The West reacted far more strongly and assertivelly than last time around.
This could he because they saw how WWII started and realized that the only smart move was stopping it before they built momentum. What surprises me is that Putin thought everyone would just let it happen in spite of the historical outcomes.
If you want to talk about taxes, include cost of your healthcare. Because that’s included in our taxes.
Fun fact, America pays as much per capita for healthcare through taxes as Canadians, but that only gets you Medicare and Medicaid. Americans sure get angry about a lot of things, but I never see them get angry about that.
Now do the exchange rate.
Seems like a pretty sane way to handle market pressures, rather than, “I hope nothing terrible happens and my bill is suddenly thousands of dollars.”
Chretien did similar to G7 summit protesters decades ago. This isn’t an endorsement of either act, but it certainly isn’t new.
Reagan proved conclusively that an effective government can have a dementia patient as the figurehead. It isn’t ideal, but the people he is surrounded by make a huge difference.
Now, I’m not saying I agree with the policies his presidency promoted, but it was still effective
Wow, that’s a read. Conrad was outraged by Chretien thwarting his desire to be a Lord by…pointing out the laws of Canada. Renounced his citizenship out of spite after losing two law suits where he attempts to have the courts say the law doesn’t apply to him. And then, after all this, loses his seat due to non-attendance, after he’s been quoted as saying he wants to restart his political career (and then doesn’t). Every step of the way, he touts his exceptionalism due to the large pile of cash he sits atop. And as a cute aside, gets convicted of fraud in the U.S. and is pardoned by Trump, which is pretty damning in my eyes. A true caricature of humanity.
What, terror offenses might get me sentenced to life in the UAE? That’s pretty serious, I don’t think I could handle that much heat.
That title could definitely be written better.
First and foremost, she isnt eligible to be president until next year. She’s only 34, and won’t be 35 until after the inauguration.
Whoops, looks like I misread and was off by a year. I don’t think it’s going to matter this time around, but hopefully they keep her in mind for the future.
Streaming is legal in Canada, regardless of the legality if the hosts. Moreover, we have precedent in Canada that tops off your fines for illegal downloading at about $500 for all previous non-commercial infringements of any kind, which means any suits brought against Canadians are at a loss before you even have a meeting with their lawyers.
Well shit, now I feel like a bit of an ass. Sorry for the snark.
A whole screen of text and you didn’t even finish the first sentence of my comment, and don’t appear to have read the second to last one…
I mean, Russia would gain a country’s worth of land if Europe and America would just fuck off, so I’d say he has as much to gain as any given billionaire in America and Europe. And politically weakening your opponents by sowing division among their electorate seems like a relatively easy way to do it. Hell, there’s even a book about it.
Certainly, those billionaires have been pushing in the same direction, but I think they have help.
I just love the people who go crazy when the government passes a law that people are sure will be unconstitutional, and of course the latest time the Liberals did it Poilievre was all over it, then when says he will not only pass unconstitutional laws but will use the Notwithstanding clause to keep them, they are suspiciously silent.
Poilievre isn’t an idiot, for all his other failings. Just because he hasn’t outright said how far he’s willing to take things doesn’t mean he doesn’t have plans to. It has the potential to be very bad.
It was sarcasm, which seems to be harder to convey in text than any number of battery advancements.
Just watch for graphics tearing. On a completely unrelated note, why are earthquake zones so heavily populated?
Also, the battery pack for a cell phone 30 years ago was about the same volume and weight of an entire smartphone, with a capacity of about 500 mAh. They are also far cheaper if you account for inflation.
Batteries have improved incapacity by about a factor of 10 and the cost per watt-hour has reduced by about 99% in the last 30 year. All without a single advancement in the technology, apparently.

I’ve never used one in my life, but I feel like it would have more impact in a language with writing rules such as Spanish’s.
And also the sexy agent thing.
What exactly does this have to do with anything in the above comment?
And the odds of any of that happening is vanishingly small if Trump wins. Even if he doesn’t, I think he won’t see any serious consequences from this. In court, anyway.
