Carney’s response was brutal. He totally gave up on the whole international law and territorial integrity thing. Israel’s foreign minister just mocked us publicly a week ago and already Carney is compromising his expressed values to take their side in an illegal attack. It’s pretty pathetic. Kills my confidence in him that any of the Canadian sovereignty rhetoric is more than just that.
That was well-worth reading. I can’t say I’m shocked at all about the National Post’s anti-Palestinian bias, but they did quite a good job of laying out the extent of the bias and the actual deceptive practices used by the National Post to change content to increase anti-Palestinian bias while still attributing it to the Canadian Press. It’s shameful.
Another small but positive step. Keep going, Canada. There are many more steps to take to get on the right side of this.
I can’t be the only one who can’t help thinking of the rumored Trump golden shower tapes every time he talks about the golden dome. It’s what I imagine he’s dreaming of, but on a continental scale.
Puts in context all the fear mongering about China’s military buildup while they’re sitting at 1.7% of GDP.
Fleeing the US to Canada feels a bit like fleeing Nazi Germany to Poland in the early 1930’s. I hope it doesn’t end up that way.
My preference would be for active nonalignment in the China-US rivalry while broadening relations with other stable nations looking to similarly ride those waves.
I really, really hope we do not fall in line with the US. A window has been opened for us by Trump, but the little I’ve heard from Ray and Carney regarding China makes me worry we will align with the US after all in what is the world’s principal rivalry.
What a completely tactless piece of trash thing to say.
It’s definitely not good for students. It might be what a student ends up eating because of lack of resources needed to eat better, but anyone who is engaged in learning and needs their brain to perform well isn’t going to get what they need from this.
I wonder, what would the consequences have been for Ukraine if Russia had first built an air defence system that extended across all of Ukraine’s airspace? I’m sure nothing bad could have come from that for Ukraine… right?
I would like to think this is more than performative, but given the history of inaction I won’t be holding my breath as a wait to see something more than threats and condemnation.
This actually made me lol
This was entirely predictable and is quite gratifying.
Not really sure how any US diplomat can be taken seriously in their public statements when sycophancy for a completely dishonest and untrustworthy leader is a requirement for keeping their job.
I would rather they be sanctioned.
Better late than never.
“There is no public uproar and little clamour from within the institutions; … Resistance must come from outside the institutions”
Pretty revealing take. “Resistance”
Alberta 2025 = Crimea 2013
Moderate conservatives and far-right secessionist conservatives don’t agree on secession, but if she doesn’t do what the far-right conservatives want, she might lose political power, so she’s happy to support the people threatening to tear the country apart because it serves her personal interests.
So, the valedictorian was a good student and learned the lessons of history and the values that we would hope for her to learn. Good for her.
I would have been very disappointed to have a principal under me make a choice like that during my career.
The student should receive a public apology from the principal and be allowed to finish her school year with dignity alongside her classmates.
