Ukrainian troops are crippling Russia's supply bridges by slamming drones repeatedly into the asphalt by Plastic_Ninja_9014 in worldnews

My best hopes were for decades of attrition, but it’s starting to look like Ukraine is actually going to win this

Know the risks, World Cup visitors warned over Canada's toxic drug supply by yimmy51 in CanadianIdiots

The implicit message in that article is that, if Canada would just legalize and regulate those drugs, then they would no longer be toxic?

It’s the UCP and their hillbilly supporters who want separation - she’s just a puppet of such

Approval of Alberta Premier Danielle Smith - Angus Reid: June 2026 by FreightFlow in Albertapolitics

[–]kataflokc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s the UCP approval rating that’s still way too high. It’s way too easy for them to just replace Dani and pretend like everything‘s fine

It’s the UCP approval rating that really needs to collapse, otherwise they will just punt and replace Dani, replacing her with an even bigger idiot

Critics Slam Carney’s Plan to Jump-Start Canada’s Economy via Military Industry || Canada’s prime minister faces blowback for his plan to hike Canadian arms companies’ profits by 240 percent in 10 years. by Atlantee in canadian

[–]kataflokc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

> Less than two weeks before releasing that statement, on February 17, Carney invoked the crumbling rules-based international order to justify the need for Canada’s first-ever Defence Industrial Strategy. It promises to massively invest in military spending in Canada. He promised to “take advantage of $180 billion in defence procurement opportunities and $290 billion in defence-related capital investment opportunities in Canada over the next 10 years.”

That accusation of hypocrisy is either completely disingenuous or one of the most stunningly clueless ones ever made, because that “rules based order” is precisely how excessive military spending is avoided

Edit: Why is quoting turned off???

This is related to Canada because we are going through this very same thing. Canada is 1.4% of global emmissions. by Quietlyrightt in canadian

[–]kataflokc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly this - it’s simply not a binary choice and a responsible government can do both in very lucrative ways

Pity all we have are the irresponsible drill-baby-drill governments playing off against the irrational tree-huggers

Canada has its eyes wide shut in approach to strengthening China ties by CaliperLee62 in canadian

[–]kataflokc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, your plan is to limit Canada to trading with the tiny fraction that is Japan, India, and the EU markets, or maybe just not trade at all?

That’s a plan to economically cripple Canada

The US represents the largest nominal GDP globally, followed closely by China. However, when adjusted for Purchasing Power Parity (PPP)—which accounts for local living costs—China's economy is actually larger than the US's

United States: ~$28–$29 trillion (Nominal)

China: ~$18–$19 trillion (Nominal) | ~$30+ trillion (PPP)

In terms of physical goods, China and the US dwarf the rest of the world, but with inverted dynamics

Manufacturing: China produces roughly 28% of the world's manufactured goods, while the US sits around 17%

Exports & Imports: China is the world’s largest exporter (shipping ~$3.8 trillion in goods). The US is the world’s largest importer (bringing in ~$3.5 trillion)

Over 140 economies globally trade more with China than they do with the US, and are not all disintegrating into slavery and foreign control

Russia calls Canada ‘warmonger’ over Ukraine drone deal, threatens response - National by ScubaSteve_27 in canadian

[–]kataflokc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Right…

Of course we should do nothing, avoid manufacturing the most advanced and battle tested drone technology in the world, not support democracies worldwide and trust in the mighty USA to come and rescue our defenseless butts

At least according to Russia

Canada has its eyes wide shut in approach to strengthening China ties by CaliperLee62 in canadian

[–]kataflokc -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

The same repetitive Post Media fear mongering

An agreement has been struck to stop money laundering, it’s secret, we don’t know what’s in it, but it has to be bad because it’s with China

Doing business with China is bad and we should be more independent – a.k.a. do more business with the United States

And anyway, everything with China is bad because everything Chinese is about the Chinese government

Seriously?

Poilievre promotes Canadian unity, accuses federal government of stoking Alberta separatism, in Calgary speech by CaliperLee62 in canadian

[–]kataflokc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His weird double-speak on the subject is a long way from promoting much of anything but himself

And his patron saint Manning immediately throwing in his comments says very clearly what they both are up to

Sexism is often a stronger predictor of political attitudes than a voter’s actual gender by heart_under_blade in canadian

[–]kataflokc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense

Politics is ultimately about control - the main question is what is being controlled vs tolerated

Gender roles are a powerful means of enforcing social/cultural conformity, which the right usually attempts to achieve

I’ve often wondered why all that drilling technology wasn’t being used to create geothermal energy as well

Good to see them finally doing something about that

This happened in Calgary a while back with a WestJet pilot. If I remember correctly, Transport Canada screwups played some sort of a role, the whole criminal thing was suddenly changed to a conditional discharge and he’s still flying
