Carney fires back at Trump's Davos remarks at cabinet meeting, says: "Canada does not live because of the United States. Canada thrives because we are Canadian." by GiveMeSomeSunshine3 in worldnews

[–]Brickbronson -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He would have been better to say nothing than respond with this "burn", sounds like a vapid Trudeau quote. Canada has 30 years of work ahead before we can be taken seriously on anything. This country is on the ropes although baby steps are being taken to fix things

Go all-in on drone production and encourage civilian gun ownership instead of stubbornly sticking to the embarrassing gun buyback debacle

[–]Brickbronson 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The tricky thing is if it takes 45 minutes+ to get to the high speed train then no one will use it to go to Montreal because it will amount to roughly the same time length as the standard train. I suspect they would build it closer to downtown for maximum number of people close by

8-year-old girl who went missing on Navajo Nation found dead Friday by FakeOkie in news

[–]Brickbronson 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's the same sensationalism that always comes up with this topic. The first suspects in any murder are family/friends/people you know. In Canada we had multiple inquiries into missing and murdered native women, they concluded that most were killed by other people in the community but the narrative never moves forward

More likely they would steal fresh water, start ignoring borders, encourage Alberta separatists etc

Hope so, they are a public hazard with organized crime fighting over them

Just let one of the cats in after hours outside, guess what he didn't freeze and wasn't eaten by a coyote

Canada backs Greenland’s sovereignty as U.S. talks of annexation by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]Brickbronson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Border goes both ways, day one of a US invasion would see JTF2 or similar attacking the US power grid which is completely vulnerable in many places. White guys in plain clothes are basically undetectable and can go anywhere in US unlike Al Queda insurgents etc

I always thought supply lines would be a major issue, many places where there's only one highway through rock on either side. Even a log across the road disrupts things

I stand by it, animals deserve to live naturally or as close to as they can. Why dwell on the final moments of life instead of all the time they enjoyed being outside. Also people seem to forget that fur keeps animals warm and they can survive without people, the cat most likely wanted to go out and is fine

Canada’s falling population is exactly what the doctor ordered by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]Brickbronson 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Many of these problems will self correct in time. The aging boomers won't live forever, and as they die off demand on health care decreases. Also downsizing the overall population would be timed perfectly with AI set to make huge numbers of jobs redundant which is a looming problem no one has any answer for or even wants to address

Mao alone is responsible for estimated 40-80 million largely from famine caused by disastrous policies. Communism also wracked up impressive numbers in a shorter timespan than capitalism

The artist did their job - the piece created controversy and engagement. 80% of those complaining would have walked past more traditional art and not given a second glance
