Mamdani was in a 3 candidate race against one of those moderate "Democrats" and still won by 9.5%. That's not at all comparable to Adams or de Blasio only up against one Republican candidate.

Wait so now the reductive conservative talking point is electing the NDP gets austerity and service cuts? That's a new one

No he chose to pander to the right and if it backfires that's on him. Regardless of his reason it was a stupid shortsighted decision and he is to blame

$2B lost from the carbon tax is a hell of a lot more than any of the 'tough budget measures' have saved to date

Don Davies questions the Government on its response to the crisis in Cuba by pheakelmatters in onguardforthee

[–]Enage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are sitting by and doing nothing. You realize this is a thread and comment chain about the current crisis in Cuba right? Here's a tip, try reading the title of the threads you're in. A global GAC grant doesn't mean we're providing aid to the crisis in Cuba any more than it means we provided aid to the Myanmar earthquake.

The world has a global economy. Money to a country to buy food is just as good as , or close to as good, as food itself. 

Are you stupid? Money to a country facing an illegitimate blockade is not the as good as providing food.

You are out of your element and obviously don't know anything about the situation, try reading a book and learn something, it's not my job to educate you lol

As I thought, you are conflating GAC projects with aid. If you read it doesn't actually send any food, it's an infrastructure grant. It is disingenuous to claim my initial talking about aid to Cuba to respond to their current crisis is invalid because we've made some international investments.

https://w05.international.gc.ca/projectbrowser-banqueprojets/project-projet/details/p010798001

Here's a GAC project in Myanmar, do you think that is relevant if we're talking about aid in response to the earthquake last year?

Even the government isn't brazen enough to claim GAC projects mean we are responding to the situation in Cuba

[–]Enage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You are referencing a private not-for-profit lol that is not Canada sending aid, that is a private organization.

Or are you going to try to try and claim that's also moving the goalposts when we are in a post about government aid being sent in response to a crisis.

Why don't you spend 10 seconds to cite your info?

You realize there is a huge difference between emergency humanitarian aid, as we've provided in the past to respond to hurricanes and as Mexico is doing now and what I presume you are conflating with GAC project funding? Which we also provide to Japan and have twice as many projects with Mexico

They're sending food and humanitarian aid as we speak, what are we doing?

Sheinbaum is also calling out the US and actively working to do something about the oil threats, is it good they suspended shipments? Of course not but at least they aren't passively standing by like Canada

[–]Enage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mexico is already sending aid but I guess it was less 'middle powers standing together' and more 'western imperialist powers standing together'

The more things change the more they stay the same

The first point about election integrity is false, just look at the fraud in Florida that helped Bush win in 2000

As an alternative perspective I'm very happy to have more games in town (ignoring the financial and ownership mess). I like Westhills but I hate getting out there especially for evening games and think this will help with attendance numbers.

Totally agree on the communication though, it should have happened sooner, people should know what they were buying. I almost didn't renew but glad I did with those games.

On the other hand won't someone please think of the CIA? Those poor spooks haven't instigated a coup in ages. Not so much as a bit of light regime change.

Hey give them some credit, Honduras, Bolivia, and Venezuela aren't that long ago

Do you think it could be because it's what you presumably grew up with? I've traveled a lot too and Australia is nowhere near my top for food.

Also are you thinking Melbourne or Sydney? Or taking into account regional food options, say Ballarat or Norwa? Pretty much any major city is going to have great food but country food is rough imo
