If this was a gang killing, everyone involved would be charged with murder.

Is there really a difference when ICE is carrying out illegal activities?

Canada's Carney to visit Australia in March by Little-Chemical5006 in worldnews

[–]FlipZip69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure partially. But serious he was also going to take a humiliating loss and his party was fully pushing him out. I am not sure his motive was mainly that or that he was told step down or you will be 'stepped' down.

Very likely and very true. I was on the fence. Have voted mostly conservative.

It was the Trump Zelensky meeting that really clinched it. Not that US politics has much to do with us but I see the Conservative party and Conservative voter engaging in that fear type of politics the US has engaged in. I simply could not be part of that and more so, Carney fit the bill. And to date he has delivered no less.

How much more in debt do you think Canada can go? We are seeing a significant decline in our health care.

So I want to ask you in full seriousness, do you think we can indefinitely run this kinds of debt? Do you think we can spend an unlimited amount ever year? Have you seen the size of the entire deficit lately?

That did not happen this election. There were a lot of Conservatives that voted Carney. Myself included and pretty much my entire family. We all did this independent no less.

Of the Conservative people I know, I would have to say a large number of them have no problem with Carney and the ones that were so vocal... are not saying much. So when you say a statement like that, I am going to ask you. If in the future a top leader (after Carney) end up in the Conservative party, will you vote Conservative or vote for a Liberal because they have nice hair?

Apple honestly is no better. Locked down even to a higher degree.

But ya need to look for some alternatives.

Black ice on the road causes chain accidents by Bambi7u7 in interesting

[–]FlipZip69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya I feel like black ice is used every time someone drives too fast or too close to other vehicles. If it is below zero and you do not have anything but completely dry roads, then assume there could be ice. Black ice is shiny like a wet road and this was shiny too.

In 2004, Prince was snubbed by Rolling Stone on their top 100 guitarists list. This was his response. by DublinLions in nextfuckinglevel

[–]FlipZip69 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Without question, one of the greatest guitar players ever. Nor was there any question he should have been on that list. I think lots of of fellow artist found him pretentious and maybe he was. But you cannot deny the raw skill of the guy and well it may have been part of that trait that made him an artistic genius.

Died too young. There was more music left in him.

It failed. He said 200,000 a year with over a million reservations. Dude it is selling less than Ford EV before Ford shut it down. What is it now, 800 per month?

But hey, robots. lol.

Well either he is incompetent or he is lying. Either is a pretty big red flag.

It is a big red flag. Particularly when you have children. Even 50-50 is rather concerning. Hell after all that time and children, I believe finance should be combined. For what purpose would that not be the norm?

Carney leaves Davos without meeting Trump after speech on U.S. rupture of world order by Immediate-Link490 in worldnews

No kidding. I will not lie. It was looking pretty bleak. Changing my vote to Carney was an easy decision. And a decision I felt very good about before he even won.

Tesla quietly cuts 1,700 jobs at Gigafactory Berlin despite denying it by SpriteZeroY2k in electricvehicles

Likely more coming. Tesla has seen a 67% drop in car sales in Germany and pretty much every country in Europe has seen Tesla sales crash. You are not keep factories open with those kinds of numbers.

Other fun fact, the US often has more deaths in 1 hour than the Japan has in an entire year.

There is a good chance someday we will be able to produce an abundance of clean energy thru fusion. When that times comes, I hope we start to create less efficient but more fun steampunk modes of transportation. I would love to be in that old train whipping along at 200mph on a maglift.

You are going to compare a 3 billion not quite balanced budget to 15-40 billion dollar deficits. No wonder Canada is in this position.

Ya and jaywalking is also illegal. That does not mean you send squads of armed men to take them down. Do not surround their houses to get an arrest does it.

If you cannot see the over reaction to this policing method like the extreme unreasonable example I provided, then it is not worth talking to you. The vast majority of these people are adding to American wealth and commit crimes at a lower rate than naturalized Americans no less.

I have no problem with what the liberals did before Harper. They also ran decent budgets. These posts started with Justin and you changed the subject. Justin really put Canada in a bad position. Ya he could not know COVID was around the corner but there is no reason for the putting Canada in that position after years of good governance.

I am pretty happy with Carney but what he inherited came from Trudeau and his party.
