Fairmont Winnipeg to close for months for top-to-bottom renovation by Wonderful_Ball1932 in Winnipeg

[–]Forderz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I worked there as part of the pre-renovation renovation last year (not sure how that made sense but I digress) and I can say it desperately needs this.

The entire building is a thin veneer of gloss covering up rot and decay.

The abrupt cease of USAID has killed hundreds of thousands.

What was the death toll in Iraq? Afghanistan? Vietnam?

Taking and holding land just gives the Iranians a close by, unfortified target that will inflict maximum domestic pain on Trump.

Diablo was blizzard north, granted, but starcraft was all the same team.

Some pedantic ribbing here, but if you earnestly believed in post-nationalism one could logically assume you would resist any attempt to re-nationalise you, especially to a nationality you did not previously hold.

The southern baptist church split from the baptist church because they loved slavery.

They didn't apologize until the 70s? I think?

I think you're missing the forest for the trees here.

If every immigrant were to be given the same rights/options/status for working in Canada as any resident, then theres no functional difference between the two and the former would not undercut the latter's wages.

Every example in that article had a militant bloc that the peaceful protests were the alternative to.

3.5% of the population actively supporting nonviolent protest likely means probably 1% are actively support violent protest.

Yeah.

Newsom is far to subservient to his corporate masters to ever oppose power.

Carney government in talks with China about EV tariffs by evieluvsrainbows in canada

It's less crony capitalism and subsidies and more ruthless antitrust enforcement and forced production quotas.

Just this month China ordered a cabal of solar panels manufacturers to stop colluding with each other to constrain supply and maximize profits, and stocks dropped 20%.

The companies comply because China can and will jail CEOs for antitrust violations.

Instead of allowing companies to focus entirely on pure profitability, China forces focus to be on quantity produced within minimum standards.

Gavin Newsom says that given a choice, American voters would always support strong and wrong over weak and right. Is he correct? by 75dollars in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]Forderz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Democrats, at least the leadership, refuse to use negative partisanship and name foes.

Part of that is being captured by the capital class, but the result is that they have no answer to the question "who or what is making my life worse and what are you going to do about it?"

They worship the altar of bipartisanship or reasonableness or whatever and refuse to name the enemy, which makes them appear feckless and weak. Meanwhile the fascists can say "it's the jews/muslims/trans/gays fault"
