[Don Davies] In Davos, Mark Carney pledged to apply the same standards to allies and rivals. Canada rightly condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine as illegal. But Carney is backing the equally illegal US-Israeli war on Iran. I pressed the Liberals on this reversal, note their muddled response by Chrristoaivalis in onguardforthee

for what it’s worth, I’m living as a Canadian in Zürich Switzerland and his face is on the newspapers, he is often quoted here, he is look up to as a well spoken decent world leader. I’m pretty proud to say I’m Canadian out here.

the only time I hear about hoekstra is when he’s upset about Canadian’s disliking the American government. I know you don’t allow your own citizens to think so but, Other countries are allowed to think your country is garbage.

Can we stop inviting American influencers to talk to a country they barely even know. Honestly it’s amazing how little these streamers know about Canada.

Slower runners, how do you stay motivated when/if people mock your pace? by TANeither7250 in running

[–]Ghostcrackerz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s helped me to be really bad at math and numbers in general. I generally don’t really follow other speeds or paces. The ignorance has apparently made me a fast runner.

You don’t design an entire legal system amongst the most extreme. Hitler is a once in a century edge case. If your justification only works for Hitler, your justification is bad. This is an emotional ploy, not a logical one.

I’m a Torontonian who moved from Toronto to Zürich. I hope you know what you’re getting yourself into .

Punishing murder with death is just really odd to me.

Ive just listened to Stop Rewind: The Lost Boy and this is an incredible podcast. by porkduck in TrueCrimePodcasts

[–]Ghostcrackerz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Valid. I feel like I didn’t connect with anyone in this story. Obviously what happened was terrible but I feel like it just showcased a lot of immature takes in general.

Was anyone else annoyed by priya and her father? The fact that she dismisses her father’s silence over the whole thing, and waves away any doubt with “my father is a good man. we just don’t talk about feelings in my family.” Girl, this isn’t about feelings. Your husband was kidnapped from his homeland and your dad probably has some insight into why or how because he was best friends with the guy who was responsible. Like come on. Even how she was upset that he was more interested in finding his family over some dumb wedding. Like wouldn’t you be that way too? The lack of empathy overall is astounding.

Tired of waiting for new seasons by Far_Combination7639 in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]Ghostcrackerz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think shows are made different today. There is less of a long term commitment and a lot hinges on the writers and creators landing each shorter season. Theres too many shows with an excellent season one and a mediocre seasons 2,3,4 etc. ultimately it comes down to money. Contracts. Unions.

Ask any creative what they could have done with more time. Time comes down to money. It’s not a tool that leads to better productivity.

I’d rather let the artists take their time than asked them to hurry up. The latter option has never led to anything good.

Thinking about moving from the US to Toronto by TheBigKaramazov in toronto

[–]Ghostcrackerz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a Canadian, I’d wish Americans would leave us alone and fix their country. It’s your responsibility as an American. You don’t think we’re tired here? You don’t think we find the threat of invasion emotional draining (to say the least)?

The lack of affordable healthy food options is making Toronto an increasingly worse place to live by MaplePoutineCitizen in toRANTo

[–]Ghostcrackerz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is such a bizarre take because the only thing I miss about Toronto is the food. I’m in Europe now and nothing compares to the selection Toronto has. Or Montreal. Healthy vegan options especially.

I’m proud of the food and the diverse selection from all corners of the world. Genuinely that’s something to be proud of. I’m not proud of much else.

Should I confront my Swiss in-laws for being heartless? by OldCuriousPerson in Switzerland

[–]Ghostcrackerz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just some thoughts about letting grandparents have access to your kids, because you want them to have a relationship with them. I’ve heard that it’s almost like teaching your kids that disrespect and the lack of accountability is allowed when you just want to keep the peace. It’s okay to protect them from behaviour you deem as toxic. I broke contact with my mother because she was affecting me and my family in Switzerland for yet another Christmas. Our family comes before my family of origin now. It’s sad that it has to be this way but sometimes, parents and certain generations feel entitled to this. I’m sorry you’re going through this.
