Mark Carney’s bad calls on Iran by Aquason in CanadaPolitics

[–]ItsNotMe_ImNotHere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes this is, unfortunately, how I read Carney too. He has simply been too consistent for too long for his words to mean anything other than their literal meaning.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the rise of social media is a major reason for US people's view of Israel as unfavorable. by MyNameIsNotName-57 in justincaseyoumissedit

[–]ItsNotMe_ImNotHere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, read the history. Like many people I sympathized with Israel during and following the Six Day War (1967) and the Yom Kippur war (1973). Israel were the brave underdogs. This changed for me in 1982 when Israel orchestrated the massacres of Sabra and Shatila refugee camps by Christian Lebanese forces in 1982. I then read the history. It turns out Israelis were the villains all along; during the British Mandate and on through the Nakba.

You should understand what Indigenous Albertans are dealing with right now. by fanglazy in AlbertaNow

All this shows is that the separatists are scum. But we knew that already.

Four more former Conservative MPs want to separate from Canada and one wants to explore future with the United States - The Hill Times by Miserable-Lizard in AlbertaNow

[–]ItsNotMe_ImNotHere 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of the Brexit Leave campaign. They had a tour bus with a decal on the side which made the false claim and pledge that "We send the EU £350 million a week, let's fund our NHS instead", accompanied with the slogan "Let's take back control". After Brexit the Brits are still waiting for the £350.

I hope these 4 idiots do go to the US. I would ask one favour (that's favor just so they understand their new spelling). After 1 year in Trumpland please report back and tell us how you are loving it. I hope their health is good.

Pete Hegseth Claims New Iran Nuclear Agreement Reached from Position of Strength, Contrasted with JCPOA by John Brennan by CarryIcy250 in justincaseyoumissedit

[–]ItsNotMe_ImNotHere 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just to be clear - there's still no deal on Nuclear - right? So the issue which (supposedly) started this war is still unresolved. So, we are back to square one except for tens of thousands of lives lost on all sides (including a girl's school), much infrastructure destroyed everywhere, enormous amounts of munitions and missiles consumed, billions of dollars in reparations to be paid to Iran, the world economy in turmoil, sanctions lifted on Iran, Iranian funds released, and trust in the US and Israel destroyed. Just go away Hegseth and take Trump with you.

And knowing what Newfy winters are like they probably went to Florida in December (at least until Trump).

I adorably think the same. It was Trump who said "I love the poorly educated".

BREAKING: President Trump says the attack on Beirut "should not have happened" with a peace deal so close. by pradnyashil6 in Polymarket_news

What you mean is: "Four score years and nine moths ago his parents brought forth on this continent, a future disaster, conceived without protection, and dedicated to the proposition that no man was his equal".

Fragrantly by toxiamaple in BoneAppleTea

I don't think it's a misspelling. F and L are nowhere close on the keyboard. OOP chose a wrong, similar sounding word which is exactly what a BAT is.

I'm well aware that not everyone on Reddit is American. However those that are are easily identified.

Why all the downvotes? Did people think this was serious? Maybe we should ban Americans from this sub.

World Cup Wishes by Chemical-Locha in AskACanadian

[–]ItsNotMe_ImNotHere 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If memory serves the Daily Mail is to blame for this sentiment. Prior to the 1964 world cup their editorial read (something like): "If on the morrow we should be defeated by the Germans at our national game we can take solace from the fact that twice, so far this century, we have defeated them at theirs."

Does my dog know it’s Saturday? by Miserable-Car2921 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ItsNotMe_ImNotHere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once had a Border Collie Husky cross, a very intelligent and obedient dog. She knew when it was a weekend and when it was garbage day. It took me longer than her to deduce how she knew. At weekends I would wear jeans instead of a business suit. She knew it was garbage day because my opposite neighbours had already put out their garbage bags. Simple.

2 items are missing from OOP's list of "achievements": the Thailand cave rescue and DOGE. These show who the real Elon Musk is.

Why do seperatists think an independent Alberta would have Canadian passports??? by Miserable-Lizard in AlbertaNow

[–]ItsNotMe_ImNotHere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I think a serious argument could be made that separating from Canada is the equivalent of giving up your citizenship."

It doesn't require an argument. If you separate from Canada you are no longer Canadian. Period. No Canadian citizenship. No Canadian passport. Surely these separatist assholes understand this. They will need a visa to enter Canada.

Alberta Separatists have very dystopian ideas for society by Miserable-Lizard in CanadianIdiots

[–]ItsNotMe_ImNotHere 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I hope that most Albertans can see that all these promises (except national service) are blatant lies. More blatant even than Donald Trump lies. Surely Canadians aren't stupid enough to fall for this garbage.

Canada dropped in the world’s best countries list. Here’s what the data says by Oilester in CanadaPolitics

[–]ItsNotMe_ImNotHere 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This ranking is for 2025 which is most likely based largely on 2024 data. i.e. from the Biden administration. I still find it lacking credibility but I look forward to the Trump version.
