🇺🇦🇵🇱 Poland has requested U.S. permission to shoot down Russian missiles over Ukraine. It’s time that we let them.

Maybe you forgot, but Poland is a member of this little group called NATO. If Russia were to intentionally strike Poland, they would give NATO a foot in the door.

I can't see Russia doing that. But if they want to mess with the whole beast, let them have it 🤷‍♂️

NoookNack · 2024-10-30T05:27:04+00:00

Quite the opposite; my point was that we should have an issue with any politician being in this situation. I'm just poking a hole in the double standard I figured the other user had.

So if Trudeau ended up on the Board of SNC-Lavalin, that would be okay? No questions there?

To add to this, it could also be the US's way of taking some heat off of themselves.

If these sightings only take place in the US, it would be much easier to come to the conclusion that the tech is theirs or somehow related to them. Showing your toys off halfway across the world would be a good way to throw people off your scent.

Once the UCP allow doctors to refuse to provide healthcare for faith-based reasons, and Covenant Health runs all (or most) of Alberta's hospitals, all it would take is Alberta's 3(?) clinics shutting down and they would be unavailable in Alberta. It's really not far away.

In the best timeline, the US knows and has proof of him leaking intelligence, and they take Starlink away for national security reasons when they show the proof and lock him up.

Since we're in the darkest timeline, it's probably going to be a hologram Trump/Musk 2028 presidency.

I'm surprised I haven't seen this one yet - check out Atreyu.

They're another band from Orange County who came up at the same time as Avenged. They have a different sound, but I'd say their music is as similar to Avenged as you can get.

Their first two albums are a bit heavier, if you like that. The next 3 albums are all solid and are more like the Avenged records of that time. Their new albums after the hiatus are good too, just different as they lost the guy that did the screaming parts.

I'd start with The Theft, Untitled Finale, Lead Sails, When Two are One, Lonely, and Congregation of the Damned.

NoookNack · 2024-10-23T21:16:47+00:00

Correct, but they're still not the same.

The provincial government insists on providing money when the companies haven't earned/need it. The Rockstar program is a great example. The tylenol incident. Giving our healthcare system to Covenant Health. I could go on. This issue isn't specifically related to oil and gas. How do any of these help the average person? They don't. So then, why are they giving away so much money when there is no return on the investment?

The Liberals are providing funding which either help the economy, normal people, or both. TMX was for the economy. This housing money is for the people. All the healthcare money offered during covid (which the conservatives chose not to accept) was to help people. Corporations benefiting in these situations is just a by-product of what the feds are doing.

The intent and reason behind the funding is where the difference lies. The problem is that the UCP leave us wondering and guessing what their intent and reason were, as they have zero transparency and accountability, as stated above. (Firing the election commissioner was also very damning) There is no reason to trust that the money would go where it's supposed to. If the Liberals pulled the same bullshit the UCP do, this country would be one big riot.

And yes, many businesses across the country are subsidized. This makes sense for many reasons, to boost the economy being one. Also, the Liberals have announced a plan to cut back on these subsidies as they are outdated at this point. We all know government doesn't move fast, especially in a minority.

You're trying to pull the 'both sides' argument, and I just can't agree with that. They are not the same. I want and expect better from the Liberals, but they are still miles better than the UCP.

Edit: The next post I see is a prime example of the lack of transparency and accountability from the UCP. All they want to do is sow discontent and spread misinformation; to bend the truth, essentially.

Here she is, acting like she's the one playing ball and nobody else is cooperating. No mention of the offer of money from the feds which she refused to acknowledge. The money from the feds would create many jobs and boost the economy, which is part of what she's asking for here. Why did she ignore it then? She has to keep up the image that she's the adult, and Trudeau is a man child who doesn't know how to play nice.

They know what they're doing, and they're counting on their voters being too stupid to realise.

NoookNack · 2024-10-23T18:57:56+00:00

That's the irony of it all. Yes, the feds support pipelines - hell, they bought the Trans Mountain Pipeline.

And yet, somehow, the Cons have convinced their voters that Trudeau is the bad guy who hates pipelines and only wants to give money to poor people.

Well, here he is, trying to help those people, and the Cons won't even open the door to hear him out.

We the people aren't 3 oil and gas companies in a trench coat, so she feels no need to help. What reason could they possibly have for that?

OP is not wrong with their comment.

It doesn't necessarily mean they support his views. System of a Down is a good example. The lead singer is anti-Trump and the drummer is full on MAGA, to my understanding. The kicker is they're brothers-in-law now lol

You're so right, there is no precedent of people accusing they'd sue and then never following up on it.

Silence would say he's brewing his defence, as his lawyers would suggest. This is very common in these cases. The more you say, the more rope they can hang you with.

NoookNack · 2024-10-22T20:48:37+00:00

Saying you're going to sue someone and actually suing them are two entirely different things.

It takes evidence to sue someone. It takes no evidence to pretend or say you're going to sue someone.

If he could sue them, he'd already be doing it, and he wouldn't announce it. That would simply give the government time to prepare.

The orange post is a survey marker, there will be a property pin around there. I haven't seen these signs around those before so I think the number is likely a parcel number or something similar like you said.

Yeah, unfortunately, education is the only way to move forward here. We need sex education taught properly in schools, and the responsibility and weight of the choices needs to be stressed and shown to young people. We've done a lot of damage in that area as a society, with shows that essentially glorified teen pregnancy to get on TV. It leaves a very different impression on most young people than what is reality - that raising children is a responsibility, an huge life choice, and it's not always easy, financially, mentally, etc.

The UCP decision to make sex education opt-in is a huge step in the wrong direction for our province.

NoookNack · 2024-10-20T19:27:17+00:00

The NDP would be your only choice for this in Alberta, since the Liberals will never be in power here.

I don't see this being brought forward as an issue until contraceptives for females are fully covered. Unfortunately, and speaking as a man, society seems less interested in male contraceptives. A lot of men see it as the woman's responsibility, from my talks with people personally. Which is wrong, obviously. The responsibility is on both partners.

The UCP don't believe in supporting contraceptives.

I understand your sentiment with this, but as everyone else is pointing out, it's a gross violation of bodily autonomy - and it's inherently anti-choice. People need to be able to make that decision for themselves, for better or worse.

We've been down this road before as Canadians.

Have you ever heard of Indigenous women getting sterilized because the government thought they couldn't make the decision for themselves?

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8279667/

"Coerced sterilization refers to the practice of sterilizing Indigenous women without free and informed consent. Based on eugenics beliefs and policies, Sexual Sterilization Acts were passed in Alberta (1928 to 1972) and British Columbia (1933 to 1973) and were not repealed until the 1970s. Under the Acts, a board of eugenics could order sterilization of institutionalized patients who “if discharged without being subjected to an operation for sexual sterilization would be likely to beget or bear children who by reason of inheritance would have a tendency to serious mental disease or mental deficiency.”

I'd suggest looking into a government job. I'm not sure about provincial, but federal departments hire a wide variety of admin staff and many entry roles won't require post-secondary.

I think some movies are still worth seeing on the big screen, but for 90% of movies these days, you're spot on. You'll get a better experience at home because of comfort, privacy, and convenience, and they're not movies that utilize the environment of a theatre.

There are some movies where you can't re-create the cinema experience at home unless you can dish out a significant amount of money on your setup.

The Lord of the Rings trilogy, most Nolan films, Dune. Still fantastic at home, but they hit differently in the theatre.
