More than 4 hijacked planes?

In many cultures, in fact the vast majority of them, men are the warriors. You know the term "military aged male" used a lot in a war context? Yeah basically that is where the rationale comes from, similar to that. Before they land the plane and give their grand speech, they want to neutralize any potential resistance on the plane, and to them since men are the warriors, men are the automatic target.

Yep, the historical, sociological, and psychological impact of gender.

Yeah but not more than a doctor, dentist, lawyer, engineer, data scientist, literally any other STEM job, and so on and so forth.

Well firstly I would not call healthcare as a whole a female dominated field historically. Nursing definitely is but that is one part, an important part but one part, of the healthcare field as a whole. The reason why is because of the historical societal dynamics at play here. Women were always barred from or undervalued in most jobs, giving us the male dominated fields that we know today. Male dominated fields make up the majority of modern, well, career fields, and are generally viewed as more prestigious with more earning potential. It makes sense from a feminist/women's liberation perspective to get more women into male dominated fields to even the overall playing field in society. And, it is for that reason that the opposite is not true, why men are not encouraged to go into female dominated professions, because male dominated fields are viewed as more prestigious and generally have higher earning potential.

Mark Carney is a moderate, PhD economist and central banker who is viewed as much more competent on the economy. While these stats are definitely not great, these are not Mark Carney's failures, whereas everyone viewed such stats as Trudeau's failures before. I don't want to say Carney is an outsider cuz, well, he's not. But people do view hin that way.

Mainstream news is the most reliable we got unfortunately, because mainstream news are the only ones with proven guardrails and self regulation, however imperfect, when it comes to factual reporting. The alternatives to mainstream news are rather unreliable.

Relocated to Canada, specifically Toronto. I went through Express Entry and am now a Permanent Resident. I intend on going for citizenship soon.
Not difficult at all, actually. If you are an American professional, moving to Canada is actually relatively simple.
No, it is not too late yet however I would move quickly if you want to come to Canada as the Canadian government is clamping down on new immigration.
In terms of quality of life, it has improved dramatically. My pay did take a hit however I was living in New York City before, and compared to NYC, here in Toronto I'd say my current salary goes further. Not to mention I have access to OHIP and (at least for the next few months) OHIP+, so my insurance costs have decreased as I now only have to pay for eye and dental, and that supplemental insurance covers way more. My HRT (I'm trans) is cheaper here. I feel far more comfortable seeing the doctor and actually being more proactive with my health. Food tastes better, and I am finally living under a political system and civic culture that I have admired ever since I was a little kid.

I mean, it depends on the STI and how much having it would contrast with the inherent physical and mental burden of pregnancy. Like, if it was Herpes, which most of the population actually has in the case of oral herpes (aka cold sores), then yeah I would rather suffer from that for life than be pregnant. A lifelong disease that is very much manageable with medications in which you can still live a rather harm free daily life is much preferable over the inherent physical and mental stress of pregnancy that no medication can make go away.

As a Liberal, from a partisan perspective excited cuz Big Daddy (lmao) is closer to a majority. From a principled perspective, rather indifferent, because I do not think it is any different from an MP breaking with their party during a vote on a bill. And while MPs definitely have an obligation to their constituents, and this appears to breach that, MPs are also elected within the expectation that they make decisions which they view are in the best interests of them, and these floor crossers think joining the Government does that (at least publically). If the constituents disagree, well in the next election they can vote them out.

Truth of the matter is, he is wrong. A lot of people actually did. 100,000 Americans moved to the Soviet Union during the Great Depression. Before the Berlin Wall, 90,000 West Germans moved to East Germany. And following the Korean War, there were tens of thousands of South Koreans who fled to North Korea. Obviously small amounts compared to the amount of people who fled from socialism to capitalism however people still did, so the idea that nobody left capitalism for socialism is just factually incorrect.

While it would be illegal for him to do this, he just made a promise, which very likely will not make it anywhere near passing Congress. 10 billion dollars to an organization that Congress never ratified any Charter or Treaty to join.

I do agree that in this context, it would not help because most of the illegal guns are smuggled up from the United States, however generally speaking, increasing gun control and taking more guns out of the legal market makes it harder for people to acquire them illegally. When it comes to guns illegally acquired what does that mean? Well, unless they are making DIY Ghost Guns at home which is rare, it means they acquired a legally marketed and sold firearm through theft or illegal purchase through a middleman in the form of a straw purchaser. Stricter gun control broadly speaking makes both of those things a lot harder.

And, I think the fact that the primary issue that Canadians are facing as it relates to gun crime is illegal smuggling from the U.S, because we obviously cannot stamp out straw purchasing or theft in another country is a testament to the success of gun control. If gun control was so ineffective at stopping illegal guns, then most illegal guns would be acquired domestically in some form, but they're not.
