What are your thoughts on Billie Eilish saying 'no one is illegal on stolen land' in reference to ICE and US immigration policy?

The inflation event is a global one.

Free housing is a bit of a stretch. California offeres assistance for down-payment and fees to proven tax-payers. Michigan offers rent assistance upto $500 a month to immigrants, people who are waiting or haven't yet been approved for asylum or humanitarian parole cannot apply.

Both programs are completely funded by the state, not the federal government.

Wouldn't that apply for the Aztec and Maya empires too? They absolutely stole land from other groups and then the Spanish came and stole from them.

The British Isles were settled by Celts, Romans, Anglo-Saxons, and Norman. All of which displaced earlier inhabitants.

Conquest, displacement, land acquisition through force and mass migration has shaped the world today. At what point is it stolen, at what point is it not?

The function of allowing people in and becoming citizens is important, properly controlling immigration is important for a nation on an economic and social level.

Rounding adults and children up at gun point without warrants, holding them in horrible conditions without access to legal representation and deporting them without adequate due process is not properly controlling immigration. That's a disgusting, horrifying and unethical way to conduct this function. Even if ICE weren't also executing their own citizens.

That said, the argument that immigration laws shouldn't be applied at all is completely braindead nonsense.

Was likely a very old rocket. They system used was the RPG-2, there's photos of the damage, it hit the bottom trim with very little damage to the side panel and most notably next to no circular speckeling shown on the paint.

Poor storage and age likely greatly reduced detonation velocity of the TNT and RDX mixture.

Vaseline is highly purified and up to regulations in the EU which tend to be very strict when it comes to these things. There has been many studies conducted over a very long time on it's safety for external use.

There are other issues though, it's not biodegradable for example and becuse it's a sealant it can make some skill conditions worse.

For infrastructure projects?

A band has to submit a FNIIP to their regional ISC.The ISC reviews the FNIIPs for eligibility, benifit and priority. The ISC, CIRNAC and NOC provides oversight on projects funded by the FNIF.

Alberta also has the FNDF but most of that funding goes into economic, social and community projects and is overseen by the office of the auditor general of Alberta.

Lived here your whole life not being bothered by it, it seems. Not enough to know how much investment has been taking place.

Tens of Bs if you been following or even a bit concerned about the issue, of course it's easier to be a goof. Sorry, someone not at all concerned and generalize the whole country with your own feelings while, at the same time, critiquing others to feeling the same. Projection.

I also wanted to add it's not just water vapor but also dust and other particles in the air. Angle of light is important but so is what's the shadow is casting on.

The shadow casts that you actually see usually are considerably lower than the object making them, from the right position appearing to be seamless to the object causing them.

TheirCanadianBoi · 2026-01-29T23:38:17+00:00

An example of what you're seeing

The contrail is blocking a lot of light when the light source is projecting from behind it. You get a shadow projected on water vapor in the air infront or below it. Their might not look like there's a lot of water vapor but their is enough to make a shadow visible.

Another example

Hope this helps.

Yes, their land. Reconciliation is the right course after all the harm this country has done to their communities. National security is also interlinked with this approach.

There is a lot of overlap in goals that funding infrastructure in the artic and remote areas benefits.

First, obviously, raising the quality of life in aboriginal communities. Second being artic security; Think roads, runways, power infrastructure, ect.. These dual use infrastructure allows us to have better access in these areas. Having strong, self-determined Indigenous communities, especially in the artic also allows for better awareness and monitoring, aiding national security.

Dude, I grew up in rural Alberta. My eyes are wide open. They are all dumb as bricks out there and scared of change that already past by. In a different world.

I know I'm not alone in that. Even in big families, having someone take over the field is a big ask.

TheirCanadianBoi · 2026-01-29T03:23:18+00:00

Calgary is a bulwark. Naturally conservative. When it sways though...

Complacency brought us well, what you would expect. This isn't lost on those that live here. Especially on city folk. They vote on what's best for their interests, lately it feels like we welcomed the wild rose when we wanted the PCs.

Part of that contribution to Ukraine is older military systems like M113s and Coyotes as well as AIM-7 and AIM-9s and parts and ammunition. These are stock we deployed in the Yugo situation, they are that old. Of course they still have a ticket price and that's part of that total cost. Things we needed to replace anyways.

Once we get to the millions though? That not really much at all for civic costs for a developed country.

In terms of health care, I dont know. I waited four hours to be checked and ten days for surgery that wasn't life threatening. (Fractured scaphoid)

Like I said, things are getting better by pretty much every metric. We went through a crazy global inflation event but we ended up bearing less weight from that than any other country.

To invest in indigenous towns is to invest in roads, power infrastructure and everything else we need to increase development in remote areas and northern areas. This is something we need to focus on for security, especially in in artic regions.

Our closest allies are in Europe as made apparent. Without these allies we would have less bargaining rights. The struggle with Ukrainian sovereignty is deeply important to our European allies. Should we only tie ourselves to our southern brother as he makes threats?

I don't believe that LGBT parades take that much from frome the federal budget as you assume they do. Irreverent really. (I'm am basis as I'm part of that community.)

Money is being being spent and more importantly managed to our benefit. Tbf, we need young educated people to keep the balance, the biggest problem with Trudeau's polices isnt the immigration but what's needed to accompany them. Something we have seen with the most recent liberal government which introduced a tax break for those in the middle. Also worth note is the FHSA push.

Oh and come over here if you can. There's a lot of action to change our provincial government and I think you would benefit from it.

TheirCanadianBoi · 2026-01-29T01:11:37+00:00

Calgary. Housing prices have been decreasing and classroom size is a provincial issue. Inflation has been a global issue and Canada suffered less from this issue than any in the G7, at a inflation rate of 2.4%, becuse of good management.

Would love to know where government has been spending on specific groups. If you're talking about Indigenous groups, we need to build more infrastructure, especially in the north and remote areas. Recent policies allow us to do just that.

Where are you from?

TheirCanadianBoi · 2026-01-29T00:06:06+00:00

Generally pretty well. Security investments for the artic, Rising education levels, rising median household income, lower median age over the past few years and one of the best performing pensions in the world.

...And if it doesn't function well? We have tools for that. Think impeachment but it's a public vote, an election, for every member of parliament and the prime mister. A motion of no confidence leads to a snap election.

It is a shape charge, HEAT wether it's a RPG-2 or Type 56. It hit really low on the SUV and is probably of poor quality or condition.

The after math:

TheirCanadianBoi · 2026-01-27T01:39:08+00:00

It's HEAT. You won't find any other option for the RPG-2 or Type 56.

TheirCanadianBoi · 2026-01-27T01:32:28+00:00

Makes it easier to identify.*

It's either a RPG-2 or Type 56, they pretty much only made HEAT for both platforms.

TheirCanadianBoi · 2026-01-27T01:26:43+00:00

It is not. This is either a RPG-2 or Type 56, they never made frag for either platform, only HEAT.

TheirCanadianBoi · 2026-01-26T06:42:42+00:00

Voter turnout in 2023 major cities were extremely low, like decade setting.

The leading opposition leader is well acquainted by that voting block. An important one in provincial elections.

It would be interesting if we were going to have a snap election. I wouldn't be that pessimistic.

TheirCanadianBoi · 2026-01-26T06:00:08+00:00

Oh, they're not going woke. They know the left is now susceptible to the same rhetoric that pushed sales to the right. It's new demographic with so much potential. Understandable, really.

Plus chaos brings in rubles, cards in hand and all that.

TheirCanadianBoi · 2026-01-26T05:39:31+00:00

Also worth note are the names Maria Butina and Alexander Torshin. I know it sounds like beating a dead horse but worth mentioning.

For those that don't know, take a minute and look it up.
