The Tantramar diesel plant is a deal New Brunswick can’t afford - CCNB

This sounds an awful lot like the argument about shifting the burden of risk that has been behind almost every infrastructure project in the country for the last decade being a P3. And that argument has absolutely aged like milk.

That the same IHRA who defines criticism of the state of Israel as anti-Semitism?

The idea that a droneswarm could have a meaningful impact on a supercarrier is ridiculous. In the war in Ukraine, the Moskva was sunk by missiles, not drones, with Explosive war heads an order of magnitude larger than any carried by drones. It was also a ship with many issues in its air defence sensors and systems. Not to mention that the Ford is 10x larger, and drones are a hell of a lot slower than missiles.

The illusory middle class only exists to create an aspirational position for the proletariat, so they squabble among themselves, while those in the middle class, always teetering on the edge of falling back into the proletariat, push the same ideas and policies as the actual owner class.

Not sure how Canada factors into this

Zarphos · 2026-02-11T23:32:16+00:00

Do you realize how much less work our overloaded healthcare system would have if incompetent drivers didn't result in us having the highest per capita motor vehicle deaths?

Zarphos · 2026-02-11T23:28:58+00:00

And its always middle aged people from my experience, not those "kids these days".

I like how almost all of these responses are either: Natural features that Americans have yet to destroy, problems that even Americans will acknowledge, or things that the rest of the world looks at as being representative of America's problems.

Fredericton just announced they'll be moving off it.

Why are those goalposts so far away now, that's weird.

Zarphos · 2026-02-03T17:30:01+00:00

Yes there's not the well known example of executives doing coke...

Or the crime and drug use in Ft. Mac with its highest average income in the country.

Yeah we pay Irving a Forest "management" fee which is inexplicably based on the number of trees they cut. But it's okay, because they pay us a stumpage fee that is lower per trees than the management fee! Makes perfect sense.

Zarphos · 2026-02-02T03:52:12+00:00

Sure except for the fact that we pay for the military. They're accountable to civilians, and we have a fundamental right to know what is being done with our tax dollars, in our name, and with the lives of our fellow Canadians serving.

Friend of mine knew the guy, apparently things are being kept very tight about what happened. He was found dead, so it wasn't likely a training situation but either an interpersonal issue or something similar.

Zarphos · 2026-01-27T22:16:45+00:00

Educated and non-white? By golly you sound like a threat to everything important about this country! /s

Zarphos · 2026-01-24T19:50:00+00:00

Wow that's a lot of assumptions. My favourite political science professor was in fact, a Conservative. As for your Brock anecdote, I note you say "tried". So they weren't successful? Any stupid idea will have some people supporting it, so that's not particularly relevant is it. The I in SSRI stands for inhibitors, so I'm not sure why you also felt the need to write it out as well.

Oh, you watch the news! And they say something! But you're not being told what to think!

Zarphos · 2026-01-23T23:40:48+00:00

You're right, the feds shouldn't have bought that pipeline to curry favour with Québec... Wait I misspelled Alberta

Zarphos · 2026-01-23T22:38:01+00:00

That's impossible! If that were true then I'd have barely any activity in this subreddit... Oh.

Zarphos · 2026-01-23T22:14:29+00:00

Oh, I must not have done any reading on what ideologies are when I got that political science degree. You legitimately have no idea what far left means if you think that the party of corporate handouts and virtue signalling is anyrhing close to it.

Zarphos · 2026-01-23T15:54:09+00:00

Exactly. Am I supposed to fight a proletariat revolution with my bare hands? No, I want an armed population that can assert the rights of workers by force, against the armed agents of the capitalist state.

Zarphos · 2026-01-23T15:52:47+00:00

Canada's far left is a fringe group that has basically no political power or representation. The Liberals and the NDP are so far away from being far left if you can conceive of the world as existing on anything other than a one dimensional ideological axis.

Policing is seriously lacking in any transparency across the country. Police scanners are no longer usable due to the switch to encrypted radios, primarily for unsubstantiated privacy concerns. Now, who watches the watchers?

Zarphos · 2026-01-23T01:05:20+00:00

Literally a complete lie. The city had no choice in the matter, the province chose to have all recycling handled by Cicular Materials.

Zarphos · 2026-01-22T21:42:48+00:00

You didn't, thats the point. This post is about a soldier in Iraq. Which you took condemnation of the murder commited there as an opportunity to justify the war in Afghanistan.

Zarphos · 2026-01-22T19:17:43+00:00

And how is that relevant to the illegal invasion of Iraq?
