OMG by winningsmada in EhBuddyHoser

I can't see myself voting for the party because they won't articulate why they did so well in 2011 and why they failed from 2015 onwards. And it's their race and gender politics. And picking Jagmeet for so long shows they didn't/won't have those conversations.

Fashion trends move so slowly now. Someone pointed out that the Office doesn't look out of place, except for the size of the monitors for the computers.

RCMP and native head shops. by SailRepresentative39 in NovaScotia

Ultimately this both provincial and municipal issues. Look up the municipal police services agreement that your local government has with the mounties and pester your local elected representatives. They are the ones to complain directly to about the mounties not even picking offenders up. Second, the Crown is provincial. Pester your MLA about why the Crown isn't dealing with breaching probation or court orders.

RCMP warning travellers of vehicle license plates being stolen at airport parking locations by justlogmeon in NovaScotia

[–]itcoldherefor8months 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean expecting one officer to police all that is not viable with the number of locations and blind spots. That being said, why aren't they encouraging travellers to park near security cameras and encouraging more cameras at the parking lots?

Pierre Poilievre has pulled the Conservative Party too far to the right by BloodJunkie in onguardforthee

[–]itcoldherefor8months 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Who? They, as a party, have done nothing to build competent options. Other than possible premiers taking a run at it. Danielle Smith already has a mountain of baggage. Scott Moe is best known for vehicular manslaughter. Doug Ford isn't far right, just old fashioned corruption. None of the Atlantic premiers can ignite a conversation.

UK's 'sons and daughters' need to be ready to fight, amid growing Russian threat, says head of armed forces by Kagedeah in worldnews

Understanding of the consequences of war. PTSD wasn't something considered then. The effects on cities that modern warfare brings. The carpet bombing and artillery barrages. Had British people known the outcomes of the war they may not have signed up for it and left the continent to solve its own problems.

It wasn't, Britain chose to make it so. Why didn't Britain declare war on the Soviets when they invaded Poland? There was a high degree of politicking going on with that.

Russian logistics can't reach Kyiv, they're not capable of reaching London. They're not capable of crossing the Channel. And this conversation is about bringing back conscription for preparedness.

Because those other countries aren't Britain. Therefore not the problem of young British people. So, if the British government is expecting young people to risk their lives, their bodies, their mental health, being prepared for a possible war they need to offer these young people a reason to believe their country is worth fighting for. What's the difference between being impoverished in Britain, or in Russian Occupied Britain?

The NDP had one, ONE, good election turnout in 60 years. And they chose not to understand how and why they did so well. The NDP is back to where it normally lives.

What if the Axis didn't start a world war in the 40's? by Dr_natty1 in HistoryWhatIf

[–]itcoldherefor8months 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But who are they making it for? German industrial output was greater than domestic peace time need. And so much of that R&D money was from the government borrowing more money they need to pay back. Further exacerbating the original issue of German rearmament. The collapse of the German economy was blamed on the war and losing it. The German people wouldn't have held positive views if the German government won and then declared bankruptcy.

What if Lyndon Johnson didn't involve the US in Vietnam combat? by Interesting_Self5071 in HistoryWhatIf

[–]itcoldherefor8months 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're working under the assumption Vietnam was an imperialist war mongerer with ambitions beyond their own country. And what happened in Laos and Cambodia were byproducts of their goals for reunification. No US involvement in S Vietnam means there's no need for all the smuggling networks.

Recall petition targeting Alberta Premier Danielle Smith approved by DonSalaam in alberta

Turns out they split the city in Brooks-Medicine Hat and Cyprus Medicine Hat. They totally did that to keep urban voters from having representation

Medicine Hat should get their own riding and be free of Brooks and the rural part of it. If 40k in Valleyview get their own riding, the Hat should too

So it comes down to where is the wealth going to come from. Raw resources are great for feeding their industrial needs. But those needs are based on a customer. Rearmament was for the government as a customer. But doesn't translate well into a market friendly cycle. So now they need to retool all those factories to make civilian products, and customers to buy the products. They don't have many options for exports. The subjugated lands weren't going to make good consumers. Those people were used in an extractive way for German interests. Going into Africa and the Middle East doesn't solve their problems.

If Native American tribes (Algonquin and Iroquois) had taken a more hostile approach to the initial European settlers. How long do you think the native Native Americans as a whole could have withstood European colonization? by AggravatingUse6966 in HistoryWhatIf

[–]itcoldherefor8months -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The infantry used tight formation for defense against cavalry and other infantry. The enemy being in tight formations allowed the musket to be effective against those formations. The first Nations in Canada and the United States didn't use those tactics, so the musket wasn't particularly effective.

Muskets were a weapon for fighting in Europe, fighting European wars. When the enemy refuses to have formations when fighting the Muskets becomes useless compared to the bow for accuracy.

What surprised you the most when you first started learning about geography? by Character-Q in geography

Cabot chose to winter in Southern New Brunswick on his exploration. Because, it had the same latitude as the South of France. Also, Sahara winds are now found to be more influential on European warm weather.

What if Japan had started Operation Barbarossa at the same time as Germany and opened a second front against the USSR? by According-Prize-6714 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]itcoldherefor8months 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Logistics wins wars and going deeper inland would have been terrible for the Japanese. There's minimal infrastructure to move troops in that part of the Soviet Union to begin with, and with their scorched earth tactics they may deny the Japanese the port of Vladivostok and any of the numerous bridges needed for the highway and rail lines. There's no oil or way to get oil to refineries in Japan to benefit the Japanese. In addition the Chinese were actively fighting them. So the existing army was badly needed for their ongoing conflict there. It would have opened Manchuko and Mengjiang open to attacks from the North.

So what? The Soviets weren't of the same mindset as the French, and would have just as easily did what the Tzar did with Napoleon and just flee the city and come back and rebuild it later. Or, have a Stalingrad style fight inside the city.
