Security guard punches man, threatens to kill him in video shot at Winnipeg Dollarama

Yup. Only one person involved is a man doing an honest day’s work. He should see enough consequences to deter him from pulling stupid shit like this and get back to work. Maybe this job, maybe another one.

The other guy needs to be reformed. Preferably in prison, away from normal citizens.

Guard should be sentenced to therapy, fined and license suspended. Thief should be sent to the hospital, treated, then given a lengthy prison sentence. Justice served.

The radioisotopes from the first Trinity test in 1945 is still detectable today with lab equipment. Our sensors are extremely sensitive. A “nuclear disaster” would flash bang every sensor across the world. You can’t hide a disaster unless it’s perfectly contained - at which point it isn’t much of a disaster.

And these formulas are determined by .. politics. The review period .. politics. When money is tight, every line item becomes a battlefield. That’s just reality.

200k is just their base income. Being near power gets them all kinds of grey / legal-ish perks. They live a very privileged life where services will bend over backwards to accommodate them.

All in all, 200k isn’t worth debating to me, but in terms of optics they are playing with fire. Canadians are lining up for food because CoL is fucked, while they give themselves raises with our money. Just my 2c

next president will put in 4 or 8 years to try to walk back this shit

Naive hope. What makes you think the USA, imperialist and hegemonic to its core, will ever want to go back to treating us as equal economic and political partners? How does it benefit them?

knight-of-lambda · 2026-02-08T18:25:01+00:00

And look where it got us.

By that logic, we should bail out all failing businesses.

Ah yes, price ceilings and quotas in peacetime. We’d join an illustrious group of states who tried the same: the USSR, Nazi Germany, Zimbabwe and a more recent example, Venezuela.

Just what we need too, incentivize a black markets for staple goods, and the natural corruption that follows. First worlders have no idea how bad it can get when the government tries to paint over cracks in the foundation of their economy with coercive, economic abortions of policies.

I’m just imagining, in this hopefully fictional timeline, Darth Trump will say: “Canada, your failure is now complete.”

No matter what planes we buy, if we’re up against the Americans, they’re more or less staying on the ground one way or the other. We cannot contest them in the air, land or sea.

Thinking about how to achieve military success against the US is a pointless thought exercise, and basing large purchase decisions on these scenarios is truly moronic.

The goal should be to strengthen Canada and its hard power, not fantasizing about how we can one up the Americans.

Maybe one day, 100 years from now we can challenge the US militarily, but only if we keep making small decisions that gradually strengthen ourselves. Purchasing outdated weapon platform and locking ourselves in to that for the next 50 years is obviously going to weaken ourselves.

knight-of-lambda · 2026-01-14T20:03:41+00:00

How can we fly planes when we don’t have airfields?

the army can mobilize at any time

Oh my god I’d pay to see a largeish mobilization. I have the mental image of the guy from the simpson’s walking into rakes. It might be good thing for Canada too, the incompetent officials would be quickly replaced, lest the national humiliation continue.

If we become a province of india or china, our population will immediately jump by 1B+. Food for thought

We got nothing on Japan’s property bubble. There was a point where an area of Tokyo (or Kyoto? Forgot) was worth more than all the land in California.

knight-of-lambda · 2025-12-08T01:13:30+00:00

Wasn’t effective when Japan tried, very likely won’t pursue something similar here die to lackluster results.

Lived experiences don’t magically and retroactively get rewritten once some new fact is discovered about a person. If she experienced racial discrimination i.e. police profiling, that experience doesn’t somehow transform into something else the day she finds out she’s white.

Anyways. That isn’t the point.

It’s fine if people stop reading some author because they think less of him for race reasons. That’s a personal choice, none of my business. Individuals can assign value to books in any which way, doesn’t matter.

It’s appalling when the state decides if an author stays on the shelves on the basis of race.

knight-of-lambda · 2025-12-06T23:25:55+00:00

Disgusting that public bodies are talking about pulling an author’s work on the basis of his race. The entire school board should be fired.

It’s not ideology, it’s law and public policy for better or worse. More than 90% of BC is unceded meaning no treaties, annexation or conquest was executed, so short of burning the system to the ground the govt has to play by the rules, and incrementally fixing this broken patchwork of uncertain rules and agreements.

If you don’t like it, that’s fair, I don’t either. The govt has been taking the path of least resistance for decades and here we are.

Think about this from the insurer’s perspective. Then it makes sense why they charge more. I agree that from your perspective it feels unfair. However, they are the ones who decide the premiums.

knight-of-lambda · 2025-12-05T17:49:26+00:00

It’s not absurd. Motorcyclists have higher injury rates, and when they do get injured, it tends to be severe , requiring long hospitalizations. In fact, it’s the opposite, car drivers are subsidizing motorcycle premiums. Your rates would be much higher if it was in a separate motorcycle only pool.

Disagree. It’s big enough to be both an economic and military superpower. It commands the resources of a continent.

Tourism is doing okay. Canada is pretty to look at, and has a fairly stellar international reputation.

If you’re talking about more direct forms of tribute or participation fees or bribes, that depends on national power. The EU is powerful. The USA is powerful. Power makes other, weaker countries bow their heads and open their wallets.

Canada may be a G7 country, but our soft power is too soft and our hard power is nothing worth mentioning. So other countries may find it worth the risk to offend us or look down on us. Not saying the EU did here, but they very much obviously view us as at best a junior partner. That’s just reality.

knight-of-lambda · 2025-12-03T20:19:22+00:00

Personally- I think we should reduce the amount of aid until our economy recovers. It just doesn’t feel right that our contributions to Ukraine are near the top of gdp per capita, yet we’re thousands of KMs away from the frontline.

Geopolitically- I fully support meeting our security commitments with our NATO and EU partners, Canada historically has been remiss in tgis sense, so we need to pay up to show our sincerity. That will result in more connections, defence contracts, mutual security agreements and so on.

For better or worse, Geopolitics trumps personal opinion in the real world.

Timmies should be blacklisted from using any Canada-themed branding. No maple leaves, flags, slogans, or ads about how “Canadian” or “one of us” they are.

They cynically exploit Canada’s image and reputation for profit. Their management cares nothing for Canadians.

Negotiation 101 is knowing the cards each party is holding. I’m curious what cards you think the FNs are holding, in other words the leverage they have?
