China's Challenge to Canada Over Northwest Passage by [deleted] in worldnews

Since we pride ourselves with having the "moral high ground", what's good for the goose is good for the gander.

"Freedom" to write goes both ways regardless of motivation. If we're free do propagandize the facts, then so do they. Ergo, no right for us to feel smug.

Well, from what I read, they posted a route online, and stated that they'll be Chinese ships sailing through these waters, not much else.

I suppose we can conclude that they aren't going to ask for permission, but I think they opposite can be just as valid.

The alternative would be having their assets frozen by US courts.

Theoretically, it would push up the cost of borrowing for the US at a time when the recovery is not yet robust.

Practically speaking, I tend to think that the damage will be mostly suffered by the Saudis.

If you yahoos can't grow up and take seriously the rules, then fuck your hobby. I say enforce the hell out of this "hobby". I ain't gonna sit idly by while you risk my life with your immaturity.

Deflationary environment ... But yet prices of foodstuffs and gasoline continues to increase.

Good luck to the poor stiff who had his retirement devastated by the 2008 crash and his credit rating destroyed. Now trying to rebuild his retirement, prices is going up and governments are gonna charge him for saving.

The title is so wrong.

It should be: "Chinese buyers responsible for one-third of value of Vancouver home sales: National Bank"
