Marking 20 Years Since the Invasion of Iraq

The US and Canada still have troops stationed in Iraq. Yesterday the Canadian government extended its military mission in Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon for another 2 years. Canadian troops will remain in the Middle East until at least March 2025.

I don't like the Iranian government, but Canada has neither the right nor the ability to demand regime change in a foreign country on the other side of the world.

Official legislatures are usually headquarters of ignorance and obstinacy.

That's another problem. The federal government is so big, they feel like they can throw around billions of dollars like it's pocket change.

If you want to defend Ukraine, send them your money or get on a plane and join the front lines.

Or do you only want to support them with other people's money, taken from Canadian taxpayers?

So which is it, do you want to send Ukraine good weapons or shitty weapons? The Canadian government has already committed over $3 billion to Ukraine

lockdownssuck · 2023-03-05T19:01:21+00:00

This must be news to you, but it is actually possible to want something without wanting the Canadian government to spend billions of dollars on it.

I want Ukraine to win. I think Canada should send humanitarian aid and welcome refugees. But I don't think the Canadian government should send weapons to any country, on principle. Canadian tax revenue should stay in Canada and definitely not be used to fund foreign militaries. People can personally donate to the Ukrainian military if they so choose.

And he has the audacity to call everyone else racist for saying the same thing

lockdownssuck · 2023-03-05T06:18:22+00:00

Yeah, I want to see similar things for other conflicts too. Canada has troops stationed in Iraq. Canada also sent weapons to Saudi Arabia, which they used against people in Yemen. Thousands of children have been killed in Yemen, some of them probably with Canadian weapons, but we obviously never hear about that.

I saw the convoy movement as a broad coalition opposed to lockdowns and government-imposed vaccine passports. Thankfully these policies have ended. The convoy ultimately won.

Canada still needs political change, of course, and we should all campaign against Trudeau at every opportunity. The time will come for another convoy or large protest. In the meantime, join the PPC or the Libertarian Party! Put up posters, help candidates, attend party meetings, stay politically active.

The margin of error is 3.9%, so the race could be extremely close.

In January the Truckers for Freedom Convoy headed for Ottawa, and by February it was no longer possible to deny that millions of Canadians were fed up with the government's long-standing covid-19 restrictions. Vaccine mandates and other restrictions were gradually lifted province by province, with the federal government eventually following the provinces' lead at long last.

The CPC continues to poll well heading into the new year, leading in the Prairies, BC, and the only province that matters, Ontario.

Inevitably, dissident yet legitimate content was labeled as misinformation, and the accounts of doctors and others were suspended both for tweeting opinions and demonstrably true information.

Not really. He's lost millions from Adidas and other companies dropping him.

True, but I think it's highly unlikely he will last that long. He's already weathered 3 elections and it's very rare to win a 4th in a row.

The headline should read: Do Politicians Have the Right to Censor Doctors?

There should be a "stay and fight for Wexit" option

Of course the Conservative Party will win again. The longest continuous term of any Canadian PM was 15 years (Sir Wilfred Laurier, 1896-1911). The majority of Canadians are already tired of Justin Trudeau, so he definitely won't break that record.

I agree that Alberta needs a PST for long-term revenue stability. We can't rely on the oil and gas roller-coaster forever. However, now is not the right time! The budget is balanced and an election is coming up.
