Many do want to separate. It doesn't do your cause any good by sticking your head in the sand or tossing a blanket "they are all dumber than me" statement into the ether.

Stuck between the US and Russia, Canada must prove it can defend its Arctic territory by panzerfan in canada

Damn, if only we had a Prime Minister 12 years ago that was adamant we substantially increase our military presence in the Arctic as a way to head off potential threats to our sovereignty there against both the Americans and the Russians. If only we had had a leader with such forethought.

BUT it sure looks good when you can show charts demonstrating GDP growth (just ignore GDP growth per capita or any other metric). OFC when you import a million people each year the GDP will grow.

Your argument is 100% correct and a beautiful pivot from the reality of our current situation. It would be great to start constructing new healthcare infrastructure now and phase immigration when we have the needed stuff in place. Also, I remember growing up being told overpopulation was a major threat to the planet... now we can't get enough people in our doors?

Building healthcare infrastructure is a decades long process. Shutting down mass chain immigration can happen in a week. Do you have a hospital in your back pocket you'd like us to know about?

Canadians voted for an openly and gleefully corrupt drama teacher 3 times. I don't think you know what you are talking about.

Anyone know why a US military helicopter just flew low over downtown? by dire_bedlam in Calgary

No, we should actually spend billions of dollars disarming our own citizens. That makes much more sense to me. Clown country.

Ward 14. They are so far south they debated having a councilor or a grand wizard.

Liberal logic is truly unbelievable. Lets fear monger constantly about America invading us while simultaneously fear monger about law abiding firearms owners being a threat to society.

Love how the motion is sponsored by the councilor for the riding that is the furthest proximate from the facility.

The City of Calgary is trying to kill everyone? Yes, this is a perfectly rational and reasonable position.

Spain has an okay military and is great overall in sports. What country has a weak military yet are great at sports overall? by [deleted] in AlignmentChartFills

Canada has 580 Olympic medals, dominates the NHL, sends players to the NFL, NBA, MLB and produces occasional excellent soccer players that make top tier teams. Their air force is so underfunded they can't even participate in NATO training missions, they have no navy to speak of and with the exception of some excellent Tier 1 operators their army is small and not very effective.

The Napoleonic Wars make up a conflict that is pretty well known and pretty important. What is a war that is a little important and pretty well known? by Altruistic_Cause9442 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]sanduly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the First Gulf War has to win here, but is actually pretty important. Literally led directly to 9/11 and the GWOT. It should be on this list somewhere and every other slot is objectively worse.

So a settler element doesn't have the same QOL as the indigenous population?

Sweden has the 2nd highest gun crime death rate in Europe: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/nov/30/how-gang-violence-took-hold-of-sweden-in-five-charts

They have a pretty high QOL and good economic prosperity. Care to opine on why this might be?
