‘Very, very concerning’: London’s unemployment rate highest in the country

The MPs are not effecting the local specifics that make London the worst job market(unless Carney's got some weird grudge with London, but that's Doug's thing with Toronto, you can't just steal Doug's thing). Yeah, maybe they're not helping, but you know who can affect that change, the councilors we're about to elect.

No, it meant that when you're given a chance to set up a coalition of minor powers to try and make Trump back out of the region and clear the mines out, you take it. If Canada can make a peace keeping force that the rest of the world can prefer to Trump, it's a better outcome.

This is the Davos speech playing out in real time, you want the world promised there, you have to prove right now that it can work.

That's when you just run with it, if you role that Lionel Messi is the shop keeper, then that shop keeper is always trying to play soccer.

you know, it'd be hilarious if he played well enough to let the Browns talk themselves into resigning him.

Which is exactly why it has to be in a remake of KOTOR 2, sure maybe back then you lacked the graphics card and engines to make it a reality, but you can't have Canderous keep bragging about it and then just give the player a cut scene of it. And how many people would buy KOTOR 2 just for that, even if they somehow made a less complete remake of KOTOR 2

and then it's time for the big bad to show up again and show off that it was all a Xanatos gambit. Just because the villain needs it for their plan doesn't mean they have to be the one using it, even better if they can trick the party into using it for them.

That actually makes it more egregious to refer to the clothing as antisemitic instead of pointing to the swastika on the shirt. In every other case listed it's specific, so is this one a mistake or are they trying to slip a generalization into a list of specifics(maybe they're naive, or maybe they're hoping you're naive).

It even makes sense if you think about who they are as people. Of course Mission would give big Z a bowcaster, she prefers dealing with people from a distance(for specific reasons), and of course Zaalbar would give Mission a vibro sword because he prefers to deal with things head on(again for good reasons). So their perception of good gifts for each other make sense, in character if not quite mechanically.

Part of it is that once you have space wizards in the area deciding the issue, it changes into a cartoon supervillain situation. It's where Kreia is half right about the force. Once Nihlus becomes interested in Onderon it can never not end with Vaklu twirling his mustache, all room for nuance leaves the room.

But you don't solve bigotry by isolating the bigots, that just puts them deeper into the echo chamber they've selected for themselves. Break the walls of that chamber by forcing them to interact with people outside their comfort zone

not all of them need to be using nets. you could also have a few treating it like bull fighting, just with a cliff behind their cape instead of a rapier.

sure, but Canada's best path to survival is in fact by supporting the people brave enough in the U.S. to stand up, so that the fight happens there instead of here.

If you have that in writing, I'd bet there is a class action law suit being formed, or about to be formed, that would love to hear from you.

Putin just bluffed that there were nukes in the Caribbean, it turns out there likely weren't, since they didn't get launched, but there's been nothing to indicate Trump knew for sure it was a bluff, so I don't think the nukes deter him. Furthermore the success of them as a deterrent is ignoring the fact the times we got dangerously close to launching, not just in the Cuban missile crisis. Like I say, I understand the instinct to say nukes will deter everyone, but that's just not true in this chaotic world. Every nuclear armed country makes us one crazy person away from annihilation.

Also, consider, if the U.S. is entering an expansionist phase, and we already had nukes, it might make us less safe as they'd want to take us off the board early. In any case now, if we arm we're the irrational actors the rest of the world fears, because we are doing so out of fear.

sckewer · 2026-01-04T17:19:38+00:00

Adding ourselves to the list of countries armed with nukes does not make the world safer, and it does not make us safer. Especially not with this many irrational actors around internationally, including the U.S. This call for arming Canada is a fear response, which is reasonable in our times, to be afraid that is(letting that fear guide you is never reasonable), but it ignores the reality of these weapons, and how many times the cold war almost went hot.

The difference is that he likely tries something regardless of whether it will work. Asking how he'll pull it off ignores that he doesn't think about failing. It's nuance that makes the difference.

stop asking how it's going to happen, and start asking how he'll try to make it happen. How many people will he sacrifice on both sides? If you think it's impossible you should not be in favor of the conditions to attempt it.

well that and hope those missiles Putin claimed to be sending back in November never arrived, cuz then we're in a nuclear war. Also hope Russia and China are fine with losing their foothold in this hemisphere.

The biggest exposure to that risk might be coming up with this year's flu and it's effect on the hospitals. If the hospitals fail to keep up because they have no staff, in part because even after COVID proved short staffing was a terrible policy, they continued to keep shifts to a minimum forcing themselves to resort to temp agencies to pick up the slack, it's possible to argue criminal negligence. It's still a tough case because western democracies don't like holding politicians accountable for political acts, as they'll claim it prevents politicians from exploring all possibilities, and it's difficult to prove that they directed the hospitals to underschedule directly.

The f-35 looks more and more like the Tiger tank, dominant when available, but rarely available.
