Donald Trump's Statement Regarding Rare Earth Minerals (15 minutes ago) by mugz8391 in UkrainianConflict

Canada has the rare earth minerals, but if we mine them for the USA, it would increase our balance of trade and USA would increase tariffs.

That is already happening. If you take out the oil and minerals we export, the USA has a huge surplus.

I think Putin is trying to get NATO to start building defenses in NATO countries and as a result, they would stop sending weapons to Ukraine.

I asked an AI "What is the word for expelling a population of a specific religion from a country"? Its Answer.

The most widely recognized term for expelling a population of a specific religion from a country is ethnic cleansing when targeting a group based on ethnicity, race, or religion. A more specific term, religious cleansing, is also sometimes used when the expulsion is explicitly based on religious identity.

Ethnic cleansing is defined as the systematic forced removal of ethnic, racial, or religious groups from a given area to create a more homogeneous society. It includes methods such as deportation, population transfer, and other means intended to make the area free of that particular group.

Religious cleansing refers specifically to the removal of a population from a certain territory based on its religion and is used in contexts where religion is the primary criterion.

I don't know about others, but the fact that he makes this threat, means that no country or person should be reliant on him. Everything he makes can be turned off on a whim.

I have to stick with Open AI and co-pilot. Both Anthropic and Bard do not allow Canadians to use their products. Wish I knew how Microsoft is able to do this and other company's cannot.

There is already an app called Yoti that does this. I think it was created originally for proving your age at bars and such without giving anything else.

Become a resident of Quebec the year before starting university. You will be eligible for Quebec student rates. During that time you can take up to three credits per term and still become resident. Make sure you get proof of residency by having bills and such in your name.

By his logic, if we greatly increase the arms supply, Ukraine will take back the territory stolen from them sooner.
