You forgot: Now he is shooting you down in the streets with a secret police goon squad, and you say very little…

Let’s hurry up and get those BYD plants up and running in Canada.

The future is here, no matter how hard the US tries to drag us back to the past.

They must pounce as otherwise they’d have nothing.

β€œNobody could have predicted” that war with a nation that controls the Strait of Hormuz would affect gas prices… at least, nobody in THIS badministration.

β€œUncorroborated” does a lot of heavy lifting in this headline

No doubt, if we follow the playbook, Iran will be accused of hiding munitions in girls’ schools, hospitals, old folks homes and humanitarian agencies.

America! Fuck yeah!

Something like that I think.

King Lear is like a hallucination
Hamlet is like psychotherapy
Julius Caesar is like something I had to take in high school…

If a Canadian F-18 could intercept a missile headed to Oman or Bahrain or UAE, that would be something I wouldn’t β€œrule out” either.

But any further involvement than that would be a betrayal of Canadian values.

If a Canadian F-18 had the chance to shoot down an Iranian missile headed to Bahrain, okay.

Beyond that, there should be zero Canadian involvement in this illegal war of choice.

St Catherine St Montreal, March 4, 1971

Covered in snow; not a car in sight

Storm of the Century - Montreal, March 4, 1971.

I remember walking from NDG to Atwater on Sherbrooke Street amidst cars that were simply unable to proceed as the snow gathered around them…

Why am I reminded of all the β€œgood Germans” who helped Hitler to power and then regretted their actions?

On the other hand, Putzi Hanfstangl could really play Wagner on the piano….

We need constant reminders of why we must boycott everything US.

This dipshit provides a valuable service. Let him keep shooting off his mouth.

I’m surprised that you’d confuse the issue with facts…

With the exception of the years 2014 and 2022 to present, Russia condemns any attempt to change borders by force and attacks on civilian populations as obvious war crimes.

Why doesn’t the international order do anything to punish such lawlessness?

04.03.2026 15:01 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Absolutely. Uncritically accepting any claim by Israel - and the US - is not very prudent.

I had two ideas:

Magnetic necklace to ward off COVID (comes with free dose of invermectin)
β€œExperts say this doesn’t work - what are they hiding?”

And $49.99 vials of β€œLiberal Tears.”

You’re welcome.

The obscene wealth of the very few; the snatching of people off the streets by anonymous kidnapping squads, disappearing people into the modern equivalent of β€œnacht und nebel”; the blatant disregard of law and established norms; the cynical and obvious falsehoods

It’s quite a pickle.

The US has gone from β€œA day that will live in infamy” to β€œHey, that seems a good idea” in a relatively short period of time…

Fair enough - but we are not alone in the world.

None of our NATO allies have condemned this attack.

How goes the familiar saying, β€œDon’t interfere with your enemy when they’re making a mistake?”

I agree: his statement was weak sauce considering that the US action is illegal under both domestic and international law.

Disappointing.

On the other hand, let’s pick our fights and only join those we can win.

Billions given to Ukraine to help them in a war characterized by the murder of Ukrainian civilians by Iranian Shahed drones; if we truly support Ukraine, should we condemn the attack on a regime which has contributed to the death of so many Ukrainians?

At the very least, this further isolates Putin

How should a friend of Ukraine feel about this?

Every night, Ukrainian civilians are subjected to terror bombardment by Iranian-designed drones. Iran is Russia’s ally.

How do we both support Ukraine and condemn an attack on a country that has significantly contributed to the murder of Ukrainians?
