@mikedmzn@CoopTory Same here - I was 18 and had just moved out for undergrad, and a bank teller mentioned I could open a "TFSA" so I figured why not, a little bit of interest > no interest. Idk how much $ I missed out on before realizing during COVID I could actually get a TFSA that lets me invest.
This clip of some DSA lady rambling about Ukraine in response to a question from David Remnick is so funny. It takes a second to get there but you’ll see the wheels start to come off and then see the the wheel-less car careen off a cliff
@PJforTO@EricDLombardi It's definitely a fair question to ask him, but him explicitly calling it a "policy failure" is a pretty satisfactory answer IMO.
Now being so blunt might cause internal issues with long-term party insiders, but that's a different problem.
@seismaccabee@PrairieCatboy As someone who’s pro free trade, seeing the left (not liberals to be clear) in both Canada and the US get all up in arms about Trump’s tariffs has always been funny to me. They were yelling that free trade was “neoliberalism” a decade ago!
@Lux_Stella_ I was mulling over the idea that a NORAD-esque integrated continental forest fire service would be a great idea, but yea there's 0 chance we'd actually be able to work together to set that up in our current political climate
Really ridiculous. Read this excerpt. Frankly unacceptable and I think there should be foreign pressure against his dismissal if these claims are true:
“But defence industry officials, senior Ukrainian officials, MPs from Zelenskyy’s party and others familiar with the matter have said — some publicly — that Fedorov had been a barrier to interests seeking to profit from Ukraine’s vast wartime defence budget…
Fedorov repeatedly blocked attempts to steer lucrative procurement contracts to favoured companies, which put him at odds with powerful figures inside Ukraine’s political and defence establishment, said people familiar with the situation.”
Canada is designating German manufacturer TKMS as the preferred supplier for our next fleet of submarines.
This will be the largest defence procurement in our nation’s history and it will have enormous, lasting benefits for Canadian industries and workers. Together with our German and Norwegian Allies, we will build at speed and scale to expand our strategic capabilities and defend our sovereignty.
We will build this fleet to build Canada strong.
Vladimir Putin continues his deplorable strikes against civilians and civilian infrastructure with tonight’s missile attacks in Ukraine. We call on Russia to end this illegal war of aggression now. Canada stands with the brave people of Ukraine - tonight, tomorrow and for as long as it takes. #StandWithUkraine
Canada strongly condemns Russia’s launch of large-scale missile and drone attacks on civilian targets in Kyiv tonight.
For more than four years since Russia’s illegal invasion, it has greatly underestimated the courage, determination, and strength of the Ukrainian people — even as Putin’s regime has relentlessly bombed Ukrainian energy infrastructure, schools, hospitals, and homes.
We call on Russia to immediately cease these strikes and end this illegal war of aggression. They prolong human suffering and do nothing to change the fact that Russia will lose this war.
Canada will continue working closely with international partners to secure a just and lasting peace for Ukraine and Europe.
@nikicaga The CFL does exist, but outside of Saskatchewan and Manitoba (where the Roughriders and Blue Bombers genuinely are doing very well for themselves), I'm pretty sure far more Canadians watch the NFL.
@nikicaga They kinda have this with China, where you can play as the Han into Ming into Qing, but it's baffling that they didn't do the same for other cornerstone civs like Rome
NASA is the best of America, what America used to be: professional, science-based, dedicated to excellence, idealistic, and dazzlingly ambitious. May America one day recover its NASA soul.
When the whole world learned about Bucha. About Ukrainians butchered in the streets of Bucha by Russian occupiers. About our people tortured in basements. About those shot on the roads. About adults and children whose bodies were found in graves in Bucha. Everyone saw the horror that Russia and its aggression bring. They saw what Ukraine is really defending itself against.
Today, on the fourth anniversary of Bucha’s liberation from Russian occupiers, we honored the memory of Ukrainians who were killed and tortured there. We remember and will never forget what the enemy did. Every Russian murderer, executioner, and terrorist must be held accountable for every crime against our people.
Blessed be the memory of everyone whose lives were taken by Russia – to all who were killed in Bucha and across Ukraine at the hands of Russian occupiers.
Ukranians are an occupied people Hasan refuses to talk to or learn from. He's had 4 years to learn. He still tells a fairytale about an early offramp for the invasion that would have been great for Ukraine, while never mentioning that it would have included Ukraine's disarmament.
