@mario4thenorth@heathrodgirs#JailTime not #Bailouts Lobbyists lobby. Fundraisers fund raise. Government governs and makes policy decisions. The issues are: a) bad economic policy and b) involvement of CCP-linked organized crime and money laundering (per Sam Cooper).
Granular knowledge of how the Vancouver Condo Kings are the major supporters of people like Gregor Robertson, Justin Trudeau and Mark Carney was my past reporting beat. I’m not going back to it, other reporters need to pick that up. Read JWR’s chapter about meeting Trudeau in his friend’s pent house to understand who Carney is bailing out. I can say the Chinese money behind all these Liberals makes the story so much worse than a Liberal bail out of slick developers. This is scandalous and nationally ruinous.
@DrEliDavid@DBalazada Power abhors a vacuum. Violence can create space for better governance, but it can not create good governance. Good govername requires accountability, transparency, rule of law, ethical conduct, togetherness, community, and efficient administration. That is a lot to ask...
@FoodProfessor@loritin40 A transient economic slowdown often follows hard decisions. E.g., after Paul Martin took steps to eliminate the deficit in 1995. Unfortunately, no such thing precipitated this slowdown. Simply, decades of mismanagement left the country enable to deal with a tariff shock.
This woman is slithering around Toronto, tearing down missing person posters for Esti, a 14-year-old autistic girl.
Esti has been missing for nearly two weeks, and this sick individual is out here making it harder to find her. It doesn't matter if this person is targeting her because she’s Jewish or if she’s just a miserable individual, ripping down a poster for a missing child is pure evil.
What kind of failed parents produces a monster like this?
Look at her face. Look closely and help us identify this creature.
While we hunt for her, keep your eyes peeled for Esti (third photo). If you actually want to physically help, get down to 345 Wilson Avenue and volunteer with Shomrim. They’ve been working day and night while people like this woman try to sabotage them.
Help us find Esti and help us find the monster trying to keep her lost.
The first two photos are of the deplorable hate filled woman, and the missing poster is of Esti.
@MelissaMbarki By delaying an election for three years, Gladu locked in $400k of additional value for her pension. Her floor crossing had nothing to do with principles.
@rupasubramanya This is a survey sponsored by a London-based industry organization, GIIA. The methodology is unclear. Mark Carney' former employer, Brookfield Asset Management, is a founding member of GIIA and is represented on the GIIA board. The Globe and Mail is funded by Canadian taxpayers.
@DrJacobsRad I am old enough to remember when Pierre Poilievre was Canada's next Prime Minister. The election is October 26. ProgressTO has plenty of time for its dirty tricks.
@SinoTalk@ianellisjones@IndoPacPodcast@RegineCabato The Canadian information environment is heavily influenced by CCP propaganda in so far as "America bad" stories dominate, and CCP interference, coercion, and malfeasance are never explored. It is done so well that Canadian journalists don't even realize what they are doing.
@TheReclamare@mdubowitz The Star Spangled Banner is a song about that time proto-Canadians shot at Americans and missed them by that much, so it seems fair to sing O Canada. That said, the French O Canada is far superior. "Your values are steeped in faith. We will protect our homes and our rights."
@DrJacobsRad The only thing more insane than Canadians falling for every Liberal manufactured crisis (Syrian refugees, fake graves, vax mandates, Elbows Up) is that Conservatives are never smart enough to call them on it. Rinse, repeat, and Conservatives lose again.
@havivrettiggur@NewSamawal Ben Rhodes lied to journalists about the JCPOA (from the very start) and then bragged about his ability to deceive. He ranks with the most untrustworthy scoundrels in history.
@mdubowitz@VanJones68@havivrettiggur Van Jones lost me when he put forward a completely (and obviously) false origin story of the word "picnic." After that, I had no energy to listen and fact-check everything.
This week was tough. I had dinner with my intelligent friends from European countries, people who have spent half their lives working within the United Nations. We were having a good time until the conversation turned to Donald Trump and Iran. Everyone, without exception, spoke badly of Trump: that he causes problems for everyone, that war is terrible, that it is illegal, and so on.
I stayed silent. When everyone finally became quiet, I asked only one question: who is actually going to collect and remove those more than 400 kilograms of uranium?
My French friend said: Trump is no better than the regime. On top of that, he has started an illegal war, and many countries have nuclear power plants why shouldn’t Iran have them too?
I exploded inside, but I remained silent at first. When I finally broke my silence, I said: was it illegal when the United States helped the French during the Second World War? Was it unnecessary?
Then silence returned.
I kept thinking about how to express everything happening inside me; how to explain the regime to a European-someone surrounded by left-wing ideology, enclosed within indirect forms of censorship, and always ready to say that war is terrible, yet surprised when I say many Iranians wanted it.
How do you explain to people who live in safety that some nations sometimes see outside pressure as the only remaining path when every internal path has been closed? How do you explain that they do not even speak in geopolitical terms, but judge only from a position of moral comfort, while others are speaking about survival?
Europeans who, despite democracy and free internet, still do not know what happened in Iran on January 8–9. Europeans who believe every conflict can be understood through the same moral template. Europeans who condemn all violence in theory, but have never had to live under a Islamic system where violence is part of everyday life.
And I sat there with the feeling that the distance between our realities was greater than the table around which we were sitting…
I’m soooo on board for that! Does this mean that we will finally be allowed to:
1) buy what we want, and from whomever we want and most important, develop and produce what we want even if it competes with American products?
2) win our wars rather than be constantly subjected to arrested development ceasefires?
@rupasubramanya Elbows Up fixed Trump tariffs, just like the carbon tax fixed climate change. Central bankers know that jaw-boning, in combination with dirigiste government policy, is the only answer.
⚠️ URGENT: Saghar & Ghazal Ghodrat
Sisters, medical technicians from Shiraz.
Abducted on January 9 by Islamic regime rapists. Their family was threatened into silence. No information since.
Their lives are in danger. Be their voice.
