@TheChaosWeeber I saw my entire work force replaced by international students. The decline of our productiviy per worker was so bad I saw us lose multiple contracts. The sole reason being internationals would work for nothing, depressing wages leading to more domestic labor to leave. Repeat.
@DarkMar23104835@TheChaosWeeber No, but you should ask yourself why Canada why is engaged in Oparation Reassurance in Latvia.
The 2600 Troops and 5 CF-18 fighters aren't just their for a vacation. After 2014, and 2022, Baltic states have real concern from an invasion. Look up how the USSR originally took them
Someone has left this note - and this lighter! - at the Halifax grave of Maj.-Gen. Robert Ross, the British military man who burned down the White House.
NEW: Russian President Vladimir Putin reiterated Russia’s unwillingness to make any meaningful compromises in the peace negotiations process to end the war in Ukraine. Putin is instead doubling down on the fictional battlefield situation that he defines as “reality” and insisting that his misrepresentation of the actual state of the war become the basis for any peace negotiations on Ukraine. Key Takeaways ⬇️
The lies and distortions of Russian military commanders at many levels are likely leading Putin to harden his perception that Russian forces can achieve his intended objectives in Donetsk Oblast by the end of 2026 and thus that he need not make any compromises in his aims.
Russia is failing to achieve its battlefield objectives in reality, however, and is specifically failing in its priority objective of seizing the remainder of Donetsk Oblast by the end of 2026.
Russian forces will not seize Donetsk Oblast until 2032 at their current rate of advance — if they can seize it at all.
ISW is not prepared to assess that Russian forces will be able to take the rest of Donetsk Oblast on any timeline, however.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with US Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff and former Senior Advisor to the US President Jared Kushner in Kyiv City on September 6 and agreed on fundamental principles for ending the war in Ukraine, including security and economic guarantees for post-war Ukraine.
Putin’s demands transcend Donbas, as both his 2024 speech (to which Russian officials constantly allude) and Russia’s military operations demonstrate.
Ukrainian forces continued their long-range strike campaign against Russian oil infrastructure and the suppression and destruction of enemy air defenses (SEAD/DEAD) campaign in Rostov Oblast on the night of September 5 to 6.
Ukrainian forces have reportedly cut off the Russian salient near Lyman and driven Russian troops back toward the Zherebets River near Nevske and Makiivka, broadly restoring the front line to its May 2025 position.
This timelapse tracks Ukraine’s counteroffensive from May 22 to September 5, liberating 200km2.
@The_Davos_Man Canada is ready to take its place as the global hegemony and leaders of the free world.
We will allow some Americans to take refuge in our Great White North. But they first need to go through the re-education/filtration camps. /s
@EvanChamp519@TheChaosWeeber We can be proud of both. But the Ensign was our colonial flag. We aren't a colony.
The new flag represents our sovereignty and separation from the UK.
Did you know during the suez crisis the union jack on the Ensign made Egyptian troops keep thinking Canadians were Brits.
@TheChaosWeeber So I have heard enough anecdotes about East Germany from west Germans and others. East Germany didn't progress socially the same way the west did. You can also see this in post soviet states, where people are not necessarily more racist, but rasicim was definitely more acceptable
@AxmLoL@explicitacumen@VanCityVice They picked up wet floor signs and used them as weapons. They could actually get charged criminally for that and lose their license.
@AxmLoL@explicitacumen@VanCityVice This is why bouncers at bars are allowed to throw people out by force. But most companies don't want gaurds to be physical because sometimes if you do everything right you can still get sued by someone who knows they won't win. The cases usually settle out of court, its cheaper.
@GCSeiler@VanCityVice I worked 8 years as Security in the lower mainland. These guys are going to get shitcanned. The amount of liability they just under took for there company is bad. Also sidenote I have had interactions with that said black guy. I'm pretty sure he is untreated schizophrenia.
