@RayburnBev News Flash - nothing has been done to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon! In fact, the war started by Israel and USA has given the Iranians more money and a clear reason to accelerate nuclear fission and research. Thanks to Bibi and Trump, Iran will now move there.
@TheMaineWonk America's democratic will has been expressed. Two election victories, the American people should have known better. They did not. So now they reap the bitter harvest of ignorance, lack of education, red neck thinking, American Firsters.
@christoaivalis What is it the Mark Twain suggestion to keep you mouth shut so people do not have living proof that you are a real fool. Better to keep your mouth shut so people cannot come to that irresistible conclusion. A high school civics student could have come up with a smarter statement.
@peterdaou Remember that Rice presided over the fake red line on chemical weapons use by Bashar al-Assad. They threatened then moved away costing many Syrians their lives.
@harryjsisson Sounds fair given you and Israel began the war and attempted regime change through savage violence. With these terms, I wonder why the Carney government is waiting to renegotiate CUSMA. From the Iran experienced, Cda could make some incredible gains.
@boissoal Étudier à l'étranger ainsi que la présence des étudiants étrangers au Québec augmentent notre prospérit��. Ils ont un impact positif sur nos étudiants en leur familiarisant avec d'autres langues et cultures. Étudier à l'étranger est bon pour notre économie + le commerce extérieur.
@ToulasTake Où est la faute? À qui la faute? notre système éducatif n'est pas assez international. Ce type de confusion devrait être élucidée avant le Cégep. Cependant nos gouvernements trouvent leur compte en gardant le peuple mal informé. Ainsi ils sont plus facile à manipuler.
@chiky_handlr The IRA had a name for people like Carney in Ireland. Those who sought to curry the favour of the British occupier. Is this what he takes away from his Irish heritage? To be a party favour, an elf or a selfless slave to Uncle Sam?
@Martina Bibi is creating the problem of anti-semitism in the diaspora by his actions in Palestine. Do not ask Western governments to step in whey you in Israel commit genocide and then wonder why there is so much blow back around the world. Stop whining. End the genocide.
PROTEST 📍Negev Fundraising Dinner
Monday, June 22 530pm
‘Hamilton’ ON
“Friends of the JNF” (JNF as in revoked charity caught funnelling $$ to illegal settlements, war crimes and lots more) is hosting a fundraising dinner again
Please join, spread awareness. The awareness and pressure built over the years caused JNF’s revocation effectively removing millions to ‘Israel’s crimes overnight (material impact) and shutting down their “charitable” activities (more material impact, structural impact); effectively challenging certain narratives about protests being ineffective
@ for details as they become confirmed or if questions (not an organizer but will have info)
@nationalpost More disinformation. Are there no journalists who work at the National Post? Journalism is a profession not some partisan political hack goon job.
@sarobertson_ Carney got caught currying the favour of the idiot in the Oval Office. Carney underestimates the weight of the people and when they will strike. Perhaps even before November. Carney's political judgement is reflecting banker consciousness. A dangerous failing in Cdn politics.
@Mikeggibbs It was a stupid move on his part. He looks like an outlier compared to his usual European company. The deal stinks. Everyone suspected it would be weeks ago. Carney's political judgement is broken. Same problem when he came to Plains of Abraham spouting harmony amongst nations.
@PSSAR This is devoid of any cogent strategy for success. Either the PSSAR leaders love looking at themselves in the mirror or they are simply incompetent to deal with the political system in Canada. Talk does not help these students nor do lame hopes+ critiques of govt departments.
@rolandparis Carney has to make a decision. Either he is a one man pleasing crew for Donald Trump in an effort to get a questionable trade deal or he is the Davos speech person with high intellectual and ethical goals. For now he is in the former moule.
@TorontoStar It is his political bedfellows that inspire doubt and suspicion. Change them and public views will change over time. Keep Trump and MAGA close is a recipe for future disaster et falling prosperity.
