Anyway, we can mock the leafs some more before that
Canada is never in a position to go to war. Until we do. Then we build up a military machine that punches above it's weight, and immediately discard it.
They are acts of war. Canada does not generally declare war, we go when others go (Afghanistan in 01/02 for example) or when the commonwealth calls for us (World Wars for example). Otherwise we generally enter conflicts as peacekeepers or support. We do not have a military ready to fight on a dime.
That said, when we do go to war we provide some fierce, effective soldiers in addition to nightmare-inducing special forces. There's also the running (somewhat true) joke that we consider the Geneva Conventions to be a checklist. Canadians have been known historically to do fricked up things to bad people so.
Yea, the world trembles in fear of Canada's surprise army
The military machine Canada builds up is never capable of any force projection though, it can punch above it's weight because they're always a small part of a larger alliance that takes care of logistics for them. What's Canada supposed to do to Iran if NATO doesn't want a war with Iran?
You're a huge country, just have a normal army?
Your neighbor just elected a maniac who hates Iran more than anything. If Canada decided on war, America would join immediately.
Or you could whine at America until your problems go away I guess

Farmers have not "hoarded land"
— Steven Barrett (@SBarrettBar) November 17, 2024
They have farmed it, for generations - without going bust (which is hard) and producing food (which is harder)
'Intellectuals' on the left who mess with farming, always cause a famine

Through intrepid investigation I have uncovered a horrifying and underreported part of rdrama.net's top poster's character. @peepeefeet IS newsmisic. Don't believe me? Well it is with a heavy heart that I present
the evidence:
ALL 3 (three!) news holes blocked.
Marsey news network - Blocked
Marsey mews network -Blocked
Maxn n relaxn - BLOCKED (I'm not even sure if this is a news hole!! He just blocked it assuming that it is showing the truly pernicious nature of his newsmissia!!!)
@peepeefeet has declined to comment (though, admittedly, I haven't contacted him regarding this)
I don't want readers to misconstrue this as a cancellation attempt and downmarsey any comments he may make on this post. This is simply a public service announcement and a plea that @peepeefeet DO BETTER!!!
Is this newsmissiac really who we want as our top poster of the day???

I genuinely don't know what else they're supposed to do. People flat out don't care about climate change despite the fact that we're already seeing the effects.
That's why the they are taking extreme measures, what good is preserving history if we're all dead because the transatlantic conveyor stops, the ice caps melt, and the honeybees die.
Protesters have been doing shit for decades, nobody cared until they started getting violent. As Donald Trump proved, sometimes the only way to win is to piss people off
Just to play devils advocate here, in their view all our historical monuments aren't going to mean shit if human life can't survive on the planet. So some paint on a rock isn't really a big deal in the bigger picture.
The Stonehenge site is about to be irritably damaged and no one really cares. They're going to dig a tunnel and put a road under it, destroying untold amounts of ancient history. This will also add more lanes, which will fuel climate change. It will also mean there is no legal way to view the site for free, history will be turned into a ticketed location, while anything we could learn will be destroyed or damaged.
The paint will wash off in a few days, the tunnel and increased CO2 cannot be undone.
That project was cancelled this year, and assaulting a World Heritage site to make a statement is the dumbest thing anyone has ever done on this planet full of stupid people doing stupid things, so bravo.
These people really are the worst. Defacing ancient monuments is something evil people do.
And oil companies knowingly causing global destruction are grand are they? Give your head a wobble
Just curious what happens to anyone responsible for the massive oil spills all around the world.

In choosing to self-experiment, Halassy joins a long line of scientists who have participated in this under-the-radar, stigmatized and ethically fraught practice. "It took a brave editor to publish the report," says Halassy.

Former Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte stunned a senate hearing on Monday when he admitted having a "death squad" to help carry out his deadly war on drugs for over a decade during his tenure as mayor of Davao City.
Appearing before the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee for the first time, the 79-year-old confessed: "I had a death squad. This was a death squad but I didn't use the police. I used gangsters. One gangster, I would order him – 'Kill this person, because if you do not, I will kill you now.'"
The admission came five hours into a nine hour-long probe investigating allegations of extrajudicial killings during Duterte's presidency, particularly under the controversial "Operation Tokhang" anti-drug campaign. Police put the official death toll of the operation at just over 6,000 deaths but human rights advocates argue the actual number is more than four times higher.
!pinoypride !asians I'm beginning to think the human rights orgs might have been onto something.

This year, Egyptian fresh grape exporters not only matched the success of the previous season but also set a new sales record for their products to EU countries
Egypt exported a record 70,000 tons of fresh grapes to the EU, and this year, that figure could reach 75,000 tons
