This is just vandalism.

How do we protect the welfare state from these vandals? It's like terrorism at this point, we need to be beating them every time but just need to win once to cause catastrophic damage.

Surely there is a way to moderate the capacity of any one government to massively undo the work of decades of building up.

Netanyahu, the wanted by the ICC, is visiting Orban, who for his favour is ripping up Hungary's participation to the treaty of Rome. Israel is aligned with the USA, and now with Hungary and therefore Russia. Even if we ignored that it is itself an apartheid state, accused of genocide at the Hague, Canada has no business with the friends of our enemies.

It's not that obvious to most people. I only came to realize it recently, from Gary Stevenson's explanations.

You know what, let's not let patriotism get in the way of common sense politics. We shouldn't be targeting them just because they back Trump.

We should be targeting them because they are billionaires. That's enough, regardless of who they support.

To quote Bill Burr: ‘These fucking billionaires. They need to be put down. You know, like fucking rabid dogs. They’re rabid with fucking greed and just going out and just dividing everybody.’

Make billionaires millionnaires again.

I am actually furious at Rosemary Barton for not pushing back at the frankly astonishing rhetoric we are getting from Gordon Sondland. Going on Canadian TV and saying that "everything is up for negotiation" when it comes to what Canada is willing to discuss? And Barton just sits there saying "I have no opinion"?! And then saying telling us we should not take him serious because that's Donnie's personality after our own fucking Prime Minister has basically told us the threat of annexation is actually real?? And then talking about forcing us into a customs union or "common passport"?

Sondland was talking down on us, scolding us for taking his shitty president seriously, and Rosemary Burton was just letting him go unchallenged. What is this bullshit?

A Reuters photographer snapped a picture of Trudeau later carrying a House of Commons chair out of the West Block chamber as he winds down his time in government. Under parliamentary rules, an outgoing MP can purchase a replica of their chair in the chamber.

A Carney in charge of the circus (noraloreto.substack.com)
submitted 3 weeks ago by theacharnian@lemmy.ca to c/canada@lemmy.ca

The reality is that the next federal election will not save us, and regardless of what you think of my writing, you certainly know this deep down. Even a Carney reprieve is unlikely to stave off an even more rabid Conservative party in the next election after this one. But if we aren’t clear-eyed about what is happening, then we sure as hell cannot see where we’re going. And to have a banker, a CEO’s man in the office of Prime Minister, it is going to bring with it a world of challenges that near certainly will pave the road for someone worse than Poilievre.

A 2000 percent increase in fentanyl sounds super scary until you realize that what we're really talking about is going from 1 kilo to 21 kilos.

These people might have been alive if we had a ceasefire. But no, Netanyahu's political career is more important.

Germany equating its historic debt to Jewish people with support for a particular state is an absolutely disgusting distortion of the German obligation of remembrance.

Just like this, they throw under the bus any anti-Zionist Jew.

Honestly, when it comes to Israel/Palestine, the German state should just do what their other genocide victim, Namibia, told them to do and Shut. The. Fuck. Up. Stay the fuck out of it. Say the honorable thing that you will abide by the rulings of international courts. Provide humanitarian aid, help refugees and displaced people. Be a ray of light and humanity, not a stickler for rules and definitions. Don't be so goddamn fucking German for a change.

The US is ready to nuke what's left of international law in order to protect a couple of criminals.

That are ready to bring us back to the era of the League of Nations just so that Bibi fucking Netanyahu doesn't go to trial.

Canada, the EU, and a bunch of other Western countries are signatories to the treaty of Rome. What do they have to say about this bullying behaviour of the US government?

The government of France bans protests... I've heard that one before I think. What did the French do after?
