Tensions flared Wednesday between China and the Netherlands after a confrontation between a Dutch frigate and the Chinese navy off the disputed Paracel Islands in the South China Sea.

Senior Captain Zhai Shichen, spokesperson for the Chinese navy's Southern Theater Command, said in a statement that naval and air forces used “necessary measures” — including warnings and electronic jamming — after the HNLMS De Ruyter allegedly “illegally intruded” near the Paracel Islands and launched shipborne helicopters into Chinese airspace.

He also accused the Dutch side of “seriously” undermining stability in the South China Sea and urged it to “immediately stop its infringement and provocative actions.”

As usual, international news agencies are quite a bit late in reporting on developments in Myanmar.

The 15% "TAX" headline is COMPLETE LIE. A misrepresentation - READ THE ARTICLE. It is NOT a TAX but a requirement that streamers spend 15% of Canadian revenue to PURCHASE or CREATE CANADIAN CONTENT. This is a Canadian content law. NOT A TAX.

What do you mean TACO aren't they striking Ukraine daily? TACO are you announcing that Russia and Ukraine are at war?

Art of the deal: make concessions before negotiations.

Huge sigh of relief

While the article stated that the statement was FALSE, It's actually NOT FALSE.

There was no housing minister in Harper’s cabinet at the time. Many housing issues got rolled into Poilievre’s domain under the title of social development. The six houses number stems from non-profit housing built by the government in the 2015-16 fiscal year, when Poiliever had the file. Under Harper, Canada had less social housing per capita than many other countries.

Housing was under PP's portfolio, and PP made it very small.

China and Vietnam are producing a lot of the low cost every day items people use. It's going to hit the lower income people the hardest. Thank goodness I'm in Canada.

They need to fire the leaders of Democratic party. Find new blood and new direction. Swing to the right didn't help them.

What kind of exploitative capitalism do we have in Canada? And how is this allowed? This is utterly ridiculous!

What a piece of shit. And this guy was running US foreign policy? Wow. Saudis must be regretting paying this man $40m a year to manage their billions.

Funny thing is this kind of behaviour isn't unique to Musk. A lot of entrepreneurs and CEOs seem to have similar kind of attitude. They want everything done cheaper faster and there's no 2 ways about it. It's their way or highway. If shit goes to hell it's other people's heads that roll.
