So are Canadian conservative forced now into arguing that the US treating Canada like a bitch/annexation target is still better than just working bilaterally with China?

This isn’t about “narco-terrorism,” fentanyl, gangs, or the 2024 elections. This is about 1998 (Hugo Chávez’s first electoral victory); it’s about 1976 (nationalization of Vnz oil); it’s about 1959; it’s about 1910. It’s about Latin American sovereignty and self-determination.

Consider how bad a memorial has to be for the Canadian government to say you're honoring too many Nazis.
The controversial Victims of Communism memorial in downtown Ottawa will no longer feature the names of specific individuals after federal officials determined a significant number could be linked to the Nazis. ottawacitizen.com/public-ser… via @ottawacitizen

Neither @MarkJCarney nor @AnitaAnandMP have condemned this. It's amazing how little they care about the "rules-based international order" when it means actually having principles.
Canadian ICC Judge Kimberly Prost has told Al Jazeera's @stepvaessen that US sanctions have had a ‘crippling effect’ on her life. She’s one of nine officials sanctioned by the US for trying to prosecute American and Israeli nationals.

A day after promising military strikes on Venezuela to “deter drug traffickers,” Trump announced he’s pardoning the narco-dictator of Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernandez—who’s serving 45 years in prison for working alongside El Chapo to smuggle 400+ tons of cocaine into the US. The announcement was made in a statement that constitutes blatant interference in Honduran elections, which threatens to withhold resources to the country if his preferred (narco-friendly) candidate doesn’t win Sunday.

CTV blindly parrots right-wing "study" that can't be trusted due to its political bent where they openly advocate for "private clinics at lower costs than hospitals" when everyone knows profiteer medicine is far more expensive than publicly funded care. ctvnews.ca/health/article/mo…

America’s GWOT has killed some 5 million people and displaced nearly 40 million. If anything it’s remarkable there isn’t more blowback
DC shooter appears to have been a member of one of Afghanistan's notorious Zero Units, CIA partners frequently accused of serious abuses, who were used in the final days of the US withdrawal to conduct clandestine missions and guard the airport gates and received preferential evacuation for their service.

Associated Press photos from southern Gaza show the scale of destruction, as international calls continue to disarm those resisting the assault, while no demands are made to hold accountable or disarm the side that carried out the bombing.

In the replies people are pointing out, correctly, that the numbers seem low.
From Vincent Bevins's book, The Jakarta Method, Appendix 5. US-backed Anticommunist Extermination Programs, 1945-2000. Indonesia, with 1 million killed, is the crown jewel of US political genocides.

I know people are closely following what's going on the US and the horrors of ICE, but do you know how Canada is quickly and quietly is growing its deportation machinery? Canada plans to increase deportations by 25 percent over the next two years. 25 PERCENT!!!

3. Bill C-12 being pushed through by Carney is a MASS machinery of deportation. It allows Canada to deport refugees without a hearing and grants mass immigration status-cancellation powers to ministers (internal documents suggest targeting people from Punjab, India, Bangladesh)

So, 181 boundaries didn't matter, 194 didn't matter, 242 doesn't apply, the 2024 ceasefire resolution is irrelevant, the annual condemnation who cares, the ICC and ICJ - ignore. But NOW, the UNSC matters!

My previous response is accurate: Mark Carney has never been Prime Minister, so he's appointed zero federal ministers. No overlap exists with Trudeau's cabinet because Carney holds no such role. If you believe otherwise, please share evidence of Carney appointing ministers—I'm here to verify facts, not fabricate them.

the counterrevolution has so thoroughly has done away with any modicum of what was once referred to as leftist politics now stands simulated an Infantile Disorder.. & even this participatory replica long excised from legitimate use of monopolized democracy
After meeting Mark Carney, NDP Leader Don Davies says he didn’t give any specific asks to the PM for things he wants in the budget, saying it’s up to the PM to table something that his party can support #cdnpoli
