If it’s a war crime to target non-combatants, then Hezbollah is already committing the war crimes with their rocket attacks on Israel. So is using human shields.
If your enemy isn’t following the “rules” why should you be required to do so?
“Lebanese militant group”
Should be read as “Iran armed and equipped militant group that just happens to be in Lebanon”
That’s the point, no?
You can get eggs from Salmonella vaccinated chickens, it’s just not the norm in north America.
In this case, the context was that there was a threat being made, that voters could be materially harmed by the Chinese government if they did not vote a particular way. This is something that China has a history of actually following through on, so it’s obvious that people took it seriously. I don’t really have a problem with someone voicing their own individual opinion.
To keep things simple though, probably all social media comments made by someone who is not in Canada related to Canadian politics should not be visible while in Canada. Canadians should be allowed to talk to each other freely. If Canadians want to see how Americans are feeling about our election, they should have to seek that information out from News Outlets, Pollsters, or even just directly talking to someone rather than it just showing up in some random feed on Facebook.
We regulate social media content all the time. Why would this be any different?
Having foreign countries or foreign people pressure Canadian citizens in any way to vote a particular way.
Sounds like we need a new law then.
“I do my own thinking” -Conservatives
Effectively yes. Unless a city can prove it has enough shelter spots for everyone public camping in parks is legal. This was according to the supreme court of Canada.
The city has some control over which parks, but if they try to block them all or make the restrictions unreasonable then they will challenged in court.
Every single thing you just pinned on the Liberals or suggested we do was done or attempted by the Conservative government and the UK is just as bad as Canada is right now.
Unfortunately, no party in Canada is suggesting the policies changes that would actually fix any of these issues. So despite the likely Conservative win next year, we’ll still be worse off in 2029 than we are today. Plus we’ll have regressed socially into permitting hate of certain groups again.
yay!
His job is to govern, not run for election. Politics usually refers more the latter than the former.
Everyone should get off X, I stopped using it the moment that Muskrat bought it. It wasn’t great before, but it’s turned into an absolute dumpster fire now.
The goal for the political parties is to just get into power temporarily in order to further your own career.
Just to be clear, to get to the definition of affordable (3 times medium family income) most detached homes in cities would need to lose 80-90% of their value.
That has never been the goal, it’s not the goal of ANY of the major political parties because it would be political suicide.
For housing to be affordable, current house prices would have to drop significantly, which would means loses in the hundreds of thousands of dollars for most home owners, and 65% of the current residential properties are owned by the family that live in them (the majority of voters)
People want change, even if it’s worse for them than the current government.
Hope springs eternal, I wonder if it will take them 4 years, or 8 years to figure out that they want change again…
Counting by units biases you towards junk that isn’t bought by the first world because it’s bad.
My winter range on a highway with heat on is around 385, which is the sticker value when I bought it.
My summer range is almost 500.
It’s a lot more than people think.
Oh right, all the sanctions and prosecutions against Iran are working so well.
The rest of the world has picked sides, and there are major players on both sides, so nothing can happen.
