That depends on which countries. Foreign aid certainly has the effect of propping up corrupt governments and dictators in third-world countries, and of making their economies dependent on aid rather than self-sufficient, but especially in Africa, cutting off aid does not mean that those countries will become more self sufficient. At least in the short term, it will drive those countries even further into the arms of China, until the Chinese money runs out.
Canadian whiskey is shit, for the record.
The one thing that unites Canadians more than their smug, self-indulgent sense of superiority over Americans is blaming Americans for all of our problems when it blows up in our faces. I'm afraid they're pushing against an open door.
Canada could be a natural resources superpower if our government would stop regulating the industry out of existence. If we invested properly in developing those resources, there would be no trade deficit because we'd be so rich we wouldn't need to nickel-and-dime our allies in order to cover the added costs of our own regulatory framework.
The WEF Liberals will use this to cling to power. Suddenly all the fallout from their economic incompetence and avarice will be Trump's fault, the entire media will gaslight Canadians into forgetting that the economy was already falling apart and Canadians will fall for it.
Not just Japanese media, either.
He's gotta pay off that billion dollars somehow.
They're also the ones who keep telling us to stop eating meat.
Apparently Black Ops 6
To clarify: these figures are for December only: Dec 2024 compared to Dec 2023.
reddit Canada is not the same as real Canada. Most working stiffs I've spoken to up here agree that Trump isn't asking our government to do anything they shouldn't already be doing.
Most people in the industry were already aware that he was a twisted pervert with some very extreme fetishes. And they were all willing to ignore it or, in the case of these women, to go along with it because of the power and influence that he had in the industry.
It's no accident that these allegations have finally hit the mainstream now that the industry is collapsing and there's no more money to be made. I heard Clownfish yesterday say that making these claims after the MeToo ship has already sailed lends credibility to them. No. It's precisely because woke no longer has the power that it did, and people like Gaiman therefor can no longer use it as a weapon, that these allegations have finally hit the normie sphere.
I have no doubt that these women consented to these activities at the time and only started complaining about it when they didn't get the career boost that they wanted from Gaiman. And the reason that various outlets are only writing about it now is because they sensed weakness and now believe they can benefit from forcing Gaiman to give up his share of the increasingly meager profits that can be garnered from the mainstream comics industry.
This appears to be just another case of women retroactively withdrawing consent for things they consented to at the time because they didn't get what they wanted out of it and now they feel icky about it.
This will be spun into "Why controlled burns are bad and a threat to the Environment!. See, Trump? SEE?"
Maxime Bernier isn't perfect, but he's better than Poilievre.
To be clear: €662 = $694. So that's wealthy.
Not after the hit they've taken to their credibility by spending years propping up the most unpopular government in Canadian history.
Even if they do, nothing will change. Poilievre is WEF light. He'll cut immigration in half and it will still be hundreds of thousands of people per year higher than it was before Trudeau.
Canada's only hope is a UK-like situation, where both major parties implode in such quick succession that voters actually start looking for a real alternative.
The mob killed him because he made RFK the AG. Sam Giancana almost certainly played a role in getting JFK elected in the first place by rigging the vote in Chicago. A number of former associates have claimed that he openly declared that he had "his guy" in the White House, and in return he expected JFK to call off his brother. Instead, he put him in charge of the Justice Department and gave him free reign to go after the mob. Giancana was furious.
There's also quite a lot of evidence that certain intelligence agencies had previously worked with Giancana and other mobsters on ways to remove Castro in Cuba. The mob wanted that just as much as the government did, so they could have their casinos back.
GI. Your president based, GI. You should do what he say and stop foreign wars, GI.
Knowles exists as a proxy straw-man for lefties to point at and say "See? Look how stupid conservatives are."
They won't have to compel US social media companies to do anything if they instead compel European ISPs to mandate identity checks every time someone goes online. The minute you engage with any content or make any comment they don't like, they'll know exactly who you are.
Kier Starmer is a perfect psychopath. Not even a sociopath, an actual psychopath.
The stores are not on the hook. Alcohol in Canada is a government monopoly in most provinces, where inventory is ordered by the individual stores from a government-approved list of suppliers, then purchased by the provincial governments, distributed to stores and sold to consumers, restaurants and bars at set prices. Ridiculous prices. The government, and by extension taxpayers, will be on the hook for this idiocy.
