The "LOLCANADA" thread...again

I am not sure whom I hate as hate is strong word but yes I do hate Trudeau he may have significantly destroyed Canada and its reputation in the world.

Is this a current ruling ? I remember this case a few years ago . NO spa should be required to give a bikini wax to a man

Agreed but you can discuss why it happened and how it should be handled

Why is Ukraine more important than Sudan or Yemen ?

Because the EU doesn't share a border with Sudan or Yemen, because Sudan and Yemen don't matter for worldwide food markets, nor for energy, nor for fertilizers, nor for steel, and because in Sudan and Yemen they aren't facing a nuclear enemy of the west attempting to increase it's territory.

Basically for a long list of rational reasons which rightwing people normally get, it's not about "oh uh poor people in Ukraine" the leftist way, it's about, we in the west personally gain if it doesn't become Russian and we personally gain of Putin (or anyone like him) never again tries something like this in out backyard.

Btw I do agree that for rational selfish reasons the EU should spend more than USA & Canada for Ukraine because it matters more for us than for you guys.

But if you account for the massive cost we face every month to host the millions of Ukrainian refugees we are in fact spending a lot, even if looking at military aid alone would make it appear we aren't doing our part

Yes but from my understanding the US 60 Billion is not subject to oversight and not all that money goes to weapons .

Well when Trump wins he will have it settled on 24 hours 😀

So Russia invade Crimea and despite your answer of aweak respond of obama u have nothing else ?

So thx to agree Putin invade Ukraine previously for not much reason caused by the US and confirming if u let Putin do what he wants he will repeat another expansion like he just did right now !!

Btw , bigger/ powerful russsia is a negative EV for the US .
Canada is highly interwoven economically with the US .
can u do the last math equation on how it can affected Canada ?

Again incredible u side and don’t care about Russia do .
It’s like you are a 30 years old that have no knowledge of the 1970-80s ….

Yes and them partnering with China and North Korea is a good thing

That is the fear monger military complex excuse Putin's not gonna stop. Putin will not touch a NATO country as he knows the outcome

Most of the 60 billions go to american companies

if u think u know more with your "narrative military complex war mongering then all the countries that borders russia and do evrything in their power to join nato last minute because of their personal experience with putin for the past 25 years.
its fine.

keep believe like uke said earlier, russian disinformation shrug.
when you are a point when u belive more your ennemies then all your firends and allies the past 50-70 years there isnt much else to say.

On a different topic big Bi- election Monday in Toronto. Liberals can not afford to lose this seat or should I say Justin may be in trouble if they lose the seat

lozen : yes this is a new case, which occurred in Ontario. You are probably thinking of the Jessica Yaniv cases. However in this new case there is some dispute over what was to be waxed. The applicant claims they only wanted their legs to be waxed.

The Canadian government should really stop giving military aid to Ukraine. All we are doing is making things worse for the Ukranian people, by prolonging a pointless conflict, and at considerable expense to the taxpayer.

I’m surprise, with these takes u have on many topics , you value the freedom for the people and against dictatorship to be so low ….

If you really value freedom for the people and oppose dictatorship, you should go over to Ukraine and fight. I hear the Ukranian army is recruiting. Or donate your own money. Show how much you really care, instead of virtue signalling over the internet. But extorting the Canadian taxpayer for the dubious merit of propping up the crumbling Zelensky regime, this I cannot support.

I’m generally a pacifist. But it is hard to imagine a more obviously morally correct side to choose in the Ukraine conflict. The entire NATO military apparatus in many ways is built and funded for the purpose of constraining Russian aggression, and at a very cheap price for the west Ukraine has decimated multiple Russian armies defending their land against senseless aggression. To whine about the small cost of sending a percentage or two of western arms for Ukrainian soldiers to die defending their country seems silly.

I don’t know why the pro-Russian bent of conservativism has arisen, but it is ugly af

That's exactly the problem with Canada today, this spendthrift attitude on the part of the Trudeau government and its apologists. "It's just $200,000 for catering on a flight to Asia, what's the big deal?" "It's only a few billion dollars to the Ukranians." "Gosh it's just a few billion dollars for contraceptives and insulin" "well it's only 6 billion dollars for people with disabilities" And so on and so forth. They have normalized graft on an incredible scale, and then point to that normalization as the rationale for why it's ok. They spend the taxpayer's money as quickly as possible. There is zero prudence or oversight, and nobody says anything because they're all getting a piece of the action. But you add up all these "small amounts" of spending and at the end of the day, you have trillions of dollars in debt, 40-50 billion dollar deficits, a stagnant economy collapsing under the burden of too much government, and a growing % of the populace that is sick and tired of being bled dry by the parasites in Ottawa.

Um Canada has by far the lowest deficit as a percentage of gdp of the g7. That doesn’t mean one shouldn’t reign in spending in targetted areas, but worrying about the small percentage of the military budget already a small percentage of the total budget used to send surplus weapons we likely will never use to defend against NATOs #1 historic enemy in a senseless war of aggression against a sovereign people seems really silly. Like be mad at a plane flight if you must. But not in the same breath as this.

Actually this is correct if we fear that Russia is going to sweep across Europe than all those that believe that should enlist and fight . Right now were just funding the big military corporations with no plan for peace , no calls for a ceasefire

You know what is ugly the rise on antisemitism among the left . I still remember Charlottesville when the neo nazis were chanting Jews will not replace us and folks called on Trump to say I do not want your vote . Yet we have folks that are pro hamas and chats I wish Hitler was alive but no calls from the left to say I do not want your vote

No one on the Right is pro Russia were just saying we do not support a never ending treasure chest for Ukraine

Buddy you were JUST caught red handed spreading russian disinformation about new NATO states with nuclear weapons. You utterly failed to name them when pressed. So you have lost all credibility to speak on this issue if you are just going to be a puppet for russian propaganda.

But I do have a question. You've repeatedly criticized Trudeau for Canada not making the 2% NATO target. But why? What is that for? If this - a tiny percentage of budget going to defend against russian destruction and attempted take over of the soverign nation of Ukraine - if THIS doesn't meet the bar for sending our artillery shells over, what on earth do you think those shells SHOULD be used for? It is hard to imagine a clearer more morally correct war and side to choose it on than that Ukraine should have the tools to defend itself. So if that doesn't meet the bar (because a liberal is in power when it started), what would?

What a ridiculous whataboutism. Completely unrelated to the topic of russia in any way you just insert the whataboutisms in with no shame. And they are just outrageously stupid. Ya buddy no "mainstream" left person is remotely condoning changing "I wish Hitler was alive". This is pretty silly characterization of pro-palestinian protests calling for humanitarian aid and a humanitarian ceasefire, to smear them with this pro-Hitler pure anti-semitism. But even if that DID occur somewhere (almost everything extreme occurs somewhere) then OF COURSE everyone remotely reasonable at all condemns that! For example, Trudeau has condemned anti-semitism many, many times! The entire whataboutism is just so pathetically weasly that there is this alleged super-extreme thing happening citing Hitler and then unmentioned "lefties" who apparently won't condemn it - just stop. It's embarassing. Be a better thinker than this.

lol .
I’m ok with Canada the way it is .
I’m not the one saying in Canada we have our liberty crush and Trudeau is a dictator .

Taking your logic maybe it’s those calling Trudeau a dictator and denying freedom so much that should leave right ?

Many way to fight a war btw , not only violence .
Which is something the right always forget .
Guns , kills , and violence vs those whom they dislike right ?

So yeah , support Putin instead Zelenskyy lol ..
U just made my point .
U don’t care about freedom and democracy .
With people like your thinking , nazis germany would of won and russia would not of loss the Cold War either ….

The cost of today is meaningless to the cost of Putin winning .
If u had any sense about the economy u would get that .
A world without a big Russia is a huge positive for Europe and the U.S. .
Are biggest trade partners bud …

And the cost of another war implicating a further west territory by Russia would even have a human cost for Canadian as well .
We are lucky to just send money and some military equipment for now .
Might be hard to fathom for you but the Ukrainian are actually fighting a war for us too ….

Why don’t u quotes like only 10 experts that say so ?
I got 300+ on my side just in Canada ….

Again talking with you is hopeless .
Even with new data’s non stop u always revert back to the same 1 article u have that been debunked countless times .

With your take on carbon tax and , Russia and other stuff , just promise me u will never go in politic for the sake of is all and I will give u the love u deserve ….

Ps: Canada paid its 2% for all the aid it paid already to Ukraine .
And unfortunately the economy grew a lot in last years , unfortunately our 2% grow with it …

Since Trudeau took office in 2015 , 1.5 trillions and now it’s at 2.4 trillions .
https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MKTGD...

And the most interesting thing , Harper in 2012 was at 1.8 trilllions and when Trudeau took office it was at 1.5 trillions …..oops .

THIS IS RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION.

Please stop glossing over it.

Tell us the name of the recently admitted NATO country you believe has nuclear missiles.

You can't just post russian disinformation and run for the whataboutisms with your tail between your legs.

What exactly is the point of the NATO 2% target if you refuse to join the rest of NATO in sending weapons to support ukraine decimate the armies of NATO's #1 enemy?

Like you can't be both mad at Trudeau for not achieving a 2% target AND mad at Trudeau for wasting money on Ukraine. The contradictions and leaps of logic your worldview has to go through to stay alwayas mad at Trudeau is amazing.
