Our per Capita emissions are among the highest in the world. But if emissions per square kilometres are used as the metric — a calculation the United Nations has done in the past — Canada becomes one of the world’s lowest emitters, illustrating that with statistics, what you get depends on what...

It’s politics of division, and he’s reminding one of his references to “flat earthers” or “anti-vaxxer mobs” — or people who are racist, misogynists or against science. This time, Trudeau said in an era where “the richest are only getting richer, I think it’s fair to ask those people to pay a...

Customary international law, codified over 90 years ago in the Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States, lays out four essential features of the state as a legal entity: (a) a permanent population; (b) a defined territory and borders; (c) a sovereign government capable of...

I don’t have room for prison over dumb shit in my immediate future. If the stash is a bag of easily convertible cash, etc….lets talk, but explosives etc…I’ll pass but to each their own.

Depends on the stash. Rockets & mortars, those I’ve got no room in my garage for.

Oh hardly. It was funny. You should really give it a watch above. It’s one of the anchors from Australia for sky news.

My only knowledge of it comes from the Will Ferrell movie, that I haven’t actually watched, but I’ve seen previews for. The post above (Greta) where the host called her a “Doom Goblin” had me laughing earlier this morning…

If I’m seiging anything, it won’t be Gaza or Israel. Neither is on my travel bucket list.

Is the Eurovision Song Contest the most insightful window into western society and politics we currently have? As usual, the 2024 show delivered a memorable night of the fun, the bizarre and the weird. It was also highly politically charged as contestants voiced their opposition and...

Ellie May & the band of 10 are busy beavers (or the Middle East equivalent of beavers?)!

Based on his rhetoric, Canadians might think that Jagmeet Singh was a harsh critic of the Trudeau government — one who holds the Liberals to account. Yet, by his actions, Canadians who are paying attention will quickly realize that Singh has turned his party into a doormat for the Liberals to...

The United Nations has significantly adjusted Palestinian casualty figures (from the Hamas run Gaza Health Authority) for the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip, halving the number of women and children previously reported killed. But they’re only counted once each, unless each one identifies as...

Flip flop…flip flop…flip flop…flip flop…

About $18.25 in American dollars for comparison. Almost all of that’s tax’s. Black market smokes are $6-$10/20 pack & those have been stepped on pricewise repeatedly before reaching the Prairies. (last time I was in Cuba, cheapest pack of smokes converted to about $0.65 USD…but about 15yrs...

And somewhere between the two extremes from the two sides…may or may not be the truth. I totally hear you.

So if the middle ground is 2.5 battalions (so 2500-ish militants) plus 5 of 10 more & 1/2,of an Ellie May still in Rafah alone? That fair?

Yep, in the competing narrative against Hamas media wing, about the Hamas military wing, with opposing numbers from the Hamas run Gaza Health Ministry wing. The truth may or may not be somewhere in the middle. So there’s probably somewhere between 5 battalions or 10-11 individuals from Hamas...

Sounds like there might be a few more than 10 & Ellie May. Hamas will not submit or surrender. Israel claims that half of Hamas's fighters have been killed but every day the IQB demonstrates that it is still capable of fierce resistance. There remain at least five active battalions, now broken...
