While the whole country was intently watching the Blue Jays playing in Toronto, Doug Ford's Ontario government quietly and unilaterally gave themselves a lot more power...

It's time Canadians pushed back and demanded electoral reform for fair federal and provincial systems!

lol. Yeah…

I didn’t end up playing that one. Started ff16.. got 20hrs or so into it, haven’t gone back to it.

America.

They had mentioned via their photo that folks were having folks in Afghanistan (I think), I was pointing out that folks are being hung, again, in the states.

Not a what if, more a statement of fact.

The allies nearly lost ww2 & the biggest lynchpin was that the USSR turned on Germany. It’s not the only lynchpin, but a massively contributing one.

Who fueled Germany for a good chunk of ww2 and funded them with many arms?

What would have happened had the nazis not betrayed the USSR? The axis powers likely would have won.

North Africa is doing great. Absolutely nothing going sideways there right now.

Europe… I’m assuming you’re referring to ww2… America contributed to but hardly won ww2. If anyone did that would have been the USSR. America came in halfway through and, by and large, the rest of the allies feared the US bombers, but out of incompetence of them, not their lethality or capability.

Japan, post WW 2 and reconstruction, got a boom from the US military alliance. It just took America bombing a country that was already in the process of surrendering… so big win there.

Korea used to be a unified country, they had a conflict, America made it worse.

The majority of the US pop believe that everywhere their gov has touched has turned to gold afterwards, whereas in reality most places, w/ few exceptions, either treaded water or did worse.

It’s very hard to have a conversation w/ folks from the states. It’s like when I lived there & tried to have these convos.

I’ll do a threaded response so it’s all under the same thread…

That’s a lofty idea, I would argue the states have done more harm than good.

What country had America “helped” that didn’t result is a worse outcome?
Korea? Only half the pop
Vietnam? lol.
Afghanistan…
South America and its various coups America has been involved with?
Etc.

What’s really fucked up is to say that we (the US) are the defacto world police, we (US) can do what we want, bomb who we want, and if someone retaliates lose our god damned minds.

That’s kind of the point though.

What gives the states the moral authority to be the world police?
Why should the world tolerate it?
What other country in the world can place military bases all over the world and get away with it, bomb countries without recourse, etc.

Ok.

Yall are hanging folks, black folks in particular but also not specifically black folks, in the states.

What gives Yall the moral superiority?

I’m curious what this is, from what I can see it’s either a leader that America has killed or one of the lynchings that their leaders started doing years back.

Correct me if I’m wrong.

?

The question should be; should the world allow America to be the world’s police?

America has never been a good country, they haven’t ever really won a war, just made everything worse by getting into other peoples shit, so why allow them to defacto be the police?

Fuck this guy

I second this.

Watching the first two movies first is the best. Pick and choose after that.

Still a conservative in liberal drapery

As I said during the election, he’s only marginally better than PP.

I wonder where all them 2a folks are right now.

Breaking!

City of Burnaby just became first city in Canada to join arms embargo movement against Israel AND the first Apartheid-Free City, breaking ties with Israeli apartheid and settler colonialism.

We've been organizing for months towards this precedent in colonial Canada.

All empires end.

The NDP need to stop pussyfooting around and just lean into socialism or socialistic ideologies of the left and run hard with it. Left wing / socialist ideologies are popular with the majority of people, it’s the messaging and the counter arguments against the right that they have to get down.

100% agree

Unfortunately there’s a lot of folks whom because of some progressive policies the LPC have think that, in general, the liberals aren’t conservatives

NDP are left but have capitulated to much and moved to far centre. They, NDP, need to lean hard left imo.

The LPC aren’t left of centre. They are a right of centre party. Run left, govern right is the liberal mantra.
