I mean, I’m not surprised. The two of them had the perfect jobs for being spies.

Especially if the NDP forms the minority. A Liberal/NDP minority represents more than 50% of all voters.

Most damaging PM since Harper.

I’m not sure why people are surprised? Intel pulled off 7nm without EUV. It’s just classic “China stupid, only American company can do that” bullshit.

AMD’s fabs became Global Foundries, who pulled out of the bleeding-edge node game once it became cost prohibitive to do so with 7nm.

Intel is still on 7nm. Samsung’s 5nm is basically 7nm+. The fact that SMIC can do 7nm without EUV is insanely impressive.

Intel took years and years of delays to achieve the same thing.

Senior US officials have stated that they believe the Gaza Health Ministry to be underreporting casualties.

Investing is supposed to be a risky venture. This is the risk.

If the US continues to destabilize, we’re fucked anyway. Any aid we can provide to Ukraine is going to be us allocating funds to buy American weapons that we then ship off to Ukraine.

How about nationalize our O&G, airline, and telecom?

The CRTC can go fuck itself.

China’s a leader in terms of actually hitting their emissions targets (they’re hitting peak oil earlier than expected, for example), but they aren’t able to use the natural gas crutch to drive down “emissions.”

Methane leaks absolutely destroy any GHGe advantage natural gas has in the short term, but it’s something that’s completely forgotten in emissions reporting. If you adjust for natural gas’ methane footprint, the GHGe reductions in the West start looking really depressing.

Canada got its key industries stripped away by the US (Boeing to Bombardier) and China (Huawei to Nortel). Now? All the jobs are fleeing South of the border and people are fleeing with it.

At least Huawei still employs a fuck ton of Canadian tech workers and is rapidly expanding. Huawei is footing the bill for a ton of big tech conferences in Canada. They’re sponsoring a bunch of projects for Canadian undergraduate engineering students. They’re hiring a sizable chunk of the graduates from Canadian universities in their focus areas and are happy to foot the bill for technical training. Frankly, Huawei is doing a better job of creating and keeping Canadian talent within Canada than most Canadian companies. They relinquished any IP control over research done in conjunction with Canadian universities.

Meanwhile, Microsoft uses it’s Canadian offices as visa waiting rooms before shipping them off to the US.

Ranked higher than a country where many believe there to only be one valid party and that if the other party gains power that the entire democratic system will collapse and bring Armageddon?

That’s who you’re comparing against?

Don’t shove your US media ruler on our Canadian media

To join the Nazis? Fuck off.

At the end of the day, the vast majority of Ukrainians fought for the Red Army against a nation who’s policy literally involved the eradication of the Slavic races because they were seen as subhuman. Have you read Mein Kampf? Do you know how many Soviets died in the concentration camps? Do you know how many civilians Nazi Germany starved by doing exactly what you claim Stalin did to the occupied Soviet territories?

Hell, half of the point of invading Ukraine was to capture the agricultural production, starve the Ukrainians, and use that to feed the German war machine.

The famine was caused by multiple factors and blaming it as if it were Stalin’s genocidal policy is frankly revising history.

Due to collectivization (giving up owned land to join the collective farm), landlords were very unhappy. Many resorted to slaughtering their own livestock in protest and many wealthy landowners indicated that they were “disincentivized” from working to produce grain in similar quantities as in the past. In the beginning, many Ukrainian nationalists took to murdering workers at collective farms to hinder their productivity. Moreover, the import/export relationship to the rest of the Soviet Union was weak as Ukraine predominantly produced foodstuffs (that were produced in increasingly high quantities in the Eastern territories because of collectivization) and not machinery (which had to be imported) - Ukraine’s exports lost value while their imports gained value.

I would recommend reading the works of Isaac Mazepa (a Ukrainian nationalist), Louis Fischer (an American journalist), and statements from both Stalin and the Politburo at the time. Stalin and the Politburo at large were aware that Kosior and Chubar were misrepresenting numbers, but not to what degree - thus, the aid they sent was grossly insufficient. Stalin butted heads with both Kosior and Chubar and was extremely critical of both of them. Both Kosior and Chubar were executed in the great purge under orders from Stalin.

Famine struck Ukraine at an incredibly inopportune time in Ukrainian politics and led to the regrettable death of millions. Famine also struck in conjunction with typhoid fever and the rise of the OUN (emboldened by Hitler’s success in Germany). You can read more about the OUN through Dmytro Dontsov’s writings.

These issues aren’t exactly contradicting each other, though. You can be anti-immigration but still want other economies to grow and develop and be supported.
