I don't have a dog in this fight. I see wrongs being done by both sides in this decades-old war. The self-censorship I am seeing taking place at all kinds of institutions and organizations in the richest democracies is quite alarming. This is the kind of atmosphere people under authoritarian rules live in - speaking as someone who's lived in those types of places. Not a democracy.

Yeah it's not just Canada. It's done in every industrialized country. They do this in Europe including Scandinavian countries where they import African labor for agriculture (for instance they bring in African pickers for blue berries, etc). Same in Japan and Korea I believe.

This is interesting. It was the Thais who were pushing for Dawei port project for the better part of 2 decades. It would give Thais a short-cut around the Strait of Malacca choke point, and shorter route to Europe, Middle East, India and Africa from their manufacturing hub near and around Bangkok. It would also give them easier access to cheap Burmese labor via special economic zones in Dawei. It could also be an alternative port to the Kyauk Phyu Chinese-owned deep water port project in Arakan.

What kind of exploitative capitalism do we have in Canada? And how is this allowed? This is utterly ridiculous!

In the past three days, Russian troops, backed by fighter jets, artillery and lethal drones, have poured across Ukraine’s northeastern border and seized at least nine villages and settlements, and more territory per day than at almost any other point in the war, save the very beginning.

Falling birth rates are bad news for economies and billionaires, but good news for the planet.

Oh no... that's not the last. He'll then cut taxes for the corporations and the rich. Cut healthcare and government services because he'll say "we have to balance budget". Then increase subsidies to corporations to "create jobs". Conservative scam continues.

Poilievre needs to grow up put on pants and be a man. How the F are you expected to exercise judgement as a leader without getting proper security clearance? Are you hiding something?

Funny thing is this kind of behaviour isn't unique to Musk. A lot of entrepreneurs and CEOs seem to have similar kind of attitude. They want everything done cheaper faster and there's no 2 ways about it. It's their way or highway. If shit goes to hell it's other people's heads that roll.
