Shared this on my Whats App status to gauge the response People live in a world where they can ignore reality...if it doesn't suit them. 1. It's propoganda 2. There are busted crisis actors with fake injuries 3. There's a Ukrainian anti-air missile doing friendly fire 4. And the usual rhetoric about people airing Russia's dirty laundry 5. Oh and - just by sharing this - I'm ignoring the Ukrainian civil war 6. Etc. etc. etc.

You were a Bomber fan before 2019. We wrote the book and reinvented the wheel - on that.

Covid-19
Inspiration that matters: Canadian vax rate, age 5 and up 89% at least one dose 81% 2 doses 43% boosted This is very high, considering that the 5 - 11 age group is around 50%

Meanwhile: the majority world's electricity is generated from fossil fuels and non - renewables 36% coal; 23% gas; 10% nuclear; 16% hydropower; 5% wind; 11% other sources And, Hydropower creates issues with mercury level and flooding The world could be 100% EV, and we would still need almost as much fossil fuel as we ever did I don't see EVs as the way to put fossil fuels behind us - that is just not realistic What EVs WILL DO, is create a system where fossil fuels are burned only in certain areas, as opposed to all over the highways, the way they are now There will be a much greater ability implement the latest and best CLEAN TECHNOLOGIES, such as scrubbers for coal and biomass, burning oil at higher temperatures, etc.

This. The stuff that Sun media and Rebel news put up on their social media channels, is enough to numb anyone's brain. They literally have clips of JT at international events, where they video edit and narrate to make it look like no one interacts with him.

Sorry, I thought you were asking what the money was spent on.
-
World Politics
1. Increased transfers to the provinces (MB. alone has increased by more than 1 billion annually) 2. Pandemic spending - I'm sure most of CERB was borrowed money

Covid-19
I am referring to rapid tests being 50% accurate. Whether the person being tested has symptoms makes a big difference to the accuracy of the test.
-
Covid-19
It depends what rationale the comment is based on. Was the doctor talking about testing people with symptoms? Or were they referring to testing both symptomatic and asymotomatic?

Based on the current metal prices, all of that fossil fuel infrastructure can be recycled for a considerable amount of cash Number 1 copper is as high as $5 per pound, aluminum cans are over 80 cents per pound

That's a good start - I hope we see much more of that

If it's just going to continue filling the general revenue coffers, then I would actually agree with scrapping it. It could be revamped into a positive good that no one could argue against.

Exactly. The money should be used for green initiatives: 1. Plant trees 2. Research and develop biomass/carbon neutral energy sources Etc. Etc.

12% of the world's total. Which makes them the world's largest oil exporter. They supply more than half of Europe's oil.- Covid-19
No. Staff can choose whether we wear masks or not.- World Politics
I am not so sure about that. Germany gets 1/3 of their raw oil from Russia, and 1/2 of their gas (I heard this in a German newscast, that I use for German language instruction: https://www.zdf.de/kinder/logo/logo-vom-freitag-4-maerz-2022-102.html) That's just one European nation. How much extra cost is Europe willing (or able) to absorb?- The Environment Thread
My point being - there are water shortage issues in places other than the prairies.- The Environment Thread
Water adundance is not just a myth on the prairies.- World Politics
Excuse me if this was already posted elsewhere- World Politics
The Holocaust and WWII also get pretty complicated, the more you look into them The Allies were not innocent, and I would also include the Canadian Government in that statement But - none of that changed the fact that Hitler needed to be shut down- World Politics
Indeed. Canada (BNA at the time) carries the honour (sarcasm) of having deliberately infected Aboriginals with small pox My point being, you can find an excuse to invade pretty much every nation on the globe - World Politics
