said most of those gains were split between full- and part-time work, as wholesale and retail trade alone added 21,000 new jobs.
I remember reading the employment report a few months back and it said majority of the jobs were part-time.
Another reason why ‘unemployment rate’ isn’t the best metric, but it’s good enough for economists to write articles.
But how could the far right then fear monger to start closing off borders?
LoL, if I booby trapped my house and some invading force came in and set it off, that’s their own fault.
There’s no retaliation, it’s just Israelis being the cunts they are because that’s what they’ve always done.
You don’t even need a financial alternative.
Canada literally already has a law and administrative function “Foreign Extraterritorial Measures Act (FEMA)”.
Carney is just a coward talking out of both sides of his mouth.
Didn’t she defend her grandfather who was a Nazi collaborator? That’s not really an admirable trait
Not to take away from how spiteful Russia is, but double tapping - the strategy that Israel uses often - is usually in quicker succession, like within minutes because civilians get closer or when emergency personnel are already there. The drones here were over the course of 24hours, which is a much wider window.
This is the second attack on our warehouse in 24 hours.
Washington Institute is a pro-israel think tank.
Their statements now are not neutral statements/objective facts. They’re literally advisory statements to dictate strategy that would benefit Israel.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Washington_Institute_for_Near_East_Policy
The Washington Institute for Near East Policy (WINEP), also known simply as The Washington Institute (TWI), is a pro-Israel American think tank based in Washington, D.C.,[3][4] focused on the foreign policy of the United States in the Near East.
Russia gave Syria S-300 and S-400 systems which could supposedly knock out some of the most advanced bomber jets, yet not one Israeli fighter was downed over Syria. And this is before F-35s existed.
Like you said, Israel playing both sides and both sides know it too.
Yes, and Iran invasion, and Cuba blockade, etc…
Again, we are not at open war (bullets flying, missiles dropping) for us to not care if centralization of power or when subverting parts of our democracy is happening.
The premise of the post and article is centralization of power as if it’s wartime, and we’re not at active war.
When has the federal reserve influenced foreign policy then or even domestic policy? How exactly does it help Israel?
You’ve drawn a parallel…OK and then what? How does the majority of them being of Jewish background (and that’s assuming 1- they’re religious not just of the ethnicity and 2- that they’re Zionist) drive your point home exactly?
If we’re willing to abandon Democratic principles when war (actual battle) hasn’t even been declared, then I don’t see much hope for what will be left of our current democracy when/if that happens.
Done the same and worse to Mexico. They’re neither arming up or dismantling parts of their democratic process.
If this is how we’re rolling over with the “existential threat” of Trump going back and forth about a 51st state, the hell is going to happen if/when an actual war breaks out?
That’s literally why the article is titled the way it is. War powers as if its wartime. But its not wartime.
Well I’m just glad that someone is mentioning disaster capitalism and that really is my main point to the premise of this post about centralization of power.
My “war” in quotations was about the economic war. Trump’s posturing is fucked up, aggressive, and definitely threatening; and he was betting on Canada buying weapons from the US for protection like Denmark is doing.
Um…its not a choice of centralization or decentralization of power. What? Those aren’t the only choices!
Point: The choice is don’t go against the Democratic process and principles.
Like when he made a partisan appointment to roles of governance
https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/mark-carney-senate-tom-pitfield-9.7261037
Prime minister ends Trudeau-era policy of nonpartisan appointments
Following that thread, him appointing Martel to open another seat in that riding which Carney is betting goes to a liberal seat
On the one hand, the Prime Minister gets to say that he’s non-partisan by appointing a Conservative to the Senate. On the other hand, creating an opening in Chicoutimi—Le Fjord creates a situation where the Liberals can win another seat
The liberal majority can already pass laws through with little discussion as we’ve seen with bill c-22 unfortunately. The majority is a democratically given centralization, for sure, but passing laws undemocratically and making partisan appointments is not the right way.
And Denmark didn’t centralize their government if you want to use that example. They increased spending, sure, but didn’t go against political norms.
Well thanks for the added context. My understanding was that the profits were going to Canada considering that we paid for the bridge.
I guess the Moroun’s really obfuscated the information out there.
What do you think tariffs are? They’re literally defined as isolationist and protectionist methods by a government.
https://www.progressivepolicy.org/tariffs-and-economic-isolationism-four-principles-for-a-response/
https://uslawexplained.com/isolationism
Here’s a wikipedia article if you’d like: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tariff
It’s also the terminology applied preceding to WW2 when isolationist policies of European countries applied tariffs to imports from competing empires. Which is why the couldn’t recover well from WW1.
So I appreciate the condescending tone, I really do.
But if your only issue with my comment is that “I don’t understand tariffs” and that’s what you decided to be aggressive about when the main premise is Carney’s overreach of power, then that’s not my problem.
I’m sorry, why would it be considered a misconception that I don’t want power centralized?
But what is “contacting Hamas”? They’re still an administrative body. Did he contact the fire brigade? The health ministry? The law enforcement? The militant wing?
That’s part of the smoke screen that Israel has thrown up when defining what Hamas is. It’s not just a paramilitary organization, it was the actual governing body of Gaza with several divisions that are far removed from the actual fighting.
So when Israel says it’s killed 5 Hamas members, it actually killed traffic cops.
Edit: Regardless, to keep in line with actual info from the article and the legal proceedings - the TPS basically followed him around due to his involvement in anti-genocide protests and supposed “hate speech” but wasn’t charged with that.
They then contacted the counter terrorism office to conduct a raid on his home (mind you, still no charge) which they claim they found details of communication with a sanctioned group, which then applied the terrorism charge.
