Canada banned Huawei from our cellular networks, surprised other countries haven't

You know how edgelord internet trolls just love to react with an ugly sojack when you say something they dont like?

Think we can create a caption of this dude to serve as the "mocking edgelord internet trolls" macro?

Is this the poster child of overweight social media edgelord that the videos of the arrest was going around?

I mean, the closest we ever got to WWIII was the Seuz Crisis, because of France and UK using their VETOs..

it was actually deescalated and world war III prevented because Canada took the issue to the General Assembly and ended up having them create the UNEF under command of E. L. M. Burns..

I just think its worth noting, the General Assembly did more to prevent WWIII than the security council ever did

It makes sense.

The Kidnapping Children is something thats pretty much impossible to defend by even the most seasoned propegandists.. its also the easiest to objectively prove

It prevents the "ohh hes actually the victim yada yada" bullcrap

meanwhile, if he is arrested on that warrant, they can then begin slapping him with other related charges..

US and Canada banning it for federal government on the same day, and Australia has banned it for several federal departments

im thinking the five eyes probably has some intel.. guess we wait and see what the brits and kiwis do

Last time that happened it didn't end well

The UK has one of the worst health systems in Europe.. it's like looking at Venezuela on how to have a thriving economy

The two best healthcare systems in Europe are France and Germany, considered among the best in the world.. what are they doing?

While I do get the point you are trying to make, we do have laws on how the animals need to be treated up until that point, and to handle the process humanely so the animals don't have to suffer unnecessary levels of cruelty

How often those laws are enforced is another question entirely, as with a lot of regulations, but they exist in theory

It's the AirBNB loophole

Been really popular in Canada with our scumbag landlords.. say you are converting it to an AirBNB and grats you can evict without having to adhere to the eviction laws, then a month later convert it back

Ehhh, I'd probably argue the UKs spot still makes sense.. not only are they a nuclear power with a respectable military budget, but they are in a very unique position in the global stage due to how many fairly rich countries share their constitutional head of state

Technically, Russia broke that in the mid 2004s following the orange revolution

It's actually one of the things that soured Russian NATO relations

You realize Australia has been a NATO partner and defacto member since the 50s right?

People have been questioning NATOs existence and reason for still being a thing, including several NATO countries ever since the USSR fell

But this war has..

Rejustified NATOs existence

Encouraged countries to divest from Russia and China

Caused NATO to grow

NATO and EU countries to focus more on interpersonal economic relations with allies and stop trying to use economic trade as their primary war deterrent

Caused NATO to look more into working with its pacific partners, Australia, Japan, New Zealand

Decimated the Russian Economy to a point it will take decades if not generations to recover

Allowed Ukraine to prove themselves on the world stage, which "not being up to NATO standards" was one of the reasons NATO said they originally rejected their application

Caused fucking Switzerland to pick a side, Switzerland!

This war is horrible, and it never should have happened.. but it's blown up in Putin's face in every conceivable way.. and while it's definitely having global economic impacts now.. when the dust finally settled and Ukraine is victorious and rebuilding begins, we are going to see a weakened Russia (and to a lesser extent China), and a stronger and united rest of the world

Well, Canada is in the middle of a public inquiry over the police not doing shit about a bunch of conspiracy theorists occupying our capital and blocking our borders for a month demanding they be made the new government..

We also have the CSE, which runs parallel to CSIS.. CSIS looks a more into domestic security, CSE focuses more on foreign intelligence

While CSIS was founded as a result of the RCMP detachment responsible for their job before them going AWOL and commiting domestics terrorism after the FLQ crisis, CSE traces its roots to Canada's cryptography researchers in the second world war

There was sattelite footage of them taking trucks of.. shrugs something... From Chernobyl

>We have numerous protests here all the time. Blocking roads for days, honking horns into the night, and harassing locals isnt protesting.

its worth noting.. one of the last things the Harper government did (and lil PP now head of the CPC voted in favour of) was defining terrorism in the anti-terrorism act of 2015..

whats the criteria for terrorism..?

blocking infrastructure to try and influence politicians..

so, under the words of the politician they worship.. their actions were terrorism..

>There's a woman issuing edicts as the "queen of Canada"

Theres actually two of them now and each are calling each other pretenders....

they published a public list of demands prior to the ottawa occupation that included, *replacing the recently elected house of commons with our trucker council so they can ensure laws that "heal our nation"*..

its worth noting, the Canadian Right-wing has always been notorious on wanting Canada to become a US state.. the current itteration of the Canadian Conservative Party, began as the *western reform party*.. which was a party that wanted everything west on ontario to leave canada and become US states...
