But the current failings are all of their own doing. And even though I'd really hate to see PeePee become PM -- and with a huge majority in Parliament too -- it looks like that's the reality we will see 2 years.
But election isn't today or tomorrow ... a lot can happen in 2 yrs son. It's like the Cons are leading 4-0 in the 1st period. I think if JT steps aside and Libs put another face to the brand .. who knows? I think it's possible to turn the tide. Certainly possible not to hand the Cons a majority (giving them free reign for 4 yrs), maybe even making the election close and Cons have a small minority is a 'win' for the Libs.

I mean we're probably heading into somewhat of a recession so I don't see JT's approval going up in the next year or so if anything he's going to be getting shit on even more when everyone's choked about renewing their mortgage and having no money whether it's his fault or not.

Everyday, I hear about 'rise of anti semitism' in the news. Unless there's been an uptick in white sheets, mein kampf, and deliverance soundtrack sales, we all know the source of the rise.

Yea cause that’s what that’s getting at lol come on

Kill a million babies, I don’t care. Just don’t act like ya do and then not call a cease fire JT ya fuckin knob

Kinda laugh that South Africa, the bastion of equality and justice is threatening to shut down their Israeli embassy and kick out Israeli representatives if they don’t allow humanitarian aid, while Canada can’t do much else than have JT tweet from Vij’s

Israel: "Yo, move to the south it's safe there"
Israel: "K, yo, move north now, south ain't safe anymore"
*Bombs*

It's becoming quite apparent what Israel is doing here, and it's pretty sick. Where are they gonna flee then?

But cue the next report from the IDF where they find a few AK47s strewn about and a sewage tunnel in a hospital and call it "Hamas's Terrorist Tunnels".

Definitely tilts towards Israel and against Palestine ... listed the many times that International community and Israel offered the 2 state solution but it was rejected by Palestinian leaders.

Was at Metrotown on Friday, and there was a group of Palestinian supporters marching around the mall.
They also pulled this little stunt.


It's almost funny, we were there right at this time, and my 3.5 year old wanted to go to Chapters but I had to tell her no, we don't have time - we would have run right into this. We were eating at the food court when they came and shouted a bunch.

I'm fairly neutral in this conflict, I can see both sides have both valid points, as well as a proven history of doing shitty things - but this kind of 'protest' is, in my opinion, fucking stupid.

Like ok I get it, the people you're related to are suffering greatly back home, but how is inconveniencing thousands of people across the world, on private property, while screaming "free Gaza" into an Aliexpress PA system where everything is garbled once you're 10 feet away going to gather any support? Also the way they were doing this just made it seem like they were waiting for Israeli supporters to come up and pick a fight. I honestly think the only reason security didn't remove them was because the mall would get bad PR so they told them to not do anything.

But but we're raising awareness! Yeah ok, I'm sure the people who now have tinnitus who also have to explain to their kids why grown ass adults are laying in the middle of the mall with red and white bedsheets are now sympathetic to your cause, as you go home in your warm car to your warm house as you feel warm and fuzzy inside because "you made a difference." This, again IMO, is no different than the people who glue themselves onto roads to "raise awareness" for climate change. It's counter-productive, and is the worst kind of virtue signaling.

Well yea I’m sure they are all the exact same groups. Professional protestors, woke “students” trying to make a name for themselves in their liberal studies groups etc.

The actual Palestinian people who go to the organized rallies at the art gallery etc. seem much more connected and reasonable then people banging on the windows of a Starbucks

Fast forward a few years and I’m sure these people will find some new thing to “protest” once they’ve long forgotten about this conflict.

I totally agree, really quick way to get people to not support your cause.

They're better off catching a flight to DC and doing that shit on Capitol Hill.

Those protesters probably won't last an afternoon in real Palestine. We should send them over to Gaza to support Hamas

Israel/Palestine Conflict (2023)

Israeli military killed three Israeli hostages by accident.

https://www.cnn.com/middleeast/live-...-23/index.html


Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has spoken of his “deep sorrow” at what he called the “unbearable tragedy” of the deaths of three Israeli hostages in Gaza who were accidentally shot by Israeli soldiers.

“Along with all the people of Israel, I bow my head with deep sorrow and mourn the death of three of our dear sons who were kidnapped, among them are Yotam Haim and Samer Fouad Al-Talalka,” he said on X, formerly Twitter

^ Damn, more details coming out ... how the hell does that happen?

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-67738111

Three Israeli hostages mistakenly killed by Israeli soldiers in Gaza were shot dead while holding a white cloth, an Israeli military official says.

An Israeli military official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said an initial investigation by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) suggested the three hostages emerged shirtless from a building, with one carrying a stick with a white cloth.

The hostages - Yotam Haim, 28, Samer Talalka, 22, and Alon Shamriz, 26 - were killed in Shejaiya on Friday.

Give a military commands to shoot any living being on site indiscriminately and here we are. They are talking a little more about this than the Israelis they killed at the music festival for the same reason.

I'm half surprised they aren't claiming the hostages were actually carrying weapons for Hamas.

The IDF are pretty much an amateur army decked out with the most advanced kit you can get.

From a personnel perspective, the IDF aren't elite, their equipment is.
