I got a delayed email response from my MP about how the Liberals' wholehearted support for Israeli apartheid and genocide has disgraced Canada. It was a pathetic string of empty platitudes and outright stupidity. We continue to give aid through UNRWA. Canada remains committed to a "Two-State Solution." Canada defends Palestinian self-governance without Hamas.
According to the Canadian government itself, they've provided $25 billion in aid to Ukraine since 2022.
Since February 2022, Canada has committed more than $25.5 billion in overall multifaceted aid to Ukraine, including $8.5 billion in military assistance.
Despite his bluster, Trump was sensing that his moment had passed. The Supreme Court struck down his tariffs. His raping of adolescent girls was going to come back to haunt him. Whatever he thought would be the results of his economic policies, the reality is that the people are worse off than they were before. And this includes those who believed he'd bring prices down soon after his inauguration. He doesn't know what to do about the Russia-Ukraine war because he's delusional and stupid. He genuinely believes the garbage about Russia's having suffered over a million dead from wasteful "human wave" assaults for which there is no photographic evidence. Therefore he thought that Putin was desperate for peace at any price. At the same time, Trump very much wanted to exploit and humiliate Ukraine. So he pursued a contradictory policy of insulting both parties in the war and has consequently achieved nothing. He has successfully created a racist gestapo in ICE (while the pathetic Democrats have done nothing to restrain them other than to request they wear body-cams to record their criminal behaviour) but he has been disappointed that the bulk of the US-American people don't share his racist glee at the abuse of brown people. In his ignorance and stupidity he didn't anticipate the cratering of support for him from Latinos as they all find themselves targets for racist abuse from ICE agents (some of whom are Latinos themselves, because racists are uniformly stupid people).
Corrupt, gluttonous Doug Ford just didn't like the idea of many of the province's workers continuing to do their jobs remotely, from home. Just because it didn't negatively impact productivity and some reports said it was more efficient as well as better for the workers' mental health was no reason to carry on with the policy (first adopted in response to the COVID pandemic). No. "Work" is performed in a "workplace" under the direct supervision of a BOSS. That's just the way that things are. So back to the office they had to go.
Except, fat, lazy, stupid, corrupt Doug Ford didn't bother to rent the space for his workers to go to:
Trump's massive military build-up in the Middle East is continuing. As are the "negotiations" in Geneva, mediated by Oman, between Iran and Trump's envoys. Israel wants an attack, which means the Democratic Party will be okay with it. Trump admits to being a willing hireling to the zionists. But Trump must be hearing information from military people that attacking Iran could lead to a very destructive, long-term struggle. Destructive to Iran, but also destructive to the USA and Israel. Trump is being pushed into conflict by zionism and imperialism and his own hubris, and pulled from conflict by his self-interest and cowardice.
How did we get here?
How is it that we live in a world where an imbecile and a degenerate like Trump is President? How does it seem even halfway normal for Trump to be threatening war with Iran at the behest of the genocidal state of Israel, instead of being hounded from office for the revelations from the Epstein files and the fact that half of said files are illegally being withheld?
One example of the flexibility and falsehood of international law that Carney admitted to at Davos would be his own theft of $2 billion in Venezuelan gold reserves held in the vaults of the Bank of England. He was the bank's governor at the time and the UK was (and remains) united in destroying the Bolivarian Revolution that wanted to use Venezuela's oil wealth for the general population rather than local and foreign elites. Carney's "argument" was that the US puppet/douchebag Juan Guano was Venezuela's legitimate ruler and not Maduro who had only been elected in an election.
With the lawless, murderous, racist, sexist, fascist ramapaging of the Trump regime in Minnesota, and the way that the regime's supporters not only defend it, but celebrate it, ... the sickening reality of how debased the world has become is evident for all to see.
