Ummm, you mean the country that tries to protect their youth from being morally corrupted yet allowing school massacres to run rampant? Almost one school shooting per day.

Porn corrupts, but guns kill.

Enforced individual rights will eventually always cede to enforced collective responsibility. Those who supply services will be forced to collectively ensure their responsibility to protect the rights of the individual.

Now let us find out if indeed they can and will enforce it.

The difference between social policy and fiscal policy. They are not the same kettle.

That facility, it said, would be able to supply 500,000 electric vehicles annually.

That is a lot of batteries.

It is actually probably a GOOD thing this was not done ten years ago. Back then, it would have been bought out by an American firm in short order. Now, there is little stomach for selling out to the Americans. Today, this has a really good chance of remaining Canadian,

Michael Kovrig, when he was arrested by the Chinese, was working for all intenents and purposes under the auspices of the American State Department, for American (not Canadian) interests. One might suggest that he had sold out to America. I suggest that he was more American than Canadian in his 'politics'. It still seems that he is spouting American State Department propaganda when it comes to his comments on Canada's relationship with China.

Canada needs a foreign policy stance that reflects Canada's interests, not the American State Department.

What about countries where, if you do not work, you do not live unless you either beg, or are a criminal, or you are in a family that can support you (i.e., without a job you are impoverished without a social safety net and starve to death)? Is that 'forced labor'? Like the typical right-wing talking point "You lazy indigent, either work or starve"? If you are paid, is it 'forced labor'? Otherwise, it is just 'slavery', not 'forced labor'.

There have been many instances of Canadians serving with the American armed forces.

That applies to the recruiter while in Canada, that does not pertain to the one being recruited.

After all, Canada started as a British colony. The European roots go deep.

Interestingly, if this was the early 1900's, Canada could have been caught up in the entire Brexit thing. As went Britain, so went Canada, at the time.

And then there is Cuba. Conundrum after conundrum. Oh for the good old days when you could tell the bad guys from the good without a playlist.

Wait, in the 'good old days', there was Vietnam.

I sympathize with you. There does not seem to be a vehicle for good communication between the two mods for this community, and looking at the mod logs (in red, very bottom of right hand column) it does not appear that the mods do any dialogue with posters before banning them or deleting their posts. Theoretically, if one of the mods has a particular bias, there is no way to address that bias in their mod actions. Should their communication with you be in a DM, or should it be in a public forum?
