Only a racist would make such comparisons... it is no wonder the Democrats were vile enough to insinuate such. The Democrats have always made such comparisons throughout history.

The Russian military does not mess around when designing and building its military hardware. The weapon designs have proved so popular that the Russian exhibition at the 2018 Technical forum received over a million people, breaking old attendance records.
All of these leaders ignore US pressure to avoid Russian exports. The buyers will have to patiently wait until the Russian state adopts the weapons for its own military as Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov says: "The export potential of these arms is huge. But we have a rule — until the moment we adopt new weapons, we don't export them".
Russian TV shows a very cool demonstration of the weapons in use.

Here is an article illustrating the contempt that LIE-berals and their civil service Hog allies have for us ordinary people. With some comments of my own in brackets):

Wynne Liberals can’t be trusted

The Toronto Sun. First posted: Thursday, May 11, 2017 07:19 PM EDT | Updated: Thursday, May 11, 2017 07:44 PM EDT

The Liberal government under the leadership of Premier Kathleen Wynne, demonstrably, no longer deserves the public’s trust. (TORONTO SUN/FILES)

Premier Kathleen Wynne’s government wants you to believe its horrid treatment of Maureen, a 75-year-old woman who was the victim of a government test program gone awry, is an exception to the rule.

A rare case of “human error”, even if government bureaucrats had the gall to suggest she hire a lawyer to remove an obviously fictitious lien on her van placed by “Fred and Pebbles Flintstone” of “Yellow Brick Road”.

This was after Maureen tried to sell it and learned of the lien.

Thanks to Tory MPP Randy Hillier, we know it took nine months for the government to acknowledge the lien was the result of a government worker erroneously putting the lien on her van — and possibly other vehicles — while testing Ontario’s vehicle registration system.

Given the clearly fictitious names and address on the lien, this should have been resolved in a matter of hours, if not minutes, when the mistake was first brought to the government’s attention.

The larger problem is, this wasn’t an isolated incident.

(That govt was so leery of removing the fictitious lien is an indication of just how much fraud occurs in Ontari-owe. LIE-berals have repeatedly told us that our auto insurance costs are so high due to all the fraud!)

(During the time of Conservative govts such as Ontari-owe premier Mike Harris and prime minister Stephen Harper, our news media often reported on the activities of organize immigrant gangs staging auto `accidents` for fun and profit so they could- with the aid of gang friendly doctors- claim LOTS of disability cheques from insurance companies. But we don’t hear those news reports any more-is that because the LIE-beral friendly news media that Harper hated has decided to keep quiet so as not to embarrass LIE-berals over their poisonously careless immigration policies?)

(Does anybody recall the 4 Afghan brothers arrested and facing over 1500 charges related to car theft? Three of the brothers ran an auto wrecking yard and would- for a price- make your `lemon/junker` disappear so you could claim theft insurance! And the fourth brother was a mechanic- installing all those `stolen` parts on other cars for more legitimate customers!)

(Our LIE-beral govt wax charitable in letting the 4 clods into the country and they responded by robbing us blind. And now its costs pretty close to half a million dollars per year to jail the clods- thats about $125 grand per CLOD! Not counting the cost of an extended police investigation and the court costs! And of course Our idiot Boy Justin is on record stating he will refuse to deport dual citizens who have committed crimes in Canada because, as he says: “ a Cdn is a Cdn” and it’s a sign of how desperate LIE-berals are to suck up to immigrants that idiot Justin will refuse even to deport Toronto 18 CONVICTED Muslim terrorists! And Our idiot Boy wonders why Trump keeps harping at him over national security?) )

Former Ontario ombudsman Andre Marin, for example, reported after an investigation into Hydro One that after the utility took too much money out of the bank accounts of its customers to pay their hydro bills, it refused to give it back, agreeing only to credit it against future charges.

(Yeah- so what if you end up defaulting on other bills because Hydro Hogs are holding YOUR money to ransom! LIE-berals own everything and they are being generous in allowing us to hold onto THEIR MONEY for a little while before they take it ALL BACK again!)

Former auditor general Jim McCarter revealed the government’s own energy experts told the Liberals they didn’t need to make the Feed-in-Tariff (FIT) program for wind and solar power developers as financially generous as it was, to meet their environmental goals.

The Liberals did it anyway, costing electricity ratepayers an extra $4.4 billion over 20 years, according to McCarter.

(Poor McCarter did not realize that the over generous Feed-in-Tariff was a GIFT to ENTITLED LIE-beral friends- and to hell with costs to the public!)

A CBC news investigation found the Liberals’ environment ministry misled people who contacted it to complain about ill health effects from wind turbines — telling them they were the only ones complaining, when hundreds of people were. This even as the same ministry was internally warning the government its noise limits and setbacks were inadequate, hard to monitor and difficult to enforce.

These examples have nothing to do with “human error” which is forgivable when mistakes are quickly admitted and corrected.

This is about a Liberal government that, demonstrably, no longer deserves the public’s trust.

(How sad that grossly greedy LIE-berals believe that they and their entitled civil service Hog pals ARE THE PUBLIC! And the rest of us are just hangers on who have crashed the LIE-beral party! Its why Our idiot Boy Justin can crow: “we have our country back” after winning the federal election- he REALLY and TRULY believes that it belongs to HIM PERSONALLY- with NO need to share! And its why he is ENTITLED to run around parliament, elbowing people like a hockey player and shouting “get the `Fcuk` out of my way” because parliament belongs to HIM- the selfish and petulant little man/child!)

There needs to be a lot more of this push back against the liberal leaning resistance movement MSM

Long also noted that FEMA put “over $2 billion in food and commodities” on Puerto Rico after the storm, but that grocery stores and retailers have to help with the recovery as well.
Mitchell then tried to hit FEMA on the death toll in Puerto Rico, which Long explained is largely due to deaths that occurred from lack of infrastructure or accidents during repairs.
“When it comes to the indirect deaths … the indirect deaths for any event are typically greater in many cases,” Long said. “You have [in] people who died after the storm passed because they fell off their roof making repairs, they died in car crashes because the stoplights were off, you have chainsaw accidents, you have accidents with people cleaning up debris.”

20,000 pallets of water bottles found unused on Puerto Rico runway

It is mostly an attack piece on Trump and FEMA but at the end they had to include a mention of the fact

Chavez said in a statement that about 700 pallets of water had been distributed, but there were complaints about the smell and taste.
Given the complaints, the Puerto Rican government decided not to distribute more of the water, according to a statement by Carlos Mercader, the executive director of the Puerto Rico Federal Affairs Administration.
Mercader notes that there was a delay from when the water was delivered and then distributed, in which the water was exposed and not properly stored.
An estimated 3,000 people died from Hurricane Maria, which left Puerto Rico without power, roofs or running water.

NDP’s Andrea Horwath criticized for mixing politics with Humboldt tragedy

NDP Leader Andrea Horwath is facing online backlash for mixing Ontario politics with the Humboldt Broncos tragedy.
On Wednesday night, Horwath tweeted "Ford chaos in Ontario notwithstanding, my heart is in Humbolt with so many other Canadians from across our country."
However, it immediately caused several people to respond to the Hamilton Centre MPP with harsh criticism, with some calling the comment "gross", "tasteless" and "disrespectful."
Humboldt was also misspelled in the tweet, which has since been deleted.

OECD says Canada needs to spend more on aid

OTTAWA - A major international report has concluded that the Trudeau government's lofty rhetoric about being "back" on the world stage needs the added heft of more foreign aid spending.
The Paris-based Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development reached that conclusion in an assessment released Friday by its Development Assistance Committee.
The report is part of the OECD's rotating five-year review of member countries, and its findings could temper the government's attempts to lobby for a temporary seat on the United Nations Security Council in the coming years.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland are both bound for the UN General Assembly later this month, where they will ramp up their campaigning for the two-year seat that would start in 2021.
Government officials say Canada will be pushing the notion of promoting public-private sector partnerships as a tool for financing foreign aid.
The OECD says Canada deserves credit for its renewed engagement on the world stage, including its global advocacy for the rights of women and girls in developing countries, but it needs to spend more on overseas development assistance.
The report says that Canada's foreign aid spending fell in 2017 to 0.26 per cent of gross national income from 0.31 per cent in 2012, far below the UN target of 0.7 per cent. The average for DAC members countries was 0.32.
It says that the government's recent new spending of $2 billion over five years on foreign aid simply isn't enough to restore the spending ratio to 2012 levels — the last time the OECD reviewed Canada's aid budget and found it lacking.
In dollar terms, the OECD pegs Canada's foreign aid at US$4.27 billion in 2017, compared to approximately $4.5 billion in 2012. While the dollar amounts are essentially flat over the five years, a growing economy means Canada's foreign aid as a share of the economy has declined.
Canada has become a "central actor" in supporting the UN Sustainable Development Goals, which aim to eradicate poverty, hunger, gender imbalance and inequality by 2030, said Charlotte Petri Gornitzka, the DAC chair.
"It is important to now set out a path to increase aid volumes to add weight to Canada's global advocacy role," she added in a statement accompanying Friday's report.
Canada's aid spending has fallen "despite robust economic growth," the DAC said in a statement on Friday.
The Trudeau government has said that it has no plans to reach the UN's target of 0.7 per cent — a benchmark that was set in the 1960s by an international commission headed by Canada's former Liberal prime minister Lester Pearson.
Trudeau and International Development Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau have said that reaching the 0.7 per cent target would simply cost too much.
"We have put forward a progressive new feminist policy and our approach is being recognized in the OECD report for putting gender equality at the heart of our fight to eradicate poverty," Bibeau said in a written statement to The Canadian Press on Friday.
She also highlighted Canada's leadership at the June G7 summit in Quebec, where the government was able to raise more than Cdn$3.8 billion in pledges to help send the world's poorest girls to school.
"Our leadership on gender equality and girls' education is already making a difference for millions of young women," said Bibeau.
The government is also relying on leveraging more money from the private sector to fund development projects. It recently created a development finance institution called FinDev Canada, which is a subsidiary of Export Development Canada.
Ian Smillie, a veteran Canadian development worker and author, says the government is "grasping at straws" if it plans to use its push for public-private partnerships as a vote getter at the UN.
"We're robbing Peter to pay Paul regardless of what our new thing is," he said.

"We are scraping the bottom of the barrel with our aid budget. This is historically almost at an all-time low. We talk a good game, but we're at half the level we were when Pierre Trudeau was prime minister."
Liam Swiss, a development expert at Memorial University in St. John's, N.L. said the report gives Canada its due on being an advocate for women and for amalgamating its aid program into Global Affairs Canada.
But he says given that the government has been able to find the money for big increases to the defence budget, its insistence that it can't do more to fund development rings hollow.
"Canada can afford to do more and should do more," he said. "It's a bit cynical to say we're investing as much as we can afford."

Protesters rally outside legislature during midnight sitting

TORONTO - Hordes of protesters shouted to be allowed inside the Ontario legislature as provincial politicians held a rare midnight sitting to speed up the passage of a controversial bill to cut Toronto's city council nearly in half.
Protesters voiced their opposition to the bill inside Queen's Park as well, heckling Progressive Conservative legislators with cries of "shame, shame" until the Speaker cleared the public galleries.
People who had lined up to observe the overnight debate expressed their outrage at being shut out of the process, chanting "Let us in!" and "Our city, not Ford's!" as police officers stood in front of the doors. The commotion could be heard from inside the house at times, and some protesters lingered into the early morning hours.
NDP Leader Andrea Horwath briefly left the debate to address the crowd, telling them she was proud to see so many people rally to defend charter rights at such an unusual time.
She pledged to keep fighting the Progressive Conservative government's decision to push through the legislation — a message she later repeated to the assembled legislators.
"Interfering in ongoing elections has...a chilling effect on our democracy," she said inside the house.
"The reality is this government behaved inappropriately, rammed this change forward without any kind of consultation while the elections were already underway."
The Ontario government, meanwhile, cited the need for urgent action in justifying the late-night sitting, saying passing the bill — which would reduce council to 25 seats from 47 — would eliminate any uncertainty surrounding the upcoming municipal vote.
"With the date of the municipal election rapidly approaching, we need to take action," Municipal Affairs Minister Steve Clark said. "Oct. 22 is just a few weeks away. Action to provide greater certainty for everyone and action to ensure that the election proceeds."
An earlier version of the bill was struck down as unconstitutional by an Ontario Superior Court judge last Monday, prompting Premier Doug Ford to invoke a rare provision known as the notwithstanding clause to override the ruling and reintroduce the legislation.
Ford’s use of the provision has been denounced by the opposition parties, prominent Canadian politicians and hundreds of legal professionals.
"The premier's use of the notwithstanding clause for the first time has created unprecedented chaos in our city, in our province and beyond," Liberal legislator Mitzie Hunter said during the debate.
Green Party Leader Mike Schreiner said the premier's actions have put the municipal election in jeopardy.
"This premier has manufactured a crisis by meddling with elections and trampling on local democracy," he said in a statement. "The Conservatives are acting with impunity, trying to suspend people's Charter rights under the cover of darkness while Ontarians are asleep. "
The Tory government maintains the move is necessary and within its rights, and claims the judge made an error in his ruling.
"This is something that we have a constitutional right to do and we believe it's important for elected representatives to be making the law," Deputy Premier Christine Elliott said outside the legislature.
Evangeline Cowie and Ana Buzdugan, two Grade 12 students from Toronto, watched the debate for a short time before the public galleries were cleared. The pair said they felt it was important to show their opposition to the bill — even on a school night.
"It's going to send a message that everyone is ready, is prepared to do whatever it takes to go against that decision," said Cowie, who attended with her parents.
"History is kind of going to be made today so I feel like it's important to be here, especially for something that concerns Toronto and its citizens so much," Buzdugan added.
"My dad found it kind of unusual that I wanted to come, he asked me why I couldn't just watch it on TV and I was like, 'No it's different when you're actually there because it feels like it's something you're a part of.'"
Frank Griggs, who lined up to observe the proceedings, expressed similar motivations.
"I hope this sends a message to some of the Conservative MPPs that might at least consider voting against this bill based on the feelings of their own constituents and also just their own sense of decency and their own idea of what democracy should be," Griggs said.
The bill was debated at an uncommon weekend sitting at Queen’s Park on Saturday, and the lieutenant-governor granted the government's request to reconvene the house at 12:01 a.m. Monday to continue the debate.
Ford wouldn't say how much it cost to bring back staff on the weekend, but laid the blame with the Opposition for delaying the bill's passing.
New Democrats had argued the bill should be thrown out, citing rules that preclude the house from debating substantially identical legislation in the same session and from debating a matter that is before the courts.
However, Speaker Ted Arnott ruled in the government's favour early Monday morning, saying the newly introduced bill is different from its previous incarnation.
The NDP also moved to adjourn the overnight debate but lost 67-24.
The government finds itself crunched for time at the legislature with the International Plowing Match in Chatham-Kent set for Tuesday and each year Queen's Park closes for a day so all politicians can attend.
Earlier this week, City of Toronto clerk Ulli Watkiss said that with each passing day it becomes "virtually impossible" to ensure the city provides its residents and candidates with a fair election.

Here is an article illustrating a valid point. With some comments of my own in brackets):

Stifling free speech 'not healthy'

BY JOE WARMINGTON, TORONTO SUN
FIRST POSTED: WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 23, 2017 08:19 PM EDT | UPDATED: WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 23, 2017 08:23 PM EDT

Well-known Toronto psychologist, Ryerson teacher and media commentator Oren Amitay says "the name calling, the labelling and prevention of free speech is not healthy.”

(NO KIDDING! LIE-berals are using smear tactics against their opponents since all LIE-beral policy has failed into disgrace and left LIE-berals without valid talking points! LIE-berals smear because they are now bereft of logic!)

Oren Amitay’s grandmother survived Auschwitz.

But that didn’t prevent him and fellow panellists who were scheduled to take part in a cancelled Ryerson University discussion from being called fascists, Nazis and anti-Semitic.

“It has got to stop,” the well-known Toronto psychologist, Ryerson teacher and media commentator said Wednesday. “The name calling, the labelling and prevention of free speech is not healthy.”

It is, however, effective.

The panel discussion — set for Aug. 22 — was billed as the “stifling of free speech on university campuses.”

It featured Amitay, high-profile university professors Gad Saad and Jordan Peterson and recently-fired The Rebel journalist Faith Goldy.

The stage was set for what would have been an interesting, and perhaps fiery, discussion, which would have included Goldy offering a defence of her decision to go on an alt-right podcast: “Not as an endorsement, but to naively try to show the alt-right movement was spreading like wildfire.”

(The ugly reality is that LIE-beral refusal to deal honestly with racial and immigration matters is polarizing th country! LIE-beral bigotry and promotion of special interest groups in exchange for votes is driving people to radical siolutions since moderate voices are being shouted down!)

In light of the tragic events that resulted in the heinous murder of an anti-fascist protestor during a violent rally against white supremacists in Charlottesville, Ryerson pulled the plug.

“The safety of our community is a top priority. In light of recent events, Ryerson has made the decision to cancel the Aug. 22 event,” the university said in a tweet.

The irony that a panel discussion about free speech on university campuses had to be cancelled at Ryerson was not lost on anyone.

“We are doomed,” tweeted Saad. “I don’t know what else to say. If people don’t rise up, freedom of speech will disappear.”

(With LIE-berals working hard to rush free speech to its doom! Psychologist Rick Mehta has been fired from his job at Dalhousie U. For making statements that anger LIE-berals and their supporters! Our schools now ONLY RECOGNIZE LIE-beral values as being acceptable on campus! All other dissenting voices are FIRED!)

And not only that, but the people who were supposed to be on that stage have been branded racists just like the ones down in Charlottesville.

“No, no, no,” tweeted Saad. “The enemies of truth who shut us down referred to us as Nazis, anti-Semites, and white supremacists.”

Amitay said the lumping in of anybody involved in a panel discussion is an alarming narrative spreading across the U.S. and Canada.

“The way things have become, if you are not part of the far left, you’re seen as a Nazi,” said Amitay.

It’s not nice, but it is effective. It’s not easy to erase such a tag thrown around so irresponsibly.

Amitay “loves Ryerson,” where he has taught courses for 16 years and understands the institution’s interest in ensuring there were no injuries arising from the panel discussion.

That said, from my point of view, if people want to keep free speech — and not be defined by largely anonymous enemies — they must stand up to such bullying.

(LIE-berals LOVE FREE SPEECH! It is the LIE-beral definition of free speech that is DEADLY WRONG! LIE-berals want easy questions lobbed gently at them in such a way that they can answer with vague platitudes that present them as warm and fuzzy caring people- with NO NEED to get into real problems like national bankruptcy, national security, Muslim terror etc! LIE-berals want us to be a zoned out and ignorant/carefree as the colds in Orwells book Brave New World! That LIE-berals would legalize marijuana and then seriously talk of legalizing opiods like Heroin indicate they really do want us drugged up and careless!)

As long as it’s constructive, it’s productive to have an exchange of ideas and it’s not necessarily bad to engage in passionate and non-violent discourse. Having a dialogue about race, gender or immigration is not racism just because a political movement — which pushes a guilt-by-association narrative — brands it as such.

(LIE-berals SCORN any exchange of ideas as they have all they want and do not need others that expose LIE-beral hypocrisy to public scorn!)

And painting everybody on a panel as a racist without even hearing their diverse points of view is odious.

“The labelling is just plain wrong,” said Amitay.

And not because he’s of Jewish background with “a Japanese wife and siblings that are gay and black.” It’s wrong because it curtails freedom of expression, thought, ideas and opinions.

“I teach my students about critical thinking and to challenge things,” said Amitay.

It’s not a stretch to challenge outrageous accusations that Amitay is a Nazi when he’s the grandson of a woman who had a serial number tattooed on her wrist.

(Nazis were willing to tolerate the presence of Jews- IF they made themselves useful in some important way- so to with LIE-berals- they are willing to tolerate white people who keep their heads down and their mouths SHUT!)

(It is no coincidence that it is easier to get permission to play the Nazi propaganda film Triumph of the Will- glorifying Adolf Hitler in a Wilfred Laurier U. Class than it is to speak the words of Psychologist Jordan Peterson or to read aloud from Toronto Sun newspaper!)
