I haven’t had the chance to watch the above vid (in a public place), but with some quick math, that’s (2040km in 11.5 minutes) over 6600mph so what the Hell kind’a stuff is coming out’a “Achmed’s Home Hardware & Missile Supply Store” or Iran, or Russia??? Hypersonic and seemingly un-targeted...

The Houthi’s didn’t seem to be targeting anything specifically here, but again, just a statement that this distance is a possibility… Now, where did this long range missile come from (?) before the Houthi’s shot it into Israel in this statement? Iran or “Achmed’s Home Hardware & Missile Supply...

Clown circus? Goat rodeo? Herding cats?

Weird question but, where is this coming from? I tried to do a quick search on the forum itself to go backwards, out of curiosity, and I really didn’t get anywhere.

Canada currently has 236,000 asylum seekers, a factor of a drastic incline. In just 2016, only 24,000 refugee claims were made; that number sextupled to 145,000 in 2023. The approval rate is an incredibly high 78 per cent, but this is in part a factor of wide admissions criteria. A suspicious...

We enjoy debating/fencing with each other. It just happens to be this topic at this point. I could argue the Palestinian side & Petros the Israeli side, & it’s complex enough that it would be easy to do so, but this is the way it’s played out so far and here we are.

Anywho… (I’m assuming there where no holocaustages in that part of Syria for Israel to concern itself with) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran%E2%80%93Russia_relations Israel has yet to, during this most recent war, make incursions into the Vatican or London or Berlin (as for as we know, but...

There’s something really really wrong with attacking a grain ship. I didn’t realize grain was part of that barter/trade/payment and wouldn’t have connected those dots. I assumed payment would have been from donor countries contributing cash to the cause, to countries with the 122 & 155mm rounds...

Yonge-Dundas in Toronto yesterday. I bet the property value went up.

I was just trying to work with your numbers and the date surrounding them. My bad. The first (not only) large-scale exoduses took place in the late 1940s and early 1950s, primarily from Iraq, Yemen, and Libya. The peak of the exodus from Egypt occurred in 1956, following the Suez Crisis. The...

Despite a rocky summer that began with the loss of a long-held Toronto riding and ended with the resignation of his national campaign director, Mr. Trudeau remains defiant and determined to run again. He is unswayed by public-opinion polls that show Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre cementing...

I wish. My paycheque would go much further. Single breadwinner family incomes were the norm. %’age of annual income towards things like home ownership, retail automotive costs, etc…where much lower. Post-war booming peacetime economy, but I’m assuming that’s not where you’re going here. So the...

Oh, these are “current”-ish populations, I’m assuming, where the number of Palestinian Refugees has expanded over the last 75 years by 1000% from its original 700,000 compared to the 850,000 Jews expelled from other countries in the Middle East at the same time (but they don’t fit the...

Uhm…no. About 1/2 (so 700,000-ish Muslim Arabs) left Israel about 1948, while the other 1/2 didn’t….& the half that left is still a smaller number than the number of Jews expelled from all the other surrounding nations in the same time frame, but you don’t mention those or why they also left...

Analysts are looking to the byelection in Manitoba that will also be held Monday as an indication of the strength of the NDP and its leader Jagmeet Singh. The NDP has won ten of the last 11 elections in Winnipeg’s Elmwood-Transcona riding with the Conservatives taking the other. In the Montreal...

Maybe it’s a Muslim thing? Israel is only 17% Muslim instead of 90-100% Muslim, so that might be a factor, but you could always ask Iran who’s behind almost (if not all) the active players in the “lob stuff at Israel” circlejerk plus other militant instabilities throughout the region...

In Canada, calls to ban “military-style” (?) weapons started in the immediate aftermath of the Polytechnique massacre on December 6, 1989 — almost 35 years ago. Ottawa launched the buyback program in 2020 shortly after the mass shooting in Portapique, Nova Scotia, which left 22 people dead…with...

Despite the defence department spending more than $34.8 million on new sleeping bags, the Canadian Army asked late last year that hundreds of soldiers headed to a joint northern exercise in Alaska with the Americans be issued with old, 1960s-vintage bedrolls. Troops who had used the recently...
