  • I’m sorry, this is focusing on one thing rather than the whole.

    It’s not just about military spending, it’s the fact that the neoliberal policies are effecting everything from food, to housing, to social safety nets, to etc.

    If taxes were raised on companies or high earners, or on unrealized capital gains, etc… then I’m sure there would be more money in government coffers.

    Instead, we’re told that the average Canadian has to tighten their belts and pay taxes because of saber rattling while the rich continue unaffected at worst, and at best are raking in piles of money through the government contracts (Carney’s “sovereign wealth fund”).

    Poland, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, etc… you’re assuming that the average citizen isn’t annoyed about the expenditure either, or that Germany and Sweden don’t rely on the MID for their economy, or also that their healthcare, housing, cost of living, etc. isn’t better than ours.

    Meanwhile 1 in 4 Canadians are going hungry and are asked to foot the bill. Instead of food, we’re going to be handed an enlistment pamphlet.













  • The procession often leads to violent confrontations between ultranationalists and Palestinian residents

    So lynchings and group beatings are downplayed as “confrontations”.

    The article also mentions that it’s “young” people to try and excuse it, but then goes on to mention that fuckface Ben Gvir was in attendance earlier in the day.

    To add a little bit of insider context to AP News that is supposed to be one of the journals of record - the past few years they’ve fired anyone that was critical of Israel to maintain their “neutrality” but there were no changes to their editor board who are bias towards Israel.


  • Clickbait title with the article jumping to conclusion

    Among a list of demands made by the Football Federation of the Islamic Republic of Iran is that only officially recognized national flags should be displayed during the team’s games, extending to those flags carried by fans in the stands.

    If you click on another article about the “Pride Match”, it talks about how poorly ticket sales are - seems that FIFA (and sports news outlets reliant on FIFA) want to drum up ‘hubbub’.

    World Cup Pride Match tickets still available as final sales phase opens

    There were plenty of tickets available for the World Cup‘s first-ever designated Pride Match when FIFA’s “last-minute sales phase” began Wednesday.
