I agree with you, I don’t even think the federal NDP even had much of a message. I still voted for my local NDP because their message was great, they just didn’t win.

I’m mostly talking about the lost strongholds like on Vancouver island that were historically always NDP by a high margin with liberals barely on the map. But the panic vote swung the liberals to winning quite a few seats. Though to be fair, I think NDP would’ve still lost party status - it just hurt a bit more than needed

Would he have been as close to it without so many NDP seats flipping because of the panic vote?

People the Zionists* don’t like. Plenty of Christian Evangelicals also using it because they want the end of times to come about.

You’re right, nothing super about it, it’s just a majority

The majority also didn’t need to panic vote and oust NDP strongholds thereby giving a neo-lib banker the super majority he enjoys today. Not to mention the crappy and nepo MPs that got voted in because of the panic vote.

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.

Ah the annual hate parade and pogrom attempt of the wonderfully democratic and secular state

Sure, I agree with that rephrasing. If your only measure is whether violence would break out, then sure. Russia is more likely to go to war with Canada over the arctic territores than Israel.

But considering that the reports put Israel high up there with external interference, then, yes, i wouldn’t use “friendly” terminology with a genocidal supremacist state that supports rightwing politicians in our neighboring country during elections. Definitely more detrimental than a bunch of hick truckers not liking masks.

Love that he walked on to the stage with Bella Ciao playing!

I’m just entering this whole thread just now.

Like, sure, I’ll agree that Hezbollah have definitely not been a net benefit to Lebanese and they’ve used the resistance rhetoric to kill and assassinate Lebanese (civilian and politician alike).

But I can’t say that they’ve ever been the aggressor against Israel. Even if you look at the 2006 war that ‘started’ with Hezbollah kidnapping Israeli soldiers patrolling the border, they did it with the purpose of negotiating the release of hostages that Israel held and tortured for many years after their withdrawal from their occupation of South Lebanon.

And to also try and compare glorified bottle rockets to the ultimately destructive bunker busters lined with uranium that Israel launches at civilian infrastructure in a non symmetrically proportionate response - it’s not a 1:1 comparison and that needs to be highlighted and underscored.

Actually in collaboration with apartheid South Africa during the sanctions against them and using technology that Israel stole from the US

To use your argument, it’s not an “either” argument of “more of an ally”. Israel is not an ally to Canada and never was - let’s not excuse or normalize double standards.

Canadian security agencies literally flag it as 1 of 6 countries (amongst Russia, China, India) trying to meddle in Canadian affairs and push disinformation.

It’s funny how once China is involved, the Government all of a sudden cares about consumer privacy and data protection.

All modern vehicles collect a ton of telemetry through their telemetry units and these companies are being advised by consulting groups to monetize the data.

Hell! Even Israeli intelligence is hacking into these telemetry units because their security is piss poor

But, yeah, now it’s a problem when China might have a backdoor.

The US definitely is! Maybe not sending members of Congress as far as I know, but fully supporting separatists. That’s why I asked OP if they accept it, since they seem to be up in arms about China pulling a stink about Canada doing the same with Taiwan.

Would you accept the US sending members of congress to meet with Danielle Smith and encourage Alberta separatists?

Is it really their leadership when polls taken show the population thinks the IDF isn’t doing enough damage in Gaza?

Nearly 58 percent of respondents in one poll said they think the IDF is using “too little firepower” in Gaza

LOL! And here I thought Lemmy was like old reddit. But reactionaries is the new norm online I guess. Nobody needs your bad vibes dude, glad there’s a block option.

Hahaha I don’t care about the Star, just the story because it hasn’t been reported on and it’s as important as ever. Whitewashing with true stories is a common tactic used by the media, we all know that.

It’s ok bud, not everything is psy-op. This is Lemmy, not Reddit.

Unless you just want to angrily wave your fist at clouds…

It happens in so many counties where migrant workers are taken advantage of and scapegoated simultaneously, while employers and government policies are rarely ever criticized as the cause.

Not sure why people would rather blame someone simply for trying to improve their material conditions than the actual institutions taking advantage of them.
