It's insane that a country which suffered so much under a fascist dictatorship would want to return fascists to power.

F16's won't give Ukraine much of an advantage until sufficient numbers of pilots are a trained. There are two weapons that could immediately change the battlefield landscape. GLSDB's and ATACM's are long range precision bombs that would allow Ukraine to target Russian supply lines and ammunition stores far behind the front lines, including into Crimea. They both have backup inertial guidance systems in order to mitigate GPS jamming.. which is a big problem for their current guided munitions.

My parents were British and they used to have two washing bowls. Pile the dirty dishes into one and fill with warm water and dish soap. Clean water in the second bowl for rinsing. After a while the second bowl builds up residual soap so it needs to be emptied and refilled. I figure I use the same amount of water rinsing under a running faucet. But the soak thing is a great tip - leaving dishes in water to soak makes cleaning them so much easier.

As a Canadian I'm proud of my fellow countrymen for helping and accepting refugees. Although most arrive here with nothing, studies have shown they benefit our society in the long run. They contribute massively to our economy and enrich our culture. They overcome daunting obstacles and become productive members of society, and they make Canada a better, fairer and more inclusive place

The Patriot Front is one of the groups that perpetuate the conspiracy theory about the secret Democratic cabal of child sex abusers. So the emphasis here is quite relevant. It's like saying "anti-LGBTQ man arrested for soliciting gay sex" (something that also seems to happen with depressing frequency). If membership of a group is relevant to the alleged crime then or course it should be noted.

Que triste. He tomado está ruta varios veces y siempre me ha parecido peligroso las casas al borde de los ríos. Pero ¿que más? .. no hay por dónde construir. El sector es muy inestable .. siempre hay derrumbes, y los ríos vienen de la cordillera y pueden crecer muy rápido durante las frecuentes tormentas y aguaceros.

This isn't Haiti .. this is a US organization called Black Alliance for Peace. Apart from advocating against sending troops to Haiti they also want to abolish NATO and close all overseas military bases.

If it were a Bible or a Torah that was burned we wouldn't be having this conversation now because it wouldn't have even made the news. There is only one major religion that reacts violently to incidents like this. I think that's the point OP was making and it's a valid one.

Turkey won't allow military ships to pass the Bosporus in any direction while there's a war on. This prevents Russia from reinforcing their Black Sea fleet but also prevents Western navies from entering.

I hope they can use part of those tax revenues to fix our healthcare.

Canada is no longer a shining first world example of success (if it ever was). We used to boast about how great our healthcare system was, but it's had serious problems for years and those problems just keep getting worse. If I were a tech immigrant looking to move to a rich country I don't think I would choose Canada at the moment.

I don't know about Canadian news but Google has blocked bard (their AI chatbot competitor to ChatGPT). Not sure if it's related to this but Canada is one of the few countries worldwide (along with the likes of Iran and China) where bard is not available.

The cruise line is concerned about upsetting their passengers, that is all.
