Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Summary

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau opposed any deal letting Russia keep Ukrainian land, saying it would encourage other countries to break international rules.

Speaking to a NATO meeting, he highlighted Canada’s $19.5 billion aid to Ukraine and stressed the need to defend global stability.

Trudeau defended his plan to raise military spending to 2% of GDP by 2032 after criticism of Canada’s low defense funding.

He warned against isolating Ukraine, saying continued support is crucial to stop further global conflicts.

20 billion

Man, I'm jealous.

His country has universal health care and isn't wasting trillions a year policing the world like we are.

Our healthcare system has been deteriorating over the last 5-8 years now though with many healthcare professionals leaving the force for higher paying US opportunities. It's lead to an annoying experience out here for anyone younger than 40 seeking healthcare.

Healthcare is also provincially managed

It's more to do with the aging population.

And more significantly a lack of funding by conservative provincial governments, as the provinces are responsible for funding the system and conservatives have been in power for about the past 6-8 years now in basically every province experiencing health system failures.

I'll let you in on something else. We spend as much taxes per capita on healthcare as America does.

Trump will fix that, right?

Zelensky has already said the war will end quicker under Trump, which means he's probably already had a chat with the new regime and is resigned to surrendering most of the land Russia have already taken.

And none of it will stop Russia regrouping and trying again in a few years.

I do not know if the war will end quicker under Trump.

But saying it will not end quicker under Trump (now that he's elected) will send you back to politics 101.

IMO.
