Desert city of flooded.

This wasn't cheap or poorly designed infrastructure, Dubai is too vast and has too many drainage channels for it to be an infrastructure problem

Dubai received over 200mm/9inches of rain in less than 24hrs. That more rain than some monsoons

Dubai is also a DESERT

is real.

No kidding when people question why is UK a "developed" country...

    @lzg hi, perspective from

    Back in 2011,Gov decided to distribute laptops to the top performing kids in each public school. They did factor in some of the families might sell those laptops immediately, but they also provided free wifi for ALL students outside schools+unis+major transport hubs.

    10 years now, every single professional coder in the country either has a friend or themselves got into IT only because of the laptop. Some families still use their decade old laptops today.

    @lzg the "laptop scheme" faced crazy amounts of criticism even back then. But now its mostly gone.

    It single handedly gave a growing IT sector inspite almost a total lack of the subject in public schools and colleges back then.

    And these kids have now spurred much more development in the form of IT institutes and subjects across the board, as demand for both jobs and computer literacy have increased.

    No critics of the policy now, in fact theres demand for another round lol

    India, Pakistan attempted to interfere in Canada's elections: CSIS

    In the case of the 2019 election, CSIS said the Canadian government conducted what it called a "threat reduction measure" ahead of the vote, meant to "reduce the foreign interference threat posed by the Government of Pakistan."

    "The situation was monitored and assessed to have effectively reduced the threat of interference," CSIS wrote.
