I’ll be interested to find out when the intrusion happened and what the target was. So far all we know is when the intrusion was discovered and when it was announced to whom.
Being against a government of a nation methodically killing civilians in its own borders is not the same as hating a group of people because of their genetics or culture. This isn’t something that should need to be pointed out.
Are people anti-Sino for staging protests against the support of the CCP for the Uyghur genocide?
For decades, Joe Biden has proudly declared that he is a Zionist, and he has repeated that claim since Hamas’s 7 October attacks on Israel. But for the student anti-war protests gripping the US, the words “Zionist” and “Zionism” have become a watchword – pejorative and emblematic of the violent state policies driving...
“I am a Zionist,” the New York Times columnist Bret Stephens recently wrote, “because I see Israel as an insurance policy for every Jewish family, including mine, which has endured persecution and exile in the past and understands that we may not be safe forever in our host countries.”
Mark that as another person who doesn’t understand what Zionism is.
Israel could make an arrangement with Christmas Island or some other low population nation to convert it to a safe place for ethnic Jews to live.
Zionism is about claiming that specific land (to the borders established under King David) as a Jewish (in faith and ethnic) nation to prepare it for the coming of the New Jerusalem.
Indeed. What about returning to Tims being a Canadian company and serving actual freshly made donuts? And as others have said, why not bring back mugs? And maybe sell travel mugs from the counter and allow discounted refills, and do away with travel lids altogether? It’s not like those plastic single use lids were a part of the original Tim’s experience.
While we’re at it, we can close down the drive through; that’s not original Tim’s either.

One day soon, AI will be cheap enough and good enough that people will produce YouTube videos and AI will summarize the videos into well written, succinct articles with appropriate images and cited sources.
I have friends who are Afghan who have had arranged marriages so this led me to be curious to ask, why does this practice still persist into the 21st century?
Yes… and someone to their liking has the possibility to be a more stable, longer lasting relationship. Plus, they’ll come with a stronger support network.
So if you think of a marriage as being to promote stability and perpetuate humanity, arranged marriages make sense. If you think of a marriage as something based solely on romance, the experts are obviously the people getting married.
Personally, what I’ve seen in western society is that people tend to live common law, and when a couple feels like they’re fairly stable together and they want to have children, then they get married.
This obviously doesn’t work in a society where you don’t get to try out living with someone first, or where birth control is frowned upon.
Hi there, I’m a registered nurse in Phoenix, Arizona and I’m seriously considering moving abroad because this country is driving me insane for a lot of reasons. I was considering moving to Israel since I’m Jewish and I’ve heard they have a better healthcare system there and pay nurses well but this war has made me not...
If you don’t want to move far and want a similar but more centrist culture, you could move to Canada — this would make it easy to move back in the future if you want. And unlike many Americans, as a RN, you could actually move without much difficulty. I know a number of RNs who have made the move and are happy about it.
Worth noting that the Prime Minister does not have the same executive powers as the President. If Polivere actually wins a majority of seats (unlikely), he’ll still have to work with everyone else to get things done.
It’s more likely the conservatives will win just enough seats to have to run a minority government and work with the Liberals, NDP, BQ and possibly Greens. And I don’t see the current conservative party surviving more than one election cycle.
“We don’t have a contract with our customers. They can choose to shop elsewhere tomorrow if they don’t like the offer that we’re giving,” he said.
Interesting choice of words. I spend over $500 a shopping trip, and am a PC Express member (which means I have a contract with them).
I haven’t been shopping with them already for a few weeks because of some issues I experienced at my local store. I don’t blame the store either; I directly blame management at head office who have been methodically stripping power away from local managers over the past four years.
