You had better channel your inner Chretien and keep us the fuck out of this, Carney.

 

Iran’s nuclear programme is a grave threat to international security, and Canada has been consistently clear that Iran can never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon.

While U.S. military action taken last night was designed to alleviate that threat, the situation in the Middle East remains highly volatile. Stability in the region is a priority.

Canada calls on parties to return immediately to the negotiating table and reach a diplomatic solution to end this crisis. As G7 leaders agreed in Kananaskis, the resolution of the Iranian crisis should lead to a broader de-escalation of hostilities in the Middle East, including a ceasefire in Gaza.

Why do you refuse to answer the question I asked?

Obviously not. Where do houses and infrastructure come from, though? Like, what's involved in the creation of these things.

Tony Blair isn't even dead and he got reborn as this guy.

You dodged the question.

Where do houses and infrastructure come from? Does the government wave a wand and they appear?

I don't feel that great about a homeless person getting their tent vandalized.

You know why the US is able to exert so much influence over us? Because they represent a value-creation engine of 340 million people while Canada represents a value-creation engine of 41 million people. That's it. This is a bad thing.

Contact lenses make you basically impervious to onions unless you're chopping them in a totally unventilated space. To take a joke seriously.

They don't need a reason, really. 5% of GDP is moronic, the number alone is reason enough to pass. Not 5% of the national budget. 5% of GDP. Insane.
