Their point was no one else is covering it
You’d have to provide a quote for that, as I don’t see it.
FYI this ain’t it,
And silence from main street news.
I’ll refer you to this definition of “main street” to prevent further confusion, https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/main-street
I’m with girlfreddy on this.
I don’t recall watching this on TV the evening news, or hearing about it over the radio.
It’s good that the major Canadian outlets are covering it online (and I hope in print?) but it sucks that the visibility is not so high. Unless you’re watching the right feeds, it’d be easy to miss that this happened.
I’m partial to ecosia.org myself. Search while helping to plant more trees!
C’mon, I mean Harris isn’t perfect but the other guy has done a lot, lot, lot worse…
Ignoring the seriousness of Covid? Think how many died needlessly because of that. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/trumps-policy-failures-have-exacted-a-heavy-toll-on-public-health1/
Even ignoring covid, how many died under his health policy (or lack thereof)? Possibly over 25k: https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/hsph-in-the-news/quantifying-health-coverage-losses-under-trump/
Heck, technically he’s not even anti-abortion! https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trumps-abortion-stances-republicans-2024-gop-rcna147222
For anyone who is “pro-life” in terms of all human beings being and staying alive, I should think that backing Harris should be a no-brainer.
This is worrysome. India’s neutral stance and continued relations with Russia allowed it to successfully push to save its own people.
But the article points out,
Earlier media reports revealed various schemes to lure people from third-party countries, including India, to Russia under promises of lucrative jobs or other opportunities only to pressure them into enlisting.
So not just India. Are folks from places like Nepal still trapped after having gotten illegally impressed into the Russian Army?
Yeah, I think it should have been broken up at least with commas like so (or the appropriate pauses when spoken outloud),
Moscow agreed to discharge Indian nationals, who were illegally inducted into the Russian Armed Forces, during a meeting between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin in July.
Although a minor rewrite would be better,
During a meeting between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin in July, Moscow agreed to discharge Indian nationals who were illegally inducted into the Russian Armed Forces.
Amin Abed … in July … was attacked by Hamas security operatives, who covered his head and dragged him away before repeatedly striking him with hammers and metal bars.
Granted this might have been reported back in July when it happened and I missed it, but that was news to me.
And I think it’s important to spread the word on just how repressive and totalitarian the regime of Hamas has been, even to its own people - the ones that it purports to be protecting.
That’s a bit disturbing - how can someone with so little knowledge of how the system works change it without breaking it?
The Green party has some good positions that I’d be willing to support (such as having the US join the International Criminal Court), but at the same time I sense a big change from the days when Ralph Nader was the candidate.
It’s not that long ago that NATO was near it’s end in fact, https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2019/12/3/macron-stands-by-nato-brain-death-comment-in-clash-with-trump
Had Russia waited another decade or two, and it’s conceivable that NATO would have been retired.
But no, they had to go and bring it back from it’s deathbed: https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2023/7/11/offensive-defence-how-putin-saved-nato https://warroom.armywarcollege.edu/articles/ukraine-revived-nato/
Talk about unintended consequences.
The problem is. Hamas wants nothing to do with that. They don’t want a two state solution
they won’t accept or recognize Israel at all.
Agree this is a problem. They caused Oct 7 and they need to be stopped.
The innocent Gazans unaffiliated with Hamas, and the PA and the folks living in the West Bank deserve to have their country and their rights respected, but none of that should read as saying Hamas should stay in power, or even be allowed to exist at all.
Then your problem is you blame their denial for a two state solution on Netanyahu.
This is a misreading of my argument. Hamas != State of Palestine
Or you expect him to give the terrorists sovereignty anyways.
Well, not to Hamas!
Why would he have complete supporte for their sovereignty given what his country has seen at their hand.
Again, not to Hamas! For the past twenty years the PA has kept peace with Israel - this is the model to follow.
The right answer to this is why do they need a military. They are surrounded by Muslim brothers.
Yeah… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran%E2%80%93Saudi_Arabia_proxy_conflict
There are various countries today without a military force.
Let’s say for the sake of argument that magical wizards come in and fix everything. We end up with two states tied together by peace, with the violence behind them. (Model for this being the Troubles in Northern Ireland.) Or even a single Israel state with peace - for the sake of this argument, this detail doesn’t matter.
It’s a volatile area with lots of conflict between different countries, even if one excludes Hamas and related insurgents. Any country in that area would need a military just to defend its own existence.
The countries that don’t have any military forces - I imagine none of them are in this kind of situation.
I’m sure israel would offer their protection as well as allies near them.
In theory that could work. The problem in practice is that IDF has lost a lot of good will, and perhaps might be seen as occupiers instead of peacekeepers from a friendly allied country. Hence my suggestion for Malaysia to step in - Islamic troops from a far away neutral country - might be better perceived.
Heck, a lot of goodwill might be earned just by being fresh and new. Now that may not be entirely fair to the IDF, but politics is rarely fair.
The sad thing is that RCV might require a constitutional amendment to make it happen nationwide. See for example https://www.pressherald.com/2017/05/23/maine-high-court-says-ranked-choice-voting-is-unconstitutional/
I like it but I don’t see it happening without some other major reforms. Hence why I keep hoping for the 127 DC states plan…
Ah, this is a good point. From The Atlantic,
entice producers in other countries to step in, as many did in the months after Russia’s invasion.
Basically, even if the US alone dropped to zero, expect global production to boom as other places chip in to fill the gap.
Going green at home is a good goal, but what makes climate change so hard to solve is that we have to go green globally, or one bad actor (say for example, Russia) could ruin the party for everyone, so to speak.
As difficult as it is to see fossil fuel consumption go up temporarily, I can accept that it’s a necessary step on the way to being free from it altogether.
The silver lining being that, by not transporting this stuff internationally, we reduce pollution caused by the need to transport.
Shipping coal from WV to China creates more pollution than just burning it in WV.
Isn’t this exactly what Harris is trying to do though?
Vice President Kamala Harris said in Tuesday’s debate that the Biden-Harris administration has overseen “the largest increase in domestic oil production in history because of an approach that recognizes that we cannot over rely on foreign oil.″
Seems like the right thing to do - reduce global pollution in the short term by burning the stuff locally at first, while long term pushing for greener sources. Or am I missing something?
Well, to be fair some folks might have moved in a time when there was a territory that went by the name of the British Mandate of Palestine. Anyways, semantics, mostly agreed.
I would agree on the bit regarding Hamas … but I think one shouldn’t conflate all Gazans and their beliefs with just Hamas. Remember that Hamas took power only after overthrowing a unity government that was under the Palestinian Authority (which does still support a two state solution).
Regarding Netanyahu, the article from CNN you cite kinda shows the problem. Netanyahu is not in favor of Palestinian sovereignty.
In fact, CNN makes it very clear,
Netanyahu has never been a full-throated supporter of a two-state solution
That said, the security concerns regarding Israel are indeed valid. I’m not sure what the right answer to that would be… perhaps in the beginning we’d need to have peacekeepers? But perhaps we could find a neutral islamic country (who? Perhaps Malaysia?) to fit that role. With fellow followers of Islam keeping the peace and IDF having withdrawn, perhaps then Israel can feel secure while a new Palestine is built?
If anything we want to encourage this.
I like the example of SAG AFTRA hosting their own instance to be official, for example. Celebs typically have their own domains and websites, so easy enough to hire a team to create and manage their own instance that supports the celeb but federates. And you know it’s legit just because it’s on the celeb’s own domain. Ditto for gov’t agencies having their own instances.
I don’t see any evidence of lying from OP, rather it seems like OP only checked https://www.cbc.ca/news/indigenous/rcmp-shooting-elsipogtog-family-statement-1.7321343 instead of going through every page.
And OP is technically correct that there are three more names not mentioned by your sources, but that’s besides the point. You would no doubt find them if you looked - but I didn’t hear about these names back on TV or the radio when they were first reported (or even see it in print when I got the newspaper for free on the TTC).
So I would definitely that an awareness issue still exists in the public mindset, though at least it’s good to here that the House is debating it…
