You’re welcome, Scotty! You fully deserve it.

Don’t even need to read one paragraph down before being able to correctly guess this is another propaganda piece pushed by Scotty Sockpuppet.

The section on oversight is also critical. It basically gives the Minister the power to decide for themselves what information should not be made public as part of oversight, which is as good as saying there is no real oversight authority.

For anyone else who likes to go straight to the source, it’s on pages 300-302 of the bill.

The CEO served in Israel’s ground forces as part of the IDF. The company had contracts to send these trucks to Israel, but can’t get the export permits for it. Would if they could. Thwy would be happy making even more money off of ethnic cleansing.

Both our defence and our intelligence services will need a bit of cleaning out at the top. Both have long been too integrated and dependent on the US.

I had a passport go through the wash in my jeans, twice. Kept using it.

I didn’t even know that was possible. /goes to FOI own medical records

The funny thing is, they never seem to deny being a sock puppet when called out on it. I suppose because they don’t want an actual discussion where more people actually go look and see what’s obvious once you check.

Okay, there are definitely some forms of contact I would support, including but not limited to arrest, and none of them friendly.

I would rather Canada openly call a genocide what it is, and openly call war criminals what they are, and never have any contact with a monster like this guy again.

I had noticed Hotznplotzn, randomname, and Scotty, but not the other two. I’ll make a note to keep an eye out for them in future. Thanks for sharing.

The posting behaviour is hard not to notice after a while, and when called out on it they just tend to avoid interaction or use the same rhetoric of whataboutism or attacking the person calling them out as a propagandist.

With Scotty, who is quite active in the Canada community, I did notice that after having been called out repeatedly and met with pushback they slightly pivoted in their approach to include more posts that are pro-Canadian sovereignty mixed in with their standard anti-China and anti-Russia content, but, for the most part they just keep on going forward with the same strategy and methods, doing their job, following whatever manual they’ve got.

Our exports to US: $383B Our exports to China: $20B

Our imports from US: $247B Our imports from China: $60B

Such gaslighting. Much wow. Very gross.

Scotty Sockpuppet, always the same shtick. It’s laughable.

Who cares about Richard Gere’s opinion and thinks foreign policy should be based on it? It’s not like he’s some geopolitical expert, or even Canadian. This is just propaganda. It is of zero substance.

Demand for AI isn’t going to disappear even if valuations collapse. If the hyperscalers pull out of infrastructure deals on data centers being built by big Canadian businesses and leaving them with huge liabilities, bail out the big Canadian companies by buying them out and nationalizing the data centres. The big companies are saved from liabilities, the assets transfer to the public balance sheet, and Canada ends up with real sovereign AI and the capacity to serve inference from nationalized providers.

China has applied tariffs on a key Canadian industry in response to Canada putting unjustifiably high tariffs on one of their key industries simply to make the US happy.

So, wtf is the point of this? We are picking a fight with a major economic power over something that doesn’t serve our own interests, and we’re doing so for the interests of a country that is intentionally crushing and taking away another major Canadian industry.

China is also hardly at the limit of leverage they could exert. They could cause much more harm, even though they’re not. Why do we want hostility with a major economic power over this?

We should be working to de-escalate with China and find agreements that work for both sides, not fighting a battle with them over EVs many Canadians would like access to just to make the US happy.

It’s an accurate representation of how it usually goes on the internet.

Ah, another thread with Hotznplotzn and randomname, the two accounts always pushing the same narratives.

I see Hotznplotzn is now up to 3,300 posts in 8 months, and randomname is up to 900 posts in 8 months.

Highly productive work.
