    1. The state has no right nor moral directive to engage in foreign aid. The decision to donate the property or earnings of individuals to whomever is called charity and in any moral society an act of individual free will. The same applies internally with the “welfare state”. “Efficiency” is a side show and distraction from the implicit acceptance of the compelled theft involved and a more important consideration for individuals where choice is allowed. The status quo incestuous relationship between the state and “NGOs” is a form of stakeholder fascism.

  1. I know Andrew Coyne is universally despised here as is Steve Paikin. Coyne has a new book out which I’m reading, The Crisis of Canadian Democracy.

    The premise of the book is that ‘democracy’ exists in name only in Canada. We’ve gamed every institution and circumvented it’s tenants. The prime minister of Canada enjoys powers that exist in no other place.

    Anyway if you don’t want to by the book you can watch a YouTube interview by Paikin of Coyne on the book it’s available.

    1. I don’t need to hand over my hard-earned cash to AC to know that democracy exists only in name in this shithole. Matter of fact, I knew it decades before that idiot did. Say, in 1982 when that piece of toilet paper was signed & I first read Section 1.

      1. She’s got history and logic on her side. The young college students (born in 2004 – *snicker*) just have indoctrination and an unearned arrogance on their side.

    1. “The UN response is … we need more food.”

      Loved that “Palestinians protecting Gaza aid trucks” *Hamas says*.

      Sure…’protecting’, that’s what they are doing, right? Typical of Reuters to regurgitate this crap on cue.

    1. “Halifax man” … three guesses. Nevermind. ONE guess.

      Police said Mahir Ali Ibrahim, 27, is facing two counts of forcible confinement and two counts of administering a noxious substance.

      Two counts of attempted kiddie-fkkucing is what the charge should really read.

    1. The first victim, the harrased person, was perhaps an observant Jew wearing a skull cap.

    1. Uh … didn’t the EU and Britain all link arms with Zelensky and promise to spend hundreds more Billions fighting that heteronormative bad man Putin?? Where’s the cash?? Where’s the troops??

      Euro-talk is cheap. REALLY, REALLY cheap

    2. Oh, The Gateway Fvckwit again. From Flinny the Fvckwit, again. Can’t pass on the opportunity to give you another chance to track, in real time, the ship they claimed to have been sunk in a huge explosion: https://www.vesselfinder.com/?imo=9330264

      When a rational person wants to know how the war in Ukraine is developing, they go to the Institute for the Study of War website and track terrirorial changes. When someone like Flinny the Fvckwit want an anti-Ukrainian fix, they go The Gateway Fvckwit and read how the Russians sunk a ship carrying munitions for Ukraine, killed 30 Western mercenaries, etc., etc.

    1. If we allow boys pretending to be girls into schoolgirls bathrooms and locker rooms … then why not an adult Venezuelan? He was just studying to be a Doctor … with a specialty in gynecology. Hey! He had a … Dream.
