  • I didn’t see what makes you say he’s imperialist here.

    He gave calm rational, calculated answers. He couldn’t have made it more clear that he’s taking about the distinction of Palestinian people from the armed insurgents.

    Israel was wanting to use it as an excuse to do their “lawn mowing”. You can’t tell me they’re brilliant enough to carry out pager attacks and be dumb enough to know nothing about Hamas attack.

    Sanders isn’t going to side with Global Intifada and cheer for Hamas ffs. That doesn’t mean he’s supporting Israeli government wholesale.








  • Machiavelli is not someone you should be taking lessons from on anything. You can do so much better than The Prince to understand how modern democracy should be operating.

    We don’t let a hereditary monarch call all the shots anymore. Machiavelli is irrelevant and frankly poor advice.




  • They got the infrastructure in place already and they don’t have the money to switch over to greenner options. They will, and they are making efforts. Don’t boil it down to coal being dirty. They got different challenges than us.

    They are getting that coal wherever they get the best deal. If Canada refuses to sell it, they’ll get it somewhere else. One way or another, they need that electricity. Canada has a much better mining standards, labour standards and human rights standards. We’re not using slave labour. Some of the other places in the world are.

    Don’t just focus on carcinogenic and polluting aspects of coal. Their life without stable energy grid makes their life more miserable. They get a stable supply, away fron wars and conflicts. They get to grow. We get work for our citizens. It’s a transaction, not exploitation. Developing countries can’t afford to make the switch as quickly as we can. We’re still burning coal for electricity.

    I’m not pushing elitism. Just saying that India buying coal from Canada is good for both countries.
