No, I still question the source. The Bureau is trash and it hurts your credibility a lot to use it. It's not the first time you've gone to that poisoned well, either.

And you don't think someone being hosted by the US could possibly have any reason to paint China as especially hostile?

You forgot this part:

I just wanted to see if I could make it light up if I accrued enough static electricity, okay?!

It's like he nabbed Stalin's moustache off his corpse when he died and glued it to his forehead upside down.

Great, I love that album.

Yeah, that's really sounding like a bad time.

thebureau.news is not a worthwhile source of information. It was founded by Sam Cooper after he was fired from Global News for his shoddy "journalism".

‘China’s fault!’, says Canadian reporter caught using movie footage as ‘casino security footage’

Lives ruined, no ‘traitors’ found: the cost of baseless reporting on Chinese interference

It's fine to be critical and wary of China. But when you sink to using The Bureau as a source it's hard not to think you're agenda posting.

Anyone with any experience with addiction understands that the desire to beat it has to come from within the addicted or it won't stick.

simply highlighting text to paste into a word processing file.

Did they just change the back and foreground colours to black and call it a day?

Do these people really think people aren't downloading and archiving everything they release immediately? Incompetent morons.

Can't lose your cheese in the wash if you never do laundry.

 

Older article but worth a read in light of current events, I think.

 

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.
