We got a draft pick and a better player out of this lol.
Lots of immigrants who go back to live and work back there.
It really is sad that in the last 20 years under libs and conservatives the best things about Canada are slowly being whittled away. The compassionate egalitarian society is being torn to shreds.
Basically Jimmy is saying, don't trade for me. Or is suppressing the trade value for Miami. lol
Tai Yai and Thai are similar. Have you tried that?
Meanwhile, billions of narco money from golden triangle and their warlords and former warlords are living in Singapore as Singaporeans. This is just show.
Hello? The average income of this district is twice that of the province, and of the city. Half the residents live in the wealthy neighbourhoods in the district. This is our 1%. Inflation doesn't impact them. Higher capital gains tax does. The other half are in apartment buildings along yonge in mid-town. Fashionable and desirable area. The north boundary of district is called "young and eligible". Rising cost of homes impact their home ownership aspirations. Some of these apartment dwellers have swung to cons. Libs have fucked up big time.
Given the location of this voting district which straddles some very nice neighbourhoods (and some middle-class ones), I'm not surprised this turned conservative.
The operation 1027 was started with Chinese blessings. It was stopped with Chinese intervention. It has now resumed again likely with Chinese blessings. This operation declared 6 objectives at the start : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_1027 which oddly included eradication of online scam centers and gambling dens on Chinese border. It's not so odd when this was known to be an irritant to the Chinese and Junta had done nothing about them despite Chinese requests.
After the ceasefire, the Myanmar Junta was seen carrying out arrests and deportation of gambling and online extortion fraud bosses to China. What are the Chinese objectives this time? Are the Chinese not satisfied with the action taken against online fraud? Is this meant to help Arakan Army make further gains in the west by drawing Junta's resources away from there? Arakan Army has surrounded the key strategic Chinese project in Arakan - the deep sea port project that will link southwestern China to Indian Ocean providing a much shorter route to Africa, Middle East, Indian and European markets. It's also meant to create a second "shore" in the less developed more impoverished areas of China. China is playing both sides here. Who do they trust more?

Dig further into the story - the Indian group is an ethnic chin group aligned with one Chin guerilla army in Burma who are rivals to the Chin guerillas aligned with Arakan Army. This is the complexity of the situation in Myanmar. There are splinters within different ethnic groups, and they are all fighting each other for territory.
