You know it's satire because it would could not be the RCMP, it would be the OQLF.
Believe what you want, but don’t try to control others with your religion.
If your religion bans eating cheesburgers, don't eat cheesburgers. You don't get to tell me what I can and cannot eat.
Simple as.
For example, in the Southeast, Greece and Cyprus are trying their best to hedge against Trump's best-dictator-buddies attitude with Erdogan. They are both regularly bullied by the Turkish military and half of Cyprus remains occupied by the Turkish army. For both of them, staying on the "good boy" list of the US is a matter of survival. Meanwhile, everyone else is squarely focused on Russia and placating Turkey, when Cyprus is already living the post-apocalypse of their defeat at the hands of a Turkish "special military operation".
Only with the versions of Christianity that want to impose themselves on others. Any religion and any flavour of religion that can function harmoniously with people that are not its members in the context of secular multicultural democracy is absolutely fine. Otherwise we have a problem.
Cory Doctorow has been proposing some very innovative left wing positions.
It's kind of hard for any public opinion to sway a PM whose whole career has been the role of a central banker, ie., someone whose job is to know better than the whims of the moment. I think this will be exactly Carney's blind spot, that he will be too hard to allow himself to not know better than the hoi polloi.
Let's acknowledge that that's a framing that assigns bad faith to one group of countries and good faith to another, right?
See the whole video. Adam is using a clickbait title but the problem is actually a local Dutch government not the bros themselves, and the solution is a tram train.
Eyes on the ball, it's the policies that matter. If we start seeing watering down of the policies, shoot away, but this on its own means little.
We (the rest of the world) need to de-yankify our trade relations as soon as we can.

UK arrests 83-year-old priest for backing Palestine Action and opposing Gaza genocide
(www.middleeasteye.net)
Bob Vylan gets flak for supposedly preaching hatred and wishing death to the IDF at Glastonbury, as if wishing for the destruction of a genocidal army is the same as advocating for violence against people, much less a People.
Well, in 1998, Bob Dylan sung these lyrics, addressed to the "masters of war" :
And I hope that you die and your death will come soon
I will follow your casket by the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered down to your deathbed
And I'll stand over your grave 'til I'm sure that you're dead
Hear it here, on 37:04: https://youtu.be/fHE6XBWM_yA?t=2224
In a sense, Bob Dylan was in fact more extreme than Bob Vylan, since he's talking about actual dying people as opposed to institutions.
In any case, Bob Vylan with their "Death to the IDF" slogan is in very good company.

Watch us live either in the field or in the comfort of your own home!”

Unfortunately for Europe and for human rights in Palestine, they might. Trump is sending Kimberly Guilfoyle as ambassador to Greece and her confirmation hearing has received a lot of attention in Greece. It seems both Ds and Rs are interested in helping the "loyal ally" stay balanced. In other words, so long as Greece plays the good boy doggo and keeps paying for US weapons, the US has an interest in maintaining the stupid status quo.
The only way out would be if our European partners took Greek and Cypriot defense and national interests as seriously as they take those of, say, the Baltics.
