    The disrespect is extreme. They would keep their whore mouths shut if genuinely socialist countries visited. Norway visited last month to celebration of Trump power. Administration keeps begging China needs to make a deal. Obviously, Israel’s socialism is funded by US tax payers, and Netanyahu gets invited to warmonger genocide at congress with 50 standing ovations.

    Understand that the entire US political establishment is supportive of this disrespect for not overruling “fake national emergency”. Canada needs to make a stronger moratorium on US weapons and dump its existing F35s on someone else. Some escalation is appropriate and necessary.

        On a spectrum, Norway and Israel have higher social spending than Canada does, with better quality of life for those not apartheided.

          Social programs are not socialism.

          Socialism: when workers control the means of production.

          Means of production: anything that is used to create something by a worker.

          Social programs: state run programs that benefit some or all of society. e.g. welfare or employment insurance.
