The USA is only a half step behind.

Their skin colour certainly didn’t help.

Minority? To cops that’s basically a bullseye.

I guess we’ve reached the point where LLMs are actually smarter that a portion of the population.

Unless, they used Norton’s…

Sounds about time for a constitution change.

Maybe this is a bad take from someone with no military knowledge, but I never understand how “we need bodies for the meat grinder” so let’s do conscription is often only mandatory for men?

You’re either going to shove a gun in their hand and point them in the direction to shoot, have them run some equipment/weapon, or have them in a support role. Both men and women can do those things equally well.

Any very generalized physical differences between men and women would have minimal difference in the ability to carry out their tasks.

If they don’t have compulsory service, and voluntary service is new this year, how have they had any military at all?

It’s certainly a weird wording. Maybe German terminology and doesn’t translate well?

From reading the article and the linked article from there it seems like the idea is to get a conscription program in place but the first conscripts will be those who willingly joined. Then with the program in place they can move to “real” conscription. Maybe?

War crimes are definitely a thing. With a long history of definition and, you know, multiple international agreements.

Nope.

The King of Canada is the reigning monarch.

I had to look up these numbers to put it in an American/tRump context.

It’s about the size of the USA states of Virginia or Tennessee. About 3.5x the size of Hawaii and 9x the size of Puerto Rico.

It would be 36/57 of USA state, federal district, or territory by size.

They’re also butt hurt since their invasion failed at the Bay of Pigs.

None of that justifies a USA takeover of a foreign country. The only people that can decide Cuba’s future are the Cuban people.

Edit: In a European context it would rank 17/50 in size between Iceland and Bulgaria. Bigger than either Hungary, Portugal, Austria, or Ireland to name a few.

Oh yea, he’s right wing, especially financially. And a corrupt piece of shit, but the sound bites play well with the media. He may have some Canadian pride that’s genuine, but he’d sell out the province to make a buck for himself or his friends.

He’s/was more a dealer than a user. His brother Rob became well known for smoking crack, among consuming other things, while mayor of Toronto.

He does have a bit more wiggle room than buying or not buying liquor. He can assert pressure through some of the manufacturing in Ontario and energy exports. Nothing equivalent to what can happen at the federal level, but more than not buying liquor

I don’t think tRump would care either way.
