PM Mark Carney's Canada

Only when palestinians do it, or does this extend to the Lukid party as well?

Both. What part of two states wasn't clear?

Sounds like me summarizing actual opinions of actual UT forum members that made their views on the subject very clear.

Yep. Pretty easy to look at the posting history of the usual suspects and see how often they discussed/mentioned anything else that is either not about Palestine or applies a Palestinian centric view to something else (say the war in Iran). All on an urbanist forum....

To all above posters; you're going to get this thread locked and wipe out important and informative discussion of actual public policy in Canada with this nonsensical back and forth that has little or nothing to do with actual public policy.

Hey now. We have parties like the NDP who think this should be a major policy plank. So probably somewhat relevant to Canadian politics.

We're about to see how much the average voter actually cares about this stuff.....

Over half of Canadians polled seem to agree that there is a genocide ongoing, and that Canada should ensure arms stop flowing to Israel.

Over half of Canadians polled seem to agree that there is a genocide ongoing, and that Canada should ensure arms stop flowing to Israel.

And.... and an even larger majority support proportional representation:

Poll results on proportional representation since 2001

Poll results over 20 years show a strong majority of Canadians support proportional representation. See results from 2001-2020.

60% + also say they support a Universal Basic Income:

While the majority of Canadians would support a Guaranteed Basic Income for low-income individuals, opinions are mixed towards the idea of a Universal Basic Income for all. - Narrative Research

Six in ten Canadians support the idea of a Guaranteed … Continue reading "While the majority of Canadians would support a Guaranteed Basic Income for low-income individuals, opinions are mixed towards the idea of a Universal Basic Income for all."

Poll results are not necessarily indicative of voter turnout or the ballot question, or how badly a party will be punished for not living up to its commitment on any given subject.

Even to the extent something is a ballot box issue, that doesn't mean the policy question being asked would deliver the desired outcome. Is any action taken by Canada in terms of arms exports, or economic sanctions likely to impact Israeli policy in the least? I would suggest the answer is 'no'.

Are we going to attempt to interfere w/American arms sales to Israel? (No is the only answer here, nor could we if we tried) .

In the end, my concern here w/this endless go-round is that it doesn't even shift a single opinion among UT members. In which case, there would seem to be no point to it other than to antagonize someone who holds a different view.

Again, i will ask, please, lets move on to other subjects for which there is novel information or a genuine debate/discussion to be had.

Mutual antagonism simply gets threads locked, posts deleted and members suspended. Every one knows everyone's take here.

I dunno there, I can’t speak for others here, but I like to feel what I discuss is focused on human rights…not just those of Palestinians. And on all on an urbanist forum, because there might be no one left to speak up for me when they take me away if I don’t…so that would be real stick in the craw for my city living habits to put it mildly…

…but I can see how my views can be annoying to those looking for the middle ground though.

Anywhoose…I digress, what’s Mr. Carney up today?
