It’s funny to me that all these Ukraine supporters ignore that Ukraine is in the middle of a massive scandal of corruption with western money. It’s so bad that Zelenskyy could be ousted.
You’d think there would be an uproar but no. If it were an African country the reaction would be the opposite

If you have to ask that question you don't spend a lot of time thinking about history. The mess in Ukraine has been going on for more than a decade. It will not end there. The war is coming whether we want it or not because Putin does want it. We ignore that at our peril.

The only reason Canadian financial institutions were not falling over like their American counterparts in 2007-08 was because our financial regs prevented them from doing subprime mortgages.
This article argues that Canadian banking regulations are too tight because Canadian banks are safe, and since we haven't had a bank collapse in 40 years, we should just go ahead and loosen regulations.
GEE, I WONDER WHY WE HAVEN'T HAD A BANK COLLAPSE IN 40 YEARS!
