The NSDAP was a highly interventionist socialist government and was far from laissez-faire, sitting between soviet-style central planning and western market systems. Firms were private, but the state dictated quotas, prices, allocations, priorities, etc. They were defacto controlled via Gleichschaltung. The state had massive public works deficit spending to put people to work, and assigned jobs to workers. In this regard China is quite close to the NSDAP.

@mehdirhasan No he was a socialist. But even setting the Nazis aside anyone should be ashamed to be a socialist after Mao and Stalin. They should be ridiculed on the street, fingers pointed, people laughing at them. Even banned from polite society.

A reminder that no serious historian, academic or anyone who has spent even minutes looking at Nazi Germany agrees with this. Hitler locked up the left, denounced the left. He was not a 'hardcore socialist.' The only people who say this are... Nazi sympathizers & the far right.
Elon Musk@elonmusk

@paulg Hitler was also left, just a different type of left. Hardcore socialist.

8 per province and territory for a total of 104 appointed by each premier on a fixed day on the calendar every year which replaces the longest serving representative from their respective province / territory. So you would have an 8 year turnover for a new senate, but stability in the short term. Each province / territory gets 12.5% of the senate (13/104).

@NunyaBidnezJes So how do you think Senate seats should be separated? Keeping in mind that they were by design, set to represent regions, not population.

And my fave is Senate seats (see pic); PEI pop. 182,000 with 4 Senate seats. AB pop. 5,000,000 with 6 Senate seats. Fair? Let's change this, right? Ah but we can't. In order to change equalization and representation, we need to open the constitution by applying the 7/50 law which won't happen. (See pic for explanation as to why) We cannot vote our way out of this federally. The only viable option is #AlbertaIndependence.

You can only abuse people for so long, until they decide to fight back. An apology is owed. And for Albertans, an apology will not be enough. For starters, they need to fix the seats issue, among many many other things I hope they do not leave. But I do not blame my friends.

@Tablesalt13 History has shown you can take over a country in under 4 months with with 33.1% of the popular vote. Carney didn't even need a Reichstag fire

Mark Carney got 30.1% of the vote from eligible voters in Canada and then he stole a majority. Total power with 30% of the vote. and hes over here telling Alberta that a 50% + 1 referendum is not good enough to leave Canada. F'k Mark Carney!

They are indeed retarded. They don’t even understand that if you fought Russians in Ukraine (wasn’t a country in WWII, was a state controlled by Moscow) then you were fighting with the Nazi’s. And that whole yellow Polish territory they hold, ya via invasion of Poland 17 days after Germany.

An eyewitness captured the dramatic moment a car plunged into a fast-moving river in east-central China after a damaged bridge collapsed beneath it. Authorities said the vehicle had been evacuated before it fell.

@jkenney This would start a war. Alberta could either stop refined products on TM and BC would run out of gasoline and Diesel, or just stop any one of the natural gas mainlines. It’s mutually assured destruction.

Of course it would not be in the commercial interests of the federal government to suspend shipments on Trans Mountain (TM.) But that’s not the point. The point is that in a worse case scenario, such as an Alberta unilateral declaration of independence (UDI,) Canada would have enormous leverage, including the ability to block Alberta energy exports. This is most obviously the case re: federally-owned TM. Apart from their ability to reduce or stop shipments, do you really think the federal or BC governments would continue to advance Trans Mountain optimization, which is currently the best bet that we have for increased egress? Do you really think the federal government would maintain its MOU commitment to support the construction of a de novo West Coast pipeline? Even if it wanted to, federal paramountcy over interprovincial pipelines, grounded in 92(10)(a) would cease to exist following secession, so BC governments could find ways to block operation or construction of pipelines going through their territory, with Alberta having no recourse to Ottawa. Currently all of our pipelines exports to the US pass through other Canadian provinces first. That includes the incomplete KXL route, which passes through Saskatchewan. Since the Republic of Alberta would be starting without an equivalent to the 1977 Canada-U.S. Transit Pipelines Treaty, Ottawa could also suspend the operation of those other pipelines, e.g. the Enbridge Mainline. Canada and BC could also extract further concessions (eg tolls or tariffs) in order to allow Alberta natural gas to feed into the growing number of West Coast LNG terminals. Separatists respond to these realities by saying “don’t worry - we’ll build pipelines to the US and export from there!” First of all, who is “we?” What companies are going to risk tens of $ billions to spend years building a new system of pipelines in the midst of such massive political and legal uncertainty, including the risk of a Biden style abrogation of pipeline permits by the US? Secondly, the separatists seem completely unaware that the left wing US West Coast governments have effectively blocked the export of carbon intensive fuels from their ports. That’s why US produced thermal coal is exported from the Port of Vancouver, BC. Strange but true: Canada’s West Coast ports are far friendlier to hydro carbon exports than West Coast US ports! All of this (and much more) effectively gives Ottawa the clear upper hand in prospective negotiations over everything, e.g.: -debt allocation; - valuation & sale of federal assets (such as military bases, RCMP facilities, federal lands, including airports, etc.;) - allocation of CPP assets; - continuation of OAS / GIS benefits; - termination of citizenship; - visa and work permit exemptions for Albertans travelling to Canada; - export access to the Canadian market; - partition of Alberta per the predictable demands of democratic majorities in Edmonton, Calgary, Indian Reserves & elsewhere;) - support for or blockage of Alberta’s accession to critical international bodies & treaties, like CUSMA, or IATA to allow for international flights, etc.; and - countless other issues. I agree that exercising its massive leverage in such a scenario would be damaging to Canada. But it would be far more damaging to Alberta. Whatever grievances Albertans have with Ottawa cannot be remedied by becoming a landlocked statelet. The vast majority of Albertans know this. It is beyond absurd that we are going to spend the next several months, and possibly years to come, arguing endlessly over this.
Dwayne Chomyn@Citizen004

Shutting down TMX is a point I've heard before and it's a stretch. Give up the tolls? Abandon stock for BC refineries? Vancouver is the countries largest port and Prince Rupert is Canada's sixth largest port with goods that need to cross Alberta. And Manitoba and Saskatchewan have to get grain and potash out. BC would be isolated if a deal wasn't reached. That's a point that has never landed with me. The interests to make a deal would be reciprocal.

Instantly because of closing costs and the opportunity cost of deposit. It’s explained here youtu.be/j4H9LL7A-nQ Basically if monthly rent x240 = home price then it’s break even. If that number is less than what you can buy you’re better off renting. Your asset is also illiquid now, this is why many are “house poor”.

Canadian politician Chrystia Freeland, Canada's former deputy prime minister and finance minister, was confronted during an event in Toronto "Thousands murdered because of you. How many children have you orphaned? You monster. You Zionist Nazi dog" "What do you have to say for yourself, you animal? Get out. You disgusting animal. Get out. You're a fucking Nazi, You're the butcher of Gaza" "You animal. And you go around with a book deal? You're making money off of genocide?"
