Jagmeet’s take is different. He’s alarmed. This from a guy who wants us to pick a fight with India over Khalistan and to antagonize a billion Hindus by calling the 1984 massacre a genocide. I’d call Jagmeet a willing participant in a foreign group’s efforts to interfere in Canadian politics. > **[NDP leader says he's more alarmed after reading unredacted intelligence report...](https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/singh-nsicop-report-foreign-interference-1.7234315)** > > NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says he’s convinced some Parliamentarians are “willing participants” in foreign states’ efforts to interfere in Canadian politics after reading an unredacted version of a bombshell report from one of Canada’s intelligence... ---

Sorry, you have to know Jagmeet a bit to understand my post. There was nothing in that article about him indicating a willingness to interfere in Canadian politics to the detriment of Canada and to the benefit of a foreign group. Here is the proof of him doing that directly from his party. First, it wasn’t a genocide. Second, if we call it a genocide, we immediately start a conflict with a billion Indian Hindus who are generally friendly to Canada. If that’s not to the detriment of Canada, I don’t know what is. > **[Recognize the Sikh Genocide in Canadian Parliament](https://www.ndp.ca/sikhgenocide?source=20220216_WEB_GEN_1_AYN_NDPWS_NDP_EN_ALL)** > > The NDPs will seek official recognition of the 1984 Sikh Genocide in Canadian Parliament. ---

> [@AgeofGrace](#): > > Where do you align yourself? Obviously, you live in Canada so that must make it difficult. I am Canadian first, a Colombian second, and a Malaysian only on paper. I love Canada and Colombia. My only connection to Malaysia is that I was born there. I don’t go there. I don’t visit often. I have no money there. I don’t really stay in touch with the family there. I don’t expect either Canada or Colombia to take sides in the other’s conflicts. ---

> [@AgeofGrace](#): > > I thought you once voiced your support for the Sikhs No that’s not right. I totally oppose the Sikhs bringing their Khalistan fight to Canada. I don’t care one way or the other if they separate from India. Why drag Canadians into this? That said, I am also totally against the Hindus for murdering a separatist Khalistani Sikh in Canada. Really, I hate both sides in this conflict and wish they would both take their stupid fight out of Canada. We want no part of this fight. They can both go and kill each other in India and I guarantee we won’t disturb them there. ---

What a good idea. May I asked what happened to your healthcare because last you reported, Canadian healthcare was free for all and the best healthcare system in the world. No one pays for anything and every procedure deemed necessary was handed over to qualified doctors. ---

> [@AgeofGrace](#): > > Canadian healthcare was free for all and the best healthcare system in the world. Canadian healthcare is free for all. It is among the best in the world, although perhaps the Scandinavians are better. That’s debatable. I was being sarcastic when I said what a good idea. ---

No, Michele, I don’t. No country has the right to kill endangered species in their own territory as far as I’m concerned. ---

Reg, how are scientists able to know what’s endangered if 91 percent of life in the ocean has not been classified and 80 percent has not been mapped. ---

From ChatGPT: > Scientists determine which marine species are endangered through a combination of methods, even with the vast unknowns in the ocean. Here’s how they approach this: > > 1. **Surveys and Monitoring** : Scientists conduct surveys and monitor known species populations. They observe trends in population sizes, distribution, and habitat quality. Declines in these factors can indicate that a species may be endangered. > 2. **Fishing Data** : Data from fishing industries, including bycatch (unintentionally caught species), can provide information on population trends. Overfishing and bycatch are major threats to many marine species. > 3. **Environmental Changes** : Changes in ocean conditions, such as temperature, acidity, and pollution levels, can impact marine life. Scientists study how these changes affect specific species and ecosystems. > 4. **Genetic Studies** : Genetic research helps scientists understand the diversity within species, which is crucial for identifying unique populations that may be at risk. > 5. **Protected Areas and Conservation Efforts** : The establishment of marine protected areas and conservation programs can help scientists study species in controlled environments, leading to better understanding of their status. > 6. **International Collaboration** : Organizations like the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) work globally to assess species’ conservation statuses. They compile data from various sources to evaluate risks. ---

This was such an abomination when Trump imposed tariffs. I remember it well. Both parties responded with widespread derision. Now they want to impose tariffs and even encourage other countries to follow suit. > **[Canada to impose 100% tariff on China electric vehicle imports](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cm2n091v4m5o)** > > The move comes after similar announcements, including in the US and European Union.
