So we agree to disagree then.

You seem to think that massive flood waters just stay in one place and don't flow everywhere, mixing feces and storm debris.

My data is from StatsCan, who I trust more than your source.

RBG must be rolling in her grave over what's happened to her beloved court.

China is attacking Canada economically for example.

China is doing that because our former right-wing asshole leader, Stephen Harper, locked us into a Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement (FIPA) with China for 31 years, and they're now forcing its usage upon us. Source

You keep saying that but offer zero facts to back it up. Maybe it's time you find the data to do that.

I'm in Canada and you're wrong. Source

If only he'd kept his promise then.

Which was why I put the sarcasm "/s" at the end.

Just the front of the engine? Because that's what it looks like to me ... that the rear of the engine is still attached to the wing, but the front of it is sagging.

DelawareOnline reports that prosecutors sought a six-month jail sentence Friday, but defense attorneys successfully argued that since Waters was fired in January 2022 and still faces a federal lawsuit, probation would be more appropriate.

No, probation was NOT fucking appropriate.

As always, ACAB.

Mostly it's just unpopular because Trudeau's name is attached (just like Obamacare, aka the Afforable Care Act, was in the US).

A few weeks back there was a comment made here (sorry, can't find it) where the poster said he'd discussed the carbon rebate with a couple of guys who were adamantly against it and swore they never received the rebate.

Turned out one guy owed back taxes (so the rebate was withheld to pay it) and the other guy's wife received theirs.

And that's on the the lack of messaging to clarify the tax/rebate info for people.

Wait until the Cons win the next election and the rebate stops ... right wing voters will be pissed then.

Every day America shows me one more reason I never want to visit it again.

That right engine looks like it's hanging down on the front end. Maybe some bolts came loose or the fire melted a mount?

It's easier to apologise than ask permission.

I abhor with every fibre of my being having to vote strategically. The last 2 federal elections I haven't had to ... it was NDP across the board. This time I'll have to go back to it and it pisses me off.

Democracy my ass.

All right wing politicians follow the same route. Occasionally you will find a left wing politician who doesn't.

So your point was that I conflated metrics but that had nothing to do with the OPs original post?

Both mortality and incidence rates are included in what I quoted.

According to the American Cancer Society's 2024 stats cancer deaths are declining in some areas (ie: lung cancer) but increasing in many others.

In 2024, 2,001,140 new cancer cases and 611,720 cancer deaths are projected to occur in the United States.

• Cancer mortality continued to decline through 2021, averting over 4 million deaths since 1991 because of reductions in smoking, earlier detection for some cancers, and improved treatment options in both the adjuvant and metastatic settings.

However, these gains are threatened by increasing incidence for 6 of the top 10 cancers.

• Incidence rates increased during 2015–2019 by 0.6%–1% annually for breast, pancreas, and uterine corpus cancers and by 2%–3% annually for prostate, liver (female), kidney, and human papillomavirus-associated oral cancers and for melanoma.

Incidence rates also increased by 1%–2% annually for cervical (ages 30–44 years) and colorectal cancers (ages <55 years) in young adults. Colorectal cancer was the fourth-leading cause of cancer death in both men and women younger than 50 years in the late-1990s but is now first in men and second in women.

• Progress is also hampered by wide persistent cancer disparities; compared to White people, mortality rates are two-fold higher for prostate, stomach and uterine corpus cancers in Black people and for liver, stomach, and kidney cancers in Native American people. Source
