The same thing other countries could offer, trained personnel  Why do you think Cuba sends its doctors abroad? Hint it's because they are trained doctors.

Why on earth would America want to take on the burden of an enormous northern state when we're already their largest trading partner, and we practically fire-sale our resources to them?

While the USA certainly does a lot of sleezy stuff abroad, they haven't went so far as deploying loving full on conventional brigades into another country and pretend they are "volunteers". Man, for someone who touts himself as a badass hard-charger, you really are pretty drat naive about foreign politics. I was wondering when the Russophiles/Useful Idiots would start coming out to the thread, there's always a few.

so we keep seeing these CPC tweets that are  as all gently caress but I have to ask: doesn't "the left" do the same thing when they aren't in power? I'm just curious if we are seeing more of it or if it is just their turn to poo poo on those in power

I would dispute the idea that any major political party meaningfully represents "the left" at this point but the NDP does send all kinds of idiotic mailers and e-mails that aren't any more grounded in reality than the stuff the conservatives send. A good example was when Mulcair sent me a letter warning that I might be on Harper's "enemy list". Or those endless boasts about how the NDP was only a small numbers of seats away from a majority and was the only party that could hope to stop Stephen Harper.

The CPCs core which is about 33% of Canadians apparently eats all this stuff up like candy because "Balanced Budgets" and "Personal Accountibility" are the cornerstones of strong government. When the CPC does it though its justifiable or slander.

Yes this is all perfectly valid justification for why Canada should pivot it's foreign policy to get closer to Russia. I know you wouldn't make this argument but let me remind you that the person I replied to literally is making that argument.

Why is it so difficult to find current interest rates for government debt? There has to be more than a Fraser Institute PDF from 2014.
