If an armed conflict existed, these acts would constitute war crimes. Given that no armed conflict exists, the killings fall outside LOAC and require evaluation under domestic criminal law.

Canada ducks a recession, barely, thanks to Keynesianism.
In particular military Keynesianism.
Households spending less
Businesses spending unchanged (overall, big changes under the hood)
Governments spending more, especially on "weapon systems"
Imports down a lot, exports barely up.

The propagandists on X and in the broader right wing media are working to convince Americans that multi-racial democracy and religious pluralism are ackshually foreign and nefarious forms of cultural Marxism that seek to destroy "our western civilization." It's fascism 101. bsky.app/profile/seth...
Fascinating take on the un-patriotic nature of today's woke American education that conservatives like Chris Rufo and Ben Shapiro will work to undo...oh wait, I'm sorry, these screenshots are from a 1954 pamphlet by an antisemitic and pro-McCarthy organization called "Modern Paul Reveres." My bad.
