    Justin Trudeau invited ChinarCOs PeoplerCOs Liberation Army (PLA) to send its troops for cold weather training at CFB Petawawa in Ontario rCo and Trudeau raged at the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) for cancelling the training after China kidnapped Canadian citizens Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig.

    Canada has relationships with many contries including China. There is no bombshell here. Our relationship with China is strained now because of the Meng Wanzhou extradition case to the USA and the resulting detainment of two Canadian citizens in China two years ago. I hope the extradition case will be completed soon one way or the other.

    This is a Canadian far right fake news site much like newsmax. It's not a credible news source.

    The Canadian government's bombshell secret 34-page file was obtained by Rebel News and The Globe and Mail and the two outlets published

    We also have a relationship with the USA. That's not a bombshell either, most already knew that.

    It is news even to most Canadians, it is for me anyway. But it's no bombshell.

    We are not at war with China and I have no recollection of ever being at war with China and I don't think we ever will be.

    You make it sound like Canada supports a China <-> India war. I don't think so.

    If they decide to use that training against Russia, another cold country they have border disputes with, you might have a big problem on your hands.

    Canada is not responsible for the actions of China and I have no reason to believe a war between China and Russia will come to be.

    Your current president took the word of Putin over the word of his own FBI and other intelligence agencies. Your current president seems to have the idea that Obama's regime was responsible for that but it was Putin who was responsible. I don't think Biden will make that mistake.

    We are not at war with China and I have no recollection of ever being at war wi
    h China and I don't think we ever will be.

    My guess would be that there will be no war with China because Canada will be overwhelmed and need to roll over. That is not a dig at Canadians in
    general but, when your leadership is known for rolling out the red carpet
    to them, and being more worried about saving their faces vs. your own
    national security, I doubt the Bad Bearded Man will put up much resistance.

    I bet it is also a concern for many Indians, who are now facing the results of that training in the recently hostile border dispute with China.

    You make it sound like Canada supports a China <-> India war. I don't think so.

    If Canada was assisting China in winter warfare, they were unwittingly assisting them in their current dispute with India, which they might not
    have forseen. They should have had some foresight, though, into wondering
    why China would be interested in their assistance. It could only mean one
    of two things:

    (1) to wage war with one of the countries they share cold borders with
    (Indian or Russia) or against other countries with cold climates;
    (2) to wage war on their own citizens (like in Tibet)

    Either one would not be out of the realm of possibility for anyone who has
    an ounce of sense. Apparently Bad Bearded Man has no sense, or didn't care.

    If they decide to use that training against Russia, another cold country they have border disputes with, you might have a big problem on your hands.

    Canada is not responsible for the actions of China and I have no reason to beli
    ve a war between China and Russia will come to be.

    They are already making agressive moves towards India. If Canada has been assisting China with their cold weather warfare and expecting them not to
    use it, I would say they are very much responsible.

    Only a very stupid leader of state would assist China with something
    involving war and not expect them to put it to use. Most leaders are smart enough not to trust China in that manner. The Bad Bearded Canadian Man must not be one of them.

    Your current president took the word of Putin over the word of his own FBI and >ther intelligence agencies. Your current president seems to have the idea that >bama's regime was responsible for that but it was Putin who was responsible. I >on't think Biden will make that mistake.

    Maybe not with Russia, but I fully expect Biden to make mistakes when it
    comes to China. I have to give him credit, though... I don't think even
    Biden would make a mistake as big as Trudeau's here.

    Now, once he has to step aside in favor of Harris, the USA might then have
    a leader as naive/dumb as the Bad Bearded Man.

    Canada has not rolled out any red carpet to China. There are deep problems between Canada and China at the moment and I don't know how that will all end.

    I am not in the military or in the government at all. I didn't get a memo on any of this and I don't know how or why any of this came about, but I do know that we try to carry on with different countries even in times of trouble.

    Maybe not with Russia, but I fully expect Biden to make mistakes when it comes to China. I have to give him credit, though... I don't think even Biden would make a mistake as big as Trudeau's here.

    The govenment of China is communist and generally not very forth coming. We all know this. That makes dealing with China difficult. In spite of that we can cooperate with them when that is possible.

    You're wasting your time. Lefties are deliberately pretending no evidence of fraud in this election exists.


    Its like a criminal sitting at a defense table and watching the prosecutor
    come up with pieces of evidence and witness testimony for days and days...
    and then stands up and says `.....yeah but....where's yer proof!'


    You have to remember the vast majority of media are firmly in the democrat corner.


    For months the main stream media sat on the story on hunter Biden and his laptop. Not to mention the vast amount of money he got from communist China.


    And the fact that Joe Biden was deeply involved, even when he was vice president. They kept that out of the news all through the months leading up to the election knowing they'd have had to work those cheat-machines so overtime even `they' wouldn't have believed the result!


    They are liars, thieves and common cheats. We know it, they know it, and they're so arrogant about it they don't even care who knows it.



    Something I saw recently;


    "What is the number of veterans in this country? There has to be more than a million. So many that REALLY understand violence and they're not the ones calling for violence. They are the ones who really understand violence, that have seen violence, that have committed violence for their country. Those are the motherfuckers that come when you break glass in case of war! You need
    types like us and people don't understand that. These people running around calling for violence, calling for revolution; You are going to open a door
    that you will not be able to close. And when those soldiers come pouring out their doors armed to the teeth to defend against what they think is an attack on their country and their freedoms, you are fucked!"

    YOU GOTTA PROBLEM WITH ME? CALL: 1-800-UP-YOURS

    The phone number Tim quoted is a number that is in service.
    A swami in Austin, Texas owns it. Probably does not speak English.
    The phone number I quoted is not. But it makes for a great quote
    on a coffee mug.

    It was a tagline.
    I dialed that phone same phone number years ago, and it was for
    a church in Georgia. The secretary answered the phone, and after
    I told her what the letters were she freaked. The preacher then
    changed his toll-free number to something else.

    Is it? The original seven words named by George Carlin are -

    * shit
    * piss
    * fuck
    * cunt
    * cocksucker
    * motherfucker
    * tits

    What should be considered as being swear words? Should those words
    be limited to Carlin's original list? Sure, Carlin was poking fun of
    the FCC. And television in general. But hey. This is an international
    echo. Not limited to an English-speaking audience. And as you know,
    there are far more swear words available than Carlin's original list.

    What about swearing in Cajun French? Would that be okay? What about
    swearing in German? Or in Spanish? How about swearing in Italian?
    And then there is Swedish, which uses the word fuk as meaning sail.

    The word fuck is not even a real word. It is an acronym -

    (F)ornication
    (U)nder the
    (C)onsent of the
    (K)ing.

    That is how the word originated.

    Either speech is free. Or it is not. Can't have it both ways.

    Freedom of expression is essential, otherwise there is no freedom
    at all for anyone. You are welcome to express yourself any which way
    you want. The same as everyone else.

    The phone number in question is still in service. Different owner,
    but same number. It is listed as belonging to Rahim Khoja, of Austin,
    Texas. I have no idea if he/she is even a registered voter, much less
    a citizen of the USA.

    Did the phone company find the use of this phone number to be
    insulting? If so, then why is it still in service?

    The other phone number, which I mentioned in a different
    message, is not in service. Nobody owns it, and is presumably
    available to whoever might want it.

    I suggest you grab it fast. What better way to promote Fidonet
    than answering your phone? With folks reading your number on their
    very own coffee mug ...

    The Politics echo may be an international echo, but is it not true that ENGLISH is the official language for Fidonet?

    There is no official language of the USA.
    There are sysops from around the world in Fidonet.
    Many of whom English is not their native tongue.
    So why should there be any official language for Fidonet?

    Policy4 states in section 1.0 that English is the official language
    and that all documents must be in English, but as others have pointed
    out, echomail isn't specifically covered in P4. It's entirely up to
    the moderator to decide what languages are allowed in "their" echoes.

    That's my take on it, at least.

    That's my take on it, at least.

    P4 is cyberjunk.

    The partipants of an echo "own" the echo.

    A sysop may be lord and master of his own system/board, but
    participants are the owners of their own voice.

    There are no moderators in Fidonet, as the word "moderator" is a
    contradiction in terms. No messages are screened, or pre-screened,
    in Fidonet. Participants are free to post whatever messages they
    want, in the language of their own choice.

    Participants who do not like one echo will move on to another
    that is more to their liking. Just like anything else in life.
    Just click the channel. It really is that easy.

    Hello Kurt,

    So why should there be any official language for Fidonet?

    1. Because it's stated in Policy4.

    So?

    2. But, I didn't ratify it!

    It was not ratified in any zone. Unanimously rejected by all sysops
    in the one sanctioned vote taken in Zone 2.

    3. Policy4 is an attempt by Zone 1 to disenfranchise the other zones.

    P4 is a lame attempt by a handful of unnamed sysops to disenfranchise
    all other sysops in Fidonet.

    4. Remember %EVENT THAT HAPPENED LAST CENTURY%

    It was a non-event, since nobody pays attention to it anyway.

    5. There are more sysops in Zone 2, anyway.

    Not a single sysop in Zone 2 voted in favor of P4 in the one
    and only sanctioned vote on the matter. What does that tell you?

    6. I'm not going to follow P4 anyway, what are you going to do about
    it?

    Write another policy document and ram it down everybody else's
    throat. Without ever signing it or telling anybody my name. Just
    like I did last time. Now. What are you gonna do about it?

    I think I covered all of the bases.

    With no court to interpret the policy document, sysops are free
    to interpret it any which way they want. That way, everybody is happy.
    And no reason for anybody to complain. See how that works?

    I'm a genius. A stable genius.

    A swear was used. He was asked to stop. Now you are being told to stop.

    Either speech is free. Or it is not. Can't have it both ways.

    It is not free speech. Never said it was. From the rules:

    # There is no such thing as "free speech" in this echo. You can speak your

    immediately correct boorish behavior. We're all adults; let's act like

    Not here you aren't.

    Who are these others that have pointed in the wrong direction that echomail isn't specifically covered in P4?

    Specifically mentioned in P4...

    9.9 Echomail

    Echomail is an important and powerful force in FidoNet. For the purposes of Policy Disputes, echomail is simply a different flavor of netmail, and is therefore covered by Policy. By its nature, echomail places unique technical and social demands on the net over and above those covered by this version of Policy. In recognition of this, an echomail policy which extends (and does
    not contradict) general Policy, maintained by the Echomail Coordinators, and ratified by a process similar to that of this document, is recognized by the FidoNet Coordinators as a valid structure for dispute resolution on matters pertaining to echomail. At some future date the echomail policy document may be merged with this one.

    That's my take on it, at least.

    Thanks.
