• [OT] Canada preparing to arrest Netanyahu

    From Rhino@no_offline_contact@example.com to rec.arts.tv on Thu Sep 24 07:21:02 2026
    From Newsgroup: rec.arts.tv

    Anita Anand, our Palestinian-loving foreign minister, has declared that
    if Benjamin Netanyahu's plane enters Canadian airspace, he will be
    arrested. It's not clear how she will accomplish the arrest. Will she
    dispatch some of our aging CF18 fighters to force the plane down? Or
    just shoot it down with some kind of surface-to-air missile?

    https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/article/anand-to-see-if-netanyahu-is-crossing-canadian-airspace-with-arrest-warrant-in-effect/

    Frankly, I have a lot of trouble believing that this is anything but virtue-signalling for the sake of pro-Palestinian supporters of the
    Liberal Party.

    I think she might well have done the same given the direction of the
    Liberal Party since 2015. PM Carney has been supportive of arresting Netanyahu; it's not just Anand. Very few ministers will defy the Prime Minister, especially if they want to stay in the cabinet.

    What's the point of talking tough like that and then not actually doing anything?

    All that does is make you look weak. All talk and no action.

    That's our Liberal Party staying true to its core beliefs: talk the talk
    but whatever you do, don't walk the walk because it might piss off some
    core constituencies.

    It's not unique to Canada. That's why MAGA--and not the DSA--has disrupted
    the USA two-party system so much.

    Do you hear yourself? That is profoundly ignorant.

    The two-party system is not statutory law but arithmetic, an unintended consequence that goes almost back to the beginning of the republic.

    A voter has no legal obligation not to vote or assemble with other
    voters in a way that won't disrupt the status quo.

    I acknowledge your correction.

    It's America. Voters are free to disrupt the system which is an unintended consequence and not the law. Some of the Founding Fathers thought we
    wouldn't have political parties at all, ignoring the Anti-Federalists
    who opposed ratification of the new Constitution entirely, which forced
    the Bill of Rights to be written and amended into the new Constitution.

    Obviously, there were factions in place already and it was wishful
    thinking that they weren't permanent.

    Only ignorant people ever think it couth to call other people "profoundly ignorant" as clever people tend not to have "ignorant" as their go-to
    slur.

    Also, MAGA is a populist coalition takeover of the GOP ticket and the next election will be an attempt by the left to copy MAGA and see if they can
    woo back the populists to vote Democrat.

    You're a dishonest debater. You take quotes out of context so that no
    meaning remains. If you were aware that populism is merely ordinary
    politics, then what's with the phony angst in this thread?

    I gotta say it was also pretty shitty that you forced thread drift
    without making a single comment on the original topic.

    Zero angst. Only pleasure. I love to see it happen. I live in DC and love seeing, real time, the populists pivot from supporting MAGA to supporting
    the DSA in the course of just 20 months. All because of Iran. It's very exciting. If you read angst then you're projecting, maybe. I an 56 and the more things change the more they stay the same.

    America keeps on getter better and better and everyone keeps on saying
    that it's worse and worst.

    It's a laugh-riot.
