I guess they think "respectful and firm" is their best shot at taking a stand without alienating their base.

I don't think it's going to play.

I truly wish I had some advice for you, but I honestly have no idea what to say to someone who thinks a "news" source like that is worth a grain of salt.

I found their website (not going to link it here), and it looks like a bog-standard right-wing misinfo outlet to me.

The overall advisory level remains green, "Take normal security precautions."

The whole thing was ill-advised, and the execution makes it even worse.

In the picture, the white line crossing it out looks more like vandalism than part of the actual ad.

"I provided a specific list of demands the next prime minister, regardless of who that is, must address within the first six months of their term to avoid an unprecedented national unity crisis," Smith said in a statement Thursday after a morning meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney in the Alberta capital.

So it's extortion, then.

It's really impossible to discuss this without also discussing the fact that international students have been exploited for decades.

Make the weapons bolt-action.

There is no kill switch for the F-35, but the JPO’s statement points to the very real problems with the weapons system. In its own words, the jet “operates under well-established agreements,” its strength “lies in its global partnership,” and JPO “[remains] committed to providing all users with the full functionality and support they require.” In other words, the F-35 doesn’t fly unless JPO helps you, but don’t worry because it’s committed to helping.

The F-35 may not have a “kill switch” in the traditional sense, but the countries who bought it are locked into an irrevocable pact with Lockheed Martin and America. ALIS/ ODIN might not be able to turn off the F-35 remotely, but losing access to it can make it impossible to fly.

Only one country has escaped the F-35 software and logistics trap while still being able to fly the jet: Israel. The IDF’s contract for the jet allows it to operate its own software systems without ALIS/ ODIN and conduct its own maintenance.

Purple.

I don't mean anything, as I didn't write the headline.

I can only assume that our version will be called CORN.
