When the deficit is $343B, $5M is nothing. That's an extra 0.001%. Woop dee fucking doo.

Also this:

"In 2018, trade between Canada and Lebanon was valued at $150 million, a 58% increase since 2013. Canada’s exports to Lebanon were worth $117 million, and imports from Lebanon totalled $33 million."

For a trade relationship worth $150 million, $5 million isn't much, clearly you need a functioning port in order to conduct trade, no? :lol

I swear to god people who post about politics online really need to educate themselves on how trade and the economy works.

But yes, Trudeau sucks :lol OmG tHe dEfIcIT!

Second angle appears to be on the opposite side with the silo on the other side of the fire and again the bomb comes from the left. It should be coming in from the right if these two videos are genuine.

^It's already been fact checked as being a false video.

Five million dollars is already being pledged by our PM for Lebanon???


Our country is facing a huge government deficit of over $343 billion because of spending related to Covid 19. We cannot afford to give money away to other countries right now!


Does Trudeau think that money grows on trees??? This is our taxpayer dollars! :facepalm:

dude 5m is absolute chump change to the government. nothing to get your shit twisted over.

Australia pledged money. Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Greece, Algeria, France, UK, US, Netherlands, Czech, Poland, Italy, Iran, and fucking Israel are all sending different forms of aid.

If Canada had done nothing you would have sat there blaming Trudeau for being heartless.

dude, I didn't criticize anybody, I'm actually supersized it's only 5mil, not 50mil. I guess Canada is really broke.

Can you provide a link?
Because I did look and all I could find was a fact check on a different video. not this one.

If you genuinely didn't mean to be sarcastic, then I apologize - it just came off that way a bit I think. I'm just tired of people tying literally everything to some stupid political agenda, just further dividing people when we should be coming together.

Also, you have a typo...

Great68 08-06-2020 11:47 AM

Oh fuck. Do you really believe that shit?

Right, rather than believe sensible explanation widely reported in the media, we'll believe this bullshit fake video.

You do? :lol

Teriyaki 08-06-2020 12:16 PM

Think this needs to be said again, and a lot of places.

When deciding between human stupidity and negligence vs malice, its usually the former.

Or said another way, Damnit, not everything is a conspiracy theory guys.

I assume you're referring to me?
I never said I believed it.
But I sure as hell wouldn't automatically assume the media to be honest about much.

Great68 08-06-2020 01:20 PM

You don't have to believe the media's honesty, but at least use some common sense and critical thinking before you post that bullshit.

SkinnyPupp 08-06-2020 04:06 PM


To even suggest a drone could carry that type of payload means you are willing to completely give up on logic because you WANT it to be a violent attack.

mikemhg 08-07-2020 10:09 AM

Trust me, Lebanon would be happy to blame this catastrophe on Mossad agent saboteurs, or the Israeli Army.

The Lebanese government clearly came out right away to indicate this was an internal issue, and laid no blame to any outside entities.

This was not an attack, but internet will internet.

So insane. I’ve moved a few tons of that stuff in and out of small mines. They always told
me it was pretty stable. Scary stuff.

Raid3n 08-09-2020 11:23 PM

It is stable. it's an oxidizer. it won't do anything on its own... feed it to a fire though, and your ass is grass.

Even just into a fire isn’t enough I believe you need explosive ignition

Or step aside because the alternative would be a violent uprising?
