There is a reason why PM Trudeau is reluctant to give more money for health care to the Provinces...not much of that money will actually go to health care.

The UK Tories will not face the electorate until 2024, plenty of time to complete David Cameron's agenda.

Is Gravitas that Putin-funded bullshit network where Indian people shit on the west??
I think Gravitas also shits on China as well.

Overall they may not be as anti-Putin as the Western media but that is no
surprise. Sentiments of people in the east towards various issues and political
figures are distinctively different from the west. In general Asians are not as
gullible as people in Europe and the English-speaking parts of the world.

Actually, Indians regard Russia as the kind friend which will give them weapons to kill Pakistanis. Plus, they hate the West because they had to have Britain run their country for 200 years due to their own ineptitude.

It was more of a power struggle than ineptitude, if that were the case Indians wouldn't be currently buying up the UK.

The English already had Bengal, with the Moghul Empire on rubber knees they wanted more. Primarily to control the diamond mines and corner the market for the UK. They were successful and controlled the entire Sub-Continent which included Burma as well. The British were hoping that India would descend into chaos so they could march back in. That didn't happen as Sardar Patel proved to be Gandhi's iron fist against the Princely States. After Gandhi was assassinated, Patel founded the Bharatiya Jananta Party.

The world's tallest statue commemorates him, Trump deserves one of his own.

My view is that there are a lot fewer wokies in Asia.
Given that their societies are very different than ours in many ways, I doubt our concepts of left and right translate.

Yes I was surprised by this hatred in conversations with People from India. Several Want violent revenge against the British all the gifts The game and technology and legal systems.

Ask for agents being smarter no. Chinese people free Chinese people in Canada Hong Kong and the rest cheered and celebrated when Hong Kong joined back into China. Now many of those people if they live in Hong Kong Are in jail. Jingoism Was more important than freedom and their paying The price.

1 forgets the Canada is 1 Of the few countries Old racism Is not normal. Of course with new racism only white people can be racist And that solved the issue for most of the world.

Canada Was much better a few years ago much better a few years ago But there is a reason everyone wants to come here Besides the Economic factors.

Indians love to hate the British. It's a major theme.

They also love to hate the Pakistanis though. And that too is a major theme.

Not sure if they also hate the Chinese. I suspect that they do.

Not quite true. Most of those in jail were too young back in 1997 to have
cheered the return of HK to China. Those who cheered was only a minority
and are likely still having a good time.

Don't forget the Hindu/Muslim/Christian divide.
Throw in the caste system and its probably everything darts is looking for in an anti-woke country.

I am Sikh myself. Pic below of a mighty Sikh warrior riding off to battle. During the Indian mutiny, the Sikhs stayed loyal to their oath.

Three things we hated when we were there:
1) Rented cars are really small.
2) Rented cars were stick shifts.
3) They drive on the wrong side of the road.
