There's no point raising prices, as if employees aren't going to pass that on to their employers by demanding higher wages. Why do companies always try to increase their profits by raising prices?

Perhaps if Israel committed to giving up its nukes, withdrawing its illegal settlements, and giving Palestinians civilian trials instead of military trials, the Arab world would be open to cooperation

That's valid, for the record these are recent comments.

If the United States occupied most of Ontario's territory and displaced Canadians to do so, then it continued to exert control over the rest of Canada and gradually demolished Canadian homes to build American homes, then it started allowing American civilians to terrorize, murder, and loot Canadian towns, and so on.... Would you say Canadians need to just chill out and enthusiastically support the US?

Israel has illegally built nuclear weapons for its self defense, why shouldn't Iran?

A peaceful Israel needs to exist before any moral nation can tolerate it. The one we have is one that expands illegal settlements in Palestinian territory and starts wars of aggression and imperial expansion throughout the region.

No, I don't want that Israel to prosper, I want it to understand fear.

Good comparison.

I believe in an independent Canadian state but it must be a MAGA state!

Very charitable but valid interpretation.

Extremely poor choice of a loaded word if so.

Either way, reason to be disappointed with him.

Yes, it's that if you disagree with Israel and want representation that feels the way you do, then you can't be a proper Palestinian that deserves to govern himself according to Carney

Sounds like you're not Zionist enough to self govern if you lived there. Lucky you're not Palestinian

The clip is linked. He's talking about wanting a Palestinian state that's pro Israel and pro Israeli flourishing.

I guess he means a state that's ok with illegal settlements and apartheid treatment.

Maybe he means one that'll back up Israel's imperialist and aggressive wars in the region.

economic science is an ideology, it's not rooted in reality. That's why you have new emerging topics like behavioral economics that looks at how humans actually behave.

"Everyone acts in a way to maximise their personal profit" isn't a scientific statement, it's capitalist realism
