Another example of unreasonable expectations and a demand for instantaneous response. Doing his job as Governor. Perhaps you will be better served by reading the Governor's updates rather than asking on a Thai forum. https://www.gov.ca.gov/2025/01/07/governor-newsom-proclaims-state-of-emergency-meets-with-first-responders-in-pacific-palisades-amid-dangerous-fire-weather/ The Governor is in the emergency Response Center receiving updates from Cal Fire and the Fire control specialists, He rightfully is not directing the fire containment efforts because the fire fighting professionals are. In case you missed it, the Santa Anna winds are ferocious this year and southern California is still in a drought. https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/CurrentMap/StateDroughtMonitor.aspx?CA The agricultural sector still demands excessive amounts of water, and has abused the available aquifer. The general public insists on wasting water. Easy to blame goverment, but people are unreasonable and selfish. How does a state governor fill a reservoir when there is inadequate water resources to draw upon? The state has been trying to reduce water consumption for years. What's the public response? No, we won''t accept it and we'll sue. The farmers insisted on planting crops not suitable for California such as almonds and pistachios which consume far too much water.When the state tries to have controlled burns, people protest and file injunctions. The mayor left before the fires started and was on on her way back once the severity of the fires became evident. There are municipal, county and state officials who have the responsibility for managing events like this who are also involved. In any case, she has either returned or is in transit. It takes 2 days+ to get back from Ghana. The people making a scene over her absence have a political interest in doing so and have ignored the fact that she has been in contact with her office and is involved in the city's response.. She was part of the Presidential delegation and has a longstanding relationship to Ghana. As a congresswoman, Bass chaired the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health, Global Human Rights and International Organizations from 2019-22.

Much if not all of the vape products available in Thailand are unsupervised and unregulated: No one knows for sure what is in the products often produced by questionable facilities.. Propylene glycol and glycerol often feature. Formaldehyde, acetaldehyde and acrolein, known carcinogenics, also feature. We also know that vape products rely on; -Nicotine, a highly addictive chemical that can harm adolescent brain development. - Can contain unsafe levels of heavy metals such as nickel, tin, and lead. - Silica and other particles that can be inhaled deep into the lungs. - VOCs (Volatile organic compounds) It truly puzzles me how some foreigners will extol the virtues and "safety" of vaping without any knowledge of the ingredients contained in the product being ingested. https://hub.jhu.edu/2021/10/07/vaping-unknown-chemicals/ In respect to the purported less harmful effect of vaping compared to tobacco, those statements have since been walked back or retracted by health authorities. Sure, vaping appears to be less harmful than smoking. However,it still presents a health risk for developing bodies.

They are in a no win position. A violent event like this requires a response from armed intervention officers. Constable Plod is not going to do much with his/her baton and it is not as if that mob will listen to 1 or 2 solitary constables. If the police are seen on patrol with sidearms the people will complain about heavy handedness etc. Really, one should be asking why this is now normal behavior and accepted as normal. The failure is with the UK population who have gone feral.

The low cost electronics are often made using recycled parts from discarded equipment. There is also a high risk of the equipment being infected with spyware. Look at this from the perspective of a criminal. You want access to people's information or their electronics from which you can engage in cloaked criminal activity, e.g. hijacking the equipement to access others. If it is too good to be true, walk away, especially from the Chinese manufactured brands. Neeed an illustration? Look at how Israel infiltrated the Hezbollah pager and laptops by offering what appeared to be legitimate equipment. It was, but included special spyware in addition to IED. It was a long term operation that delivered. The equipment was sold at a financial loss.

Why the hostility? If he didn't do this, many of the critics here would be attacking Meta for not changing. Meta is a public company owned by its shareholders. Zuckerburg is puppet and does not control Meta. On the contrary, anyone who has a mutual fund participation through the largest mutual funds in the USA has control. It only takes 2 of the mutual funds to out vote the spineless Zuckerburg. The largest shareholders include Vanguard Group Inc, BlackRock, Inc., Fmr Llc, State Street Corp, VTSMX - Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund Investor Shares, VFINX - Vanguard 500 Index Fund Investor Shares, Jpmorgan Chase & Co, Geode Capital Management, Llc, Price T Rowe Associates Inc /md/, and FCNTX - Fidelity Management has a legal obligation to manage the company to legally maximize the financial return for the shareholders. A failure to do is a breach of fiduciary duty by the board members and they are liable in the event of a successful shareholder action. Instead of attacking Zuckerburg, why not criticize the board? Quite a collection of people far worse than Zuckerburg. - John Elkann is CEO of Exor, one of the largest European investment companies, controlled by the Agnelli family. He is also Executive Chair of Ferrari and Stellantis - Charlie Songhurst a technology investor who currently invests in more than 500 startups globally.

You betray your ignorance. By any chance are you an elderly white male occupying a lower socio economic demographic? (i.e. low income, minimal education, without influence and power)

And yet the Liberal government obtained a national mandate as the result of 3 general elections. Apparently, you are not much one for the electoral process. You give a nice list of despots, but there are also many leaders who have been in office through legitimate means. What's your point? Margaret Thatcher - 11 3/4 years Winston Churchill - 9 years Franklin Roosevelt - 12 years William Pitt the Yonger - 18 years Wiliam Galdstone - 12 1/3 years George Washington - 16 years ; 8 years as military leader and defacto national leader + 8 years as President

Who uses such a rude and disgusting term? Obviously you are unaware that one of the founding people of the modern nation of Canada were the French. If it wasn't for France, the USA would not have achieved its independence in 1776.

You obviously cannot provide a rational basis upon which to make your claim. Why not just be honest and state that you hate Israel and do not accept hits right toexist, nor the fact that Judea has been around since long before anyone invented the Palestinian state.

How do people like this legally possess such a dangeous weapon? The Israelis don't let their own people have one unless they have been trained in its use.

I agree. Early morning is often my happiest time of the day. It's so energizing and exciting. The birds chirping, the gradual appearance of the daylight. So much to see and do. Sometimes I exhaust myself by mid day, I have been so peppy. 😁. I know that the golfers in my building try to be on the greens by 7-8 AM to avoid the impact of the sun. I dont play golf but I can understand their point. Flowers too seem to be more vibrant, and the aromas of some flowers seem so much stronger early in the day. And to be blunt, I am grateful to be able to live another day.

Israel did not take away land in Gaza. Hamas was in control in Gaza. The attack on Oct. 7 was not about the liberation of Gaza, but was for the destruction of Israel and to kill as many Israelis as possible. This was what the collective of groups who participated in the attack stated. Islamic Jihad and many of the participating groups are not interested in any peaceful solution with Israel. It demands the absolute destruction of Israel and the killking of all jews in the region.

So much negativity and the typical western demand for instant gratification/instant results. We start with our own individual accountability. When one person does the right thing it is a cumulative move in the right direction. Your attitude holds that no one should change because others do not. That is your attitude. The government measures have. had an impact. They are trying. Start with your own behavior first. Manage what you control. Change sometimes takes time and is incremental. Stop being negative and try and encourage positive actions. If you are sincere, discuss with your Thai friends and neighbors. I have stopped my Thai friends from littering, at least in my presence. Every little bit helps.

Put it in perspective. Back when UK and Europeans were the dominant foreign visitor demographic, people would say they were out of control too. Common sense tells us that as the numbers of any group increase, the greater the likelihood we will see of their demographic involved in inappropriate or wrongful activity. The Russian demographic in some regions is dominated by the middle aged males, aged 35-50. They will therefore demonstrate the activities that gets them into trouble back in Russia: Drunken violence.

Not anymore. The low quality, and often unsafe products serve little purpose. How much counterfeit vioagra or cialis can they sell? Do we really need to see variations of playboy brand underwear and all the counterfeit Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, Versace, Gucci clothing items? They sold crap, and blocked the streets. Few if any paid taxes . it is incredibly unfair to the legitimate storeowners to allow these vendors to cannibalize their revenues.

Absolute nonsense. Why do you demand everything of israel? Why should Israel declare a unilateral ceasefire and still have its people held captive and still suffer a barrage of missile and rockets? Hamas started a war, and Israel must impress on the Gaza population who supported the war , that their actions have consequences. Why so concerned about casualties? Hamas certainly is not and the general population says it welcomes death and wants to be martyred.

It would be far more effective if an effort was invested in explaining why they should not use the product. It worked in respect to cigarettes, so why not stick to something that works with most people?

Quite structured. Whattime do you go to bed? I would expect early.

Not knowing the circumstances of the death leaves many holes in the story. Your false claim about mRNA vaccinations makes clear that you are fabricating this story. If you want to promote fasle claims about vaccinations take it to the thread for the mentally ill who share their imagined plots of diabolical vaccines. Health care is a provincial mandate. it is not the federal government's mandate or within its power to manage.

You have quite the vivid imagination for conspiracies and plots. Please familiarize yourself with the rules of Canadian Parliament and the rules that apply to Non Confidence motions. Non Confidence motions that result in a required resignation of government are only allowed as per the rules set out in the Standing Orders respecting Supply periods. There are three Supply periods with the next one scheduled March 24. This is why the Parliament is prorogued until March 24. The Supply period is when funds are approved for the government. In plain language the MPs cannot vote a binding nonconfidence motion until the next Supply Period date of March 24., so Mr. Trudeau could have remained in office until then. Any non confidence motion proposed before then would not make it to the order docket because it would have no legal status. The PM remaining in place until March 24, ensures that the government has a functioning executive branch of government until that time. Extending the recess period is not unusual and is for the best as the parliament was crippled by the disruptive polemics of Poilievere. The NDP will be blown out next election. The MPS who would qualify for pensions have already done so or will qualify by 25 Feb. as is the case for Jagmeet Singh leader of the NDP. He would have still qualified for his pension even if an election was called next month as elections must be held within 37 to 51 days of the call. There is nothing wrong in allowing an orderly transition of leadership for a major political party. This was done for the Conservatives when they dumped Harper in favour of the mindless Scheer. Chaos and disorder do not serve the best interests of stability. There will be an election April or May 2025. No one wants an election in the middle of the winter or in rainy March/April.

Yes there is a threat in canada. it is called arrogance and the assumption that the support of Islamic terror groups will protect them from a terrorist attack. You can't make this sh*t up, but the anti Israel "progressive" mayor of Mississauga with its large muslim population was ok with. hosting a terrorist gathering, until it was exposed. https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/islamic-conference-caliphate-shariah-law-terror-list The one thing that Trump can and should do is to force Canada to tighten its immigration enforcement and to start deporting violent terrorist supporters. The Trudeau government aided and enabled by the NDP, made it easy for terrorists to set up shop in Canada. Canadians are oblivious to the presence of these people.

What? Go on, don't be so timid. Type out who and what you want to convey.

Maybe so, but it is wrong to hold people without charge for 20 years. If they misbehave. terminate them like Israel asnd Arab countries try to do.

Best time of the day for a walk on the beach is just after sunrise as it heats up and has scattered the mosquitoes. it is peaceful and not too hot. It is also less congested with cars and easier to breathe.

The Canadian federal government has no control over the delivery of healthcare in Canada. it is an exclusive provincial mandate. Blaming the federal government for provinical. mismanagement is unreasonable. Cataract surgery is available at private clinics and is paid for by most of the provincial healthcare plans. One does not need surgery immediately as the condition develops over years. Typically the condition is monitored and then surgery is recommended. Nor do you need a referral from a family doctor for the clinics. Typically the optometrist will do the assessment. The clinics can also do the assessment. Yes, there are waiting periods for procedures in Canada. In some cases it is deplorable. This is due in large part to a shortage of specialists in some regions. In other cases, it is the medical association's own strategy that restricts access in order to ensure specialist incomes are kept high. The waiting periods in some Canadian cities are still superior to those which many Europeans and Americans experience. https://www.cihi.ca/en/explore-wait-times-for-priority-procedures-across-canada Over 60% of Canadians. benefit from private healthcare plans. These plans pay for private procedures such as MRI scans, Xrays, lab test, phyiotherapists and other specialties, dental care and vision care offered outside the hospital system. Average Canadians have better health care options than US citizens and they pay less for their medications and their procedures.
