"Day of Free Enterprise Gone lan Mackenzie Tells House," Ottawa Journal. March 3, 1943. Page 3. ----- The House of Commons last night passed the resolution setting up the Reconstruction and Reestablishment Committee and the Railway Committee.

After almost three days' debate on reconstruction problems in general the House unanimously passed the resolution by Pensions Minister Mackenzie to set up the committee to deal with this problem. The resolution was passed after Finance Minister Ilsley had completed his budget speech.

Mrs. Dorise Nielsen (Unity, North Battleford) urged the committee to see to it that the mild controls over industry established during the war be not relaxed when peace came. Canada had seen unrestricted competition after the last war force the people through "a period of hell". This should not be allowed to happen again.

The committee should see to it that security and levels of living be maintained after the war, Mrs. Nielsen said.

Mr. Mackenzie in closing the debate said in his 23 years in public life he had never listened to such a constructive debate as had taken place on this resolution. The suggestions which had come from all sides of the Chamber would prove most valuable to the committee.

Referring to controls, the Minister said in his opinion the day of free enterprise had gone forever. It would be "controlled enterprise" in the future.

The resolution to set up a railway committee started a debate on railway affairs when T. L. Church (Prog. Con., Toronto Broadview) appealed for better suburban service on railways in the larger centres. "Montreal is the only centre that has a good suburban service. It should be the same in other large centres."

me, making a PC playlist: is Marina really an appropriate choice for an exhausted, four hundred year old grizzled war mage?

me, a split second later: what the fuck am I talking about. that's the demographic Marina makes music for.

#it is not bubblegum bitch but I did think about that post while I did it.#anyway look. the setting I was given was too good not to make the most tired mercenary wizard. I can't be blamed.#multiple DMs have been like 'here megs do you want to play amidst a state of horrific warfare?' and I'm like 'boy DO I'#it's not my fault okay. it is my fault that I make them wizards. but in my defense aoe casters are war criminals by default.#to be fucking clear this is a JOKE #regardless. my playlist slaps.#megs plays dnd #megs SHOULD BE ANNOTATING A BIBLIOGRAPHY BUT NOOOO #I gotta talk to the librarian tomorrow it's fine I can do it on friday

#witch hat tag #orufrey #nother small post (it's not small..) meek post. mild post #sensei QRTed the last one with a sweet message and made my week <3 #drawn bc she randomly announced that originally qif & eas were going to be more openly hostile with each other #but she decided after feedback that qifrey would. Restrain himself now he has children in his life.#like pikachu with togepi in pikachu's vacation. She didn't say that part #just love that since i always say i see them as having this kind of autistic warfare expressed in ways other than actual fighting #since their youths. but i guess we don't know how much they had to interact as kids #i just know they're both opposite ends of Autistic Kids: one do-gooder kid who gets REALLY irked when others dont follow The Rules #and the non-verbal autistic kid who IS one push away from actually biting people #Sometimes autistic people shouldnt be friends.#anyway why did she randomly state this now of all times. Are they interacting in the next chapter. But why.#the next chapter scares me. a teaser piece of art she posted is like.....What is actually going to happen here.#What is going to happen .#anyway hope all fans of my silly drawings are doing well out there

People who think Palestinians wanting equal rights to live on their own land equates to wanting to genocide Jewish people are actually telling on themselves

#‘millions of Jewish people will be killed’ your Jewish majority state is going to have deaths if constantly engaging in warfare and genocide #if it wasn’t happening because of that then maybe it’s because your Jewish majority state professionally harasses civilians #instead of any form of oppositional military force while invading their land #the arrogance #‘millions of Jewish people would be displaced’ have you not heard of negotiating #have you not seen millions of Palestinians been displaced from their literal homes #this is not to mention the amount of refugees in the surrounding countries due to wars already #if you think a lack of Jewish supremacy in the area is tantamount to ‘killing millions of Jews’ idk what to tell you #Palestinians want to not die and Zionists are out here saying that means they want to kill everyone #and then they will accuse you of not knowing what Zionism is or what genocide is or what apartheid is or what oppression looks like #they will accuse you of not knowing what the word indigenous means #clownery #Palestine #if you pretend being in support of Palestine is about hating Jewish people instead of trying to resolve ongoing genocide by a colonial state #then you’ve lost legitimacy #there is enough antisemitism out there that you don’t have to conflate a struggle against oppression with it to prove it exists #the same way you don’t need to prove who is endorsing to commit genocide when people deny that is what’s happening #the same way you don’t need to prove which side wants peace in the region and which side continues torturing children even without a war

UN expert: Israel is engineering famine in Gaza

UN Special Rapporteur Michael Fakhri says Israel's intentional starvation of Gaza is unprecedented. “We've never seen a civilian population made to go hungry so completely and so quickly," he tells Mondoweiss. "Never in modern history.”

I'm not sure why some people are surprised by this. It's an entirely different method and mindset of fighting when you have nothing left to lose and believe down deep in what you are doing. Compare that to untrained 19-20 year old idiot conscripts who would rather be on TikTok and have zero discipline and this is the result.

yall (correct): Do NOT ask Palestinians or ANY middle eastern person "are you a terrorist" or "do you support Hamas." What the fuck is wrong with you. Palestinians are NOT their government, they are people. That is incredibly racist, bigoted, hateful, Islamophobic, aggressive, fucked up. If you act like this, you clearly do not see Palestinians as people. Why the fuck would you ever even think to do that

also yall: Oh you're Jewish? So are you a zionist or something? Have you or any of your immediate family members ever traveled to Israel. Have you ever donated money to or attended a synagogue. so you gave your cousin a monetary gift for his bar mitzvah? interesting. Are you related to a Mr. Goldman Sachs

#it's cool so many americans i know are using this immeasurable fucking catastrophe and decades long ethnic warfare and apartheid state #as an excuse to finally relax the leftist-guilt sphincter that held the good old fashioned jewhate at bay #and by cool i mean it's a nightmare

Apas-95 doing posts about how they are right about what it takes to train with firearms and getting workers military training while having never shot a gun in their life is really funny. What's kind of less funny is that they openly encourage people to commit felonies that would land any leftist training group in jail for 20+ years and bar them from ever handling firearms again. If they aren't an idiot they're a cop.

(tags are important I just wrote too much there and don't want to copy it here)

#Saying that your leftist training group should pool their money to buy arms and store them as a collective #is insanely illegal and the perfect way to speedrun going to jail #Also most states have really strong anti militia laws that criminalize training as a group #like theyre so strong milsim airsoft groups have gotten charged #Which is why all public facing leftist Gun Posting Does Not Involve That Because It Is Illegal #People aren't posting battle drills bc they love individual gun ownership and the idea of shooting someone trying to steal their TV #it's because it is incriminating and will get them watched by feds #Apas' whole post is just encouragement to get your crew killed by cops or arrested #My other favorite post by them is when they were Authoritatively talking about how easy guerilla warfare against drones is #And they said all you have to do to take military drones offline was to shoot their radio tower #And uh. Pretty much all mil drones are either autonomously controlled within units by radios carried individually or satellites #It is kind of concerning to see people just make shit up to sound smart about fairly serious topics like that just for clout #it's nothing if not an indication that someone will happily lie to make themselves seem more competent at the expense of their comrades

[August 2021 – 0200 Hours – Virginia]

Silence rolls over as another car speeds past. In one smooth motion, a flame comes to life, faces illuminated by a warm orange glow. The tip of the cigarette starts burning and Phillip pulls the lighter back. Jackie draws in a deep breath, exhales, and their eyes meet. A slight breeze, and the flame goes out.

#OTD in 1923 – Nine Republican prisoners are taken from Ballymullen Barracks in Tralee to Ballyseedy Cross, ostensibly to clear a mined road.

Kerry had seen more violence in the guerrilla phase of the Civil war than almost anywhere else in Ireland. By March 1923, sixty-eight Free State soldiers had already been killed in Kerry and 157 wounded. Eighty-five would die there by the end of the war. The day after Five Free State soldiers were killed by a booby trap bomb while searching a republican dug out at the village of Knocknagoshel,…

I gotta do some editing because I've been putting it off for WEEKS but also I did read about the current nuclear armament climate and I need to lay face down in moss until the forest takes me.

#anyway i need to finish this book so I can work on my other much larger project.#which is absolutely a thinly-veiled analogue for nuclear warfare #it's fine we don't have to talk about it i just think about this everyday of my life #know that if you ever passively wonder what's on my mind it's probably the state of nuclear armament worldwide.#I am considering changing my icon for the election year to the nuclear jesus statue in the Vatican.#there are two things the Vatican and I agree on wholeheartedly when much of America fails me #and those things are nuclear armament and capital punishment. anyway #ANYWAY.

In the news👇

This is NOT over yet. However if you don't see that it is also exposing the court system at the same time. Then you're sleeping.

The top 3 branches of our government have all been infiltrated and are corrupt. The executive, legislative and judicial branches have sold their souls. 🤔

Remember That! 🤔
