Canada's not even on that Global Hunger Index. You cant take two different studies with two different methods of data collection and correlate them. Thats just bad science. And part of why China's is continuing to do better is that they are increasingly participating in a world economy and selling to the west and more prosperous free market nations, which has raised the standard of living for the Chinese. Its because they are moving away from centralized control that the country is doing better.

What a ridiculous comment. A 5 yr old can ride a bike, how many can operate a car?
Compared to what? Things are better for the poor in China? Venezuela? The US? What are you comparing to?
We have a mixed market economy with strong socialist safety net in Canada and it IS the best system because other systems have failed miserably. If you work hard in Canada, you CAN make a lot of money. But even if you are born an orphan in a poor family you won't die of hunger, because we do take care of the poorest. I worked with street kids in a major Canadian city and NONE of them were completely destitute. They didn't always have stable housing (often because of their own choices) but they had shelter and they had enough to eat and clothes to wear and a surprising number of them had enough for cell phones and cigarettes despite not having jobs. You cant say that about countries that dont have safety nets.
Well I think Jagmeet sank the NDP's hope for at least another decade. Getting in bed with the Liberals meant they weren't seen as an alternative, just "Liberal Light" and that obviously didnt sit well with very many voters. They'll be lucky to get back to official party status in the next election.
And the "Green Party" is just Elizabeth May and her scraggly band of identity actors. They cant even get their own party organized, there's no way anyone is voting them in to run the country.
I dont understand why having two different life circumstances make land ownership "unjustifiable"? That doesnt correlate. Life doesnt give us equality. Some will be richer, some poorer but why does that mean a citizen shouldn't own land?
It matters who holds the data. The US holding it is a concern. China holding it is a major concern because of their ideological beliefs.
The horse has left the barn and there's no getting our privacy back again. But we CAN keep China from collecting even more and having open access to our entire country.

I beg to differ. In Alberta, three years ago I bought a home for 65,000. Two months ago I bought another one for 60,000. The second one needs some love but it's livable. I'm currently building a small alleyway home by combining two used buildings and the final cost will be under 30,000.
It IS possible - with some sweat equity - but not in Toronto or Vancouver, thats for sure.
WHERE in life is anyone promised 'the same resources'? My dad was a poor farmer. My friend's dad was a multi millionaire owner of a thriving business. No one gets the same start. But you start with what you've got and work to improve your life if you want.
Will it? I'd say the land I own looks a lot more cared for than the thousands of acres of Crown land that's right up against my yard. My land gets tended to regularly, the trees and grass are cared for, the weeds are taken out and the deer and bears still get to walk across it and the birds and squirrels still live in the trees. No strip mines in sight.
Yeah 2 hours of a full length feature movie with really good actors might hold my attention but two hours of a random youtuber, highly unlikely.
As for consent, sorry, Im used to being a loving committed relationship, not one night stands with strangers while cheating on my fiance after picking up someone in a bar. I know what my wife likes and doesnt like and once the train leaves the station, we're not pausing to get 'informed consent' about every little change up. But you do you. Or someone else. Whichever :)
