Speaking of the devil, or dogs, was watching this video yesterday.

Not my intention to cause an internet prison riot, but this was a neon sign I honestly can say I never saw in my life, and unlikely many posters have either.

At 2:30 of the video.

The video about the Korean area of China. Support ethnic minorities!

Ask a Canadian or American born Chinese if they can read the sign, then ask how their governments are supporting ethnic minorities in learning their native languages.
This guy is an anti China dog.
Turn him into soup-rice, lol.

Canada to target steel originating from China with new tariffs​

OTTAWA — Steel originating in China will be subjected to higher tariffs to tackle steel dumping amid U.S. President Donald Trump's ongoing global trade war, Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Wednesday.

Wednesday's announcement included a new 25 per cent tariff on all steel products that contain metal melted and poured in China by the end of the month.

Catherine Cobden, CEO of the Canadian Steel Producers Association, said China is an "egregious" overcapacity practitioner.

Pretty sure that it is not going to be deadly unless he ate a rock. They did something similar with pennies on an episode of Myth Busters and it is not where near fatal.
You know I was actually just being facetious however the ""hit-by-shit " on oneself would be devastating psychologically like being pooped on by a giant curry eating bird.o_O

Steel production in Canada is a joke. The produce practically nothing at this point, they just lost a wire mill to American tariffs and first thing they do is try to tariff China.

There are zero steel rollers operating in Canada. A country of 40 million people with almost limitless energy and mineral resources does not have the capacity to roll I-beams anymore. Canadian Steel Producers are a joke, they just buy American steel and weld it to shape.


The Politburo needs to fundamentally understand that Canada cannot be treated as through its a functionally independent country.

Retaliate via oil and natural gas tariff is the most effective method.

into the crash.


This is a long discussion that is low on sensationalism, but nonetheless the TL;DR is fairly straightforward: they're convinced this was an intentional act. Below is a timeline of events created by the channel authors that features in their discussion:

The Wall Street Journal

that US officials believe it was the senior pilot, Sumeet Sabharwal, who turned the switches from run to cut-off. Key excerpt from the article:

A black-box recording of dialogue between the flight’s two pilots indicates it was the captain who turned off switches that controlled fuel flowing to the plane’s two engines, according to people familiar with U.S. officials’ early assessment of evidence uncovered in the crash investigation.

The first officer who was flying the Boeing 787 Dreamliner asked the more-experienced captain why he moved the switches to the “cutoff” position after it climbed off the runway, these people said. The first officer expressed surprise and then panicked, these people said, while the captain seemed to remain calm.

Reuters is also running with a less informative version of this story.

In relation to the credibility of these anonymous officials and their assessments: a few days prior to the release of the AIIB preliminary report, mainstream media sources such as Reuters reported that the operation of the engine fuel cut-off switches was a key focus of the investigation. The preliminary report subsequently validated that assertion. On the other hand, it's not entirely clear to me just why U.S. officials would be given access to the Cockpit Voice Recorder output in sufficient detail (i.e. including the emotional presentation of each pilot in the critical seconds after take-off) to make the assertions that they have, particularly in light of other suggestions (as discussed in the video linked in my previous post) that AIIB has held foreign parties somewhat at arms-length from the investigation.
