  • What are the risks of a greater escalation between Iran and Israel after more retaliatory strikes are exchanged between the two countries? ‘The West Block’ host Mercedes Stephenson interviews the Atlantic Council’s Jonathan Panikoff, the former deputy national intelligence officer for the Near East at the National Intelligence Council, about the possibility of a greater conflict between Iran and Israel, fears over the potential use of nuclear weapons, and more.
    Plus, the Liberal government unveiled its federal budget last week. The budget includes $57 billion in new spending, which the Liberals plan to offset with an additional $18 billion in new revenues from changes to the capital gains tax. Stephenson speaks with John Manley, former Liberal finance minister, and Lisa Raitt, former Conservative deputy leader, about the proposed capital gains tax changes, the housing crisis, and how the budget might impact the Liberals’ polling numbers.

    They did not raise the capital gain tax by 17% … they just increased the inclusion rate for taxable capital gain income to 67% from 50%……US already has 100% inclusion rate … the reason your startup’s would go to US from Canada is not the capital gain tax changes … it’s more fundamental issues like super expensive labour, oligopolistic markets, increasing low skilled immigrants while shortage of useful workers….

    The reason the world has avoided Nuclear War is because cause of lessons learned at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Seems the Modern generation have forgotten those lessons.

      Do you see Qatar getting involved or impacted directly in this conflict ?
      A friend is getting a good offer to work for a Qatar based company and is a bit worried about moving there… although he is equally desperate to leave Canada as it slides downhill?

    Technically it's to relieve the cycles of higher ratios of isotopes as it continues to escalate in placement of energy builded up into demand on need of it all towards positioning of supply in direction of energy use in compressed and filtered out ratios with demand on cycles of energy in time.,

    Israel didn't start this war, and has every right to defend themselves against terrorists, and why is that Israel is the only country in the world not allowed to defend themselves 💙🤍💙
