Reply to comment by ferrficha in Tunisian election records 11% turnout in rejection of president’s reforms by nolesfan2011
I live in UK and I agree, that the country is in decline. However moving to presidential system in which parliamentary elections are boycotted by almost 90% of population don't show almost any hope for democracy.
Don't get me wrong I really really hope that Tunisia, the whole region and for selfish reason UK, will turn it around, but it looks grim for next generation or two :(

Good luck with that, your holiness. I wish God on your side for that one.

why you think this is the end for tunisian democracy ? we just changed the political system from parliamentary to presidential.
And Tunisians voted for this new change. All elections we held after the dismissing of the parliament were times more fair that the ones before.
11 turnout proves that. And We will have presidential elections next 2024 and Kais can be voted out if that’s what we want.
Parties being mad and boycotting the election is expected as now they have less power and that’s what we the people wanted.
Also the talk about tribalism, religion and Idk what is all false and irrelevant. The dismissing of the parliament happened because the past system was unable to deliver for the economy.
It’s all about the economy. You yourselves are experiencing the rise of right wing parties due to the harsh economic situation.

He’s welcome to return to his home country and apply for a visa from there at the US Embassy or a US consulate if that’s more convenient for him. This is the same process used by other Brazilians wishing longer term visas to the US.

Fuzzy synthetic blankets are probably heavy shedders as well. All goes into our watersheds.

Bet they don't get paid, it would have been cheaper and more of an incentive to offer a get out of the war free pass.

Hijacking this comment to beg people to please stop using microfiber!! There are so many other fabrics that work just as well, if not better. Without releasing millions of microplastics every time they are wetted, rinsed, wiped washed and ofcourse dried using a dryer. Please use literally any other fabric.

They can, supporting terrorist groups surrounding Israel (in Gaza, Lebanon and Syria). Israel routinely attacks weapon deliveries from Iran to these groups, but probably some make it to their destination.

There are different eco types. So they are cultural and eat different things all over the world. The only ones that feed on herring are in Norway, the ones in New Zealand have learnt to eat sting rays, the ones off Patagonia in Argentina have learnt to come on the beach for seals. All these technics are passed on to the offspring and they are culturally different.
Here in Canada we have a few ecotypes. On the west coast of BC there’s technically 3 kinds. Transient (also known as Bigg’s), resident and offshore. We never really see the offshore killer whales. They are the ones that eat sharks, mainly thresher sharks, and it wears their teeth down to the nub so their family members have to feed the old ones.
Of the residents, there are three populations. They even sound different, think of them like Scotland, Ireland and England. They sound similar but are different. These resident killer whales specialize in eating fish, particularly chinook salmon. Not all salmon species, predominantly just chinook. The southern resident population, made of three pods (J-pod, K-pod, and L-pod) have a naturally low population but naturally low population in the most trafficked waters on the west coast are the ones hurting.
All this being said, all killer whales are clearly dominant species, so the bio accumulation is severe. They rate high on many toxins from micro plastics to mercury. And the marine ecosystem there’s particular build up, even more so than land.
So yeah, killer whales are abundant as a whole, but not all ecotypes are. They even have different physical attributes and cultures. You, as a rookie, could tell them apart once told what to look for. And ideally, we’d like to see all ecotypes persist :)

>It's time to face the fact that masks have zero effect on the transmission of an airborne virus as contagious as the current variants of Covid -19.
What logic are you using to come to that conclusion? Just because people are wearing masks and there is still covid transmission? Covid transmission might be 100x worse if they didn't wear masks.

Yup, I was guarding the road going into Jerusalem, was attacked with everything from pineapple (not so funny when thrown from a vehicle traveling at 80kmh), a refrigerator, a moped on fire, a donkey, and of course, the ubiquitous bricks.

Didn't Canada recently ban foreign, or at least non-resident, purchase of property?
