Politicians, and people, are often deeply irrational. But it is often easier not to talk about it. In fact, it is considered impolite to talk about it. Case in point. In August 1914, British Columbia premier Sir Richard McBride spent $1.15 million of provincial money on two American submarines. That was about twice the yearly budget of the Royal Canadian Navy. Canadian provinces have no military. The man had no business buying weapons, let alone submarines. Let alone incredibly expensive submarines. A German attack on the West Coast was never likely. Germany did have cruisers in the Pacific f… Quoting @TristinHopper I regularly visit the grave of the B.C. premier who panicked at the outset of the First World War and used taxpayer money to buy a pair of random South American submarines.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
