  2. "But whether variation is selected naturally by the environment, or artificially by breeders for a particular trait, it remains just that, ‘selection’ from existing genetic information. Nothing new is created." "Today’s Darwinists point to mutations as the mechanism which provides this novelty from which ‘Natural Selection’ selects. Evolutionists should then focus on mutations to defend their theory, instead of ‘Natural Selection’. When pressed for examples of novel genetic information or body organs created by mutation, they typically point to instances such as wingless beetles4 on islands, or the flightless cormorant on the Galapagos islands.5 The problem with these examples is obvious. While they may confer a benefit to the creatures in a specific, very unusual environment, nothing ‘new’ is added to the DNA or creatures’ body parts. They actually involve a loss or corruption of existing genetic information.6" Natural selection ≠ evolution (creation.com)

  4. If you haven't studied it, then how do you know? Do you take the word of humanists who have no proof of anything? quote Natural Selection (≠) Evolution This is an important ‘equation’ that all people should be aware of, namely ‘Natural Selection does not equal (≠) Evolution. Christians should know it so they do not get conned, and evolutionists should know it as a reminder that they still have lots of work to do to be able to claim that they have a mechanism for evolution. If we think of the word ‘selection’, in our common, daily experience, we select from something pre-existing. How often we hear an example of natural selection being used as proof of evolution. Changing sizes, colours, skin patterns and shapes are often paraded as evolution’s honour roll. This bait-and-switch tactic has been so often exposed for what it is, it’s a wonder that it is still used, or that people are still taken in by it. The very term should put people on their guard that something is missing. If we think of the word ‘selection’, in our common, daily experience, we select from something pre-existing. Think of being asked to select cards from a pack. You could select cards from a pack every second for the rest of your life and all you would only ever produce is different groups of the same cards. You would not have created anything new—only re-arranged cards, or removed cards or added cards from another pack. If an illusionist asks you to select a card from a pack, and surprises you with something new, you know it is an illusion, a sleight of hand. We need to learn to see the evolutionists’ sleight of hand when they claim to have pulled something ‘new’ out of the pack. Selection is always from a pre-existing series or range; it creates nothing new. This illustration applies equally to ‘selection’ in the biological context. The all-wise Creator knew the different environments that His creatures would have to adapt to after the Fall and Curse, and particularly after the Flood of Noah, in order to survive. He included in the genetic information of each ‘kind’ of creature He created a smorgasbord of variety in their makeup. This includes those features that would interact with the environment: the overall size of a plant, animal or person; the size of individual organs or limbs such as beaks and noses, leaf sizes, skin colours, hair and feather lengths, textures and colours. All of these and many more variations were programmed into the DNA of His creatures in order that as populations of the various kinds moved into new environments, expression of those variations enabled individuals to survive those environments. Individuals with those variations then passed them on to their young. When these variations and the habitat of the population expressing that variation are distinct enough, we might distinguish different ‘species’. In all of this selection process, new information is never added. It can be conserved or lost, but never gained. unquote Natural selection ≠ evolution (creation.com)
  5. We are not talking about "pollution". Some oppose the forest industry. The forest industry has brought good-paying jobs to tens of thousands of people and allowed them to live meaningful lives, raise families, own homes, vehicles, send their kids to be educated and have careers. It is what made life possible for much of the population of B.C. It has provided lumber to build millions of homes in Canada and other countries. I wouldn't call that "pollution". Shows complete ignorance or childish behavior. You don't respect human rights. What you say is drivel.
  6. For the short term that would significantly ease the problem. In time inventory would adjust and the problem would creep up again but during that time gov'ts can find ways to encourage developers to build more homes and for more landlords to return to the market to provide more spaces. And that also drops housing purchase prices (or holds them while salaries go up over time) so you get a win win - more people can buy, which frees up rentals and there's more places to buy and rent which keeps competition fair. But yes - they're just beating around the bush.
  7. Demand and thus rent and housing prices would drop with fewer immigrants and foreign residents annually. They keep beating around the root of the problem.
  8. https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/trudeau-housing-renters-bill-of-rights Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his plan for a new Canadian Renters’ Bill of Rights Wednesday to help young people get a foothold in the housing market. His proposed plan contains three main items: Renters would know a unit’s rental price history to bargain appropriately Creating a federal legal aid fund to help renters right bad-faith evictions Making credit bureaus take rent payments into account when calculating someone’s credit score, in an effort to help them qualify for a mortgage Trudeau made the announcement ahead of the 2024 federal budget from East Vancouver, the most expensive city in the country for renters. So. This is how desperate and useless he is. THis is a provincial matter and all provinces already have their own residential tenanacy boards and laws to protect renters, and they are extensive. knowing what the last guy paid is USELESS. Creating a legal aid fund that landlords KNOW will be abused to attack them just reduces the number of rental units out there. Only the largest cutthroat rental companies with big legal budgets will bother - more of the smaller investors which until recently made up the majority of renters will get out of that market and rents will go even higher. People are not failing to get a mortgage because their credit scores are bad - they can't get a mortgage because the cost of a downpayment and a mortgage is through the roof. And I would bet that making your rent report any late payments to the credit bureau will hurt far more than it helps. I hope the ndp realizes what a disaster this is and smartens them up.
  9. All of our metrics have gone to hell. We had one of the best debt to gdp ratios out there even if you looked at total gov't debt not just federal - now it's in the crapper. We had about 25 billion dollars a year less in interest payments. we had a higher gdp per capita. We had a much lower cost of living to income ratio so people had more disposable income. Business investment increased substantially during harper's time, it nosedived during trudeau which leads to our current productivity problems. Inflation was under control at 2 percent or lower. Not to mention crime was MUCH lower. Healthcare was better and the percent of healthcare covered by the feds was higher. Immigration was much more successful and we didn't have refugees living on the streets.
  10. Poilievre would like to send more weapons to Israel to accelerate the genocide of palestinians as Trudeau, they are both unfit to govern the country.
  11. There is no season for those mushrooms - they grow all year. Like food? Can you show where they go up or down seasonally? They just go up - like all food for the last 4 years or so. But typical liberal "let them eat cake" when the peasants start to complain about starving. Sigh. I suppose we're also buying milk out of season? What is 'in season' for cows?
  12. But you didn't - i asked why you didn't if that's how you feel. Typical leftist- refuse to answer even a simple question. So you're saying that left wing parties don't believe in democracy or representing ALL the people when they're in power. That they have every right to ignore canadians in between elections. They're elected and until the next election canadians should just shut up and do what they're told because the gov't doesn't listen to them. Pretty sad. Gee - hope you feel the same way when PP gets in with a strong majority - that the left should keep silent until the next election (might be a few actually). I don't think you understand how democracy or gov't works.
  13. Probably not this election. Not likely the one after either. POSSIBLY the one after that - but i wouldn't count on it. What you and your kind have done to canada is probably going to stick in the minds of people for quite a while. But sure - throw your vote away. That way nobody will have to pretend to listen to you to win your vote moving forward - you can just be ignored.
  14. Did. That's what 'demonstrated' means Or are you going with the Chretien 'proof' argument? "Da proof is da proof an wen yooo 'ave de proof den it's proved"? - we' know you lefties have trouble understanding proofs In any case i did so - your court now/ Prove i'm wrong.
  15. God wants to preserve the environment but Satan wants to destroy it by pollution
  16. Exactly. Canada was on a great trajectory before Trudeau’s Liberals took office. We had surpluses, a strong dollar, rising incomes for working people… All our current government does is spend more taxpayer money or borrow more money at our expense so they can make funding announcements. Most of these spending programs are of dubious value. I’m sick of this government using our money to control how we live and think. Freedom and opportunity is about self-determination, not imposing endless state programs that are substandard and unwanted by many.
  17. This is ALSO so i-Diot-iC, it sends shivers down my spine and I can read no further.
  18. Of course, we KNOW that you have NO LAW degree, AND no EXPERIENCE practicing law in NY, so AS USUAL, ^this is just BULLSHIT.
  19. You really want living standards to drop for Canadians, huh? That’s exactly what carbon taxes are doing, making life more expensive. You reveal your secret desire to make people live a feudal existence. It’s like some posters’ secret wish to see billions die so the planet is pure for their personal enjoyment. I hope people figure out just how dumb and destructive these radical leftists running our government are. People are going to feel this carbon tax rise, millions of people, not just the poor but the middle class and rich that you and Herbie hate. At least for now they all get to vote.
  20. Yep. Processes vary from city to city, but like Rebound I have no contact with the assessor or input into the assessment.
  21. CdnFox's CPC candidacy staff will be peeking out from behind drawn blinds pretending they're not there in hopes he'll go away.
  22. Jury heard evidence and testimony and unanimously ruled that Trump raped Ms. Carroll.
