  1. So PP wrote a letter to David Eby suggesting BC turn the Carbon Tax over to the Feds. How stupid is he? BC has had it's own Carbon Tax long before Ottawa even though of it. Of course Eby laughed at the suggestion. - hand all the revenue to Ottawa and get no influence over it on top of less revenue? - go along with PP's single issue election platform and had him more federal votes? Lose all revenue for BC on top of all credibility for climate action on BC's part? He could've just as well sent him a gun and asked Eby to "do the right thing" There is no 'advantage' or sensible reason for the average BC resident to vote for the Tories federally. Not liking Justin Trudeau is the least intelligent reason to support a Party that does and will act against your own interests.

  2. The National Council of Muslims and the 300 mosques and other Muslim organizations they represent say no MP will be welcome in their mosques or on their sites without them promising to restore funding to UNRWA funding, to call for an immediate ceasefire in the only place where Muslims are being killed by Jews (but not the ones where they're being killed by Muslims) and must condemn Israel's 'war crimes', (but not those committed by any of the other nations in the middle east). What they are demonstrating is they're not Canadians. Whatever is on their passports. They're not Canadians in spirit. They're still foreigners with foreign cultures and values. Foremost among them is hatred for Jews and Israel. And the more of these people we bring to Canada the more antisemitism there will be. Muslim groups say MPs won’t be welcome in mosques until they call for Gaza ceasefire | Radio-Canada.ca

  3. Why in heavens name would a Harvard professor, enlightened and progressive as they all are, need armed protection? Harvard is a place of tolerance and the free exchange of ideas right? Thats all true unless you're a black professor at Harvard and you discuss your research and it goes against the leftist narrative. Harvard professor Roland Fryer, who at age 30 became the youngest African American ever to be awarded tenure at the Ivy League school, has revealed he faced threats and had to get armed security after publishing a study showing no racial bias in police-involved shootings. His peer-reviewed findings challenge the claim, long made by activist groups like Black Lives Matter, that police in America’s “structurally racist society” readily resort to lethal force when dealing with black suspects. But what should have been an opportunity for academic debate, scholarly disagreement and controversy within a wider, ongoing public conversation, quickly degenerated into a concerted campaign to commit violence against Prof Fryer and his family. Leftists don't seem to care much for black people who won't stay on the plantation. https://freespeechunion.org/harvard-professor-needed-armed-protection-after-publishing-research-that-challenged-woke-orthodoxies/

  10. "BUT IT"S THE LAAAAWWWW!!! THEY HAVE TO EXCLUDE TRUMP!!!! From the ruling: “We conclude that states may disqualify persons holding or attempting to hold state office. But states have no power under the Constitution to enforce Section 3 with respect to federal offices, especially the presidency,” the top US court said in an unsigned opinion. Which is what those of us who actually understand law have been saying all along. And the SC unanimously agrees Sorry @robosmith and others - turns out you don't understand law. And this is worth noting from the judgement: "To allow Colorado to take a presidential candidate off the ballot under Section 3 would imperil the Framers' vision of "a Federal Government directly responsible to the people," the justices wrote. In other words - the colorado judge and the others who attmepted this are Anti-democratic. They are subverting democracy as envisioned by the founders with this crap. Weaponizing the courts to unlawfully repress democracy. "democrats" today.

If am going to have my rights stripped which I can easily survive with, I can't do so in good consciences, with crackheads left right and out of control crime. So, a thug can steal my car and get slapped on the wrists and I could get life for posting his picture and calling him a b**** and questioning his manhood? Yeah, okay. I am all for laws that protect against actual crime. Vagueness that leaves doors open for abuse, not so much.

  13. This is agree with. 1. Revenge porn/child exploitation/statements instructing a child to go and kill themselves etc should be off limits. 2. Misgendering I've seen classified as "hate speech" Certainly has to be a balance between obvious malicious attempts to harm which should be discouraged, perhaps even outlawed, and allowing room to debate without fear of the government showing up at your doorstep.

  14. I've noticed that a lot of the leftists here have lost their ability to communicate in English lately. I don't know if it's because watching Biden has somehow made them all even dumber, if their 7th booster shot has addled what few brain cells they have, or maybe they're all bots suffering from a computer virus, but whatever the reason, their words come out like they went through a blender. It's like if alpha-getti started making complete words instead of just letters, and you were trying to read from a bowl that was just stirred. .man orange Rape bad is a buthead you and MAGA $60 bajillion uninflation says ?what MAGGOT! You can tell that they feel like they're saying something really important by the general snottiness of their posts, but you just have to guess what it is.

  15. more ouch for the GOP investigation into the Bidens... again, Russia! Russia! Russia! attempting to help the Trump win an election. DOJ filing says FBI informant told investigators he got Hunter Biden dirt from Russian officials "During his custodial interview on February 14, Smirnov admitted that officials associated with Russian intelligence were involved in passing a story about Businessperson 1,” the filing reads. Businessperson 1 is Hunter Biden." the fact that the GOP would even consider raw intelligence information from Smirnov show how partisan and open to foreign influence Jordan and Comer are on this file.

  16. What was extreme? To tariff China? To lower taxes to all Americans and enact lower corporate tax that had the effect to bring back corporations that were offshore? To say no to open borders? To enact a ban for individuals from problematic countries to enter the US? To make a deal between South and North Korea? To have no war for 4 years? To enact deals between Israel and Arab countries?

  20. Social Justice. Sounds like a reasonable concept, doesn't it? Of course, that depends on what kind of interpretation you put on it. Even the word 'justice' itself can be twisted, if you're of that kind of mindset. What is 'justice' to the Left? Generally, it means everyone gets the same outcomes, regardless of input. This is an outgrowth of the Left's long flirtation and broken-off love affair with Communism. For if the state owns all then all are equally wealthy. No one has more than anyone else. Regardless of effort, skill or talent. The Left applies this to its most recent love affair, which is with identity politics. All groups must be equal in all things, with white people being the base group. Any group that performs less well than whites are not to be seen as inferior, or making different choices due to different preferences and cultural beliefs, but as victims of white oppression. And thus it is the state's business to elevate that group to the point they are equal to whites. This ignores Asians, who generally perform better. Asians do not exist. They are a fantasy race that should never be considered in such efforts. The Left insists that it is the state's business to intervene if the number of men making widgets is noticeably higher than the number of women. It does not, however, care if the number of women making widgets is considerably higher than the number of men. The same consideration is given to various racial groups. The only requirement for social justice is that white people must not perform better than any other group. And since White people earn more than Black people the Left invented the idea of a great, amorphous systemic issue they termed 'systemic racism'. It's the cause of all inferior progress by Black people, you see. No, there's no actual evidence other than statistical superiority in some things by white people. But that will do. The Left seldom requires much in the way of evidence to solidify their beliefs in this or that faddish concept. Of course, the left has twisted other words of late. Like the word 'hate'. They adopted it about ten or fifteen years ago and have since embraced it as their favorite word. Now it used to be you could be prejudiced or bigoted - words well-defined in the dictionary, but no longer used. The Left made 'racism' their default word because it has a more sinister original definition and can be more readily hurled at their enemies (anyone NOT Left). But even racism wasn't enough as the number of groups the Left identified as requiring their protection grew. It doesn't really work for Muslims, for example, or Trans, or the disabled. So the Left decided to switch to "hate" instead. There can no longer be any prejudice or suspicion or doubt about any group. Now all that is gathered together under the term 'hate'. This makes it easier to craft rules and laws against it, like the Liberals' new online hate bill that will ban the expression of doubt or disbelief about anything regarding transgenderism (even though two thirds of Canadians have doubts about elements of the transgender activist demands). Opposing these demands will no longer be permitted. Just as opposing gay marriage, immigration, or open border can be defined as hate and allow for the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal to investigate you and perhaps bankrupt you with enormous fines. It doesn't take much to qualify as 'hate', either. One joke will do it. One offhand comment. Hiring the wrong person. Getting into an argument with the wrong person. Disagreeing with government policy. Even disagreeing with government policy that is deliberately crafted to be racist is defined as hate! But that's all part of how the Left changes language, then insists that anyone not changing with them is immoral and must be punished. The word 'retarded' became essentially forbidden and punishable as the Left switched to 'disabled'. Now that's no longer allowed as they've settled on 'differently abled'. You are hectored and lectured for saying 'illegal alien' and told to use 'undocumented alien' instead. You can't complain about the homeless. Now they're 'unhoused'. And once the Left abandons a word it becomes forbidden. Punishable by as much as they can get away with in a still-democratic society. They alone, of course, are the arbiters of what the word means. And that can change over time.

  23. IIRC all that was contracted out was primary training. Might even have made sense to weed out the wannabees and incompetents flying toy airplanes instead of polluting the ranks with that process. What we are seeing now is continuation of the Big Turd's campaign to de-militarize the military and make them into a "peace keeping" entity with the sole task of delivering social engineering goals of Liberalism. I can so well remember a time (IIRC '69) when "people from Ottawa" came onto our base and interviewed every francophone NCO - offering them a guaranteed commission if they wanted to "get with the programme" (if you ever wondered why there seems to be a disproportionate number of officers from Quebec - that is where it started). The goal was to make the armed forces express Big Turd's "just society" - in other words effectively destroy pretty much everything in Canada, leaving us just with his society. The other thing civvies probably don't realize is that the armed forces and its procurement policies are little different from the rest of Canadian civil services - i.e. how the Feds tap the $$$$ of the rest of Canada to prop up Quebec. The Little Turd is just following in at least one of his Daddy's footsteps (which Daddy remains to be seen).

  25. I have been a liberal my entire life. I drew the line at being told having a penis now made you no different than a biological woman as long as you felt you were a woman. People thinking questioning this is a crime Victimhood. Punching up or punching down. You're still punching someone. Erosion of free speech. So many other things, and not forgetting the erosion of critical thought. I think any intellectual or person who cherishes thinking, will not be able to stomach a very woke politician, devoid of logic and any sense of pragmatism to me which should be essential for the position. I won't be surprised that in the next three years, the world over sees a massive push towards the right. If correct, that would be the woke hard leftist reality check that they had been drinking their own Kool Aid for far too long, and forgot to check in with the common folk on what they needed vs imposing it onto them.

  27. Surprising here is not the outcome, it happened in history and not once. But the ease with which it has happened. Why? The binary political system naturally drives different groups and cliques together: the primary goal is not to advance certain view and agenda in the interests of the society but to win and rule, in the interests, mostly, of itself. Around it there's a cloud of words, postures and performances but it changes little in the essence. So in my understanding of it, the Republican party has and had for a while at least these groups in it: 1. The angry populists 2. The political establishment 3. and hopefully, the Constitutional fraction that respects the values and claims of freedom and democracy. The first group was always there and kept forming projects and caucuses: Tea Party, Freedom (ironically) caucus, and others throughout history. Revealing these days is that the establishment part really had no foundation, principles: it would undersign anything and anyone that would give them a chance to win. That of course was the cause of its own demise: they needed populist loudmouths like Trump; came to depend on them to guide them to the power, having created and sustained no viable alternatives to this course. But trumps, they do not need them, because they can talk to their cults directly. Never thought it could happen. Oh well. But what puzzles me really is the third group. In all of this, it has never come into the public view. Never attempted to form a consistent position, and message to the public. No known even informal groups common to the other side. Why? Sure we heard names but those are individuals, Chaney, Haley. But from the perspective of the outside world, it appears as the sane, Constitutional and principled wing of GOP just doesn't exist. A paradox? I have no explanation. And so, in the time of uncertainty as the voice of a charismatic populist is amplified by the first faction and the second simply folds in, there's nothing left to stop the rising tide of populism. That was easy.

  29. Of course it depends on your point of view. The French Revolution, like most wars, was a tragedy. The issues were already underway to reform the political system to create a constitutional Monarchy. You under estimate Napoleon's contribution to society. He modernized the delivery of healthcare, science and brought in the metric system. Immigration is a Christian act. There are millions of people who are living in regions of the world that are no longer habitable. The are leaving a life surrounded by poverty, chaos and violence. They have to go somewhere, and Europe is the logical destination. Would Jesus turn away anyone in need? The mass migration from the south is only going to increase into a tsunami of humanity. MAiD is a choice that each of us should be able to make. It is a matter of freedom of choice. To take that freedom away is socialism. The issue of women's right to reproductive choice has been argued to death. The issue of sending western troops into Ukraine may be a signal to the tyrant Putin that his actions are going to lead to War. In the absence of American support, it is now up to Europe to ensure Ukraine's freedom and independence.

  33. From Pierre Poilievre to Danielle Smith, Canadian conservatives are finally pushing back against the snakes Something is brewing in Canada — something of deeper than mere national significance. It’s a veritable sign of the times. Just as our nation was and so unfortunately on the cutting edge of the moralizing woke globalist eco-utopian nonsense promulgated oh-so-charismatically by the beautiful Justin Trudeau, so are we leading the charge of counter-offensive. To put it succinctly: Canadian conservatives are growing a spine. Or a pair. Pick your metaphor. https://nationalpost.com/opinion/jordan-peterson-the-awe-inspiring-conservative-counter-offensive-against-woke-nonsense And it is a phenomenon we're seeing pick up speed. The woke left has been intolerant of everyone else for ages - now people are becoming intolerant of them. Left wing, socialist, woke - these ideologies are starting to become hated and reviled, and young people are turning away from them.

  34. Not exactly. They said that the state has no right to rule on a federal crime. If the feds say it was insurrection as considered by that provision then the state can take the appropriate action but the state cannot reach that conclusion on it's own. Which is basically what everyone sane here and elsewhere said. There needs to be a ruling by a competent authority that insurrection took place, you can't just make that up like the state did,

  38. So he's been cleared to sit on his ass and watch the Obamas destroy this country from behind the scenes. I wonder if he even understands what's going on? President Joe Biden received an annual physical examination at a military hospital in suburban Maryland Wednesday, an assessment that will be closely watched as the 81-year-old seeks re-election in November. Dressed in a suit, Biden left the White House early Wednesday for the exam and returned a few hours later. He told reporters once he was back at the White House that the results were no different from his exam the previous year. Doctors declared Biden healthy and "fit for duty" in last year's physical examination, which included removing a lesion from his chest and declaring him free of symptoms of long COVID after his bout with the virus in 2022. https://www.newsmax.com/politics/biden-physical-exam-doctor/2024/02/28/id/1155314/

  41. Lol. As a pathological liar yourself, I'm not sure your offered opinion counts for anything. Meanwhile, Oliver is a respected journalist and his HBO show has earned many millions of dollars for the network while collecting 28 Emmy awards and 2 Peabody awards, among the show's many other accolades. -- That's 28 more Emmys than and 2 more Peabody awards than the entire Fox "news" network. BTW. (That's right, Fox News has no awards for journalism, because they don't practice journalism.) But Fox does have have something that Oliver's little show doesn't: multiple defamation judgements stemming from their many high-profile lies. So, you should probably apply some prudence when throwing around the term "liar." I know your knee-jerk reaction to any respected media source is to blindly attack it, (because it's not Fox or some random YouTuber) but that's simply not how the rational people of the world think.

A recount in Florida was MANDATORY because the vote was so close. Florida governor Jeb Bush only wanted to recount the districts where he thought Republicans would win. Gore wanted a different set of districts recounted . So they went to court because the law was unclear on how the recount would happen. The court’s ruled the governor can recount any way he wishes. Gore conceded even though he disagreed he respected the rule of law. LIKE A MAN. And unlike Trump A later audit found that if all the districts had been recounted Gore would have won.
