Maybe you guys saw different shows? Maybe the hosts don't write their copy, but they don't read like robots either. Watch Lisa LaFake do her eyerolls or her insinuating tones when she's talking, or her dismissive introductions to stories/videos which run contrary to her narrative. If she is playing a video of Trudeau talking about Duffygate, 3 years into it, it's all amped-up seriousness and "OOohh look at THIS! DUN dun dunnnnnnnn..... If she's playing a video of Scheer talking about SNC while new info is still coming out it's: [eyeroll] "the latest round of character assassination attempts...." I'm not even exaggerating in the least. She actually did use the words "character assassination" a few days back while talking about remarks regarding Trudeau by the Conservatives. Do you think that stupid bimbo ever used the words caracter assassination when Trudeau was talking about Harper or even random Canadians? Like the big bad construction workers invading people's towns, or the broad insult against Canadians in general who were somehow still deemed to be guilty of the hijab cutting attack even after it was determined to be a hoax?

This is such a trash thread. The organized "far right" is no way comparable in Canada to what far left groups have been doing in complicity with the left wing parties, judiciary system, the media and corporate funding who protect, finance and enable them.

So --- let me just get this straight: When Conservatives propose stopping asylum seekers in other countries from illegally crossing into Canada ---- it’s racism; When Liberals sneak the same proposals into an omnibus bill, it’s brilliant politics ---- Got it

The USA was formed in 1776? Slavery abolished in about 1865, Canada formed in 1867. So chronologically speaking Canada could not stop the USA slavery as Canada did not exist as a nation. I should say that this would suffice as the reason.

Assange: The UK must resist

America already had all of Mexico in the bag with the 1846-48 Mexican War. They only wanted what they already were colonizing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican_Cession

First of all I'll give you a little hand with grammar, the word you were grasping for is oppressed, not suppressed. Beyond that, the "photo" you present simply underscores your own racism so it's apropos. Oh BTW, one of those Black people became the most pwerful man on the planet, for two terms, and he got there with the support of the majority of the American voters, not by a quircky electoral college.

They lost because they were hugely outnumbered and literally outgunned by northern industry. Not because of any great military strategy on the part of the North. The North should have won this in the first six months, but they were too incompetent, so it stretched on for four long years consuming the lives of masses of young men foolish enough to join up.

Still are....

By rights the Canadian government can print it's own money with little or no interest to we the people. But our puppet on a string bought off politicians prefer to allow private international bankers to do that for them, of course, with interest. A win-win for the banksters and a lose-lose for we the people. The banksters make billions in interest while we the people pay the debt and for their wonderful service that our dear leaders have put us all into. Canada will never get out of debt if this is allowed to carry on. Wakey-wakey time.

Mehopes you are wrong but methinks you unfortunately may have a point that anything is possible in politics. IThen again you call yourself Realitycheck. No doubt you think you are being realistic in.. I am hoping Canadians see through this crap and the law prevails..

Trudeau;'s way of giving his rich buddies thier carbon taxes back.

Not from the view of french speaking canadians, most of them believed that SNC case was "big bad englishpeople" bullying "frenchpeople"

With due respect to him his hands are tied. He has to wait for the Federal Court of Appeal to make its decision whether it even grants leave of appeal, then allows an appeal after that and if so on what grounds. Even then the appeal decision may give him little if any ability to overturn his Chief Prosecutor's decision. Please read Article V of the OECD convention then Anex 1 on enforcing Article V plus the commentary on enforcing Article V which is the identical wording prohibiting using national economic interest as a pretext to call that public interest to then use that as a pretext to grant a dpa. The OECD expects all its members which includes Canada not to use national economic interest as a pretext to grant a dpa. As well when dpa's have been used in bribery cases, none of those dpa's dealt with a repeat offender. Not only that they did not deal with a company that did not initiate the request for dpa. Never has a government's elected officials ever tried to get involved in a dpa to force one on a prosecutor in an ongoing proceeding. The whole point of a dpa is that its supposed to be initiated byt he accused voluntarily and they agree to many things first which Lavalin has said it will not do, i.e., pay back all money earned from the projects obtained by bribes, full disclosure of all executives of Lavalin who bribed and full disclosure of the names of the person they bribed, a clear system of auditing controlled by an independent third party to prevent future bribery, dismissal of any executives involved in the bribery scheme, a full apology to the victims who suffered as the result of bribing Ghaddafi and enabling him to be able to do what he did to these victims. All these preconsiderations and factors can not be ignored by any prosecutor considering the dpa. Trudeau wants his AG to order the Chief Prosecutor to ignore the dpa law preconditions, conditions and prohibition and simply push forward the dpa. If the dpa law wording is ignored, then the Prosecutor will not have followed their mandatory obligation to consider those preconditions and considerations and prohibition and this will not only create an intervention by legal groups and 5 former Attorney Generals but would create disasterous optics for Tudeau. In the last two days Trudeau provided grants to Loblaws for new fridge units while ignoring small businesses. His Finance Minister retracted a report as to banks and regulatory issues to please the banks. The optics of Trudeau being a lacky of corrupt corporations that bribe and large business is out in the open. Progressive leftist Liberals now have to decide how far they want to go with this charade he represents the middle class. As for you I note you ignore the dpa law wording and the commentary and Annex 1 of the OECD convention which directly warns against governments intervening with political bias and considerations to prevent prosecuting businesses that bribe foreign governments. Why? What does that have to do with my faulty analysis when you have not done any at all. Please explain why you ignore the dpa law's preconditions, considerations and prohibition against using a dpa for national economic interests. Please provide the law or source you think says the AG can over-ride the Chief Prosecutor and make her redo her decision or fire her because her decision is not to his liking. There is law, and there is partisan political agenda. In Canada as much as Trudeau refuses to see the distinction there is. One last thing Trudeau again showed his contempt for rule of law today and if you think voters do not notice you are mistaken. A law exists that says if a migrant enters a safe third country and seeks refugee protection they must apply in that country. They can not move on to Canada. This is to prevent jurisdiction shopping. Trudeau has condoned and encouraged this law to be violated. He has told illegal immigrants in the US to come to Canada. He told them if they enter legally they will be prevented from applying for refugee status so come illegally and they will be allowed this privilege. He rewards people for breaking the law and entering illegally making a mockery of genuine refugees and immigrants who come properly. Then he insults the intelligence of Canadians. He announced that if a migrant came from the US, New Zealand, Britain or Australlia BUT NO OTHER SAFE THIRD COUNTRY, and enters illegally they still will be rewarded for breaking the law and given a refugee hearing unless they already asked for one from those countries. The law already says if you asked for and were rejected for refugee status in any safe third country not just the above, you can not ask for a second refugee hearing in Canada. Trudeau lies. He pretends he has modified a loophole. He has not. He's fooling no one allowing the current Immigration Law on third safe countries to be broken. He shows his contempt for that law and uses his office to allow it to be broken. This is what Trudeau is about, someone who has no respect for law and if it does not suit him, he ignores.

Right, both sides are at each other because of this corrupt entity that is SNC-Lavalin with government legislation that allowed SNC to blackmail the Canadian government. There is something much bigger here that we are not seeing.

It's a legal interpretation problem but yea, when you have the PM threatening to sue the leader of the opposition, it becomes a bit of a partisan issue.

You must be talking about ANTIFA who do advocate violence

Yes. They're all just ordinary conservatives'.

Do most conservatives claim white supremacists as their own? Do most conservatives fear 'replacement' of the white race by people of colour? Does that motivate most conservatives to hate crimes? https://www.vice.com/en_ca/article/vbwaq9/christchurch-shooting-suspect-donated-to-a-far-right-group-active-in-canada Evan Balgord, the director of the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, described identitarianism to VICE as the “European version of the alt-right neo-Nazi movement” and said “here in Canada the largest single group... is ID Canada, formerly known as Generation Identity Canada.” The people at the Anti-Racist Canada blog has found numerous connections between ID Canada and the Canadian white nationalist movement in which they outline in detail. Or ... are most Canadian white supremacists just trying to disguise themselves as conservatives? And which are you?

A science denier. What a shocker.

Indeed. I bet you are quite curious.

1. So what ? You don't think a middle-class mom has the ability to form an informed opinion ? Bizarre. 2. So what ? The hosts don't write their own copy. 3. No they didn't. WTF. 4. No they didn't. Television is actually 'new media'. It was never as good as newspapers. And fake blogs, meme sites and anonymous youtube channels generated as work-for-hire from eastern Europe is THE worst. You might as well get your news from those old racist Bugs Bunny cartoons.

That isn't the West's fault, that's Africa's fault. Africa is better off with American corporations giving them jobs, not worse. Corruption is the issue, and it wasn't the West who corrupted Africa, they did it to themselves.

Africans starved, mostly because of their own issues, not the West stealing their food.

Owly is brainwashed. /shrugs

Both are true. Canada backed the confederacy and helped support the underground railroad, it's not one or the other, history is more complicated than your black and white depiction of it. Learn some Canadian history, aside from just the parts of it the Liberal media emphasize, then get back to me.

Nope. Who do you think sold the blacks to the white people in the first place? Other black people, and the Ottomans. Black people have oppressed other black people far more than whites could ever dream of. Who ended slavery first, western nation, or african nations? Western nations.

What are you expecting from CTV? Most of the hosts are middle aged middle class moms. They really dig JT's style. Yesterday, they said JT was only a poor puppet, and all of the problems were caused by his puppeteers. They made him did all the bad things . BTW, one of the hosts told people to go to buy hybrid car instead of complaining the carbon tax

I wonder who you think you dominate.

I already said what. However it is hard to say for sure what I would really do, because you have to be born that way to know. I am me, born privileged, entitled, taught to be powerful, to dominate others. Sounds pretty good, eh? Any takers?

1. No argument from me there. 2. No argument from me there. 3. No argument from me there. *Except* that the telecoms also somehow safeguard Canadian content, or are supposed to. So I get that they can be protected, that there may be a national interest there. But it's a little dubious.

One of the many reasons I watch no TV news.

What sucks is all those black slaves in Africa being enslaved by .. other black men.

Then it all needs to be called out. Why is it not?

Why single them out ? What about the energy industry or mining ?

It's a different jurisdiction. And now that I have actually read the article it makes less sense that this would be controversial. Energy use reduction incentives have been around since the 1970s.

Another crazy general? Sounds almost as outraged as Jim Mattis.

I'm sure he has the military's full support. You'll see after the big parade they are planning to hold some time in 2019.

It is not back and white. Do you remmember this : when the JT's minions asked JWR to grant SNC a DPA, they would mobilize friendly medias and scholars to justify her action. At the end, DPA is not a wrong option, but it is just not as right as "no DPA" option.

I guess it was my imagination you saying that all conservative supporters were racists and hated women, right?

Just read that the Liberal caucus chair Francis Scarpaleggia said in a statement that the rules Michael Chong established for caucus decisions such as expulsion do not apply to the Liberals because they opted out of them. I found this https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/philpott-says-trudeaus-caucus-expulsions-violated-law A set of amendments to the Parliament of Canada Act, spearheaded by Conservative MP Michael Chong, was passed in 2015 in an effort to make it more difficult for MPs to be removed from caucus — part of an effort to decentralize political power on Parliament Hill and put it back in the hands of rank-and-file legislators. Those rules require that after a federal election, the MPs of each party hold a vote to determine the rules for caucus expulsions. But in November 2015, after the Liberals formed government, they deferred the matter, and as a result the rules — which would have required 90 Liberal MPs to express support for expelling Philpott and Wilson-Raybould — were not formally adopted.

They are shamelessly going after more new voters and more revenue tools at the same time. I love that hat scribblet!

Maybe send them a postcard with your ideas written on it, see if that goes anywhere. I suspect you are flogging a dead horse if you think there is hope in that. In regards to natives, the Crown does not assist, it resists. Canada's PM gave his input on this issue here, it doesn't faze him. When Trudeau's lips move, Canada speaks. Also the notion that people need to hang in there and suck mercury contaminated water while they wait for a treaty negotiation, with THE GOVERNMENT no less, doesn't sound like the most effective road to success here. Please wait while we negotiate a new treaty, one that may possibly impact all other treaties, and require their renegotiation? No thanks. Because, in my experience, if they were actually capable of solving this problem they would have done it by now. You are also suggesting that natives should light some fires, maybe if they put a little smoke under the government's ass it might move a little faster. Perhaps. It's not a solution though, just a reaction. How about some alternate solutions. Here's what I would say if I were native to the Government and the Crown of Canada: @*&$ #!* I'm not going to depend on you at all. I'm going to solve the problem, somehow, without your help. That means getting my own money. Start a lottery. Crowdfund. Get the story out and ask for volunteers. Buy a truckload of shovels and go look for the damned shit.

Hard to believe this really. My frig is about 24 years old, wonder if Trudeau will give me a new one that is more energy efficient if I donated to the Liberals.

Liberals are obviously anti-Climate as their plan to increase immigration to 330 K per year which brings in many more people into our country would increase the overall emissions that are produced in every way. If the Liberals are so committed to the Climate why would they be doing this?

You're free to support Islam by moving to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia where you're free to execute those that cause fitnah towards your chosen faith.

Not a Liberal at all but hey. 1) Annihilate CBC straight away. 2) Reduce immigration by at least 3 quarters of what we're doing. 3) Reduce legislation for corporations and small enterprises. 4) Reduce the number of Ministries by half. Switzerland has only 6 ministries. We should have way less than 30. We're not a banana republic, not everyone gets to be a Minister of something because reasons. 5) Up the tax on foreign people owning real estate immediately. The people will then be able to have affordable housing and will pay hefty taxes just to get a home left by the foreigners.

As a white man, I'm sick of people suggesting that campaigns against bullying and sexual violence are attacks against white men. No, it isn't. It's an attack against assholes. I don't know how calling out assholes is "Marxism", but I guess the Marxists approve of that interpretation.

It's not a conspiracy anymore. It's out in the open. White men, we have difficult times ahead and will have to act upon it. All the corporations are against us and push an agenda against us. They are willing to spit on their profit and their customer base just to pander to cultural marxism. Gillette didn't run this advertisement for money, they did it for political reasons, it's obvious. Stating otherwise is either sarcasm or total non sense. It has been revealed today that Google and Youtube were actively manipulating, consciously, manually the search results in favour of the Marxists. The academic institutions are plagued with anti white men doctrine, plagued with Marxists. The current government openly stated that choosing ministers based on their sex rather than qualification was a 'current year thing'. The corporate environment is becoming plagued with lawsuits towards those who do not comply to the rigid ideology of diversity AND also 'muh protect wuhmuhn fom seggual harrasmen'. This is not going to end well.
