No they're not. They're animals. Maybe you have a special kind of relationship with animals though, who am I to judge. Maybe go take a hike with the Talibans and their goats, who knows?

Exactly. As the graph clearly shows President Trump has been dramatically more effective than Obama in his first two years. In Obama's first 2 years unemployment grew at least 1%. In Trumps first 2 years unemployment dropped 1.5 %. I appreciate you posting this. Many ill informed people don't understand just how much better Trump is than Obama.

Another fond CanAm memory...this time from the 2018 Winter Olympics...the Americans won gold...Canada...silver: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/olympics/rules-trump-emotion-as-canadian-womens-hockey-player-ordered-to-wear-silver-medal/article38062105/

Neil Macdonald is back in Ontario after a long foreign assignment in the United States, where he likely used D.C./Maryland area hospitals and clinics that have lots of excess capacity. It probably was a shock to him to go to a crowded ER in Ontario and wait a long time just like everybody else, delaying care with lots of pain meds (opiates). He might have done better in Alberta or BC.

The U.S. team has a lot more World Cup and Olympic gold medals to count than Canada's team. Remember when Canada's Melissa Tancredi stomped on Carli Lloyd's head ? Now that's "sportswomenship" !

The french in Quebec are clueless as to how to run a province and government properly. Quebec governments have always been corrupt and liberal and socialist. That will never change. This is the reason why there still are and have been so many political party's popping up all the time in Quebec. No one in Quebec knows what the hell they want. What the french are very good at though is drinking beer and partying. That is pretty much priority number one. Pretty much 40% of the population are for separatism, and if it did ever happen, I do not know how the french would survive in their own french pea soup creation nation that they will be mixing and stirring up. Personally, I cannot wait for Quebec to separate. Peace at last.

I really don't care what JT is. It is what he thinks Canada is and what makes up our nation. And so far, I am not impressed.

I believe as we speak you capture what many in Hong Kong are concerned about if you do not mind me saying that and many have who came out of very restrictive government controlled environments. Its hard to explain that to people born in Canada who feel self entitled and have grown up in a world taking for granted the freedoms they have and viewing government as their protector of entitlements. Our current country was started by people (the 1867 Canada) who wanted to pay taxes and obey King George and follow law and order handed out by a King. That collective political belief continues. Its why we do not mind gun control or medicare. We didn't distrust government in 1867 we saw it as our collective identity to resist the aboriginal world we did not want to assimilate in to However if you speak to immigrants who came from Eastern Europe, like Doukhabors, Ukrainians, Jews, people fleeing Communism, Nazism, military dictatorships, persecution, they had a far different approach to governments and symbols of authority like the police or military. It was cautious to say the least.I am a stereotype Canadian. A second generation whose grandparents and one parent fled oppressive regimes to come to Canada for freedom. So ee see the merit of a good strong government that preserves democracy but we also cherish free speech and governments not being to pervasive because we saw them used as agents of persecution. So we are by nature centralist-we like to see a good healthy dynamic or balancing of government regulation at times, and free market at other times...a balancing act while the next generations removed from this and only born in Canada see the government as the agent to guarantee their lifestyle of entitlements which we now call "rights" but for my parents or grandparents were considered "privileges" you had to work for, not be given by government. I am 63. I am old enough to know people who sacrificed in WW1, 2 and Korea and speak to me. So I have that perspective plus the awareness of post WW2 economic booms and busts and self centered baby boomers who preached collectivism and then turned into the most greedy and dishonest of capitalists giving birth to confused children now entering the economic sectors totally disillusioned and feeling expendable and meaningless. I aso think with the reality of global market trading things have changed since WW2 and the very ability to achieve free markets has become impossible and w ehave wide spread cancerous predatory pricing practices including dumping which prevent fair trade.So now the question is how do we have nations cooperate with each other on macro and micro levels of economic levels facilitating fair trade? Is Is it possible? Yes we have things now like the World Trade Organization and all kinds of economic trading alliances and bilateral free trade agreements between nations or collectives of nations like the Pacific Rim or EEC....but does the world still simply breakdown into cartels /monopolies rigging supply and demand to inflate prices to maximize profit no matter what we do? Do you believe we can control economic activities generated by alliances of mega-international corporations like Union Carbide, Dow Chemical, Dupont, Colgate-Palmolive, etc., or the Chinese government corporation of corporations? You ask me are politicians are just puppets, covers, distractions and pacifiers foro these these business cartels so they can carry out their agendas. Look how easy its been to turn people into Borgs from Star Trek, absolute sheep in a collective by just the device of the cell phone alone. The information age has used internet and the cell phone to create one massive opiate that controls free thought. Its why I do not use one. I limit it as a device for calling if I am in a car accident. I also do not buy a damn thing on line. However I like you and everyone else use the internet and realize credit cards are also a control mechanism and tracking device that have turned me into a Borg like you and everyone else. Resistance is futile. Regards 13 of 6666

Immigration is not the problem. It is the massive amounts of new immigrants that are being allowed to immigrate to Canada is the problem. Immigrants have become a big problem for Canada these days, especially those illegal criminal refugee ones who are here and sucking off me a Canadian taxpayer. The more immigration there is in Canada the more of an assault there will be on your precious animal wildlife. Something you seem to have a problem with trying to figure out. More social and medical services required. More infrastructure needed which means taking more land away from wildlife habitat. More garbage for our landfills. But trying to get some zionists here to get with the program is truly an exercise in futility. The lack of common sense and logic from these fools who are for more immigration is incredible. Canada has brought in millions of new immigrants in the past few years and unemployment is still around 2%. Well duh, eh? I am certainly not the guilty one here. It is your stupid politicians and the many stupid Canadians out there who seem to feel that more immigration is the answer to all of our woes. Our wildlife is in more danger than they ever were today thanks to the massive immigration policy that we have in Canada. You need to start to think before you speak, if that is possible for you?

Liberals are fighting racism and sexism by being racist and sexist.

Anyone who has suggested cutting subsidies is the past is usually asked what subsidies? Often in the same sneering tone of voice used for the question, what climate change? Right wingers are and always have been completely filled with shit about every aspect of the issue.

The term Genocide for this issue of Native women gone missing is very much a lie. The problem is that the lifestyle that those particular women chose is what led to these issues. They have a lot of issues and violence amongst themselves. They would never admit to that either. By lifestyle I mean the laid back lifestyle they have and they do not have the same level of responsibilities that non-natives need in order to survive as they get a lot of stuff for free. That then encourages waste, no appreciation for what you have, lack of pride, and a host of other issues. I mean anyone being treated this way would have these same issues, native or non-native. Subsidizing the natives, free education, free pharmaceuticals, free help, I would hardly call this Genocide. The Natives actually have alot big families because of the assistance they get. Non-natives don't have that luxury so the families are of more modest size. There again because of these policies, I can hardly see this as Genocide. It's more of a lifestyle problem and alot of it within their own social environment.
