Also, bankers didn’t crash the economy. The government did, through terrible mortgage policies they forced on lenders and participated in themselves.

Thank you very much. "Progressive" outrage is the only reward I seek. The government sponsored and funded CBC relies heavily on American commercial and social media platforms, but cannot control how they are used. Neither can you.

Whether there were humans in some parts of Canada, before the European settlers arrived or not, is more or less irrelevant to this topic. For sure there were wild animals there, calling those places home. There were animals and still there are animals in places untouched by humans. But we advance on their land, invade their best feeding grounds, steeling their food - berries, salmon and even the herbivores (as food for carnivores); we destroy their homes - cutting down the forests they live in, we kill them for sport, food, accidentally or let them perish through our negligence. They are very much like us - two eyes, two ears, four limbs, one nose and one mouth, same organs, Most are considered cute. But we, the idiots, cannot treat them with respect and like to call them stupid. Some of us, like to show how macho they are by shooting them and posing with them in photo ops. Those same hunters who do it, would have never had the intelligence to design a gun or figure out the components of gun powder, but they feel like they have achieved something when they've shot a grizzly with a powerful gun, powerful optics, GPS help, a helicopter to take them to the animal and all kinds of other advantages the technological progress can provide to them. There are few animals left, no way how we look at it. But after invading their land and plonking a house where they used to live, we still expect a conservation officer to service our call and euthanize the offending animal that crossed the borders of our new property! I tried to acquire a copy of the accident data between trains and animals in BC last month. Both CP and CN refused to provide this information to me. They stated they met their obligations to the Ministry of Environment. I filed a FOI to get the info from them. I was asked to pay $9,750 to get this info because much of the records were not in a database but on paper slips! I was lucky to obtain the accident data for the BC highways last month. Two days after I received the database I came across a recently killed black bear along HWY 113 in Northwest BC. I decided to check what data I received from the Ministry. Their database showed that between 1990 and today there was a total of 1 black bear, 2 moose and 1 rabbit killed along this highway! No kidding! If anyone thinks differently or not, I have to burst their bubble. We live on the backs of those same animals / wildlife. We take their food and space so our population can grow and they decline. They have no voice because they speak no language. They are doomed to die, because of us , the idiots. We want things we do not really need at their expense. We put our own survival in jeopardy by destroying the habitat, but our political leaders are too dumb to make a turn. In the pictures below, one can see the bigotry of MOT. 'Driving with care" for those 35 km after already driven 100 km in a similar "drive with care zone", of 4 lanes and incessant traffic - day and night by semi-s doing 120km/h. If this is not enough, the railway runs in parallel to the highway. Lets not kid ourselves. We have decided that all wildlife is expendable and has to die to give way to the growth of capitalism in Canada. My second picture shows the poor dead black bear from last Saturday. I should have taken a face shot t o show you the blood coming out of his nose - a small animal of only 60kg, caught at a bridge and run over by a common idiot doing 120km/h in a 80km/h zone. It hurts me seeing this; a lot!

Everybody but Mike Collins...

How mass? Don't ever believe for a moment that because this stuff is wholly accepted by the media and academic types, as well as gutless politicians, that this in any way represents the feelings of ordinary Canadians. Or Americans or brits for that matter. It's only the progressives that accept it and they're a tiny percentage of the population which unfortunately has a disproportionate influence.

Fake news. Also, there is no "Open Borders Immigration Strategy". Thinking of starting a topic called "This week in the gullible Right Wing".

Also true if we reduce the physical size of human beings.

I would agree most Americans are 100 % more patriotic than Canadians, or atleast they are more visual and vocal about it...And while all the states are locked into the union , it does not mean California is the most popular state in the union, I would compare it to BC, full of peace niks and tree huggers, and dope smoking hippies.... This is my point , there are few separations that end well, Canada is not immune to all of that, when diplomacy does not work, then it normally ends in violence..

You are not a troll a for stating facts. You are a troll for insulting the intelligence of the moderator who deserves people defending him for protecting the integrity of this board from spambots. I appreciate his vigilance and you are wasting his time. Changing your name will not change a damn thing. https://www.dw.com/en/the-rise-of-political-bots-on-social-media/a-19450562 http://www.digitaljournal.com/internet/op-ed-your-online-political-heroes-are-bots-not-people/article/506645

You guys can find a million reasons to separate, and those that think this union of Canada works at it's best when we are together can find a millions reason not to separate....happens in any group or 2 or more people your not going to find one solution that is going to make every one happy.....But history has shown clearly that separation is not the end all be all, That the grass on the other side is always greener, until you get over there and find out that military pension you like so much is gone, CPP gone, any other form of welfare payment is gone....and you and your family are pushed into survival mode.. our economy is going to suffer, our dollar will be worth shit, ahhh so what you need a wheel barrow full of dollar bills to buy bread...anyone remember the 30's when our economy went to shit.... ya good luck with all that, how is the last 4 generations prepared for that type of event, .....can you imagine the devastation to todays generation when you can no longer pay the bills, live in your house, get a job, feed your family...ya that always brings out the best in people right......but hey you'll have freedom....good luck trying to eat freedom....freedom does not keep you warm at night, nor does it keep you and your family safe... Anyone that has seen conflict first hand knows that it does not take a whole lot of effort to tear down what we have today, and turn it into something that looks like Yugo, Somolia etc...Ask them how freedom tastes, and was it worth all the death and destruction , and what have they gained....that was worth all of that... You talk of periods in time when our country was in crises Boar war, WWI, WWII, Korea the list goes on....tell me when was the last time as a soldier you gave a rats ass who was in charge and where in the country they came from....Last time I checks all you cared about was the guy on the left and right of you...comrades in arms...could be from any where really Quebec, Alberta, Maritimes....when did it matter, it never did ...who cares who is the PM and what party they are from, or what policies they would bring in , who has the most oil, what province was poorer or richer, ....what was important was the person on the left and right....the same attitude that built this nation from log cabins to sprawling urban centers...all of that would be impossible had we just walked away because of a few differences, or because we spoke a different language. We all have our differences, I think BC is full of hippies and peaceniks Greens who eat way to many mushrooms, and smoke shit tones of weed, But they are still Canadian and when in time of crises, or hard times I know I can count on them to have my back....we all have our reasons and things we dislike about our nation....But I will tell you this , the best years of my life were when I served this nation from east coast to west coast and I wore that Canadian flag on my uniform....and every time I came home from some shit hole on the other side of the globe, I always gave thanks to god for allowing me to grow up and raise my family in Canada.

Thats democracy, most western nations have the same issues, with unity, including the States, I mean how does the other states describe those from California for example, not everyone gets along within the union, ...everything about a free democracy is fragile and can be sent into a spin with very little effort....History is full of examples...empires come and go, and yet history also shows were are stronger as a whole than if we broke it all apart, so we could do our own thing....

Your right, did you also know that they are the only former socialist state to have an entirely peaceful breakup. All the rest have had conflict, Such as the break up of the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia is a huge example of what not to do, north and south Korea, Sudan/south Sudan, Ethiopia / Eritrea, India / Pakistan, Sebia/ Kosovo The list goes on forever....the point here is Most separations devolve into conflict. And don't think it will not happen in Canada, during the last attempt of Quebec's separation, the 5 th CMBG ( CFB Valcartier, was sent to new York state) to take any French military units out of the picture and from getting involved, at the time Quebec was actively recruiting or asking DND persons where they're loyalties lie....…. F-18 in Bagoville were sent to the USA as well once on the ground all aircraft were grounded by US forces on orders from our government. CFB Petawawa had it's alert status upgraded, recall all soldiers recalled from leave and confined to area, 3 RCR was placed on the highest alert level, told to expect immediate deployment...all of this was in response to the separation vote, and while nothing happened, what do you think would have had the vote turned the other way..... had it gone badly our military would have deployed into Quebec...How would that have gone over with Quebec citizens ?....not very well I would think...Just a note these actions were taken by a liberal government with strong ties to Quebec.... Like I have said, what is it that Quebec expects to get from separating, other than freedom, I mean no economy , no credit rating to speak off, no currency, no major military equipment, it faces a massive pull out of federal depts., and all of its funding, like CPP, funding for projects , or lets not mention the 9 bil in federal payments, no trade agreements with anyone, lets not mention all the federal infra structure thats not going to be free...Quebec's borders will not look like todays, Canada must be able to have freedom of movement between Ontario and the Atlantic provinces, it also has to have freedom of movement of goods and services along the ST Lawrence sea way. and while Quebec will be hurting for decades so will the ROC, our dollar will lose value, our GDP will suffer, everything will change...

Mike Collins again...

Wonder if she'll get any decent opposition next time, but I guess in a Somali district it would be hard to win.

The four houseman of dem-pocalypse are killing the dems ,plain and simple

So, what the hell do you want all of us to do about this? Should everybody just pack up their belongings and leave the country? The killing will never end and the reason for that is that Canada has an immigration problem. There are just too many people immigrating to Canada and there are now too many people driving on the roads these days. Why is it that no one can see this writing on the wall that too much immigration is the real problem for just about all of our problems. More immigration means more animals will be killed. I cannot understand as to why some people seem to want to find any other excuse for what is happening to animals being killed when the answer is right in front of their bloody noses. More new immigrants means more animals must die. It's that short, sweet, and simple. At least that is how I see things now.
