Hi Argus, it is more than clear who the real haters are. And it is not Bernier's group. They were having a peaceful lawful event until hate showed up in mobs and masks and became violent. Calling people heinous names and accusing them of being the haters ironically. The ultimate hypocrisy!

I don't call everyone "alt-right" (just the ones on this board who are) but you're trying to call everyone on "the Left" Antifa. Read your OP.

/facepalm Utter horseshit not to mention grotesquely unprincipled and hypocritical. Argus like most conservatives have terribly wrongheaded notions about equality of outcomes in the economy. The point conservatives consistently ignore and the one thing that matters most because of the way it does skew outcomes is the inequality that exists at much of the front end of the economic process - in the backrooms of power where corporations and people of undue influence cajole, bribe and likely threaten on occasion politicians to tilt the economic playing field in their favour. This is the reason why year after decade after century the income/wealth gap forever grows wider. Although Argus will bitch, piss and moan on occasion about how unfair it is that his betters should have more political influence than him due to their wealth he'll just as happily write at length about all the Canadians who should be denied their right to vote if they happen to not pay taxes. Like I said, grotesquely unprincipled and hypocritical. The solution is simple, outlawing in-camera lobbying of politicians but most right-wingers are so goddamned stupid they seem think this is an attack on free speech. I've heard enough say just that very thing when it comes to cracking the secrecy we afford the wealthy and powerful in our society. Why shouldn't I conclude that there is little to no difference in how conservatives think and that if you've seen one you've probably seen them all? Given the way both parties hoe the same row why shouldn't I lump Liberals and Conservatives together? They're just opposite sides of the same filthy coin. I'm just as disgusted that corruption isn't the number one issue in this election but that said if Andrew Sheer promised to outlaw in-camera lobbying I'd vote Conservative.

Because the term "alt-right" is American...not Canadian. Another import ?

Me and my leftist ilk? Why are you allowed to use ridiculously simple generalizations and I'm not?

Why do people feel the need to brag about winning arguments when they're clearly not? Of course one or two individuals are not indicative of a whole group. But this kind of thing is happening in cities all across Canada and all across the US, violent mobs of black masked leftists attacking anyone they see as being further to the right than Fidel Castro. You can see similar videos of the angry, intolerant Left from Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver and Ottawa, not to mention across the US, from Portland and Seattle to New York and Chicago.

So the entire Left is to be held responsible for the actions of some Antifa people? And couldn't you tell where this argument was going a mile away? I'm disappointed in you. You've become as easy to corner as the Trumpers on this board.

The worry is about our finances, not the fact that your grand kids meet with immigrants, who are mostly decent, normal people just trying to get ahead in life.

There was an article I read a short time back, about how dating sites like Tinder have shaken up dating among younger people. Because it's all based on looks, the handsome and beautiful get deluged with requests. The plain, not so much. This is particularly so of men. If you're a handsome well-built man you can date girl after girl just for sex. If you're not so good looking, and maybe not so suave and sophisticated as to make a good impression when you do meet a woman, you get nothing. This leads to bitter young men unable to compete, in jobs where, for the most part, they don't meet women, or can't do anything if they do, without the social circle, large family connections, religious belonging which would enable them to meet other young women in social settings. Nor is this good for young women. They're not usually just looking for sex, but most of the men on the likes of Tinder are. I think it was Peterson who said in a lecture that nature made men want sex so badly that they'd stick around and help raise the resulting offspring. And society made it so that if you didn't marry a girl you weren't going to get any sex. Now that men can get sex easily (or at least the good looking ones) they're just doing that and making no commitments. That leaves young women without the kind of enduring male companionship they actually want. None of it is good for society.

So true with Hilary. But she did win the popular vote? On another note, I will be attending Bernier's rally tonight in Essex, Ontario! Woo hoo.

You're being hypocritical. The entire left is not represented by these people in your links. These are far-left wingnuts, just like the far-right wingnuts of Charlottesville don't represent the right.

Precisely, so long as this is how you people play politics. You expect to be treated differently, why?

The far left and far right are both filled with violent hateful anti-democratic wingnuts. Extremists are bonkers, who knew!

(Without the bass) what about those voices?

That's dishonest to suggest that anyone that didn't want America to get entangled in a world war were Nazi sympathizers. Some people just actually didn't want America to get involved in a world war.

Of course not! This is the kind he likes! Along with the gutter politics the Liberals have reduced this election campaign to.

So the entire American right is to be held responsible for one nutty Nazi driving into a crowd, and then by inference the Canadian right as well? And at the same time tens of thousands of Muslim terrorist attacks are NEVER to be held up as something to blame Muslims for!

No, you don't get off the hook that easy. Screaming "Nazi !" like Antifa won't work. You asked for an example of previous influence and favour...boom !

I agree. I don't believe what the polls say. It is not accurate. If Trudeau gets back in, I will be shocked! Or maybe I'm just praying he does not!

It was lack of social cohesion for sure. If this guy had friends to call him out when he started going off the rails, take him for a drink, play some pool, basketball, anything, maybe he wouldn’t have felt so alienated and angry. I don’t have any delusions. No one is completely safe. The sun may not come up tomorrow. Safety is a risk assessment. I know the difference between a relatively safe and a relatively dangerous area. I’ve experienced both.

Safer for your kids to teach them about guns, they can get access to guns that you don't have control over, there are guns on the street, other kids have guns, they could go to someone elses house and get a gun there. If you want to keep your kids safe around guns, raise them from a young age to know everything about them. That crossbow is dangerous too, again, when you're at crossbow, you're already at lethal weapon in the house now. It's not safer than a gun.

Canada is a great country, but the things most people like about it are under threat: economic opportunity, clean air and water, plenty of space, liberal-democratic values, free speech, home ownership...A lot of overspending by government and immigrants flocking to cities, driving up the cost of housing, straining services, and adding congestion to highways and transit. We’re paying today’s bills with tomorrow’s development charges on new condos. The growth is feverish and rapidly changing Canadian society, not always for the better.

They got drowned out because their proposed solutions are to make the problem worse and destroy the economy. Throw the anti-capitalist crusaders under the bus, they are real reason environmentalists make no headway.

I've shared some on here. The worst was a Muslim man who threw a picture frame at my head, I deflected with my hand and needed stitches. Because he showed up hours late for a doctor's appointment and I told him he would have to re-book. He was arrested for assault and at the court hearing, even the judge (who was female) was treated with utter disdain by him and said that what happened to me was because of the low value he put on females, his feeling that a woman had no right to tell him "No". Surprisingly, he was not an older man - he was early 20's, just going through life abusing any females he encountered because that's what he was taught. So yes, I agree that these kinds of stone-age religious beliefs harm a country's social cohesion. Especially when if you talk about it you're labeled an Islamophobe and a racist. I also agree with you that women bear the brunt of Islam's hatreds - Jews and gays, too. I dont' believe most men realize the little daily aggressions (and the big aggressions) that a lot of women - Muslim women and white women - experience due to Islam's extreme misogynistic teachings. They just keep spouting how these are "normal" interactions because men of all religions denigrate women, doncha know? The need to divorce the behaviour from the religion's teachings is desperate.
