Only sick twisted unCanadian politicians would put the interests of old people who have lived in a foreign country their whole lives and contributed nothing over the health and well-being of elderly Canadians who have been here their whole lives or at least many decades. It's disgusting. The Trudeau government quadrupled the annual acceptance of parents/grandparents reunification from 5000 under Harper to now 20,000. https://globalnews.ca/news/4912359/canada-family-reunification-program-under-fire/

I had the privilege of interviewing MP Mark Holland on issues facing Canada from Clean drinking water in Indengoues reserves, Coronavirus outbreak, Affordable housing, and Wexit Canada. You can watch it on youtube Monday 2:15 p.m EST BUT What do you think are the top 5 issues in Canada? Follow me on IG @t.w.t_podcast_

The story goes that when Canada stops producing oil we will be the country that's manufacturing and selling all the solar panels and other eco-friendly energy solutions to the other countries. That's because our manufacturing base completely dominates the international scene, I guess? Somehow we will be able to make that stuff far cheaper than the Chinese, Malaysians, Mexicans, etc. Yeah so that will be a thing. And we will be able to afford massive amounts of refugees coming in, we'll have a really high minimum wage, university will be free, there will be extremely high taxes on businesses and wealthy people, which will help keep green manufacturing jobs here instead of having them go overseas. The Libs have a plan PIK. Things are looking great right now. Sadly, we won't have a railroad because freight trains run on fossil fuels. Yay save the planet.

Diversity is our strength. And it is killing the country. Immigration needs to change who comes here.

You cited "Vanity Fair Hive", it's gotta be true. Gotta hand it to ya for not posting it from CNN.

I think the most irritating thing about Trudeau and his party are how self-righteous they are in their virtue signalling - and how phony it all turns out be every time you get to peek under the rug. So it is with their judicial appointment process, much lauded by Trudeau as selecting independent people not affiliated with the Liberals but selected on merit. Well, a small chink in the curtains appeared and we got a look at a narrow time frame in how it works. And how it works is that the Liberals look for those who support the Liberal party, and not only consult widely for approval with their MPs and ministers, but with LIBERAL judges who are supposedly independent but clearly are nothing of the sort. So as with senate appointments, we find that everything Trudeau has said, and all his self-congratulatory posturing, is so much bullshit. The Liberal government relies on a large network of party officials and supporters to decide which lawyers receive sought-after judicial appointments, e-mails obtained by The Globe and Mail show. Liberal MPs, ministerial staff members and even party volunteers have been involved in candidate vetting since the federal government revamped the process in 2016, after having accused the previous Conservative government of politicizing appointments. The dozens of e-mails between ministerial staffers from 2017 and 2018 detail widespread partisan involvement in the selection of new judges, offering unprecedented insight into the inner workings of the current judicial appointment process. The e-mails also show clear tensions during that time frame between the minister of justice’s office, which handles the appointment process, and the Prime Minister’s Office, which collaborates on those decisions. The e-mails reveal that Colleen Suche, who is a judge on the Manitoba Court of Queen’s Bench, and her husband, former minister and current MP Jim Carr, supported identical lists of candidates in separate communications with the office of Ms. Wilson-Raybould in 2018. In relation to an appointment to the Manitoba Court of Queen’s Bench, an e-mail says Justice Suche informed Ms. Wilson-Raybould’s office of her hope that Ken Champagne would not be given a “leadership position” such as associate chief justice. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-e-mails-reveal-network-of-liberal-officials-involved-in-judicial/#comments

“There is almost no case where Aboriginal title confers an absolute right,” Plant said. “Canadian law is always about balance. There are always cases where the greater social good will prevail over a private right, no matter how important or passionately held.” www.princegeorgecitizen.com/news/local-news/delgamuukw-did-not-settle-the-question-of-wet-suwet-en-title-1.24085622

Evidence that refugees tend to work and pay taxes? I've seen none in all the time I've been looking into the background of this issue. From what I can see refugee employment tends to be low, and their earnings around minimum wage. Which means no, they're not paying taxes.

What's your net contribution to the discourse here Hardner, aside from chiming in with sandbox insults? You never even have the balls to reply directly to my posts, you talk through replies to other people's posts and general posts because you know that you can't have a fact-based discussion for obvious reasons. So how exactly would you go about shouting down idiocy Michael? Isn't that like putting out a fire with gasoline? Or doing flood reparations with a firehose?

What a shit show in Iran. I can't believe how much they've gone through in just the past year. The corruption and incompetence of the Iranian government is what will end them. Not the sanctions and economic pressure. Perhaps this virus will bring the majority to the boiling point.

Unfortunately I see a lot of fake news coming out of you and I let most of it slide. But as someone who works in the private immigration field, I feel that I need to step in and correct you on this one. We actually have a very ageist immigration system. Majority of our immigrants are skilled workers and all skilled workers go through a competitive points system. One loses points if they are above 29 years old. The number of people coming in through parents sponsorships per year is 20,000. A small percentage of our immigrants and compared to most other Western countries, it's a very low number.

Your narrative is based on feelings, not facts. Not a single person who thinks he's the most incompetent president ever doesn't hate him, the only way to arrive at such an opinion is to be blinded out of hate. So you're lying to yourself and others, but you're only really fooling yourself and other Trump haters who think their hatred of him is rational when the exact opposite is the case.

BREAKING NEWS! Trudeau just announced a tax on toilet paper to stop the spread of coronavirus. WE'RE SAVED!!!!!!!

Busted ! Hard to hide from the facts. U.S. spends about 4% of GDP on "defence".

That’s incorrect. You’re not including non-discretionary spending. Why not? Non-discretionary spending makes up most of the budget. All entitlement programs such as Medicare and social security are non-discretionary mandatory spending which completely dwarf defence spending.

Why? You sure don't mind prescribing how everyone else should. Why? They lost. And they're a tiny minority. We get to make those decisions, not them.

I read and support all your posts C2015.

True face of a falling islamic republic regime: https://thehill.com/opinion/international/486438-coronavirus-the-true-face-of-iran Oppressive, totalitarian regimes are not noted for flexibility or responsiveness. Last month, faced with a citizenry in open rebellion and humiliated by its forced admission that it had shot down a plane full of innocent civilians, Tehran’s ruling mullahs went back to the classic playbook of authoritarian tactics. They disqualified fully one-third of the sitting members of the Majlis, Iran’s parliament, from running for reelection — because they appeared to have the unnerving habit of thinking independently. Then they disqualified at least 7,000 other would-be candidates — because they seemed untrustworthy. Then they conducted what amounted to sham elections and installed a new legislature filled with hardliners and representatives of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. That only a little more than 42 percent of the country bothered to vote did not concern the ayatollahs in the least. But things are different now. The old plays may not work anymore. Man has so far failed to end 40 years of Iran’s theocratic domestic tyranny and international terror, but Mother Nature may yet succeed. The coronavirus that is sweeping the globe is tearing the heart out of Iran, and the thugs who rule that nation appear powerless to even slow its spread. Iran has admitted to 145 dead from the disease. Opposition forces are saying that there have been closer to 1,800 fatalities. Member of Parliament Gholamali Jafarzadeh characterized the government’s figures as “a joke” and added that no matter what the government said it would be impossible to hide the cemeteries. Iranian officials have been particularly hard hit by the virus. At least 23 Members of Parliament are confirmed to have the disease. That’s 10 percent of the nation’s parliament. Two of newly elected MPs have DIED from the virus In addition two ayatollahs also DEAD one being former islamic ambassador to Vatican and second a deputy to the head of Iran’s Judiciary. The Deputy Health Minister and Vice-President tested positive a week ago. Another senior official, the head of the nation’s emergency services, has also now been confirmed to have COVID-19. The Iranian government was aware many weeks ago that it had a problem on its hands, but paranoid and determined at all times to project a false image of invincibility, it did what it typically does. It lied. It covered up. It avoided taking any action that might suggest that it was anything less than infallible. Flights to and from China continued unabated. Pilgrims to Shia shrines were allowed to move freely as if their piety would protect them from illness. The holy city of Qom, epicenter of the virus in Iran, remains crowded with worshippers. They are jammed into crowded, unsanitary conditions, coughing, sneezing and exchanging germs by licking holy shrines in hope the epidemic will spare them. Tehran’s admission that it shot down an Iran Air airliner was another critical moment in the nation’s history. It exposed the regime for what it is — not only oppressive, but grossly incompetent. Each new coronavirus death in Iran, sends the same message, over and over and over. This is a regime that not only brutalizes its people but fails to deliver even the most basic services and protections that any nation state must provide. In the recent elections, it was Iran’s poor who participated least. Precisely those individuals who the regime claims to represent were least interested in another sham. Those same people, the great mass of Iranian society, are now the ones dying and being buried in hastily dug graves without ever having seen a doctor. Yet it may be that this horrifying epidemic will bring with it a silver lining. By showing the true face of Iran’s leaders, the coronavirus may finally lead the Iranian people to rise up and end their 40-year nightmare.

The better approach would be for the non-primitive societies to be more self-confident and less self-destructive. There is no reason to let hijackers, for example, use an airplane they couldn't have built to destroy buildings they couldn't have built.

Which both continue to this day. Quebec's insular attitude and tribal vote have given it considerably more power within confederation than Ontario, despite the latter's larger size and wealth. And Quebec has always been the most corrupt of our provinces. This must be quite an old book. The Canadian chattering classes (artists, writers, academics, media) no longer talk about Canadian greatness. Instead the narrative is Canada is a horrifically awful country populated by the racist descendants of cruel, evil, exploitive, murderous, racist, homophobic butchers and barbarians. There is nothing good about Canada's past and if you try to say otherwise you're obviously immoral. Welcome back, btw.

Not overlooked just lost to history... Again

Well, I have no need of access to Europe through another means and the Canada I knew isn't altogether gone, so I'd just as soon continue to resist mass immigration here.

Biden hasn't faced any adversity yet in this campaign cycle. He's going to fold like a cheap tent when he has to answer for all of Hunter's ill-gotten gains. Dems couldn't touch on the topic of Hunter because if they go after Joe on that topic, they're acknowledging Trump was right when he sought to get an investigation started. Trump can talk about Hunetr all day. Hunter Biden's millions in gifted job appointments/business deals will sink Joe's battleship, if he even makes it to the fall. He's clearly losing his marbles.
