We're done with agreeing. You fail to see...a line has been crossed. Let's hope you have the catbird's seat...eh?

Exactly DOP. Get ready to be "Flynn-flammed"

Enjoy your coffee. You don't get it...but smugly think you do.

Like my great aunt Marie OftenWrong said, "Let them eat leftism."

Government actions that deprive and prevent legal commerce should be limited by legislative frameworks that require a state of emergency declaration with approvals and renewals by elected representation, not an unlimited time horizon. To the extent that this constitutes a government taking for the public good, compensation should be awarded to harmed parties.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! ??

Of course the petition will not bring down the government, it is at best a wake up call. The hope is that it will make our leaders recognize the problem, so they will see the need to address it. No luck so far. You think that our government is giving money to help people through a crisis that the virus has created. I believe the government lock downs created the problem, and their solution was to borrow more money, return it to the people who will need to repay it and then expect them to be grateful. That way everyone can keep enjoying their pleasant dreams. During the pre crisis years did Justin use this time to reduce the debt, and prepare us for leaner times? No he did not do that, his solution to rising debt was to borrow money to pay it. Is this what is referred to as fiscal responsibility? No it is not. The government has borrowed 300 billion dollars, to address the problem, at the same time gdp (our resources that enable us to fund government spending) was reduced by 38%. Do some people see this as a problem? Yes they do. Is Justin one of them? No he is not. At a time when we were running a $19 billion deficit we have added 30% to our debt and reduced our resources to 62% of pre crisis levels. In the latest quarter with some easing of restrictions gdp rose by 9%. One would assume that this would mean that it is now 71% of our pre crisis level. Of course the 9% increase is on 62% of our remaining gdp. This means that we are now now operating at 67% of the former gdp. While some see this as progress, we are in fact adding more to a debt that was increasing under much better times. This is of course added to, not subtracted from government deficits. My hope is that people will recognize the problem, and demand change, perhaps I am aiming too high.

As you mentioned...spit on folks for years and then expect benevolence and forgiveness? They've got themselves a war instead. I'm a Canadian...and I'm pissed off. I can only imagine what's going-on in the minds of the more militant members of the Trump Train.

I have doubts that any appearance of "division" will be even tolerated. These people are incensed, complete haters. They want to "go after" Trump supporters. Either we get along, or you will be punished. Right wing expression is suppressed. From now on, the right may only speak in quiet whispers, in dim-lit corridors!

Live...Theft Oversight Committee in Georgia.

Bobble-head Bonnie . . . . . . anyone making these? How about Christit'sa Freeloader, or Turd-o? We need bobble-heads!

That God Damned White Man.

Oh yeah. CBC chivattos are in there like a dirty shirt

Amazing too how things in the media have quieted down. Right away, before any executive action could even have an effect. As soon as Trump is gone, black men are no longer being shot by the police. No doubt because Obama told them to settle down.

Not after what we've seen for the last 4 years. You can't spit in people's faces every day and then come back with "can't we get along?" the next. They even blocked financial aid to Americans during the pandemic, because Trump. Still those very same leaders got re-elected. So let them reap the harvest they have sown for themselves.

The amazing thing is that the Left think it's now business as usual. After you take the walk into the long sweet night, that is... Well...that's not going to happen. Despite Bubber's laughy face emojis.

I need not concede anything, myself. So I'm not nice. But honestly I don't believe anything in the media nowadays, from either "side". Age of information, my eye.

They allowed nothing. Trump rose to power on his own, DESPITE the failed GOP. Americans voted in Biden et al, so now that's their choice. You want leftism for Christmas? Ho ho ho.

So anyone who doesn't support Trump's fantasy about an election stolen is a Chinese plant? That's just great. It's the thing about Conspiracy Theories, the net of people that are "In On It" becomes so large that you're forced into a constant state of paranoia. The GOP are now eating their own. They allowed a Con-man who lives off of Conspiracy Theories rise to the head of their party, this is the end result. They have themselves to blame.

Not all the GOP members supported Trump. Those paid in Chinese yuen, for example. The GOP have failed themselves, and America. Therefore let the chaff be burned, in cleansing flames. You people want leftism? You got it. In SPADES

The Swamp... The time for talk is slipping away. The Left/Democrats demand surrender...doubt they're going to get it. Now what, wise ones?

Okay. Now do Biden.

But even at a more fundamental level, the very notion of Canadian nationalism is problematic because of several historical reasons. Also, embracing nationalism and implicit identity is again cause for alarm because that is too "American". Nationalism and culture will continue to morph because of internal and external influences that have far easier impact through globalism, immigration, media, and demographics. Looking back now, this isn't a new process considering Canada's "great flag debate" of the 50's and 60's, as an example. Some of the traditional customs and values will die with those who hold them dear.

OK, but to whatever degree that may be the case, there are still internal and external forces that dilute and diminish such notions for a Canadian identity and nationalism. Economic and cultural externalities, a PM's policies that define Canada as a "post-national state", media references to "North American" attributes, and globalism all present a challenge. At least one constant remains, even if only for appearances sake...the Americans...a reliable foil for political and cultural distinction when required or demanded.

The deficits are indeed annual, but when you string several of them together during times of prosperity and difficult times alike, they do become cumulative. When you say critics of Trudeau like me and other conservatives like me, you know not of which you speak. I believe in people not in political parties. I am grateful for prime ministers that were fiscally responsible and were responsible stewarts of our resources. Among the post war PMs that I respect are Louis St Laurent (liberal) , John Diefenbaker(progressive conservative), Lester Pearson (liberal), Jean Chretien (liberal) and Paul Martin (liberal). Although he was never prime minister I also admire Tommy Douglas our last nation builder who was leader of the CCF which we now know as the NDP. I don't think that Justin is a bad prime minister because he is a liberal, I think it is a result of unfortunate genetics. His father Pierre was prime minister under two separate tenures for a total of 14 years. During that time he was responsible for a 738% rise in the federal debt. His mother Margaret during his formative years was a flower child noted for her fondness of recreational drugs, and partying through the night with the Rolling Stones, and other celebrities of questionable virtue. You may be infatuated with Justin, but others see him as a real menace. There is often a feeling of fatality, people believing that there is nothing that they can do make needed change. This is not totally true. Most people know that a prime minister needs the confidence of parliament to remain in power. It is also true that the PM needs the confidence of the Canadian people. If anyone believes that we need a change in leadership, and is looking for a way to contribute, there is a petition for the removal of Justin Trudeau from office. This can be found at: https://www.change.org/p/canadian-house-of-commons-at-least-1-million-signatures-to-remove-pm-justin-trudeau-and-his-liberal-government

And laughed out of court again, often by Republican judges.

I agree 100%, i think they got into the trough and started to spend like a mad man,

What is it with Canadians and the United States ? Nobody said that Canada was wicked. The YouTube video is from a Canadian. ...and how much respect English Canada would have for them decades later.

It's not necessarily a "problem", just a well documented circumstance. Canada's version differs somewhat from many of the others listed in that: 1) The United States sought independence from Britain and British North America (Canada), not the other way around. French Canada had already been vanquished for Britain (1763). 2) Colonial Canada rejected voluntary and involuntary overtures to join the United States in preference to "loyalism" to the Crown and all things British. This also led to internal conflict with Quebec that continues to this day. 3) Canada pivoted to the United States economically and culturally after both World Wars and collapse of the British Empire, leaving one sphere of influence in favour of another (more viable) one, only to fear becoming "Americanized" by doing so.

Yes: The "build back better" thingy is part of "The Great Reset" from the World Economic Forum: https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/07/to-build-back-better-we-must-reinvent-capitalism-heres-how/ This is some odd international governmental social engineering campaign (an excuse to spend money it sounds like). The Liberal's Chrystia Freeland is one of the World Economic Forum's trustees, as is Al Gore. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Economic_Forum#Organization These are some of the elites that meet in Davos every year.

Yes, the latest shared messaging by these birds of a feather is "Build Back Better".

CBC referred to Trump's 46 minute video as a 'diatribe' as did many other POS MSM agencies. Yeah...that will mend fences...your concerns are a diatribe while I go and eat at a fancy French restaurant with my buddies.
