Considering that 'The Plumbers' was the name given to Nixon's illegal goon squads, I doubt that using it for the Dems is a good choice..........but then, that's just me. "The White House Plumbers, sometimes simply called the Plumbers, the " Room 16 Project ," or more officially, the White House "Special Investigations Unit" was a covert White House Special Investigations Unit, established within a week after the publication of the "Pentagon Papers" in June 1971, during the presidency of Richard Nixon.

Yes, it's important to focus on spreading dangerous misinformation in violation of public health orders. This forum would go to shit otherwise.

Yes, basically we are in a waiting game. At least 4 states illegally changed their laws concerning mail in ballots, and then counted the illegal ballots. In Georgia alone, there were 2.5 million mail in ballots, and only 951 were rejected! That itself is simply impossible. But there were many other illegal actions. In PA they disregarded Alito's ruling on the segregated ballots until after the fact. Others post dated mail with the previous day's date, also illegal. They also accepted ballots with no signature, and the list goes on and on. And this is without the Dominion voting machines, connected to the internet when they weren't supposed to be, with memory cards disappearing, numbers changing and more. But Justice John Roberts is concerned about reputation? The US is in danger of becoming a banana republic, hopefully the other 5 justices can talk some sense to him. If only to put their approval on the election and to prevent states from leaving the union, they need to hear this case.

So how united are the Republicans behind Trump? Not very. But they are scared of his rabid followers. Which is, again, the sort of thing you find in a cult. But Ward pointed to the overall mood among Trump's base as a more pressing issue. She told The Times that were she to come out and say she would not sign a letter drafted by Republicans in the lower chamber — which calls for Pennsylvania's congressional delegation to reject the state's electoral votes for President-elect Joe Biden — she would face the wrath of Trump's most fervent supporters. "If I would say to you, 'I don't want to do it,' I'd get my house bombed tonight," Ward said. https://www.businessinsider.com/pennsylvania-gop-leader-worries-house-would-be-bombed-trump-election-2020-12

They impeached him for using government funding to blackmail a foreign leader to try to get him to launch a criminal investigation of his election rival.

There will be a civil war in the USA. We should be providing everyone over the age of 15 with guns.

Trump failed at locking her up. It's almost like he invents crimes for political purposes. Says the Trump fan.

Even Jason Kenney has realized that things will get out of control, unless there are restrictions. Alberta's hospitals have reached their capacity and if the current trend continues, COVID patients will need to be put into hallways. There aren't enough nurses and doctors to handle the major overload. Do you think that this is all a hoax? That every single politician, including Jason Kenney is out to get you? How can there be so many people, at different levels, from different parties, all around the world, be part of some elaborate hoax? How does this make sense in your brain? Look at Alberta's cases: They have as many cases as Ontario, and their population is 1/4 of Ontario. Seriously? Do you think this is all a hoax? @Nefarious Banana? @cannuck? You two have "thanked" his post. Do you two also think this is all a hoax?

Yes, masks on all the time. They take them off only for lunch and sex; then back on they go.

They have full hazmat suits in the hospitals when treating COVID infected patients. If those flimsy cheap blue masks were all they needed, why would they? So the mask wearing is largely a government orchestrated hoax, aimed to camouflage the Government's inability to deal with the situation and be able to control the virus. The virus is controlling the government, making it spend and spend and spend. I do what most of us do, wear the stupid mask when I enter an institution and take it out when I come out. Depending on what mask I use, I have trouble breathing, especially if I had to run beforehand. I have trouble with my glasses fogging up too. Most likely I will get sick with some mask-wearing related disease or the vaccine before COVID gets me.

I wonder that if the thing is that you must wear a mask anywhere indoors where there are other people doesn't that by that logic mean that you even have to wear a mask even at home if you live with somebody? Oh piss off! Luckily though I live alone.

By definition everything in the above quote is a judgment and therefore cannot be a fact. If you had finished high school you might have known that. Dummy you still don’t get it. Opinions can’t be proven or disproven. They are subjective, not objective. Sub-ject-ive. Go look it up. I already told you and you avoided responding, even Trudeaus accuser said it wasn’t sexual assault. Unlike the many accusations against Trump, reflective of e same behaviour that he is on tape admitting to. I never denied Bill Clintons accusations because unlike you I’m not a brainless follower who needs to worship a political leader as a god. Too much lying, bullshiting gaslighting and repeating already debunked false claims in this quote to go through again, we’ve dealt with it already. And through that whole pile of shit you never even answered the question: has the whole world been fooled and you’re among the select few who knew the real truth? Or is the whole world in your side and only a select few oppose trump? Answer the damn question Your whole position that anyone who doesn’t subscribe to your far-fetched and implausible election conspiracy claims is automatically a conspiracy nut themselves is another of your retarded claims. It is not a conspiracy theory to say that the very small number of people involved in Trumps false claims are lying. It is, however a whacko conspiracy theory to claim that the thousands involved in the election, the media, the “deep state”, fellow Republican state officials and judges etc etc are all conspiring together with communist countries,Iran, the ghost of Hugo Chavez, North Korea and all the other absolutely fucking crazy batshit that you fruitcakes have come up with and swallow without question

Good thing they censored the Hunter Biden nonsense during the last stretch of the campaign! People might’ve believed he was involved in some wrongdoing! Oops. So, how does the censorship of all this during the height of the campaign get rectified? How convenient that it’s too late. Perfect for the Biden campaign though. What a coincidence!

Those damn Russians!

Two anyway. Not so much just RINO's as outright traitors though. The Chinese may have Governor Kemp in their pocket. The Secretary of State, Ratsinburger looks to be more a Democrat than a Republican.

If you look at todays military maps of CFB Suffield the blast radius are clearly marked on each map, even today rings out to 50 km from blast site. Suffield is also the home of Canada's NBCW center, since the 50's they have been researching chemical agents, and their effects, many vets are on specials pension from these effects after being used as live test subjects, not to mention the thousands of farm animals that were used as test cases for nerve, blister, blood, and other agents, it is here where they developed our gas mask still in service today, and items like atropine injectors, chemical detector paper, etc.... they use to give tours of the research facility there, not sure if it's even there now. they have sort of a museum that has declassified movies about the test you mentioned above and them using nerve agent on sheep etc . if your interested in that sort of thing Today there are tracks of the training area that are strictly off limits due to the agents that were used or dispersed there...they are fenced and marked off with chemical agent signs... Suffield is the second largest training area in Canada

https://www.britannica.com/science/virus Virus, infectious agent of small size and simple composition that can multiply only in living cells of animals, plants, or bacteria. The name is from a Latin word meaning “slimy liquid” or “poison.” It is not the virus that closed our hospitals while people were dying on waiting lists, it was not the virus that spent $300 billion paying people to not contribute to our economy while adding to the debt that will rob health care of future funding. It was elected leaders who did that. There is some commonality between the two though, so I can see where you went wrong.

Nope....the U.S. was very "anti-democratic" by design for many decades, favouring tax paying landowners and white males. The KKK "cult" gained political power in several states after the Civil War and Reconstruction. Women didn't get the federal vote until 1920. And for specific presidential elections, see 1824....very "anti-democratic"...but constitutional. Enjoy the Trump show from Canada....but he is just another U.S. president.

The Duffygate 'scandal' began in 2012 and it was still a regular item in the news right through 2015. CBC was calling it 'an election issue'. The SNC scandal broke in Feb 2019. Just last year. When was the last time you saw an SNC story on the news? Do you hear much about the obstruction of justice there? CBC loved the topic of Trump theoretically obstructing justice when Trump didn't even commit a crime, but Justin's actual obstruction of justice is somehow no big D to the CBC????? Where have you ever heard that SNC Lavalin was caught bribing a politician with $2.3M for a bridge contract, aside from when I post it here? Shouldn't Canadians be aware of the fact that the company that Trudeau subverted our democracy for has a recent court-documented history of bribing politicians? The We scandal is larger than the SNC scandal, and it's orders of magnitude larger than the Duffygate scandal. It is almost exactly 10,000 times as much money. Even the amount that Trudeau's mom got directly from We is almost 4x as much as the whole Duffygate scandal. The We scandal just came out in July. Do you still hear about the We scandal on TV? The obstruction of justice in the We scandal was brazen and atrocious. Documents were heavily redacted to the point of being useless, then destroyed altogether. Do you hear much about that now, just 5 months later, or do we hear crickets? CBC and CTV allowed Trudeau to act as is the whole We scandal amounted to a matter of "I should have recused myself from the obvious decision of choosing We", and then they stopped covering the story altogether. It's gone. So Duffygate (who paid back the $90K?) was a 3 year, front-page scandal. SNC was less than a year, We was less than half a year. Duffygate was more than twice the story of both of those scandals put together, and yet the other scandals were both far more serious. CBC and CTV are utterly worthless, aside from their value to the Libs as propagandists. They're 100% as bad as Xinhua and NoKo news. Period.

But they didn’t accept the results. They called him an illegitimate president before he was ever sworn in. Hillary Clinton constantly insisted that Russia won the election for Donald Trump. Other Democrats continued to push the conspiracy theory that Russia changed votes in voting machines, including the person he’s picked to be his OMB director. Hypocrite much?

I agree that the monarchy is a bit of a clown-show, but the biggest threat to democracy from a Canadian POV is our state-controlled media. The extent to which our media protects Trudeau and demonizes the conservatives and their supporters is no joke now. The relationship between our media and the Libs is the same as the relationship between Xinhua and Xi, NoKo News and KJU, etc. They're in lock step, and there is no real opposition in a country where the gov't has complete control over the media. A perfect example of "weakening our ability and effectiveness at criticizing undemocratic institutions in other countries" was when Trudeau tried to pontificate to the the Chinese Gov't about how "the Canadian gov't doesn't interfere in judicial processes so we can't intervene on behalf of Meng Wanzhou" and then Xinhua busted him for intervening on behalf of SNC. Our own media wouldn't even call Trudeau out for that, so now we have communist news agencies talking down to us about our failed democracy.

Gutfeld is brilliant. He makes more original, insightful and intelligent comments in a week than all the talking heads on CNN and MSNBC make in a year.

Those other countries do not have a constitution with an amending formula like ours. If you will recall, the one attempt at a major amendment was Meech and all it tok to abort that was the quiet single voice of Elijah Harper. With a single word, he killed the Meech Lake Accord. That was just a simple amendment. The abolition of the Monarchy is a lot more complcated than that, but the real obstacle is no politician in their right mind would dare open up that can of cobras. Aside from the problem of what you would replace the monarchy with, you will once again have every loony fringe nut case pushing their own amendments. Remember the Spicer Commission? The Queen does not have much power but she has enormous authority, more authority than the President of the United States. I think it was Michael Valpe who pointed out that the Prime Minister doesn't own the power, he just rents it for a while. Queen Elizabeth has the authority to declare war on, say, Belgium, but only Parliament can vote to spend the money to wage it. That is the authority of Parliament. Authority is the right to make a decision. Power is the ability to carry it out. The Queen does have the authority to appoint and dismiss the Prime Minister. The latter case, unless it was a matter of a loss of confidence in Parliament, would have to be over an issue so grave with the public demanding his removal that she would do that. I would prattle on longer but Coronation Street is coming on

This made to The Five today

OMG, those food tents were for filming the Orville? Is that the Seth MacFarlane sci-fi show? I don't even know what's going on with that thing. It isn't watchable. It's not good sci-fi, it's not good drama, it's not funny, it's just a waste of time. I'd rather watch that old Lost In Space show.

When I was sworn in, I swore to pay true alliegiance to the Queen and her heirs and successors. She is a Canadian Citizen. She is the second longest reigning Monarch in our history. What is really neat is that it doesn't matter if you like her or not. Her position as Queen of Canada is double-baked into the Constitution, as the succession of the Prince of Wales and there is not a blessed thing you can do to change that. Anyone who doesn't want to be lucky enough to live in Canada is free to move to the US.

More to the point... public political discussion has been debased to the level of celebrity chatter. "I don't LIKE the royals" says the teenager as he sucks on a vape... and when he votes that will be the criteria he uses - eschewing any kind of analysis of economic, traditional, political or cultural costs/benefits. These are the adults of today (and I used a 'figurative' not a literal teenager in my example). And this is why I call myself a conservative. Conservative traditions and values allow for acknowledgment of trade-offs, sacrifice, and the value of our traditions. "I don't like Trudeau" "I don't like the Queen" "I don't like socialists" "I don't like racists" turns serious discussion into consumer choice, where every difficult decision becomes the Pepsi challenge. We can't take the vote away from these people, so we should insulate them into their own hives and seal them off.

Yep. But filming for the Orville is essential!

Why?

Canada is not governed nor has any legal connection in any way whatsoever to the British Crown. Our Crown is called the Canadian Crown, and our Queen's official title is "Queen of Canada". Don't worry, you're not a British subject.

This is what American will look like under Biden.

IMO Trump has a 0.01% chance of keeping the Presidency, and even if he did the rioting and adversarial news cycle and rioting would just be worse. America is screwed for 4 years, it's just a matter of how much damage is done. Hopefully the Demonrats don't win the Senate.

Is it compulsory to wear a mask at public spaces in Canada? Here in Finland it is only heavily recommended but lately it has become a social norm to wear a mask. Me too. It is less of a trouble just to wear a mask than to be confronted by occasional busybodies who demand to know the reason why you aren't wearing a mask. Anyone with an ounce of common sense realises that mask-thing is total bollocks but we seem to be lacking in people with common sense. However, it is quite interesting to see how wearing a mask seems to be behind such a high threshold for many western people. Perhaps it is seen as a symbol of being a sheep or a slave. Eastern-Asians consider us westerners completely filthy for not wearing masks. For them wearing masks is part of their culture. They also don't have to worry about not being deemed racist.

Mostly the sheer spectacle I think. Thank Christ he's not our president and it's not our country.

It's his cult and the manner in which it sticks it's tongue up Trump's ass in embrace of his style and political bent that make him so grotesque. Trump as it's often pointed out is merely a symptom of a bigger problem that's been festering for decades.

Aryans? That's the problem. Race-based territories. Lands occupied by various groups over thousands of years that one ethnic group claims is exclusively theirs for eternity. Um...no.

Uh...no. Treaty lands are not the same thing. You cannot buy or own land on a reservation. You cannot benefit from any of the land/income tax exemptions as a non-Indigenous person. You cannot hold a status card that gives you such exemptions.

Natural gas exists in pockets underground. It is relatively clean burning and plentiful. It's a good energy source, certainly better than coal or oil. Be careful what you wish for with "Indigenous Sovereignty". It's defining territory by race, and membership of that race gives privilege (untaxed free land, no income taxes, free education and health care, big infusions of money from Canadian taxpayers outside the Indigenous territory, undisclosed benefits from resource development, and a big kick in the teeth to essential resource infrastructure for all peoples within Canada). We should oppose all forms of "Indigenous Sovereignty", which is simply the pure race-based state living parasitically from taxpayers in another state. It is unsustainable as an independent territory/country unless it is truly independent of all outside economic support. The continued "Indigenous Sovereignty" movement is a con that will bankrupt Canada if not very carefully handled by the courts.

Well the EU outperformed the US, though the EU isn't a single country. It would be interesting to see emission reductions by country in Europe. It's also important to know the baseline emissions per capita, as some countries have substantially lower emissions per capita than the US. Canada has always been a high emissions per capita country due to our cold temperatures and massive distances for transport. However, the emissions are spread out over a huge land mass, so carbon sinks (forests and underwater plants) play an important role in absorption of CO2. The worst-case scenario is high emissions per capita in high population density countries with small canopies/underwater plants. Also, big emitters can show large declines in emissions yet remain high emitters.

An example of how China tries to gain influence over politicians in other countries, starting with local people they believe have promise to work their way higher on the food chain. I have no doubt they're doing this in Canada, too. I do have doubts about how strong our defenses against this are. Or, especially, how much attention our governments would pay to a similar warning by our intelligence agencies. I recall the Ontario Liberal government was warned by CSIS about someone years back being influenced by China and they simply dismissed the warning. A suspected Chinese intelligence operative developed extensive ties with local and national politicians, including a U.S. congressman, in what U.S. officials believe was a political intelligence operation run by China’s main civilian spy agency between 2011 and 2015, Axios found in a yearlong investigation. The case demonstrates China’s strategy of cultivating relationships that may take years or even decades to bear fruit. The Chinese Communist Party knows that today’s mayors and city council members are tomorrow’s governors and members of Congress. https://www.axios.com/china-spy-california-politicians-9d2dfb99-f839-4e00-8bd8-59dec0daf589.html
