This is actually a good, serious question and it is indicative of the real, big problem in this and many other matters. It is the question of balancing interests in a complex modern society. And I agree that no, it's not a given that anyone staking a claim should be entitled to dig and burn and expropriate. There had to be a process of reviewing, discussing and balancing these interests, individual, local community, broader community and the business. And we, citizens being occupied with our daily lives and daily entertainment decided to give away, outsource this responsibility to, generally, "politics". And so now it, politics will decide who owns the stuff under our homes and what will be done to them. Of course, it, the politics will dress it in democratic robes here, the law that your representatives wrote, and there, the government you elected. But that is beside and beyond the point that as citizens we have little control over the important matters, and decisions in the country. And so realistically, if a gold or who knows what deposit is claimed under your house or your community (like that sacred cave in Australia, years after Avatar) it's just too bad. It's the democracy, silly.1 point

Rethinkining could simply mean what it has always meant: government regulation to protect consumers and the environment etc, and different taxes or other measures to redistribute some of the wealth that the wealthy have to the non-wealthy. The problem with a non-market economy is that nobody has ever figured out how to do it in a way that is anywhere near as productive or efficient as a market economy.1 point

If I was an American I'd be less worried about their neighbours' guns than I would be about the old dementia case they supposedly elected opening the border to international crime, disease and terror.1 point

Good luck with that...governments are some of the biggest hogs in the casino...local, provincial, and federal...in equity and bond markets. And on top of that, government retirement and wealth redistribution Ponzi schemes are heavily invested in the casino to finance future entitlements. So no, government will not be reduced to your expectations...ever.1 point

Well we covered that on the other thread, didn't we. I had heard of it. I gave you a link which you pretended to read but obviously didn't. The quote you're so proud of from Powell is a partial quote that lost the meaning you wished for in its full context. Now on Biden's recent gaffe about all the election fraud he was overseeing I'm not sure if that's a gaffe or a Freudian slip. We both know you have personal experience with those, don't we Beave? Tell everybody about the "covid relief bull" again.1 point

Do you let everyone that knocks on your door . . . into your house? Canada has the right and responsibility to its citizens to screen out those that are unsuitable possible citizens. Immigrants should be compatible with the Canada. Not try to change this country to what they left behind.1 point

Verbal gaffe, whatever. The fact is that he makes them at an alarming rate. He’s sheltered 23 hours a day, he only comes out well-rested and talks briefly, never answers questions from the media, he mumbles and stumbles over his kindergarten-level words like an 80-year-old boxer. Even by left-wing standards the man is a moron. I don’t know if I’ve heard of it or not. I’m not clicking a link to one of your idiotic fucking sites.1 point

But you believed her statements to be facts. So are you admitting you’re not a reasonable person? Because you clearly believe that it’s a “fact” that the election was stolen. Wait I know. Cue backtrack: you never claimed that the election was stolen, you’re “just asking questions”, right?1 point

Just recently my wife's father-in-law went through it. He was admitted to a care facility not long before they stopped admitting new patients due to covid. A few years ago when the m-i-l first started mentioning that something was wrong it was totally unnoticeable to us. We thought that she was just exaggerating. Then we went away for Christmas later that year and it was obvious to us all. In his case, from his earliest signs until he died was about 4 years, but being left alone during covid may have spurred it along. His own wife couldn't come visit, obviously his kids and dog couldn't come in, so he was mostly left alone and his brain was mainly idle 24/7. I don't doubt that a person in Biden's position gets a diet that's specific to his condition, loads of vitamins, mental health exercises, etc, and so he'll live more than 4 years, but his lucid moments are already dwindling and that never gets better. His days as a leader are a thing of the past.1 point

The west would be better off to seek sovereignty because central and east are full of liberals and Marxists who have fallen for the man-made climate change scam. All they want to do is shut down our valuable oil industry and scam us with carbon taxes. I don't think O'Toole has much chance with all the eastern Liberals and Marxists running things or should I say ruining things. Too many suckers believe all the Marxist U.N. climate change nonsense.1 point

It REALLY needs to change. There is a dramatic difference between "investing" (what markets SHOULD be for - i.e. IPOs and POs) and simply gambling (buying existing equities or artificial instruments such as derivatives to speculate on their value). We have let the banksters move the movement of money from Main Street (funding that guy who MAKES the gizzmos) to simply trading speculative devices. This is what allows them to re-distribute trillion$$ that must be covered by inflating the money supply to cover their speculative gains. THAT is a direct liability to the taxpayer. Also, shifting the flow of money from investing to speculating means that the barriers to access to market capital to business becomes very high - thus Main Street is de-funded while Wall Street takes the cake and eats it too. We need to put people to work creating wealth, not re-distributing it. The welfare bum in the corner house is no different from the Wall Street whiz kid = neither creates any wealth at all, just re-distributes it. The difference that does exist is one costs the economy billions while the other costs trillions. We SHOULD have had all this shit on the table in '08, but by then Goldman Sucks literally owned government, so instead of being dashed on the rocks for their treachery they were rewarded with unlimited access to the taxpayers back pockets and given complete run of the legislative and regulatory process that once brought them under control after 1929.1 point

If you look at the places that Trudeau brings immigrants, like the middle east and Africa, you will see that's where most of the hate is. Tribalism in Africa and the middle east is what rules. They also have endless wars, revolutions, and fighting. Multiculturalism is a failure and a myth. Trudeau never promoted peace. He does exactly the opposite by generating hate. He is the big divider by constantly telling Canadians they are full of racism, and forcing multiculturalism down everyone's throat and telling Canadians they committed genocide against natives. The CBC and CTV are the biggest promoters of the liberal agenda.1 point
