Here's the thing myata - there's a laundry list of false claims made climate alarmists and that whole list of dire predictions has been a flop. Now their polar ice cap claim is going backwards. You can believe what you want, but we both know that I am 100% correct in saying that their track record is o-fer. FYI climate alarmism is one of the oldest scams known to man.

Exactly, and the only facts that we have to go on right now show that man-made climate predictions have all been dead wrong. Ice in the Antarctic has actually grown over the past 4 decades and last I saw it was the largest ever. Arctic ice has also been growing for the last 4 years. I'm not sure what you're talking about. If I was saying that man-made climate change is a big deal and it's their fault, that would be 'blaming', but I never said climate change was anyone's fault. I was pointing out the hypocrisy of the people in power and the influencers that are trying to push the idea of climate change on us. Do you think that it's not hypocrisy for DiCaprio et al to tell people not to drive cars while they're cruising in private jets, or for Trudeau to tell us not to drive while he's dedicating an entire commercial airliner to flying a propaganda crew with him? You can believe in man-made climate change if you want, I'm still 100% skeptical and with very good reason.

Andrew Coyne's column makes for gloomy reading. There's not a lot of new information in it, but he points out that the earnestly stupid Liberals are eagerly planning on massively ramping up spending even as we exit covid, and that there's really no alternative in the wings since the Tories are visionless, leaderless and lack even the most rudimentary ideas other than imitating the Liberals. He also makes the point that the only way to counter this is a platform built on growth in the economy - not redistributing money but making more. Focusing on growth with broad policies to encourage industry (which to my mind also means cutting the red tape off natural resources), cutting corporate taxes and corporate welfare and tax loopholes, and cutting interprovincial trade barriers. It would be a brave program which would catch people's attention. Unfortunately, 'brave' does not seem to be among the attributes of Erin O'Toole. And if he has any vision or ideas he's keeping them well-hidden. But it is clear the Liberals intend this budget to be something else again, a transformative document that will not only “reimagine economic systems ,” as the Prime Minister has it, but redefine the relationship between government and society, seizing the “opportunity” (the Prime Minister, again, but also the Finance Minister) of the COVID-19 pandemic to expand the size and scope of government, radically and permanently – and, not incidentally, kick off the Liberals’ re-election campaign. All told, the C.D. Howe Institute, in an unusually gloomy “Shadow Budget,” projects the federal debt, far from the gradual decline relative to GDP forecast in the fall economic statement, is likely to rise, first slowly then rapidly, cresting at 60 per cent of GDP by the end of the decade and climbing to more than 66 per cent in the decade after that. Older readers will recall that was the level the federal debt reached at the height of the mid-1990s debt crisis. Let us suppose, just for the moment, that there were an opposition party that was even faintly troubled by any of this; let us suppose, even more outlandlishly, that it was prepared to do something about it. It will not be enough for that unnamed party merely to say no to Liberal spending schemes: The Liberals are itching to spend the next election campaigning against “austerity.” It will need, rather, to present an alternative vision, as compelling in its own way – or at least, compelling enough.

I actually have to agree with you, and Andrew Coyne of course, on this one. All forms of deficit spending -- whether based on liberal left economic theory (Keynsianism rebranded as MMT over the past 10 years or so) or the rightwing varieties like supply side economics -- cut taxes (especially business, investment and estate taxes) so low that governments can't pay for essential services (except military procurements of course) and in both the left and right sides of standard economic theory, future economic growth is supposed to take care of everything, and shrink those deficits! In reality, the ballooning deficits we are creating today, may indeed be excused by trying to maintain economic activity in the midst of the worst disease pandemic in a century. But, nevertheless, all of the red ink being written every day now by all levels of government, business and personal debt of the vast majority of people today, all of these debts have to be paid back in the future OR our currency along with the USD, the LB and the Euro will end up insolvent when the time comes that a consensus of debtholders start believing that they won't get paid back in the future, or will only be paid back a fraction of what they are owed. I'm expecting this from two "guaranteed" pension funds I've just started collecting on, aside from the modest CPP....which I don't believe will be indexed to future inflation levels either. So, I'm hoping that my modest private holdings, property values, and so far at least -- continued good health will make it possible for me to continue working in the future if and when I need to. I'm not expecting the good times to continue rolling on now as the shit starts to really hit the fan in the future! So, my thinking is about as nihilistic as most millennial kids.. like my two sons who still don't see a point to saving for retirement off in some distant future that looks impossible to most young people today. Whether we consider ourselves communitarian socialists or rightwing individualists, we have to deep six all fanciful notions that the future will pay for the greed and plundering of resources and fouling up the environment we do today. Our political, business and thought leaders all seem to acting on the presumption that we can just continue borrowing from the future and leaving a more indebted and unlivable world for those who come after us. Our primitive ancestors who had to try to understand and try to live in harmony with the conditions of their local environments, all seemed to share beliefs that there were limits to how much game they could hunt, fish, or burn tracts of forests for both hunting and planting favorite foods. If they exceeded whatever the elders determined to be the "limits to growth," it was time to divide the community, and at least some of the people had to move on to new lands. But as things got more crowded, that became increasingly difficult and led to wars over territory. And then clueless Euro's arrived on these shores who, after leaving their diseased, crowded, and warring homelands, thought they arrived in a big, bountiful candy store and just had to kill off enough of the locals to lay claim to pristine new lands that would provide evermore bountiful harvests for everyone till time immemorial. Now, it's time to end this way of thinking entirely and make all nations of the world live within resource and ecological limits of this planet...that's running out of non-renewable resources right now, barely 200 years into the "industrial revolution." And this is where all talk of money, debt and economic theory has to intersect with the real world of resources and resource limits, no matter what worldview and set of theories you want to work with!

Whereas many hundreds of thousands have died from Covid, and many more hundreds of thousands have suffered long term and possibly permanent injury from Covid.

True...but I want to take to the opportunity to get Ashli's name out there. It's a story that needs to be told and retold. The state and corportate media won't tell us so I'll take advantage of a few trolls to get it out there. Not just who killed Ashli Babbitt but "Who was Ashli Babbitt?" There's one that's worth knowing. Ashli was worth knowing about.

I would expect a guy who pretends to care about or even know the proper way to use words to know the difference between "leading" and "with the group at the lead." She was with a group trying to enter a hallway. She stood there with another group of Capitol security officers. The plain clothes agent who shot her without warning stood hidden off to the side of the of the other side of the door as she tried to climb through the window without resistance from the officers standing next to her as she did so. Here's one with more facts but you won't read because you have no interest in facts: Who Killed Ashli Babbitt Keep yammering though. A good troll likes to display his ignorance. I'll use the opportunity to quote you some more facts from that one and others.

She didn't buy them "over time", she bought them all since 2016: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9479179/BLM-founder-defends-property-empire-reveals-spent-week-security.html Most of BLM's useful idiots call Michael Brown "the Gentle Giant", but to her he was a cash cow. She calls herself a 'movie producer', that's why she's so good at editing videos to make the police look bad: Don't forget that one of BLM's talking points was to get rid of bodycams. Pretty weird that the people who really want police to be accountable also want them to be able to 'go dark' to conduct their business. What they really want is for the police to be defenceless when BLM is sending out edited videos for their fear mongering. That's why AG K. Ellison (a Demonrat) kept the bodycam footage of G Floyd under lock and key for so long - they knew that it would destroy their false narratives. The Floyd riots ended almost instantly after that came out. OMGF, how scary is that? 1st rule of dog training: be smarter than the dog..... How is this stupid skank supposed to teach high school grads? She shouldn't even be training people to work the McNugget fryer.

She was a white woman that was murdered by a DC cop. No problem here. Case closed. But I have to wonder if that woman had been black and was shot by that same white cop would she just become a write off also? No gawd dam way. We do not even know as to who the cop was that shot the woman. It's being kept a secret. Why? "Under direct orders from the President"? Such bull chit indeed. Trump told his supporters to be peaceful. Not go and cause havoc and chaos. Another example of the fake and lying leftist liberal American media trying to make Trump look bad. Wake up is what more people need to do. Just saying.

She is a white race hater but yet she moves into an 88% white neighborhood. Can anyone take this BLM lying buffoon serious anymore? Obviously, some here do.

Oh boy. There can be no doubt in my mind that the majority of Canadians are stupid. It's all I can come up with. No names mentioned.

Geez, if this is what being a Marxist is all about, I might as well become a Marxist also, and be able to go buy three homes for myself on my meager pensions. After all, are we not all equal?

Of course they won't. Just like they didn't say the name of the 16 yr old killed by the CHAZis. Those god-damned worthless terrorists can't use it to create racial division or fear monger police so the topic is verboten.

Communists like yourself and Cougar squirm when confronted with what everyone else sees about you both. If you feel better being referred to as 'woke' . . . . . Please list your 100 reasons.

Meanwhile...a real tragedy that people should be upset about. But there will be no riots...or endless media coverage...or anything, really. She's just gone and nobody will remember in a few days. Will BLM even say ANYTHING? I really doubt it.... https://www.foxnews.com/us/chicago-mcdonalds-drive-thru

I think people have to be willfully ignorant of the demographics of Ontario to know where the HotSpots are. We don't need Postal Codes to imagine where these places are. GOOD NEWS! Tomorrow people 40+ can get Astrazenca. Being 40+ I'll try to get one. If only to not have to worry about seeing family and friends anymore.

The problem that the Conservatives face is that the MSM is a bunch of radicalized socialists who will obliterate the Conservatives for forgetting to dot an i or cross a t, while the PM can wear blackface and call the Japanese ambassador Chinese all day long. The PCs have to play the game the way the media lets them play it or they are finished. I was really hoping that Dr Lewis would win the leadership of the Conservatives because she's the only person in the party right now who can say intelligent, meaningful things without being branded as a racist Nazi slaveowner by the CBC and CTV.

In North America we have a tendency to own up to our own flaws but that's not so for the rest of the world. It makes us wide open to hypocritical criticisms from other corners because if you mention the flaws of any other region it's somehow racist. Holocaust denial is quite popular in the ME, and the Turks still deny the Armenian Genocide for Pete's sake. There's even a popular podcast called "The Young Turks" which tries to be condescending, it's no better than having a show called the neo-Nazis. You can't tell leftists that though, Cenk Uyger is a hero to the uninformed.

America was fighting to defend freedom in the west in proxy wars in N. Korea, Vietnam, etc. It was your freedom also that they were fighting for during the cold war with Communist USSR. In Iraq they were fighting against ISIS extremists. In Afghanistan, NATO, including Canada, the UK, and U.S.A were fighting Al Qaida jihadist extremists who attacked America on 9-11 and killed over 3,000 people. You need to learn something about world affairs and the ongoing struggle between Communist Russia, China, and the west, as well as radical Islam. The new cold war will be between America and it's allies on one side and Russia and China on the other. That's just the way the world is. You either defend your side or be subdued and taken over in the world. Stop imbibing Communist propaganda for a start.

Canada as a nation has being doing this for decades, we love to point fingers and blame others for everything , shit we have been blaming the US for all our problems, for as long as I can remember, we have not taken reasonability for anything, yes we like to say sorry, Justin has made an entire career out of it, we pay them some money, and then forget about it... We are a nation of cheap ass, mouth breathing, pecker woods that can not or will not make a decision if our lives depend on it... our government has been shitting on our doorsteps for decades and all we do is step over it.... and vote them in for another term... and some have explained this type of thinking well out of all the parties he is the less dangerous candidate thats what it come to... and then we wonder Why are we so f*** up, Why can we not get anything done. A one time we drove a railroad across the entire country, built major road nets along the same paths, we accomplished what no other nation was capable of on Vimy ridge, we raised an entire military from nothing into the one of the largest in the world... And today we can't even get a pipe line built across BC, let alone the east coast pipe line. But we can dance our asses off in a gay pride parade, or let special interest groups block a major railway...

Your post is my nomination for post of the year, 2021. Literally everybody needs to see this hypocritical bitch try and commie-splain her way out of this. NYPost is clearly the only relevant newspaper in America right now.

If you look at the Michael Brown shooting with the benefit of hindsight, Fox News covered it perfectly and CNN/MSNBC et al completely mischaracterized the whole event and caused an insane amount of damage because of it. The videos were out right from the beginning of M Brown violently robbing the store, but CNN kept letting people come on and talk about "the Gentle Giant", they kept acting like he was just an unarmed kid shot with his arms in the air, they acted like racism somehow played a part, and there was never any good reason for CNN to believe that any part of their narrative was true. People lost their businesses, cops were killed, BLMers tortured a retarded kid, there was country-wide rioting, and for what? Just because a violent idiot got his stupid ass killed for trying to steal a cop's gun and kill him with it. CNN is evil, the Dems are evil, and their sycophant dolt horde are just a bunch of worthless morons.

Sounds like that hideous skank is really oppressed.

Even if that were all there was to it would that excuse a self-proclaimed "Trained Marxist's" hypocritical extravagance? You seem anxious to believe anything though so I'll help you out. Here's Patsy herself reaching deep for a way to fast talk her way out of it: Made me laugh, myself, but I thought you might like it. She's just helping out her black family, you see, cause "Black."

There is no evidence she used BLM funds for those properties. She is a college professor and TV produce with two book deals and a YouTube deal. Someone in that position could have easily bought 3 million worth of properties over time.
