My question to each candidate: Will you commit to an expedited transition from fossil fuels to nuclear power, electrify, rebuild and expand the rail system and export our nuclear reactors to aid other nations to transition off fossil fuels? Since Western Canada is the Saudi Arabia of Uranium, it is a licence to print money.2 points

Here are some questions I would love to see asked in the upcoming Federal election debates. Questions for PM Trudeau: Liberal The Century Initiative It has been reported that the Liberal government supports The Century Initiative, a plan that is focused on seeing the country of 36 million grow to 100 million by 2100. Have you not considered the impact on the environment of having 100 million Canadians? It is likely that most of the additional 60 million people would live in Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver. How would that impact the country’s ability to manage waste, garbage, increased traffic and air pollution, increased housing? Where are they going to find affordable housing? Where will their garbage and human waste go? How many more vehicles will be producing harmful pollution in these areas? How much more energy/electricity/nuclear power will be consumed? How much additional water will be consumed? The damage to the environment would be catastrophic. How can you possibly be willing to support a plan to destroy the environment of our major cities? https://www.centuryinitiative.ca/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwpf2IBhDkARIsAGVo0D1GeFv5Y4dDFRilmk7AUXIwOI-LPsD3Bosh_eJH7E63u-8YrKO-mg8aAn2REALw_wcB Afghanistan You have suggested that you want Canada to accept 20,000 Afghanistan refugees. Please explain how you will ensure that proper vetting will be implemented. Did you prioritize their, or any non-Canadian, entrance to Canada over Canadians who were left in Afghanistan? How are you going to get stranded Canadians home? What do you say to the Canadian troops who served in Afghanistan, and their families, with respect to how Canada watched as the country was handed back to the Taliban under your watch? Fake News On January 12, 2018, as the PM of Canada, you launched the hijab hoax and spread anti-Asian hate. Despite being the PM and having an infinite amount of resources, investigative experts, advanced technology, you, after three hours on the uninvestigated word of an 11 year old, made a claim that Muslims were under attack. You used this as an opportunity to denounce Islamaphobia. You held a press conference and announced to the world that this horrible attack had occurred. You are a part of this phenomenon of fake news, why did you spread the hijab hoax and why have you never apologized to the Asian community whom you blamed for this hoax? Who is Hang-Kam Annie Chiu? Julianna Kozis? John Wheeler? Jeffrey Northrup? You didn't have a press conferences or express outrage over real hate crimes but you did over a hoax. Why? Black Lives Matter (BLM) BLM: “We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and ‘villages’ that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable.” BLM also aims to “dismantle the patriarchal practice”. You have taken a knee in support of BLM. Their agenda includes defunding the police, advocating violence against the police, promoting Marxist ideologies, and they want to destroy the nuclear family. Their events also promote anti police hate, rioting, and looting. As the PM of Canada, do you support their anti-Police rhetoric? Their goal to destroy the nuclear family? Crime Policy In 2020, Toronto saw 460 shootings. It is becoming more and more common for kids to be shot in cross fire. Malls and parks are housing communities are frequently the targets of these shootings. Your policies that target legal gun owners have been terribly ineffective and gun violence is out of control. Are you not aware that the criminals shooting these guns and killing children are not licensed gun owners? Why are you not taking action against the gangs responsible for these terrible crimes? Human Trafficking Your administration seems to focus on “systemic racism” and slavery which happened in other countries 200 years ago. You have no success or any real plans to address the actual sex slave/human trafficking industry that is thriving in Canada today. Why have you not done anything to stop human trafficking in Canada? It would seem reasonable to Canadians that every available resources should be directed towards rescuing any person who is being held against their will in the sex trade industry. You seemingly never mention this or focus any energy on this very serious and very real issue, why? This should be at the top of your priorities. What will you do to stop this? Black Entrepreneurship Program (BEP) You give money to groups based on race. The Black Entrepreneurship Program (BEP) is a partnership between the Government of Canada, Black-led business organizations, and financial institutions. With an investment of up to $350.8 million over four years, it will help Black Canadian business owners and entrepreneurs grow their businesses and succeed now and into the future. Why do you believe one group lacks the capacity to achieve success? What message is our government sending to Black Canadians that they need to be singled out for additional support exclusive to them and them only? https://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/150.nsf/eng/home Chinese, Jewish people experienced real, legitimate systemic discrimination 100 years ago as well. Any special programs for them? Canada’s confederation took place in 1867 after slavery had already been abolished. There was never slavery in Canada but many people, white people, were brought over as indentured servants. Any program for them? Why do you want Canadian tax payers to support discriminatory programs that help people based on their colour, not based on an individual assessment of their merit? Charter Breach There was a horrific tragedy in London Ontario this year. You held a press conference calling for domestic terrorist charges on the day of the terrible deaths with no facts or he results of any investigation. "Their lives were taken in a brutal, cowardly, and brazen act of violence,” Trudeau said Tuesday. “This killing was no accident. This was a terrorist attack motivated by hatred in the heart of one of our communities." The Charter protects all people with the right to a fair trial. 11. Any person charged with an offence has the right: to be presumed innocent until proven guilty according to law in a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal; You prejudiced the right to assumption of innocence. Why? This was a horrific, disgusting crime yet how could you know the motivation or that hate was in the killer’s heart? How is it appropriate for a PM to make such a comment before the person has had their charter right to a fair trial? Same question for MP Singh MP Singh made similar comments and had a press conference. As a lawyer, how did MP Singh not know that this was a Charter breach? Question for all Candidates I am a person of color bit don't call me that. Call me a proud Canadian. This is a great country with some of the world's strongest human rights protection. I am not a victim of anything. So please don't call me that. Do you believe in systemic racism in 2021? If so, name a single law anywhere in Canada that is racist. Questions for MP Jagmeet Singh: NDP Would it be correct that you claim white supremacists and Nazi organizations in Canada are one of Canada's biggest dangers and that racist, White supremacist organizations are responsible for many deaths in Canada? Alexandre Bissonnette was convicted of a terrible and perverse crime but had no link to any organization. He did have mental health issues. Guilherme (William) Von Neutegem has been charged with a horrific murder but not yet convicted. No evidence has been raised publicly that he has any proven links to any white supremacist or Nazi organization in Canada. It is not yet known, publicly, if the alleged murderer has any mental health issues. Nathaniel Veltman has been charged with one of the worst crimes in Canada’s history. There has been no evidence, as of yet, of any link to any racist organization directing his gruesome, alleged, actions. It was suggested that he had mental health needs and required medication and counseling. https://globalnews.ca/news/7938615/father-suspect-london-attack-unspeakable-crime/ At least two of the three examples .have potential links to mental health issues but not any hate organization. Name one murder in Canada over the past ten or twenty years that can be linked to any of the groups named as domestic terrorist organizations or any Nazi organization in Canada. Name the organization responsible, the victim, and the link between the murder and the organization. How many crimes in Canada can be linked to the Proud Boys? Pro-Khalistan Agenda The worst terrorist attack in Canadian history was executed by a Sikh separatist group. Air India Flight 182 saw the loss of 329 lives. Do you condemn these Khalistani groups who were involved in this terrorist attack? Please provide your clear and unambiguous position on this movement. Discriminatory Focus MP Singh why do you only seemingly focus on crimes in which the suspect is White? You held a press conference after the London tragedy expressing your outrage with racist White people and the threat of Nazis in Canada. Your reaction to Faisal Hussain was very different than to the London horror. You were seemingly not outraged by Faisal’s alleged actions. Why? Why didn’t you have a press conference to express your outrage over the murder of your constituent Marisa Chen? You seemingly had no response to the murder of Dante Andreatta. Why is gun violence not a threat to Canadians in your opinion? There were 460 shootings in Toronto in 2020. Do you believe Nazis in Canada in 2021 are a greater threat to Canadians than gun violence? Who is Hang-Kam Annie Chiu? Julianna Kozis? John Wheeler? Do you believe that white supremacist organizations are a greater threat to Canada than the actual existence of human trafficking? If so, why do you seem more focused on calling out alleged Nazis than taking action to address the horror of human trafficking tahat actually exists in Canada? Question for PM Trudeau and Erin O’Toole Telecom/Internet Gouging Jagmeet Singh and the NDP MPs will introduce a Telecom Consumers’ Bill of Rights, expand cell coverage affordable broadband internet, and put in place a price cap to make sure that Canadians aren’t paying more than the global average for their cell phone and internet bills Would you support this legislation? Why have you not taken any action to protect Canadian consumers from being gouged by the providers? https://www.ndp.ca/lower-cell-phone-bills Thank you1 point

And even if the Ontario stats are credible and trustworthy they aren't anything like evidence the vaccine stops spread. Here's a fun one that's kind of an Abbot and Costello routine on the vaccination: https://blazingcatfur.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/abbot-and-costello-vaccine.jpg This might work if you click it too:1 point

Correct me if I wrong but the graphics from Argus have shown hospitalization numbers but not deaths. I briefly looked for Ontario COVID (Delta) deaths by vaccination status but wasn't successful. Keep in mind, the Covid cases in Ontario from Delta aren't large by any stretch as they are seeing approximately 500 cases per day with a population of 14.5 million versus UK with a population of 66.5 million seeing 35000 cases per day. 5x the population but 70x the daily cases. Just yesterday the UK updated their numbers and it shows 1189 deaths from Delta since Feb 1. 679 (57.1%) of these deaths are from double vaxxed and 390 (32.8%) are from unvaxxed. At the time of this briefing, the vaccination rates in the UK were 60% double vaxxed and 30% unvaxxed which is very close to the death rate percentages. However, keep in mind the data is cumulative from Feb 1 when only 0.7% of the UK was double vaccinated. To truly compare this one would have to cross reference weekly vaccination rates with case counts...not sure I am up for that. LOL. However if you look at the percentage of vaccinated versus unvaccinated for cases, hosptializations and deaths over the last six technical briefings you will see that the percentage of double vaccinated is climbing in every category and the percentage of unvaccinated is decreasing as time time goes on. The above suggests the vaccination effectiveness wanes over time. This is also being seen in Israel where just recently they found that 60% of people hospitalized are double vaxxed. Hence their reasoning for booster jabs.1 point

Okay a little anecdote: Imagine you have been working hard at your job for many years. You're respected and appreciated by colleagues and clients because you're conscientious and effective. You've wanted to move up in the organization, but you need a graduate degree to qualify for the next level position. It's very hard to do part-time studies because you have young kids and a demanding job. Taking a leave from work to go back to school isn't really an option because you have a big mortgage and many expenses. You need to work to pay the bills. You find out through the grapevine that a colleague in the same position that you have who is less competent and has been with the organization fewer years is going to be given a paid leave and full-ride scholarship to do a Master's. When you enquire about the opportunity you are told that the scholarship and paid leave are only available to Black employees. I can't give more specifics than that, but this type of situation is currently happening in a publicly-funded workplace. Whether or not this constitutes a breach of the Charter or what would be deemed a misappropriation of public funds, I believe it's unethical and divisive. I don't think most Canadians would support their tax dollars funding this.1 point

I guess we would need to look at any program in detail To assess the claim. Any anti racism program that costs money could be racist under the criteria.1 point

Well they’ve made their bed, somebody just needs to make them lie in it. They’ve goofed this up in so many ways. In the middle are ordinary Afghan people who are generally poor and poorly educated. I’m talking about the western government’s responsibility to them. They shouldnt be allowed to just walk away and not take heat. Instead they excuse themselves with a lotta hoopla about the Taliban. In case anyone forgets, the Taliban were already in charge of Afghanistan on Sept. 10 2001. But the country was like a lawless region akin to the wild wild west. You could set up a fortress there with your own paramilitary training camp and no one would give a crap. It should also be noted that despite great effort by the west to bestow blessings of democracy upon the Afghanistan people, they subsequently voted in leaders whom were themselves supporters of the Taliban militia. Given the right to vote, they willingly elected Taliban representatives. That’s why, Demockracy, you say? A big joke in hell. Not that I give much of a damn, scarlet. I just want to see some accountability.1 point

I’ve supported vaccination, but if vaccination isn’t paired with the elimination of restrictions, then what’s the point in the inoculation campaign? It really does start to look like a way of enforcing permanent restrictions on the populous. People are going to lose their jobs over vaccine mandates. Movement will be highly restricted. Dan Brown and George Orwell couldn’t have written a better script. Someone with deep pockets please launch challenges to the violations of freedom. We also need challenges on the basis of violations of the constitution.1 point

Ironically, in the light of curfews and lockdowns it can be seen as a story of lighthearted carelessness. Really, in a country hit twice previously by deadly virus epidemics, and should it be mentioned, of the same type, what could be the default answer to a new potentially dangerous virus from the East but "travel from hotspot, not a problem!". It did not stop there, but on the contrary built on on the implicit, justified by neither science, nor experience (common cold; flu) assumption that there will be 1) one; 2) quick; and, necessarily, 3) blank and universal solution, "silver bullet" that would fix the problem. In place of a coordinated set of effective targeted measures that would allow to keep it under control while coexisting with it without restricting life of the society. There were of course some supporting cases - mostly in the movies, though. None of the purported silver bullets have brought the solution any closer so far, but that has not deterred the conviction, if only the contrary. There's no convincing evidence that universal masking does much in reducing the spread in the environments with low level of infection and ample spacing. And yes, there are methods and technologies that could reduce the risk in these environments even further, down from already low. But that would mean letting go of the mind locks and assumptions and get down to real work with results that can be shown and proven. And that appears to be a problem. And so less effective but uniform placebo takes precedentce over intelligence, effectiveness and efficiency. Here we are turning a new page though, and that maybe worth a few words. As every expert should know, the protection effect from these vaccines has expiry time measured in months not years. So what is next, in the stories of mandatory requirements for this and that? What will happen to them in say, six months? And what kind of society does want to, forget talk, even think about that? Coexistence on a large, society-wide scale of the virus with vaccines that do not use natural agent but work directly on immunity system can have serious and easily foreseen, unless in the spirit of everlasting carelessness, effects of springing accelerating production of new variants simply by selection of more resistant mutations. This could turn into accelerating vaccines-variants race with what, anyone cares to predict, consequences? Not a problem! .. Oops.1 point

Trudeau has spoken the next day after Taliban invasion and forced takeover that his government will not recognize Taliban as the legitimate government of Afghanistan and they overthrew an elected democratic government by force so what on earth is this distorted thread. People will not be fooled by this kind of propaganda. Fight the election fair and honest not in this demented manner. I know this guy hates Trudeau but this kind of vicious attack and character assassination is totally unacceptable and will only backfire.1 point

Have you looked at the Conservative platform, lots of spending going on in fact it is spread out over 10 years... i seem to recall that very promise from Justin ....but hey politicians can promise the moon and deliver piles of bullshit. Aga Khan was not fake, costumes in India was not fake,3 times Black face was not fake, groping allegations were not fake, SNC was not fake, nor was all the lying and cover ups fake... And how they handled the Justice minister not fake, WE scandal not fake, Signing on to the new NATO charter, and then telling the world Canada has no intentions of spending the 2 % that was not fake, Not to mention the long list of failed promises they are not fake, not to mention all the cock ups on important files they are not fake... Canada has had enough of fake ... This is a myth, why is it that the conservatives have a climate change plan, it may not be up to liberal standards, but then again liberals have not got much to stand on except a lot of promises not yet kept or put into action...taxing the shit out of fossil fuels is not going to get us any where. Voters are interested , and the fat lady has not sung just yet... where you see nothing but fear, i see hope...1 point

Maybe individual instances ? But we know for SURE that Oil Industry groups pay for gadflies & kooks to make a lot of noise and blur the lines on the science. Maybe not so much lately though. I don't have research on this but I will bet the pro-climate change examples are slight. You would have to change a LOT of research to make a difference in the consensus.1 point
