So no matter what you force on people, without explanation, justification, proof, even meaningful answers you can always force more under a pretext of a single example? Once more, does it work for all problems, or those chosen arbitrarily, by who and how?

WTF are you talking about when you say "The league of brainwashed"? The most brainwashed idiots in the world, by far, are leftists. We just re-elected crime boy twice: he's a stammering idiot, a gropey feminist, a black-face race baiter and a criminal who has run up catastrophic debt and killed our energy sector, but all he has to do is slander someone once in a while and his dolt horde loves him for it. What has Trudeau actually done here aside from virtue signal and run up debt? The NJ and NY governors killed people by sending infected people into care homes. It was like biological warfare. NYers gave Cuomo a pass on that and then went after him for his alleged smooching and maybe one bum-grab. The NJ governor is about to be re-elected with some of those sneaky, late-night bags of mail. Leftist dolts: "Murder - ok, a buttgrab - IMPEACH!" FYI trump banned Epstein from Mar A Lago over two decades ago, and who's supposed to know/believe that "The Florida congressman, the guy who spoke at Giuliani's press conference, the Alabama governor candidate" are pedos? What a weird list of unsubstantiated allegations. There's a Dem politician who had an affair with a 17 yr old, married her, and has 4 kids with her. All of Swallwell's campaign money came through a Chinese spy, he's still on the intel committee. Hunter Biden was a cokehead who got a $50K/mo job in a country where he doesn't speak the language just so that Burisma's CEO could get some protection. He did over a billion dollars in deals in China when he went over there on AF2 with his dad.

I think part of this is to start talking about our MPs as human beings and not part of some bullshit global cabal. Canada, being small, should take advantage of its smallness and re-personalize these relationships.

There's a lot more to the story. For starters, consultation with First Nations has to happen; at least one First Nation says it will not agree to the deferral for at least two years, as they want to do their own assessments. Also, consultation can take some time - so this is not immediate, and perhaps not even a certainty, given potential road blocks. While the BC Council of Forest Industries is claiming 18,000 jobs loss, the Government estimates around 4,500 jobs, if the deferrals were made permanent. Likely the truth would be somewhere in between those two numbers. The ultimate goal is to transform the forest industry into a more sustainable model, so that harvesting trees does not result in huge swaths of clear-cut areas, but more resembles natural events. This can preserve ecosystems and help mitigate the effect of climate change. I realize you don't care about climate change, but many people do. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/british-columbia/article-british-columbia-proposes-unprecedented-deferrals-of-old-growth/

You call covid good economic times? You should block yourself.

1. You mean like Trump ? The fake Christian who still faces litigation around sexual assault, friends with Jeffrey Epstein, fooled around on every wife including the current one, increased the deficit astronomically in good economic times and fought with almost every establishment Republican ? Yes I agree 2. Stopped reading your post after you started foaming at the mouth... Please continue to enjoy being blocked. By me.

B.C. announces plans to defer old-growth logging across 26,000 square kilometres The NDP Socialists prove once again they are environmental extremists and put ideology ahead of the livelihood of thousands of workers and their families in B.C. "Susan Yurkovich, president of the B.C. Council of Forest Industries, said in a statement the plan would have a "profound and devastating impact" on the industry, which provided more than $4 billion in revenues to the province over the last year. The council's initial analysis suggested the deferrals would result in the closure of between 14 and 20 sawmills, two pulp mills as well as manufacturing facilities, representing about 18,000 jobs and $400 million in annual revenue, Yurkovich said." The forest industry is the main industry in B.C. This will have a devastating effect on a number of towns in B.C. It will also have a negative effect on thousands of families who are trying to build a life, own a home, buy a home, or raise families in B.C. B.C. announces plans to defer old-growth logging across 26,000 square kilometres (msn.com) Nov3 6:50PM news report justifying this edit with additional information. The Global BCTV news just reported that the committee that come up with this recommendation to the NDP Minister of Forests in Victoria had five environmentalists on it. This demonstrates the incompetence of the NDP government and appears it will cost B.C. the loss of about 18,000 jobs and $400 million in revenue for the BC government and huge hit to many communities around B.C.

How do they represent grown ups by campaigning against someone like Youngkin? How is he not a traditional Republican? What did he do to deserve false flag racist political tactics organized against him by the Lincoln Project? You don’t know what you’re taking about. Delete your account.

Ford keeps doing stuff he thinks will make him more popular with the Left. And it's working! Before this announcement they hated him with the white hot passion of a thousand blazing suns! Now they only hate him with the white hot passion of 999 blazing suns! Meanwhile, the people who actually voted for him are not so happy, especially small businessmen.

In fact Gaetz is still in congress asking the sort of questions that drive Progs nuts and explaining why they're so anxious to get him: https://www.revolver.news/2021/11/firebrand-congressman-matt-gaetz-demands-answers-from-merrick-garland-in-wake-of-revolvers-bombshell-1-6-reporting/ As to the Lincoln Project the latest I heard on them is this. That should show you what actual Republicans think of the Lincoln Project.

So if I understand your misdirect, diversion tactic correctly you're hoping to convince us this below doesn't matter: Co-founder of anti-Trump Lincoln Project accused in multiple cases of sexual harassment https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2021-01-31/lincoln-project-cofounder-accused-sexual-harassment cause Gaetz. Usually when somebody tries the diversion tactic on me I just ignore it and stay focused on what they're hoping we'll forget. This time though, it will be more fun to consider the false equivalency you're hoping to make. They have 21 actual accusers making claims against the Lincoln Project bigwig. They're making allegations of sexual harassment. It's pretty straight forward. The Gaetz thing is a mess of intrigues. The "investigation" can't put the girl forward who some from the left allege Gaetz took across state lines for immoral purposes. Not because she was 17 at the time of the alleged crime, but because she won't play ball. She won't make the allegation. Gaetz alleges he and his father were being blackmailed to keep allegations quiet and he reported this to the police at the time. Somebody has since been charged for that crime so best guess is it did happen. Gaetz knows a guy who has been charged with sex crimes. Some allege this guy was made deals to incriminate Gaetz. So, while there actually are 21 young guys claiming the Lincoln project guy sexually harassed them no accuser of Gaetz (not charged with crimes himself) has come forward. Any investigation over the years since the blackmailers first made their threats against the Gaetz's has gone nowhere. Gaetz has been charged with nothing.

Well very few in scotland heard anything Trudeau said. The only American that would talk to Trudeau was Micheal Bloomberg. And 3 other countries that really mean nothing. We are ignored by the world, nobody cares what Canada thinks.

the numbers are fake they are of people who died and had covid not just of people who died of covid juking the stats

Ah, the smugness of the Titanic survivors as they sat in their half empty lifeboats.

In this climate, $15 is certainly the bare minimum you should be paying anyone in Ontario. McDonalds already pays that.

The main problem is the God worshippers who think they owe nothing to the earth cause GOD. As for the rest, planting on clear cuts is not the same as logging in such a manner as to leave trees standing, which can be done, and it's the way nature managed forests for millenia. BC's Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development has a duty to "Stewardship of the Land", which includes ensuring Crown land is managed in such a way that it will benefit citizens now and in the future. Just because you don't believe in climate change has nothing to do with facts.

don't blame them we need to save some forests.. they can find other jobs.

Who and how can determine whether decisions are justified and supported by reasonable arguments; or arbitrary and voluntaritstic "because I say so"? That is only possible if there is independent analysis and review of decisions; if authority can be called to explain and provide meaningful answers; and moreover oversight and recourse to identify and discard wrong decisions. So simple logic dictates that without independent oversight in any form, it's either of the two autho-types but not a responsible democratic government so the score on the democratic scale cannot be high. Once China gets a mechanism of independent review and call off of wrong, unjustified, disproportionate and so on decisions it'll have a high democracy score too. Sure let's think and talk of human beings and should it also include compensations like those of regular human beings in the country, from $15K part time minimal wage to 33K median single income?

You're thinking of the States, I believe.

My friend's mom died from Covid; caught it from a "freedom-loving" family member who didn't think they needed to get vaccinated. No hugging mom any more. I suspect the "freedom loving" relative will be running short of hugs, too.

the flag doesn't represent Canada it represents replacing Canada with liberal dogma and pretending Canada is that liberal dogma which certainly doesn't represent me that flag deliberately removed the connection to the Crown from it the honor of wearing that flag on your uniform or wrapped around a coffin, is not granted by Canada, it is granted by the Crown the Crown is Canada the Liberals simply try to pretend it isn't the red ensign is the real flag the maple leaf is fake and gay

Ah but you can't assume from a physics lab test that the same thing is creating man-made global warming. The heating of the earth's atmosphere is well known to have happened all through history long before mankind's industrial age began approximately 200 or 250 years ago. There was the Roman Warming period of several centuries about 2,000 years ago and the Middle Age Warming period which lasted hundreds of years. During both periods the temperature could have been as warm or warmer than today. The warming in those two periods was not caused by mankind obviously. It was purely caused by nature. The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is about 0.04% of the atmosphere and the amount of water vapour is up to 4% and varies. Water vapour is a major part of the atmosphere. Therefore it is reasonable to assume, since water vapour traps heat in the atmosphere, it is a major cause of global warming. Global warming is a natural part of the atmosphere and is what makes life on earth possible. So just because CO2 and methane is known in a lab physics experiment to have something to do with heating or releasing energy does not prove that it is a major factor in the earth's atmosphere or that man has anything to do with it. In other words a small experiment in the lab cannot be used as a basis to claim the atmosphere operates the same way because the atmosphere is a totally different situation. The global warming of the earth's atmosphere cannot in any way be replicated in a lab experiment. Those gases are also produced by nature and are necessary to heat the atmosphere which is necessary for life. All I am saying is that a little lab test proves nothing about atmospheric global warming because the atmosphere and earth is very large and complex. The radiation from the sun is involved, water vapour is involved, the oceans are involved, radiation from space is involved. The whole thing is complex and how man fits into the picture is unproven.

There is a difference between authoritarian and autocratic. An authoritarian says "Do it this way because that is how the book says it should be done". The autocrat says "do it this way because I say so." If you have an autocrat who really knows what she is doing, it is great. Otherwise it is a disaster. Authoritarians are often mediocre at best. Currently, Canada is low on both scales. The government is fairly sensitive to public opinion. We are handicapped by the reluctance of really good people to go into politics and endure the vicious attacks becoming almost normal. You only have to listen to the stories from Rona Ambrose or Lisa Raitt about the abuse they and many other MP's were subjected to.

Virginia election is tonight so I'll predict the Dems win. Something about 200,000 plus absentee ballots already in and over 100,000 yet to be received. It sounds like it might be close but when I heard about all those ballots floating around I figured it's likely already in the bag( pun intended) for the Dems.?

India has announced it plans to be carbon neutral by 2070. They are the world's third largest emitter. The Indian prime minister made it clear that he expects developed countries to pay for some or most of it. Ballsy. I'm sure Justin Trudeau is eager to promise to make Canadians foot the bill for nuclear armed India and the rest, China included.

He obviously is not listening to his constituents. All he is doing is parroting liberal talking points down to you. One would think his job is to listen to his constituents, not try to force feed his ideas on them. There is no "climate crisis" or "climate emergency". Those are fear-mongering words to try to brainwash the masses. Climate has always changed. People should be working on adapting to changing weather instead of thinking they can play God and control the climate. He is also being deceptive in saying equalization does not come from provincial revenues. Of course it doesn't come directly from the provincial government, but it is collected from the provinces via corporate taxes and income taxes. Billions of dollars came from Alberta in the last 20 or 30 years and most went to Quebec. He doesn't believe that because he has been brainwashed but it is a fact.

My question to my MP and his answer: Mr.Trudeau's recent announcement at the COP26 summit is yet another nail in the coffin of the Canadian oil and gas industry. If Mr.Trudeau thinks for one second that China( the world's largest emitter )is going to follow Canada's lead he is truly dreaming. Once the Canadian oil and gas industry is dead will all the lost revenue be replaced from massive price increases in the cost of electricity? Will there be a fundamental change in Canada's equalization formula in the future seeing as how Ontario and the Western provinces have had to heavily subsidize Quebec and the Atlantic provinces? Thank you His response: Thanks for sharing your concerns. We know that we can’t ignore the climate crisis. Just in our region record high floods and even tornadoes have caused incredible damage and have left many in our community without homes. Despite this, we also know that we can’t rush the transition to a green economy because thousands of Canadians depend on the oil and gas industry to make a living. That’s why the government will set 5-year targets, and will also ensure that the sector makes a meaningful contribution to meeting Canada’s 2030 climate goals. The government is also seeking the advice of the Net-Zero Advisory Body on how best to move forward on this approach. Canada is leading the way toward a clean energy future by finding real solutions that the world is seeking. Together with Canadians, global partners, and industry, the government will continue to tackle the climate crisis so we can create new middle-class jobs and build a better, cleaner future for everyone. As for equalization, it is drawn from federal, not provincial tax revenues. It is money Ottawa has collected from across the country — including Quebec and Atlantic taxpayers. This money is handed out by the federal government to ensure provinces with smaller economies are able to offer the same level of services as those with access to more tax revenues. Thanks again for reaching out. My thoughts: I give him credit for replying but as expected it's pretty vague and he ignored my question about electricity prices. But words like these greatly appeal to progressives so they don't have to contain specifics. No actual mention of what will replace oil and gas. One would think that if you have the answer you would be shouting it from the rooftops. (A Liberal MP)

Whatever the plan was I just don't see why its announcement has not been discussed with provinces that have highest stakes in it? What chance does it have to work in reality, unless it was only for some hot air from high tribune? Do we see Canada's framework finally unraveling, with elites absorbed in themselves, empty posturing and enrichment at public expense? It wasn't a very likely exercise to begin with to copy over a colonial system run by unaccountable entitled bureaucrats, adorn it thinly with democratic bells and garlands and hope that it would sail for centuries. In the meanwhile maybe not such a bad idea to take a cue from New Brunswick and strike if necessary to get at least some crumbs from this pie before political elites gobble and consume it to a bare plate between themselves, with automatic annual rises in the spirit of togetherness?

Time to raise the flag. Natives need to smarten up. There is a lot of goodwill out there, which is evaporating the more they keep the constant demanding.

If Biden can get through his whole term, and that is a big if, it is clear that he is not fit for a second term and there needs to be another candidate in 2024. In such case Kamala Harris would have no chance in the primaries. So hated she is even among the Democrats. However, if the very likely scenario happens and Biden has to go before his term ends and Kamala Harris becomes President would she be challenged in the primaries? Normally the incumbent President seeking re-election doesn't have to worry about the primaries. Nomination is self-evident. Has it even ever happened that the President's own party has rejected him when picking a candidate for an election? If it has it must be 1800s. It could be totally different with President Kamala.
