For starters I don't claim to be left or right but it's obvious from the beginning of this whole thing that the narrative was being shaped by a small group of people. Fauci or not, one of the big things I found most troubling early on was not just scientific disagreements or hypothesis, but actual character assassinations of scientists who didn't go along with the narrative. This more often than not came from the fauci camp labelling anything they disagreed with as "disinformation" and "conspiracy theories". A few that have had their character assassinated (even though they had contributions in some cases for many years to their fields) would include Dr. Malone, Dr. McCullough, Dr. Byram Briddle, Professor Christian (U of S) and others. Really it made no sense to trash these guys reputations. Why would they lie and make stuff up, risking jobs in the process?

Today the SCOTUS shut down that private business vax mandate. This is what...the 3rd time the SCOTUS had to put a leash on Biden? We heard reaffirmation that the filibuster will survive. McCarthey told Nancy to stick her witch hunt where the sun don't shine. Aaand...Tonto Harris gave one of the most embarrassing interviews I've ever seen. Not a great day in Mudville.

soviet bread line health care strikes again stop blaming the unvaccinated and start blaming the shitty health care system

Yep

That's because you haven't watched enough CTV or CBC to know why you haven't seen them on CNN. No you blew yourself out of your barrel all on your own again. It's kinda like watching you catch and release yourself over and over. The rest of your tangled-logic map looks like it took a pound of pins and a mile of string to piece together.

So with midterms only 10 or 11 months away one can see why Biden is getting the orders from above to push hard for control of the election process put in Federal hands. They can't win fair in November. I think it's November.

It’s no wonder that polls are showing a steady drain of Biden’s approval numbers. How long can you prop up a dementia patient? We are coming to the end of fake reality in the USA.

I thought I'd write this post for fun to highlight some of the silliness I've seen on this forum since I started posting here again last week. I'll start with a simple example that stemmed from a debate I was having with some dude posting "scientific" sources from the American Institute for Economic Research regarding COVID-19 lock-down measures. I'll spare the awkward details of that discussion, but what I wanted to highlight are some obvious misinformation traps that our brave red-pilled conspiracy theorists often fall for and maybe (just maybe) how catch them. https://www.aier.org/article/fauci-lies-in-the-senate/ Here's a recent article by AIER's senior editor, James Harrigan, lamenting Dr. Anthony Fauci lying to the Senate: "It was when Rand Paul asked him if he thought it “appropriate to use your $420,000 salary to smear scientists who don’t agree with you?” Fauci predictably denied the charge, but just about anyone with an ounce of sense could likely guess he was lying." ANYONE with an ounce of sense can see that Dr. Fauci was "lying' in response to a baiting/provocative question from the always-reasonable and totally unbiased Rand Paul. The esteemed James Harrigan then goes on to write that an access to information request PROVES that Dr. Anthony Fauci was in fact using his $420,000 salary to smear scientists who don't agree with him, or that he lied about not doing that...or something. If you click on the "proof" he offers, you're linked to a several pages of nothing-burger emails smothered in redactions where Fauci and his peers/staff refer to AIER's Great Barrington Declaration as scientific nonsense. That's it. The reason this sort of misinformation works is that the majority of people wouldn't actually go through those emails. Folks just see the headline "Fauci Lies," see that the author presented a LINK and assume that because this is a published article online, that the "proof" actually demonstrates what it pretends to. These sorts of traps are everywhere on fringe and conspiracy websites, and the biggest hook is that readers are often invited NOT to take the writer's word for it, but rather to see and decide for themselves with the presented info-dump. Whether that's a boring email-chain, a list of 25 research articles that may not even support the writer's claims or a bunch of pictures that draw connections that don't exist, it doesn't actually matter because 99% of readers will never give it more than moment's thought. What matters is that they were invited to decide for themselves rather than just being told what to think, and for the receptive mind that can take the skeptical guard-rails off whatever they're listening to. By no means is the mainstream media without bias or sometimes outright misinformation, but the more ludicrous claims and conclusions are usually called out by competitors or even the people they write about and there's always a fear of public blowback or even lawsuits. When it's being peddled around on the dark weeb or the endless rabbit hole of political hack/conspiracy websites, it's a pointless effort to try to refute.

The US let a terrorist into the country with a terrorist visa, oops, tourist visa on Dec 29. Less than a month later he was in a synagogue with hostages, demanding the release of terrorists from jail. The DNC-controlled FBI initially released a statement saying that it wasn't anti-Semitic in nature and then had to backtrack 24 hrs later. Biden's extremely brief Q & A was focused on gun control, so apparently if there were less guns around, it would have been perfectly safe to let this guy in.... As usual, the terrorist's brother blamed mental health issues: https://www.firstpost.com/world/uk-national-identified-as-texas-synagogue-hostage-taker-malik-faisal-akram-spent-first-weeks-in-us-in-homeless-shelters-10291791.html He was barred from a British court: https://www.theguardian.com/news/2022/jan/17/texas-hostage-taker-had-criminal-and-mental-health-history-in-uk

Truth has a cult-like following.

In any case I do like the thrust of the Quebec commission's opinion that university classes shouldn't be considered safe spaces, notwithstanding the prevention of violence of course - no one is forcing anyone to be there.

You agreed with that retarded post ? Wow. I hope you are vaccinated because you show some signs of promise. Please don't end up dead in the ditch with blotches of sheep medicine all over your face, that would make me sad ❤️

America really shouldn't be trying to run their elections on their own right now. When things deteriorate to this point in other countries someone outside the circle of hate is usually asked to come in and help out - hopefully before things get violent.

The Democrats plan on cheating like they've never cheated before. It's the only way forward.

I just hope the US doesn't devolve into a full scale civil war before then...

As I've clearly said before around here I'm far more interested in redistributing power. By diluting it where it's concentrated. I think this could best be achieved by outlawing in-camera lobbying - no more private exclusive meetings behind closed doors with public officials. If there's a public interest at stake then the meeting should be public as well. Your take on me is wrong because it's based on your equally wrong assumption about what I think. Your post is directed at a caricature of me that you've created. Respond to what I said instead.

The killing of George Floyd last month while in the custody of Minneapolis police officers has set off a wave of protests and dialogue on racial injustice that has continued unabated for weeks. And many corporations, big and small, have joined the conversation, issuing statements vowing to stand with the Black Lives Matter movement. Some tech behemoths -- like Apple, Amazon, Microsoft and others -- have followed up on their supportive words with major donation pledges, too. Other companies have yet to put their money where their mouth is. Technology companies Many of the large tech companies in the US have donated substantial sums to the cause. Google has committed $12 million, while both Facebook and Amazon are donating $10 million to various groups that fight against racial injustice. Apple is pledging a whopping $100 million for a new Racial Equity and Justice Initiative that will "challenge the systemic barriers to opportunity and dignity that exist for communities of color, and particularly for the black community," according to Apple CEO Tim Cook. Check out CNET's guide to learn more about how tech companies are supporting the Black Lives Matter movement. Walmart Walmart announced that it will contribute $100 million over five years to create a new center for racial equity. In an email to Walmart employees, CEO Doug McMillan said the center "will seek to advance economic opportunity and healthier living, including issues surrounding the social determinants of health, strengthening workforce development and related educational systems, and support criminal justice reform with an emphasis on examining barriers to opportunity faced by those exiting the system." Target Target announced a $10 million commitment in an effort to advance social justice through supporting partners like the National Urban League and the African American Leadership Forum. The brand also committed 10,000 hours of pro-bono consulting for small business in the Twin Cities that are black-owned or owned by people of color. https://www.cnet.com/how-to/companies-donating-black-lives-matter/

What I find funny with your take is that you think all things stay the same all throughout History. So for instance, you think that Leftists don't cling to power and want wealth redistribution, yet the most unequal States in America at least are the liberal ones. Here is a take from the New York Times; Also, median household income is much higher for the 'side of the poor' that are represented in your presentation of the Left which is very wrong; 'Today, the $61,000 median income of blue districts substantially exceeds the $53,000 median income of red ones, reversing the order from 2008. The average gross domestic product for Democratic districts, near parity with Republican ones in 2008, has grown 50% higher. Output per worker has followed the same pattern.' https://www.cnbc.com/2019/09/19/economic-divide-in-the-us-is-becoming-as-stark-as-its-politics.html

No that is wrong obviously. These treatments were barely used experimentally for sufficient long term statistics and you have little to none clue what could be long term effects, in ten, twenty years a generation. Certainly there can be situations and cases where the downside of not knowing is compensated by the positive benefit. And that requires a responsible, competent and transparent analysis. Anybody with a grain of intelligence can see instantly that flu is not a smallpox and covid is not a smallpox either. The very fact that the same rationale and methods are used can tell us that it, the responsible and so on, analysis is not in the picture. What is more likely, bureaucratic zeal and march to achieve percentages, put a checkmark, write a report and get a bonus. And if there's an unexpected longer term effect, we know what to expect too: not to worry, oops, we just thought and a belated apology. If that works for you, so good for you, but it'll be a long and hard look before I let "travel from Wuhan" exsperts shoot something into me on the clock just because they think it something they could try and see what it would do.

Looks like Canadian truckers are presenting their case to Trudeau…

Where do we go from here? Probably in the same direction. My concern is that these measures will be trotted out every time there is another outbreak. That means annually, seasonally, as is the pattern for colds, some of which are a coronavirus. Does that make it a conspiracy, or misinformation? .... In terms of misinformation, it doesn't help that the government covers up its mistakes, if not outright lies to We Candians. Maybe the government forgot how well-educated we are, and thinks we are all big babies who need their nanny-state? It is this attitude that forces them into an absurd position. Blatant propaganda is obvious, to people who are well educated. .... Oh wait, so let's teach them some other bullshit instead of "racist" math, history, and science! Then promote fear and hysteria in things like public health and climate change (a global issue!!), and even divisiveness among ourselves (Canada's PM, Quebec Premier, et al). Oh wait, the dunderheads don't give a crap. As long as there's beer 'n TV. ....

Well, there's old faithful, Bill Clinton. He's in the sex scandal soup again. I'd give you that perv behind the Lincoln project but you'd deny leftist ownership of that rodent too.

What? You don't at least try to read the abstracts? I generally try to. Actually there's one in that list that's better than an abstract. It's by some Professor. Ben Israel or something like that. He more just describes his study in a separate paper in easy to understand language. His conclusion is covid runs a similar pattern of peak and decline with or without lockdowns. Speaking abstracts though there's one that's not on that list. I bookmarked it. It's from a Canadian economist. " Douglas W. Allen∗ April 2021 ABSTRACT An examination of over 80 Covid-19 studies reveals that many relied on assumptions that were false, and which tended to over-estimate the benefits and underestimate the costs of lockdown. As a result, most of the early cost/benefit studies arrived at conclusions that were refuted later by data, and which rendered their cost/benefit findings incorrect. Research done over the past six months has shown that lockdowns have had, at best, a marginal effect on the number of Covid-19 deaths. Generally speaking, the ineffectiveness of lockdown stems from voluntary changes in behavior. Lockdown jurisdictions were not able to prevent noncompliance, and non-lockdown jurisdictions benefited from voluntary changes in behavior that mimicked lockdowns. The limited effectiveness of lockdowns explains why, after one year, the unconditional cumulative deaths per million, and the pattern of daily deaths per million, is not negatively correlated with the stringency of lockdown across countries. Using a cost/benefit method proposed by Professor Bryan Caplan, and using two extreme assumptions of lockdown effectiveness, the cost/benefit ratio of lockdowns in Canada, in terms of life-years saved, is between 3.6–282. That is, it is possible that lockdown will go down as one of the greatest peacetime policy failures in Canada’s history." https://www.sfu.ca/~allen/LockdownReport.pdf Another thread I see pop up here and there including that list is how adverse effects from lockdowns even out harm from the virus.

Yet another complete failure of far left policy and thinking. A POTUS should come into office an slash the bureaucracy in half.

I was pretty close by leftist standards ?

We Radical Leftists prefer to call it the 1619 Project.

That's the thing, it isn't specific. The internet is full of misinterpretation of studies, either through ignorance or intentional. This BS often has longer legs than the study itself. Once it gets loose it has a life of its own because if it fits a narrative, people won't fact check it.

It surely was a mistake to compare the unvaccinated to the Jews in the 1930s Germany. That was always going to trigger a furious backlash even from people who would otherwise agree with you. It would have been wiser to use the comparison of the Russian gulags where all unwanted people were sent to. Nobody would have been triggered by that comparison.

It's a race to the bottom here, it seems. Is reddit and 4dchan full or something?

The level of Qanon inspired 'facts" are pretty astounding on this forum. There's not much point in presenting any other facts since they're rejected with the same enthusiasm devout Christians reject any suggestion that God did not create everything.

I'm not gainst or for vaccines, this is a meaningless position, in my view. They are good for some and in some situations. And it's far from proven, from any rational point of view that they are unconditionally good for everyone and always. Vaccines as anything, is an instrument, a tool. And the result of application of any tool is determined by who is wielding it and how. Even cosmetic scissors can cause serious injury if mishandled. And we are talking about interfering with the immunity on the population level and indefinitely, according to some exsperts, without as much as giving a thought to possible consequences. What makes me uncomfortable to the point of scared is that no one, nowhere here at least is thinking objectively and rationally, having all factors and considerations in mind and evaluating them thoroughly. From "travel from Wuhan, sure" to let's shoot every body every six no three months and see what happens, decisions are made in a flash and on a dime. If this is not scary what would be?

Is that the Dr. Duesberg who disagrees that HIV causes AIDS? Oookay. ? and now you're quoting George R R Martin. I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried.

It's not a conspiracy theory when there is evidence of Fauci doing exactly this thing to multiple colleagues over the years, who dare to disagree with him. Good on Sen. Paul for having the guts to finally call Fauci on his tactics. Anthony Fauci Science Comments: Stop Playing His Game | National Review Fauci says attacks on him are 'attacks on science' (nypost.com) Sorry, but the guy who locks dogs in mesh cages and cuts out their vocal cords so the scientists don't have to hear them scream as they are eaten alive by sand fleas......is NOT science.

In a society based on reason and accountability; on the third year of an event; the authorities must explain; justify and prove the necessity of any significant restrictions they intend to impose on the citizens. As well, mechanisms of accountability, measuring objective effectiveness of the measures and progress to the solution; and impartial checks must exist. Is it too much to expect, if, presumably, the society is based on reason? Can such a society agree with unaccountable; arbitrary and chaotic hand management, with no clear limits or indefinitely, without any oversight and accountability, and no explanations of any kind except this is what we happen to think (today)?

An apparent trucker strike looms. Border officials vote on striking. It's like bowling out there.

How would you know if you never watch them?

The Canadian system largely took the money out of it, which means that actually winning votes is important.. this is why our system is starting to get way better. The American system is purely driven on corporate money to Representatives

I wonder how long Fox will be able to hang onto all its new viewers once it sinks in just how boring and mindless the constant vilifying theme underscoring virtually everything that passes for commentary gets. From the above it certainly sounds like most of us and even Fox fans are only capable of stomaching so much Fox. I'm betting much of the interest will wane and wear off just as fast as its risen.

Doesn't seem like it but since when did two wrongs start making a right and why can't conservatives rise above this base instinct to act no better than the competition? I thought you guys prided yourselves on always being the adults in the room.

Really? How many times per hour do you hear someone like Joyce Napier or Chantal Hebert use pronouns like radical and extreme or fascist or refer to infamous right-wingers from the past whenever they need to make a point when criticizing some conservative or a policy thereof?

Fox is partisan, to be sure, but they’re the best news network in North America by far. And yes, it’s news, not like CNN and MSNBC. CTV, CBC, Global, NBC, NPR, etc are all pure garbage. The main difference is that all of those other networks rush out with a bunch of lies, like “COVID CAME FROM A BAT AND A PANGOLIN AND SAYING ANYTHING ELSE IS QANON GARBAGE! ANYONE WHO SAYS BSL4 NEEDS TO BE BANNED FROM SOCIETY!” That’s not news and it’s got nothing to do with democracy or science. It’s just the new normal under Trudeau and Biden.

The idea that there's much reporting. It's almost entirely entertainment and opinion and has been all along. It's definitely easier in small short doses. The endless use of cliche references to lefties is probably their most annoying habit. Mark Levin reminds me of a right-wing Howard Beale.

It is. The Democrats really stepped in it this time.

I know I watch more Fox News and more Tucker, Hannity and Ingraham than I used to. Notwithstanding Chris Wallace, to call Fox News news in any old-school journalistic sense is ridiculous, it's like taking Mad Magazine seriously. Too many people do though and there is little doubt Fox also has a lot of influence over far too many powerful politicians. Besides the sheer spectacle I like to keep a finger on the pulse of what passes now for mainstream right-wing conservative intelligentsia - forewarned is forearmed and because its blindingly obvious who'll be driving America beyond 2022 I have to wonder how many others do as well. I suspect a good portion of Fox's ratings can be attributed to that alone.

If totalitarian guardians and carers of humanity of the last century haven't taught us anything, there's nothing to hope for. The cause is lost. There will always be some crisis, tragedy, possibility out of abundance of caution to force us do whatever we're told for the common good, blah, f#%k or just because. Someone has it all figured out.

Every province, every country has been doing this from the beginning. Case counts, hospitalizations, ICU counts and deaths have all been overstated. The problem is that the decisions to do lockdowns and other restrictions have been and continue to be, based on these exaggerations and lies.

No kidding. Here's the leftist poll watcher FiveThiryEight's collection of favorability polls for Biden: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/ A couple days ago Quinnipiac had him at 33%. +20 Disapprove.

My only major criticisms are that the transportation infrastructure hasn’t kept up with the growth, developers run roughshod over the heritage, and its property values are at stratospheric levels, a sign of the city’s international appeal but also of the fact that people with low and average incomes can’t really afford to live there anymore. Could use more parks and architectural beauty downtown as well.

You don't really see any major social problems anywhere downtown except maybe Queen and Sherbourne. Regent Park is being rebuilt and the Jane and Finch corridor is far from downtown. The only issue I have with Toronto is that there's so much growth coming so quickly, especially with condos and office towers, that the focus of the city's design panel and planning department seems entirely oriented towards new development rather than preserving the old city. We see this with the plans for the new Ontario Line station at the old Parliament site near the Distillery District. That area and the St. Lawrence Market area nearby are really the closest things that the city has to a historic precinct, as it includes the biggest collection of Victorian industrial architecture, but rather than reinforcing that historic character by keeping the new station site's new buildings in keeping with the old architecture, for example by creating a replica of the first parliament, the plans are for yet more ultra-modern concrete, steel, and glass. I like modern architecture, but it's unsettling to see so many new towers that have no apparent connection to the old city. They could be anywhere. Over 20,000 buildings have been demolished in Toronto, including many fine brick and stone buildings in the oldest neighbourhoods. There also aren't enough downtown squares or parks. Toronto doesn't really have a Central Park or Mount Royal Park. High Park is too far west and you need a ferry boat to get to Toronto Island. There was promise with the idea of the Rail Deck Park, building a linear park over the railway tracks, but private developers are trying to block that plan through the courts. That could've been like Chicago's Millennium Park. The Port Lands are the last opportunity for a big new park and hundreds of millions are being spend on restoring the mouth of the Don River. I just hope that the city builds it right. The Province is currently working with firms to revitalize Ontario Place. The CNE and Ontario Place both need to be better integrated into the city and become year-round destinations with multiple 24-hour uses. We'll see. Toronto has the luxury of making a lot of revenue from development charges and an expanded tax base as tens of thousands of new residents arrive every year, but the infrastructure hasn't kept up. Congestion around the city always threatens its economy. There's much new transit in the works, but it's a long time coming: Crosstown, Ontario Line, Finch LRT, Eglinton West LRT, Smart Track, GO RER, etc.
