The nice thing about lines in sand is they are not permanent. Carved in stone is also temporary, it just takes longer to vanish. We all have double standards. If you want to win, you need to be flexible. If you would rather stick to an ideology than win, get out of politics.

They really have to quit the CPC though... I mean it's SO leftist that they have Climate Change plans...

I just want the crazies to go to the PPC then stop voting...

Jussie's still proclaiming his innocence lol. He said it again after his sentencing. It's bizarre that he thinks the attack randomly occurred after he rehearsed it, with the people he rehearsed it with. For some strange reason BLM, Jessie Jackson, Samuel L Jackson and others wrote letters asking for reduced sentencing. Uhhhhhh, why? He was trying to incite racial hatred and violence. Just how short of a sentence did they want him to get? Do they feel like inciting violence is no big deal?

Barbecued? Kind of an exaggeration wouldn't you say? Fossil fuel-driven economic growth over the past 30 years has pushed us to the brink of a global climate catastrophe. If the small amount of warming we have experienced were such a catastrophe, why has everything gotten so much better? Fossil fuel-driven prosperity has cut extreme poverty around the world by nearly two-thirds, allowed us to dramatically increase food production and cut hunger and malnutrition around the world, spread access to electricity to billions of people on every continent, cut child mortality in half, and added 7 years to average life expectancy. If you could have prevented the fossil fuel use at the cost of never having experienced all this progress, would you have done so? “The burning of fossil fuels is destabilizing the very foundations of life on the planet.” (An actual quotation from a recent Canadian newspaper opinion piece.) No, actually the burning of fossil fuels has radically improved the foundations of life on this planet. It has given us safe and inexpensive lighting, heating, cooling, refrigeration, transportation, electricity generation, construction, food production, and just about everything else we depend on for our standard of living. To the extent it has also caused a slight warming of the atmosphere due to CO2, that clearly has not turned the whole thing into a net loss. Weighing the costs and benefits together there is simply no question fossil fuel use has served to benefit humanity greatly.

I think the sunglasses emoji makes my post look even cooler than it actually was.

If you had to pay a penny every time you were wrong you'd have enough debt to cripple China ?

You have to retain a grain of objectivity or any discussion would be pointless. Did you forget the reasons why the US and allies went to Afghanistan? Regarding Iraq, I did not support and opposed that war and fortunately Canada did not participate in it. I will not compare it, and it has nothing to do with entirely unprovoked, blatant invasion of an independent country in Europe and war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in its course. What a typically Soviet argument, your old mistake somehow justifies and nullifies my crime today. A crime is crime whoever it's committed by. There's no rationalization and no justifications. That was a lie of Putin and now you are parroting it. A threat is not what a dictator, tyrant claims, they can claim anything that suites them anytime that's what dictators do. To say that you need evidence that Russia was in any way, even minuscule way threatened by Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova, Lithuania, Latvia all the countries it crated decade-long conflicts in or threatens with. Otherwise you would be repeating lies. That is, lying.

I believe you are thinking of President Trump. You still haven't specified what private property you own that they would take? I'm not sure what exactly you are worried about.

NAFTA, and the best record in mitigating the covid disaster.

hey now dont label NDP base with reformers..

I voted Ndp last election fool lol and calling me a commie is laughable. CPC isn't even a conservative party its the reform with a different name to cover it atm... thats why brown or charest need to win

that's because the Liberals and Conservatives are basically identical meanwhile we have fools like Moonbox who think the CPC never compromises and is too far to the right to win when they are further left than they've ever been and losing only the far left thinks there is some big difference between the CPC and LPC so pandering to them when they will never vote for the CPC no matter how far left they go is asinine

There are shades and there's black and white, moral right and atrocity, war crime, hell. What Putin and his country is doing in Ukraine now, and in many places before that we managed to look the other way, is nothing short of the crimes of the Nazi's Germany. This is nothing to do with "russiaphobia" just the stark reality.

Oh wow you don’t know history. What a colonial attitude. Russians have more in common with Ukrainians than anyone in any NATO countries. This is a stupid and unnecessary invasion.

There's a difference between wanting to help oppressed people and being a woke nutter.

Our grandparents sacrificed almost 40% of their GDP to fight tyranny. Without fighting amongst themselves even!

if you discriminate against a Russian-Canadian because of their roots that's wrong. If you ban a Russian national from business in Canada that's just a boycott. The more pressure you put on Russian citizens and business to pressure Putin not be a jerk the better. Putin is an enemy of the West and Canada. If you are dedicated to protecting the interests of our country and our allies instead of apologizing for our enemies you should be doing everything you can to defeat them. I'm willing to pay $10/L gas and eat dirt for supper if that's what it takes. Russia and China will not prevail. 3rd world dictators shouldn't be able to push us around, let's unite and put them in their place. The meek need to GTFO of the way if they aren't up for the task.

You see, that's bad, because nature does the best landscaping. What we can ever achieve is a concrete ghetto or a stinky landfill. Now take a look at this and tell we why on earth would I want to own a chunk of land? I already have it! All of it! Because I can make it up there! If I cannot any more, whoever else gets up there can have it. But I still can and always will and this is where I AM FREE ! Not in the fucking urban environment Trudeau or any other Canadian idiot wants to create for me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upUW_LQKoRQ My dog has been present on all of my best days since 2014 - following my steps on all trails in BC and the Yukon - winter and summer - rain, sun, blizzards. he has been there while i landed some 100 steelhead and who knows how many other fish. He has chased after bears,moose and all kinds of other animals. He gets his usual food, lots of sausages and cheese and sometimes I cook him chicken with sweet potatoes. He sleeps by my bed and follows me everywhere. He is always happy to go out with me.

I run a Vespa scooter and a city transit pass. Where I’m getting murdered is grocery prices. I’m single and live alone with my cat. I have no clue how single parents are doing it. Why are other oil producing nations paying pennies a litre? Canada is a tax paying welfare extortion transfer prison. Get Alberta Out!

For starters your question in response to what Aristides said reminds me of the old saw "there's good people on both sides". It's pretty clear you're saying this is a case where someone's better. As for the rest of your demented hooey.....it reads here exactly like it does amongst all the other threads that include your endless obsessive hatred and tirades against the Democrats...the left...the media....yadda yadda yadda. FIFY

Where are the nukes in Ukraine, goof? It's pathetic how suspicious you are of western media, but then you're on your knees believing literally everything that comes out of Putin's Russia. Worse yet is the moral equivocating, something something about Cuba therefore invading Ukraine is totally fine! It's warped thinking, both intellectually and morally bankrupt.

with chong saying he's not running Charest and Brown are the only 2 who would keep the CPC somewhat normal and avoid becoming PPC lite.

Democrats reflexively defend criminals.

I wonder if he'll even do the full 150 days. His hoax tied up a huge amount of police resources which were sorely needed elsewhere in that crime-ridden Democratic run city of Chicago.

The only one trying to draw an equivalency is you...

So he opposes war with a nuclear power (common sense) and is a Putin stooge ?

What a travesty. Had you or I done this we would get 5 years. Must be nice to be a protected class.

I did. He is fine.

If you want to classify the left as people obsessed with wokism, and the right has anybody who buys into populist conspiracy theories then that still leaves a large body of central thought that can ignore those fringes and move forward.

This is typical kind of Russia's arguments that cannot be understood by anyone with a grain of sanity. Jack hit someone ten years back so I'll hit you now and I'll be in the right. How does this make any sense? In what hopelessly twisted universe?
