Why is this a primary concern though? I don't think you have to dig very deep to see that the real concern is loss of nationalism in place of the national geopolitical policy in which the entire world is regarded as the appropriate sphere for a state's influence. To wit...a one world government...Star Trek... that's been defined in the original post. Unless I'm mistaken globalization is mostly economic and capitalistic in nature and globalism isn't.1 point

If you had any doubt that the WEF and the Liberal Canadian government are bringing us closer to totalitarianism, watch this until the end:1 point

That is where you don't understand. Not as my mother but her soul in my daughter. For sure her genes will be there. In all daughters. Why having her genes are okay but having part of her soul will be creepy. I wonder if you realize the word Creepy is a very bad word you keep using ?.1 point

I’m really going to try not to get too much into supporting any particular political parties, because there seems to be a structural problem with government now, or at least the people who govern quickly forget why they’re there. I’m entirely focused on threats to liberty. Everything else is just noise. Clearly the WEF is a threat to freedom. Trudeau has also sought to curtail our freedoms, and has plenty of overreach to show for it.1 point

You’re what in the days of Soviet Russia was called Soviet Man, kind of like the Company Man of corporate America, but more propagandized. You buy into whatever you’re told. The irony of course is that even the powerful leaders who demanded absolute submission from the people despised these soulless dupes. Stalin used to play cruel games like imprison their wives to test their loyalty. It turns out that even most tyrants respect an honest enemy over someone who has no mind of his own.1 point

That's cute. The King of Wrong telling us what's true or false then acting like he's proved something. Thanks for the smile.1 point

Well i don't believe "sin" exists as that is a concept exclusive to the bible bur in direct response to your question, no i donot believe a blood sacrifice can absolve one of anything. As for those who use Jesus as thier "scapegoat" honestly i feel sad for them, thinking one needs some omnipotent master to keept them on the straight and narrow denies them a the self actuating power of the human will.1 point

How stupid are these protesters? Don't they know that if they want the support of Trudeau and the Liberals they just need to assault way more cops, assault some civilians, burn down some buildings, and loot some stores?1 point

Canada is a slow simmer. We for whatever reason are very trusting of the government or our institutions. Politeness is our archilles heel. You can't be polite with leftists anymore.1 point

1.... still on about banking policy...got to learn to let that go...I already admitted my faults and thanked you for the learning experience.. I'm sure we have all made mistakes... 2....I am no expert, i have experience with working with them on a regular bases...Rules of engagement are crafted from the Conventions by civilian lawyers, last thing the PM wants is one of his soldiers charged with a war crime...so all soldiers are briefed and tested regularly on ROE,s and how they apply to the conventions... 3... Gitmo was NATO holding camp for high value terrorist, awaiting to have their day in front of a military tribunal to determine their classification.. Nothing illegal about the practice of holding people in a camp, what the inter national community did not like is the bad guys did not have regular access to legal council...But the military tribunal was not going to charge them with anything , just determine their status... later if it was deemed the proceeding would move to a legal court, so they can answer for the crimes they commit...such as Omar for instance he had several lawyers represent him of the course of his trail... 4...Why was Omar charged for the count of murder and why did he serve time in a prison...think about that for a second...one he shot a US army special forces medic...A war crime, two he murdered a US soldier... if he was a combatant who pick up a weapon at any time to fight ...Why is it a war crime to shot a soldier...you answer those questions and things are going to be clearer... 5...Well if he did not die in the attempt, and he killed a soldier in the process , then yes that would be up to a court to find him guilty or innocent....you introduced Russian soldier to the equation, he would be probable hauled around back and shot... it is not like they have not done it before in this conflict either way it is not going to end well for the father or daughter...i mean if your committed to raping a women it is not that far off to kill them after the act so there are no wittiness...War crimes MUST meet the same level of proof as we the west use in Civilian courts... Not sure what rights you think you have during a conflict, soldiers can kick you out of your house for any reason really, be it a HQ, first aid station, sleeping quarters, ... take your food or water, live stock, medication, car ,truck, and in the case of Ukraine, they can take your son and daughters of military age for military service...what rights do you think you have... 6...Like i said Russia pulled out of the Geneva Convention, and are not bond by any of its contents...Not the same for Ukraine so the rules are one sided... 7....In most conflicts it is very clear when both sides are made to up hold the Geneva convention...In Ukraine and Russia it is not the same, and anyone captured is going to be treated harshly, or just shot, again precedent has already been proven here... Shit even captured Russian soldiers do not want to be returned to Russia becasue they fear being shot by Russia forces, so ya they are bad guys... Everyone is treated as a pow ...until the enemy forces inspect your person, and you do not have any ID card or dog tags, then you will be sent of to a camp that determines your status...if and when this happens, and your deemed a unlawful combatant such as Omar, Just being an unlawful combatant is a crime... but if you commit any other crimes like Omar and it can be proven in a court of law then, you just added to your charges.. 8.... in all of history there has only been a few victors charged with war crimes, a couple exceptions, Canada had an officer charged with murdering Germany military personal, by burying them alive in a mass grave.... happened after the liberation of a concentration camp....So ya might does make right... Unlawful combatants forfeit all rights and protections of the Geneva Convention, as do Mercs, Spys. however until that is determined everyone is treated as a POW...although your alive it is not going to be a pleasant experience.. US military does not allow any foreign power to sentence any of its soldiers, for any reason, that is written into the policies of NATO... becasue they like you said are the big dicks in the neighborhood and they make the rules..1 point

Even though I'm on the side of the right I can't help feeling sorry for many Russian people who are my work-mates who really are between a rock and a hard place and have nothing to do with this issue. Funnily, when talking to them the casual chitchat there seems to be some unwritten contract that you don't mention the U-word.1 point

Sadly, I think the percentages are higher in Canada of people who are willing to go along to get along when it comes to accepting undemocratic policies and attitudes. Canada really doesn’t feel as free as it used to. I think that’s somewhat true for the west as a whole, but Canada seems especially impacted. When Putin played “Oh Canada” on the piano and stopped before the word “free” the night that the HOC voted to support the Emergencies Act, he was making significant commentary.1 point

The vax pass is totalitarian because it marks the removal of natural human rights and citizen rights (e.g. Charter of Rights and Freedoms or Bill of Rights). It takes away freedoms and gives them back only if people accept the government-mandated program, which is whatever the government prescribes. It takes away the constitutional right to medical discretion, but it really strips away all citizens’ rights and gives some of them back conditionally. To me, this digital ID and its attachment to mandated behaviour is a big move against freedom and democracy. I don’t trust Trudeau at all because even after vaccine mandates have been removed in many jurisdictions, provincial court has supported personal discretion over vaccination, and science has illustrated the moderate protection provided by vaccination against what has become a mild illness, our PM won’t even discuss removing them. Why does he want to keep vaccine mandates and passports if not to control people’s behaviour?1 point

Who knows? Maybe nothing, maybe he liked the attention. It doesn't mean his science was good. The better question is why you figure that a small potatoes associate professor at Guelph's Veterinary College is the most authoritative figure on these debates, other than the fact that he's one of the relative few dissenters that places like Rebel Media can comb the world for to support their narrative. but not any other the other trauma surgeons in Canada who disagree with him, or the ones in the US or Europe or everywhere else in the world. The ONLY health professionals that matter are the few that Rebel Media or Fox News or Telegram can highlight. ? Florida's vaccination rates are high, like New York's, they were not ground zero for COVID-19 in the USA (no JFK airport) and it's warm there, so people aren't stuck indoors swapping germs like they are in New York during late winter/early spring. Mississippi's death per capita (helps to filter out population size, in case you don't know) was high because it's an uneducated Bubba state with low vaccination rates.1 point

Show me where and why. There was LOTS of published research about the negative effect of lockdowns on children from universities etc, and from what I understand few/none of them were threatened/censured for talking about the negative effects of isolation etc. The physicians who were disciplined were the ones making shit up about how vaccines would hurt kids and nonsense like that. It's too bad the statistics don't confirm that, with New York falling well behind the numerous 9 other states for deaths per capita despite being the epicenter and ground-zero for COVID-19 when it first spread to the USA. The worst performer? Unsurprisingly, Mississipi. It's almost as if there was a clear correlation between low vaccination rates and the number of deaths per capita ?.1 point

You should spend some time reading what i posted , and read the sources i posted with it, then i would not have to keep repeating myself... I have to ask, how many times have you used the Geneva convention in either your work or life experiences ? I ask becasue i have 6 international tours during my service...Canadian Rules of Engagement are written by Government lawyers who know this topic and the Geneva Convention better than you and me, and while i am not an expert, i explained to you how the system works in, as they have explained it to us soldiers. Having been in combat and had to deal with the engagement of and capture of Unlawful combatants such as terrorist or Afghanistan civilians who have picked up a weapon and used it on coalition forces... The entire process is simple, and has i explained it...One just has to look at Gitmo and how all those nice guys ended up there...awaiting for a military tribunal to give them their classification. One would also have to ask why Omar was charged and convicted of murder if he was a combatant...he was classified as an Unlawful combatant not entitled to any of the conventions protections, and killing a soldier is murder, imagine that... It does not make you a criminal? just brake the word UNLAWFUL down for a second, it sounds cut and dry to me...Maybe tell omar that he was tried for murder in a combat zone...along with dozens of his buddies... i mean if it was lawful to run around and shot people everyone would be doing it... those rules are put in place to keep everyone in check so we don't have armies or people killing anyone they wish...Just imagine one civilian that decides to engage the enemy open fires from an apartment building , the Russians are free to engage, and the spray the building down with 30 mm auto cannon... and kills 10 of his neighbors see why Civilians that are not authorized by the government can't play soldier...They don't know the rules... You as a civilian have very little rights in war, let alone to defend anything...thats what your military is for, want to fight join up... if not when it is determined down the road your just a civy that decided to join the fight then you will answer to the law...kill a soldier and you'll be facing what Omar did... a prison term in a military prison, trust me not a hotel like civy jails... ask your self a couple of questions are you trained to fight ? against a trained soldier what do you think your odds are ? you got a rifle, a soldier has access to every weapon in the arsenal....your chances of defending anything are slim.... turn on the thermal site and pump 3 rounds of 30 mm into the place your hiding and all they are going to find are your sandals and red mist painted over the walls. Ask yourself, the conflict in Ukraine has been going on for a while now, and it is common for civilians to engage in combat, to the point where the soldiers are pretty jittery and are now firing at civilians becasue they don't know who is truly a non combatant OR some one that is going to ambush them later...Hence why the UN wrote that rule into the convention in the first place... it is illegal for a civy to join the fight for those very reasons it puts others in danger...want to protect your family ,put your family in the basement and wait thats your best option to survive...and when they do enter your house be non combative and do everything they ask or die it really is that simple... Governments never fall ( remember France in Britian)....they move to a safe place and regroup... yes while your occupied you are under foreign leadership...and since Russia is not a signatory of the Geneva Convention, life is going to suck and if you resist then they got lots of open fields to plant you in...and if they find out you have been fighting then your life got much more harder.. a prisoner war camp is not the place you want to spend the summer, not a Russian one any way...1 point

Read what i had posted... in Ukraine territorial defense units are organized by the government and have been issue with all the documents they need... As a civilian you pick up a weaponry You are a target, or a combatant, if you are taken prisoner, and you have not registered with the government in this case Ukraine...then you will be separated from those prisoners that do have the proper ID, you will be sent to a camp where a military tribunal will determine your status... if it is deemed you are a Unlawful combatant you can and will be charged...If you do anything unlawful your breaking the law, i real don't understand why that is so hard to comprehend... My fantasy, why is it all NATO soldiers are issued with Dog tags and a valid military ID card, and in the case of Medics or medical persons, the carry a multi national card which states they are medical persons...I know i is my fantasy, but atleast check it our , before brushing it as fantasy...Any military person could tell you info... Military personal already have id cards... guess it was not a fantasy after all... Treaties, States parties, and Commentaries - Geneva Convention (III) on Prisoners of War, 1949 - - (icrc.org)1 point

but only that guy, and not the other 99% of doctors and experts around the world who disagree with him and can highlight the errors in his conclusions. It's only the dudes who tell you what you want to hear and who parrot your conspiracy theories back to you that have integrity. This is what psychologists like to call cognitive dissonance. Trying to rationalize your farcical world views must be exhausting. You're coping so hard.0 points
