Since the cops clearly failed here, now Gun nuts want the teachers armed. The same teachers that a grooming kids with CRT. Americans are insane.

Your opinion and my opinion. A world wide health pandemic has changed the political complexion of every country in the world. I am truly hoping that you are wise enough to realize Canada is not a solitary nation in this pandemic. All countries had one level of precaution or another. Some more so than others but no country was without action. Each country had to make judgment based upon their population and level of health care. Did some do more? For sure. Did some do less? For sure. Were some populations pissed off with the actions? For sure. Were some populations happy with the actions? For sure. Which one was right? Point is that be it liberal, conservative, communist, Marxist or dictatorship, they all did something that they felt was best for their own country and population. it is hopefully done. Beating a dead virus is now meaningless. As for being a threat to a country, I suspect that other than communist and dictatorships, all leaders are or have pissed off the population in the past few years. Seems a minuscule population group on this forum cannot move on.

Yes just go along with politically motivated prosecutions. Never speak out about governments abusing the legal system. Remain quiet as leftists push sick policies and make the country unpalatable to live. Watch as leftist politicians abuse your fellow Canadians over a personal medical decision. I've honestly never been one for politics but after watching Trudeau et al turn this country into a clown show I have no choice. He's a disgrace. Families ripped apart because of his B.S. Employees of several decades let go or forced to go without pay over their decision not to take an injection. The man's a joke. And quite frankly I'm disgusted by the number of people who cheer it on

Sure grab the illegal ones too. But the concentration of both legal and illegal guns in the US is so saturated. That's why they experience so much gun crime relative to the rest of the world.

Apparently, the NRA went bankrupt some time ago. I guess that must mean that they are not such a powerful lobby in the US anymore. It looks like your anti gun lobby in the US HAS won the day against the NRA. ☹️

Ok I see you changed it from 'Canada is the only country restricting freedoms to travel for unvaccinated people. ' I have no complaint against your revised statement.

Yes I am. Are you aware of the other restrictions Canada has for unvaccinated people? Restrictions that no other country in the world has? Ya. LOL ? Maybe do a little research before you LOL.

"There can be competing rights, and balancing them doesn’t mean all freedom is lost — unless your definition of freedom is the four-year-old’s simple mantra of “me — me — me — me.” Wangersky: Consider carefully how 'freedom' is defined by advocates (msn.com)

Are you aware of what Canada's restrictions are for unvaxxed? It seems like you are not. This is what I find frustrating here sometimes - a person who just wants to disagree for the sake of disagreeing, quickly googles an article that seems to say what they want it to say and VOILA! proof. You probably should have read the article closer and made yourself aware of what the differences are in Canada. We are the only ones in the world with the restrictions we have in place for unvaxxed citizens. It's one of the reasons the protests are continuing.

So many? Or are you presenting what you believe is an exception to prove the rule? And I think you may be over-selling the guns you believe were on the street during Saddam's reign:

I glanced it. Seems to say there are still travel restrictions within Europe for unvaccinated right ? Or did I get it wrong ?

You're no more Libertarian than those progs on the Conservative leadership thread pretending to be concerned an actual Conservative might gain control of the party are Conservatives. Cruz was not talking about "cops everywhere." A libertarian would have understood the distinction between protecting the public and "cops everywhere."

Which bills are these? Do you have the numbers? When were they introduced? Inquiring minds need to know.

If that really bothered you, you'd be pushing for fentanyl controls before you worried about anything else.

People in other countries have antidepressants and pandemic isolation. In fact more social isolation than a place like Texas with fewer lockdowns and pandemic restrictions. More distractive nonsense from Tucker “Putin Propagandist” Carlson.

Well, there is another possibly determining factor here. Drugs: Could SSRI Antidepressants Be One of the Causes Behind These Mass Shootings? Tucker Carlson: Following Texas school shooting and Buffalo tragedy, leaders should ask this question And another possible influencer in the recent flux of incidents may be social isolation out of the pandemic.

Yes there's still a climate change emergency underway but we have a conservative emergency that's more pressing because of the way it overshadows everything else and suppresses forward movement on virtually everything. You make everything suck.

I don't think it's so much "conspiracy theories". I think what people are alarmed about is the potential abuse by those in power, who have already been proven to have a lust for abusing their power. It would be great to live in your La-La-Land of "My government would never do anything to impede or restrict my freedoms without a damn good reason". Sorry, but "hoping" people in power won't abuse it, isn't a good strategy. Canada is the only country restricting freedoms to travel for unvaccinated people. There is no reason for it - scientifically or otherwise. It's only for political advantage now, and really - once we found who was vulnerable early in the pandemic, it has been since then. Is Trudeau clinging to unscientific restrictions because he wants to eventually remove all Canadians' freedoms? I don't really know what his motives are. And neither do you. Both of us are speculating. The difference is - my speculations are based on his continuing power grabs, restricting freedoms despite the rest of the world's example and flying in the face of science and common sense. Why you agree with him and none of this alarms you - is only because you "hope" he's only doing this out of....what? Stupidity? Stubbornness? I really think there's more to it than that. Harry Rakowski: COVID-19 reminded us how much healthy lifestyles matter (msn.com) It is long past time for Trudeau to stop using covid in his lust for power.

Confederation is an agreement of the Crown. If you are disloyal to confederation you are disloyal to the Crown. These are the laws of the Crown, embodied by the Queen. You don't even know how our country works. Your duty is to obey the Queen's statutes. Bend the knee and kiss her feet traitor.

I agree 100 %, and am all for nuclear energy or any other type of energy that is carbon-free, but we either refuse to look at them, or we don't have the will to support a massive move like this. although the liberals did sink some cash into NLFD hydro project, a little too late mind you it is an investment. we should also be working on getting this power to the rest of the maritime provinces before Quebec steals that project as well. This could be an excellent use of all those carbon taxes we are paying.

Furthermore, the reactions are the same in free countries. Googling will show you protests in France, Austria, Belgium, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, as well as our closest partners the US and UK. And the impacts of the large events of the last few years have also been similar. The one thing I hope we can do in Canada is start to separate the wheat from the chaff in terms of "public" criticism of government. More people are being exposed to it via social media, and I hope they are starting to see the difference between baseless conspiracy-mongering and actual criticism. The governments that try to court the mongerers will find that they have zero loyalty (eg. Doug Ford) and are better off ignoring bad criticism.

But, we still haven't made the effort to stop it. We are getting off topic. Jean Charest all the way.

the average Canadian is simply delusional as to what the purpose of Canada is Canada was Confederated for one reason in the face of the Glorious Union, the British were simply not going to fight to defend Canada from America so the British told their colonists here that they were on their own for all intents & purposes the colonies would have to group together to defend themselves against the Americans most Canadians opposed it vehemently at the time, they knew what it meant back then Canada was being kicked out of the British Empire, Canada was being abandoned but when the British Empire collapsed in the First World War, everybody was kicked out of the Empire Canada was essentially sold to the Americans for gold the British signed their Canadian dependant over to the Americans in effect, because the British were broke now Canada is run by the Americans as a vassal state in essence the provinces actually cut each other's throats in a competition for access to the American market Canada is defended by Fortress America, Canada is not capable of defending itself so Canada really serves no purpose at this point, Canada is obsolete the Canadians who have an emotional attachment to Canada, generally don't even know what Canada is thus how the Liberals can so easily impose their Post National State to replace Canada and most of these supposed Canadian super patriots can't even tell the difference

When your competition is racist backwoods religious nutters and a bunch of hippie commies it must be pretty good to be a Liberal. Turns out common sense isn't as common as it's made out.

dodging the question eh? typical Russia bot

Canada doesn't feed us Canada is a vampire squid holding us back the interests of Canada are not our interests you assume they are because you have Stockholm syndrome

Traitor.

Canadian is essentially a pejorative anyway feel free to not consider me Canadian that's a badge of honor

Land gold and silver are bubbles? Man...that's some bubble. Thousands of years old. Luna flopped. Never had any. Lol...back in my day, we knew what gender Jim and Sally were. But seriously folks...common sense is rather eternal. No matter how much one might try to deny it. Yes...back to land.

I think that's your gig.

Bullshit, his entire life becomes public once elected to office, and people in the public light are held accountable for each discrepancy just like any person declared public. Do you think Johnny dep wants his past marriage made public...does he have a choice? Not only is the man or woman going to be judged in Canada but around the world as well. And yet others have been canceled due to rumors', The General that was handling the logistics of Covid, The alleged incident happened 30 plus years ago, it to was not proven and still is not proven, and yet his reputation and career are over. Or take a look at the Vice CDS an Admiral who was fired and his career destroyed over a rumor and allegation. I'm sure if I took some more time to research there are many more cases just like this one. But I get it the PM has different rules. Every government should be held accountable for its actions, you see it as hate, and maybe some of it is, but you can't compare any PM with Justin. And i do believe that things should be done differently, and better results should be not expected but demanded. I mean this is the highest office in our nation and Canadians barely pay attention to the happenings going on in Ottawa, or have become numb to it. NAFTA was not the big of a win, in fact, we lost ground on several items, and let's not even mention the aluminum thing, and Covid it was not a win , at best a tie, there are plenty of things that could have been handled better...I'm sure everyone could list at least ten things that had gone south.

Ok, let me ask for comparison - did you think Harper's security measures were worse or not as bad?

I'm not "screaming hysterically." This is an online forum. If I was screaming hysterically - I'd be using all caps. Like you. I watch the Senate a fair amount. There are some Senators who are very concerned with Trudeau's lust for power and his constant attempts at making legislation that gives him all the power. Denise Batters is one of them who has often spoken out. I get it, you are not concerned by anything Trudeau does. **shrug** Not my fault you wanna be a 4 year old with your fingers in your ears crying "I can't hear you!! Neener, neener, neener! Can't hear you! Not listennnnnniiiiinnnnggg! Neener, neener!"

Really? I stand by the institution that just let Tamara go free. A little while ago you are all saying that the courts were under Trudeau's iron grip. Get some consistency madam.

So you cackling gaggle of the gun grabbers' chicken littles have been convinced you can save America with stricter gun laws... This last mass shooting happened in Texas so the instigators of gun grabbing hysterics jumped on it, screed and pointed fingers at the 2nd amendment: And because gun laws in Texas are lax you cheerfully bought in. Let's ignore the fact the kid was nuts - cutting his face up with knives, offering cryptic social media warnings and the 2 mass shootings before this one were in New York which has strict gun laws. And speaking of strict gun laws would you like to talk about the American shootings capital of Chicago which has among the strictest gun laws in North America. But I'm listening. Which gun laws precisely were you wanting to bring in federally that you believe will save America?

Only in your warped world could shop lifting be equated with shooting 19 little kids.

This people aren't even political. They see only heroes and villains as though they learned about life from action movies. It's depressing to share a forum with them. As was pointed out by Beaver - Republicans ruled Florida (and the USA for 6 terms or 24 years since 1980) so what is this idea that Democrats have some secret grip on power. But ultimately talking to them is, unfortunately, a way to pass the time. Like asking a child where the stars come from the answer is at least amusing...

The lowering of standards to include not just women but others not fit enough or previously not acceptable is definitely a problem. Not justi in the Military though. Standards have been lowered all over to include those that should not be there and that has jeopardized others within the same job. There was, at one time, women joining or applying for positions just because they could. Many did not last long at all such as those in the infantry, or even fighter pilots. I had many come into Air Force trades, many succeeded in the avionics end of the trades as the jobs we primarily in shops and indoors but in the aviation trades where the work was deployments, outdoors and heavy lifting, they all (not all but many) dwindled away. Quota hiring never made things better, just more difficult for those remaining.

What more strength do you need? Nuclear weapons? As I said, the Canadian politicians have ensured there is no nation in Canada, so what do you want to protect now? And who do you think you need to fight? Russia? They have enough land and would not invade us unless we did something drastically stupid and suicidal. They actually had so much land that they gave some to the USA - the whole of Alaska with all of its gold. We, the whole world, need to reduce our fighting power and weapons not militarize more!

If you don't believe we need a much stronger military, you are no use to Canada for a citizen and would let the likes of Putin walk in and take over. You're more of a liability because you can vote for the pacifist government we have.

I thought I answered your question already. No. Because as I said we give everything away without a fight and we have no nation to protect, as apparently everyone is looking after the interests of themselves and their original nation.

Right ? It's a pile on of people just repeating buzzwords like "Democrat Marxists" "Wokism" Zero context, zero analysis and generally unprincipled low-intellect contributions... This is why Trudeau will win a 4th term - people can't offer an alternative that rises above name calling...

I'm a Nationalist because I love this country thus need to oppose the selling out of our natural wealth to globalists. As for the discussion about Canadian military contributions to the world wars... We don't need to justify ourselves to anyone...let alone Yankees. In fact...agree with them. "You are correct. Canada is insignificant and had no impact on the wars. You would hate it here...so save yourself and don't come." Have a great day Canada.

Everyone should be a nationalist and believe in a strong military to protect their country and like-minded countries. All we have to do is look at the Ukraine and other countries in Europe to know that. A strong military is the best deterrent to people like Putin and his supporters. This has nothing to do with violent rightists. The problem in Canada is the left wing pacifists like the NDP and Liberals who oppose a strong military.

Even though the US was over two years late to the party and had to be attacked first, (even Hitler declared war on the US first) it can be justifiably proud of its contributions when it finally did arrive. What I don't understand is the arrogance and contempt for the contributions of others. Is it a national trait or just plain ignorance?

Queen of Canada. She has no official function as Queen of England.

I just reviewed the linked YouTube video "Why You Should Be a Nationalist" and commented there in defiance of their claim. Historically, "Nationalism" used to refer to one's Nationality, their ETHNIC ancestral relationships as a 'people', not merely the country. The "National" in "National Socialisn" asserts that a particular extention of family and tribe should DEFINE the constitution of their country, as a SINGLE "nation". Todays perverted meaning of 'Nation' to mean country is ONLY a coinciding reference to one's people within a country as sharing their 'nationality'. To the Germans, they were the 'aboroginals' who demanded respect of them as having the 'FIRST NATION', a people that no longer identified the makeup of their country preWorldWartimes. The point the video made regarding supporting "family, community (tribe), and nation" is the actual part that the Nazis were demanding they should re-constitutionalize as a SOCIETY (the 'Social" in National Socialism). The generic term 'fasci' comes from the bundle of straws OF THE SAME KIND that has weakness only as independent straws. This is a univeral TRIBALIST position meant to entice those of a shared PARTICULAR culture to embrace so as to STRENTHEN their STRAIN because they believed one's intrinsic genetic inheritance is in sync with their ancestors ideal 'culture' being fostered. The term, "National", thus, only coincideds with a boundary IF that coutnry is PURE in one SINGE type of 'cultural' identity within those borders. However, "nation" is the PEOPLE of a given ethnicity regardless of borders except if proposed to constitutionalize their Social platform to FAVOR the given Nationality. An example of a "Nation" is a tribe of people like the Cree (Nation) aboriginals who are not confined to a specific country's border but to their ancestral family. If a country like Canada becomes specifically made up of Cree Nationalists, and the country gets redefined to require Society repect them with priority, their people BECOME the country's legitimate 'Social' identity based upon their specific Nation, ...them being Cree, for this example. Countries like Israel and Saudi Arabia are thus National Socialist examples given they constitute the society based upon a genetic ancestral association along with some presumed 'culture'. For Israel, the cultural link is being Jewish, the genetic tribe they coincidingly believe in is being purely Semitic, a purity of race defining their fasci.

Canada has simply failed to launch as a sovereign independent Westphalian nation state because Canada was not designed to be a Westphalian nation state in 1867, the nation was Great Britain the purpose of Canada was to be a bulwark against the American Republic at the gates the British Empire then collapsed in the First World War, the Empire went broke fighting the Germans in Flanders and Canada was suddenly set adrift Canada was not meant to function this way, Canada has to have an Empire to manage its affairs so the British in effect handed Canada off, from the British Empire, to the American Empire of Liberty

Any migrant who becomes a citizen of Canada and lied during their swearing of allegiance...should be escorted out.
