I think we’re seeing a rehash of centuries-old battles: Vatican versus Elizabeth the First, France versus Britain, Whig versus Tory, Liberal versus Conservative. The problem is that the current Liberals are undoing much more than the authority of the Crown, which was already substantially diminished. They are currently undermining our whole liberal-democratic system and taking the country closer to Chinese style totalitarian capitalism, where rights are fewer and less protected, surveillance is heavy, government can discredit you for your political views, life is cheaper, history is erased, rich cultural roots are dismissed as colonial and oppressive, values are weak or confused, and so on. Pied piper good-hair Justin Trudeau has led the country off the cliff of Post-National State. Even many in the opposition didn’t see this coming. 2022 has been a nightmare for Canada, coming off the heels of an already very difficult pandemic period.

Ah Richelieu at last you are exposed for the insidious traitor and murderous coward you people are

so you only support all that killing if enough people vote for it that doesn't make your worldview any less pathetic and evil

Sorry thats a lot of excuses, we can't paint every farmer with the same brush, cutting 30 % of all fertilizers is a steep price to pay when farmers are not the ones making themselves rich, and right now and for the foreseeable future prices on everything are going to only get worse, So why not wait until the economy gets better, don't tell me it is becasue we are in a climate crises that we need to act now not later. today it was set to 2030 but everything about this climate crises has changed on short notice, this could be changed in a heart beat. And it stuns me that they choose to mess with the food supply which is only growing not shrinking, not only bad economical sense, but just a bad decision all around. Not to mention strangling new drilling permits, restricting amount pumped out of the ground, and riding this climate change file like it was the last horse in the rodeo when there was a million things we could have done to atleast made it look like a crises. My point was that the US government took action to address this huge issue, we still have not started to make our medicine that is critical, or medical machines as promised, we have made some PPE that was made but not any more, and we have not replaced our national emergency stocks. not much progress was made on the covid after action reports. So the government is responsible for 3 % of the inflation thats a lot, but have done really nothing to bring that number down, no action is just as bad as taking the wrong steps. CERB and keeping business afloat did not end up costing the entire 600 plus billion, more like half of that but there is no real record on where the other money went. That is not OK... It is a tough job, and they get paid well i assume, but they do get paid to keep inflation between 2 and 3 % right...that is their mandate right.

Let's all make sure we NEVER use cites everyone!

a majority of people agreeing on something doesn't make it good especially if that majority supported killing people you find to be a burden to decrease the population

For me the big opposing forces today are a society of liberty with God/Spirit at the centre versus a materialist cultural Marxist state with man (insert world leader: Mao, Lenin, Xi, etc.) at the centre. The cultural Marxists have been in the ascendant and lead to nihilistic totalitarianism and trampling of the human spirit.

Up to that point though we need to verify. Have all the private conversions you want, but when it comes to a paid lobbyist asking a public official for something the request needs to be recorded and witnessed as such. If that doesn't happen it can't be delivered on.

He didn't like deficits. Trump loved them. Calling Ryan "trash" is that Trumpy toxicity which poisons all politics.

I think oversight is good, but I’m not interested in more surveillance. You can’t prevent people from having private conversations, thankfully. This isn’t North Korea — yet.

You’re absolutely right, but it’s getting increasingly difficult to trust our government and courts to do the right thing and protect people and their rights. This isn’t the Canada of my childhood. Post-national state, it turns out, is a thing, a kind of dystopian quasi-totalitarian system that wears a thin veneer of civility and has the trappings of western free market capitalism and democracy. In truth our rights are being eroded in unprecedented ways. I’d like to hear the civil liberties organizations and Catholic Church weigh in on these serious blows to our humanity.

I would never make the claim that Trump was perfect and right about everything. He was certainly naive about the FBI and made bad choices for the FBI leadership. Yes, Strzok is human and he is allowed to express his opinion and express it privately to his friends. Seems to me that he spent quite a lot of time on the job expressing those opinions and he clearly let his private opinion interfere with his job. What was the insurance policy he bragged about? Not much came of it so it must have been a complete hoax just like Russia collusion. Donald Trump was the target from day one and then they went in search of a crime or crimes to pin on him. For you to suggest there was no conspiracy against Trump is ludicrous. Are you totally unaware of the Steele dossier and it's origins? Trump is human too and flawed like the rest of us. And he did a better job as President than Biden is doing. The big question is who is the front runner to replace Joe when he get's removed (by the Democrats)?

We see this immorality ingloriously on display with Sam Harris atm; where the ends justify the means even if it means the dead bodies of children in Hunter Biden's sex dungeon.

Silly questions. Okay we’ll play your game. Do court justices ever make bad decisions? Are judges and juries infallible?

For some questions the majority may need to accept changes that only a minority require. It is what it is.

indeed, and it truly does emanate from the French Revolution, to this day the left of the President in the National Assembly was towards the Commune the masses in the streets with the guillotines in the apple carts the tyranny of the majority, the rule of a mob the right of the President in the National Assembly being towards the monarchy God's de jure representative on earth, the sacred individual the Scots Protestant Reformation making the seminal alteration no man nor office between you & the Almighty thus you are the sacred individual, crowned by Jesus of Nazareth every man a sovereign, with God given rights & prerogatives unto himself Declaration of Independence preamble the shot heard round the world

so there is a truce, the Peace of 1848, Responsible Government, pre-Confederation Louis-Hyppolite LaFontaine & Robert Baldwin For I've given my heart to the place I was born And forgiven the whole House of Orange King Billy and the whole House of Orange

that is frankly very specific those rights being God given only within the context of the Christian Protestant Reformation ultimately an Anglo-American project come across the Atlantic on the boat to North America from a very particular place the banks of the River Boyne in 1690 that being the inflection point, wherein the Enlightenment seizes control of the British Crown rendering it constitutional, at the Westminster Parliament, at the ascension of William III, Prince of Orange it is only we Orangemen of Upper Canada who are the Guardians of Confederation the Supremacy of a loving & merciful God, the rule of the Common Law said Confederation only incited by the invasion of those Fenian bastards, at Ridgeway, 2 June 1866 semper paratus

Let justice be done though the heavens fall.

kill every human that cougar considers a burden a truly despicable ideology all those people you want to kill, cougar their body is not your body therefore it's not your choice what an absolutely reprehensible post

But you know what, Nationalist? Mulroney created our federal VAT, a consumption tax that no US federal politician has been able to create. (Obamacare? Easy. Try to create a consumption tax.) Mulroney reduced tariffs on trade with Americans. (Try that, now.) True, Mulroney tried and failed to change the way our federal State is organised. ======== In Quebec, I saw how Charest works. Harper may dislike him. But Charest gets things done.

Okay, what about the other links to studies in this thread, there’s got to be 40+. Here’s another one for you. Almost 2000 clinical trials for the Covid vaccines around the globe were all funded by federal governments or the Pharma corporations themselves. Conflict of interest, anyone? https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2795180

My own personal risk analysis is simple. I know the foreign institution where my doctor trained and I know I’m far better off with a doctor than without a doctor. For the country, it’s a far more difficult thing to figure out. What I would contend is that, one way or another, every Canadian deserves timely access to medical expertise. As the article on Fogo mentions, we have health hubs here for those without FPs that you have to phone into to get an appointment. Needless to say all the spots go rapidly in the morning once the lines are open and you can bet your bottom dollar that those most in need often aren’t nimble enough to get those spots. Even a Neanderthal like myself can see that technology could help with this particular problem. We run golf clubs better than this, for crying out loud!
