The economy boomed under Trump. The US was energy independent, US Manufacturing was given its biggest boost in decades as he started a movement of reshoring that is still going on, no wars were started, he negotiated a number of peace treaties abroad, inflation was slowed drastically, US personal savings accounts of the average person was the highest it had been. He may be the only president int he past 25 years who actually truly cared about the country. Why would a billionaire in his 70s run for president and go through all of what he went through. He was already financially secure and famous. If we all went down protecting the lives of millions, I would say that it would be an honorable way to go down. And I really don't think you realize how many people are still pro-life. To kill or not to kill is not a right that should be given.

Yep. Leftists said either "We don't trust the vaxes because Trump played a part in creating them" or "We already know in advance that the vaccines will be safe and effective." Conservatives said "Let's see if the vaccines work, but let's not limit our options". And even though Trump played a part in the vaccines, conservatives made their own choices regarding the vax, we never said "These are from the Orange God, they are goodness and light". That was leftists, strangely enough.

not a threat to public health you're just a germaphobe driven crazy by propaganda into supporting totalitarian measures for an overblown "emergency" totalitarians always invoke emergencies, public health and safety to justify their totalitarianism you're no different

a lot of totalitarians think it's not totalitarian coincidence? I think not just because it's your brand of totalitarianism doesn't make it not totalitarian

Ladies and gentlemen... THIS is the perfect answer to the OP's initial question. HATRED that has no reasonable bounds. A HATRED of Orangemanbad that is so deep, that these "Democrats" will lie...cheat...warp reality...stomp on the US public...and generally be the bringers of national failure on all levels...for HATE'S SAKE!

those consequences need not include legal consequences that cause you to lose your job you wish to rig the system so that not getting certain medical procedures you approve of carries additional bad consequences, that need not exist to try and steer more people into making choices you approve of, like getting that medical procedure stop with this strawman of avoiding all responsibility for one's actions being the impetus behind criticism of needlessly punitive legal action they just want to rightfully avoid them being stripped of their rights being a consequence, not avoid all consequences the obtuseness on your end is over 9000

Makes you wonder why universities like U of T and Western are requiring students to have at least 3 jabs to be able to attend classes. Smells to me like lawsuits waiting to happen. Did you hear the recorded phone call of the father who's wife jabbed his 7 year old behind his back and against his wishes? The little guy was in the hospital with myo 2 days later. He called up the pharmacy and demanded to know why his wife wasn't told of this risk when she brought the boy in and the pharmacist said they don't tell people, so that people will bring their kiddos in to get jabbed. He thanked the pharmacist for saying that, because he was recording the call for his lawyer. When this blows up, I hope every doctor, nurse, pharmacist who shoved those jabs into little kids without explaining a 25% increase in risk of myocarditis....gets their asses sued off.

I’ll just leave this here. https://cleverjourneys.wordpress.com/2021/12/14/american-heart-association-97-8-of-under-age-21-patients-who-suffered-myocarditis-was-within-a-month-after-their-mrna-shot/?preview=true 97% of under 21 yr olds who suffered myocarditis, did so within a month after an mRNA shot.

Are you a Communist or have Communist leanings? Is what is happening in Canada now with government into virtually every aspect of your life and dealings OK with you? Are you dependent on Federal/Provincial $$ handouts? Are you self-sufficient, able to look after yourself? The perception seems to be that you are happy being told what to do, what to think, and that everyone that voices a different slant/opinion is your enemy . . .

By saying sure, you agree that if it is their body then they should be able to chose whether they need to take the shot or not. Forcing them into a spot were they would have had to quit their jobs doesn't give them the right to chose. Many of those truckers own their own businesses and trucking is not an easy job, you can't just force them all to quit then replace them. It would be disastrous for the economy.

if you really think our decisions are ours then why do you insist on imposing pointless legal penalties on those who made a decision you don't like? why not just let the cards fall where they may without additional legal penalties added to choices you don't like? why must you pile on, instead of live and let live? it's the piling on that we take issue with you over if you didn't do that people wouldn't be criticizing you for it why is that so hard for you to understand?

That is definitely the way to go about debating issues. Call half the country bozos, dodos, and stupid. Makes you look very intelligent.

No idea what you're talking about. I don't respond to every post you make.

That’s why BC is f’cked. The electorate bought into the climate scam. They can’t build a straw-sized pipeline to the toilet without a protest. It’s rich retirees keeping keeping that province afloat. No diversity in the economy. It’s forestry and low-paying service jobs. They’ve green-lighted the use of hard drugs and Vancouver’s east side is a mess of lost men. Natural beauty and relatively temperate climate saves that part of the country. Its politics are totally irrational like Quebec’s.

The debate of public / private is completely beyond the point. Why are we framing it this way, for decades? Who benefits from gross oversimplifications instead of addressing real and present issues? There's one obvious answer: status quo complex, the bureaucracy. In a hypothetical health services market provided by multiple quality providers regardless of ownership publicly financed or insured customer would have a choice based on quality; cost; access standards and service. They could recover costs for services under standard, or agreed terms of access. And with 100% public no competition no market we have no choice. We have to pay the asking price (through our taxes) and accept the outcome whatever it is because status quo bureaucracy can make any promises and talk about reforms forever but it just cannot improve anything in the reality.

Do you also post under the name(s) 'eyeball' or the equally obnoxious 'ExFlyer' . . . . ?

Yes it is.

The government imposed their sick obsession with injecting people with their juice on the masses. Only sick people think this was a good thing

"Somebody raped somebody" doesn't indict the woke ideology or whatever bogeyman you're after today, sorry. These are the same people who feel it's appropriate to label those who disagree with then as pedophiles right off the bat. I don't know what kind of politics that is but I know it's dishonest.

ExcessiveFlatulence . . .once again.

Just go along with him. Let the leftists make "Easy, government-funded abortions until the last second" their hill to die on. We'll see how it pans out come election time.

it's not a fake concern this woke ideology is poisonous for children especially you demand examples thinking this is a mic drop and no one can bring up examples then when people bring up those examples you come up with a lame excuse to dismiss those examples no amount of proof would ever change your mind your cognitive dissonance and confirmation bias is too strong for reason to penetrate

the school tried to cover it up because the assailant was trans and when called out on it by the father of the victim they silenced him perfect example of extreme wokeness in schools only when the media found out and exposed the school did they finally act tenuous connection my ass

America's policy is also dumb America doing it doesn't necessarily mean it's a good idea for Canada to follow suit both countries can be making a mistake

1. I'm not a conservative so what else could I be? 2. No, no and yes. 3. That's a retarded perception.

You are according to the vast VAST majority of health experts around the world.

Let's remember what started this one. A guy - an ordinary person - was reporting his daughter raped in a girl's washroom by a boy dressed as and claiming to be a girl. He was dragged out of the schoolboard meeting by security. And your advice there would be what? Pay no attention? It's just a culture war?

At this point I’m grateful that the Liberals are persisting in their idiocy with totalitarian bureaucracy like ArriveCan. They’re pulling the elastic of public frustration tighter with every passing day. Hopefully they obliterate themselves in the next election. I’m loving it.

Climate change...what a wonderful tool for the power hungry...what an amazing exercise in masochism. Millions upon millions...convinced that humans are awful creatures that actually caused the climate of an entire planet, to change. So self depreciating that they believe humanity must be punished and endure hardship, to atone for how disgusting we all are. Except for the Chinese and Indians. They make cheap stuff and can be excluded.

how many times do you have to be wrong about Trump being a criminal before you realize you aren't a good judge about whether Trump committed a crime? you've cried wolf on this so many times, when there has been no wolf, that your opinion has no credibility whatsoever you could at least have the humility to admit your bias blinds you when it comes to Trump instead of insisting your judgment of him is impeccable

Lol - I'm surprised with Vassy Kapelos lately - like the way she tried to pin down Jagmeet Singh for backing the Liberals. Could the CBC be following the footsteps of CNN? CNN is apparently trying to become centrist, and getting rid of anchors who won't follow that new rule! CNN president Chris Licht is set on “blowing up” the morning programming block due to poor ratings, a report said late Monday. CNN is in the midst of a transformation led by Licht and WarnerBros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav, who are pushing the left-leaning network toward a greater emphasis on fact-driven and nonpartisan news coverage. Additionally, fellow left-leaning anchors Don Lemon and Jim Acosta — also vocal critics of the conservative agenda — are said to be safe from dismissal for the time being. https://nypost.com/2022/08/23/cnn-blowing-up-its-morning-show-next-after-brian-stelter-firing-report/ CNN's poor ratings. Legacy of Trump!

So is this given amongst mainstream conservative dingbats that Trudeau is no different than Hitler and Parliament is the same as the Kremlin. It's up to these people to explain why this given is such a sensible one. It's not just a stupid idea it's an extraordinarily stupid idea and as such the back-peddling will need to be pretty freaking spectacular.

A really great read is Mollie Hemingway's "Rigged". Just finished the audio version and it's an eye opener. The title is perfectly accurate too. She debunks many of the lies perpetrated by the MSM, many of which continue to show up here on a regular basis. One prime example was the claim that Trump asked the Georgia Secretary of State to "find 11,000 votes". The quote was deceptively edited and the Washington Post did print a retraction much much later, and it was buried. Massive WaPo retraction: Trump did not ask Georgia to "find the votes" (independentsentinel.com) In other news, it's great that the biggest financial supporter of the haphazard Wuhan Virology lab is retiring. But he'll still be in the headlines and he'll continue to make appearances on CNN and the like. If you watch this short video you'll realize what a miserable, lying SOB this man is.

When people come on and lie like Y19 dump their ass. You want to protect this forum then take charge when you can ,take charge, and protect yourself from ridiculous non-stop lies.

So, these new bivalent boosters..... Moderna’s bivalent booster is said to “provide a strong immune response against the Omicron BA.1 variant as well as the original 2020 Wuhan strain,” which, for the record, is extinct and no longer in circulation anywhere in the world. BA.1 is now rarely ever found, either. So, this booster contains two strains that aren’t even relevant anymore. See graph below: Important to note: These boosters will not undergo additional testing. It is claimed that since the first jabs were sooooo "safe and effective" (?) these ones will be, too. They’re being rolled out under a new fast-track standard where ingredients can be swapped out without additional testing. This is the standard protocol for seasonal flu vaccines. However, we’re now using an entirely new type and essentially untested technology. There’s no telling whether variations in the spike mRNA being injected might produce vastly different side effects. They could potentially have differing toxicities, but that’s not being investigated. Also, remember that the “efficacy” they’re referring to is only based on measurements of antibody titers, which tells us nothing, really, about its ability to prevent infection, severity of illness or death. Why? Because antibodies form only a part of your immune response, and they’re not even the most important. It is far more likely that your innate immune system — your first line of defense — will destroy a virus before your adaptive immune system even has a chance to respond and create antibodies. It is important to understand that no vaccine improves your innate immune response. All vaccines are ever able to do is address your own individual adaptive immune system and create antibodies. Your innate immune system has T cells that can directly kill viruses. If you happen to have a vigorous T cell response, you’ll be protected even if your antibodies are low. So, antibodies are not a necessary measure of immunity. Antibody titer levels are what’s called a “surrogate outcome.” It’s a substitute for actual clinical outcome. But it’s in no way equivalent, no matter how much the powers in control want it to be. Antibody titers may be high, but in the real world, more people may end up in the hospital and die — either from the infection or from the shot. In short, high antibody titer is not a guarantee of effectiveness — and it tells us absolutely nothing about safety. Coronaviruses mutate very rapidly in general, and the mRNA jabs are based on a surface protein (spike), which is the most rapidly mutating portion of the entire virus. What happens when you vaccinate against a rapidly mutating virus? You encourage it to mutate even faster, and to develop immune-evading properties. This is what we’ve been witnessing since the beginning of the COVID-19 jab campaign, and at this point, there’s no hope of ever catching up with the virus. What’s worse, while variants have so far evolved into milder strains, they are in fact gaining the ability to evade antibodies, and could theoretically switch course to become even more parthenogenic. This is particularly true when a vaccine is “leaky,” meaning it doesn’t fully prevent infection (which none of the COVID-19 shots do). Just like when you overuse an antibiotic that fails to eradicate the bacteria, which allows antibiotic-resistant bacteria to flourish, overuse of a leaky vaccine can pressure a virus to become more lethal. BA.4 and BA.5 are the most resistant to date, with BA.5 able to get around even of those with natural immunity. Fortunately, it doesn’t appear to cause severe illness in most people. The take-home here is that, had natural immunity been allowed to take place without these jabs, the pandemic would be over and reinfections near-nonexistent. Instead, we’re now in a pandemic of the vaccinated, with the vast majority of serious infections occurring among those who have been jabbed. Choice of whether to boost or not, should be made with FULL INFORMED CONSENT. I hope the information here helps in your decision.

Whatever I possess I suspect it's better than your writing compression.

that only applies when it isn't their body and/or eyeball approves of it because eyeball has no principles and just wants to punish those he disagrees with

Their body their choice. Right?

I live in Florida. I can't stress how fortunate we have been with DeSantis and other FL leaders.

Just because one can't drive to Ottawa on a whim in the middle of winter is not an indication of lack of support.

It’s a nice place but I can’t stomach all the communists and green Nazis. Bunch of flakes.

In this season it's not left vs right, republican vs democrat, etc. It's who wants to return to normalcy vs who wants us to discard meat, cars, freedom, religion, privacy, ownership, etc., and do what we are told WRT vaccines, environmentalism, all energy and any contrary thought whatsoever.

They're all worthless liars, as evidenced by their hysteria and hypocrisy over Jan 6th, their lies about Russian collusion, their denial of inflation, their lies and hypocrisy about covid, their lies about "mostly peaceful protests", their inability to take ownership of the fact that their lies and hysteria about Trump caused actual violence against elected officials, etc.

I thought for a second that you were going to put in a "HOW DARE YOU!" into your post. The the plan from the left for climate change is only huge hikes in taxes and wind and solar, that's about it.

Tulsi is a bit of a Dino in today's term. She might as well run as a Republican now that she is ostracized by the current Democrat crew.

1. If you think that I am lying or mentally deficient then don't talk to me. Otherwise, it's arrogant to tell me what I am thinking. 2. Back to the point: I looked into it. 3. Guess what? I disagree. As do many Republicans who were in the party before 2009.

Well, just as long as you're in your 'comfort zone' . . . . . happy with a failed energy policy, happy with racial division, happy with a stalled economy, happy with a staggering national debt . . . happy, happy, happy! Afraid to strive for something better. Afraid to take the necessary steps to help get this country off it's knees. Stand proud Boges. You're the kind of citizen JT will use/abuse.

Why would I try to define it in my own words, which would fall short of accuracy, when I have professional definitions on the internet? Quote so·cial·ism [ˈsōSHəˌlizəm] NOUN a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole. synonyms: leftism · Fabianism · syndicalism · consumer socialism · utopian socialism · welfarism · communism · Bolshevism · radicalism · militancy · progressivism · [more] policy or practice based on the political and economic theory of socialism. synonyms: leftism · Fabianism · syndicalism · consumer socialism · utopian socialism · welfarism · communism · Bolshevism · radicalism · militancy · [more] (in Marxist theory) a transitional social state between the overthrow of capitalism and the realization of Communism. Unquote You will notice synonyms for Socialism include welfarism, progressivism, radicalism, etc. which we already have in Canada. To many people, Socialism is a utopian society, but they do not know or understand that it is inherently evil for the reasons already stated. Socialism ignores human nature. One thing about Socialism is it punishes the hard-working, the innovators, and producers while rewarding the lazy, and non-producers.

BC is a strange place. It has everything it needs to be successful. But they keep electing NDP twits.

. Our whole Juridical & moral system is based on the idea of ultimate good and ultimate evil as in God/Devil. Like its two absolute force of nature. We are looking at good and evil as if it were binary and universal, when it's actually very relative to many different situations and people. This is what's causing all the illogical running around with our heads cut off, that this thread talks about. Because there is no such thing as ultimate good or ultimate evil, in this universe. Good and bad only exist relatively to something. Something may be good for me, and evil for someone else. Because we live in our own minds, it's easy to see good and evil as a binary thing, because good and evil is binary in our own mind, as its relative to ourselves. But it isn't binary to the universe. And that's the flaw that makes us think illogically. Because we can't see the bigger picture. We only see it as good for me or bad for me. Or good for us/bad for us. We're trying to make sense of the universe while staring straight at our naval like its the ultimate source of what is right and what is wrong. Try to ponder. What if we were telepathic with all living things, and how that, would change our view of the universe.
