Yes and there’s very odd institutional behaviour at the federal level and in some institutions. People are made to mask up in federal offices no matter what the provincial jurisdictions allow (though in Quebec federal workers can’t provide services in English under new provincial legislation). Western University requires students to get a third booster AND wear masks. The Ontario Human Rights Commission (AKA woke far-left identity politics bureau) is supporting this trouncing of individual rights. Freedom continues to be under attack in Canada. Our federal government leads the attack, which is why this government disgusts me and Canada is losing its stature and claim to be a liberal democracy.

Lots of cold hard Chinese cash…

The department involved will have a record of any declassification. How the hell can anyone know if something has been declassified and OK to circulate if there is no record of it. Why would anyone in their right mind release a secret document if they didn't have written authorization to do so? You guys are living in some kind of cloud cuckoo universe.

I just had a nice breakfast, hit some balls at the driving range, spent about ten minutes on the putting green, and then got my ass kicked by my wife. She had 5 pars and a birdie on 9 holes. I couldn't hit a green in regulation to save my life. Best of all, there's about 13 more hours left of this day to hear about it over and over agin lol ?

You act as if you're terrified of our government. But it is just dramatizing you're engaged in right or did you honestly believe Trudeau was only mere hours away from using tanks to crush the truckers convoy?

Get a load of what Kari Lake said, I think yesterday. The summary would be that questioning 2016 makes you a good democrat. Questioning 2020 makes you a traitor, according to Dems or the MSM.

Why aren't you getting out while you can?

"Influence" eh ? So they don't control anything then. They're just a forum for neoliberal government projects.... Agreed.

I guess that means it's a free speech issue. Like the right to lie about vaccines.

they've done it ad nauseum after 2000, 2004 and 2016 and after the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial election they bitched about it constantly leading up to 2020 then only after they won was it a conspiracy to question election integrity at all basically they whine about election integrity every time they lose an election, especially if it's a close apparently you only notice when Trump does it

Harper gave a speech there. McCarthy died a long time ago...

Yet there were very concerning developments that validate the concerns of “conspiracy theorists”: Schwab’s claim to have penetrated more than half the Canadian Cabinet the maintenance of the ArriiveCan app as a digital travel ID containing all sorts of personal data that was never required pre-pandemic and aligns with a WEF digital travel ID plan to which Canada is a signatory the unprecedented freezing of bank accounts of political opponents the refusal of government to meet with protesters of vaccine mandates, the public denigration of them (as “racists” and “misogynists” with “unacceptable views” and “Do we make a space for these people?”) the declaration of the Emergencies Act and attempt to reinstate it after border blockades had been removed the criminalization of a political protest and the laying of charges against protesters including the seizure of assets and removal of business licenses Trudeau’s speech about a Great Reset and his and Freeland’s heavy involvement with the WEF as Young Global Leaders Given the continued maintenance of inane travel policies and restrictions, as well as a persistent application of carbon taxes in a high inflation, high fuel cost environment, how can we not see Trudeau’s government as beholden to unaccountable international organizations and interests? Don’t you think it’s dangerously dismissive to write it all off as conspiracy theory? Governments have to protect sovereignty and accountability to voters. Too many sketchy events have taken place. I haven’t even mentioned the reckless biohazard/weapon joint ventures with China. Either Trudeau is naive, stupid, or consciously supporting certain international interests that haven’t received the support of Canadian voters. Probably all three. We certainly don’t have a transparent account of our government members’ discussions with bodies like the WEF. ESG stakeholder capitalism is another movement of which many Canadians are unaware. It ties corporate and business interests together and uses fluffy feel good virtuous language as a means of consolidating power and offloading costs and restrictions onto citizens and consumers to meet goals cooked up by international think tanks (elites). Our government has signed onto global central planning in a big way. Many Canadians including myself believe that this undermines citizens’ rights, adds more power to the powerful, and undermines our national sovereignty. It needs to stop and the Conservatives have a very valid criticism here. Lewis, Poilievre, Baber, and others are rightly sounding the alarm. The left used to express such concerns. So much has changed.

This is sort of starting to smack of desperation. Why are they so desperate to get as many shots in everyone as fast as possible? When it came out that Trudeau had bought 10 shots for every Canadian, I wondered how he was going to convince people to do that in such a short time period. Now I see it being played out - scare them, take away their jobs/careers if they don't comply, demonize any who dissent......

Victorian Canadian society had a solution, passed down from the middle ages it was called chivalry qualities expected of an ideal knight, especially courage, honour, courtesy, justice, and a readiness to help the weak. but males are no longer raised with these ideals

"It began when an opinion article published in 2016 on the WEF's website — entitled "Welcome to 2030. I own nothing, have no privacy, and life has never been better" and intended, its author says, as "a discussion about some of the pros and cons of the current technological development" — started getting attention in 2020, after WEF founder and chairman Klaus Schwab wrote his own opinion piece arguing for something he called "the great reset." These opinion pieces represent two of a number of diverse viewpoints the WEF commissions and publishes, Monck said. The "great reset" has since morphed into a conspiracy theory claiming that a cabal of global elites is planning to remake society to eliminate private property and impose an authoritarian global government." https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/world-economic-forum-official-says-canada-has-bigger-issues-to-discuss-than-conspiracy-theories/ar-AA11qBVk?ocid=EMMX&cvid=bb4f7519dfda48a6b94da04e4c11d424

Only a certified kook would believe Trump’s obviously made-up zero-evidence Big Lie. Stop being such a mindless puppet.

There has to be a record of doing it dumbass. If you were a working in a security agency would you just release a secret document to the public on someones verbal say with no record of you being instructed to do so? What kind of idiot would do something that stupid?

I see what you're getting at. And yes, this is one of the things why lawsuits have been and will continue to be successful. If the mandate or requirement is there when you are hired, you can choose to work there or not. But employers cannot add a mandate after you're already there and if they do, they must compensate you if you leave and you can collect EI. Yes, I work. I have a great job with a boss who also sees the BS so jabbers and masks have never been required and won't ever be. Good thing too - the jabbed ones at work are barely healthy enough to work right now and they're 10-20 years younger than me.

Not quite. Dippers are going to choose mostly Libs as their alternate. Greens are going to choose NDP or Lib. How much will Cons gain from Bernier's supporters and Christian Heritage? Not enough! Though an STV result would more accurately reflect the will of the people than FPTP

I was up at dawn to enjoy the nice weather from the earliest opportunity I had the nice breakfast but I don't take the wife on in golf she takes lessons, she goes golfing all the time so I'm just kicking back in the sunshine, drinking, smoking & spinning some tunes it's gonna rain tomorrow so I'm maxing out on deck, patio, backyard & pool, as the last days of summer slip away

Damn straight.

In your dreams. They can't declassify documents after they leave office.

I was in the music business in the 1990s. Gospel sells. Not as well as some types of music, but well enough that I'd always jump at the chance to put on a concert with them. Well behaved audiences...don't underestimate them. ? I'm into the Petersens and Liliac as of late. Both Christian family bands. Liliac does Black Sabbath/Dio/etc covers. ? Good voice on the one kid.

If you're being honest, the electoral system is corrupt, because the Dems are doing everything in their power to make it corrupt. They are trying to ban voter ID, allow illegals to vote, they want mass mail-in ballots and ballot farming, they don't want signature matching to be a requirement for mail-ins, they want to allow mail-ins to show up several days after the election, etc. Which one of the Dems' proposed changes isn't fraud-friendly, Aristedes? I defy you to name one of those changes and tell me how it improves election integrity...

Ditto, friend. Speaking of Hank Jr.

the origins of this new aristocratic movement & associated divide & conquer strategy all really dates back to 2008 and the Occupy Wall Street movement the elites got the message they were the 1% and the masses were coming after them with torches & pitchforks ever since, the corporate & government elites have been attempting to divide & conquer desperately putting the working & middle classes against each other, to avoid revolutionary overthrow of the Establishment I don't think Polievre is one of these new aristocrats but in order to be Prime Minister in Canada, one has to rule with an iron fist Polievre is running on Sunny Ways right now but how will that last, when the Conservatives start to feel the heat ? because they don't have a solution to the inflationary debt crisis neither

the Liberals are adopting the strategy & tactics of the Democrat Perty, down to the smallest detail I think it backfires on them exponentially it is destroying their Natural Governing Party status, making them seem like foreign weirdos to Canadians instead I expect they will be wiped out in the end, just like they have been in Ontario but then I expect you will see what has happened in Ontario when the new aristocracy simply co-opts the Conservatives as soon as they are in office

I think we're missing out maybe. So perhaps there's huge entertainment value in complaining about fabricated and elaborate fictions to strangers?

I think she could run for President. Quite the lady.

see how Chrystia Freeland cannot even be shouted at by another Canadian without the Liberal pseudo aristocracy & associated cronies invoking that as "criminal" because they not only fancy themselves as being above the law they fancy themselves to be above the masses, as a kind of Nobility, separate & above the Hoi Polloi hence all the double standards, one rule for them, another rule for you & I

Wrong. In 2016, anyone was allowed to question the results. In 2020, you were labeled a quack, and cancelled and or arrested for joining a protest.

Then what's the point of moving, they are clearly powerful enough to get you wherever you live, given all the world leaders they have on their "guest speaker" list.

well I do respect your views on the matter but could you clarify exactly what you are indicting Freeland for ? are you saying that she is a National Socialist and/or Nazi sympathizer ? or if not, what is her specific offence vis a vis her support of Ukrainian nationalism ?

None of this validates the theories that WEF is anything but a neoliberalism beacon and lobbying symposium.

no it's not it's a call to communism selling it by calling it stakeholder capitalism as usual, you allow buzzwords to distract you from the obvious

NACI now suggests Canadians consider a COVID-19 booster every 90 days | Vancouver Sun Is it really a vaccine if you need a shot every 3 months?

Or....men could stop beating and killing women. That would be nice.

Being threatened by someone 6" taller and 75 lbs heavier is scary. Women are beat up by men every day - even army women get raped by their brothers-in-arms - so to say that if women just stand up for themselves, they'll be fine is the height of ignorance. Your hatred of Trudeau/Liberals has made you stupid. As for my neighbor, I did not back down, but doesn't mean I wasn't scared. And me sticking up for myself didn't stop him.

nah, it's Friday I want fish for the Fisherman she'll just have to make me fish, whenever she gets home in the meantime, I'm breaking out the strategic reserve I've found a bottle of Lagavulin 16 $164.95 at the LCBO perfect excuse to crack it open Ready Aye Ready

Gas prices have fallen every day for the last 79 days! Way to go, Biden! And the awesome United States of America is shipping billions of dollars worth of weapons to Ukraine to stop Putin. Trump wouldn’t send Ukraine anything, unless he could get some dirt on Biden in return. No quid pro quo, Ukraine, no ammo. I’m so glad that we have Biden leading the free world in a United boycott against Putin and the armament of Ukraine. Trump attacked NATO and hated democratic leaders like Macron, Trudeau, and Merkel. He liked loser dictators and fascists like Putin and Bolsonaro.

The fact that he tries to mislead & embellish is normal, it's the fact that our MSM waves the pom-poms for his false narratives 100% that bugs me.

If people hate or don't like Trudeau it's likely because of this kind of sh*t that he keeps ramming down our throats. A budget surplus? Well this is the kind of totally useless crap that our precious tax dollars are being spent on.

While Biden is a crook we all know he's too out of it to write his own speeches

we shipped a lot of equipment to them American truckers today down in Missouruh, Texas, Tennesee, and along the I-75 they all want our Canadian made trucker kit that's visors, grills, bumpers, t-bars, slip covers, battery boxes, cabin bunk sets, you name it stainless steel, brushed steel, or aluminum if you want to paint it we got everything done by 1400, so the boss let us go early for the long weekend just chilling in my neighbours swimming pool right now, posting from one of these smart phones drinking some ice cold beers, smoking some government weed the dogs are swimming around me beautiful sunset coming on, the day moon is high in the sky my wife says supper tonight will be Fruits de Mer fish on Friday night, for the Fisherman hold the line happy warriors the protest is a party ?

So you didn't hear about the Republican lead Senate Intelligence committee that concluded Manafort was sharing private polling data with the Russian agent Kilimnik? Of course they needed that info to optimally target their bots and trolls on Facebook. All traced back to the Internet Research Agency; members of which were indicted by Mueller. That was an ILLEGAL foreign government campaign contribution and collusion between Trump's campaign manager and Russians. Tip of the iceberg. Then there was Trump EXPLOITING Russian STOLEN DNC emails for his campaign. All super innocent, right?

I agree with the Dog - the experiment isn't going well and it's now obvious the "effective" part has been blown to bits and now the "safe" part you were sold on is in the process of also being blown to bits, so you lash out at those who refused to be experimented on.

Stop dragging someone’s dead child into your crazy fantasies about vaccines. Give some thought to their families. Real people, not the made up ones that @West claims to know, or your nameless (probably fake…. call me skeptical) coworkers.

Don't feed the trolls. EF even openly admits that he never has anything intelligent to say.

There is some amazing clarity going-on about how the war is going from so many thousands of miles away.

Russia was emboldened to invade Ukraine because when Putin looked around him............................. he saw only poor leaders. Putin simply seized the moment.
