I don't give a hoot about Q. I love America. Trump is what is best for America.

You are absolutely right. There is no way in hell Trump is going to allow himself to be questioned under oath. The man can't string three sentences together without lying at least twice. He can't afford to be questioned under oath.

Myata does not comprehend that logs is just a generic word. There aren't any Old Growth Ancient Holy poplars or tree limbs or sawdust. Maybe volunteer to come put out the fires we get here when the leftover sawdust from the gyppo mill that closed 30 years ago spontaneously ignites every so often. Understand the biomass plant they built took much longer clearing it all and went way over budget to get the foundation on actual ground at the other one closed 25 years ago. But she did point out one thing: that biomass used up shitloads of grant money, supplied power only to the mills -they never even considered backfeeding to the town itself - , 99% of the original workers were from Spain, when it did startup hired only a few locals and shut down after a year when the feed supply (read that as grant money) ran out. Eventually sold to a conglomerate with the local Band's grant money and no one doubts will shut down again the minute that runs out. You can drive 1 mile out of town and for the next 50 past piles of wood scrap, stumps, broken trees bulldozed into piles and set on fire every winter and that fuel fully wasted. Not turned into pellets, not burned at the bio-mass plant.

You don't know what you're talking about. Low quality logs are chipped for the pulp mills, and used for pellets, etc. Was a logger for 43 years . . . . betting you couldn't tell the difference between hemlock and a ham sandwich.

Past Prime Ministers have done something for the country. Trudeau has done something to the country.

And the CBC. Trudeau has proven himself to be an embarrassment to Canada, and moreover, the chief assassin of our stability as a nation. I don't think we can wait three years before he is replaced, we need to move him on sooner.

God was invented by MAN. There is NO EVIDENCE proving the contrary. You don't even understand WHY man invented god despite being told a reasonable explanation which you've not even addressed let alone refuted.

The report doesn't mention why they use the wood pellets. Mixing those in actually reduces the CO2 and pollutants from coal burning plants. Enough to meet the standards there, but diddly squat compared to overall world-wide coal emissions. And "primary forests" simply means where it is most commercially feasible to perform forestry operations. I live there. Pellets are made from sawmill scrap, forest waste and logs not best suited for lumber. So some Old Growth" content might be included. No one cuts down evergreen timber just to make pellets. We do live in a market economy so if the sawmill isn't buying and a pellet plant is that's life. The tree's already cut down. Doesn't happen a lot and not for really good logs. And what's the author's alternative? Stop using the pellets and increase their CO2 output in those coal plants?

Coastal Douglas fir 'old growth' is being protected more and more these days. Some 2nd growth fir is 5+ feet in diameter at the stump. Many folks mistake this as 'old growth' . . . There is nothing wrong with harvesting mixed species cut blocks (logging areas) and getting the value-added bonus from low grade timber in the form of pulp, and pellets, etc. The article is extremely misleading and designed to trigger folks with no knowledge of Canadian (BC) logging sustainability and renewal. It would take pages to lay out the mistakes and deception in the article to folks that know little/nothing about Canada's forest industry.

No, I'll probably go check my crab pot and jig up a cod.

Another reply with nothing but silly insults? Dude, how pathetic.

That's why he took the fifth 400+ times in a recent deposition, DESPITE the fact that can be taken as an adverse inference in that civil lawsuit.

Calling a notorious liar a liar, is truth, not libel. Easy to prove Trump is a liar. And BIG.

The quickest and easiest route to peace is for Putin to call off his invasion and bring his troops home. They could all be back in Russia in a matter of hours. Anyone who demands anything different are the ones with war lust. That includes you, war monger

Could you get any more petty with your anti_Trudeau BS?

The reality that you are the universe is within you and all you need to do is realize it. There's nothing supernatural or mystical about it. .

All you have to do is find a legitimate source. IF you CAN.

You've been suckered by ANOTHER Trump money grift. He knows his CULT will send him money cause they're stupid enough to believe his BS. This will disappear well before discovery, but AFTER he's used it to raise $Ms from the suckers. Trump is a conman, and you've been conned.

Western politicians are so subservient and cowardly towards China that it takes a fascist to finally have the balls to stand up to them.

Nope. You just can't read apparently. I said "basically 100%", which is to say that the polio vaccine isn't 100% effective, but it's very close to it. Contrast that with a covid "vaccination" death rate that matches that of the unvaccinated. One of those things is a vaccine. One of those things is definitely not a vaccine. I'll leave you to guess which is which. They don't actually say "flu vaccine" in Canada, they say "flu shot". At least in that instance they don't play pretend. With vaccines that work at 80%, it's enough to provide herd immunity. That's not enough to "vaccinate" an individual, per se, but it's enough to stop the spread within a community, which works almost as well at preventing anyone from getting it. See the charts below. Note the difference in the number of deaths between May 1 and Aug 21. You'll see that 88% of the deaths that occurred between those dates were among the dbl-vaxed, triple-vaxed and quadruple-vaxed. Thanks you Lancet, for doing this: FYI that is not a statistic, it is a projection based upon their estimates, which is based upon lab results. You're the one who's calling "gossip" stats. The number of actual people who were fully vaxed and died, compared to the number of actual people who were unvaxed and died, within the exact same country under the exact same conditions, is the statistic that trumps all others. Especially those derived through models which are basic solely on the expectations of the people who are promoting the pseudovax. I personally don't care what the Lancet "predicts". The Lancet is the same mag that had to retract their bogus HCQ "study" or whatever they called it. FWIW I don't care if HCQ works or not, the lies that were told about it by vax-pushers were completely outrageous. I never saw a group of people so hopeful that a cost effective treatment wouldn't work. It's weird. Stop equating groping with rape. There are women who don't mind being groped, sorry to say, and they're not hard to spot. At least one senator too, apparently. I've been married since '05. I don't have any need or desire to grope bubbleheads. You made an idiotic comment to the effect that "fair outcomes" are at an all-time high, and "privileged people are upset" blah, blah, blah. Fair outcomes nosedived in 2015. The basic safety of Americans started dropping in 2015. It's just a fact, and the people affected the most by rioting and violent crime are the ones in poorer neighbourhoods. Crime isn't spiking in Pelosiville. I just disproved that BS in my earlier post. America peaked at some point before 2015. Back when politicians didn't cheer for riots, and when media outlets didn't lie to keep them going. Wahh, wahh, waah, no one gives a crap about what you think. We're grounded in reality here. Or at least I'll speak for those of us who are. Merits? The only things that you're good at are getting sucked in by propaganda and regurgitating said propaganda from what I can see. Hint: When you look at the charts below, don't get hung up on the fact that the unvaxed deaths seem so much higher: 1) They started counting on the very first day that anyone in Canada received their first shot, so there were zero fully 'protected' people for several months, and 100% of Canadians were unvaxed on the first day. 2) That data set starts in the middle of a flu season, and covid deaths follow the flu season trends. Basically 100% of Canadians were unvaxed for the first 3 months of the data set, which is the middle-to-end of the 2020/'21 flu season. Fully vaxed people only existed during the 2021/22 flu season. 3) If you add the dbl-, triple- and quadruple-jabbed deaths, they're approaching equality with the unvaxed now. 9,100 vs 10,600. Cheers Hodad ?

Whatever you need to tell yourself in order to rationalize your support for Nazis.

No doubt you do, Putin lickspittle that you are. The problem is that you can't form a coherent explanation for that, beyond a balogna Kremlin narrative about NATO "encroachment" and made-up NATO promises that Gorbachev discredited years ago. After 15-20 years of Russian military adventurism and border-redrawing, it's fascinating that you somehow can't understand why small neighbor states would feel threatened and want assurances of protection. buuut whaaaatabout HUnter Biiiiden! ?

The wood is used. You don't know what you're talking about. Pulp/paper, cardboard, pellets, bark/debris burned as fuel for pulp mills, etc. Do you think forestry workers just spend huge amounts for machinery, wages, fuel, time, etc. just so they can "raze entire forests" without a use for the wood and compensation for their time and labour? Think of the forestry workers every time you reach for the toilet paper.

Eh, he's a shitty person and a shittier president. Haberman is right on the money: he's a two-bit conman concerned only with his own self interest. His election is one that will baffle future historians.

I really don't care about your war. I do note, however, that you're not fighting it. Content to let others do the killing and dying.

88% you say? This is what is called a specious argument. It's meant to appear reasonable and to fool folks who aren't paying attention. Someone may have gotten one over on you. I suspect you're tapped into some bad media. To explain, as vaccination rates increase, obviously any outcome, good or ill, will befall the vaccinated to a higher degree. If Canada were 100% vaccinated then 100% of COVID deaths would be among the vaccinated. I think the reality is closer to 90% vaccination among adults. But at any rate that's a statistic meant to mislead. Science is certainly not a "monster" and vaccination has saved countless lives. And it is plainly and factually incorrect to claim that the COVID vaccines are not vaccines. Again, I can only assume you've tapped into some garbage media and have chosen to believe those claims over those of every medical body in the world. I'd suggest looking to authoritative sources. I gave up on the idea that politicians were meant to be role models a long time ago. And in the US our former president demeaned women, boasted about sexually assaulting women, cheated on all 3 of his wives, paid for sex with porn stars, stole from his own charity and ran a scam education program--and the religious right flocked to him in droves. So yeah, some state senator doing a goofy dance on the beach is honestly the least of my worries when it comes to moral public service. Are you familiar with the philosopher John Rawls? He advanced a theory of justice, that is very influential, the cornerstone of which is a thought experiment called the "veil of ignorance." It asks you to imagine that you will be born into the world without knowing anything of your circumstance-- your sex, your gender, your sexuality, your class, your race, your location, your religion etc. are all unknown. How then would you design a society and legal structure? I bring it up because though our world is far from perfect, it is certainly not in decline. Put yourself in that experiment and try to imagine any point in history in which you would have a better, fairer shot at a happy life. It doesn't exist. There is no point in history in which you can shake up all those random variables and be assured of a better, fairer outcome. Society is not collapsing, nor is it in decline. But there are certain privileged and entitled groups that feel pretty angry about the idea of a fairer world.

The US did threaten their use.

I see. So now Ukraine is NOT a NATO nation and is just a buffer zone. LOL...the mental gymnastics you lyin' buggers do is so pathetic.

Not to my knowledge. You know...since the Cold War ended. The US and Russia even worked TOGETHER to defeat ISIS in Syria.

Oh, the whining and rioting the Dems will unleash! A real rain is scheduled in 33 days.

One month to the mid-terms. One month to justice. One month before Biden gets put on a leash. Tick...tick...tick...

1 month to the mid-terms Tweenkies. Tick...tick...tick...

the Liberals have erased your country and replaced it with their Post National State hot going to happen, it has already happened only a tiny fringe element actually defends & upholds your monarchy the vast majority of Canadians are fully Americanized republicans who draw their ideologies from America you even invoke the "globalist elite" that doesn't originate in Canada that is an America First Republican ideology

Moonshine believes only he is smart and the rest of ya aren't.. he reads the CBC and attended a gender studies class once so he knows all the pronouns

Well sure but it's not like we're hoping for it. The theists OTOH will have you believe our world is transitory to the point where it really doesn't matter given God has made us another world up in heaven - where we'll persist for eternity. I can't think of anything that would make it easier to ignore climate change. Hell, the more hard-boiled Christians can't seem to wait for the End. Pat Robertson says heaven will be just like Sunday School except it'll last forever. I can't imagine a worse fate myself.

IMO the big difference is, these mad fckers wanna rush to nuclear war over a NATO reject.

Were Jesus and Mary looking down when Putin had all those people thrown out of high rise windows, can you answer that?

Minimizing Trump's crimes is far more serious. You know he tried to COERCE changing the vote count in GA on tape by threatening the SoS, don't you?

Amen! And you are right. Any attempts to minimize those crimes demonstrates exactly how banana republics come to be, one would guess.

Well for one we signed on to abide by the rule of law, international law, which states clearly that what Russia did was illegal, you cannot just invade another country without just cause. So, it is everyone's business when one or several nations decide it only applies when they want it to. Russia is a full member of the UN and should be setting an example, instead of flagrantly breaking it when it is convenient for them, and they are getting called out on it. And if that ends in the total destruction of the planet now or later so, be it. The law is for everyone not just a selected few.

Approximately six million Canadians cannot afford dental care, out of a population of 37,000,000 you can do the math, it is a small group of people. How many Canadians Cannot afford dental care? - AdvertisingRow.com | Home of Advertising Professionals, Advertising news, Infographics, Job offers Not sure what getting a decent job even means, MacDonalds has a dental plan and that's minimum wage... No, Dental care is not part of Health care as it stands right now, once again what is it you don't understand about, before we create any new social programs maybe we should fix the ones we got. Or are you just collecting social programs. Have you been to the dentist lately, the average cost of braces for a teenager is between 3 to 10 k, shit a filling can cost anywhere from 175 to 375 per tooth. Just how far do you think 650.00 yearly is going to go. If you cater to everyone wishes and needs the country would be bankrupt in weeks. That is the problem with the left they think money grows on trees. Today's liberals have spent more than any other government in our history when are we going to stop the bottom of the pit is almost here. And it is not a conservative line, it is basic money Mangement, do you spend more than you make, then why are we so comfortable with our government doing it. How long do you think it is going to take to whittle down this liberal deficit, 10 years, 50 years, or generations. Let's be reminded it was the liberals that purchased those shitbox subs in order to save a few dollars, that decision cost the lives of Canadian service members, in a fire... so let's not throw around too much shit there is enough to go around for all sides.

Chamberlain was PM in 1939. Churchill wasn't asked to form the government until the day of the invasion of France & the Lowlands. That would be May 10th, 1940. Case Yellow as the Krauts called it. Fall Gelb...

This kind of reach into Canada from China has been going on for decades. Where have you been hiding? Many politicians have also known about these things for years but are powerless in the shadow of the Trudeau cult. Ever heard of the virology lab fiasco in Winnipeg where the Conservatives have been trying to obtain the documents explaining why two Chinese lab scientists were working there and suddenly they were removed by the RCMP and sent back to China?

Click the 3 buttons on the top right side of the post.

And to be EXTRA fair... some posters from the influx of glue sniffers we have since during the pandemic are picking up their game. I'll be generous and leave everyone unnamed...

I have a pretty strong suspicion the only reason you post on here is to be contrary. Maybe you should try reading the article in the introduction. NO point in wasting time with you. "The only real shock is just how brazen China appears to be in setting up physical police stations. But, then again, why wouldn’t it when our federal government, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service and various levels of law enforcement consistently fail to address China’s aggression in any meaningful way?" - Sabrina Maddeaux: How hard can it be for the Liberals to say Chinese laws don’t apply in Canada?

Logging is a sustainable/renewable resource in BC. Drax report: Misinformation at its finest. Triggers the uninformed.

I don't label myself as "conservative", even if some of my views are conservative. I'm not on a "team" and therefore don't have to defend the regressives. Progressives are destroying this country through their own self-hatred and guilt. If you take this personally i don't apologize, you need to own this failure. Thanks to leftwing governments I didn't learn too much about the history or political systems of this country by the time i graduated high school and had to later educate myself. Prove me wrong by naming Canada's 2nd Prime Minister without looking it up. I'm sure the # of people on this forum who can answer this question is zero or close to it. How many Canadians know the significance of the Statue of Westminster 1931, or the Royal Proclamation of 1763? Also, i don't take criticism of Canada personally, the Canadian government has obviously made many mistakes like any country, but i'm not ashamed of our country or our history in general. I'm not going to call myself a Canadian and hang my head, I'm proud to live in this country. Some on the left even want to cancel Canada Day, they are fools.

Oh, you mean like Trump did. Oh you mean like Trump did.
