Socialism covers a huge range. CPP, OAS, medicare and in the US, Social Security and Medicaid are all socialism. I think most people would agree that extremes, whether it is socialism or libertarianism are not desirable.

You know nothing of which you speak and it shows with your every post. You are not worth the effort to rebuke your childish grasp of BC's forestry industry.

That’s untrue. The Americans got their Covid shots free and sooner than Canadians. Our Canadian healthcare generosity story is pretty exaggerated.

How was that different from the US?

Is there anything worth discussing in this little rant? You don't like him but you posted when his show is on in Toronto and BC and how to listen ? Ok then...

Good post and insight . . . . but, I think this will be the demise of Jagmeet Singh, and the Federal NDP. There's just no difference between the Liberals and Singh's party now, and many NDP voters are dealing with the consequences of the one-track policy (climate change) of Justin Trudeau . . . death of the petroleum industry, lack of investor confidence in Canada, food/fertilizer cut-backs, devalued $$, the list is long, and Jagmeet Singh is instrumental in the implementation of such.

Thus I think Singh will want to cut ties right away with the Liberals. He's most likely to create another red-line demand to give him that opportunity. He's gunning for the progressives who are disillusioned with Trudeau. Though NDP will not become the government, I think Singh is hoping to regain what Layton had.

will be decided tonight in few hours looking like danielle smith's to lose . discuss

Evan Solomon is moving on to other pastures. For the past few years he has been insidiously pumping the federal Liberal party, by taking any public issues, and explaining away that whatever the Liberals are doing , if the best that can be achieved in the circumstances. At the same time he seizes with relish upon even the slightest radical pronouncement of any socially Conservative backbencher and trumpets into a) it must be party policy and representative of all. Or b) how outrageous it is that the party leader doesn't immediately throw them out of the party. Sick and tired of this Liberal shill. In case you don't know the dribble that he spouts over the airwaves (iheart / Bell talk radio network) in Toronto 9 - 11 am. is pumped out at Noon in BC. and we can't even phone it because it's not live any more. Thank goodness this JT fanboy is gone !

You people are perfectly capable of gaslighting yourselves all on your own.

NO ONE prior to Trump tried to use violent mobs to overturn an election for POTUS. Duh.

Join me in spreading this cartoon from 1948 which shows how much DEMOCRATS have strayed from the middle path and are now just like Dr. Utopia. Republicans are essentially the same now as we were then. Make Mine Freedom (9:27)

You know nothing. Stop proving it.

I guess if it didn't happen in your lifetime it didn't happen then. Prog logic, I guess. An Essay at Watts using data from HERE disagrees.

Trying to create a "Tainted Timber Scandal" are you? See those lines, they are the roads into the cuts, the roads are like 10 ft wide. So the clearings are not very big, they're in umpteen stages of regrowth and replanting and the shot was framed to make it look worse. Fly over the province you'll see lots of scarring - all in various shades of green. The typical anti-logging clear cut photo always shows somewhere freshly logged and lacks scale so it seems worse than it is. And if only if you completely ignore the areas of standing timber can you consider it a 'clear cut' at all. Get off your butt and look and you'd see how it used to be - huge areas all logged at once now in stages of regrowth. I've already pointed out that burning standing wood is not green, but burning waste without producing anything from it is a total loss. Forestry practices in BC are evolving and improving but there's quite away to go yet involving improved sustainability, biodiversity, native involvement and appurtenance, land stability etc. Do you have a clue about how fast the forest regrows? Like how every year after the melt, when I mow my lawn for the first time I cut hundreds of saplings popping out of my city lot's lawn? How those replanted cuts had to be cut back as they threaten the power lines after only 25 years? That the 1,000 tear old trees are few and they're protected?

MSM has been reporting the importance of HIMARS for some time. But of course you wouldn't know that.

It is SO gratifying to have thinking people who love freedom posting here! "Even if you get past all the basic bitches with things like wind and solar there's China and India. If they're not on board you're doing nothing but helping them take over your economy." Absolutely right.

This fantastic? I can sign on or very close because this very much the picture anyone with clear eyes and clear mind can observe daily approaching Vancouver on air. If you don't it's not a problem with the objective reality, no. It's how you see, what you don't see and how you don't think about anything that wouldn't fit the story.

I'm trying to better understand how your kind seems to continue your political viability without benefit of the facts, truth or substantiation. I think my arguments could gain greater popularity if I learned to be a more accomplished liar. The difficult part is trying to pretend to be a dim wit in order to actually believe untrue and evil messages and talking points from the higher ups. Aside from being born blessed with better mental horsepower, which I cant take credit for, this exercise in trying to replicate your side's numbskulling ability to appeal to the average citizen is made even more difficult for me because Trump, MAGA and the GOP are more honest and deal with facts and reality far more than your side. So, posting without evidence is as close as I can get to emulating you. Maybe I should do more posting while imbibing. ? Thanks for thinking about how I can better beat your arguments. ?

The fire dept is socialism. Public ownership for the benefit of all, exactly what your definition says. If you like fire dept socialism but not health care socialism that's simply your subjective bias, but they are the same. If you want private fire dept that's totally possible. Call up a company to put out your fire for you for a fee.

The big problem with mitigation is it doesn't work. It doesn't achieve the results you're hoping for. Even if you get past all the basic bitches with things like wind and solar there's China and India. If they're not on board you're doing nothing but helping them take over your economy.

Of course he did. You have been PUNK'D by the evil lying media. And you are like a human puppet which gets a thrill by having their hand up your backside. And you go to bed at night dreaming of the thrill that comes from tilting at a giant of GREATNESS like D.J. Trump. ?

Give it up myata, you could not be anymore wrong, mislead and, uninformed. You picked a topic that you clearly have no understanding of. You do not know what you are talking about let alone defending. Everyone here has told you that you re clueless about the lumber/timber industry about logging so suck it up and appreciate that we have taught you something. FYI, I am from BC, the lower mainland. From Vancouver and the mountains and areas up the Fraser Valley look fantastic. Lived on Vancouver Island for 12 years. Flew all over BC in a helicopter for a dozen years. I know what un-logged areas look like and I know what re forested areas look like. I can assure you , the forests are living well. Arguing with me is fruitless, I actually know the truth.sad you cannot comprehend it. You too quickly drink the koolaid and swallow it before you learn anything

Nuthin' to see there, hey robo? Why did you even post that? TBH it was 100% legit though. They won a lottery. It was called the "#%^^ *2(*% ##@^* ))!!!". If you can't read Mandarin, that says"VP Payoff Scratch and Win."

From Day One, Trump never ever said he would concede the election if he lost. He was asked many times and he never said he would abide by the peaceful transition of power. Staying in power at all costs was his goal from the start.

The point is you can't blame Trump and the Republicans for driving up CO2 to kill the planet (which is the way I believe your global warming theory goes) if CO2 reached record lows under Trump's watch. So let's move on to the next "major problem" Rebound wants to blame Trump and the Republicans for. How about "abortion bans" then? Not sure how that's a "major problem." Not even sure we can call abortion banned. It's become more inconvenient in some states. And I'll never understand how saving as many babies lives as possible is a "major problem." Some women can't afford to get to a different state to kill their babies now and that's a "major problem," is it.? You're going to have a real hard problem convincing me and mine of that one.

BTW...The USA just bought up a ton of anti-radiation drugs. The Russian government just ratified eastern region of former Ukraine as Russian. American military is INSIDE Ukraine. When asked about it by reporters, Biden walks away. Russia launches massive strike in "New Russia" including air strikes. The EU is training thousands of Ukrainian soldiers. And Zelinski calls for NATO to attack inside Russia. The spiral to holocaust continues...and the twits who egg this on...may get exactly what they've been begging for. All over a land NATO wants nothing to do with. Idiots!

BTW if you click that link you'll see it's from 2018. The Covid Kung Flu hit in 2019.

The pandemic and the switch to Natural gas from coal. Whatever, if you are trying to sell what you call "Climate Change" as a major problem you can't blame Trump. CO2 decreased under Trump's watch.

CBC Marketplace just aired a story on the Drax controversy tonight. Now I'm not going to get into a BS 'leftist bias' about CBC as every single rep from the BC gov't did duck, hide and refuse interviews on the subject. That only left info from the activists, the Green party and a couple disgruntled politicians. They too failed to differentiate the difference between a cutblock and 'the forest'. Or point out the cut sections seen from the air as regrowing cuts from God knows when over the last 75 years. Only the "clear cut" by a Drax subcontractor that looks big through a camera lens. They did acknowledge a couple things that piss me off. One, they'd left a huge burn pile of wood, the very thinh they purport to 'only' use to make pellets. And spoke that this was done "last year" as if that was a long time. Replanting isn't done three minutes after cutting the trees, the piles were probably just made this summer. Second, although burning the slash and scrap wood here to make electricity is undoubtedly better than just burning it and getting nothing but CO2 is greener, but.... I completely fail to see just how cutting down trees here, shipping pellets halfway around the world to keep CO2 emitting plants running is green in any way. It reminds me of the Carbon Credits and capture BS that only creates a new marketable product or sweeps carbon under the rug and does nothing in real results. The entire thing is a way to scam the British (and others) gov't out of subsidies just like I explained happened here. Tax money gobbled up, electricity made, but all for greenwashing local mills and a handful of temporary jobs. We should impose more regulations like take that scrap away even if it is unprofitable etc. before we even think of expanding the pellet industry. And local wood to local plants only (APPURTENANCE) imposed first. Pellet stoves are quite popular here in that they're cleaner and easier to use than wood stoves (lots of those about), cheaper to insure but far more expensive to run. And not one bit cleaner or greener than the old sawdust furnace that ran our home in Vancouver in 1958. Wood heat is banned in most cities as it the smoke is a health hazard.

Inflation caused by Trump's vast money supply increases is STILL affecting the economy even though it was MASKED by the pandemic's reduction in the velocity of money Just because you DON'T UNDERSTAND, does NOT make the reasoning a "pathetic attempt." You are NOT objective about Trump. It DOESN'T. The Fed is now fighting inflation with higher interest rates. Unfortunately that is the ONLY tool in their toolbox. Biden didn't "screw up," he took NECESSARY STEPS to get the economy back on track after Trump's INCOMPETENT management of the pandemic. AKA, pretending it "go away" or "disappear in the spring." There are so many examples I started a LONG THREAD about them at a different site. IT doesn't matter. If someone is not looking for a job, they obviously either don't need, or want one. It's often called RETIREMENT.

And apology for what? For calling BS on this? I'm still waiting to see the link from The Heritage Foundation saying Donald Trump was the "number one cause" of inflation. Anytime you're ready then...

Not just caused but are causing. That would go The Federal Reserve, You Forgot Obama, Biden and The Pandemic.

CRTC is the regulatory arm of the LPOC. CBC is the propaganda arm of the LPOC. CRTC constantly seeks to reduce competition and reinforce monopolies in the name of “Canadian Content”. It just makes everything more expensive and there’s no longer a need to protect Canadian content except in minor ways such as the Canada Arts Council. DJ’s get shut down for saying controversial things in Canada. Newspapers are heavily funded by the Liberal government as well. Free press? It’s really gotten obvious. If the bills regulating internet content go through, it will get even worse. Iron curtain stuff.

We will fix this. We have to. So do the Americans.

I'm in the failed experiment side. I don't buy into the Scandanavian angle that is always pushed by the leftists either. Those countries are capitalist that happen to have very generous social programs. It goes by different names but at the end of the day it has never worked out for the people. Now it's a disgusting cocktail of socialism/communism/woke ideology that is poisoning western society.

Likeability in politics is half the test. Competence is the other half. Your ilk might score a 75 on likeability. But a 25 on competence. Republicans might score 85 on competence and 60 on likeability. 145 MAGA 100 Dems We all see how unimportant likeability is when we look at the sh*t hole Jokama has us in, and it hasn't even gotten bad yet. You will be crying and praying for Trump before very long.

Good God, you can't prove forests are replanted just by saying so on paper - says the person who's never been in a room full of stinky unwashed tree planters waiting to use the showers.... Give up your tirade of bullshit about 99.9% destroyed and your Winnie The Pooh notion that 100 acres even is a 'forest'... you can drive for hours through nothing but; no towns, no farms, no gas stations. You can't even drive to most of the coastal forest in BC! SIMPLE economics for simple people: why the hell would you sell a log to a pellet plant if a sawmill would pay double or more? EDIT I went to my niece's wedding in Newfoundland in 2014 and the wife and I walked to where people were smoking - one of them pointed and said "I know you you ran the Internet cafe in...". The other end of the damn country FFS. Half a dozen young people who'd tree planted here.

I'm tired of Progressives trying to sell their "Fact Checkers" as evidence. They're not. And here are my cites for that which are every bit as valid as a Prog's opinion labeled as a "fact check." https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/invasion-fact-checkers https://noqreport.com/2022/02/09/how-fact-checking-is-controlled-and-faked/ The Southern Strategy was a made up conspiracy by a Progressive plant in the Nixon administration who went on to his more rightful occupation as a writer in Progressive journals. The phony bugaboo of a Southern Strategy was adopted and enlarged on by the sort of "experts" progressive "fact checkers" might approve of.

Public Enemy - Shut 'Em Down

Mainstream Media likes to paint the picture that it will be conservatives that riot if the election doesn't go their way. Last I checked, it's in Dem run strongholds that they board up windows to businesses during close elections.Last I checked, it was lefty loonies threatening court justices they don't agree with. Last I checked, it was the same lefty loonies burning down federal court houses. My prediction is that this country has had enough of the radical left with their lawlessness, and divisive rhetoric. They have had enough of these spoiled children on the far left demanding special treatment. They have had enough of the calling for defunding of police, the failures to prosecute criminals, and the attempts to let violent felons out of prison. Most Americans want safe streets, more police, and less crime, and they are going to vote like it this November. Mainstream media wants you to think abortion is first and foremost on people's minds when that is so far down the list. Economy, inflation, crime, a say in our kids education, protecting our borders-ALL of those things are most important, and you will see that this November on election night. #RedWave incoming!

Is it your contention that everything stated in that article is false? We really don't hear too much about other Biden family members and their generous silver platter business deals. Hunter is the exception but it's primarily FOX News and of course the rest of the MSM cover for him. I suppose that's likely because Hunter is not discreet about his lifestyle and business dealings and the other family members don't appear to be junkies. House Democrats Block Investigation of Hunter Biden’s Business Deals (dailysignal.com) Not for a second would I suggest that only members of one party engage in this type of activity, it likely happens all too often on both sides of the aisle and we only see the tip of the iceberg. They should all be under scrutiny and justice should be applied equally if warranted. The Democrats seem to be pretty well insulated from any kind of real scrutiny.

My bad. I should have stated "Biden family business". And how they are doing it. How five members of Joe Biden’s family got rich through his connections (nypost.com)

Ya, okay. I took 2 and half years off work and travelled the world. But, ya......non-travelling, uninformed person here. You're a joke.

Now how many nations of that time acted better than we did? How many acted way, way worse? Anyone who feels guilty over something they haven't done and wants to apologize for it to people who didn't even suffer the harm or damage is a fool.

Could you get any more petty with your anti_Trudeau BS?

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

nobody has done more damage to the Liberals than JT he's ignited a backlash in Canada like I've never seen before even the young are fleeing the Liberals to the Conservatives

Republicans certainly have come around to it the Truckers of course, are heroic figures Jordan Peterson is the Marshall McLuhan of his age Gad Saad, David Freiheit, Ezra Levant, all getting lots of play in America now you can make a career in America being a Canadian conservative all of a sudden
