He says...followed by... ...where he moronically contradicts himself in the same breath. It's actually hard to understate how truly and hilariously stupid both of these statements are together. At least now we have an explicit quote from you on the matter, though it's not saying anything we already didn't know. Fortunately for the world, your hopes are fantasy. Sadimir Putin will not have his way.

Great debate. Make no mistake, the US is a wonderful country.

Woke fragility: When you need an emotional support animal every time you don't get your way. Here ya go, Mikey, cry on this ->?

I think in democracy this is called an 'oopsie'. Anyway she was fine and anyone who engages in discussion via photo is betting that an emotional response might overtake an intelligent one. Keep posting those pics if you have nothing else.

I'm not sure you know what anecdotal means if you think that. Maybe they do, maybe they don't. Your personal experience in your own workplace is purely anecdotal however, and not very useful for this debate. There undoubtedly is in many places, and I don't think these are great policies either. The underlying reasoning for these protections (flawed or not) are the disadvantages these groups face. Pretending they don't exist isn't going to end affirmative action and make things more fair for you. Solving the underlying factors might. That's the point. The content in the CV's for these experiments were identical. This phenomenon has been repeatedly studied all over (at least North America). When a racialized black name is on the top of the document, it consistently gets way less interest than when it's an everyday white name, with everything else being equal. That's systemic racism. It's not overt and it's almost impossible to track or monitor. It happens for other things too, like how a female or male might be preferred for certain roles, with CV's being otherwise identical. "John" vs "Jean" will get more call backs based on the role despite there being absolutely no difference in their CVs.

It is unfortunate that Donald "I alone can fix it" Trump FAILED to "fix" ANYTHING.

Goes to show what kinds of idiots were there participating. Not even knowing what was actually going on around them. And here on this forum there are folks that take what they say as real LOL As idiotic as looking at one photo and not knowing what happened before, during or after the photo was taken. Or, looking at a short video and assuming what one person said is the truth even though they did not know what or when or what happened before during or after. NATO exercises??? LOL In downtown Ottawa?? LOL

You’re supposed to ignore me. I know perfectly well what American Citizenship is. It is defined in the 14th Amendment, and I’ve studied Constitutional law. “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” Note that twice it refers to Citizens and thrice it refers to Persons. It makes a clear distinction between the rights of citizens and persons. All people, citizen or not, is entitled to equal protection and due process, illegal immigrant or not. It also says this: “No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.” Men are being convicted at this moment of seditious conspiracy for January 6. Donald Trump gave them aid and comfort. “I love you” is a comforting thing to say, so with the conviction of those individuals, Donald Trump will lose his eligibility to run for President. https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/leader-oath-keepers-and-10-other-individuals-indicted-federal-court-seditious-conspiracy-and

Hey GOP American, it's not 1953 anymore the Red Menace is gone. You can come out from under the bed,,,

So? Straw man much? Are you allowed to condemn 9/11 if you didn’t fight in the war on terror? Are you allowed to speak out against crime if you didn’t join the police? Your arguments are pathetic.

We nearly fried the place over Cuba and you're wondering why the Russkies are taking all this NATO next door stuff hard? Well, good for you....ignorance is indeed bliss.

They won't be nuking Ukraine. If this becomes the World War that the foolish now seek, we will now be the target. And if they launch...we launch. If we launch...they launch. That's how it works. No diplomacy. We also know that the Belgorod is at sea with at least one example of the mysterious last strike weapon, Poseidon. So what's your plan to 'win' this, general?

Stick to merit and character, regardless of race, in educational assessment and hiring. These policies of giving money to black-owned businesses or extra points in a job interview to racialized people is blatant favouritism solely on the basis of race. I now know certain black colleagues who aren’t very good at their jobs but have a sense of entitlement. No one will dare attempt to demote or reassign such personnel. Discrimination is always wrong, no matter who is at the end of it. Of course there are also white people who aren’t very effective at their jobs, but they don’t have the wind at their backs of human rights’ tribunals and accusations of systemic racism. What happens if in your analysis of why certain groups are struggling economically, you find cultural reasons? How far do you want to take that analysis? We hear a lot about systemic racism, but no one likes to point out cultural reasons, as they’re often written off as nothing more than racist stereotypes. So we see in our society a massive inquisition to dismantle systemic racism that doesn’t exist in any policies and we see an attempt to regard honest conversations about cultural differences as racist. I think the only reasonable solution is for governments and organizations to drop EDI programs, reassign “equity and diversity officers” to productive work, and end these discriminatory EDI hiring policies.

They were taken, point by point, in a video interview with Douglas MacGregor. You're not going to like it... https://rumble.com/v1nkkbh-they-want-total-war-with-putin-and-hes-ready-redacted-with-clayton-morris.html The interview starts at about the 38 min mark of the video.

Or, gee, maybe it's because they're better at math. Maybe it's because Asian parents are strict and very closely supervise their children's education, insisting on hard work and high marks. Maybe the absence of such supervision in the single parent families common to most of Canada's Caribbean black population is also a cause. What if the 1st generation is primarily made up of people from African coming in through the skilled worker program while the 3rd generation is mainly made up of the grandchildren of Caribbean blacks who arrived mostly as domestics, or their kids who arrived through family sponsorship. You mean the fact certain minority groups tend to have children out of wedlock without fathers supporting them while others tend to have high marriage rates with parents insistent on education? Or that certain minority groups tend to be disproportionately involved in crime vs other minority groups? Can't imagine why a white guy born and raised in Canada who gets rejected for a position in favour of an immigrant from Somalia who has less qualifications because hand-wringing progressives are feeling guilty about American slavery might be a tad upset.

The fact that you refer to political opponents as "the enemy" just reveals that it is YOU and you ilk, who is the problem.

Okay, here's a summary of Russia's response, a direct result of the bridge explosion. - Most of Ukraine is without electricity. Four main substations were hit, repairs could take months. - Most of Ukraine is without running water. - Critical infrastructure items hit. - The Secret Police of Ukraine building hit, Berkut(SBU). - Analyst cells that developed intel for Ukraine were hit - Hitting Polish forces that were massing in preparation of attacking the annexed land. - 80% of Ukraine's air defenses, NASAM systems, taken out. These precision strikes illustrate that Russia was indeed showing restraint previously, and that there isn't anything going on in Ukraine that Moscow doesn't know about. Also there is nothing they can't hit if they choose to. Colonel Douglas MacGregor, former senior advisor to the Secretary of Defense, was interviewed with the following highlights. For the previous 7 months of this war, Putin has shown restraint as this is another Slavic nation. Russia's ground forces have only had about 20% of their numbers in Ukraine. After the first 4 months, the Ukraine army(which the west built to attack Russia) was largely destroyed. What's defending Ukraine now is a mix of volunteer and militia forces along with some allies such as the Chechens and mercenary groups. But after waiting for the possibility of a negotiated end to the conflict, the Kremlin has concluded that no such end is possible(My view: this may be why they annexed the land under dispute and then lowered the boom on Ukraine after the bridge was blown up). So now we are dealing with a different Russia. 202 missile strikes attacking specific targets all over Ukraine. They have always been able to do this, but refrained until now. Once the ground freezes, there may well be some major Russian offenses to take out what remains of Ukraine's defenders.

I'm sure there's a reason you FAILED to cite ANY source for ^this. And it ain't "the MSM." When "the MSM" fails to report significant "findings," it's because they cannot be verified. Like when the Hunter's laptop story broke in that Murdoch tabloid rag.

unlike the stronk Russian macho-man military, right? ?

I know he's attacking civilian infrastructure. I doubt very much he's hit many anti-missile sites. 7 months into the war and he still hasn't suppressed Ukrainian air defense so that's just fantasy. What are these attacks proving? Nothing. They're just a tantrum from Putin and the warbloggers and nationalists in Russia, trying to do anything they can think of to change the situation. They're losing and it's only going to get worse. Czech students getting blankets means it's all over for Ukraine! ? Only in your little fantasy world bud. Your boy Putin is fully cucked now. The only thing he can do now is bluster and threaten, but the Russian military has proven itself incompetent/incapable beyond even the most optimistic projections. When this is all over and Ukraine is still standing, I'll remember to have a good chuckle at your expense.

Didn’t Arizona hire CyberNinjas, and comb through every single ballot with all their secret machinery, at a cost of millions, only to conclude that Joe Biden won by MORE votes than the official total published?

Civility is certainly not part of your repertoire. Yeah, the last, me and more than a billion others

1. In any serious work you don't start with patting yourself on the back for a great job especially when and if it's obvious (literally and factually) that it's crappy. Minus 1. 2. You do develop a working system of monitoring and auditing the reality - to know it and understand what's going on. What kind of forest, where, the condition, history everything. You can't do even minimally acceptable work if you don't know and cannot know what's going on in reality - not some stupid fairy tale every top manager can sing as a full time job with a juicy quarterly bonus. Minus 2. 3. You do form your objectives and practices that achieve and maintain them openly and publicly that can be audited at any time. Here, the claim and there, the reality. Minus 3. 4. Even if nobody reminded you, you regularly check and verify how the results correspond to the objectives. If they don't you correct your practices immediately. If you protect 30% of forests everyone can see them protected, not just listen to songs. If the rest is renewable, everyone can see them renewed with eyes not the tales. And the conclusion: this is not what you do. You don't like doing that, what makes sense, and the only way that can work. You like singing great Canadian fairy tales. Sure. Like there will be any surprises. Like there can be.

I eventually did get into it. Got addicted. November 13 and Season 5 can't come soon enough.

You don't have any experience or ideas concerning BC's forest industry. Why did you respond to this thread if you're not willing to share your 'master plan' and set everything straight? You've let it be known in earlier threads concerning BC's prime revenue resource, that you want all logging stopped. I only suggest you steer clear of all forestry operations. Do yourself a favor so you are not in the position to endanger yourself and others with your protests.

Not to worry. Christ forgives you. Or rather, everybody does it, and we can never achieve the perfect utopia that the woke left demands. Go to Africa, same thing but in reverse. Hell, go to Yarker and tell them you're from Toronto. The woke left have got it all backwards. They seek to treat the symptoms but not the disease. There is no cure, in fact. As long as it's in our DNA, as long as we have a thing called culture, there will always be a sense of community and conversely otherness. Fear of the stranger is steeped in our very oldest traditions. They may be murderers, and they bring disease.

I personally don't have an issue with people with mental health problems, be whatever you want to be, just don't involve me in your fantasy. No i am not talking about surgical procedures all though it does play a role in younger people. do you think a child as young as 3 or 4 right up to age 18 is capable of making choices like hormone therapy or other treatments? Would you start your son on any of these procedures? there is reasons why we regulate children from certain activates, one is they cannot fully understand it right now, nor are they capable of making wise choices. Good for her, there are many people that are much happier after, but there are also people who regret it. our children should be off limits to any of this. turn 18 and if you still feel that way get er down...

He would have done exactly what he did between November, 2020 and January 6, 2021

Say goodbye to the possibility of ever getting out of donki jail. Farewell. ?

Another conspiracy theory? Just because you can’t afford a plane ticket anywhere don’t assume others can’t.

I'm not so sure. The extreme idiocy, fear and ignorance of the health purists is getting ridonkulous. I look at this lady and you can just "feel" the fear and trauma. This is what the psy-ops has done to people.

OK...how is calling a man..."him"...hurting anyone?

Warped reality. Dick=male.

What we’re seeing is monstrous, and anyone defending these criminals on any side should actually be quaking in their boots. If not outright, shitting, their britches

His affair with Marylin Monroe?

Unless you can point to specific discriminatory policies, you have no right to assume racism is the reason for that pay gap. What did the first generation arrive with and what did they do to improve their circumstances? How skilled, educated, persistent, fluent in English or French, etc. were they? If you want to say that though racist policy isn’t holding back people today but it did generations ago, I agree that the circumstances in which the next generation was born was relatively underprivileged compared to someone who didn’t have that context, but those disproportionalities only tell part of the story. Certainly with every passing decade those impacts diminished. Some people became highly successful in the same context. My grandfather remembered as a teenager seeing signs in windows refusing employment to Catholics. Canadians whose ancestors fled the American Revolution lost property in America. How long do you hold the past responsible for present circumstances? Some would say that the Indigenous are Canada’s most favoured group in terms of free higher education, not having to pay taxes, etc. Residential schools had many problems and there have been government payouts. I don’t see value in trying to get reparations from today’s taxpayers for injustices committed by people who are long gone, unless it’s a specific act traceable to an existing institution, but even that has limitations. Applying new forms of discrimination to counter old ones just creates more discrimination.

Shout out to Infidel Dog, DogOnPorch, Goddess, zeitgeist, Sharkman, West, Nationalist, oftenwrong, shady, accountability now, Dougie93, yzermandius, ArmyGuy, QuebecOverCanada, cougar, taxme, Nefarious Banana, ironstone, TSS, taxesanddeath, Winston, faramir, nexii and all the others here who join in positive dialogue about covid, the shots, and/or the legitimacy of the mandates. The amount of lies and propaganda in the MSM has been soul-crushing, and it has been amazing to have a place to exchange ideas and info with people who aren't insane. I feel like we were gaslighted almost to death over the last 2.5 years and I'd probably have gone crazy by now without all of you guys. After looking back over the covid threads I just wish I spent more time talking to the people I agree with and less time arguing with the people who just toe the party line. I guess I shouldn't be so harsh on people who believe something that they see echoed by CTV, CBC, CNN, the POTUS, our PM, Fauci, Dr Tam, The WHO, everyone who is beholden to Big Pharma for a paycheque or a research grant, and "science" itself lol. I'm gonna spend less time focusing on covid and more time building a bunker now ?

You live on the wrong side of history just running your mouth and then you talk about other people being small lol.

That's your answer? Oh dear oh dear...ummm...do yourself a favour and hold you mommy's hand when crossing the street. Just a piece of friendly advice.

I don't have to ask, but the person wants you to name one policy or law that we have currently have that is racist, designed benefit white people only. I say that becasue in the past there was defiantly examples of systematic racism. And perhaps we have learned from the past and have corrected those mistakes.

Exactly. IOW "I'm looking for a fight please..."

Residential schools? In 2022? What a poor factless argument. You are someone who Google's and takes the top hit as your answer with no depth or context or investigation. " Google told me so...." What percentage of the population today in 2022 can claim residential schools impact their life today? Let's talk 2022. Let's use data. Where is the data to show disparity that can be attributed to systemic Racism? Stats please. History is history.

I can't argue that Alberta Conservatives weren't getting complacent but any province that goes full-on NDP is going to suffer. We learned that the hard way here in Ontario with Bob Rae.

Danielle smith is a real Conservative imo she is not watered down like most UCP.

I thought the Alberta NDP experiment was a disaster to put it mildly. Anything is possible but hopefully Albertans will never make the same mistake twice and put in the socialists again.

So it didn’t exist when the Conservatives formed government? Example? Conspiracy stuff.

1... No company or organization should be run by flow charts alone, it leaves behind those with the education and experience that can and does save lives. The government needs to stay out of basic military matters, and its interference only complicates things a million times over. 2. Our basic combat boot replicated the Kodiac work boot, with the thin sole and v pattern tread, the ones that we used to Bumper shine cars as a kid. Soldiers would pay to have those boots resoled, with vibram soles, but yes changing anything in the military is very complicated, EXFLYER worked in Ottawa, and he does not paint a pretty picture, it is designed that way to make purchasing almost impossible. Political requirements such as creating jobs, off sets, etc, take priority over military needs and wants. Today soldiers are paid to purchase their own boots or given a choice of several types, much better than when i joined. when we used to purchase more than 1/2 our equipment becasue the issued stuff just sucked, Afghanistan most purchased American plate carriers and tac vests as ours only held 5, 30 round magazines, politicians had said we did not need more than 5 mags, troops normally carried 10 or more mags on extended ops way more than that. 3. Yes recruits do not get a very good wage, but in 4 years' time and a lot of training they will be making 65 k a year or more. Not many people join the military to get rich, it is more of serving your nation, working alongside the best Canadians this country has to offer, who would risk and give their life for you or anyone in uniform. that and you get to do all the cool stuff, fly in helicopters at tree top level, blow stuff up, fire weapons one could only dream off, drive most military machines form IFV to Tanks, get to do domestic ops (helping Canadians during tough times) and also help people from other nations that need a helping hand. The money is nice but i think for me it played a secondary role. 4. When i retired i went to dozens of job interviews, even had a professional resume writer do my resume up. One guy asked me why the military guys were always yelling at people, he seen to many movies, they thought most of my resume was fake becasue of the qualifications i had, hundreds of troops multimillion of dollars' worth of equipment, i got more your overqualified than anything. all i wanted was a relaxed in a no responsibility job, where no one reported to me. I got alot of negative feedback about sorry we don't hire military guys, or you guys are too rigid. or the best one was what did you do in the army, i would have to lie becasue killing bad guys was not an acceptable answer, more like i was a clerk or logistic guy.
