I wish the Canadian Parliament was in Alberta. Canada is currently run by Laurention elites who are generally Marxist-nihilists who nevertheless overlook Québécois ethno-nationalism because it reminds them of their childhoods under the language fascists in Quebec. They’re a strange political class. If it wasn’t for Republican American influence, the exceptionalism of Great Britain, and some pushback from Alberta, these Liberal elites would’ve turned Canada over to the UN and China years ago. The painting of Canada as colonial and white supremacist is a concoction of the Liberal-NDP entrenched de facto one party system in Canada.

What vaccination status? If she has her way you could wind up in an Alberta hospital and get Hepatitis or some other disease from an unvaccinated health care worker. She's a loon.

Canada has been reduced to being the ultimate fun police anything that is fun & fancy free Canada feels the need to ban it then crush any who defy that order under the jackboots of Prussian martial law no bouncy castles, no Halloween revellers will be subject to arrest without further notice

I certainly enjoyed All Hallows Eve as a boy the streets of Toronto teeming with kids, we spilled out into the neighbourhoods and took control of the streets for one night a year, we could run amok and get up to all sorts of mischief we'd meet in the parks, mingling together, all ages, no adults in charge nor even around my costume was always a Ring Wraith from Tolkien the Witch King of Angmar, Lord of the Nazgul I even had a real sword, a ceremonial long sword from my father's collection of trophies when any of the older kids tried to bully me, I brandished it without hesitation

Again I ask, exactly what are you waiting for? We've been Communized and Nazified for years according to the right wing.

Do you ever tire of rolling over?

To add: sometimes people assume that newcomers wouldn't like our traditions... As though generations of children and families had it wrong. It's a paternalistic mindset.

Break the back of Canada by killing its culture. This is how we transition to a globalist, post-national state.

I put up with this because I'm convinced so many left wingers here are teenagers who have never experienced anything other than THE VIEW and MSNBC. It seems like few people here even understand liberals and conservatives. Terms like Conservative and LIberal have evolved over at least a 90 year period of time. The original LIBERAL ideology was one of laiseez-faire free market capitalism, with very limited government. The great economists of our time (Ludwig Von Mises, Milton Friedman, Friedrich Hayek, etc) referred to themselves as liberals. An original libertarian by the name of Ayn Rand was very critical of conservatism, believing the ideology was very stubborn, very backward looking and never wanting to make any changes. That was about right. In the early Sixties (and my source for a lot of this was Slouching Towards Gommorrah, by Judge Robert Bork), an incident happened that completely flipped the liberal script. It was called the Port Huron Statement. It created the legions of radical left wingers (Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Bobby Seale, et al) Over the years since that incident liberalism has moved further and further to the planks of the Communist Manifest. (Liberals, give it a read. You'll like it. Only sixty pages and there's a lot there you'll agree with.) Modern day conservatism came by way of William F. Buckley, (arguably the most intelligent man of the Twentieth Century) He pioneered this merger of liberty, free market capitalism and the rule of law. It was Ronald Reagan (one of the greatest presidents in history) who became almost the figurehead for modern conservatism, as he utilized the ideas of some of the most brilliant economists of their day to craft an economic plan that would raise the American economy from the misery index he inherited from Jimmy Carter, and produce the best and fastest growing economy of the 20th Century. By the late 80s, some journalist figures took great risks to their careers by embracing conservatism, including Rush Limbaugh, who became a multi millionaire with a simple AM radio talk show that reached more markets than any other. Close to the turn of the century, liberalism was REALLY going off the rails in the realm of the ridiculous. Two terms of Barak Obama (who had about as much business in the Oval Office as a hospital janitor would have performing open heart surgery) pushed the most extremist, socialist left wing agenda of all time. Backlash to that extremism led to the landslide electoral victory of Donald Trump, someone conservatives were afraid might be too liberal for that office. They were wrong. Trump's brilliant ideology, business sense and leadership gave America the greatest economy of all, secure shores, domestic energy independence and PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST. How did liberals respond? Riots in major cities. Calls to defund the police. Calls for gender reassignment surgery in children. Open borders. Thus we have the evolution of liberalism and conservatism. Right now, most of America is mainstream conservative, not necessarily because most people have done the research I've done, but because, according to brilliant journalist/pundit Ben Shapiro "Democrats have lost their f..ing minds." If you'd like to go down the list of issues that define conservatism versus far left woke-ism, that's what I'm here for.

Lol - leftists are even invoking and politicizing the teachings of Jesus Christ! That's how pathetically desperate they are. BUT, unfortunately - that doesn't help them either. It's inhumane to treat migrants as pawns, they say. Think of it as a game of CHESS! I know - it was a political move! Relocation, was the governors' turn to move their piece. PUBLICITY STUNT. They want to bring the whole nation's attention to their crisis! PHOTO-OP at MV with all the huggings and kissings like everybody at MV were sending off relatives after a short visit! That photo-op was a political move by the DEMS! Look how quickly they found an alternative place to relocate them again RIGHT after the photo-op! Yes - they are being used as political pawns - BY EVERYONE! Republicans and Democrats. MORE SO by the Democrats! They're scrambling! They have to boost their poll ratings! Mid-term is coming very soon. Therefore, no use using "pawn" as an argument. Let's get this straight: Biden used this broder problems as his pawn from the moment he became Prez. He lifted the law that was put by Donald Trump, and opened up the borders - DESPITE HAVING BEEN WARNED OF THIS CONSEQUENCE THAT WE SEE NOW. When did the surge start again? Right after Biden POLITICIZED and ADVERTISED IT TO ALL - kinda like sounding the lunch bell! Ignoring it, and letting the border states get swamped with it - hoping for something to happen that the Dems can use to demonize the Republicans - was a POLITICAL MOVE! That's inhumane.

MLW is a scholarly source.

Prey tell. What was the voltage of the lightning you was struck with? Inquiring minds would like to know as per cause and effect.

One school board cancels a Halloween parade and you think Halloween will be banned and people arrested? You sound crazy.

Those are not issues for a GG. She is 100% apolitical. She has nothing to do with the politics, laws or constitution of the country. She is a monarchy figurehead. You don't know anything about me. I just played devils advocate to your support and seemingly have won as you and some of your ilk are so pissed at me it is comical.

I present links. Check them out if you are in doubt. Seriously? making threats just because you are called out for spouting lies?? LOL You are correct,since I retired from the military, I no longer have to abide with my Military oath and will never be loyal to the crown as most Canadians will not either. The crown is for UK people, not canadians On;ly fools on this forum \

Yes. I'm agreeing with you in part.

Really? Some people do, do they? Some day I hope to meet these, "Some People" that pop us as excuses in conversations from time to time. They have some funny opinions.

I don’t know where to begin with you, but I didn’t mention the DSM. Let’s begin with this comment: “Getting fired for using the wrong pronouns is right out of the Third Reich.” WRONG. Rounding up homosexuals and mass murdering them is right out of the Third Reich. You also said that gender dysphoria is a disorder. In that case, you agree that it is a medical condition. Under Federal law, places of employment and public accommodation must make accommodations to meet their needs. So, no more discussion is needed.

Actually, President Trump (the last LEGALLY elected president) referred to some poverty stricken countries as shitholes, which would include the oil rich ghetto Venezuela and a few hell holes in Central America. (Those animals aren't paying cartel members and letting them sell their children into prostitution just to get up to America for a Happy Meal.) Not exactly the nicest thing for a president to say, but I've heard Democrats say much worse. And a country that uses socialism to starve its population IS a shithole. It is pretty much a self inflicted wound. I believe America should be compassionate, (which we are), but at some point we need to just tell the idiots in these counties to get off their fat asses and fix things and don't come to MOTHER AMERICA for the ATM card. America fixed itself with our Revolutionary War, and we are the top superpower in the world (despite the best efforts of the Democrats.) Maybe the residents of the shit holes should grow some similar spines.

Federal election. Try reading it. Whine, whine, whine. Booring

Here's an interesting mashup. Listen to it without watching and see if you can pick out the Klan folks vs. the Trump Republicans... Take the challenge...

Our laws are not the same, they are made in a real democratic government and subject to the Constitution and Charter defined by an independent Supreme Court. Comparing Canada to China is either just more bullshit or sheer ignorance.

There's a lot of that going around. For example, the big 'defund police' thing was done to allegedly protect minorities (really black) citizens in the US inner cities. Only... nobody asked them what they wanted. What they damn sure did NOT want was less police. The people behind that campaign were mostly liberal white university educated people living in nice neighborhoods along with a smattering of their black activist colleagues. Naturally, Canada's progressive adopted this wholesale despite the wildly different circumstances here. And no, none of them bothered to ask actual people about their preferences either. If Canada's massive wave of foreigners are to in any way integrate into the Canadian mainstream there has to BE some kind of mainstream. Eliminating our traditions in case they might offend newcomers is counter-productive and stupid. And I guarantee you this district school board consulted zero ethnic groups before deciding to eliminate Halloween for their students.

The Liberals started working at erasing English Canada's identity back in the late 1960s because they saw our culture/values as too closely entwined with the UK. They set out to eliminate UK influences, traditions and institutions as much as possible. They changed and renamed a lot of things, such as our national day of celebration, our flag, our constitution, our anthem, and other institutions like Canada's royal mail or the Royal Canadian air force and Royal Canadian navy. They eliminated the respect we once had for the military and emphasized other traditions rather than the ones handed down from the British. They also retargeted our immigration system away from the British Isles towards the third world to kind of erase the sharp distinction between the English and French. All this was done to make us more palatable to Quebecers. Ironically, this is what our present prime minister calls cultural genocide. But apparently that's only bad if it's against natives.

and I found out how weak it was that we could be fired upon under UN flag and we couldn't even return fire the UN at New York City had the pens, they had the power on Op Salon / Feather I was confronted by a large angry mob at my post but I only had a sidearm with one magazine so I decided to leave the sword with the Commissionaire and go out there to negotiate with the mob instead rhetoric saved the day, when I invoked a truce in the name of Her Majesty The Queen

there is historical precedent of the Canadian Forces issuing & executing unlawful orders the most recent & glaring example being on Operation Deliverance in Somalia the chain of command issued orders to "shoot to wound" & "rough the prisoners up" unlawful by national & international law & the laws of armed conflict this quickly got out of control, when Clayton Matchee took his commander's intent to the extreme then the chain of command attempted to cover the murder up, denying all knowledge of it

As far as scoffing at collectivist values, that's precisely what they are. And included in that little Final Solution is a thing called Cancel Culture. I posted about mainstream conservatism, it's roots and how it is shared by most of America. Your immediate reaction was a left wing opinion rag's LIES about President Trump. Most of that post is a lie. But hey, I'm on IGNORE. So you've canceled me. Hope you feel safe. There will be no more dangerous notions designed to actually make you THINK, in your future.

It's an honor to be on your IGNORE list.

It's phenomenal how many people right wingers seem to know who were hospitalized, injured and killed by COVID vaccines. What are the odds given how miniscule the odds of serious adverse effects are in the first place? You guys must know dozens of people who've been struck by lightning.

Wow. I wonder if the public will actually react to this. I’m not sure anymore. It’s funny, this just puts me off Ottawa even more. Phoney elites playing games with language to avoid accountability.

I’m starting to use your negative remarks as a method for deciding if I like someone. Danielle might actually be pretty good. I just hope she sticks to her guns despite the criticism of the woke mob. Alberta is the province with the best chance of overcoming the radical left. I like that province, but they may have to get out of Canada to maintain their integrity and democracy.

This is how you know it's a farce: Also, "micro-aggression" in English is "micro-aggression" (said with a French accent) in French. McKenna from Ontario. What a shocker.

You demonstrate your ignorance. You actually don’t know the structure of school boards. The trustees are not directors. There’s one director, appointed by the trustees. The trustees answer to parents and are elected by citizens in wards. Halloween is very much a Canadian tradition. It’s also an American one. The British and other Europeans don’t really celebrate it. Do you understand what culture is? If you don’t know what a parade within a school of primary children dressed up in costumes is, I guess you didn’t grow up in Canada. Deplorables? You’re using a U.S. Democrat insult of Trumpian populists. That applies here how? Get back to us in 10 years when you grow up.

Oh well from your description Russia will win any day now won’t they? Russia has damaged some infrastructure but you greatly exaggerate, especially the parts about taking down Ukraine air defences and the part about Ukraine firing a missile into Russia, which is pure BS. The only peace talks should be Russia talking about how quickly it will end the invasion and return home. Anything less is warmongering and will only encourage other warmongers to invade their neighbours and annex territory. Why do you demand Ukraine negotiate with an invader? If you caught a rapist in your home would you negotiate which family members he should be allowed to rape in order to avoid a violent confrontation?

Trump is the finest president in the history of America. So far, the sites I have posted have been fair and balanced. You on the other hand seem to get all your ideology from THE VIEW.

Judging from what I have read about 9/11, it was supposedly a planned conspiracy event brought on by your globalist buddies. I read that the owner of the twin towers was a guy by the name of Silverstein, and Silverstein apparently, has his breakfast pretty much every morning in one of his restaurants on top of one of the towers. But for some reason he was not at his restaurant that morning because he supposedly had a dentist appointment the day of 9/11. Coincidence or planned? ?

Either the American or the Ukraine military blew up the pipeline and the Crimean bridge. Live with it, globalist. So, is that flight tracker you posted above a part of one of your X-BOX games that you like to play with all day long in your grandmas basement? It's for dam sure that the Russians did not blow up their own property. Your globalist buddies did. Your globalist buddies are trying to start a war with Russia, WEF globalist supporter. Wake up, lefty. It's getting later than you think, if you are able to think at all. If I want to watch comedy news, I will watch CNN or CBC. They are always good for a laugh. ?

Now I know that you either work for CNN or the CBC. Not much to be proud of, lefty. ?

Palmer introducing Obama as HER CHOICE to succeed, IS NOT an OBAMA announcement he is running like the one he made IN PUBLIC. Duh.

Not talking about everyone having the same one. There's a huge grey area between where we are now, and a "socialist system". The assumption of an immediate default to that as soon as we change anything is silly. and that's really the point of these conversations. Can we make things better? It's not about taking things away from you.

in my experience, you are only as brave as the brothers to the left & right of you courage is contagious

Democrats are making a HUGE mistake this fall by using abortion to justify keeping them in office. Overturning Roe did not end the practice. It merely sent the decision to the states. That is WAY down the list from items like crime, gas prices, the collapsing economy, a possible nuclear war.

No, it is not, but there is a line in the sand many would not cross, like use deadly force against innocent Canadian civilians or any civilians actually.

So I gather most posters know as little about how boards work as they do how politics works. Never been on one to see, never got involved, just 'heard' from someone as ill informed as themselves and as lacking in rational thought. A "Board" is a committee, the people elected to it are called Directors of the Board. Some School Boards refer to them as Trustees, the Chairperson might possibly be referred to as the Director. The person acting as such does not make the decisions, motions are made by the members, voted on by the board and approved if passed. So the headline should read "The School Board" not "The Director of the School Board". And I ask again WTF does the School Board have to do with parades unless it's one sponsored by schools or on school property? I ask again also - WTF does a Halloween parade remotely have to do with Canadian culture? I'm finding that knee jerk reaction to erroneous and inflammatory headlines by the same lot of deplorables that ignores every despicable and criminal act by anyone they consider 'on their side' is getting tiring. The dim milk like perceptions of reality seem to indicate cataracts of the brain is the latest pandemic.

A good filter for finding the best and brightest is to find the people who claw their way up from nothing. Give them the chance and see if they sink or swim. If they sink, then then that's too bad, but the ambitious ones among them are often the most able and the most driven. too often they don't. Growing up in a rich town and in a rich neighborhood, most of the guys around here ended up working for their dads doing nothing remarkable and the girls finished school, married a dude who worked for his dad, and became highly-educated stay-at-home moms. When you have everything you need whether or not you apply yourself, it's too easy to be happy not applying yourself. That's not the end of the world, and I'm not saying we need to take that away from them, but as a society we are not handing the tools and opportunities that we could to the people who would make the best use of them. When people are not motivated to work hard, too many of them choose not to. While I agree that we don't want to go in debt subsidizing education for poor folk, that doesn't mean we can't more aggressively work to provide them with these opportunities. If you know anything about our tax system, you'd understand it's a joke and designed to fleece the upper-middle class and lower-end upper class, while making things easy for the richest of the rich. I always laugh when I hear people complain about poor people paying no taxes, when in fact it's our very top earners who are not paying their share.

A choice? How is it a choice to be born in a trailer park and have to work way harder and claw your way up even to even the middle class, compared to the rich kid whose father paves his way paying for everything and connecting him to everyone he needs to know? That's not a choice. No, that's communism. The truer system would be one where the child is at least started off with the same opportunities in terms of education, health and post-curricular activities. We don't even offer that.

People are too overwhelmed and brainwashed to push back. Canadian culture is being actively erased. It’s not valued or protected, just like our rights. I’m seriously thinking it may be better to leave Canada to the Marxist-nihilist woke-green activists. Post-national state is too entrenched. All the fake left-wing tyrants like Trudeau have to do is cry extremism and the CBC falls in line. Canada doesn’t stand much chance. Look how easily a time-honoured guy like Don Cherry was canceled to feed our ideologue media. Halloween is another nail in the coffin.

this is what a Communist takeover looks like it has happened the same way in many places before the Communists indoctrinate & infiltrate hollowing your institutions out from the inside replacing your culture with their totalitarian collectivist Utopia by way of the Hegelian Dialectic they will erase your culture with their ideology, decrying your beliefs as the "Opiate of the Masses"

So to be inclusive...they ban a tradition and exclude the majority who partake in Halloween at schools? Man, these insane Libbies need to be disposed of.

Just because you don’t recognize that traditions and special cultural events matter to people doesn’t change the fact. Most kids and families enjoy Halloween: the costumes, trick or treating, associations with All Souls Day or the Mexican Day of the Dead. These North American cultural events matter to most Canadians, and banning the festivities just because some people don’t like or care about them, is pretty awful. You don’t seem to care about much.
