A few years ago, we had a Socred Prime Minister Named Stephen Harper who was pretty decisive. He lied to the people of Saskatchewan about the equalization deal, he reneged on the Kelowna accord, lied about income trusts and pulled us out of the Kyoto agreement. I would say he was as devisive as Prime Minister Trudeau. There was also the poroguation scandal. You could say they were as bad or as good as each other. Both have failed on the climate issue2 points

So, RSV cases in children are surging across Canada and the US. The media wants to gaslight you into blaming covid 19 for this. So let's have another look at what the Pfizer and Moderna trials showed - you know, the ones they didn't want you to see for 75 years. Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine EUA Amendment Review Memorandum 05262021 (fda.gov) Moderna EUA Decision Memo 08312022 (fda.gov) Moderna 2-5 year olds: So, 4X the amount of RSV in the vaccinated group. Moderna 6-11 year olds: So you're giving a shot to kids that's INCREASING their upper respiratory tract infections with RSV quite a bit, actually. Pfizer 6 months - 4 years (3rd dose): So again, across the board, you see more cases of RSV in the vaccinated group than in the placebo group. But hey, let’s not ask any of the obvious questions — like why do we suddenly have outbreaks of RSV beyond anything we’ve ever seen before? Could it possibly be that injection that we know lowers the immune system and showed within 28 days as an increase in RSV?2 points

Now this is the way to discuss terrorism & the West's hypocrisy in claiming Russian "terrorism". https://twitter.com/EvaKBartlett/status/1583129989964533760 @ClareDalyMEP "There is nothing constructive about the pot calling the kettle black. If the EU is going to start naming "state sponsors of terrorism," let's do it... Let's recognize West-sponsored terrorism too, and make sure ???????? and their pals ?????? & the rest are all on the list." https://twitter.com/ClareDalyMEP/status/1583073033593712641 Hope the fence-sitter [https://twitter.com/EvaKBartlett/status/1582809205324800001] will learn from Daly. 65) Terrorism.mp41 point

I totally disagree. Harper was consistently professional. He was a much wiser statement internationally and he managed to show respect towards Quebec and Indigenous without turning Canada into a house of shame. His programs supported families without being redistribution schemes for select groups. The scandals you mention barely register compared to Trudeau’s. He saved Canada from a costly and insane central planning climate agreement. Trudeau buys into all the international programs and sells Canadians short to look good on the world stage, though he looks like an attention-seeking fop. Trudeau also won’t let his MP’s vote with their conscience on matters like abortion. He’s a King Godfrey mama’s boy with good hair. Early on I thought maybe there were real smarts and wisdom behind the image, but that impression quickly faded. How can you think for a second that the country is just as good now as it was under Harper? Our dollar is worth much less. Our debt is much higher. Our economic growth is flat. Our cost of living is much higher. Our national pride is much lower. Our freedoms have been reduced and challenged. Our population is far more divided. Our moral compass is haywire, whether the issue is assisted suicide, trans teachers with gargantuan prosthetic breasts, the rise in drug addiction, or the general malaise and confusion of young people. I wasn’t a fan of Harper initially because I was taught to fear conservatives, even as a centrist, but Trudeau has really compromised Canada.1 point

The whole Emergencies Act declaration looks pretty bad now, considering it was all about vaccine mandates, and vaccinating 85% of our country didn't lower the number of covid deaths at all in this country. Turns out that the truckers had every reason to refuse the jab and our gov't had no good reason to inflict it on everyone.1 point

First they spewed the lie that the vac prevented transmission. They've all pretty much given that up - the lie that made forced shot/lose your job mandates that devastated lives possible. So now they spew the lie that it prevents hospitalization and death. That's proving false now too. The data is there from every country around the world. It takes a while but eventually the truth comes out. The truly brainwashed will never admit it. Because they can't stop feeding at the slop pail that is MSM.1 point

Because your right to demonstrate and inconvenience others has constitutional limits, and for obvious reasons. ?♂️ It wasn't one guy's comments. It was one guy, all of his followers, and then numerous other people and their respective groups. The notion that this was all a kumbaya protest of peace and love is equally dishonest. There's nuance here, going both ways. Certainly, but then maybe you could go back and review your own posts and characterizations of people disagreeing with you. Yeah, it's definitely a problem. How many times have you used "vile" to describe the people you disagree with here? If you honestly asked yourself, could you seriously say you've avoided nasty rhetoric and hyperbole, while sticking to legitimate arguments? ?1 point

Moonbox, the gig is up. We were told there was a safe, effective vax, we were even told by the US CDC director that you wouldn't get infected or spread covid if you got it. Now we know that was 100% bullshit and we're just as done as done can be. We hit 85% vax status and the number of covid deaths hasn't slowed down at all in this country. Death rates for the vaxed are directly proportional to the % of vaxed people here. What's left to see here? If you're not mad at all the vax-Nazis and all their vax promises then you need to raise expectations dude. Way up. Stop being used by people who don't give a f about you, and who just want big pharma bucks.1 point

Yes. It actually says that. The screenshots and links to both trials are on the trickle thread. I've supported absolutely everything I've said with links to probably over 100 studies and data sets. Just because you refuse to read them, doesn't mean I haven't provided the links or that they don't exist. You're like a 2 year old with a wubbie over his head who thinks no one can see him because he can't see from under the wubbie. Read the info, studies and data or don't, IDGAF. But stop lying about me not providing links. Eyeball makes all kinds of statements of stats and never provides a link but you just accept whatever headline he parrots and reject the actual studies and data. The brainwashing certainly worked on you.1 point

Rumor has it that America does have some American soldiers on the ground in the Ukraine. America does not want to stay the hell out of Ukraine. Instead they prefer to want to be in Ukraine hell and get in on the fighting action. This could be a problem and an excuse for the warmongers in America and NATO the need to start their own war with Russia if the Russians by chance happen to kill one American soldier on the ground somewhere in Ukraine in some bombing. America is determined to get into a fight with Russia. A very stupid dumb idea and plan for the rest of the world indeed. If Trump were still the president this feud between Russia and Ukraine would not have lasted this long. Trump the peacemaker would have had both countries leaders sitting down at the peace table and talk peace. Aw well. BiDumb runs the show now. ?1 point

That's fair, but you don't just get to protest wherever you want for as long as you want and however you please just because you're not violent. That's what happens when you bring guys like Pat King along. He and his followers deserved most of the criticism, and as we saw in the inquiry some of the protest leaders considered asking him to go home but then cynically decided to keep him around because of how many people were with them. While you may not be guilty of the same things, your association with people like that does speak.1 point

More and more people are waking up. The media and authorities can keep trying to pass off vaccine injuries and deaths as "covid", coincidences, anxiety, etc but lots of people are seeing it. People are noticing it's only the vaccinated that keep getting covid over and over and over. The heart attacks and sudden deaths are getting too noticeable. That's why they have to keep shutting down groups and censoring. They just stripped Dr. McCullough of his medical license. The man who actually was treating covid patients with great success and has saved thousands of people with his early treatment protocol. They don't want early treatment. They don't want a cure. They want everybody taking jabs every 3-6 months for the rest of their lives, which will be shortened because of the repeated jabs. But I agree that most people will continue to be compliant and not connect the dots. This is the rich and powerful taking over. They need the covid emergency so people not only willingly let them, but beg for it.1 point

As I said, a letter to Members of Parliament would have delivered their message with the same result. The occupation had very little support. Over 80% of the adult population got vaccinated because they understood it would help keep them alive and out of hospital. People lost their jobs because they were so desperate to get the vaccine, they jumped the Que. Over 80% of truckers were vaccinated. Even if you doubt the efficacy of the vaccine, if it helps you keep your job, why not get it? The occupiers were wrong and violated thousands of innocent residents rights.1 point

In relation to the US dollar, further down in the article it relates how Saudi Arabia is indeed considering taking Chinese currency for its oil rather than USD. Russia already takes only rubles for their oil, and this can’t be helpful to the stability of the Yankee buck. “Given the transition of Saudi Arabia away from the U.S. and towards China – and the senior Saudis do look at the issue in these terms, whatever they say publicly – there is also every reason to expect Riyadh to continue to back China’s efforts to undermine the power of the U.S. dollar in the global energy markets as well. Not only is Saudi Arabia now a prime mover in advancing the China-GCC Free Trade Agreement (FTA) – a key aim of which is to forge a “deeper strategic cooperation in a region where U.S. dominance is showing signs of retreat” – but also the Kingdom is now a prime advocate for switching away from the hegemony of U.S. dollars in the pricing of global oil and gas.” I'm sure you will disagree, moonbox, but you have nothing except your opinion to offer. Either way, only time will tell.1 point

A new wave of celebrity politicians breaks the rules on acceptable behavior, inspired by Trump Published: November 2, 2022 8.30am EDT …,,We are sociocultural anthropologists who have studied white-collar crime and political corruption in the U.S. and Latin America. We can confidently say candidates like Walker, whose rule-breaking might have doomed a candidate in earlier times, benefit from a template developed by former President Donald Trump, who figured out how to turn celebrity status into political success. This formula, which helped to transform Trump from a real estate mogul and celebrity TV character into the leader of the Republican Party, involves getting the public to register transgressive behavior as entertainment. By adopting this template, several Trump-backed celebrity candidates have translated their personal fame into support from Trump’s base in the 2022 midterms. A close look at Walker; Kari Lake, the GOP gubernatorial candidate in Arizona; and Mehmet Oz, the Republican senate candidate in Pennsylvania known as Dr. Oz, reflects how Trump has led politics down a path that not only prioritizes personality over policy, but also rewards celebrity politicians for behaving badly. … Such performances by celebrity candidates don’t appear to diminish their reputations. In fact, they seem to attract voters who appreciate that these candidates don’t even try to act like conventional politicians. Bad behavior before Trump Celebrity politicians have always been held to a different standard than traditional politicians. As media critic Neil Postman has noted, former U.S. president and Hollywood actor Ronald Reagan frequently said things that were untrue – and was not held accountable for doing so. Reagan praised the apartheid regime in South Africa for having ended segregation when it had not, and he repeatedly insisted that trees were harmful to the environment. Yet, he remained a popular political figure because most voters who backed him cared less about the veracity of what he said and more about his ability to tap into their emotions. Sensing this, Reagan spent his time in the White House focusing on emotional impact rather than accuracy. There are also examples of Democratic politicians behaving badly, and at odds with how they presented themselves as professionals. Jerry Springer was aCincinnati councilman in the 1970s, before he resigned for paying prostitutes for sex. Springer went on to have a successful television career as a daytime talk show host. “Saturday Night Live” comedian Al Franken, who later became a Minnesota senator, resigned from his post in 2017 over sexual misconduct allegations. But in his case, Franken’s bad behavior pushed him out of politics, not further into it. These kinds of political norms shifted with the rise of Trump’s political power, however, as Trump has relied less on his ability to inspire confidence than on his ability to amuse and entertain his fans. The Trump shift Throughout his political career, Trump has effectively used crude and derisive humor to elevate himself as an entertainer while transforming his opponents from sometimes stiff and humorless politicians into grotesque and laughable people. This humor would have been seen as rude and unpresidential if uttered by another person, or if said by Trump himself outside of the political arena. Trump purposefully shames and embarrasses his political rivals, and his supporters celebrate these transgressions at his campaign rallies, which have become a collective space for his followers to revel in humiliating those he perceives to be his opponents. At a 2016 rally, Trump mimicked firing a gun while critiquing a member of the U.S. Army who had been accused of desertion. In October 2022 at a rally, Trump threatened journalists with prison rape. Such performances are effective not only because they inspire a call-and-response style of sycophantic celebrity fandom, but also because they resist the effect of criticism. No matter how harmful and demeaning Trump’s performances are to their targets, they can always be dismissed as comedic entertainment. ….., https://theconversation.com/a-new-wave-of-celebrity-politicians-breaks-the-rules-on-acceptable-behavior-inspired-by-trump-1930561 point

What's sopping wet is your reasoning. It's correct because without NATO material support, Putin asserts his claims and takes what he pleases, which is very clearly what you want to see: If you didn't support Putin, you wouldn't have spent 99% of your energy in this thread ranting against anyone/everyone who opposed him, and none criticizing him. Saying, "I don't support Putin" doesn't mean much when everything you're saying is in support of him. ?1 point

I don't like the Liberal economic policies. I don't think Trudeau is even a remotely competent economic manager. I bet most Canadians also agree with that, and have for some time. In the last election, however, many people who otherwise wouldn't have considered voting for Trudeau did so anyways because O'Toole wouldn't take a proper stand against conspiracy theories and goof rhetoric within his own party. The last election wasn't an endorsement of Trudeau by any means. It was a repudiation of far-right nonsense.1 point

This idea of “We were all in the dark and people said lots of things and some wound up right and some wrong and we all just need to get over it and move on as recrimination is not useful” take rings hollow and false. Who does this serve? Why should we forgive those who through stupidity and fear, spent 3 years denying 100 years of evidence-based science to attack our lives and livelihoods? Oh, no worries! I'm sure you had your reasons? You were "just following orders"? You were just doing what the authorities said? It is precisely BECAUSE following vicious, evil orders is so easy in times of fear and that humans break and bow to authority with such ease, that there must be sharp penalties, reputational and otherwise for so doing. Otherwise, you're just greasing the rails for next time. Ignorance of the law is not excuse. Neither is ignorance of ethics or epidemiology. Even if we accept this “we were in the dark” line of reasoning it still makes no sense. We were not in the dark. We had 100 years of evidence-based pandemic and epidemiological guidance and guideline upon which to rely. Some tried to follow these bodies of canon and were shouted down by those seeking to do exactly what that guidance admonished against. That is lack of knowledge abrogating actual knowledge and panic driven superstition superseding evidence. Equating those two viewpoints as “equivalent” is pure nonsense. Even if truly no one knew anything, then this is a reason for humility. The base is always “Respect others and their rights. Do not panic. Don’t do anything crazy or drastic without a very sound reason.” That’s not what happened. A bunch of terrified anti-science loons got loose with global government and pushed literally unprecedented in human history, programs of societal and economic upheaval that flat out broke the world while, predictably, having zero effect on the pandemic. You took you lead from China. CHINA. The precautionary principle does not state “every time you get scared, do the most radical thing you can think of it if feels like safety”. That is precisely what it warns against. Such excursions into superstitious supplication of pseudoscience are not evidence-based epidemiology. They are not even sanity. Calling that an equivalent viewpoint to “we need strong, data-driven evidence to take such outlandish actions” is pure nonsense. The presumption of the right to force upon others the unfounded desires of “those in the dark” fails on every metric for sustaining a free society. “We didn’t know, so we took your rights away just in case” is not much of justification. This lays claim to “emergency powers” of dictatorial nature and is exceedingly dangerous as a societal foundation. It’s also incompatible with the basic idea of a society in which the rights of the individual stand paramount to the whims of the state or the mob. This ought to be especially so in emergencies with low information. So, this all fails in epic fashion. This idea of “We didn’t know, so how about a little amnesty for all the crazy and damaging things we did to you in direct opposition to your own desires” is just not going to wash. That laundry is too dirty. If there is no cost to having acted poorly, rashly, and without consideration or information despite the ill effects it had on others, are we not just subsidizing more such antisocial activity in the future? I get to run amok, wreck your life, then call "olly olly oxen free" and skate on blame? Sorry about your business, your kids, the vilification, and the shady jabs? Don’t even get me started on folks like NIH and CDC and FDA who were NOT in the dark, but knew full well they were cutting corners, publishing fraud, and telling lies about everything from masks to vaxxes to lockdowns and covid origins. Being wrong is one thing. OK, you made a mistake. I can forgive so long as it was YOUR mistake. But when you take that mistake and make it mine by forcing actions and restrictions to which I do not consent and to threaten the lives and livlihoods of me and mine because you’re running around half-cocked and have no respect for the rights of others, well, that’s something altogether different. There is a sleight of hand in the thinking here, like somehow having misunderstood a pandemic excuses the mass scale abrogation of rights and reason. It doesn’t. And all the people who favored that, who brayed and cheer led for it, they are guilty too. And I cannot see “just dropping the matter” because they’d like it to go away now. Like Treebeard, wanting to re-write history by claiming that they knew all along the jabs wouldn't stop transmission. He's lying to himself, and thinking if he repeats the lie often enough, we'll all forget about how he supported un-scientific, unethical and tyrannical governmental decisions that were 100% politically based and had nothing whatsoever to do with real science. If you got conned by this, got jabs you did not want, and suffered as many did - well, so long as you did not advocate forcing this on others, you already have my forgiveness. You were a victim here. But as soon as you cross the line into advocating coercive policy or willful data suppression, that’s a whole separate issue. All the people crowing about how they got to eat in restaurants while laughing at unvaxxed people - well, you disgust me. Being wrong is no crime, nor is being bullied into compliance. But forcing others to join you is. Knowingly suppressing data and spreading lies is. I'm sure that many who now find themselves way on the wrong side of so many issues rapidly coming to light as fraud and failure, would like amnesty. But that is no reason to grant it. It may be strong reason to withhold it. If you wielded the whip hand of the Covidian crusader, I’m sorry, but I don’t care if you were “in the dark”. Having done so out of ignorance (or worse, the sort of dark desire to act dictator or demagogue by assuming a faux moral mantle to vilify and attack others) makes you a HAZARD and precisely the sort of person that ought be penalized.1 point

It is inappropriate to prejudge the findings of the Commission. Regardless of their findings, we need to come up with legislation more appropriate to this type of crisis. Freedom is important but so is law and order. The way to respond to government policy you disagree with is to take part in politics, not threatening to shoot the Minister of Finance in the head. We are better at politics than any other country in the world. Use that skill, not threats or violence. There is no such thing as a "pseudo" majority. A Minority is a minority is a minority. The House can bring down the government at any time. In the words of Premier W.A.C. Bennett, "Every vote is a free vote, but if we lose, there will be an election." If you want to bring down the government, donate to the NDP. They are supporting the government because the NDP doesn't have enough money to fight an election. You have to make it worth the NDP's while. However, now that they have propped up the Grits, history indicates the NDP will get hammered in the next election.1 point

We comprehend that you think all NATO involvement in this conflict is wrong. Which means you effectively support Putin's claim to Ukraine. You think the West should look the other way because he hasn't threatened a NATO nation yet. Which is the same type of appeasement that led to Hitler's rise in the 1930's. You repeatedly cite the sham referendums as legit. Which is laughable if you were even the slightest bit impartial. Their goal was to take out the capital and install a puppet leader like they've done over and over again across Eurasia. Annexing these territories is a backup plan. It's clear Ukraine is happy with their leader as they're willing to fight an die for their freedom. That's admirable. Unlike Russians who are being forced to die in a conflict they don't support. Young Russians are fleeing the country to avoid conscriptions which means an unimaginable brain drain of young people who would actually contribute to their society. Russia is spiralling the drain of relevance.1 point

I don't care if Putin's a good guy or a bad guy. John Candy was a good guy. Not every good thing that happened between 1980 and 1990 was done by John Candy. Hitler was a bad guy. Not every bad thing that happened between 1935 and 1945 was Hitler's fault. FYI I'm not "pro-Russian" at all. I don't hate Ukrainians either. Ideally, no one would be killing anyone. I'm pro-peace, and Ukraine created a condition where war was necessary. Now there's war. Sun Tzu only lived to be 48, 2,500 years ago, and even he understood that peace required strength. Having weak, stupid presidents doing the wrong things in the US caused war. Obama and Biden thought it would be cute to prepare Ukraine to join NATO. Fart around and find out, I guess. Kennedy invaded Cuba, unprovoked, in 1961. Then Kennedy dropped depth charges on Russian subs which were in international waters, headed to a nation which had asked for their aid after they were attacked by the US. Putin isn't a good guy, nor was Kennedy by your standards, the embargo and the missile crisis are two separate events, and FYI sending the VPOTUS to Ukraine is neither low-level nor slow-moving.
