The rich already pay a disproportionate amount of the overall tax burden though. And they can move to places where taxes are more favorable. With Trudeau taking more and more money out of my pocket, I have less to spend as do many other Canadians.

Trudeau apologist . . . . yeah but, yeah but, yeah but Harper.

The question is, does one try to fix it simply by slathering on another coat, and hoping for the best, or get the grinder out... completely remove the old surface... right down to the pure material... then rebuild from there

Here's the problem, according to one very intelligent source. https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2016/10/02/sowell-welfare-state-no-favor-to-blacks/ Sowell: Welfare state no ‘favor’ to blacks Dr. Thomas Sowell.

And I say whenever these playboy politicians use their emergency powers flippantly it has serious consequences. It weakens our democracy. Those who weaken our democracy should be ostracized and called traitors. Ok, so that's a little dramatic and not gonna happen. But it still should. Better yet, we need to raise the bar on implementing emergency powers. We don't want some prettyboy who got in power to use them every time they get an anxiety attack.

The Bible wasn't written by "men", it was put together by a committee. That alone should make real conservatives run away screaming...

Proven wrong by more and better science. That’s not a flaw, it’s a benefit of the scientific method. Scientists are always trying to prove each other incorrect.

Of course not. "They came for the other guys, but they was deplorables anyway. So I said nothing."

I'm not looking up anything. You make the claim, you back it up.

WTF are you talking about? No one is talking about putting anyone to death, it's about how do we give people more control over their own lives while making sure they aren't taken advantage of. You are the one who wants to control people. Did you even bother to read the article?

That’s your excuse for weak medical ethics that makes it easy and likely that vulnerable people will be put to death, including the mentally ill, elderly, and children? You reference oppressive societies and say, “See, we’re better than they are.” It’s a poor argument, but it’s the one our government used to change the channel on the use of the Emergencies Act: “Look at Ukraine! Russia bad!” Wise people can hold multiple perspectives at once: Russia behaved badly in Ukraine. Canada’s government has become too controlling. I could also critique Neo-Nazism in Ukraine and talk about a slew of examples of American manipulation of world affairs from the installation of Saddam Husain to the support of the Mujahideen yet also be grateful for America’s defence of freedom from communism. Sometimes the US and NATO got it wrong. I’m sure the intentions were good, though people act in complicated ways that involve self-interest and conflicting interests. The only value of this forum is to ensure that government policies have positive outcomes that add prosperity and freedom rather than damage humanity, in the long and short-term. We already know that Canada is a better place to live than many countries. The better question to ask is whether Canada is getting better or worse. It’s very clear that our government is leaning on assisted suicide as a means of cutting healthcare costs (auditor referred to this). The main reason we had so many lockdowns and restrictions was to keep our healthcare system from getting overwhelmed. Basically our government has compromised our constitutional rights to prop up a failed socialist healthcare system. Are you willing to look honestly at the ethical implications and incompetence or are you just going to defend the status quo and proclaim how much better we are than the worst places? We have too many commentators on here who have this knee-jerk defence mechanism. It’s always the same rhetoric: We’re not the US! We had fewer deaths! [So did China.] You’re all conspiracy clowns! Look at Russia, China, North Korea! It’s not unlike our government’s tactic of calling all government critics white supremacists or people with unacceptable views. It’s a tired pattern.

A great summary. Some may be confused but very little to add, indeed.

Where to start... He's doing nothing about China, nothing to separate us from them as trading partners, nothing to control their espionage here or their interference in our elections or their threatening expatriates here. He's doing nothing, in fact, to protect national security, to protect government, never mind important public and private sector institutions from foreign cyber attacks. He's doing nothing whatsoever to rebuild the military and get it back in shape, leaving us completely at the mercy of the United States for protection against the world's rising warlords. He's doing nothing to expand our industrial base, to expand our economy (beyond flooding Canada with foreigners). He's doing nothing to improve our exports (rather the contrary) or our productivity. His government's actions are actually aiding inflation rather than fighting it. He's doing nothing to improve healthcare across the country. Yes, yes, it's a provincial responsibility but by now surely anyone with even slight knowledge understands that when every single provincial and territorial government's healthcare system is collapsing there's a commonality beyond how 'greedy' and dumb they all are. The entire system needs a rework, and since it operates under federal legislation that means they need to do it. He's certainly doing nothing to help us cope - or even acknowledge there will be any difficulty with - the millions upon millions of new people he's going to flood the country with over the coming years. Where is the stepped up infrastructure spending? Where are the plans for giant new housing complexes? I mean, they could at least be asking the UN for a bunch of those big refugee tents. You talk about climate change. The Trudeau government has made zero acknowledgement that the climate is going to warm regardless of what we do, and proposed initiatives, or even studies to determine how we can best adapt in terms of flood control or irrigation systems or improved building codes. They've also done zero with regard with natives. I'm not talking about throwing more billions at them to shut them up. I'm talking about some kind of resolution to the separation of natives from the rest of the country on often isolated, uneconomic reserves where they have no reason to live. Instead his government seems set on widening the divide between natives and everyone else here.

It absolutely says what I said it does. It's simple math. The rolling total of death from one month minus the death total from the month before = the number of deaths in the past month. It's an absolute fact that 85% of the Canadians who die of covid each are multi-vaccinated. It's also a fact that vaxing 85% of the population didn't result in a decrease in covid deaths from 2021 to 2022. Arguing ether point isn't a matter of scientific opinion, it's purely a sign of abject stupidity.

What injustice? Your Nazi cancel culture throwing out the picture of Nancy Green? I quoted an actual source. And I don't a rat's ass if you're too entitled and stupid to believe that source. So far, I haven't seen ANY sources from the Retard Brigade here, so put a sock in it.

There are obvious and realistic reasons for divorce. But this conveyor belt system encourages divorce for any excuse. Plus...society has to reinstate the family unit as a pillar.

So, he is embarrassing because he appears on a comedy show, like Harper, Wall, Clinton, and Nixon. Was President Trump am embarrassment? President Reagan? Governor Schwarzenegger? Lets look at the leaders our Prime Minister is supposed to impress. President Biden? President Putin? President Putin is a man living in fear. Who is he afraid of? He is frightened of the President of a little country on the western border of Russia. Ukraine has a slightly larger population than Canada, but it has put the fear of God into the mighty KGB wannabee President Putin, who commands one of the most powerful military forces in the world. Who is the President of the Ukraine? Volodymyr Zelenskyy, a comedian, like Brent Butts, Rick Mercer, RuPaul, or President Reagan. Yet, President Zelenskyy is one of the most respected leaders in the world today.

Libbies spend a good deal of time looking for excuses to cry "RACISM". Unfortunately most of them have the analytical capacity of a plank. To address this issue, we need to address the problem.

The kid had a sperm donor. And I'm pretty sure the mother wasn't rich enough to pay for artificial insemination. As far as the stats go... https://newsone.com/1195075/children-single-parents-u-s-american/ 72 Percent Of Black Kids Raised By Single Parent, 25% Overall In U.S. To answer your obviously naive idea, yes this kid is a human being. Being a human being does not mean a person is instantly absolved of all responsibility for his/her actions. A human being can grow up to be a million dollar philanthropist or can be a mass murderer. The concept of HUMAN covers a lot of ground. It is the schools FIRST responsibility to protect the safety of ALL the children in class. And even in some of the roughest schools, (and I subbed at several of those dangerous campuses in Orlando) most the kids will do what they are told and not pull a knife or a gun on a teacher or another student. So the problem children are a minority. And YOUR dumb ass side of the aisle thinks it is somehow racist if the troublemakers are not held accountable for their actions. Just like you cretins made a hero out of George Floyd, a thug who committed suicide by fentanyl.

I think he's a certifiable loon who makes baseless claims and has no idea just how repugnant the MAGA mob is. They tried to steal an election (that point shouldn't be up for debate- Eastman memo and literal fake electors) they've undermined faith in elections, they are not-so-subtly preparing at the state level to steal the next one, they disenfranchise through voter suppression--and they've stripped half the population of the basic right to physical sovereignty. They haven't had a platform for years now aside from "screw the libs." What does this vile version of the GOP offer anyone outside of straight, white men? If people still get to vote, why would they vote for something so ugly? What young person tubes into their message and says "This is an amazing vision of the future!"?

Eyeball, I have a different view of this place called Canada.

Canada's embarrassment . . . . . Justin Trudeau.

The enigma of Justin. One can see a natural progression here-

Any idea what criminal code is broken by wearing fake boobs?

It's my understanding that Justin will appear on "Drag Strip" or whatever, but will not be dressing in drag himself. Disappointing in a way. It's not really that bold. I say if wants to make a statement, he should go with it all the way. Weirdly, I would actually respect him more if he did... Own what you are

Just like is claimed in every other faith. Seems pretty arbitrary to simply pick one when none of them have evidence. No substitute for indoctrinating the young until they can't exercise critical thinking.

Exactly. Every biologist in the world would trade a limb to stumble upon something with greater explanatory power than evolution. Nobel prize, face on the mount Rushmore of our collective consciousness, elevating themselves to Darwin-like fame and turning Darwin into Lamarck. Science isn't defending an article of faith, it's attacking it relentlessly until only the truth survives. Which is where we're at with evolution today.

Comparing a public stoning to a cameo visit on a droll tv show couldn't be much sillier. Really. I don't think these supposed practices are anywhere near as laid out as you'd presume. Outside of the formal and symbolic duties of the position (or the Law), each PM makes the position their own.

https://nypost.com/2022/11/03/bidens-big-lie-on-democracy/ That's what Joe the twit said. You bots can and will argue to the end of your days that this meant something other that what the joke said. But then again...when ur willin' ta sell out the human race...very little is beneath ya...right?

A. No, I didn't mention doo rags B. You named a fictional character, as real as Mr. Peanut (the first peanut millionaire!) C. The model did not become a millionaire. She spent her life in service work. D. Even if ANY of the above had been correct, she STILL wouldn't have been the first Black millionaire. Someday you're going to break your streak and make a factually correct statement. I'm rooting for you.

Thanks. My teacher friend said a white teacher in her school told a black student to take off their doo rag because they looked like a gang member. So it happens, however generally all kids should be treated by the same standards of decent behaviour/rules and my guess is black students will typically get reprimanded more than white kids due to economic backgrounds. Edit: (which correlate to behaviour and how well they were raised etc).

Millions...billions worldwide, have been safely and effectively vaccinated according to the standpoint of the vast VAST majority of experts medical opinion. The benefits to such an enormous number of people far far outweighs the harm done to the tiny minuscule number of people with serious side effects. The fact you don't agree is fine but the bullshit you spread to explain and justify your own personal choice makes you a retard.

Veterans Affairs offered a wounded veteran medically assisted suicide as a "solution" that would never have been considered in the Canada I grew up in that would never have even been conceived of in the Canada I grew up in in the Canada I grew up in, this 2022 we live in now, would be a dark dystopic future

You believe killing the mentally ill warrants "thoughtful discussion"?

That was an interesting article, providing thoughtful comments on MAID, it's ethics, the motives and experiences of those seeking MAID, and the process by which we got here. But of course, simplistic partisanship wouldn't allow for an actual "discussion" of a complex topic, but rather must phrase it as "that hateful Trudeau, look what he's done now" and disallowing any nuance in the resulting "conversation".

Calling Trudeau a murderer is fact. But saying that the convoy had racists in it is BIG LIES ? OK THEN

How Ukraine – Not Russia – Floods Social Media With War Propaganda On Twitter, Zelensky is a post whore....my observation.

Only time will tell. Both sides of the aisle like to spend money. If the HOuse can at least impeach Biden and send him to prison, it'll be worth it.

Bad news for Anglo-Khazarian NAZI bots from competent US colonel Actually EVERYTHING changes in 4 weeks. This is Putin's calm before the storm. Sorry guys.

Yes, tone deaf. What if he had done that as Covid was starting to hit? The economy, healthcare and such reflect times that are beyond difficult for a large number of Canadians. They (we) are not comforted seeing our PM yukking it up in a dress on TV. That's more of a Giuliani thing.

Boys and girls, ANY politician or public figure who spews "Blames whiteness" is a racist and a bigot and should be FIRED. No different from "Blames blackness." Racism is racism.

It's possible that a black child will face harsher consequences in school, IF HIS/HER TEACHER IS BLACK. Black teachers do not fck around. They smack the little shits, yell at them and make them behave. White teachers barely raise their voices at all. I've seen it. I've seen very petite, attractive young black teachers scare the crap out of black Seniors, just by giving them a slightly dirty look. I know what's behind that. Black cops on the street are more likely to knock the crap out of black perpetrators. Here's the thing: (At least I've seen this in Florida schools). Discipline is evenly distributed. And problem kids are not limited to black kids. I've subbed at an elementary school in one of the roughest black neighborhoods of all time and those kids might as well be college students, they are so polite. Then I subbed in a rich white school where the kids were ANIMALS. It's not race that is the problem. I say this every day: Children are clay. They are not born bad. They are molded by their environment. If they are raised with no consequences for their actions, they are going to stay in trouble. You can't blame the justice system or the education system for that. The justice system is not racist, even with that bill that Biden signed decades ago that locked up a generation of blacks for smoking a single joint. Kamala Harris, as a prosecutor, put enough blacks behind bars to make her qualified to join the Ku Klux Klan. Cops are not out there looking for black faces to arrest. That lie is just racist beyond the imagination. Bottom line, a person commits a crime and gets caught, that person deserves prison, regardless of race But you're right about systemic racism. It exists. It's called the DEMOCRAT PARTY. And this Biden regime is the most racist one in history, even worse than KKKlinton. (Remember, it was during KKKlinton that Biden wrote that crime bill which locked up so many blacks for drug crimes.) But by all means, stick with that defund the cops, no discipline in school. Sit around and wait until gangs invade your neighborhood and kill everyone on your block.

Biden basically said that democracy is dead if the Dems don't get the result they want. I'm quite comfortable that what I wrote is a perfect interpretation of what came out of his stupid yap.

Senator McCrackin of Rhode Island has an awesome campaign ad:

Explain to me how woke goes away after Biden is elected. It's such a weird idea that I'm sure you have an equally entertaining explanation. Let me start: 1. Trump wins in a landslide. 2. Woke people.... uh... leave the US ? Give up ? Fill in the rest....

There's nothing in there about woke, green energy etc. anyway. The squawking points are not reflected in reality, no surprise...

Where have you been for the last two weeks then ?

Yeah but with the Ambassador Bridge blockaded maybe we don't need the premier to be "everybody's pal" right now
