Even mainstream media is starting to clue in: These are just from today, but I'm seeing more "waking up". Rex Murphy: Liberals' 'just transition' a fist to the mouth of Canada (msn.com) Michael Shellenberger: Davos is a grift and a cult but it’s also a bid for global domination (msn.com) Bruce Pardy: ESG will kill capitalism, and freedom along with it (msn.com) Sabrina Maddeaux: The WEF needs to do some serious soul searching, if it still has one (msn.com)

The only hope we have is that, like most government initiatives, in the end nothing will happen. Reality has a way of taking over. Germany, the climate change poster child, has detained Greta at a coal mine site reopening. Right now it's every country for themselves and the devil take the hindmost. Canada is a bad example to use because of the world's four largest oil producers we're the only ones with carbon taxes and a federal government determined to kill the oil industry...we're not reality.

Once again, and louder for the people in the back, who still don't get it: UNVACCINATED DOES NOT EQUAL INFECTED. YOU CANNOT SPREAD DISEASES YOU DON'T HAVE. VACCINATED PEOPLE ALSO SPREAD COVID.

Everyone who disagrees with your politics is a conspiracy theorist. This is your attempt to shut down discussion.

Where's @sharkman for this? This chart is government friendly propaganda! How can you even believe something like this when PARTY CITY JUST DECLARED BANKRUPTCY!

Global solutioning- bleeding the west of wealth. Retooling the economy- bleeding the west of wealth. Addressing new threats - bleeding the west of wealth.

A wrench is useful; you're more like a can of spray paint during an Antifa riot.

Related maybe but not the same thing. Climate begins at a 30 year trend, technically. Weather can be something like a heat wave.

The thread is about serious racism, the OP's accusation is substantiated by the article, the only one making unsubstantiated claims is you. If this is your forum then why don't you ban people for constantly pointing out your hypocrisy and lies? Of course no one believes you MH. You're the guy with the Trudeau pom-poms, and one of the most credulous leftists on this site, who pretends to be a conservative. The guy with you, in your selfie, was actually Gerald Butts. Prove me wrong. You won't even use your little voice on this forum to speak out against the PM for his blatant hate-mongering MH. You even pretended to see a sea of Nazi & confederate flags at the Freedom Convoy when he said they were there, you just couldn't find any pictures of it. Hit the skids you hypocritical whiner.

Saying there's no risks in getting COVID, or no risks getting the vaccine, are both lies, and both easily disproven by mainstream science.

Yeah because nobody would ever want to actually defend their country unless they were profiteers. Right? You’re no better than athos with your shameless and baseless lies

I don't agree with the OP, but why does the CBC article say in big bold letters that "white folks have work to do"? If black people make up a disproportionate % of violent offenders, don't they have work to do also? Why doesn't anyone say that whenever a gang member shoots up a neighborhood, but people say that when a white person in another country shoots people? Why is there a racist double- standard where only white people can be called out on their nonsense? I also don't think entire racial groups should be called out at all, because this is racist. Neither "White people" nor "black people" have "work to do", only individuals who do or say things they shouldn't have work to do. I do agree with the OP that this article contains elements of divisive race-baiting, which should not be tolerated by our public broadcaster. "White people" did not shoot those people in Buffalo, a single nutty white person did. But the article is correct that we need to be concerned about hate crimes and racism towards and from different groups, including against black Canadians.

Well the group of psychopaths are meeting again to discuss how they alone are going to save humanity. Freeland will be speaking. What crazy nonsense will these loons be imposing next?

Just one more fact old George failed to mention. https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.reuters.com/world/us/embattled-us-rep-santos-was-drag-queen-brazil-pageants-say-associates-2023-01-19/&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwjx66D1qNT8AhXXMUQIHZirB7YQFnoECAIQAg&usg=AOvVaw3bf9crGKSrDkP_89MTANEO

Rich Democrats should pay another 40 percent in income taxes. In addition, Democrat politicians who live in high crime districts with restrictive gun laws should have to pay a 30% sales tax for the cost of their armed bodyguards. Democrat politicians who voted for higher welfare spending should have to pay an additional 30% of their income to help cover the costs of their spending. The Pelosi Klan, the Biden Klan, The Obama Klan and the KKKlinton Klan should ALL be taxed an additional 50 percent, on top of what they are paying now.

Oh... So you believe homosexuality is deviant behavior? Are you religious, or a homophobe, or both?

Whatever boats your float, I thought you liked drag queens.

1. And yet your source included it. Let's look at the others... 2. A professor of Geology is not a climate scientist. Does this person publish Climate papers ? "stated that" ? Where ? When ? 3. Astrophysicist... is embarrassed ? Ok. Did he publish a paper ? Oh wait... he DID ... 20 years ago ... and it was widely criticized as having poor methodology and the publisher admitted it shouldn't have been published. 4. It's a general statement. There isn't much disagreement - and I'm sure you can see why - that greenhouse gasses and solar radiation are the most important factors. Your source was published in 2009. It was criticized at the time, and given what I (a non expert) picked out of it it's not hard to see why. How have things been going since then ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrumental_temperature_record#:~:text=The warmest years in the,in the period since 1850.

True.. take it to the rainbow bar if you'd like.

Yes.. whatever you do in the privacy of your own bedroom is your bus.. just keep your freaky deaky stuff away from the kids

Yes @west, how long have you been a drag queen supporter?

Billions of tax dollars and countless shaming and apology have resulted from much conjecture and very little evidence. No evidence of mass murder. I’m sure there are rare examples of extreme abuse. Abuse by today’s standards was commonplace in all schools until about 25-30 years ago, and I’m sure it was worse in boarding schools. Racism would likely impact this for the worse. I don’t think that most people working in these schools were any worse than today’s educators. I’m sure they thought they were helping provide opportunity and I’m sure the overall public sentiment at the time was supportive of this education. Illiteracy was seen as a great scourge and the conditions on many remote reserves were poor. It was misguided by today’s standards to separate kids from parents without family supporting such an education.

I don't have to compare anything to your fantasies. Sure, you don't quote ANY evidence from Fox, but that IS the likely source that is KNOWN to tell the SAME LIES that you post here. Tucker Carlson Successfully Argues Nobody Really Believes Tucker Carlson Is Reporting Facts

Freeland must provide recordings of her meetings with these unelected people. I’m going to agree with Eyeball here. Why are Canadians paying for Freeland’s Alpine vacation so she can plot the next phase of unaccountable government overreach? All government employees are there on the public dime. Really they shouldn’t be there. We certainly shouldn’t be funding these cabal meetings. Freeland can go on her time off at her expense, though I don’t think she should be permitted to attend as long as she holds public office.

Trudeau has psychopathic tendencies. Combined with his cabinet of brain-dead penguins, and the NDP enabler, they are ransacking my country. All are traitors.

I think somebody DM'd me asking for evidence that the US is seeing their wealth depleted. GDP graphs don't care about your (angry) feelings... GDP 1990-2021 https://www.statista.com/statistics/188105/annual-gdp-of-the-united-states-since-1990/

The mad scramble to disaster.

There are reports that Hunter was paying exorbitant rent at one of Joe's homes. Paying about 50 thousand per month at a home that he may have owned at one time? Pretty confusing and convoluted. Why Was Hunter Paying Joe Biden $50,000 in Monthly Rent for the House Where Classified Documents Were Found? (westernjournal.com) So Hunter was the owner of a home where classified documents were found? Who visited Hunter there? What a shell game the Biden's are running. C'mon robosmith, tell us how all of this is much ado about nothing.?

I laugh but of course a lot more is happening than that: - Global solutioning - Retooling the economy - Addressing new threats these are high-level areas that we work on today that we weren't working on 40-50 years ago...

The Atlantic says it succinctly: THE GREATEST NUCLEAR THREAT WE FACE IS A RUSSIAN VICTORY Putin’s blackmail is dangerous; its success would be even worse. … The invasion of Ukraine has been accompanied from the outset by Russian threats to use nuclear weapons. A few days after the war began, President Vladimir Putin complained that “NATO countries are making aggressive statements about our country” and warned that, as a result, Russia’s nuclear forces would be moved to “a special regime of combat duty.” No apparent change in operational readiness followed that warning. But in state-controlled news media, the almost-daily threats to use nuclear weapons have become central to Russian propaganda, seeking to inspire fear in NATO countries, discourage NATO forces from entering the war, and limit the supply of military assistance to Ukraine. This Russian propaganda has been amplified and endorsed by an unusual assortment of people in the United States, including the Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Democratic Socialists of America, and the Columbia University economist Jeffrey Sachs. The propaganda absolves Russia, blames the United States for the war, and has four main tenets: first, that a long-standing American effort to bring Ukraine into NATO poses a grave threat to Russian security. Second, that American shipments of weapons to Ukraine have prolonged the fighting and caused needless suffering among civilians. Third, that American support for Ukraine is just a pretext for seeking the destruction of Russia. And, finally, that American policies could soon prove responsible for causing an all-out nuclear war. Those arguments are based on lies. They are being spread to justify Russia’s unprecedented use of nuclear blackmail to seize territory from a neighboring state. Concerns about a possible nuclear exchange have thus far deterred the United States and NATO from providing Ukraine with the tanks, aircraft, and long-range missiles that might change the course of the war. If nuclear threats or the actual use of nuclear weapons leads to the defeat of Ukraine, Russia may use them to coerce other states. Tactics once considered immoral and unthinkable might become commonplace. Nuclear weapons would no longer be regarded solely as a deterrent of last resort; the nine countries that possess them would gain even greater influence; countries that lack them would seek to obtain them; and the global risk of devastating wars would increase exponentially. That is why the greatest nuclear threat we face is a Russian victory in Ukraine …. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/01/russias-invasion-ukraine-war-nuclear-weapon-nato/672727/

Prime Minister Trudeau is campaigning on fighting climate change because that is an issue that resonates with many voters. If you are running for office, it is more important to listen to what voters want than tell them what they should want. It is a mistake for politicians to try to convince voters they are wrong. That is not a politician's job. The politician's job is to listen to what voters want and then sort through all the contradictory information and try to deliver what the people want. That is democracy and it is something the CPC needs to heed. The trick is to make sure the stakeholders in the fossil fuel industry are looked after by helping them transition to alternatives.

And yet we made it happen. Odd, that.

Zelinsky the former actor and comedian = war profiteer Putin the former KGB colonel and dictator of 20+ years, with a long history of territorial aggression and extrajudicial domestic murder = good guy Those are some mighty fine mental gymnastics you're doing there mister. I'm not sure you're supposed to land on your face, but you do your thang.

revolution always backfires on the poor the revolution inevitably degenerates into catastrophic war which the poor are conscripted to fight

indeed if you wanted to troll somebody in the 1970's, you had to say it to their face at which point they would go and get ten of their friends, come back, and beat the snot out of you so there was vastly less trolling

I'm seeing reports of $10 million. Still seems expensive, but more plausible. For $34 million they could have included torsos and maybe even heads.

Really? Holy crap. That would mean that there is now a Republican member of Congress that Republicans won't allow to read stories to children. It's all come full circle!

There is no control of private sales in most US states. A person can buy a gun legally and sell it to anyone they want with no record or background check. No they can't. You know nothing about Canadian gun laws. Yours make a sieve look waterproof. Nine times out of ten, a Canadian buying a gun illegally is buying one smuggled from the US. The Canadian homicide rate is 2 per 100k. The US is 6.5 per 100K. Canadian firearms related death rate is 1.94 per 100K The US is 12.21 per 100K

Satan's Choice was the dominant motorcycle gang in Canada in the 1970's the HAMC did not even have a chapter in Canada until 1977 when the Popeye's MC in Montreal patched over to the Big Red Machine none the less, organized crime in Canada in the 1970's was almost entirely run by the Sicilians in Montreal the Rizzuto's are the 6th Sicilian family alongside the 5 families in New York they were totally unchallenged in 1970's, before the US government began to employ RICO

that was a different country we were born in the British Empire under the British North America Act that country was swept aside and replaced with a new Post National State with royal assent of the Canada Act on 29 March 1982 at the time, we were naive as to the consequences, not realizing right away that our country had been lost

1. Has it though? Or is it just a few exceptions? 2 populism is a monster neoliberals nurtured, if not created. But ironically much of it is a working-class backlash to neoliberal policies. 3. I think that’s what we’re starting to see now. Covid was kind of the catalyst but all this inflation is taking the wind out of the sails.

Putin is the world's greatest statesman.

They’re sick control freaks who think they deserve to micromanage populations. The WEF is an unelected mob of kleptomaniac disaster capitalists who use the cover of solving world crises to commodify every aspect of human existence in order to accumulate more power and money for themselves. Trudeau and Freeland are ardent supporters to the degree that they will foist policies on the public without a public mandate then give us a sell job. It’s gross but most people are simply too removed, gullible, exhausted, and/or disempowered to do anything about it. Make no mistake though, the fascist ESG alignment of big business with government is overriding national constitutions and sovereignty. People generally aren’t getting it and are toeing the party line by calling anyone who calls attention to the undermining of democracy a “conspiracy theorist”.

1. No 2. Prove it 3. No but it's obvious YOU support the Japanese internment camps. 4. Agreed he's not a beacon of democracy. I support the people of the Ukraine. I have a few whove moved in around me that have had over for dinner.. overall good people who are collateral damage to the military industrial complex. I don't support Zelinsky or the hundreds of billions going to fight a proxy war that should be used to fund clean drinking water at home. I think that coverage of him should be more balance and more questions should be asked about the blank cheque to fund the proxy war abroad Now that we cleared up my position, carry on

I seriously doubt that you got the looks. You most likely imagined it all. Iran nation is very united in their common goals to overthrow these barbaric mullahs and their murderous IRGC take over of their county and they especially welcome foreigners who support them. Many of the opposition leaders wearing long beard. Look at the pictures of Alireza Akhoondi (his last name means mullah is a hated name in Iran!!! but that is not his fault). He managed to bring tens of thousands to Strasburg today in front of EU Parliament by a call and his beard is likely much longer than yours. Unless you were also wearing a paramilitary clothing? Yes IRGC is indeed sending its paid mercenaries to collect info on Iranians abroad or to identify them. Then they threaten them by calling them at their homes in Canada, US or Europe and they them them if they continue with their activities they will arrest their families still in Iran or further threaten to Kill them abroad. Many opposition figures like Shapoor Bakhtiar and Fereidoon Farokhzad were assassinated by IRGC assassins and spies. The latest attempt was to kill Masih AliNejad. They have arrested many family members of opposition groups abroad and threatened them or beat them up bad or tortured them. No it is a revolution by all Iranians against a murderous regime. Most of demonstrators are women because Iranian women are most oppressed in Iran for simply being a women but more men have been killed in recent uprising. In pre-Islamic Iran which was a civilization, women had special place and women were kings however, muslin Arabs invaded like a plague and Iran has been ruined since. Pahlavi dynasty in particular Reza Shah tried to free Iran from Arab or Muslim occupation but at the end they failed NOW THE GREAT NATION OF IRAN HAS RISEN UP TO TAKE THEIR COUNTRY BACK FROM THESE MURDERS, BARBARIC ARAB LOVER OCCUPATION. On behalf of all Iranian I wish to convey our sincere thanks to you for your support and taking part in demonstrations and apologize for any possible suspicious looks but I am sure you can understand as why. They don't wish to risk the lives of their families back in Iran. This regime is so barbaric.

Ukraine stays independent and a stopper is put on Russian aggression.

As always this joker misses the point. The cbc and Desmond are calling whites racists and a threat to Blacks with no evidence or facts. I mentioned that Canada does not release stats to protect one demographic. If you want stats, take a look here: https://www.torontopolice.on.ca/homicide/mostwanted.php And refer to the US stats I provided and the stats for victims. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/new-uoft-research-sheds-light-on-homicides-1.6315931 And you are telling me go away ? You are reading my post. I'm not seeking interaction with you but you do with me.
