Considering the mentality and knowledge level of some Floridians who post here, this is not surprising.

Well, if one supports a bakery's right to refuse making a wedding cake for a gay couple, they can't really be critical of this bank.

Interesting that you wouldn't mention that person's name or what they did. I wonder why? All you say is that they served, as if that makes him a saint or even excuses his active participation in an anti government group. Seems like this may be about the founder of Diagolon? Described as a right wing violent extremist group based on overthrow? Not sure if this compares to Omar Khadr who actually renounced violence and was praised by Justice Minister Peter McKay for doing so. So if you have sympathy for one terrorist, why not have it for a non terrorist? Personally, I like Canada. I don't agree with supporting active terrorist groups. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I think you're confused. What I have talked about and posted medical studies for is the lipid nanoparticles in the inoculations. Not nano-chips. The only time micro or nano chips has been mentioned on my thread, has been by you. And I've had to ask you politely 3 times now to stop doing it.

Yeah, I know. Five years ago, a retard who made such a stupid statement would likely be laughed at and maybe duct taped to a tree. Not today. https://www.theblaze.com/news/not-all-students-who-menstruate-are-female-democrat-state-rep-tells-fellow-legislators?utm_source=theblaze-dailyAM&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Daily-Newsletter__AM 2023-01-19&utm_term=ACTIVE LIST - TheBlaze Daily AM 'Not all students who menstruate are female,' Democratic state rep tells fellow legislators. Fed up folks reacting to statement have an absolute field day. A Democratic Minnesota state representative — arguing against an amendment to a bill that would provide funding for menstrual products in student restrooms — told fellow legislators last week that “not all students who menstruate are female," the National Desk reported. I would encourage the committee to vote no on this amendment for a few reasons: practical, financial, social, emotional. First, there are a lot of schools that are moving towards gender-neutral bathrooms, and if we add "female" we might become obsolete very quickly. Second, not all students who menstruate are female – we need to make sure that all students have access to these products.These students who are not female, who menstruate, face a greater stigma and barrier to asking for these products, and so providing them in an easily accessible place in all student bathrooms is particularly important for those students. Here is the delusional bee itch spewing this psychobabble. Okay. EARTH TO RETARDS, (those who attended Blue State schools and don't know their asses from a hole in the ground. 1. If you have a PENIS, you are NOT a woman. 2. If you can get PROSTATE CANCER you are not a woman. 3. If you are able to give birth, you are NOT a MAN. 4. If you have monthly periods, YOU ARE NOT A MAN. 5. Yes, there are delusional and sick individuals who THINK they are another gender. They should be given psychiatric help, but IN NO WAY SHOULD COLLEGES OR ANY OTHER PUBLIC INSTITUTION HAVE TO CHANGE THE SIGNS ON THE BATHROOMS TO MOLLIFY THESE LOONIES' DELUSIONS. Minnesota. Another blue state with inferior schools.

The real problem is that Canada has signed onto this group's agenda, making us part of an experiment by radical "progressives" which ignorant Canadians know nothing about. We re-elected a total loser.

Freedom of speech = beging charged with crimes and being dangerous (with firearms)? Hello wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremy_MacKenzie_(activist) He's also a member of a far-right extremist group. And this guy went into a local Nova Scotia business and waved a handgun around apparently: https://globalnews.ca/news/8593064/ns-man-ottawa-convoy-protest-firearms-charge/ So if I were Scotiabank I would also close all business associations with him and ban him from all banking locations, although I would kinda fear being shot up in retaliation. As for the Omar Khadr comparisons...sure I wouldn't be in business with him either.

This is how you know you're winning - they start getting foaming-at-the-mouth mad.

Did you bother to read any of the links posted about this guy?

Why is it you global warming types are always so arrogant and so certain everyone else is some kind of deluded fool who only watches FOX? Do you really think there are no honest, legitimate reasons for questioning this moronic plan? Like: 1: Rare earths are RARE! They make a mess of the environment to mine and process and there aren't that many of them to begin with. You have to drive an EV car for tens of thousands of kilometers to come out ahead of an internal combustion engine in CO2 emissions. But again, they're RARE. So if everyone switches to EVs there aren't going to be enough of them to make the batteries. Which, btw, we will have no way of recycling. 2: Batteries need recharging most often in cold places - like here. We are not going to be able to build the infrastructure to do that in ten years. How do people who live in apartments recharge their cars every night? They can't. Nor will landlords or condo owners have the money to put huge new amounts of wiring through the walls to provide that ability. 3: Even if we had the ability to build and maintain the infrastructure, which, among other things, requires a ton of electricians we don't have, we don't have the power to supply that many EV cars. And again, this is CANADA, the place where you need a minimum of ten years of hearings, studies, reports, meetings and legal challenges to put up anything bigger than a garden shed. You think we're going to build enough new power supply in ten years to supply all that?! Seriously!? It takes ten years just to get permission to build a single power plant! 4: The cost of doing all that, even presuming we can, will be absolutely MASSIVE, and will, among other things, result in much more expensive electricity, driving more manufacturing out of Canada and further impoverishing us. And it will make absolutely ZERO difference in the rate of global warming. None.

Banks are also prohibited from supporting illegal activities like terrorism and money laundering. Poor Jeremy I guess... Don't cry too hard for him, he's got that freedom that the rest of us lack and a clean mind I'm sure.

I'm surprised you didn't find out more about this guy before you posted. That took me all of five minutes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremy_MacKenzie_(activist) https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/jeremy-mackenzie-leader-of-the-controversial-diagolon-movement-arrested-on-canada-wide-warrant-1.6599930 https://www.antihate.ca/jeremy_mackenzie_tells_followers_accelerate_race_war_america_violence_against_journalists_parliament_livestream https://globalnews.ca/news/8593064/ns-man-ottawa-convoy-protest-firearms-charge/ Should the guy be debanked? I don't know but he isn't just another vet.

Yup this is the unholy alliance between corporations and government. It’s called fascism. The politicians and corporate leaders draw up “good citizen” ESG manifestos then make citizens comply. Free speech? Constitutional rights? Nope. They’re setting their own rules behind closed doors without a mandate from citizens and consumers. That’s what the WEF does best. Add digital currency and a social credit system and banks become extensions of totalitarian government. Already underway in China and Freeland is licking her lips.

THAT is the heart of the lie. Every time you people make one of your BS claims, we prove that it’s false. And instead of trying to prove that you’re telling the truth, you pivot to some other false claim. NOWHERE, ANYWHERE, in the entire United States, was even one single precinct’s results found to be fraudulent. Forget about a state’s results being wrong… forget about a county being wrong, or a small town… you ldiots couldn’t even overturn the results of one single precinct anywhere in the entire nation. It’s all bullshlt, you’re full of bullshlt, DT is full of bullshlt, and Joe Biden is President. Har-dee-har-har… you guys got your asses kicked, and we kicked your asses again in the midterms. How do you like dem apples, losers?

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

More to the point is when are you guys (tiny minority with loudspeakers to convince themselves they're not) going to accept reality? Like major sales of Cdn lithium ore that didn't even exist as a marketable product a few years ago, battery plants, tons of tower jobs and electrical workers...

We are talking about a major re-think for so many things right now in our country. I don't see how you can belittle the significance of that. If you want to ignore it, up to you. The government says Canada needs a radical transformation. Socially, economically. I guess it comes down to whether you have confidence in our government carrying out these kind of changes. I do not.

1. International cooperation? How horrible. 2. And yet they're all there too. Radical since when? The league of nations?

What we don't know is if the government played any active role in this de-banking, or what was in the letter the bank's head office was supposed to send him. While I can understand the bank's position I feel at the very least they owe him an explanation.

What's the radical part? Why are we bogey manning this thing after years of conservatives attending?

These words don’t stop you from being a bigot. It’s a bigoted, ignorant view. Some bigots insist that the n-word is ok…. Some bigots refuse to acknowledge the reality of gay marriage. Different strokes for different bigots.

It appears I was too harsh in my criticism of Premier Smith. Compared to U.S. Rep. George Santos, she doesn't look so bad.

People who arm themselves and plot to overthrow the government and kill police are terrorists. Nobody has changed the definition on that.

We're not too far from Thought Police days where government will use fear as a tool to extinguish any opposing opinions. Tech companies have already made George Orwell's prediction come true.

i assume you have some scientific documentation to support that line of ignorance. Then again, You were born 12 years ago and probably don't know any more than the usual fairy tales you spew on a daily basis here.

Before I moved in 2016, I heated the home with natural gas and kept my receipts for home heating and auto gas and it worked out to about $300 a year for carbon taxes. So from the time they started the carbon taxes in B.C. in 2008 to 2016, it would be about $300 times 8 equal to about $2400 in carbon taxes. There was no rebate at that time as far as I know. As a retired person, $2400 is a significant amount or money that was taken from us. For what? There was no decrease in CO2 emissions in B.C. It was just a tax grab by the BC Liberal Party which is just a lighter version of the NDP. The people are so dumb they seem to say nothing about the taxes in B.C. I hope they don't believe the government is going to save them from climate change because it is not going to happen. We should be preparing for extreme weather such as heat waves and heavy rain or snow.

The FACT is, Joe never said he beat up Corn Pop and someone (Fox?) LIED to you. YOUTUBE starting ~4:25 Joe tells the story of APOLOGIZING to Corn Pop and not fighting him because he apologized. Now it's your turn to apologize for LYING about Joe. Bet you don't have as much class as Joe.

You don't have to take them seriously, there are plenty of other sources.

I dont take the group "anti hate" seriously.. a leftist looney tune organization. I know he was arrested.. tho I'm sure there's many of folks sitting in cells who have bank accounts.

I guess opposing the leftist lunatics is now a crime..

Exactly the same thing, it is refusing to provide service for ideological reasons. In this case it is also for criminal reasons.

Didn’t one person try to kill and the other didn’t? I guess real terrorists are handed millions in taxpayer dollars while others with anti-government views are de-platformed. It’s wrong to have banks become a branch of the correctional system for actions that aren’t even crimes. I guess we don’t care about free speech or rights anymore. Political disagreement is enough to warrant destroying reputations and stripping people of rights.

What is there to discuss, Liberals record says it all 3 attempts and 3 failures, and we are embarking on the 4 th try, when is the left going to let it go, it is time to try something else...But here is the rub, the left has alrerady made up it's mind on conservative climate policy, and we have not even try it out , just the very words of Conservative climate policy gives you warts on your johnston.... You guys have had 3 trys , it is time to move out of the way...and you wonder why no one wants to discuss it... becasue it is going to fail... wait until spring and we will see what the price of fuel is and you tell me if your going to continue to support this clown show... The fact of opening up our foissil fuel sector, getting our LP over seas and taking off coal fire plants is a winning short term strategy, getting BC to stop exporting coal a winning strategy, replacing our coal fire plants and finish the job we started, replacing our diesel plants with LP plants or Nuke plants, replacing our northern fossil fuel plants with SMR is winning strategy. and one day that miracle everyone is waiting for will appear and replace it all....Turning off the taps now, sounds like that crazy green party policy... sure would be an interesting winter though..

But you figure it out for yourself based on the information and data that is available. From the media. The same media that was given advance knowledge of the raid on Trump’s home. And photos were released of the classified documents/envelopes all nicely fanned out. And this same media was fine with not being told of Biden’s classified document stash(apparently more found just yesterday) when they were discovered just before the mid term election. if the same scenario had happened to Trump it would have been leaked and covered 24/7. This glaring lack of integrity in news reporting is lost on you because you’re brainwashed. By that media who has been cheer leading the liberal side of things since at least the 90’s. So you have no discernment in these matters because just like Pavlov’s dog, as soon as you hear that bell(or the name Trump in this case), you start drooling. To prove my point, this thread is not about Trump, and I listed his name in a group of politicians to make a point about lying. And your Trump Derangement Syndrome, conditioned by the media, has been acting up ever since.

No we do not. There’s no clear evidence that a climate crisis is imminent nor that human behaviour is causing or can avert a climate crisis. Destroying our living standards on the basis of these assumptions is stupid and irresponsible.

Good God, bcscapper is such a suck. That premier is very moderate and progressive on social issues. I’m so sick of hearing how “scary” teddy bears are.

Right, but we're talking about WashPo's lie.

If you have ever looked at any media that isn't a whiney anti-climate rag, you probably don't know that ALL the auto manufacturers are already converting their main production to EVs and hybrids. Major countries and US states already have these target deadlines so if you want a legitimate anti-Trudeau rant you should be criticizing him for being so late to the game. Look at some legacy media and you'll see gas prices are rising again and predicted to hit even higher levels than last time, and use your head to decide if this is a last gasp gouging effort by oil companies or will you believe some market mumbo-jumbo is causing prices to rise as demand falls. How many new refineries are under construction? Why are they buying up alt-energy and rare earth stocks? Do the oil companies know something you refuse to acknowledge? Are the auto makers building EVs because they're forced to, or because they can make money at it? The transition is happening whether you like it or not, and assistance to deal with that is a positive response.

I've given you plenty of evidence and you just make EXCUSES for ignoring it. Have you read ANY of the SWORN testimony by Republicans working in Trump's WH from the Jan 6th Final Report yet? I didn't think so. Because you don't WANT to know the truth about what happened.

If there’s a credible allegation of fraud against Dominion, I have yet to see it.

Yes I agree, this person suing is a huge jerk. Unfortunately anyone can sue anyone. And here it acts like a tactic that also will make other politicians more fearful of speaking out about similar corruptions. It's pretty sad how corrupt our politics are. It affects our health, environment, economy, housing markets, foreign policy... everything we could imagine. It's a meta issue.

Hmm, let me get back to you on the one…

"The lady doth protest too much . . . "

The problem with a PR system is we could end up with a Monkeykangorillapig government. Nothing would get done. Mind you, question time would be prime time viewing.

Don’t forget racialized-only job postings. Racism dressed up with illogical rhetoric.

None of this is an impossible puzzle. Most functional democracies in the world have PR or mixed system. Only a handful of dinosaurs remain mostly in far back waters nobody really understands or cares about. Also can be the main reason they were able to make it this far.

They aren't the best at all. In fact, Florida's #22 ... Far from the "best" as you so foolishly claim. https://www.wane.com/news/top-picks/u-s-falling-behind-ranking-the-most-and-least-educated-states/

"A global network of more than 500 knowledgeable and experienced scientists and professionals in climate and related fields have the honor to address to Your Excellencies the attached European Climate Declaration, for which the signatories to this letter are the national ambassadors. The general-circulation models of climate on which international policy is at present founded are unfit for their purpose. Therefore, it is cruel as well as imprudent to advocate the squandering of trillions of dollars on the basis of results from such immature models. Current climate policies pointlessly and grievously undermine the economic system, putting lives at risk in countries denied access to affordable, reliable electrical energy. We urge you to follow a climate policy based on sound science, realistic economics and genuine concern for those harmed by costly but unnecessary attempts at mitigation Here are the specific points about climate change highlighted in the letter: 1 Natural as well as anthropogenic factors cause warming. 2. Warming is far slower than predicted. 3. Climate policy relies on inadequate models. 4. CO2 is not a pollutant. It is a plant food that is essential to all life on Earth. Photosynthesis is a blessing. More CO2 is beneficial for nature, greening the Earth: additional CO2 in the air has promoted growth in global plant biomass. It is also good for agriculture, increasing the yields of crops worldwide. 5. Global warming has not increased natural disasters. 6. Climate policy must respect scientific and economic realities." There Is No Climate Emergency, Say 500 Experts in Letter to the United Nations | American Enterprise Institute - AEI Trudeau listens only to the U.N. who just made a demand at WEF in Davos that the world must stop using fossil fuels. This is the kind of thing the Church of Trudeau worships and follows blindly. The UK has made a complete mess of their country and economy by following this climate alarmism madness. Why should Canadians have this same kind of insanity imposed on them by the actor in Ottawa. There are countless reasons why he cannot be believed. He just said his "just transition" will help Canada, which could not be further from the truth. It will be a total disaster for millions of Canadians.

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”.
