Presenting incorrect information is kind of your thing, though, isn't it I hope we do learn something from this pandemic, like having an actual plan supported by science, clear messaging of that science to the masses, consistency in medsaging. I'd like to see a lot more pushback against people who spread misinformation such as "it's not that bad, nobody except old people are dying, deaths are being overstated", etc. Spreading this kind of hooey puts people at risk. On the other hand, pandemics will all be different in how fast they spread, how deadly they'll be and who the primary victims might be, so maybe some degree of chaos is inevitable at the beginning. As for lockdowns, social distancing and mask wearing, those measures reduced the spread of not just Covid, but other viruses as well, and saved lives. Left unchecked, Covid would have killed many more people, as it did in the States among demographics who bought into the misinformation I noted above and refused to abide by public health advice.

The University of Saskatchewan Faculty Association were discussing the expulsion of a student because he was gay. This was in the mid-1970's. The discussion was pretty one-sided. They decided the student had to be expelled. The President of the Faculty association advised the meeting that if the student had to leave, "then I have to go too. I'm gay." The student was admitted without further objection. He was Doug Wilson. He passed away in 1992. Every year, the University held the annual Doug Wilson awards as tribute. It is amazing how fast things change. I remember people losing their jobs because somebody said they were "communists." Then the pole reversed and it was the anti-communists who were blacklisted. It goes back and forth ad infinitum. Why can't we just respect people for who they are? Like the courageous Professor Peter Millard who put himself out there on the precipice for a student.

So these 15-Minute cities are springing up and in the works all over the world. Edmonton's proposed City Plan hinging on creation of 15-minute communities as city grows toward two million people | Edmonton Journal I also saw a picture someone posted of proposed Ottawa 15-minute city, and I'm sure there are more that we don't know about yet. Another article I saw about the Edmonton ones, said it would not be made "mandatory." Of course, we were also told that vaccination would not be made mandatory and that children would not be subject to vaccine mandates and a host of other things - frog in a pot of boiling water style. For me, I'm about 15 minutes to work. So basically I would be allowed to go from work to home and no further. No visiting my daughter who lives 2 hours away, no visiting my grandbabies who are 5 hours away. No calling up a friend and saying, "Hey, let's meet for lunch". Thoughts?

Government employees regularly express their political views on their own time. Sometimes they even run for political office. And I've seen lawn signs on the lawns of people I know are public servants. In any event, I wasn't asking so much about employees as members of a professional association.

and we haven't even started talking about 5G or the lizard people!

Hey bulIshlt artist… YOU said Fox News has higher ratings than CBS. Didn’t you say that? Yes or No? So I pulled the Neilson ratings, and you can see for yourself that CBS has higher prime time ratings than Fox News. Nielsen ratings are the ratings which TV advertising buy-ins are based upon. They are the gold standard of accuracy.

This all sounds very '2030 Agenda-ish' to me. The bit they left out is how the Global Resetter investment class like Black Rock and Vanguard have been buying up the suburbs while Gates and others by up farm and ranch land. My personal suspicion is this is what the push to go electric with cars is about. Electric and driverless - that's what cars in the 15 minute cities will look like. While Gates and his buddies zip about the vacant countryside, choking down porter house steaks, cuddling city girls all too willing to do anything to get out. They all joke about how they've got the plebs in the cities eating bugs. There's the conspiracy theory for you in its complete form. And I don't care who doesn't like it. Every day it gets a little more real. Drip, drip, drip.

That's the thing about authoritarians. They believe it is their god-given right to trample and take other people's rights away for whatever excuse they might have in their tiny little minds. They convince themselves its all for the greater good. Didn't we hear somewhere Chairman Mao thought the same way?

Imagine what they've already done with the microchips in the vaccines, or what will happen when the alien vampires from Zeta Reticuli finally show themselves.

A: The mandates are gone. Get over it. B: Covid is not a respiratory virus, it is a vascular virus that can attack any organ in the body and it will be years before we learn the long term effects.

Goddess' take on this article falls in with that logic. Where did anyone, anywhere, even remotely hint at restricting travel in this article? Municipalities have been trying to get their downtown cores converted to livable/walkable communities for decades, and this is the same sort of civic planning. Of course it's hard to read anything these days without channeling your OUTRAGE and seeing an AGENDA in it. ?

Do you guys check your closets and look under your bed before you go to sleep at night? You turn a proposal that would make it long commutes to work less necessary or not having to drive distances for services during their daily lives into a Warsaw Ghetto.

They’re going to lock you in?

Geez, it is the new suburbs. No one is preventing or trying to prevent travel. All they are trying to do is make things available within 15 minutes of your residence. Just a new name for the "Burbs" LOL

My thought is that this is a trend, just like suburbs were, just like cities were... and a reaction to problems of the past. Right now the problem is commuting and people spending too much of their time doing it. It's still a private function to develop housing, and a fully public process to plan cities so this amounts to a proposal. If it doesn't fly, then it doesn't. And if you want to live somewhere far away and drive a long way to work who would stop you. You are always subject to the whims of developers of planners, even those from decades ago. As for being "allowed" to travel - no, thats not what this is about. To prevent people from travelling permanently would require a sea change in legislation, and probably an authoritarian government. There's no need to be paranoid about this stuff, unless you enjoy that.

The covid vaccines are not harmful and help prevent serious illness. You've been consuming too much misinformation.

Your 100 % right , your right and I'm wrong i had the man confused with another, what do i do now get on my knee's and beg for forgiveness. Thank you for improving my slack and idle body...

While testifying under oath at the Fox Dominion trial, Fox news Sean Hannity admitted, under oath, that he never believed trump's claims of election fraud. Yet, that didn't stop the Fox News host from featuring fraud proponents with wild, unproven allegations on his show. as I've said here on many occasions, there is absolutely no evidence of voter fraud widespread enough to of changed the elections outcome, nor any evidence of voter fraud viable enough to be substantiated in a court of law. yet most Republicans, many on this forum, to this day still push this unsubstantiated narrative as if it were gospel.... It's the height of stupidity. https://www.google.com/url?q=https://thehill.com/homenews/3785645-sean-hannity-admits-in-deposition-he-didnt-believe-trump-voter-fraud-claims/&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwjv5Ym8ydn8AhUHLUQIHUphD94QFnoECAgQAg&usg=AOvVaw09fBfbCdA4L62oxVHiIGeY

Imagine an Edmonton of two million people where you can live inside a “15-minute district,” with easy access to everything you need by any mode of transportation. Restaurants, parks, grocery stores and retail stores all within reach inside your own bubble within the larger city. For those constant whiners that can't even read and whose minds are a conspiracy of their own. Nowhere does it say you can't own a car or your not allowed to visit your daughter, those are delusions of your mental impairment. Not any great conspiracy, this has been planning policy in many places for decades under the name 'neighbourhoods'.

EV’s will require tolls or mileage charges to make up for lost fuel tax revenues.

Those beans aren’t going to sprout into a beanstalk, jack

indeed, if you're going to go Armour, it's better to be the officer otherwise you are just a grease monkey who serves the machine really only the officer knows what is going on and gets to employ tactics but you don't want to go Canadian Army, they barely have any tanks if you want to be a tank officer actually getting to do anything, you'd have to go US Army Russia is an Artillery Army Canada is an Infantry Army America is the Calvary Army

So far? It's been more than two years. But you know what? You belong to a cult. So naturally your mental faculties are "askew". That, and you were a halfwit to begin with..... Just keep spouting your moronic support for all things Donald. It's all you're worth.

This means - to all on the thread I'm discussing - I am 100% wrong about "signing away your rights". But they can fire you for breach of contract as TB said.

I think that freedom of speech is for people outside of their workplace. Pretty basic.

1. Ok - that sounds like what I meant, even if I stated it wrong legally. Thanks.

@ Army Guy, further to this, you are also in the same place as any nut you've posted a like or a thanks to that's repeated similar nonsense. You folks seem oblivious to how this stuff follows you around and more importantly why.

The little dog laughed to see such fun. Do try to catch the dish. it's running away with the spoon.

How the Hell did you psychos find a way to divert a thread about Tucker mocking M&M's going woke to some deluded fantasy about American patriots wanting to crucify Christ.

Hmmm.. -Blackrock controls about 10 trillion in assets -Bill Gates owns about 200,000 acres of US farmland -Chrystia Freeland is the deputy prime minister of a G7 country. -Pharmaceuticals with monopolies on various medications ie insulin -Media empire... But nah NO influence WHATSOEVER lol

Might be one of their smartest decisions in the last years

After the first year of the pandemic I think we did pretty good, besides some of the unnecessary vaccine mandates. I think we can manage things better for the young people that had schools locked down etc. I think we understate the negative health impacts of lockdowns, like increase in obesity, heart disease, mental health issues etc.

1. If the "concern" is about something that almost never happens, it's dishonest to pretend it's a huge problem. 2. Nobody has ever explained why they aren't concerned about F to M persons in men's spaces. The likelihood of a man being victimized by a woman is roughly the same as a woman being victimized by a male. The reason we assume it's a man victimizing a woman is because our society doesn't really give men space to be victims. 3. You do not seem to understand propaganda. There's a pretty powerful Christian presence (in the States especially) who are happy to disseminate and support any argument that marginalizes transgender people. The more people they can get to repeat those arguments - even non-Christian people, the better. If they can influence society to marginalize transgender and roll back any rights or privileges they may currently have, they're only too happy to do that. I don't think they're succeeding. 4. Whether people who've had the benefit of testosterone for some portion of their life have an unfair advantage over people who haven't had that advantage is (imo) a reasonable question. Insisting that M to F people can't go into female spaces because 1) they're perverts and might rape somebody and/or 2) the women/children will be traumatized if they catch sight of male genitalia isn't a reasonable argument.

Has nothing to do with Brexit and then a long succession of goof leaders and turmoil, huh? I wonder which UK papers you're reading...

That's not election fraud, and I believe the mystery was solved in S10E08 of Seinfeld.

And they also engender fear/hatred of the West by using "we must protect women/children from the immorality of the Westerner". During the second world war, Japanese were portrayed as threatening to women/children. Hitler's propaganda against Jews included the same theme of 'protecting women/children'. And we see it again now - "We must protect the women and children from the evil transgender (male)!"

It’s not true most of the time. The vast majority of rapes are committed by men. The physical strength of most men over most women enters heavily into the equation. Can this fear feed Islamaphobia? Yes. We also know that many Islamic countries sanction violence against women either by permitting it in marriages or meting it out in state punishment such as public stoning. You’re holding up the rare exceptions of female violence as the counter-example, so it won’t garner much concern. I do agree that such exceptions exist and aren’t okay.

Here's the video: Here's a picture of George Soros: These are not the same people, but then ranting about Klaus Schwab/WEF in the same breath as George Soros is pretty on-brand for the conspiracy crowd. At least make the basic effort of knowing who the hell you're even talking about, man.

I've never gotten an answer when I've asked why it's always about "perverted men" in women's area and never "perverted women" in men's areas. There are predatory females who go after boys and men, just as there are predatory men who go after women and girls. And if a girl might be traumatized by seeing male genitalia, why wouldn't boys be traumatized by seeing female genitalia? The answer, of course, is that women/girls and their "safety" is used to engender fear and hatred - whether against Black people in the States, or Japanese during the war, or against transgender now.

.If a transgender m to F has the process completed ( penis ) removed then by all means jump in the shower scrub away.... But if you still have a dangler, then you should be showering in the dangler shower...or wait until your at home...Saying your a women does not make you a women, and it is not like we can tell some A$$Hat thats just saying he is a women just to get access to naked women...so all it take is for one bad apple and it is another game right...

Yes. Cite requested already...

How many people in nursing have to lose their jobs for not taking harmful & useless drugs, and for voicing reasonable opinions? Leftists supported people's right to wear political slogans in their workplace and to kneel during the anthem, how is it that they are suddenly in favour of taking a woman's job away just for voicing her own opinions? The hypocrisy is visible from space.

Go ahead and emphasize YOUR STUPIDITY, AGAIN. AKA, intellectual bankruptcy. AKA, nothing with which to legitimately refute what I wrote. LMAO Obviously you don't even understand it.

Indecent acts are permitted if you're a protected class in Canada. At least, child porn is still an offense and not just a sexual orientation.

Also important to point out that without Al Gore all this climate hysteria doesn't happen. If you want to pretend what's happening as far as the effects of climate on society is only about the science go for it but observance of the obvious tells us most of it is political.

Well, if you weren't such a halfwit, you wouldn't feel the need to spout your incessant whataboutisms. It's as if it's all you're worth.

This thread is about how George Santos and how he lied about every aspect of his past in order to win a congressional seat. Please stay on topic. Or are you just too f__king stupid?

I just love it when MAGA cultist fools try and tell me what I want you to believe.... You can wrap all your speculated "dirty doggery" with a bow.... It won't change the fact that there is absolutely no evidence of voter fraud widespread enough to of changed the elections outcome, nor any evidence of voter fraud viable enough to be substantiated in a court of law.

Of course I do. We'd have had no pandemic if we chopped up Covid Karens into tiny pieces and sacrificed all their generations in ozone furnaces, advanced on the Freedumb rallies with flamethrowers and ripped babies from unvaxxed mothers to raise in laboratories. But you're right, what would a Judge know about law? He's just a Judge. and we're plumbers and truck drivers and welders!

Cripes You've got to be on bad drugs. Way the hell out there.
