I don't understand this myself. Part of me says that the people who say this must feel some shame that they can't deal with. Or maybe their view of their nation is no longer unassailable which bothers them.

Uh… vaccines work, so I don’t think it would make sense to fire someone for saying so

You think a 40% of the vote win by the Cons will cause a dramatic shift in attitudes toward conservatism in Canada, so much so that “the left” will suddenly become a minority and be shunned by these people and their new-found values? You certainly are optimistic.

You first. YOU KEEP LYING about "credible link" and "the View." Must be cause you're too stupid to make a LEGITIMATE rebuttal.

What I said stands. You think it is OK for a man with the power of life or death over a 14 year old slave girl can claim sexual relations with them is consensual. I'm gob smacked that you insist on holding on to such a claim. What century do you live in?

https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/don-martin-the-trudeau-tipping-point-is-within-sight-1.6292729 CTV news no less. We've seen a number of these 'gentle prod' pieces suggesting trudeau should step down in the last several months. I think the libs and their supporters realize trudeau is past his stale date and that this could really go bad next election with the CPC getting a decent majority. And PP scares them because he knows the game and the system well enough to actually dismantle a fair bit of their advantage while he's in power, and will probably win a second term. I don't think Trudeau's ego will let him step down. And if he's going to he really has to do it by the end of this year in order to give enough time for a proper leadership convention to be held and for the new leader to have time to prepare for the next election fully. So if they're going to talk him into it, it will need to be soon. I would imagine they'll be ratcheting up the pressure

^This is what an out of his depth lDIOT always says. Content free gratuitous insults. But it's the BEST YOU GOT. Sad.

My favourite brand is that ladies product: Vichy - it collaborates with your skin

But specifically who is “pushing this narrative that white people must feel shame”? Teaching history is just teaching what happened. I think Americans should know how African Americans and Native Americans were treated. The only reason that should make a white person feel ashamed is if they harbored negative attitudes towards people of color… but they can change their attitude!

You're not coming to the conversation with clean hands when you ask :How to whine for money and play the victim card?"

Missed this. If you really don't think he's lost thousands of tanks and hundreds of aircraft or had dead soldiers - i'm afraid it's not me that's delusional The tanks and planes and gear is easy to verify and many independant sources agree with that. A dead tank tends to stick out, easy to count. There's little doubt. Same with planes, they tend to leave decent sized holes in the ground when they crash. I didn't even MENTION the warships that got sunk. I suppose you think that's western propaganda as well So there's just no debating that. It's childish to pretend otherwise. The casualty rates are another matter. They are almost certainly over estimated, bodies are easily removed and harder to count, and they tend to estimate on the high side. So they're estimating what like 130 thousand? Cut that in half and you're probably pretty darn close to the truth. Even the russians have noted their losses have been very heavy. So if you think that the russians have been getting pounded for a year with little to no losses or casualties .. LOL - give me a break

I'm sure the russians provoked him (two can play at that game )

not at all, Canada fought two World Wars to defend Judaeo-Christian civilization at the cost of over 100,000 Canadians killed

It does matter, because if it was an experiment gone awry and the Chinese covered it up then we have even more reason not to trust them than before, and certainly plenty more reason not to cooperate with them on further research projects.

not at all, the Supremacy of God is in the preamble of the Canadian Charter of Rights & Freedoms too

well I think they are already there but as Stephen Kotkin says "Russian atrocities + Ukrainian valour = Western unity" Putin's plan was to break NATO but actually, he's achieved the opposite in the First Cold War, the left was vehemently opposed to confronting the Soviets but all of sudden, the dirty Hippies have become the Hawks America could have won the Vietnam War if that had happened in 1967 America won the Second World War because the left became the Hawks the left becoming the Hawks, is a nightmare scenario for the Kremlin

It still really doesn't matter unless SARS-CoV-2 was engineered with a more malevolent purpose like depopulating Earth. In which case the usual suspects should be screaming for even greater protective measures as opposed to screeching for none whatsoever.

Wait - those are for DOGS ?!? ?

There has to be some sort of overlap...like the denta-bones you give your dogs.

I read your post fine. Your answers aren't honest and are polerized against conservatives. That is most often a liberal trait. NDP supporters also don't like conservatives but they tend to be more honest and upfront about it. What is the point in having a lengthy discussion if you don't intend to be honest about it. The CBC plays a significant role in our culture and it's elimination will bring change. Yeah - i don't really believe that to be honest. And it's pretty common for liberal supporters to pretend neutrality on forums to pretend to be a 'non partisan' viewpoint But your comments and actions don't really jive with your stated position here. Why would hiring gays or the like 'assasinate' those who supported PP from the start? The cpc has supported gays since about 2006. The first cpc candidate i volunteered for was gay, At the policy convention where gay marriage came up there was strong support for the gays. I supported PP"s campaign and I'm pro gay rights. Let me guess - you're one of those liberals who actually believes justin's propaganda that conservatives hate gays right? Sigh. Yeah - definitely not a liberal supporter. Gotcha. Well - yes and no. You see - socialists of any type are willing to allow private business PROVIDED that a) the gov't controls it to the point where they might as well own it - thus taking no risk but still exercising control and b) provided they can tax the bejeezuz out of it so that they might as well own it and again do so with no risk. So while they might be willing to allow people to have their name on the business the end result is still the same. What the liberals have been fond of us siphoning off gov't money into businesses which will do them favours or give them a benefit, either as a party or personally. They also do that with charities. etc etc. so they're socialist in the sense that they want to control and tax businesses beyond the needs of the gov't, but i guess you'd say they were just corrupt in that they put a lot of that money in their pockets one way or another,

Trump must be doing well, since his Russian bots are out cruising again like bugs on a summer night...

No, Its because the media doesn't report it in a way that gets people too worked up. The politiicans can say what they like but what the people hear is filtered by the media. For example, the people in toronto - traditional liberal supporters - listen to cbc and toronto star and similar media. Those will print fewer stories about this, only focus on it for a very short time, downplay it with the language they choose, and then print something else that is attention grabbing to distract. It's what they do, They will print next to no replies from the opposition - one or two but very brief and that's it . So nobody thinks it's that big a deal. A conservative member having a chance meeting with some disreputable germans got MORE space and MORE urgency in those papers than this did. The media is an incredibly powerful tool.

Interesting how the Trump cult just keeps digging deeper even though the head of FOX has told them they have been had by his network and its on air personalities. Very strange.

well if you're going to be a dick about things I can vote for the Liberals just to spite you as I say, I want the Liberals to be in office as the roof starts to cave in the Conservatives are fools to want to be in power now, they will just be left holding the Liberal's bag

You're an enabler of wrong behaviors. Best, Deluge

1. How would you think the culture would change ? 2. You need to divest yourself of your deep personal feelings if you want to be better at analysis IMO 3. Exactly... look at you seething at me as though I love Justin, only because I cautioned little old you about your fever dream. My question is whether you will lose interest in politics if Peter P. falls short of your (high) expectations ?

CNN and MSNBC, of course, are shilling for the left but ABC, CBS AND NBC all had headlines that weren't necessarily left, so I'll walk my initial comment back on those three.

There is a chance... a SMALL chance but a chance nonetheless.... a chance that those sources are not completely unbias.

Well i think he will simply defund the cbc and then it has to survive on it's own (or not.) So it will have to appeal to a target market and win them over to keep it's income the old fashioned way. I don't think that will make them more neutral, but if whatever changes they make don't appeal to enough people they'll die. And PP is the kind to find ways to funnel money into media companies that are right of center to offset the constant left of center media we've seen in the past. That might be through things like giving exlusive interviews, spending gov't money in advertising, etc etc. Make the right profitable and let the left languish a bit to turn back decades of having it the other way around. Oh for sure! The gov't appoints the judges to the supreme court, and most are older by the time they get There. For sure some will retire and when they do PP can appoint people that he knows are more to the right. to counter balance the judges. It's a bit of a shame - harper put a process in place that was very clever to select judges in a very neutral fashion, eliminating a lot of the political leanings. Over time it would have made for a supreme court that was based strongly on merit and bipartisan acceptance. Trudeau of course dismantled that day one and just appointed judges he likes. Absolutely. It has to be done right or companies will decide consumers are used to those prices and will just up their prices to pick up the slack, but if you do it right that can be avoided. All good ideas. Have you considered running for gov't?

Have to at least give myata credit for not making up what these articles or reports are saying. He himself is highlighting the "low confidence" and the "most likely" qualifiers attached to all of these statements. That's a welcome departure from what some of the other..."human beings" do here.

Interestingly enough there is historic precedence for that. The nazi party largely arose as a response to the communist party of germany's aggressive and often violent pushing of their agenda for example. The 'Red Wedding" incident (not game of thrones - this happened in a place called Wedding which was called red wedding because of the communist control of the area) really pushed people into letting the nazis take power specifically to address communist aggressive tactics. Often times in history the 'left' gets hostile and agressive, and the 'right' becomes radicalized in response. It CAN go the other way as well but generally doesn't. The reason for that is that when people overthrow a tyrant that controls their lives the last thing they want to replace it with is a totalitarian regime that also wants to control their lives.

US Department of Energy came to the same conclusion, though with lower confidence. That's two. The next milestone is if / when the agencies would harmonize their findings and present the common position to the Senate and the world. This is a lot better, to me and I want to think, many reasonable intelligent citizens than a mouth with no brain connected to the Central Committee table barking out the truth of the day.

the Liberals have not only successfully entrenched themselves in every office of government they have entrenched themselves as the political class itself you wont even be able to a find a candidate to be a Senator nor a Judge, who isn't actually a Liberal

I don't seek vindication I simply study the history, apply logic, then draw my conclusions I don't even want to be right, I wish I was wrong this is not the answer I wanted to find, when I dedicated myself to studying Canada, all those decades ago

I am your friend I will continue to do what I can to defend you just not in the name of Canada have a nice day

Yes. When people make good posts, I give them a like. I have even given likes to you in the past. Does that bother you too? But... Your TDS is noted. Again...I didn't have diplomatic stature and the bar was the embassy's. Pay attention. Are you issuing a threat? Something you may not know about the Canadian spirit...being that you're a Euro...threats don't go over well with us. We understand that only weasels make empty threats. So...Mr. displaced Euro...if you wanna dance...we'll dance. But if you just want to bloviate about chickenshit... You're free to cart that back to Europe. Have a warm and fuzzy day...

Just the Liberal Party lol. I don't oppose all the immigration policies, just some of the more extreme ones that aren't in the best interests of the country, which should be the primary purpose of immigration. The Liberals also called reporters racist for reporting that CSIS warned the government that one of their MP's was likely a foreign agent of the Chinese government. They'll say lots of stuff to defend their agenda.

No, you are entirely concerned with who is governing Canada. How Canada is governed never changes, from the top, secretively and according to the demands imposed by self-interest. No political party can help themselves and they literally have no choice. If you were honestly more concerned about how you wouldn't be wasting all your time and energy on who.

The PM appoints the Gov General. You make a good point. Is the monarch really a reliable check on our government anymore? I do think the Senate plays a necessary role.

You probably can’t explain why you disagree with anything that I say, because if you could, you would. I want to learn and grow. I’m happy to have my mind changed and to be refuted by a solid argument. Unfortunately most posters on here simply don’t know history and can’t support the views they put forth. I’d actually like to hear from you what it is that you think I promote, because I don’t think you know. If you did, you might actually agree with much of what I have to say. Dougie and I had brutal disagreements in the past, but I saw his true character when our government started mistreating people during the pandemic. It became pretty clear who were decent and who were cowardly in those discussions. Anyone who has been on this forum more than several months knows that I have spoken up for Canada and its policy differences from the US and other countries until I was blue in the face, but over the past couple of years Canada has entered a very strange and worrisome place. We’ve come to accept a whole range of policies passively because we’ve been trained not to think for ourselves, but rather to let government decide how we should think and live. Instead of free speech and pluralism we have compelled speech and unacceptable views. We have been taught without clear evidence that Canada is genocidal, actively so, and we’ve been told to accept a range of beliefs that run counter to people’s religious and/or ethical and/or philosophical and/or political beliefs. Canada is now one of the most permissive countries on assisted suicide, abortion, “gender affirmation”, and hard drugs. We’re also heavily involved in a new proxy war. We also have a government that enacts martial law and freezes bank accounts of political opponents largely due to government incompetence. My concerns are not with the Canadian people and this beautiful land, but rather with how it is being governed. Canada has shifted radically to the left and it’s arguable that it has has entered totalitarian territory.

I could prove it in court based on your many statements here. That is the past. I wouldn't be found innocent in court if I slapped my wife just because I used to hug her everyday before that. You speak just like a Russian or Chinese government agent trying to sow discord. We have no proof you were a soldier, your arguments stand on their own merits and claims of service don't exonerate you from them.

I would not kill nor die for a cat for my dogs however, I would go down swinging with all my might

PP will make no significant changes, unless you soak in identity politics...

Wikipedia is pretty good for a lot of subjects but I'll pass when it comes to politics. If you watched the link I provided, you will see that one of the founders agrees with me. It also showed how many of the "editors" identify as proud socialists. Conservatives are far more likely to be edited out on Wikipedia. That is a FACT.

most people here are totally ignorant of their own history you have to forgive them : they were not raised to know we are privileged to know the noble story of our people in this pseudo Communist Post National wasteland nec aspera terrent

I agree with this patriotic conservative. TRUMP 2024!!!!!!!!!!

You made the claim they carry "the same message," so the burden is on you to prove that. Once you post evidence, I will tear it apart.

Justin Trudeau would like a word with you....

Canada's official sport is Lacrosse. That's also a violent sport. MMA, the ultimate modern gladiator sport, is very popular in Canada. Canada has a Football League. Canada is pretty good at Rugby internationally. It's unfair to single out hockey.
