  1. Well, thank goodness you're here. The two silly medical examiners who pronounced Floyd's death a homicide and identified the cause as cardiopulmonary compression wasted all that time and money on med school. They should have just called a mall cop!

  2. Yes, the Court is bound by the Charter, but the Charter is only so many words. It's the Supreme Court Justices that interpret those words. Not an easy job I would think especially when rights conflict. Good post!

  3. My son is a cop, he says what Chauvin did was totally over the top. That procedure is only meant to be used for a very short period, not nine minutes. Chauvin also had a history of excessive force.

  5. Not specifically a law. But abortion is legal and funded by the government health care system because it is not illegal either. Canada is one of the countries with no laws or regulations about abortion. That means the unborn persons have no protection.

  8. The Canadian government is already focused on helping Ukraine. We have provides arms and ammunition and money to buy more munitions that we cannot provide. Mr. Poilievre is inferring he will be able to do more, but short of tranferring the rest of the Canadian Forces equipment, I'm not sure what else he can do? I don't think he does either. But the point is, Mr. Poilievre is saying Canada is forcing a gas tax on the Ukraine. That is not true. Ergo, it is a lie. Going back over his past statements, there is a pattern of dishonesty. He is more interested in saying anything to get a vote than using his talant to improve the country. He bangs on about the gas tax, yet he knows that raising the tax would be more effective in giving consumers the incentive to reduce wasting fossil fuels. I will give him credit for promising to build nuclear power plants, but can I trust him to follow through? I have not made up my mind as to how I am going to vote, but Mr. Poilievre is going to have to convince me he has matured and will put the country ahead of his own ambition. He has a lot to prove.

  10. The Ukraine already has a carbon tax. It is a requirement for entry into the EU. That is part of the public record. Mr. Poilievre should know that already. By attacking the Ukrainian free trade deal on this sperious point, he is being dishonest. He is placing his own political ambition above the needs of both Canadians and Ukrainians. There again, he is saying that Canada is not already suppling munitions to Ukraine to the best of our ability. That is untrue.

  13. So you believe that because Floyd said "I cant breathe, that proves he wasn't being choked... You are demonstrably mistaken. We're you special Ed? https://www.google.com/url?q=https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DRGr6WOIkHyw&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwj1-qrYqeKCAxUbIUQIHaGFD1MQtwJ6BAgIhttps://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.wsj.com/video/i-cant-breathe-video-shows-george-floyd-pinned-down-by-police/79888134-045F-4175-A25A-A97FA6E50ED2&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwj1-qrYqeKCAxUbIUQIHaGFD1MQtwJ6BAgLEAE&usg=AOvVaw1CDszCdt9FtxW2Z_7iaIUAEAE&usg=AOvVaw3NnX0f4TtjU6rKQewZUASO

  15. I have been spending the last few weeks deciding how I will vote in the next federal election. I have been seriously considering voting for the CPC and Pierre Poilievre so I've been doing some research into the leader. Mr. Poilievre is clearly a gifted campaigner. In every federal election, he has carried his riding with a majority. That is quite a feat. Were he not in politics, he would no doubt be a successful stand-up comedian. President Carter was also an impressive campaigner but a less than impressive President. Campaigning is very different from governing. In considering Mr. Poilievre, I base my decision on his own words and actions. Pierre Poilievre was President of the Progressive Conservative club on Campus at the University of Calgary. I was Vice- President of the Progressive Conservative Student Federation at U-Vic so I can relate to that experience. My feeling is that Pierre never matured beyond campus politics. He has been laser focused on his ambition to be Prime Minister. My first reservation is that he has a difficult relationship with the truth. His recent attack on the Ukraine free trade agreement as an example. More damaging in my eyes is his persistant lack of judgement. In his youth, he backed Stockwell Day, a man who claimed the world was only 6000 years old and demonstrated through his actions that he was not very bright. Yet, Pierre thought he was worth supporting. Okay, that was a youthful error in judgement. However, as an adult, an MP in the CPC caucus, at the very time his leader, Prime Minister Harper, was delivering an apology for the First Nations residential scool system, Pierre was speaking out on radio undercutting the Prime Minister, and had to apologize the next day for "remarks that were hurtful and wrong." (Hansard). When he was a cabinet minister, he violated Campaign Finance Law by wearing a CPC logo when announcing a child benifit program and saying the the benifit was from the "Conservative" government. He has made several bonehead promises about supporting bitcoin and politically interferring in the Bank of Canada, even firing the Governor. He is advocating converting 37000 government office buildings into residential housing with no thought about the cost of the renovations or where he will find the trades people. His promises contradict each other. On the one hand, he speaks of cutting "red tape", yet on the other hand he talks about accountability. Cutting red tape is fertalizer for the growth of corruption and fraud. Regulations exist to protect the consumer and the taxpayer. He indicates he would lower inflation, but at the same time he says he would lower interest rates. That is contradiction. He talks about cutting spending, yet so many of his promises will cost even more money. While I acknowledge his skill as a campaigner, his animosity towards the people he needs to report favourably, the media, seems to me to be counter intuitive. Politics is the art of accumulating support. Picking fights is the opposite. Of course, Pierre is on the cusp of being appointed Prime Minister and I am not. But I have to decide if he will get there on my vote. My ballot is very precious to me and I refuse to spend it frivolously. Hopefully, I will have another 22 months to decide.

If you think a Christian baker shouldn't be forced to create pastries that would go against their conscience you must want to harm gays 3. If you point out cops are necessary, the vast majority are not racist, and that thug lyfe culture which glorifies women beaters, illegal drug usage, and gang lifestyle is a root cause of the disproportionately of blacks in jail then you are a racist There are more but just three for starters

  32. Not at all. That's war. I would have much rather that hamas didn't start the war. i would much rather they wanted peace. But- now that they did start the war the only choice is to wipe them out. And unfortunately because they don't give a shit about killing their own people (and neither do you), it becomes necessary for those people to die as part of prosecuting the war. IF you don't - then many many more people die in the long run. IF they'd done this during the other similar wars then this war wouldn't be happening and more than 10 thousand lives would have been saved. Yeah. You do. And that's a problem. Awww - look at you. Trying to justify the october 7 terror attack that killed thousand of civillians. Siding with the terrorists. Claming it was justified because israel apparently killed 150 thousand palestinians just before or something, which we both know is a lie. Dude. You're a terrorist supporter justifying the slaugher of civillians for no reason other than to kill civillians. And i'm supposed to give a shit about what you think? I'm supposed to think you care when civillians die because hamas is using them as meat shields? IF you genuinely feel bad about those Palestinian deaths - then go have a chat with your terrorist friends about NOT driving into israel and gunning down civvies by the thousand. ANd maybe chat with them about NOT using their people as meat sheilds and building their bunkers under hospitals. Now go cry your crocodile tears somewhere else.

There's something to think about for sure, however, it also says in that article, poorly written article, that Rowe himself voted to strike down the carbon tax as unconstitutional? So what's good for the populist goose should be good for the elitist gander. And I'm not sure why so many populists think the court wouldn't help them, as a leftist populist government could easily pass anti-religion laws wrre it not for constitutional supports and the supreme Court.

Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of Hamas co-founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef, defected from the terrorist group in the late '90s and secretly worked with Israel's security services to expose and prevent several Hamas terrorist attacks. He later gave his life to Christ and wrote a 2010 autobiography titled Son of Hamas. Yousef, 45, now endeavors to expose the true face of Hamas' genocidal death cult.

  45. Betsy Betsy, the sheer ignorance of your comment is staggering. I suspect you have your nose in Fox News all day, have had only a substandard education, and are surrounded by religious bigots. There is NO grooming. There is NO agenda. Gawd, the sheer stupidity of your comment makes me wonder what neck of the woods you grew up in. Here are some facts: the vast MAJORITY of sex offenders are heterosexual males. Look it up, and not on Fox either. Drag Queens have existed since forever. LGBTQ is a lifestyle choice and none of them are trying to groom anyone. I remember the 1950s when the accusation was that gay people were trying to "convert" children. Putting the face of a transgender on a beer can isn't promoting anything except the beer. Are you offended too when you now see a couple in a commercial that are biracial or a couple in a commercial with two guys clearly a couple? I've seen those commercials and can only imagine how the bigots like yourself must be cringing. Grow up! Here in Canada we have bigots too. Small though their number are. Read REAL news. You will be shocked to find here in Canada we don't have frantic parents attacking school boards over which books are being read. We did have a huge Pride parade recently in Toronto which was well attended, families even brought their kids. It was a huge tourist attraction, brought in tons of money for the city. NO ONE was offended. The American Right have always been p*ssies. If it isn't black people, or Muslims, or feminists, or women wanting to control their own reproductive rights, its LGBTQ that offends them. How about this? Mind your own business, get over your prejudices, do some good in the world like working for a charity, and just accepting people for who they are. Believe it or not, your life might actually be richer than constantly being fearful of the "other."

  46. Let me get this straight: you are equating someone who is openly anti-semitic to someone who is transgender?? I would not purchase a MAGA hat either. Not an equivalency. An equivalency would be me NOT buying clothing made by Mennonites because I am an atheist, but I have. An equivalency would NOT be buying a book because I found it in a Christian book shop, which I have. NOT honoring an anti-Semite is like boycotting a store that refuses to serve black people. Otherwise I won't judge a product that is promoted by a gay person or a straight person, a black person or a white person, a Muslim or a Christian.
