Now THAT'S thinking (please God, forgive the pun) outside of the box.

Yes exactly. Maybe Hamas should be the enemy of the Palestinians too?

That is not in my nature. When people offend me I tend to do my best to return the favor. As you may have noticed on occasion.

They can prevent the shots from reaching them with their dome and incursions into their territory with their army more equipped with weapons and number of soldiers. They can negotiate with Hamas for their withdrawal from the occupied territories and the return of refugees in exchange for peace. They cannot go into Gaza and try to fight Hamas over there because of the lost of innocent lives.

By protesting, they hope that Canada will stop helping Netanyahu kill people and put pressure on him to stop his slaughter. I thought you knew this, it was Netanyahu who brought the war here, not the Palestinians

Thanks Greg it's all now magic.

Want to demonstrate then do so...but you will find their message is not so peaceful, nor legal... No the demonstrations are pretty clear in their messages, they want a one state solution, and the complete state of Palestine which includes the state of Israel....not sure how they can do that with out pushing Israelis into the sea, pretty sure that is hate speech at it's finest... And the number of 20,000 comes from Hamas...which has not been confirmed by no other NGO in the area...remember the hospital bombing that killed 500 , the one that turned out to be a malfunction rocket, that did not kill anyone but rather injured people...Nothing out of Gaza can be taken as fact... No but Hamas was elected by a huge majority, and people seem fine with that result, as there has been very little uprising or talk of it...

Harper introduced a bill that would criminalize the support for a terrorist group. We need to bring that back and pass it.

There is a hot book on Amazon called: "O CHINADA, The Manchurian Canadaian: Communist Patsy of Canada, CHANNELING CASTRO" O CHINADA, The Manchurian Canadaian: Communist Patsy of Canada, CHANNELING CASTRO eBook : Rosenberger, Richard Abram: Amazon.ca: Kindle Store "We are witnessing the globalist hostile takeover of Canada through Justin Trudeau. Following the World Economic Forum playbook, Marxist powers of this age have "penetrated" the Liberal Government of Canada by the Queen's Royal Assent. Foreign actors and interests currently control the Prime Minister, all under the guiding eye of the Monarchy. An autocoup has already dismissed our Constitution, mandated tyranny, holding many nations. Treaties are signed, but you were NOT at the table!" Is this for real or is this some kind of scam? I don't know. We do know the Trudeau government puts a lot of trust in what the U.N. says and parrots them on some things like Covid vaccinations, climate change and now the war between Israel and Hamas, and mass immigration into Canada. Canada already seems to be less of a sovereign country and more of some kind of property of the U.N. We know Canada also sends billions of dollars to other countries. Four billion to Iraq. And we know Canada is spending tens of billions of dollars on EV battery plants as part of their war on climate change and the U.N. has been banging the gavel about the war on climate change along with COP28. We need to ask why Trudeau and his minister Guilbeault need to using Canada on the war against climate change likely more fervently than any other country in the world. Why are we paying such a heavy price for this war on climate change? Maybe I will get the book on Kindle or get the paperback. It is hard to judge a book by its cover.

https://www.foxnews.com/us/texas-arrested-thousands-us-mexico-border-state-expands-powers-arrest-migrants Texas has arrested thousands at the US-Mexico border as state expands powers to arrest migrants Texas authorities have arrested nearly 10,000 migrants who illegally crossed the U.S.-Mexico border under a new "arrest and jail" operation aimed at deterring illegal immigration. Following the successful arrests, Texas passed a new law that will bolster the smaller-scale operation to expand the authority to make arrests, as well as give local judges the authority to order the migrants out of the country. The changes go into effect in March. The new law comes after Texas first launched the smaller-scale operation to arrest migrants on misdemeanor trespassing charges in July 2021 as Texas-Mexico border crossings reached 1.2 million that fiscal year. Republican Gov. Greg Abbott had predicted the trespassing arrests would produce swift results. "When people start learning about this, they’re going to stop coming across the Texas border," Abbott told Fox News in July 2021. Soon enough, word will get out in Central America, Iran, Afghanistan, Russia, North Korea and whatever other shithole vomiting its human feces into our southern borders. Those animals are not welcome in Texas and they will be put in jail and sent back. They'll have to find other parts of the world to commit violent crimes, engage in child prostitution and deal deadly drugs. This is not immigration. It is an invasion. And it is about to be stopped in the Lone Star State.

Thanks! You have a happy New Year’s as well.

Don't forget the Americanization and commercialization that happened in the 19th and 20th centuries.

I’m interested in discussion, not to watching silly YouTube videos as a response.

I watched half of it... No relevance to the conversation. Tldr?

Well the numbers he just put up show that the cpc would be gov't, the ndp and libs woudln't have enough between them. And i think you'd see that push the bloc into the cpc's hands nicely. But in any case it would be a mess. Nobody would truly be in charge, nobody would be accountable and basically you'd have re-created the old 'class' system where you've got the elites that run the show and the people who do what they're told. You woudln't even have a local mp any more to yell at

No, it doesn't show that. It shows that the cpc and libs would flip back and forth being the party in power and that both sides would have to make deals with the more extreme groups - the ndp on the libs side and the bloc adn ppc on the conservative's side. And no, there's been no civil war in the ndp. Nor does the CPC tend to have any unusal tensions. And no - you wouldn't see a centrist coalition. What you would see is more power to the fringe parties and more polarization. I hope you ski better than you politic. I don't think ANYBODY anywhere want's a pure PR system - it would be a complete disaster and would basically eliminate democracy. No party would be accountable, no individual would be accountable. You wouldn't have a local rep any more, there really wouldn't be party conventions and you'd see a dozen small splinter parties start up each with their own seperate special interest because the game would no longer be about gaining enough support from the people to win an election. It would be everything wrong with what we have now x4.

What's wrong with supporting victims who actually are helpless and uninvolved? We're often reminded that Gazans support Hamas because they were elected 20 years ago - before half of Gaza's current population was even born. There's rarely any distinction made between then and now or Palestinians/Gazans/terrorists by Israel and its supporters. In any case why the need for this pedestal of justification when there's an apparently legal article of warfare that says it's reasonable and acceptable for an army to blast it's way through any population that's in their way? Maybe the best thing to come out of this, in the next hundred years perhaps, is that this article will be turned into a war-crime.

No, that's only in clownworld bud. The borders of Ukraine were drawn in the 90's.

Just like the second amendment. Tell that to the Dems who have been trying to weasel their way around for years.

It's a damn sight better than the check you just did. From the river to the sea is a right-wing Israeli election slogan going back to 1979. It means as little as when anyone else uses it. The genocide argument of the thread is just tit for tat rhetorical bullshit that both sides should tone down.

See, the problem with you leftoids is that you're operating under the mistaken belief that Trump is guilty of insurrection when he hasn't been convicted of insurrection or even charged with insurrection. Based on that alone, Napolitano doesn't even need venture into this area. The Colorado SC overstepped its bounds and the SCOTUS is going to have to step in and swat them on the nose. The REAL crime in all of this is found with the Colorado SC and its interference with Trump's campaign for US President.

I feel like i can't ever unsee this post....

LOL - true, if hamas served the israelis the way it served the people of Gaza the israeli death toll would be massive right now

Israelis killed more Palestinians before Hamas killed 1,200 israelis

They could take off and nuke 'em from orbit. It's the only way to be sure Movie quotes aside, honestly it's hard to disagree. I suppose it's possible that the gazans have finally had it so bad that after this they will do anything to avoid another war and will start seriously pursuing a peaceful resolution. But that does seem unlikely. I think in the long run peace comes when the Palestinians are gone, but hopefully that's not the case.

By and large the various forms of PR simply DON'T work on a riding by riding basis. You either have to give up the riding system or run a hybrid FPTP/ PR model when you elect a local rep but ALSO a number of MP's are assigned by the party. The only model that still really allows for a riding based system is instant run off, which isn't really PR.

That figure came from Hamas and is not verified. It could be true or it could be far less. Why are you so willing to believe terrorists like Hamas? So you are ok with terrorists killing Israelis and then hiding behind the people?

You didn't answer the question? Was it ok for Hamas to attack Israeli citizens and kill 1,200 people and take 200 hostage.

I don't care much for zionists. I merely state the cold reality. Truth be told...I have no use for zionists or Palestinians.

I don't understand you but, I have a feeling you don't really understand you. But go for impeachment. I'm sure you and 10 others will have your day...

After what they have done, No.

Do you think anti-Semitism has a place in Canada or anti-Semitic protests and demonstrations are legal?

Thanks 👍🏻

The constitution is meaningless to the left. We all know that. They've pretty much said as much. However - turns out a number of courts disagree with your ... ahhh... interpretations How strange wouldn't you say? Seeing as it's so cut and dry with no room for error

You’re losing your sh!t. Have you been drinking again? Can you support Palestinians without supporting Hamas?

Well this is what is kind of disturbing. I mean there's always been lots of political gamesmenship but over the last 7 years it's gotten more and more out of control. Fake dossiers? Weaponizing the FBI? Agent's breaking the law to go after political opponents? Talking how they'll do anything to keep a politician out of office? the numerous harassment lawsuits we've seen? Trying to bar someone from running on the thinnest and cheeziest of pretexts? And it seems to be getting worse. When the republicans have had enough and strike back (and they will), democracy will be in real trouble. Is THAT the dem's actual end game? Destroy people's belief and trust in democracy so ... what, they can take over or something or justify doing away with democracy altogether? Or do they just not care if the country burns as long as they get what they want for the next 15 minutes?

Ahhhh - so palestinians say it all the time and you're fine with that but if the israelis say it even once it's genocide. Typical.

I'm sure I've shown this to you several times now. During a speech before the United Nations General Assembly on September 22, 2023, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu holds up a map that shows Israel stretching “from the river to the sea.” https://www.thenation.com/article/world/its-time-to-confront-israels-version-of-from-the-river-to-the-sea/#:~:text=During a speech before the,the river to the sea.”

There's been enough. The acceptable level is zero.

There might be no right to be demonstrating support for a terrorist organization either. Hasn't Hamas been designated a terrorist organization by the Canadian government? If so, how can it be legal to be demonstrating support for them and what they did?

Everything is now a left vs right issue. The left sent out a memo months ago, you need to pay attention. And honestly most of the time they seem to think that whatever's considered "right" - the left will take wrong.

I suggest you open the link, which was from 2022.. Nuclear also works during windless nights. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1334632/number-of-small-modular-reactor-projects-worldwide/

Yes, they absolutely can. Impeachment is a political process, particularly right now. It can acquit, but not exonerate, btw. In the case of both impeachments, there is no question that Trump was guilty. His political party simply chose, for political reasons, not to hold him accountable. Case in point, for the 2nd impeachment McConnell and allies roundly and publicly condemned Trump for doing all of the things of which he was accused, but still voted against conviction on the thin premise that the process was negated when Trump was removed from office. The plain truth is that McConnell thought that after the coup attempt Trump was all done--no longer a threat to party or country, so he sought a politically expedient end to save further embarrassment to the party. He didn't want the next election cycle to be about how "the last Republican was convicted." I guarantee you that if those establishment folks had any inkling that Trump wouldn't go away, they would have bitten the bullet and voted to convict. To be fair, to Mitch and crew, it does seem preposterous to thinking Republicans that people would support the man after a coup attempt. They underestimated their success over two decades of grooming their base to tolerate anything that would spite the "liberals." And now here we are. The first President in the history of the country to subvert the peaceful transfer of power is the leading the race for the Republican nomination. The old guard did their work too well. Today's GOP doesn't believe in America. They don't believe in the constitution. They don't believe in elections and democracy. They believe in power at any price. They believe in vengeance and spite.

I can't wait for the strike to be over. Then I will be able to see my MILFy girlfriend again. The schools babysit her children, and she comes over to my place.

You have bitten and swallowed the globalist elite's lie of climate change alarmism, hook, line, and sinker. What I spend on this book is pocket change and nothing compared to what I have been scammed by way of carbon taxes, the price of groceries and everything else as a result of the globalist's policies and carbon taxes hitting everything in life. Do you think Trudeau and his ilk will ever suffer the lack of anything. They have tons of money stored away and will never suffer like the people he has hurt. The pain from the increasing poverty, homeless people, and food bank people is causing more suffering than climate change will ever cause. Controlling the climate is pure fiction and is just a tool of the globalists for more control of everyone. Out descendants have already been saddled with a massive debt of tens of billions of dollars and a massive shortage of housing as a result of years of Socialist government lunacy. Our descendants will likely never own a home because of Trudeau and his gang including his NDP puppets.

I'm comparing BLM, which was 100% supported by the Dems, including ridiculously supportive statements from people like Michelle Obama and Kamala Harris, to the rioting on Jan 6th, which was not supported by the GOP or Trump, and which Trump asked people to quit at least once per hour for the whole time it was happening. Do you understand me when I say that the Dems 100% supported rioting, and CNN 100% supported rioting, and Kamala and M. Obama both supported rioting? Do you understand me when I say that Trump put out two tweets and a video tweet asking for a return to peace during the rioting? I'm comparing Trump to the Democrats who 100% supported all of the BLM rioting, not to BLM. Maybe sympathy isn't a big part of what you feel, but just remember that AOC told the nation that she got PTSD from a few hrs of rioting while she was surrounded by armed cops, but she supported years of riots in people's neighbourhoods, where they were trying to work, and live, and where their kids were trying to go to school and where they were trying to sleep. AOC experienced 1% of what they did, which she supported, then she cried PTSD. Stop caring about 1 set of laws and disregarding all of the others. No, not at all. Trump has never supported any rioting or violence at all, ever. The Dems, Hillary included, supported rioting, looting, arson, assaults and murder for years on end. The fact that this is theoretically a debate is sad. Well, there's the rub. If it was spontaneous then it wasn't an insurrection, it was just a riot: one that Trump asked his followers to end at least once every hour that it was occurring. All that the Dems did for 3 years was egg the rioters on, and hide bodycam footage that seems somewhat exculpatory, even to black activists. Not even one warning shot was fired. The police didn't even yell. They just killed an unarmed woman. The police never even said "We saw a gun", ever, anywhere. Grow up ffs. Who has Trump slandered, maligned, etc? The Dems do it all the time. It's literally their main election strategy. They have nothing else, especially not policy or successes to crow about.

He didn't ask Pence to do anything illegal. Dems do dodgy things like that all the time. A far more egregious example is Colorado SCJs trying to pick the 2024 candidates. It was just an avg day in America circa 2017. If "the amount of violence" was the indicator then the USA had 200 insurrections since Jan 2014, and there was definitely an insurrection at the WHO in Aug 2020. I mean, you have to admit that if Jan 6th was an insurrection then it's reasonable to conclude that Aug 2020 was as well, and it happened not long after Michelle Obama's hate-mongering commencement speech. Almost none compared to the BLM riots, and BLM had several cops killed as well. The cops killed one civilian on Jan 6th, an unarmed girl, and zero civilians during all of the BLM riots of the past 9 years. Totally wrong bud. The lawmakers (Pelosi, Schiff, the squad, Kamala, etc) who cheered on years worth of rioting, and subjected millions of unarmed/unprotected civilians, business owners and cops to deadly violence, were behind a wall of fully armed policemen for a total of about 3 hrs. I have absolutely no sympathy for them at all - they can all go to hell. I'll go so far as to say that they didn't even get 1% of what they deserved. Did BLM rioters seek blood for 3 full years of rioting? Yep. Fully supported by Dems. If this was a planned insurrection then why was it completely unarmed? "Let's take over the USA with no guns" said no one, ever. Was there ever any danger at all that a bunch of unarmed rioters were going to get past the cops with guns at the capitol? C'mon dude, the insurrection angle is pure posturing. The Demonrats are doing what they always do: accuse, slander, malign, lie, divide, etc.

You're probably right. I don't fit under tables and chairs. Thus I stand up, examine the facts, and determine the obvious. There is no proof of any crisis. Just a bunch of fear mongering and the resulting destruction.

Which headwaters? Would that be Lake Victoria or Lake Tana.

But didn't with this one. or about this subject. Which doesn't mean there aren't legit concerns someone out there might bring forward - but this wasn't one of them. This was a witch hunt. Zero victims, much time has passed, and no chance ot defend himself at all regarding the basis for the fine. It would be like me coming up to you and saying "We've already decided you raped a girl without a trial - we'd like to hold a sentancing hearing to decide how much time you'll spend behind bars now. " Not exactly due process. But thats why they didn't bring any criminal charges - they'd go nowhere. SO they rigged up this little scam to tick him off. And he's bound to remember that and look for payback where he can get it if he wins. THey talked him out of going after hilllary.. there will not likely be any talking to him this time.
