Maybe turn off FOX news? It's got you out of touch with reality. "72 per cent of Canadians surveyed said they are worried or very worried about climate change and 21 per cent said they were not very worried. Only seven per cent said they weren't worried about it at all."

For a bible thumper you are sure racist and prejudiced.

“I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order – respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!” Donald Trump

The 14th Amendment was clearly written to address Civil War confederates. Those people were NOT convicted of insurrection, but they WERE NOT eligible for Federal office if they’d previously sworn an oath to defend the U.S. Constitution. No Conviction Needed.

Out of curiosity, why would laws be passed to prevent this. The law that was passed, and amended to the constitution, is there for a pretty good reason, no?

That’s how the U.S. Constitution works. In 2000, Al Gore got 500,000 more votes than George Bush, but the Constitution said those 500,000 votes didn’t matter, and Bush became President. In 2003, Arnold Schwarzenegger was the most popular Republican in America But no matter how many votes he got, the Constitution said he could not be President of the United States In 2016, Clinton got 4 million more votes than Donald Trump, but the U.S. Constitution said those 4 million votes don’t matter, and Trump became President. On January 6, 2021, Donald Trump incited an insurrection, making him Constitutionally ineligible for the Presidency, no matter how many votes he gets.

Democratic dictators and Nazi communists... oxymorons that announce to the world you are one.

You are lying. I posted the evidence from nasa. It is fact.

Like I said, politics taints everything you think, it makes you incapable of being objective. You live in a never never land where anything you don't want to hear is just a lefty plot. You are so brainwashed by your right wing circle jerks its pathetic.

"It depends on the context"? NY Times: "The phrase has also been adopted over the years by Hamas, which calls for the annihilation of Israel, taking on a darker meaning that has long shaped the way in which it is received." Associated Press: "what the phrase means depends on who is telling the story... Many Palestinian activists say it’s a call for peace and equality... By 2012, it was clear that Hamas had claimed the slogan in its drive to claim land spanning Israel, the Gaza Strip and the West Bank... “Palestine is ours from the river to the sea and from the south to the north,” Khaled Mashaal, the group’s former leader, said that year in a speech in Gaza celebrating the 25th anniversary of the founding of Hamas. “There will be no concession on any inch of the land." The phrase also has roots in the Hamas charter." Washington Post: "The slogan refers to the territory between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea — which includes the state of Israel... the phrase was taken up by supporters of the Palestine Liberation Organization, or PLO... “The vast majority of Jews in many contexts, hearing that slogan, hear something that feels deeply threatening and offensive and many, many Jews would characterize it as antisemitic,” said Ethan Katz, an associate professor of history and Jewish studies at the University of California at Berkeley." Anti-Defamation League: "It is an antisemitic charge denying the Jewish right to self-determination, including through the removal of Jews from their ancestral homeland. Usage of this phrase has the effect of making members of the Jewish and pro-Israel community feel unsafe and ostracized. It is important to note that demanding justice for Palestinians, or calling for a Palestinian state, should not mean, as this hateful phrase posits, denying the right of the State of Israel to exist." I agree with you 100%. Such a lasting peace may take 10 or 20 years, but it starts with leaders who at least say they are committed to peaceful coexistence.

Let’s try this? If you’re wrong: Hundreds of millions of people die. If I’m wrong: We’ve spent money building a lower-cost, more efficient energy infrastructure, which makes our nations’ industries more efficient, makes our economies stronger, and takes hundreds of billions of dollars from unstable, terrorist-funding, anti-American oil dictators in the Mideast. See? If I’m wrong, I’m still right.

Jeebus. This post perfectly sums up your disordered thinking. You won't believe an overwhelming consensus of the worlds climate scientists and academics. You hand-wave NASA or NOAA. But you readily put faith in a petition signed by anyone with a Bachelor of Science degree, veterinarians, dentists and fictional characters.

My therapist would like to have a word with you.

Don't sell yourself short; you know lots of stuff. None of it is useful, of course, but that's the reality of a bald-faced liar such as yourself.

Yes they do convert that carbon but how are they supposed to convert the carbon we add to the atmosphere by burning carbon stored in the earths crust for millions of years on top of that produced by existing rotting vegetation and natural sources. Instead of expecting a tree to absorb the carbon from existing life and death, you want it to also handle the carbon from thousands of trees that died millions of years ago. Deforestation just exacerbates the problem. F***k Justin, he is only a politician and he is far from being my hero. That's the problem with you guys, you can't get past your politics. It taints every thought you have.

My definition of progressive: Entitled lazy babies who want everything now and want those with more money to pay for their BS. A group that doesn't know the difference between boys and girls and wants to force everyone to buy in into their trans ideology through laws and cancelling people. That are always for those they deem as oppressed no matter their circumstances or belief systems. Examples gay people being pro-Palestinians even though they would kill anyone in that group on sight and are against the Israelis who have legalized gay marriage. Being pro-trans while throwing another "oppressed group", women under the bus and forcing them to accept males pretending to be women in their private spaces and to compete directly against them even though they still have all the parts that makes someone male. A group that insists the US taxpayer pay for their student loans that they were aware of the terms and took the loan anyway because they learned quick that a gender studies degree wasn't going to get you a 6 figure job or any decent job. A group that will violently riot at the drop of a hat simply because someone they don't like are speaking at a university or a black criminal is shot resisting arrest with little to no repercussions. Yet when the other side has a riot they deem it an unforgivable insurrection and are hunted down like dogs and kept in jail without trial for years. Progressives are heads of Universities that bans speech that doesn't conform to liberal ideology but needs context before banning speech calling for genocide.

Harvard President Claudine Gay resigned after more examples of plagiarism were reported. But plagiarism had nothing to do with it; the examples had to do with how she explained statistical methods she used. It’s pretty difficult to explain how a Chi square or other method works without partially copying someone’s words, and it has nothing to do with scholarship. The real reason she was pressured to resign, of course, was her very legalistic response to a question about whether calling for genocide is acceptable free speech. Here’s my take: Gay: “It depends on the context.” I agree with that. Because, who is to judge whether a statement is or isn’t a call for genocide? But Gay had many opportunities to clarify her comment, and she didn’t. That, I think, is what did her in. On the other hand, pro-Palestinian protests at universities today often chant two slogans repeatedly: “There is only one solution, intifada revolution,” and ”From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” This is the heart of the problem. You can’t run around pretending to care about innocent Palestinian civilians being killed, by declaring that terrorist warfare against Israeli civilians is the “only solution,” and that the seven million Jews of Israel must be forcibly removed from their country. Israel is a nuclear power with a population of seven million Jews and two million Arabs (that doesn’t include West Bank and Gaza). Calling for the overthrow of a nation and murder and expulsion of their entire population doesn’t make you a peace activist, it makes you a war activist. And given Israel’s nuclear capabilities and powerful conventional military, it’s also irrational. Claudine Gay didn’t seem to understand the issues, and it cost her job. I think more university officials are going to need to address the clearly anti-Semitic nature of some of these chants, and come up with solutions which classify such comments as hate speech, and punish them. Not a simple issue in a free speech nation, but hate speech is not constitutionally protected. “Hate speech can only be criminalized when it directly incites imminent criminal activity or consists of specific threats of violence targeted against a person or group.” (Snyder v Phelps)

Future Liberal voters maybe. Trying to appease Trudeau's globalist masters along with the WEF. Suckholing to the UN. Probably all three.

Putin on the Ritz.

Sure, Mr. Chamberlain. Just let him have Czechoslovakia. That'll be the end of it... And just to recap, your theory of geopolitics is that the member countries of NATO, which fund NATO, are courting conflict to justify keeping NATO alive, because they are greedy and want to keep getting the money they contributed? 🤪 And to top it off, the total budget for NATO is a paltry $3 billion per year. Which doesn't even register as a drop in the bucket.🤣

Another nugget to muddy the mix -> CEOs are employees. They get a paycheque with deductions for taxes, healthcare benefits, stock plan etc. At the end of the year they do their taxes like anybody who has a job. Maybe CEOs are paid too much. But does anybody wonder who could afford to pay a salary so high ? Hmmmm 🤫

I get it, but... the question is what a reasonable person might interpret it to mean. As a neutral person, I would assume it means Israel is removed from the map. Therefore, this is not a chant looking for peace, or unification... not even solidarity in the face of genocide - it sounds like a war cry. I get that it "could" be interpreted differently, but if the meaning is ambiguous they should not chant it. I'm pretty sick of a society where people actively use ambiguity to generate controversy, to generate attention, to generate support. It's a cynical manipulation of mass reaction AND public discussion to achieve miniscule gains. Both sides have to start taking 2-state seriously, and that's the way to peace. That also means Benjamin Netanyahu must go at some point.

Nah, we'll just put some ice in it. Like our glaciers and the Antarctic shelves.

I saw a Palestinian activist on the news saying "from the river to the sea" means ONE STATE living in harmony, like it was BEFORE the Zionist movement swelled the Jewish population. Not the preferred interpretation of Israeli right wingers who say it means genocide of Jews. Just perhaps it means different things to different people.

And yet you keep defending MAGA FRAUD Trump, the most pathological LIAR ever to occupy the WH. You got your bass ackwards.

Hey, if your veterinarian told you there's no climate crisis then you can bank on it! Bet everyone's future! The shame would work if you had capacity for shame. There is no reason any thinking person with dignity would NOT be embarrassed believing and referencing a petition like that. And you are wildly deluded if you think climate activism and pressure will be going away. It will continue to build pressure as it has for the last 40+ years, both because the evidence is utterly overwhelming and because people are seeing the effects. Year after year is the hottest on record and the storms are larger and more frequent. The droughts longer and drier. Species falling into endangerment and extinction. Animals showing up well outside their traditional habitat. Etc. Etc. And the generations that follow you are much more scientifically literate and are growing up in this reality and understanding that it will affect them directly. You can throw your hissy fits, but it's 100% not going away. That's silly.

Rising ocean temperatures show definite warming. That article doesn't even mention them, all it talks about is weather. And they accuse NOAA of being selective. But hey, why wouldn't we believe an OP in a investors journal written by an anonymous author. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/may/15/oceans-have-been-absorbing-the-worlds-extra-heat-but-theres-a-huge-payback https://www.sciencenews.org/article/earth-oceans-storing-heat-record-breaking-amounts

You know all the ISIS-inspired terrorist attacks across the western world weren’t coordinated either, it was just self-radicalized individuals and cells inspired by garbage posted on social media. Similarly, many of the people who stormed the Capitol on Jan 6 legitimately believed internet nonsense asserting that if congress is unable to certify the election on the date of Jan 6 as specified in the constitution FOR ANY REASON then the election is nullified and the president will then need to be elected by the Republican-controlled congress. Some of those ideas were circulating on this very forum by the usual conservative crackpots in the weeks and months after Trump’s election loss leading up to January 6. So yes the Jan 6 attack was an attempt by at least some to nullify the 2020 election and install an alternative president. Similarly, Trump’s fake elector scheme and forged electoral certificates was also an attempt to sow confusion and prevent certification on Jan 6.

A. Try to keep up with the conversation. If you disagree with OftenWrong's characterization of MAGA positions with regard to Russia and China, you can let him know. B. Russia should be--and always will be--fundamentally an enemy as long as they are autocratic, aggressive, acquisitional and generally opposed to every value of Western democracy. They should be an enemy because they actively interfere in our elections both to create chaos and division and then to get the embodiment of chaos elected. Trump may kiss Putin's ass. You may kiss Putin's ass. You may want to let him conquer any sovereign nation he fancies. But most Americans have values and self respect. C. The "R" in BRICS stands for... (drumroll) Russia. So the idea that "Biden drove Russia into the arms of China and BRICS" (into its own arms?) is goddamn ridiculous. D. As a dedicated sub, you obviously don't appreciate it when people of values stand up to a bully, as Zelensky and Biden are doing. You can roll over and present if you like, but for most Americans, no thanks.

I had to learn how to cook when I started working on fish boats when I was 16, usually on old oil stoves. Fisherman's coffee was just cowboy coffee that sloshed back and forth on the stove all day. It was also good for polishing brass. Sidestripe shrimp rarely ever made it off the boat before being eaten, the sweetest shrimp you ever tasted...bigger than pink shrimp...a vegetarian with really tender meat Dey's uh shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it.

Not unless you're preapred to go to war over it. You can make suggestions or complaints but it's called 'sovereignty' for a reason and butting into that ends about as well as getting between a husband and wife with marital issues. Ask the us if that's caused THEM any problems staying out of other countries business whenever possible is necessary to keep your citizens safe and prosperous.

The only reason the US will default is because of partisan politics but if they do, we will be in a shit load of trouble because our economies are so tightly linked.

So you don't know. Just another mindless rant. Like I said, you are useless because you just can't get past your politics and use any kind of objectivity.

On the contrary, it is people like you that is running up the bill and debt for all the children in Canada wo eventually will have to pay the debt off. You keep blowing tax dollars on useless and stupid programs and agendas like climate change crisis which is not a real crisis at all. Just something the globalists invented and created to get people like you all upset over nothing and make you believe more and more silly lies and bs coming from the globalist elite ilk. The globalists already know that this so called climate crisis is not for real. Why, they do not even practice what they preach. HELLO. Pay more now, and get our children to pay off the debt that people like you keep dumping on them. HELLO.

I agree with some of this, Biden cannot just Close the Border, that would cause a lot of Republican owned companies who use South of the Border labor a great deal of money, and put a whole lot of newly added Texas Rangers out of work along with a large contingent of other businesses who cater to migrant labor. Even Texas knows this despite errecting mid-Rio Grande barriers and shipping off bus loads of not wanted migrants to other states and unloading them in the dead of night in the middle of nowhere. Can't say I would be voting Republican when I became a citizen, if I we're treated like that. Yet Trumps immigration policies are doing just that, creating new under classes who absolutely hate the Republican Party in any form.

8 Plus years?!? are you forgetting the 90's where they kept promising to meet kyoto and didn't do a damn thing then either? In fact it's 3 gov'ts and TWENTY years of inaction from the libs. As chretein said - "you always go to the meetings and make a promise but you never actually do anything" And this is supposedly the 'party of the environment' Anyone who votes liberal because of the environment is too stupid to be a voter.

maybe the lefts math is different, i ran the numbers a few times, and it's not 10 to 15 years, but rather in 6 years a operational plant will be built infact 5 will be built by 2032...in case your math is as bad as mine thats only 8 years away...5 SMR's on line 4 will be used to create hydrogen as a fuel source, amd supplementing power to existing hydro and nuclear plants built before the pipelines could be built...imigine that conservatives doing all that and building pipelines...

You are spot on, mate. We do have a globalist agenda going on all over the world where one of their main objectives is to get the Joe and Mary six packs into believing that bugs are great to eat. This is why meat is now so expensive to buy. They want we the peasants to start eating bugs. The globalist will always be eating steak, no matter what. Apparently, some grocery stores are now placing on their shelves and in refrigeration areas some products with bugs inside those products. Better read that label on that product before you buy it. The cashless society is another one of the globalist ilk programs and agendas to get rid of cash, and go to a cashless society, where they will be able to, with the help of our Marxist government in Ottawa, to be able to keep tabs of what and where one spends their own money. And if they do not like as to what you are spending or doing with your own money, they will freeze your bank or credit card account. We saw the globalists ilk do just that, with the help of the dictator in Ottawa, too many patriotic Canadians who attended the truckers convoy demonstration in Ottawa not so long ago. Peeve off the globalist elite ilk and they will freeze your bank account right away. Then, what are you going to do, eh? Maybe starve to death or get kicked out of your home because one cannot pay their rent. One more item to note is that those preacher globalists who try to get us to cut back on our carbon emissions are not really doing what they want us to do. They still and always will fly in their own private jets, run big expensive yachts and drive fossil fuel gas guzzlers and of course, still own two or three homes somewhere around the world. We are living in dangerous times where we the peasants need to be more vigilant as to what is going on in the world around us. Pay more attention the what those globalists are doing. And do not expect any help from the MSM. They are already owned by the globalists. It's all out there because they are already showing us now as to what they are up too. It's wakey-wakey time. 😇 I thought that i was replying to your post? But then again?

Canada's GDP per person is up 1% or so in the last 15 years. The US GDP per person is up about 14% And yet, strangely, the US has reduced emissions by about 20% since 2005 while Canada is down a bare 8% So you're saying it's better to have a climate plan that doesn't work than to not have a climate plan? So what? So is the Liberal party's climate reduction plan, it's plan for EVs, and it's pretense that it's going to achieve net zero. Or even the belief that it SHOULD.

For sake of argument, let's say that you are 100% correct in the above. What you are saying is that a sitting president had the US border handling immigrants illegally. For what, 3 years? And no court intervened. He wasn't arrested for this. He is now not being prosecuted for this. It seems a sitting American president can just dictate whatever he wants, whether it's illegal or not, and as long as he has either the Senate or the Congress, he gets away with it? Which means that Biden, or any of the previous presidents could theoretically break the law if they wanted to. Thats a strange reality, I think you are going to have to colour me skeptical on that one.

That was funny. At least some of us have a sense of humour. You must be buying grapes from the wrong store.

There's no such thing as a MAGA cult. There IS, however, a cult of unhinged leftists b*tching about stuff:

Not sure why your hung up on this topic...you seem to bring it up every occasion you can....regardless of why NATO was put into play, nothing has really changed, The Russians still pose a threat to Europe, NATO command has deemed that the Russian threat has diminished slightly, China is now the main threat, which is why you see changes being made to ground forces, and naval forces.... with mother Russia taken second place...Still a major threat regardless of what is happening in Ukraine...NATO forces are the lowest they have ever been in the last 30 years...and it is Russia that has spurred all the latest spending of NATO countries scrambling to get caught up... I think you'll find France rejoined NATO in it's military capabilities only...it does not participated in decision making abilities but it does send troops into NATO conflicts... Your worlds may of changed, our world is still the same only some players have shifted around...leaving NATO would not have any benefits to Canada or our economy, i mean we are part of the club but do not respect any of the rules...were free loaders 99 % of the time...that part is what has changed...from doing our part to doing barely anything.

You mean their NOMINEE? Thanks for revealing how little you know about American POTUS elections. You are confused. In American history, Trumpublican is the ONLY one who tried to cancel an election with a crisis he PLANNED. Fortunately he FAILED because Pence refused to cooperate in his BRAZEN ATTEMPT.

MAGA means bringing back American exceptionalism, as opposed to genuflecting before the Rus and the Chinamen.

In winter, Canada is a cold country. Most lazy people don't want to live here.

LOL - well i would have said mom and dad should have taught them in the past - and not just how to cook one or two dishes but how to actually cook. But - these days there's little excuse with an infinite number of recipes on line and youtube videos by the billion. Maybe we should be encouraging youtube inflencers to make more "why does this dish work" videos where they share a dish and explain what the components bring to the dish and possible substitutes so people start to get the idea. A lot of my fave personal recipes started with 'this would taste great with ....." Snicker - well everyone's daughters these days it would seem. People might learn a dish or two but they don't really learn to cook and that puts them at a severe disadvantage when prices on some foods are shooting through the roof and they don't know how to use the cheaper ones.

How are they supposed to learn? There's a knob on the stove it either burns things to shit or it's off? And you have to touch disgusting things that grew in dirt or are dead, bloody and just infested with germs! Just DoorDash me some pizza pockets! My daughter before she married a head cook. Hey Dad, let me make the agedashi tofu... 6 months later......

Hahahaha there is no Covid for Biden to hide behind. He can't campaign from his basement and he will have to debate Trump for real without being able to use a teleprompter. Biden may of beaten Trump by a lot last time but the election laws that helped him are now back to normal and he is losing minority and young voters by the day.

One man is a mass murderer and a warranted war criminal. One needs a seriously f@cked up brain to say these things. No, seriously.
