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)

https://www.cbc.ca/radio/cooking-skills-decline-1.7064348 Here's something i almost never say: This was a very interesting CBC article. Setting aside the cbc's solution (make it a gov't responsibility - quelle shock) the "Meat' of the article is right on the money in my experience. I have always done most of the cooking, I have a very wide range of dishes using lots of different ingredients that i shift through over time (tho i find i'm more and more going back to simple foods), and most of my male buddies growing up were good cooks to one degree or another. But today i find most younger people, especially girls, have next to no cooking skills(once you eliminate reheating prepackaged meal ) and if you can't make food from scratch it's very hard to adjust when food prices change. With girls i swear it almost feels like because the stereotype was that girls should be in the kitchen was so prevelant in years gone by their moms and dads deliberately didn't teach them those skills. I make a bit of a game of eating well for less, looking at how i can keep the per plate price low and still eat great food and you can do it but you absolutely need to know how to cook food from scratch. Are we shooting ourselves in the foot not teaching our kids more about how to cook properly?

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 🤫

Ya, you ignore all the measurements and data compiled by NASA satellites over decades and the scientists on the ground actually measuring rates of glacier melt and latch on to political hacks and snake oil salesmen with no scientific credentials like Marano. You never question their motives and sources because they are telling you exactly what you want to hear. Talk about gullible, you set new standards.

Oh, aren't we just such a nasty lefty liberal loser with not much to say except maybe to try and spread your own bull craof lies and deceit. 😀

Would you like to see the Canadian taxpayer's save tax dollars? Then the feds should just quit with their climate crisis nonsense. How much has Ottawa collected over the years from the carbon tax being applied on so may things? No doubt, countless millions or maybe even billions. Most of it no doubt is going into the government coffers to be spent on many other useless liberal socialist programs and agendas that do nothing for the taxpayer's of Canada. The majority of Canadians do not appear to be overly concerned about climate change. It is just frightened little children like you that seems to show that you care. o, just what are you doing to help fight this so called climate crisis? Well? You are a real fanatical climate change nut job alright. 😛

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.

You've been listening to MAGA FRAUD Trump again. US Oil production is already at RECORD LEVELS. Which you would know if you checked anything other than FOS LIES. Does NOT trump re-election necessary to get that. Duh

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

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

But you clearly wish you were Russian. Riiiiight.

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.

Indeed. As I've stated, a lot of this is just the revenge of the nerds. One must wonder... If Gawd is the source of all creation, who or what do these nerds worship?

You and @Nationalist are both close but you miss the mark i think. It's not so much that they hate america . If america would do what they tell it to do they'd be fine with it. But - they LOVE their vision of a socialist paradise where all wealth is distributed and everyone thinks exactly the same way and that way is their way. That world is not possible if the current american institutions are still in place. The current 'america' allows for freedom and individual rights that supercede the needs of the state and a bunch of other things that block the utopia entirely. So - they NEED people to hate the current america. It's not enough to hate it themselves, they NEED for EVERYONE to hate it because otherwise nobody will want to tear it down and start again. It's one of the fundimental differences between the right and the left - for the most part, people on the right worry about what they think about various issues and what they're going to do. People on the left worry about what YOU think and what YOU'RE going to do and if it isn't what THEY think you should htink or do they get right pissed off and want something done 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.

You mean they provided for their own constituants before bailing us out? Gee why don't we do that? 😁 Gee, so you are saying the Soviet Union in WW2 wasn't our ally or are you saying they weren't communist? Who cares if China is communist? Why does that make them our enemy? I did read Operation Dropshot. Thanks. Operation World War III: Secret American Plan (Dropshot) for War with the Soviet Union in 1957 (1979). ISBN 0853681236. by Anthony Cave Brown The USSR was a threat because of their belligerence. The fact that a country is communist or capatalist should not be an impediment to good relations or a reason to consider them an enemy. We did not break off relations with Cuba when Castro took over. It is inappropriate to tell other countries how to govern themselves. I can imagine how we would get our knickers in a twist if a hypothetical French President shouted "Vivre Quebec Libre," from a balcony in Quebec. When we butt into another country's affairs such as Prime Minister Trudeau lecturing President Xi on how he could improve China, we saw how effective that was. At times like this where Europe is in peril because Russia is once again belligerent, we need all the allies we can get. We are in jeopardy, not from some ideology but one man's ego. Like it or not, China is only going to grow in power, even with their current economic troubles. When the bar lets out and you and your friends are facing off against a group of loud mouth thugs, you should be standing behind the two biggest guys in your gang.

Yes predictions made using real data, not just what comes out of your ass. I guess you don't bother to look at weather forecasts either.

Michael, my only point is that some things are worth more than others and some things cost ore than others. The whole thing is determined by what folks will pay for those things, be they products or people. Some peoples obsession with what other earn is just bizarre. Jealousy at best.

I went to a technical school, gender and pronouns weren't a thing back then but science was. You seem more the liberal arts type because you know SFA about science.

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?

There must be a good reason to want to bring in millions of new immigrants or there is some kind of a nefarious reason for Canada to want to be bringing in massive amounts of millions of new immigrants in the next few years or so. Canada does not need all those new immigrants every year. Dare i say the word conspiracy comes to mind to try and replace the British/ European people and replace those i just mentioned? Hey, we never know, eh? There has to be some reason for why Canada needs all those new immigrants. But, what is that reason? Who knows. And i do not believe that Canada needs more new immigrants to fill the many jobs available when we have been bringing in so many new immigrants by the hundreds of thousands over the years. This is total bull crap and I do not like the trend of what i am noticing here. Multiculturalism and diversity and massive third world immigration appears to be the problem.

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.

You obviously haven't learned anything in the past 20 years. Marc Marano is a political hack who used to work for Rush Limbaugh. He has no scientific background which obviously makes him an authority to a fool like you.

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.

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

Look it is one of those entitled babies who don't want to hear anything they don't like.

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.

No, they just threaten civil unrest if they don't get verdicts they want. They're a lynch mob.

So good our dollar is only worth 73 cents US on a good day.

Everyone around the world knows more about the US dollar. It is the world's reserve currency and when times are uncertain it is in demand.
