If trump walked on water the dimwitted leftists would screech that trump can't swim.

I would trust him with Justin Trudeau's holiday aircraft. Apparently. Actually now that I think about it even he gets to work more often than that now

That was the whole point of Michelle Obama's comments like: "Stay angry. Focus your angry. Don't ever let anyone tell you not to be angry" when there were violent, destructive riots going on all over the country. Do you think she was trying to be rational, and curb the hatred/violence when she said that? Because that's exactly the kind of thing that you'd say if you wanted to incite more rioting. If Trump said: "Stay angry. Focus your angry. Don't ever let anyone tell you not to be angry" during the mostly peaceful protest on Jan 6th what would you think of that statement? Do you think that Barack Obama didn't know about the bodycam footage that Ellison was withholding from the public at that point in time? If Barack knew then Michelle knew, and if she made that speech while knowing how misleading the Floyd narrative was at that point, then she is a despicable, repugnant, vile racist. In any event, it's an absolute certainty that at the very least Keith Ellison knew, and he let her stomp all over that rake. Everyone who knew what was on that video was 100% complicit with inciting violent, unnecessary riots.

Awwwww, poor wittow Hodad doesn't like weading the owwie words. Not my problem. If it would be 'exhaustive' to point out everything that's wrong with my post then just name one thing, Sherlock... Surely you could do that one tiny thing instead of just babbling. You're the person who looks at a guy standing outside for 17 minutes straight without a hat, with hair that stays completely dry the entire time, and then says "It rained on him", but you call this a "mostly peaceful protest": Hodad, everyone here knows exactly what your opinion is worth. You regurgitate known CNN BS for years after it has been debunked. AG Ellison withheld bodycam footage for months to keep those riots going - to keep useful id10ts like you angry, destructive, and hateful - and you won't offer an opinion on that because CNN didn't give you one. I can expose your stupidity and hypocrisy all day, fool.

It's an opinion you silly twat. It's hilarious you attach so much to what I say. I don't just live rent free in your head, I sublet!

why is violence always the solution for the left? Sigh. Also - you can just keep your dirty little hands off my 'bow and arrow' thank you very much,

I agree somewhat but lets put this in perspective. CAF, Canadian Armed Forces is not just Army. Yes, there is a recruiting problem for the Army but, when I joined in 1969, the Army also had problems recruiting as did the Navy. The recruiter has always had problems getting people to join the Army and Navy. They pushed very hard for the potential recruit to join Army or Navy careers, especially to become a grunt or ordinary seaman. No disrespect to those that did but, foot soldiers and deck mates were not a very attractive career and are still not. The recruitment problem is now for the Armed Forces as a whole. The Air Force has taken to contracting out a lot of it. First line maintenance (on the hangar line) on most of it's fleet has been contracted out. Overhauls and repairs has been contracted out for decades. Hence, all the air force needs at this time is basically aircrew. (yes, there are still aircraft maintainers but they are small numbers and primarily on fighters, tactical helicopter squadrons and with maritime helicopters. As for the CAF, the entire leadership has become a political pawn for whomever is in control. Trudeau 1 and 2, as well as the conservatives in between did not respect the military and only when it was politically necessary did they use the military but, always to the benefit of the political agenda. The Military leadership is not leading a military but being subservient to political whim. They are ordered to follow or to enforce policies that are not "military" but social. The military is not a social organization and by making it one, less and less people want to be part of it.

Pierre Polievre was like a breath of fresh Spring air blowing through the opened window of a sealed, dark, and stale bedroom when he first caught my attention a couple of years ago. I especially admired the way that he handled himself -- or more appropriately, how he handled Justin Trudeau -- in their parliamentary exchanges. The PM would repeatedly fold like a house of cards...and it could actually painful watching Trudeau lose by default most each and every time. But my initial surge of enthusiasm ebbed rather swiftly as I watched PP's cocky self-assured mis-steps that ensued: his enthusiasm for Bitcoin...his deliberately going out of his way to serve coffee to members of the Freedom Convey...his sudden newly-found arrogance with members of the press...and on and on. The man sure knows no peers as knowing how to grab headlines and make his presence know, alright -- but what will happen when he's elected prime minister of the land, and has nobody to bait and to blame above him...? Te expression of "all sizzle and no steak" immediately comes to mind. Still in all, what choice do we weary Canadians have, otherwise...? Four more years of a Trudeau-Singh oligarchy to suffer under, as parliament merely foregoes the expected, lending additional years of life to that particular "deal with the devil"...? Surely we all deserve better.

Canada is ruled by a group of Papists who have no qualms about using dictatorial methods to impose their will. Being a part of the Papacy as many of them are leads to the belief that totalitarianism is the perfectly humane thing to do. They automatically spent 30 million dollars toward the Pope's last visit to Canada. Where is the freedom of religion for other religions if taxpayer money is spent to support Popery? We see it in many ways that laws and government operate. A look at the history of persecution by Popery in the past 1,700 years should tell us something about the attitudes that led to totalitarian authoritarianism. That is exactly how the Papacy operated. quote Though nearly all sects have persecuted their opponents, during a brief season, when men's passions were highly excited, and true religion had mournfully declined, yet no denomination except the papal hierarchy, has adopted as an article of religious belief, and a principle of practical observance, the right to destroy heretics for opinion's sake. The decrees of councils, and the bulls of popes, issued in conformity with those decrees, place this matter beyond a doubt. Persecution, therefore, and popery, are inseparably connected; because claiming infallibility, what she has once done is right for her to do again; yea, must be done under similar circumstances, or the claims of infallibility given up. There is no escaping this conclusion. It is right, therefore, to charge upon popery, all the persecutions and horrid cruelties which have stained the annals of the papal church during her long and bloody career of darkness and crime. Every sigh which has been heaved in the dungeons of the Inquisition—every groan which has been extorted by the racks and instruments of torture, which the malice of her bigoted votaries, stimulated by infernal wisdom, ever invented, has witnessed in the ear of God, against the "Mother of Harlots;" and those kings of the earth, who giving their power to the "Beast" have aided her in the cruel work of desolation and death. The valleys of Piedmont, the mountains of Switzerland, the vine crowned hills of Italy and France—and all parts of Germany and the low countries, have by turns, been lighted by the fires of burning victims, or crimsoned with the blood of those who have suffered death at the hands of the cruel emissaries of popery. England too, has drunken deep of the "wine of the fierceness of her wrath," as the blood of Cobham, and the ashes of the Smithfield martyrs can testify. Ireland and Scotland, likewise, have each been made the theatre of her atrocities. But no where has the system been exhibited in its native unalleviated deformity, as in Spain, Portugal and their South American dependencies. For centuries, such a system of police was established by the Holy Inquisitors, that these countries resembled a vast whispering gallery, where the slightest murmur of discontent could be heard and punished. Such has been the effect of superstition and the terror of the Holy Office, upon the mind, as completely to break the pride of the Castillian noble, and make him the unresisting victim of every mendicant friar and "hemp-sandaled monk."

Santos seat flips to Democrats. Even if Trump wins, the Republicans could lose both houses.

The Legal Coup: How Lawyers Designed Plan for Trump to Stay In Power Should be noted that ^this was only ONE of SEVERAL PLANS to OVERTURN THE ELECTION. Another proposed by Eastman was to force a contingent election by Pence discarding legitimate EC ballots, which obviously failed when Pence refused to cooperate.

I’’m not claiming any of that. You said there weren’t any government mandates to use bugs in food products. I said government mandates weren’t needed to start putting insects into food products and showed proof from 12 years ago. Once again you can’t see simple concepts that run counter to your programming.

Hey man just so you know if you ever start like coughing up blood, suddenly losing weight, or encountering mysterious lumps on your body, you should under no circumstances go see a doctor because they might diagnose you with cancer. if you don't get diagnosed, you won't have it and will be fine.

Absolutely he is, he's always lead these days he has to be lead everywh.... oh, Lead-er. Sorry - that's my bad, misread that....

You are a Russia-Putin loving anti-American fascist.

I would have assumed that she's so full of hot air that she naturally maintains a few feet of altiude above the earths surface. If she didn't counter it with all that lead in her brains the next thing you know they'd be claiming shes' a chinese weather balloon.

No, that couldn't possibly have any truth to it. [/s] In 1982 the old 'BC Tel" asked for a HUGE price increase and Trudeau Sr said no., Within hours they announced like 2500 layoffs. That was back in the days of regulation and Pierre told them f*ck you, hire them all back at full pay and find jobs if you have surplus workers. I know, I was one of them. Worked in maintenance, rebuild and 411 for years with frozen wages until retirements, buy outs, resignations etc opened postings to apply for. Choice posts like move from the mainland to Haida Gwaii, Mackenzie, Dease Lake etc or quit. You see once you place and tie in the fibre line and build the cell towers one guy can service it all over a huge area, and bandwidth Gigs cost ZERO. So nobody's gonna mess with their cash cow or they'll suffer the wrath of the Telcos.

Probably throw in something about "Aquatic collusion" or the like.

Leftists are as crooked as the day is long.

Why are conservatives drawn to blowing their own heads off?

Maybe that should be an official test we use - "we've replaced everything you said with pictures of dog poo and have discovered It contributed to the conversation in exactly the same fashion. We have confirmed you are on the left. "

That is the point where he will learn the difference between "politics" and "governance." Politics is a sport and Canadians have historically been very good at it. Politics is supposed to be fun and it is important to always keep in mind that the rigour of democracy depends on not taking politics too seriously. Governance is serious business requiring an ability to build a team that is able to balance opposing visions and pressures. Every decision the team makes will have a negative impact on a segment of the population. It is especially intense for the PM and his family. There is a whole industry in place to find everything they can to embarass the PM including anything his children, spouse or extended family do or don't do. Currently, Pierre has the best job in Parliament. Being Leader of His Majesty's Loyal Opposition is fun. You can say anything, promise anything and there are no consequences. If I were Pierre, I think I would consider keeping Justin in office as long as possible. The Prime Minister is a wealth of good material for Mr. Poilievre and the PM gets all the headaches and none of the fun. After the next election, Mr. Poilievre will form a government that will have a deficit he is committed to address while the continuing crisis in Europe will present pressure to increase the Defence budget and having to re-build the defence procurement infrastructure. Then there is climate change. After all of his rhetoric, he will have to do some serious balancing of conflicting forces. All of that will mean greater spending. On top of everything, there will be a new Administration in Washington with a strong possibility of a hostile Congress. Have pity on the man and his family. They will need all the luck they can get.

Hodad is like Black Dog. If you just replace all of his words with a picture of a dog taking a crap you don't lose any facts, stats or insights. He's the exact opposite of these guys: At one point those guys believed the exact same things that Hodad did, but when new evidence/info came out they let it collide with the old info that was in their brain, and let that cognitive dissonance ring like a bell. They came out of it with a more complete understanding. The Hodads of this world call guys like that "Uncle Toms". He is brainwashed to hate people like that and to disregard them entirely. CNN's original false narratives will be stuck inside his little pea brain 'til death and you will never be able to have an intelligent conversation with him. That's why he's on my ignore list.

Oh cdnfx, clean up in aisle 8!

So who's playing the violin now, Nero's long gone.

The interview reminds me of a move that Trump has been using occasionally with the MSM. When he wants to get a piece of news or development reported by them, he inserts a...well actually I shouldn't describe it totally. Let's just say the media jumps on it, reporting on the item that he inserted. But, the detail that he wanted to be reported on gets included in the coverage just the same. This interview, which as you say is being attacked or 'discredited', is still getting out there nonetheless. All media attention draws views. The brainwashed aren't going to change their minds about anything ever, so what they think doesn't really matter. But it draws people who can still think critically about a given issue.

I get why you'd say that and it's a common conmment but the fact is you really can't legislate away the job of the voter. THere are sites that produce score cards and show whether or not they kept promises and if not why not so you can look if it's reasonable, etc. But if the voters are not willing to put their country first and say "any hint of corruption or unjustified promise breaking and you're gone" then no amount of law is going to fix the problem.

Weak.

Pffft.... I have exactly THREE times that + 48 posts (including this one) at 42,0048 And I have only been here.... [Michael groans slightly as he reaches from his rocking chair to check the paper calendar on his sitting table... adjusts his bifocals... sees the result and looks sad...] ... twenty years...

THAT is NOT progress! I have to add an afterthought... @Hodad what you're advocating for is not beneficial progress. Thus you're engaged in advocating for change...for the sake of change. You don't care if it's beneficial to society because you figure you can force everyone to comply. Giggle Now you know that you can't. Oops... If you're unwilling or unable to analyze a change well or to the benefit of society, then you'd better get used to watching your progressive mumbo-jumbo crumble under the weight of simple common sense.

Lets do the actual quote eh? He said he would have " more flexibility ". NOT "... go soft on them". Seems to me your facts are off, again. But then they usually are. Must be hard to keep your facts straight when you are making them up as you go.

I feel genuine pity for people who won't hear the news on CBC-CTV-Global_CITY or read it in the Vancouver Sun or the Globe and Mail "because it's biased" Genuine pity..... we all can't be blessed with reason and common sense and that's just too hard for some to learn.

So figure it out Eddy. If you just simply won't change your habits it will cost you more and more and more. Complain louder and louder and call people stupid, that always gets children what they want.

The word "Screed" sounds bad. He doesn't like what you said. Therefore he wants to describe it in a way that makes it sound bad. So.. screed. You're lucky he didn't call it racist or dunning-kruger.

After conservatives in Alberta implemented it in 2007. The federal CPC and Liberals both campaigned on it because they could see the same writing on the wall - they both knew something had to be done. The intent of the OP is clear enough. He thinks the idea of pricing and or taxing carbon just suddenly came into existence when Trudeau did. You're simply pandering to the same sentiment along with all the other woke commie left-lib nonsense you file your grievances under.

Again, that's not what the Pew study says. You can't read, can you? Just the higher suicide rates among demographic groups and areas that skew Republican. You're getting warmer. But will you get there without someone taking you by the neck and shoving your face in it? I think a tendency among certain groups to canoe their heads with firearms is a reasonable proxy for assessing their mental health. If you and some of your fellow right wing freaks on this board are indicative of conservatives writ large, it truly is no loss to humanity when your kind paint the walls with your skull contents.

The Liberal/NDP brain-dead penguins are at it again. Creepy and disturbing.

Yes I did my stint in Cdn polling places too. I can't believe that in the USA they'd be so lax that id10ts could claim massive fraud like Trump did and have anyone believe it. Maybe they should send UN Observers to oversee their 2024 elections. That was why I wasn't for your purple thumb idea in Canada. Your are checked against a registry, counted by hand under the noses of all parties scrutineers, If there's any issues - like out of your area or riding, you were witnessed as eligible, not on their voter list etc, it goes into a separate (used to call it section eight) and is only counted on recounts or disputes. And I do know many weirdos who don't vote out of laziness and so-called "religious" objection who deserve to be brushed to the wayside.

In REALITY, Trump will LOSE because suburban women HATE HIM. They have come out in droves to punish his candidates for reversing RvW and that will continue in November.

Again, i am fantasizing but I would think that we could get a non-career politician from a working class background. The reason that folks do not get into politics is not media... sorry. I work with them and they are a particularly virulent form of the species. To last in high level politics, you have to be egotistical to the nth degree and that makes you very hard to deal with. Harris, from what colleagues have told me, is about as pleasant as the onset of herpes. Every one of them thinks that they are the chosen one.. and yet are not.

These unpatriotic whiners insist on living in a dream world where because things were, they mus have been better. Oooh we all miss black & white TV and those exotic Jello & tuna dinners, calling Grandma in North Van long distance, playing with Bolo bats under the willow trees, no natives allowed in bars and boat people from the UK being allowed to vote without citizenship. Glory days driving the Acadian or the Frontenac to the Safeway to get a box of KD for 19 cents and a tin can of 50 Sweet Caps for 43c. Hear them whimper how multiculturalism, bilingualism and the maple leaf and the metric system destroyed the country for fifty more years. Dig the old dusty leather strap from storage and beat some sense into those insolent Liberals.

Come on.. if you were truly content you would not be here every single day. Every day, someone can count on you posting a bunch of stuff about how unhappy you are with x, y, and z. Again.. next time, leave the word, "myself" out. As the saying goes, .."Give them enough rope"

Given how many people unthinkingly hold this belief it behooves us to dispel it by making the broadcaster so transparent it would be impossible to take seriously. Notwithstanding the truly hard-boiled partisan sycophants who will anyways.

Let me get this straight: In the first place, Fox News pay $785 million because they broadcast false claims about Dominion machines. In the second place, wasn’t Trump winning at the ballot box, and then he lost when the absentee and mail-in ballots came in? So if the Dominion machines were rigged, doesn’t that mean Trump did the rigging? Because Dominion machines weren’t used for tabulating absentee and mail-in ballots, they were used to tabulate votes made at polling stations. See how you guys can’t keep all your lies straight? It’s so much easier to defend the truth because we don’t need to keep inventing one lie layered upon another lie. You really are disgusting. You’re on the side of fascism, and it’s horrible. Dictatorships are horrible places to live. Just ask the Russians and Chinese… if you can fine one who’s not afraid of being killed for speaking their mind.

No, that's silly. First off you're talking ages ago and The wef wasn't always the way it is now, and they don't put something in your drink that magically makes you a commie or something or turn the frogs gay. Lets try to keep it real. No, there were serious problems with each of them and as i recall without looking it up at least two did not meet the requirements at all. And none of them were serious politicians in the slightest, they'd never had squat to do with the party and now they wanted to run the country? Nopers. Dude that is total tin foil hat bullcrap. PP has about 20 years track record as a politician, he's been pretty consistent and he knows his crap backwards and forwards. He's going to be a moderate right leader who won't be radical but won't be terribly soft either. There is no doubt he'll have to do some things to appeal to the soft left or blue liberals to stay in power, but that's just democracy. You don't win by ignoring the voters wishes. The biggest thing he can do and likely will do is stop federal overreach and get the gov't back to the basics and that's really what we want. Not just a balanced budget but a smaller budget, less interference, fewer 'arrive can' projects, more efficient gov't core services like pass ports. And of course most of all a very favorable environment for business investment growth innovation and entrepreneurship. And a reduction in immigration to sane levels. That's what he'll deliver, saying somhow that his 20 year track record is null because he went to davos once is just not defensible logically.

I get the sense that he has figured it out. Trudeau is history. Biden is history. Woke chickenshit is...history. Have a warm and fuzzy day Libbie.

This guy just keeps breaking into every single demographic group one at a time. got the young people, then go the older people, won over every province, has taken much of the ethnic vote, now he's reeling in the women. And there's still 19 months to go.

Stow it robo-liar. If there was more than 3 seconds of drizzle of the video then you would have pointed it out. Bottom line, there was 3 seconds of drizzle in 17 minutes. That's 1020 seconds. For 0.3% of the time Trump was speaking it drizzled and you wanna say "It rained". Then you say "If Biden lied" lol. I think we're done here.

Cool story bruh. I guess you’re right. EVs suck.

Changing some imagery and logos/symbols should require constitutional change? I wish that was the silliest thing you've ever said here. ?
