Yes, the law says that in order to appeal a civil judgement, you must post a bond of the judgement amount, either cash or as a surety bond. The criminal Trump stated that he had $400 million in cash before he said he didn’t. Your thirty days complaint is nonsense, because Trump knew he lost this trial months and months ago and he knew the plaintiffs were asking for $350 million. So he had about six months to secure the money if he wanted to appeal, not 30 days. This is fair because Trump lost. Filing an appeal delays receipt of funds by the plaintiff and causes the plaintiff to spend even more money to obtain the relief they are entitled to. That’s why the law is written that way. There have been even larger lawsuits which went to appeal.3 points

1. You are right I didn't. So after I read your post here I went back and read it. They float the bogus "woke=Marxism" idea which is rife with contradictions and superficial observations so I stopped reading after that came up, paragraph 2. 2. Communist China is trying to achieve their own political and economic goals, they are not on a mission to make Canada Communist or authoritarian. I don't think anybody has alleged that. Did they help the Liberals or just try to influence the elections ? Again - they are pursuing their own goals as all nations do with some level of success and some level of failure. If you want to mitigate their influence, monitor them and pass strong legislation regulating social media. 3. This is silly. The Liberals aren't Marxist, they haven't tried to nationalize anything or eliminate private ownership of large industry. I don't take you seriously when you post this stuff, it's over the line of conspiracy theory. 4. So by this logic, Donald Trump and his party are also Marxist because they dealt with China. Does Trudeau have accounts and businesses operating in China ? There is so much to criticize Trudeau on without having to play-act that he's some kind of Chinese James Bond. Why don't you read some posts from others for awhile and start to learn something for a bit...2 points

This is f*cking comical. You don't see big pro-Israel demonstrations for the same reason you don't see big pro-police demonstrations; no one protests in favour of the status quo. Also comical that people are still pushing this type of atrocity porn long after so many such cases have been debunked. Right let's ask the Palestinians in the West Bank how not resisting the occupiers has led to peace and security for them.2 points

The Jews were open to a two-state solution and living peacefully among the Arabs. The Palestinians have repeatedly demonstrated they are not. It is virtually certain that an independent Palestine would become a mini-Iran, and would immediately load up on heavy weapons preparatory to a full-scale attack on Israel. And based on Oct 7 it would be an invasion where every Israeli civilian in land overrun by the attackers would die. And you wonder why they aren't quick to accept this?2 points

Paul Manafort was 'a grave counterintelligence threat,' Republican-led Senate panel finds. “"The Committee found that Manafort's presence on the Campaign and proximity to Trump created opportunities for Russian intelligence services to exert influence over, and acquire confidential information on, the Trump campaign," according to the nearly 1,000-page report released Tuesday.” https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2020/08/18/senate-details-paul-manafort-ties-russian-intel-officer-kilimnik/3390437001/ Because Manafort repeatedly lied to investigators, his plea deal was revoked and he was sentenced to 90 months in Federal prison.2 points

Social Justice. Sounds like a reasonable concept, doesn't it? Of course, that depends on what kind of interpretation you put on it. Even the word 'justice' itself can be twisted, if you're of that kind of mindset. What is 'justice' to the Left? Generally, it means everyone gets the same outcomes, regardless of input. This is an outgrowth of the Left's long flirtation and broken-off love affair with Communism. For if the state owns all then all are equally wealthy. No one has more than anyone else. Regardless of effort, skill or talent. The Left applies this to its most recent love affair, which is with identity politics. All groups must be equal in all things, with white people being the base group. Any group that performs less well than whites are not to be seen as inferior, or making different choices due to different preferences and cultural beliefs, but as victims of white oppression. And thus it is the state's business to elevate that group to the point they are equal to whites. This ignores Asians, who generally perform better. Asians do not exist. They are a fantasy race that should never be considered in such efforts. The Left insists that it is the state's business to intervene if the number of men making widgets is noticeably higher than the number of women. It does not, however, care if the number of women making widgets is considerably higher than the number of men. The same consideration is given to various racial groups. The only requirement for social justice is that white people must not perform better than any other group. And since White people earn more than Black people the Left invented the idea of a great, amorphous systemic issue they termed 'systemic racism'. It's the cause of all inferior progress by Black people, you see. No, there's no actual evidence other than statistical superiority in some things by white people. But that will do. The Left seldom requires much in the way of evidence to solidify their beliefs in this or that faddish concept. Of course, the left has twisted other words of late. Like the word 'hate'. They adopted it about ten or fifteen years ago and have since embraced it as their favorite word. Now it used to be you could be prejudiced or bigoted - words well-defined in the dictionary, but no longer used. The Left made 'racism' their default word because it has a more sinister original definition and can be more readily hurled at their enemies (anyone NOT Left). But even racism wasn't enough as the number of groups the Left identified as requiring their protection grew. It doesn't really work for Muslims, for example, or Trans, or the disabled. So the Left decided to switch to "hate" instead. There can no longer be any prejudice or suspicion or doubt about any group. Now all that is gathered together under the term 'hate'. This makes it easier to craft rules and laws against it, like the Liberals' new online hate bill that will ban the expression of doubt or disbelief about anything regarding transgenderism (even though two thirds of Canadians have doubts about elements of the transgender activist demands). Opposing these demands will no longer be permitted. Just as opposing gay marriage, immigration, or open border can be defined as hate and allow for the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal to investigate you and perhaps bankrupt you with enormous fines. It doesn't take much to qualify as 'hate', either. One joke will do it. One offhand comment. Hiring the wrong person. Getting into an argument with the wrong person. Disagreeing with government policy. Even disagreeing with government policy that is deliberately crafted to be racist is defined as hate! But that's all part of how the Left changes language, then insists that anyone not changing with them is immoral and must be punished. The word 'retarded' became essentially forbidden and punishable as the Left switched to 'disabled'. Now that's no longer allowed as they've settled on 'differently abled'. You are hectored and lectured for saying 'illegal alien' and told to use 'undocumented alien' instead. You can't complain about the homeless. Now they're 'unhoused'. And once the Left abandons a word it becomes forbidden. Punishable by as much as they can get away with in a still-democratic society. They alone, of course, are the arbiters of what the word means. And that can change over time.1 point

1. Yes, but having the same origin doesn't mean that they're the same. Most philosophy comes from Aristotle and yet they contradict each other. Economic theories came from Adam Smith including Chicago School and Marx himself. 2. Did he ? Ok. What that has to do with this though is hard to understand. 3. Even if the BC NDP are trying to give the FN "control" of BC... which I'm pretty sure they're not... it's not Marxism. It's more like a liberal 'oopsie' or some crazy idea... You are terrible at arguing, you haven't explained why Marxist theory is related to 'woke'. Just saying that they both deal with 'oppressed' doesn't prove that. And you keep saying "New Marxists" all the way though... Anyway, like I say, just keep reading. Have a good day.1 point

So Trump will “end Marxism” by seizing private assets and using it to create a national university which will teach only subjects permitted by the national government leader? What is more Marxist than that?1 point
-
This is just a wild guess, but there are likely more pro-Palestinian demonstrations around the world because Muslims outnumber Jews about 1,250 to 1. This vote in Parliament is nothing more than crass domestic political posturing. The NDP want the muslim vote which outnumbers the jewish vote by about 4 to 1 and solves nothing. I too would like to see a 2 state solution, but it's inconceivable seeing the two 'living side by side with dignity' (as the present government puts it) as long as an Iran backed Hamas exists.1 point

400 million doesn't mean cash just lying around to spend on whatever, that is cash used to pay expenses by his company and they can't just wipe out their bank account. The whole system is jacked if you have to have the money to pay the judgement just to appeal, it is inherently unfair to anyone. So if he can't pay the judgement right this minute he isn't allowed to appeal the judgement? That makes no sense.1 point

Netenhayoo never accepted the 2 state solution. In fact he vehemently rejected it. You are assuming all Palestinians are Hamas. Nope, I don't wonder, I just see it and hear it on TV news (many broadcasters and newspapers, not just one or 2). Why is there world wide pro Palestine demonstrations but no or very few pro Israel demonstrations. Why are there anti netanyahoo demonstrations in Israel? Seems that netenyahoos desire to wipe out Hamas is more an effort to wipe out Palestine and Palestinian people? If it was anyone other than Israel, it would instantly be claimed as genocide.1 point

Try living somewhere that the MoneyMart went tits up! Loan sharks go broke... at one point two hookers were out by the gaas pumps underbidding each other..... waited out competition with a fancier shop and accredited employees cuz their overhead was a killer and I was training local kids with grant money and much lower rent. Bought all their entire stock for $900 as he would've lost money to pack and haul it away. bugged my cousin to move her cappuccino shop up here, they'd just built a new University and no one else sold that there. She could've charges a dollar more than on Hastings St. and customers would be grateful to get it. But of course UNBC was too far, too cold, not a place for convertibles, couldn't go see Mick Jagger perform in Depends for $200 or haunt the malls in Bellingham... She eventually gave up trying to market by selling for a dime less than the other 5 shops on the block. I'll tell you again that you live in the best country on Earth with limitless opportunities.

This article by Professor Phillip Stott gives a very good overview of the theory of evolution. quote Evolution has played such a major role in shaping modern society that it is essential for every member of our culture to understand the theory, the evidence for it, and its implications. It is more difficult than one might first expect to discover exactly what the theory of evolution says. One reason is that it has changed drastically over the relatively brief period that it has been the ruling paradigm of Western thought. Changes are not usually broadcast to the general public. (See Arthur S. Lodge's search for a definition.) When the theory first became popular, following Charles Darwin’s proposal of natural selection as the means to drive the process, it was a simple and very appealing hypothesis. Life was rather simple in those days. Algae, amoebae and such humble creatures were blobs of protoplasm which Darwin postulated might have just happened in some warm little pond by the chance coming together of chemicals. It was rather easy to imagine that a few relatively simple changes in this protoplasm could lead to developmental change, and that natural selection would ensure that better adaptation would be preserved. Changes which led to worse adaptation would die out as poorly adapted creatures would perish in the struggle for existence and fail to leave offspring with their inferior design. The idea of natural processes bringing complex life forms from simple ones, which themselves came from dead matter, logically leads to the idea of all things having arisen by chance through purely natural processes. This way of looking at the world is reflected in the definition given in Evolution and Genetics by Julian Huxley, one of the most influential evolutionists of all time :- "Evolution, in the extended sense, can be defined as a directional and essentially irreversible process occurring in time, which in its course gives rise to an increase of variety and an increasingly high level of organization in its products. Our present knowledge indeed forces us to the view that the whole of reality is evolution - a single process of self transformation." For many years this was the accepted view. It is still the view put forward in popular literature, the media and school text-books. But in "scientific circles" it has become an embarrassment. It contradicts the best established law in the whole of science. The Law in question is the Second Law of Thermodynamics. In language easily understood this law guarantees that any physical system subject only to natural processes follows a downward path to ever lower levels of energy, it becomes more disorganized - it suffers decay. For many years supporters of the theory attempted to overlook the contradiction between evolution’s requirement (self transformation to ever higher levels of organization), and the Second Law’s exactly opposite requirement, by claiming that the Second Law applies only to "closed systems" in which no energy enters from outside. Few now try to support this discredited position, (see, for example, The Mystery of Life's Origins) and changes in the definition of evolution itself have been brought in to address the problem. Another difficulty for the theory has come from microbiology. As scientists have learned how to examine life in ever greater detail, Darwin’s picture of organisms consisting of a few simple chemicals has given way to one of mind-boggling complexity even in the most humble of creatures. The lowly E coli bacterium possesses not only miniature electric motors of outstanding efficiency, but also the apparatus to build, repair, maintain and operate them - as well as the electricity-generating system to power them. As it has become possible to calculate the probabilities of evolution’s mechanisms producing evolution’s supposed results, ever growing numbers of scientists have become convinced that there are problems which the theory is unable to cope with. Many are now seriously considering intelligent design as an alternative. As the founder of the "cult" of evolution, Charles Darwin and his magnum opus, the Origin of Species are presented for study. A more modern text, an Introduction to Evolutionary Biology by Chris Colby shows the enormous change which has taken place in evolutionary thinking in the last century. My annotations are rather full and attempt to show what I see to be the weakness of much of modern evolutionary thinking. I recommend this annotated work as showing the case for and against the modern theory. The antipathy between evolution and Christianity is sometimes denied. This idea is examined in "Creation, Evolution and the Christian" . The weakness of evolution as a "scientifically" defensible position and the truth that it is largely a religious question is very ably presented by Philip Johnson, professor of law at the University of California, Berkley. Johnson's position deserves some explanation. The "scientific" press is a tightly controlled unit which does not allow any neutral discussion of evolution, the time scale or Einstein. Any paper questioning orthodoxy, or submitted by a scientist known to be skeptical of orthodoxy, is simply denied publication. Any scientist questioning the orthodoxy is ostracized and outcast. Scientists are then able to set up a vicious circle to exclude debate. Such questions could only be seriously considered if they were discussed in the reputable journals. Any attempt to bring such discussion to the journals is prevented by editorial policy. The situation was brought into the spotlight in the chapter "The Scientific Mafia" in "Velikovski Reconsidered." A recent example can be seen in Persecution of Richard Sternberg. Philip Johnson is a highly respected professor of law. The secular humanist watchdogs apparently anticipated no danger from this field. They did not, apparently, set up a similar exclusion principle for lawyers. Johnson was able to question Darwinism by comparing the strength of the evidence put forward to support it with that required by a court of law - without the weight of his entire profession descending to crush and stifle him. His position is expressed very simply in an interview with Citizen Magazine. Johnson's examination of the stand of influential liberal Reformed Christian scientists can be seen in "The Hostage Takers." The internet has many of his articles examples being "What is Darwinism," a well reasoned account of what evolution really is - a philosophical necessity of atheism. "The Church of Darwin" is a look at Darwinists aims for education. "Shouting Heresy in the Temple of Darwin" and "Darwinism's Rules of Reasoning" reinforce his analysis of the way Darwinists operate. Johnson has been involved in may debates -on the subject. An example ("How Did We Get Here?" with Kenneth Miller) reproduced here is typical. Many more of his contributions on the subject can be found on the Internet. A major contribution to the question of the credibility of evolution was Michael Behe's book "Darwin's Black Box," in which he drew attention to many marvelous micro-biological systems which exhibit what he termed "irreducible complexity." The importance of irreducible complexity is that Darwin had stated that if any case could be brought forward where development could not have been achieved by small successive advances, then his theory would be disproved. Irreducible systems provide that disproof. Evolutionists have fought irreducible complexity fiercely, but many scientists have become convinced that intelligent design is an undeniable feature of living organisms, and a strong "Intelligent Design" group has emerged. Many articles by Behe and the Design group can be found on the internet. Behe explains his stand in Evidence for Intelligent Design. One of his colleagues, William Dembski's "Still Spinning" illustrates the tricky tactics of the opponents of design and how they can be dealt with. Non-biologists have increasingly entered the evolutionary arena. Examples are given from well know mathematician, and philosopher David Berlinski, ("The Deniable Darwin" and "Keeping an Eye on Darwin" ). Physicist Lee Spetner in A Scientific Critique of Evolution demonstrates an important point for anyone wanting to enter the arena. The claims of the evolutionist are expounded with intimidating authority, and a superior knowledge of the scientific literature is needed to show up their fatuous claims for what they are. Despite the evolutionist's bluster and the total commitment of the scientific establishment to supporting it, I believe most would concede that evolution is in its weakest and most unconvincing state for many years. (See for example, Atheism In Decline Everywhere) However weak or strong the orthodox evolutionist's position may appear to be though, it would be unwise to be swayed simply by the strongest "scientific" argument. As can be seen by contrasting Darwin and Colby, "science" changes its mind - sometimes very quickly. Whichever side is considered to have the strongest arguments today may find itself discomfited by new arguments tomorrow. The Word of God though remains the same for ever. God is true though all men be liars. unquote Studies in Evolution - Reformation International Schools (refcm.org)1 point

All i am going to say about this is good bye old whitey. White people will soon become a small minority in Canada in the next decade or so. Even the Marxist dictator in Ottawa has once said that he despised people from the old traditional sources of Canada's immigration policy of long ago that came from Britain and Europe. Trudeau wants to bring in over a 500 thousand more new immigrants every year from third world countries. Not to forget to mention bringing in more temporary workers plus students from wherever. Now why would a supposedly white person would like to do such a thing? Why? Is it because they say that Castro Trudeau is probably the son of the communist dictator himself Castro? Hey, we never know, eh? There should be no way a white person would want to try and destroy his own white race like this buffoon is trying to do in Canada these days. Our roads are getting very busy, our infrastructure and environment is under attack, there are not enough homes or jobs available for all of these new unwanted and unneeded millions of new immigrants coming here, and nobody seems to care. This immigration policy of today is and will be a bloody disaster for Canada if it is not stopped. We need to implement a moratorium on immigration for at least five years before Canada becomes just another third world hell hole. Just my opinion. 😏1 point
