I actually think Canada needs to hold back funding to Quebec until the out of province tuition fees are lowered and the settler tax removed. Treating fellow Canadians like foreigners gives non-Quebecers the right to treat Quebec like a foreign country. We don’t pay for services and infrastructure in foreign countries. Anglophone rights in Quebec must also be guaranteed.

Did Clinton write it off as a tax deduction or business expense? Is Clinton running for President? Does our sphincter sucking Russian troll think he can win over adults with common sense an minimal intelligence using a "Johnny shit on the carpet, I only peed on it" argument?

No - i call the people who continue to support him and pretend he's never been found to be in violation of the law liars that support corruption. That's you sparky. Remember when you tried again to deny he'd ever been found guilty of violations? That was 5 minutes ago on the other thread. Despite the fact we disucssed this many times before and i've provided the proof. YOU are exactly the kind of person we need less of in this country - we need people who will hold gov't to account. The conservatives destroyed the PC party when it became corrupt - you just keep voting trudeau in.

This is a problem. The last line of defense against corruption and evil gov'ts in a democracy are the people. And too many have given that job up in favour of tribalism and echo chambers. This was a point i've made to another poster here many times and again yesterday i believe - if we the voter are not willing to punish parties when they are caught being corrupt and we reward them with a new gov't at election time then we are basically guaranteeing that things will get worse and worse. I don't care if it's justin trudeau or brian mulroney or chretien or whomever - if we see genuine corruption (not just a few scketchy decisions or broken promises but real corruption like the aga khan or SNC or WE) then no matter what party you prefer you should move to eliminate that corrupt party from power. Vote against them, don't vote at all, speak out - whatever. Help someone else win, If every political party knew Canadians would tend to do that - they would be a LOT less likely to do anything corrupt knowing they were gone if they do. Until that happens all the 'transparency' in the world won't help.

Yes, and Canadians outside Quebec are questioning the value of pumping a disproportionately high amount of tax revenue into Quebec with few benefits for the rest of Canada, not to mention the already baked in preferential rules for Quebec on immigration, pensions, etc. in our asymmetrical federation. All options available to Quebec should be available to all provinces. The Conservatives understand the value of ensuring that all provinces have as much power and self-determination as possible. The federal government should only be focusing on their essential responsibilities and getting them right: defence, ports, air travel, Canada Post, passports, etc.

Well the other question is how do various areas within quebec feel about it? For example - what's to stop the first nations from deciding they want to stay part of canada and voting to secede fom quebec? If quebec demands they have the right to leave canada, then they have to agree those areas have the right to leave quebec. It's a null threat. And that question has been asked already twice, Just throw them out.

Not just the forget part, it's chiding others for not forgetting that irks me. These folks can do the chicken dance until their feathers fall out but those feathers reinforce the fact that advocates for mass amnesia were, and remain, unapologetically wrong about most of what they previously said. Not long ago they ridiculed people for asking grade 13 biology questions, now they would do the same for anyone who remembers the wrong answers they (themselves) provided. They're now suggesting I just forget the damage done (on a variety of fronts) and accept their assurance that it won't happen again... the answer is hell no. To me, the manipulation of data speaks to intent and its that intent that highlights the difference between government/media/pharma efforts and those of Nancy. Nancy has a lot invested here too, she subjected her neighbours to a lot of grief and now can't abide the idea that she got it all wrong. As a result Nancy defends the indefensible in a way that leaves the authors of it not having to. That's what worries me here, so patting me on the head, mixing in a few condescending remarks and suggesting that I should move on because the Governor has moved on suggests that the governor needs to be fired. I might not be smart enough to untangle all of the stats but I remain concerned about the intent behind obvious differences in presentation. Ya it's Rebel News but like her, I have a few questions about intent. The sooner those get answered the sooner I'll move on. In the meantime there's about zero chance that dancing chickens will have much sway.

The solution is as it always has been - more powers to the provinces and less with the feds. Focus the feds on core issues and that's it, if quebec wants anti gun laws and alberta doesn't problem solved, But quebec can't keep threatening to separate every five minutes and it can't keep asking for sweeter deals just for itself. If that's what it wants hit the road.

Vaccine is recommended for everyone between 6 months and at least 97 years because it's safe and effective.

I'll be gobsmacked if you even provide it from your crackpot source.

Crackpot research? Meanwhile the CDC approves SARS-COV-2 vaccine for everyone over the age of 6 months. Of course if was me it wouldn't just be approval but an order...like a fatwa or something.

you fight human nature on this one. No matter the person.. we tend to fixate on only the most extreme of cases. Nobody cares about the second round pick in the NBA that average 3.3 points per game. We care about Luka Doncic, Nikola Jokic, or Victor Wembanyama.. the least ordinary.

For sure - but the problem they run into is that they pretend they're lilly white clean. And when you wear a white shirt and get mud all over you it's pretty obvious. Trump makes no such claims. And people expect him to be a bit of a muddy person. So when he gets mud on him everyone's like 'meh.' the dems think they can win throwing mud at trump - but they just get themselves dirty and it doesn't make trump look worse.

This impeachment was absolutely a farcical political stunt. Literally no meat on the bone. It shouldn't have happened, but given the fact that it did, I'm not sure dismissal is any better for the country. As is often the case, the damage will be due later. The Republicans have established impeachment as a political stunt rather than a constitutional remedy for real problems. In response, the Democrats have established summary dismissal of impeachment along party lines. So where does that leave impeachment as a tool the next time something real comes along? The next time someone like Trump tries to extort foreign leaders for political campaign assistance?

They mostly come here to scratch an itch that they can't out in the open. If they were so impassioned, uncivil, and prejudicial as they are here.. they would lose their jobs, relationships would erode, and such. I am the same guy on here as I am in real life. That being said... on here or another forum, they can whine and complain ceaselessly. In real life, most folks like to complain as well but not quite to the degree of some on here.

one of the main lessons that I have learned in nearly 47 years on this earth is that Americans and their close counterparts have a passion for complaining. The American pastime used to be baseball. That has been replaced by whining, complaining, and bit_hing. No matter the time.. we find a way to keep the whambulance running.

I am not sheeple... I never cared all that much about the topic besides some minor workplace implications. Well.. keep on talking to yourself. It has to be rewarding and satisfying to have conversations with yourself. I guess one can admire your dedication even if it results in absolutely nothing. I am not wired that way. Hours and hours to no benefit is wasteful in my world.

I say it because it's true, and telling the truth is how i show i care. You're just a tribal loser who can't cope with the truth and lashes out when it doesn't agree with his echo chamber.

As you always do.. you make assumptions. But there is this thing called reading comprehension. I never state what you or anyone should do. My comments are about what is.. repeat what is. "What is" does not contain the word "should". I know that you must have dyslexia and therefore you impose that word in there. Just interesting how you know that no one is listening and yet you keep carrying on. Seems like if you want your words to have a tangible impact.. you would move on to more relevant and current topics.

Ahhh yes - we're back to 'it's harper's fault". You are literally arguing that it makes more sense to keep voting in people who break the laws rather than people who tried to stop them from breaking the laws. Again - you are the problem. Not the system, not the laws - we know he got caught breaking the law. As long as you keep supporting him and defending him as you are here instead of punishing him for breaking the law then things will get no better.

herbie . . . they're playing your song.

That pretty much sums it up. They were definitely wrong to pretend that young, healthy people needed a vaccine, given all of the info that was available at the time they said it, but in this day and age a disingenuous, false apology is usually enough to appease the lie-weary public. Case in point: Trudeau managed to skate on the WE scandal just by saying "I shoulda recused myself from the obvious decision to choose WE [to rake in a billion dollars and divert large sums of it down to my mom]". He basically just threw some BS into a sentenced that was framed like a half-hearted/fake apology and CBC and CTV declared him fully repented: "Hallelujah, brothers and sisters! Behold the glory of our Golden Child, who is free from sin, and humble in the face of shameful accusations!"

I think both nancy and the gov't have the same problem in that respect. I could understand the argument "Well, we made the best choices with the information we had at the time and even tho later evidence shows we made some bad decisions given the circumstances at that moment we believe we did the right thing". I would disagree with it but at least it would be logically defensible as a rational position But instead we get denial and "why are you still talking", etc etc. And that seriously concerns me

Before Quebec holds the referendum, I hope they know they are not going to take all the land that the province encompasses now. Removing certain areas could negatively affect the rest of Canada and are not likely to be given up. Before they actually separate, there will have to be negotiations. They do not have the right to unilaterally declare a sovereign state of Quebec. They are part of a confederation and the Federal government represents all of Canada under the authority of His Majesty the King. That means, separation requires negotiation. Quebec is not a sovereign country yet and doesn't have the power by simply holding a referendum to declare themselves a sovereign state.

we literally did a whole thread on this where i posted sources. Moonbat also posted one he thought at first refuted it but it turns out it actually agreed with it You posted on those threads. So i know you're just sealioning, , But just for fun, this once, i'll post info AGAIN and PRETEND you're not being a dishonest turd, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9880674/ Six studies reported an incidence greater than 15 cases per 100,000 persons (or doses) in males aged 12–24 after dose 2 of an mRNA‐based vaccine. The covid death rate for unvacinated males in that age range is a tiny fraction of that, There are numerous others. Funny how you managed to forget all that.

Who's stopping you . . . . just go.

Go out in the wild and see how far your rights get you.

Yes the fact apparently still remains that Venandi is accepting the word of a troll without anything to corroborate why. Perhaps he, she, they, whatever is looking for something and will post it. Lord knows you never have.

Can you prove that's what your crackpot research source actually says? I can believe it does but without a cite, who else would? Don't you guys share this stuff amongst yourselves or does it all come to you via Q?

Who found him again? Who is this We you're talking about, you were there too or something? You say the same thing about anyone who doesn't kiss your ass around here.

Thank you for acknowledging that. At least, recognizing the issue would draw a narrower path to a solution.

Quite a few people have never worked in the health care field nor taken any course (high school, community college, or standard university). Someone with absolutely no working or educational background does not qualify as an expert with me. If It does with you.. then so be it. Everyone can have an opinion. And I am free to not take truly non-expert opinions into account. Where we differ is that I found that both sides were chalk full of these conveniently created experts. Some truly bizarre stuff came out during the heart of it. As for reading up on it... that's what I do and not just do a simple google search and find something that agrees with me. If i care about a topic, I tear it down to the studs (so to speak) and do not take subjective opinions into account until the very end.

Here is where we differ.. I found there to be faux experts on both sides.. pro vax and anti vax. I can sniff out a faux expert on economics, statistics, and programming within about 2 minutes usually. Yes, there are quite a few of them.

Yes. So hilarious. Why do you think Canada didn't use the $2 billion in ventilators? Who cares, right? It's only $2 billion and thank gawd Frank Bayliss, Liberal party insider, was able to make a f*c9ton of money off them.

Again I don't disagree, but I've noticed on this forum it's almost impossible to have constructive conversations about....... Well most things. So I'm really just interested, in seeing if people can actually back up what they say and when he mentioned logic seemed like a great time to push. I was never into philosophy, until I found logic recently and how it applies to every time we communicate. Now that I've "learned" and "understand" the terminology, it's also something fun to apply to everyday conversations. I've talked myself out of certain positions because I realized my reasoning was fallacious. Logic is awesome !

This thread is about Trump’s stock, which is falling like a rock. It’s not about immigration. It is about Trump’s failure as a businessman. His company now has a market cap of $3.1 billion. If Fat Man sold all of his shares, he would make $1.7 billion. Thats nothing to sneeze at… but obviously, there’s no way you can dump 57% of a company’s outstanding shares on the market and not see the stock price fall 50% or more. And what would his faithful followers do? Buy the stock that Donald is dumping? Are they that gullible? Are you?

I celebrate both sleeping and waking. IF you don't wake, you're dead.

It’s always about money and freedom of opportunity. Canada is losing its once very strong brand because our Liberal-NDP federal government can’t help but overreach into every area of people’s lives and every political jurisdiction. The question Canadians are rightly asking is, What’s the upside? Our military and federal bureaucracies such as Passports and Immigration are dysfunctional. Taxes are rising, wages are stagnant, cost of living is rising, and freedom of speech is weakening. The promises of the budget balancing itself and $10 a day daycare for all are falling flat as government and debt balloon out of all proportion, even as the feds continue to borrow money to make more announcements for programs we can’t afford. No one is fooled. In this climate, of course provinces will talk independence. The Canadian model isn’t looking great right now. The 5 year federal term limit is simply too long in Canada. Everyone knows that the NDP will prop up this government no matter how bad it is in order to hold onto seats. Everyone knows the debt hole is growing fast and Canada is a slow moving inefficient machine right now. Other than safety from gun violence and better public K-12 education (perhaps no longer given the mandated woke anti-Canada and pro-LGBTQ indoctrination), why would anyone choose Canada over the US? We’ve lost so much in eight years.

BS, this case is based on him breaking a misdemeanor law that is way past the statute of limitations, a law that Hilary Clinton broke as well and the biggest difference between the 2 is Trump hid payments to a porn star who was extorting him which had nothing to do with capaign payments and Hilary hid payments to a oppo group to create the debunked Steele Dossier for the campaign, which was a direct campaign law violation. Also this was a case that the feds wouldn't touch. This whole case is based on "intent" to break another law that he wasn't even indicted for because the only way they can make falsifying business documents a felony is by linking it to the pursuit of a felony. Of course it is all conjecture on which felony Trump was pursuing because Alvin hasn't said. This case is the weakest case of them all but they have a judge presiding over it whose daughter is receiving financial benefits from the case since her company helps raise money for Democrats and she is using this case to fund raise off of. This judge has placed a gag order on Trump where it allows the witnesses to taint the jury pool by letting them talk all the trash they want about Trump on national television but Trump cannot respond.

Only a fool would believe such a thing At least, that's what my talking guinea pig told me.

Do you believe in a real talking serpent and donkey?

I support Quebec's separation and always have. Achieving their aspiration will increase the opportunities for Vancouver Island's liberation.

No. They'll elect Trump potus because he did a better job than Brandon has.

Trump will do fine in court UNLESS the EVIDENCE AGAINST HIM IS DAMNING. Duh. Of course, YOU KNOW IT IS, and the juries will CONVICT him on that damning EVIDENCE. ONLY the MAGA CULT will vote for Trump. Too bad you CANNOT.

Oh yeah, almost forgot There is no such thing as a creation scientist that is literally an oxymoron

First neither atheism nor secular humanism have anything to do with science. Second there are plenty of scientists that believe in God in all fields of study. Third you really don't care to understand the other side do you? If any scientist could provide testable novel predictions for either the existence of God or that evolution is false they'd win a Nobel prize and be the most famous scientist on earth. They don't because they can't. The hypocrisy of you calling the cumulative knowledge of multiple scientific disciplines biased when you get your information from a website called creation.com is astounding. If that alone doesn't make you at least curious enough to just look at what the scientific community says on the topic, you're not just ignorant you're willfully ignorant and that is an insult.

Countering the argument that Canada is not antisemetic by invoking the argument that systematic racism exists so therefore it must be is as out in left field as one can go, as is the statement that Jews must be a favoured race otherwise. As is the usual right wing racist whine that implying that rightwing racists exist is decrimination against hetero WASPs. An argument used only by racists too stupid to realize they are the problem and unashamed to voice it. Getting into etymology is a pretty desperate way to substantiate a case when used by people that love to throw words like "communism, left, nazi, fascist" about without even knowing their actual meaning.

Gods are human contraptions too - emphasis on the con.

Rights are a human invention, there is no such thing in nature.
