but the Communism is emanating from Canada it is the native born Canadians who are propagating the Marxist Leninist ideology through the Academy, public schools & universities the immigrants who come to Canada now are in fact shocked to discover that Canada is ruled by Bolsheviks

She has the Hillary Clinton syndrome. It's as if for her she should be the next president because it's what the people owe her. The entitlement is really demonstratable when it comes to her. She has no movement behind her, meaning that there are no grassroot movements in the nation to push ideas Kamala Harris is pushing, because there isn't much to her. She repeats whatever kind of slogans her donors impose her to say. She isn't senile. She's just throwing word salads everywhere she goes. A quick example; She doesn't come out as sincere, but a very over ambitious person that's here for herself and only herself. She doesn't speak to nobody except the typical burnt out corporate lady making 7 figures in Los Angeles and Manhattan.

The issue for social conservatives is always about not throwing the baby out with the bath water when making “improvements”. It’s basically about the importance of wisdom, because not all that is shiny and new has value, and in fact, there’s a great deal of fool’s gold for sale. We have to be very careful not to conduct social experiments wherein the risks outweigh potential promised benefits. I only came to these conclusions in recent years when I began to feel that the world in which my friends and family are living and working feels worse than it did not that many years ago. I check myself continually to see if this is about age and generational differences, and I chalk some of my misgivings up to that, but certainly not all of them. I think we’re shooting ourselves in the feet on some of the matters that seemed like progress to most people not long ago: drug liberalization, MAID, gender ideology, carbon taxes, extreme government borrowing and spending, etc. We’re seeing the confusion grow as living standards, free speech, and healthy guidance decline.

No, thank you.

Who are these people you keep lumping me and others with when you say, “You people”? Painting everyone you disagree with with the same brush and assuming that they all have the same views on every issue is ignorant.

The assumption that social conservatives are fascists is unsubstantiated, misleading, and stupid.

People often ask how PP will be able to reduce the deficit. Simply allowing fewer refugees in so that we dont' have to spend massive dollars to house and provide for them is an example of how costs can be cut without cutting services to Canadians at all. I'm all for helping people, but it should go without saying that we help our own people first. Helping others have a home shouldn't come at the cost of putting our people on the street.

History does not have “sides”. Your narration is false: The British handed off to the UN, the UN parting plan of 1947, that would have created 2 states was accepted by the Jews and rejected by Arabs: “The Jewish Agency, which was the Jewish state-in-formation, accepted the plan, and nearly all the Jews in Palestine rejoiced at the news. The partition plan was rejected by the Palestinian Arab leadership and by most of the Arab population.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandatory_Palestine#:~:text=In%20September%201947%2C%20the%20British,of%20the%20Homeland%20is%20illegal. The British were gone. After 1948, Gaza was then fully under the control of Egypt and the West Bank was ruled by Jordan. There we no Jews in these lands. No, the PLO was formed to eliminate the state of Israel. Also false. Proposing that there is some kind of equivalency between Israel and the Palestinians is also false. Let’s compare: Israel, warts and all, are defending their people: -Their constitution is one of peace -As a country, they have the power to kill/displace all Palestinians, yet they restrain -Practically every young Israeli goes through military service and walks around with a machine gun, yet they restrain -Build bomb shelters and the Iron Dome to defend their civilians -In Israel, there are 2 million Arab-Israelis with full citizenship and rights living in peace and security -Israel is among the best countries in the world for women's rights -Ditto for other minority rights -Ditto for free speech, religion and other civil rights Hamas, in contrast: -Openly calls for the destruction of Israel in their constitution -Rapes women and celebrates this and violence -Kidnaps babies and seniors -Promises to repeat the attacks of 10/7 -Rewards people and their families for killing Jews -Fires rockets into Israel -Uses civilians as human shields -Kills homosexuals -Women's rights? -Minority rights? -Free speech and democracy? Israel is defending itself from violence. If even the Palestinian violence stops – there will be no more Israeli violence. How much more proof do you need: -Peace with Arab-Israelis -Peace or building towards peace with the majority of all neighboring countries You are making my point: a guy goes for a walk and this triggers a wave suicide bombers. Gaza was not an “open air prison”: Before 10/7/2023 the standard of living in Gaza is comparable to all other Arab countries https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_Human_Development_Index_by_region Don’t forget to tell the “other side” of your so-called balanced historical narrative, the election of Hamas then the civil war in Gaza followed by rocket attacks. False: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_citizens_of_Israel is nothing like: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Crow_laws#:~:text=The%20Jim%20Crow%20laws%20were,term%20for%20an%20African%20American. I can think of nowhere else in the world where any group of refugees have this so called “right of return” and live in “refugee camps” for 76 years. From the millions of displaced Germans, Hindus, and others in the 20th century to the millions fleeing Syria and Ukraine in our century. Segregated? Israeli-Arabs are full members of Israeli society. Did you know that Arabic is one of the official languages of Israel? Free movement of Palestinians is restricted due to violence. Want proof: look at the number of suicide bombings before and after the construction of the wall. So, what would happen to the Jewish community in Hebron without state protection? 20 % of Israel is non-Jewish, so wouldn’t it be reasonable if 20% of a state of Palestine be non-Arab?

Many Canadians (French, English, whatever) don't like Trump. Often, these English-Canadians don't like America - CBC, Atwood, NDP etc. Yet these same Canadians think that NATO is a good thing. They want Ukraine to join NATO. What if Trump (or someone like him -Nixon, Reagan...) is elected US President? ===== To me, NATO was an arrangement to defeat the Soviet Union. As Reagan said, we won. We no longer need NATO. Nowadays, despite what Trump says, NATO is a way to make Canadians taxpayers buy military equipment made in the US.

Newsweek: "However, at least 25 U.S. House members on Tuesday were "preparing to call for Biden to step aside" if he "seems shaky in coming days," according to a Reuters report based on the comments of an anonymous Democratic House aide." Isn't that weird. 25 democrats dont want to honor the results of the primaries, as chosen by their own supporters. Now, didn't they claim Republicans were worse than Hitler because they wouldn't accept the results of an election without knowing the circumstances?

This is just a scheme to tax internet companies and raise more money while at the same time censoring news and depriving Canadians of their free use of the internet.

Oooops .... I think you broke him again @West Apparently everything would be clear if you had just monitored Biden's golf scores! you had ONE job man. ONE job.

3 terms and we throw them out... LOL

it's like Roman Judea in 33 AD what a blessing it is to walk with the Nazarene through a pagan wilderness of thorns in Biblical times rejoice in the face of every tribulation on the road to Calvary souls are forged by crucible therein, this is why we are here love thine enemies, with no fears on earth : sic itur ad astra, excelsior

with one caveat the Nazarene will not use force the road to Calvary ends at Golgotha where we are all crucified in the end for some future generation we will never meet the power & the glory of Christ

That's very true. But unfortunately there is another reason as well. It is to keep them feeling separate and segregated. There is a lot of money and political power for people like democrats and other left wing groups that @Black Dog supports to be had from preventing black and other marginalized groups from feeling connected to the US or it's culture. That's what makes it easy to exploit them. So of course he's going to push like hell to promote anything that keeps these people from feeling separated from and distinct from us culture when in fact they're every bit a part of us culture these days as anyone else.

Ducimus, brother we will dig our graves behind the ramparts

What didn't 14 years of Conservative govt not botch completely.

This weekend looks like it's gonna be beautiful, you should head to the lake, get some sun, drown yourself.

They've done that to vax-injured people and veterans here as well. Cdn gov't: "Awww, boo-hoo. Poor you. Just lay a tarp down inside your front door and we'll send someone over to handle it right away."

Gore initially refused to concede the election to Bush. They did a recount of the Florida results and after a recount, Bush was found to have won by a few hundred votes. Not quite as over the top as Trump's refusal but it laid the groundwork. https://www.politico.com/story/2016/10/al-gore-donald-trump-results-230062

The real question is how do we keep Communists and Socialists out of Canada or prevent more from coming in? Problem is they are already here. How do we convince them their ideology is destructive to Canada. Socialism is why Canada is tens of billions of dollars in debt and there is a cost of living crisis, housing crisis, and food price crisis.

but the Nazarene was not a social conservative He invoked a radical overthrow of the socially conservative order Christianity is the ultimate revolution

Honestly, I feel it's been more of a progression. I feel like every election in the last 24 years in the states has further eroded the peoples respect for and trust in democracy and neither side believes in fair or free elections anymore. This is led to more and more civil pressure which has begun to spill over into civil unrest and I see that simply getting worse and worse as time moves forward unless there is a major reset in order to restore people's confidence. Most of us think the fire starts when we see the first flame but in reality generally speaking things were probably heating up a long time before that got to that point.

Yes, i got the same impression that he had an idea in his head but it wound up coming out garbled because his brain just can't keep up these days. And he sounded horrible. but - that's exactly what we've been seeing, that's dementia at work. Anyone can have a slip of the tongue now and again but with him it's chronic and it's because he just can't think and talk as well as he used to due to his diminished capacity.

The clock is broken all the time now.

A little history lesson for all you flag burning communists. The Declaration of Independence: "The Declaration of Independence, unanimously approved by the second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, created a new nation, the "United States of America." Written primarily by Thomas Jefferson, it formally "dissolved the connection" between the thirteen American colonies (which were now using the name the "United Colonies") and Britain. July 4 is still celebrated as the nation's birthday. The document enshrines the basic values of republicanism as the foundation of America, referred to as Americanism; it inspired similar declarations in over a hundred countries. The Declaration of Independence includes the most influential sentence even written in the English language: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." Progressive historians have attempted to re-write history and leave the impression that No taxation without representation was the only reason for American Independence, when there were actually 27 colonial grievances cited against the king." https://www.conservapedia.com/Declaration_of_Independence

1. Even if it had demand, it could be ill founded. For example, crying foul and whining about the unavailability of workers could be a pretext used by business owners to increase the number of workers to pit them one against each other and bring wages lower. It should be based on the unemployment rate in certain sectors. A rate below 3% in a sector could be a good benchmark for allowing temporary foreign workers for example. 2. Good on the left. 3. Sure, but grocery stores are based in Canada mostly, same as banks and financial institutions. Plus, you may not be the CEO but you may own multiple Tim Hortons' branches across Canada and still make bank on the fact that you're underpaying your staff. 4. Yes.

Because we're importing it.

Well, that's a lie. WASHINGTON/ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE (Reuters) - President Donald Trump forged a surprising deal with Democrats in Congress on Wednesday to extend the U.S. debt limit and provide government funding until Dec. 15, embracing his political adversaries and blindsiding fellow Republicans in a rare bipartisan accord. President Donald Trump suggested at a meeting with senators Wednesday that the Senate create a bipartisan working group for tax reform, surprising Republicans who’ve been planning to pass a party-line bill, senators said afterward. Pelosi and Schumer Say They Have Deal With Trump to Replace DACA I mean, I could go on. That was just from 2017. The bigger question is, why would you tell such a lie? It was incredibly easy to debunk. Did you actually believe what you said?

I do not buy into the narrative that she rose to the top by sleeping with the right guys. That being said, I have coworkers who have worked with her directly and apparently she is about as unpleasant as the onset of herpes. And these coworkers are fairly liberal so it is not a matter of ideological disconnect. Biden for all his lack of charisma and mental faculties seems like he would be fairly easy to work with. as an aside.. worked with a Democratic governor. That was a test of one's patience to say the least. We have deliverables that would go to him. Before publishing.. by law, we had to have his approval. Such a scatterbrain. Sometimes, it was a few hours and sometimes it was 6 to 8 weeks. Does not really do anything to publish a summary of June 2020 data in Mid August 2020.

For reasons that I can't articulate as succinctly as I want.. Americans really do not want Kamala Harris as president. The biggest reason is that off camera.. she is quite unpleasant. She lacks the ability to work with the other side. Too rigid and too confrontational to really do the job.

1. True but on a macro level. We should cut back if there's no demand for the workers coming in, obviously. 2. The 'left' has been saying this for years. 3. Well sure but Tim Horton's is a fine Canadian company headquartered in... uh... Brazil ? 4. Agree. And let's publicize the earnings of these people-importers crying poor too ?

No comment on the validity. However, want to commend the OP on writing something that was concise, coherent, and used quantitative data. A lot of the time you read these and the bias is as clear as day.. not quite this time. Job well done.

CndFox you math needs work.

And I don't like the fact that Halifax was mentioned, it's nothing more than a weak attempt to show the city in a bad light. We could encapsulate the entire thing in a headline that said: Group of people with penises attack two people with vaginas in a medium sized city. Absurdity is easier than I imagined, even I can do it. I could even take it a step further and agree that it's not even news worthy.... since they admit to having provoked the people with penises they got exactly what they asked for, right? In future, as the Muslim population in Canada increases and their interactions with the letter people become more common, I expect the woke dance will become increasingly frantic and liberal heads will start exploding all across the country.

Yeah - damn NBC.

I am not sure you did more than make a couple of vague claims that there were... did you offer a specific example?

Oh, really. So why do black people "need" a black history month? Why do black people get to have a "black culture" and white people don't? LOL

Still making friends i see, you keep trying one day you'll grow up...

we could just enforce the laws as they are written, these people arriving illegally could be turned around given back to the US...Call them a cab and send them on there way...they landed in the US first, which i don't mean to be a pri*k but thats their problem...or deport them, at their own expense....return to sender..

The 7th stage is not remembering how to spell Dementia. LMAO Better get checked out OP.

You know what the definition of unfalsifiable means, but the logical implications are beyond you. That tracks. You're one of the only people on this forum that demands cites for negative claims. 🤣 First, plants consume CO2. I'll assume you know that. Second, CO2 in the atmosphere is measured in PPM. You'll have to show us your "sources".

The other thing to note here is the degree to which fossil fuel companies are able to control the agenda to extend the consciousness of climate change denial. The conspiracy people folks will be long dead and hated of/when the impacts are being felt. I think it's when not if.

Dork !! LOL Elected in 2008. Became leader in 2013. Voted as PM in 2015. Frack, you cannot even Google for answers LOL A loser Dork LOL

Not my holiday...we had ours on Monday. But ya...Happy Independence Day my friend. With just a little luck...the next year will be much more sensible and prosperous. As it sits now...a very little bit of luck is all that's needed.
