The virus was and still is dangerous, but the vaccine made it more endemic and manageable (although there will always be variants). It was such a success, the people who fought it must now spend the rest of their lives trying to convince everyone else that they weren't played for fools by internet memes.2 points

How can you be so uncritical? It’s crystal clear that Fauci benefited from big pharma which has also worked hand in glove with governments to suppress legitimate criticism of vaccines and anti-covid measures. If you can’t see that basic reality and the critical importance of the questions raised about what the hell was happening throughout the pandemic, I don’t know how you can expect to be taken seriously. We saw the greatest suppression of our rights in our lifetimes and it lasted two and a half years, resulted in a form of martial law in Canada, and raised important questions about the transparency of our government and healthcare. Your dismissal of any thoughtful critique of what happened by reducing it to Chuds or other Trudeauesque rhetoric demonstrates why we have culture wars.2 points

Sadly, the ABIM today took medical licences away from these 2 frontline doctors who saved literally THOUSANDS of people before the jabs came out by using IVM, HCQ and other drugs. While bureaucrats who hadn't touched a patient in decades denied people antibiotics and even Tylenol. Dr. Pierre Kory and Dr. Paul Marik testified before the US Senate Subcommittee. Dr. Marik was having great success treating patients with high doses of IV vitamin C, as well, and then was forbidden to use it further. Vitamin C, people!!! These were the doctors in the trenches before the jabs came out, trying everything they could find to help people. But you dolts believed career bureaucrats who hadn't touched a patient in decades and who were getting huge kickbacks from Pfizer while denying the normal basic protocols for respiratory viruses, which KILLED THOUSANDS. Wake. The fuque. Up. You absolute bunch of m0r0ns.2 points

Majority of Canadians agree media’s reliance on gov funding impedes impartial reporting | True North (tnc.news) All states the majority of Canadians don't believe that a media outlet can be impartial if it's receiving substantial government funding. I think a lot of people would say that' pretty obvious. At the same time our media is really struggling. It's not like it's just one company, virtually all of our news agencies are barely able to stay afloat. People are just not prepared to pay for news the way that they used to be. And yet an independent media is critical to our democracy. So if government funding isn't the answer, what is? How can our media survive and still be able to report news and information accurately and relatively impartially to Canadians? Tax breaks? Do we need to focus on boosting smaller Indie news? Do we need to restructure the entire industry? What's the correct solution if governments subsidy isn't it?1 point

Well if you’re too stupid to understand things and need them spelled out for you here you go: The line that says “Vought continued, saying, “He’s been at our organization, he’s raised money for our organization, he’s blessed it. … He’s very supportive of what we do.” demonstrates that Trump’s been at their organization, he’s raised money for their organization, he’s blessed it. … He’s very supportive of what they do. The line where JD Vance promotes Project 2025 leader’s book demonstrates that he supports Project 2025 The line where 140 people involved with P2025 have close ties to Trump and served in his last administration demonstrates that Trump has close ties to P2025 The line that says Republicans call Trump’s move to distance himself from Project 2025 ‘preposterous’ demonstrates that Trump’s move to distance himself from Project 2025 is ‘preposterous’ And so on. It’s pretty self-explanatory But honestly if you’re that dumb and need that much explaining then my posts are only going to get longer My point has been explained quite clearly, unfortunately you often have trouble following the plot. So here it is spelled out for you Whether or not Trump officially and formally endorses P2025 or not, a Trump administration will end up enacting many P2025 policies. He clearly has endorsed the 140 people involved in it when they served in his last administration and will likely serve in his next one. The P2025 people are insisting publicly he’s on board and Trump’s disavowal of it has been vague, mild in its criticism, and self-contradictory. Sure he has. Look at his acrobatics on abortion. Since 2016 he’s claimed to be the staunchest anti-abortionist in the country. Then just recently he flip-flopped and said it should be up to individual states and Republicans running for election should stay silent on abortion if it’s going to cost them votes. He understands when ideas are unpopular it doesn’t mean you abandon them, you just don’t publicly endorse them and campaign on them. Trump doesn’t have to come out and publicly back P2025 or campaign on it in order for it to be implemented. He just has to sit back and let it happen once he appoints P2025 people to his cabinet and they start doing the things they’re currently promising to do What a bad analogy and faulty argument. A random assortment of people who happen to have similar private religious beliefs are not comparable to a specific group of Trump associates who have come together to publicly state that they expect to be appointed to the Trump administration and then publish a manifesto on how they will use those appointments to takeover the entire US government. And to state the Trump has privately supported them. BTW, Trump hasn’t disavowed the claim that he will appoint some or all of them to his government even now that their agenda is public. And if Trump hasn’t privately endorsed it like they claim why doesn’t he call them liars? He loves attacking people but he just can’t bring himself to criticize these people or even clarify if he will appoint any of them to his administration That’s a dead giveaway that he’s hiding something As I’ve said repeatedly now, Trump himself doesn’t necessarily have to believe in P2025, he only has to be willing to let the P2025 people carry out their agenda under his administration, at least as a compromise he’s willing to make to guarantee the support of certain conservative groups. Considering one of those agenda items is to completely purge the entire federal public service of independent and non-partisan professionals and replace them with diehard MAGA zealots and Trump loyalists whose pledge of loyalty is to Trump the man rather than the office of POTUS, it’s not likely that a known megalomaniac like Trump would be opposed. What’s bullshit? It’s a FACT that Trump has not called them liars, even though they claim he has privately endorsed them and he claims otherwise. It’s also a fact that Trump has not declared that he won’t appoint any of them to his next administration It’s also a fact that Trump had made contradictory claims, saying he hasn’t read it, but also saying that there are parts of it he likes and parts that he doesn’t like, which isn’t possible unless he’s read it Its also a fact that Trump lied and claimed not to know any of the P2025 people when in fact he knows nearly 150 of them Its also a fact that claiming not to know anything about it isn’t the same as criticizing it or denouncing it, which he hasn’t done Furthermore his claims to STILL not know anything about it even after all the P2025 furor is highly dubious. We know he’s by nature an intellectually incurious man but for him to claim he still hasn’t bothered to look in to something that’s become so controversial for his campaign is dubious He’s talking out of both sides of his mouth again, as he always does, so his followers can believe whatever version of reality suits them at the moment. Everyone who hasn’t drunk the MAGA kool-aid knows Trump’s a habitual liar whose words are absolutely worthless. So no, his vague and contradictory claims do not mean it’s end of story. LOL you just finished admitting that you didn’t know what my point was. Again, nobody is claiming Trump authored P2025 or that it’s his personal wish list. The point is that he clearly has had at least general awareness of it and at the very least is open to allowing it or elements of it to be implemented under his administration. Ample evidence of the above point has been provided. You simply suffer from severe confirmation bias where the only evidence you’ll accept is evidence that confirms your pre-existing beliefs. The only counter argument you’ve presented is citing the words of Trump, one of the most infamous political liars of all time Until Trump condemns P2025 and its authors in specific and unmistakable terms and vows to never rehire any of his 140 acolytes who are involved in it, he remains suspect.1 point

@Zeitgeist a good analogy is 9/11.. a topic which formed my opinions on the public sphere to a large degree. Again, the criticisms were largely tied to nefarious motives rather than a failure of vision prior to the event and tactical errors on the day of. After awhile, I stopped reading criticisms because they were rehashing the same thing again and again.1 point

Prices were up because of COVID, goofus. The disruption to production and supply chains (some of which still persists), the relief money chasing fewer goods, the extreme shock to the oil industry as people stopped driving (and subsequent price spike as people resumed driving), it all goes back to the pandemic. How do you still but understand basic market forces?1 point

Violated a court order, dress it up however you like he is not accused of violating any law against misgendering people. He was not accused of a hate crime. Its not an example of the things you say are happening. You're comparing transphobic people to slaves? That's fascinating. Lets see, both are about a powerless minority being mistreated by bigots. You're not on the side of this comparison that you think you are. Yes, I completely agree this is wrong if literally all they did is state that opinion. Slippery slope fallacy. You and others are choosing to elevate this fringe movement as the object of your constant political attacks. It will ultimately result in these gender identity concepts being more quickly normalized and accepted by society. Its not a cycle like that. As soon as conservatives normalize transgender dialogue, it will just be part of the culture. The cycle is that the same process keeps happening for hundreds of years for different ideas and groups seeking normalization and acceptance.1 point

It depends. If it's a result of a grown up responsible decision of the society, it could be the beginning point of a certain, much needed rethinking and renewal of democratic politics. And should, on the other hand, it choose to try the fairy tale option it should know and remember that it had the choice. So this conversation is important, not to the detriment of other important issues.1 point

You're pretty reasonable about this stuff, but you have to admit that there are a lot of examples of extreme government overreach when it comes to speech, even in Western democracies. In Democrat-controlled New York, for example, a tourist was arrested earlier this year just because he listened to the "wrong" kind of music.1 point

Isn't it? Are you claiming that higher population growth rates don't cause inflation due to the housing shortage? Are you claiming that spending massive amounts of gov't money in the economy doesn't impact inflation? The banks and economists all say it's due to increasing population and gov't spending for the most part. The scotia noted in 2022 that a 3 percent decrease in spending would mean inflation could have been addressed without interest rate hikes. Are all the banks wrong too? THe world annks are saying due to the policies of Canada we will now underperform badly for FOURTY YEARS. Boy - imagine that mike. The banks, the economists, everyone in the whole world other than you and the self admitted alchoholic are wrong. Hmmmm.

You are a liar. Go to any medical professional (family Physician etc.) and they will refute your lame arguments. You have no idea what you are talking about. Nearly half of Canadians who died of COVID, never had a chance to be vaccinated, as they passed away in the first year of the pandemic (Spring 2021 or before). Vaccinations (especially people with more than one vaccination), reduced their chances of dying from COVID dramatically. Of course, any person who consults their family physician, medical professional, or simply calls health links could find that out today, rather than a delusional nutcase that gets all his answers from YouTube videos.1 point

I agree 100%, You would expect them to at least question. There are numerous times in history when conservatives have held there political parties to account and demanded answers to questions even though it wasn't politically a smart thing to do. In fact, on a provincial level even the NDP voters have done that to some degree historically. But these days those on the left have become so infected and infatuated by tribalism that they simply cannot intellectually condone any knowledge or information that leads to questioning their echo chamber and approved talking points As a group, they are obsessed with starting with a conclusion and trying desperately to work their way back to the facts. Instead of starting with the facts and working towards a conclusion. That rarely results in good thinking.1 point

Ah glad you finally acknowledge it doesn't. And yes it was written to make the policy inclusive for transgender students and flexible for leaving it up to schools how they want to do it.

Oh FFS the retreads are still at it. Here's what I will happily "admit' to. -I got 3 shots and never caught Covid. - No one I know who was vaxxed died from Covid or got sick from the vax - Everyone I know who was vaxxed and did get Covid barely got sick, it was like or less than a normal case of the flu - ALL the people who did die in this town were not or refused to get vaxxed _ the three people I know who "only" spent weeks in the ICU with tubes shoved down their throats remain as butt stubborn as you two and insist the vax didn't work anyway, the Doctors were all lying and they had something else more serious and remained off work for years because their Boss wouldn't let them back unvaxxed, not Trudeau. And all three are members of this stupid Evangelical Church that panders to SovCits, homophobes and bigots that hate Catholics and won't shop at the one grocery store as it's on the rez. The Mennonites in their 18th century clothes are more sane and open minded. -Canada with its high vaccination rate had 1/3 the deaths per capita as the USA which didn't. So scour the dregs of the Internet all the 'proof' you want, you'll never convince the normal sane people the Conv1diots were heroes and you're not merely butt stubborn malcontents.1 point

Actually, the vast majority of Canadians are going for Harris, or at least they want anyone but Trump to win.

I'm taking about all the Asians coming in here. They only know one thing- the iron fist. It's sad, really. The only way they listen, is if we use our size, and get in their faces. Otherwise they would push us all around. F**k Trudeau for not sticking with the time tested "allow 1% of the current population- 400,000 to come in, and continue to prosper. Instead he allows 4x that much, and we don;t have the infrastructure to support them. They also will literally work anywhere for under $20, so they drive wages down.

LMAOOOOOO Right that's why he was constantly referring to "the Jewish race" According to Hitler, Marxism was a Jewish strategy to subjugate Germany. Alfred Rosenberg, the considered one of the main authors of key Nazi ideology, said Bolshevism was "the revolt of the Jewish, Slavic and Mongolian races against the German (Aryan) element in Russia". That's racism you retarded baboon. No you dipshit, in the Nazi worldview Jews and Aryan were completely separate categories. You couldn't be a Jewish Aryan. They systematically murdered like 8 million people because of their racial beliefs you jizzrag. Its amazing you can be this wrong about something as extensively documented and as central as Hitler and the Nazis' views on race lol, no hope for you.1 point
