it's not a question of forgiveness per se the problem in Canada is that the political elites are never held responsible for anything for example the Somalia Affair where the government illegally administered a drug to the Airborne Regiment which incited the unit to suffer from psychosis en masse, resulting in catastrophe the government then launched an "inquiry" which was simply used as a mechanism to cover up the crimes and protect senior officials from a reckoning when I was young and naive. I honestly trusted the government I trusted that public officials were trying to do the right thing but after Somalia, I could never trust the government again so I can certainly forgive anybody who asserts that Canada is not to be trusted when it comes to enforced medical procedures

He's a drunk criminal with no honour who lied about his achievements and has lost the respect of his peers again and again. Yeah - looking at you i can see it.

And they've been sued for it. More than once. they and NBC have deliberately altered footage and presented "facts" they know to be untrue in order to create stories. Not just 'got a story wrong' or the like. Or came to a different conclusion over the evidence. But actually made up a story AND CREATED SUPPORTING "EVIDENCE". We saw it with the christian school kids and with treyvon etc etc.

I think he is trans-political. He identifies as a conservative.

Oh look. The self-proclaimed "Conservative" is siding with the Libbies...again. Mike...come out of the closet.

As per usual. There is almost zero political value to publicly discussing or debating actual economics. Might as well be Greek to most voters. Nobody wants to end up like poor Ross Perot with his charts. So we'll get a lot of campaign nonsense--a lot of it cynical nonsense for 100 more days and then economic advisors will try to quietly move actual levers with things like CHIPS and the poorly named (but long term great) Inflation Reduction Act.

You guys can't decide whether the virus is dangerous or innocuous. I guess it depends which meme you saw last.

Yeah, in some places it is. I pay about $1300 a month to insure a family of 4 on a high deductible plan with another $500 a month into a pre-tax health savings account that can be used to cover any out -of-pocket costs. And same situation for wait times. General care is really available, but if you need a specialist or non-urgent surgery you're looking at wait times in months. It's a broken system. Insurance companies as nothing to the quality of health care but take tens of billions in profits (more?) out of the system.

100% the drug had failed the human trials because it was shown to induce psychosis in the form of hyper paranoia and hyper aggression but someone at DND made a deal with the French pharmaceutical company Roche, the manufacturer to use the Airborne Regiment as lab rats in a totally illegal by Canadian law unsupervised secret drug trial then the Airborne Regiment chain of command went crazy ordering the troops to commit war crimes to include direct orders to torture prisoners orders which the troops obeyed, in their psychotic drugged up state

no I took all the Yugoslavia vaccines for Op Harmony and Mefloquine wasn't one of them Mefloquine is a pill, comes in a four pack like Viagra, so you would know if you were taking it it's not a one shot, you have to keep taking the pills, once a week but it's an anti Malaria drug, so it's only proscribed for tropical environments troops in the Airborne Regiment knew they were taking some experimental malaria drug and they knew it was making everybody go crazy but there was nothing they could do about it, since this was being ordered from on high if you refused to take the pill ? then you'd be kicked off the tour, sent home to Canada in disgrace and Paratroopers just ain't going to do that, they are not abandoning the mission, come what may

well take for example Clayton Matchee I didn't know him well, but I knew he wasn't a homicidal lunatic he was a typical regular force married guy everybody in the infantry is eccentric and everybody is aggressive but the guy was an Airborne Regiment Master Corporal, which requires you to seriously have your shit together and his wife, Marj, says Matchee was having psychotic hallucinations in Canada, in Petawawa, back on leave so he, along with many other troops in the Regiment, were being driven psychotic on the ground in Somalia it's like 2 Commando was forced to take its Mefloquine on Tuesdays and the troops were so messed up on this stuff, they started calling it "Psycho Tuesdays" they were having nightmares, hallucinations, the drug can cause hyper paranoia & hyper aggression hence why it wasn't approved for use on humans, at the time when the Airborne was being dosed with it, unlawfully

A plausible case can be made for policies playing a role in stabilizing things so far. But the reality is complicated and global and no one really knows why the whole thing hasn't tanked. Economists will certainly be analyzing and theorizing about this for the next century. Maybe we're in our own oblivious roaring 20s while lower down financing strains are building. I agree, and the doom and gloom rhetoric on the right is transparently self-serving. This is a great point. I lost a lot of value in my own savings but my home price has nearly doubled (no mortgage). Of course if i ever sell this place I'll probably then get taxed for all the inflation-based increase in value. For that matter a lot of the inflation is probably psychological. Econ 101: a shift in the demand curve can be caused by the mere expectation of future price increases. And if your customers are primed to a widespread spike in prices the suppliers take advantage of that.

FOX News created a fake story. That is why they had to pay out nearly one billion to Dominion. If the story had been legit, and it failed to get updated, the case would have never made it to court. lol....I know who not to take legal advice from... Actually, CNN has never had to settle for hundreds of millions due to fabricating stories, like FOX News did. Who are you trying to fool anyway?

Well you're a bit of a better person than many we see here or publically on the dem side who insist that all republicans and conservatives are monsters who want to see people (especially children) die violently. As just expressed by one of our resident nutbars. ANy discussion has to start off with the premise that neither dems nor republicans want people to suffer. That's a given. If either side could wave a magic wand and everyone had good health all the time both sides would waive it with equal vigour. The question is how best to get there. And it's complex SUre - you pay about 1500 a month and get healthcare coverage. In canada we mostly pay a small amount on top of our employer and the rest is covered by the gov't. I mean like maybe 50 bucks a month But. the average us family pays about 18,000 dollars in taxes in a year - all levels. Canada - who has almost the same average income incidentally but in canadian dollars, pays about 28,500 in taxes. AND we have worse wait times, etc etc. It's not all that cut and dry. And the us system produces more in the way of medical advances etc. It's a long discussion

And in a follow up, Joe Biden arrives at the convention to speak to delegates.

So clearly you don't understand the difference between a legit story not getting updated promptly, and just creating a fake story to tell people. That's why you don't understand how low CNN's credibility rating is. For an example, if CNN hears about Jussie's lynching story and then reports on it, that's normal. Fox too. CNN and Fox might start reporting it as a hoax on different timelines, whatever, and it would be news fake for CNN to pretend that its still kinda likely when they know it's not, or to pretend that maybe Jussie felt like it was real when they knew he was a faker, but that's nothing compared to the level of deception if we found out that CNN was part of the scam from the very start. Get it? It's "fabrication" vs "timeline for updating an ongoing story". CNN fabricates. That's why they're considered the biggest liars on TV. Fabricating is the most extreme form of lying. It involves intent from even before the lie is told. It's not the same as omitting or exaggerating, which is still bad.

Sunny ways.

Some crazy stuff happened all right. FOX News lied about Dominion Voting Systems, a Canadian company, and spread lies about the company. Dominion sued FOX for $1.6 billion, and a judge ruled the case could proceed. Hours before the case was going to court, FOX settled with Dominion, giving the company $767 million to drop the suit, essentially admitting that they had lied about Dominion (innocent parties don't settle for US record amounts). Now Smartmatic, another voting system, is suing FOX News, and it is still in litigation. Tucker Carlson was fired from FOX as a result, and now has been exiled to Twitter. The moral of the story is, that FOX News lies, and cannot be trusted. Notice how we never hear about negative stories about Dominion Voting systems in the news? That is because they were false, and no company wants to be sued into oblivion.

Good idea. You should talk to a professional about your alternate realities.

the battlefields are in play. The aggregates don't agree with the OP's somewhat bias poll But they do all agree that the candidates are within the margin of error of each other with nobody having a clear advantage. The problem for Kammy is that this is probably as good as it gets. She's had almost an entire month of not having to answer one single media question (other than once when they asked her when she'd answer media questions) and the media has been rooting for her as hard as possible moving forward she'll have the debates, trump will start to advertize hard, she'll have to start to answer some questions most likely and she sucks at it (and not in a good way like her former boss benefitted from ). She needs the convention to be a major success akin to a halftime show at the superbowl, and she needs desperately to do fairly well in the debates. If she can get enough height above trump she can afford to play a 'basement' game in the second half and coast to victory which was biden's tactic last time (or ford's tactic on the ontario election etc) and that can really be a winning strategy. But if she can't get that big bump early on then it's going to be very hard for her.

Yeah plus the tuned-out rejects who after this many years still have no opinion about f*cking Donald trump aren't going to now finally be won over to either side by detailed economic policy.

If I had to choose between FOX and CNN, I would take my news from CNN every single time. At least they were not almost sued to oblivion, for airing false claims in regards to election interference.

Canada has been in short supply of Doctors, Nurses, lab techs, etc years before COVID. In addition, very few people with a degree in any type of medical field that explains viruses (doctors, nurses, etc) were fired. My guess is less than 50. Just because you are of the opinion that casual workers in health care (janitors, food service workers, etc) are "medical professionals", does not make it so. The vast majority of workers terminated had little to no medical knowledge.

Once again, you lie. Janitors, security guards, and kitchen staff are NOT medical professionals. They are support staff at hospitals. There are 3 certainties in life- death, taxes, and CdnFox lying.

2500 medical professionals were not fired in BC for refusing the get the vaccine. Period. My guess is you used this article to come to that conclusion. The majority — approximately two-thirds — of those fired in four of the five regional health authorities were casual workers, not permanent full- or part-time workers, the numbers show. What you fail to comprehend, is nearly all of those workers were NOT medical professionals. They worked in health care, but almost all were manual labourers- security guards, dishwashers, janitors, etc. not medical professionals. Once again, you left this out, only for me to have to look deeper into it, and find out you lied.

still waiting for a link, or any type of source to validate your claim.....

ROFLMAO - ok there robosmith Kid everyone knows i'm right. This has been thoroughly covered many times. I tell you what - if i can provide a link what will you do for me? Will you publicaly start a thread that says "I'm sorry, cdnfox is right and i'm yet again wrong because i can't understand how google works" ? Oh - and good news, i WAS incorrect - the final number was 2500. So - what are you putting on the table? I mean you apperently KNOW i can't possibly post anything so you should be willing to bet just about anything right?

Posted a billion times already, look it up youself sealion. it's common knowledge and easy to find

Canada was never fascist, in it's 158 year history,

We need to ask why more people are dying now in spite of mass vaxxing, AND when the variants have weakened considerably. The answer is in all the medical papers I've linked here.

Well that was what I said too. I do more than asking question though.

wiki IOW, extreme right wing bias.

Oof! In fairness to my insurance overlords, birthing expenses on my plan are their own sepatate category and i did not have to do the massive $5k deductible. I probably paid a couple hundred in misc expenses and the quality of the services we received were top notch. To be clear, i pay $1500 per month directly out of my paycheck. Insurance companies sell group negotiated discount deals to employers and the government makes it so you can pay for your insurance on a pre-tax basis. Each region of the US have different insurance companies that dominate and have their own negotiated pricing agreements with healthcare provders in that region. So via my insurance im allowed to use doctors within a certain network, but not some competing. It's basically like high tech feudalism. 😄

You have just proven that you intellectually disabled. Congratulations! Wow.

He quit on principles. So he was conservative.

LOL so Paul Ryan is a Pelosi stooge now. The twisted mind of a right wing extremist, on full display

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.

Jeez he retired instead of deserted. What a sane choice.

Paul Ryan is a backstabbing little sh1t Mike. A Pelosi stooge.

And also that Fauci knew that the virus in the lab was transmissible H2H because research that he funded MADE IT TRANSMISSIBLE H2H. So: Fauci knew there was a good chance that the covid virus was from the BSL4 lab Fauci knew the covid virus from the BSL4 lab was transmissible H2H Fauci told the whole f'ing planet: "We don't think the virus is transmissible H2H Is that not 100.0% accurate? Which one of those things is less than 100% accurate? He did fund it. He knew they made it transmissible. He had to know there was a chance it was his virus that was out there. Then he decided to err on the side of caution pandemic. Can you tell me what I'm missing there? Or what's inaccurate? Just honestly. Between adults. If you make a salient point, I will acknowledge it for the full value of what it is worth.

This question is the first thing that popped into my head, and now I can't stop thinking about possible names.

We all know what vaccines are DUI. They confer priceless protection against virulent pathogens with high mortality rates. Diseases like smallpox, TB and polio were a death sentence 120 years ago, now no one in Canada fears them. No one on this site has ever questioned the effectiveness, safety, or necessity any of those vaccines. If there was a Royal Family of Medicines, vaccines would be in it, along with penicillin. But calling the covid jab a vaccine is like calling Napoleon Dynamite an emperor.

Interesting. Now go back to your bible, and pray God saves you from Stage II Cancer. Who needs medicine when you ahve the power of prayer! User is "special."

Oh look - Robo understood him! He speaks gibberish pretty fluent, maybe he can translate for him?
