Except you didn't use that term, did you dipshit? You called a woman with a middle class background who went to Princeton and Harvard "a ho from the streets". Typical racist right wing goon.

Calling someone else low class while being super racist? You're a huge loser.

This is comical. And watching all the Libbies scramble to deny or excuse this is even more comical. Poor Kamala...she still has to buy friends.

Girl traded sex for money and advancement. She a ho.

Gee look who woke up grumpy. Guess bein' woke ain't so great.

Dual outboards. Older 2 stroke Mercury 150 and 200hp outboard engines to 4 stroke 220/250's. Diesel boats have all been upgraded as well. The whole marine industry has cleaned up its act in addition to being decimated of course. Water quality hereabouts has improved with less commercial economic activity and there's way more eelgrass growing around here now. So much I'm having to empty out my sea strainers a couple of times a day. I like to think it helped that I also spearheaded the effort to have two marine sewage pump out stations installed in local harbours.

Why does her skin color matter?

Now you're imagining things. Boy oh boy someone call the MAID people there's an urgent case of terminal retardation in Langley BC.

You wouldn't have much of a choice. Families like mine who pay for health insurance give more to that one company in a year than they do to the federal, state, local government in taxes. Lol then why tf are you repeatedly writing lengthy commentary in response to statements about what I spend? You started off strong in this thread. But after the quality of someone's replies drops to insults and pointless pissing contest banter I stop reading most of what they write, so I never saw a question, nor am I interested at this point in any bad faith questions you have. You're no longer actually engaging in discussion.

That's a fair description of your entire retarded output here. No I'm fit and in good health, again, you're projecting your own inadequacies onto others you old fat f*ck.

but that's how it has always been think of the Civil War a catastrophic war which resulted in the deaths of the equivalent of 7.5 million Americans now yet at the end of the Civil War in 1865, America had already ascended to surpass the British Empire as the Global Hegemon "war is the force that gives us meaning" ~ Christopher Hedges

HM Canadian Army of the 1980's was actually optimal in terms of this onset of Cold War Two 1st Canadian Division ( Mechanized ) consisting of four Mechanized Brigade Groups one Mechanized Brigade Group forward deployed to Europe with the Special Service Force at Petawawa as the Parachute/Light/Motorized Defence of Canada/Mobile Striking Force ain't broke, don't fix it

The Democrats pulled their first string QB in the first quarter after giving up an opening kickoff touchdown, fumbling the snap and throwing a pick six (Hunter Biden conviction, poor debate performance, assassination attempt). Their second string QB managed to get them on the board (DEI qualities like genitalia and skin tone) but the defense has figured them out. She's now fumbled again (the RFK screw over) and the bench (the Democrat party) is imploding on the sidelines. That's why.

LOL!!

Racial slurs is Black Dog's favorite.

It’s certainly not a “new low”, but is yet another example of how dishonest and desperate the Trump campaign is that they use AI to fake support of popular celebrities, thinking it will get them votes from the celebrity’s fans.

And you're a vile, racist piece of shit.

He trails Harris in every swing state except Nevada and Georgia where he leads by less than 1%.

no it's not go to RealClear right now and you will see that it is neck & neck, within the margin of error in all the battleground states

Another racist, misogynistic take from our resident incel loser.

This is a good summation of the issue. America = better services and choice and more control, higher prices and some people have less access Canada = worse services and choice and no control. If you want to have better service and are willing to pay for it, too bad. but what access there is is spread SOMEWHAT more evenly (still access to medication issues for some) @BeaverFever is quite wrong in his claims that only the very rich get healthcare in the us. As i demonstrated 92 percent have coverage and most have pretty decent coverage. So it boils down to a choice. Both systems have their pro's and con's.

It's no different in the usa, either. The state and economic powers decide what acceptable opinions are. We are only allowed to argue about taxes orabortion or irrelevant crap like that. If a person says that white Americans have a right to control their own destiny...which ought to be a perfectly normal political position...then they certainly will be excommunicated from the economy and are likely to be thrown in prison

What’s wrong with George Bush?

The big point is that Republicans eat their young. They claim to be conservative but they are ashamed of their own past.

LOL, you can't argue the facts here.

LOL, this is comical. So, your big point here is that Democrats care so little about their own principles, they will sacrifice it all for the power of the party. I guess if that is what you are proud of.

I'm not worried. Dog level is easy to recover from...when one has raised a few pups like you.

The GOP right now:

Funny yes. Unexpected no. The Libbies have mastered the game of slurs. Between Kamala and Walz, the Dumbocrats have handed Trump and Vance a gift. Now they need to pounce on it relentlessly.

Funny how all the regulars on here that complain daily about how awful Trumps lies are don't care one bit about how awful the lies are from the left...

Neither is the Gazan electorate. 3/4 of Gaza's population wasn't even born when HAMAS was elected. Anyone who hides behind this notion that HAMAS has the democratic support of the people is a terrorist supporter using an appeal to an authority that doesn't exist.

That was Trump withdrawing all but 2500 US Troops in a surrender negotiated without the ANG involvement which was supposed to pick up the slack. Needless to say it didn't work cause the ANA surrendered and/or fled.

Yes, Hamas does all of that. They are terrorists. They are bad. Terrorists frequently take hostage based on the assumption that unlike the bad guys, "the good guys" value innocent human life enough to avoid killing the hostages. I guess Israel really showed them.

Ok you’re proving yet again you have no idea what you’re talking about and are just making shit up again. Regarding the problem of Americans without adequate healthcare coverage who can’t get the care they need or go they count and they’re part id the problem You can’t just arbitrarily declare that somehow they don’t count in this discussion because it’s inconvenient to your uninformed opinion Ok so now the goalposts are moved again, now to discuss all taxes not just healthcare costs. While there are high tax jurisdictions in the USA and some very low ones, I don’t think anyone would disagree with a general statement that the tax burden in the US is generally lower than in Canada. But that’s going to vary depending on the amount and type of income, jurisdiction and so on. I’ve seen older studies suggesting Canadians in general pay 5% more tax. Chat GPT thinks its “5% to 10%” more including EI, CPP, etc. Now that’s before you factor in US health insurance premiums Now note that Canadian health insurance is included in this figure but US Health insurance isn’t. Chat gpt says that on average, Americans spend 7% to 10% of their annual income on health insurance premiums which roughly puts them on par or even slightly worse off than Canadians. Plus since you’ve expanded the topic beyond health care while we pay more taxes we also get more and better public services with fewer if any out of pocket costs: from transit to education to safe drinking water to air traffic control to maternity/parental leave benefits to just being able to access services through a service Canada or Service Ontario website or office..meanwhile USA is still very analog and fragmented and any public service funded is shitty by design. And we have better social outcomes as result with less crime and poverty social ills, etc. Unless you’re on a FN Reserve anyway Americans pay A LOT MORE. Not a little more. At every stage. Twice as much or more just to have coverage, 2-3 times more on average for drugs or for care when they receive it. Famously US has allowed price gouging US drug companies to jack the price of insulin, a drug they didn’t invent or develop, to US to $300-$400 or more while in Canada it is still only $30. That’s a 10x price increase and it’s not the only one. US did the same with epipen and then there’s the shit that Martin Shkrelli dirtbag pulled when he bought up a live-saving HIV drug and increased the price by 5,000% (BTW, all that price gouging was defended and protected by Republicans in the name of “free market”). All this to say Americans pay a HELL of a lot more. Not “a little more” *sigh* you really can’t follow along can you? Let’s try this again: Go through these ine at a time ok ? Have someone read it to you if it’s easier 1) Unless they’re very rich, Americans will have to buy Health Insurance 2) Americans who buy Health Insurance pay more for coverage than Canadians pay in healthcare taxes and private supplementary coverage 3) Americans who have Health Insurance still less coverage than Canadians, many have such poor coverage they still can’t afford access the healthcare they need or go bankrupt as a result 4) Americans who pay for drugs and healthcare services pay more for the same service than Canadians No you’re confusing paying for health insurance with paying for healthcare. See above. LMAO you don’t get it at and you’re so twisted and turned around you have confused yourself and true to form you’re lashing out. One more time: Only rich people can afford health CARE. Everyone else INCLUDING YOU has to buy Health INSURANCE because paying directly for care is unaffordable. Canadians buy their health insurance through a public single payer system which costs you significantly less than Americans’ private system In our system, someone else will get treated before you if they are sicker than you, not because they’re richer than you and can pay for a VIP line.

Because they're in front of the baddies. And 15,000 children haven't been killed in gaza or anywhere close to that. So you're ok with them continuing till they hit that number right? 🙄 And they have to kill the baddies because if they don't the baddies will come kill THEIR children again, and why would they allow that?

You are completely FOS--both in terms of your "analogy" and in terms of your history.

Hey little man! Should your Prime Minister invoke the 'Emergencies Act' . . . ?

34 times by a jury of his peers and you don't buy it. Well you certainly have many people as stupidly shameless to use the same bullshit excuse. Criminal rapist fraud beyond weird old fart. Yeah those make great political and leadership qualifications. If you're Russian or N Korean.

Some people simply cannot comprehend the difference between collateral damage and the deliberate targeting of civilians. Some people refuse to accept the fact that Hamas hides among civilians, in hospitals, schools, mosques.

That really is complete fiction. You've simply made it up whole cloth. Conflating the bad actions of the Israeli government with the Jewish people is as misplaced as conflating the bad actions of Hamas with the Palestinian people. Most people are people, just trying to get along and live their lives.

Not judging by the collapse of fisheries on both coasts. Like canaries in a coal mine these pointed to a lack of sustainability that we started exceeding decades ago. It's funny how Newfoundland is cited above as having been sustainable for centuries. Take water resources in southwestern US as another example, where some 40 million people have drawn water resources down, including aquifers that took thousands of years to fill, in just a couple of generations. 400 million more people in North America? Good luck.

Didn't Ukraine just get given F-16s? I agree that the US needs to allow Ukraine to use their weapons in Russia. I suspect they already are.

Why do you think right-wingers are so stupid, you can tell them anything and they'll believe it?

Te utter desperation of quoting Fox as a source to people with working brains. You have already convinced yourselves to vote for a criminal, there is no one to convert. That is the only relevant election issue. Do you want a criminal for President or don't you?

Blackmailing the economy is an interesting negotiation tactic. The gov freaked out and enacted the Emergencies Act when truckers blocked a lane at a border crossing but they're not nearly as concerned when unions do this or indigenous protestors block the railway lines. Universal human rights means treating everyone the same. The left/progressives don't believe in this anymore.
