I can't believe CNN actually aired this. That old saying stands true. Republicans think democrats are people with bad ideas. Democrats think Republicans are bad people with ideas.

Oh well, PP will be in soon and everything will be right as rain in no time.

The average person in China does not have a better standard of living than in Canada. Your figures are probably not correct either.

When the courts and the Senate Intelligence Committee say Trump's campaign manager colluded with Russia, I believe it. Why don't you? You only like to believe what you want because you don't have the balls to face reality? https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/08/19/yes-there-was-collusion/

Alicia Planincic: The immigrants most valuable to the Canadian economy are now the most likely to leave - The Hub As the title says. Not all the people we allow in are valuable, and the most valuable are the ones that are going. We've now become like a dirty oil filter for other countries, with the least desirable staying here.

Well the truth of the matter is, people will flock to countries where their quality of life will improve for them and their children. If China or India was like this, we would inevitably see millions of Africans, Ukrainians, and people from other parts of Asia and Eastern Europe waiting to immigrate there. However, the population of these places remains homogenous. Since I can remember (since WW2), people Worldwide have always wanted to migrate to North America and Europe, since we have relatively stable democratic principles, and in most cases, are not engaged in conflict.

How would you know what I am? My political discussions have centered mostly on how I find far right men to be impotent, gutless cowards Russian patriots say that. Patriots in the West don't.

I believe that Trump colluded with Russia because we heard him tell Russia on live TV they would be “well rewarded” if they released Hillary Clinton’s emails. And then we saw him inexplicably develop a very pro-Russia/anti-NATO foreign policy, going so far as to tell Russia that they’re welcome to invade NATO members who don’t, in Trump’s twisted opinion, pay their bills. On top of that, a bunch of his top advisors were caught colluding with Russia and it didn’t phase Trump one bit.

And far right extremists think CNN is the left.

Didn't see the NDP fighting terribly hard for it either. I think the real problem is that people are concerned that you would get minority parliaments with folks like you who can't make reasonable arguments and instead are driven by hatred and anger an oversized voice that they really didn't deserve

I don't care about your "Leftards" (or Maggots either, for that matter) the fact is most people aren't as extreme and unbalanced as those two groups. Therefore, if you actually wanted to make a positive change, you're not going to be able to reach the rational majority.with the silly primary school vitriol you use. I would suggest you don't really care about your claims to "morality" but just want to score meaningless, imagined points on some joke of a forum, because no one in the real world will even engage with your nonsense Again you obviously don't want to be taken seriously

I'm convinced that you're plenty dumb. All you do is make this broad generalizations, claiming that the very f-cked up economy of Trump was fantastic and that the incredible economic rebound we've sustained is horrible. Every economic indicator today is better than it was when Trump left office. We couldn't get fricking toilet paper when Trump was President. That's not a great economy. Hospitals couldn't get face masks for their doctors and nurses when Trump was President. That's not leadership.

Trump supporters think that he will be better for America’s economy… but there’s no reason to believe it. Donald Trump is a confidence man… a con man. He speaks with tremendous confidence about his grandiose plans for making our economy great, but what are the facts? The first facts are that his plans are terrible. His published plans consist of 60% tariffs on all Chinese goods and 10-20% tariffs on all other imprinted goods. So right off the bat, nearly all the goods people buy at Target, Wal-Mart and Amazon go up 20-60%. As do many components of American-made products. There’s nothing strategic in this policy; he isn’t evaluating individual industries and supporting them to success, he’s simply starting an inflationary trade war which will also result in our trading partners implementing retaliatory tariffs on our goods. Second part of his “plan” is to cut taxes for the ultra-rich. So there’s the con: The poor and middle class pay more tax, in the form of tariffs, and the rich get their taxes slashed. And none of this improves our economy. And the con comes from a conman: The convicted conman, who paid out $25 million for defrauding students of his Trump “University,” who lost $489 million in another fraud verdict, and who was convicted of 34 felonies in a third fraud case. THERE’S A PATTERN HERE. This conman inherited $400 million from daddy, and then claimed he built his empire from a mere $1 million. And even that initial $1 million was backed up with $200 million in loan guarantees secured by his daddy. And Trump is wealthy, but is he really a billionaire? I mean… he lives in an apartment on his golf club. That’s like living in a shopping mall. Do real billionaires do that? He has a jet, but it’s a really old plane. It’s impractical to operate, so he finances its operation through campaign donations. WOULD A REAL BILLIONAIRE NEED TO DO THAT? This “billionaire” hawks bibles, trading cards, steaks… he’d sell his wife’s used underwear if he could make a buck. And now, he’s gone IPO with a company that is clearly headed straight for bankruptcy, with less than $100 million in cash and staggering cash losses of up to $300 million in a single quarter against quarterly revenues of less than a million dollars. As a result, his stock price has cratered in six months from $71 down to $12. And from $12, this company is spiraling straight into bankruptcy. These aren’t the workings of a business genius, they’re the workings of a conman and a fraud. And if he wins the Presidency, the U.S. Government will be next in his long string of economic failures. He handed our economy off to Biden in dismal condition, and he’ll put America in even worse condition if he’s elected. Do not vote for this conman.

Trump claims BC is a very large faucet. BC has been experiencing its own drought. Donnie, how about keeping the Nooksack waters from flowing across the border and flooding the Fraser Valley.

It says a lot that the biggest sponsor of terrorism wants to keep Kamala Harris in the White House.

desperation on display.

Deflect, dodge, duck and weave, but whatever you do, don't answer basic questions. And be sure not to trip over that tucked tail. Do you dispute that Manafort was Trump's campaign manager? Do you dispute that regularly had clandestine meetings and communications with Kilimnik? Do you dispute that at those meetings he gave Kilimnik "sensitive" internal polling and strategy from the Trump campaign? Do you dispute that Kilimnik in turn relayed that information to Russian intelligence services? Do you dispute that Russian intelligence services was running an active election interference and disinformation campaign against US voters with the express aim of helping Trump win?

Of course. Do you know everything is trumps fault. Jesus crucifixion, the fall of the roman empire, WI WWII, korean war, Viet nam, he killed Kennedy, 9/11, climate change and worse of all!!!!! The j6 trespassing incident. Just to name a few

I gave you two news articles from lwnj news organizations that say the reports conclude there was no collusion. Just because you want to inflate some coincidences to intent doesn't mean there was actual intent or collusion.

Funny, you talk about these three major reports (2 or which I have cited) but you never cite their conclusions. Why is that?

I know we're now on page 2 of this thread (and that's a long time to remember) but you know the Mueller report was just the first of at lest 3 relevant reports, right? I'm trying to figure out how any remotely rational person still disputes the fact of collusion. Do you dispute that Manafort was Trump's campaign manager? Do you dispute that regularly had clandestine meetings and communications with Kilimnik? Do you dispute that at those meetings he gave Kilimnik "sensitive" internal polling and strategy from the Trump campaign? Do you dispute that Kilimnik in turn relayed that information to Russian intelligence services? Do you dispute that Russian intelligence services was running an active election interference and disinformation campaign against US voters with the express aim of helping Trump win? Those are all facts of historical record at this point. Do you have secret information that indicates that any of them are incorrect? If not, then you must acknowledge collusion.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-65602909 https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/mueller-report-conclusions-trump-congress-attorney-general-william-barr-n986611 You are repeating lies that even lwnj news outlets admit isn't true.

There's no Harris watch because she can't tell time. What do you suppose a Harris watch would be worth? It would be just like her, all show no substance.

You forgot the meow.

It's very relevant. It's based on the premise that Democrats believe they are defenders of democracy. Is that a false premise? Don't be a coward now soy boy. This from a supporter of the cackling Kamal and a tampon

Force what? As you go on to answer yourself... Typical liberal idiocy. First you obfuscate and change the subject to force and act like it doesn't happen... I show you it does and now your response is tough shit. There is nothing bigoted in the truth and reality. And if you want to do the decent thing in a civilized society, I identify as a cat in this discussion and I expect you to go meow to acknowledge my preferred identity.

CNN probably LOVES the fact that Biden supporters fear and loathe Republicans. Wasn't that the point of all Biden's messaging?

Everyone should rewatch it and focus on the couple that asked the question. Notice how they go from being proud to set her up with a softball question to the realization that she won't answer the question. Their smiles slowly fade away.

Ah so you're suggesting dictatorship works better.

You're saying socialism works better than you've been led to believe?

The cult is deliberately avoiding any meaningful conversation about responsibility, acceptance and commitment to democratic principles and values. These are replaces by extreme hostility, blatant lies, manipulation, and hot air rhetoric. We have seen this before. We should know what it means and where it's coming from. These are not innocent funny fancies. Good that we knew.

Donald is a traitor and an attempted usurper. He hatched and implemented a plan to install fake electors in multiple states in an attempt at staying in power through fraud. If his vice president would of broken his oath of office, and certified those fake electors, donald would of retained power illegally and disenfranchised millions of voters. Donalds a dirty piece of shit traitor that should never be allowed to hold office again.

LOL Translation - you lost an argument with me in another thread and now you're completely butthurt and chasing after me like an enraged Chihuahua

It's not intelligent but it is evil. That poster believes the solution to not being able to support all the babies that can be born from having sex is to kill them. When youre evil that sounds like an intelligent solution.

Ex-NYC COVID czar Jay Varma fired from job after sex-party scandal (nypost.com) “Varma boasted about harassing people into submission over the vaccine mandate and admitted to participating in illegal sex parties, all while he, former Health Commissioner Dr. David Chokshi, and then-Mayor Bill de Blasio imposed draconian measures that shut down the entire city,” the Queens Democrat said. “The hypocrisy is outrageous.” Varma’s seamy chats — which included him boasting, “I did all this deviant, like sexual stuff,” and, “I had to be kind of sneaky about it … because I was running the entire COVID response in the city” — were made public last week by conservative podcaster Steven Crowder. His firing came as enraged city business owners and parents joined lawmakers on the steps of City Hall on Monday to rally against the randy doctor, saying that while they were masking up, keeping their kids home from school and taking other precautionary measures against deadly COVID — under his instruction — he was getting up close and personal with throngs of people. “While grandmothers took their last breaths alone on cold hospital beds, Dr. Varma was fulfilling his sick fantasies with hundreds of sweaty strangers,” city Councilwoman Inna Vernikov (R-Brooklyn) raged. "They never, ever, ever told us it was 100% effective." Uh-huh 🙄

This may not be what some want to hear or even think about these days, but at this time, de facto the cult has already detached itself from democracy. It does not see itself a part of it. It suspects and despises it. And in the large picture, it can do without it. It thinks. At this time, it is a-democratic, ambivalent and detached from democracy. But if it sees a threat or a benefit, it can become anti-democratic quite easily and fast too. This path is wide open now. See, think for yourself, disagree if you will but complacency, playing with these things pretending that they are some funny fancies can be very risky. History tells us that in no uncertain terms.

They've pumped the chumps. Let the dump begin! Trump Media co-founder and former ‘Apprentice’ contestant dumps about $100 million worth of stock Yes, anybody who trusts Trump with their investment deserves what they get. (This was never a remotely plausible business.) But it's also a real shame that Mom and Pop investors are going to get hurt because they fell for a classic con from a known con man.

She's American. She May not be aware of the circumstances in Canada we're such things are enforced a lot more

He's a populist pseudo-consrvative. Pandering to every malcontent who'll pad his chances

No the real reason is that so many people believe shit like that they'd hinder any process. PP would be screaming such an accusation at the top of his lungs. Just as he, a career politician at the top pension is blasting out ads that the only reason Singh won't support his obstructionist power seeking is so he can pad his. All we're ever going to see is oceans of lies and misinformation on electoral reform the average Joe will have to wade through.

LOL oh look another leftie who starts to spout their own sexual fantasies as soon as they start to lose an argument LOLOL Me think's someone's having a tough time finding a Zirfriend in the real world and is starting to let her wishes run away with her

Trump managed the pandemic from March 2020 until January, 2021. That's only ten months. Biden managed it from February, 2021 until January 2025. That's four full years. So you're giving Trump a cookie because he only dealt with the pandemic for ten months? And, for every single day of those four years, I've been able to buy all the toilet paper and spaghetti sauce I want.

CTV is "the left." You guys are hilarious. In your own little world where you're always being victimized. 😂

Oh? Please cite just one of these “accounts”.

As I said, you won't (can't? ) actually articulate how Biden stepping down in the twilight months of his presidency improves anything, or what colossal blunders he's apt to make. "Unfit" is a subjective term and judgement. As frail and diminished as he evidently is, he's still more "fit" than the similarly old, but raving buffoon who was running against him. I have little doubt that Joe Biden can hold it together and run a steady ship until the New Year, even if I didn't support another 4 years for him. "Whatabout Trump?" isn't deflection. It's context for your criticism. While you repeat about Biden that "he's unfit, he's unfit, he's unfit", you're advocating for a muddled fool who humiliated himself ranting about illegal immigrants kidnapping and eating family pets on a televised presidential debate the whole world was watching. For anything but a die-hard Republican, that's a tough sell. 🤷‍♂️

There's nothing in the 1982 Charter that says anything remotely similar to that which I can find. But this may be of interest..... A number of arguments have been put forward in favour of the constitutional protection of property rights. First of all, there is the historical precedent. Property rights have played a central role in the evolution of Canadian society and indeed are an essential part of British parliamentary democracy. These rights can be traced back to the year 1215, when the Magna Carta was signed. The right to own property was also included in the English Bill of Rights in 1689. In 1948, Canada signed the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 17 of which reads: Everyone has the right to own property alone as well as in association with others. No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his property. Property rights are also recognized in the 1960 Canadian Bill of Rights, which affirms the right of the individual to the enjoyment of property and the right not to be deprived thereof except by due process of law. Clearly then, it is arguable that our Constitution should be brought into line with these historical documents. The Supreme Court of Canada, in the case of Harrison v. Carswell,(3) commented upon property rights in Canadian law as follows: Anglo-Canadian jurisprudence has traditionally recognized, as a fundamental freedom, the right of the individual to the enjoyment of property and the right not to be deprived thereof, of any interest therein, save by due process of law.(4) Section 26 of the Charter stipulates that: The guarantee in this Charter of certain rights and freedoms shall not be construed as denying the existence of any other rights and freedoms that exist in Canada. Case law has construed this section to mean that the common law protection of property rights is at least not threatened by the Charter.(5) Only the inclusion of property in the Charter, however, would enable an individual whose property rights had been infringed to have recourse to the enforcement section of the Charter. Subsection 24(1) states in part that "[a]nyone whose rights or freedoms, as guaranteed by this Charter, have been infringed or denied may apply to a court ... to obtain such remedy as the court considers appropriate and just in the circumstances." https://publications.gc.ca/Collection-R/LoPBdP/BP/bp268-e.htm#CONCLUSION

So in other words because the voices in your head say so. The grits and the dips have driven this nation to the edge, trashed it's finances for at least a generation, turned everyone against each other, and broken all of our services and institutions. But you'll support them because a student of one of the most popular prime ministers in history is a (gasp!!!) EEEEVIL TOOOOORRRYYYY. (they steal children you know!) Tell the voices in your head to grow up.

Political reform was part of Justin's original agenda. Went over like a lead balloon so he dropped it. With barely an outcry. No public consensus on what kind of reform, hell even thinking about it is just too hard for most people.
