I don't think that applauding a cold-blooded murder is ever a moral choice

I would have thought his job was to serve his customers. I wonder if he'd use the graph in the OP to make his case? What do you think? But I get it that it's too soon for questions like these. First, we need to heal...

in fairness to Mssr, Poilievre he has already been warning that he would be inheriting such a mess, that nothing is going to be fixed easily the crisis is going to have to get much worse, before the electorate would be prepared for radical measures the Liberals are going to be annihilated but they have inflicted so much damage in such a short period of time it will literally take decades for Canada to dig itself out of the hole even future Liberal governments will be labouring under the weight of Trudeau's catastrophic mismanagement

I agree. It's always best if bad people are brought to justice legally. But there are gaps in the the construction and reach of out justice system. People sometimes take that sense of justice into their own hands. And then nobody quite feels bad about it. Illegal "justice" goes down easier than legal injustice.

no thanks zero interest in being american

carbon tax is fine majority of people profit i am fine with the 500$ yearly i get from it .people are in for a rude awakening when PP removes it and the prices barely more and there rebate checks disappear but prices havn't moved . wonder what PP excuse will be then

There was no Russian collusion, just stop. Don't be intentionally stupid.

Safe injection site is an oxymoron. Injecting hard drugs is inherently dangerous. Canada has become an addiction enabler, more specifically the sucky woke pushovers in BC. Heaven forbid they actually try to help people stop taking drugs. I’m waiting for a class action lawsuit of the parents of dead opioid overdosers to sue the BC government. They need to do it while the communists are still in office.

This particular dumpster fire was set decades and decades ago. The issue of blaming foreign importers of drugs is an old time drug war tactic that all governments used to avoid the pain of seriously curbing domestic consumption. North Americans are the biggest consumers of illicit drugs in the entire world. In any case it's almost always white mules that smugglers employ and who the authorities just wave through while focusing on shaking down the foreigners everyone has been conditioned to suspect.

Nice try, id10t. More people died in the US after Biden was president, and the vax was out by then. It just didn't do anything. Our covid deaths in Canada went sky high after we gave out the jabs, even in the cohort with the highest vax rates

Or burning it for that matter... I might not like it but I accept that (subject to legalities imposed by hate laws) freedom of speech and expression must apply to things I don't like in order to be worth defending. On the other hand, compelling me (or any other person or entity) to fly or not fly a particular flag against my (or their) will is another thing entirely. This is where wild eyed progressives earn their loon feathers and lose the plot entirely. It's also the point where kind strangers who fed the loons when they were starving say "GO FISH." IMO, that nonsense has generated the well deserved and long overdue backlash we're beginning to see now. There simply isn't enough lipstick, pantyhose, or hormone blocker on the planet to allow compelled expression to masquerade as free and no amount of screaming is likely to convince me to feed baby loons next spring. How do ya like me now Herb?

In 1975, many men opposed Thatcher as Conservative leader. In 1979, they voted for her and then re-elected her. Men voted for Golda Meir. They voted for Indira Gandhi.is IMHO, these claims of a glass ceiling in politics are false. === Politics is a contact sport: each player has their own style, successful or not. Harris is no Thatcher. And Trump is no Carter.

Trump picks Florida sheriff Chad Chronister for DEA administrator This is an awful pick. Let's start with this: He violated the First Amendment because of a wrong minded executive order. He does not hold the conviction to protect rights. He allowed himself to be convinced to be a tyrant, "for the greater good." His lack of moral fortitude makes him a horrible pick. It is also being reported that he supports Red Flag laws. Those are laws that suspend the rights of citizens for unsubstantiated reports. Those laws are clearly a violation of the Constitution. A theme that seems to be part of his resume.

Vince McMahon is a piece of shit, we know this. I have never heard a single bad word about his wife. Face it his wife didn't handle ring personnel she ran the office. There is this pedo who works in a McDonalds lets blame the CEO.

These COVID conspiracy people are a dime a dozen. They really need to teach critical thinking as a mandatory course in schools. These people are literally brain-dead.

Me too. In my family for example. My grandfather worked with his hands and read books at night. No snobbery, just a distaste for ignorance.

This is an outright lie. Democrats push sanctuary cities and policies to oppose the deportation of illegal immigrants, those on the left fund humanitarian organizations that work on the border to help facilitate illegal immigrants evading capture and giving them refuge. You even have folks on the left like AOC outright saying we should abolish ICE for crying out loud.

That is not true. There are many many people who believe that what we call illegal immigration now should not be illegal and further that those who did break the law have done nothing wrong and should be allowed to stay. There are many - and i mean MANY - who support legal immigration. And that even includes the current administration.

Trump should have things so fixed by the time Poilievre's elected Canada will have already long since started farting in silk. OTOH, if Trump cocks everything up Poilievre will have both him and Trudeau to blame. Either way if people think he has it easy now they haven't seen anything yet. Poilievre should glide through the history books like shit through a goose.

You can sure he still has pictures of steel columns where the FBI/CIA/WTF knows agents planted nanothermite charges. Just follow the s̶t̶r̶i̶n̶g̶ data.

Sing along with me. Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya.🤣🤣

4 years after covid started and you still can't manage to grasp that efficacy is measured by looking at incidence rates rather than raw numbers. But, to be fair, I wasn't expecting that you would get smarter as the years roll by. 🤷‍♂️

Biggs is one of the biggest frauds in the US House.

Agreed. You need to be very intelligent and open minded to embrace wisdom and intelligence that comes from other sources than yours. This is why I have disdain for people who ignore arguments from intelligent folks who disagree with them. That's not to say chatting with trolls is useful.

I don't think I said that, and if you inferred it, i apologize for the confusion. I firmly believe education and learning are a life-long mission. Learning should never stop. I'm constantly reading new things from a variety of sources that expand my knowledge base. I especially enjoy scientific non-fiction that helps me understand human nature, as well as political readings. I mentioned that I read the 165-page court filing that laid out all the evidence against Trump in his bid to overturn the 2020 election. How many Trump supporters do you think will bother to read it? You need to be very intelligent to be an electrician.

For the covid10ts ( @eyeball @Hodad, etc), right from the mothership of covid disinformation: https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/covid-19-fatalities-have-nearly-doubled-in-a-year-but-expert-says-omicron-deaths-may-be-even-higher-1.6109626 Since October of last year, COVID-19 fatalities have nearly doubled, according to the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) numbers, and January 2022 saw the highest rate of excess mortality in the country after Omicron became the dominant strain. Hmmmm. No mention of "What percent of them were unjabbed". Because it was only about 10%. Check this out, from the same page:

no thank you the election can happen oct 2025 like its suppose to keeping PP out of office as long as possible is best for now. i will gladly vote liberal if i have to in oct over the tool that is PP. atleast with otoole they had a likable choice i got no interest in trump lite in canada getting my support which is what PP is becoming

He won't post in this thread again.

Speaking of pathetic...here are the charges: Count one: conspiracy to defraud the United States, a violation of 18 U.S.C 371 Count two: conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, a violation of 18 U.S.C. 1512 (k) Count three: obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, a violation of 18 U.S.C. 1512 (c)(2),2 Count four: conspiracy against rights, a violation of 18 U.S.C. 241 Do you see "insurrection" there? No you don't. Plus...all charges have been dropped. Now...go lie about something else. This lie has been over used and shown to be completely false, many times now. Have a warm and fuzzy day...loser.

You are really just a shameless, relentless liar. Trump announced his half-assed China travel ban on Jan 31. While literally on that same day, Fauci was publicizing confirmation of not just human-to-human transmission, but also asymptomatic transmission. Jeebus, if it weren't for blatant lies you wouldn't post anything at all.

You can keep crying "democrats pushed" until the cows come home, but THAT STILL WON'T MAKE it REALITY. And that has NOTHING to DO with the disruption of the EC vote count incited by Trump. Duh Keep on swinging and missing CdnLIAR, it just makes you pathetic.

So do tell us how he mislead you.

Talk about someone with no FACTS and doesn't cite anything. Here you go Robosoreloser. https://www.cookpolitical.com/vote-tracker/2024/electoral-college Not sure where you pulled that "fact" from, I suppose you didn't bother to read the articles, Trump fell below 50% but Kamalas is still down 2 million votes from him.

I definitely blame him. He makes his fortune misleading stupid people. There are literally hundreds of idlots on prison because they listened to the lies he willfully and deliberately told to them. He even felt guilty about it--but not enough to stop doing it for the money. Morally and ethically it's no different than the Nigerian Prince scam. Both make money by exploiting gullible people, there's just no law against lying on TV for money.

A true journalist does not have evident bias. Carlson is nothing but bias. Again, he caters to a certain audience and I can't blame the guy for milking it for all its worth.

Well I’d say half the country, largely but not exclusively Canadian born, see the existential attack on the founding cultures and early builders of Canada. That’s what the Freedom Convoy was really about. Vaccine mandate opposition was just about free speech and individual rights. It was the first large-scale test of the Charter that we were told by Pierre Trudeau and the CBC would protect the rights we thought we had as Canadians and that our ancestors fought to protect. Instead we learned that they’re so watered down as to be relatively worthless. It made us look to the US and back in time to the English Common Law we relied on before The Constitution Act. Canadians let a critical mistake happen: We forgot that not all cultures are equal and that you do have to rally around your own founding, controlling culture or you will succumb to the domination of others. Multiculturalism, the attack on traditional values with the Quiet Revolution, the dismantling of our military, and the poorly-supported, weakly-crafted Canadian Constitution essentially severed Canadians from their cultural roots and put us at the mercy of hordes of immigrants whose values and wars we don’t fully comprehend and that undermine some of the best aspects of Canada. It happened so quickly that we don’t know what hit us. Even worse, the dumbest, most radical left Canadians have become a kind of Maoist guard for the very forces that are dismantling our culture and way of life. They want communism and a kind of climate action totalitarianism. They consider Canadians to be settler colonialists and have allied with the radical burn it all down Indigenous activists. Christians and Jews are unsafe in what was recently a Judeo-Christian country. We’re not even allowed to develop and sell our natural resources, because our own government and education systems are telling us it’s colonial theft and destroying the planet. Basically our government isn’t acting in the interests of Canadians. It’s at the mercy of unaccountable international directives because they’ve dismantled Canada and made Canadians believe they deserve less.

I suppose it's easy to be confused about this. Most mainstream journalists these days lack honesty and integrity, while Tucker is overflowing with both. So, in that sense, he doesn't seem like a journalist. But he is one nonetheless. Quite possibly the greatest of all time.

the lab leak story is another lack of folks having so little critical thinking. Expert xyz claims that its the only way it could happen. In short, supposed to believe him blindly. They have no actual video evidence to back this up so its just guessing as to how it spread from the lab(s).

He took me down alright. https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/2024-election-republicans-democrats-id-b2626829.html https://news.gallup.com/poll/651092/2024-election-environment-favorable-gop.aspx https://www.thedailybeast.com/more-americans-now-identify-as-republicans-than-democrats/ Holy crap even the Daily Beast says more people identify as Republicans. Those facts are based on registration and not identity. Just like you believe sex and gender are different being registered and identifying as a Party member is different.

The more you read, the more perspectives you are exposed to, the bigger is your picture. Wow, maybe it's true, that ignorance is bliss. Lol.

Linda is overqualified. Not only did she kick Vince McMahon in the balls and rescue her son Shane, but she turned the tide of the match, allowing Mankind to beat the hell out of the Boss.

Trump sure thought he did, fu cking dingbats freaking out about totalitarianism two weeks into the pandemic had it all figured out too. But what a lot of people never saw coming was how badly so many people would lose their minds over this dangerous nonsense. And in hindsight of that you can be sure if we get hit with something as deadly or worse, and especially if it's sooner rather than later, you'll really be able to say COVID was a nothing burger in comparison. COVID misinformation killed thousands of people who were stoned out of their heads on conspiracy fumes and hindsight shows it's why your country was hit the hardest. But like I suggested maybe you think this death toll was worth it...like it was just refreshing the tree of liberty or something.

I am speaking for myself, and i'm sure i'm not alone...If we are capable of fixing what is wrong, what is it we are waiting for, lightning bolts to come out of the sky...It has been 8 plus years this current government has governed, elected 3 times, which tells me a couple of things , Canadians are content with the dumpster fires, it has become normal, or we can't fix anything with out investing billions...which we don't have, thanks to the liberals spending... The main point of my post was to ask why the US would want Canada in the first place...it has been run to the ground, every department needs a sh1t ton of work that only money can solve, it's own people don't care enough to make change, we think that our responsibility stops at the voting booth. Why would they ever think that would be a good idea...What would Canada's left ever do, even the democrat's are extreme right compare to our left... I would only wish i had the average american problems...and granted both nations have there problems, but to say the US is more dysfunctional than Canada is just a lie....

Eh, this is a real chicken-or- the-egg story. It's Tucker Carlson. It's he an arsehole because his mom didn't like him, or did his mom dislike him because he was an arsehole?

The story in the OP is unbelievable. Forcing activist flags on a polity is insane. Doug Ford should abolish the human rights commission and those fake courts run by non-judges.

Platforms like this forum and Twitter are not the best way to gauge Canadian public opinion. Trump's favorability rating is under 30% in Canada. I would imagine perhaps 1 in 10 Canadians would be in favour of joining the United States. However, this forum is infested with MAGA hyenas, sprouting off nonsense. One may get the opinion that Canadian's cannot wait until Trump "liberates us" from our "tyrannical communist government. by listening to these Kremlin-backed MAGA accounts.

There is no appetite in Canada to become a 51st state other than from MAGA wannabes. Trudeau is just a prime minister and we can get rid of him just like any other PM.

Antisemitism has been ingrained in Judeo-Christian society for centuries, going back to Medieval Europe, where they were not allowed to own land, and confined to living in ghettos. Jews were blamed for pretty much all the problems in Europe- from capitalism to communism. Even in Manitoba in the 20th century, Jews were not allowed to own cabins on the east side of Lake Winnipeg, and were not allowed to live in a wealthy Winnipeg suburb, until the 1960s. It's not surprising at all that the worst literature on Jews were imported to the Arab World from Europe (mainly Nazi Germany), and in many cases, were taught in public schools throughout the Arab World. Antisemitism has intensified for the past 20 years, as a result of the increasing number of Arabs and Muslims in Western countries, especially Germany, France, and the UK.

Right. He has the experience and credibility to merit the job. Even if I think the direction is insane. The contrast between these sorts of nominees and Hegseth, Gaetz or McMahon is extreme. Even MAGA faithful should be able to see. It should be alarming.

Voters on the left tend to be better-educated and bigger consumers of news information than voters on the right. There tends to be an anti-intellectual bias on the right, especially amoung the religious. How else to explain that a lot of fundamentalist Christians view a belief in evolution and climate change as sins. In fact, a rejection of "intellectual elites" may have cost Harris the election.
