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?

Mayor says he refuses to be bullied or pay fine in Pride flag flap | Toronto Sun So the short version is the town decided not to fly the gay flag for pride month. The Ontario Human Rights board call that Transphobia and demanded that the mayor who voted for that paid $5,000 personally and that the town had to pay $10,000, and that the mayor also had to attend a re-education camp to learn about trans people. He didn't say anything negative about trans people. The town did not vote against trans people or anything they just did not want to fly the flag. And now they are both being attacked personally and as a community because they didn't want to be forced to do something. How insane the whole trans agenda has gotten. It's not even a question of saying anything negative about them, if you refuse to praise them and sing their glories then you may personally be on the hook for thousands of dollars. You must literally say what they want you to say and do what they want you to do or face severe repercussions from the state. I hope they fight this all the way to the supreme court. It is absolutely disgusting that people be forced to wave a flag and sing the Praises of something that they don't necessarily agree with

Unsure why I am addressing this, considering I have addressed this point numerous times, and gave references, but her it goes. Per-capita, Americans pay over twice as much for their health care system, as opposed to the Canadian system. MAID is controversial, but I agree with euthanasia, in some cases. Is it not a good thing to control one's destiny after being diagnosed with a terminal illness, or a condition such as Alzheimer's? I know that the consensus in my family, is that they would rather die than live out the last few remaining years of life, in a retirement home, with dementia.

The Americans are electing politicians that are cutting health care, social security, etc. The real difference is Canadian are more likely to push back against the Government, if they try and reduce health related services. Not only that, but the talk about implementing a health care system more like the Canadian one, has been ongoing for decades. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/health/how-canada-got-universal-health-care-and-what-the-u-s-could-learn

The Canadian system is very stressed, and is in need of some overhauling. However, to suggest the American system is superior, is a ridiculous take. There are tens of millions of Americans who are uninsured. Even when Americans are insured, they have to deal with predatory insurance companies like the one the CEO was in, with a 32% claims denial rate.

Well no. I'm not a whelp, cub, or young hound.

Well there's also the part where out they sometimes don't get what they pay for if their insurance company arbitrarily decides to refuse coverage, which is quite probably why this particular CEO is now so well ventilated.

Only when Morris Dancing. All other times I identify as a Maserati. pedale per il metallo

indeed the raison d'etre of the left is the French Revolution The Commune inevitably becomes The Terror

I merely pointed out that Democrats are more educated than Republicans. This is a fact. And I venture to make the suggestion that those who seek education are more likely to seek it throughout their lives. But, where are people acquiring their knowledge? When asked about the news sources they trust, the only sources that Republicans trusted more than Democrats were Fox News, Newsmax, OAN, and Breitbart News - all notorious for their conspiracy theories and misinformation. It's about educating yourself to the facts. Nuh-huh. I've known a lot of very intelligent tradesmen in my time.

The ironic, hypocrisy of this is amazing. These sanctimonious asṣholes opine on and on about consumer this and rights that, but they have never seen a tax they didn't love and they have never said no to spending. They've never worked a day in their life, much less owned and run a business. They just want to make statements that the low information, emotionally stunted liberals will love.

To sum up, I must make plain: No-one - and I mean no-one - supports illegal immigration. To say otherwise is to twist the truth. But - the way to go is not to demonize and dehumanize segments of humanity. We've seen how that worked out in the past.

I'm responding to this days later, but I think you're prevaricating. On one hand you're right. People should focus on what's important. On the other hand, we have an obvious case of people doing exactly the opposite, going nuclear on a nothing-burger and bringing government institutions to bear against people who aren't doing what they want them to. In a normal, reasonable world, the worst that should happen here is that folks view the Township of Emo as backward, old-fashioned, or perhaps a bit ignorant. Maybe if the Township didn't like the negative attention, they'd vote the Mayor out, or maybe they'd quietly appreciate it. It's up to them. Instead, now we are living through the batshit madness of the CHRC laying the hammer down and imposing fines on people for not flying a rainbow flag. If anyone is struggling to understand how a turd like Trump gets elected (a second time no less), you need look no further than cases like this.

This is a perfect example of how the left justifies violence. They justified violence in Ferguson. They justified violence in Minneapolis. They justified violence in Atlanta. They justified violence in L.A. twice. They cheered when Trump was shot and lamented it wasn't a better shot. They lamented the second shooter didn't get close enough. Now they are cheering that a CEO is shot because they don't like his business practices.

The Health Insurance companies have denied claims that have gone on to either cost tens of millions the American people their life savings, or their lives. There is zero sympathy for CEO's of predatory companies in America.

I'm moving to Texas on day 1. Adios motherfathers 😎

A quick look at the website shows it is not an objective organization, but pro-Trump and anti-Biden, very right-wing So, I would take any conclusion they make with a grain of salt.

got no problem with gay marriage if your happy then you should be able to marry whoever you want or supporting lgbtq rights but kind of draw the line when there threating to fine a mayor for not flying a pride flag

Absolutely there was. It's documented for all the world to see

This is true. I'd like a democrat to point out one significant achievement that b*tch made in the entire four years she was VP.

I believe she said Fred Trump withheld affection, from both kids and the family in general. He berated them constantly and made his temporary approval conditional on them displaying certain behaviours like dominating others and encouraged unhealthy competition and bullying, between them. Fred Jr was least favoured because daddy thought he was too “soft” and rewarded Trump’s bullying of his older brother. But Donald was not spoiled in terms of being showered with affection, he was just slightly better off than his brother. He was only spoiled in the sense that like all insanely rich people he had an army of flunkies to pave the road in front of him, clean ip messes behind him and do things like write him fake medical certificates for non-existent bone spurs so he could dodge the draft Family dysfunction Well-to-do from the small fortune Fred’s brothel-keeper father had made, this unhappy Trump family was unhappy in its own way, all five siblings warped by its oppressive frigidity, “but my uncle Donald and my father, Freddy, suffered more than the rest.” In her telling, a critical shift came one night when Donald was 2 1/2. His mother nearly died from post-partum complications, was hospitalized for months and “never completely recovered.” Finally back home, she was … weird — an insomniac “wandering around the House at all hours like a soundless wraith… In the morning her children sometimes found her unconscious in unexpected places.” “Unstable and needy,” she used “her children to comfort herself rather than comforting them.” And so, as a result of his mother’s de facto abandonment and his father’s disengaged failure to “make him feel safe or loved [or] valued,” Donald developed “powerful but primitive defenses” — a willful callousness and “an increasing hostility to others … narcissism, bullying, grandiosity.” … That’s because, according to Mary Trump PhD, Fred Trump was a “sociopath” who taught his children that his affection for them “was entirely conditional.” One of his explicit conditions for approving of any Trump son was that he be a “killer.” And so Donald’s transgressions “became an audition for his father’s favor, as if he were saying ‘See, dad, I’m the tough one. I’m the killer.’ ” As when he obeyed Fred’s apparent order to drive up to Massachusetts and whack Freddy, who’d just achieved his dream of becoming a TWA pilot. “You know,” 18-year-old Donald told him, “dad’s really sick of you wasting your life.... He says he’s embarrassed by you ... Freddy, dad‘s right about you: you’re nothing but a glorified bus driver.” Freddy promptly became an alcoholic, got canned as a pilot, returned to the family business and ruined his marriage, finally living in his indifferent parents’ attic and dying from heart disease at 42 in 1981. Meanwhile, the “reckless hyperbole and unearned confidence” of his shameless younger brother, masks for “pathological weaknesses and insecurities,” were a perfect match for the manic, money-crazed, celebrity-obsessed perception-is-reality zeitgeist. In the 1980s he turned himself into famous Manhattan developer Donald Trump. https://enewspaper.latimes.com/infinity/article_share.aspx?guid=dffe646e-a537-4a02-a158-4e5c35356dae

Like its hard.

In the right setting sure. My last stab at the public school system at Jarvis Secondary in Toronto was characterized by 50 students per class with little more to do than throw spitballs and paper airplanes around while teachers had meltdowns trying to reign in the chaos. A complete waste of time in other words. I dropped out, joined the workforce and came out west a couple years after that and started logging and fishing. I took a number of different college and university courses related to other industries and things I got involved in later in life. It's worked out, better than it certainly could have been - I didn't get killed along the way like a few of my old buddies.

there is no reason to use force Canada is coming to us by its own free will Canada having erased Canadian history and culture; they have nowhere else to go

That's not going to help with the 4 billion dollar damage riots that the democrats pushed last time they were out of power which were vastly worse than anything that happened on January 6th

We don't take advice from a turncoat.

Not a journalist. Not in any way, shape or form.

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.

except, every Gen Z boy I meet in Canada is a MAGA bro the Red Pilled young men utterly reject the Woke Progressive lunacy embraced by the Boomers & Millennials there's just nothing in Canada for those lads to rally around Canada having completely succumb to post modern Cultural Marxism thus the patriotic young men in Canada look to MAGA in America as their salvation and we MAGA Republicans welcome them, as brother in arms Rangers, lead the way

What a horrible thing to say. Completely uncalled for. When you dehumanize your opponent, when you make them into monsters, you are following in Trump's footsteps. And this is being addressed. The Laken Riley Act was passed March 7 Shown Here: Passed House (03/07/2024) Laken Riley Act This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to detain certain non-U.S. nationals (aliens under federal law) who have been arrested for burglary, theft, larceny, or shoplifting. The bill also authorizes states to sue the federal government for decisions or alleged failures related to immigration enforcement. Under this bill, DHS must detain an individual who (1) is unlawfully present in the United States or did not possess the necessary documents when applying for admission; and (2) has been charged with, arrested for, convicted for, or admits to having committed acts that constitute the essential elements of burglary, theft, larceny, or shoplifting. The bill also authorizes state governments to sue for injunctive relief over certain immigration-related decisions or alleged failures by the federal government if the decision or failure caused the state or its residents harm, including financial harm of more than $100. Specifically, the state government may sue the federal government over a decision to release a non-U.S. national from custody; failure to fulfill requirements relating to inspecting individuals seeking admission into the United States, including requirements related to asylum interviews; failure to fulfill a requirement to stop issuing visas to nationals of a country that unreasonably denies or delays acceptance of nationals of that country; violation of limitations on immigration parole, such as the requirement that parole be granted only on a case-by-case basis; or failure to detain an individual who has been ordered removed from the United States. https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/7511

So we went from removing laws that banned homosexual acts because most people thought that they were unnatural and immoral to making the public celebrate acts that many people still think are unnatural or immoral, punishable by drastic fines and possible charges. Not even Sodom issued penalties for not supporting homosexual acts. Pathetic.

This is the thing that many democrats just don't understand You can say what you like, but the only one thing we can be sure about when it comes to an illegal immigrant is that they have already proven that they are willing to break our laws. We can be 100% sure that they will disregard serious laws if they feel like it. Which means we can't possibly know where they would draw the line and which law is a law too far for them. But they have already proven that they are criminals and that should be enough to assume the worst

If most people weren't that way you would live in silence

Not better educated, they just have more education. Right. Got it. This is inaccurate. Mental health issues are a bipartisan issue, indistinguishable across party lines. The data showed 25.2% of Democrats screened positive for depression, compared with 23% of Independents and 20.5% of Republicans. These differences were not statistically significant, meaning that depression does not appear to discriminate by political belief. Where there is a difference is access to mental health care and the willingness to seek care. the researchers found that Republicans were significantly less likely than both their Democratic and Independent counterparts to have sought help from a mental health care provider in the past 12 months. The study also showed that, among those with depressive symptoms, 73.9% of Republicans had unmet mental health care needs, versus 58.9% for Democrats and 58% Independents. So, there's a lot more untreated Republicans. https://publichealth.jhu.edu/2024/new-study-shows-bipartisan-struggles-with-depression-reveals-gaps-in-mental-health-care-access You made this up. And it's the patient who reports, not the other way around. Christians on the Left are different from Christians on the Right. While conservative evangelicalism tends to focus on sin, repentance, and salvation, the Christian Left identify Christ’s radical love and inclusion for marginalized people as the locus of their faith. Liberal Christians are more likely to “frame conversations around issues such as environmental action, LGBTQ+ rights, women’s reproductive health, immigration, racial equality, affordable housing, and wealth disparity.” https://www.yesmagazine.org/social-justice/2019/12/24/political-christian-belief And as far as accepting the theory of evolution as a valid scientific theory, only 24% of Evangelical Christians agree that evolution is the best explanation for the origin of human life on earth. This number jumps to a majority of mainline Protestants and Catholics. In fact, did you know that there is an association called The Pontifical Academy of Sciences? Here’s a link to their page listing articles (209 of them) about evolution: https://www.pas.va/en/search.html?q=evolution

Carlson is also a traitor to his country, pushing pro-Kremlin propaganda, while comparing America unfavourably to Russia. His show on FOX, consistently pushed false narratives.

I think that people want a public space without bots or trolls. This place used to be like that.

Yes, people seem to be very selective about what they protest - I agree with that. You can say that without even taking into account the facts of what happened. How about the post above mine - seriously asks what the Jews did to "Deserve" this ? Presumably not worshiping Christ. Did we have a single post on here suggesting the civilians at the WTC "deserved" the attacks of Sept 11th ? I do not think so... Instead the same suspects accused "zionists" of being part of yet another conspiracy. Antisemitism is pervasive...

My experiences with Jews, growing up in Winnipeg, were always positive. I lived in a predominantly Jewish area of the city in my late teens/early 20s, and worked one summer at a Jewish camp. I was always impressed to see a group of people that has been persecuted so much throughout history, always remain positive, and have such a good outlook at life. I'm not a fan of the Israeli Government, or what they have been doing for the past year. However, it's very telling that 99% of the protests in the Western World are against Israel, and the attacks on Jews have increased dramatically. Yet conflicts that have been arguably more deadly (Ukraine, Syria, Kurdistan, Armenia, Sudan, Yemen), and barely are even mentioned, let alone have people marching against Russia, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, etc..

What, the banning of all political parties except the Nazi party or the brown shirts vandalizing Jewish-owned businesses? Any society that doesn’t allow someone to vote with their conscience or speak their mind on an issue is oppressive by definition. Canada is under the control of globalist woke-green fascists. Their intent is a kind of communist wealth redistribution and totalitarian manipulation of social behaviour towards UN climate and Sustainable Development Goals. In practice, since true communism is against human nature, it’s just another iteration of the totalitarian impulse in the form of stakeholder capitalism, a fascistic partnership between government and large corporations to advance their interests, which usually are all about self-interest, under the cover of saving the planet. The only acceptable publicly-held beliefs in this creepy scheme are inclusivity and fighting climate change. Family and local decision-making (subsidiarity), the cornerstones of democracy, are in the way of this machine. Also the trans phenomenon is no accident. Big pharma and big tech benefit from biochemical manipulation and eradication of natural gender and all things natural and human. Transhumanism and artificial intelligence are bedfellows. We are already virtual cyborgs. Just try going without your cell phone for more than a day.
