You are right of course. It is ironic. The Conservative government refused to arm our Honest John and Bomarc missiles with nuclear warheads in 1963. As a result, the govenment fell and the Liberals campaigned on a promise to give the Canadian Forces nuclear weapons. The pro- nuclear Liberals under Mike Pearson won. If we had our own independent nuclear weapons, we would not have NATO, or the Americans telling us what we can and can't do. I support NATO, but nobody wants to pay for a viable conventional military. We are surrounded by the three Super-powers all armed with nuclear weapons. Ukraine has the same population as Canada. They were the third largest nuclear power in the world. Then, they were suckered into giving away their 2900 nuclear weapons in exchange for a "guarantee" to defend their borders and sovereignty. The guarantors were UK, Russia and the USA. If they had declined the deal, there would have been no invasion and tens of thousands of Ukrainians and Russians would still be alive. For over fifty years, I have advocated Canada have a viable conventional force. I got no where.

We did not build sh!t, Justin thought it would be a good idea to buy it, That's all on the liberals....Had they been listening to Alberta we would have a cross Canada pipeline to the Maritimes, so we could take advantage of cheap oil instead of buying Saudi oil at inflated prices.... tons of other pipelines could have been built, along with bitumen processing plants, even regulaR refiners so we did not have to rely on the states to process our oil then sell it back to us at inflated prices....

Each day I will post about someone who is involved with making America a better place. With so much hatred and division, one person stands out: AOC Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a true American hero. She came from humble beginnings in the Bronx, living with her working class family. AOC never had a free ride, like most politicians. She did it the old fashion way, putting herself through University by working as a waitress and bartender. She exhibits all the traits Americans should strive for. She cares for the working class, and is a peoples champion. Not only is AOC physically beautiful, but her heart is in the right place.

So, if I witness John kill Mary, I can't consider it a murder until a judge says so? Omg, for someone who says only judges should be allowed to judge you sure are quick to judge Assumption, presumption and judging You think Trump has the right to illegally overturn the 2020 election? More judging There was sufficient evidence in the report to convict Trump. But now the criminal is the president-elect. So, his crime cannot be punished. That's the simple truth. On Monday, when Trump swears to uphold the Constitution, it will be as meaningless as it was the first time he took that oath in January 2017. As one of the coauthors of Project 2025, Russel Vought, says: Our constitutional institutions, understandings, and practices have all been transformed, over decades, away from the words on the paper into a new arrangement—a new regime if you will—that pays only lip service to the old Constitution.

Like what, the right to die because you can't afford health care?

The simple fact is if anyone proposed the USA adopted a robust social welfare model like the Nordic states, you and all your fellow chuds would cry that it was socialism lol.

Kudos to CNN for picking on an adult this time instead of a minor. While slandering random civilians would be a huge embarrassment for most news orgs, this is a big step up for the likes of CNN, WashPo, and NYT.

Bro you think China's pollution isn't because of the rapacious demands of global capitalism.

Capitalism.

Actually we did, the TMX at a cost of over 30 billion to get Alberta heavy oil to the west coast so they don''t have to be captive to US refineries. Who was going to build this pipeline to the east coast, there are no eastern refineries with the capacity to process heavy oil. Who was going to build those refineries?

That explains the Dems fixation with Russia. Borking is eating Russian sausage seared with Vodka and served with a generous helping of tablespin sauce.

Ever since it became synonymous with kissing Trump's ass. What are you talking about, Canada built them a pipeline FFS.

What's your view on CNN damaging this poor man?

anytime a Republican wins 33% of the vote in the Bronx that's a wave wherein the Republican is going to sweep the swing states and it was all thanks to Woke Progressive leftist kooks like AOC alienating the American electorate God bless them

DUI opened the door wide open for this. If he follows through tomorrow, there may be more memes, depending on who he chooses. And AOC is just one of many Democrats that are 'meme gold'.😀

Calling you the coward you are, when you hide from me, is just that. Even now, you are playing your same stupid games, because you are too ignorant or dishonest to discuss what Hegseth was actually doing in that picture.

The last refuge of pathetic, cowardly liars like you, chopping up quotes to fabricate something not said so you can respond to it. Just pathetic.

And always very ARTICULATE in her advocacy.

The irony here is they had two trans dudes in office and were ok with it. But somehow Pete taking that photo is offensive? How? Why? More proof that they don't have a logical bone in their body. They behave 1000% on emotion.

raised on their Apple iPhones to be de facto Americans by the default of a Post National State practically every Zoomer bro I meet is Red Pilled they despise the Woke Progressive lunacy of so called "Canada" but since they are either in the military or at university they say they can't speak freely about it, since it's practically criminalized to do so one things for sure tho, they want their free speech, and they want their guns with a right to defend themselves to a man, they want to follow Jordan Peterson & Joe Rogan to the promised land 1st & 2nd Amendments FTW

Once again, you're losing an argument with @User and you go to the homosexual reference (this time with pics you think of as sexual). Every time. "i'm losing! What can save me now? I know - Homosexuality!!!" Yeash. Learn how to debate.

There's nothing baseless about the assertion that people who would oppose equal human rights are barely fit to be called human themselves. 🤣 Compared to you I'm a conservative. There's nothing cowardly about ignoring patently dumb questions. But if you're truly serious about requiring an answer you can live with why didn't you go look it up in a dictionary?

Made up? Prove it. To the left of what? You need help with that too? It's no wonder equal rights frighten you.

The fact 1/4 of the states still haven't ratified the 28th Amendment is what's extreme. Like something you'd find in ISIS' Caliphate. I can't believe the other 3/4 of the states haven't liberated them. BTW you should probably run away and hide now, you know this thread isn't going to go well for you.

Way to keep an open mind. And this man isn't Trumpworld. Although he has not publicly stated who he voted for this last election as of yet, he has said that he has been a staunch Democrat supporter for most of his life.

Taking shots at Smith is definitely a lot easier than trying to dispute the facts of Trump's well-documented crimes. Have fun with that.

Ridiculous. You ignore the cons of socialism from the very link you sited. Typical.

Pros of socialism Reduction of relative poverty. A welfare state which provides a minimum basic income for those who are unemployed, sick or unable to work maintains a basic living standard for the poorest in society and helps to reduce relative poverty. Free health care. Free health care at the point of use means everyone is entitled to basic health care. This increases the living standards of those who cannot afford to pay private doctors. By improving the nation’s health it also contributes towards increased labour productivity and higher economic growth in the long-term. In the US, there is no universal health care and uninsured workers can slip through the net and either not be entitled to health care or go bankrupt trying to pay bills. According to CNBC (2019) ‘[in the US], An estimated 530,000 families turn to bankruptcy each year because of medical issues and bills.] Diminishing marginal utility of income. From a utilitarian perspective, a redistribution of income and opportunity from the very rich to the very poor can increase total utility [happiness] in society. A millionaire who pays a marginal income tax rate of 50% still has the ability to buy most goods they need. If an unemployed person gains an extra £50 it leads to a very large increase in utility because they can afford to buy basic necessities. See: diminishing marginal utility of income/wealth A more equal society is more cohesive. A society which has equality of opportunity and limited inequality is likely to be more cohesive. If people perceive they live in a very unequal society – exploited by monopsony employers and earning significantly less than their bosses, it can lead to frustration and resentment. If everyone feels they have a fair stake in society, it can help create a more harmonious society where workers are committed to the success of the firm which they work. Socialist values encourage selflessness rather than selfishness. Capitalism encourages attitudes to make profit – even if it is at the cost of other individuals or the environment. A socialist society does not pursue profit as its highest goal, but social cohesion and the common good. Benefits of public ownership. The benefit of public ownership is that companies can be run in the public interest rather than just for the benefit of shareholders. For example, industries like railways and water have significant externalities, which are ignored in a profit-oriented company. Public ownership of water and the railways allows the companies to target goals such as long-term investment, low prices for the consumer and improved safety. Environment. An economy which is regulated to work towards the long-term welfare will place a higher value on environmental concerns, such as limiting pollution – even if it lowers profit. Reduced hidden taxes. An economy with no public health care will have lower tax rates. However, individuals and firms will pay for health care in a different form. In the US both firms and individuals pay significant sums for private insurance. Therefore, although there is less tax, there is the ‘hidden’ tax of private health insurance. Furthermore, because the US health care system is for-profit with fewer constraints to limit spending, the US pay significantly more on health care (17.6% of GDP) than other countries (e.g. UK 9.6% of GDP) (See: Health care spending)

well I suspect that Canadian politicians are bluffing but if Canada actually tried to cut America off from the oil & electricity that could get out of Canada's control, Canada biting off more than it was bargaining for

As an aside, if true the 148 million dollar number just shows this case for what it is. Just weaponized judicial system to never challenge anything or they'll take everything from you. Shows the vile scum that Democrats support

The underlying dishonesty to this is whole "climate change is real" is evident here. Of course climate change is real. The climate has been changing since the known existence of a climate. The dishonesty is conflating that with the extreme left-wing climate change alarmism.

And you;re also a fool if you believe the LIAR Giuliani. Like I said, he lied about the situation being "unfortunate," when he planned it a carried it out. AKA had NOTHING to do with fortune.

And SCOTUS threw it out so Jack Smith rebranded it. It's just worthless crap. He knows it. He just can't admit it.

Bullshit. The report contains thoroughly documented crimes. Not hunches or rumors or allegations. The facts of the coup attempt, for example, are not remotely in question.

Nice try. Bork was unanimously confirmed in the senate to be a federal judge in 1982, almost ten years after Watergate. It wasn't until '87 that the Dems went berserk: Just hours after the nomination, Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA) declared in a greatly publicized speech that if Bork were confirmed, women “would be forced into back-alley abortions”, blacks would be forced to accept segregation in “lunch counters”, law enforcement agents would “break down citizens’ doors in midnight raids”, children would never learn about evolution in school, and artists “could be censored” by over-reaching federal authorities. Other prominent Democrats joined the fierce criticism of Bork’s nomination and candidacy. Some of them focused on the nominee’s previous legal rulings as a judge. Others turned to the leaked list of the nominee’s rented movies, apparently looking for something incriminating in his individual entertainment preferences. Yet others pointed to Bork’s second marriage – to a Catholic woman – as proof of his presumed staunch opposition to abortion. bork verb (1)ˈbȯrk variants or less commonly Bork US politics, informal : to attack or defeat (a nominee or candidate for public office) unfairly through an organized campaign of harsh public criticism or vilification Regardless of how you feel about judge Bork, the Dems are still Borking constantly, and their constant stream of lies and hypocrisy is even more tiresome than it is outrageous now.

Only republican ones

Since when is protecting Alberta jobs a bad thing, i mean liberals have made it a trademark move, remember SNC lavin, justin broke the law protecting french jobs.....so again what is wrong with protecting jobs....not just any jobs but jobs that bring in good value to our GDP, thousands of jobs would be affected if energy hits our oil and gas sectors...

LOL well fair enough. I knew he was adopted to a french family in Calgary but i thought he was originally born somewhere else. I have no data on the skiing.

Yet here I am, still responding and laughing about how you still believe that what you insist on is what manifests in reality. 🤡 Is there anything more sad than bragging about how you farmed the most upvotes after posting at least 50x more than the next closest guy? Tell us more about how little you have going on in your life.

No, what you're doing is pushing the trans agenda. I have yet to see any hard evidence that there -is- a "trans agenda". There are people like me who believe that trans people should be treated with respect though.

you would hope so but i learned years ago to never underestimate the stupidity of the Alberta electorate

"Team Canada" reduced to being nothing more than a farm team for the Democrat Party in America, who knew ? Trump Derangement Syndrome FTW

1. Well, the thing is: -You call me a liar when I state my OPINIONS sometimes. Which is like me saying "I like chocolate" and you saying "No you don't" -You state that you only respond to me to call out my lies but you also add to my points and in fact don't always call me out. So am I a liar or not ? -You seem to think that it's ok to disparage my character and that I should be unbothered by that and just go on posting as though I have some obligation to you or the forum to put up with it. 2. "You should" means you're prescribing what this forum is and should be. I would counter that with saying "you SHOULD" engage in substantial arguments and not name-call. Furthermore my version of how this forum should operate is substantiated in the Guidelines: https://repolitics.com/forums/guidelines/ Be Polite and Respect Others Repolitics.com operates these forums in the hopes that they will promote intelligent, honest and responsible discussion. We encourage you to speak your mind on relevant issues in a thoughtful way. Please respect others using this board and treat them with respect and dignity. 3. I'm glad that you're unhappy with this. Given that you don't like how the forum works, I recommend the best thing is for you to leave immediately and never come back. I think that would be best.

You mischaracterize me as "hiding" when I just try to avoid you. You call me a liar. Do you expect me to engage with you ? Why do you want to engage with me ? It's pathological, as far as I can see.
