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.

I would like to thank "Team Canada" for their good faith arguments based on knowledge and factual information. It certainly has not been easy in 2024, to debate with a bunch of MAGA Hyenas, but you were all up for the task, and I commend you for it. Team Canada is composed of: @Michael Hardner @myata @robosmith @BeaverFever @Hodad @Moonlight Graham @eyeball @Moonbox @Black Dog @Queenmandy85 @Politics1990 @herbie @Radiorum Sorry if I forgot anyone. You made 2024 much better. Thank you for believing in democracy.

Do cultists ever get tired of seeing the Dems just levelling vicious and completely unsubstantiated slander at political opponents? Is even one of you guys getting a bit tired of it? "OMG, a woman claims to have been nearly raped by the appointee at some point in the late '90s at a house somewhere in NY or NJ but the poor thing has no evidence or witnesses. *nom nom nom nom* WE HAVE TO BELIEVE! *nom nom nom nom*" That's a great characterization of the Dem thought process in action if I do say so myself.

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'.😀

Why shouldn't people of similar capability compete with each other? VERY FEW trans women are 6'6" and 230lbs like me.

^LIES by MEME is the cowards way. OWN YOUR LIES like a MAN ^MORE cowardly LIES BY MEME. OWN your LIES like the TROLL you ARE. LMAO

I guess you have never heard of Scandinavia. I agree. Biological males competing in Women's sports is cheating. No different that taking performance enhancing drugs.

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

Sarcastically praising you for realizing the climate changes. Good for you. No, you're the id1ot who thinks conflating ordinary climate change with anthropogenic climate change cleverly dismisses the concern. I told you to go check the IPCC timelines yourself because there's no way you'll ever going take my word for it.

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.

The answer doesn't change stupid. Whether they exist or whether or not trump was involved in them or whether or not what trump did is unlawful is to be decided by a court challenge and a judge after the entire process is complete. And that's what your answer should be as well unless you're a big fan of Hitler and Stalin. There's no work around to that. This is why we have jurisprudence. Why are all you lefties so amazingly authoritarian dictatorial fascists? Like i said, you can say that you find the balance of probabilities to be so, perhaps even clear and convincing but a criminal level of certainty needs to be tried in a court of law where evidence can be presented and tested. This lady didn't even go through a trial, for all you know they threatened her kid unless she gave a confession. So lets get to the meat of the matter. You don't give a shit about the law. You don't give a crap about what trump did or didn't do. And you couldn't give a flying eff about what does or doesn't exist. What YOU care about is orange man bad and to hell with people's rights, the importance of jurisprudence, or anythnig else. Which makes you a bad person. If you wanted to say "i find the evidence that trump did something convincing" that's perfectly fine, but you don't. You want him to have been found guilty by a court of law without ever having been in court for the issue. When trump has had a fair trial and a judge and jury has found him guilty and the appeals process has been satistfied then sure. Hell even before the appeals you can say he was convicted of it and to the best of our knowledge at this point he's guilty. but at this point all you can say is that you find the evidence we have compelling.

Do not forget that democracy must be imposed on the people.

Yes I think he was guilty. But he got off mainly because of the jury members giving a giant FU to the 'white' justice system.

i support her on most things but wasnt she flipping cause 2 democrats voted against trans woman being in woman sports? i am sorry i am center -left but i will never be in favor of trans woman (born male) being allowed in womans sports no matter how much democrats seem to want it

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)

There was a Western separatist movement, and with the disaster inflicted upon us by the East putting the Little Turd in power for 10 years it may well rejuvenate. Problem is: without AB/SK/MB energy there is no way Ottawa could afford Quebec.

It would mean that Americans would pay 25% more for the 4 million barrels of oil we send them every day.

International trade and borders are a federal jurisdiction

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

not loaded. its called questioning presumptions. if you can't answer them... then there is a problem with your rational argument. what do you mean by twist the law? are the judge, lawyers, defendants and litigants all lying in the adjudicated decisions i've already cited?

i read it. "There is no immunity for unofficial acts." you're right about my unnecessary question... one just needs to dig a little more. Texts reveal Trump co-defendant Chesebro’s role in ‘fake electors’ plot "Chesebro has pleaded guilty to conspiracy to file false documents" here is the settlement agreement with the electors: https://www.lawforward.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/40p7182-fake-electors-press-release.pdf "On December 14, 2020, in compliance with requests received from the Trump campaign and the Republican Party of Wisconsin, we met at the Wisconsin State Capitol and executed a document titled “Certificate of the Votes of the 2020 Electors from Wisconsin.” That document stated, in part, that we were “the duly elected and qualified Electors for President and Vice President of the United States of America from the State of Wisconsin.” The Elector Defendants took the foregoing action because they were told that it was necessary to preserve their electoral votes in the event a court challenge may later change the outcome of the election in Wisconsin. That document was then used as part of an attempt to improperly overturn the 2020 presidential election results. note that i'm only identifying evidence that has to date been adjudicated by a judge! since people who fail to admit that anything was going on are using it as some excuse. so i'm asking you again... do those documents exist?

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.

enlighten us. also, those certificates of ascertainment identifying Trump in states that Biden won... do they exist?

Says who? You? The truth is the citizens of B.C. were never asked. This is being done by Socialist, progressive woke politicians who could care less about the citizens of B.C. Their days are limited and when B.C. Conservatives get elected, it will be the end of this madness. I would say any rational person would have an issue with giving aboriginals any right to be involved in the decision-making process for natural resource projects. It is non of their business and they should not involved in it any more than the average person.

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

LOL, so well documented... they waited years to indict him. There was no coup.

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.

IF you really believe exposure to lead is "fear-porn," you are much bigger lDIOT than I thought. LMAO Is there NOTHING economically advantageous to yourself that you will not defend? You're probably prima facie evidence of the damage lead exposure can to. LMAO And you're dumb enough to not understand the meaning. But more likely you're just disingenuously playing dumb to make a really stupid joke.

MAGA m0rons politicizing everything. I suppose because removing lead from gasoline was too 'woke' or 'leftist' for their f*cking troglodyte brains. FFS the first ICE engines invented ran on alcohol, they knew the octane benefit from Day One and only used tetraethyl lead cuz when gas cars got popular because their contemporary ass-backwards dopes had banned and heavily taxed the production of alcohol at the time.

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.

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
