No disgrace at all. Just one aspect of our system. We elect parties, not prime ministers. The winning party can choose whoever they want for "Prime" minister. However it is very important for that person to get into the Commons (if they aren't there already) to answer the opposition's questions. Sorry you're feeling ill and hope you get better soon.

You don't express doubts, you come out and out say that we should be keep voting for those who are corrupt. You say there's no value in punishing these parties for their corruption. And you blame Harper for Justin's Behavior because he didn't try hard enough somehow to pass laws any of which Justin can remove and did in many cases. And where he didn't remove the laws he got caught by them which you say proves that they don't work somehow. Everything you say paints a clear picture that you don't care about corruption as long as it's liberal corruption.

TO ACCOMPLISH NOTHING OF SUBSTANCE. Two trillion dollars to achieve an artificial reduction goal that will make no detectable difference in world co2 levels now or in the future. F*ck that.

FAFO edition. NY and Letitia James FA'd no they are in the Find Out phase. The Banana Republic is dead. The only way to make sure it stays dead is to bring real, material losses to those that were responsible.

Yes and you are incorrect it is spelled acupeopleperson.

Don't hold your breath. I plan on living forever. And I relish your desperation.

Libs: "You must take a vaccine for everything and if you question the side effects you will be sent to jail! Also, make sure you social distance! " Also Libs: "I don't want to eat chickens that have been vaccinated and can't roam as they please."

I think she is qualified but I don't think Liberals have forgiven her for the way she turned on Trudeau. They also know that to have a chance in the next election, they can't choose someone who was so close to Trudeau and such a part of his policies.

Such intellect.

Trump says he and Putin have agreed to begin ‘negotiations’ on ending Ukraine war And the left is freaking out. Will this be the end to the swamps Ukrainian piggy bank?

Over fifty nations are contributing to Ukraine defence. In terms of security contribution as a percent of GDP, the US ranks tenth, behind Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Denmark Norway and the UK. They all understand that global stability is as stake. Now, if the US is only concerned with their own interests, then they need to understand the consequences of a Putin win. The world markets would be thrown into chaos. Huge impact on US interest. The war has had an outsized and destabilizing impact on Europe’s economy, impacting America’s economic interests given Europe remains one of our most trusted trading partners. With $1 trillion in annual U.S. trade with the continent, stable European markets are critical for the exports of American companies and workers with 1 in 5 U.S. jobs depending on international trade. Europe also remains America’s fifth largest market for agricultural exports from America’s heartland and beyond. https://www.usglc.org/the-importance-of-u-s-assistance-to-ukraine/

So he’s going to stab Ukraine in the back. A clear message to all of America’s partners in the world.

Where did they say that? You are comical. The US IS NATO. The other NATO members only survived as long as they have on the deterrence of having the US footing most of any real military deterrence. Trump is having to drag the other NATO nations kicking and screaming to properly funding their own military. But yeah, sure, kicking us out is the big plan. LOL

You know shit's f*cked when even a Federalist Society ghoul and former Scalia underling has had enough. Top federal prosecutor in NY resigns after being told to drop Adams charges

You're basing your fantasy of what lefties are like based on another retarded conservative's fantasies, it's just an uroboros of stupidity. Anyway, now that RFK jr is in, you should celebrate by drinking gallon after gallon of raw milk.

Immigration is a federal matter. Only the federal government has to enforce immigration laws. I think the NY governor has it right: "We expect Pam Bondi's worthless, publicity-driven lawsuit to be a total failure, just like all the others. Let me be clear: New York is not backing down," Hochul said.

^This is BEYOND EVIL and far from "efficient." Like something Hitler would do. 🤮

You really don't have the mental accumen to pull from any other well, do you?

He will not be elected by the time he is leader and he will also not have a seat in government and able to vote or speak on anything official. He will not have been the first (or last) party leader not to have a seat. Having said that, there will not be any sitting of parliament till after the election anyway so, the point and discussion is moot.

Well if he actually does mass deportation then that will greatly spike food prices. If he actually does tarrifs, those will get passed onto higher price of consumer goods. It's very possible that both of these are just lies he told yokels to get elected. Overall his approach to most policies looks like it's going to a brute force blunt instrument style that will lack nuance and expertise and will eventually have far-reaching destabilizing effects. His cabinet is stacked with billionaires and corporate interests who will be given free reign to deregulate everything for their own benefits. It will be a new guilded age for the wealthy and while they are making a big show for the culture war via powerless executive orders, the real test will be the legislative agenda. Last time the only big law they passed was a tax cut for the rich. So far the only legislative goal I've heard is extending that tax cut, and toying with the idea of cutting the child and education tax credits when they do. But really doubt any of the promises he's made to ordinary people will make it to the legislative agenda. Why would they?

It's unbelievable how quickly leftards jump on any random criticism of conservatives and run with it like it's gospel truth, but they still don't think that Joe got Hunter the Burisma job. They have to see a video of Joe doing the job interview himself, and it has to be on CNN. Talk about a bunch of f'ing cultists. I thought that you were American That post would have made sense 2 years ago

The last VP thought that "the cloud" was a physical thing up above us, and her idea of securing the border was opening the border The last POTUS couldn't speak English for three minutes a day anymore because he was so out of it Who the hell quotes Hillary Clinton unironically? She's a dumb, vile, nasty pig with no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

The Cons are revealed for what they are. People realizing the fake and power hungry Poilievre. Mark Carney is the next Prime minister of Canada.

This is true. If the Americans want their national finances brought to order, Trump may well be the only guy willing to do the hard work.

You need to close your hole and take a step back. Trump is exposing a part of the government that 99.9% of us didn't even know existed. That is bad - really bad. You ninnies need to ask yourselves which side is truly trying to f*ck this country. Once you've asked an honest question like that, you'll know that the swamp must be drained, and Trump is the best, if not ONLY, leader to do it.

Was that war in Donbas not started by pro-Russian forces? I'd say that it all started with the Euromaidan coup. While Jacques Baud doesn't really get into the Euromaidan coup itself, he -does- get into its aftermath. Quoting from his article that I've quoted from previously: ** Let’s try to examine the roots of the conflict. It starts with those who for the past eight years have been talking to us about “separatists” or “independence” from the Donbass. It’s wrong. The referendums conducted by the two self-proclaimed republics of Donetsk and Luhansk in May 2014 were not ” independence ” (независимость) referendums , as some unscrupulous journalists claimed , but ” self-determination ” or ” autonomy (самостоятельность). The term “pro-Russian” suggests that Russia was a party to the conflict, which was not the case, and the term “Russian speakers” would have been more honest. Moreover, these referendums were conducted against the advice of Vladimir Putin. In fact, these republics did not seek to separate from Ukraine, but to have a statute of autonomy guaranteeing them the use of the Russian language as an official language. Because the first legislative act of the new government resulting from the overthrow of President Yanukovych, was the abolition, on February 23, 2014, of the Kivalov-Kolesnichenko law of 2012 which made Russian an official language. A bit as if putschists decided that French and Italian would no longer be official languages in Switzerland. This decision causes a storm in the Russian-speaking population. This resulted in fierce repression against the Russian-speaking regions (Odessa, Dnepropetrovsk, Kharkov, Lugansk and Donetsk) which began in February 2014 and led to a militarization of the situation and a few massacres (in Odessa and Mariupol, for the most important). At the end of summer 2014, only the self-proclaimed republics of Donetsk and Lugansk remained. ** Full article: https://scheerpost.com/2022/04/09/former-nato-military-analyst-blows-the-whistle-on-wests-ukraine-invasion-narrative/ Now, I should say one thing, Jacques Baud is mistaken that the initiative by the new government was initially successful. It was actually vetoed by one of the last remaining holdouts from Yanukovych's government, whose name currently escapes me. They did eventually get the job done though, and I suspect those in Odessa and elsewhere saw the writing on the wall and thus their protests at the new government's direction, which, as Mr. Baud mentioned, resulted in fierce oppression. Perhaps the most tragic of these was the massacre at Odessa. Russian historian Evgeny Norin wrote an article on the event that I found very moving, but I know that some people refuse to read anything that's published in a Russian news outlet that's not been banned in Russia, so I'll just quote 2 paragraphs of his article, ending in a punchline: ** Ukrainian society reacted to the events in Odessa in a very peculiar way. Naturally, the majority of the population sympathized with the victims. Flowers would be brought to the Trade Unions building every year on May 2. The public realm and the media, however, were dominated by nationalists. For a few months after the events, social media platforms were overflowing with ‘jokes’ about the ‘Odessa barbecue’, the ‘burning of vatniks’ (a typical Soviet-era wool-padded jacket that became used to refer to Ukrainians espousing pro-Russian views and to Russians themselves), as well as slogans eerily reminiscent of those employed by Nazis about the Jews that they murdered in World War Two. The Ukrainian internet was flooded with pictures of burnt corpses accompanied by derisive comments. Many of the people who took part in the Odessa event soon thereafter ended up in the Donbass, fighting in the volunteer battalions of the Ukrainian army. “All it takes is to kill fifty ‘vatniks’ in every city, and then we shall have peace, then the war will end,” remarked Maksim Mazur, a member of the Aidar Battalion – a statement that was eagerly endorsed by many of those who had attacked people in Odessa. In fact, Ukrainian social media did exactly what is commonly attributed to Russian propaganda. The piles of burnt corpses evoked feelings of horror, but also of rage. May 2014 was a breaking point: volunteers from Russia started to arrive in the breakaway republics en masse and even some men from Western Europe came to fight on their side. Slogans about autonomous status and the need to engage in talks with Kiev gave way to an unwavering resolve and determination to stand and fight to the bitter end. Just a few days after May 2, a Donbass rebel wrote on a destroyed and burned-out Ukrainian infantry fighting vehicle: “This is for Odessa, you bastards.” ** Full article: https://www.rt.com/russia/554860-burned-alive-2014-odessa/

Don't ask difficult questions. They won't answer. This is the remnants of Bidinflation.

For me there was nothing new there. It's critical to remember this guy has no loyalty to our country. He can leave it a flaming dumpster fire and that's fine his family and himself will live elsewhere with the hundreds of millions he'll pocket from what he does and his connections as pm. That's all he cares about

I literally just had to explain it to you. And you voted for the liberal party, with trudeau as the leader, Nice try kid

It was never there. We're not America we don't vote for the prime minister or the like. The local representative is the only person I get to vote for. For god's sake do I actually have to explain how our writing system works to you? Any credibility you ever had on political front just went out the window. In Canada we vote for our local representative. That is the only person you get to vote for. The representatives may belong to a party but it is the party who chooses the prime minister. Or more accurately the house selects the Prime Minister not the voters. You may have noticed that when you last voted in a federal election, assuming you actually did considering how often you point out how pointless it is to do so, let you were only able to vote for the person in your riding. That is the only person you get to elect

Lmao...yall just make shìt up to see how we will react, don't you?

No comments on the probability allies will be reluctant to share intelligence with the US because they think she is a security liability?

John Turner and Mackenzie King both served time as PM without a seat. New party leaders are often without a seat until a by election can be held. They just can’t sit in parliament until they get a seat.

I didn't say that. You don't express doubts. You express a willingness to sacrifice yours and everyone else's prosperity, sanity and safety. The green agenda. The woke agenda. The open borders and soft on crime judiciary.

That becomes a game of chicken fairly easily, with the Liberals talking tough and insulting Trump and Poilievre being portrayed as weak, refusing to 'stand up for' Canada, and too hesitant to criticize the great orange evil.

That's not serious is it? He's clearly waving.

And the leftard illiterati will keep posting in Pidgin English. Buy a comma ffs, you ret4rd. Here, take some of these ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Carney and any other potential liberal leader had best shut up. Dissing Trump will only pi$$ him off more. Trump sees the liberals as democrats and he hates democrats. Hopefully PP will just temper his criticisms and "solutions".

Right now 76% of carbon emissions come from countries with no emission reduction targets or plans. And Bjorn Lomborg has demonstrated fairly obviously with basic math that the costs we are incurring today in a desperate and futile quest to lower our emissions (in the West ONLY) are actually more than the cost of doing nothing will be 75 years from now. The only way to reduce emissions is to do so intelligently through improvements in technology, not these pointless carbon taxes that just make energy more expensive in the West while Asia and the rest of the developing world enthusiastically build coal plants to power the industries we drive offshore.

Oh they will. It will drive up the costs of manufacturing for those using steel and aluminum just for starters. It’s a prediction based on what has happened every other time tariffs have been used in an attempt to manipulate markets, including the last time Trump applied metal tariffs.

His tariffs will make it much worse.

Actually, we have a tenant in our Czech home who is Ukrainian from a western farm town. She goes back to see the family regularly too. Her brother left and she's helped him settle in the city. Din't wanna die I guess. She tells us this, a. They hardly notice this war, where her family lives. b. They don't really care what happens to the Donbas region. Just end this war and let the young men return.

They are when they promise to bring them down.

Stop giving Trump a pass for increasing egg prices.

Egg prices are up 65% since January.

No. I care. So do millions of Canadians. Apparently...you're not one of them.

OMG! I'm so sorry Goddess! I hope she isn't psychologically scarred. This is one of my biggest fears. I know deep down, that if anyone did such a thing to my own daughter, I would seek the perpetrator out and deal with him very decisively. Then... I'd let her husband and brothers have what little would be left of him.

No, he tried to minimize it and then said let's move on and not talk about it further. I've pointed this out many times, whenever he comes across something he doesn't like that he can't refute he comes up with some version of "Why are we even talking about this", And it's a common tactic we see on the left. If it was one time obviously I wouldn't have much of a leg to stand on. If he did it a couple of times a year I really probably wouldn't be able to make much of a statement. But he's fairly chronic and I have pointed it out many times. For a guy who never starts a thread He spends an awful lot of time complaining about what other people are talking about.
