  1. A lot of research will be impacted by this, and it's naive to think otherwise. An oppressive atmosphere has been created, and it goes against what I thought the US stood for.

  2. Says it right out loud. He will use the emergency powers to "build the economy" to take on the Americans. Let me remind everyone that at that time the libs will thoroughly control the senate. This guy is a freaking disaster. Canada will do HORRIBLY under this guy. And one 'use' he might pull is to declare that the election is being put off until 2026. That would be a very real possibility. He could theoretically do longer. That would allow him to get into power and arrange all kinds of goodies for his friends and scam the system for a year and a half, then if he loses he still walks away with lots of cash and some contacts he can use to make money later. The liberals continue to be the worst party in canadian history and people dont' see it.

  4. There's absolutely no comparison. The not withstanding clause was always intended to be used to deal with legislation where the government determines the charter created an unintended consequence, that's why it was put in there. HE'll be using it precisely as it was intended to be. It's been used many many times. That's the reason it's there. It's used in very specific cases which must be spelled out in detail, and it goes along with a bill through the usual process of scruitiny in both the house and the senate. The emergency powers act and the other emergency powers granted to the gov't are entirely different and we've already seen this gov't use them once unlawfully. You can't challenge them in court before they're used as you could a bill passing through parlaiment. You can't get an injunction to suspend their implementation pending a court challenge. So basically you're fine with the gov't setting aside the rights of Canadians at large for political gain as long as its the liberals because the notwithstanding clause exists. That's just pathetic.

  8. They haven't been silenced. They're just not being funded by A specific group, they are free to raise their own money from other groups and do the research and publish the results. They're saying we as a customer do not want to buy products that are like this. There is a ton of research they probably aren't interested in funding and never have been This would be like saying you are censoring Disney plus because you don't pay for a Disney Plus Membership. It's not censorship

  12. The last percentage of Liberal supporters in Canada MUST wake up and get informed on what is going on in Canada. Please. Please seek out interviews with Sam Cooper (Daniela Cambone has several good interviews with him, and other channels have also covered his investigation.) Read his book, "Willful Blindness". Chinese and Mexican cartels have taken over Canada and the Liberal party is heavily involved. This is fentanyl making and distribution and money laundering through Canada banks and casinos. The Liberal party knows. Trump knows. Polievre knows. If he "gets his security clearance" he has to sign an NDA that includes jail time if he ever talks about foreign interference. It's why he won't sign on to Trudeau's new security clearances. Once the Cons are elected, he will have access to all that information AND will be able to do something about it. This is why the Liberal party and the Lib-paid-for media have been hammering on security clearance. They NEED Polievre to sign it so he cannot ever do anything about what's been going on. You MUST inform yourselves of this issue, because if you continue to support THE MOST corrupt government in Canadian history, we are f&*ked. Wake. Up. A joint US-Canada organized crime unit will not bode well for Trudeau. I suspect this is what Trump really is after. He wants to know how deep the corruption runs and exactly how dangerous the China-owned Canadian government is to US interests. This is just the beginning. The jokes about annexing Canada have a real backbone and the China element is at the core of it. This is only going to snowball into something much bigger if Canada doesn't address this.

  13. This would not have to be a forced removal of people from the Gaza. The west would in effect be purchasing the Gaza. This would go a long way to ending the conflict in that area. I don't see any other way to stop the fighting originating in the Gaza strip. 1. It could be done by offering financial incentives. Every Palestinian who moves could be paid a certain amount of money. The money could come from the U.S., Canada, other countries, and the U.N. 2. The money could also involve spending billions of dollars to build apartments, and create jobs in the countries they settle in. 3. It seems Hamas cannot be eliminated in the present situation. However, moving them by offering financial incentive may provide a solution. This would mean it would not be compulsory but would be in effect purchasing the Gaza strip. So far nobody in the news media has mentioned the idea of paying billions of dollars to the Palestinians to make it feasible. Part of the payments would have to be used to build apartments and create jobs. All of the money would not be given to the Palestinians directly. Some money could be paid directly to the ones who actually move. Part of the money would have to be retained and only used for the purpose of building new apartments, infrastructure, creating jobs, and communities in the destination countries. At present Jordan and Egypt oppose moving them to their countries. But the financial benefits have not been negotiated. That is the missing key to this. Perhaps if there was billions of dollars on the table, they would be willing to take in the Palestinians. But there would need to be a way to ensure the money was used only for the relocation and building of the homes, infrastructure, and jobs for the Palestinians. Also, the payments to the ones who relocated would have to be ensured somehow. The money could not be just handed over to the countries they moved into.

  14. This is how censorship works in Trump's America. A list of about 100 words has been compiled (see the complete list at this link) – words that are flagged in papers submitted to the National Science Foundation for funding. If any of the words appear, the research will not be funded. Examples of offending words: Disability Diversity Equality Female (but not male) Gender Inclusivity Minority Racial/racism Trauma Victim Women (but not men)

You can get X illness and most likely survive but the consequences of 20+ years of poor diet choices... much bigger impact on one's health.

  25. This is how short-sighted the people who cheered on Trudeau invoking the Act against the truckers, are. Once a gov't sees how little it takes and how easy it is to invoke the Act and how many Canadians supported them using it, they will now see it as a tool they can use for anything they want. Invoking the Act was deemed unconstitutional by the courts, and the Liberal gov't is currently appealing that ruling. With your tax $$.

  27. Mark Carney will march us straight into an American disaster. I can certainly see how his election could become the galvanizing event that triggers our annexation. Will people like yourself be pleading with Trump to come and save and liberate you from the horrors of Carney's globalist communist rule? After that Elon will come and dismantle our institutions and rid our state of all its corruption and waste presumably starting with the most visible sign of our leftist radical woke Marxist WEFtist dictatorship...our health system. It'll be off to a sports arena and interrogation for us evil lefties I guess. Or... We could just vote for PP and he'll make it all go away?

  35. He absolutely can. I would remind you that the chief electoral officer right now is directly connected to the liberals. And by tradition the governor general agrees with the PM unless it is blatantly obvious that there is no emergency, but everyone is going to recognize trump's threat as being a legitimate emergency And it won't be hard to get the NDP on board considering how they're polling right now. And if the house supports it it's all over Do not kid yourself. If he wants to he can. But what's just as concerning is that he may intend to use the powers right away so for some horrible state on people or industry before an election. Just like we saw with covid, this government is not afraid to abuse its powers to compel people to do things that would otherwise be unconstitutional. I mean at the end of the day he clearly said he intended to use emergency powers. He must intend to use it for something and literally nothing he could use it for is good for Canada

  37. Carney is just another left wing liberal deep state WEF globalist traitor to Canada. He has no love for Canada or Canadians just like the dictator in Ottawa who never had any love for Canada. A vote for this imbecile will be asking for more woke and continue to go broke. Kevin O'Leary is a businessman and Kevin knows more about what needs to be done to fix Canada up from it's current dilemma. Carney is just another left wing liberal fool who will never do what really needs to be done to try and make Canada great again. Want more government, more taxes and less freedom? Well, Carney is the lefty for you. 👎

  39. The federal bureaucracy is less than 1% political patronage positions. Most are merit-based. And one thing trump has never yet learned is that the great superpower of the exectuve branch vs Congress is in the depth of professional expertise housed within the hundreds of agencies he oversees. Congress does not have thousands of policy experts and must rely on the executive branch for many details of policy-making. And just because he's cutting people and ending agencies by exective action doesn't mean he's eliminating the laws that those agencies were charged with enforcing. Propaganda is so effective. Billionaires paying millionaires to convince lowly schlubs that the billionaires and corporations are the good guys and that poor people and immigrants are the bad guys. Seeing grown adults debase themselves parroting the propaganda is the saddest indictment of humanity's failed capacity to learn. Of course it is. The EOs were largely theatrics. There is only so much policymaking that trump can do by just f*cking around within the bureaucracy with Elon musk without actually changing the laws. Making a law is hard and requires deftness and collaborate leadership that trump shows no evidence of possessing. It's the president's de facto job to lead legislative initiatives. The clock is ticking. He's got two years to get some laws passed before republicans likely lose complete control of Congress. Riiight. Well your sophistry and wishful thinking notwithstanding, most people aren't going to find that believable. But I do notice how you're not disagreeing with my actual point. Well, for example his rhetoric about sealing the border, mass deportations, lowering food prices, tax cuts for workers, protect medicare and social security.

  40. How many times do you need to be told to not believe Trump and Musk. They lie. Wasting money? Yeah, on things like providing oxygen to people who will die without it, providing food to starving people (currently, there’s $500 million worth of food that could go to waste because of the USAID pause), programs for nutrition, hygiene, toilets and access to clean water (which have a massive impact on TB and diarrheal diseases), TB clinics, HIV care, treatment and prevention to vulnerable children, international clinical drug trials … the list goes on and on. But you go on there! You own the Libs, while people die. It’s worth noting that the US is not the biggest giver to foreign aid as a percent of Gross National Income: Norway = 1.09% Sweden = 0.91% Germany = 0.79% Denmark = 0.74% UK = 0.58% France = 0.5% Canada = 0.38% US = 0.24%

  41. It is a start, but we should have more than one air force base in the Arctic, we need to have boots on the ground, Rangers are the best you can have in regards to survival in artic conditions, but there is a need for fighting troops that can patrol, and act in arctic conditions... and we need more than 4 ice breakers capable of arctic ice...2 will be armed....2 will not be....again it's a start.. but once you take into account breakdowns , regular maintenance, length of patrols, can't keep those crews out there all year.... Canada has regulated arctic defence to our reserves, which kind of tells us how important our artic defence is and if our regular force boys are starving for manpower and equipment you can just imagine how bad off our reserves are...Canada need to get serious about the arctic, and provide regular force troops ( army, air force, and navy)with serious training in arctic conditions..Right now NATO QRF force for any arctic force or operation is the US and UK, note no mention of Canada sad really....

  45. We often see this with regards to this issue from the left. They both in equal amounts demand That they are acting in the interests of the children safety but also don't want any regulation that protects children safety. At the same time they want to pretend they are including the families wow simultaneously insisting that families should have no say. And meanwhile they insist that sex and gender are the same thing, except that sex and gender are also not the same thing depending on what we're discussing and then sex and gender are not actually a thing at all followed by male and female are the same thing but we shouldn't call a female male a male because it's not the same thing. It's like they live in a weird world where everything can be two things at once. Basically they're Schrodinger's twat.

  46. Canada, under the Liberal left/NDP, is more Socialist, progressive, woke, authoritarian and Marxist. That would bother Trump, but I don't think it would keep him up at night. The border has been wide open under Trudeau all along. Liberal, NDP are very soft on crime. Catch and release the norm and light sentences for murder are often common. Early parole is common. Parole of serious offenders has resulted in more victims and killings by murderers. People are sentenced according to their racial background. FNs get lighter or no jail time. We have carbon taxes which lower the standard of living of all Canadians. The rebates don't make up for it and are paid on a scale according to income. They don't fully rebate the people who paid lots of carbon taxes and people are not rebated according to what they paid in carbon taxes. It is a tax grab. We have higher taxes in Canada to pay for all the programs including giving away billions of dollars to the rest of the world. About one third the price of gas in B.C. is taxes. We have the highest gas prices in north America. Auto insurance is also very high. Our public health care system is a disaster and millions in Canada do not have a family doctor. Waiting times in emergency rooms are outrageous. Thousands of people die on waiting lists. So much for Socialized medicine in Canada. Canada has ignored its military responsibilities for decades, which is also a left wing, pacifist scheme. Canada's resource industry is heavily regulated which discourages investment and jobs and pushes the price of everything up. New pipelines are banned in Canada. Selling natural gas to Europe and much of the world is prohibited under Trudeau. It takes ten or fifteen years for a mining project to get approved. Canada gave FNs billions of dollars and control over much of resource developement which is like shooting one's self in the foot. It is hard to build homes in Canada's cities with all the regulations, extra fees and red tape. Another Socialist/Marxist folly.
