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.

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.

Back to the topic. Gabbard seems like an OK choice. We shall have to see how she does in the upcoming years.

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.

Okay....one if you actually mean it Two if it's mentioned as a religious saying Forty nine if you are a left wing argumentized jumped up never come down with a cherry on top.

It may trigger some kind of conflict if "blessed" doesn't have pronouns.

BTW, Good Morning and Happy Valentine's Day, everyone. 🥰

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

As his name suggests, Carney will institute a merry go round of Whack-A-Mole and Ghost Protocols,

They aren't being silenced.

That's not censorship. That's prioritization. Another great example of the left using the emotion of the word rather than the definition.

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.

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.

It's a massive overreaction from the left as usual. This is only about reducing waste which is something all Americans should be happy about. I wish we had a Canadian version of DOGE.

Not a real thing. They are limiting the ideas that people are allowed to express because they include certain words or support certain ideas: that's censorship. Its' funny how here you're defining censorship in an extremely specific and narrow way, while elsewhere you're defining "concealing" in an extremely broad way. You define words according to how a given definition serves your ideology, which i'm pretty sure is exactly what you accuse others of doing in your dumbass rules.

LOL you're killing me! Oh! well i guess that counts. That didn't take long at all.

The government not allowing certain words to be used is the literal definition of censorship you putz.

They wanted that feather in their own cap - before RFK Jr got in - not in his cap, so that he could make a point of asking Americans why toxic red food dye was in kids' cereals, like Froot Loops, etc, after it was banned in other countries as a known carcinogen.

in all fairness he could have nominated AOC for this post and the wolves would have came calling. Its what happens when folks are so purely partisan. Food additives, not a bad idea. Will not go into detail but a lot of sodas and sweet items have extra ingredients such as Calcium DiSodium EDTA that accelerate tooth decay.

Yeah, if only he hadn't invaded Russia.

Sounds like your buddy is full of shit. Get him to explain, in detail, how the nutrition standards for schools set down by the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 prevented him from serving grilled chicken salads.

LMAO, don't be retarded. The point is to create fear and intimidate political opponents regardless of whether they have cause. That's what fascists do. Oh yeah? How? Deploy smoke bombs? Dress up in disguises? Hide out on Turkish soil perhaps? Or maybe it was as it was reported in your own link:

So you think it should be illegal to inform other people of their legal rights? Pretty fashy, but unsurprising.

1. I'm not in the field, so I defer to the experts. Psychology and mental health medicine and general medicine is working through this as we type. 2. Not about the 5 year old, then but a 17 year old ? How do you know that contemporary approach to gender issues, from the medical community, is incorrect ? You seem to say so. 3. I didn't say you must. 4. Whether or not these things are happening doesn't necessarily bode poorly for what professionals and the common response might be. If people are overreacting to children making random statements about their gender, and getting medical people to make ill-considered responses then that could be abuse, and error and so on. It doesn't mean that the overall approach is sound, you need more evidence of what's happening. For that reason, I trust medical institutions for the most part. 5. By 17 they are for sure. This is a kind of slippery slope discussion: 3 years old, no but 17 yes... so what about 13. We may be arriving at an agreement point which is there's no one-size-fits-all solution. I would definitely say it's wrong to "affirm" a 3-year old in any formal sense, or to punish them for saying something like that at 3 also. They're 3. Dr. Erica Anderson (a trans woman) explained the process at length to Jesse Singal in his podcast and that's where I first heard about the process.

Why would I, I'm not your wife.

It wouldn't surprise me if someone shoots him. If I were Zelinsky right now...I'd be packing.

Zelensky needs to be voted out - that piece of shit just may cause WWIII.

Maybe watch this: You're repeating whatever you heard on CBC: "PP has no plans" "Slogans are not enough" Polievre has laid out very specific plans, he's doing interviews all over. They're not being covered by CBC and CTV, and he's likely not interviewing with them after that massive lie they cobbled together recently, which surprisingly, got someone fired. He just laid out a very specific plan to secure our North. You haven't noticed that every time he says what he's going to do about an issue, the Libs steal it? Did you think they came up with the idea of "Axing the Tax" on their own? HAHAHAHHAHA!

Our country and system of government is a joke. Parliament is completely shut down, so that one political party can decide on who its next leader is going to be. Imagine Republicans shutting down congress while they decide on a leader. It’s so absurd.

That's not true.

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 $$.

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?

Musk didn’t stand in any election. If he wants to play at politician now, let him suffer the market consequences of disapproval outside the MAGA mob.

I don't think funding research into what brand of rum goes with which brand of radio is a good way to spend taxpayer money. Do you?

Gotta be a place for Carrot Top in this administration. Wait, no. He's too smart.

"This Administration – led by the same President who delivered a medical miracle with Project Warp Speed" Mcconnell praising Trump for developing the Covid vaccine. Woketards!

I want to thank you for the informative post. All we can do is present the facts, and I hope you continue to do so.

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

Lol, but you accept Trump's? At least mine are based on fact. You are a victim of perception bias While this does make decision-making easier, it also leads to a lot of established assumptions, beliefs, or attitudes that are known as unconscious biases. These biases twist our perception with overly simplistic and inaccurate assumptions about who an individual is Perception bias: How to recognize and avoid it it is based on fact

The transition to a dictatorship is well underway.

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....

You're the guy who thought Bashar al Assad was "a true patriot."

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.

“Cutting government spending” is such an abstract concept that does not make plain what really is at risk. What are the concrete effects of Trump’s and Musk’s vandalism on USAID? People are dying because funding for their oxygen has been cut off Nearly $500 million in food could go to waste Global health will be severely affected: Programs for nutrition, hygiene, toilets and access to clean water (which have a massive impact on TB and diarrheal diseases) have been impacted TB clinics have been put at risk HIV care, treatment and prevention to vulnerable children, have been suspended Crucial international clinical drug trials have their funds frozen It will take a massive, concentrated effort to repair the damage done to the US global reputation. Yes, China and Russia are watching.

This was retarded when you said it in the other thread and its retarded here too. I've never heard a single left wing person say they don't want farm animals vaccinated against communicable diseases. But anyway you guys are gutting the CDC, NIH and now HHS so enjoy you should be happy being a big fan of viruses. I bet you think that's a real video by a real person lol. I hope when the next pandemic arrives (and it will) you're one of the first to go.

Cabinet full of crackpots. These people should be shilling reverse mortgages and supplements on late night TV not running a country.

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.

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.

It was a mistake to put Israel into Palestine. A better move would be to move Israel to Oregon and allow the Palestinians to reclaim their land. Oregon has a similar climate and the neighbours would be more welcoming.

What? Digital Chinese Lanterns?
