Shame how the continual toss trash and play the victim nonsense has overtaken the entire Tory movement. I don't like it so it's corruption, undemocratic, unethical etc. etc. You want to be ruled by decree where one man can rule say so and it is done, even dissolve Parliament. Then you can whine about that because he's not your man.

Because it takes a lot of training and skill to understand it? This is part of the problem, in our current epistemic crisis, is that people think that opinions are knowledge. Evolution will eliminate people who drink bleach because a big man tells them to. Just FYI.

Well before they go that far they can actually shut down our oil and gas coming in from the states which because of our own laziness and stupidity we are very reliant on the Americans for despite producing enough for ourselves. British Columbia does not get enough gasoline from Alberta and most important from the states, ontario and Quebec oil comes up from a pipeline from the states, So it's kind of an issue

Note the same, persistent adage: anyone who disagrees with MAGA, doesn't fold and then, praise and cower to it, is wrong and is a target for attacks. This is exactly how it happened in every rising dictatorship: take the obstacles out, one by one. And when nothing is left standing in the path of the tyranny, why would it stop, where?

Forget his bad opinions on the subject, the fact that Democrats, including the Biden administration, went beyond that and actually excluded Tesla over politics shows you how awful they are.

If Americans watch passively the demise of judicial independence, they can as well say farewell to their democracy, flawed and imperfect as it was. There are no such miracles in the entire universe. This may just be the final call.

Wow. There was never any real doubt that after what the democrats did to him trump was going to look at using lawfare to pay them back in kind. But damn, that's one hell of a shot across their bow to let him know they're coming. I suspect that one's going to see the inside of a courthouse. But there's probably more than one of them having a sleepless night tonight

Depending on what you mean by wealth precisely or more accurately how you're measuring it the very first time in history where we've had a Canadian government where our wealth has substantially shrunk over an extended time is right now. Prior to that our GDP per capita always raised except for short periods of severe financial instability such as the great depression or the great recession, but even then it was usually very short-lived and began to grow again immediately. This is the first time in our history where GDP per capita has substantially shrunk over a matter of years without a financial crisis to explain it. And never as it ever fallen so many months consecutively on average over a Length of time. Canadians are actually less wealthy right now than they have been buying a substantial amount and the loss is sustained without a financial crisis to explain it and that trend appears to be accelerating. So yes it absolutely is a thing right now, but that is the very first time in our history that I'm aware of

So like you want me to cite the scientific evidence that mercury poisoning and breathing in coal soot is bad for human health? Otherwise you’ll claim without evidence that the nonpartisan scientific consensus that’s stood for decades is fraudulent? Note that nobody in the Trump administration even bothered to challenge the science behind most of these regulations which have stood for decades, they simply stated that they interfere with business But here is one for you that you should be able to follow America’s clean air rules boost health and the economy − here’s what EPA’s new deregulation plans ignore …What Zeldin didn’t say is that the economic and health benefits from decades of federal clean air regulations have far outweighed their costs. Some estimates suggest every $1 spent meeting clean air rules has returned $10 in health and economic benefits. How far America has come, because of regulations In the early 1970s, thick smog blanketed American cities and acid rain stripped forests bare from the Northeast to the Midwest. Air pollution wasn’t just a nuisance – it was a public health emergency. But in the decades since, the United States has engineered one of the most successful environmental turnarounds in history. Thanks to stronger air quality regulations, pollution levels have plummeted, preventing hundreds of thousands of deaths annually. And despite early predictions that these regulations would cripple the economy, the opposite has proven true: The U.S. economy more than doubled in size while pollution fell, showing that clean air and economic growth can – and do – go hand in hand. The numbers are eye-popping. An Environmental Protection Agency analysis of the first 20 years of the Clean Air Act, from 1970 to 1990, found the economic benefits of the regulations were about 42 times greater than the costs. The EPA later estimated that the cost of air quality regulations in the U.S. would be about US$65 billion in 2020, and the benefits, primarily in improved health and increased worker productivity, would be around $2 trillion. Other studies have found similar benefits. That’s a return of more than 30 to 1, making clean air one of the best investments the country has ever made. Science-based regulations even the playing field The turning point came with the passage of the Clean Air Act of 1970, which put in place strict rules on pollutants from industry, vehicles and power plants. These rules targeted key culprits: lead, ozone, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter – substances that contribute to asthma, heart disease and premature deaths. An example was the removal of lead, which can harm the brain and other organs, from gasoline. That single change resulted in far lower levels of leadin people’s blood, including a 70% drop in U.S. children’s blood-lead levels. Air Quality regulations lowered the amount of lead being used in gasoline, which also resulted in rapidly declining lead concentrations in the average American between 1976-1980. This shows us how effective regulations can be at reducing public health risks to people.USEPA/Environmental Criteria and Assessment Office (1986) The results have been extraordinary. Since 1980, emissions of six major air pollutants have dropped by 78%, even as the U.S. economy has more than doubled in size. Cities that were once notorious for their thick, choking smog – such as Los Angeles, Houston and Pittsburgh – now see far cleaner air, while lakes and forests devastated by acid rain in the Northeast have rebounded. Comparison of growth areas and declining emissions, 1970-2023.EPA And most importantly, lives have been saved. The Clean Air Act requires the EPA to periodically estimate the costs and benefits of air quality regulations. In the most recent estimate, released in 2011, the EPA projected that air quality improvements would prevent over 230,000 premature deaths in 2020. That means fewer heart attacks, fewer emergency room visits for asthma, and more years of healthy life for millions of Americans. The economic payoff Critics of air quality regulations have long arguedthat the regulations are too expensive for businesses and consumers. But the data tells a very different story. EPA studies have confirmed that clean air regulations improve air quality over time. Other studies have shown that the health benefits greatly outweigh the costs. That pays off for the economy. Fewer illnesses mean lower health care costs, and healthier workers mean higher productivity and fewer missed workdays. The EPA estimated that for every $1 spent on meeting air quality regulations, the United States received $9 in benefits. A separate study by the non-partisan National Bureau of Economic Research in 2024 estimated that each $1 spent on air pollution regulation brought the U.S. economy at least $10 in benefits. And when considering the long-term impact on human health and climate stability, the return is even greater.… https://theconversation.com/americas-clean-air-rules-boost-health-and-the-economy-heres-what-epas-new-deregulation-plans-ignore-251203

Point to the law or Constitutional Amendment that provides for e-signature.

The link dropped off for some reason.

Tell you what. I'll send some kook book money if you share the receipt of donating an equal amount to the ACLU.

You actually need a cite to know the climate changes...interesting...🤔

Apologize? They didn't make a mistake, they did their jobs. Since when does the DOJ apologize for doing their job? Like the basic farking function of the job? Why would we want or expect them to? That's absurd.

Absolutely. Also it provides a lot of jobs and uses a lot of steel and addresses a lot of other things currently being impacted by tariffs. And it lets Quebec sell power to alberta instead of the us which means if we have to "Cut them off' there's still a customer. And it lets us sell oil to other customers outside of the us and canada. It's something we really need to do.

😂 Wasn't Trump calling for her imprisonment at every rally?

No, you can’t just apply something that happens in elections to some other situation just because you don’t like the governing party. I guess you could say that you’d like it to apply, but then, why should we care what you or some op-ed thinks? That’s a political question. We will have an opportunity to select MPs soon enough. To say the new PM shouldn’t govern at all is asinine. Why do you want Trump to win this fight with Canada?

It can only apply during an election. Oh yes, the PM is the real PM ...until an election is held. Can you try any harder to be stupider??? LOL Suck it up, you were wrong and you failed...EPICALLY !!

Bottom line is your opinion isn't worth shit. You made a claim and did not know what you were talking about. You have no facts, just BS. As I said before, your BS is backing up in your bowels and gone to your head turning your blue eyes brown. You make shit up and think most will gloss it over. You have become the bible thumpin confox.

There's nothing disrespectful in pointing out outrageous rudeness and disrespect to the host country way beyond any notions of civility and politeness. It's unacceptable. It's gross. It cannot be tolerated in any self-respecting civilized home. And if one just couldn't get it, they are nothing more than yet another product of protracted consumption of maga mental sh*t-feed. Just look at them: it's not good for you, cannot be. Yes it surely will destroy your mind, integrity and self-respect. They are the walking proof. And it was the whole purpose, of course.

Because he can only get to four without taking his mittens off. It's about control dude. They want to start off by saying you are completely unqualified to understand anything that they put in front of you and you must only take the word of the scientists or other experts in the field because you're too stupid to figure it out yourself. Then they follow it up with you're too stupid to select your own experts! Only the experts that they pick because they are smart enough to do it are relevant and all other experts are not really experts they're just russians/ traitors/ crackpots/ deniers/ homophobes/ misogynists/ people who like pineapple on pizza. This is about control. Michael wants the ability to dismiss anything you say and any thought you have by simply waving his hand and claiming you're not qualified without even having to look at your argument. You don't have to be an expert to read and you don't have to be an expert to understand the vast majority of the substance of the scientific papers that are out there. There may be one element or another such as a methodology that you don't fully understand but you can at least understand the conclusion that they came to based on that methodology and then do a little research to see whether that methodology is respected or not or the problems that can or can't exist with it. But the way the left is they would have you believe that if you come upon a vehicle accident where a car has smashed into a telephone pole and won't start and offer the opinion that the pole may have damaged the engine, michael and his kind will come along and say you're not an automotive engineer and therefore can't have an opinion.

well that doesn't really seem to be what they're suggesting at all. The problem is of course that the source is extremely biased and is presenting information in a way that confirms its own bias to its readers. So it's kind of hard to know exactly what the Speaker was exactly asked and in what context. Virtually none of his plan is being followed and yet he claims this is succeeded Beyond his wildest dreams. That seems incongruous. I suspect if we were to analyze the full flow of the interview it would become apparent that they are taking a little bit of license with what he said. I'm sure there are things that trump is doing that this guy approves of. Doge may not have been part of the 2025 plan specifically but obviously it reflects some of the elements of it and I'm sure that those who liked the 2025 plan also like doge. But that doesn't mean that trump is following the 2025 plan at all If the left is going to move forward and stand a chance of winning in the next election they have to drop all of this conspiracy nonsense, all of the Trump is Hitler nonsense, all of that crap. To their time trying to say "SEE? SEE? WE WEREN'T TECHNICALLY LIARS!". The secret is to stop lying and start focusing on truths and easily verified facts instead of baseless accusations followed by grossly inflated accusations. I know exactly what I would be doing to set up for success right now and trump is making it easy, but the democrats are still living in the past and using the same arguments that lost them the election to try and refight the election and that's just going to turn people off

The problem for them is that every day between now and when this eventually goes to court biden loses a little more of his memory and cognitive ability and becomes a less and less reliable witness. Basically people pulled him aside and said "We don't bring legal actions against our political opponents in this country unless the charges are a hell of a lot more serious. That's what they do in banana republics" So trump relented and gave up like two days after he was elected. Then they pulled the crap that they pulled on h I'm pretty sure that not attacking your political opponents with legal cases is pretty much out the window at this point

Do you not have a search engine?

No. That's the point it really doesn't. Is the ban on abortion? Where are all of the other things mentioned? There's a couple of elements in it that sort of are the same subject as what trump is doing but their plan is nothing like what trump is doing

Why would this apply? We’re not in an election. It also doesn’t mean a complete cessation of governance. Why do you want Trump to have his way with Canada? Just so the Libs could look bad? No one in that ridiculous opinion piece you copied is an expert on governance except the last line of the article. And that expert didn’t say anything about caretaker convention. https://www.canada.ca/en/financial-consumer-agency/corporate/transparency/transition-binders/2019-federal-election.html Caretaker convention is during ELECTIONS. Says so in b&w.

Yes he is the PM of Canada. Yes he can speak on behalf of all Canadians. There has been n the past and can be in the future too. What the F is "caretake convention"??? You had better become informed of what you are saying before you have take your foot out of your mouth (again). It is applicable during an election only. As the PM, he went to Europe to gather support for Canada. Who in the world even knows who PP is? He has only left the country to go on vacation. In the world political system, he is a zero, an unknown, and has no associations with anyone or anything. Not a very good place to be when Canada is in a crisis.

Carney has not been elected yet to represent Canadians. Therefore he has no mandate to be representing Canadians. He is a lame duck Liberal choice for PM and does not yet have the confidence of the House of Commons. The caretake convention says he should not be doing anything significant on behalf of Canadians. That is just how democracy works.

Congress and the courts are the checks to the executive. One has proved to be a willing accomplice or afraid of opposing him and the other is being bypassed. There is nothing else left.

Then your post and comment is moot. You responded to "no such claim that our country should be utterly impenetrable...." and your post has nothing to do with that. You spoke of drugs leaving, not entering canada.

Dude he's just being an 1diot trying to get a rise out of you. I'm the first to admit he's dumber than a stump but he's not that dumb

Thanks for admitting you're as clueless as ever kiddo

Of course not. If this was accepted science we would have heard about it.

C02 has never preceeded warming. It has always been methane. The methane is released from methane hydrate that are released when the Earth's orbit changes and causes the tectonic plates to shift and release magma causing methane hydrate to be released and turned into methane. Methane is the leading greenhouse gas. Further, this happens when the earth's orbit is closer to the sun for longer periods of time. So you have a stronger concentration of energy and a better form of retention. That leads to a much warmer planet. He put a lot of that in the video. But then he lied. He lied by using data relativism. The planet has cooling mechanisms that kick in and cause, what should be a steady period of warming, to become a Rollercoaster climb. He's comparing 100ya to today because 100ya was a low point in the climb. Go back 200 years and the change is about 0.2 deg C.

Good god Flyer you're talking with people claiming the guy's some kind of criminal because he won't immediately commit suicide just to please them. The Wit brothers Half, Dim, and Nit think he should go without meeting Trump or Cdn allies and instead go to the GG and call an election for the sole reason that they want him to. Mad as hatters and blaming someone else, as usual. Quite obvious they're scared PP's ineptness will cost them by the day. Someone's already noticed him spewing out Tory ad dollars to America's FB and YouTube, even making brand new Singh's only in it for the pension ads because the can't address the real issues of the moment. Unable to grasp Canadians don't want a f*cking MiniMe who's always 2 months late and a dollar short.

Trudeau should have stepped down in Oct. They knew all about the tariffs and the craziness from Trump. It's been nothing but lib incompetence that has got us to this point. The country needs a election now. No more stalling.

I seem to recall that a former Conservative leader having dual citizenship was an issue (Canada/US) with some in the media, but apparently Carney having also carrying UK and Irish citizenship is now an asset?

Well to be fair, Carney did say he was European. “I am European, actually,” he told a moderator in a World Economic Forum session posted to social media. “I am an Irish citizen. Speaking as a European …” https://torontosun.com/news/national/warmington-mark-carney-has-spoken-as-a-european-but-will-he-speak-as-canadas-pm

Interesting

So you want me to recite the 31 pieces of legislation to you as if you could understand it even though you can’t and then you want me to explain all of the complex scientific research behind that legislation as if you could understand that even though you can’t And if I don’t do that then you claim it PROVES the non-partisan pollution protections implemented over decades of Republican and Democratic administrations is unnecessary Do I have that correct? “My air and water are too clean and aren’t toxic enough!” …Said nobody ever

You look for reasons to be offended 😔

You can't read? My satire went over your head!

If the corrupt Canada-hating Pcs win the next election, it will be our last. PeePee will immediately bow down to Trump and beg him to have mercy on us and make us the 51St. There will be no more Canada, period! Just showing you how ridiculous your apocalyptic warnings are. If PeePee wins, we'll be ok. If Carney wins, we'll be ok. And oh yeah, you brag about being wealthy and things are so good for you, so just how horrible were the last ten years under the Liberals? Are you better off than you were ten years ago? I'm not very wealthy but I'm better off now.

Totally Canadian made. He could have held up a Labatts, but they're not Canadian owned. Not as simple as you make it out. And as for political mis-steps, this pales in comparison to PeePee's advocating for the Canadian gov'ts embracing Crypto, a few days before it crashed. That showed a an extreme lack of judgement and forward thinking.

I don't use "ignore". I find it childish and cowardly.
