Because unfortunately the WHO is heavily influenced by China. It pushed an unproven narrative about the origins of Covid and gaslighted anyone who questioned this narrative, including respected virologists. Questioning the narrative was painted as racist or anti-science. The gain of function research taking place, supported by the CDC, was reckless. It was irresponsible for Chinese virologists with links to the CPC to be permitted to work in a Canadian virus lab and transport viruses to China. That the lab on the Chinese end was in Wuhan is too coincidental to ignore. During the Obama years there was an exercise in preparing for a pandemic. It’s hard not to at least surmise that researchers and governments were taking big risks and assuming that they could manage the fallout of an actual pandemic, whether or not it was due to a lab leak. We know that the vaccines became irrelevant later in the pandemic, but the Canadian government maintained its vax mandate and restrictions until the public had simply had enough. The convoy was the activist manifestation of that growing public sentiment. The government imposed quasi martial law in an attempt to stomp out opposition, but they couldn’t maintain it through the Senate, so they rescinded the Emergencies Act. Trudeau really mismanaged the pandemic response and stoked division, as he did with Truth and Reconciliation and the unproven claims of native burial sites which caused a serious blow to Canada’s international image and patriotism. The country became weaker and ripe for Trump’s coercion. That the Liberals are still in office, I believe, speaks to a compromised, ideologically-captured mainstream Canadian press. This is due at least in part to government funding of media. It’s also due to a Liberal media bias. The Conservatives haven’t had a prayer in Canada of getting elected in a decade. The public is taught to fear them.

A few years ago I wouldn't have thought it possible to garner enough support for complete and total madness to form a quorum. It was nothing more than an interesting theory... I was always the one saying noooooo, stop it, they'll never fall for it. Looking back, I failed to acknowledge the power of a unified government, security force, and media cooperative and I'm glad I never made any bets on it. The other thing I failed to acknowledge was the level of investment (in a theory) people will maintain over time. Once fully invested, they rarely admit they were wrong. You can see that right here on the forum... and it doesn't matter a bit what side of the issue you're on either. It's on full display. I never expected that open discussion between peers in an environment of easy access to information would create impenetrable stove pipes; or that those stove pipes could generate as much name calling and hatred as they are clearly capable of doing. Personally, the NS wolf hoax was a turning point for me and anyone unfamiliar with it should google it.... a small scale effort, completely accidental release and shutdown almost immediately, but it had exponentially larger effects than anyone could have anticipated.... funny and sad at the same time. Sort of like a Monty Python skit. I still laugh at the thought of it, especially the email stream that starts with "please tell me this wasn't you guys." I can't see history being kind when future generations study the collective thought process behind efforts like defunding police or clawing shotguns out of the hands of rural duck hunters thinking it will curb drug fuelled ethnic gang violence in Toronto. Show people (meaning true believers) government statistics and they will still maintain course to Crazy Island, absolutely convinced that it's the place to be. Even those whose resolve has flagged a bit will say things like: "well, we had to do something." My fav though is that even knowing that a leaky lab in China was doing GOF research on the self same virus that caused a global pandemic, and that several (four I think) lab workers were hospitalized with covid just prior to a massive spread, that people refused to see the connection and were convinced it was a species jump. Not just persuaded, but utterly supportive of de-platforming, firing and harassing renowned virologists for suggesting we should pause and just think about it for a second. Nope.... LOL, it was a Raccoon Dog from a wet market two blocks away. Almost as funny as the wolf hoax IMO. My goodness, if anyone with a time machine had offered me a bet i(n advance of the pandemic happening), I'd have lost the farm and then some. As a PS, here's a link to the CBC report on the wolf thingy. I couldn't resist reading it again. Some of the comments at the end are worth a glance too: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/leaked-wolf-letter-nova-scotia-1.7093141

Does it with every post. And actually believes it makes them credible. The warning today's righties can't understand: "If you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao / You ain't gonna make it with anyone anyhow"

Some people are so absorbed with conspiracy theory they'll never grasp the FACT she was charged and convicted of MISCHIEF, specifically aiding the protest to become a public nuisance. They're also so absorbed they've deluded themselves into believing that at the time the tiny minority of the public supported the conv1diots was the majority. And continue to lie to this day that it was so. What else can you think of anyone that thinks the ulterior motive of all the World's Health Agencies is something other than protecting public health?

How are you this dumb? There is literally no source for this information other than some random post on Facebook idi0ts like you are mindlessly copying and pasting. That is not even a real picture.

Finally! Canada getting rid of the useless Kingston Class MCDV ships! Looking forward to what the multi-mission Corvettes will bring to the table although AFAIK that project is just an exploration and hasn’t gotten the full green light to advance to procurement and we might see them replaced by drones and other capabilities instead RCN to Pay Off Kingston-class Maritime Coastal Defence Vessels In the fall of 2025, the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) will begin paying off the Kingston-class Maritime Coastal Defence Vessels (MCDVs). The term “paying off” refers to the British practice of paying a crew their wages once a ship has completed its voyage. In the RCN, the tradition continues with the term paying off referring to the formal ceremony where the naval jack, ensign, and commissioning pennant are hauled down, the crew departs a ship for the last time, and the ship is then no longer referred to as His Majesty’s Canadian Ship (HMCS). This fall, eight of the twelve Kingston-class ships will be paid off during formal naval ceremonies to recognize and celebrate their long and distinguished service. These ceremonies will take place in Halifax for HMC Ships Shawinigan, Summerside, Goose Bay, Glace Bay and Kingston. Ceremonies in Esquimalt, B.C. will be held for HMC Ships Saskatoon, Whitehorse and Brandon. Canadian Multi-mission Corvette project has been created by the Department of Defence (DND) to replace the Royal Canadian Navy’s existing 12 Kingston-class MCDVs that are approaching 30 years of service. MCDVs are multi-role minor war vessels with a primary mission of coastal surveillance and patrol including general naval operations and exercises, search and rescue, law enforcement, resource protection and fisheries patrols. READ: Team Vigilance article to get an update on their offering to the Canadian government and learn more about the Vigilance-class vessel. READ: Feature Interview with Vice-Admiral Angus Topshee for updates regarding the CMC Project. The RCN’s four remaining operational Kingston-class vessels will consolidate under Canadian Fleet Atlantic in Halifax, N.S. As such, HMCS Moncton will remain based in Halifax, HMC Ships Yellowknife and Edmonton recently transferred to the east coast, and HMCS Nanaimo will transit to Halifax later this year. This will support current operational commitments, and efficient maintenance and crewing of the remaining Kingston-class vessels and the broader RCN fleet. While looking forward to the introduction of new, modern warships to its fleet, the RCN has a robust plan in place to facilitate this transition, while maintaining excellence in training and operational capability. There is no loss of capability for the RCN as a result of the divestment of the Kingston-class – their missions and tasks will be redistributed to other existing ships and assets, and taken on by new platforms, capabilities and systems being introduced by the RCN. https://canadiandefencereview.com/royal-canadian-navy-to-pay-off-kingston-class-vessels/

And she is not charged with that.

Obama had 8 years to prosecute. Biden had 4. Yet neither did. Just more left wing malicious rumors. We know theyve run this same disgusting playbook against religious leaders who don't kowtow to left wing politics and conservative politicians. Vile stuff

As your thread title suggests . . . where does Tamara Lich fit into your scattered thoughts?

On the charge of mischief. For convincing people to block roads with trucks for a peaceful protest. Would 6 months or a fine + community service and probation be fair? Sure. But 7 years is just disgusting politically motivation in this racist 2-tier justice system. Anyone who disagrees is politically motivated and a hypocrite because none of them including the Crown would be seeking 7 years if this were an indigenous or Black Lives Matter peaceful protest. Did the Crown seek 7 years for the indigenous people when they blocked railway lines with trucks for weeks in 2020 to protest pipelines? No, they didn't even charge anyone: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Canadian_pipeline_and_railway_protests#

Didn't think i would be saying anything good about the air force, but here it is, He was not my favorite CDS, but he did accept the position and did what he could for those serving, what we don't know is what he had to sacrifice while CDS.......thats needs to be recognized... I think we all know just how much power our politicians have here, CDS is a public service servant, and does what he is told. thats drilled into every service person, mission first , and obey all legal orders, I think like any promotion or position you do what you can to make little improvements to the service... In the CDS case he would have been told what his job was and what was the arcs of fire, or what he could do and could not do, and i think the could not do was a much longer list...

Smith. You go, girl. Phk u and your green bullshit, commie. 🤮

Sure I do.

So PP, how you gonna handle this as well as her demand to separate and to buy American??? A real Albertan would be on her side??? A real Canadian would not. Who ya gonna be???

Donald Trump is the man of the year. Trump has Canada by the balls. Trump is the only one that can save Canada from the clutches and wrecking ball of the WEF Marxist globalist ilk that right now pretty much own and control Canada. After all, Carnage is their shill man in Ottawa. I too once loved Canada but Canada is no more. But thanks to the Marxist lieberals in Ottawa, for decades now, they have done a fantastic job of destroying Canada already. Canada cannot be saved or have any progress to look forward too. Canada should be a wealthy country and Canadians should be filthy rich. But instead, Canada has become woke and broke. I have no problem with Alberta leaving Canada or joining America. God bless America. Canada RIP. 😇

He filled my BINGO card AGAIN! 🤡

Bahaha. Yeah Biden was a creepy pedo I agree. Not nearly as much of a dictator though. Come make me bend the knee b*tch.

"People who dislike Trump, a corrupt fascist pedophile who literally attempted a coup" have TDS". 😂

Your deification of Trump say's all there is to say... Yep, I'm the guy who told the world about his association with Epstein and now the media is running with it. So much fun!

Fact Check Time: Crime Rates in Canada By Steve Ward The Conservative Party of Canada and its unelected leader, former MP Pierre Poilievre, have been insisting for years that Canada's crime rate is rising at an alarming pace. In fact, one of Poilevre'e key three-word campaign policy slogans focused on this issue. During April's federal election Poilievre urged Canadians to "Stop The Crime" by voting Conservative. Right-wing parties often resort to a tough on crime agenda to address a purported surge in criminal activity. The actual statistics are typically ignored or manipulated in order to manufacture a crisis and whip people into a frenzy to frighten them into voting for the Conservatives who will 'solve' the crime issue and keep everyone safe. The party's approach toward criminality is also harsh and exceedingly punitive with longer jail sentences, tougher thresholds to earn parole, and little emphasis on rehabilitation or assisting former inmates in navigating various obstacles as they try to re-adjust to living in society. Conservative policies also tend to stigmatize people convicted of an offense for years after they have paid their fine and/or served their time. For example, the Harper Govenment extended the wait time to apply for a record suspension (referred to as a pardon in pre-Harper years) from three to five years. The additional two years of wait time does not deter crime. Instead, this shame-based approach only delays people from beng able to clear their record and get on wih their lives. So, do the actual facts support Poilievre's rants about a continuous and alarming rise in the number of criminal acts beng committed in Canadian society? The chart below uses official Statistics Canada data to track the number of violent, property, and other crimes committed by year from 1990-2023. I have not included data from each year during this thirty-three year period. Instead, overall trends can be identified easily enough using data from the following five years as a representative sample: 1990, 2000, 2010, 2020, and 2023. 1990-2023 Police Reported Crime Rate per 100,000 Population (Statistics Canada) 1990 Violent Crimes: 973 Property Crimes: 5,612 Other Crimes: 2,900 Total Crimes: 9,485 2000 Violent Crimes: 996 Property Crimes: 4,081 Other Crimes: 2,534 Total Crimes: 7,610 2010 Violent Crimes: 907 Property Crimes: 2,802 Other Crimes: 2,451 Total Crimes: 6,160 2020 Violent Crimes: 851 Property Crimes: 2,274 Other Crimes: 2,214 Total Crimes: 5,339 2023 Violent Crimes: 967 Property Crimes: 2,546 Other Crimes: 2,329 Total Crimes: 5,843 Comparative Data 2023 compared to 1990 Violent Crimes: -0.04% Property Crimes: -55% Other Crimes: -20% Total Crimes: -38% 2023 compared to 2000 Violent Crimes: -23% Property Crimes: -43% Other Crimes: -8% Total Crimes: -23% 2023 compared to 2010 Violent Crimes: +6% Property Crimes: -10% Other Crimes: -5% Total Crimes: -5% 2023 compared to 2020 Violent Crimes: +12% Property Crimes: +11% Other Crimes: +5% Total Crimes: +9% During the thirty-three year period between 1990 and 2023, property crimes had the largest decrease at 55% while the total number of crimes dropped 38%. During the twenty-three year period between 2000 and 2023, all types of crime decreased with the largest drop being 43% in property crimes. The total number of crimes declined by 23%. During the thirteen year period between 2010 and 2023, only violent crimes saw a 6% increase and the other types of crime declined, with the largest drop being 10% in property crimes. The total number of crimes decreased by 5%. There was an increase in all types of crime during the three-year period between 2020 and 2023 while the total number of crimes rose by 9%. It should be noted that this period included the COVID-19 pandemic. Canada's population totalled 27.7 million people in 1990 compared to 40.1 million in 2023, an increase of 12.4 million people or 31%. Despite population growth, the number of total crimes reported still dropped 38% during this thirty-three year period. This statistic serves to counter another right-wing contention, namely that increased immigration results in more criminal activity. Crime rates per 100,000 people peaked during the 1990s and then decreased over subsequent years. Crime rates did rise marginally between 2020-2023 and violent crimes increased gradually after 2010. However, 2023's total number of crimes was still 38% below 1990 levels, 23% below 2000 levels and 5% less than 2010 levels. Based on this data, it doesn't seem like we are facing a 'Crime Crisis.' Things were significantly more problematic on this front three decades ago. The very small rise in crimes since 2020 can possibly be attributed to the chaos and upheaval of the current decade (e.g. pandemic, steep increase in the cost of apartment rentals, overloaded health care system, lack of access to mental health supports and medications, etc.) A tough on crime focus is not essential at the present time. It would be more advantageous to allocate our finite resources to proactively strengthen our social programs, expand pharmacare, fix the health care system, enhance mental health supports, implement a living wage, replace ODSP and OW with a Basic Income Guarantee and build more affordable housing. If we invest in these positive supports, there will be less need in the future for significant investments in the justice system and policing. Better social programs and supports result in improved social outcomes and fewer people committing criminal acts.

And so now his administration is suddenly refusing to release the files as they had originally promised and Republicans have prematurely recessed Congress until September right after promising not to, just to prevent a vote forcing the release of those files.

Leftoids are convinced that their fantasies are everyone else's reality.

Projecting is another symptom of TDS. You poor sick f*cks do it consistently.

Trump Deification Syndrome has become a real problem for many, but seems to subside over time as more is known about him.

How you do it amazes me. Most would have given up long ago....

The pandemic response was at least as alarming as the pandemic itself in my opinion. I think of Jack Nicholson’s character in Anger Management doing things to make Adam Sandler’s character extremely angry then offering to help him manage the anger. The whole pandemic episode looks like a reckless experiment that probably caused the pandemic then gave us a fascistic response to keep us safe. Even asking questions about the origins of COVID and whether or not our restrictions and mandates were always appropriate made you a right wing conspiracy theorist nut job. It was a gaslighting of anyone who demonstrated critical thinking. Most of the public and many in government were simply trying to improve the situation, believing the authorities that they trusted. I also think that many of the public did start questioning and pushing back. Putting down the Convoy was an important humiliation for the Liberal government, because they wanted to make it clear who’s in charge. They more or less won the war of public narratives. Most of the same people are still running the show. It’s a sad commentary on how powerless, unquestioning , and fearful the public can be. The result isn’t good for democracy. Public trust of government and public institutions has declined for a reason.

Again, show where I said that. For someone who claims to be so smart, you have to resort to lying a lot. You're a very small insecure man trying to puff himself up. It ain't working!

Everybody thinks they can beat Canada right up until they try

Most of your reply as usual, is nonsense... On the same kick as your friend cdnfool... besides rescinding DST, what else did he 'cave' to?

Smith met with Trump when Trudeau was PM. She appears to have faith in Carney.

Is that how you console yourself? looked at their favorability polls lately? Jun 30, 2025 — According to the latest numbers from Nanos Research, Carney is at 52.1 per cent, and Poilievre at 23.2 per cent. ... almost as attractive as carney....Hahahahahahahahahashahahaha!

Thanks. I see that quote applies to you too.

Thanks. You describe yourself better than I could. Still waiting on those quotes - you remember, when you LIED about what I said.

Moral victories are for losers

Trump Derangement Syndrome is a serious mental illness. I would advise you to go see a therapist, but the therapist will probably have TDS as well.

Look at your first post, numbnuts. The thread title was accurate, the OP contains video of the tribal chiefs all sitting around voicing their displeasure at Carney's treatment of them, and you fire back with a snotty insult and a few lukewarm musings from some attendees which make no headway against Cdn's claims. Sure, some chiefs see him as "ok", and are "cautiously optimistic", or say that "maybe he's interested in working with them", and that's as far to that side as the pendulum swings. At the other side they are going much further, openly expressing that Carney's processes are illegitimate. FYI that's not a lukewarm sentiment. They're saying that Carney's words and actions are a dealbreaker for them. Here's the spectrum: Terrific is over here...............................middling is here.................................Outraged is here. The 'happiest' indigenous chiefs are here...^^^^^^, some of them are here ^^^^^^^ The red part is a pretty accurate indication of where they all stand imo. No one was fully outraged, but indignation doesn't quite go far enough to describe their displeasure. No one was what you'd call 'happy'. Here are your own words: "But as usual, you cherry pick and misconstrue the situation to fit your warped desires. And as usual, your extreme partisanship makes you a DUMBASS!!!" Guess what, dummy? His post basically aligned with the CBC's own sentiments. That's not from Fox News or Rebel, Barqy, that video is from the LPOC-owned, brown-nosing CBC's video. Those guys can taste Carney's lunch at 12:05, and that's what they think. Would you want your friends and relatives to find out that you disagreed with the CBC, Barqy? Do you wanna be called a racist? Do you wanna be called a misogynist? Better be careful. That's not a cult that accepts dissent of any kind.

You can't read and edit? Look, you can get free literacy tutelage. Don't be ashamed to ask, no one will judge you! Uh uh..HAhahahahahahahaha... oh, I just couldn't type with a straight face. Of course we'll judge you, Loser!

I can't get over these cultists. The law is the law, except for Donald Trump. Donald Trump has immunity but no one else. One can see how Hitler crept into power. Lackeys adored him, Joe Average ignored him and we all paid the price in the end. Rinse and repeat.

I'm claiming that you made up something that you're now claiming Barq said. The thread's two pages. Here, I'll remind you what you came up with in that muddled little head of yours: That was 100% totally made-up, batshit fantasy on your part. As I said, you're too freaking dense to debate anyone here, so you retreat into fantasy land and invent imaginary positions and statements that nobody said and then debate against them yourself. Now that you've been called out on it for the thousandth time, there's only one way for this to go. You'll either scurry away and stop responding (very rare), or you'll rant and plead and insist over pages and pages of useless taunting and insults that your make-believe is in fact real, but you won't (can't) quote it because of....reasons. 🤣👌

You may not like it but this is what peak male performance looks like.

To answer the question, I think the American civil war saved Canada from conquest and the threat stayed dormant for a long time thereafter. The consensus until recently was that the productivity of individual workers was of far greater significance to a nation’s prosperity than simply more territory. Whether Trumpism will endure and put Canada, Greenland and Lord knows what else on the menu will be for the future to know.

Moonbox noticed that too. How many others?

Not really true. When you eliminate the very poor american Healthcare is actually better than ours, we have far less economic freedom and a lower medium income Here's just one example, the median income. In Canada it is 43k a year Canadian, or about 31.5 American Canada: annual median income| Statista In the states it's 37.6 Personal income in the United States - Wikipedia A more direct comparison would be the average wage In Canada: The average annual salary in Canada is $67,282, according to Dundas Life. average wage in canada - Google Search That's in canadian dollars btw, a bout 49,354.11 usd In the US : Average US Salary (2025) The national average salary is $63,795. average wage in US - Google Search So the average worker in the us makes roughly 14 thousand more dollars than the average worker in Canada. And pays less taxes. And housing is cheaper. ETC etc. Sorry, you got your facts wrong

English your second or third language? In my first post: The Globe and Mail July 18, 2025 First Nations leaders split on progress made after meeting with Carney So you couldn't quote what you accused me of saying because I DIDN'T SAY IT! You seem to think no one else can read and see who the liar is. So you're delusional as well. So sad. That's alright. We all vastly overestimated your intelligence at some point here.

Sex trafficking is a federal crime. Why didnt Biden or Obama pursue in their 12 years in power and now when we learn they are treasonous cowards all the sudden they pull this bullshit?

At this moment in time I'm not sure even your ass belongs to you. At this moment it seems to be slipping a little out of your grasp. We'll see what the future brings Also, please stop thinking about my ass. You're making it weird

FTFY

It appears the Carney is pushing for new transport means to be built nation wide for commerce. This is not a typical Liberal position to take. Should he succeed, there will be a lot of upset natives squaking about their special relationship with the land. But new hi-ways, railways and pipelines would be good for Canada. So I will swallow my pride and hope the Carney succeeds where Pixie-Dust failed.
