Why is this relevant? Basically you are arguing that he is an heretical Christian or that his Christianity is not genuine. So what? I really don't know enough about what the guy espouses. I never heard of him before last week. Why does this even come into play? His right to free speech is not based on whether or not he is what you or I consider to be a genuine Christian or not.2 points

Implicit in your question is the standard version of "oh YA, well what about this" fallacy. You aren't asking because you want to know, you're simply making a pronouncement you think will stump everyone. Most of the time people who actually do know the answer recognize the fallacy for what it is and just let you run with it. That's what I'll be doing in about 2 minutes BTW. The bible is actually consistent in both testaments about homosexuality being a sin. The difference is that the New Testament offers the hope of redemption and salvation through the redeeming power of Jesus. Simple eh? Even if your only reason for reading the Bible is to trip up Christians and receive applause from the likes of Herb and Flyer, I'd still say it's a good thing, maybe you'll learn something. I'm guessing it won't be humility though...2 points

VIA: "Think Freedom" on X No matter how you feel about the TRUCKER CONVOY — Tamara Lich’s treatment should concern every Canadian. You may disagree with the convoy. You may rightly recognize that some individuals involved held extreme or distasteful views. You might not like Tamara Lich. And yes, she has been charged—but not convicted—of counselling mischief. That distinction matters. But you should still be asking whether Tamara Lich has been treated fairly by Canada’s justice system. Why does it feel like the process itself has become the punishment? Here’s what we know: Tamara Lich was arrested in 2022 for counselling mischief — a non-violent charge. She spent weeks in jail, was denied bail multiple times, and has been under house arrest for over 3.5 years. Her trial is still ongoing. She has no prior criminal record and is not a flight risk. For what? A non-violent charge: counselling mischief. People who’ve known Lich personally describe her not as a political mastermind, but as a passionate, ordinary Canadian—Metis, five-foot-one, a mother, deeply concerned about the country's direction. Perhaps politically naïve, but sincere. And this is what should worry all Canadians—left, right, or otherwise. If you believe in freedom of expression, if you believe protests should be judged fairly regardless of their politics, and if you think the justice system should be impartial—not influenced by ideology or pressure—then you should be paying attention. People charged with far more serious violent crimes are routinely granted bail. Yet here we are: a woman with no criminal record, who didn’t own a truck or honk a horn, has become entangled in a multi-year legal battle that many say appears politically charged. At the height of the convoy, Tamara Lich started a GoFundMe campaign that raised over $10 million before it was frozen. Regardless of your views on the convoy, this kind of grassroots fundraising caught the nation's attention—and likely the government. The funds were later restrained by court order and remain largely frozen due to an ongoing civil class action lawsuit. Supporters argue that Lich’s “real crime” was becoming a powerful symbol—a viral figure representing a sentiment many Canadians, particularly in the West, felt but didn’t see reflected in Ottawa. When the process becomes the punishment, precedent is set. No matter your politics, if your voice ever becomes “too loud” or “too inconvenient,” could this happen to you?2 points

Canada is one of the traditionally Christian Western countries where the government and media have suppressed their own traditions and peoples. Christianity is under siege in Canada. In a country with a falling birth rate, only complete fools would promote LGBTQ lifestyles and anti-family policies like unlimited abortion up to the day of birth, free birth control, and permissive assisted suicide laws. Canada has moved in the wrong direction for at least the last decade. We have a 1.3 birth rate. The U.S. has a better 1.6 birth rate. The only way Canada maintains itself now is through mass immigration, which is eroding the traditional cultures and peoples. This is what stupid people do.2 points

Of course. There is nothing novel here. Trumps claims against DEI are not based on speech, but the illegal implimentations of it that is rooted in racism and discrimination and the FCC has always been in the business of "viewpoint diversity" because they are the public airways. Right or wrong, this is nothing new with Trump tryint to censor anyone or anything and the usual vague language of the FCC and their existence. Which is why I specifically asked for what was being censored here. There isn't anything.2 points

Sure. That's why we should have welcomed them, instead we directed them to Palestine - the manner in which we did that as Canadians was really nothing less than an act of geopolitical vandalism. We effectively showed refugees how to colonize and dispossess indigenous people of their territories.2 points

Like many blanket pronouncements here it must be fun cherrypicking versus of the Bible out of context and thinking everyone just accepts it all face value. This particular quote comes at the end of the parable of 10 minas. In the context you've chosen, It refers to the rejection of Jesus by the Jews of the day and inserts a young noble into the story line in his stead. The parable has multiple facets but in addition to the obvious, it was also addressed to those Jews who seemed devout on the surface but whose devotion was to religious doctrine and not to God... he did it in the form of a parable that would make sense to the people of the time and place. The last portion of it reflects a common outcome (of the time) when a conquering king was defied by the population (or parts of it) that he came to rule over. It was analogous (for the times) as opposed to being the call to arms that (I perceive) you are trying to make it sound like. For those so inclined, cherry picking versus out of the Koran is far more entertaining... but my guess is that you, Herb and Flyer won't be doing that anytime soon.2 points

So your saying freedom of speech only gets applied in public spaces, and is restricted in parks....you should read the constitution and the freedom of speech para....no where does it say anyone has to agree to your parks rules as long as they obey the freedom of speech rules written into the constitution....those rules apply to every where in Canada...unless it is a private property...did those palestinian protesters get permits to protest outside of the church....do they share the same regards for the rules as you listed for your parks...last time i heard palestinians in Gaza were throwing LGBTQ people off roofs to see if they could fly....sounds like double standard to me...2 points

What a drama laced, biased, racial post LOL. Israel was a UN imposed state...prior to that, it was all Palestine....the Arabs have as right to be angry. Not picking sides...As I said..."Really do not care what goes on in the Middle East. It has been a constant problem since State of Israel was thrust upon the world. Iran could nuke the entire region and it would not be missed." Blow em up and let them start again and see who gets the spoils of war2 points

I asked Grok for the signs of an authoritarian government. Which apply to Canada? Which to the US right now? Suppression of Political Opposition: Opposition parties are banned, harassed, or marginalized. Political rivals are imprisoned, exiled, or silenced through intimidation. Elections, if held, are manipulated to ensure the ruling party’s victory (e.g., voter suppression, ballot stuffing, or media control). Restriction of Free Speech and Press: Censorship of media outlets, including state control or shutdown of independent news organizations. Journalists face harassment, imprisonment, or violence for critical reporting. Internet access may be restricted, with heavy surveillance of online activity. Erosion of Civil Liberties: Limits on freedom of assembly, protest, or association. Use of excessive force by police or military to suppress demonstrations. Widespread surveillance of citizens, often justified as "national security." Centralized Control and Weakened Checks and Balances: Concentration of power in the hands of a single leader or small group. Judiciary and legislative branches are undermined, controlled, or packed with loyalists. Constitutional changes to extend term limits or grant unchecked powers to the leader. Propaganda and State-Controlled Narratives: Government dominates public discourse through state-run media or propaganda campaigns. Alternative viewpoints are discredited as "fake news" or "foreign interference." Cult of personality around the leader, portraying them as infallible or indispensable. Use of Fear and Repression: Secret police or paramilitary groups enforce loyalty and punish dissent. Arbitrary arrests, torture, or disappearances of perceived enemies. Policies stoke fear of external or internal "threats" to justify authoritarian measures. Economic Control and Cronyism: State control over key industries, often benefiting loyalists or elites. Widespread corruption, with resources funneled to regime supporters. Economic policies prioritize regime stability over public welfare. Manipulation of National Identity: Exploitation of nationalism, religion, or cultural identity to unify support and demonize opponents. Marginalization or persecution of minority groups as scapegoats. Historical revisionism to glorify the regime or its leader. Weak Rule of Law: Laws are applied selectively, favoring regime allies while targeting opponents. Legal protections for individuals are ignored or dismantled. Security forces operate with impunity, often above the law. Control Over Education and Culture: Curricula rewritten to align with regime ideology. Cultural institutions (e.g., arts, museums) are co-opted to serve state narratives. Intellectuals and academics face censorship or persecution for challenging the regime.1 point

Or maybe... just maybe... there are a lot of folks on here that run away. It is just a fact that this is not the first time I have engaged with folks like TreeBeard, and he ran away just like he did just over a week ago when he was trying to argue there is some doctrinal position in Christianity that Christians can't support deportations. There is no end to the stupidity folks like you will try to engage in with twisting scripture I bother plenty of times... which is why I accurately point out the folks running away when I do. So, what exactly is your argument here about scripture you want me to respond to? Give it your best go.1 point

He probably doesn't. He has it up there so often that there must be a reason why he prefers it that way. it appears to be a choice. Oh look i was right He never mentioned carney in any of that. He said the Canadian governments did what it was told. You're the one who brought up carney Once again you can't address what was actually said, all you can do is post something that wasn't said and argue with that I can only assume that you've decorated the inside of your colon And find it comfortable and spacious and therefore don't want to remove your head from it1 point

That's not what whatabout fallacy is at all. You're right that it's a stumping and frustrating for biblical purists, but that's because they never actually have an answer that doesn't undermine their dogmatic quoting from scripture. If any of it is subject to modern interpretation, then all of it is, which means it's far from the trump-card that Bible-thumpers wish it to be on matters of Rights and Law.1 point

I honestly don't recall seeing him make a single argument in this entire form. He'll make the occasional statement but then if challenged as you say he fires off a cloud of ink and swims away petrified. I honestly at this point do not believe he knows how to make an argument. I have no idea why he's here considering he can't actually have a discussion and all he's doing is making himself look like a tool1 point

Why, did you want me to do it in crayon this time? What specifically confused you? Were the words too big? Do you need me to do it one sentence at a time so you can get your head around it?

You're only interested in your partisan hopes, and oblivious to facts..... and are a failure in any way you choose to look at it. Canadian crude shipments to China have experienced a remarkable, continuing surge, a volume increase that outpaces price volatility and signals a genuine shift in trade patterns. Notably, TMX has helped narrow the longstanding price discount US refineries pay for Canadian oil, boosting producer revenues and enabling Canadian crude to fetch higher prices in global markets, including in China. Broader geopolitical factors have also strengthened Canada’s appeal as a reliable, competitively priced alternative supplier for China. Marking the first full year of TMX operations, this report analyzes these trends and also assesses operational challenges facing the pipeline’s export capacity, the economic implications of global oil market volatility, and the broader political implications for Canada regarding diversification. We conclude that TMX is not only reshaping Canada’s energy export landscape but providing an opportunity for the country to enhance its diplomatic profile and relevance in the Asia-Pacific. STRONG AND SUSTAINED CANADIAN CRUDE OIL EXPORTS TO CHINA Since May 2024, Canadian oil exports to China have grown consistently. China's critical need for energy imports and strategic efforts to diversify its own supplier base have positioned Canada as a desirable new supplier. After an adjustment period from May to September 2024, shipments surged from October 2024 onwards, with average monthly export value jumping 123% from C$247 million to C$511 million between May-September 2024 and October 2024-March 2025.1 point

Do reciprocal tariffs help? Trump is imposing massive tax hikes on Americans. Should we do the same to Canadians? We would be better off not taking a deal at this point. Cusma gives us a cushion for the time being. And Trump doesn't honour deals anyway. BTW Trump hasn't gotten any deals yet, just MOUs to work towards deals, which all look terrible for all parties. Oh, and the steel and aluminum 50% tariffs are still on everybody.1 point

If you're going to demand that everyone have a permit then you have to make sure that everybody gets a permit. If the permit is issued based on whether or not the state likes the person or approves of the concert, Then it's no longer a permit. At that point it's just authoritarian control. Is the guy says something illegal arrest him. Otherwise he gets to talk. We just had people across the country calling for the death of Canada a public gatherings, I dare say a guy who says abortion might not be a great thing is something we're going to survive1 point

I lived right there when it was happening. Burnaby Council did not say a word to object and an awful lot of North Burnaby residents were all for them closing. By the latter 1970s they were no longer THE main employer and even the tiny amount of smell (compared to the 1960s) they occasionally produced became so many resident's "first world problem". Gas was delivered from Alberta through the pipeline to the storage tanks that were all that remained, the crude went south and to Chevron (now Parkland) who's main product is jet fuel. Overall demand in the Lower Mainland means much gas & diesel comes from Washington refineries. Hence the high prices. Had PetroCanada been govt owned, there would've been some public input on that decision too,1 point
