Add to this doubling housing, doubling homelessness and food bank use.

Do you think tattoos should be illegal? I’m trying to figure out why you would post this in the federal politics section.

Pierre did a great interview with CTV Atlantic yesterday.

Precrime! Someone call Tom Cruise! Oh, wait, he's already on it. He knew.

No Shady, we all know Trump didn't do that he's merely the President of the USA that threatens to make things worse for us. Another gross error is our dollar is actually UP not 69c and wasn't the first time it tanked like that. Remember Mulroney, a Conservative? Or that every Cdn govt has made efforts to keep the dollar low as a trade advantage and that often worked too well? But we're all aware Trump is a useless steaming pile of shit who's gone out of his way to act like Canada's Public Enemy #1. Something PP should comprehend and not try to emulate.

How American of you. More concerned about the shooter;s politics than the fact they walked into a school with guns.

Rumor is that he is trans. Let's take a beat and wait for the reports to settle on reality. There is a safe assumption that the shooter is mentally ill. Normal people don't do this.

3 American blokes to convert Greenlanders to America. What an exciting time. The age of Trump has brought about fierce competition from Greenland to Alberta and Saskatchewan for the 51st spot. Who will get it first!?

https://www.mediamatters.org/climate-deniers/spreading-climate-misinformation-fast-becoming-shortcut-popularity-across-right For starters , he isn't a climate scientist, he is a geologist. Unfortunately the right is making a scientific issue part of their culture war agains things like DEI and wokeism which have nothing to do with science. But that is what the new right does.

As soon as Trump announced he was going to run again and put himself back in the public eye, this was going to be the Liberals line of attack. Trump is the ultimate boogeyman, and it wouldn't matter who won leadership of the CPC, they were going to be called Trumpy.

We're talking about the context you've framed here, you said Harper apologized and the Parliamentary record clearly shows he didn't. You said he apologized for something then not now. If you're saying he apologized to Canadians somewhere else later on, where did he do that, and what did he apologize for? No, it's clear your definition for lie come from the same dictionary your definition of apology does.

And maybe...just maybe...an honest discussion would suffice? You know...sans all the hyperbole and wild assumptions... Fossil fuels are the base of the global economy. Deal with the issue with the respect it deserves, instead of sh1tting on it at every turn. We can work on different sources and use what we have at the same time. At least I can...

'Alaska the Eleventh'

Not true. There are shootings in Toronto every day. Any one of those perpetrators could walk into a school, but they don't. Anyone that owns a legal hunting rifle could walk into a Canadian school and shoot, but they don't. If you go back to the 50s, 60s, 70s etc, school shootings rarely happened. The culture has changed, that's the biggest issue.

If Democrats rose up and started shooting National Guard troops because Trump is using the military like a dictator, what do you think would happen? Allowing everyone the right to own firearms doesn't mean they can change anything a government does. All the 2nd amendment has done was make the US the only industrialized nation that has schools where someone shooting kids is a realistic possibility.

I dont think Poilievre emulates trump. He emulates common sense. But ya...you did have to try that one again eh?

The rumor is that his is the shooter showing off his arsenal before he attacked. Everyone should notice multiple stylized swastikas, lots of kill Trump, a "6 million wasn't enough" (referring to the Holocaust), Israel must die and some other crazy stuff. If this is the guy, the people around him need to be held accountable for not reporting this behavior. How could you not see this coming? Ray Stevens could see this coming.

Well, we like to hold our mentally ill people up as role models.

In most developed nations, mentally ill people don't have access to firearms.

What do you mean by where? Glacial retreat is accelerating almost everywhere, particularly in the Arctic. this is well documented, not conjecture. The Antarctic may have gained ice for a couple of years but that doesn't reverse a trend that is decades long. Deniers go on about forest management but if our forest management policies haven't changed, why are fires so much more severe? Deniers will latch on anything to avoid reality. I have grand kids, I don't want to believe we may be approaching a tipping point either but I'm not stupid enough to think that just denying something will keep it from happening.

Keeping income trusts was a key campaign promise. He knew as well as anyone the state of Canada's finances, they're open to anyone to look at all the time. Mr. Harper: "... once again, this government will not apologize for trying to protect the interests of individuals and a tax system that makes big business pay its fair share." Conclusions: One, Harper and other leaders of the Conservative Party very clearly and repeatedly, orally and in writing, promised Canadians that they would not tax income trusts. Two, Harper's defence of the huge trust tax involved a lie when he denied that that his party had promised not to tax income trusts. Three, the PM made no substantive response to any of the questions posed to him. Instead, he attacked the Liberal Party and made false statements about its position on the taxation of corporations. Four, Harper's reversal of his promise and his defence of it are exactly this type of behaviour that leads citizens have such a poor opinion of politicians and accord them such a low level of trust (below that of car salespersons).

Alaska . . . Eleventh province.

No, they have only been wrong about the timing, what they forecast is happening.

Your clown won't be around forever. Your country is in as much sh!t as mine.

So the solution is to elect politicians who have no investments so there is no potential conflict of interest? Again, Poilievre holds investments in Brookfield, big 6 banks, Enbridge, CPKC rail, etc.... No conflict of interest there, or only because Carney holds more, and is a 'lib'?

Man created God in his own image. That's more like it.

It's what makes the violent places stand out more.

Another false statement. The smart tariffs that Canadians put on American goods those were targeted at specific products meant to have maximum impact on USA and minimum impact on Canadians. Tariffs o items that Canadians could easily substitute or do without such as Kentucky bourbon and Florida OJ. And it dis have am effect. So yes heroic and smart and minimal impact on prices. And at the end of the day Canada wants ZERO Tariffs, our tariffs are only retaliatory. By contrast Trump had dumb tariffs, applied across-the board to every import from every country regardless of whether Americans can substitute it or do without. Many the things he’s tariffing are things Americans and American industries need like potash, cobalt, coffee and bananas and so kn that USA can’t ever produce. So yes, they will increase prices and hurt more than they help. I’ll remind you that the steel tariffs under Trump 1.0 cost tens of thousands of American manufacturing jobs, exponentially more than they created in the steel industry because steel prices went through the roof and manufacturers couldn’t afford it.

I thought that was what I was pointing out. I am trying to support the case for investment. I'm sure there will be enough tired excuses as to why not.

That's the thing with progressive is their standards are so ultra-progressive that they are constantly shifting by as much as 180° overnight. What's saving the planet one day, and is therefor sacrosanct and cannot be questioned by conservatives, like a carbon tax for example, can suddenly become bad when a LPOC candidate says so, and removing it can be heroic. If you're super-progressive, then you can consider months and months of protests with murder and looting and arson to be mostly peaceful and 100% good, but then a 3-hr riot on a different day can be compared to Pearl Harbour and 9/11, or a protest with bouncy castles and not a single broken window or punch thrown can be considered violent. "Bread lines are good, Komrade."

The delay is so Brookfield will have time to get their ducks in a row.

In his mind, he's always right...even when he contradicts himself.

"... see the clown draw really STUPID conclusions with DRIVEL." - have you noticed that you're arguing with yourself yet?

You defend Joe Biden's banana republic style persecution of enemies like Trump. Don't talk to us about ethics.

well in fairness it's got to be hard getting those pants over the extra heavy duty depends undergarments

They would rather wreck Canada with “their team” in charge than have a stronger and better Canada with someone they dislike personally as PM. It’s counter productive and childish thinking, but that’s libtards in a nutshell.

Yeah fires start naturally, by lightning, etc... But people make the risk and likelihood MUCH worse! Concerns about woods travel during drought: People starting fires is only one concern. People getting stranded in woods by fire, requiring a lot of resources for extraction People starting fires while all fire-fighting resoiurces are already over-strained Fishermen in small boats on lakes preventing water bombers from reloading Complete id!ots with drones or fireworks (It happens) Keeping id!ots from going in "to watch' (It happens) Etc.... But God forbid you right wing Snowflakes should have one of your privileges temporarily restricted!

Well, I see you have given up. Better lock yourself up in your basement, it’s the only way to be sure.

Got another quote for ya, maybe you'll recognize it: "FAKE MEMES are the fantasies of CHILDREN."

Canada will be on the correct side of history, regardless of what it takes.

You believe a man can give birth and a dress makes a guy a woman. You believe a ZEF is not human. Don't talk to me about science.

Antarctica is the fifth-largest continent, covering 5.4 million square miles (14 million square km). The average winter temperature in Antarctica is −81°F (−63°C) and has reached −128.6°F (−89.2°C). About 98% of the Antarctic continent is covered by glacial ice that averages about 1.2 miles (1.9 km) in thickness. The total volume of ice in Antarctica is about 6.4 million cubic miles (26.5 million cubic km), comprising about 90% of the world's ice and about 70% of the world's fresh water. The average height of the ice sheet is approximately 10,000 ft above sea level. At its thickest point, the ice is 15,700 ft (4776 m) thick. The East Antarctic Ice Sheet is by far the biggest ice sheet, making up 92% of the total glacial ice, while the West Antarctic Ice Sheet makes up only about 8%. The Steig et al. analysis that all of Antarctica is warming was refuted by O'Donnell et al., who showed that their methodology was badly flawed. Using the same data as Steig et al., but with better technology, they produced a map showing cooling dominating most of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet with warming primarily constrained to the Antarctica Peninsula. Satellite and surface temperature measurements demonstrate that the Steig et al. contention that all of Antarctica is warming is clearly false. Antarctic satellite temperatures show no warming for 37 years. The Southern Ocean around Antarctica has cooled markedly since 2006. Sea ice has increased substantially, especially since 2012. Surface temperatures at 13 stations on or near the Antarctic Peninsula have been cooling sharply since 2006. Ocean temperatures have been plummeting since about 2007, sea ice has reached all-time highs, and temperatures have been cooling since 2000. The Larsen Ice Shelf Station has been cooling at an astonishing rate of 1.8°C per decade (18°C per century) since 1995. The thickness of most of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is more than 6000 ft (2000 m) and large areas are more than 10,000 ft (3000 m) thick. The importance of ice thickness is that virtually all of the ice sheet is considerably thicker than the depth below sea level to bedrock, so the ice is grounded and will not float. If the West Antarctic Ice Sheet melts away, where the ice is 10,000 ft thick, the land beneath will rebound isostatically several 1000 ft, bringing most of the subglacial bed above sea level. The Pine Island and Thwaites outlet glaciers are only about 30 miles across, so draining 2.2 million km3 of ice through their narrow channels or sending sea water 1000 miles under the ice sheet is not plausible. Studies of subglacial geothermal heat flow show that the area under the Thwaites glacier is unusually high and is the most likely cause of subglacial melting, rather than ocean water. The West Antarctic Ice Sheet is not collapsing, the retreat of these small glaciers is not caused by global warming, and sea level is not going to rise 10 ft. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/B9780128045886000070

We may have passed the tipping point already, it won’t be until sometime after it happens that we can look back and say, this is was probably it.

I suppose you looked at that and thought it showed how hypocritical Republicans are. But it actually shows how hypocritical the woke are. If discomfort leads to growth, why is the Left so frantic to stop anyone being offended by hurty words or 'microaggressions' or 'cultural appropriation'? If discomfort leads to growth, why are there whole armies of the Left now infesting government and corporations, all determined to police whatever words their various preferred identity groups might encounter that offend them? If discomfort leads to growth why is the Left championing the fight against "islamophobia' to stop people arguing with Muslims and mocking their ridiculously violent and hateful religion?

Oh and by the way - TRUMP JUST INCREASED OUR TARIFFS AGAIN!!!! So CARENY just DROPPED our tariffs while trump just jacked ours substantially by adding a craptonne of 'steel derivative' products to the steel tariff list!! Added tariffs have piled on to an already ‘crushing situation’: Canadian steel producers Trump tariffs: Canadian steel makers dismayed by additional tariffs So once again, for the SECOND time Carney has a phone call, Tariffs against canada go UP and tariffs against the us GO DOWN. Does ANYONE believe for a SECOND that a guy who caves this often and this badly to trump is going to wind up with a 'good deal' for canada???

Yes but no but yes but no but yes but he's banker, all hail the banker.

How do you know it's increased?

Nunavut is a territory not a province. It used to be part of the NWTs. It's certainly a unique region in this country. So is PEI. You could argue that the Maritimes could all be one single province based on their population. You could also argue Saskatchewan and Manitoba could be one province based on its population relative to the top four provinces. You could also argue that Ontario could be three or four provinces based on specific regions. Who's the arbiter though? Why are there two Dakotas in the US? Why is Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland separate parts of the UK when the England is larger than all of them combined? Sorry for all the questions, but these issues aren't cut and dry.
