We saw, during the Biden era, distractions on a mass scale. His administration allowed millions of illegal aliens to cross the border. They promoted DEI. They pushed trans acceptance in locker rooms, sports and restrooms. We had to defend against all of that. While we were chasing illegal aliens, defending girls from men in their sports, restrooms and locker rooms, and trying to prevent race based discrimination, Iran was developing nuclear weapons, terrorists were plotting to wipe out Israel, Russia was invading Ukraine, the economy wasn't being managed and other areas of legislation were being ignored. I am glad the adults are back in charge and these distractions are being out to bed.

Im not a big proponent of the church, I'm an atheist with a full appreciation of the relative freedoms guaranteed by the gov'ts in Catholic, Hindu, Buddhist, etc states, but in Canada it seems like most people who have no religion, and therefor see the Cdn gov't as their moral compass and their only leaders, are completely blind to reality. For the past ten years I recognized Dems in the US as a cult, but since about 2019 it has been growing ever clearer that LPOCers are cultist as well. From the outside looking in, the level of credulity and stupidity of the left is mind-blowing.

The age of Trump has only begun. 4 more years

And it happened the instant "elbows up" turned into "pants down".

Well it is 3 years more than yours.

Ask someone to explain what learn means. Correct, you never care when it does not fit your narrative.

Keep up the good work. MAGA!

We knew this would come back in February. We can’t control Trump’s bad decisions we can only decouple from usa as much as we can which will take time. US Courts just ruled Trump’s tariffs are illegal, the made-in-America problem will have a made-in-America solution especially as American job losses and inflation mount

I would like to be able to ask this leftist lieberal as to what the lieberals have done in the past ten years to help make Canada great? I will bet that the leftist buffoon would not be able to give me one dam thing that the lieberals did to make Canada great. And i know that you cannot either, right lefty? 😁

Those 10 trans athletes sure did leave quite the legacy. You dipslits still can't stop talking about them. They are totally authoritarian and I didn't lose anything.... not American.

Dude.... HE BELIEVES THAT. Go look at the forest fire thread. Where they banned access to AN ENTIRE PROVINCE, not because there WERE fires but that there MIGHT be if they let people go into the woods hiking!!! You think you're offering a gross exaggeration to prove your point, it is NOT an exaggeration to them a all!! They want humans banned from EVERY activity that they don't personally authorize them to do. You're not highlighting the ridiculousness of their argument for them, you're preaching to the choir as far as they're concerned

Yeah, fair enough. It's not even that they're constantly wrong that bothers me, its' how in the very same breath or sentence they can do a 180 on what they claimed was an absolute verified thing if it suits their argument. "TRUMP is an EVIL DICTATOR and we MUST be ELBOWS UP and fight back with reciprocal tariffs at all costs and..." Carney just dropped the tariffs. "... and we're DAMNED LUCKY HE DID because fighting back against TRUMP is STUPID and we must ACCEPT what trump tells us to do and that's ALWAYS BEEN OBVIOUS!! We should never be "elbows up"!

I mean, a quick internet search would have found it: Psychiatry.org: With the publication of DSM–5 in 2013, “gender identity disorder” was eliminated and replaced with “gender dysphoria.” This change further focused the diagnosis on the gender identity-related distress that some transgender people experience (and for which they may seek psychiatric, medical, and surgical treatments) rather than on transgender individuals or identities themselves.

No. That, ☝️ right there ☝️, is the problem. I come forward with a solution to the problem and you aren't willing to entertain it. You would rather attack me and ignore the problem than find a real solution. That sentence tells me everything I need to know about you. You are for politics above solutions. You don't have their best interests at heart. You just want to use this tragedy for your own political gain. I thought it was a deep and inciteful self evaluation. Are you saying he actually thought he was attacking a guy that was proposing a solution?

More like you are unable to clearly articulate your thoughts. Or even more more likely you realize what you said was horrible and now you're trying to rewrite it retroactively

See, everyone in the rest of the world knows this. Even someone who openly dislikes Catholics and trans people understands that they are not the problem, the ease of gun access is. Even the simplest solutions seem impossible to regulate there, the display of the shooters arsenal showed umpteen large capacity clips - something you can't even bloody control down there! Shame!

Persecuting how? Expressing opinions?

I think all trannies are unwell, therefore, they ALL need to be reported.

OMG, you are still pushing the "very fine people" lie. This has been debunked so many times now, we just have to assume you have absolutely no regard for being honest here. Especially with your garbage about "openly revere the J6 insurrectionists"

Canada isn't much better. We literally let churches get burned down across the country and did nothing over "reconciliation." But if it was mosques being burned, that would've been a national emergency.

I care about Trumps health, but the notion that Trump is anywhere in the same universe as Biden was with his mental health or how he likely hid his cancer from the world is a joke. Trump is clearly fat, clearly out of shape, just outright jokes about his eating junk, and he is old. OK, so what? Folks like you harp on that and bring it up as if it somehow excuses the outright lies and scandal of coverup that happened with Biden's mental health.

"Voting records" are meaningless and the details of the legislation often are much different than the name of the legislation. And often times, things are put into bills that force one side or the other to vote against it. What's not meaningless is that since the Liberals took office, everything in Canada has gotten worse.

See, it's not a matter of science when you really think about it, because we have zero control over the climate. But with the woketards, it's a matter of political activism and propaganda - all with the single aim of controlling the populace. From the article: "In the past few years there has been increasing concern about global climate change on the part of the media, politicians, and the public. It has been stimulated by the idea that human activities may influence global climate adversely and that therefore corrective action is required on the part of governments. Recent evidence suggests that this concern is misplaced. Human activities are not influencing the global climate in a perceptible way. Climate will continue to change, as it always has in the past, warming and cooling on different time scales and for different reasons, regardless of human action. I would also argue that—should it occur—a modest warming would be on the whole beneficial. This is not to say that we don’t face a serious problem. But the problem is political. Because of the mistaken idea that governments can and must do something about climate, pressures are building that have the potential of distorting energy policies in a way that will severely damage national economies, decrease standards of living, and increase poverty. This misdirection of resources will adversely affect human health and welfare in industrialized nations, and even more in developing nations. Thus it could well lead to increased social tensions within nations and conflict between them."

Isn't the CFR from 2022 or 2023?

Don't give up, you're winning...

Kind of an odd graph to try and make a case against climate change.... Have you looked at the frequency of extreme weather events now versus recorded history? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jun/17/nasa-data-reveals-dramatic-rise-in-intensity-of-weather-events New data from Nasa has revealed a dramatic rise in the intensity of weather events such as droughts and floods over the past five years. The study shows that such extreme events are becoming more frequent, longer-lasting and more severe, with last year’s figures reaching twice that of the 2003-2020 average.

Exactly how do the investments spent on mitigating climate change drive people into poverty? You may want to consider the fact that climate change is a reason for the higher costs of food and goods because of damage to crops and supply chains disruptions.

Like what, letting men compete in women’s sport? Promoting mental illness in our school to young children as if sexuality was a virtue? The real evil people to go after are the enablers and advocates of mental illness. You aren’t an ally, you are the real victimizer.

No I definitely mean more like a family household in which members contribute what they can and get what they need. Meanwhile you guys cry yourselves to sleep every night over how bad everything is. It's no wonder your're so cranky during the day.

I guess by his logic because Christians are now targets of vile hate crimes by far left activists we are now able to take matters into our own hands

Notwithstanding everyone who took him at his word...They were right pissed off at being lied to. Not getting an apology probably made them feel that way even more. No explaining how you, of all people could say a broken promise isn't a lie. It's phenomenal, easily explained of course by the fact you treat Harper like he was a god, but phenomenal all the same.

No, it's more like a business or a household we need to finance. Canada has never been run by a left wing government.

Rising sea levels can only come from melting ice that is resting on land. The water in the atmosphere cycles through rain and evaporation. There are really only 2 major masses of permanent ice on Earth - the Greenland icesheet and the Antarctic icesheet. And the Antarctic icesheet has been gaining ice in recent years. If all the glaciers on Earth melt suddenly, all at one, sea level would rise by less than 2 feet. I'm with Freeman Dyson on this one and he was a pretty damn smart man:

The insane amounts of money being spent on climate crap is driving people into poverty. Poor people don't care about the climate. They will burn dung, they will burn coal, they will pollute the environment if it means they can survive. Ever seen a homeless camp? They are filthy fire hazards. Pull people out of poverty, THEN you can have your pet projects. How you pull people out of poverty is by providing cheap energy. Get India on LNG and nuclear, lift them out of poverty, THEN they will care about your climate crap.

Sure kid. HE'S the one who looks bad here and that people are laughing at 🙄🙄🙄

It's the state of being asleep. 🙄

No I can't figure out why youd defend someone killing small children at church

Property taxes are the least worst taxes I pay. I can see where they are going and I can at least bend the Mayor’s ear if I don’t like where they are going.

Canada, and plenty of other countries can also go on printing sprees but risk inflation. Since the USD is the world's largest foreign central bank reserve holding (followed by gold btw), when the US goes on a printing spree the inflation created is more spread out when exported to those other country's USD reserve holdings. It's a good place to be, just don't screw it up by printing too much and have those foreign banks start losing confidence in the dollar and start dumping USD's. Because if that ever happens, all those USD's will likely end up back in the US if there are no buyers. And then you'll witness inflation like you've never witnessed before. Some refer to it as when the chickens come home to roost.

It's literally related to your point. You said humans cause slightly more than half of all fires. How much of that human caused fires is arson?

Wrong! Canada's Public Enemy #1 . . . comes from within. Mark Carney Brain~dead Liberals . . .

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

There was a time I wanted to retire in the Okanagan. Not anymore I'm afraid. Toronto is a true reflection of its leadership. Stoopid. I still find it hard to believe they elected Chow mayor.

Brilliant little read from an unknown writer that totally gets it. Sit down and learn a few things. "If anyone’s wondering — I’ve voted Conservative, Liberal, and even NDP when the local representative was the best person running. I’ve always tried to vote for the person and the plan, not just the party. Some of my old friends might be surprised by the tone of this post. Maybe even uncomfortable. That’s okay. I’m not here to convert anyone — I’m just offering some perspective from someone who’s seen governments come and go. I’m not frustrated by disagreement — that’s healthy. I’m frustrated by the mindless reposting of memes, by empty slogans instead of actual solutions, and by the constant blame game that replaces responsibility with outrage. Polls show that older Canadians are more likely to support the Liberals and there’s a reason for that: we’ve seen governments come and go. We remember the Petro-Canada era, the National Energy Programam backlash, the Mulroney cuts, the Chrétien surpluses, the Harper austerity, and the COVID-era interventions. We’ve lived through it — not just read about it online. What that history teaches you is that governance isn’t about slogans. It’s about outcomes. Plus they havent forgotten when the Conservatives added two years to the OAS leaving the retirement age at 67 So if we’re going to talk about the last 9 years, then let’s be honest and look at the last 30. You can’t understand where we are without knowing who brought us here. Here’s how I see things. You can agree or disagree — that’s democracy. But let’s stop shouting and start thinking. 1) Taxes The GST? That was Mulroney’s Conservatives. The HST? Brought in and expanded under Harper. Meanwhile, Trudeau’s government lowered the middle-income tax rate from 22% to 20.5%. So no — taxes haven’t gone through the roof for most Canadians. Let’s keep the facts in the room. 2) Scandals Every government has them. The difference is how they’re handled. Under Trudeau, ministers who violated ethics rules resigned. The Ethics Commissioner’s office was expanded. By contrast, Harper’s government was found in contempt of Parliament — an unprecedented event in Canadian history. 3) Crime Despite the headlines, serious crime is lower now than it was in the 1990s. Yes, there have been spikes in specific areas and categories, but the long-term trend is clear. Let’s stop pretending we’re living in some lawless dystopia. 4) Immigration Yes, the international student surge put pressure on housing and services but reforms are already in place — caps, tighter oversight, and new criteria. At the same time, many of the people complaining about immigration were also the ones yelling about labour shortages. Immigration isn’t the problem. Mismanagement was — and it’s being corrected. 5) National Debt Yes, the debt grew during the pandemic. But that spending kept businesses open, families afloat, and supply chains functioning. Canada’s debt-to-GDP ratio is still the lowest in the G7. So while we need fiscal discipline, we’re not teetering on the edge like some would have you believe and who might you want in a leadership position to manage that? 6) Housing Crisis Housing is a provincial and municipal responsibility. The feds can help with funding and incentives — and they have — but zoning, permitting, and approvals are in the hands of cities and provinces. If you’re sitting in a home that’s tripled in value and complaining about housing affordability, maybe take a second look at the system that helped you and is now hurting others. 7) “Run Government Like a Business” Government isn’t a business. You can’t cut the sick, the poor, or the unprofitable. You don’t get to fire your “bad customers.” Government is supposed to serve all of us, not turn a profit. Fortunately, we’ve got someone with the right mindset: Mark Carney — Harvard and Oxford educated, former Governor of the Bank of Canada and Bank of England, and the guy who helped steer the global economy through the 2008 financial crisis. He understands spending, restraint, and sustainability — and he does it without screwing over the people at the bottom. 8. Military The Harper government slashed defense spending to its lowest levels since WWII. Bases closed. Veterans were ignored. The current government has increased spending, committed to modernization, and started rebuilding our global reputation. It’s slow — but it’s real. 9) Freedom of Speech The last real gag order in this country was under Harper, when government scientists were forbidden from sharing research that the government didn’t agree with. Now, Conservatives are openly discussing using the Notwithstanding Clause to override Supreme Court rulings. That’s not freedom — that’s control. 10) Conservatives and Republicans Are Canadian Conservatives the same as U.S. Republicans? No. Are they increasingly aligned? Yes. They belong to the same international party alliance, use the same culture war tactics, and have increasingly adopted U.S.-style talking points on immigration, media, and identity. 11) Homelessness Homelessness didn’t just pop up overnight. Mental health issues have been exacerbated by decades of cuts — especially by Conservative provincial governments that closed psychiatric hospitals and reduced access to services. Many people end up self-medicating just to survive. And for those saying “just get a job” — if you’re fighting for survival every single day, it’s tough to think about anything else. A job interview isn’t step one — stabilization and treatment are. We need systems that treat the root, not punish the symptom. 12) Health Care The feds have increased transfers — $198.6 billion over 10 years, with a $3.1 billion deal signed with Ontario alone. But the Financial Accountability Office says Ontario is underfunding health care by $21.3 billion. So ask yourself: where’s that money going? 13) National Infrastructure The Trans Mountain pipeline? Purchased and completed by this government. The Coastal GasLink LNG pipeline to Kitimat? Operational. Pipelines got built. Quietly. Without press conferences and bumper stickers. 14) Quebec / Jurisdictional Realities Housing, health care, education — these are provincial responsibilities. The Bloc leader was absolutely right to call it out. I love Quebec’s culture, the way they approach business internationally. Canada is stronger with Quebec at the table WITH us. If we want real progress, we need federal leadership that brings all levels of government together, not just one that tweets demands from Ottawa. 15) Alberta Oil and gas make up 21% of Alberta’s economy, but only 3.2% of Canada’s GDP. Alberta matters — but it’s not the whole show. Its Heritage Fund sits at $22.9 billion. Norway’s oil fund? $1.7 trillion. Had we stuck with a national energy strategy — like the NEP — Alberta alone could be getting $8 billion a year in transfers, covering its infrastructure budget. Who killed the NEP? Mulroney’s Conservatives, under pressure from Alberta and U.S. oil interests. I’ve always enjoyed my time in Alberta and Canada is stronger WITH Alberta at the table. 16) Experience & Leadership Mark Carney isn’t a career politician. He’s a globally respected economist with Harvard and Oxford degrees, former Governor of the Bank of Canada, Governor of the Bank of England, and chair of the Financial Stability Board during the 2008 crash. He’s guided entire economies through disaster. He doesn’t need applause — he needs a mandate. So where does that leave us? We need to stop electing people who appeal to anger and nostalgia, and start supporting those who understand the complexity of the world we actually live in. It’s time to vote for intelligence, collaboration, and leaders who put people over slogans, substance over showmanship, and public service over self-interest. We change and evolve over our lifetime — and so does the world around us

You never mentioned what 'the other forum' was and then go on to complain how no one posted about certain things on it. So why didn't YOU if you're a member and the issues concern you? Like FFS talk about inventing issues to complain about.

ROFLMAO!!! Gee...how did i and several others, know the Carney was full o' sh1t with his "Elbows Up" campaign? If I remember correctly, you bought into that nonsense. So now you think you can invoke common sense? What...do you think we dont remember your posts as the election was on-going? You've exposed yourself...once again...as a total goof. "Elbows Up"
