https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/vaccines-schools-florida-1.7624370 I don't think people should be forced to take the flu shot or the COVID vaccine. But you SHOULD have to get the MMR vaccine if you want to access public services. These are diseases that were thought to be eradicated, and now because uninformed conspiracy theorists think "Bit Pharma" is out to get them. This will be a huge FOFA moment for Florida.

Project 2025 mastermind invited to speak at Carney's cabinet meeting | CBC News So, trump says he loves carney. Carney gives trump everything he wants Carney takes our own tariffs off And now Carney invites the mastermind behind trump's infamous project 2025 to speak to his cabinet Remind me again about how PP is the one who will sell us out to trump and is too much like trump?

You just gotta rub some dirt in that polio and measles and that'll fix it.

When did you become a mind reader? LOL. You really need to do something about your Poilievre derangement syndrome.

OK... so now you are going to spam us with every stupid person with a gun? Why not every stupid person with a boat on a lake or with a swimming pool?

Oh great... spam.

The lie is found in some a$$hole telling citizens of a constitution driven Republic that guns are evil and that they should be surrendered or destroyed immediately. Get thee the f*ck out of here, communist.

The problem right now for Canada is that the Canadian card is only articulated in superficial terms. I don’t think most Canadians know what the general direction of Canada has been or what the country’s core values were or even should be. That’s a problem. Our own federal Liberal government stopped asserting Canada’s cultural roots and decided that being Canadian means having a big expensive government that makes decisions for how people should think and live, and also decided that the population should stop reproducing itself and rely on immigration for the country’s survival. It brought us promotion of non-traditional families and assisted suicide, shaming of the country as settler colonial, and an anti-resource development philosophy that has handcuffed the sectors with the most potential.

These things are a bad trend. The last thing politics needs are parties separated by race and advocating for racial interests rather than ideological ones. The way to avoid that is to avoid policies that give certain races, sexes etc privileges over others.

Well, something seems to have fixed things locally so I guess if I don't have much to complain about I'm not much use to you.

Who cares what the civilized world has to say, they don't live beside a terrorist city with 2 million inhabitants that want to meet Allah and get there 101 virgins... Holocaust, is the word we are using right now...you could not have thought of a more descriptive word....gawd you NDP people are drama queens...first you guys said they were starving to death... now this has turned into a Holocaust , there is no where to go from here...You sit there drinking your kokanee in your basement, making judgements on things you know nothing about....that's what your good at , that's what most Canadians are good at, judging...it's a national past time

Centuries ago, though that is based on a mistranslation. Muslims have burned women alive this century. Perhaps you see the difference? Or perhaps you don't care. Which is what I"m doing. What Muslim countries don't hate Jews? None in the Middle East, that's for sure. Not Pakistan or Bangladesh. None in North Africa. Indonesia? Nope, they don't like Jews. Not Malaysia. They hate Jews. What prejudices? Prejudice suggests pre-judging. I'm not pre-judging Islam. My views on Islam are based on the actions of Muslims over the past twenty-five-odd years, and what I have heard fairly reasonable people like Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens, and Douglas Murray tell me about this religion. All of those guys are atheists, btw. So they don't have a boat in the race. They're not big fans of any religion. How much do YOU know about Islam and the Muslim world? Because I gotta tell you, you come across as incredibly ignorant, as virtually knowledge-free. Bigotry towards Jews is based on who they are. My dislike of Islam and Muslims is based on what they do. You don't get the difference?

I hear you but there's no way I'm jumping into the bed so many conservative dolts have layed out. It's the extremes that are tearing the world apart. There should be a wide open opportunity here for a more rational populism to emerge but we'd probably still wind up with more car salesmen applying for the job than anyone else. Maybe a world run by AI wouldn't be so bad after all.

Maybe this is just a Twitter rabbit hole I've fallen down, but there seems to be a social media movement in the US to abolish Property Taxes. https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1957220344621679045 The idea is that once you own your home you it's like a rent you have to continue to pay. Unlike Cable, Internet, Water, Hydro, Gas, Condo Fees (if applicable)? 🫤 Property taxes are some of the most useful taxes a citizen in the West can pay. They pay for snow removal, police, fire, EMS, libraries. AND Schools! Americans have really lost the plot on this. Is a country that spends a billion dollars on defense quibbling about paying taxes to fund a functioning community. I don't see a movement like this in Canada. We must have more sense . . . right?

We foreigners are proud - our flag, language. I am surprised that any foreigner is surprised when an American does the same.

This is a military operation on a declared terrorist organization it has nothing to do with justice but rather national security....Your president authorized it he does not need any permissions from any courts or judges, I would have thought being a American you would have known that...This happens around the world every day, just does not receive the attention this incident did.

It's utterly pathetic that someone should even be able to use that as a slogan, and have it make sense. Most people should be able to look at that and say "That's what our gov't is already doing, duhhhhh", but the easiest promise for a Canadian politician to keep right now is "I will be more pro-Canadian than the last pile of snakes".

Instead of just bending facts, you and your colleagues excel at turning them into balloon animals. Is this you?

Oh, they were guilty and in international waters so they were fair game. Smuggled narcotics kill 100k+ people every year. And these guys were working for Venezuela, so they were committing an act of war by invading our borders to deliver products designed to kill Americans.

'Lawcare'...not bad. I don't figure lobbyists are proposing anything, I was being facetious. Of course it costs people to defend themselves in court, and some are willing to pay for insurance. No argument there. ------------------------- It still stands, if you point a firearm at a person in Canada, it is a crime. What's asinine, is all this 'ya but this guy and that guy'. Because the police decide not to charge a person in a specific case does not mean it is not a crime.

How many times must your thick head be told that Canadians have no interest whatsoever in being "great". We're totally satisfied just to be the best.

So sink that 100,000 ton container vessel and gun down the survivors in the water! They were carrying illegal KinderEggs. JUSTICE!... durrp

There should be huge leeway for someone causing violence against someone who breaks into your home. Outside of torture or some other odd extreme cruelty i think any violence is fair game. If you're shot leaving the property who cares. Police would have done the same thing trying to stop them in an arrest if the suspect ran. Maybe PPs law is even correct here who knows, I just think he's an opportunist doing theater here.

All of them are far more educated, persuasive thinkers than your dumbass takes. Put up or shut up. How old do you think those 72 virgins are? 9 years old like their prophet's wife, Aisha. It's a literal pedo death cult that believes terrorist martyrs are rewarded with a harem of little girls to use as they please. As soon as America left Afghanistan & Iraq, child marriages were reinstated for 50-60+ year old men to breed like dutiful cattle. If Christians started acting like Muslims you'd all be crying fascist nazis, but hey...you're already doing that.

You got that from Rogan right? Measles doesn't seem to be a problem where vaccine rates are high.

I tend to agree. Although I have read that many diseases were eradicated by proper sanitation, plumbing, and hygiene. That all coincided with some vaccines. But vaccines get all the credit, When you look at the date, things like polio were already decreasing significantly. Regardless, I think some of the traditional vaccines should still be mandated for children.

His initials are PP, and if you say them outloud it sounds like pee pee. He smells like terds and farts all day long. He picks his nose and eats it and his nose shoots boogers and if you even go near him you get infested with Nazi cooties. He didn't get that security clearance that would have gagged him. He spends his time as opposition leader being critical of the government instead of agreeing with all the liberal policies leading to our decline. That's just really mean and divisive. These things are all more important than good policy.

Shut up, you ldiot. lol Some Christians are dumb. They often speak like communists because they've allowed godless a$$holes, like you, to convince them that Jesus was a communist. Smart Christians, like me, know exactly what your side is trying to do at all times, so it's easy to flush your nonsense right down the shitter - it's practically automatic.

He's doing that on purpose and nothing you say will change it. Speaking personally, the law as written isn't a big problem for me, if you have a passing familiarity with it you can navigate it in a reasonable manner.... and reasonableness is the gold standard in such things. What people are deliberately failing to acknowledge is the aftermath (in terms of charges) for average folks who inadvertently fall into "traps for the unwary" on (what is perhaps) one of the worst encounters of their lives. In fairness, that's to be expected because most people have never considered such things in a scenario driven manner before they're confronted with it for the first time. Put In a military context, simply reading the existing rules of engagement (ROEs) to your crew isn't as helpful as scenario driven discussions, pop quizzes, and rehearsals. The fact that anything you use as a weapon is subsequently considered a weapon bugs me a bit (that might just be me) but... depending on what you say after the fact it can cause you grief. The soup can and bear spray scenario I mentioned earlier are examples. Some may remember the plight of the "Spiceman" in Toronto years ago. He was a restaurant owner who used a handful of asian spices as a "weapon" against a trespasser. As I recall, he got the whole arrest without a warrant thing wrong because he didn't actually observe an indictable offence and thus wasn't protected by the use of reasonable force caveats contained in the law. In any case, my point is that deliberately carrying "asian spices" for defensive purposes is not the same as having them in your possession (for a legitimate reason) during the course of a confrontation. If we go back to the soup can thing, you are going to be asked why you were carrying it... "it's my lunch" will be viewed differently under the law than "I need something to defend myself from thugs on the bus." Elicitation techniques (in the right hands) are pretty compelling you may find yourself saying things that bite you. Even with my limited exposure to such techniques, I bet I could steer the "pleasant conversation" in either direction, you will likely be charged if you're carrying it for defensive purposes and used it to defend yourself. Here's another example: In the bear spray shed robbery I used earlier, the police arrive and interview you and your wife separately. There was no firearm used in the encounter but they know you have them in the house. They ask your wife if there are guns in the house (they already know the answer) then they ask if she has an R/PAL (they know the answer to that too). When she says no, the cop responds with something to the effect of, "can you get the key for me I need to look inside?" She complies. Two things just happened here... you have agreed to a voluntary search and you have violated the safe storage rules by virtue of her knowing where the key is (she doesn't have an R/PAL). In the safe they find a .22 semiautomatic rifle you've had since childhood, 3 days ago it got added to the list of prohibited weapons.... your next offence is not having it double locked, with a trigger lock even though it was in a locked safe to start with. There's two serious charges here and we're just getting started and the guns had nothing what so ever to do with the event. Now, how many gun owners track this stuff? How many wives know where the key is or what the combonation is. She might even use the little shelf in it occasionally to store cash from work. LOL, after that (and for the next year) she'll have a lot more room for those night deposits though. The video I posted has a proposed solution I now think has some merit. He proposes that in cases of homeowner self defence, where charges are laid by the Crown, that an evidentiary hearing in front of a judge is required post haste to validate the Crown's contention that there is a reasonable expectation of a conviction. He also suggests that the threshold for prosecution be significantly higher than that which now exists... essentially that the level of violence used by the homeowner in defending himself needs to be egregious and wildly out of proportion to what a reasonable person would do. Since we're considering deliberate, dynamic breaches by multiple assailants for the purpose of robbing the home owners, assuming that the bad guys are armed and intend you harm is perfectly reasonable under the circumstances. The brother-in-law and lawnmower scenario is hardly worth responding to IMO... you either get this at a reasonable level or you don't. All IMO of course.....

And it feels like there aren't enough deportations. We need more deportations each day - a lot more.

America First. MAGA!!!

It wasn't one of his ideas. That's the amusing bit. PP would never have done that. He doesn't like trump, isn't interested in the ideas of this guy. Carney on the other hand does like trump. And is happy to talk to his advisors. You guys got Soooooo played. And the ndp sold their party into oblivion over this guy.

Jagmeet Singh made so many basic mistakes on image and policy. For example, that Rolex. Firstly, where were the (expletive deleted) handlers? Secondly, why would they be needed on such a basic messaging point if their leader had an ounce of awareness about his role? He should also have given serious consideration to ditching the turban and beard, especially when his relationship with the Khalistan crowd was, let’s say, ambivalent. Terry Milewski was at his absolute sneering best with him on that, knowing the subject inside out. By contrast, Ujjal Dosanjh already offered a clear model of secularized Canadian Sikhism he should have followed and had the actual scars to prove it. Yes, Singh was a good and talented person but he just didn’t have a clue on how to stop the shots coming his way as an ethnic minority leader from a privileged background heading a left-wing party. If I were trying to revive the party (and as a Chrétien Liberal my heart isn’t really in this) I would be looking for a hard-headed, genuinely working-class individual, perhaps with a union background, who would compete with Carney on collective bargaining when big strikes happen and the Tories on foreign temporary workers. Don’t let any potential voter go without a fight, except maybe to the Greens. Listen to what working-class Canadians actually want and be angry about their unmet needs.

They're extremely good at shooting themselves in the foot before getting out of the gate. Used to joke about in the 1980s they'd pick a blind woman with no English in a wheelchair as leader so as to congratulate themselves for the moral victory when they lost badly. Even used to do a comic strip called NDP World in an underground paper. - guy goes out to see why bus hasn't moved all day. Driver hired has no legs can't reach the pedals - guy is drowning so lifeguard puts on his hardhat, safety glasses, steel toed boots, guy's dead by then and lifeguard drowns too - BOB, the guy with no arms and no legs appointed Consumer Complaints Minister I was a little resentful then. In 3rd yr Psych I applied for a job in the Hospital. Several interviews only to be told they were required to hire laid off workers who directed traffic onto the ferry first....

You said that to me once. So I'll reply again... After you.

Nope. It opens us up to spies.

In order to defeat your opponent you must understand them.

Yeah, the evidence is pretty overwhelming that if there is fraud it can be done without being detected, so there either is or they might very well be and in either case it's death to democracy.

After 10 years of Liberal governance.

Federal Liberals have ransacked Canada. Brain~dead Liberal voters make it so.

Awww.... you were trying to be so nice and considerate and it looks like you hurt his wittew feewings again anyway

Posted were asinine. How you feel about that is up to you. What else do I not know? Oh... didn't you know, how I didn't know, I can't take it? Not impressive is your lack of knowing what I don't know. Requiring insurance is for each person to decide in this case, and has nothing to do with the laws regarding self defense. Though it wouldn't surprise me if the Liberal gov't makes it mandatory to have self defense insurance, while being illegal to defend oneself.

You're like every XENOPHOBE going back 200 years here. Used to be Irish, then Italians and now Mexicans/South Americans. You make a MOCKERY of the dedication plaque on the Statue of Liberty and America's TRADITION of welcoming immigrants. You don't belong here, SO STAY OUT, since you don't like 40% of our population.

What the Hell is wrong with you? Did you really think Brandon and Pixie-Dust Trudeau could flood North America with people who do not belong and whose culture clashes with ours, without a backlash? Man...are you older than 10?

Discriminating against people who make up nearly half the voting population is a great way to win elections, and even red-pilling a bunch of them. The concept that everyone should have equal say and equal rights regardless of their race or gender etc has now become a foreign one to the left. They've abandoned the basic foundations of liberalism and liberal democratic rights. Progressives have become such a dolt lot over the last decade. It's no wonder the Democrats are in shambles with this kind of ludicrous nonsense. These parties have made their bed and now get to lay in it.

Her daughter is accused of stabbing a 6-year-old. She says she warned officials | CBC News No gun. Teen dies after reported stabbing in Abbotsford, B.C., park, police say | CBC News No gun Deadly stabbing of mom, child in Edmonton believed to be ‘completely random’: police - Edmonton | Globalnews.ca no gun Police seeking witnesses after boy, 15, stabbed to death on downtown Vancouver street - The Globe and Mail no gun 1500 people killed with knives in the usa in 2023, not just stabbed but dead. No gun. But in your mind those deaths are just fine. You ONLY care about guns. You don't care how many die

Yeah, for a guy who's done nothing but politics his whole life he showed a remarkable lack of political instinct and a huge misunderstanding of Canada. The Cons should do Canada a favour and ditch him.

Given them 25 years.
