Droughts, fires and floods are beneficial? Who knew?

not at all him and that blond wacko that came on pow and politics don't have a clue how rural communities work. it was clear the PP host whos from NL new tons more about rural canada then her who as the shadow minister should be more knowledgeable on the topic. all she could say is i dont believe it when he would tell her locals wont take these jobs in some small rural areas she was clueless.. you cant just end the programs it would end tons of buisness in small towns like mine and in NL .. even tim powers whos a conservative admitted it basically you cant just end it like PP is saying.. i am all for them lowing the temp workers in places like tims and fast food cause you should be able to find locals. but some jobs locals just won't do them like fish plants for example..

I went to school with Legato. He was valedictorian, and he got a Rhodes scholarship.

tfw actually helps the place i work at because its gone thru all the locals and they all quit or dont show up for work . so without them i would be without a job that pays me decent over 20$ a hour.. but like herbie said PP is just rage baiting he wont actually end it if he won power ... his buddys all use the program to much. it needs to be tweaked not deleted

It's also because PP is so unpopular. I think one of the tariffs is because his eyes are so close together.

@robosmith did not come back to defend his computer genius status. 😐 ⬅️ This is my shocked face. Shocked I tell you!

It's all Trump's and Stephen Harper's fault.

Carney has not turned things around. Carney has not been much different than Trudeau. Canada continues to fall behind the rest of the G7.

Carney is pausing the EV mandate, just like Pierre said should happen. Another policy that Pierre was ahead of and correct on. At this point, we really just need Pierre as PM, as Carney is just a middle man.

Let's revisit them, shall we?

Celeb activists say dumb stuff? Colour me shocked. People should listen to the scientific community about science, not Leonardo Dicaprio or internet forum posters.

Look i've said this thousands times already, YOUR nation the USA, has been doing these military operations around the world for decades....you could include Mine nation as well....And i'm sure they have offices upon offices of lawyers and judges, that they seek to find out "IF" they can kill terrorist....now that includes republican and democrats presidents do you really think they would be that stupid and not follow the rule of law, or national security policies... Please show us the proof you have that these guys were not toughly vetted....Your just assuming like i am assuming that there is a long list of check list items that need to be checked before your military blows something out of the water... They are very important to everyone, however there are national security policies that take president over domestic and inter national laws...being declared a terrorist gives nations another set of powers to arrest or eliminate these people....if terrorist were treated like anyone else...why declare them terrorist at all, WHY have several different class of fugitives... I wonder does your CIA get court orders when they kill someone ? or is all of those stories in the media just Hollywood stories...they make for great reading but not really true...

I found this article at the NP, TRIGGER WARNING for those that support terrorist or Palestine....It is an "opinion piece" and how these recognized inter national organizations have changed the definitions of words like famine, Genocide, to the benefit of Hamas...to support their mega propaganda machine..it also changed to benefit the lefts talking points.... Opinion: International legal standards are being watered down to demonize Israel Opinion: International legal standards are being watered down to demonize Israel

How in the name of thundering Jaysus can any right-thinking person say that? Russian invaded Ukraine. Ukraine is merely trying to defend itself. The bad guy here could not be clearer.

No. But the onus is on you to prove motivation. You claimed Trump is doing it to become a dictator. Prove it.

You love Trump so much you would betray your country and even lie about the children he raped, saying they recanted their story. Just think about that—-lying to protect paedophilia.

There is no doubt the TFW program has been abused and manipulated but the fact remains there are industries and regions where they are necessary. Instead of calling for the system to be banned, get it back to what it was intended to do in the first place.

If you are talking about fish plants, I am sure they will do the same. This is just an announcement on the site of what they are planning to do. The spirit of the idea is basically what Shady pointed out about Tim Hortons.

That doesn't fix my job which is not agroculture lol.. 5 years is no good locals literally dont apply as which happens in lots of non agriculture jobs now a days.. it needs to be tweaked not abolished lol

Since this is wildly off topic I won't pursue it further... but I think It doesn't really matter what you believe, forestry management deficiencies and excess fuel loading have consequences and the longer you chose to ignore that the worse it will get. Frankly, the more you believe you're right the more you should actually support physical mitigation efforts. I hope you aren't going to suggest that we wait and do nothing until 195 separate countries reach a consensus on climate change. You can't seem to achieve that consensus with a handful of posters on an anonymous forum so I think waiting is a mistake... time to get busy and maybe getting some TFWs on the job would help.

Public safety minister’s phone number was in document seized during 2006 terror finance probe | Globalnews.ca So hiring a guy who's been implicated in terrorist fundraising to be the Safety Minister sounds like a pretty good idea right? The libs are basically trolling people at this point.

More like, in spite of all the scientific and physical evidence piling up, people don’t believe it because they don’t want to. The guy who is leading the fight against spraying is also saying the increased number and intensity of the fires is due to global warming.

Inflation rising, unemplyment rising, manufacturing dropping, soldiers in the streets, Huge geo-political losses, kissing Putin's ass, allowing Netenyahoo's genocide, bringing back measles, polio, rubella , etc..., declaring war on Democratic cities, gerrymandering on steroids, shutting down medical research... And many other "positive" effects. Says a lot about what you like in a politician.

I don't think he's up on the latest polls either. 3 in a row now show carney already slipping badly and September just started.

While I’m fine with modifying the program, completely getting rid of it would be a disaster for some communities in Canada. It’s a non-starter. I’m going to contact my local Conservative MP and see if he is willing to defend this proposal. He must know what it would mean in his riding.

You went to Paris and back in four hours? You're lying.

Who the F cares what you think you heard, Barqi

You have no evidence that’s true other than the word of a habitual liar. It makes you look naive and weak.

So you support state sponsored narco terrorists?

You might have to work him up to that. Try convincing him that he's been a zucchini all along, and take it from there. That's probably an easier path to success

Sure...if any government had listened to forest ecologists that were prescribing stand diversity, allowing natural fires to burn or God forbid leaving trees behind they would have been dismissed as wild-eyed communist anti-capitalist hippies. Get a vape pen. I doubt you could start a fire with one even if you were drunk.

In 2024 there were 195,000 ZEV's registered in BC, up from 5,000 in 2016 and they accounted 22.4% of new light vehicle sales.

I believe him. https://weightofstuff.com/how-much-does-a-tesla-weigh/

The Roberts bank port expansion on the West coast, 4 active LNG terminal projects in BC, just announced $15B invest in Newfoundland and Labrador LNG terminal, upcoming announcements for Churchill and Montreal terminals, just started Major Projects office, just announced measures to mitigate impact of US tariffs and trade disruptions, expanded trade relationships and opportunities .... A long way to go but seems to me that things are getting started.

I can never tell if he's dumb enough to believe what he's saying or if he's some kind of cult leader who knows it's all BS but he's here to rally the leftards. He's an interesting little fella, to be sure.

No it's the decreasing number of smokers making up for it by flinging far more butts out the window. Just making similar stupid claims to avoid the real issue.

So produce the science that shows that. You've been asked for it a billion times. It seems it doesn't exist. So no, it isn't. No it isn't. The IPCC is evidence that people will lie for money. Which should make you feel like a twat for doing it for free all the time

The least you expect from populists is that they are more in touch with what’s going on in Canada than the ‘elitists’ at CBC. I experienced the opposite when listening to Rempel the other night. She hadn’t a clue about life in rural Newfoundland whereas Cochrane did.

Of course there isn't. But a LOT of young people won't take them. Only in the last year the local Subway found local kids. The TFWs were here for years and half them are now landed. Local teen won't mow lawns for ONLY $20. My Dad makes $40 hr. Told the kid these tiny city lots only take you 20 minutes, that is $60 an hour. Must still be busy scratching his head, never came back since June. This summer the kids are taking those jobs the talk on TV about it helps scare them into it. Wendys ot nothing. Like what is it now $17 something minimum? Ot ZERO. Choose. ( I have 2 friends with boys that graduated this year and last that just will not even look for work. Parents scared to boot them out thinking they'll end up street druggies Funny that all the girls are working. )

I saw Rempel trying to defend this populist move on Power and Politics the other day. Her heart wasn’t really in it, especially after Cochrane actually presented real world examples of Canadian workers being very hard to find in outback Canadian locales like his own province of NL which I can confirm right the way through the social spectrum. From Tim Hortons to the GP clinic we would be royally screwed out here without foreigners. They do the work. Meanwhile my taxes pay for a ‘local’ med school that supplies doctors exclusively for the city - apparently wifi not good enough here plus so much call sucks. Indeed, some of these precious darlings come with a long list of what they won’t do out in the sticks. Do you want us all to move to a shanty town around Toronto? Banlieue might sound better until you see it. If PP wants to MODIFY the program, fair enough, but he should do his homework first. National economic change needs to be carefully considered, sensitive to regional differences, and gradual. Do I have to say that?

The letter is below. There's nothing controversial in the letter. The majority of Liberal MP's who didn't sign this letter are vile cowards worried more about votes and backlash from antisemites than protecting Jewish minorities in this country from hatred and violence. They've turned their backs on the Jewish community. The Liberal Party has no honour or integrity or courage and don't represent Canadian values or liberal democratic values. They prove it time and again. They're pandering to hateful antisemites FFS. How can people keep voting for a party unwilling to defend our basic democratic values when it's politically inconvenient to them? This is a pretty big story IMO.

You asked for evidence of the climate situation being a crisis. Now you're moving the goalposts and looking for a specific set of circumstances, like a photo of a pangolin fùcking a bat in a wet market or something.

The biggest piece of evidence that climate change is a crisis is the IPCC that was created by the United Nations to address the situation. Why on Earth would all the planet's countries do such a thing if it wasn't a crisis situation? Oh, and it's evidenced even better by the deliberate never-ending effort to create indifference to it.

The age of Trump is only beginning. Every Nevertrumper in this forum, every member of the MAGA Legion Vast that swept aside your electioneering in one night, was once like you. Fought as feebly as you. Every Trumper that lives today is a convert!

"Sunny ways my friends, sunny ways . . . ." Brain~dead Federal Liberal voters.

Your replying to a lieberal that knows nothing about anything. It is his hero Carnage that he believes is going to make and keep Canada great, it's more like woke and broke. So far, i have not seen a dam thing that Carnage has done so far to try and make Canada great. His big push now is EV's. Carnage wants to force everyone wanting to buy a new car by 2035 has to be an EV. Talk about dictatorships in other countries. We now have our own EV dictator in Ottawa. It is massive 3rd world immigration and massive foreign aid that is destroying Canada today. Carnage the barbarian just gave Ukraine another four billion taxpayer's tax dollars to Ukraine to help fight Russia and that is not counting the billions being blown in foreign aid to many other 3rd world countries who never seem to improve at all with the money giving to them. Pretty much most of that 4 billion bankster borrowed money goes into the pockets of Zelenzkyy and his ilk. Our dollar is almost as low as the Mexican peso. Nothing like being on par with the Mexican peso. LOL.
