Trump completely played lefties in Canada. 😂

Man robs a bank, runs down the street to his house, police find him and arrest him. Robo- "POOR HELPLESS PEOPLE ARE BEING DRAGGED FROM THEIR HOMES........." First off there are plenty of black people in Latin America, you are a disgusting racist. Second off if they're US citizens they're released immediately. So no problem, families aren't being separated, terrible things aren't happening, for taking into custody or citizenship is verified and they're released Sorry Robo, you got caught lying again

No, there are a number of people here I don't agree with that I haven't put on ignore. I put you on ignore because I have little time or desire to listen to your non-stop and typically argumentative 10 paragraph replies or comments. I'm glad you finally figured this out after the month or two it's been. Hopefully it'll save you the time of continuing to talk to yourself. Now, back to ignore... 👋

Admittedly, you're probably right about it extending to more issues than I realize but it seems to me that sanctuary issues have evolved into more than a simple lack of cooperation, it's now active and deliberate obstruction that extends to areas I wouldn't have expected... like ignoring officer assistance requests in an emergency. That's breaking new ground and I'd be surprised if we don't see pushback on it from police services within the sanctuary jurisdiction itself. I don't have time to pursue this now and I'll be away for a bit but in the mean time here's a link to a "Congressional Research Service" overview that takes a condensed dive into some of the legal issues and machinations on both sides of the issue. I thought it was interesting but that might just be me. Cheers https://www.congress.gov/crs_external_products/LSB/PDF/LSB11321/LSB11321.1.pdf Ya... it's a naked link Robo, cover your eyes.

This might shock you, but I couldn't care less what Uber Eats thinks. And if they can't find drivers and go bankrupt that will cause me not a second of sadness. Just not in Canada. What is their fair share of taxes? From what even Trudeau said, just about half the population pays no income tax at all. They might pay sales tax, but they get GST refunds. They used to get carbon tax refunds, too. I guarantee you that none of these people is paying nearly as much as they take from the government in services and benefits. Small businesses, including those in big cities hiring foreign workers? If you want to fund activist and lobby groups, YOU fund them. I want to fund health care instead. Cite? Evidence? It's about hiring and promoting people who aren't good enough to make it on merit. The problem with you people on the Left is you're so blind to what's been going on that the only time you ever hear of anything is when Trump talks about it. But Trump has no new ideas. He just takes what people have been complaining about and runs with it. He didn't invent the resentment about colleges and universities refusing to hire anyone but social justice activists or slanting their rules and courses to the far left. Nor are those talking about it here imitating Trump. We've been talking about it for years. That you would suggest this is us 'being political' says to me that you think everything that's taught from the perspective of the far left is oky-doky, and only those who want to pull that narrative further to the centre are wrong. You probably support freedom of speech too - as long as it's not speech you disagree with.

Republicans: Killed drug runners Deported illegal aliens Found a bunch of wast fraud and abuse Democrats: Faked Russian collusion intelligence Used faked intelligence to impeach a president Spied on Republican senators Spied on incoming president Used FBI to investigate parents at school board meetings Used FBI to investigate Catholic Church as a political enemy Illegally appointed a special council Committed three acts of banana republic style persecution on a former President Used the CIA, FBI and White House to strong arm sociak media companies into censoring citizens Allowed millions of illegal aliens into the country, gave them free health care, housing, food and spending money while registering them to vote And @robosmith has the nerve to suggest the people that voted for Republicans are blindly following the party? Of course he does.

but but but but gender is FLUID! It's a social construct! IF you can change the first time, why wouldn't your gender be able to change a second time? Or 10 times? Fact is there are real cases of gender disphoria that need to be addressed over time but a LOT of the cases are people being pushed into making decisions by medical "professionals" and lgbtq activist types that they shouldn't have made and then regretting it, and those people don't want that fact exposed.

Detransitioners abandoned by doctors, community face 'detransphobia' | National Post So the short version is if someone who has transitioned or started to transition changes their mind they are attacked and ostracized by the community that encouraged them to do it in the first place. Apparently the LGBQT community as well as the medical community consider it a betrayal. So much for caring about people's gender identity or any rights etc. they only use these people as fodder to promote their agenda when it's useful to them and abandon them the moment they are a problem

Hitler wasn't like Hitler and Trump isn't like Hitler so Trump and Hitler are the same! Honestly, though, this rhetoric is a threat to every conservative member of this forum and every conservative in the United States. You don't try to kill us because we are Nazis. You call is Nazi so you can kill us.

Do you know that both Trump and Hitler has an r in their name?

Trump likes chicken and so does Hitler.

Weren't you paying attention? THE VOICES TOLD HIM SO!!!! What the hell more EVIDENCE do YOU NEED you BUPKIS!!?!!!! (throws zuchinni at you)

It's literally the whole point.

Yes that's exactly what I'm proposing....its either that or extermination...and finding out there is not 72 virgins at the end of the game, but rather a shallow hole with some dirt on top of you...UN has already said 67,000 people killed, and over 70 % of all the homes and shelters destroyed....If Israel does not get it's terms , it will continue to destroy the remaining infra structure, and kills thousands of Palestinian in the process....And Hamas does not give a rats a$$ about it own people they are concerned about their very own survival....And your right if no terms are accepted then Palestinian's will eventually dictate who remains in power...and they are close to deciding now... Trump will force this to a head, by providing more military gear into Israel ....and while the world gasps....that is all they will do....sure there will be protests, none of which will make any difference to Israel or Palestine....Maybe the NDP should elect a Palestinian women for their next leader...would fit in with their new look ... As for the UN it has never been effective at stopping wars....it is to corrupt, outdated, ineffective, has no power to project .....it is a chamber that any world leader can go and hear his or her own voice...nothing more...I'm surprised trump has not kicked them out of New York

Doesn't matter what you want. Billions of people around the world depend on oil products for everything. If you don't like it, stop using it yourself and set an example of how it would be done without any oil products....LOL Maybe try living in a cave and eating off the land like the bears do. See how you like it.

Well thanks, I'll take priceless over morally bankrupt.

robomat thinks illegal aliens are Anne Frank. lol

Sounds like you're suggesting that the Biden Administration (DOJ) didn't bother to look for any connections to Trump out of simple courtesy and an effort to save him any potential embarrassment. Possible I guess but I would suggest that it's unlikely based on logic, previous experience and knowledge of local waters. Since you sound pretty sure of it maybe you could prove me wrong. In the mean time, the monkey seems to think that: YOU'RE LYING. That's why you have NO SPECIFICS, just WILD GRATUITOUS ALLEGATIONS. I tried to convince him otherwise but ya know how it is with those damn monkeys... right?

If they were spying on Russian operatives then why did they make up intelligence that they used to get a warrant to tap phone lines to Trump's staff? You cant just make shit up.

Paying a lot of money to make yourself dumber is an interesting investment. We have real actual problems to solve out there and this is what they fill the heads of kids with. I wouldn't care except these people have been filtering into every profession over the last 10 years and ramming identity politics into everything while discriminating against anyone in the group they feel less sorry for, and it's going to continue indefinitely. And you disagree with them you're a racist sexist homophobe. We're cooked.

People don't like the guy. Get over it. https://www.opinionsandratings.com/top-stories/pierre-poilievre-approval-rating-2025 Back to your fantasy land....

Not many care if you use Uber Eats or not but Uber Eats and most every other business cares if they have people that want to work for them. Think about it for a minute... you're buying sh1t they're processing, packaging and delivering and if they're not there to do that you'll...go pick it up, or? In Canada too. What ever the federal and provincial income tax rates are is their fair share. Just like anyone else who earns taxable income in Canada. Also don't think they're getting any sales tax discounts on things they buy so they're paying that just like us. What government services are they bilking? What are you talking about funding activists... Small business employs about 11M people. That's a big deal. Read your posts. No it's not. It's about including everyone regardless of... You guys are just Trump's minions going with whatever the narrative is. Yes I support free speech, even if I don't agree with it.

Is it your position that political figures should not be subject to investigation when they are reasonably suspected of criminal activity? This is exactly like the bogus claim that Obama spied on Trump. When in fact the FBI was spying on Russian intelligence operatives--and it just so happens that the Trump campaign kept contacting them. You know, to super secretly share totally casual information. 🙄

Hear hear. The nation of Iran, especially women of Iran will take Iran back from these backward Arab lover invaders and make it Persia again. Iran will not be a Muslim country or nation anymore in 5 to 10 years and together with Israel will be the only democratic country or nation in the Middle East in the 2030's.

They want Democracy as long as they have the advantage and win.

Did Democrats block it? Yes! And why are you so obsessed with the nakedness of links? Aren't you the one that couldnt find an embedded link? I was just trying to help you. BTW, the bill you showed, was proposed by a Republican.

I know; I know. You're proud of your support for justin all those years and for the state Canada is in, it's your ideology that matters and you've had free run for a decade. I'm sure that stalin and his minions were proud of their work too.

But they're not poor helpless people. They're criminals who are in the country unlawfully. And making self deported anytime

Qatar is so rich that they give away JETS 😯

LOL awww look at you, all proud of your emotional insecurities Well it's not like he can make a good argument or anything.

Don't know about French but he does speak English and Rubbish.

Cheer up Bubber . . .

Sounds good yet in practice it tends to result in hiring and promotion targets that are based on ethnicity (sometimes even exclusively on ethnicity) instead of competency. In other words, whether intended or not, merit in the form of competency becomes subordinate to skin colour, language, age or whatever. The most grievous examples of that are some university offerings where white people need not apply... they aren't even embarrassed to post those job ads. In some cases, as with military, police and fire service recruiting, it's necessary to expand the normal recruiting band (that ready, willing, able thing) in order to find a sufficient number of the targeted intake group sufficient to form an quorum suitable for course serial loading. If the stated goal of military intake is 25% women by 2026, how else would you achieve a government mandated target if you happen to be in the recruiting business? Not surprisingly, when it comes to sons and daughters of serving members making component transfers to the regular force from the primary reserves, the daughters are enrolled long before their brothers are... that observation may be anecdotal but it's not without lots of examples showing it to be more than simple coincidence. There's a big difference between not excluding people based on age, sex, ethnicity, language etc. and deliberately targeting those individuals based on any parameter other than merit. If you're advocating for doing that I don't see how you can deny that meritocracy can easily become illusionary. When you ask about it you'll hear that standards are never lowered, they're either enhanced or modified to job performance criteria. Even that sounds cool until you consider a little thing called universality of service and see fat navy girls tromping through the bush to fight fires. Obesity in the military now exceeds equivalent age gender rates in civilian life... and we're just getting started here. You can get away with it for a bit but like equipment rust out, it eventually takes a toll and that toll impacts operational tempo. Venture too far into that bottle and retention becomes an issue. Keep slurping the cool aid after that and the capacity to out train personnel deficits becomes a huge challenge. We actually managed to accomplish that very thing without hiring and promoting to DEI targets... imagine the possibilities now.

Your whole post champions DEI at the expense of meritocracy which in itself is non-sensical.

He also seems to think that our Canadian productivity is going up and that companies are investing in better technology. Sadly report after report and study after study says the exact opposite. While other countries are massively improving their productivity through technology, we are barely keeping up in the slightest with even old technology never mind the best of the new technology Today, the Competition Bureau published the findings of an in-depth study ꟷ Competition in Canada from 2000 to 2020: An Economy at a Crossroads ꟷ which tracks a decline in Canada’s competitive intensity over the last two decades. Competition Bureau report finds Canada’s competitive intensity in decline - Canada.ca Underequipped: How Weak Capital Investment Hurts Canadian Prosperity and What to Do about It – C.D. Howe Institute Canada’s R&D Crisis: Bridging the Innovation Gap to Stay Competitive - Checkpoint Research Canada lags other OECD countries in the adoption of advanced technologies, including information and communication technology (ICT), robotics, and artificial intelligence (AI). For example, ICT investment as a percentage of GDP in 2021 was lower in Canada (2.5%) compared to the U.S. (3.7%).10 Investments in ICT are uniquely positioned to boost total factor productivity and enhance Canada's competitiveness.

Seems like you think meritocracy is an illusion.

And your point makes you look dumb. Currently 5 percent is owned by chinese interests, the majority is owned by the americans. Chinese interests owned approximately 5.2% to 5% of total oilsands production as of recent reports, with companies like CNOOC and PetroChina being significant players in the sector, according to The Georgia Straight. While foreign ownership of the oilsands has generally been high, with a total of over 70% of production owned by foreign entities, Chinese companies hold a substantial portion of that foreign investment. Key details about Chinese ownership: Significant Production Share: Chinese state-owned companies accounted for nearly 5% of oilsands production in October 2024. Major Investors: CNOOC, PetroChina, and Sinopec are among the key Chinese state-owned enterprises with substantial investments in the oilsands. Overall Foreign Ownership: Chinese investment is a significant part of a larger trend, as over 70% of oilsands production is owned by foreign companies and shareholders. Historical Context: Chinese companies have made significant acquisitions in the Canadian oilsands, including CNOOC's purchase of Nexen and PetroChina's acquisition of projects like MacKay River. Yet you claimed that harper sold "The Oil Sands" to china because the shareholders of ONE company decided to sell to china, representing LESS than 5 percent by far. FOREIGN companies, including the USA, control 70 percent. NOT CHINA If you're going to complain about foreign ownership complain about the americans they own most of it. I have no idea why you insist on looking like a twat but here we are.

Jail not bail. Axe the Tax Drain the Swamp Stop the Steal Three words GOOOD. More words BAAAD.

I have a wife, kids, a great job, a cottage and plenty of real world friends. If you think I would want to live on an Internet forum the way empty-life losers like you do you’re living in a fantasy world. I come here when I’m bored and have time to kill. That’s all anyone with a full and rewarding life would ever care to do. LMAO just the fact that you think “integrity” and “courage” are defined by arguments with random strangers on Internet forums shows what a desperate tuned-out loser life you have. Do yourself a favour, unplug for a while and try living in the real world for a change.

Upset that being a racist/fascist is not among the qualifying conditions?

You can’t blame God for your actions, for what others do, or for the bullshit that’s been planted in your head.

I'd gladly trade you for a 6 pack of new immigrants. Canada looks at immigration numbers every year in consultation with provinces and business. Less people in our economy means more pressure on our social programs with the lesser taxation. Canada needs to allow as many immigrants as the data results say. Whether you agree or not is irrelevant because it needs to happen.

What Americans pretending to be Canadians when abroad does is give the world some hope. There are still some Americans around with a sense of shame.

The Achaemenids were absolute monarchs. While tolerant of ethnoreligious diversity they still ruled with an iron fist otherwise. And those Arab invaders were lucky to catch the Sassanids at a vulnerable moment in their debilitating wars with the Byzantine Empire. Iran should have stayed Zoroastrian. At the very least it should welcome the Parsees back. They have done so well in India and elsewhere in all sorts of endeavours, eg Cyrus Mistry, Freddie Mercury, and they may soon disappear entirely. Of course, there’s no hope of Islam disappearing but one could hope for a spiritual leader like Sistani in Iraq who seems to generally avoid interfering in politics. Indeed there’s no reason why something like the Ismaili version of Islam couldn’t be more widely adopted that is more compatible with modern life.

Whine whine whine. Such an embarrassment to the males of the human race.

I'm a realist. More importantly, I've met and worked with and lived among some of these people. I am regularly appalled at their ignorance, and often by their superstitious religious nonsense and openly expressed contempt for others (which I'm quite sure includes me and mine when they talk with their own kind). You routinely call white people racist for things that you would hear from almost all newcomers and just smile at. Like that appeals court in BC deciding an indigenous person had a lower level of moral culpability for violently attacking a person for no reason than, you know, a civilized person. If you were really opposed to racism, you'd want to stop such people from coming to Canada.

They're not. Why would I 'recognize' some illiterate goat herder who can barely speak English is my equal? Why would I 'recognize' that the people who were running in the streets of Pakistan screeching for the death of blasphemers last year are now my equal because they came here through our open borders immigration/refugee system? Why would I 'recognize' a guy who earnestly and sternly tells me GOD has commanded women to cover themselves in cloth as my equal? They adapt? They adapt to the wonderful generosity of our social welfare systems. That doesn't mean they assimilate or integrate or even accept any of the precepts of our culture and values. Nor does it mean they instantly acquire an education or an understanding or even acceptance of Western culture. Really? Not one of them? The internet is full of imams and mullahs in London, in Dearborn, in Paris screeching about how all food must be Halal, and Sharia must be imposed, and how Islam must conquer the West and destroy its immoral religions and values. I can repost some if you'd like. Do they? Have you seen any statistics on how many 'newcomers' are availing themselves of social welfare programs I am required to pay for? There is one and only one group of newcomers who earn as much or more than Canadians, and that is the principal applicant in the economic category (about 14% of immigrants). All other categories are economic losses and require Canadians to support them and the services they use. What percentage are on welfare or in public housing? The government won't tell us. But if Sweden or the UK are any indication, a very, very large percentage. How many of them are out raping girls and women? The government won't tell us that. But if Sweden and the UK and Italy and other countries that do keep such statistics are any indication, it's an alarming number. Ever seen the most wanted lists for murderers and noticed a pattern of brown faces? No, probably not. The ignorance of people like you will be Canada's downfall. Your mind is still back in 1950 where all the immigrants are white Christians from Europe and fairly easily adapt to our customs and values. You simply aren't capable of contemplating that Canada is rapidly filling up with people who have no intention of integrating because they despise our traditions, values, and beliefs. Of course, that's also because our government, media, and academia are in the control of people like you, who ALSO despise our traditions, values, and beliefs.

Simple, it’s national. Cult meaning its fringe and not widely adopted but that just isn’t the case. The majority of American voted for this so that makes you all the real cultist for not joining.
