A quote attributed to Keynes: “When the facts change, I change my mind - what do you do, sir?” ― John Maynard Keynes The facts in Canada have most certainly changed over the last year.

If I were the executor of the estate or the guardian of the kids, I would strongly consider suing the group that trained and deployed her. Their training was inadequate and they taught her tactics that put her in harms way. Had these two just stood on the side lines blowing whistles like moroʻns, she would still be alive and her kids would not be orphaned. Ice Watch will probably be bankrupt soon.

Yes, only Right-wing indoctrination is acceptable. Praise Q-anon! Pizza Parlour Pedophiles must be destroyed! BlaBlahBlahphuckinBlah!

So far away from him that it hit him.

No, I don't even agree with the slogan. But there is structural value in having some different perspectives. One thing that Canadians are not great at is being entrepreneurial. We are very compliant, and defer to authority more than other cultures. Sure but what's he going to say on the topic? I would agree with him more if he had said Muslim Canadians are Canadians like the rest of us. Canada has a melting pot, whether we want to admit it or not.

No, but unless you think the Chinese model where mono-ethnic, mono-cultured and religiously suppressed allegiance to the Party is the best model, you probably have to acknowledge that a certain level of diversity is pretty good.

Take a look at the illegal tactics they are teaching:

You just follow what the popular media says about Poilievre. As I said, Canada is stuck with the Liberals because they’re scared of leaving their CBC mommy.

So @User is naive or dumb because you can't provide proof for the assertion that Trump forced her to give him the Nobel Prize?

He said it in a very ominous way too, like he wanted everyone to hear it and perhaps even to worry about it, which immediately made him look like a nervous Eisenhower warning the public about the military industrial complex while he still had a platform to do so. I can’t help but think that he knows a hard rain’s gonna fall. What I can’t discern is whether he’s really a victim or a proponent of the situation. I think he’s playing both sides of the fence. Keep China as an alternative market and leverage against the U.S. but check that Washington doesn’t disapprove to such an extent that Canada is further abused. He also probably thinks his international network offers potential protection and maybe Trump’s volatile threats will pass, but then what fills that power vacuum? I hope it’s not net zero globalist stakeholder capitalists.

He was admitted into the hospital, that's on the record and they've acknowledged that. And this is what he was reported to be treated for. If these aren't the injuries he was treated for then what was he treated for? And regardless of what it was he still got hit hard enough to have to go to the hospital to be looked at. So the answer to your question is not quite as gullible as you. Biatch hit him with a car, injured him bad enough to be treated at a hospital, and she deserved to be shot as she was acting in a violent and irresponsible fashion against the instructions of police You do seem like the kind that laughs at the idea of a police officer being injured. I'm sure that she and her girlfriend felt the same way. Right up until she got a bullet in the head. But hey, glad you're finding it funny

Why are you frightened of Poilievre?

as its evil twin

The fact she even gave it to him coerced or not means she is an absolute sucjhole hoping he'll intervene in Venezuela even more. The fact he took it shows he is a petty corrupt twat open to any form of bribery, corruption and praise. And after making more threats to more countries than any President in history (in less tha 1 year), nyone who even thinks Trump deserves and Peace Prize is off their f*cking rocker..

Indeed. the guy has international equity, accumulated over decades ........... and brother, Kanada needs international equity.

More lazy spam, from the lazy spambot troll.

You made nine points, or maybe better to say you talked about nine issues: two were police killings of black men, two were about indigenous relations in Canada, one about race riots, one is a characterization of the beneficiary of DEI... Not sure if you were just talking about non-white people here or maybe women and LGBTQ, one about the freedom convoy, a couple about terrorism. I really thought you were talking about DEI, not just general issues around relationships between races etc. Not only that, most of your examples are very recent. Dei, or affirmative action as I used to know it, has been around since I was a little kid... 60 years 65 years. I'm still unsure about how this program could be brought in as an organized conspiracy by people who want to bring down the nation. I feel like you're muddying the waters and just talking about everything. Maybe explain from the beginning how it started.... In the Kennedy administration... And then how it grew, how it changed? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diversity,_equity,_and_inclusion

Yeah. It's kind of obvious if you actually look around. Why did the Dems and their MSM accomplices pretend that M Brown was the 'Gentle Giant' for 3 months after the videos of him violently robbing that store came out? None of that rioting needed to happen. why did they pretend that G Floyd was the new 'Gentle Giant' when they knew about his violent past, and K Ellison had the bodycam footage under his thumb? None of that rioting needed to happen What divides the country more than manufactured race riots? "You can always get one half of the poor people to kill the other half". there are people who benefit from DEI, and they're the angriest, loudest, emptiest vessels in the room. They keep the hate going non-stop why did our gov't in Canada pretend that there was a genocide against 215 kids in Kamloops when they knew that never happened? why did our gov't insinuate that the the MMIW were all killed by white men, while that's the least likely scenario? why does our gov't constantly pretend that white men commit most of the terrorist attacks? It's absurd. You can only name 2 off the top of your head, and there were several islamic terrorist attacks here: they're only 1% of our population... why does our gov't like to pretend that conservatives commit the most acts of political violence? They don't even commit 1% of political violence. BLM easily did 10,000x the destruction of Jan 6thers. J6 was a few hours, with a few hundred people, and all they did was smash a few windows and bust 1 or 2 doors. BLM rioted for hours and hours, several days a week, in multiple cities, for years. Plus there's Antifa. And now there are the ICE riots. Leftists are rioting an awful lot, destructively, and this time it's to protect pedophiles. Why did the CBC try so hard to characterize the Freedom Convoy as destructive and violent, but never said that they were "in support of youths who are being forced to vaccinate"? They constantly put a positive spin on BLM riots, described the BLM protests and riots, describing them as "protesting anti-black violence"? After the Freedom Convoy left, months after they started, there wasn't a broken window or a McDonald's box laying on the ground. Leftists kill people and burn down buildings at their riots, that's an undeniable fact. out of time for now. there's way more...

Trump: Clintons have been subpoenaed Clintons: u first!

I stated that Carney had previously made a statement to the effect that oil and gas should remain in the ground, or at least the majority of it. The search engine answer did reply that Carney had in fact made that statement about oil, gas and coal. I also stated that Bill C69 had been nicknamed the 'no more pipelines' Bill and that is also true. If the things I post(which have been reported in some media outlets) offend you somehow, that's your problem, not mine. Not happening.

A pauper doesn't 'demand'? To use a phrase, 'Canada had no cards'? China took the opportunity to poke the U.S. in the eye .... I'd remind you that China doesn't 'elect' - there is no public pressure to do anything. China's 'win' was political, not economic. I'm sure you'd agree that Justin could never have negotiated like Carney - but then he was such a fool he wouldn't have wanted to.

Why?? The PM is the sharp end of party policy? There has been some changes since Justin had the door hit him on the a$$ Not to mention the fact that China could have been ..................... ungracious ........ but the chance to poke the U.S. in the eye was likely too great. ........ advantage; China.

........... supposedly a democracy is empowered with the vote? I think ur Prime Minister is courageous - a bold move politically. Surprising that he accomplished anything - were the planets aligned?

"In Canada, it is generally not allowed for job applications to ask for personal information regarding race, gender, or other protected characteristics. Such questions are prohibited because they can directly or indirectly lead to discrimination in the hiring process, violating human rights laws like the Canadian Human Rights Act and provincial human rights code" "Prohibited Topics Employers should not ask about the following in job applications or interviews: Race, Colour, Ancestry, or Ethnic Origin: Questions about your ethnic background, where you are from, or the origin of your name. Sex, Gender Identity, or Gender Expression: Questions asking if you are male/female, your gender identity, or your pronouns. Marital or Family Status: Whether you are married, divorced, or have children (including questions about future family plans). Age: Asking for your age or date of birth. Religion/Creed: What religion you practice or if you observe certain holidays."

It is funny how @robosmith could see all my posts until I posted definitive proof that Mr. Goldman was wrong. Then, magically, he just stopped responding.

Well at least you've got friends who enable your paranoid fantasies. Digging out your bunker yet?

Don't hold your breath, 'cause it'll make you blue!

49,000 vehicles = about 2% of auto sales in Canada per year. https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/global-automakers-grab-bigger-chunk-180859091.html "Vehicles made outside North America accounted for 34 per cent of Canadian monthly vehicle sales in August." Who's the threat?

Lol I think you are putting lipstick on a pig re: China. Any domestic comfort they enjoy has been on the backs of Western investment / technology / science Those with only a modicum of knowledge re: China's history would agree, that China has been akin to the rise of a Phoenix. I would rather have a stable albeit Communist country feeding 1.5 billion people than an unstable, nuc power with 1.5 billion starving people. Nixon and Kissinger deserve much credit (Pyrrhic?) - that said the alternative of locking China out of global economics would have without a doubt led to war.

1. So you feel that there is a cabal (organized group or unorganized let's say) who actively wish to do harm to their country's interests by weakening its institutions by elevating unqualified people ? Are they perhaps ASSISTED by people who think it's an actual good idea ? Or does anyone who supports DEI programs at any level KNOW it's a bad idea and just want to hurt their nation ? I'm trying to follow your logic here, to see how such a scheme could possibly be executed for decades without strong evidence coming out. 2. Yes, I get along great with everyone and the money is good. The way I see it, there are social "norms" that are just followed, but sometimes these get eroded... mostly by money. Trust and Loyalty is one of these. Although "trust" is just in the capacity of staying in a job and not jumping, even when it's in ones own interests. My sister once told me that she felt "company loyalty" was in decline. Her husband, my brother-in-law, had been in the same company for maybe 20 years, whereas I had skipped jobs every 1-2 years - which was normal. 3. I completely and utterly disagree. My favourite jobs were in analysis (can you tell ?) and strategy. May I ask what field you are in ? An old girlfriend was a physics genius, and she got a job with a large defense company I believe it was. They didn't have room for them, so they had to house them in part of a manufacturing facility. She said the plant employees were visibly hostile to her, a young woman, and her cohorts who seemingly just sat in a room and chatted around some whiteboard squiggles all day while they worked with their bodies, to the point of fatigue. And of course she made several times their salary. I'm reminded of Peter Fonda's speech in Easy Rider... wherein he talks about the townies hating the hippies because they reflected true freedom, versus buying and selling yourself on the market constantly. Which is what we all do. Unless we're retired of course...

He and his spokespeople said many times “military force” “is an option” and he was taking Greenland “whether they like it or not”, “the easy way or the hard way”. . These have all been extensively reported You honestly need quotes? Here is just SOME of many examples

A deal with China was always going to be painful. Overall, Carney probably hurt himself politically by hurting Ontario and helping farmers but that’s what he’s supposed to do - govern in the national interest for everybody including those who didn’t vote for him. Of course, Ford was always going to complain. Canada would a lot easier to run if we didn’t have 13 guys and gals who think they’re as important as the PM. BYD is already the biggest EV car maker in the world. We need to stay familiar with what they are producing and toughen our guys up because the competition is only going to get hotter. In a sane world we’d be working with the US, Europe, Japan etc to force China to revalue its currency and produce these goods at a fair rate but Trump has upended all that. He seems to have it in for us and Greenland far more than for China.

Here’s a question for you: why on earth did he accept it? He wasn’t forced to and no normal person would do that. How humiliating for a country to see your head of government do that.

So... you are just making up crap. You did not present this as if it were your subjective opinion, but a fact. You are a liar, as usual.

Here’s something similar - Knut Hamsun sending his Nobel medal to Joe Goebbels himself as a gesture of thanks for this meeting:

Yet if you READ the article it says it’s a continuation of a multi-year trend that started before Trump took office, 2023 and 2024 were the previous record years…you don’t credit Biden for that do you? Presidents don’t effect crime rates especially in their first year. Crime is driven by socio-economic conditions that develop over time.

Something Carney said "We take the world as it is, not as we wish it to be." comes about as close to one that's congruent with the times. Ironically enough it verges on bring unprincipled too given the fact we're bound to be stuck having to hold our noses a few times. I guess it'll be up to each consumer or supplier to place ethical premiums and discounts as they see fit. It's not like we haven't been doing that with other super-rogues. Now people just shit on one another for their economic choices. Tesla's, Stellantis, and BYDs will all be subject to being keyed and kicked.

We have traded with China for years. We sell them a lot of canola. With the Trump tariffs we must have trade agreements with China to increase trade to compensate for what the U.S. is harming.

No, YOU used the word immigrant instead of ILLEGAL. I responded to YOU. Then you go get someone else's quote. I can read just fine, you are just a dishonest clown.

You can't defend your positions because you don't know what you're talking about, because you're a low-information, low IQ dolt.

WE WON!! Federal government loses Emergencies Act appeal, court says use during convoy protest was unreasonable Paragraph 84: "Reports of violent incidents and threats of violence and arrest were "vague and unspecified." TRUDEAU AND THE MEDIA LIED TO YOU. Paragraph 88: "With respect to paragraph 2(b) of the Charter, the Federal Court found that the Regulations were overboard to the extent that they criminalized the entire protest and limited the right to expression of protesters who wanted to convey dissatisfaction with government policies. Accordingly, it determined that the freedom of expression of peaceful protesters who did not participate in the actions of those disrupting the peace was infringed." THIS PARAGRAPH IS VERY IMPORTANT BECUASE IT DESTROYS THE GOVERNMENT AND MEDIA NARRATIVE THAT THE CONVOY WAS TRYING TO "OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT". THIS WAS A PEACEFUL PROTEST. CASE CLOSED. Paragraph 93: "The Federal court found that these searches and seizures ( the freezing of bank accounts ) were unreasonable for the purpose of Section 8 of the Charter because the Economic Order failed to require reasonable grounds before a search was conducted. The RCMP superintendent who oversaw the implementation of the Economic Order confirmed on cross-examination that the RCMP required only bare belief before freezing accounts and accessing the underlying financial information. For the Federal Court, this failure to require some kind of objective standard breached Section 8." SO TRUDEAU AND FREELAND UNLAWFULLY USED THE RCMP TO CARRY OUT ILLEGAL SEIZURES AGAINST CANADIAN CITIZENS. IS IT ANY WONDER CANADIANS ARE DISTRUSTFUL OF THE RCMP AND THE LEADER OF THE OPPOSITION WAS RIGHT IN CALLING THE LEADERSHIP CORRUPT AND AN ARM OF THE CORRUPT GOVERNMENT. Paragraph 506: "In light of the above reasons (500 of them), we are of the opinion that the appeals by the AGC in ....listing of other appeals files the government wants to continue this fight..... should be dismissed...." THEY ARE WARNING THE GOVERNMENT TO STOP LITIGATING THIS ISSUE. ALL 3 JUDGES AGREED ON THIS RULING. IT WASN'T EVEN CLOSE.

Barely. Our trade with the US is 77%. Trade with China is 3.9%. Trade with the UK is 3.6% Carney is personally 98% in the US. If the US succeeds, he makes a 💩ton of money. If Canada succeeds, he loses money. I don't think it's a coincidence that everywhere he goes, Brookfield is there the week before or the week after.

woke up to amazing news china ev's tarrifs on canola oil down and crab and lobster deals with china. as someone who works in crab that's amazing news

How far do you go to make it equal, do we make sure skinny, fat people are fairly represented, what about disabled/ handicapped are they fairly represented, smart and mentally challenged, LGBTQ people and straight people are they fairly represented...We could go on and on.... Here is a idea how about we hire the best qualified for the job...instead of trying to correct mistakes from the past ( which we today have no control over) we level the playing field...Those companies or institutions that do not have a fair hire practices could be taken to court OH wait i think we already have laws about that today... You seem to think that white people seem to deserve to be over looked/ punished because of past injustices...done by people who are no longer in charge of anything... We all should be emotional about the topic, racism is racism....

ABC: Based on a sampling of preliminary crime statistics from 550 U.S. law enforcement agencies, the year is expected to end with a roughly 20% decrease in homicides nationwide, Jeff Asher, a national crime analyst, told ABC News. USAToday: For the first time in decades, net migration for the United States was likely negative in 2025, and the trend could continue amid President Donald Trump's aggressive immigration enforcement actions, according to a new think tank report. Looks like he did a fine job and the two articles seem to be related. I like how you take your own depravity and blame Trump for it. That takes some big balls to be that ridiculous.

That's the America Trump's trying to cure.

Fine for politics, but not game changing economic reality. Canada will continue to be reliant on majority export to the evil Americans for the foreseeable future, if only because existing trade infrastructure is set up to do so. The tariffs are not likely to survive after Trump, and talking about Canada First diversification is easier said than done...same for the Americans needing Canadian energy, softwood lumber, etc.) I saw a CBC story about polling Canadians on what the future mix should be for "jets" in the way of F-35 or Gripens, and the results varied widely, even by province. Must be the potential jobs employment factor, not military/mission requirements, as they seem to be a secondary consideration. Canada last built fighter aircraft in numbers under license from Northrop (Canadair CF-5/CF-116) over 50 years ago....retired by 1995. Good luck....

I will continue to speak up about government corruption, no matter who is in power. You think you can bully me and everyone else into shutting up, but you can't. Your powers as a downvote fairy don't have the impact you tell yourself they do. If you don't like Liberal corruption being discussed, then I suggest you don't come here. It's kind of the point of a political discussion board. The truth is, you just don't want Liberal corruption discussed. When and if the Conservatives ever get into power, you'll be here "whining and complaining" every day.
