This is just a big long juicy plaint ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_Toronto Toronto is cited as the sixth safest major city in the world and tops in North America. But your post is about you letting your feelings out, so just keep doing that.. I respect a good plaint 😥

Wait...you bit him on the ass?

The Sharias wanna ban doggies huh? Gee...what wonderful migrants. They are so...friendly...

Cities have a lot of traffic. I think. New York city put a hefty toll on cars coming on to Manhattan Island. It's not a sign of decline, as much as a sign of growth. Paying taxes and working is capitulation? Would you be proud if I went on welfare? You didn't ask for my help, that I offered it because I'm a nice guy. You're welcome but you're not welcome.

A top notch batch of knob-gobbling on your part, but it's not reflective of reality. There's a Tale of Two Trumps. 1. Trump did NOT turn Epstein in. He, allegedly, corroborated the abuse narrative to Palm Beach police after Epstein had already been arrested and after police were reaching out to Epstein's inner circle. 2. According to retired Palm Beach police chief Reiter, Trump said in 2006 “Thank goodness you’re stopping him, everyone has known he’s been doing this.” In other words, Trump (and the rest of "everybody) had that knowledge but chose to sit on it and let Epstein rape girls rather than contacting police and shutting him down. 3. Despite that 2006 conversation, in 2019 Trump claimed to have not known or have suspected his buddy's misdeeds. And of Maxwell, he said that he had met her many times and wished her well, "whatever it is." 4. Epstein should have been rotting in prison for two decades already, but in a truly inexplicable sweetheart deal, he was--sort of--imprisoned for 13 months. He had work release to his own offices 12 hours a day, six days a week. 5. The man who gave him that inexplicable, unbelievable deal? Alex Acosta, who Trump elevated to Secretary of Labor. 6. Trump's current AD, Bondi, was Florid AG for 8 years, and ignored victims please to bring new charges against Epstein, and has continued to ignore victims and slow-roll information that she claimed to have "on her desk" long ago. You want to paint Trump as some kind of do-gooder here, but he didn't do anything until after it was policially and socially advantageous to throw Epstein under the bus. Who knows how many rapes he could have prevented if he had actually turned in Epstein when he learned what Epstein was doing. But he chose not to. Trump, Epstein, Acosta and Bondi are all part of the same fetid Florida swamp.

I was trying to make the point that Alberta(the most screwed over province by far) is the highest per capita contributor to equalization despite the disparity in GDP size.

How old are you? Have you ever heard heard of the paperless office? Is this new thing from the 1980s. Look at your hands. I type on the same thing you do. That's my job.

Marvie. Im leaving.

Yes, he was on the right side of history. He didn’t want to trample people’s rights over the hysteria created by a virus, whose average age of death in Canada was 80+ years old, which is older than life expectancy. And we’ve already seen two federal courts rule that the emergencies act was implemented unlawfully. You and your ilk should be apologizing for your behaviour, not doubling down.

........odd how a Province advocating for independence, represented in Parliament by separatists, endorses language laws and shuns the so-called Constitution unless it suits, seems to have the power to make any Federal government pi$$ it's pants. Gentlemen it is not so much about money as it is POWER!

It seems like you look down on professions that actually add value. But I get it... Ditch diggers have clean souls right?

A very good column about how the political and media class have been pushing absurd ideas based on emotion, and then simply refusing to accept the evidence of their failure. Canada is not in crisis because it is under siege from hostile foreign powers. Nor is it a victim of some unavoidable global conspiracy or historical inevitability. Canada’s predicament is far more unsettling as it is largely self‑inflicted. The country is struggling because too many of its leaders — and too many citizens — are trapped in an acute and dangerous form of denialism about the nation’s vulnerabilities, its declining institutional capacity, and the cumulative consequences of decades of misguided political, economic, and social decisions. Denialism is not simply disagreement or optimism. It is the refusal to acknowledge evidence, trade‑offs, and limits. In Canada’s case, it has taken the form of moral certainty combined with policy recklessness, where good intentions substitute for results and dissent is dismissed as reactionary or immoral. This mindset has hollowed out the foundations of a country that was once confident, pragmatic, and capable of hard choices. Canada’s political architecture is weakening. Parliament’s role as a forum for genuine debate and accountability has diminished as power concentrates in the Prime Minister’s Office. Members of Parliament are increasingly reduced to party functionaries rather than representatives of their constituents. The Senate, composed of political appointees, offers symbolism rather than meaningful restraint. Courts are increasingly perceived as policymakers, while access to justice is impeded by cost and delay Overlaying all of this is a set of beliefs that, while passionately held by some, are corrosive to social order: the embrace of open borders without enforcement capacity; tolerance of rising crime; indifference to fraud and waste in government; hostility to economic self‑protection; failure to confront organized crime and drug trafficking; acceptance of overt political bias in media and universities; and the normalization of policies that undermine parental authority, women’s sports, religious freedom, and public decency. Individually debated, these issues are complex. Collectively ignored, they signal a governing class unwilling to draw boundaries. https://www.westernstandard.news/opinion/burton-canada-and-the-perils-of-denialism-are-canadians-prepared-for-the-fallout/70815

Ro Khanna takes the side of far left radical islamist Mamdani in his quest to ban dogs. Sad

In this forum, when people speak of "Canada" in English - they are largely speaking of Toronto. Pierre Trudeau understood this distinction. Canada is a much larger place

*Right forum this time...hehe Censure is not enough. This is way to far. The Secret Service needs to investigate and recommend prosecution for her intentionally calling for the execution of the President.

"Come on in! The Welfare is fine!"

That’s nebulous but since you insist. How much risk and what is the cost for abatement? See that’s the problem with the narrative, people don’t consider the total cost to be environmentally sustainable.

🤣 Oh man, no, SJW's are just plain mor-ons.

Sure, do everything you can to deflect from Trump's complicity. I'm sure pointing at Obama is the latest meme in your echo chamber.🙄 Lame. Meanwhile what actually happened... Acosta negotiated a Non-Prosecution Agreement with Epstein in 2007, before Obama ever took office, effectively giving him immunity. That was a shield against federal prosecution for Epstein and his accomplices. At that point, federal hands were tied. Bondi could have prosecuted additional at the state level, but did nothing. It wasn't until 2019 that an AG in NY successfully made the case that the NPA, as written, wouldn't shield Epstein from prosecution in districts outside of Florida. Why, you ask, did it take until 2019? Because the original case was sealed. Epstein's heinous crimes were whitewashed by Acosta, reduced to a fairly banal "soliciting a minor" charge, then sealed. So, for anyone not on the inside of that case, it was a small potatoes local case. Nobody was looking for more. Not until 2018, when the Miami Herald surfaced the story again. People were outraged. That's when it caught the nation's attention and the SDNY started testing the limits of the NPA. Here's a timeline, if you're not familiar. ‘No idea. I had no idea’ In the years after that call, Trump repeatedly said he had no knowledge of Epstein’s sex crimes. He has also claimed that he kicked Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago after he found out the financier was poaching spa club employees. In July 2019, when asked by reporters in the Oval Office if he had any suspicions about Epstein “molesting … underaged women”, Trump responded: “No, I had no idea. I had no idea. I haven’t spoken to him in many, many years.” Trump has also been less forthcoming about his feelings toward Maxwell in the years since. When asked in October 2020 how he felt about her when she was facing federal charges of helping Epstein recruit, groom and sexually abuse young girls, Trump said, “I just wish her well, frankly.” Trump Whitehouse Archives: Q Two questions, please. With regard to Jeffrey Epstein, did you have any suspicions that he was molesting young women, underaged women? THE PRESIDENT: No, I had no idea. I had no idea. I haven’t spoken to him in many, many years. But I had — I didn’t have no idea.

How much does Alberta pay to Ottawa from its provincial coffers? The answer is zero. Federal tax payers, wherever they live, pay for equalization through federal taxes. When did conservatives stop being able to do math or understand basic financial concepts?

When you say per capita, you're negating the size Thank you. There's no paper in offices anymore. 😐

Hysterical thinking was abundant long before COVID hit. As I've said before politicians and governments everywhere had to contend with, respond to, and speak for constituencies that had long since been filled with and steeped in mistrust, misinformation, fear, loathing and ideology. The authorities had more important things to do than molly-coddle their way through the resistance to the rational thinking the emergency called for. And in those jurisdictions where authorities did pander to their more gaslit constituencies, the death and sickness toll speaks for itself. I'm not surprised everyone made a few mistakes along the way. As it pertained to the convoy, not the pandemic. Shit happens.

1. Well you were the one comparing about being ripped off for parking so does it bother you or not? 2. No. I would never drive down there, I live here so I know better. 3. I don't know that it makes me happy or not. Kind of my duty as a Canadian I guess. 4. Fine. Just don't say I didn't try to help you. 5. Thank you, come again.

They need separate independent organizations who can investigate each other. They need access, with minimal delays, to financial records upon demand.

1. Pro tip there is a green P just across the street, South side of Queen Street. Do that. Next time. You are welcome. 2. It did not take 40 minutes to drive 500 m. 3. We pay your bills. Thank you, come again. Read it again. It's number one against North American sh1t holes.

robomarx is upset at Trump because he's a direct threat to their kill the U.S. agenda.

Gee...that's unfortunate...

Concur. Last year had make a visit to St. Mikes hospital for a checkup. Parking was $30 (if you could find any). Roadworks everywhere, took 40 minutes to drive 1/2 kilometer, potholes like Marianas Trench, no one could speak English. Total shithole. What more can you expect from a Liberal wasteland.

Saying we are conducting business... That just steps over the details of what actually has been done. In the next sentence you say, basically, corporations that have been engaging in global trade should go broke. This is not really a serious post actually.

Ah, so you're delusional too. Or does this just explain why you have so much invested in your hyperbole on 'Pride'? https://www.britannica.com/topic/pride-deadly-sin Pride, in Roman Catholic theology, one of the seven deadly sins, considered by some to be the gravest of all sins. AI Pride is considered the original and most serious of the seven deadly sins, defined as an excessive love of one's own excellence and a, often, unjustified belief in self-superiority. Characteristics: It manifests as arrogance, conceit, boasting, and a constant need for admiration. Looks like you're gonna burn in the fiery pits of sulphur for eternity! (Unless you repent. Maybe Blackbird can mentor you through the process, get himself another notch on the convert belt)

The United States had all sorts of problems before Trump. That's why he got elected in the first place. Namely, a government that had forgot that it served the people.

So how does it have a larger GDP than all of Alberta if it’s just paper shufflers? Are you denying reality and facts because they don’t fit your narrative?

But Abacus is no way shape or form the polling firm that shows the highest results for the conservatives He's starting to sound desperate. Why? I thought you weren't afraid of Poilievre? You sure spend a lot of time sounding afraid of them for someone who's not afraid of

Getting desperate? You tend to get desperate the more a debate goes on. I just talk reality. That is all my man. You switched to this red herring topic qhen you couldn't defend the obvious threat on the POTUS's life. I just trashed this argument too because you clearly gave up on the first loser of an argument you made.

Disappointing hockey teams.

@robosmith and his Libbie pals are just mad because they see ICE deporting illegal votes.

She would not have started knee-jerk trade wars, done lasting damage to international relationships, what caused corporations to pause investments due to instability. I've seen evidence of all of these things. It's not much of a discussion, but we're having one.

So we can spend a half billion on him having 100% freedom to destroy Canada instead of just 98% freedom?

Quote from Abacus "This is remarkable! If you've followed political polling in Canada, you'll know that Abacus is the one firm that consistently shows the highest public favourability of the Conservatives, who have been neck-and-neck with the Liberals since the election in their polls. Not anymore! Poilievre' is a downwards drag on his party's popularity- for which we thank him for!"

Your "evidence" is woke hysterics, therefore, it's dogshit. The only real terrorist presense in this country is the subhumans you cultists waved in here.

Trump is better than Heels up Harris and that's all anyone needs to know.

Ukraine was recognized as an independent country by the U.N. on Dec 2, 1991. This recognition was affirmed by a majority of Ukrainians. What more needs to be said? You seem to be to blaming the victim and not the aggressor? Ukraine has every right to defend it's sovereignty .......... and the determination to not wanting to live under the jackboot of an authoritarian regime? Israel I'm sure, listening to arguments criticizing Ukraine's right to exist must experience a feeling of deju vue?

Treebeard is right... "The Greater Toronto Area (GTA) is Canada's economic engine, with a GDP estimated around CA$522 billion (2022) to over $430 billion for the city proper (2020), representing approximately 20% of Canada's total GDP" " Alberta's economy is showing strong growth, with nominal GDP projected to have risen by 4.8% to 5.3% in 2024, following a robust performance in 2023 . GDP at basic prices reached approximately $352.1B in 2024"

Well well well looks like your woke crusader Ro Khana is a pervert who appears in the Epstein files.

You have no lessons to give to others, you are fundamentally a people of slavers and have just killed a million people in Iraq, and the war in Ukraine that caused 2 million deaths was organized by your politicians corrupted by the arms industry. What did your bombs do in Gaza? Would you tell me?

invention of Iran and Qatar and Jew-haters in the West, and has no basis in reality.

Everything was destroyed in Berlin too, and Tokyo. That's what happens when you fight a war and lose and refuse to surrender, you barely literate imbecile.

Thanks for the cherry-picking and lies. FYI if there was really a "Naqba" in the 1940s it was in Pakistan in 1947, which was instantl forgiven by the entire muslim word... There were 2,000x as many Sikhs and Hindus killed as there were muslims killed in Israel in 1948. FYI Jews were being massacred all across the ME for centuries before 1948, with zero back-and-forth.

There's a lot to be said for keeping your nose out of things.

Avoided a leader that fills his diaper in public like a 2 year old, that's what. Threatens people umpteen times a day while he shits himself and you still respect the pig?
