When I see decent people treated this way, and when it tracks with many other stories I’ve heard recently about how harsh and insensitive the US has been towards foreigners and even some of its own citizens, I can’t help wondering if the US really has declined, and I’m saying this as a conservative and long-time visitor to the US. Maybe places like Panama or Costa Rica are where I should be retiring and it’s time to sell the place in Florida. https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/article/canadian-detained-at-alligator-alcatraz-for-owing-us12000-in-back-taxes/

How many more years.... At least until November 2029. And again, I did not support them for the past 11 years. How many more chances... this one for sure. How about you... obviously been a down decade for you with at least another 4 years to go. 15 years of getting worked up and bîtching all day isn't good for your health though. Maybe join a gym and burn off that pent up anger so your mind can function better than it is. Just a thought...

He championed it in his campaign for PM. Boomers didn't hear about it because you only listen to CBC. I know. You should do more thinking and less commenting.

Also good for the local oil and gas folks down in Texas

We can chew gum and walk at the same time. Trump is fixing the mess folks like you have chosen to ignore and let fester for decades.

Hopefully Smith can explain to the people she wants to run a pipeline through their backyard that this was an outlier. No way could this ever happen on the BC coast... Imperial Oil pipeline spills 843,000 litres northwest of Cold Lake, Alta. Company apologized for incident in written statement to CBC News

I agree to an extent. It's the ones who had and kept a tight friendship with Epstein, even after he was convicted of procuring minors for the purposes of prostitution that make me wonder. That would end a friendship for me. But I'm a "loon", apparently. 🤣

Give him credit... He had a lot more going on than just starting a new party. He was busy impersonating a police officer, allegedly, and was actually convicted of something: Patron has been convicted of other offences, including wilfully promoting hate in 2022, after he called for the genocide of Jewish people in a video posted on the party's website and social media accounts. Why would you waste bandwidth with a post that leaves the casual Observer to think he's being persecuted for starting a new party? There are lots of other things to post about.

Based on Pewresearch, less than 50% of Canadians has a positive view of America.... if that's so why hasn't Canada severed its ties with America yet? "Oh I hate you and I've got a lot of complaints about you but I might need you so I'll stick with you." Doesn't that make Canadians hypocrites? I don't understand, can somebody please make me understand....

Yeah well, exiting the US can trigger a $600k tax bill so there you go. Obviously another failure of commyism - still well worth fleeing in either case right?

The algorithms only spook feed Conservatives. (whatever spook feed is.) Only Liberals get unbiased news. They pay big dollars for it.

He just provided you with examples... and thinks logical fallacies are fake news... one of dem things elitist intellectuals who passed Grade 9 invented/

The dude's eyes are cartoon blue. He must be telling the truth!

Is this a joke? You are the most worthless poster on this forum. -You hide like a coward from me and who knows how many others. -Even the ones you don’t hide from you run from in a discussion -You do little more than exactly what you did here, you are lazy and post videos to create these trolling spam threads with very little input of your own if any at all -You are the most pathological liar on the forum

Every article based on any objective measures will point to American trade policy/tariffs being the main reason for the downturn in Canada’s economy. It’s going to be painful for years to come. To claim otherwise is delusional. As if we can tweak some red tape and Canada will be back on the economic track that it had been. Pure rightwing fantasy.

Why the hell would you even insinuate that the Pope wants Iran to have nukes? You gonna swallow every drop of Trump BS just because you hate Catholics, or because you're a Maple MAGA?

All parties have good and bad policies. Life is just that. In Life you take the good with the bad, making yourself sick over politics is another thing entirely. None of this will matter when your dead. Relax. life is too short to focus one only the things you disagree with or that bug you. Jus sayin...

I comment on a lot of posts. Yours are generally pulled out of your âss to suit your mindless theories so I usually look, laugh and depending on the mood, may or may not comment.

It took him a year to figure out Trudeau was no longer in power and then another year to figure out we have a trade problem with the US tariffs. It was great to see him have this epiphany and champion free trade with the US, albeit a year late. Enjoy him, because he'll be gone soon.

Cite again the specific policies advised and acted on. Maybe I commented... ? But very well may have been as simple as saying you're a whack job.

No, I'm not as gullible and naive as you. China is a developing country that still needs to rely on conventional energy. They also lead the world, by far in clean energy investment https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-clean-energy-drove-more-than-a-third-of-chinas-gdp-growth-in-2025/ https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-chinas-clean-energy-exports-in-2024-alone-will-cut-overseas-co2-by-1/

There you go again... can't stop bîtching about the past. Is your constant complaining just about politics, or is it a way of life for you? You have a problem with China, but not if we're supplying oil, right. You also seem to forget your long gone hero's position on China - During a visit to Beijing in February 2012, Harper stated that "Canada has reached a number of extremely important milestones in the development of our strategic partnership with China". https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/harper-s-strategic-partner-china-yields-investment-deal-1.1137462#:~:text=One concluded negotiations for a,of priorities for the partnership.

Cite these advising so-called facts.

Poilievre on CPAC right now. Again. For those of you who keep saying he has no plan or platform.

Here you go - Incident report lacks info: ecologist Timoney, the ecologist, said the AER incident report is lacking information, which is common. “You’re left guessing,” he said. For example, there’s no information on the length of the spill, nor the environment where the spill happened, whether it was a forest, wetland or waterbody. Timoney noted that some ecosystems are more sensitive to spills than others. There’s also little breakdown on what was in the spill, such as the concentration of bitumen or saltwater, he said. This particular spill included saltwater, which Timoney said is often “far more toxic than the oil or bitumen." Oil and bitumen can break down, but salt lasts forever, he said. “These saline spills are extremely serious." The AER spokesperson said any non-compliance penalties, if warranted, will be posted publicly on the agency's compliance dashboard. No, your link from 2008 doesn't interest or bother me at all. It's not an argument that wind turbines are one of the cleanest and most cost-effective ways we have of producing electricity. It's also not an argument that they play a key role in reducing carbon emissions. But back to your link from 8 years ago... surprisingly things have changed since then and ~90% of the turbine is recyclable and added into cement or repurposed for infrastructure materials for bridges, playgrounds, etc. The blades are still a challenge for landfills but that will be figured out at some point. Carbon emissions won't. You also don't pay a lot of attention... I care very much about the environment and what it will look like long after I'm gone. Not sure if I've talked about wind turbines as a specific subject, but am all in for transitioning our grid to clean and renewable energy, like China has been doing. You keep referring to the MSM.... Do you have any idea of how foolish you come across with the posts from your equally mindless X friends?

Turbine blades can be recycled by grinding and mixing the results into concrete. Newer blades are also being designed and made of materials that can be recycled more easily at the end of their life. The industry is obviously moving in the right direction.

Talk about the mess. The only real negative I'm seeing is high fuel costs, and you know that's temporary.

It's clear you're not able to separate reality from your imagined world, but Carney is not Trudeau, nor is his governing. You sit around and bîtch day in and day out about the Trudeau years, which obviously makes you feel better. Why don't you do something useful with what fraction of mind you have and rather than always looking backwards, look forward.

Psychiatric Morbidity Among Adolescents and Young Adults Who Contacted Specialised Gender Identity Services in Finland in 1996–2019: A Register Study Gender-referred adolescents showed significantly higher psychiatric morbidity than controls both before (45.7% vs. 15.0%) and ≥ 2 years after referral (61.7% vs. 14.6%). Those referred after 2010 had greater psychiatric needs than earlier cohorts, both before (47.9% vs. 15.3%) and ≥ 2 years after (61.3% vs. 14.2%) referral. Among adolescents who underwent medical gender reassignment, psychiatric morbidity increased markedly during follow-up—rising from 9.8% to 60.7% in feminising gender reassignment and from 21.6% to 54.5% in masculinising gender reassignment. After adjusting for prior psychiatric treatment, all gender-referred adolescents had similarly elevated risks of psychiatric morbidity, with hazard ratios approximately three times higher than female controls and five times higher than male controls. ********** This study reinforces what I have always said. Trans people have a mental health issue, that is why their suicide rate is so high before surgery. This also shows that the left's, feel-good, let-them-do-what-they want approach is devastatingly bad. Six in ten committing suicide is far beyond unacceptable. The one in ten suicide rate is way beyond acceptable. Can we finally start dealing with this issue the way it needs to be dealt with?

Yeah but that was Harper, here is PP's Non- achievements LOL https://pierresrecord.ca/ https://cupe.ca/pierre-poilievre-it-banks-billionaires-and-big-polluters-not-you

Actually, your guy Harper spent the least of any PM as a percentage of GDP the on military. Stephen Harper's government limited military spending to roughly 1% of GDP, the lowest in Canadian history, primarily to balance the federal budget, cut nearly $5 billion since 2012, and manage a dysfunctional procurement system that could not spend allocated funds, leading to nearly $10 billion in underspending. Despite "tough" rhetoric and the initial Afghanistan-era boost, spending was cut to focus on reducing national debt. CBC +5 Key factors for reduced spending included: Fiscal Restraint and Deficit Reduction: Following the costly Afghanistan mission, the Conservatives implemented the Strategic Review and Deficit Reduction Action Plan (DRAP), cutting 400 positions and reducing overall defense funding. Procurement Failures: Major procurement projects, such as ships and aircraft, faced massive delays, causing the Department of National Defence to return funds to the Treasury rather than spending them. Failed Procurement Projects: Projects for Navy destroyers and replacements for aging equipment (like the CF-18s) stalled or failed, leaving the military with aging, "clapped out" gear. Shift in Focus: The government shifted from a focus on combat in Afghanistan to administrative and logistical constraints, which reduced the immediate demand for high-cost operational funding.

The last American car I owned was a Chev Celebrity in the previous century. The rear axle snapped while I was turning off the TCH, fortunately at low speed. I’ve been buying Japanese and Korean cars ever since. First thing I noticed about the Camry - it was better in snow without snow tires than the Chev was with them.

Look at the mess they created last time Canadians gave them a chance

The second I was able. :)

So you have no proof. A lot of 'prayer' is just selfishness: "Oh, big man in the sky, let me win a lottery.' 'Oh, Giant Invisibleness, cure my cancer." In those cases a lot of people are disappointed and therefore worse off for 'praying'. Pete Hegseth's prayers are actually evil. "Give them... overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy." A lot of prayer is really meditation, repeating learned prayers. Meditation actually clears the mind of desires and stress, thereby focusing and sharpening the mind.

Something is going on there with the Hungarian guy...... Did the EU get duped? He announced he is not only keeping the border wall, he's reinforcing it. He went on the government paid for national broadcaster and not only told them off, live, on air, he told them he was shutting them down. He announced he's not going to do about 90% of what the EU tells him to do.

Sorry to throw cold water on your circle jerk, but what's got you all hot and bothered is half false and half bullshit. Literally, the original whistleblower complaint clearly stated that it was second hand information. This is not secret or new news. And whistleblower protection has always included hearsay. There was no secret rule change. -- And, by the way, this is also the standard anywhere in corporate America. And internal communications evaluating and debating the quality of the complaint are not nefarious. Rather, it's an example of the process working exactly as it should. And none of it changes the fact that Trump tried to trade weapons and aid for campaign aid from a foreign official. As always, Trump selling out America and Americans for his own personal gain.

Keep running like the evil coward you are. Hopefully, we can continue to push you depraved people into hiding so we can save the children and women from the madness you are pushing on them.

Most of those, if not all, have been arrested.

I think a lot of the Con partisans absolutely lost their $hit after the Libs won another election. They saw their party up 20 pts and thought this was it and when the rug was pulled out, their heads exploded and they’re still in a rage. They hate the Libs more than they like Canada, so now Canada itself doesn’t deserve to be defended by these people.

Imagine if a SWAT team showed up at the homes of the VIOLENT criminals that knocked that TPUSA reporter down the other day, and pointed 17 AR's in their faces... "OMG TRUMP IS NAZI!!!!" But it was the Biden DoJ so 👍😎🥰

Go look up the word lackey... You clearly don't know what it means. FYI Rosemary Barton is a "lackey": she carries the mail for known grifters and traitors. Ditto for Schumer, Pelosi, CNN, CBC et al. Dershowitz is a lifelong Democrat supporter who's merely relating facts that trigger your confirmation bias. /lesson

DOJ paid more than $1 million in settlement to anti-abortion protester — after a federal judge tossed his suit Abortion opponents celebrated news of the settlement, while career prosecutors said it’s another example of Donald Trump’s DOJ kowtowing to once-prosecuted abortion opponents. Meanwhile Trump is trying to collect $10.23B from the US taxpayers for alleged IRS malfeasance and compensation the search warrant on Mar-a-Lago. Might as well change the name TO Dept of INJUSTICE because they are ILLEGALLY throwing away taxpayer money for political purposes.

Other than what you can afford, I'm not sure what the definition of affordable is but the average price of home's in Edmonton and Winnipeg are in the ~$400K range with Calgary ~$550K. In any books that's a lot of money but compared to the Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal.... inexpensive.

Check it out.... The critter is now counting your downvotes, complaining about insults, and suggesting that posts here should actually have redeeming qualities; like a measure of dignity and value added. - How does: YUK YUK YUK HA HA HA LOL LOL LOL Too late loser. LMAO HA HA HA - measure up to this newfound "leadership by example" epiphany there Chief? Now.... get busy and down vote that CWO Flybaby. There's extra points for following direction in it for ya.

................. Kanada would have to be crazy to buy into this con. Seriously what would the Golden Dome be protecting??? Let me guess, the US? Kanada would be the intercept area ........... considering the geo-footprint, likely no harm dome. lol No, totally crazy and a total waste of Kanadian defense (tax payer) dollars. oh yeah, where would the hardware be purchased? Kanada to the US is the intercept area ......... with the dome or without it. Let them waste their tax-payer dollars - to build any Kanadian aegis - it benefits the US strategically, financially. oh, Kanada. China is nutz to butz with the US, despite the rhetoric, Europe should have no concerns with Russia. The US is the power running scared and with Trump in control the US has legitimate concerns. Trump is a coward, no negotiation skills - x10 his head shop - he is a global concern but more importantly a domestic concern ......... his legacy will make the US far less of a global power.

No it isn't, it is vastly left of Tommy Douglas and Ed Broadbent Tommy Douglas thought healthcare should be universal and gov't' run. That's pretty left-wing. Avi thinks that grocery stores should be universal and gov't run. That's WAAAAY more left wing, pretty much communist.
