.......... contrary to political rhetoric, data centers do not create large scale employment, (construction notwithstanding) People are concerned about the incredible demand on energy - the demand is enormous and expect to get more so - enough energy to sustain a 1000000 homes - who pays? U pay! Water for cooling .......... is another concern. All that being said, data center construction is akin to having a dump in ur back yard? Necessary, but not in my backyard? There is little community gain? Technology might be slowed, but it can never be stopped. China doesn't seem to suffer from the peasants concerns.

I honestly don't care about crap like this Hilary is an old lady who NEVER be President, all shes doing now is waiting for Satan to take her.

Nope, you don't have a clue.

I love these videos - they expose the lunatics and psychos on the Left better than most. Very informative indeed. This thread will be for posting these videos, for all of your enjoyment, as we continue to laugh at fools like Robo, and enjoy their clownish and stupid behavior.

Iranians get back online, to some extent Authorities cut off internet access during massive demonstrations in January and imposed a complete internet blackout after the U.S. and Israel attacked on Feb. 28. This is a good sign that Iran is done.

Anyone not in favour of datacenters that gobble up as much electricity and fresh water as a medium sized town while putting thousands out of work must be an unAmerican commie.

That was extremely well-written. I think you peaked in 2024 😂 J/K

@robosmith: Here's what an actual discussion about an actual cult looks like. Start off with videos or articles that provide a reasonable amount of proof to open a topic, then have a discussion about the indisputable facts presented therein. Maybe say things like: "Normal people don't go to scream at clouds parties, or bring emotional support animals to school just because their fave candidate lost an election, but these types of juvenile activities are considered mainstream by Demonrats" or "Demis shriek things that they know to be false, yet somehow feel to be true, and they react viciously to verified information from reliable sources, if it runs contrary to their programming."

As Ebola spreads, Canada to require 21-day isolation for those from region - National | Globalnews.ca I seem to remember being told when we did that with China during COVID that it was racist. Magically now it's a great idea Any of you lefties care to chime in about what a horrible racist idea it is to ban flights or travel from a region due to illness? No? Hmmmmm The hypocrisy on the left is astounding.

She's no fan of the Ayatollahs.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rita_Panahi Gabriella Power and her "Power Hour" are pretty good too.

Are YOU a FOREIGN ACTOR out to push American workers into poverty by replacing their jobs with AI, increasing their costs of energy, and destroying their houses with destructive storms such as the near record tornadoes in 2026?

On the plus side, all of the seasonal Canadian helicopter pilots who, back in the day, responded to those bogus job adds (meant only to obtain a favourable LMO) won't feel tortured about it anymore... they can now drive their dump trucks in peace. I used to send those ads, a copy of my resume and covering letter to the Labour Minister when they came out... as did hundreds of others BTW. It was something of a letter writing protest. He'd always authorize the LMO anyway though.

No donkey. You've just admitted that you don't care how much Trump lies, which is a remarkably self-defeating statement for someone trying to criticize anyone else for supposed dishonesty. The reality is that you live in a delusional clownworld where the veracity of statements is based on whether you like what you're hearing, and little else.

Does your mom have to wipe your ass, too? It's the one that has "17 million deaths" in the title. 🙄 I suggest you check out some of his other papers. That's why I gave you the link to the body of his work. 2024-12-07 Did the C19 vaccine kill 17 million Yes but how Not what you think - Denis Rancourt They knew. Look, I'm sorry they lied to you and I'm sorry you fell for it. Do better next time.

Nobody ignored you and I repeated myself because you weren't listening. A fact proven by the fact that you asked me to repeat myself yet again Your own quote demonstrates that they presented the idea to the public that these were safe as any vaccine and that it was known that the risk was tiny. Both of those statements are false and they knew that at the time because they knew the testing wasn't as rigorous as a normal vaccine and they knew there was a great deal of possibility for side effects that had not been identified as product have never been used wide scale. Those are simple facts I have literally defined what I'm talking about and what I'm expecting in precise language. Stop being so dishonest. We can have a difference in opinion without you trying to break out bullcrap and lies to support your position. I am well aware you're smarter than that As I have said many times above my expectation would have been that they would be honest with people. What I am talking about is the fact that they weren't honest with people and that they frequently radically downplayed the risks while knowing that the evidence did not support that conclusion, therefore when they tell the public that it's as safe as any other vaccine they are knowingly stating something that is untrue. Therefore they are not substantially warning the public about the risks involved. Let me try this another way. If i told you That it was okay to drink and drive because while there was a slim chance it might increase your risk of an accident that increase is absolutely tiny and negligible and not significantly higher than you drinking normally, that would be dishonest woudn't it. You would not say that i gave you a substantially correct evaluation of the risks. If you then drank and drove and got into an accident, a court would likely find that i bore responsibility for not warning you about the risks This is the same. As your link pointed out, they downplayed the risk to a level that was unreasonable given their knowledge. That means the public was not adequately warned about the risk. I have been 100% clear about that So when you say I haven't provided that information previously that is absolutely dishonest of you. Knock it off. You want me to show you the quote that you provided? Are you kidding me? Are you saying you did NOT post this? Dr. Theresa Tam, Canada’s Chief Public Health Officer, issued the following statement today: "Like any medication, vaccines can cause side effects and reactions. After being vaccinated, it's common to have mild side effects, such as redness and swelling at the injection site — this is the body's natural response, as it's working to build immunity against a disease. In most instances, these effects resolve quickly and completely. However, it is also possible for someone to have a serious adverse reaction to a vaccine. " You're a fcuking liar kid. I don't mind honest debate and disagreement but now you're just lying your ass off because you're butthurt you're losing. Shame on you A coward plays the "sea lion" game, a coward claims he wasn't provided with details that were clearly provided, you are fast becoming a lying sack of shit coward. I HAVE made my position clear, I HAVE provided my own quotes to prove the point and i've pointed out the quotes which YOU NOW DENY YOU POSTED EVEN THO EVERYONE CAN SEE IT. At this point we're done with the debate, I'm just going to sit here and make fun of you and your replies for the amusement of myself and others. That was absolutely pathetic of you. The government Failed to warn the public of the risks and any significant or meaningful way and they failed to stand behind the people who got sick from their mistakes, and this is exactly what people were afraid of. Cope with it

Juan's at the kids' table so no, he can't.

That too. It's stunning how endless propaganda just straight wears people down. Most democrat voters have been reduced to mindless sheep.

I have to vote Democrats because they do not produce beneficial results at all...yet howl about policies that are beneficial. They're insane.

I have absolutely no doubt that's what the left thinks like And the rules are ones you just made up this second to support your argument

Well no surprise here, this one is a no-brainer. Everyone knew this was coming the only question was when were they going to announce it and would this be the big CANSEC announcement this year. There are still more projects ready pop, too. The Future Fighter Lead In Trainer is apparently almost ready to be announced any time That is the advanced fighter jet trainer. My bet is the Italian Leonardo M-346 Master but there are a couple of other good contenders. And the army has a big land vehicle combat simulator apparently ready to be announced soon. Subs will announced as early as June, like 4 weeks from now, MANY MANY YEARS ahead of schedule.

Not ironic at all...Sweetie. I've always known...even before Trump's first presidency...that he's outspoken, unpolished and will say anything to his benefit. What you dont understand is... I...DON'T CARE. 'WhY'? You ask? Simple...Ya see...I and millions and millions of others, know that in the USA, the alternative is TONS worse. Lol...you silly little farts don't get beat by the Republicans. You beat yourselves.

This is why Tim Hortons Canada no longer requires Temporary Foreign Worker Program, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗴𝗼𝘁 𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗜𝗠𝗣 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀 as Canada broke all previous quarterly records for Work Permits approvals. Mark Carney is lying to you. In the first 90 days of 2026, Canada issued 292,855 work permits, smashing the full-year target of 220k–230k. 247,895 under IMP (International Mobility Program) 44,960 under TFWP Why employers love the IMP: It’s a much cheaper, faster, and easier alternative to the TFWP. Key Financial & Practical Benefits of IMP (vs TFWP): No LMIA required Saves $770+ per worker (no $1,000 LMIA fee) No mandatory job advertising to Canadians Much faster processing (weeks vs months) Lower compliance costs — only $230 employer fee Fewer obligations around housing, wages, and recruitment More flexible permits for workers (easier to retain staff) This is exactly why companies like Tim Hortons and many in hospitality/retail have shifted heavily to IMP workers. It’s faster, cheaper, and bypasses most of the strict labour market tests required under the TFWP.

Are you one of those people who is completely IGNORANT about what RFKj has been doing and saying? Record measles out break on HIS WATCH.

See, Q-Anon style craziness isn't reserved for trailer parks and incels. It can infect rich people too.

Ottawa picks Sweden’s Saab early-warning aircraft tech over U.S. contenders Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada has entered into negotiations to buy Swedish-made Saab early-warning aircraft technology, picking a non-U.S. supplier as he makes good on a promise to reduce spending on American military gear. Mr. Carney announced the selection at the annual CANSEC defence trade show in Ottawa Wednesday. He said Canada will proceed with the Swedish GlobalEye system, made by Saab. Other contenders were the Aeris X by L3Harris and the E-7 Wedgetail by Boeing. The GlobalEye early-warning system will be installed on Global 6500 jets made by Bombardier in Canada. Mr. Carney told the CANSEC audience this was the first time a prime minister had spoken at the annual trade show, saying the assumptions that have defined decades of Canadian defence policy have been overturned. The United States has grown more protectionist and unpredictable under President Donald Trump, forcing Canada to grow more self-reliant. Airborne Early Warning and Control aircraft, often referred to as flying radars, are needed to track incoming threats in an era where Canada is worried about hypersonic and cruise missiles from countries such as Russia and China. “Saab and Bombardier’s expertise is transforming a modern jet into a cutting-edge surveillance aircraft,” Mr. Carney said in his speech. “With its suite of advanced sensors and mission systems, Saab’s GlobalEye will be a key resource for the Canadian Armed Forces to detect and deter threats across the Arctic.” Mr. Carney has repeatedly promised to reduce Canada’s spending on U.S.-made military gear. “The days of our military sending 70 cents of every dollar to the United States are over,” he said most recently at the Liberal Party’s convention in April. He noted the Saab technology is also the product of choice for Canadian partners, including France, Sweden and the UAE. Mr. Carney declined to say whether picking Saab’s early-warning technology is a sign that Canada will also end up buying the Swedish company’s Gripen fighter jets. His government announced last year it’s reconsidering buying the full order of U.S.-made F-35 fighters amid rising protectionism from Washington. He said Canada will take a decision “after proper deliberation and taking into account all the considerations, first and foremost operational requirements, of the Canadian Forces and secondly, the broader industrial benefits and true partnerships we can strike.” While the Bombardier 6500 aircraft are built in Canada, the Prime Minister acknowledged they have about 20 per cent U.S. content. As part of the Saab deal, Canada will build Bombardier 6500 jets for early-warning and control air aircraft orders from other countries, Mr. Carney said. This will support more than 3,000 jobs in Canada’s aerospace sector, he said. At least one-third of the planned GlobalEye aircraft fleet will be produced in Canada over the next 15 years, he said. This represents at least 40 aircraft, including export orders for other countries, built by Canadian workers. GlobalEye’s airborne surveillance capability can track objects and signals up to 650 kilometres away, and will rapidly share information to the Canadian Armed Forces, Mr. Carney said. … His government has boosted defence spending quickly in what experts have said is the largest short-term injection since the Korean War. Mr. Carney’s November, 2025 budget announced more than $80-billion over five years with commitments to spend even more to meet at new NATO commitment to spend 3.5 per cent of Canada’s Gross Domestic Product on the military. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-canada-military-aircraft-sweden-saab/

Oh noes he is going to lose the next Presidential election. Oh wait Here is what will happen, he may lose the House and perhaps the Senate and for the next 2 years there will be impeachment after impeachment and investigations where nothing gets done by the legislature but as Obama once said Trump still has a pen and phone. He will keep doing things that will make you angry. Trump WILL remain President until his term is up. You will keep putting up stupid videos from your various Facebook friends. For the last 12 years you all have run on a platform of Orange man bad and that is it. After this election what will you have to run on? Who do you have to run that isn't severely flawed?

Case in Point. 😏

Didn't they just say they would use the general rules of decorum that I said I would follow? I feel like most people would just follow this path. As @August1991 says ... we get along.

In what way do they "own" thousands of square miles of land and why should anyone have to consult with brown skinned people because they settled 100s of KMs away? Pretty stupid logic

You seem to be completely ignorant of Trump's record low polling on job approval now. Are you wearing your partisan blinders again. LMAO

Much Bullshit you post ^here because that's all you got. LMAO

And it's hard to figure out what they want... which no doubt makes governing the critters thirsty work. Right now they're mad at city leaders for giving them exactly what they voted for: https://www.foxnews.com/us/terrified-residents-crime-plagued-blue-city-throw-giant-barricades-stop-chaos They voted to defund the police (and did to the tune of about 600) but now they want police protection; just do a rough training assessment of how long it will take (and how much it will cost) to get back to where they once were... which was under manned. They wanted open borders... but now they're erecting barriers to keep out the people they let in. They wanted easy bail but now they want law and order. They wanted to be a sanctuary city but now want financial assistance to deal with what a sanctuary city really is. They sound like teenage girls who drop out of high school to shack up with their 30 year old boyfriends. Maybe the solution (and the shortest way through this) is to just give them what they ask for until they scream UNCLE. Sometimes only painful experience provides an answer to "WTF did you think was going to happen" questions.

While the national average is comparable, local economies fluctuate significantly. Ontario, the provincial unemployment rate is around 7.5%, which is noticeably higher than the 6.5% to 6.9% levels recorded across the province during the latter half of 2015. Long-Term Unemployment: The labour market has been dealing with "slack," meaning long-term unemployment has risen. A notably larger percentage of unemployed Canadians are out of work for 27 weeks or more compared to pre-pandemic periods. Population Growth & Participation: The number of people searching for work is much higher. While job numbers have grown, rapid population growth means a larger share of Canadians are competing for available roles.

Your bong must be hot.

Why Trump keeps getting rolled in negotiations Donald Trump’s reputation as a dealmaker has always been exaggerated, and his attempts to end the conflict in the Middle East show why he’s vulnerable to being outsmarted by opponents. Donald Trump’s reputation and political career were built on his dealmaking prowess, yet the president keeps demonstrating that he is a terrible negotiator. Repeatedly over the past nine years, Trump has gotten rolled by counterparts during high-stakes exchanges. North Korea, Russia, Russia again, China, and China again have gotten the better of the United States. Trump has had to slink back to Washington without much to show except empty talk about friendship with whatever dictator has just run circles around him. He’s had some success in brokering agreements when acting as a third party (though not nearly as much as he pretends) but much less luck when his own government is a participant. The one glaring exception came when he was effectively negotiating with himself, getting his own administration to set up a $1.8 billion slush fund for his political allies. The newest example of Trump’s artlessness is Iran. Let’s review the past few days: Trump postedon Saturday that he was close to striking a deal with Tehran that would end the war he started earlier this year and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. As the outlines of the agreement began to emerge, it looked both incomplete and bad: Trump had postponed discussing the hardest issues—matters, such as nuclear weapons, that led him to go to war—in exchange for opening the strait, which was open before Trump started the war. Hawkish Trump allies promptly criticized the deal, and despite histrionic pushback from Trump aides, the president had begun backing off claims of an imminent agreement by Sunday. “If I make a deal with Iran, it will be a good and proper one, not like the one made by Obama,” he posted. “Our deal is the exact opposite, but nobody has seen it, or knows what it is. It isn’t even fully negotiated yet.” Yesterday, in a sign that a deal might not be near at all, the U.S. military conducted what it called “self-defense strikes” against Iranian targets—directly contradicting the administration’s previous claims about having wiped out any threats to the United States in Iran. The situation demonstrates a few reasons that Trump is such a bad negotiator. My colleagues Tom Nichols and Robert Kaganhave all written illuminating articles on the specific failures inherent or likely in any deal with Iran. But the incident also shows the structural problems with the president’s approach. First, Trump is unprepared. Some effective presidents …came to the White House with a history of deep engagement in public affairs and foreign relations, which made them ready to handle sensitive foreign negotiations. Others brought a formidable work ethic and a ruthless intellect... Both types surround themselves with smart advisers whose input they take seriously. Trump is 0 for 3 on these conditions, which is one reason he wrote off the risk of Iran closing the strait in the first place: He both surrounds himself with less qualified aides than past presidents did and refuses to heed their counsel. The same failure of preparation extends to the frontline negotiators. Even after many of its top officials were killed in the war, Iran has maintained a hard-nosed corps of diplomats who have long been involved in foreign policy. Trump, by contrast, has dispatched a real-estate pal and his nepo-baby son-in-law. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, perhaps the best informed of Trump’s aides, has been largely invisible. Second, as the roller-coaster weekend demonstrates, Trump is mercurial. Keeping one’s bottom line ambiguous in a negotiation is canny, but Trump doesn’t appear to have any bottom line in his own mind. He has cycled through different rationales for the war, including regime change and stopping Iran’s nuclear program, but hasn’t landed on one. Lacking a goal in the war means he also lacks a goal in the peace talks. Iran may be able to use that to its advantage, but even if its leaders are eager to make a deal, they will be understandably reluctant to agree to anything that requires a leap of faith, because Trump may change his mind at any moment, as appeared to happen amid Republican backlash in recent days. Third, Trump is desperate for a deal, and everyone knows it. His misjudgments have led him to corporate bankruptcies and cheap sales in business, and he’s in a similar situation now. Every conflict between an autocracy and a democracy (however fragile this one may be) is asymmetric: Trump has to be concerned about public opinion, whereas Iran’s leaders have shown not only that they are indifferent to the suffering of their people; they are willing to massacre them by the thousands. But as the war drags on with no positive resolution in sight, and the U.S. economy looks shakier, Trump has become visibly more frantic to reach a peace agreement. (The president also seemed eager to have something to show for his weekend, because he skipped his eldest son’s wedding, ostensibly to work.) Iran, sensing Trump’s need for a deal, has maintained a hard line. All of these factors combine to mean that Trump is ill-equipped to win any negotiation, much less one that is the result of his own blundering into war. Trump is likely to muddle through, as he has so many times in his career, and reach some sort of agreement with Iran. He will surely say that it’s a great triumph, but reality will be harder to ignore than it was when Trump’s failures merely hurt his own bank accounts. One of the ironies of The Art of the Deal, the book that made Trump’s reputation as a clever businessman, is that Trump himself didn’t write it. His ghostwriter, Tony Schwartz, has said that he cobbled the volume together after sitting at Trump’s elbow while he conducted his daily business. Unfortunately, it’s probably too late for Trump to hire a real professional to handle negotiations with Iran. https://www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/2026/05/iran-deal-trump-terrible-negotiator/687320/

Some people just love showing the whole world just hoe f*cking politically ignorant they are.

Yes Mrs. Deluge. I do. 😏

FWIW: Trump's administration enacted regulatory rollbacks, withdrawals from international commitments, and public messaging that undermined climate science, reinforcing impressions that Trump's stance treated climate risk as illegitimate.

What threats specifically? It's Alberta that's threatening Canada and Smith whose whole career as premier has been made up of threatening Ottawa.

Thank you! Thank you also for your sacrifices and for those of your fellow countrymen who served.

Just say on the ctv news that Carney was sending veiled threats to Alberta for wanting to express themselves through a democratic referendum on taking a vote to leave Canada. The man is Hitler. Sad

And the church burnings are still going on

Nah, I'm 100% certain that the guys who tried to stage a coup are the enemies of America. They did try to end the Republic.
