  1. You're really sugar coating this stuff. The "family friend" line was false. Trudeau had no personal interaction with this close family friend of his for 30 years, until, coincidentally I’m sure, he became the leader of the Liberal Party of Canada. Except for his father’s funeral in 2000, the last time before 2013 Trudeau saw the Aga Khan was when he, as a 12-year-old boy, accompanied his father, then-prime minister Pierre Trudeau, on a family vacation in Greece. Yet after one encounter in 30 years, Trudeau and his good buddy holidayed together thrice in two years — once as Liberal leader in 2014, and twice as prime minister in 2016, when the ethical lapses occurred. It’s undeniable that the Aga Khan, whose foundation has received more than $300 million in Canadian government money since the 1980s, has a business relationship with Canada that is relevant to the prime minister’s work. Even if they were genuinely friends, that’s all the more reason to clear the trip through Canada’s ethics channels. As for the groping incident. The allegation was in fact very credible. In 2018, a newspaper piece from 2000 emerged: A reporter alleged that Trudeau, who was 28 at the time, was at the Kokanee Summit in Creston, B.C., raising money for a charity. An editorial in the local paper said Trudeau was accused of “groping” and “inappropriately handling” a female reporter during the event. Reached by CBC in 2018, the woman said “The incident referred to in the editorial did occur, as reported. Mr. Trudeau did apologize the next day. I did not pursue the incident at the time and will not be pursuing the incident further. I have had no subsequent contact with Mr. Trudeau, before or after he became Prime Minister.” SNC Lavalin. WE Charity.

  2. Your discussing housing crisis with people who think Trudeau personally decides what you can have for breakfast? Don't waste your time pointing out facts. They all seem to have slept through Social Studies 10 and have no idea how Parliamentary democracy works or what a PM can and can't and does do. So long as they can post some meaningless Trudeau hate comment on the Internet you can think of it like Stephen Harper did, let his lunatic fringe blow off steam with unconstitutional daily Crime Bills while he got on with running the government.

  3. As I said, like it or not. But in terms of experience, Trudeau does not compare to Trump, because he has none. What I don’t like is someone who leads us on non-issues while failing on the ones that matter, because his focus is on his pet projects, wokism and massive reform without consideration of the effects it has to those caught in the transition. But hey, you people who are completely comfortable, please carry on...

  4. Climate deniers in 2022 are either blind and deaf (not dumb - that means can't speak and they do nothing but bellow at the top of their lungs) or willfully ignorant. Quoting a 3% disagree figure from 20 years ago, scouring the dregs of the Internet or simply making up things to seem like they know more than dick shit. I'm sure they could dig up facts that prove gravity is a lie or a conspiracy if the Illuminati given enough time. And it's not Jobs OR the Environment. I heard that shit 50 years ago and too many of us listened. There is no black OR white, night OR day, good OR bad. It's only the hard core Can'tservative that claims 90% effective is no good because it's not 100% so we shouldn't try at all.

  5. Leave the keys on the bankers desk and drive away out of town. That's what a couple friends did when Mackenzie collapsed in the 1980s. 3 kids and everything you could fit into or strap onto a Ford Escort and off to Vancouver. Those 18% mortgages were a bitch. Both of us had full time union jobs and didn't have two nickels left to rub together. No furniture - people had to bring their own chairs to our first house warming party. Futon on the bedroom floor, Sally Ann kitchen table.... no one will do that these days. They want it all, right now.

  7. Sometimes consensus has nothing to do with science but this isn't one of those times. I think how long a vast bunch persists in believing something has a bearing on it. Is there no time component to the determination of when agreement is appropriate for action? His persecutors knew that too once they saw his evidence, and the consensus was strong that he had to be kept quiet to protect the vested interest they had in the status quo. If you've seen one deliberate denier you've seen them all.

  8. You sound like you're getting impatient with JT as well, Boges. Why don't you liberals admit it, you don't like what you see either. Come clean for once. This man is an incompetent jackass, and jackass is the best word for him. By that I mean, one who is both naive and flippant. Callous, arrogant, and a liar. But he's also dangerous because he is such an empowered jackass. I can give policy reasons, it hardly matters. Like someone recently said leadership is not a political party or even a platform, it's an individual with attitude and vision. I would even take another Liberal as PM over JT. It's not that I oppose liberalism carte-blanche. Canada is a liberal country and I have felt proud of it in the past, but not since JT took over. His mission is to bring shame on Canada, to make Canadians feel ashamed of their country. In order to make Canada a post-national state, you have to kill the culture. To do that you have to make young Canadians hate the country. Hate its history, hate the great people of its past, by telling deceptive half-truths, and by using his bully pulpit and big spending to send out that divisive message across the country. Trudeau is in fact a hate-mongerer, which is entirely un-Canadian, making him the most un-Canadian prime minister of all time.

  13. You are kidding. I know many folks in the restaurant industry making 40% of pre pandemic levels in their restaurants simply because they were ordered closed. And when they were allowed to open they had a reduced capacity. I do not believe it's healthy for a country to have one many control that much of your farm land. It's not a matter of jealousy... it's a matter of common sense. Lol.. I have addressed that ad nauseum. They are intentionally creating food shortages in my view and the WEF crew is using the caos to screw everyone over, throwing generational farmers off their land and buy everything up. It's what happens in third world hell holes too... government is the muscle for the corruption among the wealthy

  16. I'm not saying that he's definitely a plant: I'm saying that he looks like a plant, walks like a plant, talks like a plant, people in the crowd identified him as a plant, he committed sedition like a plant, and his picture is in the dictionary beside plant, so it's extremely reasonable to have a discussion about the fact that he's almost certainly a plant, and ask ourselves why the people who we know to be liars and scumbags had a plant there. We can add that question to: -why is all of the video evidence from Jan 6th being held in secrecy -why were capitol police letting people in -why didn't Pelosi get the National Guard in there when it was known that there might be trouble there -why did Pelosi get the National Guard there after there were no protesters within 1,000 miles of the capitol -why do the Dems care so much about 2 hrs of these non-violent riots and so little about the 3.5 years of violent riots that killed so many people?

You really need to get your head on straight and find out the ecological damage being done over there. https://www.indexmundi.com/netherlands/environment_current_issues.html All stores had online offerings.

  18. What do you know about reducing greenhouse emissions and the value of green tech? Have you changed your lifestyle, installed green power, written to politicians and published articles advocating for the closure of coal plants, and proposed planning solutions that have been adopted? I’ve done all of the above and not all of it was for the better. It’s easy to react fearfully to dramatic stories about what might happen. It’s another thing to do something about it, learn in depth about the issues, see the complexities, the winners and losers of strong government intervention, and to come to a more balanced perspective. Your fervour seems backed by ignorance and inexperience, so it’s hard to take you seriously. No one is saying we shouldn’t try to reduce human made climate change where possible and sensible, but destroying the economy and stripping people of rights, especially the poor, isn’t how we should do it. Many of the 2030 action plans being rolled out by countries demand great sacrifices for little impact on climate change. Germany’s green power push has gutted their power supply and put them at the mercy of Russia, who don’t care about climate change policy, a utopian project for suckers like Canadians. Not even Biden’s America will impose carbon taxes. Yet the Yanks are reducing greenhouse gas emissions through free market technological innovation faster than Canadians.

  19. Deborah Brix making headlines last weekend for finally admitting what blacklisted scientists have known all along: "I knew these vaccines were not going to protect against infection and I think we overplayed the vaccines...." Get that? She KNEW. But consciously chose to LIE. Many of the other side are now backing away from old positions. So why the aggressive shift away from this? Because the data is falling apart. Prevalence is exploding and it’s nearly all in the vaxxed. The signs of OAS and leaky vaxx driven viral evolution to become advantaged by herd level antigenic fixation are everywhere and so are the signs of large and severe side effect profiles that are getting worse by the dose. So are signs of immune suppression. There are signs of everything but........efficacy. The whole story is falling to pieces end to end - in the UK, in Canada, in the US, in Israel . The true blue zealots are trying one more run for masks and mandates, but they are starting to look real, real clownish.? The data is too clear and the smarter rats are getting the hell off this ship before the waters close over it for good. Of course now most of the Branch Covidians are claiming “the data is all meaningless now” as though this is some new thing or that “90% of patients in hospital with covid are not for covid” is some phenomenon that suddenly emerged. But this was true last summer too. It has long been obvious to those of us who actually "followed the science".....or rather - the complete LACK of it. At one time, incidence was made to look higher than it was due to rising testing, making sample rates explode. But now it’s the opposite. We’re catching fewer and fewer cases in the reporting and the data STILL looks awful. US cases are 3X what they were last year at this time and hospitalization and deaths nearly 2X. % positive on tests is 3.5X what it was. So now all the folks who hectored us to “follow the data” want to abandon it because it’s telling a story they do not like. It’s what the guilty do when they run out of excuses and dodges and the bright lights start landing on what they did. So.....they find some new moral parade (CLIMATE CHANGE EMERGENCY! ALERT!! ALERT!!) to distract from questions about just where the last one they band-wagoned wound up. “We were lied to by big pharma!” is going to be the low energy path out and there is A LOT of energy here to be released. The time is HERE NOW where the damage is too big to hide from the middle. It's going to start to move fast now as it gets more and more out in the open. And fooled people are ANGRY people. They are going to want answers. They are going want someone to blame. Human nature being what it is, the ones who screeched "case counts" every 15 minutes and vilified people who chose not to be part of this experiment - even going to so far as demanding they lose their jobs and livelihoods and be denied medical care and left to die in freezer trucks........they will now jump on the Climate Change Emergency bandwagon (Haha! Wait til you see the leaked video of CNN exec who actually ADMITS they are going to do this, already doing it) and totally HOPE WE ALL FORGET HOW UTTERLY MORALLLY BANKRUPT AND WITHOUT HUMAN COMPASSION AND EMPATHY THEY REALLY ARE.

  20. Lol there it is.. if you don't obey blindly something really really really bad will happen.. So basically get it from a select few who are buying up all the land? That's a crisis in and of itself. No they made a killing during covid because they were the only ones allowed to operate. Everyone else was mandated to close shop

  21. The personal responsibility you're willing to assume doesn't matter - it's the liability that is assigned to you that does, probably by the Supreme Court for the most part. Ignoring your responsibility for doing anything to protect yourself from future liability seems dumb. You mentioned culpability in the context of one's own misfortune so surely you can understand what I'm getting at.

  24. Not jumping around at all.. the same scare tactics are being used, a hard power play, to destroy small scale farming and hand it over to multinationals. We saw previous governments do that here where they'd create legislation to land on the side of the big multinational Corp, ie Cargill, which made it easy for them to sue small scale farmers for something as small as seed blowing on to someone else's field. We saw it with the systematic destruction of small business during covid while Amazon and others brought in record profit. Netherlands is doing the same, hiding behind environmental excuses. When the food supply is destroyed, they'll Blame climate change... got it? Now you are gullible enough to buy the propaganda. In the end its corporations and government working together to screw over the little guy.

  28. The same happened with Covid. Our government’s response to Covid caused more problems than Covid. Workplace absence epidemics due to outdated quarantine and screening rules. Supply chain slowdowns due to lockdowns, quarantines, and absenteeism. Flight delays and cancellations due to the issues above and the ArriveCan vax pass. The destruction of stabilizing institutions: family, church, temple, mosque. Crippling impacts on social-emotional well-being and mental health due to isolation and constant fear-mongering. The population is weakened and vulnerable. Once Covid waned as a real health problem, it became about Ukraine and climate change. If they can’t get the crop failures and food shortages through climate change they’ll engineer them in the name of fighting climate change then blame climate change for the shortages.

  30. The climate plan is the biggest scam we've ever seen. They claim they are "saving the environment". In reality you have oligarchs like Bill Gates buying up all the farm land as the government does everything in their power to destroy the family farm. Basically using the climate hoax to screw over the middle class. The most disgusting thing of it all is they pretend like they are your savior while doing it.

  31. I don't believe that's happening. What is happening is that politicians and the WEF affiliated bums are trying to create food shortages (a crisis) so they can blame on "climate change" or something dumb and use that as justification for more control. The gullible go along with it. And yes you can protest so long as you don't have "unacceptable views".

  35. A government is more than one person. It was the government that put together the all party team, including Provincial governments, to mitigate the Americans assault on NAFTA. It was the government and all parties, that managed the response to a deadly pandemic that saved tens of thousands of lives in Canada while the US suffered the greatest catastrophe in their history. Mr. O'Toole would have formed a government that would have performed a bit better, but we have to give credit where credit is due. And who is the Social Credit candidate for the CPC leadership? Pierre Poillievre. Anyone who has lived under Social Credit knows it for what it is. It is the downfall of the Conservative party and free enterprise.

  36. Anyway what would Mr. Trudeau even know about being Canadian? Having lived in a ivory tower all his life, protected, never having to face the challenges of life of ordinary citizens. Far more removed than his father. He is the quintessential rich man's son, pampered, elitist, and terribly naive. Then he inherits the company and wrecks it in a mere few years. We've seen this story played out enough times already to know how it goes.

  41. The ethics violation was a visit to the head of one of the world's great religious movements who was also a family friend. The blackface incidents occurred before that activity was seen as an offence. I too, wore black make-up in a school play. There was no groping incident, just an unfounded accusation made by a reporter, which the alleged victim firmly denied. If you want a real scandal ridden government, just cast your mind back to Mike Pearson's government when there were five separate scandals going on at the same time or the 1925 customs scandal. There are valid criticisms that can be directed the policies of the government but the stuff like the trumped up stuff in the passage I quoted is pitiful.

  44. When it comes to governing, the terms Liberal or Conservative are not nearly as important as administrative ability. A government needs to be pragmatic. It is fallacy to believe some ideology has all the answers. We need a leader with proven experience in governing. Charest fits that description.

  45. Money laundering in BC was more the fault of the provincial government with poor oversight of its own lottery corporation which governs casinos. They basically ignored the duffle bags full of bills that were being laundered through its casinos. I guess the feds could ban foreign ownership of residential property but the provincial government is also raking in money from the property transfer tax and speculation and vacancy tax.
