Last January, Senator Ted Cruz’ daughter Caroline stated that she is bisexual. Ted wasn’t having any of it, since he is one of the staunchest anti-gay politicians in the nation. You can imagine that having a bisexual daughter would be bad for the family business. So, in traditional family-first, family values fashion, good old Ted shut all that down and has not acknowledged his daughter’s sexual preferences. The result was predictable, and last night, police were called to the Cruz family residence to respond to a call of a teen self-inflicting knife wounds. She is now recovering in a hospital. Repressing your kids’ sexuality will not work. My own expectation is that Ted is a pretty disgusting guy, and he’ll put is career ahead of his family. I never liked Dick Cheney much, but at least the guy accepted his daughter for who she is.

You ldiot, if there WAS fraud, there are dozens and dozens of Trump-appointed judges who would have overturned the election results. You don’t riot at the Capitol, you don’t suspend the Constitution. You take the evidence to court. Trump had no evidence. There were recounts all over the nation and NOT ONE SINGLE PRECINCT ANYWHERE IN THE NATION CHANGED ITS OUTCOME. Arizona has a ridiculous recount that proved no fraud. They wound up finding MORE votes for Biden than originally tallied. So it is worth repeating that you have no evidence at all, not a shred, and you are truly an ldiot.

I'm afraid you misunderstand, his suppositions ARE the evidence.

My kid came out to me, and I gave her a big hug and said, “That’s wonderful!”

Your posts here just reveal how delusional you are. Tax evasion is a serious crime and NOT JUST prosecuted by "leftists." Though Republicans tend to give wealthy citizens a pass, but never bring up laws to legalize tax evasion, just rate cuts.

In criminal prosecutions, they start with the charges most likely to stick/easiest to prosecute. All of these crimes are also Federal crimes and it would be hard for the IRS to ignore since they’re convictions. They should also harm Trump Corp’s ability to secure financing because they are a criminal enterprise now.

Let’s say that you and I are both employers. An employee wants a net salary of $250,000. I pay him legally, which means I pay around $340,000 to $370,000 a year. You pay him illegally — $250,000, which you don’t report to the IRS. Now multiply that by ten employees over ten years. Now, Trump’s lawyers are arguing, “Hey, they company did nothing wrong; this was the employees who failed to pay their taxes. WRONG, and they darn well know it. As an employer, you are obligated to report compensation to the IRS and the state, and you are obligated to withhold the taxes. Trump Corp did neither, so that’s illegal and it’s conspiracy to defraud.

True, increasing shipping out of Vancouver is a dumb and dangerous idea, but that pipe goes to the refineries in Washington anyways. Always did, always will. Who else is going to buy it? Asia's not set up to deal with heavy oil, they aren't going to build just to handle it. And you're exactly backwards, Northern Gateway was the least environmentally justified route possible. No previous infrastructure, virgin territory, risk the Skeena river? Are you kidding? 100% of the town councils and native bands on the route were against it, including Kitimat, the only place that would get any permanent benefit at all. Give up pretending BC got benefits and it was good environmentally sound. It's over and done, never to be revived. It would've got more support if everyone hadn't easily seen past the shallow lies Enbridge presented in public. Even all those bribes tossed out hurt them in the end.

When you bomb civilians and annex foreign countries you are ALWAYS the villain. FULL STOP Blaming Ukraine (or NATO) for “provoking” Russia’s invasion is like blaming a rape victim and for “provoking” her rapist.

Really? Cause I thought you people call everything European “Socialist,” like their government, their healthcare systems, the EU, their labor standards, etc. And if being a goose stepper is bad… what have you got to say about Trump having dinner with a card-carrying goose-stepping Nazi?

The former can get along fine without the latter but not the other way around.

Ted has no principles. Lets Trump insult his wife and still kisses the man's ring. Goes to Cancun while Texan's freeze in the dark because of power outages then blames it on his daughters. He's a first class PoS. Like Trump, everything is about him.

Ukraine targets military infrastructure in Russia. Russia responds by targeting Civilian infrastructure in Ukraine. This is why people with any form of ethical standards stand with Ukraine over Russia.

blackbird, Just a comment on something more specific, the CBC article you quote is out of date and the figures are therefore wrong for today. What it does show if you look at today's numbers is that while everyone talks Alberta has actually done something. Those damn Alberta rednecks, they keep doing things.

You've proven 0% fraud. You're an abysmal failure at presenting any evidence of fraud viable enough to be substantiated in a court of law. Poor you, boy.

I already referenced frauds that are known to have happened. The fact that all of the resident leftard skids here are happy about the fact that the Dems were only proven to be guilty of 30% of the fraud that they were accused of is not something to be proud of, FYI.

hello! i'm from Russia. there has already been the old law that banned "LGBTQ propaganda", it was signed some years back. the new one makes it illegal for any audience. and as with some other recent laws in Russia it's vague so it's going to depend on how the authorities are going to use it.

What point are you trying to make with this irrelevant overused denier sound byte? That they should attend world conferences by sailing ships and donkeys? That you if you have environmental concerns you shouldn't own a car, a fridge, a computer? If your bicycle gets a flat tire do you chuck it off the bridge into the river? Or do you FIX IT? Did you chuck it in the river because others told you only stoopid people fix things? Then you'd be dumber than they were. So stop telling people trying to fix things that they're the fools.

You have it bass ackwards as usual. We've put taking action off for so long now that taking it without imposing suffering is unavoidable. No, we're pointing out the fact we've arrived.

True, Canadian companies are required to list taxable benefits on employee T4 slips. I don't expect the US is any different.

I think that was supposed to be a joke.

Unfortunately, suppositions, without viable supporting proof, are nothing more than an unverified belief.

Don’t be silly. Everyone knows Ukrainians aren’t qualified to decide anything…EXCEPT when a Russian soldier puts a gun to their head and forces them to “vote” to be annexed by Russia …in which case the “will of the people” must not be questioned!

They can formally claim whatever they want. Nobody has to recognize the claim, and if they can't hold it their claims are even more meaningless. Kherson City is formally claimed to be part of Russia too. ?

Getting OBVIOUS debate questions ahead of time is about the least serious "cheating" anyone can do in an election. Certainly NOT COMPARABLE to the voter fraud that Trump ALLEGED. Cheated HOW? Unequal treatment is NOT ILLEGAL by a POLITICAL organization. Their job one is to get their Party ELECTED. No she DID NOT. She HIRED a company that HIRED a BRIT who INVESTIGATED Russians. That IS NOT COMPARABLE to Manafort GIVING Russians PRIVATE POLLING DATA so they could better TARGET their US DISINFORMATION campaign ONLINE. That is what REAL COLLUSION looks like. ^You defending the ILLEGAL (DE LAW) leaking of PRIVATE CONFIDENTIAL computer data. That is NOT "free speech, IT WAS STOLEN.

I know. Its interesting...how they tear the population in 2, set them against each other, then cast the blame on the other side. Destructive as hell...but evidently...this is how they need things to be. I mean...how else could one justify the crap they do?

1. There's zero difference from COVID's point of view - the stupider the better. For COVID it was a real opportunity. 2. ? 3. I wasn't joking.

1. You are espousing a fringe theory and demanding that the entire world, UN and its governments, and all Canadian policies adopt your perspective. Here's the thing: in politics you don't always get your way. Take a number and get in line. 2. Strawman. Trudeau enjoys pumping oil through pipelines and exporting coal, and so your extreme characterization belongs in an echo chamber. It doesn't fly with people who want to make realistic criticisms. 3. Nobody cares for your familial colouring. Talk facts. I don't give a shit about your hockey practices. 4. I am tired of zealots showing up and demanding everyone bow to their viewpoints. You are on ignore with me but I found this tiresome thread when I was bored so took the time to put you in the conspiracy cardboard box where you deserve to live out your days.

Looks like we are turning, gradually, slowly but very steadily and confidently to that kind of a country. No questions asked, no answers needed and no consequences for anybody.

I can't even believe that the WE scandal just magically went away. The Trudeau propaganda that they were indoctrinating our children with was obscene. I'd love to know what percent of the loot that Margaret Trudeau made in her lifetime as a public speaker came from the WE charity events that her son bankrolled through the federal gov't. Does anyone else even pay her?

Our Gov't gave CBC a $675M/yr raise after they pimped 2012 Duffygate as a 2015 election issue, gave $600M to 'select media outlets' (and the president of the UNIFORS union was one of the people in charge of deciding who got that money - a man who declared his union was the official opposition against the conservatives) "so that they could provide accurate media coverage prior to the 2019 election", then gave $61M to a top secret group of media outlets to "provide accurate media coverage prior to the 2019 election". Damn right it has to stop. They also tried to gift the WE 'charity', aka Trudeau Youth Camp, almost $1B to brainwash children with this type of thing: Then our PM uses a jumbo jet to fly media sycophants around the country to cover his election campaigns because he feels like reporters in Mtl, Van, Edm, Regina, Winnipeg etc aren't skilled enough to bear true witness to his glory. If Trump used AF2 to fly Fox reporters, Project Veritas, etc around the country the left would scream bloody murder, and the excuse of "I bought carbon offsets to make up for the fuel we burned" would be rejected entirely. The amount of taxpayer money that our federal gov't spends on their own re-election is staggering.

I really think at this stage in our development, all government subsidies to media should be dropped along with CanCon rules. The bureaucracy is expensive and unnecessary. Those creators who have entertaining and persuasive products will succeed and those who don’t won’t. Let’s get rid of these gate keepers who decide what has value for public consumption. It’s time to lean out the CRTC.

I think that she's on the right track. ===== Iceland is a small rich country, sustainable for millenia. Alberta and northern BC could be a country, access to the sea. ==== This current Canada is not permanent. Our flag dates from 1965, Liberal colours. Our constitution dates from 1867 - sort of. But the rocks and trees of this place will remain whatever these politicians do.

@goddess I was tested for my psi-abilities when I was a kid. They sent me to free school. I barely escaped my childhood with the ability to think straight. I know precisely where you screwballs are coming from. As for the greatest scientific issue that's ever faced us that's still by far and away climate change. Screwballs and disease OTOH have been around forever. The former always make things worse.

AGAIN, you are trying to change the subject. The original slave trade was in place before Amerigo Vespucci was even born. There was no America. Africans sold Africans into slavery. Without Africans doing this to their OWN PEOPLE, not ONE slave plantation would have been opened in the New World. The origin of trans Atlantic ships is irrelevant. Certainly those original SETTLERS who finally made up the United States didn't hop a Southwestern flight to get here. Africans brought this all on to themselves. And TODAY, modern Africa looks down on AMerican blacks, saying they were stupid enough to be sold into slavery.

I will help you out here. Don't like what I say? Puts you on the spot to prove your statements? Getting caught up in your BS? Well, ignore me. Put me on ignore and I will be gone

1. Yes, because it is nothing more than a cult that blames mankind for living on the earth. They worship the false god of Mother Earth and think man has no right to exist and use the land to live on and develop the natural resources. They cause great harm to countries like Canada with an extremist PM like Trudeau and minister Guilbeault, who are punishing Canadians for merely living, driving to work, and taking their kids to hockey practice and school, and buying groceries. 2. The tone of your posts reveals you are one of the cult followers and supporters.

I know how politics works. What you don't understand is politics and our government has been hijacked by environmental radicals. Why else would Trudeau appoint a known environmental Greenpeace radical who illegally climbed towers for environmentalism and Greenpeace? This article explains a bit about the difference between good stewardship of our environment and what we are witnessing with these environmental cults like Greenpeace and the COP people and governments. You realize that the COP cult wants to remove 30% of the country from the use of mankind and leave it natural? The earth was created for man's use, not to be set aside and prevented from the use and development for the benefit of mankind. quote MOTHER EARTH? People talk about Mother Nature & Mother Earth. What is a Christian view of Earth? The original question was: With so much talk about Mother Nature and Mother Earth these days, what is a Christian view of the earth? Answer by Peter Geyer It’s easy for us to adopt the language the world uses when we come to speak about environmental matters today, but we should resist the temptation to do so. Nowhere in the Bible will you find the earth referred to as our mother! Jesus taught us that we relate to the God who created both us and the universe in which we live, as our Father, and our Father in heaven certainly didn’t need a wife in order to bring all things into existence. God alone is our Father, and the earth we live on certainly isn’t our mother! The fact that people speak of ‘mother earth’ and ‘mother nature’ panders to the evolutionary idea that everything originated by natural processes from the earth over billions of years. This thinking has been popularized in recent times by the Gaia hypothesis which notes the connectedness and inter-dependence of all living organisms with their environment. The idea is that all organisms and their inorganic surroundings are so closely integrated as to form a single self-regulating complex system that maintains life on earth. Also, the idea of ‘mother nature’, comes from pagan belief that the earth itself is a god. Perhaps you remember the film Avatar, where all life on the planet was an expression of the goddess Eywa. According to the film, all life came from Eywa and returned to Eywa, and continues on in a spiritual realm. As Christians, we know that the earth is as much a creation of God as we are ourselves. “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” (Gen. 1:1) “The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness therefore” (Psalm 24:1), and it was intended for man’s use to God’s glory. Genesis 1:26 states that God gave mankind dominion over the earth. That doesn’t mean the right to exploit and pollute the earth, but to exercise the same caring dominion over the earth that parents have over their children. Genesis 2:15 shows how Adam exercised this dominion in the Garden of Eden, “…to work it and take care of it”. The earth is God’s gift to human beings. The wonders, beauties, and intricacies of creation declare the qualities of God who put a little of himself into his creation (Romans 1:20). “The heavens declare the glory of God and the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech” (Psalm 19:1). But the basic point is a simple one; the earth is God’s creation, much like the Mona Lisa is the creation of Leonardo DaVinci. It has no personality as to be referred to as our mother, sister, brother or any other such thing. The earth provides food and resources for us much the same way as a cow provides us with milk, and a sheep with meat, and we would hardly refer to a cow as our mother, or a sheep as our sister! The evolutionist may wish to claim the pig as his cousin, but the Christian knows that man alone was created in the image of God unique and unrelated to any other creature. Even speaking of the creation as ‘the realm of nature’ and ‘the natural environment’, can be misleading. There’s no such thing as ‘the natural environment’, since we know that nothing came about by itself ‘naturally’, but that everything was the special and intentional creation of God. Perhaps in place of using terms like ‘the natural environment’ and ‘the realm of nature’, it might be more appropriate for Christians to refer to the earth and all that is in it simply as God’s creation. It’s too easy to adopt secular terms when we could use language that witnesses to Christ as Creator. Enjoy the creation and give praise to God and God alone! unquote MOTHER EARTH? People talk about Mother Nature & Mother Earth. What is a Christian view of Earth? – Ask John Mackay | Creation Questions & Answers The earth including all of Canada was created for the use of mankind, not to made a preserve of some kind to be left untouched or unused with its natural resources.

When most of the countries of the world send representatives and Canada sends hundreds of people in its delegation to the U.N. sponsored COP conferences, then you know the world has been infected by the radical environmentalist cult. You also must be aware that a large part of the world's population as for example in India, and some neighbouring countries do not believe in eating meat. They worship countless gods of Hinduism, Buddhism, etc. and allow cattle to walk the streets untouched while vast numbers of people are starving and living in poverty. That example proves how easily hundreds of millions of people, maybe billions are so easily deceived by cults such as the environmental cult and Mother Earth worshipers. Yet the British Conservative government elected a practicing Hindu as their PM and statistics tell us the number of Christians in Britain has now fallen to less than 50% of the people. This is just one example of why more and more people are falling for the environmentalist cult of Mother Earth worship. In Canada there are people who want to bring native spirituality into the public school system now. That means smudging ceremonies, and worship of spirits of the creatures and Mother Earth would be taught to school students. When a Christian mother in BC went to court over her daughter being forced to be in a classroom when a smudging ceremony was being held, the judge ruled the smudging ceremony was not a religious practice (if you can believe that).

What lefties and liberals don't seem to understand is our economy and life operates on the principle of free enterprise capitalism. Corporations and investors don't just drop what they are investing in such as the oil sands and natural gas extraction and put their money and resources into solar power, wind power, or nuclear power at the drop of a hat because a group of environmentalists say they should. They have to invest in things that give a reasonable return and today that is the existing oil and gas industry. Most of the world runs their vehicles on oil products. Most of the goods require oil in the manufacturing process. Aircraft, ships, transport trucks almost all use oil to operate. Corporations cannot make money if they simply stopped investing in the existing energy industry because Liberals and NDP think they should do something else. That is not how the free world operates. Liberal and NDP governments solution is to put heavy regulations and carbon taxes on the energy industry and on the general public thinking this will force them to stop producing and using oil and gas. When there is no ready alternative to oil this is not going to work. All that is happening is the price of oil and gas all other goods is increasing. The price of everything simply goes up. Companies have no choice but to pass the costs on to the consumers. Investors and corporations must continue to earn a profit or they cannot exist and society cannot function. Unfortunately for the populations that depend on these products, governments do not understand and will continue to punish everyone for using oil and gas.

Unfortunately, this COP15 cult conference will be just another brainwashing session supported by the Liberal-NDP government to brainwash more people into the radical agenda they have of opposing Canadians and the world using the earth to live on. The thing that makes it even worse is Canadians will be paying millions of dollars or tens of millions to pay for this gathering of radical environmental cultists. When the governments of the world gather in something like this sponsored by the U.N. and governments who are member states, many people automatically believe whatever they say. This is how climate change alarmism works and became such a big deal. It was constant propaganda by the U.N., and their obedient liberal left governments led by people like Trudeau. Who in his cabinet would even think of questioning his carbon tax agenda or net zero goals when they were appointed to the cabinet by Trudeau himself? The result is they are continually brainwashed with the line that man is to blame for the changing climate and must be made to pay. Nobody has ever actually seen any evidence that would support this assumption. The whole thing is just a cultish dogma. These COP cult conferences are like a snowball rolling down a long hill. It just keeps getting bigger and bigger and picks up more naive followers along the way. We should not forget there will be many Marxist-leaning, environmentally radical professors and claimed experts present to help spur and motivate these followers and government representatives along. After all they believe they are out to save the world from mankind. A rolling snowball is a good simile of how brainwashing and propaganda is spread by these conferences and governments. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=picture+of+giant+snowball+rolling+down+hill&&view=detail&mid=EC17F24E6DD546E7E53EEC17F24E6DD546E7E53E&rvsmid=44BFE2D8026E73D5830944BFE2D8026E73D58309&FORM=VDQVAP

It seems the Star desperately wants Poilievre to be as much of a sell-out as their editorial board. I know you and Exflyer want to catch him out as well. Misery loves company. There’s only one federal political option in Canada, the Communist — I mean Liberal — Party of Canada.

I've been involved in designing and building pipelines most of my life. I did projects in NS, NB, QC, MB, SK, AB and BC so I have some experience. TMX will be a disaster waiting to happen. Shipping that much oil through Vancouver harbour and the Strait of Juan de Fuca is not wise. It was a political decision made by a drama teacher and his friends. Once TMX starts up (if it does and that's still a big if) public outcry and real safety concerns will shut it down and that's just what Ottawa wants, but Vancouver might pay a heavy price with a major spill. Throwing away $20 billion on TMX is nothing compared to $576 billion on COVID so that doesn't concern Trudeau. The Northern Gateway line (but to Prince Rupert) is the one that made engineering and environmental sense. That one would have worked and BC could have benefited by developing a second major export port, taking the pressure off the lower mainland and the inside passage and having tankers safely go directly to the open ocean. Sadly BC might get what they want but at a huge cost. If BC had thought about it they could have benefited economically and environmentally by supporting NG but they fell for Ottawa's trick.

Thats what lefties do when you don't let them murder babies in the womb.. try to convict on a nonsensical crime

Elections is not only a word, stamp. Elections is the essence, ability to support social platform or force that represents you and your interests. And in Canada it's restricted to the point where very little of the essence is left, factually and actually. We cannot vote for a party that represents us: entry of new political entities is restricted to the maximum by written and unwritten barriers and controls. Why crazy cost barriers to register a candidate? Whose interests are served by it? The default duo makes sure that the pie remains for them to divide and enjoy. And voting for a pseudo-representative means very little now, as they are completely controlled by the party apparatus, often unelected. So is it still a democracy? Well... how do we know?

COP15, another U.N. environmental cult conference being held in Montreal December 7 to December 19. Tens of thousands of environmental radicals expected to attend and this is being hosted by the Canadian government for the U.N. at taxpayer expense. It will have the biggest police operation in 20 years. We just had a COP cult conference two weeks ago in Egypt with Canada sending a large delegation of hundreds of people. Now another one in Montreal. It never ends with these people brainwashing everyone at taxpayer expense. Biggest police operation in 20 years: Montreal preparing for tens of thousands at COP15 environmental conference COP15: Montreal closing downtown metro station, launching major security detail for conference | CTV News How much will this cost to hold and how much will the huge police operation cost Canadians? "Montreal police estimate the cost, including payroll, at $25 million, which will be reimbursed in part or in whole by the federal government." (the Canadian taxpayers)

BS. Complete and utter BS. But hey, it is your BS and stick to it
