Presenting incorrect information is kind of your thing, though, isn't it I hope we do learn something from this pandemic, like having an actual plan supported by science, clear messaging of that science to the masses, consistency in medsaging. I'd like to see a lot more pushback against people who spread misinformation such as "it's not that bad, nobody except old people are dying, deaths are being overstated", etc. Spreading this kind of hooey puts people at risk. On the other hand, pandemics will all be different in how fast they spread, how deadly they'll be and who the primary victims might be, so maybe some degree of chaos is inevitable at the beginning. As for lockdowns, social distancing and mask wearing, those measures reduced the spread of not just Covid, but other viruses as well, and saved lives. Left unchecked, Covid would have killed many more people, as it did in the States among demographics who bought into the misinformation I noted above and refused to abide by public health advice.

The University of Saskatchewan Faculty Association were discussing the expulsion of a student because he was gay. This was in the mid-1970's. The discussion was pretty one-sided. They decided the student had to be expelled. The President of the Faculty association advised the meeting that if the student had to leave, "then I have to go too. I'm gay." The student was admitted without further objection. He was Doug Wilson. He passed away in 1992. Every year, the University held the annual Doug Wilson awards as tribute. It is amazing how fast things change. I remember people losing their jobs because somebody said they were "communists." Then the pole reversed and it was the anti-communists who were blacklisted. It goes back and forth ad infinitum. Why can't we just respect people for who they are? Like the courageous Professor Peter Millard who put himself out there on the precipice for a student.

So these 15-Minute cities are springing up and in the works all over the world. Edmonton's proposed City Plan hinging on creation of 15-minute communities as city grows toward two million people | Edmonton Journal I also saw a picture someone posted of proposed Ottawa 15-minute city, and I'm sure there are more that we don't know about yet. Another article I saw about the Edmonton ones, said it would not be made "mandatory." Of course, we were also told that vaccination would not be made mandatory and that children would not be subject to vaccine mandates and a host of other things - frog in a pot of boiling water style. For me, I'm about 15 minutes to work. So basically I would be allowed to go from work to home and no further. No visiting my daughter who lives 2 hours away, no visiting my grandbabies who are 5 hours away. No calling up a friend and saying, "Hey, let's meet for lunch". Thoughts?

Government employees regularly express their political views on their own time. Sometimes they even run for political office. And I've seen lawn signs on the lawns of people I know are public servants. In any event, I wasn't asking so much about employees as members of a professional association.

and we haven't even started talking about 5G or the lizard people!

Hey bulIshlt artist… YOU said Fox News has higher ratings than CBS. Didn’t you say that? Yes or No? So I pulled the Neilson ratings, and you can see for yourself that CBS has higher prime time ratings than Fox News. Nielsen ratings are the ratings which TV advertising buy-ins are based upon. They are the gold standard of accuracy.

This all sounds very '2030 Agenda-ish' to me. The bit they left out is how the Global Resetter investment class like Black Rock and Vanguard have been buying up the suburbs while Gates and others by up farm and ranch land. My personal suspicion is this is what the push to go electric with cars is about. Electric and driverless - that's what cars in the 15 minute cities will look like. While Gates and his buddies zip about the vacant countryside, choking down porter house steaks, cuddling city girls all too willing to do anything to get out. They all joke about how they've got the plebs in the cities eating bugs. There's the conspiracy theory for you in its complete form. And I don't care who doesn't like it. Every day it gets a little more real. Drip, drip, drip.

That's the thing about authoritarians. They believe it is their god-given right to trample and take other people's rights away for whatever excuse they might have in their tiny little minds. They convince themselves its all for the greater good. Didn't we hear somewhere Chairman Mao thought the same way?

Imagine what they've already done with the microchips in the vaccines, or what will happen when the alien vampires from Zeta Reticuli finally show themselves.

A: The mandates are gone. Get over it. B: Covid is not a respiratory virus, it is a vascular virus that can attack any organ in the body and it will be years before we learn the long term effects.

Goddess' take on this article falls in with that logic. Where did anyone, anywhere, even remotely hint at restricting travel in this article? Municipalities have been trying to get their downtown cores converted to livable/walkable communities for decades, and this is the same sort of civic planning. Of course it's hard to read anything these days without channeling your OUTRAGE and seeing an AGENDA in it. ?

Do you guys check your closets and look under your bed before you go to sleep at night? You turn a proposal that would make it long commutes to work less necessary or not having to drive distances for services during their daily lives into a Warsaw Ghetto.

They’re going to lock you in?

Geez, it is the new suburbs. No one is preventing or trying to prevent travel. All they are trying to do is make things available within 15 minutes of your residence. Just a new name for the "Burbs" LOL

My thought is that this is a trend, just like suburbs were, just like cities were... and a reaction to problems of the past. Right now the problem is commuting and people spending too much of their time doing it. It's still a private function to develop housing, and a fully public process to plan cities so this amounts to a proposal. If it doesn't fly, then it doesn't. And if you want to live somewhere far away and drive a long way to work who would stop you. You are always subject to the whims of developers of planners, even those from decades ago. As for being "allowed" to travel - no, thats not what this is about. To prevent people from travelling permanently would require a sea change in legislation, and probably an authoritarian government. There's no need to be paranoid about this stuff, unless you enjoy that.

The covid vaccines are not harmful and help prevent serious illness. You've been consuming too much misinformation.

Your 100 % right , your right and I'm wrong i had the man confused with another, what do i do now get on my knee's and beg for forgiveness. Thank you for improving my slack and idle body...

EV’s will require tolls or mileage charges to make up for lost fuel tax revenues.

Well, swishy, or whooshy, whatever you are… You said that it’s very different when a VP removed Classified documents. YOUR CLAIM. So whoosh your ass up an explanation why. Federal law doesn’t say so. And, by the way, prosecutors in Trump’s case have so far listed theft of government property and obstruction of Justice, not removal of classified information.

I also read the BBC. The Ukraine war blew up energy prices in the UK this year, not the projects meant to replace fossil fuels.

war is boring most of the time in the military is "hurry up & wait" the joy of being a soldier is the comradery suffering hardship gladly, with brothers who become closer to you than anyone but your wife in any situation, no matter how dreary, you make your own fun smoking & joking at the back of the bus with the boys ducimus

Those beans aren’t going to sprout into a beanstalk, jack

You have a traffic light? LOL

indeed, if you're going to go Armour, it's better to be the officer otherwise you are just a grease monkey who serves the machine really only the officer knows what is going on and gets to employ tactics but you don't want to go Canadian Army, they barely have any tanks if you want to be a tank officer actually getting to do anything, you'd have to go US Army Russia is an Artillery Army Canada is an Infantry Army America is the Calvary Army

So far? It's been more than two years. But you know what? You belong to a cult. So naturally your mental faculties are "askew". That, and you were a halfwit to begin with..... Just keep spouting your moronic support for all things Donald. It's all you're worth.

This means - to all on the thread I'm discussing - I am 100% wrong about "signing away your rights". But they can fire you for breach of contract as TB said.

Sadly, we are moving more toward authoritarianism where many liberal-minded people believe in big government control of everyone and everything they say and do. We now see where a city is deciding whether to ban people from riding sleds on most hills around the city. "https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/sabrina-maddeaux-now-city-hall-is-coming-for-your-sleds/ar-AA16L9nY?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=98275549177041b591db219b620153bd "The situation follows a pattern of knee-jerk responses to public health concerns in the headlines as of late. Others include Canada’s highly questionable new alcohol guidelines and the demonization of bringing cake to the office, lest it tempt someone to make an unhealthy choice. Just as we exit the pandemic, it appears we’re entering a new era of health and safety puritanism. Whether driven by a lingering taste for collective control over personal responsibility, skewed risk perceptions or an inclination toward herd panic, it’s a worrying trend." Collective control???? Isn't that a form of neo-Marxism particularly when its applied to everyone and everything a person does in society? If its liability the city is worried about, the solution is simple. Have a form that people print their name, address, and sign which releases the city from any liability in case of accident or injury. End of matter. No need to shut down all activities. Let people live and make their own choices.

Yes, they found a way around it: "association" and "tribunal". Now it decided that way and now, this. What... Constitution?

So according to a website that posts crap you want to hear…. That there is “No question” Trump had the authority to declassify material. There is definitely a lot of questions about that There is not a US Federal Law which says that a President can issue an invisible declassification order, and no-one needs to be informed. There IS a Federal Appellate decision which says the President CANNOT issue “invisible” declassification orders. The standing WRITTEN executive order says that declassification needs to follow a procedure. How’s this? We get that you WANT Trump to be innocent, but don’t you give a shlt about anything? What if the documents were nuclear secrets, or the design of our latest weapons, or a list of spies inside of Russia? Do you think Trump should have declassified material which he didn’t even read, just because he carried it somewhere? Because… if it is declassified, that makes it PUBLIC. It is not secret anymore. Putin and the leaders of China are allowed to read ALL that material, because of the invisible secret order. Is that so?

Eh, I think you're focused on the wrong thing here. The real observation and question is why do so many spiteful a-holes also describe themselves as patriots? ETA: I'm just gonna skip ahead to the answer. It's because they see America as a place for straight, white men (and occasionally properly subservient women) and anything outside of that paradigm is unAmerican. They are the original embodiment identity politics and they are so goddamn fragile they need to lash out even at simple candy mascots if the roster includes more women or an anxious guy, or whatever. Some conservatives are just that afraid of change.

Imagine a billionaire owning LAND. We need to investigate because I saw a video created by a Slovian meme farm paid for by Russian oligarchs AND I AM CONCERNED

How the Hell did you psychos find a way to divert a thread about Tucker mocking M&M's going woke to some deluded fantasy about American patriots wanting to crucify Christ.

Hmmm.. -Blackrock controls about 10 trillion in assets -Bill Gates owns about 200,000 acres of US farmland -Chrystia Freeland is the deputy prime minister of a G7 country. -Pharmaceuticals with monopolies on various medications ie insulin -Media empire... But nah NO influence WHATSOEVER lol

Might be one of their smartest decisions in the last years

"WEF founder Klaus Schwab is the author of the book COVID-19: The Great Reset, published in July 2020, which argues that the coronavirus pandemic can and should be used for an “economic, societal, geopolitical, environmental and technological reset”, including, in particular, advancing global governance, accelerating digital transformation, and tackling climate change." Davos World Economic Forum Psychopaths – Members and Goals | Algora Blog There is something about this whole WEF thing which I don't really understand. If its purpose is not as stated above, then what would be its purpose? Why is the finance minister of Canada and deputy PM a part of it? If the WEF is working against democracy, isn't that a danger for Canadian democracy?

It's not two sacks of ballots, slow-poke. It's two sacks of mail and mixed in that mail were 12 ballots. 12 measly ballots. It's not election fraud. It's a lazy mailman or a big error.

Perhaps this is an old report. The global death toll is 6.7 million so far. With what is happening in China, that number may increase significantly. And anyone who is unconcerned about the flu doesn't have a grasp of history. The flu pandemic after the Great War killed more people than the war.

Has nothing to do with Brexit and then a long succession of goof leaders and turmoil, huh? I wonder which UK papers you're reading...

That's not election fraud, and I believe the mystery was solved in S10E08 of Seinfeld.

And they also engender fear/hatred of the West by using "we must protect women/children from the immorality of the Westerner". During the second world war, Japanese were portrayed as threatening to women/children. Hitler's propaganda against Jews included the same theme of 'protecting women/children'. And we see it again now - "We must protect the women and children from the evil transgender (male)!"

To expand on this thought, it's notable that many more nations have joined with China and Russia. They have formed some sort of economic alliance, and they are called the BRICS nations, which stands for some of their founding members: Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa. (These nations alone make up 41% of the world's population.) But since last fall, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, NIgeria, Venezuela, Algeria, Turkey and Argentina have all joined as well. With their main goal of unseating the US dollar as the world's reserve currency. People who expect this to happen say this will cause the US dollar to collapse. Edit: I should add that in 2021, Saudi Arabia's 50 year oil deal with the US ended. They did not renew(do you remember in the news of the report that Biden called Saudi Arabia and they did not pick up) this deal and instead allowed themselves to be courted by China, who has successfully replaced the US as Saudi Arabia's main oil economic partner. This does not bode well for the US dollar.

One would need a dangler to enter the dangler club, and vice versa... No i have no issues with lesbians doing most things in the women's facility... it has been going since the dawn of time, before it has become social norm to come out. Same as gay men using the men's rooms, everyone normally keeps their eyes on their own home work so to speak... if your leering then something will be said...but you can't expect the same response when if the opposite sex walks in...it gets uncomfortable... Here in Canada we don't have the same outlook as other countries do say like Europe where both sex share the same facilities. In Afghanistan we visited the Norwegian camp i think, we went to get a shower, and found all of them to be shared, perfectly normal for them, for us not so much...

Biological women, yeah, for sure. Lesbians have always gone to the same bathroom as other women. Who's to say that they couldn't? Besides, you can count he number of women who get raped by lesbians in a year on one hand. I'm a man, so it's not like I'm sticking up for my own kind by saying that "some of us destroy women's lives with our sexual violence. It happens hundreds of times every year." Why increase the chances? Why make it easier? If a guy wants to dress up like a woman, that's fine, but to say "I wanna use the same bathroom as the little girls do" is not fine. I don't value anyone's feelings over the life of a child.

Here's the video: Here's a picture of George Soros: These are not the same people, but then ranting about Klaus Schwab/WEF in the same breath as George Soros is pretty on-brand for the conspiracy crowd. At least make the basic effort of knowing who the hell you're even talking about, man.

I've never gotten an answer when I've asked why it's always about "perverted men" in women's area and never "perverted women" in men's areas. There are predatory females who go after boys and men, just as there are predatory men who go after women and girls. And if a girl might be traumatized by seeing male genitalia, why wouldn't boys be traumatized by seeing female genitalia? The answer, of course, is that women/girls and their "safety" is used to engender fear and hatred - whether against Black people in the States, or Japanese during the war, or against transgender now.

Windmills do not provide electricity at a cost of zero. The world is not going to end anytime soon. Some of the predictions were way off base. I don't plan on eating bugs. But I suppose governments will attack the meat industry in the same way they attack the oil and gas sector, by strangling it with taxation.

Holding a job in this country now depends on your willingness to regurgitate the proper opinions, take drugs that haven't gone through clinical trials, give your kids drugs that are proven to have harmful side effects which don't confer any benefits on them, you can't show the least bit of support for freedom rallies, and god forbid that you speak out for your own safety and that of little girls. Our own PM went on TV and called unvaccinated people racists and misogynists, how is that more acceptable than saying "I don't want 230 lb biological men in the bathroom with my daughter, regardless of what they're wearing or their hair style"? Our country is a joke. Leftists are a joke.

Indecent acts are permitted if you're a protected class in Canada. At least, child porn is still an offense and not just a sexual orientation.

This thread is about how George Santos and how he lied about every aspect of his past in order to win a congressional seat. Please stay on topic. Or are you just too f__king stupid?

I forgot about the easy button. That was something that seems like a looong time ago.
