Can you BELIEVE that absolute DONKEY crap?!!?! Instead of looking into it he's going to travel to 'disillusioned communities' and tell them they shouldn't worry about it!!! This is really beyond insane. The fact that the public is not up in arms over this and demanding trudeau's head is just horrific.

Eh, it's Florida. They are probably just offended that any poetry is in schools. It is the gayest form of written communication, after all.? But seriously, Republican presidential candidate DeSantis is doing his damnedest to create a state in which ideas outside of white, heteronormative, heterodoxy cannot be spoken in schools. Small government, and all...

It is words, written on paper. Middle school kids can whip out their iPhones and type in “transgender porn” or “lesbian porn” and watch all they want. So how does banning a poem or a book help children? The only real outcome is that more kids will read the banned stuff. How about the Koran? Should they ban that? Or the Hebrew Bible? Or the Catholic Bible? The Bhagavad Gita? Or the novel Roots?

Well aren't you the typical bigot. You didn't read Kipling because Gunga Din wasn't white, eh?

It's come to symbolize contempt for social conservatism without even trying.

the common refrain as you watch these videos is that Canada is extremely expensive the wages don't keep up with the price of things in Canada and that this is due to a massively bloated overbearing nanny police state government which favours giant corporate monopolies over free markets

How bout no one. Liberalism in free speech good

The 1st video is a bunch of incoherent ramblings which boils down to “Canada isn’t exactly how I want it to be, blah blah vax inference blah blah”. After that one, I really couldn’t be bothered. A lot of these opinions about how Canada sucks can be summed up as follows: “the party I voted for didn’t get in power. Trudeau sucks. I can’t call people insulting, racist, homophobic names anymore without consequences” …. Canada has moved on from you clowns. Deal with it.

Since the fascists here often cry about wokeness, but don't seem to know exactly what it is, I figured this would help them.

PERIOD. You Nazis need to get a life. You aren't going to win every argument. Logic is not going to be on your side ALL the time. Sometimes you are WRONG. Boys and girls, YOU AREN'T ENTITLED TO HAVING EVERYONE AGREE WITH EVERYTHING YOU SAY. A political message board is an OPEN forum where all views are permitted. You don't have to stay here if you are triggered every time someone disagrees with you. There are PLENTY of liberal forums out there where free speech doesn't exist. Oh, and unless one of you retards can DOCUMENT ANY PAYMENTS TO ME FROM RUSSIA, YOU'RE JUST A DESPICABLE CHILDISH LIAR by accusing me of that. Nobody here is paid for opinions. Nobody's opinion here is worth TWO FCKING CENTS. Snowflakes GROW THE FCK UP.

pretty much nails it, to a tee

things have simply reached the tipping point Canadian Nationalism is fundamentally left wing & Marxist Anti-British, Anti-American, Pro-China, Pro-Cuba the majority of Canadians have now been raised by the state to be communists in essence so they literally want to live in a dreary authoritarian pseudo communist police state

So everything that hurts your widdy white feelings is now CRT? Such a profoundly stupid statement.

Antifa proved there isn’t a set definition for woke or Karen. >_< People laugh when they hear it, because people with common sense seeing a white woman berating a cashier as she tries to return an ink cartridge with no receipt with: "You know who I am. I was here a week ago. You can find me in your system" at a Wal Mart with a cashier who has a IDGAF look on their face, is precisely who you would call "Look Karen, you need a receipt" everyone would know. No explanation needed. That high inflection of speech can also be found within the woke category that was highjacked, as they remind you that there aren't any genders. Hit them with logic and facts, and they go histrionic. They don't work in fact. They work in ideology. Disagree, you're transphobic, racist or fasch. No support to why you are. They called you it, so it is. Just because. *mic drop*. If they want it broken down further, the woke movement started with some incredibly intelligent people. Now, they low IQ, loud, narssisstic and highly entitled.

Thats not a Karen at all. O_o A Karen is an entitled white woman, using her white privilege and entitlement to strong arm others to get her way. She could call the police or not. Kind of like a white woman while I was reversing my car at a grocery parking. I took 3 to 5 seconds to reverse, and she felt entitled to drive fast across the aisle. So went through the trouble of chewing me out because driving forwards is faster and not everyone has time to waste. "Ok Karen" is the only thing you can say after that. Just the level of entitlement. What you described loosely is an SJW.

See the level of discussion? I know you are but what am I? Black is white! Up is down! The way this ink gets into chalk proves our toothpaste is better!

It doesn’t rise to the level of religion. It’s more like a cult or a political ideology, like the hammer and sickle, your fav.

So... flying a flag that symbolizes acceptance of people who are gay, bi, opposite gender, nonbinary etc. has nothing to do with acceptance of them ? Sorry if I am confused by that. Do you want to clarify ?

Get real. Schools only started putting them on flag poles recently. I’m wondering if this flag can be construed by some as a hate symbol.

So I guess you’re celebrating the decline of religion and have the stats to indicate that this is happening. It’s highly arguable that the LGBTQ2S+ is a form of indoctrination that substitutes certain identity and sexuality imagery for religious symbols like the crucifix. If you’re for removing prayer from schools because it doesn’t represent the beliefs of all families, why are you pushing LGBTQ2S+ symbols that don’t represent the beliefs of all families? At least be consistent.

Why should I accept it as right or proper? You might be able to get away with saying that in a Communist country or some kind of secularist dictatorship, but we are supposed to be living in a democratic country with freedom of religion, freedom speech and freedom of beliefs. When you say I "have to accept that", you are basically saying I have no freedom and must accept your ideology. Sorry, can't do that. It is not paranoid fantasy to believe DEI and cultural Marxism is evil and perversion. Sorry you are on the wrong end of this. Numbers or polls do not determine what is right or wrong. History proves it.

Many politicians, particularly Liberals and NDP or lefties or progressives, and their followers promote ideologies that promote perversion and things that fit in with their cultural Marxist thinking and ideology. One of these ideologies which is causing major divisions in some places is the DEI ideology. Liberals /progressives hide behind this ideology and use it as a wedge issue against more traditional family-oriented voters. This DEI refers to diversity, equity, and inclusion. On the surface such words sound reasonable and fair. But the problem is the ideology becomes a kind of god and is used to reject all other beliefs including our historic Judeo-Christian civilization. This is problematic in the extreme. Children are being force fed perversion in public schools and taught that anything is "normal" because it is being inclusive, equal and diverse. That is where this becomes an ideology of extreme evil and destructive of normal society, marriage between a mother and father, and normal relationships. DEI also destroys free enterprise hiring by merit when businesses and government are forced to hire based on this DEI ideology. " 8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ." Colossians 2:8 KJV

What “deal”? Here’s an idea: Somebody steals everything in your house, kills one of your kids in the process, and then I’ll tell you sit down and “make a peace deal.” And their position is they will keep all your stuff and move into your home, or else they’ll kill your other kids. Would that be fair and reasonable? Or is it beyond your “compression”? Tell me how you’ll resolve that in one day.

Society is not becoming woke. If that were the case then the court would reflect Canadian values. It does not. Wokeness is not popular among Canadians. It is popular among urban university graduates of the humanities and liberal arts. Further, 'woke' has nothing to do with equality. It does not call for equality but equity. These are unrelated concepts. In many ways, they are complete opposites. Conservatives don't support 'trans rights' because the idea of gender fludity is contrary to evolution, biology, science and basic reality. It's a fad inflated by fanatics and the mentally ill. Conservatives generally don't have much problem with the rest, though they would prefer if it wasn't flaunted as some kind of magnificent life choice. If you want to be gay then go for it. Just don't demand I wave a damn rainbow flag, attend a stupid parade and applaud your bravery. Jesus, just shut the hell up about it. It's not my business. Why do you suppose he had to try to appoint a semi-retired judge? Why would you be sure of that? After more than a decade of Liberal appointees do you think there were a lot of conservative judges to choose from? You have a habit of getting your panties in a twist every time I mention something that is absolutely common knowledge and suggest that you know it too. Stop it. It's silly. My suggesting you know something is not an insult but a determination that you are politically active and sufficiently well-read to know something.

1. If society is becoming "woke" then what is the material change between society accepting women's equality, equality between races and so on ? How would you change the process to prevent social change, which it seems to me is what you are saying. Why do you think conservatives don't support things like LGBTQ+ trans rights and so on ? Do the conservative-appointed judges oppose LGBTQ+ advances ? I'm asking honestly. 2. Harper couldn't find a conservative judge ? That sounds like relativism, as I'm sure there are plenty of judges that vote conservative. If he couldn't find one, in all of the available candidates, that matched his values then isn't that just a comment on the changing values of the country generally ? Again, honest question.

Uh, judges are considered to be the height of wisdom? Why? Do they take wisdom courses or something? Are they selected and promoted based on their IQ? In a perfect world, judges would be selected based upon the clarity and brilliant legal arguments they make on paper or in oral arguments, and moved up the ladder according to how insightful and just they were. But we are not in that world and you know it. Judges are selected according to the following criteria 1 Must be from the province in question 2 Must be bilingual 3 Must be progressive 4 Number of diversity points So we have the latest judge appointed: Michelle O'Bonsawin, as an example. Her primary qualifications are she's a francophone native. While you ought to be appointed to the supreme court after decades of demonstrated legal and judicial brilliance she had been a judge for only six years when appointed. During that time she had not exactly made a name for herself with her insightful rulings. That would require unbiased judges, which we do not have.

Maybe I missed something about that little exchange, or misread.

Definitely can't forget "words are violence". People asking for a specific definition of the word woke, is like asking people to specifically define the word Karen. The definition will never be good enough for those offended by it, who attempt to dismiss it. It used to belong to the black community, as a means of giving a voice to those who didn't have one before (regarding discrimination, and similar social injustices plaguing this community). Its a derogatory term now. Has nothing to do with those fighting for progress in society. Everything to do with the extremist liberals who highjacked the word, under guise of fighting for progress for all. Its mocking social justice warriors. Those who are so brittle sheltered and privileged, they demand for speech and freedoms to be curbed because they can't handle it. Protest on the behalf of others. Offended on the behalf of others. Trans ideology today, is the definition of woke. Demands for speech to be outlawed by the most extreme. The suppression of women (or womanhood), for the elevation of another group to highjack it. Protecting trans people, from dangerous words. People in prior generations fought to be treated the same. Imagine. The N word isn't illegal. You could call me it at any given moment. Its not nice, racist even, but its not illegal. It shouldn't be. Thats freedom of speech. Anyone against such freedoms in a democratic society, are the definition of the current definition of woke. How is it, that there are people in this group, that feel ok to push for legislation that would make misgendering illegal? Defunding of the police? Removing the meaning of woman or womanhood, and turning it into a hollow word that means nothing? Making masculine men toxic, and pushing for the feminizing of men? Teaching gender ideology to kids? The N word holds more weight, in terms of the history behind it. Where is the outrage of what happens in the black community? It only fits this group, when the narrative allows them to sew division and gain control. "People may die". Really? You mean like lynched daily, for existing, and no laws to protect them from this? Someone woke by today's derogatory definition is essentially a keyboard activist, pseudo intellectual loud mouth that believes in the suppression of rights and speech, forcing others to walk on eggshells, and conform to their heightened sense of morality because their comfort and sense of selves matters more.

Whatever...maybe you should move?

We have a visitor from the UK at our work this week. The guy went to the grocery store and was shocked at our food prices. He told us the price of food in Canada right now is about double that in the UK. There are massive protests in UK every day about prices for food and tuition, and for citizens rights to be paid fairly. Canadians are too complacent.

Two people were assaulted in seperate incidents at beer stores was in the news but since you live under a rock you wouldn't know rhat so doncarry on blathering

I guess going to the Pride parade means he’s not a bigot? Ridiculous identity politics. How dumb do you think people are? Gay people exist and have the same rights as heterosexuals. So what? We don’t need flags for people with certain sexual lifestyles or identities on school flag poles, or we need all flags for all identity groups. What about BLM, every First Nation, Sri Lanken wrestlers, Latinx albino strippers…? Or is it only certain chosen groups? It’s strange and pushing certain lifestyles and groups to fly such a flag in front of schools. It’s not bigoted to question this. Many people don’t want this on various grounds, religious and otherwise. It doesn’t make them bigots. If you want to put a flag in your office, car, etc., feel free. Don’t try to push your ideological perspective on everyone else.

You put me on IGNORE because I asked you to not call people groomers. Ok... fly your flag Mr. Thriver... "Gaslighting is my red line that if crossed you're blocked." "I don't argue. I love debate." You sure talk about yourself a lot...

For starters you left a few words out.....Every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to equal protection and equal benefit under the law without discrimination. And then there's Section 15(2) of the Charter.

The provincial governments of British Columbia and Ontario have determined that speech in the public's interests should be more protected when it comes to defamation lawsuits than speech which is not (and have put it into law). Especially the kind of lawsuits that are intended to 'suppress debate on matters of public interest'. And of course it's the courts that have to deal with these matters. So yeah, some speech is more protected than other speech. After deciding whether it's a matter of public interest, the courts then have to take into consideration whether 'protecting free debate on matters of public interest (without fear of lawsuits) outweighs harm done to the plaintiff'. Now add in constitutional concerns. You're making this into some kind of freedom of speech RIGHTS issue which it clearly is not.

Please do post it. A fetid gasbag helping illiterate ploughboys . . . . can it get any more Canadian than that?

FYI your own post is a snotty mischaracterization of the video. I'm not sure how you get a feeling of superiority from managing to one-down that guy. Canada has moved on from being a free country to what it has been under Trudeau. It seems free to you, because you're doing exactly what you want to do, but just like the people in Germany who felt liberated by being allowed to openly express their bigotry, you feel liberated by living in a country where the federal gov't forces people to do things that you want them to do. IE, what you're experiencing isn't "fweeeeeedom", as a young Kamala Harris would say, it's the joy of living in a place where the gov't's fascism matches your fascism.

So, if you’re ok with not trying to make everyone equal (whatever that entails), why are you complaining about the provinces not being treated equal? Your 2 points seem contradictory.

Loss of life for covid under Biden wasn't much better. Biden had a vaccine to work with. Trudeau caused underlying issues. Trumps were blatant. One thing he did not cause, was unnecessary panic. Trudeau caused unnecessary crises with all the lockdowns and fear mongering, from unprecedented levels of drug overdoses, homelessness and women seeking shelter further alienated in abusive relationships. Trump is a bull in a China shop. Trudeau is a clumsy kid running with a box of eggs. Only difference, is one is better at hiding the damage that they have done. What you also won't know until later, are all the people with cancer, who stopped screening not due to shortages, but due to guilt. Fear. Doctors were pleading. The amount of people with serious mental health issues, exacerbated by Trudeaus policies. I have seen several people I know, who are now homeless. Had jobs prior to the pandemic.

You need to get your meds adjusted. The dude insults people with practically every post he makes.

Except for all those reports they were sending up the ladder to Trudeau and Blair and the privy council office and the PM's national security advisor, and the foreign affairs minister, you mean? It's a vague possibility that the government was 'in the dark' on these matters, but only if they were so utterly uncaring about national security matters (which I grant you would not be out of character for them) that they couldn't be bothered to read any of the reports or memos.

Yes - sorry did you need to have it explained who we were talking about when we refer to the chinese gov't interfering? I kind of felt that was obvious. They were "Targeting" him. That means a variety of things. Collecting information, preparing to take action against relatives such as getting them fired or harassing or the like which requires prep, perhaps funnelling money into his campaign so they can pressure him later, collecting "dirt" on him or his family that could be used to hurt or blackmail. Just because you put someone in your crosshairs doesn't mean you've pulled the trigger. But if they found evidence that this kind of thing was happening and the chinese were PREPARING to pull the trigger if they wanted then that is something he and his family should know. Well you're wrong, you just misunderstand what the concern here is.

China has an unusual number of 'diplomats' in Canada. Three times more than it has in Australia, more than it has in the UK, almost the same number as it has in the US. Most of them are spies. https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/why-does-canada-have-a-disproportionately-high-number-of-chinese-diplomats-1.6408620

Stop feeding the troll. Instead, put trolls on your Ignore list. It’s easy!

Certainly, you can. But of course, that would fail if the kettle was, in fact, black. True enough. So all you'd have to do is demonstrate this to a court and they'd throw out the lawsuit against you. However, the SC stated that the speech involved here was NOT hate speech. This ought to mean there should be some interpretation done by the courts if someone gets called names in public, if they are defamed, so to speak. It's interesting that given this court has used hypothetical possibilities or cases to strike down laws, however unlikely those possibilities might be it seems to be saying in this case that since the individual got re-elected, well, all's good. But what about future cases where someone loses their job? Their scholarship? Their place at college because someone started calling them undeserved names? And as one example we could do worse than JK Rowling. As immensely popular and successful as she is, as much effort and money as she's devoted to Left-wing causes since becoming rich, she is now persona non grata to most of the Left and their organizations. There'd be riots at any university which dared to allow her to come speak or read her work. She has to hire a ton more security to protect her everywhere she goes. She's inundated with threats of rape and death. All because she politely disagreed on the holy trans issue. So no, you don't have to praise Hitler to draw thunderous condemnation down on you. And you might well say she's rich enough and powerful enough to survive cancellation, and she is, but many other are not and have been squashed by vitriolic campaigns of character assassination launched by fanatics of the church of woke. But you feel they should have no recourse under the law to sue their harassers. I know it establishes that people who accuse other people of being bigots, racists, homophobes, transphobes, etc., are acting for the noble good of all mankind and so cannot be sued by the wretched, evil, blasphemous heretics who have dared to go against the holy writ of woke.

why are so many people leaving Canada ?

That post was a long time ago. I am not entirely against the convoy. I understand Trudeau was or is a kind of dictator. I am very much opposed to Trudeau's liberal ideology, globalism, and progressivism to begin with and I do sympathize with some of the protester's beliefs.

Confused? No, he's just a mediocre troll who gets his jollies from being a sphincter.

Again, I don't need to convince you. No one should be forced to get an EV at this stage, and no one is. But 300+ kms a charge on a tech that's only been around in any usable nature for what 5 years? That's pretty good IYAM. It'll get way better in the next 5. No, but if we're using Roadtrips as the main obstacle to EV adoption, it's pretty silly to say I won't accept all these benefits, because I may have to take an extra pee break on my annual road trip.
