I don't share your negative outlook. When I was a child, living in British Columbia, racism was accepted. First Nations people did not have the right to vote. People of African, Japanese and Chinese descent were decriminated against and that was seen as okay. Jews were denied entry to many clubs, restaurants and businesses. In the area I lived in in the west Kootenays, Doukhobors were shunned. Can you imagine that a community like that who are devoted to peace and devotion were looked down on by their neighbours. In 1975, a student at the U of S came out as gay and the Faculty Association executive met to have him expelled. Fortunately, the President of the Faculty Association spoke up and explained if the student was forced to leave for being a homosexual, so would he, for the same reason. Crime is down. Racism still exists but it has undergone a dramatic decline since I was a kid. We are living in a country that is blessed with the bounty God gave us. We live in peace. Our standard of living is incredible, compared to any other country. Our spiritual life is evolving, but God doesn't give a rat's pajamas how you lable yourself. It only cares that you treat others in the manner you would wish to be treated.

America HAS ALWAYS been great. In the 1950's it was ONLY great for white males and their CLOSE friends, and that is the MESSAGE of MAGA: go back to white supremacy; when only white heterosexuals had legal privileges. ?

While this is partially true...its only partially true. A real "democracy" provides the electorate opportunities to vote in their preferred candidate based of the information they are given by the media. However...if said media does not present the entire spectrum of a candidate's positions, the electorate is destined to cast votes without knowing all the facts. This sort of BS has been happening with more and more regularity. The media chooses sides and promotes that side while demeaning the other side. That's called propaganda. The kind found in places like Russia...NAZI Germany...Communist China...and today its happening the USA and Canada. That's not real democracy...its fascism.

CdnFox and Army Guy, you two really need to just bloody well put each other on ignore.

My reading test? What does that have to do with mocking the latest of dozens of near-identical threads you've posted over the last year whining generally about the state of the country. Everything is bad. Everything is wrong. Solutions? Suggestions? "Don't worry about it. Just read my word-vomit of complaints."

That appears to be a misrepresentation of his views. But you know that. Utterly irrelevent.

EVERYTHING is BAD. We have to do SOMETHING, by myata. Chapter 103

That is a fact. If the public decides it want certain people, they vote for them Just because it does not fit your idea of democracy, that, in fact is democracy and what happens.

Bolded is the only thing you said in that entire ramble that even had a kernel of a point, so I'll answer that first: The personal beliefs of a clueless tool on the internet are not relevant for any sort of investigation. Neither of us know who was actually investigated (or who may still be under investigation), but you do need evidence to prosecute. Whether or not any of the BLM organization's leadership incited riots, we can probably assume they didn't tape themselves storming government buildings in tactical gear calling for the overthrow of the US government. The rest of your post? Just more of your performative jackassery.

(emphasis by me) This is my big problem. I mean, there's lots of corrupt charities and special interests out there. PETA is horrible as an example. But - these guys are doing REAL harm and promoting racism rather than fighting it. And they're spreading violence and real damages. They go beyond corruption.

I know. These Libbies have no honour. Its all about hatred for them. Unfortunately, they've managed to cow the judiciary and the media. That BLM org is as dirty as a 2-bit whore and everyone knows it. But does anyone do anything about it? Hell no! That would be "racist". These jack-asses actually magnify any racism that might exist.

Above. Jeez dude if you don't read your own posts how can you expect us to? Ohhh look - he's losing the argument so once again he's changing the topic. The question was - was blm investigated and were people charged as a result. And you know the answer and you lied about it so now you're trying to change the subject to one you think you can win. The answer is they weren't. Protesters were, and it's possible some were BLM supporters (it doesn't mention - it doesn't even mention how many were counter protesters), but BLM was not. Fact is - i DO believe BLM had something to do with organizing a lot of riots, if not these ones in particular then others. And i think as @Nationalist said, they should have been investigated and prosecuted. But they weren't. Were they. AAAAANND lying again to cover your own failings. "projection deflection and 'get back here with those goalposts" are all key words for the left that mean "Oh shit, he's right but i can't just admit that" When i have i ever denied the election? Oh that's right - you're trying to change the channel again. Can't discuss the original point because you know you've already got caught lying about it. Pathetic. Try being truthful next time. It'll serve you better .

Where did I admit that? Are you literally trying to argue that BLM had absolutely nothing to do with the millions of people that protested in 2020? George Floyd never happened? ? aaand the projection again. You and Nationalist, the Trumpy election denier - what a great combo. ?

1970s? When it realized 'all men are created equal' meant brown people and women too? When it got the brains to pull out of an unwinnable war that the people didn't support? When everyone knew you couldn't lob nukes without total annihilation? When they first noticed what people did could f*** up the whole planet? When Presidents had a sense of shame and resigned instead of bragging about it. When everyone knew that 'because he could beat you up' didn't make a school bully a hero and role model? When people laughed at Archie Bunker instead of wanting to be him? When people could watch Star Trek TOS, MASH and Walter Cronkite and weren't snivelling in public they were too "woke"? When they could actually run and vote for a Socialist candidate and not be intimidated? Basically in the days Americans could say "Enough is enough!"

So you admit you were lying and weren't talking about BLM before. None of which had anything to do with BLM apparently. You can see what he's doing here @Nationalist He knows he lost the point, and he's angry it was discovered he "bent the truth" in his reply where he made fun of you, and now he's going to try to change the argument from your point to "does BLM actually mean BLM or does it mean just people who riot". BLM was not investigated for this, no blm people were arrested as a result of such an investigation. But they should have been. Even if the people arrested weren't blm, for those demonstrations that turned into riots that BLM organized directly they should be held to account. Moonbox just doesn't want to talk about that. Doesn't fit the leftie propaganda points.

Isn’t it interesting that a couple of dozen men and women who were, basically Neolithic shepherds, still have a significant influence on US and Canadian politics 3500 years later.

So you're back to just out and out lying. BLM or Black Lives Matter isn't even mentioned once in that whole link. It doesn't even say they are blm protests that these people were attending. So this has nothing to do with blm. You just made that up. I don't know why i bother giving you the benefit of the doubt. So you're unaware of any investigation of BLM for their roles in any of this and NOBODY has been charged as a result. @Nationalist was right and you were not being an honest poster. How's your twitter feed doing.

True story. That's why we need to put the leftists' money where their mouthes are.

Well he's certainly free to go donate to any black person he likes. The thing is - part of the liberal mind set is that we must spend money to right the wrongs of the past and the inequities of the present, but the OTHER part of the liberal mindset is that we must do this with OTHER people's money.

There was nothing quesitonable about the 2016 election, but that didn't stop the dems trying to fake evidence against trump before hand and spend the next 4 years claiming his presidency was illegitimate. Funny that, isn't it

Did I say I would beat on them? No. A nice visit to jail might do the trick. But they need to be prosecuted.

Why the fixation with Butts?

Absolutely. There's an old saying, i forget the author - "I don't want to be the leader, i want to control the selection process". The CBC is the one that really tips the scales, because as a state broadcaster it's SUPPOSED to be neutral and people tend to take it that way. There's a lot of people for whom it's the only real media source they consume regularly. Then you get the gov't itself, working hard to control the information getting out there. Now - most gov'ts do that but an aggressive media and effective opposition tend to counter balance that. But - most of the media goes very light on the gov't and doesn't ask the tough questions or dig into scandals. And they underreport on negative stories for the gov't. and overreport on negative stories for the party they don't like. The more you control the flow of information the more you control the outcome.

Well if they used gasoline to do it they're total hypocrites

Because I accept that Biden won?

The CBC and Toronto Star are the most used news sources in Canada. Neither of them present a "fair and balanced" view of all political parties. That's called "propaganda". Hitler used propaganda...Zelinsky uses it...Putin uses it...the CCP use it...and Pixie-Dust uses it. This propaganda warps reality in the minds of the electorate. Thus the votes are cast by an uninformed electorate.

While what you say has some merit, the thing is "media" is innumerable sources. As can be seen on this forum alone, there are sufficient sources of media to be able to prove your point with links to "media". The issue with "media" is which one you choose to follow or believe. There are obvious left and right media but there are many non partisan media that really do not care who is in power. The choice of "media" is yours. We are a democracy and the "media" behaviours is proof of that. Nothing like Russia, communist china or other dictatorships (I will not address NAZI Germany as that is the last resort of folks with nothing of value to add). Even in the USA there are lots of non partisan "media" So, blaming "media" is cop out. And claiming fascism is absurd. Canada and Canadian politics are as far from fascism as you can get. https://world101.cfr.org/historical-context/world-war/what-fascism

Are you a standard Maga, or the kind of Maga that benefits from great public payed for programs?

Checkin in again and I see the mental defective who this thread was started about has almost every single thread in the top 20 of both US Fed and State topics. Yep there's a few here who try and humor the wingnut and actually attempt discussion with howler monkey only to have crap slung on them. But my question is what the hell kind of life does this Reason 10 dingaling have. My Lord he's on this forum 24/7 maintaining his self gratifying slew of insults and degradation on over 30 topics, which he feverishly monitors. I feel pity for this poor deranged nut.

Congratulations You have just won the George C Wallace Award for the most blatantly racist post in this entire thread.

No, it simply states that calling Biden “unelected” is false. Because Trump lost. Since you people refuse to admit that, we have to repeat it a lot.

This is the most childish, most misconstrued thread I ever read. From OP who looks like an absolute fanatic using very simple vocabulary to the Communists polluting the space, this thread is a dump from start to finish. And I'm here to shit on it, making it even trashier.

ROFLMAO - that was priceless Take my upvote See AA? Taking shots at you is just good clean fun for everyone

Whoa, you've got a meme. That means that there's at least one person on this planet who can put text on a photo that's as dumb as you are. I'm pretty sure that the Nazis would be the parties who are cancelling free speech, printing gesundheitspasses, enacting martial law, forcing people to inject mystery serums that don't do what they're supposed to, using the federal police force as a political weapon, reciting hate speeches against minorities on TV etc, just like the earlier version of Nazis did. I know that you're gonna pretend that none of that happened, but that's par for the course. You're a liar and a self-proclaimed domestic terrorist - one of Biden's (unofficial - Antifa doesn't really exist teehehe) brownshirts.

If I need to spell out to you the difference between actually not caring, and a tongue and cheek comment, you have showcased precisely why debating with you is a waste of breath. o_O I don't see myself as a better human being like you do, simply because of my contributions to this world. I was raised humble, and virtue signaling isn't part of my DNA. You're digging up out of context comments I've made, many of which tongue in cheek or devoid of context and are trying to use them in current threads to dismiss anything I say--like a passive aggressive wife who keeps telling you she's "fine", but then picking fight with every side comment that she makes, because you chose to go play hockey with your buddies and got a "no problem" from her, assuming all was fine. She wanted to spend time together, but is passive, so didn't want to be direct to you about her needs, so preferred to go around the way to annoy you until you got it. You literally debate like my ex wife, is the point being made. My current wife, is straight to the point, and direct. No need for debate, as she tells it like it is. I've debated with her and disagreed, and respected her point of view, in disagreement even if I did not like her stance on a certain subject. She has done the same. Point being made, is you give respect, and you tend to get it--hope my spelling things out is helping. So if I'm the worst type, you're a close second, and ultimately beat me because of my false start disqualifying me from contention :cP A word you should have tattooed on your large intestine, as its as full of s*** as you are. I don't virtue signal, so unfortunately won't talk about how great am doing for this planet--that's your job. My mother raised me to be humble. Also, with all your finger wagging, just note there are three more pointing right back at you. Thanks for reminding me that blocking you was best for all parties involved. Best of luck!

A person who commits acts of domestic terrorism under this banner is a Nazi:

no reasonable normal Canadian off the street would say that only crazy people om the internet say shit like that Canadians know

Reparations were paid to the SURVIVORS of internment camps . I agree that any slaves who still survive today should get reparations. To people who are dead. Which is unfortunate. But it's far too late to compensate them for any injustices. Sorry, but that's just how it works. If we tried to go back in time and correct every one of man's injustices to man we'd chase our tail for eternity. In the past bad things happened. But we can't fix the past. If they were alive today, as the survivors of the interment camps were, then maybe. We owe NOTHING to those who were never slaves to begin with.

No one has suggested colonialism was an unparalleled good, nor that it wasn't covered with warts. But refusing to acknowledge the good it did is nothing but a dishonest product of the West's habit of self-abasement before any and all minority that rants at them.Just as a start, if the white men had never come to this hemisphere the natives would still be in the stone age, still brutalizing, murdering, enslaving and torturing each other, and still living a hand-to-mouth existence and dying young.

Wow, that post is undeniable proof that you're a real winner.

Trump banned flights from China on Jan 29th or 30th. There were 5 dead Americans and the WHO was telling the world that covid probably wasn't spreading H2H. Go look that up. Leftists are so God-damned stupid that you all thought that was racist. You completely lacked the ability to see any wisdom in that. Simple sayings that even children understand, such as "Avoid it like the plague" and "Err on the side of caution", are just way over your head. You prefer leftist sayings like "Err on the side of pandemic." Sorry, that's really stupid. Leftards were bareley even talking about covid back then. The DNC primary was all about Trump and "Ukrainian collusion" of all things (they were still pretending not to know about Hunter's ridiculous loot tour). They're so God-damned stupid that even you like them. Wanna guess why 40,000 people flew from China to the US???? Because they were Americans. They were either born-and-raised US citizens or people who had immigration status that allowed them to be in the US and Trump brought his people home because that's where they belong during a health crisis. He never even thought about abandoning his people in their time of need, unlike Hillary, Obama and Biden. The reason why conservatives find you so repugnant is you don't think like that. Abandoning Americans all over the world is a-ok for leftards. You have no character, just flaws, and chief among them are stupidity, ignorance, ruthlessness and credulity. Yes, I watch Fox News because I'm not a braindead alt-left cultist. I also get a lot of info off of FB and guess what, it didn't turn out to be disinformation. How did your love affair with CNN turn out? I know you can't admit it, but their track record for being wrong is pretty flawless. One other thing, when you single out Canadians it seems as though you're representing Americans, and every American with an IQ over 50 is really embarrassed by that. Maybe just say "All you high IQ bullies" instead, that way you're only representing your people - the dumbest 10% of Americans. I'm pretty sure that no one would argue. That's HOF worthy faceplant right there. FYI cognitive is something that you only experience when you allow conflicting ideas to battle it out in your own head. Ignorant people like you, who get completely sucked in by everything that you see on CNN and then run your mouth about it to your betters, find it too embarrassing to admit - EVEN TO YOURSELF - that you were 100% wrong, so you completely wall off any information or data that conflicts with the leftard screed that you loudly propagated earlier. In short, the fact that you don't experience cognitive dissonance isn't a good thing, it's proof that you live in a world that's a step beyond mere confirmation bias: you reject inconvenient facts as devoutly as animals avoid open flames. Buddy, the opposite of "experiencing cognitive dissonance" is "wallowing in ignorance", and that's where you live.

I suppose I'm the kind that prefers to think of how to improve things, rather than b*tching uselessly and generally to everyone and nobody in particular. ?‍♂️

You really don't. My whole life. Been here far longer than you, goof, and long enough to remember what the forum was like before hysterical culture-war clowns like you started shitting everything up. ?

Are you insinuating that our elections are comparable to putins'? If so, prove taht LOL Accountability is what it is. It is not there to please you or your definition. Your like or dislike of what you get to see is unimportant to all governments and to most people. Yup, democracy, voted in by the people. Like it or not, that is democracy.

Not sure if you're just trolling or you actually believe that. It's hard to tell with you now. That's just...completely wrong.

So besides blaming Trudeau for this problem too, what's a solution? I would suggest a start would be spending fewer billions and years studying and more time doing. Like maybe buy some unused industrial, non-agricultural land near transit access and servicing it as a mobile home park. With the gov't "study" money and no greedy landlord that wants $1000 a month just for a trailer pad.

Well it ain't over yet - this wildfire business is not helping her at all, and she's also got to deal with it while campaigning. Notley isn't taking a break or anything. The latest poll has the UCP up overall in popular vote, but the NDP is leading in the critical battlefield of Calgary. So the actual seat count projections went up by one or two for the ndp and down for the UCP, However the increase in votes solidifies a few close ridings so the chances of the UCP winning a majority went up even if they win with a couple less seats. The Odds of a UCP majority (reduced in seats) is now 77%

Being "leftist" and all, I think I should point out that I agree - "cancelling" Canada day is the wrong thing to do. Are they going to actually cancel the day - as in, no stat holiday and not allowing anyone to have any kind of Canada Day related celebration? Or are they cancelling city-sponsored celebrations, and everyone else can do what they want? If its the latter, is it just for this year or permanently? If they're cancelling city-sponsored events for this year only, I kind of get that as a gesture. If this gesture is followed up by something substantial (no idea what a municipality might do), then ok. But if it's just a gesture - good for a news cycle and then they forget about it, then I think its nothing more than virtue signaling.
