I guess the outrage was legitimate, but the whole thing was a sideshow in the end. And it had nothing to do with actual policy, it made no impact or changes on how these things are handled in the future. In the non-lying version I mean. Looking at this another way, the right actually solved the problem by bringing so much attention that he was shamed out of his ridiculous act.

I'm suggesting that insurance companies don't act out of hysteria, they are bean counters who deal in numbers.

Ya, tell that to all people who can no longer get home insurance or a mortgage because insurance companies have pulled out of areas that have become much riskier to insure because of more severe weather. Insurance companies look at nothing but risk, ideology or politics don't matter.

Ok, any cite? I only recall general suspicion and suspension of judgement on it as it just seemed like a bizarre story.

Better analogy might be parents that have tried to deny their teens cancer treatments. Courts have already said that teens do have some agency in seriously life altering medical decisions. Which is why I think the courts will go more of a middle ground, even if the CPC goes hard into social conservative territory. I don't think that they will though, at least not Deep South USA style. We are Canada in the end. Re: Permanent effects I'd actually say it's poorly researched and it's not well known one way or another. I've gone through that dilemma personally. One of many things that really ought to be, and that knowledge should inform laws and policy. An awful lot of government money was spent on LGBT but unfortunately not on good to know things like this. But no, it's not like you just take a few hormones or blockers during puberty and that's all folks. You have to keep taking them for life to get the desired effects.

Geez @WestCanMan...... i think you broke him. He's meme'ing and everything

Q for leftards: if he was briefly a female, is his DNA still guilty for all of the slavery in the history of the world?

Don't need one these guys will make one up in their heads to condemn. Like FFS not even a full page of discussion and they devolve into tranny discussions like that should be the main event at the CPC convention. Start their own party PCP the Paleo Conservative Party.... So far lots of Trudeau bashing and vague policies with no detail on how they'd be achieved. Added Sweep It Under The Rug (carbon capture) to Axe The Tax to complete their Climate policy.

Ted Cruz is full of nonsense and nobody here is going to watch an hour of him lying in the US Senate. I watched as far as him claiming that democratically-elected President Lula of Brazil is anti-American. The truth is that Lula beat Jair Bolsonaro, who wanted to seize dictatorial control of Brazil. Let me put this as simply as possible: America needs to have trade and a warm, cordial relationship with Brazil and every other nation we can, because if we don't, Russia and China will. The US has embargoed Cuba for 60 years. Has that improved anything for the Cuban people?

Shocking Confrontation With Mayorkas Leads Sec To Call His Conduct 'Revolting'

'Take A Look At This Image!': Ted Cruz Reveals Shocking Video Still During Hearing How many children are now taken by pedophiles or human traffickers?

Warm welcome for the Fuhrer

Georgia prosecutor Fani Willis recently filed a motion in Federal Court to seal the identities of jurors in her upcoming Trump corruption trial. In her filing, she showed proof that the names, addresses and even the GPS coordinates of the grand jury members who indicted Trump are being hosted on Russian web servers and the Russian government has refused to remove this information. So here you see, the Russian government is complicit in efforts which will lead to harassment, intimidation and potentially violence towards jurors.

Yea the drag thing I've never understood. It originated as adult entertainment not intended for children. Dressing as a caricatcure of a woman (like this guy) isn't the same as dressing normally and just trying to fit in. It's not akin to transgender at all though it got lumped in somehow? I mean pretending to be trans is about as deplorable as it gets. Like blackface gets so much hate but this is the same. Guy should have been fired first day for this. Anyone who would do this just to get a firing settlement probably isn't safe to be around kids. Why the school board waited is beyond me.

At some point in time someone is going to call out all the free loaders to which Canada seems to be the leader off...and Kick us out of the alliances we have joined, Lets not forget that all of these alliances have rules and policies very few of them we are following.. In fact we actually taunt them to their faces and say F*uck you we are not playing that game....we don't deserve that protection you say we depend on... Canadians should be disgusted at how we act on the international front...we would be the first nation to call out any nation that did the same....everything in this country is broken including the people...we are nothing more than spoiled children, and one day dads going put his foot down...

^^This guy knows how to party! ??

Thursday we lost a true Canadian hero, one that was honored by his selfless acts in combat by being issued the star of military valor....To his family and friends this hero will be missed by the entire Royal family. His sacrifice and bravery will be talked about for many years to come, he joins a long list of hero's that grace RCR museum, and walls of remembrance his name will always be used as someone to look up to and immolate as a soldier. may God bless you, May you rest in peace, and share a few beers with the rest of the fallen. Soldier praised for heroism in Afghanistan dies (msn.com)

Recover economy from what? Lowest unemployment in history? LMAO I guess it's not that great in Canada. tsk tsk

The UK is worse. Sad to see. Just seeing climate activists forcing hundreds of cars to idle, showcases the lack of education. I would disown a niece or nephew doing this.

Yup. My advice is for all democrats who are worried to pull up their stakes and move to Palestine, where the climate is safer and they will be welcomed by their Muslim allies.

Call me crazy. I will laugh once one gets run over. Literally the least contributing types in society.

He's just permanently stuck in leftist debate phase 2 now (sandbox insults), he isn't even bothering to go through phase 1 anymore (lying). I guess it's an improvement if it cuts the lying down? I dunno, small victories...

Trudeau Carbon Taxes Blamed For Massive Forest Fires -Dertmouth Denier Sep 9, 2023 A delegate to the CPC Convention stood up and blamed Trudeau's Carbon Tax as the root of this summer's massive forest fire outbreaks. Joe Idget of Owl's Arse, Alberta explained to fellow delegates how he, like thousands of others, as a two pack a day smoker has been so impoverished by exorbitant Liberal carbon taxes that he can't afford a Dollar Store plastic ashtray for his pickup truck. "Not only have the Liberals banned the sale of vehicles with ashtrays and lighters, to the extent of renaming cigarette lighters to 12V outlets, Trudeau has literally mandated us to toss our butts out the window. This has been the cause of 99% of the fires started this year" His speech was met with loud applause by fellow delegates.

There are fakers everywhere that do it to gain financial or other advantages. What about the fake indigenous people at universities to get high paying jobs? What about the woman in Hamilton that faked cancer and got toms of money form Go Fund Me. Whenever there is a possibility of scamming, it will be done. It is not a matter of left or right, it is often an matter of not questioning because of the possibility of embarrassing backlash.

Hey Nazialist, you do realize no-one watches your videos ?. Grow a spine, good first step into developing a brain

LOL - it kind of reminds me of a teacher i had who was religious. He was a PE teacher and everything he told us to do he justified by trying to tie it to biblical verse, often with hilarious results. But- everything he looked at and though of he ran through the filter of his religion. CLimate people today are the same. If prices go up - it must be climate change. If there's more reruns on tv - thats climate change. If you don't like vanilla ice cream that MUST mean you're a climate denier. Those really big assed hairy spiders that you find in the garage? Climate change puts them there. SO when they see an area get a change in status for insurance - it MUST be climate change. But what they didn't know is that suddenly out of the blue in 2020 the major insurers also stopped insuring a wide number of strata buildings in vancouver. For the reasons i mentioned above. They'd taken beatings on their insurance portfolios for years for various reasons and they wanted to only accept low risk - it wasn't that the risk had changed, it was that they simply had less appitite for it. So was that climate change? Nope. But - everything they see is definitely climate change. I swear - if the stains don't come out of their shirt they think its because climate change is affecting the tide.

1. So you don't see any outrage from the left then? That's seems to be what I was saying. 2. Find some leftist groups, or maybe posters on here, that Express support for him other than the generic restating of policy. Something that says they believe this story, that he was actually a woman who needed to wear those ridiculous prosthetics. 3. What is pretending to ignore it? You either make a comment on something or you don't. 4. I already commented on this, and now we're not talking about the latest events but rehashing posts from before. You can go to search those out but my point I think was that systems, and layers of bureaucracy between provincial government, Ministry of education, school board, unions etc. would not have had any way to detect a troll in the situation. I think I suspected they would either wait it out, or try to do nothing. They pretty much did nothing and were rewarded, thanks mostly to the right wingers who were duped by the fake woman teacher.

My impression is that UK healthcare spending is considerably lower than that of France by most measures: https://www.health.org.uk/news-and-comment/charts-and-infographics/how-does-uk-health-spending-compare-across-europe-over-the-past-decade That Spectator article quoted in the OP is heavy on anecdotes but does concede that the French system is ‘slightly’ more expensive. Like Canada, both systems aim to provide universal health care - ultimately, the government is the main payer. However, mandatory personal health insurance seems to be a feature of many successful systems, e.g. Germany, France, the Netherlands, and it’s something we should consider here. (BTW I’m not sure our doctors would like the incomes of their French counterparts. Another day’s work.) In fairness, all these countries have advantages of population density over us. I think our best peer is Australia - similarly vast and sparsely inhabited with a federal system, high standard of living and an indigenous population. On many measures, the land down under is moving ahead of us.

Ahhh - in order to continue your lie you have to change it to 'charged" i said accused of. Russian collusion comes to mind For like 3.5 years. Due to a dossier then democrats created that was false. But if you want to go to charges the charges in new york where they tried to bundle a bunch of misdemeanors and claim it was a felony was very obviously a fake charge. And most legal experts thought so. The lefties have "cried trump" so many times that it just has no meaning now. Which is why he's going up in the polls with every charge now. Like he said "I'm one indictment away from winning the presidency".

Sorry.

You’re next, Lloyd Henreid.

Here you go, blowhard: If meeting Lula da Silva is so evil, then why did George Bush meet with twice him back in 2005, when he was President? Bush hosted then-President Lula at the White House, and then Bush flew to Brazil to meet Lula? “President (Lula) is right, relations between Brazil and the United States are essential, and they are strong. We've had many constructive discussions. I remember the first time you came to the Oval Office, and I was most impressed by your strong commitment to your program of zero hunger. ” - George Bush https://georgewbush-whitehouse.archives.gov/news/releases/2005/11/20051106-1.html

No lady. What you’re doing is absurd: ”Hi, it’s me, Betsy! Here’s 45 minutes of video. They prove I’m right! If you don’t watch all 45 minutes of my video and rebut every single point, then it proves I’m right.” If you want to write out the transcript of that video so I can read it, I’ll take it apart for you word for word. But I said what needs to be said about the democratically elected leader of the largest country in South America. An isolationist foreign policy opens the doors for Russia and China to gain control of the resources and strategic interests of nations around the globe. It is foolhardy.

well I would not want a VC to be awarded for anything less than what they have been awarded for historically but that's the whole point in this specific case, Larochelle met the standard and you can break it down into the component parts of the action then compare and contrast it with historic VC's bear in mind that the VC would not be for Larochelle personally he had never sought any glory for himself the VC is for the Regiment, the Corps, the Army, the Nation something everyone could take pride in so to use your NHL analogy this is like the RCR won the Stanley Cup, with Larochelle scoring the winning goal, game 7 in OT then government bureaucrats stepped in and cancelled the series moreover, the bureaucrats don't even have a case if you read the excuses as to why they say the VC cannot be awarded it's all made up bullshit, there is no rule against it it just comes down to the bureaucrats got it wrong in the first place and now they will go to any lengths no matter how absurd, simply to refuse to admit it and that's Canada Canada always gets it wrong with anything military related then just stays the course relentlessly, no matter how imbecilic the results

Who would he have met with??? There were at least 10 groups that all had different agendas and no one had any real organization to them. Name them. As was found out at the inquiry, the groups were at worst a clusterf#ck and at best a bunch of disorganized wannabes.

They're all mouth! Just like in other forums. When challenged, they try to change the issue.

@Rebound @NYLefty "He's a joke," is not a rebuttal. ? Instead of simply giving knee-jerk opinions that means squat.....................why don't yo two, actually refute what he's saying in the video! Lol - if the politician he's grilling ( who, of all people, should know) can't give an answer.......... maybe you two can?

Comparing legitimate prosecutions with Jewish persecution by Nazis is ridiculous. "If you can't do the time, don't do the crime." How would you feel if Trudeau tried to remain in power after losing an election like Trump did?

Yep. Exactly. US Krystallnacht has finally begun.

According to rebound it can be both somehow. You can be both pre meditated AND spontaneous at the same time. I assume the riots were actually lead by someone named Schrodinger.

Ok, then why don’t you tell us?

Thanks. I was just thinking to myself: "I wonder what the racists think about Ted Cruz?"

So - just got off the phone with my doc and lucky enough having that mental image scarred into your brain by some ass on the internet is in fact considered grounds for MAID. I'll be seeing him tuesday. (you unmitigated dinglewart!)

Yea I don't disagree it's gone too far the other way. The problem used to be that you couldn't change gender until you'd done everything (i.e. sex change surgery, which is usually done last). Which was not really ideal either because you had to live 'as a female' for a year or more before qualifying. And it pushed people into doing the surgery, whether they really wanted to do that last step or just live outwardly as female. To me, the defining line should be that you are on hormones. That's really the gold standard for whether you're transitioning or not. Also its never said much in the media but if you're on hormones it's almost akin to what they give for chemical castration. The odds of any male ever going that far to abuse women is pretty much zero.

T is a smaller minority within LGBT than LGBT is to the entire population. And a ton of LGBT activists aren't even LGBT themselves, it is almost like a religion to some. So yea T really isn't represented well. The issues raised aren't ones that really matter to most trans. The amount of elite trans athletes is vanishingly small. The locker room / bathroom thing, similar... most trans aren't going to even go those places until they're comfortable and far along. If there was a #1 issue it'd be what medical care the government does and does not provide. Varies a ton by province which pretty much means its political and not science backed.

Who? What’s the lobby group called? Where are they active?

Thousands of people weee arrested as a result of those riots. It is true that it’s not possible to have a “mostly peaceful” riot just like the insurrection is not “mostly peaceful” either. What you fail to understand is that while there wee many violent riots there were also many zero-violence protests around the country that did not result in riots or violence or destruction, hence the “mostly peaceful” reference as 92% of recorded protests did not result in riots and therefore did not make it on Fox News or the other right wing outlets. So I guess it really depends on what you want to include or exclude. 100% or protests are violent if you’ve already decided you will only count the violent ones.
