IIRC all that was contracted out was primary training. Might even have made sense to weed out the wannabees and incompetents flying toy airplanes instead of polluting the ranks with that process. What we are seeing now is continuation of the Big Turd's campaign to de-militarize the military and make them into a "peace keeping" entity with the sole task of delivering social engineering goals of Liberalism. I can so well remember a time (IIRC '69) when "people from Ottawa" came onto our base and interviewed every francophone NCO - offering them a guaranteed commission if they wanted to "get with the programme" (if you ever wondered why there seems to be a disproportionate number of officers from Quebec - that is where it started). The goal was to make the armed forces express Big Turd's "just society" - in other words effectively destroy pretty much everything in Canada, leaving us just with his society. The other thing civvies probably don't realize is that the armed forces and its procurement policies are little different from the rest of Canadian civil services - i.e. how the Feds tap the $$$$ of the rest of Canada to prop up Quebec. The Little Turd is just following in at least one of his Daddy's footsteps (which Daddy remains to be seen).

1. This isn't an argument. 2. I'm not Michael.

I say good. Win the election and them pardon all of the rioters sent to solitary. Frankly...the Biden admin, the DOJ and FBI should be ashamed of themselves for this...disgusting abuse of the law.

No, I'm going with the obvious fact the Left doesn't see Black people as entirely human. They hold them to different standards than they do white people on issues like crime, and feel that they need the help of the white knights of the Left to push them forward because they clearly aren't capable of competing with white people (or Asians, I guess). Thus the lower requirements to enter university, and the requirement of business and government to hire them... or else face punishment. If you thought they were as good as white people, after all, you wouldn't be opposed to merit hiring.

https://nationalpost.com/opinion/canadian-air-force-ends-pilot-training The Royal Canadian Air Force announced earlier this month that it will retire its fleet of pilot training jets and put the program on hiatus. Canada’s aspiring pilots will now travel to Texas, Finland and Italy to earn their wings. So ends a proud tradition of pilot training that during the Second World War saw Canada train more than 130,000 Allied aircrew, earning it the epithet “the aerodrome of democracy” from then U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt.

https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/why-poilievre-is-distancing-himself-corporate-canada The Conservative leader is ditching the traditional business luncheon circuits in Ottawa, Toronto or Montreal to speak directly to voters Traditionally, the Conservative Party of Canada, seen as the party closest to business groups, would meet with big banks and various chambers of commerce to get their message through to Canadians, said Dimitri Soudas, who was the director of communications to former prime minister Stephen Harper. Not anymore. Poilievre has been bypassing those events and instead speaking directly to blue-collar workers and union locals to get his message through. “We never did that (before),” said Soudas. On Friday, Poilievre told a full room of CEOs and lobbyists at the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade that he would be doing them no favours if he is elected prime minister and said that they would have to convince not just him, but Canadians, if they want to see policy changes implemented. He also slammed “utterly useless” corporate lobbyists in Ottawa, which he claimed are more interested in dining with cabinet ministers than working for people on the ground, and told corporate leaders to “stop sucking up” to the Liberal government, which he said is “doing the damage to our country.”

Again, pure lies. She certainly was not murdered. Established on video. Confirmed in court. She absolutely WAS part of the mob. After they smashed through the window she decided to be "the tip of the spear" and climb through it. She was literally climbing through the window when she was shot. You can watch it happen on video, you thick fark. Even the Republicans in the room hailed the officer as a hero for protecting them from the mob. It's just you fever-swamp loons who cling to these conspiracy theories and alternative realities.

A loser who got caught lying on another thread and is butthurt about it talks about clocks.

Yes, 100% - 60% equals 1. Your application of arithmetic skills are legendary around here. You must work for the government.

No, the willingness of you chuds to cheer PP's suckholing to Quebec.

The Conservatives will blow it eventually, which is why we need term limits, at least for the PMO.

So now when YOU give a cite it's "spoonfeeding" and being nice despite your constant demands of others Show me where it says you have the right to offend other people. Show me where it says you can misgender them. It doesn't. Anywhere. And in the cases i already cited to you the judges explain why the charter does not apply to misgendering. I've already supplied that. So you already know that your statement above is not applicable. So where's the cite mike? Again - show me where it says you have the right to misgender people. And where have i been using caps lock? Nothing in the last three posts, don't recall any before that. Gee mike - its as if you realized you were a lying sack and are trying to make it sound like I'm the unreasonable one to deflect from your own stupidity. Hey mike - if you have to lie to make your point - you don't have a point. And you don't have a point. I think we're done here, this conversation is for adults and you're just not up to it. You do not have the right to misgender anyone. Sorry for your ignorance.

He needs to quit sniffing glue. And maybe learn english.

Huh...you need to quit drinking.

1) Ashli Babbit was murdered 2) Ashli Babbit wasn't part of a mob that was bashing her way through anything. There's a video of her trying to get guys to stop smashing the windows, and trying to get the nearby police to stop people from smashing glass. They were literally just looking away while it was happening right beside them. 3) You're still the biggest liar and 1d10t on this forum. Robo and eyeball can't hold a candle to you.

You think the rest of him is still alive?

Why would you ask? The subject at hand is "do you have a legal right to misgender someone". A number of judges and tribunals have said in plain english you do not. There's no room for 'opinion' - the lawful authorities have ruled on that question. If you want to have a discussion about whether we SHOULD have the legal right to misgender people then we can discuss that but it is COMPLETELY a different subject. Again with the lies. I have been 100 percent clear on my stance - we do not have the legal right according to the judges- here's the judges. So when you claim' i've been unclear or don't have a position that is a lie. That's a verifiable fact. You have stated your opinion - your opinion is that we DO have that right. But you have refused repeatedly to provide any evidence of that, or show which constitutional or legal instrument grants us that right. For a person who CLAIMS that it's important to provide a source when you make a positive claim you sure avoid doing so. So it's not that you don't have an opinion Mike - its that i've demonstrated that your statement was wrong and now you're trying to turn it into some sort of 'opinon' based discussion to avoid having to cope with that simple fact instead of being a man about it and saying "oh - well i guess we don't have that right'.

Ahhh more dishonestly from you mike. "I honestly can't remember our conversation to this point or that i claimed it was only a workplace or services issue". Right. It is 100 percent misgendering. That's the entire point. That's why he lost. She says she's a woman, he says he's a man. So if you decide you're a woman and i go put up flyers around saying 'Mike is a biological male not a woman as he claims his gender is and is pretending to be a woman for political reasons" i have in fact misgendered you and can be tried at the human rights tribunal and fined insane amounts of money which if i don't pay btw i will be found to be in contempt of court and jailed. Mike: "SHOW ME A CASE!!!" here's a case. Mike: "ER - SHOW ME ANOTHER CASE" here's another case. Mike "STILL NOT GOOD ENOUGH TILL I REVIEW THE CASE AND SEE IF I AGREE WITH THE TRIBUNAL". Sigh.

And the fact that the current Canadian government does this undermines its credibility and Canadian sovereignty at the same time, as why should I trust a government that appears to work against the interests of its citizens?

America is the major defender of freedom in the world. Are you suspicious of America.? I think if you look into it, you will find the Americans are far more transparent about what is going on than the Liberal/NDP government. We hear all the time about how the Canadians government keeps things secret under the pretext of national security even though it is baloney.

Social justice and progress are good things. The problem is that some of the work taking place under the auspices of social justice and progress are actually top-down oppressive, economically damaging, and the opposite of justice. That’s why we have to be very careful to look at the details of policies and potential unintended consequences.

Clinton's use of a private email system and a private server violated federal law, specifically 18 U.S. Code § 1924, regarding the unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents or materials, as well as State Department protocols and procedures, and regulations governing recordkeeping. I you are secretary of state an SIPRnet server is required.

No, you thick twit. Nobody accused Chauvin of "inventing" a restraint. They accused him of misusing it in a way that contradicts the instructions in the manual you love posting, and contradicts department policy, and contradicts the in-person training he had received. Those exact points are literally discussed at trial testimony linked and in Chauvin's own admission of guilt. I can't teach you to read or force you to read, but it's there. And yes, Chauvin was racist and yes he had used excessive force against Black people in the past. His indifference to the life and health of those he assaulted is a complete dehumanization. There was nothing false about the narrative. It was exactly what it appeared to be on video: a cop slowly killing a man and watching indifferently as he stopped struggling, stopped responding, stopped breathing and stopped living.

It doesn't matter to me that you don't care. Fu ck that. It's long past time we gave Ukraine fighter jets, long range bombers and cruise missiles.

I think there are some issues of scale here. We barely even have an air force, so running a tiny training program with antiquated aircraft for a barely airworthy fleet of ancient CF-18s was probably a waste of money...especially when we're transitioning to the F-35...sometime...eventually...probably.

1. Disagree. 2. Hyperbolic nonsense and name calling in the absence of substance. 3. You haven't refuted my points. They get government money just as the CBC does. They are owned by a US fund. Do you have anything to say about that or are you just going to crow like a rooster? 4. Yes because I trust institutions in the absence of evidence against them. I post facts, and try to be accurate with my language. Can't stand it when people start coughing "woke woke" when they don't have substantive criticism. Have a great day. 🙂

Oh, you mean those workers who probably half assed their jobs? Trump is known for deducting from contracts if the quality of work is shit. I can't speak to Biden's gross incompetence so I think I'll go off topic and attack Trump instead. -- Caswell Thomas

I understand wanting to find reputable sources, but the traditional trusted news sources are not as neutral as they used to be. News sections that purport to be objective often read like opinion pieces. The only credible major newspaper left in Canada is the National Post, mostly because its owners aren’t as dependent on or concerned about government funding. I used to think it was a conservative paper, but all popular political options in Canada are middle left to radical left now. Epoch Times is also quite good. My former favourite for more local Toronto and Ontario news, the Toronto Star, sounds too much now like the Marxist-Leninist rags handed out free when I was in university. For fair North American content I read Free Press on Substack, which is left leaning but very much open to a plurality of opinions. Rising on YouTube is also good but America-focused. For the Catholic perspective I read Lifesite News, though it’s very critical of the Francis Pontificate, and I can see why. Beyond that I mostly pull information from my daily Apple News feeds, which come from a variety of sources. YouTube is more fringe but quite censored. Rumble is even more fringe, but on those platforms you’ll find insightful interviews with people like Matt Taibi or Michael Shellenberger, who are serious journalists with important critiques.

There are devastating consequences socially for doing the first one. The right is there, but you're ignoring those fighting hard to remove it. Public humiliation, doxxing and other consequences are too high a price to pay, for accidentally misgendering someone so people avoid it, out of fear of reprisals. 100% actual crimes, like harassment should be punished, but let's not try changing the criminal code to protect people's feelings. If a man in a dress (meaning no surgery, no hormones, simply identifies as female) wants to shower in the same shower at a gym where my wife's daughter works out at, I would not be okay with this. To such people, this is discriminatory. To me, you have a clearly grown male, showering in the same spaces as underage girls. Anyone okay with this, I would question how much does safety truly matter to them, as you're making the trans woman a target and potentially endangering girls in the same breath. Its bad policy, while meaning well. You have the right to exist. Violence against you, is a hate crime. You shouldn't be discriminated against, in finding work. There are basic human rights that should apply to everyone. What you've misconstrued, is that people are against such rights, vs being against the ideology behind these movements. This very thing being pushed to kids. We can all coexist together. I deal with the public, and can assure you that pronouns aren't even top 50 in most people's minds. In my regular life, I couldn't care less about pronouns. Being divisive actually makes these people targets. I used to be part of an LGBT group. They used to be open doors to all. Now they are about you abiding to the ideologies, or get out. I must call myself cis to be inclusive, and fully accept the entire package to be deemed an ally. Thats like me demanding you tell me you love chicken and watermelon, to prove to me you're not racist. Demanding you put a t-shirt pin with "Am with blacks" to prove you don't support slavery. Sounds ridiculous, because it is. The world doesn't owe you a thing. If I can understand this as a black male, I fail to understand how others don't.

IMO, that concept should be front and centre in the minds of everyone but unfortunately it takes time to gain the required experience. As it stands now though, I fear the see-saw effect resulting from future changes in government will serve to prolong the current agony as every new government campaigns on undoing the actions of their predecessors.. Only now (IMO) are liberal voters starting to see the predictable effects of getting what they voted for and they need more experience to drive these lessons home. Seems to me that narrative (as opposed to opinion) can only be refined by painful experience and I can't think of a better example than the madness behind defunding the police.

Do ya think we could convince Brandon to let Mel Blanc out?

No they're of the opinion PP will have to change the law so he can produce news programming for Quebec but not the ROC. The current law allows him to cut funding to the CBC but it will have to be changed so he can do what you said - run a little news service that's exclusive to Quebec. Sort of the way you say Trudeau can change a law and do whatever he feels like. Seems like common sense. I'm sure his base will get it.

How? Put the PMO in charge of the CBC's programming apparently. LMAO! It is the corporation's board of directors that determines how the funding it receives is spent. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/poilievre-defund-cbc-change-law-1.6810434 "I'm not sure politicians really want to go down the [road of] ... 'We are going to give francophones better service with public money than we're going to give anglophones,"' he said. Menzies added that while he believes changes should be made to the CBC, "it's a lot more complicated than people think." "Preferring one piece of it over another piece, particularly linguistically, I think that opens a door you probably don't really want to open."

This is what Canadians want....until they stand up and make this an issue nothing will stop and our military will decline into nothingness...

That's not going to stop the dem's accusations. Everyone knows Stewart Rhodes had a ouija board - they were co-conspirators.

But he'd get in trouble! "IIIIIIII have no strings, as you can see.. (tumbles down the stairs)." Yeah - i think i saw that movie before. Oh brandon - we forget sometimes that you're not a real little boy....

Keep it up long enough and they'll get there. Jack up every economic sanction available and start applying them against Russia's allies too and get there even faster. Give up now and we might as well join them. You know what they say about the Dark Side of the Force, it's not more powerful it's easier.

Thanks for demonstrating exactly what I said is true. When you LOSE, you always resort to juvenile name calling. And this time you threw in a bunch of strawman arguments, which only illustrates your BANKRUPTCY. ㊙️ you don't get to tell me what I "like," and that's juvenile cause I already KNOW what I like. Duh ^That's a really LAME response, but gratuitous "TDS" is the best you got and is TROLLING.

The problem is that a lot of people want this. They think it's great to be able to silence people who have "bad" thoughts. Polling indicates that there's strong levels of support. So what the next gov't REALLY needs to do is abuse the law horribly. Anyone who disparages or discriminates against someone because they're conservative pays a 20,000 dollar fine or does jail time for each person they offend. Saying parents don't have rights is a hate crime and is genocide. Anyone calling someone a chud shall be hunted and shot on sight When people on teh left realize that anything they use against others will eventually be used against them - then they'll realize how important it is to respect EVERYONE"S rights.

Increasingly it seems that our society would be leaps and bounds ahead if our Feds stopped governing and drafting new legislation several years ago. All of these bills are so obviously bad that it would be better to have stopped passing bills altogether than to attempt even to modify these bills. Our next government needs to drop the activism and get the basics right.

Proclaiming his innocence loudly as he stands up to his eyeballs in his own shit. Just like most jailhouse inmates.

This isn't about trans rights. Nonsensical ways would be more accurate. Neopronouns are seen as a joke even as some within the community. Yet, laughing at these, could still be viewed as transphobic. Its a joke. Who cares about how I feel about it. The extreme right is getting a voice, because of how many others are feeling about it, and of similarly divisive issues. My voice is irrelevant. When it comes down to elections, theirs will be deafening. What does that even mean? You're either genuine or you're not. The irony. My post is measured. Imposing into law, that can't eventually misgender someone who identifies as Ne/nem/nems/nemself, is the epitome of taking rights and then completely making a mockery of things. Letting a male, compete with biological women at the highest level, literally obliterating records no other women could even touch. This isn't respecting human rights and dignity. As a black male, I understand some people will not like me based on skin color. I will hear racist comments that I don't like. I am educated and articulate, having some mock me as "being white". Your logic, is me being entitled to call the police for the racist comments. Reality, is the world over doesn't give two f***s about how I feel inside. There are not enough laws, where you can force others to. Do you, don't expect others to play along.

At the end of their term they pardon a FEW. When has there ever been a mass blanket pardon? When did a previous President demand immunity for himself? When did a previous ever claim election fraud and insist he actually won for years and years? The very idea you support such a scumbag candidate proves your BS talk about freedom and democracy when you actually want a Dictator who makes singlehanded decisions, snaps his fingers and they are law.

The takeaway here, is that democrats are scumbag liars.

That’s impressive. He sounds like a Stoic. If he can remain his own person, speak his mind, and advocate for prosperity and constitutional rights, he may have a long bright future as PM. The rot sets in when politicians become beholden to special interests and create sinecures for cronies. Trudeau has inflated the size of government by 40% and increased our debt by as much in 8 years. His government is obsessed with creating and imposing expensive government programs on the population when they can’t get the basics of federal government responsibilities right: issuing passports, running the Indigenous file, procuring for the military, etc. Poilievre will have to slash spending, eliminate carbon taxes, and ban DEI/woke shit. If he does these three things alone, he will be successful.

Again, your boy Putin started this war and if you have your way, even more people would die when he steamrolls over Ukraine, including god knows how many civilians. More blood for your blood god.

You worship a totalitarian lunatic warmonger who started this conflict, go f*ck yourself. More chaff for the thresher.

Oh, wow. Math is seen as racist to some, as Black people tend to struggle horribly. I think kids need to learn that the world isn't a safe space. Failure isn't the end all. Failure should be seen as an opportunity to grow. Experience. I find it will develop kids that are so soft, that they truly would be destroyed by minor setbacks. I mean, I went to school where there were the general students, advanced, and the fundamental learning classes. The latter were mocked for being low IQ.

Stores are free to ask to see your receipts, but you don't have to show anyone anything when you're leaving their property with your own property that you've just purchased. They aren't the police, and even the police couldn't force you to show you any ID or your receipt because in order to detain and ID you they need reasonable suspicious that you've committed a crime, which they wouldn't have if you haven't done anything wrong. If stores want to catch thieves then they should have cameras in their stores and cameras at their self-checkouts and do actual security work instead of treating all of their customers like crime suspects. So at Wal-mart they used to check receipts, for which you could legally refuse. At Costco it's more complicated because you sign an agreement and have a membership based on that. There's lots of videos on Youtube of people refusing receipt checks at Walmart and the employees freaking out, and some harassing the customers by following them to their car and starting confrontations.
