  1. So when you said "total fossil emissions are so minute it is extremely unlikely in my opinion that this has an affect on climate change" you weren't making a scientific claim? You were what, just throwing crap at the wall?

  3. The Guardian: Trump told Pence certifying the election would be "political career killer" “Mike, this is a political career killer if you do this,” Trump told Pence by phone on the morning of January 6, the New York Times reported, citing a transcript of testimony to the House committee that investigated the deadly attack on Congress that unfolded later that day. That's it: whether one's perpetually mad at the "lefties" or brainlessly cheered for a new Idol this is the end of the line. Instructing and threatening a subordinate to break the law and undermine the democratic will of the people has to be a crime in any interpretation and jurisdiction that is compatible with the principles of democracy. One's choice is simple here, really: to prosecute the lying crook aspiring to become authoritarian dictator to the full extent of the law; or assume and accept this kind of behavior as new normality: and descend into the banana world. There's nothing left in between. Just make your choice.

  4. Well, it is official now. The NDP Marxist party voted down the motion of non-confidence against the dictator in Ottawa carbon tax. The NDP party has just shown their true Marxist colors. They once again have shown as to how much they truly despise we the overburdened, over regulated suffering Canadian people. Marxist political party's are all the same. Control the people. Will those Canadians who continue to vote for the leftist liberals and NDP Marxist political party's finally see the light? Only the Conservative party is the only political party left in Canada to be able to try and help and save Canada from those two pro big government, pro more taxes, and pro less freedom Marxists globalist WEF elite scumbags that have pretty much destroyed this once great country called Canada. It's your call. 😇

  5. You don't understand the basic principles of debate. You made a specific claim ("total fossil emissions are so minute it is extremely unlikely in my opinion that this has an affect on climate change.") so it's up to you to prove it. The larger question of whether a) the climate is changing and b) that change is the result of man made emissions is irrelevant here.

  8. Things change. In 1917 there was no Hamas and Palestine was just an obscure backwater of the Ottoman Empire with a Jewish minority. Then the invading British had the bright idea to send the Eastern European Jews they and the rest of Europe didn’t want to another continent. These days, I hear a lot about the problems immigration can bring. Well that’s what happened. The Arabs revolted and the British put the revolts down brutally which greatly strengthened the position of Zionists in the territory. It takes a while to accept one has lost one’s land. Remember Churchill’s speech about fighting the Germans on the beaches and landing grounds and so on until ‘we shall never surrender’? Turns out most people on the planet think that way. There were always people looking for a solution on both sides but they had opponents on their side too. Barak and Olmert had to deal with Likud and we know what happened to Rabin. On the other side, things were naturally even more chaotic partly because Palestine isn’t a state and also because exiles can become marinated in the most extreme positions and were poisoned by Islamicist ideology. Abbas was once reasonable. The offer from Olmert was a good place to start but neither side had enough time to press it home before Bibi was facing off against Obama and the moment was lost. If you look at any tribal conflict that has been peacefully resolved you will usually see a long catalogue of failure before the deal. Peace in Ireland took 800 years. Obviously, the clock has been put way back now with the atrocities committed by Hamas but it is still ticking. Humans can change. Peace is possible. BTW I also believe that one day a mini-Iran will be something for any developing country to aspire to. I remember when it was a great place to visit - my school used to organize trips there. That can happen again.

  9. The rhetorical question in the title of this thread represents a classic example of projection. Republicans know the claim that their party has become a cult around one odious man, Trump, and many have left because they feel it has. So what to do: claim the other party is doing what you are doing.

  10. The Jews have always been a kind of canary in the coal mine as far as freedom is concerned. If they're not free to live and go about their business and act in a lawful manner then the rest of us need to start looking over our shoulders. And they're not. Canada has freely imported millions of people from places where the general cultural and religious sentiment is hatred of Jews without doing the slightest to screen them. And we're just starting now to see them flex their muscles, and with a government which is notorious for always catering to votes not principles. There are now six times more Muslims than Jews in Canada, and that number is rapidly growing. And so their flexing is being allowed, accepted, and tolerated by generally liberal governments (including locally) who have long suffered from the bigotry of low expectations. Meanwhile, immigration continues, grows, with no screening to weed out extremists of any variety. Millions are coming, and already the government is catering to them, and trying to bring in laws to restrict freedom. It does not care about churches being burned or synagogues shot at but by God if you dare to criticize Islam online they will do their best to punish you. Antisemitic acts have been occurring in Canada in ever-increasing volume since the Oct. 7 massacre of 1,200 Israelis by Hamas terrorists, and the kidnapping of 250 more. In the weeks that followed Israel’s military response to those crimes, a Jewish school in Montreal was twice fired upon, leaving two bullet holes. A Jewish delicatessen in Toronto was fire-bombed. An Indigo bookstore in Toronto was vandalized, because the chain’s founder is Jewish. Protesters in Toronto, Montreal and elsewhere opposed to the Israeli government’s actions in Gaza have targetted Jewish neighbourhoods, synagogues and businesses. Homes have been vandalized with antisemitic images and words. https://archive.is/CNrIh

  12. Nearly San Francisco bad. You know Vancouver is bad, when they will soon be used as the measuring stick to describe a s*** hole. "Shootings in Chicago have reached Vancouver levels". "Mexican drug cartels, have extorted Vancouver levels of innocent civilians". Heard it snowed record levels today. How bad are the roads? "Its Va.." okay I'll stop. I remember struggling to drive initially, as have been in 5 crashes as a passenger, and have witnessed countless deadly crashes. Worst of which in Europe, when a dude wrapped his sportscar around a post. It hasn't stopped me, but sure as heck made learning incredibly difficult due to the anxiety which had me almost quit. Glad I didn't. Let me rephrase. Am apprehensive on guns. Quite sure if my home was attacked, I wouldn't hesitate to Swiss cheese anyone else trying the same stunt. I think like you said, practice makes perfect. A friend took me to a range pre-covid, so the phobia is gone. Its just not being comfortable with accidentally hurting people with one. But knowing how to expertly load and unload one, knowing when a bullet is in the chamber would probably do the trick. For driving, defensive driving did the trick for me, and swerving from near death crashes let me know I truly had control of my car and knew what I was doing. I made sure I was sharp, to avoid worrying about those who aren't.

The Byrne scandal is just a forshadowing of what is going to plague Pierre when he takes office. Pierre is going to have his own SNC Lab. experience before he even takes office.

  15. Mar-a-Lago has been deed restricted to operating as a private club, not as a private home, with a maximum of 500 members. Memberships cannot cost more than $200,000 initiation fee and annual dues $20,000. This limits annual income to $10 million per year. Additionally, the land has been granted a conservation easement to the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which prohibits any subdivision, ever. What is the valuation of a business which is capped at only $10 million in annual gross revenue?

  16. When has the govt of Canada not condemned the Oct 7 attack? When has it ever not demanded the immediate release of hostages? When has it ever not condemned anti-semitism ? Give up the constant lame accusation that any criticism of Israeli govt actions is antisemetic. You elevating Netanyahu onto your Holier-than-God pedestal beside Trump?

  23. Whenever government or anyone wants to do something that has negative consequences on other people or society in general, the onus of proof is on those who want to do something. That means the onus of proof is on the government to prove what they claim before imposing taxes, regulations, or anything else on society. Since man-made climate change has not been proven, it is wrong of the government to be doing what they are doing.

  24. Is it? Here's your "scientific consensus" Mike. https://www.discoursemagazine.com/p/the-fake-scientific-consensus-on-climate-change and here... https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.climatecommission.govt.nz/public/Submissions-2021/mail-submissions-2.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwih6JfooYiFAxUTE1kFHdyEAAk4HhAWegQIBRAB&usg=AOvVaw0OLy9o1XfVLvdBAh6OheIC Shall I go on? I can if you like? The sad fact is, there is no climate crisis. Its a scam. A means of gathering power and money. Scare the crap out of the population... "AHHH!!! WE ALL GONNA DIIIEEE!!!" Cancel any scientist who even dare contradict the orthodoxy. Proceed to punish the population financially. "YOU WILL OWN NOTHING AND LIKE IT!" And further centralize power and control. Its an old scam Mike and it has been used over and over again throughout history. Fear works. Its a nasty tactic but it does work. Just as any of these vaunted scientists...who have been cancelled for revealing their contradictory findings...will freely tell you. Bottom line...Scientists do not state there is a "crisis". They say "its possible" or "it appears"...but conclusive proof of this "crisis" simply does not exist. On the other hand...proof of the economic damage being done in the name of this chickenshit... Does Exist.

  28. Well, unlike selling classified info which everyone knows is illegal and very damaging to national security, a lot of people don't know that using official power for campaign advantage is illegal. It used to be that Congressmen would not even use their office phones to make campaign related phone calls and had to find another facility, but Trump has so thoroughly trashed ethical boundaries, none of them seem to matter anymore.

  35. It is hypothetical and I never said otherwise. However Trump is now desperate for cash, so if he held onto any of those documents, he will likely be MORE tempted to sell them NOW. The reason I asked is to find out just how brainwashed the MAGA CULT is here. Turns out they are too embarrassed to answer a simple question.

  38. It is a FACT that Trump defaulted on loans to Deusche Bank. It is also FACT that Trump wields enormous political power, and Deusche, for many reasons, may not want to take the stand and say, “Yup, we’re a bunch of dummies who were fooled by Donald Trump.” But what matters here is that it is ILLEGAL to fraudulently state your worth on loan applications. Can you GET THAT THROUGH YOUR SKULL? It is ILLEGAL to lie on those forms. That’s the law, Trump broke it. And not over any sort of reasonably arguable amount. All the Trump employees were asked about how they apply generally accepted accounted principles (none of them knew) and what their processes were for assessing the values of these properties (Donald told us and we wrote that down.) If they said that they evaluate the properties by comparing to other comparable properties which recently sold and adjusting in a reasonable fashion, they’d have been fine. But they had no defense for their egregious lies and now their CFO is going to jail AGAIN, this time on Felony perjury for lying on the witness stand in this case. Why can’t you understand that it has been proven over and over again that this guy is a fraud and a criminal? Wake up! You are brain washed. EVERYTHING about this case is laid out in public record. You can read all of the facts for yourself. The Trump Organization lied repeatedly, over a period exceeding a decade, not by 20% but by hundreds of percents, in stating the value of Trump’s assets. It is not legal to do this, for good reason. Finally: The man who said he’s worth ten billion dollars and has “$400 million cash on hand” cannot get w BOND for $485 million. It’s because he cannot put up $485 million in assets to the bonding agencies to guarantee repayment.

  39. You are really just talking out of your ass again. It has nothing to do with "leftists." Turn off Fox. 1. No one has to "pay" to file an appeal. They just have to provide surety--proof that they can and will pay in the case the appeal is lost. 2. Surety bonds in civil cases go back, literally, thousands of years. 2. I'm no legal historian, but it's been in US federal law since at least 1967--but probably longer. 3. The purpose of the surety bond is to protect ALL parties The court won't be subjected to frivolous and costly appeals that are being used solely as a delay tactic The plaintiff has to wait to collect what's owed, but can be confident that they will be paid in full if the judgment stands -- the defendant won't be hiding or destroying assets owed to plaintiff during the appeal period. The defendant can file the appeal without fear of the plaintiff (who has already won a judgement) seizing the defendant's assets. It protects all parties. And it makes perfect sense as a feature of the process. But because it's inconvenient to Orange Jesus you think this long-established and entirely reasonable legal practice is a "leftist" plot. GTFO.

Notice in my post that I said that Tesla and Apple have bigger ties there. Actually, much bigger. This is not a partisan issue nor is it confined to politicians. Any large investment in China, by a company or an individual, is a potential vulnerability for Western governments.

  46. When I was in the shoe department in Walmart, I saw a pair of old worn shoes left on the floor. Obviously someone put on a pair of new shoes and walked out. There are lots of crooks around. Can't blame stores for checking. They probably lose a lot of money by shop lifters. I am not sure what the best way to do it is. We live in a world of many crooks. So businesses have to protect themselves somehow. Best to just go along with it and be agreeable.

  50. When you see how these laws have been applied in some European countries, I fear it might be abused. If you don't recall the Switzerland example, here is the thread I made back in October 2023, when a polemicist had a 60-day prison sentence for calling an activist a 'fat lesbian'. The same mentality that was at play to imprison someone calling a 'fat lesbian' is at play here in Canada. Our government literally said that you could have a sentence up to life in prison for hate speech online if the bill goes through. Sadly, the LPC and the Conservatives are two sides of the same coin. Both want more regulation on the Internet, more surveillance and make it harder to criticize the government online with anonymity. But the fact that it was proposed to have a sentence up to life in prison for 'hate speech' is incredible. Even child rapists don't do that time after being prosecuted.
