  1. 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

  3. Basically. He knew he wasn't going to trigger anything here. The optics are great for him. Trudeau being hand held by the NDP. Forced to pick a side. So, once the cost of living spikes because of the unintended consequences in hiking how farmers produce and transport your food hits Canada at the pocket book, he will have that video of Trudeau and the NDP talking about climate change like its dire with fear mongering included, omitting that unless you get all of the worst polluters in the world on board, you're essentially agreeing to pay higher taxes to redistribute your money into the hands of poorer ones, which is the only thing this tax is doing successfully.

  5. 1. Man-made CO2 is 0.1% to 0.2% of the total atmospheric greenhouse gases. 2. The fossil CO2 emissions of several countries in percentages of all fossil emissions for all countries for 2022 is: Canada 1.511% Australia 1.021% Brazil 1.212% China 32.884% Japan 2.810 % U.S. 12.600% India 6.991% Russia 4.956% --- List of countries by carbon dioxide emissions - Wikipedia The total fossil emissions are so minute it is extremely unlikely in my opinion that this has an affect on climate change. It appears that 99.8 or 99.9% of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are natural. This is according to information on wikipedia. China's emissions are 32.884% of total man-made CO2 emissions. So no matter what Canada does it will make no difference to the total fossil emissions in the world because Canada's emissions are only 1.511% of the world's fossil emissions. That should be obvious to any reasonable person who looks at these figures.

  6. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/biden-relies-on-reporter-list-notes-during-white-house-joint-press-conference-with-japanese-pm/ar-BB1ls1Ot Yesterday when Joe Biden was at the WH with the PM of Japan, he "took some questions from reporters" lol. Unlike the ice cream cone questions, where he can study the pre-scripted for hours and then rattle off the answer off the top of his head in one or two takes, there were too many Q's to remember the answers to so they just said "F-U, America, we're gonna fake this right in front of your stupid faces." Joe literally had to shuffle through his notes to see which reporter he was supposed to take his question from, then after the pre-scripted Q was asked, he read the answer right off of his notes. There was no attempt whatsoever from the WH to pretend that Joe Biden was answering that pre-scritped question on his own. Leftards here can't weasel out of the fact that the whole Q and A session was a joke and America was the punchline. And Biden didn't just get the questions in advance, like Hillary during a debate, he had the answers to the fake questions right in his hand... 😂 Can leftards try to make the case that Joke Acosta was asking pre-scripted questions? Biden is done now. He's not gonna cross the finish line. There's nothing left. They can indict him for whatever they want now to gain some fake credibility, because he's not gonna be president long no matter what.

  9. Sky Termination Debris (STD). The collateral damage caused when large pieces of sky crash to earth. Exactly. At this point you should already be in your basement, if not though, under no circumstances should you leave the house. A final word of caution about breaking communication protocols. For your own safety, I urge you to maintain strict electronic silence until after the event. That means no phone calls and absolutely no further posts on social media. Only complete electronic silence will prevent the people who failed to prepare for STDs from getting anything that rightly belongs to you.

  10. If you buy his Bible, at least you get a book. If you buy his stock, you’ll get nothing. Analysts forecast a stock price of $2 per share. There’s no roadmap to profitability for Truth Social. It’s a social network based on the tweets of a single celebrity. The company has been bleeding cash, losing $58 million last year. and, much worse, had only $4 million in revenue. Oh, and $40 million of that lost money was spent paying interest on loans. That should frighten anyone with any sense… how much debt do they have to pay $40 million a year in interest? If that’s not enough to alarm you, consider this: In 2022, they reported profit of $50 million, on revenue of $1.5 million. Read that again: Profit of $50 million on revenue of $1.5 million. If that’s not enough to convince you that you’re being conned, nothing is. Trump’s holding about 70% of the stock. As soon as he sells his shares, the dilution is better than 2:1. So just buy his Bible. You’ll have something to show for your money.

  11. Guess who won? It was totally "unanticipated." Who'd a thunk... I'm betting that these "unanticipated" victories will continue until women walk off the field and refuse to compete. Since organizers and governing bodies are AWOL, women will have to assume the burden themselves. Shut em down and make em care, keep doing it until they do. Be polite, remain dignified, quietly walk off the field and simply refuse to compete with men. Don't be embarrassed either, the people pushing this agenda and ruining your sport certainly aren't.

  12. Below is the correct definition of the world's leading cult, and the United States' ONLY cult. "Democrat Party is the grammatically correct term for the Democratic Party. The Party is not "democratic," and proper nouns like "Democrat" are not converted into adjectives by adding "ic" as a suffix. For example, it is not the "Republicanic Party," or the "Libertarianic Party," or a "Smith-ic Wedding." yet many Democrats bristle at the term "Democrat Party." and perhaps they prefer the false illusion that their party is somehow more "democratic" than other parties. In fact, the Democrat Party is less democratic than the other political parties. In the 1800s, the Democrat Party was predominantly pro-slavery. Today, the Democrat Party is predominantly pro-abortion and left-wing on social and economic issues." https://www.conservapedia.com/Democrat_Party

  18. It’s always about money and freedom of opportunity. Canada is losing its once very strong brand because our Liberal-NDP federal government can’t help but overreach into every area of people’s lives and every political jurisdiction. The question Canadians are rightly asking is, What’s the upside? Our military and federal bureaucracies such as Passports and Immigration are dysfunctional. Taxes are rising, wages are stagnant, cost of living is rising, and freedom of speech is weakening. The promises of the budget balancing itself and $10 a day daycare for all are falling flat as government and debt balloon out of all proportion, even as the feds continue to borrow money to make more announcements for programs we can’t afford. No one is fooled. In this climate, of course provinces will talk independence. The Canadian model isn’t looking great right now. The 5 year federal term limit is simply too long in Canada. Everyone knows that the NDP will prop up this government no matter how bad it is in order to hold onto seats. Everyone knows the debt hole is growing fast and Canada is a slow moving inefficient machine right now. Other than safety from gun violence and better public K-12 education (perhaps no longer given the mandated woke anti-Canada and pro-LGBTQ indoctrination), why would anyone choose Canada over the US? We’ve lost so much in eight years.

  19. And I would say this is the case at the provincial and municipal and school board levels, too. We are drowning in bureaucracy and are so over-regulated it takes forever to get anything done at any level and usually winds up costing twice as much as it should. Why do the heads of hospitals, colleges and universities earn such high salaries? These are not specialized jobs that require massive education and experience. The head of one of Ottawa's hospitals was a former municipal councilor. The head of the University of Ottawa was the minister of Justice before being appointed to the job. If politicians can do it then why are the salaries approaching half a million a year, or in some cases passing that mark? Because when the boss makes $500k, the deputies have to be making close to $400k right? And then everyone around them gets slightly less munificent salaries. How many non-teachers at universities are pulling in considerably more than $100k? The administrative ranks have exploded at post-secondary institutions. And I see far too many at school boards, too. We need a guy with something like a hard-assed Mike Harris mentality that will go in and start laying people off and freezing promotions and hiring. Not to mention eliminating all those high-priced consultants.

  21. The biggest problem with "woke" is that by its very nature it HAS to affect other people's lives against their will. Otherwise it's just not woke. For example - vegetarianism is often associated as left wing. But the vast majority of vegetarians are happy to just go about their lives eating vegetables. And the meat eaters eat their meat and both are happy. But you get something like transgenderism which goes full woke - and it's not enough that they get to choose what they're going to do with their lives. You MUST acknowledge their pronouns, you MUST celebrate pride, you MUST do all these things or you can be charged with fired if you're lucky or subject to criminal hate crime charges if you're not. I literally worry about speaking to co-workers, because if you say the wrong thing it could have very serious consequences. Clients can accuse you of being racist or sexist or whatever for the flimsiest of reasons and you better be able to defend yourself because it's a job killer if you can't. It's gone way too far.

  22. No need to be extreme. No one is trying to sell that to anyone. Finland has one of the most powerful militaries in Europe with a population the size of BC. Surely we can find something between what we have now and your hysterical trillion dollars. Conscription is regarded as a good thing in many countries. In 2013, Switzerland had a referendum on abolishing conscription. 73% voted to keep it.

  24. Why is this a surprise? I was in the Military (Air Force) for 35 years and during that time we hovered around 60K (regular force) members. We had several force reduction programs to get the numbers down during my tenure. The Military was never a priority for either Liberal or Conservative governments. As for the reserves, they are quite often regular force members (in the Airforce anyway) or members that have quit for personal reasons but still want to be active. Anyway, we are where we are because we chose to be there.

  26. Hopefully Canada leaves the Paris Agreement and drops these targets and economy-killing carbon taxes. I’m not hopeful for Canada. Our leftists are dumber than the US Democrats who wouldn’t dare to impose carbon taxes on Americans. And before the posters pile on about Canada’s supposed responsibilities, remember that our emissions are rising along with our mass immigration under this profligate government, as China adds new coal plants with regularity. Do you really want to get rid of every last bit of industry and resource development in Canada? Do you really want to destroy our living standards?

  27. Anyone who is a critical thinker and reasonably intelligent knows that much happened in the pandemic response that should not have. Early on governments had the excuse of trying to be prudent and protecting populations through measures like social distancing and perhaps even masking. Once the vaccines became available, the excuse for lockdowns disappeared, but really lockdowns should’ve been questioned and the freedom of movement preserved throughout the pandemic. Mandating vaccination with a new untested vaccine was wrong. Requiring vaccine passports for travel, work, and even use of private services was a massive violation of constitutional rights that was unnecessary. Pushing vaccines for young people and subjecting them to mandatory schooling from home was bad. Accommodation’s could’ve been made for immune compromised teachers, children, and workers who needed to keep a safe distance from people. The efficacy of the vaccines was proven to be low later on and they became unnecessary for most people by the time omicron rolled around. There’s no justification for mandatory vaccination at that stage, but really they never should’ve been mandatory. It’s highly likely that C-19 originated in a lab doing gain of function research. Foolishly and irresponsibly, our governments were allowing such research to take place with foreign adversaries. It’s obvious that governments are leaning on the excuse of national security to redact or hide what happened from citizens, though the threat to national security was the research and existence of the labs and partnerships with foreign researchers. I think that the reality is probably worse than what I said above. Nevertheless, populations were berated with fear mongering propaganda constantly. Many people including many posters on here are in denial of what happened and they will likely remain so. It’s simply too painful to admit and people want to believe what they are told. I say all of this as someone who is triple vaccinated and believed most of what I heard from media, even when much of it was scripted and the science on treatments was somewhat inconclusive. So much suppression of speech took place. The unfair maligning of invermectin is just one example of a false narrative being elevated by agencies to the level of official truth. We should all be very concerned about ceding more authority to the WHO. We should also put tremendous pressure on governments to explain what happened at our biolabs, to make sure that liberties can’t be removed again, and to ensure that unaccountable organizations and international bodies aren’t imposing policies on Canadians.

If anything, this will be the standard that the conservatives need to beat in the next election, political wise it was a asume move, on the liberal side make large announcements that got global praise, liberal voters will then say see, we do like defense when it counts, they also get to kick the can over to the conservatives and make them live up to these standards they have drawn in the sand. That being said this is not going to be an election issue, there is just to many issues for this to make it to the top...i hope the conservatives pick the ball up later and run with it...

  32. 1) This just takes the legal impetus out of a vax-death scenario. The gov't can swoop in and quickly cover the cost of a funeral, leaving less room for people to file a lawsuit against the gov't. Imagine a case where someone has to take the jab to keep their job, and they have to keep their job or they'll lose their mortgage. They don't want to take the jab, but they have no other choice, and they "die suddenly" [it kills them]. In that scenario the bereaved family members could try to sue the gov't, and they have very finite costs of a funeral on the books to sue for which makes their lawsuit necessary for the courts to deal with, but those costs are just quickly scratched off the ledger by the gov't. Now it's only a hardship case which is a huge grey area, along with the grey area stemming from the fact that medical authorities don't put "vaccination" down as a cause of death. People who "die of covid" are checked off on the spot: "Coughed ten days ago? Check. We're done here." People who die after vaxing are left as question marks. "Died suddenly" is a new official cause of death: SDS is not a formal diagnosis: no set criteria universally define sudden death. However, a 2023 article suggests that many experts have adopted the World Health Organization’s (WHO) definition. It states that SDS is sudden, unexpected death from natural causes witnessed within one hour of symptom onset. 2) This has "political expediency" written all over it. It's like the Duffygate $90K on steroids. "Do you want the cheque to cover your funeral costs or not, lady? Sign here, and don't get any of your stupid tears on the paper. This is 98 brilliance, 28 lb paper. It's over $25 a ream." The jab-apologists are out in force today. What's up?

  33. All of this is concerning, but half the posters on here spend their time defending or denying that any of this is happening or worth worrying about. Some simply have a visceral hatred or jealousy of Peterson, so they disagree with anything he says because he says it. Most people are simply too busy, too scared of repercussions, too confused, too brainwashed, or too complaisant to do anything about the creeping controls over speech and behaviour. The pandemic, planned or unplanned (and we’ll probably never know the truth), provided authorities with an opportunity to test the limits of surveillance, removal of rights, and enforcement through fines, job loss, freezing of bank accounts, and general deplatforming. Imagine adding more technology for control and surveillance in similar or even bigger crises. Unfortunately we’ve seen that policy can be set and handed down from non-state unelected bodies radically and efficiently. Some politicians are complete dupes or even embrace this governance. It explains why now there are only two goals: inclusivity and fighting climate change. These ideas and the policies supporting them are overriding all other considerations, much as “keeping us safe” during the pandemic obliterated basic constitutional rights. What’s strange is that even though most people you talk to have other priorities, the right think of these imposed values is always the narrative in the background of our lives: in government, media, training at work, even at most churches. We know that something is amiss, but we can’t quite remember or understand what.

  36. Yes, the CBC is another one of those "no more compromise" issues for me and they worked tirelessly to achieve it. Completely unnecessary, easily avoided, and totally self inflicted. It's as if some of these organizations can now read the tea leaves and are trying to get their last digs in before they hit the wall. Apparently, Veterans Affairs just tweeted "Happy March Holiday Season" to serving members and veterans. Almost like it was designed to rub smelly cheese in their faces. Assuming it's not a hoax, it's neither cute, funny or, inclusive IMO. It leaves me wondering whether the intent was to annoy or if it's possible that they're so out of touch with the people they represent that they really think "Happy Easter" causes offence to non-christian members of the CAF or RCMP. News flash.... it doesn't. But what does annoy them is being continuously subjected to woke nonsense and being used as pawns in support of it. Imagine how many members mumbled FU under their breath as they cleared that tweet. The exact same sentiment I had when I saw it and I'm pretty sure those on deployment are saying the same thing out loud while simultaneously extending both middle fingers. My second thought was to feel badly for the two young ladies in the stock photo who (likely) had nothing to do with (and no advanced knowledge of) the intended message. History isn't going to be kind. I think woke nonsense will age just as badly (and just as quickly) as the hateful ridicule and ill-informed rhetoric of the rabid pro-vax crowd. As it turns out, my next task is to hide "March Holiday Eggs" (from the "March Holiday Bunny") for my grandkids.

  37. The reality is that these excesses of support for certain groups diminishes the basic rights of everyone, for example, for women’s rights and religious rights. Once we say that protecting these LGBTQ2S+ groups’ rights comes at all costs, those costs will include the majority of people accepting education and enforcement of values they don’t like or want for themselves or their children. It’s on the level of social engineering. People are making fun of Trump selling Bibles and talking about keeping America Judeo-Christian, but he’s absolutely right that without asserting the values upon which our civilization was founded, we will lose that civilization and way of life. The “Christian” West has a fertility problem: Our countries have pushed the sexual revolution to the limit, supporting lifestyles that will not result in natural born children. We are also giving free birth control to young women and girls. We are supporting unlimited abortion rights, going as far as enshrining it as a right (France). We’re also euthanizing greater numbers of people and making life unaffordable for families in order to “save the planet” from climate change. You have to see the overall pattern here, which is a rejection of the values that made our civilization thrive and reproduce itself (“Go forth and multiply”). The mass decline in population of Christians will fuel immigration and further erasure of the Christian West. People don’t seem to understand that our former values were the secret of our success. Not all that glitters is gold. With the rainbow revolution you’re going to see further diminishing of traditional families. Muslims will oppose it generally, but once dominantly Christian societies like Quebec are now the most vehemently opposed societies to religious expression. The secular agenda (France, Quebec, most of urban North America) is the LGBTQ2S+ agenda. It’s being framed as a defence against antisemitism, but it actually represents the end of Judaism, Islam, Christianity, and other religions. It represents extension of the secular/sexual revolution and further suppression of the family and natural male and female identities. The state becomes the parents in this brave new world. This is what’s at stake in the culture wars. Many evangelicals refer to it as spiritual warfare. They are mocked as out of touch and superstitious, but in this revolution, I’m on their side.

  38. Make it too toxic to come here illegally and punish the companies that hire them severly where the risk isn't worth the reward and make them us E-Verify . No jobs, no housing and no government services= no reason to come here. Also close the asylum loophole, only accept asylum seekers from countries that share a border with us and not take any economic asylum seekers. Build the wall with sensors and cameras and have drones actively patrolling the border with border patrol agents close enough to investigate attempted breaches. Once we clear out all the people trying to come in for jobs it will be easier to catch the drug cartels smuggling.

  42. What an extortionate scam carbon taxes are. Destroy businesses and living standards without making a significant dent in emissions. Only a brainwashed disempowered population would accept this. Well the writing is on the wall for Canada. Why would any major investors take on our regulations and taxes? Why come here when you can go elsewhere? Of course the Liberals try to mask the tepid growth and falling living standards with mass immigration that increases inflation and emissions. How can anyone with a brain take this government seriously? The desperate will continue to come to Canada because they’re desperate. Those with the means to leave and live in a jurisdiction with higher living standards will do so, and the vicious circle will continue. Poilievre, if the conservative-fearing brainwashed public have the good sense to vote for him, will need a majority government and the stamina of a marathon champion to undo the mess made over the past 8 years.
