  1. We have inefficient transit because we are and have been a car culture. Tokyo, density is absurdly higher than anywhere in Canada. And they built their system right after the US gave them everything after WWII. Hong Kong is even higher density in a area smaller than GTA. NYC has been building their system for well over 100 years to get where they are now. London same as NYC, over 100 years and still building. No sense to buy a car because there is no place to park in any of those places LOL Nothing "woke" about it. Our municipalities and the people that live in them would rather drive than take transit and not that it cost an absurd amount, it is less palatable. Comparing to cities that have had this for over 100 years is stupid.

  3. The hypotheticals have to be plausible. If you want to propose that Trump might say he is going to turn into Godzilla and eat nuclear reactors while he stomps on large cities... are we supposed to be worried that will actually happen and spend time worrying about the consequences?

  5. ANTI-FA is the most fascist organization in the country. They use violence and threats of violence to promote their agenda. They demonize, belittle and attack anyone that dares have a different opinion. They consider everyone that isn't on board with their agenda to be enemies, calling them traitors to invoke a sense of nationalism. ANTI-FA is the most fascist organization in the country. Maybe even in the world. They don't have the original tenet of "right-wing ideology", but they embrace all the tactics. In many respects, they are very much like Mussolini.

  9. Um, no. They already had a 2 state solution. The Arab world, including the Palestinians at the time, rejected that and went to war against Israel. As part of that war... Israel certainly did expel some Palestinians... it was war. They lost. If you don't want to suffer the consequences of losing a war... don't start a war.

  12. Another example of your passion/zealousness getting in the way of you saying something true. I have never stated a pro-vax statement. I have said dozens of times that I did not care... "did not care" is not the same as "vaccinations are/were good"... You must have some dyslexia. Also, my comment is on how they vary in their views.. not riots. Even Chatgpt can see those two are not the same. As always, its a good thing that you are not in my office. Your irrational passion would preclude from even getting close to doing the job correctly. We are paid to get it right not be right.. How many initial claims are there in a given month is not the same as many initial claims should there be.. but you demonstrate that you could not separate the two.

  16. Of course not, but I sure do expect a much better effort. Not a minimal effort followed by meaningless apologies. Like 7 months for the supposedly world class army to clear Hamas from an area the size of a postage stamp? I'm no anti-semite but Hamas still is holding hostages and deserves what they get. And protesters here that celebrate Oct 7 should be locked up for what are pretty clear hate crimes.

  17. I am well aware of what Trump is accused of saying... it is the implication here that you made that Nationalist was saying the same thing. That was pretty obvious. So why do you keep playing these games?

  18. Is English your first language? He was very clearly saying they were losers in the fact that they are dead... in that, you lose when you die, not as an insult... he also did not say suckers, so putting that in quotes as if he said it, saying "just like Trump", is not honest.

  19. I have a friend in the US who, for many years, has been very 'Free Palestine". I have always kind of avoided any discussion with her on the topic because in her view Israel = evil, Palestine = 100% innocent angels. And I've always suspected the truth lies somewhere in between there. The question for me is "What does 'Free Palestine' mean to the government and people of Palestine?" These demonstrations and rallies in Canada and the US, in my opinion, show that to Palestinians - it means the eradication of Israel as a state and the killing of Jews worldwide. I am upset to see these ones openly chanting about killing Jews and watching gov't and authorities do next to nothing about it. In Canada.

  23. To what you refer is called the Budapest Memorandum. Russia, US and other European nations AGREED to guarantee Ukraine's security in exchange for relinquishing their nuclear weapons. Putin and Russia reneged and invaded. US and NATO is keeping their end of the agreement. gnat boy is the coward who wants to surrender to Putin's aggression.

  24. The thought actually did occur to me as i wrote that. Most (not all) of what today's conservatives believe actually was the heart of what used to be "liberal" beliefs 100 and even 50 years ago. Individual freedoms, freedom to choose your own way and not be forced to societal norms, no 'class' society (nowadays called intersectionalism), "all people being treated eqaually under the law", etc. All of that is opposed by the left and the so-called 'liberals' now. Liberalism has become socialism, which is the opposite of being 'liberal'. But the line you quoted referred to conservatives, and by and large it wasn't conservatives who were interested in compelling people to take the jab by force.

  27. We saw some movement in early january and trump took the lead by a nose (but - like a fairly big nose. An "italian" lead if you will), but since then the polls have been largely stagnant - they just bounce around a bit within their margin of error as you'd expect but there's no real movement. In elections there tends to be specific points where the undecided or 'soft' votes tend to move one way or another, and they tend to be fairly stable in between. The first week or so of an election, right after debates, the last 4 days etc. I think right now we've just gone through the 'pre-eleciton' phase and barring something significant happen we're probably not going to see a lot of motion between now and the start of the election, where people start paying attention again. Maybe at the nominations where there's a little media coverage of the 'official' candidates. But obviously the start of the race is going to see trump with a slight advantage over biden. The campaign will decide who wins in the end tho, campaigns always matter but this time more than usual i'd think.

  28. The first clue that someone has not actually read Das Kapital (the magnum opus for socialism/communism) is that they focus on the authoritarian ways that governments have done in the name of soclalism. If you read Marx (which the OP has not).. you would know that Marx did not support this but thought that it would inevitably lead this. His writings are more prediction than telling society what to do. Where he was wrong was that he completely missed the technology bandwagon.

  30. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/doctors-retirement-capital-gains-1.7181885 Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is rejecting a call from some doctors for his government to reconsider its planned capital gains tax hike. The doctors warn that the tax change could undermine efforts to recruit and retain physicians in Canada and threaten the stability of the health-care system. Canada is facing a severe doctor shortage. An estimated 6.5 million Canadians are going without access to primary care as family physicians retire en masse and medical schools struggle to recruit new residents to replace them. Driving doctors out of canada - that's probably a winning election strategy. 🙄 It's like he's not even pretending to be on Canada's side any more.

  31. A soft coup. LOL... Did Trump try to have the military deployed to protect the government? Yes. Did he tell the crowd to go peacefully protest? Yes. Did he ask the crowd to stop rioting? Yes. The only softness here is between your ears...or legs...or both.

  32. How is that selling out the nation? You continue to have a real problem with repeating your same assertions as if that somehow makes them true or provides any explanation. Trump is a businessman. He was pursuing an opportunity in Russia before he ran for President and even said why he should lose out on a deal if he might lose. Once he secured the nomination, his focus was on winning the Presidency. There was never any conflict of interest, and nothing happened. I am not interested in changing the subject to your biased interpretation for how the Emoluments Clause works. No, I did not read absolutism into anything, as I have repeatedly questioned you to be sure of what you are doing, because you play games otherwise... just as you are doing right now.

  36. I honestly don’t think anyone is going to pack up their family and relocate to foreign country because of a hypothetical additional tax they might incur decades in the future And unless they do so before June when the CG increases, they’re only to end up incurring the tax now instead of decades from now Besides doctors make a lot of money it’s not like selling their business is their only retirement option they have more opportunities to save and invest than the vast majority of society. They can invest in stocks and bonds and mutual funds like the rest of us plebes. Not to mention that in addition to their day job many also dabble in all these private healthcare rackets doing corporate and executive wellness programs and side-gig consulting for insurance companies etc. They’re not going to be retiring in poverty.

  37. It is very hard to try and reason with some people who are just plain bloody stoopid. How can anyone in their right mind say that all is well in Canada. Some people were just born with very few brain cells to work with. In Canada, if anyone says anything that upsets the Marxist globalist dictator in Ottawa, they can shut down your bank and credit card accounts. If that is not communism, well what the hell is it then, eyeball? I know that the Marxist globalist dictator in Ottawa is trying hard to implement the globalist CBDC(digital currency)into our banking system. What a great and better way to control ones money then to be able to control what you spend your own money on. Sadly, the CBDC will be rolled out in such a way by our useless and lying politicians and the lying MSM to make it appear as though this will be a great way of doing your banking business. Ha-ha-ha. No doubt, loser lefties like eyeball will think that CBDC will be just great for Canadians. Just wait until eyeball says or does something that pizzes off the government. By that time, it will probably be too late. Now you can starve or take some politically correct Marxist training classes to get back in the governments favor. With inflation at an all time high, deep in debt to the banksters, housing is a big problem thanks to massive third world immigration, high gas and food prices and after all of that, our dear politicians give themselves a nice hefty raise. And eyeball thinks, eh, all is good. Woke the hell up you silly leftist 🤡 of a fool. 👎

  38. Sometimes it's an insurrection involving thousands of people - but zero guns - that the FBI somehow didn't know about, and which almost overthrew the gov't, other times it was just a protest that Trump turned into an insurrection with his rousing call to war, which didn't sound warlike at all to the unaided ear, and which was done while he simultaneously pleaded for peace, civility and respect for law enforcement on Twitter and FB videos. It depends on who they're blaming at that particular moment. It was everything and nothing all at once. You're not supposed to question the narratives. Or science. Or whatever they're calling it.

  42. The Republicans ALWAYS rack up bigger deficits than Democrats. ALWAYS. Biden’s spending on Taiwan and Ukraine is a pee in the toilet compared to the trillions Bush burned invading Iraq. And we don’t give these countries money. We give them military aid. It’s basically a credit card that lets them purchase American military products. So Raytheon gets the money, not these countries. And,like it or not, it gets those weapons tested.
