Insults aren't debate, they are the opposite of debate.

The greatest tax grab of all time, not to mention a colossal indoctrination of young people.

I don't share your negative outlook. When I was a child, living in British Columbia, racism was accepted. First Nations people did not have the right to vote. People of African, Japanese and Chinese descent were decriminated against and that was seen as okay. Jews were denied entry to many clubs, restaurants and businesses. In the area I lived in in the west Kootenays, Doukhobors were shunned. Can you imagine that a community like that who are devoted to peace and devotion were looked down on by their neighbours. In 1975, a student at the U of S came out as gay and the Faculty Association executive met to have him expelled. Fortunately, the President of the Faculty Association spoke up and explained if the student was forced to leave for being a homosexual, so would he, for the same reason. Crime is down. Racism still exists but it has undergone a dramatic decline since I was a kid. We are living in a country that is blessed with the bounty God gave us. We live in peace. Our standard of living is incredible, compared to any other country. Our spiritual life is evolving, but God doesn't give a rat's pajamas how you lable yourself. It only cares that you treat others in the manner you would wish to be treated.

https://edition.cnn.com/2023/05/15/politics/read-durham-report/index.html Well we'll well...the FBI had no cause to investigate Trump and the Great Russia Collusion Hoax. And now...Wray thinks he can slime his way out of this by tossing Comey under the bus. What a pack of dirt bags the US FBI and CIA are. Not to mention Barry and Ol" Joe, who it now appears knew this was all horseshit to begin with. Libbies...this is your leadership. Your media...you Libbies can be held responsible for truly warping the law and destruction of democracy. Not "MAGA"...not Trump...not even Tucker Carlson. You are responsible for this filth. I hope you all choke on it.

Yeah but what does the Bible tell you to think about this?

Tony Keller lays it all out pretty clearly in this Globe and Mail column. Canada's emissions constitute 1.5% and falling. China's emissions have been increasing at the rate of Canada's ENTIRE emissions every two years. Think about that, those so anxious about the oilsands emissions. The oilsands represent 11% of Canada's emissions. So China alone is adding almost 5 of them every single year! Five new oilsands pop up in China every year! And China isn't alone. Throughout the developing world other countries, India, Malaysia, and Vietnam, all of them are increasing their emissions. The developing world now represents 70% of CO2 emissions and they are not slowing down. They're growing them as fast as possible, adding more coal plants every year. We're going to bankrupt ourselves making our energy ever more expensive, punishing Canadians and Canadian corporations, punishing Canadian manufacturers so they move to places with no carbon taxes and cheap energy like uh, Vietnam and China and India and Malaysia - while the rest of the world is building coal plants. We're putting every roadblock we can in the way of developing and exporting natural gas that could cause some of those countries to ditch coal while seeking to close down as much of our energy industry as possible. For what? It's not going to help a goddam thing. All it is is virtue signaling. It's so Trudeau can stand on a stage, lift his chin and look smug and noble. Take China. It is now the biggest polluter, by far. Its emissions more than doubled between 2002 and 2010, as Canada’s flatlined. China’s emissions grew at a pace equivalent to adding an extra Canada’s worth of carbon into the atmosphere each year, for eight years in a row. China’s growth has since slowed; it’s now adding new carbon emissions at rate of one Canada every two years. China produces a third of the world’s emissions, more than all of the developed world. That’s more than 20 times Canada’s carbon output. And China has company. India’s emissions, barely higher than Canada’s in 1990, now equal those of the EU. Indonesia, whose emissions were a third of Canada’s in 1990, is now a bigger polluter than us. Or consider Vietnam. I travelled the country for a few dollars a day in the 1990s when its official name, the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, still meant something. There were no bank machines, the national airline flew Soviet jets inherited from defunct East Germany, cars were a rarity and electricity demand was minimal. In 1990, Britain’s carbon output was more than 2,500 per cent larger than Vietnam’s. By 2021, the two countries were level – because Britain nearly halved its emissions, while Vietnam’s carbon output increased 16-fold. https://archive.is/xMAEs

Actually...you're wrong about that. There's one thing we can do. We can vote for whoever professes to be against such impositions of silliness.

Anything think using a source called Chevron.com to talk about climate change may result in biased information ?

I am going to propose a solution that might be laughable to the everyday political man and woman out there, however here it is: 4 divisions of sports: 1. men's 2. women's 3. trans men's 4. trans women's. Then, if people care about their identity as trans, do the work there and slowly bring forward your ideas, if one drives a fast train into society, then the reaction comes, is just the reality.

To our most valued and longest serving poster, Mr. Michael Hardner [nom de plume] who has contributed almost 40K posts over his TWENTY YEARS HERE. TWENTY YEARS TODAY ! Time well spent !

The Justice Department investigated Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation for four full years, from the time of Trump’s inauguration until the end of 2016. This was discovered as the result of information just released from a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. Despite four years of investigation, no grand juries or indictments resulted. So next time you hear Trumpers whining about “political witch hunts,” remember that Trump ran his own witch hunt for four solid years. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/22/us/politics/fbi-clinton-foundation.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

Gerald Butts advised Trudeau that this is the most effective way to appeal to those simple minds that think a tax can change the weather. Trudeau's arrogance does not allow him to give a rats ass about the economic consequences, so long as he can stay in power.

You can't spam the board with 30+ posts a day and then accuse anyone of following you. Not only are you near-impossible to avoid on account of your shitting up the whole forum all day, how could I possibly keep on top of all of it when I can (apparently?) only type with two fingers? 🤔 I jumped into a conversation where you were already engaged in a fight...which is the majority of the threads you post in, which also happens to be the majority of the threads on this forum. That bolded part is incoherent nonsense. I would have loved to be in your head when you typed out that gem.

Let me echo the hard fact that George Santos is a criminal and a serial liar. He is unfit to serve in Congress. The Constitution allows people like him to be removed, but the GOP would rather keep a criminal in their midst than demonstrate integrity.

PERIOD. You Nazis need to get a life. You aren't going to win every argument. Logic is not going to be on your side ALL the time. Sometimes you are WRONG. Boys and girls, YOU AREN'T ENTITLED TO HAVING EVERYONE AGREE WITH EVERYTHING YOU SAY. A political message board is an OPEN forum where all views are permitted. You don't have to stay here if you are triggered every time someone disagrees with you. There are PLENTY of liberal forums out there where free speech doesn't exist. Oh, and unless one of you retards can DOCUMENT ANY PAYMENTS TO ME FROM RUSSIA, YOU'RE JUST A DESPICABLE CHILDISH LIAR by accusing me of that. Nobody here is paid for opinions. Nobody's opinion here is worth TWO FCKING CENTS. Snowflakes GROW THE FCK UP.

Not unless it happens. Conservatives tend to work on logic.

There are three types of leftists and they're all racist for one reason or another: 1) The racists at the top (Demonrats): they craft policies that hurt poor people and pass those off as being altruistic in nature (eg, they bring in millions of illegal immigrants and say "Awww what a swell buncha guys we are 😘 ", but they do it for the cheap labour, which undercuts American workers and also drives up the cost of low-income housing. This works like a charm for the Demonrats - the vast majority of the poorest Americans vote for them) they create narratives that subjugate anyone dumb enough to believe them (eg "no jobs fo you n-----, them racist pigs'll kill ya so you need to be in a gang, dawg. Look what they did ta M Brown an' Trayvon. Don't be a foo, stay outta skoo." Anyone who falls victim to this Demonrat message is basically a slave: they're tethered to the lowest economic rung for life, some of them will even end up making license plates for free.) 2) The racist adherents: the folks who just hate white people and therefor adore the Dems' hateful/divisive messages 3) The useful idjit racists: Stupid people with the best of intentions. These are the soccer moms and simp man-buns who aren't intrinsically racist but are dumb enough to blindly support the aforementioned racist policies & harmful narratives without realizing what they're actually doing I think that our resident domestic terrorist epitomizes category 3: she's not an actual racist, but she's someone who does everything in their power to advance the harmful narratives like, "M Brown was a gentle giant who was murdered by racist pigs so we need to loot, burn, and kill some cops", which just serve to divide the country along racial grounds. Unlike the majority of cat 3's, she's sucked in to the extent where she thinks that torching people's businesses is justified. "Look mama, I burned that black man's business down for Michael Brown!" The MHs, Contrarians and Beaves of the world are all lower-level cat 3s. They blindly pay lip service to every single one of the Dem narratives but they haven't joined any of their militias yet (KKK, BLM, Antifa). Not many people admit to being in group 2 though, so I'll at least give NYLefty credit for owning up to the fact that he's an actual racist. At the top of the food chain here are people like Barack "I think we're all a bit racist" Obama and Ilhan "it's all about the Benjamins" Omar. Fun fact about group 2s: some of them think that it's not considered racist to be racist against white people for a whole host of reasons, some of which are vastly dumber than others. It's tough to accuse anyone of being a category 1, those people are pure evil. It's basically just the policy makers at the "top" of their slimy food chain. Some are elected and some form the power behind the throne, and the majority of them stay outta the limelight. I honestly think that there are actually elected officials who still fit into category 3 - just dummies who are out tilting at windmills because they think that they're saving the planet - but it's possible that they're just good actors. Ok, then there's AOC. I don't know wtf that thing is. She's just a whirlwind of stupid elected by a maelstrom of 1d10cy.

We would probably be much farther ahead if we focused on adaption rather than prevention. I don't think anything we do can stop it. i'm all over reducing pollution in general anyway. It's nice to have smog free cities or the like. So as tech allows for it to be done responsibly, sure. But sacrificing our people's lives and livelyhood on the alter of climate change when it makes no difference is insane.

Kind of a thoughtless analogy at any rate. Just because climate change is real doesn't mean anything we do to fight it is a good idea.

America HAS ALWAYS been great. In the 1950's it was ONLY great for white males and their CLOSE friends, and that is the MESSAGE of MAGA: go back to white supremacy; when only white heterosexuals had legal privileges. 💡

EVERYTHING is BAD. We have to do SOMETHING, by myata. Chapter 103

That is a fact. If the public decides it want certain people, they vote for them Just because it does not fit your idea of democracy, that, in fact is democracy and what happens.

Of course there can be, and those accusations were no more hateful or hurtful than what they were speaking out against. Crying about being having your reputation attacked after attacking and mocking an entire minority group is peak irony. It's a charade if they sue for it.

Big surprise. Well, anyway she gets to decide what is proper to teach children, parents' rights and all that. If I want my high school kid to know about the holocaust she's going to veto that. And let's all remember that flying a rainbow flag is divisive (CdnFox) and no none should interfere with the right to express an opinion (Myata) also Woke is the SAME IDEOLOGY AS NAZIISM (reason10) and Canada's Woke Supreme Court says Free Speech isn't important (I am Groot) Let's put our priorities straight: students should not be exposed to poems that invoke the memory of slavery, and we have Nazi anti-semites in place keeping their eyes out for woke Thought Criminals and their artifacts that can be erased from public consciousness.

Gosh if only he had googled an internet dictionary to look up the word “sedition”, he’d be a free man. According to one uneducated user on this site that’s all he would have needed to win his case.

Thanks for proving my point. 😆👌

This means that CRT now means any mention of race or ideas about social matters. It's perfect for people who want to destroy any sphere of thought around criticism of our systems.

Well we know from the Freedom Convoy that this government will toss out our rights and introduce martial law if the opposition gets too vocal. Canada is riding on the coattails of the past generations who built this country and its democratic institutions, while also denigrating these ancestors and tearing down their statues. Even the greatest unifying achievements like Vimy are being erased by the cultural revolutionaries. A weak-minded wannabe actor and supply teacher is dividing Canadians against each other and claiming to rescue Canada from a shameful past. The truth is that Canada has gone downhill since the Trudeau Liberals came to power, really downhill.

Well aren't you the typical bigot. You didn't read Kipling because Gunga Din wasn't white, eh?

the common refrain as you watch these videos is that Canada is extremely expensive the wages don't keep up with the price of things in Canada and that this is due to a massively bloated overbearing nanny police state government which favours giant corporate monopolies over free markets

Loss of life for covid under Biden wasn't much better. Biden had a vaccine to work with. Trudeau caused underlying issues. Trumps were blatant. One thing he did not cause, was unnecessary panic. Trudeau caused unnecessary crises with all the lockdowns and fear mongering, from unprecedented levels of drug overdoses, homelessness and women seeking shelter further alienated in abusive relationships. Trump is a bull in a China shop. Trudeau is a clumsy kid running with a box of eggs. Only difference, is one is better at hiding the damage that they have done. What you also won't know until later, are all the people with cancer, who stopped screening not due to shortages, but due to guilt. Fear. Doctors were pleading. The amount of people with serious mental health issues, exacerbated by Trudeaus policies. I have seen several people I know, who are now homeless. Had jobs prior to the pandemic.

All NATO countries operate in English as well as their native language.

You don't have any idea how I connected state-owned industry with Communism? That's really telling. Do you think Communism means folks who support Trans rights? I'm open to explaining it to you, but you have to take the first step.

FACTS. Trump put America on a credit card economy which was on the verge of collapse when he left office. Biden did a stellar job keeping the economy running well, and Biden slashed Trump’s deficit by 50%.

What a wonderful self-serving delusion. Of course, because self-reflection and perspective are alien to you. The only possible explanation for criticism of your foolishness is REEE THE DEVIL!

You have it backwards Michael. Western society is not built on a "pluralistic confederation" specifically. Western society was built on Judeo-Christian civilization and culture. That is where democracy and human rights came from. We don't need this diversity-inclusion nonsense as if something new is being invented. Simple go back to basic Christian principles of love for thy neighbour and respect for individuals. Everyone should be treated the same, with respect. No need to single out one group for special treatment as they are doing now. Just teach respect and love for every individual.

Liberal/Leftist elites want: 1) to divide the people 2) population reduction 3) unquestioning obedience Some specifics: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2013/07/21/how_media_lies_have_distorted_a_tragedy_119311.html https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/billionaire-barbarian-at-the-gates-part-1/ https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-59595952 https://accuracy.org/release/schumers-record-pro-war-backed-by-wall-street/ https://www.vox.com/world/2022/12/16/23507640/dc-party-invite-military-contractors-money-ukraine-russia-war-us https://nypost.com/2022/05/17/black-lives-matter-spent-at-least-12-million-on-mansions/ https://www.npr.org/2022/03/10/1085174528/sackler-opioid-victims https://thefederalist.com/2018/02/06/californias-lgbt-flavored-textbooks-illustrate-growing-politicization-u-s-curricula/ https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-41593384 https://thefederalist.com/2018/02/20/rich-white-men-institutionalizing-transgender-ideology/ https://www.politico.com/news/2021/01/01/yellen-made-millions-in-wall-street-speeches-453223 https://redstate.com/brandon_morse/2019/02/11/mother-arrested-taken-jail-seven-hours-misgendering-trans-person-n101021 https://nypost.com/2023/03/03/accused-pedo-mayor-patrick-wojahn-called-pete-buttigieg-his-buddy/

I'd be even wealthier if I had a dollar for every person living in a tent.

What time is it right now? Add 4 minutes. Unlike her late husband she's really not a good leader or good at the job. Toronto will sink a little further during her time. But it's literally what they asked for unless they come to their senses pretty quick

If you focused more on informing and crafting your arguments, maybe you could be. Instead, you waste your time cluelessly boasting to your bemused opponents about how savagely you're defeating them, and about how frustrated and dejected that apparently makes them feel. 🤡

the Constitutional Monarchy is the bulwark against totalitarianism it is the Canadian constitutional separation of powers which staves off a dictatorship in that the Prime Minister cannot be the Sovereign and the Sovereign cannot be Prime Minister

What did you ever do to try and fight and save democracy in Canada? All I ever see you do here is attack and mock anyone who does. Stop trying to pretend that you give a crap about anything because I just do not see it. And humans have nothing to do with climate change as far as I am concerned. 90% of the earth's surface is pretty much covered by oceans, lakes and rivers and jungles and forests. If there is some kind of climate change going on, then it must have something to do with mother nature and her rearranging of her furniture geography of the earth like she has been doing for thousands of years, and not mankind. If you have a problem with this so-called climate change then go after China and India. They are producing most of the pollution in the world. And while people in the west are supposed to be cutting back on fossil fuels and coal, China is building more coal plants. Stop thinking like a leftist liberal. Liberalism will mess with anyone's minds of those who will believe their constant bull crap. What say you? 😇

I don't have cable and I've never watched Fox news but the Liberals have now granted themselves this censorious authority over the internet as well Canada now has the most restricted internet of any ostensibly free country in the world that is frankly humiliating

Here's the bottom line. FOX News takes the position that men should not be able to compete in women's sports and that kids should not be exposed to efforts to normalize that which is completely abnormal. This upset a handful of loud and seriously warped people who think their tiny minority deserves to be treated any way they want. Unfortunately, reality doesn't...or shouldn't work that way.

The day after a jury unanimously found Donald Trump guilty of sexual assault and defamation, forcing him to pay $5 million, Donald Trump attacked his sexual assault victim in a nationally televised CNN program. After claiming that he had never met his victim, despite being presented with a photograph of him next to her, he said: “What kind of a woman meets somebody, and brings them up, and within minutes you're playing hanky panky in a dressing room." He called the Federal trial, “a continuation of the greatest witch hunt of all time." So, here’s the thing: He lost five million dollars over this, right? He has now proven that $5 million is not enough money to deter him from making defamatory statements about Ms. Carroll. The logical step for Carroll is to waltz right back into court, before the same judge, and ask for summary judgement and seek damages of $100 to $250 million. Enough money, she will argue, to punish Mr. Trump enough that he stops attacking his victim. Legally, it’s the same case so it will go before the same Federal judge, who will almost certainly make a summary judgement ruling that the comment was defamatory and untrue. After all, by his own statement, he first said he never met her, despite knowing he had, and then he admits to having “hanky panky” with her in the dressing room. As in the Dominion lawsuit, a jury will most likely rule only on the amount of damages. Guilt has already been determined.

You just QUOTED me for things I did not say. You are a f-ing liar. You live in fantasy and make believe. You just made up words I never said and put quotes around them. Welcome to my Ignore List, troll.

over one hundred thousand Canadians killed in two World Wars to defend against this very sort of tyranny that legacy thrown on the pyre without a second thought

W-ww-witch hunt?! 😬

Like OMG what does snow have to do with Canada? We need more lions and dragons and unicorns and shit that isn't Cdn at all - toss in a platypus FFS.
