  3. You going to ignore the question first asked to you here or what? You were asked: "When did trump announce that? Where is this announcement?" So... can you answer? Will you answer? Lets see where you are getting this nonsense. Maybe you will be honest enough to admit you got sucked into a leftist talking point that is a lie and you repeated it here not realizing it?

  4. LOL - well that's believable for newbs, but i would assume by the time they got out having completed their service they had a basic working knowledge. Hahaha - i missed that - probably thought he was doing great seeing as the target was SSOOOOO far away

  5. I'll agree that they don't generally out and out lie but they often do either lie by omission or use language that is suggestive or emotionally charged to cast one group or another in a bad light. The famous often quoted example especially true in the states but also here is that if the right wing does something bad or wrong the left leaning media says "so and do did this very wrong thing". Whereas when it's the left it's often "Conserviatives Pounce And Accuse So and So of .... " which is designed to give the impression that the story isn't really about what he did, but that conservatives are attacking them on it. There are more horrible examples like the recent cbc stories insisting that Smith sent emails that she very obviously didn't but sticking by their story with no evidence at all till after that election when they said "oh our bad, shouldn't have said that", but even with things like the trucker's convoy stories about us funding or russia funding it were severely played up in the more left papers and the 'corrections' were tiny and on page 57 underneath the obituaries if they appeared at all. As any magician will say - it's pretty easy to lie to people without lying to people.

  6. The challenges mostly go up and down, they're above and below, between the governed and their governments. It's not who's in power that matters so much as the sheer power.

  7. It is bad, and sad. Don't you agree that foreigners should not be influencing YOUR elections? How would you feel if Putin was helping Trudeau?

  8. I disagree on how 'right-wing' the papers are. To say nothing of the networks. All of the papers, as far as I know, and I read a number, have been pretty much marching in lockstep on almost all social issues for many years. It's only been since the housing crisis got bad and a number of economists, including bank economists started insisting immigration was because of it that any of the papers even allowed the slightest criticism of any of it. Even now, even when columnists blame the housing crisis on too many new people they virtually all focus on foreign workers and foreign students. I think I have seen on actual opinion that immigration itself be cut back. Just one. Meanwhile, the major 'conservative' columnists continue to insist Canada needs even more immigration. The same kind of thing goes for the trans issue. Only in the last year or so have I seen anything printed critical of the existing orthodoxy about trans rights. But I've never seen anything printed that calls into question abortion rights, gay rights, or the death penalty (for just three examples). Some of the Postmedia papers will ruthlessly criticize the Liberals for crime and weak sentencing but no one dares to criticize Gladue. And you won't find anything printed about the disproportionate number of people with suspiciously dark faces on the wanted lists, or the disproportionate number of people with immigrant-sounding names being arrested - when they even name those arrested anymore. They've mostly stopped doing that BECAUSE of those suspiciously immigrant-sounding names. There have been a few columns in the NP about the complaints and demonstrations about what is being taught in schools on trans stuff, but almost nothing about the degree of leftist tilt that has now infected the K-12 grades and what they're taught. And I've seen zero notice taken by the papers of the number of immigrants involved in all these anti-Israel/anti-Jewish/pro-Hamas demonstrations. Very little criticism of multiculturalism either. Right wing? I don't think so. I pay for news. So saying 'nobody' is incorrect. Young people won't pay for it, but they never bothered to consume it anyway. I would wager the age at which young people can be termed 'mature' has been pushed back quite a few years since I was younger.

  11. Sally...Trump did not refuse the peaceful transfer of power. On the 23rd, the power transfer happened without a hitch. You need to stop lying so regularly.

  12. Particularly when you tell them an election is not the time to discuss complicated policies. She was destroyed when she accepted the job of Finance Minister, a job she was absolutely unqualified for. And her sweeping denials of any responsibility for anything have not endeared her to the population. She is as disliked as Trudeau now.

  14. As is their right to. AFAIC I can't actually visualize anyone undertaking a University education marching about celebrating mass murder and kidnapping. How do you get a diploma if you can't even pass Sunday School....

  15. From my personal experience, knowing a lot of people who worked in Union shops... they are great if you have seniority, and suck for anyone else. Oh, you want to be a level B employee instead of C? Maybe in 5 years... maybe not. Layoffs? Ha ha sucker, all you level C go first! No hope of ever advancing unless someone above you moves. Absurd restrictions on your work, that are dictated by negotiations through the Union. You can't just show up and agree to take on more work for more pay. Oh, you want to run that piece of equipment over to someone? Oh no, that is Joes job, only Joe does that. You can't do that. No incentives to ever do more or work hard, as your pay will never change. If you can make 100 widgets an hour while others only make 40... it doesn't matter. In fact, most of the others will hate you because you are making them look bad. Is the Assembly line backed up somewhere? You get to stand around for hours and do nothing. Because you are not allowed to do anything else. Just stand there. Play on your phone.

  16. Erin O'Toole was the best person for the job. Unlike Sheer or Poilievre, Erin at least had a career before enteering politics.

  17. Yes you did. Let me quote you again ""The Prime Minister must be chosen by who is the best person for the job, not by what gender they are. " and considering Justin was chosen by the people, he must be the best person...by your own words. Seems to me you got both feet stuck in your bucket of shit words LOL

  18. I never once said that I even endorse Rona Ambrose, should the Conservatives ever wake up. She would have blown Justin out of the water first time out LOL The problem in todays politically correct environment is that having breasts, wearing a turban, changing gender, wearing hajib, skin colour is far more important than qualifications.

  19. 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.

  20. There is very little regulation in this market. Insanity. ? "Wilmott estimates the derivatives market at $1.2 quadrillion, to put that in perspective it is about 20 times the size of the world economy." If it collapse so will everything else in a very short time. https://seekingalpha.com/article/4046338-derivatives-explode-like-bomb
