Democratically elected by the people. Rather undemocratically removed by political opponents.

Nor Trudeau, nor most any other so-called leader.

He will, as soon as his feet touch the ground whereon he walks

Quite sure most people “support” the idea of equality in principle, regardless of their political affiliation. The division is in HOW we do that.

Except for the ones thrown out by the Nicean council under Charlemagne. Perhaps God ordained him to decide which gospels were true, and which are actually the works of Beelzebub.

Yep. I remember when this forum called me a Nazi for explaining what I had learned over 20 years of on-the-job training. But those folks sure are all quiet now. Or maybe they died

They are still being imposed at the federal level, which means any federal employee, any federal service and wherever the fed has final say. Here is a headline with the word “required” Canadians required to get COVID shot every nine months For those of you who do not habla- Canadians will be required to get a booster shot every nine months for the foreseeable future, Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos told reporters.

“Thou shalt not kill, except with a Colt AR-15.”

I voted somewhere between 3 and 5. However it depends on what is meant by “support”. What are the consequences? I don’t support giving the state any right to intervention in what a woman does to her body. Unfortunately, even though I dont like the idea, she has full rights in my opinion. So technically my answer is 5. As far as I know Canada has no abortion laws whatsoever, either restricting or allowing. That is probably best imo. Don’t try to debate it, don’t try to resolve the issue. You won’t. All it does is increase the level of social discord. Despite the freedom to do so, there are no lineups for late third trimester abortions. Because people have a conscience of their own. We need no bureaucrat to tell us. That is why I raise this warning to all ye, Candians. Woe betide those politicians who are keen to inject this artificial debate into our politics. Whoever is doing that, that man is the enemy of civil society.

What we all need is a little more soul

It's debatable that is what the word means, although it could mean something like that. In latin it contrasts with anumus, which means conscious mental rational thoughts. This is not unlike our two identifiable hemispheres, left and right brain, which are separate massive organs connects by a thin strand or bridge of neurons between them. Perhaps a soul is more than anima. If it is a life-force alone, could we attribute a soul to mushrooms, for example? Vegans shudder at the thought. You heartless bastards... .... Or is the soul something more? What exactly is even meant here by soul anyway. Soul what? Do I believe in the existence of soul? Yes, I listened to Marvin Gaye. Right on, brother. Right on...

No major improvement in carbon emission reduction. No improvement in infrastructure or health care services. No sanctions for the environment. Rather the opposite. That smacks of the same old same old to me. But the virtue signalling, oh my. As usual, the biggest poser is just a complete fake.

Well like said, that’s fine by me if they need their symbol or a rainbow flag for comfort. Whatever it is that somehow excuses you people from your sins, be it a flag or bible. It’s different now when I hear that math is racist. Clearly it must be, when there is such an obvious racial divide among student’s grade averages. When you divide by skin colour, this may be apparent. But does it mean that math must be racist? Not math itself, of course. For example saying one, two etc. How about the way it is taught? Hard to say. But in my experience, not really. Or does the problem originate in another area entirely, that has less to with race as it does to income and quality of life. If we look at the division now by these lines, the reason for disparity becomes clear. Not addressing the true cause and effect does not solve the real problem. Just more money wasted, time wasted, while suffering continues. The past 20-30 years are my evidence. Canada achieved nothing.

Because Mr. Trudeau seeks to make Canada a “post-national state”. In order to do that, old Canada must die. The next generation of Canadians will taught to despise Canada for its past. Never mind what they want to do for the future. Their own ideas are already tried, proven failures. Failures that are repeated are naive. That is why I wrote, newly woke. A lack of knowledge of the past, doomed to repeat, again and again. And again, and again.

Sorry but the argument in the OP completely falls apart under even just minimal scrutiny. It implies that since Don Trump is convicted of teeson, his appoitees are also guilty. Ok, so then those senators who voted for them, who voted these traitors into the supreme court, would also be guilty by extenshun. One can see how this rapidly descends to Stalinism. Bring on the purges, comrade. Sad to inform.

It's just an extension of my consistent message that is criticism of technology. I am a luddite.

We all went to school here. We know how it is. I suppose some would take issue with symbols that promote sexuality, when the topic should be Georg Cantor. And rightly so in my opinion. Especially when they are six years old. The newly woke see academia as racist white privilege. They seek to impose their message in every setting, like some mad obsession to right the wrongs of history. I don’t disagree those wrongs should be righted, it’s a question of how. My view rather than equalizing all things, which may satisfy no one, there should be more focus on the needs of individuals, encompassing the larger picture of the person’s past and culture. This takes effort and costs more money, but each person “deserves” the investment. That is why I view efforts at carte-blanche equality as laziness and stupidity that can only bring failure.

If I go into math class I don't need to see a pride symbol. Others who do are probably very insecure needy types who need constant pandering. So be it, as long as we can still get to math. On the other hand, maybe math is racist...

I don;t give a hootin who Ford is. His grand experiment resulted in failure, long term. His engine needs to be replaced. But, he had a pretty good run. We judge men differently now than the way they were judged in the past. Morality is temporal. That is why, anyone who argues history is unnecessary is a goddam fool in my opinion, and my sworn enemy. Yes, this could be about you... ask yourself... if the shoe fits.

What a whole lotta hooey and conjecture. You seem obsessed with Trump. He was just another president and actually did well in some areas, which many people approve of. Dismissing and demonizing those people is your undoing. It is not as though the "Left" cares about the plight of the poor while the right doesn't. That is crude and naive. Each side sees the problem, but their approach to solving it is quite different. Do I like seeing children separated from their families and thrown in detention while waiting for their immigration hearing? That occurred under Obama, Trump and Biden. But if I were American, would I like seeing a flood of people entering the country illegally, on foot and in truck trailers, these people knowing full well they will be protected upon their arrival. Yeah, I heard they caught some Al Qaeda coming in there. So much for Democrats theories. They lied so much, it screwed people's heads up. Those who believed and had faith in the system and its sanctioned media outlets had another thing coming. That's why you don't even know history. But it's not your fault. You are simply the product of a perverse modern civilization.

Intelligence? Seems more like a memory problem. Someone has a conveniently bad memory...

Pure nonsense. As if presidents do not and should not lie. What do you prefer to call "moral"? From a US president, I mean. I prefer a president who is able to avoid war and avoid killing as much as possible. Note that final part, as much as possible. Better an economic war than nuclear war. And that is what we are heading for under the current administration, because they take a hardline stance against Russia. Under Trump there was an effort to find some common understanding. And the same with the way he handled the Korean peninsula. Sorry that he upset your feelings though, with his harsh words. Sorry if he doesn't come across like some professional politician, the kind who knows how to say all flowery things to make you people feel good about yourselves. Then behind the scenes they do things like child internment camps (Obummer... your hero perhaps? Certain a hero of the liberal left, that's for sure. Now you got Uncle Joe, you got Russia gone insane, you got little Rocket Man doing his thing in NK. You got defund the police... crime levels breaking records, drugs from China, suicide breaking records. Suck it up, ye buttercups.

There is always some interpretation involved. The judge has choices. Plus the question of whether the punishment is appropriate. Accepting an award given by a reputable organization should not be a crime, for example. You can always see the level of freedom there is in society, and level fear a government has for its own people, by the way they react to peaceful protest and public criticism. That's why on this day of days, I shall celebrate the Canada that WAS, not the Canada that IS. Not the lying, racist and hateful Canada of a coward. But the Canada that was before, and hopefully will be once again, when he is gone. Saskatoon beaver takes down Canadian flag

Is he coming back today? Would be nice. Maybe he can go for a little stroll through the Byward Market. Have a Canada Day cookie.

Presumably he has a cell phone.
