  1. The way they've attempted to stop the drug from reaching the user so far has not been effective. It needs to be stopped at the source if at all possible. Trump showing how to use economics to stop crime and drugs, the same way it is done with the problem of drugs coming in from Latin America. You have to do both things. Since everyone can generally agree drugs are bad, this is not "virtue signalling".
  2. You just need to pay better attention, stay calm and don't react impulsively. Ice in your veins,stay the course. Not easy for liberals to do, I know. It's a conservative thing.
  3. Just sayin. Tariffs are being used for more than just making money. However, it has proven ineffective so far, as China are a bunch of bastards. But it seems like no one else is doing much of anything.
  4. Interesting point. Donald Trump seems to be the only one taking a major stand against China, using his trade war to impose China to shut down fentanyl shipments, Amid Trade War, Trump Urges Crackdown on Fentanyl Shipments
  5. So maybe nuking hurricanes is not such a bad idea after all?

      I'd try a 5-10 megaton airburst of the cleanest design. Right in the eyeball...

      Go big or go home. Just don't go golfing instead.

  6. Agreed, though he's never "excessive", imo. People deserve what they get. Don't like it? Grow some hair.
  7. Another virtue signaller has fallen by her own sword:

    Quote

    “I have deleted my tweet about the hurricane & Mar a Lago and sincerely apologize to all it offended,” the Right Honourable Kim Campbell, who was Canada’s first female prime minister, wrote in the tweet.

    “It was intended as sarcasm-not a serious wish of harm. Throwaway lines get a life of their own on Twitter. I shd know better. Mea culpa,”.

      I saw that and it was not sarcasm

  8. We know why they use these populist techniques, to get the headline, any news is good publicity, even and sometimes especially when it generates outrage. We may as well ignore it. Or better yet, call it out as bullshit, because we know, that is what it is. People used to be held accountable for issuing bullshit, but seems today we have softened our attitude. The politicos use populist statements, so that we get excited about unimportant issues, meanwhile the machinery churns on, money-makers for the e-lite, carry on. Politics...
  9. Although I do not like Doug Ford for several reasons, there is nothing to deny in this. Ford did what he said, more or less, to repeal the curriculum and re-introduce it after consultation with concerned parents. https://globalnews.ca/news/5789997/ford-government-new-sex-ed/ New and improved curriculum, sounds alright. Here's more- I don't see any backsliding in this, to me it looks like normal democratic process.
  10. What we are seeing is high drama, the very future of the Britons is at stake. The time has come for them to defend their sovereignity. Arise ye Britons! And all ye men who wear Kilts! There may not be another chance to defend the Kingdom.
  11. It certainly doesn't work, for Republicans conservatives. However virtue signallers fail to understand that when they put themselves up on that pedestal, they set the same high standard for themselves. Inconsistency. Double standard. That is their downfall, more than the actual "sin" itself.
  12. The same thing, in reverse.
  13. Perhaps we are all just sheep, divided arbitrarily 2 factions, then manipulated to believe whatever they want us to believe. They being the Globalists, the uber-elite, not even the 1%. Bilberbergs, blue blood, unseen and to us, unknown.
  14. Because Scots have been pussy-whipped into subjugation for so many years, they have lost their sense of self-determination. The few Scotsman I know, all old men, are quite fearful of the idea that Scotland could "go it alone". Presumably there are a lot of traitors who would undermine the regime, in favour of their ties to British nobility. Didn't you see the movie "Braveheart"?
  15. UK parliament was hijacked by foreign interests. They are not working in the best interests of the people. The people spoke out in the referendum question on Brexit - The UK must leave the EU. God save the Queen.
  16. Well Johnson's first move is to shut down parliament. Ironically, it's the most democratic thing to do at this juncture. Hence reaction from the left.
  17. Let the virtue signallers fall on their swords.
  18. lmao

    Looks like they got along famously. Who knew?

      Just two bros having fun in France !   The other stiffs don't look nearly as happy.

  19. What I mean is, the two countries have arguably the same level of health care. We could compare with data etc., but for most western countries the models of delivery are closely studied and aligned. Talking about the cost to deliver the system is more important. Note my initial remark referred to taxes, this is the point. If we look at other expenses, military spending total and on a per capita basis, the US undoubtedly comes out number one.
  20. Many cities have bad roads in Canada, and despite the point we are all equally covered for health care, our system is so badly inefficient that many die due to neglect, their illness diagnosed too late or never at all treatment facilities are booked to the max and the wait for getting a procedure is designed to take you to the limit. You have to almost be dead first.
  21. Amazing how much more heavily taxed we are though, compared to the average in US. Maybe something is wrong up here...
  22. Ya mon, they got an app. Now go have some more screech, ya newf
  23. No it's about shades of things. You progressives have taken us to the brink of our own extermination. Look out there and see what we've done... now that is fucking progress.
  24. Yup it's all there. You just can't read what I didn't say.
