I'm sure you are, to those who are close to you in your life. And we around here think you're pretty special too. Take that any way you want it. lol

Clearly the healthcare system is a complete disgrace and shambles. Is rife with waste, corruption and fraud and needs to be totally dismantled. The administration dismissed, right up to the top Minister. That's not going to happen, but are we to be held prisoner by it now?

Agreed it's much preferable to have that choice and control over your final ending. However, and there' usually a however, I disagree when I hear things about people's health care being neglected, they are not given timely and appropriate care, and thus they decline more rapidly than they would have. Where people choose death because they cannot get timely care, is where I draw the line.

Usually wrong ain't that bad. Change yours to "the guy who starts every post with "Oh ffs" and is always wrong".

Why didn't we improve on things during the interim whem the mandates were halted up till now? Because it sounds to me like we're every bit as vulnerable to a big outbreak as before, complete with the issue of "overloading our health-care system". Hospitald were already loaded to 90% before covid came along, and that hadn't changed. Is this good enough for you people?

For hospital workers they are properly fitted and only worn during specific procedures. They're not intended for use all day long. They're not that important or useful in big open spaces either, esp. outdoors. The fact they eventually reduced the rules to "face covering", including knitted scarves with lots of holes, really tells you they knew it was useless and were just making up rules as we went along.

I think you meant to say that you and your deceased wife deserve something more than everyone else. That good and nice people should be exempt from dying and that god is to blame. And while I empathize with anyone who's gone through a tragic loss, you have it no different or worse than anyone else.

Never mind the fools and their noise. They will soon demand to devour Trump and drink his blood. Looking to the big picture, one thing it does is remove the presidential from legal immunity. The president is ripe for litigation attacks from all sides and from all parts of the world. This probably happens all the time and here they simply allowed it. Because Trump represents a different axis or channel of wealth and power than the mainstream group that is running things right now, and has been all along. In other words, it's back to the same ol' bulllshit my friend... Dangle a few carrots, start some wars in other lands, and we just sit back, and roll in the dough...

Rubbish. If there's a god, why should it manage your life? Are you a puppet on a string?

Am not looking for an argument, am looking for facts. I showed the doubters that it is possible for a child to get advice from schools and receive medical treatment for "Gender dysphoria" without parental awareness or consent. I also showed that education boards are well aware of it and publishing the information as a resource for educators to use. Yes the laws have been that way but were written for more serious medical problems where it's clear there is an ailment. It's debateable whether this is a valid medical prognosis or just a phase that uncertain minors are going through. But now that it's become a huge media thing, now that it's a hot topic being promoted by the federal government as though it's a social emergency, we need to be sure the bar is high enough that kids won't make the biggest mistake in their lives. These issues will go to the supreme court and liberals will lose. But the social damage they're inflicting will already be done.

You have to understand statistics to know what the problem is with these mrna treatments. I say treatments since the word vaccine doesn't directly apply. Besides, is the height of liberal arrogance and narcissism to believe that just because some drug worked for you and didn't harm you, it will be the same for absolutely everyone else. I personally know among all my family and friends several women who had menses interruptions. My coworkers fiance became extremely ill for months after the shot and diagnosed with a reaction to it. If you get stats, that's highly significant given the small number of people in this sample size.

Maybe that's why his wife left him. Even she can't stand it no more.

That's nice that you imagine, but backing up your claims would make for a more useful conversation. Like I did. Am not terribly interested in people's speculation and feelings.

I can point out how the two questions are not the same. Attempting to compare dissimilar concepts as though they're equal is a failing of liberalism. But even so, this is more like the school helping the child get an abortion, and not telling the parents anything about it.

Not if parents are not informed or involved in their child's welfare, no. You think the government and some school board does a better job caring for a child's unique needs than parents? Great. Once again happy to keep you people duly informed, Michael Hardner.

Keep laughing. Yuk it up. I mentioned prescription drugs in this thread because I know they are being used much more than surgery, and they're easier to get and hide from parents. Here's what it says on the Manitoba government education web site. "Youth under the age of majority (18) may be able to change their sex designation without parental consent. To do so, they must be declared a “mature minor” by a recognized health care professional and follow the same requirements as those outlined above. The mature minor doctrine states that, regardless of age, a child is capable of consenting (or refusing to consent) to treatment if he or she is able to appreciate the nature and purpose of the treatment and the consequences of giving or refusing consent. If the child has the requisite capacity, then the child’s consent is both necessary and sufficient; the parent’s consent is not required, nor can the parent override the child’s decision. https://www.edu.gov.mb.ca/k12/docs/support/transgender/legal.pdf

When you people stopped goose-stepping around on your boat deck

Article makes some interesting points by a doctor. Hundreds of trans teens under 18 have had breasts removed in Canada, new data show "What we do know is that regret does take place, and it does take place later on in life,” said one trans medicine specialist, who also agreed to speak on the condition of anonymity for fear of being labelled “transphobic.” “If we know that people can come to this realization that maybe this may have not been the best decision for them, if that takes place after five years or 10 years, we don’t have all the information to allow patients to make an informed decision.” For such a permanent decision as the removal of healthy breasts, “I’m always looking at the why, and because that hasn’t been answered yet, that’s what leads to my ambivalence,” the specialist said. “What all this says to me is that we need to be much more thoughtful in our approach and in our assessments.” Here's another part of the article I find disturbing. "The growth in referrals to specialized clinics could be due to greater awareness and social acceptance, and the teaching of gender identity in school, experts said. But it’s not clear why it’s concentrated in children and teens born female." We already know that a certain number of women have self-image issues related to being a woman in society. It could be these numbers reflect this, part of our failing to help young girls feel they are valuable and important members of society. This issue reinforces that type of gender dysphoria when they are vulnerable.

I agree his use of "chuds" is a derogatory term invented by leftists to dismiss those on the right as subhuman. The word used long ago was "untermensche".

The Iraq war is relevant for people who believe USA and west are always the good guys.

You're probably still in denial about the whole black-face thing, eh?

Yeah it's really sad. There will always be racism in any society, as a natural consequence of our perception, associating skin colour with certain cultural stereotypes. It is those stereotypes that need to be looked at and honestly addressed. When I see a young black man wearing certain clothes and a look, I get the stereotype. A product of ghetto mentality, that is, a place of crime and danger, despair with no hope for the future. But the underlying issue is poverty. It breeds the ignorance and everything else that follows, the need that brings crime, and gangs. But if I see a young black man who's well dressed and clean-cut, I don't have that problem. They're just a person to me. If I interview them for a job, they get the same consideration as anyone else. Doesn't mean I need to be especially nice to them because they are black, either. They could still be an a-hole just like anyone. If you're an a-hole, you don't get the job no matter what. If you don't know you're stuff, same thing. No special exception because of skin colour. That's absurd, it perpetuates racism itself. Just as the word "racialized person" does.

It is essentially saying you're a victim. By inventing this term, will keep the phrase 'racism' on our lips.
