You can always rely upon them to take the low road.

That is true, it isn't as much a lie as it is a collective psychosis. Im not allowed to say more than that.

Yawn, you came in to do what you do, meanwhile everyone complains about that guy from south of us, i can't see a single bit of difference between you and him. O and fyi, the liberals are also going to be "deciding other peoples lives for them", unless you actually believe there will be an assisted death free for all, which of course their won't be. Also, your question, Is it really personal for CPCers, is utterly stupid. Maybe try adding something real to the discussion next time instead of doing that thing you do.

Thanks for dropping by with your drive by insult, it really adds to a conversation that is both serious and personal to a lot of people. Including "CPCers".

We are all dying, if i know i have a disease that will kill me but i will have a normal or nearly normal quality of life for the next two years is it ok if a doctor kills me now? What if it's five years? I dont know how any of this can be done without crossing some pretty dubious ethical lines. At some point it does become a suicide service for people that aren't necessarily dying anytime soon, or that aren't going to be bed ridden attached to machines in the mean time, im glad im not responsible for writing these laws.

The vast majority or crashes don't occur at these speeds or attitudes, so unless your are some sort of expert on the subject (which perhaps you think you are) you don't have a lot of references to guide you. These aircraft are mostly empty space, and as best as i can tell a 757 were it made of only aluminum, could be crushed down into a cube that would fit on a small truck, around 4m3, of course it isn't just aluminum, but the vast majority of an anything recognizable as an aircraft will be obliterated at those speeds. There are lots of examples, you either can't understand this, or for whatever reason, refuse to. Now, try to imagine the mass of an aircraft, say weighing 100,00kgs, impacting a building at the same speed as a .45 caliber bullet, not even to mention the effects of the fuel after the impact. Now of course those two events are not directly comparable, but it should make it clear enough that most of us simply don't have a frame of reference for this kind of high energy impact. These are numbers that most people can't seem to understand, and because of that, they resort to things they think they understand. Like for example your constant reference to a missile impact, are you some sort of expert on that too? A few years ago the myth busters fired a ping pong ball into a ping pong paddle at 1100 mph, you should go watch that and then imagine what an object that weighs, assuming 100,000kg loaded, 37 million times more, travelling at about half the speed, would do to itself and a building. 3.5 billion joules vs 325. Plus you have to add the energy of combustion of the fuel, and the building, etc. Yes, again, the math isn't exactly correct for a variety of reasons, however the relative comparison is valid, also, lets not misunderstand, i know this will make no difference to you. fyi, a Tomahawk cruise missile detonation carries less energy than these jets did at impact, before the fuel burned.

Yes, there was a small, irrelevant to the environment, reduction in fuel usage in response to a HUGE increase in prices over a short time. These taxes won't have that effect, no one believes they will, they are just taxes. That of course isn't even to mention our nearly irrelevant contribution to the global problem, irrelevancies piled on irrelevancies, fractions of fractions, but hey it allows us to pat ourselves on the back, that's what matters most to (some) Canadians.

I dont know why you waste your time, you do the same things on every subject you whish to defend even if it is indefensible, your guys made promises, lied about the other guys, used the 'conservatives are mean', just look at that dead boy narrative, and they won an election, then failed to do what they promised to do in spite of being just simply better people, that's it, that's all. It was all BS, and you don't care, because they won. So high minded. At least it would be honest if you just admitted it instead of deflecting away from what is obviously true, it would be a breath of fresh air.

O look a business that wants to make money! If they were to follow your demands that would be impossible, which means they wouldn't build it....wait a minute!

We were talking about ruptured pipelines, not your hobby horse, and of course if we are going to look at the entire industry we would also have to consider the positives it has given us. But i don't think that this is possible for you.

Well that's nice, but lets just make it clear for the folks at home, they didnt do what they said they could do, while they vilified the other guys for not doing it as fast as they said they could, while everyone knew they couldnt, and ultimately didnt, while using the unfortunate drowning of one child, something that had nothing to do with us, to political advantage. An incredibly scummy thing to do. But, having no apearent principles of your own, you don't care about those facts and are content to deflect away from the truth, of course you aren't alone.

The argument, as you are no doubt well aware, is that the new taxes will not affect climate change and therefore should not exist, unless of course the reason for them is a lie, which we all know it is, but go ahead, keep playing your little games.

The collective damage caused by hydro dams is without doubt, many, many times greater than what has been caused by ruptured pipelines. It's not even close.

Alright then

Well, 9/11 truthers might believe that, but Kevin Page doesn't seem to, and i dont recall him being a Harper fanboy. http://www.cbc.ca/radio/thehouse/preston-manning-s-prescription-to-recharge-the-right-1.3463742/liberal-fiscal-plans-less-transparent-than-under-harper-kevin-page-says-1.3464078

Here is a suggestion for the moderators, 9/11 truther threads or others like it should be pinned to the top of maybe every section of the forum so that we can all be reminded about the kind of people we are conversing with when not talking about utterly ridiculous conspiracy theories. It would be helpful to be reminded of how little real world credibility some of these people have, or better yet, add a non removal tag to their user name so that ever time they post a warning that says 9/11 truther, etc, pops up, it will be easier to ignore them for all of their opinions, and not just the most ridiculous of them.

The answer to that is self evident.

yea, that's a reasonable argument for people who haven't completely lost their minds. Unfortunately the target audience is growing smaller each day.

She isn't a serious person, her press gallery dinner speech proved that, she should simply be ignored. How many people have been killed in oil train accidents, how many in oil pipeline accidents?

It's at least as valid as ignoring the facts on one substance simply because we already have something worse to worry about.

It's harmless and cures everything, so i can't consider the source to be truthful.

Meh, liberals.

I don't much care about a deficit, the conservatives would have been in the same position had they won again, and yes they borrowed a pile of money during the recession, and we could pretend that they weren't forced to borrow more than they wanted, or risk an election, and we could pretend they spent all of it wisely, which they didn't. But this government, and im sure people here were parroting this, was supposed to be better than the conservatives, yet somehow they didn't see any of this coming, and we know that isn't true, but when trying to get elected all bets are off. Also, when you are spending money to impress your friends in the international bureaucracy, or promising pie in the sky inquiries that will accomplish nothing but cost lots, or any other number of boutique spending promises, (no doubt the CBC will get it's 150 million too), you also aren't spending it wisely. Maybe nicely, which is really what liberals are all about, but not wisely. But, it's 2016 right? When does bombardier get it's money i wonder, at least people work there. So borrow 50 billion, borrow 100 billion, build real things, create actual jobs, not pretend, because we should be leaders in some such make believe industry things, or on some cause that we have no real influence over thing, or because it's the Canadian thing to do bs. But as many are fond of repeating, they are no different than the conservatives were, they will spend some of it on things we don't need, it will just be their choice of useless thing, at a time when a greater number of real people have lost their job and can't make their house payment we need spending on quality projects, and not fantasies. But then again, and speaking of Bombardier, they could have allowed jet flights out of Toronto Island airport and Porter would have bought some planes and that would have created jobs in Toronto and Quebec, but, votes trump the economy, no doubt their spending policies will be as equally altruistic.
