Sorry, reality is not regressive, it's utter nonsense to suggest that this country isn't progressive enough, everyone has their own agenda, and at some point that's what this becomes, people want to be special, and to be treated as such, well lots of people have more serious problems than considering themselves some incredibly unlikely and in actuality probably a misunderstood version of what they actually are. The rest of us simply cannot be expected to have a full knowing or understanding of this and will not ever be able to completely accommodate whatever a tiny fraction of the population decides for themselves what everyone else must call them, it's childish, it's ridiculous. Compared to say the relatively large fraction of the population that suffers with significant depression who still must make their way in the world without much in the way of accommodation the concerns of someone who is a man that is bisexual but is becoming a woman, but still likes to wear mens clothing is a rather small thing for the other 99.99999% of us to be concerned about, as it should be. That's life, i'm not saying this to be mean, i don't envy people in that position, but at some point and that's now, it's become too much, go live your life, but don't expect the rest of us to make it work for you, expect to be able to be left alone to do what you like, but that's it.

i think that good or bad, Canada's identity has become so muddled that I really doubt there is enough nationalism among the population to see them really buy into a Trumpish leader, or even Kellie Lietch, who is trying to tap into similar feelings here. Overall that's a good thing imo, however that isn't to say that it's all good, and either by accident or design the country has and is being pushed further towards the no nation, no borders socialist ideal, too far imo, but that doesn't mean i would want a populist leader if populist means Trump or Trump like. Also with the major metropolitan areas controlling who runs the country it's pretty unlikely a populist, who would almost certainly have to be some form of conservative, would do well in all or most of those areas.

Consider it environmental equalization payments to the places you have been getting your oil from who have been carrying the risk for you. That's how a true environmentalist would think, either that or commit to stop using it altogether.

Gender is apparently a continuum, ok, so if that's the case it really isn't possible to quantify anything apart from identifying as the extremes, male or female, so lets forgo that and as gender we can all just be 'members of the continuum' that's a lot more reasonable than trying to quantify and satisfy the desires of anyone who wants to self identify as something in between male and female. But something tells me that won't satisfy some who seem to be mostly looking for attention or to simply stick to the 'normies' for being what 99.9% (probably more 9's because these things are fashionably exaggerated) of us are. Don't take that the wrong way because i honestly wouldn't care if i was a 'member of the continuum', but when people start demanding they can call themselves one of 30 something genders, which in itself is probably discriminating against those who somehow don't quite fit any of them (it's a continuum remember) and i have to respect and remember and be legally forced to comply that's something different. Be what you want, leave me out of it.

That performance today by Monsef makes Calandra look good, it was deplorable, an insult to all of us. The longer they are in power the more I feel I'm watching a high school student council run the country.

So there is no limit then, kill as many as you like so long as the ideology is one you prefer, thanks for the answer.

Honestly, up yours with the random comment deletion, you're terrible moderators.

Killed loits of people doing it, just curious, how many people is it ok to kill when enforcing your favored ideology, is there a precise number? Yea yea, Batista was bad, now answer my question, while you are at it, how long should homosexuals be jailed for in such a regime?

Its only your propensity for lying to cover for the liberals that allows you to pretend it hasnt already been done, the f35 is the best all around choice, it just is, there is no one from any part of this discussion that is claiming any of the other options are a better choice. Just from the point of view of integration with our biggest and nearesat ally, it wins. But, you couldnt give less of a damn about that, could you? Not to mention, it would take at most another year to run a competition, not 5, anyway, you go on and keep covering for those lies.

Has it been built yet? They approved two, one was a formality so doesn't count, and the other, we will see. Call me when they approve something difficult that doesnt run through a rain forest in perfect BC, like energy east. Of course as for the one they did approve, there is already a pipeline there! They just want to double it up, so the least controversial and easiest of the controversial pipelines, wow, so impressed.

Politics, they didnt do a lot of things because they were under the illusion that if they played nice they wouldnt get burned at the stake in the media on a weekly basis for doing the things that the liberals will and are also doing and getting away with. They betrayed us in that way, they should have killed the CBC and also, just bought the goddamn right airplane.

Here's a solution, no CBC. But then they wouldnt be able to provide all the free advertising for liberals, which is your biggest concern.

It's a model that is crumbling, look into it.

yea, and if he had to murder a few thousand of his own citizens, jail homosexuals, and frighten away tens of thousands of people, to make it work, why not, right liberal?

It's sad, it ignores the praising of China's dictatorship, it ignores the donations, it ignores his brother writing a love note to Castro, it ignores his fathers relationship not only with Castro but his writing, praising Chairman Mao, maybe the greatest mass murderer ever, but it's all they have. The things i have learned about this family since this ridiculous gaffe are really disgusting, no matter how desperately liberals want to defend it, defense of this is so stupid that they should simply be ignored, it is in fact indefensible. Praising Mao, like father like sons.

Yea, showing an admiration for murderous communist dictatorships with a body count of at least 50 million just isn't on the same level, what is wrong with you?

Here is another article talking about our PM's family link to communism, and while I have no reason to be a big fan of his father's it was also slightly before my time, this article however really does make it clear how large a sack of communist sympathizing dung he was, he even wrote a book about it. This runs in the family, it's not simply a coincidence, the donations, the admiration for China, the love of Castro. This family believes in communism. http://news.nationalpost.com/full-comment/terence-corcoran-why-justin-trudeau-shares-his-dads-love-of-murderous-communist-despots-like-castro

The Super Hornet is a good aircraft, now, but it's clear this move was meant as a way of avoiding buying the aircraft that would win an actual competition and it puts them in a position of having greater reason to buy more super hornets later. The idea that we need another 5 years to decide is a sick joke that no serious expert has agreed with. The work has already been done, another new competition would take a year at most.

Should have stopped there. They whole family has thing for communism, that much is clear.

Really? That's your response, what is wrong with you? Fyi, when a thread that is obviously ridiculous is allowed to stand for a long period of time and others are removed quickly, it's not because they didn't notice the first one, or that somebody complained in the five minutes after some of them were posted. The forum isn't that busy, there is tacit approval for some things and not for others, the reason for that, I don't know.

Copied from other thread, figured I would leave it here to since all of the apologists seem to be congregating in this one, btw, Harper was evil remember, Trudeau is 'good', were back don't forget, and Harper didn't gush over the Saudi king, not like this, this gushing also comes from a PM who has expressed his admiration for Chinese communism and who is friendly enough with Chinese businessmen that one of them made a huge donation to his fathers foundation, and then there is his brother. Alexandre Trudeau wrote this about the Cuban people ten years ago “They do occasionally complain, often as an adolescent might complain about a too strict and demanding father.” He also called him a "superman" and an "expert in everything" That's right, the Cuban people are whiners when they complained about living in poverty under an oppressive and murderous regime, and all of the Cubans who fled were actually just members of the alt-right (saw that one in the CBC comments). What is wrong with this family and the people who defend them, why do they seem to have an affinity for communist dictatorships and the murderers who run them? It's one thing to acknowledge a mans death, its quite another to gush over him and ignore that he was a communist, a murderer, and a man who had a part in almost starting a nuclear war. http://www.macleans.ca/news/trudeaus-turn-from-cool-to-laughing-stock/

It's unwise for him to open his mouth, ever. He isn't intelligent, maybe it's just the average and below that don't see it, plenty of them here.

Nah, too late, you're just as bad as Trudeau is and no more adept at covering for it.

No, that's not the question, it's an utterly ridiculous deflection, if Batista was still around until today and he had continued behaving the way he did would you also be ok with our PM eulogizing that brutal dictator? Of course not, and let me tell you why, some of you seem to have a sick fascination with communism, a romantic idea that because he was sticking it to the capitalists he was doing good work. He murdered people to maintain his ideology, what don't you get about that? Our PM eulogized a communist dictator, who like every other in history, murdered his own people to maintain a broken ideology, and you think there are hairs to be split? What is wrong with your world view that you think saying, 'but he wasn't Batista' makes our PM completely ignoring his crimes ok? Might as well have said, well, he wasn't Mao, or Hitler. Or as our embarassing leader said today, he improved education (he also killed a a lot of his own people who disagreed with him) and health care.
