That's the best part....many Canadians worry more about a "PM" they can't even vote for.
You don't need to worry so much. Not to the point of bringing it up in every conversation. That's bordering on obsessive.

Trump conceded Syria to those guys a week before the first gas attack. That was a long time ago. If you don’t recall, Syria was a flaming wreck with starving people everywhere. Ousting Assad was an Obama priority but his pillow-fighting technique wasn’t even working against Islamic State. He had a several year plan that was just falling further behind every day. Trump thrashed ISIS. They shrunk down to small pockets with a few months of him taking over.
If you’re the least bit familiar with the Sun Tzu, you’d know that the cost of foreign war is and always has been staggering. Iran doesn’t have to worry though, they still have the $150 billion that Obama gave them (speaking about being in somebody’s pocket). The US will eventually shut down regardless of border wall funding if they’re constantly in a state of war.
Leaving Syria at this stage isn’t foolish. Trump’s stated goal was the destruction of isis. Dragging this out for a few more years is a waste of money. He’s not crazy for doing it lol.
He did it under orders. #pisstape

<Why ? Can't Trudeau / Canada handle it ?>
Is there no topic on this forum that you haven't brought up your PM? Don't worry. You can vote for him again next year lol

She's facing a confidence vote within her own party as to whether she can remain as leader. That has nothing to do with the number of seats they have in Parliament. But it shows how PMs in the parliamentary system are also accountable to their parties. There are no kings.

Tell that to Theresa May this morning.

Not really. A prime minister with a large majority is like a king. No pesky house and senate to deal with, no filibusters, no 60 vote margins needed to pass legislation.
There's a house. There's even a Senate. They still must be dealt with, even with a large majority.

I like how the Trump strategy is to make up BS that he has been cleared of wrongdoing on the assumption that his supporters (see above) will just accept what he tells them to believe, no matter how far removed from reality it is.

I like your new hat. It shows how closely the anti-Trudeau wingnuts are with Trump supporters and how they are all really of the same movement. It will help marginalize the CPC and ensure an even bigger majority lol
But resorting once again to character assassination with bad joke tweets just because you disagree with someone gets really tiresome. You should try harder to find common ground with people. You'd probably be a lot happier

I suppose if there were an Internet in Nazi Germany, there would have been threads like this one about Jews. Disgusting the efforts people go to to demonize their neighbours.

That money is just part of the money already pledged at G7 last year, not anything new. But you're against pipelines now? Welcome aboard! I agree the pipeline is just another nail in our coffin and very irresponsible. I just don't see the CPC ever stopping that one

Hillary? You mean that lady who ran for president but lost, even though she got more votes? Why are you still talking about her?

It is all "just" chemistry, but doesn't the undeniable existence of that psyche in your skull give you a sense of more than just chemistry?
-
You don't see love? I see it everywhere. I think your concept of love is probably actually similar to mine, as is your concept of your own psyche, which exists on a natural (or what you might mistakenly call supernatural), separate plane from the rest of our physical existence.
And maybe our conceptions of what I call God and you call the Big Bang are not that different, once we dig deeper. Both are concepts of a mysterious force that is difficult for us to imagine.

Basic disagreement. God is not proven by the existence of creation. Creation is real. God is a figment of the imagination of people who needed something to explain the unexplainable about creation, before they figured out science. Things used to hit the ground because God said so. Now we know it's gravity. Given time and the forebearance of nature, we will know all the answers. And then God, as a human construct, can retire.
Let's not get into pantomime. Not much point in continuing this argument.
God is a word that describes the force that created the universe. The true nature of this force may be beyond our ken, but it is linked to our psyche and our capacity to generate love (ergo, we are created in His image).

God is fiction, so God is natural. Okay.
That was my original comment in reply to you, differently put.
No, God is the force of creation and that can be proven by the existence of creation.

So you were just being a hypocrite by saying there is no supernatural, then saying that a supernatural Jesus exists.
Typical Christian two faced hypocrisy.
Thanks for showing how that hypocrisy expresses itself.

You're saying love doesn't exist? It does and I can prove it

No, that's wrong. The brain differentiates a skull from a rock, and its chemistry makes it capable of love. And hate and indifference.
Jesus really doesn't enter into it. Any more, really, than Harry Potter and the Hobbits, Jason Bourne or Hari Seldon.
Semantics. Jesus is love and love exists, so therefore Jesus exists. You can call it something else, but it's all the same thing.

Fiction is conceived in the human mind, which is perfectly natural invention. God is the force that created the universe. There's nothing supernatural about the existence of the universe. Again, nothing could be more natural.

Of course there's a God. The evidence of that is in your very psyche. What differentiates your skull from a rock? The concept of God does. What makes your skull capable of love? That's Jesus.

That's how I took the OP too.

Religions aren't based on anything supernatural. Everything is natural. That's what it's all about: the nature of our being.

There has always been differences in provincial legislation. Do you have something against communities deciding for themselves what they want rather than be dictated to by the federal government?
Are humans really responsible for climate change?

So no amount of data could convince you because you misinterpreted earlier "fads" as science and are now unwilling to believe anything ever again?
