Natural gas should be a public resource again
cougar replied to Griswold's topic in Provincial Politics in Canada
The economy is unlikely to get a boost, let alone from the use of natural gas. You see that economic boost is harmful to the environment , hence harmful to the survival of life on Earth. I think capitalism is f*d. -
BC NDP are going to give FNs a veto over land use in BC

What difference does it make that they are only 5% ???? The Canadian Government can bring even more immigrants to wash this down to 1% or 0.5% and it still makes no difference. If something is yours , it is yours, regardless how many people want to make use of it or take it from under your feet -
Here you go, the name was Marco Muzzo https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/marco-muzzo-drunk-driver-who-killed-3-children-and-grandfather-granted-full-parole-1.5301289

Even after they kill someone, depending on who they are, they can continue doing what they have been doing. There was a young rich guy in Ontario who I think wiped out a family - two grandparents and a kid or two. He went to jail but from what I know has been released before serving more than 3 years. Can't remember the name - think it sounded Italian but I may be wrong.

Liberal government destroyed the Crown
cougar replied to blackbird's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
You are suggesting the conservatives were going to let no immigrants in? Or just lower numbers , which would still be very inflated numbers compared to pre 2000 ? Makes no difference who you vote in. Makes no sense to vote at all. -

I blame them and have been doing so for almost 20 years, but they do not care. You ,me, the average Canadian can blame them all we want in what is supposedly a democracy. Makes zero difference. -

Whoever said that was right. You have refugees and regular immigrants that will be a drain to the economy and then you have the business class that drive real estate prices up. You even had foreigners not living in Canada or having Canadian status driving prices up. What are you surprised at??? -
Liberal government destroyed the Crown
cougar replied to blackbird's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
If you were here all of your life and your parents were here before you and managed to create some wealth and managed to buy some property back in the day, you may now retire and live the life. However a big percentage of Canada's population would be newcomers to Canada with 10 years or less in the country. I have 20 and haven't prospered all that much either. A newcomer is generally sold a small piece of s*t at a premium price and they line up to pay for it. If not enough are in the line, they start bringing in the refugees, temporary workers and students. -

I see, more snowflakes and maple leaves. What about that lion? Shouldn't it be replaced by a cougar, or at least a bear, moose, beaver, whatever...something more Canadian? And how about our f-ing multiculturlizm? Shouldn't our emblem incorporate elements from all cultures ?? A few Chinese letters, some Punjabi text, a camel etc? How about the First Nations? Shouldn't we see indigenous art on the crown? But does it need to be a crown at all? Let's replace with a canoe, or an Eskimo tent of a homeless Canadian! -
Clueless Canadian politics and the climate change
cougar replied to myata's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
OK, so now we came to this 1 mil/year population growth as a factor, or rather a driving force behind the need for nuclear power. Now let me ask you this. What exactly do you personally gain from the 1 mil of Asians added to the Canadian population every year? I gain nothing! My quality of life goes down by the minute! Send them back and put the nuclear plants in their countries! But when they were back there they did not need all this power! You see how dumb we are now????? -
Clueless Canadian politics and the climate change
cougar replied to myata's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Your point is unclear. First we need to determine if we need more energy or less. If we want to have more, we have to know what is the driving force behind the increase. Then if the increase is sustainable. I for sure do not need a nuclear plant just so we can have our population go up to 300 million, or so we can frack to get more LNG to ship to Asia, even if you agreed to put it in your back yard! -

Clueless Canadian politics and the climate change
cougar replied to myata's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Your take is wrong on many levels. If it is our choice to bring a million low carbon emitting migrants every year to turn them into high carbon emitters, then we have to do it at no additional harm to the planet. No way? Then don't bring them here! -

Nuclear power ? Another terrible choice. "Screw them" ? We will be screwed as well at the end. It is one planet. -

It is not stupidity; it is the inherent need for growth of a system based on greed and endless expansion. You would need to change the system before any meaningful gains could be made, but this also seems impossible, because countries around the world are still using this same system as a model. As for the "mental illness", it has been fostered by the system over generations and this is the result. -
Makes no difference to anyone. Those who invoked the emergency act and froze bank accounts are not going to be arrested, dragged through the mud or fined. This is all some political posturing to show others the government upholds the law and that we have a democracy when we all know this is not the case.

How many? If people lived ecologically minded lives in places where they belong - the answer would be ZERO. Now bring one million Hindu to the Arctic and you can make a case for more fossil fuel extraction. Where they came from, they were running barefoot in the mud with or without a shirt on, some rode a bicycle but most walked. They did not need heating in the winter, or was it called the rainy season there? Yeah, we've been building one scam upon another, but it will catch up with us (read them).
