The Prime Minister is elected, not appointed or born with the power of an anointed monarch. Normally PMs don't have as much power over our government as a potus does over the US, but Trudea really has his MPs lined up to suck the power teat. In the States a 3rd term is looked on as a big no-no. A serious grasp for too much power. It would be troubling of Obama or Trump went for a third term.

Why would someone need to read the article? Here's the title/link you posted: A leading Holocaust historian just seriously compared the US to Nazi Germany. It's perfectly fine for someone to see that title and disregard it as drivel. Stupid comparisons between Trump and Hitler are made all the time, especially by people here. It's a mistake to read that stuff, quote it, give the author credit for his brilliant insights, etc. It's leftist drivel. And stop with the sandbox insults already reefer.

If the queen had as much power over our every day lives and foreign policy as the US President does then your point would make sense. She has less influence than Oprah. Oprah has no term limits either.

To be honest, if you read your own words, you're talking about Canadian Liberals and American Democrats. If it wasn't for lies and unsophisticated platitudes they'd be silent. In the States their platform is impeach 45, Russian collusion, Trump is a liar, Kavanaugh and the Republicans are rapists, open borders, no id requirement for voters, white privilege is rampant, free health care, free post-secondary, institutionalized racism, etc. There's nothing sensible at all in there, it's pure emotion based on lies or fantasies. In Canada we get the same pathetic virtue signalling, and the last election was won by the Liberals on the strength of the Duffygate smear campaign, which was probably where the Demmies got the idea for the Russian colluison investigation.

C’mon b_c, making claims that you know to be false is beneath you. You spent so much time arguing with liberals you are acting like one now. You know that the queen is just a figurehead with no say whatsoever in Canadian politics or foreign affairs. The day she becomes controversial is the day her pictures come down.

Some more interesting info about the baseless allegations of Blasey Ford.

I started to read it, got to the first lie and stopped there: Re-negotiating deals isn’t the same as withdrawing. Withdrawing from the Paris Climate Accord was just something that a sane person would do. The thing is a farce.

This is another example of you making an unsubstantiated accusation. Do ypu have proof that Trump is trying for a third term?

I have to give Trudeau credit for one thing: he was smart enough to use public money to pay our national broadcaster to be forever in his pocket.

Who is being oppressed d? Proof. Links. Do you even know what an illiberal regime really looks like? Can women in the US be raped with impunity or put in jail for wearing/refusing to wear the right headdress? (I should say, can anyone aside from Bill Clinton and his cronies whom you support rape with impunity). Is any legal American suffering some kind of rights abuses? You need to make a strong case to back such a strong accusation d. As usual, you don’t. You slide in, throw around baseless accusations and insults, and then slide on out when you’re asked to prove anything that you said.

Boom! I’m seriously laughing my ass off.

So ironic that you say “serious allegations” and then call other people “useful idiots”. You let yourself get led around by the nose by people who you know are lying to you, you couldn’t actually be any more useful to them or any more....... The actual evidence has been discussed here ad nauseum and the Democrat side even acknowledges that they don’t have any. They moved their attacks from “actual crimes” to “lacking judicial temperament (when his reputation is slandered)”. Reefermadness - you support a system where any unsubstantiated accusation is instantly credible enough to derail a man’s life and career, and force an entire country to be deprived of getting the most qualified person on earth into one of it’s most critical roles. What kind of country can survive as an anti-meritocracy? Should a pothead get that job reefermadness? Is that what you’re spoiling for? Should a major US party really be encouraging activists to commit crimes against their opponents? They already got 1 man shot and another assaulted. Republicans are seriously harassed on a daily basis just for doing their jobs and you’re right in line with that sleezy crew, down in the gutter. If you come into wisdom one say, you’ll look back on these days and wonder how you got duped into supporting the party of actual racism and misogyny.

Bork tried to stay calm and classy and he failed. Kavanaugh needed to show emotion, and to be unafraid to tell the truth. This is a totally partisn hit-job and everyone knows it, including you Argus. Democrats nominated a woman beater two months ago and they haven’t said a bad word about Clinton despite mounds of evidence and accusations from several of his own employees. If you think this was a “rape allegation” issue then you’ve been completely duped.

SCJs do not have to answer questions about how they would rule on specific cases. End of story.

Posers. Yay.

She tried to use it as a reason why she wouldn't get on a flight to Washington. Apparently it comes and goes. BS. And try to make a post with childish insults for once. It's incredibly pathetic.

What good reason do you have for assuming that it's a bad report? There is ample evidence that Ford wasn't afraid of flying, and she should have known that they offered to come to her for her testimony (everyone else in NA knew, and her lawyers certainly did and it was their JOB to tell her), she wasnt claustrophobic, she didn't need to always be in a building with two doors, and as a psychiatrist she definitely would have known more about polygraphs than she let on. All of her lies are about key points in her testimony. Did she even have PTSD? Nope. You say Kavanaugh drank more than he let on when he was in college. If he's exaggerating about a detail that's barely related (lots of people got wasted all the time and never raped anybody) it's not in the same category.

The FBI investigation isn't interested in whether or not Kavanaugh understated his college drinking at the confirmation hearings Don Jonas. How much he drank on occasion in college is neither here nor there regarding the allegation of attempted rape when he was in high school. That's just basic common sense. (And fyi if he got really drunk a few times over the course of 7 or so years of college that's not a big deal). The investigation is into whether or not there is a shred of proof that he attempted to rape her. This is a he said, she said until the FBI finds evidence or someone to corroborate her story. She named witnesses. They didn't corroborate her story. Key people in her life for decades never corroborated this story. Details that she gave about her PTSD were proven to be false (easy enough to prove that se lived in a 500 sq ft apartment with one door, in contradiction to her testimony that she couldn't go into a place like that). She said she had a fear of flying but she flies all the time. Is she a serial liar? These aren't little white lies either, they are key details regarding a serious accusation with massive repercussions. The fact that she's telling big lies is extremely damaging to her he said she said case. How strong do you honestly think this case is based on the main elements that the FBI has to investigate? Did you expect the FBI to perform a miracle? Were they supposed to somehow find some actual evidence without a clue as to where or when they should even look? Her story was ultra-weak to begin with and all of her witnesses claim to not be witnesses. And the burden of proof actually lies with the accuser. Where's the proof of this Don Jonas? Aside from her sob story and proven lies?

Good point. People who really want to lower the boom on Kavanaugh based on such a seemingly bogus case are doing a disservice to women who have serious allegations and want to come forward. The Dems are pushing this like it's a big thing and it's just Russian Collusion ver 2.0. It's a fine example of making the accused look like the actual victim, and that's not good for female accusers. Even the fact that Dr Ford wanted to stay anonymous, and then had her story leaked is a really scary thing for a woman. If a high-ranking Democrat Senator will leak your story against your wishes then what will an average, every day District Attorney or Crown Prosecutor do if you're just talking to them about evidence and still thinking about whether or not to proceed with charges? A lot of women have good reason to really fear their attacker. They might want to have their evidence heard and then get an opinion on whether or not some brutal rapist will actually get locked up. If they find out it's 50/50, or 40/60 they might want to back down, because what woman wants to piss a guy off by charging him with a felony just to walk out the courthouse door at the exact same time as her freshly-acquitted attacker? To be honest, once a person is found innocent they last thing they probably don't want to do is rock the boat, but it would still cause a woman a lot of sleepless nights knowing that he's free, he's violent, and now he has a serious vendetta. They might never even report their crime if they're worried that it's going to be leaked. Everyone should have the same goal in mind, and that's every actual victim having the courage to come forward and have their evidence presented resulting in a conviction, and every falsely accused defendant get acquitted. Going along party lines, or by gender, is repulsive.

Is the Keith Ellison accusation decades old? Or is it roughly 1 month old. His election hasn't even come up yet. There's far more evidence against him being a woman-beater than there is about Kavanaugh being a rapist, but Democrats gave him the nomination for Attorney General anyways. How's that for hypocrisy? Look at every comment Schiff ever made re: Russian collusion. He wasn't just guessing and getting it 100% wrong every time, he was lying. Do any Democrats ever say "dial it down"? Look at the stupid comments by the Hawaiian Senator Hirono or whatever - "All accusers have to be believed!" But they don't believe anyone who was raped by Bill or beaten up by Ellison. Where's your proof that Trump is racist? I've never seen an accuser provide any evidence of that yet. Trump had sex with grown women who were in a position to do whatever they wanted, they were independently well-off. They weren't employees like Bill's actual rape victims were. He didn't beat them up like Ellison did. So he got NDAs signed, he cheated on his wife. It's a morality issue, not criminality. But how many men do you know that wouldn't sleep with either of those two women, given the chance? Can you name a material fact that Trump lied about as President? Once again, your post is full of "inaccuracies" and baseless accusations. You call Republicans liars and hypocrites for standing behind people who haven't committed crimes and you stand behind Democrats who are serial liars and criminals. Then you insult everyone else lol.

You know as well as I do that she covered for Bill for 20 years, and she publicly blasted his accusers, so stop chucking around childish insults.

Hillary is the poster girl for female misogyny. Meryl Streep is just a runner-up for once.

The whitehouse limited the investigation to claims that were currently on the books because that’s enough to do an investigation on, and because they’re aware of the fact that Democrats don’t really care about a girl who might have suffered through an attempted rape in the early 80’s. They’ll keep bringing baseless allegations just to keep the investigation going. Anyone who’s being honest knows that the Dems just want to delay this appointment in the hopes of getting to the Mid-Terms before Trump can appoint a SCJ.

The “details” are never insignificant when something happens that’s significant enough to trigger ptsd. On the car ride home, was she feeling shame or fear or loathing and was she wondering who she could tell or what they would think/do? If she walked home, traumatized, that would be another thing she would remember. Was there someone with her that made her feel safe or was she running and hiding in fear? When she ran to the bathroom didn’t they run after her? Did they say things through the door? Did she stay in there for a really long time thinking they might still be outside? Did she tell her best friend, or if she didn’t why not? The need to talk to someone about it would have been huge. If she didn’t talk about it then the internal pressure to get it off her chest would have been enormous. She would also feel like she needed to tell her friends to help keep them safe. Despite all that she told no one, and didn’t think about it enough to remember much of it. But let’s be real, these aren’t things that she would forget anyways. Dan you’re saying that he should admit to something that, according to every shred of evidence that’s in, never happened. It’s something that would destroy his reputation and cost him a job that he worked all his life for. Is that even a real thing? To make a false confession just because it’s easier than telling the truth, while knowing that it costs you everything? You assume he lied multiple times because that’s what CNN said, but you should know by now that CNN has no relationship with the truth whatsoever. If you pay close attention you can see that they are always spinning stories all the time, when they’re not telling outright lies or ignoring pertinent details because “they don’t fit our narrative.” THEY EVEN LIE AND SPIN THE TRUTH ABOUT THE DAMN WEATHER! Anderson Cooper stands in the ditch to make a foot of flood water seem like 4 feet. Then they say that America needs to stop burning coal because of global warming.... What I just said is 100% true and easily verifiable if you would like me to show you links. So now YOU KNOW they are liars. Have you ever heard the saying “Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me?” How many times will you let CNN dupe you before you ditch them? Donna Brazile was working for CNN when she gave debate questions to Hillary. Their own Van Jones was caught on hidden video saying that Trump-Russia collusion is just a big nothingburger about a year ago but on camera it’s still very real baby. They know that Obama’s government locked kids apart from their families but they still say “Trump’s policy of separating kids from their families”. CNN kicked off their coverage of the Michael Brown shooting by saying that a policeman just drove up and shot him from inside his car while he was doing nothing, in front of “hundreds of witnesses”. Then they said that it was irresponsible to show video of MB committing a violent robbery moments earlier. Then when the truth came out about the whole story CNN kept plugging the story along as if it happened just the way that they initially reported it. CNN blames the pulse nigt club shooting on guns and the NRA, but AK47’s are illegal and alah_ _____ isn’t an NRA slogan. Honestly quoting CNN is a non-starter for any reasonable conversation.

He has hundreds of character witnesses speaking about his integrity, demeanour, lifestyle, class, professionalism, etc. One guy said he threw some ice at someone when he was in college. A girl said the she went to a bunch of gang rape parties where he featured prominently but zero people backed her claim, and that’s a claim that requires some backing, so can we agree to throw that one in the loony bin? So aside from the Ford case, there’s not much that you can really stack up against all that Kavanaugh has going for him, right? Re:the Ford case, he got mad when US Senators got within inches of destroying his family, career, and reputation with an attempted rape allegation, although his accuser can’t name a year or location, doesn’t who she was there with, how she got there, how she got home and she named 4 witnesses who say they don’t remember the attempted rape. 1) That’s not a “case” it falls directly into the category of “baseless allegation”, do you agree? Wouldnt you be frustratedif you were in his shoes? There are dozens of US SENATORS acting like there’s enough evidence here to call him a monster, but there’s actually close to ZERO evidence. Just a sob story from a woman who lied about her fear of flying, claustrophobia, ptsd, knowledge of polygraphs, etc. Even her back-story has fallen apart, with lifelong friends and boyfriends directly countering key elements of her “testimony” but 49 US Senators still cry wolf. In any real courtroom in any civilized country in the world Dr Ford doesn’t even get a hearing but because Kavanaugh doesn’t rhyme with Clinton every single Democrat Senator, and every legal expert appearing on CNN, MSNBC etc is dumping garbage on his reputation, and they are all instantly giving 100% credibility to anyone at all who slanders Kavanaugh’s name. 2) Am I right? I specifically asked two questions there. I’d be really appreciative of an honest answer to them.
