Thank God for Blanchet. He's the only thing standing in the way of a Libt4rd majority.

https://www.antarcticajournal.com/antarctic-ice-sheet-mass-gains-greater-than-losses/ A new NASA study on the Antarctic Ice Sheet says that an increase in Antarctic snow accumulation that began 10,000 years ago is currently adding enough ice to the continent to outweigh the increased losses from its thinning glaciers. The research challenges the conclusions of other studies, including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) 2013 report, which says that Antarctica is overall losing land ice. According to the new analysis of satellite data, the Antarctic Ice Sheet showed a net gain of 112 billion tons of ice a year from 1992 to present. That net gain slowed to 82 billion tons of ice per year between 2003 and 2008. That's from Nov 2023, so it's almost a year and a half old, but where I grew up more means more.

That is 100% a lie. Carney may or may not have said that, but it's beside the point: Carney absolutely said, in no uncertain terms, that Trump DID NOT bring up the topic of Canada becoming the 51st state during their March 28th phone call. The absolute fact of the matter is that Trump DID bring up the topic of Canada becoming the 51st state during their March 28th phone call Saying the exact opposite of the truth is called a lie. It wasn't a mere exaggeration (still a lie) or minimization (still a lie) or a minor omission (still a lie), he told one of the biggest lies of all, which is just the exact opposite of what he knows to be true. The only worse lie is a slander, and he already did that to the Globe and Mail. The fact that he lied might not be a big deal to you, Adam Schiff, and Mark Carney, but some people care about those kinds of lies. It's nothing like "It didn't rain during my 17-minute inauguration speech"... "Yes it did: 17 droplets fell between the 13:01 mark and 13:10." It was a huge lie about an extremely important subject, an he said it directly to all Canadians, right at the debate. Now what you have to do is temper every declarative statement that he ever makes again with a huge question mark. Because he also lied about meeting JCC, helping Martin balance the budget back while he was in college lol, lied about meeting with the JCCC, and lied by a gross exaggeration about the size and scope of his role in averting the '08 recession. The credit that carney was trying to take belongs with the PM (Harper), the Finance Minister (Flaherty), and most notably from Carey's POV, this guy: In actuality, there are historical reasons for Canada’s lack of vulnerability to such financial upsets, including a divergent institutional pathway and regulatory changes recommended by Canadian Supreme Court Judge Willard Estey that safeguarded Canada’s banking system from the financial crisis So, for example, when Carney says that he told Trump to pound sand, that might be a complete falsehood. Maybe he said: "What's it worth to you?" You have to admit there's a very real possibility that he did that. He hasn't lived in Canada for ten years, he could easily live out the rest of his days in Bermuda or the Caymans, where he hides all of his money to avoid paying taxes on it. Right now you should have zero trust for Carney. None. He's actually a serial liar. He's only been in the public eye for a few months here and he's already become famous for saying a lot of important things that are the exact opposite of the truth.

Class, class, class...

My hope for Canada is that the CPC do better than expected in Ontario, the Bloc get back up to 40 seats, and the NDP siphon more votes away from the Chinese than expected. Even a small majority gov't will be great for the country. I don't want to see Poilievre have to deal with slimy Libs, Greens, BQ or NDP to get things done. It would basically be a Lib gov't all over again.

It always "tightens up" in the last few days of the campaign. The LPOC lead was never 11%. like we've been saying all along, the "huge LPOC lead in the polls" is just advertising for Mark Carney. It basically says "A large portion of Canadians see exactly what we see in Mr Dreamy and Mr Hateful." End of the day the CPC win the popular vote, but by a lot less that they would have if the news and polling were legitimate.

How long before Carney re-ups the Carbon tax? June 1st?

338 has the Libs at 43 and the CPC at 39, so my prediction is conservatives 42.5%, Liberal Party of China 39.5%, but still a minority gov't for the Chinese.

Antarctic sea ice is expanding, dingus, and has been since they started measuring it in 1979. Sorry to burst your id10tic little bubble.

You're a horrible, dark, sick little man, eyeball. Just the other day you were here wishing death on people ffs. Are you trapped in a cell somewhere, pulling the wings off of flies? You actually need help.

Their various issues are actually written right on their cultist membership cards. These elbows-up guys, aka the paint chip patriots, all have at least one thing in common... Low IQ's.

^Look at inEstiNe talking about reasonable, intelligent discussion. 🤣 And as if that wasn't enough, the illiterate twerp actually said "(and intelligible)", then followed it up with this balderdash: You already know the truth, all of and final of it and the only problem is what others don't see or wouldn't accept it. It's like English is your second language but you learned it from reading napkins. Honestly, your posts should have to be in the Crayola font from now on, so that people don't waste 1.3 seconds figuring out what an id10t you are.

Oh, would you look at that... The cowardly little twit came back but still can't answer the basic questions about his hate speech, which still remains unsupported by a single fact. Where's the vandalism, dingus, aside from on some Teslas, by left4rds? Where's the rage and vitriol? Who has said or done anything beyond the pale from this side of the aisle? What personal attacks are you referencing, stupid child? And FYI you're not supposed to use the underline feature to disguise your id10tic comments as hotlinks to websites which support your bogus claims. You can bold, italicize, or change size or colour for emphasis, but don't pretend to have a cite, which is something that left4rds just never have. Bottom line, your snotty little invective is 100% unsupported by even the attempt of a supporting fact. All that you have here so far is hate speech. Grow up. Man up. Tell the truth for once you slithering loser.

Aren't you the guy who posts the snot pictures? FYI no one's trying to impress you: near as I can tell you're a low-IQ, gr-7 stoner.

IF they lose I'll register as a Republican. Vive la 51!

It was interesting to see all the CBC commentators trying to explain why that most recent Carney lie shouldn't matter to voters, when what they really meant was "I wanna keep my job." They're such vile filth.

Shut up, 1diot.

Objectively, CBC sat on that story and pushed that narrative themselves, I'm just shocked that they let the cat out of the bag before the election. Like I said earlier, it must have been coming out in a leak or they never would have let the truth out.

Translation: "DAMMIT! Why didn't he use guns instead of a car???? This would have been the PERFECT time for a terrorist attack by a white supremacist Mexican like Zimmerman, or imaginary MAGAs outside of a Subway restaurant, or an imaginary Chinese-Canadian white supremacist hijab attack in Toronto. Where's that Trudeau photographer who wore the confederate flag jacket? Save us confederate boy!!!!!"

Hmmmm. Kinda like the desperate holdouts from the Russian collusion farce. I wonder who that could beave...

It wasn't a white guy, right? So stories about his FB from 13 years ago weren't included in the story.

One more thing about this, which I'm sure you're not aware of, is that our long-term memories are formed by the emotionally charged events in our lives, which means that it's imperative for your news org to quickly attach their narratives to the most emotional stories you see, corrections to come later, when they're no longer important. That's why an attack can often be instantly understood to have been "CONDUCTED BY ALT-RIGHT, WHITE SUPREMACIST RACISTS!!!!!", based on a 13-yr old FB post, but no one who ever committed a recent mass-casualty atrocity recently has ever had a manifesto or any unseemly FB posts, according to the Dems and the groups that they control. A guy can yell praises to allah while killing gays and then accredit his killings to islamic state while talking to police, and CNN and CBC willcontinue to distance the attack from islamic terrorism for as long as humanly possibly (lone wolf attack by a crazy with GUNZ), while shrieking "THIS IS A GUN-CONTROL ISSUE AND NOTHING ELSE!" Honest to God, they even tried to turn the NYC van attack by muslims into a gun-control issue. CNN: "Lie, lie, lie while emotions are high, quiet/calm corrections can come later." When people find out conclusively that it was in fact an islamic terrorist attack two weeks later, that doesn't change things for them, because the association with "gun control" was made upon initial discovery, and that answer will always stick with them. Most people won't even remember it as 'the thing they learned about 2 weeks later'. I'm sure that when you scan your memory banks for "Pulse nightclub attack", your strongest association is "gun control". The Charlottesville attack featured an out-of-town driver, in car that ended up in an alley surrounded by rioters, which was attacked by a man with a bat before it sped off. If that was an antifa car that was attacked before it sped off, or a BLM car with a black girl in it that sped off, all that you ever saw would have been video of the guy hitting the car with the bat, along with the cry "This car crash was caused by a racist with a bat hitting her car!!!", but CNN et al ignored the fact that someone hit the car with a bat, shrieked "WHITE SUPREMACIST TERRORIST!", and that's what you'll feelz in yer bonez forever. Then CNN tried to call the Waukesha terrorist attack a "car crash", and blamed it on an alleged domestic disturbance that theoretically occurred miles away, which was not captured on camera. How many Christmas parades have there been in the last 100 years, and how many domestic disturbances on those same days, and how many of them resulted in a 50 pedestrian car crash? Just the one, by the guy who used that same car to run over his own girlfriend two months earlier, after he punched her in the face, and who had been posting about the Rittenhouse verdict, which came down just a few miles away, a week earlier. CNN: "Nahhhh. No connections there. This was just a "50-pedestrian car crash"." 🤣 CNN and CBC play you like a Stradivarius buddy. Your whole belief system is centred around their lies, gaslighting and disinformation. You truly have no idea if you're coming or going.

Regardless of what you say, or how hard you try to form a new narrative around this topic, it remains an absolute established fact that Carney lied to Canadians about the tone and overall messaging from that meeting; full stop. It doesn't really matter what Trump said now. It doesn't really matter what the Carney said now. All that matters is we're going to end up with a new 4-year mandate on the 28th, and we will either sink or swim as a country. I think that there's a really strong possibility that this is the last time we're all voting in the same federal election if the Liberals win. Or at least I hope that's the case, because Canada is obviously broken if the bribery-gorged CBC has managed to thwart democracy once again. I'm absolutely not interested in another election in 2028. I'm as open to the prospect of Canada under the LPOC gov't as I am to an islamic theocracy.

Some of the psychiatric science of 30 years ago is ow quackery. Some of the psychiatric science of today will be considered quackery in 30 years. Some psychiatrists call other psychiatrists quacks today, and maybe they're both right sometimes. Who knows, some of it might come full circle and change sides again. I get that there is a lot of knowledge out there, and there is no doubt constant progress, but I think that times change and psychiatry is always changing. Two things spring to mind: life changes constantly, and I think that the kids of today, whose minds were formed while playing iPads instead of hunting frogs, are probably quite different from the kids of 80 years ago the philosophy of legalizing drugs but getting users more involved in society so that their dependency lessened, which allegedly worked in Portugal 20 years ago, probably doesn't work anymore in the age of fentanyl. I'm no expert so I'll shut up now, but long story short, I consider psychiatry a thoroughly inexact "science". And I understand that's just a layman's opinion.

The question is, are we paying for them either way? There's a cost associated with the crime of a large homeless population, homeless shelters and meal provision, overworked ambulances drivers, crammed ER's, lost tax revenue from tent cities in front of businesses, lost property tax revenue from the lowered values of downtown condos, overworked police, lost tourism dollars, etc. If downtown Vancouver had less homeless people and less crime then it would be a more desirable destination for people to live and visit. It's current reputation is still largely based on its former glory: Vancouver gets dirtier and uglier every year, to the point where it's really depressing now. So, while there's a cost associated with better care for people with mental health issues, there's also a huge cost associated with doing nothing, imo.
