So, becoming a judge is an apolitical affair here in Canada? https://globalnews.ca/news/4049900/trudeau-omar-khadr-lawyer-john-norris-justice/ Did Global News lie to us here? Was this judge not really appointed by the Liberals?

@eyeball - Most of the world remembers things like this, which you claim to be unaware of? "Multiple locations where things are burning. Mostly peaceful."

Then maybe show it for once? Just once, cite a page with some facts on it instead of just doing.... whatever you want to call this. Do you honestly need to see plinks proving that CNN supported the riots? Are you really going there? If you post the words "I don't believe that CNN was supporting the riots" then I'll post some links just for you, ok? I'll even post links to show you that the current VP was wildly supportive of the riots. But you need to say those words, because I'm not just fetching links for you, I'll be doing it to prove a point about your intelligence. When you think you're making a point, just maybe think twice? When things are well understood by the whole rest of the planet you don't need to post links. People don't post links to prove that the moon isn't made of cheese to anyone but you. I can say "Michael Jackson was a very popular pp singer in the '80s" without posting a link because only 1 person on earth would require a link - that's you. I can say "many people believe that Michael Jordan was the greatest basketball player of all time" without posting links because only 1 person on earth would require a link - that's you. I can say "Michael Jackson was a very popular pp singer in the '80s" without posting a link because only 1 person on earth would require a link - that's you. I can say "many people believe that Michael Jordan was the greatest basketball player of all time" without posting links because only 1 person on earth would require a link - that's you. That's not actually what it did. It proved that you still don't understand the rules of polite discourse. People don't post links to prove that the moon isn't made of cheese to anyone but you. By not accepting "my word" you're actually doubting that CNN supported the riots. That's fine buddy, but most people will think that you're extremely stupid for holding that opinion. Still, I need you to say that "you do not believe that CNN was supporting the riots" because it provides an extra level of proof. Wow, you clearly took some time thinking about that, and all it did was look childish. Wrong. You're asking me to provide links to prove something that everyone else already knows, while at the same time refusing to just show the evidence to back up a very substantial accusation that you've made, which most people here know to be false. I always supply cites when they're needed, but in this case they're not needed. You're just dodging. I'll only provide the links after you admit that you are actually completely unaware that CNN supported the riots. There's a big difference between "getting the links just because you asked for them" and "getting the links to prove how completely oblivious of current events you are". "Learn the language. Learn the etiquette. Stop making snotty insults. Grow up." - That part still stands

Last I heard you get all your stuff from blueanon, but you can call it what you want. I guess I can't really argue with one of the sheeple about how they pronounce baaa, or in your case beee, so I'll give you that one. Bleat to your heart's content, eyeball.

Of course you understand that in this instance, the burden of proof is on you, right? At the heart of this little tete a tete is my claim that you need to show some kind of proof of all the "nazi flags and racist symbolism" that you keep popping off about. Eyeball was actually coming to your defence by saying that I needed to show proof that "CNN supported the riots", because according to him, some people still don't know. Anyhow, you're admitting that the burden of proof is on the positive claim, or in this case, proof of your comments about the symbols, so it's put up or shut up time. For the tenth time, @eyeball & Michael Hardner, show the proof that you claim to have.

I prefer the Truck Fudeau flags. Not a huge fan of the F Trudeau there, but I get it.

"Find" them, or were they planted there? The guy who was wearing the confederate flag with the truck on it was photographed with Trudeau's own propaganda photographer. The only nazi flag I saw had Trudeau's face on it. The MSM and their lapdogs are referencing naziism and racism a lot but evidence of it is non-existent.

I'll concede that you're trying to make what seems like a reasonable point, it isn't counter-intuitive at first glance, but don't forget that judges are politically appointed and are not at all above having their own political motivations. Look at Sotomayor's recent statements. No one is dumb enough to believe what she said. She was just duped by leftists propaganda and made a fool of herself in public. The same thing happens from the bench.

Wow. It's insane to think that's the narrative that our PM and MSM are pushing about the freedom convoy, while they all supported the BLM riots and act like they were peaceful. It's stupidity on steroids.

Who was it that said that someone used a truck to ram one of the trucks in the freedom convoy? I've never seen that on any news, and I couldn't find it on Google or FB.

"Insists" is the key word. He believes that they're everywhere because that's what the alt-left MSM has told him, but the few examples that were briefly shown were nothing more than photo ops which were quickly staged at the very outer edges of the protest and then the culprits were whisked away. I did see a picture of a swastika, but Trudeau's face was (suitably) in it.

I'm holding out hope that Brad Wall or Pierre Poilievre can set the tone for conservatives in the near future. I don't blame Scheer for tip toeing around the media, but O'Toole put on clown shoes and danced for them. It was sad to see. I can appreciate that M Bernier never would have done any of that, but he lacks PP's class and his ability to effect scathing criticism without giving the MSM ammo.

And TBH, it's sad that a guy like that has to feel like he's in danger from the freedom convoy just because our hatemongering idiot of a PM felt the political need to discredit them on live TV.

That's a terrible idea. It's like putting fish in a barrel for guys like Gov Cuomo.

I saw that video on FB. I just subscribed to that guy's youtube channel but I don't really know what that means. I've never really followed anything on youtube. I guess I'll find out.

This is a perfect example of polls being used for fake news. I really doubt the 57% stat that the alt-left MSM is pushing (I'll clarify: I saw that quoted on this site), but it's not really worth fighting about. They might have done that poll in Ottawa, or on one of their own disinformation websites, but every major poll that I've seen shows that Canadians are done with lockdowns and mandates.

The NSA in the States has been recording every phone call that anyone makes for years decades. Sound files are very small, they don't take up a lot fo hard drive space. If you start saying a lot of their buzzwords on the phone (or around your cellphone nowadays), for example the things that you can't say in an airport or on a plane, you can trigger closer inspection of all your phone calls. Also, if you start making too many calls to people who are on their radar, they can go back further and snoop through all of your older calls. This isn't something that they use to solve murders, they don't their intelligence gathering capabilities to be public knowledge because they want to use them to catch the bigger fish, but they definitely have it and they definitely use it. Snowden leaked some of this information, and another famous example of the NSA's technology is when they were hunting for Pablo Escobar: they used voice recognition on every single phone call within hundreds of miles of where they expected him to be. Maybe every phone call in NA for all I know. He couldn't talk personally on a cell phone or the DEA would be all over him.

Exactly. "If". "If" you do, can you post a link?

I don't, but apparently 57% do. That's bad.

That has more to do with MSM disinformation than anything else. These same people who characterized the BLM riots as 'mostly peaceful' have characterized the entirely peaceful freedom convoy as racist, misogynistic, anti-Semitic, anti-Islamist, and rife with vandalism and the desecration of monuments. More than 57% of people never went anywhere near the protest. Of course a certain percentage of people will believe what they see on the news. It's sad, but that's life.

You clearly don't understand the conventions of normal debate. You don't get to refer to blueanon talking points as if they're common knowledge, you need to provide links if you think they're actual facts. You can refer to the moon without providing a link, but he said, she said from Lisa LaFlamme is only considered gospel among her acolytes. Discuss facts instead of making snotty, misguided accusations eyeball, and google 'ad hominem'. So learn about etiquette then. That would be a blessing for all of us. I provide links to verified facts constantly eyeball, several per day, but I don't recall ever seeing a link to anything factual in nature from you. You're a blueanon guy. You accept 'the word' from CNN and CTV and you expect people to just believe it from you in the same way. Not happening. And still, no one has provided a link to back up MH's accusations. Why is that? Since when is it ok to slander people without ever showing any proof of your accusations? That's disgusting. This is about an ad hominem argument against people from the freedom convoy, which required a link, but you didn't provide one, you just threw down another ad hominem argument against me instead. Learn the language. Learn the etiquette. Stop making snotty insults. Grow up.

Side note: the Jan 6th committee, which is 100% made up of pro Russian collusion hacks from the Democrat party, is desperate to score a win against Trump to block him from running again. That's because his bad orange man DNA is all over the vaxes, and the MSM has pimped them as the Holy Grail. The Dems CAN'T let Trump do a vax victory lap and then run in 2024. Not a chance. Just watch democracy evaporate in front of your eyes, people.

On CTV today they were talking about the fact that Alta and Sask were ending their vax mandates, and there was some talk about maybe the truckers scoring some wins. The moderator of the debate said [paraphrasing] "But the truckers aren't responsible for ending the mandates, it was the vaccination rates". Whatever the actual conversation was, today the talking point finally came out about 'victory over covid'. Biden needs to claim it as his win. Ditto for Trudeau in Canada. Obviously Pfizer and Moderna want the vaxes to get the credit as well. If the MSM and Pfizer/Moderna get their way, and the unholy trinity of Trudeau, Biden and Big Pharma get to claim the win, we're all fucked. We'll be getting jabbed and/or losing freedoms for the rest of our lives. Whether you got jabbed or not, whether you're a conservative or liberal, Dem or GOP, you can't give credit to the vax or the vaxes will run our lives forever. Freedom will be gone forever. The fact is that omicron, weak as it is, is still killing over 500 fully vaxed people a month: i.e., it kills octogenarians regardless of vax status, and it doesn't kill young & healthy people regardless of vax status. I don't think that any of us want anyone to be forced to take vaccines that they don't need now or in future generations. This has to end. It's at 3 per year right now, the first jabs were in early 2021 for most people, and they were already pimping the 3rd jab in Dec of last year. On Dec [I think it was the 14th. I had the day on the file when I saved it, but when I opened it up last time the date on the file changed to the 30th]. Anyways: Dec 14 7,861 unvaxed deaths and 981 fully vaxed deaths Feb 6 2022 unvaxed 8,479 (up by 618) and 2,032 fully vaxed deaths (up by 1,051). Todays stats are here: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1257040/number-covid-deaths-canada-by-vaccination-status/ Every single person here knows 100% that fully vaxed people still get covid, they still spread covid, and they still die from covid. People who got the jab can feel proud that they were part of the group that took a chance on the vax to keep other people safe, people who didn't get jabbed can feel proud that they were part of a control group to measure the success of the vaxes by, and let's just all agree that in the future, when vaxes don't work, we'll avoid the political division. BIG PHARMA CAN'T CLAIM VICTORY OR WE'RE ALL LAB RATS FOR LIFE, AND SO ARE OUR FUTURE GENERATIONS.

And I was correct in saying it. CNN's overarching theme is well-known to everyone in North America who follows politics, and you should have known too. They jumped on every hateful bandwagon that came along for all those years and they fanned the flames of racial division and rioting every chance they got, then they did a complete about-face on Jan 6th - the one day that rioting affected their leaders in DC personally. (Am I wrong? Can you name another riot in the past 8 years that directly affected the Dems, aside from the one that they FUURRRREAKED out about?) The fact is that you wanted to feign total ignorance and I just didn't have time for it. MH isn't talking about the facts of the trucker convoy that we've seen on video, he's referring to a hatemongering leftist talking point as if it's a proven entity, when it has never been established as fact anywhere. If you had some facts or a cite then you could have easily used them to make an actual point for once, but instead you just staged another hapless ad hominem attack. Why is your go-to move always just to avoid the topic at hand and get snotty? Just show up with some facts for once. Blow us all away. Maybe you'll start to like facts. Careful though, if you get addicted to them you'll end up being a conservative.

1) The government shouldn't be acting as Moderna/Pfizer's grovelling lackeys. The unholy union of lobbyists and greedy politicians needs to be curtailed. If Trudeau has earned even $1 from big pharma, or received any gifts or benefits from them, then suddenly his ardent support takes on a new meaning which goes directly against Canadians' best interests. I'm talking about jail time. 2) No we don't. Trudeau wiped SNC's asses with the constitution.
