The US and Ukraine actually signed a Treaty on Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters that was brought in when BILL CLINTON of all people was President. So dealing with the Ukraine on legal issues isn't even an issue. https://www.state.gov/12978 I know you hate Trump, is that why you're ok with the fact that Hilary Clinton enlisted the help of Russians to spy on him to help win an election and then to help overturn the election results of 2016? Hillary even took that bogus intel to the FBI, who knowingly provided it as false evidence to get a warrant to spy some more and start a propaganda trial which lasted 3 years. If you're looking for an all-time low in US politics that was it. If you're looking for proven election meddling that's it. If you're not looking at that as some sort of crime then why the hell would you accuse Trump of committing a crime while doing the exact same thing, but in a more legal and above-board manner? Should he have found some sleazy cellar-dwellers in Russia and paid them off covertly through a law firm to make it legit Rue? Talk about clueless. If you're looking for an example of slimier behaviour than Trump using an existing legal channel to get an investigation into an obvious crime started then look no further than Bidens bilking billions in business and millions in salary in foreign countries where JB was heavily influential as VP. Why was the Obama administration so favourable to China when the Bidens were doing all that business? Hmmmmmmm. Do you have a legit example of Trump's family doing questionable business with foreign countries like China? Because I have examples of Trump dealing with China in a way that will make the Chinese very willing participants in influencing the election in favour of the Dems. I'm for real Rue. That's a problem around here. No one likes to deal with the truth anymore. It's like the "information age" turned into the post-truth age, where companies like CNN can lie, retract, omit, make bogus accusations, etc and still call themselves a "news" channel. Honestly they should have to spell it Newz.

Grow up, or go out with your militia buddies and wait for the chaos ladder like a big boy. Either or. For your edification: Fascists exert total control over the media. They have their protected, exalted group that can never be questioned and they have groups that can openly be denigrated and mocked. They illegally control the judicial system to the detriment of non-followers. They control elections. You can dither about “what groups the fascists denigrate and what groups they protect” and if you’re correct it’s just a trivia lesson because the vast majority of people just understand fascism to mean one thing. It’s like the intellectual snobbery of insisting that the word “ironic” doesn’t actually mean what almost every single person in North America thinks it means, including Alanis Morisette. Trudeau does exert un-democratic control over the media. He used $1.4 billion taxpayer dollars to buy the actual media and he is creating new laws to control what people say on social media. He says it’s to combat lying about political figures but he does that himself all tge time. Trudeau openly denigrates old-stock Canadians, our ancestors, westerners, construction workers and men in general all the time. But we’re not even allowed to tell the truth about his protected groups. Trudeau ran rough-shod over our judicial system and now he is blocking the investigation into that and our media treats that story like a cat in tree, rescued by firemen. It’s back-page news. Trudeau is trying to get non-Canadians to have the right to vote because he knows that gives him control of major population centers. Ie, control over elections. His ultimate goal is to be “The Man” at the UN. That’s his huge army that he dreams of. He doesn’t care about the Canadian military because he’s openly post-nationalist. Just like a true fascist, like Hitler, Trudeau wants the world. He just has a different path to victory. He’s the world’s biggest narcissist by far, and that’s no small achievement while Donald Trump is still walking the planet.

Keep your head in the sand Argus, I couldn’t care less. We both know that on one side of the story people said crazy things like “the FBI is playing dirty and the MSM is lying” and on the other side people said “the new bombshell evidence is just about to be released and Trump is going to be proven guilty” every weekend for three straight years. At the end of the day the FBI was PROVEN (I’ll say again PROVEN BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT) to have been peddling falsehoods to the FISA court and the MSM was 100% wrong that whole time. Your side was a total joke Argus. CNN and CTV and CBC all missed the boat on the FBI scandals and they all piled onto the farce. At the end of the day you just have egg all over your face. Of course you want to put it all behind you. Do anything but man up and admit that you were wrong Argus. Now you seem to think that Biden is obviously innocent and Trump was wrong to question him, despite all evidence pointing to the contrary. The sham investigation into Trump was ok and we need to do everything in our power to ensure that Biden is never investigated, right? ”It’s easier to fool a person than to convince them that they’ve been fooled” - Mark Twain

You're not bright if you think that anyone uses the word bolshevik for anyone outside of Russia.

OMG, are you for real? Trump's request was tit for tat, and he wasn't starting a sham investigation based on bogus intel. Biden bragged about an actual crime, it's his own fault that anyone even knows about this. Are you honestly going to try to act like it was ok for Hillary to use bogus Russian intel to try to spy on Trump pre-election and then use that fake dossier to get him removed from office after he won, but Trump can't just ask for a legit investigation into an obvious crime? Even Hunter admitted that his last name got him his job in Ukraine, and everyone knows that it got him business with the Communist Bank of China as well. You go after Trump 24/7 but you act like protecting Biden is a mission from God himself. CNN and the Dems are a joke and you're their toady. There are plenty of things to hate about Trump. If you want to stick to those topics and have an actual constructive dialogue then good on ya, but your 3 year long CNN-induced losing streak isn't coming to an end by clutching to their next idiotic farce. Next time they come up with a new thing, do yourself a favour and switch the tv off.

Careful or the FBI will start a Canadian collusion investigation into Trump!

Fascist is a word that's used widely used around the world, like zeitgeist or deja vu. I've never heard anyone called a bolshevik before, aside from Russians.

Isn't that just a Russian word? Are there any bolsheviks on earth outside of Russia?

I guess that depends on what kind of fascist Trudeau is. He's not really a Canadian fascist because he's a post-nationalist, so what he really considers his army to be is probably a mix of support UN soldiers and mobs like Antifa & BLM. The Canadian military means nothing to him.

There's everything fascist about it. Canada is not operating like a democracy with separate branches of power and freedom of speech. There's no denying that the Trudeau government is clamping down severely on free speech, there's no denying that he tried to run the judiciary from the PMO, to the benefit of a company that's been caught bribing a Liberal Party member before. I never said that we were an entirely fascist state, I just posed the question "is Trudeau a fascist?" He operates like a fascist, not like a democratic PM. It's his MO.

He's been caught using undue influence on the AG to run the judicial branch of our government unilaterally even though he doesn't have any sort of law degree, he's trying to exert government control over social media, he's criminalizing different acts of free speech about government officials (even though he slanders other government officials constantly, when he knows that he's lying), he criminalized speaking about his own religion but he lets anti-Semitism run rampant without ever saying a word, he overtly blocked the SNC investigation, and he has showered money on favourable newz outlets which border on being propagandists while at the same time he has constantly denied non-sycophant news outlets access to even covering various electoral functions. The basic rule of thumb Re: media is that if you don't blow sunshine up his arse you are blacklisted. If a fascist was to commit an ethics breach in this country or make new laws wouldn't they be acting a lot like Trudeau? 1) How much of a fascist is this guy on a scale from 1-10? 2) What's the best argument that anyone can come up with that what he is doing is ok? IMO he checks every single one of the boxes for fascism, but he's not a 10/10 in any of the specific areas, yet. So 7.5/10. You could make the point that he hasn't jailed anyone yet just for anything that they've said or written, so it's not full-blown fascism, but that's the best I could say in his defence.

Ezra Levant is hard to watch sometimes, he tends to drone on, but it's entirely fascist for our PM to ban Rebel Media.

Like Nancy Pelosi said, impeachment is only practical with bi-partisan support. Otherwise it's a mistake. (Then she just got right into a partisan impeachment effort which is likely to going have bi-partisan opposition. So she's just an idiot who regurgitated a sensible quote from someone else but she couldn't act on the wisdom in it) This impeachment sham has already cost the Dems a lot of support among centrists, and they're losing valuable ground in the swing states. That's the whole shabam right there. The Republicans don't need to act like children in the future just because Dems are doing it today. 2020 is their just rewards for staying on the moral high ground.

We don't have a national news network here. There's no light being shone on our bastard, aside from on social media, which Trudeau is doing his best to curtail. He's a fascist's fascist.

That's a straw-man if I've ever seen one. I never once have used the word deep state here, even regarding the US scenario where that is obviously the case, nor have I ever accused the Canadian gov't of of having any such thing going on. I'm accusing the CBC and CTV Newz of having a ridiculous level of bias. That's it. When Harper may have committed a single minor ethics breach it was headline news for 3 years. When Trudeau obvioulsy committed 2 major ethics breaches and obstructed justice in more ways than one it wasn't a big deal. It's been a lot less than 3 years since SNC etc, and it's like a distant memory on our newz. There were a lot of first-term MPs in the Lib Party last time around. They don't earn a pension until their 5th year. Trudeau had all of those guys over a barrel. CBC never questioned Trudeau's leadership, his ethics, nothing. They'd never publish an article which cast Trudeau in such a negative light. Another straw man. Get a life.

You were wrong, and people were leaving the party for no other reason than Justin Trudeau's behaviour. If that's not reason enough for the CBC to raise the question of whether or not the Liberal party needs a leadership change then nothing is.

OMG, if that's where you're at intellectually then this is a moot point. Just pay attention elsewhere.

Did you read the link I posted? Get over yourself.

Further to that last post, one of the "undecided" voters was a muslim girl. I think we can all agree that no less than 90% of muslim voters are full-on Liberal supporters and less than 2% would vote Conservative. I don't expect you to take my word for it, so here's some propaganda for you to look at: https://scholars.wlu.ca/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1012&context=soci_faculty

Originally I watched a CTV Newz show where there were 7 undecided voters who talked about Trudeau blackface. Of the 7, only 1 was upset by it. I couldn't find it on Google, but here's a CBC Newz episode from just after the blackface scandal where Trudeau talks to 5 "undecided" voters. I haven't watched it, but I'm going to guess that if I did I would come to the conclusion that they're not really undecided voters, they're shills who are there to lob Trudeau some pre-scripted softball questions, a-la the infamous Donna Brazile set-up for Hillary. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trudeau-met-voters-face-to-face-1.5303043 If Scheer did this there would be no calm, rational discussions with "undecided" voters who were actually Scheer supporters. They'd interview the crying, raging mob or they'd talk to a little black kid who said something like: "is the PM of Canada going to kill me?". That's how they operate.

You're the one who said that CBC and CTV had no reasons for questioning Trudeau's leadership, I was pointing out that you were wrong. So can you show me where they questioned Trudeau's leadership as a result eyeball?

There were prominent women leaving the Liberal party specifically because of the way Trudeau was running the show. 4 in total, on 3 separate occasions.

Grow up. It was a simple question. Wrong. They investigate because it's their job, then when they get to the point where they realize that it's a farce they stop because that's also their job. They don't lie, omit, fabricate and weasel their way to a warrant to spy on Americans and commit a public smear campaign. What a crock Argus. You're trying to tell me that the FBI was just playing "fast and loose" and this is no big deal? No one is stupid enough to believe that 17 significant errors and omissions in a request for a warrant is just laziness. Especially from the FBI. Especially from members of the FBI whose blatant bias was already previously exposed. You know you're lying and so do I. They didn't "start" the investigation under false pretences, if you want to get that technical then probably no investigation in recorded history was "started" under false pretences. Anyone on earth who lives within 20 miles of a murder could be a suspect based on your logic. The FBI just kept it alive when they knew it was a farce and they used the extremely public nature of the investigation as a smear campaign. Wrong again. They needed to find proof in order to say that they had proof. That's how it works. They just didn't get any because collusion never happened. Their main agenda was a smear campaign, but they were also hoping that if they investigated enough that they would find evidence of some other crime. One again you're dead wrong. There were 17 significant errors and omissions to obtain the FISA warrant. That's where the BIAS came in. Faking an investigation for the purpose of using it as a political smear campaign is what the FBI did in this case. The Dems gained control of the house as a result of the FBI's biased smear campaign.

Sure, but the right thing to do is take away all the oxygen from the argument that Israel is the world's most bigoted and violent country and they are unfair with the Palestinians. Their only option right now is to defend themselves.

Can you tell me how these two running commentaries from CTV and CBC jive together? 1) Trudeau is a popular PM and his scandals are insignificant & unworthy of serious media coverage. 2) There's no excuse for Scheer not winning because Trudeau was a scandal-plagued & unpopular PM. Ummmmm.... if Trudeau was as great as those two always said, and if his scandals were all insignificant, then why are they saying that Scheer should be on the cross for losing? Shouldn't they be saying that Trudeau's leadership of the Liberal party is in question because of all of his scandals? Did you ever see a CBC or CTV article that questioned whether or not Trudea should still be running the Liberal Party? Why not? If he's such a criminal that SCheer should have won then hes such a criminal that another Liberal Party member should be taking his place at the helm.
