How is the government "tilting the economy so much towards the rich"? So you believe in Communism or government ordered wealth redistribution. Do you understand what you are proposing means a Communist system, which means no freedom?

Do you believe in a one world government or system? When you say economic inequality, do you believe government should take wealth from the rich and give it to the poor?

Have you or do you read any books? Any history books or world affairs books?

Guess that means you vote for the left wing parties which is an evil ideology. You think it is evil for someone to somehow work hard and earn wealth? Do you somehow seem to covet what other people have and think it's your right to have what they have? Isn't that Communist ideology?

I am not sure what your point is. It sounds a little confusing. Have you ever read parts of the Bible or learned that human nature is fallen and corrupt? Would you believe that if anyone told you that is what the Bible teaches? It makes sense when we look at what is going on in the world, right?

Kamala Harris Branded Danger to Western Security: ‘She Has Great Deal To Learn About Art of Statesmanship’ (msn.com)

If the alternative is Kamala, I think the world is in trouble. An article by Con Couglin in Newtz says she does not have the foreign affairs experience. She was a disaster when Israel's PM Netanyaho visited Washington the other day. She was given the job of Czar of the southern border and illegal migrants have continued to pour in. He says Russia, China, Iran and N. Korea will be happy if she is elected. I doubt if she has the diplomatic skills to deal with these troublesome countries. The position contested is not just the President of one country. The person in it is the leader of the free world. Therefore the candidate must know how to deal effectively with the whole world. That's a tall order. Kamala Harris Branded Danger to Western Security: ‘She Has Great Deal To Learn About Art of Statesmanship’ (msn.com)

Trees are not gone. BC is full of trees. Did you ever take a passenger plane from Vancouver to northwest B.C. Thousands of square kilometers of untouched wilderness. But the radical left and it's puppet NDP government puts regulations and preserved areas everywhere they can. It's called the "Great Bear Rainforest", an environmental propagandist name. There is no such thing as a "Great Bear Rainforest". Rainforests are common on the B.C. coast. They are everywhere. No Great Bear Rainforest that is any different than the rest of the coast. Then there is the red tape, stumpage fees, and regulations that make it hard for mills to be competitive. How can we expect prosperity with an anti-industry, anti-resource NDP government in Victoria? Our tax dollars must be used to pay FNs grants and privileges wherever the NDP can. Then there are the cuts that must be paid to FNs for resource use. That is the new challenge companies will face with UNDRIP.

That is wrong. These are past government's decisions, policies, actions, and responsibilities. No way should people living today be held responsible for things that happened in the distant past. This is wrong from every angle. But this is way many liberals and left now think. They have no idea of justice or fairness. The same kind of situation is happening today with our governments that run up massive debts and expect future generations and our children and grand children to pay for their squandering of taxpayer money today. No conscience, restraint or care about future generations. This is a very self-centered way of thinking and governing. And what does the Supreme Court do in all this? Nothing. In fact they support the ideology that present Canadians must pay for things that happened in the distant past. Not only that, but they award bizarre outrageously large payments up in the billions of dollars. There is no rationale for this. I wouldn't call this justice. It is unjust punishment of present Canadians for the sins of people in the distant past.

" The Hurons came to a final settlement of $10 billion with the Ontario and federal governments last year for past breaches of the Robinson-Huron treaty. Ontario and the federal government have split that settlement obligation between them 50/50. Friday's ruling from the Supreme Court makes no orders with respect to the settlement agreement with the Hurons. The Superior Anishinaabe instead took their claim — seeking as much as $126 billion for past breaches — to Ontario Superior Court, which came to a ruling in September. Before that ruling could be released, the Supreme Court ordered it to be held in reserve pending the release of this decision. On Friday, the top court ordered that the settlement ruling remain unreleased for another six months. Ontario is still appealing the Robinson treaties case to the Supreme Court, despite proposed settlement Dollar value of resources to be debated as final stage of treaty annuities trial begins Ontario says cost of 'colonization' infrastructure relevant in treaty annuity trial The Friday decision by the top court ordered the Ontario and federal governments to use those six months to come to an agreement with the Superior Anishinaabe. "If the Crown and the Superior plaintiffs cannot arrive at a negotiated settlement, the Crown will be required, within six months of the release of these reasons, to exercise its discretion and determine an amount to compensate the Superior plaintiffs for past breaches," the Friday ruling said. unquote Crown made a 'mockery' of 2 treaties with First Nations for 150 years, Supreme Court rules | CBC News One important question is why does the Supreme Court think that taxpayers today should be held responsible for paying billions of dollars over some past historical breaches that happened in the distant past. Of course these FNs are going to make these outrageous claims because the system is there for them to do it and they can. Present day citizens had nothing to do with it and yet the SCC expects us to pay and pay and keeping paying billions of dollars. What planet do they live on?

quote Scientists reveal how the first cells on Earth could have formed We’re one step closer to finding out how life first developed on Earth. Scientists widely believe that life was formed in a hot spring but were unsure how cells became more complex to help evolve into life as we know it today. Now, a study has revealed how collections of fats formed the membranes of the very first cells. Researchers from The Scripps Research Institute in California said a chemical process known as phosphorylation happened a lot earlier than we first thought. Phosphorylation is a process where groups of atoms that include phosphorus are added to a molecule. This helps turn fats, known as protocells, into more evolved versions of themselves, so they can become more versatile, stable, and chemically active. These protocells are thought to be the building blocks of basic biochemistry over 3.5 billion years ago. ‘At some point, we all wonder where we came from,’ said Dr Ramanarayanan Krishnamurthy, from The Scripps Research Institute. ‘This finding helps us better understand the chemical environments of early Earth so we can uncover the origins of life and how life can evolve on early Earth.’ Life is thought to have begun in a hot spring. The researchers thought that since phosphorylation is so common throughout the body, the process must have been involved in the early stages of protocell formation. The team recreated conditions similar to Earth’s early days in a lab, and combined chemicals such as fatty acids and glycerol in a way to create structures similar to protocells – and they found that phosphorylation may have been in the protocells during that period. unquote Scientists reveal how the first cells on Earth could have formed (msn.com) This whole idea is based on pure speculation. It is another attempt to evade God and claim chance somehow caused life. This is just pure Darwinism. It probably sounds plausible on the surface to people who know nothing about the creation account in Genesis ch1. The type of scientists invent new words that are supposed to baffle the reader and somehow give their claims more credibility. But really it is just another unproven theory that someone dreamed up. The truth is complexity of even the simple cell with all the chains of DNA information built into it should prove to anyone that a cell or life could not just happen by chance. It required an intelligent designer or Creator. "24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. 25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good." Genesis 1:24, 25 KJV This was a supernatural event whereby God created life on the fifth and sixth day.

LILLEY: As Trudeau botches immigration, poll shows falling support (msn.com)

We see this kind of thing often. Trudeau and Liberals parrot whatever the U.N. and it's international bodies and committees decree. We saw it during covid with the World Health Organization and it resulted in Trudeau trying to obtain vaccine from Communist China, which failed disastrously. We see it constantly with Trudeau's radical carbon tax measures against Canadians. We see it with the draconian laws and policies against the energy industry in Canada and the ban on a pipeline in northern B.C. and the ban on tankers off the north coast of B.C. We see it now with the antisemitic and anti-Israel policies of the Trudeau government. Canada calls for Israeli response to ICJ advice on occupied Palestinian territory This is all the work of the anti Israel U.N. which is full of antisemitic/anti Israel countries. Trudeau and the Liberals know nothing about the history of Israel and the middle east conflict. Neither do most of the U.N. countries. The so-called west bank is a major part of Israel. When the arab countries surrounding Israel attacked Israel in the 1967 war, they lost miserably. Israel took over control of the west bank as a result of the 67 war. It requires that territory for its security as it is historically a major part of Israel. So Trudeau and Liberals should just keep their noses out of something they know nothing about and which affects the security of the State of Israel. It is a highly sensitive issue with Israel and you can understand why and Israel does have historical claims to that whole area. Canada calls for Israeli response to ICJ advice on occupied Palestinian territory (msn.com) " Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he is planning to effectively annex parts of the occupied West Bank in what would be a major - and highly controversial - act. What is the West Bank? It is a chunk of land located - as the name suggests - on the west bank of the River Jordan and bounded by Israel to the north, west and south. To its east lies Jordan. The West Bank has been occupied by Israel since the 1967 Middle East war, but decades of difficult on-off talks between Israel and the Palestinians - both of whom assert rights there - have left its final status unresolved. unquote Explainer: Israel, annexation and the West Bank (bbc.com)

Jagmeet Singh, the NDP opposition leader, is dangerous because they have a special confidence/supply agreement with the governing party. This means his ideology carries far more weight in the government than it otherwise should. He seems to have a real opposition to big companies and their executives. This is fundamentally an opposition to our capitalist system or free enterprise system. Our free enterprise system has brought prosperity to Canada and western nations all through history. Socialism has failed and brought nothing but problems. Cuba, which Singh admires by the way, is a failed country. They are in poverty and much of what they have is fifty years behind the times. Yet he said the Communist revolution in Cuba was good for the people. Now today in Canada he is constantly railing against corporate executives and company profits. He just complained the 500 million dollar fine for Loblaws for price fixing on bread is not enough. I don't know what he wants. Does he want government to take over the whole food industry? That would be a Communist revolution. It would be a disaster for Canada. Investors would take their money and run. Why would anyone invest in Canada if the Marxists were taking over? They wouldn't. His ideology just scare investors. Our system is built on investment and hard work. Under the liberals that is being undermined too and investment in Canada is being threatened as Socialism creeps in. People are starting to think government is their Father and owes them everything. That is not a good sign for the future of Canada.

Throwing hundreds of millions and billions of dollars at FNs has just made Canada poorer and will solve nothing as far as making them self sufficient and independent. In fact giving and spending vast sums of money only makes people more dependent and less willing to work to support themselves.

Useless post because it does not give any information.

Nonsense. My comments are always related to false teachings, unbiblical practices, etc.. You are projecting false ideas.

Again a completely false statement. All part of your false accusations. I never said I hated Catholics or natives and never intimated I did. So it is you that is lying. If you read my comments properly, I oppose your idea of giving FN activists who demand land that is not theirs. Demanding land and a cut of natural resource industries on the basis of the fact some FNs ancestors living somewhere in the province or country is ridiculous. Nobody has perpetual ownership of the land because of some claim about ancestry like that. As for the RC church, I have nothing against the Catholic people. I believe they are deceived much like countless other organization that have deceived their people. I go by what the Bible teaches and am familiar with their beliefs which are mainly contrary to the teachings of the Bible. You need to reconsider your false claims. It is you that has no compassion for anyone that doesn't think like you.

We have lots of unregenerate people on their way to hell. They don't care about human life and could care less about what God says in the Bible. Those who are born again and saved should pray for them. Hopefully they will realize their folly before it is too late and learn the truth in the Bible.

quote Trump slams Biden's 'barely understandable' speech on his private jet©REUTERS He touched on the border crisis and U.S. relationship with Israel at his first event since Harris became his presumed general election opponent. But leading Trump's list of attacks was Harris' record on abortion – even though the issue is seen as something that could be his downfall among women voters in swing states . 'She wants abortions in the eighth and ninth month of pregnancy – that's fine with her,' Trump said of Harris, who he called a 'lunatic' to massive jeers from a crowd of 10,000 gathered at Bojangles Coliseum in Charlotte.

You and herbie are two of the same kind. Both of you love to be false accusers. But you can make all the accusations in the world but it won't make a bit of difference. "Although the accuser of the brethren wants to emphasize our sin before God with the aim of condemning us, God is merciful enough to reject Satan’s accusations and offer grace. Even in the case of Job where God grants the devil permission to test Job, Job’s perseverance and eventual humility renders the devil’s accusations false. In the New Testament, Job is presented as an example of perseverance in the face of suffering (James 5:10–11), a victory against the accuser. Furthermore, we rest secure in the truth that Christ and the Holy Spirit intercede for us (Romans 8:26; Hebrews 5:14–15; 7:25). Satan’s accusations won’t twist God’s sovereign plan to save all those who place their trust in Christ, and God’s purpose will be fulfilled for His glory. unquote Who is the accuser of the brethren in Revelation 12:10? | GotQuestions.org So the Bible describes Satan as the accuser. Who do you work for? God or Satan? That is the real question. You can become a son of God, but you have to believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. There is no other way but the way described in the New Testament.

Sixty percent of Canadians say Canada is admitting too many immigrants: poll (msn.com) quote I continue to be weirded out by the unfamiliar, almost uncanny nature of what I think we can call Canada’s immigration crisis — i.e., the apparent effects on labour markets, housing, services and infrastructure of an ill-managed and virtually unprecedented deluge of humanity. (And, no, I don’t think the super-immigration of the homesteading era qualifies as a precedent.) What’s unfamiliar about this is that critiques of government immigration policy have been led, in Canada, almost exclusively by economists. There is as yet no sign of widespread populist revolt against very high immigration; it is the bean-counters, the nerdy jugglers of abstractions, who are losing their patience with Liberal heedlessness. Mike Moffatt, an economist who has become an important tribune of housing issues, spotted an interesting example in the fresh new Bank of Canada Monetary Policy Report for July 2024 . In a “what’s changed since the last report” section of the document, there’s a sidebar on the population growth projections that the bank uses to forecast the economy. Considered as a piece of dialogue between the fiscal part of the government and the monetary part, which is exactly what it is, this sidebar is, well … awkward. The last report, the bank’s governing council informs us, came out shortly after the federal government announced a new policy target: it intended to reduce the share of non-permanent residents (NPRs) from 6.2 per cent of Canada’s population (could you have guessed this number?) to a mere five per cent within three years. The bank took the government at its word — but almost immediately learned that the NPR share of the resident population had risen to 6.8 per cent, and that in the short term it is expected to keep rising, not falling. Related video: Asylum seeker claims in Canada reach record high (Global News) The Liberals haven’t announced the details of how they’re going to start moving in the direction of the target, apart from a cap on international student visas, so the bank finds itself with no choice but to acknowledge “Considerable uncertainty … on the future path of net NPR flows.” But there’s a footnote: “If NPRs continue to either leave Canada or become permanent residents at rates observed since 2021, achieving the target would require reducing average annual gross inflows by around 70 to 80 per cent across multiple programs over the next three years.” And that’s not counting the effects of the student visa cap or the end of the emergency travel program for Ukrainians. Elsewhere in the report, the bank’s council talks about the effects of force-fed immigration, whatever amount of it we end up getting. GDP per person will have declined over the second quarter of the year at the same dismal rate as in the first quarter, while consumer spending has entered the doldrums. Labour markets are softening into goo, which, in turn, delays immigrant integration into the economy; newcomers to Canada suffered 6.9 per cent unemployment in 2022, but that figure is, at the moment, 11.6 per cent. And housing supply growth has been pathetic, although the bank’s reduction of interest rates ought to help — to the degree it can, in the places it needs to. unquote Colby Cosh: The bankers' revolt against Canada's tidal wave of immigration (msn.com) I think the reason why few Canadians protest the mass immigration to the government is they feel the government does not listen to Canadians, so why bother.

So your only contribution is to call your opponents "racists". When are you going to grow up and have a constructive conversation and make some rational points that make sense instead of endless name-calling? You are not convincing anybody on anything here. Nobody takes you seriously about anything. We all know your posts are just going to be throwing the same old lies and name-calling with the usual low-life foul language thrown in. "20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them." Isaiah 8:20 I tried to point you to God's word to help you but you mock, scoff, ridicule, insult, and offer nothing constructive. You have chosen your own path in darkness.

Here we go with another wacko lefty-liberal whose only contribution to any discussion is to call those he disagrees with racist. When will you grow up little boy? And he who knows nothing about Christianity or the Bible is the least qualified to be an accuser. Instead of spewing garbage in almost every post, you need to get down on your knees and beg God to forgive you and be merciful to you and start listening to him through his word for a change.

MAID and its growing expansion is a result of a fallen, decadent society that rejects God and his written revelation. That rejection means a rejection of the sanctity of life. We see the same thing with the killing of the pre-born babies. The woman running to be President of the U.S.A. also strongly believes in what abortion supporters call "woman's freedom of choice". They are careful to avoid mentioning the pre-born baby. What is ironic is they support killing people with assisted suicide and aborting pre-born babies, but oppose capital punishment for murderers.
