I don't know where you get your facts. I think most parents when asked if they have a right to know what their kids are doing and what decisions they make, they will say parents have a right to know what is going on. Seems to me polls show the great majority of parents feel they have the right to know what is going on with their kids in schools. Seems to me you claimed to be a Christian, but now argue in favour of the LGBTQ agenda, teaching little kids that all that is normal, and allowing kids to "come out" as being gay or trans and keeping it secret from the parents. You can't have it both ways.

How could it hurt anyone? You don't think teaching little kids in school they can be whatever gender they choose and transition is not harmful? Parents have had enough. They demand to know what is going on.

Just came across another article which says Jordan Peterson was targeted by the College of Psychologists of Ontario (CPO) for his views on climate change podcast, among other things, which had nothing to do with the psychology profession. "The CPO reprimanded Peterson for, among other things, remarks he made on a Joe Rogan podcast concerning climate-change policy , a subject that bears no relationship to his clinical practice as a psychologist."

This is the result of psychiatrists and "professionals" in charge and making decisions about giving day passes to dangerous offenders in a psychiatric institution. There is going to be a "review" of this event. I would not be surprised if the authorities learn that the so-called professionals had decided he was making progress and was now safe to be given a day pass. Anyone should see through this whole thing and realize the system is a farce and needs to scrapped. It only proves no professional can predict with certainty what these kind offenders will do and such people should never be let out under any conditions. Nobody should be given the authority to let them out.

" How Can We Know That the Bible is from God? Miska Wilhelmsson | March 13, 2018 When Jesus walked the earth about 2000 years ago, He was faced with a very similar question when the people who heard Him teach wondered if His teaching was truly from God. Jesus answered them by giving this simple, yet profound answer, “...My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me. If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know of the teaching, whether it is of God or whether I speak from Myself.” (John 7:16-17) We can apply this same principle to knowing that the Bible is truly from God. All those who desire to obey God will know by the very words of the Bible that it is indeed from God himself. This is an astonishing argument, since most people would claim that simply hearing Jesus’ teaching could never be enough. They would have to see miracles before they could believe Him to be from God. Jesus even challenged his hearers to believe because of the miracles He had performed (John 14:11). Yet, did everyone believe in Jesus when they saw these undeniable miracles? No, even when faced with miraculous proof, many remained in their unbelief. The reason for this is found in Jesus’ original answer—­only those who truly want to do God’s will shall know the truthfulness of Christ’s message (John 7:17). The Bible itself is sufficient proof for all who desire to know if it is from God. This can be clearly seen in a story that Jesus told about a rich man and Lazarus, found in Luke 16:19-31. As Jesus concludes the parable, He explains that if they will not believe the message of the Word of God based on its inherent authority, neither will they believe that message if an undeniable miracle was performed. The Bible itself is all the proof that is needed; it is self-authenticating. There is no need for additional proofs or miracles to establish the authority of God’s Word. It stands on its own." How Can We Know That the Bible is from God? (tms.edu) As for the King James Bible itself, the proof has been well established. It is the only version based on the majority text or Received Text.

Oh, why is there no law in the justice system to prevent people found NCR who committed serious crimes like murder from being released on day passes?

Apparently the federal law does not require someone who has been found not guilty of murder by reason of "not criminally responsible", although they committed the crime, does not require such a person to be kept in a mental institution under guard. They can be released on a day pass and go out to stab other people. Again, a total failure of the Trudeau liberals. Even the B.C. NDP leader, Premier Eby came out today and condemned what has happened. He should put his words into action and do whatever he can to change the system. Public safety comes first.

The existence of hell is well-documented in the King James Bible. Let us not fool ourselves or be deceived by others. Hell is a real place just as heaven is a real place. Jesus spoke clearly about hell. See Mark 9:43 KJV. Jesus was raised from the dead and seen by many eyewitnesses. This proves what he said is true. " Revelation 21:8 - But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Did you know according to the King James Bible there is a hell and a heaven? Ignoring it doesn't change the fact.

Whatever makes you feel good, go for it.

That's true. It would be difficult to end the existing system because so many FNs are totally dependent on government funding to exist. That's the problem. I don't know how it can be solved. Not overnight anyway. Would take decades, but I don't know if we are even moving in that direction. They need to become self-supporting somehow.

Sorry to have to tell you, but you are not in the category of "grown ups". You are incapable of a rational, respectful conversation. Your modus operandi is insults. Sometimes the truth must be told.

Just googled Starlink since you mentioned the name, and found out how much it costs for individual service. " Starlink is a division of SpaceX that offers satellite internet service to Canada and the rest of the world. The company recently expanded services throughout much of Canada, with only a few areas that are not yet part of its coverage map. Starlink’s $140/month Residential plan delivers unlimited data and download speeds up to 150Mbps, making it a great option for those in remote areas looking for faster internet service." Starlink Internet Canada Review 2023: Plans, prices, and speeds | WhistleOut When you consider the costs of living in some remote native village in the far north, it adds up to a lot of money. Housing, groceries, health care, education, etc. is prohibitively expensive. And FNs expect government to provide and pay for everything. So add another $140 a month to the bill and many Canadians in towns and cities across Canada begin to ask where are all these services for them? Why should natives or anyone living in some remote village receive everything for free while the other 40 million Canadians have to struggle to survive and now can't even afford the rent or to buy a home? The whole idea of providing free everything to some Canadians and not the other 40 million is a non-starter for many. It's just not a popular idea.

We know you are a woke liberal pretending to be a conservative. PP 's comments are not "harsh" as you claim. He speaks the truth in the language that draws support. That's how politicians have to speak to be successful. That's just how politics works. Trudeau is the biggest fake and divider that ever existed. So what are you talking about? If anyone talks "harshly", it is Trudeau. He has made endless divisive comments in the process of wrecking this country.

Actually that's not true. The government has been promising for years, decades that people in every remote Indian village will have high speed internet, but it has failed to deliver. Government pressure telephone companies and internet providers to build the infrastructure but are not so keen to pay for it. There is no money in it for companies to provide a multi-million dollar service to timbuktoo, but government keeps trying to figure ways to get companies to provide it. It cost hundreds of millions of dollars. It still is not done. The fact is people think government should provide them everything in remote communities like Timbuktoo, housing, food, high speed internet, smart phones, schools, hospitals, advanced medical care, etc. etc. You name, government is expected to provide it to a village of ten people in the Liberal/left world. There is not enough money to do all that.

You were not following the discussion. He claimed that the government provided the internet service. I was simply trying to point out that it is done by telecommunications companies. He either couldn't accept that, or was pretending he did not believe it so that he could carry on insulting and name calling. I kind of think that was his purpose. Total waste of time. I don't see much point in that kind of conversation.

Maybe PP can find a way to tone down the CBC's liberal / woke slant. A public broadcaster should be serving all Canadians, not just the liberal/woke/left. They are being funded by all Canadians. I don't know how it could be done, but it might require major changes. It would be difficult to change.

As you can see in my "discussion" with ExFlyer, he was adamant that telecommunications companies were not installing it. He insultingly claimed that the government was connecting people to the internet. So I simply pointed out government does not do that kind of work but it is done by companies. In the end he insults me some more, calls me names, and says it is immaterial who does the physical work. All through this useless discussion, I was simply pointing out that the companies do the work. He changed his tune (with more name calling) and finally admits government does not install anything. But the whole thing is he only uses these forums as an opportunity to insult and call people names. A total waste of time.

You completely missed my point. I said government governs; they do not themselves provide the hardware, software, transmissions lines, etc. You still insist government provides it all. Government can contract or hire private telecom companies to provide high speed internet service to wherever, but government does not install it themselves. I looked at your website and nowhere does it say that government has the technical equipment, hardware etc. and installs it themselves. All they can do is hire private companies to install it. So instead of calling people stupid for telling you how it actually works, find out the facts. When government says they are connecting 98% of Canadians to high speed internet by 2026, they don't mean the government is physically doing it themselves. They are just taking credit for arranging for private telecom companies to do the actual work and provide the equipment. Why is that so hard to understand?

Nobody needs to make a choice. Everyone is born straight. Some change probably because of social influences or some kind of influence.

Give any evidence or proof you can find that show the government installs the actual line, microwave sites, hardware for high-speed internet. If you are just guessing, give it up. It's false unless you can prove it. That is not government's job and they do not install the internet anywhere. If you can prove it, then maybe you might be believable. Otherwise , no.

Government or CBC do not provide infrastructure to remote communities for television or internet. That is done by private companies such as Telus, Bell, Rogers, etc. Government does try to find ways to encourage companies to provide high speed internet to northern communities, but as you say is not having much success. That is because it is done by private companies and is extremely costly to provide high speed internet or television to a small remote community. Why should private companies invest millions of dollars to provide high speed internet to some tiny community in the north and make no money in return? It's just not economic. It is costly. Government does all the talking about what they want, but they do not provide the service and they likely expect companies to pay for it.

This is nonsense. Only God could make a man and a woman. Man cannot play God. This kind of thing is completely wrong and evil. It is also very dangerous. You have a very imaginary belief of what the medical system can do. They cannot make a man into a woman or vice versa. That is complete fiction. They try, but it is not genuine and it is extremely risky and can have dire consequences. It is messing with God's creative work. " All medical interventions have risks. According to WPATH, feminizing hormones have an increased risk of a blood clot in a deep vein, usually in the leg, that is called venous thromboembolic disease (VTD) and can be fatal. Other risks include gallstones, elevated liver enzymes, weight gain, cardiovascular disease, and a high level of a certain type of fat (triglycerides) in the blood). [1] There is a possible increased risk of high blood pressure, higher levels of the hormone prolactin, and Type 2 diabetes. It has not been proven whether or not it increases the risk of breast cancer. [1] Estrogen taken in pill form has more VTD risks than estrogen administered with a transdermal patch on the skin) estrogen administration. Ethinyl estradiol is the type of oral estrogen with a well-documented higher risk for VTD. For that reason, this specific type of oral estrogen should be avoided for feminizing hormone therapy. [1] Using progestins in feminizing hormone therapy is controversial. Some experts believe it is necessary for full breast development, while others report that progestin hormones do not enhance breast growth. In addition, progestins may increase the risk of breast cancer and cardiovascular disease, and also have risks such as depression and weight gain.[1,5]" What to Know About Transgender Medical Transitioning: Male to Female | National Center for Health Research (center4research.org)

I doubt that is correct these days. People in every community demand to have high speed internet and high speed internet also makes it possible to watch television. I think broadband internet is being provided to small communities right across Canada, be it by cable or microwave links or through satellites. The CBC has nothing to do with providing these services. It is just another channel on television or radio. It doesn't actually provide internet service or cable or satellite TV. That is done by telephone companies and internet providers.

Not sure what your point or aim is on here. There are only two genders, male and female, in the Bible and they are not changeable. By opposing what is right and normal, you seem to be opposing God and the Bible in every way you can. You need to really start studying the King James Bible, and change your thinking. Have faith in Jesus Christ. That is the only way.
