  1. Have a look at the article on how Communist China has been working to keep the Liberal left government in Canada in power. Communist China prefers to see Canada go leftist and authoritarian and against freedom. Notice how the media doesn't say it like that. They only say there has been some interference in Canada's election process but are careful to not say Communist China has been working to keep the Liberals in power.

  2. You are in denial and are a part of problem. What does "hyper partisan" even mean? I guess it means if we don't support you liberal-leftists we are partisan and are the problem. The problems are endless because of leftism which is destroying the west.
  3. You're not making sense. You didn't answer the question either. The problem is the left/liberal government we have that is destroying Canada.
  4. I am not the one who is dividing Canada. I am not the government. It is the Trudeau government that is doing it. I am only telling the truth. Canada cannot be united under this kind of government. That is obvious. What is your solution?
  5. Yes, we inherited our Parliamentary system from Britain. Before the Protestant Reformation in the 1500s, Europe was in the dark ages under the rule of totalitarian dictators (Kings, Emperors, and above them the Papacy in Rome). There were very little human rights. They ruled mercilessly from Rome with the Holy Roman Inquisition and burned rebels on the stake or threw them in prison and tortured many. Then in the 1500s, the Reformation came along and various reformers such as Tyndale (who was burned at the stake), translated the Bible into English so the ordinary people could read it. Rome had kept the people in darkness under its system and rule for a thousand years. Now the reformers Martin Luther in Germany, John Calvin in Geneva, John Knox in Scotland, Tyndale in England and others came along and opened the eyes of the people. King Henry VIII was convinced to reject Romanism. After years of struggle, they kicked the Roman power out of Britain and part of northern Europe. As a result, the people demanded elected governments and received them. "The Parliament of Great Britain was formed in May 1707 following the ratification of the Acts of Union by both the Parliament of England and the Parliament of Scotland. The Acts ratified the treaty of Union which created a new unified Kingdom of Great Britain and created the parliament of Great Britain located in the former home of the English parliament in the Palace of Westminster, near the City of London. This lasted nearly a century, until the Acts of Union 1800 merged the separate British and Irish Parliaments into a single Parliament of the United Kingdom with effect from 1 January 1801." Parliament of Great Britain - Wikipedia This happened after the Reformation in the 1500s and 1600s. The age of renewal arrived and human rights began to take hold in Europe and then in America with the forming of the American Republic and the U.S. Constitution. As part of these developments, democracy grew as western civilization realized the Biblical truths of respect of the individual mattered and rights became enshrined in laws and Constitutions, including in Canada. This never happened in the rest of the world. Much of the world remained in darkness and human rights never became an issue. But because Europe and America had a Judeo-Christian heritage, the principles of democracy and human rights became more important and guided the development of western nations. The rest of the world remained in darkness with Africa remaining divided up into tribalism (with some smaller Christian groups started by missionaries) and still that way today to a large extent, the middle east and northern Africa ruled by Islamic dictatorships, and Asia in the cover of eastern religions such as Hinduism (with its thousands of gods) and Buddhism, and other similar religions. Trudeau and Liberals (and NDP) don't understand this and want to make Canada more of an international country, or post-national state. They want to bring in millions of people from the third world who do not believe in Judeo-Christian values or have any idea of what they mean. Many of them are believers in leftism or Socialism/Liberalism. This is how Canada's western civilization is being destroyed. We see it happening in Europe as well.
  6. I agree with Pierre Poilievre, Trudeau is the cause of the Freedom Convoy and the cause of so much division in Canada. He divides Canadians in every way possible. One only need to think about it a little. He has created this mess. His actions have caused the high inflation, high cost of living that many people simply cannot afford. He has been vindictive in his approach to governing and turned Canadians against each other. You see how Liberals operate in various departments. Trudeau brought in extreme gun legislation causing even more division; then they backed down and withdrew after they had caused a firestorm. They brought in legislation allowing dangerous offenders out on bail and causing grief for countless Canadians and killing police officers. This also divides Canadians. Then all the Premiers, police chiefs call for a change in the bail system and instead of immediately rising to the occasion, the justice minister brings in a feel good review system of people wrongly convicted. This makes them look like angels, but they haven't dealt with the issues that really are troubling Canadians, the bail system and the proliferation of illegal guns coming across the border.
  7. Trudeau has broken this country up like no other PM has ever done. He has divided Canadians in every way possible and through various means has made the cost of living impossible to keep up with for many Canadians. He has attacked Canadians in every way possible. This is what caused the Freedom Convoy. Most of the protesters were peaceful people, but he even insulted and attacked peaceful people. He is dangerous and destructive. As a result of this divisive PM we are losing our democracy. A good PM would have united people. He does the exact opposite for political gain.
  8. Basic human rights came through Judeo-Christian civilization down through history. It is the concepts that came from the Bible such as the love of neighbour and respect for individual rights which are implied in the ten commandments as one example. Countries such as China, Russia, and Islamic countries in Africa and the middle east do not have human rights such as an elected government, a fair justice system, right to vote, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, and freedom of the press. Non-Christian countries simply do not believe in the sanctity of individual rights in the way western nations do. These rights are generally non-existent in non-Christian countries. These rights did not appear instantly, but developed over time.
  9. It is almost impossible to know exactly who is telling the truth and what is going on in Israeli politics. There are divisions and factions. But all that doesn't change the fact Israel is under siege. I met a man once who immigrated to Canada from Israel. He told me when he lived over there, he had been in the military and even though he finished his duty, everyone is still part of the defense force and could be called up at any moment. They always had to live like that. The one thing that we do know is there are a number of terrorist organizations such as Hamas and Hezbollah that have a lot to do with the terrorist attacks against Israel. We also know that Israel is surrounded by tens of millions of Arab nations who would like to eliminate Israel. So Israel is in a constant struggle for survival. Arab youth are encouraged to be terrorists.
  10. Canada's policy of a two-state solution is a nonsensical policy and just reveals their lack of understanding. Canada should stop indirectly funding terrorist organizations that attack and oppose Israel. "Members of Parliament of the Government of Canada are using their official positions to channel taxpayers' money to Islamic Relief Canada (IRC). The IRC is a federally registered charity, so the taxpayer is subsidizing this activity. IRC in turn is sending millions of dollars to Islamic Relief Worldwide (IRW). Seven independent and reliable sources have gone on the public record and stated that IRW uses charitable funds to provide material support to terrorism." Is Canada's Government Funding Terrorism? :: Gatestone Institute
  11. As one who accepts the Bible as God's revelation to mankind, I view the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians from a Biblical perspective. Firstly, God gave that land to Israel for perpetuity several thousand years ago. " 18 In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:" Genesis 15:18 KJV There are many verses to demonstrate that God chose Israel. That is the only nation on earth that God specifically gave the land to forever. There are many verses in the Bible showing God's special relationship with Israel and the promises he made to them which still exist. Former U.S. Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, is a Bible believer and recognizes this. "Mike Pompeo, the former United States secretary of state, has made a controversial statement regarding the Israel-Palestine conflict as he said in a podcast that Israel has a ‘biblical’ claim to Palestine. Pompeo, who is considering running for the US presidential election, also called Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas a "known terrorist". On the One Decision podcast, which was released on Thursday (February 16), Pompeo mentioned his religious beliefs and also talked about America's strategic interests when it comes to Israel and Palestine. " Mike Pompeo calls Palestinian president ‘terrorist’, says Israel has ‘biblical claim’ to Palestine (msn.com)
  12. We have what everyone calls democracy but if you examine it closely, you find it is full of holes and there is massive room for questioning the concept. What kind of country one has depends on what the people believe. Canada is a mish mash of beliefs and conflicting ideologies. If it is a democracy, it is certainly flawed in many ways. The word democracy is kind of deceptive in a way. The word gives the impression that everything will be fair, moral, and honest. In practice it is far from it. As most immigration is from the third world, huge numbers of leftist supporters are coming to Canada. The leftist ideology seems to appeal to these kind of people. Government is supposed to solve all problems and take care of everyone. What happened to individual initiative, hard work, and personal responsibility? One would think if we had the perfect system, there would be no problems. But the government the people elected has massive failures in many areas. Less than 40% voted for the Liberals and as they are minority, much less than 40%. Perhaps closer to one third. Yet they are being propped up by the NDP who only received around 20% of the vote. The NDP ideology is make the corporations pay and the corporations are greedy. Profit is a dirty word to the NDP. The main talking points of the NDP leaders are greedy corporations and profit is bad. This is Communist ideology. Canadians do not support his ideology but are fed a steady diet of it on the liberal leftist media.
  13. We certainly seem to be living in the last days prophesied in the Bible. Society is self-destructing. "1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy," 2 Timothy 3:1 KJV
  14. Just another example of how leftism (including liberal progressivism) is destroying western civilization. " 21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. {more: or, rather} 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet." Romans 1:21-27 KJV
  15. Would be interesting to see if her Charter rights to freedom of expression means anything in this situation.
  16. She should get a crowd funding campaign going and take the school board to court for denial of her Charter rights to freedom of expression. I'm sure she would get a lot of support.
  17. I posted a video link and some info and you go after me.
  18. Linda Stone should take the Durham region school board to court for denial of her Charter Rights.
  19. Guess what? President Biden just announced three balloons that were over the U.S. were NOT spy or surveillance balloons. I have been exonerated when I said they may not have been spy balloons. Where are the apologies from the liars and accusers on here who were adamant I was wrong and claimed they were spy balloons and claimed I was a China supporter? Of course the politicians and media who claimed they were spy balloons all along will never apologize or backtrack. They can't be trusted.
  20. Leftism as a political ideology is evil. That does not mean everyone who follows it or supports it in some fashion is evil. It just means the leftism belief in a general sense is evil. Why? Because it advances and supports things that are contrary to Biblical morality. It promotes Socialism or state control of society and the elimination of individual freedom. That is very evil. The Bible clearly teaches "thou shalt not steal". Some think that it doesn't apply to the state if the state does it. Anyone who does not recognize that needs to give their head a shake. I have a brother that somehow thinks Socialism is benevolent and is love of neighbour. This is false. The Bible teaches individual charity, not state-ordained redistribution of wealth. Socialism destroys individual initiative and promotes laziness. Why would someone work hard or show initiative in what they do if someone lazy or who doesn't work receives the same from the state? Socialism is contrary to human nature. This has been shown throughout history. That is another reason leftism is destroying western civilization.
  21. Why? We can post links to articles and we can post links to videos. So why is it problematic? I also added a lot of comments to it. Nobody is forced to watch a video link. It is there and is a free choice. Why try to control what other people post?
  22. Another example of how leftism is destroying western civilization. "An Ontario school trustee has been barred from attending board meetings in part because she publicly questioned the district’s stated policy of accommodating a student’s decision to switch genders while keeping it a secret from their parents." Ontario school trustee barred from meetings after questioning gender transition policy (msn.com)
  23. Not according to me. I just quoted a number of verses that say you cannot get to heaven by good works. But the bottom line is one can be saved only if God gives his grace and saves a person. Nobody can save themselves. Only God has the power to save a person. That is why we should not take an arrogant attitude toward the Bible or God because it is God's revelation to mankind and is the source of the knowledge of salvation. It is God who saves people by his grace alone. "14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. 15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. 16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. 17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. 18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth. 19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? 20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? {repliest…: or, answerest again, or, disputest with God?} 21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? 22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: {fitted: or, made up} 23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, 24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? " Romans 9:14-24 KJV We need to approach God with humility realizing we are mere mortals created out of the dust of the earth and depend on his mercy and grace to be redeemed.
  24. All false religions in the world believe a similar thing. They believe one can get to heaven by living a good life as your post says. That is also part of classic Roman Catholicism but includes some other things such as believing in Roman Catholic dogma and various unbiblical doctrines they hold. The Bible makes it clear nobody can work their way into heaven. There are only two places to go, heaven or hell. "10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. 12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. " Romans 3:10-12 KJV " 20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. 21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;" Romans 3:20-25 KJV " 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. " Ephesians 2:8, 9 KJV
  25. Leftism has brought us the despicable bail and parole system which has cost innocent police officers and other people their lives. Remember the police officer in Ontario who was killed in the line of duty by a dangerous offender who was let out on bail. And the twelve people on the Cree nation in Saskatchewan who were stabbed to death by a dangerous offender who was let out on parole. Who is being held responsible for letting these people out? One would think those who allowed this to happen or were directed to do so should bear some responsibility. But we hear little of this. This is an example of a dysfunctional justice system that is destroying our country. "OTTAWA — Ontario Provincial Police Commissioner Thomas Carrique told MPs law enforcement officers “deserve to be safeguarded” against repeat violent offenders as he recommended reforms to Canada’s bail system." Bail system in ‘desperate need’ of change, Ontario Provincial Police commissioner tells MPs (msn.com) We hear little if anything at all about this on the liberal-controlled CBC and CTV, both leftist mouthpieces.
