  1. You think this is just a peaceful protest? The truth has been coming out. This is run by a highly organized movement intent on overthrowing the democratically-elected government and Parliamentary system. CTV just reported this again. Wake up goof.
  2. No bud. You are badly deceived. Many of the players in it think they are just peaceful protesters but they are being used by a small group of conspirators. This is an attempted insurrection driven by foreign money from the far right in the U.S.
  3. It never ceases to amaze me how naive many people are on here. People's hate for Trudeau and the health restrictions has blinded them to the fact that Canada is under seige by a mob including seditionists who want to overthrow our democratic system. Arrests have already been made of people for conspiracy to commit murder. We still don't know what the authorities may encounter in removing the illegal Ottawa blockade-occupation.
  4. The so-called "freedom convoy" is nothing other than an attempt by a far right seditionist mob run out of the U.S. by Trumpsters to overthrow our Parliamentary system and duly elected minority government. RCMP, CSIS, and the government have been fully informed of this. About 60% of the funding has come from U.S. far right sources. Guns, ammo has been seized in Coutts and at least a dozen people arrested. Four have been arrested and will be charged or are charged with conspiracy to commit murder. Wake up!
  5. Nonsense. Ever heard we have a Parliamentary system with an elected minority government?
  6. The imposition of the act has been an obvious necessity for the past 2-1/2 weeks as the occupation of a city became an uncontrollable disaster. The declared attempt to overthrow our democratic system and occupation of the capital city should be an obvious reason to anyone paying attention. This has been well-publicized in the media during this whole time. Nobody can say they don't understand it if they have been watching the news. Secondly, this will be debated thoroughly in Parliament as the government is required to bring it into Parliament for approval within seven days. So this will give ample opportunity for everyone to understand the implementation of this act.
  7. There are a number of reasons why the act is necessary. But there is no need to for the government to give a detailed explanation, although they did issue a brief explanation. The reasons have been on the media constantly since the protest convoy started three weeks ago. It will also be debated thoroughly in Parliament as is required within seven days of enactment.
  8. There is no "tyrannical dictatorship". You are full of it. Go to Russia, China, or Iran if you want to find out what a dictatorship is.
  9. One thing we are learning from the blockage of the Ambassador bridge is Canada is far too dependent on one bridge as it's lifeline for food and trade especially for the automotive parts industry between Detroit and Windsor, Canada. Experts are now pointing out this weakness. Canada is extremely dependent on the southern U.S. and Mexico as it's agricultural food source and much of it comes across this one bridge. So any event that cuts this bridge off is catastrophic for Canada. Anything like a natural disaster, earthquake, terrorist attack, or simply a domestic blockage by any extremist protest group puts Canada in a stranglehold. It's time for politicians to wake up and find solutions to this weakness. To begin with, it should be legally designated as out of bounds for any protest group or blockading and be under constant guard from such actions. There should be immediate action taken if it is attacked again and serious consequences. It should be considered as an act of war. Blockades show Canada ‘too reliant’ on Ambassador Bridge, experts say (msn.com)
  10. The theory of evolution contradicts the Bible and has been shown to be false. I don't see the point of debating gravity or the definition of a theory. Not sure what your point is. Satan is the prince of this world and millions are deceived by him.
  11. There are several basic principles to interpreting Scripture. 1. “INTERPRET LITERALLY (i.e. NORMALLY or NATURALLY).” In other words, take the words at "face value." Take the words & verses to mean just what they normally mean, unless there is clear evidence in the text itself that they should be taken symbolically. 2. The "Golden Principle of Bible Interpretation": "When the plain sense of Scripture makes common sense, seek no other sense. Therefore, take every word at its primary, ordinary, usual, literal meaning unless the facts of the immediate context, studied in the light of related passages and axiomatic (self-evident) and fundamental truths indicate clearly otherwise." David L. Cooper. Principles-of-Bible-Interpretation-full-paper.pdf (bbc-madison.org) If you follow these principles you should be following the leading of the Holy Spirit, not the Devil. I am not familiar with the germ theory of disease. I am not a scientist so can't comment on the theory of gravity, but if there a theory on it, it is probably reasonable. We all experience gravity so we know it exists. I believe theory in the scientific realm is speculation about something where it has not been proven by the scientific method. Yes, many scientists likely believe in the theory of evolution, but many of them may not have given any serious examination of it from the point of view of those who have debunked it. Most people who do not believe the Bible likely do not even know the creationist point of view. You can read articles on the subject of creation at creation.com
  12. It takes study and the guidance of the Holy Spirit to tell truth from error. Evolution is not science. It is called the theory of evolution. You used the wrong word. The theory has been debunked by many including scientists. The science on the success of vaccines has been well-established over the decades. It has saved millions of lives.
  13. The person themselves might not need protection, but you remember we live in a collective society which means we need to protect each other and not be spreading it around. That's what vaccination helps to do. Granted it's not 100% effective, but it reduces the chances of spread and reduces the number of people filling up hospitals. That's why as many people as possible need to be vaccinated to beat this thing.
  14. You trying to divide people with medical conditions pre-dispose them to dying with Covid doesn't really have a place in this discussion because everyone has a right to live. The health measures are there to protect everyone. Covid is far more than a flu and causes widespread death. Over five million people on earth have died from Covid. So I don't accept your reasoning that you seem to be heading toward that we shouldn't protect people who are more likely to die if they get Covid. Everyone should be protected by society in as much as is reasonably possible. This is what society in general has tried to do in the past two years.
  15. The nature of the Koran and it's author (Mohammed) essentially eliminate any credibility in it. The Bible on the other hand gives a complete credible accounting of God's dealing with Israel and mankind that makes complete sense. I believe the King James Version is the inspired Bible in English. It is based on the Received Text. Many of the writers and people recorded in the Bible had personal encounters with God that are very credible. Moses for example, who led the people of Israel out of bondage in Egypt. Other men who wrote parts or books of the Bible give very credible accounts of their encounters with God. Many fulfilled prophecies recorded in the Old Testament were fulfilled in some cases centuries later. These are a few reasons it is believable. Not just because the Bible itself teaches it is true. There is far more to it than that. Nothing is based on how I feel about it. Each person has to have their own faith. Your faith in the Bible and God has to be based on your own belief about it. You don't have to believe me on anything. You are free to research it, study it, and come to your own conclusions. I realize a lot of anti-vaxxers are Christians / Bible believers. I believe they are in serious error. They do not accept the science. That is a whole different topic which I won't delve into there. I trust the authorities on vaccination. The Bible says in Romans ch13 God ordained authorities and we are to obey them.
  16. What you're asking is a little more involved subject. You would have to do a bit of studying of the Bible and learn the difference between the teachings of the false religions and the God of the Bible. Islam and the Koran are easily debunked with a little reading. Try using a search engine and enter the words " Islam and the Bible but be careful you don't just read some Islamic website. There are lots of those. If you study the Bible a bit you will learn a lot of reason why the Bible is far superior to other religions.. The Bible was written over a period of 1,500 years by about 40 different authors (66 books) in the King James Bible. They were inspired by God to write the Bible. I can't really go into all the difference on here as the volume of information involved. You have to look at the founder of Islam, Mohammed, and see what kind of character he was and the claims he made when he wrote the Koran. There is no comparison with the Bible and the men who wrote the Bible. The Bible is centred around Jesus Christ, who the Bible says is the image of God or Son of God. He was raised from the dead and seen by many eye witnesses as recorded in the New Testament. In the Bible God is actually three persons in one. He is not three Gods, but one God in three persons, the Father, the Son, and Holy Ghost (or Holy Spirit). He is separate from his creation. The Bible says he is a spirit. He is different than the false gods in other religions in a number of ways. The God of the Bible is also a Spirit who is present everywhere. He is omnipotent (all powerful), omniscient (all knowing), and eternal (always existed). So God send his Son, Jesus, to earth to take on a human nature and body for the purpose of atoning for man's sin. The Bible teaches we are all fallen, corrupt sinners. Other religions do not have this and they do not have an atonement for sin. The God of the Bible is personally knowable and any individual can have a personal relationship with him. The Bible teaches this. God wants all to come into a personal relationship with him and thereby receive eternal life. Other religions don't have this. Yes, we can look at the same verse and come to different understandings. That is common in the world. That is why there are thousands of different denominations. But most denominations do agree on certain basic fundamental teachings about God. The Bible often has to be used to interpret itself, that is, scripture interprets scripture. Sometimes it involves understanding the context. Sometimes it requires understanding the Bible is divided into dispensations or ages of time.
  17. You are correct. How many thousands of people die naturally every day in a country of 338 million people. Probably quite a few. Many die of natural causes, diseases, auto accidents, shootings, etc. etc. So the claim that 6,000 plus died after they were vaccinated does not really mean the vaccine caused it. We don't know the time frame either or the health condition of the people who died. But since some website bring this up, it must be dealt with on a rational basis.
  18. The Bible is the answer as to which God. The creation demonstrates that God exists. The Bible is inspired by God and describes who this God is.
  19. The number of Covid deaths in the U.S. has reached at least 920,959. The number of deaths from vaccination out of 527,784,089 vaccinations administered (if the deaths were caused by the vaccination, which has not been proven) is over 6,000 according to VAERS. 83,400 plus of the Covid deaths were unvaccinated people. So that works out to 0.0018% or 18 deaths per million people vaccinated and it's not clear that the cause was the vaccine in all cases. Calculate the number of Covid deaths per million people. It works out to 2725 deaths per million people. It is far greater than the number of deaths from the vaccine, 18, if indeed the vaccine caused some deaths. The conclusion is that the facts and statistics show the chances of death from Covid are far, far greater from Covid than from vaccination. So it is irresponsible to spread anti-vaxxer fear mongering. That kind of thing costs more people their lives.
  20. I was incorrect. One website says the number of deaths in the U.S. after vaccination was 0.0018%. It says 527,784,089 people were vaccinated. This works out to 18 deaths per one million people. But it also points out the deaths occurred some time after vaccination; they said they have not confirmed that the deaths were a result of the vaccination or some other cause. The number of Covid deaths in the U.S. has reached at least 920,959. The number of deaths from vaccination out of 527, 784,089 vaccinated (if the deaths were caused by the vaccination) is over 6,000 according to VAERS. 83,400 plus of the Covid deaths were unvaccinated people. The conclusion is that the facts and statistics show the chances of death from Covid are far, far greater from Covid than from vaccination. So it is irresponsible to spread anti-vaxxer fear mongering. That kind of thing costs more people their lives.
  21. The Bible assumes from the start that God is. There is no need to provide "scientific" evidence according to some kind of formula. The evidence for God is all around you in the creation. Only the blind claim they want evidence.
  22. A colony for anti-vaxers, anti restrictions people is being started in Paraguay. Good place for the freedom convoy crowd on here to move to.
  23. There is no "God given right" to infect other people with Covid and kill them.
