Trudeau's perverse love for China may have cost Canadians billions for all we know. Trudeau tried to make a deal with China (Communist China if you can believe it) to provide Canadians with Covid vaccine and the deal fell through, which cost Canadians $250,000. Everything Trudeau does costs Canadians a fortune because he is the one who has the top control of the cheque book for taxpayer's money. To have a guy who has no concept of money in control of the purse strings is bizarre.

There is actually so much more about what you said. A book could be written on why Trudeau is bad for Canada. Just one reason comes to mind: his love for all things progressive or radical social justice. When BLM marched in Canada (during the early stages of the pandemic when masking and social distancing should have been universal) Trudeau went out there and took a knee with them. BLM is known as a Marxist, anarchist organization and is a group that a PM should never have had anything to do with. But he seems to crave opportunities to support identity politics and cancel culture.

He is one of the privileged. Why should he care about inflation; it is Justinflation.

JEWS, GENTILES, CHURCH Before the cross of Christ, mankind was divided into two groups: Jews and Gentiles, a distinction caused by the covenants God had made for Israel alone with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and their descendants through Moses (Ex. 33:16; Lev. 20:24,26; Deut. 4:7-8; 1 Chr. 17:21,22; Psa. 147:19,20; Eph. 2:12). After the cross a new entity came into existence—the church that Jesus Christ promised He would build of all who believe on Him. Now there are three divisions of mankind: Jews, Gentiles, and the church (1 Cor. 10:32). It is absolutely essential to understand that these three groups exist side-by-side in today’s world, and the church was created through offering to both Jews and Gentiles a “new covenant” relationship with God. This did not bring Gentiles under the Jewish law, but delivered from it both Jews and Gentiles coming into the church. God has “broken down the middle wall of partition between [Jew and Gentile]; having abolished in His flesh the [Mosaic] law of commandments contained in the ordinances; for to make in Himself of [Jew and Gentile] one new man” (Ephesians 2:11-22) Unquote Jews, Gentiles, Church – Moments With The Book (mwtb.org)

Here is what MediaBiasFactCheck says about Canadaland news" "These media sources have a slight to moderate liberal bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes) to favor liberal causes. These sources are generally trustworthy for information, but may require further investigation. See all Left-Center sources." - Canadaland - Media Bias/Fact Check (mediabiasfactcheck.com) So why would any conservative group who wish to have a closed conference with other like-minded groups allow a liberal left wing propaganda outfit into it's meeting? The Rebel Media and their associates are not the government and are not required to open their private associations to liberal left antagonists. The government, Trudeau and Liberals, are accountable to the people who elected them, not private organizations who report on the government.

Why are you shouting? Isn't that spam?

I added the link to the initial posting.

Is Canada becoming more like Venezuela, Russia, North Korea, or Communist China? According to Rebel Media they won a court case that allowed them to have a reporter at Trudeau's media briefings and ask a question. The reporter was trying to get to ask Trudeau a question as he was arriving someplace for a Christmas party. But they said Trudeau's bodyguards assaulted one of their reporters out of blue and they said the police refuse to take action. They are taking it to court. But if this is true, this does not bode well and gives credence to our claim that Canada is losing it's freedoms and heading in the direction of a Marxist state. Sad They appear to push him around and manhandle him, pushing him up against a wall on a public sidewalk. Here is the video of it: SHOCKING: Rebel News journalist ASSAULTED by Trudeau's bodyguards - Rebel News

The forest industry has provided good-paying jobs for tens of thousands of B.C.ers Sadly now, 18,000 will lose their jobs, and many may not be able to afford to keep their homes, and raise their families, properly. They won't be able to switch to some other good-paying jobs easily because there are none. The forest industry was it. There are many towns in B.C. built strictly on the forest industry. Government cannot simply kill that industry in an area and expect a new industry to just appear out the blue. It doesn't work like that. Most will probably receive unemployment cheques and may have to sell their homes, vehicles, etc. and move to who knows where. When that runs out they will have to go on social assistance, but that is not enough to support families and pay for their mortgages. So I don't know what will happen to those people. A small number might be close to retirement age and be able to collect a pension. Some small towns will probably die off because of the economy being killed in their area. They are one industry towns. The government proves they do not really put people first, but they listen to special interest groups like environmentalists and ignore the working people and general population of B.C. They forgot one thing. The NDP received much of their support from the union movement and the forest industry workers who they are now turning on savagely. This may be why the NDP governments in B.C. have always been very short-lived, maybe a couple terms at the most and then decades in opposition. I think we see why. They seem bent on self destruction. There is a BC Liberal MLA, Ellis Ross, who was a native chief councilor in the native Kitimaat Village, who has been running to become the next leader of the BC Liberal Party who strongly defends the resource industries (forestry, LNG, mining, pipelines, etc.) that the NDP government are hell bent on shutting down. I believe he is getting a lot of support in his campaign for the leadership of the party but it closes at 5PM PST today. If you are a BC resident and interested in supporting him, Google Ellis Ross Campaign and sign up for membership before 5PM PST today. This will give you the right to vote on the next leader of the BC Liberal party in February. I think he has a good chance of becoming the next Premier of B.C. and defeating the NDP. He and his party will be able to reverse this law but it won't be for at least three years.

"At the onset of surgical restrictions in March of 2020, all ten Canadian provinces and three territories confirmed that, despite elective surgeries being pushed back, abortions would continue without any restrictions or impediments in place." Thousands of Canadians died in 2020 awaiting surgery amid COVID-related healthcare restrictions - LifeSite (lifesitenews.com) Over 2,300 Canadians who were put on surgery waiting list during Covid in 2020 have died LifeSite news reports. But tens of thousands of abortions were performed and nothing slowed that down. Shows where Canada's priorities are. Many many people are being executed in North Korea for such things as watching a western made video or disobeying the dictator in other ways. But Canada is not far behind in killing people and maybe far ahead.

"July 5, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) – Over 2,300 people placed on surgical waiting lists during the outbreak of COVID-19 in Canada died between January 2020 and December 2020, a report from Canadian thinktank SecondStreet.org confirmed last month. Thousands of Canadians died in 2020 awaiting surgery amid COVID-related healthcare restrictions - LifeSite (lifesitenews.com) "Overall, between April 2019 and December 2020, the report found that over 10,000 people had died “while waiting for surgery, a procedure, diagnostic scan or appointment with a specialist.” SecondStreet.org President Colin Craig, who authored the report “Died on a Waiting List,” explained that “[p]atient deaths occurred after waiting less than one month to more than eight years. Patients passed away while waiting for procedures that could be linked to their cause of death (e.g., cardiac surgery), as well as procedures which could have increased their quality of life during their remaining years (e.g., cataract surgery, knee surgery, etc.).” Craig noted that his report demonstrates “that Canada’s rationed health care system ultimately fails many patients – either by letting them spend their final days with a reduced quality of life, or by leaving them to die.” Looks like dying on a waiting list is a normal part of our public health care system in Canada. Why have we not heard about this on the mainstream media and from our politicians? Looks like this has been going on for years, but became particularly acute during the pandemic since people requiring life-saving surgeries have been put on waiting lists so the system in general could concentrate on Covid patients without having to deal with surgery patients. Everyone is not being treated as equals.

Yes of course they should both be accommodated. Everyone has as much right to urgent health care as anyone else in a public health care system. And political leaders letting the health authorities shut down surgeries for thousands of heart and cancer patients will probably save the health care system millions of dollars. So there is that advantage to it. Why they couldn't pump more money into health care in this pandemic, convert more beds into ICUs and open more facilities to keep the surgeries going is hard to understand. People who have surgery would stand a much better chance of survival and maybe not have to be put in a fully equipped ICU than not receiving the urgent surgery at all. What they are doing just doesn't make sense. They seem to have billions of dollars for everything else.

Quote Marxism is a method of socioeconomic analysis that uses a materialist interpretation of historical development, better known as historical materialism, to understand class relations and social conflict as well as a dialectical perspective to view social transformation. It originates from the works of 19th-century German philosophers Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. As Marxism has developed over time into various branches and schools of thought, currently no single, definitive Marxist theory exists.[1] Unquote - Wikipedia So basically Marxism is an anti-Bible, anti-Christian, materialistic ideology that allows it's followers who are in control of a situation to do whatever they feel like doing to suit the immediate demands facing them. There is no requirement to follow any human rights principles or Biblical principles of compassion or fairness. It is basically an atheistic system where cold, brutal means can be used. Communism developed out of Marx's theories. If following a certain policy such as giving the highest priority to Covid patients and shunting everyone else off to a holding list pleases their political bosses, satisfies the media attention which is focused on Covid, and makes the public think they are doing things the best way, then that will be the way they follow. Since people requiring surgery do not appear to be in any immediate emergency, giving all the attention to Covid patients seems like the most popular thing to do. Those awaiting surgery who die quietly in the background one by one will not be in the media anyway and nobody will be much the wiser. That is atheistic Marxism.

quote After the Cross a new entity came into existence—the church that Jesus Christ promised He would build (Mt 16:18). As a result, there are now three divisions of mankind: Jews, Gentiles and the church. Paul tells us that we are to "Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God" (1 Cor:10:32 ). It is absolutely essential to understand that these three groups exist side by side in today's world, to distinguish between them, and to recognize that God deals with each differently. Unquote Jews, Gentiles, and the Church | thebereancall.org Wrong. I do not dislike Muslims. I disagree with the religion. Big difference. Your other comments are not worthy of a reply.

Marxism exists within our system. The system is not black or white. Many think the system can do no wrong. Many people in Marxist-Leninist/Communist China think their system is perfect too. One's perspective depends on whether you have been a victim or not. If you have been thrown in prison in China because of your beliefs, you will have a certain perspective about the system. If you are one of the ones needing urgent heart surgery and are sitting at home (in effect on death row) you will have a certain perspective about the system. If you are not in that situation, you may think everything is going as it should be, but you are totally wrong. Yes, it can be a form of Marxism within such a system.

Depends whether you are one of the one's in need of heart or cancer surgery to save your life and you have been sent home and put on a list for the undetermined future, or one of the one's in the ICU with Covid trying to stay alive. One's particular situation determines one's perspective.

The definition of heathen also depends on who is defining it. Each of three groups you mentioned would technically say the other two are not worshiping the true God and therefore would fit into their definition of a heathen. heathen definition 3. 3. Informal a. One who is regarded as irreligious, uncivilized, or unenlightened. b. Such persons considered as a group. A religion that considers people outside it's religion as worthy of death would surely not fit into a definition of being civilized or enlightened and therefore would meet the definition no. 3 (a) above. A religion which believe people should receive the death penalty for blasphemy surely could not be considered as civilized and would therefore fit into that definition. The Bible also divides the world into three groups Jews, Gentiles, and the Church of God. So if the definition of a heathen is someone who is not a true believer, then anyone outside the Biblical definition of Christian (or Church) would fit that definition. Also, anyone who Christianity would consider as unconverted or unevangelized would fit into that category. Yes, I know the ten commandments pre-date Christ. I never attempted to give you a running history from 400 A.D. to 1500 A.D. What would be the point?

Of course the Jews are part of the culture. I never said they were not. Pakistan is not heathen???? Are you serious? 86.3% Muslim with blasphemy laws and the punishment is death or life imprisonment, death being the first choice. Heathen assumed to mean people who are not Christian. I realize some define it as anyone who is not Jew, Christian or Muslim, but I go by the definition which refers to people who are not worshipers of the one true God, Jesus Christ. The would make the eastern world in general heathen with the exception of there being pockets of people scattered around who are Christian. Of course the ten commandments are Christian principles and have been used as a basis for many laws. Of course the Reformation was part of the change in society. It was a major factor in western civilization from being under a complete dictatorship of Rome to individual freedom of conscience and freedom of religion. Prior to that we had the 400 years of the Holy Roman Inquisition which was brutal for people who deviated from Rome's teachings. The Inquisition did continue through the Reformation period in some countries. It was used to stamp out any opposition to Rome.

Nice diversion from the central issue of the criminal death of thousands of Canadians.

I am not talking about strict Marxist doctrine. I am talking about brutal dictatorships, which you would find in Marxist type government, that steamrolls over human rights and leaves large numbers of people dead it's wake. This also happened in Fascist, Socialist/Communist dictatorships in the world. People are so accustomed to benevolent government handing out cheques to millions of people, they do not see what is happening to many victims around them in their benevolent country.

1. The term Judeo-Christian has to do with the historical evolution of development of western culture. It refers to the morals, laws, democracy, human rights, as having come from the belief in one God who gave ancient Israel the ten commandments and which was later passed onto the western world in Europe in the early centuries. There were also some christians in the early centuries and down through the ages in the western world who did later influence laws and culture. That is what made the western civilization different than eastern civilization and the rest of the world which remained totally heathen. Later christian principles such as the ten commandments and respect for the individual were used as a basis of western morality, laws, etc. beginning around the time Christianity spread in 300 A.D. That is why the west has democracy and claims to have human rights and much of the rest of the world does not. Much of the rest of the world are dictatorships with no human rights. See the difference? 2. I don't think Canada will become a "Christian state". As a believer in Jesus Christ, I am called to point out what the problem is and maybe God will open someone's heart to believe in his word. One more person believing in God, Jesus, and the Bible is better than none. I don't expect Canada will change in general. I believe in pointing out truth which comes from God (the Bible which is God speaking) and perhaps someone or a few will be led by God to agree. Mankind needs to change. We live in an evil world. If you can't see that, you need to take your blinders off and look around and examine your own beliefs. I know this is an old cliche that many false religionists use, but there is some truth in the saying one is on the side of God, or on the side of the Devil. If I am not mistaken, the Bible divides humanity into three groups: the Jew, the Gentile and the Church of God.

Marxist ideology in a general sense is when government or those who are making decisions, make blanket decisions that affect whole populations without taking into account individual cases and circumstances. An example would be the blanket decision to triage people on the basis of treating only Covid patients because they need immediate treatment and not treating heart and cancer patients simply because they are not in an immediate emergency. But this hides the fact that just leaving them means their condition would just get worse and they would eventually die and never receive their surgeries to save their lives. This is what happened. It is sort of a Communist or Marxist state ordained brutality.

Canada was more of a Judeo-Christian society in it's earlier history. In fact, in the a long time ago, I think churches were the people who started education. Public schools read passages from the Bible to students every day. Then about 50 years ago things started to change and Canada adopted multiculturalism. Then they banned Bible readings from schools and declared schools would be secular. Since then public schools have gone completely into liberalism / progressivism. Young people are brainwashed with the liberal, leftist ideology including sexual orientation and gender identity ideology (SOGI) and now cancel culture.

Just an example of how bad the judiciary is. In B.C. a man went on a wild rampage with his car from the city of Richmond into Burnaby, wreaking havoc all the way. He smashed into parked cars and knocked signs down, and managed to do at least $28,000 of damage to various things. He barely missed hitting some pedestrians. After all that, he was given a thousand dollar fine and six months probation. That is liberal soft-on-crime justice. Not protecting the public. Common in Canada. He should have received a real jail sentence.

I am not whining about losing or saying I don't want democracy. I am saying the system we have produces much evil and immoral laws and practices. Democracy has not solved that problem. But we live in an evil world and no other system would produce anything better and likely worse as in Communist countries. I don't see the conservatives as much different or better than the liberals.
