Except it was all a lie. Health care is not really universal. Some get a degree of health care if they happen to be among the number that get a family doctor. Millions of others have no family doctor and little chance of ever getting one. Millions wait on waiting lists for ages for specialized care. Thousands never get it in time and die on waiting lists every year. Some "universal care". More like universal lack of care. So much for Canadian Socialism.

You are sad. Obviously a blind cult follower.

You must have lost your mind in your hate of Christianity. There is no comparison between so-called "Christian Nationalism" and Islamism. quote A Christian nationalist is someone who believes that a nation should be defined by Christianity, with laws, policies, and cultural norms reflecting Christian values. Definition and Core Beliefs Christian nationalism is an ideology that merges Christian religious beliefs with national identity, asserting that a country—most commonly the United States—is fundamentally a Christian nation and should remain so in law, culture, and governance. Advocates believe that Christianity is integral to the nation’s character and that government should promote or enforce Christian principles. This goes beyond personal faith, aiming to shape public policy, education, and social norms according to specific Christian doctrines. Britannica+1 Political and Social Goals Christian nationalists often support policies such as: Displaying Christian symbols in public spaces Incorporating Christian teachings in public school curricula Outlawing or restricting abortion Opposing same-sex marriage and LGBTQ+ rights Restricting immigration from non-Christian countries Promoting laws that reflect conservative Christian moral values 2 The ideology seeks to privilege Christianity in the public square, sometimes at the expense of pluralism and religious freedom for non-Christians. .unquote I don't see a problem with Christian Nationalism. It would certainly be far better than the mess we have now, which seems to be getting worse. I would not restrict religious freedom of people of other religions. I just would not agree with allowing immigrants or refugees of other religions to become citizens. Allowing them to immigrate and become citizens has proven to be a huge mistake. Canada is a mess and it doesn't appear it will change. People keep voting for the liberals and left which are bent on wrecking this country.

Just mailed a small donation to Conservatives. I think a little money speaks louder than a lot of talk on social media.

Question. Was it the Liberals plan to have Asians take over all fast food businesses? They suceeded.

The fact is unless Canadians stop voting for Liberals and NDP, Canada will continue to decline. We have not been able to take advantage of all the natural resources we have in this vast country because of Liberal laws, policies, and taxes such as carbon taxes on corporations. Canada will not change and improve if people keep voting based on personality. We know Carney has a nice personality and that appeals to millions of voters. But if their policies are not right, it is not going to help Canada. Things will continue to get worse unless Canadians change their way of thinking.

Sadly this has been the situation in Canada for years. The Liberals have saddled Canada with regulations, red tape, carbon taxes, net zero objectives, and FN negotiation requirements. This has pushed Canada into the mud while the rest of the world is desperate for our natural resources. The BC NDP has done the same sort of thing. This is what John Rustad says on Facebook, MLA and former leader of the B.C. Conservative Party. He has it right. quote As the Iran Crisis Shakes Energy Markets, Canada & B.C. Misses the Moment British Columbia keeps watching investment walk out the door at the exact moment the world is scrambling for reliable energy. The conflict involving Iran has driven oil prices above $90 per barrel as global supply tightens and shipping routes in the Persian Gulf face disruption. Countries everywhere are looking for stable suppliers. Canada should be in a position to meet that demand. Instead, we are squandering the opportunity. First it was Nutrien, the world’s largest potash producer, announcing plans to build a major export terminal in Washington State instead of British Columbia. Now Canadian Natural Resources Limited has delayed an $8.25-billion oil sands expansion because governments still have not clarified the rules around carbon pricing and methane regulations. This pattern is becoming familiar. Major companies look at the regulatory landscape in Canada and choose to wait, scale back, or move their investments somewhere else. Every time that happens, British Columbia loses jobs, economic growth, and revenue that our province desperately needs. The delayed oil sands project would add 150,000 barrels of oil per day to Canada’s energy supply. Projects of this scale generate enormous economic activity across western Canada. They also help solve another problem Canada continues to face: we are forced to sell much of our oil at a discount because we lack sufficient access to global markets. Canadian heavy crude, commonly priced under Western Canadian Select, often sells $10 to $25 per barrel below global benchmarks because our export options remain limited and producers rely heavily on U.S. refineries instead of reaching world markets. That discount alone can cost the Canadian economy $15 to $30 billion per year. In addition to the gracious energy discount we are also seeing jobs left left off the table. A new export pipeline from Alberta to the B.C. coast, combined with expanded oil production, would support 15,000 to 25,000 construction jobs and an additional 30,000 to 60,000 indirect jobs in engineering, manufacturing, trucking, and services. Thousands of those jobs would exist here in British Columbia through pipeline construction, port development, marine shipping, environmental services, and heavy equipment contracting. Just as importantly, expanding export capacity would allow Canadian energy to reach global buyers and reduce the discount that currently drains billions of dollars from our economy every year. Energy exports moving through B.C. ports support longshore workers, tug operators, terminal staff, and countless small businesses that depend on industrial activity. Large energy infrastructure projects can contribute $10 to $20 billion annually to Canada’s GDP once they are operating. British Columbia captures part of that value through employment, port activity, and government revenue. Instead, investment keeps slowing down. The delay announced by Canadian Natural Resources Limited reflects growing uncertainty created by federal policy. Ottawa continues to layer on new requirements for the oil and gas sector, including carbon pricing rules, methane regulations estimated to cost the industry about $15 billion, and a proposed emissions cap that hangs over future investment decisions. Many of these same projects already plan to invest billions in carbon capture and emissions reduction technology. Those investments add enormous costs to development. Companies are being asked to spend billions to capture and reduce emissions while still paying an industrial carbon tax on top of those costs. That raises a simple question: if companies are investing heavily in carbon capture to reduce emissions, why are they still being charged a carbon tax for producing energy? Canada’s competitors face none of these costs. Major producers in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Russia do not operate under carbon taxes or emissions caps. They sell their oil and gas into global markets at full price because they don't have to use other counties energy corridors. Provincial policy also plays a role. Regulatory timelines in British Columbia remain long and unpredictable, and major projects face constant legal and political challenges even after years of review. A clear example is the proposed propane export expansion at the Ridley Island Propane Export Terminal near Prince Rupert. The project would expand Canada’s ability to export propane to global markets and support jobs in northern British Columbia, yet it now faces legal challenges and delays from several Indigenous groups despite already operating and providing economic benefits to the region. Investors watch these situations closely. When projects that have already gone through approvals still face years of uncertainty, companies conclude that British Columbia is too risky for major investment and move their capital to jurisdictions where governments provide clear rules and predictable timelines. Indigenous Nations must be part of development in British Columbia. Consultation matters and partnership matters. Many Indigenous communities across western Canada already participate directly in energy projects, pipelines, and infrastructure developments. Those partnerships create jobs, generate revenue for communities, and provide long-term economic stability. That model works when governments focus on agreements and practical outcomes. Unfortunately, Premier David Eby has done more damage to Indigenous negotiations than any government I have witnessed. His handling of issues such as the Cowichan Tribes v. Canada claims and the ongoing uncertainty around the Musqueam Indian Band new water rights deal that his government wasn't consulted on creates instability, and endless legal battles. Instead of resolving disputes and creating certainty, this government has pushed more decisions into the courts and allowed negotiations to spiral into conflict. That approach fuels division and delays investment. At a time when British Columbia faces a $13.3-billion deficit, the public has very little patience for endless legal uncertainty and court challenges that stall projects for years. The Supreme Court of Canada has been clear on this issue. Indigenous communities have the right to consultation and accommodation. They do not have a veto over development. Major infrastructure projects that serve the broader public interest cannot be permanently blocked through endless litigation. British Columbians deserve a government that welcomes investment instead of pushing it away. Instead, we have an NDP government that has become politically incapacitated when it comes to economic development. Premier David Eby built his career as a protest activist. He seems to carry that same mindset into government. That approach might work on a university campus. It does not work when you are responsible for running a provincial economy. The reality is simple. The private sector funds the public sector. Businesses create the wealth that pays for hospitals, schools, roads, and public services. The economy does not run on government press releases or policy announcements. It certainly does not run on Starbucks coffee and press conferences in downtown Vancouver. Yet the government behaves as if investment will appear regardless of the policies they impose. Their latest budget proves the point. British Columbia now faces a $13.3-billion deficit, the largest in our history. That deficit stands as a direct indictment of how this government thinks the economy works. The NDP continues to treat the private sector as an afterthought while layering regulations, taxes, and uncertainty onto the industries that actually generate revenue. This is not economic leadership. It is champagne socialism, the belief that government spending somehow creates wealth while the businesses that fund that spending are pushed further out of the province. British Columbia needs a government that understands a basic fact: if investment leaves, the jobs leave with it. When billions of dollars in projects move to the United States or sit idle because companies no longer trust our regulatory environment, the cost appears in lost opportunities, weaker growth, and deficits that future generations will be forced to carry. unquote

Lies. Get off the hate wagon.

This is not an illegal alien. What's the matter with you?

Facts are pretty hard to ignore fella. Why do you support cruelty?

What else is new? quote U.S. district Judge Gary Brown of the Eastern District of New York has blasted ICE's detainment of an honors student who was swept up in a raid despite his Special Immigrant Juvenile (SIJ) status. Honduran national Hester Asaf Garcia Lanza, who came to the U.S. at age 9, lived and worked lawfully in the U.S. for years under the SIJ status before being arrested in an ICE/DHS sweep. Despite his legal certifications, removal proceedings were initiated and his deferred action and work authorization were revoked. Even after the court set terms of Garcia Lanza's release after discovery of his legal status, ICE imposed additional unsanctioned conditions and DHS piled on with a hefty fine to offset his illegal apprehension. Brown’s outrage at those actions was clear in his ruling. “This isn’t how things are supposed to work in America,” Brown wrote. The judge has been a staunch defender of immigrant rights, but was particularly incensed by this situation in his ruling. He cited the arrest of Garcia Lanza without a judicial warrant or legitimate basis for detaining someone with SIJ status who has no criminal record as particularly egregious. Calling the government agency actions “unimaginable cruelty,” Judge Brown wrote, "The laws of human decency condemn such villainy.” The full text of Brown’s order has not been published, but the available filings show Brown said DHS was found in violation of statutory and constitutional protections. He also ordered that Garcia Lanza’s SIJ status be restored, and that he be either released or provided a bond hearing. Brown’s order will have an impact for others being detained despite lawful immigration status or statutory protections like SIJ status. It underscores that the executive branch cannot override basic constitutional and statutory safeguards, including proper warrants and respect for SIJ protections. unquote Trump-appointed judge trashes administration for 'unimaginable cruelty'

Doubtful! He has been stripped of much of his status and is losing all along. I doubt he would qualify. You are grasping for straws. It is easy to make up hypothetical claims, but they don't exist and never did

I assume you're referring to some point in history. I would say all of history about the monarchy and how we came to the system we have today is fascinating. Since there are many safeguards we are better off than most countries. I would say leave well enough alone. We have a good system. It's not perfect. Nothing is in this corrupt world, but we are far better off than most countries.

Should posters depicting some world leaders in Nazi uniforms be considered a hate crime? I suppose the answer will depend whether you support the subject or oppose him will determine your answer. But the question is not whether you are a supporter of the individual or not. The basic question is what constitutes freedom of expression or freedom of speech? These posters were posted in a pub in Australia and police came in and removed them entirely based on a complaint from some individual. I believe these posters, which you can see in this link below, are a form of satire or political expression. We have often seen satirical pictures of political figures in our country and there are no police seizures or charges. What is going on in Australia? Is this the future? Australia Police seize posters depicting Trump in Nazi uniform Here is how satire is defined. sat·ire [ˈsatʌɪə] noun satire (noun) satires (plural noun) the use of humour, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues: "the crude satire seems to be directed at the fashionable protest singers of the time" I believe satire in words or picture form has always been used in Canada in the media or written form and has always been legal. I could be wrong, but in politics, it is an established form of freedom of expression I believe.

quote Today we will talk about bible verses about God judging nations. Many Christians do not know what this means. The concept of God’s judgment on nations is a significant theme throughout the Bible, reminding us that God holds nations accountable for their actions. Each nation is shaped not only by its leaders but also by the collective actions and attitudes of its people. God desires righteousness and justice, and when nations stray from His ways, they may face His judgment. As we explore these verses, let’s keep our hearts open to God’s message, reflecting on how it applies to us today. We will see that while God is loving and merciful, He is also just and righteous. Be on the mode of meditation as we read through God’s word. Bible Verses About God Judging Nations Divine Accountability In understanding the concept of God judging nations, we see that accountability is a key theme. Just as we hold one another accountable in our personal lives, God holds nations accountable for their actions. Every decision made at the national level can impact millions of lives, and God cares deeply about justice and righteousness. As His people, we need to reflect on how we can contribute to a society that aligns with His values. These verses remind us that nations are not above accountability and that God’s judgment is an expression of His love for order and righteousness in the world. Psalm 96:13 “Let all creation rejoice before the Lord, for he comes, he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in his faithfulness.” – Psalm 96:13 Isaiah 5:20 “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!” – Isaiah 5:20 Jeremiah 18:7-8 “If at any time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be uprooted, torn down, and destroyed, and if that nation I warned repents of its evil, then I will relent and not inflict on it the disaster I had planned.” – Jeremiah 18:7-8 Micah 6:8 “He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” – Micah 6:8 Matthew 12:36 “But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken.” – Matthew 12:36 unquote 30 Powerful bible verses about god judging nations (Full Commentary) - Bible Study For You

Canada has a history of falling further into decadence, unrighteousness, and blatant violation of the teachings of God in the Bible. God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for their evil behavior. quote God judges the evil nations in the Old Testament through various means, including the use of other nations as instruments of judgment. For instance, God allowed Assyria to conquer and exile the Northern Kingdom of Israel due to its idolatry and disobedience. Similarly, God used Babylon to bring judgment upon the Southern Kingdom of Judah for its unfaithfulness. These judgments are part of a broader theme in the Bible where God demonstrates His sovereignty over history and His commitment to justice and righteousness. Bible Hub God's judgment on nations is not only a reflection of His love for order and righteousness but also a reminder of the accountability of nations for their actions. The Bible warns that nations are not above accountability and that God's judgment is an expression of His love for order and righteousness in the world. biblestudyforyou.com unquote

This could be God's judgement on Canada.

Could you give an example of what you're talking about. I don't see it in PP speaking. From what I've seen, Trump is totally different. I am not familiar with crypto. Never heard PP advocating it. But nobody is forced to get involved in crypto and I don't think the Conservative Party is advocating anybody get involved in it. At least I never heard of it. Convoys. He did support the truck convoy because it is freedom of speech and exercising the right to protest. Conservatives support individual human rights which includes freedom of protest and oppose some government over reach or authoritarianism. Freedom is liberty; the opposite is authoritarianism such as Communism. The court recently ruled Trudeau and his government broke the Constitution on that by declaring the Emergency Act. I think what PP is saying on vaccination is that they support the right of individuals to choose whether or not they should be vaccinated. I wouldn't say that is anti-vax. It is anti coercion. If someone freely chooses to be vaccinated, I don't think PP opposes that. Do we really want a Communist state where masses of people are forced to be medicated? I don't think so. This has nothing to do with Trump. It is just standing up for individual freedom of choice.

Can you describe this MAGA whiff?

Not nonsense. Did you read the posting? All you did is quote the title. The article explains it. It appears Carney and the Liberals are committed to globalism. Why else do they not send the thousands of illegal migrants who have been found non eligible for refugee status? You see the statistics. Only a tiny fraction have been deported to where they came from. It appears Carney may be trying to appease the countries they came from who of course don't want undesirables to be sent back to their countries. One reason he would not want to annoy those countries is he wants their support on the international scene and in the various international organizations he is connected with. Powerful groups like the WEF, the Vatican, and the U.N. Liberals believe Canada is a post national state as Trudeau said and is more of a globalist country where everyone is welcome. Canada even adopted the U.N. Declaration on the Rights of Aboriginal Peoples (UNDRIP) on the urging of the U.N. That should tell you something too.

Criminal migrants are not being deported back to where they came from. Why? Is it the globalist thinking in Liberals minds? "Trudeau said, to conclude the interview with the Times, "I'm excited to be on the world stage." And continued, ''I think people are starting to see that I'm actually reasonably fit for this office.'' " "Brian Mulroney, one of our nation's elder statesmen, recently offered Trudeau some wisdom: It's the job of the Canadian prime minister to look after Canada first and the rest of the world next." Trudeau's neglect of the nation has led us to this place | CBC News As PM Carney is a well-known globalist who held and may still hold major globalist positions such as in the Vatican, World Economic Forum, and other associations, it is fair to say he may think along the same lines as Trudeau as Canada's place in the world. He may not view Canada as a real sovereign nation, but more as a part of a larger U.N. global state. That means everyone in other countries within this U.N. imaginary state are all citizens of the same global entity. I see that as the main reason these criminal migrants are not being deported. It is to appease the globalist friends in those countries and demonstrate Liberal commitment to globalism or one world government. I am Groot posted this informative chart.

"In an astonishing statement to the New York Times in 2015, Justin Trudeau declared, "There is no core identity, no mainstream in Canada,'' and consequently that "makes us the first post-national state." Liberals appear to believe Canada is not a sovereign country, but belongs to the U.N. and is some kind of global state. They seem to believe Canada belongs to the rest of the world, especially the third world where most of the criminal migrants came from. Therefore they believe illegal migrants can stay here no matter what. ---------- "Trudeau said, to conclude the interview with the Times, "I'm excited to be on the world stage."

When a migrant criminal suspect claims refugee status, the minister of immigration must sign a deportation order. Maybe try reading the news article. Also the Liberal government makes the laws and policies. Thought you knew that much. Wow, back to school.

What is wrong with these liberals? A dangerous repeat offender who claimed "refugee status" is still in Canada because the Liberal immigration minister did not sign a deportation order. Why? What is wrong with these political leaders? What are they thinking? Is it something to do with who votes for Liberals? quote By the time repeat violent offender Oral Carver Lewis threatened to kill an Ontario Crown prosecutor, he had already been under a deportation order for two years. “You b–ch, I’m going to kill you,” he told her during court in January 2022. “You watch, I’m going to f–king kill you…. When I get out of jail, I’m going to kill you, Crown. I’m going to find you and kill you. I’m going to kill you the f–k.” A few months earlier, he made vulgar comments to her and pulled his pants down in court, exposing himself. It wasn’t just a threat against a woman doing her job; it was an attack on our entire justice system. Enough of these people will cause it to collapse. Indeed, Lewis should have been ejected years before, after his forays into domestic violence, robbery, armed assault, and his stack of weapon bans that never seem to deter him from racking up more weapons charges. Fast forward to 2026, and Lewis is still here. Despite the deportation order that looms over him, he’s undeportable because he is a protected person — a refugee whose asylum claim was accepted by Canadian officials. The law, as it is currently written , requires the Canada Border Services Agency to have special permission from the immigration minister to deport criminals with protected person status. No immigration minister has ever given the CBSA the green light to send Lewis home. Lewis’ case should be an easy call. Originally from the Caribbean island of St. Vincent, he came to Canada at age 33 and decided to stay. He was arrested in 2009 for working without a permit and made an asylum claim that same year. In his application, he stated that he was gay — but a court recently noted that “he denies being gay and states that he claimed being gay in order to stay in Canada.” Alas, immigration officials didn’t detect fraud, and he was granted protected person status in 2010. unquote Jamie Sarkonak: Immigration minister's refusal to deport knifepoint robber is another justice failure Yet, when there is a tragedy such as a mass shooting the liberals are all in on expressing their condolences to the victim's families and everyone else. But when it comes to the soft-on-crime laws, repeat release of dangerous offenders, easy bail, small sentences for serious crimes, or in this case, deporting criminal migrants and criminal immigrants. they have done very little or nothing to change things. There are endless examples of soft-on-crime cases. Semi driver who killed man after running through rural Manitoba stop sign sentenced to house arrest

The MAGA cult is hard a work on here trying to justify their oppression and illegality. Sexual abuse of young girls by the rich and powerful, violation of human rights of foreigners, threats to take over other countries, fake claims of election fraud, and racist portrayals of political opponents as apes. What else could the fascist MAGA cult possibly stand for?
