Yes and many of us will be watching closely to see what Carney does. I don't have a lot of confidence that he will reverse the unfair laws that harm the energy industry and reverse other bad liberal laws.

Honestly, I think you are lacking in knowledge of how the system works. PP was elected as the leader of the Conservative Party. He will remain as their leader unless the party decides to make a change. His record as leader of the party has been excellent. He brought the party at one point to 15 or 20% ahead of the Liberals in popularity. He will not hold a seat in Parliament for the time being as he did not win the seat. But, if the party or an MP decides, an MP could step down to create a vacancy for him to run in and if he wins the seat, then he could resume to be the representative of the party in the House of Commons. That is how the system works. So it is childish to question his leadership of the Conservative Party. He is still their leader and has done an excellent job. However, we can understand you as a liberal trying desperately to find anything to be critical about. You lost on this one.

We need to build many mental institutions and start committing mentally ill people who have interactions with the police and the mental health department. It is time to put the protection of society first and stop this madness of allowing dangerous offenders to go out and kill eleven people at a time and seriously injure another twenty. As it is, authorities are releasing dangerous offenders such as the Greyhound bus passenger who decapitated the guy sitting next to him and was later released. Who can predict the future as to what these people might do? Nobody; not the best psychiatrists or doctors or committees can predict what a mentally unstable person will do if they are released. It is impossible. The so-called not criminally responsible (NCR) defence should be abolished as well. Stop this madness and bring back true justice. Canada is sending the wrong message to would be killers that they can get away with anything they wish. Stop the beheadings, the car rammers, the stabbings and assaults. Bring back capital punishment for murder without an escape hatch. Put fear into the equation.

There is only one OP thread with the main subject being about Canada's faulty compassionate approach to mental health. We know you don't like it being pointed out as the failure it is.

You're lying. There is no 20 threads about the same subject. Go wash your mouth out with soap.

I assumed he was arrested but I could be wrong. He could have been picked up by police and taken into there office. I am just going by what I heard on the news and don't remember the exact details. However that is not important. The thing is he had numerous interactions with police and mental health. He should have been put in a mental health facility. It's that simple. No I don't receive the newspaper. I heard the reports on television news. The fact that he had numerous interactions with police and mental health should tell you something is not right. The guy should not have been left free with mental problems

Perhaps I heard that on the news. An arrest could mean an interaction with police. You said no charges were laid. So, he had numerous interactions with police and mental health. Why wasn't he put in a mental health hospital? Do you even concern yourself about the 11 people that were killed and around 20 injured? You sound more interested in defending the guy who killed them. Maybe you need help.

News reports.

I never said he had a criminal record. I said he had numerous interactions with police and mental health authorities.

Apparently you don't know anything about it. You are in denial.

The news reports say he was. They didn't give the dates.

Not because of the Liberals, but in spite of them trying to kill the energy industry. We could be doing a lot better if he didn't have the Liberals.

You don't understand politics. PP actually led his party into a 10 to 20% lead up the time of the Trump tariffs and led to Trudeau being replaced. PP led the Conservative Party to a gain of about 25 seats which is a large gain. The only reason he lost was because of the Trump threats which was election interference. The people fell for the claim that Carney would be the better choice to deal with Trump. Trump helped Carney win and perhaps Trump thinks he will get more out of the Liberals.

Dumb comment. PP lost his seat but that has nothing to do with it. He still did a fantastic job.

You are lying again. I never said lock them all up. There are many who have been repeatedly arrested and released that should not have been on the loose. You know that. Why don't you admit it? Like the guy that just killed eleven people and injured at least 20 more.

Except you forgot almost all of the oil goes to the U.S. and they blocked new pipelines so we could not increase shipping oil overseas with the exception of a limited amount through the Trans Mountain Pipeline. Eastern Canada imports oil from other countries.

Canada closed mental institutions years ago and released most of the mental health patients into society in the naive belief that communities would take care of them. It never happened. And in the case of the Vancouver car ramming of the Filipinon celebration on Saturday, eleven people were killed and at least twenty people seriously injured. It could have been avoided because this offender had numerous interactions with police and mental health authorities yet was not involuntarily committed. "If the suspect, Kai-ji Adam Lo, 30, is found not criminally responsible and sentenced to psychiatric care, instead of prison, he will be institutionalized, like he should have been in the first place. In this case, the outcome of our more “compassionate” approach to mental health is disturbing." Car ramming suspect should have never been free in the first place | National Post

If that is true, tell us why the Liberals killed the Energy East pipeline and the Northern Gateway Pipelines projects and brought in the no more pipeline law, C69? Also banned tankers on the BC north coast and put net zero caps on the energy industry as well as carbon taxes.

You have things backwards. It is the Liberals who blocked pipeline projects, blocked the export of natural gas to Europe and other places, delayed resource development, and put taxes and excessive regulations on industry and business. If you want the economy to really grow, you voted for the wrong party.

We will see whether Carney and the Liberals reverse the previous ten years of Liberals blocking resource development and preventing Canada from achieving its full potential. It often takes 15 years for a resource project to be approved. The energy industry is crucial to the prosperity of Canada. We need pipelines to do that. Forcing Canadians to buy EVs instead of gas vehicles is wrong for many reasons, one being it is a form of authoritarianism or Marxism. The idea that government knows best instead of the people and private industry is Orwellian. We don't need that. It could be a harbinger of coming authoritarian control of what people say on social media or speak in society as well.

The question now is will Carney and the Liberals reverse their grotesque Marxist policies brought in by Trudeau and Guilbeault such as the anti Alberta, anti oil and gas sector laws, no more pipeline legislation (C69)? Will they reverse their soft-on-crime, catch and release legislation and stop the mayhem in the streets caused by dangerous offenders? Will they reverse their Marxist no more gas vehicles by 2035 legislation? The economy and cost of living are still major issues. If Liberals don't reverse course there could be a serious threat to the continued existence of Canada as one nation. It's all in Carney's hands now. He should realize many Canadians supported the "stop the carbon tax" movement and oppose the Marxist agenda of the Liberals and the only reason Carney was elected was because of the threats from Trump. Conservatives were 10 to 20% ahead in the polls until Trump began his threats and Carney replaced Trudeau. Is that the only thing supporting Carney now? He better start thinking about the failed Liberal laws and policies. The love of hockey and fear of Trump may not be enough to ensure Canada's future.

You epitomize why we don't let holy men run things. I did a search to see what the Bible has to say about murder and justice. There is nothing that I could see that gives any consideration to a murderer's mental condition. In other words I am not aware of any kind of special consideration called NCR. quote Bible verses related to Punishment For Murder from the King James Version (KJV) by Relevance Romans 12:19 - Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Genesis 9:6 - Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man. Leviticus 24:17 - And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death. Exodus 20:13 - Thou shalt not kill. Exodus 21:12 - He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death. Numbers 35:30-31 - Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person to cause him to die. (Read More...) Matthew 5:21 - Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: Romans 13:1-14 - Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. (Read More...) Matthew 26:52 - Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. John 8:3-11 - And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, (Read More...) 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. Genesis 9:5-6 - And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man. (Read More...) Numbers 35:31 - Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death. unquote Nothing at all about a not criminally responsible defence. It appears that is purely an invention of liberals in the recent times. Of course judges have always had the discretion of giving sentences based on all the facts at their disposal. But that is not the same as an NCR law that defines how a criminal trial will be conducted and forcing the trial to operate in a certain way depending on alleged mental state of an accused.

First I don't claim to be holy. I am a sinner but I am saved by God's grace and try to avoid sin. God is Holy. You need to read the King James Bible and learn what holy or holiness means. Jesus Christ was Holy because he is God. If more people let Jesus Christ be their Lord and Savior perhaps the world would not be in such a mess, at least in those areas where believers live and have some influence over government. All of the following are examples of what could be called Holy Moments in a person' life. But one must first believe in Jesus Christ. That is the bottom line to all these examples. Prayer must be to God through Jesus Christ. " Examples of Holy Moments: Begin each day with a short prayer of gratitude, thanking God for giving you another day of life. That’s a Holy Moment. Offer the least enjoyable tasks of your day to God as a prayer for someone who is suffering. That’s a Holy Moment. Control your temper, even if you are fully justified in losing it. That’s a Holy Moment. Get honest with yourself about your self-destructive habits. That’s a Holy Moment. Tell God you trust he has a great plan for you and your life. That’s a Holy Moment. There are an infinite number of examples one could find that describe what a holy moment would look like if you wanted to. God is holy because he exemplifies love, mercy, truth, and justice and many other qualities. I admit I am far from holy, but all Christians should be constantly striving to be like Christ in their lives. I admit patience is often a challenge. Many of us struggle with patience. I need more patience I will admit.

You use the concept of holy in a kind of disparaging way which sounds like it came from the Devil. You need to investigate the word holy and learn something about it. The opposite of it would be unholy or evil. Do you support evil? I would rather have men ruling who respected the commands of God and righteousness, rather than opposing things of God or his teachings. The countries that have ungodly or unholy rulers have not ended well. They rule by using evil much like Hitler, Stalin, and Chairman Mao. Those would be examples of what is unholy. Glad you are not running things.
