    As you see this already happened. It seems very plausible that China would like to do training exercises here. It seems plausible too, that Mr. Trudeau would let them.

    As was mentioned by a caller on the Roy Green show . . . . Would the Chicago Blackhawks invite the Toronto Maple Leafs to practice with them?

    We see how wedges have been driven between people: man vs. woman, black vs. white, person vs. person (social distancing).   How long can we live among so much social tension and fear?   How do we return to a more cohesive, calmer human world?  How do we reduce the dominance of the authorities in our lives?

    The language of the left . . . . political correctness, has all but muzzled discussion.  The present Liberal govt. are masters of this tactic.  Question anything of the Liberals, and you're branded as a racist, global warming advocate, gay basher, anti-green, etc., etc.  For the most part, the academics of this country are left/far left . . . Jordan Peterson being the delightful exception, and have slowly and surely undermined free speech and thought.

    We've become a country of pussies . . . .

  3. Daughter-in-law is a health care worker in a seniors facility . . . central BC.  Her elderly patients haven't seen family or friends since March.  She's masked/covered, and hardly recognizable. She and the other health workers are the only human contact for these elderly folks. She's also overworked as other colleagues choose not to work.  Her elderly patients are alone and are in despair . . . . . and pass away.  Sad state of affairs.

    Here in BC when one goes into a restaurant they must wear a mask. When they sit down they can remove the mask and eat but when they get up again they must put the mask back on. I did not know that when one sits down they cannot spread the virus. Can anyone with an ounce of brains in their heads see that there is something really stupid and wrong with this picture? Many no doubt will not see anything wrong at all. They will think that it is just fine. I call those people trained seal dummies. An appropriate name for them. ;)

    Bonnie Henry rules BC with an iron fist . . . . people walking down the street with masks on, alone in their cars-masks on, everywhere-masked up.  Trained seals, scared rabbits, or sanctimonious monkeys . . . . . ?

    Harper did nothing to address climate change, not that Trudeau has done much better.

    As long as you're voting for the 'winning' side . . . . . you can call yourself a winner too.  Justin is your boy . . . be proud! To turn the country upside down over climate change at this time is ludicrous.  To import oil while we sit on our own, again . . . ludicrous.

    Canadians are not taught history, except about how horrible we were to natives, so I doubt one in a hundred knows anything about the Statute of Westminster.

    Was kicked out of Social Studies in high school . . . the teacher was obsessed with everything Egypt.  Asked him why we weren't learning anything about Canada, considering most of us would live, work, and pay taxes, and die here. Made the mistake of also mentioning that if I wanted to know anything about Egypt, I'd buy a postcard.  Kicked out, but made me a student of Canadian history, especially western Canada.

    Agree . . . . Dominion Day !

    He beat the crap out of Patrick Brazeau. 

    Harper never held a real job in his life. He was a founder of the new Socialist Credit Party (communist). He clearly had no education in the hard sciences and as a result, was a closet climate change denier. His only education was as an economist. Not a real degree. He had nice hair, though.

    Trudeau was a math teacher, and you may recall his teaching reporters how quantum computing works. 

    I would never vote for Trudeau if the so-called conservatives would run someone of ability against him...somebody untainted by the socialist credit/reform/communist party.

    You've lost all credibility . . . . . hoping you're well and not showing any signs of the disease from China.

    You can both trust government and challenge them, it's not hard.  In fact the system is successful because we know how to do this.

    A rather amusing statement . . . . you, using the word 'trust' in reference to the present Federal Govt.

    Your center Canadian definition of unity is 180 degrees from what is really happening in western Canada.

    "Tories working to build trust with Asian power, defence minister says"

    Now I wasn't a fan of Harper.  I didn't think he was evil, of course, because he wasn't.  He had a vision for Canada that I didn't share but I felt he was working for my interests and those of all Canadians, albeit in a way I didn't agree with.

    My reaction when I see a story like that is... "hmmm.  That's strange.  I wonder why they're doing that.  There must be some advantage that I don't understand, because I don't have a career as a military strategist"

    Now... fast forward seven years, make it Trudeau and the reaction from some is "I HATE HIM.  HE IS AN IDIOT.  HE IS DOING THIS TO DESTROY CANADA"

    This is what politics is today.  People are making it personal, and can't imagine those at the highest levels and business and government doing things different from how they do, ie. in a pluralistic framework, for complex and unknown reasons etc. etc.

    The answer is for us to explain to our cohorts that Trudeau, Scheer, Singh, all of them are not like us, but they're not necessarily evil.  And we as citizens don't know everything - we have to put our trust in them, that's just how it works.

    Your above post must be the longest in your history . . . 

    Pearson, Mulroney, Chretien, Harper . . . . some of many.  I may have disagreed with their policies or vision, but at the end of the day or the end of their term, there was the satisfaction that they'd had the best interests of Canada at heart.  That their vision of Canada was to bring as much unity as possible for the good of all citizens, and the country was relatively undamaged by their term at the helm.

    Do you feel this way now/anymore/ever with the present Federal Govt.?  Do you think that the morale (pre-Covid) of the Canadian citizen has been damaged by inept Federal leaders?  That Canada can ever have a sense of unity again?

    Only a moron would exempt a given race from wearing masks, abiding by hunting and fishing regulations, common law punishment for crimes committed, paying G&S tax on items delivered to reserve, prosecution for criminal trespass on private property, illegal rail and roadblocks, etc., etc., etc. . . . . . 

    And yes, the goal of separating people into different identity tribes and pitting them against one another is well underway, and is certain to increase the amount of dislike between the groups.

    This country is cooked . . . . done to a T

     

  11. BC's Premier Horgan talking tough . . . . . collection agencies going after unpaid Covid-distancing fines.  Maybe the offending unemployed father of four who hugged his kids and bending Bobble-head Bonnie's decree will get tossed into cells where social distancing is strictly monitored.

    Swat teams roaming the neighborhoods on Christmas Day . . . . . can anything be more festive than that?

    In fact the lockdown is not needed, it is of no help to anyone.  It  has strained our health system, burdened our economy, killed our elderly, turned us into a sedentary society and divided into groups of haters that confront each other in the street. It has caused us to shun our neighbours who we regard  virus incubators,  likely to cause our demise. The actions of our government would be criminal if we could prove intent. I personally think that they couldn't even spell the word, even if you gave them a dictionary, and opened it to the appropriate page.

    How's China doing these days.  Never hear anything from their pathological govt.  Turn loose some concocted pathogen and watch the rest of the world stagger.  Who knows for sure.

    Final B.C. election count sees NDP win 57 seats, BC Liberals 28, Greens 2

    Like I wrote..............not a hope in hell of winning.  If I were from TO how would it be possible for me to vote in our provincial election??? sheesh

    Sarcasm is lost on you. Toronto refers to your mind-set , , , , sunrises and sets on Toronto. Nothing else matters.

    As long as you spend your vote on a winning side . . . . I guess again, nothing else matters.

    Those are fair comments with masks and I agree with some of them. Although, wearing a mask that is not 100% full proof is much better than not wearing one.

    Do you agree with taxme and his conspiracy theories in regards to COVID being a hoax?

    Why are you so worried about what other people think . . . . . try thinking for yourself.  You expect everyone to think like you do, then publicly whine about it when there's a different opinion than yours.

    Your leader will tell you what to do.  Don't vary from his plan.  Be happy  . . . if that's possible.

    Yes I'll be there along with most Canadians, to get my shot, because like most Canadians we are done with this virus and want to get back to some what normal life. And if that means getting a needle then I'm willing to do that. 

    And if you and your friends don't want to play then good on ya..... 

    Do as you please . . . .

    Look, I don't make the rules, and if you think you and others are going to take on the government that's up to you, but don't be delusional and think that the government is not going to make you comply some how. Not by forcing you physically, your going to ask for your shot . . . . 

    There is always going to be something that you guys don't like . . . ."I'm not doing this or that." 

    Give'r I say, because it's you flexing some sort of inter-net muscles, but in the long run, you and your posse will line up like the rest of us to get jabbed in the arm.

    Well, you stand in line and do as you're told . . . . get the vaccine, the bar code tattoo, the wallet card, and whatever it is that your leader tells you to do.  Be proud!  Shout down others that have questions about your unwavering compliance, the intelligence of your leader, or the complete 'sand-bagging' of this country.  You are the perfect citizen. Again, be proud . . . . and do as you're told.
