And Ethics violations make someone personally profit. Ethics violations are corruption. You may use euphemism, but corruption is corruption. It is criminal.

Yet, corruption is a chargeable offense, criminally.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the return of Blasphemy laws and courts! We are a civilized country and made the choice to return to such societal advancements for many reasons, the most important one being to protect the word of Mohammed and make sure no one hurts the souls of the Ummah and offends the true word of Allah. Please, do not offend your fellow Muslim brother or sister, and watch your mouth. It's for progress. In the next episode of Canada is becoming a backward sh*thole, Witch Hunts!

He can laugh all he wants, he will still be the butt of the joke for two reasons. The first one is the most obvious; corruption is a crime, and defending it publicly is quite comical. It's like someone advocating for murder and then laughing at people for saying we should prosecute murderers. Worse, he's actually a victim of the corruption. His taxes go in the pockets of those who steal us. He's, in sort, the only chicken in the factory ready to be cut up in pieces advocating for KFC. The second one is that History remembers the losers of a public debate or a conversation. ExFlyer has no clue that most people don't support the Liberals indiscriminately of what they do. Abuses of power have many consequences, and his party of predilection had less than 20% of the vote only a decade ago.

Have you made a semblance of coherence pertaining to this thread? You haven't objected any points any member came forward with to this discussion. Once again, why are you defending the status quo, which is basically that criminal investigations are avoided, and in place, we get a committee funded $6.5M a year giving blames, sometimes, to literal corrupt politicians in our federal government?

The work doesn't go on if no investigations are done, plus the Ethics Committee is extremely preposterous for all the reasons I gave in my last posts. Why are you so keen on defending corruption?

Yes of course, but also the results of why this ethics committee doesn't work is that it makes sure the government officials are not targetted by criminal investigations, but rather by an ethics committee which sole power is to give blames, rather than criminal records and prison sentences. The ethics committee has a budget of... $6.5 million a year. It is a big, fat joke. This ethics committee was designed in the 2000s, and unfortunately missed the target completely, or else, missed on purpose to grant quasi-immunity for the federal government from criminal investigations regarding corruption which are called 'ethics violations'.

A person cheats because it is allowed systematically too, usually. If you are not punished for a criminal act, or if the punishment is just a blame with nothing else, you are actually encouraged to do the same criminal act once more. Corruption and breaches of ethics are to criminal justice just as frauding a credit card to an individual is. Why wouldn't it be the RCMP and other police authorities that do criminal investigations instead of an ethics committee that do investigations with no real power in the case of politicians? If you steal someone, you go to jail if you're a citizen, or you at least get a criminal record. If you steal the common pot as a government official, you get a 'blame' that nobody cares about. The committee clearly does not work, it was a bad idea from the get go. We should have criminal investigations only to address corruption, nothing else.

Uhmmm may you answer this, then, mr. I-don't-care-about-corruption?

Between February and August of this year, the position of Ethics Commissioner was left vacant by the current Federal Government; https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/ethics-commissioner-vacant-1.6937225 It begs the question; has it changed anything to have no ethics commissioner during those 6 months? Would a lack of ethics, including corruption scandals and literal abuses of power, warrant a criminal investigation rather than a blame by an ethics commisioner? Today, French Canadian CBC (Radio-Canada) reveals a scandal from again a Ministry of Francois-Philippe Champagne, a potential bomb for the Liberals. You may use Google Translate for the link below, the Google Translation gives a good translation of the story. https://ici.radio-canada.ca/info/long-format/2022798/enregistrement-isde-fonctionnaire-champagne-denonciation Should this story be investigated by the police, or by the Ethics Commission, in your opinion?

Ok you got severely confused here by your ignorance. What is the G7? How does it differ from the concept of Europe? --- 1. Productive assets are assets that contribute to grow wealth, generate income, create value. 2. I'm not going to, because it doesn't exist. And your point was that there was no conspiracy involving capitalism, you have to prove that. Your take is borderline naive. This is the most preposterous thing I've read in a while except from the guy who said Quebec was partaking to this day in ethnic cleansing. I think we should be grateful here in Canada, with our lower incomes, higher rent/housing and all our economic woes. Great results that you're cheerleading for.

They maintained at record lows the interest rates for a decade thus inflating the demand. They are a huge part of the issue, conjugated with misgovernance by the Liberals and their goals to push for 100 million people in Canada by 2100.

@ExFlyer https://www.landingrealty.ca/articles/G7-average-house Please use Google. I shouldn't have to give you a source to tell you the Sun's hot. 1. There's a substantial difference between having productive assets... and hoarding, limiting the supply while increasing the demand. 2. Capitalism is used and also abused as a means for many wealthy people to crush the working/middle class. Yes, wealthy people conspire to make sure they stay at the top. It is not new, it's why communism was so prevalent in the last century; abusers went too far many times in the History of mankind. FDR was right to institute legislation to make sure its abuses were mitigated by legislation.

That's almost all of it. We have the least amount of housing per capita of the G7, and increasing the demand drastically through mass immigration (legal or not) never seen in our country has caused soaring prices in every province. If you shut the valve of mass immigration, the prices of real estate go down. It happened at first during the first months of COVID in 2020 when Trudeau shut down any air travel to Canada, then the price went back up with the lowest interest rates in our history and a massive immigration increase in 2021 and 2022 (still ongoing this year).

My fellow Democrats... I told you so. https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/25/politics/mike-johnson-speaker-nominee/index.html Mike Johnson is way more ideological than McCarthy.

1. Why is real estate becoming an asset? Because with the policy the federal government is going for, we are having much more demand than supply. Increasing drastically the numbers immigration wise while not loosening up regulations or forcing with federal laws the creation of more housing is increasing the price of housing. It's on purpose. And investors are cashing in on it. 2. Yes.

The number of new housing projects is going down, and many projects that were ongoing are cancelled. The number of immigrants and foreigners who are here temporarily is at an all-time high. Supply and demand. There is a big conspiracy or arrangement against the working/middle class to bring the price of housing up, so that people work more hours to pay their rent/mortgage.

It's a Western phenomenom. It's not just Canada, it's all the Western countries. This is a threat to the stability of western civilization as a whole. And if the stability of our nations is in jeopardy, the world will look nasty.

This article is a farce. They do not even mention what was said by her. It just accuses the attitude of the councillor, without mentionning any detail. It is pure defamation, and the person who wrote this article should pay a hefty amount to the councillor. Coming back to the councillor, what did she do, actually? Another journalist had to do the work, I quote; Advocating for removal of pride flags? HOMOPHOBE, TRANSPHOBE, WE NEED TO STEAL YOUR MONEY TO MAKE YOU UNDERSTAND HOW TO ACT. This is preposterous, and when this kind of power abuse will be done by Conservatives in the future, which will arrive soon enough, the Left will play the victims, as they will suffer the consequences of the power abuse they made a precedent.

I made this thread a few weeks ago; https://repolitics.com/forums/topic/46525-a-60-day-prison-sentence-for-calling-an-activist-a-fat-lesbian-in-switzerland/ In Switzerland, an activist was given a 60 day prison sentence for calling another activist a fat lesbian. I made the conclusion that a similar case were to happen in Canada in the future, because we've got power hungry freaks here as well. There are lots of censorship activists in the Western World at large who want to restrict freedom of the press, freedom of expression. They really want 'experts' (those who parrot their views) to be the only ones able to speak. I'd like to know more about what the two fellas in Calgary said while in public transit, and if they were agressive toward someone in particular, or if that's just because they had the wrong opinion according to the Left. If that's the latter, it's extremely concerning, but I wouldn't be suprised. Precedents made during COVID are meant to last.

That's quite a bizarre take coming from you, but we're quite habituated. You promoted western intervention against the iranian regime, saying that Islam was the worse cancer the persian civilization had to endure, yet you're saying that Zionism is worse than everything.

Antisemitism has no side politically.

Something about this conflict is very telling. The Israeli side has nukes. It has hundreds of jets, worth several billions, one of the best artillery and armoured vehicles on the planet. Not just in the Middle East, but in the World. If Israelis really wanted to be genocidal maniacs, there would be no more Palestine or even Jordan. The same couldn't be said about the Palestinians, or even Arabs in the region. Given they have the same military advantage Israel holds, they would use it to do what Hamas did 2 weeks ago, on a massive scale.

My previous college peers that I still held contact with after I left uni, even those who are studying political science, are absolutely oblivious when it comes to History, or politics. Ironically, a Master's student in politics I knew didn't know the year of the creation of Canada. She lived in Quebec almost all her life and didn't know anything about Quebecor which is the biggest media holder in the province. So when it comes to knowledge about a country 10 000km away from us, she was totally ignorant. But she was happy to march for BLM, even though she's White and has a total of 0 Black friends. She also cut an inch of her hair last year for Iran and posted it on her Instagram, just because reasons. But when it comes to Israel-Palestine, especially after what happened on October 7th... Silence.

Augmenter les fonctionnaires de 9% en 5 ans quand tu t'ocroies une hausse de 30%, c'est pas mal insultant.
