QuebecOverCanada

I'll give my take on the reasons; 1) Housing Crisis = I agree 100%. It is THE biggest problem we're having right now when it comes to immigration to our current levels. Prices skyrocket because of such high demand, which is artificial. If mass immigration stopped temporarily, housing would go down by a lot and it would be a good thing. 2) Strained Healthcare = I agree with that too. Immigrants can not work in Healthcare fast mostly because they come from places where the standards are much lower than here. For example, a doctor in Syria vs a doctor in Canada is a totally different world. 3) Farmland Loss = I never thought of it and don't think it's a concern, to be honest. We have vast lands and anyway we would need more indoor growing of vegetables all year round, but it's another subject. 4) Crowding of Schools = Totally. We have that problem here in Quebec, we have major shortages of teachers because of immigrants even in Quebec City. 5) Foreign Interference = That would be the case with or without immigration because we're neighbours with the most powerful nation in Earth. 6) Declining Living Standards = Yes. More supply for labour = less demand for labour = salaries go down. Add that on top of the housing crisis caused by mass immigration and you have a recipe for poverty. 7) Urban Sprawl and Densification = For that, I don't really mind. It's actually a good thing to develop. 😎 Declining Social Cohesion = Yes, although it is the case in nations all across the Globe because work alienates people. 9) Incompatible Cultural Practices = Yes, although it is something that is manageable because at least, Canada has a variety of immigrants so there's kind of a dilution that is taking place. 10) Erosion of National Identity = Same as number 9.

Requiring the websites to verify the age isn't the same thing as the status quo which is that users have to disclose their age before being able to watch porn. If it were the case that Poilievere only wanted users to disclose their age, Poilievre would have just said that the way things are done in our current day and age is fine. But it is not what's at play. What is being referred to is the same laws we saw in puritanical America, where websites have to get an ID to allow users to access the website. It is the law in some States in the South and I think it's anti-freedom on many levels. To be fair, the way the article was written is very confusing if you read it too fast. He said he doesn't believe in a Digital ID to verify the age of the users, but not that physical IDs would be used online for verification purposes. Now imagine, porn sites would have this requirement. Reddit has porn. Reddit is known as the biggest forum and one of the places where debating is taking place. Would it require an ID? What about social networks? This forum? It makes easy to establish an even bigger surveillance State. The parents can set up the router to be kids friendly. The parents can have apps with parental control. The parents can bring their kids to a sports team. It's all on the parents' onus. Not on the government.

Poilievre: "To get our economy firing on all cylinders we need to quickly process economic immigration." "We need to make it fast and simple for people to come here as refugees to get to work right away" "The Conservative Party is pro-immigration" That, and his State-sponsored porn control are the two reasons I will not vote for Poilievre in the next election.

The parental control options exist on many routers and devices, on top of browsers and apps. You don't need the government to protect your children from adult content. You just need a brain and proactivity. I would hate to live in a society in which everything is tracked by our government.

We're heading for more Internet control if Pierre Poilievre obtains majority apparently. It's super incoherent with his whole ideology of small government and limited intervention in people's lives. His whole shtick of protecting the children is also unconvincing. VPN sales are going to skyrocket in Canada. https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/conservative-government-would-require-id-to-watch-porn-poilievre-1.6777435

FYI I know a friend working in a marketing firm and what he does at work has an impact on the search engine. If you pay money to his company, they will boost your search results on Google. Many companies do that, it's very competitive, everyone wants to stay on top but can't, so you'll have discrepancies every day when you're doing research on Google in the sense of results that will pop up more.

What was extreme? To tariff China? To lower taxes to all Americans and enact lower corporate tax that had the effect to bring back corporations that were offshore? To say no to open borders? To enact a ban for individuals from problematic countries to enter the US? To make a deal between South and North Korea? To have no war for 4 years? To enact deals between Israel and Arab countries? Oh wait... I get it. He said things that were not politically correct, while the sniffer in chief that was instated back in 21 isn't able to speak a clear sentence. But hey, he loves the ice cream. Isn't he a sweet grandpa.

You might think that. I might think you care selectively about which activist dies depending on which regime. To be frank, you have no clue about the hundreds of political prisoners executed yearly in China; and I don't neither. To be totally blunt, we really don't care. The reason you care so much about Navalny is the same reason you support war against Russia; the media has told you to care. Yeah, Politkovskaia was supposed to be the nail in Putin's political career too.

No, no. I'll be very vocal myself. I don't care. I really don't, and it's fine. We don't have to care about activists in countries very far away from ours.

I did not express any support to political assassinations, far from it. Epstein didn't kill himself btw.

Oh no, he must have had an accident. Anyway, what happened to Jeffrey Epstein?

By the way, don't think I'm rubbing you in any way possible. That's kind of erotic in a way it shouldn't be. Joke aside, it's all fun and games, it's a forum.

That's the level you're at. CTV level. Keep showing us your great erudition. It's kind of a comedy.

I don't think you should be taken as an example of a member with great knowledge and that be insulting those two.

Not CTV for one. But anyway, it doesn't matter, even if you watch trash news, you will still get a glimpse of truth once and there. That's why you shouldn't have just one source of news, especially just local news.

Iranians, including thousands of women, celebrated the Iranian Islamic Revolution. It is one of those demonstrations we will have no clue about in our media, and that explains the take I have about Iran. It is a backward country with no will to become liberal.

Now I understand all your garbage takes. CTV is incredibly biased and unreliable.

Taytay worked hard to get the credit from the entire football team. Congrats to her for her event about her.

What damage will be done? He will apologize, and that's it. It can even be beneficial for him, as the woke cult adores White people who apologize on their knees. He has hundreds of millions of dollars, and people won't/will listen to him because of some racist things he said.

We all know WMD were a false pretext to enter the war. Jean Chretien and Jacques Chirac saw through the bullsh*t propaganda.

He's got his ideas of journalism from watching CNN, pardon his ignorance. Maybe he would be anti-war if the host of his morning show displayed in his old-age residence TV changed sides.

Yeah, like in the good old times, like in 2003 when all the journalists were repeating the lies about Saddam's weapons of mass destruction. Those were the time, my boy! Integrity at its finest.

I really don't care he said racist stuff, anyway, all Americans have thought or said something racist in their lives. All humans did too, even Canadians. Yes, even you who reads this, even if you pretend hypocritically that it never happened, it did. Even if you're not White, you had racist thoughts. So being angry that he said racist stuff, I don't care once again. That's not the angle to which I would approach this. What I hate about Eminem though, is all his talk about his White Privilege, how he's ashamed to be White, etc. when in reality he's got hundreds of millions in his name and does nothing to help the common man. He's not forgiving about all the commoners who slipped up, but somehow him, we would have to express our gratitude for him because he's the preacher for all the good things in the world.

This is the kind of mentality that led us (the global West) to defeat multiple times in the last 60 years, including thousands of dead soldiers on our side. Replacing dictators in the Middle East, Africa and in Asia has made the areas less safe, more prone to violence, HDI goes down systematically after each intervention. Regime change wars have proven to be totally ineffective and backfired at us multiple times, if not all the times it's been done. By the way, calling a democratically elected ex-president a dictator is incredibly stupid. Even worse, saying a sentence before that all dictators need a bullet to the head infers that you would kill Donald Trump if given the chance is extremely concerning for your mental health. For this reason, for therapy, I really wish you to express your anger at the Russians, on the battlefield in Avdviivka. Pretend they all are Donald Trumps. See how it goes. Please enrol now. I really want you to enrol for Ukraine. A journalist asks question. A political activist debates.
