I have a strong libertarian streak you are the one who thinks the solution to every problem is more government control under the idiotic assumption that more government control equals more safety you're the one who wants to control people, not me THAT'S the difference

you're just like the conservatives who want greater controls placed on drugs that you malign a giant hypocrite empowering organized crime you have no moral high ground to preach from so do us the favor of not pretending you do Canadian gun laws are far too restrictive as it is and you want more? typical Canadian gun grabber

liberals want to ban guns conservatives want to ban drugs and both prohibitions mentioned are a boon to organized crime fuck the Prohees and the horse they rode in on

How? someone else breaking it means they get no credibility points and someone would have broken it, so might as well get the credit instead of someone else especially considering the reputational hit if their competitors ever find out they sat on it folks like you will buy it SNC Lavalin couldn't have been concealed forever if it could have been, it would have the media didn't agree with your assessment and tried to cover their asses and apparently to folks like yourself they covered it well enough that they scored enough brownie points for you to think they aren't strongly biased it worked like a charm with the target audience

not if they take a bigger reputational hit being caught burying it then they would if they don't bury it then they just get out in front of the story and spin it to make it seem like less of a big deal than it is being heavily biased does not necessarily mean you bury every story you don't like regardless of circumstances that is a faulty assumption

some of the media doing their job in some instances is not proof that the mainstream media as a whole are doing a good job overall specific to general fallacy the media reported on SNC Lavalin, therefore they aren't heavily biased in Trudeau's favor does not follow obvious non-sequitur

correlation equals causation fallacy but if you want to play that game the parts of America with the most gun deaths have the least loose laws so epic fail gun control does not stop mass shootings

how did that work during prohibition? you live in a fantasy land we have laws against all sorts of things yet all the criminals aren't in jail not even close

only criminals should have guns they shouldn't have to fear that their law abiding victims might be able defend themselves with guns that will reduce crime, not incentivize it great plan

the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Ottoman Empire should not be restored and absorb the countries that used to be part of them just because those countries aren't that old and the Empire's lasted a long time by comparison the same is true of Ukraine being absorbed by Russia just because it was that way in the past, doesn't mean it should be that way in the present or future Putin is not entitled to annex areas that used to be part of Russia Hitler was not entitled to annex areas that used to be part of Germany

just because Crimea used to be part of Russia and Russians are there doesn't mean they are entitled to take it back the deaths in Ukraine are on Putin

the EU it has yet to cause or prevent any wars there is nothing about the EU that effects the occurence of war and those suggesting warfare prevention is it's main selling point are full of shit they sound just like naive wishful thinking fools who championed the warfare prevention effects of the League of Nations

the road to hell is paved with good intentions the EU does nothing to prevent wars that's just PR used to sell something that wouldn't otherwise sell on it's actual merits I'm in favor of subsidiarity and the EU does things that are better handled at the national level that is my beef with it, it's an overly centralized beaucratic mess

none of which has anything to do with the EU that's because of the Pax Americana and war weariness the EU just tries to take credit, and internationalist kool-aid drinkers like you buy it people like you thought the League of Nations would prevent another World War they were wrong then and you are wrong now

it has not prevented war between it's members just because none of it's members have gone to war correlation equals causation fallacy

the Russians are propagating war and China depends on the West to prop it up

they only care about their free speech not their competitions

Russia are the imperialist aggressors and nothing Ukraine has done justifies that you grow up

just because Anne Applebaum says it doesn't mean anyone who supports Ukraine agrees with her position plenty of people who support Ukraine do not seek regime change or want American troops in Ukraine one should not lump them together with the Anne Applebaum's of the world willy nilly

proving my point

the right knows the left better than the left knows the right

incorrect not how it works

the oath is sworn to the Crown not the nation no one owes any allegiance to Confederation by oath suck it nationalists

Canada is run by the Laurentian elites their ideology has infected every major political party in Canada and as long as all the provinces in Canada remain in Confederation that will always will be the case and that is the nation you are defending a nation that props up the Laurentian elites and enshrines the Liberal Party of Canada ideology that you claim to hate as the status quo

nope that's the Liberal Party of Canada version of nationalism that is what you are defending when you defend Canadian nationalism because that is what Canada has become and you are attacking me for wanting to do away with that
