I am in no way saying Marky Mark is without flaw. But......... Carney was the person in charge of our banks during the 2008 financial crisis, in which we got through stronger than our G7 partners, giving him a better understanding of Canadian financial systems than virtually any other human on the planet Carney ran the bank of England (the first non British born person ever) and because of the excellent job he was doing, was asked to extend his contract to help England survive Brexit even though he had previously spoken out strongly against it, allowing him the opportunity to deal with his European counterparts (most if not all have nothing but positive things to say about him) , giving him more experience in dealing with other sovereign nations than virtually any other incoming Canadian Prime Minister. These two things alone, should force any reasonable person to, at minimum afford him the respect his professional resume merits The idea that a career economist is just another "Libbie" is unfounded partisan hackery, that shows a complete detachment from reality

I lose? This is why you are often such a poor and uninteresting interlocuteur, everything with you in zero sum. People with even a small amount of experience in high level decision-making pride themselves on their abilities to find common ground amongst people of different opinions and on being able to employ a charitable interpretation of others arguments, you fail miserably on both counts. If we follow your flawed zero sum analogy, you're scoring on your own net. School boards? Really? Then you should be just as outraged with school boards banning books they don't agree with, those trying to impose religious beliefs in schools.( Ie: both Louisiana and Oklahoma requirements to post the ten commandments in classrooms . Not to mention state GOVERNMENTS trying to put creationism on the same level as evolution), but you're not are you? because you only get your dander up when it goes against your juvenile presuppositions (as an example our last conversation was about how mean and insulting Trudeau saying that the US missed an opportunity to elect a progressive woman to the presidency was, but Trump saying Canada should be a state was simply a little joke. Still think that?) Now to the topic at hand. Pew research estimates the number of trans/nonbinary population of the US to be just shy of 50'000, with a fraction of them having had any kind of gender reassignment procedures and that fraction gets even smaller for those under 18( and in conversations we've had about gun control, you have said that 17 isn't really a child) Let me be clear I don't think anyone under 18 should be subjected to any procedure that could not be reversed if they wanted, but we're taking about a group that could probably be counted on two hands. Hardly cause for the outrage expressed by the conservative "mouvement" My point was and is that this is just a way for the Republicans to divert the attention of their voters from the fact they have no real solutions. For example Trump said 10 years ago he had a better health care plan two weeks away, yet today still has nothing but a concept of a plan, Trump ran on bringing down grocery prices (amongst others) and now as prices continue to rise he has no solutions, Trump vowed to drain the swamp yet Musk, and I could go on. In conclusion, in the greater scheme of the problems facing North America the trans issue is inconsequential as it effects an extremely small percentage of people, most just because of ignorance not only of science but how it feels to them based on bigoted religious beliefs. The fact that the best you had was school boards and no actual policy makers shows that all you have is your own bigoted feelings

I agree, Jesus was a Palestinian and the Romans would have considered his little band as a terrorist group

Putting aside the what aboutism, any evidence to support this claim that there's a political movement (actual politicians) that push "kids" to be trans? Of course you don't. How many trans people do you know?

Easy, because conservatives have no real policies, so have to focus solely on trying to enflamme their voters personal feelings, because they have no real solutions for real problems. Most of the people up in arms have never even come across anyone that's transgender

Sir, it is impossible to have a serious debate with someone so obviously mentally challenged and unstable. That is why I sincerely hope that this intellectually stunted, bigoted, functionally illiterate personage you present yourself as on this forum is an act, because if it's not... Whoa Nelly!!! You should thank the stars you live in a "social democracy" (( Canada would be better described as a mixed economy aka heavenly regulated capitalism pulling from both the free market and government intervention, but make no mistake we are undoubtedly a Capitalist society, but I'm not sure you understand any of the words I just wrote )) because we all know you're going to (and probably have already) need plenty of social assistance, in the time you have left. Real quick on climate change. Read the science, I trust the doctor when I'm sick, the mechanic when my car breaks, the account to do my taxes, etc, etc,etc,etc....and not necessarily the individual but the collective knowledge of the field. Same thing for climate change and the consensus is overwhelming, to completely and utterly disagree with the science puts one on the same level as young earth creationists and flat earthers

Seriously, you're hilarious But even though I know this is just a character you're playing, I'm still not arguing science with someone so uninformed. I don't feed bears or trolls

Seriously, are you an actor? Honestly, this character you play always brings a smile.to my face. Cheers!

Non sequitur Keep going, I almost have a bingo

So none I thought as much

That's the Tu quoque fallacy You honestly speak in nothing but logical fallacies

You are an Absolutely pathetic human with zero moral fiber

Very good And both this and you have the same reasoning abilities None

You're right because none of those words apply But I'll play. Give me one actual policy from the Democrat party that is in anyway socialist. I know you won't because you're whole essence is geared toward triggering the "libs" and you're not even good at it P.S for the umpteenth time, I'm Canadian so by definition CAN'T be a Democrat. You moronic pedo

You've never taken the high road and your post proves that. I could care less about your issues, but I do take issues with putting others at risk for pure selfishness You're a blatant liar, all I said was I believe people caught driving drunk should permanently loose their privilege to drive, then you went on a vitriol rampage . The difference between you and people like deluge is they at least admit to having no morals, you pretend to then continue to suggest I'm less than because I was in foster care. You are a reprehensible piece of filth
