I don't know enough about eminent domain to be able to make an informed comparison, but I see no reason to doubt you. As far as the defense of one's property, other than the means of defense, I'm not aware of any laws in Canada that wouldn't allow me to use any reasonable force required to protect my home. Is there something specific you're referring to that I lack knowledge?

Ya some people only see in black and white, so if you don't completely agree with their personal beliefs you're automatically the enemy

I'm flattered, but as I already told you I'm not interested, I date women exclusively

I would in no way say "I know what I'm talking about",,but I do make an earnest attempt to evaluate all sides of an issue before coming to a conclusion.and in my younger days when my political philosophy was more utopic I explored. What's the Churchill quote.(I'm paraphraseing) "If you're not a socialist at 20 you have no heart, if you're still a socialist at 40, you have no brain" love that one

🥱 Take a hint son.

We agree that the ability of the government to expropriate someones land is definitely an infringement of our rights. Now the ability to defend ones self or property, I'm not sure that's in question I'm of course not referring to the ability to use a fire arm but I think that's a whole other conversation So yes on guns , not so sure about self defense. Now, freedoms Canada has the US doesn't. For the sake of this argument, if we could stick to financial freedoms not only a subject near and dear to my heart but also in my opinion a key factor in a successful capitalist society (we can widen the scope later) Agreed? Two factors I'd like to focus on are mobility and barriers of entry with social programs ie; Health care (yes it has problems but again another conversation) we have a higher threshold of risk, more ability to leave comfortable jobs and still be assured the essentials for you and your family, this also includes the ability to staff during the start up period when the ability to provide benefits can be more difficult and for mobility we can often more to other parts of the country with limited competency requirements ( of course not in all circumstances but again another conversation, man we have months of conversations to look forward to, hahaha) and not only hit the ground running but again are almost instantly covered by things like workers comp, etc... These are essential components to "freedom" (again subjective) in my opinion Thoughts?

Are you Sherlock Holmes? Got any good opium, hahaha

Again with the you people. Ya bore me Good day

You know what's sad ? I agree with almost everything you just said. The problem is and always has been with you, is you have too add in crap like I'm "peddling Marxism , instead of just having a conversation where we could exchange ideas even disagree strongly with eachother but at the same time possibly grow in our understanding of certain issues so if you do want to have a conversation, how about not calling me offensive things like pervert or Démocrate

If you think your previous interjection was an honest attempt at civil conversation, I wish you a warm and fuzzy day as well. But if you truly want to have a genuine conversation take the time to actually read my posts. I intentionally used the word aggregate as a means to identify the fact I'm aware that it's not as simple as Canada is better, it's a complex issue ( even the term freedom is subjective) with alot of nuisance. To me you're original response, negated the nuisances I included and seemed more like an attempt to score some meaningless point, if mistaken I sincerely apologize and look forward to a fruitful conversation, but the "shitty little pricks" comment makes me doubt that is your objective, as I don't believe my "google it" comment necessitated such language. Balls in your court sir.

And you failed the quiz My point is, and always has been, that when you use words that you not only don't understand but aren't applicable (in either their true meaning or even your proprietary definitions) to the people or problems you're arguing against, well you just sound foolish You've spent the last bunch of posts just calling me something I'm diametrically opposed to and even if I did agree with Karl still wouldn't be relevant to anything happening in North America today Calling Kamala a Marxist is the same as calling Trump a fascist, ignorant, lazy and deluginal

I was just curious if you even understood the insults you throw around so freely. You don't So you can read, yet I'm sure you'll just call me a Marxist again. Funny though, I'd bet money you have and will depend on the government much , much, much more than me.

There are definitely issues in Canada, lack of true property rights being one But if you noticed, I said "in the aggregate" I'll give you the time to google that, then I'll accept your apology

So predictable Exactly like I said, ignore everything I say, then just continue to make shit up. Even you have to know how pathetic you look

Do you have a crush on me? Sorry kiddo I'm straight . It's the only reason I can think that you're so obsessed with continuing a conversation with someone (that for whatever reason, you can pretend it's because I'm "scared" , when we both know it's just because you have nothing else in your life and this is the only way anyone will interact with you and since you don't and probably never had love around you, the only emotional validation you know is anger and for some reason think that if people get upset with you , you some how win ) that has no interest in speaking with you. So go play your silly juvenile games with someone else, there are plenty of people on this forum on the other side of your political "beliefs" that are as devoid of reason as you , I am someone interested only in good faith conversations and you sir don't know the meaning of the term. So for the last time, I say Good day

So angry And so full of crap

Why would a Canadian care about "freedom" in America

Yup keyboard warriors, tough as all get out behind their computers but in real life wouldn't have the balls to say a tenth of what they spew here.

Still not American pedo And in the aggregate we have more freedom (particularly financial) in Canada The rest of your post is just the unfounded nonsense you usually spout

Projection being the operative word, in my opinion it's also a reflection of people that never had any real responsibilities or decision making opertunities in their professional lives, so don't understand what it takes to be able to effectively influence someone their choices. There is also definitely some Dunning Kruger effect going on as well.

I could not have put that better

What's funny is I actually read the communist manifesto before coming to the conclusion that I thought Marxism was a ridiculous economic system. I'd bet money that you've never actually read anything on Marxism and simply regurgitate things you've heard from the likes of Tucker Carlson. So all you can do is rant like an unhinged lunatic , making assertions you not only can't support but go against everything I've ever posted here. Because you got nothing else Sad little pervert

Oh someone's got their panties in a bunch. You're definition was lacking at best but even under your failed attempt to clarify, I don't see how that applies to any policies that either of the two main parties have put forth I'm an ardent capitalist, that has built and sold two companies. I'm more a proponent of a PPP model of capitalism and I believe in regulations but I'm strongly opposed to any form of communism. Ok , now you can ignore everything I just said, go on ranting like a petulant child, whilst saying I'm the one getting mad Sad little pervert.

Son, I'm less afraid of a man with no legs in an ass kicking contest, than I am of you You rarely post anything outside your ignorant personal opinions, that often change during a conversation, you have no actual sustained political philosophy or any ability or interest to participate in good faith conversations. Or, ya boring!

Like I said boooooring Oh and that's not what I say it's some dude named Socrates , he wrote a little about argumentation. You should Google him
