Jesus is from what we now call the West Bank aka Palestine. You said people from Palestine descended from Philistines, ergo you're say Jesus was a Philistine.

Wait are you calling Jesus a Philistine? You do realize he was from what we now call Palestine right?

Don't really understand sarcasm eh? Obviously he's not a genius, he made up an entire conversation whole cloth , during an AI conference. So he's either a blatant liar, or he completely lost touch with reality

Nope, haven't thought about you at all. I've been living life. You should try it Right you tell yourself that. Sad , funny and impotent

Even sader, now your claim is you do have a "real" social life. Hmmmm? Right, normal people interrupt rewarding social lives and/or actual business to read and respond to randos on the Internet. Can you not see how ridiculous that sounds? But ya, im sure you are (and were) a contributing member of society. That's sarcasm, we both know you have nothing and no one and you're just a sad impotent little man that has nothing but this forum to try and provide some validation of your insignificant waste of existence . Now call me kiddo, had a bit of a rough week and could use the laugh.

That's not even coherent enough to be a logical fallacy. Sad

I'm curious to know how you think America has it better than us? We are better educated, healthier, happier, have better economic freedom and a higher median income

I was wrong the whole time, the man's a genius. He was able to figure out who the unabomber was decades before law enforcement, based on a conversation with someone that never met him. MAGA

So using your words, you're flattered when a creepy dude fantasies about your life? Jeez, do you have no other human contact other than this forum? I won't even go into phycological aspects of suggesting that, that same creep , change sexuality a find a new boyfriend, because I'm pretty sure that was just homophobia being masked in one of your juvenile unoriginal attempts at humor And no need to imagine, I know you have no life. I actually made a logical argument supporting this, but since we both know you have no counter argument, you ignored it and went back to your kiddo/child script Impotent(I remembered),sad and funny

He says sitting in a corner crying because he has nothing and no one. You're just repeating what I said back, just with more anger and a weaker vocabulary. Like I said, sad and funny Oh and impotent, can't forget impotent. My guess that's a major contributing factor

Again I don't disagree, but you seem to be overlooking the Fact I keep mentioning that any additional spending must be put to a vote of confidence in the house , this is a minority government so he doesn't have a blank cheque, and if you look at how effective Jack Layton was at getting things done in a minority government, any of the three parties can, as they represent the majority of Canadian voters I don't know what your professional experience is, so I'll only speak to my reality. I had a small event production company, most contracts were only a few weeks some as long as a few months. We would secure a contract usually a year in advance, sometimes shorter for smaller weekend events, but for the most part would spend three to four times the time on planning and budgeting than the actual on site work and we're talking contracts rarely more then six figures and often only tens of thousands. The idea of writing a budget mid event gives me stress. Particularly if the person that had wrote the previous budget was a nepo hire on his way out. What I did was simple compared to a budget involving billions with 35 million share holders across thousands of kilometers. I'd rather he gets piece work approval when he wants new spending, than frantically putting something together to appease the economic illiterate

What I read is you can't defend your sad little life and all you have is "I know you are but what am I" You're both sad and funny Now call me kiddo again your retorts are always so scathing and hurtful, no wait I mean bloated and impotent, just like you

Let's forget the word budget, I think it might be interfering with where we agree You're right promises were made and must be kept, but we need to focus on real things. One of the campaign promises that was most important to me was free interprovincial trade by July 1st and though some barriers were lifted through legislation many barriers still remain. This is a pressing issue that involves all Canadians directly, where decisive actions must be taken immediately. Back to budgets. We both know that a budget for this year was and is in place, that ensures our bills will be paid and that putting together some quick patchwork budget for a fiscal year already in progress won't actually help, again any additional spending must pass a vote. Therefore even bringing it up distracts from real issues Further more anyone with an even rudimentary understanding of the financial system will simply shrug such criticism off and be less inclined to consider anything else from that source whether or not those criticisms have merit. For example, I think Trumps reputation in business ( let's be honest his daddy bought him some buildings in New York during a time and in an area where the real estate market was weak, and he played a business man on a scripted T V show) greatly outweigh his experience and acumen ( he bankrupted a casino, amongst other things, a casino) and most of his supporters are better described as marks. He is a brilliant self promoter (shameless but brilliant) and most have bought in to the hype,but when people call him Hitler or a Russian plant, they just sound like partisan hacks and shouldn't be taken seriously. The nimrod that wrote this thread falls into that same lunatic fringe, don't let him drag you down

It's been obvious for a while that your low mental capacity and lack of any real professional/life experience makes it impossible for you to understand even basic economic principles but I've just now realized the issue may be larger, possibly an error in your medication or even the early signs of dementia. Let's explore Dude on this very forum I've spoken about being a recovering addict, a high school dropout, homeless, formally on welfare and having a criminal record, but you think I'd lie about voting Liberal? I like most Canadians am a liberal (notice the lower case "l" ) and if I thought that a Liberal (notice the upper case "L" I'll let you Google the difference) had been the best person to represent me then I would have proudly voted Liberal (again upper case L) But ya, I'm lying on some silly forum about who I vote for, definitely sounds like something that comes from a sound mind. Here again is how we differ. In some lame attempt at a "come back" you just pull shīt out your àss. My crochety old man comment was based on observable facts, the fact is you spend an inordinate time on this forum and that alone allows me to extrapolate certain logical conclusions. People with successful professional careers either continue in their fields in an advisory or diminished role. They don't post dozens of times a day whilst providing little to no insight or even understanding of the topics discussed People with rewarding personal, or social lives live their lives out in the world not behind their computers screens calling people kiddo. You have nothing but the sad validation you get by name calling on a useless forum , where you spend all day ( point of interest, you average more posts a day then I do a month) and before you use your throw away line " I just type faster" don't bother that's below even your intelligence and that's saying something. But seriously think about making an appointment with a neurologist, now if you did have anyone that cared I'm sure they would have noticed already, but since you don't take it from me, someone that doesn't even like you, in fact I think you're most likely a horrible person but your decline is noticable. Go see a doctor

I agree with everything you're saying, other than your characterization of me giving him a "blank check". Spending bills are subject to confidence votes in parlement and this being a minority government alone, puts in checks and balances. I was commenting specifically on issue of this years budget and more broadly on the ridiculousness of the title of this thread and the overall ignorance of political discours Yes Carney has zero charisma and lacks a certain gravitas as a leader in public, but is arguably the most qualified person to ever hold the office, and if people get sidetracked by silly partisan crap like "Master economist REFUSES to table a budget" (again for a year already started Before taking power) then it just comes across as butt hurt, can be easily ignored and filled under goofy right winger and therefore not even be considered by the majority of the electorate that aren't partisan hacks. You realize many on the left have conserns about Carney too right? Maybe both sides can find where their crazy meets and form a collision

First, not a liberal. In fact last time I voted Liberal was for David Pratt and that was only because I knew him personally. Now back to your lack of understanding of economics. Canada's fiscal year is from April 1st to March 31st, much like many businesses. I could explain the reasons for this but I'm sure it would fall on most likely deaf ears and most definitely ignorant ones So either you want him to table a budget for fiscal year that was over half way through the first quarter when a new government took over. OR you were expecting him to release a budget as an unelected party leader weeks before a close election? Or did you have another idea , untethered from the realities associated with finance at that scale, or in your case any scale And, as you often do, you've argued against your own point. We'll to be fair this specific point. Your overall pointis just Libs bad, because you're a partisan hack. You said Harper elected in JANUARY (hint January is before April) months before the fiscal year started, (Again Months Before) and still tabled a budget. Your right and many economists didn't think he could and were impressed when he did. I too thought this was quite an accomplishment, because I'm not a partisan hack But Please continue to show you're nothing but a crotchety old man that has nothing in his life other than spouting the ignorant talking points of the grifters that confirm your pre-existing bias , behind your keyboard (probably still running windows 98. You're the internet equivalent of the old man yelling at kids to get off his yard, both sad and amusing at the same time. At least very entertaining when I come on the rare times I'm not living in the real world. You should try it.

Just to be clear, you're upset because someone that didn't enter parliament until after the 2025 fiscal year had started, isn't going to table a budget for the 2025 fiscal year? As always your ignorance is comical, but what more can be expected from someone who's only experience with budgeting is probably notations in his check book , gotta make sure there's enough left for milk at the end of the month.

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!
