  1. So just how many horrible despicable people like her and the other floor crossers are there in the Conservative Party and who should be held accountable for letting them in and letting them run as candidates?
  2. The only time conservatives do well in elections is when the NDP syphons votes from the Liberals and the non-Conservative vote gets split, which is Conservatives rately taget the NDP even though it’s the most “far left woke socialist” party in Canada. The Cons also had no problem colluding with the most socialist left wing party in Canada during Trudeau’s minority governments. The Conservatives will be quietly cheering Avi on while publicly saying little to nothing about his “radical socialist” agenda that is so far to the left it will make Carney look like Donald Trump and Ronald Reagan by comparison
  3. Longtime Conservative MP Marilyn Gladu crosses floor to join Liberals The Sarnia—Lambton—Bkejwanong MP’s seat hands Carney a majority whether or not Liberals win the Quebec riding of Terrebonne in Monday’s byelections. Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal tent is expanding — pulling at the seams and turning it a slightly purple shade. Wednesday, Carney welcomed to the Grits’ fold Marilyn Gladu, the four-time Conservative MP for what’s now calledSarnia—Lambton—Bkejwanong. She is the fifth floor crosser, the fourth Conservative, and one seat that hands Carney a majority whether or not the Liberals win the Quebec riding of Terrebonne in next Monday’s byelections. Gladu is well known on Parliament Hill for her social conservative stances and her collegial style. She is charming, co-operative, and a vocal MP who handily won her riding with more than 50 per cent of the vote last spring. https://www.thestar.com/politics/federal/longtime-conservative-mp-marilyn-gladu-crosses-floor-to-join-liberals/article_7916625c-c910-4b93-b71a-e817efd0ea25.html
  4. Was the reason for the sudden attack on iran simply because you’re sick and tired of everything it’s been doing since 1979 or not. If yea then there’s no reason it wasn’t part of his election campaign and no reason not to go to congress. Whats hilarious is that people votes foe trump because he promised no more foreign wars, no more inflation, no more runaway spending and you guys all were all foaming at the mouth over those things. Now he’s doing the exact opposite BY CHOICE and you people couldn’t care less. Yes how evil or bad Iran is irrelevant. The world will always have evil and bad regimes in it, that not an excuse to start unnecessary wars of choice. This is not like 9/11 or pearl harbour or Desert Storm or even Libya where a sudden event required a response. This, Venezuela and his nee sanctions Cuba is Trump trying to start conflicts as a vanity project.
  5. What other possible meaning could there be? Of course in the end TACO was just making empty threats as usual and has now given a 2-week extension
  6. But…that…is…false...and….you…don’t…know…what…you’re…talking…about. 1) Moving the coast guard to DND so it can be included as defence spending is 100% legitimate and something most of our allies already do. Same goes for dual use infrastructure 2)Note that we also hit NATO’s 20% target on actual capability spending 3) There is all kinds of new spending on pay increases, housing, base infrastructure as well as equipment which is well documented in this thread but like a typical MAGA whenever you accidentally read facts you don’t like you stab your brain with a q-tip to erase the memory. 4) you fundamentally don’t understand hiw military spending works. If Trudeau had announced new spending of $1 billion per year for the next 10 years, that’s exactly how it get counted, 1 billion every year for the next ten years it doesn’t count as $10 billion in year 1 only. Therefore tour claim that this is mkney “that Trudeau already set aside” and so shouldn’t count that is total BS. If it were true then Trudeau would have hit 2% in 2023 or 2024 when he announced a shit/ton of major acquisitions LMAO you lying gaslighter that’s been your response to just about every spending announcement I have posted in this thread lately. And yet here you are making a COMPETELY FALSE CLAIM with $2 BILLION dollar price tag that YOU COMPLETELY MADE UP. So either you are so stupid you can’t parse simple facts without getting confirmation or you are a shameless liar TO BE ABSOLUTELY CLEAR: 1) There was no tree planting expenses “moved” from another department to military budget THAT IS INVENTED BY YOU 2) The military did not spend “$2 billion” to plant the handful of trees it did plant THAT IS MADE UP BY YOU You are without a doubt the most dishonest right wing poster on this site and probably the lowest in reading comprehension if you even read things at all, you make mistakes like this so often I have a hard time believing its all due to your dishonesty
  7. And now with his latest tweet Rump is openly threatening genocide which is the only possible meaning of his “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” Of course it’s just bullshit and bluster as MAGAs always do because he’s helplessly flailing in this war with no clear way out but just the fact tht he’s threatening genocide for his unnecessary war of choice failed vanity project is significant and a total disgrace to America.
  8. Round and round you go again. The bloodthirsty warmongers are saying the reason for the war is all the things Iran has done historically since 1979. So if that is true then why was the decision to go to war only made after the election and so rushed there was no time to go to congress?
  9. There is no surplus infrastructure in the far north for a massive influx of military personnel eating drinking shitting showering and consuming massive amounts of electricity and fuel 24/7/365. And why would there be given how exonerating and complicated it is to build anything up there? There are barely any year-round roads amd chronic housing shortages. The grocery prices in those places are already ridiculous. Much of what does exist is already heavily subsidized by federal government and the CAF. That seems pretty self-evident and I thought common knowledge. I recently saw a picture of an 8-pack of diet coke in Cambridge Bay it was $36
  10. So you’re saying Trudeau acting got us to 2% years ago As I previously pointed out you’re trying to have your cake and eat it too flailing for an argument any argument When it’s announced you say it doesn’t count because it hasn’t been budgeted When it’s budgeted you say it doesn’t count because it hasn’t been spent When it’s spent you you say it doesn’t count because it was previously announced and budgeted And when the military builds military housing planned by the military paid for by the military’s money it’s a military expenditure How stupid do you have to be to not get your head around this? Like honestly kids in grade school can het this.
  11. There is no civilian infrastructure in the north that the military can feed from. Hell the civilians up there barely have enough for themselves let alone provide for themselves and the CAF. And yes much if not most of what exists up there for things like airstrips used by the military has been built or maintained by CAF.
  12. But like a typical MAGA you don’t know wtf you’re talking about you just keep repeating the same isolated tidbit over and over and pretending all other facts context and logic don’t matter. You don’t understand what you call “part of the special program” means so you make a false narrative. It simply means is that the trees paid for with Dept of National Defence money on Dept of National Defence property for Dept of National Defnce purposes over the next few years will be included in “the special program’” total. As will trees planted by other federal departments. And they promise to follow through on it. INCLUDING THOSE 2:1 TREES IN ESQUIMALT I JUST MENTIONED Period. End of story. All other plots and conspiracies are imagined by the right wing haters.
  13. And guess what? It all counts as part of your alcohol budget where previously you bought the beer and wine at the grocery store and instead counted it as part of your grocery budget.
  14. You have no idea what this argument is about. You will never know enough about Canada or the military to say anything intelligent in this thread amd you are not honest enough to understand when your claims have been rebutted. I am not repeating myself again, I have explained “the special program” to you numerous times and that simply adds the trees routinely planted by other federal departments to its target number. If you don’t get it by now you never will.
  15. Trees felled for temporary 400-unit housing complex at CFB Esquimalt CFB Esquimalt plans to plant replacement trees according to base policy, which usually requires two trees to be planted for every tree cut down … https://www.timescolonist.com/local-news/trees-felled-for-temporary-400-unit-housing-complex-at-cfb-esquimalt-12096811 OMG they’re planting trees! They have a POLICY of replanting trees 2:1 whenever they have to cut any down! Somehow this is wrong!! Quick call NATO!! HOAX! HOAX! CONSPIRACY!! CONSPIRACY!! HELP!! HELP!!😀 ^ This all to point out, once again, that tree planting is a part of normal and routine activity on military bases and they have existing policies around it.
  16. That’s a ridiculous assertion on so many levels. He did not campaign on war with Iran in 2024, full stop. 1) No intelligent person could say with straight face that voters in 2024 voted for war with Iran because Trump made ONE SPEECH in 2020. Like you’re saying the promise for an “epic” war was “implied” or something and didn’t need to be mentioned directly To paraphrase the old Seinfeld skit “you can’t ‘yadda yadda’ the most important part!” NOT TO MENTION that was during a totally different election that he LOST 2) Nowhere in that old speech did he pledge to go to war with Iran anyway, it was just standard political tough talk. 3) If Trump was already President once and did NOT invade iran during his first term, and made no promises to do so, common sense tells you voters did not elect him to attack Iran Whether or not he needs congressional approval is debatable. Its a highly politicized grey area. Republicans certainly claim democrat presidents need congressional approval for any money they want to spend or foreign military action they want to undertake but that’s a well known hypocrisy. Whenever there is a republican president republicans claim the constitution states the president has king-like authority and whenever there is a democrat president they claim the constitution states the office of the president is limited to a symbolic figurehead role. Republicans wipe their memories and reset their brains accordingly whenever there’s a change in POTUS, it’s a time-honoured tradition.
  17. Ok there has been exactly ONE this term and it was just a few days ago I stand corrected. I see no right-tards were upset when Alito or Clarence Thomas were the lone dissenters in previous terms.
  18. The People Trump Pardoned Are on a Crime Spree The Constitution grants sweeping pardon powers to the president, which means that public opinion has historically been the only check on that power. The risk of a backlash is the reason that presidents have waited until their last days in office to issue many pardons and commutations, especially dubious ones to family members (like Hunter Biden) or political allies (like Caspar W. Weinberger, whom George H.W. Bush pardoned). The potential for a backlash also made presidents cautious about the number of pardons they issued. They understood that there could be an outcry if somebody who received a pardon later committed a new crime. The pardon system has also relied on the decency of American presidents. President Trump has abandoned this approach. His self-serving pardons are so numerous that public attention cannot keep up with them. It is a version of the strategy that his former adviser Steve Bannon has described as “flood the zone”: Do so much so fast that people cannot follow the consequences. He has created a veritable pardon industry, in which people with White House connections accept payments from wealthy convicts. Among those on whom he has bestowed freedom are dozens of people convicted of fraud. He has also pardoned Juan Orlando Hernández, a former president of Honduras, who helped traffic hundreds of tons of cocaine into the United States, and Ross Ulbricht, who was serving a life sentence for running Silk Road, a sprawling criminal enterprise that sold drugs. There seems to be no crime too ugly for a Trump pardon. Worst of all, Mr. Trump granted clemency on the first day of his second term to everyone who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. He did not distinguish between rioters who were relatively peaceful and those who attacked police officers, as Vice President JD Vance said should be the case. About 1,500 Jan. 6 rioters received a clean slate, regardless of their actions. The results have been disastrous. At least 12 of the pardoned rioters have since been charged with other serious crimes, including child molestation, assault, harassment, murder plots and charges related to a vicious dog attack. The outcome was predictable. Critics, including this board, had warned that Mr. Trump’s pardons would embolden the rioters by signaling that crime has no consequences. One does not have to be a criminologist to predict that people who commit a violent act and are absolved of any punishment might become repeat offenders. The American public deserves to understand the mayhem that the Jan. 6 pardons have unleashed. Among the 12 serious recidivists whom we are aware of, four were in jail or prison at the time of the pardon, and they quickly went on to commit more crimes: On March 5, a court in Florida sentenced Andrew Paul Johnsonto life in prison for molesting a 12-year-old boy and a girl of the same age. To keep the children quiet, Mr. Johnson is said to have promised to bequeath to them part of a Jan. 6 restitution payment from the federal government that he claimed he would receive. He used the online gaming platforms Discord and Roblox to reach out to the children after Mr. Trump freed him from prison. On Jan. 6, Mr. Johnson entered the Capitol through a broken window and accosted police officers. In the past two months, Jake Lang destroyed an ice sculpture outside the Minnesota State Capitol, leading to a felony vandalism charge, and helped organize an anti-Muslim rally in New York City that turned violent. On Jan. 6, he was caught on camera storming the Capitol with a baseball bat and a riot shield, which prosecutors said he used to attack police officers. In May, Zachary Alam was arrested for breaking into a house in Virginia and stealing a tablet computer and a diamond necklace. On Jan. 6, he was among the first to enter the Capitol building from its west lawn and hurled items at police officers from a balcony. At his sentencing hearing, he was unrepentant: “Sometimes you have to break the rules to do what’s right.” He had previous convictions for auto theft and driving under the influence. Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the far-right Proud Boys, scuffled with protesters at a news conference and was briefly detained on assault charges, a month after Mr. Trump freed him from a 22-year prison sentence. Mr. Tarrio was one of the leaders behind the Jan. 6 attack, but he was not in Washington on the day of the riot. He had been kicked out of the city after vandalizing a Black church after an earlier pro-Trump rally. An additional eight Jan. 6 rioters were out of prison when Mr. Trump pardoned them and have since been charged with new crimes: On March 25, a judge sentenced Daniel Tocci to four years in prison for possession of more than 110,000 child pornography images. During the Jan. 6 riot, he joined the mob as it broke into the Capitol and destroyed and took government property. On March 1, Bryan Betancurgrabbed a woman’s hair on the Washington Metro, leading to a charge of assault and battery. At least two women have also accused him of stalking. He was already on probation for a burglary conviction when he stormed the Capitol and helped rioters circulate furniture that most likely was used as weapons. In October, Christopher Moynihan threatened to kill Hakeem Jeffries, the House minority leader, and pleaded guilty to a harassment charge over the incident. On Jan. 6, he was among the first rioters to breach police barricades and eventually broke into the Senate chamber. Robert Packer was arrested in September after his dogs attacked people, putting four in the hospital. He previously had a long criminal record that included theft and drunken driving, and during the Jan. 6 riot, he wore a “Camp Auschwitz” sweatshirt. John Andries violated a legal order requested by the mother of his child by repeatedly following and confronting her, leading to a sentence in June of 60 days in jail and three years of unsupervised probation. On Jan. 6, he entered the Capitol through a broken window and pushed police officers once inside. Brent Holdridge was arrested in May for stealing tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of industrial copper wire. On Jan. 6, he was scheduled to be in jail on separate drug-related charges, but he skipped his booking and joined the mob as it breached the Capitol. Jonathan Munafo was rearrested last year after he allegedly fled federal supervision imposed for dozens of menacing phone calls, including one in which he threatened to “cut the throat” of a 911 dispatcher. During the riots, he punched a police officer twice, stole his riot shield and used a wooden flagpole to try to break a window. Days after he was pardoned, Matthew Huttle is said to have resisted arrest during a traffic stop, and a sheriff’s deputy shot and killed him. The police said he had a gun. On Jan. 6, he helped take over the Capitol and joined rioters in chanting, “Whose house? Our house.” This list does not include at least 27 rioters who committed other crimes before they received their pardons. That group includes one woman who was sentenced to 10 years in prison for killing someone while driving drunk and a manwho livestreamed a bomb threat while driving around Barack Obama’s neighborhood in Washington. …. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/31/opinion/trump-jan-6-pardons-crimes-recidivism.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share MOST.

  19. I am not defending anything But it’s a totally different story when the secret pervert’s spouse is publicly pretending to be anti-pervert crusader trying to accuse others for perversion while hiding the perversion that is happening in their own house
  20. Yet somehow despite Trump forgot to mention it in his election campaign whil claiming to be a peace president who would put an end to America’s foreign wars. And then he somehow forgot to get congressional approval even when spending a billion dollars a day on it.
  21. Your bullshit claims are made even more hilarious by the clown car of massively unqualified (not just “less qualified”) hacks and charlatans appointed in the Trump administration, where the lack of qualifications was a feature not a bug because they said qualified people were part of the “establishment elite” and devotion to Trump is the only identity box that needs to be checked. Also as further proof of your ignorant BS, there have been exactly zero 8-1 decisions especially with Brown being the lone dissenter
  22. Typical User trying to make distorting and irrelevant arguments because you can’t admit you don’t know wtf you are talking about anfd have no point Everyone with at least a basic level of intelligence understands that Saddam didn’t have WMD and that decades-old expired shells that had been disposed of and buried for years don’t count. If all you have is an empty peanut butter jar in your garbage can everyone understands that you don’t have peanut butter, NOBODY is dumb enough to think that means you have a peanut butter stockpile. The whole reason this is relevant is Bush Jr told Americans he had to invade invaded Iraq it had an active WMD program that could strike US soil within 45 minutes of launch and Saddam was plotting with al Qaeda to do just that. He even showed the public what he claimed were satellite photos of these mobile launch vehicles and called the intel a “slam dunk”. He didn’t say we have to invade Iraq because they might have some old discarded inert shells that might make you sick if you dig them up and lick them. You are hilarious. Just like Trump is off randomly bombing stuff in Iran with no clear plan, objective or strategy you just barge in to every conversation trying to argue with people just for the sake of being disagreeable without having any point. Reminds me of when you tried to barge into a conversation in the thread on energy grid to try and claim that storing extra fuel at those gas power plants will produce more power during peak demand because the pipe doesn’t provide enough energy. It was just dumb nonsensical gibberish you posted because you wanted to he part of the argument even though you had no actual point to make and knew nothing about the topic. Saddam didn’t have WMD after Desert Storm, period. Everyone understands that and that old discarded of shells don’t count. You are just desperate to pursue pointless wand winless internet arguments at all costs because you have no other life amd just like you blundering president in Iran you don’t know how to extract yourself when you’re in over your head so you just continue to repeat and double down endlessly because you know nothing else.
  23. OMG these ridiculously debunked and cherry-picked claims were put to bed 20 years ago! I am sorry that you wre still in diapers or not even born then but we are not going back in time to re-litigate Bush’s thoroughly debunked WMD claims that they long ago admitted were false. The jury is thoroughly in. The Republicans long ago conceded there was no WMD and resorting to pretending it was due to “an intelligence failure” and not their fabricated lies. As for your article, those were not Iraqi stockpiles arsenals or active weapons those were old discarded shells at a disposal site. It is a matter of public record that Reagan sold chemical weapons to Saddam in the 80s that has never been disputed. It is also a matter of public record that those weapons and the facilities to make them were systematically destroyed after Desert Storm. You can dig up old world 1 mustard gas shells from a European farmer’s field and you can still be “wounded” by the residue that remains if you are stupid enough to touch it, only an absolute fool would believe that meams it is still a battlefield effective weapon or that it somehow “proves” that the European country was amassing a stockpile of WMD As I have explained WMD have to be stored in specific climatic conditions or they rapidly degrade amd become useless and yes it is hard to hide a stockpile of artillery shells rockets etc (not “a” shell but the thousands necessary to constitute an arsenal you dimwit) much less in perfect climate control and the launchers, cannons etc. . USA occupied Iraq for a decade and found ZERO arsenal, ZERO storage facilities, ZERO production facilities, ZERO launchers. And of course no WMD were fired at US troops when they invaded or by ISIS which consisted of significant Iraqi military forces, which is a key giveaway that they didnt have WMD. A decades-old buried dumpsite of Ronald Reagan’s expired inert shells is not evidence of anything. They jury has been in for 20 years amd Republicans have publicly admitted it for more than 2 decades, I am not going to go round and round with 100+ of your inane clueless posts simply because you can’t process basic facts and can’t admit you are wrong in an internet argument .
  24. Like I said the teacher is not in a classroom anymore and obviously got the help he needed. And it was a high school teacher not a grade school teacher.
