  1. And yet the creation of the system was under the Conservatives. By politicizing this, you are just trying to blow it off.
  2. No because the system is rotten, just like the Soviet system. It can only survive by oppressing the people it is supposed to represent.
  3. To start with, the 4 million Ukrainian refugees who have had to flee their homes.
  4. The charter including them doesn't mean they can do whatever they want. It doesn't give any of us license to do whatever we want. I'm an advocate of dress codes in schools for both faculty and students. I really prefer uniforms. That puts everyone on the same song sheet. Everyone is discriminated against, equally.
  5. This went on for almost 100 years under both Liberal and Conservative governments, politicizing it is just a way of blowing it off. This wasn't political, it was societal.
  6. We will come and kick you out of your house then we will take a vote to decide if it is ours. Nationalist's idea of democracy.
  7. Neither are you. A new pipeline from Norway was just opened. We'll see. Who doesn't want it to end. Ukraine has the right to defend itself regardless of what we might want.
  8. Except I never said that. You quoted the wrong person.
  9. Piss off, I don't tell you how to live. Your faith is your business not mine.
  10. Poorly trained and equipped, they will be dog meat for highly trained, highly motivated and well equipped Ukrainians. The Russian regulars outnumbered the Ukrainian army 10 to 1 and still got their asses kicked. Do you seriously expect this bunch being given WW2 vintage rifles designed in the 1880's to do any better? Nordstream 1 was already shut down and Nordstream 2 hasn't been completed.
  11. Where do you get off dictating other peoples rights?
  12. Maybe he thinks he is another Alexander 1st. I loved the NATO Salesman of the Year award.
  13. Putin is typical of despots and dictators. There is no truth to power in their regimes. They don't take advice from people most qualified to give it, they just get rid of them and surround themselves with those who tell them what they want to hear.
  14. Russia has always been ruled by strong men (and one woman). They really don't know anything else.
  15. Putin has backed himself into a corner. Militarily he has lost so what does he do now. Cornered rats are dangerous.
  16. I don't try to explain or justify anything those guys do. Trudeau is a hypocrite when it comes to practicing what he preaches. Why can't PP drive a car?
  17. We are releasing CO2 generated by fossil fuels at a rate of 65,000 metric tons a minute (NASA). That is from carbon that took 100's of millions of years for the earth to generate and sequester in its crust and we have been releasing back into the atmosphere in a matter of generations. Human activities generate over 60 times more CO2 than volcanoes (NOAA)
  18. Prove it. I'm not the one who is biased.
  19. Study it all you want it is still a book written by men. It can neither be proved or disproved.
  20. It is a book written by men. Not knocking it but it doesn't "prove" anything.
  21. The Bible doesn't "prove" anything. It's called faith for a reason.
  22. Both, they weren't even allowed in white schools until the 50's and 60's. Saying they had to be warehoused in native only schools is a crock.
  23. You are quoting energy density by weight which is true. Liquid hydrogen has an energy density by volume a quarter of gas or diesel. If liquid hydrogen has three times the energy density by weight, you would still need tanks that are 25% larger to hold it. A kilo of gaseous hydrogen would take up a huge volume. I think hydrogen will be part of reducing dependence on fossil fuels but there is no single silver bullet that will replace all the applications using fossil fuels.
