Anti-Conservative Bias in CBC and MSM
herbie replied to Zeitgeist's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
You're actually unable to perceive that the very idea of what is conservative has moved much farther right than it was over the last few decades. Eager to fully adopt the Big Tent us or them, black or white mentality. -
More like $4200, but seeing as how you mentioned EI & CPP which are not tax, counting that as pa deductions would reduce it at least $1000 more as 2 people are paying those instead of one. And take into account a nonworking spouse gets a lower pension than one that worked. But you're correct in that an extra tax hurts your family income and is unfair. Look at it like this it's even worse: taking in the 15k deduction for a nonworking spouse on earns 60K vs 2 earning 30K You're looking at the single earning paying $2400 more tax. 2400 bucks of a family income of 60,000 hurts a hell of a lot more than 4200 to a family income of 120,000.

Took you long enough to notice. And it's absolutely typical to interpret things that way. No they don't. They want say over their lands not ceded. The concept of First Nations is not the same as Countries. No one will lose titled land, but they will determine the terms of future land use and ownership on Haida Gwaii. You will deal with them, not just Victoria and Ottawa.

Hamas Attacks Troops Building Pier
herbie replied to Rebound's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Forcing their people to endure even more is what Hamas sees as 'good publicity'. They want you to see the suffering of the people and not them. -
Anti-Conservative Bias in CBC and MSM
herbie replied to Zeitgeist's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
It is only liberal biased if you see anything left of fascist as liberal, have become so Americanized you think the Democrats are liberal. As I said, 20 years of propaganda demanding a march to the right will do that to some. By people that don't realize the "mainstream" has become The Internet that carries far more right wing content, and are unable to distinguish news from opinion. Reality is that most Canadian media endorses conservative views and endorses Tory opinions. The bulk of even the CBC criticism is because they don't, they clearly point out what is editorial opinion and report news as news. -
Ontario needs to invest in EVs as a realistic Option.
herbie replied to Boges's topic in Provincial Politics in Canada
Talk about timing..... Did you miss the $15 billion Honda investment in 4 EV plants in Ontario this week? Besides, stop worrying about batteries. PP knows electicians that can pluck electricity from the sky. So do I; with wind and solar. -
You all forgot you already have a female party leader to vote for. Elizabeth May. So if the sex of the PM is more important than their policy, vote Green. And BTW I would've had to really search my soul for any redeeming quality that would've made me think of voting for Kim Campbell.

Anti-Conservative Bias in CBC and MSM
herbie replied to Zeitgeist's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Losing battle Mikey. These people have spent the last 2 decades convincing themselves the media is liberal biased. Even managed to convince many others. When you don't know or don't believe how they've earned their money it makes it easy. When the idea evolved into believing the 'cure' is purposely injecting bias, they're beyond all hope. Look at what the MSM actually has become - the Internet. It's just so left wing, isn't it? [/s] -
Canada's dangerous slide into antisemitism
herbie replied to I am Groot's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
As is their right to. AFAIC I can't actually visualize anyone undertaking a University education marching about celebrating mass murder and kidnapping. How do you get a diploma if you can't even pass Sunday School.... -
Guilty of making attempts to address climate change Guilty of Courting investment in the auto sector Guilty of Pharmacare, dental care Guilty of Moving tax burdens to the wealthy Guilty of legalizing weed Guilty of rebates on EVs and energy conservations Guilty of tax credits for volunteer firefighters, seniors home renos Guilty of Covid income stabilization Guilty of boosting immigration tostill build the country and address worker shortages Yeah they have much guilt. Could've spent no money on any of those and paid down the deficit as if that would solve any of the problems.

Canada's dangerous slide into antisemitism
herbie replied to I am Groot's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
How did you interpret as that? No, I'm saying the usual flaw is interpreting what some do as a characteristic of all. Which would be a conspiracy hole. Like in the idea that Hamas murders people, therefore Palestinians are supporting Hamas by protesting being bombed, starved and displaced. -
So-called science has repeatedly erred in making false claims.
herbie replied to blackbird's topic in Religion & Politics
You are looking at 'what is the Garden of Eden". I'm looking at "what is the meaning of the parable". I'm dissing those who believe the only path is through blind and acceptive obedience.
