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. -
You seem to be referring to the ONE GUY who wasn't deported for protesting in general. If they find so much as one protesting to support Hamas rather than the Palestinian people, I'm sure they would rule otherwise.

Canada's dangerous slide into antisemitism
herbie replied to I am Groot's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
More like "couldn't pass the admissions"..... Can't distinguish between those particular protesters and anyone having anything to do with secondary ed. -
Is Hamas legally listed as a terrorist organization? Then supporting them is a crime and they should be investigated and arrested.

You still don't get it... you don't pay tax on the sale of a principal residence OR on your rent, so how is ownership advantageous tax wise? You don't even have anything to sell if you're a renter. That part of tax law is fine as it is.

Canada's dangerous slide into antisemitism
herbie replied to I am Groot's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Of course not, but I sure do expect a much better effort. Not a minimal effort followed by meaningless apologies. Like 7 months for the supposedly world class army to clear Hamas from an area the size of a postage stamp? I'm no anti-semite but Hamas still is holding hostages and deserves what they get. And protesters here that celebrate Oct 7 should be locked up for what are pretty clear hate crimes. -
Another error in logic. They don't. Having the same rights doesn't eliminate or reduce someone else's. Might go against majority opinion, but not their rights.

The functional point! Not the one fundamentals can see. Bliss is preached over knowledge and free will. -
Hope all you want. he is doing exactly what his voters want him to. As a politician not in a majority position he can bite his tongue supporting Justin and get some NDP policies implemented or at best never get any at all and probably see existing one cut or rolled back. Now who would you say knows more about actual politics? You or Singh?

Canada going downhill in every major category
herbie replied to I am Groot's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Some brains just aren't wired properly, whatever they read something else imprints. A positive is dismissed as leftism, socialist. Touting the glories of the market knowing SFA about it, never even having tried. White is seen as black, night as day. Never attribute to maliciousness what is usually stupidity. Or undiagnosed brain damage. -

Well at least you're not suggesting we should return to the Garden of Eden and wander about in total ignorance, mooing like cows. -

See what I mean about a negative personality affecting your entire outlook? You go out of you're way to prove the obvious isn't picking specific items claiming they represent the whole. Always. In every opportunity. You can't buy a home in West Vancouver, so that means you can't buy one anywhere. You can't get a job in Toronto, so there are no jobs anywhere. They suggest you wear a mask and vet the vax in a pandemic, so they forced you to. You can prance down the street celebrating massacres, teach with big fake tits, watch porn on the Internet and cable TV at home, hire an escort and marry your team mate, but you insist somehow you're less free cuz you can't stop someone else from doing the same. Doesn't matter how many stats about crime decreasing, you read about a gang shooting in Surrey so you're kids aren't safe enough to walk to school in Truro or Corner Brook. See what I mean? -
Deductible mortgages encourage people to give more to banks. The tax dollars not collected are removed, gone, the same as if being spent on a balance sheet. Seeing as how the govt is YOU, directing revenue into bank profits is not a good idea and as most posters carry on so over redirection of wealth to the needy, redirecting it to the wealthy corporations is total hypocrisy. Unless of course mortgages were exclusive to a Crown corporation Bank, which they'd hate because that would be eeewww socialist.

Canada going downhill in every major category? You are safer in every way, you have more freedom, you have more choices, you are wealthier than you were anytime in history. If you insist on viewing everything in a negative light, you may easily convince yourself things are getting worse when they're not. As well as making personal choices that become self fulfilling prophecies. -
Yeah that is what the problem is. And with that statement, you seem to be standing in the way.

Tax dollars for consumers to shovel more money to the banks? I'm sure they'd love that.

No it isn't it's to get you to start a business and sell it for half the tax, not wait for someone else to give you a job. And of course if the Tories did exactly the same thing, you'd be on here bellowing what a fiscally responsible move it was. -
We don't hide. Cross a picket line and find out....
