Jeez I just opened another quarterly cheque for $329 GST rebate. I don't think I've spent more than $50 in GST-able things in the last 3 month. I guess that's just so unfair to the billionaire that paid $50K on a million dollar yacht and didn't get so much as a penny back! Or is it just too complicated for Trump puppies to figure out.

Of course I do. We'd have had no pandemic if we chopped up Covid Karens into tiny pieces and sacrificed all their generations in ozone furnaces, advanced on the Freedumb rallies with flamethrowers and ripped babies from unvaxxed mothers to raise in laboratories. But you're right, what would a Judge know about law? He's just a Judge. and we're plumbers and truck drivers and welders!

Watch it there! My ex was a Scot, she couldn't wait for summer to go to the beach and show off her latest sweater...

FTFY

So you're going to play semantics that they can't "control" it so therefore they shouldn't do anything about affecting it, knowing well that we do? The extent deniers will go to...

Then why is there an international ban on using military weapons to affect the weather? You know damn well they did massive studies and test and actually used them in the 1960/70s don't you? So when the proof that "man" can control the weather, how can you possibly deny that "man" could inadvertently, over the long term not affect the climate? Especially after we realized it, endorse continuing to do so?

Correct. But the entire auto-response that criminals that won't obey laws won't obey laws is pretty moot. As is the gov't claim they will. So it's pretty obvious they can only rule against the supply and choice of guns for everyone. There are laws on the books for actual gun criminals, but they're the one always bargained away in plea deals. Unfortunately the truth is that if there was an outright 100% ban on handguns, 3/4 of Canadians would support it and most people aren't going to change their votes over 'assault' style weapons if their normal hunting rifle isn't affected. The entire issue boils down to lacking a consensus on what constitutes an 'assault style' weapon. Not too many are going to back the right to own Uzzis, M16s and AK47s are they?

Discussing anything with the clinically insane... yet 1/2 the threads are from his absolutely convoluted interpretations of events and issues.

The USA is the one country that will not even consider taxing discretionary spending - a GST/VAT tax. Passing over a lot of revenue from yachts, private planes, mansions, Ferraris, etc....

Gun laws here have sure as hell stopped 6 year olds bringing Daddy's loaded gun to work and shooting their teacher and 14 yr olds from using Dad's to shoot their friend over a lost game or internet post, haven't they? They nailed the guys who thought they could go all Yellowstone and shoot someone for crossing their property? Like it's a lame ass excuse that they won't stop criminals because criminals don't obey laws just like I said. All we can do is enforce the laws against criminals we catch. No one wants a land of idiocy with loaded weapons laying around the house and making any excuse whatsoever as justification to use one. No one will put up with 'open carry' and 'concealed carry' BS like in the land of y'alls.

Laws against murder are useless because murderers won't obey them. So we shouldn't have laws against murder either, eh? Having laws on the books mean NOTHING if the population is too stupid to follow them. I really enjoyed you admitting that....

It will never leave the minds of the people who call themselves Conservatives today. My Dad was a lifelong Tory, big Dief/Stanfield supporter. His generation got medals for shooting fascists dead, one grandpa left Italy because of Mussolini another was a folk hero for fighting Franco in Spain and now I'm supposed to believe they need to be tolerated? F that noise.

Aside from missing the entire point of my post (you cannot even recognize what is actually important), you're trying to prove your climate denial ignorance with retrts the equivalent of Why did you smack me Mommy? Bobby took a much bigger shit on the living room floor!

Did Ivermectin & Vitamins Stop the COVID Outbreak in Delhi? No, they walk behind cows, catch their shit in their bare hands and press it into cakes to dry and build cooking fires. That builds way more immunity to disease. You anti-vaxxers should try it, eat it raw or make a tea.

So keep maintaining this is THE issue, it's far easier to stumble thru life with your eyes closed and brain shit off, not even noticing Climate change, China stealing your markets and industries, Russia trying to rebuild the USSR. Be proud you're anything but woke.

Oh they can vote can they?

The ALIENS are taking our jobs. TWO ARMS! TWO ARMS!

WTF was the great Russian hoax, you pretending you're not a Russian troll?

Here's one for oftenwrong: "90% of all Teslas ever built are still on the road. The other 10% made it home."

Another one in the weeds too. And I suppose you're going to tell me the BC Liberals are left wing libbies too. Yeah, the used the name to pull votes from the social democrats, tell us all the socialist things they did once Hitler got in and there was no more need to worry about being re-elected. Tell me the socialists, especially the communists weren't his sworn enemy. Totalitarian can be on either side of the political spectrum. You gonna claim Franco and Mussolini were socialists too?

You're just doubling down and repeating your reason to object. You can't eat enough LEDs to harm yourself. Just don't even look at what's in a smoke detector. And I live in a forestry province in a town where that's pretty much THE only thing here. Why in hell would I ever support flimsy roll all over the place plastic bags? Why they're already conning us with handle-breaks-off "recycler" shopping backs. The thread is titles Ontario needs to invest in EVs, which it does or it will miss out on it's whole auto sector. China's pounding on the door to deliver them, Elon's lobbying to bring Chinese Teslas, the Vietnamese are already here. We've got everything we need to produce them from ore to assembly lines to the skilled workers to do it

And arsenic isn't a metal.... like I said, give us a practical, legitimate reason. Not ones along the lines of 'it would take too many trees cut down to bring electricity to rural America' and 'we'd need to send armies halfway around the world to overthrow Sheiks and Princes, thousands would die, we'd need to pay for all the set up, transport and refining of that oil/ We should just keep running our battleships on our own supply of coal'

You are the poster boy for the stereotype of An American I.diot. Wilfully uneducated, insular, isolationist, easily duped and never ventured beyond your bedroom door at your Mom's house. Unable to demonstrate logic nor critical thinking whatsoever. Let's just pick your last post to shreds here: DemoNazis - you are always critical of Democrats for being too leftist, but Nazis are the definition of right wing extremism. If you don't know that basic fact, you're wilfully refusing to learn dick shit. Nothing But Lies - tell us about even one. Gasoline prices - are set by the very Free Market you are beholden too, and the usual knee-jerk response that they should cut taxes to 'help' you means reducing the only part of gasoline prices that actually benefits the public as a whole to spare your personal pocket book. (See stereotype of An American I.diot above). Prices for gasoline rose everywhere, therefore one political party in only one of almost 200 countries could not possibly have caused them to. Runaway Inflation - which is happening all over the World (see: therefore one political party in only one of almost 200 countries could not possibly have caused that) Tax increase on the Poor - do you know what a tax is? It is definitely NOT the price the seller places on their goods. Obviously you're one of those MAGA dupes that doesn't even grasp what the rest of the world thought (and some still do) made America 'great' and thast was progress. To innovate, to commit to what was right for all humanity, to end discrimination and disadvantages, as JFK said "to do it because it was hard".

No No! All of YOU are wrong! (reason does his Curly impression again)

Oh FFS learn some chemistry. Heavy means dense and toxic. LEAD in your current car battery is a toxic heavy metal. Mercury in ancient button batteries was a toxic heavy metal. Chrome on an old bumper is a heavy metal. Lithium is the lightest metal there is and probably someone you know swallows it every day, Cobalt you don't grind up and breathe particles every day, you take minor precautions handling it every day, but you body requires some to function. As with the copper. As for LEDs what 'heavy metal' is used in those? In any meaningful quantity that could be recycled if even possible. Stop reaching for straws to grasp, toss us a legit reason not to go EV, remembering that cost and some inconvenience isn't the major concern of most of us. Smart cars would outsell F150s if it was.
