So now there's "fake consensus" to blame. Jeez there's no stopping the flakes from inventing words and pretending they mean something., Just points out you're stuck at an indefensible position.

Work from home. One thing that's a huge issue these days as a hell of a lot of people don't want to return to the office. A niece who normally works from home asked if she could visit someone in N California and he boss said if she brought her laptop and continues to work, it didn't matter if she was at the other end of town or California. If they'd get the damn rural internet to proper standards, that would make one hell of an improvement to where you could afford to live. If you got more people into smaller towns, there'd be more incentive to move businesses. And like I said to another niece 20 years ago, why open a coffee shop down the block from your cousin and try to compete for that nickle when they're building a University in Prince George where you could charge $1 more for that cappuccino and they'd be so grateful to have one they'd kiss your ass? There's people retiring and trying to unload shops, retail outlets, cafes, notaries, bookkeepers and nobody wants to move and take them over. Add on the fact most of these places are so under serviced there's major market potential. All these people taking on a $1 million home and hoping working for someone else will cover it, FFS they could get a house AND a viable business for even less than that. But waaah there's no choice of nightclub, too far to cross border shop and it gets cold wah wah!

Do open that up, it's 75% of the problem. The other big problem is people with too much money that will pay far more than something's worth just to have it and the ones that will borrow that much to overpay.

It's not up to the 90% to post proofs of vax stats/climate change, it's up to you to post claims we're wrong. There's there's this thing called Google, Health Authorities and places called libraries. If you think they're all fake that's a problem with you not them You remind me of long ago when if taunted by the mean kids, one would lay on the classroom floor, spinning and kicking and screaming "I'm not retarded! ALL OF YOU are retarded". The level of those who insist health & the environment are leftist concerns. see https://sproutsschools.com/bonhoeffers-theory-of-stupidity/

The "news" doesn't have a bias. But those that don't like what they hear on the news insist it does. The "MSM" stations mentioned DO have editorial opinion, but is clearly separate from the actual "news". Wheras Fox and it's like deliver editorial opinion AS news. As Michael Hardner pointed out the "MSM" makes it's income from delivering the news and that income is affected by the accuracy and quality of the news they deliver, so it is absurd to label them as 'left'. At least by what a lot of posters claim is left....

So I got warned. Apparently F*** Trudeau, F*** the libtards, F*** Greenies, posting incessant obvious lies, and outright racism and holocaust denial are acceptable but Convoyers* are the Holy Disciples to the Church of the Extreme Right Circle Jerk, Lady of Incessant Bullshit congregation. I will not be replying in this thread anymore as it's a known waste of time even discussing a subject with the bone stupid. *convoyers, not truckers

You know the only thing worse than someone who can't learn is someone who refuses to learn. Too bad this site is infested by those, those that outright lie and simply repeat it and those so fucking stupid they believe those lies. Fuck the convoyers and all it's supporters.

I've serviced computers for over 40 years from Commodore Vic20s to 64s, Amigas, Windoze boxes, Macs and Linux server banks. Closed my storefront 8 years ago and still work out of my home. If you ask I question I might be able to help. I won't call you names, I work with so many seniors so I hold it all in dealing with computer stuff. Just don't ask about gaming, I stay away from that. Business & home productivity stuff mainly. Run at home w an iPhone, iPad, older Mac mini, Windows 11 laptop, Win10 Ryzen desktop and a Raspberry Pi to play with and an Ubuntu backup server. Biggest piece of advice I'll give you is buy an external drive and back your shit up at least monthly. Documents, Pictures, Music - the OS can be reinstalled easily. Kinda sick of everyone waiting until their system is completely FUBAR and asking me to fix it by tomorrow. 2nd is don't buy X because it's "cheaper than Y" and the brand name means SFA 3rd the idiot at BestBuy doesn't know shit, he sells vacuums on Monsay, TVs on Weds and computers on Saturday. He's pushing that Antivirus just to make an extra $2 commission. Go ahead and ask, I've been at this game as long as Bill Gates has.

You heard what I offer as a better solution. 1. Decriminalize possession of small amounts in all Canada 2. Allow Doctors to prescribe and monitor alternatives 3. Increase support for mental health services 4. Lock up dealers for a LONG TIME. Forcing people into rehab doesn't work. Shit my kid checked out within 24 hrs several times, he literally dragged his ass out of hospitals bleeding, stroked out, broken bones and gave the usual litany about stoopid doctors, all a plot, etc. etc. because he was Jonesing for a hit. The Band Office runs a few centres here deep in the bush and ppl have still died trying to walk back to town. Some addicts just go into rehab or jail just to get fed and gain strength so they can go right back to it again.

Which does not work! Look at almost 100 years of evidence when forming your opinion. Countries with the death penalty still have the same problem, or you wouldn't read about the executions all the time. States with 3 strikes laws have even more prisoners than we do. Countries like Portugal have actually seen progress.

Quit referring to the protesters as the truckers. Over 90% of truckers are vaxxed. The protesters were condemned by both the Teamsters and Independent Truckers Assn. Who all knew, unlike the morons in the convoy that you can't get into tjhe USA without being vaxxed, so you'd never have the problem getting back into Canada. Who knew no one was being forced to get the vax, that's total shit. Who know that Trudeau doesn't sit there issuing orders, he handed it off to Health Authorities who can only make border policy and Health is a Provincial responsibility, they made the mask mandates. They have a clue how government works, you don't just march off with a fucking Internet petition and demand some authority do what you imbecilically think they can. And I'm not about to constantly pull figures from out of my ass and claim they're "actual facts". The convoy was merely a Northern Trumpist collection of disgusting racists, fascists, sovereign person dotards blowing off steam. People who want to believe the PM is a dictator because they're not capable or unwilling to think for themselves and need someone else to order what they can eat for breakfast or what Church to attend. People who freely made their own choice and want to throw tantrums on the floor because of the consequences. But of course to such children a sore arm for a day is 'severe side effects'.

The 90% are the ones who got vaxxed. The other 10% are morons who think the loudest counts, sort of a squeaky wheel mentality. Fuck you you're a majority, you're a fart in a tornado. So who gives a flying fuck about you quoting the booster shot rates... they're already better protected than you. The reason we don't give a shit about you lot is because there's a possibility we might get Covid and get the sniffles, whereas there's a better possibility you'll fucking die. There's 350-400 truckers in this little town and ONE rig and three pickups dragging the flag in the dirt showed up to protest and got mostly the finger. The other 350 were working to feed their kids.

I didn't quit my fucking job because I'm chickenshit of a needle. And I sure as hell don't blame other people for the choices I made myself. We the 90% don't give a flying fuck about you anymore, other than to abandon support of any elected official that thinks you're worth catering to. Enjoy the consequences of your choice, you made it.

What makes you think you have the slightest right to know? Does GM have to tell you what it charged your neighbour, or what the repair shop charged someone else? And what does your demand have to do with democracy in the least? The name of this website is re:politics. Maybe some of you should learn the meaning of what that is, and at least a minimal knowledge of how it works.

Don't matter. Once a Covidiot always a covidiot. Facts don't matter to adults who still cover their ears and yell nyah nyah I'm not listening....

What? You lost your job cuz you wouldn't get a vax? And it's everyone else's fault your political bullshit is more important to you than feeding your family? Wasn't your own choice was the evil Trudeau goblin.... right.... Didn't think the value of your opinon could sink below zero.

Once again you repeat who to blame rather than offer any solution. In BC overdose deaths were outpacing deaths from Covid, people died because ambulances were tied up with overdoses and the cost of dealing with addiction, associated crime, added emergency care are rising. Try a nice stroll around Hastings and main and avoid the discarded needles and passed out addicts in every other doorway. It's more than obvious that using the LAW hasn't worked, doesn't work and never will work so pointing out the law itself is doubling down on a proven failure. These people need help, not punishment. Another fallacy you pointed to is that a few people still overdose despite clinics and safe sites, therefore it proves failure because it's not 100% effective. The same argument Covidiots use to insist vaccines are useless. Because if you get hit head on by a dump truck, a seatbelt won't help you. That you can keep smoking because some non-smokers still get lung cancer. My kid didn't OD because there were clinics and safe sites, he died because he wouldn't use them. He denied to the very end he had a problem - the stigma of entering one was too much - because the majority of us have shitty judgemental attitudes that contribute to the problem.

Funny how things return to relevance over 40 years later... -dedicated to SCOTUS, and those who feel the old fuddy duddy is a "real" conservative

Well we could fix the whole damn problem by shipping Germany gas from Alberta. Unfortunately have to go right through your backyards. And can't be finished by tomorrow at 6:00 either. All for that?

Letting the brain damaged talk among themselves.

Duh!!! the turbine were repaired HERE, not somewhere else. Quit throwing shit against wall hoping it sticks and use that thing between your ears. The turbines in the dams in BC were made in Russia. Obviously we're not gonna buy more; do you want us to shut down the dams until we get new ones just to spite Russia? WE fix them, WE have the firms that can do it cheaper/better. If someone has a helicopter bought from Russia or a Niva 4x4 and it breaks are we supposed to refuse to fix it?

No matter how high the percentage of stupid people you guess that there are, the actual number is far higher. Politics is the art of fooling most of the people most of the time. -Cornfucius

Well if you even think the Canadian gov't is capable of a conspiracy, I have a short piece of 2x4 you can clear your head with. I'll even do it for you, if you sign a waiver and pay a fee.

You keep repeating your question and ignoring any answer. That's why you're not and never would be a politician. You'd stand there with your arms crossed yelling how it's their problem while Putin fucks Germany in the ass. A politician would hand Germany some Vaseline. That's why JTs the PM and you're not.

Okay, you pointed the blame. So WTF are you gonna do about it? Reminds me of the early days of Covid when the trollers were only interested in who to blame rather than doing anything about it. And again how they ridiculed anyone or any agency that even tried. Almost no one is dying from pure drugs. No one is dying at all in safe sites. SO how does doing SFA gonna stop people dying? That's the problem everyone is trying to address.
