Stupidest claim by Trumpoids I've ever heard. Guess what? Dems don't have to "let" her. If Biden croaks or resigns for health reasons in office she will be President. Then you Trumpoids can really have a shit fit and claim all kinds of conspiracies. In the meantime stay away from Prep H it's fatal to Trumpoids.

Federal Dental Insurance Care Scheme
herbie replied to August1991's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Don't give them ideas..... they ate transfats for decades, it's their own fault why should my tax dollars have to pay for defibrillators everywhere? -
Come up with a scary right wing doublespeak for what's been called the Brain Drain for the last 70 years or so. If you'd ever paid attention to the MSM talent leaving for the USA's larger market and immigrants training here to get the skills to move on to where they wanted to go in the first place wouldn't be "news". Never heard the immigrant saying "Almost America"? Or Canada's 2nd largest city is LA?

Form yourself a Party promising Inheritance Taxes and riches from Natural Gas exports 20 years too late. See if you get one MP elected.

Trump LOSES $355 MILLION PLUS INTEREST!!!
herbie replied to Rebound's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Oh even more losing.... so much losing... push for The Oaf even harder. -
Okay maybe you were right. In 2014 there were no homeless, there were so many doctors half the seniors moved from out town to be close to WalMart and Vancouver home prices were a totally affordable $1.5 million not 2. Everyone knew from their dealings with any govt agency it wasn't even remotely capable of hidden conspiracies, the refugees were only from Syria and all made delicious chocolate and you could buy a real crap car for only $12,000. 30 year old vehicles were something you tried to get rid of for a couple hunred, mayba $1000, not $35,000. It's all Trudeau's fault. He made covid and inflation and supply chain issues and Drag Queen Story Hours.

They have 5th floor windows in Russian jails too?

Hah hah! Selective memory or what.One of our least significant PMs glorified. He did very little. Passed tons of crime bills that didn't stand up. Cut the GST when the coffers needed it. Succumbed to the lowest common populist denominator with fear mongering and anti=immigrant BS during his last campaign. All in all a most forgettable PM

Hard time comprehending or what? Bitterness at a govt that stood up to corporate blackmail? Or bitterness at the Negative Nellies who can't even imagine fixing things, only smashing them to pieces and throwing them away? In the vague hope Mommy will buy you a new one.

Are the Democrats an Actual Cult?
herbie replied to WestCanMan's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Are Cemocrats A Cult? Asks the Trumpoid. def: (noun) Ugly, smelly painful lump that clings to Trump's arsehole -
But PP's a miracle worker. He's gonna reduce the deficit, increase NATO funding, reduce crime requiring more cops and prisons and make everything better by starting by throwing away $12 billion worth of carbon tax revenue. While the rest of us have trouble with grocery prices without cutting our income. .Can he turn water into wine too?

No, that couldn't possibly have any truth to it. [/s] In 1982 the old 'BC Tel" asked for a HUGE price increase and Trudeau Sr said no., Within hours they announced like 2500 layoffs. That was back in the days of regulation and Pierre told them f*ck you, hire them all back at full pay and find jobs if you have surplus workers. I know, I was one of them. Worked in maintenance, rebuild and 411 for years with frozen wages until retirements, buy outs, resignations etc opened postings to apply for. Choice posts like move from the mainland to Haida Gwaii, Mackenzie, Dease Lake etc or quit. You see once you place and tie in the fibre line and build the cell towers one guy can service it all over a huge area, and bandwidth Gigs cost ZERO. So nobody's gonna mess with their cash cow or they'll suffer the wrath of the Telcos.

I confess, I am one of those elitists that got good enough marks to graduate and go beyond High School.

Do you mean correct or capsized starboard? You seem to want the latter far more than steadying it.

Driving while hung over isn't an offence. Unless you confuse "hung over" with "still drunk". Like a lot of people who chugged a 40 pounder and had a three hour nap seem to think.

I feel genuine pity for people who won't hear the news on CBC-CTV-Global_CITY or read it in the Vancouver Sun or the Globe and Mail "because it's biased" Genuine pity..... we all can't be blessed with reason and common sense and that's just too hard for some to learn.

Carbon Tax: Define How It Works -- IF You Can, That Is
herbie replied to Eddy's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
So figure it out Eddy. If you just simply won't change your habits it will cost you more and more and more. Complain louder and louder and call people stupid, that always gets children what they want. -
Team Trump loses another one.

Oh, so much losing... just keep pushing The Rapist and his lackeys. -
Our Census Form vs Their Ballot
herbie replied to August1991's topic in Canada / United States Relations
Yes I did my stint in Cdn polling places too. I can't believe that in the USA they'd be so lax that id10ts could claim massive fraud like Trump did and have anyone believe it. Maybe they should send UN Observers to oversee their 2024 elections. That was why I wasn't for your purple thumb idea in Canada. Your are checked against a registry, counted by hand under the noses of all parties scrutineers, If there's any issues - like out of your area or riding, you were witnessed as eligible, not on their voter list etc, it goes into a separate (used to call it section eight) and is only counted on recounts or disputes. And I do know many weirdos who don't vote out of laziness and so-called "religious" objection who deserve to be brushed to the wayside. -
The many problems with Electric vehicles.
herbie replied to taxme's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Don't like EVs and want to do something actually constructive other than whine on an obscure Internet forum? Then start lobbying your MP, not to end the EV mandate but to amend it with a 5-10 year grace period for simple hybrids. They reduce CO2 significantly, are cheaper than plug-in hybrids and BEVs and run exactly like your car does today. Sure, ban new ICE only in 2035 but use the same reasoning as with natural gas - it's less damaging and an interim step that is doable right now. Lay off criticism of everything new you just don't understand like renewable energy sources, hydrogen, fuel cell EVs, etc. They're all coming but we can't do it by tomorrow morning. * addressing the pooh-poohing of hydrogen as it's "too expensive" right now, do you know what that definition of too expensive" is? Research it and discover that a hydrogen fill up costs almost as much as gasoline fill already does in Vancouver ! Oh the horror, the horror... the world would collapse. -
The many problems with Electric vehicles.
herbie replied to taxme's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Even one coal fired plant that can charge 100,000 electric cars emits less CO2 than 100,000 gas vehicles, but no,,, that's too hard for some people to grasp. Just like the fact if you drive 50km to work and back everyday. you are the stupid one for not owning a BEV, a PHEV already, Admit it, you just can't afford a new car you you've found something to whine about the people who can, I enjoy Scotty Kilmer's videos, but as far as electrification of cars, he's an obstinate id10t. Just the other day mentioned a guy in Northern Manitoba with an F150 Lightning who's range was cut massively at -40 degrees. Adn another who's Tesla took hours to charge as reasons not to go electric. Failing to mention the Tesla was intentionally left outside in the cold overnight on purpose to show what happens if you freeze the battery. Or that someone in rural Manitoba should consider an F150 EV only, let alone go for a 'drive' at -40. Things common sense NOT TO DO being used to make con EV arguments. If it's -40 your gas or diesel F350 won't start unless you left it plugged in, your tires are gonna go flop flop for miles, steel parts are gonna snap if you hit a pothole and even if you have full defrost blasting right at your face the whole time the slightest moisture's gonna ice up the outside of your window so you can barely see. The leas"plus" in an ICE vehicle is that some of the energy p1ssed away by ICE as heat will keep you warm. Think about licking a flagpole at -40 and clue into how cold a battery the size in an F150 Lightning and made entirely out of metal gets and how much energy it takes to warm it up, knowing since you were 6 that your D cell barely runs a flashlight when it's cold unless you stick it in your pocket for a while. If I leave my vape on the dashboard at -20 just to run in and buy more pods, it's only good for a couple drags unless I sit it on the heater. So let's be honest, the gripe is you can't afford an EV and from some of the responses about prices, you can't afford a new car at all. At the start of this thread we saw "well if they were available for $20,000" posts when the average price Canadians spent last year for new vehicles last year was well over fifty thousand dollars.
