We're talking about climate reduction efforts here in Canada. China has nothing to do with that. Nothing, S.F.A. to do with efforts in Canada. So STFU about China, you're not discussing the issue only distracting from it. Which seems to be a standard practice, but China but China but China but China..... Why no talk about the Holy Conservative Concept of Privatization where we could all be like Alberta and a handful of power countries would just tell us how to do things? Wahh costs too much, wahhh to fast, bawww not cost efficient, OMG it will cost you more cuz we weren't gonna raise our rates to line our pockets over that 15 year period we nee to milk you for 30....

Substandard service: a new normal in Canada's public systems?
herbie replied to myata's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
and who came after? The guy who was in power when all the mills shit down and the doctors all left, when they centralized federal services 100 km away? Yet you're only blaming Trudeau for not fixing the problem and implying bringing back the other guys will fix. not degrade them further. Most likely they'll do exactly that or nothing at all and blame Trudeau's overspending as to why they can't or won't. And you'll buy that song too. -
Substandard service: a new normal in Canada's public systems?

You actually believe a Tory govt will deliver better public services do you? Shows hoe brainwashed people can get. They'll cut your services. They'll privatize your services and try to tell you they're better, even as you get less and pay more. -
Substandard service: a new normal in Canada's public systems?
herbie replied to myata's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Let's ignore the same in private 'services'. Charging you to use machines that don't take breaks, holidays, vacations or maternity leave like banks. Closing tills, laying off staff. forcing self checkouts. Laying off 6,000 Telus ppl in customer service at Telus to go to AI. All the usual crap. And convincing the public this is "good service". But let's whine about govt services that actually rely on skilled willing people that you can't produce overnight. -
Anti Vax Crackpot Has Case Thrown Out
herbie replied to Aristides's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
A former friend I had great respect for because of his technical knowledge insisted that I make doctors try Ivermectin when my wife was within days of dying from small cell lung cancer. Claimed 'his friend from Church' was completely cured of a brain tumour from one dose. Sad to see people you know with dementia. Hollow gullible shells of their former selves. The checks and balances we need are ones to keep people that mentally deficient from influencing decisions that affect all of us. -
Never lose the financial perspective that paper bags cost a dime or more instead of half a cent for plastic. Realize the politics of saying you're doing it for the environment instead.

Yes, they did it all just yesterday. IF they'd just stop fighting forest fires and floods, fire all the doctors and nurses, just stop and walk away from the gas pipeline and Site C dam construction, make the fools in Surrey pay 100% of their foolish policing decision, sell BC Ferries and let Black Ball Ferries resume once a day sailings to the island and sell the Agricultural Land Reserve to foreign real estate developers we'd be rich and happy. Or maybe they could sell off (or 999 year lease for #1) the whole education system to some Florida right wing organization so they'd stop indocrinating kids that govts should DO something for the voters with the money they collect. Or maybe the Bozos from the Taxpayers Federation could run for office and see how well they do (hah hah).

How to be a religious hypocrite: -Proclaim your Christianity yet always refer only to the Old Testament. -Oppose abortion and support the death penalty as after all, the First Commandment. Even if terminating a debatable person differs from killing an actual adult one. -Add on fierce opposition to Communism while believing the State has the right to kill, but you as an individual don't.

Anti Vax Crackpot Has Case Thrown Out
herbie replied to Aristides's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Some people have their minds closed so hard they can't tell if it's day or night. Just how much evidence will it take to convince them he's a loonie-tune? Could be buried under a mountain if it and still claim the quack was correct and the Judge clueless. -
BC's one screw up on joining Confederation was not demanding a link like PEI did. Soon to be a million people on Vancouver Island and ferries aren't gonna keep up with demand. Though I concede the semi-isolation is part of the place's charm. I tried my best to post there years ago but you needed so much seniority you'd already be retirement age! Thought the Bands along the lake here should buy the Queen of Surrey and run it up and down the lake between the reserves as a floating casino.

Florida Neanderthals Strike Again
herbie replied to Aristides's topic in State Politics in the United States
Because Republicans believe even the late 16th century was too "woke" a time. -
It doesn't, much as you'd like to convince everyone otherwise. I say again, pics or it never happened.

Yes I see all these sotries of school shootings in the USA so I knoiw it happens all the time everywhere and have to home school my children in Melonville Ont. for their own safety. Cancelled their visit to Disneyland because all Americans are machine gun toting psychotic serial killers too. We know it, we read it somewhere once so it happens all the time everywhere outside your door. Vancouver just had it's 2 day Pride Festival and not a peep about it, even though with 2 million people in the area, there had to be enough bigots about to make a crowd of fools.

Used to get a kick out of 600 lb life on TV. I have no idea how I got like this... (stops for 7pc chicken snack on way to weight clinic...) I was waiting for the doctor to tell someone, You're supposed to eat just the fiet, not my diet as well... sort of like thinking drinking Diet Coke with a cheeseburger and fries & dessert will make you skinny. The wife was fairly large, one day her friend asked what her son's name was and I piped up "Gilbert Grape". She punched me so hard I fell off my chair. I'm not skinny myself. When I was 20 I was 6'2" - 200lbs, played college rugby and punched out a dork at Motor Vehicles who told me I was 'grossly obese' and needed a medical certificate to apply for a taxi driver license.

The last one... Canada better get used to
herbie replied to myata's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Yeah that was about the most overkill show of power the arsehole managed. Even outdid the 'liberating' of an island the size of a postage stamp, selling drugs for Contra guns and convincing the Ayatollah to not release the hostages until Carter was gone. But then again, his faults pale to the braggardly incompetence of the Orange 1diot. -
So vote for the Conservatives next time. Remember: BC Unity is just them damn liberals in disguise... out to fool people like you.

Ban the unions, take away the right to strike, get rid of the minimum wage. Whip them until productivity improves. -
Asides responding to everything like an a$$hole do you have anything worth contributing? Well I'm annoyed that everytime they raise the tax two cents, they ALL raise prices by a dime. Now they hide it, raise it by a dime the day before they apply the 2 cents tax so they keep the whole dime. But I guess I'm the only one that gives a shit about getting ripped off, everyone else simply wants to gripe about the govt. Just like the grocer's BS line "we haven't raised our margins at all" when margins are a percentage over the cost. So if cost doubles and margins stay the same, you make twice as much. How did you think they got those record profits?

In other words, so long as the gummint revnooers aren't getting so much as penny you're all fine with the companies ripping you off for a dollar. Because you don't want the gov't that actually does stuff for the whole country with the penny because it's all about you.. That's why I told the Taxpayers Federation to f*ck off and get out of more store when they came soliciting, A 0% PST and 0% GST wouldn't affect sales in the least. Now then a 0% GST and 0% provincial property transfer tax sure as hell would in the housing sector, wouldn't it? But no Giant Conglomeration runs housing so we hear S.F.A. on that.
