  1. No one ever accused Trump of being smart. His own lawyers won't let him take the stand in case I'd like to plead the Fifth your Honour on the grounds I might incriminate myself. Because I only did it because...
  2. The meek shall inherit what's left of the Earth.
  3. Do a bit of reading yourself. The question was not 'if the filibuster is proper' it was 'does he have a logical reason to use it'. If you can't answer the question, don't pretend the question was about something else and answer to that.
  4. It's the black or white, for us or agin us mentality Contrarian talks about in his centrist threads. Can address the question? Simply accuse the poster of your knee jerk assumptions without engaging brain. FYI - I have never voted Liberal once. And in all the time I've been on this site, I've seen nothing but 'you must be a Trudeau lover' and zero other response to imbecilic criticism of everything Justin's done. Nor have I ever seen a reasoned alternative offered by the Tories. Pitiful.
  5. Pierre Poilievre set to break a record as he speaks for hours in House to block budget Or is he just following the handbook of his MAGA GOP role models that "Loyal Opposition" equals obstructionism? https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/poilievre-to-speak-for-hours-in-house-to-block-budget
  6. Boy, that sure ended discussion fast. Real kick in the nuts, eh EV haters?
  7. Discussing socialism with American is like talking to your dog about Java script. The general consensus is that anything that benefits society as a whole is socialist and therefore evil incarnate.
  8. It means they'll have hold the GOP Convention in a prison. And these Yahoos don't even realize the desk in the Oval Office won't fit in a cell.
  9. The Church of England, the Diet Pepsi of Catholicism.....
  10. I'm sure if the CIA hired me to go spy on Russia the first thing I'd have to do is go to Moscow and register as a foreign agent. Boy then we could close CSIS, the CIA and MI5 and save all of 'your' tax money! FFS! When they get caught they are on a registry, and often get booted from the country. You think they're gonna list than on Google so landlords and Joe Curious can look it up? FFS if you really believe a former Governor General can't be trusted simply because he knows the Trudeaus and that Singh is only in it to get his pension or he'd get some kind of 'advantage' by triggering an election and ruining any chance of completing denticare and pharmacare - then believe that the reason they haven't gone back to the Moon in over 50 years was cuz it really was made of Green cheese and Americans only like cheddar.
  11. They keep it to groom their children.
  12. Singh says NDP won’t trigger election over Johnston, interference. Why? What an incredibly stupid question to ask.
  13. Might have something to do with no one in their right mind would want to move to Russia. There were in the old USSR when all those 3rd world commie countries sent students there to train. Amazing how people who automatically tie 'immigration' and 'non-white' together yet still deny that they're racists.
  14. Duh... yo mama told you that, no need to lurn nuthin else.
  15. Shitting and peeing lead to rape. So does washing up.
  16. Gee Deluge spoken just like someone who lives in a country that doesn't even have a liberal party. I can't imagine living a life of projecting your own imagined fears onto something that's not even there. It's the bogeyman, Marge! The bogeyman!
  17. The right number is 42, All of them HERE. So they have to build the new subdivision they laid out 10 years ago and at least one will have the brains to open a restaurant that's open at dinner and doesn't serve hamburger and chicken wings or mock Chinese food. And some will be kids with enough foreign work ethic to mow lawns and shovel driveways to earn their own money. I'd even bet at least a dozen would know how to use a hammer and a saw and would be eager to do handyman jobs for $25 hr.
  18. OMG just like the bathroom in their own house! Travesty! Imagine your daughter having to see her brother wash his face at the next sink! (Imagine worse for boys, all those girls reminding them to wash their hands all the time)
  19. Not on what only the CRA insists are not gifts. Or next it will be on lottery wins, pay double tax on BOGO sales and bullshit like how some Provinces insist retailers remit the tax value on the regular $1.49 price, not the 99c sale price, how they decide what tax you pay on a car sale (don't care you paid $1000, the bluebooks $2000) or here in BC 12% on a private sale because it wasn't fair for their car dealer backers.
  20. Oh for God's sake, the Conservative Bastion of Alberta lost seats and squeaked out just enough votes in some ridings to win, and you guys are so blind you can't see and are celebrating... go right ahead.
  21. My point entirely. Don't care if they're swimming in p!ss, only that it will cost something to clean it up. And at this point in time nuclear is more expensive and takes longer to implement. Which doesn't mean we abandon that option. But to compare the cost of Quebec's Hydro Project or BC's SiteC? WTF do you think nukes cost? How many small reactors would you need to compare to the output of either project? And the forum trolls habit of claiming I posted the exact opposite of what I did and that if I suggest A might be better than B then I'm opposing B entirely merely shows the childlike lack of communication and argumentative skills possessed by many here. We'd be even stupider not to build them as 90% of the cars we build in Canada are exported and EVs are the growth market. If you think about the total number of EV cars built today and of charging them all in Canada today, or the number of EVs there might be used tomorrow and the infrastructure today, you could justify your claim. You can't if you take the number of EV cars in use here today and the infrastructure today, nor can you predict tomorrow's sales and tomorrow's power. You want to talk about waste, then point the finger where it belongs at the makers. Blackmailing everyone. Give us subsidies, weaken your labour laws, hand out grants, give us tax holidays, free land, fork out EV incentives so we can just hike the prices and gobble them up too - or we'll build the factory elsewhere.
  22. I'm not making generalized observations about 'conservatives', just the extreme right who seem to think they are the conservatives. Yeah you can claim the "right" along with Pinochet, Franco and Mussolini. Most conservatives don't believe in banning abortion, insisting spreading hate is free speech, re-criminalizing drugs and homosexuals and insisting that punishment is the only response to abnormal behaviours and whatever punishment there is already is not enough. Or understand tolerating someone different is just too f***ing woke for them to do.
  23. It can't yet it has and does? And nuclear is still the most expensive. Less expensive than it was, only because they're considering smaller plants. And you think anyone will stop whining about paying the carbon tax if they dedicated every penny to building nukes? Not a chance in hell, they're opposed to doing something about greenhouse gases unless someone else pays. That's obvious in this thread.
  24. I said no such thing. I said nuclear is more expensive, it always has been because of long timelines and massive safety precautions. One of the same arguments used against other green options until that situation reversed in the last few years. We can use those now, whereas 10-20 years from now to get nukes online. Do it faster and cheaper and isn't that the whole root of the proclem - no one likes to have to spend money? Nukes are going to have to be considered for long term solutions though. And banning stupid wastes of energy like bitcoin mining.
