  1. If you ever read a real newspaper, you'd know we're aiming to take in 400,000 immigrants, none the epitome of an Ugly American. Though with multi-culturalism any MAGAs here could still tongue bathe Trump and lament the loss of their 44 Magnums and silently loathe the very people who made the tacos they're stuffing down their throats.
  2. Science is about the ONLY resource. Something you don't have to believe in, because it works whether you believe in it or not. If you don't know that, you don't know shit.
  3. Well hurry up and start up a draft. And BTW not the ones who need medical marijuana, we don't want the sick and infirm. The healthy ones can just go to the Pot Shop and buy real weed with their own money like the rest of us. We'll put in an order for a couple hundred thousand non-MAGAs right now. New Zealand will most likely take some too.
  4. But ya gotta blow things up, blow 'em up real good ! Million dollar cruise missile to blow up a Toyota pickup good, it's the MAGA way!
  5. Once again you present the same critiques of battery power as if problems aren't already being, can't or ever will be addressed. And not the issue of Ontario, where cars are made investing in them.
  6. sounds more like you'd like people to believe that. Now how about coming up with an actual reason that Ontario should'nt be investing into EVs. Do you want it to lose auto manufacturing jobs?
  7. I'm not arguing whether this quota system is good or bad. I'm making the same argument I always make that the people who are supposed to manage are useless f***s interested only in blaming something or someone else fpr their incompetence. We talked decades ago about the Peter Principle, now we're living with the consequences. The top levels of everything are fully staffed with people who can't or just won't. Not just gov't bureaucracies, everywhere!
  8. Yeah I heard the 'talking heads' claim they're maneuverable too. Duhh that thing underneath must be a propellor... duhhh Like you ever in your life see a commercial blimp or balloon that was completely round and had no outboard engines? Never heard of hot air balloons going off course? Contests trying to land them close to the X, with a pilot onboard? FFS the entire USA believes in conspiracies before they'd believe in f***-ups. Besides, it's shot down over the Atlantic
  9. It isn't the problem in this case. How the f*** do you go 30,000L over your quota? Are we gonna take the same stance if someone goes 200 tons over their salmon quota? If you have a quota you try to stay within it, sell off a few cows, buy a few more. Not run a couple hundred or a thousand more than you need. They're there to maintain a steady price for the dairy farmers, and like fish, wheat and other quotas have been manipuated and speculated into selling quotas into massive conglomerates. It's the like TWO bread companies and TWO cheese companies shovelling in the money and hosing everyone in the country. How come I can buy two or three times the amount of CDN cheese at Costco, or imported cheeses subject to duties for less than CDN cheddar at regular stores? If every single corner store in the country didn't sell mo;k and bread you know damn well we would be gouged $7 a litre for milk and $5 a load for bread. Loblaws, Sobeys, SaveOn are completely innocent and blameless, just like Exxon. Chevron and Shell are, eh? You're all dreaming if you think any savings will be passed on to you - like all the the savings you got for self-serve gas, the 'savings' from ATMs that work 24/7, from the self-checkouts that put your kid out of work.
  10. Jeez looking at those pics of him in tennis shorts, seems The Oaf wears 3 pampers at once. No, no! Just one... it said 18-22lbs on the box and they're not even half full yet!
  11. Maybe they wouldn't shoot it down because they thought the Chinese used acetylene in the balloon as the USA pretty much has a lock on helium.... that would be fun to watch!
  12. Hey c'mon! We can't afford B52s and ICBMs. And we still have that British 'make do' heritage.
  13. Yeah and that was SO effective wasn't it? SPY balloon my ass. Might as well put cameras on a wasp or hornet they're about as steerable and predictable as a balloon.
  14. If you're producing more than your quota, you're not running things right are you? It's not the quota to blame. Specially in a market where you have no way to unload it. Whenwe lived in the Fraser Valley everyone knew where to go and when to get chickens and eggs that were over quota. Even the odd place to get your illegal whole milk... The stereotypical "free market" response just works so well on other things in the supermarket... like a dollar more for everything each week and BS media releases claiming the almost weekly price increases as 'yearly inflation figures". Fix it! You don't just tear shit down and just repeat propaganda as a solution.
  15. $7 a litre! Where do you live Nunavut? It's $2.39 a litre here and if the farmers are getting 90c that's not bad. The problem is wastage of overproduction, perhaps if cheese makers weren't charging like the colour of cheddar comes from mixing in gold dust we coould solve some of it. Or go back to buying it at a lower price. powdering it and giving it away as foreign aid.
  16. Yes I read his post and "most" people would disagree with him. Accommodating one group does NOT impose it's values on others and every other thing he listed was a valid opinion held by many. But if you've set your mind to stone that discouraging hatred is 'stirring things up" you've bought the program of those so right they're wrong.
  17. No! No! No! Biden and Trudeau took all that money out of our pockets, this is loony leftist gov't disinformation fake news!
  18. She shouldn't have been appointed as she has a personal opinion? Or because she has personal opinions that you not a Liberal, do not agree with?
  19. Yeah it is good to have people like me who know it's 2023 and not 1953, isn't it? Someone who's actually seen maps and globes and can figure out if you want to launch a surprise attack you don't do it from as far away as possible.
  20. Now that we've heard from the batshit insane it's time to hear from anyone capable of even knowing what they're talking about.
  21. Yeah I know you think shootings in Mosques and running them down on sidewalks was ll leftist media lies. No problem, it's all good, eh? I guess so to people who think even mentioning racism is a blow against whitey, that being opposed to fascism is fascist and thinking black lives matter is a mortal affront to white people.
  22. No FFS they wouldn't shorten flight times, if they wanted to nuke anything they'd do it from the west coast or east coast where it would. They don't need to traverse E-W in our waters, they can do it in their own waters or use their own bases on the oceans that matter worth shit. And perhaps you don't believe it, but the Russians are sure the Yanks can tell if they enter the NWP? They've got sensors everywhere else on the planet.
  23. Should've hired Mr John A. White, eh? Maybe Andrew "Dice" Clay as Minister of Women's affairs? Hell that's as bad as Trudeau appointing an actual environmentalist to head the Ministry of the Environment instead of a retired Oil Sands exec, right? Oh wait, anything logical is lefty lunacy these days. Guess I'll have to join you and stick my own head up my ass so far I can't hear myself screaming denials.
  24. True enough. I guess we need a West coast navy to stop Columbian drug cartels from smuggling all that marijuana into BC?
  25. During the Cold War we had... the operative word. Not having a base in Germany there's no need for our tanks there. And aside from training crews and tech, little need for them here either. You don't fly 40 ton tanks to where the war IS. And this arctic panic shit = WTH would Russia send vessels through "our Arctic"? What possible benefit would they derive from that? There's no need for oceanic shortcuts from Russia and only range disadvantages for boomer subs.
