  1. I live there too and almost every new home is adding them. They DO work under light snow and most people have the brains to put them at an angle so the snow falls off. Don't imply that because they don't work at 100% for 100% of the time they're NFG. I've used them to charge batteries on mountain tops to keep radios going when the power went off. Go to an EV show in Prince George and talk to people that actually own one. When the display says you used $24 worth of electricity instead of $86 worth of gas it's not bloody lying to you. You live in BC and the dumbasses haven't talked us into privatizing hydro so companies could make as much as possible for providing the shittiest service they can get away with.
  2. Scripture has no place in a political discussion, so drop the whole line of discussion.
  3. Moan. Trudeau bought the pipeline, and it's almost completed. Are you living in a dream world where someone will build more pipelines? Pipelines East is what was needed, it's way too late now no provinces are gonna co-operate. And if you haven't noticed yet, the world is getting off fossil fuels... As for bitcoin nonsense Trudeau nailed it. Last thing we want. A currency that's based on gobbling up energy to make a totally imaginary value.
  4. When all the wants are met is when we stop spending. And when the Loyal Opposition understand cutting the GST permanently was the dumbest move ever.
  5. Well if any country could USE a federal VAT/GST, it's the USA. And NO - the entire point of a GST is to tax consumption, instead of income. Poor people buy less. the rich buy more things and more expensive ones. They carry the burden, the rebates are only needed for the butt-poor. It's the perfect conservative solution to increasing revenue
  6. Even less so than from a dumb redneck. If you want to spout gibberish, make it funny at least.
  7. You can spend if you want to try to fix things You can not spend and not fix things You can cut spending and make things worse. Those are about the only choices a politician can make.
  8. It's just too simple for the simple minded to grasp. Instead of a boatload of programs and bureaucracies you have one. You don't have to file for EI or welfare or CPP. They send you like $1500 a month to live on. When you work it pushes you into a higher tax bracket and they get most of it back. And they don't have to pay umpteen thousands of extra staff to run all those agencies. And please explain how giving you Welfare or EI causes inflation as it is now? Plus there already is all those 'lazy bastards who won't work' as it is, that regardless still had to shop in my store, pay for my services or buy the things that the company I work for makes. If they think scraping by is good, to hell with them. I'll still take their money. It's as good as yours!
  9. Wouldn't that be fun? We'd do it like they do on the Discovery Channel instead of hate everyone a bit different.
  10. Save your breath your talking with ppl who think commies and nazis are the same thing and don't lnow how the simplest of things work. And worst of all don't care to know or even learn. You know like when I was on EI and now the CPP the Trudeau communist dictatorship wouldn't let me look for a job and won't let me get one anymore and controlled how much money I could have? Evil, just plain evil I tell you. And those bosses, they just want to make ouit one remittance form instead of a shitload every month just like the gov't could run one agency instead of twenty dozen... just more money in their pockets yada yada yada
  11. Oh FFS I didn't work for the last Census because I saw so much whining over a short form census by Jed Clampett and sovereign person types about their privacy, they'd have to pay me $65 an hour or more. It's a census, it figures out how much funding and infrastructure planning is needed in your country, province, city or rural district. Just STFU and fill it out. Online - in like 5 minutes.
  12. And you'd be shouting how they were breaking promises if they'd decided to do just that. You'd condemn them for doing what you wanted them to do, just as you do for giving tax money back to the people. Condemn them for making a deal with the NDP, condemn them for sticking to it. Condemn them for taxing and spending when they didn't tax more, condemn them for spending because they didn't tax more. Move South and join the Republicans if your idea of good politics is nothing more than obstruct everything.
  13. No it isn't you dummy. It's biological imperative. You should learn the difference.
  14. Cuz ya can't answer, can ya?. Just more jargon and cliche. Giving tax money back to the people is BAD in your book. Government providing services is just bad, no reasoning needed.
  15. Reality: the evil Trudeau and Singh just announced a boost in GST rebates, the start of Dental care and housing benefit increases. Which one(s) would you cut that will get you the support of a majority of Canadians? Think real hard okay...
  16. Face it, he used you ppl to win the leadership. Now he needs to win an actual election and you're a hindrance. Surely you're not so politically ignorant to think anyone seeking to win gov't is going to promote Convoyer BS, pull down rainbow flags, stop or roll back 'wokism' or even touch the abortion issue. At best he'll be a typical Tory, try to roll back spending and fail by cutting funds to social programs people need and want. Like cut $10 Child Care and buy an obsolete leaky battleship instead.
  17. You're not. That's the problem! It is, in every aspect of the definition. FFS no state is so different from any other as to be as distinct as Quebec is as a province in Canada. Whereas Europe is many distinct cultures and languages formed over millennia. You're trying to claim nationhoods over more cowboys here. more loggers there, more surfers in the next state.... like claiming Alberta and Saskatchewan are separate 'nations' or for that matter BC and NS. Slight differences don't make a nation, huge ones do.
  18. Oh we so F***ING WISH that were true!
  19. You an I are nothing but mammals so let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel -to get away from the His Lordship Pompousass tone of discussion
  20. He FFS still snivelling about Covid shots. Did you get yours? NO? Then nobody made you get one, did they! You seem to be of the mind the lip service support to the Convoy Idiots helped, and you're gonna whine like hell when the minute he takes his seat as leader he drops the subject. PP no longer needs the support of the fringes, he wants to win an election and needs the support of average voters to do that, not you. You can all run off and change your tune as soon as the roads change to no abortion debates, pro-immigration policies, being forced to spend money to keep the public content and coming up with a viable, actual Climate policy.
  21. There's no bottom to the cesspool of lies when you call out a narcissistic lying sack of shit like Trump. But True Believers will keep eating the shit hoping to eventually get to the bottom of it.
  22. You want to argue that? They didn't nearly bleed to death to become just that? If you picked out any random citizen they wouldn't identify themselves as an American? Like the whole 'melting pot' thing! WHACK ( with 2x4 )!!! Do you get it now?
