Why is acknowledging what happened equal shame and guilt? Why do you think acknowledging Canada was settled by Europeans, reflecting on it and embracing facts of what happened to indigenous people is an exercise in shame and guilt? You prefer it gets ignored? Or denied that it happened? I don’t think you actually know what they believe.

This didn’t age well. Canada will be at 2% next year and is targeting 5% in the future. @Army Guy, Why isn’t Carney your hero?

“Years of discussion” and concern about taxes. No flood warning apparatus. Now dozens of kids are dead. well, at least taxes are low in Texas, eh? https://abcnews.go.com/US/hard-hit-texas-county-flood-warning-sirens-despite/story?id=123531823

Well yeah. The CBC doesn’t do that nearly as much. But mainstream media is owned by very rich right wingers. So to say that they are an example of the “left wing media” overstating climate change is weird.

Give an example of an expert saying Canada is going to end up like Greece.

Example? I will caveat this by saying the media often sensationalizes things all the time. Let’s hear your example of the cbc doing this.

“You’re”. I’m saying Canada’s economic situation is nothing like what happened to Greece. Wasn’t it obvious?

You’re right. It should only be about feelings and rhetoric. Evidence shouldn’t be needed. 😂

How is the news slanted left? Any examples? Or is this going to be like the “left hates Canada” thread with nothing of any substance? @Michael Hardner is trying to find common ground with you, but neither of you can actually provide examples. I think he might be doing it just to show his “centre mainstream both sides are right” bona fides.

Canada isn’t Greece.

No, it shouldn’t represent fringe views. The CBC reflects mainstream Canadians, generally. It’s should not be a shocker when there is generally a liberal bias, as that would be most Canadians.

A country is not a person. Debt is very different between a nation’s finances and a person’s finances.

So do I. But your answer is as vague as people saying “progressives hate Canada”. There’s never any examples. Just vague notions that it must be happening. About a third of Conservative voters in Canada believe in anthropogenic climate change. These voices are drowned out by conservatives (the majority) who are anti-science. https://angusreid.org/environment-climate-change/ You’re right. But they are far from mainstream in liberal politics, unlike conservatives.

You did. I asked specifically about universal dental care and old age pensions and your response was that people should pay for those themselves. So why would I think you are in favour of universal healthcare? Here is the conversation, as your memory seems a bit short: What a dumb question. Tell ya what Tweenkie-poo...YOU pay for it. I'd rather pay for my own family.

What makes you think that it doesn’t? The problem with the loudest of conservatives is that they think talking about things like climate change are a leftwing issue. They literally want the CBC to give equal time to conspiracy theories.
