For you.... again, just in case you missed it on my last retort to you. Just to help you get informed. Here is a list of countries with and without restrictions and there are many that do. Spain just reinstated some. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/storythreads/2022-03-18/where-can-you-travel-with-no-covid-restrictions-list-of-top-2022-destinations

Look, it was a civil post. Not arguing with you. I know you have very negative spins on almost everything. Just expressing my opinion that Canada is far from singular when dealing with a worldwide pandemic. As for Trudeau "also abused the legal system" you are either really ignorant of the legal system or just being obstinate. Unless Trudeau passes laws to change the legal system at which point it would be the majority of parliament and senate that agrees or, the legal system does what it does for everybody, equally.

Conservative Leadership September 10th
ExFlyer replied to Jack9000's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
It's like playing the first 2 periods in May and the third period in September. Does anyone care anymore?? And, the final score is all that counts. -
Your opinion and my opinion. A world wide health pandemic has changed the political complexion of every country in the world. I am truly hoping that you are wise enough to realize Canada is not a solitary nation in this pandemic. All countries had one level of precaution or another. Some more so than others but no country was without action. Each country had to make judgment based upon their population and level of health care. Did some do more? For sure. Did some do less? For sure. Were some populations pissed off with the actions? For sure. Were some populations happy with the actions? For sure. Which one was right? Point is that be it liberal, conservative, communist, Marxist or dictatorship, they all did something that they felt was best for their own country and population. it is hopefully done. Beating a dead virus is now meaningless. As for being a threat to a country, I suspect that other than communist and dictatorships, all leaders are or have pissed off the population in the past few years. Seems a minuscule population group on this forum cannot move on.

new program for depression to be offered
ExFlyer replied to Rue's topic in Provincial Politics in Canada
Thing is, Canada does a flip flop constantly. Mulroney and his conservatism for a number of years then Chretien and his liberalism for a number of years then we get Harpers brand of conservationism and punt him out to get Trudeau and his liberalism. From one end of the political spectrum to the other on a regular basis. In the meantime, a portion of the population is always pissed off. Oh and we also have the fringe NDP, Green, PPC sand whatever other group is out there and their vocal followers that wants recognition. It seems that the party in power, whomever that is, self destructs in a dozen or so years. Unfortunately, the conservatives have been committing political suicide for the past dozen years and seem to still be doing it. The Liberals are unpopular and unwanted but, the competition keeps shooting itself in the mouth. Maybe a term limit should be enacted to force parties to be fresh? -
Conservative Leadership September 10th
ExFlyer replied to Jack9000's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
This is May. Debates are all over. Isn't the leadership vote in September? A lot of crap can happen between now and then. This leadership stuff is not even worth talking about now. So much will change between now and then we should archive this thread and bring it back up end of August. This marathon of a leadership race will just make people tired of the conservatives. Will just help Justin LOL -
Politics is politics. It has always been a clown show. Mulroney was no better, neither was Chretien or Harper. The only real difference between them and now is the advent of social media. There were always political differences and people that disagreed with government just now, it is instant and easy to be anonymous and bash away. You used to complain and whine to your close circle of friends and neighbours but now anybody can be smarter then the next person and can gather many of their ilk to stroke each other.

Never. I said if she were to broach or break her bail conditions she would be violating them and would suffer the consequences. Cut the whining Dude. She still has to face the charges. She may get off but, she will always have that hanging over her head. May even affect her out of country abilities depending how the country she wants to visit looks upon her charges.

Oh stop. If anything it is the republicans that are far more gun ownership crazy. The gun lobby is a very powerful lobby in the US and they can make or break a politician, regardless of party. " Since 1998, gun rights groups have spent $190 million on lobbying, with 60% of that total being spent in the past nine years. Gun control advocates have spent just $30 million since 1998. Beyond lobbying, gun control groups have contributed $50.5 million to federal candidates and party committees between 1989 and 2022, with the vast majority going to Republicans. They spent especially heavily in the 2020 election, with $16.6 million in outside spending. For 2022, they’ve already contributed $4.4 million, says OpenSecrets, based on its analysis of Federal Election Commission data." https://fortune.com/2022/05/25/nra-contributions-politicians-lobbying-gun-rights-groups-record-2021-ted-cruz/

Yes, that is what the story is about Captain Obvious LOL. Quit with the Trudeau shit already. He has nothing to do with the Ontario justice system . It is provincial. She is in shit for breaking existing Ontario and Ottawa City laws. Oh and Taxme and West, get a room for gawds sake, you guys drooling over each other gets old, pull in WesCanMan when you need little more variety

Archie Bunker mentality. Political longevity more important than children's lives I guess.

I am not sure what you think I don't understand? I think, if 2015 is your "change everythign date" that the entire North American political scene changed. We, in Canada, became more American in our political activities and attitudes. We, in Canada, became as adversarial and accusatory as Americans as opposed to our "civilized" previous selves. We certainly had our extremist MP's just as the US had their far left/right congressmen. We had Trudeau Sr for a long time, then Mulroney for a long time, then Chretien for a long time, then Harper for a long time, and now Trudeau for a long time. I think if someone is in power for a long time it creates problems more than it solves. It becomes one persons realm instead of for the people. Look at cities with long time mayors or provincial government with long serving premiers. Same for Prime Ministers. They forget what they are there for and concentrate on staying in power. Maybe of we were forced to change we would look at things differently? Maybe a limit on terms is an option?

Where are the "what is mass shootings" posters now? Where are the mass shooting deniers now? This was not gang or drug related, where are you now?? Where are the deflectors claiming Neo Marxism or other off topic BS now?

Canada's military, how impressive it really is.
ExFlyer replied to Army Guy's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
The lowering of standards to include not just women but others not fit enough or previously not acceptable is definitely a problem. Not justi in the Military though. Standards have been lowered all over to include those that should not be there and that has jeopardized others within the same job. There was, at one time, women joining or applying for positions just because they could. Many did not last long at all such as those in the infantry, or even fighter pilots. I had many come into Air Force trades, many succeeded in the avionics end of the trades as the jobs we primarily in shops and indoors but in the aviation trades where the work was deployments, outdoors and heavy lifting, they all (not all but many) dwindled away. Quota hiring never made things better, just more difficult for those remaining. -
Back to the topic. Another 14 students and 1 teacher shot and killed in a Texas High School I call that a mass shooting. https://ca.news.yahoo.com/gma/texas-elementary-school-reports-active-174500312.html

Canada Needs to Release Race-Based Data for Violent Crimes
ExFlyer replied to Bill67's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
I think you are over reacting. There is a point he is making. Keeping statistics is not a racist manoeuvre. It is to discover who, what , where and when to discover and potentially assist in reducing or preventing the issues. Collecting statistics is not targeting race, it is collection of all data, regardless of who, what , when and where. It is s the same as medical statistics, the collection is hopefully to prevent further or more or intensification of medical issues.- 47 replies

No you did not. You are just making stuff up again. You are quite the expert at that Fact is, I know my rights. Difference between you and I is that I don't imagine stuff in the charter that is not there, I know what is there and is not and, I cannot find anything in the charter that you claim. So, please help me and show me where the "Charter rights to medical discretion" are or is. What paragraph or line or section? I can wait but, I know you cannot find it or respond without defecting so, ....
