I am Groot

You mean people who held duel citizenship. Others are out of luck. They can no more move to Canada or the US than I can move to the US or Israel. I've always supported hate speech as a concept, as long as it's limited to those who are openly, publicly, and repeatedly attacking other groups in a way that is likely to lead to violence. As for 'safe spaces', that doesn't mean safe from contrary opinions but safe from violence and threats. And you ignore the corollary. Your lot has, for years, been demanding safe spaces, and also insisting anyone who says anything that makes any other person feel threatened has to be shut down and punished. If the people occupying these university spaces were condemning Arabs or Muslims and calling them murderers you'd be denouncing them and demanding they all be arrested. But somehow it's okay when it's Jews.

Really? So the sins of the fathers should be visited upon the sons - and grandsons - and great grandsons? Is that what you're saying? I should be punished because some people who look somewhat like me did stuff in the distant past to people who look like some people here today? Doesn't sound like you actually judge people as individuals, after all, but by race.

I disagree on how 'right-wing' the papers are. To say nothing of the networks. All of the papers, as far as I know, and I read a number, have been pretty much marching in lockstep on almost all social issues for many years. It's only been since the housing crisis got bad and a number of economists, including bank economists started insisting immigration was because of it that any of the papers even allowed the slightest criticism of any of it. Even now, even when columnists blame the housing crisis on too many new people they virtually all focus on foreign workers and foreign students. I think I have seen on actual opinion that immigration itself be cut back. Just one. Meanwhile, the major 'conservative' columnists continue to insist Canada needs even more immigration. The same kind of thing goes for the trans issue. Only in the last year or so have I seen anything printed critical of the existing orthodoxy about trans rights. But I've never seen anything printed that calls into question abortion rights, gay rights, or the death penalty (for just three examples). Some of the Postmedia papers will ruthlessly criticize the Liberals for crime and weak sentencing but no one dares to criticize Gladue. And you won't find anything printed about the disproportionate number of people with suspiciously dark faces on the wanted lists, or the disproportionate number of people with immigrant-sounding names being arrested - when they even name those arrested anymore. They've mostly stopped doing that BECAUSE of those suspiciously immigrant-sounding names. There have been a few columns in the NP about the complaints and demonstrations about what is being taught in schools on trans stuff, but almost nothing about the degree of leftist tilt that has now infected the K-12 grades and what they're taught. And I've seen zero notice taken by the papers of the number of immigrants involved in all these anti-Israel/anti-Jewish/pro-Hamas demonstrations. Very little criticism of multiculturalism either. Right wing? I don't think so. I pay for news. So saying 'nobody' is incorrect. Young people won't pay for it, but they never bothered to consume it anyway. I would wager the age at which young people can be termed 'mature' has been pushed back quite a few years since I was younger.

They are less accountable now that a big chunk of their income comes from the government. Does anyone really think the Conservatives will continue that? Or that they'll fight the social media giants to ensure they divert some of their advertising profits to the MSM? It's not in their interests to have the Tories win. That's particularly so for the CBC.

If you had ever gone to a school you would know that ignoring school rules and refusing to obey them even after you have been repeatedly warned tends to get you expelled and then banned. And if you then return you get arrested. Is that all too complicated for you to understand or do you need to consult the Iranian embassy to have it explained to you?

I judge society by the quality of life of the majority of its citizens.

Particularly when you tell them an election is not the time to discuss complicated policies. She was destroyed when she accepted the job of Finance Minister, a job she was absolutely unqualified for. And her sweeping denials of any responsibility for anything have not endeared her to the population. She is as disliked as Trudeau now.

He was a weak flip-flopper.

I am not so sexist as to assume a female would be any way better or worse than a male leader. To vote for someone simply because they're female, or to make them leader simply because they're leader would be absurd. I see no females on the political scene who strike me as ready to be the leader of anything. I might point out that every provincial leader we've seen has been an incompetent failure from coast to coast. So have the NDP female leaders.

Campbell was, according to Mulroney, among others, too busy shacking up with her Russian lover to pay much attention to that campaign. She made many missteps and misstatements and blew the lead she had.

You insult me and everyone here with your incesent whining about how Israel isn't perfect and can't entirely avoid civilian casualties. You insult everyone here with your incessant whimpering about the lot of a small number of civilians killed in Gaza when you showed and continue to show ZERO interest in all the hundreds of thousands killed in Syria and Yemen and Iraq, not to mention Sudan. You insult my intelligence by ignoring the clearly explained facts and continuing to snivel. Please, just go away.

No problem. You arrest everyone camping out, those who are students get expelled and banned from campus. That'll clear the place out soon enough.

This is the kind of thing Douglas Murray talks about in how certain types of Westerner hold Israel up to impossible standards no one else is expected to meet. You never cared about the slaughter of Iraqis or Syrians or Yemenis, but now that Israel is in a justifiable war every single civilian casualty makes your eyes bulge with outrage. I've posted articles detailing the incredible amount of effort they are making to avoid civilian casualties as much as possible, an effort no Western military has ever bothered to go to, an effort no Arab country would even consider, and you ignore it. You want Israel to somehow sneak through hundreds of thousands of ferociously hostile Palestinians to carefully find the bunkers their leaders are hiding in and just kill them. As if that would do the job when there are thousands of armed supporters still outside. You think they're going to do what then? Surrender? Why should they? They crave martyrdom fighting Jews! And most of the young men in Palestine have been raised to crave the same thing. The US dropped nuclear bombs on Japanese cities in order to spare their troops the enormous casualties they'd get if trying to attack them through the shield of millions of Japanese people who had been taught to resist to the last person. And you want the IDF to somehow take over Gaza without using bombs, missiles, artillery, and probably grenades either. So what if their casualties grow exponentially! What do you care! Anyone who supports Palestinians is welcome to go live there. Including you.

I don't even know what you're talking about anymore. Do you? If you're referring to the terrorist rapists who attacked Israel, they should all be hunted down and exterminated like the vermin they are. If you're talking about their immigrant supporters in Canada, they should be deported. Perhaps he's just not so weak-minded as to see the information flows tailored for them by progressive anti-semites and demonstrations funded and organized by Iran, and think this is the side he should be on.

And I'm telling you for the last time that immigrants who think raping and torturing women to death constitutes a great victory to celebrate should no longer be immigrants or citizens and should be deported back to the shitholes they came from.

If you go out to demonstrate with the "ONE GUY" who is shouting "Death to Jews" then you can hardly claim innocence when someone calls you a Nazi. And the ONE GUY in Ottawa who praised Oct 7 had no pushback from the demonstrators following him. In fact, they applauded and cheered him. Then they should return there and leave mine alone.

Not invading? Are you saying the thousands of fighters, sometimes accompanied by eager civilians, who crossed into Israel to rape, torture and murder children, women, men and old people is a 'false flag' or something like that? It didn't happen? What I 'alluded' to was they killed everything that moved. They were on a slaughterfest, and their own videos showed the glee with which they conducted their anti-Jewish pogrom. Are you saying they made it up? Are you saying if they had ten times as many people and better weapons they wouldn't have succeded in slaughtering thousands more innocent people? No, I am explaining the mindset of religious fanatics full of hate, who have been indoctrinated since childhood to believe the highest attainable goal for them is martyrdom.

I'm also referring to the ONE GUY who was shouting praise of Oct 7 in Ottawa the other day. He was definitely foreign-born from his accent. And the ONE GUY who was threatening people in malls. And the ONE GUY who referred to the people living near a bridge in Toronto as Zionist scum. And, just while we're at it, how about everyone involved with organizing the protests? Since their primary loyalty is clearly to their homeland and they cling to the political views, values and hatreds of their homelands, they should return there. We don't need them here.

Oct 7 demonstrated overwhelmingly what Palestinians would do if they had the power to do it.

The UN and most other agencies largely employ Palestinians there. The non-Arab members of NGOs are almost all fellow travelers who, like the people interviewed in the Atlantic article, have no issue with lying to make Israel look worse. I don't know why you ask that. I don't agree. An independent Palestine would be a war waiting to happen. Only it would be far, far worse than the one going on now. Those dumb twats who chant about a 'free palestine' are not talking about a democratic state. They're talking about a theocratic dictatorship similar to Iran. Which is what Hamas promised and what they got elected for. I'm talking about the immigrants who are demonstrating in our streets and threatening Jews and demanding my country cater to their own religious zealotry.

I'm okay with that. We can ship all the protesters over there first, though. No loss to humanity would ensue. By the way, what 'accusations' have I made that are 'unfounded'?

Oh, you are in your own way. Because Hamas told you so. And you trust Hamas. But the numbers coming from Hamas are deeply suspicious in that if the IDF and western intelligence agencies are correct in how many Hamas fighters they've killed EVER OTHER PERSON has been a woman or a child. Do you not find that even slightly suspicious? How about that? You mean they're living like the people in Sudan and Yemen and Syria? Hamas has already rejected a cease fire. By the way, there was a ceasefire in existence when Hamas attacked. What you really are pissed off about is that Israel won't pull back and let Hamas regroup and rearm so they can launch more rape/murder/torture raids into Israel. Right? Oh, you're not? And yet that is the certain result of pulling back. So that must be what you want. How many German civilians died when the Allies insisted on going all the way to Berlin and taking the capital? Should they have backed off to save the civilians? I think the IDF needs to take over all of Gaza. And I don't really give a damn how many Palestinians it kills doing so. They brought it on themselves. And if not born here then deported back to their country of origin. And if they've obtained citizenship it should be stripped from them.

Not even remotely. But your tactics are starting to resemble that of Joseph Goebbels.

As in just move illegally? That's more an Arab thing. And who says there are dozens of countries where they would be safe? Apparently, they're not even safe at elite American universities.
