    Wow liberals are all for authoritarianism if its their party doing it.

    If their party is doing it then it's not authortarianism, it's just them helping the 'deplorables' to understand what the right thing to do is, you see :)  Anyone who would disagree with them MUST be horrible people and why would you listen to horrible people anyway? Better to just force them to do what they should have known was the right thing in the first place.

    This is the thread lets stick to it

    He has done what other dictators have done in the past, like Hitler and his brown shirts , Trump gave a voice to people who have lived under rocks for their whole life , a place that society put them to keep them away from our children and out of society, and he also gave voice to the most ignorant among us .  All you have to do to find this truth is go to any video of a Trump rally . The last people you would ever ask advice from are spewing their thoughts in the most ignorant stupidest way. Just watch their source up on stage, Trump, saying the most ridiculous stupid things that can only be geared to the most ignorant among us . Then also listen to their list of things they hate in this country , women , gays, bi's immigrants, you know the endless list. 

         In a civilized society you wouldn't give voice to the weakest most hateful and ignorant among us . But that is exactly where trump got his extra voters needed to be elected. 

        The major point is that it will be very hard to take away these  rejects and ignorant voice because no time in history has their opinion been asked for and they will fight like hell to keep the only voice they have ever had. . You wouldn't go to a Mental institute or jail to get political advice. Trump would.

    That's already been shown to be a lie.  Why do you want to stick to a lie? Are you hoping that if you repeat a lie often enough it'll become true?

    Were we?  My post was in response to the OP and then you responded to me.  That sounds like you’re deflecting. 
     

    we were.  And the deflection would be yours i'm afraid :)

    No you are slow and on the draw. You’re going in circles. Are you aware that Russians are neither British nor French?

    LOL - my draw is just fine.  I said the brits and the french founded canada, and the russians helped build canada. entirely accurate :)  that reading comprehension coming back to haunt you is it?

     

    Quote

    If you want to say Canada was founded by the British and French fine even though that’s not what you’ve been saying up until now and you’re now changing your argument

    It is what i was saying. Show me anywhere that i said it was founded by anyone other than those two.

    Quote

    BUT if that’s your new position then you can’t also say it was founded by Russians as you did earlier.

    Show where i said anywhere that canada was founded by the russians. I never have. YOU said it and i corrected you.

    Quote

    As Ive said many times now Russians don’t get to claim to have founded Canada simply because they are the same skin colour as the British and French

    I get than you're trying to change the channel.  That's a pretty common left wing tactic

     

    Quote

     

    ”Canada was founded ONLY by British and French and nobody else” if you want to only speak of founding fathers, politicians judges, institutions, democracy, etc

    OR

    ”Canada was founded by many groups of immigrants some of whom were Russian and some of which were non-whites” if you want to also talk about everyday people who contributed to Canadian economy. 

     

    The first statement is accurate.  The second statement is not even a little bit accurate.

     

    Quote

    But to claims that ALL WHITE PEOPLE INCLUDING RUSSIANS BUT EXCLUDING NON-WHITES founded Canada is absurd

    Good thing nobody but you ever suggested it then :)   what was said is that they  bulit canada and as i noted that was the brits et al , the french, the Chinese and the russians et al.  Building something is not the same as founding it.
     

    Quote

    In my last post I honestly thought “I don’t have to spell it out in this much detail” but I guess that’s something I was ACTUALLY wrong about. 

    Something ELSE you were actually wrong about.

    And you're wrong here again.  The 'british and french" founded canada, chinese and russians helped build canada.

    Your problem is you don't understand what basic words mean. You feel "founded" and "built" are synonyms and they are not. You flip back and forth using terms you don't understand and get confused when people point out you're wrong.

    I'm sure it'll be my fault shortly tho.

    But to Army’s point spending increases appear to be mostly new program spending as opposed to fixing the old programs and departments that have been cut to the bone.  

     

    I'm not sure you're going to be able to demonstrate that.  The military is about the only department cut to the bone, the rest have all recieved increased spending since justin took over and worked better before they did. I mean - which department has been 'cut to the bone'? Abolutely none (other than military).  The number of civil servants right now is at an all time high, and very high per capita.

    Quote

    Furthermore hat we don’t see are commitments to stable long term funding so that departments can make long-term plans and strategic investments . They’re like someone living paycheque to paycheque. Will they get same budget as last year? A lot more?  A lot less? Who knows? Not them!  And for the funding they do get, a lot of it is special purpose funding, one-time funding, strings-attached funding, etc but less of the kind of funding that allows them to make those long term plans and investments or is simply free for them to allocate wherever they may decide its needed.

    I feel like you might be conflating transfers to the provinces - the federal program spending has been fairly stable. 

     

    Quote

    The fiscal austerity we’ve lived under for the past 30-40 years is insidious, the wounds are deep and don’t magically heal overnight, they have multigenerational effect. The military is a perfect example, it’s real easy to create 16,000 unfilled positions in the CAF overnight with the stroke of a pen but it will take years to fill those vacancies with skilled and trained personnel if/when the funding is even ever restored. Even as underfunded as our military is, it often can’t spend all of the money it does receive. It’s like a person who’s been starved for so long they no longer have the strength to feed themselves even when some food is offered  

    You are patently insane if you feel there's been any 'austerity' over the last 30-40 years. Martin and chretien downloaded some costs onto the provinces but very little actually got cut.  If anything there's  been more and more spending per capita.

    The military is the ONLY example. Everyone else gets increased budgets AND we get new programs on top of it.  Trudeau literally just TRIPLED our national debt - borrowing 2 dollars for every single dollar EVER borrowed before him, and the vast majority had nothing to do with covid - and you feel we're living in 'austerity'?  Please.

    If anything we need to dramatically cut services and spending and invest in automation for gov't services. Simplified online applications and forms, fewer rules and regulations requiring less enforcement efforts, trimming away useless services that a provided by the market such as the cbc, etc etc.

    We've had 30 years of spending more than we should. A little fiscal responsibility is what's in order - not more bloat.

    Israeli settlers and soldiers kill Palestinians every day, they got what they deserved, I don't support killings but I understand why they were committed,

     When you say they got what they deserved - you ABSOLUTELY ARE supporting the killings.  Period.  And the torture and everything else. That's how it works. You can't say "they deserved that" and say "oh but i'm against it". That's not how it works.

    And just just out of curiousity - how many gazans did the lady who got her genitals nailed kill again to deserve to die that way? 

    What you're saying is an aboslute lie you tell yourself to justify your support for some of the worst people on earth.  If anyone deserves to die it's them.

    The only struggle here is getting you people to acknowledge the socialism for the wealthy that exists and that's usually obtained thru the efforts of corporate lobbyists and politicians... negotiating

    I wouldn't be surprised to find hookers and coke do play a role in the negotiations.

    That's "union" negotiations :)  LOL - JK!

    I suspect that once even his most ardent followers see him being required to be in Court and behave according to Court rules, and when he doesn't as expected, he will be sent to the silent box so the Court can proceed, and then when his followers see he is not, someone with all his claimed immunities from prosecution but just a convicted criminal on his way to The Big House, A lot of that "loyalty fascination " will evaporate like spilled milk on a hot pillow.

    There's little evidence of that.  In fact if he was sent away for 'mouthing it up' in court they'd look at it as more 'trying to silence him'.  Democrat supporters have believed all along that his legal troubles would sink him and yet every time they heap on more he goes up in the polls.

    I've laid out why i think that is previously - the dems shot themselves in the foot with 7 years of 'russian collusion' which was so obviuosly bull and improperly pursued that now thy feel ANY accusation is politically motivated. And now it's like every charge "proves" that to them even more.

    The dems and their supporters aren't going to stop the trump train in court. That ship has sailed.  It's the next campaign that will matter, they have to make their case there.

  8. Teachers say the Israel-Hamas war has amplified antisemitism at Peel District School Board — and the union and some principals are a big part of the problem

    That same day, on a WhatsApp chat for teachers and assistants at a Peel school in Brampton, an educator wrote: “I feel bad, but then I don’t feel bad because they killed so much Palestinians now it’s their turn.”

    Eight teachers – five Jewish, three non-Jewish – told the National Post that working at the Peel board was distressing even before the terror attacks on Israel. But where the Jewish teachers say they once feared for their livelihood, they say they now fear for their lives. Four out of five of them said they want to transfer out of the Peel board. One Jewish teacher retracted her interview for this story believing it was too dangerous for her to be exposed in any way.

    Furthermore, the teachers say their union is no help, with officials themselves publicly expressing anti-Israel views.

     

     

     

    This is just wrong. If any of those people had spoken against gays or trans they'd be GONE.  But stoking hatred for jews is ok?

    And you're the worst kind of lickspittle to maintaining the status quo. Because of your whining, as an insider no less, over the public demand for more transparency.

    How does this hurt you personally again?

    There is no public demand for more transparency.  THat's just you excusing your own inaction in the face of corruption.

    The liberal supporters see the corruption in the liberal party every day and took no action for two elections. 

    So once again - here's the quesiton you've never been able to answer - if the public won't take action on the corruption the see with the transparency we have now - whats' the point of more transparency?

    Yeah yeah deplorables deplorables everyone right of castro is a nazi.

    The person i see spewing hatred here is you.  And you're not a trump supporter.  So how do you circle that square exactly?

    Here's how you can tell the dems are basically the 'bad guys' in all of this. The REAL truth about dictators and authoritarians is the first thing they want to do is dehumanize their opponents.  Jews aren't real people, they're evil.  The capitalists aren't real people, we communists can kill them guilt free.  Etc etc.

    And of course - anyone who disagrees with the left is a 'deplorable',  an evil subhuman who we can disregard without listening to.

    Shame on you.

    You would do better in life to listen to trump supporters and try to understand why they have a problem with the likes of biden etc. When the dems stop promoting hatred as you have done and start promoting listening, then maybe america can correct it's course and avoid disaster.  Maybe.

    They may be using a different dictionary.  Also - does that mean you're going to get me some hookers and coke?

    Yes I'm sure capitalists babble amongst themselves all the time on how to further their interests.

    All people everywhere babble amongst themsevles about how to further their interests.  Are you claiming you've never spoken to others like yourself about how your interests may be furthered?

    But - if you want to talk to a DIFFERENT group, sometimes you need a laison. That's basically what lobbyists are.

    Quote

    Not compared to the simpler concept you introduced when saying capitalism is strictly economical. Why the need for any negotiation between capitalism and government when you've made it clear it's only required for socialism.

    It's only afternoon and your english skills are already starting to fail. (flail?)  You got it backwards.  Capitalism is an economic entity seperate from governance, so there has to be a bridge between them. Socialism marries economy and governance so there doesn't need to be bridge, they're part and parcel of the same thing.

    And yes that is pretty simple so why the hell are you screwing it up?

    Quote

    While socialims requires gov't participation and is therefore a political AND economic model, capitalism is strictly economical.

    Yes - a clear and simple sentance. And yet somehow you got it wrong.

     

    Quote

    Why do capitalists or corporations need to lobby anyone outside their own circle? 

    Because things outside their circle exist and impact them. So they have to have communication. IF the gov't and the economic model are the same thing then they're both part of the SAME circle and there's no need.

    This is stuff an elementary school student gets. Why are you struggling with it?  When there's two seperate groups with seperate interests that influence each other in some way then there needs to be communication and 'lobbyists' is one way to achieve that in this case.

    BTW - pretty hard to claim that the side who's been nailing women's genitals and burning children is the 'oppressed' side. Hope your bosses give you a nice xmas bonus! Oh ... wait, nevermind.

    Well as long as they're all on the same page that probably works for everyone. :)  Surely they can handle that themselves right, they don't need anyone else's help.  I'm sure we could whip up a few of those suicide martyr booths from futurama :)

    Well that was fast, you usually take at least 2 posts to look that stupid. I will now await your usual attempt to backpedal and deflect - followed by your usual hissy fit when you screw that up too :)   Always fun when you stop by kiddo :)

    No. You’re lost again. The OP in this thread is a person of apparent Russian descent claiming Canada was founded by whites.

    No, you're deflecting again. Regardless of what the op is doing, you and I were having a conversation.

    Quote

    If the claim is that Russians helped found Canada simply on the basis of being early immigrants who contributed to the economy then you can”t say Canada was founded by Whites because indigenous peoples and many early immigrants were non-white and also contributed. Get it?

    I get that you're wrong. Canada was founded by white races.  The french and britsh founded canada.  They were white. End of story. So if that's your position you straight up lose.

    I understood we were discussing who BUILT canada after it's founding, and if that's what the discussion is then it's the french, brits et al, russians et al and chinese. Those are the four major ethnic groups that did most of the heavy lifting in the building of canada the nation.  Not to say other individuals of other ethnic groups didn't  participate meaningfully but as ethnic groups, that's who it was.

    One term of Conservative rule is all it would have taken.  Mulroney had plenty of time and so did Harper.

    That's just stupid. If you're going to make 1diotic statements like that then tell your mom to pack you a lunch and get your ass to elementary school where you belong.

    You're not going to fix the problems with the atlantic fisheries in 4 years.

    Mulroney MAYBE had enough time - but he was focused on the huge debt left by trudeau and in the end when he turned out to be corrupt the Conservative voters burned that party to the ground.

    Harper - he never had the time to do much of anything. He had one actual term between 2011 and 2015.  That's it. 

    And once again your conflating 'stuff you don't like' with corruption. You might think harper should have paid more attention to the fisheries but the fact is that's policy not corruption.

     

    See this is why nobody takes you seriously. You spout on about transparency and corruption but you REFUSE to admit the liberals were corrupt, you insist it's all about the CPC, and when pressed on the matter it turns out you just don't like their policy.  As if them not doing what you like is somehow 'corruption'.

    When you get out of elementary school thinking and start taking this seriously, then you can start talking about what "you've told people before'  - but right now there's just no truth in it at all.
