Rhode Island shooting: Mother and child ‘shot by trans father’ at high school ice hockey match Two dead three injured. Sounds like the local guys managed to jump "her" and take them down before "she" could do more damage. What is that, 4 mass transshooter cases in the states and one in Canada in the last year? What the hell. I don't remember hearing of this sort of thing with transpeople historically and they've got more support now than they ever have had, why is this happening.

Well certainly that's one position some people do take on the matter. The only thing i can say with certainty is that it should be people's right to believe in their beliefs whether it be like the catholics the muslims or yours provided they don't interfere with other people's rights and right to believe.

That's a flaw with the church not the religion. Jesus wasn't banging any 8-year-olds

Canada's (In)Justice System AKA "Thanks, Bill C-75!"
CdnFox replied to Goddess's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Yeah I've been following that one a bit. The sad fact of the matter is it flew under the radar because it's just not that uncommon. This isn't even the only story like that, there are several that are similar and the truth is currently we are allowing violent repeat offenders back out into our society on a regular basis often the day they are arrested. This one has gained some recent attention because of the video you mentioned but honestly there's nothing unique about it. This is every day in our current liberal world ld -
It's tiny and it's going up again this year so we're back to climbing every year under trump. There's a lot of positive things you can say about what's happening in the economy but it's important to be honest with yourself and not behave like the democrats who convince themselves against all facts and figures that Biden was doing really great We spend about the same and now this year with the budget that trump has passed he will be spending considerably more so we're back to year after year increases according to his current fiscal plan This is a simple truth and it's important to accept it for what it is and deal with it with your representatives. The deficit was out of control under Biden, the deficit is currently under out of control under trump. He was the one that forced this budget through without changes after a government shutdown. This isn't a budget that was inflicted on him by the democrats. And it's got 150 billion dollars more spending in deficit with more plans for the following year And even under Biden he had years where the deficit got better. Trump has a deficit problem. And it's a huge problem. If he doesn't get that under control soon then there will be a backlash down the road which will severely impact the American economy and a massively negative way. The us spent about the same and now this year with the budget that trump has passed he will be spending considerably more so we're back to year after year increases according to his current fiscal plan. This is a simple truth and it's important to accept it for what it is and deal with it with your representatives. The deficit was out of control under Biden, the deficit is currently under out of control under trump . He was the one that forced this budget through without changes after a government shutdown . This isn't a budget that was inflicted on him by the democrats . And it's got 150 billion dollars more spending in deficit, with more plans for the following year. If you take out the cover years he's scheduled to become seriously worse than Biden was. Trump has a deficit problem. And it's a huge problem . If he doesn't get that under control soon then there will be a backlash down the road which will severely impact the American economy and a massively negative way.

Flashbacks to 1999

And my post was a response to your post just before that You said something. I responded. You responded to that Which means you brought it up And now you're derailing the thread looking like a complete twat repeating the same lie over and over again while you're crying your eyes out And you wonder how people figured out that you are a teen kid and living in his mom's basement?

Canada is in denial, and has been for decades.
CdnFox replied to I am Groot's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
I guess that depends on how you're defining political hack and what exactly you mean by acolyte. But if the essence of your comment is that people who speak on politics that claim to be knowledgeable about politics are more respectable than those who have no knowledge of politics yet have strong opinions anyway then... i guess so? I have never heard of Clinton referred to as Baba That's a word for 'daddy' isn't it? -
Very true and i said it was a bad thing then as well Although in fairness to trump it's being used for very different things between then and now. Biden used it to prop up failed economic policy and buy votes with special interests. Trump is using it more to fund transition and pay for tax cuts he hopes will drive the economy, AND he hoped that tariffs would offset the costs of that and bring the deficit down somewhat. So - two different approaches. But that doesn't change the fact that the deficit is brutally out of control and that offsets the gains to the economy. if that gov't spending were cut off tomorrow the economy would crash, the growth insn't entirely martket based right now. Well, no. Not so far. The difference between 2024 and 2025 is almost zero. It went from something like 1.8 to 1.75 trillion, basically no difference. The CONCERN is that the fed estimates for 2026 at this point is that the deficit will CLIMB this year to 1,9 trillion and will continue to rise each year after that based on CURRENT spending projections. That's the budget that was already passed this year (remember the "shutdown") So it's going to be higher this year than it was last year. And unless something radically changes it'll be higher the year after that as well. But of course, trump COULD address that one way or another in his upcoming budgets in 2027 and 2028. But that's not going to be easy, the current economic growth won't cover it, he doesn't want to add taxes. he's already cut a lot of spending, so where's that coming from? Tariffs are only likely lo produce about 250 billion, and that's already figurd into the 1.9 trillion figure. Tariffs aren't likely to increase that much and if they do it'll hurt the economic growth. Soooo.... we'll see. But the us cannot be racking up 2 trillion dollar deficits year after year for very long. Basically, you're funding today's economy with tomorrow's income and we all know how that turns out. And it's currently getting WORSE under trump, not better. No, that's not how tariffs work Tariffs reduce imports, they don't improve exports The export numbers are good news, THat's a healthy sign. but the consumer spending isn't really. Where are the consumers getting that money? A LOT of it is coming from deficit funded govt' spending. Both directly and indirectly. Gov't spends money with company A, company A pays it's staff, staff goes out and buys consumer goods. And the companies that sell those consumer good make more money so they pay THEIR staff who go out and buy more goods, etc. IF the gov't cut that 1.75 trillion deficit out of its' spending the consumer market would crash hard. And that's why i say it's been artificially keeping the economy afloat. As of this moment in time the modestly strong economic growth that the US is seeing is being funded by deficit government spending. So while this isn't bad news by any stretch of the imagination it's not good news until it can happen on its own with government deficits shrinking instead of growing. Anyone can buy themselves an economy, until the credit card runs out. Will have to see if he has a plan for that

So is deficit spending. And all government spending shows up in GDP. Now that doesn't make the GDP numbers a bad thing but it does mean you have to take them with a little grain of salt. The GDP isn't being driven exclusively by market forces. The democrats try to use this argument as well if you'll recall and I said the same thing then with Biden's overspending Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't want to give the impression this is a bad report card. I think when you look at all the numbers you would classify the current economic situation as being a modestly strong and healthy economy. Nothing to write home about but certainly nothing to be unhappy with Flying the ointment is the government spending and it was before trump showed up and I realize you cannot just turn that around overnight. I think his plan is that the economy will grow fast enough that the deficit will begin to come down on its own just through financial growth, but we haven't hit that quite yet. That might take a year or two , it should be coming up relatively soon. Hopefully it will include some relief for the deficit spending. He ain't getting back to zero in a year that's for sure

Trump Admin Narrative On Epstein Falls Apart
CdnFox replied to robosmith's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
That's kind of what you'd expect. You've seen some stuff that is questionable, it's announced that police are investigating, you call up and share information that you have Unless you actually personally witnessed a crime why would you call them before they were investigating. You don't seem to understand how law works or how investigations work
