  1. Sigh - most of those are democrat policies, not republican. If you have to lie to make a point, you probably don't have a very good point.
  2. A socialist might think that - they lie a lot. Medicare is a redistribution of wealth and social security has 'social' right in the title They are socialistic programs - but that doesn't mean that concervatives are against it or consider it to be Social-ISM. I don't think that happens Sill don't think that happens I dont think they said that about bank insurance. Farm price supports literally is socialism so - calling socialism socialism is kind of fair ball and nobody calls public power 'socialism'. Public health care is socialistic, that's why it's called socialized health care in most parts of the world. Some work, some don't. Obama care didn't. And there aren't many conservatives who claim that NO social programs should happen. MOST if not all support some social spending of money. Just like most socialists these days don't want to actually see an end to capitalism entirely, they want 'democatic socialism'. So you've made two false claims. The first being that Conservatives think any gov't spending is socialism and the second being that conservatives think all social spending is evil or doesn't work. Swing and a miss with both.
  3. it was nicely subtle and Shakespeare would have loved it (actually he really would have.) In and of itself it was a moderately ok zinger but in reply to the PM's comment specifically it was pretty good. They can't accuse him of making an inappropriate accusation yet he kinda did. Have you met justin? He's accused the opposition leaders of being everything from white supremisists to neo nazi's to planning to ban all abortions to host of other things. He's literally called opposition mp's a "piece of shit" in the house and told people to fack off etc. He called a jewish mp a nazi. And he's been elected 3 times. A pm has to look strong. If people attack him then he has to show he's got the 'elbows' to smak 'em back.
  4. There is also the matter of indirect vs direct. The russians tend to go on social media and post information or misinformation looking to sway voters. They either really 'sell' things that are true but negative about who they don't like or they'll spread rumors or mistrusts. For example a lot of what they spread about hillary during the us election was quite true and isn't disputed, but they made sure as many people saw it as they could with their limited budgets. That's very different than Actually threatening someone's family or targeting them outside an election. Or illegally funneling large amounts of money into campaigns. Or getting people loyal to your foreign gov't working as direct advisors to an MP without disclosing your direct paid connection the foriegn gov't.
  5. Any body can - after they watch someone else do it. No way to be sure. There's some facts that support it but there appears to have been a oayout and nobody will talk about it, including the PM. And his silence isn't proof in and of itself either way. So ... it might be, or it might not. Which is what makes the reply so well done. PP definitely didn't say it was. Or even directly imply it was. Actually making an accusation would be wrong unless you had a specific reason to. Even implying it directly would be questionable. But when you vaguely allude to it like that you're managing to say "maybe you don't want to dig into work history as much as you think you do big guy" without actually stepping over a line. And to do that on the fly incorporating Justin's own language into the reply is actually very clever. The ability to do that is pretty rare, and it's mostly valuable during an election. Well see how the next election goes for the libs.
  6. Well i think we both know that's not true. A quick comparison between the two especailly in office demonstrates there's a big difference. The PPC is closer to reform than the CPC is. Yeah - i'm going to call bullshit at this point. the socreds were never about getting rid of the jews. And they were in power for many years in bc, it's not like we didn't get a chance to see what they're like. And no politician walked around right after ww2 saying they were going to get rid of the jews as a platform plank. I don't care what they believed. And this local mp that calls you every time you email (which i don't believe in the slightest) is with which party? I"j going to guess that it just HAPPENS MAGICALLY to be liberal? He must be the loneliest liberal in the world to have the kind of time to drop whatever he's doing and physically call everyone who emails him. Only the green party reps have that kind of free time as a rule. First off - this has to do with what exactly? A guy who was first leader of a party 3 decades ago that no longer exists? And having met the man more than once it would be a lie to say he didn't admire the others, he DID admire that lincon stood up for people's personal freedoms but he admired macdonald and others as well. . Reform was about standing up and doing the right thing for personal freedoms. But - i'm sure you can provide quotes where he said he didn't admire the others or even where he said he preferred lincon right? right? No? Hmmmm.
  7. Speaking for black people now are you? Well that's the left for you - white people saving other races whether they want it or not. Thank god you're here to fight his battles for him, hes' obviously incompetent to do so on his own right? So you're just assuming that the kids die due to prejudice. But that's not what the report found. Comparison of mortality, regardless of race, across hospital types revealed that among teaching hospitals, mortality was similar in Black-serving and nonBlack-serving hospitals. However, among nonteaching hospitals, mortality was significantly higher in Black-serving vs nonBlack-serving hospitals (adjusted relative risk, 1.47; 95% confidence interval, 1.15-1.87). Notably, 53% of Black patients delivered in nonteaching, Black-serving hospitals compared with just 19% of White patients. Among nonteaching hospitals, 47% of Black-White disparities in maternal in-hospital mortality were attributable to delivering at Black-serving hospitals. So there's no indication that the colour of the doctor makes any difference at all - whether the hospital is teaching or non teaching makes a BIG difference. So offering this as proof that black doctors give better care to black people is completely and utterly false. Once again - the left has to lie to make it's point.
  8. OH! Such wit!! Such a stunning Repartee!!! How DO you think up such brilliant responses?!?! You must be the brightest kid in preschool.
  9. And yet you can't come up with any, Would the book be empty pages too? Nope. First off - rooted in isn't the same as negotiating the collapse so right off the bat you should have realized you were wrong. "Can be traced" - and you proclaim that's what he negotiated. Tell me you know you're wrong without telling me Second.... Al JAZZERA?!?!? - yes, they're totally know for frequently correctly quoting and interpreting US Generals. LOLOLOL - That should have been your first red flag right there
  10. That's the kind of thing one tells themselves to justify voting for a gov't they know they shouldn't. You are well aware you've never voted for a prime minister unless you happen to live in their riding, and yet one will be selected. It's important to be honest with yourself. At the end of the day you WILL be voting for a party and a prime minister, so choose wisely. (unless you vote for an indy i guess). John a was a conservative - the Progressive conservatives were formed much much later. The CPC is closer in name to John a's party. Well that's a very .. simplistic shall we say?.... view of politics. The name means little. If you believe in certain policies or principles then you show up at the leadership conventions, you show up at the policy conventions, and you help make sure the party represents your views What does it matter what it's called. Sorry but you're well into the realm of 'excuses' here. You honestly do sound far more like a liberal supporter than you do a conservative whether that's your intent or not.
  11. herbie probably thinks the vaccine is solar powered
  12. Many law abiding people in america fear cholesterol. That doesn't mean that it's invading or intimidating anyone. Specifically which police force is doing that?
  13. We don't tho. Justin has refused to answer much of that and has already claimed he wasn't briefed when sources say he was. So hopefully we would get to the bottom of it. Well, i'm not going to call you a liar. But - this is the kind of thing closet liberal supporters always say. "I've been a conservative all my life but now that the leader is XXX i just can't and i'm forced to consider the liberals!!!" Usually followed by ' I'd vote cpc if Mike chong was leader". If you find PP too much to swallow but are thinking voting to keep justin in power is worth considering, there's a disconnect there which doesn't quite match up. Well justin and the libs are a massive joke, so either way he is
  14. That is a lie, and we both know it. you literally said "So I point out the OBVIOUS that much of the so-called right thinks everything they disagree ..." - The right. Not the extreme right. Sure kiddo. Yet the liberals and most newspapers swear we do. Disagreeing with a liberal is hate speech in the left's mind these days. Yeah - nobody actually believes in that. but they do believe that hard addictive drugs aren't safe and in the mind of the liberal community that seems to be the same thing I know. We want to lock up rapists and murderers. We're terrible people. I think you lost your train of thought at the end I know - you have to vilify all conservatives to try to justify your own authoritarian and socialist beliefs. It's just hilarious that you try to blame the Conservatives for what you yourself are doing
  15. I believe his lego village is currently entirely solar, so we just have to scale that up. Obviously. And a lot of people discount hydro because of the environmental damage the dams do. But even if you add it there's only so much of it. Sure - bc and quebec don't have a lot of oil fired electricity but a lot of the other provinces do. Even california, with strong natural winds and massive amounts of sunlight, has failed miserably to move to renewable only. They DID manage to generate 100 percent of their power by renewables.... once. One one day. for an hour. The rest of the time they don't and even worse - their peak usage time comes just after the sun sets and solar isn't available. We can still use solar and wind to help offset the costs of other power and to reduce our need for other power - but we're not getting away solar only any time soon. Especailly in the north. And if we did the environmentalists would probably say we're soaking up too much of the sun's energy and it's contributing to global cooling or some damn thing....
  16. You can't and it doesn't. Even attempts to move mostly to that kind of power such as in cali failed miserably and they're not close to fully converted. Storing the energy is the problem. Wind and sun are simply not available in predictable enough fashions to be reliable power on their own and we have no effective way of storing the large amounts of energy we'd need to in order to make that work. You are BADLY uneducated on the subject. No, not because of smaller plants but because the old designs needed massive cooling AND massive safety systems that were extremely costly. Those are no longer needed, so even a plant of the same size would be vastly less expensive. Going to modular systems doesn't really save cost as much as it allows you to scale so you don't need to build for too far in the future, AND it makes repair and replacement easy which is something that was severely limited in old reactors where ALL of the power production had to stop to do maintenance. Honestly i suspect they would. At least it would be going towards something that actually worked and there'd be an end in sight. Within x number of years we'd have enough reactors to get us started and we could move on from there. But - what you may not realize is that it would only take a few years of carbon tax and the gst we charge on it to make a very serious start on that. We've wasted all that money so far and achieved NOTHING other than to line the feds pockets. If you told people "We do this for 5 years and then we're done" and people would jump on it. The provinces that need it can still kick in money - they'll make it back selling the electricity and they'd pay for their power plants any way. No - that's the liberals - except they're also not willing to do anything about greenhouse gases even if someone else DOES pay - they just pocket the money and do nothing. If you were serious about the environment, if you cared at all about greenhouse gasses - if you wanted to do ANYTHING other than posture, you'd push like hell for nuclear power. So that tells me you aren't and you don't.
  17. And if they masturbate it'll be considered Progressive art What can i say. I'm the kind of subhuman who thinks a penis is a penis. I'm awash in toxic masculinity.
  18. You are a leftist and it was pointed out that you're making generalized accusations about the right making generalized accusations. So the point wasn't that you're a leftist - but rather that you're a hypocrite ROFLMAO - it did no such thing. THe opposite is true, all you proved is that those on the left accuse anyone who disagrees with being on the right We're gloating because you're so F**king stunned you don't realize you were being an !diot. And honestly it's more laughing at you than gloating
  19. I think you'd need some proof before you could make that claim .For a huge number of people family responsibility and sacrifice for the future are indeed core values. And yet you can offer no specfics or a logical argument as to why they're wrong. Hmmmm.
  20. It's still more expensive than coal BUT it's far far less so than it used to be. Modern nuclear reactors don't require anything remotely close to the same safety measures. They are designed so that if you don't take action to keep them going they go out - the reverse of old ones. So there's no chance of a runaway. And Thier modular nature makes repair and maintenance vastly easier. They also produce a very very small amount of radioactive material that you're stuck with, most of the waste can be reused. these ain't 3 mile island designs. Nope. Nothing else produces the necessary constant supply of clean energy as fast. You can't power a city with solar or even come close. Wind has it's own environmental issues. If people really cared about the environment they'd have been insisting that provinces who don't have Hydro be funded for nukes years ago.
  21. It's not complicated. They can compel people who SHOULD know or MIGHT know anything and then ask them questions, and it's illegal for them to lie. And those questions can be non classified such as 'when did justin know about this' and 'was he given a brief' or 'who in his office was'. Or even things like 'were there any recommendations offered to address this and without giving secrets or specifics where any followed at all". theres a lot that an inquiry will tell. Justin knows that. Which is why he and his supporters are working so hard to avoid one LOL Anything you want to tell the class?
  22. That is an EXTREMELY partisan position. It is far more likely that they are concerned that a serious threat to canada is going ignored and wants to force someone to do something. For you to suggest there is no other reason than to attack justin trudeau suggests strongly that you have partisan sentiments towards justin. Which is fine but it's clouding your vision if you can't see people would be concerned about Canada.
  23. There were no revelations of child molesting in 2019 Justin has been making false accusations about conservative leaders for years now. Just totally made up crap Sooooo by your own logic he had this coming. What accusation? Did you hear him make any accusation? I didn't hear him accuse justin of anything, did you? "What is the nature of your thoughts, gentlemen, when you say 'fuddle duddle'" to coin a phrase Abandoned by the libs long ago. And after years of putting up with that - abandoned by the CPC now. If people wanted to keep those rules then they should have punished the libs for ignoring them in the past. Too late to complain now.
  24. The idea of masculinity at all is largely frowned upon by today's left. Anything perceived of as actually masculine is considered "toxic". Only male behavior that is more feminine in nature is to be considered ok. And it leads to some weird dichotomies. Because 'gay' is seen as being more feminine, it's absolutely unacceptable for a straight man to expose himself to a woman but a gay man can bunny-hop naked down the streets of toronto in front of women and they'll clap and applaud
  25. LOL - true enough - if liberals had memories we'd never have had Trudeau v2
