So you say you didn't know that our borders are defended with guns now? Or are you just lying And you have no actual rational response, just a bunch of whinging about how terrible we are for telling you the truth. As to your kind - they tend to die out on their own when food gets hard to come by and you have no place to live. We're already seeing that. PPs popularity is on the steady rise, justin's is falling. Kids are turning from the ndp to go with the CPC. When crap get real, liberals get tossed.

But it can't happen. Texans and everyone else knows that the lefts goal is to ban all guns. So - their position to prevent that has to be to allow all guns. There's no room for rational discussion when one side has no intent of being rational. Look at this thread - for CORRECTLY pointing out that the gun is not the issue here and the guy could have used any type of gun or even any other tool i was told that i must love to see people murdered and care more about guns than people. In the face of that kind of lunacy, the gun owners of america are not going to be interested in giving up a millimeter. So the discussion will never happen. Meantime - this really is an issue of the bad guy.

Especially the most sensible. THere has to be balance. Sensible people recognize that but the trans activists refuse demanding that everything be 100 percent as they want it. Then they're shocked with the backlash.

Did some one give him the gun? Or did he go get one. When bad guys want to do a bad thing, they'll find the things to do bad things with. You ONLY stop that by focusing on the bad guy Ahhhh yes - the typical leftie lie whenever they lose this kind of discussion. "If you don't agree with me, you must be a heartless murderer who loves to see people die". how disgusting. This is why there will never be a rational discussion on how to deal with mass murders. People like you simply prevent it. Listen bud - if YOU really cared about the victims you'd be HONEST about how to address the issues. Whether the killer used a gun or a knife or a hammer or a chainsaw or a firebomb or ran over them with a truck - it doesn't matter. The common denominator is always the bad guy. So before ANYTHING else - if you REALLY care you'll be looking at how to better stop bad guys before they go lethal. But you DEMAAAAAND it's all about guns when obviously it is not. And then claim that OTHERS want it to be all about guns because they're heartless. What a joke.
-
IF you're trying to claim that some how the gun is the problem and not the violent illegal who had previously been deported then i'm afraid it's you who're being uncaring. The bad guy could have used any kind of gun, or most knives, axes, shovels to do the killing. but none of those things would have killed anyone without the bad guy. The problem here is the bad guy. Not the particular tool he chose this time.

To a point. You get a few seconds where everyone's packed and then people start to mill around. And if you're on full auto you just miss 4 times instead of one each time you miss. And it's very very difficult to control the gun to focus on the clumps of people I mean the proofs right there - 60 people for 1000 rounds. There's an old saying - you can't miss fast enough to win a gun fight.
-
So you have next to no experience. Thought so. And? You think you couldn't fire more and hit more without one? Sorry - i can fire an AR with aimed rounds almost as fast and i guarantee i'd hit a hell of a lot more targets lethally. Most of the injured were hit with shrapnel or the like, not life threatening at all. 60 hits for 1000 rounds? He was just wasting ammo. People think full auto somehow makes a gun 10 times more deadly. It doesn't. Which is why actual assault guns nowadays mostly use 3 round bursts. Full auto isn't what you think it is. He had 10 ar's with him as i recall (clearly worried about jams with the bumps stocks). So - lest say he had even 4 pistols with him. Slap a couple of 30 round mags in a glock and walk up to the crowd and start popping people in the head from the back. With a crowd you could easily use two and get consistant hits. You've fired a 9mm - very easy to control with rapid fire with a little practice. So - firing at head level on the ground with the target you're going to hit someone in a crowd that big even if you miss. In about 10 seconds you could dump both mags - that's likely 60 life threatening hits. Pull the next two and you've got the crowd running away in terror and easy pickings. The death toll would be massive. Instead he mag dumped from several hundred yards away and the vast majority of his shots missed. We're LUCKY that was the gun he was using. Honestly - at that range with a good hunting rife with detach mags if i had 10 minutes to shoot at a crowd like he did the death toll would be well into the hundreds. Bump stocks do NOT make guns more leathal.

Yeah -sorry that wiki entry is both wrong and pretty bloody bias if you read it. It's got some other glaring inaccuracies and 'creative interpretations' as well. I guess that's why you didn't link to it. In fact it wasn't till much later that it became actually compulsory. 1920 - Duncan Campbell Scott, Deputy Superintendent of Indian Affairs, makes residential school attendance compulsory for children between the ages of 7 and 15. https://nctr.ca/exhibits/residential-school-timeline/ That's when it became mandatory. Before then it was optional. And originally it was not even particularly desired. Macdonald wasn't keen on spending the money. Which is why he got the church to do it. I get you want everything to be 'whitey's' fault - but no.

One leads to the other. You drive people out of the market, then price goes up. As landlords back out of the market (especially the small onezies and twozies owners) the demand goes up and the remaining ones can collect more. And they push that because they know they may not be able to raise rents again. The Gov't could pass a law any time they want limiting that because it's flu season or whatever. So - while landlords can't raise rents on people living in tehir units, they CAN jack the rent horribly when that person moves out for the next person. And this is what happens - and people either get caught paying insane rents the next place they live or they're forced to never ever move - which for most isn't practical over time. Not to mention renovictions and such where those who stay too long get punted anyway.

That is just so untrue it isnt' funny. You clearly know nothing of guns in the slightest. There is a very good reason why the vast majority of gun killings involve handguns. Bump stocks are for fun at the range, they in no way shape or form make a gun more lethal. I guarantee i could do more damage with a semi auto rifle after the first few seconds than you could with a "full auto" bump stock even if it didn't jam, which it probably would. you just sound uneducated when you talk like that. Have you even fired an ar before? or a pistol? Or used a bump stock? Or killed ANYTHING with a gun? I have, and you simply don't know what you're talking about.

First nations and churches, respectively. The schools were at the first nations request. And they were completely optional till the 20's. A little fact that often gets glossed over. John A was required by the king to honor an agreement where the first nations demanded access to education, and the churches had been providing education already for ages, so he just said 'if a first nations person wants education and they show up at your school we'll pay for it. ". But nobody made them go. And it wasn't john a's idea to spend money on educating native people. So what? Its' every bit as much of a native thing since before canada was born. And not all europeans are religious. It's a ridiculous argument. It doesn't represent all white people or even all europeans in the slgihtest. As i noted - what about jews? Oh you ADMIT it now! Wow just a post or two ago you were claiming that ALL of Canada and everything wrong about it were the exclusive domain of WHITE people I take it you realized how !diotic your position was. Canada is not just 'white' people and never was.

Sure - nobody's building rentals at all unless it's forced on them or heavily subsidized one way or another. There's no money in rentals. So what happens is they've made laws (in various provinces) making it neceessary for stratas to allow rentals. Now individual investors can buy a condo and rent it. SO you don't need massive constructions. But - we're back to the same problem, there's not enough. AND we're treating landlords the way disney treats step moms. THey are all evil and deserve to be hurt. SO during the pandemic several provinces passed laws that you weren't allowed to raise rent or kick people out even if they didnt' pay. SOMEHOW - landlords were made to pay for the social safety net the gov't wanted. No compensation, no warning There's always been a law in bc saying landlords cant' raise rents more than inflation. So while inflation is low landlords have to live with that. When inflation went up they said "Nope - we're going to keep it BELOW inflation now, wouldn't be fair". So now landlords once again have to pay for the fact there's inflation. Why on earth would anyone want to be a landlord?

AND WE"RE ON! First out of the gate is the UCP. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alberta/article-alberta-election-kicks-off-with-ucp-pledging-1-billion-tax-cut/ Alberta election kicks off with UCP pledging $1-billion tax cut So - Smith is out making headlines and gaining momentum right off the bat. That's a massive announcement that's sure to please the base, and it will ease any concerns over more 'social' announcements later. Notley's reply is an ultra lame "but is that REALLY a good idea?" which is useless. Booooooo. Notley really needed to be 'that person' and get some momentum. If smith gains momentum AND IMPORTANTLY if she can hold it by feeding out exciting announcements like that for the whole campaign (which is only 4 weeks) she's got this. You can sometimes get away with letting the other guy go first and making a big splash second - but you've only got 4 lousy weeks here. That's two weeks less than a more common campaign. That strategy does not work well in short campaigns. So out of the gate advantage Smith. We'll see where we go from here but so far very unimpressed with Notley who really did have a shot here if she played it right.

Oh you don't point it out - those are just your go - to lies when you're losing a discussion badly or you've been caught in a lie. If someone accurately points out you're a lying scumbag or any of the tricks you like to pull you scream "PROJECTION!!!" If someone points out you're lying about them or making crap up you cry "DEFLECTION!!" if someone disproves your point and demonstrates you're wrong it's "GET BACK HERE WITH THOSE GOALPOSTS". And if you're REALLY emotionally damaged... the memes come out That's when we all know you've really been crushed. Honestly we could probably make a pretty entertaining drinking game just based on your 'tells'. You never fail to amuse!

Sure. But it's not the cost to build that's holding us back really. Don't get me wrong, it would help. But That's not the big barrier. In fact - the instability in the market caused by his monetary policy is even worse. If inflation had levalized and interest rates were stable it would be different, but considering it takes about 3 years to build places these days nobody's interested in anything but the sweetest projects if there's volitility - if interest rates go up you can't sell the home for as much and you could get stuck .

https://nationalpost.com/opinion/jamie-sarkonak-the-long-history-of-donors-trying-to-use-the-trudeau-foundation-for-influence This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Fournier testified Friday to the ethics committee that the $200,000 donation to the foundation was on paper from Quebec but was actually from China. She explained that there were strange receipts and emails between foundation staff and a Chinese association overseas, all of which happened before her tenure as president (she didn’t step into the role until 2018). This donation, of which $140,000 was received, was a subset of a larger $1 million donated to causes that were connected to former prime minister Pierre Trudeau (most of which went to the University of Montreal). Back then, the donation was subject to scrutiny by the Conservative party, which called for an investigation by the ethics commissioner in response. The ethics commissioner said “no” to investigating this specific donation, but it would examine cash-for-access events generally. And we can begin to see how this works. This isn't radically different from the sponsorship scheme. Instead of cash under the table it's funneled through other sources. This is what justin has been doing while in power. He's be socking away money into the party and to his own personal pockets. This is what liberals voted for.

it doesn't matter. They're renting them out. Which means the number of homes available to live in hasn't changed. And the prices are driven by the market which is driven by availability. So foreign ownership makes NO difference at all. Air bnb makes a far bigger difference to be honest. Again - this is very very simple math. If there's more homes than there are people then prices go down for purhcase and/or rental. and it doesn't matter who owns them. If there are not enough homes prices shoot through the roof and it doesn't matter who owns them. If we had enough homes the foriegners could buy whatever they liked, woudn't matter. AND - they wouldn't be INTERESTED in doing so because the prices woudn't be skyrocketing. Build enough homes and this all goes away. Unfortunately the way things are designed currently that's not really possible.

Bruce Jenner's Chromosome Count has not changed
CdnFox replied to reason10's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Well that's because you're not very bright. But I do try to account for that and make it as easy for you as possible Also - canadaian. So 'blue' is our right wing colour. What i said was true. Science is a method. You don't do something because 'science'. Your motive will be something else. Like perhaps "I felt that people didn't know the science behind this and i wanted to spread it". As noted, that's stupid. Be smarter. Yeah - those are the facts, but not why you felt the need to share the facts. Do you get what 'motive' means? Do you need me to post the dictionary definition for you? You're being a complete asshat. Try and be smarter than the florida 2nd grader you mentioned before. The 'Motive" would be "why did you feel the need to raise this subject for discussion' - "Science" is not an answer to that.
