  1. We have no control over the carbon tax either. And it goes up every year too. By more than 5 percent.
  2. So in other words you know there's tonnes of evidence you just choose to be dishonest. Sure kiddo - i mentioned a neutral third party so that was a lie on your part but whatever Are you attempting to claim there are ones who haven't been? That you 're unaware of ANY? Is that your claim?
  3. So just the ones you approve of then, not the others who note that they really can't, eh? Why is the left so prone to conspiracy theory. Everyone knew roe vs wade might be overturned and everyone knows gay marriage can't, but a very small group of snake oil peddlers who are in the minority tell you something scary and it's all you'll listen to. The first - maybe, but we'll never know. What we do know is trump did. The second part - utter bullshit. What should he have done that he didn't? it's in the graph Don't be silly. I've explained why looking at one month isn't relevant. If it went up tomorrow, would that change your thinking and you'd be saying "oh god he's terrible'? Of course not. Performance is not measured in a snapshot. AND you STILL fail to account for the interest. Look - i'll try again. Lets say everyone starts off with an egg costing 1 dollar. Now - for the next year country A has 2 percent inflation and the US has 6 percent. what does that egg cost at the end of the year. Well - it's 1.02 in country a, and 1.06 in the us. Now - inflation in country a goes to 4 percent and the us drops to three. What does the egg cost now? Remember - the inflation rate applies to LAST year's cost - not the original. So - for country a it's going to be 1.061 for that egg and in the us it's going to be 1.092. BUT BUT BUT - inflation is LOWER!!!! Sooo how can it be worse!!!!?!?!? The fact is the people in the us are still paying more than 'country a'. By a fair bit. And that's largely what happened, the us shot up to a very high rate early on and held it. Canada did too. Inflation is actually HIGHER for them despite the actual inflation rate at this moment being lower. So now any inflation is on TOP of that early inflation. You can't just look at today's rate and compare. THEN you have to account for the interest rate which isn't always taken into inflation. For example, people renewing their mortgage in the US will pay a higher rate than britian by a fair bit. BUT - that doesn't show up on inflation. But the interest rate is what they used to fight inflation. So - it represents an increase in the day to day living costs but doesn't appear when considering the inflatino rate, only the costs of homes do. Does that make more sense at all? Am i explaining it any better? in fairness it's practically a legal requirement for them to talk like that. And with good reason. Recessions can very easily become self fulfilling prophecies. Think about it - what would you do if you KNEW there was a bad recession coming? You'd probably start saving money. Spending less and getting ready for hard times. Especially if you had a small business And what does that do? Slows the economy. Your money isn't out there stimulating the economy, it's sitting there doing nothing. And so what happens when nobody's spending money and there's no economic activity? Recession So gov'ts and most economists are trained to under play the threat of a recession without out and out lying. If you don't - people panic and then you WILL have a bad one even if you woudln't have. But the writing is on the wall. Especially in canada we're probably going to see a moderate recession followed by a very long stretch of very repressed growth and stagnation.
  4. if you want to redefine it to cover your own bad behavior, sure. And yet they don't but the left likes to lie about it. My favorite is when they claim NOT taking excessive money away from the rich is 'spending money on them". No, those are build with tax dollars. Most of which comes from rich people. You know - the people lefties hate and think we should be eating What's even MORE amazing is how lefties think that if you wipe out the wealthy somehow that money will still be there Soooo - your theory is that anyone who wants the gov't doing LESS things must therefore logically want the gov't to do NO things. Yeah. Thinking isn't your forte is it. Conservatives want the gov't to focus on it's core responsibilites. That's not the same as 'nothing'. You're thinking of severe libertarians or possibly anarchists. This isn't going to be another case of me explaining what words mean to you for half a thread before you get it is it? So sure we want to see proper policing, appropriate military, strong trade and civic relations with other countries, proper stewardship etc etc. Poor girl. You really don't know what you're talking about do you.
  5. I know the evidence is there, i've seen it before but i want to make you go look it up for me because i'm that kind of scum! LOL - nice try kid. I see you sure backed down from putting money up if i found it pretty quick Imagine claiming nobody's been canceled by the left who the hell did you think you were kidding.
  6. This has already been responded to. You ready to put up some cash? Do one web search and you'll have all the examples you need without leaving the first page.
  7. It's actual free speech. No, it's pretty much code for "women think they need the gov't to solve their problems because it's too tough for them to". I think those women are wrong, but i get where they learn that they're too repressed and too victimized to stand on their own without gov't. It's a pretty constant message these days from those on the left.
  8. Well - that certainly was a compelling and well thought out response. Everyone involved will now take the next 18 hours to re evaluate their lives. Thank you for your guidance.
  9. translation - Waaaaaahhhhh if we continue to lie about him we might get sued!!!!! WAAAAAAAAAHHHHH! Please. If you think that's the same as a foreign gov't attempting to buy our officials you're on glue.
  10. You mean the "high fibre' blend? Why you're lucky you don't have to pay extra for that! Frosted. Frosted toast. And 'aged' creamer. The WeSaySo Party appreciates your feedback. Now shut up and eat your breakfast peon.
  11. Alright, so there's tonnes of examples but you're going to continue to lie about it. You KNOW you were wrong but are sticking with the old 'deflect deflect deflect'. And then blame others for deflecting. We both know i didn't. but i love that you've at least conceded you said what you said about conservatives and jews. That's a start. It tells me that you need to lie to yourself about what you say and others say to try to live with what a pathetic slimeball you are. You're a racist, you're sexist, you're a bigot, you're an anti Semite, you lie. I would imagine it takes quite a bit of self delusion just to get to sleep at nights.
  12. https://www.castanet.net/edition/news-story-419327-4-.htm#419327 This will be interesting. It's one thing for the commissioner to find they were within the law - but if a court does that ENDS any complaints the next time it's used which could be against first nations blockades or blm marches, etc. Will a judge be willing to say Justin got it wrong? Or will they leave the door open to abuses in the future?
  13. https://www.castanet.net/news/BC/419418/Terrorism-charges-added-in-Surrey-bus-attempted-murder-case Well - at least it's not yet another RANDOM attack. Knowing that crazy people are being backed up by the terrorists isn't doing much for my desire to take transit anytime soon tho.
  14. (well i mean he did forgive them for nailing him to a tree just for saying how great it would be to be nice to people for a change, soooooo....)
  15. The snake was the first politician. The devil was the first voter.
  16. why though? why would you encourage him like that?
  17. well they probably got it from the bible LOL Joking aside, it's true. Conservatives including federal ones were the first proponents of a carbon tax. The initial modelling looked very promsing. But - it soon became apparent with further study that energy use was no where near as 'elastic' as was first thought in the early models and the idea therefore wouldn't work. The libs/ndp picked it up as a great way to raise revenues and taxes without upsetting people and looking good on the environmental front, and the cpc meanwhile dropped it.
  18. well ... in fairness they haven't been voting as long as we have. Maybe they'll get better at it?
  19. Its' a weird thing about humans - if you take all of people's money and then give back just enough to survive. a shockingly large percent of them will say "thank god for those people or i wouldn't have the money to survive". They don't realize if the gov't wasn't takeing their money in the first place they'd have more than enough to survive. And we wonder why intelligent aliens don't want to talk to us.
  20. I normally don't do the 'cite' thing but you're a pretty honest debater so, sure. Here's an example. There's some others out there that go into more detail. There was something similar over SNC. https://archive.ph/u3RqJ The documents show the RCMP believed there were “reasonable grounds” to think fraud may have been committed, but the force decided it would not be in the public interest to lay charges because of a lack of clarity in federal rules that apply to accepting gifts. Because Mr. Trudeau is the head of government, the RCMP said, “it cannot be definitely determined whether or not Mr. Trudeau can simply provide consent to himself.” Lawyers? Or just ones you approve of that you enjoy the scare mongering from. Because the legal community is not saying that's likely. The papers love the headlines but no. Real lawyers are't buying it - and if you read the decisions you will see why. And on top of that there's practical reasons. The constituton recogizes that if something is entrenched it should be considered under the special section as constitutionally protected as well. How are you going to unwind all the lives and families built around it? Here's a blurb on the practical elements: https://getoutspoken.com/news/why-same-sex-marriage-will-never-be-overturned-despite-media-fear-mongering It's a complete lie scare tactic - just like how conservatives in canada will ban abortions the moment the CPC takes power. Despite the fact they didn't the 10 years they were in power. Well you can't have it both ways. If it's far greater than 50 percent then it's enough for a constitutioal amendment. The constitution can be amended by a vote of 3/4 in the houses - and then ratified by 3/4 of the states i believe. Are you saying less than that would like to see no-limit abortions? I don't think it works that way for the constitution. Either it's a protected right or it isn't basically under the constitution. I suppose it MIGHT be possible to amend the constitution to make it a federal matter and then the feds could impose that on everyone - but i'm sure you can see the danger there. The next gov't could wipe it out entirely. Sorry - but here's the facts. Trump did it. You can play what if to your hearts content - but trump did it and it worked. Obama is a recent president and the numbers are there. Which is literally not relevant. It's like saying Oh - he was stabbing that girl for 10 minutes but technially he's not RIGHT NOW so he's the same as the rest of us. And again - you're ignoring the interest rates. He's exchanged high inflation for high interest. So when you look at what happened you see he did much worse. We'll see - but a lot of people are predicting the recession will be longer and deeper than previously suggested. THey're saying the same of canada. It went from 'slow down but no recession" to "MAAAAYBE a short and very mild technical recession" To "there's going to be a recession" to 'it's probably deeper than we thought". Well not canada. Europe. But - it also has a higher interest rate which is what fights inflation - but that brings on recessions. No - it's much worse. I get you don't understand this - i get that you're looking at ONE MONTH and thinking you have a clear picture. But it's bad. And businesses in the states know it's bad. Of course time will tell but i bet we're having a conversation in a year and i'm doing a whole lot of 'i told you so' and you're doing a whole lot of trying to play it off that it isn't that bad
  21. LOL - well fair enough We'll leave it there then shall we?
  22. this was in all the papers. Sorry but you're just wrong. The cops were clear - he broke the law but we think he can give himself permisson to break the law as pm. I'm not sure he realized he wasn't supposed to break the law in teh first place. I think he thought mortal laws didn't apply to him Who knows. If they haven't charged him with anything else or convicted him by then he's basically in the clear anyway. yeah but they're wrong. Sorry. It's just fear mongering. I mean they're right that if it wasn't found to be constitutionally protected it would be a state issue, but it has been found on pretty solid ground to be constitutional. well what is the percent who want it then? You seem to be suggesting that at least 50 percent want constitutional protection of abortion, which means no restrictions on it. Is that true? They are both works of fiction and they are both dogmatically and blindly followed by their adherents. Another president didn't. Trump did. Period. Trudeau didn't even tho he was given teh opportunity. So no - not all leaders. And the dems are fond of claiming his record was bad but in reality it was pretty good, and biden's was no better, Biden just followed and continued trumps plan to the letter while claiming there was no plan. Nope - better than most if you look at the numbers. Especially coming out of an economic slow period. CERTAINLY much better than obama and i mean after the recession. That's literally one month. Yeah -they are. their inflation is now just turning into recession. That's why their interest rates are higher than britian for example. they've had to hurt their people and economy with higher interest rates to get the inflation under control, and it will work - at the cost of a recession. But their inflation over time is worse. Biden SERIOUSLY crapped the bed on the economy. You cannot dump unearned dollars into the economy and not have runaway inflation. Also - america produces it's own oil, food etc, Many of those countries with 'higher' inflation are directly impacted by the war. The us is not. There was NO reason for the us or Canada to experience it that high. We should have been more like japan.
