  1. Canada just started the largest tax increase you’ve never heard of - The Hub

    One such move sparked considerable debate: increasing capital gains taxes.

    This is an important debate to be had, to be sure, but there are other tax changes coming that have been completely lost in the shuffle.

    A significant increase in taxes on new business investment throughout the Canadian economy is most concerning of all.

    It is likely the largest tax increase you’ve never heard of. And it will lower investment and productivity at a time when we need more of both.

     

    For those who missed it, Canada will now be penalizing companies that invest In any new equipment, any capital investment, any new facilities or factories.

    At a time when investment capital is actually leaving Canada for the first time in history, the liberals have now don even further to discourage companies from spending money here.

    This is how the left wing works. The only thing they know how to do, and it drives business away.

    This just means any Israeli who is a member of the IDF or security forces, whether on active duty or not, is a viable military target,

    In a time of war an active duty solider is a military target. An active duty solider is not a 9 to 5 job, you don't get to go home and say 'hi honey, i'm not a solider for the next 12 hours!"  "oh great, how was the war today?"  

    Again  this is why nobody else puts their active duty soldiers anywhere near the front lines mixed in with civvies.

    No it's not you retarded ape, not unless they;'re actively engaged in combat at the time.


     

    LOL sure it is and your own quote proves it :)  And i can always tell you know you lost when you come up with the grade school insults. :) 

    Lets take a look. :) 

    "In order for the attack to be considered lawful, it must be shown that the object was in fact being used for military purposes at the time of the attack"

    So  that doesn't say it has to be used for combat purposes. Just 'Military purposes'. 
    Storing weapons is a miliary purpose.  Housing combatants is a military purpose. Using it to hide from IDF forces is a military purpose :) 

    So if a terrorist is inside the home, that home is being used for military purposes. And if he's got his weapons there then even more so. The storage of personel and weapons is military. 

     

     

    You lilteraly  just proved yourself wrong ;)  well done :)

    Only 1 in 3 US adults think Trump acted illegally in New York hush money case, AP-NORC poll shows

    The liberal AP says 2/3 people think he did nothing illegal. Sounds like only hard core D's think Trump is guilty.

     

    The other challenge they've got is that the democrats are frequently busted and fined for campaign contribution violations. For example Hillary and the democrats were both fined for not disclosing the steel dossier payments. So they literally spent money to influence an election directly, didn't report it, got caught and had to pay a big fine, and no criminal charges but now we are supposed to believe that trump spending money in a similar fashion is a crime worthy of jail.

    The democrats would have an easier time selling the idea that all of these legal mistakes are terrible if they hadn't been committing them themselves the whole time

    as well as addressing someone who's not a liberal but will defend Trudeau from stupid claims, but never votes for either of those right wing parties.

    You defend trudeau because he's on the left and you support the left over the right.  You have never once made an intelligent defense of him that i've seen, you just rabidly blather at anyone who points out anything negative that he does 

     

    And this is the problem. You're constantly dishonest in your posts. We see that for many of the left-wing posters. It was very hard to believe you when you say something like the current liberals are a right-wing party. The only way that's true is if you define anybody right of Castro as being right wing.

    You're in denial and completely immune to absorbing information that doesn't conform to your preexisting beliefs and calling me a Hamas supporter doesn't change that, crybaby.

    So how would you execute the elimination of the Hamas?

    Obviously he would give them several billion dollars, as many guns and rockets as they could carry, maybe a few tanks, their own state without having to acknowledge Israel's right to exist, a couple of dozen captured Israeli women for fun and a stern letter saying that he hopes they've learned their lesson and will be better in the future.

    And if that doesn't work, immediate cessation of chocolate rations.

     LOL - look at the 'compassionate' lefties at work :)  well i guess any pretense that you care about human life went out the window, but then given your support in other threads for terrorists and rapists i guess that's to be expected.

    I'll say it again for the stupid guy: they're not just targeting buildings Hamas is using for combat operations.

     

    I'll say it again for the apperently even stupider guy - if it's got military personnel or military equipment in it - then it's a viable target even if theyr'e not shooting at that moment.

    Pretty simple. Again - this is why every other military in the world doesn't keep its weapons and soldiers mixed in with the civvies. They have armouries and magazines and billets. 

    If a hamas combatant hides in a house - that house is a perfectly valid target.  Don't hide  in civillian houses. 

    Not to mention when the israelis check up later on these buildings they've struck they find crap tonnes of weapons under beds and such. 

    100 percent legit targets.  If hamas doesn't want other people blown up with them - then they shouldn't be trying to hide behind the people but that doesn't make hamas less of a military target.

    How is this case any different than Hillary Clinton paying a lawyer to have the dossier fabricated and delivered to the FBI knowing everything in it was a lie?

    Well amusingly the democratic party and Hillary's campaign were both find heavily for election accounting issues just as trump is being accused of as a result of trying to hide that money. Strangely, nobody brought for middle charges against her. This is why people look at what's happening to trump as being hypocrisy

    To Israel, a civilian apartment block that has a single Hamas member living in it is a military target, the term is utterly meaningless.

    Sorry kiddo but that term is absolutely not meaningless.  

    If you're a terrorist and you just shot rockets off the top of the roof of that apartment block which is the case with most of these examples then you ARE a legit target. If you were just out shooting at israeli forces and run back and dive into an apartment building and they track you and fire on you - entirely legit. 

    It is 100 percent legit to kill the bad guys. IF THE BAD GUYS CHOOSE TO GET CIVVIES BETWEEN THEM SO THEY CAN GET THEM KILLED FOR VIRTUE POINTS - Then that is on the bad guys but it is STILL a legit target. 

    That's why every other country doesn't let their soldiers hide out in the civillian population in times of war.  pretty simple. 

    Israel targets military targets. If Hamas places those military targets amongst the civilian population the law recognizes that it's okay to Unintentionally kill those civilians in order to strike the military target. Your defense of the use of human shields is disgusting. It is a vile thing for them to do and it's not Israel's fault.

    How many threads do you think can you derail today?  More, or less, than yesterday?  Go away.  

    Ahh - so you can't refute the points so you freak out as usual .  Or is it you just feel that disagreeing with your nonsense is 'derailing' things. 

    It's a pretty weird claim that someone is derailing a thread by commenting on the very points the thread is about and in fact points you yourself made.  "HE COMMENTED ON EXACTLY WHAT I SAID SO HE"S DERAILING THE THREAD".  Weird. 

    So that'd be you derailing the thread :)  

    If you can't defend your argument maybe don't post it on a forum.  Don't while about people 'derailing' your faulty talking points. 

    But hey - you could always pretend you didn't say it i guess :)  

  12. Immigration to Canada surges in April, worsening outlook for housing affordability - The Globe and Mail (archive.ph)

    National Bank economist Stéfane Marion warns housing affordability woes are set to worsen amid another surge in immigration levels,
    “The demographic shock is getting worse in Canada. The working-age population (aged 15 and over) rose by over 100,000 in April, bringing the total to over 410,000 after 4 months in 2024.
     
    As today’s Hot Chart shows, this represents a sharp acceleration (+47%) on the 278,000 increase recorded in the first four months of 2023. In Greater Toronto, where population growth reached a record 107,000 at the start of the year, the acceleration is 66% compared to the growth seen in 2023. Greater Montreal and Greater Vancouver have not been left behind since the start of 2024, with growth more than double that seen in 2023.
     
    Conclusion: with Ottawa having announced its intention to limit immigration from 2025, it would seem that many people have decided to come to Canada earlier. Housing affordability problems could worsen over the next few quarters, as we head for another record year of population growth.”

     

    Jebus Kerist!! 

    How does this guy not get it? If he keeps letting in THAT many people when housing starts are actually DOWN then there's going to be a disaser!!!

    Even though there are clearly religious differences, I don't recall a single conversation there being about religion as causal. Maybe just me, but I never saw it and it was never the grievance I heard. This is a struggle over land by two separate ethnic groups, each with long standing and divergent claims to the area. 

    I'll offer another observation too FWIW. Most of the Palestinian players there that I talked to know what happened to them, their father and their grandfather. That's important because  discussions about the Balfour Declaration usually don't resonate with them. They can see the farm on the hill where they grew up, they can point it out, tell you how and when it was lost, they have the keys to the front door in their pocket.... but somebody else lives there now. 

    Hamas doesn't represent those folks, they don't even think about them, they will never negotiate peace or those legitimate grievances in good faith... and when I say never, I mean NEVER. 

    Want to pursue peace? Address legitimate concerns? Achieve equitable outcomes? Get rid of Hamas and find Israel a peace partner they can work with.... or don't. That simple I think.

    As Yoda would say, "do or do not."

     

     

    IT's the same for a lot of people. My family on one side fled the ukraine shortly after the revolution - the russians killed most of the family (one uncle came home to find all his family's heads on the kitchen table), they were treated very badly and they fled with nothing but the clothes they were wearing. 

    Got to canada and while they were sad (my great aunt cried a lot) they made a life for themselves and raised their kids and none of us feel particularly interested in hating russia or going back and demanding our lands. 

    Sometimes you have to realize the world has changed and make a life for yourself.

    Fu ck you too for saying I support the rapists and murderers of Jews.

     

    Dude  when EVERYONE is pointing out thats' what you're doing  it's time to take a step back and look at it. 

    You ARE supporting and excusing rapists and murderers of jews.  If that makes you uncomfortable then you need to review.  Simply falsly claiming they were iranians does not change anything.

    I can, like I said, draw comparisons between Trump and Poilievre.  They're both deceitful and manipulative populists, focusing on simple-minded slogans and language to mobilize their base.  They're both prone to exaggerated (sometimes wild) rhetoric and they both enable and encourage conspiracy theories.  They both belittle and erode trust in experts, the government and media, and they're both highly divisive and polarizing. 

    What a load of crap. 

    What was polievre deceitful about? He's been pretty up front about EVERYTHING so far.  Utter fail there

    Polievre isn't a populist. I doubt you even know what the word means, and are just shoe horning your own definition in because you think it makes him sound bad. Trudeau is far more of a populist than PP is. 

    And no - polievre isn't prone to 'wild' rhetoric.  All humans occasionally use rhetoric but poievre doesn't tend to. He says things like 'canada is broken'. That is objectively true.  Rhetoric would be things like 'if you don't take the shot you're a bigot'. 

    And polievre is the opposite of divisive.  Liberals, ndp and conservatives are flocking to his banner. 

    Again - truduea has vastly more in common on the division front, he's the most divisive prime minister we've ever had. Polievre is joining people together, that's why he's doing so well and why his popularity has been on a nearly year long climb upward. 

     

    As  a left winger - i can understand why you'd want to spout the usual left wing talking points but they're objectively wrong.

    • "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."

    At best, the current members LPOC can say that they had their thumbs up their asses for the past 9 years. The stench is all over them like ugly on an ape.

    The NDP are worse. They're supposed to be the opposition, but they sided with "Trudeau and their pensions". The NDP is done now. Anyone dumb enough to support them needs to be ridiculed off the face of the earth.

    The only way for the LPOC to regain credibility is under the leadership of someone like JWR, who utterly rejected Trudeau's BS and stood up to him, even at great cost to herself. 

    It's not the libbie way though. People like JWR don't resonate with gutless liberal pukes. 

    All very true. I would agree that the NDP is the big disappointment, everyone expects a liberal to be corrupt and pass bad policy. That's what they always do. But the NDP has always been a little bit above that heck, they don't even want to win elections they historically prefer to be respected and to be the voice of conscience for parliament.

    Now they're just liberal lap dogs and Justin's house boys making cheesy statements about how they'll fight anyone anywhere anytime or anything while wearing their Rolexes and waiting for their gold star permanent pensions to kick in.

    The moral compass of parliament broke. Now it's worth nothing

    That's actually a good descriptor for Trudeau. It's useless, it's nasty, and it's associated with a-holes and crap. 

    LOL - well the libs will say that's  the only taint tainting the party - but it t'aint. 

    And that will become PP's new challenge, making sure the entire liberal party wears justin's smell.  And the ndp, although if the recent polls are accurate it looks like that may have stuck already.

    My theory is that the conviction is baked into the polls. The polls keep going up despite the trial. If he's guilty, there will be a slight backslide. If he isn't convicted, he will gain in the polls big time.

    100 percent :) 

    After 7 years of claim after claim most of which turn out to be false people are so accustom to trump facing 'charges'  and the like that it's completely edited out of people's opinons. 

    After that many years of the dems saying "HE'S A CRIMINAL HE"S A CRIMINAL" every hour on the hour every day for the last 2,920 days   at this point people are just saying  "yeah hes' a terrible person Yawn -  so you say he'll lower inflation?!?

    In what way? Go ahead and try to list the similarities. 

    This is why the poilievre equals trump narrative that the left has been trying to sell falls on its face. The fact is there's almost no comparisons to be drawn between them. About the only thing you could say is that they both do rallies a lot but then so does trudeau and most politicians. Other than that their style is very different.
