  1. Probably a little early to call it JUST yet, but that does appear to be the case at this point. I'ts not that he's polling well into majority territory, it's that he's been so consistently there for so many months. Which means a) people have become used to the idea. They're not afraid of it, they're not worried about the "evil conservatives", by this point it's now become an expectation. And b) enough people have decided they like him that even if there's a faux pas that causes him to slip at all, it will be very easy to ignite that passion back during a campaign. So there's some bedrock under those numbers. While they might fluctuate a little he's on solid ground. Having said that campaigns matter. A more interesting question at this point is would it be possible to see a liberal collapse? It is possible for parties to utterly collapse under the right circumstances and we've certainly seen that before, federally with the PC party for example and lots of provincial examples. It's way too soon to tell where the 'floor' might be for the libs. If they lose the atlantics and a good hunk of quebec to the bloc, and get pounded in ontario which is becoming more and more likely, then they could very well wind up suffering a collapse if PP runs a fantastic campaign and looks like he'll run away with it. It'll be something to keep an eye on.
  2. That got oddly specific there at the end but yes. Also it must be wrong because people like Gaetan can't get girlfriends in the first place. At any rate, sure. I'm pretty well read and I didn't even know about some of those things. I doubt 1 in 10 canadians could tell you 3 things the military does other than 'prepare in case we need to kill someone'. And the gov't isn't going to be promoting it any time soon. IF people thought the military was important.. they might want to see it funded. Then we'd have to pull money from something REALLY important like lesbian dance theory research. You're right - people look down on us because of our support of the gaza war - it's WAY too small and we should be sending a LOT more money and locking up Hamas supporters here at home. How can we expect people to think well of us if we don't help wipe out evil like that in the world?
  3. In the mind of the dems and their supporters..... that IS bashing them!!!
  4. It took you 20 hours to come up with THAT as a response?!?!? Well i don't know what you were referring to precisely but it would seem that YOU'RE still simple and stupid at any rate
  5. Not when he does it. And most of the work is done before hand by other people of course. Prime ministers generally dont' sit down and hammer out the issues of the day - professional diplomats do that before the meetings. The 'fun' part is attending the meetings and flying the flag and announcing the agreements - then the work part is you come home and make all that stuff you announced happen. And he didn't. He goes to the functions, has a grand old time in 5000 dollar a night rooms, parties it up and then comes back and does nothing. He'll go to paris, sign the accord, then completely forget about it. Harper used to go on trade trips and then he'd come back.... WITH TRADE AGREEMENTS!!! Lots of them. Justin goes and comes back with nothing - and takes two planes to do so apparently.
  6. Or even charged - all the charges are for something else.
  7. How would you know? It would still be above yours at that point. LOL! I guess that's your way of saying you cant' refute anything i said so you're going to pout. well have fun with that, and tell your mommie i said you could have a cookie and a nap if it helps.
  8. well here's the thing. He's going to be eligible, he's going to run. He has about a 50 50 chance of winning. So when he wins what's he going to do in revenge. You can bet he'll be spending a good hunk of every day thinking about how he can fire and appoint so republican loyalists are in key places in police and judicial and other areas to get even for this kind of crap, and if the dems complain at that point nobody's going to care. THey'll blow it off as 'busniess as usual these days'.
  9. Nobody anywhere thinks that this is a case of following the law. Even those who are paid to say they do probably don't. If it was then all states would just do it. So no. That's not true. This is not 'obeying the law', if she wanted to obey the law she's have kicked it up to a court that has jurisdiction to decide if his actions meet this bar. Constitutional issues are the federal court's purview. And in fact others have done just that. This is a person abusing their position to play political games with the law and weaponizing the courts. That will come back to bite the dems hard. it is a very bad thing to do and it will harm democracy for a long time to come.
  10. ROFLMAO - so you say something stupid, it's my fault, and now you want to try to cancel me Well typical left wing loser Don't go away mad - just go away.
  11. If you work without getting paid, why would i give you anything in return? Go ahead and work - you don't get to have anything.
  12. Really this is what the liberal party needs. To be utterly destroyed. It's been around too long and any political party that hangs around TOO long becomes completely corrupt. That's what conservative voters did to the PC party when it was getting stale, and say what you like about harper's CPC, they are NOT corrupt.That got eliminated. We see the same thing in many provincial parties as well. They get stale, they get wiped out, they get reformed into something new, they're good to go again. The libs are corrupt to the bone. They need to go. The easterners who keep them going have to wake up and decide it's NOT a good thing to have corruption in the gov't. Right now they're shockingly tolerant of it. Doug ford was never popular till they thought he was pulling scams
  13. First - you're assuming facts not in evidence. There's little doubt that trump wanted their to be demonstrations and a big fuss and that he used inflammitory rhetoric. But i have yet to see a single thing that actually shows that he gave instruction or even knew that an attempt to force entry and physically confront mike pence was on the table. So while i'm quite comfortable saying he initiated the protest - the events that followed may have been as much of a surprise to him as to everyone else. Second, there's nothing petty about what some previous candidates have done. Lawsuits for example that stretched on for ages. Refusals to admit defeat for quite some time. Hell - hillary clinton was still wandering around telling her supporters that trump was an illegitimate president. And frankly - i don't see much difference between trump contesting the win and the democrats use of fake dossiers and frivolous legal attacks to destroy a political opponent. All you are doing is making a case that this kind of thing is bad. Well - take the W, i'm 100 percent convinced. But you are not making any case that one is somehow worse than the others and should be treated differently. Sanders' rhetoric gets lawmakers killed - outright. Not a big deal, sanders is not to blame in your books. I happen to agree, the guy who did the shooting is to blame for those deaths - but that ALSO means that unless you can prove trump ACTUALLY instructed them to hunt down pence that even if his words were the catalyst (as bernies were) he is not to blame. They didn't choose what they did. They didn't make a choice. None of this is their responsibility. That's your argument. These were innocent people who were FORCED to do what they did by trump. I think we're done here. If you can't think rationally on the topic and have let your hatred of trump blind you THAT much that you honestly beleive the rioters made no choices and were driven to it by trump alone, then we're just not on the same level. I am very disappointed tho.
  14. Found this amusing - apparently others think this way too It's not quite perfectly accurate but it does hammer the point home. The hypocrisy is pretty real. People dismissed the major riots driven by the democrats and blm, but one riot from trumps supporters and he's a traitor that should burn. IT's not ok.
  15. You're no different than biden. Half asleep and concussed I shame those who make bad cases for their arguments. Make better cases. And go back and look at some of your own 'shaming' efforts. People in class outhouses..... Nope. And which politician has done that? Nobody you say? Hmm. Ya got a little confused there i think, Ummmm no he told people to peacefully protest - did trump tell HIS people to violently protest? No? did he ask them to PEACEFULLY protest? Yup. Do you think these answers are making you look smarter? Then why didn't we arrest bernie? Except that's not what he said and you know it. So - now you're at the point where you have to lie to make your point? He was very clear that he was talking peaceful protest. BTW - jagmeet constantly says he's going to fight like hell for people - should we be locking him up? Doesn't matter does it. State of mind doesn't require absolute proof. THey believed the evidence was significant and convincing There was no evidence of police wrongding in most of the riots that BLM was behind. In a beutiful case of irony - there's no evidence of that. There's no evidence that he planned the event or even knew anyone was going to actually try to get inside and find pence. What were you just saying about forming an opinion with no evidence? You dont seem to believe that. It isn't. Not at all. Trump called for protests and demonstrations. Bernie sanders called for that. BLM called for that Trump's people got out of control and threatened lawmakers. Bernies' shot lawmakers dead. BLM killed several and threatened lawmakers. There's no difference other than you don't like trump. Sorry. And that kind of hypocrisy is a problem today.
  16. so you couldn't figure out what the hell Caswell was talking about either i see. Which is odd because you speak crazywoke too.
  17. The onus would be on you to prove them true. And you have failed to do so. That which is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
  18. it is literally it's precise meaning. That's exactly what it means. They came here and settled the place. The fact that they kinda sucked at it and lived little better than the animals for much of that time does not change that simple fact. Those who settle. Settlers. I know - you want it to be a pejorative. You want to deny history to make it sound like other people are bad people and the first nations are good people. The first nations are a group of barely successful settlers who got taken over by a second wave of settlers who were kind enough to not just fight them and wipe them out. Of course, that's left some of their decendents a little bitter about their forefather's poor showing and why wouldn't it? But - ya gotta move on. Just because they were losers at being settlers doesn't mean they can't do SOMETHING to be proud of now. If they try.
  19. Why? We already know this gov't will say anything to keep them happy thanks for the donations!!!!
  20. I literally just did. And im' in the same Place The first nations were settlers. They just weren't terribly good at it, couldn't figure out how metal works and such, so other than beating each other up with rocks now and again they didnt' get much done. Then the second wave of settlers showed up and showed them how it's done. Sorry kiddo, that's history.
  21. well that's a major problem. And the other problem is i think that the left tries to scare people into thinking "if we actually have a military people around the world won't like us anymore, they'll think we're americans". And we CAN"T have the world thinking that you see. They should think of us as utterlly uninterested in war. So unless you've got some peacekeeping gigs.... (and what do we need guns for if that's all we're doing? There's no fighting - It says PEACE right in the title!!!) The left goes to bed at night believing the world thinks well of us and respects us. This coudln't be further from the truth these days but it is in their minds and their perception of others' perception of us is more important than the truth.
  22. Holy run on sentence batman!!!!! Speaking of people who should be arrested - go find me your english teacher. Do you have a link to an article or something that uses more 'standard' english that might explain what you're talking about in a way that's comprehensible?
