Just turn the lights out . Well this is the thing. The democrats have made punishment by process of your political enemies a very real thing. I expect to see a fair bit of it now that the shoe is on the other foot and whether she's put in jail or not they can make her go broke and focused on anything other than pushing forward her agenda it's still a win for them To be clear, this is absolutely terrible. This is the worst kind of behavior that we could see, and will lead to even further degraded faith in the judicial system. But the problem is the democrats have given the republicans no choice. Democrats have shown no interest in stopping this Behavior or not doing it in the future, so all of the republicans can do is hit back twice as hard and hope that the message sinks in that if they continue their behavior when they get back into power that someday the reoublicans will get back into power and return the favor again. The process does not work when only one side follows the rules

The "anti inflation act" which limted bigger business and gov't from having pay rises over a certain amount. I do recall reading about that. For those following along, trudeau's spending (the first one ) and the red hot world economy led to very high inflation and to put the breaks on that rather than reduce spending trudeau passed a law which said big businesses over a certain size and gov't agencies could not give wage increases more than like 6 percent or something. The idea is that this would reduce inflation by putting a cap on the amount of money available out in the economy. So i get your point. But even tho that's a pretty serious gov't overreach into the private sector and we may well see the like moving forward it's still not the kind of suspesion of democratic or personal rights that we can see under the real emergency powers carney seems to be talking about.

I'm sure they will. They don't actually stand for anything, they have no morals they have no guiding principles and they have no ethics. They will try and figure out what the public wants and they will try and mimic it because they're only concern is to get into power to milk canadians for money

and the backlash continues Google defends removing Pride, Black History month from Calendar app This is what happens when the woke tries to force itself and it's ideology on people in a confrontational manner. Eventually people get sick of it and there's a backlash. And the activists like the ones in this thread were told that. You started the trans wars and now it's the revenge of the cis. well done.

There was 5,556,629 of 'em in the last election They'll just add it to the US debt and not tell anyone. I mean it's like 1.2 trillion or something? It's not like it's serious money.

His French is Not great apparently, But he still may win without Quebec solidly behind him. We'll have to see

and yet another lie That would be absolutely impossible as long as you're alive

He has never said that. But of course lying about it is what we expect from you I'm having more fun watching you rise like a slug that's had salt put on it. You had 10 years. 10 years where the government could have gotten away with anything and the public appetite for working on climate change was huge. You blew it. You wasted it. And the science is pretty clear that nothing we do is going to make any significant change at all. Until some of the big boys make some decisions to reign things in or until technology advances to a point where it's more desirable to use products that are safer for the environment without subsidy Things are going to get worse and it really doesn't matter where Canada does It would be nice if he first three words were true.

Canadian military leaders warned soldiers are overweight | Ottawa Citizen I guess if you don't put forward budgets for them to have the gear and money to go out and be soldiers they might put on a few pounds sitting around. It's a serious problem and we need to talk about it i'm sure, but the timing is really rotten right now. Trump's already calling us out on our lack of gear, lack of spending and lack of military readyness saying we're relying entirely on the us and now the media's saying on top of it our soldiers are all fatties apparently (or that's how it'll read). Everything really is broken

That's true, that's where they learned it from. The fascist democrats have been doing this for years now. It was inevitable that eventually the right would copy them. Which is something you were told many many times over the last couple of years. Enjoy the payback

Sure. He bought and sold the whole country

That's not what he said. @blackbird Did not say he didn't believe that global warming isn't real. He said the climate plans are the biggest scam in history. And they are. I paid my carbon tax for 10 years or more and it hasn't helped a bit. The whole climate crisis call to spend money and tax the middle class out of existence is a scam. You have 10 years to get the plan right and you failed utterly. So it really doesn't matter whether or not anthropomorphic global warming is real, what is a parent is that the so-called plans to fix it are a scam

I'm not. See? That was a lie I'm just a hell of a lot smarter than you. See? That was the truth

Well that certainly has been our history but it's not really so much true today as it used to be. For a long time Quebec had more seats than the entire western provinces put together. But western Canada is growing faster than Quebec and now the west has considerably more votes than Quebec. In fact BC and Alberta alone have more than Quebec. In fact western Canada has almost as many seats as Ontario. And we are about one possibly two census dates away from parity or exceeding them. It has become almost impossible to win a majority government without strong support in the west. And thanks to the block Quebec has been largely denied the influence it used to have because the major parties can't hope to get as many seats from Quebec as they used to. The kids who are just reaching voting age now we'll see a day when alberta and British Columbia both have more seats than Quebec and together out vote ontario. Which is one of the reasons why I have said many times that it would be so smart for Alberta and British Columbia to begin to develop a very harmonious relationship together looking to protect each other's interests, eliminate trade barriers, stand is a united front against federal incursion into provincial rights. If we did that together it would be a formidable political force already and a devastating one over time

I wouldn't count on Poilievre being quite as ruthless or thorough as trump But I imagine he'll do some good

If it was then we would know it was untrue You never write the truth. I do though and that was the truth

I can see why you like him. He's basically justin 2.0

No you're not. You're ecstatic that he will be protected from that kind of thing and you fully support his right to be as corrupt as he wants and not be held to account. If anything you wish he had stayed on and been allowed to run again and one another four years. You absolutely support corruption and feel that it would be wrong for voters to punish parties who were corrupt. Not much more to say to it than that

In truth we can't be a million percent sure. He just said he'd use emergency powers. Certainly that would include things like the emergency act but there are other emergency powers technically that might be considered to be federal. I can't think of what he might be referring to other than the emergency powers act off the top of my head but they're probably are one or two things that would also fit that description. For example although I can't recall it off the top of my head I believe there is a provision that allows under certain circumstances the setting aside of the constitutional election date during times of war or other severe circumstances and I'm not sure that's in the emergency act. I'd have to look it up Sure but in this context that would be more about stepping on provincial rights rather than people's rights. That's more commonly used to allow the federal government to intervene in areas that would be provincial jurisdiction. Which is also seriously bad but should be blunt federal government tends to do that anyway. And they already control the border so when it comes to tariffs there's not much it would matter. An example of where it might be used would be to ram a pipeline through a province that didn't want it, or to seize control of companies in a province or the like. I'm not an expert on that law but I don't think it would really be applicable to personal rights in this case

They completely ignored the paris agreement and we're not going to meet the targets or even come close So you're saying that you feel better about a party that lies about what it's going to do so that you can feel better and virtue signal compared to a party that hasn't lied about what it's going to do and has said it will come up with something later You couldn't be a bigger hypocrite if you tried. If all you need is someone to lie to you so that you can vote for them then no problem, the conservatives have developed a magic word disc that will eliminate all climate change. They will deploy it shortly after they are elected. Prove me wrong. There you go, see you at the polls

It's worth mentioning that there is actually a huge cultural divide between Canada and America on this. Until relatively recently in our history the age of consent was 14 in Canada. Which meant a 14 year old girl could sleep with a 25 year old perfectly legally (there were other restrictions such as 'position of authority' etc that did apply but not age) And even now we have the age of consent at 16 years old and below that we have the 5-year rule for 15 and 14, where it's not illegal as long as the two parties are within 5 years of age of each other. So for example a 15-year-old could sleep with a 20 year old or a 14 year old could sleep with a 19 year old. And for 12 and 13 we have a 2 year rule. But when they hit 16 they're good to go except for specific exceptions such as position of trust, etc. teacher can't sleep with a student till they're both older. Historically Canada has a lot more sexual liberty than the united states and the history of marrying younger that was reflected in our early laws. It wouldn't be considered perverted in Canada for a 16 year old to sleep with a 20 year old and there is a strong emphasis on teaching kids early about birth control and the dangers of unwanted pregnancy rather than teaching abstinence. I often see things where somebody says that an adult slept with a 17 year old in the states and everybody considers it child molestation or the like and it's kind of funny because in Canada that would be very common. Adults over 20 sleeping with 16 year olds is certainly frowned upon and not encouraged but it's not illegal. Fun fact: Teen pregnacies in the US are still much much higher than Canada, tho they're getting better. So there does seem to be some benefit to teaching safe sex rather than no sex Adolescent fertility rates, 2000 to 2020 – The Health of Canada’s Children and Youth Just thought I'd point out the cultural difference seeing as it seems to be rearing its ugly head here.

You're actually scared spitless it will. If it got better under the conservatives it would again prove how useless the left is. In any case you don't have to be such a crybaby. The NDP government in British Columbia can be credited with a great deal of the effective tools which fought money laundering and has reduced it. So quit being such a baby. But that doesn't mean they're still not more that can be done and should be done. It can definitely be reduced further. The so-called "Vancouver model" May have taken a severe hit but of course they'll replace it with something slightly more sophisticated and that needs to be addressed

Keep it in your back pocket for next time, I laughed

Sorry @Black Dog but he is 100 percent correct and you've got zero room to argue here. You are attempting completely to distort what the word censorship means. This isn't even in the ballpark, it's not even a stretch. If I choose not to go spend my money to see a movie I'm not censoring the director or the actors. If I choose not to pay a company to come assess my home I'm not muzzling or censoring them. If it is censorship and evil to not let the work be done then why aren't these people doing it for free? If this isn't a commercial product why are they demanding to be paid for their time? Why aren't you funding it? Why aren't you putting up your hard-earned cash so that they can go do this research? How dare you censor these people!! You see how stupid it sounds. There's just no defense here in the slightest this isn't remotely close to censorship. There is a limited amount of resources, a certain number of proposals will be turned down every year, in fact the majority of them, and it has always been the case. The government is prioritizing where it's spending its money and that's just the way it is. You can argue that they should be researching different things or prioritizing differently but you can't for a moment pretend this is censorship

There's no analogy here. It is a product. People are selling their time and energy in exchange for the knowledge and information they will collect. The customer has to find that a desirable exchange or there's no funding. If you believe what you said then why aren't they doing the research for free? Why aren't they donating their time and their money to do it? How dare they put limits on the advancement of knowledge!! They want to be paid. That makes this a job like any other. Which means they have to convince the purchaser that it is worth their time to hire them and that the work they are doing is valid and something that the purchaser wants. And rolling stones gather no moss, and neither a borrower nor A lender be, etc etc. Sounds great. But here's the bottom line, just because you think a specific subject is worth researching doesn't mean other people do or should. There is a limited amount of money to pay for research, there is a limited amount of research personnel, there is absolutely no reason in the universe at all for a government to fund research that it does not believe will have a benefit that applies to its mandate. If you want money to do work whether it's research, or building someone a deck, or doing someone's taxes, or taking out their gallbladder, you have to convince them that the results will be worth the money. It doesn't get any more simple than that, And if you believe otherwise then you should be funding these people out of your own pocket because how dare you not?
