The MAGA Right is Flirting With Political Violence
How about it, right wingers? Legitimate to stoke VIOLENCE?
You mean like threatening to take away the former president's security detail while saying he's too evil to deserve to be protected from someone killing him?
Not a fan.

I have never said I don't own guns.
You didn't need to. You made such insanely stupid comments regarding guns that it was quite obvious.
It was equally clear that your 'military service' was likely yet another lie. I suppose someone could serve in the military without knowing even the basics about firearms, but it doesn't seem very likely. It would be like claiming to be an indy car driver and not knowing tires had air in them.
But sure, we'll add 'extensive military career' to your ever growing list of fake occupations, with decades long insurance expert and court testifyer, your lengthy time preparing nato policy etc, your legal career, and all the other ones

It bothers me far more that so many of the MAGA CULT likes Trump, cause they can VOTE.
You don't like that people have the right to vote? How very dicatorial of you. I'm surprised you don't like putin more, you two have so much in common

I would say it's probably a given that they support Trudeau but "obvious" "cheerleading" .. I don't see it.
A liberal probably wouldn't.
When you skew the story away from the facts in order to cast an undeserved shadow on someone, then that is just bad reporting and MAY be bias. When you and the org you work for repeatedly do so to the betterment of one person or group and to the detriment of another, it's clear bias.
That's what happened here and it happens with that media outlet and reporter fairly regular.

Meh, your typical rubber and glue response to everything is just a pathetic attempt at trolling.
Meh it's very liberal of you to be angry that my response to your nonsense is the same each time.
And no - a "Rubber and glue" argument is something entirely different. If you can't make an intelligent reply at least try not to use the wrong words on top of it.
So you have no answer as usual. You keep demanding more accountability and yet parent address the fact that you don't make use of the accountability that you have already and therefore cannot indicate why having more would change anything.
And once again you want the fact that you are a loser to be my fault.

So the TL/DR is that if we were trying to be fair we would be taxing by the household or family, instead of by the income earner.
This is not dissimilar to what Harper did with his family 'tax splitting', which allowed a non working spouse to split their income with the working spouse to reduce taxes.
It's actually not a bad idea. I have thought forever that it is wrong to say that just because one partner doesn't earn anything or earns less but they have no value or participation in the earning partners ability to work and earn money

One-earner families pay thousands more dollars in income tax than two-earner families with the same income. How is that possibly fair?
Consider two similar families living in Ontario. In the first, both parents earn $60,000. In the second, one parent earns $120,000, the other nothing. These two households have the same financial resources, yet the second family pays over $7,000 more a year in taxes (not including CPP or EI). Why? Because with our progressive rate structure, the single-earner’s second $60,000 tranche of income — from $60,001 to $120,000 — faces a higher marginal tax rate than the two separate $60,000 incomes earned by the first familyAccording to Statistics Canada, 2.2 million couples in Canada rely on one income. Plus, an unknown number of the 5.1 million dual-income earning couples will have earnings unequal enough to trigger some form of tax penalty. In short, it’s not a trivial issue. -

Microsoft finds Russian influence operations targeting U.S. election have begun
Of course, Trump's announcement he won't spend a penny on Ukraine means he is Putin's favorite AGAIN. 🤮
When did trump announce that? Where is this announcement?

Campbell was, according to Mulroney, among others, too busy shacking up with her Russian lover to pay much attention to that campaign. She made many missteps and misstatements and blew the lead she had.
She was terrible on all kinds of fronts. Honestly she would have been a terrible leader. And she was arrogant enough to think she could win without support in the west.
She's a horrible person these days, she'll happily take a cheque to bad mouth current conservatives and past conservatives as well.
Canada dodged a bullet with her.

If there ARE issues, limitations and risks, perhaps this should have been done first before mass use?
I don't think so. I think the gov't was right to put it out there and offer it to people. In certain at risk groups i think it was a life saver more than a life risker. There was no time to finish proper testing.
BUT!! - in my mind that means they SHOULD have sent a clear message - "there could be lots of side effects we don't know. This is PROBABLY safe but we can't be sure - you should think careful about taking this unless you're in an at-risk group for covid deaths" and then not forced people to take it.
It would have been as wrong to deny people who were at risk the choice as it was t deny people the choice about taking it when they weren't.
They should have been as honest about the risks (including that they were unknown and could be worse than expected) as possible, then respected people's decisions.

Talk about timing.....
Did you miss the $15 billion Honda investment in 4 EV plants in Ontario this week?Nope. What a stunning waste of money. Bilions wasted to buy someone else a plant that will almost certanly be repurposed to something else by the company who owns it 5 years after it's built and it will have been paid for by Canadians borrowing on our children's future. It's a frikkin' crime
This is why it's WRONG to be woke.

The trouble with wokeness is that it's aggressive; in fact, it's gotten so aggressive that it doesn't leave very many options. You either stand down, or you stand in its way. Those really are the only two options - most Americans have stood down, but now I think more and more are seeing the need to stand in its way.
Aggressive is one word, Invasive is another. They're not prepared to leave you alone. In the past with most things people have been like"you do your thing which I think is crazy and I'll do my thing which you think is crazy and we'll both have a good life". But woke demands that it inserts itself in your life and that you conform to its wishes no matter what. It is no longer okay for you to do your own thing, you must do the work thing or woke will hunt you down and punish you.

Erin O'Toole was the best person for the job. Unlike Sheer or Poilievre, Erin at least had a career before enteering politics.
What kind of dumbass thing is that to say? Justin had a career before politics - look how that turned out.
That's like saying "This surgeon has 20 years experience being a surgeon, but I'm going with the guy who's only got 10 years because he used to be a plumber and obviously it's important to have a job outside of your expertise"
What is the job position we're talking about here? Chief politician. What's the best experience for being a politician? Being a politician.
Although harper had a degree in economics most of his working life was as a politician. He was one of the best leaders this country has ever had by almost every metric.
If you liked O'Toole then you liberals should have voted for him. Now you're going to get Pierre and you're probably going to get him for Three terms, two at least.

More like encouragement when us peons refuse to demand any meaningful level of transparency at the interface between public policy makers and a very well funded and motivated private and corporate wealth defence industry.
So what would you do with this transparancy? For example - if you caught a politician, say, taking large amounts of money or gifts to hold illegal closed door meetings offshore with an all expenses paid luxury trip from a government lobbiest?
WE know the answer - you'll do nothing if its a liberal.
SO whats' the point of MOAR transparency if you won't do anything with it?

How in any way is killing 30000 women and children in hospitals schools and refugee camps a means of ....anything but self righteousness?
And how many of those were hamas fighters? Hamas doesn't release those figures. 10k? 20k? We know a LOT of them are combatants
Do you think it's "Self righteous" for someone to shoot at an enemy military force?
Did you CLAIM to be in the military at one point? Wasn't that the kind of job YOU signed on for?
You're a bit of a hypocrite. Are you saying that you think our military should ONLY be sent to war if there's no civilians in that country?
Hamas uses civvies as meat shields, that's not the fault of the IDF. They want to wipe out hamas. That seems pretty reasonable.

Nobody is persecuted by virtually every peoples on the planet for no reason, particularly not for that long.
The reason is often as simple as 'they're different' or 'something has gone wrong in our world and we need someone to blame, those guys are kind of outsiders". Witches were persecuted for hundreds of years and they didn't even exist FFS.
Some people blame the rape victim for looking sexy and 'asking for it' but most sane thinkers realize that's morally bankrupt thinking. You would have to give specific examples for all those times and argue that those examples show that the jews deserved rampant prosecution.
QuoteHate is exhausting and can not be maintained without an injection of fresh reasons
Hate is easy. It's about the easiest motivational emotion to maintain. It's easier to stay angry than to be happy. Hate will travel around the world while happy is still tying up it's shoes. There are a lot of people who hate other people for generations. Hate ABSOLUTELY does NOT require 'fresh injections' of anything.
