I know. And you're entitled to feel that way. I disagree, i worry more about their other attributes that will help or hinder them assimilating. In the end i think the base underlying concern is similar, we both want to see people who will fit in and prosper and not try to turn our country into whatever country they just came from or weigh us down. Birth rate. Not growth rate. Our birth rate is currently 1.3 children per female in Canada. In order to have a stable populaton that's not shrinking or growing that number would have to be about 2.3. We have almost half as many kids as we need to break even. So our 'natural' growth rate is down, perhaps i said that. So we rely on immigration. Birth rate is declining. our "natural" growth rate is declining. Our realized or actual growth rate is increasing but only because of immigration. No, that would plunge us into the worst recession in Canadian history. That is every bit as useless as the liberal plan to bring in a million people a year. Radical knee-jerk stupid poorly thought plans, such as the liberals one or stopping immigration entirely, lead to bad results. What we need is modest stable growth that is at or slightly below our ability to provide new accommodations in homes and Healthcare Etc equal to our overall growth.

Follow up with the usual ad hominem BS. That's not 'ad hominem'. Ad hominem is where you dismiss the argument by dismissing the speaker. For example if i had (correctly) pointed out: " Everything you say is stupid because you're a derranged leftie with a penchant for lying and an inability to comprehend, therefore we can ignore what you say", THAT would be ad hominem. Saying that the fact you make nosense statements is not my fault is pure and simple logic and reasoning. The two are not connected, you do NOT make stupid statements because of me. Your stupidity is completely independent of anything i do. So it's not an ad hominem, it's a simple statement of fact which is logically and rationally defensible. I'm not to blame for what YOU say.

No i did not. I pointed out your behavior when you lose, and that's not the same thing at all Which means that you've managed to look both desperate and stupid again And i'm sure that'll result in you following me around and pathetically trying to attack again. And you know why? because THAT IS WHAT YOU DO WHEN YOU LOSE. And that is not the same as having to tell you that you lost

ummm, i hate to interrupt you in the middle of your crazy, but here's a chart of the tornado damage in the states going back to 1995. It actually seems like it's getting better, other than that one year over 12 years ago. And the worst year on record is about 9 billion. So you might be a LIIIIITTTTLEE bit off with that 250 billion number. Unless you mean since the 1800's U.S. economic damage caused by tornadoes 2023| Statista

So as long as I buy a Chinese solar panel on carbon neutral? China also produces vastly more pollution than anywhere else, and is increasing at a rate that is higher than everyone else. As I said they basically increase their pollution production by more than all of Canada outputs every 18 months or so. Varies a little from year to year But I do love when they're polluting it's all our fault for downloading but when they're making something you like it's "china makes it"
-
Oh I can think and laugh at you at the same time you make it very easy I take it you went back and realized your mistake and now you're butthurt? Awwwww Next time check your facts before you open your mouth. Right now and for the foreseeable future unemployment in general and youth unemployment specifically is in trouble. And now they are strongly predicting a recession in quarter three and four or possibly even two and three The liberals played people like you for a fool and you guys Bit into it hook line and sinker

Quebec, Alberta & Federal Government
CdnFox replied to August1991's topic in Provincial Politics in Canada
Well I think he's pulled about every trick he can and he's still short. And he really doesn't need to, having a minority gives him a lot of power as to when to call the next election. We saw Trudeau play that to his advantage more than once The MVP is going to be down for the count for at least a year and a half possibly 2 years. Because they didn't reach official opposition status they're not getting there rebate back from the government for the election. There's a very real possibility they may go bankrupt, but at the very least they're not going to be in a position even with a new leader to fight an election anytime soon So it shouldn't be hard for carney to come up with bills to pass that either make the surviving seven NDP happy or make the block happy or even in some circumstances make the CPC happy. He may not have a free hand but he won't be very restrained. Then all he has to do is wait for the next manufactured crisis, probably shouldn't be hard to come up with one seeing as he's good buddies now with trump. Then call an election, claim it's the most consequential election of our lifetime, and try and scare everyone into giving him a majority. In many ways this whole thing works out better for him this way, and his ability to form a majority is pretty limited at this point. -
I think he was just pointing out that you were wrong with what you said. Which is true At the end of the day the government can in fact do what is necessary to make a project like that happen. That might include funding the whole project, or funding a portion of the project to attract private investment, or creating a tax or other environment where it becomes extremely attractive for private Enterprise to do the whole thing. There might even be combinations thereof, for example the government could invite private industry to have most of the ownership and enjoy most of the costs but also reserve a portion which it will then transfer to native groups along the way to secure their participation and also provide them with future revenue The devil's in the details. But it is a lie to say that it's not within the federal government's power to make it happen one way or another
-
Never thought I'd see that day either, and throw in having a sizable number of NDP switching to the conservatives as we saw last year. I don't think carney has any intention of turning the ship around. I think he will do the minimum amount necessary to stay popular enough to retain power. That will be about the height of it. The guy is already managing by public opinion which is a very bad sign

You do know what actual means right? THat's non imaginary numbers that actually exist Which is what i posted. And the forecasts from reputable sources aren't looking better any time soon. You just go from stupid to stupider to stupidest don't you. Uhh no,,, that was quoting you LOLOL go back and look again ROFLMAO! Holy shit kid, you're a walking Indictment of our educational system

He literally is a big dick so he figures that counts

That's not actually my logic. Nor is that anybody's logic Let me explain basic logic and reason to you. Or at least as it applies here You are making the claim that the books being removed are a sign that they were inaccurate or untrustworthy. Therefore the onus would be on you to demonstrate that this was the reason the books were removed. If you can't then your point is invalid. I have made no claims as to whether or not the books are valid or invalid, therefore there is no onus on me whatsoever to discuss why the books were removed. You made a positive claim as to why they were removed when you Tried their removal to their accuracy I know that may be a lot for you to digest in one sitting. Give it some thought, maybe someone in grade five to explain it to you a couple times, come back and see if you've got it How's your math lesson's going btw?

You're the one doing the wailing in the gnashing of teeth Moonbox : "Im So uPsEt I'm GoInG to TAlk iN oFFset CAPS!!!!! " So upset in fact that you accuse me of something that didn't happen. And you're yet again desperately and feverishly trying to justify your own statements and actions to score some cheap cheesy points so that you can sleep at night with the fact that intellectually you're a failure. imagine being so emotionally insecure with yourself that you have to pretend I said something I didn't to try and make yourself feel bettereven worse being so buthurt that you keep a file of things I've said so that you can try and use them even when inappropriate I never told you you lost. I told you the way you behave when you lose is it pretty bad. I think you've proven that point for me nicely You're a broken little person kiddo.

You totally say they're a victim when you suggest that we pass the problem on to them and they're suffering as a result and don't have to make their own choices. That is literally what you're doing and let's not pretend otherwise. This isn't a kindergarten class Like every other person on the planet, they want to make money and live. They seen an opportunity in selling goods to other people. That is absolutely their choice, that is not us downloading anything on anybody And their choice of how to produce the power that they use to make their products is their choice 100%. It has nothing to do with anyone else. They're cheap crap will still be cheap crap whether it's made from electricity from coal or nuclear power It is 100%, they're blame for any emissions. If you want your argument to be true then you would have to also accept that they're downloading their requirements for coal to us and forcing us to produce coal to sell to them to make money therefore any coal that we harvest is their fault. There you go, no matter how you want to slice it it's still there for responsibility

Your question appears to be "how long did it take to realize Herbie's story was full of crap". About 8 seconds. I did the math twice just to be sure It's not my fault that you make statements that are obviously nonsense. What you said was clearly not true, and even a moment's thought would demonstrate why it's not practical for any significant number of kids who are looking for work this summer. The best they might make a few bucks, a few of them, and that's fine but that's not the same as actual employment. Maybe stop lying your ass off to try and make useless points and stick to the truth and addressing the points and you won't have that problem

Did they say they removed them for errors?? No? Not because of that? You realize all you're doing at this point is finding new and exciting ways to appear to be stupid using different language. You're back to the same point, you can't demonstrate that there's any substantial errors or give an example of one outside of one minor one for the three books. So that's exactly the same as before. I'm actually a little disappointed in you that I would even need to explain that. You're desperate need to defend your echo chamber is clouding you're already subpar thinking even further. Is there or is there not something substantial about the book you disagree with as far as content?

Ahh so it's YOUR fault We buy what they produce. The costs environmentally with their production is their choice. That is NOT our fault. They want to sell goods. They want to produce the goods. The way that they produce them is the decision that they make. If they weren't producing the goods then someone else would have to and we'd be right back to the same situation. Nobody can take you seriously when you want to pretend that the Chinese have absolutely no responsibility for or anything to do with the production of pollution in china. They decide their power sources, they decide their standards, not us. So you are not taking this seriously, china isn't taking this seriously, our federal government hasn't been taking it seriously but your panties are twisted over the fact that I'm having difficulty taking it seriously at this point Trying to make china's decisions. China has decided that environmental issues like climate change are not a top priority. They like to look like they're doing something because it keeps people like you happy but other than that they obviously don't care. Until that changes there's not much that we can do except prepare to adapt.

No it doesn't. When did Hitler ever try anyone in a kangaroo court? Stalin maybe but even there it's pretty weak In fact is if someone's in the country illegally they should be deported. It's fine to give them one last chance to make sure that they can present an argument if there has been some sort of error. But there's nothing democratic about allowing them to misuse the system to try and extend their stay. Either they have documents to prove their legal or they don't. If they don't goodbye. If they do or they can demonstrate that they are in the country legally with some more time than fine.

I've always believed that nervous laughter is your specialty Well then there must be a bunch of things it got wrong. Apperently despite looking they've only found one fairly minor bio error in 3 books So why is it slop? The fact is you can't demonstrate that it is slop. So you're just saying it's slopped because you want it to be slapped because that suits your narrative. Which makes what you're saying ... slop Bad news kiddo. The AI stuff is less sloppy than yours

Ontario needs to invest in EVs as a realistic Option.
CdnFox replied to Boges's topic in Provincial Politics in Canada
The price isn't the biggest problem. Charging is the biggest problem People living in apartment buildings don't have access to charging that is anywhere near as practical or as easy as just filling up a gas tank. Even if you live at home and are willing to pay for the upgrade it's far less convenient. If you're going on a road trip having to stop for extended periods of time while the battery charges is extremely undesirable, especially considering the fact that it might be that when you get there to the next charging station it's damaged or out of service. This is before we get into any of the maintenance or insurance issues or the fire risk At least with a plug-in hybrid if for some reason you haven't got time to charge it there's no problem with stopping and topping up the tank and keep going. And for the vast majority of people they are still going to deliver more than 90% of the savings on fuel. Most people don't travel more than 50 km in a day -
No we don't, we paid our carbon tax for years so the problem is gone right? Right? The problem is gone? Carbon tax solved our problems? Right? So what you're complaining about is that right Wingers prefer to speak the truth? It's a bit of an odd thing to be upset about. But yes you're quite right, the end user will still be the end user. They're still going to burn coal and no amount of carbon tax will stop it despite what Justin believes So if you actually cared about the environment, which you don't, you would be calling for more investment or efforts to be put into the development of technologies that would either capture carbon or allow for an economically viable end to energy production from carbon products. But you don't. Your attitude is that its FINE for them to actually PRODUCE the carbon and ruin the environment as long as we don't make money off of it. Is that because the environment is too omnibus for you?
