Obviously we have to change the tax rules and as I said earlier join with other countries to ensure there's nothing to be gained by playing countries off against one another like that.
And it was explained to you that it wouldn't work.
Just as it was explained that the carbon tax wouldn't work. And safe supply wouldn't work.
How are you people this consistently wrong?

Oct 7 demonstrated overwhelmingly what Palestinians would do if they had the power to do it.
IF Palestine laid down its weapons they'd have a Palastinian state in short order.
If Isreal laid down its weapons it would have a second holocaust tomorrow.

Gee, does that mean they might leave the National Deer Association? You can like guns and shooting if you do so safely, unlike the Republican loved NRA who promotes selling them to ANYONE with enough.money no matter their age or safety inclination.
Well we already knew from previous exchanges that you didn't own guns so i suppose it's no shock that you don't know anything about the NRA either.

Are you honestly telling me that the billionaire can’t afford security?
Are you honestly telling me you think the secret service is something you rent?
I realize it has the words "Service" in it but that's not how it works.
The president of the united states gets protection afterwards. What this person is doing is trying to place his political rival in danger of death or injury. You need to seriously think about that for a minute - you're going to wind up losing your country the way things are going.

Oh, I guess you know their opinions well as you hang out with just so many Dippers.
Yes. From the polls. That's what polling companies do, find out people's opinions about things
Also from reality - the ndp did in fact lose those seats and has for 2 elections. That's real.
So it would seem i know more than you do. Which surprises no one

No, they are claiming to fight authoritarian governance while adopting all the attributes of an authoritarian government and oppressing anyone they disagree with.
And this is common. Those who wish to establish an authortarian rule usually claim they're trying to 'free' people - the exact opposite of what they were doing. Remember the russian revolution was about free people from the evil and oppressive rule of the czars etc. China, nazi germany, cuba - they all sing the same story.
And the left today has REALLY leaned into that. If they want to behave like nazis they call others nazis. Their facists call themselves anti-facist. They weaponize the courts in the name of freedom.
It's an old trick. If you fart, complain about the smell so others think it wasn't you. But really - it's a pretty obvious trick.

Hope all you want. he is doing exactly what his voters want him to.
That doesn't seem to be what the voters are saying. Unless you mean his REMAINING voters - the polls for some months now have noted that the ndp is bleeding to the cpc amazingly enough. I guess when you try to convince people you represent the "average working person" while wearing a 15 thousand dollar Rolex some get a little disillusioned.
It's pretty clear his voters are not excited about him propping up the libs. And they are DEFINITELY not excited about this lib/ndp budget. If Jagmeet goes for it it'll hurt him even further even if he gets a few cosmetic 'add ons'.
Jagmeet took the party from a 44 seat win in 2015 to 24 seats in 2019 and only recovered 1 seat in 2021, and based on polling right now he'd likely lose 5 seats if the election were held today.
He is NOT impressing his voters AT ALL.

Ironically that's the birthplace of liberalism.
The thought actually did occur to me as i wrote that. Most (not all) of what today's conservatives believe actually was the heart of what used to be "liberal" beliefs 100 and even 50 years ago. Individual freedoms, freedom to choose your own way and not be forced to societal norms, no 'class' society (nowadays called intersectionalism), "all people being treated eqaually under the law", etc.
All of that is opposed by the left and the so-called 'liberals' now. Liberalism has become socialism, which is the opposite of being 'liberal'.
17 minutes ago, WestCanMan said:I don't think they put personal freedoms ahead of the needs of society. In the case of the jab, I don't think anyone ever made the case that there was a need to jab people.
You could argue that there was a need for a jab, but we never got "a safe, effective vaccine". No one's self-determination needed to be squashed in favour of the pseudovax.
But the line you quoted referred to conservatives, and by and large it wasn't conservatives who were interested in compelling people to take the jab by force.

Sure - because pointing out that an invasive illness isn't transmitted by battery powered propulsion systems is pretty much the same thing as invoking satan
Stupidicus 7 specifically says "Nor shall thou employ aquatic conveyances containing attached locomotion instruments powered by god's own lightning, for they are the devil's windmills!"

QuoteNo but who would have thought they could leave you feeling so triggered. It's not Christianity that makes you hard-boiled conservatives crazy it's the other way around.
Nobody would have. And nobody does. That's just you spouting bullshit to try to cover up for your lying. And i'm not a christian.
Here's the thing. You make shit up and then get called on it all the time. And people see that. And they know you're not honest, and that when you get called out you go to pieces faster than a hand grenade. And THAT'S why people call you a liar.
Just start telling the truth. It really doesn't take much more effort.

So the Dems are earning legitimate consideration as a cult for all the reasons mentioned here - mainly a series of blatantly false narratives which instantly become "my hill to die on" for millions of Dems, and which are required screeding for everyone who doesn't want to be cancelled - and now in a tit-for-tat, leftists are calling the GOP a cult.
It's just drivel.
I can have whatever opinion I want as a conservative and my bank account won't be frozen by other conservatives. No conservatives will dox me. No conservatives advocate for protests outside of SCJ's homes over a ruling we don't like, especially one as simple as "This isn't our business, it's a state matter". Staying out of other people's business isn't the hallmark of a cult.
I could take the vax, object, or even regurgitate claims of efficacy if I wanted, and still not get cancelled by fellow conservatives. The only thing that draws the ire of conservatives is advocating for children to take it with no reason why or forcing people to take it.
The people who advocate for forcing people to vax are obviously far more cult-like, right?
They all tend to want to do what the others are doing without question or thought and yes they want to stomp anyone that disagrees into the ground, but i still argue that that's less like a cult and more like a herd of cattle. The branch bovinian if you will
And yes conservatives generally aren't like that, we're far more individualistic and more tolerant of other people being individualistic and having different opinions.
But that reflects the underlying political beliefs doesn't it. The left believes that for the 'good of society' that the herd should always do the same thing and move together and if one starts to stampede everyone should stampede - otherwise the herd doesn't work. The herd is all, personal rights don't matter.
Whereas conservatives believe in personal freedoms and responsibilities. And you can't have that in a herd. So they pick personal freedoms over the needs of "Society".
And here we are. We've got the bovines and the cowboys.

After two thousand years of persecution that ended with the Holocaust that killed about one third of the Jews in Europe, I think they have good reason to feel defensive.
Yeah. If anything it's 2000 years of proof that NOT standing up for yourself against your enemies ends badly.

I saw someone say Biden was ahead in the polls. I just wanted to set the record straight.
Ahhh.
Well he's not
But all the polls have a margin of error so there's always a little bit of 'vibration' and up and down play even if nothing has actually changed. Sometimes that gets some people a little excited needlessly

Polls may not always be perfect, but they can be a good indicator of outcomes. Still, there is a way to go until the election; a lot can happen, but the current trends have been in Trump's favor, and compared to the polls from the last two elections, these are some of the best polling numbers Trump has had... and he won in 2016 with worse polls and was not too far off from winning some of these battle ground states in 2020.
We saw some movement in early january and trump took the lead by a nose (but - like a fairly big nose. An "italian" lead if you will), but since then the polls have been largely stagnant - they just bounce around a bit within their margin of error as you'd expect but there's no real movement.
In elections there tends to be specific points where the undecided or 'soft' votes tend to move one way or another, and they tend to be fairly stable in between. The first week or so of an election, right after debates, the last 4 days etc. I think right now we've just gone through the 'pre-eleciton' phase and barring something significant happen we're probably not going to see a lot of motion between now and the start of the election, where people start paying attention again. Maybe at the nominations where there's a little media coverage of the 'official' candidates.
But obviously the start of the race is going to see trump with a slight advantage over biden. The campaign will decide who wins in the end tho, campaigns always matter but this time more than usual i'd think.

I find it very interesting that Israeli tactics closely mirror the Nazi's in countries that had formally surrendered to them.
What on earth are you talking about? The israeli tactics don't look like the nazi ones at all.
QuoteWhat we call freedom fighters, by virtue of having won the war, they called, with some justification terrorists.
No, freedom fighters such as those we saw in ww2 seeing as that seems to be your example - fought the enemy. Their goal was not terror, it was to disrupt enemy supplies. They didn't target civillians, they targeted enemy troops and support elements.
THe terrorists however deliberately target civilians. They are focused on 'terror' and burn women and children and mutilate their bodies and rape and slaughter innocents as a primary goal.
That's the difference between 'freedom fighter' and 'terrorist'.
You need to read a history book i think.

No, whirling disease is spread by spores.
But you know that too.
Oh i know. That's why i didn't claim it was spread by electric engines.
You however......
You just make shit up and then you look dumb. You clearly didn't know anything about that before googling desperate to look for something that fit your fictional narrative and you skimped on your 10 second google education.
That is just sad.

The movement of fish, mud, and water can spread whirling disease. It can be transmitted through spores that attach to equipment (used for swimming, paddling, boating, water pumping, fishing), pets, or through infected fish (alive or dead) and fish parts.
You see the word engine, or prop, or the like in there? No? Me neither.

I practically grew up on a boat.
QuotePeople who are determined to be as stubborn and pig headed for the sake of whatever motivates them is why we need lots of red tape...for rules, regulations, enforcement, investigators, charges, penalties etc etc. Oversight especially, with a capital O in many cases.
Are you saying you'll stop being that way if we get you some red tape?
It's m0r0ns like that (that's you btw) who love bureaucracy for it's own sake and make false claims about spreading disease to lakes to try to justify it
If we don't stop electric motors they'll spread disease!!!!
-Your own evidence says that's not accurate
SOOO?!?!!? It's people like you who rely on facts that make red tape necessary to force you to do what I think is best!!!
Pfffft. What a silly claim.
We'll be getting rid of a lot of that shortly. Your leftist woke bullshit has dragged this country down from one of the best in the world to a joke with a plummeting standard of life and no future.

I honestly don’t think anyone is going to pack up their family and relocate to foreign country because of a hypothetical additional tax they might incur decades in the future And unless they do so before June when the CG increases, they’re only to end up incurring the tax now instead of decades from now
Besides doctors make a lot of money it’s not like selling their business is their only retirement option they have more opportunities to save and invest than the vast majority of society. They can invest in stocks and bonds and mutual funds like the rest of us plebes. Not to mention that in addition to their day job many also dabble in all these private healthcare rackets doing corporate and executive wellness programs and side-gig consulting for insurance companies etc. They’re not going to be retiring in poverty.
It's not "hypothetical", it's guaranteed. They will sell the practice someday - they MAY sell a practice 3 or 4 times if they move about the country like most people do. There's a reason why they're pissed about this and saying so loudly.
And for many it will be a straw that breaks the camel's back. It all adds up. Long hours, not great pay (for doctors) to begin with, They work under horrifically stressful conditions because there's not enough of them, now tens of thousands of dollars in additional taxes.
If you kick people enough - they'll do something about it.
Put it this way - aside from BC recently who's done anyting FOR doctors? Covid was hell, their pay isn't going up, they're brutally overworked, and they look south and see they can earn more money, have more respect, be treated better and taxed less.
We will lose doctors over it
And here's another kick in the teeth - what you'll see is fewer family doctors. More will become specialists and fewer will go for being family doctors. Which means that people don't have a doctor. This was already happening because of the financial and other considerations.
You cannot blow this off as being 'nothing'. IT's something - and it's something to a system that's ALREADY strained AF.
