    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.

    What 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.

    He want's to do everything he can to support both justin and Jaggers - so this won't split  the vote and if the green candidate wins (and they might, he's in bc) then there's a better chance of  a lib ndp coalition.

    I mean, he's dumb - but he's not stupid :)

    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.

    People 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.

    Sure if you're saying the issue of invasive species is nonsensical or woke or something you should get some science behind your theory and put it out there.

     

    Says the guy who thinks its spread by electric engines. 🙄

    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.

    Thanks for reiterating what I just posted Capt Obvious.

    In the meantime blackbird is reporting something that conflicts with his understanding of the regulations so he should call the local authorities to straighten himself out.

    If he just says fu ck it and does what he wants there'll be no excuse for ignorance if he's caught breaking the law.

    As a hard boiled law and order libertarian he'll understand there'll be consequences.

    But it's not what you said capt'n bullshit :)   You mentioned it can spread by boat - AFTER suggesting it was the electric engine that spread it.   I pointed out that the electric engine is the LEAST likely way to spread it.

    So when you said the use of the electric engine would damage the ecosystem and gave whirling disease as an  example - that was false.

  7. 20 minutes ago, eyeball said:

    There must be some reason you're unaware of so try calling local authorities.

    I"m aware so i'll pipe in - you're out of your goddamned mind.

    It's mostly spread by carrying one fish from an infected area to another area. And even then its actually the worms that spread it.

    It can be spread by your boat or oars, but it is rare.  If the boat or oars dry in between it'll kill it dead.  That is also true of electric motors which are LESS likely even than boats and oars to carry it.

    So as long as you don't go paddle around an infested area and then immediately go to a non infested area you're fine - and if you do whether you have any kind of engine or not is meaningless.

    You're just making shit up dude.  There's nothing that sticks to an engine that doesn't also stick to the boat.  FFS.  Lets at least keep it real

    They are not going to flee Canada over capital gains in excess of $250k per year, they don’t get paid for their services stock or real estate. Sure, “many” plan to someday sell their practice upon retirement and get a once-in-a lifetime capital gain and they’ll MAYBE pay a little more tax than otherwise (but many probably has no idea how much “otherwise was in the first place). And that’s assuming they can’t find some other loophole. Wah. There are plenty of ways to invest your wealth AND to  dodge taxes when you pull in the six and seven figure incomes many of these doctors do. 
     

    And where would they go?  Most countries fully tax capital gains. Here in Canada the gains inclusion rate has gone up and a lot just in recent decades it’s not some timeless sacred cow.  Its only been at its current inclusion level since 1999 under a previous Liberal government.  The last time it was increased it was by a conservative government. 
     

    And many measures like productivity haven’t gotten any better since the CG inclusion was cut. The preferential treatment of Capital Gains perversely incentivizes many business owners to sell instead of invest. Why grow your business and earn fully taxable income when you can sell it for partially taxable income? The Canadian economy has a real problem with foreign ownership and selling off assets prematurely and low productivity,  and the Captive Gains special treatment contributes to that. 

    To be honest - many are leaving already. This is another kick in the teeth. Doctors used to be paid as 'income' and letting them incorporate and sell their practices as retirement benfits as 'capital gains' and such was basically instead of giving them a raise.  Now that's being taken away as well.

    And of course it's not just if they retire. If they move from one place to another they tend to sell practices as well.

    I mean, you can't say it's "no big deal it doesn't mean much" and then justify taking it away - if it's minor, then let them have it.

    And many countries pay their doctors better.  The states for example pays much better than Canada does and it's fairly easy to transfer your certification. And it's within walking distance :)

    Don't try to put lipstick on the pig.  This was a bad, bad idea.

    Yes the killing of some aid workers is not a good thing, but accidents happen all the time in conflicts, one can not expect things to be as sterile as you'd like them to be in combat, atleast not as it is like in the movies....It is easier for you to condemn them than try and understand the plight they are in...but you have made up your mind about this whole issue long ago...

    They also dropped aid packages that killed people.  Sometimes unintended consequences happen.

     

    In the meantime, i see history is repeating itself.

    That stupid justice does not represent the entire Supreme Court of Canada. And be civilized. Do not insult poster, just debate like a civilized person.

    He literally represents the supreme court of canada.  That's how our justice system works.  They are bound by precedent. Unless or until another judge says otherwise that's how it is,

    I get it - change is hard for bigots like you. You probably still call black people by the n-word.

    You are a misogynist bigot and the courts have spoken on the matter. Or are you claiming the supreme court of Canada is being sexist?

    I agree.

    I feel like my gender is being erased and distilled down to a body part.

    Hey at least they're still giving you a body part at this point.  in the states they're suggesting that even pointing THAT much out is unfair to transgender females.

    I meant that he  made comments of his own and  has not so far denied that there were not his comments but an SCC idi*t justice. And even so do not promote bad comments by repeating them. Criticize them.

    I am critisizing them. Your comment was bad. You should not be insensitive or sexist like that.  Especially to people with vaginas.

    You go out of you're way to prove the obvious isn't picking specific items claiming they represent the whole. Always. In every opportunity.

    You can't buy a home in West Vancouver, so that means you can't buy one anywhere.
    You can't get a job in Toronto, so there are no jobs anywhere.
    They suggest you wear a mask and vet the vax in a pandemic, so they forced you to.
    You can prance down the street celebrating massacres, teach with big fake tits, watch porn on the Internet and cable TV at home, hire an escort and marry your team mate, but you insist somehow you're less free cuz you can't stop someone else from doing the same.
    Doesn't matter how many stats about crime decreasing, you read about a gang shooting in Surrey so you're kids aren't safe enough to walk to school in Truro or Corner Brook.

    So everyone can afford a home? So nobody felt pressured to take the vax and nobody got fired for refusing? etcetc

    You lie and pretend that there's no issues instead of fixing them.  It's what  lefties do.

    See what I mean?

    Yeah. You mean if we point out that your socialist bullcrap has lead to problems you freak out and demand that we 'pay no attention to the man behind the curtain".

    Which is why our country is in such bad shape. So instead, we're going to get rid of you losers and hire someone who admits their are issues and fixes them.

    Meanwhile you'll lose your shit over the hyper critical issue of where transgender people are allowed to pee.

    Sorry kiddo - people have come to recognize you and your kind as lying sacks o crap and are fleeing the left by the truckload. Lying and sticking your head in the sand is NOT an answer to lifes problems

    I remind you that the poster did not reference the SCC.

     

    Why would they need to? I don't reference the SCC when i refer to first nations people as 'first nations'.  I  don't reference the supreme court or the human rights councils when i use someone's preferred gender.

    Why would you NEED to reference a court to use accepted terms? Odd thing to say really.

  15. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/doctors-retirement-capital-gains-1.7181885

    Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is rejecting a call from some doctors for his government to reconsider its planned capital gains tax hike.

    The doctors warn that the tax change could undermine efforts to recruit and retain physicians in Canada and threaten the stability of the health-care system.

    Canada is facing a severe doctor shortage. An estimated 6.5 million Canadians are going without access to primary care as family physicians retire en masse and medical schools struggle to recruit new residents to replace them.

     

     

    Driving doctors out of canada - that's probably a winning election strategy. 🙄

    It's like he's not even pretending to be on Canada's side any more.
