Is N. America fated to become a "Second World"?
CdnFox replied to Goddess's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
This is true but let's get real, in this world they consider math to be racist. Basically those on the left just think that anything that you do is going to be racist. Probably homophobic as well but they will consider that on a case-by-case basis. -

Thanks to the liberals ours was a Chinese election -
So far he hasn't given carney even a date when they will start negotiating NAFTA. None of this goes away for us entirely until that happens

I don't believe anyone really cared until the CBC and others made a huge deal out of it and kept it in the front page making it sound like he sided with them and was some sort of neo-Nazi. I believe with the right propaganda you can convince people of anything whether it's true or not. It doesn't say anything about him really. The guy who won that writing was crystal clear that for 2 years he door knocked and worked his ass off and got absolutely nowhere. They redo the writing boundaries and there was a slight bit of movement but he still wasn't getting anywhere. The moment that justin Trudeau left, trump came along and started the 51st state nonsense, and Kearney took over things changed And what that tells us is people were afraid of trump and they believe carney was the best choice to fight him It won't matter. The divisions that Trudeau created are there and they're not going away, and if you doubt what I say take a look at what's happening in Alberta and Quebec right now. It's probable that carney won't start as many divisions, Trudeau ran all of his elections on division and hatred hoping to that would propel him to power. But the polling is also crystal clear that he would have lost and would have given the tories a strong majority if it wasn't for trump. You take trump out of the mix and Poilievre is the prime minister with a majority Will trump be in the mix next time? I have to wonder. The NDP will have a new leader and they will be looking to regain some of their stuff, although they will be ultra broke

Immigrants denied Carney his majority
CdnFox replied to CdnFox's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
I suspect you're right, i suspect that some of the liberal culture war stuff rubbed them the wrong way. But i also think they realize immigrants weren't getting the supports needed under justin because he was brinigng in so many the systems were overloaded. -
Immigrants denied Carney his majority
CdnFox replied to CdnFox's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
LOL yes "something". I think it was that justin trudeau, most hated prime minister in history, left and trump announced that canada would become the 51'st state and carney took over being prime minister and leveraged that to look like he could handle trump. "something". WHat a tard. Embarrassed myself by posting an article? Uhhh sure. Well that does explain why you never actually contribute that way and just run around crybabying at people If you'd prefer to see something different then post your own thread. I know i know.... that might require thinking or having an intelligent thought or the like but maybe give it a try -
Trump Carney: First Oval Meeting
CdnFox replied to August1991's topic in Canada / United States Relations
No, trump already knows these people. Carney would be the newcomer. But I'm sure there would have been plenty of opportunities for the two of them to have a quick sit-down chat or at least get to know each other along with the other leaders Perhaps but why do we really give a crap about them? Carney was not hired to make them feel comfortable. Carney was hired to move forward Canada's interests. His first step out of the gate was a misstep so we have to hope he figures that out and learns to do better quickly -

The province has no power to give any authority to the feds at all. Power is derived from the constitution cannot be changed without an amendment to the constitution. So no the provinces certainly did not give the feds that power But sure, give me an example of the feds playing in the provincial responsibility areas In contravention of the constitution. You probably meant a priori. But the current treaties were mostly signed after the creation of canada and would not necessarily be binding on a legally seperate entity. And treaties signed before would have no weight. That's why the crown made it a requirement that canada's formation include accepting those treaties. Canada may very well find itself still responsible to deliver the money and other things promised in those treaties. But a separate Alberta may not either way. But they should be more concerned about is what if the first nations hold a vote and they decide to separate from Alberta? If Alberta can separate from Canada then first nations can separate from Alberta. Then we get into dispute as to whose land is what and that potentially could be an issue -
I didn't say anything of the kind. So we're at the point where you're just lying i see. That always means one thing: You know you're wrong and you'd rather lie than admit it. Well it looks like we're on the same page. This was a mistake by carney. He isn't the grand negotiator people had hoped. Which is too bad. Hopefully he'll learn and get better. Because at the moment trump is outplaying him He showed the world Carney is on his leash, Carney comes like a dog to his master and then sits there like a good little boy while the adults talk. For trump that's enough. For carney that's terrible.

No, nothing like that happened at all. But go ahead and prove I'm wrong, what day are they starting the negotiations? So that thing that never happened is what you expected to happen. Absolutely nothing was the entire point of the visit? That's a failure. No rational person would. It's kind of surprising that you're in that group in this particular instance but still here we are Then don't go at all. Are you seriously suggesting he was surprised by trump being trump? Again, he achieved nothing and walked away with nothing. It does not appear as though he had a point in going at all. That is a failure and it does not bode well for the future. He needs to talk to some real experts and figure out how to handle this

I'm not sure that she would be the one to do that. It would be interesting to see how that would work. -
They may have all played a role but it's pretty obvious what the issue was, and that was trump and carney. As i said the guy you were quoting himself noted that he got NOWHERE in two years but things changed overnight when trump and carney came along, The convoy was cbc propaganda. Just like it was when they claimed MAGA in the us was funding it, which turned out to be completely untrue despite their early insistence (retraction page 67). Then they claimed the russians were behind it all which was also untrue. I'm sure some people don't like him. He can seem abrasive. I don't like carney. But literally tens if not hundreds of thousands of people do like Poilievre. Vastly more people voted for him to be the leader of his party than Carney's did for him. He got a similar number of people to vote for him in the election. And young people tend to like people that are willing to stand up to bullies and that's what he does. The CBC likes to pretend he's the bully but the reality is he stands up to CBC reports another mainstream reporters when they try and bully it. And younger people see that. At the end of the day the reason he lost was Trump and Carney and Justin Trudeau leaving. Until that moment he was polling to win a massive victory same as always.

I kind of expect every action to produce results. That doesn't mean we're going to get closure and resolve everything right away but it does mean that everything we do should lead to the next thing. If you go to meet with trump then it should have a purpose and you should achieve that purpose even if that purpose is just to get him to agree that we will have our people sit down together and begin to negotiations starting next month. That's not a resolution but it is a result it's moving things forward. Then what was the point. All we've done is shown that he'll go running to trump at a moment's notice and sit there like a good boy. What did we achieve? What were we even trying to achieve? We didn't look particularly good on the world stage, There doesn't look like we forwarded that relationship at all.... Everything you do has to have a point in an end goal. Nothing is just because you felt like it. This is the absolute biggest league when it comes to negotiation and every move must be calculated with a desired effect and response that you're shooting for I don't even know what he hoped to achieve here.

So what you're saying is you think that they should kill the indians?

I don't think they really believe Alberta will go and I don't think they understand how important it would be if they did. They've always been able to put their thumb on Alberta and get what they want. Why would it be different now they would ask -

CdnFox replied to CdnFox's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
oh sorry, that was insensitive. I meant peacefull-challenged and lets face it kiddo, you just wind up embarrasing yourself in the end and then you're BIG P-C'd and follow me around desperately looking for a chance to avenge yourself.... and you look stupid and you're mad and on it goes Now that you've managed to Streisand the thread, if you don't feel a little stupid then it just shows you're as clueless as you are incompetent But sure... you keep cheering little guy!! LOLOL -
As @WestCanMan said he's never been divisive. He can be abrasive attacking his enemies but if anything he's extremely inclusive and if you've seen one of his ralleys it's all about bringing people together, letting them partake in the promise of canada, and building a future. Divisive people don't attract as many people as he did, and from as many different groups as he did. The CBC et al like to portray him as another trump and claim he's divisive but that's just simply not the case.

Well he looked pretty uncomfortable Here's a body language expert commenting on the situation

Is N. America fated to become a "Second World"?
CdnFox replied to Goddess's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Our immigration in general needs to be reworked. We need to get back to a more rigid point system and we need to limit dependents as much as reasonably possible. Canada benefits from immigration done right, with modest levels that are appropriate to our infrastructure growth and focusing on people likely to be strong that contributors in short order. We do not benefit from excessive amounts of integration and excessive dependents -

Because the alternative is war. That's how it is in history It will be bloody and I don't know that it would ever stop. You would get armed groups going to Ontario to commit terrorist attacks and they would be largely Unstoppable. Guaranteed that the rail lines would be disrupted and billions of dollars a day would go out the window. Our military couldn't handle trying to seize territory as large as Alberta, it just doesn't have the gear. Not to mention a reasonable portion of the may very well side with the province. As an alternative redrawing the borders might look very tempting -

I don't really think of you as an affliction. But I could certainly see why you would think others would think of you that way. Like a rash or something -
It doesn't matter Robo. @User and @Nationalist both pointed out nobody was denied life, liberty or property. They had no legal right to be in country. And nothing at all prevents them from trying to enter using legal means moving forward. But they'll have to apply from their home countries. There's no violation there The same way that you determine without due process whether or not someone is licensed to drive a car. Or whether someone owns a piece of property. There is documentation and if the documentation indicates that the person is not from this country and has not applied for the legal permissions or rights to stay in the country then that is sufficient. They are absolutely free once they leave the country to apply to the court system if they feel something has been done unjustly and they will absolutely be given due process. But if they cannot demonstrate a right to stay in the country then they absolutely can be removed without having a court involved. If an error has occurred that has harmed them then they will have recourse through the courts. It's pretty simple

Don't be silly, if I felt that way I would have voted for the guy At the end of the day we've got who we've got, but his whole stick was that he was super mega hyper talented that negotiating deals I could handle trump. That was his entire sales pitch. Now we expect results. And results is not what we're getting. If he did not anticipate the visit producing something positive he should not have gone. He's meeting with trump at the G 7 Summit shortly, appreciators working to at least put something on the table before he went down there even if all it was was a date that negotiations would begin
-
He was fine before the election, and the guy who won mentioned that until trump and carney for the two years before he got absolutely nowhere with his efforts. But once the election got called people were worried about trump and things changed quickly. They should have noticed, they know he's busy with the campaign. But according to the guy lawnsigns didn't even start going out till a week before the election. Whomever PP left in charge missed the signs and dropped the ball. But i really wonder in the face of trump if anything would have saved it.

That is absolutely untrue. The constitution does not make the federal government higher than the provincial governments at all. In no way shape or form is the federal government sovereign to the provinces. The constitution treats them as equals and does not give one precedent over the other It is true to say that the Canadian Constitution does not have an exit clause. There is nothing in there that would allow a province to break that commitment. However as you know the UN absolutely does and I doubt very much that ontario would be interested in a civil war over the matter. I'm more interesting question is what about the first nations? If it is fair to say that Alberta has the power to leave confederation because the will of the people, then it must also be true that the first nations have the right to leave alberta. But that kind of gets messy.
