With a doctorate in 'second breakfast'

The only one lying here is you. It's in no way shape or form suppresses the legitimate vote. The only people suppressed will be those who vote illegally. Every country has something like this except the US

Sigh. You're not listening, this is why you get your ass kicked so much. I'll say it again. I don't disapprove of folding the coast guard into the umbrella of the armed forces. BUT - you cannot pretend that the coast guard budget represents "increased military spending" if you do that. It's spending we've always done, not a penny in new spending has taken place, and it doesn't actually change our 'military'. Is that not easy to understand? Sigh, We went over this. A big hunk of the money was part of the 4 billion the liberals promised in tree planting and had nothing to do with the bases. Go back and read. So i understand the accounting just fine. Now if nato changes the rules and allows that kind of tomfoolery and it makes the Americans think we're hitting our nato commitments then so be it, BUT... you CANNOT pretend it was an ACTUAL increase in military spending. I literally mentioned the increases very specifically. FFS. I understand fine, what you don't understand is that Carney promised he'd make it happen by now anyway. I have literally backed up every single thing with facts. Why are you like this? You literally screwed up every single thing you just said and most of it was immediately available at your fingertips to know you were wrong before you said it? How the hell are you this stupid? If you have learned nothing else you should have learned that I don't open my mouth unless I know I'm right and make very few mistakes so if I said something you should have taken the time to see whether or not it was accurate instead of just opening your mouth and looking like a complete twat Do you think anybody anywhere is going to respect you for behaving like this? It's fine to have different opinions but you're just factually absolutely wrong when you shouldn't be Get it together man. Nobody's claiming you the brightest person currently on the planet but for god's sake surely you can do better than this? At any rate we didn't come close to 2% in actual military spending. We just changed the labels on some of the accounts in the books and that's my concern No he canceled the order. I literally provided proof of that and we had to pay a huge expense as a result Honestly you and link solar are peas in a pod, you can be force-fed the facts right in front of you and still screw up in your response We had helicopters on order. He canceled the helicopters. We paid like 500 million for the cancellation. The military wouldn't get his helicopters replaced for over a decade as a result Simple fact

Most people have peaks and valleys. Robo is just always peaking.

Sad but true regardless of the gov't. It IS absolutely necessary to regularly go back and clean the cobwebs and make sure that what we have is only what we need or nothing gets done, and that's not particularly 'left or right', that's just gov't.

He also cancelled the order for the sea king replacements Immediately upon taking office in 1993, Prime Minister Jean Chrétien cancelled a -billion contract to purchase 50 EH-101 helicopters (designed to replace aging Sea Kings), calling them a "Cadillac" in a time of fiscal restraint. This political move cost taxpayers roughly million in penalties, causing significant procurement delays So he cancelled more helecopters than he bought, and delayed the military getting replacements by a decade or more. Justin cancelled the purchase plan for the f35 harper started, and now a decade later they're just going to start buying them THe liberals have a long history of cancelling purchases the Conservatives have made, waiting a decade then announcing the same purchases. They are NOT a 'net' spender on the military

I actually do approve of spending on the military, but the point is.... are we? We are on paper but in the real world? You can't just change the label on a 10 billion dollar coast guard program and pretend 'military' spending actually went up 10 billion dollars. Not that i'm opposed to the move but you can see what i mean, it's not actually new money. Money on 'trees' isn't real military spending etc. I mean i get that it's important to give the impression we're hitting our nato targets for political reasons but that doesn't actually benefit our soldiers. I heard they were getting a raise, don't know if that happened, but that would be nice. But where's the AA systems, the armoured personnel stuff, and how much of what we bought went to the ukraine? That's where the aa and wheeled vehicles we bought previously went. I'd be fine with spending 2 percent on our miilitary ir we were actually getting more 'military' out of it, new gear and guns and such, but i don't think that's what's happening by and large. The only thing worse than spending no money on the military is spending completely wasted money on the military. Absolutely nothing to be proud of. That could have gone to improving wages or purchasing better gear for our guys and instead it literally got sunk

Ironically you're projecting again

I thought we agreed you wouldn't drink until the weekends?

Black AND white. And in this case it is. You had 7 words and you still managed to eff it up

Yes. i would consider NOT making the world worse for people ! LOL i absolutely would and i wish you would too I know, please stop. Start not making life worse for people. And seriously learn to read, i know it's almost Friday but still

Well, that's quite possible. There's also the 'sleeper cell' theory that iran as a 'nuclear option' will have dozens of agents causing mayhem à la the dc sniper's methods to spread terror far and wide. But either way that's a REAL threat, the 'threat' of white supremicists really isn't more than any other nutjob going off and doing something stupid.

Kinda feels like maybe he's down to about 15 psi.

They're not even much of a threat at all. They may be despicable but they are extremely small in number, and they are severely constrained by law already. If they try and act on their particular racist beliefs there is a very large and potent police force which can be sicc'd on them to deal with it They're not likely to invade a black Village and slaughter 1200 people in an organized attack. You may get the odd one who lashes out individually but we get that with muslims, trans and everyone else too. No additional threat. There really isn't a comparison

I'm pretty sure he's a bot dude. If he is a bot I would say he's bad programming. If he isn't I would say it's proof that you should never sleep with a baboon

No I didn't miss it. Nor did I miss the rush that the government has been under which we've already documented to throw additional spending in there to try and reach the amount.It looks like the GDP is going to come in less than expected which isn't exactly good news although it does make it easier to hit 2% of GDP But as I saidthis is a fact you just seem to be bound and determined to ignore, when you do things like roll billions of dollars of spending on the coast guard into the military all you've done is change the name of the spending, you haven't actually increased military spending. If I'm spending $10 on apples and $10 on oranges and I turn around and say that oranges are actually apples so therefore I'm spending $20 on apples so i've increased apple spending by double, that doesn't really make it true and it doesn't mean that I've spent any more money than I was before I understand this involves math but do you understand what I'm saying? That if all you've done is change the label on the spending you haven't actually increased spending?

I asssumed it was a typo and you meant "unless it was jew" .

Yes, my insight. And the facts. And the data such as that which i provided you with. I notice you couldn't address any of that. I gave you soild proof that it's the policies that are hurting kids, and here you are crying like a baby about how mean i am to you again. I take it that means you couldn't refute any of that and now you're angry that i'm right? Kid, here's a hint. I don't pick fights unless i know i'm right going into it. That's why you wind up looking dumb, you only care about protecting the liberals and you make bad statements as a result. I care about the truth so I make sure i've researched it BEFORE i take a position and open my mouth. Try that. Simply blindly defending the liberals each and every time leads to a bad end.

LOL you go out of your way to make people's lives worse... but yet again somehow it's my fault Have you considered NOT making life worse for people? Just sayin'

That's Because the garbage tends to be liberal

LOL god i live rent free in the minds of all the lefties on this board it seems I suppose you also be fine with the Jewish being thrown off the side gay or not. You are fine with hamas slaughtering the civilians in Israel in the name of what you referred to as their human right to resist oppression Not sure what you would do if they threw a gay Jew off of a building, that would probably be pretty conflicting for you

I do know, and the reason is because of the liberal policies that have removed hope from our children. They now feel like they will never get ahead And the report is crystal clear that there should be no difference between Canada and the US as far as social media. The effect should be about the same. So that's definitely not why it dropped And you basically just admitted that your entire argument was nonsense. Social media does not explain why we dropped in relation to other Western and European Western countries Here's an AI synopsis Recent polling and election data suggest many Canadian youth (18-34) feel the country is on the wrong track, marked by a significant shift away from the Liberal Party toward the Conservatives. Driven by high costs of living, housing unaffordability, and economic anxiety, young voters are increasingly supporting Conservative options, reversing the 2015 trend. thelocal.to +2 Key insights on Canadian youth sentiment: Declining Liberal Support: Support for the Liberal Party among those aged 18-35 fell significantly, with their accessibility dropping from 58% in 2022 to 49% in 2024. Conservative Surge: The Conservative Party saw an increase in potential youth voters, growing from 40% in 2020 to 48% in 2024, with many young voters prioritizing economic issues. Economic Discontent: Young voters, often dubbed "young, broke, and unwoke," are heavily concerned with housing and affordability, leading to a "right-wing" shift in voting preference. canadian poll youth country right direction - Google Search Young broke and unwoke. That's what liberals have done to our kids

The report says that the western countries in North America and Europe were impacted about the same Yet we fell far further than that. And that is right out of the report yes. You've repeated the same lie but that doesn't make it less of a lie Again answer this simple question. The report says America including Canada and the US would have been impacted similarly by social media. So why did we fall 20 points and the Americans fell nine in the same time.? You can't answer that because you know the answer is that I'm right. If you were right you would be able to answer that easily or show where the report says that Canada was impacted more than America by social media Canada has fallen far faster than any of the other western countries with the same social media issues. And our youth has fallen even faster than that. And you can't explain why. Again directly from the report: Does this mean that social media use fully explains the worrying decline in youth wellbeing in those regions? Of course not. Of course not. Something you just couldn't get your head around even though it was right in the report Social media is not the reason why Canada has fallen farther than the united states or most of the other western nations and the report supports that statement.

You could make a strong case for that for sure, but the point is it's not 'new' military spending if you just roll the existing spending into 'military' spending. They're not part of the military. They're still the coast guard and not a military organization nor a part of the military command. This would be more budgetary than anything. Nothing really changes in the real world. So they're not part of the military. They WOULD be a part of military spending .... but what i said very specifically is that they would NOT represent NEW military spending. And that's what's being proposed Look at it this way. IF the coast guard was .25 percent of gdp, and our actual military spending was 1.75 gdp and we'd been spending that all along, and you claim you want to increase military spending to 2 percent... if all you do is say "well i'm now just adding the existing ,25 to the 1.75", then you haven't spent a single penny more than you were before. You have not increased military spending to 2 percent, you've just added other spending to the military spending to make it look like 2 percent. But not a penny additional was actually spent. You see what i mean i'm sure. The 2 percent isn't real, it's just 'rebranding' previous spending.
