Now that's the biggest lie and the stoopidest thing anybody has said on this forum! Anybody who thinks Trump isn't a conman has lost touch with reality!

Yeah, if it's on the internet it's GOT TO BE TRUE!

Have you seen the asslicking all his cabinet members give him at the start of every meeting?

So this "full-grown working man" tells you the truth as he sees it and it's the CBC's fault? If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck...

So now you can call for the deaths of one group if your millenia old religious text says it's ok? "The Bloc Québécois is planning to introduce an amendment to a Liberal government bill" You didn't mention that. "The reality is I don't think people should be using the Bible, the Qur'an or the Torah to escape from committing a hate crime or claim that the hate — what would otherwise be a hate crime — is done in the name of a religious text," Miller told reporters on Parliament Hill. Pierre Poilievre posted on his X account that the change would "criminalize sections of the Bible, Qur'an, Torah and other sacred texts." Poilievre doesn't get the difference? It's not the texts. It's people using the texts to condone hate crimes and get away with it. I think Quebec goes too far on religious freedoms and dress codes, etc... but this seems like it might be a good loophole to close.

OMG, do a simple google search on Stephen Harper scandals. Or how he routinely shut down Parliament when things weren't going his way... Is that like the Notwithstanding clause that Alberta and Quebec are so fond of? Allows them to do whatever they want? Does this override provincial powers? On the face of it this doesn't look good. It's like other countries are doing, centralising more power in the federal leader's office. How it's implemented will be very telling. " Division 5 of Part 5 amends the Red Tape Reduction Act to, among other things, authorize ministers to grant temporary exemptions from the application of provisions of certain Acts of Parliament and instruments with the aim of facilitating the design, modification or administration of regulatory regimes to encourage innovation, competitiveness or economic growth. Conditions: (3)A minister may make an order under subsection (1) only if the minister is of the opinion that (a)the exemption is in the public interest; (b)the exemption would enable the testing of, among other things, a product, service, process, procedure or regulatory measure with the aim of facilitating the design, modification or administration of a regulatory regime to encourage innovation, competitiveness or economic growth; (c)the benefits associated with the exemption outweigh the risks; (d)sufficient resources exist, and appropriate measures will be taken, to maintain oversight of the testing, manage any risks associated with the exemption and protect public health and safety and the environment; and (e)a feasible implementation plan has been developed. Public Information 14(1)Subject to subsections (2) and (3), a minister must, as soon as feasible after making an order under section 12, make the order and the following information publicly accessible: (a)a description of the decision-making process and a summary of the reasons for the order; and (b)a description of the process for providing comments or information to, or requesting information from, the minister in relation to the order." There are some guard rails. How would the Conservatives get big projects done? Will they reverse this if they get into office?

Oh I wouldn't waste anger on him. But apparently you didn't read his post.

What a bunch of id!otic, asinine, Q-anon, right-wing, puerile, ignorant, simple-minded, steaming pile of sh!te! Does your mom make you wear your hockey helmet all the time or does the tinfoil hat protect you?

Maybe you should specify who "They" are. Otherwise that's just a lame stoopid post. " But sooner or later the radical left is going to face a serious reckoning. It's coming." So you do support political violence when it's from the right. You're just going to hide when it happens.

Well, I don't have an account on Musks pile of shite, but explain to me how Canadians NOT using the free pass costs the gov't $200 million.

I have already corrected that mistake. Americans died at twice the RATE Canadians did. Their 1.2 milliion versus our 60,000. So you're admitting that better lockdowns would have worked.

Make up your mind. Excuse me... how many people died from Covid? Due to the very efficient lockdown in the Maritimes, it was called "The Safest Place on Earth" at the time.

I see why you like PeePee so much. Simple soltions for simple minds. You think even if we cut immigration to zero, that would fix the medical system? How long would that take? What would that do to tax bases? What would that do to employment and wages? Sure try some private care. Then don't b!tch about the costs. Or the added problems to public care. Are you ok with good health care for the rich but not the poor? But seriously, try it out. If it helps everybody I'll sign on. Last time I checked the provinces do collect taxes for health care and other things.

Fantasy of yours? Again, quote where I said anything like that. Oh, wait: you can't. As usual you just make sh!t up and ascribe thoughts to others to make yourself sound good. (It ain't working). Did CdnFoxnetwork mentor you?

So you avoided the point that quarantining, lock-downs and masking have been going on for centuries, contrary to your claim it had never happened before. It's easy to educate yourself these days.

I'll see your bid and raise you 2 stars for 'Virtue Signalling'.

There's good reasons for those policies. Most medical errors happen during change-overs, between staff, during shift changes, etc... Simple identifying questions stop a lot of errors from happening. When you're really sick, tests like BP and blood are great indicators of your condition. Would you really rather have them not check on you? And just because a technology is old doesn' mean it's bad. Faxes work fine.

My wife had a similar situation 2 yrs ago. Her appendix. She got the same immediate care she needed. Seems like we have 2 systems: the real one, which despite its problems, works when it's needed, and: the right-wing imaginary one, that's apocalyptically dis-functional. It's just raining. The sky is not falling!

So wrong. From a simple google search: Since the fourteenth century, quarantine has been the cornerstone of a coordinated disease-control strategy, Spanish Flu 1918 Maritime quarantines, which had stopped infectious diseases from entering Canada in the 19th century, did not prevent the spread of the virus as the infected were travelling within the country, where no quarantine measures had been developed. During the 2003 pandemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome, the use of quarantine, border controls, contact tracing, and surveillance proved effective in containing the global threat in just over 3 months. The history of epidemic face masks traces back to the 17th-century bubonic plague.

Google search: Men vs. Women Insolvency Statistics The proportional breakdown of insolvencies between men and women has remained nearly even in recent years: 2024: Men accounted for 51% of insolvencies, and women accounted for 48%. 2023: Men accounted for 51% of insolvencies, and women accounted for 49%.

Gotta give you an A for hyperbole.

Where did I say that? Do I make up sh!t and tell you what you think? Who said that? And yes, I'm a small l liberal, but I have voted Conservative lately. And if the Federal Conservatives ever get a sensible centrist leader, not that snivelling simp they have now, I might consider supporting them.

If you have a solution you'll be a national hero. Aging population, inflationary pressure, the ongoing expansion of everything in the medical field...I'd love to know the answer.

It was the SPREAD of Covid we were fighting, with the best knowledge we had at the time. If we'd followed your idea of no isolation, we would have lost a lot more people. Now, thanks to the anti-isolationists like you, next time we will lose more people to whatever killing disease sweeps the world.

My mistake. I meant to say Americans died at TWICE the RATE Canadians did. 60,000 Canadians vs 1,200,00 Americans.
