  1. A sore back? What did you expect? I know from experience that's a waste of ER time, but go in with a real urgent problem you'll get immediate care.
  2. And tens of millions of Americans feel the same way about private health care. Compare the costs per person. Imagine needing a heart bypass or cancer treatment in the US vs canada. Google and see all the serious problems with the health care system in other countries. The scope and costs of health care has grown everywhere, not just in Canada.
  3. Is that what they were doing from 1957-1984? 2025 election: Chris d'Entremont Conservative Party of Canada 23,024 47.7 Ronnie LeBlanc Liberal Party of Canada 22,491 46.6 Not exactly a conservative landslide.
  4. Legendary, a synonym for mythical, meaning something everyone's heard about, but no one has seen.
  5. Not frightened. But I wouldn't let a hospital orderly do brain surgery on me. PeePee's incompetent.
  6. They didn't have to contend with a pandemic and an even worse plague called Trump.
  7. By Socialism you mean health care, social security, EI...? Even the most right wing conservative party wouldn't scrap those. Even the US has some of those. are they a socialist country? How much do they subsidize industries? Every advanced country has social programs. Just what the heck are you talking about?
  8. He'll rise from his coffin...just not during daylight. He's responsible for tens of thousand of deaths.
  9. Not as much as you hate Carney. You're projecting again. Actually I don't hate poilievre. I just have contempt for him. He'll never be PM, thank God.
  10. I Double-Dare PeePee to instigate an election! Is he actually that stupid?
  11. More likely p!ss off Canadians and give the Liberals a majority. The only good that would come from another election would be getting PeePee out of our lives for good. Yesterday Rosemary Barton asked "You are not going to support the budget. After losing an election, saying Carney's the worst and then support the budget." PeePee froze, then pivoted, looking like the id!ot he is. Watch it at 7:18 of the video. It's hilarious! https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/video/9.6963772
  12. I suspect that what's really pissing off Donnie Dicko is the fact that we're actually negotiating and not just bending over and giving Trump what he wants, like so many other countries are doing. That's why he hated Chrystia Freeland. How dare she stand up to the Americans and hold out to get a good deal?
  13. So a 14th century word comes from a 20th century word? Time travelling, maybe? Gender - 14th century Gene - 1909 What is the root of gender? From 14th century Derivation. The modern English word gender comes from the Middle English gender, gendre, a loanword from Anglo-Norman and Middle French gendre. This, in turn, came from Latin genus. Both words mean "kind", "type", or "sort". What is the root word for gene? The term "gene" was coined by Danish botanist Wilhelm Johannsen in 1909, derived from the Greek word genos meaning "birth," "race," or "procreation" The word gene takes its root in the ancient Greek, where génos means the race, which comes from the word gignomai which means to engender, to become. Gender is an assignation by language. Even tables and windows have genders in some languages.
  14. Not maybe. Definitely. As the efficiency grows and the costs tumble, renewables and and nuclear etc...will replace fossils. Not years but a few decades.
  15. What truth would that be? Waiting with bated breath for this one...
  16. What negotiations are done? MOUs and 'frameworks for negotiations' aren't trade treaties. As Lisa Raitt put it, "These aren't trade deals. They're 'Announcables'". All sizzle, no steak!
  17. And every time we try to do that the right-wing gets apoplectic - "Why are we giving our money to other countries? Survival of the fittest!!" and sh!t like that... No serious authority said climate change would lead to humanity's end. But it will do us serious economic, social, and financial damage. And Gates didn't say climate change isn't one of our most serious problems, he just stated the obvious (which we already knew) that ther are other extremely serious problems as well. The public is smarter than you and recognize our problems. It's the id!ots on your side that don't want to look ahead and fix some of these problems
  18. It should be in the future, but instead we'll let China totally dominate the world market in EVs, while we're stuck in the 50s.
  19. As usual your extreme partisanship makes you stoopid. And what did Ont. taxpyers get for their $75 MILLION? Oh yeah, DOFO got to feel like a hero for a few minutes. Worth every penny!
  20. But their intellectually-challenged leader might mis-read the room again.
  21. Listening to PeePee's press conference the other day. He said something so supid I backed it up and put on subtitles to be sure. Speaking on youth he said: "They're living in their parent's basement into their 30's. Their rents have doubled." So do they move or get new parents?
  22. Headline: DOUG FORD SHOOTS CANADA IN THE FOOT! Ford will pull these ads himself, or of course Carney will have to convince him. No caving involved. And trumps pendulum of immature emotional swings, after talking to some adults, will bring him back to the table. It seems they're getting close to some kind of deal but this will set it back a week or so.
  23. So true. And now he has a mini-me in his deputy leader, Melissa Lantsman. Looks and talks just like him. Hope for her sake she's not learning politics from him.
  24. He's a moose, not an elk!
