No. Some people are disgusting people, period. You know that's true and yet you malign half of the population. When they go low, do you have to follow?

Poilievre made a career out of that and thought it would make him PM. What happened?

Of course we couldn't take on the US. Duh! But you and Cdnfox sound more like a fifth column every day.

Not my definition, dude. It's from The Urban Dictionary, so it must be true, right? I can agree with that.

WTF are you reading? (or smoking) Whatever you're consuming it's 'garbage in, garbage out".

Your posts would be 90% shorter and still 100% ridiculous if you didn't say left4rd ever second word. From the Urban dictionary: Right wingnut: Someone in the blogosphere who is identified as being politically on the right. Usually a f*cktard. "The right wingnuts at Little Green Footballs are going nuts over Bush's TANG memos." You need a better source to cite.

Trump didn't unite Canada. Canadians tend to be quieter about their national pride than Americans. In this case they just decided to be vocal about it. Just 'cause something's a meme doesn't make it true.

I do. But if you're denying that we've had had 80 years of peace and prosperity then you're incredibly naive or willfully ignorant.

"It has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except all those other forms..." Winston Churchill. Our form of democracy has served us well over the decades.

Higher education? The top 8 states with people holding graduate degrees are all north eastern states. Had a short visit to NYC many years ago. Very friendly people.

I don't need you to tell me what I think. I'm married!

But I asked for the definition of oddfuscation. I thought you could read.

Every time you guys lose: Waa waa, it was rigged - they cheated... The simple truth: PeePee Phucked up and you guys lost! Time for you to stop crying about it>

And as usual you can't come up with a quote. Just your weasel words and deflections.

Yeah, as I thought, no citations or definitions. One dumbass saying something once doesn't make it part of the English language. If it did, every mispronunciation and written mistake would be a word. Kovfefe! Merriam-Webster: "English includes other portmanteaus, such as brunch (breakfast and lunch) and dramedy (drama and comedy). Following Carroll's lead, English speakers have come to call these fairly common words by the not-so-common name for a type of traveling bag with two compartments." Fairly Common! Understand? If in a year or two, we start shearing oddfuscation being used a lot, it will be a portmanteau. But don't hold your breath.

What no cute Emojis this time? Your posts are usually full of them when you're puffing yourself up.

And still losing an election he should have won! La-hoo-sa-her. as Ace Ventura would say.

Show me where I made excuses for China. You're such a weak debater you use every fallacy in the book.

Yet.

And you're a Dumbecile, a cross between Dumbass and an Imbecile. I knew what a portmanteau word was before you crawled out from under the rock you were hatched under. Now , want to try again with a dictionary citation of oddfuscation or use it in a sentence? I know you have problems with whole sentences, so ask your older sister to help with your homework. We can all make words up. That doesn't make them part of the English language. And stop trying to be clever. You come out looking stupid every time.

Really? Can you give us a dictionary citation? Use it in a sentence? Wow us with your Advanced English!

Maybe not but at least they're moving in the right direction. https://www.climatecouncil.org.au Wondering how the world’s largest carbon emitter can also be a leader in renewable energy? It may seem counter-intuitive, but China is the global renewable energy leader hosting nearly half of the world’s total operating wind and solar capacity. China is on track to double its utility-scale solar and wind power capacity, shattering the central government’s ambitious 2030 target of 1,200 GW five years ahead of schedule. They’re also the biggest investor in renewable energy worldwide, where nearly half of the world’s low-carbon spending took place in China in 2022 (US$546 billion). So are the Saudis: https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/03/business/saudi-arabia-electric-vehicles-eviq-hnk-spc It (Saudi Arabia) wants 30% of the cars in its capital Riyadh to be electric by 2030. But Saudi isn’t just adopting EVs, it’s “building an entire industrial ecosystem” around them, said Seitz. The country is embracing “eMobility as a strategic lever to decarbonize, diversify its economy, and localize manufacturing at scale.” While Trump wants to go backward.... Nobody said a carbon tax alone would mitigate climate change. Just one tool among many. And nobody said anything would happen within 10 years. That's just you straw man. Remember the ozone hole. It's still there but: unep.org The UN-backed Scientific Assessment Panel to the Montreal Protocol on Ozone Depleting Substances quadrennial assessment report, published every four years, confirms the phase out of nearly 99% of banned ozone-depleting substances. The Montreal Protocol has thus succeeded in safeguarding the ozone layer, leading to notable recovery of the ozone layer in the upper stratosphere and decreased human exposure to harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. If current policies remain in place, the ozone layer is expected to recover to 1980 values (before the appearance of the ozone hole) by around 2066 over the Antarctic, by 2045 over the Arctic and by 2040 for the rest of the world. These corrections will take decades but they can be achieved.

Yes but at the same time: https://www.climatecouncil.org.au "Wondering how the world’s largest carbon emitter can also be a leader in renewable energy? It may seem counter-intuitive, but China is the global renewable energy leader hosting nearly half of the world’s total operating wind and solar capacity.

They’re also the biggest investor in renewable energy worldwide, where nearly half of the world’s low-carbon spending took place in China in 2022 (US$546 billion)." Ay least they recognize the problem and are moving in the right direction, unlike the US who are proudly marching backwards to the 1950's. We will be if we don't do something. Taxing carbon emissions is just one tool in the box. But it will take international cooperation. The problem took many decades to evolve and will take decades to solve, but it can be done. (Without you and the rest of your backward looking tribe.)

And now Trump the "Great Dealmaker' admits he can't make deals and is just going to "send letters" to countries telling them what tariffs they're going to pay. He routinely breaks his own deals anyway, so why bother with him. I'd be tempted to just sit back and let things work out as they will. Inflation, mid-terms, Trump's dropping polls... And no matter what concessions you give the guy, he's a gangster and extortionist who will just want more. It's gonna' hurt us (and others) but not much we can do other than fix our own problems and try to expand trade with other countries.

Sorry. I thought the title of this "Is democracy in Canada dead' thread was " Is democracy in Canada dead?".
