Belated happy 4th of July!

Real Women of Canada endorses Sloan and Lewis. https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/the-ultimate-pro-life-voting-guide-to-canadas-conservative-party-leadership-race

Is Maxim Bernier still around? I'm rooting for Leslyn Lewis.

All I know for a fact is that three gay friends from college are now all heterosexuals - married to women. One is a proud grandfather - we hooked up again on FB. And, no I didn't bring up reminiscing his past as gay. He didn't bring it up. We just both seem to treat it as it never happened at all. But I think for some it can be nature.

Hahahaha and here I am marvelling that we got quite a number of newbies! I didn't even think to look at the date!

What makes you think a child is not wanted, and not cared for..................if he is adopted? Giving up the child for ADOPTION is the only humane, and moral option. Why don't you let the child decide for himself if it's fair to have been borne, and given the chance to live his life? After all, he didn't ask nor did he have any say at all why he now exists. So, how come he's here? Who made that happen? What I find so UNNECESSARILY cruel, and unfair, is for a woman to end up with an unwanted pregnancy at this time and age, and using abortion as the quick fix to her dilemma.

There isn't much publicity about her. For those who wonders about her policies: https://www.leslynlewis.ca/policies https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/leslyn-lewis-pride-parade-1.5492123

Someone pointed out that Lewis wouldn't be the first person of color to become leader of a political party -there is Jagmeet Singh! It was pointed out too, that Lewis wouldn't be the first female either - there was Elizabeth May. Either of the two didn't beat Trudeau. But I pointed out: Jagmeet Singh may be a person of color but he is representing a Socialist Party! Canadians may be socialist-leaning, but they are not into full-pledged socialism! Added to that is the fact that Singh isn't a woman! Elizabeth May may be a woman, but she isn't a person of color. She's also depicted herself as an extremist environmentalist. Leslyn Lewis is black...a woman....and, with a degree on Environment. She is the epitome of three vital liberal issues - all rolled into one package! Here are the reasons why I urge all Conservatives to come together, and vote for Leslyn Lewis. Lewis cannot be associated with Harper, Let's exploit that. Lewis is new. She has no baggage! No scandal, no political gaffes or mud that can be used against her. Let's exploit that. Lewis is not a career politician. Let's exploit that. Lewis is not a member of the elite. Let's exploit that. Lewis is female. Let's exploit that. Lewis is black. Let's exploit that. Lewis has a degree on Environment. Let's exploit that. Lewis has a very positive persona - she doesn't strike me as someone who'll be a "loose cannon." She is intelligent. She is diplomatic. Dignified. Motherly in stance. She represents all the diversed people of color, and immigrants in this country. Let's exploit that. There is only one global social issue that's front and center: systematic racism. Will Canada deny her (and what she represents) this opportunity? Because of what she represents (and that, she is also a Conservative).......she will become a UNIFIER for ALL Canadians. Her opponents will have a very hard time attacking her. They'll be walking on eggshells! That includes the media! And yes. She's got her policies. They are based on conservative values, but she presents them in a diplomatic way. She's all those - in one package! Let's exploit all that. The Conservative Party is the only party that has a contender that has all those that are very relevant in today's world. We have to seize this moment!

I don't see McKay winning against Trudeau. I simply don't have that vibe at all. Being a pro-life, having declared himself a solid pro-choice, I can't bring myself to vote for McKay. I do understand their strategy that they want someone who'll appeal to the centrist population - however, for me, it's like hitting smack against a wall. Exacerbated by the fact that he'll whip his MPs and forbid them to vote with their conscience....... I can't get past it. It's the deal-breaker for me. I see Leslyn Lewis fitting right in, as the perfect leader in this new "environment" we're facing today. She'll win against Trudeau. Leslyn Lewis is the leftists' worst nightmare - all of them parties! - and that includes the media!

Makes sense. Pollster aren't counting on the difference between last election and this coming election. Trump will win.

You're reading only one side of the story!

I don't think that would matter.

Trump has his ways.......

Here's the news which some media are using as a narrative to reach out to evangelicals: https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/earthquake-strikes-northern-oklahoma-tulsa-trump-rally-71368777 Lol. The implication seems to be that God was showing His disapproval of Trump. If indeed that earthquake was a message from God...........folks, look at this way: GOD WAITED UNTIL THE RALLY WAS OVER! GOD WAITED UNTIL TRUMP FINISHED GIVING his message! GOD WAITED UNTIL AFTER TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN RALLY - NOT INTERRUPTING THAT RALLY! Lol. Maybe, God also waited until Trump was outa there! Here must be to whom the message was for: "......was felt in parts of Tulsa as protesters filled the city’s downtown streets............."

"A lot," like how many are we talking here? The reason is most likely a mixture of so many reasons: like, what you say may have been a factor - like how many would actually spend their allowance on Trump! Just to troll him? If someone did purchase huge amount of troll ticket - I bet it's not teenagers, but someone with a big wad of cash! Like the Dem campaign team? Also, the virus would've changed some people's mind about going, and opted instead to just watch on tv, and also the protests would've been a big factor too! All the violence that came with these protests is surely not lost to people. The potential is there (especially with the controversy over Juneteenth).

The numbers may be lower than expected ( a million had registered from what I hear) - but what we saw on video were the seats BEHIND Trump. If you're going to be there and choose a seat, wouldn't you want to be facing him? I'm curious how many seats in front of him are actually empty. I expect those seats would've been filled up.

That's what the media will try to play up - to discourage and demoralize Trump supporters. That's okay. Countless tuned in on social media and other digital outlet. The real show of force will happen in November. In the meantime - the more Trump supporters remain healthy for that big November event, the better.

Why, are these fonts and color options I see on my bar not meant for use? Maybe, you ought to use shades?

I don't think not marching in the parade will have any effect this time.

It didn't get him the UN security council, though. :shrug: Lol. If I can see the fact that Trump dislikes Trudeau - you think world leaders don't?

May I add that if Klobuchar has now stepped down as a candidate for Biden's running mate - and had urged Biden to choose a woman of colour - just imagine how that would also play up here in our country! Her platform is not extreme. It can be palatable to all Canadians. The liberals/socialists in Canada will be torn with angst. Will they deny this opportunity to a female, woman of colour? I bet they will look past other defining ideologies of liberalism and would latch on this. And......think about our diversed people of colour. Lewis will become the perfect role-model! We will win this.

I was given a warning for "excessive quoting." I only quoted Army Guy's OP! I was responding to it in general - didn't want to break it down. IMO, my point: the issue is past beyond all those issues that we normally care about. The issue ruling our world right now is what's explained in my response! Is that an offense now? Just for clarity - if I'm responding to it as a whole - how would you trim the OP that I quoted, Charles?
