Facebook should not only face fines, but also be punitively ordered to compensate all facebook members!
Make an example of Facebook!

With just a few cents more per liter at the gas pump, people are already cranky in BC? Lol. They say it could still go up. Embrace it!
Just love it that prices are starting to soar.......
QuoteKris Sims, the B.C. director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, said when filling up a typical Toyota Camry sedan, $5.99 will now go toward the carbon tax. More than $10 will go toward the tax to fill up a pickup truck, she added.
And when it comes to the larger tractor trailers that transport the food and supplies most of us rely on, more than $45 of the cost of a diesel fill-up will go toward the tax.
“So it’s just an astounding amount of money when you start to add this up,” she told CTV News Channel on Monday.
Sims said she supports initiatives to create cleaner air, but only if ordinary residents are not made to suffer.
“The idea of amping up the carbon tax to the point where it punishes people so much that they can’t run a business and they can’t drive around, we have to ask ourselves: what kind of an economy and society will that be?”

It's a tax grab. This is how Trudeau will bankroll all his reckless spendings.
Food, and anything else that uses transportation will go up in prices, too!

Golan Heights new community might be named after Trump! That's the plan.
Quote“All Israelis were deeply moved when President Trump made his historic decision,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a video statement made on the Golan.
He added that, after the Jewish Passover festival, he would “bring to the government a resolution calling for a new community on the Golan Heights named after President Donald J. Trump.”

Did your church give equal time in prayer for the people shot in NZ?
-
I don't know. I don't go to church regularly.
But that's not the point. We're talking about media coverage - especially the CBC, which is taxpayer's funded!
I'm pointing out the stupidity of over-coverage! Why do these media give us endless coverage (like the Humboldt) - for crying out loud! Now, they even cover the memorial service for its anniversary! Does it matter how people get killed?
But of course, we can't help but see the political point of covering Muslims that get murdered (through terrorism), and yet don't give the same airtime to others (particularly Christians). That's the bias I'm talking about.
If you're going to take my status off-topic, you'll get deleted.

Some people really, really like the power of having a delete button.

Trudeau-supporting media trying to break up Conservative Alliance of Premiers by pitting one against the other?

Liberals writing off billion worth of loan to Chrysler, without details or any explanation!
CRA also written off 133 million tax debt by a single taxpayer. Won't reveal who.

Calling conservatives "White supremacists," is beginning to sound like Hillary's "deplorable."

If most conservatives aren’t white supremacists, then how would so-called dog whistles rally support?
-
Actually, it's pundits (journalists) who made that observation (Liberals trying to tie up conservatives (like Scheer) to white supremacists - I think it was on CTV Power Play - saying that it's starting to sound like: Hillary's deplorables.
One said people are not buying into it. They say it could backfire against the Liberals. Journalists must be seeing some negative reaction from the public.

Only the most backward of voters would actually believe it

It's raining bricks on Trudeau's head.
Sunnyways is gone! Talk about climate change. lol.

Russian interference/Wikileaks - the motivating factor was the desire to see Hillary Clinton defeated more than having Trump elected! Big difference! No matter who ran against her - Russia would try to get her out! Clinton has made a personal enemy of Putin!
Putin must've been having the biggest laugh that fateful election night!
