Uhhhh.......are we equipped for war?

Biden and Trudeau are both using this for political points.
Perhaps hoping to distract from our broken healthcare, and setting up for a looming election.
For all we know - we're getting played!

Maybe, more ufos will come. I'm wondering if one of these ufo they shoot down would be carrying something like pathogens or deadly chemicals that will be released when shot down?

Mary Ng thinks saying "sorry" when caught, should be enough.
That's how Liberals think. Breach of Ethics is something they seem to specialized in.

I'd be surprised if Trump runs again, but if he does - I'm opting for .......................DeSantis.

I've discovered Lamott only in recent years thru youtube - her rendition of "Two For The Road."
She's died of cancer too, in 1995.

Genesis does not mention lesbianism.
In his Sermon on the Mount, if you read it not microscopically, but you take it in as a whole, what Christ is telling us is that we should live moral lives in modesty, and that judgement of our moral behavior is up to the Lord, not mankind. He tells us not to pray loudly at temple, or on the street corner, but instead to pray modestly, at home. Because our relationship to the Lord is between the individual and the Lord. It is not for governments to impose upon people.
Christ tells us not to divorce; don’t even have impure thoughts about another person. Those are the things that are inconvenient. Telling others how to live their lives is religion of convenience. There is the difference.
It doesn't have to mention homosexuality or lesbianism.
Understand the explanation - particularly the verses given.

Now, Betsy, we do have to quote the Bible in full honesty, not in little snippets. Let's put down the rest of the passage, ok?
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
If you accept Romans 1:26 as a prohibition of homosexuality and lesbianism, then you must also accept that fornication, covetousness, debate, pride, boasting, and being without understanding are all equally wicked sins, not more or less equally worthy of the death penalty.
But those things are not CONVENIENT! You see, what Romans 1:28 says? Most of us are not gay, so it is convenient to not be gay. I have never once in my life wanted to have same-gender sex. So of course it is convenient for me to call that a sin. It's easy! But we are not commanded to do what is convenient and easy; it says so right there. If we do not treat all the sins listed here as equally wrong, then we are not obeying the words.
These commandments are between each of us, individually, and the Lord. Tolerating the people who do these things is not a sin. If someone has premarital sex, we don't fire them from their job. We don't discriminate against them. We don't judge. If someone is prideful or boastful, we don't judge. That is the Lord's job.
The main basis for homosexuality is on Genesis. Read my post on page 1.
The rest are laws that are based from it.

No, I'd say your dentist is a loon.
She wasn't the only one who said that.
I actually asked from someone who works for a different dentists (clerk), a few weeks back. She said they don't accept any programs from the government.They must also be private.
I suppose, people have to search for dentists who honor the program. ?

I think you might be on to something there. However, the outcome would be poor for both the Liberals and the NDP. People are already very sick and tired of Singh's support of Trudeau, and are even more fed up with the current level of taxation and the economy in general. People want more autonomy where their money is concerned. It seems to be a universal shift toward conservatism. Look, for instance, at the newest governments of Europe.
Thus I think Singh will want to cut ties right away with the Liberals. He's most likely to create another red-line demand to give him that opportunity. He's gunning for the progressives who are disillusioned with Trudeau.
Though NDP will not become the government, I think Singh is hoping to regain what Layton had.

We might have an early election!
WHY? This is the best time for the NDP!
If you were Jagmeet Singh, and you know that the NDP is taking from the Liberals (and you're splitting the Liberals with the Conservatives)........wouldn't you take this opportunity to create an election?
If Singh waits longer, Trudeau might be able to recover - those disgusted with Trudeau right now might soften up again later on - and it'll be back between Conservatives vs Liberals.
-
Trudeau and Singh are both tone-deaf. Their priorities are really so faulty.
It's the CRUMBLING HEALTH CARE SYSTEM that needs URGENT FIXING!
Furthermore, I was just talking to the dentist. If that program kicks in, private dentists (like this one), wouldn't be part of it. Only government dental clinics will be accepting patients for that program.
Have you heard of any GOVERNMENT dental clinics? DO THEY EXIST?

Trudeau will testify in front of Committee regarding invoking the Emergencies Act. Pundits say he'll use this to attack Poilievre - linking him with the convoy - to try to stop PP's momentum.
-
Yesterday from Nanos - if election were held today Poilievre will win 108 seats, Trudeau (102), NDP (57), Green (2)
57 seats are too close to call.

It isn't about PP it's about what I want to see.
Actually I'm on the fence about him, in good part because such a hard-boiled conservative like yourself have said you're not voting for him.
If he can shake off the wingnuts who knows how well he might do. Unfortunately it looks like the nuts are cucking up to him just like I thought they would so...
You'll be back too I suspect.
Stick to the issue!
China seems to have "annexed" Canada to their mainland. That's not a speculation!

Lol - look how the Trudeau-lovers and Communist-leaning members are suddenly switching the channel.
They make it into Trump or Poilievre! ?

Standing up to China or any other dictatorship has always been a good idea. It's good to see conservatives taking about doing so but I'll be impressed when they start linking our business and trade to China's behavior.
I'd like to see the sort of plain language that Poilievre says he favours when it comes to the government articulating a more appropriate tone with China's governing regime.
Why is this about Poilievre?
Who's in charge of Canada? Who's the PM?
CHINA HAS ESTABLISHED ITSELF IN OUR MIDST - that means nothing to you?
To you - our sovereignty is freaking joke? Trying to muddle the issue?
Lol - are you a mole for China? ?
Are you so blinded by partisanship?

Here we go! Looks like whether they like it or not - lights will go out in Europe this winter!
EU should just kick themselves for being suckers to Russia!
Dramatic Images of Erupting Sea Emerge from Europe-Russia Nord Stream Pipeline ‘Leaks’
The Kremlin said on Tuesday that it cannot rule out “sabotage” as the cause of significant damage to the Nord Stream pipeline network that carries gas from Russia to Germany.
The same thought occurred to various European officials as they turned gimlet eyes upon Russia as a potential suspect.

Lol - was talking to a daycare provider, and I happened to mention the term, COVID. She rolled her eyes, and said...."we don't call it COVID anymore. Just the flu!"?
We've been hoaxed! they created a mountain out of a mole hill, so they can pass all sorts of things - and get people used to dole-outs from the government! They didn't count on it backfiring!

I stopped at double-jab! I've had side-effects!
