I had a close friend of mine, a MAGA person, try to send me a chat. GPT as his argument for a position. It's kind of strange. It's not as strong as a cite but it's more holistic than just sending a bunch of disconnected links. In the end I would say sending an AI grab is like copying someone else's argument, but we care, and posting that.

I don't know why you went to Chat GPT. I would rather discuss with YOU. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/canada-supports-two-state-solution-stephen-harper-tells-benjamin-netanyahu-1.3004891 There's Harper talking about the issue. What's the solution if not two-state? What about occupied territories? Can a state invade and claim captured land ? Also, you're asking what is the sense of a two-state solution... But it has been supported by majorities on both sides and recent memory. Erin O'Toole here tacitly supports it but criticizes Carney's approach. https://x.com/erinotoole/status/1950750587336683691

I only made it to the second sentence. The NDP aren't close to Communist and they don't even support Nationalization. Let's just leave that side item. The US and Canada have traditionally supported two states including Conservatives. Politics did NOT start in 2016.

It's been the official policy of most centrist parties for a while.

1. The post has been updated by the time you saw it. 2. So if my profit margins fall from 200% to 100%, it's not worth doing business right?

Can you explain this one point with an example?

1. Yes and no. Centrist neoliberal politics did cause the demand for immigration, globalization etc. And for sure Canada was ahead of the pack in terms of pursuing aggressive immigration numbers. But a lot of other factors are involved, and I doubt the problem would have been significantly better if Harper had stayed on. And we're speculating so.. 2. Less profit means not enough capital? 3. I will read your post.. .

You missed the post where the op acknowledged the error.

You may have inadvertently made a point though. Why were people grumbling about the economy when growth rates were high? The answer to this explains why Trump won, and why the crown sits heavily on his head.

Yes, I have come to recognize that you like to use wordplay as a substitute for substantive discussion. I find it dull so I don't engage with it. You had some points about the report, but I found it unclear: it said that children who are referred had a lower suicide rate. As I've said, I'm more concerned with the public sphere. Politicians should not put themselves above science and medicine.

The downsides are described in your own link.

Nothing. I'm trolling.... I am however glad that he's enjoying himself. Any ex-PM deserves a little bit of thanks... especially Kim Campbell

I liked that they deferred to experts in the field but it was poor leadership to veto the findings.

This should finally put a rest to the question of whether Trudeau was good for Canada or not: https://toronto.citynews.ca/2025/07/29/justin-trudeau-katy-perry-montreal-date/ "Montreal got a dose of Hollywood sparkle this week, as former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was reportedly seen sharing a date night with pop star Katy Perry. According to TMZ, the pair stopped by Montreal restaurant, Le Violon, on Monday night to share a meal together." Eat it haters ! 😇

Small 'd' democratic... interesting. I was following up on this: "chasing an elusive version of what you do." My problem with these issues is that they're agreed upon as priorities for "the" public. I DO think that voting against what you don't want is valid. I think the Canadian case against immigration is more broadly supported. But my presence on these boards usually brings me to questions related to the public sphere. As such, I'm always kind of above the fray. Cheers...

Right, but you are one of the few here who are against Trump and supporting this person's right to free express themselves. I am more onside with you on this. In all, I think this dofus should have stayed home. He has legal recourse, ie. to sue the city of Montreal when he gets back to the states LOL. I'm sure the Quebec judge will love this guy...

How is the American dream "elusive"? Something called The pursuit of happiness in the declaration of Independence: https://lsd.law/define/pursuit-of-happiness It's about doing what you like without the government getting in the way. A discussion on how to do that depends on a healthy public sphere.

Au contraire. That's why I'm laughing actually.

Are you actually asking for a principled response to Trump? 😂

The UK situation is different though. It will be a 7.5% cut in price for UK consumers.

1. Not an answer. 2. Insult. Anyway, the tariff WAS 10% from what I have seen. So a 7.5% price cut is going to be a boon to the American worker ? I don't think it's going to mean much, myself.

You think that this will have an impact? What were the tariffs on us cars before this?

Hmm ?

I don't see how this deal will mean anything to the average American.
