A Trumpster. Someone who actively likes Donald Trump and enthusiastically wants him to be POTUS. Not just someone who has who major problems with the guy but votes for them as the least worst of 2 bad options.

LOL you're a troll. Trump 2028!

Someone voting Trump and a Trump supporter are 2 different things. Huh?

Trump supporter talking to me about reason, ethics, and values LOL

No. There's a difference between someone who voted for Trump and an avid Trump supporter. What i'm saying is that i'm correct on all issues because of my giant brain and therefore anyone to the left or right of me is insane by default.

The Trumpsters and lefty loons hate me. This is how I know i'm on the right track.

I'm anti-woke generally.

Dunno. Guess it needs to go to court. But rape cases can be tough to convict.

This is what i've been told by hunters. Bows are even worse. If you're hitting an animal in the butt because the accuracy isn't easy and its able to run away and not be tracked down that's not very ethical. This is what i've been told. I have no issues with hunting in general, hunting and fishing is a more ethical way to acquire meat than a lot of the types of meat we get at the grocery store.

Woke has nothing to do with climate change. Woke is based on group identity politics. Wikipedia defines it as: "...refer[ing] to a broader awareness of social inequalities such as racial injustice, sexism, and denial of LGBT rights." So when you're making e.g. hiring decisions not based on merit but on trying to help "fix" racial or gender inequalities then that policy is described as "woke". The people who don't like the label just don't like those policies/decisions being criticized because the label is usually used in a derogatory sense. If people want to keep making (IMO largely cringe-worthy) decisions based on the "woke" precepts they themselves invented and/or are pushing then I see no reason why their own label shouldn't be used to describe these decisions.

If you're going to kill an animal or a person then do it quickly. I have hunter friends and family members who use rifles and have found arrows from other hunters lodged in deer, including one who found a deer with in arrow in its skull. Killing animals shouldn't be for sport. You kill it to eat it.

Crossbows are unethical weapons.

Your gun laws are garbage. Your health insurance regulations are garbage. The results speak for themselves. Your post-secondary education system is a joke. So much of it is for profit charging kids/families out the nose and they're in debt for decades. Nobody in Canada has to worry much about college debt. The best universities in the country have sub-10k annual tuition. You've never experienced anything else so its normal to you. Your country's laws are highly controlled by wealthy corporation donors who just want to make money.

The government needs to regulate health insurance companies so that morally absent corporations are forced to act in an ethical manner. The US is deficient in regulations etc for gun control, health insurance, and post-secondary education costs.

The CBC should just buy stories from the Canadian Press and leave it at that. Just report the news. The 2 top stories on CBC News at this very moment are 2 articles critical of Israel written by an Arab CBC reporter, one of the article calling what's happening in Gaza "genocide". https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/amnesty-international-report-israel-genocide-1.7401842 https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/gaza-mawasi-tent-camp-strike-israel-1.7402036 Uhh maybe it would be a good idea to have your reporters on the Israel/Palestine conflict not Jewish or Arab? Ya think???

And yet did you EVER hear Rex be allowed to voice any rightwing opinions on the CBC? I can't recall any. And it certainly wasn't anything like what he wrote for the National Post. So you just proved the journalist's point. On the CBC go find any mention of negative side effects beyond a sore arm (i had some after both primary shots, but none on the boosters) or any quote of a doctor showing anything other than positive things about the vaccine. We live in a world where saying ANYTHING possibly bad or cautionary about any vaccine, even from doctors or scientists, is "rightwing". That's insane. The same is true when pushing back against any climate change claims. This doesn't mean vaccine don't generally work or that man-made climate change isn't real. We need to stop politicizing science. Science is not based on "belief" or "ideology", its based on evidence.

I don't see any here. There's more on the other board actually, i can name 2 or 3. Just a few chuds here, but that's nothing new lol Bluesky will get bots and trolls if it gets any steam. Is X or MLW toxic...or are anonymous people on the internet?

That explains why Carlson is a conservative.

I support LGBT and Pride events. I don't support the government telling every city council or mayor they have to fly flags for X or Y causes. Same with crosswalks. That's up to each the city.

Yeah but progressives are leaving twitter for Bluesky, and many left MLW for the other forum. This is highly divisive and unhelpful. Silos and echo chambers are bad. Musk is an arse, but i do think the platform itself is more politically neutral than before. His tweets would have existed whether or not he owned the platform (unless the old owners banned him LOL).

That theory has clearly been debunked, in fact it was almost immediately by the author's former professor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clash_of_Civilizations

Who the heck would fine a town for not flying a Canadian flag on Canada Day? That's insane. If the residents don't like it they'll vote the mayor out.

The story in the OP is unbelievable. Forcing activist flags on a polity is insane. Doug Ford should abolish the human rights commission and those fake courts run by non-judges.

The page is titled "Teaching about Palestine" and "Nov 29 is the UN International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. Some useful vocabulary:". They don't even bother to label Hamas a terrorist group (as defined by Canadian law) or mention the word "terrorism/terrorist", and they define "islamophobia" but not "antisemitism". This topic is a hornet's nest for the board admin, I have no idea why they want to be touching it, especially in an elementary school given somebody's especially some parent is going to get offended.

Post-national state. Canada is just a place to hang your hat now. Nobody is signing up to serve in our military anymore. Why defend something you have weak attachment to, or know little about? It's the Liberal way. Canadians see Americans as smug and overly patriotic, which they sometimes can be, and so Canadians kneejerk and want to be the opposite. "Nationalism" and "patriotism" become a dirty word. It's an over-correction and poorly thought out, like many liberal sentiments.
