The moment you enter a store, it's already known you will very likely be recorded.
Not sure what laws could do to stop this.
Make it illegal and require an opt in with option to opt out

I disagree.
If we cannot calm ourselves and keep on fighting each other, we would not notice or care even if it is foreign.
Arguments on twitter aren't infiltrating the offices of our MP's to influence policy or rigging the outcomes of elections in some ridings.

We are losing our Country to political infighting.
When we hate and $hit on each other we do not see what the rest of the world is doing.
Foreign interference is a much bigger threat to our country than the usual political squabbling.

We should be asking where these issues originate from.
I assume because trans people want rights to enter bathrooms and we're debating it.

2. I don't give a F about bathroom laws. They're stupid IMO. I wait outside the bathroom when my people are in there. I also live in a city, where you have to deal with a lot...
Should cis males be able to enter and use women's bathrooms? Should we have laws against that?

Trudeau is saying PP is "attacking" trans people for answering a question? LOL.

Do they? How do they know? Do the schools tell parents they're gonna have Trannie Storytime?
I actually don't know...do they?
The question is whether public owned libraries should be used for story time with drag queens. I don't care if it's done in private. I think it's not age-appropriate to do it in our public owned libraries. Drag is a sex fetish essentially. No issue with that but not appropriate or even understandable for young kids. Can be discussed among teens in sex ed

1. You can have your kids excused from this education anytime.
Should parents have right to consent and right to opt out of the education? I think so.

1. "Allow" is a strong word. Why not "tolerate"? I would say that anything that makes happiness and peace more viable is a good idea. I'm morally against hunting but I would never be so presumptive as to deny the 5% of licensed gun owners the right to do it.
2. Good. Not going to watch your video.
3. Parents have the right to send their kids to drag queen story hour. You don't have a right to force them not to.
4. Nothing says LARP more than a MAGA in camo spouting off...
1. The problem is when rights collide, like trans use of bathrooms vs biological women wanting their own bathroom space to feel safe. I get why trans women want to use women's bathrooms, and why some women feel unsafe alone with a 6'3 220 lbs biological man who is a trans woman in the bathroom or change room. No easy answers there.
Problem also occurs when talking about minors, who need to be protected from some harms. Should parents be able to give their 10 years alcohol to the point of drunkenness?
As an aside, hunting is by far the most ethical way to obtain meat from land animals, compared to e.g. farms and grocery store meat. Many don't like participating in the violence and firearms though.
2. You might want to, it shows where rights go over the line.
3. I'm ok with it, but what if it is clearly sexual like the trans women doing very sexual stripper moves in front of small children like in the posted video? I think that's over the line and some kind of child abuse.
4 hours ago, Michael Hardner said:Conceptually, we are talking about some individuals making a small sacrifice for the benefit of the whole. While I believe this to be unnecessary in this case, I do agree with the concept.
For example, if people let go of the idea of gender being dependent on biology only, we can allow more individuality and foster more general happiness.
What if it makes cis women unhappy re: sports, and changerooms? It's a conflict in rights now. No matter what is decided one vulnerable group will be happy and the other group will be unhappy.

Liberals are polling at 23%, and 20% for NDP, and 40% for CPC. At this point the Liberals are fighting for official opposition status in next election.
Trudeau just needs to resign for the good of his party and the country.

People who draw comparisons between Trudeau and Putin are being lazy thinkers, in my estimation. Acknowledging that Putin is "much worse" is a pretty flimsy qualification whilst trying to say they're similar.
"Yeah, like, Putin's critics all fall out of balconies, get shot on the streets, die of nerve agent and radioactive poisons, or their plans hit the ground prematurely, but Justin Trudeau demoted JWR from her cabinet position!"
Oooof.
They have similarities and differences, which I outlined. What is the problem in understanding that exactly? Trudeau doesn't commit violence against political opponents. He is a corrupt bully who punishes dissent.
Trudeau unethically pressured the AG to get a corporation in the city of his riding off the hook legally, and when she wouldn't do it he punished her with demotion and replaced her, then when she blew the whistle he spearheaded the effort to get her kicked out of the party, then lied about it. Are the Russian oligarchs treated much differently?

It's not even a push to silence dissenting voices. It was a push to move out nuisances. Nobody from the Freedumb convoy was silenced. Tamara Lich is still yap yap yapping away. Alexander Navalny is dead. That you're even trying to draw the comparison is pathetic.
The other controls the media, has near-absolute power, and murders and jails anyone who dissents. In Canada, we have a dopey mop-head who has no idea what he's doing, and who goofed up spectacularly. He doesn't have more control after the Emergencies Act. He has less.
Trudeau is not Putin. He doesn't murder political opponents. But Trudeau isn't an ethical politician, he did hardly anything against Chinese election interference that benefited his power until it went public and then he tried to block any investigation, his punishment of JWR's whistleblowing of his own corruption was abhorrent, the minor crimes the freedom convoy committed (illegally parking in the street, noise nuisances, blocking a bridge) does not legitimize his abuse of power by using the Emergencies Act.
Putin is much worse than Trudeau, but they're both power-hungry and controlling narcissists who punish dissent and don't respect democracy. They lie constantly and don't want to be held accountable for anything. People who generally support either of them are crappy people in my estimation.

Putin jails his political opponents - and then, he kills them. This is Iran; North Korea. So why do some Conservatives tacitly admire him? ("genius": and the resounding silence). Why wouldn't they want to stand up to him?
Astounding. Perplexing. And shameful. There are no words that can explain and excuse this. Disgusting too.
It's not perplexing. They're sheep.

It's a fact that Russian disinformation campaigns etc tried to sway people to vote Trump over Clinton and Biden. You think that makes Trump upset?

The people that defend Putin have been manipulated by Trump and the pro-Trump media pundits to support him, even though he's been aggressively anti-West for decades.
Trump likes him because Putin helped get him elected and they're both narcissistic domineering bullies.

What issue, that we have less freedom? Fu ck off, you're completely full of shit.
We have way more now than we did under Conservatives, as evidenced by the end of prohibition.
Thousands upon thousands of Canadians have been prevented from receiving criminal convictions for cannabis.
Don't forget freedom to live in a tent, freedom to wait a super long time to access healthcare, freedom to commit crimes with lesser sentences, freedom to have your phone's location secretly tracked by the government during COVID without your consent or knowledge, freedom to be coerced into getting vaccines you don't want by the government, and freedom for China to interfere in our elections etc
But yeah, marijuana

There's a lot about the UN that is really dysfunctional and corrupt, which is sad. I imagine this is why Stephen Harper didn't seem to be much of a fan. When most countries in the world are 3rd world autocracies run by crooked dictators it makes things a lot harder.

That is the point where he will learn the difference between "politics" and "governance."
Politics is a sport and Canadians have historically been very good at it. Politics is supposed to be fun and it is important to always keep in mind that the rigour of democracy depends on not taking politics too seriously.
Governance is serious business requiring an ability to build a team that is able to balance opposing visions and pressures. Every decision the team makes will have a negative impact on a segment of the population. It is especially intense for the PM and his family. There is a whole industry in place to find everything they can to embarass the PM including anything his children, spouse or extended family do or don't do.
Currently, Pierre has the best job in Parliament. Being Leader of His Majesty's Loyal Opposition is fun. You can say anything, promise anything and there are no consequences. If I were Pierre, I think I would consider keeping Justin in office as long as possible. The Prime Minister is a wealth of good material for Mr. Poilievre and the PM gets all the headaches and none of the fun.
After the next election, Mr. Poilievre will form a government that will have a deficit he is committed to address while the continuing crisis in Europe will present pressure to increase the Defence budget and having to re-build the defence procurement infrastructure. Then there is climate change. After all of his rhetoric, he will have to do some serious balancing of conflicting forces. All of that will mean greater spending. On top of everything, there will be a new Administration in Washington with a strong possibility of a hostile Congress.
Have pity on the man and his family. They will need all the luck they can get.
Totally agree that it's much easier to sit and criticize, and much harder to actually manage a country and come up with good solutions and implement them yourself.

You ,me, the average Canadian can blame them all we want in what is supposedly a democracy.
Makes zero difference.
Well somebody voted the Liberals in 3 elections in a row.

Your OP is a lie and clear misinformation, even according to your own article you posted that you didn't even bother to read:
[Quote]He didn't offer further explanation, and his office quickly followed up with a clarifying statement asserting that the Tories don't believe in the imposition of a digital ID.[/quote]
