Operation Warp Speed is a bit vague. Should have called it Operation Arm Jab.

Andrew Jackson = Donald Trump

Pretty good argument. -
Some places in Toronto are multicultural. I don't know of any ethnic downtown condo buildings for instance. In GTA the enclaves seem to increase as you go to the suburbs, and the newer suburbs seems to be more segregated. Mississauga is more multicultural than Brampton, same with Scarborough vs Markham. We're getting less "melting pot" it seems. There's also lots of 2nd and 3rd generation Italian-Canadians in Vaughan. You will of course deny everything i've said.

Well luckily there's nothing suspicious at all about the timing of this announcement, less than 2 days after Biden won the election. Because as we all know, drug companies make big discoveries at 6am on a Monday morning a few hours before most people show up to work and markets open.

What matters is loyalty/allegiance. What matters is that if there is a confrontation between China and Canada, Canadian citizens choose Canada. It is expected that people from a foreign culture still have identity wrapped in that culture. The priority should be in defending the polity known as Canada and what it stands for.

I don't agree with that, because you don't know that. Some people embrace their new country while some people's hearts never leave their old country. The problem is our system doesn't seem to care either way. What I would do as PM is end dual citizenship, make citizenship a bit stricter, and take a lot more care in making sure naturalized Canadians had sole allegiance to Canada. Not to mention trying to forge a stronger national identity we could all embrace together. This would also foster a lot more "trust" between immigrants and Canadian-born. People resent "Canadians of convenience" with dual loyalties. If there's a war, every Canadian should be on Canada's side. The cucks in Ottawa are too busy trying to be nice to everyone to demand anything from them.

Cultures are mixing more than ever, and it's complex. US-made movies are being viewed more in China, for instance, and as a result big US movie studios are catering to that audience and those governments. You also have more and more movies of non-western origin (ie: Bollywood) showing up on Canadian Netflix, or Hockey Night in Punjabi. It's just capitalism responding to changing market demand. In terms of Canadian demographics, they're changing. In 30 years most of the baby boomers will be dead and replaced largely with East Asian and South Asian migrants. This obviously comes with cultural change. These are the facts, everyone is free to think about them as they please. Trudeau favours a post-national state, Maxime Bernier seems to want the opposite, and most Canadians probably fall between the 2. Quebec would probably not approve lol.

The road to 2020

Polls don't predict turnout. -

The sunset of human civilization continues, the winner of this election changes little. Just a footnote for those who like to keep score at home. -
The fact is, if you left white people alone they'd go extinct. They're having babies at below replacement levels, and have for decades. It's the same for most of the young non-white immigrants who come to Canada. When more and more people aren't having kids, and the ones that do typically don't have more than 2, well then you're in a bit of a spot. If this is caused by anyone, it's caused by people born in Canada. 420k+ per year is a lot. The Liberals have increased immigration by around a third. They'll keep increasing it. Youth registrations in hockey, little league, swimming etc. are on the decline. Registrations in soccer and basketball keep going up. The country is changing.

Kind of, but a bit different. al-Qaeda had/has a central leadership and command, but also a very loose international network of people working "in their name" like antifa that don't have to take orders and can do their own thing.
-
Yes far-left elements, including people within BLM, antifa, and anarchist groups, have caused a lot of crime. There's little centralized cohesion or organization in these groups is what I mean. Usually its just a bunch of smaller local sects planning stuff in their city. I agree that the violence by these groups needs to end. But a lot of that is also up to cities, not only the feds who may not have the jurisdiction.
-
But antifa is basically an idea, or set ideas. It's more of a movement than a cohesive group. You can ban the group, label them a terrorist organization, but it won't get rid of the ideas that members of antifa believe. Antifa is also not a centralized group or one that can be easily generalized, similar to BLM. Both involve peaceful protestors, and violent protestors. Antifa is basically a far-left resistance movement to what they see as racism and neo-fascism and alt-right stuff. So I condemn most of not all of the violence they do, but i have nothing wrong with the video Shady posted of the antifa dude cussing out the Portland mayor. He's exercising his right to free speech.

America under President Trump
Moonlight Graham replied to betsy's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
At least he puts his money (and life) where his mouth is. Darwinism...adapt or die. 210k and counting. Freedom from King George is one thing, a virus doesn't care about our freedom. Its raison d'etre is to eat your lungs until you're dead and move on to the next host. The flu is back every year, because it has genetically evolved from the flu season prior. Adapt or die. -

CNN told me he was almost dead and to be replaced by robo-Pence. -

1. That wasn't the evidence I presented. 2. Polling is a tool and it has its uses but it doesn't accurately predict the future in tight races. https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/11/09/why-2016-election-polls-missed-their-mark/ -

Having faith in something and ignoring evidence to the contrary is anti-science. If you have faith in the accurate predicting power of US battleground polling then have fun at church. -

Some of the 2016 battleground state polling, even averages of the all polls, missed by 6 points. Some individual polls missed by 9 or 10 points. These are far beyond the margin of error. The margin of error is BS. When these are close battleground states and 2 or 3 points can decide an election the polls don't mean a lot. One CNN poll had Trump leading Nevada by 6 points and Clinton won it by 2.5 points. That's an error of 8.5 points! One Loras poll had Clinton up by 1 point and Trump won by 9.5, that's 10.5 points!! https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/2016StateFinalResults.html
