You don't reward a terrorist attack with political gains, especially statehood. Palestinians should have statehood somebody hopefully but Hamas needs to prove they won't use the rights of statehood to arm to attack Israel. Arabs have been trying to enforce "from the river to the sea" policy since 1948. They attacked in 1948, 1956, 1967, 1973, and Hamas and other jihadists have been launching terrorist attacks continually at Israeli civilians for the last 20+ years. Give Palestinians a pathway to peace and statehood. Tell them if they stop the terrorism they can earn statehood. If terrorists keep attacking and Gazans don't like that it's their responsibility to defeat the terrorists internally if they don't want Israel to do it. Palestinians are the ones who democratically elected Hamas in the first place.

No, his diet is mostly meat and some vegetables, which is what a lot of predator mammals eat. As opposed to white flour and the like. You've been explained this before but would rather create strawmen to insult the man. A more balanced diet is more healthy IMO but he also has an autoimmune disorder along with his daughter so he's very sensitive to some foods and can't tolerate them without getting ill. I remember him explaining his diet, I don't remember him saying everyone should do this.

Putin and Trump share the same political enemies: the Obama admin (Obama, Hillary, and Biden etc.). I think that's what brought them together first during 2015-16 campaign. Putin was willing to help Trump defeat their mutual enemies. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend". Putin is also domineering bully like Trump, they have mutual respect and a lot in common. Bff's.

Abolishing money doesn't build more homes. Price is determined by a simple math formula: # of people vs # of homes. Supply and demand = price. If you increase demand every year and the supply of homes can't keep up the prices of homes will continue to go up. If people start buying up homes as investment properties too because they see these housing price increases as a good investment with no financial disincentive to do so it will just increase the demand even more and make the problem even worse.

Either that or their corporate masters want it because more consumers mean more consumption. But how is it helping regular Canadians? [Quote]There was never a good economic argument for upping the limit and plenty of evidence why it could be bad (especially with housing shortages and inflation spiking), and still with opinions souring more and more, Trudeau just plows ahead. This is an election-losing issue all by itself, and I think it's only going to get worse for the Liberals here. The policy has no future, Canadians obviously don't want it, so why else keep it?[/quote] Yup. There's obviously a reason and I don't trust them at all for it to not be a self serving one, especially if its hurting them in the polls.

Pretty sure 98% of corporate America and their lobbyists don't want a war with a huge trading partner of the US like China which would bugger the US economy big time.

Decadence. You probably mean leftism, not liberalism. Leftism is really but a side effect of decadence. Leftism is just as destructive as conservatism can be, maybe even more so, because its goal is to destroy hierarchies, which means destroying the strong to make everyone more "equal", while also often coddling people and making them weaker at the same time, instead of empowering them. The goal of our society seems to be "comfort", which is a terrible one. Parents are raising ever-increasing generations of spoiled, entitled, coddled, and selfish people. We used to be raised to be responsible, hardworking, and independent. Oops. Side effect of decadence: we're too well-off for our own good. A society of ever-increasing weak people and led by weak people will inevitably decline and become dominated by other civilizations and we're seeing it play out. The West didn't become the most wealthy and powerful civilization in the world by embracing weakness. The only cure might be economic hardship to force people out of their comfort. The decline needs to happen before the civilization itself is extinct.

OP post of the year 2024 so far LOL.

Yeah Canada is ready to defend themselves against Russia and China for sure LOL

Huh? Cite?

It's the dumbest phrase ever.

Trudeau is socially leftist. And a corrupt neoliberal sure, his party usually does what their masters want.

Hamas hides amongst civilians and uses them as human shields. The cowards are just as responsible for their deaths.

Yes

A giant angry mob storming the Capitol at the same time when the election was being confirmed was just enthusiastic tourists really.

States should be able to do whatever they want in that regard. If the voters don't like it then they can vote out the incumbent politicians of the state. WTH business is it of the POTUS what healthcare California gives out?

Ted Cruz was indeed born in Canada. In Calgary, which is shocking.

Immigrants don't commit crimes, poor people do, especially poor people from countries with a lot of crime and violence and lack of rule of law due to the poverty of the country. Doctors from the middle east aren't committing many crimes when they move here and neither are their children. The biggest reason people are typically poor is because they're aren't well educated. Import poor people and a disproportionate # of them will commit crimes compared to the Canadian average.

Uh what? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_shootings_at_Parliament_Hill,_Ottawa

Now do refugees.

If you're in favor of starting that terrible precedent don't complain when the Republicans get in control again and do the same or worse.

This is exactly what happened to Canada but under a left-leaning Supreme Court. Judges who legislate rather than applying the law as written are not fit to hold office. They're politicians and activists, not legal experts. So really, how we feel about our highest courts only depends on our ideological biases. Left-leaning posters are going to disagree with my first sentence, thus proving my point. Fear these kinds of people. They all just want power. Thank you for immediately proving my point 😂. You're an authoritarian not much different than Trump and don't believe in democracy.

Punch myself in the face looking at that list.

I think it probably makes him PO'd that people say he can't joke about a certain topic, so he keeps doing it to thumb his nose. If you personally don't find it funny well that's just personal preference.

No I meant Chapelle.
