We can all argue about solutions, the point is at least acknowledging there's a problem.

Many on the rightwing deny climate change is even a thing, the ones that do denied it for decades, and many conservatives in the US also don't want to do anything about. Canada shouldn't destroy its economy, especially during an inflationary crisis, but they can do their part.

I never said the Democrats were socialists, I said they were becoming socially leftist. In other words, leftists in the social/cultural realm, like all the woke nonsense.

I don't agree with the OP. But Democrats used to be the center. Now the center has crept so far left over the last 10 years that the Democrats are now made of a lot of socially leftist types. Bill Maher, a centrist and typical 90's/2000's Democrat now looks conservative by comparison. The party of Bill Clinton and Barrack Obama has transformed, as has the party of Chretien and Martin. And much of the rightwing in America has crept further right, and a lot of the establishment GOP now look closer to center-right.

A lot of Canadians are big wet losers who don't have the stones to defend themselves, their country, their communities, or their culture. They roll over and take it while letting people convince them how evil they are. These are just narratives we tell ourselves. When toxic narratives reach mass appeal humans become weak and self-destructive. It's racist to say "all people from X race shouldn't be allowed to migrate to Canada". It's not racist to say "if you're poor, uneducated/unskilled, and can't speak an official language you're statistically much more likely to make this country worse off rather than better off and contributing to rising crime, poverty etc, regardless of your race or country of origin". The far-right are not a good solution for society, but neither are leftists, who belong to a suicidal death cult and are intent on destroying western civilization whether they realize it or not. Darwinism will render leftist societies to the dustbin of history. Given the hard right's take on climate change you can argue that they also belong to a suicidal death cult. So really, what i'm saying is that most of you are bunch of moronic fools intent on destroying yourselves via your own stupidity.

Well I said if incomes didn't go up a penny, which is probably not true, but they haven't kept pace.

They're fairly safe, but reported incidents doesn't list all incidents if some weren't reported.

GDP per capita doesn't really tell you anything about how the wealth is distributed. Middle class and lower class wages may not have gone up a penny who knows, and cost of living has gone up. If that were true, people would be getting poorer.

Atlantic Canada are Liberal supporters but are polling CPC now. They want those votes back

Equity?? You mean income equality?

I guess we have to hear what they said, and whether they were saying it loud enough to purposefully harass another passenger. Like if they talking about raping women to try to intimidate a female bus passenger, well that's not right.

Whenever I've disliked a thread of yours i've hit the button at the top right of the OP and hit the "report" button. I kid, I kid...

Hiding something sounds like

No, it doesn't strike me as odd that Hamas, a bunch of jihadist terrorists since the 1980's, are a bunch of dictator mafia thugs who immediately wiped out their political opposition. Hard to say if they'd still win an election, but they maybe should have thought about who they were before they elected them? Also, enough support for them to hear crowds cheering as rockets were launched from Gaza into israel at civilians 2 weeks ago:

I agree with the very wealthy and corporations paying more to workers and a higher % of our tax revenues. Not sure how that scheme would work, maybe tax credits. I don't think UBI should be "universal", as in anyone gets it for any reason, including just being too lazy to work. If AI means people legit can't find any job then sure we can support them financially.

It's probably more the NDP putting pressure on the Liberals for UBI.

I don't have a problem with UBI in this sense, as long as UBI continues to have qualifiers. It should be low enough to still provide enough incentive to work, and if you're healthy and simply refuse to work because you don't deserve society's support. Would feel no guilt even if those people starved to death since that was their choice. If you got laid off and can't find a job or you're sick etc then yes of course society should help you.

Hamas is not "Palestine", but Hamas is the governing party in power within Gaza. They were democratically elected in 2006 in Gaza: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_Palestinian_legislative_election I would not take any info from any Palestinian government authority, or Israeli government authority, on its own without evidence, especially during a war. The Palestinian Ministry of Health already lied about the hospital.

I have no doubt that there were many racist antisemites within the CPC during WWII, and likely more than in the Liberal Party. And I'd also wager the Liberal Party did more to support getting rid of racial discrimination like that than the CPC. Well this doesn't include how woke ideology defines a "social injustice" or their remedies for them. It is a disgustingly racist and sexist ideology, among other forms of discrimination, and fundamentally illiberal. Fun reading into the mind of the woke: https://www.penguin.co.uk/articles/2020/06/ibram-x-kendi-definition-of-antiracist I don't have an issue rejecting permanent residence of refugees in Canada based on their ideology for security reasons, such as Leninists/Maoists during the Cold War, or Islamic jihadists who advocate for Sharia Law. I wouldn't deny helping those refugees however, including temporary residence here before resettlement elsewhere. Allowing people to permanently settle in Canada who seek to politically overturn our entire system is not in our national interests. "Noses" are not a threat to our basic security and therefore totally irrelevant.

This is not correct. The Palestinian Ministry of Health is run by Hamas, who are the elected government party of Gaza, who are also a terrorist group, including as designated by our government: "In Gaza, 3,000 people have been killed and another 12,500 were injured, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health." https://abcnews.go.com/International/live-updates/israel-gaza-hamas/?id=103804516 "Health authorities in Gaza said prior to Tuesday's incident at least 3,000 people had been killed in Israel's 11 days of bombing since Hamas militants rampaged into Israeli towns on Oct. 7, killing more than 1,300 soldiers and civilians." https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/least-500-victims-israeli-air-strike-hospital-gaza-health-ministry-2023-10-17/ "In Gaza, the Health Ministry said Monday that Israeli airstrikes have killed at least 2,750 people and wounded at least 9,700." https://www.cbsnews.com/live-updates/israel-hamas-war-gaza-strip/ "Authorities in Gaza say at least 2,808 people have been killed so far by the Israeli strikes — a quarter of them children — and about 10,850 have been wounded." https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/west-bank-jordan-canadians-1.6997282

Society will be much better off when AI and robotics do all the work for us and we all get to sit on our fat arses and do nothing if we choose, which many will. What could go wrong?

No you mean better living up to their liberalism ideals, which means treating people the same regardless of race. Woke means treating people differently depending on their skin colour, which is anti-liberal.

That's right, why is the MSM reporting numbers provided by Hamas as if they have any credibility? The terrible misinformation reporting over the hospital incident is almost libelous. Journalists need to do their job better. As for the arrests reported by Al Jazeera, I don't trust reports from a media outlet owned by the monarchy of Qatar and numbers coming from "Palestinian officials", otherwise meaning Hamas, especially without evidence.

What are your sources for these numbers? The only sources for the civilian casualties I've heard in the MSM is from the Palestinian Health Ministry, which is controlled by Hamas.

If you support Hamas I want to see who you are. Out yourself in public please so I can use my free speech to call you a piece of crap. Hamas and Palestine are different things. But some protestors in Canada are on video protesting against the existence of Israel ("From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free"). Free speech anyways.
