How do they replace Biden, the expected nominee people have cast ballots for in primaries across the country? Does the party have to redo the votes if he pulls his hat out? Not sure the party rules there. Usually there's debates before the primaries etc, people have a long time to decide. Biden being the presumptive nominee means those debates just haven't gone on. Maybe people who would have run didn't bother. It's July already. A nominee gets a lot of momentum for public support during the 1 to 1.5 years before the general election. A fast process isn't going to help the Democrats.

Biden and Trump might be the 2 worst nominated candidates in my lifetime, maybe ever. Frightening.

The title of this thread is a lie. Your own article says they're considering asking Biden to step down. This is different than outright not accepting ballot results from the public. What should disturb everyone more is the fact that the Democrats have been trying to convince everyone for a long time that Biden is mentally fit to serve when clearly he's not. Suppressing or manipulating the truth from the public is anti-democratic. I've even seen pro-Biden folks on message boards like this try to convince me that Trump has just as much or more cognitive decline than Biden, which has always been ridiculous. Trump being an autocratic dictator isn't an excuse to make up lies about him either.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

It's Oklahoma.

Now you've moved the goalposts from "living memory" to "intergenerational trauma" to fit a specific victim narrative while invalidating another. So then what is the intergenerational trauma of Jewish families fleeing from their native and religious homelands to a new continent where they're ethnic minorities and generation after generation are harassed, discriminated against, assaulted, murdered, and culminating in genocidal extermination, families ripped apart, living in concentration camps, and then fleeing Europe for their lives again where nowhere in the world is seemingly safe from antisemitism? And then when the UN grants them the ability to return to their indigenous lands because of this they're attacked constantly for 80 years and completely surrounded by countries filled with a lot of people and leaders who want to genocide them again.

I can't imagine CNN not wanting the ratings feast for these debates. For the next debate, if Biden was given a car, a map, and directions from his hotel to the TV studio I really don't think he'd be able to find it.

I didn't say residential schools, I said land claims, which is what we're talking about with Israel. If Britain and France colonized most of North America and stole land from the natives then the Muslim Caliphate empire invaded and colonized Israel/Palestine. What's the difference? And where do you draw the line? You just said the line is "living memory". That means most any native land claim not already specified in a legal treaty is void.

On the one hand you may be right. On the other hand, would you or others say this about indigenous land claims? Israel isn't just your typical dispute about borders. Jews were being annihilated in Europe. There was really no place on earth safe for them and they had zero self determination anywhere. At least natives have reserves that they govern on their traditional territory. Anyways, Israelis will never leave Israel voluntarily so it's irrelevant. Palestinians are the ones who have always rejected any 2-state solution for the last 80 years.

Hunter Biden for POTUS 2024.

Wonder how much stolen IP is invoiced in their EVs. Then sold back to us at a cheaper price because no R&D costs.

If any of them had any honour they'd donate their pension to the Royal Canadian Legion or something.

Politicians have been able to be influenced by the highest bidder in the US and Canada probably since forever. In the US its just more open and home to much more powerful corporations who have access to much more powerful politicians. The difference now is that the highest bidder is now more frequently becoming nefarious countries like China and India etc. I think our government has generally become more apathetic too. When you have it pretty good for so long people put their guard down and lose their reasons to care. The state of our military is a good example.

What do you mean?

All Chinese-made technology products (hardware or software) that can connect to the internet or a network (satellites etc) should be banned from the country. This includes any EVs with such capabilities. The West probably should have never traded so much with the country in the first place.

If they aren't citizens yet, absolutely. If they are citizens, charge them with a crime, and restore the length to acquire citizenship under the Harper gov and remove dual citizenship. If the terrorist group in question is at war with Canada, strip them of their citizenship for breaking their Oath of Citizenship and deport them. Trudeau's "a Canadian is a Canadian" line is nonsense. If you support Canada's enemies you're not a Canadian, you're an enemy of Canada and you're living here for your own economic or other convenience. Our country is led by cowardly and submissive guilt-ridden individuals who would rather pander to immigrants for votes and politically correct PR than stand up for our country's security.

Overall that very well may be true. Certain classes of immigrants are brought in for your their education and skills, others aren't screened for that for humanitarian reasons. We can't stereotype "immigrants" economically or in terms of crime because there's a huge range there.

Some of this does have to do with countries/cultures/conditions people come from and lived within. These learned adaptations aren't automatically deleted when they cross an invisible line. Countries that are less stable and have weaker rule of law and political institutions tend to be poorer and more violent.

Poorer people with low incomes commit crime at a higher rate at the general population level. This is true regardless of ethnicity, including poor white people born in North America. Many refugees are poor with low incomes in western countries for various reasons (education, skills, including language skills). Therefore, refugees (or their children etc) at the general level commit crime at higher rates than the general population. Note: not all refugees are uneducated or commit crime, and therefore shouldn't all be stereotyped as such. The areas of highest crime and violence in my city tend are the poorer areas, dominated by low income immigrants, including many refugees. Certain areas of my city have become less safe because of this. Anecdotally, I have witnessed some of this violence first-hand, including 2 gun murders and 1 attempted murder. I never saw this in the same city growing up. As a citizen this concerns me. There seems to be similar problems with some refugees in other western countries. I have little knowledge of certain stories recently circulated in the media so I can't comment there. But i'm also not interested in ignoring discussing a problem in the name of humanitarianism or because it offends some people. Issues can't be addressed by ignoring them.

Aristotle said that every virtue, when taken to an extreme, becomes a vice. Even tolerance. A lot of Canadians, especially in or near the Vancouver area of BC, would be well to learn that.

"Global News has learned the suspect was recently released from custody after an earlier arrest and had a lengthy and violent criminal history." Canada should change its name to "Milquetoast". BC can change its name to "British Milquetoast"

You're right. Though the SPLC designates everyone as a "hate group".

Because I'm nude and gay. Jk. Well for one, in your neck of the woods: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanlan's_Point_Beach "As is common for most public nudist-friendly venues, males make up a large percentage of the users of the beach, but women can make up to one quarter of the total on popular weekends. Recent years continue to see an increase in the number of families who attend. The beach is a popular destination for the city's gay community."

The gay dudes arent just there to work on their tan, so no they aren't unlike the others.

Problem is nude beaches in North America are often filled with perverts, exhibitionists, pedophiles, and sometimes a lot of gay men.
