Realize who many of these protestors are and what they believe. Most don't want peace and NEVER have, going back a century, if you know your history. Arrest the man who said these words and everyone who cheered him and continued to march with him. They are guilty of violent hate speech against a racial/religious minority and promoting genocide. Charge them with supporting terrorism. A Canadian is not just a Canadian. These folks cheering don't believe in liberal democracy or basic human rights, they're Islamofascist Nazis. They don't deserve the privilege to live in this country or vote in our elections. They say "Oct 7 proves we're almost free". You're already free, you live in Canada. Now GTFO.

Including Jews. People aren't legally allowed to setup occupied encampments on public property with barricades and checkpoints in order to not allow people of certain ethnicities to enter said public property. Ironically, this is apartheid. Genocide? I'm not the one glorifying Oct 7, chanting "From the river to the sea...", denying food aid to starving people or murdering innocents then hiding inside/under hospitals and schools and then calling myself a victim.

Because bigotry by leftist ethnic minorities is far more socially acceptable and less politically incorrect than caucasian rightwing white supremacists.

All protestors breaking laws and refuse to stop should be arrested, whether convoy honkers or campus trespassers.

But no f*ck Hamas? Great job.

I don't know the luggage policy for delicate items but i'd say put it in a strong protective case, stick a GPS tracker inside it or something, and then do whatever everyone else does with these kinds of delicate and important items. I mean musicians who don't fly privately put their delicate instruments somewhere too, inside a shell case.

Problematic given they and many large parts of BC never ceded their land or made treaties with the Crown. Like any other private lands the gov can say the land is privately owned by them but it still remains under jurisdiction of the Crown and the Province in terms of laws and borders. Though I really don't know what the new agreement means. This could get interesting depending on how far the indigenous want to take things.

What the heck is going to happen if Trump loses again? Or Biden loses?

Billions.

I have some magic beans to sell you.

There's a few videos on Twitter

LOL are you serious? There's chains being formed to block Jewish students across different US campuses. We don't know exactly why this chain was formed or where the Jewish student was trying to access, but it's very clear they're trying to block that Jewish student from going somewhere.

We can always build more homes but we're at a near record fit be builds. think by far the 2 biggest problems with the housing crisis is the huge increase in immigration and foreign audiences and students and the big increase in housing speculation by investors. You go to any big city and every other person seeks to have an investment property. That's a home that someone can't own and has to rent because they can't afford it.

Every successful economy needs some regulation where appropriate. Laissez-faire economics doesn't work and the deregulation that led to the 2008 housing crash and recession is proof. Regulation isn't socialism. You're dealing in gross generalities based on ideology. Yes it is a sin if housing speculation is part of what is raising housing prices dramatically and people can't afford to live.

Price of homes is determined by supply and demand. You don't have to build older homes since they already exist, and yet they are also higher in cost. Sorry but more people bidding on homes because there's a lot of people wanting to buy them as investment properties is part of driving up the price because that increases the demand. There are other factors involved in supply and demand for housing, but if you lower demand you will lower the price of homes. IMO they should also lower the annual immigration intake that has spiked under the Liberals to lower demand. The number of new builds is near historic highs, I see it as more of a demand issue than supply issue since demand has vastly increased while supply also has risen, just not enough to match the larger increase in demand. Also, I am aware that capital gains hikes as proposed by the Liberals will very likely inhibit investment and economic growth, which is why I only agree with raising capital gains for 2nd properties besides cottages. It will also make more people invest in the Canadian stock market rather than investment properties since they'll still want to invest their money somewhere.

Incorrect in this case in regards to housing. We have far too much demand for housing and it's making life unaffordable and destroying the rest of the economy because if a lot more of people's paychecks are going to towards housing their standard of living is decreasing and they're unable to afford other goods/services, which hurts every other form of business.

No, I think it's better for citizens when housing and rental prices are low. On the demand side lower foreign students, immigration back to sane levels.

So people can buy them to live in them. Homes don't need to sell for a million dollars to be profitable for developers.

No. I don't have any interest in punishing wealthy people in general or taxing them more for all capital gains. I'm more interested in fixing the housing market. So if you want more homes on the market and reduce demand to lower housing prices, it would be a good idea to eliminate the incentives of buying/owning homes among people that have bought them up as investment properties and don't live in them. A way to do that is to increase the capital gains on homes that aren't primary residences. This capital gains hike probably isn't going to do that very much. I've heard it being talked about for a year or 2, the gov want the revenue to pay for their goodies. Fortunately many of the evil people in this government will be unemployed soon.

The new capital gains tax should only be aimed at people selling non-primary residences, besides cottages. All housing speculation should be disincentivized. But that would only prevent the new buying of 2nd properties. There should also be some kind of mechanism to get current 2nd home owners to sell those homes instead of holding them. Just tax the crap out of the ownership of those homes until they sell so its no longer profitable.

Uh oh spaghetti oh's

On the weekend I took an elderly family member to the emergency room, they were having some heart issues. They have several other substantial health issues as risk factors and a new scary heart issue suddenly flared up, so their family doc told them to head to the ER. I drove and waited with them. I packed some water & snacks since waits in the ER are typically always long. We got there around 6pm and expected to be there all evening, maybe 8-10 hours as has been typical in past years. Unfortunately it took 18 hours from the time we registered to the time we saw a doctor! Plus another several hours to get tests run etc, so about 22 hours total. We arrived at 6pm and left at 3pm the next day. They had only 1 doctor on staff in the ER the entire time we were there, and the province had recently cut back the # of ER doctors at that hospital, which was in a major Canadian city, not some small town joint. The ER was steady but wasn't super busy at all. It was so long that we were there overnight and we all had to sleep in our chairs. I didn't sleep a wink. Nobody was being seen, we were all there a very long time, it was moving so slow, it took them 3 hours just to see a single patient at times. Everyone was PO'd. We all started making friends with each other, there was nothing else to do. Some people said they came because they couldn't get a family doctor. There were lots of nurses at least, but they could only give out non-prescription meds like tylenol and took people's blood pressure to make sure nobody was dying. It was a tragic sight seeing people suffering and waiting as long as we all were. In the waiting room I saw: - a disabled man fall out of his wheelchair onto the ground choking on his own saliva. -a woman occasionally vomiting into a plastic bag -A woman crying while holding her head because she kept getting very dizzy while waiting for hours with a head injury - a man continually screaming in agony while laying on a stretcher, i'm not sure what happened to him Our healthcare system is completely broken. It makes me PO'd that this elderly family member paid into the system their entire life and now when they have to use it it's not there for them. Disgraceful.

Those theories are the best explanation we have based on the observable evidence. They are called theories because science is about probability of truth. People just didn't make this stuff up out of thin air, like in the Bible. Every single person who believes in Adam and Eve and Noah's Ark over the theory of evolution is a gullible fool.

They sold it to the American public, and we and Europe get to afford free healthcare, pharma, daycare, and other goodies. Moochocracy.

You owe everything you have to those "fools". Learn some respect, you'd be dead or conquered without these brave patriots who want to serve and protect their country. Looks like there's not very many of them anymore, no thanks to people like you.
