Dougie Is Elmo And Elmo Is Dougie

China is still totalitarian, the government has total control over whatever domestic businesses and organizations it wants.

He makes up a lot of stuff.

I believe the bill does the opposite. You can say something hateful if it's from a religious belief/book. A lot of Youtubers are trash and just want clickbait. If misinformation gets eyeballs it will continue. Everybody can now publish the National Enquirer from their bedrooms.

Totalitarian governments wish to monitor the population as much as possible to maintain control and power. 1984 says Big Brother is watching. China has the most CCTVs in the world, a fact. Cameras don't lie, but can only be used for justice in a fair justice system which China doesn't have.

You can help them out without taking them on as "helpless" dependents. If they don't want a peaceful transition of power we can't force them to, we can just help. France and Spain set up the country as their colony and brought the slaves etc so they should be primarily responsible for helping them achieve strong institutions to ensure law and order and hopefully democracy. As Cuba and China show, democracy is good but isn't the most important thing for a poor country, law and order and stable and strong institutions are more important because the very worst thing is chaos and civil war. It has nothing to do with "communism", it's about the strength of their government institutions to maintain order and stability. A strong leader and government, even if it's a dictator who isn't a complete psychopath, is better than a country run by competing gangs with constant violence in the streets.

Maybe he wants them crucified like Jesus was

We tolerate a bit too much and should demand more. The current gov is weaksauce.

Example is every DEI policy. Like the new Oscar award nominee rules, or the black only scholarships shown in this thread.

The immigration system doesn't "target" any specific countries or ethnicities. They receive applications from anyone in the world who wants to immigrate and then assesses each applicant based on a points system of different criteria. Applicants are ranked based on things like education, work skills, language ability etc. If more Korean or South Asian people get in over other ethnicities it's because either their criteria just happens to be better and/or more people from that ethnicity apply over others: https://ircc.canada.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp Then you have Canadians sponsoring spouses/children, plus refugees, neither which have any of the above mentioned entrance criteria besides criminality and medical checks. In the case of spouses/children or refugees sponsored privately the Canadian sponsor needs to have enough income to support the applicant for a certain # of years.

DEI is taking opportunities from people from one or more groups and giving them to people from another group(s) perceived as less advantaged. That's literally the entire point. If this wasn't the case then DEI wouldn't exist.

The problem with far left economic thinking is that it significantly underestimates the selfishness of the general public. How many people would volunteer to be roofers or bathroom cleaners for 40 hours a week? How do you prevent freeloaders? And there will be many freeloaders. The honour system? You stop giving out parking tickets and many if not most people would ignore parking rules. That's just the way it is. The honour system doesn't work because many people just aren't that honourable.

Disinformation is a different issue than online hate. This bill doesn't address disinformation, unless its hateful. That said, yeah the news has a lot more bias now, but I also don't believe hardly anything on twitter. It's amazing how many people on twitter lie and spin things to convince people of their point. Twitter is like an app for information con-jobs. And it's not just bots and foreign agents, it's all sorts of regular people with political agendas.

Over the past 3 years more people have left our military than joined it. That's insane. I know there's an extra wait for non- Canadian permanent residents because of the extra security checks.

Chinese, Japanese, and Korean Canadians make higher incomes than white Canadians. Filipino and Southeast asians make less than white Canadians. Do you think this has to do with their race and how they're treated racially in Canada? South asians (brown people) in Canada make more than white Canadians but black and hispanic people in Canada make less. Is this due to how these racial groups are treated in Canada? https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/36-28-0001/2022001/article/00004-eng.htm Why should a caucasian or asian or Jewish person have jobs literally taken from them and given to someone else just because that someone else is black and their family comes from e.g. Jamaica or Somalia etc. it's not in any way the fault of a caucasian or asian or Jewish job applicant or student that the education and/or socioeconomics in Jamaica or Somalia are not as good as other countries or cultures. If you want to better yourself in Canada then work for it and make good life decisions for you and your kids just like everybody else. If you want to help disadvantaged people then do it by a criteria that's non-discriminatory and actually makes sense like income.

Abolishing borders is one of the worst ideas ever. It would turn Canada into a craphole and ruin everything we've built over the last 400 years.

Do you think the distribution of financial hardships across races in Canada is caused by their skin colour?

It's racially discriminatory. And it's not like there's scholarships just for poor white people, so what you said isn't true. There's more scholarships exclusively for some races over others. You make a "whites only" scholarship and people would lose their sh!t, and they should.

Why not low income students instead of "black".

Is there a difference between "woke" and DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion)? I think they're the same thing. Joe Biden and Trudeau have been accused of woke appointments (e.g. Governor General), that's DEI. Remember woke Scooby-Doo (brown Velma, black Shaggy)? That's DEI. "Woke" college admissions quotas for racial minorities (except Asians and Jews)? That's DEI. The Oscars are woke now, awards given based on DEI criteria.

1. I honestly have no idea at this point. I've considered the possibility on quite a few occasions though, but you deny it so i try to give you the benefit of the doubt. You're a message board enigma. At best I would say you can be evasive and hold your cards close to your chest, but are misunderstood. Even where you fall on the political spectrum is enigmatic: a self-described conservative whose many views seem mainstream progressive but just described themselves as a centrist. You can start to see how people get confused. Yes maybe you're mainly status quo. 2. Yes, because most other posters don't post like you, most wear their ideological biases on their sleeve and then consistenly argue for or against things based on that worldview. We know CndFox is a conservative, and Treebeard plainly leans left, so you can confuse and frustrate people, myself included. But again, maybe you try to stay above the fray on things and try to remain objective, like an academic would, rather than a pundit. I have no idea really.

If she has a direct communication line to God then she should probably be the President.

@Michael Hardnerthis is what it often seems like to me as well. Not to say you never have an opinion. But you've hardly ever voiced any opinion that could possibly be regarded as political incorrect, and when prompted it can come out as doublespeak. You're a very unique poster and one that's sometimes just difficult to guage. I'm not going to try to guess as to why, maybe you just want to remain above the fray and stay objective and academic, I dunno. I'm not saying it's wrong, just saying that it's unique and unusual on these boards and so can confuse and frustrate others.

Eyeballs definition is funny: woke = leftwing chuds lol

How is it "woke"? You can label it dumb if you want, but it's not "woke".
