We are #1!!
"Canada will have the distinction of running the largest deficit among all countries — advanced, emerging and developing — at 19.9 per cent of GDP. This even “trumps” the United States, which has the second highest forecast deficit at 18.7 per cent. And it’s almost double the average deficit for Euro area countries (10.1 per cent of GDP)."

Watch the Jimmy Dore Show, the Hill, or many other progressive sites to see how bad the FBI has been in all of this if you want to have a left wing view of this. The Dems are terrible to support the FBI corruption. Adam Schiff is actually worst for the US than Trump..

Michael Chong has always been my favorite.... But I can be considered a Red Tory.
Thought the only card carrying Conservatives I know are the religious right, so.... A Hard Ceiling of 40%, and need Jagmeet Singh to be very popular.....
The Conservatives are in trouble. I doubt even Harper can keep the religious right quiet and happy enough with how out dated their beliefs are for a modern election.

I thought the single debate issue was obvious. I no way did they have time to discuss any issue in any kind of depth..
Another example of Trudeau weakening Democracy by making this single English language debate legal.

I thought Singh won the Debate by a long stretch!
Trudeau was terrible. Surprised he basically said he was going to challenge Bill 21.
Sheer did poorly, except for 2 moments. _ The Trudeau wears a mask to pretend moment and the suggestion Trudeau should run for the Ontario Liberal leadership

The CBC is gone so far down hill in recent years.
I used to think the radio was decent, but if you listen to Rita Celli in Ontario, you swear it was just a Liberal Party mouth piece.
I used to think the "National" and "On the Money" were decent non-partisan programming... On the Money was cancelled and with the retirement of Peter Mansbridge and promotion of Rosemary Barton, It has gone down hill fast. The rest seem fine though, but she has made me stop recording it.
That and like Angus stated, It is what did Trump / republicans do today network. I could care less... The Abortion issue in the US.... Not more of a concern to me than it is in other countries I do not live in. I guess it may create more fear of CPC... Otherwise, it should be pushing Canadian News! Canadian who want US news can Watch Fox, CNN MSNBC for there US fill....

I think David Orchard has an interesting perspective on the negotiations. He was on Cross country checkup. He calls in at ~23 minutes point.
Thinks we should bail

You are the one that raised race as a factor for the jury, and are promoting vigilante justice. My "simplistic" view is that the jury did their job according to the instruction received and the evidence presented, and your interpretation of the jury`s findings is frightening for the future of our society.
I am concerned that policing and justice for the very rural parts of this country. It is an issue that is mostly ignored, as it is not understood by people in towns and cities. I do think it may get worst.
I am still confused how you can hold a gun to someone, it go off and kill someone, and it not be at least manslaughter, no matter the instructions... Even if you believe the story about the missfire...

That is the biggest part of the problem. Unthinking people that somehow construe this as support for vigilante justice. Nothing could be further from the case. I have pointed out many times that the jury found reasonable cause that this was not culpable homicide - that is all. When we have people who have expressed their racial hatred now calling for vigilante justice, we have become a horrid society.
So in your simplistic view, that Race was the only consideration? That in now way there can be multiple factors? The other cases I was comaring it to involved only whites...

Yes, it is the white guys like I pointed out above. The white guy who got away with stealing $1.2 million worth of farm equipment with a "house arrest" compared to the native who got his brains blown out. It is comments like yours that proves that there is still extreme racial hatred in this country.
Nice jumping to conclusions... I bet the white guy your talking about was know as a trouble maker. There was probably no surprise, when the police finally busted him. That was the case I was quoting from you...
Or am I jumping to conclusions on your comment, that there is extreme racial hatred in this country against whites?

If you want to expand your investigation, then you should google search for Iain Stables, he stole $1.2 million worth of farm equipment in the same area. He is serving "house arrest" (I.e. no prison time), could that be because he has white skin. Bouchie however is lying in the ground, even though he never had a criminal record. Could the skin color of this young man have anything to do with the sentence he received? I only ask because this thread seems rife with references to this "native", and skin color appears to be the determining factor for many.
I think that the root cause of the horrible outcome.
When you are very rural, you feel like you have no protection. Everybody knows who the trouble makers are, but, IF the police do anything, it takes the criminals away for only a short period, then they are right back in action. The Justice system is only capable of slightly delaying the issue.
Where I grew up, a local thug was brutally murdered, and the killers only got manslaughter. And the local crime issue was not chronic like I've been hearing about in rural Saskatchewan.
The Justice System has been failing both rural residents and obviously indigenous people. I suspect the Jury feels that vigilante justice is all that is available for the farmer, especially dealing with people from there…
I believe the shooting was likely not race based, but the not guilty verdict was helped by race…
he killers only got Manslater. And the local crime issue was not cronic like I've been hearing about in rural Saskatchewan.

It appears this Olympics are amongst the best prepared by the host Country. Everything has been ready early with no worries, unlike past Olympics where the paint was still drying as the participants were arriving.
I am also happy the NHLers are not going. Despite being a fan, I am glad that the other athletes will be getting more attention.

To me, Bill 62 seems to follow the principle that eliminated easy name changes. They are banning, what many see is a tradition to repress woman's freedoms / equality.
Found this article:
https://globalnews.ca/news/2404384/does-quebecs-ban-on-married-names-infringe-on-womens-rights/
So in Quebec, women do not have the right to take their husbands last name. Is this discriminatory against traditional Catholics?
-
I have read a bit on this issue, and was surprised to found out about how Quebec is different than the rest of Canada.
I have read that in Quebec, after marrying, would have difficulty taking the last name of her new spouse. That the Quebec government was against this practice, as it was seen as a Catholic tradition based on the women being inferior to her husband and is sacrificing some of her identy to take on her husbands. That they are trying to eliminate that tradition. I think the crucifix in their legislature is more of an anomoly to appease an older generation that will disappear within a generation.
To me, Bill 62 seems to follow the principle that eliminated easy name changes. They are banning, what many see is a tradition to repress woman's freedoms / equality.

What I eventually saw was a very marked difference between left and right, overall, in the posts here. It seemed to me that the right complains about a lot of stuff, blames everyone else - especially the left - for what they don't like, even stuff that is he result of conservative ideology, and they take every opportunity to insult and demean anyone they consider left, and rarely offer any moderate or mediating suggestions. Not to mention their unwillingness to help people they consider 'undeserving'.
By contrast, it seemed to me the left used facts to support their points, resorted to insults and demeaning comments less often than the right, used humor, admitted error among their own and even offered mediating ideas - few of which were even acknowledged, let alone accepted.
I read this forum regularly, but rarely post. The tone seems to change when the government changes.
Trudeau is such a great salesman, and Trump is soo poor as a political leader, the Left seems blind to their activities. This blindness makes it difficult to have a reasonible conversation.
I do not see Trudeau to be leading much to the right of Harper, just is far more positive in his messaging.

I always thought that Terrorism is the result of a Frustrated/Angry person who also suffers from a mental illness.
I don't think we can stop people from getting Frustrated or Angry, so maybe focus on helping people with Mental Illnesses???
It does shock me how quickly some in this post fear terrorism more than losing their freedom...I think the government is preforming too much surveillance already.

I can't believe the democrats are going with Hillary. I think Trump will be able to run some highly effective attack adds. She reminds me of an Ontario liberal. I have been really impressed with Bernie. I think it is sad that the system made it impossible for him to win. I feel the US needs a Bernie or trump to stop the hugely corrupt system.

The new iron law of energy development must be: if you wouldn’t want it in your backyard, then it doesn’t belong in anyone’s backyard.
The LEAP manifesto can be found at: https://leapmanifesto.org
I hate the wind turbines I can see from my house.. Should we stop those as well? Nobody wants them in their backyard now!!

Assimilation is what they've been fighting for centuries.
I thought it was the settlers, by settling up the reserve system were the original people fighting assimilation. They were put on reserves to keep them away. I am sure the settlers hundreds of years ago set up the system to their advantage, not the Natives.
I can see why a chief would fight assimilation, but why would others? I thought the complains were that they don't have the same as we have!?!?!

There great differences in the access to University by students in large cities and those in rural areas.
Being from a small town, I imagine you recognize that the current government in Ontario's policies focus almost solely on large urban areas.
Having grown up rural, the added expense of going away for University was higher than tuition... But people in TO have local options, so who cares.

You can believe that but you no more voted than had you stayed at home.
I could not disagree more. I always feel that when they strike my name off the list, that my demographic had a vote. All parties suck up to voting demographics. Old people vote in heavy numbers, so most of the polices of all parties are geared towards them. Look how no one would ever suggest eliminating income splitting for them...
I voted against the party in power to what I feel is a limit for any government not to be super corrupt, and against the Party that sounded too much like Wynne. The NDP voted against C51 as well.
-
So what are the results of strategic voting?
Did it prevent Harper from winning a minority.
Or did it simply get the liberal's a Majority vs a Minority with the NDP holding the balance of power?
I wonder if Leadnow will show the effectiveness...
-
Indeed. Or Rachel Notley getting a majority with less than a majority of the votes in Alberta. Or the fact that more than half the ballots cast in an election go towards losing candidates.
And I am betting that years from now, this will show that FPTP worked out for the people

I think it is time to change how this number is reported. I am only interested in how many Vaccinated people passed.
The Unvaccinated made a choice, and I don't think the consequences to them for that informed decision should be part of the restrictions/mandates debate.
It's not like they are the one pushing for more restrictions.
