Everybody should be concerned with our national debt. It’s silly not to. One way or the other, the bills have to be paid.

Ukraine's taken more land back in the first 5 weeks of their counter-offensive than Russia took in the six months prior. Russia's done essentially nothing but throw lives away and lose territory since last summer, but apparently that's what winning means. ?

Because it looks dumb, makes no sense, and I'd never even seen it before you posted it here. My point is not that nobody's allowed to change anything, but if you're going to change it at least have a good reason for doing it. Getting rid of John A. made sense. Putting Canada's Rosa Parks on it instead was a bit of an eye-roll, but whatever. I don't normally waste my time/energy on these sorts of things, but there's something grating about the drive to turn our bills into highschool-diorama style diversity statements. Put the animals back on it and be done with it. I have an old orange $2 bill with a couple of robyns in a drawer somewhere and it looks great.

Enhanced security measures don't have much to do with the aesthetic design, or cultural messaging though, do they? Yes - a very straightforward, innocuous refresh, isn't it? I'm not sure what your point is on this one. I think we can both agree this one is retarded?

That's not a goal, just an observation, and it's not a refresh anyways. It's no reason at all. What's the purpose of the periodic refresh anyways?

The burden of reasoning would lie with the push for upsetting the status quo. What's the goal here? What's being accomplished?

What's funny to me is how these muddled buffoons are still pretending that Russia is a massive superpower - like it's impossible to beat an incompetently led, poorly supplied enemy full of soldiers who don't want to be there.

He was our longest-serving Prime Minister and was a unifying force for anglo-franco Canadian relations. There's nothing sacred about that, but I'd say it makes more sense to have him there than "-Insert Obscure Minority Candidate-" in a diversity box-ticking exercise.

I think the numbers are interesting, and that's the more important part here. Things won't change until there's another bump in the night, but if Trump proved anything it's that people are generally not happy and it's not only because he's telling them to be unhappy.

August this is so wildly self-deluded it's not worth any response beyond that.

Nobody's saying the kid is stupid, but he's talking about gossip and rumours on what amounts to his web blog, so the people citing him are making a good case that they are. Good job.

If you're seriously citing what looks like a 15 year old gossiping about rumours he heard on the internet about Justin Trudeau, you might be. ?

I had never heard of the National Telegraph, so I looked it up and the first two people showing in the "about us" section:

Oh CF is a Klaus Schwab acolyte, don't you know? She wants us to eat ze bugs and she's under his control. ?

Yeah when oil was booming and before he started invading his neighbours. Since then, NOPE. Truly some kindergarten babyshit you're talking there. ?

Tornadoes? Sure. Tropical storms, fine. Full-fledged hurricanes, spanning 300-miles across the peninsula in an era where building construction was flimsier and sea travel was far more dangerous? Unlikely.

I understand what you think your point is, but that doesn't mean that folks back in the 1900's couldn't notice roofs being blown off, trees being knocked down, or ships being lost at sea. ?

and I'm telling you that computers and diligent empirical science wasn't required to notice 300-mile wide storm fronts that sunk ships, destroyed buildings and caused floods.

Nobody's talking about Oregon. They're talking about Florida, where hundreds of thousands of people lived, had newspapers and wrote stuff down.

I have a lot of points here. A 300-mile wide hurricane doesn't pass through unnoticed, whether or not you have radars and computers to record them.

Post it, or don't. Carrying on for 2000+ words about why you won't back up a claim that you say takes 30 seconds to cite makes you look like a buffoon, not me. ?

No, I'm saying that a 300-mile wide hurricane does not cross over the peninsula without a lot of people noticing it and having to clean up after it. ?

Where's the citation that you've assured us you have on these numbers? How many times do we need to ask? There's one solution here: Post it. Carrying on for pages and pages about why you shouldn't have to post it does nothing but suggest you can't back up your claims.

I'm saying that for someone who can claims he can provide citations for his statements in 30 seconds, it's retarded how much time and energy you're wasting making excuses for why you wouldn't just...do that.

A typical hurricane is 300+ miles wide. ?
