    If any non PS tried this, they would be at home, permanently. Almost all Canada have no  pity for the PS and they are only making it worse.

    When Conservatives get in and they slash the PS, a lot of them will be at home LOL

    That’s really the crux of the matter, isn’t it?  They’re already significantly overcompensated (counting their benefits) and it’s almost impossible to get rid of low-performers.  While Canadians overpay for unproductive PS employees, they are going to battle for even more entitlements?  
     

    Justin and the Liberals sold Canada out to the Public Service Unions, a huge voting bloc they know they can count on.  Now the consequences for that come home…

    Some people posting on here, this is all I see:

    I am so stupid that I 100% believe everything the government tells me!!

    You're saying this as you reference randoms on Twitter, just like you've cited Facebook claims in the past.  Way to play to the trope, Karen. 🤡

    Here's the thing:

    There was plenty of stuff that Kamala said in that debate that was bogus.  She just didn't say anything that was utterly,  mentally retarded.  I don't need the government to tell me that the idea of illegal Haitians kidnapping and then snacking on house pets is batshit crazy - that realization only requires a few synapses to fire.  Alas, that's a hurdle too high for the likes of you.  🤣

    The only sad part, is those d*** landlords tend to get away with things, and its the honest small landlord that gets shafted.

    Yes, so feel sympathy for them.

    Only way to rent (or buy to rent out) to me, is be smart, know your rights and responsibilities, and know where and how to fight for them. Landlord or tenant.

    Like I said, the problem is that fighting for your rights is difficult.  It takes forever.  The bureaucracy is oppressive, generally unhelpful and proceeds glacially to sort out any disputes, if they bother at all.  

    The whole scheme of renovictions is something that could shut down with proper enforcement, but like so much else in Canada, is left to fester by mostly worthless regulators and public service bureaucracies.

    They have a legal contract and so does the landlord and the terms of that contract should be the only binding thing.

    The only parts of the contract that are legal are the ones that comply with statutes and contract law.  You can put whatever bullshit you want in a contract, but the only parts that will hold up are the ones that the Courts will recognize. 

    10 hours ago, CdnFox said:

    The gov't may mandate some terms be included and that's fine to a point but then they FREQUENTLY just make up other rules on the fly that landlords must obey. 

    They don't just make up rules on the fly.  I know from current experience how shitty it is to be a landlord, but I also know from past experience how shitty it can be to be a tenant with a predatory/useless landlord. 

    Most of the problems with being a landlord aren't really about the statutes or regulations, but rather how glacially slow everything plays out when you have a problem tenant.  That's more a problem with an overbearing, underperforming bureaucracy and an overloaded court system than it is with the actual rules.  Cash for keys is a thing now because it can take the better part of a year to get rid of a non-paying tenant, and that's only IF you fill out all of your paperwork perfectly and there are no hiccups.  

    It works the same the other way though too.  Tenants get bullied, ripped off an abused, and it's very difficult for them to get any sort of timely response.  The only recourse they usually have is to withhold rent if the landlord is being a scumbag.  The sorts of stuff my landlords tried to get away with when I was in university were comical.  Fortunately I grew up in a family of landlords and knew how not to get f*cked around.

  8. "Useful id*ot" is a term that Russian intelligence has been using since at least WW2, and they've continued ever since.  

    Most of these donkeys aren't actually traitors (though some are).  They're just too unintelligent to know how easily they're being manipulated.

    Sure, again this is how YOU see this conversation going, i on the other hand do not see it that way....... And I'm over all of it actually, and have moved on...you should do the same...

    At this point it's pretty clear that you only see what you want to, and only hear what you want to. 

    You called someone retarded in this thread (among other things) and later cried foul over insults when people mocked your reasoning.  

    The absurd hypocrisy of that complaint is yet another example of your shitty, one-directional reasoning in this thread. 

    You're "over it, and you've moved on", though.  Cool.  🙄

    Hopefully that spares us any more of this kind of foolishness.

    This is all about interpretation, it is easy to sit there and say thats bullshit and call it a day, no source documentation provided, like we are just to take your word for it...at least i provided sources, that validated my position.... 

    This is exactly what I'm talking about here, lol.  After just explaining how your sources DO NOT validate your position, you thought the wisest response was to repeat that your your sources validate your position?  What a joke.

    This is a bold face lie, i discussed my points dozens of times, to the point i got frustrated going over the same points over and over....the conversation never went anywhere..Now your pi$$ed becasue i decided to end it ...

    If we'd already rejected your points and explained why the first time, what bricked logic convinced you that repeating them back to us dozens of times was intelligent?

    For a conversation to go anywhere, you have to address what the other person is saying. That you just sort of ignore and blow past what other people are saying is something that's been brought up to you by multiple people on multiple occasions in this thread, and the absurdity of it is highlighted by the fact that this too is something that sails over your head and doesn't register.

     i personally don't give a sh1T if you think it was not insulting . I thought it was and decided to end the conversation...I'm not obligated to sit around and listen to it...Just so we are clear, opinions are like a$$holes everyone has one, yours are no better than mine.... 

    Get over yourself, buttercup.  You've been unreasonable, dishonest, rude and obstinate for most of this thread, and you've thrown your own insults as well.  Don't expect or demand respect from people that you weren't willing to give yourself.

    Montreal isn't struggling.  Newer owner, fans returning after losing years.

    My comment was from a year ago, when they had the second-lowest attendance in the CFL behind Toronto. 

    If the CFL isn't struggling, then they don't need federal money though, do they?

    I meant the CPC doesn’t need to have an election this fall. They are guaranteed a big majority so what is the rush? They have loads of money and support. Use the time to refine their message into realistic policy. 

    If the outcome cannot improve by waiting, then why would you?  A guaranteed win now is better than a probably guaranteed win later, especially when the status quo is guaranteed incompetence.

    Considering how many social media political personalties that have been found to have been paid off to spout disinformation of various social media campaigns,  i find it highly likely that this is also the case with political commentating forums.

    We have already caught paid Russian trolls posting here, copy-pasting the same goof content across different country's forums. They are pretty rare, but we do have a lot brain-dead monkeys who nod and "Yup yup yup" with what they're posting.

    I find it impossible that this is a Canadian political forum, and that most posts consist of ideas consistant with Russian disinformation, and pro-Trump posts, in spite of most polls indicating that about 75% Canadians have a somewhat to negative view of Trump.

    Thoughts?

    Angry, disillusioned losers tend to end up complaining a lot on the internet.  Trump is the Lord of this Manor, and his mooks are very vocal.

    Y'know those that are gonna comment how JT's recognition that there are problems amount to failure or weakness because he changed his mind a little instead of 'doubling down'. 

    He already doubled-down.  This wasn't a problem that crept up on him and only became apparent recently.  Giving him any credit for this policy reversal is like appreciating the driver for taking his foot off the gas AFTER he crashed through the convenience store window.  

    I don't agree with Groot on his overall attitudes towards immigrants, but he was absolutely right criticizing 500,000 new immigrants a year, and the TFW program has been a debacle he was also correct about.  The fact that this exacerbates a crippling housing crisis that everyone ALSO saw coming and that Trudeau did nothing but encourage for his entire term shows everything we need to see about the man's general incompetence.  

    He deserves to lose.  The Liberals deserve to lose.  They deserve to lose badly.

    Mr. Poilievre needs time to pivot from his tendency to issue glib but stupid one liners and mature out of his student politician personality.

    I don't think time is going to change him.  This is who he's always been and what he's always done, and he's never had a real job in his life.

    He should enjoy the rest of the year as leader of the opposition. He is guaranteed a large majority but then he will have to deal with a Trump administration and all of the other nightmares that comes with actually having to govern. 

    I don't think a year helps him at all.  I don't think it hurts him, but whether the NDP actually withdraws support (rather than pretending) and they put this pitiful government out of its misery, or they let it suffer it out to the end of term, it's not Poilievre's decision. He'll be there to assume government and we'll see what he's actually capable of at that point.

    This is your Problem, I fully 100 % agree with what i've posted and backed it up with sound sources,

    You fully agree with what you've posted?  Wow!  No kidding!

    On 9/4/2024 at 5:44 PM, Army Guy said:

    it is obvious to you that you've interrupted those sources in a much different way...which is fine, you do you...

    This isn't about interpretation.  This is about you bullshitting.  No only have your sources frequently not said what you claim they said, they often contradicted you.  All of those maps you posted in this thread were from ISW, and it couldn't be any clearer that you haven't read their write-ups or what they were actually saying about them.  

    When someone disputes what you claim a source or citation is saying, the intelligent way to clear that up is to show where it did.  It's not like you weren't given plenty of opportunity to do so.  The fact that you chose instead to ignorantly and persistently plow forward, trolling about how we just didn't like what your source was saying, or that we couldn't handle it/couldn't get over it, is deliberate garbage-posting . 

    You don't get to pretend you were arguing in good faith when you do that.  

    The worst thing I've said about you personally (after earlier defending you) is describing your tendency to settle on strong opinions before knowing anything about a topic.  Your opinions are worth as much as wet farts if you can't reasonably support them, and that's some real snowflake thinking if you feel otherwise. 

    This board is full of obnoxious, ignorant opinion-shouters who only see black-and-white.  If that's what you're here for, you do you, I guess.  Just don't expect any respect for it, because it's not deserved.

    Look, it may be a game to you, but when i post something you are interrupting wrong, when i correct you you revert back to your original statement which was wrong, we continue to do this over and over...It is frustrating for both sides to have to continue to retrace the conversation, while still tackling a new post...the conversation is just one huge circle...or it seems that way to me...It gives me the impression that you are doing it on purpose to derail the conversation or your not following

    Talk about the pot calling the kettle black...

    When I respond, I do you the courtesy of actually addressing specific points you're making.  I don't just full-quote your entire post and then ramble off the exact same thing I've already said dozens of times before, not even acknowledging your arguments.  

    How many times did you link us maps of Eastern Ukraine showing Russia "advancing", despite the fact that nobody ever argued they weren't?  How many times did you claim I "didn't like your sources", that I somehow disputed them, or that I needed to "get over" what they were saying?  How many times did I explain that I have no issue with them, but rather how you use them - your poor logic, your contradictions and bad conclusions, and how these sources don't share those with you?  

    If this nonsense gets addressed a half dozen times, and you don't acknowledge that and persist with the behavior, how can we possibly believe you're interested in an honest, back-and-forth debate?  Spare us the whining about marshmallow insults about other people trying to derail the conversation if you're going to troll us like that.  Some of us have tried to debate with you here, but if you're not acknowledging our points then we may as well be talking to a brick wall.

    Debating without personal insults is not your strong suit is it...i don't recall judging you let alone insulting you or your opinions, I think i'll end this conversation on that point. Thanks for the talk. 

    Such a thin skin. 

    If you don't want people to mock your reasoning then don't argue yourself into a corner and make yourself look silly. 

    If all that matters to Russia is the amount of territory they gain, and if their casualties and material losses don't matter, then the Kursk incursion is a catastrophic setback, isn't it?  Ukraine has just cancelled out a year's worth of Russian "progress" in three weeks.  I'm using your logic here, so if anyone needs to get over anything, it's you.  

    Thanks for the talk.  🙄

  20. 23 hours ago, Army Guy said:

    An argument that is backed up with sources that don't see it like you do...The fact remains Russian troops are advancing and doing it in several areas of the map...some of those same sources have described those advances as substantial...SO no i would not describe it as foolish but factual...

    Those sources argued that advancing is advancing, or that hundreds of thousands of dead and irreplaceable equipment losses were worth creeping forward ~20km in a year, in isolated sectors of a ~1000km front?  🤔

    No, they did not.  That was just you.    

    As I said, it was a foolish argument to begin with, and it looks doubly foolish now that Russia's given up the equivalent of a year's worth of their grinding, wasteful offensive.  

    23 hours ago, Army Guy said:

    Russia's chain of command is not worried about the cost in manpower or equipment...but rather in every meter of ground taken...

    Then losing an equivalent of one year's worth of creeping gains over a few weeks must be a catastrophe for them, right? 🤣

    This is yet another foolish argument that even a moment's consideration would discard.  That doesn't appear to be your strong suit though.  The opinion always seems to come first.  Any consideration of the facts or reasoning behind that opinion is a distant afterthought...

  21. I think we should try to understand where some of the resentment against experts comes from, and also how they themselves are not always above politicizing issues. 

    Doris Grinspun didn't just come out and say that safe injection sites save lives - an objective analysis she's qualified to offer.  She went political and came out swinging with an accusation that this was a death sentence (by Conservatives).  There's an implied maliciousness to the decision, with no acknowledgement or analysis of the costs or the repercussions these sites have on their communities (something she's probably not qualified to offer).  

    It's definitely not helpful when you have dinks like Poilievre doing everything he can to undermine experts for cheap political points, but out-of-touch academics and biased/self-affirming public sector reps do a lot to undermine their own positions.
