They have. The Conservative "base" in Canada (ie. the die-hards) are amongst the least-educated people in the country. https://abacusdata.ca/who-is-in-the-conservative-party-base-and-how-does-it-differ-from-other-canadians/ The Conservative base represents 23 percent of Canadians. These voters would only consider voting Conservative and are deeply anchored in Conservative identity. Over 40% of the screeching monkeys in the base have high school or less levels of education. These are folks we hear the most from on this forum. Less than 1/4 of them even a bachelor's degree.

I'm not interested in sitting around watching committees debate for countless hours. I'm interested in the material you keep telling us you've seen, but can't actually cite. It's not my job to back up your claims. It's yours. 🙃

I think you have your tinfoil hat on a bit too snug, bud.

Ah yes, the committee meetings you can't reference, post or source for us. 🫠

This sort of blanket advice is poor guidance. Taking CPP early or delaying depends on each individual. Eyeball is a good example of someone who should take it early.

Whoa whoa whoa. Take your fancy book words and gtfo of here. 😉

No that's called a non-sequitur. I asked you a very straightforward, yes or no question, and the only response you could muster was to ask me a question of your own that has no relevance to the one I asked, and that I'm apparently not even expected to answer. That's also called running away. This braindead logic only works under the mistaken belief that you can only be critical of one side at a time. Any criticism of Israel, according to your logic, demonstrates full-hearted support for Hamas' terrorism? Is that how this works for you? If that's the case, then why can't you just answer the question: Did the October 7th attack give Israel carte-blanche to do whatever they want in the region, and make them immune to criticism?

It's less of an angle and more of a minimum baseline for thoughtful debate. It's all or nothing politics, and it makes everyone stupider. This thread is a great example. You point out the cherry picked nature of the data presented and the selective bias in posting it, and now you're one of "those people" who've been pushing gender politics on everyone for the last 10 years. If you're not on THIS side, then you're on THAT side, and there's nothing in between. It's good or bad. There is no nuance.

Answering a question with a question. As usual, you can't engage the logic so instead you deflect and try to change the subject. Here's a real question: What does your question have to do with the one I asked? The logic doesn't follow. 🤡

So in your estimation, +250,000 casualties (+70,000 dead) and having your cities pounded into oblivion is what carte blanche means? 🤔

Is barfing out copypasta supposed to be compelling content? As Flyer said, you have no problem with all of the conspiracy monkeys and uneducated culture war know-nothings flinging poo here 24/7, but it really bothers you that flyer flings it back in their face. Funny shit.

Semantic gymnastics is your specialty, not mine. You've been caught yet again spinning useless straw and projecting against vague "you guys" rather than debating in substance or specificity.

And you still can't answer the question. It's remarkable how often you criticize people for running away when you can't help do it yourself...all the time. Why so afraid of answering a simple question?

No, you literally just projected vaguely against "you guys", failed to address a single point he made, and then obliviously and ironically reinforced what he was saying by proclaiming that the "tides had changed" because of one Finnish study. You couldn't have faceplanted better if you tried.

No, what you said is that the polling data has little/no connection to the voting. Your attempt to scurry away from that typically clueless hot-take is cute, but you still look as stupid as you did from the beginning. 🤡👍

One-liner predictably results in emotional meltdown. The dumb goldfish always bites the hook. 🤡👍

Right, so rather than debate the actual poster and his points, you've chosen to debate with a vague projection you came up with...not specific to this forum. FFS. 🫠

No, you did not. I asked you if October 7th gave Israel carte-blanche in the region, and if it made them immune to criticism. I just want an answer to that.

Thanks for you uneducated, thoughtless and emotional input. If you had any actual facts or relevant data to your point, maybe it would count for something. The fact is that the Conservative Base is amongst the least-educated demographic in the country, and you fall firmly in that category. For someone who spends so much time insulting people that don't share your viewpoint and emotionally venting like the above, it's absolutely batshit that you're also such a little whiney b*tchboy and constantly cry about what other people post. You're such a joke here now it's wild.

Since you weren't hear 5-10 years ago, how can you even say that? You're just projecting your own partisan hackery on others, while refusing to engage the actual logic. If it even matters for you, I don't support gender-affirming care for minors. I don't support gender affirming surgery on the public dime for anyone. I don't support trans athletes in women's sports. What does that do to you're feeble attempt at an argument now? You're not actually making points against Hardner here. He's not even making arguments against the Finnish study. He's pointing out how curious it is that the science matters now that this one study says something the monkeys want to hear, when the science never seemed to matter before.

What's conspiratorial about it? He has multiple criminal cases against him, he's deeply unpopular, and diversionary wars are a time-honored tradition for leaders facing domestic problems. It's speculation, but not outlandish. Notice how I asked you a question, and rather than answer it you tried to deflect and turn it back on me?

The tide turned because of one study...from Finland? Mike's point was pretty clear. You've already made up your mind. The studies are only relevant to you when they show you what you want to see. You aren't particularly interested in the dozens of studies showing the opposite now, are you?

Is October 7th carte-blanche for Israel to do whatever it pleases in the region, and make it immune to criticism? I was firmly in their corner when the conflict erupted and they went into Gaza. Years later, not so much.

Because Confux says so....? 🤣

Thanks for all your "research" Karen.
