I guess from the job description this person will have nothing to do with fighting anti-Semitism. She must be laughing all the way to the bank. If someone in Canada is critical of gays being tossed off buildings in the Middle East, does that count as Islamophobia?

Firearms accidents are tragic. Unfortunately they do happen, just look at Dick Cheney and Alex Baldwin as two well known cases. Offhand I don't know how it breaks down with accidents, homicides and suicides. This article suggests that the majority of mass shootings are tied to gang violence. Street brawls, gang gunfights dominate causes of the 267 mass shootings this year - Washington Times

This is an interesting article about gun ownership and the amount of gun crimes per country. Make of it what you will. Does Gun Control Reduce Murder? Let’s Run The Numbers Globally (thefederalist.com) Gun confiscation by governments is not the answer. Criminals don't care about gun laws but this fact is lost on the left.

This link from Global News appears to put your claim into serious doubt. And Global News is not generally friendly to any Conservatives. Alberta Justice says probe uncovered no evidence of emails between Smith’s office, Crown prosecutors | Globalnews.ca

We may actually be in agreement in that these activities should be considered conflicts of interest. And both sides engage in unethical behavior.

A Pfizer employee, and a high up one at that makes some startling admissions. And there is even a bit of humour in it when the man in question brings up the diversity of the camera crew!? I was wondering if this guy was actually working for Pfizer and apparently he is. Was Jordon Trishton Walker a Pfizer Executive? - USSA News | The Tea Party's Front Page. Who says we can't have a laugh when we hear news stories?

But she is involved in passing legislation that affects large businesses that in turn do business with the likes of Paul Pelosi. Isn't that kind of a conflict of interest to put it mildly?

There is still a price gap though. Here’s a look at how the costs of electric vehicles compare to gas-only cars. The average transaction price for an electric vehicle (EV) is $56,437, according to Kelley Blue Book — roughly $10,000 higher than the overall industry average of $46,329 that includes gas and EVs. In terms of pricing, an EV is equivalent to an entry-level luxury car. I have to be realistic about it. An EV is probably in my future but hopefully I'll have been long retired by then. And range won't be an issue as I can make the 13km drive to the nearest small town. And hopefully even if I have the slowest possible charger at home the days it takes to recharge won't be a big deal.

Klaus Schwab does have a thick German accent but if you listen to him speak English he clearly understands and means every word he says. When he brags about penetrating governments and being proud of it, there is no ambiguity. Don't get me started on George Soros.?

Some of it sure sounds like a wish list. We get labelled as conspiracy theorists for having serious concerns about the WEF and it's agenda. Why shouldn't be be concerned since it's not really an open event for everyone and many meetings are held in secrecy. A lot of the attendees already have a large degree of control over much of the world and everything indicates they want more. Yes it is a private organization, but one that has an enormous amount of influence with governments all over the world. Yes, it seems like the uber rich are getting even richer. Chrystia Freeland said it. And she has a hell of a lot more influence and power than most people. It can be argued that this is happening under her watch.

The wealthy already carry most of the tax burden do they not?

I think this would fit the definition of desires for the WEF. 8 predictions for the world in 2030 | World Economic Forum (weforum.org) I personally don't have much faith that the WEF is totally benevolent and open for all to see. Perhaps this image on the cover of Chrystia Freeland's book is prophetic.

Good grub: why we might be eating insects soon | World Economic Forum (weforum.org) They certainly have mentioned the idea of the people eating bugs in order to save the planet.

Are you comparing only news and opinion shows? Shows that are political in nature?

Windmills do not provide electricity at a cost of zero. The world is not going to end anytime soon. Some of the predictions were way off base. I don't plan on eating bugs. But I suppose governments will attack the meat industry in the same way they attack the oil and gas sector, by strangling it with taxation.

As I said before, that job is not an easy one. But KJP and her predecessor Jen Psaki seem to do a lot of dodging and weaving while actually not giving clear and concise answers to questions. And that's with most of the White House press corps actually being quite helpful most of the time. Peter Doocy is one of the few that ask real questions. I haven't seen her on C-SPAN. I see enough clips of her getting frustrated with Doocy and his line of questioning.

An interesting article from the National Post about Chrystia Freeland and the WEF. Rupa Subramanya: Chrystia Freeland's side gig with the WEF is endangering Canadian democracy | National Post It's been quite a journey for Freeland since being a journalist at one time. In 2012 she had authored a book, Plutocrats:The Rise of the New Global Super-Rich and the Fall of Everyone Else.

You think she's good at her job? You should try raising the bar. Ok, good to point out my less-than-perfect grammar.?

It's hard to deny that this press secretary isn't terrible at her job. It is a difficult job to be fair, but much tougher on Republican press secretaries.

I don't know the answer myself. I imagine many donations may not be public knowledge and I'm sure that both sides get quite a fair share of the loot. And the agendas of both sides are not perfect, just that one side may be less intrusive and harmful than the other for the general public. My concern is the actual agenda and which, if any, benefits society in a tangible way. I for one, do not want to sacrifice any of the freedom we currently enjoy while the billionaires and political elites make no sacrifices at all. The right to speak out and question authority is something that is in jeopardy now. I'm one of those that do not trust the WEF and their agenda at all. How can I given the onerous statements made by Klaus Schwab in the past? See how the great benefactor Klaus responds to a single independent Japanese journalist trying to ask some questions.

If you had to take an educated guess, would you say that most billionaires support the Democrat or Republican agenda? I haven't really seen anything positive coming out of this annual meeting, but then again, it's extremely secretive.

I did see that a few clips of Rebel News reports from Davos were shown on FOX so they are getting some exposure. As you would expect however, those particular clips are the reporters asking very pertinent questions of some of the elites who then totally ignore them. No openness and transparency at the WEF of course. World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2023 (rebelnews.com)

You did say that nobody says that. You're wrong. And confused. If you support ever increasing carbon taxes that's your right. I am free to be opposed to the idea. It's always the Liberal way, taxation is the answer to every problem.

This elite, speaking at the WEF, said it. Just scroll to 3:10 and listen for yourself.

I think any rational person would only be concerned only that criminals are brought to justice regardless of skin colour. You keep claiming that you're not saying that the criteria is problematic, but you then turn around and ask, what if the criteria chooses nonwhites unfairly? Can you point out WHY that MIGHT be the case? Is there something about the most wanted lists that strike you as being odd?
