  1. I would point out that under Trump the US was a net exporter of energy but now under Biden it's no longer the case. Jobs in the oil and gas industry were high paying jobs. Your claim that more drilling is going on now is highly dubious at best. All the links below say otherwise. Climate change: Biden administration freezes new oil and gas drilling leases after court rules against key tool - CNN Biden Administration Halts New Oil And Gas Drilling Permits | OilPrice.com Biden Halts Oil Permits Just as Gasoline Prices Surge on Ukraine - Bloomberg
  2. API Explains How Psaki’s ‘9,000 Unused, Approved Drilling Permits’ Is ‘Red Herring’ to Distract from WH Policies | CNSNews “Regulatory uncertainty and political hostility to fossil fuels discourage long-term investments,” The Wall Street Journal’s editorial board agrees, explaining that President Biden’s anti-domestic energy policies have made his the first administration in at least twenty years to go an entire year without selling a single onshore lease. The Biden Administration isn’t just refusing to grant additional leases - it has actually revoked a permit that could bring 830,000 barrels of crude oil daily to the U.S. In a controversial move during his first day in office, Pres. Biden revoked the permit allowing extension of the Keystone XL pipeline to Alberta, Canada. If completed, the pipeline could potentially provide the U.S. with more oil than it currently buys from Russia.
  3. I wouldn't pin 100% of the responsibility of current high prices on Biden but he's doing nothing to alleviate the pain felt at the gas pumps. I am 100% certain that if Trump was still president the prices would not be as high as they are now and that he would encourage more drilling. Why didn't gas prices spike dramatically while Trump was still in the White House? And for the umpteenth time, it's idiotic to have to rely on countries like Russia and Saudi Arabia for oil when the US already has the capacity to be energy independent.
  4. Fuzzy Memories: When Kaepernick Called for Violence and Jack Dorsey Gave Him $3M - 93.1FM WIBC
  5. Twitter’s permanent suspension of President Trump’s account is clearly not about the rules, but an exercise of power over its political opponents. Wednesday’s riots were not the cause, but the excuse used for Big Tech to do what they’ve been wanting to do for years — keep conservatives from speaking on public platforms.
  6. Interesting, but I think you're wrong. It's more about being allowed to voice your opinion, even when it's unpopular. Twitter, Facebook and their kind do not allow that. Putin is allowed on Twitter. The Taliban are allowed on Twitter. Ayatollah Khamenei is allowed on Twitter. Xi Jinping is on Twitter. Donald Trump was kicked off Twitter. Inciting violence? How about this? During this summer’s Black Lives Matter demonstrations, politicians, celebrities, and other users praised those taking to the streets in protest. Many also championed the associated riots, which cost livelihoods and at least 30 lives as cities burned. Football player turned activist Colin Kaepernick was vocal in his support for the violent rioting that overtook many American cities. He has been both “glorifying” actual violence and encouraging it to continue. Rather than censor his account in any way, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey donated $3 million to Kaepernick’s organization.
  7. Nothing that Trudeau has done over the years has dampened support from his fan base. He has little use for ethics, he will not hesitate to insult and disparage anyone that dares to disagree with him. Blackface is perfectly fine too. I don't know if there's any line he won't cross to reach his goals. He is so fortunate to have the full support of the MSM to cover up his mistakes both past and present. What have I left out? Oh yes, groping a female reporter and the non disclosure agreement with a former female student that may be lurking in the shadows. Nothing to see here, move along. Poilievre is the current front runner and he and everyone else running for the leadership is going to face a barrage of attacks from the media.
  8. Any thoughts as to why conservatives are going to Rumble, Parler and Gab?
  9. I don't think most new vehicles actually get the advertised mpg or range that the manufacturers claim whether it's an ice or electric. My car is rated at up to 5.7 litres/100km and that's usually what's indicated on the info display but the few times I've checked it myself it averaged 6.4 so the indicated mileage is somewhat optimistic. I just watched a video on Youtube about some guy driving a Tesla a distance of 85km with an initial indicated range of 415km. After arriving at his destination the display indicated that 126 odd km of range was actually used. Now this was in Ireland and the guy explained the charging station issues with electric cars.
  10. I wonder if he'll even do the full 150 days. His hoax tied up a huge amount of police resources which were sorely needed elsewhere in that crime-ridden Democratic run city of Chicago.
  11. An electric car is out of the question for me as I have a 180km daily commute to and from work. The notion of having to add another half hour or more every two days to charge before I even get home won't work. I was car pooling with one other guy and now we have another to share the driving. This recent massive hike in the cost of gas will have a disproportionate effect on poor people but that means nothing to someone like Justin Trudeau who was fortunate to have been born into wealth. The nearest small town to me is about a 25 min drive. I used to think nothing of it to drive there on a weekend to shop but I will no longer take that drive. My car is a compact four cylinder. I don't see anything on the market that fits my budget and needs. Hyundai's two electric models are around 45 grand. The Nissan Leaf is too small and the range too little. Chevrolet's models are around 40 grand and then there's the iffy GM reliability. When there's an electric car for around 25 grand with 500km range then that will get my attention. The elephant in the room for more electric cars in the future is going to be the resistance from environmentalists to the most sensible source of electricity, nuclear. I might bite the bullet and retire earlier than I planned. I do think the Trudeau and Biden governments are privately thrilled about the price of gas now.

  12. Not guilty 7 times? It was an inquiry, not a criminal trial. Where on earth do you get your information? Seriously! I await your usual reply, something along the lines of BULLSHIT! Q ANON!
  13. I'm just going by what the actual heads of Facebook and Twitter are saying. Facebook, Twitter CEOs struggle to name a single liberal who has been censored on their platforms | Fox News GOP Rep: Twitter Banned At Least 60K Conservative Accounts (thepalmierireport.com) It's not just censorship against conservatives either. Other topics are not really subject to debate, like climate change or the ever growing list of new genders.
  14. I forget who introduced us to WION in this site but I love their content. Here's a great take on Joe Biden's history in foreign policy. Remember that we were repeatedly told just how much experience Joe Biden has, over 50 years. Turns out the only thing he's really good at is greatly enriching the Biden family business.
  15. Perhaps you're thinking of Mein Kampf? In English it's known as My Struggle. I've never heard of a Hitler book called My New Order. I haven't read Mein Kampf either in case you're wondering. You should really look for better sources.
  16. Could someone please translate this into real English for me?
  17. Facebook and Twitter engage in censorship. Overwhelmingly against conservatives. The two videos I posted above are good examples. It happens with stories that run against the climate change agenda. It happened with the Hunter Biden laptop story, it was censored by the media when every bit of evidence indicated it was clearly a legitimate news story. News is often used as a weapon either by omitting facts or pushing false narratives like the Russia collusion hoax.
  18. It's a pretty serious allegation to be made against a sitting Prime Minister. One would think that he would take them to court for libel or slander. I seem to recall that the Canadian media were very slow to acknowledge the Trudeau blackface story, and then reluctantly so. Did Trudeau deny the Buffalo Chronicle’s reporting? “To date, Trudeau has not offered a public denial of The Buffalo Chronicle ’s reporting. Instead, he has instructed his communications staffers to decline to answer those questions and to attack the credibility of this publication,” they wrote.
  19. I have heard this story before but of course the MSM would not dare breathe a word of it or even investigate. The same MSM that ran wild with the Trump pee tape concoction. Justin Trudeau Signed An Agreement For $2.25 Million To Silence a Girl "Much Younger Than 17" - Council of European Canadians (eurocanadians.ca) Trudeau accusor lands a seven-figure NDA to keep quiet about West Grey departure | Vigile.Québec I wonder who else is going to run against Pierre Poilievre ? The MSM will be sharpening their knives.
  20. Forgive me but have you ever stated your trusted sources on here? Maybe you did but I missed it. Is it a particular station or newspaper? Are your trusted sources particular people? Whoopi Goldberg ? Joy Behar? Brian Stelter? You don't really have any credibility on here to speak of as your typical response to anything and everything you don't like is always the same. "Bullshit Bullshit Bullshit!" Sometimes the fact are uncomfortable or even embarrassing but eventually you have to face them. What the Clinton team did against Trump was pretty bad even by political standards.
  21. I don't really trust all the self anointed fact checkers because they also engage way too much in outright censorship.
  22. Funny, but we common sense types think pretty much the same thing about you guys on the left. The big difference being that most of us are not afraid to criticize our own side, a trait that is EXTREMELY rare for those on the left. You likely wouldn't be aware of anything in the Durham investigation if you only watch CNN, MSNBC etc. Hey, here are some typical lefties for you. Most of them literally don't know their ass from a hole in the ground but they are staunchly Democrat and hate Republicans.
  23. No. The video I watched on the WEF website does not mention what will back up all those wind turbines and solar panels. And the numbers they show are confusing. Other articles on the same website claim Germany breaks a record with 85% of energy supplied by renewables. Sounds really impressive until you read that it was just for one day. All those wind turbines take up a lot of space and have a limited lifespan. I have nothing against solar panels on rooftops either. It's just the fact we generally have to heavily subsidize them,much more than the actual cost of the electricity. Yes get rid of the coal fired plants and go nuclear. But that's unlikely to happen. Disadvantages of Wind Energy | TurbineGenerator I wish I had more answers instead of questions. Currently, only a tiny fraction of solar panels are recycled due to the expense of taking them apart and the lack of recycling infrastructure in the United States, so most end up in landfills.
  24. There is something from the WEF website about renewable(INTERMITTENT) energy in Germany's future. They plan to get 100% of their energy from...you guessed it, wind turbines and solar panels. This will happen by 2035. We have seen this before here in Ontario, billions spent on wind turbines for very little actual energy output. All those "green jobs" never really materialized either. So these are the people that are proud to be influencing our already inept Liberal government.?
  25. I gather that you're well versed in something like sensitivity training and I am not. Would I be correct in assuming that it would cover every identifiable group with the exception of straight white males? The skyrocketing price of energy would likely not be near as bad if so many countries that could exploit oil and gas reserves chose not to do so and instead rely on places like Russia and Saudi Arabia. Stopping fracking and oil drilling makes no sense to me while asking hostile countries to produce more for us at the same time. Trudeau doesn't really have a plan other than to proclaim electric cars will solve everything. Nothing about how realistic that is or how our grid simply is not up to the task. Nothing about the enormous obstacles in recycling batteries either. That goes back to being pragmatic, or not. All politicians perform to their base and only tell people what they want to hear.Trudeau is no exception, he caters mostly to naive progressives.
