Liberal Party Leadership Race

Yes, an easy decision. Pierre Poilievre. -
https://thefederalist.com/2025/01/10/u-k-grooming-gangs-scandal-could-happen-in-the-u-s-thanks-to-leftist-justice-system/ Despite years of reports about these crimes, local officials turned a blind eye to what was happening in dozens of cities. Police refused to investigate. In multiple cases, the police arrested fathers who had tracked down the locations used by the rape gangs to abuse young girls. In others, the victims found themselves arrested for “breach of the peace” while the perpetrators got off scot-free. The British Home Office, the office within the British government responsible for law and order, advised in 2008 against the prosecution of “grooming gang” members, claiming that their victims had “made an informed choice about their sexual behavior.” British leftists hurled accusations of racism and Islamophobia at those who tried to speak up. And, of course, the British media joined in lockstep with politicians to downplay and bury the stories. Even so-called “conservatives” helped cover it up. Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson said in 2019 that further investigation into the crimes would be a waste of time, and his government claimed that releasing the government’s official review of the scandal to the public was not in the “public interest.” Why? Officials wanted to maintain good “community relations,” which is code for maintaining racial harmony with Britain’s large immigrant Muslim population.

Are you saying there is no problem in the UK with rape gangs that seem to largely consist of men that are of Pakistani origin?

Perhaps if they did manage the forests better or didn't cut the LA fire department budget or spend too much time and effort on DEI and other nonsense?

If Libs of TikTok puts up actual videos made by actual Libs, how is that misrepresenting anything? If Libs post these things on TikTok, it's reasonable to assume that they want a big audience. And Libs of TikTok shows them to an even wider audience. It's not altered or filtered either. Shouldn't you be pleased that more Americans get to see how Libs think? Surely you're not embarrassed by them are you?

Lying under oath? Shouldn't that be a rather big deal? https://www.businessinsider.com/fani-willis-credibility-damaged-perjury-charges-unlikely-legal-experts-2024-3?op=1 A cursory examination of the Steele Dossier should have convinced the CIA or the FBI that it was fake news. Any residual doubt would have vanished after learning that its author, Christopher Steele, was an opposition researcher paid by the Democrats to dig up dirt on Trump. That our most sophisticated government officials acted as if the Dossier were legitimate leads to only one conclusion. They were a knowing and willing part of the Democratic and media smear of a presidential contender, and then president, that paralyzed U.S. politics for three years. We now know that the Steele Dossier is bogus. Inspector General Michael Horowitz drove the final stake through its heart. He found that the Dossier was compiled from hearsay and third-hand gossip from two low-level sources and that they denied the testimony attributed to them. The only “verified” information that Horowitz found was available from public sources. Let me spare you the trouble of responding to this: LMAO...FOS LIES...Duh🙄

Correction. Libs of TikTok, while it may be run by conservative influencers, is in fact a compilation of videos that have been uploaded by actual Libs.

If you want to see who is really feeling the hate, go watch a few hours of Libs of TikTok. See what kind of things they say about assassination attempts on Trump or Trump winning the election.

Wrong. https://www.forbes.com/sites/zacharysmith/2022/04/08/capitol-riot-costs-go-up-government-estimates-273-million-in-property-damage/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2022/02/22/fact-check-thousands-black-lives-matter-protesters-arrested-2020/6816074001/ Damages caused by the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests were estimated to cost $2 billion, a number that could "still go higher," according to a February 2021 report published on the World Economic Forum's website. The report was authored by the head of Property Claim Services, which has tracked protest-related insurance claims for decades. The group found that 2020 protests cost more than any other period of unrest in American history, as the average cost of demonstrations since 1950 has been about $90 million annually.

Breaking News: Trudeau expected to resign Monday.
ironstone replied to NAME REMOVED's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Yes, I look at that aspect too and have concerns about bringing in people from certain cultures that despise Western values. It bothers me to see newcomers that bring their hatred and spread it on Canadian soil. And it is true that anyone that dares to speak out about this may be subject to onerous new hate speech laws. -
I won't defend the behavior of anyone that engaged in violent behavior on Jan 6. But in terms of sheer numbers, violent act from the left dwarfs that from the right. Have you already forgotten the billions in damages courtesy of BLM/Antifa ?

No good person should wish for that kind of destruction in California. But it is perfectly fair to at least question if that state could have done more to prevent this. And based on things I have seen and read about it, the answer is yes. And lets be clear, the vast majority of the hate is coming from the left.

Breaking News: Trudeau expected to resign Monday.
ironstone replied to NAME REMOVED's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Trudeau's carbon tax has exacerbated the problem of inflation. Any and all goods that are transported now cost more thanks to the ever increasing carbon taxes. Anyone with an ounce of common sense knew that the Liberal policy of mass immigration was going to affect Canadians especially with housing costs and health care wait times and doctor shortages. The Liberals didn't care, they went full steam ahead because they believed it would mean more Liberal voters. Layoffs in the public service are extremely rare compared to the private sector. Public service jobs come with a huge price tag as it generally means they all get a salary for life along with gold plated benefits. I would assume that the majority of the sick and elderly, have direct deposit. I personally don't know anyone that still gets their checks by mail although I'm sure some still do. -

Not having home delivery of mail is an inconvenience considering that Canada Post almost always loses money every year. The bigger picture is the significant rise in the cost of food, shelter, heat, transportation. Trudeau's steadily rising carbon tax certainly plays a role in that rise in cost. Then there is housing and health care, worse because of Trudeau and the Liberals. I'm sure public servants have been very pleased with Trudeau, but that's because he increased the size of the public service massively since 2015.
