  1. What are Republicans doing that is comparable to the mullahs of Iran? Are women in red states subjected to the same kind of treatment that women in Iran are? Seriously?
  2. I could have tried to post the entire list, but it might have caused system overload on our computers😉
  3. The list I posted must have made you extremely uncomfortable. 1 'White bogeymen can't hold a candle to Islamic terrorists(all terrorist acts are horrible) 2 Utter nonsense. It was Democrat administrations that enabled the worlds largest state sponsor of Islamic terrorism, Iran
  4. I was actually shocked to see that lol. These numbers are staggering. According to Fondapol, a French think tank, between 1979 and May 2021, at least 48,035 Islamist terrorist attacks took place worldwide, causing the deaths of at least 210,138 people.

  6. And the Liberals also allow people as young as 14 to vote in this leadership race. That is just nuts.
  7. Mob boss? Did you express any concerns when the son of the current president was shaking down high level foreign officials for cash?
  8. Nasty. Typical leftist rage rears its ugly head yet again. You have a capacity for understatement. The election results were not exactly the definition of 'squeak out a win'.
  9. Democracy seems to fail in America only when the Democrats lose.
  10. Was there anyone on the left complaining about Twitter when they were censoring conservatives?
  11. And in present day Canada, certain people are shooting at Jewish schools. This kind of hatred is getting worse. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/bnai-brith-antisemitic-report-record-high-1.7195197
  12. Most of the people appointed to the Senate by Trudeau have ties to the Liberal party and continue to vote with the Liberals more often than not.
  13. If PP wins, he will have to contend with the Liberal dominated Senate. It's a given that they will do everything they can to stop him, even if he manages to get a huge majority.
  14. If he does resign, it will change things. To what extent we won't know for a while. The prospect of a new leader will be enticing for progressives even as they ignore the fact that the policies are unlikely to change. Lipstick on a pig. And if that resignation comes this week, then Canadians will probably have to wait until October.
  15. This man does not meet the criteria to be considered a tyrant, especially compared to a certain Kim dynasty in certain neighboring country.
  16. Poilievre sitting down with Jordan Peterson= millions of views Trudeau sitting down with This Hour has 22 minutes= comparatively speaking, a relative handful of views If Trudeau wants to appeal to more Canadians by doing interviews on platforms that reach a vastly bigger audience, he can do it. But he won't.
  17. Except for the possible overconfidence, I was impressed with PP in that interview. I have no idea who that woman is, and based on what she said right from the get go I decided to see the interview in it's entirety rather than a 9 minute summary from her. I would urge others to watch the full interview themselves and draw their own conclusions.
  18. I had to turn off that clip at 40 seconds because that diva was nauseating. I watched the full interview on Peterson's Daily Wire channel. My main critique is that they are acting as though it's a sure thing that PP is going to win. That could be dangerous and a lot can change from now until the election. What statistics was he using deceptively? So what if Peterson has pro-life ads? The numbers of anti-Semitic incidents are rather high these days so one has to wonder about Canada bringing in lot's of people from a region where there is intense hatred of Israel and Jews in general.
  19. Progressives always complain about how racist Western nations are, but are at a loss to explain why millions upon millions of black and brown people are willingly going to live in those same countries.
  20. PP sits down for an hour and 40 minute interview while Justin does a few minutes on This Hour has 22 minutes. I suppose the latter is more suitable for the average attention span of progressives.
  21. Demand for oil is going up in case you haven't noticed. And you don't think it's the least bit hypocritical of Carney to support shutting down Canadian pipelines while investing in, and profiting from, pipelines in the UAE and Brazil?
