    You will recall a out that time the GOP was already being less than cooperative on investigating anything related to border security unless they could take credit both for it failing or winning. 

    So, the Democrats had the White House, Senate and the House for a period of time...but the fact that they didn't use that power to address the border mess is...still the fault of Republicans???

    By your logic, the Democrats can never be held accountable under any circumstances.

    That's for traditional press, not electronic press. Canadian newspapers are by and large conservative, led by the National Post and Globe and Mail. 

     

    So are you asserting that the National Post Kisses Trudeau's ass? CTV was mentioned in the OP.  That was founded by two conservative families working together. The Globe and Mail founded by the Thompsons... NP Conrad black...

     

     

    "Additionally, the legacy media company FP Newspapers Inc. received $6.2 million in taxpayer funds from the Liberal government"

     

     

    I'm not saying all the MSM supports Trudeau. I'm of the opinion that on the whole, the MSM is rather left leaning and they should not be receiving money from the government. Let them sink or swim on their own.

    What MSM aside from CBC is federally funded?

    It's not that easy to find. https://tnc.news/2021/08/11/liberals-hide-names-of-media-companies-given-61-million-in-subsidies/

    There are some strings attached however. They do want the recipients to adopt DEI.

    If there is a choice between layoffs, or taking the handout, I can't blame them for taking the money. But who are they going to shill for? Trudeau who is now paying them, or PP who wants to stop it?

    The mighty Israeli  military with all their people and specialists and Mossad and equipment cannot find the leaders and just take care of them. Instead they need to bomb, raid and kill 30000 men, women and children in hospitals, schools and refugee camps and blockade any food, medical equipment and support to the citizens.

    Pretty f'd up and you wonder why Palestinians are gaining support from all over the world??

    How long did it take for the US to find Bin Laden?

    The IDF gives advance warning before they attack, plenty of time for 'civilians' to get out. You greatly underestimate how much control Hamas has in Gaza and over the people that live there. Hamas controls what journalists are allowed and not allowed to see. It's also Hamas that controls how much aid gets to the people...after they take their usual cut of course.

    Triggered or what? Anyone who gives a damn what some influencer says should give their head a good shake.

    Used to be stupid opinions in the Letters to the Editor section back inn the days people had to actually make an effort to write and mail opinions. Any bozo can talk into their phone.

    Team Biden is paying social media influencers because they clearly think their base will believe them.

    Aha...there is the bias. You Canadian or an Israeli citizen??

    They did leave, on Oct 7.

    You don't believe that Hamas uses their own people as human shields? Or that when they fight, they are almost always in civilian clothing?

    As I have shown with those links, there is very strong evidence.

    I see the protests as defiance and being pissed off that Israel has bombed Gaza for 3 months and killed 20 to 30,000 people. Most all being civilians and women and children, has prevented aid form getting to the millions of refugees living in squalor. Even the US has begin aid by ship and built ports to be able to deliver aid  because Israel has all but cut off road access.

    I am equally upset that Israel has not stopped the bombing and is planning more raids and will not even sit to discuss cease fire. It seems that Israel is doing it's utmost to wipe out hamas regardless of the cost of civilian life.

    The number of people killed that were actually civilians is questionable, but who to blame is not.

  8. The UAW has declined quite a bit from it's peak in 1979 though. The US population has certainly grown substantially since that time, but membership has been shrinking.

    https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2023/09/15/uaw-membership-numbers-through-years/70865885007/

    It still seems to be in decline. From 1.5 million in 1979, down to 370,000 presently.

    Some things never change with unions :  https://www.autonews.com/static/section/content01.htm

    The word union and corruption often go hand in hand.

    I don't see how you could arrive at any indication that President Biden is involved ...he has no part at all in making border laws, that's up to the House and Senate.  He only gets involved when the bill has been hashed to death by the two parts and the MAGA's have stuck their paw in everything to try and screw it up.

    https://www.voanews.com/a/usa_biden-signs-executive-orders-reversing-trump-immigration-policies/6201520.html

    He can do more, but he wants to frame it as entirely the fault of the Republicans. Ideally, he wants to appear to be doing something, while still allowing the southern border to remain open.

    If tax are high it is because of right wing governments like Harper and Trudeau don't care to borrow billions from rich and we got to reimburse that. And second, Jesus changed the rules of the old testament because they were coming from the devil.

    Justin Trudeau is not right wing, he and his government are far left.

    Depends on if you live in the area of effect for the MAGA uprising. It's very likely that Jan 6 was not a one time deal. That's just how the cult works. Trump>Democracy. And Trump will egg them on to feed his ego.

    I would avoid any city center the day after the election.

    Jan 6 was a bad day, but it wasn't by any stretch the worst day for the country. It was a small riot perpetrated by a small group of fools. They have been harshly dealt with, as well as many others who were entirely peaceful.

    The problem is inherently a left-wing thing. You guys over-react to just about everything because of your need for safe spaces, your fear of micro-aggressions, anxiety issues, trigger warnings, everything is racist, white privilege and on and on it goes.

    Freud would have a field day with you guys and your long list of phobias.

    I mean, Paula was suing for harrassment where as Stormy was paid to be quiet. So I'm going to say Paula pay-off was morally more malicious than the sortid Stormy shush money

    Porn star Stormy Daniels, who has recently made headlines with reports that she had an affair with Donald Trump before he became president, has issued a statement denying that the affair took place.

    In the statement, the authenticity of which has been verified with a representative of Daniels, states, “Over the past few weeks I have been asked countless times to comment on reports of an alleged sexual relationship I had with Donald Trump many, many, many years ago.”

    The statement continues, “The fact of the matter is that each party to this alleged affair denied its existence on 2006, 2011, 2016, 2017 and now again in 2018. I am not denying this affair because I was paid ‘hush money’ as has been reported in overseas owned tabloids. I am denying this affair because it never happened.”

    No, I decided none of the other networks have LIED to the extent of FOS LIES which had to pay $800M penalty for LYING.

    Other networks make retractions. None of the right wing propaganda sites ever do unless they LOSE lawsuits which forces them.

    Do you understand now? 

    FOX isn't the only news network that's been sued and had to pay damages.

    All of them. I've even watched FOS LIES when visiting a friend who was a fan.

    That's how I found out about their LIES. And reading about the Dominion discovery and them winning the $800M settlement.

    So you even watch FOX, but you decided that they tell lies, and none of the other networks do?

    I watch a little FOX sometimes, I like Mark Levin and MediaBuzz on Sundays. Most shows on the major networks talk about the same stories, one after the other.

    In fact, Iran only used 10% of its combat missile capacity. It was just a warning to Israel of what will happen next if Israel continues to provoke Iran.

     

    If Israel continues to provoke Iran??? Iran has an extremely well deserved reputation for sponsoring terrorism against Israel and the US and others. Just listen to the hate filled rhetoric that the Ayatollah's regularly spew out.

    Trump just set the stage by negotiating our SURRENDER to the Taliban, and letting Putin and Netanyahu have EVERYTHING THEY WANTED.

    Who was the man in charge that ended up arming the Taliban with billions in military hardware?

    Which man wanted to stop the Iran deal and who wanted to keep handing checks to the Ayatollah's?

    Are worldwide tensions demonstrably higher under Biden or not?
