  1. "That stops now!".

    Trump declares inner city crime, violence, gangs, and drug problems over. Wow. Talk about a man of power! Guess the police can go home now. Why didn't Obama ever think of that? Guess it'll be pretty peaceful in Chicago this weekend.

      ^^I highly doubt thats the plan.  Whatever plan he (or his people) have is gonna be better than Obama's "blame the whitey", "blame the cops" rhetoric.

      I highly doubt that was Obama's plan.  It kind of works both ways.

  2. I'm sorry I was born white and privileged. It disgusts me. And I feel so much shame.

      Tanning salons are seeing an uptick in new membership.

  3. Suncor Energy Inc. says over the next six years it expects to deploy more than 150 electric autonomous haul trucks at its company operated-mines — a move expected to decrease its equipment operator positions as early as 2019.

    And so it begins...

  4. 81% of Black Americans want the same or MORE police in their neighborhoods.

      It shows you how out of touch BLM and the mainstream media are.  You would think it was the exact opposite.  they've completely distorted reality.

  5. A lot of people, especially young ones have no friends at all.

  6. A senior U.N. environmental official says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000.  EEEEK!! :blink:

      Thanks.  Will have to borrow that.

  7. Accusing someone of being a racist is like asking them when they stopped beating their wife. To protest innocence is to protest too much, for the smoke of outrage is seen to confirm the fire of prejudice within. When guilt in thought is presumed, imaginary networks of malignancy and conspiracy are assumed too. The evidence need only establish whether, like the witches of old, the accused is to be burnt or drowned.

  8. Almost 90 percent of the European Jews polled declared they had suffered some violence (including threatening and offensive online messages...phone calls, comments, and gestures, along with actual physical assaults). Thirty percent identified the perpetrator as "someone with an extremist Muslim view," 21 percent as someone with left-wing political views, and 13 percent as someone with right-wing politics.

  9. Alongside Hitler's picture, the card had: "My love 4 u burns like 6,000 Jews".

    It was reportedly signed "XOXO, Courtney".

      While I agree with Argus, Courtney certainly gets her point across.

      When I see the photo I think of that saying by Barack Obama, You can put lipstick on a pig but, it's still a pig.

  11. Boris Johnson flies economy class to his holiday down south. Trudeau, of course, takes a private government jet.

      Trudeau has gone to ground, he's keeping a low profile as he hands work off to Freeland.  Bet there are lots more personal days coming up.

  12. Canadians have paid $1 TRILLION, 100 billion dollars in interest on our federal debt since 1974. And it's only getting worse.

  13. CBC sues Tories for using a few brief clips from the debates, but had no problem last election when the Liberals did it

      CBC can no longer report on the election they should recuse themselves its  election interference their bias  is showing.

  14. CBC won't sue Liberals for doing what they're suing Conservatives for doing because... just because, damnit!

      I doubt they will risk war over a tiny windswept sheep meadow. At least let's hope. Now back to Trump.

      Best line though? "Fisticuffs and stone throwing broke out between the two sides". Sounds like 2 street gangs, not the two most populous nuclear powers in the world. Hope it just stays thug life.

  16. Chinese never miss a chance to screw and rob people, even if it kills them. That's the culture of China.

      There are laws and standards that corporations have to adhere to.  Corporations, and all businesses.  They also have to respect intellectual property.  Nobody in China does.  No, it definitely IS a China thing.  We don't have the same issues with any other country.  Stop making excuses for their regime.  The one that covered up a deadly virus and then sent it out to the world.

      Plus it's China flooding the world with fake N95 masks. Not the US, not Taiwan, not Vietnam or India or Thailand or Pakistan. China. It's always China.

      Progressives feel if they condemn something then all Canadians do to - because to them, they're the only people who qualify as "Canadians". This wasn't even a case where a minimum ought to apply. If she had been white she'd have likely gotten six years or more.

      If she were white, she would have gotten off Scot free with murder.

      So far New York isn’t treating it as a hate crime.  I’m sure it would totally be the same if it was an alt-right white guy.

  21. Hmmm, just a friendly dinner between one of the moderators for the upcoming leaders debate and Gerry Butts, with both taking notes.

      I don't see the media screaming about this.. is she giving the questions to Butts or is he giving her the questions?  Talk about shady and fixing the debates.  That editor/reporter should step down, now.   They were actually taking notes..  the optics are terrible.

      The problem with NATO is it was focused on one bogey man and they did nothing to keep others from rising up in their midst.
