    The risk of an unvaccinated person catching the disease is far higher. Which means the risk they will infect others is much higher. and the risk they will fill up hospital spots is much, MUCH higher since not only are they more likely to get it they are way more likely to need hospitalization.
  2. Argus
    They fill up hospitals. That is a threat to public health as people can't get necessary treatment for other illnesses.

    Alberta is already postponing operations because of all the unvaccinated idiots jamming hospitals. In Oklahoma, people who have been shot are having to be put aside while they deal with the flood of morons who poisoned themselves with horse dewormer.

    Maybe it just demonstrates the opponents are NOT reasonable.

    This is utter nonsense. The new variants began appearing well before vaccines were released.
  6. Argus
    Of course, if the idiot unvaccinated would GET vaccinated, those restrictions would be a lot fewer.

    You really re taking the weirdest stance I've seen on this site, and that's really a high bar to surpass. O'Toole clearly isn't anything like Trudeau nor would he govern anything like Trudeau. He's not conservative enough to suit me but he's one hell of a lot less of an arrogant snot of a progressive identity politics idiot than Trudeau.

    The purists are mostly anti-abortion, and will not find a home in the PPC. A lot of them are from out West, too, and will have no love of a party with a very Quebecois leader. The only thing the PPC really has going for it is their promise to lower immigration.

    Why do western countries(UK, New Zealand) shelter foreigners they know have ISIS sympathies? Both countries spent a fortune on round the clock surveillance so their police could kill them when they started stabbing people. Why not just throw them the hell out?

      There’s this thing called Due Process, mkay?

      They're foreigners! Throw them the hell out! Screw the 'due process'. The whole immigration and refugee system needs to be remade under the notwithstanding clause.

    What it all boils own to is we need to get as many people vaccinated as possible because we have a crappy health care system which can't cope with even the number of unvaccinated who are getting hospitalized. I honestly don't care what happens to the unvaccinated, but they will wind up in hospital, and we know that people suffering other ailments have died due to the way covid has overstretched our crappy health care system. People's treatment and surgery has been delayed due to the influx of morons with covid who never got vaccinated in other jurisdictions and we don't want that happening here as we try to recover from the delays caused by the previous waves.

    I wrote one post in a topic called 'what I think of donald trump' and it has gotten over 600 views. Who are all these people?? We don't seem to have more than a couple of dozen members who post here.

    One would logically expect that someone who is a conservative would usually vote conservative. Not being able to remember doing so would seem to throw your self-designation into some doubt.
  13. Argus
    Oh yes, yes, you are so much better than us. Being a rabid ideologue is far more noble than being the halfhearted supporter of the only party which seems capable of running the place competently. In sha'Allah

    He did not actually say he'd ever voted conservative. Just that he could one day, perhaps, in the fullness of time.

    The Liberals fired Major General Danny Fortin because of a 32 year old allegation he had exposed himself to a girl while in college. Trudeau sanctimoniously proclaimed he has a zero tolerance policy for sexual harassment the day after a Tory candidate quit over an allegation he tried to put his hand under a woman's skirt at a party. Then it's pointed out to him one of his candidates had multiple complaints of sexual harassment from four different women and suddenly, oh, well, those bitches must have experienced things differently. https://ottawacitizen.com/news/politics/election-2021/liberals-allow-ontario-mp-to-run-for-re-election-despite-harassment-allegations

    Trudeau has a zero tolerance for sexual harassment or assault! Unless it's a Liberal candidate of course!

    Anti Vaxxers don't trust dozens of reports, scores of government agencies and thousands of scientists and doctors but let some doofus on FOX news tell them to take horse dewormer to prevent covid and they're like "ONE HUNDRED PERCENT PROVEN!!!""

      They won't take a vaccine hundreds of billions have safely taken but they'll flock to buy a dewormer because of a debunked study.

    I didn't bother to state the difference in the same way I don't bother to 'prove' water is a liquid. It's bloody obvious. The arrogant, smarmy sense of superiority isn't there. The constant referrals to identity politics aren't there. The policies on natural resource development and pipelines are completely different. As are their policies towards freedom of speech on the internet, firearms laws and the need to balance the budget.

    All of that, unfortunately, starts with more independence for MPs. As long as leaders decide everything from where their MPs' offices go, to what international trips the get to go on, to what committees (if any) they sit on, to who does and does not get to run again MPs will have to do as they're told. British and Australian MPs have a degree of independence from their leader Canadian MPs can only dream about. That is because MPs are considered the representative of their constituencies to the House, whereas here they are considered the representative of the political party to their constituents. That's not to say there isn't party discipline there, too. They just tend to use it less often than in Canada.

    No, it manifestly is not. It's dumb to even suggest it is.
  22. Argus
    Because as long as you have been on this site I have considered you a hard-core Liberal supporter, and you've never written anything which has led me to doubt that. Like whom? I don't really even like O'Toole, but I don't see any alternative for a conservative to vote for. You are in Toronto. And the Greens are busy destroying each other over transgenderism, racism and Israel. Like what? That suggests you live in a bubble made up almost entirely, if not entirely, of people on the Left. That's an odd self-selected group of friends and acquaintances for a conservative to have. My best friends are a Liberal and a Conservative but I have many acquaintances and friends all across the political spectrum. I don't choose friends - or posts to read - by their politics.
  23. Argus
    I told you, I read what you write in other places. Here, you've called yourself a 'conservative' but there you said you would not vote for O'Toole, the most left wing leader the Tories have had since Clark. and I know you're not into the PPC since you called Bernier an idiot several times. That leaves the Liberals. Unless the guy who calls himself a conservative is voting for the NDP...
  24. Argus
    I would say the change has come with the CPC platform and Erin O'Toole being able to present himself as a reasonable, stable, intelligent alternative. There has been little enthusiasm for boy Trudeau for some time.
  25. Argus
    Hmm, it was my impression you are a Liberal supporter. No?
