  1. Hillary Clinton may be a lot of things but she’s not boorish, course or crass, and she finds herself up against perhaps the crudest man ever to present himself as a representative of the people. - Kelly McParland

      We don't actually know if he actually is the crudest man ever to run or be Potus.  I suspect there are other contenders.  But I agree that he is certainly the largest pig ever to publicly and proudly present himself as such.

      Hey, at least everybody's equal. The teachers/parents/educators who let them abuse their children have as many neurons as said children.

  3. "Racism is not dead, but it is on life support — kept alive by politicians, race hustlers and people who get a sense of superiority by denouncing others as 'racists.'" - Thomas Sowell

  5. Canada has four times more Covid19 deaths than Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong (roughly 450 million people) combined.

      That’s a complete lie.  A huge lie. None of those countries has suffered as much?  New Zealand is in their worst recession in years.

      When did you lose your mind and become a frenzied clown on every issue? New Zealand's unemployment rate is 4%. And excuse me for thinking that its grand total of 25 deaths means they got off lightly. I forgot that dead people don't matter to Trump cult members.

  6. Our country is not perfect. But the reason why millions of people want to come here is because we are one of the most open, tolerant and free societies in history. Those who denigrate our society and see racism everywhere don’t want to improve it. They want to destroy it. Maxime Bernier

  7. What has Margaret Trudeau achieved in life to warrant being paid $250k to give a few pep talks to kids, apart from marrying a prime minister and being the mother of another? Oh, right. That’s how things work in a banana republic. - M Bernier

      I've wondered that too, who on earth would pay to listen to her..   Also wondering when she went back to using the Trudeau name as her married name was Kemper, she also has two kids by him.  Sorta wonder how they are feeling - sorta like chopped liver I would think.

  8. Another poll shows Canadians strongly support values testing for immigrants.

      Another poll totally ignore the issue of how much Leitch's little pet project will cost. When a political opens her mouth and suggest something, if she doesn't back it up with costing data then she should be laughed away.

      You don't get it, do you? We don't CARE what it will cost. The costs will be cheaper, in all respects, than the cost of bringing in thousands and tens of thousands of people who are incompatible with Canadian life.

  10. Biden accuser loves Putin. "President Putin has an alluring combination of strength with gentleness. His sensuous image projects his love for life, the embodiment of grace while facing adversity. It is evident that he loves his country, his people and his job. President Putin’s obvious reverence for women, children and animals, and his ability with sports is intoxicating to American women. President Putin scares the power elite in America because he is a compassionate, caring, visionary leader." Tara Reade

      The price of liberty means taking your chances in the outside world without the nanny-state to protect you. But in a free society you are still free to stay indoors and mask up when going outside. Obviously you would be very safe in a whole-body hazmat outfit.

      Many probably agree but are afraid to say anything.  Immigration levels were okay but Trudeau's plans to substantially increase them is a problem.  Trudeau is losing the argument as a new poll suggests  Trudeau's Liberals are losing the political debate as the issue of illegal border crossers is affecting opinion.

      I recommend a graduated increase in taxes on dividends and capital gains. Leave it as is for those earning less than 100k. Increase the tax by ten percent for those making up to 200k. Increase the tax by 50% for those making up to 250k. For those above that level there should be no distinction in income. Dividends and capital gains earnings should be fully taxed as income.

      They also need to go through the tax code to weed out all those loopholes the wealthy have paid to have inserted over the years. And I say this as a conservatives because the figure I quoted above is not something a democratic society can long survive without some hard left agitator winding up in control and smashing everything.

      Sounds good. Kommander Biden may fulfill your prophecy.

      What we need is someone willing to stand up to the massively entrenched System. Someone who is willing to stick their neck out, as they will be totally vilified.  Someone who would break away from the entrenched liberal establishment that has rotted to the core.

      Right now, only Donald Trump is willing to be that man.

    4. Argus

      Donald Trump didn't stand up against anything. Donald Trump presided over an enormous tax cut aimed squarely at his wealthy friends - and himself. The bill also added in extra benefits for real estate developers and removed the wealth tax his kids would have to pay when he dies. Sorry, but if you think Trump cares about anyone but himself you're painfully naive. He has spent his life sucking up to the wealthy and caring not the least bit about anyone else.

  22. 80% of ingredients for prescription drugs come from China and India.

      Disappointing, but I'm not surprised. The only world leader taking the Chinese head-on is Donald Trump. I know you don't like him personally. However, it is a fact that Trump, and he alone, is using economic negotiations to force China to stop companies from producing and distributing fentanyl. No other country is supporting Donald Trump in this initiative.

      I know you don't like him, but right now he's the only hope there is to stop this mad freight train we're on, in regards to trade with the Chinese. We've all been saying it for years, but no leader ever had the balls to do something. The door to criticism of China and holding them accountable is now open, thanks to the bad repugnant man who dwells in the Whitehouse. Given the political climate we are in, only such a man can make these changes now.

    2. Argus

      Trump has no idea what he's doing, which is why he's getting no results. The way to get China to do something is NEVER to openly, bluntly make demands. That just doesn't work. You want to block fentanyl, just start doing very intense searches on ships carrying Chinese goods - intensive enough they're backed up for weeks waiting to offload. And when the Chinese complain you act very apologetic, and say that you have no choice because of the fentanyl, but that you'll certainly try to do better and hire more people.

      Won't be too long before China starts cracking down on fentanyl sales and exports.

      We could do the same, btw, except Trudeau has no balls or spine.

  23. 9/16 The United States has the highest number of covid19 cases in the world and the highest number of deaths. India is doing WAY better!

      All skilled immigrants must take a language test to show they are proficient in English or French.

      If there is a refugee crisis, you don't teach them English before you take them in.  That's sheer stupidity.

      Before 2012, about 75 per cent of the firearms were trafficked from the United States. By 2017, however, about half originated from domestic sources, putting an end to the idea that most of Canada's illegal guns come from across the border

      That story has long been discredited. It's based on a single assertion from a single police officer after a single seizure of weapons. It rocketed to the top of the progressive news media's favorite regurgitated news items, though, because they are all clamoring for a ban on guns.
