  1. 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.

  2. The same NBA players who refused to say anything about China and its human rights record, including concentration camps, now want to go on strike because a Black criminal was shot by a cop.

      They didn't care about the mass slaughter in China because they make money there and didn't want to offend the Chinese govenrment. Lebron James makes a fortune from endorsements and merchandise sales there and he led the 'shut up' charge against a coach who dared to offer up a tweet. Don't make it sound like its a faraway land to them. They had just come back from playing a game there.

      And no, I don't much care what happens to criminals who fight with the police. Too bad, but play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

      If the guy who got shot was white nobody would have ever heard of this. And Lebron James and the rest of the overpaid ball players wouldn't have paid the slightest attention if they had.

      Like this guy.  Weird how when white people are killed it’s never a big story.

      US policy shouldn't effect you at all. 

      Except for Aluminum tariffs, perhaps.  

  5. Is anyone surprised Trump had to pay someone to take his SAT test? Does anyone not think he paid others to take his tests while in college?

      I've thought it many times. I just cannot figure any way a guy as ignorant as he is about basic facts of business, economics and government could be a college graduate. Especially from Wharton. He failed to do the most basic, elementary assessments before getting into businesses like airlines and gambling and almost lost his shirt repeatedly because of it.

    3. Shady

      True.  It still doesn't make me want to support Biden, a candidate that supports unlimited immigration, restricting fossil fuel use, raising taxes and regulation, soft on China, etc.  His normal demeanor and pleasant attitude aren't enough to want him to beat Trump.  I'll take the a-hole idiot who's against all of that bullshit policy.

    4. Argus

      Argus

      My belief is that if the present guy is bad you go for the alternative. Then next time around you get a different alternative. Trump is an idiot. Biden doesn't support unlimited immigration. Let's get real here. I doubt he'll be soft on China, but he might be more intelligent on them. Nothing Trump has done has actually had any effect. And hey, if he does go all in on immigration and such it'll piss people off so much he'll lose congress just two years later, and then the white house will go back to the Republicans two years after that - provided they find a sane nominee.

      Would you feel a little sick to your stomach to imagine some pedophile watching you or your sister, while beating his meat?  If so, maybe there is value in encouraging advertisers to avoid displaying images that sick people could use in their fantasy world.  Asking that of advertisers doesn't seem to be "ordering our society" around perverts; it seems more like reducing the opportunity of having kids exploited for someone's sexual pleasure.

      Of course, there are much more extreme examples our society could address - child beauty pageants come to mind.

      Yet it’s ok for the LGBT community to dress up children like strippers.  Or worse, have strippers preform for children.

      I don't think it's ok; do you have some proof that there's widespread acceptance of this?

  9. Trump continues to demonstrate what a grubby little no-class putz he is.

  11. The radical left still screaming and trying to pull down statues 2 months after some black junkie criminal was killed in Minneapolis.

  12. 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.

      Yeah, but she won't say which one - says it wasn't Mike Jagger.    Speaking about Trudeau's half brother, guess he's not entirely chopped liver.  Your Tax Dollars At Work: Trudeau's Half-Brother Got $12,430 Government Contract.

      It's an attempt to minimize the Slavery in the US by pointing a finger at other groups and saying, "SEE THEY DID IT TOO!"

      You are not contextualizing anything.

    3. Argus

      Argus

      It's an attempt at context, and a rebuttal to the progressive narrative that European/white culture is irredeemably racist and evil. Progressives focus solely on the misdeeds in the history of the white world and never allow for the fact they were actually MORE enlightened, and gentler than most of the rest of the world. Just like they focus on isolated acts of racism in America or Canada but ignore the vastly more common racism among non-white people elsewhere - or even here. We are the least racist countries on Earth but to hear the Left talk we're worse than anyone else.

      So your are arguing against something entirely made up in your own head. Good to know. I’ll wait till you have an actual argument other than a strawman.

  15. Some of you have done NOTHING with your life and you're mad. You have a college degree & a smart phone with access to virtually *anything* and you can barely get out of bed in the morning while you spit on people who built a whole world with nothing but a horse, map, & axe.

      Are you calling Lindsey Graham a liar!?:o

  17. 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

  18. I will continue to fight for the ideal of a free society where we all have equal rights. But I am NOT going to express shame for crimes I did not commit, feel guilt because of my gender and the colour of my skin, or submissively kneel before any group or for any cause. = Maxime Bernier

  19. Spammers are busy tonight...

  20. I think the CBC plans to interview every black person in Canada to talk about their outrage at living in a terrible, sick, racist society.

    1. OftenWrong

      OftenWrong

      Let's face it, it's being used as an attack on Donald Trump. Even the CBC loves doing that.

      Because somehow they think Trump is responsible for this guy's death.

      And while Trump is is a moron, he's not responsible for that and probably has done more for black American than Obama.

      I found it rather disturbing for the PM to say that my culture was irredeemably racist & privileged. Who knew it was ALL my fault?

      Anyways...sorry guys. I won't create viruses, start riots, loot stores or kneel on anymore black men's necks...anymore. I promise!

      Looks like a contest between CBC and CTV.   When interviews get on - I automatically switch elsewhere.

  21. Get that bloody dog off the damned porch!

  22. Still not a shred of evidence that racism played a role in the death of George Floyd.

  23. Apparently social distancing is no longer important in Montreal, Toronto or Vancouver. Thousands jammed together, shoulder to shoulder to decry American racism towards Americans.

    2. Argus

      Yep. I guess life and death gets pushed aside when something important shows up, like protesting against imaginary racism in another country.

  24. There is no evidence the killing of George Floyd was racially motivated. Or even related to racism. The media have simply gone with their own beliefs and stated them as fact.
