It is a simple question of numbers. Canada's magnificent wilderness is being negatively impacted by population pressure. We need immigration but I would prefer that it be pegged at slightly less that replacement with priority given to refugees. It is all academic however. We are going to have hundreds of millions of climate refugees moving north from South America, Central America and the southern US. We should be focusing on how we are going to be able to accept them.

Everyone is living on occupied land. England was over run by Danes and Normans. Eastern Ukraine is occupied by Russians. The Blackfeet drove the Kootenai out of south- western Alberta. Everywhere you go, be it India, Africa, Asia or Europe, people are living on conquered land. Colonialism is part of the human condition. The only difference is Canada and the US now recognize that it was wrong. Most other countries don't give a darn. In spite of the colonial condition, this is a great county. Not perfect, but we are striving to be better.

The primary duty of a Conservative is loyalty to the Crown. Does that fit Bernier? Skiing is better than skydiving. In skydiving, you can only go in one direction. A pair of skis will take you anywhere there is snow.

Skiing is the highest form of human endeavour. Canada will not have a Conservative leader. We have not had a Conservative Party since Peter MacKay stabbed the party in the back and sold his soul to socialist credit. If you want desert, stay in Canada and visit Osoyoos. Have a good weekend.

A lot more than Saskatchewan. :-( My favourites are Kimberley, Red Mountain, and Marmot, Alberta. Nancy Green said Kimberley is the best ski hill in the world.

Thank you Audrey. Well said. Doug, in his infinite wisdom is saying people who are smart, people like Stephen Hawking, are left wing. So if that is the case, he is advising us to vote for the left. Therefore, according to Doug, the less intelligent people vote conservative. I don't agree with Doug. ( I rarely do) People on the right and the left are smart enough to see the disaster coming down on us if we don't drastically reduce Carbon emissions.

These last two points are not mine. The despair voiced on this thread appears to be related to politics. It ignores the fact that politics is a sport. It is meant to be fun. Don't take it too seriously. No matter what lable the governing party wears, their policies are dictated by a very narrow range of options. As for immigration, you ain't seen nothing yet. In the future, hundreds of millions of people are going to flooding into Canada from South America, Central America and the southern United States. There is no way we can stop them. Then we will live the experience of the First Nations when a horde of immigrants poured in from Europe; immigrants who refused to assimilate, dressed in strange costumes, and brought a foreign religion that they forced on us. Karma is a harsh mother. So, relax, count your blessings. Only 197 days until the next ski season.

Why Canada is great? We can leave downtown Vancouver on transit to the northshore mountains and in a four hour hike be in the wilderness away from people. We have the best ski hills in the world. We have a stable democratic government. We have a stable economy. We have a pretty good healthcare system. We have the best ski hills in the world. We have incredible wealth distributed among the population. We have a surplus of food. We have low carbon energy reserves to last for millenia. We have the best ski hills in the world.

The winners of the next world war will be the cockroaches.

The quick answer is the American citizens, including the military, have a deep respect for the constitution and the law. People may complain about their government but not enough to remove it by force. It is the same as most western democracies.

Why would the work disappear? Instead of bitumen, we transition to extracting and refining western Canada's uranium and export nuclear power plants. Premier Moe is proposing this.

Sorry, Doug, I just think you can be more effective in persuading people if you moderate your tone. I will try to do the same regarding Social Credit. Cheers.

If you are confused, I prefer "prissy" to "refined."

I need to have my head examined for even thinking of responding to this but here goes. Government has to reflect the nation. Since you are not part of the mainstream, you will continue to be barking at the moon. I would like to give you the benefit of the doubt but believing you are sincere or just trolling is equally of no benefit to you. Your ranting impresses me as a pathetic cry for attention. How does profanity advance any argument?

Doug, I'm sorry, but when someone substitutes name calling and hyperbole for rational argument, I lose interest. (Except where Social Credit is concerned.) As for the CBC, Prime Minister Trudeau will be surprised at the thought the CBC is supporting him. The press has been quite critical of him since the testimony of former Minister Wilson Raybould.

As is living off the avails of prostitution, but prostitution its self is not.

Doug, am I mistaken or are you actually anti-union? Al a union is is a corporation that sell the labour of its stock holders.

FYI: Prostitution is not illegal. I don't think it ever has been.

You must be joking. I never said I hated socialism. I said I hated National Socialism. Communism is responsible for the deaths of tens of million Russians and Chinese.

They even wrote songs about it. Rolf Harris "There were two wild Kelowna boys and Bennett was their name..." Back to the topic, I get the sense that Trudeau is so convinced that anything he does is right and the ends justify the means. He also probably believes it is vital to the country that he remain Prime Minister as nobody else can do the job as well. Thus, ensuring the support of the SNC and Irving corporations is justified in the national (Prime Minister Trudeau's) interest. He's not a bad man. He is just arrogant and just not ready.

What do you call it when the government expropriates profitable private corporations without adequate compensation? It is theft and socialism.

No, Liberals are hypocrites and corrupt. Socilalist Credit( aka communist aka reform aka Canadian Alliance aka CPC) are scum. They ripped off BC for decades under the bolshevik WAC Bennett.

I don't know if this has already mentioned, but Justin Trudeau is half Scottish, 1/4 Anglo-Irish, and 1/4 French. So, basically, he is a Scot.

They elected an NDP government run by 3 Greens. That's pretty loony to me. As for the LNG, it is not so likely to wreck a valley as bitumen. In high school, we were taught to be prepared to have multiple careers. I have worked in the forest industry, consumer lending, surveying, lab technician and as a Peace Officer. Resource extraction is cyclical. Before going in to it, you would think having a couple of back up credentials would be essential. I recognize changing careers is a pain but when work dries up in one place, it is usually booming in another.

The first order of business around the cabinet table after an election is re-election. It is rare to find a government that sets out to loose the next election. These are considerations that every government takes heed of when they consider what action to take.
