I disagree. The earth can support and sustain a maximum population of 1.5 billion. Christianity is in decline and in the free market of theology, Islam is growing. That is because Islam responds to the needs of the faithful better than Christianity. To deny people the right to choose how they whorship God is socialism. "Promotion" of homosexuality is ridiculous. Around 10% of people are gay. That is a percentatage that has been constant. You cannot persuade anyone to be gay. They just are. Deus Vult. You appear to be opposed to feminism, and the right of women to have the right to make their own decisions regarding reproduction. You advocate socialism where people don't have the right to make their own decisions. Your opposition to people having the right to choose to terminate their own life also socialistic. Your term "feminizing the military" contradicts your advocacy of Christianity. The military is trained to kill people. Right or wrong, that is a contradiction of Christian, Zoroastrian and Jewish doctrine. ie. Thou Shalt not Kill. There were no qualifacations to that commandment.

Thank you for letting us know. Some times we make errors in judgement . For myself, I am just happy it was all a misunderstanding.

Of course it depends on your point of view. The French Revolution, like most wars, was a tragedy. The issues were already underway to reform the political system to create a constitutional Monarchy. You under estimate Napoleon's contribution to society. He modernized the delivery of healthcare, science and brought in the metric system. Immigration is a Christian act. There are millions of people who are living in regions of the world that are no longer habitable. The are leaving a life surrounded by poverty, chaos and violence. They have to go somewhere, and Europe is the logical destination. Would Jesus turn away anyone in need? The mass migration from the south is only going to increase into a tsunami of humanity. MAiD is a choice that each of us should be able to make. It is a matter of freedom of choice. To take that freedom away is socialism. The issue of women's right to reproductive choice has been argued to death. The issue of sending western troops into Ukraine may be a signal to the tyrant Putin that his actions are going to lead to War. In the absence of American support, it is now up to Europe to ensure Ukraine's freedom and independence.

That is terrible news. I haven't heard anything about this. What happened?

I've received 6 Pfizer covid 19 vaccine doses and one Moderna. I have had no adverse effects. Most of the people in my building are seniors and have had multiple vaccinations with no adverse affects. I haven't heard of anyone I know having had adverse effects. On the other hand, I do know of two people who declined to get vaccinated who suffered from long covid. What does the author of the OP suggest we should have done to respond to a virus that has killed seven million people?

When I lived in Trail, BC, my cousin in Vancouver told her teacher that I lived way up north in a place called Trail. Trail is less than 10 km from the 49th parallel. People in the lower mainland think once you get past Hope, you're in Alberta. Except, sanwiched in that border is a little valley called the Okanagon. British Columbia is a brand new name. The nations who have called the area home, from the Ahousaht on the Island to the Sinixt in the southern interior, to the Tlingit in the north, had many names for their land for 12000 plus years. I love the name British Columbia because I am a militant Monarchist. If we must change the name, "Salish" would be appropriate since that was the dominant linguistic demographic for most of the south at least.

You should be.

18 months is only a few months. 😎🎈🎉 I guess you and I have a different perspective on time. They say time passes quickly when you are enjoying yourself. I'm having a blast. "Don't be so gloomy. After all it's not that awful. You know what the fellow said – in Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace – and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock." Orson Weles as Harry Lyme in the Third Man

Leader Of His Majesty's Loyal Opposition, Pierre Poilievre and the CPC are still holding steady with only a loss of 4 seats to the Liberals. (Canada 338) Pierre is still looking at a super majority on the level of John Diefenbaker and Brian Mulroney. Let's be patient. In a few months, we won't have a carbon tax (or rebate), we'll have lower taxes, a lot more spending on defence, healthcare and higher education, no inflation and lower crime. What on earth are some of you going to talk about?

Pretty good actually. I would say the crash and burn of the Liberals is a dead cert.

While I am opposed to the denigration of Sir John A., and as a person who was born and raised in the most privileged segment of society, I am not in a position to comment on the school curriculum, you keep banging on about gender. What the poll shows is that a majority of Canadians are opposed to freedom and the Mr. Groot is obsessed with other people's gender. Why do you care so much about gender? For the first time in history, we have the ability to match our physical gender with our psychological gender. That is something to celebrate. What you refer to as woke is freedom. Are you saying you are anti-freedom?

The point still stands, Khrushchev was deterred. DISCLAIMER: In matters of military affairs, I defer to Doug and Army Guy for their expertise. I am an amature academic. "Wars begin when you will, but they do not end when you please." – Niccolò Machiavelli "No battle plan survives first contact with the enemy." – Helmuth von Moltke "The belief in the possibility of a short decisive war appears to be one of the most ancient and dangerous of human illusions." – Robert Lynd In these discussions on combat, I tend to have a cavalier regard to the lives of innocent civilians and conscripts who die in battle.

MAD did work in the Cuban Missile Crisis when Khrushchev looked into the depths of the hell he and JFK were about to unleash and he backed away, had his political teeth kicked in and he smiled. He sacrificed his pride and career so the rest of us could live because he knew that Kennedy was resolute. "We will not prematurely or unnecessarily risk the costs of worldwide nuclear war in which even the fruits of victory would be ashes in our mouth," President John F. Kennedy

Then, we should be correcting that. War has never solved the problem it was supposed to address (Except World War II). When Presidents Putin, Trump and Xi have to face the fact that war means they and the rest of us will die within a month of opening hostilities, the hope is they will choose life for themselves. The alternative is surrender. The choice is, is it better to die a free person, or live as a slave. My personal view has shifted when I turned 75 and the concept of death went from the abstract to the reality. Life is very precious Most of the issues that have caused major wars ended up being solved at the conference table. Whether Quebec was British or French was decided by the French trading Quebec for Guadeloupe at the conference table, not the Battle of the Plains of Abraham.

By even contemplating the scenario where a Russian incursion on any NATO member could be answered by anything other than a total nuclear response to destroy Russia completely is an invitation to go to war. The whole purpose of MAD is to prevent war. President Reagan's most useful policy was to convince the Soviets that he was crazy enough to destroy the world if they stepped out of line. That is a policy that must continue. Any war between Russia and NATO will be nuclear. (Same with China) The only way to truly deter them from making a mistake is to continue with the determination to destroy the world rather than surrender. Actually, there is one alternative. Make it clear that any incursion will be answered by an immediate and total surrender.

What has Trudeau Derangement Syndrome got to do with Amarican politics? ✌️

It is a condition, not an illness. It likely is established inutero. And what is the treatment? "Hormone therapy, such as feminizing hormone therapy or masculinizing hormone therapy Surgery, such as feminizing surgery or masculinizing surgery to change the chest, external genitalia, internal genitalia, facial features and body contour..." Why is this an issue? Why is there no issue around F2M trans? Do you have an issue with crossdressers?

After the Great War, the Director of Military Operations and Intelligence, Colonel J. Sutherland (Buster) Brown, was ordered to draw up plans for the next war Canada would be involved in. Defence Scheme Number One was Canada's only war plan from 1920 - 1930. In 1970, a grad student doing research in the US Army archives discovered Plan 1919. On Jan. 20, 2025, there may be a change in Canada - US relations. This is far fetched, but we have had to repel American invasions in the past.

The reality of an American invasion would be , we would resign ourselves to it and send 16 Democrats to the Senate, 40 more to the House, and in about 12 years, a Canadian in the Whitehouse. We may not have a large military, but what the Germans and Japanese are to engineering and the Americans are to marketing, Canadians are to politics. You may not like our politicians but we do politics better than any othe nation in the world, from MacDonald to MacKenzie King to Poilievre, politics is our specialty. "President Pierre Poilievre." It has a nice ring to it. Every time the US Army went in to a tinpot little country (TPLC), it would be preceded by a message, "Sorry."

Being trans-sexual is not a mental illness. That being said, a major part of the process to transition is a rigorous psychological assessment.

I thought we all just bought Playboy for the articles.

I do know several people who have undergone GRS and none have regretted it. There was one individual in the news who regretted it but when you consider the hoops one has to jump through, all designed to avoid such an outcome. The Menard clinic in Montreal requires a patient to live at the clinic for a full month before surgery, to undergo exhaustive analysis to ensure the surgery is truly what they need.
