That's literal/objective stupidity. When you invoke "cancel-culture" as a defense against something that idiotic, it proves how frivolously you throw the term around and how meaningless you make it. Like the boy that cried "Wolf", you resort to "WOKE CANCEL-CULTURE TOTALITARIANS" far too freely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queenmandy85 Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 Prime Minister Trudeau is pretty safe. With the CPC in chaos, the only threat to him is Jagmeet Singh. With the CPC's appeasement policy, they are giving every special interest group licence to create national deadlock this summer. Don't plan on getting anywhere.

Don't plan on getting anywhere. There is another threat. His own decisions and actions, fuelled by arrogance and dictator tendencies. What’s the Canadian equivalent of impeachment?

A non-confidence vote in Parliament, or the PM’s own party replacing the PM. Do you think either one is likely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they were being brought in fast from Africa? Slavery didn't end in the South until 1865...at the point of a gun. Plus if you know your history, slavery wasn't just an American problem. It's a global problem that still exists that you do absolutely nothing to stop. Thems the hard facts. Slavery is okay if it doesn't interfere with your politics. Either way, you can pretend that flocks of people slaving in fields is more efficient if you must...for whatever purpose you're trying to further. They aren't. Cotton, tobacco, sugar cane, etc were all about making money. And the smart money was on automation and modernization. So there it went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet there were more slaves in the country than ever, and growing. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7716878/ So was slavery really on the downturn? The data contradicts your assertion.
