herbie Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 Jeez I already live ina 15 minute town. Walk anywhere in town, even in the snow within 15 minutes. Nowhere to go or do though. Not even a pub in town anymore. Red Apple and treat yourself to a Pop Shop and some candy? SaveOn for a $45 steak to bring home? Fields for their Size 8 workboots and men's S shirts?

Oddly enough that's the way I feel about some of the nutty things you obsess over. But we already know yours turned out to be false. Still think the unvaccinated need to be mandated out of polite society but think the clot shot protects you from infection? Actually you should have pegged that one as illogical if not nutty when you were pushing it. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do... they signed onto the agreement. Actually that's false... anything ratified through the UN security council is generally legally binding.

For those constant whiners that can't even read and whose minds are a conspiracy of their own. Nowhere does it say you can't own a car or your not allowed to visit your daughter, those are delusions of your mental impairment. Not any great conspiracy, this has been planning policy in many places for decades under the name 'neighbourhoods'.

UN General Assembly Resolutions aren’t worth much of anything. It allows leaders to virtue signal and act like they care did anything, without actually being required to follow through.

It is to encourage going to local 15m walkable businesses in order to discourage driving for climate reasons, and "traffic" they allege.

Further to that there's been no sign we'll have to resort to swimming or paddling to get around out here on the coast. I burned my usual 100 litres of diesel today and tomorrow's another day - in a month it'll be more like 200 - 300 litres a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The funny part of all this is that it's a backwards way of segregation. I say that because most black people are related to other black people, and to few, if any, white people. Vice versa for white people, Chinese, Korean, Latino, etc. If you can't drive to other parts of town to see your family it will force families to cloister in certain areas. White neighbourhoods. Chinese neighbourhoods. Black neighbourhoods. Latino neighbourhoods. Etc. Most leftist policies actually are aimed at the poor. When they bring in illegal immigrants, those people work for cheaper than the lowest income earners in America, and compete with them for low-income housing. It's awesome for people who need their lawns cut and affordable nannies for their kids. The Dems just figured out how to get the poor people to vote against themselves. When the Libs here raise the cost of living and make gas more expensive it doesn't hurt Trudeau or Morneau, they don't even notice. It hurts the poor people who got sucked into voting for them.

sharkman Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 I can't believe how easy it is to bring in sea change policies. No one cares to see past their damn internet wifi. It's going to take the few to step up and become heroes. Champions for truth. Sacrificing all they have to give, because the masses are lost otherwise. God help us all.
