All candidates on the left want to do that. They just know they can't

If you can't see the parallels between the Nazi gesundheitspass and the Cdn Nazi gesundheitspass, the characterization of political enemies as diseased by Hitler and Trudeau, Hitler and Trudeau blocking the bank accounts of political enemies, the hate speeches by Trudeau (and Biden) and Hitler, the iron grip on media between Canada and Nazi Germany, the end of free speech in those countries, the book-burning, censorship, gov't-led disinformation campaigns, etc then stop talking about Naziism. You don't even know what it is. 

You’re comparing Trudeau with Hitler? That’s why this site is ignored by so many.

No,  you can read their actions and compare it to their words and behavior and mannerisms and it's not terribly hard.  Well... not if you're at average levels of intelligence or higher anyway. So not a problem for me

Pretty much why political forums like this have gone dead over the yrs. Rightwingdingalings can't compete on Twitter, FB etc because the general populace pretty much runs em outta Dodge. So they come to these more turn of the century safe places instead.

You can't think of a candidate on the left who'd like to completely destroy every shred of election integrity just to remain in power? Did you not see the whole "Russian collusion" thing? Did you miss the part about "No-ID voting, votes for illegals, unsolicited mass-mailed ballots with no signature matching requirements", etc? Do you think the Dems are trying to play it straight?

You're pretending not to see the parallels between Htler and Trudeau? That's why no one with an IQ over 50 pays any attention to your word-barf.

There will always be more and less conservative, so there will always be some form of right.  “Destroy” has nothing to do with it; we simply need a large enough majority in Congress to protect our climate, outlaw assault weapons, protect women’s health and put moderates on the Supreme Court. 

How do you propose to protect the climate?  I want to hear this.

No, those social media were censored by radical leftist dingbats.

Shotgun.  Best defense there is.  Unless you're biden, then it's a double barrel shotgun. We get is wife to shoot it in the air twice and problem solved.

Let me ask you something: When you flip a light switch, do you know or care how the electricity was generated? Is the light brighter if it was coal-generated?

You have no idea how I’ve advocated to eliminate coal power   I have the replies from politicians and letters to prove it.  I also put forward the proposal for the Greenbelt Boundary in Southern Ontario. I have a solar system that was costly and relies on government subsidies on the kilowatt rate to make it more than a money pit. There’s much that can be done through the building code and market to expand geothermal, deep water cooling, etc.  I do know a little about these issues, so when you assume that fixing the climate is something government is doing, I’d like to know your assumptions.

So that would be no - you don't know how to protect the climate.

Amazing how fast they change the channel when that gets asked

Boy, that's not a flattering look for you guys. Poor David Brooks has been forced into the role of a cultural anthropologist, dutifully and clinically documenting the collapse of his once-loved society into an insane shadow of itself.

Super argument. ?

Those silly intellectuals wasting all their time crafting thoughtful rebuttals are simply fools. A plain 'ol "Nuh-uh," is apparently sufficient.

Still not sure why you posted an article that neatly eviscerates your entire worldview of conservative politics and casts it as a pivot to statism.

Lots of people do so. I believe most of them are simply scared to say the truth in public for fear of  retribution from you whiny little biatches. But whether that's the case or not here...we're going nowhere and we're in control of the Republicans and the Canadian Conservatives now.

For the exact reasons that I told you before, no one can "triple the value of their home" just by renovating it.

The value of a house in Toronto is mainly in the lot. Even if you somehow managed to put a second new home on the lot just by "renovating" you still wouldn't triple the value. 

[herbie]

You dumb twat.

There's a whole country but you snivel about Toronto the center of the universe. Snivel how you can't afford your first house in Vancouver, well that ain't how it works. My Dad had to move 'all the way out to Burnaby' for his. a partly finished 'starter' with ditches, no gas and hanging power. I has to move out to Langley and pay triple what he did for my first. And fix the roof, finish the basement and landscape the lawn.
My kid has to look outside the city limits in Prince George and pay triple what her Mom & I paid.

2 doors down the couple retired out of town and just wanted to be rid of all ties here. A local guy bought their mobile on a city lot for $19,000. Put in laminate floors, some paint and repaired the wooden porch. Flogged it for $49,900 six weeks later. 2 1/2 times, for a couple grand and a little elbow grease. To the buyers it was cheaper than rent, and they just moved out selling for $97,000 a year and a half later.
There's like 5 other ppl doing nothing but renos and flipping as their main income here.

BTW did you know if you want to reno a bathroom or kitchen in Vancouver it will cost you as much as $8400 and six weeks just for the permit? That my uncle, a retired contractor wanted to turn his garage in Vancouver into a laneway home but just the permits would have cost him $5000 more than I paid for the house & lot I live in here?

Already told you you can buy raw land, clear cut it, sell the wood, rake in tax credits and sell it for way more than you paid. Pull your head out of your ass and look at the other 10 miilion sq kms of this country.
