'People are more desperate': B.C. shoplifting numbers rise along with inflation - also huge spike in abusive behaviour

Now we're far worse than we've ever been in history.

Covid vax-fascism was a turning point for us. We never experienced anything like that before. 

When Pierre enacted martial law I don't think many people disagreed with it. Justin was just a power-hungry chickenshit.

Yes of course, and we're seeing the political chickens coming home to roost.  But really, it's not him.

He and his government have done nothing to curtail domestic housing speculation.  The result is everyone with some money has a 2nd investment property and everyone else can't afford a home. They also continue to increase immigration levels every year to all-time highs during a housing crisis when there aren't enough homes for even the people who live here now.  Canadian standard of living is plummeting and personal debt is spiraling.

His government has injected a ton of money into the economy which has made inflation worse, and doubled the federal debt since taking office in just 8 years and has never balanced a budget.  The economy is now dominated by the banking and housing industry, who are parasites leeching money from every Canadian who actually produces economic value.

Not everything is his fault, like the healthcare crisis, but he has contributed since you shouldn't be adding half a million new Canadians per year plus hundreds of thousands of people on visas when actual Canadians can't access the healthcare system or buy a house.  They should be letting in people who are doctors and work in the housing industry etc and pause others.

He has gone hard on divisive identity politics.  All his hiring decisions are based on racist and sexist soft quotas.  His party has erased everything uniquely Canadian from the new passport.

He caused the trucker convoy crisis.  Our military is suffering a recruiting crisis.  His party is accused by CSIS leakers of ignoring Chinese election interference and crooked political funding they benefit from and won't call a public investigation on it because clearly his party has something to hide.

He was just voted by a landslide the worst PM since his old man took office.

the cultural impact is one of the easiest to track and probably his greatest crime.  We will eventually recover from the financail hit - even if it does take us 40 years.  But i think hes' actually divided canadians pretty much permanently.  I think he has demolished 155 years of tradition of the "good neighbour" where canadians mostly help each other and we all look to be reasonable and caring in our activities.  I think those days are gone, and we've become polarized, spiteful, tribal and focused on what's in it for us individually rather than how to work together.

 

So you belch, barf and shit all over your neighbors the way you shit, belch and barf at everyone around here...because of Trudeau?

You seriously need to get a grip.

See folks? this is a prime example of what i'm talking about. Instead of making an intelligent comment or adding to the discussion we see the leftie here immediately attack and distort what was said in an effort to defend his beloved leader.

This right here is the kind of fracture Trudeau has brought to Canada.

Right - vaguely alluding to a rumour without repeating it against one political opponent is far worse than directly slandering a large hunk of canadians and saying they are 'wastes of space' and shouldn't be tolerated.

 

While you've got your head up there anyway give your colon a quick check.

Not at all, I'm simply trying to square what you said with how you behave yourself. The basis for your criticism of me of course remains fixated on ignoring the fact I have no love nor support for Trudeau.

Right here is the reason why I also can't support Poilievre, his supporters constantly lie about people they hate, which in my case is a lefty. As I've always said I base much of my potential support for a leader by the way the hard-boiled base of support they cater to behaves.

And fyi I consider Trudeau a right winger and everyone knows why.

You're a dishonest person and it was a dishonest comment that had nothing to do with what i actually said.

Of course you did.  I never said anything about how I interact with people. Or that my actions here or elsewhere are a result of trudeau.  I never said anything like that at all.

But - you claimed that's exactly what i said

And you do that to try to shift the discussion from one you know you'll lose to something you could win.

Because you're a dishonest slimebag who defends trudeau at every turn, and you knew i had a valid point  So - you had to CHANGE my point to one you could actually argue

Pathetic.

That's right, I did.  You interact here in a spiteful polarized way that can be characterized as tribal, you then implied everyone is like that now because of Trudeau, so I asked if you treat your neighbours the way you treat everyone here.

You're just like Trudeau who also back-peddles away from his own words when anyone calls him out. Why on Earth would I ever want to defend a bunged up arsehole like you?

I know you have a point, we're badly divided, but that's been true for decades.  I don't know what sort of la la land you inhabit where everything was unicorns and lollipops until Trudeau showed up - and we're supposed to believe THAT's what suddenly turned you and your ilk into such repellent little deplorables? ?

I mean, today I had to explain to my grandkid why the truck we were following down the road had a great big middle finger and a F**K you Trudeau! sticker on his tailgate.

I said it was just a nice rational Canadian being neighbourly and caring.

Like i said - there it is folks, the dishonest left at work.  Make an ACCURATE statement about trudeau's failings and eyeball and other libs come shooting out of the woodwork and if they have to lie to make a point - so be it.

I mean - today you want to change the subject because you just realized you got caught lying and you can't reasonably defend your actions so you want to try to make this someone else's fault.

Did you explain that Justin called him many bad names first? Did you go over how justin has been screwing with his rights in order to win votes to hold power so he could further his corruption?  Did you mention that justin declared our modern version of martial law on peaceful protesters who had a bouncy castle and were never actually ordered to leave by a judge?

Did you explain to him that for the rest of his little life he's going to have a lower quality of life than other countries or than he should have thanks to justin?

If you gave the correct and honest explination then he'll be putting one on his big wheel i'm sure  

This is what you and your ilk have brought the country to.  Sorry bud - your pal justin there is 100 percent to blame for the anger and frustration sweeping the country , Well done

Pierre Poillivere is rightwing waldo.

I think both leaders are toxic and childish.  I think Singh is more mature but yet doesn't have a clue about policy.

The overall maturity level of people in our society is tanking.  We're turning into a nation of brats.

The subject is still the way you said Canadians behave when you're triggered by Trudeau.  It's your own fault it causes you to lose it.

no,, that would simply be another one of your attempts to rewrite things.  I said the divisions and frustrations are a direct result of Trudeau.  I didn't mention behavior.

It's so pathetic.  Why do all the people we see on the left both in public and in places like this not only feel the need to be dishonest but to do so in such a childish fashion.  Do you REALLY think the rest of us can't see your desperate efforts to change the channel?

 

Trudeau has divided this country like never before.  Probably permanently.  He has replaced "good neighbour" and "coming together as a community" with distrust, hatred, bitterness and intolerance.  Can't worm your way out of that or change the channel just by lying about what other people said.

You said the divisions are making people spiteful and un-neighbourly towards one another which caused me to ask if you treat your neighbours the way you treat people here because of how Trudeau makes you feel.

It's a simple fair question. Why can't you just answer it?

You didn't ask anything.  You made a statement and it was fasle.

You're a lying sack of shit. You always have been. And trying to backpeddal now won't change that.

Justin trudeau has created more division and hatred in canada than we've ever seen in our history.  And that's on you and his supporters.  Cope with it loser.

But if you're in a question answering mood - then how about you start - explain why you support a gov't and a man that has dvided our country like never before in history?

And lets not pretend you don't, your whole effort here has been to distract from that issue on his behalf.

Thats the sad part in today's politics. It seems like you're voting good for a broken leg, or a torn ACL, with either injuries selling to you how much worse the other is.

I don't think I trust Poilievre, but he seems more competent than Trudeau. I know the latter can't run a country.
