Mulroney raised expectations and increased the deficit. Swedes and Norwegians get along great. 1 minute ago, August1991 said: Carney is for he/she - Singh is for nous autres. Poilievre is asexual.

herbie Posted March 13 Report Posted March 13 You just love to post headlines of two totally different things with an = sign between. Just trolling for attention or what? 2 Quote
August1991 Posted March 13 Author Report Posted March 13 I have a strong admiration for politicians like Lester Pearson. He brought Pierre Trudeau - guys like Jean Chretien - into federal politics. Years ago, I recall crossing paths with Jean Marchand in a Quebec City parking mall. I recall walking by tall Marc Lalonde in a Toronto airport. Quote

August1991 Posted March 13 Author Report Posted March 13 I live in Montreal so I don't know what other people elsewhere in Canada think. With their choice of Carney, federal Liberals have not destroyed their party - but close. Quote
ironstone Posted March 13 Report Posted March 13 More from the New York Post on Carney. It's like the far-left Liberals and far-left Democrats are interchangeable lol. https://nypost.com/2025/03/11/world-news/canadian-leader-mark-carneys-deep-ties-to-us-democrats-exposed/ Quote "Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it."

What kind of uninformed ignoramus thinks there are only 2 genders? https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-redefined-the-idea-of-2-sexes-is-overly-simplistic1/ According to the simple scenario, the presence or absence of a Y chromosome is what counts: with it, you are male, and without it, you are female. But doctors have long known that some people straddle the boundary—their sex chromosomes say one thing, but their gonads (ovaries or testes) or sexual anatomy say another. Parents of children with these kinds of conditions—known as intersex conditions, or differences or disorders of sex development (DSDs)—often face difficult decisions about whether to bring up their child as a boy or a girl. Some researchers now say that as many as 1 person in 100 has some form of DSD. Quote

TreeBeard Posted March 13 Report Posted March 13 (edited) 6 minutes ago, ironstone said: It's a social construct..and it's fluid too🙄 Biological sex isn’t a social construct. Gender expression certainly is. In either scenario, there are clearly more than 2 sexes. If there are more than 2 biological sexes (which science has shown that there are), why would gender be limited to the 2 main ones? Your eye rolling is only showing that you’ve never read anything on the topic beyond right-wing blogs who quote right-wing chuds as reliable sources of science. Edited March 13 by TreeBeard 1 Quote

He wants to invest usually in Dei What you think because somebody makes money they can't be on the left? Sorry to burst your bubble but a huge number of very rich people are on the left. Quote

slady61 Posted March 15 Report Posted March 15 During his speech Ignatieff presented himself as a humble person. Carney pursues personal gains in his actions rather than displaying humble behavior like Ignatieff. Quote

Most politicians use name/credentials to get in and voters vote based on name/credentials. A non-politician? Carney is anything but a "non-politician". Some people are ambitious and some people are competitive. (There's a difference.) Mark Carney is both. ==== There is a reason that this federal election campaign period is so short. No one knows who Mark Carney is. No one knows his wife. And, like Biden in the US, the federal Liberal apparatchiks don't want us to know. Quote
