"the [NSICOP} Committee reminds its colleagues that their duty as Parliamentarians is to the people of Canada"

The fact that MP colleagues needed to be "reminded" of their oath to Canada, is a good indication of why we are now facing these tariffs...

If you're referring to this part:

it doesn't say that you're a cultist, that's just a funny proof of your Dunnig Kruger status.

Regarding this part:

• During the period under review, the intelligence community observed states manipulating traditional media to disseminate propaganda in what otherwise appeared to be independent news publications. 58 Foreign states also spread disinformation to promote their agendas and consequently challenge Canadian interests, 59 which posed the greatest cyber threat activity to voters during the time under review. It seems like they go 1 level higher than that...

Iran doesn't just control CNN and CBC, they control some of the politicians in these countries, and some other politicians just side with Iran to go against Trump.

I know that they're primarily talking about China there, but there's a lotta noise coming from the mouths of Dem politicians and Canadian cultists that sounds exactly like Iranian propaganda releases.

@BeaverFever BEAVE!!!! THEY'RE TALKING TO YOU!!

What does me not hating American's, but reminding Uncle Sam that the illiteracy rate aligns with Trump's approval rating have to do with anything?   I'd do it for you but Poilievre's approval rating hasn't fell to 20% yet.

I'm sure you are proud of it.... 😂

I suspect that the feds may make all kinds of announcements designed to appease the separatists but I suspect they're going to miss judge things a bit. And they certainly won't intend on following through very much of it

I  doubt the Americans care enough to participate. The realities were not actually talking about true separation here. He is unlikely that Alberta would actually become its own independent nation or break off to join the Americans. At best they would Negotiate some sort of sovereignty association agreement where they had much more independence in autonomy while still remaining part of Canada

 

Definitely important for those supporting secession to have a clear understanding of what they're supporting. 

Over several decades political movements have advocated the secession of Alberta, with some groups supporting the creation of a sovereign union with the other provinces of Western Canada ...... other groups supporting the province joining the U.S. as a state or territory. 

A so-called sovereign union refers to self-governance and independence, maintaining authority over their own affairs without external interference ........... a sovereign country. 

I do believe the U.S. would have a strategic economic  interest in Alberta. 

Akin to Philippines, Panama, Cuba, Puerto  Rico, Virgin Islands, Hawaii, Florida, Alaska ................................. Greenland? 

............. def don't want Kanucks to get paranoid, but if it's real it ain't paranoia. 😁

I was laughing about the irony of you calling other people illiterate, while using an apostrophe to pluralize "American's" in that sentence.

Here's how to use an apostrophe with the word American:

1. an American's car (singular possession)
2. a buncha 'Muricans (in the place of a missing letter, but nothing to pluralize the word)
3. Americans' homes (possession for a group of people)
4. the Oakland A's had two number 3's at practice (to pluralize numbers or letters, but not acronyms)

It's not like there are 80 different ways to use an apostrophe and you tried to use a rare one... There are 4. 

You just hoisted yourself on your own petard.

Face it: you're just not a smart person, Link. 

You don't know basic grammar, you weren't clever enough to find that poll based on the info that was there, you have a kindergarten level of understanding of politics, covid, etc...

You're in no position to make fun of other people's intelligence. You should just chime in with your small comments and leave it at that.

Just accept your beatdown, Linkie, and then wait for your chance to land a shot of your own. 

As it stands, I proved that your grammar is at about a grade 4 level. That's on you, not me.

My guess is that you've got about a grade 9 education, as far as normal classes go, but you might have taken some Special Education courses to get your high school diploma.

@BeaverFever, they're referencing things like "Russian FB ads that were used to sow discord in 'Murica."

You're the poster-child for that, Beave. Putin spent a couple hundred thousand dollars on FB ads and got you in the palm of his hand for years, crying about Russian collusion.

No, I get you all the time, but that one was fun. 

It was made even more fun by the fact that, after all this time, you still never knew what I was talking about. 

I bet that you have never read a novel in your life, aside from maybe a Harry Potter book that was part of your Gr 7 English class.

It doesn't take much to amuse your little mind does it....  

And I was long out of school before Harry Potter came around....

How embarrassing for you 🤣. If you were 9 or 17 there would be at least some excuse for your glaring shortcomings. 

I honestly recommend that you try to read some books that have more than 2 pages. It will actually increase your intelligence, and you have ample room to grow.

It's a pretty complicated issue so good luck with that. Not that people are incapable of understanding complex issues but the reality is is the more complex the issue the easier it is to muddle it and get people who aren't expert confused. the average person who doesn't have hours to examine all of this stuff we'll have a difficult time sorting wheat from the chaff.

You should becomes how far they want to push it. We do have a thing called The Clarity Act which allows for a province that is substantially unhappy with confederation to negotiate in good faith to basically become more sovereign within Canada. But it doesn't allow for them to leave Canada.

That would require essentially armed rebellion. And the question becomes would that be worth it if they've already got 90% of what they want?

There are benefits to remaining in Canada. Being your own country has a lot of risks and problems associated with it.

I'm becoming part of America means basically becoming like maine, with zero power and 0 influence and you're fighting with all the other states for the same things that you're fighting for in Canada. You still going to run into states aren't going to want a pipeline between your province and the ocean. And if they support a pipeline to Texas you're only going to be able to sell to one customer, same as now

So if somebody says alberta can make its own laws, collect its own taxes, have sovereignty over 80% of what it wants to, and can opt out of a number of things but it doesn't want to participate in but still has some connection to Canada and some obligation, it's most likely people may say close enough. 

It is severely unlikely that alberta would actually separate as a sovereign nation entire. Severely unlikely.

But a more interesting thing would be what happens in the future after that. Other western provinces me very well demand the same rights. And after a. Of time those western nations may look at each other and say maybe it is time to split completely. Or if not completely to form something closer to an European economic union with each other or with the rest of Canada and further reduce the federal sovereignty

Canada really should never have been this big. The western provinces have been exploited since day one and the country just does not function well as one big huge massive sovereign nation. We only did it to protect ourselves from The Americans. We can still achieve that without having a strong a federal government as we do now

If these guys were well-read, intelligent, or educated they'd have no problems with basic grammar or spelling, and they'd be able to discuss facts and ideas instead of always resorting to baseless, childish insults.

Well of course I'm not one to speak about the first part being mildly dyslexic and having my voice dictation actively fight me half the time   But the second part is certainly a something I would agree with 100%.

It's disappointing to see how low the reasoning is. Not to pick on him but as an example linksoul was arguing the other day that life in vancouver was unaffordable in 2015. And as "proof" he made a claim about the cost of a house (turned out to be wrong but that's not the point. )

Now, a person trained to think AT ALL would realize that the cost of a house is meaningless UNLESS you also look at the wages people were earning.  If people in vancouver were earning an average of 200k a year that's quite affordable if they were earning 10 k a year that's not. 

But it never even occurred to him that you need BOTH figures to work out what's affordable.  That's SO basic, like 1st year university basic. How can you say if something's affordable without looking at how much people can afford?

And we see that kind of sloppy thinking constantly.

It really actually bothers me that there's such a lack of basic reasoning and logic skills
