    Canada's perennial status as a NATO freeloader is getting awkward

    I understand the talking points on the carbon tax. In A city like Toronto it can make the difference between somebody driving or taking public transport, but in a city like Regina for most people it doesn’t change the fact that it does not have an effective public transport system that actually...

    Omnibus: Conservative Leadership Race

    I hope you didn’t change your Avatar on my Behalf, as Pierre is still a contender, and has a certain “I want that guy in my corner!” Quality. I’d be happy with either of these very qualified people above, with the other being the Deputy PM…..but I’m still leaning towards Ms Lewis for first...

    A clearer picture of Canada’s war-fighting strategy emerged this week during the dramatic eastward advance of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Operation Photo Opportunity. In the rumble of the hit-and-run media-availability event across Europe, word came at last from the tip of the spear aimed at...

    Canada's perennial status as a NATO freeloader is getting awkward

    Yeah, The question and answer just needed to be placed in the right order. Taxes are being raised, but not for bringing our military spending to 2% of GDP as per our NATO commitments, but as a punishment for going to work and not freezing in our climate that’s not human hospitable about 1/2 the...

    Omnibus : Gas prices, Oil prices, Embargos

    I get my info from a variety of sources to get get a rounded variety of bias to form my own opinions, & that’s why I found this forum many moons ago as another source of information. I came to my own conclusion that Trump was Wacky-Doodle….but American did well under him for the most part…from...

    Trucker Blockade Caused Lasting Psychological Damage to Canadians

    This is from Brian Giesbrecht, who is a retired judge and senior fellow at the Frontier Centre for Public Policy. I’m assuming this one will be paywalled soon so I’ll post it in its entirety: Asked why he supported some protests but was determined to crush the trucker convoy, Justin Trudeau...

    Omnibus: Conservative Leadership Race

    I thought Doug Ford was focussed on his reelection as a provincial candidate for Ontario. I didn’t think he was interested in a federal capacity with respect to himself. which candidates specifically are you referring to?

    Omnibus : Gas prices, Oil prices, Embargos

    Everytime I see somebody at the podium in front of that green marble I think, get ready for a boatload of hypocrisy…. I thought Trump was nuts, but overall America did fairly well under him! I listen to the sound bite above, then think back to Biden’s first day in office killing Keystone XL as...

    Omnibus: Conservative Leadership Race

    Yep, maybe, but hard to tell as he's not somebody that is out there in a very public way about his position. He just does his job day after day.

    Discussion of Ukraine War

    So….Russia invades the Ukraine…making the Ukraine villains threatening global peace for fighting back tooth & nail? Then somehow out of that you get some kind of anti-Zionist anti-Jew anti-Christian message? That’s your take on this situation? Your bias filters are full and the red light on the...

    Omnibus: Conservative Leadership Race

    So….it’s time for the nation to move back towards the Center (Conservative) and away from the wings either “Right” (Maxine Berniers Party) or “Left” (Liberal/NDP/Green) then? Is that what you all are saying?

    Omnibus: Conservative Leadership Race

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leslyn_Lewis You set up the pins, & we’ll throw the ball down the alley at them (I still want to see Justin Trudeau call this woman a “misogynistic anti-feminist racist Nazi etc…” like he eventually does to anyone who opposes him.) Born in Jamaica, she emigrated...

    Omnibus: Conservative Leadership Race

    Well, at least now it’s NOT gonna be a coronation where this dude is gonna be parachuted into the position by political support from old stock Canadians exclusively from East of Thunder Bay ON. Thank you Mentalfloss for bringing this to all of our attention. I’ll root for your guy Pierre if...

    Omnibus: Conservative Leadership Race

    I agree with you in that the PPC is over on the “Right” side of the political spectrum as opposed to the Conservatives being “Center Left” while the Liberanos and NDP and Greens are progressively further and further out into the “Left Wing Fringe” direction of the political spectrum, & it’s time...
