Of course I can you jerk. Can you not answer a simple question ? I'm thinking now that you actually did a little research on your own and realized that it was you who was in the wrong. Now you're just whinging to cover it up.

It would help a lot if you could be a little more specific.

Taxation is just one aspect of any fix, but it would be an essential part. The current state of things in Canada has been fifty years in the making, it's going to need a long term fix to avoid making a total mess of the economy. There really isn't a successful argument against the thought that...

I still don't get your point. I realize you're more of a stand back and throw stones type than actually contributing to a discussion, but a few details now and then might help with your credibility.

I'm thinking "What has that got to do with this discussion?"

The Oxford Dictionary defines "woke" as "alert to injustice in society, especially racism." Especially, but not restricted to. What I'm saying is that economic inequality is at the root of a lot more of our problems than people know, or would care to admit. Leftists are not "all about race"...

We already redistribute wealth through our progressive income tax system. It just needs some adjustment. Calling it Marxism is a gross overstatement, like calling right wingers "fascists" or anyone who votes liberal a "socialist". It would be accurate to say that in Canada the right is closer...

That's the kind of sensationalist bullshit that has people talking about "the age of ignorance". People banging their lips together trotting out buzzwords without a freakin clue what they're talking about. Canada is already a blend of free market capitalism and socialism. Without socialism...

I had to look that one up, and you are right, it is not an conservative principle, but like the word "woke", it holds different meanings for people of different political persuasions. From where I see it, it all comes down to money, who has it, who doesn't, and the totally lopsided ratio in the...

Who's out to prove anything ? I have my opinions, and you have yours. I called you out on being rude and you gave your reasons, such as they are. Isn't that what little forums like this are for ?

Pick up a book. Don't want to take a chance that a leftie might lie to you now. Teach yourself.

Correct. I'm talking current events, but it does have roots in the past to be sure. Ruling aristocracies and all that. Is that the dictionary "woke" or have you signed on with the new pejorative "woke". Yes, I was generalizing, I stand corrected. But in my own defense I was talking a little...

Ban the police. What a mess that would be. All personal property would be managed by meth-heads.

Have I called you out personally ?

More deflection. We are most definately not talking about hundreds of years ago, we are talking in the here and now, and if you're going to try and argue that whites have not positioned themselves at the top of the food chain then you have already lost. And if you want to dive a little deeper...

Is there a difference between alt-left and left ? Or alt-right and right ? OF course there is. Painting and entire group with one brush based on the actions of extremists isn't accurate or deserved. It's good that you could find some reward for your work in the north other than just the...

And there's that typically conservative tactic of trying to pretend that conservative attitudes are not at the root of the divisiveness we see all around us today.

What, they should just mind their place ? If God had meant for them to be equal he would have made them white ? The rise of the Alt-left is a direct response to a few centuries of injustice. It was inevitable.

Odd that the new meaning you describe above has come from the right, as if it's some sort of justification for ignoring social injustice. Insult is the first line of defense when the right moves to defend what is ultimately an indefensible position.

Inequality is out of control on a number of fronts, racial and economic being two of the bigger ones, and we're letting the environment turn to shit while we whine about our tax bills.
