Colpy,that is why everybody is killed off rather than they are a little smarter. They are obviously smarter than you but that is not a sign they are smart, it means you are more stupid than most people.

Essentially true.


But Capitalists have built almost everything. :)
Except for ports and highways and bridges and canals and railways and schools and universities and hospitals etc etc etc

Northern Ontario,
The job of cabinet is to carry out the will of the government.

If you are unable to do that it is up to you to inform the government and step aside so that they can put someone else in that position who will carry out their plans.

This is how a parliamentary democracy is supposed to work.
And if their plans are illegal? Huh?

Capitalists built them all.


Our society is capitalist.


Our bidding system for the work is based on capitalist principles.


And the companies that actually do the work are capitalist.

'When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard.'

His rationale was as folows:

'For it is the soldier's disposition to offer an obstinate resistance when surrounded, to fight hard when he cannot help himself, and to obey promptly when he has fallen into danger. '

If I were the opposition, I'd give Trudeau an out. There really are only two possibilities here. Either he pressured the Attorney General or he just miscommunicated his intentions so poorly as to lead her to believe that he was pressuring her. The first presents him as a liar and so directly attacks his character. The fear of the humiliation of being caught in a lie will make him double down. The second option does not attack his character, but rather just his competence, which is still humiliating but not as much. It's either one or the other, so push him to confess to his sheer incompetence as a communicator so as to distance himself from the accusation of being a liar.

Again, it's either one or the other.

In world of infinite possibility how can only two paths exist?

How else would you explain that the Attorney General believes that the Prime Minister pressured her while the Prime Minister has already inferred that that resulted from a breakdown in communication.

Yes it takes two to communicate and the breakdown could have occurred non her side and not his. However, I get the impression that she's a clearer and more meticulous communicator than he is. That greatly increases the probability that if this was just the result of communication breakdown, he likely contributed to it far more than she did.

I guess that is why most of the infrastructure, being built by the lowest bidder, is crumbling, made of shoddy materials. Ya, capitalism is great if you own it.

Who is building the new bridge to Detriot?

The government.

Who built the highways that lead to the bridge?

The government.

Who paid the companies to come to Canada to build the things that are on the highways going back and forth across the bridge?

The government.

The capitalists operate within the society that the government built. Just like the socialists.

Gun nut continues to shoot himself in the foot.

“I can assure you that the governments of Canada and Michigan … remain committed not only to get this thing built, but to get started just as soon as we can. And that is literally days and weeks away.”

Okay, Dimwit.


I keep trying to be reasonably polite with you, despite your ignorance, arrogance, and lack of any manners, but you can't do it.


The people building the bridge are NOT the Red Army. They are a private company, a product of capitalist society.


The money to build the bridge does not come from the collective ownership of the means of production, it comes from the earnings of capitalists, and those that work for them, surrendered in taxes.


And the decision to build was made by a democratic government in a capitalist society.


And it is being built to enable trade between two capitalist countries.


Built by the capitalists, for the capitalists.



Anyone with even a partially functioning intellect would realize that the bridge is the result of a successful capitalist society......
