"... La chienlit, non" -CDG

They've softened up since the last major demonstrations in 2012.

True. And the headlines are often the most despicable part of any given article. I suppose when I say "hate journalists", I don't mean actual individuals, but rather, the organizations that employ them.

The 47-years-old suspect has been charged with: Assault police officer with the intent to prevent an arrest Obstruct a peace officer in the execution of their duty Assault with a weapon x2 Possession of a weapon dangerous to the public Harassment by threatening conduct; hate motivated x2...

Nonsense. Wrong. He stopped at an anti-carbon tax rally. "If Justin Trudeau is concerned about extremism, he should look at parades on Canadian streets openly celebrating Hamas' slaughter of Jews on Oct. 7." You're essentially saying citizens exercising their freedom of speech on a very...

Yeah, sorry, didn't miss that but I didn't really acknowledge it either, my bad. Guess I just wanted to exploit an opportunity to voice a perspective that goes too frequently unheard.

You got it upside down. Brexit didn't fail them. Governance did. Because populism didn't win. The UK's woes are attributable to the fact its electorate is asking for right-wing governance from a lost, chaotic Conservative Party that is conservative in name only and won't give them that...

The opinion of experts is worth nothing if they developed those opinions before they were experts. -Me

He doesn't have to be clever to do someone else's bidding... All he's gotta do is hold Freeland's hand, stay true to the ideology, and parrot the ideas that McKinsey and Schwab feed him.

I really wish he was still NDP leader. So much more down to earth and credible than the champagne socialist.

Franco-Canadians don't really exist. I know you exist as an individual. And the Constitution pays lip service to your theoretical existence. But you don't really. Case in point: Until 1982, Canada attempted the assimilation of all Francos (and Indians too). It tried really hard, but it kinda...

True. But, didn't you defend the EA? Why speak out against it now? The logic goes both ways, dunnit?

Uh-huh. This was great and made sense when there was an actual country bound by a single history that its citizens could take pride in yet also learn from. Nowadays, the past is seen as something disgusting the legacy of which we must rid ourselves off, as we burn down churches and topple...

With great power comes great responsibility. That same province having already shown to be severely derelict in this duty, it has no grounds to protest. That said, my criticism is directed at all levels of government. As you said, the police could just decide to do their job, but they won't. It...

Wasn't everyone's conclusion of the Freedom Convoy debacle that the core of the problem was the incompetence of local authorities? So yes. Military experience should have taught everyone here that if no one will do the job, then you take charge and do it. You don't just sit there and go "welp...

Simulator says if Liberals drop another 2.5% and either CPC or Bloc take those points, the latter will form the Official Opposition once again.

Interesting, thanks for the info! So, only #3 is pants-on-fire false, but I would describe it as misinformation, not disinformation. It would result from confusing American and Canadian political discourse, not from any propaganda campaign I've seen. #1 is a red herring. If you think Canada's...

Which is why I'm so curious! I think the past few years have shown that those who use that word are often the worst offenders. Also, given the negative outcomes that result from the "most informed's" government of choice, it seems to imply it is better to be "disinformed" than informed (by...

Interesting phrasing: "most disinformed". Curious how that was judged. Implies they aren't just uninformed, but actively and provably "wrong". Intrigued the pollster included 2-vaxxed amongst unvaxxed group. Makes sense, that would be me, and my views certainly align closer to unvaxxed than...

Aren't, never have been. "Confederation" in Canada it's just a rhetorical trick. It is the act of creating the Canadian federation. But we certainly would do much better if we actually were a confederation. Which is why I always advocate for a constitutionally-empowered Federal Council, and a...
