    Is China REALLY So Bad? (split from '25 Federal Election thread)

    When this comes everyone associates this type of government with fascism. Further, Heinlen meant for the form of government in the novel to be vilified, not admired. However, despite this, I don't see why you couldn't have the whole "federal service" aspect and still maintain the overall core...

    Whats good for the goose is good for the gander! He's definitely demonstrated that he knows where to put money. If the decisions and investments he makes as PM on behalf of Canada result in more prosperity for Canadians, then I don't give a shit if he gets rich of it as well. Besides, he won't...

    Sounds like you really CAN trust him. If he's so synonymous with the LPC of the last 10 years and their policies, and we have 10 years of experience witnessing and experiencing their government, then we know exactly what he's about! Also, again with the "ties to China". So what? As with...

    Now now now, no one is being run over by tanks anymore. The state has given the people national pride and an amazing standard of living, and people are politing living their lives in quiet appreciation.

    A bunch of you have been claiming that Carney. Is a terrible public speaker and that his popularity will decrease the more he opens his mouth. To me that implies that he is a BAD speaker. While I'm not convinced he's an "astute orator for the ages", I can't connect what you guys are saying with...

    Choice is an allusion; elections are about placating the proles. The difference between our system and their's is that they aren't lying about what you're getting or about who is actually pulling the strings.

    Is China REALLY So Bad? (split from '25 Federal Election thread)

    I'm suggesting that, if it is the free and universal agency of individuals that has allowed the woke mind virus to take route in our society and caused the destruction of Canada as we know it, perhaps we need to look into a system where those with such dangerous and self-defeating perspectives...

    I mean, if Democracy is how we got Trudeau, perhaps we need to take an inward look and reassess our perspectives?

    Recall 2 things: 1. It wasn't $330M thag went out in appropriately. I made that very clear in mh previous post, it was more like $75M (can't recall the exact figure). And 2. The board of directors had the task of "voting" on whether or not to grant money to entities/companies applying for said...

    It's been claimed on this site that Butts is part of Carney's team, and thus why a Carney government would be just more of Trudeau. However, I can't find any official mention of him joining team Carney. He's only mentioned as having joined his team in a few "hit pieces" by news sites that tend...

    Do what I did the last couple elections and just vote Green. It's a wasted vote, effectively, but you get the positive of feeling like you voted "for a healthier planet".

    FFS. People are swallowing bullshit conservative propaganda hook line and sinker. This is nothing more than the conservatives obfuscating an issue by using bullshit buzzards to trick Canadians. They are lying. Bill C-69 is NOT anti-pipeline legislation. It does not ban pipelines. It's a bill...

    Given the states of our things with our oh-so-reliable "partner" to the south, maybe we should eb applauding Carney and Brookfield for their sound business decision making and foresite. Maybe the answer to all of Canada's "economic woes" as many on here are apt to point out, is to grow our...

    Sure, but the biggest roadblock to further development is not the Carbon Tax. The carbon tax affects Canadian consumers, not international customers. The biggest issue to further growth in O&G is regulatory uncertainty. So, I stand by my initial statement. Being supportive of the carbon tax, or...
