How bad does it have to get to understand it's not getting worse by accident or because of mistakes? We've been saying this is what would happen and now that it is... it was an anomalous atmospheric event.... LoL

This has nothing to do with your views on crime or the agendas you support. I think most people would agree that violent crime should be punished, unless you're a dyed in the wool progressive woke liberal. That wasn't the point. The whole point was regarding actually DISCUSSING the obvious systemic problems being presented without being labeled a racist or a bigot. Why is that label applied when anyone tries to discuss the problems of black on black crime or black on white crime since it far far outweighs the inverse. How can those issues ever be resolved or improved upon if we aren't allowed to even have a discussion about them without being branded. Pointing out facts and pointing out the obvious issues, isn't racist. It's simply trying to bring attention to a bigger issue that needs to be addressed.

There is a huge difference between wanting to discuss the problems and the "other" posts that show up every single day. Hardly a day passes, when there are not blatantly racist, homophobic or sexists posts. Inevitably when they appear, the same group of individuals will give that post their thumbs up. Happens all the time. When individuals post stuff like this and are "cheered on" by others consistently, why would anyone not assume they are a bigot??? Based on posting history, I think there are certain individuals who aren't really all that interested in addressing those problems.

That wasn't even on X, nor did it evoke or concern PP. Hell, PP didn't even reference the quote.

Your endless search for outrage rivals any lib I know.

Does social media need to be X? I didn't say it was on X.

The sh!t Club MAGA - it's not all sh!t, just a lot of sh!t - puts on here has to be countered even though it thinks it owns this thread.

Both can be true - PP & Trump not being liked & thus having an impact on the election results. It's not necessarily one or the other as you imply.

 

[vhcat70]

PP would have had much better success had he PARTNERED with Trump, rather than publicly opposing him.

Even deflecting the Trump comments, especially with humor, would have been a better option.

Oh well... no has ever accused the Canadians of being smart... so let them continue to wallow in their own mediocrity and irrelevance.

Don't know when the PP/Trump feud started, but it goes back months, maybe before Trump took office. That said, wouldn't surprise me if Trump wants the Canada Libs to continue to take that country down the tubes.

I'm leaving soon for a month in Austria, Hungary, Czechia, Slovakia, Germany, and Switzerland... will report back on their immigration situation...

You won't find many ex Germany & maybe Czechia.

I suspect letting Libs drive the CAN into the ground is the Trump plan.

Back in 15, my wife and I did a big 11 day road trip. After 2 days on Mackinac Island (well, Mackinaw City KOA), we drove 16 hours to Montreal. The Queens highway was some of the prettiest views I've ever taken in. Montreal was overrated. Would love to do the trip again and go west towards Banff.

AB & BC are beautiful. 👍

Central Illinois you usually don't see but a small percentage shut down for whatever reason. They actually maintained them well for over 20 years. Haven't been thru there in a while now though

Been to Calgary for work when I was in business for myself, We took a day and drove over to Banff, it was in early May around 2012 or so I believe. Drove through a snow squall going into the mountains and once it passed, the road to Baff would literally take your breath away. Massive waterfalls from the melting snow cascading down the mountainside, Crystal clear blue water lakes. just amazing scenery. Baff itself was a pretty cool little town, we drove over to the big resort there and walked around it a bit. just gorgeous.

In order to have a stroke, doesn't there have to be blood flow to the head in the first place?

People in Indiana are not happy about this. Just goes to show that Republicans (outside of MAGA) are a joke.

By people, you mean smokers, right? Who else are not happy?

At least it's with a Country who has or is negotiating a fair and reciprocal trade deal. A big company like Apple is always going to go the cheap labor route.

Yep. Can't have those insane profits dry up.

Posted twice about this on April 11th. Sorry I don't bow down and kiss the ring on a daily basis. I will try harder to praise Trump on a daily basis moving forward. Additionally, immigration is just one issue which determines voting. Sorry I am not a one issue voter nor do I agree with the entire platform either party throws out there. Politics is a bit more complicated... Anyway, here are my posts from the 11th

"Am glad Trump has locked down the border."
"Personally, 100% for sending out immigrants who have committed crimes. No issues with that whatsoever"

Do you consider illegally crossing into the country a crime?

If not, this post is worthless.

Deport them all! No reason to wait for one to commit a heinous crime, correct? They already broke the law, so in your view, out with them, correct?

How Congress is fighting Biden’s disastrous EV mandate - Washington Examiner

Only by taking the government’s thumb off the scale and letting the free market decide will the public get the efficient and affordable transportation it needs.

www.washingtonexaminer.com

Contact your Congressman / Senators and urge them to vote in support in of this resolution. I can think of few worse things than having California dictate the rest of the nations' automobile technology options.

 

[JumperJack]

The same as in Europe. Leftism is communism. It seeks a global state. Importing those that have no conception of individual liberties, until the native Western population is overwhelmed, is precisely how they mean to gain it.

This chart is a classic example of why people need to stop just believing whatever some random person posted on the internet and taking it as pure fact.

1. This chart shows GDP per capita in the US as currently 160. 160 what? dollars? I should hope not that would put us down as one of the poorest countries, even below Afghanistan whose current GDP per capita is $415. The current GDP per capita according to the world bank is $82,769.

2. This chart shows that the US and Canada were tied at 100 in in 1995. Again 100 what? In modern history the US has always had a larger GDP per capita and they weren't tied in 1995.

3. Canadian GDP per capita in 2015 was 43,594, the latest number from the world bank is $53,431 which calculates to around a 19% increase over 10 years. Not nearly as good as the US during that time range, but still really good.

It's just setting the scale at 100%, so American real GDP per capita is ~160% what it was in 1995 while theirs is ~135%.

Real GDP and nominal GDP aren't the same thing. Real takes into account I think inflation and cost of living.

And that’s what we’re trying to discern. Show us some examples of the blatantly racist posts. Admittedly I don’t always agree with how some things are worded, but the majority of those posts referencing “culture differences” or crimes or what have you are generally pointing at obvious problems that people like you label racist or bigoted for pointing out. I’m not generally gonna hit a like on something I see or read that sounds blatant.

It's about terminating the discussion.

And you are being libeled as racist by people who are themselves racist.

If you unable to pick out posts that are racist, sexist, homophobic, etc on this forum, that is completely on you. I’ll give you a starting point though… HeismaNole or whatever his name is. He doesn’t even try to hide it
