Popular Post RupertKBD Posted December 31, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 31, 2023 2 hours ago, Northern_Nuck said: Ask Jody Wilson-Raybould, CSIS or Michael Duheme. Not once did I say Trudeau rules with total authority, I said rulers that do usually always start by doing the same things. I might have alluded that’s what his eventual ambition is. But I see where this is going, it needs to be a far left liberal echo chamber, Neutral centralized opinions are not allowed from what I’ve seen as a constant theme of this topic. I can’t discuss things with close minded people that have a far right or left bias. And I’ve seen your history in this thread, so this is where you and I respectfully part ways. Cheers. What makes you think your opinions are not allowed? Because people disagree with them? Have you received a ban, or a warning for posting your opinion? Sorry N_N, I think you're overreacting a bit here. I do have one piece of advice for you. (and you can take it or leave it, with no hard feelings from me): Lose the "far left" and "far right" routine. Nobody ITT is "far left". (Nor is the Trudeau government, or the NDP for that matter) It just makes you sound like the extremist, rather than the people you are speaking about. Personally, I think @Satchmo answered all of your points in a reasonable and respectful manner. 1 2 1 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW - I don't have any idea how the term echo chamber fits into things. It doesn't. But it's the go-to characterization from people who post opinions that receive wide disagreement. Commonly used as a pejorative.... 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The minority opinion is chastised, ridiculed, teamed up on and then eventually ran out of the thread. The ones who try to stay only cause more issues and tension because the majority doesn't want the other opinion around. Eventually fighting escalates and the threads are shut down permanently just like at the old site. The same group of "grown ups" here were involved in that. Teamed up on", is what happens when your opinion is shared by only a very few. Of the other points, ridicule is rarely used and generally, only when it is deserved. "Chastised" is a weird one. That sort of thing would only be the province of the Mods and again, I believe only when deserved. "Ran out of the thread", is completely erroneous. You're still here, which pretty much disproves that statement. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As always, all news should be read with the appropriate right or left "filter" when attempting to glean anything from it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, it would appear that anything to the left of "National Post" would be "extreme left libtard lieberal socialist pinko commie government propaganda" material to the self-proclaimed "Neutral"/"Centrist" folks espousing right-wing ideology in this thread. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Korea Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 9 hours ago, The Arrogant Worms said: Nice chart. Now re-create this list in order of money and exposure! I love how some folks here talk about the left wing media as if the majority of news read by Canadians is Postmedia (which is owned by a pro-Republican US hedge fund). How many people read the Tyee vs National Post? It's such a stupid parallel people are trying to make here. To anyone not paying attention: The vast majority of news Canadians consume is right wing. Anyone who even tries to talk about the left media can just shut the fuck up. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smaller places have to get some sort of census going. Perhaps some funds for that should be something that can be provided to these smaller communities as bigger cities already have those resources. Dont like that they paint it as a political bias. We have to make sure money is going to the places in most need. To do that there needs to be some information collected.

The real kicker was Preston Manning, he really lit the pity party fire. Convinced prairie people that we were victims. Asshole.

Skippy is the direct result of this failed victimhood complex. He's also got some sketchy doings in his background, if one believes he's "Pierre Poutine".

PeteyBOI Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 The debate that changed the course of the fate of our election... is their hideous corruption? what should have been trudeau smooshing PP with the no means no and the dental plan got turned into something nefarious, but for JT... 7/10 People do not trust JT and will likely never regain the trust, we know how trust is harder earned once lost... so we need to find a suitable replacemnet how did we end up losing 60+ million dollars in a well known carousel scam? and why havent we pressed charges depite knowing who and what stoll 60+ million dollars from the government? Many of you left leaning may understand how safe supply works to save lives... but do you think the average canadian does? let me tell you they dont... and they dont care at all... they are scared of homeless and addicts and would rather they just be locked away forever or worse... "Just stop it and save lives" reads to the average canadian "we are going to keep everyone drugged up and our streets scary" unfortunately this is another person that is too far ahead of their time... PP is actually right... first lets have a plan to build the short term treatment centers... we can use this backwards safe supply areas as a last resort... She should resign she will be targetted and will ruin the governments chances in the future. I guarantee here is a treatment center success story... another new study on psyclocybin as treatment for addiction... and mental health... which looks like it should be just fast tracked and green lighted... my sister has been microdosing for over 3 years... and is highly successful... despite being a green party member and millenial in Alberta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the conservatives on CFF are good people from what I can tell... @Boudrias comes to mind right away.... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
