Oh this should go over well! No interest, for some.

The jokes on him, you don't need a concealed carry license in Arizona to carry a concealed firearm, its a constitutional carry state, which means the second amendment of the constitution says you have to right to bear arms, so you don't need a permit.

It's not too late and not everything introduced by Trudeau is as bad as you portray. A change is overdue, but it's not like there are a bunch of stellar alternatives.

The absolute worst thing we could see is Poilievre winning a majority. Turning everything back isn't the solution, we need to move forward progressively. A conservative minority could achieve that without radical change.

Absolutely remarkable the indoctrination. This is a huge part of the problem this way of thinking and the results are JT's Canada as of right now and the worst PM in the history of the country. We absolutely need a Polievre Super majority to bring about swift changes back to normalcy. A conservative minority will be bogged down in red tape from all the damage the Lib/NDP coalition has done for almost a decade. Polievre may not be perfect but radical swift changes are exactly what this country needs. If JT somehow manages to get back in, you will see (like California) the biggest mass-exodus of Hard working Canadians leaving the country in the history of Canada. That is not 'progressive'. Mass Taxation without representation and a 1.2 trillion dollar debt is not the way to run a country dude. Causing inflation and the biggest housing crisis in the history of Canada plus mass unvetted immigration with another 1.5 million coming in in another 1.5 years.

We absolutely need a Polievre majority and along with Trump getting back in the States can form some form of common sense plan to fix the massive damage done by Biden/Trudeau. Astronomical.

TBH I don't like any of the party leaders. That said I do agree it's time for a change. I still think a minority government would be appropriate to start, then see how it goes. You need to keep politicians feet to the fire. I'm pretty sure JT is done in 2025.

Mexico's President Obrador has done a great job. He holds 3 hour Youtube conferences 5 times a week to monitor and report on the progress of his promises. Honest upfront, won't be pushed around by the US or other countries. Their economy is flourishing.

That's what Canada needs!

Thought 8 would store this comment here, In case I need it again.

In the case of the Red Deer redneck, it has nothing to do with how he was playing/leading, it has everything to do with political points of view. The Red Deer redneck turned on Bo, as soon as Bo made a comment the the Red Deer redneck didn't agree with, causing the Red Deer redneckto instantly argue against Bo and how he is soft and not a good leader.
The Red Deer redneck chooses his sports players and music based solely on his political beliefs, the Red Deer redneck is a complete (frank)en moron

For some reason he keeps coming at me for the poop other people are saying about him. I've been really patient with the guy... as backwards as he is, I havent been judgmental about it... but his level of disrespect can't be dismissed anymore. I guess he won't be happy until I'm in the group that poops all over him.

Fkn idiot thinks I'm in the clique now. Came right out with the accusation. All it took was a few likes from Marwood and he is convinced. Talk about easily getting played. Marwood is definitely in his head "rent free".

I'm getting criticized for not shaping my team support, opinion, politics and my life around pissing off a group of people. What a mental midget.

I don't think there's any magic clique here like 2 people have alluded to. It's just a bunch of individuals that get sick of the non-stop verbal diarrhea .

Should it be a surprise that so many people find an idiot...........to be an idiot?

Yup.
He talks about me in the main thread as well as the Oliers, Flames & Leafs threads. Apparently most of you have sex with me when I'm not grooming children.

Well, just keep me up to date on what you believe so I can shape my hockey opinions, politics, religion, energy preference and all that other stuff to the polar opposite. I mean, that's what a free thinking person does right? I could care less if I say something that parallels your opinion or crosses his. I guess that is seen as unloyalty or something. Wow.


I'll always have my own opinions. I have always been aware of group think and have wanted to make sure I'm not falling victim to it even though no one is bullet proof from it. Human nature. I don't think it's a concept he can grasp unless he is looking outwards.

Dude you are so full of yourself it's remarkable. Most disagree at one point or the other. Vantel, Don, Lefty Bloated and now me I'm just your current flavour of the month lol. There will be someone else...

For years you sh!t all over Makita and the 'Island buddies' for their clique, but for now for some reason it's different. No one is 'coming at you'...but you my friend. It all seemed to start when I was slandering Bo and Pettersson and the Canucks play down the stretch and man you just went off. I dismissed alot of it as just pure anger an obsessive behaviour but dude it might be something else. Your rants against Vantel were truly something else. No one is 'disrespecting you'. It always seems to come back to what certain posters have done or said to you in the past. Get over it. I for sure am not 'out to get' you and I have been nothing but supportive over the vast majority of your posts but honestly dude if you want to continue with the insults and act a certain way you will be treated accordingly.


yet You continue with the insults with the champs support now like it's a thing lol. Your flip-flopping is one thing but man don't lump yourself in with those idiots. You are way better than that. I'd like to think you are above it. But...maybe I'm wrong lol. Best.

If the champs vote JT back in 2025 the country is truly lost. Minority governments just get bogged down in red tape and can't push much legislation through. This country needs sweeping changes from the top down. Fiscal responsibility without the climate hoaxes and taxes. Close the fucking borders so it makes sense on immigration. Biggest inflation and housing crisis in the history of Canada under JT. Not even sure a Polievre super-majority could fix much of it as JT will do so much damage in his final few years it might be un-fixable. But hey...not everything JT does is bad and taxation without representation aint such a bad thing according to some champs in here...

This page was created to have spirited political debates. But to have a good debate you need factual information to argue. Your post above does not contain one factual statement.

Inflation now is not even close to its historical high. The housing crisis is not a federal issue. It’s a Municipal and Provincial problem.

Other than your opinion, nothing you stated above is even remotely true.

lol of course...as long as they support the local narratives correct?

Look, many of these things are directly related now. North America is currently enjoying 20 years of inflation compacted into the last 3-4 years. This in part, is thanks to JT and Biden printing LARGE amounts of money and flooding certain markets with it. JT flooded Canada with over 600 Billion and you don't think there is no federal correlation with inflation? Come on man...

And while I somewhat agree that housing is municipal and Provincial JT has also made this a federal issue by allowing open borders and mass immigration. Where do you house all these folks coming in all the while giving them free taxpayer handouts? It's all connected dude.

Rent and housing costs have over DOUBLED under Trudeau in 8 years man how is this not a federal issue now? And now before JT is punted he wants to allow another 1.5 million folks in the next 1.5 years...how is this workable considering the mess he created? Think about that for a bit.

And also he hasn't hit ONE climate target in 8 years of office. But yet Canadians are being taxed to death for a climate narrative that has been debunked time and time again. Until the UN goes after Russia India China and the US we know it's all horsehsh!t but yet hard working Canadians need to suffer for it.

So actually I have provided some facts to the reality here. You just don't want to acknowledge what is actually going on as it doesn't support your view point. If you somehow can challenge these facts in an open debate I welcome it...but logically you can't as it's unfolding right before your eyes.
