  1. For me, this comes down to what has already passed. We know the PCs were given money to help with Covid (i think that's what it was for..the 85 mil) and we have zero knowledge of what happened to it. Even after they've been asked, nothing. Similar things happened with Daycare and education. Daycare I know the prov gave the payments to the centres...instead of investing in actually making daycare cheaper all the time. Don't get me wrong, I've benefitted THIS month because of what the PCs did. (I didn't have to pay this month) but I would have preferred to pay this month knowing that in the next year or so, daycare costs would be coming down. PCs had also been given money to help with school infastructure...essentially to update it especially the ventilation...again..what happened with it? So my question is...if the Feds are giving provinces money for specific things, and the provinces aren't using it for those things or only using part of it...or using it for those things but not in the intended way. AND the provinces are then turning around and pointing the finger at the feds for the problems those funds were supposed to address. When does it become reasonable to want a solidified plan in place before more money is given out?
  2. I'm not sure how much of a good idea this is. Obviously there has been a problem with non residents buying houses and having an impact on the market. But what about people that are legitimately trying to move to Canada? I guess it's only 2 years...?
  3. I've defended what I've said multiple times. Im not defending, what YOU think I've said. I'm now done. I don't give a **** if you like it or not or if you agree or not. Tough nuts. Enjoy your day.
  4. Please take me seriously when I say I don't give two shits about whether or not anyone agrees with me on this board. Your opinions are yours and mine are mine. No one is convincing anyone of anything at this point it seems. Feel free to continue on believing presidents are nice and clean. You have far more faith in humanity than I do. The sentences square away if you understand that you can be a horrible person do horrible things and never break a law.
  5. I certainly am now. But my original comment that made you somehow accuse me of assuming trump was innocent, was in no way both siding the argument.
  6. hhhmmm what are the odds the Prov gives these funds away to the private sector instead of investing in Health care/infrastructure etc etc.
  7. "If you can't give examples that means it's nothing" is also a bs argument. Again, show me where I said repubs don't need to be held accountable. I'll wait. I 100% DID NOT both sides it. I said, Being charged/breaking laws/not breaking laws does NOT EQUATE TO GOODNESS/LAWFULNESS/ANTI CORRUPTION. I've since given examples throughout history that prove that. That's it. That was my original post. The only time I mentioned trump, was when I was saying he would not be put in jail BECAUSE of corruption. Everything else is all you people putting words in my mouth. You said I must think trump is innocent. Someone else said I think everyone must agree with me and that because everyone else is bad, no one should be accountable. lol. Read what I said....and tell me where I said everyone is bad so no one should be held accountable. I CAN show you where I said Repubs are worse right now. You seemingly ignore that though. I'm not ever going to back down and give either side a break because one side happens to be worse. That's ridiculous. It's not both siding anything to say, just because you're not breaking a law doesn't mean your a good person. The most obvious example is Hitler. But there are many more. It's my opinion that if you become a president of a corrupt nation, you are likely a pretty horrible person in general. There's obviously degrees to that - Trump vs Biden for example. Should Biden be charged with something...not that I'm aware of. Does that mean he's not currently corrupt and deserving of jail time..? I have a hard time believing he isn't.
  8. No it isn't. And the dems have major issues. That comparison isn't fair imo. We say things like both are only accountable to the rich/corporations etc....as if that hasn't led to proxy wars and the horrors that come with that. Or over inflation of the for profit jail system. Both political parties have absolutely ruined lives if not just flat out killed people. Trump is an absolute idiot in how blatant he's been and is an obvious target, who again...needs to be held accountable. That doesn't mean people on the left aren't involved with just as serious incidents, they're just far better at hiding them or working within the system to get away with it.
  9. Again, you're some how coming up with a bunch of stuff I never said lol. This started by someone saying both parties are corrupt...17to85 then questioned that, by asking what Biden is being charged with. I simply stated, being charged/not being charged does not equate to a moral/unmoral person. Many people who have been on the side of justice have been charged with a crime....likewise many horrible things have been done because it was legal (see slavery). My argument has nothing to do with Trump. After I pointed out that breaking/not breaking laws isn't a deciding factor in one's potential for corruption etc....17to85 made the accusation that I must believe Trump is innocent....im assuming because I believe corruption exists on both sides (as history has shown). Feel free to go through every post I've ever made. Ive always said Trump is a con man. That's what he's always been. He should be held accountable. I'm not going to suddenly pretend democrats have no issues just because Trump is a pos. I don't care what you believe. But it is my opinion that if you aren't willing to see the corruption on the left both now and in the past, simply because the right is worse, THAT is a problem. A very serious problem. Ok I think I understand where you misunderstood me. When i said Trump isn't going to jail. That does not mean, I don't want him to, or that I don't want the justice system to try and get him put away. It absolutely should. That would be the just thing. I said he isn't going to jail, BECAUSE the system is corrupted and it would set a precedent (among other things) that the system can not abide too. I want Trump in jail, but I have no reason to believe a corrupted system is going to follow through.
  10. To be fair, that was really his bread and butter for a good chunk of his career.
  11. 100% no. I don't understand why people refuse to see that an American president will not ever be sent to jail. That sets a precedent that corrupt system wants no part of. Regardless of what you see in the media. And once again, 2 things can be true at the same time. Saying the dems are bad does not automatically = repubs are good. This dumb ass binary that people operate in is the problem. And until people start to understand rich donors donate to both sides, things won't change. I have a hard time understanding how people like you assume that what I said somehow translates to Trump is innocent....honestly...how do you get there? You're right (afawk anyway) that one party is trying to mess up that "democracy" down there. But if you somehow think that's where the corruption ends...you got some homework to do. Most presidents should be put on trail for war crimes. Democrats brought in 3 strikes. No one fixed the poison water issue in flint. Etc etc. Just to clarify, in case you somehow get confused by what I'm saying. Republicans are mostly **** heads. Democrats are mostly **** heads. They're BOTH apart of a horribly corrupt system. I'm in no way taking away from the crimes of anyone...thinking that is imo ******* stupid, ignorant, and a huge ******* problem. If I'm being honest. People who think that way are as much of a problem as people who see past what Trump has done and maybe....(well maybe not) just as blinded by "their side". You having a hard time with reading comprehension? Re-read what I wrote and try again.
  12. You do understand that you can 100% be a giant piece of ****, be a morally corrupt individual and not break any laws right? That country being in the position it is now does not land on the feet of one party. Suggesting it does, is ignorant at best.
  13. Has Allen been coaching somewhere? And I'm not sure AC has been looked over, he will move up eventually, but he has what, 2 yrs coaching in the CFL now?
  14. Dunk thought Harris leaving wpg was gonna be huge and the bombers would take a step back. Thought CGY would wi the west. Hodge speculated back in 2019 that collaros would sign elsewhere. Etc etc. These guys are just guessing. Here's my guess....when/if Walters leaves, the Bombers will replace him with Huff....there see.....anyone can say random ****.
  15. I dont know. They've certainly showed it (that weird make shift town thing in seattle) but not at the same rate.
  16. Danny Austin is claiming the league doesn't care about CGY....because...their labour day game starts at 5pm. AND Hamilton doesn't come to CGY...I wish I was kidding. What an absolute joke. Know who doesn't care about CGY? ******* CGY
  17. He may get on to the roster this week depending on how badly hurt Mike White is.
  18. This is easy to say for people who aren't related to her. If it was my wife/daughter/mother etc etc I'd be pressing everyone to get them home by any means necessary. People may not like the trade, but at the end of the day it was the right thing to do.
  19. I don't think it can even be properly argued. The far right is and has been more of a threat for a while. As has been posted, thats according to people far more qualified than I. The left certainly have some nuts, but they usually stick to absolutely horrible policy/law/regulations type of stuff. A lot less violence from the left compared to the Right. People often point to "Antifa" as a left wing terrorist group. But as far as I know, there has been zero evidence that they are actually a organization on the level of say...the proud boys (lol). You can type out a personal story all you want. 1 anecdotal situation proves absolutely nothing. Boomers are the majority of voters right now and have been for decades. Look at our society/our leaders. That's just one example. The world is in the position it's in (both good and bad) largely because of the boomer generation. As for your story...you're missing the point. Yeah millennials etc. have their far share of nut bags...but who raised those nut bags?
  20. This isn't the burn you think it is. It speaks more to the lack of proper parenting by YOUR generation than anything else. Though I will say I think Boomers get way more worked from rage farms than any other generation.
