So you must really care that the popes “visit” cost 50+ million?

I do care that the popes visit cost 50 million. I think it's the worst money this country maybe has ever spent. Especially when the Catholic Church still owes billions of dollars to canada in reparations. Maybe we should have taken it out of their debt at best.
Religion has been duping hard working people out of money for millenniums, BUT, I'm not going to get upset if someone wants to believe it in their own lives. It has no place in the financials of a country though, and they should be treated like a business like everything else. Although it's not like massive corporations have to pay their share of taxes either, so maybe it's on brand.

Where's the outrage?!! AF1 probably costs 100x as much for that hop frm DC to Ottawa than Trudeau's pricey hotel stay in London. Why can't Biden take Amtrak or Greyhound and be more sensitive to his constituents' needs?

Oh right, 'murica gets a free pass :accepted:

Great pic! Surprised there isn't more visible security on the ground guarding this bird.

That's exactly my thought too!

And the dude with the hi-vis vest on the left -- he looks just like your regular airport employee that works that particular position on a normal basis. I wonder whether any additional security checks were required from him -- or whoever is working at that particular airport terminal / gate requires additional security clearance to be working there that day.

Guy is senile! Thanks for preventing a 2nd Trump term but please retire, don't run again.


Hondaracer 03-25-2023 10:19 AM

Imagine if that was trump. Every news outlet everywhere would be running his gaffes non stop 24/7 but with Biden it’s like ehhh he’s old lol

He’s very clearly unfit to run the most powerful nation on earth

Hahaha fuck you PP, can’t you at least play along for fuck sakes.

Pretty sure that is in reference to the carbon tax contributing to Canadians going broke and not a comment on trans people.


Manic! 04-01-2023 05:42 PM

Do people who use the word woke even know what it means?

Con author trying to explain it. FYI she can't.

People can't even agree on the basic definition of words anymore. This one does a pretty good job:

That fact that you had to post an over 2-minute video instead of just telling me proves my point.

It's just another boogie man term used by the right to control people.

Traum 04-01-2023 06:42 PM

And that's the beauty of PeePee saying what he said, because make no mistake -- PeePee is a very intelligent person. He will easily claim the meaning mentioned by BB is what he meant as a defensive measure when other people presses him for it. But in reality, he is just acting like the anti-LGBTQ+ person that he has always been.

And his support bases knows what he means, so they keep cheering for him.

Except you didn't ask me to give my own definition of the word.

"Do people who use the word woke even know what it means?" Yes and here is someone who defines it pretty well in my opinion. I post the tweet after explaining that I believe people can't even agree on the definition of words anymore, which is to say it is a pointless endeavor to discuss topics under those conditions. If you had responded in a way that suggested you wanted an honest discussion, I might be more inclined to respond in kind. You ended up proving my point.

Peepee is the perfect example of "the morons genius."
Use some buzzwords and be vague enough that various demographics of people can say "that guy is smart and he thinks the same as I do so that means I'm smart!"

Hondaracer 04-01-2023 07:24 PM

Yea I wish we could have a “real” smart guy like Turd in power

westopher 04-01-2023 07:29 PM

You think I like Trudeau a lot more than I do I think. Chrystia Freeland is smart. I'd be much happier with her as the liberal leader, however, with the platforms that they put forward that were important to me, that were not delivered, I wouldn't be voting for them again. Conservatives have nothing in their platform that I believe in, so it won't be them either. They are busy talking about vaccines (still? WHO FUCKING CARES STILL) and drag shows, when I want to hear about education and healthcare, and I sure as shit don't want to hear about how privatizing it will help.
Conservatives are wasting their time pandering to idiots to keep them from voting for the PPC when that's like 5% of their voting base, when they should be pushing their efforts to getting centre left voters to vote centre right because they are sick of being broke when they make 3-4x the median household income in any major city.
It's still canada, and anyone with any understanding of what makes this country less of a shithole than the US is that we actually do put human rights like healthcare as a priority, and have for our entire lives up to this point.

Hondaracer 04-01-2023 07:45 PM

If Freeland became PM the libs would fall into a 10+ year drought of influence. Trudeau is infinitely more likeable than her. I don’t think even the most staunch liberals could stomach her long term

To this day, I hope it still means not asleep. What is the other meaning?

Did you even know what the word was 4 years ago? It's something that comes from the US. Cons in Canada are just copying the US.
