You think actual commentary involves posting the same stupid videos and graphic(s) over and over and over and over again?
You’ve used these videos and the graphic above like 10 times each now. You’re literally a bot at this point.

Holy fuck 3 pages of arguing about trans crap, meanwhile Thailand recently did this: Thailand allocates millions to provide HRT for 200,000 trans citizens https://uk.news.yahoo.com/thailand-a...pILQvXhURbs9Ax
Who the fuck cares about this stuff, it's such an esoteric non-issue.
This whole transphobia crap is simply a means for the conservative right to ram culture war garbage down susceptible minds as a conduit to vote against their own best interests. Even the trans sports stuff these morons are parroting is a complete nothing burger. https://www.msnbc.com/top-stories/la...der-rcna191171
"Of the more than 500000 NCAA student athletes, fewer than 10 of them are trans"
The president, political actors, right-leaning news networks, all allocating hours and hours to scream about less than 10 people competing in some random sport. You have to be patently retarded to have this issue in the top 50 of your hierarchy of needs.
It's fucking nauseating. When I meet someone and they bring up trans stuff, I immediately know they're a fucking idiot.

I've received emails through my website of people who frequent this forum and are very happy I am back posting, because WokeScene has become an echo chamber.
The very fact that CivicBlues is so triggered by someone who doesn't agree with him fully is proof I should be allowed to post here. That guy has not had his views challenged in a very, very long time.

No one cares about Mark Carney's daughter - it's not politics. It's his personal life.
No one cares about COVID "hoax" - go back to 2021 you fucking senile grandpa. Everyone has moved on.
No one cares about the graves here either whether or not it was real or not. Go troll on some indigenous forum board or 4chan or whatever the fuck.

We should care about Mark Carney's daughter, Mark is clearly okay with radical gender ideology.
The COVID hoax directly affected millions and millions of Canadians, some still to this day.
Your last statement is so absolutely ridiculous that you come across like a CCP agent yourself. Why would you not even care that the entire country was lied to, and millions and millions of dollars given to an Indian band over something that has not had a shred of proof or evidence dug up? The band is asking for 40+ more million dollars... based on what?

I see at least 4 people here arguing against you at this very moment.
You've got one guy hanging off your ball sack. But even then the best he can muster is "Liberals Suck LOL".
Show me all these emails of support you're supposedly getting.

I haven't seen anything positive coming out from conservatives + pp in the ads they have been blasting besides complaining about NDP pensions, and insults like carbon tax Carney or other 3 word slogan insults. Nothing about how they will defend Canada from trump or how they will make Canada great again. How they will bring down the bring downs.
Meanwhile first day in Carney already got ride of the carbon tax.
Conservatives just sounds like the annoying friend that bitches about everything but never listens to anyone's advice.

I can say I enjoy Jason’s rambling. He might be wrong for some topics, but he’s not entirely wrong about other things.

Another thought / observation I have about Carney.
He gets testy when reporters ask him about his assets, or his declarations on his investments, and it is not a one-off incident -- it has happened at least a couple of times now.
For the Cons, I don't understand how they cannot smell blood here. PeePee has certainly poked Carney a few times about it, but they haven't gone hard at it yet, and I can't understand why.
Clearly it is an issue that gets under Carney's skin. When someone becomes impatient, it is much easier to lose his composure, and lacking composure under fire is a disastrous trait in any leader.
On the flip side for Carney, I can't understand how his campaign advisors haven't thoroughly coached him through his responses to the question. I would assume they have already done so, but Carney is not receptive of that coaching. This is gonna hurt him if he doesn't come up with a good handle on his temper and his response. At this point, I find his response a little lacking. As time passes, if his handling of the questions and the situation do not improve, that would spell trouble for him because the Cons are definitely gonna capitalize on it, and paint him as having a major conflict of interest issue. And repeated non-answers are gonna make voters suspicious of him regardless of whether there is any substance behind the accusations.

I think that the Cons attack ads on TV on Carney do focus on the theme of "conflict of interest". They call him sneaky. -more like hypocrisy?
Brookfield Asset Management's offices were moved from Toronto to New York according to the Cons attack ad. Their argument is how can you trust a politician that does things behind the eyes of the Canadian public when Carney is supposed to defend Canada? Sneaky? Carney says things to defend Canada and yet some of his business dealings involve moving his assets to New York. That is the Cons' argument. He is a hypocrite?

Carney probably easily over $50M networth? Why hide it though, everyone know he’s loaded with his credentials.
Make PP disclose his networth to raise some eyebrows and divert attention to him

We all know Carney is loaded. Big deal.
I hate the Con's Brookfield attack ads bcos much like a lot of things that the Cons have said, it is disingenious. Why is that incident a conflict of interest? Carney was a board member at the time when the HQ move took place, so of course he should act in the interest of the company at the time. Besides as I understand it, it was the coroprate registration that got changed, so the HQ moved from Canada to the US. But no Canadian jobs were lost in the process. It was understanding the rules, and playing to the rules to maximize the company's profits. It is literally what every private company does.
If anything, PeePee's threats to cut CBC funding will directly lead to huge job losses, as well as causing serious harms to CBC's broadcasting services.

So many Con voters wanted someone who could make the economy better… put a successful businessman in charge of the Lib party and suddenly oh noes he has assets!
The real thing for them is “anything but the Liberal party no matter who is running it or what they say” and doesn’t matter who’s running the Conservative Party or what they might lose. Blind party voting.
As long as he abides by the standards set in place, which is blind trust, good enough for me. Petition for new standards if that’s not good enough. Trump didn’t even bother his first or second terms with ANY of the requirements and ran shit tonnes of government business through his own businesses, that’s exactly how not to do it.

Anyone who thinks Canada is going to vote in a government that is aligned with the will of the people and not the oligarchs and billionaires in charge is absolutely fucking dreaming. Vote red, vote blue, both sides are 100% controlled by the same people. The fact that your average Canadian is happy to vote for a career banker who is connected to the richest people in the world is a maple-flavoured practical joke.
Our political system is pure theatre. Ideological subservience is the #1 thing that gets you elected, not being a champion of the people or having any sort of independent spine or beliefs. We all saw what happened with Jody Wilson-Raybould... or did we experience it differently?
Canada will continue to decline in the standard of living if you're not a multi-millionaire in control of assets, wealth, and you barely have to work. Getting that bag is the only thing that counts in Canada, because our culture is designed to simply keep the 9-5 slaves working their 9-5 slave jobs.
For the average 9-5 worker, your life will get more expensive, the propaganda will become more overt, and you'll be expected to go along with everything because "elbows up" is the new "get vaccinated", and if there is one thing Canadians are good at, it is blindly following orders and letting their TV do the thinking for them.
Who is in a better position to see society for what it is built for, than someone who worked 1 hour a day for over a decade for fabulous money, then went back into the "real world" to see how the lower classes struggle, before I'm about to get rich again?

Thank God we are all old enough that we got to live through the absolute best years of Canada in the 90's and 00's where the Canadian way of life was fucking amazing, the young people today are experiencing the NDP and Liberal decimation of our culture, society, and standards of living. To be in your teens or your 20's, especially as a man, in 2025 would be a nightmare compared to how good we had it, all while boomers and gen x are now wealthy and voting for more of the same:
