And enriching the coffers of selected pharmaceutical companies offering untested experimental snake oil.

Seems to me their special friends made bank and then some off the Dem's efforts. Helicopter rides for all concerned, I say. If Trump's actions are the benchmark for improper behaviour, he can wait his turn... we have a bunch of libtards to throw in the woodchipper first.

Quote from: formosan on April 10, 2025, 11:02:05 AMThat was a terrible mistake.

And one that was made on purpose. Don't doubt it; a transmissible pathogen is loose in the community, the first order of the day from those allegedly concerned with your welfare is afford you less choice of where you might get your food and other consumables. Creating a social chokepoint that everyone must pass through... presumably to make the pathogen spread more readily than less.

Shit, I was in Ottawa when this whole thing took off and was astounded to learn that fare collection had been suspended on the public transport, effectively encouraging all and sundry to pile into those sardine cans known as OCtranspo busses and trains for free, to handle the same fixtures and breathe each others air.

They wanted this thing to spread, they did everything in their power to make it happen. And to make a tidy proft for their Special Friends on the side... all at yours and my expense.

Quote from: Shen Li on April 13, 2025, 12:30:24 AMOf course he's going to win. He will prolly get a majority too.

He'll be the last PM of Canada with it's current borders. Alberta and Saskatchewan will get a good offer from the US to join and the people there will vote with their own personal best interests and accept Trump's generous offer.

I'll be happy. All my investments back in Canada will be dollarized instead of the Canadian peso.

The premiers of Alberta and Saskatchewan have already drawn up a list of musts and Carney is saying no to most of them. It's going to get bad for Canada. And one year from now Conman Carney will be as hated as Justine was.

Quote from: JOE on April 13, 2025, 01:27:09 AMYou'll make money with Carney Shen Li Shen!

I'm gonna invest in gas 'n oil, eh?

Even if the Stock Market crashes, that'll be one of Canada's Bright spots.

Europe is super anxious to get rid of dependence on Russia so they'll help finance Canada's new energy infrastructure.

China, too eh Shen.

Jo Jo Sugarplum, this why I manage our money.

Mr Carney will keep bill C-69, the emissions cap, and the Impact Assessment ensuring no new pipelines are ever built.

I'll invest our money in oil and gas but not in Canada. That is what Mr Carney does.

Quote from: Dove on April 13, 2025, 10:26:53 AMSadly yes. That's why they use celebrities so much.

 In fact Hollywood has been ground zero for spreading the woke ideas and mentality we see today. It's insidious because if you start unpacking a lot of the ideas and biases and such you have, you'll probably find you got it from a show or from movies or music.

 I remember back in the very 90s my grandma called this out. She was flipping through TV channels and started talking about how "they" want to ruin the nuclear family by attacking the integrity and authority of the father. She called out the attack on men and masculinity a long time ago.

 She got that from all the shows. Married with Children. Simpsons. Where the father is presented as a selfish idiot that everyone humors, while the mother quietly runs it all in the back ground.

 For years people believed that lemmings will gather in large groups and fling themselves off cliffs because Disney did a nature doc and they showed a group of lemmings running off a cliff. They didn't do it naturally...someone ran them off of it, they didn't show that part. They presented it as the lemmings just DO that.

 And for decades people bought that with NO question. And there is a saying that people who just do things because the group does it are "like lemmings"....which is just pure irony. 

 Anyway my point is yes, celebs and media and programming all have a ridiculous and scary level of influence over how we all think. Have you seen "Swifties"? They'll actually pay thousands of dollars to see her perform. They'll definitely adopt her ideas.

I worked for Canadian Pacific Railway for thirty five years. I never worked with anybody who changed their opinions because of what actors or musicians had to say.

Quote from: Brent on April 12, 2025, 02:14:31 PMDoes any working American let celebrity opinions influence them? I don't know anybody who has stopped driving because Leonardo Dicaprio calls them selfish.

I think progtard elites believe we are so dumb we can be influenced by those schmucks' opinions.

 Sadly yes. That's why they use celebrities so much.

Quote from: Shen Li on April 13, 2025, 01:34:39 AMOf course I'll make money when Mark Carnage wins. As former Refotrm Party leader Preston Manning said, he is the greatest threat to national unity Canada has ever seen.

You watch, the US will make a sweet offer to Alberta and Saskatchewan. This will include full statehood, no income taxes for a few years, no transfer payments to loser provinces and most importantly a one for one CDN peso-dollar conversion. My investments in Canada, will automatically go up at least 30%.

Canada will be fukt without 2 of it's 3 economic engines. But, that's Canada's problem, not mine.

Western provinces' patience has ran out with the Liberals. Carney will not pivot on his climate extremist agenda.

I too expect a national unity crisis.

How do you measure if celebrity endorsements help or not. And Mike Myers career best is behind him.
