Fuck, white people are stupid, especially you.

Wizer is hardly the first person to make comments about posts in this thread.

I don't know what some people expected to read. The thread title should give a pretty strong hint of what is contained in these nearly twenty thousand posts.

The NDP's new national leader, Avi Lewis advocates for a rapid shift away from hydrocarbon energy by means of a Canadian "Green New Deal," which he says is both a moral imperative and an economic opportunity.

He is opposed to building any new fossil fuel infrastructure, including pipelines, offshore projects, and liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals. And he believes that "investing" 2% of Canada's GDP — roughly $65 billion — on "climate action" will create more than a million high-paying unionized jobs installing solar panels and heat pumps. This is the so-called "just transition" which will protect our oil and gas workers from losing their jobs even as the industry that employs them is dismantled.

He argues that if we pour tax dollars into wind and solar projects, we will be able to create a coast-to-coast "clean" energy power grid, and thus a "Clean and Green" Canada.

All of this, along with a guaranteed taxpayer-funded income for all, national rent control, government-run grocery stores to combat rising food prices, and on and on.

Best of all, says Lewis, "the money is there!" All the government has to do is take it. That is, by taxing the daylights out of, well, everyone, but especially our oil and gas companies and other job creators.

It seems needless to say — though apparently it still needs saying — that this grab-bag of Neo-Marxist bromides would be disastrous for Canada.

Like it or not — and Lewis and the NDP don't like it — the oil and gas sector is the backbone of Canada's economy, our "golden goose" (in the memorable words of economists Philip Cross and jackass Mintz), which bolsters employment within the energy industry and beyond, drives exports and manufacturing, and supplies government revenue. It contributes around 15% of Canada's GDP.

Indeed

I watched Trump's address last night. He delivered a clear plan with timelines, an exit plan, and consequences if Iran does not comply.

This morning In read the Financial Times and they spun it as bluster, threats of escalation(as opposed to a primise), uncertainty and an open ended war with no end in sight.

Every other legacy media source seems to be involved in the same spin.

 Ive seen men who do just fine being at home. MY man works from home. He is always here.

 He took care of his mother for many years.

 He is very much the man.

But your man wasn't a house husband.

He was more of a caretaker to his mom.

and seems he ran or runs some kind of home based business.

Quote from: Lokmar on April 01, 2026, 03:06:32 PMReal men dont pull out.....of women anyway. They also dont dress in drag. Also, they aint gay.

And yet I kinda feel sorry for the guy...Lokmar.

All these years it must've been hard for him being in his wife's shadow, more or less being her lap dog.

And it finally caught up to him/her

Seems Kristi was too strong (and too smart) for him.

I've known guys who become house husbands & it turns them into weak men unless they were that way to begin with.

They're often very miserable.
