Alberta isn't leaving, lol.

Like Trump's rhetoric, it's the textbook deranged musings of a narcissist (if you don't do what I want, you'll be sorry!) both to get attention and try to control.

And like Trump's rhetoric, the possibility of Alberta separation only fools the exceptionally stupid.

I though Trump was going to chicken out like he always does. He didn't on the 35%, but he essentially did anyways since most trade is under the USMCA agreement he "authored" under his previous administration and thus exempt. He is all bark and no bite, just like traitor Danielle Smith and her minions.

Experience has shown me that narcissists aren't worth dealing with. Lots of Canadians agree with me, both in regards to US tariffs, and so-called 'western alienation'. Even people I know who live in Alberta.

We will and already have found new trade partners. New tourist destinations. Our economy stands to gain huge being separated from the USA where their interests are and have always been keeping us as a sustenance economy based primarily on resources.

Trump is a huge opportunity for Canada if they play it right. Already, we have freer trade within our national borders. More can be done and hopefully will. National projects for reliable energy can now started(and we now have the fast-track legislation in place) but don’t be surprised if they are stifled for green energy waste instead.

The reliable energy projects are things that Canadians unbelievably voted to avoid in the last decade and transferred billions in wealth to Middle Eastern countries and Russia instead of taking for ourselves in the foolish idea that it somehow was saving the world.

One thing I had not thought of until reading about it the other day is that with our free trade agreement with the US allowing most of our stuff to enter the US tariff-free, we now have a big advantage over other countries that have across-the-board tariffs, which may turn out to be a big economic win.

I remind people that the free trade agreement that is currently providing a massive economic benefit for this country is a huge lasting benefit brought to you by the conservatives 30 years ago and was literally opposed by the liberals and NDP in a near one subject election. That combined with the lower standard of living from the Liberals and NDP over the last decade are all you need to know as to why you want to always vote conservative(and thank your lucky stars that people did for Mulroney). The others are literally destructive to our standard of living, keeping most poor with minimal handouts and making up for it with fees and taxes such as massive GST gains on inflated prices.

They use their horrible insults like racist and bring up false issues like abortion to trigger you into a foolish vote.

Meanwhile, they say stupid things like TACO as an insult designed to piss off Trump who then decides that he will make sure not to give us tariff relief and we end up with more economic damage. These people are destructive to our standard of living. Meanwhile, we protect our economic hostage-takers by supporting the cartels that keep much of our food prices higher while sacrificing other industries to protect that.

And remember, just the GDP of Toronto exceeds that of all of Alberta.
The significant proportion of GDP of Toronto is based on banking, government and a real estate bubble.
None of which create wealth, they just move the creation of others in circles.

Carney going to give billions to the softwood industry. This is the same industry that jacked up prices 250% in 2021, the infamous 10 dollar 2x4. Why didn't they put any money away for a rainy day and why is the taxpayer on the hook to save them?

When will the spending stop?

Some people voted in Carney as they thought he would be the faster option to dissolve Canada.
Trudeau told everyone that "Canada is a post-national state" for a decade and schools raised children on it.

PP spent the last 20 years accomplishing nothing for his constituents My point is you've basically admitted PP will do nothing to fight the monopolies. Every boomer I know says he's "fighting the elites" yet meeting at their houses? :smt040

There is an irony for his new constituents that are mostly new hire government bureaucrats that voted him out. The conservative policy for government workers was to decrease government workers through retirements. Now they face mass layoff by Carney.

I'm simply pointing out that you are a fraud with your double standards. PP around billionaires has you criticizing him. Carney....not so much.

What exactly could PP actually do for his constituents over the last decade as the liberals lowered the standard of living for Canadians by chasing away massive investment and criminalized society with repeat offenders let out over and over again.

As for the previous 10 years of PP, he was a minister in a government that had a much lower crime rate and he voted to approve the natural resource projects that are saving Canada's economic life during our current economic war with the US. That is a hell of a lot.

Did you ask me how I feel about Carney?

My point was, if you're expecting change with PP I have a bridge to sell you.

Your own comment complained about the liberals not fighting the grocery monopoly, but your poster child is asking for funds at their mansions.

Are you mad about repeat offenders? Ask your province to fund the courts. I don't know where you live but the courts in Ontario are incredibly under funded, and the jails are over capacity. Bail is a charter right, and realistically if there's no space to put them, that's why they get out.

If you don't believe me, here are sources:

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ ... -1.7135927
All charges under the Criminal Code of Canada, the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, the Youth Criminal Justice Act and most other federal statutes start off in the Ontario Court of Justice. Approximately 95% of these charges are also completed in the Ontario Court of Justice.
https://www.ontariocourts.ca/ocj/criminal-court/

The system can't even handle the current load of trials, without promising to fund them, and places to put criminals (and somehow ignoring charter rights) what would changing laws do?

I don't disagree with a lot of Pierre's goals, the thing is as opposition, he doesn't have to worry about pesky things like charter rights or treaties. I don't like Carney but for the most part he has committed to follow the laws that govern the country.

I don't give a F--- about charter rights for repeat offenders and overcrowding. Happy to work on more jails second and repeat offenders into overcrowded jails first.

And PP was talking about using the notwithstanding clause to override these demented people on the left that consistently put the rights of violent offenders ahead of innocent Canadians.

Looks like you are one of them. I do pray that if there has to be a victim of a repeat offender, that it is someone voting for the policies that unleash them on us.

So you're saying you don't live in reality?

I want bad people in jail, but you need to commit to building them first..

There is no space in the jails, where will you put them? They're already putting mattresses on the floor.

Pierre didn't commit to any funding for courts, or to build new jails. Stuff them to 500% capacity, all of them will walk after 2 years because there isn't anyone to take them to trial. Have you heard of the Jordan clock?

When you say "put the rights of violent ahead" you realize people awaiting trial are presumed innocent?

Nice tantrum btw :roll: You're hoping I get attacked for the sin of disagreeing with you? No wonder you folks lost the election.

Typical fraud that changes what I said.

Probably the type that whines about El Salvador’s overcrowded jails and ignores the thousands of lives saved.

In consideration of the innocent until proven guilty statement you made, I would be willing to save the overcrowding areas for the convicted.

Time to override the demented left that prioritizes criminal rights over innocent people.

Economic war with the US?

Hold on a minute, it wasn't all that long ago that you were advocating for the Federal Government to scrap any and all trade barriers with the US "for the greater good" of a free trade agreement. Now you're calling this an economic war, how can that be?

I think Carney recently did much of that.

But he has kept the dairy tariffs in place, one of the biggest irritants between countries.

Quick reminder to people.....that free trade agreement that is saving our economy right now from catastrophe......the liberals ran an entire election opposing it. Thank your lucky stars about good conservative policies.

OK, then, please explain to me what you meant by if they attacked someone I hope it’s someone like you…


I can’t believe I have to explain this, but it’s almost everybody in *jail* is legally innocent, and waiting for trial. (Prison is the bad one buddy) THAT IS THE OVERCROWDED PART!

Pretty much every single person you’re complaining about when it comes to bail is in that boat!


It’s amazing to hear people complain about the communist, liberal government and the overreach when it came to the truckers, but they’re OK with people being arrested for literally having the wrong tattoo in El Salvador!

You are literally advocating for a Gestapo style government over each. I personally feel there is a balance between what we have now and El Salvador. What we need to do is fun to the fucking courts so people get trial and from the prison so there’s actually space to put potentially dangerous people waiting for trial!

Isn’t it ironic that the rule of law and family values crowd voted in a guy who was convicted for stealing from a charity, rape, and is ignoring the courts?

I assume you mean NAFTA. It's funny how selective a person's memory can be when they talk about how "great" a deal that was for the Canadian economy... unless you were in manufacturing, forestry, and many other fields.

To summarize a document from Policy Alternatives released on the 10th anniversary of the deal:
Despite increased trade with the U.S., NAFTA led to job losses, depressed wages, reduced social programs, and widened income inequality. Productivity gains benefited corporations more than workers.
As noted NAFTA benefited large corporations, not workers. So to claim that this has somehow "saved" our economy is BS. Unless of course the only metric you care about is dividends and stock returns.

Or were you referring to CUSMA/USMCA, in which case TACO has already said it was the worst deal in history - regardless of the fact that he negotiated and signed it...

No, I mean Free Trade. John Turner and the liberals claimed that the conservatives had sold us out.

You can watch the liberal fool argument right here(and thank the conservatives for saving the economy all these years later). And guess what?....it was actually the liberals who agreed to NAFTA and bringing Mexico into the deal. Then the frauds accuse me of having a selective memory.

The “left” who illegally occupied Ottawa for weeks impunity.
Isn’t it ironic that the rule of law and family values crowd voted in a guy who was convicted for stealing from a charity, rape, and is ignoring the courts?
Another fraud argument from the left. I bring up Canada's policies about crime and the demented policy supporters talk about Trump(as if he has anything to do with the discussion).

Oh pelmet I wasn’t talking about you silly pants! That was directed at the MAGA voters in the US


Though Are you denying you brought up free trade? (And therefore the orange man)

You have nothing to say about the realities of the court system? (You didn’t even know the difference between jail and prison but want to start a gestapo?) Or that little dig about hoping I get attacked?

Won’t even stand behind what you post 😂

OK, then, please explain to me what you meant by if they attacked someone I hope it’s someone like you…
You voted for the policy, I truly hope that if a repeat offender is let out and harms someone, it is a person that voted for the policy instead of someone who voted against the policy.

"In 2022, there were 256 people charged with homicide while on some kind of release, including house arrest and parole. With 874 homicides in 2022, the 256 people charged while on release would equate to 29% of all homicides."

THINK about that next time you associate me with Gestapo.

And what kind of a response do we get from NewlyGrounded for those 256 murdered people(in one year)?

Tell me Pelmet, describe in detail what the policy I voted for? Can you actually describe it without exaggerating?

I specifically said I'd like the provincial government to FUND THE COURTS and build more jails! Guess who never mentioned this? PP. His plans had ZERO mention of allocating funding to the provincial courts which handle nearly 100% of criminal cases...

I want change! I want people to be put away, but you won't fix this by longer sentences (PP's only plan in regards to crime) if they don't even make it to trial due to delays!

A) You go on about the provincial government to fund courts and build more jails and then slam PP for not mentioning this. Why must I explain to you that PP leader of the FEDERAL Conservative party.

B) Why must you lie about PP and say that his only plan regarding crime is longer sentences. A big part of his platform was "Pass a Three Strikes and You’re Out law to ban bail, parole and house arrest for repeat serious criminals." Now, remember those 256 people that I mentioned(and of course you never mention) that were murdered by criminals out on bail and house arrest. Probably at least half if not more would not be murdered in future years if the policy were implemented. Think about that next time you continue to prove my initial statement correct that you have zero credibility based on you misleading statements(or intentional lies).

Seeing as I strongly suspect you didn't vote for the Conservative party, I would suspect that you have repeatedly voted for a party that supported Bill C-75. Based on your statements on this thread, it is obvious that you support the bill.
