Can anyway defend this allocation of Senate seats as fair and equitable?
If yes - your IQ is at most 80. Shucks.
If no - please engage in improving how Canada can move forward.
Fair and equitable governance means we are rebuilding a great nation - not patronizing parts.
For those surprised by what’s happening in France, the surprise is the strange part.
A policewoman is beaten in the street. A high school is burned by young men born in the country. Palestinian slogans go up on French walls. The president goes to the United Nations to talk about someone else. None of this is a mystery. When you import the Third World, you become the Third World. There are no exceptions.
Climate does not make a culture. Museums do not make a culture. People do. Replace Europeans with people from Africa and the Islamic world and you do not get a more colorful France. You get their culture, on French ground, with French papers.
Muslims, as a civilization, do not assimilate into a European nation. They already have one. It is the ummah, and it outranks the passport. A boy born in France who burns a French school under a foreign flag has answered the integration question. It is the ideology. Europeans treated a doctrine as a social-work problem, lost the demographics, and are now losing the street.
They are not losing it alone. The Marxist left and the liberals are carrying the Islamists to the gate, exactly as the Iranian left carried Khomeini in 1979. They hated the old order more than they feared the new one. They called the alliance progress, anti-imperialism, and solidarity. When the Islamists took power, the alliance ended.
The left was hanged from the cranes and the lamp posts, the liberals were cleared out, and the revolution kept only the believers. Europe is running that partnership again. The left thinks it is using Islam against the West. Islam is using the left against the West. The lamp posts come after the ballot box.
The next decade is not hard to sketch. As the capitals tip, those who can leave will leave. Think of South Africa: a European-built country, a demographic replacement, a ballot box that ratified the new majority, and an afterward of violence, emigration, and a state that no longer belonged to the people who built it. Europe is running the same film with a religious script added.
Remigration is the honest remedy, and past a point a democracy will not administer it. Once the new population wins the ballot box, it will not vote itself out. The window closes with the census. After that, a shrinking native population lives under rules it did not write. Some will be killed. More will be pressed into a second-class peace, the old condition of non-Muslims under Islamic rule. Convert, pay the jizya, or be killed. You may remain. You may not rule.
This does not stop at Europe. Populations change alliances. France and Britain hold nuclear weapons and submarine fleets. The warheads do not change politics when the electorate does. They change owners. America is not a spectator. A Europe that is no longer European is not an ally. It is a near shore with Western hardware and a different civilization.
Western Europe let the cancer in. It has metastasized. I do not see a cure the patient will accept in time. For Europeans who intend to remain Europeans, the answer is Noah’s, not Brussels’. Run, while running is allowed, and build where the infection has not taken. Parts of Eastern Europe are the ark. The West that existed as a people, not a museum, is not coming back by seminar.
There are no miracles in demography. There is only a majority, and whether anyone left in time to be a people somewhere else.
You were duped. Again.
We all saw the “massive” walkout from the UN general assembly. It seemed like Bibi was talking to en empty room. Some journalists even reported that. Even some Israeli journalists made that claim.
Guess what. The media lied to you. Shocked?
Here are the facts.
The footage is real. As Netanyahu walked up to speak, dozens of diplomats got up and left. It looks like most of the world refused to listen to him. Some even called it proof that Israel is now a pariah state.
And now, reality.
More than 120 countries stayed. That's nearly two-thirds of the world.
All five veto powers stayed: the U.S., China, Britain and France.
So did most of Europe. Even Ireland, one of Israel's toughest critics remained.
So who walked out? And why does it look like so many?
Each country gets six seats in this hall, so when one delegation walks out, several people stand up and walk.
And the Palestinian mission had asked countries to bring as many staff as possible and walk out together.
That can make a walkout bigger than the number of countries behind it.
In Europe, Spain was the only major country to leave its seat empty.
In Latin America, Brazil walked out.
South Africa's seats were empty too.
The rest were mostly small Caribbean island nations, which skip most speeches anyway.
Even in the Muslim world, at least two countries, UAE and Bahrain, stayed.
The walkout was real, but most of the world stayed in the room.
Just thought you’d wanna know the truth.
New Democrats call news conf to expose problem of Conservatives having interim leader. David Eby called an unnecessary election 48 hours after resignation of KLF, leaving Conservatives no choice but to appoint interim leader. Eby govt has no sense of fair play or shame.
Mark Carney’s address to the European Parliament laid bare a familiar and costly delusion.
Having moved Canada past Britain as another country purporting to straddle Europe and the United States, the Prime Minister revealed in Strasbourg his authoritarian, Davosian leftist biases more clearly than he has to Canadians. He flattered his audience by rewriting the history of WW2, asserting that freedom was won “thanks to the heroism of the European resistance.” This is rubbish. Europe was liberated (from Germany) by the Americans, British and Canadians.
He neglected to mention that Canadian exports to the United States are ten times those to Europe, or that the United States accounts for more than a third of Canada’s economy. Both speaker and audience indulged a complete fantasy of reciprocal magnetic interest. It will not last long.
For twenty years the American economy has grown more than twice as fast as the European Union’s. Europe is wallowing economically; its principal powers flounder while only Italy presently possesses a serious government.
The romantic notion that the old European powers, having squandered their leadership in the world, can simply stand on one another’s shoulders and reclaim planetary primacy is a delusion.
Goodbye UK: It really pains me to watch you crumble to ruin. But you were warned for 30 years, and you refused to listen, so your tragic decline is on you: This is how societies fail https://t.co/0UtcC2s903
@BillboardChris Chris, I’m not sure what you want. Do you want unbroken NDP government far into the future? Or can you at least accept that we need AT LEAST incremental change? And are the conservatives, tattered though they be, at least incrementally better than the flippin NDP? Hell yes.
@BillboardChris And so you really think that OneBC is a legitimate alternative? Other than splitting the vote? You want to see more years of David Eby?
Get a grip, Chris.
I am hopeful for BC right now. Eby’s disastrous record, his debt, policies, bogus accusations that Conservatives are pro-Trump, and his opportunistic election call may very well be the end of his rule.
