I don't have all the answers...but neither do you.

@GadSaad Hey! Are you cheering on Canada? This is a first!

@Smileyyeg It’s statements like this that made your sister decide to shun you.

I’m going to break down the communism reply all you meatheads like to use, so that you can understand it, hopefully.

Calling someone “a communist” because you disagree with one policy position is just stupidity.

Communism is a specific economic system: collective ownership of the means of production, abolition of private property, command economy. It’s not a synonym for “government program I don’t like” or “tax I think is too high.”

By that logic every G7 country, including Canada, the US, the UK, Germany, is “communist” because they all have public healthcare, public pensions, progressive taxation, and regulated markets. None of those things are communism. They’re features of mixed-market capitalist economies that every developed nation on earth runs in some form.

If you call someone a communist for supporting universal healthcare, a carbon tax, or a child benefit, you’re not making a political argument. You’re just admitting you don’t know what the word means, and hoping the insult lands harder than the actual policy debate would.

Long story short, it makes you look like an idiot! And we all laugh at you!

@DebbieE46116279 @elie_mcn You mean like the guy who can’t say anything except Canada is broken?

[Bill MacLean @MacMacs44]

@Smileyyeg Which is why there’s no point in trying to make any sense of it

[Bill MacLean @MacMacs44]

@onslotton @ThatVeganJin Swedes, Norwegians, and Finns don’t seem to mind it.

[Bill MacLean @MacMacs44]

@SensMoggerr He didn’t say that at all. No hockey player would.

[Bill MacLean @MacMacs44]

@KMLOnt Wouldn’t that have been fun! Everyone shooting at anything that moved in Montreal.

@nakedpoetraven Just as we are born atheist, born apolitical, amoral, non-racist… it’s our cultural upbringing that skews things. Some accept what they are told…others explore different avenues. I’m glad I found naturism!

[Bill MacLean @MacMacs44]

@Smileyyeg Finally…something intelligent from you. Everyone wants to use this idiot’s ramblings for their political agenda…as if he represents something other than the lunatic fringe. I wish they’d quit giving him some legitimacy.

[Bill MacLean @MacMacs44]

@OurNaturistLife @Visaman Well…my mother said it “was dirty…dirty”. Thankfully I didn’t believe her

[Bill MacLean @MacMacs44]

@DJPh03NiX Of course you do

[Bill MacLean @MacMacs44]

@ezralevant You just want to use it for your political agenda…as if what the guy said really matters

[Bill MacLean @MacMacs44]

@Ghostinshell420 @libsoftiktok Too many want to use the shooter for their political agenda

[Bill MacLean @MacMacs44]

@RebelNewsOnline Who the hell cares what he was? He’s dead. Don’t give him air.

[Bill MacLean @MacMacs44]

@CanadianPro2 Maybe Alberta should separate!

[Bill MacLean @MacMacs44]

@billmaher We saw the Gerald Ford Presidential Library in Michigan. It consisted of five Archie comics, and a signed Thank You card from Nixon….😉

[Bill MacLean @MacMacs44]

@Visaman @OurNaturistLife I don’t think I believe that
