@paulsnx2@melgibso4 Western standards should always be freedom, democracy, equality, and the rule of law. We should absolutely call out countries that deny those rights, but we also need to judge individuals by their actions—not their religion. That’s what Western values are about.
@dplumma@Aliandre58@kim_gaetz Having Canadian friends doesn't give anyone a free pass to insult millions of Canadians. You can disagree with liberal policies—I certainly do—but painting everyone with the same brush says more about the speaker than the people they're criticizing.
@DJCar71@guyfelicella That's awesome!👌 What happens when you can’t afford the health insurance though? You leave with a huge bill that puts you into bankruptcy. I think I'd rather wait a bit longer. Depending on where you live in Canada those wait times might be shorter or longer, but treated.
@kim_gaetz Congrats on winning today's poll. 🏆 I'll stick with waiting for actual ballots instead of screenshots and wishful thinking. Those laughing emojis might age like milk.
@dplumma@Aliandre58@kim_gaetz You've got me all figured out... except for the Samsung, the non-American vehicle, and the fact I don't cross the border for gas. Other than that, 10/10 detective work.
@bouzis_peggy@RodKahx@bouzis_peggy Blocking me doesn't change the fact that you don’t have to like him. That’s democracy. But saying he has 'no résumé' after 20+ years in federal politics is like saying a hockey player has no experience because you don’t like his team. Not blocking a different view.
@bouzis_peggy@RodKahx History is full of ‘insignificant’ opponents who ended up changing the conversation. Stay confident until the next election, you're more than entitled to. However not being worried about him will make the election results even sweeter.
@dplumma@Aliandre58@kim_gaetz So apparently patriotism now requires giving up every piece of technology invented outside Canada? Good luck with that. I’ll keep supporting Canada while using whatever tools are available.We eliminated the Digital Services Tax on revenue earned in Canada by them, so I'll use it.
@gator_gum So when the news is bad, it's proof Canada is failing. When the news is good, it's proof of a vast right-wing distraction campaign. That's a pretty convenient theory—one where every outcome confirms the same conclusion.
@BrettErickson28 Funny... I've travelled too, and the people I met were a lot more interested in good food and where I was from than giving me a speech on American foreign policy. Maybe your itinerary included a lot of political conventions.
@MadTyAgain I want Canada to succeed, no matter who’s in office. But the measure of a government isn’t how good the talking points sound, it’s whether Canadians can afford a home, pay their bills, and see their quality of life improve. That’s the scoreboard that matters.
