@JoshSievers24 @wyshynski Peterson's opinion has negative value. Chances are, if he said it, the opposite is true. Canadians, mostly, don't care for trash like him.

@TSimpsonMPA_EHS @dekebridges Not really. US is less than 3% and steady or dropping. Russia is approaching 10% and likely to accelerate. They are projected to have over 13% next year.

@MicheleScott12 @dekebridges How’s March 17…?
…2023.

This is why he just skipped the G20 in Brazil because they’d have to throw him in the slammer.

@ryangerritsen You sound like you think most people agree with you. They don’t. It’s okay to have a minority view. It’s a great think about our country. You have every right to your view. Canadian’s love freedom though, they understand it’s complicated, and they don’t support you.

[Bill MacGougan @wonka75]

@DanielBordmanOG They’re not. You are taking the bait from adolescent level live trolls spouting silly incoherent taunts.

@FcwArora @TheTweetOfGod Would you like a small serving of poutine while you wait?

[Patrick Moss 🇨🇦 @VoyceReason]

"Civics" - how OUR 🇨🇦 system of democracy actually functions - should be taught early and often in our schools.
Just the system. It's rules, norms, and division of responsibilities between federal, prov, municipal, and First Nations gov'ts.
The ignorance on here hurts my brain.

Please do everything you can to stop this. We Israelis whom oppose Netanyahu’s regime cannot stop this from within. There is no formal opposition.
Help.
Please share.

@BobRansford The fact is this irrelevant drivel is what matters to some people. Those are the votes they want.

[Bill MacGougan @wonka75]

@KrysJohn @BobRansford Next thing you know they’ll be making us wear seat-belts, not driving when we’re drunk, making car manufacturers meet emission standards, requiring a very detailed building code be met on every.single.building. The list goes on for miles and miles and miles. So many rules.

[Bill MacGougan @wonka75]

@BigMooRacing78 @BCLions @JaguarGator9NFL I’m not sure I get it but I think it would also be interesting to see this between two teams in the Lithuanian Handball League.

[Bill MacGougan @wonka75]

@elonmusk Right. I’m sure he did the costing and is committed to that. It’s not like he’s got a hate on for the current government and thinks that Canada is a communist wasteland or anything. Mr. Musk turned out to be quite the piece of work.,

[Bill MacGougan @wonka75]

@PierrePoilievre That this could attract votes is so embarrassing as a Canadian. Perhaps a lesson not to take ourselves too seriously.

[Bill MacGougan @wonka75]

@LesterTheFresh @NastyKnuckles You could be right but he’s not the biggest star, just the best player. Syd is probably the biggest star but not much they could do for him I guess.

[Bill MacGougan @wonka75]

@imzispoms I sincerely doubt that. He has a job to do and it appears he’s taking his leadership role seriously. At the end of the day it’s sports (i.e. fun & entertainment) but if you want the players to respect you, you have to be all-in.
No need to “hate” anyone.

[Bill MacGougan @wonka75]

@RivieraMd Stop making sense!

[Bill MacGougan @wonka75]

@echipiuk I can leave Canada anytime. I don’t get the premise of the question. Who can’t leave? Anyway, we’ve got our problems but who doesn’t? For all our problems, and despite what the certain folks might have you believe, we are free, prosperous, and healthy.

[Bill MacGougan @wonka75]

@ABDanielleSmith Also fact: Climate change has a much more significant impact on the cost of things.

[Bill MacGougan @wonka75]

@jdeanhaze @BestStephenD You, and the person you reversed, may be both right. The extremes create & reinforce the extremes (I think). Each is a response to the other. We all need to do our best not to attach personal characterizations to positions. And don’t attach ourselves too strongly to positions.
