Old guy but told I'm cool IRL. I've been a Liberal most of my life. However, recent political events have disturbed me so much, that I realized only conservatives have a reasonable plan politically. Gender and Identity politics are the fuel that convinced me that Liberals are becoming totalitarian.

Romanian police haul in election front-runner Călin Georgescu for questioning – POLITICO
  • Because the 'Deep State' didn't like the results, they are now intimidating the right leader of Romania. The people have spoken who they want, but the EU can't have that!

  • They’re Suing For The Right To Die

    Claire Brosseau first fantasized about dying when she was in kindergarten. She was a dramatic child, prone to throwing tantrums and screaming until she passed out. When her parents admonished her, asking why she wasn’t more like her sister, she imagined eating peanut butter, to which she was allergic, until she asphyxiated. It’d be better for everyone if I was gone, she thought.

    consortiumnews.com Ukraine Timeline Tells the Tale

    Without historical context, which is buried by corporate media, it's impossible to understand Ukraine. Historians will tell the story, but journalists are cut short for trying to tell it now.  By Joe Lauria Special to Consortium News The way to prevent the Ukraine war from b

    A cartoon version has the conflict begining on Feb. 24, 2022 when Vladimir Putin woke up that morning and decided to invade Ukraine.

    Ukraine’s Top Military Leadership: We Are Starting to Win, Russia Is Starting to Lose
  • Of course my stance is unpopular with the left, but the left is delusional about facts. Here is an impartial opinion by a renowned liberal journalist who is beyond refute. Learn some recent history, folks. The truth is the truth, whether it responds with your world view or political belief. https://consortiumnews.com/2025/02/23/yes-ukraine-started-the-war/

    There are no shortage of policies that tilt the playing field in favour of Canadians that could spark some uncomfortable conversations. "This is how it has always been" is unlikely to persuade Trump.

  • That's war, if you don' t like that, perhaps Ukraine shouldn't have been involved in trying to hurt a border nation and allowing NATO inside its borders. FAFO!

    Carney under pressure as Liberal leadership candidates prepare for French debate
  • Geesus stop attacking people because you don't agree with them. And yes, I'm Canadian and have actually spilt my blood in defence of our “Democracy”. What have you done? And our wonderful country that sent us off to fight is hardly taking care of its wounded soldiers. We give billions to countries like Ukraine, while yours truly who was wounded gets little support from fellow Canadians or the Liberal government.

  • Ukraine’s Top Military Leadership: We Are Starting to Win, Russia Is Starting to Lose
  • The news zine is supported by US government money; therefore they represent what the Biden Administration narrative was and is. Funny how they never mentioned that they themselves were recipients of USAid when they reported on USAid being cut off. A lot of delusional people out there, and we're not being fooled anymore by this propaganda. Also stop trying to through the messenger under the bus. There is no way in hell that Ukraine is winning, they're losing ground daily. Stop the B$ and delusions.

  • Ukraine’s Top Military Leadership: We Are Starting to Win, Russia Is Starting to Lose
  • It's still a biased source and promotes false narratives. Nothing I said is incorrect. You seem to be a very aggressive Ukrainian supporter and not aware of facts. They were hardly independent if dependent on USAid. 🤦🏽‍♂️

  • Ukraine’s Top Military Leadership: We Are Starting to Win, Russia Is Starting to Lose
  • From the Kyivpost supported 100% by USAid funds. This is 100% propaganda and untrue by the same %. This doesn't belong in any news group.

  • Carney under pressure as Liberal leadership candidates prepare for French debate
  • If Parliament is “we the people” and they vote to make decisions on every aspect of governance as your representative, how come them electing the Prime Minister is so offensive to you?

    You're not paying attention. Where did I say that parliament electing the PM is offensive to me? What I am saying that the PM being appointed by non-elected members of the LPC is offensive to me. It's not parliament doing it, but the Liberal Party of Canada members voting for their next leader of the party, which is then automatically the PM. Helluva difference.

  • Parliament is elected, so of course they represent 'we the people'.

  • That's often NOT the case. Executives are looking at their share price each quarter. It's rarely about the 'health' of the corporation.

  • Carney under pressure as Liberal leadership candidates prepare for French debate
  • I sincerely believe that a country's leader should always be elected and not appointed, regardless of the outcome of an election. The LPC isn't 'we the people'. 🤷‍♂️

  • I am annoyed by the LPC's prorogue of parliament (Trudeau). If Carney wins, we'll have an unelected PM of Canada, which seems to be the most likely outcome.

  • No, I tried everyway with complete paths, I used that as one example. The software is a POS.
