No fan of Kenney, but I really wonder what his approach here would have been in comparison to Smith. Would it have been similar or the same as Smith currently, or more similar to Doug Ford’s approach?

I’ll bite.

Personally as someone who is fairly left-wing, I feel like that religious tolerance is acceptable since around the world we see what religious intolerance tends to lead to. With Islam, it just so happens that a lot of countries that are in crisis currently are countries where there are significant Muslim populations, and that fact can be owed heavily to U.S. interventionism among other things of course.

I grew up in an area where we had a heavy Muslim population. I’m non-religious myself, my direct family is non-religious as well, but I did also have a spot in my teen years where I was very much Christian. While I do have my thoughts on religion and it’s place (or rather, lack of place in my personal opinion) in the world, I think forcing people to comply with being secular is just as bad as forcing secular people to be religious.

The path forward I believe is engagement between religions, as well as between the religious and non-religious. Even though I consider myself agnostic, I did go to an Iftar dinner at a synagogue the other day as a special interfaith dialogue event, and it went great. Allowing ourselves to learn about others also allows others to learn about us, to which people can be swayed towards secularism if we respectively bring up why we believe what we do and what we perceive as flaws in religions that we learn about.

Do we have any Conservative folks here? Not Conservative myself, but if there’s like a petition or something I’m more than willing to cross lines in supporting this call since this is just vile.

And the 70% who don’t are doing… what exactly?

RIP, it didn’t keep the GIF animated. https://files.catbox.moe/zyd6n8.gif

“This isn’t the campaign I expected to run. But when Ottawa insiders shut me out of the Conservative nomination, I knew I couldn’t stay silent. I’m running to give this community back its voice,”

Bro calls out insiders after wanting to become an insider, more at 11.

I’d have a lot more respect if he ran as an independent from the get-go regardless of his politics, but nope. Surprise! The party that wants to backstab it’s constituents wants to backstab people who fall slightly out of line.

I don’t know man, must be really easy to not have to worry about your fucking country getting annexed, but that’s the problem I gotta put in the effort of combating because y’all hardly seem to do anything but complain about things when they’re bad rather than actually DO something about it.

OH woe is you, typical Americans, thinking that someone whose country is under threat by the one they live in is so much easier than already living in said country. Makes me wonder how many Germans in WWII looked at Poland being invaded whilst talking about how easy it was for Poles to judge them from outside borders.

Good. What this should do is also invigorate our economy and have us explore alternatives that we can produce here. Even before this nonsense I was worried about our heavy dependence on the U.S., but here we are now with it punching us in the gut.

Federal government should really give funding boosts to greenhouse farms right about now so that we can grow more stuff here out of season and not import from say, California all the time.

They never seem to be there. All Americans ever seem to be is talk.

All these dumb excuses for constant inaction to the point where other fucking countries have to clean up their mess. I’m frustrated to the point that I want to see a policy implemented saying that if you didn’t vote in the last election (assuming you were eligible to do so), you don’t get entrance since you’d be more of a burden as someone who can’t perform their civic duty

owww noooo da amewicans gonna get twiggered becuz day saw da mean hatty-watty.

God, if this was about keeping a good face with the MLB and American viewers, then the team leadership has no fucking spine.

Man, living in Alberta is such a pain.

Never been on a vacation abroad, but this has really been making me think about how I should probably make a trip to St. John’s for a vacation.

Also like, when was the last time he had anybody truly left-wing on? Been a few years since he’s had Kyle Kulinski on, but Alex Jones? Book that guy a slot for next Friday.

Why do we continue to pretend that India is an ally? Nothing against the people that come here from there of course, but we sure as hell have a weirdly comfortable relationship with a country that has no issues in assassinating people on our soil.

Joe Rogan Experience in a nutshell:

Guest: batshit insane shit

Rogan: uh huh, oh wow, that’s crazy, never thought of it like that

Rogan: also like, here’s my thoughts bro (insert popular opinion here)

Guest: continues batshit insane shit that contradicts that expressed opinion

Rogan: I totally agree.

The country of freedom sure does a lot to prevent the free expression of others.

Why is it that the only freedom they ever seem to focus on is the freedom to isolate and not the freedom to participate?

It’s not federated by any means, but if you want to replace FANDOM wikis with other equivalents, Indie Wiki Buddy is a great extension to have on hand.

https://getindie.wiki/

There’s options to remove FANDOM from search results in favour of other options, and they also allow you to redirect to the Breezewiki frontend for FANDOM to get rid of all those shitty ads and UI, which is legal considering the contents of FANDOM pages are still under the Commons.

“People are free to make their own comments, I speak for myself”

Yeah, kinda speaking for yourself a lot in not denouncing those comments.

Populist.

35%.

Choose one lol, what a joke.

They’re still an American citizen. Nowhere in the article is it mentioned if they voted in the U.S. election.

If they didn’t vote, then I’m sorry to say, they’re a coward. Moving up here and then refusing to do your civic duty as an American citizen to keep this guy out of office to the best of your ability as someone abroad would make me furious if they’re sticking around here, so I’m really hoping that that isn’t the case.
