  3. A question looking for your opinions: Pre-baby boomers, people kept their emotions in check, which had their accompanying issues. Post-baby boomers, people wallow in their emotions, which has their accompanying issues. Which is/was better for society?

  5. I’m a baby boomer, 1948 to be exact. Did we keep our emotions in check?? Probably so, up until about 1970 when the psychoanalysts began to interfere. Do post baby boomers era wallow in their emotions?? Some do for sure!!
    As for society, I don’t want to sound pessimistic, but I do believe that if we don’t change things very quickly, a storm is brewing over the horizon. Just look at our own society in North America. The family unit has fallen apart, save a few who keep it alive, miraculously. Outsourcing has turned once prosperous cities into ghettos. From a baby boomer perspective, we’re in serious trouble. From their (post baby boomer) perspective, I guess they’re OK with the way things are going for now, otherwise they’d change things.
    How do we change things. We start with a good example–and that’s us!!

  9. “In a rare victory for conservatives, the Supreme Court has sided against the Obama Administration and their leftist climate agenda.
    Tuesday, in a 5-4 decision, the Court moved to halt Obama and the EPA’s carbon emissions rule that is a major part of their anti-global warming initiative.
    The Washington Times reports:
    The 5-4 decision by the court puts the Environmental Protection Agency’s regulation on hold while a lower appeals court hears states’ challenge to the rules. Twenty-nine states had sued to stop the rules, which were intended to control greenhouse gas emissions from existing power plants.

  12. Well, there goes our chance to have a millionaire business man to head the Conservatives….O’Leary says he’s for Canada being Peace Makers… Justin can have him.

  13. Don’t laugh at kids who believe in Santa, Easter Bunny, or the Tooth Fairy. We have 100’s of thousands who believe in Turdope II.

  17. Good article in the Financial Post today re the folly of Liberals blocking pipeline development and by doing so undermining Canadian interests. I cannot see how Liberals can defend this — it makes no sense at all. What it does is confirm the Liberals pursuit of globalist — rather than Canadian — interests. Expect more of this kind of betrayal.

  21. Canada has a long history of peacekeeping dating back to the War of 1812, WWI and WWII,etc!!
    I am not sure how we got that moniker,probably from Turdeau’s Pops.
    There is no peace to keep when the enemy keeps fighting and advancing.

  22. Kevin O’Leary is not an arch-conservative, rabid free marketer, he just plays one on TV.

  23. Peace Makers are not Peacekeepers. Peace is MADE by defeating the enemy.
    At least that’s my take on Matt 5:9
    Matthew 5:9 (KJV)
    9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

  25. The same group of naive LIVs, that believed in Barky O’blamo’s Hopey Changey BS, are still waiting for their miracle to happen, 8 years later.
    The yutes and idiots sure buy the BS easily. And they earn the “fruits” of their belief system.
    Expecting miracles from a BS artist never works out well, but the left keeps expecting a different result.

  28. This guy is such a childish idiot and puts his ignorance on display whenever he speaks, which is far too often.
    Trudeau should remember that, if not for the constant negativity of the media towards all things Conservative, he would probably still be sitting on the opposition side of the house. He should also realize that, when fighting an election or byelection, criticizing your opponent is a major component of the battle plan providing that the criticism is fair and well-deserved. In the case of the current Ontario government, it is impossible not to be critical.

  30. Watching OBAMA on what I call an apology tour to Springfield IL…I hope he is about to have a chat with the Witch…. Why seek to be forgiven unless Hillary is to be cuffed….

  31. Agreed, really dumb thing for O’Leary to say, it shows he doesn’t understand military policy.

  33. $90b is a low estimate imo. Morneau is already on the wrong track, complaining about a $3b inherited deficit when in fact the government ran a $1b surplus in 2015. We can count on more irregularities from him.
    “When he spoke in the House on Thursday, he would have known the results up to October which showed a $600-million surplus so far in the fiscal year.
    Now, it’s true that Morneau, in his fall fiscal update, predicted that by the time we get to year-end on March 31 we will have a $3-billion deficit for the fiscal year. But that’s because Morneau took the consensus forecast for our economy and arbitrarily downgraded it. Neither Joe Oliver, Jim Flaherty or, before them, Ralph Goodale ever did that. They went with the consensus forecast. But Morneau apparently knows better.
    We’ve only got four months left in the fiscal year. How does Morneau figure we go from $1 billion up to $3 billion down, a swing of $4 billion? Most economists say we don’t and that Ottawa will likely be darn close to balancing the books.”

    Oh right, we’re sore losers. Just paying forward the Harper slime fest.

  34. Rex, yes your first impulse was right, let Calgarians describe for themselves their frustration with their Laurentian overlords, but given you work for the CBC which believes all political thought stops at Thunder Bay, and given at one time Fort McMurray was the biggest city in Newfoundland, not a bad try.
    “Rex Murphy on Calgary: ‘Where are the city’s allies?’ ‘Were I a Calgarian, I’d be first perplexed, and then perhaps angry,’ says Newfoundlander.”
    The attitude of the greens and their allied provocateurs, Dalton McGuinty to name but one premier from that time, all the dim-minded celebrities that took their jaunts to the oilsands to mewl over its planet-destroying potential – the Suzukis and Neil Youngs – has always been fervidly anti-Alberta, reckless with the province’s reputation, and deeply disrespectful of its workforce. Neil Young compared working in the oilpatch with “Hiroshima.”
    I would be asking of them: Why Us? Why, only us? Are there no other pipelines in the world? Are there no other oil economies? Are there not huge projects elsewhere to claim their self-aggrandizing attentions, projects of far more scale and far less regulated that the one in their own country – that supplied such relief to Canadians in terms or jobs, and to the national economy in that invisible pipeline that brought the equalization dollars from Calgary and Edmonton to Ottawa, Montreal and beyond?”
    A reader answers beautifully:
    “Because its pretty much risk free for the people doing the demonizing (ex Suzuki, Young ect..) to say what ever they want in this country without consequence. Look what happened to Suzuki in Australia, they called his bluff. If the Suzuki’s of the world were to travel to OPEC countries and criticize and demonize oil and the workforce over there..They might just lose their heads. We need to start standing up to these people (the silent majority working class) and start calling the bluff. However a good market shock although it might be painful might just wake some of these people up to the fact where the bread and butter comes from.”
    I understand the Russians weren’t amused either.

  35. Yes, indeed, O’Leary is a one trick pony. I’m surprised so many people appear to have confusedly assessed him as a conservative when he is simply an entrepreneur with little or no political acumen.

  36. AGW RIP.

    “Albert Einstein Leaves Germany 1933”
    “As soon as Adolf Hitler was granted German citizenship and began to take power and spread his Nazi anti-Semitic ideas, the German-Jewish physicist Albert Einstein took a stand against Nazism and quickly took action to leave Germany. Einstein helped to organize a non-partisan group that stood united against fascism. Einstein, his family, and his secretary left Germany, and in March 1933, he renounced his German citizenship, declared his resignation from the Prussian Academy of Sciences, quickly separated himself from all German institutions that he had worked with, and announced that he would not return to Germany. Einstein stood against the Nazi regime and declared as he and his family moved to the United States of America in 1933: “I shall live in a land where political freedom, tolerance, and equality of all citizens reign.””

  40. Prime Minister Oddball
    From Kelly’s Heroes
    Oddball: Why don’t you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don’t you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don’t you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
    Moriarty: Crap!
    In 1970 this was comedy. Today it’s reality.

  41. “O’Leary says he’s for Canada being Peace Makers”
    OK. Edify me. What the hell is a Peace Maker? Is it equivalent to the worn-out, meaningless term “peacekeeper”? To my way of thinking, a peace maker is someone who beats the crap out of the enemy and thereby achieves peace. If it, in fact, means peacekeeper then O’Leary is an idiot and probably more comfortable in the Liberal fold.
    How can one keep the peace if there is no peace to be kept? Would the likes of Trudeau and O’Leary have sent Canadian troops to Guadalcanal in 1942 to keep the peace? How about smack in the middle of Iwo Jima in 1945 to make sure the Americans and Japanese behaved themselves? Were the Canadian troops in Korea there as peace makers or peacekeepers?
    It’s all so confusing unless you think like a Liberal.

  44. You know, they have nerve. We have had to put up with ten years of relentless negativity from the left. Absolutely relentless. Now they think they can preach to others. Sadly, some very foolish Canadians are taken in by this hypocrisy.

  45. Actually it was longer than that . It started before it was the Conservative party . There most recent vendetta is Mike Duffy. They are worried he may be back in the Senate. They are oblivious to the fact the reason Steven Harper did not engage them was they did everything in their power to cast him in the worst possible light. The Fear of them caused them to pay back expenses that very well be within the convaloluted incomprehensible expense criteria of senate spending . So , should he be acquitte he will likely again be sitting in the Senate. How is it possible as the media has convicted him. I guess that’s the old/ new Canada! These people would not recognize nor understand hypocrisy if it was a baseball bat hitting them on the head a hundred times ! I am not a big Duffy fan , but if he is acquitted that should be the end of it.
