      2. Me thinks that gym has finally gone over the edge.
        What in tarnation was that? If it was supposed to be a joke, I completely missed the punch line!
        –the REAL fc.

        1. He’s talking about John Tory, who notoriously enjoyed sexual relations with a staffer. And is not a partisan Liberal, however liberal in practice. I believe I recently mentioned the hortatory saying popular in Ontario: “You can lead a hortatory, and he really appreciates it!”

          1. ok… thanks for the explanation.
            First of all, John Tory hasn’t been in the public spot-light in years.
            Secondly, the word “tory” (especially when it isn’t capitalized) is a heteronym, which adds to the confusion.
            gym’s lack of clarity in the way he communicates takes away from what he’s trying to say, and the message itself loses impact.

            …and why don’t I merit a nickname like everyone else around here that gym denigrates with insults? I’m feeling a little jilted.

            –the REAL fc.

          2. In fairness to gym, heteronyms are about as close to “hetero” as he can get. But he is letting us down a bit with the denigrating insults. If it comes to that, I suppose I could start calling you “buggernuts”, but let’s see if gym rises to the challenge first.

          4. In fact, I am you. And you are me, and you are he, and we are all together. Or so I am reliably informed.

      1. Probably works for Hamas’ political wing.
        Every Terrorist Org. has their minions spreading shit.
        That being said, most people with brains still don’t want c*nting Liberals passing their Orwellian On-line Harms Bill.
        Ironically, Hi Ho’s crap would probably slide through our Far Left censors.

      3. Are you trying to be offensive by assuming they are a “he”? I suspect they are “genderqueer” but we have no way to know what they are.

        1. I like it, but none of this makes sense anymore since the post it is about seems to have been deleted.

          With Mark Carney still our Prime Sinister, that is a very risky pronoun list that could hurt your Liberal Social Credit Score™.

          You don’t seem to have done your due diligence to check with the CBC, to see how many genders the government officially recognizes today and all the pronouns that go with it today which could lead to you being federally charged with a hatecrime of being transphobic.

          I try to avoid this by referring to people of unknown whatever as being either: you or it.

          I hope that to give people more scientific descriptions/labels, that Pierre Pollivere officially declares that people can only claim to be 1 of 3 sexes: male, female, or insane.

  9. “People probably don’t realize the stakes at play here and how thankful they should be for China’s unyielding position since “liberation day”. The future of the global order literally rests on it.

    Basically they keep repeating almost word-for-word the same thing for 3 weeks:

    “Tariff and trade wars have no winners… China doesn’t look for a war but neither are we afraid of it… If the U.S. wants to talk, it should stop threatening and blackmailing [us] and seek dialogue based on equality, respect and mutual benefit. To keep asking for a deal while exerting extreme pressure is not the right way to deal with China and simply will not work.”

    Translation: remove the tariffs, approach us as equals, or there will be no deal. Period.

    There’s a good case to be made that it is this very consistency in China’s stance that’s:
    a) emboldening other nations to resist American pressure—not a single country has capitulated to US demands since China took its stand
    b) forcing the Trump administration to negotiate against itself, exposing the fundamental weakness of bullying as diplomatic strategy

    This moment echoes pivotal historical turning points where great power behavior set precedents for decades—like Suez in 1956 or the Cuban Missile Crisis—only with potentially more far-reaching consequences.

    Like those watershed events, China’s resistance now sets a precedent that will probably shape international relations for years to come.

    If China were to yield, make no mistake about what would follow:

    The geopolitical landscape would transform overnight—smaller nations and probably even regional blocs like the EU would read the writing on the wall and fall in line, knowing resistance would be futile against a vindicated America if even China had to yield.

    We’d witness American hubris on steroids, with Trump and future administrations validated in their belief that unilateral bullying is effective foreign policy: it would become their blueprint in an even worse way than it already is.

    Most disturbing would be the effective end of multipolarity—for what is a ‘pole’ if it can simply be intimidated into compliance? In fact, it would undermine the very concept of sovereignty itself.

    While China certainly pursues its own interests, its steadfast position makes it objectively the main bulwark against a pure “might makes right” world.

    And as such what’s at play here goes far whether China or America “wins” this particular standoff, but whether concepts like sovereignty and multilateralism, can survive.

    Paradoxically we’re in a place where if there’s such thing as a “rules-based international order”, China is the last meaningful defender of its core tenets, and the primary check against a dystopian slide toward predatory unilateralism, where sovereignty would become merely ceremonial—a polite fiction maintained at the pleasure of Washington.

    Future historians may mark this moment as when the international system either reaffirmed its commitment to sovereign equality or surrendered to the law of the jungle—with China, somewhat unexpectedly, standing as civilization’s last line of defense.”

    1. jeppo
      The BULL is mighty strong in yer post!
      First, several countries have now folded.
      Second, China’s economy is still fragile due to past real estate collapse.
      SO, if China does not “bargain” with USA, the CCP may no longer exist at some point in the future

          1. I would ask both joe and jeppo:
            Which would you rather live under… America’s dominance, or China’s totalitarianism (aka “dictatorship”)?

    1. Buddy’s Election Polling

      (I admit I don’t know who fits the MSN (MicroSoft Network) profile – they’re one of my ISP’s and I read news and whatever from it daily.)
      For weeks now based on Comments from election articles from CBC, CP, NP, etc., the vast majority are voting for the Cons. And I’d ad that there is little difference between the sources.

      And its not even close.
      9:1 or 10:1 are the minimum ratios for PP versus the Crypt Keeper.
      I’d even say its higher as the pro Carney commenters write such ludicrous shyte I figure they’re just retards like Hi Ho.

    2. It’s not just Katie, but her husband Rob Silver.

      While she was likely dictating real estate policy to Justine, her husband was likely benefiting being at the time part of a mortgage or Real Estate company. Now he is involves with a “Public Affairs Agency”.

      Of course the benefits of keeping the surname of your birth, is it is less likely for people to catch conflicts of interest.

  11. Dear FC,

    To answer your question: with Trump as president, I would rather live under American domination. With any Democrat as president, I would rather live under Chinese domination, for the simple reason that the Dems hate white people, Christians, conservatives, nationalists, free enterprise and free speech far more than the Chinese do.

    1. You and me both, except that even with a dem in the white house, I’d still rather live in a country where I still would have an opportunity to collectively vote the scum out every 4 years, unlike in a dictatorship where you’re pretty much stuck with the corruption ad-infinitum.

      That point is lost on the “elbows up” crowd.

      –the REAL fc.

  12. I’ll be glad when this election is over. Canada can stop pissing itself over every Trump utterance and get on with an attempt at growing up and fixing the myriad of problems that exist here.

    The county is in serious trouble, perhaps unsolvable. If the libranos form government little will change. Canada will continue to devolve both here and on the world stage.

  14. More ‘unbiased’ CBC reporting:

    Family of 4 jailed in U.S. for weeks after Canadian border guards turned them away
    Lawyer says CBSA focused on small discrepancies to reject family that qualified for entry under exception

    https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/us-family-cbsa-1.7516978

    The typical cryptic headline used when they are trying hard to hide the truth. You have to get roughly one-third of the way through the story to find the punchline:

    “Aracely and her common-law husband both lived undocumented for several years in the U.S. They decided to join family in Canada to escape the threat posed by the Trump administration’s hardline immigration policies.”

    So, ILLEGALS attempted to gain entry to Canada, were turned away then promptly arrested as ILLEGALS when they tried to go back to the USA. Where exactly is the problem with that, CBC?

  15. First comment on this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twCuDGAeu7g

    These folks have been methodically infesting the region since long before fake Israel existed or the holocaust story appeared.

    “Prime ministers of Israel birth places
    Golda Meir, Ukraine
    David Ben-Gurion, Poland
    Shimon Peres, Belarus
    Menachem Begin, Belarus
    Yitzhak Shamir, Belarus
    Levi Eshkol, Ukraine
    Moshe Sharett Ukraine
    The first president of Israel Chaim Weizmann was born in Belorussia.

    The current defence minister Yoav Gallants family originate from Poland.

    The current prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s family originated from Poland. Benjamin Netanyahu’s father who’s from Poland changed his name from Benzion Mileikowsky to Benzion Netanyahu when he came to Palestine. They did this to sound more like Middle Eastern”

    This lady is correct.

      1. I’ll be dancing in the streets the day Mossad sends you to meet your 72 virgins, you Hamas-loving creep.

    1. So… what would you propose should happen to the state of Israel?
      My comment on your video is this: I will not waste time watching an hour-long video which, knowing you, is filled with hateful, antisemitic propaganda. (My rule is that, except for extraordinarily relevant subject matter… (like planes flying into skyscrapers)… I generally will not watch any vid, regardless of content, that’s longer than 30 minutes.
      Of course the first prime-minister of Israel would not be a native Israeli. The country didn’t exist when the PM was born. Since Israel is a country of Jewish immigrants, it’s not surprising that the heritage of many of it’s leaders weren’t born in the state, and what is wrong with having origins in Poland, or Ukraine for example? Both of those countries have a history of persecuting jews prior to WWII.
      Finally, the moment you suggest that Israel doesn’t have a right to exist, I lose interest in anything else you would have to say.

      –the REAL fc.

      1. I told someone I have known a long time who is vehemently anti-Israeli, that for him to convince me to change my opinions he had better first learn about the real history of Israel and the Arabs who now call themselves Palestinian, from confirmed reputable historical records of that time. I just laugh to myself when someone comes up with some questionable assertion and then tells you that you have to do all the work to look it up to disprove something they have haven’t even tried to do any research on.

        As I told him, his and my opinions in Canada are irrelevant to those living in the Middle East. If we each were given an option do donate a million dollars from a third-party to one or the other side, it would make zero difference to the outcome a third of a world away. But then that is the point, it isn’t about changing what is happening thousands of miles away, it is about changing Canadian society.

    “What is happening in Gaza is Genocide summed up perfectly in 2 minutes while a stunned Piers Morgan sits in silence.”

    https://x.com/BladeoftheS/status/1915179494391898419

    Continued denial of genocide is denial of reality and self-destructive. A person in this state is actively harming themselves.

    All killing of all innocents must stop immediately. Everyone knows this.

  22. “Israel is denying Palestinians in the Gaza Strip access to “necessities for human survival,” while continuing to cause “mass casualties” in the blockaded Palestinian territory, the UN warns.

    It has been over 52 days since the Israeli regime blocked the entry of food, medicine, and other critical supplies into the war-torn Gaza Strip, even as aid agencies have time and again warned of a full-blown famine across Gaza.”

    https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2025/04/24/746743/Palestine-Gaza-Israel-UN-humanitarian-aid-OCHA

    There are only two labels that matter: Pro-Human and Anti-Human.

    Agreement with any part of what Izrael’s government is doing makes a person undeniably Anti-Human.

    2. “There are only two labels that matter: Pro-Human and Anti-Human.”
      Good thing the Hamassholes ain’t human.
