  1. I wish every hole I had could be filled with wads of corporate cash

  2. HIim calling himself "tha God" affects you how and why?

  3. Try the NHL. Unmatched speed, the power and violence of football, the passing and continuous action of basketball and the, the....well I can't think of anything appealing about baseball ha ha.

  4. You have to admit he's just following the incentives, so why wouldn't he? It keeps him rich and famous.

  5. How disrespectful that is to actual slaves (which still exist in 2023). Purposely dedicating your whole life to trying to get into the NFL and make millions of dollars is literally the opposite of slavery. The actual dictionary definition opposite of slavery because slavery is involuntary. I bet he really felt like a slave when he got his first massive payday.

  6. That was my low point. I'm officially out. I don't care about Canada anymore after that. 3rd strike and I'm out. I never ever thought I would say this but I couldn't care less if Canada breaks up as a country. If it does I'm staying in the west. You should look up the voting demographics. The percentage of his vote that came from the greater Toronto area is incredible. Way way way way way higher than Toronto's per capita percentage of the population.

  7. It's insane how many people have stories like yours but for some reason those immigrants don't matter to the left. Your voice doesn't matter because you say things they don't like. Even worse if you say them from personal lived experience. They abhor that the most.

  8. Until very recently us Canadians were laughing how bombastic and crazy American politics was. Now our leader is just as bad as anything you guys have and we are getting polarized. Hey I'm calling the truckers a bunch of Nazis and bigots was absolutely as bad or worse than anything Donald Trump ever said. I'd say worse, actually. Much worse. He's not a good Canadian at all, and we voted for him 3 times, so we aren't good Canadians, at all.

  9. "legally protest"? I hate him with the fire of 10000 suns. He revoked the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to MAKE it illegal. I can't believe Canadians voted for this garbage stain 3 times. I no longer care about my country. If it breaks up, so be it. I have a hard time respecting anybody who voted for this guy. How he can talk about free speech and misinformation, then mention the truckers is breathtaking. He literally pays off the media to be nice to him. He's as close to a dictator as you can get in a democracy. He controls the media which is how most people get their news. He's got his foot on the scale, that's for sure. I wish Canada had term limits. And now he's in bed with Jagmeet Singh and the NDP and they are the only two Canadian politicians who I wouldn't care if they got hit by a truck. I normally would feel sadness if anybody had that happen no matter how much I hated them, but not those two. I feel they are truly evil, evil people and I do not say that lightly. I'm very tolerant with almost all views. I like a lot of people who are very different from me politically, but those two are absolute scumbags. If you listen to him and like what he says, you can go to hell. He's the first person I can think of who I'd lose friends over, just for their opinion. I hope he gets his way, then another party gets in power and silences him and demonizes him into the ground. Now let me be clear: I don't actually want anyone to do any of that stuff, but if it happened to him I would find it beautiful and poetic.

  10. Try finding rational, dispassionate, objective people for both sides of that debate. This guy is as locked into his own ideology as the other side is. I've tried looking into climate change stuff and I can't come to any solid conclusions because both sides come at it with such bias and furor. Ask a climate scientist "How much? What's our percentage of causal? How much of a temperature rise over how long?" and you'll just get yelled at, even though scientists vary wildly in their estimates. If there's that little consensus in what the actual effects will be, don't fucking yell at me when I ask questions.

  11. What's funny is how many commenters are pissed off about that because he didn't turn this into an inquisition.

  12. phjiggs- YES. That's exactly what he's saying. You should never 100% blindly follow anything. Always keep that 0.25% chance they could be wrong in the back of your head. Throughout the ages there have been countless "facts" that have turned out to be dead wrong, and in each of those ages they thought "Our methods are perfect so doubting is heresy". You think in the 21st century we've magically gotten to a place where every single thing we know is "fact" and we will never ever prove any of them wrong? C'mon.

  13. I get what you are saying and I don't think you're 'wrong', but I still disagree. If he pressed people more, he would be creating an entirely different environment. One where people have their feet held to the fire is so different from just giving people a platform and they can have as much rope as they want. The odd time it'll bug me Rubin lets something slide, but then I remind myself that his respectful approach allows more disparate types to want to come on the show because they know they'll be allowed to be themselves, to either lift themselves up or dig themselves a hole. The more I watch the show the more I think his style in the long run leads to the best guests who get to be themselves and let the chips fall where they may. I like he very hands off approach.

  14. "I do wonder though, what value is there to be gleaned from talking to people like this? " -I always want to hear contrarian views to absolutely everything. To deny them is borne of ideology, especially from such a complex topic as climate change. It's not some thing like "Here are 5 bales of hay and if I add 1 bale I'll have 6 bales, and if I add water they'll get wet". It's much more complicated and nuanced than that so yeah, there's a lot of great reasons to have contrarians on. This guy unfortunately didn't really address much and kinda went all ad hominem which sucks because I really want to hear all sides of a debate, and this was almost no sides of the debate because facts were barely discussed.

  15. Desmond - Maybe you need to read his comment again. He's just saying that you can't just go "The other side is wrong and they are stupid and Anti-Human and I am right because I'm right". You have to back your arguments up. Your last sentence is EXACTLY Phil's point.

  16. C'mon man, there's so much evidence that politics plays a major part in science. Just look at all the evidence lately about how so much of published science is not repeatable and in fact, dead wrong. Every scientist will tell you about "what it takes" to get published and by no stretch is it all strictly about "facts". Wins are considered far, far, far more valuable than losses so people will go to great lengths to make sure their study is a "win" so that they'll get published. It's as if people thing scientists are not human and prone to the same human idiocy as everyone else. And what is a "fact"? We have new discoveries that trump old facts all the time. Stop worshipping at the alter of science because that makes you as much of a ideologue as a Bishop.

  17. "Climate scientists are guilty of alarmism" - Thank you! That's why I've never, ever seen a rational, intelligent debate about climate change, and I've looked. A lot. One side says you're an idiot sheep if you believe any of it, and the other side tells you that you're an evil "denier" if you question any of it. That leaves the truly objective in the dark. You never hear both sides. Okay, water levels rise: Is that really "bad" on a planet that is 70% water? The water gets more acidic: do any species benefit from that or do 100% of them suffer? Same question about melting arctic ice. You seldom hear a damn thing about species that are thriving due to it. I honestly kinda think that Mother Nature doesn't give a fuck either way because she abhors a vacuum so she'll fill any voids, and that it's humans who will suffer the most. That makes the whole "We're destroying the planet" argument seem to phoney that I have a hard time getting on board.

  18. Are you kidding? He has been pounding the table to get these men funding for decades. He is on your side. What the hell is wrong with this comment section? Everyone's acting like he's some random guy who yells at a politician. He's frustrated because he has been on your side for decades. Your reaction is exactly like the BLM protesters who got angry at Bernie Sanders of all people. Everyone is so tribal now it disgusts me. All you guys do is see a liberal. How about seeing somebody who's actually trying to make your case for you?

  19. Why should he have to apologize to somebody because they are a veteran? Are you claiming veterans can't be idiots? They are infallible? One has nothing to do with the other.

  20. When somebody really gets inside my head, like a boss or a teacher that really does have power over me, I tell myself "My happiness is mine. You can't have it." It helps me a little bit in the evenings to not spend all the time I'm not around them dwelling on them.

  21. If by vacuum you mean and empty space, I agree. If you mean he sucks it in, you're way off because he has nothing of the sort inside him, haha.

  22.  @donnast.joseph5158  I was not being facetious at all. Same god, full stop. You guys just argue about which funny hat should be worn

  23. That's been the mantra in Canada, my whole life. It never made sense to me, even as a small child. How could you spend your time talking about everybody's differences and have it resolved and everybody getting along as equals? The old American melting pot idea made so much more sense.

  26. The stones on the PM, talking about not being able to get to work, not having their lives return to normal.

  27. It’s students this, it’s students that. It’s students who are useful idiots for adults who have agendas. These kids don’t have a clue about anything.

  28. I'm sorry, Dave but I always down vote Clickbait. There was no room of stunned silence. The only other alternative would've been for the people on that committee to a interrupted the kid. That's a very different thing. Stay away from clickbait titles please.

  29. The answer to somebody who comes around to your way of thinking a little bit he’s never ever ever to mock them or ridicule them until they’re 100% on your side. How is this even up for debate Dave? You can’t complain about the polarization of society when you make statements like this that actively contribute to it. It’s extremely hypocritical of you because you get really mad when the left does their thing where “you are either 100% with me in every way or you are against me”.

  30. Because they're sexist and racist?! I cannot express the lack of respect I have for all of these clown show corporate parrots. It's so gross. She is incredibly unlikable. The end. She was getting destroyed in the primaries when she wanted to be the president. There's a reason she didn't make it very far. People don't think she'd be a good leader. She was destroyed by a mixed race female, BTW, a woman who tons of Republicans who were uneasy about Trump said they would vote for. You know, those sexist racists. And according to Jimmy, if Mike Pence has a low approval rating it's because he sucks, or Dick Cheney, but is soon as a Democrat female has a low approval rating or loses an election, it's sexism. Jimmy Kimmel is a gross human being.

  31. Now they're overcompensating. This is 2hrs after the release of this video and both Canada and USA Google, when you say "president' automatically start with Trump even though he's not even the damn POTUS. Biden wasn't even coming up until you put the space after president, and even then he's 8th listing. The current freakin POTUS. These clowns can't do anything right.

  32. You say "and leads you to becoming sort of bananas". She will take this as proof you are racist, ha ha. These people are truly pathetic.

  33. 25:24. I really like Melissa but "debt trap diplomacy" should not be an example of how bad China is, right before saying China doesn't have the same values at America. Bad example since America invented dept trap diplomacy.

  34. I'm a safety officer in the construction industry. I 100% with Mike here that the more safety protocols get put in place, the less people are careful. That's why I get so mad when people built ghetto wooden railings in construction. If you have a railing that might not be strong enough to hold you if you fall against it, I'd rather there be no railing at all because then you're more likely to be careful. The more you take responsibility away from the individual, the less likely they are to care in the least about their surroundings.

  35. Even if it’s not a delusion, the point still stands. If Thomas really was born “in the wrong body“, it was still a males body. End of story. Athletics is the very last place there’s supposed to be equality, and fairness. We do our best with gender categories and age categories, and weight or whatever, but you still have to roll with the biology you got. I’m short, and the NBA doesn’t give a damn. They won’t lower the nets for me.

  36. To be fair, so does Dave Rubin.

  37. I feel bad for the guy. He’s not well. That’s not the behaviour of somebody who thinks differently from me. That’s the behaviour of someone who needs help.

  38.  @melikey3758  She knows it's a metaphor, obviously. She was trying to be clever and use it to show that the metaphor was bad because you can't actually pull yourself up or whatever. I think it was just an equivalent to a comedian who tells a joke that bombs. I hate that woman with the fire of 1000 suns, but I don't think she's nearly that stupid.

  39. 38:00 Are you kidding me? "Think outside the box"? That's comedy gold!

  40. 45:20 To be fair, Hillary did win the popular vote so you can't say it was a proven failed experiment.

  41. What's crazier to me is that this was happening 40+ years ago. People talk about how Walter Kronkite was the most trusted man in America. Well that was during these days. So in essence, things are as they've always been and the media has never been trustorworthy. This would've been interesting to know before the Munk debate with Matt Taibbi/Dougls Murray vs Malcom Gladwell and that irrelevant lady.

  43. Considering the fact that he is using other investors money as well, and the fact that even if he footed the entire bill on his own and it went completely bust he would still have many billions of dollars, it's a sacrifice in the same way it's a sacrifice for me to take my friend out for dinner instead of eating at home by myself for next to nothing.

  44. Yup. Rebel is absolutely partisan media, but they all are. His face when she said Rebel was ridiculous. I hate him so much.

  45. Apparently the timelines don't add up when it comes to his mom even being around Castro 9 months before Justin was born, but fuck me that resemblance is absolutely uncanny and I have no way of verifying where she was so who knows? It's the conspiracy theory I'm least likely to reject outright.

  46.  @sharond1658  The NDP would for a coalition with the devil himself if they could. They get rock hard whenever they have a chance to win actual power. Jagmeet Singh is just as bad if not worse that Trudeau. Jack Layton is rolling around in his grave. The only 2 politicians I've ever absolutely hated to my core, and they partner up. To hell with both of them and to anyone who voted for them.

  47. Biden is just a typical bonehead politician (dementia aside). I don't think Biden is a bad person. Trudeau on the other hand is a wretched person to his absolute core.

  48. Supporting him in absolutely inexcusable. I hate politicians in general, but he is the very first one that if you support him I instantly lose respect for you and if you look in depth into what he's like and still support him, like even with this question alone, then I'm done with you and that's not something I ever thought I'd say. I never thought I'd say that I'd lose friends over their opinion of a politician but this is so extreme that it's warranted. I don't want anybody in my life that thinks this is okay. That thinks it's justified to have the PM literally refuse to answer questions to a legit media organization. Even Trump, who hated the media, would answer questions from them all (unless that's wrong and if it is then Trump was a coward too).

  49. Accountable? He was elected 3 times. The Canadian people have unfortunately spoken. I know that in actuality, only 1 in 5 Canadians cast a ballot for him last election but that was still enough to get him in power. It would not shock me if he won again. This country (and by that I mean the city of Toronto) is garbage. Outside of T.O. he received almost no votes.

  50. "they don't come any more evil than Trudeau" Easy now. He froze bank accounts and compelled tow trucks to tow big rigs, he didn't literally line the protesters up and shoot them, as would've happened in countless countries over the last century. (then again I literally wouldn't put it past him if he had the authority to. I do think he's evil deep down but thankfully we live in the democracy so we'll never know).
