  1. This woman has nailed it perfectly. European leaders have let their countries down. It's heartbreaking to watch. Unfortunately, it's happening here in Canada as well. Western nations needs more people like her and less like Trudeau and Starmer.

  4.  @michelyannakopoulos8924  They'll be sued and they'll just up the tuition fees to go there. Then they'll petition the government for more funding under Title 9 or some such nonsense and the school and those, who run the school, won't suffer one bit. A lawsuit is a good start but it won't be enough. We have to insist that those, who took part in the violence, face criminal charges along with those who allowed it to happen. We have to show them out for the bullies and criminals that they are.

  7.  @mmhmm9271  The question is really, do YOU believe that non-human life has moral value. If a mosquito is sucking blood out of you, do you swat it? Do you live on land that was once the home of a wild creature, displaced because YOU needed a home? Are you willing to admit that you have life because non-humans have lost their lives and homes to make room for you? Would you take a medicine to kill non-human life living within you? Where does your sense of morality begin and end? Do you really know? I just did the same thing that you did. I questioned YOUR morality instead of my own just like you questioned HIS morality instead of YOUR own. You're not going to fix him. You can only fix yourself.

  9.  @erichufnagel3474  They didn't go broke. They are being FORCED to stop farming. The Netherlands was one of the most productive farming nations in the world and farmers were prospering and were 2nd, in terms of finances, in food exports. It's ideology that shutting those farms down. Also, for the rest of the farms to remain profitable, food prices will have to go up, affecting the poorest people of the nation. As this "food" ideology spreads around the world, food production will go down and prices will go up. It's basic economics. That will have a HUGE impact on the 3rd world. Sri Lanka tried the same thing as the Netherlands are now and their food production went down around 30%. That's devastating for a poor nation. Inflation went from around 5% to over 130% in 2 years. You're doing what you're doing on your own choice and at your own pace. If it doesn't work, you can slow it down or reverse those choices where it hurt you, financially, the most. Dutch farmers aren't given that option. As a world wide practice, this could spark outright starvation. The Covid epidemic lockdowns have forced over 250 million people BACK into abject poverty. Abject poverty is earning less than $1.90 A DAY, American. Not an hour....A DAY. They make LESS in a week than the minimum wage per hour in California or where I live, in Ontario, Canada. If you force food production down...how many MORE people are going to be facing that kind of oppressive poverty and starvation. These are UN numbers. All this to appease the idea of "responsible eating" as described by Klaus Schwab of the WEF.....a millionaire elitist who believes that he knows how to "reset" the world in his own image. He's convinced all his fellow elitists and industrialists that this is the way to go and it's going to destroy the most prosperous economies this planet has ever seen. The prospects are horrific.

Does that mean that Hunter was acting in behalf of the government when he went to China? It's starting to get a little tangled isn't it.

He felt, at times, more like a nephew than a brother but that didn't mean he wasn't my brother. Some of these wokies are as weird as they get.

I thought we shouldn't be doing that. Looks and age have very little to do with competence. Are you saying that I should be judging solely on looks? Think of the implications of what you're saying.

  18. CNN technical advisor, Charlie Chester, told us that climate crisis would be the next scare tactic. "Fear sells" those are his words. The vaccination program is in full swing with over a billion vaccinations already given. This signals the end of this crisis. They're lining things up for the next crisis and combining it with racism to enact control over our lives.

  19. @Bobby Fett They have special tax exemptions and you know it. It's those special exemptions, exemptions that people like you and I don't have, that are being revoked. Disney has no special right to those exemptions just because of their status as a big corporation. You'd think that the Democrats, who are for the little guy, the victim, would welcome this blow against corporate power. Apparently, they're not as staunch a defender of the powerless and marginalised as they claim.

  20.  @coop-nr6nm  There isn't a big gap between communists and fascists. Both use central planning as a governing tool with complete control over all aspects of society, including the economy. The only real difference is the fascist fascination with nationalism and they do allow private property even as for business ventures. However, all business is under the control of the ruling entity. Nazis even got rid of the unions in work areas with many employees and placed Nazi officers to take over the roles of the unions. After all, why would you need a union when Nazis are the National Socialist German Workers' Party? You'd have two entities representing the workers and that would be redundant. Also, Antifa is doing the same work for the left as Hitler's Brown Shirts did for the Nazis. People argue with me but Fascists are left wing....NOT right wing.

  22. @Bobby Fett So what? That's not what people are complaining about. They're complaining about a HUGE corporation that has special tax privileges while taking part in the political process. Corporations have NO right to govern and no special right to preferential treatment when it comes to taxation or any other government function or requirement.

I must be because this video is about Biden talking to WORLD leaders. Nations, under the sky. Quite relevant....unless Australia doesn't have a sky. Also, you don't seem to understand the concept of "fake news" It's a term used to describe news stories that are intentionally false....you know, they're LYING. Presenting international news isn't lying. Telling a falsehood...THAT'S lying or "fake news". It's kinda surprising that this has to be explained to you.

  27.  @coop-nr6nm  That's where I disagree. They were extremely to the left as far as economics go. Not so much as communists but the Party would mandate in what direction the economy would operate. The owner of any company was at the command of the Party and all aspects of business was handed down from the Party. What to produce, how much, where to get raw materials, who to hire and the owner and his management staff answered to the Party officials who were put in place in lieu of union officials. If the owner of a company failed at his duty to the Party, the company would be confiscated. It was all about Party control. Economically, China uses almost the exact same methods as Nazi Germany did. The only reason that people think right wing, when talking about Fascism is because Germany was Fascist and they were also obsessed with nationalism. Italy was fascist as well but their nationalism wasn't as strident as it was in Germany. Nazi Germany did NOT have a free market system, which means it wasn't a capitalist country, like the US. A centralised economy is socialist, a lot more socialist than Sweden or Denmark, which practise a free market economy. Socialism is left wing and Germany's Party called themselves the National Socialist German Workers' Party. They even double down on the Socialist label by adding "Workers".

  28.  @PuppetXeno  They're banning it as part of the curriculum. If a student, in grade 1, asks about it, it can be discussed on a one to one basis and the parents should be advised that the discussion was had. That's not government over reach. That's an acknowledgement that most kids of that age have no idea of this stuff and that it shouldn't be brought up until a child would be starting to ask about it as a part of their normal development. Parents are worried that this is being discussed with their young children before they're ready to hear it and the government is responding to those concerns. You don't teach calculus to a 7 year old, UNLESS, that child expresses an interest. Even then the teacher should contact the parents to let them know that the child seems to know what calculus is and that he/she might be ready to be taught advanced mathematics. No different than when it comes to sex education. The only difference is that sex can be a vehicle to abuse. Mathematics is not.

  29. Conservatives, especially the moderate right, don't say what they believe. No matter where you're talking about, Australia, the US, Canada, if you say that you like the right wing candidate, lefties lose their mind. They start to turn red in the face, begin to mock and quickly lose all control and the anger starts. The right just doesn't want to deal with the insanity so they say nothing. When asked they just shrug it off but they will give their opinion in the ballot box where no one can see. The left fool themselves into believing they're in the majority and can't realise that they're the ones to blame for the surprise. If they'd stop trying to intimidate the right, maybe those conservatives would speak up when asked. I know I'm not often in the mood to be gang attacked by an outraged left mob.

  30.  @gregporras1845  You might. I didn't go to school to be a bartender but I still did it for almost 15 years. I worked around 30 hours a week at 9 bucks an hour but I would make 2 to 300 in tips of Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. My best night was $580 in tips on a 9 hour shift. I know a guy who bought a house, on the water, with his bartender wages. That's all he did for years. It's a tough job and until a person has done it, they really can't understand how tough it can get. Tough but the money can be really good.

  31.  @Yupster2501  Why did the Mensheviks and Bolsheviks oppose one another in the early Soviet Union. Both followed Marxist principles yet the Mensheviks were eventually legislated out of existence. Being a Menshevik would become illegal. Fascism and Communism have deep Marxist roots. They differ in details, therefore the antagonism, but full social and economic control lie at the heart of both ideologies. That's why they are so similar. Their differences are NOT that big.

  32.  @jillionairess  Maybe you should google Abigail Shrier. She has some incredible stories to tell. It will take you to instances of activist teachers taking part in some terrible things to students regarding sex change and stuff. Not every teacher is an activist or even close to it but all you need is 1% and you've got a problem that has to be addressed. This didn't come out of nowhere.

  33.  Jack Richardson  If you have the truth on your side, you don't have to call people "fools". In fact, you've just created resentment, instead of fostering a thirst for the facts. A much more effective method would be to give a brief explanation of solar irradiance and what it means to our climate and how it might affect increased greenhouse gases and then offer a link to a site that would explain it in a deeper manner. You attract more flies with honey than you do with vinegar. Screaming into the void accomplishes nothing but give the impression that you're the one that's losing it.

  34.  @bloodlove93  That's what upsets me. He's speaking for me, as my PM, but NOT at my behest. He has no right to do that. He's an elected official and there were lots of us that voted against him, well over half the voters in Canada voted against him and his party. If he wants to lecture someone, he should never claim to speak for ALL Canadians because he doesn't and he can't. He's not our dictator. He should speak for himself and let that stand in order that we can all decide on whether he's going in the right direction or not. That's been his biggest problem. He thinks he can speak for me and that I must approve of what he's doing and saying. I do not have to support that.

  38.  @jillionairess  I'm NOT talking about ALL teachers. It's like crime. I'm not talking about all citizens when I say that there should be laws against crime. This law is put into place to protect against that small percentage that are abusing their positions. MORE than that, it codifies when it is age appropriate to begin sex education as part of the curriculum. That's it. Most parents are uncomfortable with strangers talking about sex to their 5 and 6 year old. This assures them that this can't happen until the time is right. Now they know. The NEC, America's top teacher's union, voted to keep teaching CRT, even if it's against the law to teach it. First they deny that it's being taught. Then they vote to continue teaching it. If you want to understand the perils of CRT, listen to James Lindsay's "New Discourses" lectures on YouTube. More so, if you want to hear about how far left ideas have permeated into schools, watch Karlyn Borysenko here on Youtube. It will introduce you to some of the things that this law is supposed to cover. I doubt very much that you'll bother though. You prefer your happy cosy little world where ALL teachers are wonderful. Don't, for one minute, think that I'm against teachers. That's being hyperbolic and intentionally blind. My brother and his wife are teachers and some of my teachers have been absolutely wonderful. However, there has been an influx of far left ideologues into our schools, media and governments that no one should ignore. If you want to ignore what could be happening...that's up to you but don't expect the rest of us to put our heads in the sand with you. The information is out there and if you're not lazy you can find it. I've given you 3 sources to start with but it takes work and a curiosity to find out what it is that we're concerned with. I can lead a horse to water but I can't make it drink. You have to be thirsty enough to find out what the concern is. You don't want to find out the hard way.

  39.  @kippy657  Except for the guy that threw a fire bomb in Washington state or the one who hit the old man in the head with a bike lock. Maybe beating up Andy Ngo is a nuisance or putting an innocent Hispanic marine in the hospital, with head injuries is inconvenient to him, his family and the Marine Corps. In fact, the shooter in Dayton Ohio has demonstrated Antifa sympathies on his social media....but, you know....other than that, they're not a problem. Also, what those Antifa thugs did to that elderly couple is known as harassment. Intimidation through bullying. I'm not sure what I'd call the act of screaming into the face of another person in order to intimidate them, but inconvenient isn't a word that comes to mind.

  40. I'm not really angry. I could care less what that harpy thinks or says. However, if asked what I think, I will say that her behaviour is quite disgusting. She wants the world to look at her but just being a part of the Royal Family and doing the duties that come with it, possibly fading into anonymity, wasn't going to do that. She decided to become controversial, hoping that this would bring her into the spotlight....and it worked, unfortunately. She's using Prince Harry for her own narcissistic purposes.

  42.  @d.h.jefferies2191  When the Keystone Pipeline was cancelled so was oil production in Canada. Now...repeat after me. Lower supplies means increased prices. GET THAT THROUGH YOUR HEAD!!!! That means when oil production is cancelled, available oil supplies, worldwide, goes down. Lower supplies means increased prices. Basic economics which you learn on DAY ONE in economics school. Also, getting an oil lease doesn't always parlay into drilling. In fact it very seldom does. One of the main issues are regulatory bodies which are reluctant to give out permits and how state and federal governments don't want pipelines to transport oil. Another thing, why would these oil companies not cash in on near record oil prices. If I owned a drilling company, I'd be working 24/7 to make as much money as possible. These windfalls don't happen very often. Yet, it isn't happening. What would be the reason for that? Neither you or I can answer it but it's at the heart of the issue. It defies all the oil company greed logic. We need a more in depth look than a babble about whose the best president. We have to talk to those oil drilling company executives and find out WHY they're not drilling when they took out leases.

Of course, if you're for big corporations ruling the land, you'd be upset at them losing special privileges. Long live the corpocracy.

  47.  @ldjman1  I don't know whether each story is true or not. I have to do some fact checking. If it ends up that there are things being said that aren't true, THAT'S when I make my decision on THAT story. I don't go in calling it a lie. That would negate the need for fact checking, first of all, and it also assumes that everything they say is false, which means if a story is true, I'd be going around thinking the opposite, on some kind of illogical principle and assumptions. I only call a story untrue when I have the evidence that backs me up. Otherwise, I remain SILENT. If there's something in this story that you disagree with, let's talk about it. Specifics....that's what's important, not your "fake news" allegations. And why would you assume only "domestic" news sources tell the truth. I've heard our own national news network, the CBC, tell some amazing whoppers. I know that they are whoppers for one reason. FACT CHECKING. I didn't assume it to be false. I fact checked and the facts told me that they were either wrong or worse....lying. That's the logical and honest way of deciding on the veracity of news stories.

  48.  @jillionairess  My 10 year old granddaughter announced that she was bisexual. Her 7 year old sister teased her by calling her trans. She became indignant and said that she was proud of being a woman. Indoctrinate.....I don't know. Bizarre....without a doubt. They were taught this in school. A year later, there was a controversy about teaching Indigenous Studies in school. I asked her what 8X7 was. She didn't know and said that she didn't like math. I told her that maybe she should learn basic mathematics before she went onto such a specific area of study. Once again, she got all indignant. She asked me if I knew that they put Indigenous kids into schools and beat them. White people did that. I told her a friend of mine attended one of those schools. Apparently, her teacher told her class all about that too. I asked her if she knew about Indigenous religions, the foods that they developed, the wars and how the Iroquois completely wiped out the Huron nation. Did she know that the American founding fathers borrowed ideas of forming a union from the Iroquois Federation and that the Iroquois outlawed cannibalism after they formed their union. Apparently, these were never discussed. I told her that what she was talking about was known as "Grievance Studies" Of course, she had no idea what that meant. She was only 11 at the time. Indoctrinated....I still don't know. However, this is stuff that is rather inappropriate in a primary school setting, being taught by a person that her parents barely knew. None of this was taught to my kids when they were in school but that was in the 80s and 90s. I'm not going to say that your experiences didn't happen but just because it hasn't been your experience, it doesn't happen at all. I've never been sexually abused but I'm willing to bet it happens. By the way, my granddaughter is now 16, she's shaved her head bald and wears the most bizarre makeup in some kind of androgynous display of self identity. Was it because she was indoctrinated in school? I can't say but I know her older brother just shakes his head and rolls her eyes at her and says that this specific teacher, that he also had, is a kook. Does that ever set her off.

  49. If the parents don't allow it to happen, the state will take their children away from them. There are some parents who supported the gender thing but a lot of them do not. Some cases end in divorce and the parent that refuses the gender treatment lose all access to their children. Other parents aren't that sophisticated and are emotionally blackmailed into compliance by the state and medical "experts". They tell the confused and unsuspecting parents that their child will commit that life ending procedure on themselves if they don't get gender affirming care. "Would you rather have a live son or a dead daughter". Having lost a child, I know how devastating that though could be. Suing parents should go by the circumstances of each case and how deeply the parents were into gender ideology. Being made to feel forced to sue their parents may deter many from taking any action against the medical people that should know better. Only those parents who actively sought this treatment should be sued. Suing ALL the parents may be the worst thing that you could do.
