I'm ok with this.

Since apparently you are unable to connect the dots I'll do it for you.

A poster indicated that they were upset with the thought of pets dying. To normal people that means exactly that: a person was upset with pets dying.

You, somehow, extrapolated that this actually means:

1 - The person values the lives of pets over people.
2 - The person can only value one thing at a time.

Therefore this person must only value the pets and doesn't care about the people.

Only you are making this argument. No one else is. The person didn't say they only cared about pets, that's your twisted mind drumming that up.

So based on that we can conclude that either:

A - You're being contrarian for no apparent reason; which makes you an rear end in a top hat. So stop.
or
B - Your brain literally cannot comprehend this situation which is a sign of mental disease since it's actually not difficult to do exactly that.
or
C - You have never been able to do this which would lead to sociopathy.

Seek help.

The single largest election in Canada, in which a single person is directly competing for the most individual votes, is the race for mayor of Toronto. Nobody needs to directly win more votes than that mayor. Even our Prime Minister only directly competes for the votes in his own riding.

Our biggest direct election. And we elected Rob Ford.

If your head wasn't so far up your rear end you'd notice people love bitching about and dissecting the flaws of every part of the country. You just get off on complaining about how mean the thread is to Alberta.

Were you even born there? You have the needy, agitated behavior of a convert. You didn't by chance grow up outside the province and move there later in life?

Good loving god why do I ever look at Facebook comments. It drat near sounds like people think Notley and Trudeau started the fire and siphoned all the gas out of the water bombers when they took all the firefighting money away. So they can raise taxes to rebuild.

Also it is too soon to talk about climate change. Then it will be too soon because we are rebuilding, then it will be too soon because the economy is still bad, then it will be who cares because the economy is good.

Nah

Here's something that got dug up from last year that should rile up our favorite posters

https://twitter.com/BCGovNews/status/621719571851026436

That was a proposal that ended up becoming a tripling of previous fines. Of course, as with all flat fines, this ends up hitting the poor while the rich can basically write it off without a second thought

edit: thought, not though

Really cool and nice and all but I'm going to state the obvious here they are spending their money that they receive from the Canadian government to help Canadiens whose tax dollars are the money that they are going to donate (because they are getting money from our government). Why not spend the tax dollars to help ourselves first? Lol

Sorry, not buying it.Trudeau is under fire for these two things. Bringing in too many refugees and not doing anything/enough for the people of his country. I was wondering and waiting how long it would take for this BS to come out.. Only took 5 days...
