I mean who cares about having a sustainable diversified economy or climate change, there's money to be made here for rich international businesses that will destroy the environment while giving nothing back to the Canadian taxpayer. Drill baby, drill!

Who cares if we're destroying the environment, the Americans do it a lot worse, just think of the 18B we made, I mean that could like 90% of the budget of the glorious Canadian Forces for a full year! Either fully nationalize the Oil and Gas industry or GTFO. The amount of damage we're doing to the environment to line the pockets of rich Halliburton CEO's is absurd. Why does Canada not have an equivalent to Gazprom or Saudi Aramco? I wouldn't expect a Harper supporting proud CF member to understand things like this, especially one that agrees with the campaign slogan of Sarah Palin - noted idiot

David Corbett posted:I'm not a lawyer, but I'm not sure how you could interpret the circumstances of the crime - abandoning a pair of almost-octogenarians in the woods, at least one of whom you have severely injured and is bleeding, after depriving them of all their resources, including their methods of communication, transportation, and shelter - as anything other than having a reasonably foreseeable outcome of death. If Vader *didn't* kill them in the commission of his crime, then surely he left them in a position where their deaths were inevitable; after all, it was evidently so isolated and desolate that to this day, six years later, their bodies still haven't been found. Yeah you pretty much just described manslaughter perfectly, good work

namaste faggots posted:holy poo poo you loving white people This is true, but funny coming from someone who loves to hype the benefits of private school. Every study that I've ever seen on the subject suggest that the most important factor for a child's development is level of parental involvement, and that level of schooling/income levels are much less key. A poor child who has a parent that cares will generally do better academically than a rich child who's parents don't give a gently caress

I'm having trouble believing three dudes with balaclava's and handguns were trying to rob some dumb farmer in bumfuck Saskatchewan, 1: everyone knows each other in those communities so the fact that no one could find them after a huge search is suspicious 2. why are muggers out in the middle of bumfuck Saskatchewan? the fact that they had handguns makes it even more suspicious, those aren't the types of guns found in rural communities, let alone having 3 people with 3 different handguns. I could see something like this happening in a city, but are people really gonna drive 8 hours just to rob some dumb hicks? nah Basically some redneck made up a story (I bet the muggers were brown and muslim when he first told it) and got a bunch of other rednecks all fired up.

Minge Binge posted:I dig all the earnest, wordy, cringey posts that I've seen popping up on Facebook for the last few months. People going into detail on what would happen if the united states elect trump. All these doomsday scenarios. But I think my favorite part about Canadians commenting on the United States election is how I always get an impression from them that everything was fine until Trump became prominent. That America always had this redneck base, and all it took was a Trump to unlock them. And once Trump is gone everything will be back to normal. Everything will be fine. The madness will finally end. Hillary and Trudeau will be in office, and our two nations will continue to prosper. I'd be much more concerned with Hillary's antagonistic approach to Russia and her pretty well saying she plans to go to war with the Syrian Regime than i would be about a bunch of stupid rednecks in Texas that have always and will always be there

patonthebach posted:Talk about a different story then when this first came out. Remember the first new stories said the group claimed they were there because of a flat tire and the farmer just randomly decided to kill some natives? Seems the comments on the cbc article about problems with vehicle theft in that area were right. Doesnt excuse him bringing out a firearm for that type of offence though, what a totally reckless and horrible thing for the farm owner to do. I work casually at a youth detention centre, I'd say the average time a youth that committed theft under 5000+trespassing+drunk driving would spend in custody would probably be between 60-150 days. Gerald Stanley decided the appropriate punishment for these crimes was death. gently caress Rurals, this ignorant hick deserves the 10+ years he'll spend in prison

Here's a friendly reminder that we are only two generations removed from the height of the residential school era and many of the victims of that era are still alive. Their children and grandchildren still feel the effects of this legacy today (if they weren't in residential school themselves, the last one closed only 20 years ago after all)

peter banana posted:where on that scale does "a true left wing and labour organized movement would never take root in any major party because there wouldn't be enough support for it" fall, because that's where I am, to be honest. This is why I support PR, new small niche parties would form and be able to influence the larger parties because the current parties would never be able to form a majority or a governmental mandate without support from at least some of the smaller parties. Sure for every socialist party that formed we'd get the Old Stock Canadian party that was racist and discriminatory, but that would be worth it if our current lovely parties couldn't get carte blanche to do whatever they want with only 37% of the popular vote. I'm tired of gritting my teeth and voting for the least bad option, I want to vote for the party I support and for them to have proper representation in parliament, even if only ~2% of the electorate agreed with me in my choice of leaders
