US election on news here

So does government exist for land or people?

I agree with your point, I don't really want Nunavat , NWT and Northern Quebec having control over our entire country because of their land area, anymore than I want the current arrangement.

But, there has to be some recognition of contribution to GDP. Not recycling money in the service economy, but actual wealth creation, exportable products or services, when deciding how to make political regions. Otherwise it becomes the takers making decisions on behalf of the makers. Population doesn't necessarily correlate with actual economic contribution. Lots of people in a city going to Tim Hortons and hair salons doesn't have the same net effect on the countries bottom line a a handful of people mining potash or growing grain, or drilling for oil, or fabricating the tools for the above, etc. Even if they do turn over the same amount of money in the same time.

Interesting commentary this morning.

Suggesting Biden basically just has to “not stuff up and almost do nothing” and he will win in a landslide.

World will be a different place if he gets in.

Bette or worse is the big question.

Who knows.

Honestly didn’t expect world wide protests as has happened overnight.

Meanwhile we just keep farming

I wouldn't be so sure that the world will be a different place. Read some of Peter Zeihan's work. Most of what Trump has done was inevitable, regardless of party or leader, and the isolationist trend is likely to only accelerate. Just go back and check the Democrats foreign policies from the previous election.

It might be more palatable and predictable under a civilized leader, and diplomacy and information dissemination might go back to their more traditional avenues, as opposed to tweets, but I doubt the contents will be any different.

Personally, I'm not losing any sleep over the outcome. For one thing, we have much much bigger problems to solve here at home, before we need to concern ourselves with the idiosyncrasies of most successful nation ever. A democratic win might just be good for western Canada. More Canadians (who tend to be much further left than even the Democrats) would be inclined to consider joining the US under a democrat than a Republican, especially this Republican.

General Bonespurs has called in the military to protect the Whitehouse. This is usually only for tin pot dictators. Oh wait he acts like one. What a true leader and man of the people.

What? You have a problem with a "Conservative" candidate that does this:

How will the current events affect Leslyn Lewis' chances?

I don't think the guy in red is Antifa. Looks like he's giving a Heil Five.

99% of the Looting and Murders will occur in the blue zones as well. The electoral college, senate and supreme court stop the blue zones from totally destroying the USA......even though they will try hard and the MSM will cheer it on.

You are correct....no diff in Canada protests in Libtard zones! We just work every day, normal law abiding Canadians and add to economy, pay/support the POOR losers, Laureation Elite and Toronto Socialists/ Communists/ Leftists...and the CBC/MSM slant makes us the problem!

I challenge you to provide ANY documentation saying 99% of looting and murders will occur in blue zones because that does not match any crime statistics for the US. So unless you can back up such a stupid statement you are no better than the agitators inciting hatred and causing destruction in the US.

Here are some actual stats you are going to have to counter with your 99% claim.


Or consider this 2018 list of the most violent states and if they are Red or blue
1. Louisiana Rep
2. Alaska Rep
3. Tennessee Rep
4. Missouri Rep
5 Arkansas Rep
6 Alabama Rep
7 New Mexico Dem
8. Nevada Dem
9 South Carolina Rep
10 Mississippi Rep

Beaverdam, how do you know they were Antifa? How do you know they were left leaning? What proof do you have these agitators are not part of a right wing hate group? How do you know he was not part of the Boogaloo, Klan, White nationalists, neo-nazis, or one of the many neo-confederate groups?

No doubt there are left leaning agitators in the riots, as well as right wing protestors.

Wesley Somers, was arrested yesterdat for lighting fire to the Nashville Courthouse. He is not Antifa, he is an admitted white supremist.


Read the following about right wingers wanting a second civil war before blaming it all on the left.

"An anti-government movement that advocates for a violent uprising targeting liberal political opponents and law enforcement has moved from the fringes of the internet into the mainstream and surged on social media in recent months, according to a group of researchers that tracks hate groups.
The movement, which says it wants a second Civil War organized around the term "boogaloo," includes groups on mainstream internet platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Reddit, as well as fringe websites including 4chan, according to a report released Tuesday night by the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI), an independent nonprofit of scientists and engineers that tracks and reports on misinformation and hate speech across social media." full article at https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/social-media/what-boogaloo-how-online-calls-violent-uprising-are-getting-organized-n1138461 https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/social-media/what-boogaloo-how-online-calls-violent-uprising-are-getting-organized-n1138461

..wow,that's some wishful thinking. After spending just a little time on social media anyone who has at least one good eye and a brain can see this has nothing to do with the right wing...

...but if the rioting continues those imaginary nazis that cnn constantly scares you with just might materialize and there may be some sympathy for it...... scared people become angry people.


....o, and we'll need some proof of wesley Somers involvement with white supremacy or you\re no better than the agit....blah blah blah

Well how about this news from today:
A Twitter account claiming to belong to a national “antifa” organization and pushing violent rhetoric related to ongoing protests has been linked to the white nationalist group Identity Evropa, according to a Twitter spokesperson. https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/security/twitter-takes-down-washington-protest-disinformation-bot-behavior-n1221456 https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/security/twitter-takes-down-washington-protest-disinformation-bot-behavior-n1221456

I guess if you have no brain and believe social media over actual reporting you may actually believe no right wing involvement at all.

....of course it could be fake fake news and intended to cover for antifa...lol

...i really liked this part of th story..
The antifa movement who use direct action to fight the far-right and fascism — has been targeted by President Donald Trump as the force behind some of the violence and property destruction seen at some protests, though little evidence has been provided for such claims

...they need to ask andy ,he's got some evidence...

Sure and you could be a white supremist using false flag tactics to cover for your buddies.

And I too loved the line from the article, which people with reading skills, and especially if they follow the hotlink in the quote, will realize that the statement is saying Trump et all has not provided any evidence for his claims that the violence and property destruction is the work of Antifa.

As far as a twitter feed being proof, I really do feel sorry for you.

Anyone who claims the violence is all one sided is part of the problem.
