Canada Has Fallen

Make an argument, but dont be a hypocrite.

You ask more than he can give.

Growing up in a hyper-religious environment was a highly educational experience in seeing the unwavering commitment that a hypocrite maintains to the cause.

dml is just another example in another religion - covidianism and climatism.

he is every bit as skilled as those from my past, and just as unconvincing.

The worst harm they do is to their own cause, their dis-credible arguments usually being further destroyed by their conduct. There are very worthy and defensible aspects of religion, just as there are in recognizing the immeasurable benefit of properly directed efforts in environmental protection.

But those who claim to be the definitive voice of reason in any field are usually the most deserving of one's full suspicion as something other than them profess.

IMHO and experience. Observation is the well-regarded building block of empiricism..

What was the cost of cancelling Keystone? Or are you going to try to sell us that same chestnut that the world didnt need the oil.

Trudeau cancelled at least $250B in projects with a stroke of a pen. At least another $100B in investment capital fled before covid.

Make an argument, but dont be a hypocrite.

Trudeau did not cancel Keystone. TC Energy pulled the plug after Biden refused permits.
The rest of your post is as much garbage as your claim that Covid would end after US elections.

Your right. The brain drain happens when the a opportunity is better elsewhere because of government policy or poor economy.

Lived with it in Saskatcewan for generations while we collected equalization.
We thought we lived in a poor province but we just had poor government.

So you have to ask yourself - who was then, and who is now, benefiting from poor policy or government?

There are steps to leaving a country. First the capital goes, then the currency goes, then the ties go.

There is also lots of inter provincial migration as a first step. You will see lots of people move to AB now with the hopes that they separate. A lot of Quebec anglos are leaving too. Maritimers that had previous links to AB. BCers finished with that commie province.

The re-alignment is happening. There is no going back to what was.

Brain drain is overstated hyperbole! How many people swore they would leave US when Trump was elected? How many people swore they would leave US when Trump lost and Biden was elected? How many on here repeated said they would leave if Trudeau was relected? How many repeated say that Canada is done for and time to leave? If anyone actually believed what they are saying they would have packed up and left if not for their own sake, for their families. And I guarantee there are still thousands times more highly educated people wanting to immigrate to Canada from countries that truly are repressed, violent, and with living standards a fraction what they are here.

The real damage done to this country has been loss of faith by the business community that Canada can deliver due to blockades. It wont be people leaving it will be companies looking at alternative suppliers.
And that cost is so much more than tow trucks.

You’re obviously not from Saskatchewan or were asleep from 1991 to 2007. Brain drain is a real thing. Sure there are people clamouring to get in here too and our country still is better than others but when conditions get poor here our highly skilled people find work elsewhere. It is the beauty of having a skill set in demand which enables you to work abroad and perhaps never come back.

No.
No bodies were ever found either. Was a total scam but we got a new national holiday out of it.

We are living off Grant Devines and Ross Thatchers vision. Suffered also from Devines spending, give you that, but suffered every time with nothing tangible to show when NDP were in power. You won’t convince me seen ndp bs with my own eyes.

Remember that town in BC that burned down from a rail spark about the same time. Did CN get sued for that? Or was it just a convenient cover story.

I suspect those countries you were in that ruled with a gun had also experienced a brain drain that happened when they went over from colonial government to a long series of "elected" dictators?
Not poor countries but very poor government.

Happening in South Africa right now is you look past the PC bullshit.

Some are coming here as we appeared more stable.
