The "LOLCANADA" thread...again

Again, you're missing my point. Why is not "mansplaining" to teach women how to get not get pregnant but it is "mansplaining" to teach them about the importance of motherhood?

Why do you post like you have an audience and use pronouns like "us" and "we". It is weird, who's we?

Well the this topic came up because of low fertility rates of women under 30. Since women decide when sex happens, when they get pregnant,have a biological clock, since they nurture and breastfeed the baby if they use daycare etc.

Most men are fumbling idiots when it comes to babies before they have their own and learn from the mother. Women are the key decision maker when it comes to having children.

You really can't admit it, can you? You can't just clearly state that the "population control" program you were vaguely alluding to was some 1970s program. LMAO. That is hilarious. And the shifty avoiding taking ownership for your pathetic comparison is amazing.

There is a massive difference between "telling women to embrace motherhood" and explaining basic sex ed ffs.

LMAO. We i.e. the people the thread lmao how are you this bad at reading comprehension.

Sounds like instead of trying to tell women how to live their lives you should be focusing on these fumbling idiot men!

Again what are you talking about? Your critical thinking skills are 0. If there was a coordinated effort between governments because the concern was over population and limited resources than what is the difference between a coordinated effort if declining population is the concern?

Of course there is a difference. Your argument was women know their bodies and it's "mansplaining".

Nobody else is responding to me. I understand, it's a cry for help because you suck.

Supply and demand my friend. Men do what they need to do to attract women. Are you suggesting men need to force women to get pregnant? Weird.

If? If? IF???

Just answer clearly. What program are you alluding to that had the Canadian government trying for "population control"? I'm guessing it's something from the 1970s, which would be so hilariously embarrassing for you, so is that actually it? I have no idea why you are being so evasive. You brought it up. What specifically are you talking about?

I thought he did with the easy access to birth Control was his answer. Today you could add in how much easier it is to get an abortion with the morning after pill

who cares? the city of Toronto will still lose money on the world cup let them get a rebate

Correct, so LOLCANADA AMIRITE

How's the Elbow up! crowd doing today? Still pouring out already paid for liquor bottles and cancelling already paid for vacations? The new world order should be announced any day now I'm sure.

Let's ask how the crowd it doing? Oh wait, polls consistently show Canadians who voted for Carney and many who didn't rate him quite a bit higher for handling Trump https://innovativeresearch.ca/while-both.... It's actually one of the best issues for Carney. Safe it to say the "elbow's up" crowd remains pretty positive about who they voted for.

Of course you misunderstood that quip in a mike myers comedy campaign ad as being equivalent to some made up government policy of refusing to ever work the americans ever again. But nobody else was confused. So when normal people see Carney working hard for Canada and trying to do what is best (which is sometimes NOT capitulating and taking a terrible deal) they generally give it a pretty positive light.

Hey did you notice that Trump redid those tariffs no longer blaming fentanyl but instead human trafficking? Of course the SECURE THE BORDER folks that chanted up and down this thread the trump line at the time seem to have not realized how completely wrong they were to believe the obvious gimmick.

I suspect every city will lose money. FIFA is so corrupt

i mean all international sporting events are money sinks a huge cost to any city that takes it on. you dont make money hosting the Olympics.

Toronto taking money from billionaires and corporations like ticketmaster from scalping tickets and doing it themselves is the most based thing ive heard in awhile. would you rather the government take the money and put it into improving a city or would you rather it go over seas to a billionaire. I don't even like Toronto

The funny thing about events like the World Cup all of a sudden Vancouver cleans up the homelessness and open drug use till the event ends than it no longer can do it .

Do you think Vancouver should continue to fund the various additional initiatives to anti-homelessness groups that it is doing on a temporary basis and make them permanent?

Or is your guffawing at how funny this is the type of thing where push comes to shove and you would always find an excuse no matter the initative to vote against spending money on homeless people?

Poll results aren't an argument. I thought the Elbows up! Crowd was all about banding together and fighting Donald J. Trump. Unless it was a faux outrage to win an election? How has the fight been going is my question, not what are the polls saying.

Canada is in a recession, people and investment are leaving, food bank visits are increasing. Is there going to be a deal? Trump hasn't spoken to Carney in months. Didn't Carney promise to have a deal and "win" by July of 2025 because he's such a strong negotiator?

Poll results are a direct answer to your question: "How's the Elbow up! crowd doing today?". You have this belief that time has proven the lie of a campaign slogan - but this crowd doesn't seem to agree with you. They still think Carney is much much better than Poilievre on this file.

At this point I think you've said Elbows up more than Carney ever did! My goodness. No, Shifty, people were and remain absolutely outraged by what Trump did. An effective politician would manage to tap into that genuine outrage. But also anyone who listened to more than one mike myers commerical quickly picked up the Carney has more than a two word approach no matter how well it captured a feeling of authentic outrage and instead had a significant policy depth that righly or wrongly he has been implementing as Canada does indeed fight back against the attacks on us.

Because you've never understood the legitimacy of Canadian's anger at Trump - who you adore - you seem incapable of understanding anything that followed.

Right. It sucks. Trump shows zero indication of relenting his attacks on Canada. From what glimmers we have seen Carney was either going to have to give up the farm in a terrible for Canada capitulation for a "deal", or he could try and wait it out relying on the existing CUSMA protections that give Canada in some ways better deals than other countries. It's hard to evaluate - good or bad. It's hard to score political points on - good or bad.

It seems weird that every city says the cause of homelessness is a lack of housing when in fact for the majority its an addiction problem . I am all for spending money but wisely. Mandatory treatment is one method .

Personally I admire the route El Salvador took or stop wasting our medical resources on overdoses

Also lets not forget there are folks that end up homeless due to other circumstances and we should have way of helping these folks a hand up instead of a handout

Which city, specifically, do you think claims homelessness is unrelated to addiction? This seems entirely made up and patently false.

I think what is happening is you see calls to spend more money on housing for unhoused people and just totally made up that this false claim about addiction.

All I hear is we need more housing for the homeless which is not true. You actually believe that a majority of the homeless are not battling addictions?

So you didn't "hear" something and just made up something completely false?

And look, you did it again:

Why did you imagine this? I didn't say anything that could possibly suggest I was arguing against this. This isn't "either or". There can be not enough low-income housing to support unhoused people AND a majority of those unhouse people are suffering from either substance use or mental health challenge or both. This isn't one axis where if you try to provide more homeless shelters you are magically denying something about substance abuse.

LOL in one sentence the unhoused as homeless is offensive than you use homeless shelters. Should they not be called unhoused shelters ?

My goodness you are a snowflake sometimes. The way you guys absolutely nitpick over every detail of terminology and somehow manage to totally lose the thread of a conversation, ignore the entire substance of post and obsess about this or that phrase is quite something. Not everything has to offend you buddy.

Communists Vancouver council stage 3 water ban
Reservoirs are full it rains every other day

Nice to see a shooting every day in Surrey by immigrant Indians

So bizarre how you shine your outrage from issue to issue. Like 4 seconds of googling reveals the issues:

To try and blame this on "communists" it's just like lmao wtf
