The constitutional authority of the feds is not in question. But will any federal government use that power to override Quebec objections? No. Also, much of the constitutional leverage has been diluted by the never ending lawfare that a government can't avoid by overriding the courts.

That summarizes the problem but what is the answer? None obvious. First consider oil pipelines. Pipelines to the Maritimes have to pass through Quebec and that's not going to happen. All provincial parties have made it clear: no pipelines. No PM/government will force Quebec, it doesn't matter what i...

How does this relate to current efforts by Bob Rae and Justin Trudeau to promote the UN and a World Order?

Lol, good question. Maybe the problem is that you think Lord of the Rings is fiction.

When the wokeness religion collided with the COVID religion, wokeness won that battle pretty handilly. I suspect it will be the same if wokeness and environementalism ever come to clash.

Environmentalism became a religion some time ago. Will be interesting to see if the religions of wokeness and environmentalism clash.

In virology population mortality rates are irrelevant. The two that matter are the infection mortality rate (IMR) and the case mortality rate (CMR). To the average person, it's the IMR that is talked about: If I get the disease, what is the chance of me dieing? Publicized flu mortality rates are IMR...

The increase in the recovery rate may be due to increased testing. Initially, only those with covid symptoms were tested. The expansion in testing will spot those with mild infections who recovery quickly.

What is strange is that the case mortality rate has gone up from 7% in May to 8.25% in June.

This is pretty damn sick. I live in the USA, where I try to use Southwest Airlines whenever I can. They have a transparent refund policy, no BS fees, you just get a credit.

Not a Canadian, but here is Ann Coulter, who was once his avid supporter, on her current views of Trump. She has written many more substantive complaints about him.

Right now Trump is going down to defeat in November. He is running behind in must win states like Wisconsin and Arizona and only neck-and-neck in Texas and Ohio.

I've long said that ANY government deficit or debt by any party should be illegal, period. Decades from now assorted governments everywhere will be citing Covid-19.

Get a grip WV. No one said Karahalios couldn't run for parliament just that he couldn't run for CPC leadership. No constitutional violation here as parties have the legal right to turf leadership candidates. You can make the argument that it should have been left up to the members to decide on him b...

We can't just go back to how things were, not yet, because even if businesses open again, people are not going to go back.

The CPC is not my party. And, one of the reasons why is because of stuff like this.

I never said anything about you attacking the CPC. Karahalios did the deed and the party doesn't need to be attacked over religious beliefs from within. Get enough of that from outside.

Must everything be a conspiracy? There is nothing wrong with attacking members of other parties but never take a hatchet to one's own party. He has proven that he would be a disaster as a party leader.

A problem is that the focus of the Covid fight has changed. Initially it was to flatten the curve: push infections forward in time to avoid a spike in cases that would overwhelm the heath system.

Ditto, neither have been any good. Trump's flip flops and lack of direction may well be the nail in his re-election coffin.

With an idiot in charge of the country, an open border is a mixed blessing. Open it and illegal migrants will start flooding in again adding to our financial and crime burden. Slowly start opening while keeping the illegals out.

Trudeau's behavior has been disgusting in his desperation for five years to get a worthless Security Council seat. It's cost us billions in bribes to s***hole countries to buy their vote. I hope we don't get it but if we do, rest assured Trudeau will proclaim this is proof the "Canada is back".
