So let's pretend that some government succeeds, in eliminating all the current social safety net programs........ and rolls them all into a UBI, and also reduced the size of the government workforce ......... to save taxpayers some money.

Now you're suggesting a need for some "exceptions" .......... but how long do you think it would take for a party, in a future election, to "promise" another "exception" to win a few more votes, then another, then another .......... and eventually we'd be right back where we are today at some point.

Buying votes will never go away, and you and I both know it.

It depends on how the rules are structured. The exceptions would be for people with disabilities, etc.

From an enterprise change management point of view, you clearly define a scope, to ensure you don't suffer from project drift. It's true that sometimes politicians promise things they aren't allowed to do. There should be a process in place for dealing with that.

Remember when MSNBC tried to say all Trump supporters are racists and accidentally interviewed a black guy





When she didn’t get the answer she wanted all of a sudden there is no story when it doesn’t fit the race baiting Progressive Liberal narrative.

Remember when Trump supporters tried to prove that the media was lying about his rally size, by pretending a picture of the cavs championship parade was actually a picture of the crowd for his rally?

Ottawa is deep at goal tending, more so than at anytime in recent memory. If either of the two at the NHL level cannot grab and run with the "starter" moniker, then I believe there will be no hesitation in bringing up a goaltender from Binghamton to shake up the the other two. The competition (within the organization)should be enough to improve the goal tending from last year. And keep in mind, both Leclaire and Elliot are in "contract years".

I'll stick by my original prediction of Buffalo, Boston and Ottawa as playoff teams (not in that order) Montreal struggling to keep their hold on the eighth playoff seed in the Eastern Conference, and the leafs improving, but not enough to be in the playoff picture. Oh and Kadri plays most of the season in the AHL.

Apparently Rex Tillerson was cool with Exxon lying about climate change when he was there... and used a fake email address to discuss the science, that they apparently knew was correct, but chose to scam away.

Really shocking that it'd turn out that a member of this administration was sketchy as (frank).

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has made calls to remove “reprehensible” Confederate statues from the halls of Congress.

I wonder why the Left Wing Progressive Democratic party's Cheerleaders main stream media have omitted in telling the public that her father dedicated a “reprehensible” Confederate statue decades ago while mayor of Baltimore.

It was May 2, 1948, according to a Baltimore Sun article from that day, “3,000” looked on as then Governor William Preston Lane Jr. and Pelosi’s father, the late Thomas D’Alesandro Jr., spoke at the dedication of a monument to honour Confederate generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson.

i never even heard the term ANTIFA until like 6 days ago
- Crimsoninja


An anti-fascist group whose members assaulted two Global News journalists at a demonstration in Quebec last weekend defended their actions Thursday and threatened more violence against journalists covering future protests in order to, according to the post, “make demonstrations safer” for the group.

As we learned Monday through The Globe and Mail, a well-connected former Liberal candidate named Rana Sarkar, a Butts’ buddy, is on his way to San Francisco as consul-general for nearly twice the amount of $119,600 to $140,700 that a normal schmo would be paid if established compensation rules were followed.

Liberals' addiction to identity politics bad for parties, political life

Robert Fulford

A long-time leftist, Lilla claims that the Democrats have become addicted to pressure groups that slice the public into ethnic, national and sexual elements. These slices have together overwhelmed the Democratic Party itself and rendered it irrelevant. The left has now balkanized the electorate and invested its energies in social movements rather than party politics.

Robert E Lee. Noted for his views against white supremacy. Noted abolishionist. Totally didn't fight a war to keep black people as slaves.
