Yes! Thank you... and we need more than just two/three political parties because we often have to choose between the lesser of two evils, which is unfair to the people. I'd like to see the Republicans go and maybe add a labor party or something similar.
Indicative of the real welfare queens and terrorists you need to worry about, not someone from another country. They're right in your backyard, running multi-billion dollar corporations, and holding office.
Your oppression is their profession.
Non-MAGA Republicans should run as Independents and take the ORIGINAL Republican message to the People. After what the MAGA "Representative" lap dogs have allowed, that would give disgruntled Trumpers (and disillusioned Democrats) a choice that DIDNT require voting for either Party!
Well we aren't going to get rid of anything with these weak sauce Democrats that we have right now especially in the Senate. There needs to be a Tea Party on the Left looking for GOOD candidates now to be vetted. No more Fetterman's or Sinema's backed by the DNC because it's all they got.
Absolutely correct! What is happening to America and the World right now has been worked towards for 60+ years! I've watched as our middle class was slowly trickled down upon and now there are homeless across America and the second depression is looming! WTF?! Republican Party Conspiracy!
I agree with everything but the dead kids. Canada, you have mass graves of dead indigenous children. Murdered while in the care of your culture destroying schools.
You may not have the gun problem we have in the US, but you DO have your own bloody past you need to face.
This thread is about school shootings and how USA is the only developed nation in the world that experiences them. Showing how Canada hs many of the same factors that people use to excuse this issue in the US.
Then you slid in with an article about residential schools.
We haven't. That's why your people need to be better. We KNOW we're fuck ups, but y'all actually have the capacity to face your past, acknowledge the fuckery, and make reparations.
So I thought about this. There are likely cultural reasons that help construct a barrier protecting kids from being shot in school but with enough people, one can expect more crazies. In the end maybe the old adage of my earlier years, "the cold keeps the riff raff out" is the real truth.
The difference is that Canada has 4 parties with significant power in the House so all points of view are represented. The US system effectively allows only two, which in practice has shut the left out completely (the Dems are center-right.)
They are against everything that progressive cultures agree is right and good for everyone. They are consistently the only outliers in the world against things like single payer healthcare and low-cost/no cost higher ed.
Republicans today are aligned with our nation's adversaries...lending aid and comfort to our enemies.
Now they've breached security allowing our enemies access to our secrets.
That's treason.
Hanging for the leaders...prison for those who collaborated, if they're lucky.
Surprised that as a former colony (w. the King as head of state) Canada doesn't have morning assembly w. "Church of England" prayers/hymns the way UK schools do (or used to... it's been ~50 yrs)
It may have been the case back in the day in public schools. But basically around WWI Canada started taking cultural cues from the US rather than England.
Plus the church of England was not so dominant. There were more Presbyterians, Baptists, Methodists and other protestant denominations.
While masses have succumbed to their fringe majority, there is still hope for many who are beginning or soon will realize that what was promised is a lie & manipulation of base fears cultivated to this point that need to be removed from the light of day-if not permanent, at least buried again!
A of conservatives still think like their conservative fathers. Our job is to convince them that today’s conservatives are just not the same as those of yesteryear.
Our advantage is that we can point south of the border and noisily affirm that WE DON’T WANT THAT.
Thanks! This is a time when what each of us has to give, needs to be targeted as well as possible. That starts with research into what choices there are re: actions, people, and orgs to join with/support. (i.e. What are they actually contributing/accomplishing?)
Canada has had a few school shootings (Polytechnique in the late 80s, Dawson College for example). Lives were lost, but nothing on the scale and numbers of what the US has had.
Just an FYI for Canadians. It's working.While on a break at work I overheard an Air B&B owner talking on her phone [Michigan/USA]. She said she's usually booked for the entire yr. by now. Said ALL her Canadian clients have cancelled [main clients] & now the Americans are cancelling. At 25% bookings
She was loading up the back of her vehicle with Water Softner Salt talking on her phone/ear bud thing. She also mentioned April 2nd as Liberation Day. She stated that the Americans were cancelling because of concerns about the economy and social unrest to boot.
Why would anyone come here now. People visiting are getting picked up by ICE while standing in line at the airport. People with visas are being picked up for made up or non illegal reasons.
We have the same movies, the same violent video games, and the same struggles with mental illness ... but we still don't allow our children to be slaughtered
With 5 different candidates, VP are separate races, no more same party tickets. They have to truly work together and since they wouldn't be the same party, hold each other accountable when they misstep their roles
There was a time when the GOP was useful and constructive. But then, along came Newt Gingrich in the 1990's with his anger, lies, gridlock, & conspiracy theories. Ever since then, the party seems to have lost its core values & morality and is driven for power and control -no national goals or agenda
Yup. These are not the same ol’ republicans. These are angry, entitled, resentful, immoral, uncaring people who judge from fear and hate. They need to be driven back underground where they belong.

Is there a line, down further, about “all of the above?”
Asking for an international neighbour.
The question is “how?”
What is the plan or mechanism to get rid of them? It has to start. Now.

You don't have a domestic terrorist organisation that bribes politicians to do nothing about gun control legislation.
You FG!!
We need a revolution
They are Nazis now
We know how to handle guns responsibly.
You may not have the gun problem we have in the US, but you DO have your own bloody past you need to face.
There were 526 “Indian Boarding Schools” in the US. Do you really think the same didn’t happen?

The myth of American exceptionalism is so gross.
https://apnews.com/article/canada-67da8a8af88efc91e6ffc64630796ec9
The difference is, our country and leaders are committed to addressing the atrocities and making sure it doesn’t happen again.
You can’t say the same thing about the USA and its gun fetish culture
Guns >> 🧒
Then you slid in with an article about residential schools.
And those are not the same.
Gun laws do help but they only work if people follow them.
But again, the majority of illegal guns are imported from the US, just like in Mexico.
DO NOT VOTE FOR THE RIGHT WING!

But in those schools kids of other faiths can attend and opt out. It's not shoved down anyone's throat.

Thank you for your recommendations.
The reason I still remember it is because the weapons used were illegally brought in from the US.
Just like Mexico, the vast majority of illegal weapons in Canada come from the US.

Another proof that they don't teach reading.
One of the commandments is:
'Thou shall no kill'
And nobody seems to know that one.
Their stupid
In denial
Even when Trump takes their jobs and their dreams
They defend him
They r weak
How many tags do we get?
