    Because someone else would have handled Bush's parting gift better?

    Considering Obama was basically Bush 2.0? It looks like most of the Obama administrations actions were more of the same while not having a clue as to what was going on. It also didn't help that while republicans started driving neocons out of the party(like David Frum), those same neocons were happily welcomed with open arms by the democrats.

    You can easily not use Twitter.

    Except where your government has turned around and directly uses it for public discourse, weather alerts/warnings/etc, policy announcements and so on right? Then we get into the area where twitter has moved from a private company with no protections, to a private company that has an influence on public discourse, information and so on.

    ...should have enough sense not to vote for people who'll push them into being 0.5-1 month of unemployment away from foreclosure proceedings?

    8 years under Obama is generally what got those people there in the first place. Their options are: More of the same, or a different path. Looks like the choice of "a different path" is working out much better for most people already.

    Most of what the democrats are pulling right now is "more of the same" and people are tired of it. It's the same reason that the democrats are experiencing what's called "party flight" where the core becomes more moderate and looks at 3rd party alternatives, or they simply switch because they want to see them burn. The democrats delegates just finished electing a full-on anti-white race baiter to the leadership of the party, that's not going to help them win either the rustbelt or the heartland. It's also not just happening in the US, but Canada as well. There has been a shift from Liberals to both Green and NDP effectively fracturing the "left-wing vote" into 1/3's. ~20 years ago it was the Conservatives(PC) and Reform Party(smaller government, more resource exports, etc). Canada did very well under the CPC(party that replaced both of them under unification), regardless of what your views on Harper are, Canada was the only G8 and G20 country not to enter recession during the 2008 crash. And was the only country to gain net FT jobs over PT jobs during the recovery period.

    Good thing you know less of the law then you're quoting. You see where the word "incite" is? Now go look up the definition, and show where he tells people to go out and do it.

    Ex: You know what I hate? All those muslims and mexicans, damn well integrate into society and stop crossing over illegally and being a drain on society. - This is not a 319 offence.

    Ex: You know what I hate? All those muslims and mexcians. We need to get the trees ready, and get the rope. And here's where we're starting boys! - This is a 319 offence.

    Note that 319 also covers "reasonable discussion" the above is also not a 319, I could have a discussion on a street corner in Canada arguing both points of view and it's still not a hate crime.

    Hmm

    Remember that the antifa thugs attacked them first, and the police were told to stand down to "make it easier to arrest people."

    You can read the entire report yourself. The report puts the entire fault of it at the feet of the: Mayor, Police Chief, Governor, and the original agitators of violence(antifa and black clad protesters). If you dig a bit further? Well, I hope you're ready for your bubble to be burst on it.

  8. Could actually be worse then that. She could actually have the thief's car, one of the more interesting problems we're seeing up here in Canada is VIN swapping. Where car thieves take a VIN off a vehicle marked as totaled/non-recoverable then put it onto a car that's been stolen. It wouldn't surprise me if the dashboard VIN doesn't match the engine/sub-frame VIN's. Those are really the only ones you can trust.

    In Canada, all doctors are paid at the same level. If you worked in a private hospice clinic doing hernia surgery for instance, you were paid the same if you were working a *insert hospital at city*. Usually in the 280k-400k range depending on your years of service and so on. As well, in Canada your teachers wages are generally not all the much out-of-sync with private or public school. The differences are usually around $5k/year or less. The US has far bigger problems in this area compared to Canada because there is far bigger problems with criminality in those inner city schools, and lack of moral and ethical teaching.

    I don't remember usenet tailoring what information I could or couldn't see, or people posting every 1.83 seconds that they're now finishing a piece of cake. I remember specific help groups that had detailed information, but compared to social media it's nowhere near the same.

    Doesn't work that way in Canada, not enough money. Let me explain simply how strained resources are, 13k illegals from the US showed up in Quebec and Ontario and broke the welfare system. Private charities that cover only heating, and get 90% of their funding from the government for the year had spent it all by December of the previous winter seasons(2016). No money for your pipe dream, none at all. It again makes better sense to build cheap NG plants and push the price of electricity down.

    You're making my point for me. She's got/using abilities that he didn't have, learned or mastered.

    Only if you go to the US, or another country that allows you to. There's one system of healthcare in Canada, just one. You're not going to be paying money out of pocket for healthcare to "jump the queue." There are no private hospital care options in Canada. I guess that's wrong though, gee or something.

    Sometimes, sometimes if you're lucky a province may have private hospice care where patients can pay 50% of "day-in" surgery, Ontario had that for hernia care. It doesn't anymore, it was ruled in violation of the healthcare act. That hospice had been operating since 1883 and was shut down almost 12 years ago. Your ignorance is astounding though.
