Sorry, should have been clearer that it is in reference to the tar sands, which I was looking for a picture to post. You're right. Fixed it.
LoL - you can edit your post without the edit thing? Nice...
It looks like Shift-4 actually edited your post in the quotes to make it look like you said something bad... when you originally never did

I confess - I don't get all the fuss over Daylight Saving Time. It's just one hour. I rarely go to bed at the same time on the weekend anyways. Over the years, I have never noticed it having any impact on me.
I've always wondered though, what happens to people working overnight shifts? Do they work an hour for free in the fall? Do they lose an hour of pay in the spring?
I work a 9 hr shift (1 hr is OT)... or I work a 7 hr shift....

Yes, you will. A child brought up in poverty will very often cost us all for the next 80 years .....
Get out your wallet and get ready to start paying....
Give a Man a Fish, and You Feed Him for a Day.Teach a Man To Fish, and You Feed Him for a Lifetime. Chinese Proverb?
No... I wont.... because you just said you would pay more, so now you're paying my share, there's no problem to worry about...

You will pay more then... You will pay for the child's entire life of services.....
You think you are saving money but in fact you are going to pay much more.
No I wont... you said you would pay more because it's the right thing to do... you can pay my share, since I think the right thing to do would be for someone not to have kids before they can afford it so they don't steal money from the rest of us just because they make poor life decisions

If a homeless person makes a poor decision to have a kid.....
One way or another we will all be paying for that child.. whether that is welfare for the family... or policing, mental health services.... probation.... legal aid...... prison system... probation officer...
So many costs later in a life if a child is not properly fed / housed / and cared for..
Pay ( invest ) now or pay later.. You choose.
Naaa... I'll pay nothing... you can pay my share

Oh i see ... do you prefer that poor people have their kids seized and put in permanent foster care...
Make up your mind...
What is it your are trying to say..
Many people in Canada believe the right to have kids is a basic human right.... not for the state to decide....

That's all I was saying...
I'm not going to stop them from having kids, and I'm not going to suggest they should be sterilized and I'm probably not going to do any of the other crazy ideas you can come up with to accuse me of wanting to do to them... I'm very happy with them being free to make life decisions that have consequences... that's what I like about living in a free society... I just don't want to have to pay for the consequences if they are the ones making a free life choice

Yes, of course there is something wrong.
Have you driven around Vancouver / lower mainland lately.... ? Have you seen all the people hurting - homeless or on the edge of becoming homeless.
Damm right something is wrong....
Homeless people definitely shouldn't be having kids

Most of us pay taxes, i was asking if you are ready to pay way more to help others?
I think there's something wrong if the only way his neighbors can afford to feed their kids is if you pay taxes

The photo ops are targeted at the Canadian South Asian electorate. The Liberals and Trudeau are immensely popular with the East Indian community and the Liberals are consolidating their hold on them. In the last election, the Liberals swept all of the Surrey Ridings and the South Vancouver riding with its large South Asian community. Just look at the number of East Indian cabinet ministers and the Defense minister. The Liberal awarded their supporters very well.
Translation: It's ok to do it for votes, but not to have fun and drink with your buddies on a holiday dedicated to dressing up

There are some picture of Trudeau, dressed in foreign attire, that might cause some to die from laughter, no?
Maybe, but the world probably wouldn't miss that person so meh

Churchill also made many mistakes, some of which resulted in the deaths of many people, great leader but nowhere near perfect.
Yeah, Trudeau hasn't gotten anyone killed yet.... so, he must be a better leader ?

The election of Trudeau pushed me down the road of political awareness. I never took the time to consider Canadian politics, and I definitely was not informed. I took everything I read in the newspaper at face value, and I was too ignorant to even notice that different publications have different biases and agendas.
Now that I am aware, I have to say that I am more depressed about Canadian politics. There's Prince Justin, ready to mindlessly spout politically correct buzzwords about diversity and feminism. He loves shallow gestures of tokenism like wearing ethnic garb and visiting mosques. Yet I don't hear him talk about election reform, or how he intends to keep Canada competitive when the USA is cutting taxes and deregulating to attract business. These are real issues, but those take work to solve, and its far easier to just stick to skin deep social issues and solve nothing.
The NDP socialists are potentially even worse than Prince Justin ( if thats even possible) and even the so-called Conservative party would stoop to Justin's level of tokenism, identity politics and other stupid divisive nonsense if they could get a victory as a result.
I have the feeling that most people were just like I was, they are too busy with their lives to dig into the meat of Canadian politics, it's not on their radar, and I can understand that. I guess I fear that things will have to get really bad here before any real change will happen, and I do believe that terrible things are on the horizon.
I read a lot about Winston Churchill and his various writings and speeches, and if you contrast someone like him against a Justin Trudeau, there is no comparison. I feel that Canadians deserve a leader with real ideas, not just politically popular rhetoric and empty platitudes. Even a dog would be an improvement, dogs at least know to bark at the enemy instead of giving them ten million dollars.
Check out the book "Against the Current" by Pierre Trudeau... it's a great read

The real irony here is a lot of the people doing the bashing are the same people whining in the Trump thread about people criticizing "every little thing" that Trump does.
Whats it like not living in reality ?

You won’t have to worry about Halloween.
In few years every costume will be offensive, so people won’t dress up anymore.
There's going to be a lot of secretly jealous people at my halloween party

I think they refer to it, as cultural appropriation nowadays.
Yeah well I think it's stupid when the SJW's whine about it during Halloween as well

I wonder if JT goes to South Africa, will he have the hutzpah to dress as a Zulu warrior.
Why is experiencing other cultures a bad thing?

The whole thing p*sses me off, frankly. Anyone under (perhaps 35?) has grown up in a world almost on par with Winston Smith's.
The masses are distracted by trivial BS, spied upon, & lied to by a MSM dressed up like cheap wh*res.
I don't think many realize the holy-shyte(!),swiss cheese bedrock our whole system rests upon. Almost 50 myself..& I feel pretty bad for any/everyone under 30. It's hard for them to clearly see/understand what we've squandered.
You sound like my grandfather talking about my parents generation 30 years ago....
