That has not been the point of my original response to the poster who was criticising the government's response to this crisis, and it has never been my point with responding to you. The fact of the matter is you jumped to a conclusion after you erroneously interpreted my post. Enjoy your day, Jimmy, maybe next time refrain from shoulding all over other people without seeking to understand. your comment about Canadian leadership was pretty clear, but sure have a nice day too. Maybe you can do some reading on different types of leadership before making blanket comments about it, or consider how our industries represent us in to world too. Food for thought.

Now you're tripling down on your misunderstanding of what I was saying. Yeesh. You know, a little humility when in error goes a long way. You misunderstand and ask for clarification, I clarify, you say, "Oh, ok, I misunderstood. My bad." Not continue to misrepresent the other person over and over. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Templeton Peck Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 1 hour ago, Canuckster86 said: can you stop certain people from posting in this thread or is a ban stop a poster from all site activities? What about making a 2nd Covid thread dedicated to the conspiracy people or blame this country or that leader thread? It stops them from posting on the site altogether. We wouldn't really want a thread dedicated to just conspiracy theories and blame, as that's not productive and does more harm than good. It's fine to be critical in this thread, but keeping it reality based and having some sort of reasoning behind it helps. Also, there is an existing Trump thread for all the rest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The level of stupidity and willingness to believe the most ignorant and laughably false news and conspiracy theories is so prominent I would be quickly banned from various sites/pages for calling peoples intelligent in to question using "the fun words" My favourite right now is a video of a "dr" claiming it is all a hoax. Until you research it and find out he is using a fake name and discover he's a chiropractor. Point that out to people though and damn, it's like kicking a hornets nest You might enjoy this article: https://forge.medium.com/prepare-for-the-ultimate-gaslighting-6a8ce3f0a0e0 Prepare for the Ultimate Gaslighting* You are not crazy, my friends 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone knows it's what they're paid to do. I think it's more along the lines of "back to business" or "business as usual". It would be surprising if they didn't try to capitalize on it.

bree2 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 my sister reminded me when I was a baby, , I was the 7th child. many years ago my mom got polio and had it for 3 years, 2 years in hospital, the rest of the family were quarantined, I was only about 2 months old, the rest of the kids had to watch while the neighborhood kids played outside. so what I am saying is today we have facebook, phones , twitter and facetime family and friends. there was nothing back then, not even tv. so I think that we are kind of lucky today that we are able to keep in touch with loved ones. remember we are all in this together. take care everyone! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember an Arizona gas station attendant who was murdered by a “patriot” thinking he was a Muslim shortly after 9/11 (victim was a Sikh). edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Balbir_Singh_Sodhi Yeah, lot of Sikhs have been killed and attacked since 2001, because turban equals Muslim. There was that white supremacist that killed 7 Sikhs In Wisconsin temple also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and I have a different idea of what "fun" is. We're talking about a guy who tried to stop the sale of much needed PPE to Canada.....who declared our country a threat to National Security, so he could ignore a free trade agreement made in good faith and impose tariffs on Canadian steel and Aluminum.....who's assassination of an Iranian general led to deaths of dozens of Canadians....who is a denier of anthropogenic Climate Change....in short, an existential threat and not just to Americans.... Yeah...."fun".... 1 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've even clarified for you multiple times what I was referring to be leading, yet you continue to say the same thing over and over. I don't ever feel a need to be right, but I don't take it lightly when someone misrepresents something I've said, especially after clarifying so many times. What you're doing is the epitome of bad faith discussion. I hope others are reading this and can see engaging with you is pointless. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
