No, not the 51st state! Each province needs to be its own state. That would mean 10 new stars on our flag!

He's a member of the WEF, a globalist, a Nut Zero cultist and an Islam-is-a-religion-of-peace misinformationist. His son is out of the same mould.

Yep that's why Harry got out. Now they are making him out to be the ogre. Honestly I don't believe all the BS going on about him, and in fact I have more respect for him than all the blood sucking royals. The best was killed off, because she would never allowed both her boys to be brainwashed by that old fart that calls himself a king. (he's no friggin' king of mine). We might be a commonwealth but that only in name only.

We are already in the days of the end where the destroyer is due any day. William will be the next King - and watch him throw out all those who do not obey him or ass kiss!

As a Canadian born legal immigrant American citizen, I arrived here an indoctrinated socialist. The worst thing about that was that I had no idea I was. It was a tough lesson to learn, that I had been duped by my Borg-like government, believing in socialistic tendencies as the only way to live. So many others, millions of them, would overwhelm our capitalist, Constitutional Republic and bring the Democrats more votes than the illegals they were bringing in for that purpose. I say, HELL NO!

Another is MAID Medical Assistance in Dying, Canada has reportedly aggressively pushed even for people with mild disabilities or depression. Doctors and nurses encourage suicide over treatment in some reports, perhaps to alleviate the stresses in the healthcare system along with costs. The law is supposed to come with protections so these abuses do not occur, but there are reports about this in personal testimonies by Canadians offered MAID instead of treatment or social services, or even just adding a wheelchair ramp for one woman to get in/out of her house. THIS IS INTENTIONAL KILLING OF ADULT HUMAN BEINGS.

Some argue MAID ends the suffering of those with severe pain, or allows an end to a life with a mind gone no ability to recognize even their own children.

The healthcare systems are also completely incompatible and MAID, or Abortion at any point in pregnancy, defy God’s laws.

Leave God out of your arguments it turns many away from the point your trying to make, the point is human lives have value and they shouldn’t be taken away from anyone by any government for superficial reasons like mobility ramps for a wheel chair bound person whose otherwise perfectly normal human being and a functioning member of society same with some many others the government wants to end their lives just to balance their budgets?

So now instead of protesting the death penalty of inmates that have murder many of any human being(s) we (our Governments) are now wanting to kill innocent civilians including children over made up causes like helping them how is killing them helping them has research on what can be done to help them we are jumping ahead to get rid of them with excuses like we don’t have it our budget for research (but we do to fight wars) but to help people in need the country is out of money?

The majority (perhaps 90%) of Canadians are not interested in becoming a 51st state of the US even before Trump threatened it which didn't win him any new Northern friends. Canadians are a demoralized country after a federal government at least as bad as that of Obama / Biden for the last decade. It is a confederation of provinces that have unequal status that has allowed Quebec politics to dominate the federal government. BC is almost a political clone of Washington state with a "left coast" and conservative interior (I've lived in both), while Alberta and Saskatchewan could seamlessly fit in with the US heartland (if they wanted to). Quebec considers the rest of Canadians that subsidize it as no different than Americans. Believe me, you don't want them anymore than we do. Kemper is correct that the polls up until recently have shown that Conservatives are favored in a an upcoming election. Thanks to Trump's threats, a renewed nationalism has emerged and the left, led by a corrupt and subsidized dying media has rallied behind the leadership campaign of Mark Carney, an arrogant globalist and former central bank governor and climate huckster set to replace Trudeau as PM. I doubt that he will succeed in a federal election which will see a Conservative government after a decade of misery.

Please NO. We already have far too much centralization. I am all in favor of Canadian independence and provinces acting in their own self interest. I am all in favor of the US being broken into self governing blocks(beginning with Texit of course). Hundreds of millions of people with drastically different worldviews cannot be governed together like they are monolithic.

Someone, ANYONE, please tell me why nobody is talking about Gabbard and her historical position against the 2A? She did an interview with NPR, but nobody seems to care? Dont think she has changed because she doesnt speak of it. As the Bible says "you cant change a leopards spots nor the Ethiopian their color." I just wish someone would have the courage to start the conversation. she has flip flopped. Thus, this is an integrity issue.

I sincerely doubt that Tulsi, a high level military officer, would oppose the 2nd Amendment Right to Bear Arms. If on the internet in a legit interview, this would have come out in the Congressional hearings and MAGA would have exploded!

Please share which NPR interview.

Ari Daniels's avatar

Let us begin with the PBS where they wrote; "Guns: Ban assault weapons and require universal background checks. In Congress, Gabbard has co-sponsored bills that would ban assault weapons and require background checks for all gun purchases, including closing what is known as the “gun-show loophole.” https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/what-does-rep-tulsi-gabbard-believe-where-the-candidate-stands-on-7-issues

When she did the interview with NPR, she did the traditional Democrat "speak with fork tongue". She said I support the 2nd A, but then followed it up with "but".

(Question )[00:42:56] Do you believe that some kind of federal change to gun legislation would help solve the problem of these mass shootings, like for example should assault weapons like the AR 15 be banned?

(Answer)[00:43:09] I think that there is federal legislation that we need to pass to increase our gun safety laws. We have to uphold the Second Amendment of our Constitution and people's right to bear arms. But we also must make sure that we have sensible safety regulations in place to try to prevent those who have no business owning a gun because they may use it to seek to do harm to others from doing so. The House of Representatives recently passed legislation making universal background checks mandatory. This is a bill that we hope gets through the Senate. https://www.nhpr.org/the-exchange/2019-03-21/2020-candidate-conversation-u-s-rep-tulsi-gabbard

Therefore, I believe she lied in the interview with the Rubin Report where she answered in the 40 second mark; "I have always supported the Second Amendment and the right to bear arms...." She didnt say a word about her position AGAINST This can be watched in the YT video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T554Gt0iL5k&t=47s

You cant say in one sentence you have always supported and then in another sentence she has made a change in her views. Seconds later she says; "What I will say has changed is..." Changed from What and to To? If she had to inform her judgment, what was informed if she has "always supported the Second Amendment and the right to bear arms"? In minute 1:40 she again says "the thing that has changed for me...."

Historically, she received a blessing from Brady. Vote Smart recorded her with a 100% endorsement with the "Brady Campaign to prevent gun violence" https://justfacts.votesmart.org/candidate/evaluations/129306/tulsi-gabbard#.XWbBx5NKgWo

This is in contrast to the NRA giving her an "F" rating.

"On The Issues" also records her record for people to consider at https://www.ontheissues.org/2020/Tulsi_Gabbard_Gun_Control.htm

They also record; the flip flop in terms of time, progressively;

-I support our Second Amendment rights. (Jun 2019)

-Ban assault weapons; require universal background checks. (Jan 2019)

-Advocate for sensible gun control. (Nov 2016)

-Require background check for every firearm sale and transfer. (Jan 2019)

USA Today has picked up on this flip flop in their article; Guns

During her time in Congress and throughout her 2020 presidential campaign, Gabbard supported a ban on common rifle weapons and advocated for universal background checks. She received an F rating from the NRA, a 0% rating from the Hawaii Rifle Association, and a 100% rating from the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence......

Since retiring from Congress in 2021, Gabbard's positions on gun control and gun owners' rights have undergone major changes. Gabbard notably supported the Supreme Court's ruling in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen, affirming the Second Amendment right to carry a handgun for self-defense outside the home.

How did "Change" happen with Obama?

In a podcast posted to her YouTube channel last month, Gabbard acknowledged that she no longer supported restrictive gun control measures, such as an assault weapons ban.

“My views on, you know, things like the assault weapons ban have changed out of that learning, understanding, and that growth in really appreciating our founders' full intent for the Second Amendment,” Gabbard said." https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/06/19/tulsi-gabbard-trump-vp-secretary-policy/73968445007/

Heritage Action For America gave her a thumbs down where they wrote; 02/27/2019

The House voted on H.R. 8, the Bipartisan Background Checks Act introduced by Rep. Mike Thompson (D-Ca). This legislation would require universal background checks for all firearm sales (even private) with specific exceptions. Unfortunately, universal background checks would do little to prevent firearm violence and would instead make it more difficult for law-abiding citizens to purchase, own, carry, and use a firearm.

Gabbard Voted "YES" for this bill. https://heritageaction.com/scorecard/members/G000571/116

Also important to mention is the unspoken support given toward gun laws. The HuffPost was a bit perturbed when Gabbard didnt sign on to Federal gun control legislation. "Back in the House, a bill that would achieve an equivalent objective (H.R. 1076) was introduced on February 25, 2015 by Republican Congressman Peter King to prohibit “the sale or distribution of firearms or explosives to any individual whom the Attorney General has determined to be engaged in terrorist activities.” H.R. 1076 has been co-sponsored by 107 Democrats (9 signed on following the Orlando shooting). Tulsi Gabbard is not among the co-sponsors."

When one has an agenda they are working toward, it is best to keep signatures off the documents, but she showed her support standing next to Eric Swalwell, nonetheless, to give pictorial support. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/the-11-gun-bills-tulsi-gabbard-wont-supportwhile_b_57635ad1e4b0092652d744e9

Ill conclude with this paragraph that reads; '“Like a lot of what Tulsi does, I sometimes find her actions inexplicable,” said Colin Moore, associate professor of political science at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. He said Gabbard’s gun record doesn’t have any discernable pattern." https://www.civilbeat.org/2018/03/tulsi-gabbards-record-on-gun-control-is-a-moving-target/

When a person has "conviction" they are either all in or all out, but walking a middleground tells us she doesnt have conviction, but agenda.

When all people realise they are sheep lead through the 1. race to the slaughterhouse, we will be more wiser. Judge/weigh up all. Think 2. backwards on all things. Only then will the real truth be shown.

I could go on with all that's happening but it would take too many "reply posts".

1. A race is a narrow corridor that sheep can only go through in single file, and as they are a follower of whomsoever is in front - they just keep on going.

2. Backwards - Slaughter of chickens, cows etc. Some are genuinely killed but many are going to the meat stocks for the Super Elite and the Elite, to keep them fed during the long war coming. While they get us to eat bugs.

Think backwards....we eat bugs, less insects, no food for birds and other wildlife that eat these, those wildlife die from starvation. Not to mention they pollinate some of our food, we starve!

Wake up and work backwards on everything and you will get to the real truth behind all this surface BS. We, only with the help of those with knowledge have recently discovered the C-19 was to wipe the human race off the planet and in the interim be used as satellites for Internet/communication. That's working backwards to get to the real truth.

While I agree growth and learning CAN be inevitable with many, but that does not necessarily mean it happens with ALL people. Worldviews fall under two categories; Godly and ungodly. And what we generally find with most people (especially in politics) is religion bridging the two worldviews. Which I would say is an illegitimate contamination.

I would agree worldviews can grow and change in their respected venues.. “There is none righteous, no not one. There is none who do good...” That is the baseline for all. If a worldview “grows” in their particular venue, it remains in that venue. A secular worldview change is still an ungodly “secular” worldview change.

One does not grow/change partially in one and remain in the other. You cannot have a foothold in both worlds. You cannot have both worldviews. There is no partially secular and partially godly change. There is no partially secular change and a partially godly change. This established worldview was so much their constant practice that it has become a second nature to them.

One does NOT cross from a worldly worldview to a Godly worldview unless God intervenes. Nevertheless, I would argue a worldview toward a positive outcome can only happen by God's help. And the only way one can know this conversion is real is by fruit. That requires both doctrinal fruit as well as behavioral fruit; in that order.

The changes with Gabbard are certainly nowhere connected to God. They are worldly changes done in a worldly format from a worldly worldview. In other words, they may be “positive” but they are not necessarily positive. It is similar to the man named Alan Dershowitz. He has made it his life occupation to go after conservatism. But like Gabbard, he had an epiphany and is now on the Fox news chumming it up with folks he never used to hang out with. It doesn’t work like that. But it is all in the name of politics.

As the rhetorical question is stated by the prophet Jeremiah; Jeremiah13:23 "Can an Ethiopian change his skin, or a leopard his spots?" The one thing is as impossible as the other. The spots are natural to the creature. 'A worldview is second nature; as therefore it is morally impossible that the politician can alter their inveterate habits of sin and greed.' Working against conservatism has been her life’s occupation.

While it is true that the "truth will set you free" it is not a truth that many can appreciate nor embrace. They like the lies, they want the lies, they can’t live without the lies and thus, they will die by the lies.

So here we have an argument for Gabbard making a change. Her worldview once dictated "gun licensing good, limiting guns good, assault weapons ban good, etc etc etc. " But now, 2ndA good and tough Restrictions, bad.

It was her “eye on the prize” that moved her strategy in a different direction. And it caused her to make some changes in her approach, and her apologetic, without changing her worldview. Her worldview remains in the secular, but she wants you to think her changes have moved to the Godly. As I said above, this cannot happen. Like most all politicians, they are opportunists, and therefore, are always looking at their resume in order to become a part of "king of the hill”. As I said, you will know them by their fruit. You will know them by their spots. But many are fooled when a politician tries to paint over the spots. This will work for a time, but the spots will reappear in time. Because they are their worldview.

All-year summer camps. With free prescription drugs, Arts And Crafts, Vocational Therapy, pancakes, Etiquette Training, plus more.

We do not want Eastern Canada to become part of the deal. They are the leftists that keep Trudeau in office. Those provinces draw taxes from western provinces in “equalization”. They are not economically self sufficient. Plus, we would have to own all of the cultural and legal concessions made to the French-speaking Quebequois and their ongoing headaches. Give us Alberta, B. C., Saskatchewan, and maybe Ontario (only if there is a plebiscite that is overwhelmingly pro-conservative.). The rest of Canada can apply for statehood after they have suffered the privations and despair the U. S. has suffered over the past four years under Biden (with Obama “in the basement.”) Only then will they appreciate the importance of what Donald J. Trump is restoring to America.
