Canada General Discussion (2019-)

Lmao

My reaction when Atlas is silent on this.

There are two other Threads about this where it is being thoroughly discussed. I suggest you look there instead of reaching premature conclusions that confirm your political biases.

where?  In an "elections" board?  Many people avoid those cesspools.


Conservative Facebook is having a field day with this.  As is to be expected since it's freaking hilarious.  You know, like when a conservative gay hater gets caught with a dick in his butt.

The pipeline was approved by all the elected tribal leaders on the path of the pipeline.  The un-elected "hereditary" chiefs are the ones leading the push to make sure the safest way to move one of the cleaner sources of energy is way more expensive than it needs to be and takes longer to get done and harming all Canadians (poor more than the rich too) in the process.  You'd think people would be on the side of the elected leaders and not some random dude who claims his great grandaddy was, but here we are.  You'd think they'd want energy companies to use the safest way to move the energy around too, but people are weird sometimes.

Are the elected leaders disguating corrupt garbage, or do they actually represent the interests of their constituents? I genuinely don't know, but it's a huge question IMO.

I agree and I have no idea.

Example A of how gun control does not stop mass killings. 

Homocides in America per 100,000 people with guns: 4.46(1)
Homocides in Canada per 100,000 people with guns: 0.52(2)

even if gun deaths aren't counted America still has a higher homicide rate than Canada and, as you said, Canada has a lot of guns too.  That leads me to an obvious conclusion, I suspect you'll come to a different one.
