    you mean. We need a law against members of congress and their immediate family members trading whatsoever, because the nature of their job automatically makes them "insiders." They'll always know things that we don't, and it's not fair at all.

    I'd extend that to all branches of federal government. If you're in a position to influence law or policy, you have both insider AND advance knowledge of market events.

    This is already supposed to be illegal.

    The problem is enforcement. There are necessary rules surrounding criminal punishment against a SITTING member of Congress.

    Ex: You can't trump a charge against your opponent and have him thrown in jail so that he can't cast his vote for/against a bill.

    IHMO: I think that some people have figured out ways to leverage these rules for sitting members in order to get away with things that the rest of us would have been thrown in prison for.

    I'm not sure what to say... Maybe all our liberal friends have just moved over to Tik Tok twerking in front of their iPhones to make enough to buy more blue hair dye.

    The difference between eastern and western Canada is night and day. The east they love to vote people in like Justin Trudeau... The west are conservatives who work 12 hour days.

    I am a citizen of both countries and I'm lucky to be out out in western Canada and lucky to call Florida as my home State.

    Apparently its looking like a possibility. The Premier (Governor) of Alberta is smart... She Plays like Trump... There were some rules about extending the Keystone Pipeline that would have gave her grief... She noted that she needed consent to continue from the Feds is she used their money...

    States, in general, are tired of their big cities basically deciding what the rest of the state will do.

    IHMO: We need a "Electoral College" in the states for state-wide elections (ex: Governor). Each county gets 1 vote. That will stop the big cities from deciding for everyone in the state.

    Remeber seeing the "Republican vs. Democrat" map by county? There were no Red states. There was lots of red with a few Blue cities.

    Leftoids tend to be loud and post a lot - mostly because they don't have jobs and live in their mom's basement. So you tend to see more from them.

    AI can go F**k itself.

    That vote on the 15th was to gain the signatures needed to hold a vote to gain independence... The vote to come in simple majority to become independent.

    Its funny... There is a Province in the country, they speak French, and there were laws added in to make them happy. Every so often they want to leave the country. So language was added if they wanted to do so.

    Canada bribes them to stay by giving them BILLIONS in payments from Alberta's Oil And Gas industry... and that Province does everything it can to block Alberta from making the money... Kinda ironic.

    Well, Danielle looked at the law and said... Okay, we'll do that and the Liberals' hair is on FIRE... Canada in their wisdom made it easy for said Province to leave that it made it easy for others to leave as well.

    It sounds like it might happen. Carney stuck a deal with China. Trump's effort top keep China out of the West just got a huge wrinkle.

    Carney was on TV and called it THE...NEW...WORLD...ORDER... Whatever

    This came a day after the Alberta vote. I don't know if there is a connection.

    No investment money coming into Canada and everyone's leaving.

    Great news though. Unlike the US where elections happen on a schedule Canada has the potential to call a early election when the government is a minority such as it is now.

    I'm not sure... The ruling the other day where the Supreme Court said people who are/were running have standing to challenge things.

    Recall every time Trump tried to look at challenges the courts said he didn't have standing.

    So if there is one of those cases where more people voted than actually live in the county... Kicking people out of the counting area and then pulling boxes of hidden ballots out to count. Recounting bundles of ballots... Counting non-folded mail in ballots... The list goes on and on.

    What do you mean by a minority? I don't understand; aren't the Liberal Party the majority?
    In a parlimentary system you need a number of seats to form a government. If you have less than required to form a government you need to have another party to team up with you. So in Canada, the Liberal Party teams up with the NDP. But in this term of the government, the NDP does not really want to be active colliation partners. 172 seats is required for a majority. They only have 170.
    So the Liberal Party is running under a minority government right now.

    I'm not sure... The ruling the other day where the Supreme Court said people who are/were running have standing to challenge things.

    But the Left will use their standard stalling tactics to push things until AFTER the election. Then they'll manufacture another "crisis" to make people forget things.

    We need the people involved in the last fraudulent election to be in prison NOW so that they can't do it again.

    So if there is one of those cases where more people voted than actually live in the county... Kicking people out of the counting area and then pulling boxes of hidden ballots out to count. Recounting bundles of ballots... Counting non-folded mail in ballots... The list goes on and
    on.

    Yes, which is how we all know that the elections were fraudulent.

    Now the courts can't dodge making a decision on this and they'll have
    to deal with it.

    I'm sure they will find an excuse to avoid it.

    If a case like that comes before a judge, he's screwed. Remember the Judge in "Miracle on 42nd Street" presiding in the Santa Clause case?

    Ron, I think this election will be better.

    Canadian AI says that Canada is in the 11th year of becoming Venezuela. I did finally try to cast my signature for Alberta's independence... The lineup was about 2 miles long.

    I think they have the required signatures for the vote.

    I think Carney sealed the deal when he got into bed with Chi-Na.

    Ottawa is going to miss Alberta's tax money and revenue to count towards their GDP.


    What do you mean by a minority? I don't understand; aren't the Liberal Party the majority?


    No, There are more than 2 parties in Canada, there maybe 2 main parties (Conservative and Liberal) but we have others like the NDP, Green and the Block.

    The Liberals the most seats than any of the other single party. But the other PARTIES added together have more than the Liberals.

    Though the Liberals are in power, because as a party they hold the most seats they are considered a minority Government because the opposing parties have more seats than the Liberals.

    When that occurs the minority parties can get together (Team up) and call an early election.

    Like in the last Trudeau government, it was a minority government but the NDP party said they'd vote with them (The Liberals) until the country was destroyed. They almost did it...

    The Liberal government in Canada may need an other year or so before they destroy it.

    Mark Carney struck some kind of a deal with China the other day. While he was talking about the deal on TV he talked about the New World Order and then a day latter threaten Trump with the Canadian Military if Trump keeps pushing Greenland.

    Recall back where we all were in the Desert Storm conflict... Canada had to bum a ride to the middle east to help fight that fight.

    And he threatens Trump.

    Racial relations seemed fine in NY when I left in 2001. But when I returned in 2016 things were different. I blame Andrew Cuomo more than I blame Obama though.

    I don't know what things are like in your state, I haven't been there since 1989, but I can imagine how Obama muddied things up. He's insulted white people (his own people) many times, he's insulted disabled people, and then
    if that wasn't bad enough, his wife had to open her mouth too (several times!)

    I have a stepson. he was never an academic at all. I had a talk with him before he turned 18 and told him he needs to either go to school or get a career... I said welding is a great paying job... I bought him a one way ticket to Ft. McMurray, the heart of the oil sands project, he protested that the ticket was only one way... I said you'll figure it out.

    Mike Rowe, of Dirty Jobs fame, is pushing for that. I'm pushing for that too.

    Even back in high school, I knew that some people just weren't cut out for academics. But we need
    welders, plumbers, electricians, mechanics, etc. and many of those people who weren't academics did
    really well in those areas.

    But the Left, through the Media, always portrayed those people as "dumb", even though they usually did
    (financially) better.

    I mentioned earlier about the Stepson...All parents should gear their conversations with their kids that way.

    Be all you can be... Contribute to society don't take away from it. I chose academia, my choice, I put myself through University. I worked 2 jobs and paid for school as I went through it. No government hand outs no public assistance. I even bought a house while I was a student. I graduated with 0 debt and a house.
