    The Canadian liberal government has announced the compensation payable to gun owners who turn in guns. This is a part of the Government ban on AR-15s and other "assault weapons". Over 2400 variants and models are a part of the plan. A run of the mill AR-15 $1337 Cdn ($1042 USD) to $6209 ($4838USD) for a Swiss arms SG550. Ar-15s start at about $500 cdn for a Walmart version. Up to $2000 for a Daniel Defense (Uvalde shooter)

    Seated in the leather clad sofas of book lined law offices. Conservative lawyers toast each other with the finest 40 year old bourbon. They had four years of trump. The biggest stimulus program since the invention of the Model T. Now with the new court tilted in their favor. With liberals properly riled up and rich with government subsidies. They plan new actions because republicans will take midterms. Lady Justice is blindfolded so her purse and the public purse is open for pillaging.

    So insider trading is illegal. Why has an investigation into Nancy Pelosi's husband not been started? Surely democrats have some sense of integrity? This conduct is expected of republicans But...

    The US right and trump love Orban, he is a Putin ally and he is up to his usual. "The International Auschwitz Committee of Holocaust survivors called the speech "stupid and dangerous". Mr Orban's spokesman said the media had misrepresented the comments. The speech took place on Saturday in a region of Romania which has a large Hungarian community. In it, Mr Orban said European peoples should be free to mix with one another, but that mixing with non-Europeans created a "mixed-race world". During his speech, the Hungarian leader also appeared to make light of the Nazi gas chambers in World War Two when he criticised the EU's plan to cut gas demand by 15% by pointing out that "the past shows us German know-how on that". "We are willing to mix with one another, but we do not want to become peoples of mixed race," he said."

    IMO recessions are necessary. The US FED, the EU central bank and other national money supply engineers. Believe that they are so smart they can relegate recessions to history. Recessions eliminate the excesses of markets. They force discipline for governments, lenders and business. They force governments, business and individuals to live within their means. Prior to the last recession QE was a unknown money supply management technique. But now the US FED has pumped $5 trillion into the economy since the last recession. Then the US debt has added another five trillion in the last five years and ten since the last recession. Guesstimates here as I'm too lazy to look up the figures again. The covid recession of shrinking GDP was tempered to the largest extent by collective government spending. If you want a deal on a airplane,equities,boats, real estate, collectable cars, art, etc. A good recession is to be relished.

    You have to admit they have a successful operation. Every election cycle where republicans are in power. Taxes are reduced. The rich get richer and the poor poorer. Deficits increase, programs get cut and blame get stuck to democrats.Labeling democrats as elitist. Having a national propaganda media network like FOX. Has created more billionaires in America than any other program or political system. Democrats just refuse to recognize whats successful. CNN needs to throw out the ideas that news needs any basis in fact. Between 2014 and 2018 the richest 25 Americans paid a net tax rate of 3.4%. While their net worth went up $385 billion. Yet republicans have branded themselves as the party of the poor working stiff.

    So republicans reference Orwell when they wish to implement a dystopian government with theology as its base? Got it.

    Peak oil? Brent forgets that Iranian oil is off international markets due to embargo. That Libyan oil is off the markets due to civil war. Venezuelan oil is off the markets due to corruption and under-investment.Iraqi oil only at partial capacity. Russian oil temporarily/partially embargoed. If all these players were in the markets at full capacity. Oil would likely be $25 a bbl. Oh! and US oil producers would be wining and dining republican senators for more subsidies. Here is the latest GOP conspiracy theory/joke. "Nancy Pelosi wants to go to Taiwan to check on her investments.Joe Biden doesn't want her to go because Hunter Biden has Chinese investments."

    and "The Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956, also known as the National Interstate and Defense Highways Act, Pub.L. 84–627 was enacted on June 29, 1956, when President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the bill into law. With an original authorization of $25 billion for the construction of 41,000 miles (66,000 km) of the Interstate Highway System over a 10-year period, it was the largest public works project in American history through that time" Brent likes to be convenient when he "forgets" anything that the government does. Like sign his pension cheques every two weeks. That why trump's latest promise when he is re-elected rings so many bells. Trump lays out plan to fire civil servants and replace them with loyalists

    Gunmakers made $1 billion selling AR-15s to civilians, study finds You have a herd of friends, they have money and the law behind them. "While gun manufacturers are profiting from the increasing popularity of AR-15 firearms, gunfire victims and their families are confronted with the equivalent in hospital bills. A separate report released last week by the U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee found gun violence victims and their families pay more than $1 billion a year in medical costs." I don't think you're a read neck though.

    Don't confuse him. People outside the US are blank slates for republicans. Just list Orban's policies in order to solicit his approving nod.

    “The decision to leave the station after 2024 has been made,” said Yuri Borisov, who was appointed this month to run Roscosmos, a state-controlled corporation in charge of the country’s space program. The pronouncement came during a meeting between Mr. Borisov and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Mr. Borisov told Mr. Putin that Russia would fulfill its commitments through 2024. “I think that by this time we will begin to form the Russian orbital station,” he said." Two weeks ago "NASA, Russian space agency sign deal to share space station flights" Likely just Putin bluster. I'd say good riddance. Perhaps China will let cosmonauts visit their station.

    More like if you're a "convicted felon". You can be considered a "varmint" so shooting them is like shooting wild pigs. Or a trespasser in your neighborhood who doesn't look like the other residents. If you can use helicopters with belt-fed weapons to deal with convicted felons all the better. Listen, Brent made the mistake of thinking this is a gun forum. Where any excuse to use a gun to kill a felon is humorous.

    In his defense. A month with nothing but Truth Social, FOX, Hannity, etc. Stuffing the mind with B.S. like a teenager on a Doritos binge.

    Average price Canada in USD for US gallon $5.97 Canada exports about 6.7 million barrels a day. About 1/2 to the US. The worldwide wholesale price of gas is $3.26 a gallon. China $5.28 a gallon, Russia $3.22 both USD per US gallon Of all the countries listed above and in Joe's lists. Only Canada and Norway are oil exporters with retail gas prices above wholesale For conservatives who have a difficult time understanding. Most countries tax gas to encourage conservation, protect the environment and use the proceeds to fund social programs.

    If that was true why does the GOP object to citizenship for the dreamers? Brent. a dreamer that already has citizenship.So why do you object to other dreamers getting citizenship?
  18. Phil1111
    Do you think that subtle is a functioning concept when debating Brent?
  19. Phil1111
    Lying? "TODAY: Three fifths of all Latinos believe that the republican party is comprised of racists. Ninety percent believe that dreamers should get citizenship. Two thirds oppose the border wall. Three fifths believe is stricter gun laws. Two thirds believe that abortion should be legal in most situations." All current polling. There is no way that anyone who objects to the central racist policies of republicans. Will enter a polling booth and vote for them. Your WP is wrong and so are you.
  20. Phil1111
    "Open border policy backfires as Hispanics move to the Right" Why are you Always wrong? TODAY: Three fifths of all Latinos believe that the republican party is comprised of racists. Ninety percent believe that dreamers should get citizenship. Two thirds oppose the border wall. Three fifths believe is stricter gun laws. Two thirds believe that abortion should be legal in most situations. SC should have an award for the most dedicated FOX loving poster I nominate you.

    Coming soon in California. "Bill 1327 aims to bury those who deal in banned guns in litigation. Awards of at least $10,000 per weapon, and legal fees, will be offered to plaintiffs who successfully sue anyone who imports, distributes, manufactures or sells assault-style weapons, .50-caliber rifles, guns without serial numbers or parts that can be used to build firearms that are banned in California."

    trump and his media empire have fallen upon losing times. Downloads for truth social are losing steam. From a prior high of 2.6 million a week its now only 70k. While he has stepped down from the board of his own company trump media. "Former President Donald Trump has left the board of Trump Media and Technology Group, his social media company that is being investigated by the SEC and a grand jury in Manhattan. In a June 8 filing with Florida's Department of State's Divisions of Corporations, the company dislosed that Donald Trump departed from his chairman of the board role along with other board members Donald Trump Jr., Kayshap Patel, Scott Glabe, Wes Moss, and Andrew Northwall. These exits from the board occurred just three weeks before Trump Media and Technology Group was served subpoenas from the SEC and a federal grand jury."
