RE:Windfall taxesWe cringe at other countries like China and Russia and North Korea and yet our present government is slowly and stealithly getting there. Bring in 500,000 immigrants per year and hand them massive cheques when they arrive and tell them " dont forget to vote for the government that helped you out " They get just enough votes to stay in power. Smart conniving sociopaths , just like Putin and Xi. They don't credit WCP for their co2 sequestration because that would give the appearance they are helping the industry. I am angry but also know this will continue. The woke idiots in my district will always vote Left not because they particularly like them but are extremely fearful of the other option which the media has brainwashed us as Trumpian . Retaining anger is like taking poison and hoping your enemy dies. I will play the game with whatever cards are dealt .

Nowhere is that same mindset more prevalent than in Canada at present.
Amongst many examples , one that is becoming increasingly persistent is Liberal party censorship and suppression of dissenting opinions. This is now happening on Stockhouse and no one is more aware of that than yours truly. One particular poster here will argue that he has the right to censor me. He does not (nor to censor anyone else for that matter). To cede that right to him is to cede our fundamental values.
It is only those values that elevate mankind above the baseness of the present day autocrats.
I no longer have any ilusions, this post will undoubtedly be taken down as being off topic
You be the judge !!
