I think he knows that the group thats pushing back the hardest is the LGBT community because he’s not a supporter. And therefore his contrasting example is very applicable.

Its kinda funny that he’s labelled almost exclusively as “MAGA” by the press when he’s here to do worship services. I dont believe anything he did in his first concert had anything to do with politics, it was worship music. Its not like the press wants to stir the pot by emphasizing the MAGA thing /s

If they hadnt made a big deal out of it, this guy would’ve gone across Canada and nobody would’ve noticed except a small group of Christians. Now he’s had international press and more publicity than he could ever afford to buy. Whether that was intentional or not, its brilliant marketing.

So you think buying a railway network is the same as buying single family houses from MILLIONS of Canadians, some of whom, like me, live in them or actually built them ourselves? Ok then, good luck with that brilliant plan. Im sure there will be no pushback on that idea.

Lol. Yeah I closed it. But declaring bankruptcy is more fun.

Feucht has framed the backlash as a violation of religious freedom, saying: “If I had shown up with purple hair and a dress, claiming to be a woman, the government wouldn’t have said a word.”

He’s not wrong. And if someone had shown up at a gay club and thrown a smoke bomb on the stage during a drag show, they would be hauled out on their ass and prosecuted with anything that could be thrown at them.

Good thing we live in a country that believes in equal rights for all. But some people are more equal than others it appears.

The only act of “hate” at his worship service was the person throwing a smoke bomb.

I dont support thuggery. I do support freedom of expression, even if I dont agree with it.

Mastercard refused to allow people to donate to Julian Assange. Blatant political interference.

I cut up my Mastercard.

Thank you for a civilized and reasonable answer. There are some other small brained, rabid respondents here who could learn from you.

Well ‘nationalizing’ private property isn’t exactly ‘another way of doing things’ it would be a complete makeover of our society’s core values and very unlikely to happen with the consent of the owners of that property. So unless you’re proposing forced compliance and starting a revolutionary war, how exactly would we “nationalize” trillions of dollars worth of private property?

Iran hasn’t said that Jews should be wiped off the face of the earth? One quick google says otherwise: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2005/oct/27/israel.iran

Im asking legitimate questions trying to understand an international crisis. Youre making massive assumptions based on your own prejudice.

Whoa. Whose denying anything? I’m asking questions.

Wrong country. If you want communism you gotta move to one of those super successful countries like North Korea. Good luck with that.

So where were they supposed to go after the Nazis tried to eliminate them? They dont have ancestral or religious ties to other European lands or America or Canada or Australia or Asia or Africa so where?

Do they not have historical and religious connections to the land of Israel with roots dating back thousands of years?

They were occupants of that land before and during the same time as the Arabs.

I dunno but they did. Probably so the Nazis wouldn’t hunt them down and exterminate them all like they tried to do in the 40s?

Why shouldnt they have their own country?

Someone explain this to me: https://iris.org.il/images/israel-and-arab-world.gif

All the countries in yellow are Arab.

The little tiny slice in the middle in blue is Jewish and in that blue even the West Bank and Gaza are part of that blue island and are mostly occupied by the Arabs.

And these Arab nations believe that the Israel should not belong to the Jews and some (strongly) believe they should be wiped off the earth.

Why? Why is not the 99% of that land that belongs to the Arabs not enough for them?

Where are the Jews supposed to go?

Whether you sell it or not, that doesnt change the fact that you have invested a great deal of money into it, therefore it is an investment. Its status in your life has nothing to do with whether you plan on making a profit on it or not, its merely the definition of investing money.

Its crazy what people can do in a moment of rage. I grew up in a small prairie town that had nearly zero violence and then one day a guy decided to cut down some very old oak trees that were a windbreak for a rural property. The tree owner argued with him but he insisted he had permission to remove them. The owner, a normally very gentle guy, went in the house got his gun and shot the tree cutter to death. He did years in the penitentiary for it. Good church going man who destroyed his own life and caused his family a great deal of grief over 5 minutes of uncontrolled rage.

We definitely are. We dont need the press or the BofC to tell us when we are, we can see the signs - car prices are starting to drop. ‘Toys’ like motorcycles and boats arent selling or are selling for far less than they were last year and there is a flood of them on the market. Fast food places have started to advertise ‘value priced’ meals again in the $5 and $6 range instead of the $15 they’ve been gouging us for since covid. The thrift stores are busier than ever. People are actually buying groceries at the Dollar Store. Food banks are overwhelmed. The recession is here, they just dont want to say the ‘r’ word.
