Totally understandable why this would be so upsetting to a Canadian like yourself.


I wouldn't care if it stayed within the US borders but US groups fund and spread the crap into Canada and other countries. All the MSM in the US is available in Canada and spreading their lies. Unfortunately what happens in the US effects Canada greatly.

The right believes in infections that might come and get them in their safe space. (as in powerful influences that might contaminate them) Infections from crime spread, infections from immigrants, infections from foreign religions, infections from gays, trans, Infections from wokism, infections from anything left, infections from just about everything but actual infections from, like actual infections like covid. That, they had trouble believing in.

You’re worried about SF “bathroom rules” spreading into Canada?

Sounds sane.

We'd be better off and give each citizen $1 cash and let some of us take care of the others.

But no, this is pork so the sanctuary cities can make their budgets.

It's similar to the Covid funding so they could make budgets.


This money is a way for the socialism wave to continue.

Emergency Food and Shelter Program National Board Allocates Over $300 Million to Local Communities for Humanitarian Support

Release Date: May 5, 2023

WASHINGTON - Today, the Emergency Food and Shelter Program’s National Board announced the allocation of $332.5 million to assist communities receiving noncitizens released from custody as they await the outcome of their immigration proceedings. This allocation, through the Emergency Food and Shelter Program-Humanitarian (EFSP-H) program, will go to 35 local governments and service organizations. This is just one component of DHS’s comprehensive, multi-agency plan to manage increased encounters at the Southern Border and support communities when the Title 42 public health Order lifts.

Probably because the issues you righties get all upset about are simply stupid.

9 are dead from a shooting at a Texas mall yesterday.

Because of the high number shot dead it made the national news. Low numbers only make the local news.

According to the Gun Violence Archive it is the 199th mass shooting in 2023 which it defines as the shooting of at least 4 people.

Why would a "low number" in a shooting make national news? News is about out of the ordinary things. Would a small fire make the national news? Honestly, I rarely read any story about any kind of shooting. Just not of interest to me.

I support your right to fly the confederate flag over your house instead of the actual US flag. To practice misogyny. To expound on nonsense ideas about what lefty thought is destroying in America. To keep asking me to have sex with a trans woman to prove absolutely nothing useful.
