For fuck's sake, post whatever the hell you want in here. But don't act all bewildered and surprised when people get annoyed with you for sucking up all the oxygen in the room (for three pages) talking about a video from an obviously biased and partisan Youtuber that is "On a mission to bring common sense back to Millennials/Gen Z."

CBC Just HUMILIATED Mark Carney! CBC STUNNED as Mark Carney PANICS! Watch CBC Realize They Can’t Save Carney—Poilievre LAUGHS!

Nothing about this Youtuber piques my interest, and I'd imagine that's the case for the majority of regulars here. This looks like biased garbage. Whether the content is balanced and impartial I've no idea, but the way this Youtuber's decided to frame their content certainly looks like they are pushing an agenda. I have a finite amount of time in a day, and I've wasted enough of it on this.

Stick to posting Mansbridge videos. Chantal Hébert is the goat.

Right wing SSPers seem to do this all the time... why are they so ashamed of owning up to their opinions?
I didn't have an opinion, I was curious if others did. If somebody countered what she said I could have learned from it but people seemed more interested in coming up with reasons to avoid it. You would think they wouldn't have posted anything.

Alt-right misinformation site, that's kind of judgmental isn't it. It seems the far more prominent left wingers are apt to insult and be judgmental especially their use of (my personal pet peeve) the belittling emoticon at the end of the sentence.

Easy with the language, I'm responding to posts that people are asking me. It's a two way street here. If you don't want me to respond don't ask. As for the interviewer I don't care who she is, you think I watch Rosie Barton's panel show to see Rosie? You just said yourself you didn't know whether the content was balanced and impartial. I watch what I assume are left wing videos all the time to see where they're coming from but I at least find out for myself. Man, I can remember a time when Liberals were open minded.

I replied already to what she said in the other threat.

To be clear, the premise of her argument is the response from governments and industry (people who attend WEF conferences) to climate change is smoke and mirrors and is having no impact.

She is wrong. Global emissions of CO2 since around 2010 has held steady, while we have experience population growth and economic growth. Its has declined in the west and increased in developing countries, basically cancelling each other out. While it may be up or down in and given year its staying in a band, perhaps slightly up this year. That is much better than the trajectory we were on before.

Thank you for a thoughtful opinion.

I'll answer my own question - seeing as elly doesn't seem to want to do so.

What does this mean? Were they promoted? Were they punished? Obviously they weren't going to be performing any more false flag operations after it was found out that they were stupid enough to brag about them to a CBC reporter. The appropriate response would be to fire them.

And calling a right-wing misinformation site a right-wing misinformation site is “judgemental.”

And the same tired trope of just posting obviously biased information, claiming they are "just asking questions". It's incredibly obvious what people are doing in 2025 and yet they keep trying.

It's possible people are that deep in the rabbit hole, but I doubt it if you're posting here.

You found me out, whatever will I do? Interesting that you can tell "biased" information without looking at it. So I guess I can't trust whoever Anderson Cooper interviews because he's biased?

Maybe post your opinion along with the videos you post so that we can get back to discussing issues instead of your posting habits?

I think it's more interesting that you can't tell, especially when it's that obvious.

Why do I always have to have an opinion? If I post a Mansbridge video just for people to watch do I need an opinion?

You guys love to judge but never say why, except for one guy. Is it because these things poke holes in your narrative? You protect the leftist ideology like a kidney.

What ideology am I protecting? Why don't you make a real point we can discuss? I'm not watching your videos, I certainly don't owe you even 10 minutes of my time.

Ok, here's links to 5 propaganda videos from far-left sources, I expect a polite response refuting all of the points in the videos... the one with less going on in their life wins!

link 1, link 2, link 3, link 4, link 5

How can you comment on videos you don't watch?

And I don't understand why you guys are trying so hard to convince people that Carney and the Liberals are faultless when he's going to win. Who are you trying to convince, yourself?
