Just like the Democrats in the States. If they had a moderate leader who cares about jobs & talks a language most people relate to without getting into the planet is dying stuff or The Green New Deal then Trump would get turfed. But like the Conservatives in Canada who can't find a leader in the center political perspective neither can the Democrats find that leader to cover the middle ground. The one who benefits is Trudeau up here & Trump in the US.

However, we're talking about communism. The Third Reich & Hitler's reign as a Republic for example, was worse than Stalin's leading up to WW2. Stalin then used the outcome of the war to flex his muscles & took in all those Eastern Euro countries under his umbrella.

I think they go hand in hand. The problem with communism is if you have a dictator like Stalin the longer he is in power, the more powerful & entrenched he becomes. In a true democracy, he can be voted out.

One now far worse than the other.

If the Conservatives had a leader who wasn't hung up on LGBTQ rights or same sex marriage they'd clean up. Why they had to choose an unknown social conservative to lead the party into the election is beyond me. I'm glad Mad Max didn't win but Scheer could have done a lot more than he has done in bringing his politics more center right than staying a social conservative. I think most Canadians could care less if someone is gay or if they want to marry. Or concerned about LGBTQ rights. They should have the same rights as anybody else. What people do with their lives should be up to them as long as they don't bother anybody else.

I appreciate your answer as I didn't have a sense of where you stood. Thanks.

C'mon down...

And I may never see another Grey Cup in my lifetime if this team can't do it so I WANT THEM TO WIN. Some of you here have never experienced the satisfaction of being able to shut the **** up every other CFL fanbase by saying your team is the champion. I remember that 84 championship feeling the best over 1988 & 90. Until then, 22 years between championships. Beat the Lions at BC Place in the West final. Killed the Ti Cats in the GC in Edmonton. It was a great feeling & I want to experience it again at least one more time before I check out.

If Scheer had done black face the Liberals would have roasted him alive & calling him a racist. I love the fact that Trudeau is finally being exposed as a hypocritical virtue signaller. A Do What I Say Not What I Do politician.

Until Putin arrived. Took him a few years to show his true colours.

Oh, the 30's?? Sorry your highness. It had everything to do with communism because he was Head of the Soviet Communist Party.

Gorbachev? And you say I'm dumb? Carry on.

Yep.

Give me examples... I'd like to know. Honestly. Even if just to educate me.

The Communist system allowed for monsters like Stalin to rise to power all over the world where Communism reigned.

Name me one Communist leader who was kindly?

And that describes what communism was all about. Everywhere. It was never noble.

Do you like anyone or will you just spoil your ballot in every future election?

Guys who are all about money play in the NFL. Not in the CFL.

NOT a die hard Stamps fan. Why do you bring this s h I t up all the time? When do I ever pump the Stamps tires here? Like never because I don't want to. You are my friend on facebook. When I post a CFL pic it's never the Stamps it's only the Bombers. Quit stirring the pot. I go back over 55 years with the Bombers. I was a STH for the Bombers from 1974 to 89 when I moved to Calgary. You want to have a conversation with me, fine but please stop about the Stamps once & for all, please. Do you go on the air & start trashing the Esks & Stamps?

Seven million Ukrainians who Stalin starved to death in the 1920's would take issue with your second sentence about Communism being noble & a good idea if they could. My uncle lost his family & for the rest of his life he hated the Russians. Couldn't even mention the word Russian around him.

So, someone like Derrell Walker doesn't want to win? Or James Ellingson? Naman Roosevelt? Brandon Banks, Reggie Begelton? Bryan Burnham? They all want to win. They all want to make money, as well by being allowed to showcase their pass catching skills. There are teams like the Stamps & Hamilton that allow them to have a chance to do both. I wish I could say the Bombers are one of those teams.

No, that's not true. Stats mean money. Players can go to teams & have both. We don't have that here.

How many of our FA receivers will want to come back knowing our offense holds every pass catcher back? And how many from other teams will want to play here. That's my concern.

The question is, how far back do you go before something is considered irrelevant? Maybe, just maybe political parties should just stick to what is relevant today. Not in 2009 or 1989. During the AB provincial election, the NDP released a video of a speech Jason Kenney made in San Francisco at some Youth Conservative meeting about his views on gay rights. He was very much against gay rights in this speech made circa 1989. The video was released & people just went WTF?? This is a 30 year old video. Kenney was in his 20's at the time. In response, he said his views had changed & were no longer relevant. Instead of hurting Kenny & his Conservatives, the reaction of the public was that people change & it was over. It was a controversy for a day or 2. It made the NDP look desperate.
