I appreciate it, though being hostile back won’t change anything. Being mass downvoted, insulted, and called a troll for asking what actions people expect from the Prime Minister has led me to the conclusion that this isn’t a place for discussion.

I still haven’t received an answer of what people want the government to do. Fact checking is something the government can do but I don’t see that being what people are asking for.

So just fact check? The Canadian government should fact check the US government?

What do you mean by “not cede ground”?

This article doesn’t contain a point. What does the author want the government to do?

This better not awaken anything in me 🤔

These petitions get a “government response” which is typically an MP from the government giving a canned response. I’d love to see a link to whatever record you are talking about.

The murder of Charlie Kirk is part of a disturbing rise in political violence that threatens to hollow out public life and make people afraid of participating. From the January 6th, 2021 attack on the United States Capitol, to the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, to the attack on Paul Pelosi, to the attempted kidnapping of Michigan Governor Whitmer, to the murder of Minnesota Speaker of the House Melissa Hortman and her husband, to the arson attack on Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, to the shooting of United Health Executive Brian Thompson, and the shooting several years ago of Representative Steve Scalise, this chilling rise in violence has targeted public officials across the political spectrum.

Sadly, this is not a new phenomenon. We all remember the assassinations of President Kennedy, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Senator Robert F. Kennedy, John Lennon, and Medgar Evers, and the attempted assassinations of President Ronald Reagan and Alabama Governor George Wallace.

Kinda sounds like this has been a problem in the US for decades. Maybe the government should look into that.

But bottom line, if we honestly believe in democracy, if we believe in freedom, all of us must be loud and clear: Political violence, regardless of ideology, is not the answer and must be condemned. Thank you very much.

Ah, that should solve it! Well done, Bernie!

Because petitions do nothing? Name literally a single petition from this website that has caused a law change.

While everyone else was running away, this man was brave enough to run in (and steal the merch).

Out on the road today, I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac

They shouldn’t be allowed to feel safe going to work until kids feel safe going to school.

Being fired from your job over things you said has nothing to do with the right to free speech. That right means the government won’t punish you. It does not stop anyone else from punishing you.

I think that’s the exact point. Conservatives are fine with mass deportations, until it’s them. They’re fine with protestors being run over, until it’s them. They’re fine with denying people abortions, until it’s them. They’re fine with a few people being shot dead, until it’s them.

It’s why conservative commentators talk so much about how empathy is bad. If you were empathetic you’d know that, if you wouldn’t be alright with it happening to you, it’s not alright for it to happen to others.

Wait a sec, Minnasoda doesn’t have a d??

Shooting Charlie Kirk? Celebration!
Posting of photo of the shooting? Too far!

Alright, I got an eighth. How do I trade it for music?

Still waiting for any kind of counter argument. Becoming a vegetarian is something anyone can do immediately and cuts their ties to an industry that is making climate change worse. Not driving a car or only using sustainable energy sources are great but not everyone can immediately switch away from these things.

Kurzgesagt has a video where they present a lot of research data on the topic if anyone is interested in sources to back up claims. I like the video because it’s prefaced by saying the hardest part of the topic is getting people to not be offended at the idea of becoming a vegetarian, or even just eating less meat. It’s difficult enough to get people to change their diets when it’s causing a direct negative effect on their own health, let alone some abstract negative effect on the planet. I understand. Nobody wants to change their diet, but it’s something people are capable of doing, and with so many benefits that come with it, I encourage people to at least give it a thought.

That’s true. Using your vehicle less is good. Not using one at all is even better. The same logic applies to eating meat. Less meat is good. No meat is even better. Your argument is the exact same argument for not eating meat. You cannot believe one is true without necessarily believing the other to be as well.
