If you like your doctor...kinda...

Sure, they all knew that when they voted. Other than 78% of them. I was struck by the Nevada caucus-goer who said that Trump “tells it like it is.” It’s one of Trump’s strengths. An exit poll taken during the South Carolina Republican primary, for example, reported that 78 percent of voters who said “tells it like it is” was the top quality they’re looking for in a candidate said that they supported Trump. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2016/03/04/trump-tells-it-like-it-is-thats-not-necessarily-a-good-thing-for-democracy/?utm_term=.cf7c0d6a5959 -
GM to announce the closing of operations in Oshawa

Why would anyone be dumb enough to think Trump has balls? What brave thing has he ever done? Irv: You seem to have an inside scoop on this. Why the big deal now? Evidently GM had 23,000 employees in Oshawa in 1980. Now they have 3,000. They've lost over an average of 1,000 per year since 1980. This isn't that be of a deal. -
Putin has stepped up attacks in the Ukraine, place your bets.

Gotta give you credit. Whatever part you had in helping England and Canada teach Germany a lesson, it worked. German's are now more like the American ideal than the USA is. Who would have guessed that a German Chancellor would be a far better humanitarian than the President of the USA? -

We aren't Putin's ally. Why would we help him out? -

So in other words..... What the US sacrificed in WW2, (only after they were attacked on Hawaii, because they stayed out of it until then) should never be forgotten. However, the sacrifices of European countries made in Afghanistan and Iraq mean nothing. Indeed. Why were they stupid enough to trust the USA? Perhaps the USA should give them some nukes in exchange for ignoring that guarantee of protection. -

If that's what your leader Putin wants, that's what he'll get. -

Here is 401 and 402. You can decide if the victims were worth counting. https://www.click2houston.com/news/man-killed-others-injured-including-3-children-near-church-in-independence-heights-shooting https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/11/26/four-shot-at-west-oakland-vigil/ -

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I didn't think you'd help out the Ukraine. No chance of that. I was asking if you were going to help your ally. Putin is your ally now, you should know that. -
Trump should ask Fat Drug Ford for some pointers. He already has his own propaganda ministry spinning tory stories.

Well then he's a fucking idiot for not being able to get his message across. -
None of it is good. But my answer was to the person that said one lie is as bad as many. A lot of people lie on their resume. They may lie about taking a smoke break or a longer lunch. That's stealing time. Who knows how many lies Ben tells to people so he can spend all day on here. If your only choices are someone who lies 25% of the time and 70% of the time, who are you going to choose? In this case people almost half the people chose the person that told them the lies they wanted to hear.

I checked out another site and there were about 6 places that use 6 different ways of defining a mass shooting. Some like the fbi's definition of murder has to be 4 dead others count 4 victims fatal or not. Some include the shooter, some don't I think as long as you use the same criteria and explain it, then it can be legitimately tracked. This was also from that site. I think you may be correct that for some a disconnect is occurring between their actions and reality Are Mass Shootings on the Rise? In 2014, the FBI released a study showing that “active shooting incidents” had increased at an average annual rate of 16 percent between 2000 and 2013 (Blair and Schweit, 2014). In contrast to the varied definitions for mass shootings, there is an agreed-upon definition among government agencies for active shooter: “an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area; in most cases, active shooters use firearm(s) and there is no pattern or method to their selection of victims” (U.S. Department of Homeland Security, 2008, p. 2). Using a modified version of this definition to include incidents that had multiple offenders or occurred in confined spaces, Blair and Schweit (2014) found that active shootings had increased from only one incident in 2000 to 17 in 2013. The FBI study (Blair and Schweit, 2014) highlighted several key issues in determining trends in mass shootings. First, the absence of a systematic definition of mass shootings can lead to misinterpretation of reported evidence. While the study explicitly stated, “This is not a study of mass killings or mass shootings” (p. 5), extensive media coverage cited the study as evidence of a sharp rise in mass shootings and mass shooting fatalities (Lott, 2015). However, the definition of an active-shooter incident is broader than any of the commonly used criteria for mass shootings (see table above) because it does not set any casualty threshold. Of the 160 active-shooter incidents included in the FBI’s analysis, 7 percent resulted in zero casualties, 20 percent resulted in zero fatalities, and 22 percent resulted in a single fatality (Lott, 2015). Setting a threshold of zero victims increases the potential for measurement error, because shooting incidents with no casualties are more difficult to identify from police records and are less likely to receive media coverage (Duwe, Kovandzic, and Moody, 2002). Additionally, because it should be relatively easier to identify more-recent shootings with few fatalities, a low casualty threshold will tend to systematically bias estimates of the number of shootings upward over time. For example, the Stanford Mass Shootings in America database, which relies solely on online media sources to identify mass shooting events, cautions its users, “Data in the [database] spans a time period that includes the transition from traditional media to digital media in reporting. Numbers of incidents per year should at least in part be assumed to reflect this collection methodology and not just changes in incident frequency.” Thus, the more than threefold surge in mass shooting incidents from 2014 to 2015 shown in the Stanford data likely reflects increased online reporting and not necessarily a true increase in the rate of mass shootings. -

Are you saying the CBC made up the story? You little Trumpsters can't help yourselves. Do a google search. Hudak fucked up. He could have disappeared for a month before the election and he would have had a better chance. Just like Tory. He could have back tracked on religious school funding and lying McSquinty would have been a one term Premier. -

Yeah, seems like it was a conservative party mo . Get close to winning, say something stupid. You didn't answer the question though. Seems like you were defending the decision to vote for Wynne. -

You may not but this site does. They are kind enough to included the data. You and dooski could rip into that data and do some great gotcha journalism. You could find there were only 120 school shootings, 150 workplace 50 mall shootings and the rest were all gang related. That would show them. -

No it is accurate. They are incidences when four people were shot. That is what they say they are tracking, mass shootings. Would you say the only casualties of war are the soldiers that die from enemy fire? Not include friendly fire or those who are wounded? -

You are a Trumpster and liar. You didn't have to vote for him to be a fan boy. I said there were 400 mass shooting this year according the the Mass shooter website, you said there were BB gun shootings included. You were lying. They did not include BB gun shootings. -
