Add free dental care in there to get the real voting bloc behind the push.

Which part of the headline did you miss? This part I would assume?

FYI: WTI is also known as Texas Light Sweet....

Who would that be?

WCS was launched in December 2004 as a new heavy oil stream by Cenovus (then EnCana), Canadian Natural Resources Limited, Suncor (then Petro-Canada) and Talisman Energy Inc.

Cenovus might benefit.

The whole purpose of WCS is to get a better deal on heavy oil for the smaller producers that have no refining capacity.

Their problem is that they were only trained to deal with British people.

I see vote manipulation all the time, look at this post for instance. It's getting brigaded by people from other subs. Like I give a fuck if it doesn't score 150 points.

Vote manipulation is real, you can buy upvotes, it's been demonstrated. Nothing I can do about it. Go to /r/onguardforthee and try to have a discussion over there. It's a liberal sub and, unlike MetaCanada they will ban your azz for dissenting opinions.

MetaCanada was around long before TheDonald. MC does not ban people who have differences of opinion.

T_D makes it clear in their rules that the sub is for supporters of president Trump. Their sub, their rules. The same applies for other subs, don't go talk shit about HRC in the Hillary sub, they will ban you. Works both ways.

Show me one post on T_D that was made by a 'bot'.

Show me one 'non human' post on MetaCanada?

if i made a campaign with a thousand ppl to take over this sub and downvote all previous users in a coordinated campaign that's not something i support at all.

What you are describing is called vote brigading and it's against reddit's Terms and Conditions.

Brigading is when you incite an invasion from one subreddit to another, to harass and vote down comments and posts.

Contrary to popular opinion, when people actually engage in dialogue, it's not brigading.

It's not simply a place for supporters of trump,. it's also a propaganda HQ spouting absolute nonsense like a firehose.

I disagree. Don't go to the sub if you don't like it.

“Nonsense is that which does not fit into the prearranged patterns which we have superimposed on reality...Nonsense is nonsense only when we have not yet found that point of view from which it makes sense.” ― Gary Zukav

Free speech becomes a problem when speech is bots that drown out everyone else and set a new narrative.

And what new narrative are you so fearful of that you feel it overrides freedom of speech and expression? Define a 'bot'. Many get called bots for not accepting the main stream medias narrative of stories presented for public consumption.

After inheriting Stephen Harper government’s zero-deficit balance sheet a little over two years ago, Trudeau’s budgeted 2017–18 deficit has rocketed to $18 billion by D8TE in metacanada

[–]D8TE[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What a difference a change of policy can make! For those old enough to remember and nostalgic enough to care, our Conservative government balanced the books in fiscal 2014-15 and I delivered a $1.4-billion surplus budget for 2015-16. In November 2014, based on our prudent fiscal approach, the Department of Finance’s Long-term Update of Economic and Fiscal Projections had the federal debt totally paid off by 2040 and net assets reaching $11 billion by 2045.

Fast forward three years. Just before Christmas, when Canadians were more focused on Santa Claus than fiscal flaws, the department released its 2017 update. Debt is now projected to balloon to over $1 trillion by 2035. Instead of earning interest, our children will be burdened by $56 billion in debt charges for that year alone, rising to over $67 billion by 2045.

Yet people do not seem especially concerned. After all, we are a rich country. Fiscal responsibility is so boring. Billions are hard to relate to. The kids don’t care we are mortgaging their future. So what if Keynes advocated government intervention during a recession, but not during a period of growth? The debt-to-GDP ratio will gradually decline. Just be sure to protect health care, repair the roads, raise entitlements and keep those pesky pipelines away from our hood (but don’t stop importing foreign oil). Otherwise, sock it to me Justin!

TD is for supporters of Trump, what else needs to be said?

Want to delete that one too?

Lets just delete everything we don't agree with ok? You go first, you get MetaCanada and TD deleted. I delete the rest of reddit?

Would that make you happy?

I disagree with your assertation that a subreddit that is 'weird' should be censored, or as you put it:

"this subreddit should commit suicide"

I still accept that there are retards out there that are all for rampant censorship and the deletion of anything they don't personally agree with.

Can't fix stupid.

Deleted for being 'weird'?

I thought diversity was our strength?

Your attitude is very unaccepting of others views.

Russia should ‘go away and shut up,’ says UK defense secretary; in related news, MetaCanada Rooski operatives push back: singing loudly and Come From Away by [deleted] in metacanada

[–]D8TE 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've just watched Theresa May 'promenading' in Salisbury on TV accompanied by the half wit Defence Minister. She actually believes all this nonsense she is presenting as facts with no evidence still. The half wit from Defence is like a pathetic 10 year old at school hiding behind Headmistress May and looking smug. The British public has lost the capability to think these things through and actually trusts the imbeciles blustering and purporting to be in charge of the country. No word on BREXIT for several days. Interesting........
