Fixed truths like total, unmitigated, unrelenting, in-your-face, hypocrisy:
In sign of the times, Ayn Rand Institute approved for PPP loan
The institute promoting the “laissez-faire capitalism” of writer Ayn Rand, who in the novels “Atlas Shrugged” and “The Fountainhead” introduced her philosophy of “objectivism” to millions of readers, was approved for a Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan of up to $1 million...www.reuters.com
Grover Norquist’s Anti-Tax Group Took Money From the Paycheck Protection Program

Canadians lie too in order to spin a story, but there is the rub, more of us recognize a spin, while too many Americans believe the spin and take it as gospelI try to get the facts correct via the scientific method. Sometimes one has to really "Dig" to get to the true reality. That's probably why I never cared for Rush Limbaugh.
First time I realized he was a liar was when he went on a rant about health care in this country> "Well people, did you know that the Canadians send their citizen to OUR hospitals and doctors." "That's true, their health care is so bad that they would rather pay to send their sick people to us rather than use their own hospitals!"
Ah Yeah...what he DIDN'T tell you is sometimes along the Canadian border, in a remote area (Where there's no hospitals), the locals would send their sick across the border to the USA because the patient would only have to travel a fairly short distance rather than take the patient several hundred miles to a Canadian health center. The Canadians figure it's safer and cheaper to do that and much more logical. But of course, the right-wing Rush Limbaugh conveniently left that "Rest of the story" out. To me, that's the same as lying and spreading misinformation..

of course you are rightThere is no such thing as right or wrong in social and political matters, just preferences. But there are true or false claims that can be demonstrated as true or false.

Yep, Canadians are way smarter than Americans which is why they pay more for many things to get more “free” stuff from their government.

OFF TOPIC, come on, you were one of the first people I engaged with when I came on DP, and now you give me this deflection??
The topic is ARE YOU ALWAYS RIGHT?
Instead some contributors on here decided to make this about my flag, go figure, so I played along just to show them how silly they sound going off topic, and BINGO, now you are doing the same?
Yeesh!
The topic on here is not even about Canada vs US prices, or which group is smarter, the question posed was ARE YOU ALWAYS RIGHT? But since I wear a Canadian flag, they decided to avoid the question and talk about Canada instead.What do grocery prices have to do with intelligence? Nothing. Canadians are well aware of what they pay in taxes and the benefits the receive. They don't think they are getting get free stuff from the government, but that it is worth paying taxes for things far more costly than groceries, like medical care.

OK, you prefer having a more indirect method of paying for things, but that different personal preference does not make you smarter (or right).
Just tell him he is right, Cdns pay more for groceries, that way he can answer in the affirmative the question ARE YOU ALWAYS RIGHT?Never said it did. Politics is all about preferences.
OK CANADIANS PAY MORE FOR GROCERIES!
Happy now?
After all, ARE YOU ALWAYS RIGHT? is the topic here.
SO YOU ARE RIGHT - ALWAYS!!

I SAID YOU ARE ALWAYS RIGHT?Are you now trying to assert that posting facts, backed up by linked material, is a bad thing? This was in response to your claim that Canadians were less gullible (more aware of things?) than Americans - was that claim RIGHT or were you just spewing your opinion?
I SAID YOU ARE ALWAYS RIGHT?
sheesh, what more do you want?
