I'm not sure about the legalities behind it. I think the videos had people's faces blurred out, if I recall correctly, so at least they tried to protect her identity. But to go on and on about it is certainly not fair. Forgiveness is not a virtue, neither in Islam nor among the left.

I know three women who have had problems with foreign born doctors who basically patted them on the head and told them not to worry their pretty little heads about anything because it wasn't important. Unsurprisingly, these doctors were from countries which are extremely paternalistic towards women, their rights, and their concerns. So they simply dismissed their complaints as unimportant. Then, too, though we don't keep track of medical malpractice here the way they do in the UK, I have to wonder just how good some of these foreign doctors are. Our government, of course, would never be so crass as to tell us. FOREIGN doctors made up three quarters of those struck off the British medical register between 2010 and 2015, according to official figures. http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/661899/NHS-recruitment-crisis-three-quarters-doctors-struck-off-from-abroad

Canada's royal viceregal just insulted all "aboriginals" with his ignorant and racist ranting about immigrants, but a mother in a Mississauga clinic gets more attention and scorn. Racism is quite acceptable in Canada for some people and has been for generations.

Sorry can't discuss this any more, got a warning point for thread drift.. :)-

In case you haven't noticed, the more points you make, the more infantile the responses to those points get.

Canadian news carried the story yet again yesterday, claiming the video has "gone viral, sparking outrage across Canada". The danger now is if the woman's identity leaks out, she might be attacked for her words. Same goes with repeated presentation of videos of police officers involved in a shooting. The role of media should not be to hype stories to the point of inflaming the public, causing mass unrest.

Everyone has opinions. They only matter in some cases, like questions about interpreting law or in politics. For questions about history, actual events, opinions matter little. We all want the facts. We only have the information that's been provided, in this case by western intelligence agencies. You people amaze me. OftenWrong makes a statement and several leftists pile on, demanding proof. Links are given, information is given. People don't like the information, so they attacked the messenger instead. One guy got so upset over it he put me on ignore. I've seen leftists deny reality, ignore the information and hope it goes away. It won't of course. Finally reality is a plane crashing into your building, taking it down.

Interesting how Trump can't seem to keep his mouth shut when it comes to his twitter trivial pursuit nonsense, but come to something actually important, such as a national healthcare bill and silence seems to be golden.

Aboriginal leader said yesterday, in celebration of the National Aboriginal day, "eat some Indian tacos...." Tacos? Wouldn't that be considered a cultural appropriation? They're so sensitive about anyone appropriating their culture....and yet, they think nothing of appropriating others'!

Update: Democrats are still losing biggly, have lost all special elections for the U.S. House since President Trump was elected. Michael Moore is calling Dems out for being clueless and leaderless:

The places they come from have certainly been treated badly and what terrorists do is ignorant and repellant. I've said so before I'm saying it now and I'll say it in the future all for the same reason. We acted in a ignorant repellant manner throughout much of the Muslim world because of our fear of Russia. Two wrongs don't make anything right. There's no excuse for that even if I do understand why people think it's okay or fine to believe otherwise. I wish those who argue that on our sided good luck arguing their cases at the reconciliation hearings.

Pro tip kids: if you smell like pot & you tell a police officer you're carrying a gun, keep your hands on the steering wheel and don't immediately reach for anything including your wallet.

Three days in a row, CTV News will not stop talking about it. They keep interviewing the guy who took the video, whose name I can't remember but was unpronounceable. He got to be interviewed on TV for three days, along with other witnesses. Oh the outrage. This woman should be given a little slack. She was really upset about her son's treatment, and sometimes that just makes people lose it. As for brown teeth, I understand what that means. I work with a PhD who's from the Middle East and has that problem. Not a bad guy but definitely dumb, I have to watch his every move. Lack of dental hygiene would concern me too if he was my medical doctor.

Ofcourse it was all about oil.... Churchill badly needed to secure access to Iran's oil before the Nazi Germans in world war II. It was a tactical move by Brits from South and the Russians from North. No matter how people want to paint this scenario the whole communist fiasco was 'sugar coated' by the Brits who were pissed at the decision by Dr Mossadegh to nationalise Iranian oil and collaborated with CIA to stage the coup against him...

I didn't apologize for Nazis. I just tried to explain why Shah's father (also a shah) was close to Germans because the British and Soviets wanted to divide Iran and capture it. It was playing politics. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Surely you are not implying that I am a Nazi are you???? No I don't have to pretend. Your post is up there as evidence. You say Stalin invaded Iran but no mention of Churchill or the British invading Iran at the very same time from the south.

Shah's father wanted to have Germany on his side as he was under pressure by Stalin and Churchill to give them Iran's wealth. This was politics. Iran stands for land of Aryans and Stalin alone did not invade Iran the British did too in order to use Iran as a supply route for Russia. I have already explained the reasons for 1953 coup. It was oil and petroleum not because of what happened more than a decade earlier.

Iranian people not so much the government was cozy with Nazi Germany as both nations are Aryans though Persians were geographically in a violent area of planet and frequently invaded and captured by barbarians like Arabs and Moguls and Turks. So now they are mixed. In 1941 in fact the fresh government of Shah Mohamad Reza Pahlavi declared war on Germany after it was occupied by British and Russian. In fact they called Iran the Victory Bridge. The 1953 coup had nothing to do with any of this. It was the British imperialism who lost a free resource (Iranian oil) in 1953 as a result of oil nationalization by Mosaddegh. They were stealing Iranian resources for decades and they lost this so they designed a devious plan to overthrow Mosaddegh government and tricked US into believing that Mesaddegh is in bed with communists or exaggerate the danger of a communist take over. The US always being a fool was fooled and staged this coup and now both are and will be paying the price for this aggression.

It would have been very unlikely that Mosaddegh would have lost any free elections because he was very popular as per his success to nationalize Iranian oil against the powerful thief the British. As for someone else would have staged a coup, we can't say this as a certainly. There have been dictatorships without a democratic traditions which turned to democracy (like Greece, South American countries, Eastern European countries, ....) and I think if it wasn't for the CIA coup Iran would have been among them as well. Don't consider Iran at the same level as other Middle Eastern countries. It is by far more advanced in political awareness, science and technology, sports, movies and human resources and has a rich history of civilization as compared to neighboring Iraq, Afghanistan, Saudi A. Central Asian countries and even Egypt most of which were under Iran's (Persian) empire for centuries. More like Turkey I would say which has now a quasi democracy.

According to this logic England should pay for encouraging the US to be it's lackey in Iran is 1953. Anyone else notice the price England is paying these days?

I do not support or condemn abortion. I do support a womans right to choose. One of the truly annoying things about Pro Lifers is this bullshit , constant conflation that being ProChoice means you support abortion. Hey Prolifers, its none of my business what a woman chooses . And news flash: it is none of yours either. Get thee out of that uterus.

I found her rant for a "white" doctor to be refreshingly honest and likely the result of frustration as well. She is not the first person to demand a doctor based on language, sex, or race...and it certainly was not because of Donald Trump.

I don't condone her behaviour or what sh said, but I'd cut her some slack as she was likely stressed out from waiting 5.5 hours in emerg. to be told by a 'brown doctor' he couldn't help her son. She then went to a walk in clinic. It is would not be racist to ask for someone who spoke understandable English, in fact it should be a requirement as it be life or death. Secondary issue here to me is that of people taking pictures/videos then posting them without permission. IMO that should be illegal.

Or maybe she just got tired of dealing with barely competent foreign doctors with imperfect English who treated her like a silly woman.

This 1000 page document released for first time in 64 years details the role that CIA and then US president played in 1953 coup wthout which it would have been impossible: Also how the British stole Iranian oil for decades and was unhappy with nationalism of Mosaddegh. http://foreignpolicy.com/2017/06/20/64-years-later-cia-finally-releases-details-of-iranian-coup-iran-tehran-oil/

That's not what happened, it was just following orders. Really stupid misguided orders it should have known better than to follow but...at least it fessed up to it.

The law professor is not the God and his words are just his opinions not coming from the bible!!. You did not respond to the other parts of the post for example the fact that Afghanistan was already under occupation by invading Taliban from Pakistan and it was not a sovereign country or the fact that they were brutal and murderous and treated women like dirt and Afghan people wanted them removed and were liberated. The Russians invaded a sovereign country (by staging a coup against Zahir shah in 1973 and installing their puppet regime) and later invaded which you seem to say NOTHING about but American invasion was a liberation of a country already under occupation and suffering real bad under Taliban. As for the US negotiating with Taliban, they negotiated with many regimes under dictatorship. There are two way to handle brutal regimes and make them moderate one is to negotiate first and if it didn't work then remove them by force. And for God'd sake what business!!!! Afghanistan has nothing. No Oil no resources no infrastructure no nothing. You seem to be very biased in your posts against America and for Russia and Muslim extremists. For example you say Russia is only not perfect but better than US ignoring all their crimes I listed all over the world and also called forced hijab as a personal choice in your other post!!!!!!. A good political analyst is unbiased and fair and looks at both side and not making one-sided criticism of one entity while ignoring others.

He meant John, not your hero Vladimir.

The Afghanistan war legal or illegal is debatable. It was the Taliban who had given refuge to Ben Ladin who attacked the US first (the 9-11) similar to Japan's Pearl Harbour. The Taliban itself invaded Afghanistan from Pakistan and took over by force and terrorized and murdered Afghan population over many years and brutalized women and treated them like dirt. It was not a sovereign nation but rather a nation already under occupation which one may look at the invasion as liberation of that nation by US. They deserve what was coming to them. The US should have targeted the Taliban only as many innocent civilians got killed as well. As for Iraq invasion, it was not as justifiable but Saddam himself illegally invaded Iran in which over one million people were killed. He also illegally invaded Kuwait a sovereign nation. He also gassed the Kurds and purposely killed many innocent civilians. He was brutal. I would say he got what he deserved, though again civilians who got in cross fire is regrettable.

I guess you have no comments about the US action in Iran and Chile and dismiss it as ancient history even though I said both in Iran and Chile the two nations are STILL paying a heavy price for the US illegal action. Yes United Nations is under United States but I agree Taliban was brutal and I was very happy they were removed and some of them sent to hell. My post never mentioned a care for the damn Taliban or murderous Saddam but rather the civilians who were caught in cross fire and hundreds of thousands killed by Americans. But you knew that anyways.

You use the term Caucasian quite a lot in your misguided tripe about our immigration, but in ways that indicate you are not quite sure of the real meaning of the term. I assume what you really mean to say is White. But it's OK it's certainly not hard to see where you are coming from. And it's obviously not anywhere near the Caucasus Mountains.,
