I like nano thermite in my green tea.

HE notwithstanding, I think we can all agree that we benefit from the US military and our proximity to that country.

So you say while you enjoy the good life and prosperity the U.S. and allies have brought you. You enjoy the freedom to spout your nonsense because the U.S. and allies fought for your freedom.

Don't come across like you know something about the law, since you believe he could not be charged simply because of his age. Now that I proved you wrong you have no comeback besides personal attacks.

Sometimes evil masquerades as 'good' to trick gullible people. The destruction of Syria by the USA and allies is pure greed, pure evil. So was Iraq. So was Afghanistan. Anywhere in the world where there is conflict, you can bet the US corporatocracy is doing its evil work to take control of the government and its finances, and the country's resources. John Perkins, author of 'Economic Hitman' calls it "mutant ... viral ... predatory ... capitalism" It is US based, and it is evil.

Omar Khadr is special because he is the son of Ahmed Khadr, a Jihadist and close friend and associate of Osama Bin Laden. Then Liberal Prime Minister Jean Chretien was instrumental in having Ahmed Khadr released from a Pakistani jail. Chretien took that action mainly in order to persuade Canadians that the Liberal Party was more compassionate than opposition parties and went to great lengths to stand up for Canadians abroad. For Trudeau to recognize that Omar Khadr is a killer and a traitor for fighting against our allies and our soldiers would be tantamount to condemning ex-PM Chretien's actions which set Ahmed free to continue murderous Jihadist actions. That would be harmful to the Liberal brand. Hence the 10.5M payoff.

Thank god for USA. Just imagine if it was not them in charge, all the idiots here would not have a safe forum to spout off thier nutty conspiracy theories.It is so sad that there are people here that think the world did not start till GW was in power. And that everyone was living ;large till america showed up. Have the west done things right all the time no, but certainly have helped out more countries and people then anyone else. Who saved the muslim butt in bosnia and other places AMERICA. Look at countries run by Isam, shit holes and will always be. Why do they all want to come here or america, think about it. Nothing but savages and need to be dealt with harshly.And to the women that support Islam, go live in a Islamic country and see what happens to you, when you open your mouth.

Yes it is...and it includes Canadian and many other nations advancing their own economic interests over the locals, from mining to petroleum to military alliances and export sales. Nano thermite pixie dust cannot change this reality.

You're on. End of production of fossil fuel vehicles ... in North America? I suggest we'll have difficulty knowing about the whole world.

That's the way of the world. The strong and powerful can do anything. Thank God it's not a country like Libya, or Irag, or Zimbabwe, or Iran..... Anyway.....you think Islamists problems just sprouted overnight? That there wasn't any long-term planning involved? What's been the goal of Islam practically since its founding - isn't it to take over the world? Even Churchill warned about the danger of Islam! That's a century ago - before Trump! http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2012/11/30/happy-birthday-winston-churchill.html

You can send your $50 to your local food bank.

I wish that I could vote for a Trump like politician here in Canada. Trump is getting rid of his garbage and our feminist PM is helping to pick up that garbage, and bringing that garbage back home to Canada. I know that I am being ruled over by a bunch of useless liberal misfits who are out to destroy what was once a great WASP nation, and are now being allowed to turn it to a third world dump. Way the go, liberals. Your plan is working, bozos.

You mean "padded".

And yet you support Trump.

You are quite ill-informed and I see that you choose to remain that way due to a religious prejudice.

Kill the bastard.

Bitter, rude and insulting.. best to ignore

I suggest something on a whole different level. Not financial.

Our so-called government.

As of this year 2017 there has been over 4000 criminal so-called refugees that have entered Canada illegally. 4000 new criminals for Canada who do not believe in abiding by the laws of Canada. And all of them have to be fed, clothed, and housed all at the Canadian taxpayer's expense. It is now August and I must assume that there will be another 4000 plus illegals that will enter Canada before the year is over. That feminist PM of ours should be fired or arrested for allowing this to happen and blowing Canadian taxpayer's tax dollars probably to the tune of another hundred million or more tax dollars. Your Canadian tax dollars at work, sucker.

Castro was a hero to most Cubans because he was a ruthless dictator who demanded total and complete loyalty from his people. Dissent was not tolerated, many spent years wasting away in abysmal prisons. You talk of others being gullible, yet you can't seem to grasp that the only reason that Cubans showed loyalty to their brutal leader was not of free choice, but of brutal repression.

That's what the ignore feature is for.

It has come to the point it's almost impossible for rational MLW members to have logical exchanges with the likes of some of those posters. Every thread is being hijacked.

If the Anglicans had the same cultural norms and were bringing them to Canada in large numbers (tens of thousands every year) and if those cultural norms were supported by their religion I'd be just as opposed to Anglican immigration as I am to Muslim immigration. And I don't 'fear and hate' Muslims. I simply do not consider them to be anywhere near the best kind of immigrants we could get, either culturally or economically. In fact, they're pretty much the worst. Thus there is no reason to bring them here and every reason not to.

You two are welcome to defend Islamic terrorists and murderers as well as traitors to Canada, just to support of your leftist agenda.

It certainly is, and the "court" in Gitmo failed to declare him an illegal combatant. But that's only one of the many legal frailties that surround his case and convictions, so there are strong arguments to support them being overturned. As a side note though, I'll bet his lawyer/guardian Dennis Edney has had a frank discussion or two with Khadr telling him don't even get a bloody speeding ticket for the time being at least.

Do I ask you to research your stuff? No and I would not. You raised the matter that Conservatives did it too so do your own research. In any case, you're so confrontational and unyielding in your ideology I find you unpleasant in most of your exchanges.

Love the USA, just like millions of legal and illegal immigrants, including Canadians. WWII is often a nano ranter's historical demarcation because the big, bad, evil USA was very useful then...and it still is now. Canada's foreign minister sure thinks so:

There are cases where minors were charged despite being under-aged, already pointed out to you. But you don't want to listen, of course. Two-second google search- http://www.lawlessons.ca/lesson-plans/2.7.adult-sentences-for-youth

Believe it or not, it's the battle between good and evil. Without the USA.....the landscape across the world would be very different. Maybe, there wouldn't be any democracy at all.

Did you know McDonald's restaurants was started in 1954 by an American businessman? Today McDonald's feeds at least 1% of the world's population in over 100 countries. American (and Canaian) supermarkets of full of fruit, vegetables, and foodstuffs that many parts of the world only dream of. We in America and Canada have great wealth with automobiles, homes, computers, TVs, and many other material goods. Many people have good-paying jobs or pensions. They enjoy several weeks paid holidays, they get lots of long weekends like this one we are on now. The opportunity is available for many. Many people dream of coming to live in America and many come in illegally to reap the benefits of the good life. Meanwhile in Russia, the former USSR, people are lining up a grocery stores to try to get a few things. There are shortages. The people in the former USSR have suffered greatly since the communist revolution in 1917. Millions of people were murdered just as millions more were murdered by Chairman Mao tse Tung in China. America, the leader with it's military might has kept the west free. Tyrants abound in the world and are threatening the west; even right at this moment in N. Korea. Thanks to the U.S. we enjoy great prosperity and freedom. We might have been taken over by the USSR long ago or Hitler would control the world if the U.S. had not brought it's military might into the battle in WW2. You should appreciate the U.S. and west's military strength instead of criticizing the west. You probably enjoy all the benefits of our prosperity and freedom daily, but you show no appreciation, but exactly the opposite.

His mother is the only other adult who could be considered responsible, but I doubt very much that there would be any evidence that she she forced Omar into AlQuaeda. That was his father's doing.

His father is dead. It's odd that seemingly intelligent people here don't grasp that in a modern civil society, we don't hold children responsible for the sins or crimes of their fathers or other family members. I'm glad we have laws, because without them I get the feeling we could easily have a rather uncivil lynch mob going after Omar Khadr. I had hoped we had evolved beyond that.

I was in Iraq hoping to help preclude the invasion.As usual you didn't read what I said, because you're apparently too arrogant and stupid to do so. You have probably never been much farther afield than the end of your block.

I thought the Clinton Foundation was handling the Haiti crisis? You know collecting all the donations and distributing it to reputable sources etc etc.

Bullshit. Your ability to read minds is astounding. One wonders why you aren't out solving the world's problems since you have such talent in ascertaining the true motivations and thoughts of absolutely everyone. Or at least making a killing among the gullible who believe that sort of claptrap.

And as has been said many times, you haven't seen anything yet. Wait until climate change starts forcing refugees our way if it hasn't already.

Just saw this post. I have to say that I cannot imagine the pain and trauma of having this in your history. i want to also say I am impressed by your ability to take a more moderate view of Muslims overall, considering that there is still a sizable contingent who continue to hate and target Jews and given how horribly Jews have already suffered from hatred in recent memory. Thank you for demonstrating what I consider true humanity, and which I believe the majority of humans are both capable of and willing to do. Too bad your views on JT are so wrong, though.

What I have read indicates that with a Guaranteed Annual Income, the disincentive to work is much smaller than expected. Of course, that's different than welfare which does disincentivise working because benefits are lost. GAI is not lost (until a relatively high ceiling), so people can work to improve their income. GAI also reduces criminal and social problems, and consequent policing and health costs. As for taxes, I've heard that argument before too, but never seen any evidence of those effects either. 'Common sense' often isn't.

Well, this thread is about Islamophobia in Canada, but has now degenerated into the usual generalized stereotypes and anti-immigrant hysteria.

I guess you haven't noticed that all politicians of all stripe suck up to minorities and special interest groups to win their vote.

You didn't seem to upset when Conservatives were courting similar votes in similar fashion.

Oh, how nice. And this has what to do with Canada? How does this justify illegal immigrants? How does this justify draining Canadian resources for people who should be going home instead of looking for a free ride in Canada?

We cannot absorb thousands of them without problems along the way as in, no jobs. What level of education do the Haitians have, if they are not skilled workers then we will be looking at huge welfare and medical bills in the long term . The gov't/Trudeau is waffling on this as they are likely preparing a general amnesty for all illegals in another year or so. This will be in time for them to vote (Liberal) in the next election.

Yes, indeed, because failing to express constant, hyperbolic criticism of anything and everything the news cares to feed us about Muslims means I support terrorists, misogyny, FGM, child-marriage, etc., etc. Clearly, the only reasonable choices is to hate Muslims indiscriminately or hate Canada/freedom/democracy. Sapper presented a fantastical choice and I gave a fantastical answer. Getting rid of just the 'bad' people is as realistic as getting rid of 'only one religion'. Sorry, have to head for work, no time for the rest.

Why yes I do. But some here seem to think that Muslim men raping and assaulting women is a Muslim thing, when really its more of a "man" thing.

I don't have a problem with cloning humans. And the worst that could happen is that the designer baby turns out to have deep physical or intellectual flaws, which an awful lot of babies do now anyway.

It's your type of reaction that makes discussing politics with you a waste of my time.

The truth is that we've been on a eugenics program for centuries, if not longer. Looks? Who do young people look for in a partner? Someone hot, ie, attractive, someone tall and easy on the eyes, and preferably someone smart. If couples go to one of those sperm donor clinics what do they want to know about the donors? They want them to be intelligent and good looking. I think that some clinics even pay a premium for people like nobel prize winners. All this would be is doing it more efficiently. Besides, it's tired and cheap to say if Hitler liked dogs then everyone who is a dog lover is acting like Hitler.

Perhaps you should add some other religious groups to your hate list then, such as Mennonites and Polygamous Mormons. They dictate women's apparel, segegate men and women, discourage women from seeking education, cover up wife-beating and sexual abuse of teenage girls from the wider society and blame the women for those behaviors within their society.
