Gee...if only there were a way to stop people from illegally entering Canada...... Hows about just turning those barriers about 90 degrees? I believe the intent of calling something a "barrier" is so they can be used as.....barriers. And how about a sign that says "Entering here is against the laws of Canada. No crossing of the border at this location will be allowed. Go to an official border crossing."....in English and french of course. And then take a couple of those RCMP officers (you know, the ones with guns) and have them PREVENT people from breaking the law.

Well, at least we can lay one argument to rest.....Minister Hussen himself finally came out and said it: Yup, it's illegal Hey Omni, care to argue the point again, with the Liberal Minister perhaps?

Trudeau is in Quebec on CBC at this moment answering questions about the illegal migrants flooding into Quebec. He is doubling down on the idea Canada is a welcoming and open country for migrants and refugees. He repeated this several times. He also calls the illegal migrants irregulars repeatedly. He obviously continues to send the message to the world to come on in. We will welcome you and take care of you. The Canadian government has set up refugee camps on the border and openly welcomes them to come in. He claims there is no advantage to coming in "irregularly" on how they will be processed. But he gives such a soft approach to the whole thing one would think they are welcoming illegal migrants with open arms, which they are. Almost 7000 have crossed into Canada in the last six weeks.

The social support costs for claimants — education, social assistance and health care — were $600 a month each in 2016-17, the memo said. At that claim volume, those costs could climb to $2.97 billion from 2017 through 2021. Sorry, but does anyone else find these numbers to be way off? Anyone here think they can live on $600 a month? Anyone? We're going to pay for their food, clothing, shelter, education AND health care - plus their legal fees as they go through the refugee system and appeals - for $600 a month!? I don't bloody think so! At a very minimum you have to double this, but even then I find it highly doubtful you're going to pay for food, clothing shelter, AND health care for $1200 a month. Doing basic math seems to indicate the number ($2.97 billion) is for one year's intake of about 40,000 refugees. You'll have to double this every year if the same appear again next year and the year after that. So if we say that $1200 is a lot more realistic a number that's about $6 billion per year per year's intake. Which means since last year's refugees are almost all still on welfare, it's $12 billion for this year, $18 billion for next year. And remember, even if they wind up working, it will almost certainly be at the kind of basic, low skilled, low wage job which does not pay enough to repay the government for the services they will require, like health care, and that these are the very jobs which are going to be disappearing over the next decade due to automation.

Becoming?? It's way past that even before Trump got into office.

The plan? Who needs a plan, the refugee crisis will take care of itself...won't it? I find it interesting that the immigration minister says the situation is unpredictable. Most people were talking about this and anticipating it back in January, most people knew that there would be an influx of illegal crossings once the weather warmed up. It may have been unpredictable to the Liberals, but it certainly wasn't to everyone else in the country who was paying any attention at all to what was going on.

I doubt you read the link I provided which explained quite clearly the situation in Cornwall. A couple of salient points: Yes, it will be interesting to see how the situation develops when the cold weather moves in and snow begins to fall. Even the federal Minister of Immigration said that the present situation is unpredictable. Is there a plan going forward? If there is, where's that plan?

Worst year ever for antisemetic attacks. Crickets from the left. Let's talk about Islamaphobic feelings instead.

People do need to understand history and why those statues are there. Most were erected during and after Jim Crow in an effort to entrench white supremacy. Even Lee thought erecting statues was "picking that scab" and was against it. Just because one should be free to create a Piss Christ, doesn't mean it should be displayed in a public park.

Your time and effort in response is to be commended. I do have some further points, and I'm not always politically correct. I believe 95% of people are unaware of what is really going on...more concerned with pop culture, sports, and marijuana legalization. The question I posed is more than valid. It goes directly to the heart of the debate about Confederate statues and their placement and or removal from the public space in the U.S.A. Particularly as it relates to the capital of the nation; a very special administrative district that is called the District of Columbia. The existence of the monument to this Confederate general, being in an outdoor venue in the Federal capital, is perplexing to say the least; that is unless one knows of the esoteric value of good old Albert Pike. He also happens to be buried in the crypt of the House of the Temple Masonic building that exists in a special place in the grid of D.C. as laid out by Pierre L’Enfant. Quite curious stuff – check it out for yourself… No one will be taking down his statue, and his bones will not be disinterred from the Masonic H.Q., ( at least not while the corporate United States of America is in existence.) Martial law would be declared first, should it be in danger, and I believe trespassers would be shot on sight. Maybe Americans should demand the Trotskyites over at Southern Poverty Law, Black Lives Matter, or Antifa to give it a whirl. They would probably wind up on a one-way flight to the Amazon basin for a very extended holiday.

Trudeau's "firm grip" on border crisis...to carry more refugee luggage ! http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/asylum-seekers-border-crossing-1.4258928

I find your agreement with GH a micro-aggression.

Agreed.

Not both. Democrats have let down the poor blacks they pretend to represent. Example - Chicago - Democrat controlled since....forever. Have a nice day though.

Howlin Wolf - Shake For Me

After recent events, Champagne Socialist House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi discovered that the United States Capitol building contains many statues of Confederate dignitaries. Thirty years walking those halls and she just noticed?

This is too funny not to share. Interviews with anti-racist, anti-fascist protestors expressing their near total lack of knowledge about just about everything related to just about everything.

Nah. I don't seek support. I'm a lone wolf. I don't seek the approval of conformists. Anyway..... Who do we blame? To my mind it’s not only campus faculties and their speech police auxiliaries but also print publications that also assume for themselves the mantle of moral arbiter and assigner of blame. It’s truly astounding but these self-proclaimed magistrates, who purport to be the most enlightened of society, the best of the best, the pinnacle of what civilization can do, have been out busily fomenting for a while what we saw in Charlottesville. A lot of people have been saying it, enough with the insults and inflammatory rhetoric. But no, it was full speed ahead. And so now the self appointed magisterial proclamations all shriek the same shriek: condemn the neo-this, alt-that. OK, but did the self-appointees happen to notice the guys carrying clubs in the anti-fascist contingent? Clearly visible they were in that video of the car-ramming. What do we suppose the clubs were for? Applied to human skulls these age-old devices can accomplish pretty much what that car did. Time to have a talk about the shit that pass for wisdom. Should media shut down hate-speech? OK, there’s a lot of hate-speech that maybe needs to be shut down. So maybe start with the butt-hole leakages from supposedly “progressive” media and campuses because if that stuff ain’t hate-speech then find me a better word. You may not be capable of mature discussion, Omni. If that I the case, please don't reply.

Not serious are you? Cause that doesn't even stop normal soldiers who don't want to die, let alone fanatics who are willing to blow themselves up.

Something inside me says it is a great mistake to try erasing history by toppling statues. Should Time Magazine be destroyed for naming Hitler Man of The Year in 1938? What makes a magazine cover permissible but a statue an outrage? Is it the solidity and permanence of the material used?

LoL Micho Burpner is also a Jewish (probably zionist too) ? I think this explains how Rue survives since long despite he insults everyone in the forum

I'm proudly circumcised, but that's between me, my wife, my locker room mates, that girl at camp that one time and my deity. The bigger point here is that we should be able to discuss something without calling a poster's objectivity into question because of the religion they were born into. Mazel Tov.

Thales is a major military contractor. This is what they do. They have similar contracts with the Australian armed forces including the navy. They will be using DND facilities so they can always be replaced by another contractor.

Semitics are Caucasoid, aren't they ? Just say 'white pure blood'. We all know what you mean. I'm not afraid to say it. I'm just amused by how your arguments with me change when you think I'm a Jew. We all know what you mean. Insults. And yet you can't move on without knowing if I'm a Jew, nor will you deny that you're a Nazi, or white nationalist or whatever you want to call yourself. I'm giving you the opportunity to define yourself.

Now has a British passport! Which makes me even more superior to the rest of you than is usually the case!

The open secret about the Canadian refugee system is that there are middle-men involved, sometimes in the original country, sometimes here. Often they're 'new Canadians' who call themselves immigration advisors. Sometimes they're immigration lawyers and their assistants. And these people provide a boiler plate statement to the refugee, telling him or her, in essence, what sort of story to tell to get themselves approved. Remember that there is almost never any actual proof of direct persecution, so it's mostly if the applicant claims to be persecuted and can come up with a credible statement and lies convincingly he or she is often allowed to stay.

No, but it's beyond stupid as a claim and beyond stupid to think anybody would believe that "it's on the internet" says anything about anything. "Dogs are cats". There. Now THAT is on the internet.

1. As far as I can tell Ashkenazi Jews are of the 'Caucasian' 'race'. You find it necessary to separate them, or put them into a different metaphorical rail car than white people.... for... some... reason... 2. I did not say that I was Jewish. I'm not answering you. 3. You tell me if you support Nazis or not. So far we have you sniffing around the forum for Jews like a bloodhound, trying to pin a yellow star on me (again metaphorically), separating Jews from whites, and claiming a bunch of seig-heiling racists chanting "blood and soil" are NOT racists. So. You tell me.

I'm not sure of the statistics but I think about 3million people with a Finnish background live in the USA, Canada or Australia and most of all in Sweden. They are the people who went away from Finland because Finland was such a poor horrible shithole which offered no future. Who can blame them? But fortunately not everyone left and today Finland is one of the best places imaginable in the world. The lesson is that leaving a shithole keeps the place a shithole. Somebody must stay and make the place better.

Is this your opinion or based on some survey or study that is non-biased with stringent controls? if the latter, please cite.

If an Arab speaking person said about Canada, the US and Europe that we were identical, they couldn't tell us apart, and we all hated Muslims, would that be true?

You're assuming that the 50% that were allowed to stay somehow fit the narrow description of "refugee". These laws aren't being followed - they're being "used as needed" which is not the intention of a "law". Haitians (in the macro) do NOT fit the profile of "refugee".

Which this government ignores. Laws are only worth the paper they're written on when they are enforced. Just google "Article 3, 772.3.6 Petrolia" for example. Justin and his happy band of feel-gooders have turned our "toughest immigration laws in the western world" into a huge joke. "Walking over the border illegally? Tsk, tsk. Here's some money, healthcare, a place to stay and more money. Thanks for coming in against the law. Sincerely, The Liberal Party of Canada"

Me too, I find it unconscionable that we expect a borderless world through which our money can flow unimpeded but not human beings. Especially when the former causes so much of the latter to occur and as we knew it would.

I would. The time doesn't mean much. European countries also had colonies in Africa and Asia for short periods. WW2 spelled the beginning of the end for all colonial regimes in Asia. The US was no different.

"And why not? Are you trying to tell me that everything that one reads on the internet is all bull chit. " No, but "it's on the internet" is a stupid rationale for anything. Do I have to explain this ? I think you're being purposefully obstinate.

Specially all the cockamamie ones you love about Soros.

All good question GostHacked. Watching Ralph Goodale now on Power and Politics. It appears some "irregular" refugee claimants have arrived at the border with fake documents. Goodale alluded to the fact the feds are looking at the possibility of human trafficking. Just "alluding", not being clear and straightforward as has been the case with Liberals on this file. There was also an incident of a box of confidential documents disappearing from the temporary CBSA office at the Lacolle border. This thing is looking like a mickey mouse operation which could explode in Trudeau's face. http://www.journaldemontreal.com/2017/08/17/saint-bernard-de-lacolle-des-documents-confidentiels-disparaissent-a-la-frontiere

Trudeau has further muddied the waters by declaring that 'irregular' refugee claimants will be subject to Canadian laws and that acceptance is not guaranteed. https://ca.reuters.com/article/topNews/idCAKCN1B00M9-OCATP Nothing like a little ambiguity to confuse people.

The US defeats Spain in a war, occupies the Philippines and decides when and how it will get its indepencence. Sounds just like another colonial power to me.

The way he lied, bullied and insulted his way through the campaign and how he continues to keep fighting that campaign almost a year later could have something to do with it.

You. All talk, no action and you want the country to support your paranoia and hatred. Me: talk and action, reflecting Canada's tradition of humanity and compassion. You lose.

Its the principle that counts.

George W Bush must be laughing his ass off.

The only press that might remotely react like that would be Fox News. Not compared to how worse things are getting for a now badly rattled and apparently very un-united right-wing. Not even close.

No. Why and how on Earth you could imagine or even ask such a thing in light of anything I've said is a testament to your utterly warped and degenerate perspective. You are one very sick puppy.
