Are you serious or are we not in Kansas anymore. Talk about people being elitist and thinking they are better than others.

Here's a link that shows the action- http://wkrg.com/weather/atlantic-satellite/

Nice image....thank you U.S. government NOAA and National Weather Service.

None. Can't you read? And I bet no one will stop you from wearing a turban.

Well I went and looked and can't find any evidence that churches are doing that. Maybe there is a church somewhere, but otherwise nothing.

I can't figure that one out. It's certainly a bit of a hot potato politically, but once he announced he was going to legalize pot, he should have at least reduced it to a misdemeanour while supply/distribution plans were worked out.

He knows perfectly well what he's doing but he's also a natural born sphincter so...

Only canadians will be discussed in schools, anything we canadians by default have done will be swept under the rug and forgotten. Remember most of the new canadians don't care about our history, just the check at the end of the month.

Why would you have any issue with people making Crown Royal in their basement? People are allowed to make their own wine and beer after all.

Agreed. He could/should have went to decriminalization enroute to legalization.

They should sell it through the LCBO outlets.

There used to be a lot of bootleggers, but I think a lot of us now are happy to buy our booze from the government store. I throw the receipts i the garbage can on the way out.

Oh yes they are. Go look under your bed. They are waiting for you. There are bogeyman on the internet? Where? Those people from the countries that I have visited can come here and visit anytime and integrate but no shouting "refugee" when they get here. So, what's your point? Where am I being a bigot? Are you alright, man? You of all people should know about bullshit. You keep trying to spread it here. Just saying.

No, but if you want to decapitate someone on a bus, you will walk away free in Canada.

Sorry, but Charlottesville is in another country...the United States...where such "lunatic" speech is not only legal, but constitutionally protected.

Yeah. That's why you're boring. It's the same "bigotry" and "Nazi" same-old rhetoric you spew. No one can say anything without getting labelled "KKK!" You must mean "the ostriches" don't know what they're missing. How can they know when they've got their heads buried in the sand? Ahhh...."xenophobes" must be the latest addition to your vocabulary.

Then run away from the discussion, because that's all you can do when faced with the historical and existing reality for "aboriginals" (God, what a term) in Canada. Palestinians actually have more political power over the West Bank and Gaza than do First Nations on "reserves". I understand that this comparison is an inconvenient truth, but the entire exercise is to demonstrate that anybody who supports or lives in the Canadian (or American) "regime" in North America now or in the past has no credibility when criticizing the nation state of Israel, which actually faces existential threats. Honesty begins at home.

By saying someone (Trudeau/the Left) has invited "terrorists" one is implying that everyone who isn't already here is a terrorist. That is bad enough, but because the disapproval is specific to certain groups, it becomes nothing more than bigotry. Nobody invites terrorists. To say so is a stupid hyperbolic remark, a simplistic attempt to engender emotional response and to create divisiveness. It's clickbait and has no connection to rational discussion.

Discovery Institute is to blame.

http://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/ontario-to-review-school-curriculum-as-student-math-scores-decline-1.3577216 Discovery Method is to blame.

MY Op is about math. Let's compare the PISA results of Quebec and Ontario in mathematics going back to 2003. These are the scores on the PISA tests for mathematics by 15 year olds. The higher the number, the better the score. 2003 Ontario 530 Quebec 537 2006 Ontario 526 Quebec 540 2009 Ontario - 526 Quebec 543 2012 Ontario - 514 Quebec 536 2015 Ontario - 509 Quebec - 544 As you can see, Ontario's performance in math is in steady decline. These are the PISA results that you cited. Why is Ontario struggling in math?

Can you clarify what you mean? Canadian students do well on international assessments, better in language than Math but still very good. http://www.cmec.ca/Publications/Lists/Publications/Attachments/365/PISA2015-CdnReport-EN.pdf https://www.cmec.ca/580/Programs-and-Initiatives/Assessment/Trends-in-International-Mathematics-and-Science-Study-(TIMSS)/Canadian-Results-—-Grade-8/index.html Ontario students did better than the national average on Pan-Canadian assessments: http://www.eqao.com/en/about_eqao/media_room/communication-docs/infographic-PCAP-highlights-ontario-results-2013.pdf Canadian adults have among the highest average education levels of any country. So I find your blanket statement quite odd. What are you basing that on?

From @dialamah 's link: Antifa traces its roots to the 1920s and ’30s, when militant leftists battled fascists in the streets of Germany, Italy, and Spain. [Local note: 1930's Toronto, Christie Pits 'riot' was Italian (ballplayers) anti-fascists backing up their Jewish friends (the ballplayers on the opposing team) against the intruding white supremacist nazi fascists.] When fascism withered after World War II, antifa did too. But in the ’70s and ’80s, neo-Nazi skinheads began to infiltrate ... and ... young leftists, including many anarchists and punk fans, revived the tradition of street-level antifascism. In the late ’80s, left-wing punk fans in the United States began following suit, though they initially called their groups Anti-Racist Action, ... these activists toured with popular alternative bands in the ’90s, trying to ensure that neo-Nazis did not recruit their fans. ... Trump ... For antifa, the result has been explosive growth. ... “Suddenly,” noted the antifa-aligned journal It’s Going Down, “anarchists and antifa, who have been demonized and sidelined by the wider Left have been hearing from liberals and Leftists, ‘you’ve been right all along.’ ” "right" in that fascism must be squashed.

https://www.google.ca/amp/s/thinkprogress.org/clergy-in-charlottesville-e95752415c3e/amp/ Meet the clergy who stared down white supremacists in Charlottesville This one is interesting too. The actions of clergy ... and Antifa. The white supremacists went there to do violence, did violence the night before their scheduled rally. They always deserve to be shut down and run out of town. And they are being shut down. I believe their growth is being interfered with.

Did you miss it?

Awwww ... is the poor baby Nazi crying as he punches and kicks and elbows his way through the church people?

We can always blame the Scotsman. But no religion claims any terrorists.

Peacefully blockading them and preventing their hate rally. If they are violent and attack the line ...

No. Letting Nazis spread hatred ... that's a disturbance of the peace. Chants, drums, music ... that's not disturbing ... except to the Nazis. Oh well.

Sounds about right to me. Hitler said we shouldn't have let them rally and spread the hate. On that now.

No, as the natural disaster in Texas is completely unrelated and would not have been mitigated had Trump never started the THREE YEAR process to withdraw from the Paris agreement. Not much empathy expressed here either. How many bodies would be sufficient to mount another attack on Trump ?

Not at all like The Justin visiting wildfire sites in Ft Mac and BC. Nope. Not at all. You mean the way our guy wants to try a little "'nudge nudge wink wink' to have non-White Americans Canadians prioritized over others"? Your "curiosity" doesn't even make sense. Sorry.

Says Islam's 9/11 apologist troother.

You misquote me. I oppose Islam. The thing you're too afraid to criticize.

Their words...

What is the penalty for leaving Islam under Sharia Law? Since you refuse or are too afraid to say as it will upset Islam. It is DEATH. They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause of Allah . But if they turn away, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them and take not from among them any ally or helper. https://quran.com/4/89

You're free to Dhimmi-up to Islam in hopes that it will behave differently here in Canada than it does everywhere else it goes. Others are free not to...right? Or must we all bow to the cult? Riddle me this? What is the penalty for leaving Islam under its own laws?

What are you on about? Islam is the problem globally. Not some lone poster at a forum noting its effects.

I don't have an agenda. I've posted here for YEARS.

Islam can rape our children and we'll apologize. That's the sad state of affairs...

1) President Trump has been visited by more world leaders than Trudeau, and Trudeau has been in office far longer. 2) NAFTA 2.0 is a direct result of President Trump's win. Trudeau/Nieto reacted to Trump. 3) Trump could never modify Trudeau's need for selfies with topless women. 4) Trump's buffoonery won him an election, defeating your sycophant candidate in a foreign country. Trudeau's foreign minister delivered a Canadian policy speech that specifically targeted Trump and the USA. Why ? Because U.S. policy matters more than Canadian policy. Trump acts...Trudeau reacts.

Because he got elected by doing both. Trump's travel ban has changed previous policy and flow of immigrants/refugees, with more adjudication in October. If most of it goes nowhere, then why did Team Trudeau react so strongly to Trump's policies and direction ? Trump acts...Trudeau reacts.

Of course Trump has, and in very short order. If moron Trudeau gets lavish credit for reversing Harper policies as "getting things done", then so does Trump vis-a-vis Obama. Trump led on NAFTA....Trudeau didn't/can't.

I disagree.... TPP - gone for the U.S. Supreme Court Justice - done NAFTA 2.0 - in progress Softwood lumber duty - pay up Canada...in real dollars ! Travel ban - partially implemented, refugees stay home Coal regulations - repealed...Mine, Baby, Mine ! Keystone XL - approved New Illegals - way down, fleeing to Canada NATO deadbeats - spending more DPRK - tough love Paris Climate Agreement - no thanks Sanctuary cities - show me the money Stock market - crazy highs Build the Wall ! - $1.6 billion expected soon in Congress Repeal Obamacare - close vote...let it collapse as designed

Unfortunately, bureaucrats at Aboriginal Affairs scrutinize every window purchase, delay every minor housing repair. It's a quagmire of 'oversight' and indecision. More local control is needed.

Forced relocation isn't legal.

The Americans can recruit soldiers from First Nations because of the Jay Treaty (1794?). US military recruiters were active in Canada during 2003. Thousands of Canadians have served in the US Armed Forces, including service in Iraq. So called "non-native" Canadians usually need to be US citizens or legal residents (green card) to join the US military, but the recruiters will shave some corners.

But we don't "bring our boys home"...not from Germany, not from Japan, not from Korea, and not from the Gulf. Every day is a day of national celebration. Freedom ain't free.

Parsing the obvious continuity of military action and purpose in Iraq will not make the policy go away. President Clinton's WMD speech before launching Desert Fox in December 1998 reads much like President Bush: http://www.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/stories/199...ts/clinton.html The US Congress passed the Iraq Liberation Act prior to Desert Fox, prior to Bush's election, and prior to 9/11: The Iraq Liberation Act of 1998 (Public Law 105-338) [1] (codified in a note to 22 USCS § 2151) is a United States Congressional statement of policy calling for regime change in Iraq. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraq_Liberation_Act The "regime" has certainly been changed.

No, the "Conquest of Iraq" was the continuation of UK/US foreign policy for Iraq going back to 1991: 1) Gulf War 2) No-fly zones 3) UN sanctions 4) Iraq Liberation Act (US Congress - October 1998) 5) Operation Desert Fox - December 1998 (Military attacks for "WMD" inspection violations / kill Saddam) ...all before President Bush was ever elected.
