It belongs to the great white christian people that built it and died in wars to protect it.If we give in to your ideas,this country will become a cesspool, like every other country that is not run but white christians. Sorry if that offends you, but you don't deserve to be able to live in a country like this. When the war cemeteries are filled with non white people,then I will listen to what you have to say. If your way is so much better, you would not being trying to leave your dump of a country and come here. You need to learn some respect.

British people are but the example of immigrants that should be welcome in this country. Their values are compatible with Canada's. They're also allies.

The other cool thing about Cassini-Huygens was the multi-national cooperation for the very expensive Flagship mission, compared to smaller New Horizons or Discovery class missions. NASA budgets got squeezed badly, and there were cost overruns for the Webb telescope. NASA, ESA, and ISA (Italy) partnered for what is arguably the most successful orbiter-lander mission ever achieved. Vacation photos from Titan

Yep...that must be it.

Jooooos.

Because these things continue to this day....First Nations land remains occupied, exploited, and dominated by Canadian federal, provincial, and local government on a scale that dwarfs anything Israel has done. I'm not sure why you continue to reject and ignore this comparison and reality. Example: Most of British Columbia was never ceded by treaty...it is an "occupied territory" then, now, and in the future. Even its name reflects this imperialist history and present day reality. But Canada is "getting away with it" on a colossal scale compared to Israel, and has done so for much longer. Why is Israel being held to a different standard ?

Canada continues to occupy stolen land on a scale that dwarfs anything Israel could possibly imagine. Racism runs rampant in Canada at the federal, provincial, and local levels for "aboriginals" today, just as it did for many other groups in Canada's past. Israel is the size of Victoria Island....Canada became the second largest country in the world through imperialism, conquest, subjugation, occupation, exploitation, murder, starvation, incarceration, and continued domination. At least Israel has the decency not to call Palestinians by an insulting imperialist slur...."ABORIGINALS".

I shed a tear today for Cassini. I remember following the launch when I was a kid and the arrival at Saturn when I was a teen. It's basically been around for as long as I can remember, returning fascinating science. I hope its fascinating discoveries are followed up on with future spacecraft some time soon.

Again, there is no consensus. Skeptical Science is a blog utilized to promote an agenda for personal gain. That is unconscionable. Like All Gore owning carbon credits. If there was a consensus..ie proper scientific protocols were used to show a certain set of data...we wouldn't be having this conversation.

No, Zul-Fiqar is right, Canada does not belong to any single race or ethnic group. If X%of the war cemeteries are occupied by white folks does that give me (a white folk) equivalent % of the country now belong to me? Will we pro-rate who this country belongs to based on ethnicity (and lord knows what else; Religion perhaps) of war-cemetery occupancy? Sorry if you are offended, but I personally believe that the folks in war-cemetaries died for elfin everybody without regard for ethnicity or religion of those everybodies. Or maybe they didn't? Maybe some died for White Christian Canada only and the rest of us can do our own dying? And what chance have Zul-Fiqar and others who are non-white christians to fill up our war-cemeteries when white-nationalist bigots bust their ass to makes sure no one but white christians ever get to live her? No chance whatsoever, of course. So White Nationalist Nazi types will be able to point and say 'see? ... well, yah , that particular grave has a non-white Canadian in it, but thats only one! Look at all the crosses, man! Oh, yes, that one too over there..and, yah ok, there's some others scattered about. But they didn't die for White-Christian Canada obviously. " Actually he does. Deserves it just as much as you deserve it. Proven by the fact that you are not six-feet under in a war cemetary.

To be fair to dialamah, there is no confirmation yet that this was an Islamic terror attack. But who yah gonna call??? That's right.

Believe it or not, I've just discovered Columbo.......and can't get enough of it! I alternately watch Murder She Wrote and Columbo - one is a whodunit, and the other is the reverse cat-and-mouse format.

I watched a documentary showing a huge amount of manufacturing has moved from the U.S. to China in the last number of decades. They believe at the present rate, China will surpass the U.S. as the economic superpower within 20 years. Trudeau admires the system of China. It is a totalitarian state that does no recognize human rights or democracy.

Yes. Been more idiot conferences after that and they still remain fixated on failing to wipe the JOOOOZ.

Canada does not need anymore refugees, we need less. Canadians cannot afford them anymore. They are a burden on everything from our social and medical services, the environment, infrastructure, and pretty much everything else. What Canada needs is more people from Britain, Europe, and Australia because those people are culturally compatible with the ways we do things here in Canada and can fit in easily with no problems. If anyone needs to be sent back is all those refugees that keep coming here unannounced and walk right on in. They are already criminals for entering the country illegally. That is not the kind of immigrants Canada or Canadians really need. We all know that the native Indians would like to see everybody who is not an native Indian gone. I would pity them if we all left the house to them. They would be screwed without the British or Europeans making life still easy for them. But hey.

So, why doesn't Canada and other western countries boycott those countries that do bad things to their people? Sounds like a good plan to me, and makes a whole pile of common sense and logic something our puppet on a string politically correct politicians do not have or have no clue about. Or if they do know then it is no wonder that Canada is in bloody debt and headed for a big financial fiasco. When we the people are finally allowed to be heard and can get to make the decisions has to how things should be done, then the country should run a lot smoother, and get back on track. But for some reason politicians prefer to be the boss, and not the slave, and they want to run the show and dam the consequences. Canadians need to start laying off some of these fools that are running and ruining Canada along with dumping those special interest groups who are only in it for themselves, and are not there for the good of Canada or Canadians. It's time for some tough love.

That provided deep in depth thought and clearly lays out the evidence for your positions.

Climate Change.....burn the mutha down.

I hope that I am still alive to see the day that some country lands men on Mars. I will be cheering as loud as I can about it also. Mars would be far more interesting to go visit than the moon. I await.

Once in awhile, when the wind changes, you can hear the whining ie. "subsidize us". Trudeau has to keep the resource industry going even if they hate him irrationally for being French, basically. Look, farm equipment and such has had exemptions in the past and there's no reason to think that wouldn't happen with such a change. As for 'the rest of Canada'.... Toronto subsidizes you 11%, so it's basically a giant welfare state. https://www.fraserinstitute.org/sites/default/files/SharetheWealth.pdf And we have to beg for a few billion for a decent transit system because 'the rest of Canada' hates us... but not our money.

If people in that country are re-starting their lives and rebuilding has begun (just like in Haiti)......... it's time to go home, folks.

See now my view last night when I was reading that stuff was, assuming the person was real, here is someone from India or whatever and he wants to speak out. He should be allowed to say what he has been feeling. That way we can all hear it. Besides, it could be useful to have some Muslims on here to give their voice. Real Muslims, not a pretender who might be from another board, which the name shall not be revealed, who came here to flame us because he is banned and cannot log in anymore, because he tried to delete all his posts.

I can't believe how many people are responding across multiple threads to an obvious troll. Would the moderator please delete this guy and all his big blue posts?

Turkey's accession into EU faces many multi faceted challenges as the European power houses namely Germany and France (UK debateable with the Brexit looming) do not recognise Turkey as part of Europe. 95% of Turkey lies in Asia Minor. With a majority a strong Muslim country and therein the remaining 5% (Istanbul) lying on the hub EU uses the Turkey's accession only as a bargaining power for negotiations. Cultural values of Turkey is different from Europe. It doesn't matter what support other countries like Poland put behind Turkey's EU membership as they do not have the economic and political influence in Europe like Germans do....Besides the Poles may be facing different challenges with big boys which is why they show solidarity with Turkey....That is of course based on an opinion formed after talking to many many French or Germans.
