It's either obliviousness - ie. not recognizing that such things aren't politically feasible - or it's a strategy of "never giving an inch".

In law, it doesn't matter. In reality, it's quite unlikely to work on me. However, it does work on disaffected people who want to blame their pain on an identifiable source, who want to feel part of a 'clan', who want to act out their pain in violence and vandalism. That's the Trump appeal. He's the global signal for racial hatred now. The disaffected are feeling pretty potent these days, being on the side of the President of the United States of America! Just like Hitler's Nazi youth felt.

Load of hooey. The results of public education are not "dismal" at all. Canada's 15-year-old students among best global performers in science, math https://www.google.ca/amp/www.cbc.ca/amp/1.3883341 You have a privatization agenda. So go find me evidence that students in private schools have better achievement levels than public school students! I'll bet you can't: 1) Private schools may choose not participate in standard assessments (as publicly funded schools are required to do). 2) Even if they do choose to participate, they may choose not post the results publicly (as publicly funded schools are required to do). 3) Personal communication from a private school parent - They did the comparison themselves. - NO DIFFERENCE overall! They were quite shocked. Their schools were actually underperforming compared to public schools of similarly affluent communities. Don't push your privatization agenda in Canada, Cum Laude. Privatization would drag our kids down. I challenge you to provide evidence otherwise.

I edited and tried to answer your questions. I will tell you one sad answer I have no remedy for yet. I don't know how to discuss anti Semitism or anti Islam yet without it breaking own into a nasty hateful argument. Surely we have to have our governments encouraging inter faith tolerance. in a non partisan manner. More participation from inter faith councils is my best answer not mp's.

Les Baxter is another of those great lounge acts from the '50s-'60s... A lot of folks had this one.... ^^^

Abbe Lane and Xavier Cugat: Me lo dijo Adela and Susana y Yo

These songs from soundtrack of Blood Ties......

Yes, thanks to Klinton giving them reactors and a pass on complying with the no weapons clause

Plutonium, actually. China supplies the raw Uranium for NKs reactors (some Canadian help there)...but it gets turned into weapons grade Plutonium-239 @ Yongbyon. Yes...even 400km up as they'd just need a sample of the remaining fallout. Old school...shooting a sounding rocket would provide the details of the isotope soup present. Although spectro-analysis can probably do the deed these days...

Russia is still licking its wounds from the collapse of the Soviet Union. Economics trumps virtue...and might.

Same thing Canada got out of the British Empire...and still does.

Federal minister’s First Nation child welfare representative received $437,000 contract: but never mind, according to Trudeau all Native youth want is a place to store their canoes and paddles.

Mass acid attack in London, 8 injured... who the hell would do such a thing, and why.

From your article; This doesn't seem to jibe with all the complaining going on about how crappy our health-care system is. Perhaps doctors in a publicly funded system make better judgements about their referrals and have figured out that rushing things is largely unnecessary. That said, I seem to know a lot more people who've gone in to see their doctors because they weren't feeling well and were receiving heart surgery within days than people who've been put off until they die. It's obvious that the system can also move bloody fast when it needs to.

Islam is a religion and I posted the line in the Quran that encourages it (lying to infidels). Too bad 4 you.

Let me sum up again. Islamophobia is the "unreasoning" fear of Islam. I think that there's ample reason to suggest aprehension about ever greater numbers of Muslims coming into Canada is not unreasonable. The British government resisted the EU's open door policy towards Muslim migrants, despite the ferocious attacks on it by progressives and the media (although opinion polls suggest the Conservatives were reflecting the mood of the people). Nevertheless, some came in, including the two bombers arrested in the train bombing last week. Dozens of British citizens suffered burns and shock from that bomb, and only because it didn't function properly are they still alive. So were the people who were wary of accepting large numbers of Muslim migrants 'Islamophobic'? It does not appear so.

Yes...Islam encourages lying to the Kafir to further the faith's dominance over all others.

Islam regularly preaches death to all Jews and assorted Kafir. Even in Canada.

This jives with what a Muslim woman told me when I asked why so many of them lied to me - she said "It's because you're a woman. And because they can." She told me that they are free to lie to anyone that they don't feel deserves their truth or to protect Islam, which is a pretty broad category - to protect Islam. I'm not really certain this is correct, given the many forms of lying that is allowed in Islam, as shown in Betsy's post. Is this what "the religion" says, or is this just your interpretation of the verse? Becasue it seems there is not a lot of consensus in Islam as to what the correct interpretation of verses are, and all are free to interpret any scripture however they want. For instance, the wife-beating we were talking about yesterday - there are many, many interpretations of what that would involve, from a "light tapping" described on one site, to actual hitting with a stick (some websites say they are not to draw blood with the beatings, others say it's okay if the woman is especially disobedient.) They DO all seem to agree that smacking your wife is perfectly acceptable in Islam. There is certainly nothing that says they should never strike their wives. I would guess it's the same with lying to infidels. There doesn't seem to be a real consesnsus on what, how, and why lying would be permissible. It's nice that Dialamah's interpretations are benign, but to say that her above statement RE: lying to infidels, is official Islamic policy is disingenuous, IMO.
