Greetings Sir Humphrey! Whether you think it is about slavery or state's rights depends on where you're from, and also possibly if you're white or not. Like I said above, I think the debate is silly--state-sanctioned violence rarely begins for one reason. Part of that reason was that northern and southern Americans hated each other by the 1860s. The civil war itself did not create that sectional rivalry. Today, the south is still more economically "raw material" producing than the northeast. When you have a place that is more industrial depending on a place (or region) that produces the raw materials, the former prospers and the latter is left less powerful politically. Slavery is to blame for the economic backwardness (Alexis de Toqueville wrote of this, apparently) but not 100% to blame. To this day, when slavery is not legal, the south is still economically backward, and not all of that can be blamed on slavery or the destruction of the civil war. I checked up on the passage of the civil rights act of 1964. These are the vote totals on the final Senate version of the bill: In the Senate: Democrats: 46 yes 21 no Republicans: 27 yes 6 no In the House of Reps.: Democrats: 153 yes 91 no Republicans: 136 yes 35 no There were 54 days of filibusters in the Senate, led by a bloc of eighteen southern Democrats, including Strom Thurmond, and Robert Byrd of WV (14 hours, 13 minutes). So I would call it a victory that both parties could claim.

Probably the most Caucasoid person here is me if this is the case Caucasoid people came to West from Caucasus region which is placed at Euroasia, in today's Russian territories. A Muslim Chechen guy is the original Caucasoid, not you.

Well if we canadians don't wake up ,we will lose our country our traditions and it will become a cesspool.

There are other ways to help people besides importing them to Canada. They can also be helped by providing appropriate aid in their homeland. Obviously if that's not possible they have a case to become a refugee, but otherwise we should be selective in allowing too many people in as refugees who don't properly qualify. That is misguided if not blatant abuse of the system, and it's not in the interests of Canada.

Don't know about the sky falling, but taxes sure are rising. Gotta pay for all this crap some how dontcha know.

Sine many people call Argus names on this board I am the first to repost the above with the date Sept. 20, and say it took the CBC, BBC and who is it the Star 3 months to catch up with him? Lol. Kudos on being so dead on. That said, the news now being passed out as if its something new no one was aware of I find strange. People have been putting money off shore in the Cayman Islands, Bermuda, Isle of Mann, Switzerland, Venezuela, etc. to avoid tax for centuries. No war could have been waged without Switzerland existing as the banker of wars and refuge to place the money of dictators in. My question is why the story broke on this phony Trudeau only yesterday about the fundraising practices. Moreneau was cearly the tip of the iceberg and someone is leaking crap not just about him but the US Secretary of Commerce, the Queen of England, on and on. I notice someone is leaking info. The question is who and why. Who is carefully orchestrating and leaking this alleged news which is not news, just a reiteration of what everyone should be aware of. The finances of the elite have always been reinvested in tax shelters. Everyone of us knows tax laws are such that if you have money you can afford the best lawyers to find the loopholes and create the loopholes through financing politicians and this supposed latest leak no only destroys any semblance of posturing and credibility Trudeau had but numerous past Tory ad Liberal politicians, the Trump administration, and Putin and the Russian mob and their ties to the Bank of Cyprus. Now who stands to benefit from this latest cycle of tax shelter news which is hardly news? China? North Korea? Who did the leaking this time? Someone is orchestrating a deliberate news leak. So the question is who and why. That said, if anyone could not figure out Trudeau is a two faced lying sack of @#$% good for you. This notion this trust fund rich boy and a product of the elite was a man of the people was hilarious. Hos boy Morneau is more right wing than any Tory. He's been a champion of tax shelters of CEO's since he has been finance Minister. This lying sob's posing as caring about tax shelters attacked the lower and middle classes quite deliberately and someone has now exposed them but shown what we all know-today's investments follow shelters around the world dodging tax in specific jurisdictions. Nothing Bronfman did raising money for the Liberals is something not done before. Its been done by every bag man for politicians across the democracies since the creation of banks. Its world-wide and involves cliques of elite circles of financiers playing their networks to keep moving and reinvesting funds. The question is who is NOT dirty in the sense of avoiding tax? The poor do it working under the table, the rich do it through shelters. My question remains, who is now doing the leaking and why?

Political Correctness gone nuts - Pathetic Trudeau is now calling Jihadis “Returning Foreign Terrorist Travellers” so let’s pay to reintegrate them so they can lose their terrorist feelings. Sure, give em a hug and it’ll all go away.

At 6, I didn't even know what my penis was for. 13 I knew what was up sexually, and most 13 year olds do.
