I suppose this guy will somehow end up with a 10.5 m cheque when the government screws this up.Anyone with a brain knew this guy WAS taliban and not a hostage, when it came out. And being the former brother in law of Omar, you would think this would have sent up a red flag. So either the RCMP are either stupid or trudeau's love for everything Islam over rules everything. You do not take your 6 month pregnant wife on a hiking trip in taliban land. Trudeau should be stepping down after this fiasco. Enough is enough.

Undoubtedly. Of course as Argus pointed out already you are bringing facts to a discussion that isn't based on facts.

There are just some people here that just don't get it, and probably never will. Just by how Islam treated the feminist/lesbian Premier of Ontario the way they did a few months back should tell them or anyone else with an ounce of brains that Islam will never accept diversity or multiculturalism or how things are done in Canada. Muslims want Sharia law and they will not be happy until they can get it allowed and be practiced in Canada. In some cases Sharia law has already been implemented in some cities in Canada. Give them an inch and they will surely take a yard if allowed to do so.

True...getting their feelings hurt is part of the liberal democracy experience....nothing special about Islam / Muslims. Being mocked and criticized is the price of admission.

I am tolerant of anyone or any group as long as they do not try to push their programs and agendas on others. I only offer up websites that have something truthful to say and report real news, not fiction or fake news. The Right Edition website is one of my favorites because they are very honest in their reporting. You will only read or hear the facts as to what is happening without any prejudice or bias or the promoting of any hatred or violence towards anyone. M-103 should never have been allowed to have been discussed in the first place in the halls of government. There may have been some Muslim feelings being hurt at times but they need to live and get over it just like Christians who have to live every day with attacks and the mocking of their religion by, of all religions, Islam. Hollyweird will never attack Muslims but they have no problem attacking and mocking Christianity. Muslims call anybody who is not a Muslim an infidel. The Christians do not call Muslims infidels, now do they? But did you see anybody in the Christian religion trying to bring a motion forward to match the M-103 motion? Nope, and you never will. Christians do turn the other cheek something I think that you should try and explain to Muslims seeing that you appear to have no problem backing them up all the time on no matter what they say or do. Just saying.

The environment, gay/transgender rights, 3rd world immigration, native Indians, and being pro-Islamic seems to be what Trudeau and his merry gang of leftist lieberal buffoons is what Canada is all about today. I would not want to be anyone in Canada trying to open up and trying to operate a business. With so many rules and regulations, high taxes, carbon taxes, environmentalists, native Indians, forced quotas to have to deal with it is a wonder there are still people who are able to start up and operate a business here in Canada. Canada should be a power house when it comes to creating millions of jobs but instead it would appear as though Canada is anti-business, and having people to depend on the government for their survival seems to be what politicians are all about. Bringing in the hundreds of thousands of 3rd world immigrants that will not really offer much in the way of creating jobs except maybe for themselves and their family members only also. Would you go work for one of these new immigrants if they were able to open up a small business? I doubt that you would. The working conditions would be terrible. If we had real pro business political leaders and more entrepreneurs in the government and less school teachers and environmentalists and pro multiculturalists there might not be two million unemployed Canadians in Canada today. Just saying.

This is just a personal observation but I've noticed that you do try to shut down discussion when you don't like what's being said. Perhaps you don't notice yourself doing so, but it is quite obvious. Sadly I have to disagree with you. I feel the poster should be able to say whatever he wishes. That's just me though, I don't agree with restricting free speech for those I disagree with.

Fake news goes viral for a number of reasons, not the least of which are confirmation bias and also the fact that the vast majority of people who share news stories don't read anything past the headline. There's also a strong contingent of people, whom we both know, who are utterly incapable of critically evaluating the credibility of a source. They don't understand the difference between substantiated and verifiable facts and arguments and conspiracy theory nonsense that has zero credibility and no substantiation. Your counterpoint at one time was, "some of that stuff has turned out to be true," but the fact of the matter is even a broken clock is right twice a day. If you throw enough crap at the side of a barn some of it is bound to stick. What should be clear is that we evaluate credibility so we can have a reliable look at what's going on. Wild-ass hypotheses stated as fact are completely unreliable. So you combine click-bait headlines, confirmation bias, and the desire for some people to believe they're smarter than everyone else because they think they've found some top secret information that the ever elusive "they" are trying to hiding from mainstream media--those things all combine for a giant clusterf**k of misinformation and propaganda being shared within echo chambers online. Some people are so divorced from reality that they will deny factual evidence when you show it to them. They will completely ignore the patterns in the data. Some even get angry at having their propaganda-filled assumptions challenged. The Allegory of The Cave has never been more apt. One of Trump's people recently went so far as to say, "there's no such thing as facts." This exposes a critical misunderstanding of postmodernism and deconstructionist theories. When social scientists or humanities scholars say that there's no "truth," they're not saying there is no facts. They're saying that there are many perspectives on those facts and different meaning ascribed to them. There are many "truths" experienced by those facts. Trump's people saying there's no such thing as "facts" is the rallying cry of propagandists who don't want people evaluating the facts the Liar in Chief, who objectively is the least truthful politician ever seen in American politics. They are literally arguing that they can create their own reality and stunningly ignorant people buy into that wholesale. This is what the attack on intelligence and academia gets you. Mind-numbingly stupid people, who buy into the notion that you get to pick and choose what is real and what isn't. And that's how you get fake news going viral.
