It's funny how many Trumpists keep bleating about the Clinton foundation, which has been investigated almost non-stop for decades by frenzied Republicans, who have found nothing. After all, the Trump foundation is still under active investigation, and its fraud seems kind of blatantly obvious. I mean, you set up a charity and then use the money to fix a fountain in front of your building and then pay for paintings of yourself to go in your golf clubs? Geeeez.

Anyways...Trump can take care of himself. My target this year is our own ISIS loving Prime Minister. You can either help me remove him or side with his likes. No matter to me.

You don't seem to understand. You dislike Trump. I ENJOY that Trump makes you and others UNCOMFORTABLE and lose your freakin' minds daily. BC and I surly agree on this point. How's your blood pressure? Can I do anything to help raise it?

Alas, Trudeau lied to all the illegal cannabis consumers...they really wanted to believe him.

...and that's a good thing. President Trump may be a bastard, but he is our bastard.

I've been wondering about the common interests myself. we'll never know, Trudeau is the most secretive PM Canada has seen so far. He lies more frequently than he changes his cute little kiddie socks. This is a shot of the good chums sharing their mutual interests. Too bad he couldn't find time to meet with the families of the Canadians who were beheaded by terrorists. I guess they had nothing in common with him.

Is that like calling everyone you disagree with a 'leftist', or an 'idiot', etc.

Aren't they? Has Islam suddenly become gay friendly? Are Islamic attitudes towards Jews gonna change now that Islam plans to dominate Canada?

How do you know this? There are lot's of things going on behind the scenes that we are not being made aware of yet. The deep state is deeper than anyone ever thought. Apparently those medical boots that Hillary and McCain have been seen wearing are apparently covering over monitor ankle bracelets just so those two scumbags can't leave the country. It's funny how they both just happen to have those medical boots on at the same time, eh? And there is another congresswoman wearing a boot also. Maybe Trump is starting to drain the swamp. Hey, you never know, eh?

You are classified as enemy. It is up to you to change thank. Highly unlikely. You've chosen to side with Islam...this is your choice.

You're free to pretend you'll do something.

Seriously...our doors are open. We give our country away to those that would seek our death in their home countries.

Trudeau shows his true Islamic colours. This privileged piece of filth is the enemy.

Quote this morning on CBC News: "I think the level of freak-out is already pretty high these days..." No shit.

President G.W. Bush was ridiculed and mocked relentlessly by many Canadians, who only now have convinced themselves that President Trump is even worse. In the end, American administrations develop and execute policies with responsibilities that Canada just doesn't have, and probably never will. Trump is just another U.S. president.

Transit planning is pretty poor in North America compared to Europe.

Same member doubted that Trump world ever become president...not so prescient: "A holes" ruled the day.

I don't believe Iran or in fact most of the world understand the western concept of "democracy". We in the west often automatically think other parts of the world, like middle eastern countries should understand and embrace our concepts of democracy. But I think they don't understand and perhaps think we are wrong. Our system is not widely embraced in the world. There is even some valid points that our system does not always produce good results or good decisions.

Barnum and Baily were amateurs.

Well, Washington has Amazon and Microsoft and Boeing. Those three companies, by themselves, exceed the GDP of all of Canada. And they're all headquartered essentially in one metro area (Seattle). So I think Seattle can handle a $15 minimum wage a lot better than Ontario can. That said, some studies have shown that even in Seattle, the higher minimum wage has reduced the number of entry level jobs available. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/06/26/new-study-casts-doubt-on-whether-a-15-minimum-wage-really-helps-workers/?utm_term=.8e9835810e66 Details: http://www.nber.org/papers/w23532.pdf Extract from the conclusion: Our preferred estimates suggest that the Seattle Minimum Wage Ordinance caused hours worked by low-skilled workers (i.e., those earning under $19 per hour) to fall by 9.4% during the three quarters when the minimum wage was $13 per hour, resulting in a loss of 3.5 million hours worked per calendar quarter. Alternative estimates show the number of low-wage jobs declined by 6.8%, which represents a loss of more than 5,000 jobs. These estimates are robust to cutoffs other than $19.60 A 3.1% increase in wages in jobs that paid less than $19 coupled with a 9.4% loss in hours yields a labor demand elasticity of roughly -3.0, and this large elasticity estimate is robust to other cutoffs. These results suggest a fundamental rethinking of the nature of low-wage work. Prior elasticity estimates in the range of zero to -0.2 suggest there are few suitable substitutes for lowwage employees, that firms faced with labor cost increases have little option but to raise their wage bill. Seattle data show – even in simple first differences – that payroll expenses on workers earning under $19 per hour either rose minimally or fell as the minimum wage increased from $9.47 to $13 in just over nine months. An elasticity of -3 suggests that low-wage labor is a more substitutable, expendable factor of production. The work of least-paid workers might be performed more efficiently by more skilled and experienced workers commanding a higher wage. This work could, in some circumstances, be automated. In other circumstances, employers may conclude that the work of least-paid workers need not be done at all. Importantly, the lost income associated with the hours reductions exceeds the gain associated with the net wage increase of 3.1%. Using data in Table 3, we compute that the average low-wage employee was paid $1,897 per month. The reduction in hours would cost the average employee $179 per month, while the wage increase would recoup only $54 of this loss, leaving a net loss of $125 per month (6.6%), which is sizable for a low-wage worker.

While I do not support Kevin J. Johnston's brash approach to raising awareness regarding political Islam, he recently hosted the main author of the book Submission: The Danger of Political Islam to Canada (free copy attached) Thomas Quiggin. Placing Kevin J. Johnston aside, Thomas Quiggin explores where Canada is heading under Justin Trudeau: Additionally, here is another (earlier) video with the same author giving a Conference with Raheel Raza (who provided the forward to the same book) at the 2017 Manning Center Conference in Ottawa in February of 2017: I would like to point out that a number of users on here... -Michael Hardner -eyeball -?Impact ...consistently derail threads with spam and rhetoric which contributes absolutely nothing to what should otherwise be a focused dialogue regarding an issue which is not only present in Canada, but almost all Western democracies (France, Sweden Germany, Australia, Britain etc.). Sweeping dismissals such as discrediting individuals due to their associations, character assassination, ad hominem, confusion about what racism actually is etc. without evaluating the merit of the content itself is simply bigotry and I invite all to dismiss it as such. All posts of this nature will be reported as spam. The credentials and backgrounds of the authors can be found in the book attached below. Muslim_Brotherhood_in_Canada.pdf

Funny guy. I think that you do have a fine sense of humor. But just in case you are serious about this you do realize that the loss of daylight happens every year somewhere on earth due to the change of the seasons? Shocking to know this, eh?

Really ? Forced depopulation is an extreme action against all people....the entire HUMAN RACE. Now that's "racist".

The Taliban allows conjugal visits and provide for pre-nadal care for their captures. How nice of them.

We the people need to demand that trudeau steps down, he has proven without a doubt ,he is not fit for office and needs to be replaced.

The brain trust is gerald butts, who destroys everything he touches.

What's the big deal ? "Democracies" like Canada and the U.S. routinely have protests and riots (some violent) as a matter of course. Let the Iranians fight it out just like everybody else.

Again you provide no credentials of your own, and no real response to the OP. Why not admit you are a truthophobe without anything to support you but citing Sharia anti-blasphemy laws? Open dialogue starts with staying on topic, and you have yet to do it. The document and sources are comprehensive, regardless of who wrote it and what your prejudices are about them. If there is something specific in the document you contest, put it forward. Otherwise sweeping statements just allude to your prejudiced and partisan stance on the issue, which isn't helpful in an open discussion.

From the attached document: Thomas Quiggin, MA, CD Thomas is a court-qualified expert on terrorism (criminal court and federal court) and has had his expertise on the “the reliability of intelligence as evidence” recognized by the Federal Court of Canada. He has also testified as a court expert to the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada. He was a Senior Fellow at S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies at the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. Thomas has 25 plus years of practical intelligence experience in a variety of positions. These include the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (NSIS/INSET); the Bank of Canada; the Canadian Armed Forces; the United Nations Protection Force in Yugoslavia; Citizenship and Immigration Canada (War Crimes); the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in The Hague, and the Privy Council Office of Canada. He was also a qualified arms control inspector for the Conventional Forces in Europe Treaty and the Vienna Document. He has also testified to a Senate Committee on intelligence matters (The Kelly Commission, 1998); the Air India Inquiry (2007) as well as providing testimony to the Special Senate Committee on Anti-terrorism (2010) and to the House of Commons on 25 March and 28 May 2015. Thomas holds a Master’s Degree in International Relations and is a certified knowledge management practitioner. He has also provided three training sessions to the Canadian Department of Justice as part of the special advocates program with the focus being on intelligence and evidence. Thomas also has been a guest lecturer at the Canadian Police College with the lectures on terrorism and intelligence. He has spoken at various conferences in Europe, Southeast Asia, and Australia on related matters. Thomas has authored many publications on security and terrorism matters in Germany, the Netherlands, the UK, USA, Canada, and Singapore. He has previously published a book on national security titled Seeing the Invisible: National Security Intelligence in an Uncertain Age, (2007, World Scientific). Now what are your credentials, other than believing "Islamophobia" is a legitimate term that can be thrown around to silence critics of political Islam? Regardless of his credentials, in the document provided he provides over 900 (pages 461-549) independent sources for every single claim he makes. Did you check them all? No, because you haven't even opened the document, and rather demonstrate your pro-Sharia sentiments of trying to discredit individuals based on nothing but sweeping statements trying to close down the discussion. Are you part of the Muslim Brotherhood responsible for that term? Why not just admit you are a pro-Sharia anti-democratic shill with absolutely zero respect for open dialogue? Is it because you are a truthophobe? How much more obvious can you make it?

They associated with a guy who was married to a terrorist supporter, who sought her out even though it was known she was a religious fanatic, and who took his pregnant wife into Taliban country reasons anyone would have a hard time believing. It is clear Boyle and his wife had converted to Islam, and likely they were going there to support the Taliban.

Merriam-Webster Definition of racism 1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race 2 a : a doctrine or political program based on the assumption of racism and designed to execute its principles b : a political or social system founded on racism 3 : racial prejudice or discrimination eyeball's neo-liberal Definition of racism 1 : a belief that criticism of any socio-political entity open to all races which an individual(s) "doesn't like" has a racially motivated undertone 2 a : a sweeping response to criticism contrary to the belief(s) of a neo-liberal resulting in their feelings being hurt b : a political or social system founded on views opposing a bigoted neo-liberal view 3 : prejudice or discrimination according to neo-liberal values 4 : generic term used to decry something he/she does not understand I tested the link and it works fine for me; the link must be being racist for you if it is not cooperating. "Extremely biased" is relative without justification. My intention is not to "debate", it is to discuss - I don't take a default hostile position as you do. The credentials of the authors are provided in the document attached, as the original post indicated. I'm assuming you read neither the post nor the document. Stating Tom Quiggin is a know (sic) far right "Islamophobe" with made-up credentials is attempting to use an illegitimate sweeping term to discredit him, just as motion M-103 is designed to do in order to shut down criticism of political Islam, which is a Sharia-motivated motion. It has become clear to me that your use of the term "Islamophobe" as if it is a legitimate term suggests that either you are pro-Sharia, or ignorant, or both. No socio-political ideology should be protected from criticism. "Islamophobia" is a meaningless term; upon understanding the doctrines of political Islam, there is no irrational fear given the hundreds of millions of people dead as a result of political Islam's employment of various forms of (both military and on-military) jihad. Thank you for outing yourself as pro-Shara and anti-freedom-of-speech. Now the forum knows you are a "truthophobe" regarding political Islam; see both sides can play that game, and it gets nobody anywhere, just as political Islam has got nobody anywhere but in a state of suffering/death.

No, first you guys have to get rid of the Charter and SCC....the two most dangerous lefty Deep State Jihadist institutions on the planet.

I've been led to believe that in countries such as Iran and Turkey the difference between big cities and the countryside is huge. In Tehran and Istanbul you can hardly see any difference compared to any Western-European city. In the countryside of both countries it is very strict adherence to muslim-values.

So far I've been impressed with what I've seen of Scheer during question period. Trudeau is constantly outclassed by Scheer, to the point where he has that deer in the headlights look about him every time Scheer questions him. Singh doesn't impress me, especially since his bizarre rant about having better hair than Trudeau. That one did it for me, he should never have stooped to such vane childishness. He basically placed himself on the same stupid and shallow level as that currently occupied by Trudeau. As for May, well there's nothing I've seen so far from her that gives me any reason to consider her at all. That's not even counting her demented Khadr outburst.

You are either doing real well or are full of shit. I own a company also and paying that would kill me. And paying some snot nose kid 15hr , is a crime. It is not a living wage nor should it be, that is the lazy man's way.

Is there anything I can get you? A beer perhaps?
