Canada stood up to nothing....continue dealing with the Saudis....for far less.

Problem is this type of so-called journalism is spreading to almost all the outlets, be they on the left or right. The hyperbole attracts more viewership, as the news descends to what used to be call tabloid trash. The Enquirer. Even lower than that today has the mainstream become, where it has the potential to incite incivility. Portraying the police as villains, for example. During the Ford-Kavanaugh debacle, which incidentally is over now fellas... our Canadian media outlets, the CBC, CTV, many more, were practically broadcasting information about the sexual assault allegations non-stop, 24-7. I was disgusted by our Canadian media for force-feeding us this shit, and calling themselves the news. As a result I have lost a lot of respect, and trust, in the media.

according to this https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6300649/Caravan-migrants-swells-5-000-eye-US.html If they do reach the U.S. border how far will they go to stop them. If any of these people are hurt or killed it will play right into the hands of the Democrats. What makes these people believe they have a right to invade another country? and they are being organized http://time.com/5430436/migrant-caravan-mexico-guatemala-border/ The caravan doesn’t have any single leader but various activists are involved. After it crossed into Mexico, an international group called Sin Fronteras (Without Borders) has been helping it organize. While the Mexican federal police stopped the caravan going over the border bridge, they stood aside as people went over the river. However, the Mexican Interior Ministry issued a news release late Saturday saying that those who crossed the river illegally could be detained and deported.

The meeting that started the 'love affair' with the House of Saud. A Democrat...heh. http://susris.com/2015/02/14/the-roosevelt-and-abdulaziz-meeting-70-years-on-a-conversation-with-thomas-lippman/

Sure is worth it, especially to Canadian arms exports and sweet crude imports. How many Saudi high paying students in Canada...too many to count !

I don't think it particularly problematic for individuals to understand their own ancestry. However, I think it very problematic for a democratic state to participate in the promotion of collective ethno-racial and/or religious identities. The problem with so doing, which our feckless leaders seem unwilling to contemplate, is that when you weaponize identity for the sake of satisfying some you essentially grant license to all self-defined identity groups to similarly seek the promotion of their own interests. This creates an atomized society where groups are pitted against one another in the quest for advantage. Our leaders are either daft or disingenuous if they can't comprehend the relationship between promoting identity politics and the emergence of, say, white nationalism. The latter is logically related to and justified by the former.

So Trump owes her 976 dollars. That is 1/1024 out of a million dollars which Trump promised her if she can prove she is of native American ancestry.

IF the USA cannot lead , then get out of the way. And when we have things like the crash of 2008 that affected many that did not even live in the USA, that is where you will find the concern. If the USA kept their problems to themselves (rarely happens) then no one else would need to bitch about it. When the USA with Colin Powell lied to get into Iraq and affects other areas, that warrants concern from other nations. When the USA supports terrorist groups like Al-Queda and ISIS and dictatorships like Saudi Arabia...... hard to ignore it.

The notion of openness from the government is about as valid as the notion of needing change. Government does not care about either.

I agree.

Excuse me, but what do you think Canada has been doing to hold the Saudis accountable...stern scolding on America's Twitter ? Nope....delivery of amoured personnel carriers to Saudi Arabia continues from the defense contractor in Ontario...because...money. Saudi oil is still imported into Canada.

Taxme - You're not the "extreme" anymore. Maybe a bit excitable - but you're just expressing what many Canadians are starting to see. What our schools and media have failed to do is warn us how devastating socialism/Marxism/Communism has been. You only have to look at North Korea, the old USSR, East Germany and Cuba to understand. Their systems were - and are - so bad that they have to lock people in. They should teach it in schools - teach how Socialism - the Utopian attempt to make everyone equal - takes away the natural drive of the human race to better themselves - to want more for their families. Inevitably, it results in a population that says "why should I work when everything in given to me" even though that "everything" is far less than I should be able to get. It's a sick system - and inevitably, the ones in power oppress the population - to MAKE them work in all the government controlled industries.....and like all the aforementioned failed experiments - leads people to lives of unfulfilled misery - except for those in positions of privilege. Schools should teach this - the sweet smell of equality leads to the very lowest of common denominators - ruled by tyrants. With Capitalism - which has survived for over 500 years....the last burden to be thrown off is the poison of grossly, extreme individual wealth - and the solutions are well within our grasp. It's sickening to think that some people still think that Socialism is a viable alternative - in spite of the proven detritus of human misery that always leaves behind. Winston Churchill had it completely right - Capitalism is the worst - except for all the others.

I get the point about the National guards and that's what a militias should look like. My point was that those countries mentioned don't consider Bubba with a basement full of semi automatics to be a militia.

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. CNN was my go to source before I caught them using the riots in the States to make a profit instead of doing responsible reporting. Now that I know they actively deceive on a massive scale, all the time, I have no use for them. It's a laugh track. Honestly their talking points are preposterous. "Hillary is a saint, Trump is a misogynist". Hillary publicly ridicules women who were raped by her husband, it's unbelievable. That's something that you would catch you by surprise if you heard it in a trailer park. "My husband dint rape you, you nasty skank! Everbuddy knows you gave it up ta him fer a ride ta court. He just likes a bit o' strange is all. I git plenny on the side muhself, an sumtimes I git a couple o' free cigs ta boot!" Honestly there are legitimate talking points to get Trump on. He's a boorish egomaniac with a juvenile penchant for name-calling. That should be enough to keep him out of office, if he wasn't running against the traila hollera. "One woman's story should ALWAYS be enough to ruin a man's reputation for LIFE!" (As long as he's not a democrat, or a movie producer). Yeah ok CNN, I'm done. MSNBC is the home of anonymous sources and Russian Collusion. I have no use for them and Bob Woodward either. National news is a disgrace. I tune in for a few minutes here and there to see if they're covering something that Fox is totally ignoring, but I'm not a fan of stations that promote rioting, looting, arson, mob violence, etc.

Damn Hypocrisy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As bad as this murder is BUT It is appalling that there is so much international uproar for a single journalist killed likely by Saudi regime whereas the world (and many posters here) are SILENT about all those hundreds of innocent journalists and environmentalists and students and workers and union leaders and women jailed and murdered in Iranian jails by Iran occupying regime of mullahs or MADE suicide in jailed or tortured to death. DAMN Hypocrisy or what?? Is this mullah's oil worth so much that the European so called democracies are prostituting themselves to mullahs and the world remain silent and blind to Iran regime atrocities?

Anyone else find that the Google search engine is providing too much "A", not enough "I"?

We know that Trudeau can’t be part of a rational conversation about racism. He doesn’t even have an opinion, just a desire to be the world’s biggest virtue signaller. He’d call his own mom a racist just for a bump in the polls. “Oh look at that poor girl, smirking about her traumatic hijab incident! Canadians are scum!” Then when it’s a hoax, there’s no apology, he just doubles down against Canadians. Anyone he or his toadies pick out will be equally insipid. Honestly there’s nothing I could care less about than Trudeau’s opinion, or that of his useful idiots.

Of course, one has to assume the Trudeau government is only interested in hearing polarized, predetermined positions that are unaffected by reason, evidence, facts or rational thought, provided they bolster the government's predetermined positions and its identity politics approach to campaigning and policy. It looks like this "consultation" will be conducted within an echo chamber, a fact utterly consistent with the government's general approach to such issues. One side of the debate only, please!

Gosh, if only Canadians could "debate", rather than sticking to polarized, predetermined positions unaffected by reason, evidence, facts or rational thought.
