Perhaps Hillary Clinton is only now coming to grips with the underpinnings of her shocking 2016 loss to the very rude and crude Donald Trump, and she is paving her way to a comeback effort in 2020 that recognizes the obvious: uncontrolled/illegal immigration not only disturbs the body politic, it challenges the very definition of sovereignty, citizenship, legal residency, and borders. If governments cannot or will not control such migrations, then it brings into question the very notion of government control in general. Illegal immigration does impact the poor and working class who have to compete for lower wages and benefits. It is not difficult to find legal immigrants who are also opposed to the opening of borders to all the world's refugees and economic migrants.

Well, progressives must be apoplectic. According to a piece published on the NP site, Hillary Clinton now appears to agree with the proposition that migration and immigration are fueling nationalism and populism. Will she be working for Trump in the near future? For all the fuss made by progressives about Trump's views on immigration and illegal migrants, there might be something valid in Trump's position after all. If Hillary now gets it, however belatedly, can ordinary people (i.e. "deplorables") be criticized for reaching similar conclusions? I find the observation of the Italian politician Giorgia Meloni particularly relevant where she notes that Clinton appeared to acknowledge that opposition to migration was “not a problem of racism,” and that “if you don’t control migration it will affect mostly poor people, people living on the outskirts, working classes." Why has it taken otherwise intelligent people so long to figure this out? https://nationalpost.com/news/world/hillary-clinton-says-if-europe-wants-to-curb-right-wing-populism-it-must-get-a-handle-on-migration

Lol! Al Quds didn't even have a permit to hold a rally - and yet they're getting off scott free! https://torontosun.com/news/local-news/levy-city-bureaucrats-dither-on-hate-rally-report

Nope....just mocking the present dog and pony show from Ottawa.

Really ? So is Canada's Ivanhoe Mines Limited (Vancouver) leaving Myanmar and its close ties to their government and military ?

The accusation of fascism was serious, so here's another example of Trudeau's fascism, although it has nothing to do with the media: https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/international-doctors-group-tell-justin-trudeau-stop-persecuting-us-for-our?fbclid=IwAR2hxBQs8S8T9gzKBllLgQBqDq6CAGeDEyYBXaBNaAbWTzLW4dHhsgJapPI

It comes down to what Jesus said. "As you treat the least of us, so you have treated me." The primary purpose of a government is the welfare of its citizens.

Will that be enough he says....here you list 200 protest in Toronto, almost 3 million people and you got a whopping 200, what percentage is that again...All your numbers kind of support my point....it had to be storming those days of protest, or people just did not care enough to show up.... https://www.commondreams.org/news/2012/05/23/biggest-act-civil-disobedience-canadian-history Shit the G20 had more than all your protest numbers put together.....whats sad is your protests took place across the nation and maybe broke a thousand people....now that is sending a massage....Maybe try again.... WOW you were embarrassed….excuse me I have to sit down, I feel faint....because you were embarrassed of your government …..how do you think I felt....when my own government sent me there then forgot I existed....as well as our citizens.....what did you do when you got embarrassed, take to the streets, write an MP, go on social media and complain....or crack a beer and went on with your day, like nothing ever happened....and while you did all of this our soldiers were going back on average 4 to 5 times, for tours longer than 6 months each.... not because it was a cool place to vacation, but because Afghanis had no support from anyone else....and it was DND's mission...we never gave up not one fuc*ing day, how embarrassed do you think we were.... What do you think..... The question should read how many soldiers had to die until it's citizens care enough to act and have them returned....well over 160....with well over 1000 being physical wounded , and well over 180 suicides since we have come home...and today our soldiers still need to take our government to Court to get basic treatment....the same treatment as every other worker in Canada ….don't tell me they don't know, because it has been on every form of media I can think of....but like the story goes , nobody cares...sit down army guy, nobody wants to hear that shit no more....

Our progressive tax rate raises incomes for the bottom half and reduces them for the top half. Good. Considering the US has 10 times our population, I’m comfortable with that stat. If having fewer billionaires equates to having fewer working poor, we need fewer billionaires.

No, they were the first attempts at organized systemic stupidity. Practice clearly makes perfect.

No. Good for rich Americans. Even they won’t be spared if the planet overheats or the urban and rural poor who see their services cut react violently.

The swiss also have a massive army, one that is well financed and equipped....it also has a huge military industrial complex....and every male serves in the military , in one form or another until the age of 55....

Good, My point is, it does not matter how the majority of Canadians agreed that going to Afghanistan was a good move on out nations behalf...the point is that the majority did agree, and infact came out in the thousands to see us off, at 3 am....that is dedication to a decision....so my question is where was that dedication to get us out ? .... I think the citizens of Canada do own some of the issue that come with the state of our current military forces. there are thousands of examples of Canadian citizens getting off their asses and using their voices through the countless forms of media to drive home the point that "they" want things to change. And our current form of government knows that they must bend or change something if they want to get re elected....look at how fast that female killer was placed back behind bars....there are thousands of other examples of Canadians using their voice to make changes happen in this country.... There was at one time an unwritten rule, long since forgotten it seems by todays citizens that Soldiers would answer any call from our country, that they would gladly place their lives in the hands of it's citizens...our citizens would ensure that we would provide modern equipment to our forces so that they stood a fighting chance against our nations enemies....and that you would look after our families while we were deployed, or and finally you would look after us if we came back home wounded, or in pieces, be it physical or mentally, you would also look after our families if we did not come home.....in essence you would "always have our backs" They only promise that Canadians have kept so far is looking after our families if we did not come home, this happened during op Medusa when several soldiers had died in attacks, and one of the major banks here in Canada, decided to foreclose on a dead soldiers mortgage, refusing to pay out insurance because he died in a war zone....the wife and kids were told to hit the streets....It was here that Canadians stood up and in huge numbers told the banks this is not right....days later massive changes across all the banks in Canada made it possible for wives of our dead soldiers to at least have a home to stay in , paid in full by the changed insurance policies...and while not government related...the people spoke...You had our backs ... Now I can list a few more instances where national outcry did produce the purchase of desert cam fatigues, new jeeps, a few arty pieces, etc ....but only after countless soldiers had already died, only then did the citizens stand up and yell bullshit, forcing the government to take action....and the government listened...and small purchases were made... I don't know how else to explain it , with out your support and your voice our military will not change, nor will our vets be treated any differently....and if you chose not to support via your voice then you condone the governments course of action or thats the way our government reads it. So that by not acting your decision is by default and you share in that decision , and own all the consequences that come from that. I was implying that both the governments (liberal and Cons) did a shitty job in providing DND with the resources it needed to accomplish the job it had gave them....Next our own citizens did not push our government into action....we allowed them to go onto all the media outlets and brag how we are punching above our weight class , that we are pulling more than our weight, and in the coming weeks citizens would find out we had no desert camouflage uniforms or equipment....we were using open air jeeps to patrol downtown Kabul, and when soldiers started to come home in bags thats when the citizens rose up and said something....not before ,like I said already without your total support we die on the vine.... How can we on one hand say that we did not go to Iraq because it was not very popular with the people and then on the other say the people had no say in Afghanistan....Yes it was agreed by our government to support the NATO request, but to say that the people had no say in the Afghan conflict is bullshit...remember all the hoopla , parades , sending the troops off in the wee hours of the morning with thousands of citizens lining the streets...The people supported it....just not spending any money on it... They did listen....when your voices became loud enough and that was not until year 6 or 8, up until then nobody cared....except the soldiers getting blown up....You forgotten us in that dust bowl ...and if we wanted something done we had to do it ourselves….we built hospitals, firehalls, bought fire trucks ambulances, built schools through our own pockets or corporate sponsorship....ya all that hearts and minds stuff normally came from soldiers pockets....Now picture this if you will Canadian soldiers watching the Canadian news a day late because it was flown in....most of the topics in the mess hall where how could our own citizens forgotten us, how this was no longer a Canadian mission ….but a Canadian military mission, with no support from home or very little ....And then our own citizens question why the attitude , it is not our fault , we have no say or pull with the government...BS ...Try just for one day being a soldier with no support from anybody....

I would suggest a Convention For The treatment of Terrorists which sends them to an international tribunal hearing to determine if they are terrorists. Then they would be detained in an international prison until their sentence is served. The hearings would take place where the prison is. I would suggest a site where escape would be problematic. I think all terrorists should be tried and convicted and then detained by a neutral international tribunal process and incarceration system independent of national/state or political bias. I would also specifically address child terrorists in this law.
