I've been following this. Trudeau is heading out on the 10th of December to sign us on to this travesty. In effect the UN will control our borders and immigration policies, in effect we'll be surrendering our sovereignty to the UN. Yes, the MSM have remained overwhelmingly silent on this issue, undoubtedly because if the public understood what is at stake there'd be a massive push back against it. If you remember, before he was elected Trudeau stated in an interview with The New York Times that he saw Canada as the worlds first post national state. It looks like he's doing everything he can to make that vision a reality. If you actually read the agreement and cut through the weasel words it's very disturbing. They talk about how to control the media and punish those who do not support the approved message. Another plan that the UN has that dovetails with this agreement is their intention to move 450 million people from the third world to the first by 2050. I'm afraid that if Trudeau isn't turfed out next year his vision will become reality and Canada will cease to exist as anything we currently know. He's the greatest threat and enemy this country has ever faced.

Stopping the import of fentanyl is almost impossible because Canada lacks the policing (we have among the lowest police per population in the western world) border agency agents (the budget has been cut year after year forever) and laws (it's almost impossible to get any cooperation from the courts). In addition, of course, our federal government is obsessed with trying to please China to get more trade with them, so is not about to stand up to them in any public, meaningful way. As a result, China is ignoring the fentanyl production and its shipment to Canada. The opioid crisis and record-setting death counts caused by fentanyl flooding into Canada could get worse because of a growing diplomatic dispute with China, sources have informed Global News.Canadian law enforcement agencies have found that fentanyl and its chemical precursors are mostly produced in southern China factories and sent to North America via shipping containers, and in the mail. It’s a huge fight with China right now, and if you anger the Chinese they won’t work with you,” said a source, who could not be identified. “The fentanyl coming into Canada is going to get worse. Nothing will happen because we have to satisfy what they (the Chinese government) want.” What China wants, is freedom in B.C. to pursue alleged corruption suspects and financial fugitives, including a suspect accused of absconding with about $1 billion from a Beijing company. The suspect is laundering the money in Vancouver real estate, a source said, and using Vancouver as a hub to launder dirty money around the world. https://globalnews.ca/news/4658188/fentanyl-china-canada-diplomatic-tensions/

Our puppet-politicians here in Finland are going to sign this treaty. Meanwhile quite a numer of countries are refusing. Our cultural-marxist MSM is telling us that this is not a real contract and it is not going to bind us to anything. Yes yes, all the time and effort has been spent just for fun to prepare a treaty which binds nobody. Unfortunately some people actually believe that.

Now this should be an election issue, Why would we as a nation sign on to something that threatens our sovereignty , along with our own constitution, our freedoms, then again we have never really been big on those things anyways . No wonder citizens are voting for the extreme right with all this crap going on.....Was this even discussed in chambers, or is this just some air brain idea of Justin's to just sign us up without any discussion or study.....

I'm surprised there isn't a discussion on this or maybe I missed it. Either way even though most western countries are not signing on, Canada is and IMO, we should not. What is very alarming is the intent to define criticism of migration as 'hate speech' so would become a criminal offense. “Media outlets that give room for criticism of migration,can be shut down.“ https://www.spectator.co.uk/2018/09/the-war-of-the-world/?fbclid=IwAR3CYLDBEhqxZ_cghgQX_WA_KR3jKvNNdtPJnC8lcqpQHofxHFv9lvO2Ooc To properly understand the trend of world political events in recent years, it is essential to appreciate that a titanic struggle for supremacy between two implacably opposed ideologies is raging right across the Western world. It is an undeclared war waged largely behind the scenes. The attackers are powerful globalist and multi-national interests such as the EU and the UN, supported by many leftist groups funded, paradoxically, by mega-rich financiers. Their ultimate aim is the abolition of borders, migration between countries at will, the dismantling of national identity, the transfer of power to supra-national bodies, and eventually the imposition of a post-democratic unitary world government. The defenders are those who believe that Western-style democracy based on the nation-state remains the least-worst way yet devised of safe-guarding the life, liberty and prosperity of its citizens. Public awareness of the struggle is almost non-existent because, with very few exceptions, the free world’s mainstream media long ago aligned themselves with the globalists and have shamefully failed to Dutch politician and European Parliament member Marcel de Graaff https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lORLGL2no_U

What Westerners do not understand is the China is nothing but predatory in its business ambitions. They will do whatever it takes to come out on top. Things such as stealing IT is not some back room hacker kid out for jollies, it is a highly organized cadre of Red Army professional IT people hacking into every computer they can access in the world. Trade some cheap drugs for cash and it is a win-win....for China.

Because we'd have to trust that they ARE thieving bastards. It's not like the Chinese Communists have any honesty or integrity. They will use such freedom to make accusations against anyone who has opposed the party, or whose family has. And we're supposed to give them up based on manufactured evidence? And it's not like being a thieving bastard is actually against the rules over there. Their government is almost infinitely corrupt in every conceivable way, and so are all its senior bureaucrats and senior military officers. Which means when they come after someone for 'corruption' it's invariably over something else.

You're just a shill for the globalists, hombre.

As long as you are aware that your fears are not based on any actual, fact but perception only

Oh...and you can leave anytime. Ask the Brexit guys...

Exactly. I don't trust the U.N. one iota and all of those words are designed to appear benign but are not which is why most countries are now backing out of it.

The whole concept is to ‘help’ us “to distinguish free speech from hate speech” and media reporting that is not sufficiently on board with their plan cannot be tolerated. De Graff from in his speech says, one basic element of this new agreement is the extension of the definition of hate speech, which means criticism of mass migration can be prosecuted. Andrew Gilmour: "Words Matter: Role and Responsibility of the media in shaping public perceptions about migrants and refugees and promoting inclusive societies." “It is clear to us all that many media outlets are deliberately failing to promote the concept of common humanity,” and says that mass migration is a basic human right. All nice words which add up to stifling free speech https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1052923/UN-migration-agreement-Angela-Merkel-EU-criticise-migration-hate-crime

So, criticism of migration will become an extension of hate speech so will prosecuted as such. Though the pact is supposedly non-binding, it does establish the groundwork for an Orwellian type crusade to bind in stone, mass migration as a human right which would be legally, above any type of criticism. Sure they say it's not binding, but if it is as benign as the liberals would have us believe then why are so many countries refusing to sign on. I agree with the U.S. that argues such multinational agreements subverted the power of individual governments to control national borders. The U.N. Human Rights Office of the High Commissioner posted on its website a speech given Andrew Gilmour. The title of the speech alone shows they are not even trying to hide itheir agenda: “Words Matter: Role and Responsibility of the media in shaping public perceptions about migrants and refugees and promoting inclusive societies.” A primer on how to spread propaganda really.

Experts in the US auto industry have predicted a lot of things. That's why GM and Chrysler went tits up.

This is the act of a traitor to his fellow countrymen. Right-up this POS PM's alley.

As far as this place is concerned they came from you.

So that people can discuss the actual text, and not third-hand descriptions, it is here Regarding "criticism of migration becoming hate speach", and shutting down media, the actual text is this: OBJECTIVE 17: Eliminate all forms of discrimination and promote evidence-based public discourse to shape perceptions of migration 33. We commit to eliminate all forms of discrimination, condemn and counter expressions, acts and manifestations of racism, racial discrimination, violence, xenophobia and related intolerance against all migrants in conformity with international human rights law. We further commit to promote an open and evidence-based public discourse on migration and migrants in partnership with all parts of society, that generates a more realistic, humane and constructive perception in this regard. We also commit to protect freedom of expression in accordance with international law, recognizing that an open and free debate contributes to a comprehensive understanding of all aspects of migration. To realize this commitment, we will draw from the following actions: a) Enact, implement or maintain legislation that penalizes hate crimes and aggravated hate crimes targeting migrants, and train law enforcement and other public officials to identify, prevent and respond to such crimes and other acts of violence that target migrants, as well as to provide medical, legal and psychosocial assistance for victims b) Empower migrants and communities to denounce any acts of incitement to violence directed towards migrants by informing them of available mechanisms for redress, and ensure that those who actively participate in the commission of a hate crime targeting migrants are held accountable, in accordance with national legislation, while upholding international human rights law, in particular the right to freedom of expression c) Promote independent, objective and quality reporting of media outlets, including internet-based information, including by sensitizing and educating media professionals on migration-related issues and terminology, investing in ethical reporting standards and advertising, and stopping allocation of public funding or material support to media outlets that systematically promote intolerance, xenophobia, racism and other forms of discrimination towards migrants, in full respect for the freedom of the media d) Establish mechanisms to prevent, detect and respond to racial, ethnic and religious profiling of migrants by public authorities, as well as systematic instances of intolerance, xenophobia, racism and all other multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination in partnership with National Human Rights Institutions, including by tracking and publishing trends analyses, and ensuring access to effective complaint and redress mechanisms e) Provide migrants, especially migrant women, with access to national and regional complaint and redress mechanisms with a view to promoting accountability and addressing governmental actions related to discriminatory acts and manifestations carried out against migrants and their families f) Promote awareness-raising campaigns targeted at communities of origin, transit and destination in order to inform public perceptions regarding the positive contributions of safe, orderly and regular migration, based on evidence and facts, and to end racism, xenophobia and stigmatization against all migrants g) Engage migrants, political, religious and community leaders, as well as educators and service providers to detect and prevent incidences of intolerance, racism, xenophobia, and other forms of discrimination against migrants and diasporas and support activities in local communities to promote mutual respect, including in the context of electoral campaigns

There obviously is a cone of silence from our media anyway, on this, hard to believe that they are all in agreement with it. If the other western countries are rejecting this does this mean that Canada will have to take in their quota also? Here’s what our immigration minister said about it:

Nice eh. I wouldn't mind having one, it looks like a ton of fun. Not what we're getting for Christmas though. Actually what my wife and I are getting is much better. I have to head out to work now but if you want later I'll tell you about what we're getting, I think you'll like it. I forgot to add, I really like that it also shoots crossbow bolts.

Please stop with the anti-globalist paranoia. I know you don't mean to add to the problem, but it's causing huge problems for the world right now. Land use planning is as important as fighting climate change, addressing labour problems, and dealing with human rights. These things are often connected, but we are in a place where inaction or downright neglect is being promoted. There are very serious long-term consequences for such neglect.

New Urbanism isn't about stacking people in bleak Le Corbusier-inspired towers. It's about creating the walkable village where workplaces and amenities are close by. Look at places like Celebration, Florida or Cornell in Markham for examples. It's anti-sprawl, more environmentally sustainable, and provides enhancements over more traditional suburbs. For example, you tend to get water catchment basins that are made to resemble lakes with look-out gazebos, walking trails, that kind of thing. If anything, we have to make sure they don't just become luxury housing for the rich, so that a variety of demographics can live there: different ages, family types, income levels, etc.

If I was a dyed in the wool right-wing Christian I'd describe the accommodation of Christianity as being a defense against Islam. In the meantime I'm in a cafe overhearing a discussion about the powers that be crashing the economy so as to prevent us from finding out about the deep state's secret excavation of Atlantis, somewhere in Antarctica apparently. The separation of state and church almost seems quaint in today's world. Of course if I was a dyed in the wool deep state operative I'd be rounding up whistle blowers like me and..... Knock, knock, knock... Oh oh.

Trudeau clamped his teeth down onto his negotiating pillow in the 11th hour and signed what Trump told him to sign. Jean Chretien is an idiot.

Abortion is an undesireable thing and it is right to seek ways to reduce the number of abortions. However, the people most vehemently campaigning against abortion do a disservice to their cause by their sheer fanaticism and hyperbole rhetoric such as slaughtering the unborn. You may think like that but those who are on two minds of the issue are really put off by it.
