Mr. Trudeau has failed Canadians due to his lack of vision. Such uninspiring leadership should come as no surprise, since the man has no prior experience. All he can do is suggest another tax, with no explanation of how it will help to solve the actual problem. Andrew Scheer has at least proposed some more progressive ideas. In addition to making carbon reduction technology profitable, his plan also embraces the reality that Canada's CO2 contribution is dwarfed by countries like China. There is no point in punishing ourselves by wasting taxpayers money on a futile endeavour that accomplishes nothing.

Yes, we get it. You do not like Islam being talked about in a bad way. You will defend it to your last breath. You will demonize those who do want to discuss it. If your sister chooses to do nothing and say nothing about the problems, that is her choice.

^^^ I rest my case. ^^^

If Muslim reformists like Hirsi Ali says these things are a problem in Islam and you insist they are not, who do I believe? Hirsi Ali and ones like her who have actually lived it or you - who visited Egypt (as a TOURIST) a couple of times and are desperately trying to defend your sister's religion? Do I believe it when the media is reporting daily attacks on Christians or do I believe you, who insist they are nothing to be concerned about and that the media is lying just to make Muslims look bad? You insisted that Christians are loved by Egyptians and treated well. Reports say the opposite. Who do I believe?

Nope. Based on much more than the actions of 6 people. This is just another example. You're one of the ones who has consistently bleated that Muslims bear absolutely no responsibility to counter terrorism in their midst and anyone who thinks they should be dealing with it is an Islamophobe.

What makes you think that people should automatically discount something this stupid from Trudeau?

The reality is, Jews cannot rely on the good graces of others, first they fled the Russian Czar for the sanctuary provided by the Kaiser, and fought with valour for what was at the time, the most progressive European empire, but we all know how that went upon German defeat by the Anglo-American blockade. If Zionists are hardliners, it was the gentiles who made it so, and in terms of self righteous Canada, when the chance was there to give the Jews sanctuary, virulently anti-Semitic Liberal Prime Minister Mackenzie King said "one Jew is too many", so Canadians played their part in driving the formerly Ottoman Arabs off the land as well. Canada is not just a racist Apartheid state, Canada is a racist anti-Semitic Apartheid state, as it all generally goes hand and glove. As a North German Protestant, I uphold Martin Luther as the father of the Enlightenment, none the less, even Martin Luther became a raving anti-Semite in the end. The Enlightenment of course, still being a work in progress, striving for a more perfect union, in the land of the free and the home of the brave, Canada being a quasi autonomous colonial protectorate therein.

Lol say British mandate. I prefer to remember the Zionists and for that matter Palestinians that fought in British units in WW2 and were as good as the Rhodesians in desert warfare. Like all wars, WW2 and post WW2 conflict with Britain and the Zionists had ulterior financial motives, ugly ones and soldiers and homeless people on both sides as well as innocent people on both sides died for sand. No one who is a Zionist cherishes the history but we have to remember it. Hell not much has changed other than soldiers have been and will be asked to die because politicians have ulterior agendas and they use soldiers to enforce it. So excuse me again if I think of all the crosses on Mt. Scopus from WW1 instead of extremists. That cemetery is in the middle of Hebrew University of Jerusalem where I studied history of conflict one summer. The guy who taught me survived Auschwiz and had been in the Irgun. I just turned 17 and lectured him on extremism. He said something to me then that only sunk in 25 years later. I think back I can't believe how patient he was with me.That guy did not hate British or Palestinians but his life made him believe on certain issues he had no choices. Someone like me has choices because people like you and him assured that gift. That is why I don't condone extremism or justify it and push myself and others to think and make choices precisely because we have the gift of being able to do and if for no other reason so you do not think you wasted your efforts. You did not and I will focus on your efforts or Army Guy's not some idiot who speaks only for himself. Hey I might not agree with all you say but I sure as hell defer to your efforts I just believe people like you carry too much shit around that you shouldn't have to years later not because of anything you did but because of what politicians failed to do and some of us won't take the time to remember with non judgemental listening.. The vast majority of soldiers are honourable and focusing in on malcontents should be kept in perspective so as not to smeer the memories of all the good honourable men and women who died or sacrificed.

I haven't been here long enough to know if you're a leftist but "a level playing field" argument is a leftist argument and it does NOT work. Yes it sounds good and on the surface and would seem that nobody but a hardcore capitalist would argue against it. But look, from a purely systemic point you can level the playing field but the playing field will never be level regardless. That's because there are people who just perform better than others. Some people have vision and the drive to make those visions reality while some people just don't have that. I firmly agree that there should be no barriers to being a productive, if not successful member of society, other than your own abilities and your drive and desire to succeed that is. But if you don't (as opposed to simply can't), then why should I be financially punished so you can have a lifestyle you didn't earn and don't deserve? The problem with the level playing field argument is basically what leftists actually mean is equality of outcome, NOT equality of opportunity. The other issue is us in general. By us I mean human beings. Because of the nature of the beast, everything we do as a species has an environmental cost. And ironically, the worst offender is most likely modern medicine. As a result of modern medicine, humans were able to produce a population explosion, despite having fewer kids per couple. But because people live longer and fewer people die before they get old, that means that every year there's always going to be more people with a need for the earth's resources than there was the previous year. That means economies have to continue growing as well. That's what capitalism does, builds and grows. A so-called kinder, gentler capitalism won't be able to supply the continuously growing masses no matter how much we wish it could. I'd like to go further with this but it's almost 5AM now and I should get to bed sometime before sunup.

Sure. Why not spend billions and billions more and bring in tens of thousands more people with no job skills, education or language skills who will live their entire lives on welfare? What could go wrong?

Seriously? Where? Not in the mainstream media, that's for sure. The internet? You think any substantial percentage of Canadians are reading these kinds of posts on the freaking internet?! And even if they were, where? The biggest social media forum on the internet is Reddit and I invite you to go there. You'll find that the Canadian forums are PAINFULLY woke and progressive, and that the slightest hint of 'racism' or 'intolerance' will be instantly banned. And they have a VERY wide interpretation of those words. You people on the Left continue to believe the entire population is made up of brainless sheep, and that any suspicion of Muslims or thought that there is too much immigration must have been put into their silly little heads by evil, far right propaganda. And if only you can shut down that propaganda people will go back to munching grass. What you cannot seem to grasp is that this is rising from what ordinary people see and experience around them in their daily lives, and from what they hear and see through the media. And it is that rising sense of discomfort and frustration with the rising number of immigration which in turn is inspiring groups like La Meute and Pergoda. And as long as politicians ignore those wishes and keep bringing in millions of immigrants that frustration will grow into anger and continue to spread. I asked for the names of fascist and white supremacist groups and their numbers. I didn't ask for confirmation racist white people exist. Only an idiot would try to deny that. So quit moving the goalposts.

This is exactly it. But does anybody actually share these stories under their real names ? The ones I see that do are 80 year old doddering fools. Taxme (nice name) has an anonymous moniker for his fake outrage.

And yet when we actually did have such groups the authorities DID give numbers. I believer the last one died out a dozen years or so ago and had... a dozen members or so. Not much to be afraid of there. Well and why do you imagine two thirds of Canadians told pollsters they felt immigrants weren't assimilating fast enough if not worries about how it would affect our culture? Why do you think almost half said immigration was changing Canada in ways they didn't like? Such sentiments are widespread among Canadians because the politicians have pushed immigration for purely crass political reasons in order to cater to ethnic groups and the raw numbers and percentage of the population continue to grow. That doesn't concern the Left because they don't give a damn about Canada's history, tradition or culture. Half the time they deny we even have one, the rest they condemn us for our politically incorrect history. None of that is remotely like white supremacy or fascism. If you think that's fascism than two thirds of the population is fascist. You still don't understand that the reason for the rise of anti-immigration sentiment is due to the rise of immigrants and the feeling that there are no rules on them when they arrive, no effort to integrate, that, in fact, the left, the government does its best to persuade them not to. The law in Quebec will make Quebecers less concerned if they feel that things are more under control.

In detail: The Yellow vests rally AT CITY HALL every Saturday, WITH A PERMIT from the City, joined by increasing numbers of militant out of town hate groups (3%rs, Sons of Odin). They are often opposed by Trans and other activists, who were, instead, at the park for Gay Pride that day. So the haters went there and joined the sex-repressed and -obsessed religious wacko protesters there, protesting, mocking and attacking Gay Pride festival goers - at an afternoon family-friendly event. A woman in a pink niqab was smashed in the face by a man wielding a helmet. https://www.thespec.com/news-story/9440409-calls-for-crackdown-of-hate-groups-after-violent-rally-targets-pride-hamilton-celebration/ A number of Pride supporters carried a large black fabric screen to shield celebrants from the hurtful slogans on signs such as "Jesus Opposes Your Pride Repent" and "Liberal Commies & Homo Fascists Destroying Canada & Our Children." One witness — who requested anonymity out of fear of reprisals — said the ['religious'] protesters started advancing toward the people holding the screen. "They clearly were gearing for a fight and started attacking people and the things started escalating from there," she said. [The complicating factor was that Police got their feels hurt because Pride would not let them put a recruiting booth in the Park. So ... ] In a statement, Pride Hamilton criticized how police responded to the volatile situation. "Upon reflection, we feel that much of what happened yesterday could have been prevented by the Hamilton Police Service." ... "The operational plan discussed on Thursday was not put into place and it took far too long for police to respond to the escalating situation created by the protesters." ... Green, a former municipal politician, took aim at civic leaders for allowing the yellow-vest rallies in front of city hall to fester for months. "That's why we have this situation where can now have individuals get together as a group or to a festival and incite hate." I did not see any police in any of the videos circulating. City and police seemed initially to be blaming Pride, but got a LOT of backlash for that. Changing their tune a bit now ... Hamilton is a bit tolerant of rough-and-tumble, but hate is a different issue: I am reminded of this 'social experiment by university students a few years back: https://www.ebaumsworld.com/videos/when-social-experiments-go-right/84337051/ Homie got it right! Lol But CITY PERMITS with their implied POLICE PROTECTION for HATE GROUPS are drawing the creeps here from all over the province. I believe Toronto/John Tory stopped giving the hate groups permits and police protection after the New Zealand massacre. Hamilton and all communities need to as well. And Matthew Green is right: Police need to start documenting to lay charges for Public incitement of hatred. https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/c-46/section-319.html

Just because you disagree doesn't make me wrong or you right. Scheer is a religious white racist as is most of his base. He is a US style Repugnican with all the warts and pus that carries with it. See how the Repugs have ruined the US and attacked human and civil rights and ask yourself if you want to open that door when you know what is behind it? PM Milquetoast is a national disaster to be certain. Scheer and he merry band of religious nutbars will be worse.

Think again...
