Oh yeah, I remember you. You're that guy. Just wait till... <Mueller Report> <Impeachment> <Tax Returns> <Putin> <Comey> <NK>

Merit has no place on the Left. It's ALL identity politics....a fancy phrase for racism.

People who think they are virtuous without exception are the problem here, not virtuous people who have been taken advantage of. The cult of the self overtook the selfless mindset that was the essence of the religiously observant. Your response has this phenomenon embedded in it.

Hey, don't interfere with people's fantasy with a little thing like real history. You take all the fun away around here. Or else how will they deny Trump's work, which deserves a Nobel prize on it's own merit, while giving Obama the nod for nothin. Even when it amounted to nothing for themselves, their families and people.

A warning to rioters and protesters: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Just Made Mobbing Motorists a Dangerous Affair https://www.redstate.com/brandon_morse/2020/09/22/desantis-riot-law/

Donald Trump just did something I unreservedly approve of. A lot. https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-trump-bans-u-s-from-doing-business-with-those-who-promote-harmful-far-left-critical-race-theory

Perhaps...but with talk of yet another impeachment attempt & stacking the supreme court, they can spin their wheels and froth at the mouth on TikTok for all I care.

Yes, those links are definitely explaining well the issue here in Québec. It's just atrocious to think that's on the table. Just to give you a little highlights; -Fatso Arruda said Police should come into homes without mandates to verify if the peasants respect the rules about COVID that the ruling class imposes. He retracts a few minutes later in the same interview, saying he is not a legal expert. -Minister Dubé says, a few hours later, that it won't happen. -Then, Minister Guilbeault, who openly and candidly said that Québécois have to be 'docile' in her own words, says that Police may not come to houses without mandates to verify the peasantry's obedience, but still has it as a backup plan if they decide to go full on nazi mode. This is ridiculous. That's another step to dictatorship. No one will come to my place, no one, without a mandate or an invitation. If someone tries, it's gonna make the news.

There were no insults, you shrew, nor ad hominem attacks. I returned the level of respect he gave me, just as I always do with you. Both of you, being on the far left, despise anyone who disagrees with any of your sacred views on social welfare policy. It infuriates you and you instantly think the other person is evil and guilty of all kinds of thought-crimes. I cited a guy who was the head of immigration Canada and can be presumed to not only know everything about the system but not be biased. You completely ignored him. Marcus works for the immigration industry, likely for one of those legion of unethical immigration consultants. His whole job and living depends on mass immigration. Of course he's not an unbiased source. But because he agrees with you you're outraged I'm not agreeing. But then you're never interested in facts or evidence because your far left political views cause you to make every single discussion about your noble motives vs the evil motives of anyone who disagrees with you.

Anyone else notice that the leftists on this forum have engaged in some kind of "Operation Klauswitz" of late? Burn the papers, comrades...

Hunter Biden received a $3.5 million dollar wire transfer from the widow of the former mayor of Moscow and other wire transfers from Chinese nationals.

A stupid man 'became a billionaire'? You mean 'a stupid man was given $400m by his daddy'. Then he preceded to lose it all in a series of bad deals to the point he told his daughter as they passed a bum on the sidewalk "See that guy? He's worth $900m more than me." The man who's a genius but whose own sister said he paid someone to do his college entry test (and probably paid someone to write his exams too), and who has threatened his high school and colleges with massive legal suits if they dare let anyone see his marks. The man who claims to be a billionaire but won't let anyone see his taxes.

It's like they think they have enough votes to confirm...or somthin'....

What colour am I?

"what he said" ... ie. grab them by the p***y Such blindness, such an inability to empathize. I am glad there's an ignore list on here.

If they're refugees trying to escape war, why not both? Anyway, because of fears about Jews, similar to the ones you express about Syrians, we refused to take Jews. Maybe we could work at being a better country now, instead of repeating our past mistakes.

The Nazis thought the Soviet & French Partisans were terrorists as well.

When people abuse other people for their virtues, they stop doing it.

Let's face it. Corruption. It's in the Liberal's DNA. Anyone who still support them after all these things we've seen in the past 3 years must find nothing wrong with that at all.

Oh man. We've been over this before. You keep regurgitating the same selective half truths and your bizarre way of looking at who comes into our country. If a family immigrates to Canada through the most common way, under a skilled worker program, the main applicant will be assessed to meet a minimum requirement, which allows him/her to compete in a pool with others. At the moment, there are 150,000 people in this pool (and growing) and once a month, between 7-9,000 people are selected to apply for permanent residency. This means that 95% of the people who are in this pool are not selected. You receive points in from Age, Work Experience and: Education In order to get into the pool, a person's education must be verified. This means, that a few handpicked organizations, first, check to see if your school falls on an internationally recognized list of post secondary institutions. Then, they contact the school to verify that the person is on their registry. The pool has become so competitive, that a person applying from outside of Canada, now must have at least 2 post secondary credential. Language Each main applicant must also take an internationally recognized English or French test and achieve a minimum score of 6 out of 9. However, if you want to have a real chance of being in the top 5%, and be picked from the pool, you cannot score less than 7.5 out of 9. Not simple. Dependents of the Main applicant The principal applicant's spouse and dependent children under 22, can be part of the application. The problem with your article ---> """ And yet only about 17% of immigrants come in because of their skills. """ -------> """ And yet only about 17% of immigrants come in because of their skills. """ ----------> """ And yet only about 17% of immigrants come in because of their skills. """ The article (and you) are outraged that the rest of the family of the principal applicant is not being assessed for their skill. How can you try to make this argument? Are you expecting for the 2 children of Dr. Muhammed Ghaboollah, 5 year old Muhammed Reza Ghaboollah and his sister, 7 year old Zahra Ghaboollah to be assessed for skills? What if their mother is a stay at home mom? She should not be allowed in because of that? Oh yeah. It's about demand. The Europeans, people who you feel comfortable being around, are not that interested in coming to Canada. No more than a once every 15 years, as a tourist. You're wrong about the quota. That's if you're talking about permanent residency. Regardless, for temporary residency, you'd be wrong as well. Permanent Residency When it comes to Permanent Residency, outside of spousal sponsorship and refugee claimants, which are a very small portion of our immigrants, the applications are merit-based and location is not considered. That said, due to the advantage Temporary Residents from certain areas of the world receive, the end result is that there is favouritism based on the origin of the applicant. Temporary Residency These are international workers, students and visitors. Before they come to Canada, they need to file an application. Except for those wanting to come to Canada as a visitor, from visa-exempt countries (Europe/US/Aus/etc.); They simply submit an online registration to receive an eTA. The rest of applicants, regardless if you're from a visa exempt or non-visa exempt country, must file an application. By simply looking at the numbers, the origin of the applicant does make a difference in the outcome. There is a heavy tilt towards the Europeans, Aussies/Kiwis, Americans, Japanese, Koreans and Taiwanese, as far as the acceptance rate. Even though, the qualification of the applicants remained the same, frequently, you don't see consistent results between different visa offices. It's more than blatant, the favouritism you see towards those from Western countries. An example of a usual outcome From my experience in the industry and from studying case laws, I can give you a comparison of two general cases based on the origin of the applicants: 1) You have Helen, from Austria. She is 23 and has received an acceptance to a mid-tier college, for a diploma program. As required, she is able to show that she has access to enough money for the tuition and living expenses for 1 year. 2) You have Zainab, from Pakistan. She is 23 and has just received her bachelor degree in computer science. Now she wants to pursue her Masters in Canada, after receiving an acceptance to a mid-tier university. She has paid the tuition and can show access to more than the cost of living expenses for 1 year. Outcome Helen receives a positive response and Zainab receives a negative response. Helen from Austria is now able to come to Canada, to pursue education. Once she completes her education, options open up to apply for Permanent Residency. Zainab from Pakistan will not. There is your favouritism. Why you gotta hate?

You're reaching and you're being dramatic. You're also not able to stay on the topic you responded to originally. You have now gone on a tangent, and are outraged at "the sudden surge in crime, because Canada let in Syrian refugees." The problem is that these feelings you have are detached from reality. These feeling are most likely due to the fear of the unknown, which stems from being disconnected from the other people. I don't know why, but it could be because of your location and your lack of access to and communication with people from different cultures and background. You're also being influenced by social media memes that feed on your fears in, what is, an echo chamber. That's how most search engines and social media platforms' algorithm work. Like facebook, where you have indicated, you get most of your information from. I just can't relate to your fears. One of the main reasons is because, for most of my life, I have lived in communities with a mix of different cultures and ethnicities. There is a lot we can all learn from each other. One thing that I've learned is that pretty much everyone, regardless of religious or ethnic background, is looking for the same thing: A healthy, happy and secure future for our families and fellow people. Why you gotta hate?

No, but we will see more letters with ricin from Canada.

Nope. The Arab Palestinian Cause was the created by Haj Amin al-Husseini...Arafat's uncle who worked for Hitler's SS during WW2. One of the instigators of the Final Solution. His terrorism against Jews living in British Palestine led to the formation of Haganah which became the IDF and small Jewish terrorist groups like Irgun and the Stern Gang...both defunct and decimated during the 1948 war. Irgun met its final end at the hands of Haganah...but I don't expect you to know that....being fed bullshit all your life.

Whats a little ironic, is you "may" of voted liberal twice already extending Justin magical mystery tour and are just waking up now.... After the damage is down... anyway welcome back.

Its Trumps fault, apparently, for trolling them. Poor liberals...

Trump demonstrates that peace is better than the mexican standoff these people were in. I like that he has cornered Iran, put them off their game, and that he showed them restraint. I like that he dropped John Bolton, and the reason why. Looking further back, little rocket man has been so very quiet lately. He has reduced the risk of war, and may have even averted war, more than once.

It was the DEMOCRATS that changed the rules...from 60 votes needed to a simple majority. McConnell warned that they would regret the day they changed the rules to try and give themselves advantage. Well, now here's that day.

where do you get this stupid azz idea that Trump is out to destroy democracy anyway? It has been the democrats that have been trying to destroy democracy in America for decades now. Geez, you need to stop listening to CNN/MSNBC for your lying and fake news. Try listening to FOX NEWS for a change and try to get the other side of the story that the MSM do not want you to hear or learn or know about. Why are there so many people out there who are only to willing to listen to one side of the story and not the other? Are they afraid that they might have to finally think for themselves and what they have been told for decades that was untrue and maybe they now have to do something about it?

The shopping cart is the ultimate litmus test for whether a person is capable of self-governing. To return the shopping cart is an easy, convenient task and one which we all recognize as the correct, appropriate thing to do. To return the shopping cart is objectively right. There are no situations other than dire emergencies in which a person is not able to return their cart. Simultaneously, it is not illegal to abandon your shopping cart. Therefore the shopping cart presents itself as the apex example of whether a person will do what is right without being forced to do it." "A person who is unable to do this is no better than an animal, an absolute savage who can only be made to do what is right by threatening them with a law and the force that stands behind it" "The Shopping Cart is what determines whether a person is a good or bad member of society." Anonymous

Sounds like McConnell has 51 votes. Game over Dems.

And here i thought all liberals worked in a whore house, now i find out it's just their sisters.... the things you find out on the intra net ..... Must of got tired of smoking Justin's weed and seen some of the light, well not enough to save your sister, but enough to see Justin for who he is...

Never happen. Geography makes sure we're joined at the hip.

You have answered your own question....Canada and many other nations are allied with the United States precisely because it hasn't fallen, and is the best option for economic, cultural, and military integrations without "falling" in the future.

All religions can have some nutty beliefs. For example here's an animation in music of some of the nutty thing Muslims believe: The Doctor being attacked for her religious beliefs here got her medical degree in Nigeria. She practiced there and was accustomed to prescribing Hydroxychloroquine for malaria. She practices in America now. Her claim is as follows: https://heavy.com/news/2020/07/dr-stella-immanuel/
