I doubt the government will do any screening. In practice, we have no standards any more. Canada has become a haven for terrorists from all over the world.

Common sense would be great, but frankly I'll settle for someone who isn't actively working against us

How can I put it mildly without being accused of bigotry..... These refugees (likely most if not all) will not be compatible or adoptable like Ukrainians.

No this is par for this government we paid out little omar 10 million dollars , for his terrorist activities... why not continue the tradition of importing terrorist, Actually Canada has long been known for its harboring terrorist...This is Canada we like no we love terrorist here... I wish they put in this much effort into bringing back friendly Afghani's that help Canadian soldiers during that conflict... I can't wait until this government falls, and we get in one that hopefully has some common sense...

This is the kind of info that is mout really, ...nobody cares if the person is liked or not...what matters is how many Canadians are going to vote for your party...in this case the Conservatives have a huge majority lead in the polls as of today...and for many reasons the majority of Canadians are sick or feed up with Justin...my pet hamster could outperform Justin in the polls becasue of that very reason....and some of those that voted NDP are most likely parking their vote or voting conservative for those same reasons... At the end of the day, providing Conservatives do not step on their own di*k , they will be the next government...Now will anyone like PP after election, who cares...to be honest i will be judge him by his performance, i don't envy him at all , Justin has coc* a lot of things up and it is going to take a long while to fix all of that.

Wow, crapping on a guy because he's adopted. And because his wife is foreign. How would you know, you're in quebec.

Are you honestly gonna say that to Robo every time it's true? Just put it in your signature. It will be accurate 99% of the time when you're talking to him, and the other 1% of the time, it will still be accurate.

I reckon that this 2024 election will not change anything. ==== True, you Americans have two old, Huge Egos - facing each other.

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/1/31/canada-trudeau-denounces-anti-vaccine-trucker-protests Trudeau is a liar and a disgusting hate monger. There were a hundred thousand people taking part in demonstrations all across the country and he's educing them all to what couple of people were not even credibly accused of.

well if you feel that way post some new and exciting insults about him Dude, we all know you vote liberal

Are you comfortable and prepared to import hatred and antisemitism? Bringing in 5000 Gazans will guarantee that 100%. Are you willing to accept the responsibility for supporting that decision? The dancing in the streets of Toronto on Oct 7 and shooting at Israeli schools and firebombing synogogues etc? You can explain why these Jewish families have to live with more of that. All for what? Why can't Arab countries take in 5000? They sure as heck would never take in any Jews.

Canada screens people for health/disease and past criminal record (according to the government records of their country of origin). For refugees, nothing else than that. Most Gazans are taught in school and from their parents from a young age to hate Jews and Israel, to cheer their deaths and Hamas. There are many Arab neighbours perfectly capable of taking in Gaza refugees. Canada could help refugees escape, provide humanitarian aid, transportation, possibly provide temporary refuge. The number of permanent residents from Gaza that Canada should accept is probably zero, unless there's some method of weeding the good from the bad, which there isn't. Canada should be in the business of eliminating racial and religious hatred from its society, not importing it. If Arab countries couldn't take them in it would be a different situation.

Taxme, although I won't turn the debate on race entirely but I do agree the values most Canadians believe in (equality for women, freedom, secularity, minority rights, freedom of religions, etc.) may be at risk.

These thousands more Palestinians will bring their hate with them, and they will do their utmost to spread it on Canadian soil. They believe the entire world should revolve around the neverending plight of the Palestinians.

Has a Starlink dish on their igloo

Learning from mistakes is the key, IMO. Appreciate your thoughts here, though.

The point is to let the nurses know he's off his meds again.

This is nothing compare to what I have heard. I have heard of cases (true or false I don't know) in which patients were diagnosed with cancer and had to be on waiting list for a long time. By the time they got to the top of the list cancer spread and it was all over and died. Many Canadians die due too medical errors too. https://www.guelphtoday.com/spotlight/medical-mistakes-are-the-third-leading-cause-of-death-in-canada-5787771#:~:text=The statistics are alarming.,die due to medical mistakes.

Australia, whom you insist we should mimic, uses the westminster system. You're not exactly making yourself look knowledgeable at this point. So here's what it's looking like to me. You have absolutely no education or understanding of this political systems involved or how they work. But somehow somewhere you read that other places have fewer representatives per person and you got it in your head that means we're paying for too many. And now that someone has questioned why you believe that you're not able to give a good answer because your original thought wasn't founded on anything but repeating something you heard somewhere else. Look, lots of people make that mistake. But if you're going to be taken seriously by people who actually think you're going to need to be able to defend your positions a little better than that. One MP for every approximately 100,000 people has worked very well for us for a long time. If you can't explain why it would work just as well with one for every 200,000 then there's no reason to change it. And yes, democracy costs money. If you want cheap you have to go with a dictatorship

I call that you're clearly illiterate. SHOW ME WHERE YOU ANSWER THE SIMPLE QUESTION "WHY SHOULD WE HAVE LESS". Anywhere. The fact other people have less means nothing. Australia and the us could easily say they should have MORE. Make your argument or admit you're a loser who can't think his way out of a paper bag. You can't just say "cause austrailia!!!!" and call that an argument. Why is ours too many and why isn't theirs too few.

And yet when you talk about other countries, you average dumb Canadian will boast that our health care system is FREE, as if doctors work for free. The issue is it is run by the government and anyone that is intelligent will know how terribly inefficient the government runs things.

that is a childish argument that has absolutely no merit. I've never been raped but I know that it's wrong. I've never murdered anyone but I know that murder is wrong. I will never be a slave but i know slavery is wrong, The idea that somehow you only get a say or can only tell if something is right or wrong if that has happened to you is insane. It's a cheap and cheezy argument based on feelings rather than logic or reason and it's used by those who can't make an intelligent argument to hide that fact behind moral outrage. Of course a man can say whether or not it's wrong to kill a baby. And having a uterus has absolutely nothing to do with determining when it goes from being a fetus to a person. This is just your way of saying "I can't make a sensible argument therefore I'll go with Muh Feels"

Nikki Hailey is no good. Either run Rand Paul or Ron DeSanctimonious. I hear some talks of Lil Marco Rubio being Trump's running mate.

What I think about it doesn't matter. The fact is that I wasn't part of this thread, hadn't posted in over a day, but you still felt compelled to bring me up in this nothing of a thread. 🙃

To be completely fair, in light of all the FBI lies, malfeasance and crimes uncovered during the Russian collusion witch hunt, the FBI shouldn't be allowed in the vicinity of Donald Trump. It's like allowing Hamas to do security on elementary schools in Israel, or allowing the RCMP to investigate Rebel News. We need police to monitor our police in North America.

OMG...you surely do not want me to post that selfie of you coming out of PP's rear again do you LOL Again, disagree with you and a person is a liberal.... you are falling further and further down that 1diot hole again. LOL

You Americans manage your problems. This 2024 election is like most - months before, a critical change.

I'm surrounded by idi*ts. Perspektiv, why do male, uh, chickens have colourful, uh, co*ks.

Not any more, unfortunately.

Get back to me when she can do all of that without sperm. You are literally arguing that a man has no emotional stake in his child, no physical stake in his child and should have no say in his child. Yet I'm certain you will argue that he should have fiscal responsibility Imagine if you were the kind of person who legitimately thought that abortion was murder. Then find out that a woman did that against your will without consultation to your child and you had no rights. How would that feel? You would legitimately believe your child had been murdered by someone else and there's nothing you could do. But I guess in your books men are scum and don't care for their children anyway so what the heck

Yes. There is an SOP for executing a search warrant. That doesn't change because it was Maralago. The fact that there was or was not any Secret Service there has nothing to do with anything.

Why do yall only care about the mother's rights? Why isn't the child ever a factor?

How about NO, he's worn out his welcome on bills since 1937. Rather see Guy LaFleur than another bloody PM. How about Pierre Elliot Trudeau on the $20. So lots of people will boost the economy by trying to get rid of twenties as fast as they can?

How about Sir John A MacDonald, the man who put this country together?

Oh Jeez can I be in the Fifth Column too? I married a Scot, her family came to Canada when she was 12. Her parents told her they chose Canada because Australia was so hot her dolls would melt. Nothing in Canada was any good, they crossed the border every weekend because the golfing was better, the gas cheaper, clothes were better quality, cafes were cheaper with bigger portions, etc. etc. etc. Yanks had a Trident base in their home town and Canada didn't even have atomic submarines... I was only 'half white' cuz one Grampa came from Italy 65 years before they came to Canada. I used to tease the wife that they were the real boat people. Plates with the Queen and Prince Phillip in the display case, insisting on Scot dancers perform at our wedding, a Diana haircut for the wife. Why some of their good friends were woggies.... I did like them, eccentric as hell but they acted like natural born Canucks were the oddities. I swore oaths to the Queen in Scouts and Cadets. She's dead. It's all over now, the Royal family are just historical quirks, leftovers from an era long gone. We can swear oaths to the Canadian Constitution from now on. The Comonwealth is just a club, an historical association we can share sports contests with. Maybe turn into a Trade treaty and give some meaning to.

The only thing I said it was is that it's not called "the British Commonwealth". They share or shared the same monarch, that is all. There is no British monarch in Canada. British citizenship has no title here. They can't vote in federal elections here. Only Canadians. If you don't want to be a Canadian anymore then do the honorable thing and give up your citizenship and leave, instead of trying to break up the country on behalf of a foreign nation. You're a fifth column.

That is all you got? You are not telling the truth here. You started off this whole thing trying to post this dishonesty of trying to say there was an agreement to not expand NATO to Ukraine. No such agreement existed. You tried to claim that it was Clinton that started the expansion... NATO has been expanding since its inception. I outlined how many times and how many countries. You are the one who doesn't like the truth here. You are the one pushing Putin's propaganda to help Putin justify his invasion, an invasion you want to further support by abandoning Ukraine.

DEmocracy ended when THIS happened, you More On.

Book of Armaments, 21.07 "And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, 'O Lord, bless this thy hand grenade, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy.' And the Lord did grin. And the people did feast upon the lambs, and sloths, and carp, and anchovies, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats, and large chulapas. And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.'

You can't call it a lie without EVIDENCE, just like your middle school remedial math tells you show your math.

You don't reward a terrorist massacre and ongoing hostage crisis with calls for statehood. This only incentivizes that activity. Nor do you ever give statehood to a government bent on Israel's destruction. Has nothing been learned from Israel's deoccupation and elections in Gaza in 2005? Calls for restraint in Rafah are fine.

1. Ok - so if you can't find cites, then you should at least admit to having a faulty memory sometimes right ? I found you 3 posts where I expressed sympathy for the Convoy members. 2. 3. Ok. Well I already found some cites showing a memory gap, and as such I can only ask that you keep an open mind as to your impressions. I'm not going to go find cites to convince you, though. You seem nice enough, so I am holding out hope that people on here can disagree and - very occasionally - not need to fill in gaps with negative memories/impressions just because. 4. I hear it's nice outside but I have been in my basement office all day I should go out... maybe I will. Cheers.

No... in our last discussion I asked you for a couple of cites but you didn't come forward. You could also just say you withdraw the claim. I had to show my own cites for your post that I didn't care for the Convoy folks or whatever. I don't have any kind of grudge against you, you know. I think you do post from the heart. You said about me (and eyeball) "You claim it is virtuous to blindly obey and believe anything the government or its departments tell you." And... "I dont' remember you speaking up about much or expressing any kind of sympathy at all and I see you raising long debunked nonsense about what happened during the Convoy," The second one is pretty objectionable, and tells me you don't know me at all. I think you just fill in the gaps based on my snarkiness and refusal to accept broad and emotional claims about the system/the government/institutions ... but I resent the implication that I would not care about people involved in a grass roots movement. Anyway, if you don't want to give me the satisfaction that's fine. I'll move on. But it's pretty noticeable for you to make claims about me and then go silent... only to ask others for cites. Anyway, have a nice day sincerely.

You want a cite from me about IVM? I've been posting them for years now in the Trickle thread.

Taking pride in one's race is hollow and in my opinion shows a profound lack of intellect. Why? Because one has zero control over being born caucasian, black, etc. To take pride in something that you do not control is simply hollow. Take pride in your accomplishments, decisions, etc but your race, height, or hair color is meaningless.

Conservative Americans predicted this. The thing about UHC or SPHC is that it always paints with a broad brush. But, when cost is removed from the end user, demand soars and it must be met with benefit cuts, or increased taxes. The best health care is a catastrophic insurance plan with a reasonable deductible. That keeps the patient in the loop, allows doctors to compete on price and service and is affordable.

Polls are now showing that a majority of Canadians support the convoy. The leftists have deserted the worker and shown that they are the elitists that we all knew they were.

There seems to be an attempt to slander some of us who ask questions as being anti-vax. While there certainly is some people that fit that category, the majority of us are just asking the questions. I'm vaccinated and vaccination is NOT the hill I'm willing to die on. I know an RCMP fellow in our church who is now unemployed because he won't vaccinate. He has 4 young children so I think that's a little crazy.

I agree, at some point soon technology will be where we need it to be. But there are other issues when it comes to lithium that need to be taken into consideration.

Until you realize what goes into manufacturing electric vehicles and their batteries.
