Hurrah for Canada's limp new PM...3 points

This doesn't tell the whole story but The Toronto Police Service most wanted is linked below. https://www.tps.ca/organizational-chart/specialized-operations-command/detective-operations/investigative-services/homicide/most-wanted/ Years ago, people familiar with some of the cultures suggested that if we wanted to import people from specific areas that the immigrants would require extra support and that the support required came at a cost. The also warned not to ghettoize these folks and warehouse them vertically in ethnic enclaves. They never said don't do it, they said be cautious and be thoughtful about the "how" side of the equation. They were ignored, they were vilified, called racist xenophobes, white nationalists and any number of other names that people like Herb can think up after a 6 pack... in short, we collectively cheaped out and failed to do it right. Herbs not going to believe that and I know he won't track down the mothers of the folks in the pictures... if he did, he'd see a common theme developing. As long as the Herbs of the world dance naked on rooftops in the moonlight and refuse to acknowledge that they were (at least) partially responsible for those pictures turning out the way they did, it will continue and get worse as momentum and collection rate increases. It doesn't get better by itself...2 points

Statehood should be negotiated through peace talks. These did not occur. What guarantees does Canada have here? What conditions must be met and what if they're not? Canada has given up all of their leverage here for what exactly? More NDP votes?2 points

Drawing the line between unacceptable Behavior and legitimate protest is always the problem with these bills. Putting a no protest bubble zone around religious buildings or the like would probably work out fine, but when you start getting into trying to define hate speech and symbols and the like you inevitably run into massive problems. Remember when the okay signs suddenly magically became a symbol of white power because some guy on fourtran trolled a bunch of lefties?2 points

From her own mouth: “We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was — a man who believed that the Civil Rights Act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake; who, after the violent attack on Paul Pelosi, claimed that ‘some amazing patriot’ should bail out his brutal assailant; and accused Jews of controlling ‘not just the colleges. It’s the nonprofits, it’s the movies, it’s Hollywood, it’s all of it,’” Ocasio-Cortez said. She added that Kirk’s “rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans — far from ‘working tirelessly to promote unity’ as asserted by the majority in this resolution.” That pig tried to pretend that "Kirk called Pelosi's attacker a hero", but what he did was hoist Dems on their own petard for taking the attack on Pelosi so seriously after making it their policy to release violent offenders - whose only crime was attacking random, worthless civilians - back onto the streets. Dem policy: "If you assault some random broad on the street, you're ok to go free, but don't attack someone that we care about, because that's different. We are important, so we are protected, and you people are not." Once again: Dems support violence against their political opponents, 100%. The guy who shot Kirk feels like he is a hero in the eyes of at least one congressthem.1 point

Liberals just introduced a new bill C9 allegedly to fight against hate crime, but like everything Liberals do, the problem lies between the lines and how it could be used. One problem is with these kind of bills, they give unlimited power to government to control society and individuals and there is very little or no protection for how it will be used. They make the claim that there is no risk to fundamental freedoms, but that could be open to interpretation and used in a way to to suppress individual freedoms of expression and freedom of speech. quote The Canadian Constitution Foundation (CCF) is concerned that key aspects of the Carney government’s proposed hate crimes legislation would unduly infringe on freedom of expression. Among other changes to the Criminal Code, Bill C-9 would establish a standalone hate crime provision that would allow for up to life in prison for committing an act motivated by hatred, would create new intimidation and obstruction crimes related to buildings used for religious worship or primarily by identifiable groups, and would establish a new crime of wilfully promoting hatred by displaying certain symbols such as terrorist flags or Nazi swastikas in a public place. The CCF has identified the following concerns: Overbreadth of the hate-symbol provision (s. 319(2.2)): It could chill legitimate speech in cases where it is unclear whether a symbol is “principally associated with a terrorist group” or “resembles a symbol” outlawed under the provision; Extreme sentencing under the new hate crime offence (s. 320.1001): A person who commits mischief against property motivated by hatred could face up to seven years in prison, rather than the current two years; Removal of Attorney General oversight: The bill would allow police to charge a person with hate speech without receiving the Attorney General’s consent, which is an important safeguard for freedom of expression that has been part of Canada’s law for decades; and Lowering the threshold for “hatred”: The definition of “hatred” added as a new section 319(7) appears to lower the bar for hate speech set by the Supreme Court of Canada in cases like R v Keegstra and R v Whatcott, which could chill speech and public debate. CCF Executive Director Joanna Baron questioned the need for parts of the bill considering Canada already has “robust hate propaganda laws.” “Creating new offences for hate-motivated crimes and lowering safeguards like Attorney General oversight is unnecessary and invites excessive prosecutions,” she said. “The new hate symbol offence only targets displays done with the intent to promote hatred, but without Attorney General consent as a safeguard, there is a real risk that people using these symbols in art, journalism, or protest will be charged first and vindicated later,” Baron added. CCF Counsel Josh Dehaas said that while he’s pleased to see that the federal government has tailored its provisions on intimidation and obstruction of places of worship to capture criminal conduct rather than protected speech and protest, he is concerned that the new definition of “hatred” will chill legitimate expression. “I’m also very wary that banning hate symbols could be a slippery slope,” Dehaas said. “In free countries, we ought to criminalize violence, not speech, so this sets a worrying precedent.” unquote Liberal hate crimes bill raises free speech concerns - Canadian Constitution Foundation The Liberal party seems to have a penchant for wanting to control everyone's life to the nth degree or as much as they can get away with. This is not respecting human rights and fundamental freedoms. Who is to be the judge as to what is acceptable speech? What if someone who disagrees with you claims you are breaking this law simply because he doesn't agree or opposes your right to your opinion or comments? Then you could become the target of the state and be placed in the position of having to hire lawyers and defend yourself. Or you could even be imprisoned for years while your case finds its way through the legal system. This kind of thing puts a very heavy hand on freedom of expression or freedom of speech and will tend to suppress it. This leans more toward authoritarianism or a brand of totalitarianism.

the evidence is right there and AOC is completely wrong. Well done, you managed to be 100% incorrect in just one sentence. Very efficient of you You know the history of that quote right? You know damn well that's not an incentive to violence right? Why do you insist on lying like that? The whole point of that conversation was she wouldn't be so eager to call for men to go to war if she was the one who was going to get shot. If anything it's the opposite of a call to violence it's saying that people wouldn't be calling for violence if they were the ones suffering it1 point

No, YOU already argued it was ok for them to make threats. remember? Just a few posts ago you said it didn't apply to CORPORATONS...... well abc is a corporation. So any 'threat' to them doesn't apply. You said this when i pointed out the white house pressured google and other social media. "doesn't count' you said. Well the whitehouse pressured ABC. Doesn't count i guess Sorry, you can't have it both ways. You said the threat wasn't the point. You said that it doesn't count when it's between the government and a business. That's not what free speech is about you said So now you're caught in your own lie. If you didn't care then you can't care now and @User is right to call you on it.1 point

I agree. Nobody wants thought police. And people should be allowed to wear a hijab, a cross, or even a swastika if they want. Just don't cross the line into calling for violence or lesser rights for 'others'. And don't pass bills that leave too much room for interpretation by the police or courts.1 point

You will never find in the gospell anything where it says that Jesus said to punish others Luke 6:27–28 “But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.” 🔹 These are not instructions for punitive justice — they are radical calls to forgiveness and grace.1 point

The Americans have this irrational fear of public services but have no qualms about indenturing themselves to unaccountable private organizations and corporations that are far more overbearing and self-interested. Look at their healthcare system for example.1 point

Great question. What is the legal standing of these things? Let me see if Google is helpful: https://simple.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeowner_association They are legally binding and have authority over homeowners And can also overlap with neighborhood associations... Who are not legally binding. It's all part of the wacky coconuts American culture that rejects government but puts two levels of governance on just having a nice house...1 point
