Stunning Statistical fraud behind the global warming scare. https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/the-stunning-statistical-fraud-behind-the-global-warming-scare/

I am now about to remake our immigration system. Here are a few of my likely policy changes. Immigration numbers will be cut back to 200,000 Family immigration will be eliminated except in humanitarian cases. Investor class immgiration will be eliminated entirely. All potential immmigrants must pass basic language tests given at the embassy or consulate. All potential immigrants must have a job offer for a job which cannot be easily filled by Canadians in order to immigrate to Canada (which is the requirement in the US) The requirement that immigrants attest to their desire to reside in Canada will be reinstated. The period of residency before acquiring citizenship will be raised back to 5 years. All potential immigrants will be interviewed, which will allow an immigration officer to assess their language skills as well as their personal suitability and willingness to adapt and assimilate into Canada. They will also be required to answer, in writing, a series of fairly routine questions related to the profession they claim to be a member of in order to weed out those with fake documents and degrees. They will also be given a version of the 'personality' tests Canadian business routinely use to assess people's values and beliefs to see if they will fit in. In addition for a potential immigrant getting points for language ability, education, job skills, etc., the potential immigrant's spouse will also be able to add points to his score if he/she also has language skills, education and job skills. Canada will prioritize immigration from countries and areas in order to prevent the build-up of ethnic ghettos in Canada. For years Canada has taken a large number of immigrants from certain countries and areas which has supplied a continuing stream of that group to help enlarge and sustain such ethnic communities. Changing the focus of our immigration will allow those ethnic groups to more readily assimilate. This would mean targeting places like South America and Europe which have supplied minimal numbers of immigrants over the past few decades and which, consequently, do not have large ethnic communities here which retain the values and beliefs of their homeland. Every refugee applicant will be kept in custody pending their hearing. Every refugee applicant's story will be checked out by the embassy/consulate in the country where they reside (Which means if you claim to be persecuted because you're gay your family and friends better know about your being gay). Canada will only grant temporary asylum for a perdiod of five years. After which the condition of their country or situation will be reassessed to see if they can return home. Canada will adhere to the UN definition of refugee. This definition does not consider people living in a war torn counry like syrian (except minorities being persecuted) as refugees. Nor does it consider poverty, ie, Hait, to be a justification for asylum claims. Nor would it allow women who claim their husbands beat them to make asylum claims. Immigrants/refugees who have met the residency requirements and wish to apply for citizenship must pass language tests (more than basic) and must demonstrate the efforts they have made to assimilate, as well as having been self-supporting and having no criminal record. (this is the case in most western countries). Citizenship will be automatic only to those born to Canadian citizens. It will not be granted to those who happen to be flying overhead at birth, or to people who come here to give birth, or to visitors or refugees or students (except in the case where the resulting offspring would otherwise be stateless). If refugees become Canadian citizens then any child born to them in Canada automatically becomes a citizen.

Unelected judges are supposed to be just that, judges. Non partisan. Their purpose is to keep overly ambitious politicians in check through unbiased consideration, giving clear, logical reasons for their decisions. Certainly that is not the case and the appeal process, if carried out would prove this true. Of course, that would take time to complete. So the whole thing was purposely to delay Ford's initiative, and allow the election to go through as planned. I wonder who set this up, and who allowed that judge to preside? Perhaps there should be an investigation...

While in opposition, Liberals called this practice "stealing" from veterans. Now they are the gov`t it's just "an administrative process." hypocrites much

After telling Canadians and veterans that veterans are asking for more than what the country can afford, it turns out that Trudeau and his government have left $372M earmarked for veterans unspent since taking office in November 2015. https://globalnews.ca/news/4447716/trudeau-liberals-leave-372m-meant-for-veterans-unspent/ It's despicable and shameful how the veterans are treated in this country.

Exactly. More trade is more grease for the machinery.

Yes...that is how trade is defined around the world....total imports/exports. Canada is only 15% for U.S. trade. So geography is not an issue at all....thank you for agreeing with my point.

You're a loon.

On the contrary. America is suppose to handle Trudeau and Freeland with kid gloves because they are losing and can't stop crying. Trump is treating the world the way the world has been treating America and Americans for decades now. Trudeau and Freeland are all in it for themselves and their lefty liberal socialist anti-Canadian party with it's anti-Canadian programs and agendas that have done nothing good for Canada or Canadians at all. Trudeau and Freeland sure have you by the short and curly's. LOL.

Dammit. I blame Trump for all of Canada's woes. I agree, let's start a war with America and let's show them once and for all as to who is the real boss here. LOL. Dammit, where is my slingshot?

Most people can see right through what JT is doing in order to boost his sagging numbers. Just not you.

To be fair, legalizing the weed will keep Trudeau's supporters high enough to vote for him once again. Of course, this is in addition to screwing up our relationship with the US, wishing that enough Canadians dislike Trump to win even more votes..

The Liberals can't run on their record...there is none...not good anyways. So let's start a war...

Use Netflix, Amazon Prime and CraveTV. Still have to pay but it will be cheaper than a cable subscription and there's a lot of variety, although not everything you get on cable. If you have a smart TV, you can use apps for some content. Google TVAddons for more info on cord-cutting.

More unadulterated horse shit. Right-wing media is brainwashing the feeble-minded to buying into some kind of free-range libertarian paradise. This is akin to people calling an end to having police, because of police brutality.
