Progressives will fight to the death for the 'personal freedom' to wear a burka but have no interest in such outmoded ideas as freedom of speech. That must be suppressed because people who disagree with progressives use it to say so!

More than a hundred but they don't really know, either way they are doing the right thing, and not for the " far right ", that's just the left narrative. Denmark has banned also and France, 15 countries actually.

How did I insult you? You brought up restrictions on the burka as the end of personal freedoms. Is it not apropriate to point out that progressives are generally quite willing to sacrifice personal freedoms, especially freedom of speech, on the alter of political correctness? Progressives Are Making A Big Mistake Abandoning Freedom Of Speech That is a headline from the Huffington Post. There are people on this topic who have frequently demanded those who write offensive words about protected identity groups be banned from the internet and prevented from speaking. Oh, and by the way, it is the right which cares about individual freedoms and liberties, and the Left which collectivises, and demands the individual be subsumed by the group's needs.

The Raddisson East off the 401 is literally called the "Refugee Hotel" now. Apparently it's a hell hole. https://www.narcity.com/ca/on/toronto/news/hundreds-of-furious-tourists-are-sharing-their-horror-stories-at-this-toronto-hotel

Yes, the people who are most likely to agree enough and support our progressive Western values. Yes there is a limit - 300,000 or so. Up about 50,000 from Conservative goverment levels. Perhaps the "conversation" could happen if conservatives didn't always frame it as liberals want open borders, liberals don't care about Canada, liberals love terrorists. See above. Also our system of approving immigrants is based on age and employability, and it's considered one of the most successful in the works. Perhaps the conversation could happen if conservatives actually paid attention to how the immigration system works instead of claiming it's a failure and using anomalies to "prove" it.

When losing an argument, call your opponent names. A sure road to victory.

Western Pluralism isn't a suicide pack with its historical...and implacable...foe, Islam.

Geert's not far right. He just detests Islam like any normal person would.

Obama was called a Republican at the debates... Leftism is a mental illness.

Of course we can, and have every intention of doing so regardless of what you think about it. This is about more bans in Canada, not the United States, so crying croc tears about what happens across an international border doesn't apply. There are lots and lots of firearms in private Canadians' possession, regardless of what you see in American media. Try to focus on that...instead.

"Mass murders" by firearms are a very small portion of gun homicides and suicides in Canada...and the USA. Very dramatic for emotional and reflexive responses for more gun legislation, but not based in reality. Several founding ideas exist in America and not in Canada because the Americans wanted independence from what you have (and don't have) in Canada.

I suppose in the meantime you have your answer. Maybe it wasn't what you expected.

Unrequited expectations are a terrible thing, aren't they.

If I were to correct you every time you're wrong, I'd be a rather busy fellow.

If Charles Koch could see this he'd probably hit you with a shovel. Do you even know who Charles Koch is? Even Donald Trump would hit you with a fucking shovel. Criminal evil accusations? All CATO did was use the word inhumane regarding inspections of border camp facilities by the Office of Inspector General (OIG) for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on June 11 2019, long before AOC's visit. CATO used the term inhumane in the title of the article and reported that when the OIG asked CBP; Why is CBP holding so many immigrants in inhumane conditions the answer was; Even the CBP recognized its inhumanity and again, long before AOC ever came near the place. This simple revelation that right wing conservative sources were using the term inhumane and inhumanity independently of AOC and CNN caused you to became completely unhinged It is very clear as evidenced in the above quote that the use of the word inhumane is what triggered your shitstorm of back-peddling. This was pointed out in the other thread and now I've pointed it out here but I suspect you'll still refuse to accept it and resume rearranging the multitude of strawmen and goalposts you've erected in your desperation to get out of the corner of stupidity you've boxed yourself into....CNN talking points, toilets, Democrats, criminal evil accusations the list goes on and on, I can't wait to see what you dream up next. It's hilarious that you think I'm the one dodging the point here. You've dodged around it so much you've completely forgotten what it was.

And for those of you old enough to remember the Iron Curtain, this was in fact the very same strategy which the Soviet elites employed to keep the Eastern Europeans from asserting their freedoms. Terror was an instrument of Bolshevik state power, but it was never sufficient, the principle way the Bolsheviks maintained control was simply by indoctrinating the masses to fear Western freedom, Western freedom was invoked as a nightmare of chaos and disorder, you don't want that, so you'd better rally around Stalin & Co if you know what's good for you.

Dutch Burka Ban Unworkable Ski masks, full face helmets, burkas banned in public buildings and public transportation. Part of Government's attempt to mollify the far right, led by Geert Wilder. Police say enforcing the ban is not a high priority and it will take at least 30 minutes to respond to calls, if thwy can make it at all. Police will not enforce ban at police stations because they don't want to discourage women from reporting crime. Transportation officials won't prevent women from boarding vehicles because they can't wait for police backup. Somebody has already said they'll pay for any fines assessed against Muslim women. All of this for about 100 full time Burka wearers.

Where is the evidence that we need more gun control, are bad guys lining up to purchase their guns from local gun shops, or are they buying illegal guns from illegal sources...........or is it that your just scared of fire arms...why not stand on your soap box and demand a ban on booze, it kills more Canadians each day than fire arms, Is it because you don't understand the legal gun culture thing so you want it stopped.

So, we can't say manmade, mankind or even manhole, so why are manhunt and gunman still acceptable?

Obama sent US taxpayer money to campaign to oust Israeli PM Netanyahu. Which I’m pretty sure is foreign interference in an election.

The term is derived from the German "Sturmgewehr" The characteristics are repetition fire with shortened cartridge to reduce recoil and hi capacity magazine for sustained volumes of fire while conducting an assault on an enemy objective by fire and movement to close with a destroy with maximum speed, violence and aggression by day and night in all climate, seasons and terrain.

Nice. The heat has abated here somewhat and I’m enjoying all the bakeries and patisseries. The French know how to live for sure. My home in Ontario is steel framed, so there isn’t a lot of wood in it. I actually like modern materials if used for their function: concrete in compression and steel in tension beams, steel brush polished floors, that kind of thing. There’s no substitute for natural stone and thick wood post and beam, but the kinds of trees needed for such framing are becoming more scarce and expensive. My uncle reassembled an 1830’s cabin full of massive old growth logs that hold the heat like a clay home in the New Mexican dessert. We can’t get those trees today. I do love big open concept modern homes of concrete, steel and glass. I’m seeing more of a market for that kind of housing now. They can be made quite cozy with the right rugs and furnishings.

Like many institutions, Snopes decided to go 'Orange Man Bad' and become partisan. The Democrats were delighted...preferring a left wing bias, anyways. "I see nothing wrong with Snopes...they validate MY biases."

Yeah, so they may have done a good job at one time. I don't care how good they were 10 years ago, or 6 years ago, or 3 years ago because that's neither here nor there. I'm talking about how pathetic they are right now. Hitler was Time's "Man of the Year" in 1938. Are you going to say that he was awesome too? Get up to speed MH. I caught the "fact checkers" chucking around non-facts & spin. That's where we stand right now. Why don't you try to defend the content of their posts instead of making baseless accusations? We both know why that is - you don't have anything else. You go with what ya got. I'll take the position that Fox News is more accurate than Snopes. Let's go. Everybody loves to diss Fox here and no one ever tries to come back with facts. No one. Fox News predicted things that CNN didn't even report on after the fact, like Andrew McCabe's firing, Peter Strzok's problems... etc. The only people known to have committed crimes related to Russian collusion and during the course of the investigation so far are Dems and FBI officials. How did CNN's Russian collusion predictions go? The only one to get it right was Van Jones when he was caught on a hidden camera saying "Russian collusion is a big nothingburger". CNN got it right ONE SINGLE TIME IN OVER TWO YEARS. LMAO.

As I said, they were pioneers in surfacing internet bullshit and their objectivity is renowned. People who want to see them go down want FOX News and The Rebel to be the new Pravda.

Obama succumbed to extortion from Iran - plain and simple. The world should just cripple Iran with sanctions to the point that their own people will revolt against the regime. Severe punishments to nations who break the sanction! No mercy!
