So what do we do about the homeless population, the workers losing their jobs to automation? The service industry doesn't pay a heck of a lot but having additional guaranteed income could actually put more spending money into the economy.

Well you don't really know that because not much research has been put into it. There could be savings from eliminating the costs of administration and policing of ei and social assistance. Thete coukd be other savings that we just don't know about. Hence the term 'experiment'.

Goodness. Then we better hide under our beds. Not much left to do.

The danger is only in your mind and spreading hatred towards Muslims.

Finland will be introducing an experimental program offering 2,000 of its citizens a guaranteed mthly income of just under 600. Ontario is also proposing a similar program of at least 1300 mthly, no strings attached to low income people. The reasoning is that it will end the cycle of poverty and encourage people to seek out employment knowing the guaranteed income won't be clawed back. Italy has a similar program already in place while Brazil, Uganda and Iceland are considering a similar program. I think it's time that this proposal is explored further to determine how effective it can be especially considering how automation is replacing many jobs. https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2016/11/03/proposed-basic-income-pilot-would-provide-monthly-payments-of-least-1320.html Finland is giving 2,000 citizens a guaranteed income http://money.cnn.com/2017/01/02/news/economy/finland-universal-basic-income/index.html

Here you go if you want a cite of immigrants being screen for their health: Much more information is available Panel Members’ Handbook 2013

Incredibly amazing how Trumps permission to grab pussy has been reduced to feminists acting out.

What you are doing is rationalizing or normalizing sexual assault in the guise of clever debate. It's not working for those of us who stand up to predators.

Just because something makes it on Canada land doesn't make it truthful. If you want to delve into this you should read more about the case and start a thread. Especially about Laura.

I'd ask him to give his uterus back but obviously he doesn't have one.

Oh he understands. Just playing ridiculous games.

2% of the student population is black. Here is a description of the course, doesn't sound too scary to me:

When the decision making people at Universities take a stand like the John Furlong case, it doesn't set a good example for the students who are easily molded into thin-skinned graduates.

A similar course was offered at an Arizona University in 2015.

How do you know? It hasn't started yet. Do you have the demographics of the students enrolled?

It wasn't taken out of context and he quickly walked back on it the very next day after the outrage from both sides.

The First Nations may be still pursuing it, but that's it, unless you have a cite?

Totally agree. I believe a woman's right to health care, should be protected from the Christian right and not thrown under the bus.

He has been legally exonerated and there is no complaint process going on. I may be wrong. Maybe someone can show that the process is still ongoing.

Whoa! That's quite a leap!!!!!!

He has been cleared of all charges. That is the issue.

This course is completely voluntary and is taught at a university where the majority are white students not black.

And he's not done yet. Not by a long shot. He's having the time of his life.

Why do you consider it a fiasco? Your beloved GOP didn't think he was strong enough against Putin. Is that why it's a fiasco?

Care to elaborate in context with the OP.
