    Canada will have to accept him if he arrives at the border. How he gets here is his own problem. Maybe his parents will help him get out of there, if they don't also go to jail themselves. They are charged with sending money to fund terrorism, all while just trying to get him out of there. They have a message for him- "Thanks, son."

    I am sorry, I cannot sign the petition. It would be un-patriotic as a Canadian. Our PM admires the Chinese dictatorship,

    Many do not want to flee. Actually many support the Chinese government on this. I spoke to a chinese guy at my work the other day about it. I asked him what was going on in Hong Kong. I couldn't really understand what he said though. Pretty sure he said he doesn't agree with the protesters in HK. He thinks they are being ridiculous and extreme. From what I gather, he downplayed the issue of deportation of criminals to mainland China as not very important. I thought this was an interesting view as he is a young person probably about 25 y.o. But most of the Chinese I have met are highly conservative.

    Love the reference to the "free-speech rights of online tormenters"! I'm not sure this is on topic anymore, and don't remember how we got here. But none of this means I support squashing free speech, just pointing out where the battle lines are drawn. In the case of state laws, I assume people vote for these things, and that means there's a certain level of support for restricting speech on certain issues. These hot-button issues will sway back and forth through successive governments and over time, until people feel it is finally settled. Sometimes, it is never settled! I think the fake news problem could get bad enough that it needs to be curtailed. For example if rogue states are funding fake news to cause some kind of disruption. The "New Media" (internet) poses new social challenges and I don't think we fully appreciate the control it has over us.

    And they're gonna do it too. Any day now, Omni.

    Nice revision. Speaking of wishful thinking, let us know when they get around to it.
  7. OftenWrong
    Sure they will.
  8. OftenWrong
    State laws?
  9. OftenWrong
    What wishful thinking? Those laws I described are already passed.
  10. OftenWrong
    Up until now, but things may need to change in the near future. Fake news has become an ever more important issue, with some countries passing laws to ban to criminalize it. I don't know to what extent these laws go. In the U.S., many states have enacted laws against bullying and harassment, including cyber-bullying.

    I know what you meant, and gave a partial answer about the response from Canadians. The Chinese stuff I added to underscore the hypocrisy of the PM's position. He boldly stated he did it to defend Canadian jobs. I have asserted here in this forum, Canadians do not want jobs if they involve working for companies that do illegal things. Canadians want fair and honest work.

    I'm sure the Chinese are shaking their heads in amazement, and consider anything Mr. Trudeau says as totally hypocritical. The SNC Lavalin case is similar in nature to the charges levelled at HuaWei, for which Canada detained Meng Whanzou. Our PM's infamous quote to China: "We are a nation of law" should now return back to him. Consequences for Canada might be more economic retaliation from China, and less cooperation on trade in the future. The best thing we can do is get rid of him as PM. Then no doubt he will quit politics (also good for Canada) and possibly return to his playboy ways, laissez faire, groping women at nightclubs whether they want it or not.

    The Ethics Commissioner's report shows that Mr. Trudeau and his team attempted to obstruct the investigation, despite Trudeau's loud proclamations of transparency. Virtue-signalling chickens are finally coming home to roost.

      Well, the CBC is now trying to make the case that it's inappropriate for Scheer to request the RCMP to investigate, declaring that this is interference in a potential criminal prosecution.

      CBC appears to be earning their share of the 600 million "aid package" courtesy of the Liberal party.

      You seriously can't make this stuff up.

  14. OftenWrong
    I hear that Andrew Sheer has requested the RCMP to conduct an investigation. Scheer requests RCMP probe That is pretty much the most he can do, unless you actually mean slashing his throat for real. In which case, I wouldn't be surprised...

    My signature would be almost as useless as any virtue-signalling tweets sent from Christa Freeland or PM Trudeau directly to Chinese President Xi Jinping. Almost.
  16. OftenWrong
    Quite sure that I and MH have given you clear examples where your theories no longer work. Yet you have not responded on those points. Easy to ignore that which we disagree with, eh?
  17. OftenWrong
    No one suggested jailing for that. Nonetheless speech is powerful, and your ideas about letting expression run wild and free have been refuted with examples by me and others. Absolutes cannot stand.

    Globalists maneuvering us towards a recession... because Trump.

      Like when you see flash crashes, that's because the big firms are spooked by 2008, so they've got their algorithms set to hair trigger alert to take their profits and get out fast, when certain warning signs flash.

      Bear in mind that nothing was actually changed much in 2008, they bailed it out, but it's not like they control all the black boxes in the world, the black boxes are bigger and blacker than they were in 2008, contagion looms like a sword of damocles, collateral debt obligations could blow up again and even bigger this time around.

      There's nothing inherently wrong with a credit default swap, it's actually a brilliant hedge, but when everybody is hedged to everybody else, and some of them start to default, panic spreads like wildfire and it goes around the world in a matter of seconds, and these days its the computers making the calls, and garbage in garbage out means computers panic too.

      IMO the rest of the world is already in recession, and in certain markets, like oil, there is a long term structural depression, it's just that the policy stimulus is hiding most of it, and the Americans are burning so hot and bright right now, they are singlehandedly propping the world markets up.

    Well people have killed themselves over bullying, which was just mean words. The problem with your OP, which you appear to have edited, is you seem to think that absolute ideas can stand, and you lament that they cannot. Welcome to reality.
  20. OftenWrong
    In that case, no freedom from harrassment or bullying. I can say the mean words all I want.
  21. OftenWrong
    Exactly, Canadians have no choice. Trust that I have explained it well enough for you... You're welcome.

    And yet here you are, still playing along as well. All your life you've supported and paid them with your taxes, and cast your ballot in their elections. Somehow it seems even more incorrigible when you have people who claim they know about the problem, but keep supporting it anyway. Those people are the worst scum there is.

    I'm in the thread on page one and you come in on page 2. I could not find any specific example in the 41 page thread were you explicitly complain about Trudeau. Rather, what I do see is that when it involves Trudeau, his supporters revert to the "let's not be a bunch of partisan hacks" stance, that after all, all governments are corrupt.

    This just in: Justin Trudeau to be hoisted by his own petard.

      Sounds good, whatever a petard is...

  25. OftenWrong
    Well at least its something to do. We should at least have a contingency plan. I mean, if it were the end of the world and we had like half an hour, what would you suggest we do?
