Such as the Caliphate they so dearly want to instill? These people are ideologically opposed to a democracy, inherently by belief.

Yes that does present a bit of a problem.

These are things which many Canadians have said and wanted, for decades. If it happens now, we can thank Donald Trump for getting us off the dope. Always hard for druggies to do that...

Interesting graphic. We need to know the truth, whether it is pleasant or not.

This comes in line with the fact that terrorism in Canada is getting "bolder and bolder".

Apparently not. Things don't look particularly good for the Liberals at this point in time. Conservatives out-fundraise Liberals, post best 2nd quarter result outside of election year The Conservatives have posted their best second-quarter fundraising results outside of an election year in their party's history, taking in just over $6 million in the three months ending on Jun. 30 and raising nearly twice as much money as the governing Liberals. Keep it up, smilin' Andy.

So... alien hater, eh?

Quantity of a substance can show the intention of the person possessing it. The quantity of a drug found in someone's possession is used to differentiate between simple possession, and trafficking. Same goes for the amount of money they might have on them when arrested in possession of a prohibited substance. Large amounts of money is used as evidence of trafficking. It's possible the case is bigger than we know, might include other people stlll at large and if that's true, authorities will not tip their hand. In fact, the silence from the authorities is unusual if it were due to mental illness and case closed. But who knows... we must wait and see.

Yeah but what a rush

The idea that it can be used as a chemical weapon was already shown earlier in this thread, from multiple sources. I can't find my post though, for some reason it is no longer here. Probably because I didn't write anything else, just gave the information. Anyway here is the link I provided that shows this substance is recognized as a potential weapon, and raises concern that it might be used by terrorists. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carfentanil#Potential_as_a_chemical_weapon From the link- The toxicity of carfentanil has been compared to that of nerve gas, according to the Associated Press' article "Chemical weapon for sale: China's unregulated narcotic". The article quoted Andrew C. Weber, Assistant US Secretary of Defense for Nuclear, Chemical and Biological Defense Programs from 2009 to 2014, as saying "It's a weapon. Companies shouldn't be just sending it to anybody." Weber added "Countries that we are concerned about were interested in using it for offensive purposes... We are also concerned that groups like ISIS could order it commercially." Weber described various ways carfentanil could be used as a weapon, such as knocking troops out and taking them hostage or killing civilians in closed spaces such as train stations.[3] Underlined part is my emphasis, to give it credibility.

It is clearly a victory for both the US and the EU, since the proposed elimination of tariffs benefits both sides. It is the outcome Donald Trump sought to achieve, and Jean-Claude Juncker from the EU is also very pleased. Not just a victory for one "side". Trade deals don't work that way. Your opening post gives motivations that are too simple. There is a lot more going on here than the elimination of tariffs.

I can appreciate that you don't want to be associated with those types, but you need not imply that I could be. I prefer we discuss the thread topic, not antisemitism, or my conscience.

Yes scribblet, I agree. Without this info we would have no idea what the Hussain's were up to. Thank you for having the courage to post it. As if there were not enough bullshit being flung around these by days. Even the "trusted" government seems to want to lie, and fool us.

Here's where you go over the top. You like to believe you are fair and non-biased, non partisan, not stuck in believing certain "memes". Well Mimi, I hate to say it but you get the irony award again.

And yet by your own admission in this instance that partisan rag is telling the truth about the potential use of this substance as a weapon. The dosage needed to use it recreationally is very very small. These people had 42 kg, enough to overdose millions of people. I think it makes sense to assume they were planning on using it for something other than selling it as drugs.

What part of the link do you call horseshit? I provided another link to show that the claims it makes about this chemical are quite true, including the very high toxicity, and concerns about its use as a chemical weapon by terrorists. These concerns were raise by the Assistant US Secretary of Defense for Nuclear, Chemical and Biological Defense Programs who served under Obama. Do you call that horseshit as well?

That is a stunning link. Carfentanil in that quantity, 42 kg, could only be intended for use as a chemical weapon.

Despite the near-hysterical outcry from some people, there are some councillors who are in favour of this. One who spoke his views very intelligently on CTV news this evening. I can't cite that because it was on TV today, but here is a link showing this is not a one-sided issue. The idea has some merit, and approval. Councillor Justin Di Ciano, among other Toronto City Councillors show solidarity to Premier Doug Fords announcement to reduce city council to 25 wards in Toronto, Ont. on Friday July 27, 2018.

So you did not take that reduction of automotive tariffs by the EU into consideration, which was Trump's main criticism of their trade relationship and the number one thing he wanted to see changed. Your OP mentions Germany, not the criticism he received from certain members of the GOP within US. Now that it's been shown that you missed the main point entirely, you want to dodge around that with petty little ad-hominems. Sorry, but your assessment was incorrect.

Where did you get that idea? Never heard of such a thing. Do you have a cite, or is it just something you'd like to believe. I do recall that the EU made some big concessions of their own,namely the number one issue that Trump was critical about- EU tariffs on US cars. Your opening post does not take this into consideration. Perhaps you are reading fake news. Here's a cite for you. German automakers willing to drop all tariffs with U.S., report says That took about two seconds to find with google.

Yes, I believe you are right. I remember hearing of it at the time. Whatever draining the swamp actually means. But I am not too concerned about Donald Trump. He likes to use bluster and threats to open up a negotiation, and I don't doubt that if necessary he would back that up, but that doesn't appear to be what he wants in the end. Trump seems to be a "stick and carrot" kind of guy. I feel that most ordinary people are put off by his unusual approach to politics, but that is because they have certain expectations of conduct from a politician. Finally in the end it seems like Trump is just another US president, continuing the overall direction of US economic, military ambitions throughout the world, very much in line with the direction of presidents before him.

Never said I was, but there might be an impression of it being a new thing. I'm trying to find reasons for it, and I believe that our modern media technology plays a role to inspire mass killers. That includes school shooters as well. It is new in the sense that this is a "unified movement", inspired by ideology such as Al-Qaeda introduced, and made use of the internet as a tool for reaching out to the disaffected mentally unstable. Those men claimed it must be done in the name of Allah. It's a bit of a problem for Muslims, something like a gang culture. Really the most effective counter against it can come from Muslims themselves. These sort of acts need to be completely, and publicly disavowed. There's a perception that among certain groups, it is not. It doesn't help if those coming from the 'old country', who hold repugnant anti-semetic views and consider the west The Great Satan are allowed to preach to youth in Mosques.

1. And yet, there a plenty of people considered mentally ill that are not a threat to anyone, by far. Is this not the same error in determining causality? 2. And yet, all "blamers" need to do is wait for the next incident. 3. I think the causes are many-fold. Mental illness must certainly be a factor, in combination with other personality traits such as alienation and hostility. I doubt there is anything new going on that makes them flip out other than instantly accessible media. There is a desire to do something that gains lots of attention, and with today's technology that is assured to happen. Really, terrorism is a cry for help...
