    Nonsense. I have ever said anything to that effect whatsoever nor do I remotely feel that way. Please stay engaged in topic material only, as I always try to do. Do not worry about me.

    I would welcome a US takeover vs. Commies any day. Because of liberty. “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. Give me... McDonalds”

    It would still be preferable because of quality control. I'll stick with my beer but back in the olden days, they made moonshine or white lightning for sale by the black market. While it is cheaper, you should not drink it.

    Perhaps not scarf but there should be a ban on Burka and Niqab, which cover the whole face. Other countries have already done things like this. The Islamic veil across Europe The veil issue is part of a wider debate about multiculturalism in Europe, as many politicians argue that there needs to be a greater effort to assimilate ethnic and religious minorities. Keep in mind Europe sees this problem more directly than us, having to deal with a much bigger influx of refugees and illegal migrants as a consequence of geography. They are ahead of us, both in recognizing the problem and seeking a solution. We would do well to take heed.

    So you're not actually a pilot...

    Not if you understand the reason why.

    Nothing says moral superiority like helping out your fellow sexual predator.

    Snowflakes eliminate use of the word "Chief" as job title in the Toronto District School Board-

    Toronto District School Board to remove 'chief' from job titles

    due to misguided perception that it offends natives. However natives didn't even ask for this change. 

    The word "Chief" as a designation or title has roots going back to Ireland in the 1500's. Good to see our school board doing such important and smart things with tax dollars.

      I guess CTV didn't get the memo, as seen in this headline.

    He is a symptom yes, though not purely a result of some sort of flaw in the electoral system. He is the consequence of 8 years of unfettered liberalism. The Obamanation. For every political action, an equal and opposite reaction...

    I just find that a curious, coming from someone who claims to be a pilot. Pilots know the word is contrails.

    Yes. Is that too much a stretch? It's not ridiculous. Espionage, intrigue, manipulation are rampant especially between the superpowers. And communism did not die, it's just having a nap.

    Did you mean contrails?

    I'm all for silencing communists who seek to undermine democratic society with misinformation. They got the young folks all confused and upset at their own country, as though Russia is any better. But this is in the wrong thread.

    Indeed many Japanese lives were also spared, thanks to the atomic bomb.

      Freeland must have gotten some drama lessons from Trudeau.

    If we're going to argue about numbers then we must consider the ratio of immigrants to the total population, on a per-province basis. http://www12.statcan.ca/census-recensement/2006/as-sa/97-557/table/t2-eng.cfm The total immigrant population in Ontario is far higher than elsewhere, including BC. Also the distribution of immigrants by their origin is likely quite different, since BC has many Asian immigrants.

    I know there's much potential for benefit, as well as for abuse of the technology. That's the way it always goes with us, ideas are put forward on the premise of the good they can do for humanity, We want the benefits but we can't control the abuse. Once you get into making designer DNA you can do anything, both great and horrific. You can make super-soldiers, people born without empathy. You can make biological machines. Humans have the intellect to create but not the wisdom to handle it. We have made so many huge technological leaps in such a short time, the moral issues that rise up along with them are overwhelming.
