Derek 2.0

Where did he say that? One major flaw, if true, is that this: has its demise in Road Warrior.........with the only other produced V8 Interceptor going to Ford heaven with the Knightrider at the wheel in the first Mad Max......As said in Road Warrior, it was "the last of the V8s".........but in Fury Road:

I would assume, due in part to her age versus that of the "brides", that Furiosa is sterile, being born prior to the "Pocalypse".... In my opinion, if Miller intends to keep Fury Road (and the sequels) in the existing canon, Fury Road would fit in between the original movie and Road Warrior...... As to the imaginary kid, I would assume we'll learn more in future films, but (if following the canon) it can't be his child (from Jesse) killed by Toecutter's gang, as he was a he......

Hmmm, are Liberal knives are already starting to come out? From Scott "beer & popcorn" Reid: I agree with Reid's intent, but his conclusion is flawed...........Even Don Draper couldn't spin Trudeau........after all, one needs something of substance to market.

Exactly.......For example, John Baird in just a few months has since been named to the Boards of Directors of CP rail......I expect Mackay, near 50, to spend a few years with his young family and then to be the next Secretary General of NATO, a first for a North American.

Is it working though? "Powerful minorities" also have the use of social media, an allowance that grants them the ability to further their messaging, messages that prior to social media, granted them their cited "political power"........ Another thing good to remember: "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss"..........

Is your cited flaw any different than any other form of governance? The Soviet Politburo was chauffeured in handmade Zil limos without a want in the World well the unwashed masses stood in line for hours for bread and toilet paper......

Though I agree largely with the thrust of what you're saying, said powerful minorities are not always exploiting the majority, but just furthering their own interests, interests that in some instances can indirectly benefit the majority.......hence the minorities gain political power through the indifference of the majority..... That is how a lobbyist succeeds.......inversely, you don't boil a frog by putting it in hot water

Riiiiight......and that will sound just as crazy as anything both the Liberals and NDP will offer in rebuttal to the ~34-35+ % voters that will return the Tories back to Ottawa with a Majority this Fall........Once this (and several other items) are announced in the coming weeks and months, feel free to start the unite the Left threads for 2019

I doubt it very much......But as I said before, when the polls far from indicated anything remote, I still do expect the NDP to remain the Official Opposition to a returning Harper Majority Government this Fall.

For sure, C-19 (the bill to delete the LGR) was passed in Feb of 2012.........the Access to Information request, as you pointed out, was submitted at the end of March 2012...........a request, that even if C-19 was never passed, would never have been granted.......Does anyone really think the RCMP would have given out the detailed information of gun owners across Canada, information that included names, address and the lists of each owners registered firearms? This faux outrage though is welcoming, as a clear demonstration that election season is on.....Just wait until they have to dispense even more faux outrage once the Harper Government announces its plans to cut the GST even further

I'm still awaiting you to explain the obvious.......and refute factual law as opposed to parroting biased talking points.

I would assume if rape jokes were/are tolerated on the forum.

Agreed 100%...... a poor attempt at humor.

I've asked this before, what law do you think was broken, and in turn, what law did the Tories change to protect the RCMP? Furthermore, how does said yet to be named law contravene/override both the Firearms Act and the Privacy Act, laws both followed by the RCMP in this instance? Until then, for your further reading: Access to Information Act: And more importantly: That doesn't read like the Information Commissioner can require a Government institution to both break the law and contravene an Act of Parliament, an Act that requires the destruction of personal information, personal information that the Information Commissioner is not authorized by the Access to Information Act to release to an anti-Government activist...... As to why both no Court (or the OPP) will give the Information Commissioner's concerns much thought or further action: An Act of Parliament again........like the passage of Bill C-19, which required the RCMP to destroy the LGR data.

Of course I'm dismissive.......the entire thing is absurd, and not only for the reasons I outlined, namely the expectation that the RCMP would disregard the sections of the Canadian Firearms Act pertaining to the disclosure of personal information of licence holders to a non-governmental agency, but then the Information Commissioner would even entertain such a compliant. Furthermore, the baseless suggestion by the Information Commissioner, repeated by those with their own bias, that the RCMP broke the law.......a law that has yet to be named. To go even further, if the RCMP had of complied with the absurd demands of the information commissioner, they would have been in direct violation of the provisions enacted to both the Firearms Act and the Privacy Act by Bill C-19, that received Royal Assent in April 2012......If the RCMP didn't destroy the Long Gun Registry data they would have broken the law: Canadian Firearms Act: In addition: The Privacy Act: So if the RCMP had of complied with the information commissioner's request, giving the personal information of ~2 millions Canadians, containing the location of nearly 8 million firearms across Canada, to an anti-government activist, they actually would have broken several real laws.......... And I'm the biased one?

The OPP isn't "working on" the "social justice warrior's" complaint against the RCMP's refusal to grant him the detailed whereabouts of nearly 8 million firearms across Canada, as the man is a Quebec resident and the OPP has zero jurisdiction over the RCMP run CFC.........The Information Commissioner forwarded her findings (relating to her alleged RCMP obstruction) to the OPP....as of now, there is no active investigation being conducted by the OPP.

And that position will change once they've received their first Federal majority mandate.............

Inversely, a blind partisan would hold the opinion of the Information Commissioner as Holy Writ, despite documented cases of her previous clashes with the RCMP and the Government over funding for her own fiefdom.......furthermore, as already mentioned, when one actually examines the request, coupled with the actual timeline, a reasonable person can see the compliant has zero merit......... My question, why would she even entertain a compliant over a rejected request from an anti-government activist seeking to have a detailed list of the then location of nearly 8 million firearms across Canada?

There is already precedent.........Your concern for Canadian gun owners that purchased 12.x class firearms after 1978/1992/1995 lawfully that had their applications rejected for a new licence after the 1995 Firearms Act was implemented in 1998 is noted....I fully expect your support for your fellow Canadians that were once lawful owners of machine guns, converted select fire rifles and short barrel handguns, disallowed said firearms due to the purchase dates defined by a retro-active law.... Grannies for Gatling guns or seniors for SPAS-12s works for me

I fully admit my own bias, I've nothing to hide..........can you say the like? ------- Of what purpose would it have served Canadian society to have a "social activist", that has gotten in the face of a past Prime Minister, to have a detailed list of every (then) registered firearm, and to whom owned them and where they lived, across Canada? Anyone who thinks the RCMP would have made such info public has rocks in their head, and his appeal (to the Information Commissioner) a month after the law was passed was just as crazy. Furthermore, the claim that retro active laws are unprecedented is just as laughable, fore the Canadian Firearms Act did exactly that with the 12.x class firearms in December of 1998, by only granting grandfathered licences to those that owned 12.x class firearms prior to 1995.....rendering thousands of thought to be lawful transaction between 1995 and 1998 unlawful, requiring Canadian gun owners to turn in upwards of 500k firearms, without compensation, to be destroyed..... I trust your concern for Canadian gun owners is forthcoming?

Indeed, from what I understand, the years of delays in making Fury Road allowed Miller to pen and write the screenplay for Mad Max: Wasteland, with even some parts filmed during the making of Fury Road. Furthermore, Miller has also stated that he is near complete writing the sixth Mad Max movie, in addition to another encompassing Furiosa's back story. I felt Theron did as good as Hardy in Fury Road, and her story, both pre/post Fury Road would be worth telling, even in a standalone movie.

Worth seeing in 3D........I agree that it to isn't quite a reboot, and would fit in between the first Mad Max and Road Warrior if they want to go that way with the planned sequels.........it did pay homage to all three original movies though, if it goes in the reboot direction. I liked how Miller recast Hugh Keays-Byrne aka "toe cutter" as Immortan Joe, much like his use of the same actor that played the gyro-captain as the Jedediah pilot in Thunderdome.......its also been suggested one of the next films will include the back story of both Immortan Joe and Furiosa, with both Keays-Byrne and Theron set to return.

Exactly, and at the time (to present day) such information was available online........I don't see an issue with the RCMP refusing to release the personal information of several million gun owners as an issue........

A longstanding institutional (and personal?) bias against both the Government and RCMP?

Didn't you know?
