Please report his garbage.

Do you have anything on topic to say?...ever?

Should be charged with assault if true.

Tell us, how many of those people are paying attention? You're too smart to be paying these petty games, or at least i thought you were. That number litterally means nothing.

Are we really trying to make a link between a religious person who killed a dog and Islamic terrorism? i would agree that the more truly religious you are the less likely you are to be very intelligent, but how much more likely does that mean it is you will kill a dog for the reason this person did? Probably not a lot. Then again being one of a member of a religion of a billion people where violence against those you see as your oppressors, or simply against non believers, is at least occasionally, and sometimes frequently preached, makes those results somewhat more likely, and the results do speak for themselves, at least for those who are honest enough to hear them.

You forgot the part where Sophie already has all of that, and wants more so she can be the celebrity she's always dreamed about. Never honest.

O /puke, they already were protected, as every human being is, what they want now is protection for their special requests "giggles and whispers hurts and will not be tolerated in an advance society and those losers who may ignore it will be punished" Yes, normal human behavior will not be tolerated by the left wing fascists. Ever notice a guy with a disability, maybe look at them? That too should not be tolerated, that could hurt, perhaps someday we can all get a microchip to patrol our thoughts, we can be punished remotely for even thinking about, thinking about the wrong thing.

It's as simple as this, it's progressive, and once you progress, you must progress further, extend the ideology further, which of course means the issues that are being fought about become more and more extreme, there is no limit to these people, there will always be another issue no matter how far left, and how liberal we already are, it will never be enough.

Agree, but how much would you like to bet that there are transgendered people, who are female, who wouldn't want to use the same bathroom as cisgendered men? This is always ultimately the problem, no matter how much you progress, someone demands you progress more, split the hair even further, and eventually the whole thing falls apart. So there is no point in any of this, we all have the same rights, instead of making a special case for special people, simply break down all of the barriers that divide us now. I suppose the problem is that liberal politicians aren't a fan of being honest with their constituents, many of whom are women who won't be terribly happy with sharing a bathroom with a man, no matter how progressive they claim to be. There's no other way to do it, just how do you determine if that man in the ladies washroom isn't what he claims to be? You can't, if a woman can dress like a man, then a transgendered woman, who is still male can also dress like a man, so any man can walk into any ladies room and you can't legally do anything about it. Speaking as someone who accidentally walked into the ladies room at Rogers Centre a few weeks ago, I can assure you it wasn't appreciated, so, no more gendered washrooms, its the only way this can work. We must progress to the point that even the tiniest fraction of our population with even stranger predilections are accommodated, even if that means doing so makes the vast majority as uncomfortable as those people used to be.

Are you done making things up? Who said she was evil? What's being said is we don't need to pay so she can spread her celebrity wisdom. What exactly does she have to offer us other than being the pretty wife of the PM? What does she have to offer that thousands of others don't? What exactly is your desperation to defend this about anyway? She is not required to make any of these appearances, if she wants to be charitable, let her, let her do it like most others do, when she can, and because of her station in life, she can already do MUCH more than most, we are paying for that lifestyle already, if you want to help her in her 'work', you make a donation. Or better yet, donate to a real charity, and you sure as hell shouldn't need her to help you to do it, how many of us even knew her name before last year? How shallow do you need to be to feel empathy for her plight?

Best you could do?

Yes they brought out one of the heavy hitters to defend poor Sophie. She has so many requests to appear you see, and while she truly hates to be seen, (i mean it's obvious...), she just can't deny her public the opportunity to hear her sing or say some empty platitudes about some thing or another, the poor dear is just a 'tall poppy', though im not sure what exactly of substance she's done to deserve that moniker, but im not a liberal, im not impressed by the empty vacuity of the Trudeau ruling family. In any case, she clearly has important things to add to our society, things to give and enlighten us with that i can't appreciate. But I don't understand how this is about us meanies trying to keep a woman in her place, or how clearly over worked she must be, while having no actual job that she must attend, I mean, some parents make 'choices' that involve going to work because they have to, while not having free nannies, chef, driver, and whatever else comes with the free house, the 300k salary her husband brings home, not even to mention access to their significant personal wealth. Some women in fact manage to have a busy life filled with volunteer work, while having a family of their own and none of those enormous, paid for by someone else advantages. They must be the true super women. I honestly don't much care if she had more 'help', but to frame this argument as though she is somehow indispensable to the nation, that she is doing work that must be done, that she herself would obviously rather be home raising her family, but she just can't deny us her wisdom, well it's difficult no to laugh, or cry, and how ludicrous it all is. Yes, maybe it's hard to attack them with substance, but that would be because neither of them seems to have any.

Its pretty apalling how nakedly some are wanting to have the system gamed in their favor. Harper spent a decade, even before being elected, being called every name in the book, and never even approached this level of alteration to our democracy. If he had changed it in someway that produced the magnitude of advantage the liberals are likely to give them selves, i shudder to think what the reaction from the 'democracy lovers' would have been. As it was, their government was constantly called illegitimate for having the same percentage of vote as the current, so legitimate liberal government, that they can completely change and game the system, without any complaints of ligitimacy from those same people. Its pretty clear, as it truly always was, who the real haters of democracy, who the real fascists are.

Just another day.

Plus you know, the wars, the death cults, terrible water management and land use policies, and your normal everyday drought. Climate change is a tiny part of that problem, just as it is for the fire in Alberta, but you don't want to talk about that, reality doesn't further your politics.

To get a sense of the size of this fire, consider that its only burned parts of the city, and then look at this image http://worldview.earthdata.nasa.gov/?p=geographic&l=VIIRS_SNPP_CorrectedReflectance_TrueColor(hidden),MODIS_Aqua_CorrectedReflectance_TrueColor(hidden),MODIS_Terra_CorrectedReflectance_TrueColor,Reference_Labels(hidden),Reference_Features(hidden),Coastlines&t=2014-08-20&v=-117.903409626157,59.93793969541184,-109.465909626157,64.30170922666184 Those dark, almost purple patches were fires that burned in 2014, some of them are 50 or 60 miles wide, there are dozens of them large enough to cover any major city, there are historical reports of fires that covered much of the prairies in one summer, but a small fire in the wrong place, and the sad global warming fanatic tries to take advantage, what a surprise.

Yes, a fanatic, and someone who knows little to nothing about the subject, it's a perfect time for those people to speak.

It's a relatively small fire that happened in the worse place, it's nothing compared to the fires in the NWT 2 years ago.

The moderation standards here create an environment that is equivalent to a play pen for stupid children and people who are only interested in doing their best within the rules trolling. Some of these people like the above are good for nothing but this, but their stupidity is almost celebrated. There are too many others of this ilk to name, stupid rules for stupid people on a poorly managed forum. Let them have it.

Phew, i mean, what a travesty it would be if we let great nations like Pakistan, Argentina and Columbia get even further ahead of us in years served on the council. Hopefully we will get to ineffectually serve besides some of the better known African nations ruled by murdering despots while the permanent members simply do whatever they were going to do with or without us. But hey, it's worth the money to pump the tires of mushy headed liberals, think of how many more times the poor dears will be able to pat themselves on the back for how good we are.

How many other countries would easily be considered worse? Most people don't criticize Israel because they are anti Semites, they are just piling on to a fashionable left wing cause for the down trodden that is in large part originated by anti Semites who like to use those bleeding hearts to their advantage, this exact practice happens over and over again on many issues including this one. If it was only about how one country treats those around it, those who tried to destroy it no less, then the list of greater offenders of these principles would be so long that Israel would barely be mentioned, now ask yourself why it is instead always at the top of the list? The university of Victoria is allowing a scholarship to be given out to students in the memory of Mao, murderer of tens of millions, it's privately sponsored but clearly the University should not be allowing this, now, want to bet on whether there is an out cry over this that compares to the BDS movement at U Vic? Think that has nothing to do with the shared ideology of most protesters? Im not defending Israel, some criticism is deserved, im defending the idea that their isn't an underlying bias, which be any reasonable measure, there clearly is.

They just aren't able to grasp it.

Yep, im overwhelmed at the sincerity of the op.
