That is a true statement. I do not know. I cannot look at statistics before the war on terror as the geopolitical scene was vastly different. I however would be willing to cut the spending to $0 and roll the dice.

Of course we do. How much money globally is spent annually on terror related expenditures? USA alone spent $16 Billion USD in 2013. http://thinkbynumbers.org/government-spending/anti-terrorism-spending-disproportionate-to-threat/ How many people are affected by terrorism in a year? 17 Americans were killed by "terror" attacks in the same period. http://blogs.cfr.org/zenko/2012/06/05/how-many-americans-are-killed-by-terrorism/ I cannot confirm these as facts as they were just result of a quick Google search. I imagine that these are within the correct ballpark.

It is far riskier to take a ride in a vehicle than it is to be a victim of a terror attack in Canada. Likely almost everywhere in the world. The numbers don't lie. Maybe this new legislation may prevent an attack. Maybe it will do nothing other than strip away the rights we once fought to keep. Regardless, I would rather be without this additional restraint placed on my freedoms and rights even if there is a minuscule reduction in my safety. The amount of money spent on the illusion of terror/war on terror is in error!

ARGUS, Spend 20 minutes and learn how wrong you really are.

Argus. A few pages back is a video link I urged you to watch. I bet you haven't. There was a debate on just this topic of inequality on Islam and women. The facts were presented and then if you care to look further they were independently reviewed and proven factual in a follow up video I can post a link to. It was a big news story on CNN and that is how I followed it. Instead of banter get educated.

In Islam a woman is equal to a man. In some countries with Muslim majorities the culture of the country is responsible for the hardships on women. Not Islam. Educate yourself. I have. Some Muslim countries have women leaders. USA has never had a woman President.

I think that if I was her I would have just taken it off to get into this great country. I am not as brave as her. I am proud of what is she is fighting for and she has the right to wear what she wants. I hope the best for her and her family in Canada.

I have been employed continuous since 1995. I have no concerns about weathering another downturn. There is always a need for a good electrician. I do not work in the oil patch and this downturn seems to be nowhere near the depths of a few years ago. That being said, there is no guarantees. I also wouldn't like to see my neighbours struggling either. I cannot imagine voting for Harper. I have in the past, I will never again. I do not know anything about the other candidates... minus the attack ads etc.

I have come to the conclusion that has cemented my previous suspicions. It is not the Niqab or the Hijab that is the problem. It is just those damn Muslims coming to our country in the first place. Isn't that right Captain Canada? Sound about right Argus?

There is more to Islam than the Qaran. These are called Hadith and Sunnah. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadith http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunnah Muslims who follow the Qaran also follow the above as well. Here is an example regarding women covering their hair. http://www.irfi.org/articles/women_in_islam/is_head_cover_for_women_mandator.htm

Female mutilation is not an Islamic thing. I don't know how this misconception can be credited to the Qaran. Watch this video please. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzusSqcotDw

OMG please stand back and look at the outlandish statements. You have a greater chance of dying slipping on the ice than by a terror attack in Canada... Yes Canada... a country that already has well over 1 Million Muslims in it already. Yes over 1 Million of these bombers that are spreading their terror and explosives around our cities everyday. Our infrastructure is in ruins and terror training recruitment mosques are at every corner. People are being forced to convert everywhere at gunpoint... Relax. Get in your car and drive to work. You should worry more about that than anything else as it is likely the most risky thing you have to do in your daily life. Car crashes claim more lives in one year than ALL of the Canadians that have died from terror attacks EVER. If your so scared about a non-threat maybe you should focus on reality. Per 2011 stats on fatal accidents http://www.tc.gc.ca/media/documents/roadsafety/TrafficCollisionStatisitcs_2011.pdf

Back to my point previously. We came to Canada and did not what the aboriginals did. We ASSIMILATED and pillaged. It is harassment when you blatantly tell someone they are not acceptable to your standards. You were likely a bully in school and it never ended there... am I right to assume?

The thanks for the replies. I guess I have to prioritize my wish list and start from the top down making concessions one the way.

Some forms of music offend me. Some types of relationships in public offend me. Some tv shows and movies offend me. Some forums I visit offend me. If I don't like it it is my duty to turn the other way, not try to change everyone else who is fine with it.
