Canadian Armed Forces members linked to six hate groups: internal report https://globalnews.ca/news/5322011/canadian-armed-forces-members-linked-to-six-hate-groups-internal-report/amp/?__twitter_impression=true Canadian Armed Forces members have been linked to six hate groups since 2013, according to an internal report that said the issue was damaging the military’s image. The report by the Military Police Criminal Intelligence Section said 16 members of the armed forces and reserves had been associated with hate groups. They were active in the Proud Boys, Atomwaffen Division, La Meute, Hammerskins Nation, III% and Soldiers of Odin, said the report obtained by Global News. ... But it said while 16 members of the armed forces had been linked to hate groups, and another 37 were alleged to have engaged in racist or hate-motivated conduct between 2013 and 2018, that represented only 0.1 per cent of the military population. ... Overall, the report found that 53 members had been singled out since January 2013, and 30 of them remained in the military. The total military population is 68,000 regular members and 27,000 reservists. ... It said that many racist groups were “paramilitary in nature,” and conducted weapons training and other exercises, making members of the military prized recruits. ... “Every single CAF member has a responsibility to act and report any instance of discriminatory conduct. Any complaint that is submitted is promptly reviewed and addressed,” she said. The outcome could range from counseling, recorded warnings, or probation to a lowering of rank, release from the military or charges under the National Defence Act. _____ Not a surprise, but a great concern given the paramilitary nature of some of those groups - ie, they are the seriously dangerous groups. It doesn't appear that any further action is being taken.

I've noticed that too. Those who live outside cities tend to be politically conservative and have less human contact to balance the political fear-mongering that occurs to divide people against 'immigrants' ... just to spite Liberals. Smacks of very ugly opportunism. I think it's shameful that politicians victimize rural people that way for personal political gain. I have a hard time reconciling that with the supposed Christian conservative element, who conduct or contribute to human rights support for marginalized people in developing countries ... but think it's somehow ok to villainize them in Canada. It just doesn't compute.

I just don't know what to say about Canada's cold greeting for traumatised refugees. http://www.macleans.ca/news/canada/a-yazidi-familys-traumatic-first-days-in-canada/?utm_medium=organic&utm_source=Facebook#Echobox=1558561755

What about yours? Canada is complicit with US takeovers, in the interests of Canadian mining companies.

I gave you sources and countries you can Google about how the US destabilized them in order to install a regime friendly to US corporate interests. Or read John Perkins book. Venezuela ... US sanctions to destabilize the country, and Juan Guaido is the US stooge they would like to install. The CIA tried to pull a coup there just this month ... but the people and army of Venezuela were not interested, chased Guaido and his little band of paid off supporters away. So now Trump is really pissed and threatening to send US troops in. First the CIA will likely try again to assassinate Maduro. His (and Chavez') only 'crime' was in nationalizing Venezuela's resources so the profits stay in the country to benefit Venezuelans ... instead of US corporations. There is no 'communist' threat. The US is the threat.

John Perkins: Confessions of an Economic Hitman He was one of the people doing the dirty work of the USA in taking economic control of countries to take all the profits from their resources. That's what the USA is doing to Venezuela right now. And Canada is involved too, because Canadian-registered mining companies want the mining profits from Venezuela. I guess the oil companies still have you bamboozled into being afraid of "Communists" under your bed. They've made a lot of profits, destroyed a lot of countries and bamboozled a lot of naive people on that lie.

Yes. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/john-perkins-new-confessi_b_11203198 Leaders who refused to cooperate with such plans would be picked off by CIA-supported "jackals". Thus the overthrow of Mohammad Mosaddegh in Iran (1953); the Jacobo Árbenz coup in Guatemala (1954); the Salvador Allende coup and murder in Chile (1973); the mysterious airplane explosions that killed Jaime Roldós in Ecuador and Omar Torrijos in Panama (1981); the overthrow and murder of Maurice Bishop in Grenada (1983); the bloody invasion and capture of Manuel Noriega in Panama (1989). Somehow Fidel Castro in Cuba successfully dodged dozens of assassination attempts. And now Venezuela.

Because Nazis and white supremacists are racists.

Indigenous Peoples are allies of the Crown, not subjects.

Merely referencing the relevant law. (There is only one Criminal Code in Canada.) https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/c-46/section-319.html Public incitement of hatred 319 (1) Every one who, by communicating statements in any public place, incites hatred against any identifiable group where such incitement is likely to lead to a breach of the peace is guilty of (a) an indictable offence and is liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years; or (b) an offence punishable on summary conviction. Wilful promotion of hatred (2) Every one who, by communicating statements, other than in private conversation, wilfully promotes hatred against any identifiable group is guilty of (a) an indictable offence and is liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years; or (b) an offence punishable on summary conviction. I guess it depends what you mean by polite. Lol

I never said that. I referred to the crime of 'inciting and promoting hatred'. Section 319, Criminal Code of Canada.

He and Ivanka stopped manufacturing in China?

That article contains no proof of rampant anti-Semitism in the NDP. Allegations and smears, but no proof. In fact, anti-Semitism and racism were addressed very early in the labour union movement: 'We can't stand together to face the company if we stand divided against each other.'

She's not a politician: Senators are not elected but appointed. She's a public employee. Lots of employers fire people for racism because it affects the employer's reputation and business. Government has the same right to do so. She should have been fired long ago just for being a brainless idiot. Nobody that dumb deserves $150k+/yr of my tax money!

The letters were on her Senate web site. They have now FINALLY been removed by the Senate, which also suspended her. That's debatable. Beyak's response to the Truth and Reconciliation report on the 'Indian' Residential Schools was to persistently insist that the schools had done a lot of good for most students ... except the 34,000 (of 80,000 still living) who received average $91k settlements for "serious physical, sexual and emotional" abuse, I guess? Not exactly a record of achievement to be bragged about. Is it hateful to dismiss the thousands seriously damaged because a few may not have been? ... or may have repressed it? https://bc.ctvnews.ca/b-c-chief-weeps-during-residential-schools-speech-1.795828 One of British Columbia's most prominent aboriginal leaders wept uncontrollably Friday as he told Canada's truth and reconciliation commission that he never fully realized the impact of Indian residential schools on his life until he heard survivors recount their own experiences at the hearings. Grand Chief Ed John, leader of the First Nations Summit, said the stories he heard while the commission was in Inuvik, N.W.T., tore open wounds he never realized were there. "I never realized the depth of my own story until I heard their stories," said John, who stood back from the podium, tried to start speaking again, but couldn't as the tears flowed. "It haunts me." ...He said he remembered looking at the mountains and thinking about running away to his home, but he never did. Three boys ran away once, but their frozen bodies were found nearby, he recalled. ...Wiping away tears, he apologized for "sounding like a bit of a blathering idiot up here." John paid tribute to B.C. aboriginals who testified in court about the abuse they endured at residential schools. Lynn Beyak did everything in her power to publicly dismiss and villainize residential school survivors of abuse who spoke out and testified, the only Parliamentarian in Canada to do so. Is that hateful? I would suggest that Lynn Beyak was using her position as Senator, and her Senate website to 'incite and promote hatred' against Indigenous people.

Calling an individual columnist Lorne Gunter a "racist idiot" is perhaps not polite. Posting letters on a website smearing all Indigenous people with racial stereotypes is racism. The state has a role in that, especially when it is the employer of the poster.

Gunter did not tell the truth about why Beyak was suspended. Call him what you want.

I can't answer those questions. It may be different in each municipality. Ask your municipality how they will regulate and enforce. Complaints from nearby residents play a large role up to now. Keep in mind that cities are also benefiting from drawing more people - business and holiday visitors who spend money in communities - so cities are not trying to ban Airbnb, just regulate it to reduce residents' complaints. MOST complaints relate to the commercial privateers, eg condo buildings with too many STR units, and too many complaints from other residents.

Gunter is a racist idiot and a liar: That's not why Beyak was suspended. She was suspended for her persistent and prolonged refusal to remove some constituents' racist letters from her GOVERNMENT website. She was first kicked off a Senate Aboriginal committee, then she was kicked out of the Conservative caucus and Party by Andrew Scheer, who read out one of the offensive letters and called it "racist". (Not sure why Conservatives on here are still defending her, when she's been booted out of your Party by your Leader.) She sat as an Independent Senator until now, still refusing to remove the racist letters from her GOVERNMENT website. So now she's finally suspended and her GOVERNMENT website has finally been shut down. Good.

Thank you. I still think your knee-jerk "ban Airbnb" response is not appropriate. It's important to assess where the problems really lie, and address that. Toronto, Vancouver and New York City, the most expensive and difficult cities for housing. And the most susceptible to predatory developers and realtors renting multiple STR purpose-bought or -built homes and units. I think the suggestion of only allowing STR's for your principal residence is quite reasonable. Owner's with multiple listings in different locations certainly should be limited and regulated. It's tricky, though, because companies still skirt around it by having multiple staff listed as 'hosts' on Airbnb. I think the "commercial profiteer" label for them is appropriate.

She should have removed those. 80,000 were still alive during the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. http://www.iap-pei.ca/story-eng.php 38,000 submitted claims for serious physical, sexual and emotional abuse. Over 34,000 were awarded settlements. (Average $91k) Likely another 34,000 deserved them, but they were already deceased. Not a small number. Yes. And he lost. She likely does. She's a racist idiot.

You claimed that Airbnb is causing shortages in long term rentals. I just asked for your evidence supporting that claim. You haven't provided any yet.

I didn't ask what Jordan Peterson thinks "equity" is. Can you show me (link) where there is Jacobin/McCarthyism/Salem Witch Trial/Spanish Inquisition/Stalininist 'equity' law or government policy that you're complaining about?

Oh, that's mature thinking!
