What do these extremists have to do with Canadian Muslims? In Canada their greatest concern is people like you who try to incite hatred and violence against them, encouraging unstable Canadian extremists to shoot and kill them while they pray.

Hold the line to stop them from having their hate speech rally.

Most Muslims in Canada are no more "bastards" than you. Stop smearing Canadian Muslims in this thread.

And hold the line.

Extremist 'Islamist' terrorists seldom/never attend mosque.

You don't see that Muslim members of our communities are threatened by your blanket association with extremist terrorists? We are not just talking about terrorists. They do not represent Islam. They co-opt Islam and defile it. Like 'Christian' terrorists. Islamophobia - lumping all Muslims with extremists - hurts Canadian communities. So piss off. Add: This thread is about anti-Muslim 'Nationalists' in Canada, addressing our own problems. I wish all you war nuts would stay in the International forum. Some people might actually want to seek solutions to Canadian problems.

I don't believe you comprehend the difference between ordinary people and extremists. It's immature and hateful to smear all Muslims because of dangerous extremists who are not even religious.

Interesting. So you blame a religion for terrorism? What about Nazis? Doesn't terrorism arise without or in spite of religion? Should we not address the issue of terrorism itself, rather than being distracted into flailing wildly at an entire religion ... like the Nazis did?

6000 crossed there. "The tender is seeking accommodations for 200 people." Get your facts staight before blubbering.

Here's my new favourite comedian: Pal of yours?

One is entitled to defend oneself when the Nazis are attacking to break through the line. If the noise bothers you, take your pals and go home.

No. Letting Nazis spread hatred ... that's a disturbance of the peace. Chants, drums, music ... that's not disturbing ... except to the Nazis. Oh well.

Sounds about right to me. Hitler said we shouldn't have let them rally and spread the hate. On that now.

Speaking of Nazis ... GOOD NEW!! Stormfront, internet’s oldest white supremacist website, forced to shut down https://www.google.ca/amp/globalnews.ca/news/3700945/stormfront-white-supremacists-website-shut-down/amp/ BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — The founder of the internet’s oldest white supremacist site said he was trying to get back online Monday after a company revoked its domain name following complaints that it promotes hatred and is linked to dozens of murders. Don Black, a former Ku Klux Klan leader who has operated stormfront.org since 1995, said he didn’t receive any warning before Network Solutions blocked the use of the stormfront.org name on Friday. And here: Web's oldest neo-Nazi site taken offline https://www.google.ca/amp/www.foxnews.com/tech/2017/08/30/webs-oldest-neo-nazi-site-taken-offline.amp.html Former Ku Klux Klan chief and Stormfront founder Don Black says he can't access the site or transfer the domain to another provider. That means any future version of Stormfront will likely have to restart from the ground up. ... Add: The Southern Poverty Law Center has referred to Stormfront as the "murder capital of the Internet." Through 2014, more than 100 murders had been attributed to Stormfront users, and the site had an unusually high number of mass murderers posting on it.

I hear the numbers have trailed off quite a bit. Probably not much for you to get too anxious about.

I think it's cumbersome and unnecessary. More countries could participate on a smaller more sustainable scale. It's all the same on TV.

They're in tents. It was 4c there last night. The processing takes months. Have you got a better idea?

Lots of countries could participate if sports were distributed. All in one place doesn't make sense anymore.

https://www.google.ca/amp/www.cbc.ca/amp/1.4269813 Olympic venues that lie underused after the games is a longstanding problem, and lately hurt the reputation of the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. So incredibly wasteful. This unsustainable one-country spectacle and burden needs to be rethought. Instead, spread the Olympics over several countries, using existing facilities, or building new facilities that do make sense for long term use for that community. We can specialize in some sports and maintain those facilities longterm. And broadcast: When you're watching the Olympics on TV/internet like most of us, it makes no difference whether they're in one country or several. Easy peasy. I love the Olympics, but I am now embarrassed about the waste of money and facilities that results from the one-country model for putting on this spectacle. I've put this in Local Politics because ultimately, a community hosts events and deals with the aftermath.

You just have to follow the embedded link in my quote to find them, Argus. The Diversity Dividend The WES data set revealed a strong positive, significant relationship between ethnocultural diversity in the workplace and both increased workplace productivity and revenue. Specifically, a one percent increase in ethnocultural diversity was associated with an average 2.4 percent increase in revenue across the 7,900 workplaces surveyed. Similarly, a one percent increase in ethnocultural diversity was associated with an average 0.5 percent increase in workplace productivity. Positive revenue growth was found in 13 out of 14 sectors measured and positive productivity growth in nine out of 14 sectors. As noted in Figure 3, the Canadian industries with the strongest performance boost were information and cultural industries, business services and transportation, warehousing and wholesale, with an increase in revenue of more than three percent. Other industries, including secondary product manufacturing, transportation, communications/ utilities and forestry, mining, oil and gas extraction all showed above-average results. Assessing the statistical findings did, however, produce a classic dilemma of which came first, workplace diversity or economic prosperity? So, while there are very strong relationships in diversity and economic prosperity indicators in the quantitative data findings, it was necessary to speak to business and other stakeholders and to look at the academic literature to help explain the potential mechanisms or causes. The Business Perspective To complement the quantitative research, the authors hosted round tables in seven cities with more than 100 of Canada’s leading private- and public-sector employers, as well as with industry associations, labour unions, settlement organizations, and provincial and municipal officials. Executives confirmed what the quantitative data shows: workplace diversity is good for business. They also explained why this is the case. I'm not quoting "why". You can read it for yourself.

If you don't trust the media report, check the source article: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0305750X16304867 It's just a summary, but clarifies that the study uses: ... a broad notion of subsidies arising when consumer prices are below supply costs plus environmental costs and general consumption taxes. That is, environmental damage from the fossil fuel industries is considered a 'public subsidy', a cost to the public. The US .... is not the lead subsidizer, as you claim in error, but second highest after China: China was the biggest subsidizer in 2013 ($1.8 trillion), followed by the United States ($0.6 trillion), and Russia, the European Union, and India (each with about $0.3 trillion). These are gross amounts, not adjusted for population. Order of population sizes is: China, India, EU, US, Russia. Add: https://www.thestar.com/amp/business/2015/11/11/canadian-fossil-fuel-industry-gets-274b-handout-report.html Annual U.S. subsidies amounted to $20.5 billion, which on a per capita basis is 20 per cent lower than Canadian levels. The report considers a subsidy any dollar value associated with direct spending or lost tax revenue in a government budget. (IE, does not include environmental costs.) True that ALL of the infrastructure for EV's isn't there yet. But the longer range EV battery technology now exists, and the electricity infrastructure exists. Adding sufficient charger stations for long trips & larger commercial vehicles is minor infrastructure. Most personal and some commercial users will just charge overnight at home/business for their daily local travel needs. I think you're overly pessimistic, but I understand that the fast-coming changes will be very difficult for some in the fossil-fuel energy sector.

"While the prime minister calls on people escaping Trump's America to follow the rules, experts say Canada is nowhere near its economic limits for immigration." http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/refugees-trump-economics-canada-1.4262471 Evidence shows immigrants don't eat a piece of a limited pie. They make the pie bigger. "The first generation may struggle, but what Statistics Canada has actually shown is that the children of immigrants do very well and that's across the immigrant categories," says Clark-Kazak. "One would expect the children of highly skilled workers to do well, but actually the children of refugees also are more likely, for example, go to university than Canadian-born," she says. Of course such a system would likely break down if, as in some Middle Eastern countries, the refugee population were bigger than that of the original host country, but studies around the world have shown that more moderate, but still high, levels of immigration are consistent with economic success. Others show immigration has no net effect. Half a million a year "There have been many many studies that show when it comes to Canada we could absorb, easily, 500,000 immigrants a year," says CIGI's Bessma Momani, co-author of the book Diversity Dividend: Canada's Global Advantage. That half million economic capacity compares to the current intake of between 200,000 and 300,000. Canada's population is aging. Without immigration Statistics Canada says growth would stall. This is the economic reality of the net effects of immigrants and refugees coming to Canada: Zero to positive effects on the economy. Rather, the concerns a minority of Canadians express often reflect cultural and racial biases. I suspect that those concerns are minimal among those of us who interact daily with diverse cultures in Canada's urban core areas. I suspect that many of those who express racial/cultural concerns may have fears of the 'unknown', something that is unfamiliar to them. I read something about deprogramming white supremacists that said the sickness primarily arises from childhood trauma and fear. IE, it's an anxiety disorder and it often responds to treatment as such.

Yes, the Nazi cancer must be shut down.
