I find that ridiculous. I don't think you've experienced the neighbourhoods you're talking absolute nonsense about. Multiculturalism is alive and well in our cities, neighbourhoods, and especially in our schools. Certain lower cost neighbourhoods in cities have always been flooded with successive waves of immigrants from the latest international wars, invasions and disasters. Irish, Polish, Czech, Jewish, Italian, Vietnamese, and now Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria ... The costumes and customs and food smells change but what is always true is that the kids integrate in schools and are soon indistinguishable from the previous waves of immigrants. The families prosper and move on to better housing ... and a new wave arrives. Multiculturalism isn't something Canada created, it is just a fact that Canada acknowledges. The "isolated cultural groups" you whine about are usuaĺly only 'grouped' by the availability of cheap or public housing on arrival, and disperse as they prosper and buy homes elsewhere. It's a load of nothing, bs, lack of knowledge you spew, and it's dangerous xenophobia, imo. Multiculturalism isn't failing at all. That's just the ranting mantra of white supremacists.

Those who were still anti-feminist - eg, who are incapable of seeing sexual harassment for what it is, or who think women 'deserve' to be raped if they go to a man's place - when burkas appeared, they suddenly wanted to rip them off to protect the poor women from the oppression of their MUSLIM husbands. It's disingenuous. They are not trying to protect women. It's just anti-Muslim.

It covers the main embassy in Moscow, as well as missions in St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg and Vladivostok.

You get it. It takes a generation for change. And she is free here. It works, but it takes time.

I don't speak for them, but that's my experience to date, a lot of young professionals in blue jeans, who grew up here. Where there are issues, there are resources, legal processes, support.

This discussion is about "Islamophobia in Canada". Your claim to speak for Muslim Canadian women ... to tell them what they should and shouldn't do, wear and be ... is disingenuous, sexist, and Islamophobic, imo.

http://mindy-fischer-writer.com/2017/07/conservative-peggy-noonan-absolutely-humiliates-trump-masculinity/ Speaking of Trump, as we are ... OMG, Peggy Noonan nails it! "Noonan said that instead of being a leader, Trump is “whiny, weepy and self-pitying. He throws himself, sobbing, on the body politic. He’s a drama queen.” ... Noonan said Trump’s tweets demonstrate “utter weakness.” “It’s all whimpering accusation and finger-pointing: ‘Nobody’s nice to me. Why don’t they appreciate me?'” ... She called Trump’s attacks “limp, lame and blubbery.” ... Donald Trump now is like an unfunny Woody Allen.” Trump is such a whiner and sniggering locker room 13 year old boy ... I also can't see how anyone who likes to think of himself as a real man would possibly support that.

The only white people in Canada that I've heard use the n word are neonazi/white supremacists. It is not widely used. I can tell who you hang with up here.

"All"? I see a lot of Muslim women in my city, only a very few in burkas. I worked for a Muslim woman, a senior manager. I have had Muslim men and women doctors as houseguests. None of them fit your stereotype, and it's unlikely that any of them want you speaking for them. You do need to ask. Because what you have been saying doesn't seem to me to represent the reality of Muslim Canadians. Instead, it just sounds like generalized smearing of a people/culture/religion based on stereotypes mired in extremism.

"Inspires" them ... to what?

Gee! I'm sorry I missed that! That would be a little hair raising. bcsapper have you asked any Muslim women whether they want you speaking for them? Just curious ... I found it soooooo amusing that in the last decade or so, the men who were so stridently anti-feminist for decades suddenly and miraculously became feminists. It's so hypocritical. Because it isn't about women's rights at all. It's just another tactic in your anti-Muslim campaigns. I really think you should stop disingenuously pretending to speak on behalf of Muslim women. It's just really tacky.

I assume any people known to be radical extremists would be refused entry. It's unclear what banning all people from Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen will accomplish. I'm quite sure the vast majority of people from those countries are not Islamic extremists, and many aren't even Muslim. It's just a big cheesy show.

Khadr has already said that he confessed and took the plea deal so he wouldn't go back to Gitmo, and he does not remember if he threw the grenade, but he hopes he didn't. The appeal will clarify.

He's appealing his conviction based on that confession-under-duress. He was a skinny 80 pound badly injured 15 year old trying to impress other inmates that he was tough, and telling his interrogators what they wanted to hear - ie, trying to stay alive and be as safe as possible in horrible circumstances. I doubt it will stand up to scrutiny in a proper court appeal.

That's for a complete ban on all fossil fuel vehicles. Production will slow considerably well before that.

I think it's more likely that other nations will try to behave differently than the great orange doofus.

You can google that info. It's negligible IMO, just a stupid excuse, a distraction from the fact that the Trump presidency is in a major meltdown. We hope. But we don't care really. It's just entertainment.

It's most disgusting that police laughed and applauded Trump's call for police brutality. As if they don't already have enough problems with violent members! And that group behaviour certainly suggests it's police culture that is the problem, not just 'a few bad apples'. International Association of Police Chiefs talks back: http://m.huffingtonpost.ca/entry/international-police-chief-association-respond-trump-brutality-speech_us_597bfc86e4b02a4ebb759b22 Law enforcement officials from around the world released a statement in apparent response to President Donald Trump’s speech Friday to cops in New York in which he appeared to encourage police brutality. After his speech, the International Association of Police Chiefs published a blog post that detailed its use-of-force policies and training, highlighting the need for officers to “ensure that any use of force is carefully applied and objectively reasonable.” The association explained that officers are trained to treat all individuals “with dignity and respect.” “This is the bedrock principle behind the concepts of procedural justice and police legitimacy,” the IAPC wrote. Police officers who giggle and snigger about getting away with violence against citizens only degrade public respect and confidence in police in general, making police in general more at risk of violence against them. Any officers laughing about police brutality, think about the importance of public respect next time you need cooperation from the public. People will be walking away, refusing to talk, terrified of the police and uncooperative, fighting back. YOU GET WHAT YOU GIVE! We pay your salaries. You work for us. If you just want to beat on people, organized crime has a position for criminals like you. Do your violence in dark alleys like other criminals, always looking over your shoulder afraid of going to jail ... like other criminals. But you don't get to do it without consequence on the public payroll! Michael Theriault almost got away with a violent racist attack it because his daddy works in the Professional Standards Branch of the Toronto Police Services. We're coming for you, a**hole! And your brother and your daddy too!

"I'm not trying to suck my own cock" To a reporter. By the Communications director of the US of A. TFF Sounds like a gangster. Coincidence? Then he says: I made a mistake in trusting in a reporter. It won't happen again. Reporters report. This is not news to him, surely. He didn't even ask to be off the record!

I think you're right. It's all about distraction from his complete failure on health care.

The new USA ... ? Thanks Scaramucci! Trump was getting predictably stupider and boring. http://www.newyorker.com/news/ryan-lizza/anthony-scaramucci-called-me-to-unload-about-white-house-leakers-reince-priebus-and-steve-bannon Scaramucci called The New Yorker and said ... “Reince is a fucking paranoid schizophrenic, a paranoiac,” Scaramucci said. He channelled Priebus as he spoke: “ ‘Oh, Bill Shine is coming in. Let me leak the fucking thing and see if I can cock-block these people the way I cock-blocked Scaramucci for six months.’ ” I’ve done nothing wrong on my financial disclosures, so they’re going to have to go fuck themselves.” "I’m not Steve Bannon, I’m not trying to suck my own cock,” he said, speaking of Trump’s chief strategist. “I’m not trying to build my own brand off the fucking strength of the President. I’m here to serve the country.” "What I want to do is I want to fucking kill all the leakers" Hmm ... I guess this plays well to Trump followers?! Just sayin'

Trump had some kind of knee-jerk twitter fit and banned Trans people from the military. Several thousand serving Trans US soldiers wonder what this means for their jobs and careers. What do you think is going to happen? THE MILITARY IS OFFICIALLY IGNORING TRUMP’S TRANSGENDER ORDER The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff says tweets don’t count as policy. http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/07/joint-chiefs-transgender-ban-military Good for them.

Your definition of terrorism is just obfuscation, Rue, which I would expect from you given your broad anti-Muslim Zionist agenda. My definition is pretty clear and simple, and applies to radical so-called 'Islamic' extremists as well as the western powers who perpetrate hatred for greedy purposes. "Terrorism is propagating hatred, inciting - and arming - violence." In fact, the west created 'Islamic' extremists to serve it's own greedy purposes. Who is making money from selling the arms in Syria? The purpose of inciting violent terrorism is greed ... for money (arms sales), resources (oil, etc) or land (Israel/Palestine). Violent terrorism would not exist without greed.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-07-27/shell-ceo-van-beurden-says-his-next-car-will-be-electric Hmm ... ! And this: https://www.thestar.com/business/2017/07/26/uk-follows-france-in-banning-new-gas-and-diesel-cars-by-2040.html

"The article quoted President Barack Obama as saying that he had asked the CIA to conduct the review to find cases of “financing and supplying arms to an insurgency in a country that actually worked out well. And they couldn’t come up with much.” That about covers it. Useless but PROFITABLE fake wars. Terrorism against people, Only for profit.
