Just enough that it won't happen again. He's due to be replaced anyway.

Yes we have the legal right to share the land, by treaties. There was no conquer, no surrender. Indigenous Peoples retain their land rights in Canada. Don't confuse us with the USA. We made treaties long after they stopped.

You're carrying on about "radical Islam". Terrorism has nothing to do with religion. Terrorists don't practice religion. They're just violent fanatics, created and sustained by the USA to justify wars-for-profit. You have to create enemies to create wars to sell arms, etc, and to justify taking over countries and stealing their resources. It isn't about religion. It's just about profit.

How absolutely ridiculous. The USA created Islamic terrorism for its wars-for-profit.

You are loonie toons.

That's a load of nonsense. If you are really concerned about safety, you have more to fear from drunk drivers than terrorists. But I think you're just a racist propagandist. I hope it's just an act and you're getting paid for it. Because would be really stupid to actually waste your life in such silly paranoid fears.

Wow. Either you are dumb and brainwashed, or you are paid to do the rich man's propaganda.

Yes to that re drunk drivers, typically repeat chronic offenders. Regarding this case, it was also repeated offences and he seemed determined to defy their wishes. Also, that last incident of him slamming the snow shovel around loudly sounded like threat and intimidation to me.

Then we are naive. We all need to stand down and stop fighting the rich man's wars-for-profit.

Sooooo true! Create an enemy, create 'wars' so you can sell arms etc. Such a scam.

Those would be "the disgruntled who don't really understand the implications." AND... the CSIS/CIA 'security' trolls here doing what they're paid to do ... brainwash and blow the dog whistles for "the disgruntled who don't really understand the implications". Either way, the intelligent discussion is over.

Looking at the reality, it's clear that neither Liberals nor Conservatives would really want this to go to trial, so I think we can put that idea to bed: http://craigforcese.squarespace.com/national-security-law-blog/2017/7/11/a-once-final-parsing-of-the-legal-context-for-the-khadr-sett.html Either way, if you fight a trial, here’s what will happen: There's a great irony here: Those who believe that Khadr was mistreated, you would think would be the ones wanting government and security malfeasance exposed at a trial. But we're not demanding heads on spikes. Those who believe Khadr was an unrepentant 'terrorist' seem to be the ones demanding a trial ... that would only expose government and security malfeasance. IE, they'd get the wrong heads on their spikes. Lol I doubt that ANY government, party or security establishment really wants Khadr's settlement to be fought further in court. Just a lot of empty sabre rattling now, and words of the disgruntled who don't really understand the implications.

Ya, I agree. I don't understand why this one soldier's death in combat 15 years ago warrants such a lawsuit. What about all other soldiers?

They weren't conquered, never surrendered. We made peace treaties for use of the land. Indigenous peoples have legal rights on the land.

The terrorists are winning.

Still making it up as you go, eh drummindiver. I say wait for the appeal process. If the US actually allows it to proceed, they'll have to produce their evidence. But I suspect they'll find a quick technical reason to overturn his conviction to avoid producing the truth. IE, because he was coerced into 'confessing' under threat of returning to Gitmo indefinitely with no trial. Since he's already served his time, nothing is lost.

Battery capacity is the leap that makes EV's viable, and renewable energy sources too: https://www.technologyreview.com/s/608273/grid-batteries-are-poised-to-become-cheaper-than-natural-gas-plants-in-minnesota/ "According to the University of Minnesota’s Energy Transition Lab, starting in 2019 and for the foreseeable future, the overall cost of building grid-scale storage there will be less than that of building natural-gas plants to meet future energy demand."

"Wild eyed jack leg" Not sure what that is but ... interesting turn of phrase. For your entertainment: "It'll never work" https://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/neverwrk.htm "This `telephone' has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a practical form of communication. The device is inherently of no value to us. - Western Union internal memo, 1878" "...transport by railroad car would result in the emasculation of our troops and would deprive them of the option of the great marches which have played such an important role in the triumph of our armies. - Dominique Francois Arago (1786-1853)"

Read the article.

All of those limitations are fast disappearing as the technology is improving leaps and bounds now. That was the point of the article. Did you read it?

No it wouldn't. People adapt. And yes, the truckers would complain ... and then they would adapt. Nothing changes until there's a force for change.

I understand that my grocery store, bus, drug store, entertainment and everything I need are within a 5-10 min walk for me, so yes my situation is different than many ... not because I live in a city though: My small town childhood was the same. I also know that living in a city, it often feels like there's little oxygen, not because of pollution per se - cars pollute much less these days, but internal combustion still eats up a lot of oxygen. There is a real need for EV's in cities, and banning internal combustion engines within city limits. Right now would be good. The car culture suits some, but I disliked living in the country because- what's the point! I spent much of my life in the car!

A logical temporary solution: http://www.cbc.ca/beta/news/canada/nova-scotia/cornwallis-statue-halifax-protest-removal-1.4206909 A group of about 150 protesters gathered in the park on Saturday morning with a plan to remove the statue. But a municipal truck arrived on the scene and crews informed the gathering they would shroud the monument as a sign of good faith. Cheers went up from the crowd as the monument disappeared under its new veil. Indigenous protesters said they will continue negotiating with the city to peacefully remove the statue. ... Tensions appeared to be high among some who gathered at the statue, as at least one man began shouting at the protesters and another showed up with a U.K. flag. Halifax Regional Police said Saturday morning that officers will be on the scene to ensure a peaceful demonstration can take place.

Done. Oh wait ... I don't have one.
