Energy East Causing Uproar

The question is oil or renewable energy. Try to keep up with the technology, eh?! . -

Absolute nonsense. .

Yes.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wahhabism Many Sunni and Shia Muslims disagree with the Wahhabi movement, and a widely circulated conspiracy theory holds it to have been a product of British secret service efforts for causing the demise of the Ottoman empire.[34] Ulema, including Al-Azhar scholars, regularly denounce Wahhabism in terms such as "Satanic faith".[34] Wahhabism has been accused of being "a source of global terrorism",[35][36] inspiring the ideology of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL),[37] and for causing disunity in Muslim communities by labelling Muslims who disagreed with the Wahhabi definition of monotheism as apostates[38] (takfir) and justifying their killing.[39][40][41] It has also been criticized for the destruction of historic mazaars, mausoleums, and other Muslim and non-Muslim buildings and artifacts. Wahabis kill more moderate Muslims than they do westerners. Archaic, brutal, violently expansive, used and funded by Saudi and western nations too to destabilize countries and depose leaders to gain access to their resources. .

Hunh ... "de-radicalize or halt radicalization" of people under surveillance would be an improvement over creating crimes and entrapping hapless people - Nuttall and Karody - or no effort to halt radicalization, and then shooting him. .

That's a side issue. The real issue is the NEB colluding with private interests: lawyer-demands-public-inquiry-reassignment-neb-management-over-charest-affair The letter makes seven demands, including calls for the temporary reassignment of all senior officials associated with the Energy East pipeline controversy, starting with the federal regulator's chairman and chief executive, Peter Watson. The demands were prompted by revelations made last week by a National Observer investigation into a private meeting held in January 2015 between several NEB representatives and former Quebec premier Jean Charest, who was working for Calgary-based pipeline operator TransCanada Corp. at the time. The legal letter was sent by Dominique Neuman, a lawyer representing two Quebec advocacy groups that are intervening in the ongoing hearings into the Energy East pipeline project: Stratégie Énergétiques and the Association Québécoise de la Lutte contre la Pollution Atmosphérique (AQPLA). If accepted, the demands, sent to the NEB's secretary, Sheri Young, would target senior management at the Calgary-based regulator while suspending federal hearings that formally got under way this week in Saint John, New Brunswick on TransCanadas proposed Energy East pipeline. Oops! Caught! . -
Police entrapment: Nuttall and Korody freed
jacee replied to jacee's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
At a minimum, yes. You do not understand developmentally challenged and disturbed people. They are very gullible, eager to please and unaware of consequences. Does a young child know when he points a gun like they do on tv that his brother is actually going to die? No. It's playing ... playacting. Kids shoot themselves and others that way all the time. The RCMP understood that the couple was not capable of those crimes, all raving delusions of grandeur with no goal-directed action. The officers had to work really hard, and go way over the line, to coerce them and entrap them. These are disabled and disturbed adults with the minds of playacting children, albeit with gruesome fantasies, and they were preyed upon by the RCMP. . -
I don't agree with BigGuy's name-calling. And I also don't agree with Israel's 'methods'. From BigGuy's link: Amnesty International's report for 2015-16 says Shin Bet personnel "tortured and otherwise ill-treated Palestinian detainees ... particularly during arrest and interrogation", while a study published last year in a peer-reviewed medical journal found that "sexual ill-treatment is systemic". Commenting on the issue in general, Sari Bashi, Israel and Palestine country director at Human Rights Watch, told Al Jazeera how provisions that "suspend due process protections for suspects", intended for "emergency situations", are used "quite routinely against Palestinian detainees". Torture may elicit what you demand to hear, but it won't necessarily be the truth: Last week, World Vision said that "based on the information available to us at this time, we have no reason to believe that the allegations are true". On Monday, World Vision International CEO Kevin Jenkins pointed to discrepancies in the Shin Bet charges: "World Vision's cumulative operating budget in Gaza for the past 10 years was approximately $22.5m, which makes the alleged amount of up to $50m being diverted hard to reconcile." .

Controversy brings more attention to the Palestinian 'question'. Not a bad thing. Those discussions are useful for educating people about Israel's aggressive land grabs - Palestinian land, without the Palestinian people who live there. Maybe "Zionism's influence over western politics" will backfire. The more heavy handed it appears, the more people are aware and paying attention, the less welcome it will be. Perhaps. Peace does not lie in victory or defeat or silencing the other. Peace lies in the desire to live peacefully. .

Or run the business smarter, lower their profit expectation a smidgen. Because business (as described by you) is more predatory here? Because business (according to you) expects to underpay and discard employees easily, and demands that the 'government' - ie, Canadian people - provide a safety net so you don't have to take responsibility for fair treatment of employees? A minimum wage we have. We need a livable minimum wage. And we need, and we have, many responsible employers who run business in a smart and fair manner. Perhaps you're not among them. .

Well well well ... The military now weighs in on Energy East! canadian-military-official-fears-energy-east-pipeline-will-lead-to-epic-disaster Canada's Department of National Defence (DND) has serious concerns that a major pipeline project proposed by Calgary-based energy company TransCanada Corp. will lead to a "disaster of epic proportions," reported Radio-Canada on Tuesday, based on a series of internal emails. The Department also doubts whether the company has the capacity to clean up in the event of a disaster, the French-language public broadcaster reported. The report noted that the pipeline's proposed route would go near a half dozen Canadian Forces bases as well as cutting right through a base in Petawawa, to the northwest of Ottawa. But the emails, obtained by Radio-Canada through federal access to information legislation, indicated that the DND officials were having trouble getting answers from the company in response to questions The concerns raised by the military add on to other concerns raised by environmentalists, First Nations leaders and dozens of mayors along the pipeline's proposed 4,500 kilometre route. Oh yes, and the NEB has been engaging in totally inappropriate private consultations about Energy East with business leaders (including Jean Cha rest) ... and then lied about it. When exposed, they had to come clean: not-only-charest-energy-east-panel-held-private-meetings-quebec-business-leaders The NEB, a federal court and law enforcement agency, is not supposed to engage in these types of discussions to avoid compromising the integrity and fairness of federal hearings. The bombshell revelations come from internal emails and notes released by the NEB this week that prompted it to apologize for making false and misleading statements in July about the meetings. Hmmm ... pipeline down the tube? . -
People need a certain level of income to function. Going below that just means more dysfunction. The 'free market' isn't functioning if it can't provide a living for people. People don't exist to serve the market: The market exists to serve the people. So ... the free market needs a minimum living wage to make it function properly for us. .

Face it taxme:Canada just doesn't work for you. Time for you to emigrate. BTW ... Where is your 'white nationalist' utopia? .

Hmmm ... all I see from your argument is a very good case for wage controls, a living wage, so wages can't be depressed beyond a set minimum. Problem solved. .

An alternative to Trump and Clinton?

You'll never win against the wealthy elites via "violent upheaval". They control the money, the governments, the military and the police. . -
Do you think he cares if she does get assassinated by some of his zealous dimwit gun nuts? Not.one.iota. His comment was as serious as anyone wants to take it. And he's blameless because 'it was just a joke'. Don't make the mistake of assuming anything Trump says is 'a mistake' 'off the cuff' 'just a joke'. That assumes he has a conscience and wouldn't do that 'for real'. But of course he would. He has no conscience. If a gun nut pops her off ... it's not going to stick to him. That's all that matters to him. .

Oh nice recoverup. Voting. Right.There might be some Trump people who think they're just gonna die or kill somebody if he can't win. It's not a joke. . .

There is seldom 'evidence' or witness to rape crimes, which is why it has been a great injustice historically, with perps throughout history accustomed to getting away with it. Nonetheless, sexual assault/rape is a very serious and violent crime. And in this case, there was also an additional piece of evidence, the perp's text acknowledging that he 'got carried away'. That's clearer than the usual he said/she said.

Accommodating male/female segregation for Muslims?

How have the Mennonites functioned in Canada since the 1700's? Sheesh! And whose business is it? People can live the way they choose. . -
DNA and lie detection hold great promise for simplifying justice. However, lie detection is not there yet as sociopaths are difficult to detect: To them the truth that they are comfortable with is whatever they choose it to be. Telling a truth that incriminated them would cause the detectable physical anxiety that lying does in normal people.Still there is promise, IF we can prevent the sociopath predator billionaires who currently run the world from controlling and manipulating that to their advantage. As long as deception, manipulation and exploitation run the world, truth in justice is a dream. .

He was convicted. Guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. .

They had previously had consensual sex so she thought she wanted to have sex with him ... until he berated her (abuse) and jammed his penis down her throat (sexual assault). Then he raped her. She did not consent to abuse, sexual assault or rape. .
