CITIZEN_2015

This is patently false. Under Saddan Hussein Iraq was stable. Whenever there was a rebellion (like shia one in 1991 or Kurdish ones over many years) he sent an army to repress and destroy rebellion but never a constant daily civil war with bombs exploding almost every day and potentially everywhere with minorities captured by a group and sex slaved. The Iran-Iraq was (which was for oil territory of Iranian province and more like historic Arab-Persian animosity than a religious war between shia and Sunnis) ENDED in 1988 long before the 2003 US invasion. Again any suggestions on how Canada can practically help these victims (or future sex slaves) to be located and brought to Canada? If they are in refugee camps around Iraq and Syria then I don't see why not same way that the 25000 capable Syrian adults were brought in.

Thank you for your helpful comment . From what I have read (and I could be wrong) there are many thousands who have fled and now are displaced living in camps but if terrorists capture more territories then they would fall victims to sex slavery too. May be at this time we can at least help to relocate those who are outside ISIS captivity and can leave through usual means. I am not an expert of refugee relocation or settlement but same procedure that all those adult Syrian refugees were relocated and settled in Canada can apply to these displaced people but only the girls given priority since they are the most in danger.

Iraq was under a STABLE dictatorship and all these minorities (Yazidi girls now being sex slaves included) were relatively safe (as long as they didn't oppose the dictator). There was no civil war between Shia and Sunnis and many hundreds or thousands were not being killed in car bombs and explosions every month. People were living under dictatorship but relatively safe and their lives were secure as long as they didn't oppose the dictator. IT WAS THE US INVASION in 2003 that brought up all these instabilities and tragedies and tens of thousands likely hundreds of thousands have been killed since. Removal and later execution of the dictator was pleasant but a good majority of Iraqis (including the poor yazidi girls) are paying a high price for the destruction of invisible weapons of mass destruction. .

Yezidi girls are being treated as sex slaves according to attached links. The links claim that they are being kidnapped, raped even burned alive if refuse to have sex. If true then Canada must help these vulnerable displayed defenseless women and children to come and settle in Canada or be sponsored by good-hearted Canadians who are plenty in our great land of ours. http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/8015/isis-rape-yazidi http://www.foxnews.com/world/2016/06/06/19-yazidi-girls-burned-alive-for-refusing-to-have-sex-with-their-isis-captors.html http://www.christiantimes.com/article/yazidi-girls-who-fear-rape-from-isis-dirty-their-faces-to-look-less-beautiful-says-escaped-teenage-boy/56968.htm Trudeau ignores Conservatives’ plea to bring Yezidi refugees to Canada http://en.cijnews.com/?p=29093 During Question Period on Tuesday, March 8, 2016, Interim Leader of the Conservative Party Rona Ambrose asked Justin Trudeau if the Liberals would prioritize helping Yezidi girls in Iraq – who are being targeted by ISIS for rape, torture, and murder. Ambrose said: “Mr. Speaker, on this International Women’s Day, my thoughts are with the Yezidi girls in Iraq who are being captured, tortured, raped and forced to be sex slaves by ISIS. Those who can actually flee for their lives are now languishing in IDP (internally displaced person’s) camps. But, Mr. Speaker, we can help them. We can bring them to Canada with private sponsors who are willing to help. Would the Prime Minister commit to help today to placing these Yezidi girls in the joint sponsorship program so they can come to Canada and find safe haven?” To which Trudeau responded: “In the last election, Mr. Speaker, the Liberal party committed to bringing 25,000 refugees from Syria, and that’s exactly what we did. As we look to how we can continue to demonstrate that Canada is an open and welcoming country, we are of course open to all sorts of different suggestions and ways we can continue to demonstrate that Canada is a place that will accept people not just because they are fleeing tremendous hardship because they will contribute to the economic growth and success of this country in the years to come, and I look forward to doing more of that in the months and years ahead”. Following Trudeau’s vague answer which did not address Abmrose’s question, Ambrose posted the following comment on her Facebook page: “On International Women’s Day, of all days, I hoped he would have simply answered yes.”

This is a very sad event committed by a very evil person. It also indicates that we need new tougher laws to protect minorities specially those of different sexual orientation from asshole evil bigots like this son of the bitch who murdered 50 people out of his stupid ideology. We need to bring new laws against those losers who feel that homosexuals are easy targets and throw names at them or try to physically or psychologically harm them in order to cover up their own weakness (bad looks, jobless, poor, mental or physical illness, disability, old age, low class). An immediate firing from their jobs or sentencing these losers to long prison terms and at the same time educate people that action like this is indicative of being a loser and a hater. Alos need o be more careful as who we are allowing into western world. Even second generation idiots like him (born and raised in US) still had the sub-human mentality!!!!.

Are you Argus seriously debating that Persians/Azeris/Kurdish are Arabs now???!!!!!!!. Have we really reached that stage now to reason the unreasonable with unrelated examples? Civil war can happen everywhere and it is different between the war between two nations.

!!!.

Educate yourself before coming here and making all kind of false comments and accusations. Iran is NOT an Arab country. It is culturally and racially and historically very different.

Iran nation is mature enough (unlike many neighboring Arab countries) to do it through ballet boxes rather than violence.

So Argus says that 53.8% of Canadians pay no taxes!!!! So much for your credibility!!!

A democratic Iran will be a major power not only in mid east but the world. http://nationalinterest.org/feature/irans-unstoppable-march-toward-dominance-16182

The political show staged by opposition in particular Mulcair did not work as latest Nanos poll indicates an all time high popularly for Justin Trudeau and all time low for the leader of the show for his aggressive behavior against Trudeau in Parliament last week as the intelligence of Canadians on seeing the truth and exaggerated actions and overreaction by opposition was clearly tested.

The opposition trying to score as much point by making a mountain out of nothing as they can out of a clear case of accident and this is shameful. In particular Brosseau which pretended to have been hit hard by yelling ouch so loudly and her physical exaggerated reaction and Mulcair behaved very badly the way he reacted. It is all politics and politicians as usual behaving like children.

Oh Sweden is not a model in which feminazis have taken over and men have little rights. Harper did his part to catch up to Sweden by copying the Swedish model of prostitution laws and impose it on Canadians through deception and manipulations and cheat where buyers of sex (mainly men) will be punished to jail sentences while sellers (mainly women) will be rewarded and immune from prosecution. These idiotic discriminatory laws proven a total failure in Sweden were imposed in spite of the facts that they would endanger the lives of sex workers (another vulnerable group of citizens) and most if not all of sex workers oppose to them as they call it Pickton's law and were never consulted. Liberals promised to repeal these imported laws and they are held to their promise to repeal the imposed C-36.

Only the extreme right wing fascists make statement like this that some vulnerable people who are being treated badly and harassed and discriminated when given rights and equality are accused of demanding for special requests or privileges!!!!!!!!! Giggles and whispers only may be regarded as normal behavior by losers and fascists who enjoy hurting people and if purposely directed towards people who may be in some way different than the majority is harassment and can lead to serious issues like hurt feelings, isolation, suicides, shootings mass murder is not to be taken lightly and yes should be punishable. In every society Some losers who wish to hide their own faults and are unsure of their own looks or status or else would resort to harassment so that they feel good about themselves and it was racial minorities like blacks and Jews being picked on and we brought in written laws to punish those who break the laws an educated people about the harm it would cause and now it is time to extend this to other vulnerable people like those with different sexual orientation and transgenders.

Harassment hurts real bad and we have had recent cases of suicides and attempted suicide right here in Canada so bad that recently a compaign has started to educated people. Yes I want it to be punished when it is directed towards human beings who may be different in any way as it will lead to harm and may lead to suicide.It is like driving someone to suicide.

Yes I believe new laws would assist more integration of transgender people in the society and in long term would also assist to educate our youth and kids that giggles and whispers hurts and will not be tolerated in an advance society and those losers who may ignore it will be punished according to the laws of the land which will be in law books. All minorities have gone through these stages for decades but having established clear laws against discrimination have helped in past with education of the public and will continue to do so for transgender people too.

This is one step further to protect these citizens from violence, bullying and discrimination written as a law of the country and hopefully will go further to severely punish those who may ignore the law and commit any of above would be crimes. Discrimination and violence against homosexuals and trans gender people is still going on in 2016 in many parts of the world including Canada (though to a lesser extend in Canada) and we need crystal clear laws to protect them and give all possible tool to law enforcement to charge and judiciary to prosecute those who commit any of above would be crimes..Be proud that you are a citizen of a country who leads the world when it comes to human rights and equality for the most vulnerable as I always am myself.

The most progressive Prime Minister of the most progressive country in the world has put forward the most progressive bill to extend human rights to the most vulnerable citizens, namely the transgender Canadians. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has put forward a bill to extend human rights protections to transgender Canadians. Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould said Tuesday the law is necessary to make it unequivocal that transgender persons have the right to live free from discrimination, hate propaganda and hate crimes. The proposal comes amid a U.S. debate about transgender bathroom policies that limit restroom use to people based on their birth sex. Asked what her message to America is, Wilson-Raybould said: "This is a message to all Canadians that we live in a time where discrimination in any form is completely unacceptable." The Canadian legislation would, if passed, make it illegal to prevent someone from getting a job or to discriminate in the workplace on the basis of gender identity or gender expression. It also expands hate speech laws to include gender identity and gender expression. Similar legislation has previously failed to pass Parliament several times, including last year. But when Trudeau was elected late last year and he appointed Wilson-Raybould, he made it a part of her mandate to introduce the legislation. "Everyone deserves to live free of stigma & persecution, no matter who they are or whom they love," Trudeau tweeted. His government has the majority of seats in the House of Commons so it will likely pass there. After that it will go to the unelected Senate. Charlie Lowthian-Rickert, a 12 year-old transgender female, thanked the Liberal government and said she feels "much safer." "It will protect us from hateful propaganda, assault," Lowthian-Rickert said. The justice minister fought back tears as she spoke. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-3595073/Canada-introduces-bill-protect-transgender-Canadians.html Congratulations to Canada and all Canadians for this significant potential change to our laws to protect the most vulnerable citizens of our country from violence and discrimination and yes thank you Mr. Trudeau for this brave move and his progressive humane government (as opposed to formed cold blooded heartless deposed Harper regime) which btw based on the latest poll NOW ENJOYS 52% support among the eligible voters so that if election were held today it would form a supermajority government. http://ottawacitizen.com/news/politics/if-canadians-went-to-the-polls-today-the-liberals-would-get-a-supermajority-says-poll

More women elected for the parliament than cleric (17 versus 16) as signs of Iran's evolving politics and society.

Israel may be a rogue state but it is not a rogue nation. They are many good people in Israel and they have contributed positively to the world in science and medicine. I do believe a small portion of criticism of Israel may be anti-semitism but in most part it is not, It is being critical of a rogue state who commits crimes against weaker neighbors especially against weak defenseless population. It is purposely misrepresented as anti-semitism by some Zionists in order to silent the critics of the state of Israel in an abusive manner. Israel is surrounded by very fierce enemies with intend to destroy it and they have the right to defend themselves but not at any cost that I agree. They have been too vicious and aggressive against their neighbors especially against the defenseless civilian population. Canada should stay neutral in the Arab Israeli conflict. They are both at fault for dragging this conflict for decades now by their hateful inhuman actions against each other. I believe the new Trudeau government would very likely stay neutral in contrast to the one-sided totally biased deposed regime of Harper

What is funny is to the extend you go to distort the facts to your advantage n such a deceptive manner. No wonder you are a strong supporter of Harper and his deposed regime. First off I am not far left in fact my political views on immigration and capital punishment, crime and punishment and finances is closer to far right than left. Second my leader was elected by the nation given a big majority in a free and democratic election and your favorite was deposed in the same election because of the deceptive manipulative corrupt government he provided.

You want to know those crooks and charlatans around Harper then listen to today's news on Mike Duffy trial and his acquittal as how the corrupt Harper and his PMO in a monstrous conspiracy used him like playing a game of chess and manipulated the situation to hide the facts.

Rewriting the history!!!! As Reagan said a good Russian historian is the one who can predict the past accurately. On 19 August, a pro-Shah mob paid by the CIA marched on Mosaddegh's residence. According to the CIA's declassified documents and records, some of the most feared mobsters inTehran were hired by the CIA to stage pro-Shah riots on 19 August. Other CIA-paid men were brought into Tehran in buses and trucks, and took over the streets of the city. Between 300 and 800 people were killed because of the conflict. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Iranian_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat

What on earth is this. 1 - When did I say that Iran is not in middle east!!! You make up things to cover your weakness and discredit me for things I have never said. 2 - Iran has not engaged in horrors more than Israel has.
