I love how you openly admit to your ignorance, then you just jump on Rue's counter-point as if it's gospel without checking into it, and oh, he's wrong again, as usual. Go fish.

1) My article was from Global News, are you honestly saying that's not a proper reference? 2) Some of those are senior care facilities, not subsidized housing. Some are artist venues which hold exhibits so they're not suited to rental by the general public. That's not what they're there for. Can you find an example of subsidized housing Rue, that's fro people of all ages but only for a specific race or religion Rue? You still haven't done that yet and you've had 7 days now..... Tick tock.....

What does Fox have to do with this topic? What does Fox have to do with Canadian politics?

Sure Nope. Jews live in Canada. It was a Canadian decision to have the reform schools. Individual churches didn't just take it upon themselves to do that. Not at all. I'm saying that the reasoning behind the res schools wasn't to give pedos a chance to f some kids up, or to kill them. That's just plain-ass common sense. If you think that people should be allowed to just give their kids a stone-age education in 2020 then why don't you start a website? No need to defend common sense ffs. It's actually the people who think that residential schools were formed explicitly for the purpose of harming children. Grab a clue. No, the reality of kids being given stone-age educations and facing a life without electricity, a common language, etc just didn't make sense to a lot of people Rue. Religion is divisive. Plain and simple. Just ask the muslims and the Jews. And yeah I can speak collectively for them both because it's well-known that they don't get along, on average. If you try to tell me some BS to the opposite effect I will laugh my ass off and believe me, I've got a trillion bullets for that one.

Yeah, the media is weird like that. So are the police. Been there. Done that. Bought the T-Shirt. Sometimes I shoot myself just so I can Rambo-up and stitch myself back together again. I'm gonna try a headshot next time. Just kidding.

The WalMart in Langley BC has had greeters off and on. Most often not. I've never had a receipt checked there. They're checking for receipts because of the deplorables. The Trump voters. Some say that you can smell them as soon as you walk in.

I would love for you to show me one place where I lied Rue. Or where I made a "factually correct but intentionally misleading" post. I'll be waiting over here, where the cricket sound is coming from. So? I'd agree that we're born that way, but with properly applied religious zeal you can eliminate the chances of someone being good, or a peacemaker, in the majority of humans. After 50+ years I have a pretty solid understanding of my propensity for committing unreasonable acts of violence. We all do. You know what I do lack Rue? The ability to smile and nod my head when people say extremely stupid things or lie through their teeth. It makes my skin crawl. I honestly feel like I'm being tortured if I watch Joy Behar, Morning Joe or Lawrence O'Donnel talk. But even in that moment when someone is regurgitating CNN drivel to my face, I never feel like I want to punch them. And truth be told, we both know that people are lying when they pretend to believe CNN drivel. People just want to believe it because they like the feeling of moral superiority that comes along with jumping on the bandwagon. Most people have a desperate need to "fit in" with the cool celebs and they live in abject fear of saying anything controversial. I passionately don't give a rip. I have no no need for a huge circle of fake friends. I wish people would really think hard when they're allowing a TV station to pump 'information' into their heads. I wish that they'd take stock of where a Newz Channel's credibility actually is before they get behind the shiny new story without questioning it. But that's not the world we live in. As a result, us Canadiots are stuck with Justin Trudeau.

Lol. I'm not afraid to look back on my "LLPDS-influenced" posts with the benefit of hindsight to see how well they stood the test of time. We both know that TDS victims can't say the same thing.

It's not odd at all. You're presenting the information in a manner that lends itself to harsh generalizations being made which would be incorrect. EG, you added the death count there without stating the fact that the main cause of death was TB and typhoid, and that Canadians who didn't live in residential schools were dying of the exact same things. This gives the impression that murder was rife there, or even on a genocidal scale. That's pathetic and underhanded. Inaccuracies of that magnitude are rarely, if ever, coincidental.

You have a life of jumping on bandwagons and checking your brain at the door. People tell stories, throw down some facts, and then riddle their testimony with their own version of "the dire intentions behind the actions that were taken" and you instantly give those dire intentions 100% credibility. Was that because the bad people in this instance were majority Christians, and not Jews? FYI Jews lived in Canada back then Rue. Some of the people who were part of that decision-making process were Jews Rue. Were they actual human beings with actual/altruistic concerns for children who seemed destined to be raised with stone-age educations in 1960, or should we guess at what dire ulterior motivations they had?

Blah, blah, blah. You can't swing a dead cat without hitting some moron who will regurgitate CNN vitriol like a Manchurian Candidate. The US Justice System is still rife with them and you fit into that category as well. And now you're talking about my ability to do critical thinking? LMAO, you can't even understand basic things after I explain them to you, forget about you ever figuring out anything on your own.

Can you see a place where you've truly been right twice in all of your posts combined eyeball? You've justified terrorism twice in your last few posts ffs. That makes you an actual, real-life terrorist supporter.

Get a life Rue. Have you ever spent a winter's night on the prairies in a home with just candlelight and wood heat? The sun is up for a bit more or less than 8 hours, depending on how far north you are, and aside from that you're in the dark, and it's miserably cold for 3 full months. And that's just the prairies. North of the prairies the daylight on Dec 21 is 7.5 hrs or less, and it goes down to basically zero. If someone wanted to raise children in Alberta in 2020 without electricity, central heating, without teaching them to read and write, without teaching them to speak english or french, without any education at all or access to computers do you think that would be a good idea Rue? Would you let your grandchild grow up like that if they were Metis? Of course you wouldn't. Not a hope in hell. It would be cruel. Not advancing their access to opportunities would be cruel. And don't forget that back in my parents' day and age, the government of Canada wasn't running all the schools and hospitals in remote/rural areas of Canada. The Catholic Church footed the bill for a lot of those places. I get that forcing religious change on those people was wrong, I'm not a fan of religion in general. At all. Especially the Abrahamic faiths - they're actually the worst of the worst. But even as a devout atheist I won't deny that overall Christianity has been a positive force in general. If the aboriginals were living on the Yucatan Peninsula or the Amazon Basin then the concept of residential schools would have come in well below 'necessary' and they wouldn't even be guaranteed to have an overall positive impact on the lives of the next generation. The indigenous people that you're talking about live west of Edmonton. North of Flin Flon. Or In the Yukon. Good riddance to life in igloos, and to life in the stone age. My mom grew up in a home where they didn't have electricity until she was 15. They had a coal stove, oil lamps, no fridge, no radio, the only music they could even listen to was live, but she could get some books to read in lamplight. Yay! They did a lot of canning, they had lots of chores before and after school, they didn't hate life but no one would choose that life over the life our kids have. The aboriginals of the residential school era basically grew up in wartime-like conditions. Theirs was a generation that was basically lost in a lot of ways. But they have opportunity now like they never would have had otherwise. If I had the answers that would help aboriginal people live a more fulfilling life I'd give them out. They get access to all the education they want for FREE, they get FREE housing, they can do all the hunting and fishing they want.... It's not a cruel life, but it does seem as though handouts don't work out very well in the long run. What can I say? I just don't know the answers.

Your post, as a reply to Argus's comment, is just a ridiculous side note, and it's also intentionally misleading. 1) the actual intention was to help kids escape a life of hunting & fishing, and living in stone age houses (indigenous ppl here never got around to making bronze or iron) and to give them access to the modern economy, housing etc. Perversion wasn't an intentional strategy. It was a failing of individual humans. 2) Kids died of TB all over the place during that time, not just in residential schools. Don't act like it was murder. You're intentionally hate and fear mongering with crap posts like this dialamah.

He has never denied that he killed that man. Is that because he wants the notoriety? Can't have sympathy for him being considered guilty if he won't deny it. And he is a terrorist. Yay! We finally agree on one thing. FWIW I also think it's a joke that the first person to testify, and rat out his accomplices, always gets the smallest sentence, even if they're the guiltiest. I call that "winning the rat race". I do it because he is a terrorist. He was raised to be a terrorist, the evidence that he was a terrorist is there in his bomb-making videos, and he has never publicly denounced that which made him a terrorist. Guilty is guilty, period. I'm no easier on any other criminals than I am on Khadr. You'll find the same thing about conservatives across the board.

Agreed, although there's some unnecessary graphic description there lol.

Hahaha, you apologized once this month? We both know that you're wrong way more than that eyeball.

He was a trained terrorist and even if he didn't commit murder he was still a terrorist and an accomplice to murder. If a 15 yr old Canadian goes to Iran to commit terrorist attacks I'll be sad for him but I'm not dumb enough to assume that they'll let him live, let alone give him $10M. Why would you say that he was brainwashed or oppressed? It's your religion... It's normal. Literally 90% of the people in Afghanistan and Pakistan have this done to them. The governments there still administer the death penalty for blasphemy there. If you're not brainwashed then why don't you turn your back on the religion that kills and oppresses so many people and foments so much hatred? If you don't believe they're haters then go check out AJ+ (Al Jazeera+) one day. That's the main news netwok from the muslim world. They didn't say a word about the genocide in Levant on AJ+, instead they'd dig up a 100 yr old story of some bcakwarsd fckus in Loozyana who killed a black girl for some trivial thing, as if it was an indictment of every living American on earth today. Or they'd talk about some Hindus who raped a muslim girl in India and they'd follow that story for months (they'd ignore all 25,000 rapes committed all across the rest of the earth in that period of time) and act as if it was indicative of the sentiments of every Hindu in India. Then they'd post about fluffy bunnies and a cute kid who saved some whales, then vent some anti-Israeli spew and continue to ignore islamic state's genocide. That's YOUR RELIGION sending that crap out. They're fomenting hatred like a volcano of invective. Go read their screed. The pattern is: pump out two fluff stories, foment hatred against _____, post another in-depth fluff story to get some liberal credibility, another post to incite more hatred, three more fluff stories, fear monger post, fluff story post, hate Trump post, more fluffy bunnies, rinse, repeat. f He should never have been there. He confessed. I count you among the people who lend credibility to the testimony of Lev Parnas who is also testifying with the carrot of reduced sentencing hanging above his head. So what's your plan? Should coerced testimony be allowed or not? And like you said, Khadr never said that he didn't do it. Guilty enough, when you consider that he made a bomb-making video for terrorists.

Do you honestly think that terrorists are a threat to terrorist supporters? Eyeball has nothing to fear from Khadr, and our PM doesn’t have need security to protect him from islamic state or al qaeda.

You can forgive Khadr for killing an American because you think that's ok anyways, but if a 15 yr-old Canadian was an unlawful combatant and killed a member of the Quds force would you still want them to get $10M after just spending 10 years in prison?

Until he's in custody he's just an unlawful combatant and as such the legal combatants on the field had every right to kill him. You can't expect soldiers to id people before they defend themselves. The Canadian government under Chretien and then Harper didn't mete out any injustice on him, they just didn't fight to get him released. And with him being a murderer and war criminal, why should we care? Khadr was born and raised to be a terrorist with bomb-making videos on the internet. Can you cite the "evidence that he didn't kill anyone"? You know that he pleaded guilty, right? More stupidity. No one is saying that Bisonette should be rehabilitated or released. I get that he was an adult but he was a non-muslim and no one is crying because he's in jail. It was completely unjustified. He was old enough to know right from wrong and he killed someone. If there's a requirement to rehabilitate him it should be done while he's behind bars. That's not shithole justice. Shithole justice is when a woman goes to jail for decades because she took off her own hijab, or when a 15 girl gets raped because she didn't have a hijab on and the police just laugh.

The FBI was considered to be the most respectable police force in the world up until 2 years ago, now they're a farce. The IG concluded that there was no bias in the FBI despite the fact that they made "17 significant errors and omissions" which all pointed in the same direction. That's farcical. I never even heard of the GAO until a week ago, I have no reason to believe that they're any more credible than the FBI, The Dems, CNN or the IG.

If the shoe fits wear it. You never admit when you're wrong, you just wait a couple days and say the exact same things that were proven false. You have the accountability of a ferret. You're wrong again, as always. A phobia is an 'irrational' fear. And what you're talking about isn't 'fear', it's just the truth. Eg, a person is afraid of daddy-long-legs spiders, and those spiders aren't harmful to humans at all. That's arachnophobia. Another person says "Funnel-Web spiders are venomous, and their venom, if left untreated, is a serious threat to life, especially in children." That's not arachnophobia, it's just a fact about funnel-web spiders. That's another lie. When people yell ___________ ____________ to their god and kill children in his name, they're the ones who get to decide why they killed and then died. Not you. There you go, justifying terrorism again, out of your sheer ignorance. Terrorist attack girls in Afghanistan for going to school and they attack other muslims all the time. People like you who justify the existence of Pakistan, despite the murders of over 13 million people since their foundation in the '40s, but justify terrorist attacks against Israel, created in similar fashion but with less than 1% of the deaths, are just bigots. You are a bigot. You just don't know it. The history of the ME was no better than it's post-1940s history. Explain to me why they needed to kill tens of millions of people in India when they were never attacked?

When people wear a military uniform with a flag on it and enter a warzone, thereby making it legal for their enemies to kill them, those brave people get the protection of the Geneva Conventions. People in a warzone without a uniform & flag are not legal targets, and they can't be killed by military personnel. But in the instances where those 'civilians' do engage military personnel they are considered unlawful combatants and they don't get the same protections of the Geneva Conventions. If Khadr was killed where he stood it wouldn't have been an issue. The fact that he was allowed to live is more than he deserved.

Khadr wasn't entitled to that money. The money was given to him based on the supposition that he was denied a quick and fair trial, but there's no precedent for giving people who were caught on the battlefield a trial. Canadian POWs didn't sue Germany for the lack of a trial, and by the same token German POWs didn't sue Canada either. A trial for a POW isn't really a thing. When Khadr was apprehended he didn't even have the right to the normal protections of the Geneva conventions because he was an unlawful combatant (he wasn't young enough to be considered a child soldier either). He was caught, he was detained, and as long as the conflict in Afghanistan was going on he should have stayed there.
