I believe that the majority of Canadians do not understand anything as to what is going on with their tax dollars and what politicians say and do behind their backs. They seem to appear oblivious as to what are real issues and what are not. The only time it seems that Canadians can get up about something is when the media makes an issue out of it. And in most cases they will listen too and believe what the media tells them. They don't investigate to see if what the media says is true or not. Otherwise they stay fast asleep as if all is normal, nothing going on out there. I have friends who do not even listen to the news. That is how bad things are.

Well their seems to be a number of Canadians who feel that regardless of whatever the topic they are asked about in regards about tax dollars being spent on something or about issues like refugees, they will say let the government look and worry about it. They appear to forget that they are the government and it is their tax dollars, that are being spent, and that it is not the governments money. Many people can't seem to grasp this.

Canada always likes to copy cat America. There is no Canadian really recognized for anything until the Americans do it first, than Canada has to follow. After all, Canada is suppose to have it's hero's too. But they only are mentioned and reported on after the Americans mention their hero's. Sometimes Canada can look so silly.

So why no autopsy? Is that not standard practice to do an autopsy regardless?
A good question indeed. It would appear as though some people could not wait to have his body cremated.

I don't know what you mean with this we the people meme you keep on about, maybe you mean what you want. If you check the polls, you will find that on average, Canadians are roughly divided, with supporters slightly ahead. Or do you think that pollsters twist peoples arms when they poll them?
Depends on the question being asked and how it is being poised to we the people. Most polls are not always to be relied on. Most pollsters will ask questions of people that the pollsters want to hear. Referendums work better. In many a poll, most people asked about a certain issue, never gave that issue any thought until it was asked of them. And most people when asked about a certain issue will most likely want to agree with what the pollster is asking them. They want to look good, and they get a few seconds of fame. Ask them also about what the cost may be to them and their money, and things may turn out different.

If you check the average of the polls, you'll find that the refugee plan is supported by roughly half or slightly higher of the population. I doubt TV stations make them do that. BTW, the opposition comes mostly from people who identify as conservative. Q'ellle surprise!
The difference between the Conservative minded and the Liberal minded person is that Conservatives will deal with reality and try and instill some common sense and logic into their programs and agendas where the Liberals seem to survive only on emotion. They always say they care but I know Liberals who give me the impression that they only think about themselves. I never hear them discuss anything but what is good for them. Just my observation.
Indeed, as a Conservative, I like to deal in reality,common sense and logic. Bringing in 25,000, maybe 50,000 thousand new refugees within the next year is not fiscally or socially responsible. It is crazy. We cannot afford it. We the people are thousands of dollars in debt trying to get by in life, and I don't believe that they want to see us giving money away to strangers when that money could stay in their wallets for their use only in their trying to pay the bills.
It all depends on how a question is posed. The media is good at that. They know how to ask questions that will work in their favor. If the media asks the people: do you think that Canada should be helping the poor refugees of the world? To want to appear human the person being asked the question will most likely say yes. And that is what the media will constantly try to do. Get their emotional side going. Are you going to say on TV or radio that you don't give a dam about refugees? But if the media also threw in there that by helping out all those refugees it is going to cost you hundreds of millions of your tax dollars every year, I think their answer might not be what the media would want to hear. Polls are questionable.

I don't think anyone is saying this item was more or less important than any other. It was however a significant item on the agenda, there are various polls that indicate it was/is important to Canadians in general, not the selected special interest groups you seem to think are alone in this, and then there was the most important poll of all. You know, the election?
Look, besides the election supposedly being all about refugees, it was more about the media party and the Liberal elite that wanted to get rid of the Conservative government. They just didn't like them. They had to go and the people were convinced and went along with them believing that PM Harper was bad for Canada. The Conservatives were not always angels but the Liberals for sure will not be either, and your tax dollars are going to lose out big time with the Liberals back in power. 200 hundred million tax dollars over the next year to be spent on a bunch of strangers who do not deserve it. As far as I am concerned this is criminal. To be taking millions out of the taxpayer's pockets and giving it away to satisfy their own ego's and programs and agendas is theft. Ask we the people and see what they think about it. Refugees was not an issue.
-
Once again you seem to fail to understand that refugees was an election issue, and so government does indeed have a right and a mandate for what they said they would do during their campaign.
Once again you seem to fail and you need to understand that it was not we the people who were out there demanding that refugees by brought into Canada by the thousands. It was special interest groups, churches and immigration groups, and the media party(CTV/CBC/Global)who pushed for this. A small minority pushed for this, a tiny minority who, as with everything else that goes on in Canada always get to rule the roost, and it is the majority who get to pay for it. I have no problem with refugees coming to Canada, but it is the numbers that keep coming in that I have a problem with.
We never have enough money for our own people who could use extra help from the government who always tell us that there is no more money in the till. But when it comes to refugees, money magically appears, and there is millions for them. There is definite something wrong with this picture.
-
We need something that really brings home just how badly the foreign policies our side keeps pursuing in the ME region have worked out. Millions of refugees on our TV's still doesn't seem to be doing the job so perhaps when they're on our streets it'll start sinking in.
Don't forget the path to enlightenment is often a painful one. It doesn't have to be but for the moment it seems to be the one we're on.
I agree that getting involved in American wars is not the way for Canada to go. You need to talk to the American corporate warmongers who are always trying to get a war going somewhere. Instead of trying to deal and talk with other leaders of other countries, they prefer to go in and dictate to them and tell them as to how things will be done from now on. And if they do not want to cooperate than they get bombed. That is not fiction, it's fact.
-
A little reality for ya: the LPC laid out their plan about various issues including refugees, then they asked "we the people" what they thought. It was called an election and Canada said yes.
So, what you are saying here is that the plight of refugees was more important to Canadians than any other obvious and more important issues concerning Canada like jobs and poverty and trying to save our social and medicare programs, uhmm? Refugees is what it is all about.
A little reality for ya: It was a minority of different immigration groups,churches and special interest groups that wanted all this refugee immigration to happen. And it was the corporate controlled media that constantly pushed and wanted to keep it going and trying to make it appear as though all Canadians wanted this massive refugee immigration to happen. Funny, I never heard one person that I know of or have come into contact with that said that refugees were more important to them than anything else in Canada. It was the media party that wanted it. And when the media party goes silly on something, your antenna should go up. In most cases they are up to trying to sell us something that will not be of any benefit to Canadians.

Before belonging to Canada or Canadian society or white race or any race we belong to human race. Even if we are not responsible for the miseries abroad we still have a duty to help if we can help. That said if you feel that you only belong to Canadian society that is your right but still no excuse not to help out with those charities who help the poor and needy and runaway children and shelter abuse women in Canada. And there are plenty if you need a list PM me or simply Google search.
I don't have a problem with people helping people but do it with their own money, not mine. The government has no right or mandate to go throwing the taxpayer's hard-earned tax dollars to total strangers without the taxpayer's consent. The taxpayer's have no obligation to help strangers thousands of miles away. That is the dream of others who do not respect the taxpayer's tax dollars, and who feel that my money is also their money to blow. Again, the government should be asking we the people first, not some individuals or groups who want to spend other people's money as if it were their own. There are many Canadians struggling to feed and house and clothe their families, and should not be forced to feed the rest of the world. The bullet must be bitten, and this handing out money willy-nilly needs to stop. Our politicians need to be told once and for all that our tax dollars is not there's to spend foolishly. We need more common sense and logic from our politicians, not constant emotionalism. Enough already.

Now I heard that he is going to attend.
Now I find out that Obama did not appear. Conspiracy is back.

We've had this debate before. The LCBO has a monopoly on selling liqour in Ontario so they can charge whatever the Hell they want. They even have minimum prices just to make sure no one can get an exceptionally good deal on boo's.
But if that's the case and they have a captive market and they're one of the largest purchasers of alcohol in the world. At least maybe you could get a bulk discount or something.
If you're going to rip people off to maximize profits, at least do it properly you idiots. It's a wonder why people hate government organizations.
All they need to do is go to a COSTCO to see how this stuff works.
Well, if you think Ontario is bad, try BC. No matter how hard they try to ease the archaic restrictions on the selling of booze outside government stores they still cannot get it right. Some big grocery outlets like Safeway and Superstore are allowed to now sell beer and wine in their stores. The problem is that in order to keep the kiddies from walking past a bottle of beer or wine on a shelf the government has decided that to sell booze in a store there must be a store within a store where kiddies cannot enter who maybe would want to buy a case of beer. Ha-ha. Can't have the kids influenced by seeing booze. So, how does a guy with two kids with him in a grocery store suppose to buy a bottle of wine if the kids are not allowed inside that booze store? Does he leave them alone outside the store within a store, and hopes that they are still there when he comes out? Or does he just screw it? The government thinks that this is just dandy but giving no thought to the fact that at home these kids will end up seeing their parents drink booze in front of them anyway. Politicians and how they think really baffles me.
What is refreshing to see is that anytime I go down to Washington State, I see booze sold everywhere, even in gas stations, and it's all at half the price of what it is in Canada. And kids walk past all this booze all the time. And I am pretty sure that them seeing the booze in front of them is not going to make them want to take up drinking as soon as possible. Exposing them to booze is better than trying to hide it from them.

Oh, he's made mistakes? He's not perfect??? Here are some more examples of Ezra Levant not being perfect.
And he was successfully sued for $80,000 for defamation. Here is what the judge had to say:
So, you and his other fans can go ahead and tell yourselves that he's being picked on for being politically incorrect. The evidence says otherwise.
C'mon, give the man a break. He still has done a lot of good for people who have been wronged by our politically correct state. And he has taken on the Human Rights(Wrongs)Commission for their attacks on freedom of speech, and he has won. He has done a lot of good things for we the people in keeping us informed of what some of our politicians are doing behind our backs, especially attacks on Christianity, and freedom of speech. Never mind always trying to find fault with the man, try and find some of the good things he has done. Works for me.

Looks to me like a case of Viagra overdose resulting in a case of accidental death due to erotic asphyxiation or breath control play - but I could be wrong.
It's a thought.

It's not the first time in history.
Many sitting presidents did not attend the funerals of Supreme Court judges.
Now I heard that he is going to attend.

Do you just make up history as you go along?
Well I have to admit that I am not an expert on history. But if the elite can do it, and get away with it, why can't I?

That is exactly the "Argus" type of thinking. Yeah blame the victims and not the aggressors or the guilty.
It is not like there is a democracy in those regions and the people have a say to change things for better (because if they try they will be tortured, hanged, raped, jailed, executed). That said even with military or religious dictatorship still those nations would be better off even if a small percentage of the wealth goes to the people and most stolen by the governments. The fact is that 1% of the damn population have taken over 50% of the wealth close to their chest that we have so many poor people. There are so many charities most of which go directly to needy people. It is for the price of a coffee a day . THERE IS NO EXCUSE NOT TO CONTRIBUTE to those charities (like world vision or Christian children's Fund). Using the excuse that it is their own fault (or governments that they have no say in electing) is NO EXCUSE and it will not release you from your human obligation or guilt or if you are religious sins and will not clear your guilty conscious. How can you ultra right guys sleep at night???
World vision and others like it are a joke. The head honchos of some of those so-called charities leave most CEO's of many corporations in awe.
First of all I am not my worlds brothers keeper. My duties are with Canada, and what goes on in Canada. What happens in the rest of the world is not my problem. I didn't create the mess that some countries find themselves in, and therefore I should not be held responsible for any mess, and not be relieved of some of my taxes to be given away to strangers. Money thrown away to other countries should instead be staying here and helping our needy instead. Of course Liberalism has worked very hard to try and make most of we the people feel guilty for what goes on in other countries. They like to blame the white man for all the worlds troubles. Foreign-aid is just a waste of good money. It helps keep dictators in power. Enough already.

The reason people go poor and hungry is because of their own incompetent, corrupt and uncaring governments, not because of the likes of Donald Trump. Africa is a pit because of its own political culture, not westerners who own big homes.
Bravo. I could not have said it better.

Donald is full of opinions but miserably short on details. Makes all kinds of statements that appeal to emotions but gives no details about how he would actually carry them out and pay for them. This from a self proclaimed genius business man who wouldn't let you in his door if you didn't have a detailed business plan to show him.
Everyone that runs for political office does the same thing. They all make statements that appeal to emotions but give no details about how they would actually carry them out and at what cost. They are never up front on anything. They mostly just lie to get elected. Nothing new here.
But Donald has said that if he becomes President he will build a wall along Mexico to stop the flow of illegal aliens. And I believe that he will. And he has said that he will make the Mexican government pay for it. At least Trump has taken on the immigration question that has been on the minds of many Americans for decades. The rest are too afraid to touch the immigration subject. And our politicians here in Canada are no better. They run.

I have no doubt that if most Canadians shared your views then indeed we would have a federal politician like Donald Trump. Fortunately, we do not and we do not.
Maybe most Canadians do share my views but the media works very hard to silence any criticism of multiculturalism or immigration or foreign-aid. I wonder what the results would be if we truly had a discussion or vote on those three mentioned above. I am pretty sure that those three will end up biting the dust.
In most cases, as with Canada, a minority seems to always rule over the majority. A few special interest groups and churches and immigration lobbies really do get to decide as to what our immigration policy will be. If we the taxpayer's were told of the true costs of what multiculturalism, immigration, and foreign-aid has cost us for decades, I am pretty sure that there would be hell to pay. Our politicians and the media work very hard to not let that cat out of the bag.

It’s a giant screw up, rushed with little thought about the consequences. Support services are inadequate, insufficient resources, 16 month wait for federally funded language and of course no jobs. This is just the beginning, wait until they’ve brought in 50K refugees.
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/syrian-refugees-feel-trapped-1.3453830
Politicians don't care, it's not their money they are wasting. Instead of asking we the people as to what should be done, they prefer to say screw the people, this is how things will be done. They always seem to feel that they know what is best for us.
-
I hope they bring in 500,000 myself...
...for starters.
If the Liberals get their way, they will probably want to bring in 5 million. All votes that they will be relying on once those criminal refugees start to vote. Besides we already take in approx. 300,000 to 400,000 thousand new legal and illegal immigrants every year. So cheer up, your wish has already come close to being true.

Obama killed Scalia!!
LOL
Well, it is strange as to why Obama is not going to attend the funeral. The first time in history. Maybe Obama did have something to do with his death?
I wish we had a politican like Donald Trump.

What are you talking about? I have seen many times TV media reporters asking people on the streets questions on certain issues.
