I wouldn't recommend building a cabin on private or crown land, regardless of squatting rights, because they usually only apply after a long period of time. If you are caught before the time, you can be held liable for all damages and face trespassing charges. The time varies by province, but is generally a large number of years (10-20). Usually you need to do something significant (e.g. build a cabin), and possess it continually for a period of time. Note that you do not automatically get an entire plot, if you build a cabin then all you can expect is the land the cabin is on and maybe a bit around it and possibly a right of way to it. If you fence in some land, and farm it then you might have claim to a larger tract of land. If you regularly cut firewood, then you might gain part of the forest that you have been cutting in, etc.

America under President Trump
?Impact replied to betsy's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Really? Do you have any evidence to support that? According to the Canadian Council for Refugees: The CCR is deeply disappointed at the low level (7,500) for Government-Assisted Refugees (GARs). The 2017 level is below the annual average of GAR arrivals of 7,600 from 2000 to 2015. It is particularly distressing that Canada would not increase its commitment at a time when the global need for resettlement places for refugees is greater than ever (UNHCR projects needs for 1,190,000 refugees to be resettled in 2017) -
The evidence you offered on page 22 was like the evidence the end of the world fools offered in the late 1800's that the world would end in the early 1900's. We also has such similar fools in the 1980's and 90's, but it is already 2018 and the world has not ended. No what you call evidence is bullcrap.

Full assurances were provided by intelligence officials and agencies that the meeting could proceed, are you saying that political vetting is more important than security vetting? Yes, we all know that Harper loved to creep little girls Facebook pages.

Yet there are similarities between stories told through oral tradition like Huveane. Sometimes he is referred to as the first man, and other times as the creator. About the time that man learned about the birds and the bees, he got upset with all the noise from the copulating and decided to ascend into heaven (built a large ladder, and removed the rungs after he climbed it) - Genesis. The story of the hippopotamus Tawaret has a lot of similarities with the early life of Moses. The people of Mpumalanga have a story about a rain queen with some similarities to the story of Noah. The queen of Sheba story (1 Kings 10) is told by the people of Ethiopia as the Kerba Nagast. Of course these stories carried by oral tradition have changed (telephone tag) from how they are told in the Bible but they are unmistakable the same stories. Are you talking about Beitin (Baytin), because others believe that may actually be Zemaraim or Ophrah. That is based on old Roman mile markers (their mile was shorter than today's mile). Again however evidence of a man made settlement is not evidence of God. And Jordan was the border of it on the east side. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the coasts thereof round about, according to their families.Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, and Bethhoglah, and the valley of Keziz,And Betharabah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel, And Avim, and Pharah, and Ophrah,And Chepharhaammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; twelve cities with their villages: ... - Joshua 18:20-23 Yes, absolutely there is evidence. There is also evidence of the "walls come a tumbling down", most likely by an earthquake. The big problem is dating, with a 150-200 year discrepancy between the archeological and biblical account.

Nobody is saying that all figures in the Bible are completely fictional, they are often based on the telling and retelling and embellishment of bedtime stories for children with some historical places/events/people. The point is the embellishment moves them from history to fairy tale. We see the same thing in modern time, where accounts are embellished to promote some cause; that happens continually. The big difference is today we have many people recording the events, and technology that enables that. Whenever creationists claim archeology evidence, it is never for the stories of the bible just places/people and maybe a very loose association with an event. There has been plenty of time and incentive for the creationists to show real evidence, but they have failed to deliver.

It is called lithography (there are other methods but they are not in volume production). There used to be a lot of companies doing it, but now we are down to basically 3 (Intel, Samsung, and IBM). While I have been involved in other parts of the computer field, I have worked closely with those involved in microprocessor design and have had some exposure to the manufacturing side. One company I worked for in the 80's built 90% of the photo lithography in use at the time, they are now long out of business. While you might be familiar with companies other than the 3 I listed above, if you delve under the hood you will see that they license other technology for manufacturing (e.g. AMD uses GlobalFoundaries which is based on the Samsung process). The reason for this is investment in new generations of this technology is extremely expensive. In the 90's it was about a billion dollars, and today a new generation is well over $10 billion investment. Likewise the story of Harry Potter defeating Voldemort is evidence of the power of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Yes, there are a lot of people of faith in the sciences. There is also a great diversity of views among them around things like literal interpretation of the Bible. Close: The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination. I would interpret that established facts or theories are not as important as thinking outside the box. We progress through new ideas, not rote learning. I wouldn't say that speaks too well of the bible thumpers.

The Trump Tax Cut/Reform of 2017
?Impact replied to August1991's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Agreed, although as you point out it is not just CPP vs. Social security. There is a much larger picture that needs to be looked at, but seniors in Canada are not living in the lap of luxury when it comes to government benefits. -
The Trump Tax Cut/Reform of 2017

It is not a bad interpretation of what Romney said, but if you want verbatim then it was: There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. That that's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what ....These are people who pay no income tax. Equating 'the president' or 'this president' meaning Obama with Democrat is not a big stretch. -
25 years is a long time in the microprocessor field. At the time microprocessors contained a few million transistors, now they contain a few billion or 1000 times more. That is the real Moore's Law still at work, something that is often poorly described in general literature. As for seeing with the bare eye, that is what we call feature size. In the mid 90's it was about 150-200nm (less than 1/1000 the width of a human hair), and today they are less than 1/10 that size (note that microprocessors are 3 dimensional structures so 1/10 feature size allows you to pack a few hundred to 1000 features in the same volume, I won't bore you with why the range). Yes, the Church has a long history of telling us that.

Yes it is complex and incredible. A master designer however would be even more complex and incredible. Dr. Dino likes to say if it is too complex for us to understand then God, but when asked about God he says too complex for us to understand. His failure to admit the ill logic that dilemma poses is just one part of what makes him a scam artist.
-
For more than 2 decades, the majority of microprocessor design and layout has been highly computerized, and beyond handling the raw chemicals a modern microprocessor has never been touched by human hands.
-
No, I watched scam artist Dr. Dino in its entirety. I am open minded, I watched and saw that he offered not one piece of evidence for creation.
-
Thanks for being honest. You don't care what science has to offer, you have your faith and simply want to proselytize it. We shall label you as closed minded.
-
Then watch the 3 youtube video's of Jack Szostak, it is about the same length as that propaganda piece you were promoting above.
-
If I point out that the modern computer/cell phone/video game is nothing but a bunch of simple gates do I devalue its complexity, and the even greater complexity of software that runs on it?
-
So I guess when you demanded I listen to your crackpot scam artist, you were not genuine.
-
Ergo God, yet again you use that ill logic. We know that the molecules that form life are compounds of some very basic elements (oxygen, hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, sulphur and phosphorus). After you educate yourself by reading the works of Douglas Theobald that I linked above, you should move onto the works of Jack Szostak.
-
Yet you and Dr. Dino have failed to produce any.

Sergey Brin was a Russian immigrant. -
You own fake Dr. Horvind said weather the creator is God, Allah, or Jehovah is a different question. So why should the Bible be valid?

Q: How long does it take Donald Trump to screw in a light bulb? A: We don't know, because anything he screws he pays $130,000 to keep quiet. -
Yes, the common Creationist default. In light of no answer - ergo God. Sorry, but believing in magic is something most of us left behind in our childhood.
