Lol. I’m pretty sure that would be tax evasion or it would basically amount to legalized prostitution, and pave the way for writing off all kinds of sex paraphernalia.
“If Trump can write off a playboy bunny I can write off a blow-up doll and my subscription to Biguns.”
Then again, Hillary just made it legal to destroy evidence that the FBI subpoenaed. I guess anything can happen now.
Beyond the understanding of MSM advocates, Republican and Democrats are all the same. The national debt keeps going regardless who is in power even Trump. The machine cannot be stopped and they do not want anyone from the outside looking in.
This is NOT about Trump and if he lied, had sex with 3 women at the same time, or cheated on his taxes. This is about protecting the ESTABLISHMENT and most people are just easily manipulated so they actually think this is about justice and Trump. This is about taking the government back into the hand of those in Washington.

In elementary school, feminist student BC2004 is helping teacher to grab the ears of a couple of male rabbits and pin the poor things on the dissect tables.
BC2004: Look! This is the proof that females always overpower males in the world.
Teacher: My dear, you win because you are human which size 30-50 times bigger than any rabbit, not because they have balls and you haven't....
Well Mr. Xul, I think the base forces which all of the power hungry, regardless of political stripes are attempting to invoke, remind me of Dr. Frankenstein’s monster. Or maybe some creation from the Island of Dr. Moreau. Our national pollical system is being run by mad scientists. Even Bernie Sanders, who was seen in the 2016 run as an independent voice, has given up his “revolution”. If you’ve seen his recent interviews, they are sad. The guy sounds completely defeated. I don’t know if Nancy Pelosi put on her belly dancing outfit and svengalied the poor guy, or what. It’s like somebody got to Bernie and turned him into another brick of establishment DC.

And that link is over a year old.
Yes our standards of living are all dropping and distracting the herd from this fact is a necessity in order to compel us all to keep working harder and harder to maintain what lifestyles we can continue to have. Once all hope is lost, the real problems start. They will milk it all as long as possible and then stand back and what the shit hit the fan.

That's true of most rural areas, not just the prairies. Our town has 140,000 people but a large part of it is rural. Our police call the most western rural area the wild west. Not because it is but because they just don't have the bodies to patrol it and can only respond to calls.
Here's the latest on this case. 4 suspects have been charged.

Rural property crime is a major problem on the prairies. This looks to be the case in this situation in which an RCMP officer was shot while responding to a call in rural Manitoba. Luckily the shot was not fatal and the officer will survive. It seems like this is a small resort style town on the edge of a national park. Not many details on the suspects have been released. I feel for people in rural areas who are vulnerable and often don't have quick responses from police due to vast areas police are responsible for. Urban elites maybe don't realize that police response is not instant on the prairies.

Because we want to do free trade? That help lift mexico out of poverty? Sending american business there as well? Your argument is skewed.
The idea that economy is based on a system of objective “scientific” laws, completely independent of human morality and spirituality, failed to pass the history tests.

Of course I do, every single one volunteered.
Well sure, they're the handful who've benefited from the ability to influence the minister. Take billionaire fisherman Jimmy Pattison for example, after the dust settled on the collapse and restructuring of what was left of BC's salmon fishery Jimmy controlled some 40% of the quota. The fishermen in the photo-op probably work for Jimmy and were just following orders. Thousands of others just fell off the world as far as Canadians know. You soldiers act as if you're the only working stiffs who get hosed by Ottawa.
As I pointed out earlier in the thread the template for influence peddling one sees in the military-industrial complex is used throughout many many sectors of the socio-economic stew we're in.
I stand by my point, the greatest threat to our security are powerful corrupt politicians and the wealthy even more powerful bastards they serve. That's what Eisenhower was essentially warning us about.
Trump’s trade war is a serious threat to the dollar reserve currency regime. The system was designed to run on permanent deficits.

Fighting back against an oppressive regime who muders and tortures and jails and rapes and beats its own citizens for survival of its evil exitence is NOT terrorism or rebellion. Maybe the dictatorship in power calls them such names but everyone in the world knows well they are freedom fighters and nationalists risking their lives in order to free their homeland from blood sucking vampires.
I am a prepper of sorts. It is my belief that someone, state sponsored or not, is going to shut down civilization as we know it. We will not know what is happening at the end of the block never mind across the sea. Chaos is the game. Controlled chaos. When the chaos becomes uncontrolled and it will, then game over.

The idea that drones et al can control the border is ludicrous. Boots on the ground and visual surveillance only will control the border. Does anyone listen to the opinions of the Border Patrol actually doing the work.; they are unanimous in favor of building the Wall. Why? So they can concentrate on monitoring the portions of the border where the Wall concept does not work, such as the Rio Grande river. With drones etc.The reason that so much animus is being aimed at the Wall is because using it with all the other barrier techniques will work. What would the USA do with a diminished supply of cheap labor and drugs et al? The Dark Lords of the Deep State will fight tooth and nail over the Wall.

Yes, it's more conspiracy nonsense. The billionaires of the world have accumulated wealth so that they can destroy it and hide in the ground.
If you have a ridiculous idea, then post it and people will pay attention.
Well, Mr. Hardner, as far as the wealthy elite is concerned, they would love to bring us all down to the level of destitute poverty for then we would be far easier to control and would be far less likely to compete with them for power or resources. Those that are in these positions are there because they or their forefathers were able to eliminate their competition and establish monopolies in the fields that they controlled. What they fear, is that enough of us might wake up and realize how greedy they are, how much they have manipulated the systems, and that we might even try to level the playing fields to allow for competition in their enterprises. They do not tolerate this mentality and will do anything they can to neutralize us all. But you are free to believe what you've been programmed to believe. I choose to look at the world from multiple viewpoints. CNN and CBC provide an extremely narrow view, and quite frankly, much doctored "news".

Mainly because America promised a lot and delivered nothing. We should have kept the Arrow going.
Let's tackle the immigration issue, GH.
The problem is where does the polity of the USA draw the line. If we allow all the poor into the US as the Great Benefactor, we would have billions of people here. So looking at it from the poor’s perspective is not the whole story. And number two, if we let all the unfortunates enter the US, who is going to pay for them. The idea that they take no resources for support is wrong. For example, because it is a good one, California’s homeless situation is growing rapidly as people are pulling a John Steinbeck and moving to the land of warm opportunity which it is not. The attitude of California’s government is lunacy, as evidenced by the intrastate civil war that is brewing.
Jesus answered the politicians of his time when they questioned the use of ointments used for him by one of the women of his group. They asked him why waste the “capital” of that, you could give the money to the poor. His answer was, there will always be poor with us, but I will be with you for only a short time. He promoted support of the poor, but not their elimination. In today’s language, there will always be a spectrum of wealth in society. Jesus taught that we need to be satisfied with our lot and be as good as we can be.
This society is a powerful uplifter of people providing opportunity. That is why people die to come here. If we allow either the elite or too many indigents to destroy the ability to provide opportunity, this will come to a screeching halt. Which is exactly what Soros, Rockefeller et al want. The really scary pert is, if they were to get their way, what do they get out of it. If anyone thinks they are being altruistic, I have a Bridge in Brooklyn I would like to sell you.

Yup, everything is ridiculous to some people but yet some of that so-called ridiculousness may just be true. But how are you going to know or find out if it is ridiculous or not if you have a closed mind and are only to willing to read and listen to one side of the story and not read and listen to the other side of the story? The world is full of one sided story people and it is those people who are the problem never the solution. They refuse to believe that there is another side to the story. That is enough common sense and logic for now.
True. Some people like Hardner think CNN, the Toronto Star and CBC, among others are the only beacons of truth. Sad, in my opinion, and that's why the brainwashed masses are easy prey.

Have you ever stopped to consider that people may have had different reasons for voting for whom they did? Like maybe they found Hillary almost equally unpalatable? I myself try to keep an open mind when it comes to other people's political systems. Have you met every one of those 46% who voted for Trump? How can you tell they're all ignorant and spiteful?
This election year was the worst I've ever seen. It doesn't have so much to do with the fact that Trump was elected, but that the nominees that year were absolute s****. Polls done before the election show that most people voted for their candidate of choice because they disliked them less than the opposition, not because they actually liked them at all. It was one of those elections--where you have to choose between dumb and dumber.
Think before you judge.
We are witnessing the greatest change in the world economy in a thousand years or more.
The “market economy” in a traditional, liberal sense is effectively finished – markets will still have some input, but prices for all major imports will be managed on the governmental level through bilateral negotiations and long-term agreements – similar to the Soviet style GOSPLAN, but on the world-wide level.
Trump’s goal now is to begin managing in a manual mode prices for major imports coming into US, thereby setting the price of the dollar in relation to liquid commodities – metals, oil, LNG and so on.
Otherwise, these prices, and hence the management of the smooth deflation of the dollar bubble would be in the hands of the London, European and Chinese stock exchanges.
That is why the beginning of the current “strange”, unhurried trade war on the part of Trump is a blow to the British-Chinese coalition who with the help of global media was counting on the role of the main financial arbiter and a middle man.
Not the most cunning manipulators will win, but the players and coalitions with the longest lasting resources. What will also stimulate the formation of coalitions, the concentration of control over resources and markets by the largest players of each of the centers of the new multi-polar world.

Perhaps war with Russia is the globalist ploy to depopulate the earth since the handwriting is on the wall. There are too many people and not enough resources to go around. The billionaires have been busily building their lavishly supplied underground bunkers and compounds in recent years, particularly in New Zealand, which is thought to be one of the safer locales in the event of nuclear war. It’s doubtful the billionaire globalists would go to that extent unless they knew something was on the horizon.

Do you realize how far off your reality compass is ? Trump is scaling back healthcare - why do you STILL think he's going to do ANYTHING for regular people ?
I'm shaking my head at this, Topaz. He has completely fooled so many people like you who somehow believed he would help them. At what point are you going to wake up, I wonder ?You mean the same way Trudeau has fooled you?

Juries are often the wild card in the judicial system. Regardless of whether the letter of the law says he's guilty of manslaughter if the jury feels it would be wrong to send him to jail they can decide to vote not guilty and claim they believed his story.
If you go on Twitter, and look at #justiceforcoltenboushie, you will see where this could lead. I sometimes wonder if "tolerant" Canada is in trouble.

Armed thugs enter property to steal and start an altercation... one gets shot. What a shocker!!
The kid didn’t deserve to die, and the farmer didn’t deserve to be charged with murder. Sucks all around I’d say.... but the whole racism angle is silly rhetoric.
And the PM tweeting about it is in the same league as Trump. It makes it seem he thinks the farmer should be in jail for life and the jury was wrong in their verdict. The PM shouldn’t have gotten involved.
This was a short, but well-reasoned response, squid. Knowing what you know about this case, what would you have done if you were Stanley on that unfortunate day? A situation I wouldn't wish for any law-abiding citizen on his or her own property.
I also heard that Stanley had to pretty much sell off his farm to pay legal costs. His life will not be better. I can't confirm that though.

Many are. It's a fact of life. During the Stanley trial, and leading up to it, many people made extremely racist comments on social media, particularly in Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Example:
“His only mistake was leaving witnesses,” wrote one rural municipality councillor, who later resigned over the post.I never heard that. That is terribly irresponsible, if true. Do you think Stanley should be locked up for life, knowing what you know about this case?

The OP's premise is about a home invasion. If someone breaks into your home, he said.....
Yes. The case in Sask. is about property invasion. I used home invasion because most of us own a home or live in an apartment. Most of us don't own farmland. I would have to think farmers are vulnerable because they are isolated. If you live in Toronto, you don't understand how long it can take for police to arrive at your farm in rural Saskatchewan.

The story in this link seems a little different than the story in the other link, so if this more accurate than the shooter was under significantly more stress. But he still maintains that the gun went off accidentally.
If someone was actively threatening my life or my kids life, and I had the means, I think I could/would kill them. But it would really have to be a me or them situation.
The problem with "stand your ground" laws is that people really do try to use that to cover up deliberate murder. The problem with having guns as your protection and to "scare" people is that you can easily kill someone accidentally, whether its a property thief you wanted to scare off, or someone asking for direction at your front door, or a family member sneaking in late. Even the farmer in this story claims he wasn't intending to kill this kid, only make him do something using a show of force.
He was acquitted, I see.
The OP was an opinion piece from someone who lives far away from Saskatchewan. It was in Maclean's. I heard the 5 young people had a loaded gun. I heard they tried to steal an ATV. I heard they rammed the wife's vehicle. I hope I am never in a situation like this. None of us really no how we'd react if it actually happened to us. So many what ifs.
You mentioned what you'd do if it was a me or them situation, which I understand. But at what point do you decide it's me or him. I don't know what the answer is. I hope I never have to face a situation like this.

Shortly after the financial denouement those in seats of power might come to realize that the millions of idle hands are a liability, not an asset to the system as a whole, UNLESS, of course there is a group in power that depends on the idle hands as its power base (as has happened in Venezuela).
Then, in either instance, things will get really interesting.
