Nope, but I bet you Trump is hoping like hell this one will.

I've been on both sides of that table as well, and yes, there has to be some background to get there. The current immigration system already does that and yes a face to face follow up to confirm those credentials is a sensible thing to do. Trying to make arbitrary decisions about personalities is not.

I think that's what I just pointed out to you. The trick is not just believing everything and anything the internet etc. says to you. Otherwise you get sucked into the endless void of conspiracy theories. WTC, Obama's passport, Pizzagate, and on and on.

Perhaps you should be a little more discerning. There is a ton of fake news out there. Pizzagate is but one example.

Doesn't matter what you or I think, it's codified in Canadian law.

Care to name names here, or are you part of the Pizzagate crowd?

So then why are you making it an issue?

Think for a moment about the obvious differences, if you were applying for a job as ,say, a pilot, you might expect to be asked "what types of aircraft have you flown, and for how long"? Under Leitch's silly program you would get asked "do you plan to work hard to support you and your family"? Now who do you think could get away with fake answers?

Oh it's not an "emotional devotion", at least not like the one that you demonstrate with your "anyone who points out xenophobic comments is empty headed".You quote some pretty questionable sources, and only ones that support you "cause". That's of course your choice, but don't be surprised when people dismiss them.

Feel free to buy whatever you want from the Fraser. The last time you tried to flog this same report from them, there were numerous rebuttals, but you like to simply follow your right winger's because they seem to have the same views as you.

You only wish that were true. There are numerous reports that point out the bias of the right wing Fraser Institute's report you seem to live by, but here's just one for your edification. http://torontonorthlip.ca/sites/torontonorthlip.ca/files/MythsAboutImmigrants-phase1-report-final.pdf

The experts who actually deal with such things point out the huge costs of hiring/training people who MAY be effective trying to conduct such questioning, and even at that you might still end up wasting time. They point out that as quickly as we could piss away a lot of tax money setting up such questioning, "schools" would be created abroad to advise would be immigrants how to deal with those questions, whether they were lying or not.

He may have made a big goof as well when I guess he was all in a temper tantrum and sent out a tweet directed at Sally Yates that could be found to have been threatening to her as she was about to give testimony. If so, that's impeachable.

So why does trump insist on trying to lie his way out of why he did it? Pretty obvious it had nought to do with Hillary and lots to do with the FBI closing in on the "Putin Connection"

I think you may be confusing immigrants with refugees. Many immigrants are welcomed to Canada because they have job skills that are needed, and those are the things that are currently screened for, not wasting time and money asking, "do you like to beat your wife" and such nonsense. And I think we already wet through showing the bias of your Fraser Institute report.

It's not only businesses that pay taxes, a lot more is paid by working people. If you want to keep your OAP we'll need more people on the payrolls.

Not really, I just realize the plan is a waste of time and effort.

Oh yeah, it is why he was fired, Trump may just be desperate enough hope the actual issue gets buried under the firing issue, but that won't work of course. And of course just now Flynn has been subpoenaed. He's probably gassing up AF One as we speak to get to hell out of town.

And now the plot gets even thicker: Trump invites Russian officials to the WH and only allows Russian media to attend. Any ideas on what might be next? http://mashable.com/2017/05/10/trump-lets-russian-photogrphers-into-meeting/#ibuQ6sF59aqE

Hate crime records certainly are kept by police. Perhaps you simply have a different definition of what a hate crime is ( I wouldn't be at all surprised based on some of the things you've said so far) so to you they are fake. And do you actually think police don't report murders for political reasons? And yes, gun laws do work, as the information given you proves.

I don't think John McCain is a Liberal. Glad to see you finally gave up your gun law nonsense.

Not to the majority that voted for him.

So you're saying 74% of Calgary's voting population are idiots.

It turns out that Hadith's and the Quran have their differences. Believe which one you choose I guess. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/belief/2012/sep/17/muhammad-aisha-truth

Police forces are the people who deal with gun murders and therefore have the statistics. Especially in the countries mentioned. Do you suppose they just bury the numbers of people murdered in an effort to support gun laws. I thought you said you were into common sense?
