  1. Unless you happen to live near a coast.
  2. You mean like when brother Jeb fixed things up for brother George?
  3. Still running away from it eh?
  4. Perhaps hasn't considered it beyond a way to take a cheap shot at Trudeau.
  5. http://climateactiontracker.org/countries/china.html
  6. Leitch is a big fan of Trump's. I thought that would have given you pause.
  7. Kellie Lietch eh? She's your type I guess. http://globalnews.ca/news/2349421/heres-how-refugees-are-screened-before-arriving-in-canada/
  8. Don't know where you get this 1 in 10 idea, (though you do seem to have a "way" with numbers) they are all screened and usually by 3 levels. Young single men who don't have any form of documentation often don't pass muster. Just trying to appease your fear a little.
  9. Do you mean the well over 90% of professional scientists in the field who agree that global warming is happening any why? I don't think they are the morons.
  10. Good post. I am as white as you can get and I would have no hesitation the stand back and examine the things that being white I have probably taken for granted for a long time. I see Argus has already weighed in with wanting to throw white people who consider such things out of the country, but we knew that was coming.
  11. Did you mean the extra-judicial executions OF Palestinians? https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/apr/15/britain-silent-extrajudicial-killing-palestinians-israel-terror
  12. Yes and it's those nasty little greenhouse gas concentrations that seem to helping that ice disappear.
  13. Not so easy if your hotel room (in Dubai) happens to be across the street from a minaret.
  14. I'm saying that the global warming deniers are wasting their time in light of actual verifiable data. Pretty hard to get away with faking a sat photo showing the deterioration of arctic sea ice. Especially 800,000 sq. kms. of it.
  15. And so you think this kind of shyte shouldn't be challenged? http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/hillary-clinton-fake-news-conspiracy-theory-child-sex-ring-edgar-maddison-welch-open-fire-comet-ping-a7456021.html
  16. Yep I think that anyone with the slightest scientific background knows this little ice age business was all hocus pocus. Especially when you have sat. photos showing 800,000 sq. kms. of arctic ice missing over a decade.
  17. I suspect Argus believes that every Muslim who lives and breathes is a disciple of Osama Bin Ladens, and he will dredge up any old thing he can that will endorse his beliefs. Trouble is, there are probably a certain segment of the population that will buy in and xenophobia continues.
  18. I guess we'll see if the EC did the right thing putting Trump in office starting in late January when we see if he follows through on his wacky policies. The wall, kicking out Muslims and Mexicans, etc., etc.
  19. Or the short story: Alexander Hamilton was explicit: this mechanism was designed to ensure that “the office of president will never fall to the lot of any man who is not in an eminent degree endowed with the requisite qualifications.” In short, it was designed to prevent just this situation: the rise of an unqualified demagogue like Donald Trump.
  20. All you have to do is have a simple grasp of math to understand those percentages here in Canada. Here is what the EC is about. http://www.factcheck.org/2008/02/the-reason-for-the-electoral-college/
  21. I just think this EC thing is way out of date, although having said that, ironically this time around the concept of protecting the country from a whack job leader may have failed. I prefer the Canadian system where you don't need 50+1 to win, but then we have much stronger representation from more than 2 parties unlike the US.
  22. When I was a kid the likelihood of seeing a black Santa at a mall was pretty remote, and I'm not sure how that would have affected me. However, I came to my own conclusion that he was a myth eventually, and it wasn't traumatic at all. It was good fun while it lasted and then I moved on.
  23. Why do you need over 50%, why not just an overwhelming majority of the popular vote, such as Hillary got this time around?
  24. That approach will really calm things down.
