Maybe if you tried travelling a bit you might find that mixing with other cultures/colors can be fun and educational. That may quell your fears.

They are bombing the rebels that want Assad out. They are also bombing hospitals. ISIS has taken advantage of the situation and moved in. Putin's target is more to keep Assad in power than it is ISIS. RT? you must be kidding, but I can see you consult them regularly

Much more effective to do it as a group. Many other Canadians agree.

I see, I must have misunderstood your desire for a pasty white Canada.

They could in theory give their votes to the dems., but that is highly unlikely. What they could do instead is give their votes to a different Republican to keep Trump out. Clinton could also release her voters with a request to vote for an alternative GOP member. I think both are long shots but who knows, as more is revealed about the Russian influence through hacking etc., eyebrows may be raised. After all if you look at what the function of the EC is, it's to keep crackpots out of the White House.

According to the air force "The C-295 more than meets the requirements of the Royal Canadian Air Force." The specs the DND had laid out were too specific, and clashed with the governments need to be able to provide an open competition.

If that's true then pissing off China wasn't a smart move.

I think it may be your arguments that are a little faulty. Specs were set out for the aircraft and this one met them, not 75% of them. Don't like the specs? blame the NRC.

So let's recap for a moment. So far Trump, even though he's not in office yet, has managed to piss off China, cozied up to Russia, has agreed with the Philippine president that extra judicial killing of drug addicts by police at street level is quite acceptable, has a discredited military general who was forced out of the DIA who likes to attend Russian media dinners and can't seem to figure out if he's a democrat or a republican as his National Security Adviser, wants to keep fifth avenue closed down so he can live in his own joint instead of the white house.....wait is this reality or a weird movie plot? I could go on but I'm getting played out. I'm sure I'll have something to add tomorrow when the latest news breaks.

Perhaps what I say simply goes over your head.

I see the GOP is getting on board to examine the Russian connection. Good on 'em. http://www.cnn.com/2016/12/11/politics/russia-us-elections-2016/index.html

But boy did he show you guys how healthcare should work. Pay attention.

Nope. Not a communist or a racist. And I'll never want to be either.

Yep.

You really must have your head in the sand, or elsewhere. You don't understand the horror's racism has created in the world. Do you approve of the KKK?

He most certainly does with statements that millions of illegals voted for him, which is absurd but they still seem to buy it down there. Just ask BC.

Putin is bombing rebels who are tired of Assad's iron fist rule because he wants the oil to keep flowing. Not sure where you think America is bombing. Perhaps pull your head a little further out of the sand. Until you see daylight is a good start.

This is my country too, and I think trying to stifle pointing out that we were, and to some extent still are racist, is much more of a disgrace.

The streets of Canada are being bombed now? Where, I hadn't heard that. And no, we can't take everyone in who might be living in poverty, but we can certainly make some room for those who are in harms way and need it most. Maybe you can give Putin or Assad a call and ask them politely to stop bombing the shit out of Syria. Or, just your head back in the sand.

It is completely....eerie I guess is one word. As has been mentioned all over the media etc., that if Hillary had said even a snippet of the crazy crap Trump got away with in the debates or his campaign speeches, she would have been crucified. Trump gets to blabber on lying his head off, promoting his various social ineptitude's, and now this biz with the CIA. Where did he get this "guest pass" I wonder.

Correct. So then if they find out the Ruskies did interfere with yours, they could go ahead and support the popular vote.

This was discussed earlier and the question was raised if possibly this revelation could give any of the EC people pause before they vote Dec 19.

A billion? Yes we did get saddled with penalty costs but a billion, no not even a half. And then Harper dicked around with the Cyclone contract and still no helicopters.

That would be the aircraft that landed Harper in such trouble and caused the file to be removed from his care where it finally died on the vine, thankfully.

Maybe comparing the MSRP's will clear things up for you.
