Study finds paper straws higher in cancer-causing chemicals than plastic | True North It Turns Out Paper Straws Might Pose a Serious Problem Too : ScienceAlert Do plastic bottles cause cancer? | Plastic and cancer Scientists warn paper straws pose major risks to human health | News Tech | Metro News You should do a little reading sometime instead of barking out nonsense all the time.

I read it but you don't seem to understand what I said. Your insults are worthless garbage.

No, I don't think that is correct. When a province decides to separate, it is not a Constitutional amendment they are seeking. There would have to be negotiations between the federal government and other provinces. If your idea were attempted, that could force a province to not negotiate and simply declare itself as independent.

hahahhahaha. I thought you knew what you were talking about. You seem to think they are independent and not under the provincial (and federal) government authority.

When they are given some land, it is not talking about them having a sovereign country. I am not sure what land you are talking about exactly. They don't have a sovereign country on some piece of land. It is still under the authority of the province and subject to provincial and federal laws. They are only given use of some land for certain purposes, not to be a separate country. So if a province separates, they don't have any say in it. But if you like to argue go for it.

I am not sure that using plastic straws puts chemical in our bodies. I have not heard that claim. I would oppose imposing more extreme regulations and costs on Canadians to do useless things that just create more bureaucracy and expense for taxpayers and others. Canada is great at being Socialistic and bureaucratic. That is costing the people a lot and is another reason housing is so expensive in Canada now. Liberals and left have a tendency to regulate everything to death, put charges, fees, permits on everything and create vast regulations. I think we should be on our guard against that. Governments at all levels have a tendency to do that. That is great for government unions workers and employees as it creates more work, but it makes everyone else poorer.

Isn't that what I told you before?

Do you think the FNs allowed BC to become a British colony? Did FN allow BC to join confederation? FN had no say in it. FN might have something to say about it, but they don't get to make the decision. If there was a referendum, individuals might get a vote the same as non-natives but they don't decide themselves.

Here's an example. Do you think a province has the right to decide to separate?

You of course never said anything incorrect.

I think you are here to play games and see if you can trick people or trip them. Am I correct? I've been around long enough to know what you are up to.

I thought we were talking about the hypothetical possibility of a province separating. Within Canada, it depends what FN matters you are talking about. They are under the authority of the federal government in some matters. Some FN issues fall under the authority of the province they are in. If a province did separate, what authority do you think the natives in that province would fall under?

A number of provinces in central and eastern Canada joined together to form the country in 1867. B.C. did not join until a number of years later. You are a just trying to stir up the pot. The first step is Alberta would decide whether it wants to pursue separation and the negotiations would have to begin from there.

Separation would require complex negotiations between the separating province, the federal government and other provinces according to what I've read. So there is not much to debate. That's how it would have to happen. As a keyboard warrior you don't get to decide the details.

I've read far more than you. For example, B.C. was British colony before it joined Canada. If Quebec has the right to separate so does every other province.

It's that attitude that stinks and contributes to the wish to separate. No, the province decides. Is that all you can come up with?

FNs are under the authority of the provincial government and do not tell the province what they can do. They are 5% of the population. The majority decides, not 5%.

I doubt it. Provinces are a defined geographic area with one provincial government representing and sovereign over their own province. I think most provincial governments would agree their own boundaries are sovereign and unchangeable. What applies to one province applies to all.

What makes you think BC would want to deny Alberta access to ports or pipelines? I live in BC and would welcome pipelines and give them access to ports. We have much more in common with Alberta than Ontario, Quebec and eastern Canada. We get our oil, gas, agriculture, and beef from Alberta.

What about the fact Alberta would not have to pay Quebec and the eastern provinces billions of dollars in equalization payments and would not have the federal government blocking the development of the oil and gas industries with their emission caps and carbon taxes?

The natural resource industries such as oil, gas, mining, forestry create hundreds of thousands of good-paying jobs as well as hundreds of thousands of spin-off jobs. That is what makes Canadians prosper and own everything they do. What would you replace that with and how? Jobs are not created out of blue just by wishful thinking. Jobs are created by people who invest in companies that start businesses. They don't invest in something unless they know they will make money. That's just how the world works. Tell us how you would create this new world with new jobs and who would invest in it. What kind of jobs would they be?

If you don't think the real money making industry for Canada is natural resource extractions and selling, what kind of business do you think Canada could make good money in? What high end goods and services could Canada produce and be able to compete with China, Asia, and Mexico?

How could that be? Give some examples. I thought criminals were claiming they acted because of their mental illness and couldn't help what they did when they killed a lot of people.

We need to learn that many people with mental illness should not be on the street at all. Medical hospitals are not for the mentally ill patients. There have always been places for the mentally ill that have staff that are properly trained to deal with them. You probably wouldn't believe if I told you there is no one kind of mentally ill person. There is a wide range or spectrum of types of mental illness. There are some who are dangerous to others in varying degrees and it is often impossible to tell what kind of danger these people represent. That is proven by the fact that mentally ill people have been released for outings on day passes and have committed assaults on other people. There are some mentally ill people who are so dangerous even to themselves they must be kept in a fully padded room or they will harm themselves. They may even need to be restrained with straight jackets that keep their arms tightly controlled. They also may need endless injections to keep them calm. These kind of people are not something that normal hospitals are equipped to deal with either. They may need to be in a padded cell and physically restrained for the rest of their life. They require very specialized staff to handle them. Doctors or science cannot necessarily change a defective brain in that state.
