The best thing Canadians can do for them to show that they are really sorry for what happened to murdered police and their families is to support capital punishment being brought back for murderers of police officers and prison guards. Expressing sorrow and condolences is a nice gesture, but it still doing nothing about the existing failed justice system. All the memorials, condolences, and commemorations is fine but it does nothing to protect other officers in their line of work. We need less talk and more action by our leaders. "6 Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man." Genesis 9:6 KJV "1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. 2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: 4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. 5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. 6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. " Romans 13:1-6 KJV

I am not sure how you come to that conclusion. Yes, I think it deters murders. Not all states have it. One thing is absolutely true. The same murderer will not be doing it again. Obviously it sends a message. You know what will happen if you get caught.

Because it is a completely different type of country. Everyone has guns. It is a constitutional right in the U.S. for everyone to own guns, including handguns and assault rifles. Actually more guns than people and there are lots of cities full of criminals and large areas of poverty.

" RCMP Const. Rick O'Brien was shot and killed and two officers were injured, while executing a search warrant in Coquitlam, about 30 kilometres east of Vancouver, on Friday morning. O'Brien, 51, was a decorated constable from the Ridge Meadows detachment and he just recently celebrated seven years of service. He leaves behind a wife and children. "This is an extremely difficult and tragic day," Deputy Commissioner Dwayne McDonald, the Commanding Officer of the B.C. RCMP, said at a news conference. "Const. O'Brien led by example. He had a great sense of humour, he was well respected by his peers, and he was loved in his community," McDonald said. O'Brien succumbed to his injuries at the scene after receiving treatment from first responders, McDonald said. One officer and the suspect remain in the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The other officer was treated for minor injuries and released. " RCMP officer Rick O'Brien dead, 2 officers injured in Coquitlam shooting | CBC News The number of police being killed in the line of duty has been getting much worse in the past year. Twelve have been killed in the past year in Canada. We need to protect our police officers and prison guards. They are putting their lives on the line in a difficult job and we need to do everything possible to protect them. Capital punishment for killing them might go a good way to helping them. Obviously the existing lenient system is not working. An offender killed two people in the Fraser Valley just over a week ago and he was released on bail. Unbelievable how dysfunctional our justice system has become.

It is not just acceptance that SOGI123 is teaching in the school system. They are actually grooming kids and telling them they can be whatever gender and sexual orientation that they choose. That is far different than teaching acceptance. And to disagree with that agenda, it is hate and discrimination according to you and the LGBT activists. That is a lie and I think you must know it. Teaching acceptance or mutual respect is one thing. But why does it require teaching that LGBT, trans, etc. is normal and any kid can choose to be part of it? This is teaching an ideology and is something totally different. The Ministry of Education also involves Egale Canada in the education system. Egale is Canada’s leading organization for 2SLGBTQI people and issues. This means a prominent LGBTQ group effectively has a lot of control over the SOGI 123 curriculum. If you don't believe the government has this LGBT activist group as part of the education system, just look at the government's own website: "For more information on SOGI in schools and impacts on students, see the 2011 Egale National Climate Survey on Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia in Canadian Schools: https://egale.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/EgaleFinalReport-web.pdf" Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) in schools | BC Gov News Both the BC NDP and the current opposition party, now called BC United Party, formerly the BC Liberal Party support the SOGI 123 in schools. The BC United Party have said they won't change it. They changed their name, but not their stripes or ideology. They also support carbon taxes.

A more centrist party is just a cover for liberal party. They are nothing more than liberals trying to claim they are conservatives. One of their supporters mentioned in the article is former B.C. premier Christy Clarke. She was a liberal if there ever was one. It was the BC Liberal Party she led and they were ones that brought in the carbon tax in B.C. in 2008, and then later brought in the SOGI 123 in the education system in B.C. She also signed a deal with China around 2015 to make B.C. a part of China's belt and road policy and build a huge warehouse in Surrey, B.C.

So you want continue to push "queer culture" in schools and you won't vote Conservative because PP said parents have rights too?

The assassination of the Sikh leader in Surrey is absolutely deplorable and should be investigated and those responsible brought to justice. The fact also remains that Trudeau and Liberals/NDP have been and are turning a blind eye to Khalistan extremism in Canada for decades. Liberals and NDP operate on the principle of supporting voting blocks regardless of what it means. This is a huge weakness in the party system of government. It is also the reason Trudeau supports huge numbers of third world immigration and is the reason he support LGBTQ and opposes parental rights. It's all about supporting voting blocks.

This is clearly false. I am not sure what you mean by "sex ed", but the SOGI 123 curriculum (sexual orientation and gender identity) is mandatory in B.C. by the Ministry of Education. Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) in schools | BC Gov News

The Central Okanogan School Board has a webpage describing their policy on SOGI 123 (Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity). They state "Informing people about the experience of someone else will not make them gay or straight, since these are not choices. As children mature, they will self-identify on their own terms about whether they are gay, lesbian, straight, bisexual, or transgender –" Right there they tell the biggest lie or falsehood, however you wish to view it. They claim being gay or straight is not a choice. This is completely false. There is no scientific proof that people are born gay. There are no gay genes or DNA. It is absolutely a choice. The reasons why it is chosen may be unclear, but the idea people are born this way is a complete myth which is widely believed and propagated. It is the underlying excuse that backs up the brainwashing of kids in schools. The onus is not on me or any citizen to prove them wrong. The onus is on the people who are forcing this agenda on society to prove what they are doing is legitimate. Lying is not proof of anything.

Yes, one out of 800,000. Maybe you didn't watch the television news lately, but there were large crowds of them all carrying Kalistan signs. There are 800,000 Sikhs in Canada. They held a referendum and protests with signs recently. I would be willing to believe the great majority favour separation from India to form Khalistan. Seems to be a large part of their religion to have their own state, maybe a Sikh theocracy. Kind of like Islam. Why did they even bother coming to Canada if that is what they are obsessed with? Why did we let all these kind of people into Canada? Liberal votes of course. This has created a monster for the government to deal with. The government is helpless now.

That's exactly why we should never have been bringing all kinds of immigrants into Canada from the third world. We also should not be getting involved in other countries internal affairs in places like India and elsewhere. But many Canadians do not understand the consequences and want to be good boy scouts for the rest of the world. Canadians that get heavily involved in other countries have a very naive view of the world and think the world revolves around them and they believe they can change the world. This is especially true of the Liberals and NDP. This is the same old story with Canada and China. Not wise. Books could be written on this subject and some have. Canada's foreign relations policy is a disaster. Disastrous decisions are made by our governments one after another. Canada's policy re the middle east and the U.N. is another disaster. Look at the disaster that happened in Rwanda. Canada cannot save the world and should realize it.

That is not how things work in many countries. There are many places where separatists are only interested in violence. They are not peaceful and not interested in democracy. Like the Taliban in Afghanistan. They want to impose their own radical ideology on everyone. I tried to explain that but you can't seem to understand that groups that want things by violence cannot be given any leeway. A so-called Khalistan would be a Sikh religious theocracy. What you think about how things should be or how things are peacefully done in Canada is not how it works in the rest of the world.

You are contradicting yourself. Never said it hasn't been going on a long time. Funny how JT appears in photo ops though with Khalistan supporters. He simply doesn't understand the ramifications of his supporting them. They are looked upon as terrorists in India with good reason.

Isn't that what I just said? They don't care which party is in power.

It just proves terrorists don't care which government is in power. If they want to commit terrorist acts, they will.

If you can't understand the fact that many people have already died over this and all it does is lead to more violence, you do not understand the matter. You cannot make people be peaceful if that is not in them to be.

That's not how it works with Sikhs. There has been a lot of violence in India and brought to Canada with the blowing up Air India plane in 1985. Thousands have died in India in fighting. One PM was assassinated in revenge of Indian authorities occupying the Golden Temple. Lot of people have been killed over the issue. This is not something that anyone in Canada should be involved in. Protesting for this issue should be illegal in Canada. No good can come of it.

It is wrong when almost all the Sikh immigrants from India are doing it within Canada. They are demanding it as a core belief of their religion. This is organized interference in another country's sovereignty. This is not a part of being a good Canadian citizen. This makes Canada a part of the problem as India sees it. Of course liberals see it as just a part of their democratic rights or freedoms, but freedom is not unlimited. There are responsibilities on everyone to maintain peace, order, and that includes respecting the sovereignty of other countries and their internal governance. Canada demands that other countries do not interfere with Canadian democracy, elections, and sovereignty. Canada's government and all citizens must likewise respect other countries sovereignty including India.

Do you believe everything the Supreme Court says is right. Millions would disagree. Just for your information the SC ruled in favour of several damnable things. Correct me if I'm wrong. Going by memory. 1. Abortion 2. Medical assistance in dying. 3. Life sentences do not mean life necessarily. 4. Sikhs may carry daggers in public places and schools. The Charter of Rights and Freedoms turns 40: 10 important cases | National Post The reason for the rulings is because the SC is loaded with liberals who believe in liberalism/progressivism.

What group is Trudeau standing with in the photo op above? Says Khalsa Day on the sign behind him. What is that? What is Khalsa all about?

quote Trudeau’s party is believed to lend passive support to the Khalistanis who have been using Canada as a strong base for decades now. The Canadian PM has repeatedly failed to take into account the sensitivities in India regarding support to Sikh terror groups in Canada. unquote In a first under Justin Trudeau, Canada lists Khalistani extremism as threat | World News - The Indian Express Do you think this article is true? Do you think Liberals support Kalistanis?

This article describes how the Khalistan movement has been a militant, violent organization In India. It has a history of violent confrontation with the India security service and many lives have been lost. Yet this photo shows Trudeau seems to support this organization. How can this be possible in Canada which has designated some organizations as terrorists? Why India fears the Khalistan movement and how Canada became embroiled in diplomatic spat over killing of Sikh separatist (theconversation.com)

You miss the point entirely. The whole purpose of Sikhs carrying kirpans is to demonstrate just how militant and intimidating they are about Sikhism. People do not carry jack knives or pocket knives for that kind of reason. The kirpan is carried in a case on a sling for the purpose of sending a violent message.

The Khalistan movement should be designated as a terrorist organization and outlawed in Canada. Since the Proud Boys and other organizations that have not been involved in any terrorism ( not in any significant way) have been designated as such, the government needs to look at the history of the Khalistan movement in India and the violent conflicts that happened, including the Air India bombing and loss of 329 lives in 1985. What is deemed to be a terrorist organization should not be done by politics but actual terrorist acts in the past. The Liberals and NDP have lost any credibility on this subject.
