  1. Why is the Trudeau government keeping the names of 900 Nazis immigrants secret? Why is the Trudeau government keeping the files on the Winnipeg lab secret? Why is the Trudeau government keeping the names of the MPs involved in foreign interference secret? Yet you don't believe in Cdn govt conspiracy. Keeping these serious things secret is a conspiracy.
  2. The post national state under Trudeau and the Liberals has been a complete disaster. Liberal ideology shows no signs of changing so the downward spiral will continue. "The Liberals have consistently exhibited a serious lack of judgment, understanding of Khalistani extremism , and recognition of India’s regional security priorities when dealing with New Delhi. Whether it was Trudeau’s calamitous “ Bollywood adventure ” India trip in 2018, or the handling of the Nijjar assassination case, the Liberals have been way out of their depth when it comes to deploying a charm offensive to woo the Modi government. A sensible and competent statesman would have resorted to backroom diplomacy to convince India to join the RCMP investigation into the Nijjar assassination case to ensure that the bilateral ties between Canada and India remained intact. Instead, the eternal showman that he is, Trudeau opted for an image-based communications strategy and partisan mudslinging . Consequentially, Canada’s relationship with a natural ally is in tatters, and a foreign conflict that has nothing to do with Canadians has spilled onto the streets. These outcomes are hardly surprising for a government obsessed with social engineering and virtue-signaling. Promoting post-national multiculturalism with pretentious statements like “You come here, you can be who you are” and “ There is no core identity , no mainstream in Canada,” offer little to no incentive to newcomers to assimilate into Canadian society in any meaningful way. On the contrary, multiculturalism undermines national unity, and equal individual rights as minority interests and rights are prioritized instead. Even Quebec Premier François Legault recognizes the threat multiculturalism poses to the French language and Quebec culture. After years of appeasing certain groups and excusing the violence on the streets, the Trudeau government has succeeded in turning Canada into a dumpster fire for cultural grievances. Instead of enforcing the rule of law to deter rioters and pro-terror supporters, preachy platitudes like “This is not who we are as Canadians” are offered. Then again, appeasement politics, not law and order, has been the hallmark of the Trudeau government. Allies, not extremists, are abandoned if it translates into votes. These tendencies are also best illustrated by the Liberals’ willful blindness to the increasingly hostile pro-terror protests and attacks against the Jewish community that have continued incessantly for over a year." Joe Adam George: Khalistani-Hindu clashes product of Trudeau’s post-national experiment
  3. Well, I guess everyone must decide themselves about everything they read. We all depend on information, reports, history books, etc. to know what happened in the world in the past. Sometimes, you can check more than one source to verify whether something is true or not. I think most of the history of what happened to the Jews is pretty well common history. I quoted some things from Wikipedia and the Encyclopedia Britannica. You can investigate anything you want and see if it is true or not. I can't spend hours trying to find other sources to verify what seems like pretty common information. The Holocaust is very common and well-established history. There are many sources of information and many graves and photos of piles of bodies. Not many question the Holocaust. As for Hitler's anti-Semitism, there were many publications put out during the Nazi era which clearly show the Nazi's plan to carry out the final solution. Hitler and the Nazis had been working on this for years. Some of the publications were propaganda designed to turn the whole country against the Jews. Don't believe the propaganda books which attack the Jews. I have a book that goes into some detail about Gerhard Kittel who was one of Hitler's anti-Semite propaganda men. I have learned some interesting yet shocking facts about him. He was also the editor and producer of the 10 volume Greek New Testament dictionary which has been used by modern Bible translators in the production of the modern versions of the Bible. Yet he was convicted of war crimes and went to prison. You can Google him and find out about this. Some of the modern Bible versions have been found to be tainted with changes that are anti-Semitic. The Bible version issue has been one of my interests for many decades. The only trustworthy Bible is the King James Version otherwise known as the Authorized Version. So if you ever get a Bible, don't forget that. It is God's written revelation to man and is entirely trustworthy. Don't waste your life without studying it. Become a son of God and know where you will spend eternity. Ye must be born again. We live in a fallen world and everyone is born with a fallen corrupt nature and needs to be redeemed. There is a battle going on in the world between Satan and God over the souls of mankind. Only the King James Bible can tell you in the most effective way how your soul can be saved.
  4. I assume you mean the book tries to claim the Jews were world conquerors? That is an old lie used as an excuse for anti-Semitism. You have to do some studying to understand where these lies come from. I hope you were able to glean something from all the effort I put into giving you the history of the anti-Semitism in the world. I learned something myself at the same time. I guess there is some benefit to researching these things.
  5. The Jews were expelled from many places down through history. Even in the 20th century alone, there were many expulsions. quote 20th century 1917 Jews expelled from the area of Jaffa by Ottoman authorities during World War I. First Batch of Refugee children arrive in England from Germany Buchenwald survivors arrive in Haifa 1933–1957 The Nazi German persecution started with the Nazi boycott of Jewish businesses in 1933, reached a first climax during Kristallnacht in 1938 and culminated in the Holocaust of European Jewry. The 1938 Evian Conference, the 1943 Bermuda Conference and other attempts failed to resolve the problem of Jewish refugees, a fact widely used in Nazi propaganda.[note 2] A small number of German and Austrian Jewish refugees from Nazism emigrated to Britain, where attitudes were not necessarily positive.[54] Many of the refugees fought for Britain in the Second World War. Already before the Holocaust, by February 1940, the expulsion of Poles by Nazi Germany from occupied western Poland also targeted some 20,000 Polish Jews.[55] There was a special institution set up in 1939 to coordinate the expulsion, initially named the Special Staff for the Resettlement of Poles and Jews (Sonderstab für die Aussiedlung von Polen und Juden), soon renamed to Office for the Resettlement of Poles and Jews (Amt für Umsiedlung der Polen und Juden), and eventually to Central Bureau for Resettlement (Umwandererzentralstelle).[56] After the war, central and eastern European Holocaust survivors migrated to the western Allied-controlled part of Europe, as the Jewish society to which most of them belonged did not exist anymore. Often they were lone survivors consumed by the often futile search for other family and friends, and often unwelcome in the towns from which they came. They were known as displaced persons (also known as Sh'erit ha-Pletah) and placed in displaced persons camps, most of which were by 1951 closed. The last camp Föhrenwald was closed in 1957. 1940 During World War II, the so-called June Deportation, carried out by the Soviet Union in June and July 1940, as the fourth of five waves of mass deportations of Polish citizens from Soviet-occupied eastern Poland, also targeted some 65,000 Polish Jews who fled from the German-occupied part of Poland.[57] According to the NKVD, Polish Jews accounted for 85% of people deported in the June Deportation.[57] The victims were deported to the Altai Krai, Chelyabinsk Oblast, Irkutsk Oblast, Krasnoyarsk Krai, Novosibirsk Oblast, Omsk Oblast, Sverdlovsk Oblast and Yakutia in Siberia, and Arkhangelsk Oblast, Komi, Mari, Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, Perm Oblast and Vologda Oblast in European Russia.[58] 1943–1944 Jews are expelled, their citizenship is stripped from them and they are subjected to pogroms in some Italian cities, including Rome, Verona, Florence, Pisa and Alessandria.[59] 1947–1972 Jewish refugees look out through the portholes of a ship while it is docked in the port city of Haifa. Iraqi Jews displaced 1951. The Exodus bringing in refugees. In the course of the operation "Magic Carpet" (1949–1950), most of the community of Yemenite Jews (called Teimanim, about 49,000) immigrated to Israel. The Jewish exodus from the Muslim world, in which the combined population of the Jewish communities of the Middle East and North Africa (excluding Israel) was reduced from about 900,000 in 1948 to under 8,000 today, and approximately 600,000 of them became citizens of Israel. The history of the exodus is politicized, given its proposed relevance to a final settlement to the Israeli–Palestinian peace negotiations.[60][61][62][63][64][65] When presenting the history, those who view the Jewish exodus as equivalent to the 1948 Palestinian expulsion and flight, such as the Israeli government and NGOs such as JJAC and JIMENA, emphasize "push factors", such as cases of anti-Jewish violence and forced expulsions,[60] and refer to those affected as "refugees".[60] Those who argue that the exodus does not equate to the Palestinian exodus emphasize "pull factors", such as the actions of local Jewish Agency for Israel officials aiming to fulfil the One Million Plan,[62] highlight good relations between the Jewish communities and their country's governments,[64] emphasize the impact of other push factors such as the decolonization in the Maghreb and the Suez War and Lavon Affair in Egypt,[64] and argue that many or all of those who left were not refugees.[60][62] Then UNHCR announced in February 1957 and in July 1967, that these Jews who had fled from Arab countries "may be considered prima facie within the mandate of this office," so according them in international law, as bona fide refugees.[66] 1947 Egypt passed the Companies' Law. This law required that no less than 75% of employees of companies in Egypt must be Egyptian citizens. This law strongly affected Jews, as only about 20% of all Jews in Egypt were Egyptian citizens. The rest, although in many cases born in Egypt and living there for generations, did not hold Egyptian citizenship. 1948 State of Israel established. Antisemitism in Egypt strongly intensified. On May 15, 1948, emergency law was declared, and a royal decree forbade Egyptian citizens to leave the country without a special permit. This was applied to Jews. Hundreds of Jews were arrested and many had their property confiscated. In June through August 1948, bombs were planted in Jewish neighborhoods and Jewish businesses looted. About 250 Jews were killed or wounded by the bombs. Roughly 14,000 Jews left Egypt between 1948 and 1950. 1949 Jordan occupies and then annexes the West Bank – largely allotted by the 1947 UN Partition of Palestine to an Arab state, proposal rejected by the Arab leadership – and conducts large scale discrimination and persecution of all non-Muslim residents – Jewish, Christian (of many denominations), Druze, Circassian, etc. – and forces Arabisation of all public activity, including schools and public administration.[67] 1951–1952 During Operation Ezra and Nehemiah, ~120,000 Jews are expelled under the De-Naturalization Act of Iraqi PM Tawfeeq Al-Suwaidi.[68][69][70][71][72] 1954 Gamal Abdel Nasser seizes power in Egypt. Nasser immediately arrested many Jews who were tried on various charges, mainly for Zionist and communist activities. Jews were forced to donate large sums of money to the military. Strict supervision of Jewish enterprises was introduced; some were confiscated and others forcibly sold to the government.[better source needed] 1956 Suez Crisis. Roughly 3,000 Egyptian Jews were interned without charge in four detention camps. The government ordered thousands of Jews to leave the country within a few days, and they were not allowed to sell their property, nor to take any capital with them. The deportees were made to sign statements agreeing not to return to Egypt and transferring their property to the administration of the government. The International Red Cross helped about 8,000 stateless Jews to leave the country, taking most of them to Italy and Greece. Most of the Jews of Port Said (about 100) were smuggled to Israel by Israel agents. The system of deportation continued into 1957. Other Jews left voluntarily, after their livelihoods had been taken from them, until only 8,561 were registered in the 1957 census. The Jewish exodus continued until there were about 3,000 Jews left as of in 1967. 1962 Jews flee Algeria as result of FLN violence. The community feared that the proclamation of independence would precipitate a Muslim outburst. By the end of July 1962, 70,000 Jews had left for France and another 5,000 for Israel. It is estimated that some 80% of Algerian Jews settled in France. 1965 Situation of Jews in Algeria rapidly deteriorates. By 1969, fewer than 1,000 Jews remain. By the 1990s, the numbers had dwindled to approximately 70.[better source needed] 1967 Six-Day War. Hundreds of Egyptian Jews arrested, suffering beatings, torture, and abuse. Some were released following intervention by foreign states, especially by Spain, and were permitted to leave the country. Libyan Jews, who numbered approximately 7,000, were subjected to pogroms in which 18 were killed, prompting a mass exodus that left fewer than 100 Jews in Libya. 1968 1968 Polish political crisis forced thousands of Jews to leave communist Poland. 1970 Less than 1,000 Jews still lived in Egypt in 1970. They were given permission to leave but without their possessions. As of 1971, only 400 Jews remained in Egypt. As of 2013, only a few dozen Jews remain in Egypt. As of 2019, there were five in Cairo.[73] As of 2022 the total number of known Egyptian Jews permanently residing in Egypt is three.[74][75] 1970–1986 State-sponsored persecution in the Soviet Union prompted hundreds of thousands of Soviet Jews, known as Refuseniks because they had been denied official permission to leave, to flee; most went to Israel or to the United States as refugees.[76] 1972 Idi Amin expels all Israelis from Uganda.[77] 1984–1985 10,000 Jews flee Ethiopia as part of Operation Moses and Operation Joshua. 1991 14,000 Jews flee Ethiopia as part of Operation Solomon. 21st century 2003 Last Jew left Libya.[78] 2010 Contact with last two Jews in Somalia was lost.[79] 2021 Last Jews left Afghanistan.[80] 2021 The Jewish population of Yemen decreases from 18 to six,[81][82][83] and later to five by 2024.[84] unquote Expulsions and exoduses of Jews - Wikipedia
  6. That is a very sad comment. The Jews have been the target of practically all of Europe, Russia, and probably other countries where there were any for the past nearly 2000 years. They have been deported from countries, legislated against in various ways and driven into ghettos. This link gives a history of many of the expulsions of the Jews from various places. Expulsions and exoduses of Jews - Wikipedia In the early 1940s they were hunted down all over Europe where the Nazis were in control and shipped to death camps in Poland as the final solution. They were told they were being re-settled in eastern Europe. Approximately six million were killed by the Nazis or around 60% of the Jews in Europe. You said in at least one previous post why were the Jews victimized. There are several reasons for this. As far as Hitler and the Nazis were concerned, one reason was the bizarre notion of Aryan superiority and Jewish inferiority. Some of Hitler's library material discovered by the U.S. Army showed personally marked occult books. Hitler kept a copy of Luciferian occultist, Madame Blavatsky's The Secret Doctrine by his bedside! From the book New Age Bible Versions. It also says Hitler's book talked about fables of the new fifth root race of 'divine' Aryans, battling the inferior old Jewish root race, coupled with its call for the open worship of Lucifer over Jehovah. (who Blavatsky identifies as 'Satan'). Other reasons for the historical anti-Semitism throughout Europe down through the centuries include the hate by the Roman Catholic church and the age old forced conversions of Jews to Catholicism. Then there is the historic belief that the Jews should be punished for the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Jews have also been historically accused of trying to take over the world, the banking systems, etc. Many false claims have been made against them. These are some of the reasons for the persecution. There was also the false "blood libel" accusation in the middle ages. This was a very harmful false allegation. You probably know more now than most people about the reasons for anti-Semitism. Blood libel | Anti-Semitism & Historical Context | Britannica Estimated Number of Jews Killed in the Final Solution The following map shows the routes that were used to ship them to the death camps. Deportations | Holocaust Encyclopedia One thing Canada could do, considering the increasing anti-Semitism in Canada, is have a national Holocaust remembrance day similar to the Canada's National Aboriginal Day. It doesn't have to be a statutory holiday. Just a recognized day. There should also be a carefully planned national education program in schools to teach kids what happened to Jews in the past 2,000 years.
  7. Most of the violence in the middle east is caused by terrorist organizations which are promoted and backed by Islamic extremists like Iran's governing party. They don't care much for the Palestinian people which should be obvious in Gaza. The Gaza people have paid a heavy price for the war caused by Hamas and other terrorist groups. The ordinary Palestinians are the ones that suffer the most for this. Hamas refuses now to sit down and negotiate a peace deal and refuses to release the last hostages. Most of the 250 hostages appear to have died in captivity. Most of the Palestinians are just being used as pawns by the Islamic extremists who seem to control Lebanon as well. Unless these Islamic extremists are removed from Israel (Gaza, West Bank) and Lebanon, the fighting and terrorist attacks will continue endlessly. Unfortunately, the Palestinian areas have brainwashed the young people to hate Israel from a young age. This guarantees an endless supply of terrorists. That is another issue that doesn't seem to have a solution. Talking about a two-state solution would not stop them. It is no solution.
  8. Alberta should really consider what they can do about this. The Trudeau government is giving Quebec and Ontario 33 billion dollars for battery plants while planning to impose emission caps on the energy industry which will mostly affect Alberta. "One independent study has placed the loss of investment in Alberta alone at $28 billion and the independent Conference Board of Canada estimates that over the next 25 years, the Liberals’ “green” regulations could lead to up to 150,000 job losses, mostly in Alberta." EVs are extremely expensive especially in the high cost of living environment we are in. Decimating the energy industry will further push up the price of gas. I am not sure confederation as it stands is really the best arrangement for the people of western Canada in this scenario. Should we in the west be thinking of a different arrangement? GUNTER: Federal emissions cap both uneconomic and unconstitutional
  9. How are all these endless promises to spend, spend, spend by Trudeau going to solve the housing crisis, high cost of food, failing health care system and dysfunctional justice system of catch and release? They are not going to solve them. Trudeau will just put Canadians further into debt which the young people will have to pay for.
  10. The contrast between America and Canada couldn't be greater. While Canadians suffer carbon taxes and now caps on the energy industry, America chose a leader who will fight against the radical U.N. war on climate change. He will also try to stop the illegal migrant disaster while Canadians suffer a crisis in health care, housing crisis, the cost of living crisis, and soft on crime justice system.
  11. That is dumb. The big unions dominate the public health care system. That is why they spend a lot of money campaigning for the NDP. They know if B.C. went to a mixed public private system, a lot of health workers would then be working for private health care and possibly not belong to their union. Right now they have a monopoly on the health care system and want to keep it that way. That is why they invest heavily in political campaign ads for the NDP. The unions are among the NDP's biggest supporters. That is well known. The big unions don't do that for nothing.
  12. quote The federal probe on Indigenous missing children and unmarked graves, the final report of which was released last Tuesday, does touch on the topic of residential schools. Mostly, though, it’s a 1,300-page tome that sets out arguments against the Canadian state. And because it’s so long and full of filler, few people will ever read the thing to appreciate its absurdity. Even the executive summary, at an undigestible length of nearly 300 pages, defeats its own purpose. Canadians, this $10.4-million essay project isn’t for you. It’s for governments and lawyers to use as support for future billion-dollar payouts and future arguments in court for more colonial concessions. The special interlocutor who authored this report, Kimberly Murray, never outright states that Canada has no right to exist. She instead talks around it by laying out various lines of logic supported by citations to decolonial scholars throughout hundreds of pages which, if taken together, seem to conclude that reconciliation will only be achieved when Canadian sovereignty is extinguished. It starts with Murray’s concept of nationhood: Canada, to her, seems to be a colonial blanket atop a bedrock of Indigenous fundamental rights. “Where Treaties were signed, Indigenous Nations agreed to share their lands with settlers, and where no Treaties exist, they have never ceded their sovereignty over their homelands. In either case, they have never relinquished their right of self-determination to the Canadian State.” It’s not true. For the Canadian state to exist as a sovereign country, it must hold that fundamental title to the land. That land was either settled upon, traded for (that some Indigenous groups in treaty negotiations didn’t have a concept of property rights in land, or only rudimentary ones, doesn’t make the trade illegitimate), or otherwise conquered. If Indigenous groups wanted to re-assert sovereignty, they could fight or trade; though, these are unattractive and costly. Murray’s own methodology presumes Canada’s illegitimacy: she takes an “anti-colonial” approach that recognizes the “inherent sovereignty of Indigenous Peoples.” Colonialism, she says, is a distinctly European phenomenon, a convenient categorization that saves her from the mess of excusing away the Chinese and Moroccan genera. Colony nations (those spawned from Europe, at least) only achieve sovereignty by “removing or undermining the sovereignty of Indigenous Peoples and replacing it with colonial claims to the lands and waters.” Jamie Sarkonak: The special interlocutor's plan for abolishing Canada (National Post)
  13. Yes, it would make everything easier and less expensive for everyone. Man cannot control the climate so why try to control it and harm the economy for everyone? Just try to mitigate the effects of changing climate. Prepare for forest fires and floods, which we should be doing anyway.
  14. I wouldn't accept anything the Conference Board of Canada says without knowing something about it. They don't reveal who supports or funds them. That should be red flag right there. There are reports that some European countries have good systems.
  15. Of course it is not going to be stated in legislation or stated publicly. It goes without saying. For you to ask shows you have no understanding of how the world works. Did you ever notice the repeated campaign ads run by the Hospital Employees union on television in the recent election. These ads were often quickly followed by an NDP ad. Both repeated the same lie that the Conservative would cut the health care funding by 4 billion dollars. Obviously the HEU is in bed with the BC NDP. Doesn't take a genius to see that.
  16. It does operate as a dictatorship in some ways. That should be obvious to anyone who thinks. People cast one vote in four years, but that leaves the winner do basically whatever he wants. He can choose almost anything and does. Also the election is often very dishonest with all kinds of lies and fake information broadcast. The masses of gullible people often vote for dishonest leaders which has been proven repeatedly. Very democratic.
  17. Guess you haven't noticed. There is no "same treatment" in the health care system. It is completely haphazard care with millions getting vastly different care than others. Nothing equitable about it. That's what your commie mentality got you. It a lottery type of care. Government is not doing what society wanted. Society was led to believe everyone would have good care, but millions are not getting it. Wake up and smell the coffee.
  18. " OTTAWA (Reuters) -Canada will on Monday unveil the details of its long-awaited plan to cap emissions of greenhouse gases from the oil and gas sector, an idea which the energy industry and some provinces strongly oppose. Canada said in December 2023 it wanted oil and gas companies to cut emissions up to 38% from 2019 levels by 2030 by introducing a cap-and-trade system, and would unveil its draft proposals before the end of 2024." Canada to unveil proposed emissions cap on oil and gas sector on Monday Many Canadians are struggling with the housing crisis and the cost of living. Imposing emission controls on the oil and gas sector, which is a major economic driver, will just add more to the cost of living for Canadians and make life more difficult. This government must go ASAP.
  19. The system is supposed to exist for the benefit of patients first. In Canada the system puts the unions and medical associations first. Ever thought of that?
  20. True in a very limited sense. It doesn't tell anywhere near the truth. Some governments are brutal dictatorships, some are democratic to varying degrees. Your statement shows your ignorance about how the world operates. ....get over it.
  21. It has shades of Marxism because in Canada the government controls the health care system and does not allow a true mix of public and private health care with private insurance. Government (Marxist type) knows what is best for you. We have an authoritarian type of government and and public health care system, which is failing us. The strange part is the public system delivers vastly different qualities of care depending on what is available in one's location and how fortunate one is. Some have a family doctor and many don't. Some might get fairly reasonable care while others might die on waiting lists or have no family doctor. The quality of care varies widely. There is no such thing as equal care for everyone.
  22. The truth, which you conveniently ignore, is the government still controls the health care system and doesn't allow private care to operate independently with private insurance. This government only control is unique among western nations as most allow some sort of mixture of public and private care. This is autocratic or totalitarian. In that sense it has shades of Marxist ideology. While not a pure Marxist system, it leans that way. Only government knows what's best (according to the left wing Socialist mentality). You like it because that is your mentality.
  23. Let me guess. The government still controls how the doctor runs his office or clinic and decides how much he is paid. The government together with the medical associations determines how much doctors make, how many doctors are trained and brought into the system. Everything is still basically controlled by the government. Is that Marxism or a form of Marxism? Government controls it.
  24. The NDP are largely influenced and controlled by the big unions. The unions are dead set against any kind of mixture of public and private health care because it threatens their union power over the system. Therefore the NDP will never agree to any kind of public/private system.
  25. You and yours were fortunate. I number of years ago I went into the ER with chest pains. The doctor forgot to give me a clot buster and I had a major heart attack that damaged my heart permanently and it only functions at a fraction of a normal heart now. My sister had a heart procedure recently that seriously damaged her heart. She was put on medications to eliminate infection and reduce fluid and was just sent home. She is on the medications and is extremely weak. She should never have been given a procedure where they had a serious accident and seriously damaged her heart. So much for the system that "is working fine from your perspective". Thousands have died on waiting lists and millions don't even have a family doctor. ERs are closing sometimes. Ya, great system.
