You ignored my point. There is a difference between hate crimes and terrorist attacks by jihadists. You still don't get it.

I get the impression from the way you worded that sentence that you think it is a common occurrence, which is far from the truth. The attack in Quebec City was not a common occurrence, thankfully. It happened, but it is false to make the statement that it is a common occurrence. That is a very rare occurrence. A terrorist attack against a Muslim by a non-Muslim is very rare in the world. The fact is thousands of people are being killed every week or month around the world by jihadists, many of whom are suicide bombers. Many of their victims are Muslims but christians and others are also being killed. Check the website religionofpeace dot com for the statistics.

Sorry, I don't understand your comment. Conservatives don't have to say anything about this; just stand back and watch the fiasco.

America under President Trump is becoming great again. Here I quote some of the achievements since President Trump was elected on November 8, 2016. Quote * The DOW daily closing stock market average rose more than 15% since the election on November 8th. (On November 9th the DOW closed at 18,332 – on March 1st the DOW closed at 21,115). * Since the Inauguration on January 20th the DOW rose 6.5%. (It was at 19,827 at January 20th and reached 21,115 on March 1st.) * The DOW took just 66 days to climb from 19,000 to above 21,000, the fastest 2,000 point run ever. The DOW closed above 19,000 for the first time on November 22nd and closed above 21,000 on March 1st. * The DOW closed above 20,000 on January 25th and the March 1st rally matched the fastest-ever 1,000 point increase in the DOW at 24 days. * The US Stock Market gained $2 trillion in wealth since Trump was elected! * The S&P 500 broke $20 Trillion for the first time in its history. * In the history of the DOW, going back to January 1901, the DOW record for most continuous closing high trading days was set in January of 1987 when Ronald Reagan was President. The DOW set closing highs an amazing 12 times in a row that month. On February 28th President Trump matched President Reagan when the DOW reached a new high for its 12th day in a row! President Trump decreased the US Debt in his first 100 days by $100 Billion. (President Obama increased the US debt in his first 100 days by more than $560 Billion.) The US Manufacturing Index soared to a 33 year high in this period which were the best numbers since 1983 under President Reagan. President Trump added 298,000 jobs in his first month alone (after President Obama said jobs were not coming back!). Housing sales are red-hot. In 2011, houses for sale were on the market an average 84 days. This year, it’s just 45 days. Illegal immigration is down 67% since President Trump’s Inauguration. NATO announced Allied spending is up $10 Billion because of President Trump. Unquote http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2017/04/draft-complete-list-of-president-trumps-accomplishments-in-his-first-100-days/ America is finally making a comeback. If you want to measure how well the U.S. is doing by how much progress the LGBTQ is making or whether there are transgender washrooms being approved, or how many illegals are getting jobs in the pineapple plantations, or whether pot legalization has increased, OK! maybe it's not doing that well. America still has a long way to go, but Trump has been in for barely over five or six months. He is just starting and the stock market has really improved, showing the economy is humming along.

I don't think Trump has tried to do anything sinister with Russians. Perhaps because of his inexperience in politics and government, he does not follow the required protocols. I don't think democrats will succeed in claiming a conspiracy exists.

You're making a lot of assumptions!

I would agree Canada is in serious trouble as a result of liberalism, multi-culturalism gone wonky, and generally the left wing which wants to destroy our Judeo-christian heritage. Just saw the other day that a couple didn't have their baby's gender put on the birth certificate. Some people apparently want children to decide themselves what gender they wish to be. Bizarre.

Actually I understand a Zionist is just a person who believes in the return of the Jews to the land of Israel and the re-establishment of the State of Israel, which happened in 1948. The claim that they have plans to take over the world was a phony story propagated by a writing in the 1800s called the Protocols of the Elders of Zion I think. That story has been debunked as anti-Semitism and is false.

You are correct. It is a very difficult problem to deal with. I don't think Scheer will be anything like a Trump. I don't hold out any hope he will do anything about the HRCs. Ezra Levant on The Rebel Media is probably the best hope to do anything. He was recently fined $80,000 by an HRC and has had a lot of dealings with them. That is an incredible fine. Other than that, I am not sure what can be done.

This is appalling. I would suggest anyone who is concerned about what the HRCs are doing consider joining the Conservative Party and lobbying to them to get rid of the HRCs. starting with the Federal one. If people have something they can lay a charge and follow the normal justice system. The HRCs don't follow the normal justice system. Go to conservative.ca and sign up and write to some MPs and Andrew Scheer about this. If we don't fight this, things are just going to get worse.

What does this have to do with the topic? Just your usual copy and paste anti U.S., anti west tirade. You must have been indoctrinated with this somewhere. Your modus operandi has long been known. You always repeat the same old thing but never accept anything anyone says.

No. It's not always about assimilation. It's far more complicated than that. I just looked up the definition in the Oxford and assimilation is the absorption of a minority culture for example into the culture of the majority. Missionaries did not and do not today see themselves as simply trying to assimilate people into a majority culture simply because there might be no other culture in existence in the places they go to. Radio and television evangelists for example are broadcasting on the air constantly and not trying to assimilate anyone into a dominant culture. Canada was different after the Europeans settled here and the population grew. When the Canadian government brought in residential schools, their policy was assimilation. They wanted to assimilate natives into the dominant culture of the country. They gave the task to several church denominations to do it through the residential schools. At the same time, the schools taught religion from the perspective of their own denomination. I would guess the denominations saw this as a missionary work. So assimilation and missionary efforts were combined in the residential school system. Denominations also built churches in various communities including villages which were mainly native peoples. However, missionaries who travel to foreign countries in the past, such as Africa, were more likely doing strictly missionary work. There was no dominant culture in those places to assimilate the natives into. But they were taking the message of the gospel to what was considered as heathen peoples, who may have had their own tribal culture and religion with witch doctors and alien practices, alien to European and what was considered as civilized thinking. So in those places, I think the only purpose of missionaries was to convert the natives to the christian religion. If you look back in history to the middle east and central Asia, when Islam spread through that part of the world, they of course were trying to convert the populations to Islam and were successful to a large extent. I am just reading a history of the world now which covers a lot of that. I hope that makes sense.

We are on a forum. Nobody needs your permission to speak. .You speak on here only for yourself.

Speak for yourself and I will speak for my self. OK? You can make rules for yourself, but not for everyone else.

Nobody is shoving anything down anyone's throat or forcing anyone to believe anything. One would have to be God to have that power. I'm not sure why anybody would get bent out of shape by someone else's comments. Reading is strictly voluntary. Take it or leave it.

I believe anthropologists say North American aboriginals came across the Bering Sea from Siberia or Mongolia. I believe they have verified the connection with DNA testing.

A lot of religious people sacrificed much of their lives to try to give young people an education in religious schools, probably without much compensation. Freedom of religion is a long-established historical part of our Constitution and society. I doubt that will change anytime soon. I would say the real threat to society is secular humanism which is anti-family and anti a lot of things and pro marijuana for example, none of which is good for society. If you want to see how atheism and humanism has damaged society, just look at the former Soviet Union and Russia. They have a huge crime problem and society is a mess. Plus they are ruled by a totalitarian dictator. Western European society is going down too. Many churches in England have been closed or are being turned into mosques. Look at the problems they have now. Actually it was the communist atheists in the former Soviet Union and China that murdered hundreds of millions of people and trampled on everyone's basic freedoms. Many good missionaries have laboured and spent their lives in the darkest backward places in Africa and other places to help those people. Christians have contributed greatly down through the centuries by supporting a civilized society with education, laws and good government because those are things they strongly believe in. I'm not saying there were not problems with respect to residential schools. Government had a policy of assimilation which turned out to be a disaster. Some former residential school students will tell you there were some good things that came out of it and they did learn something. in spite of the negatives for many of them. There were many positive things christianity has brought to the world in the last 2000 years..

The woman in question asked for a white doctor. The request was denied because the patient is not treated with dignity or respect but is just another number to be processed. The liberal media love this kind of thing where they can put the spotlight on anyone or anything that might be interpreted as racism or bigotry.

No. Patients have rights and should be treated with dignity. They are not there for the benefit of doctors or staff. People should be treated with respect in spite of their idiosyncrasies.

Yes, for sure. How about you?

She was not acting politically correct.

If you know a particular doctor in the clinic is gay, is it racist to bigoted to request a different doctor if there are more than one?

Never said she was. Maybe she was. Does she have to tell her history?

I went to a specialist 25 years ago, who happened to be a black doctor from Africa who was very difficult to understand. He treated me like s__t and it was the worst experience I ever had with a doctor in my life. I never went back to him and chose to drive 400 km and stay overnight in another city to see another specialist instead after that. I don't think the problem had anything to do with his skin colour, but it was his incredibly shocking attitude. Nobody deserves to be treated like that by a doctor.

According to bible experts the earth was created about six thousand years ago. So where were the aboriginals 14,000 years ago? Native rights activists will cling to the 14,000 year story because it means they have far greater claim to the land than relative newcomers whose ancestors came here a few hundred years ago at most.
