The Canadian government has a duty to protect its citizens from arbitrary and extreme punishment.
With what exactly?
15 minutes ago, Zeitgeist said:America would do the same thing
Umm we do, you don't hear people executing Americans for a reason. It's too costly for a country to do that, they'd bear the full might of American hegemony, look at what happened to North Korea, Venezuela, Iran, Russia. We can sanction the hell out of any one country. Is it worth it to execute American prisoners? Clearly no. I highly doubt there wasn't an American who tried to do exactly what this Canadian did in other places around the world.
And this isn't out of some misguided good will from the politician, its just if our media get wind of it, there will be hell to pay for anyone party that doesn't recover an American back.

Yup Obama and fellow globalist thought that by opening up china through trade they would become more liberally democratic.

If China respects rule of law it would release the Canadians.
HA! they bully their neighbors, what makes you think they will respect the rule of law?

Umm, America is democracy. Fact is, if America does not exist, there'd be no democracy.

To what end? its not like Canada was willing to make concession over spilled milk (hint hint).
40 minutes ago, Zeitgeist said:Events unfolding internationally prove that democracy, freedom, rule of law, and human rights are under threat. Everyone pays the price
Half true. Only weaker countries that have been relying on American hegemony whilst criticizing us as world police will suffer.
Now you get to see the true value of what it meant to be in America's umbrella and a taste of what China's will be.
It is because of American hegemony weaker countries even get to exist. Think about that. Otherwise they would have just become vassal states to China as has happened to bordering countries surrounding China and Russia.
China's goal is to make everyone part of their tributary state as has been during the Ming dynasty.

Looks like Canada is falling out with the communist regime. Question is when is Truedua going to ask big bro trump for help?
Lets not kid ourselves, there are huge perks to being an American. One of them usually involve other countries not executing you.
"It is of extreme concern to us as a government, as it should be to all our international friends and allies, that China has chosen to begin to arbitrarily apply the death penalty in cases facing, as in this case, facing a Canadian," Trudeau said in a news conference following Monday's ruling.

So some interesting theory I've read. Women like men who are successful in their dominance hierarchy with other men. Essentially ladies prefer competant men who are at the top of that social hierarchy. Outsourcing the selection problem to men. They allow men to compete with one another and pick the top agreed upon by other men. Indirectly men get to pick who among them get the girl.
The opposite is also true women do not like girly men, men who are pushovers, lacking confidence and self esteem, they view them as friends but not mates.
Obviously all other factor removed men are visual creatures and as far as mating is concern we need child bearing age women.
Companion ship is a different story.

May be right about the avionics with direct access, but you can now see how vulnerable the F-35 really is.
How confident are you now with regards to the safety/security of the F-35?
Pretty confident actually. What you're talking about is electronic warfare. And also that article is philosophical not using real evidence to back its claim.
While it is true that the russian or chinese may eventually identify some vulnerabilities, who is to say we don't have counter measure?

Is data security even possible?
Yes, don't plug it to the internet. It is it really that simple. The avionics for the F22 and F35 are not store in computers that have internet access.

Free speech is critically important to both Canadians and Americans, but don’t ever bring your insane 2nd Amendment to Canada. It’s destroying America.
Let me explain, the 2nd amendment is not the third or fourth amendment for a reason. Its not about deer hunting or ghost guns. Its about the protection from tyranny. It is no accident the 2nd amendment comes second to free speech. The founders felt that the protection from tyrrany was important enough to enshrine it in the constitution as the very first and second founding principle. They were meant to complement each other. Barking without fangs is meaningless

Are you really Canadian? I guess you don’t enjoy those transfer payments to your province. You think that the wealthier states will transfer money to you? Ask Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi...The US doesn’t have equalization. What about unemployment insurance for seasonal workers?
Seems like plenty of Canadian wanting to join beds with america like you have done buying property here... about time you consider becoming American.

I know. I was being a brat to give you and BC something to get up and arms about when you’re not eating kittens. The space adventures are exciting and it would be an achievement to go to Mars, but is it worth the expense? I’m not sure anymore.
I'm fully aware of the superior rocket engine the Russians had back in the 80s and early 2000s. The soviet RD-170 design is more efficient than the Saturn V that put Armstrong on the moon.
Robert Ballard is a big critic of space exploration, says the money used could be used to explore the seas and find ways of living on/under the sea.

If you're talking about the literal sacrifice of Jesus it is symbolic of sacrificing something now for the future. It's a story that was meant to teach us to value the future and not give into fleeting impulses of the present.
I'm not sure what your angle is but as an Atheist my criticism of other atheist is that they view the bible and religion too harshly, they need to view it as a source of ancient wisdom meant to convey an idea. Those idea while subject to interpretation and often times for malignant purposes still contain within them the collective knowledge of your ancestors. Religion therefore should be view as a moral compass, leading one to live a life towards meaning instead of nihilism that so many atheist and unlearned/non-believers find themselves in. You can't dispense with thousands of years of ancient wisdom written by our ancestor and expect society to function. Those wisdom are borne out of a chaotic past and often paid for in blood.

I’m merely commenting on actions by the current US administration that have demonstrated the US’s further retreat. Oh well. Maybe the world is better off with multi-polar and UN guidance than current belligerent US leadership. Americans will watch their influence shrink like Britain watched her empire decline. Probably doesn’t matter for Canada. Meanwhile China lands a spacecraft on the dark side of the Moon...
um we did that over 40 years ago... Everyone is just playing catch up.

They do not need planes to fly into buildings to further their goal. And USA Special Ops are a joke. It took them years to locate Bin Laden and taken him out when they had multiple chances before. And when they did hit the Bin Laden compound in Pakistan, the USA had to sacrifice one of their new hi-tech helicopters because they damaged it during landing.
You can blame obama and bill clinton for that. They knew where he was they just didn't want to pull the trigger. Do you know how much it cost to train one seal team? Also who are you comparing our spec ops to? They are the best in the world by a wide margin. The helicopter was lost due to un planned for physical phenomenon call vortex ring state caused by tall walls and high temperature.

Just curious. Did you declare your gun at the Canadian border? How did you manage to get thru with that gun and were able to take that gun with you to Vancouver? I believe that the border guards ask all Americans at the border as to whether they are carrying or not. I am not completely sure as to whether Americans can bring guns into Canada. Just wondering.
Simple, just act like a typical american tourist. Just told them where you are going and what you are doing. Legally you have to declare them and obtain a permit for the "restricted" class of guns, most handguns and semi auto rifles etc...
But really its out of necessity to bring my gun, didn't have anywhere else to store it. I will concede that guns are not needed in canada for the purpose of self defense at least. Everyone was polite by american standards.

I’d like to see our governments create more opportunities for the citizens of both countries through a kind of loose union, but we also want to keep our border and keep out your guns.
Um, I brought my gun with me to Canada, downtown vancouver... was pretty easy. Your border and gun law means nothing. Also why are you all so afraid of guns. People who live in the less populated area have to protect themselves from bears you know.

The cornerstone of Christianity is human sacrifice. Is Christianity a moral creed?
Well the theme of human sacrifice isn't new, every ancient culture had it. I would say it was borne out of necessity. If you're to survive the winter best a child or elderly get sacrificed to save the rest of the family. One less mouth to feed. Again you have to view the bible with some historical context, it's almost 2000 years old. It was a different time back them.

You got more war anyways. But the whole war on terror has been a mistake for USA and the world.
You say that but I don't see any more 747 flying into skyscraper... most of the terrorism we get is home grown now. Europe on the other hand, is the direct result of letting massive influx of vetted immigrant from the middle east into their liberal western democracy. Also anyone who kill or kidnap American citizens usually gets hunted down by our special ops unit. As long as there are people who want to chant death to america then I see no problem helping them meet their god sooner.

1. Bullshit. You can't encourage people to become gay.
2. No, you can't. We follow the Civil Rights precedents set in the US, legally, for this. Business operating in the public realm can't discriminate against groups.
3. You just said it's nasty, which is your right. People will react to your statement, just as you react to two men kissing, and say that your statement is nasty. Freedom of expression. This one will come down to whoever yells loudest, I'm afraid.
1) you sure about that? The problem with gay men is their tendency towards promiscuity which in a typical hetero-sexual relation is curbed. This is the traditional role for women, they help young men become men. https://www.pride.com/sex/2018/5/15/13-things-i-learned-while-attending-my-first-gay-orgy#media-gallery-media-0
2) uh supreme court of the us says otherwise...

I think it would ease a lot of tensions if the two countries were a bit freer with each other. Treat each other more like we are different states within the same country without trouncing on local laws and jurisdictions. Let the US be itself and let Canada be itself, but allow complete freedom of work and residence between the two countries. Obey local, provincial/state, and federal laws. Pay taxes as a local would. It doesn't have to impact domestic policy one bit. We can even leave defense, health, and other differences out of it. When in America live as an American. When in Canada live as a Canadian. If you want access to health care, voting, and other rights of a citizen, either become a citizen or attach those privileges to a minimum residency requirement, say two years. That's how it works in the EU. We wouldn't have to deal with any of the EU nonsense of transfer payments to other countries or a new federal government for a new union. That's what the Brits resented. I think it would strengthen both countries and give the citizens of both countries more opportunities. I don't see it happening under the current governments. There's too much distrust and not enough vision. I think it could've happened under Reagan and Mulroney or Clinton and Chretien, but Trump and Trudeau? We're dealing with nonsense like steel and aluminum tariffs...
Well at least you've admitted the cultural difference between the US and Canada is nil (excluding Quebec).
Look, politically we don't want another California. That is why I propose Alberta getting twice the electoral college votes as the rest of Canada.
With climate change on the rise Canada will have more habitable land that can accommodate the rest of America. You've don't want an influx of third world migrants who don't share any of your cultural similarities so you might as well take us.
The prospect of asking Canada to choose between a Somalian pirate or gun toting Texan would be amusing.

Look, its not about "hating" on gays and depriving them of their human rights. Its about not encouraging it as far is government and culture is concern. About time snowflakes learn the nuanced difference.
Also when the government force it down our throat it grind my gear. If I want to object to baking a cake for a gay couple on religious ground then that is within my "god-given" rights. Fact is, it is a private business, I can refuse service to ANYONE.
On a cultural note, there is nothing wrong with thinking two man kissing as disgusting. If you think that it is "normal" then that's your opinion just don't try to force the rest of us to thinking that it isn't nasty. You're entitled to your own opinion as are the rest of us.

As I recall, the Japanese company Suzuki was the first to produce SUVs.
-------------------------------------------------- ------
Americans believe that they were the first, but this is not true ...
(Americans believe propaganda and do not know the history)
In fact, the first American SUV Jeep has a "carrying body" ...
If you talk to people who are addicted to "off-road races," you will learn that a real SUV should have a "carrier frame."
This SUV was first created in Japan on the basis of American trucks.
The second such SUV was created in the USSR
-------------------------------------------------- -----
By the way, Americans still do not know how to make SUVs "carrier frame" ... Very funny.
They only do trucks and pickups.Actually certain model T could be considered suv

Thus if you call for less immigration (immigration being an unvarnished good in every way, shape and form) then your motive must be (no matter what you say) that you want fewer visible minorities. Therefore, you are, of course, a racist
This is the great lie mainstream academic and media globalist been telling you. Post industrial nation need more people yes but that can be achieve through child birth as well as immigration. It is not racist to call out certain cultural practices as incompatible with western democracies. Ie female genital mutilation, sharia law, etc... there are certain western societal norm that must be upheld , most of which are written on the bill of rights and constitution.
