No the Constitution and Charter guarantee them. The Supreme Court decides whether they are being violated.

Nothing wrong with steam engines, if you burned hydrogen to heat the water they would produce no pollution or CO2 at all.

What does that have to do with swearing an oath? How would swearing an oath change anything? If they break their oath, what are you going to charge them with other than violating an existing law?

Which was a white anglo saxon identity. That ship has sailed.

The reality is burning coal produces over 30% more CO2 per BTU than any petroleum product and 80% more than natural gas.

My question stands. The Constitution and Charter exist to guarantee rights and freedoms.

What would swearing and oath of loyalty mean? To vote a certain way? To conform to a state approved dogma? We have laws against treason and other crimes against the state.

All trees and all forests are not equal. In Canada and other northern climes, deciduous trees are dormant in the winter and take no part in the carbon cycle, Coniferous tree growth rates slow dramatically so their contribution is limited. Same goes for the southern hemisphere. What about the 50% of the earths species which live in tropical forests, among other things a source of much of the medications used by modern medicine. It isn't a game of numbers, it's biology.

Between 2002 and 2020 the Earth lost 16% of its tree cover and over 6% of its forested area. Tropical forests account for only 7% of dry land but hold about 50% of all the species on earth. NASA

I'm talking about renewable resources, the ones that give us our breathable air and water suitable for drinking and agriculture. We are using them much faster than the earth is replacing them and as we do things like deforesting and destroying our carbon sinks, increasing CO2 levels and acidification of oceans we are further reducing the earth'a ability or reproduce them

The world can’t sustain China and and India with standards of living like ours. We are already consuming the earth’s renewable resources at a greater rate than the earth is replacing them. Studies indicate it would take five earths to produce the resources to give every human the same standard of living as the average American. At present it takes 18 months for the earth to replenish what we consume in a year.

Growth is slowing but it is still projected to reach 10 billion by 2057 and 10.8 billion by the end of this century. God knows what we will have done to the planet by then

Meanwhile we will continue to ship 10 million tons of US thermal coal per year from Vancouver because US ports won't take it.

I agree it depends on the age of the immigrants. Elderly immigrants just makes the age demographic worse.

It isn't a religion it's just arithmetic. If you aren't having enough babies to replace your existing population you become a nation of geezers.

It was a reasonable expectation by the British but very poorly executed. The Americans wanted a free hand expanding into territories where Britain had treaties with FN. The reason why FN sided with the British.

From what I understand, in many regiments the Sgt's mess was the best of the bunch in the British army. Officers coveted an invite to the Sgt's mess.

Britain and the US almost went to war over the San Juan Islands. Both had troops stationed on San Juan for years until the dispute was mediated by Germany in the 1870's. The British Indian Army was separate from the British army and composed of native Indian personnel. Relatively very few British regulars were based in India. Prior to the 1857 Mutiny, the Indian Army was the company army of the British East India Company. .During WW2 it became both the largest volunteer and largest mercenary army in history. The threat to India during the 19th century was the Russian Empire. Britain was still in the business of colonizing in Burma and Malaya at that time which was done primarily by Indian Army troops. Indian army troops were also used extensively in East Africa and provided the bulk of British forces in East Africa during WW1. One of the reasons for the American Revolution was Britain's insistence that Americans should start paying something toward their own defence.

The British had a naval base at Halifax until 1905 and its Pacific Squadron was based at Esquimalt until 1911. There was no refusal to defend Canada, there were just no regular troops based in Canada after the Fenian Raids and Red River Rebellion.

This is too big to be ignored or explained away by any government. Every rock will have to be overturned to get every answer possible. I suspect most of the people who oversaw this are now dead but they should still be named.

I think that all ended after the Micheals were taken. This company has been around since 2009 and there is no mention of when Chinese pilots were here. It is quite possible they were also here during some of the Harper years. This is a private company which has nothing to do with our armed forces. Any Joe Blow with a pilot licence can buy their services.

I find that article quite suspect. The company's website advertises as a test pilot school, there is no reference to combat training. Also, the idea of low level and air to air combat training anywhere near Toronto or London airspace is patently absurd.

Netanyahu needs a distraction from his legal problems.

Senior ranks shouldn't become involved with those junior to them, consensual or not.
