Even if there are graves that's a meaningless accusation. They're in the middle of nowhere. Of course, they had a graveyard. Lots of people died of various communicable diseases back then. What else were they supposed to do other than bury them? And they tended to use wooden crosses as there were no stonemasons around to cut headstones.

Why do you assume OUR culture and values are more important than THEIR culture and values. Even in THEIR country!? you want us to impose our own cultural values on them there?! What kind of an arrogant, Western-centric, colonial, white supremacist mentality is that, boy?!

Well, it should make you happy to learn that he says he was misquoted. We're not willing to take in 5,000 Palestinians, after all. It's 5,000 Palestinian families. https://x.com/WeAreCanProud/status/1795509088262246773

You have some intersting ideas of equality there. But then again, you don't believe in equality. You believe in equity. So I suppose under equity a black hairdresser who loved Canada so much she emigrated IS more important than a white man who put this country together, persuaded the British to grant it independence, and then built the national railroad to tie it together.

Probably. But there are 50 Muslim-majority countries across the world and NONE are remotely like that. So I rather doubt it.

You keep asking that like it might prove something. And the irony is you don't even seem to realize that you posed that question in response to the question of why Arab states won't take these people in. We didn't take them in because the country was very antisemitic back then, which you and everyone else knows. Are you saying the Arab states around them are Islamophobic?

An ECONOMIC problem, not a crime or terrorism problem.

We don't know how many illegals we have since the government never bothered to count or check whether people left after their tourist or student or work visas expired or after they were turned down for refugee status. But the number is set to explode because we've now got so many 'temporary' foreigners here, none of them really vetted at all. And now, with the government talking about granting everyone who is here illegally citizenship, it's unlikely ANY of them will leave. Why should they? We have almost no ability to even find, let alone deport them. Previous governments devoted so much effort to the walls because they understood that, once someone crosses the border, the tools for compelling their departure are limited. That includes foreign students and temporary workers no longer eligible to live and work here, refugee claimants adjudged to be not genuine refugees, and even tourists who decided to never go home. https://archive.is/fUt78

We have no ability to do that. We don't even know how many illegals we have, and the government is not only not going to try to find and deport them but now seems inclined to simply throw up their hands and give everyone here citizenship, regardless of how they got here.

Uh, because they don't like Muslims?

I think we've seen plenty of polls on the views of ME Muslims, not to mention Muslims who have immigrated to places like the US, UK and Europe. Canada, of course, doesn't like to ask rude questions. Anyway, we know these people are going to have values incompatible with ours because we know what their values are.

Nope. Because they're Muslim. If they were Arab Christians we could work with that. I wasn't talking to you. I was responding to your post. You already said you put me on ignore so why are you reading my posts? No. I want neither terrorist supporters nor Nazis here.

The point is to let the nurses know he's off his meds again.

More reinforcements for the demonstrations and occupations. More Islamists to chant "Death to Canada" on our streets. This is the kind of school system they go through under Hamas. LOL. As if a bunch of rabid Jew haters from an Islamist hellhole are the same as Ukrainian Christians. You can sure tell you're a progressive fool on multiculturalism and immigration.

They decided it was better to honor a black hairdresser who once sat down in the wrong section of a theater in Nova Scotia and got fined a dollar or something for sitting in the 'white' section. There are no memorable quotes from her and she didn't really do anything of note. People wanted her to appeal to the Supreme Court but she said 'nah' and went home and then a couple of years later packed up and moved to New York to set up a beauty parlor there. Did I mention she was black? Did I mention the pronoun was 'she'? Not that I'm suggesting this was tokenism or paternalism, or a pat on the head to the black community and the rabid, frothing-at-the-mouth partisans of the Left. Even though it is, of course. Oh, go back to France.

How about Sir John A MacDonald, the man who put this country together?

As I understand it, the prosecutor who wants to charge Netenyahu with war crimes has exceeded his and the court's authority. First, because Israel is not a signator to the convention and not a member of the ICC. Second, because the court's jurisdiction is only supposed to be against those who don't live in jurisdictions where crimes can be brought before an independent court. Which Israel has. If Khan actually wants to pursue brutal crimes against civilians he should try doing it at home in the Kashmir against his own government.

Moronic idea. The first thing such a parliament would do would be to vote in a 98% tax rate for any income over about $10,000 a year to drain the West of money in order to funnel it into the third world. That's where the votes are, after all.

And they've been in charge of the school system for 18 years and raised a whole generation of fanatics. And polls taken both before and since Oct 7 show they would win in both Gaza and the West Bank.

The demonstrations are not anti Jewish or pro terrorist! Except when they are, of course. https://x.com/DahliaKurtz/status/1794705896238387406?t=n04P8skWldwFA2gI0O90pQ&s=09

And Hamas would be elected again.

I'll grant that 'priority' is the wrong term to use. But come on. There are tens of thousands of people working at the BoC. Among them is the group that attends to things like currency changes. It should be something done in a timely fashion. But to think that has any real importance you would have to put a degree of importance on the preservation of our cultural links with our past and the whole royal panoply and pageantry that used to be part of what united us. A country that doesn't know or care about its past won't have a future.

First, I'm complaining that the government doesn't think it's a priority, which, as I've said, filters down fairly quickly to the bureaucracy. Second, I was complaining about the absurd level of bureaucratic inertia in the public service which thinks four years to do a simple task is appropriate.

LIke all public servants, he is a servant of the government. His priorities are whatever the government says they are. If he doesn't understand that, he shouldn't be a public servant.

And if that man can't see to a simple task like this he's unfit for any job of substance. It's his responsibility to carry out his orders. If he can't or won't he doesn't belong in that job.
