LOL - yeah that sounds about right. Like i said i noticed a bunch of times he was going after someone (can't remember who) and it's that same sort of gibberish. He gets drunk, he picks a fight with someone he considers to be a "good customer" and it's on.

To be honest - the nimbys are not our problem when it comes to housing. There might be a little here and there but it's not a primary factor. The biggest challenge is that the way our financial systems are set up and the way all levels of gov'ts approach the issue, everything makes it so that it is NOT in the developer's interest or capacity at all to build to the current needs. It always lags by at least 3 years or so - so what we're fiinshing today is the housing we needed to have 2-3 years ago - and with increasing immigration that's making the problem much more severe. When you throw in things like interest rates driving developers away from the market for short periods which means even less housing - we're headed for even worse. And make no mistake - what that means is that even if we slow down immigration, the way things are the market will adapt and still build too few homes. It's complex - it's no one thing or any one level of gov't but it's not like the fixes aren't fairly easy to see. The biggest problem tho is that even if we fixed the problem tomorrow we would not only have to seriously increase production to meet demand - we would have to increase beyond that to catch up for lost ground. And even with a substantial increase above our needs it would be a decade or more before we caught back up, although at least things would get better as we went.

amusingly enough BC, with it's ndp gov't, actually does have a law that allows for manditory incarceration of chronic drug abusers or the mentally ill. The standard is fairly high but it's definitely there. If we added one for violent offenders and used them more i think we'd get farther. RIght now they know that if they'll act out they'll get 3 hots and a cot for their trouble and a pocket full of pills they can sell to buy the good stuff. If they knew they'd get locked up in treatment they might be a little more motivated to try something else.

Burke invited the first group of members to the C3RF Facebook page (including one of the group’s current administrators) and one of her posts indicates she held a leadership or advisory role while she was working on Scheer’s leadership campaign. In March, the group was preparing a press release to distribute to MPs. “We need to select a media contact,” writes Burke. “Not me. One person who is familiar with working with the media and can manage the press kit and media materials.” “Some of us reached out to Georganne in the beginning, around spring time, because of her experience,” said Irving Weisdorf, an organizer with C3RF who has been involved since its inception. He’s also the founder of the pro-Israel advocacy organization Mozuud, which has partnered with C3RF on occasion. Burke is Senior Vice President of the Pathway Group, which is in the business of government relations and providing services for political campaigns, and she has over 10 years of experience as a political operative for the Conservative Party of Canada. She’s a big fan of Donald Trump, according to social media posts and an October 2016 interview with CBC. “This is what Georganne does you know, and we wanted her advice on how motions work,” Weisdorf noted. Burke’s involvement with C3RF eventually tapered off due to her commitment to the Scheer leadership campaign, he said. Burke says she “[has] not been involved with C3RF since a couple of weeks after they formed.” She continues to post in the group, but says that “commenting is not involvement,” and declined to comment further. ANTI-ISLAM INDUSTRY Burke was also a member of several extreme anti-Muslim groups on Facebook, but says she was only in those groups for information purposes. Burke left at least two of these groups following a story by Anti-Racist Canada which named her as a member of groups like the Worldwide Coalition Against Islam, a group which critics say is anti-Muslim and anti-Semitic. Burke hasn’t posted any explicitly anti-Muslim comments on the C3RF Facebook Page, according to a search of posts in the group. Scheer has tried to distance himself from the alt-right Rebel Media, and says his party is welcoming to Muslims. The anti-Islam organization co-founded by Burke, however, is connected to the American Islamophobia industry, and anti-Islam figures in Canada. The anti-Islam industry in the United States and Canada is comprised of dozens of individual pundits, think tanks, and media outlets that host events together and amplify each other’s voices. Some organizations are more careful in their criticism of Islam than others, but they tend to view Islam and the Muslim community as a monolithic entity with a dangerous anti-Western agenda. On September 10, C3RF held an anti-M103 conference in Toronto which brought together a number of speakers and organizations from the anti-Islam industry. C3RF has worked with ACT! For Canada (the Canadian branch of ACT! For America) and the Washington DC-based Center for Security Policy, both of which are part of the Islamophobia industry in the United States, according Fear, Inc., a report published by the Center for American Progress. According to the report, the Center for Security Policy is a “key source of information for the Islamophobia network.” Clare Lopez, CSP’s VP for Research and Analysis, was the keynote speaker at C3RF’s conference, which ACT! For Canada was also a co-partner for, along with conservative think-tank The Mackenzie Institute and the pro-Israel Hasbara Fellowships. ACT! For Canada has shared articles in support of PEGIDA – an anti-Muslim group in Europe with a Canadian chapter – and frequently links to Robert Spencer and his website, Jihad Watch. Dr. Gad Saad, another C3RF speaker at the September conference, has also hosted Spencer on his Youtube channel. The Southern Poverty Law Centre describes Spencer as an “anti-Muslim propagandist.” Several members of the C3RF Facebook Page are also members of anti-Muslim groups on Facebook, including the Storm Alliance, an offshoot of the Soldiers of Odin, Blood and Honour, a violent neo-Nazi group, and the III%ers, an armed militia group. C3RF’s Facebook group promoted the September 30 day of action organized by the Storm Alliance and other far right groups to protest the Liberal Party’s immigration policies. Moreover, the C3RF Calgary Satellite Coordinator is Stephen Garvey, President of the National Advancement Party (NAP) and member of the Worldwide Coalition Against Islam, a white supremacist group. The Jewish Defence League, which has acted as security for several anti-Muslim demonstrations, also provided security for C3RF’s September 10 conference. ‘AGGRESSIVE AND INTOLERANT’ Speakers at the event characterized M-103 as a threat to free speech supported by Muslim extremists whose ultimate goal is to criminalize criticism of Islam. “The increase in political Islam we’re seeing all across the world is perhaps the biggest threat to Canada,” said Anthony Furey, a Toronto Sun columnist who spoke at the conference. Furey says that the committee hearings on Systemic Racism and Religious Discrimination sparked by M103 can “lead to recommendations” that might suggest outlawing criticisms of Islam. Mississauga-Erin Mills MP Iqra Khalid tabled private member’s motion M-103 calling on the federal government to eliminate “Islamophobia and all forms of systemic racism and religious discrimination” in December. The controversial motion has triggered opposition from across the country from people who say it could threaten free speech or usher in shariah law in Canada. Another Toronto Sun columnist, Sue-Ann Levy, took it one step further by suggesting that liberal centrists and Islamist extremists have a broad overlap in interest. “I got in trouble for saying that Barack Obama has ties to radical Islamic ideology,” she said. “There’s no question in my mind that he does, and I also think that he’s a Muslim.” Speakers such as Benjamin Dichter, founder of LGBTory, also suggested that an overly liberal and politically correct culture is helping to open the door for radical Islamists to take over Canadian society. “Some Western liberal leaders are stopping people from asking a very important question,” said Dichter, “the question of whether a more Islamic Canada will become more tolerant, or more aggressive and intolerant of anything other than itself?” Talking points shared by C3RF, its speakers and partner organizations are almost identical to the positions of extreme anti-Muslim groups and the so-called alt-right. They broadly warn of an unspecified mass of Muslims in the West who want Sharia law and an “Islamic theocracy.” “The principles and freedoms that undergird both constitutions in the United States and in Canada are Judeo-Christian based,” said keynote speaker Clare Lopez. “Islam doesn’t have such freedoms, such as the freedom of speech; it has the ‘law of slander,’ which it defines as anything that a Muslim dislikes.” The C3RF’s brochure warns of Muslims who “want to implement at least some aspects of Sharia law,” and who are either using or partnering with Iqra Khalid to implement the “normalization of Sharia law as a respectable form of multicultural expression.” They’re also broadly critical of Canada’s immigration and refugee policies. In their minds, Islam and the West are in conflict, both abroad and here in Canada, and they are fighting for Western, Judeo-Christian values. One of C3RF’s partner organizations, ACT! For Canada, was recently denied space at an Ottawa library to host a screening of Killing Europe, an Islamophobic video. The video screening went ahead last Sunday, hosted by the Jewish Defense League at the Toronto Zionist Centre. Burke had also planned a “Rally to Turn Khadr Settlement Over To Speer and Morris Families” in late July, which was cancelled after it was reported that over half the people who RSVPd on Facebook were connected with anti-Muslim groups and pages. https://www.vice.com/en/article/qvzznq/conservative-party-leadership-advisor-helped-create-anti-islam-organization Did you think that doubling down on lying about what you said would make it better? Are you admitting what you said was a lie then? Conservatives have NEVER said muslims are uncanadian have they. and you'd like to talk about something else? The CPC has a HUGE number of muslims and sikhs in its ranks. Sorry kiddo - but posting opinion pieces from partisan mags changes nothing.

Well if you're black and you do then you're not 'black enough' . Apparently.

And where is that language? In fact - if it was specifically referring to rifles of the day, you'd expect they'd explicitly say "muzzleloaders" or 'flintlock' fireaerms or the like. It doesn't. It says "arms". Not even FIRE arms. So if they ever do come up with a phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range (looking at you terminator ) then that would apply too. The founding fathers didn't use language haphazardly. It doesn't just mean guns for that matter, although certainly that's what it's taken to be used for today. You can't just invent meanings that you like and inject them. The wording is clearly NOT specific to rifles of the day.

Thanks - but i've already got my popcorn

Ignoring him seems to just make it worse. Seems to encourage him if i don't. Then it's two days of him posting relentlessly on every thread, sometimes three. Trying to reason with him politely had him swearing about jews up and down the board. I don't care that he's a drunk either. But it is what it is and drunks don't always behave in a rational manner. Ignoring him taunts him - he's not happy if he doesn't get the attention. Usually i amuse myself and keep him busy for one night and that's the end of it, he sleeps it off and presumably reads what he wrote, gets a little embarrassed, and i go back to ignoring hin for a month or so till he saves up enough for another big bottle. if you've got a problem with his behavior take it up with him. I never talk to him, it's never been in response to anything i do.

You mean by getting drunk and randomly going after people for no reason whatsoever while badmouthing jews and gays? I'm still watching you to learn from the master

You mean being a drunk? well... good i suppose..

Sooo - guys who post less than you are even better? It's an !diotic thing to say. it's the kind of complaint someone who has nothing intelligent to complain about would go to. Oh you mean like where i comment on the topic being discussed ? yeah - EVERYONE does that. That's how a forum works - but YOU follow me around and just jump in with an attack trying desperately to make yourself feel better and it has nothing to do with what's being discussed. Which is precisely what happened here You get so bent out of shape that you looked bad that you stew about it and try desperately to "win" somewhere else and it usually comes down to "you post more than me" and "You type more than me" - both of which are children's arguments. You're a hypocrite - and you 'lose' those discussions so regularly because you're focused on saying no everytime i say yes instead of thinking it through. So it's EASY to outthink you - you're not bothering to think. And sorry kiddo - none of that is my fault

LOLOL - you were the one we're talking about It is what it is kiddo I notied you deleted some anti gay and anti trans stuff last night and you're kinda going with the whole 'might be gay' thing - thanks for at least giving the jews a break but you're going to feel just as stupid ranting about gays and trans later. Maybe you should put a cork in that bottle soon'? Oh christ - he forgot he replied to that comment already like 5 minutes earlier LOL - well there you go. Well you have fun in prison there big guy And i think you lose no matter what i do. Do you think anyone reading your posts thinks better of you today? You sure as hell aren't scaring anyone LOLOL

Meh. So - you know Contrarian is an Alcoholic. That's not a joke or a slight, that's just the truth, he admits it and it's no surprise. So about once a month (usually a weekend) he falls right off the wagon and out of the blue for no reason he'll attack me. I think he finds me a little intimidating and when he gets liquored up he just goes for someone he thinks is a 'big dog' and yaps his head off. I noticed he did this with other people when i got here. Weird drunken rants about how he was going to get them in the real world etc, with the same person (was it nationalist?) Then he just started with me. There's no stopping this. I forgave him and said so to him the first time and he agreed it woudn't happen - then i ignored it the next two times and that just seems to egg him on. About all you can do is sit back and wait till he gets sober again. And have a little fun making fun of him as you wait. It's just who he is, i doubt he can help it, if i wsn't around it'd be with someone else. He's a mean drunk Just make peace with it. I have.

You seen me two minuets ago did you Well the difference is i usually only pick fights with people who pick fights with me. You just get drunk and go after me without so much as a single word - i haven't said a thing to you and didn't the first time OR the second time OR the thrird time OR the fourth. ANd i've seen you insult other people sober plenty. So the answer is "you". You're the worst. You're a bully who hides his bad behavior by pretending to go after someone else he claims is a bully. ANd while i call people names (that they usually deserve) you try to threaten and intimidate - which is a joke because you're a nothing piece of trash that is absolutely meaningless. You couldn't intimidate a gerbil. But you sure try - and i've NEVER told anyone i'd try to hurt them or their career or anything like that in the real world'. You absolutely do. I have no idea what you're talking about with regards to "Interviews', but frankly the only thing you'd be able to successfully interview is a bottle of cheap whiskey.

I think that's just you. There's a lot of gays that are very 'handsome' by the traditional standards. The research shows that it's partly genetic and partly environmental - but those factors would be in play long before someone was old enough to even try to get a girl. Most gays are aware of their feelings pretty early on.

Sigh. Still drunk.

And post regularly on the forum. Yeah - i think we all know you're a hypocrite It's a stupid thing to complain about in the first place. If you don't like someone's writing then don't read it. It's so simple a child could figure it out. Yet somehow you're struggling with it Sure you do That's basically what you've been doing now But you do it constantly. As i said - hypocrisy is not an obstacle for you The other thing you do is follow me around yapping like an angry puppy every time you wind up looking stupid in a debate. And you wind up looking stupid becaue you're more focused on just saying no whenever i say yes that you make stupid statements. Was that too long for you? Here - "Ya Dumb." There ya go ':)

The problems in Canada go far deeper than that. Which is why we're at the bottom of the heap in homes per capita and sinking. No matter how you slice it - SOMEONE has to stop that before it continues. It is going to lead to significant social unrest.

I'm not sure i see the word 'muzzle loading" in there? Could you point that out? And just to be clear - that would include cap and ball 6 shot black powder revolvers, (no cartridge there) with fast-swap capable cylinders. You're ok with selling those to 12 year olds yes? Unrestricted you said? Is it possible at all that you don't know what you're talking about?

Thats amusing - 'Serial immigrant" - there's got to be a joke in there somewhere Anyway - belated welcome to canada

Dude -you REGULARLY get drunk and spend a night attacking me like this. This is about the 5th time. It makes it kind of impossible to work with you. The rest of your faults can be managed but this is now like a monthly event with you. Sure - and what was my response? "don't worry about it, you're fine no hard feelings hope you feel better" - and i completely ignored it and treated you like it never happened. Then it happened again and i just blew it off, then it happened again and once again i just said "fine, i'll let you get sober and won't reply till then" and marched on. But by the NEXT time - i was done with it. Saying you're sorry only has any meaning IF YOU STOP DOING WHAT YOU ARE SORRY ABOUT. Which you did not. So your 'sorry' is meaningless isn't it. And to answer your question I think it was like 2 days ago, i BELIEVE it was Robosmith and i made a comment, he said he meant it differently - i reread his comment and realized i'd read it different than he meant - said i'm sorry my bad i misread that and moved on.

Serial?!? - you've gone away and come back a few times? You're right. And it shouldn't be outrageously hard to work out an algorithm for 'Just right". Whatever we can build in housing and infrastructure as a top cap (no more than that) then reduce it to meet the max supported by economic needs (jobs, special skills, etc).

This is one of those rare cases where i agree with you - we do need growth. Regardless of the job market negative population growth has pretty negative impacts. But - we do not need anything like what we're bringing in, and the challenges with the labour market aren't being driven by a lack of immigration that needs to be driven to the levels we're seeing. And if you think it does - then you HAVE to find a way to accelerate growth of the infrastructure to accommodate that - ESPECIALLY housing. Again - not going to disagree much. Although it is interesting that the immigrant will tend to always be behind those who've been raised here ON AVERAGE - but their CHILDREN will generally exceed the average. But we simply cannot afford to have population growth - from immigration or anything else - that is higher than our infrastructure capacity improvements. It's bad enough when it's medicine or schools but homes are just a deal breaker.

Dude you are a drunk jew hating russian acoholic with weird sexual perv vibes who randomly attacks me when he gets really drunk. There was no chance we were going to do much of anything together You have ZERO impact on the world, and can't even think your way out of a brown paper bag. You've been this way since i got here. This is not the first time you've done this with me OR other people. Maybe if you weren't a drunk, but you are.

LOL - only a leftie would try to claim that being show that he was wrong is a 'badge of honour'. As was the case here, you frequently post stuff that's just plain wrong. And either I or someone else has to take the time to point out that no, that's not what the term means or no, that's not what the experts say or no, that's not how math works or whatever. And now you're mad that you were wrong again. Like it's my fault. It would have taken you a half second to look up the answer before posting here, why don't you start doing that?
