  1. You do have a right to your opinion. There are others who share it. The problem is that you really believe that there is a large number of Canadians who agree with you and you really believe that you are speaking for the "pure" Canadian -whatever that is. If you are not an aboriginal whose ancestry pre-dates Christopher Columbus then you are a progeny of someone who immigrated to Canada. There are folks like you in every nation of the world deciding that "those other people" have no right to be here. I am one of those who believe that those who should be here are the ones who benefit this country - and folks like you are not in that group. You might consider that the mistake of your ending up here gives you some special position. It does not. Certainly you are allowed to think you are politically incorrect - but - you are just plain incorrect. It is people who think like you who I would like to see turfed from my Canada. Thank God folks like you are a small and decreasing minority.
  2. IN CANADA The Mounties have adopted a new uniform policy to allow female Muslim officers to wear the hijab. Scott Bardsley, spokesman for Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale, confirmed that RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson recently approved an addition to the uniform policy to allow women officers to wear the head scarf "if they so choose." "The Royal Canadian Mounted Police is a progressive and inclusive police service that values and respects persons of all cultural and religious backgrounds," Bardsley said in an email. RCMP Hijab IN FRANCE Get 'em off! Armed police order Muslim woman to remove her burkini on packed Nice beach - as mother, 34, wearing Islamic headscarf is threatened with pepper spray and fined in Cannes. Burkini Bust Thank God I live in Canada!!!!!
  3. In the past, I have assigned a number of resources for you to read and study before you spout your views. You have always refused to do so. If you spent half the time you spend on this board doing your homework instead of making uneducated comments on any and every topic then some of your arguments might have substance. But that would take up too much of your day and certainly endanger your claims to make enough money to be a millionaire.
  4. There is no logical argument relating to economics that is critical of our immigration policy. There are lots of publications proving that point. The only reason for any criticism of our immigration policy is one of human prejudice. Those folks who make decisions based on their personal dislike of other races, do not have the capacity to educate themselves and to see their error. They are impervious to considering facts and reality. You are wasting your time.
  5. We are all immigrants or offspring of immigrants. The difference is that now, we have an anonymous medium and a few of us want to close the door because they fear the unknown. Short term memory negates the baseless bigotry exhibited by resident Canadians during the "DPs coming in after the war", "Those crazy Irish", "Mobs of Italians and Portuguese", "Boatloads of slant eyed Communist Vietnamese", "Chinese hordes wanting our jobs" and it goers on and on and on. The only mistake I can see is having provided an opportunity for the current whiners to get in.
  6. So the Russians have been banned from the Rio Paralympics: Ban What a joke this is becoming. The Paralympics have been fighting for credibility ever since inception and now Russia gets banned. How many of these athletes are on pain relieving drugs - and if they are - who cares!!! So the guy missing his right leg can swim faster than some guy missing his left leg. This may give some people a fuzzy feeling but what does it mean when somebody with a handicap beats somebody else with a similar (but not necessarily the same) handicap? Who, besides politicians and parents of participants actually attend these games? This extension to the real Olympics has been a loss for every Olympics and this latest joke, removing the handicapped from Russia, may put the nail in that coffin. And good riddance!
  7. After seeing the last few posts do you really believe not using "cancer" to describe the slow annexation of Palestinian land would lead to "proper dialogue"? If there is a problem then it sure does not rest with Big Guy.
  8. Yes, I understand. Some true Canadians want to preserve their rain dances, peace pipe ceremonies, colorful headdresses and language but aboriginal (true Canadian) languages are dying out. There are even new immigrants who have landed here over the last 200 years and brought their own culture, traditions and languages would like to see them continue but for some reason do not want recent immigrants to have the same right. Why not?
  9. The opposite of Progressives is Regressives and is proven through the statements on this thread. That is not my definition, it is in every English reference text. I do not understand why posters would continue to be proud that they are regressive and criticize those who are progressive. I guess some people think that it is good to be regressive.
  10. A teacher teaches what curriculum is developed by their particular board. If he/she does no, then report them and they will be dealt with in appropriate manner. If you do not like what they are teaching and it is the curriculum to be taught then complain to the board and trustees.
  11. I agree, but in what uniform? To go after rebel Kurds, to fight ISIS, to assist Assad on his Northern Flank, as a member of the American alliance, to bolster Russian influence? The longer this complicated civil war between Sunni and Shiite continues the more murky become the alliances and goals. I would like to see Canada to review just what position it is taking and who are are friends and who are our enemies. Until then, we should pull out and analyse this multi war from a distance.
  12. Some Canadians look past color to evaluate their fellow man.
  13. We past the point of "proper dialogue here" about 190 posts ago.
  14. So the Israeli cancer is not content with absorbing Palestinian land but it is going to absorb Palestinian history as well: Moving Museums "When Israel unilaterally annexed East Jerusalem, it imposed Israeli law onto its territory - a move that has never been recognised by the international community. The court effectively ruled that Israeli law overrides international law in East Jerusalem." Israel recognizes no law but its own. These thugs have to be stopped!!
  15. Have no idea who they are. Probably my misfortune. I do find the idea of a "death" tour to be very interesting, bizarre and ghoulish. "See this guy who is dying right before your eyes". If this was not the case then this tour would be buried in the entertainment section where it belongs in the media. I am sorry to say that I find nothing brave or exceptional for a person to choose to live out his remaining days on stage instead of being with his family and making peace with his lord and his enemies. It looks to me like someone making money out of a macabre and ghoulish series of events.
  16. That is because American women are smarter than American men. About 70% of American women have an unfavorable opinion of Trump: Women Support Trump
  17. The BDS movement continues to gain support around the world: http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2016/08/bds-campaign-winning-battle-hearts-minds-160822091454440.html Hopefully, the Israeli government will get the message soon. I would like to see the Canadian government join that movement.
  18. Agriculture in Southern Ontario has been dependent upon seasonal migrant workers for tens of years. UP to the 1990's, it was the migrants from Quebec but has now been taken over by Jamaicans and Mexicans: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/migrant-workers-who-they-are-where-they-re-coming-from-1.1137930 Without these migrant workers, either the agricultural system in Southern Ontario would fall apart or Canadian price for fruit and vegetables would increase by 50%.
  19. Sikh guys wear turbans because of cultural and religious pressure. That is one way for the women to dominate the family and keep the little boys from going to school. Women have been using that religion to subjugate the men to a point where some of them carry little daggers in their turbans or on their belts to protect them from their wives. Already these immigrants are taking over the cranberry trade and corner 24/7 shops. If we don't stop them now everybody will be forced to grow big moustaches! Stop this insanity!!!
  20. Do you really expect people to spend part of their lives reading through your "ideas"? You must have a lot of time on your hands.
  21. There are different ways to look at the medal count: Medal Count
