  1. Trudeau squeaked, "folks, it's just a bad joke......"

     

    Quote

     

    Trudeau writes off peoplekind quip as 'dumb joke'

    Canadian PM mocked for correcting a woman using 'mankind' during town hall in Edmonton

     

    British TV broadcaster Piers Morgan called Trudeau a "Chief PC Plonker," accusing him of killing off mankind.

    Australian columnist Rita Panahi called him the "Kim Kardashian of political leaders;

    an all-style, no-substance himbo with all the depth of a puddle."

     

    Jokes included pictures posted of comic superhero Batman changing his name to "Batperson" and suggestions that Manitoba become "Peopletoba."

      Trudeau is a left-wing reflection of Donald Trump.

      I find it interesting that you think our PM being a compulsive liar and stupid as dirt is yawn worthy. What exactly would make you sit up and pay attention?

  2. Dedicated to those who think military parades are just for dictators!

      Indeed. I wonder how many soldiers roamed around Viet Nam heavily encumbered with those nasty bone spurs.

  3. I love  military parades!  

    If taxpayers are spending billions on their military, they should at least see how they look like.  At the very least.....we can  identify the various uniforms and gears from various divisions!

    I don't know why it evokes such negative feelings to some folks.   Some can  only think of the goose-stepping Nazis  :rolleyes: at the mention of military parades - so limited -  thanks to their movie-viewing (most likely the only source of info they rely on).  

    Is France a dictatorship?  I must have missed seeing that one in movies. :lol:

     

    Anyway.....so what if dictators do them?  They observe a national day for their country too, right?  Should we scrap doing that one, too?

    Just because they do, why can't we?  Why on earth do you let dictators somehow affect  what we should, and shouldn't do?  That's laughable and childish. 

    We know what's right and wrong -  and we know we've got common sense, right?  Can't we trust our own common sense? 

     

    Careful about criticizing other countries for their parades.  They could come back and say we're simply sour grapes.....since we don't have enough military to have a parade with! We've gutted it!  Our parade will look anemic.  Pathetic! 

     

    Anyway.....shouldn't we worry more about a PM who publicly upheld, and declared his admiration for the leadership of China over its people?

      So what?  Why? 

      Are their leaders any different from any other leader who want to show their strength?   Are they banned from having their own military parades?

       

       

  4. Trudeau ought to be used to being heckled by now.   Seems there's always something to be heckled about him.

    Trump makes terms or phrases popular!  Like, "fake news!"  "Make America great again."

      Late night tv jokes about him have been around since he won!!!

      And, if it's been around that long.......of course, it must be stale by now! 

         The first few times was a novelty, and it was interesting how some comedians really got into character of the people they were supposed to be impersonating.  The make-up artists are good!

      How many times can you satirize Trump of practically the same thing - all the same kind of dish btw (showing the negative of Trump), til people get the message???  Like all things........one can only have so much  and you're ready to puke of it.

       

      Too bad. Showing some unexpected pro-Trump skits  - that showed a positive of him - would've helped stave off the staleness.  But that can only play up for so long too.....

       

       

       

  6. When everyone believed it to be true.....there's no problem in showing the face of this girl.  I saw her on tv.

    But now that she is apologising, they have to blur her face.

      They were called to the school near Birchmount Rd. and Sheppard Ave. E. on Friday morning with the news of an alleged assault against their daughter and the family spoke to the media a few hours later at the school’s library.

      https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2018/01/17/family-offers-sincere-apologies-for-11-year-old-girls-false-hijab-cutting-story.html

       

      It was the family who spoke to the media a few hours after being "informed" of the alleged incident.  They're too quick to talk to the media!  Why the media?

       

      Why would you want to sensationalize an incident that had just occurred - surely, you'd want to know more about it before you go speaking publicly?  If your kid had just been through a very traumatic experience (luckily, it was just the hijab that was attacked - that your kid wasn't stabbed with those scissors - a scary possibility for any parent)  -  wouldn't you be spending the next few hours comforting your child?

       

      And yet, after an investigation in which it was discovered the whole thing was fabricated,  it took them two days to issue an apology!

       

      The whole thing stinks!

      I would say it is a sad fact that there are way too many people out that that want to shame a child, that is probably why they blurred her face.

      Nearly every article states the the incident "never happened".  They don't say she lied, just that it never happened.  And yes, she and her family should be asked why she did it.

      The "devout Christian" was a description from the grandmother. The school involved memorizing passages (lots of them) from the Bible. They were described as Pentecostal Christian.

      Yes inspections on a private school might have caught something. I am not sure how that would go down with the far right small government crowd however.

  8. Though I agree with Sandy Dey...

     

    ...I don't feel gleeful about it the way she did in the end.

  9. You can't take your kirpan on a plane (for security reasons).....

    ....but you can bring them to school.

     

    Ironic.  Stabbings seem frequent in schools, though I've never heard of any stabbings on a plane!
     

  10. Quebec joins other racist countries!

    Austria Becomes Latest Country In Europe To Ban Full-Face Veil

    "Starting in October, police will be charging fines from people who wear clothes that obstruct their facial features," Deutsche Welle reports. "The 150-euro ($166) fine would also apply to women wearing burqas and niqabs at universities, courts, or in public transport."

    France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Bulgaria have already banned or partially banned wearing a burqa or niqab. Germany and Norway are also working on bans.

    In March, the EU's highest court ruled that a Muslim woman who was fired in Belgium over wanting to wear an Islamic headscarf at her job did not suffer from direct discrimination, because her employer had a general rule against religious or political displays.

      Quebec's ban isn't all-encompassing as some countries where-in it seems the ban extends more to than just public servants or receiving public service.

       

      Merkel was calling for a ban "wherever legally possible."

      I wonder what Merkel knows after letting in thousands upon thousands of unvetted refugees into Germany that our politicians in Canada don't know?

  11. PM Trudeau had stated that, "it's not up to federal government to challenge Quebec niqab ban, however, he believes the Charter of Rights and Freedoms applies to everyone and that he will defend that principle."

    What's he on about?
    Can you wear a stocking or a hockey mask in a bank? Can you wear a bikini in a justice court?
    Can you wear just a speedo in school?
