  1. Botched handling of gangster refugee claimant exposes Canada's screening weaknesses https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/gangster-refugee-canada-immigration-screening-1.4943292 Boy, considering these expose' comes from CBC......... .................................the reality must be much more serious than this.
  2. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/cbsa-permanent-residency-error-1.4978765 This should be chilling enough. I'm beginning to think like a conspiracy theorist - suspecting a collusion between Trudeau government and Islamists!
  3. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/cbsa-permanent-residency-error-1.4978765 A NUMBER OF VULNERABILITIES? How many vulnerabilities are we talking about here? What kinds of vulnerabilities are these when this person was granted permanent residence? Obviously, Goodale and Trudeau lied to Canadians about being prepared to admit so many refugees! How can you trust our leaders when they're blatantly caught giving false reassurances? How can we have confidence in their decisions?
  4. Remember the influx of refugees from Syria? And, how Goodale and Trudeau assured us about the vetting process? How do you explain this? https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/cbsa-permanent-residency-error-1.4978765 How do you make mistakes as serious as this? When national security is involved - we can't afford any mistakes! How many more "mistakes" are there that hasn't been discovered yet? The Trudeau and Goodale must be held accountable! These two were the ones who'd open our borders despite concerns about the vetting process!
  5. FN wants to buy the pipeline!

    Whom are we kidding here?  This is another shell game!

    Canadian taxpayers bought the pipeline - and, Canadian taxpayers will be the one buying it too for FN!  Double whammy for taxpayers!

    Lol.   Canadians are surely taking a terrible beating from Trudeau government!   slapping.gif

     

    There's no letting up, eh......taking us through the grinder!

  6. Ahhh.....I think I get it now.

    This is a political position for Trudeau:  standing up against Saudi Arabia (over human/women's rights).   Of course, Canadians will unify behind their Prime Minister against a tyrannical Saudi Arabia......which is good for the coming election. 

    Just look at the photo ops with Freeland.   How many refugees are personally greeted and embraced by a foreign minister?

      Another one wants out but is still in Saudi. ..  good luck to her getting out

      And of course Asia and family are still in hiding. I guess she doesn't qualify for help since she only spent eight years in solitary confinement while awaiting execution for committing blasphemy by drinking from a cup that was for Muslims. I guess she's got it too good, hiding with her family while the majority of a country looks for her so they can kill her, and presumably her family too. Or...they just don't make for as good a photo op. Go Libs go!

  7. Why hasn't Trudeau offered an asylum to a Christian woman (Asia Bibi), and yet it's readily offered to a non-Christian?

     

    Canada open to receiving Saudi woman fleeing family, officials confirm

      Simple, because Trudeau is a piece of shit!

      Yes.   Don't get me wrong - I don't resent asylum being offered to this lady who renounced Islam, but it's the non-response to a Christian, that's grating.

      Furthermore, this lady had Australia as her choice - and Australia was on the verge of taking her.  And, unlike the case of Asia Bibi - there are other countries that expressed interest.   There was no need for Canada to step in.

      But Trudeau didn't and won't 

  8. Unifor Dias criticizes government (Ontario and Fed) for being quiet about GM.   What does Dias think?   That they can force a company to remain open and operate - just because the Union demands it?  Are you kidding me?

     

    Enough of that grandstanding, Dias!

    I know it hurts Canada to lose so many jobs - but, the sooner we accept that reality,  the better it'll be.    

     

    MOVE ON!

     

  9. What's up with Halifax?  Taxi drivers getting charged with sexual assaults.

     

    Basam Al-Rawi faces a charge of sexual assault, after an acquittal was overturned last January by the Nova Scotia Court of Appeal.  

    https://atlantic.ctvnews.ca/woman-was-passed-out-mostly-naked-in-halifax-taxi-driver-s-car-constable-1.4244886

     

     

      Seyed Abolghasem Sadat Lavasani Bozor, 74, was charged with sexual assault and was scheduled to appear in Halifax Provincial Court on Tuesday.

      I didn't realize there had been a few of them...   how do you regulate this?

      PSSST this did not happen , these men are not Muslim, they don't do that stuff.....that would be Islamophobic….

      The third one is un-named.

      I suppose.....they won't be naming suspects from now on.

  10. I suppose, it depends on the motive. Some older people want to have young mates to boost up their self-esteem. We have "boy toys" (who can forget Cher?), and "cougars" for women - a term if not mistaken I think, popularized by Demi Moore/Ashton Kutcher. There's no denying it that younger people are quite attractive. Lol, when you reach a certain age (as in old age) - all young people look pleasing to the eye! It depends too what age you both are. Women in their forties could comfortably settle nicely with a much older man compared to a woman in her thirties. Realistically - especially in this day and age - it's almost impossible to keep that May-December relationship long-lasting.
  11. Well, maybe only the most blatant ones should be reported. If it isn't blatant trolling, it's open to interpretation.....otherwise, it'd be blatant! Like, I don't see the bragging posts about the USA as "trolling"..... after all there is indeed an attitude among some Canadian posters to belittle the US President. Our own Justin Trudeau had done so (doing a bitchy snide swipe) at every opportunity he got. In fact, he's been pontificating to other nations about the "values" of Canada, which apparently is now grating among Canadians (according to pundits on Question Period)! Lol. If this "holier-than-thou" is getting on the nerves of Canadians - imagine how it must be for other world leaders! This is a political forum. The "bragging" is political. It is personal attacks that are the serious crimes in a forum. Trolling, not so much...... And please, I don't want the mods to be deleting posts just because someone reported it as "trolling." That's what's happening to some forums (including the one started by smallC). It doesn't fly. Those are the forums that eventually end up getting really dead.
  12. The Stone Monkey - Jeffrey Deaver.
  13. We should be rooting for Trump's border wall between US and Mexico - the USA will be like a buffer for us! I think, a lot of migrants from that side of the world will eventually be eye-balling Canada for all the socialist goodies we give.
  14. I love your neighbor already. Perhaps she's now a hijab-wearing Christian? Apparently, a lot of refugees in Toronto have been converting to Christianity (according to People's Church in Toronto) Muslims included - and some had gone back, and going back to their motherland as missionaries!
  15. Prime mistake! Hahahahaha I like that!
  16. Something I notice in my little city - people greet using "Merry X'mas" now. In fact, I notice store clerks perk up when I greet them Merry Christmas - and with big smiles (like they didn't expect that greeting), they enthusiastically answered right back the same! Never heard "Happy Holidays" at all! I suppose, that movement to eliminate "Merry Christmas" was a short-lived thingy.....at least, in this part of the world. This place is quite diversified too.
  17. Maybe, use the same forum software that Debate Politics is using. I don't think it ever had that problem, and it's so smooth to use. I don't get notifications from here, and I didn't get any emails. Also to help out Charles, why not ask posters to volunteer (and give them the power to delete spams they see)?

    "A newly discovered blind and burrowing amphibian is to be officially named Dermophis donaldtrumpi, in recognition of the US president’s climate change denial."

    Hahahahaha  he sure drives some crazy! hahahaha

  19. I don't know if they'll give us accurate info on numbers of weed-related accidents - if they'll just all lump them together along with alcohol and other recreational drugs as, impaired driving.
  20. Sentenced to 3 years in prison.  Cohen - according to prosecutors - "did not fully cooperate."  I guess that means they didn't hear what they wanna hear from him.

    But the question is:

    What's keeping him from fully cooperating?   He's already burned his bridges with Trump  - so why didn't he fully cooperate?

     

    Could it be.....he has nothing more to give?

      Because he's charged with doing crimes he was paid by Trump to do, and because a pardon involves an admission of guilt, Trump can't pardon him without implicating himself further.

    3. Don Jonas

      Don Jonas

      He wouldn't pardon him anyway because he sang like a canary. I have heard (but am unsure of the accuracy) that his refusal to answer some questions was based on an unwillingness to flip on the mob, but that he flipped on Trump hard.

  21. What's with Victoria Stafford's killers?    Both moved from max security prison!  Preferential treatment of some sort?   Corruption?  Somebody getting greased?

  22. Candy cane banned....because, "J" is for Jesus, the red symbolizes His blood, and white is for the Resurrection.  

    No kidding.  The looney politically correct are getting even more loonier!

     

    Manchester Elementary principal Jennifer Sinclair sent a memorandum to parents and students informing them that candy canes were off limits because “Historically, the shape [of the candy cane] is a ‘J’ for Jesus. The red is for the blood of Christ, and the white is a symbol of his resurrection. This would also include different colored candy canes.”

    The list essentially banned any Christmas-specific decor or activities, including Christmas carols and music, reindeer, Elf on the Shelf, and red and green items, but it allowed for non-Christmas winter imagery such as yetis, penguins and “snowmen, snow women, snow people, snowflakes”:

      The school should be made to stop using the term Christmas to describe their festivities.  Christians groups should take that up as a challenge.  That's a form of misappropriation.

      @betsy  have to agree, this whole PC nonsense is a bridge too far.     I'm surprised they do call it Christmas, usually it's 'holidays' or some such thing. 

  23. "Are you shaking your head for yes?"

    The reporter was asking Elon Musk if he'll buy the GM plant.  Since when is shaking your head associated with meaning "yes?"  Talk about forcing him to say what you wanna hear. :D

  24. 94,000 jobs created in November?

    How reliable is that report?

    1. OftenWrong

      OftenWrong

      If you read the CBC story, you'll see that wage growth for full-time workers has been stalled for years now. They've dumbed down a number of industries into lower paying jobs, by hiring immigrants into entry-level positions with a low wage. They in turn are willing to take the low paying job, as starting over in a new country means you take what you can get. However these are the jobs that were traditionally held by young people, "junior positions", are now being occupied by adults who are willing to do the work of a junior, and even more.

      Result: China-fication of Canada

  25. Would-be immigrants who follow the process and patiently waiting in line for approval, are going to get shafted. There's no question about that. Just like a teen would promise anything just to get his way, Trudeau will sign anything, just to earn a seat at the security council.
