No, I got it. I wasn't implying that you actually drank the coolaid, but that those who have are delusional.

If you believe that this is what is really behind Trudeau's imposition of a carbon tax, then aside from being an average misinformed or gullible Canadian, you would also be incorrect. Proof?? McKenna announced today that the provinces that are subject to Trudeau's forced carbon tax, not only would they be getting every penny back by way of a government rebate cheque, but many families would get MORE than they pay in. How can this be? Simple, the amount you receive back will be tied to your previous year's CRA income tax return. Wealth redistribution and vote buying, plain and simple. They're not even trying to hide their actual agenda or their overt hypocrisy.

It will be interesting to see what the affidavits say when everything shakes out.... Metoo isn't just coming to political Canada-it's here. Coming from Warren Kinsella, I'm inclined to believe there's something big about to be exposed.

Haven't you heard?? According to our brilliant leader, Canada has no core identity. Canada is a post-nation state. This destructive, dangerous and reckless attitude is the root of the problem as far as I''m concerned. The systematic intentional destruction of Canadian values and culture and redefining Canadian culture according to distorted progressive ideals is something that the average "Canadian" has little stomach for, however this transformation becomes easier as the Canadian population (culture) is slowly diluted.

While indigenous groups can't and shouldn't be blamed wholly for their current situation, it's no secret that indigenous leaders works every bit as much against their own cause as the Government does. Take the FSIN in Saskatchewan for example. They demanded that the premier of that province offer up an apology for the sixty's scoop. The premier promptly agreed and said the Government is prepared to offer the apology promptly, saying they were "ready immediately. We are ready to do this next week", to which the response from the FSIN was that it had to be made on First Nation land. The premier responded, saying "We've reached out to First Nation groups to say 'you make the call,'" Wall said. "We will do it wherever and whenever." Apparently the FSIN says that scheduling has been a factor, however anecdotal claims are that they have no interest in an apology at all, certainly not without a cheque attached. Several articles seem to back this sentiment up. For any meaningful healing and progress to be made, both parties have to be on the same page. This is what I see as the fundamental problem with attempting to mend aboriginal relations and the failure seems to be not merely on the side of governments. What? You mean an empty vacuous promise to take immediate government action on the 94 calls to action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission won't solve the problem? Trudeau has made a career of throwing fuzzy platitudes at issues and then ignoring the substance...even issues that are on his agenda (see ramming through legalization of marijuana, then leaving the details to individual provinces). I personally have zero confidence that he has even the slightest ability to put any substance into any issue.

Thanks for the clarification. From the evidence I've seen, public dialogue will generally always degenerate into a cesspool of self-centered rants and insults. It's the result of a couple of decades of people dieting on cultural delicacies such as Snooky and Jaywow, the Kardashians, and countless other mindless, brain melting shows, in addition to our education system instilling in all kids that they are the most important person in existence and that the world revolves around them. People seem to only be capable of seeing things from their own perspective and are less and less tolerant of perspectives which differ from theirs. We have developed into a society of narcissists, it has essentially killed the chance of any meaningful insightful dialogue, and has permanently strained the fabric of what holds us together as a society. I think that conducting this little experiment on a political forum may skew your findings somewhat, as many are here (not all mind you) in an attempt to cut through the garbage and try and engage in meaningful dialogue. The sample here may not by typical of what you will find in the comment section of a Vice article.

Just to be clear here so as to avoid any accusation of potential thread drift, is the premise of this thread to discuss the legal vs moral aspects of incest, or is it about some self-righteous progressive posting a contentious article about incest for some personal social experiment to see how far the conversation will degenerate? Your OP and subsequent responses seem to lean toward the latter, however I just want to be sure. Does this not come very close to trolling?

The irony here is that many of the evil tax dodgers he's condemning are middle-class business owners just trying to make a living, who pay corporate taxes, then personal income taxes on any income they pay themselves, in addition to double CPP. These people typically have no pension and no benefits. Is he fighting for these middle class Canadians or against them?? It's pretty rich (no pun intended) watching Trudeau and Morneau portray themselves as leaders who truly and deeply connect with the middle class when it's obvious they have no clue and never have.

Absolutely no business, but it looks good to their centre-left base....virtue signalling.

had no trouble with it, pretty self-explanatory. Oh come on, Justin and the Liberals are the real deal... just ask him.

The plan? Who needs a plan, the refugee crisis will take care of itself...won't it? I find it interesting that the immigration minister says the situation is unpredictable. Most people were talking about this and anticipating it back in January, most people knew that there would be an influx of illegal crossings once the weather warmed up. It may have been unpredictable to the Liberals, but it certainly wasn't to everyone else in the country who was paying any attention at all to what was going on.

...says the person who infers that disagreeing with current immigration and refugee policy makes one a racist. Your comment has been deemed invalid, thanks for playing.

That's not all some of them have arrived with... Refugee claimants found in possession of child porn at Quebec border Irregular indeed...

Cowardice is a trait based on observable demonstration, an example of which I referenced.

And as usual, Omni has no coherent comment, let alone any sort of intelligent argument to counter.

Apparently anyone who disagrees with Trudeau's immigration and refugee policy in Canada is an angry, frustrated racist. I guess that's one way to shut down the dialogue on the issue. Trudeau says racists won't change Canada's openness to Immigrants "Irregular entry???" The coward can't even muster the words to call it what it is. Sad performance by our leader as usual.

I believe this is referring to the Haitian Coup in 2004, when both the US and Canada implemented a deportation ban on refugees from Haiti, which was extended in 2010 after the earthquake there. The funny thing is, from what I can make out Trudeau himself cancelled that order last August, requiring Haitians to go back home. The US didn't cancel their order until May of this year, and the Haitians there decided to illegally enter Canada through the loophole created by the safe third country agreement rather than go home. Ironically, Trudeau apparently ordered the Haitians located in Canada to go back home, then promptly put out the welcome mat for the Haitians in the US affected by Trumps order to come on in.

The government has a plan at least...let them in without a hearing if they are from Syria, Iraq, Eritrea, Afghanistan, Burundi, Egypt, and Yemen . That should clear the backlog quickly...who needs a formal hearing anyway? Hearings are a waste of time and it seriously conflicts with Trudeau's open door policy. Expedited Policy - Designation of New country

Castro was a hero to most Cubans because he was a ruthless dictator who demanded total and complete loyalty from his people. Dissent was not tolerated, many spent years wasting away in abysmal prisons. You talk of others being gullible, yet you can't seem to grasp that the only reason that Cubans showed loyalty to their brutal leader was not of free choice, but of brutal repression.

they were also very careful not to describe or define it as torture. Kind of odd, don't you think? Maybe no one on the SCC reads the Macleans magazine opinion column.

Good grief...your cite was regarding the ruling in 2006. Take a look at the date of the article you cited. You honestly need to start doing your own research... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_Commissions_Act_of_2009

Once again, to try and enlighten you... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_Commissions_Act_of_2006 I have no doubt you will pass this information by and continue denying the facts.

You're so quick to call out any disageement with this settlement as hate; the only hate I see being demonstrated is the sardonic contemptuous hatred you show toward those who are in disagreement with your position. But don't let this stop you from getting your contemptous hate on for 71% of Canadians who disagree with your narrow minded position. Your hypocrisy apparently know no bounds.

The SCOC did not rule that compensation should be paid. There was no court ruling on compensation, period.

This garbage gets old and completely undermines any arguement you are trying to make. Calling people racist or haters or any other label you can think of because they dont agree with a government decision is lazy and sad.
