Well yes and no. Native laws never defined owning land-the earth is defined as a living organism which no one owns or has title to but can share. The approach of native laws was to share land not own it. Owning land, having title is not and has never been a native legal concept. As well native people had governments. That's a silly thing to say. They had elders of each community pass on the laws orally. They also did have written languages but they had no need to record as they would pass their rules and customs down through song and story telling. The ancestral rights you talk of do not and never claimed by natives to "own" the land. The use of the word "title" is not what they use or say. They don't claim title. They claim the collective right to use and have access to land based on treaties entered into with the British. its only non natives who claim "title" in the sense of owning the land exclusively for individuals. Native laws do not define individual rights to land only collective rights to access land. One of the problems when discussing the complex issues in conflict is we need to start by understanding what the actual conflict is, not assuming what it is.

Common sense helps. Trust yourself TSS.

We are not talking about 7 billion people. Are you really that blind with your biases you can't slow down just once to think? 7 billion people will not all contract the virus for the above number to then transpire and then if it did 2.3% of any amount is not a large number in relation to its total number. It can't be. In a world of 7 billion no 161 million even using your doomsday scenario is not a high rate. You have any idea what people die from on this planet at higher rates than the above? Using your reasoning we should all commit suicide. People die every second of every day. What is your obsession with this particular virus? Here is the death clock. Why not just sit and watch it. https://www.medindia.net/patients/calculators/world-death-clock.asp

This just in corona virus carriers just spotted in downtown Wawa, Ontario.

The best way to deal with hysteria ignorance is to address it head on. To start with: "About 81% of people who are infected with the coronavirus have mild cases of COVID-19, according to a study published Feb. 18 by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention. About 13.8% report severe illness, meaning they have shortness of breath, or require supplemental oxygen, and about 4.7% are critical, meaning they face respiratory failure, multi-organ failure or septic shock. The data thus far suggests that only around 2.3% of people infected with COVID-19 die from the virus. People who are older or have underlying health conditions seem to be most at risk of having severe disease or complications." source: https://www.livescience.com/coronavirus-myths.html Panic and hysteria over flu strains is a yearly event during flue season and here are just a few flu epidemics where geniuses predicated the end of the world: Russian, 1918 post WW1 flu, 1957 pandemic in Guizhou, China , 1968 Hong Kong Kong, H1N1, SARS, Swine, Avian. On top of those few of many flue examples, we also have ignorance and panic that was spread over AIDS. Ebola and the Zeka viruses. The list of idiots and their panic reactions to disease is infinite and has been going on since homo sapiens began to exist as a species. Its simply primal fear.. It can be symptomized by fear of the unknown, fear of illness, fear of mortality, fear of that which we can not control. fear of the meaning and purpose of life, fear of what happens after we die. As well it has its religious element as it deals essentially with existence.Negative doomsdayers feel the need to be prophets and show a holier then thou attitude acting as divine visionaries of what life has in store and they feel their sermons or warnings are divine messages meant to "save" people from themselves. In a nutshell this thread is nothing more than a recycled example of someone needing to play messiah or prophet. Its recycled warnings of the apocalypse. To me homo sapiens who refuse to evolve past their primal traits will have a propensity to fear anything and everything and the surest way to see it manifested is through the attempt of the fearful to pose themselves as experts and anyone who questions them as unworthy. On this thread we have the person who commenced the thread stereotype people with brown skin as disease carriers and another envision the collapse of Canada and all we citizens as sheep who will die. Its unoriginal to say the least. One of the reasons I find such doomsday threads so contemptible is that they summarily reject the sacrifice of health professionals all over the world and what they have done and continue to do to have prevented disease and enable these doomsday experts the ability to live the long lives they do annoying others.

Your are expressing delusional thoughts. You and Dougie should go hide in a bomb shelter.

Your words sound delusional.

The government does not have to come save me from flu or corona virus. Measures are already in place. You fear monger based on ignorance as to the medical systems already in place.

He's no Hebrew.

If you have to self isolate someone else can bring in the food. If you in fact know no one to do this you can call the city where you live, in particular your city councilor, provincial member of Parliament or federal member of Parliament and they can liaise with a social agency to deliver food. You could even call the police on the NON emergency line for this.

I hate Trump as everyone knows. Pew kaka. However fair is fair. His move to take out the sob in Iran looks to be working well in quietening down Iran. Next today the US entered a peace agreement with the Taliban. Hope it holds. The fact is it happened under Trump's watch so his office gets credit. For a war monger as some have accused him of imagine if Obama had done that. Will any detractors of Trump notice this? I did. Have to be fair. Anytime you can do something like that it should be applauded. Like I said I hope it holds.

With the flu alone every year since the 90's at flu season we have an end of the world by flu story. Do not forget aids, zeka, swine flu, all the other viruses that each year people panic over not to mention Trump was doing to blow us up in Iran, have a nuclear war with North Korea, there was anthrax, like you said nuclear threats, on and on. Hey we were all to be blown up in 1999 when it turned 2000, and don't forget the second sun on a collision course with us, the Mayan prediction we'd blow up, on and on. Then again the person who started this thread has shown everyone with his latest comments about brown people and multiculturalism what we are dealing with. He's an inspid troll. He started a thread to be a racist and get attention with stupid hysterical moronic comments.,

Yes in a court of law in Canada he would not have been tried as he was. The Charter would have never allowed the lack of full disclosure of evidence as to his charges or the testimony since he was not at all times in the presence of a guardian or lawyer when he confessed. I would go so far as to say he may never have been charged under Canadian laws. I am not arguing his confessions are admissable. I get that. What you see from me is an angry moral opinion that this man today should not be taking or profiting from money from his actions. I could live with the fact he has served his time. I could even live with the fact he was entitled to rehabilitation. Sorry I can not and will never accept the conclusion he was entitled to money for his actions. I can not and will never accept any form of law that compensates criminal or terrorist actions. I can not and will never equate the pain Kadr claims to have suffered from as being more worthy of compensation then that of the family and widow of the deceased soldier. Also as a Muslim which he claims he is, he can not accept money from actions he knows caused another pain and suffering. I judge him by his own moral standards. By the way Eye the Geneva convention does not apply. Also international law has no treaties for the treatment of child terrorists or any terrorists. The treaties that do exist contemplated children drafted into conventional armies or uniformed militias fighting soldiers. not operating as terrorists (attacking civilians). The UN has never attempted to establish any treaty for the treatment of terrorists. It has not because most of the nations in the UN can not agree on what a terrorist is and probably never will.

1. The Dow Jones as is the case with all stock exchanges operates on panic and hysteria and goes up and down. Market prices drop, escalate. To look at a stock drop in an isolated manner as you have shows an ignorance of the nature of stock fluctuation and market corrections nothing else. 2. There are countless viruses that come and go. There are in fact so viruses so many science don't even name them all. They can't be treated by anti-biotics since they are not a bacteria. The vast majority don't even give you symptoms and you carry them never knowing you have them. The ones that do usually are contained by your own body. It is people with pre-existing medical conditions that compromise their immunity systems like people on drugs for organ transplants, people with diabetes,, lupus, asthma, aids, cancer, that have to watch when they get viruses as do older people but 90-95% of viruses are not fatal and can be treated with rest, hydration and believe it or not you friggin wash your hands and just not sneezing on people or running around in hysteria. 3.Fear mongering is irresponsible. 4. https://www.spectator.co.uk/2020/02/the-most-dangerous-thing-about-coronavirus-is-the-hysteria/ for quote below: "There is something more to the Covid-19 panic. It is the latest phenomenon to fulfil a weird and growing appetite for doom among the populations of developed countries. We are living in the healthiest, most peaceful time in history, yet we cannot seem to accept it. We constantly have to invent bogeymen, from climate alarmism, nuclear war and financial collapse to deadly diseases. Covid-19 has achieved such traction because it has emerged at just the right time. At the end of January, Brexit had just been completed without incident. The standoff between the US and Iran — which preposterously led the ‘Doomsday Clock’ to be advanced closer to midnight than during the Cuban missile crisis — fizzled into nothing. The Australian bush fires, which caused an explosion in climate doom-mongering (even though the global incidence of wildfires has fallen over the past two decades) had largely gone out. What more was there to worry about? Then along came a novel strain of disease and the cycle of panic began again. But there are already strong signs that it has peaked. In the seven days before 24 February, the WHO recorded 6,398 new infections in China — down from 13,002 the previous week. On Monday it was 415. Very soon we are going to have to find another thing to agonise about. Asteroids? The next ‘freak’ weather incident, now the storms have died down? Who knows, but we will certainly find something."

Impact on environment is being taught now in business planning. Its changing. The travesty of plastics alone has convinced business they have to think twice about certain disposable concepts as being cost effective let alone counter productive to health and the environment. Its a slow revolution but its happening. As for the tar sands extraction, its dirty, messy, and causes severe damage and none seems to address the severity of damage its causing Boreal forests or addressing the mercury or other pollutants its leaking from its left over pits. Trudeau wants to be able to suck and blow at the same time being a UN climate darling but at the same time push pipelines of tar sands oil. He sucks and blows. I say slowly switch off from tar sands to other sources of economic activity. Easier said then done unfortunately. I never was a fan of tar sands extraction. Can't be. But I am in favour of safe crude oil extraction. The problem is our politicians allowed Canada and Alberta to become addicted to tar sands oil like heroin. Now we have to deal with it.

Great post, Like it a lot. Except being a Jew you understand if I don't think much of the pro Hitler anti semite Ford as a person but yer pts are well made. Got it.

I am not sure what your point is. Saying there are a lot of good non union companies is no different than saying there are a lot of good unions. The point is there are good and bad management and good and bad unions. People who make sweeping generalizations about all unions usually do so based on stereotypes from personal anecdotes. So? The specific issues at play in each and every labour dispute are the issue. Sometimes they have merit, sometimes they do not, sometimes both sides are wrong, right or just posing for a better negotiation position. So? I think the teacher's unions in Ontario have a lot of fat and redundancy and corruption. So do many teachers. It does not mean certain issues the teachers raise are bad. Also on the other side of the table, the Ontario government is faced with crunch time over finance limitations and has to do some serious fiscal reformation. I get people hate unions but its pointless.

I support environmental safeguards but to think shutting down this potential work saves the planet or deals with the environmental issues is just not the case. Its the opposite. It in fact empowers worse polluters elsewhere. The idea you can't exploit any natural resources without it being evil is just not the cas Keeping the country without any economic activity from which to generate profit to finance environmental research makes no sense or cents. I get protecting the environment but we need a balanced approach. You can't give birth (to new ideas) when you don't engage in intercourse (with industry).

There is no "side" to the holocaust. It happened. As for hijacking the thread was about the anniversary of Buchenwald not whether the holocaust happened. Next would I like to see everything you post deleted-I don't read much of what you say. When I do it is because I feel I have a moral obligation to challenge certain things you say. Other then that don't delude yourself. I could care less what you write. The moderator should have enforced the hijacking rule and told you to start your own thread denying the holocaust. He did not and the reasons he chose not do remain a mystery because he won't stop you at this point on this thread so I have no choice but to challenge your insipid attempt to deny the holocaust.
