socialist

I disagree with you. It is a free ride.

What bothers me most about MLW is the obvious targetting on those who disagree with the moderator's politics. Case in point: When I was a socialist, I never received a warning point. Since I have renounced socialism, I have received 19 warning points. Coincidence? I think not. But I better watch what I say here or I will get banned. Silencing me would cause many happy faces here....because I challenge conventional bullshit.

Yes, my point was obvious. Different eras, different concerns. I din't think what I said was that confusing. Oh well..... Mr. Hardner doesn't like me, and he's trying to bait me. I will continue to discuss the issues and give my opinions.

You seem to think reasons have remained static.

Yes, incentives based on hard work, like trying to attract Eastern European immigrants with free farmland that wasn't prepared to be farmed. They made it because they were forced to work hard clearing land. Nowadays, it's get in and social benefits will look after you, with no incentive to work. Big difference, Mike.

It is hard to see the elephant in the room because it is hiding behind the opaque mammoth. The mammoth is that Islamic refugees ( esp.Sunnis) tend to have a lot of religious baggage that is not compatible with a secular society. Equality for women and gays along with freedom of religion are not a few of their favourite things. The 25,000 will be almost completely Sunni. The Ismailis, Ahmaddiyyas, Christians, Yazidis, etc. have avoided the refugee camps because of religious persecution in the camps. The elephant is the fact that once a refugee touches Canadian soil they will be granted Charter rights. You cannot deport anyone to a country where they may be in danger. Basically, that means they are our responsibility until Syria and/or Iraq get their act together. Until that happens they will be held on security certificates at great expense. Anyone that we welcome into our house should be thoroughly screened before they get through the door. That is not being uncaring. That is not being racist. That is common sense.

I'm tired of the statement, "This country was built by immigrants!" Those immigrants were not sponsored, they used their own resources, sweat and hard work to get ahead. These new immigrants totally rely on sponsorship, grants, welfare, subsidizes, and handouts. The qualified, English speaking ones, create a brain and resource drain from the country they come from leaving that country in even worse shape. The Western world needs to help the people there, not bring them here. Education is the key, it lowers the birthrates, provides better government, and than the third world countries can move forward instead of being held down by the Western corporations that exploit their resources.

Even those who agreed to bring"refugees" in from Syria as promised by Trudeau during the election, have to be concerned with the time frame. It's foolhardy to put your own people at risk to keep an election promise. Liberals and promises are not always a team, we all recall Chretien and the GST. Ontario is another example of getting elected on promises which didn't materialize, McGuinty was a master, he got dubbed "McLiar", the dough heads in Ontario rewarded him repeatedly. Given the current situation with terrorists on the attack a leader with a brain would stall keeping this promise until we can take our time to screen them. We could also be introducing diseases like TB and worse. We are not in good hands; we are not safe when a leader ignores the advice of security experts.

It's sure to be entertaining to watch the EU collapse as the citizens of each country apply pressure on their gutless politicians. They have been asleep, lulled by their fantasy. They are in for a very rude awakening. And North Americans have bailed the morons out enough times in the last 100 years. Maybe it's time for them to solve their REAL issues by themselves.....and "climate change" ain't one of them. I'm Glad I visited Europe when it made some sense.

But one must realize our own media shows us very little of the truth.

You seem to be a member here who knows what is really going on in this world. You know the media in Canada sells us fluff, and a majority of Canadians eat it up like cupcakes. But please be objective and let me know what you think of this video. To me, it's alarming. http://americandigest.org/mt-archives/enemies_foreign_domestic/coming_attractions_from_t.php

Look what is happening at Yale now. These children have no idea how the rest of the country is laughing at them. Yale used to be an institution of higher learning. Today it is merely an expensive day care center for spoiled brats. Sad.

When was the last time you were in a university classroom?

I get out and about, Mike. I live life. My life consists of more than this silly little forum. I talk to many people. I make observations.

Let us not forget that far too many academics were raised in the very coddled way that they now promote in their classrooms.

I cannot help myself, I am immensely cheered to see the Diploma Mills reap what they have sown. Their product is so toxic it cannot even clear the production line. Taking money to indoctrinate/"educate" these unpersons is so micro-aggressive. This is how the committees always implode, they get so righteous and quick to condemn all who fail their own level of irrationality, that they eat their own. Quick send condiments, let the progressives enjoy their 5 minutes of hate as they consume their birthplace. We are already well past the point where a university degree is a positive , when hiring competent staff. Far too many have come out illiterate,illogical and rabidly dangerous to most business aims. For some reason these products cannot conceive of the need for profit, in business. Which is why private industry shuns them, with certain exceptions, most of the more useless grads infest government at every level, or human resources and safety in the big private bureaucracies. Where they systematically ensure only the most malleable & ignorant are hired into the corporate structure. Where the executive branch cannot understand why they are short skilled workers, "there is a shortage" . Can't fix stupid, skilled workers also have independence of thought and choices, hardly compatible with the zombie HR mandate.

Kimmy, Six munts agoo I cud nut evin spill engineer, now I is one. Sure but it takes creativity and intelligence to survive some of the insanity engineering students brought down on themselves. Been there had the T shirt. -1=e^ipi nails it; academia is stupidity personified, self righteous and ignorant fools stroking each other's egos There is no real world grounding any more. At one time European Engineering students had to have a ticket in the trades, before the universities would accept them. Then they were encouraged to work school holidays in the field. Now they don't see real world until certified. The ever relaxing standards have produced ignorant arrogant entitled masters, who cannot conceive their wisdom is not.. Soon the professional engineering associations will be seeking immunity from prosecution, rather than up their game. Kimmy, I can tell you are young and don't have the real world experience to understand the nuances of this thread. But you will gain understanding as you mature. trust me.
