Government cheque paid for ex-Liberal MP's son's wedding recep
login replied to PIK's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
I don't get it, its not like they don't get paid. You'd think an MP could secure a loan or line of credit to pay a bill from a bank or an aquantaince. This is just stupid. Its like saying here, lets screw over the party... Although its not like records can't be forged, and relying on any GOV of Canada database is a no go because it was hacked. -
2000 Chinese workers coming to work Chinese mine -- in Canada
login replied to Argus's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Somewhat strange circumstances. Its not like there arn't 2000 Chinese people in BC. Bottom line though is, it is their business. If you want more controls you need to put them accross the board to apply to everyone not just foreign investors and businesspeople operating in Canada. WTO junk. Its not like Canada was unable to organize a crown corporation to do the same thing. its junk like this that has me question why the federal government doesn't raise income rather than tax people through resource management. Then you wonder why state owned economies like China are buying out our resource sector. -
"I really don't care if people like you have your rights violated because"... you don't beleive in unviersal human rights. See the cycle. Fact is you are the bad guy. I don't know either of those people. I think that an act or acts does not justify what someone is. You make them that, they don't need to be that. Without greater cause or reason, Right of Mobility- freedom of movement Right of Security - freedom to be free from threat to their life in innocence. Right of Liberty - the freedom to make for their own survival from what is on the planet in equal access without harm Right of Peace - not to be subjected to treatment which violates the peace of mind Right of Inviolibility - right not to have their body violated by substance or object or force without consent Right of Equality - to have their rights respected and not to be interfered with if they grant those same rights to others.. Right of Honour - the protection against misinformation, lies and deciet so as to cause harm or defraud in context with the individual Right to Self Recognition and Affiliation - the freedom to choose who they associate with and who they organize with The bottom line, if it ain't ok for me to walk up on the street and do it to you, it is likely a human rights abuse. Fundamentally there is no government beyond the self so the idea of the vote is nonconsequential, that is a poiltical concept for self organization. People needn't be part of an insitution or government if they choose not to be. That is the notion of right to self recognition and self affiliation. People cannot be made slaves to someone elses rule. Rule is voluntary not forced. Rule of force invites conflict and force of arms. Canada doesn't exist fundamentally as more than a self organized political unit. If you dont have a good reason for denying them entry they should be allowed in. That has to do with dignity. Drug dealers can very much be recorded by the police. Just a quesion in Canadian law whether a search warrant is requried. If police see a deal going down they are fully entitled to make an arrest. The idea of breaching peoples privacy is an issue of dignity. This relates to peace of mind. I think people should be subjected to their own standards of law. A set of laws for the ruler and another set for the ruled is not a notion I support. I beleive in equality and equal rights to all citziens.

Humans, if Afghanis can't defend themselves then they're going to need a stronger husband or wife. I'm strongly against foreign intervention in domestic affairs as a political policy position. I feel diplomacy is applied. Casual war is nonsensical, occupation of Afghanistan is nonsensical. If over a billion people can fit into china there is more room in Canada and Russia and other central asian states for Refugees. I don't like Canadian law either. I could care less if there was a place for Taliban law. There are thousands of people praising the dhali lama for next to the same justice system. why are you claiming to have the right values? I think people of different values can share the same planet, its not like they were in France, they were in their tribal lands, who the hell cares, its their tribes, their traditional lands, Why are you forcing your standards of law on the land they have lived in for centuries? You think our society is perfect? I like arranged marriages and speeding. Those things make life easier. I'd take 10 wives I cuold care less if people had multiple wives or husbands. Yeah cut their bloody hand off, or I'd say just kill every criminal it will save time, just make sure that it is someone who is committed to crime rather than someone of circumstance, kill the people who like to victimize. I'm all for that. While neither Canadian Law nor Taliban law do my thing, that is it right their I don't think your law is perfect, and I don't think theirs is perfect, its that simple, but its their law, and its your law. Just don't try to apply it to me. I will gladly die and get the hell off this rock. Its a body. It wasn't any more legitimate all humans have equal rights and equal right to land, it is only out of respect that people can live in peace and cooexistance. You have no more right than they do, but one should realize IT WAS THEIR TRADITIONAL LAND NOT THE NORTHERN ALLIANCES'. Proove that he killed civillians or shut up. I consider killing people honourable, I consider torture inhumane, death is liberation. Afghanistan feels to me like a shrub that is being trimmed for show. But the strategic importance will only become clear over the next 3 years. I'm still waiting to see how things fall but this is a critical time. Once we hit 2020 things will be more clear. Its is hard to verbalize but my strategy would not have been occupation. As a training exercise as I indicated as the reason for extending Afghanistan it is fullfilling its purpose but I feel it isn't being managed as well as it could be. I don't feel it. Its just an exercise in gunboat imperialism. I hate victimizers by character. I respect people who make victims due to difference in culture with reason because it is a form of innocence that only communicaton can resolve in respect and allowing comprehension of one world for both. I can't blame someone for being them, but I can despise someone who chooses to be a tormentor.

- - No, it doesn't depend on the prisoner, a human rights abuse is a human rights abuse. If you can't show humanity why do you expect it from them. There is always a third party, so your position is just a creation of viciousness. HUMAN RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS... there are no good or bad human rights they are fundamental. Will it result in good? The idea is to prevent Arar like repetitions where people are shipped to hostile countries so they can be violated with less of a conflict of interest. If you wants to go back to Afghaistan, sure. Also I disagree with your assessment of the only person able to defend.. wrong, it was an invasion in violation of the rules of war, why apply the rules of war if the invader doesn't apply them? Law of Persons states that if an individual's life is threatened they have the fundamental right to a defence, by any reasonable application of force whether deadly or not. In most contexts the notion of duress would provide a defence. Period. In absence of "lawful government" (since domestic law cannot be changed lawfully during an occupation), acts that would be unlawful by one side substantiate self defence provsions providing a lawful defence. Its like a 15 year old knifing a home invader whose posse has them pinned to their house. Totally legal defence. No part of "in force" Afghan law provided for US special forces to assault the house Khadr was in, so the act is beyond the law and a criminal act, so Khadr would have both fundamentally and within Afghan law as existed internationally (that is prior to the occupation by the US invading forces) US cannot force changes to domestic law, it is against the rules of occupation within the rules of war. No need for camps bodies decompose.

The last part of the PBO's mandate substantiates the request: "The mandate of the Parliamentary Budget Officer is to provide independent analysis to Parliament on the state of the nation's finances, the government's estimates and trends in the Canadian economy; and upon request from a committee or parliamentarian, to estimate the financial cost of any proposal for matters over which Parliament has jurisdiction." Estimates are not based upon already spent money Mr. Flahrety.

I think they should provide a good reason not to release the information. Page isn't the auditor general but I don't see why barriers are being put up for someone to do their job.

Is the ship in the India Ocean for Iran or Syria

Now why are Canadians just ignoring Bani Walid which is undergoing indiscriminate artillary fire on civillians by the NATO installed governent? Is that any different than what happened in Homs? -
Is the ship in the India Ocean for Iran or Syria
login replied to login's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
The Turkish actions were an unneeded escalation . They arn't controlling their border against the "rebels" (seemingly foreign supplied, and foreign staffed militants), the Syrians wouldn't need to be so close to the Border if the Turks didn't aid and abet terrorism within Syria. You seem to be oblivious to the fact that tens of thousands of people have been killed as a result of the wests aiding a rebellion in syria, when it could have just given refugee spots. Instead they have effectively caused 10's of thousands of deaths and caused the migration of many people who likely would not have faced this same situation. If ASSAD was the issue a well planned assassination during a state visit would have saved a lot of blood. This is domestic interferance. -

I read the news. -
Who cares if he is a terrorist. Criminals that are abused and have their rights violated are entitled to compensation and an apology also. People who are violating their rights are human rights abusers, which is on an equal plane or worse. Defending against a foreign invasion is honourable. You just slap a lable on, fact is he wasn't a terrorist, he wasn't targetting civillians. The Canadian Forces killed more innocent civillians than Omar Khadr did. Get it straight. You are speaking from a fantasy standpoint not based in the real world. You people are disgusting if you think that human rights abuses are ever "ok", they arn't. People like you should be shot. People with that position are a disease on humanity that must be cured.

McGuinty has a defacto minormajority hence the had.... this McGuinty government isn't a McGuinty Government. This is not a normal prorouge it is a leadership change --- and likely a cabinet change.. he fired himself. Stephen Harper's government clearly and repeatedly abused the process that's why it was an issue. He hasn't had popular support. That is the issue, his usages were contrary to public opinion. He is a partisan leader, and his party does not hold a majorty of the public viewpoints. People arn't going to be upset about leadership quiting due to complaints from the public. Provincial government around here is just arguing about dollars and cents. It is absurd really.

Russia has a strong and proud military army and airforce heritage. For a country 1/10th the population of NATO they did remarkably well at playing the antihero. Of course for Canada to afford those displays it would need to buy used Russian weapons stocks. You can not in anyway attack Russian national pride, your argument is false, Russians are proud to be Russian even if they are liviving in another former soviet state. Your argument there is simply wrong. As a secondary note there were a lot of factors at play with the breakup of the USSR, but in many ways the USSR, CIS are still marginal forces, the simple mater was no where until the creation of the European Union did you see a country so large hold so many diverse ethnic groups together. Canada put its ethnic groups on reserves and treated them as second class citizens, in the USSR they were free and equal, as long as they spoke Russian. These characterizations of NAZI Germany or the USSR as non function are simply false. For the conditions the countries faced they perservered tremendously well. NAZI Germany was a power house rising from ashes, USSR was a major work player for nearly a century, Canada's growth and still even today lays in the shadow of the remaints of those states. How long has the EU existed before near monetary union breakdown? How much longer does the US have under its own financial failure and foreign ownership by China and Japan? Attacking the "flag" of those states when your own states have done much the same but better at covering it up is of little merit to the topic, that being the ludicrist notion of applying racial stereotypes to immigration allowances. Each is merited of its circumstances but I don't see the conservative party raising to questions with a hitler salute, so I don't see why they should enact the same racial stereotypes as the NAZI's.

They had majorities.

Its what they wanted to do, they have a majority who the hell cares. Its not like parliament has mattered anyway. People voted conservative now the 90% of Canadians who didn't have to sit and watch it for another 3 years. No one has had the balls since McGee to resolve problems like these. Then you wonder why Americans make fun of Canadians behind their backs. The only consolation in all this is if Flaherty had J.K. Rowling develope a story from the items that were sought to be worked into the installments. The only sad part is that those 32% of voting Canadians may actually do it again. The only way this can be resolved is setting up human sized mouse traps next to signs that say stand here for a reduction on the GST and other taxes. This same mechanism could be used to reduce healthcare costs by replacing the sign with cheese.

Ontario is only running a deficit because they won't privatize health and cut the public service down to a skeleton crew and reform OW to a productive workfare program. Likewise they need to reform the education system to be a pay for seating by parents, to subsidize high education system costs offloaded to the government. More initaitive in private schools needs to be taken. The province funds them too much for not having any authority beyond the education act. If boards are so individual and trustees elected locally it should be local government that raises the vast majority of expenses for salaries and buildings. Education shouldn't be costing the provincial goverment. When you take these segments out it provides a lot of room for fiscally repsonible management of provincial responsibilities. Paying down the debt should be a #4 priority and done through an actual debt surtax. If it costs 10 billion a year to service debt it means you need to pay more than 10 billion a year to pay just to keep it level not counting deficit spending. That is $1000/person just to balance the debt... you are looking at a $3600 surtax minimum just for the debt paydown. This is $300 a month from each and everyone just to paydown the debt, it is mandatory. This of course would be offset for most by privatizing healthcare and instituting premium based health insurance plans except for those living under the poverty line. Finally about 85% of the provincial workforce is unneeded and can be eliminated by streamlining government process and removing redtape. Further cost savings can be done by making popular courts of first instance by electing magistrates. Creating a criminal tax, legalizing marijuana through provincial sales, and removing things like speed limits. Also free life insurance plans should be given to people of bad lifestyle that have not informed their insurance companies of their habits, with a 10% cut for their families. Privatization of all provincial highways with toll gates and/or automated tagging would raise hundreds of millions of dollars. A ban on paper use in government where the person using the paper had to pay for it. Turning jails into labour camps. Increasing royalties on resource extration to include a 50% surtax on profit from extraction in addition to default rates Also cutting every non necesary program period. This is what it takes to be fiscally responsible politicians won't own up and stop the program pork barrelling though. Other things like shutting down mental health facilities, and leaving it to pennetentaries as the sole source if the mentally issued got into actual criminality. One system stream only. Oh and no private contracts with companies period for anything period. Ontario has more than enough private slave labour and if among its 300000 employees it can't find the expertise to solve its own needs they are hopeless.

Geo Engineering off Canada's West Coast (Haida Gwaii)
login replied to GostHacked's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
I think the move was good but monitoring over the mid term will be needed. So far all we see is benefits from the action. What I think our brain power should go to is methods to offset algae bloom should it become too large. Afterall if we can make bloom we can stop bloom. At th every least this probably counter acted the exon valdez damages to the region. This is benefiting the fisheries, the east coast could use an ounce of this too. We should be thanking the first nations for this not attacking them. Its not like the oceans arn't warming due to climate change and the melting of the polar ice caps anyway. What we could see here is just what the whole planet will see as a result of climate change. Also the key point here is it was done in "international waters" Must also note that indeed legitimate research is ongoing on the project and this would exempt it from the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (EPA 1999). Its not like the Canadian government has Environmental Scientists to do this work on its own. -
McGuinty Resigns as Premier of Ontario

It is very safe to say that Mr. McGuinty at the least feels no regret that the prorogation has aborted a potential contempt proceeding against two of his cabinet ministers. -http://www.theglobeandmail.com/commentary/editorials/mcguinty-should-reverse-prorogation-action/article4619905/?cmpid=rss1- 185 replies

This is just idiotic, money doesn't equate enterprise. Take this scenario Poor people earn less than rich people Employers don't want to pay more Employers claim lower wages let them hire more people More people taking lower wages forces people getting too high wages to take lower wages. This expands productivity and causes GDP growth. So the key is simply to make training cost less then hire poor people. Better yet it will keep people on good behaviour knowing that Iqmoud is gonna take their job if they get sloppy. As such poor immigrants actually IMPROVE the work environment and make Canada more productive. Plus it also creates a boom in consumer goods sector growth, which could allow for more regionalized industry and service sector provision due to increased domestic population. Canada underwent enormous growth during the Industrial Revolution fueled by poor drunk immigrants, perhaps even your relatives. Poor immigrants are good, and you seem to be perpetuating an uneducated biased position. The immigration just needs safe gaurds like work camps in the north of Canada. Accepting rich immigrants is also good of course, but we should be warry of letting all our enterprise being bought out by non loyal individuals. If people are making money in those places, what does it say of them... The challenge is making sure productivity is directed well enough to prevent shortages in specific required goods and that it matches export capacities and demands, as well as domestic demands and filling import needs competetively to out compete foreign products being imported.

Fact is, it is a big world, the illeterate can be literized, its a goal that Canadians should have for the world, the sick can be healed, the uneducated educated, and well disabled people may still find a place in society. Your just not up for the job because you don't know how to do it. The benefits people can give, just need to insure its not only a one way street, that is all that matters. It is negligence and alienation and abuse that you people support and you deserve your failure for that reason alone. Accept your failure and shut up.

http://news.national...-war-spillover/ Check it out western forces are deployed in part... I think they are already in Syria, however this places the number of special forces to a notable number. We also know of the border mobilizations by Turkey, and the fact Turks have been found dead in Syria within attack groups, and there is further photo evidence that Turks are involved in the attacks on the Syrian governmental forces.

Communications records, such as wire transfers. Problem was he was a "tripple agent" working for Pakistan, Britain and the United States. So who ordered the initialization. (A birdie told me another story, in that the orders were actually an accidental false flag initialization, activated at multiple points to allow it to occur which included Norad, the WTC and specific intelligence cells. But what is more bleiveable some rich dude in the country you want to invade or an accidental intialization that resulted in the death of 5000 people?) -

The engineer makes more off the system the government has provided. The police and military protect more of his capital. He has more economic interest, gains services provided through maintaining the taxi drivers children etc... it is all a matter of perspective, everyone gains equally and pays equally based on the system that exists. BENEFITS ARE NOT SOLEY MATERIAL.AND LAW IS NOT ALL OF SOCIETY.

The only real argument here says :if the government is incapable of managing Canadians why expect them to be able to manage immigrants. Export murder when you want it but shirk at responsibility when they ask.
