The roadmap was to go from one area to the next. I know you don't like it because you want it all done at once but that is what the parties agreed to. Hamas led the attacks from all areas because they wish to push Israelis out of the entire middle east. You believe they are right in this approach? Yes or no? Your position is anything but clear except that you believe Israel is to blame. You can't even admit that Hamas is a terrorist organization. Answered it many times. Israel has agreed to be part of the process. Hamas has not and has sent young boys and girls into civilian areas to kill themselves and others. That is what I call cognitive dissonance from supporters of Hamas. Admit that Hamas has not been part of the process for peace. They don't just want the end of settlements. They want the end of Israel. They are prepared to kill over and over again to it. It is important because you believe that Hamas is not a terrorist organization. I have explained it over and over again. You want all settlements ended immediately and think Canada should disengage. Your unilateral approach ignores that the process that was agreed to by all parties save for Hamas. I support the process of one step at a time. It removed the settlements from Gaza but there was not a reduction in violence which Israelis believed was essential to their security. Hamas has made its goal the removal of Israelis from the Middle East. Your choice of not recognizing their terrorism and their objectives therein is revealing.

The samples are too small. Even Angus Reid has said it hard to get a handle on some of the areas without a larger sample. Better to go with Ekos's rolling poll where the sample is larger.

The policy of Canada has been to aid those that are suffering. And they do seem to be sufferring from bad government in Gaza.

The accomplice you have makes you an access.

It is inferred by the indication that you don't think they are terrorist organization. Canada doesn't support settlements on disputed lands. We do support that Israel has agreed to the process of reducing violence, two states and the settlements issue. Hamas does not. They want Israelis tossed from all of the Middle East.

So you would not send anything, right?

Show me where you sai they were a terrorist organization. I said clearly that Canada did not and does not support Hamas as long as they advocate the end of all any Israelis in the Middle East. What we have done is give $300 million in direct aid to the people of Palestine.

Thanks for that. I'll pass your quote on to those who suffer at the hands of terrorists.

I meant at the border for EU and Americans. Once people are in Canada, the policy should be not to accept any refugees from EU and the States. Period. I see no reason why this can't be expedited within our present system.

Which you seem to support.

So you don't believe they are a terrorist organization and it is your policy that we accept their ways.

In practical terms, the settlements ended in Gaza. What didn't end was the violent attacks from Gaza into Israel. I have told you the facts are but you can't seem to control your response of all or nothing. That is not what the various groups involved agreed to. It was always step by step. Geographic area to geograhic area. You haven't. Your focus has been on settlements and you've indicated you think that saying Hamas is a terrorist organization is unfair. It is my contention that you believe that Hamas is not a terrorist organization.

And I confront you on whether you think you think Hamas is a terrorist organization.

You mean all the land? Is that your policy? For Israel to leave the Middle East? That is certainly the policy of Hamas.

We could throw the tea in the harbour and cancel her visit.

I think you forget that Israel agreed to the process of peace talks to end violence and begin ending settlements elsewhere. Hamas didn't. They want all the land and were prepared to use terrorism to get it. Quit pretending that you don't know where you stand on terrorism and if you believe Hamas is a terrorist organization.

Latest poll from Angus Reid: http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/article/668272 Pretty much all within the margin of error from last time. Heavy support for the visa requirements. 64% think the government is doing a poor job on immigration issues and will likely be looking for solutions to the problems.

Actually, you can. If they come from a country deemed safe, they can be sent back immediately.

Your dismissal of terrorism attacks is revealing.

This was something that was discussed here a long time ago.

It didn't matter that they were elected as long as they continued to support suicide attacks.

Which means it was not the government of Britain.

This didn't come from the British government.

They re-imposed visas because the Czechs didn't qualify as a safe country until they joined the EU. They do now and Canada already has rules in place to send refugees back to countries that are deemed safe. That is why the EU does not accept refugees from each other. Since 2007, I have wondered for some time why the Tories didn't apply that rule.

As I said, the Tories should have made it clear they would not accept refugees from EU countries before lifting the visas.
