  1. The SCC decision overturned a very narrow and specific portion of laws prohibiting assisted suicide. It gave parliament a year to prepare wording that would allow the change for a select few in very limited circumstances while still protecting the rights of vulnerable people and those who desire to live to the end of their natural lives. Parliament, not the SCC, will amend our laws, therefore it should not be a whipped vote. Just Trudeau broken promises.
  2. I agree Levant is a blowhard and often hypes up an issue but for the most part he does report on a lot that the MSM will not. e.g. the cost of the climate conference through documents obtained via FOI. As far as I know, no other outlet questioned the cost or asked for documents, had this been Harper we know they would have done so. It would be better if he reported an issue in a more straight forward manner without hyperventilating about it, but at least we do get to see another side of an issue that we wouldn't otherwise see.
  3. Trudeau has no right to force a politician to vote on a life/death issue which should not be a political decision and is hardly an every day one at that, the SC ruling notwithstanding. The last life/death question was on capital punishment in ’87, although Mulroney was opposed personally he did not whip the vote. The abolitionists won anyway. Trudeau is turning out to be every bit as dictatorial as Harper was supposed to be. Text of the Motion That, in the opinion of the House, all Members of Parliament should be allowed to vote freely on all matters of conscience.... http://www.parl.gc.ca/Parliamentarians/en/members/Ed-Komarnicki(25513)/Motions Trudeau voted for this motion just over 7 months ago and now – he’s announced he is whipping vote on Assisted Suicide., Guess they were dying to whip it
  4. Looks like the C-35 is back on the radar again.

      Whatever happens, Canada will figure out how to screw up the procurement...again.

      As A. Coyne in the NP says: another Liberal broken promise has arrived. This time the issue is the F-35 fighter jet- must be cognitive dissonance

  5. Looks like the CPC motion to “condemn any and all attempts” by Canadian groups to support the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions of Israel movement, is on it’s way to passing in Parliament. & rightly so.

  6. Today Liberals voted against accepting a report from their own Finance Canada officials because the report tells an uncomfortable truth: The Conservative Party left the Liberals with a $1 billion surplus, and in less than 100 days that entire surplus has been squandered by the Liberals.

      Shady still thinks there was a surplus. Some folks just seem to fall for that smoke and mirrors stuff I guess.

  7. He didn't actually say that. That was a misquoted Liberal attack ad which is lapped up and repeated as gospel by the left for their own propaganda purposes he said this at the Conservative conference in 2004: "We can create a country built on solid Conservative values, not on expensive Liberal promises, a country the Liberals wouldn't even recognize, the kind of country I want to lead." Quite different in context.
  8. Right... English or French language skills generally result in better paying jobs, poor language skills limits uccess. Manitoba http://www.immigratemanitoba.com/speaking-of-success-1/ When it comes to determining the degree of success a newcomer will enjoy in Canada, nothing trumps language. http://www.canadaboundimmigrant.com/breakingnews/article.php?id=720
  9. If you get right down to the nub of the matter... they are flooding the country with refugees whom they will fast track to citizenship so they can vote Liberal... couple this with their promise to gerry mander the electoral system in their favour and what have you got... It's all about getting the vote, next thing they will reduce the voting age to maybe 16. http://www.hilltimes.com/news/news/2016/02/08/mccallum-promises-radical-changes-to-citizenship-act/45180?mcl=&muid= Liberal MPs told The Hill Times that although they want new immigrants to acquire proficiency in both or at least one of the two official languages of Canada, it’s also a question of fairness, saying the language requirements disenfranchise new immigrants from their right to take part in the political process.
  10. I thought it was about the Liberals doing away with the language requirement (adequate knowledge) for citizenship. Eliminating any language requirement at all would result in an under class of citizens, it's worked well now for some time, it should not be changed.
  11. Just do a search of MLW for Bruce Gorcyca this is all the same conspiracy nonsense posted by multiple personalities last year. All blogs posted on this are written by the same person. This should be in conspiracy theories and all that.
  12. Europe & Merkel must decide between orderly suspension of migrant intakes and disorderly collapse.

  13. The thing is, most of these male migrants invading Europe are not genuine refugees and, they are not claiming asylum in the first safe country, they are forcing their way through to the countries with the best benefits. They should be expelled. http://www.irishtimes.com/news/world/europe/most-fleeing-to-europe-are-not-refugees-eu-official-says-1.2511133 A judge this time is saying that the Calais migrants stranded in Calais are not refugees in ANY SENSE http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/639362/migrants-calais-refugees-sense-immigration
  14. If you read the Euro news, most of the (mostly male) migrants are not refugees in any sense. He says six in ten migrants not entitled to asylum. Then an immigration Justice McCloskey says of the Calais migrants, they are more likely to be migrants who decline to make a claim for asylum in France, instead favouring Britain because of the "advantages" it offer. They should be shipping back migrants who are not genuine refugees and enforcing the rules which say they must claim asylum in the first safe country they enter.
  15. U.K. Politicians face alcohol ban as new offices governed by ISLAM as the new offices they will be moving into are ruled by Sharia law. Crazy. Sure they can live without booze but it’s the principle

      It’s actually a few buildings, but what's more it was a means of obtaining much needed cash by Chanceller Osborne, not a means of supporting Islam bonds, it was accessing money from Islamic sources. Lay with dogs and get fleas.

      It's a God given right in the western world for politicians to be able to drink at work.

      It's not about drinking! The alcohol is incidental.

  16. I have an Amazon Firestick with Kodi installed I got on EBay.. I thought I could cut the cord too, at least for all except basic channels but I find it stutters and freezes a lot. I increased our cable speed knowing I would need it so that is not the issue.
  17. Yup, what a faux pas at an MLK event... who is going to tell her she can't sing... did she have her hand over her heart too. As for Trudeau's vacation, I don't care what he pays privately, but I do notice the CBC doesn't seem to be using the freedom of information act to find out who else was on the plane and how much security there was etc. etc. guess it doesn't matter when it's a liberal.
  18. Parking at Toronto Sunnybrook is $24.00 a day, don't think that includes evenings. It's extortion, but they just rent out the lot to another organization which charges the exorbitant rates.
  19. Mass sex attacks by migrant males are not conjecture, they are verified in numerous cities. Speaking out pedophilia http://tribune.com.pk/story/1027742/settled-matter-bill-aiming-to-ban-child-marriages-shot-down/ ISLAMABAD: Another move to ban child marriages in Pakistan has fallen at the first hurdle. The bill to prohibit underage marriages has been withdrawn after the Council of Islamic Ideology (CII) declared it un-Islamic. The ruling party lawmaker, who moved the bill, withdrew her proposal on Thursday following staunch resistance from the council, which advises the legislature whether or not a certain law is Sharia-compliant.
  20. As a female I’m disappointed at western people who try to whitewash and cover up what is happening. With a possible millions more attempting to migrate in the near future, it sure doesn’t bode well for European females. It’s been quite clear that large numbers of these male migrants who make up the majority (71%) invading Europe, are assaulting women, now women can’t go swimming apparently for fear of being assaulted. These assaults and attacks are not a one off, they are happening frequently in various countries but not reported as there has been an admitted cover up. Even now we have an incident were two young male migrants were apprehended when they stoned two transgender women calling them ‘whores who must be stoned’. One of the larger issues here is that of the cover up and not just by Germany. Covering up the situation and attempting to lessen or whitewash what is happening just enables and encourages the migrants to continue with this whole new dimension of crime. The EU’s quota system rehouse migrants has failed according to Juncker, the president of the EC who has blamed “arrogant” refugees for the failure of his re-housing policy. How much are we prepared to tolerate in the name of diversity and ‘cultural relativity’, how much should women have to tolerate or be expected to change to appease ‘migrant sensitiveness’? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/germany/12095984/Muslim-men-considered-us-to-be-whores.html "If liberal Europe wants to continue with the current level of Muslim immigration it needs to have an urgent debate about how much cultural relativity it is prepared to tolerate
  21. Oh Gee, a code of conduct now for women in Germany to 'prevent future assaults'- what's next - all women should wear niqabs to as not to offend or excite migrants

      the deal means 3,000 jobs in Ontario. I wonder if Wynne called her buddy Justin on this one?

  23. If Harper had taken a vacation with nannies and security etc. etc. we would've been told about every penny-- but media covers for the Liberals

      The Squid leads the cheer again.....

      I have no quibble with security for Trudeau, Harper or any PM- at work or on vacation they are vulnerable and at risk.

      But why do you need babysitters -and at public expense- while on vacation with your family?

    3. WestCoastRunner

      WestCoastRunner

      They received an allowance to run their household. No different from Harper. They chose to direct some of those funds to a nanny. Get real guys.

    4. overthere

      So you'd have no problem at all if the Trudeaus chose to take friends, neighbours, party contributoirds on vacation with them too, at public expense?

  24. Trudeaus on vacation in St. Kitts but not a peep from N.A. media on costs/security etc. We know if this had been Harper it would've been all over the news, Media covering much... hmmm
