More rocket attacks !!

Whoops, didn't realize that. Dre: thanks for the explanation

Okay, I guess I'm not clear on this still. Is this a move to regulate the written content on the internet, or to do with regulating software, hardware, applications or whatever ? More here http://www.prisonplanet.com/new-bill-gives-obama-kill-switch-to-shut-down-the-internet.html

What is different to parliament shutting down this summer than any summer previous to this, they always do !! It is also true that MPs do work a lot outside of parliamentary hours - nothing here LOL

She's not 'taking credit' for anything, this is an op ed piece in the Star, so I wouldn't impute anything to the piece that wasn't there. How do you know she's in chat rooms and on forums?

I'm not clear on exactly what it is they want to do or how they want to regulate it, but it sure sounds like 'big brother' to me and more gov't interference. http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=68003 FCC Moves to Regulate Internet--Even Though the Law Calls for Internet to be 'Unfettered by Federal or State Regulation' cont.

I don't see the problem, they can only ask for papers if they have allready been stopped, they can't just walk up to someone and ask to see the papers. What on earth is wrong with trying to control illegal immigration, and what part of illegal do people not understand !

I think the RC's had them too, but I don't know how often they were used. We should take note of events in the U.K. http://womenagainstshariah.blogspot.com/2010/06/hundreds-expected-for-sharia-law-rally.html

What does anyone on here do about anything they post on here - nothing most likely, it's a discussion in case you didn't know. In the culture that would likely change the status quo imposing different values than the Canadian norm, many, many women are not free to choose. If they do - well - there are always 'honour' killings. !

As Rosie Dimmano said in the Star some time ago: "there was a legitimate fear that fundamentalist practices as codified in sharia law — even more worrisomely, as interpreted by individual imams — would leave women vulnerable to judgments founded on religious texts that clash with Canadian law and values." This is the worry, first one little bit, then another leading to different rules for different religions with a good possibility that women would be not be treated in accordance with Canadian law.

Sharia Law is a political and religious law denoting an Islamic way of life, something not recognized here, nor should it be. While it might be interesting or beneficial to learn about other country's systems it is only the tip of the iceberg, incrementalism if you will, steps towards additional pieces of Sharia being introduced. Canada's marriage and divorce laws differ from Muslim law, should we change those or start introducing courses on how to divorce your wife in one easy step. If a Muslim dies without a will in Ontario, the estate would be divided according to Ontario law as opposed to Muslim law where women are not treated the same. Should we offer courses in how to circumvent Canadian laws?

Here ya go, we can now to to school to learn about Sharia Law. It seems that Sharia is becoming just another part of our pluralistic or multicultural society, so better get in on this and get learning ! #speechless-smiley-040# The course isn't free, but all colleges are partially funded by the gov't - our tax dollars at work Introduction to Islamic Finance & Investment http://www.ontariolearn.com/index.php?page=course_1092 What's next, Introduction to How to Wear a Burkha :angry:

Israel has a right to exist, peacefully, if Hamas cannot accept that, then they should leave - peacefully and let everyone else get on with their lives.

So far I haven't seen the Star opining that it is a conflict of interest, so it must not be. -

Something tells me you fall prey to the Liberal common wisdom and read nothing but the Star LOL

Well said !

LOL

I agree, there isn't, it's all biased left wing reporting LOL

Actually we haven't seen the report on this yet, I'll reserve judgement until we do, however, all of this is speculation, but at least you do recognize that Canada is in a far better financial position than most of the G20 LOL the last statement has nothing to do with good gov't or spending.

Oh sure, of course, why didn't I think of that LMAO Actually there are plenty of left wing opinions out there, so a conservative leaning station would be refreshing. - something obviously the left doesn't want people to hear.

I agree about it not qualifying as lobbying, unless applying for a license to CRTC is classed as lobbying - is it? The lefties are sure in a howl over this one LOL what is it they are afraid of, why don't they want opposing opinions?

Agree with Argus, the opposition forgets to mention all of that, 1.2 million was on a pavillion promoting Canada.

This is a current article. If there is a referendum and they vote no, then this means we can and should stop pandering to them. http://www.nationalpost.com/news/Duceppe+tells+world+another+referendum+coming/3144364/story.html

Duceppe is gearing up for another referendum on separation, I don't think he'll get it, but I see elsewhere that the lefties are blaming this on Harper. Ho Hum - LOL http://www.muchmormagazine.com/2010/04/duceppe-begins-the-first-leg-of-a-cross-country-tour-to-get-canadians-opinions-about-quebec-sovereignty/

I thought it was funny and to the point. The propaganda arm of Hamas is going full throttle, Israel needs to fight back.
