Stalin was very right-wing and extremely so as evidenced by the utter lack of anything progressive in his approach to governance. All his generals, union bosses and apparatchik safely ensconced to his right and everyone else left out in the cold to the left of that.
Progressives in post revolutionary France would have immediately recognized what they were looking at. Conservatives OTOH would have been as oblivious as usual.
This has to be one of the most factually inaccurate posts I have come across.

IIRC, it was actually the radical leftist feminists Andrea Dworkin and Catherine MacKinnon who asserted that "all sex is rape" and not actually Steve King who came up with that.
In the case of Andrea Dworkin, I can see why she became a radical feminist. She was mentally ill, and knew how to game the system. She constantly lied about Men abusing her, and was celibate for much of her life, which takes years off one's life. She also blamed her failing health on imaginary sexual abuse she had suffered over the years.

I have worked with ironworkers in Ft. Mac who are on 28 on, 4 off cycle of 12s. That gives them $230k for a year. NOW you know why they get passed over. For someone with basically no training, few skills and little repsonsibility, that is ridiculous
What an ignorant thing to say. I would love to see you work away from friends and family in some remote work camp up north, 28 days straight for 12 hours/day. Most people can't cut it. Unless you think some egghead University Professor teaching Woman's studies deserves more, while working 1 fraction of what trades people do, in the nice confines of the city with all the perks. Talk about elitism.
"NOW you know why they get passed over. For someone with basically no training, few skills and little repsonsibility, that is ridiculous"
You do realize it takes a ton of intelligence and effort to become a red seal tradesman, but keep on looking down upon the working class if it makes you feel better.

First, it was BC resident Jonathan "Jessica" Yaniv that has been gaming the system. Now, a 28 year old man has filed a Human Rights complaint with the Province of Alberta, since he claims he was discriminated against due to his age and sex, when he answered an ad posted by a single Dad wanting a babysitter. The complainant, has previously taken citizens to the Human Rights Tribunal for the exact same thing, and lost. Keep in mind, the tab of the complainant is picked up by the Human Rights Tribunal, so it's a no lose situation!
Todd said in an email he doesn’t want to speculate on possible motives but was thankful for the help after he reached out to the JCCF. “There have been many sleepless nights,” he said on Tuesday. “I did not realize that people could object to me finding out all the relevant information I can about a potential babysitter, including their age and sex. I thought I was doing what was best for my young children.” Todd, who is self-employed, said while he rarely uses babysitters, he’s reluctant to try again because of this experience.
“Just trying to learn enough about a potential new babysitter can get me in trouble and I need to ensure that my children are safe,” he added. In the complaint, dated Sept. 1, 2017, Cyrynowski said he received a message 10 minutes after applying to the job posting asking for his age and gender.
“I told him I’m male and 28 years old,” he wrote. “I never heard back from him since.”
This is not the first time Cyrynowski has filed a human rights complaint. A similar case dating back to May 23, 2014, involved a mother posting an ad for a babysitter for her five-year-old son. Court documents show her ad listed a preference for an older woman with experience to look after her son. When Cyrynowski replied to the ad, he was told that she was looking for a female. Cyrynowski filed his complaint a few days later on May 26. The court case went all the way up to the Supreme Court of Canada where it was ultimately dismissed in May this year.

Interesting that this wont get called out on by certain forum members who like to complain every step of the way regarding Islam. Denoucing this would be a good step, but I doubt we'll see that from the 'usual suspects' ..
I find your statement quite ironic, considering the fact that if this was a terror attack perpetrated by Muslims, all the Progressives on the forum would be dead silent.

It always goes down well when the Government treats it's own citizens like second class citizens, while importing foreign labour or materials, when it's good for a companies bottom line:
For example, Demosten said, he and other workers were horrified when a foreign worker took a blow torch to a propane tank to defrost it. Others intervened to prevent an explosion.
"That would probably have killed him and hurt people around him. That's the kind of things these people are doing," said Demosten.
Johnny Demosten and Leslie Jennings, journeyman ironworkers in the oilsands, go public about temporary foreign workers hired by Saipem Canada to work at the Husky Sunrise site. (CBC)
The tradesmen also claim several Canadians with better qualifications have been passed over for jobs, while foreign workers from Europe continued to show up.
"We had probably 60 ironworkers come to take the jobs from Canadians," said Jennings.

The U.S. purchased the Virgin Islands from Denmark in 1917 for $25,000,000....just one acquisition in a long list.
....but because Trump suggests another purchase, he is demented ?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_territorial_acquisitions_table
Those islands were very small, and the time Denmark sold the Islands was at a time where European powers were beginning to dismantle their Colonial Territories. This is a massive island that would become easily the largest state, with huge deposits of various minerals and oil/gas. Greenland residents have even come out and said they have no desire to leave Denmark, and join America.
In other Trump news, he is proclaiming himself the "King of Israel" and denouncing Jews who vote Democratic as "traitors."

Yes but you're a real Conservative not an irrational meme-whiffer.
Also, NYT points out that as Trump blames the Fed for his recession, last year's documents show that current interest rates are actually lower than they thought.
The New York Times is not credible news. It used to be, until left-leaning socialists infiltrated it. It's nearly as bad as Vice.

What is historically accurate about a projection/assumption?
You do not see the parallels between Jews returning to Israel and overtaking Palestinian land, and Europeans arriving in Canada, an overtaking First Nations land?
Instead of boycotting Israel, perhaps you should look in the mirror, and clean your own back yard. Considering most countries are or have been guilty of the exact same thing that Israel is guilty of, maybe boycott buying any good, and move to Northern BC, and live in a remote cabin with no electricity.

Ironic, considering European Countries and the UN looked the other way when Arab Countries ethnically cleansed nearly 1,000,000 Sephardi Jews from North Africa and the Middle East in the aftermath of the 1948 War Of Independence.

Bruce Bawer is a journalist and writer who has written extensively about how the media in Europe has undermined freedom of speech, out of fear of Muslim reprisal.
The riots over the Mohammed cartoons are the best example of this and I don't think most people understand how it impacted democratic freedom of speech.
For many Western supporters of Islam, freedom of speech must take a backseat to Muslims feeling offended. I don't think they have fully thought this through to its logical end. Freedom of speech has allowed religion to be criticized - rightly so. Sharia law insists that Islam is not to be criticized and to do so means death. A lot of mainstream media is towing the Islamic line.
It's interesting to watch how every time there's a major terrorist act, the media is quick to call in the "backlash ploy." - innocent Western Muslims suddenly fear a "backlash" - neatly shifting focus away from real acts of violence against non-Muslims by Muslims, to imaginary acts of violence, again making Muslims the victims in even the terrorism they themselves commit. Victimhood is huge in Islam.
This is what the Palestinians are doing.
This is precisely what is happening in France. The country has the largest Jewish population in Europe at 600,000. Unfortunately, Muslims make up 6,000,000 people in France. As a result, Jews have been beaten in the streets for being Jews. You cannot wear any type of religious gear in public if you are Jewish, in fear of being mobbed spit on, harasse, or beaten by Islamic gangs. To a lesser extent, this also occurs in the UK, Germany, Holland. However, French Jews are now leaving the country for Israel and North America in fear of their lives.
The French Government has repeatedly denied that Muslim Antisemitism is a problem in France, for fear of upsetting the Muslims.

I have a freind who is a big supporter of Palestine and I've found that a lot of what she posts against Israel turn out to be lies.
This one for instance: (Just one, I know of many because I read blogs more than mainstream media)
On Sept. 30, 2000, Charles Enderlin reported for France's TV channel - France 2 - that a 12 year old Palestinian boy was shot and killed by the IDF, dying in agony. He provided a 55 second clip showing a boy and his father hiding behind some barrels. The footage went viral and the boy was touted as a symbol of Palestinian victimhood and Israeli brutality. The Palestinian cameraman who filmed it testified that the boy was killed intentionally and in cold blood.
It wasn't until 2004 that 3 reporters were allowed to view the actual 27 minute long video and discovered that it mostly depicted Palestinians ACTING as if they had been shot and were dying and that there was no actual footage of the boy in his death throes. Comparison with other film from the same incident proved it was a hoax.
In 2006, 3 French reporters who reported on the hoax were charged with defamation and found guilty - clearly "good" lies are permitted and "bad" truths are punished.
The verdict was appealed and this time the judge asked to see the footage. The reporter was finally cleared in May, 2008.
The mainstream media reported very little after the initial accusations - the truth only came out in blogs. I made my friend aware of this when she recently posted of the "Mohammed al-Dura boy" who was shot by Israel.
The mainstream media is complicit in covering up what's really going on and Islam is getting better and better at manipulating the masses through the media towards Islamic sympathies. I rarely believe Palestine's version of events, until I've seen the proof.
Although I'm sure Israel engages in it's own share of brainwashing the public through mainstream media, I have difficulty faulting Israel - the Palestinian mandate is not to live peacefully next door to Israel. It is to destroy them.
Lets not forget the PLO strategically placed terrorist cells, which were designed to launch rockets into Israel, and recruit suicide bombers into ISrael, by placing them near Hospitals, daycare centres, elementary schools, nursing homes, etc. This is why I have no respect for these people. They are willing to put innocent lives into the line of fire, in order to gain International sympathy when the IDF inevitably launches counter-strikes against these belligerents.

Immigrants actually create jobs, and are technically less likely to leech off the system than Canadian-born residents. This has been proven time and time again. The only way Canada should realistically curb immigration, is to increase the birth rate by giving Canadians more incentive for having children.

I wonder of Winnipeg will become a major international transportation hub, once the Northwest Passage opens up, and the Government builds better infrastructure to accommodate the increase traffic at the Port of Churchill.

Sure? Question or challenge anything Zionist and one gets called an anti-semite. So, what else is new?
It took only a few commies to start the Bolshevik revolution in Russia. Probably they were only about 1.1% of the population. The Zionists may be small in number but they appear to just about run everything in our society. They seem to be everywhere in politics and the media, academia, and the entertainment industry and behind the many special minority interest groups out there and they can pretty much push whatever their leftist liberal communist program and agenda is that they want implemented. They have and own all the money.
Actually Omni and The_Squid control the media now. I tried to talk them out of it, but to no avail.
Time to Abolish Human Rights Tribunals
in Moral & Ethical Issues
Posted
That may be true, but just like the Yaniv case, where do we draw the line? I can see this being an issue if it was working at a summer camp, organized sports coaching, or even working at a day care. The problem with this case is:
1. The man put out an ad in kijiji looking for a babysitter. The 28 year old replies and states his age and gender. The father does not say "no I am looking for a woman under 25." He does not bother to respond. Regardless, the 28 year old takes the father to the Human Rights Tribunal, which coincidentally cover a complainant's legal fees, unlike real courts.
2. The 28 year old has tried this before, after losing a different babysitting case a few years back, appealing it all the way to the Supreme Court, which upheld the Tribunals decision.
3. Judging by the complainant's social media accounts, it looks like he has a history of nuisance lawsuits, and may be in danger of being declared a "vexatious litigant."
