What this proves is that you don't open links posted by members who don't share your ideology and mindset. Yet, you expect posters of all opinions to look at your linked articles. Chalk up another reason why discussions with you are a waste of time. And in any case, I was talking to Hydra but you decided you wanted to butt in add your two cents. I add that cause I don't want to leave the impression that I engage you in debate.

Look again at the link I posted in post # 5927. It is in fact a report dated June 13, 2017 but you tried to pass it off as 2011 data. Here I'll link it again. http://www.statcan.gc.ca/daily-quotidien/170613/dq170613b-eng.htm

Where in those numbers does it show that reported hate crimes against Muslims is higher than reported hate crimes against Jews? You did, after all, claim that reported hate crimes against Muslims was the highest in all reported hate crimes.

I think you need to do more research on the western world's reaction to events occurring in Venezuela.

Putin leaves me cold. I've got the hots for Justin Trudeau. Can't wait to get my very own JT t-shirt. Oh, and did anyone notice? Sophie is riding on the moose. LOL

It's been a while since we were treated to seeing the Prime Minister's nipples. We didn't even get a glimpse in the pride parades he attended. Well now we can gaze upon his titties as long as we wish since Iceland is now selling a t-shirt showcasing a bare chested Trudeau. How soon will we be able to buy one in Canada? http://etcanada.com/news/245374/iceland-is-selling-a-canada-shirt-with-a-shirtless-justin-trudeau-on-it/ Now the pressing question. Should Trudeau receive royalties from the sale of the t-shirts? LOL

I rarely read your shrill posts full of one-liners meant to insult members. Please provide more recent stats to back your claim that reported hate crimes against Muslims now surpass reported hate crimes against Jews.

Coincidentally, I was reading an article on hate crimes against Jews and looked up some stats. Canada's 2011 National Household Survey found there were 1,053,945 Muslims or about 3.2% of the population. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_in_Canada Canada's Jewish population is around 385,000, less than 1% of the population. http://www.cija.ca/resource/canadian-jewry/basic-demographics-of-the-canadian-jewish-community/ Hate crimes targeting the Jewish population accounted for 13% of all hate crimes, followed closely by hate crimes targeting the Muslim population (12%). http://www.statcan.gc.ca/daily-quotidien/170613/dq170613b-eng.htm I'm not a statistician but from those numbers I came to the conclusion that per capita Jews had more reported hate crimes against them than reported hate crimes against Muslims. If I'm reading this wrong I would welcome being set straight.

I have been following developments in that country. I spent a wonderful 3 week holiday in Venezuela in pre-Chavez days. At the time they had just built their modern high speed commuter system in Caracas which the people kept praising. in addition to rampant poverty in recent years the crime rate has skyrocketed. I particularly recall the following. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/arrested-killing-venezuela-ex-husband-article-1.1569648 No doubt tourism has taken a hit, yet another blow to their economy. This once vibrant country has been brought to its knees.

JT regrets his words and feels bad about how his words were interpreted. Sometimes it's best not to shoot off your mouth in foreign media just to satisfy your need for fame and personal gratification. https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2017/08/01/trudeau-regrets-comments-about-brazeau-in-interview-with-rolling-stone.html This is a controversy 100 percent of JT's doing and First Nations leaders are not about to let it go.

bush-cheney2004 is fully entitled to change his/her gender anytime he/she feels like it. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/apr/20/harvard-tells-students-gender-identity-can-change-/ We're talking Harvard here, not some unknown university. With this endorsement I think more and more individuals will avail themselves of this flexibility.

It's your type of reaction that makes discussing politics with you a waste of my time.

Take a pill.

Perhaps this is why Justin is grooming his eight year old daughter Ella Grace for a future role in politics. She joined Trudeau's act at pride parades and this past weekend on board a train to Calgary. Expect more of the same in the months to come. We haven't seen the end of the Trudeau dynasty. Welcome to my nightmare.

Gotta be quick hitting that edit button to remove gutter insults. Rue quoted eyeball's original post before he had a chance to amend it.

You forgot slicing off women's breasts. Or perhaps you now include this under torturing.

Oh generous one, is this to be my one "last chance"? The very last chance I have to get into your good books. I don't want or need your approval so I will decline your invitation.

I colour you insignificant.

You are unable to answer my initial question as to whether you can prove that what members posted in this thread is hearsay, as you claimed, and so you are trying desperately to change the channel. Look who's going around in circles now.

Therefore you acknowledge that you cannot prove that what members posted in this thread is hearsay.

Have you not learned yet that when you contribute to internet forums, asking for someone to prove a negative is a no-go? So I ask you again. Where is your proof that what members posted in this thread is hearsay? I'll clarify for you: that question is not asking you to prove a negative.

Where is your proof that what is being talked about here is hearsay?

Whatever. Keep up with the discussion and you'll know what the rest of us are talking about.
