Sorry, but there are fundamental differences between Christianity and Islam, and if you're incapable of understanding that then I'd say you're the one here who's ignorant.

The country is always governed by the "right-wing" because the "left-wing" is hopelessly detached from reality and incapable of governing properly. True governance requires a government to realistically address the issues that are important to the country's citizens, and so far "the left" has only managed to do so on occasion on the provincial level, and not with much success. When one looks at the ideological quagmire that the federal NDP has become, and the fact that the Greens are starting to go down the same road now that they are gaining prominance, it looks as though the "right-wing" status quo is basically going to be the reality ad infinitum.

There's two sides to every issue, and the thing that people like you fail to realize is the inherent desire within Islam spread, overwhelm, dominate and control cultures and societies that they come into contact with. You are hopelessly naive if you think that Muslims will simply integrate and become happy, productive liberalized citizens. Canada was founded on principles that evolved over centuries in Europe; these principles give us the rights, freedoms, and liberties that no other civilization has managed to attain; allowing people who hold a belief system that is so fundamentally opposed these principles and then naively expecting them to fully shed their indoctrinated beliefs for more enlightened ways is asking for trouble. Many may, to some degree or another, but there will always be a core who don't, and this group will be the genesis for future issues that could well have been avoided.

The price of wheat has, to the best of my knowledge, always been regulated to keep its price artifically low. The fact that farms can now produce crops that actually make it worthwhile to farm and pay off the debts that they've racked up so we can all eat cheap food is in a way a good thing, and I have no problem with paying a higher price for items such as bread.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL. Maybe you'd care to look at what's behind the whole ethanol thing--"eco-nuts" have little to do with it. Ethanol is produced by corporations, and so the industry functions no different than any other and thus we end up with the same old kinds of problems. Environmentalists have promoted ethanol as an alternative fuel, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find one that believes that ethanol is the solution to all our problems.

Funny, I thought that in a democracy people can vote for the political party that best represents their political outlook; once we start developing a mentality that accepts that voters should only have two, maybe three options then we become like the politcal joke south of the border.

Oh, was there an election in Alberta today? Interesting.

Evidently 20 years "service" doesn't do much for one's read comprehension. What exactly is so difficult about differentiating between immigrants in general and immigrants who have nationalistic sentiments towards their homeland?

Here's another one: http://thespec.com/News/Local/article/331679

I'm under the impression that the payments were made by developers all along the so-called Grand River Tract and that the government had advised them that the HDI has no legal right to be accepting such payments. I'm fairly certain that if what you say could be the case is in fact the case, this would have been revealed; I haven't heard anything since, though. Still, it's not a huge fee, so I can see why developers would be willing to pay a few thousand with the hope that it will exempt them from future "site security" situations. Whatever the case, it's extortion.

I believe that PMs are rank according to when they first served, which would make Sir John A. Canada's first PM only.

Yes, that's right, in my opening thread I stated: and then in another thread, I stated: Both statements are stating the exact same thing. A strongER attachment for one's country of origin is nationalistic, in my opinion, and is somewhat different than having fond memories or a feeling of attachment to that place.

Yes, I know what I'm talking about.

So apparently developers are actually paying "fees" to the HDI. Well, if that isn't an indication of the breakdown of the rule of law in the province, I don't know what is. Basically, any large group in a concentrated geographic area with a serious agenda can basically start functioning as a quasi-government. Kind of like Hezbollah in Lebanon. What a joke.

Pizza is actually quite unhealthy, as is most restaurant food. Personally I don't care to eat in restaurants knowing what kind of garbage happens behind the scenes. Nothing tastes better than a meal lovingly prepared by one's devoted and trustworthy mother/wife in the comfort of one's own home.

It's a strength? A balkanized society is a strength? Keep in mind I'm talking about "foreign nationalists," not immigrants.

So basically Canada is supposed to be an international violence-free political protest venue? Sorry, but I prefer (it to be) a country where all of my fellow citizens are Canadians through and through, regardless of where they come from; I want a country where I can trust my neighbours, and know that they are on side when it comes to what is in the best interests of the country in regards to certain basic things like foreign policy.

I never said anything about "feeling ,thought ande emotion from the former place"--I'm talking nationalistic sentiments that clearly belie a greater concern for "the homeland" than for Canada. We should not be having demonstrations by nationalistically-minded minority groups in this country trying to coerce OUR government into responding a certain way on a foreign policy matter.

Personally, whether or not you are married and whether or not you have children is not something I'm interested in knowing. If you want approval and/or praise for the fact that you style your personal life based on socially destructive trends, please take it somewhere else. Oh, and by the way, thanks for indirectly contributing to current trend towards islamification in this country...

Sorry, but I'm starting to get a little tired of watching celebrations/demonstrations take place here in Canada whenever there is some sort of political issue in a foreign country. The latest such incident comes in the wake of Kosovo's recent declaration of independence which prompted celebrations on the part of Kosovars residing in Canada, and a few days later a demonstration by Serbian nationalists. You people are, for whatever reason, now in Canada, and as such have an obligation to become Canadian; your allegiance should be to Canada and Canada alone. If you're feelings lead you to have a stronger attachments to the country from whence you came, please feel free to return to that land asafp. http://www.cbc.ca/canada/toronto/story/200...rbs-canada.html

Is having to cook one large meal for the family a week really a huge chore considering the vital role that meals USED to play in maintaining a functional family structure? Needless to say, dad had probably been working 10 to 12 hours a day 5 or 6 days of the week (not including commute) while the mother was able to stay at home with the children and interact with them, but dad goes out an spends a few hours with them once a week and suddenly this is a huge crime. Funny, I can't tell you how many times I've heard/read women "complaining" that daddy doesn't spend enough time with the kids, and here you are "complaining" that dads sometimes spent Sundays with the kids while mommy actually had to cook a meal instead of microwaving a handful of TV dinners.

Well, I'm really honoured that you've taken the time to add your 2 Øre to the discussion, but it seems that you haven't read all of my posts or really understand where I'm coming from.

This isn't quite true. The general consensus is that Hitler primarily had designs on the east and regaining land that was lost because of WWI. The war with Poland was simply intended to be just that, and it was the British and the French who ultimately decided to get involved. Germany certainly wasn't in a position to fight a war on a global level; it didn't have its navy prepared for such an undertaking, nor was the airforce structured to support anything more than a blitzkrieg style offensive war. Whatever the case, when we're talking about how many people a regime was responsible for killing, I think we're looking at deaths that result from persecution. In that respect, I think the Soviets were "worse" than the Nazis.

It's possible that he presented an accurate figure, but the opposite could easily be the case, as well--there are a number of factors that could attribute for the latter, but I don't have the time or inclination to discuss them in detail. Whatever the case, large numbers of non-Jews were also singled out for elimination, and yes, many of these peoples died in the thousands because these groups usually only existed in the thousands, rather than millions, but collectively they still amount to millions.

No, I'm asking you what your opinions are about Judaism, meaning that I would be interested in hearing what issues you specifically have with Judaism. You're posting as though I had asked "what about Judaism?" which is not what I did at ALL.
