Mr.Canada

I'll make a bet that you're under 25 Sir Bandelot. Probably 21 or 22. Once you get a bit older you'll have a better grasp on what we're discussing.

Awe c'mon guyser. Did you watch "V for Vendetta" tonight or something? Be fair.

And they are also one of if not the most homogeneous modern nations on the planet. Sorry M.Dancer, you lobbed me a softy, I had to take it. EDIT- Also have some of the most strictest immigration policies on the planet. There are even signs up in many of the bars to this day that say "No Gaijin" No foreigners.

And yet I'm not a left winger and don't support Buzz or the NDP. I like to think for myself and go against the grain.

mikedavid00. I understand fully what you are talking about and I agree 110%. Things are looking bleak. Many people on this board are either like M.Dancer and are in the twilight of their careers , have made their money and now out of guilt feeling like sticking up for the poor helpless immigrant to make themselves feel better about having so much or they are a young kid who has yet to do anything worth a damn yet. I just turned 30 and would bet dollars to doughnuts we are the same age give 5 years either way. I am as frustrated as you are for the same reasons. I feel we should have the same tax benefit that Quebecers have. That is tax credit for having more children. That's right, in addition to the new child tax benefit, if you live in Quebec and have more than 2 children every family get an additional benefit. And why? Because of the constant pandering the gov't does for Quebec. I'm not anti-Quebec, far from it. They are showing us the way to get real change. If the Natives and the Quebecers are good for one thing, it's that they know how to get what they want and deserve. Why can't the rest of Canadians get the same benefits? After all we're all supposed to be equal right? There are 2 separate sets of rules and it seems to depend on who is more organized and who screams the loudest. White liberals have learned this well and are constantly protesting and changing things for their betterment. Working class families need to band together and do the same thing as I see it. Just my opinion of course. It sucks and it's not fair. We want to have a job, work hard and you're supposed to be rewarded right? That's what they tell us in school, but it isn't the truth. We know what the truth is but we aren't to say it else we be labeled as bigots or worse. No, we're supposed to take it and ask for seconds so that someone else can take what we've worked for. They don't call us the silent majority for nothing mikedavid00. How long will we be silent? How long will we take it?

Well, thankfully that's not up to you to decide and another terrorist will not be bringing harm to the Canadian people.

Thanks for pointing that out. Fixed.

Yep, precisely.

I find this hard to say as William Ashley is usually very partisan but that is actually a really good idea. Permanently post police in the trouble areas of cities. Thanks for pointing that out. Good post W.Ashley.

I see it as a non partisan issue. To me it doesn't matter who came up with it or enacted it. The important bit is that it is in fact in place to help protect the Canadian public.

Is that your drink of choice M.Dancer? CC and 7?

I made an error. The who's who for 2003 has him listed as being called to the bench in 1997 to the Ontario Supreme court. I believe that would be Mike Harris. I should have just said a liberal slanted judge which he clearly must be as his previous rulings would suggest.

I'll leave this Santa Claus business to M.Dancer. He is much more careful about what he says as I pretty much run on emotion. I'm better at public speaking and organizing than I am at research, I work for a large union after all.

No Kitch not all teachers as I know that you are one. I believe I said a certain committee of teacher that decides these things. The name of their group escapes me at present but they travel the Province doing this as they have done with two schools in metro already this year. Runnymede and David and Mary Thompson. They were both 'The Red men". That is a little more understandable. I just seems petty to me. No native groups were even approached and asked if this offended them, they just took it upon themselves to make it an issue. Seems like White Liberal guilt is neutering us as a whole. It makes us look like wimps in my opinion. That everyone is so sensitive to everything. A lot of First Nations people have been contacted about this and do not feel offended at all by the logo and are proud of the fact that 53 years ago, when this school opened that they would pay homage to the brave Natives that used to reside in that area for centuries. Edit- Whats next PETA coming up and saying that schools or teams cannot use animals as their names either because it offends animals? It is getting out of control.

This is bizarre and not at all true. I believe that you believe it but this doesn't make it so. There was Saint Nick in Great Britain and Germany long before Coca-Cola. In fact almost every nation on earth has some form of Saint Nick or Santa and has for centuries. This is a fact. I'm not being partisan or anything of the like just stating fact. If you want to say that Coca-Cola coined the term "Santa Claus" that maybe I haven't checked but he was called Saint Nick in merry ole England long before that happened. EDIT- I tend to side with M.Dancer's previous statements even though he regards me as a fool or whatever he said...ah yes an idiot...lol. I find it humorous that we are fighting over Santa Claus but hey what are ya gonna do...hehehe.

Be fair. The Liberal Elite live in big houses too.

The government of Canada should offer some tax incentives to have more than 1.5 children, like they do in Quebec.

"Take Kyle Weese, 24, who plead guilty to one count of "discharging a firearm with intent to wound, maim or disfigure" and was sentenced to four years, which ended up being a year and a half. Yet for the Feb. 9, 2005, shooting he was originally charged with "aggravated assault, assault with a weapon, possessing a dangerous weapon, careless use of a firearm and carrying a concealed weapon." Source WHY ONE CHARGE? This is what I call outrageous. You think that these sort of decisions are protecting the Canadian public...wow. Judges need to be held accountable for their decisions and must be made to explain their decisions when it comes back to harm Canadians.

http://network.nationalpost.com/np/blogs/t...-offensive.aspx White Liberal guilt has again reared its head. Why do these teachers seem to think that everything is offensive? How is a Native Warrior who is proud and fearless insulting to Natives? Many Full Status Indians have been contacted and are not at all offended by the names. So why are these teachers taking it upon themselves to change this name without consulting First Nations people?

A Liberal appointed judge let this guy out of prison twice before on gun charges. This is the third time and he finally killed someone. It's sad really that the white Liberal elite who hold all that guilt still cannot admit when wrong even when it costs lives. We should be calling for that judges resignation or a complete judicial review by the AG. to ensure that these judges are following the law prudently.

What are some other good discussion forums or IRC chat channels that anyone knows of. I went to blogging Tories but it's boring same drill for rabble.ca just the opposite end of the spectrum. I want to argue some more.

You guys are baiting me. I'm taking it. I have to be smarter and stay on topic..you're trying to make the issue immigration. You're trying to deflect blame from your Liberal appointed judges and your Premier and Mayor who cannot do anything about crime. There answer? Ban handguns. Let's ban murder too. Can we do that?

This topic is about why an Ontario judge released a thug 2 times on gun offenses. That's the problem. Liberal judges who are not tough enough on crime.

You are seriously misinformed about Christianity. I won't even speak with you about theology as you're too far behind for me to teach you the truth. I actually feel sorry for you. You must be really miserable in your life, wow. I wouldn't want to walk around with so much negativity in my heart. How can you be so angry all the time? If you really hate this country and its traditions you can always immigrate someplace else. Your views are held by a very small minority in our country I might add. Apart from that what's wrong with having a Christmas tree and giving presents? I think it's a nice and happy time.

We have a lot of Canadians out of work. Why don't we spend our energies on getting them to work first. With immigration remaining high the working wage will not go up as quickly. Which isn't the best thing for Canadians.
