  1. What I mean is that as long as Black or anyone else for that matter is alive, he can still work its best to haste the advent of a less imperfect justice system. Black is a guilty man, an irresponsible man because he doesn't seem to know that.
  2. Imperfection has to be placed in the highest position if we want to evaluate the constructiveness of criticisms.
  3. This has nothing to do with immigration policy.
  4. Compassion and brain drain have to be linked if rich countries, like Canada, want to avoid receiving intercontinental nuclear missiles on their main cities.
  5. I have to disagree. It is in the nature of social studies to use routinely social categories like "Latino" and "women" and a society certainly needs social studies to make better decisions about its direction. If these studies would arrive at the conclusion that a Latina woman has fewer chances to become wise and have a richness of experiences, it would be enough to put a Latina woman on the Supreme Court.
  6. Of course a desire to stay comfortable prompts intolerance.
  7. To me, the way the Liberals have reacted when we learned that the deficit would be $16 billions more than the previous forecast is demagoguery. Pretending to be in a state of panic in front of what Harper is doing in time of economic crisis can succeed only by manipulating the feeble-minded Canadians.
  8. It is problematic for all political and social theorists because their theories don't deal with purely natural phenomena.
  9. English culture owes a lot to French culture: just think at Guillaume le Conquérant (William the Conqueror).
  10. Another problem seems to have been non-Quebecers came in Montreal to vote at this referendum.
  11. Arguably, the second one has been "stolen" by Ottawa: remember the "love-in" in Montreal.
  12. KrustyKidd will respond Bill Clinton, but the first Black president would be someone much more like Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
  13. You better inspect all containers!
  14. Obama is not black since his mother was white!
  15. You hang the phone on Statscan, you risk having to pay a fine.
  16. To me, for a hospital, being able to say it is a bilingual institution allows an access to a larger pool of personnel.
  17. When the phone rings, it may be Statistics Canada calling. This Agency is fighting prejudices by systematically asking if one wants to answer in English or in French, especially when the answer may be obvious.
  18. In a basic reasoning, one should take into account the consequences.
  19. The Olympic Games are the most famous temporary immigration I can think of and having English and French at the local government levels allows a city to organize them much more appropriately.
  20. The most basic reasoning of all English-speaking Canadians should be: knowing only one language is quite regrettable nowadays, therefore should I learn French or another language?
  21. Read my post again.
  22. But the drafters of the US Declaration of Independence decided to replace the "rights of life, liberty and property" by the "rights of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness" to prevent slaves from catching anything.
