I would argue the current system is broken, but that aside... With this kind of attitude, society would not progress. Why build cars? Horse and buggy aren't broken. Why make cell phones? Land line phones aren't broken. etc.

Sure she does. She tells them to do what they Canadian government tells them to do. What would happen in the future if hypothetically the monarch took a position in opposition to the Canadian government? I have an idea. How about we become a republic and get rid of all these nonsense oaths to the monarchy.

The current system has issues. For example, I cannot fix typos from a post that was made a few hours earlier. More problematic is that creating any future threads like these: http://www.mapleleafweb.com/forums/topic/24698-emission-scenarios-and-economic-impacts-of-climate-change/#comment-1070139 http://www.mapleleafweb.com/forums/topic/23461-effectsimplications-of-climate-change-on-jetstreams/#comment-954768 Will become basically impossible because they involved a lot of editing of the original post and future posts to update information and correct mistakes. Can we at least have some members on an exception list so that they can modify old posts?

But their oath is to the Monarch.

No, a soldier is working to serve the monarchy. I already pointed this out.

I'm fine with there being insurance, either bought by individuals or provided by the employer. But generally it makes sense for insurance plans to be defined when people take the job so that they can make informed employment decisions. But the approach by some people seems to be that we need to constantly change such insurance plans long after someone has retired from the military because somehow a disabled military veteran is more important than a disabled farmer, because we can never do enough to 'support our troops'.

It's about doing the opposite of whatever the Americans want to do. Cause Canadian nationalism/patriotism is defined by being not American. So Trudeau was very reluctant about trade (TPP, EU trade agreement) until Trump got elected then we became all for trade in order to be not-Trumpl

Hey don't get me wrong. I support helping disabled people and people with mental illness. I just don't see why it should matter if they were a veteran or not with regard to this. Why should a person who lost an arm due to fighting in Afghanistan get more help than a person who lost an arm to a tractor while harvesting wheat is Saskatchewan?

Here's an interesting scenario. Let's say that 60% of Canadian public vote in a referendum to become a republic. The current monarch says no. The Canadian government, due to having no alternative routes to become a republic, unilaterally declares one (and therefore breaks the law in the same way that other republics such as the USA and France had to do to become republics). What happens then? The military performs a coup d'etat? I think we know where the military's loyalty lies.

Interesting fact about the military: "Allegiance and loyalty to the monarch, and the manner in which they are expressed, are specifically outlined in the Canadian Armed Forces regulations and subordinate orders. Within the Queen's Regulations and Orders, it is stipulated that all Canadian citizens or British subjects who enroll in the forces must take the Oath of Allegiance before either a commissioned officer or a justice of the peace. Those who are not Canadian citizens or British subjects must recite a longer oath: "I, [name], do swear (or solemnly affirm) that I will well and truly serve Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth the Second, Queen of Canada, Her heirs and successors according to law, in the Canadian Forces until lawfully released, that I will resist Her Majesty's enemies and cause Her Majesty's peace to be kept and maintained and that I will, in all matters pertaining to my service, faithfully discharge my duty. So help me God." The words so help me God are omitted if a solemn affirmation is taken." The military's allegiance is to the monarch, not to Canada. If we want Canada to become a republic, the military might be an obstacle. I say defund these monarchists and save public money rather than waste it so some people can parade around in really expensive toys.

Future wars will be fought with drones instead of humans anyway. Better to spend money on programmers to develop military ai than waste it training soldiers. Man, trashing the military is fun.

We should also get rid of the current hiring preference for veterens and citizens in the public service. Hire the best person for the job instead.

Long term solution is to slash military expenditure, stop hiring so many soldiers and stop sending them to fight in pointless warzones. Then you will have less veterans with PTSD. Also, leave NATO.

Or... get rid of supply management. Then Milk & eggs will be much cheaper in Canada. Also, there is nothing wrong with GMOs.

While I'm not inherently against a sugar tax, the justification for the 20% tax is not pigouvian. They don't take into account the disutility from a reduction in the loss of pleasure from consuming delicious sugary drinks and they don't take into account the disutility from lower effective income of consumers. If they want to justify such a tax, they need to calculate the net external cost of sugar consumption and propose a tax of value equal to the net external cost. Then the tax would be pigouvian and I could support it.

Out of curiousity, where do transpeople fit into your desire for sex segregated swimming pools? How about non-binary people? Also, in Saudi Arabia, you won't get much men staring at you since you will be covered from head to toe all the time. Isn't that wonderful? It is the perfect society for you!

If people want sex segregated swimming pools, they should go move to Saudi Arabia, and take their sexism with them.

That's pretty sexist, and we already have enough sex segregation as it is.

Also, Justin Trudeau isn't pro-choice. If he were pro-choice, he would ban genital mutilation without consent. But we all know he is fine with the practice of infant genital mutilation of males and has no desires to change that stance due to his desire to capture the islamist voting bloc in the name of diversity.

I'd take pro-life people more seriously if the majority of them were vegan. Why is it immoral to kill a zygote, but not immoral to kill a cow or chicken?

Or when a 15 year old boy gets raped and then is forced by the government to pay his rapist child support money for children he did not consent to.

Protest lower earnings due to working less hours by working less hours. Makes perfect sense. *sarcasm*

Also, I applaud Casey Jay and her completion of the film 'The Red Pill'. Raheel Raza and her support of moderate islam as well as opposition to M103 is also great. Lots of great women.

Karen Straughan will appear on CTV to discuss men's issues on women's day. Good to see the MSM start to finally talk to MRAs rather than just demonize them.
