Canada's (In)Justice System AKA "Thanks, Bill C-75!"
Army Guy replied to Goddess's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
I have 2 daughters, and 3 grand daughters, and i worry about them all the time, and i could not even imagine what the parents or victims are feeling or going through right now....And i not sure how i would handle this situation if it happened to my family, but facing criminal charges would be the least of their worries four any of these men, Castration would certainly be on the long list of things that would be done... -
They have been chasing guns for years now, they had estimated it would cost over 2 bil to buy all the guns, today they know they are broke so they have allotted only 500 mil, and will offer each owner 1/10 of what they paid for their guns....and once that 500 k is gone, there is not more compensation, you have two choices, have your fire arms confiscated, or deactivated on your dime....or become a criminal...Not sure what or how many Canadians will participate in this program, but i think a lot of fire arms owners will become criminals after march... The only way to stop this madness is for the provinces to opt out...like some have...This is not about keeping Canadians safer, this is about scoring a few political votes in Quebec and else where the anti gun lobbies are the largest... The real scary part is a large portion of those firearms are not weapons of war they are paint ball, air soft, bolt action rifles, and shotguns....including some replica firearms...because they look scary....it has nothing to do with function, it is all based on looks...all to appease a handful of members in lobby groups..

Carney Articulates The New World Order In Davos
Army Guy replied to Zeitgeist's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Actually the majority of Canadians view Immigration the same way, not sure how you seem to think, that this is some how bad... One good speech does not make him king of the free world....nor does it benefit Canada in any way...How many are lined up to sign new trade agreements with us... This is what the left expects poking the bear, knowing full well that the bear does not take kindly to the poking.....and when the bear reacts the LEFT stand up beating their chest screaming we need to do something....this is terrible. If you look at our economy, tell me we are not dependent on the US for almost everything...Knowing that why do you and others consider poking the bear.... We as a nation thrive because of the US and the US markets, don't kid yourselves the US could cripple Canada at any time both economically and through force...knowing that should at least give us pause before making great speeches.... Trump does not need to be held in high regard, regardless of what others think of him , people listen when he speaks....Yes kudo's from around the world, try surviving on just kudos , how may of these nations will step up and help Canada if the US cuts trade with us....then we will see what kudo's is worth.... -
Not much of a buy back program where you state you will compensate only 150,000 legal gun owners 1/10 of what they paid for their legally purchased firearms.....That's not a buy back programs that's theft....With other experts saying there is on average between 300 and 500,000 firearms out there deemed illegal....while other experts have quoted more than 2 1/2 Million to those people the government is telling them get in early or their will be NO compensation....you turn them in for free....you might get a sucker for the RCMP for being a good citizen...your other choice is to deactivate them at your own cost.... This is just another Liberal failure from start to finish...even the minister in Charge of this sh!tshow, has said the program is going to fail....even liberals don't have faith in their own program...And if you don't comply before the dead line they are going to make you a criminal , you'll lose your privilege of owning guns ever again.. Here is the stupid part, Ottawa does not know who owns what .....They are depending on you to be honest enough to report what you have to RCMP, then turn them in...for 1/10 of what you paid for them, if you are lucky...or be a criminal for life....I really hope gun owners put as much thought and effort into this program as the federal government has...which is none that i can see... And to add more sh!t to your mouthful, This firearms that were made for war, also include Paintball, Air soft (kids Toys) because they look scary....also bolt action hunting rifles, and many shotguns because they look scary as well.... This program has been denounced by many police force commanders as garbage, punishing legal gun owners is not the way we reduce gun violence....where the vast majority of those guns are used by criminals who get them illegally from the US...So in true Liberal fashion they are going to punish legal gun owners...makes perfect sense ....

Treebeard did...He suggested without trade with China our economy would decade....which is BS, China only makes up 3.9 % of our trade numbers....That and there are plenty of other nations we could increase trade with , with out security risks... Sure we do, just not with the US right....
-
Thanks Capt obvious....i think we all get that fact, what your forgetting is He has not changed any real significant policy to make pipelines a reality for companies to want to build one... His MOU means nothing, it is a piece of paper that states nothing....he has no intention of building any pipeline.... Show me a source that states any Indigenous people have a veto power on anything the Feds do...other than Carneys word when he stated he would not force any project through if there was opposition....in reality no one has veto over any feds determined to put a project through....Consultation is all that is required... with indigenous, and EBY.
-
YOU can chose to ignore any federal warning you want to, it does not take away from the fact they are their for a reason....Not only does CSIS warn us , but so does NATO, NORAD, 5 EYES, the list goes on China is a threat to these organizations... China has never been OK, it held 2 Canadians hostage , and has placed tariffs on Canada way before the US did....your memory seems l short sighted. I would prefer not to deal with China at all, Canadians will buy what ever they can if it is cheap....they are not that concerned with politics....
-
Yes he reduced a little bit of the red tape....but there still remains mountains of it left... NO, they don't have a veto....They are to be consulted with....no where does it say anyone has a veto...if the Fed want to ram a pipeline through they can do just that....
-
So are you suggesting Canada can not trade with any other countries or is China the only one...And why are we so willing to forgive China for past transgressions, and yet we can't even talk to trump...

Canada’s Intelligence Agency Says China Remains One Of The Country’s Most Serious National Security Concerns So every country has the same warning on them as well, the UK France, etc...I think your down playing the CSIS warnings...now had the conservatives down this what would you be screaming then... It was China that held Canadians captive, it was China that has been accused of inter national interference and interference into Canadians elections... It is China that has police stations in Canada to police ex Chinese citizens...SO why China Carney could have gone to any Asian country and got just as much concession as China gave. China is our number two largest trading partner, with 3.9 % of our exports and imports coming from....Thats not very big and to trade away what he did , for maybe more trade...WTF are we thinking...
-
The problem with your quote is this arse runs the country....Bottom line is the liberals have wrapped that entire industry up in red tape....along with handed Indigenous people a veto to any pipeline...So Carney is quit comfortable with selling all our oil and gas to the US...

Nice graph what does it prove, other than liberals and NDP are beating their chests and war drums....i find it funny, during my time in the Infantry, MOST of the combat arms trades voted conservative almost well over 95 %....while NDP and liberal did more damage to our military than any other party....those that voted conservative don't party just yet you were only slightly better in your support...And NDP i mean come on, i can't remember any one stating they voted NDP.... You guys should stop beating your chest and war drums, if you think those untrained and unarmed people will make any difference in any conflict....maybe if the LGBTQ community over threw the government maybe...but my money is on the LGBTQ community....

What does generally not allow mean...is it or is it not....I applied for a civilian job within CFB Gagetown and those questions were asked...And it was not the only time this information was requested to provide.... The fact that they do request this info is telling, they in fact tell you in the job description who they are looking for...or who will be given preferential treatment.. And most Resumes that are actioned are vetted by computer, one needs to fill out those questions in order to make it past the screening...or your resume does not get vetted... Internally i was required to fill out lots of admin paper work where they requested Age, gender, what were my pronouns i prefer to use...religion, etc...If I'm correct i think my yearly civilian job performance sheet it also requested this basic info...welcome to the 2020's baby... I'm pretty sure i was asked those same questions on my security clearance sheet. looks like the government is not adhering to their own rules. On this form it asks for date of birth, your gender, and others.... https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/tbs-sct/documents/forms/330-61-ssacf-en.pdf Here is a job random description for a civilian employee job with DND. https://www.canada.ca/en/services/jobs/opportunities/government/self-declaring-government-canada-jobs.html Below was taken from an random job I highlighted who the target audience was in red....I guess you can highlight your race through self declare....maybe your laws are not for the government... https://emploisfp-psjobs.cfp-psc.gc.ca/psrs-srfp/applicant/page1800?poster=2386296 Equity, diversity and inclusion The Public Service of Canada is committed to building a skilled and diverse workforce that reflects the population it serves.

I get that.......But that was not your point , the US has some success in insurgency warfare... Like i said, once American soldiers start coming home in bags ,let alone Canadian terrorist killing soft American targets , don't expect your American support to last, don't expect to much sympathy from across the border....once you lose that support that's when you've lost the fight... My first tour in Afghanistan i was full of pi$$ in vinegar, want to help regular Afghans....volunteered for everything....by the end of that first tour, i had a severe hate on for the Taliban and all the other terrorist organization in Afghanistan and would not think twice about ending one of them....by my third tour i was not there to help afghanis, but to bring back as many Canadians as i possible could...i kept volunteering to go back because my comrades where going....My wife gave me an ultimatum...I could go on my forth tour....but she would not be there when i got back home....i checked myself into the hospital and was diagnosed with sever PTSD...And i was a trained soldier, with previous combat experience.... Everyone i knew quickly pointed out how much my character changed...i was not the same person as i once was...I'd turned into an A$$hat....a drunken a$$hat .... And i'm not saying i'm better than any other man or women out there....but you are talking about regular Canadians with no training or experience. I can't even fathom them being able to cope just the survival mode, let alone combat or it's conditions... Trump has already said he prefers liberal governments...Not even sure what he thinks any more....and your right realistically he would not have to invade...he could use Economical pressure...or like you said put someone he could trust in power...and what real sovereignty do we really have right now....hard to have sovereignty when you don't have the means to protect it...

Right after i retired i applied for a civilian job within the military, right on my application was all my info plus how I identified, and what pronouns i preferred, also what race and religion was i....what sex i was....So much more than you were asked... Go to the DND recruiting site or Civil service web site and look for military jobs, it states right in black and white who they are targeting....and what preferences they are looking for. So DEI is alive and well...The last search for the CDS included 5 women...no men were included, why because it time the liberals broke some glass ceilings...I could give you lots of those stories, where women, or other than whites were promoted in the fast track stream not because of qualifications, or standings on the promotion board...but they jumped the que, because that was what the fad was at the time. Nobody questioned it because DEI had infected the entire system, Military culture was questioned, and giving important positions to those that were discriminated against, or held back, where now given better treatment to show Canadians we are working on our self's...Don't get me wrong I've gone to war with Female Infanteers, and for the most part they rocked the shit out their jobs...not all but most of those i had contact with...Saying that their was also plenty of males that did not get the same treatment and a lot where much better soldiers and officers...SO DEI is alive and well in the military and the civilian component... -

Being fat or mentally disable is a visible minority, a group that gets unwarranted attention from average Canadians, that cause mental distress, and other social problems...... And yet you have drawn the line to include color and gender, those are the only groups DEI seems interested in....So why just those two groups ? and why at the expense of other groups... Why not just Hire the best candidate for the job, why is that such a hard concept to wrap your mind around....why do i need to include color or gender on a job application...why can't people hire by reading your resume, and then a face to face interview...with questions that are formed around the job, and not your sex or race, because the DEI crowd that favors this type of practice are racist or guilty of our past... -

Is that because we are ashamed of our past, or is it that some Canadians feel uncomfortable with those statues, or names...and so we try to erase it...hoping we will forget, that our nation has some warts attached to it....Have we really grown that soft....You should not be trying to change history, but rather learning from it...can't do that if it is erased... -

Well from my point of view your being absurd, Why should this generation atone for the sins of our fore fathers ? We have already seen BC take this in to the extremes in regards to lands claims....DEI is more than just excluding whites from jobs, they break it down into What sex you are, are you a part of a mistreated race. Religion is a special carve certain religions, minus Christian, or Jewish those are very bad...The rest well they get special treatment in regards to our laws.... If you want to end discrimination , you must practice what you preach, and not just trade one for the other....That is absurd...and Racist... Had any of this been against any other race of color or religion what do you think the consequences would have been... -

Yes it does depend on a lot of things , but our history shows us the government may not be capable of fixing our health care system as it sits, or maybe it is just that they are not very interested in doing so for many reasons......Will another system compete with one another sure they will, and what a better way to compete by using everyone's greed, on side pays more than the other...the governments system is fiscally restrained....and your right it will create a two tiered health system...But why should we hold back people that can afford better health care... -

How far do you go to make it equal, do we make sure skinny, fat people are fairly represented, what about disabled/ handicapped are they fairly represented, smart and mentally challenged, LGBTQ people and straight people are they fairly represented...We could go on and on.... Here is a idea how about we hire the best qualified for the job...instead of trying to correct mistakes from the past ( which we today have no control over) we level the playing field...Those companies or institutions that do not have a fair hire practices could be taken to court OH wait i think we already have laws about that today... You seem to think that white people seem to deserve to be over looked/ punished because of past injustices...done by people who are no longer in charge of anything... We all should be emotional about the topic, racism is racism.... -

Why is todays Canadians being asked to atone for mistakes made by other generations....No work places should reflect the best qualified people for those jobs, regardless of color , race or religion....DEI is punishing white people for something they have not done....This is what is wrong with the left.... Kind of like paying child support for a child you never meet, to a women you never meet, let alone had sex with.... how do you square that hole ? White privilege...your a joke....i grew up in a trailer park, a poor trailer park, where everyone in that trailer park was poor, regardless of skin color, nobody had more than anyone else.....everyone that made it out of that trailer park worked their a$$es off to get out...most of us joined the military as there were not many jobs available here in NB....I'd like you to show me my white privilege....If you got a guilty conscience then by all means put your money where your mouth is....But don't force your BS on the rest of us... -
It's all stupid, but then again the president of the US is talking about it...So stupid or not, everyone is listening....And nobody knows if he is serious or not, and nobody has a clue of what to do....even NATO is saying they are not taking it to seriously...Other than condemnation what can they do....what do you think Canada will do....what ever it is told to....
