Sandy MacNab Posted June 26, 2011 Report Posted June 26, 2011 We don't want British riff-raff in our country. Who are the 'we' you're babbling about? In a year, Black does more good than 'you' do in 'your' lifetimes. Those who are jealous of others and begrudge them the results of their enterprise really piss me off. Quote

jbg Posted June 26, 2011 Report Posted June 26, 2011 This thread shows how idiotic and childish a discussion can become. You're not all in grade school. Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone." Always remember that when you are in the right you can afford to keep your temper, and when you are in the wrong you cannot afford to lose it. - J.J. Reynolds. Will the steps anyone is proposing to fight "climate change" reduce a single temperature, by a single degree, at a single location? The mantra of "world opinion" or the views of the "international community" betrays flabby and weak reasoning (link).
Sir Bandelot Posted June 26, 2011 Report Posted June 26, 2011 Black willingly renounced his citizenship to take on a British title. So let the British help him now. Quote

Battletoads Posted June 26, 2011 Report Posted June 26, 2011 I can't understand the con obsession with a convicted criminal who renounced his citizenship to become british. But hey, if the cons want this man as their spoke person I'd be 100% for it. Quote "You can lead a Conservative to knowledge, but you can't make him think."

Well, fortunately for your temperament, very few people who criticize Black, or any other wealthy individual, does so because of jealousy. So you get to relax now!

sharkman Posted June 26, 2011 Report Posted June 26, 2011 Black mostly renounce the Chretin. Good on him for that. Yeah, remember when the Prime Minister of Canada was attacking protesters and blocking Canadian citizens from getting knighted? Gee, it all seems like a bad dream now, glad we have someone at the helm now who isn't a petty, mean spirited, small minded man who thinks it's clever to talk about a proof is a proof if its a good proofy. Black kind of goofed when he renounced his citizenship, but the chretin made him do it, so it's a wash. Quote

Those who are jealous of others and begrudge them the results of their enterprise really piss me off. Black is a convicted felon. He has committed theft, fraud on a grand scale & has bilked many Canadians of many dollars. When he has repaid all the money he has stolen he should then be afforded the same rights as any criminal and if he doesn't like he fog & drizzle in the British Isle he can always console himself by enjoying his lordship type royalty writ--- or perhaps put it to better use by burning it in his Non central heat fireplace.

Not a clue among you all. No wonder the economy is floundering. You know he was convicted in a US court, not just 'pilloried' by 'lefties', right? (Btw, he was convicted of stealing what belonged to a corporation. He wasn't exactly showing much respect for shareholders or property rights.) Edited June 26, 2011 by Evening Star Quote

Those who are jealous of others and begrudge them the results of their enterprise really piss me off. More good, in what way? Steals enough money to keep him and Barb in clothes and wine? Pontificates on high about all manner of things? Tosses his citizenship away for a peerage that almost immediately becomes pointless because of Lords reforms? I don't really care if he's rich or not, but he's no bloody Jesus Christ. Quote

Black kind of goofed when he renounced his citizenship, but the chretin made him do it, so it's a wash. Chretien didn't make him do it. While I think Chretien's claims that Canada doesn't allow conferring of titles were pure B.S. (the Nickle Resolution was never actually passed so it has absolutely no constitutional standing whatsoever), Chretien, as PM, was within his constitutional right to advise the Queen not to give Black a peerage. Black insisted on the Peerage despite the threat of loss of citizenship, and did it anyways. Quote

jacee Posted June 27, 2011 Report Posted June 27, 2011 (edited) Lord and Lady Black of Crossharbour just want to be home in Toronto, but they've left a trail of burnt bridges. Under Harper law his prison time would have been longer I expect. Eta . . . I doubt he'll qualify for immigration, being somewhat broke and a criminal. Edited June 27, 2011 by jacee Quote
