Court: Cuts to refugee health care “cruel and unusual” treatment

[WestCoastRunner]

Well it kinda works like this: if you go to another country and extract huge revenues from their resources, it's a bit unfair to then rush home with the money coming out your asshole and then pretend the people from the place you got the dough don't exist.

That's too complicated for Shady.

You comment is nonsensical. And please refrain from the foul language, it's really not necessary. Well, companies that come to Canada to do business, pay taxes here to our provincial and federal government. Said tax revenues are used to fund our social programs. That's how responsible governments work. Surely this so-called country you're referring to would be doing the same thing no? And if they aren't, why is that our problem? Do we have to go around the world and install our kind of governments?

Not too complicated, but it makes for a great bumper sticker. It's too bad it makes absolutely no sense.

So naive Shady. Come on!

So naive Shady. Come on!

What's naive? The way things work in our country is naive?

[WestCoastRunner]

Not very worldly are you when it comes to the underbelly of foreign governments?

[Shady]

Which one are you referring to?

[WestCoastRunner]

Which one are you referring to?

which one? You are kidding, right?

Nonsensical? You need to get out more. It happens all the time, has been for years. And should we just go around the world ripping people off? And BTW, this country is not a so called country, whatever that means.

Who's this "we" you keep referring to?

[Shady]

which one? You are kidding, right?

No.

[WestCoastRunner]

There's a billion other people that would like to come to Canada for the same reasons.

These billion other people are not children travelling on their own. Do you see the difference?

[On Guard for Thee]

Who's this "we" you keep referring to?

Which "we"? Apparently you need a history lesson. Let's see, with regard to Africa, most of Europe, America, and later on us here in Canada.There are many more but I don't want to overwhelm you.

[Shady]

No I don't. So you want to give preferential treatment to some children, but not to others? Regardless, children on their own should be given back to their relatives in their countries of origin, other than ones with real refugee claims.

[WestCoastRunner]

No I don't. So you want to give preferential treatment to some children, but not to others? Regardless, children on their own should be given back to their relatives in their countries of origin, other than ones with real refugee claims.

I like how you added in your 'other than ones with real refugee claims'. You covered your ass well on this one!

You said "we" go around the world. Who is this so-called we you keep referring to? Regadrless, a company pays taxes in the country they do business in. So it's not possible to so-called "bring back" money. Only if it's repatrioted. Do you know anything about how this stuff works? Tax codes? Tax rules? Or are these mindless bumper sticker type slogans reality to you?

Not at all, it just goes back to the words I stated a long time ago. Most would go back. Most doesn't mean all.

I know very much how they work. Have you ever worked in Africa? For Exxon Mobil?

[Shady]

I've never worked in Africa or for Exxon Mobil. So what country do they not have to pay taxes in? And which country do they repatriate their profits to? Oh, and why does that mean Joe and Jane Q Taxpayer in Canada needs to foot the bill for other people's health care?

[On Guard for Thee]

I'll give you one guess which country Exxon banks it's profits. And of course they pay some fees, they're not called taxes they're called royalties and they tend to go directly into the pocket of the despot who rules said country. And a blind eye gets turned. Now heaven forbid the US try to manipulate a foreign government.

[On Guard for Thee]

This is too complicated for Shady.

And probably too complicated for me had I not seen it with my own eyes.

[cybercoma]

Nope, not an easy answer or a cop out. It's quite logical. We can agree to disagree then.

Logical? Only if you ignore what a refugee is.

[cybercoma]

There's a billion other people that would like to come to Canada for the same reasons.

do we take in a billion refugees?
