eyeball Posted August 10, 2015 Report Posted August 10, 2015 I'm way more concerned about the corporations we allow to roam the world at will...the harm they do abroad and the values they bring back are far and away more damaging to our country and way of life than anything else we send abroad...even asbestos.

PIK Posted August 10, 2015 Report Posted August 10, 2015 TSS I thought that was Al Quada or what ever they call themselves. That line is getting very old. The CIA could not run a one car taxi stand. Quote Toronto, like a roach motel in the middle of a pretty living room.

What "our" mining corps have done in South America and Africa is a damn travesty, yet the news barely reports on it. Quote

On Guard for Thee Posted August 10, 2015 Report Posted August 10, 2015 A little trip along the Niger Delta is an eye opener. Oil and gas development put bucks in a few peoples pockets. And sludge in a LOT of people's water. Quote
Big Guy Posted October 2, 2015 Author Report Posted October 2, 2015 Nothing in your original post says that......it was simply a rant against Harper and how he was stifling democracy. Funny thing is - your approach is in tune with many Canadians - let them all go over there and get themselves killed and if they come back, put them in jail for life for treason. Yet somehow....I think if the Conservatives had even suggested something like that, you would have tarred and feathered them. But in all seriousness - your approach attempts to close the barn after the cows are out. The people we are attempting to stop are those who would kill allies and fellow Muslims alike - people with children and families. As a civilized country, we owe it to ourselves and others that when we have information that would lead us to believe such happenings - we should try to stop it. Apparently, you prefer to just let things happen - more killings, more atrocities. You're entitled to your opinion but I think if you reflect on the consequences of it, you might want to be persuaded to change your mind. I have considered this post and understand the point;"The people we are attempting to stop are those who would kill allies and fellow Muslims alike - people with children and families. As a civilized country, we owe it to ourselves and others that when we have information that would lead us to believe such happenings - we should try to stop it". I interpret this to indicate that we have an obligation to others to keep terrorists in Canada. That does have some merit for me - BUT Harper has just declared that convicted terrorists will be stripped of their Canadian citizenship and deported at the earliest opportunity. So we have some folks, who we know are terrorists because we just convicted them of terrorism, and we force to leave and go to another country. What happened to our obligation of protecting other nations? Quote Note - For those expecting a response from Big Guy: I generally do not read or respond to posts longer then 300 words nor to parsed comments.
Army Guy Posted October 3, 2015 Report Posted October 3, 2015 I get: "We kill innocent people because they kill innocent people." Do you want to add something to your quote now ? Do you feel moral superior when you get up in the morning, or do you have to have your shower first ? Are you suggesting that it is the same act, same moral thinking and thought process.... to intentionally kill someone or killing someone through a mistake. The link you posted was this done intentionally, there was no mistakes....no bad intel, wrong location, etc.etc. Quote We, the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have now done so much for so long with so little, we are now capable of doing anything with nothing.

I was commenting on another poster's rationale and we argued it to an end point later in the thread IMO. Quote Click to learn why Climate Change is caused by HUMANS Michael Hardner
Machjo Posted October 3, 2015 Report Posted October 3, 2015 My fiancée is in a similar situation. She is now allowed to go home due to a CBSA decision in her favour and a warning from her lawyer to the CBSA. However, since the CBSA has appealed the IRB decision, she will be legally bound to return to Canada for the appeal hearing or face a warrant for her arrest to do so. The most ironic part in this is that it is to appeal her right to remain in Canada so that the CBSA could then deport her. At first the CBSA wanted to force her to remain in Canada until the appeal hearing. In short, it does not want her to leave Canada of her own volition but insists on deporting her again at her will.

This is a perfect example of over-regulation and lack of common sense and compassion the refugee process has today. Regulating people's travel should be done on a very limited basis and only when their is some real (not fabricated or presumed probable cause). If not, we will turn into another police state like America. Quote
