poochy Posted March 22, 2015 Report Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) That would presuppose the probability of the events were 1. They are not......that's what makes the different. Risk = Consequence x Probability. It seems to be a basic equation some have forgotten. So tell us then, you, the all knowing, what are the real values of the variables you mention, you seem to be in the know, perhaps you work for CSIS and are privy to information concerning all of the people they watch and those they have arrested. Not a single one of you answers that question. Or perhaps, like the rest of us you don't really know anything, but your incredible bias leads you around by the nose into the ever so intelligent opinion that you dislike conservatives, therefore no new laws are required. None of us know if new laws, C-51, or anything else is required, but only people like you are so self assured in your own ignorance and arrogance to presume to know that we don't. In other words, your incredibly full of shit, not that telling you matters, by your very nature you are incapable of the introspection that would be required to logically consider you own opinion and discard it for the nonsense that it is. Don't worry though, you are in the right place to find sympathetic ears. Edited March 22, 2015 by poochy Quote

Bob Macadoo Posted March 22, 2015 Report Posted March 22, 2015 None of us know if new laws, C-51, or anything else is required, ... Why are you in such ardent support of it then? Or is it just orthodoxic support of the gov't? I have not said introducing new legislation to update our info gathering.....sharing capability is wrong. Alot of the individual clauses introduced in C51 try to combat minimal risk items as they play well to the mob. That's the downside to FPTP electing.....fooling 30% is all that's req'd. Quote

I've seen nothing which indicates Harper ever met or knew Droege. Droege helped organize security at the behest of a local Reform Party branch in Ontario when the party was just getting started. At the time, he was working as a bailiff. As soon as the RP found out about his associations he was turfed. In fact a scholar wrote about how Harper started an organization, The Northern Foundation, with Droege and others in the 1980s. The organization was pro-South African Apartheid. How much more obvious can it be? Neither Droege nor Harper were involved in founding the Northern Foundation, which, as far as I can determine, was a right wing anti-Communist group. It would almost certainly have been supportive of the South African regime since their opponents were mostly Communists and Marxists. But then, the US and UK were also supportive of the South African government at the time, likely for the same reasons.

jacee Posted March 26, 2015 Report Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) How so? Libeling Harper would be a risky move. Edited March 26, 2015 by jacee Quote
PrimeNumber Posted March 26, 2015 Report Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) How so? Libeling Harper would be a risky move. I did find this on the interwebs, I may look into the book tomorrow when I'm rested. In 1991 Harper told Trevor Harrison, who was researching his PhD on the Reform Party (later a book entitled Of Passionate Intensity): "I helped establish something called the Northern Foundation before it (much later) deteriorated into a kind of quasi-fascist organization. I was actually expelled from it. It's got stranger and stranger." Yet there was no doubt about what the organization stood for when Harper was still a member. And by his own account he didn't leave voluntarily. Apparently he has admitted to being a member in 1991 and there's no denying the principles the group was founded on in 1989. It's almost kind of a slap in the face that he ends up attending Mandela's funeral, to pay respects to Mandela after he helped establish a group whose mandate it was to counter the release of Mandela from prison and to continue apartheid in South Africa.

A lot of people, myself included, supported South Africa and Rhodesia back then. My own basic belief was that the two choices were support a pro-West government which, while being a dictatorship, was reasonably stable and competent, or let a rabble of anti-Western Marxists take control and run the place into the ground. As we saw in Zimbabwe, that is precisely what happened. There's really no argument that Black Zimbabweans were better off in every respect under apartheid than they have been under Robert Mugabe's dictatorship. As for Mandela, I underestimated him. He turned out to be a remarkable man and a true democrat. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to build anything lasting, and now that he's dead South Africa's delayed descent into a brutal Marxist dictatorship is well under way.

Je suis Omar Posted March 31, 2015 Report Posted March 31, 2015 I thought this division of politics into left and right is mainly about economics. The nazis are called nazis because they were national socialists. That's terribly, to be generous, naive. Yes, I'm certain everyone hates Nazis simply because of their national socialism. Quote
