I personally do not support the attempt. http://news.nationalpost.com/news/canada/ontario-court-to-consider-application-to-stop-cleveland-from-wearing-offensive-baseball-jerseys-in-toronto I'm not sure it's a legal issue, but I think testing it in the courts is worthwhile ... to draw attention to the ignorance in continuing to use that name, mascot(?) and logo. At some point, the team may decide that the controversy is a distraction to their real purpose ... playing ball. That will be a good thing.

jacee Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 It would be impossible for the court to deny use of the word "Indians" when the courts are bound to enforce "The Indian Act" in Canada. It was a rather futile gesture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is certain speech that will not be tolerated in Canada, and many politically incorrect speech has been shut down by intolerant bigots as has been shown on many of his shows. But don't take my word for it just ask Paul Fromm and Arthur Topham as examples about that. They can give you an earful about how freedom of speech really works in Canada. But go on believing how freedom of speech is tolerated and welcomed and protected in Canada. It looks to me like you are not getting or reading the other side of the story. Aw well. It's sad when people mistake 'freedom of speech' for unfettered ability to promote hatred and violence. Even so, people are free to say a lot of things - although I agree it crosses a line when a person advocates sterilizing an entire group of people, as Topham did. Fromm is certainly doing an inordinate amount of talking (and publishing), for someone who's free speech has been "shut down". This does look like an argument of "if you don't agree with and support me, then you are denying me my rights" - which is pretty delusional thinking.

You can say what ever you want too but expect a reply from me if I don't believe or agree with what you are saying. Some people should consider sterilizing themselves because many are a burden on the rest of the world with their over the top birth rates. Just my opinion of course.

dialamah Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 I think extremists cause all the problems in the world .. Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, White Supremacists and advocates for the white race. There are too many extremists causing problems, and so lets sterilize them. /s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sustainable, predictable military funding also comes to mind. There are other things. The point of course is that all governments make reversals of promises when confronted with reality.

Benz Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 On 2016-10-11 at 0:49 PM, Benz said: I think Trump managed himself to get all that attention and has no intention to change the formula. He is not complaining. I did not follow the english canadian medias that much, but here we had enough news in the french media about the very corporatist side of Hillary. We very aware that she represents and works for the establishment and have not much in common with the "real people". She has no effect or does not generate any inspiration like Obama did few years ago. The sincerity lacks badly she is VERY lucky to have Trump as the opponent for presidency. Now that the republican establishment is giving up on Trump, one would think that he is toasted and it will be an easy win for Clington. It is safe to say it is a bug possible outcome but, I would not be so sure about it. If Trump plays his cards well, he can manage to represent the image of the guy against the establishment (democrats and republicans), a guy of the people. He still can cause the surprise Just because the Bush family and so many other republicans do not like him, it makes him look more sympathic, or less terrible. He has nothing more to lose, Clington has every thing to lose. I would not bet on any of those two. Sometimes I wish I am wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When intolerance denies the right for the other person to speak that is where I have intolerance for intolerance. If one is of a politically incorrect mind it would appear that politicians, the corporate owned media, and special interest groups try to have one shut down because of their intolerance for others and their opinion and points of views. Censorship does exist in Canada. Ezra Levant can point that out to anyone who cares to listen to what he has to say about intolerance. But hey, who bothers, eh?
