Argus Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 Nothing will prevent Trudeau's enthusiastic support for such a commitment. But commitments can be broken by the next government. The current amount is already damaging support for immigration and the refugee system, with growing majorities opposing them. And if the amount of refugees coming into Canada increases significantly his government will be in real trouble. Unfortunately, that likely won't happen until AFTER the coming election, which he is likely to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

US: Trump Austria: The current government of Austria is a coalition government formed by the center-right Austrian People's Party (ÖVP) and the far-right Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ). Italy: Unstable coalition gov't where one of the major (and fastest rising) parties is Lega Nord which has: embraced Italian nationalism and emphasised Euroscepticism, opposition to immigration and other "populist" policies while forming an alliance with right-wing populist parties such as France's National Front, the Netherlands' Party for Freedom and the Freedom Party of Austria at the European level. Hungary: Fidesz – Hungarian Civic Alliance (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈfidɛs]; in full, Hungarian: Fidesz – Magyar Polgári Szövetség) is a national-conservative[3][4][5] and right-wing populist[5][4][9] political party in Hungary. It has dominated Hungarian politics on the national and local level since its landslide victory in the 2010 national elections So, opposition by right-wing populist governments (read anti-immigrant) and possibly Japan (historically anti-immigration) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sketch pokes fun at people using preconceived notions, falsly dressing up the facts, and and using faulty logic in coming to conclusions. I thought it fit. Free expression regarding immigration is protected, as it should be. Hate speech regarding immigrants is not, and should not be. Nothing in this non-binding UN pact changes that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should find it absurdly personal. Don't you agree? Feelings, insights, affections...it's suddenly trivial now. You don't agree. You're wrong. The personal life is dead in Russia.
