So you hate immigrants yet see nothing g wrong with the sex trade?
I never wudda thunk.
Priorities, he.
You said I should make friends with my Injun neighbours even though they are junkies. Guess what? The sex trade is how they earn their money for junk.
There is a difference between wanting to criminalize fornication and hating fornicators.

A prosecutor can more easily prove fornication than paying for sex or sexual assault beyond a reasonable doubt.
Is a big population a good thing? With so much concern about the environment, I would contend that a big population would just f**k it up even more than it already is.
If Prostitution was legalized and regulated wouldn't there be less opportunity for tax evasion?
Perhaps some prostitutes might be leery of Aiding and abetting the Gov't.!
There you go making sense . We want to lower our carbon footprint while increasing our population , I always wonder when someone will square that circle .Is a big population a good thing?

Prostitution brings with it many social harms.
As for a big population and the environment, migration between jurisdictions does not increase the overall population. Only birth rates do that.
Finland stabbings 'a likely terror act;' Ties to Spain eyed

HELSINKI — The knife attack in western Finland that left two people dead and seven others wounded is “a likely terror act,” Finland’s intelligence agency said Saturday, while police said Europol was investigating if it had any ties to deadly vehicle attacks in Spain.
The suspect — an 18-year-old Moroccan asylum-seeker — was shot and wounded in the thigh by police during his rampage Friday in the city of Turku. He was hospitalized under guard — still in intensive care Saturday — and is being investigated for murder with possible terrorist intent, police said.
His name has not been released but investigators say he came to Finland in early 2016 seeking asylum.
“It’s likely at this moment that we’re dealing with a terror attack,” intelligence agency investigator Pekka Hiltunen said, adding that it was investigating the suspect’s connections to the Islamic State group, since IS “has previously encouraged this kind of behaviour.”
The agency however did not change the country’s threat assessment following the Friday attack.
Crista Granroth of the National Bureau of Investigation said the suspect’s attack was very focused.
“We think the attacker was going after women,” Granroth said, adding that one man was slashed with the knife when he tried to stand between the attacker and a woman.
The suspect has yet to be questioned, while four others, also Moroccans living in Turku who know him, were detained on suspicion of involvement. An international arrest warrant had been issued for a sixth person, police said, declining to elaborate.
The two dead were Finnish women, while the seven wounded included four Finns, and one Italian, one Briton and one Swedish man. Two of the wounded were still in intensive care. The youngest victim was 15, the oldest 67, police said.
Prime Minister Juha Sipila told a news conference that if confirmed as an act of terrorism, “it’s the first time Finland has encountered such a terror act.”
“Finland is not an island,” he said. “We have feared something like this but we have been prepared,” Sipila said, called the attack “a cowardly act.”
Sipila told reporters he had spoken with several European leaders, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, about the attack.
The NBI said investigators were working with colleagues from the Finnish Security Intelligence Service, police in Turku and the European Union’s police agency, Europol. Robin Lardot, head of the NBI, said Europol was helping to check whether there are connections to the vehicle attacks in Barcelona but refused to elaborate.
The Swedish security service said it was helping its Finnish colleagues.
In June, the Finnish Security Intelligence Service raised its threat assessment to the second level of a four-step scale, citing the Nordic country’s “stronger profile within the radical Islamist propaganda.” Finland was now considered part of the coalition against the Islamic State group, it said.
A man from Sweden who was stabbed in the arm had tried to help another victim who died.
“I tried to stop the violent bleeding from her throat ... The woman was so badly injured that she died in my arms,” Hassan Zubier told the Expressen tabloid.
The Ilta-Sanomat tabloid said one of the dead was a local Jehovah’s Witness who was handing out leaflets at a central Turku square. The religious group told the tabloid they believed the woman was randomly attacked.
Flowers and candles were placed on a square in Turku, and Finnish flags flew at half-staff across the country.
“We need to stick together now, hate is not to be answered by hate,” Sipila, the prime minister, said in a tweet. A minute of silence was planned for Sunday at 10 a.m.
Donald Tusk, the president of the European Council, wrote on Twitter that “Europeans stand with #Turku and called it ”another cowardly terrorist attack on innocents.“

Breitbart mocked after posting jet-ski migrant story with German soccer star photo

BERLIN — Germany’s Foreign Ministry is having some fun at the expense of a Breitbart News gaffe.
The online news site’s London operation on Friday used a photo of famous German soccer star Lukas Podolski riding on a jet-ski to illustrate a story headlined “Spanish Police Crack Gang Moving Migrants on Jet-Skis.”
The image prompted immediate online ridicule, and the site quickly removed it. The photo was taken of Podolski in 2014 just before the start of the World Cup final in Brazil.
Breitbart also apologized, saying “there is no evidence Mr. Podolski is either a migrant gang member, nor being human trafficked.”
The Foreign Ministry posted the same photo Monday on Facebook to advertise its upcoming open house, saying “if you want to visit via jet-ski, please use the Fischer Island dock.”

HELSINKI — A court in Finland has named the suspect in a stabbing rampage that killed two and wounded eight as 18-year-old Moroccan Abderrahman Mechkah, who is being treated in hospital after police shot him in the leg to subdue him in the south-western city of Turku.
According to court documents released Monday, regional police have requested the detention of Mechkah, a Moroccan asylum-seeker, on suspicion of murder, attempted murder, and terrorism crimes.
The regional court in Turku also said that four other Moroccans “are suspected of participation in the murders and attempted murders committed with a terrorist intent.”
Police investigators said they are exploring possible links to last week’s extremist attacks in Spain, where the main suspect at large is Moroccan, as were most of his known accomplices.

The literacy rate in Haiti is 50%. There are few who have any post-secondary education. There is almost no high technology. Most jobs are subsidence level. Given that low skilled jobs are disappearing in Canada, and likely to disappear even faster as automation takes hold, these people are likely going to be on welfare their entire lives in Canada. A growing population of resentful foreign underclass welfare recipients with no chance of getting the kind of life they see others have around them. What's that going to do to stability here?
"Forty-eight per cent of Canadian adults have inadequate literacy skills—a significant increase from a decade ago."

No but if you notice that even on this site, some of the Westerners here minus B00mer are actually very well spoken and articulated in their responses.
I actually wish i was as coherent as some of them cowboys and potato farmers.
Hate to tell you this, bud, but the majority of the increase is due to... wait for it... immigrants.
The variance between the educational/skill level of our immigrants today has never been so great. We're taking them from countries with little or no familiarity with English, and many are coming in under the family reunification or refugee programs, which don't require any language or skill checks. Even those who come in under the skills program because they have a university degree often don't speak English, and they bring their families with them who almost never speak English.
Specific socioeconomic groups continue to underperform. Performance by both immigrant and Aboriginal populations continue to trail their Canadian counterparts. Worryingly, established immigrants are not functioning at a higher competency level than recent immigrants.
That said, the fact remains that more than 60% of immigrants – whether established or not – have literacy skills below the level 3 category. Established immigrants (those that have been in the country for more than 10 years) have only a slightly smaller proportion of its population in the lower categories (60%) compared to recent immigrants (63%). Similar numbers hold true for the numeracy readings.
