I think this video raises an interesting moral dilemma related to abortion. In some states, a habitual drinker can be forced into rehab. But here's the question: does human life begin at conception or at birth? If human life starts at birth, then just as a pregnant woman should be allowed to...

I'd eat that if I were hungry enough.

I was thinking that maybe the best way to get racists out of our hairs is to give them their space. Imagine for example that we selected some isolated community and declared it an English-only or French-only zone. Unless you're English (or French, depending on the zone), though you could enter...

Historically, the citizens of city states resisted the amalgamation of their city states into nation states, but advancements in society and technology forced the nation onto them. Today, the same changes are now pushing the world towards world federation, and so the nationalists of today resist...

I figured my friends of various backgrounds and I could wear them to our next multicultural or multifaith event just across the street from a KKK meeting place just to rub their noses in it.

'I don't know that we can help you': RCMP boss 'consumed' with 'inability' to investigate in digital world - CBC News | Investigates I lean in favour of giving them powers comparable to those in the UK. Ironically, I believe that this could better protect an accused from corrupt police...

If Canada is going to build stronger relations with the US, Trudeau will need to find common ground with Trump, but that will be a challenge. Trump is anti-immigration, Trudeau pro-immigration. Trump is anti-trade, Trudeau pro-free-trade. Trump intends to lower taxes and increase spending...

Trump will probably deregulate resource-extraction policies and lower taxes. With that, any carbon tax increase in Canada will need to be compensated for by a reduction in income taxes, value added taxes, and business taxes for example if Canada intends to remain competitive. That way, while the...

Trump's opposition to trade deals could help Canadian workers, says union president - CBC.ca | Metro Morning Unifor says NAFTA bad but worries Trump will slap a 35% tariff of Canadian auto exports to the US. So what does UNIFOR want? That the US support unilateral free trade whereby Canada...

How would the following idea work to counter Nimbyism? A municipality can declare itself a free economic zone. By doing so, it enjoys a tariff and quota free status on all imports and no business tax on certain categories of businesses, but it must also accept anything other municipalities...

Why does Canada insist on including this in its trade agreements? I get that investors was protection from discrimination against them, but sometimes it goes too far. For example, if Canada adopts tougher anti-tobacco laws, as long as they don't discriminate between domestic and foreign...

A friend of mine accused of having violated Canadian immigration law a while back had participated in an adversarial hearing in which the judge had to rule on a mere balance of probabilities and she had difficulty proving her innocence of the charge against her due to the Minister's counsel...

Your thoughts? I personally think it could benefit both countries, on the condition that it doesn't affect Canada's access to the US market which is far more important to us than the UK's. For example, NAFTA does impose certain rules on Canada and the US that Canada should respect so as to...

It was an illegal annexation, but one that the majority of the local population of the annexed region supported. We are now exercizing economic sanctions against Russia until it fixes the problem. But what do we understand by fixing the problem? Those who actively promoted the annexation...
