    Your thoughts on Erin O'toole and CANZUK?

    https://erinotoole.ca/canzuk/ Though the idea does reveal his ethnocentrism, I still see it as a step in the right direction as long as it does not come at the expense of more closed borders to countries that are more geographically closer to us. After all, though open borders between Canada...

    Can one be for more open borders and for more racial freedom?

    I might hold an odd combination of beliefs. On the one hand, I'm for much more open borders than even the NDP has ever proposed. I also tend to oppose unfair privileges conferred on specific ethnic groups through excessive official bilingualism or the separate school system among other examples...

    How best to help Bombardier!

    Give each Canadian some money that he can give to the poor struggling business of his choice other than his own each year. I would give to my local grocery store. At least that way I'd be subsidizing my food purchases. I don't know about you guys, but I myself am not a big consumer of...

    How do we promote the well-being of all workers?

    How do we promote the well-being of all workers? Often we seem to like to try to pit workers against one another across national boundaries, but that can only hurt all workers in the end. So how do we promote the well-being of all workers across international boundaries?

    I'm starting to appreciate Brexit a little more now that Trump is in power.

    I was a little harsh against Brexiteers, thinking how ridiculous it was of them to turn their backs on their main trading partners. But at the same time, what happens when those same partners force the UK to take sides? In some respects, Trump will do this to Canada. If Trump decides that to...

    Pregnant woman downing drinks. What would you do?

    Should we give racists their space?

    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...
