China, it is unfair of you to single out Canada for an ailment sweeping the western democracies. Incompetence corruption violence disease and ignorance are not confined to Canada.
agree , ,they are everywhere, to different degrees.........including Canada . I do feel privileged to be a citizen of this Country .The facts that I place in the forum are just that , facts.
It's not healthy to live a life of illusion.

Do you believe there are more racist behaviors in today’s society compared to 50 years ago.

It is certainly more apparent Goob, considering the wide array of technology at our fingertips today - people only too willing to share their thoughts, and the special coverage given by the media to the more blatant racist behaviors. It is also more frowned upon than in days gone by when racist terms were part of the language of the day.

Petros nailed it when he wrote, 'The more things change, the more they stay the same'. There will always be a certain segment of all populations who hold racist beliefs, it is the nature of some humans. Education is a key to changing these beliefs by refuting them with incontrovertible fact.

In the early 1900's the same words were voiced by the English who were disturbed by the Polish and Ukrainians immigrants showing up by the boatload.

Where would Canada be today without the expertise they brought with them?

The Irish weren't exactly welcomed with open arms either.

And where would I be now? ;-)

When I arrived in Canada ('64)for four years I was brought up by Irish . Christian brothers of Ireland .......

That's very interesting China..............I was, however, thinking of the immigrants who came a little further back then 1964, say the 1840s.

Transit cops left bomb on plane
VANCOUVER – Transit Police lost explosive materials aboard an Air Canada plane during a 2011 training exercise in Vancouver and didn’t realize it was missing for two days, according to documents obtained by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

Maybe the transit cops didn't really lose it at all..... I'm thinking that they were waiting for you to board the flight

Come, come now china... That comment says more about yourself considering that you left the door so wide open as to elicit such a response.

Tactics and strategy have a far greater impact than does simple 'intelligence' alone.

Multi-tasking my friend....

Say, we're looking at JVing with a Chinese based group in bring some perforating tech to NorAm... Does that count in helping keep the country afloat?
