So. . . "common sense" like Hula Hoops, the McCarthy witch hunts, and the FBI hunting for "Communist influences" in movies and song lyrics? The "common sense" of Jim Crow? The "common sense" of men being allowed to rape their wives with no legal consequences? Or the "common sense" of the residential schools?

Every era has had idiots, Einstein!

C4 calls in security experts after presenter suffers online abuse

https://amp.theguardian.com/society...se?CMP=share_btn_tw&__twitter_impression=true

Tolerant alt....or whatever.

Tolerant is one thing....being told to shut up and bend over and spread `em is quite another- yet its what LIE-berals demand of us! Consider:

Here is the Cdn formula for producing radical Jihadists:

Start by inviting a mob of desperate Syrians to Canada. Pretend that their educational qualifications will be honoured-and then make it hard for them to get Cdn licenses for their skills. Offer up a fine array of promises regarding language skills and re-training, upgrading etc and then DON’T DELIVER!

Take people who used to have clean respectable homes of their own in Syria and move them into Metro Toronto Housing slums. Make them ride Cdn public transit-which happens to be much inferior to what they had at home.

In our current economy, its often easier for women to find work than for men-so let those Syrian men-the former bread winners and heads of households have the novel new experience of staying home with the kids while wife is out-doing .....whatever? We know that Muslim men believe women are sinful and weak-which is why they generally must not be permitted to leave home without permission of hubby and usually require a male escort.

Expose Syrians to all manner of `eccentric` Cdn customs-like having LOTS of female teachers and allowing kids of both genders to mix freely-with Muslim girls wanting NOT to stand out in a crowd by wearing that restrictive Muslim clothing. Such a great idea to vastly INCREASE the level of friction between parents and naturally rebellious teens! It is exactly this friction that persuaded Mohamed Shafia to murder his first wife and 2 daughters-they had adopted the anti Muslim/ sluttish ways of Cdn women and shamed him so they HAD to die! Then have Our brainless Boy Justin Trudope state that honour killings are NOT barbaric-nothing like public support for misogynists from the LIE-beral Party!

Get Syrian girls interested in ballet and figure skating so they can enrage their parents by wanting to flaunt themselves just like the semi dressed shameless Cdn sluts on stage! Make sure un-employed and totally bored Dad has plenty of time to sit home and brood-or go to Mosque and bitch with other angry men.

Send older Syrian kids to community college. Let them run up huge educational debts while being lied to about what their future job prospects will be! A lot of kids in community college have bought into the horse shit sales pitch of the colleges about their graduates becoming respected members of the working world and having fine secure careers. Let Syrian kids spend all that money-just like so many of OUR kids- only to find they are condemned to endless night shifts at crap wages-that also happen to be frozen-while taxes and living costs SOAR! And then let them discover how quickly those limited college skills become obsolete-requiring ever MORE costly training! Those promises of a good living wage after college graduation are just that-promises-made by LIE-berals!

Make sure the college graduate has plenty of time to sit in a ratty little room, brooding over the `little exaggerations` that were made by govt re Syrian/Cdn future! Make sure also they will probably find it necessary to spend some years/as much as a decade after graduation- living with parents as its all they can afford.

Ensure that Syrian guys will find it hard to get a girlfriend-Cdns girls may flirt with handsome Syrians but what Cdn girl would get serious about a guy from a society where honour killings are common? And Syrian women are going to have difficulties as well since they are being influenced and educated to want a guy with a more mild Cdn style set of values-which dead broke Syrian grads are NOT being encouraged to develop!

Elect a LIE-beral Cdn govt that refuses to fight groups like ISIS; one that states-like Our brainless Boy leader-that “killing your enemies means they win”. Ensure that restless, semi employed Syrian guys become convinced that decadent westerners lack the moral fibre to defend their values and are to blame for all Muslim frustrations and problems.

Allow radicals in Cnd Mosques and religious schools to speak freely of the superiority of Sharia Law over all other systems-including democracy and persuade the guys that only Islam can save them from the lies and mis- representation and general decadence of western civilization-which cannot even get them steady work sweeping floors. Make sure the bored and horny guys understand that with just a little effort and sweat they can be NOBLE Jihadists fighting against the western devils for the glory of Allah. Let it be understood that successful Jihadists can pick over the captured infidel women and assemble a harem that they can use as they please-since its no crime to do rude things to unbelievers. And let it be known that ISIS has no restriction on selling drugs for fun and profit to un-believers.

So how do we prevent young Muslims from getting angry enough, bored enough, horny enough and generally screwed up enough to decide it would be good to get all Jihadist on us?

Here is a radical idea: lets recognize that Muslim values are totally incompatible with ours and that its hard on them and on us for Muslims to be brought here to become a minority with beliefs that we generally consider primitive and unsuitable to OUR modern life. We don’t have the money to train them in a useful way and we don’t have the jobs to employ them properly either-the trifecta of awkward social values, limited English skills, lack of real Cdn work and life experience, reluctance to work alongside or come in contact with Cdn `sluts` in the work place, coupled with general Cdn suspicion that Muslims are all potential mad dog killers will ensure that few Syrians fully integrate in the long term-and the ones that do integrate will be seen as traitors and failed Muslims by their more hard line-Sharia oriented Muslim neighbours.

Sadly, either Muslims will have to lose much of their current system of social values and religious beliefs in order to integrate smoothly or they will end up drifting back to Syria so they can live as they feel proper so they can get free of our influence. Or-the scary option- they will shed our blood in an effort to reform us and compel Canada to join the Caliphate!

We should ask: are we helping or harming Syrian family life and sanity (and our own future security) by bringing them here to be confronted and forced to deal with and live with social conditions they find utterly immoral and unsuitable? And who-other than LIE-berals who feel they can safely BUY Syrian votes-is benefitting from bringing such hard to adapt and integrate immigrant security risks here? Would it not be better to help Syrians stay home by making serious efforts to depose Syrian butcher Assad and end the civil war? AND MINIMIZE Cdn security risks?

Foolish LIE-berals have brought in 37,000 Syrian refugees out of HOW MANY MILLIONS lined up in various refugee camps around the world? The LIE-beral effort is just a grossly costly and dangerous TOKEN gesture! Its meaningless to millions of Muslims but HUGELY significant to future Cdn victims of terror-after who is to say there are not other Muslims-more discreet than the last pair-quietly studying the Highland Creek Bridge and dreaming of Via trains sailing off into space loaded with screaming unbelievers! Oh Canada-pray the FBI continues to stand on guard for you!

Oh yes- that would suit your LIE-beral Islamophobia MADNESS to a `T`! You do realize that the LIE-beral party has enraged the great majority of Cdns with their Khadr Krap and Muslim madness! It is entirely clear to Cdns that LIE-berals are bigots and haters of white people- Our idiot Boy Justin has even TOLD us of his `shame`!!

Cannuck or Hoid, whoever you are, crap is spelled with a 'c'. Points will be deducted for misspellings and poor attempts at humour.

Your PM, Justin Trudeau, expects that you will bow to him. He is, after all, your PM, and one of your betters.

In fact, the whole of Parliament, the tall and the small, are your intellectual and social betters. You'd best get used to it. You cannot hide behind the Internets. :lol:

Is the 'ee' in the word pee, silent?

Clarity. Reason. Neither is his strong suit.

Here is an article illustrating the creeping poison being spread through
Canada by the Muslim immigrants that badly biassed LIE-berals- desperate to buy votes at any price- give special preference to. With some comments of my own in brackets):

BY Sue-Ann LEVY: Student leader reported to police for anti-Israel hate speech at rally.

(The title say it all I guess- so much for the tolerance and understanding that LIE-berals DEMAND of all Cdns while ignoring Muslim versions of Hate!)

Published: December 15, 2017. Updated: December 16, 2017 9:57 AM EST

Filed Under: Toronto SUN/ News/ Toronto & GTA

Nour Alideeb, the current chairperson of the Ontario branch of the Canadian Federation of Students, speaks at a anti-Israel rally outside the U.S. Consulate in Toronto on Saturday, Dec. 9, 2017. YouTube

A student who made highly outrageous claims about the Jewish state at a recent anti-Israel rally has been reported to the Toronto police hate crimes unit by the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center.

(And we can be assured that the reverse bigots of the Human Rights- but too often Wrong Commission will give the complaint the attention they figure it deserves- it will end up in the nearest waste basket!)

According to a YouTube video of her remarks, obtained by the Toronto Sun, Nour Alideeb, the current chairperson of the Ontario branch of the Canadian Federation of Students contends that tuition money from the 350,000 university and college students she purports to represent is “going to pay for military resources in Israel to kill children” like her.

(One has to admire the Muslim capacity for dreaming up insane conspiracy theories! Their blind hate of all things western, coupled with limited knowledge of western history, makes for wonderful fertilizer for crude Muslim propagandists! In past decades one had to ingest a lot of LSD to come up with ideas about how to connect student tuition and military hardware! But ever hating Muslim paranoia has bridged that drug fuelled mental gap!)

The student leader was one of the many guest speakers at a Dec. 9 anti-Israel rally in front of the U.S. Consulate called after U.S. President Donald Trump announced he was prepared to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

Similar rallies were held in other Canadian cities and around the world.

Alideeb, introduced by rally organizers as a “sister” who fights for Palestine in her role as student leader, also contends this is not a Jewish vs. Muslim “thing” but it is all about Zionism- clearly not understanding that Zionism is in fact a Jewish “thing” and Israel is the Jewish state.

(And the Jewish Kingdom existed long before Islam and Palestinian land claims!)

“This is about Zionism and Zionism is rooted in white supremacy…it is rooted in racism, it is rooted in anti-blackness… this is colonialism and we cannot allow them to divide us,” she told those assembled at the rally.

(Oh! That white supremacy thing- so we are now ALL basically Jews unless we genuflect before Sharia Law?)

She did not elaborate on who she meant by “them” but she did say Canada is just as bad as the United States.

(Any person who disputes ANY facet of the Muslim historical rant is denigrated as an Islamophobe- which is why Cdn LIE-beral interest in setting punishments for Islamophobia- WITHOUT bothering to define the so called crime- is such a POISONOUS idea! The LIE-beral M 103 “motion” that LIE-berals are seeking to turn into law is the work of SHAMELESS FASCISTS! Nazi Joseph Goebbels would admire the values on display in that twisted LIE-beral “motion” which seems to be getting carefully designed for use as a weapon to silence critics of ANY LIE-beral policy! Justice and civil rights take a back seat to LIE-beral efforts to buy Muslim votes so they can cling to power at any price! The optics are UGLY as the LIE-beral committee studying the proposed “law” is spending more time defining suitable punishments and scorning dissenting voices than in actually defining the “crime”!)

Alideeb did not respond to several requests for comment by phone, e-mail and Facebook Friday.


However, FWSC CEO and President Avi Benlolo said in addition to the complaint filed with the Toronto Police hate crimes unit, they’ve asked the leadership of the CFS to review Alideeb’s statements.

Good luck on the latter, considering CFS has become a far left organization dedicated to social justice.

(This is the natural result of grossly flawed LIE-beral immigration policy that lets in all sorts of people who believe- as the Trudeau family does- that what Pierre Trudope called “Cdn Imperialism” must be destroyed! With the added bonus that civil service union Hogs have cashed in and sold many places in Cdn universities to hostile foreigners who are now dominating Student Unions on campuses! These loud and abrasive friends and allies of LIE-beral Party do NOT speak for ordinary Cdns! Hence the troubles LIE-berals are now having with polling numbers!)

“It is our concern that such remarks contribute to the vilification of Jewish Canadians as we have witnessed at all too many rallies on Toronto streets,” Benlolo said. “It is extremely concerning to see a student leader denigrate an entire community…(one that) includes thousands of the very students she claims to represent.”

(Hate crimes in Canada are going down- with the exception of crimes against Jews- which have SPIKED up wards over 25 percent in one year! Muslims are just as happy to blame Cdns for the Trump travel ban as they are to condemn Yankees! We are all westerners and all Infidels in Muslim eyes and are all therefore HATEFUL to their God! Muslims see NO neutral parties!)

Earlier this week, the FWSC issued a release denouncing another rally participant carrying a sign that read: “911 was a Zionist job.”

(Oh- at least Muslims are not blaming George Bush for 911 and suggesting he did it to have an excuse to attack Muslims? Is this progress?)

None of the left-wing media — in particular the CBC and the Star — covering last Saturday’s rally mentioned one word about the anti-Israel hate clearly evident at the event.

Rex is from an era when common sense was the norm!

People like Rex are fossils from a time when LIE-beral propaganda was taken seriously because the nation was not yet bankrupt!

When Rex was a kid, Cdn public opinion was divided between the strong people who fought their way through the Dirty Thirties and WW2 and the whiners who thought- and STILL think- that they can have a free lunch if only they elect the right political liars!

Rex has beliefs.....and that is all.

Oh yes- Rex and his LIE-beral pals have MANY beliefs- its why they THINK they are entitled!


Here is an article illustrating the HUGE economic mess that LIE-berals have made of international trade. The article illustrates that trade and job issues can not be sorted out by giving control over to a committee made up of LIE-beral loons such as Our idiot Boy Justin and a cabal of third world despots from places like China, Russia and Iran! With some comments of my own in brackets):

GUEST COLUMN: Trump, trade and the China syndrome
Special to Postmedia Network

BONOKOSKI: The curious case of Boyle and Trudeau

David T. Jones, Special to Postmedia Network. For centuries there was no question of trade being for “mutual benefit”.

Rather, states sought colonies, essentially for exploitation, to extract useful material from at low prices, while dumping excess industrial products manufactured in the “mother country” at high cost.

Ostensibly, economic theory eventually moved on to “mutual benefit” with the emphasis on “comparative advantage”, wherein each country provides the products it produces most efficiently and a trade balance results.

This theory falters when countries with effectively nothing worthy of trade end up borrowing from those countries who still push products upon them. The resulting debt loads have economy-distorting consequences for both borrowers and lenders.

(Much of our current trade problem is related to credit. In a gold based economy- meaning your wealth is measured in gold coins and your spending is limited by how many coins you have; and prices are regulated as well since the seller may choose to accept fewer coins- on the grounds that a cheap sale is better than no sale- if you are poor. But all these mechanisms that used to regulate sales and trade are GONE! Swept away in a tide of paper money and easy credit.)

(After WW2, western govts chose to end the “gold standard”- the traditional measurement of wealth- in large part because of all the looting and destruction that occurred during the war- staggering sums of gold and art and all manner of stuff was stolen or lost. Going off that gold standard allowed govt to get things running again while police sifted through various claims for compensation and ownership that are still going on 70 years later- with various art galleries arguing over who owns what. Problem is the gold standard is gone and it has not been replaced- there is no longer any real control over trade and deficits. This permits bankrupt Greeks to hide the scale of their bankruptcy. And it allows Chinese and other third world countries to manipulate currency on a grand scale.)

One classic approach for a country developing its industry and economy is to put high tariffs on imported goods. Theoretically, once these industries are strong enough to “stand on their own”, the tariffs can be reduced or eliminated.

Of course, that approach reduces profits of the now powerful manufacturers, who see no interest in enhancing competition. For a generation following World War II, the U.S. had no realtrade competition. It was the global powerhouse for manufacturing efficiency and technological innovation.

U.S. products, particularly automobiles, supported a vast U.S. middle class in which an auto worker could count on a well-paid, lifetime job. The U.S. ran trade surpluses and was the great global lender. Goods imported from other countries were regarded as cheap and shoddy.

But then the U.S. lost its “mojo.” Competitors, most notably Japan, were able to take advantage of new factories, using new technology and cheap labor. They challenged simultaneous U.S. technological failures, high prices, and social arrogance. U.S. cars were suddenly inferior.

The media were besieged with articles and studies suggesting Japan was about to lead the world in everything. Japan obliged this fear by purchasing a wide array of highly visible U.S. properties.

(The reality is that Japan was accumulating a mass of Yankee dollars and needed to do something with this cash- and what better idea than to re-invest that cash in United States? Japan took paper money that can and does fluctuate in value- and one has only to look at the vast crap game/floating casino that is the stock market to understand how volatile mere paper is- and turned their dollars into hard assets- such as real estate- which happens to be a product in ever shorter supply and ever increasing value!)

U.S. government trade efforts focused on thwarting Japan, and in an ancillary manner Mexico, whose low labor prices were (supposedly) producing a “vast sucking sound,” in Ross Perot’s words, pulling U.S. jobs south of the Rio Grande.

(Yes- that “vast sucking sound” was heard here in Canada as well- with the LIE-beral Chretien govt presiding over a debauched Cdn economy where our dollar hit $63 cents U.S. A combination of low Mexican wages and insane LIE-beral vote buying nearly bankrupted Canada! Only major tax increases by LIE-berals and serious cuts to federal fund transfers to the provinces reversed the flow of red ink! And later, the Conservative govt of Harper held the line on federal wage increases for civil service Hogs! Frugality is a good thing- too bad LIE-berals despise it and must literally have guns put to their heads to make them save a penny! Chretien LIE-berals ran on a promise to kill NAFTA and then chickened out after winning the election- the economic reality of dead NAFTA costs would be too high!)

But while America was focused on Japan and Mexico, China, quietly and efficiently “ate our lunch”.

China now has a massive trade surplus driven by manufacturing efficiency and currency manipulation.

(Yes- that paper money is wonderful stuff- you can make it worth whatever you want- especially in a CLOSED economic system like China where foreigners do NOT get to see the books! Its even easier to manipulate when local Chinese govt gets to decide what products MAY be offered for sale to the local people! This is in sharp contrast to the Cdn experience where our dollar went from that nasty $63 cents over to $1.05 U.S. and took a PILE of jobs away as Cdn goods began to cost to much!)

His country arguably now the factory for the world, Chinese leader Xi Jinping recently announced a “Made in China 2025” policy described as “involving local content requirements and the elimination of foreign suppliers.”

(So xenophobic Chinese are now implementing a “made in China” program that makes the Trump model look open and inclusive! And Our idiot Boy Justin thinks he can destroy NAFTA with his feminist/native rights blather and then make up the economic difference with Chinese business? HAHAHAHAHA!!!)

For the U.S., the past 20 years have seen the loss of two million manufacturing jobs.

(Automation is the real killer of most of these jobs. Robots are increasingly commonplace even in third world pest holes- its all about speed and efficiency and robots don’t get tired or sick or forget details. Reality is there are very few jobs to recover-especially in the automotive business which Trump is mainly focussed on. In addition -thanks to huge competition our vehicles are more reliable and longer lasting than ever before- meaning we buy new ones less often!)

Plus, growing frustration expressed by displaced workers that trade agreements reducing costs for manufacturing imports have cost them their jobs, for which “retraining”, or McJobs, are poor substitutes.

(LIE-berals keep assuring us our economy is “booming” but desperate LIE-berals do NOT want to tell us that the only good full time jobs out there are for govt employees- with the rest of us stuck in those McJobs and struggling financially! Cdn biz is cutting costs by killing good full time work and replacing it with part time and short term crap work. This trend will only increase as LIE-berals bomb business with their electricity price gouging and minimum wage garbage! The ugly truth is we Cdns cannot produce enough gravy to satisfy the civil service Hogs that LIE-berals rely on to keep them in power! It is LIE-beral gravy traded for Hog votes- and SCREW the general public!)

Hence, U.S. President Donald Trump’s urge to eliminate or reject trade agreements such as the Trans Pacific Partnership and call into question agreements such as NAFTA with Canada and Mexico

Trump’s claim, which resonates massively with voters, if not economists, is that the U.S. has been outsmarted and out-negotiated in these agreements.

(Western govts decided after WW2- that breaking down trade barriers would promote peace as countries that do lots of business are presumed to be unlikely to fight each other. This concept works with Europeans but it clearly does not work with third world nations in Middle East and in Asia! It is China that is happily stirring the pot in blood soaked Darfur/South Sudan as they pursue oil and natural gas contracts. It is Russians and Chinese who happily sell weapons to Iran, North Korea and Syria and it is bankrupt western govts that get to deal with the swarming millions of refugees- many of whom represent national security risks!)

China is a tougher problem, especially since Washington is desperately attempting to induce Beijing to castrate North Korea’s nuclear program.

Perhaps, while it is currently a rudimentary idea, a coordinated U.S./European Union, World Trade Organization action might secure better Chinese adherence to WTO rules.

(IN other words- when Trump called out NATO “slackers” especially including Canada- he was on the right track! A united front can achieve better results than a few isolated individuals! And a firm commitment to greater economic cooperation between like minded western countries can balance out influence from dictators and bullies! Too bad Our idiot boy Justin is so bigoted against Yankees he would rather see NAFTA die than agree with Yankees on ANYTHING! Our idiot Boy is deliberately hurting NAFTA by ignoring very real Yankee fears that Cdn national security is so sloppy that Yankees risk importing Muslim terrorists along with their Cdn dairy and softwood lumber!)

(LIE-beral policy is running in circles as usual- they shun trade with the Yankee democracy and seek out trade with Chinese dictators! But what can we expect form Our idiot Boy- who has his fathers vile values! After all it was Pierre Trudope who heaped fawning praise on Chinese Chairman Mao “for his genius in rushing 30 million Chinese to the gallows” just so he could cement his power over China!)
