Yup. Our Canadian population is increasing at such a rapid rate that overpopulation is going to be a big problem here in about ... oh ... three centuries or so.

Yup the Palistinians treat the Israelites to rockets .

I wonder if the Palestinians have figured out what an incredibly stupid thing that is to do. It set their cause back four decades for nothing more than the perverse "satisfaction" of killing Jews at random with dumb, unguided rockets.


There are a few seriously misguided posters on this forum that believe if you don't agree with Trump, you are somehow automatically a small "l" liberal "snowflake". Well Kenney ain't one of those. The dichotomy at work here is sanity/insanity not left/right.

'Look north': Muslim Gold Star father's message to Trump

Khizr Khan, the American Gold Star father who gave an impassioned speech against Donald Trump’s proposed Muslim immigration ban during last year’s Democratic National Convention, says he hopes the U.S. president can learn from how Canada treats immigrants.

Khan, whose son was killed by a suicide bomber in Iraq, told CTV’s Question Period Host Evan Solomon that he learned, during a recent trip to Toronto, that immigrants north of the border are often called “new Canadians.”

“These words speak volumes of how these resourceful, contributing members of our community are treated, are looked at,” he added. “To the Trump administration I say this: look to the north. Learn to take advantage of the essence that these immigrants bring.”

Khan continues to advocate against Trump’s temporary ban on refugees and immigrants from seven predominantly Muslim countries. He argues that the proposals are unconstitutional and will only make America a bigger target for terrorism.

"Enemies of the security and safety of the United States have been given a platform to speak now to 1.6 billion Muslims,” he said, referring to the global Islamic population. “They say,

‘See, we’ve been telling you that America is not your friend.’”

Khan noted that presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama both worked with the global Muslim community to fight against terrorism, while Trump “has alienated them.” Bush and Obama both repeatedly said that the U.S. is not at war with the Islamic faith, but with terrorists who pervert the religion.

During last July’s DNC convention, Khan famously offered to lend Trump his copy of the U.S. Constitution, so that he could “look for the words liberty and equal protection of law.”

It would be less work if we just rounded up the complainers and rehabilitate them whether they like it or not. .

Rehabilitation...... Like Frontal Lobotomy?

I like this guy's thinking, give him a promotion.

I also recommend regular doses of LSD for a month. Then send them to the forest to become lumberjacks and to appreciate nature.

Germany’s Angela Merkel attacks Donald Trump for targeting ‘people from specific background or faith’

Angela Merkel criticised Mr Trump’s orders EPA
Angela Merkel has criticised Donald Trump’s ban on some Muslim immigration, saying it is “not justified to put people from a specific background or faith under general suspicion” to combat terrorism.

A spokesman for Chancellor Merkel said the German leader believes the travel ban is wrong.

Spokesman Steffen Seibert said: “The Chancellor regrets the US government’s entry ban against refugees and citizens of certain countries.

“She is convinced that even the necessary, resolute fight against terrorism doesn’t justify putting people of a particular origin or particular faith under general suspicion.

“The Geneva Refugee Convention requires the international community to take in refugees from war on humanitarian grounds. All signatory states are expected to do so. The Chancellor explained this policy to the US President in their call yesterday.

“The German government will now examine what consequences the measure of the US government will have for German citizens with double citizenship and will represent their interests, if necessary, before our American partners.”

Yet I notice Khizr Khan is still living in the United States of America . I wonder why he hasn't moved to kinder gentler Canada ?
