loulou77: NObody has all the facts, but it doesn't mean the ones at our disposal are good for nothing, t doesn't mean these facts should be dismissed because they do not fit your agenda, just mention yours, as you were talking about mine.

You talk about compassion - does your compassion apply only to the 20,000, or whatever number Canada is taking in, what happens to the person that is 20,001 or 20,002 or 20,010? Of course, not your problem. How good are the criteria used to select these lucky ones? How good are the ones judging and selecting? What happens to the ones who fled Syria but did not dare go to the camps for fear of being harrassed there because of their religion?

You should listen to the clip I provided...I am not a US citizen but do listen to the debates...Trump's opinions do not resonate with all Americans...thank goodness...

The Syrian refugees would have been able to go to the US but the attitude has changed...it is a global issue...and too bad other countries are not showing compassion...but if Canada can help with the crisis...we do what we can...of course we have a process to screen refugees...I have faith in my government to handle this matter...

Some refugees have private sponsors whether it be relatives or organizations, people want to help as much as they can...but not every refugee wants to live in Canada...but some have taken a leap of faith...

Once again religion is your issue...I am sure there are many stories regarding fear of harassment but there are many good acts that exist too...like this one...
I do not share your point of view...fearing refugees is not one of them...nor do I fear Muslims...I work with a few gals who are Muslim at the hospital...nothing scary about them...
There are always going to be a few bad in the bunch...if they fail to adhere to Canadian laws...they will face punishment...like everyone else...


Again you do not provide any arguments or facts that would contradict mine. But as I said that is the difference between you and me. As for the clip, I am afraid I have a block on my comp and cannot watch any videos posted here, so if you send a link to it will watch. I also remember I have given you links to videos and articles written by phylosphers on this topic, have you read/watched them?

And I have to say that you are wrong again - religion is not my issue -I am sure I have much more experience with Muslims than you: a) when I studied in Zagreb I met many Muslims from Bosnia, but they were not flaunting their religion in front of our noses, they did not let their relgion separate themselves from the others, they did not demand we change our ways to accommodate theirs. b) there is a great cleaning lady in my office, she is a Muslim, does not differ from the others. It is not the problem in individuals, the problem is in groups - when numbers get bigger, the more demands are made.

I am not religious, I have been born into a Chatolic family, but not even my parents were religious. Religion when kept to yourself is fine and I respect that, religion bordering, or better to say equal to an ideology is not fine, it must be rejected.

As for Trump - I don't like the man, but what he said is not hate speech - all he said was: stop the intak, till we sort out the requirements and make sure the right ones come in. If he is the new US president or not is up to the citizens of the US not me or you. Unfortunately, the US being such a strong, influential country, their choice of the president will affect the world. With the mess we are in right now, I mean the world and especially the West, smoething radical will have to happen as this libertarianism has done harm to us and needs to be stopped. An before you accuse me of being conservative, right wing or whatever, let me just tell that I am not - I have been a leftie all my life, but what is happening now, what has been happening the last 10, 15 years is just nuts.

loulou77:
It is sometimes necessary to shut down stations or cancel events...such is life...and some do not want their holidays spent worrying about extremist attacks...

However, I would rather be in Paris, Brussels or Munich than in Syria or countries surrounding the war zone...


Oh and I forgot to comment on the above:
This comment of yours is very cynical and the only way to interpret it is: hell happens in those troubled countries, so why not bring it to yours!

loulou77: I don't think you have all the facts...and to be without compassion is not good...

Fear is not an emotion I wish to have...Trump is full of fear mongering tactics...Muslims are part of the fallout in order to win the Republican vote...

To fight back against terrorism is to not give in to the fear that some create for their own benefit...Bernie Sanders the Democratic candidate said just that...
Sanders is no different than Trump in that they both are trying to garner support . Sanders would leave no stone unturned to make Trump appear bad . And yet we see time and again the current President take advantage of violence to further Democratic Party gun control agenda . Sanders paddles that boat . Sanders is nothing more than two faced .

Sanders' socialist leanings will not go over in America. HE is currently struggling in his own ultra-liberal state of Vermont because their failed attempt at Universal Health Care was so expensive they eventually had to drop it. It's left a sobering opinion of policies like his. You can't govern like Robin Hood.

There is a difference between fear and resolve. Trump is not "fear-mongering." If anything, it is the left that over-dramatized his comments and perpetuated the "fear." Just look at how they presented his comments on a TEMPORARY ban on Muslims coming into the country... The left immediately started screaming "TRUMP WANTS TO BAN ALL MUSLIMS!!!!!

That is fear-mongering. And there are many, MANY more examples of how the left has done this in the past.

More on Democrat fear tactics: Who hasn't heard that Republicans want to cut Social Security and throw Granny from the train? Or that they want to kick old people out of their homes. Or that they want dirty drinking water? Or that if they win African Americans will be lynched. They have claimed Republicans want to cut the school lunch program and want your kids to starve. The list goes on and on.

Republicans in Congress are trying to cut Social Security disability benefits. Retirement payments also could be in jeopardy, Sen. Bernie Sanders warned in a Senate floor speech today. “This is a very bad idea,” Sanders said. “Republicans are manufacturing a crisis where none exists.”

In the budget blueprint that President Barack Obama sent to Congress last month, the White House requested authority to shift funds from Social Security’s retirement account to the disability fund. Unless Congress goes along, the disabled and their children are in store for a 19 percent cut in benefits next year.

This year’s White House budget request sought the same non-controversial bookkeeping measure that has happened 11 times before. It happened under Presidents Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon; Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton. “In other words this is a totally noncontroversial act done time and time again under Democratic presidents and Republican presidents,” Sanders said.

This year, however, the House of Representatives, on the first day of the new session of Congress, adopted a rule that severely restricts such transfers. A hearing on the disability program has been scheduled for next Wednesday by the Senate Budget Committee, on which Sanders is the ranking member.

Sanders warned that some in Congress are trying to drive a wedge between seniors and the disabled by contending, wrongly, that reallocating money would hurt seniors. “This is absolutely untrue,” Sanders said. If the funds are rebalanced, there still would be enough in reserve to pay benefits for all retirees and every disabled American for the next 18 years. He also noted that virtually every organization of seniors supports the reallocation. He read letters from AARP and the Leadership Council of Aging Organizations, which includes the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare, the Alliance for Retired Americans, the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging and many other organizations.

About 18.5 percent of all Social Security beneficiaries are disabled workers and their dependents. Last year, nearly 11 million individuals received disability payments, including nearly 9 million workers and 1.8 million children of a disabled parent. The average benefit is around $1,150, or about $35 a day, barely above the poverty line. Disability Insurance keeps 4 million disabled workers out of poverty each year. It also is the main source of income for workers still living in poverty.

LoL......grin can you imagine what these political blogs are going to be like by November 2016?

The moderators will be deleting them before we post. This is one election that is going to get down and nasty.

Think about a Trump & Clinton debate serise for a time. By the time the final debate ends....the two of them will hurling chairs and podiums at each other. Bill C will be climbing the from the gallery to protect Hillary C from the Donald. Trumps ex wives and the present Mrs. Trump hanging on to Bill's pant legs trying to keep him from the stage.

And their political organizations? Oh my. We are going to see attack ads like have never been made in American political history. We are going to see more dirty laundry aired in the next year. Than all the Chinese laundries have ever washed since the 1880s.

Now neither Donald or the Clintons...have ever played fair and nice. Mind you. Now they are playing for all the chips so to speak. Both are going to make Richard Nixon look like a angel, I think. Raiding the DNC or RNC for some secret dirty stuff, is going to be the smallest of things done in this one.

But if placing a persona on will win you a Presidency. Hillary C has placed a persona on that has to have a inch of teflon coating to it.The Banghazi hearings...now her faithful entourage....was out within hour saying she had not been touched. But those poll on crediblity and trust worthiness fell like a stone during the hearing.

Those hearing are not over with. Just today more emails were release....all heavily redacted from the secrets that were in them.
So Hillary comment...."there were no secrets on the server"...is getting killed by the State Department that she headed. Figure that one right?

Well lunch time here. I will check back for the next installment of the CS gang ripping and ridding Hillary C and Donald T nominations soon.

Well...I don't recall you knowing me well enough to make that statement about you knowing more Muslims than I and if you fear they are growing in numbers...plenty of Muslims live in Canada and are law abiding...I do not know of any Muslims demanding Sharia law...

If you could view the clips I gave you...perhaps you would see where I am coming from...

As for Trump...calling Mexicans rapists, drug smugglers and addicts is not suitable for any candidate...or verbally abusing women for that matter...just because they ask a question he does not want to answer...the US needs a representative that has self control and acts accordingly regarding foreign affairs...

When I have a chance I will supply the link to the clips...enjoy your day...wine
