Alberta has passed new protection for people who have a different gender identity from what there actual gender is.
You can still discriminate based on gender but you can’t discriminate on gender identity. Sooooo if you’re a white male who thinks he’s a woman you can’t be discriminated against for that. You can however still be discriminated against because you’re a white male. If you’re a woman who thinks she’s a man you can’t be discriminated against for that. Of course now you can be discriminated against because you’re a white male.
You get the drift.
I would highly recommend that the three northern territories be first on list of destination places for the refugees. The north needs more people. Housing is federally subsidized anyway. And the Syrians could be enculturated to northern welfare.
Classic soviet governance , bless you with new meaningless rights, while stripping you of the real ones.
There are no white males anymore, we are all Metis now.
Self identify, especially for the long form census.
Back on topic, there is no shortage of willing homes for these bright young men of the Jihad.
39% of canadians worship the Hair Apparent, it is their leaders will that they personally take one of these “refugees” into their homes for Christmas.
What an opportunity for the progressive citizens to show us ignoramuses how compassion is done, think of the savings to the treasury .
Oh wait they will want paid for their compassion, these are liberal do-gooders, free with everybody else’s money, never their own.
Just as we canadians must accept floods of these dubious refugees, but the enlightened ones will not house one in their protected communities.
I thought Wall had said ”NO!” Don’t tell me he’s with Jihadi Justin on this?? I’ve always thought that he looked like a damned Liberal! As of this moment, my support goes to Rick Swenson and the real Conservative Party of Saskatchewan.
So, another who can’t read.
Calgary mayor Naheed Nenshi:
The mayor said Canada has a “tiny minority” of people who assume anyone who is a Muslim or an Arab “must be in cahoots with the terrorists that they are, in fact, actually fleeing from.”
“Tiny minority” — hey, that’s you guys!
He also questioned some of the terrorists-will-come logic being used in an attempt to thwart the Syrian refugee plan in this country. He said if he was organizing a plot to infiltrate Canada, he would consider the fact that terrorists were able to get people in France and Belgium to do horrible things inside their own countries. “If someone pulls out a French passport, they can be in Calgary in seven hours,” the mayor said, “without checks of any kind. So why would I want to embed bad guys, put them on leaky boats where they could die, have them sit in a refugee camp possibly for 18 months, in the hopes they might end up in a country where they might want to do bad stuff? It’s way easier to do bad stuff in other ways.”
The mayor reiterated time and again that he believes the vast majority of Canadians are open-minded, open-hearted souls who sympathize with the Muslim community at times like this. And he has no problems with those raising legitimate concerns about problems that could be created in the Liberal government’s rush to bring 25,000 Syrian refugees to Canada by the end of the year.
“As I go out and about, I’d say eight out of 10 comments I get about refugees is: How can I help?” Mr. Nenshi said. “And then there is 1.8 of the comments that are thoughtful, legitimate comments like the kind Premier [Brad] Wall raised: What about safety? What about housing? How we going to deal with all this? And the remaining 0.2 are really nasty racist things. So I try and ignore those and focus on making sure we answer those legitimate questions. To me, this is critical to who we are as a community. I think the way we manage ourselves over the next several months will really be defining for us as a nation.”
Is everyone here but me paying to read the Globe? I can’t read 9 out of 10 of the links posted here behind a paywall.
Oh, Plainzfyre can read, lance. He’s actually referring to this bit at the bottom of the G&M article you linked to:
Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall, who has publicly urged Ottawa to delay its timeline, said Thursday that his government will establish a “refugee settlement centre” to co-ordinate the arrival of Syrian refugees into that province.
Mr. Wall said he is still waiting to hear how many Syrians will be landing in his province, adding no one should doubt the province’s willingness to make the resettlement a success.
“We need to take our time and get this right. We need to get the safety and security outcomes right at the front of this process and get the resettlement outcomes right at the back end of this process. I’m not sure that’s possible by Dec. 31, but regardless of the timeline, we will make every effort to make it work,” Mr. Wall said in a statement.
See, Plainzfyre is against accepting any Syrian refugee, full stop. Receiving refugees, but in a more realistic timeframe that ensures that the right security screening takes place? Even that much compromise is a full betrayal.
Your problem, lance, is that you want SDA readers to be better than they are.
When I disallow cookies in my browser and clear my cache, I can read links to the G&M (like the one in lance’s post) but still can’t open individual articles at the G&M’s main page.
I suspect not. I stopped paying to take the Globe, even as fire starter, years ago; it went all spotty with low info reporting and the pretence of high-brow commentary – usually failed. Playing dance of the seven veils with the pay firewall is a charade. Trust me, when I do pick up the hard copy for giggles on the morning run, I am always disappointed. The NP has been waxing an waning too in the past year or so, but is still head and shoulders above the ghost of the Globe; the back page of the FP is worth the price of admission on its own. The Red Star does better basic reporting (at least you know from the get-go where they are coming from editorially, and can filter that accordingly), and you get tons more fire starter…
Thanks. Sounds like too much effort for sending the Globe extra traffic.
Cheers,
Warren
Yeah I can read, with my bi-foculs and good lighting. That should tell you that I’m old enough to recall similar gestures from the past, like Roy Romanow, who as an NDP premier opposed Trudeau the Elder in the media but melted in front of him in Ottawa. Have we forgotten the 70’s? Peter Loughheed told Trudeau where to go, as did René Levesque! The others followed him!
So why did Brad wall want a delay in the importation of Syrian refugees anyway? So the province of Saskatchewan could install new Gyproc in their facilities before they moved in? He’ll be in Trudeau’s back pocket before Christmas! And I am very fortunate to live in a Constituency that already has a PC candidate! The party I started with in the first place!
So it appears that the government is considering WINTERIZING housing on military bases (and elsewhere?) to provide WINTER housing for the refugees …who will have to be arriving at about the rate of 4,000 per week if Justy is going to meet his hard, unchangeable, carved in stone date of Dec 31. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/ottawa-scrambles-to-find-housing-for-influx-of-syrian-refugees/article27381463/
I would like to see one reporter ask him if clothing manufacturers are on call for providing all the winter clothing (in sets of 4,000 per week) beginning NOW. That’s if the required sizes are known.
I can foresee the odd (cough) problem that might develop with this whole scenario.
There will fodder for a book here….a good title would be the “Mother of All Cluster-Fudges.”
I know what you’re saying there Plainzfyre, but Brad Wall is currently the best premier in the country, hands down. Sure … sometimes he does things that don’t appeal to a true conservative but, as a rule, he governs down the middle and a little to the right. In today’s reality with a preponderance of liv that’s the best that we can hope for. We have to remember that Cam Broten and his gang of socialists are sitting just across the legislature salivating over the prospect of once again turning Saskatchewan into a wasteland run by public service unions and bureaucrats.
Premier Wall is the only provincial leader to throw cold water on Trudeau’s impulsive, reckless scheme and I firmly believe that, if the security checks are not done to his satisfaction, Wall will say “NO” and run the risk of being demonized as a racist by the media, those of Kt’s mindset and others of limited intelligence.
Nenshi. Disgusting Pro Islamic stooge. His non condemnation of the attack by Pro Hamas goons on a family in Calgary summer of ’14 shows just exactly where his loyalties lie. And thinking how Muslim Brotherhood has used social media over the past 10 years..he is likely in their back pocket. Maybe we’ll get lucky and a 7th Ave C-Train will come off its tracks right in front of the fat pig.
Sorry, strong words I know, but Like Obama, I despise him.
As for the refugees…this will come back to bite us in 20 years from now as they breed like rabbits and basically out gun us at the polls. Goodbye North America…its been a slice. One look to Europe, where I predict within 2-3 years you will see open warfare on the streets…the same will happen here in time.
And what really blows my mind, is the disgusting latching on by Academia, Main Stream Media and gullible Politicians to one of the most brilliant manipulative Propagando efforts since the late 30’s….the little boy on the beach.
Strange how in the summer of 2014, while ISIS was using Einsatz Gruppen tactics all over Iraq in the Genocide of Iraqi soldiers, Yazidi’s, Kurds and Christians…not a goddamned peep from freaking anyone. But one photo of a little dead kid on the beach…and the whole Western World has a shit fit….
Josef Goebells would have been proud…
The only sane voices I hear are from Pam Geller, Geert Wilders, Ayn Ali Hirshi, Robert Spencer, Medlaine La Pen, and even our own Brad Wall among others…but they are drowned out in a chorus of Disgusting Progressiveness fron the above axis of Evil.
Its not my self that I am worried about, but my young adult children and their children as we leave them with a HELL HOLE of Islamic insanity.
Where’s my AR-15..?
Well said. Better get your better half to practice putting on the black bag.
Nah…she’s Italian…by the time they hjit 65…its black all over.! LOL (glad she does not read SDA or it might be her buying the AR..!!
Brad Wall…what a disappointment. Ya think kicking up the dust of “privatization” will obscure our view?? Grow some would you.
Read the comments at CBC. Hilarious.
Just remember! The majority of Canadians do not support this, thus we can say that it will help lower Trudeau in the polls! Wait until the whole story unveils! You ain’t seen nothin yet!
Be amazing if people could read the Globe if the Globe paid them.
Rich, it’s more like 6000 per week, and I understand from the article, the military has been asked to accommodate half, or 12,500. Where to the rest go? Their airlift plan is fraught with risk, and they propose an airlift with what aircraft? The rumour is the military, with some augmentation. Make that lots of augmentation, the only suitable aircraft we have is the Polaris/A320,with five in the fleet. The Globemaster may seem tempting, but you can’t use it as a human cattle car, so its passenger capability is severely limited. Our Hercules would have to hop scotch across the globe and have very limited passenger airlift capability. It’s a gong show waiting to happen, with possibly tragic consequences. Our military will keep things as safe as possible with this serious double duty, but it’s not their style to stretch safety, despite the ridiculous deadline they’re been given. They simply won’t do it.
BTW, Christians, before the ISIS cleansing started, represented about 10% of the Syrian population.
What we are being told by our leaders, with the unlikely exception of Hollande, is we should accept that we are going to be attacked, that it will be low level and intensity, and not escalate to mass casualty attacks. This is completely contradicted by ISIS doctrine, which is to plan and execute mass casualty attacks throughout the work from their safe haven, no doubt pursuing WMDs, in order to induce an apocalyptic war.
Islamist terrorists have consistently probed for and detected soft spots for attacks, as security beefs up to meet their threat. Why would they not avail themselves of the opportunity to infiltrate lightly vetted refugees with their fighters and cells? It’s a no brainer. We are essentially handing them this soft spot.
Unless and until we go after ISIS and Islamist terrorism in general with the goal of eradicating them and preventing a resurgence, the refugee crisis will grow and grow because their homelands will never be suitable for human habitation. We, on the other hand, will be subjected to attack after attack, culminating in a mass casualty operation that puts the whole world at risk of war.
That’s why we can’t just take it. Nor should we. Hilary Clinton bloviated yesterday that we weren’t at war with Islam. What an insulting and cheap slogan. No kidding lady. Militant Islamism is at war with us and other Muslims.
Pretending that isn’t happening to fit some false narrative that all Muslims are clean as the driven snow and our culture is rife with racist rubes shows her, and other “elites'” blind spot – a mistrust of Joe & Mary Sixpack, even though they’re the ones living in the real world, and a belief that honest concern about security is bounded up in some racist undertone. Clinton should look in the mirror to see what intolerance really looks like.
