    They should also be sympathetic to the indigenous people who rely on the churches that "do-gooders" have been burning down. We'd be a bunch better off, as a society, if fewer people were offended on behalf of other people, whom they neither know nor know much about, who are not themselves offended.

    A week old, but I did not see them posted as I caught up in this thread: https://nationalpost.com/opinion/rex-murphy-whats-not-to-understand-and-abhor-about-burn-it-all-down https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/while-some-cheer-on-the-destruction-of-churches-first-nations-pick-up-the-pieces...

    Better roles for the CH-149

    I'm not sure what "risk abatement" has to do with wasting $1.3B just to gain more votes. I note that the forced-confiscation-of-private-property-with-partial-financial-"compensation", or what this current corrupt and power-seeking-at-all-cost (to us, not them) Liberal government euphemistically...

    Better roles for the CH-149

    Thank F that that name was not adopted. Plus the always-forgotten $800M that had already been spent on the programme. And the 2000 (if memory serves me correctly) jobs that were instantaneously lost, and many more that never started, because of petty politics by somebody who campaigned on...

    So what? He's politically active. That is generally considered to be a good thing. "Unprecedented" is bad? Innovation and thinking outside of the box are generally considered to be good things as well.

    You made the initial claim. Just because one is rich does not mean that one cannot act altruistically.

    It appears to me to be quite effective.

    Is funding a National Guard deployment with private donations legal?

    Yes. Controlled. But what is happening today is the equivalent of ships filled with immigrants landing on beaches along the entire coastline of the US and disgorging their passengers to fend for themselves. Overpayment of "pandemic support" by the current administration is a major factor. Why...

    Liberal Minority Government 2019 - ????

    Let's put it this way . . . It's not "female politicians". It's incompetent/arrogant politicians, regardless of sex. Women are not a monolithic block who all think and vote the same way and for the same reasons. But notice how few seem to mind when a self-proclaimed feminist tosses or...

    Is funding a National Guard deployment with private donations legal?

    Neither I nor anybody in the article that kicked this off is talking about "the Army". Or a "standing police force". Under discussion is the National Guard, which are state entities that can be employed in what we call Aid of the Civil Power operations, whereas the US Army cannot. By all...

    Is funding a National Guard deployment with private donations legal?

    Yes, there is. And criminal gangs and cartels are exploiting it. Please show me who has advocated "minefields and machine gun towers"? Name him. Who is advocating "shoot(ing) folks down"? Name him. The US-Mexico border is 3,145 kilometres long. That, by your numbers, is 5.4 Border Patrol...

    Is funding a National Guard deployment with private donations legal?

    Yes. There is a lengthy history of that. British armies were historically raised by wealthy landowners in times of need, which is why, today, it is the "British Army" and not the "Royal Army".

    Is funding a National Guard deployment with private donations legal?

    Private citizens funded and built a small section of wall in one high-traffic area a year or two ago, although there is some controversy about the quality of the foundation. Regardless, states have jurisdiction within their borders and most certainly get a vote in that, especially when the...

    Is funding a National Guard deployment with private donations legal?

    The states own their National Guard components. They can enter into agreements with other states. When was the last time that a government turned down offers of financial assistance from private citizens? Nobody seems to have found any illegality with this offer. I see no "politicization", as...
