I think the most damning aspect of this event is that many have used the "it was 30 years ago" or "he was young and made a mistake" excuse to justify his nomination. This is a very very poor precedent, particularly when discussing a nomination for the supreme court. If the witnesses are deemed...

The date the offer becomes effective should be on your OT message. In the case of HRA to FSA, the dates could be moved up if you were in the old RMS trade and have the equivalencies to be employed as a FSA without more training required in Borden. You can also request to move your effective...

Trudeau's broken promises or abject failure aren't the subject of this particular thread. Trump's breaking of international treaties does however relate in a very real sense to international trade agreements. The gender equality and indigenous rights being built into NAFTA were clearly...

So, because they hold "the big stick" we should just be beholden to them? Moreover, why would Canada or any other nation want to deal with a US president who has shown that he is willing to just rip up any agreement? The damage that Trump does to the US is long term for a limited short term...

Better headline might have read, "poor loser takes ball and goes home".

So you'd prefer Canada cowtow Trump, who has proven that he doesn't feel agreements need to be adhered to?

But that's why you're wrong though and what the point of the statistics was. No one thought gun control woukd end crime, just limit gun crime. That gun crime rates are miniscule speaks for itself. That murder rates are far lower than the US and many western nations indicates that crime is hardly...

Any proof that's not Fox news?

But the meme didn't show any of that- it just used a small sample size to create a false equivalency. If they want to be honest about it, they would point out that the murder rate in the UK is around .92/100,000 while the US comes in at 4.88/100,000. Or 15,696 to 594. Or, for 2014, there were...

Who's making excuses? I don't know why saying that environmental conditions lead to behaviour that can mitigate or direct rehabilitation has to mean making excuses or not accepting responsibility. You can find someone guilty and understand specific circI'm stances.  In the veterans thread there...

That's the rub though- a trade war with China will not bring those manufacturing jobs back unless Trump implements heavy incentives/subsidies for company's to maintain low prices. So, barring socialism this is simply a strategy based on a weak understanding of international economics, populist...

I'll agree to disagree to a point. His grandparents being in a residential home clearly didn't impact him, but being sexually abused and being in a household with a violent alcoholic certainly would. You dont believe that those would have some impact on his actions? Mitigating factors dont...

No, which wasn't what I was saying. He clearly drank and drove and killed someone so deserved jail time. However, he had the following mitigating factors below: - His history includes grandparents placed in residential schools. - His biological father was a violent alcoholic. His stepfather...

Government's have always spoken to their internal audiences, particularly when you look at US elections held during the 1812-1945 period, so this is nothing new, nor is populism. A reduction in Chinese access to the US market will not stir manufacturing, only move it from China to somewhere else...

I disagree with the assertion that minorities should receive special consideration outside of any social factors which may have led directly to the crime that they are being convicted of. Context matters as it should in any case of common law. If race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, etc etc etc...

Also very valid points. The stability of China isn't as rock solid as we in the west might believe it is, so there's a strong possibility that the CCP isn't as willing to push itself to the brink. That said, they certainly have more flexibility than the US does.

There's consistency in that the LPC has said they don't agree with the weapons sales. They were pretty clear that they didn't agree with the LAV contract but would see it through basically doing the opposite of what Chretien did. The lack of balls is a different story. However, if there...

China today equals the USA from 1812 to 1945. During this period the US was a junior partner in the Pax Brittanica (the Monroe doctrine was originally a joint US-UK document) and used the Royal Navy to both have access to foreign markets and save on military spending while maintaining heavy...

Maybe. The only person who disagree's is Trump: "I will build a great wall -- and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me --and I'll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will make Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words." "In...
