Where do the trans-tards go?

Stuff and nonsense on the British Brainwashing Corporation
I am joining my colleague Tarek Fatah in appealing to Ontario premier-elect Doug Ford to ban the burka, the oppressive face covering. In fact, I would like to extend this suggestion to premiers of other provinces.
Fundamentalist insistence on the veil is more political than religious. There is nothing in the Qur’an that expressly prescribes wearing even the hijab, let alone the niqab or other forms of face veiling.
Of course, Fatah is citing the burka as a security threat. This alone is compelling enough reason to ban it. There is no denying that the garment has been used to commit heinous crimes, not only in Canada but also overseas.
Lead question much?
Because someone in living in a rural area is going to wait hours for the police to show up… Shur. Remember when Steven Harper was viciously attacked for saying that people living in rural areas have a right to defend their property.
While the outcome of the case will be viewed as a victory for locals and those worried about rural crime, Crown prosecutor James Sawa said firearms charges are a serious matter and warned against firing a weapon in close proximity to other people.
RCMP Supt. Gordon Sage warned against people “taking things into their own hands.”
“I really want to stress the importance of public safety,” Sage said. “That’s what our job is — we’re trained to be able to deal with those situations.”
You're hilarious. Is the word hypocrisy even in your vocabulary? Never mind. Can't argue with an ideologue. See Sock Boy had to pay another fine for yet another ethics violation. Keep up the good work. 2019 can't come soon enough.

Seems to be peculiar to Liberals generally, and Sock Boy specifically. Don’t see this in the MSM.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been fined $100 for another breach of Parliament’s ethics code, this time involving a gift from the Premier of Prince Edward Island. Neither the breach nor fine were disclosed until Parliament prepared to adjourn for summer recess.
Equalization is simply yet another sop to Quebec. Like millennials in their parents’ basement, it’s time they either started paying their own way or moved out.
Fed Liberals just announced 5 more years of the same flawed Equalization formula.
5 years of zeroes for Saskatchewan, Alberta, Newfoundland, while Quebec keeps receiving $50-$60 BILLION.
Exactly why I raised this yesterday and I will keep pushing for changes. #FixEqualization

Since the Cold War ended with the collapse of the Soviet Union, it has grown apparent that the existential threat to the West comes not from Czar Vladimir’s Russian divisions returning to the Elbe.
The existential threat came from the south.
Half a century ago, Houari Boumedienne, the leader of a poor but militant Algeria, allegedly proclaimed at the United Nations:
“One day, millions of men will leave the Southern Hemisphere to go to the Northern Hemisphere. And they will not go there as friends. Because they will go there to conquer it. And they will conquer it with their sons. The wombs of our women will give us victory.”
This is the existential crisis of the West.
Thus, Trump seeks to build a wall, turn back the intruders and bring Vladimir Putin back into the Western camp, where Russia belongs. Thus the new populist regime in Rome blocks boats of refugees from landing in Italy. Thus Angela Merkel looks like yesterday, and Viktor Orban like tomorrow.
Muslims, in effect, are trapped in a state of bewilderment over how to repair their broken cultures, or how to build them anew — when they are full of doubts about what is new, what is modern and what has been built by others belonging to a different faith and culture.
Muslims in general are a “third world” people whose understanding and practice of Islam remain fixed in their pre-modern cultures. To many Muslims, due to their pre-modern worldview, this paradox is mostly incomprehensible. It is also hugely obstructive in easing their transition to modernity.
The fury of the internal upheaval inside the Muslim world will eventually exhaust itself when a sufficiently large segment of the Muslim population reconciles reason and revelation to discover that God never meant any religion, including Islam, to be a burden preventing man from threading a relationship with Him in harmony with human nature. Embracing modernity does not mean abandoning God.
It was nearly the longest day of the year, June 20th, when the menfolk of the English fishing settlement of Baltimore in south-west Ireland, set off for a full day out at sea. The year was 1631, the weather good.
When the men returned they were faced with a hideous and life-changing shock. The village was empty: wives and families gone. While they had been out fishing a marauding force of armed muslim Ottoman slavers from the Barbary coast of North Africa had landed, taken everyone as slaves, and sailed away. Some 108 English settlers, who worked a pilchard industry in the village, and many local Irish were taken.
Doug Ford isn’t even Ontario’s premier yet and already Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s courtiers are slagging him about climate change.
Leading the charge has been Trudeau’s principal secretary, Gerald Butts, and Environment and Climate Change Minister Catherine McKenna.
Both have been tweeting their outrage over the incoming Progressive Conservative Ontario premier promising to do post-election what he said he would do during the election.
Are you smoking that stuff already? It's not even legal yet.

The only good part of Easy Rider was the ending.
Actor Peter Fonda posted a tweet — since deleted — that encouraged opponents of the president’s policy on separating illegal alien children from their parents at the border to kidnap the son of Donald Trump.
The first lady promptly called the Secret Service to report the threat.
Somebody should try to get this through Sock Boy’s thick skull. Diversity is our strength, indeed.
Exactly how beneficial to a society is multiculturalism, this word that is so celebrated in the West?
First one must first define the word: It is “the view that cultures, races, and ethnicities, particularly those of minority groups, deserve special acknowledgement of their differences within a dominant political culture.”
Note the immediate inaccuracies within this standard definition. “Races,” which indicate a people’s innate physical makeup, are conflated with “cultures” — which are neither innate nor physical, but learned and metaphysical.
This mix-up explains why for many in the West, the word “culture” often conjures at most physical, surface differences — “exotic” food or dress. In reality, cultures are nothing less than entire and distinct worldviews with their own unique sets of right and wrongs, often rooted in a religion or philosophy. Cultures bring much more than, say, the convenience of having Indian cuisine down the street.
