It's a broad brush because Islam is one of the few remaining ideologies in the world where it's okay to murder civilians in other nation states to obtain "political" goals. I use the word political goals loosely because it's mostly just about establishing Islamic caliphates, and has less to do...

How nice it is to hand wave ideological realities away with "they're just victims of colonization". There is a whole slew of countries in the world that were victims of colonization yet somehow managed to move on and make themselves stable productive nations without exporting hate and terror...

:LOL: Aside from sectarian differences, most Arab nations don't want any Palestinian refugees because wherever they go, terrorism of all varieties follows. See: Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanese refugee camps housing Al Qaeda and a variety of other groups. Hamas was created by the Muslim Brotherhood...

Fingers crossed. I heard they have serious water table problems at Yonge/Eglinton station which if true does not bode well at all.

Amen. The city should be spending every spare cent in the transportation budget on the TTC, which was in awful shape pre-COVID and is now a total disaster. Instead they choose to force niche seasonal transportation modes on people while creating artificial gridlock, all while the key to moving...

Yeah I goofed. Singh isn't opposition he's the kingqueen maker at the moment.

Sorry you're right he's not the opposition leader I got that totally wrong.

Background: In India there is a group of people that violently want to separate from the Indian state and form their own country. They have some legitimate grievances but have become, by most lenient and even Canadian standards, terrorists. In 1985 they blew up a plane that left YYZ and killed...

This country's current leader of the opposition had to be dragged kicking and screaming through the media before he accepted the Air India bombing inquiry's results. The genie has been out of the bottle for a long time, unfortunately.

I saw someone drop off a bike at the mechanic in the back of Kei van, very cool.

If you don't need the towing capacity or routinely haul largo cargo, then why not? Minivans get a bad rap, they are extremely practical

I agree the US flag fetishism is too much. Burning the national flag in solidarity with a terrorist group on the anniversary of a terrorist attack is also too much. Ideally we find ourselves somewhere in the middle.

There are certain industries that are obligated to report suspicious transactions (read: over $10,000 or more in cash) to FINTRAC for anti-money laundering. If you ask me the list is far too short, car dealers and a whole other slew of industries should be on there. As a side note: the fact that...

You're 100% right, thanks for pointing that out

My original post on this topic has 4 instances of Islamic violence perpetrated/planned by Canadian citizens this year alone. Can you provide links that demonstrate radical Christian violence in Canada to the same degree? Given they are 63% of the Canadian population, we should be hearing about...

Just a couple bad apples who make up ~4% of the population yet seem to cause a lot of trouble. For a country that's 63% Christian you'd think we'd be seeing a lot more cross burning...

For the record I'm an atheist and I think religion as a concept is mostly bunk. But I'm also not in the business of pretending that certain religions aren't more problematic than others. Yes, the US has issues with small groups of Christian fundamentalists. But they aren't immigrating to...

You're right, but this thread is about cultural challenges Canada is facing today
