Well, so far....people are happy with the low cost of gas here. he delivered that, pronto.
Where in Ontario are you? I'm in the east end, in the Belleville / Trenton area. Gas prices have not noticeably decreased since he got in. Family in the Guelph area, the Wiarton area, the Hamilton area, and the Muskoka area agree.
Anyway...who's talking about gas...why you trying to deflect, Tos? :lol:
When you start bringing up so-called Ford's "track records," along with rallies by supremacists, in response to the question: why is Al Quds hate-rally allowed to go on for years.......yep, you're deflecting.
Lady, you're the one who brought him up!!! Go on, read through again, I'll wait...
I'm not deflecting, you made the assertion he'd stop things, and I'm saying he won't, based on his track record of not even being able to stop his brother. Care to move on? I think we've mediocre-ed up the thread enough in that direction. haha
You may have read it, friend.....but did you understand it? I gotta ask, because of the above.
Yes, Tos, I understood it. :roll:
Indeed.
James Keegstra case.

So.....presecution depends upon the consent of the Attorney General!
2016. 2017. How come the Attorney General at the time, hadn't acted on the blatant display of hatred against Jews?
Huh. Interesting.
Who's the past Attorney General of Ontario - before Caroline Mulroney?
Yasir Naqvi.
He's a Muslim.

So...you're telling me that the parade is allowed to continue because the Attorney General is a Muslim, and there's a conspiracy against the Jews.
Nonsense, Tos...and please, if you want to chat, don't drag me down into the gutters Harper and The Rebel built for you. There is no way you could possibly back that allegation up with fact. Let's not waste any more time on silliness, if you have a case to make, make it with demonstrable facts, not the gossip and conspiracy theory and insinuation that has become Canadian conservative "dialogue", since Harper dropped the bar to the ground. We're supposed to be friends, Tos, don't treat me like an idiot, please?
The fact is, the group was investigated in 2017, nothing happened, because no laws were broken, according to those that understand and uphold the laws. This is consistent with the application of these laws, which are very rarely invoked. Hate speech laws aren't there to punish demographics you don't like, Tos. If it makes you feel better, the idiots protesting outside mosques with hate-filled signs and slogans weren't tossed in jail either.
The fact is, in order to be convicted under these laws, you have to take it to some extraordinary level. Which is a good thing, because there would be a lot of conservatives in jail due to the following:
Section 319(2) makes it an offence to wilfully promote hatred against any identifiable group, by making statements (other than in private conversation). The Crown prosecutor can proceed either by indictment or by summary process. The maximum penalty is imprisonment of not more than two years.[13]
Section 319(3) provides specific defences to the offence of promoting hatred. A person will not be convicted if:
- the person establishes that the statements communicated were true;
- in good faith, the person expressed or attempted to establish by an argument an opinion on a religious subject or an opinion based on a belief in a religious text;
- the statements were relevant to any subject of public interest, the discussion of which was for the public benefit, and if on reasonable grounds the person believed them to be true; or
- in good faith, the person intended to point out, for the purpose of removal, matters producing or tending to produce feelings of hatred toward an identifiable group in Canada.[13]
Good grief, what would Canadian conservatives have left to talk about?
