Liberals back Keystone XL pipeline, Stephane Dion says

Canada’s new Liberal government backs TransCanada Corp’s Keystone XL pipeline, but does not want the project opposed by environmentalists to spoil relations with the United States, Foreign Minister Stephane Dion said on Thursday.

Washington has spent more than seven years deciding whether to approve the northern leg of the $8 billion pipeline, which would take oil from Alberta’s crude-rich tar sands to U.S. refineries.

U.S. President Barack Obama, under pressure from environmentalists, is widely expected to veto the proposed pipeline before he leaves office in early 2017.

The United States formally denied a request on Wednesday to pause the review of the proposed Keystone XL oil pipeline, seen by many as an attempt to postpone the decision until after the presidential election in November 2016.

Where is your Canadian Jesus now, Liberals?

Learning languages for White people isn't to directly help Aboriginal people (stop saying Native, you sound like an old racist grandpa), its to integrate them into our predominantly white society and to teach non-aboriginals about aboriginal culture so that in the future idiots who don't "get" why we need to give a gently caress about writing wrongs won't be so easily swayed into their echo chamber.

Look at New Zealand where Maori is an official language and where traditional aboriginal practices are integrated into the identity of what being a New Zealander is. Thats why you see New Zealand Army members doing Hakas at funerals, but you don't see Canadian Forces members doing the Sundance.

Now I'm aware NZ had an easier time because their version of colonialism was "back the strongest warrior tribe and ally with them to ethnically subjugate the others inline", but nevertheless their method of integration is much more appropriate.

And it might give Canadians a sense of cultural pride and identity that isn't rooted in being less lovely than America in certain specific ways.

Yesterday the biggest protest for women's rights happened in 700 cities all over the world. The turnout was the largest for a protest in US history.

In the US, there were no arrests. NONE. It was exactly the peaceful mass demonstration you loving liberals want.

Today the US Congress put forth a bill To provide that human life shall be deemed to begin with fertilization. Basically a rework of a failed bill that would give full personhood to embryos. That means it overturns Americans' right to safe and legal abortions. Back into back alleys. Back to coat hangers and sepsis. Back to teenagers being forced to carry babies they don't want to term to live lives they would never have chosen given the loving choice. Women and children will see their quality of life severely lowered if they don't literally die if this bill passes.

Less than 24 hours after this colossal, entirely peaceful demonstration.

So, actually :fuckoff: if you think that being peaceful is all it's going to take to maintain rights in this new age. Sometimes you have to fight and to fight you need more than words.

Well...

With the multitude of protesters every day I think the people just need a spark to really rise up and stomp this poo poo out.

Haha, don't underestimate the number of people who support what Trump does. At least part of the reason the GOP isn't resisting Trump much beyond making statements but then bending the knee anyway is because their constituents love the poo poo Trump is doing.

Also, don't underestimate the number of those people who got into law enforcement for an opportunity to beat the poo poo out of people.

Yeah, the protestors have people on the streets holding signs, but the trumpeteers have people on the street holding riot shields.

Remember when people protested bush at his inagguration, and then he didn't do anything bad and then was voted out after 4 years? https://www.salon.com/2001/01/21/protests_8/

The protests are uplifting to see but the election just happened and that was the last chance for Americans to do something for another two years. The GOP may be nervous about what Trump is doing but as long as their voters love it, they won't dare kill the goose that lays golden eggs.

Same but according to the last fucknut I talked to apparently our refusal to have an "honest conversation about Islam" is why we get attacks so we should be nicer to them and hear them out as they make the exact same argument people made against Jewish refugees in the 1930s and 40s

Wait, what?

So our refusal to talk about bullshit beliefs about Islam is why we get attacked by Islamic extremists? How the gently caress does that logic work.
