I think you have gone off the deep end.
Nope, I simply do not have blind faith in this government, unlike you.  I require a lot more than a pretty smile and a good word from my politicians.

Quote
Can you give a more concise answer to the question of how it is the government can enforce a law that has been repealed?
The law forbids Canadian citizens to be tortured, here or abroad.  The law also forbids the RCMP or CSIS from using information obtained under torture.  Yet, it has happenned in the past.

And now, we have a liberal government revoking citizenship at an unprecendeted rate.  And we have to trust them on their word, that they follow strict procedures, and only the citizens accused of fraud are seeing their citizenship revoked.

Again, explain the anomaly: why so many more cases under this Liberal government than in the past?

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Famous people fly smaller private planes. when they die you remember. probably just a  bias towards that.

No, small aircraft are definitely a lot more dangerous than commercial airliners.

I would assume so, I just meant the lots of people die part. is it any more dangerous than cars, for example?

SOme quick googling... nothing definitive.  They may be somewhat more, or less, dangerous than a car.  But think about how many people lose their lives in car crashes.

The Canadian people are so happy with our new government that Trudeau no longer feels the desire for change from the Canadian population now that is in power.  The people are so happy under his benevolent rule that everything is perfect now :)

And people voted for this moron...

Mulcair wasn't as bad.  His party was full of idiots, but he wasn't so bad.
Harper was the best:
- strong economy
- respect for both official languages of the country
- respect for the provinces
- mostly respect for seperation of state&chruch, despite his strong religious convictions

On the downside, he was a monarchist and he was anti-science.  But so far, the Liberal government haven't done much on this field either.

And all I see is a trail of broken promises and stupid decision making.  Like having the female MPs cover their head to great a muslim dignitary.  We shouldn't have to be sorry to live in our country, the way we do.  Compare this to Michelle Obama who refused to wear the headscarf while on an official visit to Saudi Arabia...
