Is it a civil right for criminals to be allowed into Canada?I make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara
For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator RubioComment

Not allowing those convicted of criminal offences into the country is a long standing and good rule.
Just b/c some NDP nutters think otherwise doesn't make it so.

So if a repressive regime were to classify someone as a criminal for being a dissident, we shouldn't let them in?Not allowing those convicted of criminal offences into the country is a long standing and good rule.

No. Our admission requirements can take into account repressive regimes. Unfortunately for your position, our courts don't consider the US to be one of these regimes. The rule of law still prevails (although I will concede it is being sorely tested).Originally posted by Victor Galis

Similar issue with the US soldiers that have fled up here looking for sanctuary. They are losing their immigration hearings."I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure." - Clarence Darrow

Hopefully, post-2008 election in the US things will improve, and changes won't be necessary. You know, if the US had a parliamentary system the Bush govt. would have fallen long ago and we'd not have these issues."The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists."

I'll bet it's much more dangerous to make such in the US - there the nutcase just have to go to his local gunshop to get a weapon; that is if he doesn't already have a collection af assault rifles
With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

No actually it's not. Making a cartoon mocking the Christian right or any other movement would only get you angry letters at best and not half the world up in arms and rioting.Comment

Ehrm, what are you talking about ???? Noone would notice it here neither if it was christian mocking - that we did back in the 70'ies - even a film where jesus had lot of fun with women etc.With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
