All nations have the right to genocide civilians when someone else has attacked them???  Where does the right to genociding civilians come from???

First of all you need to understand the definition of genocide. Secondly, what do you call a civilian who is complicit in the Oct 7 attacks. A civilian???

Most of the people in that crowd cheering had probably lost children in their own families.

This will never end, the hatred will be passed on from generation to generation 

That hatred you mention is called antisemitism.

Correct, they can't be bothered to take time away from real tasks to issue a letter saying "this all may be fake."  You should be mad at the Thais for requiring an expensive letter that EVERYONE KNOWS IS WORTHLESS.

Were you a gov't worker by any chance? Our opinions obviously differ. Helping a Canadian citizen in a foreign country is a "real task". It's called doing their job!

That is unfair.  What is your solution? How do you expect the Canadian consulate to verify the income statement? It does not have access to annual CRA filings and it does not have access to the person's bank accounts. What's your methodology to allow the  consulate to issue an accurate declaration?

Since when has the Canadian consulate needed to verify the income statement?

Their income letter to the Thai immigration says: in paraphrase, that "according to the clients affidavit and supporting documents, he/she receives x amount per month for visa renewal. They also confirm the passport (that had to be notarized if not in attendance) is valid. They also state that: "the Gov't of Canada accepts no responsibility or liability for the above named individual!"

So show me where they have to prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that these papers from the client are accurate? If they are not accurate the letter has covered their liability. So like I said, they can't be bothered anymore and they think we are dumb enough to believe their excuse.

You can check out the announcements from various embassies that announced change in providing "income letter".

It was triggered by Thai authorities requesting verification.

The 3 countries mention in thread quickly stopped providing the letter.

Eventually Thai backed down but too late. 

Here is snippet from UK embassy...

 

"The British Embassy Bangkok is stopping the certification of income letters because it is unable to fulfil the Thai authorities’ requirements to verify the income of British Nationals" 

 

Another cut/paste re date of change.....

"With effect from 1 January 2019, the British Embassy Bangkok will no longer provide British Nationals" with letters confirming their income.

Ok Doc, I agree with you if Thai Immigration really asked British Embassy for verification. Or is it just talk to not do it anymore? I imagine the British Embassy was real busy doing it for their expats. It seems sort of like the money laundering excuse for all the roadblocks we come across these day.

Not the point. 

Embassy cannot verify the income. 

And for that reason UK, USA, AU have not been providing letters for some time. 

The Cad. embassy says they can't guarantee the income in the letter. The point is that the Thai immigration accepts the letters anyway. So we'll have to agree to disagree.

Until now Thai Immigration HAS accepted the letter from the Canadian Embassy as sufficient. A consular official told me that the Consulate needed to have your financial statement on file IN CASE Thai Immigration one day asked for such evidence. I have seen no evidence that Thai Immigration officials have been questioning the validity of the Canadian Embassy letter. 

Thank you. That's really the whole point. Thai immigration WOULD accept the income letter from Canadian embassy. Canadian embassy is making an excuse. They do not want to bother with old expats living here.

Like Canada's Trudeau: it's "Peoplekind"

Hopefully that imbecile will disappear soon.

Correct. It's an opening shot but unfortunately those with the "syndrome that cannot be named" have no idea about Trump's negotiation modus operandi. Only thought in the radical liberal left's head is TRUMP BAD.

Love it. The art of the deal. Setting the grass on fire so the rats appear and run.

Good riddance!

He's a progressive creep instilling his vile bias into young people. He should be in jail.

Another "Operation Northwoods!"

Common sense tells me it shouldn't be a difficult decision.

Perhaps you could ask at the post office. I didn't ask!

This campaign’s use of global advertising channels to brand a UN entity as a terror organization has raised serious concerns. Such accusations, presented through media typically reserved for commercial messaging, may qualify as hate speech.

Of course this is an UNRWA press release! I particularly like the above paragraph. Guess the typical media hasn't been discussing the true extent of UNWRA's corruption! I wonder why.

Oh she is employable. Many charities, social service organizations and  private businesses will welcome a person just like her.

Yes and the UN can use her at UNRWA.

DEI not working too well! Too bad, so sad.

This incident has raised concerns about the safety of transporting groups in rural areas on open pickups, particularly on challenging roads like Muang Mai Curve.

Hmm. You mean it's legal! Of course the roads here have a mind of their own and they challenge the drivers all the time. Those nasty roads should know better.
