  1. Under Article 10 of the Human Rights Act 1998, “everyone has the right to freedom of expression” in the UK. The law goes on to say that this freedom “may be subject to formalities, conditions, restrictions or penalties as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society." These may be “in the interests of national security, territorial integrity or public safety, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, for the protection of the reputation or rights of others, for preventing the disclosure of information received in confidence, for maintaining the authority and impartiality of the judiciary.” There is now and never had been the right 'free speech in the UK, or anywhere for that matter. In the US, this is what the Constitution says: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.[6] Note the word 'Congress'.... But speech is shackled, even in the US. Hence why the President excluded AP reporters from a press conference. He didn't like the questions.
  2. This is a quote? From whom, to whom attributed? These are similar, so for your 1 quote, I offer 3. Thank you on behalf of all Canadians,” an X user said. “Thank you for referring to us as the ‘owners of Canada’ and thank you for standing up for our sovereignty,” a Bluesky user said. “As one of the owners of Canada I thank you, Prime Minister, for keeping your cool,” another user said.
  3. Good grief. A car showroom being equated to a place of worship now...? I notice that 'church' is not mentioned....
  4. Oh the irony. Most of them are political appointees or elected officials.
  5. What a fantastic response. Kudos to you, sir....
  6. Or reducing federal taxes. Time for the States to step up. Why should all be down to the federal government to fix everything? California now has the 4th biggest economy in the world.....
  7. What is the definition of 'woke' being used, then? If there was consensus on the definition, there would be a better discussion.
  8. Which is banned in most countries and would probably be confiscated were you to attempt to get it on to an aircraft under the current ruules. Once you're able to keep it in your carry on luggage, perhaps a different story.
  9. This is, of course, dependent upon women getting access to education in the first place to get them to a point where they can teach.
  10. It starts locally, then nationally and tomorrow, the world. It is the stated aim of Islam.
  11. I initiated a transfer earlyish Friday and the tracking into said it would be paid out 06:00 Monday.... Nothing to do but wait or cancel and try another provider who may do the same thing....
  12. Does anyone actually know what 'American' goods, services and products are nowadays? Is John Deere American? Stellantis...? Apple, Kraft Heinz?
  13. It seems that way. From how I read President Trump's comments. America will save at $200 billion a year and need not 'be kind' to Canada anymore. Save a load of money. Reduce costs, reduce inflation... A win for them.
  14. I am not she, she is not me. You put your own interpretation on my words and their intent.
  15. Also it appears that the United States subsidizes Canada to the tune of $200 billion a year, and doesn't need anything that Canada has to offer. The US is just being nice. If this is true, then perhaps Canada needs to stop all exports to the US and the US should stop subsidising Canada going forward. If Canada has nothing the US wants, making them the 51st State is pointless. This money can be used to reduce the national debt and reduce inflation. Job done...
