The matter being debated was the neutrality of the Palestinian-origin immigration officer who was espousing anti-US conspiracy theories. The majority of Palestinian-Canadians you're likely to run into will have anti-US sentiments and pan-Arab leanings. Even those born in Canada. Of course he was going to say that ISIS aren't locals and that they're a creation of the CIA, not surprising at all.

Good. We have a Prime Minister who's being smart about shipping folks over here from the most dangerous region on earth.

The average murder rate on reserves across this country is about the same as Somalia's. You think we could of done something by now to help resolve this obvious threat to our citizens on Canadian soil as opposed to fretting and wringing our hands over the imagined and theoretical danger posed to us by refugees fleeing death and destruction in their homelands.

I would only point out that our federal government spends roughly $8000 per capita on Canadians, and about $9000 per capita on First Nations. Perhaps the problem is not about throwing more money at First Nations but working together with them on improving the services that are providing and by all accounts have no excuse for not being adequately funded.

More evidence Trudeau is a tax & spend Liberal. What a train wreck of an interview.

Rebel Media? Why stop there? Why not a video by Bill O'Reilly, or Rush Limbaugh perhaps?

You're right. I'm glad Stephen Harper has really controlled soccer hooliganism in this country. It's strange why it isn't more of an election issue to be honest.

Fantastic swerve, can't admit the interview was a disaster hey. If you guys can use the left leaning CBC as a "source" then right leaning sources are also valid.

Yup, this is playing out similar to the 2011 election.

Now Trudeau is saying that he would topple a minority Conservative govt. Another election would really sit well with voters.

Evidence? He would need to be PM for a period to generate the data needed for evidence.

Yes a national broadcaster is definitely on par with a podcast on YouTube titled CTV Interview Proves Justin Trudeau's a Tax and Spend Liberal...

Edit: I seem to recall the CBC reporting just as steadfastly on the Liberal Sponsorship scandal, but clearly they're in bed with the Liberals.

When the national broadcaster is blatantly biased towards the left, then yes.

How is it blatantly biased towards the left? Give examples. By reporting on the Duffy scandal? By reporting on Election fraud from 2011? By reporting on Harper's endless stream of other scandals? I'm sorry MIGS but these inconvenient truths are news. Just because you can't handle any criticism at all of your precious leader doesn't mean it's not news. The CBC is just doing its' job like every other media outlet in this country.
