Toronto terror 'plot'... 6pak - comments?, Large terror cell recently busted Options

[Hellfighter]

Apparently a London terror style plot targeting various Toronto/Ontario objectives was foiled. No time to comment in depth on it myself.
Perhaps 6pak [with her regional/work experience] can add some of her thoughts on the topic?

[Oh You]

Hell, i know i am probably wrong, but seeing how we just did a 2 week "unit" on the topic of immigration in Canada in my Social Studies class, i'd thought i'd throw this out there. (Ok, the textbooks are 12 years old, so who knows )

Basically, we learned that there are 3 main ways to come to Canada as an immigrant. They are, 1, with a sponsor, which has to be a close relative, no further than grandfather/mother or aunt/uncle or something like that. 2, as an independant, which is most common when the potential immigrant has an education, or money to invest. The 3rd is as a Refugee, which is basically, if you fear returning to your country for any reason.

On the whole, uniforms and religous attire. I can see both points. It is a very strong part of many religions, and if a turban is demanded to be removed, so to should any crosses on chains, or such symbols. Because they are not standard issue either.

But on the other hand, if a policy on dress is in place, you should not expect to be allowed to change it because of your beliefs.

as for the adult they can defend themselve.

Can they, could you? Honestly, thinlk about it, could you fend for yourself in the conditions they must try to survive in? Can you even imagine what they would have to go through. Sure, we all want to save those poor little kids on the Christian Children's Fund commercials, but we can't just say, sorry anybody over 30, go fuck yourself, can we?

You all signed off on the discussion, but i still gotta get some input in this.

Great discussion, i really enjoy this kind of thing.

Hope to see you in my iron sights soon!
