That's a pretty good reason for me never to return to my homeland.  It's also a good reason for America to invade Canada (successfully this time, not like 1812).

Justin's father Pierre Elliott Trudeau should be turning over in his grave by now.

Where is Steven Harper when we really need him?

I don’t recommend we invade it. Then we would be stuck with all those socialists that love high taxes and government cheese unless we slaughter them all. They are digging their own graves not our problem. 

But think of the natural resources you'd get - the fresh water,  the oil, the timber...and if you slaughter everyone, who's going to do the hard work necessary to provide those natural resources to you?  Look, Dean, do what you want, but please just provide amnesty for my daughter, okay?

Sure we welcome your daughter. We can buy the natural resources from the Muslims after they take over just like we do with oil. 

Prime Minister Trudeau's earlier comments on politicians needing a position of "responsible neutrality" on the issues of wife beating and female genital mutilation render his current positions on Islamist groups such as ISIS even more troublesome. Perhaps most disturbing were Trudeau's comments to a gathering of Islamist front groups: he told them that he shared their beliefs, their set of values and their shared vision.

That Trudeau condones wife beating and FGM should scare the crap out of every Canadian. 

Great article, Buzz. Thank you.

The propagation and disciminaton of endless masses of mostly Russian sourced right wing propaganda onto the world wide internet which is plainly and only intended to inflame men's worst impulses of tribalism and to divide the peoples of all democratic nations is not merely an American problem as is demonstrated. Propagandist and the creators of false news and misleading far right wing bullshit such as this are equal opportunity chronic offenders. Canada is doing just fine and Trudeau remains popular. Much more popular than Trump and the American far right wing that laps this kind of shit up. Why demonize our friends and neighbors? Who will be our friends among the nations of men if Canada and Mexico desert us? The USA under Trump and the damn gop has become a pariah and an outliner among civilized nations and it is no wonder considering the amount of divisive inflamatory misleading propaganda being fed to folks on social media. I have said it before tand will say it again, "Those social media platorms whiclh willl not control their content to exclude hostile foreign propaganda should have moderation imposed upon them under penalty of the law"...

Keep living in total denial of reality. Canada will find out what Europe already knows.

Europe and the USA were in the land of left-wing Islamist terrorism denial for quite a while because being PC was more important. Unfortunately, many people died and were injured due to PC.

The Gatestone Institure is plainly a anti-Muslim far right wing propagand outfit. This is public knowledgs.

en.wikipedia

The Gatestone Institute (formerly Stonegate Institute and Hudson New York ) is a right-wing ^{[2] [3] [4]} think tank that publishes articles, particularly pertaining to Islam and the Middle East. The organization has attracted attention for publishing false articles

The organization describes itself as a "non-partisan, not-for-profit international policy council and think tank is dedicated to educating the public about what the mainstream media fails to report." ^{[13] [14]} The organization believes that traditional news outlets conduct insufficient and, as a result, misleading reporting on critical issues, and thus it distributes its own information about events in the Middle East and Muslim populations in other parts of the world.

The institute was founded in 2008 under the name "Hudson Institute New York" (not to be confused with the Hudson Institute ) by Nina Rosenwald , who serves as its president, ^[8] In early 2012 it was briefly renamed Stonegate Institute, ^[11] before becoming Gatestone Institute in March 2012.

Gatestone has been criticized for affiliating itself with Geert Wilders , who says that he "hates Islam" ^[18] and has been described as "anti-Muslim". ^{[10] [19]} In 2012, Gatestone Institute hosted a talk by Wilders. ^[10] In 2016, Gatestone paid for Wilders’s flights and hotels on trips to the United States. ^{[19] [20]} The Guardian noted that Gatestone publishes the writings of Geert Wilders. ^[18]

Policy analyst J. Dana Stuster of the National Security Network , writing in The Hill , criticized Gatestone as "paranoid" for claiming that immigration to Europe was “civilization jihad” and a “Muslim invasion”. ^[21]

Gatestone's founder, Nina Rosenwald, has been accused of anti-Muslim bias by the Council on American-Islamic Relations . Muslim writers for the Gatestone Institute have defended the organization and Rosenwald against the claims by CAIR. ^[22] Zuhdi Jasser , founder and president of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy , said, "It goes without saying, but to those who may not know Nina, and having known her now for many years, it is clear to me that she has the highest respect for Muslims who love their faith, love God, and take seriously our Islamic responsibility to defeat the global jihad and its Islamist inspiration." ^[22]

Inaccurate reporting 

In 2011 ^[23] and 2012, ^[6] Gatestone published articles claiming that Europe had Muslim " no-go zones ", describing them variously as "off-limits to non-Muslims" ^[6] and "microstates governed by Islamic Sharia law". ^{[23] [24]} The claim that there are areas in European cities governed by Sharia is false, ^{[6] [23]} although many of the areas deemed as "no-go zones" have high levels of unemployment and crime. ^[24] Gatestone's claims were picked up by many outlets, including FrontPageMag , ^[23] and Washington Times . ^[24] The idea of no-go zones originated from Daniel Pipes , ^[23] who later retracted his claims. ^[6]

On November 18, 2016, Gatestone published an article that said the British Press had been ordered to avoid reporting the Muslim identity of terrorists by the European Union . Snopes rated the claim "false". Snopes pointed out that the report only made a recommendation and it was issued by the Council of Europe , not the European Union . ^[7] Gatestone subsequently corrected the article and apologized for the error, ^[25] before removing it entirely from its website.

The Gatestone Institute published false articles during the German federal election of 2017 . ^[26] A Gatestone article, shared thousands of times on social media, including by senior German far-right politicians, claimed that vacant homes were being seized in Germany to provide housing solutions for "hundreds of thousands of migrants from Africa, Asia, and the Middle East." ^[5] The German fact-checker Correctiv.org found that this was false; a single house was placed in temporary trusteeship, and had nothing to do with refugees whatsoever. ^[5] Gatestone also cross-posted a Daily Mail article, which "grossly mischaracterized crime data" concerning crime by refugees in Germany. ^[27

The Gatestone Institure is plainly a anti-Muslim far right wing propagand outfit. This is public knowledgs.

You seriously used Wikipedia as a factual source? Even grammar school teachers don't allow their students to use Wikipedia, because the info can be altered. 

Take some time to read the links I gave you about the author . His CV is far more accurate than Wikipedia could ever hope to be. 

Wikipedia is not a bad source to start with, JBB. It at least gives one an understanding of what one should be looking for.

And it also shows that just because someone has a bunch of experience with lots of stuff it doesn't mean that that person can't be crazy or just a plain hater and make shit up. Afterall, this whole seed is simply based on a book that someone managed to get published

skirting the CoC [ph]

It's not likely that the mainly left-wing PC-bound media would publish an article written by an accredited expert on terrorism unless it was to accuse Israel of terrorism, but NEVER the Islamists.  Although the blind will deny the facts, they make complete fools of themselves when they deny the actual quotations and actions of Trudeau and his Liberal party.

 The  Gatestone Institute , a New York-based think tank, has become one of the most important hubs in America’s Islamophobia industry, pumping out reams of dangerous anti-Muslim propaganda of the kind lapped up by far-right mass murderer Anders Breivik. The transatlantic dimensions of Gatestone’s influence have so far gone largely unnoticed, but its close links to several British groups, including the Quilliam Foundation, Stand for Peace and the Henry Jackson Society deserve close scrutiny.

Election-watchers expected a flood of fake news and inflammatory social media aiding Alternative for Germany, known by its German initials, AfD, to come from Russia. But one of the major publishers of online content friendly to the far-right party is an American website financed in large part and lead by Jewish philanthropist Nina Rosenwald.

Rosenwald’s site, the Gatestone Institute, publishes a steady flow of inflammatory content about the German election, focused on stoking fears about immigrants and Muslims. In one of the most recent posts, the website warns of the construction of mosques in Germany and claims that Christianity is becoming “ extinct .”

The Gatestone Institute is a New York-based advocacy organization that is tied to neoconservative and other right-wing networks in the United States and Europe. [1]  Chaired by John Bolton , a former Bush administration diplomat and a conservative foreign policy hardliner, Gatestone is a clearinghouse for right-wing commentaries on national security, the Middle East, and Islam, as well as a convener of high-dollar events on security and energy issues. It is an offshoot of the neoconservative Hudson Institute .

And as for the author

His CV is far more accurate than Wikipedia could ever hope to be. 

And?! But yet someone of that background to be associated with a group like this only tells me that either he is a huge Islamaphobe or they found his price!

Dude, I focused only on the author's CV and provided two reliable sources about it.  Your reply ...

And?! But yet someone of that background to be associated with a group like this only tells me that either he is a huge Islamaphobe or they found his price!

In other words, you don't have a counter argument. 

Bye.

Dude my entire argument is because you decided to discredit the source given regarding Gatestone Institute....(I think the first clue was your piece of comment that I quoted to start my comment off with!) As for the author, once again my opinion is something has to be said regarding the author's motives if a man of such background to be affiliated with a group such as this!

In other words, you don't have a counter argument. 

No, I think my argument came across loud and clear, seeing as though you have yet to dispute the organization he is affiliated with!

and willie used as rebuttal sources sites that would make Mao Zedung look like a radical right winger.

Soo.....cant rebut the information given so you attack the source......but that's that XDCapgun for you!

No, I think my argument came across loud and clear, seeing as though you have yet to dispute the organization he is affiliated with!

Really? I already posted that the following are the organizations with which he's affiliated:

Stop digging, willjay.

I think the same thing could be said about those who disparage a site that the mainstream media ONLY FOR REASONS OF PC refuse to publish what is actually happening in the world.

It's okay, lefties, denial is quite acceptable these days.

When you cannot find fault with the credentials and credibility of the author, attack the medium instead. What a fucking joke.

The propagation and disciminaton of endless masses of mostly Russian sourced right wing propaganda onto the world wide internet which is plainly and only intended to inflame men's worst impulses of tribalism and to divide the peoples of all democratic nations is not merely an American problem as is demonstrated. Propagandist and the creators of false news and misleading far right wing bullshit such as this are equal opportunity chronic offenders.

So, all those attacks against civilians all over the world are a Russian/right wing conspiracy? Did they not really happen?

The USA under Trump and the damn gop has become a pariah and an outliner among civilized nations and it is no wonder considering the amount of divisive inflamatory misleading propaganda being fed to folks on social media.

Perhaps you are partially correct. Perhaps there are a number of nations that are frustrated with their inability to pull any of the puppet strings on the US leadership that they used to do with such ease. Perhaps they are upset that they will no longer received billions of American dollars in "aid" that invariably goes to the dictatorship governments that we pass this money to. "KEEP THE MONEY AT HOME" is not just for Israel anymore, is it now?

It's true that not all Muslims are bad. It is true that EVERY LEADER of EVERY MUSLIM MAJORITY NATION is bad. And corrupt. More corrupt than Russia. More corrupt that our President.
