I don't have a wife, but I'll take your response as another feeble attempt at deflection.

lol, every post you make is deflection, obfuscation, non requiters or straw men, and that's exactly what I was replying to with that comment,  your shtick never changes OGFT, it's painfully predictable.

And of course Jagmeet Singh had the encounter with the crazy-lady at his townhall who went on a rant about Sharia and the Muslim Brotherhood. He handled that situation very effectively.

I've heard rumors that the incident was staged.  She was a plant.

Yeah - makes no sense.  The NDP gains nothing from having a stance on conspiracy theories.  It's really a thing that can hurt/help conservatives.  The far-right nutbars are just ACHING for Scheer to condemn the Globalists. 

I've yet to hear a single reasonable criticism of our immigration policy, outside of "it takes too long to process claims." There is literally no substantiated claims about over immigration. Not a single shred of evidence for it whatsoever.

Of course this is nonsense, but you're entitled to your opinion.

The question was, is questioning our immigration policies necessarily taking a cue from the "Trump playbook"?  Can you question our immigration policies without being seen as a racist xenophobe etc?

You're creating a strawman: nobody claims that any and all questioning of immigration is a cue from the Trump playbook. That's an extreme position that you've created to imply that any and all questioning of immigration is valid.

Immigration should be questioned in a rational and intelligent way, based on observable facts and data. Hysteria over Islamofascists flooding our gates is bullshit, especially when a large proportion of the Muslims we admit are fleeing the secular and political violence they face in their homelands. Hell,  you can't even look at a public discussion about immigration online without people conflating immigrants and refugees. The vast majority of commenters are completely unfamiliar with our immigration system and the laws that direct it.

So do you want me to admit that questioning the immigration system is NOT out of the Trump playbook? Sometimes it is. Sometimes it's not. The context and content of the arguments matters. There is no one black and white statement to be made about these kinds of complex issues.

You're creating the strawman, and I never implied all questioning of immigration is valid.

You responded to my response to omni.  He said Scheer is taking a cue from the Trump playbook.  I was asking if that was because he was questioning our immigration policy. His answer to that question was if i support Faith Goldy and United We Roll, because apparently Scheer is associated with them.

This thread is about Scheer and not our immigration policy, because that will cause a bomb of thread drift that we can talk about in one of the immigration threads here.  If you're happy with our immigration policies, and have never seen a reasonable argument that parts of it may be flawed, vote Liberal this fall.
