That you think that the refugee Syrian Muslim that beat the shit out of his wife for 30 minutes with a hockey stick "just didn't know any better" and "should have been better versed in Canada's laws"...
I am willing to bet that you believe he didn't know that what he was doing here was wrong, as he is simply not familiar with our laws?
I'll be honest though.... The use of a Hockey Stick did make me laugh! Evil!
No, I think that guy is a wife beating piece of shit like all the other wife beating pieces of shit out there. He should be charged with assault.
He IS charged with assault!
The Liberal Left are claiming that we didn't do our duty in explaining to him the laws of the new country, and perhaps he should be found not guilty!
Just like a Russian mail order bride that doesn't know about North American divorce laws before she even steps foot on that plane...

People make all sorts of excuses for shit. Ignorance of the law has never been a valid defense. But no harm in focusing on informing immigrants (and everyone else for that matter) about laws.
You don't think they already know the laws here?
Then again, stupid White people try from time to time also, to smuggle drugs into a not-so-forgiving country...
Again, they KNEW the risk... They KNOW the laws there. That's why I find it hard to feel sorry for them...
Yes, there ARE some countries that will sentence you to 30 years hard labour for smuggling drugs... Do NOT tell me that you weren't aware, when you were planning to smuggle drugs into said country...

When were we ever taught laws? I find it interesting that schools will teach us about Egypt and how to write a fucking haiku but we aren't taught basic rights and basic laws. Employment law, labour law, criminal law, tenancy law, human rights, consumer law, traffic law, etc should be taught in high school and mandatory.
That's it.

Those turd worlders have completely different ethics and morals to westerners, its no wonder that we aren't compatible with them.
Good luck trying to explain that to a wooly brained libtard though.....
Sad as it is with the Llbtard hug it out agenda ,there is a process before an immigrant can be landed they have to be sworn into that country proving they understand and acknowledge the laws charters and the history that defines the moral conduct of that countries society .. So unless he's an illegal (therefore gets deported) he needs to feel the wrath of the legal system.. FUCK their religion when it infringes on anothers quality of life or effects the countries moral fiber..

He doesn't care about women. He's trying to have some "gotcha!" moment with my position on Muslims.
Do have to say though, if we are bringing people into our country and they are breaking our laws, we should do what we can to prevent it. That would involve actively educating new citizens about our laws. That isn't the bleeding heart lefty answer; it's a solution to a problem.

I agree Assault and Battery with a Weapon and it should based on Canadian laws and not be about Race Religion or Creed (seperation of church and state is important) and all people that did or do the same thing get the same charges and sentancing.
Justice should be blind but everyone has the right to fair and open trial by an unbiased Judge and unbiased jury of their peers and have someone to defend/represent their case to advise them in a court of law...everyone is
Innocent till proven Guilty in Court of Law everyone should have that legal right.
For Latins and Greeks : Lady Justice is also known as Iustitia or Justitia after Latin: Iustitia the Roman goddess of Justice, who is equivalent to the Greek goddess Themis and Dike.

Wrong. There is nothing in any religion quite like Islam.
In his new book Islamic Exceptionalism, Shadi Hamid a scholar at Brookings, and a self-identified liberal calls that a "well-intentioned red herring." He says Islam really is different from other religions, he says, and many Muslims view politics, theocracy, and violence differently than do Christians, Jews, or non-religious people in Europe and the United States.
He said, "I see very little reason to think secularism is going to win out in the war of ideas. But the question is: Why would it in the first place? Why would that even be our starting presumption as American observers? It's presumptuous and patronizing to think a different religion is going to follow the same basic trajectory as Christianity"

I just showed you from an Islamic scholar. Islam is not interested in Western secular law. It's ignorant to assume it will follow the Christian trajectory because it IS NOT Christianity. The proof of that is from Malaysia to Marseille.
That doesn't show that at all.

I did a search of Shadi Hamid..
He pointed out something I knew and that is what we consider secular Malaysia and Indonesia actually have more sharia bylaws at the local level than many Middle Eastern nations..
He calls Muhammad a state builder, and to build a state you need to capture territory, which requires violence..
He summed up Islamism in a sentence as the attempt to reconcile pre-modern Islamic law with the modern nation state.
I have no problem with that and some Christians want to bring faith into the public sphere even though the Lord recognized the separation of state and faith..
Maybe if Muslims form majorities in some jurisdictions in the future they may enact bylaws that are centred around Islamic law..
We'll see I guess.

Quote from: "weebles"
the probel with making writteing laws is over time they mat need to be chaged so they can evolve and at the time they were written one must assume things were diffrent as ell hard to understand when they wer written of how things will be into the future they need to be flexable with the times.
Plus with them being open to diffrent peoples interpretation leads to misinterpretation which also adds other problems with lawmaking from what I see then again not really brushed up on Law/Lawmaking just thinking outloud here.
I think that is what the Islamic scholar is getting at weebles..
Islam sees state and faith as one in the same as I understand it, but sharia law is still in the pre modern era..
If they updated and modernized sharia law there would be less opposition to Islam in m opinion.

We have many legal restrictions on alcohol already but we did prohibition. It was a huge failure.
There are towns in Canada that are "dry". Most reserves are dry too and we see how well that's working out.
Still have dry counties and towns in Texas. This one does a good business due to a couple close towns not selling alcohol. It's also the closest to the Frio river in Concan.

you have to remember that some people can sociably drink and others that have drinking problem(s) IMO it should be seen as an addiction/mental health issue plus if it were banned there would be a huge illicit black market for it.
It would end up uncontrolled/unregulated and people would never know the quality or Alcohol by volume of a drink or what type or grade of alcohol they are comsuming Or even if it is alcohol.
it would be much like the opioid crisis we face with fentanyl today and accidental Overdoses.
Since prohibition made the Gangsters/Booze Runners Rich back in the day caused violent shootings and other Gang Relateed illegal activity it would not work and people need to be fre to choose if they want to drinl or not but their should be regulators to insure it is safe and has quilty control.
also to prevent it from going to the black market and it could be used to raise taxes (Sin Tax*) to help with alcoholism/addicton treatment(s) and anti-drinking and driving ad's.

Criticism remains that Prohibition led to unintended consequences such as the growth of urban crime organizations and a century of Prohibition-influenced legislation. As an experiment it lost supporters every year, and lost tax revenue that governments needed when the Great Depression began in 1929.
