The Boyle issue

[AlbertaFarmer5]

I don't know why the world is so anti-Putin, I think he is likely the best most level headed world leader.

I have Russian ancestry, maybe I should move there.

I think you just answered your own question. We can't have any world leaders who don't tow the UN line. Putin vs. Trudeau in any intellectual activity would not be a pretty outcome.

Can't disagree with what Putin said, except to note that they do need immigrants, their population is imploding, births having been well below replacement for decades.

At first glance this whole Boyle thing makes no sense. Now thinking about it the guy is just bat shit crazy. I figure his reports of the captors raping his wife and killing his child is just him talking about himself in the third person. The current charges of confinement/threats/ and sexual assault against one unnamed person. Likely his wife is the victim, prob was the whole time they were in Afganistan, was abusive to take her there in the first place. I find it hard to believe they would have kept an entire family hostage for 5 yrs??? He was an insider.

The charges relate to events that happened after he returned to Canada apparently.

Gotta love these dictatorships where the guy only needs to get elected once then there is no getting rid of him. Change the rules, lock up any politician that would run against you. Look how well it worked in Zimbabwe!

A discerning eye would note of the how many “democratic” nations purported to be maybe 1/2 to 2/3 are truly that and of those how much corruption and organized crime has messed them up. Any nation that has democratic in their name is a dictatorship. For a nation to achieve democracy the people need to be ready for it and this takes time, especially if you’ve been under totalitarian rule for many years. Like with Russia when democracy isn’t running on all 8 cylinders you tend to retrace your steps.

It is very of strange to see Agriville posters who say they would prefer to live in Russia with Putin than live in Canada with Trudeau.

Perhaps they haven't noticed that Putin typically jails his political opponents and in some cases they die under suspicious circumstances. How very democratic!

Other than widespread corruption and countless examples of human rights violations I am sure that some of the agriville poster would do well there. LOL Probably because in Russia they could find numerous like minded political allies.

In Russia they would of taken care of Boyle, Shoot shovel and shut up. In Canada we give these guys a platform and they cry Canadian Rights/human rights. We pay them millions because we dont have enough balls stand up to them. Its all about getting the Ethnic vote, If you get the Ethnic vote you win the election.

Which ethnic vote?? Boyle is a white Canadian of Irish ancestry in anything I've read about him.

Perhaps because the political correctness pendulum has swung much too far here, and there is a happy medium somewhere between this and Russia. Instead of throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
