It is a fine kettle of fish indeed. Danged if you do and danged if you don't.
Let's extrapolate to another related issue - if you can't afford a roof or food, should we make someone else pay for them for you?
The point being that the Republicans abhor paying taxes to provide services to the poor. So if they don't want to tax themselves to pay for healthcare food or rent, then how do you provide healthcare food and rent for the poor?

From your article;
“But we also have methods of de-emphasizing or de-programming people who want to harm our society, and those are some things we have to move forward on.”
Agreed .. move forward on it .. and fly them back home.
Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale said Wednesday that the government has identified about 250 people with links to Canada who are suspected of travelling overseas to engage in terrorist activity .
This could involve front-line fighting, training, logistical support, fundraising or studying at extremist-influenced schools. Yet the number who have returned to Canada has remained largely unchanged at around 60 over the past two years, suggesting there has not been a sudden influx of terrorists into the country.
Only 60 ? Hope they relocate to your hometown.
Still, the government has refused to say much about those 60 individuals, including who they are, where they travelled, what they may have done, and what the government is doing about them.
Why ? Sex predators we know about. Canadian soldier enemies ? ... nah .. we're good ??
Really ?Much of the current political furor has centred on a new government centre that is funding research and programs to stop radicalization and help people leave extremist groups like IS.
As for the centre, which has a budget of $35 million over the next five years, it will fund programs and initiatives run by local organizations and groups. That means "the federal government will not actually"be rehabilitating or re-integrating returnees.
I see. They're outsourcing it ... and paying for it (but not actually doing it though) ?? Textbook Liberalism 101
“Counter-terrorism is never one-dimensional in a democracy. Prevention and re-integration are simply strands within a comprehensive counter-terrorism approach.”
How bout' this approach ... deportation ??
“If you can’t prosecute them or there’s long delays in prosecuting them or if peace bonds are only a partially effective measure … we can just do nothing. Just let them loose in our society,” he said.
“Or you try and have some kind of program available that they could be strongly encouraged to partake in these programs.
This ISN'T Canada's "only" option. Think deportation. Some kind of program ? .. lol Like colouring books and crayons ? Or autographed selfies with the PM for anybody who competes the course .. at gov't expense, of course ? No thanks. Not for this conservative.
Should the Liberals dedicate more resources to ensure anyone coming back to Canada who is a member of ISIL or another terrorist group is investigated and prosecuted? Could the government be more transparent in terms of who is returning and what is being done to ensure they don’t pose a threat to society?
These are fair questions.
But the Conservatives suggest there has been a sudden influx of IS members into Canada, and that the government is welcoming them with open arms, the experts say.
“(Raitt’s) statement is trying to play upon people’s emotions in a reactionary way instead of being practical and realistic,” Dawson said.
Ya want practical and realistic ? Anybody that assisted or fought for ISIL/ISIS is/was trying to kill our soldiers ! Let that sink in ... okay ?
"Card carrying member" .... Do the Conservatives a favour .. and rip it up.

Literacy check:
Consider the sentence:
"You declare to respect the law and yet you violated it yesterday"
Is this a criticism of people of declare to respect the law, or of those who violate it?
You might not agree with the content of the criticism, that is perfectly ok. But
if you say that the reason of criticism is the number of times that "America" was mentioned,
you probably are in bad faith and I can only encourage you to look into yourself and ask the reason.
(The less probable explanation is that you cannot interpret english language.)

What is a living wage? Having enough money to buy food, clothing, and shelter should be a living wage, but most want to include cell phones and internet and satellite TV and movies and CDs and pet food and, and, and.
Simple truth is that most money earned today is wasted on wants not necessities.
I also see people run to the clinic when taking an aspirin would be sufficient.

I guess that means we can now start throwing personal attacks at each other! JK!
I understand why the mandate was there, but I think it was incredibly unconstitutional to pass the ACA with the mandate. It's one thing if it was a complete single payer system (which would be better than ACA) where it comes out of everyone's taxes, but for the government saying we have to buy something doesn't sound right. I had family members who could not come close to affording the "Affordable" Care act and was fined for not being able to sign up for any insurance.
Out of curiosity Brother Ricky, what are your thoughts on a single payer system?
