EP #39 | God: The “Evil” Argument

June 30, 2020 admin Open College with Dr. Stephen Hicks Comments Off on EP #39 | God: The “Evil” Argument

The standard conception of God that is offered to us by theists suggest there are three major features of interest: God is said to be omnipotent or all-powerful, omnis­cient or all-knowing, and omnibenevolent or all-good. However, if the God who created the world is supposed to be all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-good, why did he create a world in which so much evil exists? And not only why did he create a world with so much evil in it, why did he create a world with any evil in it at all? An all-powerful, all-knowing, completely good creator of the universe would not have created an imperfect world with evil in it or would he?

Who were the politicians that sent their official Eid greetings to Muslims in Canada through the Muslim Association of Canada?

Do the gods exist? As mature and more sophisticated reasoned arguments for and against the idea of god have evolved, we can evaluate eighteen possible arguments, about seven are interesting. Argumentation about the natural world: time, causation, morality, beauty, logic, mathematical precision, and so on. Can they be explained in self-sufficient natural way or only by going beyond the natural?

EP #107 | Social Media & Corrupt Governments

June 8, 2020 admin Comments Off on EP #107 | Social Media & Corrupt Governments

The combination of the internet’s memory and the far reach of social media is new. Put into the hands of groups of citizens it may turn out to be incredibly powerful. This will be especially true when rooting out corruption, malfeasance, and racketeering in governments. So can it be done? I am not sure, but I think we’re going to find out in the very near future.

How will the current economic crisis unfold? There is an economic crisis, which will be followed by a financial crisis, which in turn will produce a sovereign debt crisis.

Among the younger, there is some level of awareness of its terrible history but they still think of it as an ideal to be striven for despite obvious concerns. What are the aims of democratic socialist, what do they wish to achieve and how will they achieve their goals? Should socialism be Monarchical, Aristocratic, or Democratic? Who should have power over you: one person? An elite group? The majority?

EP #104 | Ahmed Hussen: One small Piece of a large Racketeering Puzzle

April 28, 2020 admin Comments Off on EP #104 | Ahmed Hussen: One small Piece of a large Racketeering Puzzle

Ahmed Hussen exhibits some peculiar behaviour. His statements seem to be in conflict with his own government. This is the kind of stuff you read about in the book 1984. The minister tells you a program exists, so therefore it exists. The minister tells you the next day the program never existed, so therefore the government expects you to believe that the program never existed. Minister Ahmed Hussen’s actions have put the pensions and government benefits of all Canadians at risk. Is there more going on behind the scenes?

EP #103 | Just the tip of the Iceberg

April 20, 2020 admin Comments Off on EP #103 | Just the tip of the Iceberg

Canada has over one million illegals and tens of thousands of people with fake Social Insurance Numbers. People with fake SIN numbers have already received Canada Emergency Response Benefit which has been made available due to the pandemic. This is just the tip of the iceberg of what might be the largest fraudulent series of activities in Canada. Why is it that the Government of Canada, the Canada Revenue Agency, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police are aware of this massive fraud but have chosen to do nothing about this extensive criminal activity? We begin to address this issue today.
