...not pointless; let's turn it around. In Canada, no one denies that this horrible incident is horrible. Justice is sought, and in the end Justice will be seen. Across Canada, now, the Commission has taken the extra time to hear from all the affected people, communities, law enforcement, and especially the families involved. No one denies the Injustice Native Canadians have suffered, Canadians seek to improve their condition, it is always a top priority in any Government.
...indeed racism and ignorance exist in Canada, it is in affect the same divide in Cyprus, between "Greeks" and Greeks, or "Turks" and Turks, those who will continue in a destructive (and criminal,) way of life selfishly, and those who understand that there is a responsibility we have toward each other by demonstrating the willingness to support Universal Principals, and a respect for the Rule of Law. Indeed Canada exists, and beside those who think Canadians are not Canadians because they are not "Canadian", the rest of us are a far better representation of who live in Canada.
...indeed the incidences these girls suffered are almost unbelievable, a systematic form of sexual exploitation for the most part, over years; find a helpless female, Native is best because it means that they are not local, rape her, make her disappear. Who wants to believe that such people live among us? And if they do, in Canada, while it has taken too long, the effort to change this, to end it, is there. While Justice may never be seen for some of these young people, Justice is done. Misery exists, and having found it, it is not ignored; what is your point? Despite the misery it sounds hopeful to me.
...you live in a strange world Lordo, the word transference comes to mind.
...you can step on America and Canada all you want, it does not diminish the notion that beyond the Person, and the Liberty it entails, as Individuals, Canadians as Canadians (Americans too) defend their Freedom as equals, for equality.
While it was Anastasiades who refused to accept all the conditions put to him, i remind you that everything that could satisfy Turkey's demands were accepted, except the Sovereignty of the Country he represents as its President.
...Akinci, if his intention is to be Anastasiades' equal, he may consider who he represents: Cypriots (who are Turcophone), or "Turks". Equal is easy to represent, let him stand underneath the Flag of Cyprus shaking Mr. Anastasiades' hand, because Cyprus, to a Cypriot is most important (perhaps with the flag of the Greek Constituency, the flag of his own Constituency, the Flag of Greece, Turkey, Britain, and the EU, far in the background somewhere).
...it is not a "new" Cyprus we need, although as Cypriots we need Constitutional Reform.
