all of those links emperically show Syrian regime behind a number of chemical attacks

false

by this flawed logic, Russia is the world's biggest funder of terrorism

since most of them globally use Russian weapons

see the references i've cited

all the evidence is there, to the primary sources

to remove Sassad

keep the government

help them choose someone who's competent in leading

who's moderate

false, ISIS wouldn't win

because the government would win

however Assad and some others will be gone

ISIS victory does not depend on Assad staying alive

false

isis does NOT depend on him being alive

as long as the military remains

and the coalition remains to target ISIS

and other groups

it won't be an issue

^nice meme

false

the mujahideen fought off illegal Russian imperalism

false

the group fracured due to several years of political/religous infighting

https://www.everycrsreport.com/reports/RL30588.html this provides a nice backgrounder

you'll learn a lot

^hhahahahahaha

nice meme

^HAHAHAHAHA nice meme, Kremlin disinfo agent

i didn't claim it was/wasn't

he's at work, with the internet research agency

(Kremlin troll farm)

sounds about right, nice projection though. Keep trollin for daddy putin

false, it has killed

if you think ODing is the only method of action to die from drugs, you're an idiot

the mechanism of action is clear

i'm against it to an extent, it has no medical value as marijuana. Some isolated compounds do look promosing

however they also suffer limitations, this is reflected in the medical literature

false

isolated compounds do

not marijuana

superior drugs exist on the market for pain relief

it's worse for depression

https://lawfareblog.com/canada-tries-domestic-bulk-collection-it-just-might-work
"Every step of this process must be recorded, including an analyst’s justification for conducting a query and the basis for retaining results. The bill also requires periodic and random auditing, and all auditing reports must be provided to the National Security Intelligence and Review Agency (NSIRA), a new review body introduced in Part 1 of the bill with the authority to investigate the activities of all national security agencies. What’s more, should NSIRA be of the opinion that the querying or exploitation of a dataset may not be in compliance with the law they can refer the matter to the Federal Court of Canada.

"...Instead, by placing judicial control at the retention stage, establishing a higher threshold for use, mandating robust safeguards, and giving the review body some teeth, this bill may prove to be both constitutionally viable and operationally feasible."

this is a good step for Canada

mhm

allows them to do their job in combating terrorism more effectively. Whilst protecting privacy and civil liberties... and establishing more oversight mechanisms

as explained in the piece, and mandated by the bill

it aims to have the same review/oversight mechanisms basically present in the US and UK

that's a good road to go down, since that means it's very effective in its review/oversight... the US sets the standard in which to have checks and balances of its Intelligence Community

for independence and fairness

yes

yes

https://www.dni.gov/files/icotr/Section702-Basics-Infographic.pdf this looks at in a basic overview, the mechanisms in place for one program. Very easy to understand

https://www.gchq.gov.uk/features/gchq-oversight

that's not an argument. I am CORRECT.

nope

if you cannot prove otherwise, you MUST accept the evidence provided to you

"that's a good road to go down, since that means it's very effective in its review/oversight... the US sets the standard in which to have checks and balances of its Intelligence Community
for independence and fairness" Must be proven otherwise

if you claim they do not have oversight or an effective one as the Americans have, that must be proven to be the case

https://www.gchq.gov.uk/features/gchq-oversight what is wrong in this?

evidence.

then how do you know?

I will put this as bluntly as I know how: There is no way that the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York would have sought or executed a search warrant against the president’s lawyer without overpowering evidence to support the action. The legal standard for such a search requires only probable cause that criminal activity is taking place. Under normal circumstances, which these are not, the prudential and policy factors counseling against such an action would be powerful.
For starters, the Justice Department is institutionally cautious about searches involving attorneys acting in their role as attorneys. As Paul Rosenzweig noted, “the U.S. Attorney’s Manual has an entire section that limits how and when the offices of an attorney may be searched. Realizing full well that such searches are in derogation of the value of the [attorney-client] privilege, the manual requires high-level approvals, the exhaustion of other investigative avenues, and specifies procedures that are to be followed to limit the intrusion on privileged documents.” Moreover, the Justice Department would have been additionally cautious about seeking any warrant against this particular lawyer—precisely because doing so makes clear that a ring is closing around the president. Going after a prominent person’s lawyer for matters related to his representation of the client is, after all, an aggressive act toward the client, not just toward the lawyer. And Trump is, as he puts it, a counterpuncher.

This is the kind of step that would predictably elicit a reaction. The Justice Department simply would not take such an action lightly or without evidence that emphatically supports it. Add these prudential, legal and policy factors together and they cumulatively suggest that the evidence supporting the warrant application likely exceeds—probably by far—what is legally required.
