SHOULD TRUMP BE GRANTED ENTRY TO CANADA
- jim Young As per the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA), Sections #36 & #37, President Trump is ineligible for entry to Canada based on his criminal record. Mr. Trump has been convicted of sexual abuse, and 34 counts of fraud in the United States. However, the IRPA provides for exceptions and special circumstances that can be taken into account. President Trump is a World Leader who is scheduled to attend the G7 Summit to be held in Kananaskis, Alberta beginning June 13. Special consideration will undoubtedly be a factor in the decision to determine if Mr. Trump is eligible to enter Canada. Canadian Law, however, was not written with the intent of providing exceptions except where warranted. In addition to provisions that are allowed for special consideration in accordance with the IRPA there are many other factors that must also be taken into account. One of the considerations that can be taken into account when reviewing entry status for a convicted felon is th...
I love this!
ReplyDelete- You had wished that more people would show their reaction and use the comments on your site rather than just on Facebook. As far as comments go, just make it a regular footnote on your Facebook post. "Please make your comments on my site rather than here."
The issue I have with reactions is that the reaction options do not allow me to express that I "Love" it or say that I find it "Awesome."
I found this, and other entries to be both.
Thanks Gary.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to add more reactions but apparently blogger only allows three. I can however, customize them. Any suggestions for what the 3 reaction options should be?
Hmmm,I wasn't expecting you to call then raise the stakes (not).
DeleteMy first thought is not to have a 'negative' reaction. If they don't like it they can make a comment. I would want to know what people like so I can write more of that kind of thing. Hahaha, that has never motivated either of us.
I know this is a chance to be creative and innovative but people have been trained (brainwashed) to like, love or laugh.
I just don't think it's fair to offer a "positive" reaction without offering an opposite and equal "negative" reaction as well as a "I don't care" reaction.
DeletePerhaps that's why blogger only offers the 3 options.
It's true I want to know what people like so I can write MORE about THAT. But I also want to know what people DON'T like so I can also decide if I want to write MORE about THAT!
Mostly I don't want to write about what people think "they don't care" about.
The standard negative reaction is that the reader will simply click away to something else. I would like to look into the internal workings of Blogspot more to see if there is a 'hit counter' that tells how many people stayed for not long enough to read the whole article and just moved on. That's a negative reaction.
DeleteOkay, Maybe it's just me. I write because it makes me feels good. I know that I will be followed by people who also like that material. If that is no one it had no impact because I still enjoy it. If a million people follow me it just lets me know that I have shared a thought that is popular. Popular is not my goal. Enjoyment is.
In part, I write to learn. I don't always 100% agree with what I write about, but I find a controversial or unusual position will be more likely to invoke a response and provide some feedback that challenges me.
ReplyDeleteWhat I like about the "reactions" is it gives lazy people the opportunity to state their approval (or disapproval) with just a quick click.
I also find there are a lot of people that are too intimidated to leave a comment.
I wish there was also "reactions" for the comments as it would be an easy way for me to acknowledge that I have read the comment and politely say "thank you for your point of view". Yes - I'm often lazy as well.
