The bottom line is, Liberals, who most likely don't believe in God but in Darwinism, are not letting natural selection take its place, therefore hurting the human race. Are the ugly/fat/sick/weak allowed to live in the animal kingdom (which greenies/Libs so vehemently defend)? The animals take care of those problems - and do so through brute strength/don't get to breed. It just shows the utter hippocracy of the left. | 1 | toxic |

Wynne has been a catastrophe for Ontario. With a huge appetite for big spending and dismal ability to deliver results, Ontario is now uncompetitive and with a high cost economy. Before it is too late we need to get our economy to become competitive, we need to control the unions and we need health care which is not rationed by a centrally planned communist government.

And you have accused me of fantasy, and of cooking up fairy tails. Take a pill and reflect, AT, on knowable facts, which don't include your facile assumptions about the movie-watching habits of people you don't know.

Taggart needs to run laps and do push-ups with all the players who committed penalties due to lapses in focus. There were too many for the second week in a row. He also needs to recognize what a mistake it is to virtually shut down his passing game just because Herbert threw his first interception. Shutting down the passing allowed Nebraska to key on the Ducks' running game, thus shutting it down as well, and putting more pressure on the defense. Not a good plan, and just lucky it worked out this time. Just keep the foot on the gas offensively and challenge the opponent to keep up. | 0 | not toxic |

Whereas here in Lane County, there are five (5) private companies providing garbage service that goes to common landfills.
There is a large Corporation that makes enough money providing those services in several States and in Canada that they even sponsor golf tournaments.
It's called Waste Management. http://www.wm.com/about/index.jsp
"The company's network includes 367 collection operations, 346 transfer stations, 293 active landfill disposal sites, 16 waste-to-energy plants, 146 recycling plants, 111 beneficial-use landfill gas projects and six independent power production plants. Waste Management offers environmental services to nearly 27 million residential, industrial, municipal and commercial customers in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. With 26,000 collection and transfer vehicles, the company has the largest trucking fleet in the waste industry."

AGW is nothing but FRAUD only the mentally challenged believe in.
A simple greenhouse test:
- 20x20x8' greenhouse has 3,200 cubic feet
- The amount of CO2 is 1.28 cubic feet
- Does any grown sane adult honestly believe adding or removing 1 cubic foot of CO2 from the greenhouse is going to magically change the temperature by 2C?
If this was true why would anyone need to pay for energy to heat their house? All they would need to do is put a clear bubble on their roof and fill it with 100% CO2.
- The amount of CO2 increase since 1960 is equal to 7x7x7" in the greenhouse. Does anyone think this makes a difference?
- The fact is 224 cubic feet of CO2 is required to make the greenhouse temperature rise by 1C, about 70,000 PPM.

It should be built. There is more risk and cost to the environment with the present set up. We have tankers coming in full and leaving empty. There is less environmental risk with the pipeline bringing oil from the west. Then the tankers leave full - and can be stalled if the weather is bad or if there are other issues that would cause a hazardous situation. There are pipelines all over the place now -you just don't see them since they were built so long ago. Rail cars are mush more hazardous.

A few years ago Air Canada, in an attempt to cut costs, simply substituted Rouge in Western Canada as a replacement for it's regular service on many U.S. routes out of Vancouver and Calgary.
There was no corresponding fare cuts though as Air Canada (Rouge or otherwise) fares remain in lockstep with not only West Jet pricing. but other carriers operating out of Canada.
I suspect West Jet will follow this model and substitute it's new "carrier" on many runs, whilst still keeping price on a par with Air Canada. The customer will see a substantial service reduction, and very little price savings. | 0 | not toxic |
And there you have it: Trump making promises on the campaign trail about things of which he is completely ignorant, and never even thought about.

Two out of three of the proposals make good sense. The US exists in a competitive world, and our tax system needs to take that into account.
Multinational corporations, whether the parent company is based in the US or abroad, make decisions all the time about where to put the next manufacturing plant, research center or headquarters. The US's current corporate tax rate of 35% puts the US economy at a serious disadvantage when almost all our trading partners have rates of 15% to 20%. Get the jobs and wealth here! Lower the corporate rate substantially --- whether 15% or 20%. Find sensible ways to raise revenues with other taxes, such as energy or financial transaction taxes, VAT, border adjustment taxes, changes to individual rates.
Profits held overseas produce no tax revenue. Charge a much lower rate and bring the money home. This will produce substantial one-time tax revenues and bring more wealth into the US.

This line of thought does not feel contradictory to me. The timber industry is part of the fabric and history of Oregon and is not going away. I am as appalled as anyone by the reckless forestry practices in the past but have to believe that we are beyond the most destructive of those. I realize that there is a much bigger climate change picture here and that insightful and proactive forest management can only go so far toward restoring the natural balance of our forests but I believe it is entirely possible to manage the forests in a way that will not harm the environment and still support the timber industry. | 0 | not toxic |

"How Canada can support immigration in the era of Brexit and Trump"
This 'immigration' term is all purposely misleading by the media and certain opinion-shapers.
As the word immigration states, you assume it comes from different areas of the world, but what Canadians are getting, mainly, is people from one particular part of the planet not vent on assimilation , rather their wish is to impose their political-religious ideology, on this country's naive citizens, aided of course by a sympathetic PM agenda to eventually allow their barbaric practices in Canada.

Dr. Reich seems far more sanguine about Trump's likely long-term impact on our world than I am!
I think our defense department leadership can keep us from an atomic holocaust; I'm crossing my fingers the Federal Reserve and Congress - while they may not get us to a sustainable, wealth-sharing path of sensible growth, I do think they can keep us from another crash so closely following the last one. Troubled health care & health policy, faltering education, an ever-increasing social crudity, and expanded violence are fates we are likely to be stuck with - with or without Trump. We may still have opportunities to address those things in the future if we decide they merit attention.
No, My major worry is that we don't really have that kind of time to waste on addressing the rapidly growing impacts of global warming: 4 to 8 years of Trumpian denial & regressive policies seems more than we can really afford!

We are talking here about settled doctrine which has been undermined by a handful of prelates led by Cardinal Kasper. Communion for the divorced and remarried was never an issue prior to the Synods.
There was no consensus within the Synods for a change so the status quo should still prevail.
The vast majority of the First World laity may consider themselves highly educated but that is no proof that they are. Catechesis has been so poor and haphazard that most Catholics' knowledge of their Church and its teaching is in the 'little learning' category which we all know is 'a dangerous thing'.
As for the internet, I agree. It provides a smorgasbord of differing takes on Catholicism, enough to persuade anyone that their particular vices are no longer immoral, in some cases even virtuous. Everyone these days seems to have an opinion on what 'Jesus would do' when faced with today's situations: usually what Jesus would do is what they, themselves, would do. | 0 | not toxic |
Here's what Ed Kilgore at NY Magazine had to say:
"The bottom line is that Trump has a much better chance of getting through this “crisis” than Nixon did when he “massacred” a special counsel and the Justice Department officials defending him. The key thing to watch is whether congressional Republicans decide in large numbers that Trump’s stonewalling over Russia and his generally imperious habits are endangering their grip on the Legislative branch in 2018. If and when that wall breaks, and the GOP no longer feels a need for solidarity with its president, then depending on what is underneath all the furor, Trump and his associates could be in real trouble."
But that's a big "IF." Isn't it a sorry indictment that when the Republicans in Congress are staring at the very real possibility that high treason has been committed by the Republican president, the one and only thing that will absolutely ensure that they do the right thing is craven self-preservation.

She is addicted to the drug.
There must be other medications which are not as addictive, that would give a sufficient level of pain control without the dependency and addiction.
Addiction is living for the sake of a thing, and then it is not possible to change the medication, because the patient acutely needs that medication or will go into withdrawal.
If I was a clinician, I would not want to use a solution which entrenches itself, and cannot be adapted, tweaked, or modified - except in increasing doses.
It would be preferable - to get perhaps 80% of the pain management - to a point the patient can function - and retain the control.
That's why I am more in support of medical marijuana and other softer alternatives in such circumstances where there is chronic use of the medication. | 0 | not toxic |
Teams like Denver should form draft/trade alliances against the big market Super Teams. It matters not if you win 43 games or 23, as you have no chance of even being in your conference final (never mind actually competing for the championship) - thus you should trade ALL your good players to one of the other teams in your alliance in exchange for their draft picks (and any duplicate skill players on their roster). Every three or four years you take your own turn with having the good players. You'd probably need at least three teams to make it work, but that's about the right cycle time anyway. | 0 | not toxic |

First and foremost is total population. Whether high skilled or low skilled, the more bodies we have, the more resources they consume. So slowing the overall population growth rate should be the top priority within the immigration quotas. Then WITHIN those quotas, I'd deal with the "quality" issue you rose (i.e. giving preference to value-added immigrant applicants over less value-added).
Of course, that's all LEGAL immigration. The obvious priority above all that is stopping illegal immigration dead in it's tracks. | 0 | not toxic |

"Listen to the people. Politicians, show some guts and listen to Canadians."
Perhaps bigMangione it is you who needs to listen to the people, and also read this article.
It points out that:
"Eight Canadians in 10 agree with the statement: 'The economic impact of immigrants is positive.' ”
It seems there is a cognitive dissonance with some people. No matter how many studies show that immigration is good for the economy, or surveys taken that Canadians support immigration, they think the guy who just arrived here is taking their job. Or overloading the neighborhood schools.
Why not look at the real culprit Ibbitson mentions in his column -- the fact that most of the wealth produced in last two decades has gone to the tiny 1% group.
