This pope needs to stop exaggerating the differences between men and women as though they were any more important than differences between races. They are not and all people are different and all people need to work together with equal respect in human dignity to change the world for good. This same equal dignity can only be proven to exist where there is equal treatment of all people in all the groups. In this case Pope Francis needs to change our laws and immediately treat women equally, by ordaining women to priesthood the same as men, as proof that he values them as equal human beings and equal Christians and equal representatives of Christ. Otherwise, his unequal treatment thru unequal ordination practices proves he believes women are less sacred beings than men. This inequity in treatment makes communal working towards peace and unity impossible to begin as pure hatred and misogyny are standing in the way. True Unity comes from Peace which comes only from authentic Justice.

You brought up five, so I'm bringing up one. Speaking of racism, wasn't it Democrat FDR who sent thousands of Japanese-American citizens to concentration camps? They lost their homes and businesses in the process. That's the democrat way of economic distribution. Don't talk to me about racism until you explain that. So,was FDR a 'fine person'? . Racism is ugly, yet some people like your own Senator Robert Byrd of W Virginia was a Klu Klux Klan wizard that evidently mended his ways? ..... some might say he was a fine person. Trump never condoned racism like Byrd did or the liberal democrat party has done in their embarrassing past. Look in a mirror before casting stones...Where racism is concerned, you have a party that's full of it.

I very much respect the work you do. In fact, count yourself blessed to be able to advocate for true refugees. You may have caught my comment that several years ago, I applied to the Jesuit Refugee Service but was turned down. Maybe it was because I was too old, or too married (I was separated at the time). Maybe they had notions about ex-prosecutors. Too bad. It would have been a challenging, good life. But I'm happy getting some wins for the disabled. Good luck with your refugee cases. They need all the good lawyering they can get.

"Joseph already indicated that Kelly, who is coming off knee and wrist surgeries, would remain on NFI; the Broncos can’t keep four quarterbacks on the roster." Well, that should do it for the Vance Joseph Experiment. He's completely tone deaf. Osweiler started 7 games for the Broncos in 2015. He never once scored a TD in the second half of any of those games. His lack of talent was masked by one of the top 5 defenses in NFL history. He's regressed since then and has ZERO motivation to succeed. He gets paid either way. The guy behind him, Lynch, got beat out by Siemian. Enough said. There is little to no upside with the QBs on this roster. They will all strive to avoid turnovers and "manage" the game. Kelly is the only one with upside who might actually move the chains for the first time in four years. The facts are all in front of Vance Joseph. He's either blind or incompetent. Either way, the rest of us all know how this story ends.

Trudeau brings in carbon tax and now okaying oil pipelines and using taxpayers' money to build gas guzzling V8 engines. If he was serious about climate change he could have used the money he is giving to wealthy corporations to subsidize electric cars. The province could use the revenue from the carbon tax to do the same. Despite Trudeau's empty worlds on climate change his popularity has increased.

Fair enough. I spent a few minutes last night (probably more than I should have!) reading about our vice presidents. It's interesting that Cheney appears on many (if not most) lists of the worst VPs; but he also appears on some lists of the best VPs. I guess it depends on the perspective of the person thinking about it. My thinking about Cheney is driven by the fact that he was truly consequential -- that his thinking, his worldview, was what President Bush acted on, to his own detriment and ours. Of course, history continues to unfold, and I don't exclude the possibility that our present VP, an apologist for and enabler of (and would-be successor to) the most corrupt, incompetent and unstable president is history, will turn out to be worse than Cheney was.

I wholeheartedly agree with Tony. Everyone needs to remember that businesses ship less goods because their customers are ordering less. Why is that? The answers start there. I believe the issues that need to be discussed are productivity and innovation. Because the day you fall behind in either is the day your customer finds another supplier. Is government a factor in all that... for sure. But so is geography, entrepreneurial ambition , work ethic, etc. If the business leaders in small medium manufacturing start thinking " its all the politicians' fault "( name your boogie man Lib Con NDP) we really are doomed.

The real problem with the CBC is it is extremely pro business on Newsworld, and its news coverage tends towards political correctness and human interest stories - being all warm and fuzzy about underdogs and going along with taking the viewpoints of marginalized groups and identity politics. It accepts the convention wisdom of economists that is to the right on economic issues, and on social issues it panders towards the left. Fix Newsworld or whatever it is called these days, and take a tip from Spinal Tap and move the news back to 11.
