We do not live in 7 BC, we live in 2017 where many of the words we use today have absolutely no resemblance of their original intent. take fag for an example. Furthermore There are many forms of punishment that have absolutely nothing to do with harming, as well as other forms of punishment that do harm because that is the only way said pupil will learn the discipline.

Bill, I agree with you on the main point here. That the Clinton campaign rigged the Democratic Party's choice for 2016 is terrible. My comment above doesn't dispute that. It's about the 90% or so of the letter above that reads like Russian propaganda. I'm curious: Are you okay with Russian intervention in a U.S. election? Are you sure there wasn't any?

What I am saying is that if a choice has to be made between dead people in Eugene and dead people in North Korea, I prefer the live people to be in Eugene. Whether that is done by assassination of the President of North Korea, a fuel-air bomb on his nuclear stockpile and his ICBM storage and manufacturing sites or in some other way is the tactical choice of the people who do that. The United Nations has declared his stockpiles or both nuclear weapons and his attempts to develop ICBMs illegal numerous times; we are still at war and he has violated the cease fire. You are certainly not providing any viable alternative. Presidents going all the way back to Carter have tried appeasement. This particular third-generation crime family deserves 'regime change' at least as much as Assad and Gaddaffi, if not more.

You're kidding, right? "...governed along centre-right lines"? Where were those 'lines' when the Liberals were adding tax after tax, and massive debts, on BC residents? What taxes and debts you say? They stole money from ICBC, raised everyone's insurance rates to do it, and have just about killed the insurance company. They forced BC Hydro to invest billions in dubious projects which sent the company into massive debts that BC citizens are responsible for. They downloaded so many costs onto municipalities that massive tax increases were required on homeowners, etc. I could go on, but hopefully you understand that the BC Liberals were as 'Tax-and-Spend' as any left wing government has ever been

For decades Canadians have been taxed to the hilt by a public sector which is out of control and the services delivered are being steadily stripped away. Commencing January 2017 it will be Carbon taxes. In the near future we can expect another layer of taxes in the form of infrastructure user fees. Governments are asking large Public Sector Pension Funds to buy into the infrastructure ownership plan. These Pension Funds have been created and supported by public tax dollars, now they are going to gouge even more. The hand that feeds is being bitten again.

Absolutely agree. There was no need for Mr. Frei to make his original statement, and his lengthy "apology" (or whatever that was) displayed his muddy thinking. He was making some kind of comparison between American soldier deaths in World War II and someone who won an international race the day before Memorial Day. It seemed unnecessarily to bring nationality (or race?) into a sports activity for no good reason.

They are like used car salesmen except you are handing over your life's savings for a long time. This is so important there should be some kind of registry where advisors must register the contents of the portfolio's (minus personal info) they manage and all the costs, gains and losses (present and past). A person could then make a decision not based on how good they sound (about a topic the consumer knows little about) but about how well they have managed assets their entire career.

Yeah, yeah, and I fly the confederate flag because I love my proud southern heritage. Never mind that it was a battle flag in a war to preserve freaking slavery. Yes, there are people who are attached to the crucifixes and stuff because of "heritage". They do exist. Their heritage is just about as valuable as that southern US slaver heritage. Remember what you said about the Catholic church being oppressive? Well, was it or wasn't it? There are also damnsure people who are attached to the crucifixes for religions reasons. And if there were no such people, there wouldn't be enough of the "culture" people to keep the things on the walls. Furthermore, personally worn symbols of "active, personal faith" deserve a whole lot more leeway than government-endorsed expressions of attachment to either a religion OR a traditional heritage of religious oppression.

Québec was the first province to introduce mandatory Islamic studies in the public school system; in effect, sacrificing gains made during the Quiet Revolution to accommodate the Religion of Peace, after denying the Catholic Church the right to interfere in the public education system. http://boreal.ca/TYC/TheFuture.htm "Gérard Bouchard and Charles Taylor, concluded in 2008 that no such crisis exists.

Bill 62 is not as accommodating as the legislation that made a joke of a secular public school education, but is eminently reasonable nonetheless.

Interesting viewpoint. Last week in this newspaper the state legislator said the current prison population in this state is busting the state budget yet some say here that addicts who have committed no crimes should go to prison because federal "tax" money should not be used to treat addictions. The point that I am making is that addiction is a huge financial burden on society, some addicts do not hold jobs, they get divorced, do not support their kids and sell drugs and commit crimes to get money to fuel their addiction and tie up our court system which costs a lot of state money. So no matter how society deals with addicts they costs a lot of money to the communities and the states they live in. Better to spend my tax money on treating them and giving them an opportunity to live a useful life rather than spend decades in the "system" on the state dime. I know addicts who have been treated and they do reclaim their lives, it happens all the time.

its all good and well for the Concourt to have a made that judgement, ostensibly to protect the rights of "tenants". But it certainly has not helped with the bigger picture. Firstly they are not tenants, they are squatters. They are also not homeless, because they have occupied a building, outside of the law. But they will be homeless if evicted, in spite of the initial action of squatting being against the law. The owners have abandoned their buildings because it is more profitable to do so, or it incurs less spending. Whatever. One has to feel some sympathy for the city, who has to take action, because the CBD needs to be reinvented, which needs investment, which requires at least some measure of gentrification, which requires evictions, which requires building or providing alternatives, etc etc. And all the while, the National Governmnent, who is primarily to blame for creating the economic circumstances forcing the migration in the first place, is nowhere to be seen or heard.

ANMC has won Magnet status three time in a row. I remember that when it was awarded Magnet status the second time, it was the first time any hospital had ever achieved Magnet twice. That means that nurses have a very high satisfaction rate in their jobs, so it's not just patients. Frankly, it is the best healthcare I've ever received, and it also comes from the nicest medical staff I've ever met. Patients are treated very well. The difference is not the lack of copays, however much people may appreciate that. The differences that make SCF and ANTHC so successful are cultural and values based. It's pretty clear to me that non-Native America really does not have what it takes to be able to provide such good healthcare. The dominant values are antithetical to nurturing and healing, and especially to sharing. People would need to be able to do all those things and more in order to give great healthcare like SCF and ANTHC do.

The larger issue here is the continuing investment in fossil-fuel infrastructure. We should be spending money to build smart grids to integrate wind and solar; to develop grid-scale storage through large battery, pumped hydro and hydrogen facilities; to speed the introduction of electric vehicles etc. Oil pipelines are so 20th century. The danger to the water supply from the pipeline is one thing, the danger to the planet from continuing to emit greenhouse gases by burning the fuel that will flow through the pipeline is of a different order of magnitude. As the Trump administration tries to ramp up fossil-fuel use we will have to engage in protests on a much larger scale.
