My FAVORITE part about this discussion thread is how two people who are trying to explain their reasons for mistrusting the mainstream media have two separate reasons that directly contradict each other based on the facts. Jennifer Rubin is a liberal. No she's a neocon.

I wonder how much the recently passed minimum wage hikes played a role in closing the Oregon location. Too bad the reporter did not follow up on this important question. When major companies make citing decisions, they likely pay close attention to labor laws and business tax conditions.

Are you saying that the Globe is making this up ? If you are in Ottawa then you would know that information leaks out all the time, which is why papers have Ottawa bureaus. In your previous posts you gloss over the fact that past Liberal governments have either raised taxes, downloaded services to the provinces or made substantial cuts to existing services. There is no magic here, money has to come from somewhere, and since their election, various groups have looked at the Liberals promises and expenditures and have all arrived at the same conclusions. All the cheerleading in the world and all the delving into the past to deflect away from the present, won't change the fact that governments eventually raise money through taxation to cover excesssive spending. The fact that it is happening so soon in their mandate is a little unusual. | 0 | not toxic |

Most Portland restaurants already include include back-of-house employees in tip pools, or require front-of-house to give a percentage of food sales to the kitchen.

Sorry about your friend.
But by far, most violence is committed by locals, people renting or owning homes.
It simply isn't fair to take your frustration out on the thousands of people who have nothing and no one. One criminal assaulted your friend. Take it out on him, at least verbally. I strongly suspect any solution you come up with in your anger will commit a great deal of like violence on your fellow humans. There indeed are individuals who need strong action, including detention for long periods.
If a community refuses to have a public shelter system, and Lane County does not have one, and if that community allows businesses to run off with jobs that pay the rent, then there will be thousands without shelter. If you have a solution that has any chance to help, make that known. All city centers have a devolving problem with poverty.
You take the City of Eugene to task and I would remind you Springfield has similar or worse problems, as does Portland.

Most ignorant post of the season. "Worst Offenses in Baseball" really why is it they rank 6th in offense for entire MLB? and 4th in the NL. You pick out one pitcher that has the Rockies number, happens to every team, one pitcher seems to pitch and match up well against a team. Means nothing. Every team goes through a hitting slump, you look at past years performance and you know this team can hit. It is the pitching that is questionable for the entire season, Rookies and facing batters multiple times is the issue, you think you know more than Bud Black? Please, its well established, hitters facing pitchers more times read them better and do better. | 1 | toxic |

Nice post Steve. You've got the right 'search dog' attitude, follow the small of money when it comes to politics.
Only the US allows public advertising of prescription drugs. It's incredibly expensive, is often deceitful propaganda (Viagra is sold by sex and the ad appeal is obvious). No other developed nation has authorized drug pushing by modern marketing involving billions of dollars and both conscious and unconscious methods of persuasion — all of which is built into the cost of the drugs Americans purchase.
If the Republicans made only one tweak to the ACA it should be to ban public advertising and they'd make a positive move away from excessive spending and drug addiction in this country.

While no fan of demagogic populism, xenophobic rightwing or its neo-syndicalist leftwing form, I've waiting to hear what Preston Manning would have to say in reaction to Trump, Brexit, et al.
Two interesting implicit trends emerged in his past writings:
1. Strong endorsement of the need for a wise, brave and ethical leader (his Dad being his model) to give tone, form and substance to both the movement and its Political Party because, otherwise, the movement and Party would descend onto toxic paths or the leadership would cease to channel the legitimate populist desires creatively.
2. A personal openness to issues like climate change that are beyond the usual scope of social conservatives.
Under pressure, however, Manning has been as ready to stoke reactionary passions for partisan advantage and, in particular, to jettison openness on issues that might challenge the biases of his target audience. This article is a disappointingly timid reflection of that tendency. | 0 | not toxic |
“He has a bombastic style that often falls short of action.”
That may be the understatement of the century.
It will be a tough negotiation and undoubtedly Trump will blame everyone on the planet if they don't achieve what he wants (because the spray-tanned, ranting baboon is never wrong), but in the end he will end up alienating Congress and the Senate even more because they will do what is best for Americans, not what the ignorant deplorables want to see happen. | 1 | toxic |

Well, I don't disagree with you (completely), but (a) those scandals don't represent all of our politicians, even the ones in Washington! and (b) they were discovered because at least some people still had enough of a moral compass to believe that those actions were in fact a problem (both legally and morally); (c) we should have higher standards, as opposed to tolerating what some people do, whatever the reason for said toleration; (d) neither candidate may have had the moral high ground, but that doesn't mean then that either one of them should get a free pass on bad behavior; (e) even if one were inclined to dismiss what DT Jr. had done "in the heat of an election," his subsequent waffling post-election, as well as JK's lying about it on his security clearance paperwork is still a problem - a big problem, in my eyes.
As for the superfund, well, yes, I would agree with you, though despite my moral outrage, I don't think character is the main issue. I think the problem is money. | 0 | not toxic |

I lived at the Mission during the early 80's and am still in awe of its work and those who do the work. I am not a Christian, but view the Mission as a great example of what quiet devotion to one's principles can do. And there were many stories of men who not only got food and shelter, but companionship that gave them the will to keep on keeping on.
Sure, I wish the Mission would find a way to cooperate with Lane County to act as the official emergency shelter, seeing as how Lane County has none, but the Christian community that supports the Mission can be proud of what their dollars are doing. Some of the finest men I ever met lived at the Mission, slept in its beds and worked on the trucks gathering newspaper for recycling. Some struggled with major demons, but with the help of the Mission they were able to keep breathing and have a sense of dignity.

The perfect storm. Landlords that are not practicing responsible policies, i.e., maintaining a “fair and reasonable” profit margin and using the more greedy what the market will bear policy. Run that lack of maintaining a fair profit with abandoned social responsibility up against the homeless who may not be particularly flexible nor motivated and you have the perfect storm. (You don’t see many “hispanic or asian” individuals, the two largest groups of illegal’s according to statistics, among the homeless). Why is it that illegal’s who have little or no support on arrival seem to find a way to survive? ...., and many resident citizens are unable to. Does that mean the homeless are drug and or alcohol addicted, mentally ill or unmotivated and inflexible?

The worry, obviously, is that once the wealthy have no interest in public health care, the system it will go down hill even faster. Maybe having a small, designated OHIP fund subsidized by general revenues, as we do now, is a bad idea. If we paid enough OHIP fees to fund a proper health care system, that would cut into the province's general revenues as income tax would have to come down, and we could be assured that health care would have priority over, say, the PanAm games or the innovation building. Put another way, OHIP should not be funded by general revenues. And any income the OHIP fund earned would be retained in the fund. At the same time we could put caps on the pay of any administrator working in the health system. | 0 | not toxic |

And this is exactly the issue. What a waste of infrastructure. I'm not even in the burbs, but outside the Toronto core with a bunch of one-way streets and virtually empty sidewalks during the summer and from 9 to 3 on school days. I was ticketed $105 a few years ago for riding (very safely, up against the curb) the wrong way on a one way residential street, and the cop told me he wouldn't have ticketed me if I was on the sidewalk. And even if I was ticketed, it seems to be a cheaper ticket.
Note: it's actually safer to bike the wrong way on a one-way street. You can see the cars coming at you, rather than some super-quiet Prius sneaking up from behind. | 0 | not toxic |
Tory is correct. Plans change.
I would also note that we are in this mess because we didn't build more subways 40 years ago when we should have. We will be further behind if we delay. We have low interest rates and a stagnant economy - now is the best time to build for the future.
Chicago, a city that Toronto just recently surpassed in population, has twice as many subway track miles and stations than Toronto. We are also way behind world class cities such as New York, London, Hong Kong, and Paris.
It takes years for developers to build new condos, and offices along a transit corridor (e.g. Sheppard line). Build new subways and we will see new development along these corridors and relieve pressure from highways and suburban sprawl.
