I stand corrected. The Habs do not have to protect Andrei Markov as one of their three protected defencemen for the expansion draft because he is a UFA. The Habs can leave him unprotected on the June 15th deadline, and then re-sign him. It does leave him exposed, true, but it is unlikely he jumps ship. He's 38, but having a very good year. He's better at 38 than Beaulieu, Petry, Benn, Emelin etc. Sign him at a slight discount: 2 yrs. $10 mil Of note last night, Galchenyuk played 11:50 minutes as a winger, and not a peep from the rabid Habs crowd post game on their boards. If that had happened under a certain coach recently departed, viva la revolucion! It would seem that Mr. Julien is still in his honeymoon phase, turning the team around, tightening up the defence, Carey Price has come to life, playing smarter, secondary scoring. Of course, most of this is coincidental, except they are better on the PK. Still not scoring much, guys like Pacioretty and Radulov not at all.

Radical right!! Are you kidding me? Lincoln was the poster-child for the Republican Party in his day and age. The south was full-on Democrat. Lincoln was killed by Democrats because of the war, not some half-baked need to get him out of the way because of reconstruction. This is what liberals do though. When the facts don't support the narrative they like, the try to rewrite the narrative. It wasn't radical right anything! It was the Democrats, just as it has been for just about every political assassination in this country's history, the school shootings, actually all of the mass shootings in our history and mostly all of the mass murders have been Democrats. Yeah, I know Tim McVeigh was put out there as a conservative by the liberals, but he really wasn't. And he didn't really shoot anyone. When there are bodies being laid out and needless deaths in the U.S., it's a virtual certainty that the Democrats and liberals are behind it. Just look at Hillary.........

So do most real journalists like Seymour Hersch and Robert Parry. Unfortunately, journalism in 2016 is mostly just fake news. Real investigative journalists are confined to "alternative" media, which the mainstream media, primary sources of fake news, call "fake news." Imagine that, a real investigative journalist like Robert Parry, who broke the Iran-Contra affair, branded by the Washington Post as "fake news." You can't make this stuff up lol! They must be projecting. What's really happening is that mainstream publications are dying, being primarily staffed by fresh journalism graduates who don't really know what they're doing. The real journalists are gravitating toward alternative media where they are still free to report the truth without corporate censorship. The allure of political influence is too great for the fake journalists to resist, so they no longer care about reporting the truth. That's why they produce fake news, and accuse everyone else of doing the same.

240 lbs for a 5 ft 4 in person is still a very high body mass index of 41.2. According to the National Institute of Health, that is quite obese. A BMI of over 30 is defined to be Obese. She would have to get down to 174 lbs to no longer be considered obese, and become classified as being badly overweight. At 340 lbs, she was at risk of suffering very early disability and even death. She has indeed made great improvement. But this amount of progress will only delay her getting heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and all of the other serious maladies associated with obesity. She might be able to get through her 40's in relatively good heath, but by the time she reaches her 50's, it will catch up with her. She really needs to get down to at the very least 160 lbs, if she wants to have any quality of life when she is older. Let's hope that this trip allows her to do just that. You can calculate your BMI here: http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educational/lose_wt/BMI/bmicalc.htm

Charles, I think it's far too late. If the world stopped burning fossil fuels today, the planet would continue to heat to a catastrophic level, possibly at the expense of most life on Earth. That's no excuse for not trying to do as much as we can, because doing the right thing for its own sake is good enough, and you are correct, it is a moral issue. I've been following this subject for years, and humans have set in motion forces that we will not be able to undo, in the same way that we have no answers for the ongoing Fukushima disaster, which continues to dump 300 to 400 tons of radioactive water into the Pacific every day. In the 60s, when nuclear energy was unleashed on the world, engineers didn't have permanent answers for the radioactive waste. They assured everyone that by the time those spent fuel rods were a problem, engineers would find an answer. They haven't, and spent fuel rods and deteriorating storage is now a multi-thousand year problem. Human hubris is a problem.

When is this going to end? We live in Toronto, for goodness sake! And I say this as a non-white woman. If we want to talk about ending racism and discrimination, can we deal with REAL ISSUES? Like the way the country has historically treated its Indigenous people? Like giving people from disadvantaged communities better access education and healthcare? And focus on socio-economic class rather than JUST ethnicity? I grew up in a comfortable home in the suburbs (and two university degrees to boot) and I DO NOT feel disadvantaged because of my ethnic background. In fact, to say that I'm MORE DISADVANTAGED than a white male high school drop-out who lives under poverty would make ZERO SENSE.

Under the Constitution, health care is a provincial jurisdiction. Harper favoured limiting federal involvement to the prescribed fiscal transfers to the provinces. The provinces have, to varying degrees, "looked the other way" on some clinics because there is a real demand for their services. Rather than exploring how this might best be legitimized and managed, Philpott wants to ensure everyone gets the same inadequate service....the tyranny of the lowest common denominator. It beggars the mind how the Liberals will legalize pot, explore the Portuguese model of legalizing opioids without prescription, yet insist that paying a premium to get required medical treatment sooner is illegal and must be stopped. If that's their idea of leadership on the health care file, I'd just rather they make the fiscal transfers and leave programming up to the provinces.
