OrsonW Your post is misleading. Mexico's total number of murders may be the second highest in the world, but expressed as the standard 'per 100,000' it is far from second. Yes, the Reuters report said population numbers for countries 'in armed conflict lack reliable population data', but Mexico's 'drug war' is not like Syria's conflict. Population data for Mexico will be reliable. Mexico's 'intentional homicide' rate is 15.7 per 100,000. In comparison here are some other numbers; Belize 34.4 US Virgin Islands 52.6 Puerto Rico 18.5 Saint Kitts and Nevis 33.6 Saint Lucia 21.6 Jamaica 36.1 Bahamas 29.8 and one of my favorite places Cuba 4.2 I was in Mexico just before Christmas and never once felt in danger. When traveling anywhere common sense has to prevail. Yes, Mexico has a drug 'war' going on, but this is occurring only in certain areas of the country. These areas are well known, avoid them.

The scariest thing about Trump making military decisions is this: Trump is like a scared, emotionally needy little boy. As we have all observed, he whines and obsesses over every criticism and strikes back with his foolish tweets and childish insults. This "boy-man" is always making decisions from a place of fear and insecurity. Life and death decisions should never be made by someone who is more worried about his macho reputation than human lives. America has elected a childish, ignorant, overindulged twit to make life and death decisions! Trump is hardly better than that murderous little dictator from North Korea! Is America now just as much a danger to life on this planet as North Korea? YES!

I wish Trudeau would tackle the real problems of this country (government budget deficits) and I wish the Globe would feature more articles on government spending; ask some tough questions and remind the government that ordinary working Canadians exist and we as tax payers have limits and we need attention occasionally. I support charities, I try to correct injustice if it's within my ability to do so. But every day I get up and face the real world of earning sufficient income to care for my family. Trudeau speaks as if he is the head of state of a rich nation, with unlimited resources, intent on correcting every injustice in Canada and stepping in when the US falters in its social duties. He may or may not be popular and I won't join in that argument. He's been elected and now he has a responsibility to all Canadians and that includes the working poor and the struggling middle class. Every time he makes another speech I feel the government's hand reaching in my wallet.

Peter: I present "if no had guns, we'd all be far safer"....as one extreme of the discussion re: gun control. The inverse would be "if we all carried guns, we'd all be safer." There are folks who believe one or the other of those extreme positions. I'm not sure that "no guns" wouold necessarily lead to anarchy transitioning to rule by physical strength. All of history has seen the advance of weapons in the quest for dominance by force. I would suggest the ongoing development of firearmsk and advanc ed weapons has been a integral part of that quest. There exist communities with virtually no firearms and they do not, ipso facto, disintegrate into chaos. Gary Crum

If these tax changes were actually about making the system fair then everything would be on the table. From the capital gains made when selling your principal residence, to trust fund accounts to taxable deductions for charities, union dues, etc., to the tax free benefits of MP's, MPP's, and municipal councilors and mayors and everything else in between would all be looked at with an eye of how much does it cost and ultimately save the taxpayers.

Part 1 So assembly-line thinking by all, and observance of Christianity/Catholicism only one way IS how God wants us to operate? NO, NOT EVER! The issues that shocked Luther were major scandals in the Church. It began when indulgences were SOLD to the people of Germany. This was because Pope Leo X [a Medici] didn't have enough money to build the current St. Peter's Basilica. Leo didn't know how to handle money. BUT he was clever enough to look up somebody else who couldn't handle money either. He looked at wealthy Germany and found Archbishop Albert of Brandenburg [who was also a poor steward of money]. Albert was in arrears on his financial obligations to Rome. Leo proposed a deal. He authorized a campaign in Albert's diocese to grant plenary indulgences. For purchasing indulgences, Catholics would be promised in a papal document that all of their sins would be forgiven and all time in purgatory for those sins would be remitted.

(The votes that actually got counted, that is.) A lot of people don't care much about ethics and even preserving our democracy, but that's okay. Bernie's policies woke everyone up, and made the majority of Americans feel seen and heard. The issues that are of critical importance, were defined. You played an important part. You even tried to tell the DNC and Hillary to get on the level! To stop being crooked, and insincere.

I have physical evidence of the long-term ill-effects of fluoridation. I'd like to speak at the next designated council meeting. I religiously took fluoride pills when I was a child, used fluoride products and had bi-annual fluoride polishing. I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism with a large goiter when I was 13 years old. 1/2 my thyroid was removed. At 27 years old I was diagnosed with policystic ovarian syndrome. At 34 years old I was diagnosed with ER and PR + infiltrative Ductal carcinoma (hormone driven breast cancer). The facts have been around for centuries that fluoride disrupts endocrine system function. My surgeon (when I was 13 years old) said he had 7 other patients with the exact same disease from the same area in the state. AND I have 1-3 surfaces filled in 16 of my teeth from tooth decay. WHAT is the benefit of fluoride again?

Kizla makes associations with no correlation. Manning took a pay cut because his skills were declining and he wanted to go out with a Super Bowl win. Phillips went out because of contract terms - better deal with the Rams. Siemian got hurt because he got no protection (though injuries can happen to even the best protected quarterback but last year the entire backfield got hurt) and Lynch is chasing squirrels and needs to get his head out of the clouds when it may be he needs more time or is just not up to being a NFL quarterback. Siemians stats are good for a first year quarterback - better than Mannings in his first year. It may be Lynch takes over but it won't be because Elway or Joseph are listening to Kizla. I suspect if Siemian remains healthy he will be surprising. He doesn't seem to get rattled by anything and he is smart - smarter than most of the quarterbacks in the league. Fortunately for Bronco fans, Elway and Joseph know more football than either Kizla or I do.
