The Executive Order issuing the temporary travel ban also provided the method to review the Visa Program. The District Court issued a legal order prohibiting implementation of the EO, including review of the Visa Program.
The Government asked the District Court to allow the Visa review while disallowing the travel ban. The DIstrict Court turned down the request. According to the AP, "The Justice Department also argues the Hawaii ruling shouldn’t block Trump’s order that security officials review whether other countries are providing enough information to ensure would-be immigrants aren’t a security threat."

First they slip a whole new level on the building at the last minute
Just a few million more
Now these so self important council idiots want special office space along with just a few million more and look behind a locked doors even
Then they could all take naps in peace discuses their little secret plans and refine their grand monument to them selves
Tax payers should ask why Eugene needs a fancy 100 million dollar building with all the fancy trim add it up 285 million for a new county courthouse what was it 300 million for the federal courthouse 100 million for ltd's scam on west 11th. But those are paid by state and fed money
But think it through where does that money come from. It comes from your taxes if you need help figuring it out
600 million out of peoples pay check so a bunch of self important bureaucrats can impress other self important bureaucrats and win awards
It's a place to do a job not a resort

It is a bit late to change careers now just because the federal government decided to significantly change the rules. We will just have to see the provincial governments at the bargaining table. See what taxpayers think of that then. If compensation is not going to even come near what the US is offering, expect some doctors to leave. Replacing them will be harder too, since the US is gaining significant recruiting advantages with our tax changes stacking up against US tax policies. | 0 | not toxic |

Sigh. More attacks, more threats, and now attempting to troll for personal data? That is disturbing. Perhaps when you contact CC you can explain why you are asking other posters how old they are. Looking at this thread, I don't see any posting made by you that addressed the article. In fact, no substance whatsoever. One must wonder if there is a reason to this: does the poster hope to deflect interest from the article's premise that the abuse scandal has its roots in a dysfunctional clerical culture? The Church, doing God's work by protecting itself from Scandal, often employed the tactic of Deflection when evidence of clerical child abuse surfaced. | 0 | not toxic |

Denny,

The fallacy you firmly put forth has been debunked for decades, the tropes Rush and Beck have been harping on for years are BS. Ayn Rand was a novelist, not a political scientist.

Nothing more than lazy leadership and lazy citizenship. Generally speaking, the primary role of government is to organize the services it makes no sense for the individual to provide for themselves (roads, schools, law enforcement, emergency services, ect.). These services cost money. Consider Anchorage's roads. They are a wreck -- not to mention the sidewalks (when you can find them). Not repairing the roads costs every driver money in increased auto maintenance & damage to delivery vehicles -- the cost of which is passed on to the consumer. Lack of sidewalks increases pedestrian/auto interactions (EMS & police costs, healthcare, ect). There are no free lunches. As a politician, it is your moral obligation to spend taxpayer money wisely, listen to your constituents, and be a leader working for a better society. As a citizen, it is your obligation to pay taxes, & keep politicians honest through involvement (& quit expecting free stuff in the form of public infrastructure & services). | 0 | not toxic |

Mililani Mauka Elementary, 1st grade take home sheet. It was diagrams of scales (fulcrum type). The math part was simple addition and subtraction using boxes weighing down one side and less boxes on the other. The question was, "How many boxes do you need to take away from the side w/ too much, and give it to the side w/ less so that the scale can reach equality?" When I first read it, I was like, "NO way." 1st grade and they're already teaching them the buzzwords and the mentality to go with it so that later in life it'll be a shrug your shoulders and say, "So. Equality is good." They don't use normal words like minus, add, subtract, etc. They use "take away", "give to" like that. Another one was basic intro to multiplication. They used the words, "cause an increase", and "propagate". How many first graders use propogate? I know its vocab, but it was for math. I asked my friend's daughter if she knew the meaning and she said, "Yeah, like leaves and babies." WhaaaTT?!? | 0 | not toxic |
So basically you are recommending that we copy a corporate tax policy more akin to that of the U.S.?
The corporate tax rate in the U.S. is, on average, about 39.5%. However they have a very large number of credits, grants and special exemptions for "job creators", and as a result they gather less corporate tax revenue (relative to GDP) than Canada or many other developed countries with far lower corporate tax rates.
This is in direct contrast to the approach taken by the likes of Sweden, Finland, Denmark, etc. | 0 | not toxic |

the money that the TOP billion pay is a lot. However, raising it on them will not bring in that much money. What is needed is for ALL OF US that are above poverty, to pay taxes.
Now, am I suggesting that the wealthy should get tax cuts or not pay taxes? Nope.
Im suggesting that EVERYBODY should pay a FAIR TAX.
A fair tax is one in which EVERYBODY that makes 100K, no matter how, pays the same tax.
No deductions, no breaks, no exemptions.
Just a simple low tax.
Keep it progressive.
Start it at 1% on everything about 30K (or whatever is livable money). Then cap it at say 25%. It could go up as high as 30%, but I think that 25% is probably a decent compromise. | 0 | not toxic |

It's only one poll people will say, so not to worry. Except the people of Canada who are always touted as being law abiding and fair, do not see any fairness or respect for law, with those coming into Canada illegally. The number of Mexicans entering Canada in 2017 now that the visa has been scrapped, is higher then all of last year. The illegals coming in are rising weekly as the weather gets warmer, and it is expected to get worse. So yes it is one poll, but Canadians are concerned, and expect the government to act, not pretend that there is nothing to see here. | 0 | not toxic |

You suffer from confirmation bias also called confirmatory bias or “myside” bias, is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms one's preexisting beliefs or hypotheses.

"The Globe and Mail’s investigative series Unfounded offers an unprecedented opportunity for change at the level of police investigations of sexual assault."
Yes, that certainly seems to be the motivation. Too bad they didn't do the follow-up to compare conviction rates that would have given some logical rigour to the information about the ratio determined to be unfounded. Had they done that, a clear basis to demand change might have been established. As it is, the half-measure approach feeds rhetoric, but not change. | 0 | not toxic |
