From Trump's letter to "Catholic leaders":
"For instance, Hillary Clinton supports forcing The Little Sisters of the Poor who have taken care of the elderly poor since 1839, pay for contraceptives in their health care plan (even though they have never wanted them, never used them and never will), and having the government fine them heavily if they continue to refuse to abide by this onerous mandate."

I don't see the County leasing part of its building to the City (now or in the future) as being a violation of the Skinner deed. Nor would I see the leasing of any of the Skinner donation area to the (now) state court system as being a violation.
But I do see the county moving the Courthouse to the City hall block - outside the donated area - as a violation.
And I do see the County selling the butterfly lot to the City as a violation.
But if the City wants to lease the butterfly from the County, that might fly over the deed.
You should be prepared for the judge to take a very narrow reading of the deed and conclude that so long as the county commissioners retain their offices in the County's Public Service Building - within the donated area - they are in compliance with the deed. | 0 | not toxic |

The companies have four billion bucks or more in a fund to do just what you said, if it goes to heck or TAPS shuts down they are obligated to restore the land and remove the pipe. And the mud blob?.. lots of mud hauling trucks and drivers and equipment operators eager to work to throw that mud over the other side for good. The sky isn`t falling and we have a very conservative investment portfolio from what I have heard. Oil producers are making a nice profit in Alaska at 47 bucks a barrel thank you thanks to BS21,.. unlike many of their outside and foreign projects. The oil producers, like Alaskans, can afford to pitch in, receiving no more subsidies and paying a fair severence tax to help keep the state in a healthy and vibrant balanced-budget place. It`s also a constitutional imperative to tax them to the hilt. | 0 | not toxic |

The Marco Polo fire points out the threat to future public safety and the need for providing gov't subsidies to private condo owners. I mention again, here pointing out the more historic brush fire threats that concern not only future public safety, but also, miles of infrastructure such as roads, power lines, cable lines, water and sewer systems. Isn't this even more compelling circumstance for subsidizing private homeowners for neighborhood and individual home safety improvements? If you're not going to beef up city equipment to reach higher than 10 stories and instead give tax revenues to private condo owners, then forget extra helicopter duty and give the money to private homeowners. | 0 | not toxic |

Perhaps you have not visited the West 11th area recently.

My suggestion is an entirely a viable means to avoid bankruptcy and catastrophe by affordably staying insured until medicare kicks in or changes are made in our national health care, by adjusting that income down by consuming less, saving more (health bank, IRAs, 657c plans etc etc), and giving more through tax deferred financial mechanisms. You are adding information now... no PFD? isn't that included?
Pretty hard and less certainty to snap one's fingers and get a promotion, higher paying job or new job with employer provider benefits which are also a viable solutions as well. Those options weren't mentioned in your original post...certainly better options. I just offered possible solutions to the problem you mentioned.

Congress already said the state's OHA is a "splinter group" and there is no chance for any splinter group morphing into an entity similar to a tribe. The congress is echoing the US Sp Ct ruling in Rice v Cayetano that found the OHA beneficiaries are a racial group, as quote unquote Hawaiians. The DOI already said the native Hawaiians are a tribe. The only way Hawaiians could become part of the native Hawaiians would be through being allowed to enroll in the native Hawaiian tribe. Hawaiians have really reached the end of the road.

Toast. Yes, you have heard people suggest the US shouldn't control their borders. Everyone has heard that from time to time. No, not everyone agrees they should, crazy as that seems. Having said that, a travel ban against countries that cannot or will not control who is coming and going, and countries who have clearly demonstrated they would like to destroy a country like the USA if they could, should be banned from coming into the country that is subject to the hatred. If China said to Canada that we want to destroy you, and are going to do what we can do to this, should Canada allow people from China into our country? The reaction to more controls on the border is immediately met by accusations of racism. If I felt for one minute my government had any interest in stopping queue jumping instead of rushing to Emerson, Manitoba for a selfie, I may think differently. | 0 | not toxic |

"80% of the carbon emissions from gasoline come from making the wheels turn."
Not even close. From well to wheel, maybe 10%, if that. From the energy overhead of exploration to production to refining to transportation to end-use in inefficient small internal combustion engines (where ~75% of the energy is wasted as heat), ending up warming the air, tires and brake rotors, it would be hard to design a less energy efficient way to move people and goods. | 0 | not toxic |

Freedom of speech applies to everyone, not just the speech one doesn't like. While foreign nationals may not have the right to vote, like it or not, they do have the same right to stand on a street corner and espouse their viewpoints.
It has also been decided that purchasing ads is covered by the same freedom.
Sadly, what the people that want to shut down other people offering their opinions are really saying that US citizens are too stupid to make their own decisions. They are attempting this censorship under the guise of protecting simpletons from being influenced to vote a certain way.
It's a very slippery slope to try and draw a line between freedom of speech and influencing others. After all, isn't that what freedom of speech is for?? Whether it is to buy a BMW or vote for Donald Trump, it is still a protected right to be able to publicly state one's opinion. | 0 | not toxic |

People can be moral without religion as much as people can be immoral with it. Religion doesn't dictate morality, but I can see how some use religion to promote it.

I used to do all my shopping at Sobey's in Toronto, but have switched to a Metro nearby.
Here is some free advice to win back customers:
1. The staff seem surely and disengaged and not just at one store but many. That tells me something is wrong with the organizational culture because the fish rots from the head down.
2. Your prices are far too high, full stop.
3. Please stop the practice of Buy 3 and save or Buy 4 and save. This marketing gimmick is just that and once I see that I just keep on walking by.
4. What really drives me crazy, and was the tipping point why I stopped shopping at Sobey's, is when they mark an item on sale rather than just the sale price they put the old price and a fine print that says, "you may save" $2.53. So one never really knows what the sale price is rather you may save this amount which tells me I won't save that amount. Again you are trying to deceive the customer.

Mr. Gyde: This position has been presented on the site by GBA and a few others. Indeed, the leaders (all all participants) in the American Revolution were "traitors"........to England. Let's be clear; had the Revolution failed, the leaders would have been severely punished by the British government. Washinton, for example, rather than being our first President, may well have been hanged as a traitor to the Crown. Leaders of successful revolutions are hailed as heroes and honored by the new nation......they're condemned as traitors by the nation they, indeed, betrayed seeking to form that new nation. It's no surprise that Washington is on the dollar bill and not the pound note.
And let's be clear.........the documented history shows that the statues in question were erected to celebrate the "old south" of slavery and the post-Reconstruction Jim Crow Era in the south. As such they are actually memorials to racism and deserving of removal. Gary Crum

"35 hour week"
They started that in France in 2000.
"The main stated objectives of the law were twofold:
To reduce unemployment and yield a better division of labor, in a context where some people work long hours while some others are unemployed. A 10.2% decrease in the hours extracted from each worker would, theoretically, require firms to hire correspondingly more workers, a remedy for unemployment.
To take advantage of improvements in productivity of modern society to give workers some more personal time to enhance quality of life."
"Critics of the 35-hour working week have argued that it has failed to serve its purpose because an increase in recruitment has not occurred and that the reluctance of firms to take on new workers has instead simply increased per-hour production quotas" | 0 | not toxic |

I agree with Mr Meredith's point. If Kidd accepted responsibility for her actions, then let it go. However, she does not, which only guarantees that her behavior will be appropriate as she sees it in future. Both Mr Collins and Mr Bloor stayed after the meeting was gavelled loudly and repeatedly by Kidd- which is not the same as adjournment- as did most of the city staff and many of us in attendance. I don't see how either can make the statements they're making here, claiming nothing was wrong. Why then were over a hundred people left with our mouths hanging open, asking, "What just happened?" Honestly, we need something to prevent this from ever occurring again, and Mr Meredith's suggestion seems like a very good way for council members to keep proper behavior in mind. | 0 | not toxic |
Well back in the mid 80s I began working for some Iranians who left Iran once the Sha was deposed. THey came over and started a building supply business and I had the pleasure of working for them till 88. An interesting and eclectic group of highly educated people, from fighter pilots, to university professors and the like, now distributing home fixtures.
Their major clients were other Iranian businesspeople, mostly home builders amongst other clients. I ran the wholesale side here in Central Ontario, dealing mostly with the Canadian clients so to speak.
It was apparant that the majority of homes being built were to be flipped. At that time I found that rather strange, being so young and naive. There was apparant greed and of course I ran with the crowd supplying them with all they could get.
When the demand all dried up and i rates start moving.....well lets say there was blood on the street. I was one of a few left unscathed. Lots of empty, upscale homes became spider web infested | 0 | not toxic |
Short note: the worse thing the Church can do is to relegate survivors to a new "advisory" group, or to continue the present group as it is/has been. Sadly, all of the Church's "efforts" in dealings with any and all aspects of the sexual abuse of minors have been complete failures. In fact, the Church makes the situation worse with every attempt that has as its fundamental agenda the protection of bishops, ministers, and popes. I am and have been greatly disappointed in Pope Francis in his continued ineffectiveness on this point. It is best, I believe, to forget the Church doing anything on its own regarding abuse, but that it be forced to do so via every legal action available in every country touched by the Church system. We must fight against the weariness of such efforts, and push for them in honor of all of those who have been harmed as well as our faith in what Jesus taught us about sin. | 0 | not toxic |
You ask the question "where is the rest of the family" but spend not a second considering some likely answers ? I guess you're assuming they just don't care ? It suits you to assume the worst because nothing suits conservatives more than to always assume the poor are poor because of bad decisions or irresponsible behavior - despite overwhelming proof that this is not, almost ever, the case.
Just some of the likely options: they are dead, perhaps the child's mother was just another victim of our high murder-rate, perhaps she died from disease and our inability to provide quality healthcare to all. Perhaps she is in prison for some minor drug offense that harmed nobody else.
You're not witnessing a lack of familial responsibility. The facts we have is proof OF that very responsibility. A grandmother raising her grandchildren despite her own poverty - suggests that there was nobody else to raise them, but she stepped up and is doing so.
