"Harper inherited surpluses and created his very own structural deficits" Chris, why do you lie so much? You have been caught with your pants down SO many times, you are in danger of being arrested for public indecency. We know you hate Harper, but he didn't create a structural deficit; the only two PM's in Canada's Post war history to do that are PET and his son. Bill Morneau himself has said he inherited a surplus and the Liberals turned it into a structural deficit. Your hypocrisy and mendacity are truly Trumpian	1	toxic

Seriously, Rachael, I totally agree with you. Let's talk about the economy, providing jobs to American Workers, and help make our own US Citizens be healthy and prosperous. But these few radical women would rather wear their pussyies on their heads and protest instead of doing the real work like finding solutions, volunteering in their community, working for a living on a budget, and expecting everyone to pay their own fair share. Let's unite as country and respect that millions of Americans voted for President Trump. Will you fight to silence my vote? Seems like small children who didn't get there way. I am a proud women who voted for Donald Trump!	0	not toxic
Hey, Mister Toronto Globe and Mail, just a few weeks before the election, corporate media were ridiculing Mr. Trump when he warned the elections (both the general election and the Republican Primaries) were fixed against him. President B.O. came out and dismissed any idea that American elections were anything but open and honest. It was impossible to tamper with them. Remember how shocked, SHOCKED everybody was at the last debate when Mr. Trump did not say he would fully respect the election results until he could verify their legitimacy? You people do realize that Nineteen Eighty Four was not written as an instruction manual. Don't you? And, by the way, this whole "Russian Hacking" narrative is as fake as the news you reported about babies and incubators 25 years ago. And Saddam's Nukular Bombs 15 years ago. And that is why you are a failing enterprise with no end to layoffs in sight.	0	not toxic

It's much easier to tear down monuments to dead white supremacists than it is to confront the live, systemic white supremacism that still structures American life. It also needs to be said that the Confederate monuments had another reason for existence besides supposedly commemorating "heroes" of the Civil War; they are icons of the political and social order of the Jim Crow post-Civil War South. In other words, those statues commemorate the birth of white supremacism as a living principle of American life, a principle that still shapes our society. Taking down those monuments will not negate this principle, especially when you consider how frequently the GOP has appealed to it since 1964. With all that said, the monuments still need to come down. Their continued existence poses a threat to public safety. Charlottesville shows how dire this threat actually is.	1	toxic

The "deprivation" of the identity of the Québécois Nation Anglo na-na-da is an "expert" in the field. Is it not what the Anglo Canada has done with the "deprivation" of First Nations Cultures?

Justin Trudeau, and therefore the Liberals, gained great international and domestic praise and notoriety during their first months in office for the dramatic and youthful flare (in growing contrast to other quarters) but this created expectations that could not be realized. Unfortunately, Trudeau appeared to relish his notoriety (and appear too needy) a bit too much too often and this coupled with the natural difficulties of governing a complex country like Canada and the difficulties of our times generally make Trudeau and the Liberals vulnerable to a negative recoil from earlier, perhaps excessive, expectations and premature praise. As this reaction began, Trudeau made the tactical mistake of going into non-stop campaign mode when the appearance of working hard in Ottawa might have served him and his Party better. Trudeau & the Liberals are not in serious trouble politically or in terms of social policy but they need to rethink their public presentation to remain really effective.	0	not toxic

Poor washed up old public radio guy off to Martha's Vineyard for the summer. Got rich selling programming to the non profit PBS. And never ventured out of his cloistered element except to move to Denmark once, and he never quite fit in. Danes that didn't fit in moved to Utah and joined the LDS church. Like for Keillor, the "Lute'tren" church was mentally challenging and the state religion. There, and in the rural upper midwest. Keillor is a Lute'tren refugee. He should paddle a rubber raft down the Mississippi and get a taste of the other options for eternity. I saw him one night, in the Owl Tavern in Livingston, MT., and he with his red glasses, red shoes, goofy sport coat, all gangly and awkward looking, sat in a chair on the path the rest rooms and nursed a drink and never talked to one person.

Clearly you may not have had the opportunity to read Konrad's writings before. Just because a new religion is formed, and have agitation to match, it does not mean that its adherents are entitled for right to self determination. A people is defined differently. Jagmeet comes out as a person long on leadership desires with skills and short on substance. Quebecois are defining themselves correctly and by trial and error referenda. The rest of Canada will catch up eventually. Jagmeet cannot be a socially progressive person if he condones the practice of women to be kept in shadows in CANADA for child bearing purposes and not socially contributing as scientists, engineers, etc. A terrible waste of human resources for the good of the country. A critical look at a leader is paramount, the heritage of that person is irrelevant. A similar analysis will be required if that person, say, is of Irish heritage and IRA related issues are raised with him.	0	not toxic

Like most other pampered asses in government, princess Lisa graduated from private school before heading off for her richie-rich college education at Georgetown.

I left a similar coment on another one gro article. I am a long time creswell resident. I smoke marijauna and buy cannabis from dispensaries. I am against big buisness in creswell. To come into a town that voted down dispensaries and push voters into a turnabout is unbecoming of a community buisness. To come into a town that voted down dispensaries and push the "cannabis empire" idea just shows how disconected with creswellians these folks truly are. Cannabis or not, a buisness with these types of practices and attitudes towards citezens does belongin creswell. Why not another cannabis buisness? Any other dispensary would generate the revenue. Ahhh. Because one gro has writen the measure to exclude other dispensaries. The proposal for how a dispensaries are regulated should not be writen by a dispensary. What a joke! Vote No!

I knew Law when he was bishop of Springfield-Cape Girardeau and we both left the area when he moved on up to east side ;-) I met him many many times and always liked him then. He was nowhere near the right winger that he later became. The only thing he was hard line about was abortion, even then it was only through his letters in the diocesan newspaper. But then, southern Missouri wasn't exactly a hotbed of abortion clinics. It was only years later that I learned he was covering up and moving around abusing priests in Missouri, too. One of which was an associate in my parish there. When all the stuff in Boston started coming out, I was shocked, as that was not the Law I had known. By this time he had been in Boston for a long time and JPII the great enabler was pope and the church had changed a lot for the worse. Now it no longer surprises me.

Most were not disputed; some were, in fact, acknowledged. The hacked emails were also not nefarious or treasonous or illegal - they were embarrassing to the sender because they contained comments that would have been said differently - or not at all - for public consumption.

Oh yeah... election desperation. The NDP should promise to fund MSP from general revenues starting the day after being elected.

My wife and I have often talked about how, both of us being raised from infancy in Adventist churches and attending Adventist schools, and then a lifetime pastoring churches, we really have no friends and few acquaintances who aren't Seventh-day Adventists. It's not because of any fear of them, but because we are socially immersed in the church. Thank you, Winona, for talking about this!

Not true. People that are for electoral reform do not change their minds about this fundamental position when a politician they like wins. Sure some will but not most of us.

Justin Trudeau, and therefore the Liberals, gained great international and domestic praise and notoriety during their first months in office for the dramatic and youthful flare (in growing contrast to other quarters) but this created expectations that could not be realized. Unfortunately, Trudeau appeared to relish his notoriety (and appear too needy) a bit too much too often and this coupled with the natural difficulties of governing a complex country like Canada and the difficulties of our times generally make Trudeau and the Liberals vulnerable to a negative recoil from earlier, perhaps excessive, expectations and premature praise. As this reaction began, Trudeau made the tactical mistake of going into non-stop campaign mode when the appearance of working hard in Ottawa might have served him and his Party better. Trudeau & the Liberals are not in serious trouble politically or in terms of social policy but they need to rethink their public presentation to remain really effective.

I completely agree with the sentiment. At some point US citizens need to put down the weapons long enough to listen objectively to what others say. We need that in our community, state, nation.

Poor washed up old public radio guy off to Martha's Vineyard for the summer. Got rich selling programming to the non profit PBS. And never ventured out of his cloistered element except to move to Denmark once, and he never quite fit in. Danes that didn't fit in moved to Utah and joined the LDS church. Like for Keillor, the "Lute'tren" church was mentally challenging and the state religion. There, and in the rural upper midwest. Keillor is a Lute'tren refugee. He should paddle a rubber raft down the Mississippi and get a taste of the other options for eternity. I saw him one night, in the Owl Tavern in Livingston, MT., and he with his red glasses, red shoes, goofy sport coat, all gangly and awkward looking, sat in a chair on the path the rest rooms and nursed a drink and never talked to one person.

Clearly you may not have had the opportunity to read Konrad's writings before. Just because a new religion is formed, and have agitation to match, it does not mean that its adherents are entitled for right to self determination. A people is defined differently. Jagmeet comes out as a person long on leadership desires with skills and short on substance. Quebecois are defining themselves correctly and by trial and error referenda. The rest of Canada will catch up eventually. Jagmeet cannot be a socially progressive person if he condones the practice of women to be kept in shadows in CANADA for child bearing purposes and not socially contributing as scientists, engineers, etc. A terrible waste of human resources for the good of the country. A critical look at a leader is paramount, the heritage of that person is irrelevant. A similar analysis will be required if that person, say, is of Irish heritage and IRA related issues are raised with him.

People like her should be aware of the advantages they had, being privately schooled, instead of being thrown in to the sh*t pit of public school. It made her whole life possible. With a straight face she would deny the advantage to the masses with lesser means. If public school is so great then why have so many politicians and people of prominence never attended? or having their children attend?

I left a similar coment on another one gro article. I am a long time creswell resident. I smoke marijauna and buy cannabis from dispensaries. I am against big buisness in creswell. To come into a town that voted down dispensaries and push voters into a turnabout is unbecoming of a community buisness. To come into a town that voted down dispensaries and push the "cannabis empire" idea just shows how disconected with creswellians these folks truly are. Cannabis or not, a buisness with these types of practices and attitudes towards citezens does belongin creswell. Why not another cannabis buisness? Any other dispensary would generate the revenue. Ahhh. Because one gro has writen the measure to exclude other dispensaries. The proposal for how a dispensaries are regulated should not be writen by a dispensary. What a joke! Vote No! At the very least, allow for a new proposal. I will be joining Frank1 in saying no to One Gro, and encourage others to do the same.

I knew Law when he was bishop of Springfield-Cape Girardeau and we both left the area when he moved on up to east side ;-) I met him many many times and always liked him then. He was nowhere near the right winger that he later became. The only thing he was hard line about was abortion, even then it was only through his letters in the diocesan newspaper. But then, southern Missouri wasn't exactly a hotbed of abortion clinics. It was only years later that I learned he was covering up and moving around abusing priests in Missouri, too. One of which was an associate in my parish there. When all the stuff in Boston started coming out, I was shocked, as that was not the Law I had known. By this time he had been in Boston for a long time and JPII the great enabler was pope and the church had changed a lot for the worse. Now it no longer surprises me. I often wonder what I would say if I ever met the man again.

Most were not disputed; some were, in fact, acknowledged. The hacked emails were also not nefarious or treasonous or illegal - they were embarrassing to the sender because they contained comments that would have been said differently - or not at all - for public consumption. And if you're honest, you'll admit that this is not only common, it is ubiquitous. There have been a number of news reports that GOP emails were also hacked, yet no content released. I find it extremely difficult to believe that there was nothing likewise embarrassing found in those hacked emails. WikiLeaks only chose to release those of Democrats.
