Homeless, rest stops and all the chasing after solutions....is no different then chasing your tail. When oh when will "we" start to tackle actual solutions. Homeless is a temporary state for the functional..days, weeks, months and who are engaged in getting off the street. The challenge is all without "housing" are lumped together - yet the needs are vastly different when approaching the challenge of the chronically homeless. There is no reason to be homeless for "year's" unless impaired by mental illness, addiction or both. Short version..States closed hospitals and programs (which included housing/support) for the mentally ill in the 70's with the plan to shift resources to the local communities. It never happened as promised. Where are the mentally ill now?...on the streets or in local jails, where they go untreated. We and the Nation know it's time to step up and re-engage in funding treatment. It's expensive, it's necessary and at the heart of reducing homelessness. But how?	0	not toxic

The issues are complex only if you wish them to be. On the other hand in my simple mind any art form cannot be apropriated since all are works of the originator's imagination and personal skill. And it may sound crass - but the ultimate judgenment is the "market". If you don't like it don't buy, and vice versa. It has always been thus. As for the specific issue of FN cultural apropriation - any attempt to stifle such merely serve to feed the self inflicted victim culture industry.	0	not toxic
Some Globe readers might be interested in the Manitoba "Mincome" project that ran from 1974 to 1978 - but in this, the year 2017, traditional job prospects are rapidly disappearing. Odd though, that Government bloat and staffing never seems to diminish...it just gets worse, offers very high salaries with little to show for adding value or improvements to the lives of Canadians. The playing field for government jobs may have been, at one time, a fair process...but not anymore...like Union jobs, you have to know someone to get a well paying job in Canada. http://gregorymason.ca/mincome/ As you will read, a major issue of the Mincome program was its complexity and inadequate staff for monitoring / studying the outcomes in order to assess its success or failure. I very much doubt the Wynne or the Federal Government will ever have the ability to think out or assess anything they undertake.	0	not toxic

Take notice: Since she wasn't in some way connected to an alt.right or conservative group the MSM conveniently leaves out her political affiliations and leanings. Her Facebook comments on the Dakota Access Pipeline: "There have been protests for months, at both the drilling site and and outside the White House. I'm losing my mind. If you voted for this piece of sh*t, explain this. He's lying. He's blatantly lying and the second largest supply of freshwater in the country is now at risk. #NoDAPL #NeverMyPresident #Resist" "Her sentiments toward Trump aside, she appears to be a supporter of Bernie Sanders and other progressive icons, such as Bill Maher and Michael Moore. As the Caller's Chuck Ross reports, Reality Winner’s apparent social media footprint also shows that she is a supporter of other liberal causes, including the Women’s March and the Islamic Society of North America, the Muslim civil rights group." She leaked because of her hate for Agent Orange, nothing more.	0	not toxic
A police/surveillance state is the end result of a multicultural society. Social cohesion and trust always erode away.

According to Ken Capes, he needs an extra $200 per paycheck. He certainly could rent a long-term studio for $400/month that is one block from the beach. In fact, Mr. Capes could probably rent it for $800 to $1000 a month long-term. Let's face the facts, if an illegal vacation rental owner is intently breaking the law like Capes, he has no problem lying about his financial situation... Councilmember Joey Manahan was right on the money when he stated "why are all of the vacation rental owners here today who claim they are operating legally objecting to enforcement proposals that only apply to illegal operators, the measures won't apply to them?"	0	not toxic

Sorry, but you still haven't explained how or why he's in her house nor what business he has being there, which isn't his house regardless of how long he may have lived there. (However, it does reveal that you adhere to a worldview that a man's home is his castle, even when it isn't.) If he had to look for his ex, as you suggested, then she did not let him into her home. In your worldview, the ex-wife is by definition vindictive, again lacking any evidence to support it. Also note the phrase “for the purpose of arousing and gratifying (his) sexual desire." You, of course, will dismiss that as hearsay, her word against his -- unless, of course, he were foolish enough to leave a fresh DNA sample at the scene. Do you really believe those words would be in the charging document without evidence to support them? Of course, you do, you being you.	0	not toxic

Pitching is not the issue this season; it wasn't the issue last season. The same issues remain. They include the lack of reliable timely, situational clutch hitting, productive outs that advance runners, less reliance on the homerun and instead more on stringing more hits together more consistently (Read: playing some small ball). The Jacoby/Gibbons combo have yet to prove they have the slightest clue how to correct, nor any intention to correct these shortcomings or change the Jays' boringly predictable approach at the plate with runners on base. But, that's management's problem. Given the extension of Gibbons' contract, don't hold your breath awaiting any expeditious change.	0	not toxic
We all know the narrative is not "privilege" but its "white privilege". While North American lefties bash us over the head on a continual basis with the many obvious harmful shortcomings of our society like being selfish enough to have non-divorced parents and assuming someones gender, the majority of the world is actually getting on with real problems. Highly doubtful a young man in rural China is protesting white privilege because Doug in Kanata got a sweet deal from his friend who works at Best Buy. Privilege exists everywhere, if you really want to address it go work in Manila where people build their squatter houses out of scrap and pick recyclables from mountains of garbage for 100 pesos a day.	0	not toxic

As I have said to you elsewhere, this is not relevant here. This is Canada. Quebec is bound by the Charter. It does not matter how this issue has been ruled on in Belgium. Their courts have no standing here, and no federal court will accept an EU or European statute as having any relevance here. You keep posting this, as if you are truly unaware of what you are suggesting.

Will TSA be evacuating the airport and blowing up un attended luggage for the people using the climbing wall and ZIP line? Maybe these people could use these attractions with their luggage strapped to their back. Imagine the drop off line for ticketing if you cant use the whole curbside area?

Amazing how the trolls try to change the topic of the story to pick on some other group. This story is about taxes. If corporations are profitable only because they are getting a tax break, there are not profitable. Our tax system distorts the free enterprise enough without these types of unfair tax breaks. Taxes are what we pay for civilization but they have to be as fair as possible. Get rid of these tax breaks. I use to work as a corporation and I was happy to take the breaks but they are not fair.

If you want to increase the number of ppl that buy insurance, then by all means, lets: 1) not give free money to everybody to rebuild there. I would have us help with at most 1/3 of the costs, but preferably 1/5 is far more correct. 2) require that those areas put in decent regulations. Houston KNOWS that it is a flood plain and allowed the building of homes in those without requiring any real changes. 3) stop giving them free money to rebuild with. Help them with surviving, but, by giving them 160B to rebuild with, Texas and other red states will continue to skip their part and steal from the feds. As it is, we paid out 120B for katrina, and only 60 B for sandy. Oddly, sandy was a bigger hit, and with more ppl. What was the difference? A lot more ppl in sandy had insurance.	0	not toxic

Mr. Broadbent, unfortunately, you, like many others in this country, were spellbound by an election campaign which talked big on making real, substantive change in Canada all the while designed to, simply put, return the Liberal party to power. After 10 years in the wilderness as a third place party which had been sent packing on the heels of the Adscam debacle, the Liberals could bear it no more that they would not continue to be the "natural governing party" of Canada. To end this losing string they coronated Trudeau when more qualified leaders of the party were available and so began the fraudulent campaign to lure voters away from both the NDP and Conservatives with the wonderful haired Trudeau at the helm. Enough Canadians bought it hook, line and sinker that the Liberals were catapulted to their majority status. And, now, we have what the rest of us who didn't vote Liberal knew all along. A party which cares only about POWER and not about Canada.	0	not toxic

As more and more comes out on all the corruption in Washington DC. I'm afraid this isn't just about the Clinton's. This is what is uniting the democrat and Republican parties, against Trump to keep him out of office at all cost. He has become a independent uncontrollable catalyst willing to expose back door deals. The two parties keep getting rich off and leave office rich. The money going into the pockets most likely is bigger the voters can even phantom. The lobbyist have proven one thing if nothing else.

HB 1595 is an assault on the citizens wishing to participate in their government based on documented fact rather than what is told to the public. There is a difference frequently in what is said verses what is documented. Nobody I have heard is disputing that the abusive request from the data mining companies and robotic request should be addressed and limited but this bill goes much further. This bill is a windfall for any city or county wishing to avoid transparency. Watch how much less is publicly posted for review and how much more the billing becomes the new means of obstruction.	0	not toxic
You're kinda out of your league here, Chief. I just alluded to a couple of really important statements on this very issue, the meaning of "nature" amid the coming of the Anthropocene.

Jimbo5 - Economic Development Canada is not run by the PM. It is an arms length organization (or at least that's what they say), who never make decisions that represent Canadians, or Canadian taxpayers.

And to add to this... if you want to rent from these foreign investors, you better have a PERFECT credit rating with NOTHING on you credit card or they won't rent to you.

Yes, I have an idea. Instead of focusing all of this attention to an inanimate object, a gun. lets focus some energy on attitude adjustments ? Having people running around wearing and promoting T shirts that read "Thug Life" is about attitude. Should we have any respect for a person deliberately promotes and glorifies living as a Thug ? Ok, so he is not carrying a gun, but his attitude remains. Maybe he will beat up some old woman in a grocery store and put her in a choke hold. Oh, wait. that recently happened didn't it ? Did those wonderful children have any guns ??? No ? How will ALL of your gun control prevent that from happening ? Interesting. Do all of you feel safer with those 3 and the fact that they do not have guns ? Did that stop their beating up an older woman ? Stop the stupidity of "gun control" and lets start focusing on attitude adjustment. And you can start with treating people with respect, including respecting the homeless.	0	not toxic

He wags a judgmental finger over Texas not having built a huge retaining wall at the ocean's edge? Wow. Brilliant analysis. Hello? Houston has problems because the clouds, up above, in the sky, have dumped almost five feet of rain water over the course of about a day. Repeat, that is fresh water falling from the sky, not rising saltwater tides creeping up from Galveston. So, um, the purpose of that coveted big wall by the ocean's edge, that would be what, to ensure Houston remains a swimming pool as long as possible, a nice big swimming pool wall to its southeast keeping the water back in the city?

Senator Murkowski ought to assume that at least half the population of this state (the less deplorable half) is in complete agreement with what Avellaneda-Cruz says here.

There is a lot we could learn from other countries but won't because we're stuck on punishment. I'm wondering how good ole' Putrumpski is going to "Make America Great" by locking up even more people in prison. Is he going for the all time, biggest world record of number of incarcerated American citizens? I mean, we're already number one in numbers of people incarcerated, for the longest sentences at the fastest rate of any country in the world. Seems to me that America must be the most criminal, law breaking, dishonest country of all with 25% of the populous locked up, and it's had that dubious distinction for many, many years. Then there's Alaska, with it's high recidivism rate, despite all the years we keep people locked up. Hmmmmm. I wonder why? Could it be that we've been doing it wrong?

Homeless, rest stops and all the chasing after solutions....is no different then chasing your tail. When oh when will "we" start to tackle actual solutions. Homeless is a temporary state for the functional..days, weeks, months and who are engaged in getting off the street. The challenge is all without "housing" are lumped together - yet the needs are vastly different when approaching the challenge of the chronically homeless. There is no reason to be homeless for "year's" unless impaired by mental illness, addiction or both. Short version..States closed hospitals and programs (which included housing/support) for the mentally ill in the 70's with the plan to shift resources to the local communities. It never happened as promised. Where are the mentally ill now?...on the streets or in local jails, where they go untreated. We and the Nation know it's time to step up and re-engage in funding treatment. It's expensive, it's necessary and at the heart of reducing homelessness. But how?

The issues are complex only if you wish them to be. On the other hand in my simple mind any art form cannot be apropriated since all are works of the originator's imagination and personal skill. And it may sound crass - but the ultimate judgenment is the "market". If you don't like it don't buy, and vice versa. It has always been thus. As for the specific issue of FN cultural apropriation - any attempt to stifle such merely serve to feed the self inflicted victim culture industry.

Some Globe readers might be interested in the Manitoba "Mincome" project that ran from 1974 to 1978 - but in this, the year 2017, traditional job prospects are rapidly disappearing. Odd though, that Government bloat and staffing never seems to diminish...it just gets worse, offers very high salaries with little to show for adding value or improvements to the lives of Canadians. The playing field for government jobs may have been, at one time, a fair process...but not anymore...like Union jobs, you have to know someone to get a well paying job in Canada. http://gregorymason.ca/mincome/ As you will read, a major issue of the Mincome program was its complexity and inadequate staff for monitoring / studying the outcomes in order to assess its success or failure. I very much doubt the Wynne or the Federal Government will ever have the ability to think out or assess anything they undertake.

Houston KNOWS that it is a flood plain and allowed the building of homes in those without requiring any real changes. 3) stop giving them free money to rebuild with. Help them with surviving, but, by giving them 160B to rebuild with, Texas and other red states will continue to skip their part and steal from the feds.

Mr. Broadbent, unfortunately, you, like many others in this country, were spellbound by an election campaign which talked big on making real, substantive change in Canada all the while designed to, simply put, return the Liberal party to power. After 10 years in the wilderness as a third place party which had been sent packing on the heels of the Adscam debacle, the Liberals could bear it no more that they would not continue to be the "natural governing party" of Canada. To end this losing string they coronated Trudeau when more qualified leaders of the party were available and so began the fraudulent campaign to lure voters away from both the NDP and Conservatives with the wonderful haired Trudeau at the helm. Enough Canadians bought it hook, line and sinker that the Liberals were catapulted to their majority status. And, now, we have what the rest of us who didn't vote Liberal knew all along.

If you compile all the known facts you get this massive ooze of illegal sleeze from the Obama/Hillary Democratic Party. From tarmac meetings, bleached emails, private servers, wiretapping, unmasking, immunity to all from the FBI, "no intent" in Hillary investigation from Comey rather than a grand jury, call the Hillary investigation "a matter" from Lynch, forwarding debate questions to Hillary, collusion against Bernie, wikileaks emails, DNC servers never checked by FBI.....the list is endless. I would hazard a guess this whole racket was/is orchestrated by the Dems and very very powerful accomplices.

There is no solution, because denying the conspiracy is also part of the conspiracy. No one likes their little conspiracy dreams to be shattered.

And most of the GOP who support DACA also support increased border security and finally taking operation control of our borders. There are many aspects involved in taking operational control, and unless the Democrats agree to finance and support many of those aspects than I say send each and every individual in DACA back to their country of origin.

I am really sorry Frank but you are sadly misinformed. Fascism was and is a left wing ideology.

Good for the Liberals. It was the height of government double talk to call a bill that actually restricts voting privileges The Fair Elections Act.

To start with, anyone who starts out with childish name calling has no credibility. Also, who's talking about popular votes vs electoral votes? This has nothing to do with the election. The majority means the greater NUMBER of people. Feel free to look up the definition of majority.
