Maybe, by chance you might learn something of value and of use to you. I can and will respond in kind for whatever is tossed my way. HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! You're really funny!!!!!

The 325k number reflects those travelers entering from one of the 7 countries covered by the temporary ban on the day that the EO was issued; the as of date. They got that data from the flight manifests. The 109 number reflects those person(s) whose visa data was inadequate/insufficient/questionable. So say your visa expired on a Monday, but you were traveling on Tues. the next day. Your visa is expired and would come up on the TSA/State scrub list. If that particular person had requested an extension (prior to travel, e.g. a student going home then coming back to resume classes, which would automatically trigger a "hold" during the duration of their absence from US soil, and they were awaiting a response from USG) and approval was pending then they could be delayed, vetted, then released through Customs/Immigration checkpoint at port of entry. ON THE FIRST DAY there were 109 events, out of 325k that were on flights or going to be on flights to enter US.

Let's see: one traveler who was denied entry was found in a picture with a jihadi - no brainer. CSIS should keep watch on him. Another one was a drug dealer many years ago. Got a pardon. Maybe the border agents found traces of drugs or some other indication he was back in the trade. We don't trust authorities a lot, but between a border officer and a convicted drug dealer I trust the border guy. Third traveler is the well known young Montrealer. Ofcourse, Globe conveniently leaves out the fact that she was denied entry in December and attempted crossing again without clarifying her situation (her family situation seems to make the border officers doubt her status as visitor). Based on these examples we can conclude it is business as usual at the border.

These days your not even allowed to say "under God" if you say the pledge of allegiance. However, you CAN carry around the Koran.

Talk about missing the point. If it is true, as reported in Military Times, that a "2016 study by the Rand Corporation found the maximum annual medical costs for transgender services would be around $8.4 million. By comparison, the military spent $84 million on erectile dysfunction medications such as Viagra and Cialis in 2014." This transgender issue is yet another example of top level obfuscation and distraction. Nice try, Mr. President. Decerning people will conclude that the REAL story is the fact that thousands of military personnel are so anxiety-ridden/worried/stressed that they are rendered impotent.

Following the “imperialist” scheme by which Lord Carnarvon had brought about Confederation in Canada through the 1867 British North America Act, it was thought that a similar plan might succeed in South Africa and in 1877 Sir Henry Bartle Frere was appointed as High Commissioner for Southern Africa to instigate the scheme. Some of the obstacles to such a plan were the presence of the independent states of the South African Republic and the Kingdom of Zululand, both of which the British Empire would attempt to overcome...by force of arms (Google) Got it Anglo Canada ?...”by Force of Arms” just like they did in Canada see onyYouTube= Zulu War Chant

I've heard from single seniors who think it unfair to pay more than marrieds on this. Assuming you take in $4k/month in retirement (which is pretty good for most!) you'd pay $617/yr.[see the chart embedded in the article for rates/income]. That's less than one PFD check. If you made less than $40k/yr. you'd pay a mere $117 in taxes. I'm assuming, as was true when we used to have a state income tax, that this new one would be deductible from your Fed. income taxes. This does not seem like a huge burden to me. If you're over 65 you are already getting a major property tax break on the first $150k of your home. Our health insurance Medicare monthly premiums are $134. Maybe twice that if you add on supplemental care. Still a helluva deal if you were fortunate enough to bring in $4k a month in retirement. Public safety, education pegged to the future workforce, etc..So, what do you want to cut? Be specific.

Good editorial. But too kind. I played hockey all my life and know full well that the coach told his players to pummel Crosby, to take him out of the play - he didn't have to be too specific - and that's exactly what they did. Washington is absolutely desperate to win a cup. Ovechkin's slash - Ovechkin is a kit and run artist - was purposeful as was Nishkanen's cross check. You can see his arms go forward just before the hit. It's quick and deadly. Players at that level know how to absorb a collision. Nishkanen chose not to. As one doctor noted in a documentary on concussions, the brain never heals, it just adjusts. but sooner or later all concussed players pay the price. Crosby should quit the game. It's not worth it. I would not want my son to play hockey. It's a beautiful game when played by the rules. But the National Goon League has dumped it in the gutter. Seems money always destroys the good.

In this conversation geared to "the self-employed and part-time" worker, the part-time worker disappeared from the conversation rather quickly and most of the advise is useless to that employment category. And the rest is mostly useful to the highly skilled self-employed contractor as those forced into it through labour market weakness and uncertainty are often lacking in the financial literacy required to understand the big picture. In our current "pro business" world view, people are indeed human resources. Just ask those commentators that use leftie, socialist and pathetic in most of their conversations.

There is no evidence to offer, purely his opinion. Sorry if you don't know the difference between lies & opinion. Why do claims need to supported by evidence, there is no law that says this. You just angry demanding things that apply in your head. Global warming is not a fact, but you cannot prove it. Could be earth cycles that happen no matter what you just don't know. Trump can claim anything he wants & there is nothing you can do about it. He does not have to provide evidence for anything. He is putting a alternate idea out there which could be true or not. It is not a hoax or lie. It is probable and he mentioned it. If you can prove otherwise then go ahead. Your whole argument is not base on reality. Trump admitted the Russians probably hacked them. No one can say for sure they had any influence over the election which is the opinion of the opposite side. They are not lying either. I am not a Trump supporter but you make no logical sense.

You have people from all over the country and all over the world who consider living in TO necessary to the Canadian Dream they have envisioned for themselves. It has become a massive funnel of capital and talent, hoarding more than its fair share in a country that is incredibly lopsided in terms of urban development. It's a city of hot tickets that go to the highest bidder, and is tucked against a lake (only making the problem worse).

This started when Bush and Obama decided to destroy countries, esp. Iraq, Libya and Syria. That created and fueled ISIS and other Islamist terrorists. Then, certain countries have been nurturing Islamist terrorism for their own ends, including regime changes. This has resulted in the deaths of hundreds-of-thousands, mostly Muslims, millions of migrants/refugees, an increase in Islamist extremism, destabilizing many countries, including western countries, resulting in the rise of the anti-immigration, anti-Islamization parties in Europe, Brexit, and Trump.

Why we're these officials ousted? Pre-textual firings are routine in Oregon, by a corrupt state government. If Richardson is serious about cleaning up the crime and malfeance in Salem, then having people with first hand experience and a desire for revenge might just be the ticket. The moribund federal investigations of state officials is about to be restarted. Brown, Employment, BOLI and Avakian, and ODOJ - especially the Fusion program - all abused to retaliate against whistleblowers, perjury by state officials, and going to require unraveling. Some state-federal cooperative programs will be ended and some state officials are going to end up in federal prisons. This seems to be a typical defamation by the state crime machine.

As of now about 25% of the global population is Muslim and it's expected that Muslims will outnumber Christians (30%) by 2050. Instead of trying to establish a "caliphate", a cynic could look at ISIS through another lens. Muslim extremists have ALWAYS trumpeted their quest for complete, global domination - and have also stated that it may take 100 years. What if the INTENT of ISIS was to instigate a mass exodus to allow the infiltration of like-minded Muslims (not necessarily terrorists or extremists) into Western and vulnerable countries? Looking at it from a one hundred year quest - imagine the increasing population coupling itself with the current trend of multi-party, coalition parties......can an Islamic political party with a non-threatening name be that far in the future? And with a significant slice of the population, could they one day hold the balance of power in a coalition government? And if so, what would the trade-offs be? Far-fetched? I don't think so.

I agree that many dentists should offer the general public extended hours of service, especially if the patients in their community like you and I greatly value convenience and flexibility. As I am writing this comment, I am sitting in a dental office in Newmarket, ON (www.oasisparkdental.ca). They are open Monday to Friday from 8 am to 7 pm and on Saturdays from 9 am to 1 pm. The staff stay even later when there is a patient that needs to be accommodated. One of the reasons why I feel other dentists don't offer evening and weekend appointments is due to their staff availability. It's hard to find great dental receptionists, assistants and hygienists who are willing to sacrifice work-life balance and routinely work outside normal business hours. Being a dental management consultant (www.dentalconsulting.ca), I feel that part of my role is to help dentists understand patients like you better. After all, you're the real boss and have many options in today's competitive marketplace.

The parameters of the list were provided - essentially a measurement of fame based on endorsements and social media. On that basis the list is probably pretty accurate. The fact that soccer and cricket win the theoretical numbers game based on the populations of impoverished third world countries isn't particularly relevant. No doubt the 10 year old children of India likely know the names of their cricket hero's over that of Lebron James or Drew Brees. But the point of the list is that one doesn't even have to be a basketball fan to know the name Lebron James, Kevin Durant or Stephen Curry. You know the names because they have endorsements, fill your news feed or otherwise make the headlines. How many people who don't follow cricket or soccer can name the top player(s)? How many Indian kids can even name more than a handful of cricket players?
