With all the Federal handouts for everything imaginable, it is hard to believe that we have a problem with people going hungry. The Food Bank estimates that 287,000 residents face hunger. That is about 26% of the state’s population. In the almost 40 years I have lived in Hawaii, the only emaciated people I have seen have been a few vagrants looking for handouts, perhaps because they spent their welfare checks on booze, drugs and cigarettes. If there are so many people facing hunger, why don’t we see them in public like we see hungry and emaciated people in foreign countries on TV?

Here's the difference: Harper said what he meant and meant what he said. Love him or hate him, and many readers here absolutely despised him, at least he was authentic. He would have supported the deal for the jobs and economic activity it created, and would not have blustered about human rights. And he would have been condemned by many for it....and would have been happy to live with that criticism. Trudeau, on the other hand, speaks from both sides of his mouth. He says one thing and does another. The consummate actor, he plays to the audience du jour. He already has an extensive laundry list of broken promises and misdirection. Both governments supported this deal. But only one was jabbering about human rights at every opportunity.

The thing that bothers me the most is the question why have the far Left/Right wing types all of a sudden increasing in their popularity, and now in demonstration mode. There are differences between the middle Liberal/Conservative doctrines, but neither seem to promote what the Alt Left/Right seem to stand for. These far Left/Right organizations espousing radicalism in my view are just not welcome in Canada, or anywhere else for that matter. This for me, automatically becomes a problem should 'proportional representation' voting system is adopted, as that system could open a door to some of these radicals in the halls of our democracy. Think in general, the majority of most folks either on the center Left or Right really want just good government and would reject radical views. Let us hope so.

Russia is a haven for some of the best hackers in the world and teaming with the Russian cyber-security people would be selling the farm as the US provides the missing bits of information that Russia needs to dominate the internet.

We KNOW why the individual healthcare market is so expensive. We no longer have "uninsurables", the people with an expensive conditions that previously a new insurance policy wouldn't cover. Perhaps they didn't want to pay for insurance, or perhaps they had insurance but it was terminated due to a job loss or the company didn't offer the policy at renewal. These are the people that drive costs up. We know this. Previously, a person could have gone from "I don't need insurance" to "uninsurable" in a single event. To offset those costs you have to have people with minimal current healthcare needs in the same pool. Having a penalty for being uninsured encourages being insured. The premium subsidies encourage being insured. This Senate plan still covers those expensive pre-existing conditions. However it makes the penalty for being uninsured $0. It reduces most people's subsidies. We KNOW this will result in a more expensive to insure pool. We KNOW this will make rates go up even more.

My question is can they still amend the bill today? My guess would be no because the bill went through the negotiation process between the house and senate. Then again, I am not a politician or familiar with the rules of the legislature in this regard. I say that they should just pass the bill and force the City's hand.

While I agree with you that Canada should diversify its markets, this has been a goal of Canadian governments since before Confederation. Geography makes it really tough to do so, since it's much easier for a Vancouver business to service customers in Seattle than in St. John's. Online services open the door a bit but the bulk of our trade is still in goods. A major step in diversification would have been TPP, but Trump killed that. He had a host of Pacific rim countries eager to balance China with the USA, so eager that they made major trade concessions. Now they are rushing to join the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) with China. Further complicating trade is that our third largest trading partner (after the US and China) is the UK. CETA will cover the UK only until Brexit and we can't even (openly) begin trade talks with the UK until then. So Justin keep Ivanka on side. Charm may be the best weapon we've got.

I very much appreciate the position these Christian ethicists are taking, in giving reasoned witness against those who promote views contrary to our shared humanity and universal brother and sisterhood. But let us recognize that the country those racist others would like to see bears a significant resemblance to the country we have been building all along. They just want to be more overt about it, to more openly operate and celebrate the machinery of White supremacy, for which those statues are merely symbols. I hope these Christian ethicists next lend their talents to the pressing question of true reparations for past and ongoing harms. The debt is immense. It is material. And we all have a share. It is a debt that begs attention, if we are to more closely approach the body of Christ. Or so it seems to me.

The authors of this article continue to claim that this motion was brought forth in response to the tragic killings in Quebec City. The facts are that this motion was first presented in Dec 2016, one month before the killings, and two months after another anti-islamophobia motion had already passed unanimously in the House of Commons. While I would understand a motion expressing outrage and sympathy for the murders, I don't understand the need to present the same motion twice. One wonders whether the Liberals were disappointed that the first motion against islamophobia passed unanimously, and decided to present a beefed up version so as to sow disaccord. With 69,000 signatures in support of this motion, it seems that the majority of Canada's one million plus muslims were not very interested in pursuing this. Meanwhile, it seems that the majority of muslims are getting caught in the crossfire, as the Liberals use less moderate muslims (or is it vice versa) to pursue their agenda.

Please read the information from the Sanders' web site. I think he has been more transparent about how to pay for his programs than the rest of the field. See https://berniesanders.com/issues/how-bernie-pays-for-his-proposals/ As an example https://berniesanders.com/issues/its-time-to-make-college-tuition-free-and-debt-free/ "The cost of this $75 billion a year plan is fully paid for by imposing a tax of a fraction of a percent on Wall Street speculators " Maybe this isn't detailed enough, but to me it is pretty clear he will impose a micro tax on transactions. Or for his youth jobs bill "The amendment was modeled on a youth jobs bill Sanders recently introduced to provide $5.5 billion for states and local governments to help find jobs for 1 million young people ages 16 to 24. Closing a loophole that lets billionaires pay a lower tax rate than working-class Americans would have funded the jobs program."

God wants so very much to use those sinners who have fallen to their knees before Him, owned their sin and so very much want to please God (we do this best by obeying His Commandments and leaning on/putting our trust in Him and not trusting in our own understanding - to help others.

Anyhoo, the leak of the transcript of Trump’s conversations with the Australian PM and Mexican president is intolerable to the administration.
