Here is a sad fact! If anyone needs a ghost writer, it means that they may not have the command of the Queen's language the way that they do their own language. This is a resultant of being oppressed by a group which does not speak your own language.
We have fallen in love with the language of our oppressors and hate our language to a point where we think that a comment like the one you made is actually an insult.
The Chinese are so proud of who they are that they will require an interpreter instead of speaking the foreign language, as a matter of principle.
The true insult here is that she not only had to divert from her own language but aimed to communicate in a foreign language and even respected it enough to enlist the help of a ghost writer or worse still, she had this level of command over a foreign language and wrote the piece herself.
The newer generation of all races understand this better.

How do you compare the two? Seriously? Are Canadians this silly to think that Canadian companies are on the same level as Chinese companies? Or China for that matter. For starters, Canada is a country where rule of law is a thing that exists. So even starting from that point you can't compared Canadian and Chinese business. This is the kind of naivety I'm talking about. It's bad for this country and embarrassing. | 0 | not toxic |
"I cannot buy the rhetoric around CO2 being the cause of any planetary warming"
No one is asking anyone to "buy the rhetoric", understand the basic science yes, rhetoric no. There is an abundance of good accessible information on the science of climate change, you've never looked? The basic science of climate change is as solid as any science out there, the climate denial movement has been very effective in using rhetoric to spread disinformation and outright lies. Read the basic science, here's a start at NASA: Climate change: How do we know?

With oil at $100 per barrel. It's under $50 today. Do you think you could pay increased taxes while, at the same time, taking a 50% cut in pay? I'm not arguing for a tax free oil industry, I'm arguing against killing the goose. Oil industry jobs are good jobs that pay a living wage on which a person can raise a family and own a home. We're not talking about Wal-Mart and McDonald's where most employees are dependent on the state for food stamps. People like you want to tax and tax until companies like Conoco, BP, and their contractors are forced to layoff thousands of Alaskans (and yes outsiders, too-that's another issue for another day). Every job in Alaska is directly dependent on money that oil industry employees spend in-state. Don't drive those jobs off with liberal chants of "death to the rich." | 0 | not toxic |

A dear friend of mine had just finished a training run for a long distance dog skijor race she was scheduled to compete in later in the winter. She lived in a fairly remote part of the Kenai Peninsula on a dark dirt road. As she was settling in after the run she answered a knock on her door to find a stranger there who handed her a coupon for a free mammogram at Central Peninsula Hospital compliments of the Alaska Run for Women. She had never been able to afford a mammogram so she thought she might as well take advantage of this. A lump was detected. Within a week she had surgery and her life is happy and healthy these many years later. Thank you Alaska Run for Women! You have made a difference. We are all grateful. | 0 | not toxic |

Most of the illegal immigrants being arrested in recent days are also criminals convicted of violent crimes, in addition to the fact that they are, by definition, criminals for being here illegally. The idea that we must accept tens of millions of illegals swarming into our country is ridiculous.

It's not going to do any good to attack the middle or anywhere else if the defense has your quarterback figured out. If the defense has your quarterback figured out the only thing that will work is a hand off where you take the ball out of your QB's hands. My critic of Siemian is this:
1) If you pressure him he'll lose confidence in his line. That causes him to make up his mind where he's going with the ball before it's even snapped. That's what I think the Giants saw.
2) He's not Kyle Orton. The minute Orton felt pressure he would throw a dirt missile to avoid being hit. Siemian was a little more that last year. This year he'll hold the ball to long trying to make a play. But he doesn't slide side to side often enough...to often he'll retreat backwards cutting down on his places to throw when on the run. He threw an int against the Bills that was clearly intended to be a throw away...but since he was running backward when he threw it the ball floated and got picked.

Probably have to agree to disagree.

A big problem with the design and engineering teams is that they also hope they are knowledgeable and experienced, but aren't. They simply refused to take public input until AFTER they had made their plans and refused to make any changes to correct the mistakes they had made.
A couple of examples are the placement of stations. LTD decided that they just knew who would ride the bus and refused to listen to the community when we told them where the riders were and thus where the stops needed to be. Clearly, there is the same problem on the commercial end. They also refused to put the bike bridges over the creek in useful locations in spite of the fact that none of their teams actually ride bikes, so you'd think they might be inclined to listen to those of us who do.
LTD makes it difficult to be a supporter of public transit because of its shoddy operations, and don't even get me started on their horrid lack of safety practices. | 0 | not toxic |

Truth is not a term one normally experiences in discussions with or about Senator Inhofe.
In a 2012 radio interview with Voice of Christian Youth America, Inhofe (R-OK) argued that his belief that global warming is a hoax is biblically inspired. Inhofe attacked evangelical leader Rich Cizik, the former VP of the National Association of Evangelicals, who has made the religious case for fighting climate change pollution. Inhofe said Cizik has been “exposed as a liberal” and is like idolatrous Romans described in the Bible as those who “give up the truth about God for a lie.” In the interview, Inhofe did not mention he had received by then $1,352,523 in campaign contributions from the oil and gas industry, including $90,950 from Koch Industries. VCY America also argues that Obama’s birth certificate is a fraud, Muslim extremists have infiltrated the federal government, and the UN has engineered the Agenda 21 program to transform human society through population control and energy use. | 0 | not toxic |

Clearly you don't understand how politics works. When you run as a member of a certain party , you are agreeing with that parties goals. Murkowski is showing she can't be counted on when it counts. It's hardly petty to take away benefits one gets from belonging to the majority if you aren't going to go along with the team game plan. Trump mentioned her yesterday in a negative way. She has sat next to Trump in a number of meetings , giving her the chance to promote Alaska issues. That will end very shortly, if it hasn't after yesterday . I have voted for her every election and won't any more if she keeps allowing democrats to bully her. If Murkowski wants to be independent , let her run as an independent .

Even the Libs need to pay attention to this. There is an ever shrinking incentive for the world to invest in Canada. World capital is fleeing Canada with all its regulations, red tape, first nations uncertainties, and carbon taxes. These things are great for the enviros , who can use our own overly complex "approval system" to tie up projects like pipelines and LNG forever, or at least until they are not worthwhile anymore. These are great successes for the enviro money machines. (Note: I'm not saying CNQ has not got a good deal here - they may well have - but it will come with layoffs and other such "efficiencies".)
Unless we can make the oil/ gas industry more competitive with the US and elsewhere, Canada will continue to be a "no go" for foreign money. This will make us all poorer, which is just fine with the enviro groups. But hey, it will all be worthwhile, since Canada can obviously keep the world temperature increase to less than 1.5 degrees C all on its own. | 0 | not toxic |

If I was in control of admissions at Harvard I would proceed as I always have and forget the threat from the US government - unfortunately some state schools cannot afford to forgo federal monies like rich private institutions can. Whites in this country have had an unfair advantage the entire existence of the country or colonies just because of the color of their skin (I'm white, so yes I can speak this way). Sometimes a perceived injustice is required to make up for a much greater past injustice - this is what affirmative action is all about. Until white people are kept as slaves and subjected to the Jim Crow south we do not have a proper perspective of this issue. Civil rights in this country is still just into its third generation - people my age (and I'm under 70) still can remember whites only drinking fountains etc. - that kind of discrimination does not disappear overnight and it is right to balance the effects with affirmative action for at least 100 years. | 0 | not toxic |
