The "apparatus" is already set up by Elections Canada and has been for many years.
Elections Canada maintain the International Register of Electors, a database containing the names of Canadian electors living outside Canada. Similar to the domestic one. Qualified electors submit a completed Application for Registration and Special Ballot for Canadian Citizens Residing Outside Canada and provide copies of supporting documents that prove their identity. The special ballot application form is available online, at any Canadian embassy, high commission or consulate or by calling Elections Canada. Completed applications and copies of supporting documents should be mailed or faxed to Elections Canada in Ottawa. When an election or referendum is called, Elections Canada sends special ballot voting kits to all eligible electors in the International Register of Electors, to the mailing address on file.
Since elections are expensive, why have them as they burden the Canadian economy, eh? | 0 | not toxic |

Racism exists, I don't deny it. There are cultural differences that come in to play that help propagate our instinctual fear of what we don't know. On top of that, there's propaganda fed to each "group" suggesting a whole slew of garbage. We also have the media which loves a good racism article because it evokes very powerful emotions that help drive sales. The weak and misinformed tend to fall victim to it directly or indirectly.

Identity politics has truly become a swamp, where honest discussion of the ways to get to equality are often shouted down as not 'pure' enough;
Margaret is often wrong in her argumentative, anti-PC role on the Globe op-ed page, but frankly there is far more common sense in her Google-guy piece than in most others on this subject. Women are perfectly able to choose their career fields, they now make up almost 60 per cent of undergrads at large universities, and there are going to be statistical disparities, including professions (veterinary, family medicine., editing etc.) where they are hugely predominant, percentage-wise.

Besides being a liar, Hillary is all about anything that can make her money. If someone will pay her to take all of the guns away, she will do it. She is an unethical career politician that is paid for by her lobbyist.
The problem with the dems and their gun control laws is they want to take away people rights without due process. I for one don't give my rights away. The government shouldn't take them. The dems are pulling a fast one on uneducated people by the laws they are trying to propose (aka. no fly list gun revocation).
Everyone points the finger at Trump and says that his campaign is based on fear, well the dems are basing their bills off of fear as well. Do we need to address guns, yes, but we need to do it the right way. Getting rid of all guns does nothing but leave the guns in the hands of criminals and law enforcement. Maybe you trust Anchorage law enforcement, but given what I've seen this last year, I want the opportunity to protect myself. | 0 | not toxic |

Strange isn't it--we here regularly discuss some rather complex stuff, and for the most part understand one another, and then up pops something simple, and we misunderstand.

It was my intention to defer. But I am retired from the Canadian Forces and receiving a pension under the Canadian Forces Superannuation Act (CFSA). There is a bridging component to that CFSA pension which a CF retiree receives from retirement to, what I had mistakenly thought, was the point at which one began receiving CPP.
So imagine my surprise when I received a letter with congratulations for turning 65 and information that, because of my age, my CFSA pension would be cut by that bridging amount. So there I was at 65 experiencing a drop in income, submitting a very hurried application for CPP!

For a variety of reasons, I'm a great believer in CBT as treatment for mental disease. And it's not just a matter of 'belief' - imaging technology developed in the 2000s actually shows brains 'rewiring' themselves when CBT is successful.
Unfortunately, the real issue is that many people are in fact too depressed to believe in or follow through with CBT, which requires the individual's commitment to making the changes to thought patterns and beliefs about themselves. So I'm not sure how, without support, this online approach might work for these kinds of people. But perhaps it's a leg up in another way - they don't have to show up for group meetings and work with therapists who they don't feel comfortable with. Interesting to see where this will go. | 0 | not toxic |
What exactly is wrong of securing our borders, of deporting criminal illegals, of keeping tract of visitors with E-verify? With E-verify 911 would not have occurred because those Al-Qaeda operatives would have been deported long before September 11. What is wrong with considering the situation of 11 million illegals instead of deporting families who have been here for many years? Why exactly do any well off Latino not care for Latinos who are below or on the poverty level who Trump intends to have the very same situation as all Latinos who are well off and not on welfare or food stamps? What all Latinos need to remember about Trump is that Trump has demonstrated he can fix what the state government, bright boys of the Democratic Party and even engineers could not fix even after 6 long years of attempting to fix it - the simple task of having ice on an ice rink. 6 years. NYC could not accomplish having ice on an ice rink. 6 years. And Trump did it in 4 months | 0 | not toxic |

With all due respect to the terrible agony these parents are experiencing it is exactly because of their pain and anguish that they should not be deciding what is in the best interests of the child. Neither should the hospital and doctors.

Mr. russell: I'm 75 and, while a young man in So. California marched in Civil Rights Movement events. We were "trained" prior to those events in "non-violence" and were dedicated to such non-violence. IMO, today's counter-protesters need the same training....it's not easy to stay "non-violent" when someone spits on you.....and the same dedication. Additionally, those who are dedicated need to support non-violence by promoting it among fellow protesters who might be more inclined to violence. As tough as it might be, that mkight include stepping in front of violence-prone individuals to keep them from become violent with others.......no one said it was going to be easy.

When you vote to have the government subsidize the costs and care of my aquariums and terrariums and any other pets I might want to enjoy, pay for my stamp-collections and coin-collections, pay for my children's barbie-doll collections and train-sets, then I'll vote to pay for the cost of one of your hobbies too. Owning a cat is not a right, it is not a requirement of being alive, IT'S A HOBBY. If YOU can't pay for all the costs incurred in that hobby then FIND A DIFFERENT HOBBY.
I bought 5,000 rounds of .22s on a close-out sale for only $15, with plenty left-over in case someone in the area wants to start up their vermin cat-hobby ever again. Even $0.003 spent on any one cat is too much as far as I'm concerned, but that's all that I'm willing to pay to "fix" YOUR vermin cat for you. I shouldn't be forced to pay even that much, but since you won't pay to "fix" your vermin cats, then I will "fix" them for you in the most humane and cost-effective method on earth. | 0 | not toxic |

Miss Ann, since we bipedal primates discovered stick tool to catch termites we have used tools to make life mostly better. We use fossil fuels to harness former Plains Indian lands from Texas to northern Canada. Without corn, wheat, beans ,etc. from the "sacred Great Plains", "sacred water" from the aquifers and rivers, including Corp of Engineers dam project, BILLIONS of people around the world would starve. Yes, perhaps, a few could go back to subsistence buffalo hunting, but I suspect most would not.

Two very different men have been instrumental in introducing financiers and clients from Russia and the former Soviet bloc to the Trump Organization’s real estate machine: Felix Sater, Donald Trump’s former business partner and a convicted felon, and Michael Cohen, Trump’s brash, longtime personal attorney.
It turns out that the two men who garnered a lot of attention in the Trump/Russia story – Michael Cohen and Felix Sater – actually grew up together.
In other words, they knew each other decades before they both came to be in league with Trump's treasonous plans.

HRC is going to keep us going on the same system of lack of democracy and the oligarchy will be embedded to the point that we can only make changes with a bloody revolution. That is not something to take lightly. Hillary Clinton has done lots of bad things over a long period of time and so has Bill, Donald Trump has SAID bad things. I cant stand Trump but the hypocrisy is stunning. The DNC according to their own emails ran cons to manipulate Trump into the candidacy through the use of the news media. The reason for this is their weak and very disliked candidate on both the left and right. Their tactic is to point at Trump and say look at the bad man so you can't see our awful candidate. It is clear the DNC also manipulated Sanders who was used as a sheepdog to herd in new voters who were supposed to be turned to HRC. That did not work out so well so now they are tacking right to pick up the anti-Trump Reps. We have two frightening candidates, I will not vote for either of them. | 0 | not toxic |
First off,the writer gave correct advice. But let's back up and, having been in the business, take a very long look at buying back a car from a lease. Of course there will be maintenance not paid for with a BMW. You should cost out what a brake job, oil change (probably not covered) transmission replacement, etc.
When someone wanted to buy out their vehicle I always tried to talk them out of it. Cars wear out, they depreciate, they need more maintenance as they age. Rule one: never fall in love with a vehicle. Okay, if its a high end one of a kind car or truck, fine.
My final bit of advice is to research that year and make of vehicle on Edmonds.com. People are pretty faithful with their experiences. Plus, you should find out what the true Black Book value of your car is. It's a car, not your wife. Take that any way you wish. | 0 | not toxic |

@nelson1000 - don't forget the RE industry even managed to convince the BC Liberals to underwrite a deferred interest homebuyers grant to supplement deposits for first time buyers to get them into the housing market now.
This has had it's intended effect - bidding wars are now breaking out on condos - which is pretty much the only thing the government grant program qualifies them for.
Meanwhile price for condos is skyrocketing, we now have condo bidding wars, and what was supposed to make buying more affordable has backfired because of the rising sales prices.
And the RE industry, proud supporters financially of the BC Liberals, is laughing all the way to the bank. | 0 | not toxic |

While I don't share your sense of nature/nurture as being simple, I think I understand your perspective. I would never imagine taking all credit or all blame for my own children, but there is something to say for supportive vs dysfunctional families. Still, some very good parents end up with children who self-destruct, and some really bad parents end up with children who put themselves through Harvard.
What I would find more meaningful is comprehensive sexuality education (including parent tips), free access to birth control, community support structures for struggling families, and funding for preschools. It's simple to privatize the responsibilities of family, but we all have a public stake in supporting the socialization and healthy development of young people who do not choose their families.
My children wouldn't be the people they are without the benefits this community has provided them. I'd like to take credit for them, but I'd be lying to myself. | 0 | not toxic |
These brass are simply trying to justify more defense spending with their pseudoscientific hoo-hah. NK doesn't have a miniaturized warhead yet, nor is their Hawaii-capable ICBM anything like a reality. Gotta have both before they become a serious threat, and that's at least a decade away or more -- because the difficulty curve only gets steeper from where they are now, particularly with sanctions.
Besides, any attack will come not from an ICBM but a sub-launched cruise missile a handful of miles offshore. No warning interval and no defense.
Mind you, O'ahu is certainly a fat target. But talking about buildings with thick concrete walls as effective fallout shelters is also hoo-hah. Without proper air filtration systems, generators and fuel supplies, etc. etc,, the food, water and sanitation are a short-term joke that will only delay the inevitable -- and not for very long. Half a kiloton? 8k casualties? Yeah, right. A real bomb will leave 500k dead on O'ahu. Ponder that. | 0 | not toxic |

I wouldn't doubt that this often occurs, which makes it even worse to enforce that local firms must be awarded contracts. It is far more likely that the Ontario government will have some cozy, backroom deal with an underperforming Ontario firm than with a New York (or California, or wherever) firm.
While opening up the bidding process to a wider audience isn't going to eliminate governments giving special deals to their friends, it will hopefully at least be a small part in improving the transparency of the whole process. | 0 | not toxic |

Neither Professor Singh nor I were asked any questions. Following public testimony, when council members enter discussion that does NOT include others unless called to the podium, member Pine addressed maglev. She stated that the city spent a year looking at maglev before rejecting it, that maglev would be ten times more costly, and that the current project will only cost $100 per person per year. In an email to her last night, I pointed out that the Japanese maglev was dismissed in one line of the rail EIS (basically, a “hit” piece for steel wheels). Since the mayor now uses $8.2 billion as the low figure for the project, I wondered why she thought the maglev would cost $82 billion; apparently, she did not examine the (maglev) cost estimate sent to the council for completing the project under $6 billion. Finally, I calculated that it would cost each person on O’ahu $288 per year for 41 years for steel wheels. She stated the need for a solution even while rejecting the one offered. | 0 | not toxic |

I looked this up just yesterday... The price of a barrel of oil on January 1, 2009 was between $42.63 and $50.00. Yesterdays price for a barrel of oil was $49.55. From Jan. 2011 to June of 2014 is was between $90.-$128. a barrel and I guess since the money was rolling in, we were drunk on money so why not spend, spend, spend. Now they want to clear out the PFD. My question to the legislature is what has changed so drastically from January of 2009 to June of 2016 that we have a 4 BILLION (That is with a Big B) dollar budget gap? CUT THE BUDGET! We are living above our means, we shouldn't just spend money because we have a savings account.

No one has offered an alternative explanation for the pizza code, like "pizza related map" "dominos with cheese or pasta" or shipping pizza internationally.

Why does Alefantis seem to incorporate pizza, occult and pedophilic symbols in art?

Funny how rating other comments can resemble a WikiWalk. I saw this comment, which I thought was attached to this article but I can't locate it, which provided a link to a paper about some of the Catch 22s of alternative energy.

This America.........is what hate looks like. Divide and opress with negativity. Instead of acting like a civilized human we spew hate for men and women who we don't even know!

Trump's pronouncements and his tweets ignore civil rights and his plans as much as his ravings can be called that will violate numerous constitutional protections. Trump must be the one who believes civil rights will magically disappear when he is elected.
We won't ever see a Trump Presidency, I believe, but if we do I know it doesn't end with happily ever after. | 0 | not toxic |
Unconscious breathing is often shallow and less deep, often exacerbated by anxiety or listlessness that one feels after any failure or loss. Breathing slowly and deliberately is often the best option. As for praying and walking. She did both of those too. As well as securing herself as an American Hero for riding the gauntlet all the way to the nomination and seeing the race through. | 0 | not toxic |
