I think there is no denying that global temperatures are rising. Alaska is the perfect example of that by just looking at our glaciers. That being said, the earth has cycles. We have only been keeping accurate records for about 100 years. The possibility of there being a cycle larger than 100 years is entirely possible. We have no idea. The real argument is whether or not global warming is man made and whether or not global warming is a naturally occurring cycle of the earth. I for one believe the cycle of the earth is larger than we know and it is natures way of balancing things out. Throughout history, humans have a way of thinking the earth revolves around them. As history shows, we once thought the world was flat, because we couldn't comprehend that it would be anything different than our minds could fathom. Is it possible we could be off base here in our assessment of global warming? The earth wasn't flat after all.... | 0 | not toxic |

"At least 60 lawsuits, along with hundreds of liens, judgments, and other government filings document people who have accused Trump and his businesses of failing to pay them for their work. Among them: a dishwasher in Florida. A glass company in New Jersey. A carpet company. A plumber. Painters. Forty-eight waiters. Dozens of bartenders and other hourly workers at his resorts and clubs, coast to coast. Real estate brokers who sold his properties. And, ironically, several law firms that once represented him in these suits and others."
"The review found more than 200 mechanic’s liens — filed by contractors and employees against Trump, his companies or his properties claiming they were owed money for their work — since the 1980s."
"The whole story paints a picture of someone who, if he has the opportunity to screw some little guy out of a few bucks, won’t let it pass him by."

"including the B.C. and federal governments, various health authorities and intervenors such as unions who oppose private clinics "
In Canada's two tiered health care system, what is ironic and outrageous about the above sentence is the sheer hypocrisy. The Government politicians, Lawyers and Union members ALL enjoy private VIP benefits and access to expeditated MRI's, CT's, Physio, Private Clinics, Psychologists, Dental.
In fact Federal Officials have rapid access to their own physicians and specialists. If the problem can't be dealt with in Canada, then immediate access to US Clinics such as the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota have been known to be frequented by such 'egalitarian Canadians' as PM Chrétien.
Actually the Canadian health care system as it is, benefits private US companies and America the most because instead of spending $Billions in Canada, the many tens of thousands of wealthy Canadians spend their money in the US.

University of Washington neurologist Ethan Russo postulates that “clinical endocannabinoid deficiency” underlies migraines, fibromyalgia, IBD, and a cluster of other degenerative conditions which may respond favourably to cannabinoid therapies... CB receptor signaling modulates pain and analgesia, inflammation, appetite, gastrointestinal motility, neuroprotection and neurogeneration, along with the ebb and flow of immune cells, hormones, and other mood-altering neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and glutamate (213). Cannabinoids (endo [naturally occurring], herbal, and synthetic) are anti-inflammatory; they literally cool the body. But... if the immune system overreacts to chronic stress or mistakes one’s body for a foreign object, then the stage is set for another autoimmune disease or an inflammatory disorder to develop.

Kieran,
It's long been my sense that what the church's leadership wants is a free pass for all of the bishops in power (at least up to some unspecified date), and then they'll consider addressing accountability after that. The unspecified date would likely (and conveniently) kick in after the last of that generation of bishops die. I know that sounds like a horrible thing to say, but I can't come up with any other explanation as to why we've seen such inaction in the face of so much anger, hurt (etc) within the laity and public. The logic behind this seems an almost laughable sense of "how could we know...?" In secular law, we'd be seeing a string of negligence cases all the way to the horizon with this defense.
That retroactive Canon Francis might have had to create, reminds me of the principle of "equity" under secular law. And it's interesting that on something as basic a human morality issue as is this, the the church won't go there, even as secular at least tries... | 0 | not toxic |
It is ironic that we decry the loss of manufacturing jobs to lower cost, often times overseas, jurisdictions yet may posting comments here are cheering the same happening to the dairy sector. I also doubt that a lower supply cost will translate into equally lower prices in the grocery stores. Retailers and processors will ensure they keep a fat slice of the spread, meanwhile dairy farms will be struggling to stay solvent. We have learned nothing from the gutting of Canadian manufacturing.
There is also the question of food sovereignty. It is foolish to rely on other nations to meet Canadian food requirements for basic staples that can be produced at home. Once the current dairy producers have exited the industry they are not coming back. You better hope there is always and forever a low cost foreign supplier of dairy products after that happens. Hope is a poor plan when speaking in terms of national, or personal, food supply. | 0 | not toxic |

The loan was for $14 million. Trump lied when he said "$1 million." He was also bailed out of a couple other early failures. His business record is definitely checkered. He's hardly the biz whiz he claims to be -- or that his myopic, over-adoring fans want to believe him to be. More significantly, he has demonstrated little useful knowledge of world affairs or how government works. And he appears to be a pretty nasty human, too. | 0 | not toxic |

While I acknowledge that there are a few genuine cases of PTSD, the fast growing numbers are an indication of how "soft" western societies have become in the last forty years. Countries like Canada and USA have become so entrenched in having an easy lifestyle with more leisure time and less actual work.
Lifestyles are geared to obtaining material items that reduce individuals having to work or use their own strengthen - electric an can openers or electric toothbrushes, self-drive vehicles that parallel park themselves, all of which require little o none physical effort and certainly no mental effort.
Thus mental coping skills have been impacted as well resulting in serious health problems. To deal with mental problems, medication as become a booming industry promoted by the huge international drug companies. In reality many RCMP officers resort to developing mental health problems as an escape goat when they are faced with heavy work loads. And once prescribed they're addicted. | 0 | not toxic |

More fake news and lies, MC. It is beneath you to misrepresent so blatantly. In my book, premeditated murderers should be summarily executed by public hanging or rifle squad.

Long prison sentences are routinely awarded for crimes that raise emotional rather than physical consequence. Those are inconsistent with an enlightened rational society. | 0 | not toxic |

This article makes one want to laugh out loud.
It appears to be predicated on the ridiculous and false assumption that ANYTHING meaningful has happened with Vancouver houses in recent months.
Hello?
The average price of a detached house in Vancouver city limits is close to three million dollars, dozens of times the average annual local income.
The reason prices are so high there is MAINLY due to overseas money flooding in, most of it from China.
So no, there is no meaningful drop, there is no shoe that has dropped. Nothing meaningful has changed.
And it is hallucinatory nonsense to be saying that the government has taken actions (roll eyes) aimed "to cool overheated housing markets." In reality, no government - not Ottawa, not Victoria - has any interest in meaningfully cooling the market in Vancouver. If they were serious about that, they would be targeting the Quebec investor immigrant program that is a floodgate for overseas buyers getting into Vancouver housing. | 0 | not toxic |

HChef, subsidized daycare is known to increase birth rates (QC has the highest in the country) and allow more women to participate in the work force. (Fees for newborns are approaching 2K per month in most cities, making it unaffordable for most working women). As far as I can see it's either that or increase immigration.

Gandhi said, "The true measure of any society can be found in how it treats its most vulnerable members." Christy Clark and her BC Liberals reign is a sordid, horrific tale of the proverbial sweeping issues under the rug. BC is the only province without a Human Rights Commission dismantled by the former Liberal Premier Gordon Campbell. It has the pathetic Human Rights Tribunal - an utter failure in comparison. The high, exorbitant rental situation has spread to Victoria. Disability payments are among the lowest in areas where the cost is high. The fentanyl crisis is looming larger and larger. The increase to the MSP is crushing. And so much more. The BC Liberals did more harm to the working class and the poor, and they benefited the wealthy with one tax break after another.

Vinyl LP records never left. A bunch of people simply settled for mid-grade fidelity because they believed the pro-CD marketing hype or they simply did not care for whatever reason. A stereo analog LP done right mesmerizes, excites, and titillates. You just haven't actually experienced many of the old (and new) recordings until you've properly listened to the original LP issues. Others were never reissued digitally. Many people have been missing out, stuck instead with the digital audio recording technology of 1983: compact disc Red Book audio. If physical albums just aren't your thing, try 24bit/96KHz (or above) or DSD/DFF. Digital+Physical+HiFi could lead you to hi-def DVD-Audio or SACD audio format albums. The fact of the matter is though, most albums only get issued in true hi-fi as vinyl LP records, even today in 2017. The downside to vinyl LPs is the expense of credibly good playback gear, but if you're sitting and listening, time is valuable; aim high on quality of fidelity. | 0 | not toxic |

If it's your money in the fund, and the managers miss, do you have to send them more money to infill their losses, to make the fund whole again? And if I am putting the money into the fund (employer/taxpayer paying the PERS contribution), why do I get the losses and the employee gets the gains? That is NOT the case in private capital investments and businesses. Apples and oranges deal. You can't take the gains and expect the contributor to make up all the losses. I will make a segment of the population really disturbed and angry. It's not an investment with risk and reward, but a system of all reward and zero risk, expected to be paid for by taxes on risk/reward money gains. All that is forgiven is that you are not liable for taxes on losses. Yet.
