There are only supposed to be something like 300 to 350,000 immigrants per year, across the whole country. And in theory they are supposed to be selected fairly randomly from around the world, based on skills (including English/Franch), not $$$$$! Even with the well-known bias towards TO and Vcvr, that should not mean "hundreds of thousands" per year. BUT since Trudeau's mass visa, free entry started, you could be right that about 100k have been added to the normal, legal flow into the GTA and Vancouver. So stop it now - no more purchases unless you are a legal immigrant/PR/citizen. | 0 | not toxic |

Not all MBA degrees are created equal. For example, ones from top US schools such as Booth (U Chicago) or Wharton (U of Penn) should be significantly more valuable -- even on a cost-adjusted basis -- than ones from Rotman (U of T) and Ivey (Western) which, in turn, should be more valuable than ones from Sauder and Molson. As such, the cost-benefit analysis should be done with the right scope. One key consideration is that for schools in certain brackets, the value of the MBA has been more diluted vs. in others -- and the dilution isn't linear. | 0 | not toxic |
As for the French elections, Macron is a really good politician. He did benefit from the chaotic nature of the elections, but part of being a good politician is being able to play the hand dealt you well and he did it brilliantly. I like how he is able to present an establishment type platform in populist terms. Plus he is very right that the current French system is protecting the "insiders" and that opening up the French economy and labor market will help the little guy (i.e. consumers and employees.) The French economy is ridiculously restricted; even very liberal people in the US would probably wonder why the French far left is so upset. The last Macron law was about stuff like Greyhound bus service, stores open on Sundays, OTC drugs in supermarkets, etc. None of it was radical. | 0 | not toxic |

How about the 4 years of surpluses that the republicans in the house created during Clinton? If you remember, we had the dot.com bubble bursting which caused a small recession in 2000, then we had 9/11, which had significant impact on the economy. Deficits went up, but after the tax cuts in 2002 and even after the war began in 2003, deficits went down beginning in 2004 until they bottomed out at 161 billion in FY 2007. Then after the democrats took control of the house in Jan. 2007, the deficit exploded to 458 billion in FY 2008. A 400 billion increase in the deficit due to democrats in the house in just one year. Of course they had help from Bush, who had trouble finding his veto authority. | 0 | not toxic |

Depends on what one cherry-picks from that article. I like the over-classification and 'derivative classification' but most especially:
"But then Obama’s lawyers penned a memo outlining why CIA agents could kill U.S. citizens affiliated with terrorist groups." "When outsiders asked to see only the legal reasoning in the memos, officials claimed those were also necessary secrets. When pressed to explain why this memo did not abridge due process rights, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. famously argued that “due process and judicial process are not one and the same.”
That is the Alice in Wonderland argument "A word means just what I choose it to mean, nothing more nor less."
But the Attorney General of the US is not Humpty Dumpty and 'due process' as noted in the US Constitution is determined by the courts. The 'judicial' branch. | 0 | not toxic |

You say: "the priest is needed for the Eucharist, Confession and Anointing".

During all my years I have believed that it is much more than that and includes includes witness, prophecy.

There are numerous economic benefits of legalized cannabis. One of those benefits is the revenue it can generate to local and state governments through tax revenue. These bans won't make your community any safer. It will have a negative effect. You will be denying sick people compassionate care. Currently the federal government recognizes marijuana as a drug that is highly addictive and processes no medical benefit. Thats right, your government says that it knows what is best for you when it comes to marijuana. Does that make any sense in regards to the current landscape when it comes to marijuana? Does marijuana deserve to be in the same category as Heroin, LSD, and Ecstasy? Marijuana is non-toxic and you can’t overdose on it. Alcohol, if consumed irresponsibly, can kill you. Thousands of people each year kill themselves either through overdose or chronic use by drinking alcohol, beer included. States that have regulated legal cannabis have less opioid addiction and overdose. | 0 | not toxic |

Distributed wells would be more vulnerable to a quake and would take considerable annual costs to maintain potable water.

Wait until cap and trade kicks in. The cheese business is already paying more per kilowatt hour than I am paying in California, where the full effects of cap and trade are already in effect. Of course, there is no HST in California and my town does not levy a utility users charge (like a sales tax) on electricity.

My friends told the truth. They took a plea to avoid going to trial without dash camera video.
In the trial of their roommate, the police lied. I was at the trial and heard the audio part of the dash recording, which contradicted the cops' testimony. The fact that neither the prosecutor, the judge, or even the defense attorney called his account into question was unnerving, to say the least. The defendant in that trial also took a plea after seeing that the cops' lies were going to be believed. (He was able to do that because it came out in the trial that EPD was withholding evidence in the case.)
At least using a DA from another county in the Lara case avoided a conflict of interest with the Lane County DA who works hand in hand with EPD. And I am saying that there SHOULD be an independent prosecutor to handle police crimes. Now that the GOP is in charge of the U.S. Dept. of Justice, it will be less likely that police departments will be investigated for criminal behavior. | 0 | not toxic |

Well, I like the idea of more exposure for the Nobel Peace Prize, but the question is loaded. If people name 5 generals, it is because they were famous for being generals. I bet people know 5 American Peace Prize winners, but they were famous for more than just winning the Nobel Prize:
Barack H. Obama, Peace, 2009
Al Gore, Peace, 2007
Jimmy Carter, Peace, 2002
Henry Kissinger, Peace, 1973
Woodrow Wilson, Peace, 1919
Theodore Roosevelt, Peace, 1906
I think most people would know the 5 Presidents. Most people would be surprised (and maybe dismayed) that Kissinger got the peace prize (some feel the same way about Obama). Everyone would know Martin Luther King, some Elie Wiesel. Beyond that, yes, people don't know the dozen others very well. | 0 | not toxic |
The same can be said in the political realm, whether people vote or not, in the growth of the nons or nones or independents. People don't want to commit to any group or idea as much as they once did.
