As usual, Dick, you, place this out of context. The USSR was being defeated in part to the arming of Afghan tribal forces willing to take the fight to them. bin laden was on the receiving end of this support. bin laden went off the rails when the Americans established a base in Saudi Arabia within proximity to Islamic holy shrines, or that was the excuse he used to begin his reign of terror.

We should be worrying in Canada at the decline in freedom of speech and debate in politics ( immigration, values and even housing crises, aboriginal affairs, health care etc without labels being hurled by the left at those with opposing views- this leads to a decline in civil debate and leads directly to the rise of leaders like Trump) and also in our universities where differing views and ideas should be freely expressed without certain groups crying they have been offended to shut down legitimate debate and discussion- this is insidious censorship. We should also worry about the decline in investigative journalism- why did it need the Globe and Mail to shine the light on the unsavoury aspects of the Vancouver Housing crisis while our politicians played deaf , dumb and blind. Another example is the Liberal funds for access to Ministers scandal- well done Globe and Mail in being the last newspaper standing funding investigative journalism.

I voted Trump, but as long as the protests are non-violent and do not disrupt business all power to them. This is their right and privilege to protest. They really aren't doing anything wrong in a legal sense. It's completely ok to protest a fair election, just as it's completely ok for anyone to criticize them for doing so. My family immigrated from the USSR, people truly do not understand what a great country America is. It's not too long ago my parents were afraid to even say "I dislike the Soviet Union" for fear of being kidnapped by the secret police and forced into slave labor, or even death. Trump isn't going to make America great, because it already is.

I didn't know that Rachel Notley was somehow responsible for the low price of oil that has caused Alberta job losses. I would also suggest that people working for minimum wage are not against a raise. Furthermore, if anyone wants a new pipeline to export more Alberta crude and create some jobs they had better get used to the idea of a carbon tax to make the pipeline politically viable. Two pipelines have now been approved to export oil through BC. This is something the PC's failed to do during their tenure so they don't have a leg to stand on.

I don't disagree that drivers are at fault in a majority but your statement that pedestrians use the streets by right and drivers by privilege is ridiculous. Roads were built for vehicles, not pedestrians. Certainly pedestrians need training. Constantly telling them they have the right of way and they're entitled gives them the idea they no longer need to keep an eye on their surroundings. Right of way is correct but assuming all will honor it is asking for trouble.

Besides not ever being allowed to fly again I would pressure the NTSB to file charges against him for filing false crash reports and charge him with manslaughter for the death of his passenger. This is beyond pilot error. Being overweight and flying a Ryan Navion, which is a low wing aircraft with poor visibility for "sightseeing" shows me that it wasn't about a safe and fun flight seeing trip as it was ripping off someone and not caring even about their safety or lives.

Where are all the 2nd Amendment people now, screaming about gun confiscation? I suspect that holding two thoughts at the same time, denial of gun rights and use of a DEA schedule I drug, caused brain freeze. In my opinion persons caught using cell phones while driving are at least as great a threat to life and limb, since cars kill about the same number of people every year as guns do. Oh that's right, cars don't kill people, people kill people. The problem here is that our federal government still considers possession or use of marijuana to be a felony. So we are still putting people in jail for smoking a weed that has never been shown to cause much, if any, harm. In addition, our federal government is making it impossible to do good research on any medicinal properties marijuana and its complex of cannabinoid chemicals might possess. This is government stupidity and the law is a type of donkey. Does no one in Congress or the Administration have the simple courage to fix this?

2. Even if it did apply, the law is unambiguously clear that airlines have to give preference to everyone with reserved confirmed seats when choosing to involuntarily deny boarding. They have to always choose the solution that will affect the least amount of reserved confirmed seats. This rule is straightforward, and United makes very clear in their own contract of carriage that employees of their own or of other carriers may be denied boarding without compensation because they do not have reserved confirmed seats. On its face, it’s clear that what they did was illegal—they gave preference to their employees over people who had reserved confirmed seats, in violation of 14 CFR 250.2a.

Part of the difference in price from 5 years ago to current is the return of capital. There is the yield component, but on top of that, laddered funds are returning some of your capital over time. If you bought the fund 5 years ago, I guarantee you that your Adjusted Cost Base is less than $20. If you are worried about price declines as interest rates increase, buy actual bonds. If you don't have the capital or interest in doing so, stick with a laddered corporate bond. There are lower cost alternatives to CBO, but I still hold some of this.

I just spent 45 minutes talking to Andy Baker about this. I have been down below, in that gully, several times.

Mr. McDonald gave me the impression the fire started miles away from there. // This is starting to get frustrating.

That reminds me of how for centuries the church taught that "spilling seed," the awful "sin of Onan," was murder since all of life (they thought) was contained within the precious sperm, hence Monty Python's hysterically funny song "Every sperm is sacred" from "The Meaning of Life." Of course the church didn't realize that every time a man ejaculates into a woman millions of individual sperm cells die and only one may or may not fertilize and egg cell. Nonetheless, Holy Mother Church confidently held her line for centuries, right up to the present day, since masturbation is still considered a sin.
