Sad that they don't take into account the years living in the same home in Property Tax. There are a lot of people who lived in the same home for over 40 years. They can't go anywhere, they can afford it. There should be a point in time where owner/occupants should be given a fixed property tax for as long as they stay in the same house. | 0 | not toxic |

Regarding the bird killer Gutierrez, it's too bad his jail time wasn't longer. I have kids and they did crazy stuff but they never "killed" defenseless living creatures for fun. His TV apology was not sincere, he and his buddies knew exactly what they were going to do with the weapons they brought that night, and it's too bad they won't be publicly punished as well. As a parent of an NYU alumni, they don't need a student like him, who doesn't have a strong moral compass. He's just a follower. | 0 | not toxic |

The over representation argument comes in when other groups are "underrepresented".
The larger point was that in the US, white Americans were not being discriminated against. Their Ivy League enrollment matched their share of the population. There is a belief among many white American males that they are being discriminated against. The statistics don't bear that out.
What is clear that there is less discrimination for them. Therefore CEOs, professional employees, and even Presidents, are more likely to be female or minorities. But white males will still be over represented in the top for a few more decades. | 0 | not toxic |

No should about it - it is all about politics.
I am well aware of s. 33 - my undergrad degree specialized in constitutional law and at law school several of my profs were constitutional experts instrumental in the drafting of the Charter so I am quite aware of the option. However in the real world I simply do not see any federal government taking such action.
The Liberals have several times stated clearly they will not use the that power as they will comply with court rulings.
The Conservatives under Harper had a number of opportunities to use it and never seriously considered it despite the right wingnut fringe in the party setting its hair on fire.
Furthermore invoking s. 33 would require Canada to reject its international obligations and withdraw from various international conventions and agreements on refugees. That will not be happening.
Besides the number of refugees in this situation is a drop in the bucket in the over-all intake of immigrants. | 0 | not toxic |
In terms of NAFTA negotiations, at present nothing is going to hurt Canada more than the takeover of Vancouver-based Norsat International, a Canadian satellite communications company, by the Chinese telecom Hytera will influence the negotiations. According to Just 21/17 G&M: “[T]he U.S Defence Department began a review of all its contracts after the firm closed a deal on June 23 to be swallowed up by Hytera. The U.S. military has contracts to buy satellite communications equipment from Norsat – technology that will now be transferred to China”.

Thai Orchid is a personal favorite of mine. The Tom-ka-gai soup is superb and perfect for a cold day. A group of us (construction workers) order it in the summer when it is rainy and miserable outside, and it warms you right up as well as being far more food than most can eat in one sitting. If you haven't been to Thai Orchid, I would recommend it strongly. Beware though, it is family operated and they often shut the place down for weeks at a time for vacations and such. | 0 | not toxic |
Recall that the Trump administration's claim with the initial executive order attempting to ban travel for citizens of seven majority-Muslim countries was that it needed 90 days to "improve vetting procedures". That was 119 days ago.

False equivalency. The Jews weren't meeting the Nazis in the streets with baseball bats and pepper spray before the Nazis began to inter them in concentration camps. Had they been doing that ... yes, I would have held them accountable for initiating the violence, but it still wouldn't have condoned what the Nazis did.
Why is it so hard to understand that there is no right or wrong side here? Both sides are entitled to an opinion and both sides are wrong for expressing that opinion in violence. Saying it's okay for one side to express an opinion, but not the other is as wrong as saying its okay for one side to be violent, but not the other. Because they both aggressed against each other, both are wrong and there is no right side in this debate.
The only right response to this is to condemn both sides. | 0 | not toxic |

In 2013 public support was for a missle attack on ISIS not Syria and Assad (and Obam did that sending missles form Navy ships against ISIS targets) Both Repbulicans and Democrats were opposed to an attack on Assad. Obama's plan that he stopped at the last minute was for hundreds of missles directed at almost all of Assad's war making facilities and airfields and not just 59 missles directed at one airfield. But Congress was opposed and Obama chose not to defy congress. Trump has chosen a narrow approach directed just at use of Sarin gas and he was very careful to say that. Assad and the Russians retain serious military assets in Syria. Al Quaeda and ISIS have just expressed support for the attack on Assad and Russia is making it more difficult to coordinate with Russia against ISIS but freezing communication. This makes the next step a diplomatic and not military.- Russia may not feat a limited strike like Trump's but it is better than nothing. | 0 | not toxic |

JPZ, Your view on corporate lobbied for welfare is valid and absolutely correct I am right with you on that. So JPZ you figure out how to eliminate big lobbied for corporate sweetheart handouts. It is past time and I'm listening. But just as bad is the intercity generational I'm entitled to government handouts mentality. And I will vote for whoever will give me more. These people pride themselves not by being productive and self supporting but by how well they game the system. JPZ we do need a security net for folks not able to take care of themselves. and most self sufficient hard working people are willing to pay taxes to help the incapable. A person who applies for public assistance basically declares themselves to be a ward of the state. Prisoners are wards of the state and are not allowed to vote. If you are a ward of the state on welfare then you should temporarily not be able to vote because you will vote fore more and better welfare. Just go to work and have a say. | 0 | not toxic |

So much here to think about. I'd like to highlight something near the end of the article:
Fr. Reese ends the article noting that this particular issue seems to fall through the cracks when various advocacy groups look past their agreements and focus on their disagreements. THAT, IMHO, may well be the problem of the day in our society. If one is a conservative, liberal, libertarian, Catholic, Black, Muslim, Jew, millennial or boomer, that's all we need to know about that person. We stop there, discussion over. The end result, we ALL tend to be fed a steady diet of fear. No wonder so many in the Western world fear Islam. With all this fear OF Islam, that same fear stokes liberals who fear rights will be pulled back instead of expanded, fueling conservatives who fear that liberals are giving away or spending our future, fueling even more fear that begets more fear....
These problems are VERY real. I think Fr. Reese has it right. The fix is to focus ad develop what we agree on. | 0 | not toxic |

I don't find this surprising Sarah....we spent a lot on catholic university tuition and private boarding school tuition and our kids were less than thrilled with institutional church....they tended then and clearly are now committed to social justice issues on which they spend a LOT of time.....they are loving caring folks and they are raising the same...and the social justice principles are alive and very very well!
I think that the social controls that used to dictate church attendance to kids in my generation are simply not operative in theses kids...perhaps it's their levels of education (grad school and above) that indicate the intellectual problems with institutional Church, i.e. Misogyny, anti gay etc.. they are very very sensitive to what they perceive as injustice and lack of respect to other groups
Perhaps it's because the Church has not been offering helpful spiritual growth help....ie, the Ignatian Exercises, Centering Prayer et al ....instead rules and boring liturgy.... | 0 | not toxic |
Agree absolutely Betty about comparing actions to words. For me - still think it helps to know what our actual teachings are ... and who educates our bishops, cardinals, the folks in the pews ... about them - and question why some bits are so taken out of context and emphasized over the essence.
I know in Canada, because of the appointments of the last two - current pope has a very limited range of folks from which to choose.
Would love to know more about Vatican investments ... and for me that again raises a questions about Carl Anderson ... wasn't he on the "board" or whatever it is of the Vatican Bank for a number of years?

I have an issue with it as well, which is why I'm posting about it on the news forum and not Facebook, as well as contacting reps. Someone making $20,000 a year is paying a 5.5% tax while someone making $50,000 a year is only paying a 2.2% tax.
You say people should have their say when they vote. I agree. But if you're going to sack the existing system for paying for state services by making the poor pay more, then they should also have more say in government.

The populism that Trump campaigned on is fundametally at odds with conservatism. Health care exposes this contradiction. Most people want access to affordable health care and they would prefer if that access was delivered through free markets. But if the markets can't deliver, they are fine at the end of the day with government intervention in the market as long as it works. An ideological commitment to the free market in all situations regardless of the negative impact on people is what fuels the GOP civil war. | 0 | not toxic |

Kevin, (continued)
Believing that through Jesus' suffering, death and resurrection, we are no longer prisoners to our sinfulness - we can choose not to continue to sin and receive Jesus in the State of Grace! A big part of trusting/believing in Jesus, is knowing that He freed us from the chains that bind us to sin. Once slaves to sin, we become obedient to God out of faith. We are no longer slaves to our sinfulness but rather we become slaves of righteousness. Jesus' grace drastically alters our lives. "And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires." (Galatians 2:4). Grace strips you of your idols and sinfulness, beginning the process of making your life reflect the righteousness that was declared for you on the Cross. Grace doesn't cover up the sinfulness in your life, it shines a spotlight on it and gently prompts change because of the price at which we were bought! (Continued) | 0 | not toxic |

In the 60's & 70's, there was a cannery on Airport Road. There were seagulls everywhere. The DOT used carbide cannons to scare away birds. The gulls would squabble over roosting rights on the barrels of these cannons & get "thrilled" when the cannons would go off! JAL Cargo, on departure from 6L, sucked a gull thru an engine. They said they were going thru the USSR if Alaska did not do something about the birds! As I had worked in the Aleutians a few years fishing, I had learned seagull "psychology". So I told the Airport Chief, that I could get rid of seagulls. He said, "Do what you need to, just get rid of those "Fl**ying birds!" I checked out a shotgun, went down to the end of 6L, where a large shallow pond was & a lot of nesting going on. I shot 5 gulls & hung them by their necks from strategically positioned stakes around the area. Soon the air was filled with squawking gulls. About 30 min. later, no seagulls to be seen! That's when I found out what an "Environmentalist" was... | 0 | not toxic |

Canada has some democratic deficits, but in a multiparty system, it is not uncommon for a party to win a majority with less than 50% of the vote.
In a dual party system like the US, the winner should not lose the popular vote by 3 Million votes.
For any Presidential candidate to lose by such a margin and still be declared the winner by the elecotal college is unprecedented.
The US is an oligarchy -- not a democracy. The electoral college is undemocratic. Superdelegates are undemocratic. Superpacs are undemocratic.

Like Bethel, why has not the govern-mint entitled native corp already have a liqueur store already making a profit. They were set up to help the locals right? With so little alcohol related problems in the villages what a wonderful idea. Someone should supply them with the refreshments instead of forcing them to break the law and also forcing them to take their hard earned money($200 that they worked so hard for), which takes away from the food from the store the poor children need. The store will also provide good paying jobs I would think, not only in the villages but for the makers and distributors. But then again, most villages always have open jobs on the books, they just do not have the people to fill them as I guess all are working. Why else would there be so many unfilled entry level positions? Think of the increase in govern-mint social workers which will also provide many more jobs for those who do not live there and have to fly in on govern-mint money toalso support pilots. | 0 | not toxic |
