Inequality like non-consumptive users pay no license or fee to view that helps support management and improvements to further viewing opportunities? Or that non-consumptive users can view 24-7 with no restrictions, permits, or seasons established? Or that non-consumptive users have plenty of national parks designated just for them? Yeah, I see what yo mean that there is inequality.........

Harper was not in power when Khadr was captured and the Charter breaches occurred. Chretien and Martin had 4 years to nip it in the bud and didn't. This should not be a partisan matter. What's really disingenuous is Ralph Goodale laying the blame at the feet of the Conservatives: He was a senior cabinet minister and Finance Minister when this all went down and he and the government of the day did nothing.

I don't think that justification makes any sense because, more often than not, ALL investments just get transferred to another investment but capital gains are still charged on them. How is, for example, selling stocks in Company A and using the proceeds to buy stocks in Company B any different, in this regard, then selling one house to buy another? The first is charged capital gains, the second is not. As for the tax changes, they would be complicated because if you are treating a primary residence like any other investment then you can start deducting interest expenses and maintenance expenses, just like what you can do with a rental property. It isn't any insurmountable level of complexity by any means (as noted above the rules already exist for rental properties, recreational properties, etc.), but it would make things more complicated.

I feel inclined to suggest that, to a degree, this is a "not in my back yard" (NIMBY) situation. There's quite the demand for renewable energy development here in Hawai'i - it seems, so long as it doesn't sprout up on agricultural land near some gentleman farming estate. Some people seem content enough to buy cheap agricultural land to - not farm - but to put up a big house and rent it out (airbnb style), but the moment some statutorily permissible activity (like a solar or wind farm) is proposed on that agricultural land, it suddenly becomes a big issue. It literally goes with the territory.

I'm a fan of school breakfasts, snacks, lunches, etc. Think it should be a state thing, not a Federal thing so they can end the administrative stuff that costs, and use those monies for more food. Also, that the schools determine what to serve, ending gov't interference where pizza sauce equates to a vegetable, and, all the cheese and dairy and soda pop, etc. ad naseum. The café workers know what to serve. Let them decide! Match this article with the "science" marchers one and consider the money spent on studies "proving" the value of meals to learning. (duh!) The article above references 86 (!) articles in support of their linked exhaustive scientific treatise in "Frontiers of Human Neuroscience" asserting this value. I simply believe people who say a child learns better when fed. No $upporting $cience needed! At least it's the British paying for that "$cience" instead of us. Use research grants for something useful instead of what is already known. Or, for more food!

Said the spider to the fly ... "The City Council should initiate a collaborative process at a citywide level that allows citizens to make specific our commitment to an affordable, environmentally robust city and begin the challenging process of figuring out the details. " WE CAN has also stated: "For each of the six key transit corridors and downtown, how much new development of each type (multi-family, single family, missing middle, etc.) is each area's 'share ..." "How many sites for homeless and very-low-income housing are needed in each region ..." "[A refinement plan] will create inequity by placing excessive power in the hands of neighborhood associations, which include very little representation from renters, families with children, young working adults or business owners in the area." "[A] collaborative process at a citywide level" is double-talk for marginalizing neighborhood residents & empowering density zealots like Kashinsky & Dobrowolski to impose top-down quotas.

Mr. Singh's swagger is not something the NDP needs (or wants). At heart, NDP members are really quite "conservative" - they want a "return to the NDP roots", they want to go back to the principles of the CCF founders.

I note that Cory Booker was not included in this poll. If Booker does not run, then I would think that Harris' support will be higher because there will not be anyone to split the minority vote. So following the Obama strategy, she would want to stay close in early states and wait for states that have a large minority population and then be the only minority candidate. Harris is also aiming for same coalition that supported Obama (which includes Wall Street). It will be interesting to see if this coalition is still viable in the Democrat Primaries or whether it will be considered too moderate in today's political climate.

Utah exposed a weakness due to the Wahine lineup, adjusted and won. The new coaching staff also has a learning curve that experience and time will help the team to win. Robyn needs to know when to use the challenge card. Using 2 straight during game 3 was questionable especially down by so many points. One should of been used in game 2 with the game tied at 23 and Hawaii serving just out, making it 24 to 23. Who knows how that challenge would of work to a different outcome. Getting back to the challenges. Why does UH have challenges? Is it mandatory if you have it televised? Takes away the home court advantage if there is any. Anyway with challenges the coaching staff needs to think of it not only to question but to use it as a strategy in close games.

Fracked oil also declined because the easiest to frack shale oil was extracted first. It's the low hanging fruit paradigm, the easiest to grab stuff is gotten first. The best parts of Bakken were drilled first. If the price of petroleum were to rise again that would reduce the economic losses of fracking, but the physics and geological limits are ultimately more important. The decline of fracking in shale gas fields in central Texas and Louisiana / Arkansas were more due to depletion than the lack of profit. I recommend the reports of geologists Art Berman and David Hughes for documenting the geology of fracked oil and gas.

Not even close. If the priest says Eucharistic Prayer I (rarely used), yes, that matches the old Canon; the Gloria and Creed were restored in the newest translation. In the Ordinary form, the Prayer at the Foot of the Altar is gone; the Introits, Secrets, and Collects are changed; the Prefaces are different; the Calendar and readings are different, almost entirely; the priest's "Domine non sum..." is absent as it the second and third repetition of the laity.

We don't know enough about the objectives of the San Francisco consulate and the responsibilities of Mr. Sarkar in achieving those objectives to "appreciate" why his job is "somehow" worth up to double the consul general jobs of actual professional diplomats in the foreign service. This is probably because the job isn't worth twice other consul generals' jobs. Mr. Sarkar will be overpaid not for what he can do for Canada or for what he knows but for who he knows - Trudeau, Butts and the rest of the Liberal high command. Most Canadians don't like this practice, especially if it uses money they have been coerced to supply. They like it even less when it is perpetrated by a government that criticized the previous government for such blatant patronage and piously promised to be completely different. Make no mistake - the Liberals are playing us for suckers with their arrogance, extravagance, hypocrisy, cynicism and cronyism. The Sarkar affair entails all of these irritants.

Simply because you, Vance Joseph, say that we we're only 2 scores down and you didn't want to make a change doesn't ring. You must have recognized that the offense didn't move the ball in the first half and that something was needed to ignite the team. This sounds like pure pride to me.
