The biggest economic problem of the 21st century will be low growth. Excellent book on the topic: Capital in the 21st Century,
The gap between the poor and wealthy will rapidly increase as GDP decreases. This is because wealthy holders of capital will be able to almost always earn higher returns on their capital than 2% GDP, for example. Their gains will quickly add up and multiply and governments will not be able to keep up with social programs to mitigate the increasing number of poor people in our society.
Neither side of the immigration debate will solve the low growth problem:
- Decrease immigration so that existing citizens will have more jobs. However, businesses must have more consumers, otherwise there will be no job increases, for anyone.
-Increase immigration so that there will be more consumers. However immigrants will compete for employment, especially at the lower wage jobs and will bring us some costs to integrate them into society in initial years. | 0 | not toxic |

"Along with not actually addressing the group, Scalise was also unaware of the fact that Duke, who was in Russia at the time, was involved in the day's events, Knight said. This is a far cry from the initial claim that the Louisiana lawmaker was an "honored guest" and speaker."

While I wholeheartedly agree with the player's concerns there IS a time and place for everything. I go to the stadium to relax with my family, have some beers, decompress from the job stress, get away from the world, you get the idea. I have lost family during WWII, watched my loved ones suffer after coming home from Vietnam. My loved ones were in hand to hand combat in these wars and were never the same. They witnessed horrific atrocities both during WWII and Vietnam. Two cousins came home from Vietnam in boxes, so when I hear the national anthem I am reminded of the hell they went through and what they sacrificed. They weren't given a choice about going overseas, they were just told "you're going". While to some "it's just a piece of cloth and a song", it means more 2me | 0 | not toxic |
From the Link Smith with the West Lane Fire Protection Authority:
We’re currently holding the High Pass 12.5 fire right now at just over 30 acres as we enter the heat of the day. It started early this morning and we’re throwing a lot at it at this time. If you’ve been on the west side of the valley you’ve likely seen or heard the helicopters and air tankers. Resources are difficult to obtain, but our landowners and partnering agencies are helping tremendously. In addition, we’ve also caught two other fires today……..
Due to current and predicted weather coupled with resource shortages, Western Lane will be moving to an IFPL 4, general shutdown, (District wide – zones WT-1 and SL-2) beginning tonight at 12:01 AM, for Friday and Saturday, August 26th and 27th. I realize this is short notice and reactionary to the conditions, but we cannot afford any additional risk. | 0 | not toxic |

Medical school admissions are controlled by the federal and provincial governments. Nothing to do with medical organisations.
You're also in error about their "wage" inflation; many times over the years physicians' fees have been "frozen" by provincial governments. That's why dentists will never agree to Denticare after seeing what has happened to doctors over the years. Their taxation is no different from professionals like dentists, accountants etc.
Bob Rae slashed medical school places in Ontario against the advice of the CMA and OMA. He did this at a time of increasing population and an aging physican workforce. The much reviled Mike Harris reversed this when it was obvious what was happening as a result.
Canada has never produced enough doctors; preferring to import them cheaply from elsewhere. Unfortunately, not all countries produce physicians to the same high standard as Canada and it's necessary to screen applicants from abroad. | 0 | not toxic |

The problem with the "fair trial" argument is that in reality Canada has little or no practical say in such matters where laws and legal proceedings in other sovereign jurisdictions are concerned. It does have a right to protest the treatment of its citizens when they get into trouble abroad and to advocate on their behalf, but the issues here are whether it has a Charter obligation to do so and if it does how far that obligation extends. The Harper government, which philosophically was no fan of the Charter, sought to rein in its applicability both at home and abroad, which was a legitimate perspective, whether or not one agrees with it. On the other hand, courts, and particularly the SCC, have tended to adopt an expansive view of the Charter's applicability. And why wouldn't they, as this approach serves to aggrandize the power and authority of the judiciary and to undermine the authority of elected representatives. But is this good for democracy in the long run? Hmmm... | 0 | not toxic |

Rent control was lifted for apartments built post 1991, not those built before 1991. So, rent control existed for the full 42 years. The effect of the introduction of rent control was to send a chill down any developers spine. If you built a building post 1991, you put a condo plan on it and sold the units. Holding it long term as a rental building would put you at risk of expropriation without compensation by future government fiat (exactly what rent control represents). The proof is in the numbers, developers stopped building in 1975, and have not even considered building again until very recently. The development community needed a long time for the economics to justify building, and a future generation to forget how vulnerable you are in Ontario is you build rental. This debate has already reminded the development community that the Ontario government cannot be trusted. A lot of harm has been done in the last few weeks. | 0 | not toxic |
Is all news fake news to you? You can read about Trump's changing position on climate change in Breitbart if you want their viewpoint. General Mattis gave a speech on climate change and its importance to national security and steps taken by the military toward clean technology and that was quoted on pro Trump sites. Or Gary Cohn one of Trump's top economic advisors who was in Trump's entourage to , who has been quoted in the Wall Street Journal (one of the best and most balanced news sites-- I recommend it highly--recently Cohn spoke against the President's coal policy. Or Tillerson who has spoken several times on our impact on climate change (starting at Exxon Mobil). He said he has counseled the President to sign the Paris Accord. Breitbart and other pro-Trump sites say Ivanka shares Al Gore's climate change views (Breitbart has published an article attacking her for this position). | 0 | not toxic |

What you've said makes sense Steve. Helfrich often appeared uncomfortable in his own skin. For me that behavior translated into a coach who appeared to lack confidence.

I simply found your defense was one looking for a missing, initial offense. No one among the letter writers criticized motorists. They advocated for their choices. Why take such issue with their pride?
You appear quite anxious to assign perceptions to others. I have no "disdain" for those who do not ride, and I hardly think that I'm alone amongst cyclists in my lack of such resentment. Most cyclists are also motorists...though preferably not engaging in both activities at the same time. It would require rather unrealistic moral contortions to metaphorically pat ourselves on the back while riding and then slap ourselves in the face while driving.
I just don't think that there exists the type of resentment...or feelings of superiority...that you imagine. And even allowing that there may indeed be the odd cyclist with delusions of riding atop some moral high ground, aren't they simply expressing their opinion? | 0 | not toxic |

This IS a smoke screen. Only I think it's not just about abuse prior to the age of computers, but one designed to confuse on everything. The church's leadership has yet to open their books to investigators and the police. They continue to handle cases involving their bishops in Rome, under cloak of secrecy, in a manner that says "take it or leave it" as folks try to see if Justice is really served.
There continues to be a solid double standard at play within the church: they tell the public/laity to do one thing, but hold a very different standard for themselves. Tribunals and Commissions are simply words meant to placate us, but carry little meaning beyond that. Now they're in the mode of patting themselves on the back for having done such a great job the they believe they can hold themselves up as models for the rest of the world to follow.

**Civil Beat Poll: Voters Dislike Trump, Support Lawsuit Against Travel Ban** - Rui Kaneya
-
Election 2016 has demonstrated that "Polls" are meaningless when it comes to Trump. A poll on Trump is meaningless simply because the result would be obvious simply because Hawaii voted overwhelmingly for Trump,
For only Democrats and all those who refuse to accept the fact that Trump is the 45th president of the United States of America are the only people and the only people who dislike (and much much more hate) Trump.
-
Why would those who voted for Trump even think of supporting the lawsuit when Trump told them all that he would issue this particular travel ban when elected? Why?
-
Why would those who voted for Trump dislike him when what Trump has been doing all this time has been exactly what he promised his supporters what he'd do when elected - such as this Travel Ban? Why?

Did anyone see anything positive that Senator Murkowski proposes that would fix the high cost of health insurance in Alaska? I forced myself to read this partisan political message twice to make sure my biases against her hadn't missed the one or two things she could suggest that would actually lower health care costs and thus health insurance premiums for Alaskans but did not see anything. When the ACA was being created she had 26 amendments included in the bill and could have had more. Keep in mind this is the same person who along with her 42 Republican colleagues filibustered Senator Sanders bill to add Billions of Dollars to the VA to hire more healthcare providers and lease more space just as the Phoenix VA issues were coming to the fore. Once the media latched onto the story she showed up at the Anchorage VA with her "I'm oh so concerned" face on just after she had stopped more funding for the chronically underfunded and staffed agency.

Congratulations to Froma for a singular article detailing the descent of the Democratic Party. And, thanks to The Herald for printing it, though I may still wonder if you read it.
So, is it this strange event called "Trump" resulting in an awakening to how far the Democratic Party has declined into the darkness of dumb causes, like "choice" means unlimited abortions for all without questions? And paid for by all without regard to personal views and objections? And, it's not more hurtful than advice?
There are more causes like this which resulted in the hiring of a Trump, and Froma could write for the next 3 years the things the Party of history needs to pull back from to prevent lifelong Democrats from again voting for a lesser-of-evils alternative. It's good to see Rep. Kleeb understands this. She should be listened to.

What a strange comment -- you label Newsweek (a general-news magazine) as "highly scientific" AND "anti-science" in the same paragraph!
I think you haven't grasped the import of the Newsweek article Liz cites. Two different groups of eminent scientists -- the "gold standard" of scientific research -- conducted meta-analyses of all those 40-year-old studies you like to cite. They intended to prove that systemic fluoride really does reduce dental cavities.
Usually, a meta-analysis strengthens the conclusions of the individual studies it combines. But in both these cases, the reverse happened, and both groups of researchers were stunned to discover that there actually is no real proof that whole-body fluoride dosing does anything good for teeth.
They also discovered that nearly all the studies you love to cite were, methodologically, rubbish. Most were conducted 40 years ago, before fluoridated toothpaste became the norm. Take the time to read it -- it shocked me too. | 0 | not toxic |

lescaine,

You're right that historical revisionism is a problem. I read 30 years ago what Orwell wrote about it. It's clear most revising and whitewashing of history (and ignoring the more egregious parts) is done by the right wing (e.g, imperialists, monarchists, conservatives), The right wing has always written history, including Canadian history, because the right wing has been the victors of history (e.g.,chroniclers of the British Empire and American hegemony).
The politically correct cannot change history and have no reason to revise it. But women, Jews, ethnic minorities, gays, First Nations, certainly have a right to point out examples of Canada's history that have been less than glorious.
Obviously, in light of where we want to be now (growing democracy, world peace, social equality, economic progress for all), history falls way short. | 0 | not toxic |
