yay...common sense is making a comeback! And this is not a gay issue...it is a decency issue. A decency for normal people to continue to be normal and not be bullied by those pulling for abnormal people. simple really...turn this back to the states. If you live in a super liberal state, you should have no problem convincing the voters to give in to the transgenders, who are an infinitesimal part of the population. Must be nice to be easily pushed around,eh? And you have your activist judges to turn over anything that is voted, so what's the problem? Oh, it isn't going to be a national law | 0 | not toxic |
I did not compare either leader to one another - you did --> I just accurately pointed out that neither leader will read the agreement, as the one commonality they have is that they enjoy being narcissistic on their favorite social media platforms.
I guess the real point here is the myth of leadership: Neither Trudeau or Trump will be negotiating anything more than their profile pics; They are mere figureheads.
And to be clear --> Yes America can easily walk away from these talks, as their default position is the WTO, where they win every case. | 0 | not toxic |

Great column Ms. Wente. I might add that another annoyance of our technological age is the situation where you go to buy service parts for some gadget like a razor or vacuum cleaner and are expected by the manufacturer to know the exact model number , and it often was only printed on the ( now discarded) box it came in rather than on the device. I wind up shaving with an ancient electric razor or sweeping with a broom! Stuff has become so technological that it isn't even useful anymore.........but then you save money by learning not to buy it in the first place. | 0 | not toxic |

It's how to enforce the current laws that is in question. Deporting does no good, as most deportees are right back by the end of the day. And those among them who have committed other crimes are free to re-offend. And they do--repeatedly. And we believe in treating people humanely, and not like animals or worse. | 0 | not toxic |

I'm sorry, but the ones that are growing are mostly poaching from other churches. The over all trend with the younger generations and in developing nations is trending down. They are becoming 'nones' or 'spiritual but not religious'.
One of the reasons for this trend is the constant repetition from the pulpit that God's Word never changes. Young folks experience constant change in their world and the message of the unchangeable word of God does not resonate with them. This is not just a result of secularism, it's also a result of how technology, jobs, and education are constantly changing with the addition of more knowledge. The world they live in is no longer about constancy, it's about change. The institutional church is not getting this at all, and I'm beginning to think it's because they can't afford to get it. | 0 | not toxic |
Doesn't make sense to leave your RRSP withdrawals as long as possible if you have a large holding because when you are suddenly forced to make significant redrawals when they are converted to a RRIF you may have more tax liabilities than you bargained for.

Thank you Joe Biden. There is a serious national security problem, and the president elect is non-stop tweeting about his own TV Show, anything to do with himself and, still talking about and battling the election! Good grief. This could be a very long or very short four years ( Trump impeached). Like everything with Donald Trump, you never know exactly what is going to happen or what he's going to do - OK for business, but in politics - Very serious international conflicts and incidents have been started, by far less than what Trump has been tweeting about!

"There have been numerous justice inquiries, royal commissions, inquests, coroner’s reports, studies and research projects done on First Nations suicides. These reports have all identified the same kinds of root causes...Canada bears responsibility for these [suicide] crises through the theft of indigenous lands and resources, the failure to implement Aboriginal and treaty rights, and ongoing impacts of discriminatory laws and policies. Overt and systemic racism by state actors (police, teachers, health care providers, government officials) and society in general have led to high rates of violence against indigenous peoples and a loss of self-worth and hope for the future. The very same root causes of suicide are behind the crisis of murdered and missing indigenous women and girls, the over-incarceration of indigenous people in prison and the overrepresentation of indigenous kids in foster care." - Dr. Pam Palmater | 0 | not toxic |

Mostly because Jason Kenney has only a passing acquaintance with the truth and the moral compass of an alley cat. Has no trouble whatsoever looking you in the eye and saying anything that he thinks you would like to hear. Have yet to hear any concrete ideas or a platform that could or would be implemented. This is only a power play with hate and division at it's core. He has proven numerous times that he and his core will bully, belittle, use character assassination, gerrymander, intimidate or threaten any that stand in his way. I think it is a travesty to democracy that he engineered the double reverse hostile takeover of a duly elected politicians of a legitimate party that was ably representing their constituents. Peddling snake oil that all the Right of Centre will join in voting for him to defeat the NDP. What a line, wait till Albertans get a look at this snakes underbelly.There is no tent big enough to house all the divided factions now. Poor Alberta if he takes the helm. | 0 | not toxic |

I sent a letter to the Representatives explaining how our family farm has been affected by the fear mongering created by the organic industry lobbyist, Ashley Lukens. The people she propagandizes tends to not think about the issues and automatically jump to conclusions that they are being "poisoned" by farmers like my dad, who has been in business for over 45 years. The fear she creates makes people hysterical to the point of destroying our trees. Does she care about that? She and her followers do not give a hoot about the consequences of their actions.
Lukens tried to attend the Kahaluu Neighborhood Board to bring fear against farms. There's no seed farms there but there are small farmers. She did her spiel that was so convincing but never expected to face the real farmers who showed up to question her "data." Instead of trying to work with us on what's truth, she left in a hurry. Her employer has no real investment in farms so they care nothing about Hawaii agriculture. | 0 | not toxic |

0.081 is very high alcohol impairment too though. Really should not be driving or doing anything requirement responsibility with BAC higher than .03. A glass of wine with dinner will not see joe blow's BAC get as high as 0.03, even. My lowest move on this planet was the day I shared a bottle of wine with dinner, and had two or three gin martinis, then drove home. Ran into a police check on the way home .. and I blew a 0.03.

Shawn O'Donnell, you like so many Americans are so misinformed. Our day of reckoning in the USA is coming, but most have their heads buried in the sand and dont think it will happen here. It will happen. Bernanke printed trillions and trillions of worthless paper dollars and the US congress and prez O sat back and watched him do it. In other words the missile that will annihilate the US economy has already been launched. The dollar WILL cease to be the worlds reserve currency. Our government is addicted to debt. And government cannot give something away without first taking it from someone else. Thats why we had to pay for the big bank bailouts. Thats why since the gov began its experiment with paper money our dollar has lost 95% of its value. The end result; $10 for a gallon of gas, $11 for a burger at Mcdonalds, $12 for a gallon of milk,$71,000 for a brand new no frills car, $430 for cable and internet , and $ 700 a month for electricity.

TP2: You're quite right. Long-time, rational, moderate Republicans are looking at the Party's future in the context of Trump's nomination and cringing. The GOP "flirted" with the right-wing fringe to gain control of Congress. It worked and they achieved that goal. However, it came at a horrible price...the integrity of their Party. They're now stuck with a candidate who in no way represents the long-held values of the GOP. Trump is the ultimate "loose cannon" careening around the deck of the Party doing more damage each day. Party leaders have tried, without success, to moderate his behavior.
All down-ballot GOP candidates are nervous over a Party slate headed by Trump.........as well they should be. I predict there will be an effort to "Dump Trump" at the GOP Convention and replace him with a genuinely viable candidate....most likely Paul Ryan. Anyway it goes, the GOP Convention will be a three-ring circus. | 0 | not toxic |

Thank you Jenny for the providing this information. Now maybe the earlier commentors can go read what actually happened before making assumptions and blaming the officer for "causing the accident." Pretty sure that it was the driver, not the officer, who made the idiotic CHOICE to drive drunk, attempt to elude, (a felony but the way,) drive erratically at a high rate of speed through town, and cause the accident that severely injured himself and his passengers. Stop trying to blame the officer. The drunken criminal behind the wheel that chose to recklessly endanger the lives of his passengers and the general public is to be blamed, not the cop. | 0 | not toxic |
