By the way, Mythman, I personally believe that every single illegal alien present in the United States should be rounded up, reviewed for legal justification to stay, and if none shipped out immediately. Illegal aliens are breaking the law. There's really no legal justification in my mind that permits them to stay. I also believe it would be fair and legal to put a moratorium on travel from ALL countries of the world as a matter of policy (just not some). I think, however, that banning travel from all countries would have catastrophic economic effects on the US, and a ban on travel by Japan nationals and Chinese nationals in particular would devestate Hawaii economically (could there be a pretext for banning a country from which Hawaii enjoys high tourism numbers? Yes. That is what, I think motivates Chin's efforts, in part). Just don't discriminate or exclude based on an immutable trait, by presuming an immutable trait is per se evidence of bad behavior.

Sorry I mis-interpreted what you meant about the grandmother reference, Mythman.

Trump was used to being a petty tyrant in his own tiny world of golf courses, game show host, and fraudulent "universities." That's why he loves autocrats like Xi, Duterte, the Saudi royals, and Putin. Though Putin is his chief benefactor, so Trump has more reasons to love him. Trump hasn't the first idea of our nation's government. That only goes along with his profound ignorance on any subject you fancy....except bankruptcy law. The great businessman has plenty of practice there.
10
I'm embarrassed that the vast majority of countries don't trust this petty, vindictive man now occupying the Oval Office. Did it ever occur to you there may be a reason that only Russia and Israel trust this guy to do the right thing. I'm ashamed and embarrassed that this con man demeans our country's highest office. More than that, I truly believe he's dangerous.

50 years might be a virtual nanosecond in the history of the universe but not so in the history of humanity.

It's a game I'll gladly play, if the "historical actions" go back less than 50 years. In historical terms, that's a nano-second. Which is why I said, "Canada is still working through it."

When I was 8 years old in 1952, my father went back into the air force and my family took the train for a 5 day trip across Canada from Moncton to Calgary (near the air base where he would be a flying instructor). Until then, I was a kid who thought little if at all about my country. This trip and all that I saw from the vast forests and lakes and prairies to the metropolises of Montreal (the Sun Life building at 50 stories was 44 stories higher than any I had seen up to them) and Toronto plus wonderful meals on the CNR and stories from the porters who took a liking to me filled me with wonder about this great land and started my now 65 year love affair with it. But my second most influential experience in this love affair with Canada was the six weeks I spent at Expo 67 attending an officers`management course that started late, finished early, had no exams or pass and fail and allowed my wife and me to explore everything Expo had to offer. Yes, Layla, this was a magical time!
4
I was living in Montreal in 1967. I had a season pass and attended Expo regularly, sometimes with my parents and sometimes with friends. I often wore a pantsuit of brown corduroy with yellow flowers, as was the "flower power" fashion of the day. On the radio, we listened endlessly to Bobby Gimby's Ca-na-da song. It was the year of Expo and the centenary of Canada. The future looked bright and modern and everything seemed possible. Still brings a tear to my eye to have experienced such unadulterated joy.

Nope, there are facts. Trump of course wouldn't know that since he makes stuff up. Like when his "investigators" went to Hawaii to investigate Obama's birth certificate and "you won't believe what they're finding." AT least he was correct about that last part. In fact, you can't believe ANYTHING he says. Were you fooled by that? Do you realize he never sent anyone to Hawaii? And you believed him?
4
There are no facts. It's just an opinion not validated. Pretty simple.

It would have been the same under any party. It's a 150th Anniversary. There isn't a political party in the land, past or present, that wouldn't use it to portray their idea of Canada.
4
Canada 150 is going to be nothing more than a giant liberal party love-in, festooned with approved liberal party/Laurentian elite buzzwords, bought and paid for by you and I - the taxpayer - without our consent. I never appreciate it when our own money is used to propagandize to us rather than achieve actual results, but now Trudeau's incestuous globalists are planning a veritable Orgy of the Vanities. The fact that we are all going to paying for this gigantic liberal party jerk-off just makes me sick.

HIk, Peter. MPQ's comment answers your question, in part. Here's another part: Yes, Mao murdered millions. However, the victims' next of kin were all PART of the society, not physically and psychologically already alienated from it, for generations. Craziness was was short-lived. The young victims of the Cultural Revolution returned home, and began lives again. They could "move on." Why didn't the Japanese boomer kids I went to school with in Vernon B.C. HATE me, taking cues from bitter, resentful parents? I wondered about that for a long time. They shared the "good life" before 1942. These educated people were sophisticated enough to understand that their lives would return to them one day...and they moved on almost immediately after they were released. And eight years is almost "temporary" compared to generations in which poverty was perpetuated, initiative stunted, by decades of government handouts.
4
I am really puzzled by something. Maybe the Globe and Mail or it's readers can help me out. I have family members and many friends and colleagues who survived the horrors of Mao in China, came to Canada and have prospered. Mao murdered millions, far in excess of anything that happened in Canada. Why have newcomers to Canada prospered so quickly (take a look at the composition of students on any university campus) while Aboriginals continue to lag so far behind? I wonder if it has something to do with the victimization stereotype that has been relentlessly pushed on them by their so called leaders and non-Aboriginal advocates, who have actually done a great disservice.

Trump, of course, is a veteran — sort of. “It’s amazing, I can’t even believe it. I’ve been so lucky in terms of that whole world, it is a dangerous world out there. It’s like Vietnam, sort of. It is my personal Vietnam. I feel like a great and very brave solider,” Trump said in the interview when Howard Stern asked how he handled making sure he wasn’t contracting STDs from the women he was sleeping with.

Hi, Canadian Old Boy. You ask, "Or will this same story be repeated over and over and over again? Without resolution!??" Yeah, I'd say so, for at least another generation or two. One reason: it's been going on this way now--aided and abetted by the federal government monthly handouts that saps initiative and encourages indolence--for almost generations already. So changes is going to be slow.

What are indigenous peoples expecting us, so-called settler Canadians, to do? Leave? Not going to happen. Many groups of people have come to this land to escape persecution in their countries of origin. And on arrival, many experienced discrimination and hardship. Who tells their stories? Not the First Nations! I am fed up apologizing to our Indigenous peoples for incidents in which I had no part, in which my relatives and ancestors had no part. What is done is DONE! Are we able to move forward as one nation, working together? Or will this same story be repeated over and over and over again? Without resolution!?? So I ask again, what is it that the indigenous expect of the non-indigenous?

I dunno how to say this properly as I know zero about fashion. Anyway I've seen some gals in Denver dressed straight out of the 60s and done well! Then I've seen the kids with nose rings and purple hair - They can be cute and cool also (I'm old enough to be their grandfather, so just saying). I've seen fashions come, go and come back. So on fashion I am completely confused. However I fail to see any relationship between ones character and their choice of fashion. Perhaps their fashion is a statement of some sort. Well that's allowed in the US. So I agree with MsTree but... To answer your question...I saw plenty of well dressed knockouts last time I was in Denver who I know smoke pot :)

So people who wear tie-dye while they consume marijuana are not upstanding or responsible? And why are they using a 5 year old photo again? Are there no more nicely dressed women in Denver smoking pot?

You mean like the repeated retractions happening after hysterical claims from the media have been proven wrong over and over and over again? THAT and obvious bias for Clinton or the DNC, is what kills media credibility in the eyes of so many. If we wanted Democrat talking points we would go to the Democrats for those. An unbiased press (an oxymoron similar to military intelligence) would present both sides and leave their own bias out of it. But they haven't and anyone with eyes and ears can see and hear it.
4
Yep, they're lying. Donald tweets and they print it, but it's a lie. Donald golfs almost weekly, but when the media reports it, they're lying. Donald insults people while being recorded, but the press coverage is another lie. Hee-hee.

Just because it affected you hardly makes it a global issue.

Where have you been hiding. It was certainly an issue. My mother in law had to deal with this in her faith life when a seminar at her parish made her feel uneasy about her divorce and remarriage (and her husband's). A priest friend of ours counseled her and blessed their marriage. This happens more than you would think and occurred before the Synods.

I guess we are coming at this from our own perspectives on renting & owning, since you are a renter and consider yourself " canny & wise", and someone like myself who has owned 14 rentals ( until this past year) is a " blind purchaser" I started buying during the times of 16% interest, and over the years my renters paid off the mortgages, as well there was considerable appreciation in the buildings themselves. I will take your word that you invest the difference, but from experience, you are in the minority, and the vast majority spend it on vacations & dining out, because there were no forced savings.
4
Actually, it's been done to death. The rent to own ratio is very distorted in certain cities such as Toronto and Vancouver, A canny renter can do far better than the blind purchaser, and in those cities is probably the smarter one. I will argue that the renter can be wise enough to invest the difference. I do, and this lady clearly does as well. If real estate is cheap then buying is worthwhile, but if you're buying a 400k condo with 100k down, your monthly cost of 300 strata + 200 taxes + 700 in interest on the 300k + 500 in opportunity cost on the 100k downpayment ... that's 1700 dollars in "canceled cheques" every month, whereas you can get a decent apartment at eg Bathurst and Eglinton (nice area, btw), for maybe 1200, 1400 per month. At the end, you don't end up with "nothing". You end up with a large pile of wealth generating liquid assets, instead of a money pit house that is constantly deteriorating on your dime.

Hey ... pssssttt ... I'm hearing that Hispanics are lining up at madrassas to convert to Islam. Lots of people are telling me this!

Hispanics are a tremendously proud, proud people. No way are they going to sit back and allow the world to equate them and their beloved language with abject failure. So here they come, forcing their way into the USA, all proud and defiant, too proud to speak the language of their perceived hated historic rivals, vowing to use the power and prestige of the USA to promote the Spanish language on the world stage. The Spanish language is to Hispanics what the Islam religion is to Muslims. Both are practiced and used in a large part of the world and it makes both people feel as if they are important, as if they matter to the world.

Good Morning Skeexix, Go it alone means theoretically, the US is uniquely positioned geopolitically, literally and existentially to need no other nation to survive (not counting a full on nuclear exchange which nobody wants) and be better off relatively than any other nation who threatens us or wants something from us. For the few resources our country does need, we have the cash, market, manufacturing ability, and military power to acquire them. Now that doesn't mean we want events to degenerate to that point (that's what negotiations and diplomacy are all about) but when we walk into the room, that is our bottom line. And we often are the only one's in the room who don't know that. America first!

I have fully backed up all my opinions with facts, actually. And you present the process backward, which is something I find to be common among right wing people. I don't form opinions and then go about looking for "facts" to support them. That's what the right does. I look at facts and then use them to form my opinions. "Independent" doesn't mean free of ideological positioning. Independents swing left or right.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt by assuming that you are looking - but are just doing that thing where you squeeze your eyes shut, cover your ears and say "awahwahwahwahwah.....!"

Trump is as good as it gets? lol, you sure have low standards. Ignoring science so that a few can profit is not very logical. Hillary was not my candidate and I do not like her hawkishness but aside from that she would have been a very competent president. Sure beats having a clown as president. But maybe it is time for world leadership to change. I just wonder if the dollar is going to cease being the world's currency. If that ever happens we will truly be in for some tough times.

I watch a ton of big ten bball and OG is awful. Glad nuggets didnt get him. He can defend but he is an offensive liability and a half. This a great move by Nuggets
5
I think this was the plan all along. I think the nuggets dropping back in the draft was a good move and if they would have gotten their man OG Anunoby who was taken one spot (#23) ahead of them everybody would had thought Connelly was a genius. Instead they took a chance OG wouldve been available at #24 and they lost, so they looked foolish. Thats the way it goes, you gamble and lose sometimes. They still got 2 decent players out of it (Lylez and Lyndon). Now they can give up on no D Gallinari and hope Mudiay gets better and Millsap can teach the rest of them how to play some D.

Not entirely. Puritans and Huguenots came to North America for religious reasons and then, in some cases, their descendants came to Canada for political reasons as United Empire Loyalists. Those who fought with Simcoe in the American Revolution, for example, had little choice but to leave.

Immigration is driven by economics. That is the reason your ancestors moved to Canada too. As for enforcing immigration, I guess China can embrace large scale immigration and we can embrace a communist form of government?

The Christians you mention are well within their rights. I just want them to have the right to make the choice and not be compelled by law to do so.
4
There are many Christians who do not feel superior to, nor believe we have the right to judge others. To practice bigotry in the name of Christ goes against the loving example of the Christ whose teachings many Christians follow. In short, you do not speak for all Christians. As for your freedom, you can practice your religious beliefs in your churches, or anywhere you want as long as you do not use your beliefs as a tool to discriminate against others, which is against the law.

I thought the cartoon was a bit over the top too, but funny. I remember Biden saying something about taking Trump behind the wood shed or something. Now THAT, I'd like to see. Compared to Biden or Sanders , Trump IS a vigorous youth, and would beat the crap out of Biden. Trump is a dynamo, at 71 he out works the hell out of anyone I know in their 50's. 4 to 6 hours of sleep, are you kidding?

What are the solutions to vote suppression? . 1. Get rid of FPTP. The sooner, the better. Most important step in protecting democracy. . 2. Until (1), have non-partisan redistricting. . 3. Mandate Elections Canada pro-actively to maximise voter engagement and participation. Register every voter. Make it easy for every voter to vote. . 4. Make vote suppression - in any form - a criminal offense. . 5. Outlaw data mining, browser tracking, and automated narrowcast voter targeting = criminal offense. . 6. Give Elections Canada criminal investigation powers - and a budget. . 7. Enforce the Fairness Standard in all media - including Facebook and Twitter. Require the identification of paid trolls and their paymasters. . 8. End the charitable status of churches. It might be hard on real churches, but deliberate destruction of democratic institutions by the Republican-financed-church-racket should not be subsidised by taxpayers. . Protecting democracy matters.
4
What are common ways of undermining FPTP elections? . 1. Line drawing. The Dems win 1m more votes, but get 37 fewer seats = Gerrymandering = GOP majority. . 2. Voter ID laws. . 3. Elimination of pro-active, door-to-door household enumeration. . 4. Mining Big Data and using browser tracking cookies to target vote suppression or polarisation at individuals. (Should be a criminal offense). . 5. Cutting voter registration offices, shortening working hours, inaccessible by public transit. . 6. Failure even to monitor, still less control, 24/7/365 election spending. . 7. Failure to enforce the Fairness Standard/Paid Partisan Disclosure on all news media - including social media. . 8. Early cut-off date for registration; . 9. Reducing early voting days/hours. . 10. Linking voter registration to Motor Vehicle or Gun/Fishing permit registration (but excluding student cards as valid ID). . 11. Automatic re-registration only of people who have not moved.

Radical lefft agenda? Just what are you talking about? But their so called radical left agenda is certainly better than the idiotic policies of the right. Lets close down rural hospitals so that the rich, like the Donald can get tax breaks. Then we can increase wasteful government spending trying to make us safe from ourselves. lol What fools the republicans have become. A real shame they no longer have an Eisenhower to lead them. Now its just the Donald, a clown.

"If the electoral reform agenda progresses in B.C. (or anywhere else in Canada) to produce a form of proportional representation, then minority governments, coalitions and alliances will no doubt become more common." Keep this in mind if there is a referendum on electoral reform. Proportional Representation will mean endless minority/coalition governments that have trouble getting any legislation through and will never be able to fully work their election platforms.

Here is this guy's 4th of July message: He never served, but disses all Americans who did serve in the military. Americans who risked their lives to protect our freedoms. He also disses all American who didn't vote for his party as being basically dumb, and by extension, he disses America's system of democracy. What a great July 4th message MSW.

@KHW3: You said: "One can reasonably assume that, yes, over 15 years a real estate investment will have increased in value." rickschlosser provided an example of how on a long timeline, your assertion can be incorrect some of the time. There are multiple examples of very bad timing in each Canadian city from the last few decades. So I don't think it's a reasonable assumption. Not when places can be rented for less than 1/2 the carrying cost of buying. Not when incomes are flat. Not when emergency low interest rates are finally showing signs of going up slightly (though I'm not holding my breath for much). Not when there's a growing number of people on the wrong side of the real estate equation who are being excluded from their hometowns by a status quo and market interferences that blatantly favor long-term owners. Many Canadian real estate markets from the 5-10y bear little resemblance to what they looked like for previous decades.
4
rickschlosser -- That is so ridiculous. You might as well apply that logic to credit cards ("they are damaging because x-percent of holders don't repay the full balance by the due date, leading to increased debt and financial hardship"), cars ("because they require upkeep & maintenance which puts a strain on family budgets"), pet ownership ("because money spent on a pet's nutrition is frivolous discretionary spending that could and should be spent better elsewhere"), marrriage ("because nearly 40 percent of all marriages end in divorce, which is upsetting for the children and puts a strain on social services.") Your comment that while some of "these programs may work, and for folks like you I am happy," is absolutely B/S. Folks like you are never happy unless they're dredging up the negative on any and every topic. So ... so dishearteningly negative. Very sad!

As soon as you say "the alt right" it is clear your prejudice as is as bad or worse than those you accuse of racism. Trump's ban has nothing to do with the gibberish spouted by these two women.

I see this whole column is nothing more than the usual leftist nonsense in that they are telling use what Trump thinks. They are clueless.

No - I didn't miss it - it wasn't relevant. What I have come to realize is that Tesla = Apple when it comes to their adherents.
4
First off, it is musk that is fine with dropping it. He is not wild about subsidies, esp since far far more goes into oil, gas, coal, GM, Ford, etc. Secondly, sometime in early 2018, Tesla will hit the magic 200,000 cars. Then the subsidy starts to drop. Of course what you missed is that Nissan and gm also hit that number in early 2018. The difference is that Nissan and gm are selling $22-25k cars for 35-45k, while Tesla car are easily the same or lower cost than comparable ice vehicles.

I don't disagree with your opinion of M. Jean's cop-out. .... I'd still like to hear from the professor about her opinion on whether this was precedent setting. Ms. Turnbull?
5
Under British constitutional law, the Monarch is obliged not to take advice other than from someone having the confidence of the legislature. . Michaelle Jean took the advice of a person who manifestly did not have the confidence of the House. She had no business even listening to him, other than to accept his resignation. It was an egregious error. . How do we know? . Because the whole reason for Harper's visit to Rideau Hall was that he knew he did not have the confidence of the House, and dared not face a vote. His very presence at Rideau Hall was an admission of Non-Confidence. . So, instead, he co-opted the Queen's representative into a slimy, non-democratic scheme. It was effectively, a Constitutional coup-d'état executed with Royal blessing. . She didn't have the gumption to refuse. . Her correct answer should have been: . "Mr. Harper, I will grant prorogation as soon as you have demonstrated that you still command the confidence of the House, should that be your advice."

The International Criminal Court didn't prosecute Radovan Karadžic. That was a special prosecution brought by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. That tribunal was formed by a resolution of the UN Security Council. To my knowledge the International Criminal Court has never charged or prosecuted anyone other than an African.

Radovan Karadžic is not from Africa. The court convicted him and has sentenced him to a term of 40 years.

Todd, the credit rating matters because A) it will have an impact on the investments made by the Permanent Fund, and B) it is cheaper in the long run to leave your own assets in savings and buy cheap bonds for short-term needs. Now those bonds aren't as cheap.
4
I don't think the house or senate leadership has much to be proud of. I disagree about the credit rating. Credit rating is important if you want to collateralize a 60 billion dollar, economically questionable gas line, but for the most part this argument is a red herring because the state currently has almost 80 billion dollars in the bank. (I will concede that a lower rating makes paying back current borrowed money more expensive, but the bigger issue is why we have borrowed money in the first place.)

Canada's behaviour (as pointed out by the Supreme Court) was not only abysmal but illegal, as Canada had been a signatory to treaties about child soldiers never being treated like adults. GOOD that he will be compensated. Those that complain about this are wearing blinkers, refusing to admit what the law proscribed - which shows that their emotions towards Khadr are more important to them than law, justice or simple human decency.

You told a bald-faced lie when you said Castille was high out of his mind. Even if he had been, it in no way justified his shooting.

"Seems to me" isn't worth much in a court of law, or anywhere really. I assume you're talking about Philando Castile who was high out of his mind, mistaken for an armed robbery suspect, told the cop he had a gun before digging into his pants pockets against the officers orders? That guy? Yeah, that was pretty much a textbook example of how not to act in a traffic stop while armed. "Seems to me" race had nothing to do with it.

Yes, completely agree. For every soldier who died in Afghanistan, for everyone wounded there, for every soldier with PST, for every family member who lost a father, write to your MP or write to that man who claims to be a Primer Minister for all Canadians to express your feelings. Who knows, may be they will offer $10 million to each veteran and their family.

This is a slap in the face to every Veteran who ever served this country especially the ones who served in Afghanistan. This enemy combatant who killed one of our Allies is given 10 million dollars of Taxpayer's money. Disgusting and sickening.

Eye witness reports of him throwing a grenade. While he may have been less than 16 years old, he was old enough to know better in my opinion and I believe that is the point the court and I disagree on.

They didn't do this out of the goodness of their hearts. Fact is Khadr could easily sue the GoC and win a much bigger larger sum. What CSIS did was a crime against humanity and a violation of the Geneva convention. Next up the Foreign Affairs staff who turned a blind eye to to Afghan detainee abuse and those within the Martin and Harper governments who deliberately covered it up The truth will out.

And that is the crux of it. If Harper would have repatriated Khadr while the other countries were repatriating their nationals, we could have avoided a unanimous Supreme Court judgment and we would likely not be looking at $10 million in compensation today. The Conservatives failed Canadians in every way on this file. Now let's hope we hear the end of this.
4
Frankly, I think the Conservatives have their heads too far up Uncle Sam's backside to do Canada any good. What Khadr did was wrong, and what the US authorities did was wrong. However, when the Conservatives had the chance to do something right, they failed. Had they done right in the first place, then they wouldn't have to sit in opposition, denouncing the $10 million dollar payment. At some point, there must be rule of law. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Difference is, thank goodness, that there were no fatalities! I have, years ago, seen a few seiners so full of their catch they were almost sinking, but that was about forty years ago in Southeast. I guess the spirits of the salmon were not willing to give up to the human beings !

I have never before agreed with Jason Kenney about anything and almost certainly never will again but he used the perfect adjective for this misbegotten dead of Trudeau - odious. He could have invoked the "notwithstanding" clause but didn't have the fortitude. Try to pretty it up however you like - Khadr is a traitor. He put himself into a fight with the big guy and took a serious licking. Too bad, so sad.

Wrong. Land ownership and prosperity are not directly linked. Study this list and note how many prosperous countries have relatively low levels of home ownership: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_home_ownership_rate What IS directly linked is national prosperity and the legal protection of all private property (including intellectual property). Your racist, outdated ideologies will INCREASE suffering and deprivation. If you want to increase home and land ownership among black people, give title deeds to the 18 million people living under traditional leadership. The real question is: why haven't you done this yet? If the ANC genuinely cared about poor black people, you would have done this within your first five years in power.

We should have a front row seat to the show in Sweden and other parts of Europe, but our media doesn't report on it. Last week, Swedish National Police Commissioner Dan Eliasson pleaded "help us, help us" at a conference on the rising levels of crime and criminal networks in Sweden. The vast majority of these networks operating within the 61 heavily migrant populated no-go zones (up from 55). Two days, organizers cancelled Bravalla Music Fest due to a staggering amount of rapes and sexual assaults. This forced integration is a failed experiment yet in this PC/SJW world, it is becoming a crime to call out these problems. The apologist west choose feelings over fact. As it continues, the results won't be far off from what you suggest.

If you're being sued in court or tribunal, it's always a good idea to show up for the proceedings. In the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal, the overwhelming majority of applications get dismissed, but it's a little harder for that to happen if you just ignore them. It also pays not to rely on Rebel Media for your views on how the Human Rights Tribunal works.

"The Canadian government neglected him after he was captured...." Neglected him? No. What they actually did was the problem: "While the U.S. is the primary source of the deprivation, it is reasonable to infer from the uncontradicted evidence before the Court that the statements taken by Canadian officials are contributing to K’s continued detention. The deprivation of K’s right to liberty and security of the person is not in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice. "The interrogation of a youth detained without access to counsel, to elicit statements about serious criminal charges while knowing that the youth had been subjected to sleep deprivation and while knowing that the fruits of the interrogations would be shared with the prosecutors, offends the most basic Canadian standards about the treatment of detained youth suspects." ~ unanimous 2010 decision of the Supreme Court of Canada

"Mr. Khadr apologized to the families of the victims when he was released from prison in 2015. He said he rejects violent jihad and wants a fresh start to finish his education and work in health care." Suing Canada and then getting $10.5mm is not only a fresh start, it's a fairy-tale great fresh start for anyone. Let's compare two stories side by side. Mr. Khardr was born to a al-Qaeda father and was forced to fight at a young age. His future was dire given the radical extremist affiliation. The Canadian government neglected him after he was captured for harming another human being and decide to apologize and pay him $10.5mm. Mr. Joe was born to a poor family who can barely afford food and shelter and was forced to pitch in at a young age to get by. His future was dire given the inequity in our society. The Canadian government neglected him and if he was lucky to live on to have a family, the cycle continues. Somehow our "justice" only award fresh start to the extreme case.

Not hard Borme though it did require going back a few years. And yes we noted you didn't vote for Obama in 2012. But you still supported him in almost every conversation outside of your support for Johnson. You supported Polis in regards to several education commercials he ran.
4
Incorrect once again........ 1) I didn't vote for Obama in 2012. I did in 2008, and switched to Gary Johnson due to the runaway spending from both parties. I repeated that vote in 2016......for a whole slew of other reasons. 2) I live in South Central Nebraska, so no, I'm not a vocal supporter of Polis, as I have never seen his commercials, and, more importantly, don't live in his district. As a matter of fact, if I still lived where I grew up, I would not be in his district. So, while I appreciate your accusations of hypocrisy (and, like all human beings--even you--I am sure I have been hypocritical at some point in my life), this was a major fail on your part. Feel free to find posts of mine where I have voiced support for ads by Obama and Polis....but that attempt will also be ripe with failure.

No, I don't like Kurgan because he thinks he's funny and he's not. It's not witty to make outrageous statements and assign them to your adversary in a sarcastic manner. That's what children do. Now, if Kurgan is in his late teens, then I forgive him because he has not grown up yet.

I'm pretty sure that prohibitions against sexual behavior that didn't result in children were based on many years of social experimentation in which the data were conclusive that those sorts of behaviors were not only incapable of conceiving children but led to all sorts of social and cultural ills. Our own short social experiment has already shown us how deadly diseases are spawned and spread like wildfire with such acts, even with known ways to prevent them. AIDS was not the first incurable STD.

Judaic prohibitions against any sexual behavior that did not result in children were based on the instinct of tribal preservation. (I learned that long ago from a Jew.) Christianity inherited its prohibitions against non-procreative sexual activity from Judaism, so if there's to be any discussion about the Judeo-Christian tradition "accepting" LGTB behaviors (or any other non-procreative activity, for that matter) then an "honest investigation" should begin with a discussion about whether or not tribal preservation in the twenty-first century is indeed a valid reason for making gay people's lives a living hell. I submit that it is not. But please, argue away...

kiragirl> Wow, you mad at somebody today? As you said that diplomacy doesn't work in this extremely sensitive situation. The only out that the US and it's "feeble asian allies" have is to go "balls to the wall" (excuse the expression) and slam dunk NK once and for all. The "Hermit Kingdom" will be devoid of life forms for quite sometime. It is better for the US to use the "big stick" here and now. No need to let anybody know what our intentions are, just do it and look what happens after the smoke and dust clears. It will be all quiet and calm. What will the Chinese and the Russians do? Nothing but mouth off, but who cares what they think and say anymore??? Aren't they like the VFN/MSM??? They say what they want to and do what they want to, who would think that these communist countries would help the US out???? Do not be fooled by the false and half hearted efforts they make. Believe in one thing, and that's the USA. Have a nice day (HAND).

Our trade deficit is a problem that can be accepted by Americans if we knew the outcome will be positive. More American jobs and Made in USA products. End up paying more but okay as it is for the USA. Sanction everything from China and restrict travel there. We can do without China. Diplomacy is not working.

Yes, I'm flagging garbage like that ... Don't care who wrote it; keep it civil, and keep it on topic. ... But I'm also not the comment police. Civil Beat has complete control of this forum; I have no special influence. I flag comments, just like you can. ...

Brett this appeared earlier in the thread: "jerry69, your post is flat out batshit crazy, and totally false in almost every word. Gotta ask did you flag that as inappropriate or is there a different set of rules for Reyes. Compared to being called batshit crazy telling somebody they post like a high school kid is nothing. Seems like you go out of your way to humor Reyes for some reason.

Actually, we don't need to boycott chinese goods. All the President has to do it block imports. But, he won't do that. China might revoke the trademarks they granted him and Ivanka a couple of months ago. And, Jared's family probably has a lot of visa seeking rich Chinese investors in the pipeline. And, I'm sure there something Eric would like to hunt and kill in China. So, the blocking imports idea is probably not a good one.

Man, how many gullible Americans do we have, Yikes! Keep on believing everyone/anyone that are Anti-Americans, Anti-Trump, etc.. Boycott "Made in China". Tool up India and wean off China trade. Support Democracy NOT the ChiComms!

Umm...what? This isn't that difficult. Re-read what I said. I'm not against plea bargains, and I fully understand why they're necessary. What made you assume otherwise? I'm comparing their use here and in other states. There's a big difference between reducing murder 2 to involuntary manslaughter vs what happened here.
4
Um.....What did you want the State to do? The Sixth Amendment Right to a Speedy Trial, is a FEDERAL Law. Currently, we are enjoying so many CUSTOMERS of the Judicial System, that Prosecutors are FORCED to make Plea Bargains in 90% of the cases, or let the Defendant go.

Bob Rennie, condo king, is the largest supporter of both Christie Clark and Gregor Robertson. And so we have government policy driven by developers instead of by the true needs of the people who live here, work here, and pay income taxes here.

How do you report on this spike in attached housing demand and NOT cite the impact of recent BC government interference designed to juice this segment of the market? Er, I meant to say "BC Home Owner Mortgage and Equity Partnership" program. https://www.bchousing.org/housing-assistance/bc-home-partnership For reference, here are the largest donors to the BC Liberals over the last decade or so: http://vancouversun.com/business/local-business/big-corporate-donors-give-big-to-the-b-c-liberals If you're not keen to click the link, here's the short version: half of the top 20 are all about real estate/ condo development. Quid pro quo.

Pork bulgogi is $16, and it's a large enough plate for one person. As for not wanting the side dishes, that sounds like a personal problem. It's how Korean cuisine works. I happen to like every one of the side dishes there, and if there's one you particularly like, they'll bring you more of it.
4
Why is Korean food so expensive in this town? I get that we are in Alaska but $20 for a small plate of pork bulgogi and 12 side dishes I don't want just makes me eat at these places very rarely.

Based on the election results, I would say about 44%. Since then about 10% of them have come to their senses based on the current presidential ratings.

That's because the Libertarian platform and the 3rd party system is still not getting enough support. So people like Ron Paul have to run as a Republican just to be acknowledged. Duh.

I don't know any real libertarians. I do, however, know a TON of folks who claim to be libertarians to avoid admitting that they vote Republican every time they go to the polls.

says a brain washed alt left lunatic, while educated people understand resource INCLUDING fracking is a great industry that can provide high paying jobs and taxes for many lifetimes to come
10
The conclusion is hyperbolic as if to suggest that anything concocted in a university is pie in the sky. Try telling that to computer scientists who used Russell's and Whitehead's Principia Mathematica, a formal logic book concocted in a university. But to return to fact, any resource industry based on fracking is unsustainable and dangerous.

Nearly the entire post conciliar Church reeks with the stench of Vatican II's heterodoxy and modernism.
5
Followed by a swift and decisive demand that the windows letting in all that air--and that hope--be shuttered? Many will tell us--with no hint of intended irony--that fresh air (read Vatican II) brings with it the hidden pollutants of feminism, of the grating voice of the laity, of ambiguity, and of confusion. And confusion is of the devil. Better the clarity of locked windows. Small price to pay for virtue.

Who cares, Poland is another ex-soviet toxic waste dump just like North Dakota that will make us plenty of $$$ after Trump sells them more ammo to fight off the war that no one cares about or may never happen. Happens like clockwork with every (R) politician. Keep an eye out on that defense contractor sector and watch the stocks soar! BTW, just curious what election are you going to, to vote Trump out? LMAO

Poland is a foul, authoritarian government right now so it is perfect for a phony crowd ordered to be at the air[port. Tired of losing with Trump? Vote him out.
