Its interesting how this debate turns in to a Canadian values argument even though Khadr was in fact living the lesser values of Afghan life.

Bottom line is that Toronto is NOT just any other city. It's unique in Canada. The prices here are what they are due to a unique mix of factors and pressures based on a real economy and desire for people to live here. Similar types of factors that drive similar types of prices in New York, London, San Francisco, high-end Chicago and LA. Like those places, prices will certainly ebb and flow with government regulation changes, the overall economy, inflation, employment, interest rates and great recessions. However, over time, the desire to live in a place (that is, actual supply and demand) is the only factor driving the housing market. | 4 | Point of no return has been reached.

25-35 year olds can't afford to start families, and if they do they are so tight on cash that they are lucky to save 200$ a month.
There is nothing to justify these prices, population growth is steady, and there has been nothing happening in Toronto to bring money in, no big infrastructure projects nor have we become Silicon Valley North....or did I miss some news about an oil field in Mississauga?

Morguard and Hunt dealt with the enforcement of judgments between Canadian provinces, which under Canadian law have the jurisdiction to regulate enforcement of foreign judgments with respect to most areas of law. However, the Supreme Court specifically noted in Morguard the need in the modern world economy “to facilitate the flow of wealth, skills and people across state lines in a fair and orderly manner.” As such, these cases must be considered in assessing the issue of the enforcement of foreign judgments in Canada.
Canada’s lower courts have almost universally applied the Morguard principles of enforceability to judgments originating outside Canada’s borders. This extension of Morguard has considerably simplified the enforcement procedure for foreign litigants.

: forecasting the ultimate destiny of the world : prophetic apocalyptic warnings: foreboding imminent disaster or final doom : terrible apocalyptic signs of the coming end-times.

Everyone knows the answer: it’s because there is a lot of overseas money held in Vancouver real estate. It’s been encouraged on a local, provincial and federal level since Expo ’86, and has seen an unprecedented acceleration since the Olympics in 2010. It’s just reality, and the truth is just the truth."

I can see more and more use for teleconference rather than actual visits, or perhaps triaging for the minor emergencies to be handled by non doctors, community or mobile nursing, midwives (are not as popular in Canada). Tough decision for doctors to remain in Canada when the USA pays far more, capitalism and all that. With boomers retiring, something has to change or at least attitudes. | 4 | Yet whenever someone suggests changes to the status quo, we get screams of "We don't want American Health Care!" - as if there were no other options on the planet.
BTW, when compared to a larger cohort of Western countries, we do even worse. Canada ranks 23d and the USA 27th.

Do any other animals do it? To such an extent that a few families hold 95% of the worlds wealth? A company only hiring at minimum wage and part time so no benefits are paid, has Sam Waltons heirs that after dividing the wealth, were still in the top 10 richest folks in America?
Luckily Warren Buffet and Bill Gates have at least inspired other billionaires into giving their wealth away.
Greed is Good is a Wall Street slogan, but destruction when the big revolution hits, and the innocent animals die in the fallout.

Actually, it is not legal. Citizens are not legally obliged to produce ID when for eg. simply walking down the street. In fact, one is not obliged to answer any questions from police even when arrested and charged with a crime. | 5 | Here is a better idea; why doesn't the G&m shine a light on Desmond Cole? Who is he that he is embraced without qualification by the author and the G&M. From what I know he rose to fame by stating that he had been checked more than 50 times by the Toronto Police, but the G&M never checked into that. Rather they allowed themselves to become the billboard for his anti-police campaign in Toronto. Now he has switched the venue to Alberta, and is using new buzz words, ensuring that he is pitching aboriginal women as the victims of the oppressors known as the police.
Nowhere do I see the G&M seeking the police side of street checks, a perfectly legal exercise of police duties. Rather they do as they did on the sexual assault issue, jump in with both feet and don't let the truth get in the way of a good 'investigative' story.
So, by all means folks, buy into what they are selling. In the end you will get the policing you deserve. Not much, if you subscribe to his ideas. | [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] | [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] | [45426626, 45450604, 45394434, 45397010, 45388025] |

5,596,909 | [0, 0, 0, 0] | Yes, Doc. The bottom line is this: until RE sales are contingent on scrutiny of income taxes paid, there will be no meaningful tracking of foreign money that is funnelled into housing, property or anything else. Analysis of the FBT numbers only tell us about declared foreign purchasers, not all the purchasers who are backed with foreign money but who don't fit into the narrow definition of "foreign buyer." Surely John Andrews could have pointed that out. But then again, as Director of Queen’s University’s Executive Seminars on Corporate and Investment Real Estate, he is likely too closely connected to the RE industry, which self-interestedly downplays the pervasiveness of foreign capital in the GTA and Vancouver markets and the negative effects of this for locals. Glad to see some comments by Josh Gordon were included in the article, as they are a welcome counterweight to that spin. | 4 | No, editors, it is not the sale of real estate to "foreign buyers" that captures what is REALLY at issue. You are confusing readers with your narrow and partial reporting.
What is key is the sale to OVERSEAS MONEY of real estate. That MUCH LARGER entity is NOT captured by the phrase "foreign buyers": The two are not the same, and this paper ought to spell that out.
Look, OVERSEAS MONEY has been flooding into Toronto and Vancouver from many sources, among them the investor immigrants through the now ended federal program, investor immigrants through the Quebec investor immigrant program, multi-year visa programs that Trudeau has been expanding, student children of millionaires working overseas, and so on.
Many of those folks hold Canadian passports, the students even Canadian birth certificates. So informed people see that OVERSEAS MONEY is key. Not foreigners. Not foreign interests. OVERSEAS MONEY.

In January 2013, the Russian atomic energy agency, Rosatom, had taken over a Canadian company with uranium-mining stakes stretching from Central Asia to the American West. The deal made Rosatom one of the world’s largest uranium producers and brought Mr. Putin closer to his goal of controlling much of the global uranium supply chain.

5,597,634 | [0, 0, 0, 0] | @Alceste - how much more would you like on the remedy? There is plenty of material posted that speaks to your comments.
Is it your view that once the SCC ruled on the initial Charter breaches that Khadr should have been let off scot-free? Without due regard for all of the other parameters in the situation? Your posts certainly suggest that.
Further, those other parameters would be considered as offsets in any damages claim.
As to not bringing him back immediately, given the totality of the circumstances, I already posted this:
quote:
"e.g. would there have been an ability to bring him back to Canada and restrict him consistent with the Youth Justice Act while the Courts worked through the Charter questions.
Up to a certain point in time, he was in a bed of his own making, but holding someone indefinitely to establish a Charter test case isn't (in my opinion) the right answer either."

Where, exactly, is my alleged endorsement for keeping K in GITMO? | 4 | You continued with your argument, not even beginning to address mine on the nature of the 2010 remedy (main point), or the length of time he was there.
Whether or not the US was going to release him early on - in the actual circumstances - is hardly the point - the point is that Canada participated in that early on, then bloody-mindedly chose not to ask later. If you think there would be no remedy for that, why do you think the SCC wrote what it did?
To say that 'it was inferred by the SCC but not proven that the Charter breaches exacerbated Khadr's situation' is quite the statement. What do you think the SCC itself would think of it?
"we conclude on the record before us that Canada’s active participation in what was at the time an illegal regime has contributed and continues to contribute to Mr. Khadr’s current detention, which is the subject of his current claim."
