Thanks for this. How can we ignore leftist extremists in an article who's main point is that all extremist groups should be treated equal? It's amazing how people don't see the blaring hypocrisy sometimes...

Far-left extremists threw bottles of urine at every body, why do police get special treatment?

It shows a lack of understanding of people who give their entire lives to the service of Christ and his Church. Trying to marginalize those who make that choice as weird or repressed makes it easier to attack Church teaching.

Stick to money aspect was my initial suggestion as well, I am not sure that it is easily conveyed to all canadians, but you certainly do have a point with regards to who runs cma
4
Yes. Fire or remove all the out of touch MD's who are leading these echo chamber MD advocacy groups because they will do more damage to their cause than they realize. IF MD's want to protest these tax changes, then they need to drop the "I'm special, I work harder than everybody, I don't have a pension, etc, etc" arguments which simply highlight how out of touch they are with Canadians who work equally hard and are worse off than the average doctor. The best tactic would be to stress that many physicians modelled their practices based upon a set of promised tax conditions and that changing these conditions after the fact is unfair given the fee environment. Stick to money and STOP the false comparisons to imaginary Canadians who apparently ALL have it easier and better than poor doctors, or mentioning "hours worked" as if doctors are the only professionals who work more than a 40 hour week.

IDK man, intepreting scentific evidence into actionable policy seems like a pretty important step to the reporting. Revoking a common sense policy just because it's "new" isn't a very sound justification. Should we also stop inter partes reviews because of how recently they were enacted?

"The committee was established in 2015, but its members were not appointed until last summer. They convened their first meeting in the fall." The author left this to the second to last paragraph, perhaps hoping readers would think the committee was some sort of long standing institution. I'm not sure what to think of the committee, it's usefulness, or if not renewing their charter was good or bad - but I do resent editorial writing disguised as reporting. Which is pretty much all we get anymore.

Quote" The very first thing they will do is pump down the water table of the area ( some 20 wells 2,000 feet down ) when they do this there are several rivers and streams that dry up and go away. Upper Talarik is one of these. Just the foot print alone of Pebble removes some 110 miles stream, creeks and rivers. There is a lake called Frying Pan lake ( all species of salmon ) gets removed completely. 5 toxic reservoirs, chemicals, a 2400 foot hole left to fill up when played out...." This is all false - there are no scientific facts to back this up, there is no mine plan to base this view on. Please stop spreading misinformation sir. That is pathetic and just goes to show how desperate opponents are. You will not engage in fact based debate because you know facts are not on your side. http://www.nationalcenter.org/NPA646.html

There you go with facts again... “He needs two to three years to transition from the no huddle… I’m not taking anything away from Paxton Lynch; physically, athletically, arm strength wise, hard worker, he’s got it all… but he’s got a lot to learn… He’s coming into the league knowing nothing about an NFL offense. He needs a year, two years, three years to sit, watch and learn, and that’s got to be the plan for the Denver Broncos and Paxton Lynch. You force him in right away, and it’s not going to work.” Mel Kiper Anyway, I liked the competition, and as I said earlier this year, wouldn't surprise me if Trevor wins the camp battle, also won't surprise me when we see Lynch this year as well.

A few years ago around Christmas as I went outside with some garbage I ended up standing unseen in the dark as two police officers were in discussion with an obviously disturbed man, on my quiet street, who was making threatening statements. They engaged him calmly, from a distance , asking him questions about himself, what doctor he was seeing, who his case worker was, etc. They made some light and sometimes humorous banter and eventually got the fellow to sit down and when the ambulance came, he was calm enough to get in. These were two young white officers and the disturbed middle aged man was black. I often think I witnessed what should be happening. Drawing weapons and yelling at this fellow would have escalated him for sure.

It is amazing the natives burning and destroying Canadian flags on our anniversary were the innocents when approached non-violently about it by 4 military men.......who were then kicked out of the military for questioning the Natives. Why ignore and make untouchable one group, but call for another to be charged with Treason?

He did say there were very fine people in the supremacist mob. Considering the Nazis killed over a hundred thousand Americans, it was interesting that the Nazi flag holders weren't charged with treason.

Nope. Gerrymandering affects somewhere between 5- 10 states (Pennsylvania, etc.) but for many states, particularly in the central plains/west, all the Democrats live in the one or two largest cities, and the Republicans populate the rest of the state. As a professor from the University of Wisconsin I believe, said recently, the Democrats have so concentrated themselves in cities that it has now become impossible to NOT draw district lines that are not favourable to the Republicans.
4
Lamont - I don't think that being the beneficiary of blatant gerrymandering can be described as "very equitably spread". They control 2/3 of the stare committees that set electoral district boundaries. Surprise, surprise, they win the electoral college despite being behind 3 million votes.

“The Department of Corrections’ primary concern is the safety of the missing participants..." I'm going to have to say that's a load of hogwash. The truth is more likely that 3 Afghanis made it to the US and didn't want to go back home which is totally understandable - I would do the exact same thing if I were them. And we really aren't that concerned about them because it's only three more illegal immigrants and they are NOT terror risks either so I can't get all that worked up about it either. Just how hard do you think we're trying to find them? If we catch them we'll catch them. If not, it ain't the end of the world. I say "Welcome to America" my friends.

Rep John Garamendi got it right when he questioned the point of the Afghan War Garamendi stated: “The Congress of the United States, the only of the three branches of government that has the power to wage war, has not really looked seriously at this war, entering into its 16th year and likely, according to some generals, to go on for generations,” “That’s not right” Garamendi was joined by Rep Walter Jones Jones stated: “After 16 years of being in Afghanistan, not one thing has changed,” he said. “How much more can our military do to change a nation that is known as the graveyard of empires?” Young then joined Garamendi and Jones after Garamendi wrote a bill to defund the war At the end of the day, Young voted yes on H.R. 2810: National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018, …so Young's 'stand' about having a debate in Congress before authorizing more war in Afghanistan was just talk. When it came time to vote yes or no, Young voted yes. Watch what they do, not what they say

>Having worked in the oil business in Western Canada I can say for a fact that the industry there does not "drill at any cost" Having worked in the industry you are automatically assumed to be lying because that's the only sane response to such a clear conflict of interest. If anybody was going to say what you just said, it's somebody with your background. Come back when you can cite a source that HATES the oil industry and STILL agrees with that statement. Those who make money out of something will never, ever admit any truth that could risk that money going away.
6
Having worked in the oil business in Western Canada I can say for a fact that the industry there does not "drill at any cost". There are strict government regulations that have to be followed, and significant punitive measures for not following them - including incarceration. There are many areas where oil exploration is not allowed under any circumstances. The oil business is never going to be 100% clean, but environmental damage can be mitigated by strong and effective government regulation (as exists in Canada and Norway). And there is the undeniable fact that without oil modern society would not exist, and at present there is no replacement for hydrocarbons.

You do not know what you are talking about. Please inform yourself before making such false and unfounded statements. All consulates, all over the globe, observe regular working hours. It has nothing, absolutely nothing to do with the time difference between Ottawa and SF!! Such nonsense. SF is open for business at regular SF/CA hours, like any other office or business there. By your strange world view, CDN consulates for example in Asia would never be open because, you know what, there's a 12+hrs difference!!

It is a trade consulate not an embassy and they only work three hours a day because of the time difference with Ottawa. I know I used it. It cost me a lot of money. Nothing smart about these Liberals.

I agree there are 6 interesting initiatives. However, they are all likely not able to be achieved. Pushing Pakistan may end up with a war between the US and Pakistan. Generals running a war without congressional oversight is inherently dangerous. So no forecasting of troop movements - but the opposition will know when and where and will count them as they land. NATO probably has no interest in Afghanastan. As to Afgan leaders - oh um. The only way to finish this is to win over the population. Just shooting everything that moves as US Troops are often good at (usual bad leadership at company level and kids thrown into the battle field after 10 weeks basic training.). All in all I am not very confident. Vietnam taught me to be very wary of the US.
4
Actually, there are 6 promising changes in the new administration's new plan to stabilize Afghanistan. No guarantees but these changes are long overdue and give the mission a chance. Key is pressuring Pakistan using the India card and the threat of withdrawing US financial aid to stop being a haven and enabler for Islamist groups in Afghanistan. 2nd is to let the generals and the forces on the ground manage the war and have the right tools and rules to do so. (Whatever you might think of Obama as president, he was a lousy general.) 3rd is to stop laying out military planning and operational details and timelines in the media for the convenience of the enemy. 4th is to get the other NATO allies in this war to step up their efforts substantially. 5th is to put Afghanistan leaders and forces on notice that this is not a blank cheque operation extending through infinity. 6th is to refrain from the nation building stuff that has proven costly, problematic and divisive. Worth a try

Mr. Merrifield posts (pastes) this same bit of odd commentary to any (every) media forum featuring climate topics. He uses a variety of screen names, but the identifying signature is in the repetition of that same less-than-coherent message. And while that is most definitely covered under the "whatever floats your boat" policy, you may not find a great depth of water under that boat.

The Pacific fleet has been ramping up readiness and increasing drills and exercises for a couple years now. First, in response to China building and declaring the artificial islands as territory, now with the North Korean threat building. So it's not hard to speculate that the increase in incidents is due to an increase in live drills and exercises.
4
No idea what it is but something is definitely afoot, this is apparently the 4th or 4th such incident since January.

I was in Alliance (Carhenge), and we too had heavy fog during our morning trek from Sterling. We were prepared to move elsewhere if the skies hadn't started to clear by about 9am. Thankfully, the sun burned off the fog and the clouds were pushed away by a Westerly breeze and totality was completely unobscured in Alliance. The drive home was largely uneventful, it took us 5hrs to make the normal 4hr drive. That extra hour was all during the first portion of the drive, getting from Alliance south to Bridgeport. After that, we had normal drive times all the way to Denver.
4
We tried to go to Stapleton NE, but drove into a fog bank. After that, we headed north to Scottsbluff. Smooth sailing both ways. I feel sorry for the poor sods on I-25 today, but the show sure was spectacular! We were awed watching it unfold. As with so many things, pictures don't do it justice.

No, one wants to pay down debt.

Which means simply that the government extracted more from British Columbians than was necessary to meet expenses. The excess should be applied in reduction of the Province's debt.

"But I wouldn't be surprised if the tribunal process found them to be legitimate refugees either." - that would be interesting, seeing as how Canada has already given our share of those refugees notice..
4
Except for these migrants, we know who they are. The press has been reporting on them extensively. They're Haitians who were welcomed in the U.S to escape a country devastated and still recovering from the 2010 earthquake. And now they're afraid that Trump will end that program and get kicked out. I don't work for the immigration and refugee board and am no expert on such matters. But I wouldn't be surprised if the tribunal process found them to be legitamite refugees either.

@Tony..1: Good points but I think you also get my point, which comes to the same thing in different words. But using your phrasing, the government should roll over less debt and not use the "surplus" as funding for new spending Alas, that is what the NDP has promised to do - eliminate MSP premiums which is the same thing as a tax expenditure.
4
The government SHOULD take in more than is necessary to meet expenses when the economy is near its strongest, which it likely it right now. And any "surplus" has already been applied against the Provincial net debt before it has even been counted, it kind of has to be. The Province is constantly rolling over its debt to meet current financing needs, so more money coming in automatically means less new debt is required. That isn't to say some politician won't announce new spending for the future based on past surpluses, but they can't go back in time to capture the revenue already received. Now, all this being said, keep in mind that a "surplus" does not necessarily mean that there is more money coming in then going out. BC, like all Provinces, does not count all of their spending in the "expenses" column. Capital spending on infrastructure, in particular, tends to be excluded.

Well said, Gary. It's incredible anyone here today would try to find some way to minimize or defend the Nazis. But it's been some 72 years since the end of WWII and Nazi Germany, so many have either forgotten or never learned how evil it was and why we had to fight them. Here's a modern piece of Nazi propaganda currently on youtube- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHnssF6XwYg For those lacking knowledge about Nazi Germany, it might be rather persuasive, and no doubt it is appealing to their darker more primitive sides. The title, "Adolf Hitler Rede gegen die Satanische neu Weltordnung" ("Adolf Hitler speaks on the Satanic New World Order") is demonstrated by superimposing an old Hitler speech ranting about the Western Allies on video of various modern Jewish leaders and activities, proving that "Jews rule the world" and cause all the problems. While there are many great historic WWII videos on youtube, this isn't one of them--it's just twisted anti-Semitic propaganda.

"The leader of the American Nazi Party has said the election of Donald Trump as president would present “a real opportunity for people like white nationalists” to start “acting intelligently”, with the aim of building a mainstream political presence similar to that of the Congressional Black Caucus." (from The Guardian) Let's be clear; the American Nazi Party is white supremacist and anti-Jewish. It's also totally supportive of Donald J. Trump which whom's policies and comments they agree. They do exist. Emboldened by Mr. Trump's election, they increasingly see themselves as a "mainstream" element of American politics......oh good, that's so comforting....Gary Crum

It's because this is where the hills and trees are, which are great for hiking and parks. Kind of hard to create something as nice as the Ridgeline Trail in The Whit.
4
It's a problem that is not easily dismissed. When a little while back I mentioned here that park bonds benefitted primary South Eugene for that same reason, I was answered in this comment section that I should come to South Eugene to enjoy the backdoor benfits they can merely walk to because it's meant for everyone. The money often seems to end up being spent to the direct benefit of South Eugene, while the less comfortable things, as you suggest, are better "over there." It may not only be about where government workers live. It could be about other things. It could also be about preserving the real estate values for those influencing the city - you know - that good old fashioned groovy value, greed.

The speed humps are marked in two ways - large white "chevrons" painted directly on the surface as well as signage saying "Speed Hump" with an arrow pointing down toward the hump. Older versions had slightly different marking systems. Early on our neighborhood had passed pettions to "Fire Gate" two streets; at the time AFD/APD had no heartburn since as AFD put it well - "We would not use this route anyhow, it's too slow!" Speeders view through a different lens; perceiving the cut through as shorter when it really is not. The speed humps encourage speeders to either slow down or avoid them entirely by taking the route served with collector class facilities.
4
JW907: You raise some important and fiscally responsible concerns with your comment. As a former police supervisor, I only have one primary issue, aren't the 'speedbumps' marked in some way (i.e. yellow paint) such that everyone can see them as they approach one? If not, they should be so marked. Secondly, I am somewhat surprised that the Traffic Engineers have not designated certain routes as emergency routes and where they are so designated, no 'speedbumps' are used to slow traffic (those routes get the old-fashioned speed reduction methods (i.e. traffic enforcement using radar, etc.). Where this is coordinated between the responsible entities, the end result is a good bit of fiscally responsible speed reduction while providing good emergency routes for those that must rely on speed to properly and efficiently do their respective jobs.

Your suggestion that Mr. Dalton is a member of the Black Riders is disingenuous Bill Hooper 651 as nothing in his posts indicates that he supports anything radical but if he did there'd be nothing wrong with that. I support the aims of the Black Riders. I'm a radical. Radicalism has a long history in the United States, and without it, American democracy would be weaker. William Lloyd Garrison, the famous abolitionist was an American radical as was Mary Wollstonecraft. Both were patriotic Americans who improved the lives of Americans and made the United States the great country--contrary to what Trump supporters claim-- that it is. Your ignorance doesn't scare me. I doubt it scares anyone.

And Peace be unto you , too, Athanasius . Looks as if I have not been clear . My objection was to "cure" . I prefer "heal " . And guarantee is too commercial for me . Indeed not a one of us escapes addiction ! And our hope rests in Jesus ' love and power to save . " my solution " ? When I broke my arm my friends drove me to the ER where the arm was put in a cast . Had I been someplace where I was alone in a wilderness I'd have had to accept my lot while trusting that come what may all is welcome . Life is not a problem to be solved rather a mystery to be lived . ( heard that a long time ago ) . We all need to discern our calling as best we can . That way we will become very good at it rather than making ourselves square pegs in round holes . There is nothing but wholesome ness in the married calling . It is tremendously challenging ! God invented it . It is holy . A school of holiness . I did not understand your reference to " bogus vow " .

Wow, Loy...so I guess we'll have to assume that whoever"god"is to you, he/she must be powerless. I myself have been plagued by various addictions(drugs,alcohol,smoking, etc.) and the Lord our God has delivered me from ALL OF THEM. I have been celibate for almost 40 years, so these priests must be taking some kind of bogus vow.If one seeks the Holy Spirit empowered gift of celibacy,it will be granted to them, AND God Himself will maintain it. After all,being celibate is not man/woman's natural state, so naturally supernatural power is required to enter into such a state. Frankly, I'm surprised that the so-called Roman Catholic Church doesn't seem to be able to grasp that. So...save the psychobabble, Loy. The Indwelling Jesus the Christ is the priests' answer, nothing else. Besides,haven't they already tried your solution? 😊--PEACE IN CHRIST.

No, I don't deny the Holocaust of WW2. 6,000,000 Jews murdered for just being Jewish. The Pope and others did not look the other way. He saved thousands of Jews from certain death. He knew Hitler was evil, but dangerous and he had to act discreetly. Hitler's ultimate goal was the destruction of all religion, . Including the Pope's and the Pope knew it. . Hitler managed to manipulate a German population who had lost faith in their leaders and their religion after the First World War, a brutal war reparations after the treaty of Versailles left the country broke. To top it all off inflation reached a point where their money was worthless. Hitler exploited a vacuum in German a society that had lost their faith and morals to the point where the Devil himself could become their savior. They did, indeed, make a deal with a National Socialist Devil and it resulted in a humiliating and costly defeat. Millions dead and a whole generation lost forever. No, I don't deny the Holocaust

The Dems should have gone with Bernie who have been a fresh voice and would have routed the Rep candidate easily at the polls. Democrats and LPC supporters have to wake up to what motivated someone to vote for change in 2016. Blaming the loss on conspiracies and outside people is a recipe for disaster in 2020.

I didn't watch this speech, but I'll have to check another ten sources or so before I believe what this 'report' says. When the 'reporter' opens with "President Donald Trump opened his political rally in Phoenix with calls for unity and an assertion that "our movement is about love." Then he erupted in anger.", she has inserted her own subjective bias. This bias follows the media playbook and is a foreword to the reader to set up the narrative to follow. The media in the U.S. continues to try and shape the conversation and they really don't need to. Trump makes his own problems for the public to see and decide if it is good or bad.

Fortunately our government is controlled by democrats. If republicans controlled everything, chances are you would not be able to vote if you are a minority.

He did use much the same approach calling for unity and love between all Americans.
4
On June 17, 2015 a white supremacist by the name of Dylann Roof massacred nine black worshippers in an African-American church in Charleston, SC. Far from condemning Dylann Roof, or even condemning his ideology, Obama praised the forgiveness shown towards Roof by relatives of the victims. "The alleged killer could not imagine how the city of Charleston, under the good and wise leadership of Mayor Riley – how the state of South Carolina, how the United States of America would respond – not merely with revulsion at his evil act, but with big-hearted generosity and, more importantly, with a thoughtful introspection and self-examination that we so rarely see in public life." Trump is being savaged for not condemning white supremacists forcefully enough. Yet Obama was admired for speaking of forgiveness and introspection over the same issue. Can you imagine what would be said if Trump had used Obama's same approach?

"in 40 per cent of cases there was no clear ideological motivation" That totally strains the credibility of your "recent academic research"! I hope we can agree on the following: Right-wing terror exists. Left-wing terror exists. Islamic terror exists. Organised groups carry out attacks with logistical support and widespread applause. Loners carry out attacks with no support and no applause and no allies. Mentally ill people carry out attacks that look like terror. And I hope we can agree: It is wrong to blame right-wing peaceful democrats for right-wing terror. It is wrong to blame left-wing peaceful democrats for left-wing terror. It is wrong to blame peaceful anti-extremist Muslims for Islamic terror. http://markhumphrys.com/left.right.violence.html

CSIS highlights white supremacist threat ahead of radical Islam Citing recent academic research, the unclassified documents note extreme right-wing and white supremacist ideology has been the “main ideological source” for 17 per cent of so-called lone wolf attacks worldwide. Islamic extremism accounted for 15 per cent of such attacks, the document noted, while left-wing extremism and “black power” groups followed with 13 per cent. Anti-abortion activism (8 per cent) and nationalism/separatism (7 per cent) rounded out the list, while in 40 per cent of cases there was no clear ideological motivation. "The threat from the far right in Canada is real," Ryan Scrivens, one of the new report's authors and PhD candidate at Simon Fraser University, told VICE News. "It doesn't get the same kind of attention and publicity that Islamic extremist groups get, but they have, historically, done more damage in Canada."

There is a reasonable expectation of security that was being met here. Driving a vehicle through a doorway is not something that is easily guarded against. Better question-what do you propose should be the punishment for those caught and convicted of these types of smash and grabs, like the kids caught in the other case? Are you for extremely harsh mandatory sentencing?

LOL at "manor". Obviously their manor wasn't secured well enough. And cars are primarily used for transportation. Killing people with cars is rare despite what happened in Charlottesville. The primary purpose of guns is to kill things. Gun owners - including stores - should secure their firearms and keep them out of the hands of people who would use them for their primary purpose - to kill things.

According to ITEP, Hawai`i ranks number two, among all U.S. States, in taxing low- and moderate-income families. . Hawai`i Appleseed reported that, “Residents in Hawai`i are faced with a number of severe economic challenges to attaining and maintaining self-sufficiency. Our residents earn the lowest average-adjusted income in the country. Yet, our state has the highest cost of living in the United States.” . A Ward Research poll issued in 2017 found similar results. The majority of Neighbor Island residents favored expansion of the GET to pay for rail, while the majority of O`ahu residents did not. . Tulchin Research, a nationally recognized polling firm, conducted a poll in March, 2017, and found that 49% of O`ahu voters opposed rail, while only 45% supported rail.

It is an unfortunate balance of the scales at this point for those anti-rail. Right now this is about the extent they can make in regard to their arguments - getting in the paper, maybe having one of their own make a soundbite on the evening news. You have to know that the pro-rail folks are rolling out their promotion which is full of money, slick, full of surveyed opinions and will be unrelenting in promoting the rail throughout the special session. This is why guys like Dennis, Randy, Panos, Natalie and others who are part of the small anti-rail hui have been hitting the media hard...they know they are outspent the second pro-rail comes in. That is why they are here.

Coming soon: the bishops will be saying that anyone who doesn't support amnesty and open borders is a racist. It has already happened in Mexico, where the Archdiocese went on the record to say that the U.S.' enforcement of immigration law is "terrorism."
11
To what lengths may we go to 'combat' racism?? Must we give 'permits' for Nazi demonstrators? Is 'hate speech' to be freely allowed? Can we physically stop it? What can we do to stop a march of the KluKluxKlan?? Talk is nice, so far as it goes. But there are times when some sort of physical resistance might be in order. Loud mouth racists do present a problem. We might advocate the right of free speech, but there are limits. The moral dilemma is how to determine what those limits are, and how to enforce them.

Oh no! Unprecedented!...Or not. Figures for asylum claimants across Canada this year is projected to be 36,616. And- how is this possible? It was 36920 in 2008 when the Harper Government was in power and that was before the complications of the Trump administration. It was higher in other years as well but 3 of the highest years were during the Harper government when the very Conservative MPs now running around with their hair on fire were calling the shots. Rank hypocrisy? Looks like it.

Good points, the smug patronizing arrogance from Trudeau is insulting to Canadians. We aren't blind, our border controls are a joke and the Liberals are trying to paint anyone who opposes illegal migration as the right wing fringe - are they serious? It's not that hard to understand, migrants are willfully breaking law and are being rewarded with a bunch of free stuff. The latest response has been to "educate"/ask migrants not to cross illegally - but admitting that if they do cross, they will be welcomed with open arms immediately. Suppose they try to enter through official channels? They will be refused entry. This started happening in January and the Liberals say the summer crossings were impossible to predict? After the thousands of success stories from breaking the law, it's surprising more migrants aren't coming to Canada illegally -they have absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain, including citizenship. Trudeau doesn't care, his new taxes will pay for it...

Layla, where does the 60K come from? The maximum child benefit, the tax free one, is 6,400 per year for each child under 6. It would take 9 kids, all under 6, to approach that figure.

No HOA's in most places in Denver. None in Westcliffe or any of towns around that I know of. A HOA is a sign your local government is failing to do their job. I don't care if my neighbor has art in his or her yard. We got them around here. No odder to then the person who goes and weeds every day.
4
I hope you aren't planning to buy a new house then. New communities go HOA because banks prefer lending to HOA communities--they are more stable and maintained. No need for a 200-pg document. I've been through two separate HOA covenant rewrites, both about 45 pages. Documents should be updated at least every ten years, and with input from the community. If you're indifferent to participating in the governance of your place, that's on you.

[A shut down harms the populace a lot more than Congress.] That might just be what he's shooting for (even though it is pretty easy to conclude Democrats will help override a veto of a budget without any wall included). People have a tendency to vote their pocketbook and if it comes to personal accountability Trump is sitting prettier than most. Trump's base has demonstrated a lot more blind loyalty than most Senators' and Representatives' have.

I've only been to one protest - I didn't actually go to it, but it came to me and quite frankly none of us were sure what they were protesting. They didn't seem very organized but they did manage to set something on fire in the middle of the street. It was just weird. It's been a while but IIRC there were about 50 protesters tops there were at least half as many cops. The protesters were what would probably be called "antifa" but I hadn't heard that term at the time. I just thought they were a bunch of confused anarchists. I don't even think they managed to break any windows. I didn't even see any arrests although one cop told me I couldn't stand in front of the building where I worked - until I told him I worked there and then he left me alone. Seriously, I was wearing a tie. Did he really think I was a protester? I was just watching the freakshow. "I went down to the demonstration to get my fair share of abuse..." - Mick Jagger

My brother used to go to things like the WTO protests. He pointed out that antifa, the current incarnation of the anarchists that have been violent at protests for years, have learned how to fight a very organized opponent (the police). The white supremacists, while they think they know what they are doing, were just outclassed by folks who have been doing this crap for years. It comes back to the Mike Tyson line, "everybody has a plan until they get punched in the nose". The anarchists know what they are doing when it comes to street fights, the white supremacists don't.

LOL..."fact" and "probably" in the same breath. Good one. I read the best analogy recently on these boards, between the Presidential race and football. To win, one must get the most electoral college votes...i.e. points. Individual votes are like yards gained on offense. Trump scored the most points, with Clinton gaining the most yards. I doubt it's much consolation, tho'.

Fact 1: Hillary STILL won the popular vote. Fact 2: The Comey letter probably cost Hillary the election.

"The hypocrite turns Christ's teachings to serve his own purpose." Yessssss...

I am glad to see the hypocrites out in numbers. It is not your place to judge others, it is your place to turn the other cheek. Forgiveness is not yours to give. Christ teaches love and harmony on earth as it is in heaven. The hypocrite turns Christ's teachings to serve his own purpose.

Not by myself. There are millions more who are against what the President is trying to do. If dividing the country is what you call land of the laws boy are we heading in the wrong direction.

Your comment shows you have no understanding of how millions of people feel. You only feel yourself. Many people believe we should be a land of laws and law abiding people.

*at the behest

I gather Vegter would make an argument that anti-apartheid were essentially criminals. Or is he deliberately conflating illegal with immoral to suit his destroy-everything-in-the-pursuit-of-profits agenda? The status quo favours and protects big energy at the expense of the environment (the latter of which will persist long after Norwegians, that Ivo is so sympathetic to, have died) and the behest of oil lobbyists. They have an army of lawyers that Greenpeace, who rely on charity and donations, have no chance of matching in the courts. So what legal recourse is there really? And what difference does it make once oil companies like Shell have wreaked havoc on places like the Gulf of Mexico. "I submit that an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for law" ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.

Apparently liberals believe they can change suffering and unhappiness by increasing government control, despite a cornucopia of evidence associating such behaviour with increased levels of misery. The lack of any sophisticated sense of humour is perhaps the least of their worries.
4
So basically, conservatives are happy because they can ignore the suffering and unhappiness around them while liberals want to do something about it so that everyone can be happy. In that case I'm sure Justice Zabel will be starting each day in court with a 10 minute set of stand up concluding with a recommendation to try the veal. Or, as has actually happened, he could realize that his "joke" was inappropriate in a court of law. Thanks for clearing that up Layla. Not that it has anything to do with the subject at hand.

You miss the point. Prosecutors call children "children" when it suits their agenda. It's a clear attempt to incite outrage with the public so as to lock someone away forever. While such may or may not be a fair tactic, what is clearly not right is that they talk out of both sides of their mouths: the same person they call a "child" when it suits them suddenly becomes an incorrigible criminal, deserving of adult status the next day - again, if it suits their agenda. The point here is...be cautious about believing everything you read, lest you get duped.

Jon Venables and Robert Thompson, both aged 10, kidnapped a 2-year-old boy away from his mom at a shopping mall and led him to some local train tracks where they beat him to death with their fists, feet, and a length of rod-iron bar. Neither boy ever showed any remorse. Due to the law at the time, both were released on their 18th birthdays and now live under assumed names. They might be your neighbors. They might be your coworkers. No way of knowing. All we know for sure is that their victim never got a chance at life. But forget him, right? Justice for him is a "double standard."

"Hate Speech" is opinion that some hate to hear. Some prefer censorship over freedom of expression. Freedom of expression means idiots and fools get to have their say. Idiots and fools are not to be censored by other idiots and fools.

That's ridiculous. Most of the HOA neighborhoods are way out in conservative suburbs. I live in liberal Stapleton and we have an HOA for pools, parks and activities, but the HOA has no say over your house color/lawn/landscape. You can paint your house pink and grow corn in your front yard if you want to.
10
I like to think of an HOA as liberal fascism at its finest. Typical top down, live in these guidelines, no free speech, plain vanilla existence. This guy is a freedom fighter against that fascism.

If any school needs to be re-named, it's those that are named after a member of the Monarchy, not those that are named after important flawed Canadian figures.

Naming a building, or creating a statue to represent someone is a way of bestowing honour on them. Is it revisionist history to remove that honour? Do the great deeds done for one group outweigh the harm done to another? At what point do we decide that the harm is too great? These questions are not as easy to answer as one might think. Most of the schools in my area are named after British kings, queens, princes, and princesses. Perhaps we could rename these too? Surely there are Canadians who deserve the honour of having a school named after them?
