You ask the question "where is the rest of the family" but spend not a second considering some likely answers ? I guess you're assuming they just don't care ? It suits you to assume the worst because nothing suits conservatives more than to always assume the poor are poor because of bad decisions or irresponsible behavior - despite overwhelming proof that this is not, almost ever, the case. Just some of the likely options: they are dead, perhaps the child's mother was just another victim of our high murder-rate, perhaps she died from disease and our inability to provide quality healthcare to all. Perhaps she is in prison for some minor drug offense that harmed nobody else. You're not witnessing a lack of familial responsibility. The facts we have is proof OF that very responsibility. A grandmother raising her grandchildren despite her own poverty - suggests that there was nobody else to raise them, but she stepped up and is doing so. Trust the poor, not the rich.

The fact that it went to Court was illustrative of there being many 'facts', many of which have nothing to do with housing... for example an elderly lady with 5 grandchildren.... where is the rest of the family. As I understand it, the housing list exceeds 400,000... and that just Cape Town. Every city has the same issue and it is wholly unaffordable for every city and the Government. ..... It cannot be that everyone is automatically entitled to a free house or that land can be stolen from others.

This article is not about detailing the specific changes that can be made to prepare for global warming and other climate changes. This article simply promotes the idea that preparing for climate change makes good sense on many levels. Do you think it is possible that big $ energy might be spreading a wee bit of hoax propaganda to provide ammunition for the climate deniers because national policies to combat climate change would be very bad for the profit margins of fossil fuel industry giants.

Come on, specify the preparations you espouse and efficacy of envisioned preparations in mitigating anticipated adverse effects.

Why does the government need to be involved in the first place? You get a flat tire, you want your MP to change it?

I think what some of you are missing is the response time by the Canadian Government in comparison to many, many other countries. The same could be said for tourists caught there from all over, but our government took much longer to respond than other countries. And they only seemed to get their butts in gear once it hit the media. THAT is what the issue for many is.

I should have been more clear. I consider outsourcing to be sending the functions abroad or to foreign base companies. I mean I realize the DOD buys glocks but IT services? Yeesh.

There are some governmental functions that lend themselves to outsourcing, and some that do not. All avenues should be explored for the sake of expediency and cost. But no function should ever be outsourced to companies in foreign countries or to persons who are not U.S. citizens..

The police were not so "befuddled" & thus she was criminally charged.

We don't know if it was a CCW situation or not. Two we don't know she escalated the situation. Three we don't know positions relative to the car, Aka we know essentially nothing and people are making up their own facts and stories... stories that may very easily be wrong. That's the problem.

Really? Would the Republican Party being any better given its close, very close, ties to the wealthy and the big businesses they control and a long history of ignoring the little people except when they need to win elections? I very much doubt it. Now, I am not saying that the current motley crew of Democratic politicians are any better given that many of them are as self-serving as the Republicans. We need a new party that truly represents the little people, I included, and one staffed with people who can think outside the box on how to deal with Oahu's traffic jams with a willingness to sacrifice sacred cows.

The moral of the story? How the one-political-party ruined Hawaii.

Contrary to your comment, the link that you cite supports the points I made in my letter. It says, "We also conclude that it is likely that climate warming will cause hurricanes in the coming century to be more intense globally and to have higher rainfall rates than present-day hurricanes." It also says, "Sea level rise must also be considered as a way in which human-caused climate change can impact Atlantic hurricane climate–or at least the impacts of the hurricanes at the coast. The vulnerability of coastal regions to storm-surge flooding is expected to increase with future sea-level rise and coastal development." I did not mention frequency of hurricanes in my letter, which is the focus of the article that you cite. The article says that a connection between warming and frequency of hurricanes is not established. Must I conclude that either you did not read the letter, or did not read the NOAA article, or perhaps prefer to throw sand in the eyes of your readers?

Larry, Much of what you've stated falls under 'common sense' (a rare human attribute these days), yet the science isn't yet providing the proof to support your stated opinion. Not enough of a record to date, with to boot that record being rather sparse and noisy. https://www.gfdl.noaa.gov/global-warming-and-hurricanes/

How do you know that she wasn't using her RRSP or TFSA already? This has been one of Trudeau's many weak arguments to justify that the 'middle class' won't be hurt by this. Many business owners took calculated risks based on all possible tools and incentives available at the time, and now Trudeau wants to pull the rug out in mere months.

Instead of cutting expenses, she could invest in herself - take out an RRSP - reduce her tax exposure and save money at the same time - her son might not agree though.

I like the part where you assume NK can actually aim a ballistic missile and hit that target. Or that nuking New York doesn't matter to Canada. We can all just look away and hold our breath - ignore the radiation - nothing to see here. The real question is - does anyone believe we should be protected while contributing nothing to the actual defense ourselves? Not a chance. Our shield is happy thoughts of sunny days and the fact that it's the current year and our leader is about as smart as a fern plant. ummm ahhh. Maybe we can make a shield of Canadian loonie coins to deflect a missile. Maybe we can give all the liberal social justice warriors jet packs and they can orbit in space and shame the missiles away.

Does anyone really believe that if NK does develop ICBMs capable of reaching the mainland U.S. it would waste one on Canada? There are no military targets worth hitting in this country. And does anyone truly believe that the Americans would let a nuclear device explode near their borders if they could possible stop it? Wind and radioactivity do not respect lines on a map. Another click bait story from the G&M.

That's exactly backwards. It's the State that is fascist and it NEVER advocates austerity for any but it's taxpayers.

Why should anyone find the claims that these cuts were 'accidental' to be creditworthy? This is functionally an attack upon our liberal democracy and civilization. Let those responsible be identified and held to account, and let us overcorrect this wilful error, for those institutions are like pillars supporting this community and their funding was already too anemic. Austerity is a fascist ploy to subvert, weaken, and enslave an otherwise prosperous and free society. It is an intolerable affront and its champions are monstrous. The emperor wears no clothes.

How exactly would you like me to do that? When I see that people are smoking on the sidewalk, I will cross the street or hold my breath as I walk (or run if I'm working out) by to avoid having to smell and feel its effects on me. Yes I can physically tell when I've inhaled tobacco smoke. Not to mention that it can leave a smell on me that I can notice afterwards sometimes. I know plenty of other people that feel the same way and we shouldn't have to put up with something like that on public land in a congested, urban area.

Marc, I'm really sick and tired of employees who have never run a business and know nothing of taxes posting idiotic comments like "take out an RRSP". This family LIVES this problem EVERY DAY and guess what, I bet you she knows how to run her business just fine. Currently, if she takes her money out of the corp to build her RRSP, her cash-flow drops. What if she needs it next year because sales are slow? Too bad, she can't re-invest in her business because her money is locked in her RRSP. She knows what she is doing. What she can't deal with is catastrophic tax changes that messes with her entire business model. And yes, it IS a business model to be able to keep already taxed business income in the corporation for future growth and dividend distribution.

Instead of cutting expenses, she could invest in herself - take out an RRSP - reduce her tax exposure and save money at the same time - her son might not agree though.

Yes, RD, you have certainly pegged Cardinal Burke. I didn't realize that you were capable of such discernment.

He's primarily political. What he chooses to do and not do is based on political calculus. He salts his agenda and photo ops with just the right mix of talk about "openness" and "the evils of rigidity" with head nods to Our Lady, St Joseph, the Rosary, and even the Latin Mass, just not this week. And even satan now and then. Keeping things in balanced. I bet there's a spreadsheet updated daily.

Why should the US defend us from a missile attack when we said we didn't want to participate? I think that means we said no to being defended by the anti-missile system. No means NO. Actual crucial point: None of you read the article. Global affairs says NK perceives Canada as "...a potential friend that has the ear of the US". No where does it say word one about how we perceive NK.

Read it again. You missed the crucial point. Why are we defending the US when the US isn't defending us?

Where have I defended her? (This ought to be interesting.) Which laws did she break? I do love to argue because I like facts and the truth, something that guarantees that I cannot be a Republican.

"Need proof that she entered illegally." Why are you so willing to defend someone who, buy their own admission, broke several laws? Do you feel sympathy for her, or do you simply love to argue? I would guess it's the latter.

Because if a business owner pays himself via divends, it generates no RRSP contribution space. You're right, the tax system is not fair...to business owners! The last I checked, anyone can start a business and incorporate. If you really think we have it so good, why not incorporate (you'd learn a thing or two about what's fair and what isn't).

Only about 1/4 of employees in Canada have any kind of workplace pension, and a growing proportion of working people these days work on contract and are not even employees any more. That's why they invented RRSPs and TFSAs -- so people who don't have employee benefits can also save for retirement or a rainy day. The question remains -- why should people who own personal corporations have the ability to shelter more income from taxes than everybody else can?

I agree, the issue here seems that they pose as medical centers. Maybe requiring them to disclose who funds them would be better?

Pregnancy doesn't kill you. Cancer does. Not a perfect analogy. The pregnancy centers are not medical centers. They are religious centers who offer a view point based upon their religion. If you want to see a doctor, go see your doctor. If you want religious counseling, go to a religious center.

It was a power washer used to spray high pressure water to clean grease and grime out of a trash chute, not a laundry washing machine. No one uses a power washer inside a condo.

Are you hyper-focused on one issue? Trump has bully, fluff and bluster as his major attributes and he applies them to almost everything from international trade, relations with allies, interactions with neighbors and his dysfunctional relationship with those in his own party. His nearly total lack of nuance, intellectual curiosity and his hyperbolic dealings with others before and during his presidency are attractive and respected only by a fading minority in this country. It appears you are an active participant in that clan of Trump apologists.

So tell us precisely what should be done with respect to North Korea to meet your "high standards."

Oh, Wow! Really? Yikes! Such vitriol and hatred for good Catholics who love God and the Church. It makes me wonder that there is any actual Catholic readership. I don't find so much anger in 99% of the Church. Sure people have different preferences as to what Liturgy they go to, and most people that have different opinions have an, "each tot heir own" attitude. It is rare that I've encountered such vehement hatred for differences. It's disconcerting that this is the opinion of not only a priest, but an editor.

No, you should not. Risk is part of the private business or entrepreneurial approach.

What has been lost in this discussion is that Sally, and other small business owners, such as me, take all the risk. If I can't find work, I don't get paid. When I take vacation, I don't get paid. When I am sick, I don't get paid. This is quite different from the salaried individual. Since I take more risk than the salaried individual, shouldn't I receive some recognition of that?

bring in an estate tax or inheritance tax and make it retroactive so people like Trudeau who are out of touch with the rest of us, can pay their fair share. This guy was a 'part time' drama teacher yet lived an upper class life. Why would he understand anything at all about hard work and sacrifice? Such a joke. Hopefully this blunder will lead to his downfall.

There goes the lies of Trudeau and Morneau! It is only for the wealthy!. Complete lies.!! Trudeau overspends and Canadian small businesses pay for his excesses! Only fair to those raised in wealth and privilege.

ESPN will do what is best for its business. As a private entity it is their right. They feel it is better to keep Hill and cut loose Schilling. Time will tell if they made the right call. I don't think people are cutting the ESPN chord, as much as they are cutting the cable chord. I like hockey so ESPN lost me long ago. As for the left going crazy if the shoe was on the other foot, you sir are going crazy while ignoring Trump's own tweets saying things just as bad. He represents the United States of America and acts like a 10 year old snowflake yet you find his behavior acceptable, while feigning outrage at a little known sports anchor.

The real issue for ESPN is their double standard on this issue. Anyone who said a cross word or disagreed with Obama was let go. It seems they do not hold the same view towards Trump. I have not watch a second of ESPN since they gave the award to Bruce Jenner. I can honestly say I have not missed a thing! ESPN needs to fire her at the least. The left would be going crazy if the shoe were on the other foot.

Well, considering the strong Catholic bias on the Supreme Court, this atheist is grateful that someone is willing to question a candidate's willingness to be open to settled law, like Roe V. Wade. No sensible person can look at our judicial system and see anything other than a strong fundamentalist religious bias. Gerson is pretending to be defending religious perspectives, but pretty much all he is about is fighting for the right of oligarchs to set in concrete the income inequality that exists in America. The far right pretends to care about values, but in reality they are about getting rich. So they work to cut food stamps and public housing, all the while speechifying about hewing to Christian values. I put "intellectually bankrupt" into google and had fun reading all the different ways we humans look at those we disagree with. If it really means "illogical" then pretty much all religion is intellectually bankrupt. Hugh Massengill, Eugene Oregon

For once Gerson takes on a real issue as opposed to Trump bashing. The inquisition into a nominee's religion by democrats in light of their dramatic protestations of targeting Muslims is both hypocritical and intellectually bankrupt.

Someone please explain - what is wrong with the twice renovated Saddledome.

Why is the Saddledome being demolished? Certainly it can be repurposed. The Saddledome is one of the city iconic building and have cultural heritage value. It is not in disrepair nor a liability. You can maintain a smaller capacity rink below and build a large horizontal space at the mezzanine level (maybe indoor soccer fields, basketball, tennis...trade/convention floor...).

With the 'average' results we get from education dollars they should be forced to build a school on land they already own, or just forget it. If they don't have any land just add more stories to their existing schools, or go down. There's unlimited space going down. Probably cheaper too as you needn't worry about exterior design and heating and cooling costs would be lower. No roof to leak. No windows to wash, or break. Cheerful lighting would simulate daylight and there would be no distractions for students looking out the window. . I think when government seizes peoples property through eminent domain they should pay 3 times the 'fair market value' as the owners did not choose to sell. This may make the school, or anyone else, think a bit before randomly deciding to build somewhere just because they can.

Public Education is a racket. This is theft. Law of eminent domain must be eradicated by law. To this extent it's necessary to eliminate all property tax and move to allodial title. This is just wrong and exemplifies how terrible government has become in Washington State, and wreaks of the corruption of all the pigs at the trough and all their shady minions, and that includes the court. This is going to cost the taxpayers legal bills and that's all part of the racket. I'm onto them.

Tax policy is created to motivate investment decisions. Why do you think we have RRSPs and TFSA's? I guess you don't believe in these, either

When private investment decisions are driven primarily by tax policy and accounting slight of hand as is demonstrated here the resources of our nation are improperly allocated and the people suffer in consequence. Despite the controversy this issue needs addressing now. Those who threaten to leave for the US, I hope enjoy your new gun crazy homeland and the cops do not shoot you. Also, be prepared to pay through the nose for health care.

Paying dividends to stock holders is not sprinkling ...paying salaries to family members who do no work for the corp is sprinkling ...what if your dad who is retired financed your start up by buying stock ...he should not be allowed a return on his investment because his income is low ? Dividends are taxed at a lower rate because the corp has all ready paid tax on it once ...this is clearly just another TAX GRAB by the Liberals , to finance their out of control spending and buy votes by pitting all of us against each other

It is clear that this tax break is being abused by some professionals, small business owners and others. So abolish it. It is inequitable in so many respects. For example, why provide a benefit to businessmen and women who have a family to “sprinkle” to, and not to those who don’t? If small business owners need a subsidy, create one, rather than having an inequitable tax subsidy that has unintended consequences. We used to have the concept of a “personal corporation” in which all income flowed through immediately to the shareholder. Why not reinstate it, or something with similar effect?

"poppers"? Another Rhodes scholar commenting here.

Everyone has a right to express their opinion on this issue. Having said that talk is cheap if you have no skin in the game. Calgarians will pay for this and benefit from this. We get to keep some pride when put in the box with Montreal, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Edmonton and Vancouver. Yes it does matter, any I suspect many commenters know it, some of them from outside Calgary. Reality is the Flames can move, reality is there is a new paradigm in sports and cities with pro teams have to cough up, reality is the Saddledome is done and there are many reasons why. Calgary will benefit from the work it eill help in these hard times. We can compete against Edm for top music acts. It is insulting to have to go up there for music. Fact is Calgary is bigger than Edm and we should be doing our own thing. Keeping the Flames and NHL cache is valuable. Clowns will argue that point, they are wrong! The Calgary flames help market the Calgary brand, unless we just want to be poppers.

Call them what they, Catholic Taliban. Extremists are the same no matter what their cause.

And so the "Americhristian Church of Anger and Fear" keeps exuding its repugnant sulfurous, hellish stench. It is the most dangerous sect right behind Scientology. It must be exposed as anti- Christian wherever and whenever possible. They act like Catholic Wahhabis; the ones in Saudi-Arabia are bad enough already and wreaking havoc all over the planet with their ideology. We don't need more of those religiofascists. They are reprehensible. Yet even they, too, shall find salvation - and join those whom they consider degenerates who must suffer hell and death as guests at the Great Heavenly Banquet of which Isiah speaks. Imagine that! I will, while still here among the living, and rich in sin and poor in virtue, toast them with a nice martini - shaken, not stirred, and, of course, stone cold (like these "chosen frozen"). Can't wait for That Big Party to be mine, too! ;-)

And I think it does, based on my experience. But all we can do is speculate, because you will never see those deleted comments, so you can't judge for yourself... A system that has everyone second-guessing it is not a good one, period.

When you say you think your comment was deleted because it was "just politically incorrect", can I assume you are using the term in its usual pejorative sense? If so, what do you make of the fact that my last reply to you was rejected? When I realized it, all I did was change the last sentence from "Sure." to "Seems self-defeating, but it's up to you." and it made it through minutes later. As it should have. Point is, the peer-review system allows rejection of comments by people who disagree with you. Most of those Globe readers (or at least the ones who comment on anything vaguely feminist) are 'agin it.' But not, I guess, all of them. I think we agree it's a problem, but don't think for a minute that it has anything to do with "political correctness."

The R-line is not even 9 months old. It Started in Feb of 2017. It makes little sense to slow it down or even stop it now. This is esp true with the new construction along the line. That will almost certainly lead to ppl jumping on it esp for the tech center. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R_Line_(RTD) The W-line did open in 2013, so, if it continues to be low, then maybe service SHOULD be cut down until things pick up a bit more. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W_Line_(RTD)

It would be a poor use of money to keep spending additional money on operations than the line can support too. At some point you just have to cut your losses. They can always scale back up later if a line proves it can support enough of itself with fare revenues (30%). The R-line was always the most questionable line to build, IMO. Any line that doesn't rely heavily on saving people from having to spend a fortune on parking (i.e. to anywhere by downtown or DIA) is going to be a very hard sell in a spread-out suburban area like this.

The problem is, the evidence that you say convinced the judge was presented or not presented by a fellow employee of the cop. A "Brother in Arms", as they say. Did the "Brother" prosecutor present all the evidence, did he try for a conviction? I think not.

The judge made a decision based on the evidence, you should probably be asking him for his credentials. I'm sure they surpass your abilities of attempting to call someone out via post.

If Hillary actually was "politically left" she might have won. She isn't though. She's no further left than Merkel is.

The only woman prime minister in Canada was Kim Campbell, who replaced retired Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, and promptly lost the next federal election months later. Although, Chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel, is quite successful and competent and is generally admired on the world stage, she, like Margaret Thatcher or Theresa May of the United Kingdom, Julia Gillard of Australia, and Kim Campbell, are all conservative politicians. Within their countries, none of these women would be considered progressive on women’s rights, minority rights, or LGBTQ rights. So, in Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, and the United States over their entire modern political history there has been a total of only 5 women who have held or are holding the highest political office of their country – 4 elected and 5 conservative/politically right. So, perhaps Hillary Clinton is correct, misogyny does play a role in politically left women being elected to the highest office.

The problem with Fr Martin's book isn't with what he says but what he doesn't say regarding Church teaching. It is a sin of omission to ignore what the Church had to say regarding chastity. And it's a lie to say he doesn't advocate changing Church teaching. He wants to change the homosexual orientation from intrinsically disordered to "differently ordered". This implies some kind of moral equivalence between the heterosexual orientation which is ordered to unity and procreation and the homosexual which isn't...as if we are talking flavors of ice cream.

Sorry - confused by your statement. If you have read Martin's book, then you would know that he states nothing that is contrary to catholic teaching. He does make suggestions and proposals along the line of Francis' call for dialogue. He does not even advocate for new laws, etc. And, we are called to much more than just *conformity* to catholic teaching - faith with reason, conscience, etc. You have basically negated those very significant church teachings - are we cherry picking?

This was about artificial birth control. Abortion is in the Didache. Counter-revolutionary because of Ottaviani and Wojtila's opposition to most reforms of VII, with Otaviani rewriting those parts of HV not suggested by the Commission. Had the Council still been in session, the Commission draft would have been HV.

How is it a "counter-revolutionary shot" for a pope to reaffirm what was taught already in the Didache and which even all Protestants had believed until a few decades before?

Exactly. I went and looked at the Vikings pages & articles at espn.com. They had only one healthy QB left, Case Keenum, if Bradford can't play. Keenum played in preseason, & is ready to start, if Bradford is out, as a temp backup. Sloter will back Keenum up. Terry Bridgewater is on the PUP list, and is thought to be available (& eligible) after 6 games. So, when he returns, Bradford might be back too, not sure yet how long SB's out. If they both come back at that time, Sloter will be waived for the practice dquad, unless they want to carry 4 active roster qb's.

You all realize that Minnesota is only doing this as a precaution incase Bradford, and then his backup go down. They have no intention of playing Sloter, ever. Most likely Bradford starts and plays the entire game. The only real news here is that Leary gets to play Sunday. That is a big plus for Denver.

I never disputed the spending problem. It's Teddy's math that I question. There are disgusting amounts of waste in government, but salary is a smaller part than he argues.

Exactly OG! There lies the problem, so much is spent on salaries and health care that the government cant keep up. They are either borrowing or keep raising taxes. Bottom line they have a spending problem not a revenue problem. Why should the tax payer have to be punished for their incompetence?

Your grasp of what and who constitutes a refugee is obviously defective. As to "white men" writing down their history, isn't that because their civilisation had advanced to the point of having written language while other groups had not?

Actually it's 1492 That's when the refugees first came to Turtle Island Not sure what history you are referring to, but the one written by "white" nen seems to be missing a lot of facts, despite the fact that they wrote it down. Curious no?

Hey! You submitted an entire comment that, while still way off topic, did not mention Trump a single time! Good job! Are you starting to grow up?

A white security officer told police he was shot by a black man. Within minutes, 55 officers swarmed the campus, along with four police dogs and a State Patrol aircraft to search for the suspect. Ahlers, the 'victim', was taken to the hospital and released. He is expected to make a full recovery. At a news conference, police spokesman Mike Ernster said the campus had been on lockdown with “1,800 student held captive in their dorm rooms.” Neighborhood residents, shaken by reports of a gunman at large, asked police officers to check their houses. Turns out, he’d shot himself.

That's an irrational comparison since bus riders only make-up 2.4% of all commuters. The real point is that LTD spent almost $100 million to serve such a few amount of people.

How does that money compare to other projects that have or will be built? $350 million for Beltline, $170 million for the Willamut bridge, $70 million for the Beltline flyover at I-5 and Springfield. How much is that per person?

In a bogus election with the full support of Russian trolls distributing lies and misinformation, garnering the votes of the uninformed, sure. This is not even to mention Comey's last-minute announcements on Clinton, which turned out to be nothing of merit coupled with his failure to mention the Russian investigation on Trump, which was also ongoing at the time, and will ultimately prove to have genuine merit. Add this to an EC that ignores millions of individual votes, giving the minority of red states that contribute the least, and take the most in federal aid disproportionate power.

At least you admit that he WAS elected. That's a start.

Dear Pasternoster Canadian says blah blah blah about Trump In rebuttal the said Canadian is told - "look at your own belly button, your Prime Minister is the same as Trump in this respect" - hence "The topic is ABOUT Trudeau, Myanmar, and the illegal Canadian border crossings." - if Trump should mind his own business then so should cute Trudeau

The topic is NOT about Trudeau, Myanmar, and the illegal Canadian border crossings. It is about Trump's adverse and unfounded comment towards the London police force after a terrorist attack on the city's public transit system.

Now you're just making things up and moving the goalposts in an effort to recover from your earlier banality. I never said it was easy, did I. Never said it was hard either. What I did say is that hands weren't the only potential source of DNA. If you want to counter my arguments, you have to counter ones I actually made, not ones you fabricated because you think yours will be easier to debate than mine. How the officer's DNA was transferred to the revolver is a question I can't answer. What I do know is that the prosecution's own DNA expert testified at the trial that the absence of the criminal's DNA on the revolver didn't exclude the criminal from being the owner of the revolver. And since that was the only evidence the prosecutor had regarding the alleged planting of the gun by the officer, the prosecutor was unable to establish the premise upon which the officer was charged.

If it's so easy to transfer DNA, how is it that the guy who supposedly had the gun and handled it, left no DNA at all? Do you think he got out a hankie and wiped it down while being shot multiple times?

Please. Under your scenario, anyone would be able to enter the States without proper vetting. Why cant they leave and come back through customs and immigration? I would welcome them as we have from immigrants around the world. If a cop pulls me over for speeding, I have no right to tell him/her that I wasn't hurting anyone so let me go. You are offering ridiculous notions that have no basis in law, only your sympathy for these illegal parties.

Bovine? They "chose to break the law" because it was in their self-interest to do so - because even with all the inconveniences of immigrating illegally, the money offered to them by American employers - and by extension, American consumers - made it worth their while. I.e., they are no different from other hard-working Americans. To repeat Blizz's point, rather than making yourself feel superior by dumping on people who work really hard, why don't you take aim at the real cause of this tragedy - their employers and the consumers who have benefited from their work? Their low wages have kept our food and housing prices down ...

Why do you waste your energy on Sanger who's ideas are very similar to conservatism Ayn Rand and common at that point in the early 2oth century. Sanger is dead and she had close to zero impact even by ideology. I'm glad the deeply offensive views of Sanger on genetic manipulation are exposed and rejected. Both my daughters were assisted in getting medication for a trait of their mom, called Polycystic Ovian Syndrome. Abortion is not their only service and repeating that would be intentionally lying on your part.

LOL,an "end around" for PP, about the only thing PP DOES IS provide abortions. They REFER for the majority of "care". As their founder Sanger said"[Our object is] unlimited sexual gratification without the burden of unwanted children..[Women have the right] to live..to love..to be lazy..to be an unmarried mother..to create..to destroy..The marriage bed is the most degenerative influence in the social order..The most merciful thing that a family does to one of its infant members is to kill it." (Margaret Sanger,(editor). The Woman Rebel, Volume I, Number 1, Reprinted in Woman and the New Race. New York, Brentanos Publishers, 1922.) Note: I picked out the LEAST offensive quote I found. A morally reprehensible organization founded by a morally reprehensible individual, and both praised by former Presidential Candidate, Hillery Clinton. You just can't make this stuff up!

I am a woman and completely amazed at the tone of your comment. YES, it absolutely has to do with her being a woman and trying to be accepted as an equal, not a target of mysogynism that you seem to support and condone. She shouldn't "play with the big boys" ? WOW!! Repressive toward women much? Don't look as women as equal? Think we should cook and clean and stroke those male egos - if you know what I mean? Actually, you should be totally ashamed of yourself since NO ONE deserves this treatment.

Come now, that's no woman- that's Hillary Clinton! Seriously, this had nothing to do with her gender or abuse. It's politics and if you think it is in bad taste you may be correct. But that kind of victim virtue signaling is just silly. I am a woman and it never occurred to me that it was sexist- she chose to stand with the big boys, whining about it all the way, and she gets no special treatment. He would do the same to a man. There are legitimate criticisms of the GIF, but that isn't one of them.

"The left can dish it out but they can't take it" Look in the mirror. You moan and whine about a conservative being disinvited from a private liberal college, but whoop and cheer when someone you disagree with gets disinvited from a conservative college. There is no difference, except for your hypocrisy.

The left can dish it out but they can't take it. Liberals praise a college for disinviting a certain speakers, especially if the speaker is conservative. The excuse, a possibility of protest, and controversy. And censorship is never questioned. And now the Catholic Church does something similar and it's all about censorship.

And somehow you think bumping off Kim will NOT lead to the deaths of millions of Koreans. Who will give the order if Kim is killed? The second in line. The head of the North Korean armed forces. SOMEBODY will give the order. The North Koreans won't roll over and play dead.

A neo-Hitler, Kim, is threatening to murder hundreds of millions of innocent, defenseless persons around the world. Kim has hydrogen bombs in August the WaPo confirmed a DIA assessment that Kim has a viable ICBM. Now uninformed trolls like you, derecho, clocker etc appear to make insulting comments.

As previously posted, the authors of this letter have nothing to lose with the impending changes. They're being paid via alternative payment models, do not bill for service or run their own business, and have pensions/benefits. Talk about biased.

Very brave for the them to come forward and speak up....I have a lot of respect for them. It's all about having a fair tax system. All high earners should be paying more to support the system. High earner employees were hit with the 4% increase in taxes in 2016. Time for those with Private Corporations to pay their fair share.

The expression is that: "Hope springs eternal". Your "spirit" of love and sense of inclusion is so refreshing to hear. So many are beaten down and walk away. The rest of us need one another. When love is the motivation, life is built on a firm foundation and no one can ever take that away, even those who claim to know the mind of God!

Dan Rather than just *Liking* your comment, which I *do*, I also hope your first sentence is actually incorrect. Let’s not lose hope or give up on our ability to affect real change. I know it’ll take time, but I think that’s what Fr Jim Martin’s book is all about: taking the time and being kind with each other so everyone can relax a little and get to know each other, which will lead to change. Meanwhile, I agree with what you say about not letting the Church separate any of us from God. No church owns God and they are not one and the same. I love Jesus, the Mass and the Eucharist and no one can tell me they are not mine. Jesus demonstrated the way and the Holy Spirit is actively moving in each of our hearts. So, let’s trust that and embrace being a part of God’s constant creation.

That gif was less violent than the game we watched yesterday.

To me, it really isn't harmless. It's an indication of a person's acceptance of violence towards another. Now, in our culture, this seems to be no big deal. But, our acceptance of violence is arguably just a reflection of what we're willing to do towards each other for our own gain. Some cultures would find such acceptance not only disrespectful but shameful. Let's not forget the very important point that this person supposedly represents the country, which should demand even more professional, respectful, and mature behavior than just some average person.

you must be hilary clinton supporters or democrats supporters i didnt vote for hilary because she neoliberal she copy bernie and use her money dollars to fake to left. bill clinton to lorreta lynch before the the investigation by fbi about grandkids is proof of bullshit. she use her husband to protect herself. she should be in jail but she paid people off.

On the other hand, the fake (non-mainstream) media has accused Hilary of numerous security breaches with her e-mails, of which none were ever proven - as even James Comey conceded - after he had already flushed her chances down the sewer. Maybe she did use bad judgement, but she did not (knowingly or otherwise) have in her employ unregistered agents of a foreign (and antagonistic) nation.

Aquinas made up a lot of things. Living our lives as perfectly human and perfectly loving satisfies the divine law. The latter is harder than the former, which is just self preservation (avoiding sin is for us, not God).

Read up before you make a bigger fool of yourself. " . . . . Aquinas distinguishes four kinds of law: (1) eternal law; (2) natural law; (3) human law; and (4) divine law. Eternal law is comprised of those laws that govern the nature of an eternal universe; as Susan Dimock (1999, 22) puts it, one can "think of eternal law as comprising all those scientific (physical, chemical, biological, psychological, etc.) 'laws' by which the universe is ordered." Divine law is concerned with those standards that must be satisfied by a human being to achieve eternal salvation. One cannot discover divine law by natural reason alone; the precepts of divine law are disclosed only through divine revelation." The natural law is comprised of those precepts of the eternal law that govern the behavior of beings possessing reason and free will. . . ." http://www.iep.utm.edu/natlaw/

No. They would think that it was Hillarious. And the notion that Trump's retweet is promoting violence against women, when everyone with a functioning brain knows that it was aimed at one specific person, is the typical ridiculous overblown claim only a few buys into. Note that when Kathy Griffin held Trump's decapitated head, no one claimed that it promoted violence against men.

Disfiguring uncovered women is just a part of Islam. It isn't a "terrorist" attack in that sense, because it's just part of being a regular Muslim. These are the moderates we hear so much about.

All that being said, I doubt there is any other professional franchise in North America where the owners supported the local community as much as the Flames Group has done over the years. From the original - Scurfield, Kwong, Seamon, Hotchkiss - owners to the current owners and those in between - such as Riddell, Markham etc.-

Just some of the information missing from the article. Several studies have shown when the NHL & NBA were on strikes there was very little local economic downturn as residents took the money they would have spent on tickets etc and reallocated their money to other local entertainment. Also, while the Saddledome is 34 years old, it has also had a substantial renovation. Just because the Saddledome is old does not mean it is obsolete as it has one of the largest seating capacities in North America, or has as many corporate suites as most arenas. What the Flames will not disclose is the total ticket revenue generated compared to other arenas for NHL games. Nor do the Flames disclose the Saddledome does not pay property tax, a multi million $ saving. I will concede the concourse is obsolete in the Saddledome. btw I am a sports fan, however, would appreciate all info being disclosed.

I'm a retired music teacher. I assure you, band class is graded and elective credit given out. In my experience, there is no distinction between 'marching band' and 'band'. I suppose there might be some schools that do not have that as a policy. Best to check. As for being excused from performances, that is up to the individual teacher and his classroom policies. If the teacher gives an alternate assessment, a student can receive a grade and credit even if they are not there for a number of performances. If the class receives a grade and credit, it is co-curricular.

I'm pretty sure Marching Band is an extra curricular activity. I say this because many Band students have activities which conflict with Marching Band and therefore don't march.

So when ghettos formed in Europe in the 16th century, left wing intellectuals were behind that idea? Wasn't there an Austrian 80 years ago who railed against non Christian immigrants in Germany? You have many common arguments with him (he blamed that group for communism, and trying to take over the world; you blame Islam for the same end game).

You're embarrassing yourself. Matthew Fisher is a respected Journalist across partisan lines: http://nationalpost.com/news/world/matthew-fisher-sweden-refugees Instead we get Doug Saunders fawning over a bloated EU bureaucracy as if letting hundreds of thousands of military aged males enter Europe with absolutely zero security screening and impotent deportation controls is a good thing. Europe's regression is depressing - cultural segregation isn't a conspiracy theory from the rightwing fringe, it's an uncomfortable reality that politicians refuse to address out of a misguided commitment to political correctness. Every country in the world governed by Islamic law is highlighted by female subjugation and regression so why is it that self-titled "progressives" defend doing nothing in an environment of assertive political Islam? It has nothing to do with cultural relativism - it is about universal values of right and wrong - advanced civilized society vs. misogynist tribalism.

If you did it would be factually untrue.

I could say the same about the Democratic states. Try not to believe everything you read.

True Republicans, True Scotsmen, *shrug* New rhetoric, same old fallacy.

When Lindsey Graham is considered a RINO, you may want to consider who is left as a "True Republican". You guys seem to be running out of "True Republicans"

It's amazing to see people react to statements on here with "laughing faces" when discussing citizens being shot dead by the police, eh "Mandy Koelbl"? Tell me....EXACTLY...how and why did this press release simply say that a "struggle ensued"? Who started this "struggle"? The man who is now dead having been shot by the cops, the "friend", or the cops themselves? Why did they do so? But why ask why...you seem omniscient about all of this, even if it's not anywhere to be found in the WNT article. Maybe you were simply there, and are now just trying to play "CYA"?

Enigma - your points are certainly an enigma here. The deputies didn't shoot the man until AFTER he shot his friend therefore his actions let to his being cured of despondency.
