You are, obviously, suggesting that they could get a better rate of return elsewhere. Even though that is almost certainly true, achieving their goal with the least amount of risk is the objective.

In my quiet neighbourhood in Burlington the last three homes sold were to Asians couples where two of them have dissapeared since November, with their houses sitting empty. These homes both had BMWs with one having a Benz for backup!! Perhaps being away for 4 months they are shopping for their new spring model.
Meanwhile down my street, the old faithful who had lived here for 10 plus years have upgraded to a Honda Accord, VW GOlf and a new CRV.

Now that fascism, that perverted ideology that the greatest generation of Americans helped defeat 70 years ago...is now our own reality. Yes, times change but the culmination of the perversion always has dire results.
What worries me more than anything is that that ideology that instigated the death and destruction of millions, and is now threatening perhaps an even worse scenario. Perhaps we should have a national day for Americans to watch that film "On The Beach," about the last remaining survivors of 'nuclear war,' awaiting their own death in Australia.

Trump said from his guts 'blames on both sides'. 'This has been going on for a long time.' Trump does not know how to lie in public, yet. But he will learn soon enough, just like all other politicians in the U.S.
Trump got hit like he is the many great enemies of U.S. around the world with his 'truth'. American never want the truth. The truth is racism, white supremacist have been the foundation of America. And still is to a large degree. Why do you think the U.S. killed more Asians after WW2 than it did before? Or during the war when killing the 'Japs' was official state command.
American white supremacism have aligned themselves with the black slave traders of the British empire in the 19th century. After the slave trade ended they aligned with themselves, created an uniquely American white racism. KKK and others. After WW2 they aligned themselves also with Neo-Nazi. The Nazi, of course, have exterminated Jew, Gipsys, Slav because they were inferior. This thing's been around. | 1 | toxic |
Part of the tragedy of America's third time of trial -- the Vietnam War: the other two being the Revolutionary War and the Civil War -- is that the debate about the Vietnam War's moral meanings was never resolved. For if we talk about Vietnam -- and we can't talk about this history without talking about -- people with strong, rival and incompatible senses of the common good.
The Vietnam War reveals a depth of division within American culture that remains and colors all debates over the wars the United States has participated in since, as well as other salient issues such as class, race, sex and the environment.
The Vietnam War is "the unfinished war," what we today call "endless war." This raises the uncomfortable question we have learned not to attend and even to exclude from our collective consciousness and conscience: Do we, as citizens, have any longer a sufficiently shared conception of the common good and meaning of America? | 0 | not toxic |

Figures, you have none. So the democrats in congress are nothing but obstructionist, they offer no bi-partisanship or to help plan a better future for our country.

Reality is limited by the constructs people have based on their life experiences. The impasse in Juneau is centered on - dividends vs. income taxes. That is, are we going to tax the income of those who create it in order to pay a dividend? But it's not that simple. Alaska has a large population of people who live a subsistence lifestyle below poverty levels. The dividend means much more to this population than folks living in Anchorage making say $50,000/year. Federal and state policies have enabled and subsidized this subsistence population. New reality option: carve out $7 billion from Perm Fund and name it the "Alaska Subsistence Welfare Fund" to pay $1250/year to Alaska natives who live at poverty levels in villages. Drop dividend payments to everyone else and use the remainder of the Perm Fund to run the state. People who earn a living don't need a dividend and should not be taxed to pay one to others who don't need it. | 0 | not toxic |

Despite Trudeau and Goodale's assurances that all such people will receive thorough vetting and all efforts are being made to keep bad people out, I remain susceptible.

"Trudeau isn't doing so poorly"
There's lots of angles to attack this one, but one example will suffice: marijuana legalization.
The LPC 'legalized marijuana' by downloading the responsibility for enforcement, policy and standards to the provinces, but nonsensically retained federal criminal legislation for sale to minors, introducing a guaranteed conflict between the provincial right to set age of majority and federal enforcement of that law. Are we really going to get into the business of arresting people and putting them in FEDERAL prison for selling to an 18 year old in Ontario, when that 18 year old can cross over into Quebec and buy it perfectly legally? It's what already happens with alcohol, but we're talking fines at the provincial level for alcohol, not felony convictions like we would with pot.
It's juvenile legislation that got rushed so the feds had a chance of getting it out in the public's eyes by 420. It's that kind of 'optics first' thinking that's so idiotic. | 1 | toxic |

To those, it's only a career to them...it's not a principled calling nor is it really to make things better.
It's also sad to see Americans who are so confused when an independent makes it this far without party backing and is not a puppet to the corruption and hasn't ended up selling out or being bullied out (Sanders) who surprised the established parties who were so sure that their chosen front runners would win. People are so used to the same way every election because it is so planned and established that they can't deal with any surprises .

I'm sure you know small business owners who use income sprinkling to reduce taxes - in this example if Justice were a minor and had no other income I believe he could receive $25-30K annually tax free if distributed as a dividend to him.

It's working so well for Kansas, so well.
"Since it took effect in January 2013, total employment in Kansas has risen only 2.6 percent, compared to 6.5 percent nationally. Private sector employment in Kansas has risen 3.5 percent, compared to 7.6 percent nationally.
The state’s economy has grown less than half as fast as the national economy; Kansas’ gross domestic product (GDP) grew 4.8 percent from the end of 2012 through the first quarter of 2016, while national GDP rose 11.9 percent.
Kansas’ share of newly opened business establishments in the United States has actually declined slightly rather than increased."

This is NOT about reducing traffic fatalities. It's a power grab by the police.
