Read the news—sexual crimes are not reported for years for many reasons including the fear of an assailant with authority, age and community standing, the shame, and pressure from others to “forget it”. Look at how long it took men to report sexual assaults by Catholic priests when they were boys, or the boys raped by Jerry Sandusky the Penn State Coach, or all the women who were assaulted by Bill Crosby, and Harvey Weinstein— and many more. The courage to report after trying to forget and hid from sexual assault comes as others report and bring back the memory and provide the courage to come forward— as this is happening now.

What Scheer policies you supporting Jack.......let me guess the same old tired meme....less taxes and more breaks for the wealthy? Your naivety continues to flourish.

Bitcoin will never replace fiat currencies. You point out that there is a maximum number of Bitcoins that can ever be produced (this is a mathematical consequence of its design, not because anybody in particular is 'preventing expansion'), which means it is inherently deflationary. Aside from all the other concerns (regulatory, etc), this on its own makes it unable to become a primary currency for any national economy. We'd be living in an unescapable liquidity trap. Also, anyone can create new Bitcoins. It takes a huge amount of computing resources these days, though, and your electricity bill likely exceeds the value of the coins you 'mine'.

You sound as sick as Moore. I said there was no place for him in the Republican Party or anywhere else. Go get help you sick faux.

This is not just an issue of allowing women to wear what they want to wear. As the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau ought to know that.

"The government of Quebec wants to be able to see your face when you receive government services. " So what? You can't always get what you want. "if a bus company requires people to verify their identity before getting on a bus then why should it be any different for those wearing a Niqab?" Except a bus company *is not* required to verify anyone's identity.

"Canada, whose economy is the second biggest among the TPP-11 after Japan..." Is this a joke? How do you measure the 'size of the economy'? By GDP? If so, that's a huge lie and distortion. If by PPP, that's a bit closer (as The Economist has been suggesting for almost a decade). GDP yields good numbers, when a country's economy is primarily based on services and not production, which Canada's (unfortunately) is. Take away the (mostly foreign owned) natural resource extractions, car assembly plants et al and not much is left. As for Mr. Trudeau's no show, it is not coincidental; he is currying favour with the big boy in the sand box; the US in the NAFTA negotiations.

Instant replay would have ruled a touchback on Gabriel's fumble at the pylon and Liufau''s touchdown in the first quarter.

We've got a quibbler in our midst.

exactly. She is very one sided as well by claiming Republicans received $6 million from the gun industry while ignoring the Millions the Democrats received from the anti-gun industry, Bloomberg, Soros, Hollywood etc

The department in an emailed statement said the application was refused in January 2015 "because the visa officer was not satisfied that (Raju's niece) had demonstrated any recent attempts to address her deficiencies in her English language ability, training and work experience." This seem to be very common. My application for an RN educated at a convent from India for my disabled wife of 86 years of age was denied on the same grounds. I later found out, that if I went through an agency, I would have succeeded

Right, Pueblo about to surge ... I love watching you snowflakes melt w this one cant wait to vote on the next one ... ;)

Coal burning and diesel pickup trucks in Canada are a similar problem. If you've ever had a condo in downtown Calgary you quickly learn not to leave a window open for fresh air. Turns the linens grey. Hard to believe that in a country like Canada the cardiopulmonary effects are ignored. 40 years invested in cleaning up the gasoline engine (used to be tetraethyl lead) with catalytic converters, and now particulate spewing diesels are all over the road, damaging our's and our kids' health to save a few bucks. And departments Health Canada and Transport Canada (oxymorons) are silent.

Maybe there's a portion of the audience that doesn't care to be preached at by the holier-than-thou acting community and they stay home rather than support their films. If so, too bad it trickles down and affects Cineplex's bottom line.

Trudeau is the gift that keeps on giving - for accountant billings.

"Completely out to lunch. In five years [insert asset here] will buy a lambo!" ... said people in the midst of every asset bubble, ever.

"Why is it only the driver’s responsibility and not the pedestrian’s?" - Because drivers receive a license to operate their vehicle on the condition that they follow all relevant laws; pedestrians do not. - Because drivers are operating a multi-ton vehicle capable of travelling at great speeds, and are generally well-protected in the event of a collision; pedestrians are not. - Because, as the article explains, distracted pedestrians cause a negligible number of fatalities: "Electronic devices in the hands of walkers were a factor in just 25 of 23,240 pedestrian deaths from 2010 through 2014."

I think they are just reporting the facts, same as if it were a Burger Jim, Burger King or an Arby's, etc. They are just reporting where the incidents took place. I don't think anyone is blaming McDonald's.

Hezbollah is a terrorist organization. Giving candy to your kids while blowing up someone else's is no charity. But, yeah: war is no solution.

None of it matters if the O-line can't block. That is step 1.

Bootlegging was dropped from a felony to a misdemeanor a couple years ago. They are bounced right back out into the villages.

Was Island Air the only one flying commercial flights into Kaanapali Airport? If I am correct, that will create problems.

The only racism I saw during the election was Nenshi appealing directly to east-Indian voters while playing the race card. What would Mason and Nenshi say if Smith would have appealed directly to white voters and played the race card. The hypocrisy and double standards of people like Nenshi and Mason are disgusting. They are the type of people who are doing their best to create racism in this country.

Who are these people? Where did they come from? First Legal Marijuana, now gardens on roofs, and when will it end? Liberals are so single minded, the environment, the air, now the roofs. This is just pure nonsense, even the liberal mayor didn't like it.

To what end? The statute of limitations is way passed and thus...even if found guilty what? You cant press charges and it's just he said she said. The corroborating "witnesses" themselves said she told them she was seeing an older man and not explicitly Roy Moore. By the way...whatever happened to all those women claiming Trump assaulted them...or for that matter Herman Cain. Seems to be the M.O. nowadays if one cannot win on their own platform find something on the other guy even if you have to fabricate something. They make it sound like they interviewed the whole town trying to find dirt.

deflection is not your friend...

True, factual, indisputable news is "fake" if it make you angry. I get that.

‘The problem with the strategy was a) it was foul, damaging social cohesion by stigmatizing one group of Canadians, and b) it undermined the party's credibility among all voters. "In the long term it damaged the party's brand," Prof. Cochrane believes.’ This is exactly what the Liberals achieved with their ill advised corporate tax change fiasco. They stigmatized small business owners, doctors, farmers and professionals while not touching the “loopholes” used by Trudeau and Morneau. Those people, their families, friends and employees numbering in the millions, are gone as Liberal supporters.... Spending, borrowing and taxing Canada rich will not work - we are on the same disasterous vote buying path as Ontario. Scheer and the Conservatives should be a natural choice for millennials who don’t want to be mired in debt and deficit. Focusing on economic growth, sustainable balanced immigration, tighter border controls and prudent governance is a recipe for success.

"In order to grow this university and serve the state, we need the resources — we need the investment," Johnsen said. Why is it in the State's interest to grow the university? I think that the university has exceed any benefit that comes from "economy of scale" with the net result being a higher cost of education. Bigger is NOT always better. "While the average tuition at the western states' universities went up by 87 percent between 2006 and 2016, UA's tuition only increased by 63 percent, according to the commission." The inflation rate for the consumer price index was around 20%/decade between 2006 and 2016. There is more to UA's tuition increase than the increase in cost of operations or reduced government subsidies can explain. We can't blame all of this on the cost of Healthcare! Comparing UAs tuition costs with other universities for this 10 year period shows me that these universities have failed to respect the clients that they should be serving: the students.

Maybe I do know that and say these things regardless. How about that? Hey, by your logic, we should reduce greenhouse gas emissions because we know anthropogenic climate change increases the risk of extreme weather events, such as wildfire-intensifying drought. You can feel free to breath all the ammonium phosphate you please while looking for your citations. I'm going to pass on that "opportunity" to participate in the immoral public experiment of wayward failed fascist Federal government. I hope this plane fails to fly until they replace the retardant with one that's as safe as water. They're taking this stuff and dumping it on the world. There's no place for it.

We need Elmer the Safety Elephant to return. In the 1950's he taught all Toronto schoolchildren to "Stop, look and listen before you cross the street. Use your eyes and use your ears before you use your feet." Everyone needs that lesson now, not only children. And let's bring back the crosswalk protocol "Point your way to safety"? That requires anyone wanting to cross at a cross walk to stop, point, and then proceed only after it's clear that traffic is stopped so that they can cross safely.

Its funny to be thirsty Robert maybe bees and flies will be roaming that space since as arrogantly as you are, no ndiza comes to you, you have become a god unto yourself and your cohorts. South Africa its a lesson to learn when others are faltering.

Move to Houston where you'll be appreciated and welcomed ...

More speed bumps and wider sidewalks will not solve the problem. Traffic calming is a complete misnomer, and the motorists who are subjected to it generally get stressed enough to speed and race yellow lights once out of it to make up for the time wasted. Speed bumps are the bane of emergency vehicles everywhere, since ambulances, prowl cars, and fire trucks all have to slow down for them too – in situations where seconds can make the difference between life and death. Traffic congestion in 2006 cost the Canadian economy 6.7B according to a Transport Canada study, it is no doubt higher than that 11 years on. Artificially adding to that problem to protect inattentive or daredevil pedestrians would be foolish.

Trudeau better have a good reason to miss this important meeting when all the parties were present for a major trade agreement especially when NAFTA is at risk.

The Bezos Family Foundation is major sponsor of the Aspen Institute, providing scholrships for students to attend the major summer program. someone from the family is seen each summer.

And If this is all true you will have to take ownership of it. You sound like an attorney eager to make up all kinds of excuses for Moore. He can defend himself like he did when he defied the US Supreme Court because he did not believe in the court's authority. What a great model citizen and ex judge who obviously appears to have serious disturbance issues in his head.

Didn't Trudeau wag his finger and scold China, Japan and Korea about how few women and transgendered persons are in the boardrooms of their national industries ?

the market for guns has been boosted by anti-gun politicians. Case in point Obama scared Americans into hoarding guns and ammo, the effect was felt here with major shortages. Larry Potterfield owner on one of the biggest gun and ammo suppliers (Midway USA) Said. "If I had known Obama would be so good for sales I would have voted for him"

First, wealth and income are two different things. People get confused about this. Second, there is this classic quote from a couple who makes $180,000 per year: “I don’t have a bunch of money stashed away anywhere.” And that, my friends, speaks volumes.

You sure do finger point a lot. The world isn’t broken. It’s as it has always been.

And Trump continues to pay squat.

The Democrats are desperate and so is their media. What's next, when he was born he exposed himself to the delivery room nurse?

We need all seven pipes.

The amount of "Road Warrior" cyclists is becoming obnoxiously large and they are constantly breaking the rules of the HTA - Highway Traffic Act. I am and have been demanding to my MPP that Cyclists NEED to be licensed and plated. Enough is enough.

There is no economic, financial or technical transport basis for such a scheme. A waste of taxpayer money !

Dang, the Russians are obviously still at it.

I just want to thank Marc Riehm for such a well-composed letter. He points out the problem with faith: since there is no evidence one way or the other, whose faith is correct?

There is no good guys in this conflict. Hezbollah is a terrorist organization. Globe should think twice before publishing an author who dances around a message that pretty much says Hezbollah is not that bad.

Here we go, deflecting to Hillary and soon we will hear Obama's name. You are getting way too predictable xbt.

For-profit medicine is inherently predatory and exploitative. It is the very definition of immoral, its practitioners are abjectly monstrous demons. I'm not talking about doctors, surgeons, or nurses, I'm talking about industrialist and corporate parasites that have captured and subverted the most ancient most noble cult of medicine. It's really something that the government and The People looked the other way as their own means of survival were sabotaged into piracy. I think some urgent remediation is in order before I grow old and they butcher me alive to exfiltrate every cent of extractable value.

Vietnam

One of the globes SJW hacks labels a film as sexist and homophobic, that probably just means the film is non-PC and probably funny.

He's waiting for Daddy to tell him what to do and then he can claim he thought of it himself.

Which part is "fake"?

What if you have an income of $20K and $5 million in the bank? Wealth and income are NOT the same thing.

"Walking without due care and attention is as dangerous as running a red light, speeding or distracted driving. " Sure; I remember, just a couple weeks ago, there was a pedestrian who wasn't paying attention, walked into an intersection, hit a streetcar, bounced off it, and slammed a cyclist against the wall, killing him. The pedestrian walked away, and probably won't face any significant consequences.

" what Canada stands for..." I wish there was a law banning this garbage. It is an insult. Canada will never, I repeat never become a cohesive nation, if it just keeps giving in to anything and everything, all in the name of 'human rights' and 'diversity'.

All good questions and maybe she just couldn't deal with it until now. But if it truthful, he timing is irrelevant and this guy should be locked up

Just say no to carbon taxes.

(Continued) We mine sand every single day all over the world. The only difference in this case is that the mined sand has a high phosphate content, making it more valuable to society. If you want to see a less biased, and much more comprehensive study on the impacts of marine dredging see - https://www.thecrownestate.co.uk/media/5711/aggregate-dredging-and-the-marine-environment.pdf As for the release of hazardous substances - the proposed operation will not have any greater impact than other sand dredging operations. The released substances that are heavy metals simply resettle and don't travel far given their weight. The amount of material "released" pales in comparison to that released by fishing trawlers every day, or that released in a heavy storm which stirs up vast sediment plumes. And again, it is far less than is released in terrestrial operations. And comparing this operation to the Valdez or Horizon is just trashy journalism. Nothing more. Thanks!

Similar debate when Repubs wanted to permanentize Bush tax cuts. some complained the upper class didnt start until million income, while others said 200K. They compromised at 400K.

Did anyone ever think that maybe the defense is getting worse because the offense they practice against is so bad?

Then vote these people out office. They serve us not the other way around.

Let's Go Bows! Let's Go Bows! Let's Go Bows!

What happened to "innocent until proven guilty"?" It disappeared in the witch hunt against Hillary Clinton, with your hearty approval.

No wonder the rest of the nation looks upon Alabama as a cesspool. I guess statutory rape laws and sexual crimes against minors should be repealed there since why should regular folk be punished when your US Senate candidate is exalted for them. Oh wait, I forgot, there's a reason there are so many dirty jokes about rednecks and their underage daughters.

RE: "In the later stages of the campaign, Gillespie started evoking the alt-right, white-nationalist themes that propelled Donald Trump to victory. He pledged to retain statues to the heroes of the Confederacy and he ran ads with heavy racial overtones." As a conservative, I can tell you that I would never cast a vote for a candidate that promoted an appeal to racism, and I think that your references are correct that that's what Gillespie was going for. But where you're wrong (as usual, Michael) is that Gillespie's late race-baiting is likely what led him to lose by an even larger measure than he - a non-conservative Republican - would have lost by otherwise. Trump never ran as a racist, but lefties like you, Michael, and Gillespie, misunderstand that to be the case. Trump won as a nationalist, populist, not a divider. And as long as divider candidates are going to be trotted out, regardless of party, they are going to lose. The country is tired of divisiveness.

https://youtu.be/DwBirf4BWew Sweet drama from you Republicans... I couldn't decide what Tammy hairdo I wanted when I sent this out to all u melting snowflakes .... I'm glad i sent all 13 of my votes in!!

Make no mistake: there will be no Trudeau govt Charter challenge here. Principles only matter to Libs when convenient. Remember the outrage Trudeau feigned on Harper's limited niqab ban anyone? Where is that outrage today...mysteriously vanished!!

It is time for the working tax payers to take a stand against this deep ecology madness.

Great article Nicki

Is Jim Ziegler a moron or what? Of course down in da south y’all can marry em at 13 eh Jimmy? Proally just give dem daughters away to git em outta da house!

Social Security tax cutoff which is around 90% percentile is 128K in 2018. Upper 10% may be upper middle class.

How about banning deep ecology madness.

Firstly I have to take issue with the DM's sub-editor that writes the summary on the main page. It gives the impression that Sisulu was slagging off Cyril, which she certainly wasn't. More importantly, I'm glad to see she's entered the fray - she would definitely be the alternative presidential candidate rather than the old dikste Dlamini-Zulu, if SA has to have a female in the role. I'd also like to see my personal ANC female favourite, Dr Makhosi Khoza as her deputy. What a pair THEY would make. Mind you, I'd still prefer Cyril as pres.

Now its Buddhists , the Muslims are at war with every other religion it looks like. Please photo-op boy just treat them to one of your lectures, do not open the doors any further.

Here we go again desperate, Democrats and their media whores trying the sex approach to ruin a candidate without proof.

Last time I checked not too many Costcos in Denver proper ... but melt on tiny snowflake

How does the media still defend him? By not talking about it all the time? To most of us, what Bill Clinton may or may not have done 20+ years ago is old news....especially since he doesn't currently hold public office, and is unlikely to do so anytime soon. Blue dress was 20 years ago. Here's the problem with what you're doing......you seem to be saying one of two things. 1) That is is OK for Moore to be a pervert, because Clinton was, or 2) That it is OK for Moore to be a pervert, but it is NOT ok for Clinton to be one. I'll leave it up to you to decide which statement you're trying to make. Besides....what's the bigger crime here....how the media covered the Clintons, or a soon-to-be- US Senator forcing himself on underage girls?

Whether one is a Conservative, Liberal, NDP or Green Party supporter it is embarrassing when our Prime Minister fails to show up at an important international trade meeting. It should also be pointed out that left-wing supporters consistently made fun of Harper for being late for the group picture, well, where are they now that Trudeau bailed on the whole meeting? What is becoming more clear is that Trudeau does not believe in free trade and has no interest in negotiating free trade agreements. Since he has Jerry Dias as an adviser, it is clear Trudeau is looking for trade deals that benefit the powerful and well-organized and sticking Canadian consumers and non-organized businesses with paying the bills for the tariff and non-tariff trade barriers. Just like Ontario, Canada is dancing to the union tune. It hasn't worked very well for Ontario and it won't work very well for Canada.

In the AP's rush to bash Trump, they conveniently forgot HRC and the Democrat National Committee, PAID for the Fusion GPS 'dossier'. There is more dirt and criminality on HRC and the Dem's then the phony search for a connection between our good American president.

She said she was 16...I have witnesses that say she told them the same thing. See how that works?

Is it true he has to be the Republican on the ballot, too? Apparently, the right (many of which claim to be "originalists" when it comes to the Constitution. HA!) were just fine with supporting this law-breaker before. I wonder if they will also support a pedophile as long as they have an "R" after their name?

Ooh! Got me on a technicality! I darn those nano-seconds to heck! See now, and here's me thinking that the false sense of security lies in keeping a loaded gun in the house. I'm sure I could have gotten Cleanup's whacked out tweaker with the bad address off my porch with out pulling a piece on him.

45 is like a festive comedy piñata that just keeps giving.

Good article. The speeding on our suburban roads is astounding. The vast majority of Toronto drivers do not adhere whatsoever to posted speed limits. But, the real problem is lack of enforcement. Our governments are too concerned about privacy, but what we need is a blanket network of camera to catch speeders and drivers who are using cell phones while driving.

Tell that to an angry Muslim mob my ignorant poster

If it comes out of one's personal residence's tap it's one's personal water. You fluoride fascists never give up, do you? If you REALLY believed your propaganda you'd accept that the majority of voters in this election chose NOT to have fluoride added to their water and move on to advocating providing fluoridated toothpaste to kids at school, with toothbrushes and floss, and time/instruction to use them to create habits they'd take home with them. This would do more to prevent dental decay than simple fluoride in our water, but you're more interested in profiting from fluoridation schemes than in kids dental health. You are just plain evil, and it's clear to see your hypocrisy. Now scurry back under your rock into the muck from which you arose. Your lies and deceit have been exposed and rejected here. Move on in search of other suckers, Slott. You don't care about kids teeth -- you're just here for the money.

well, if they are, he is just telling the truth. and many of the clergy formed under the last two pontiffs are very childish and immature.

So if it is a nationwide issue why pen a column focused on on particular city? Just because the mayor doesn't want to admit that his election difficulties were due to his personality and management style and instead chooses to point to his skin color or faith as the culprit? If this was such an issue in Calgary or Alberta, how in the world did Nenshi get elected not once, but three times?

So you support Saudi Arabia and Israel good for you...they are such good guys never doing no harm. Funny how those with money to be made get to say who the terrorists are. To me Nethanyahu and the Saudi prince are terrorists. But hey what do I know.

The sad sick deep ecology religion is based on Al Gore's lies.

Not given the political circumstances or the battles over succession. Besides, six women were not beheaded. It was only two and I highly doubt polygamy would have limited his concupiscence. He was a king who finally convinced himself he was not accountable to any earthly power.

just came back from a 1st time visit to India and spent a month travelling. Very happy the air quality was better in New Delhi at the time, but have to say that the visit to the country was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC and I would go back again anytime

Once the function of Churchill as an ( artificial +/- ) wheat shipping terminal was abandoned to more cost effective transport this whole rail link into Churchill has become a dead end boondoggle. Might be less expensive to bite the bullet and leave it as a "fly in" community. Or if the FN insist - then let them buy it - and find out about reality. In the meantime the lawyers love the job security .-)

The media should keep replaying 1990s Clinton news? OK...whatever you say...... That say a lot about you that 20 year old news about a Democrat is more important that what is CURRENTLY going on with Moore.

Hitcoin, Sitcoin, Newcoin, Twitcoin... There are infinite possibilities for new e-currencies to deflate the existing ones.

CAA has an online calculator so you can see the annual cost of car ownership. For a couple year old mid size sedan it is about $10k with insurance, gas, depreciation, etc. Imagine the public transit system we could build if we directed more of that money towards transit?

Too bad so many are accused but no proof has been presented in court. Remember the thousands of times the liberals screamed "innocent until proven guilty?" Now that the shoe has turned, they are acting like the Vipers they are! People are losing their jobs, for accusations thirty years ago. People are accused but not tried. What's going on? And all popped up right around election time! Hypocrites!
