See? There you go. Because Jesus.

Nice article.

All 'rights' have limits. Like freedom of speech, so does freedom of religion: yes, to be free to worship in your own way, NOT to conceal your identity from the person you are receiving services from. You can still wear your mask, but you won't be served.

Who in the world are you to say what "percentage of profit a company should be making?" Get over yourself.

Tiredofdogma was just responding to dillwinkle. He's the one who brought up Clinton. Deal with that.

You can't admit people other than Republicans have problems with sexual temptations. You have a hard time living in reality.

Than I owe you an apology...

Cardinal Cupich is right. The internecine squabbles festering among the disgruntled conservatives in the church who are now out of power are barely noticed by the outside world because the rest of the world sees it for what it is: a consummate act of navel-gazing. The world is not at all interested because the world has more important things to worry about, like whether we're all about to be blown to smithereens because two spoiled, fat, overgrown infants have their small, stubby fingers on the nuclear buttons.

I suggest that you read up a bit on the history. There is a mnemonic about the fates of Henry VI's wives: "Divorced, beheaded, died. Divorced, beheaded, survived." Henry VIII beheaded two of his wives, Anne Boleyn (on trumped-up charges) and Catherine Howard (on quite legitimate charges -- adultery by the queen was treason under the statute). Of the others, two were divorced (one for non-consumation), one died in childbirth and the sixth outlived him. Henry actually had solid grounds for an annulment. His father, Henry VII, arranged a marriage between his eldest son, Arthur, and Catherine of Aragon. A few months afterwards, Arthur died. The king wanted to keep the Catherine's dowry (over a million in today's currency, which would have had to be repaid out of the Privy Purse). So he decided to marry his second son, Henry, to Catherine. There was a problem: Under Church marriage law, one cannot marry one's deceased spouse's sibling.

What mess Mr. Pot? I mean about the AR15.

200 km range in good weather. Let's see what happens in the dead of Canadian winter, when range can easily drop to less than 1/2 that. Be prepared to see EVs on the side of the road during cold snaps/snow storms.

"...cardiopulmonary effects are ignored." Well, if they aren't that serious, maybe they should be. I dunno. What I do know is that for about three weeks this summer, we had really bad air quality here in otherwise-blue-sky, sunny Chilliwack BC. Couldn't see the mountains practically on our doorstep (Nor the housing developments creeping up the slopes). You could measure how serious it was. Just bare outline of mountain: pretty serious. Can see outlines of trees on mountain: not quite so serious. More recently, the return of pristine conditions--wow, dig the mountains!--was a good indicator, ironically, of how bad it was. And "coal burning and diesel pickup trucks" had nothing to do with it. Forest fires. I expect the same next year. How bad is that?

This is a good, moral proclamation by this Pope, refreshingly unambiguous and rightly apolitical. Let the nations (Caesar) figure out how to achieve peace among themselves, and let the Church be a guiding light for them. Notice he did not say, "Who am I to judge," when it comes to what is the right and moral act. People will do what they do, the Church can only try to help them do the right and moral thing by taking a strong, unambiguous stance.

hahahahahahahahaha!!!! Love your hate.

I can just imagine how postal you'd go if anyone called Obama "Blackolina" like you call Trump "Cheetolina". It's so juvenile.

Well, went to Maui last month. skier9 just might be on to something...

Before the tribe of Indians were slaughtered a spirit entered the Chiefs tent and said; you will lose this battle and your land today but fear not my warrior, this land will be given back to your ppl with more riches than you could ever imagine. The white man will disappear before your eyes . Do not speak the wht mans language .do not live there ways , as you live within your own culture the wealth will leave with the white man and you will venture from the white man slums back to your tents into what the white man calls poverty. You might be hungry on some nights but you are on your land and youll be happy. Do not pick up a weapon to get your land this will not work , The Indians who seek to prosper will leave with the slums with the white man. Their coming back to take our country, no weapons needed. They are a more successful organism , cat match the reproduction.

Actually, that is incorrect. Pedestrians may not enter the intersection when the countdown begins. Hence, it is not for them.

RELIGION, MODERATION AND… EXTREMISM Covering one’s face, in public, in the name of religion – being either a woman or a man – is tantamount to the “freedom of religion” gone… berserk. I do not think that the Canadian Constitution confers the right to any religious individual or religious group to violate all the rules of civilized human interaction and communication among the Canadian citizens – and covering one’s face in public… does just that. Yes, let’s argue this “niqab” case in front of the judges of the 21st century Canadian courts. And my suggestion: we can invite our Governor General as an expert and objective witness... Thank you. A. C.

Roy Moore- another fine American Patriot, making America great again.

The true burden for supporting clean air & water should be placed on those who pollute it relentlessly and without an measure of concern. It's the only pain that will wake them up.

"Where is all the report the guy people at when it is clear this some young white male who committed these crimes." You pretty much mutilated that one.

I'm no believer* and detest Moore, but this latest Weinstein career-crash repercussion reminds me, like some posts above, of Summer 1692 Salem**. Four decades is a terribly distant time from which to dredge election-eve allegations. _________________________________________ BRYAN STYBLE/Florida * Godel's remarkable Second Incompleteness Theorem (which as a theorem has of course been mathematically PROVED in as ironclad a fashion as the irrationality of the square roots*** of the integer 2) quite plausibly applies to the cosmos and IF SO, logically confirms the impossibility of G-d or ANY such cosmic intelligence or even any NON-conscious--i.e., not a "being"--universe-wide power. ** Where, contrary to enduring myth, the accused (19 women, if memory serves) were hanged, NOT burnt at the stake. *** Never forget that the only even prime number has TWO square roots...just as, per The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, it has three cubic roots, four quartic roots, five quintic roots, etc..

Yes Kenny: don't tell kids about their reproductive system, AIDS, condoms, pregnancy, let them find out for themselves.

Whether a belief is an official "requirement" of a religion in foreign countries or here isn't required in Canada. In our law - and this is not new: "[T]he freedom to undertake practices and harbour beliefs, having a nexus with religion, in which an individual demonstrates he or she sincerely believes or is sincerely undertaking in order to connect with the divine or as a function of his or her spiritual faith, ** irrespective of whether a particular practice or belief is required by official religious dogma or is in conformity with the position of religious officials. **" ~ Syndicat Northcrest v. Amselem [2004, SCC]

It'll be funny if Strange starts a write-in campaign and splits the 'R-only' vote, while a Democrat swoops in and takes the seat.

'For instance, he would hear people say he'd become "too big for his britches" or that he'd "gotten uppity" – things, he said, people would never say about former prime minister Stephen Harper or the late Jim Prentice.' That's because they weren't too big for their britches nor were they uppity. They were humble. Nenshi is misplacing arrogance for racism and is well off the mark.

Sounds like a lot of excuses. Dude flat out drops passes and also pulls up when he knows he's going to get hit. Sanders is 2x the receiver he is.

You think DT's worth $12 million a season?

AH... more talk of 'potential over results', 'hope over reality'... 'locker room feelings over game play'. This is nothing but a water sandwich. Don't bite, nothing there. So far... we haven't seen that... Locker Room Stanley Cup trophy awarded. The team should feel different. The Avs rebuild is now 9 years in the making, started in 2008, not year 4 with Sakic and has continued to slide further and further backwards since year one. This could be an NHL record rebuild... since progressively ridding themselves of many skilled players... they really are at a new low right now. Could realistically be a 15-20 year rebuild pace. Denver is a rough place to be a sports fan right now... every Pro team on the rebuild and state of flux, none on the way up, including the Rockies, losing some key guys. Who will emerge first? It's really impossible to tell, no front office is looking very competent at this moment.

Rich, Canada, along with mexico and Australia, joined the TPP talks in 2008, all pressing for an agreement on several occasions. I worked in Malaysia and Singapore at the time. This move was welcomed by Asian partners. With the US withdrawal from TPP, Canada was quite openly embraced as a leading voice in the talks. Asian business implores the cultural mantra of 'save face'. A no-show is an insult, even if no malice was intended by Trudeau.

Yup. That's the best way to deal with a meeting you're Supposed to attend when you don't necessarily wanna go along with what the meetings about - just don't show. Yup. The entitled Government way - you don't like something just don't do it - obligations be darned. Yup. Tax dollars really well spent.

True, but I think that situation more likely applies to retired people. Unless you get a windfall, it takes a lifetime to accumulate that much wealth, especially on a small income.

Low tax states have been subsidizing high tax states for decades. It is way beyond time to eliminate the subsidy by no longer allowing these blue state citizens to deduct their state income tax. As for the property tax deduction, one of the reason housing prices have skyrocketed is the deduction. Cut it and housing prices will fall. The WA POST knows this as does the Denver Post. The "I'm for the little guy" liberals are again showing their true colors.

I don't want ANYTHING added to our public water supply that isn't necessary (like chlorine) to make it safe to drink. Chlorine is also easy to remove from water, by simply letting it stand out overnight. Fluoride is NOT easy to remove, but it is easy for those who desire it to access it via tablets or toothpaste. You say that we are free to request estrogen be added to our public water but would deny us the right to demand fluoride be excluded from it. I was being facetious and hypothetical to show how unfair your advocacy of forced fluoridation is, but it's impossible to change the mind of a man over an issue that affects his pocketbook, and you are most likely profiting handsomely from your shilling for Big Fluoride. That makes you a vile and despicable person, as well as a huge hypocrite.

Multiculturalism brings out the racist in all of us. Birds of a feather stick together.

The countdowns aren't intended for drivers, and they can't be "precise". You might notice that sometimes the green lasts quite a bit longer than the countdown, especially when there's a transit vehicle loading nearside. Transit priority in particular throws it off. You don't see it very often in Toronto (they're pretty open in that they don't think the drivers could handle obeying the signals instead of watching opposing traffic), but in areas where say NB traffic gets a protected left at start of green cycle, and SB gets protected left at the end, that the ped lights won't count down at the same time anyway. Streetcars, cyclists, and peds very much belong on Toronto's streets, which were laid out in the 19th century and never intended for large numbers of cars. They're not highways and never will be. Deal with it. Cars are a low priority in big cities due to their inefficiency. They're necessary for some purposes but what Toronto has now is well beyond that.

They should be sprinkling birth control.

If this was so important to this woman, why wait until this point? Seems ironic, right? Guess if you don't plan on seeking national office or Hollywood exposure, rape of minors is okay.

All fluff; as fluffy as both of the cabinet ministers featured trying to pretend that their dithering leader is doing anything more than burying yet another ill-conceived and then even more poorly implemented election promise. The political winds tell the PMO that the public has no appetite for foreign military adventures; no matter how they are packaged. The gutting of the defence budget in combination with Mr Trudeau’s under-reported commitments in Syria, the Ukraine and the Baltics has left the CF unable to mount or sustain even the most modest of new missions; let alone one at strategic distances and demanding our own strategic backup. The ministers are left wafting in the wind; the PM is off on another world tour singing his own praises while pretending this issue is someone else’s problem. And judging by the interest being shown in the comments here, very few care.

and the apec leaders sing... pass the dutchie on the left hand side

"The second is the damage that former prime minister Stephen Harper inflicted on his own party during the last election campaign, when he criticized women who wear the niqab.." Really? What did Harper call women who wear the niqab?

I believe that NOTHING can kill God's presence in the soul, that there is no need for repentance if one is following one's well-formed conscience, and that God's mercy trumps all. I do not fear God, I love God. I fall often but I never doubt His mercy and He never doubts my intentions. Bishop Morlino's stance exactly matches the Pharisees and others who felt so threatened by divine compassion that they tried (unsuccessfully) to snuff it out. Their kind was a scandal 2,000 years ago and they continue to be a scandal today.

The reason I have always supported Trump was that he might force the Canadian Govt to have a semblance of common sense and look after Canadian interests. This outcome if the deal is canceled is good, but a very poor way of doing it, which will reflect badly on Canadians. As some one who has traveled in Asia to think Canadians can compete against people who can and do live on a $1 a day is crazy.

You shouldn't leave your farm. Your bovine friends are the only ones who can understand you.

The theological gymnastics these CINOs (Christian in Name Only) go through to rationalize people like Trump and Moore must be exhausting. On the other hand it does earn them a 10 from the Russian judge.

"lost more than 90 per cent of lands it once controlled in Iraq and Syria where the group declared a caliphate in June 2014." So al-Baghdadi is holed up in the last Daesh rat-hole he has left? Instead waiting for the drone or bullet that will punch his ticket to the dung heap of history, wasn't his filthy ISIS flag supposed to be flying over the Vatican by now?

How does having almost the lowest debt to gdp of any country make Russia bankrupt? And their gdp is not wildly inflated by the constant churn of meaningless financial services, as is the USA and other western countries. It is true that Russia was a gangster nation for many years after Peristroika. However things have changed and the rule of law has gradually being restored. Perhaps you can gradually update your POV.

Who'd he win the other Super Bowl with? I don't remember.

But claiming it is a religious thing they think gives full weight to their argument about being allowed to wear it.

1/x @JustinTrudeau lives up to his word: Canada doesn’t cave on TPP despite enormous pressure to agree to the deal and invariable criticism for agt at any price. Key sticking points said to be auto, agriculture, culture and IP. What’s behind these issues? Two additional thoughts on TPP. First, Canada was late to TPP talks. In order to enter, Conservatives agreed that Canada would have no “veto authority”. In other words, it could never be sole opponent on a chapter. Left negotiators in a very weak position. With the U.S. out and the chance to rethink some of the TPP provisions, that condition was gone. Far stronger position than the Conservative approach, which left Canada in a potential take-it-or-leave-it dilemma on key issues (obviously they took the deeply flawed deal).

When it come to race, racism, guilt, being scared, the caucasians fill their diapers with excrement shame. Once the caucasians extinct, there will be love, harmony and peace. Amen.

Not everything that hurts your feelings is illegal.

In fairness? At least say you wont show up, to have leaders of many countries waiting for a no show doesnt send a good message.

Follow this accusation up with facts please.

Nuclear Power is the ultimate kick the can down the road.

King Henry went to the Archbishop of Canterbury, Warham, to get a dispensation. Warham was in a political fight with the King and refused; but the King twisted his arm, and Warham gave in. Twenty-some years later, it was obvious that Catherine, now in menopause, was not going to give Henry VIII the son he desperately craved. (This wasn't just male chauvinism; the last time an English king's only surviving child was a woman, there was a civil war.) And the incest that Henry was committing was preying on his mind -- that he had fallen in love with Anne Boleyn was irrelevant. Church marriage law says that if any party to the marriage is acting under duress, the marriage is void. Since Henry VII had pressured Archbishop Warham into granting the dispensation, Henry VIII asked for an annulment on the grounds that the dispensation was improperly given.

Women in Hollywood were more concerned about their careers/

Niqabis are as representative of most Muslims, as the Westboro Baptist Church is of most Christians. I don't see mainstream Christians defending the Westboro Baptist Church by claiming opponents are "Christianophobic". Please stop calling disapproval of the niqab with "Islamophobia".

At least this time you did not answer your own questions.

Oh no! You mean we won't be prom queen this year?

The simple answer is speed cameras. I wouldn't be surprised if Ontario is the only province not using them. Unfortunately, enforcing the law is intensely politically unpopular.

Under Justin, Canada has become an unreliable ally.

It sure is. now EVERYONE can be accused of sexual abuse, and it doesn't matter if it's even true, just as long as it dilutes and numbs the population to the real perpetrators. Harvey Weinstein and Jeff Epstein will be the beneficiaries of this agenda and will get off the hook, or maybe with just a slap on the wrist.. Their abuse of the innocent will continue. It wouldn't surprise me if Harvey Weinstein and George Soros were funding the attack on Moore. it's right in the Alinsky handbook. Certainly Bezos is right there.

Good. Now, get to the root of this epidemic: Big Pharma. They lied about their opioids - said they weren't addictive. They churn out propaganda campaigns against alternative pain therapies, including cannabis and other choices. Sue them big-time and put every Doctor who prescribes them under scrutiny - i.e. oxycodone must be the last resort, not the first. 4 out of 5 addicts started with a prescription for oxycodone.

Add to that the irresponsible and cruel cuts to medical deductions, student loan deductions, loss of property deducations, adoption deductions, and deductions for rare disease research... all while leabing the carried interest loophole Trump promised to close wide open. A wet kiss to businesses and the idle rich (all, making more now than nearly any previous time), paid for on the backs of the poor, middle class, elderly, and infirm. What they can't pay for by stealing from the poor is just piled onto the deficit they claim to care about... To the tune of 1.5 trillion.

as I read it. Their assests were frozen. idk it may be the Dumb STATE of Hawaii or the entity that sought to freeze their assets, maybe Chin should be investigating the collusion between the State of Hawaii and/or the entity that froze the Kealoha's assets and the Kealoha's. The pair must be in a better position, if guilty I assume they lose their assets and if they are exonerated they have no bills from the State of Hawaii supplied Lawyers?

The 44% that pay no taxes will not be happy with whatever handouts they get. Make those that pay taxes get second jobs so Democrats can spend freely giving it away.

Second, TPP was not Liberals’ trade deal. CETA was top priority, then NAFTA. Big concessions in deal where participation was primarily defensive - Canada didn’t want to be out of a deal that included US - never made sense, especially with key strategic goal for participation gone... ...thread from Michael Geist!...

C'mon, you Leaf fans are being mean to us Hab fans. It isn't fair, we don't like that. I know we hurled insults on your articles for years because we had a better record, but now that things are swinging would you please stop insulting our team because we find it frustrating. Also, if you don't mind, throw in the odd comment about how well we played against a tired team and were just victims of the Ref's and video review.. Makes us feel better. Thanks.

IN THIS AGE OF BERGDAHL, they will PROMOTE SILVERIA !

Maybe the issue is they want to talk trade at these meetings, which does not interest Trudeau. I bet if they talked gender issues he would have been first in the room.

Harvey Weinstein has since been completely ostracized from polite society. Meanwhile scum bag Moore is raising money specifically off the fact that he molested a14 year old.

Moosie: that is what some of the characters on here fail to understand, hockey is a team sport, it isn't the goalie's nor the coach's fault or anyone person. When things fall short, others must pick up the pieces, or you end up with team failure.

Wearing it has nothing to do with religion - but saying it does , they think it gives them power to say 'you are treading on my religious beliefs'

you mean like colonel by canal in ottawa built by irish indentured workers many of whom died from malaria or the panama canal built by black slaves which one pray tell

I agree with you 100% except he should say that in advance (we are assuming this, maybe he just slept in) and tell them Canada will not be attending.

Jesus and Co. have more historical basis than Paul Bunyan, but less than Santa Claus,

However, Catherine did not want her marriage annulled. She claimed that she loved Henry; a dubious claim at best, since Henry did not treat her well. It is far more likely that Catherine did not want her daughter, Mary, to lose her place as Henry's only legitimate child. Should Henry remarry and have a son, this son would take precedence over Mary as Henry's heir. So, Catherine counter-attacked on two fronts: One based in Church marriage law, the other political. In Church marriage law, in order for a marriage to be valid, two things must happen. The first is an exchange of vows before witnesses, and there was no question that Catherine and Arthur did this. The second is that the marriage must be consummated. Catherine claimed that she and Arthur had never had intercourse. Thus, the dispensation was irrelevant, and her marriage to Henry was, in fact, her first marriage.

When my autistic son was in preschool, my husband and I had him on a very strict diet - in case food intolerances were part of his problem. I filled out all the preschool's paperwork, saying that I would provide my son's snack and that the school could only give him tap water (nothing sweetened). I then met with the staff and told them this in person. They seemed bewildered by my rules. "Can we give him chocolate milk?" They called and asked me one day. "It's organic." I grieve for the family of this beautiful boy, but I am not shocked it happened.

This was a rather basic, boring article. Would appreciate that 20 seconds of time back.

Just to be fair, I get tired of the "teenagers were middle aged" arguments. They are uninformed. People were NOT only living to be 50 way back when. The "average" life expectancy included childhood death which has largely been eliminated now. Even the Bible says that most humans see 70 or 80 years. Look through any family tree and you'll see this is so. Early marriage was common because large families were desirable due to agrarian society, NOT because they were dropping dead in their 40s. You couldn't have 8 or 10 kids and be a 35 year old bride, biological clock and all...

>>We want to stay with my auntie and we'd like to live in Canada Oh, but of course, let us accommodate this very reasonable request... What else you might need? We are a very accommodating nation (tell your relatives and neighbors too).

So losing a presidential election gives you immunity for any wrongdoing? What a fascinating revelation about our legal system.

Eugene is picking up leaves on Saturday and Sunday ? This is about the only benefit I directly receive for $4800 a year in property taxes, so I want to take full advantage.

This initiative will never take effect. It officially kicks in on Jan. 1, but gives the city council 6 months to repeal. Since the mayor and most of the city council are against the bill, it will no doubt be repealed with promises to implement a "light" version in the future. Since most new development in the city is through special permit zones, the city council will selectively require developments to include green roofs as a way to show commitment to the principle of the initiative.

Stop spreading un-truths. The njab has NOTHING to do with religion.

Check the subsidence levels at Pruhdoe Bay. Maybe it's all just global warming, but that is not where the discussions have lead.

...pics and film of Abe and JT from APEC summit says otherwise eh!...

Especially as he was in the area after traveling half way round the world. Failing to meet them was both lack of diplomacy and bad manners. Just not ready, and now starting to show he never will be.

Cold feet. Donald Trump might not approve.

Canada has become a country of handouts,everyone wants a handout ,and the working person wanting to get ahead has to pay for it.

Oh don't worry scott, there are a number of people in this comments board who DO think Canadians should be Competing against those people making $1 a day, and they even Like the idea. And they all work for the Federal/Provincial/Municipal Government and take in $70 000 plus per year from the Taxes Extracted from those Hapless Competitors. As long as their Pensions stay Gold, they don't give a ________!!

reliable sources, or as per usual, your brown eyes are even more prominent...

Freddie: I agree, my only issue is that their "consistency meter" is not where it should be at this time of year. But hey, if they get it before the other teams, watch out?

Sessions is trying to fix this mess. I wonder how many pharmacy robberies and deaths we're having?

Its OK, he just slept in and would like it rescheduled for the afternoon, late afternoon... :)

"finished-off ISIS" is wishful thinking, so long as its sponsors, benefactors and weapons suppliers; Saudi Arabia, Israel, the USA, etc. have a need to generate chaos and regime change in countries where the leadership do not follow their demands.
