The even greater scandal is the flock of bishops who presumably acted not out of sexual passion but simply to protect the institutional church rather than the Church, the People of God. They suffered from no sexual or psychological imperative other than fear, greed, and concern for loss of power and reputation. Their main objective was to avoid scandal. Man, did they screw up.

The fact that Trudope won't be in Ottawa Saturday for Remembrance Day is disgusting. I guess the saying is true: Father like son....

What an opportunity - a potential Canadian Peace Keeping Mission .-)

It's been a long, hard battle, Mr. Slott, and the fact that you refuse to recognize the results of our local election, and continue to snipe away from Colorado, does make me angry. I have zero respect for you, or for those local physicians who I know from personal experience are at best ignorant, and I've explained why. Scott Kennedy and his staff have misled me more than once, and never apologized for it. There are some good doctors at OMC, but they don't know everything, and when they advocate for forcibly adding fluoride to the public water supply they are showing their ignorance and lack of respect for their patients right to choose what they swallow.

Wow, another example of how easy it is to find racists under every bed when you can just interpret anything you want as "coded" language...

RE: your last statement, benm. OK, I buy that. But...does it really CHANGE anything? No: drug use will be as heavy as it is today, maybe even heavier. (Did the sales of booze go down when provinces went "wet" again? No, for obvious reasons, and one not so obvious today: it was then socially acceptable for women to drink, too. And in public!) Yes: Fewer people die. Debatable: Public costs. Up or down? I'm not sure the obvious answer will be "down," as others predict. Merely re-directed, perhaps (less "crime/policing" costs) but increased costs to Canadians who have absolutely no connection to drugs and use of them? Quite conceivably.

I find I'm driving to work in the darkness and driving back home in the same. Visibility is reduced. I just drive slower and allow myself more distance between my vehicle and the next. Safety first everyone....

Get a grip will, this is an accusation (that just happens to fit your wacky political agenda) and is not proven in a sense of the word. Go back to Texas.

Hillarious! Why do these idiots protect this area as if life itself depends on it? Fact is, and look it up, the area to be drilled in is nearly void of all life three quarters of the year and the rest of that time, it'll be too muddy to work. In other words, man will never meet beast on this desolate land. But you can be assured, as long as man has presence in the area, wildlife will fluorish.

So does the Kremlin pay you by the word or post?

The Politics of Personal Destruction: It's not just for the Clintons anymore.

One thing is for sure: the movie is way better than this review. It is Kate Taylor who failed to connect with this movie. The movie is designed to actively involve the viewers and turn them into detectives for couple of hours. While watching, your brain is activelly working in the background, picking up the clues. While you enjoy the lavish setting and great cast, you are also forced to actively process the infirmation thrown at you in the form of a mathematical scatter plot that is obscure, scattered and at times apparently illogical. However, there is a reason for that. In order to be happy, one must acheive the balance in his soul: the balance of good and bad, hot and cold, reality and dreams, justice and injustice. The movie takes us on the transcedental journey of perpetual soul searching while teaching the viewer long forgotten yet correct ethic values: insisting on absolute justice would be the perfect injustice. ****

So Energy East was cancelled by the federal Liberals? And all the travails that Trans Mountain faces has nothing to do with the BC government? Wow! Where do you get your news from? Breitbart? Fox News?

As a former US Attorney, doesn't Judge Seabright have a conflict of interest himself?

As a disaffected moderate conservative voter in a deep red state, I'll be looking for the Democrats to run candidates that genuinely have cross-party appeal & can peel off moderate suburban voters like myself in Trump country. Thus far, I'm skeptical they will take this opportunity. In the VA Dem primary, Tom Periello - everyone's favorite Catholic progressive pol - cynically disavowed his previous support for the Hyde Amendment & for the Stupak Amendment to prove his progressive bona fides. And in the Alabama senate race, the Democrat running may as well be reading the NARAL talking points he is so far to the left on abortion. In the end, he may win because it appears his opponent is a sexual predator, but the Democrats should wake up to the reality of the opportunity they have before them. Because running the equivalent of Barbara Boxer in each race is a fools' errand if you want to re-take Congress.

The Libtard play book is getting fun..

Asking immigrants to fit in to our Western society isn't bigotry.

It is....but at least it save the environment a little bit in the meantime. How can one not appreciate the fact we have no more smog days in Ontario.

Streetcars wouldn't be able to turn right with tracks at curb side.

"I can't understand a 38-year-old woman not saying anything" There's your knowledge gap.

Human trafficking. Criminals that should be stopped by the government. Disgusting... week after week we are told of the plight of the trafficked victims and the violations of federal and state law. Nothing is done. Corruption is the only word that fits.

PM Gomer & wooden head Freeland are not prepared & strike out on the international stage? Make no mistake, Gomer is an elected drama teacher, and wooden head is an elected reporter.

What the hell is wrong with the NAACP? Are any of them slaves? NO!!! All the issues they are referring to happened over a 100+ years ago. Why don't the do something about the Native Americans whom were treated like animals. I don't see them everyday bitching about how they were treated. NAACP get over yourselves. You are creating so much hate and discontent in this country right now. If you don't like the way things are then get out of my country.

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.

Put an end to the whole corrupt refugee system and replace it with an immigant system that requires visas. Also ban all appeals. Should consider visas for all visitors also.

Sometimes I think Will is an out of touch 60 hippy who has let life pass him by during the protest years and just can't seem to scratch that itch, so he plays out his fantasies on this BLOG attempting to relive the 60's.

That's why I said Median, Median is not the same as mean or average. If you arrange those 9 people in order of income and choose the middle one that is mean, in you example $1. Income percentiles do define lower, middle, and upper class. The middle 50% of americans make between $30k-$100k, that is the 25th and 75th percentile. The ability to buy a home doesn't define middle class.

Barbaric.

Bless me father for I have sinned. For your penance, make a good act of contrition and try to avoid foot in the mouth disease. Now go out and have a couple of beers with Newt.

Christophobia rampant.....but Christ the King is allowing it for his greater glory.

Disgusting. I don't say this lightly, but you need to get some help.

It's not misconduct if they welcome it. It all depends on the receiver's feelings. If you continue after being informed that your advances are not welcome then that's sexual misconduct.

All the stats are great. Difference is that the current mayor has done more to increase public safety in this town than anyone in many previous years. The new chief is also doing a commendable job allocating resources to troubled areas and implementing new programs and strategies to fight and reduce the incidences of violent crime. Great job.

"The idol of progressives around the world has been tripped up at home through a series of missteps that have combined to forge a new narrative:" If Justin Trudeau is a progressive I'm Bernie Sanders. Justin is trying to come across as a "progressive" when Canada has gone so far to the right wing, it's hardly recognizable to Canadians who believe in honest government, a modern proportional representation electoral system, gradual economic progress for all, including the lower classes, fair taxes on the wealthy and corporations, independence from the US, fair trade not free trade, international human rights, peace and peacekeeping, and closing the huge income disparity gap between rich, middle and working classes. Anyone who believes the next election will change the rightward direction of Canada with the three corporate parties in power needs to learn freethinking and critical thinking.

I don't think you can separate JPII the not so great from Benedict. During the later part of JPII's pontificate and his serious health issues, Benedict was very much the power behind the throne.

It is a comment devoid of any meaning.

Michael, I challenge your statement as knowable false. There is not way on this earth that there would be some sort of medical scan that reliably diagnoses sociopaths and I would not know about it. (My PhD is in cognitive psychology.) I will grant than someone may have been reported as developing such a scan, but there is no way that there is such a scan that is accepted as reliable by the psychiatric community. Please provide a source, or admit you are not really sure you know what you are talking about.

raising money to represent the citizens of Alabama in the Unites States Senate specifically off the fact that he molested a14 year old.

They are not alone - they simply behaved in the customary local way. They got tripped up when they ran into Alex Silvert and now someone from the same department as his is going to defend them. How ironic. Can they afford a jury trial, as the federal judge himself was in a way complicit in the same old same old way of doing things locally as he was a US Attorney when it was going on and he knew about it but, hey, that's just the way things are. Everybody does it, so what's the problem. Call who you know and get it fixed.

This claim should have gone nowhere. Church marriage law presumes that a married couple will have intercourse unless proven otherwise. Then, the burden of proof was on Catherine, and the operative word is "proof". Catherine's unsupported word should not have sufficed, and at the time she made this claim, she was not a virgin. Thus, she had no support whatsoever for her claim. Church marriage law holds that dubious claims about the validity of the marriage are to be dismissed in favor of the validity. However, her other point of attack depended on her nephew Charles -- King of Spain, Holy Roman Emperor and King of Naples -- to oppose the annulment. Charles disliked Henry both personally and politically, and was happy to help his aunt. More importantly, in 1527, Naples and the Papal States had a war, which the Pope lost. Pope Clement VII did not want a re-run of that war, so he stalled by taking Catherine's claim seriously. There were special commissions and so on to waste time.

Trudeau "sabotaging" the TPP talks is headline news in Australia.

There were 12 investigations, 58 million dollars spent on trying to "get the goods" on Hillary Some Republicans admit it was a smear and they found nothing ...NOTHING.

Put an end to family reunification. Our own seniors who have paid taxes their whole lives don't have health and grug benefits, time to look after our own first.

If Trudeau didn't send his regrets ahead of the meeting then it was a malicious, and unwise way to treat his peers. He, and we, may live to regret his arrogance.

Looks like the system is working - her niece didn't meet the very low standards.

King & Queen Kealoha. Now amongst the local riff raff they once considered their royal subjects, to be abused and squeezed upon their every whim. Funny how they take on regular image now that the fall was so sudden.

We'll need to add a truancy officer to his entourage.

It wasn't price gouging. It was the act of generating high paying insurance policies on behalf of their patients, despite the front line staff saying it was unethical. When the insurance companies and government found out, the program had to end and then whoosh, down went DaVita's profits. Patient safety and patient care quality should be the priority.

I wonder if he ever reflects on all the times he's pied out on a pass cuz he didn't want to get hit.

I like to tell the same w/garbanzo bean instead of green bean.

Finally, when Henry discovered that Anne Boleyn was pregnant, he forced Clement's hand. He pushed some laws through Parliament, one saying that marriage questions could be settled locally, another saying that all English clergy owed their first allegiance to the crown and a third saying that the Peter's Pence collection (an annual collection in each parish going directly to the Vatican) and the Annates (a Church property tax that also went to the Vatican) should go to the Exchequer instead of to Rome. Clement was Not Amused, and decreed against Henry's annulment. Thus, the actual reason for Clement's action was politics and money.

It's time to try the Saudi rulers in the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity. And past time for our government to sever all ties with them. Morality is worth more than cheap oil.

Nobody should have the right to hide their identity in public from their fellow citizens.

Only downside, the interest is taxable, but still better than 0.9% in tfsa.

MSG love and/or Vodka love? Obama has the answer.

"become a cohesive nation" What does that mean? A nation that oppresses religious minorities so as to be "cohesive" enough for your liking?

That is no doubt my friend. You nailed it.

There was no answer to the letter she wrote? My co-pay last January for my viread prescription was $750 in one month! I am retired and live off Social Security and a small pension and savings. The increase in prices is going to break me. I stop taking this drug, and I get liver cancer which is far more expensive not to mention life-ending.

Perhaps you should take it to the Lord, by praying in front of a crucifix for enlightenment. God willing, you will gain some of thr “sense of that.”

Coderre just got canned for it too, though.

Slott sez: " If you don’t like the content of the water of that supply, you are entirely free to obtain your personal water from a source more to your personal preferences." Yet the city DEMANDS that residences be hooked up to and charged for city water, so we have no choice unless we want to pay the expense of hauling water to our homes, in addition to what the city requires residents to buy. Is that your idea of fair?

Regardless, by the second infraction in my job (engineer), I'd be gone. Crazy how much latitude those in law enforcement get. Is this guy protected by the union?

And Calgary has been rated the cleanest city in the world, year after year. With the best air quality in the world. The coal plants are switching over to natural gas. As for the oil sands, 80 percent of them are non mining projects. SAGD is getting better at using less fuel gas to generate oil. The largest consumers of oil are the cars built in Ontario and jets built in Quebec.

There is still nothing in the dossier that's been disproven.

These women say otherwise: http://nationalpost.com/news/canada/canadian-survey-of-women-who-wear-the-niqab-reveals-choice-may-be-a-bit-of-a-youth-movement

But Joseph didn't attempt to have sex with Mary.

The police are "investigating" this "crime" (of stupidity), but refuse to write tickets for cell phones, illegal camping, drug use etc. ? Something is seriously wrong with our system.

I have run out of words; because South Africa has run out of balls. We all stand around and stare, helplessly, while this incredible stuff goes on, and Zuma the Toad just keeps smirking. When? Are we going to stand up and chuck this bunch of slimeballs into Hades?

I was interested by that but am still skeptical.

In order to prosecute the offenders, women would have to testify against their fathers and brothers. This isn't likely in a devout family...

I'm an atheist and i don't vote for touchers grabbers rubbers molesters rapers etc ... I donate my time money sweat towards primarily Denver area poor and disadvantaged, clean local parks and Colorado wilderness. And I'm going to hell huh ... I LAUGH AT TODAY'S "christians" they are totally PATHETIC!!

One must have their priorities I suppose.

Perhaps her fear is rooted in the response she'd get from her significant other or religious community for not wearing a burka.

why would you want to legislate stupidity?

It's not just cars and pedestrians. This summer, when that "find the Pokemon" craze was going on, I was in a park with ducks in a pond and pretty trees, and there were people with their head in their phones, looking at a three inch screen with a cartoon on it. I almost ran into them. Look up, for goodness sake! The real world is beautiful!

Hopefully he won’t get paid for the missed workday and will be disciplined for being insubordinate just like other Canadian employees... Did he forget that he was hired by the taxpayers to work for the taxpayers?

Get off of Trudeau's case. NAFTA and TPP are not Liberal issues or Trudeau issues, they are Canadian issues. There are non-partisan, non-political professional teams working hard to get the best deal for Canada. Let them do their job and stop making everything political.

Stewart: "Case in point Obama scared Americans into hoarding guns and ammo" - No, the NRA did that.

Calgary is rated as the cleanest city in the world. Second, the forests are reconstituted when the mines are shut. The oil sands mines are no different from the mines in Ontario, BC or anywhere else in the country. And it is the cars built in Ontario, or government subsidized jets built in Quebec, that generate the most CO2. As for forests, hydropower dams destroy more forests than mines (because the trees are permanently cut, unlike the mines).

Pull your head from your bum, just for a moment, you can put it right back when I am done. My aunt was brutally murdered by her step-son in a Charles Manson style killing. He cut off her limbs with the knife he killed her with, and wrote death threats to my cousins, and family in her blood. Had my aunt kept a "loaded gun in the house" she would be alive today, and why my family started keeping loaded guns in their homes. Okay, you put your head back up your ignorant bum again. I never expect your kind to learn jack (*&^.

"In its 4-3 decision, the court said there are times when even a significant religious belief must bow to other social and legal concerns." Yep, but "people wearing niqabs make me uncomfortable, for no good reason" is not considered to be a valid social and legal concern.

Queen Elizabeth II will be a very tough act to follow. Doesn't sound like Charles is up to it.

Most are moving to Orlando, Florida area and don't even need to learn the English language.

These are the type of techniques in how Hitler propagandized against the Jews. This in it's self is "racist" What do those racist want in the final end of the equation? Look what's happening to whites in parts of Africa. It's not good.

No, explicit language is not the issue, it is the use of the concept of "coded language" Neshi used to tar criticism as "racist" that is at issue.

moon, How can Canada bungle NAFTA negotiations when the US is trying hard to scuttle them? CETA was held up by a province or city in Belgium that had the power to nix CETA. What part of that is Canada's fault? The article says the TPP meeting was a side issue to the APEC conference, intended to get restart negotiations. Was it critical that Trudeau attend? No doubt the other participants were told he would not be there with reasons, one of which is clearly identified in the article. We had others in attendance as shown in the photo accompanying the article. To express opinions as you have implies you cannot be paying much attention to NAFTA negotiations nor have read this article beyond the headline.

None are real ghettos though.

Perhaps a booster seat?

So Warda Naili lives in fear of Canadians because she’s made the choice to cover her face. I wonder how many women fear reprisal from their spouse for not covering their face? Will any of those women be willing to speak to the media in support of the bill and have their real name published? Do those voices even exist, or is covering one’s face in a western society always a matter of choice? Their choice.

On the other hand I can't imagine a government agency inventing worthwhile new drugs. The status quo will suit the government bureaucrat just fine, thank you, now where is the coffee room, you need to wait.

If Trudeau 'didn't show up', it wasn't because there was no deal, it was either that Trump threatened him (likely), or Trump has a better deal for us. Either way, the sooner and the farther we get away from the United Snakes of America, the better.

Sexual harassment would get me fired for my first offense, and I'm an engineer. This clown is in a position of power and has repeatedly abused his authority. Is he in a union?

I looked at last years tax return - We'll pay more if this passes.

A real 'can do it' generation!

"So, if I, a white Christian male, wore a face mask around town all day, that would not be considered weird? And make people uncomfortable?" "This makes me uncomfortable" *is not a sufficient reason* to make something illegal.

Possibly. But not everyone is subject to knee-jerk reactions at the drop of any accusation.

Hi, ROBALTA. No, I'm not say alcohol doesn't have any financial or social cost. If I wanted to say that I would have. It's not "my line of argument" at all. Where'd you get that You're right, the tax doesn't begin to cover the cost, but the reason you may be correct is this: liquor tax revenues (which are HUGE and ever-growing) aren't funnelled directly into those "astronomical" liquor costs. They go elsewhere. I'm interested by the rest of your post. So, druggies are passive, "don't fight" and so, somehow, I take it, they're "better" (or maybe, less violent) than those who abuse alcohol? We may be testing that out when millions of pot puffers get behind the wheels of their cars. What community? I'd be interested in stats. So if we remove prohibition "most of the harms" magically disappear? I'll argue that one. One possible result: many, many more abusers, because shooting up, toking up, sniffing up will be even more socially acceptable--oh, hey, and safer!--than it is today.

Neko, as I have learned, it is pointless to argue with someone whose mind has been so consumed by hatred that the only thing left is a putrid miasma of bitterness and spite. You just get dragged down to their level, which is what they want. Misery loves company, you know. Far better to simply press the mute button and leave them to contemplate their misery by themselves.

'Sabotaging'? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Too funny. Now back to your fracking equipment, the land needs to be defiled some more for your 'masters'.

Maybe if the mainstream media acted responsibly and covered things like the Menendez trial or Donna Brazile revelations... the conservatives wouldn't feel so duty-bound to act the same way. Two wrongs don't make a right... but if you just KEEP letting people do wrong......
