Please also share your powers of rhetorical observation when the origins are NDP or Liberal. Or maybe members and supporters of those parties operate with a higher level of integrity?

You'll get a promotion on server but he forgets about it. Don't guys prime time for a promotion at straight up professional cop.

Harper was often tone-deaf where the collective mindset of ordinary Canadian voters was concerned. His anti-niqab strategy backfired even though polls indicated most Canadians agreed with him on the matter. It just wasn't an issue that was sufficiently important to many. He should instead have put his efforts into considering why Canadians were unhappy with his government's policies and his style of governance. And Nenshi would be best served by adopting this approach as well.

"But don't the rest of us have the right to be free of people wearing masks in our midst?" No, absolutely not. We also don't have the right to be free of religious prosletyzers, punks with mohawks, or people wearing revealing clothing. It's a free country.

Lock them up, Flynn is a traitor.

I personally agree with Francis on this one. However if we understand the Mass as being celebrated by ALL the faithful, and not just the priest, then the use of smartphones (as irritating as I personally find them) could be seen and encouraged as part of that offering. Just a thought.

He said it's fake. Therefore it's fake!

Sad.

Regarding: "Oh and here I was thinking the Ten Commandments was indeed God telling us what to do , or rather what not to do eg Thou shalt not commit adultery." - You are correct. - Adultery happens and it is a sin. - For a sin to be a sin several criteria have to occur somewhat simultaneously. For instance the person must desire the action, commit the action, and consent to the action. If any of these criteria are impaired or not operative at the time of the sinful act, then the act, while wrong, does not constitute a sin. This means that with clear and adult perspective the person may find that there is not sin and with counsel a person may find food and medicine in the Eucharist to person's own good and for the good of children, spouses and others surrounding the person.

How do you know that this person didn't start out "working poor" and worked hard to get a degree that she is maybe still paying off the loans for in order to be this "snowflake".

Actually, a healthy state economy requires pending to reflect income, just like any other healthy economy.

This is from WAPO. WAPO is fake news. The thing about libs is that they never learned the honour code because they are weak and snivelling connivers. If I were Trump/Moore, I would take Bezos, CNN, the lying prostitutes and make a mission of them. Show them they cannot hide from truth and honour and make them walk naked in the streets for everyone to urinate on. We cannot allow progressive justification-it leads to anarchy and mutation.

"The law is clear - no covering your face." Apparently you've never been outside in winter before.

The Mayor of Chicago is in no position to be giving out advice when his city is a mess.

I didn't say boomers inherited a fully funded CPP, the question is will they leave one behind?

Why am I not surprised by the first response to this problem? "Catatonic" would recommend amping up punishment.....defined in Webster as "to hurt or to harm." Surely if we simply "hurt or harm" children who are misbehaving they will improve thinks "Catatonic." Unfortunately, top/down hierarchical intervention offers two outcomes.....comply or defy. I wonder which direction the misbehaving children would take......oh, right, defy.....more. It is my suspicion that this strategy has been used on the majority of these kids at home and that it is also the primary strategy used by the school. I wish both luck.....they'll need it.

Without USA and China then it is Canada's turn? Please do a reality check: Canada is not even in the same class.

The penis is one organ of waste extraction. You can have an orgasm in the other one. None of it is as straightforward as you claim. But then again, neither is sex.

And the MSM, SNL, all the late night comedians non stop trolling against Trump for well over a year and the AP still deflecting from the fact that Hillary was and still is a sleazebag all her life and even rigged the DNC?

Jesus, what is wrong with you people? Four women have come forward and gone on the record, that a 30+ year old man asked them out and molested them when they were all, all underage. They were all Trump supporters. They haven’t sued or signed a book deal or are making any money from this ordeal. They had to be found, they didn’t come forward of their own volition. It is not fake news. (BTW, virtually everything Trump has called “fake news,” actually proved to be true.). Thirty people were interviewed for the article. It’s true. You’re defending a pedophile! Do you hear yourselves? Is that what the GOP has become? The party of bigots, pedophiles and (according to Rex Tillerson) f-ing morons? Please tell me that at least some of you are not so divorced from reality and human decency that you won’t stoop to standing up for a sexual predator.

Oh lord, looks like Fr. Z had written about us again! All of his minions of dissention have shown up to bring us back to the "true faith". Will someone not rid us of this meddling priest!

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

It's obvious you enjoy playing with yourself, but this is beyond the pale even for you.

"Pope Francis has openly denounced the continuing possession of nuclear weapons by various world governments,....." Perhaps Pope Francis could put North Korea on his travel agenda.

Did it ever occur to you that 19,000 gallons of H2O would be more effective than 5,000? It's not the delivery system you have a problem with, but rather what's being delivered. But shoot the messenger if it makes you feel better. As for anthropomorphic climate change: 1) Too many people. We need a good pandemic. Death & destruction? Yes. But the Renaissance was a result of The Black Death (plague). 2) Stupid regulations. EX: They make it illegal to harvest & sell rain forest timber, so instead the rain forests are burned to clear land for other crops & grazing. A double whammy - adding CO2 to the atmosphere and reducing Gaia's ability to absorb CO2.

Did you read or comprehend the article? Bitcoin is not remotely "black market money". They will indeed make use of the money. The building will go up.

Many have forgotten that the monstrous federal debt was finally tamed some 20 years ago under the Liberal governments of Jean Chrétien/Paul Martin. This made it easier for the Conservative government of Stephen Harper to reduce some taxes (including 2% in the GST) just as the world was entering a severe economic/financial crisis. It was not so much the Conservatives' fiscal policies that made them deeply unpopular with the electorate, but the seemingly unnecessary petty moves (against science, the census form, civil servants, former governments, the provinces, the media...) that they constantly adopted during their 10 year reign. I am not enthusiastic about PM Trudeau and his constant search for photo opps. This being said, the policy of adopting moderate deficits, small enough that the overall weight of the federal debt continues to diminish, had been widely endorsed by many economists for supporting the economy . And seeking to engage Trump on NAFTA may yield positive results.

As soon as I saw the headline I knew EXACTLY what your response would be.

This is when kids should be taught a new language. Their brain can most easily adapt and pick it up vs. waiting for High School.

If it isn't Mr. Clairvoyance...Knows all sees all. Last I checked we have a process for determining guilt, and last I checked it does not involved seeking out the profound wisdom of Will Watson on the RG Blog.

... I've seen em in action in Germany which also is a huge used of solar where it rains frequently in a seasonal fashion. I worked for the world wide leader of solar inverters in Kassel. Helped lower their inverter costs on complex components circuit boards and IGBTs. :) 2 FOR votes on this... damn proud of it too!

Thanks for the info on GIC's. Certainly something I'll look into. We have an appointment next week to try and do something to get a better return on our money. I have no interest at all in online banks I'd never heard of until I read this article.

"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 is a progressive I'm Bernie Sanders. Canada has gone so far to the right wing with all four corporate parties, it would take a revolution to make it "progressive", Justin's female cabinet notwithstanding. It's amazingly unbelievable that anyone but the global multinational multicultural oligarchic billionaire empire supporters like the G & M, doing a great job of defeating Canada's working class, would think the niqab is an important election issue.

How bout your guy in Portland - Where was the outcry just the other day ? Does he get a pass ?

Sweet. My conclusion is that you're defending a pedophile. Have fun with that.

I'm pretty sure it's a big tenet of Christianity that Joseph *wasn't* sleeping with Mary.

Are you sober?

Are you claiming there wasn't significant value differences between boomers and tyre greatest generation? Attitudes around inter-racial relationships, divorce, cohabiting and debt come to mind immediately.

Let's see. Roy Moore = Jesus. Hmm. I get it.

Amazing how people fail to read between the lines. If our PM didn't show up, it was not because he forgot or didn't feel like it. It would be a well-thought out diplomatic move aiming at a particular purpose (perhaps even kowtowing to Trump). Say what you want about the Liberal government, but they have been very strong on the world stage and their leader, our Prime Minister, is an expert trained since he was very young to be on it.

Exactly! Maybe we'll get to see Brady's new backup in the 4th quarter. Here's how bad our team is. If we had switched coaching staffs with the Patriots, we got Belichick and his crew for the whole week, and they got VJ and his staff all week...we'd still lose to the Pats. BUT we'd get to see shots of Belichick on the Denver sideline with a look on his face that said, "My aching back, how did this organization draft some of these guys?" Plus, we'd get shots of Vance on their sideline with an expression that said, "Man, I got to get me some short white wide receivers."

Guns in the car would likely transform a stabbing wound into one or more deaths.

Two nights ago on CTV news, the Quebec Premier said he believed they were legally correct, however if not, they may have to use the notwithstanding clause. They did it before and they can do it again.

God save us from Sessions!

A chapter of racist wartime history; and the quiet bravery of many.

But regardless Suu Kyi's Honorary Canadian citizenship is on the line. She has to do something!

Unlike their parents, the second generation have been taught since childhood, by their schools, the media, social workers, community organisations, etc., to interpret everything in terms of race and ethnicity, and how terrible Canada's history has been in terms of racism, discrimination, etc. No wonder so many walk around with a chip on their shoulder. So you end with with the classic self-fulfilling prophecy.

So, people that barely have enough money for necessities because they are disabled (due to the condition that also causes their excruciating chronic pain,) should be punished? There are conditions that are so painful that nothing but opiates puts a dent in it, and people are bedbound (or suicidal) without them. (And you do not get to argue that fact unless there is an MD after your name, because drs acknowledge the severity of these conditions.) If you are lucky, a disability check is just enough to cover rent and groceries. Which of those things do you suggest a disabled person give up?

All inconvenient facts that the anti oil, anti Alberta, anti development progressives conveniently seem to disregard.

Just give it a new paint job and spend the rest of the monies where it will do the most good.

Why do globalists keep pushing further growth, birth-rates and immigration. Is it to transform every city on earth into a New Delhi?

Anyone who hasn't been convinced about the danger of organized religion need look no further.

Of course this web-fingered idiot defends Moore. The state flag of Alabama is a pair of soiled underroos. He fits right in down there.

... you'd be welcomed in Dallas too! You are outnumbered here in Denver ... buh bye!

Denver's Career Service Board hears appeals for this kind of thing. In almost every case they reverse suspensions and terminations. Recent example: http://www.denverpost.com/2017/11/06/denver-deputies-michael-marshall-jail-death-suspensions-overturned/ This happens all the time.

Just a reminder that the capital N Native Hawaiian she refers to includes a racial group according to the US Supreme Court, namely the royal Hawaiian group. The proper legal term is either "Hawaiian" referring to the people living in the Hawaiian islands in 1778 when Cook landed or as small n native Hawaiians as per the 1921 federal statute that recognized this group as the nearest kinship group, in federal law, to the 1778 group of Hawaiians. The term capital N Native was used by Senator Inouye and his cronies to set up a diversion scheme of funding congress thought it was providing for the actually eligible group. The scheme touched Pearl as evidenced by the free tickets being sold aspect of it. The Rice ruling Native Hawaiian is not ever going to be accorded the same standing as the native Hawaiian by Congress so why does the NPS operate on a policy that this is not a fact? A racial group cannot receive federal funding even when it is preferred by state law, as in this instance.

The silly ass who is our PM was too busy having his picture taken somewhere. We have a child running the country.

Canadians may now declare themselves gender neutral on their passport.

Religion meets Science exactly at the same roots: The human factor which tends to doctor actual observations to suit the individual(s) doing the translation.

As you point out, Kristin, "IDEA laws.....require mainstreaming these kids as much as possible." It would appear that given the resources and mechanisms of intervention that the severe problems presented by these kids aren't being effectively addressed by mainstreaming and that mainstreaming may actually be making the problems worse. That is why IDEA laws support mainstreaming "as much as possible," but not more than is possible.

Very disappointing, no time for business meetings with "selfie boy".

Why would the universe's super being swing by this little rock to fornicate with the native apes, some might ask.

Wow, why you so angry bud? You seem to 'nitpick' points in the author's piece in order to express your ire. The article was in fact balanced and didnt suggest that Alberta is more racist than any other province. The mistake you make - which breeds unnecessary resentment, denial, and anger - is that when someone calls out white racism they are calling every white person a racist. That is NOT the case and it doesnt help the cause to suggest it is so.

Sort of but law enforcement "unions" don't exist to protect labor. They just exist to put police and deputies beyond the reach of consequences. These people get fired and then the civil service commission steps in and applies the insanely deferential standard that basically says they can do whatever they want if adhering to their best judgment.

Sounds like more of the reflexive effusiveness we've heard before from Trump. An impulsive mouth running unleashed or quick and easy patter that could cast a bit of a warm glow on the discussions. I say both.

hogwash!!

Big fat NO. Idiots only know how to spend spend spend. At least wait for our great Rail to be completed. Blaisdell is okay for now. And we elected these clowns. Why do you think we in the hole. Property taxes going up, water going up, sewage, Bus etc. I wouldn't doubt that some of those dollars are to support their spending habits.

Still a lot of leftover lefty hate trolling the comment section... I like her, and she will get my vote!

Anyone else wonder what the countless women around the world who are coerced into wearing the veil or abused for not doing so must think of the criticism of Bill 62?

Bill - do you believe that there is a limit to the speed of light?

Whazzie, Whazzie, Whazzie. I thought you'd managed "the cure" last year. Apparently not. Please, for your own sake, steel yourself to stand up in front of a roomful of strangers and announce "Hello. My name is whazzuppp and I'm a Hab-aholic." I'm sure you can do this, it's the first step towards curing your affliction. And all of us will be the better for it.

NAFTA and TPP are definitely Liberal issues. Trudeau has been pushing his vanity issues in the NAFTA negotiations. Everything about Trudeau and the Liberals is partisan - from the selfies to his vanity issues.

... we should target SUVs next. I agree w u.

How the hell do you make $180,000 a year, have nothing in savings, and rely on tax deductions for your budget? AND YOU WORK AT A TAX FIRM??? You should be fired since you have no idea how to manage money.

Doesn't matter if it is true or not, the evangelicals will always throw God under the bus if it means getting their right wing, nutjob, conservative elected to office

Bungling with NAFTA starts when an idiotic government thinks gender-based conditions and clauses are important or even negotiable.

If Quebec or Canadians had an issue with islam, hijab would be outlawed. This is not about religious liberties or islam but about identifying people and avoiding fraud.

You are correct in many ways, Colleen. I have a strong sense of being fair...for others as well as myself. That's why I always ask for proof of accusations before jumping to conclusions as many do here. It drives me crazy.... So I will say that, in fairness, it is not me that "gets personal" - I respond to the personal attacks launched at me. But you are right - unfair and sometimes hurtful as these open lies and spin are these posters offer, I should just ignore them...and pity their childishness. I wish someone would offer correction or criticism to the John's, Don's, Neko's, Kurgan's, etc, here...but since most here are liberal and they are of a liberal bend, I know it is too much to ask. I know no one wants to subject themselves to their viciousness.... Anyway, thank you for your words...I will try my best to concentrate merely on making "cogent and logical defenses for Church teaching"...

In fact, all people are required to show their faces for reasons of security, same with getting a drivers license. Your argument is without foundation.

Moved-IN: You claim you just recently moved in. Perhaps this matter of mom coming over is something that both the boyfriend and the mom worked out before you were in the picture? Seems like, as the newbie in this family, you should be a LOT MORE accommodating and accepting. Why should the MOTHER be the one to change, particularly if boyfriend is unwilling to change his mom's behavior? Maybe what she is doing is a subtle hint that she is not so sure you're going to be in the picture for long.

Excellent reply. There is a decent number if crying babies here who are upset about people moving here. GET OVER IT! It's happening everywhere. Our population is booming across the country. Colorado ranks 4th in terms of the fastest growing state. People act like this is JUST a Colorado thing. 1. Conroe City, Texas (Houston, The Woodlands, Sugar Land) 2. Frisco City, Texas (Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington) 3. McKinney City, Texas (Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington) 4. Greenville, S.C. (Greenville, Anderson, Maudlin) 5.

Supposedly, Joseph didn’t have sex with Mary. The Bible is silent, however, on whether Joseph ever got to second or third base. That’s why she was, “the Virgin Mary,” and not, “Truck Stop Mary.” Ziegler may have a point, though. Look at the incredibly big age difference between God and Mary. And yet they seemed like a happy couple.

I don't believe that Junior didn't attend and passed up a selfie with the great and the good from the rest of the world?

Very true....

Alright, that's enough. I understand that the two of you are on completely opposite sides of most issues, and I don't deny that I mostly see eye to eye with only one of you, but you both have to learn how to get along and respect the other even if you're certain they're delusional. You give the impression of acting in an unchristian manner and you're getting in the way of good conversations. Just stop, please.

"...“Take Joseph and Mary. Mary was a teenager and Joseph was an adult carpenter. They became parents of Jesus,” Alabama State Auditor Jim Ziegler told The Washington Examiner. ..." Good gods. I see how it works here...do something illegal, and either wave the flag or cite the bible and all is forgiven. Pathetic.

I think the couple is making exactly the same point you are. Wealth and income are two different things. So while they make a good income and I am sure they have built some wealth, they don't have $50M in a Caiman's bank account.

A fool and his (or her) money are lucky enough to get together in the first place...(Gordon Gecko - Wall Street).

You're basically arguing for which barbaric practices you agree with in history, lol.

The CPC “war room” seems to be outraged again.... Yawn ! What is most amazing is that the TPP was negotiated behind closed doors by the Harpocons and everyone here pretends to be an expert on its contents. Do I trust Harpo to negotiate a good trade deal for a country that he would sell out in a heartbeat for a couple of Panda bears ?

As an ex-Calgarian I followed the election closely in the Post, Herald and G&M. I'm also in regular communication with many people who live there. I never read an anti Nenshi comment that hinted at his colour or religion, nor did I hear a related comment from any friends. The only thing close to racism that I read about were regular references to his opponent as "another old white guy". And of course, Nenshi's complaints about racism.

" The power of marketing "...... That may be - but is also a convenient deflection, an excuse ... "Those evil corporations made me do it !" NOBODY is pointing an AK47 at your head, and the corporations peddling this junk will go bankrupt is we don't buy. It is we who ultimately choose to market to ourselves .-) A pet peeve of mine - the entire absence of any promotion of personal responsibility by our social engineering and psychobabbler industries - instead plenty of officially condoned excuses why it is never our fault as we waddle to the diabetic clinic. Perhaps grade inflated critical thinking doesn't work in the real world. There ARE consequences ..... self inflicted.

No...if that is what I meant, that is what I would have said. Get help...and leave me e alone.

Anti-Brexiters remind me of Hillary supporters, they somehow still think she can be president. The cognitive dissonance continues...

Quoi?

It is indeed shocking how this administration is caving in to the demands of the Islamists in this country. During the Ottoman Empire and Islamic expansion, western countries then took very seriously the threat posed by the Islamists. Now the threat has been whitewashed under the guise of multiculturalism and religious tolerance.

I feel you LW1, my mom is a Facebook troll. We can start a support group lol. I've blocked her and I don't share anything political. It might not be the most upfront way to handle it, but I don't like Facebook all that much anyway.

After an ignorant and meaningless sneer at Pope Francis yesterday, RD posts an equally ignorant and meaningless sneer at Cardinal Cupich. Is that what your Hypernumeray from OD teaches you to do, RD, sneer at your betters?

I don't know if the allegations are true or not any more than the other posters here. But they are very suspect. The age of the proposed crime, the timing of the accusation, The amount of time Moore has been in public service, no charges prior to this one, nothing what so ever to support the allegation. The fact that Lisa and McCain are 100% against him look innocent.
