What you can't do, …even though you try continually, is defend the indefensible. Just as you can't defend Nazis, even though you try every chance you get. This fixation you have with Melania is almost as manic as that we see when you're showing yourself to be gaga for guns.

HI:My dad was a decorated WW2 vet who seldom(twice) talked about his experiences said its better to have a bad peace than a good war. I am sure it has been said by others but when it comes from your dad(who had lived war first hand) there is a certain something about it.

When was the last time GOD appeared to you telling you what to do? What about Popes John Paul II and Benedict? Weren't and aren't they 'people'? If any 'talked down to and sneered' at people it was those two. JP II shook his finger at liberation theologians [and he didn't have a clue what the difference was between 'liberation theology' and the European brand of Marxism]. And Benedict called ordinary Catholics [like you] "little people"[John Allen, POPE BENEDICT XVI] p. 130. How's that for being condescending and supercilious?

It's not really true that his poll numbers never waiver. According to a couple recent polls, Lib support is in minority government territory. An Angus Reid survey in early Oct. had the Libs and Cons effectively tied (35% to 35%) in support, as I believe did the most recent EKOS poll (34% to 33%), which had the biggest sample size of any recent poll or survery. Also, I believe a Forum poll conducted in mid-Sept. had the Cons ahead of the Libs (39% to 35%). Low information voters (i.e. those who pay little attention to the news and/or current events) are probably more likely to support a sitting government until an election is in sight. But Trudeau's government is serving up a lot of chances for the opposition to exploit. The big question as we approach 2019 will be whether the opposition led by untested Con and NDP leaders is up to the task.

Reading the posts there is a lot of "nothing to see here ", Wente's out of touch, and of course the Conservatives and Harper were worse. The Liberals did have cash for access, they acknowledged as much, but I guess that's nothing. They promised electoral reform, specifically promised by Trudeau, off the table but wasn't there fault it was the other guys not agreeing with their version. There reforms to the way Parliament operates until they were taken off the table, after protests that they amounted to a takeover. The appointment of independent Senators who by and large subscribe to Liberal doctrine. The Aga Khan trip. The now ill fated tax reforms, badly handled from start to finish. The new access to information Bill which actually makes things worse. Bill C-27 another Morneau file. These are just some of things in no particular of our government in inaction. But of course as some posterswill tell us, you should have seen Harper, he had a hidden agenda. So hidden it never appeared.

Main problem with India is its bureaucracy, and said bureaucracy's hostility to business. Then there's the 330 languages, and what amounts to 32 separate countries (Provinces) all with their own laws. A mish-mash of frustration if ever there was. Put all that with a political system requiring coalition governments comprising 10 to 20 political parties, and one suddenly realizes, India is going nowhere fast.

Not fishy at all, if you know how lenders recover their loans that go delinquent. I'll bet that the sale was posted in a weekly/daily publication, by law, which is the way they do it. Read the legals in the newspaper sometime and you'll see how it's done.

Nope. #1 worst PM Harper; #2 Mulroney; #3 Martin. In Martin's case it's a real shame because he was such an excellent Finance Minister and he eventually got to the things that mattered with the Kelowna Accord and a broad-based reduction in personal income tax rates, both killed by Harper on Day One. Unfortunately, Martin spent more than a year not setting any consistent direction, dooming both himself and the Liberal Party which he had already badly wounded in his determination to oust Chretien.

I have never understood this long standing entitlement program. Leaves that fall on ones private property should be an individual's responsibility to dispose of. We pay for trash service which can include yard refuse. Why is the taxpayer responsible for your discarded leaves? Leaves falling in the street I can understand. Would you plow your driveway, deposit the snow in the street and expect the city to clean it up?

Workers are NOT being forced to join a union. The Unions are the one's being forced to represent workers who don't join and now, thanks to GOP don't even have to pay "fair share" but Union are being forced to represent them the same as their members who pay in and support them. This has been a union busting effort ever since the Wagner Act was passed in the 1930's beginning with the only two year period GOP held majority in Congress, 1947 and did the Taft-Hartley designed to weaken the Wagner Act in an effort to silence employee's voices. Men fought and died to gain the right to organize and have labor representation and people like you want us to just roll over and let corporations roll all over us? The rich can afford lawyers, the celebrity have their managers but the poor sucker in the workplace only had their union to speak up for them and now that's all but gone. Unionism DOES NOT COST JOBS. Right to work (for less) is the attempt to weaken unions and weaken labor laws.

The CBC reports that the media in Australia & New Zealand blame Canada for the failure. No reason given but we all know that it hinged on the Quebec dairy industry. Montreal-based dairy giant Saputo Inc has gone to these countries & spent billions taking over their dairy industry. While Trudeau makes Trump style unrealistic demands not wanting competition in the home market.

They both regulate conduct. It's impossible to regulate thought. Here it is from the law society "you are required to create and abide by an individual Statement of Principles that acknowledges your obligation to promote equality, diversity and inclusion generally, and in your behaviour towards colleagues, employees, clients and the public. " How is this a regulation of thought? The only difference between this and the oath is that one requires you to come up with a personalized statement rather than recite a prepared statement. The means are different, but in the end it's the same. All regulation is an attempt to control behaviour, not thought.

To Steven Slott: "That you choose to present a childish rant and personal attack in lieu of facts and evidence, speaks volumes for your lack of understanding of this issue and your inability to defend your position with credible evidence." Those are your own words today -- a day when you have posted nothing but playground insults to local citizens commenting in their own community newspaper. I'm going to award you a "wow" emoji for every comment that is nothing but "a childish rant and personal attack in lieu of facts and evidence."

EXTRA EXTRA - Rush Limbaugh Blames Mass Shootings On Day Care How in the world did everybody not see that was the cause? Next time you pass a day care center, take a gander at all those future mass shooters on the swing set. Now we can finally rid ourselves of mass shootings by simply doing away with day care centers. Always look to Rush for major policy input, ...and everyday weather too. When I want rational, scientifically accurate weather analysis, I turn to Rush Limbaugh. He recently said that hurricanes were a liberal conspiracy intended to convince the public that climate change is real. If you listen to Russ day in and day out you'll start to think like he does. Soon you'll be saying much the same as Rush says.

"Becoming"? Its non-partisan and long bred-in-the-bone... As an economic hooer of wood and water (and, ahem, oil - okay, at least we have the means to underwrite our massive welfare state and something that foreigners, thankfully, want to buy from us), no international political heft, but an incredible amount of self-regard, playing the "Stern Elder Daughter of God" is the default Canadian sound-bite internationally. I thought Dean Acheson was originally quoted as calling Canada the "Stern Elder Daughter of the Empire" But no matter, the metaphor works either way and is spot on: we have long been known as a humourless scold on the international stage. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/truculent-moralizing-for-a-domestic-audience/article543446/?arc404=true

Wait. Why is this harassment? He asked. She said no. End of story. So how far do we take it? If some creep asks you out, is that harassment? I thought harassment was an ongoing, persistent unwanted action by someone, even after being warned that it is not wanted. I remember someone calling me a derogatory name in elementary school. Can I now claim harassment?

Nice of the Denver PD to take her mugshot while she was still clearly in need of medical treatment. And then to release it to the press. This charge happens every week, maybe every day, in Colorado. The only reason this story made the news is that the Post got their hands on a shocking mugshot. They should have had the sense not to run it.

Not only was Louis CK accused but he actually came clean to his credit and admitted to his garbage. While what he did is absolutely disgusting and doesn't fly at all, it is refreshing that unlike Moore, Cosby and Weinstein, he at least admitted to his wrongdoings and knows he hurt many. However many on this blog will soon be coming out and finger blaming Hillary and Obama for Louis' conduct. Just wait and see.

So glad you asked Neko! Relics reflect the Church's emphasis of embodiment. Catholic life and worship is peculiar in how matter is involved at every level. Every sacrament occurs through and within material. This is appropriate for human beings since we are also material. We don't just possess a body, we are a body. This of course coincides with the doctrine of the resurrection of the body. Since we are embodied beings, our final, perfect state will not be bodiless. As such, the bodies of the departed saints are not truly a sign of "death" for Catholics, but the new life to come. In recognizing that the body before us will be raised up on the last day, we turn in hopeful anticipation towards the resurrection of our own body. This orients us less to the saint himself/herself, and more to the One who will raise them and hopefully will raise us as well.

The TPP was negotiated in utter secrecy by government appointees and corporate lawyers. Interested officials outside the negotiating process were either refused access to the text, or could view only under strict supervision. At no time was the general public invited to participate or observe. Rather than a "trade" pact, the TPP appears to be an "investors" pact which fundamentally changes the relationships between government, the people, and transnational capital - favouring the latter. Analysis conducted for the Canadian government revealed that the TPP would result in a net economic gain of 0.127% (less than 5 billion dollars), and that only over the next 22 years (see Global Affairs Canada "Economic Impact of Canada's Potential Participation in the Trans-Pacific Partnership"). So the idea is to fundamentally alter the structure of our country, quite possibly in very negative damaging ways, so to grow our economy barely more than one-tenth of 1% over next two decades.

Dick Morris has it right: "I smell a rat." Marc Levin has a right. A close reading of the story shows that there is much innuendo and heat and very little light. Do I smell Fusion GPS or other Democratic operators. Remember that the Obama birth certificate accusations originated with a Hillary Clinton hitman: Sidney Blumenthal. Now the media keeps talking about Donald Trump as the originator of the Obama birth certificate accusations. Three of the four women actually claim that nothing happened when you read their accounts. The fourth has gone through three divorces and three bankruptcies. McCain had a very messy first marriage and very bad conduct [with women] during his Navy duty in Washington. If behavior is relevant then John McCain should be the first to offer the example and resign his position.

"When the Pharisees heard that he [Jesus] had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together, and one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. "Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?' He said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself'. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." [Mt. 22:34-41; Mk. 12:28-34; Lk. 10:25-28].

You don't own bonds for returns (you own stocks for that). You own bonds to smooth the ride, so you don't make the big mistake of panic selling equities in a crash. Dividend paying stocks don't serve that purpose. If you don't need the ride to be smoothed (most people do), you don't need bonds.

Omg , the issue is that trudeau is clueless. I dont think anyone would be making this big a deal out of this if he wouldnt have said anything about making the taxes "fair" with all the new proposed tax changes. Everyone knows this stuff happens and it always will. If he would think before he opens his mouth perhaps people wouldnt think hes such a twit. When he goes on about fairness and then this comes out he looks silly. If he would have left everything the same and this came out, not quite the same reaction. Either way justin is a clown. Cheers

Blah blah blah , the article only serves to try to cover up the real damage done to students who attend for profit schools. the article lacked substance and tries to compare community colleges and for profit career schools..there is no comparison. The majority of these for profits have ruined student's lives, leaving them in debt up to their ears for years to come and their ability to go to another college has been used up! Their pel grants and stafford loans are in the pockets of the owners of these schools and they are really no better off now. You say they serve the tougher students? How may I ask do they do that? Are they experts in remedial education, do they offer remedial education? Advertising and marketing expenses exceed their educational expenses...maybe something is missing in this picture. it is called false hope! All across this country is that the poor outcomes of these schools has finally caught up with them ... they have to pay the piper and now they are whining

"It’s possible, of course, to read too much into an off-year election." "The result was an anti-Republican tsunami. In metropolitan areas across the state, voters turned out in huge numbers" One of these two narratives will approach reality a year from now. Robinson is ever so hopeful for one of them! In Oregon, there will be no change. In "Fly-over Country", far away from D. C. and Chicago, and New York and Los Angeles? Someone best be laying the eggs for those Robinson-desired chickens! Otherwise the hatching in 11 months and three days could be sparse. Being anti-Trump is not going to be enough.

Interesting. I always heard it the other way, that there were two tablets of the law, the first four commandments on the first, the other six on the other. I wonder what difference it makes to see the commandments as the basis of the two, versus the two as the basis of the ten.

The "National" has gone down, down, down for years. It has now reached rock-bottom. Why can we not have a decent announcer read us the stories. Why the hell was Briar Stewart sent t o cover the church shootings from BC, when half the media in the world was already there. I especially like the part where the "on the spot" reporter basically parrots the host. What is this folksy fiasco costing us?

Hey everyone! Line up and get yer bitcoins before they are all gone cause only 21 million will be created in the clouds. Like some observant salesman once said there is a sucker born every minute or so, probably more. The only people trading bitcoins are the original creators raking in the real dough laughing all the way to a real bank and speculators hoping to sell it to the next fool at a higher price. The true intrinsic value of bitcoin and all other crypto currencies, your virtual wallet bank account in the sky, is $ZERO.

"It's not Trump's job to demonize people in this country. A real American understands that free speech and free thought no matter how ridiculous and offensive are protected rights of the utmost importance." That would explain why Trump demanded that NFL owners fire the "sons of b^^^ch" players who were protesting injustice. In fairness to Trump, he was probably just trying to fulfill his campaign promise to "Make the NFL White Again".

Also, it is telling that 1st class relics are objects that came into contact with Jesus historically AND the bodies of saints. This is because ultimately in both cases we revere the objects for the same reason: Proximity to our Lord and Savior. In other words, we venerate the bodies of the saints entirely because of Christ.

According to Climate Change, Carbon, & Forestry in Northwestern North America: Proceedings of a Workshop November 14 - 15, 2001 Orcas Island, Washington, "...new techniques & strategies...will probably take much longer for the forestry sector in the Pacific Northwest region of North America (encompassing Oregon, Washington, Montana, Idaho, British Columbia & Alaska) to change their current practices." (https://www.fs.fed.us/pnw/pubs/pnw_gtr614.pdf) Thus, only through the Moving Toward a Prosperous Future: The Case for Stewardship Logging as a Viable Economic Development Alternative's policy initiative [as edited & found below], can local agencies deal with these issues "...a stewardship logging approach that uses scientifically vetted long—term logging contracts with localized companies, for available Lane County-owned-or-controlled timber logging awards. These contracts must contain enforceable family living wage clauses as well as claw-back clauses for non—performing contractors."

Really feeling the Schadenfreude here for Hollywood's smug leftie elite as they devour their own. When it comes to sexual misconduct, hypocrisy is the sea they swim in as Trump only talked the talk, while they walked the walk....

I have found no documentation for your ridiculous Bill Clinton statement. Furthermore, if you read the Washington Post article it is clear that the rumors have been around for many years and a diligent reporter dug out the story from 4 victims, not one. Blaming the press for a morally bankrupt politician is a Steve Bannon ploy, who is probably one of your idols.

1) The only country to try that (China) has been ridiculed for their one child policy. Good luck in under-developed nations. Most of the developed cultures are at or under replacement birth rates. 2) My point wasn't that the rain forests shouldn't be protected (They should!), but rather the manner in which the developed world went about it. Banning the importation of rain forest timber removed any economic incentive for managing the forests. So instead they were destroyed to produce different cash crops. Gaia will do her best to reduce the (human) infection. Like most organisms she's running a fever and creating antibodies (disease). Back to the original point: Let the wildfires rage and wipe out huge swaths of civilization. Just think of the CO2 and heat being pumped into the system.{/sarcasm}
