The parents of most of these radicals are moderate or apolitical. The issue is that our youth culture can be alienating to young people who believe drinking and premarital sex are terrible sins, and there's a sophisticated online propaganda system set up to grab these kids and prey on their alienation.
10
In my opinion first of all there needs to be a so to speak "reformation" in the Islamic religion; to follow century tenets in this age is not relevant. I also believe that some of the so called radicalized youth do not really know which way to go when living in a free western society when perhaps the parents have no intentions of adapting to our Canadian way of living and also being influenced by Imams who are totally still in the "dark ages" having no mind to change. As to the author suggesting the youths living in a hostile environment, I find that extremely offensive; did these people not leave their country because of impossible conditions?

Agreed! Still driving my 2005 Grand Caravan with over 250,000 Km on the odometer. Havent changed the oil on this car for over 3 years; just keep adding new oil to old oil and change the oil filter once a year. Some strange noises coming from the door locks now, and the instrument panel is lit up like a Christmas tree: yellow check engine is always on, red air bag light is on all the time and the blue high beam light just came on a month ago even though there is no high beam. I have got requests by mail from Chrysler dealerships to trade this car in for a new one. Why would anyone do that.

Not surprising, but the notion that we are living in a "post-truth environment" is founded on the presumption that we previously lived in a truth environment where emotions and belief generally did not influence one's acceptance of truth or news. Get real. False perceptions have negatively shaped societies and beliefs for all known history. Nor is there a shred of evidence indicating the problem of false perceptions is any deeper or wider in 2016 than 1966 or 1896. That is, you are quite likely guilty of fostering a "false perception", informed by your own bias to promote your own interest or perspective. So please drop the trendy "false perception" of a "post-truth environment" and stay focused on a long standing societal problem: racism, bigotry and discrimination.

Here's the truth about Harper's deficits and surpluses Cassandra Straight from the Liberal's mouthpiece too! www.cbc.ca/news2/interactives/canada-deficit/index.html 2007 (+13.8) 2008 (+9.6) 2009 (-5.8) 2010 (-55.6) 2011 (-33.4) 2012 (-26.3) 2013 (-18.4) 2014 (-5.2) 2015 (+1.9) Notice the dramatic drop in annual deficits once Harper finally got his majority government and wasn't forced by the opposition to make unnecessary spending. It amazes everyone how a Liberal can cook up numbers and post whatever garbage they please. Recognize that your hero Zoolander is on track to rack up the same total deficit as Harper in 4 years as it took Harper in 9

Baloney. Harper ran up deficits and debt to an unprecedented degree at a time when oil prices and commodity prices were sky high..Hrper added more debt than any other government. in history. He ran deficits before during and after the recession.. Harpers deficits 2007 (2.4) 2008 (5.8) 2009 (55.6) 2010 (33.3) 2011 (26.2) 2012 (25.9) 2013 (18.9) 2014 (16.6) 2015 (2.1)

Cupich hasn't moved to shut down AGLO, which does minister to gay people who aren't closet cases. He acknowledged the group and sent them a letter. He has apparently met with gay couples during his time in Chicago and has a very open policy regarding Communion. He has said that it is a matter of personal conscience and he would never deny a gay person Communion. Is he to the right of most people, especially most Chicagoans, on gay marriage? Yes. I doubt that a Catholic prelate would endorse gay marriage. But Cupich also doesn't condemn or exclude gays. Some gays might wish to have Church weddings but others are fine with state recognition as well as being left alone and not denied Sacraments, etc.
4
Kag, I saw the letter. It didn't contain anything opposed to Church teaching. Please explain what "more accepting" means. Are you sure it's official? Please read what Cupich actually said on gay unions. He sounds rather conservative. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blase_J._Cupich

There is no way one can compare a frozen patty of poor quality meat (if it even is all meat), to a fresh and local 100% top-quality beef, smashed on a grill that is precisely heated. I know McDs is not because I used to work there. I don't work at Smashburger but have had their burgers since they opened here, and there is no comparison that way.

So what I am getting out of this that the majority of folks who live in the Anchorage Metropolitan Police Service Area and pay for their own police service through additional property taxes will now be paying an additional sales tax to subsidize Turnagain Arm communities who have chosen not to tax themselves. That sound about right? Bullshit. If they want APD service they can pay the tax like the rest of the Muni. Otherwise they can call the Troopers and wait 3 days like they do in the bush. And as for patrolling the Seward Highway, it's a state owned road. Let them patrol it. If they have a problem with that, they can turn over the Glenn and Seward highways to the Muni and we will put a damn toll booth at either end of the Muni to fund patrols and maintenance. That ought to really piss off the folks who live outside of Anchorage and don't contribute a dime to the services they use and rely every day when they commute in. Now where did I put my asbestos suit?

Napoleon and his army, the best in the world, couldn't take Russia. Hitler's army, probably the best in the world at the time, not only couldn't take Moscow, It couldn't get out of Russia alive. A three years war inside Russia was, and is, unthinkable. Afghanistan has been called "the graveyard of empires". The same might be said today about Russia, or China, or the United States of America. You can nuke them back to the stone age, but conquer, as in occupy and usurp them? No. That's why diplomacy and mutually beneficial trade is necessary.

About ninety percent of what gets done on a day-to-day basis is done by the professional bureaucrats, and for the most part, they just keep doing their jobs, relatively competently though not often imaginatively, regardless of who the President is. Foreign policy is largely handled by diplomats. Trump doesn't have a large acquaintance of intellectual ideologues so he'll appoint his business cronies to places like the Court of St. James and professional Republican diplomats to key embassies like Moscow. The diplomatic corps will realize that the diplomatic thing to do is reassure world leaders that the tweets coming from Trump Tower are entertainment, not policy. A lot of bad stuff is going to happen. Medicaid will get stomped and a lot of poor people will suffer and die unnecessarily. But that would have happened even if it had been Cruz or Jeb! There won't be a trade war with China and we won't withdraw from NATO. The next four years will be conservative-bad, not lunatic-bad.

Thanks, Purg. Even though I'm as angry, nervous and worried as most other Dems, I'm hopeful the innate stability of our form of government will protect day-to-day situations from the loose cannon that is Trump. I'm less confident about his miserable choices for Cabinet positions and other senior advisors and hoping some of the Republican and Democrat watchdogs can ameliorate at least a few of DJT's questionable nominees. This certainly isn't the administration millions had hoped for, but the Constitution's checks and balances remain. I'm not at all sure this alarmist rhetoric is helping -- negativity can be a self-fulfilling prophecy. President Obama is handing off an economy that he helped recover nicely since 2008 and which will make Trump look good on Day 1. Maybe now the slacker, obstructionist Republican Congress will be more in the mood to do their jobs and even cooperate bipartisanly (if they remember how). Or maybe my feet are still stuck in the mud of denial.

The Canadians were all over the US in the OT but couldn't buy a goal....They played great and desperate D to stop any goals against...For either team to lose in a shootout after that great effort just proves what a travesty the shootout really is...I hate it and I always will. I would accept a shootout after 10 mins 4 on 4 followed by 10 minutes of 3 on 3...if the score as still tied (it would never be in a game like that) then fine, go with the SO to end it...that OT looked like 3 on 3 hockey played with 5 players. If they really played 3 on 3, it would end the game properly. That level of Hockey is a man's game, not a soccer Mom game.

Our kids simply ran out of gas before the Americans. In the end they made too many mental mistakes in the last 25 minutes and couldn't put the American kids away when they should have. Hats off to our southern cousins for showing such heart and determination after being down, and then coming back twice, before going on to win. Hats off to these American kids plus an equal congratulation to the Canadian kids for a wonderful game. This game should go down as one of the very best, to bad the wrong team won it, but hey, that's the game, them's the breaks folks!

Jesus did the impossible. Many times, in a wide range of areas. He turned water into wine. He was seen as a radical even then, dealing with Samaritans, violating Sabbath rules, telling people that he was "Lord of the Sabbath", that He/Jesus could forgive sins!! He countered Moses's ruling about divorce, explaining that he could incarnate a piece of bread. Women as priests would have been quite easy. but He didn't. Using a 1960s socioloigical argument is not convincing or compelling.

"For some reason Jesus picked male disciples" The "reason" is obvious....Jesus lived in a time and culture where it was impossible for women to serve in any leadership role in the community. Times have changed and this reason is no longer valid.

Wrong: What folks are saying is that, while 1+1=2, it is not the ONLY way to reach 2. In your "rigidity" on Canon 1+1=2, you seem to be denying that 3-1=2. Or 7-5=2. Or 98-96=2. Or 0+2=2. Or... Marty, you can be right, but that doesn't inherently make everyone else wrong or their thinking more"ambiguous" than your own.

Perhaps your impatience did not allow you to comprehend that I was asking questions, hence question marks, oh wise one! Furthermore I used the work "If", before I asked those questions and/or made those statements, so it leaves room for you to refute my comment and explain yourself. You say gibberish is what I speak, but I asked clear and concise questions as well as made rather simple statements, so if you could not figure that out then you are considerably more dim-witted than I realized. You may do yourself some good to realize that I didn't make the claim that you changed your name. Hah and you want to attempt to lecture me on English and the use of it. Your attempts to argue with me, like you have, are childish at best and disappointing more than anything.

""We did not make an assessment of the impact that Russian activities had on the outcome of the 2016 election." Are we not understanding each other? I repeat, not a single US intelligence agency is claiming that the outcome of the election was affected. All US security services are mandated to protect the government of the United States. The CIA and the NSA do so by monitoring foreign sources, the FBI and Homeland Security do so by investigating things domestically. If anything had affected the outcome of a US presidential election, they would all be duty-bound to say so.
4
The agencies did NOT conclude Russian interference had no effect in the election. They explicitly avoided that discussion. "We did not make an assessment of the impact that Russian activities had on the outcome of the 2016 election. The US Intelligence Community is charged with monitoring and assessing the intentions, capabilities, and actions of foreign actors; it does not analyze US political processes or US public opinion."

The liberals know Trump will put them in prison when he takes power, so they will say and do anything to stop him, even start a war and kill millions to hide the truth. Trump is tough enough to weather the storm, but clinton, should the people revolt will run and hide. They will be ferreted out and then things will be evened out. All together ALT RIGHT.

SOCIALISM - The irony is that your post itself constitutes "Fake News." -- i.e., you are actively spreading misinformation. You write: "Hard evidence that Russian intervention was essential to Trump's victory is mounting." The facts: "Hard evidence" that Russian intervention played any role whatsoever in Trump's victory has gone from zero to ... zero. That's not "mounting." I have a wild, crazy hunch here: You didn't actually read the report, did you?

Yeah, we've had penny-pinching governments in Ontario for 29 years, that's it. Do you even know the number, the total debt, of Ontario? Ontario spends about $25 million more than it takes in every single day. Quite the penny-pinching obsession.
6
Of course, I understand the point of this editorial. But after 29 years in Ontario, I find the English Canadian obsession with dollars and cents so tedious, so annoying, so petty - especially because in this penny-pinching province with the lowest per-capita public spending in the country, we are loathe to spend money on anything valuable. So I actually welcome this attitude of throwing caution to the wind and celebrating, no matter the cost.

It's the 'art' in his deals. In the end his is a genius of a con artist salesman. Paula White at his inauguration is the icing on the cake. He is 'born again' because he recognized another genius con artist in Paula White. I still laugh at the photograph taken of him and some big deal Evangelical leader, I think it was Jerry Falwell's son and wife, with Trump's Playboy cover shoot prominent in the background.

My read of Trump is that he doesn't form views based on conviction but on expediency. Every politician does that to some extent, but with Trump it seems to be pathological. He really is a political anomaly. He's not a conservative or a liberal or a moderate. Nor, to be fair, is he a liar in the sense that he says things he doesn't believe. I think that when Trump is "in the moment," he can convince himself of anything. He changed his view on abortion when he decided to run for president as a Republican. He changed his view on waterboarding because he no longer needs it as a campaign issue. The same is proving to be true of prosecuting Hillary Clinton, financing the border wall, etc. Some might call that flexible pragmatism. I call it opportunism.

Stephen Harper began running deficits months before the recession hit and when the recession finally hit he he denied it was even happening. He blew the surplus he inherited from the Liberals by lowering the GST and lowering taxes for business. Harper was also a big spender on corporations who created no jobs and his own party and himself. Harper predicting surpluses was entirely smoke and mirrors and it's utterly laughable you claiming a Harper prediction every meant anything.
4
Yes, Morneau should set a deadline and I think that he will. A bigger question to me is why in 2014, under Harper, Finance was projecting decades of surpluses and now barely over two years later it's gloom and doom to 2055. Have circumstances really changed that much or have the assumptions given from the political level changed? In any case, the projections are based on the federal government not changing policies which is not realistic.

Its hard to build a base when the goal of the Republicans in Congress and the Senate was to thwart him in every way. When the strident Tea Partiers/Alt right seized the wheel of the Republican Party and the rest of the party caved to their demands, the party proceeded to actin a shockingly hyper partisan and reckless manner that held the welfare of the country secondary to their political aims. Any article regarding the Obama years that does not take that into account is disingenuous..

Let me remained you the Brandenburg Gate is in Berlin which was conquered by the Russians a totally left left wing and authoritarian regime if there ever was one. Let me also point out that it was the Russian who contributed by far the most to the defeat of Nazi Germany. 4/5 of the German military strength was engaged on that Russian front and got ultimately destroyed there. People here in the West never seem to grab that fact.

The first globalist of many to become flotsam in the George Soros cesspool of globalist authoritarianism. He forgot about the middle class in his country as he ripped the heart out of his economy to bring in unemployables, move jobs to 3rd world to increase profits and dismantle all the things in our society we held dear.. The US and Canada are now melting pots of poison where every language but English or French is spoken. The people that fought the Nazis to give us our freedoms would be shocked at how we have given away our countries to leftist ideology. Brandenburg gate fell for a reason folks. The tyranny of minorities ( as Plato called it) ends now. That is what Obama represents. A hideous monster who threw the average American under the bus. We all must vote out every globalist who presents immigration as a strategy. It is destroying our countries. Luckily Trump happened and the people realized the opportunity. I wish we could.

DUI covers a lot of ground, from slightly impaired to wasted. In fact, texting/talking on cellphone has been shown to cause one to be similarly impaired. If your going to come down extra hard on DUI, it's only logical(and fair) to do the same for ANY impaired driving seeing as how the bad results are the same, regardless of what precipitated them.
4
Regarding his previous arrest for DUII: Oregon is unusual in that it lets drunk drivers use a diversion program to make one conviction per decade go away. This, combined with our low levels of traffic law enforcement and lenient hit-and-run law, effectively trains drunks to keep driving drunk and to drive away from their crashes in hopes of sobering up before they are caught (if they ever get caught). Frankly, I feel that one DUII should be cause for a decade of license revocation along with the loss of any car registered to the drunk. Same punishment for hit-and-run. If they drive without a license, just dump them in Salem for five years and restart the revocation clock at zero when they get out. Many will choose to move to another state, but that's at least good for us locally.

Voting rights? Requiring ID to vote is weakening civil rights? So if that is the measure of weakening civil rights I guess requiring ID to fly, or to even enter a Federal Building means Obama's administration is against civil rights?

Your narrative is 52 years out of date. The Republicans have acquired the old Southern Democrat mindset since 1964, starting with Barry Goldwater and Strom Thurmond. The Democrats have become champions of civil rights which the Republicans have been trying to weaken or ignore. Think Voting Rights Act.

Very true. Not having been taught history in schools any more, they are the first generation to actually believe that human history began anew when they were born, or maybe when the internet was created. They believe people of today are fundamentally different animals than humans of even 20 years or so ago, thus the past is irrelevant.

You can blame anyone you like. This is a free country. But the NY Times, unlike Breitbart and Fox "News" is not in the business of spreading disinformation and propaganda. Granted, they do it once in a while, such as reporter Judith Miller repeating White House lies about Saddam's WMD's, but they are usually very reliable. The closing of mental institutions was in large part a 1971 initiative by your hero, Ronald Reagan, who kicked thousands of severely psychotic patients out onto the street, but failed to provide any funding to deal with them in the community. http://www.salon.com/2013/09/29/ronald_reagans_shameful_legacy_violence_the_homeless_mental_illness/

I would not read the NY Times. Unless you like to spread fake news. Anyone can take a firearm onto an airplane. However, it must be in a locking case and can not be loaded. Ammo must be in its original unopened box. Then, it can only be passed through via check baggage. This is why he picked up his baggage and took it to the bathroom to load up the gun. He did NOT pull an already loaded weapon from a bag and start firing upon exiting the plane. You need to place the blame where it belongs. On the liberals for pushing their zero discrimination agenda and getting psychiatric wards shut down. If there was a place to put him when he first came forward with "head" issues, this would never have happened.

Income taxes are not the problem. It is start up capital. I have worked in public/private research and have a couple of ideas I would like to pursue. However, i have to work full time like everyone else at a menial job - no complaint about working. Whst i find annoying is lack of venture capital or evendesign grants for pre prototype stage OUTSIdE of universities or NSERC in Canada. Once at protottype there is some money, not alot, but some. So even if o spent my evenings/weekends doing designthere is zero support for early stages in canada, even just for workshop space or materials (nothing $$). Even if one puts one's own money in, there are few to no matxhing grants outside of universities. Very frustrating for people who cannot go back to being full time students as theyhave to work to survive. Then avain maybe my ideas are useless, but i know they are spinoff concepts of researxh that was preciously done. Jist need time to workonthem.

Rather than have government sporadically fund Artificial Intelligence. How about unleashing Canada's supply of real intelligence, our entrepreneurs, our "own" Elon Musks, by reducing the punitive personal income taxes the successful ones pay. Let them accumulate capital as they will invest, as they do, in all kinds of ventures including those involving AI.

"Societies destroy themselves by being xenophilic as history has shown us." Does it really? Then you'll have no problem pointing to the numerous historical examples of societies that have destroyed themselves by welcoming immigrants. Then we can compare that to the great number of obvious examples where societies have continued to prosper with immigration. Standing by...

There is nothing wrong with a country wanting to protect it's society by screening immigrants to ensure they believe in the values that the country stands for . It is silly and xenophilic, to say the least, to pretend otherwise. Societies destroy themselves by being xenophilic as history has shown us. I support Kellie Leitch and in spite of the crocodile tears from the media, she is not anti-immigrant As to the Syrian refugees, that was little more that an exercise in liberal showmanship. Trudeau can cry all the tears he wants but my bet is, and I believe this strongly, that over time most of the Syrians will go back to Syria once the war is settled. Most of them here already are finding out what we already know - the climate is too harsh, life here is too expensive, there are no jobs, and Canada is over-regulated. Mark my words, in a couple of years the media will be doing stories "where are they now", and they will mostly be gone

From the article: Thursday, Nov. 24, 2016 /Time riding: 2 hours and 58 minutes/Total earnings: $86 From the article that appears to be the courier's work day. There is no mention of another shift, or another job. So the earning for that shift are the earnings for the day. I don't understand how you are a courier working at night. Do you deliver drugs? Most businesses are closed so can neither book nor receive packages from couriers. And if something doesn't need to be delivered until the following day during business hours, a bike courier is not even needed.

The United States of America will soon install a President in the ilk of those whose "city on the hill" imperialism made a mockery, not only of your glorious Constitution but also of the self-created myth that was blatantly contradicted and violated in so many parts of the world for so many. "Make America Great again" is clearly a code phrase for "white, wealthy because you can, whatever and whomever the cost". There are some differences, it seems. One is that some who feel left-out of previous imperialism want a piece of the action and were sadly conned to believe they will do so. A second, the current "emperor" of greed is so blatant that no person of even decent, let alone good will is deceived. Third, a very large minority have blatantly bought in - values, truth, justice, decency be-d...ed. A lone priest stood...there, against the advice of his bishop. Martyr of what, of whom? Your bishops may have crowned this emperor. You let it happen. We all endure the consequences.

The Municipal Charter requires residents to vote themselves into service areas. Many of us are here for the wilderness experience and despite comments below, a growing population needs to continually add recreational areas. Those areas need maintenance. Our tax bill? What tax? We get paid to live here. Cut the budget first? Really? The Parks Dept budget has been cut about 25% or more over the last several yrs. It's about time all of Anchorage paid for services including the roads we drive on and recreational areas. Otherwise, you naysayers can move off the grid. Jeffery, parks are much more than trash and cutting grass. Get out, volunteer, and get a life.

I will reply. I think our government's foreign policy based on interference and overthrow of governments that oppose US ideals is sickening and something we should all be concerned about. Especially with the US propaganda arm allowed to operate domestically since Obama. I do find it funny the outrage over Russia coming from the Dems and MSM when they themselves engaged in coalition to out Bernie and try to burn Trump. Poetic Justice at its finest.

Remember Matthew 28: "But Jesus came and spoke these words to them -- ' All power in Heaven and on earth ha been given to me. You, then, are to go and make disciples of all the nations ad baptize them n the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Teach them to observe all that I have commanded you and remember, I am with you always, even to the end of the world.'" Without following this mandate of Jesus and so many others, we are just fugitive dreamers, pathetic.
10
Jesus teaches us that to Love God and Love others is all we need. To serve, care, share with others is following Jesus.

If this were to be what evolves,over time it would shift masses of certain production back,along with ending downward pressure on wages & increasing jobs in the industrialized countries.Granted there are big risks & disruptions to go along with that. For me it does not change the fact that the so-called freetrade deals were badly negotiated from the perspective of the average person in advanced industrialized countries.It was too sudden,all accelerator, no brakes & caused massive negative disruptions for the average citizen which seems not a very democratic result to me. Having said that, the screw ups of the batch of leaders in the West over the last 40 years may not easily be reversible without more pain for the same people. But, Clinton was part of the group of leaders. Trump won in large measure because he isn't, on the hope things might change. Whether it is actually possible, is another story,but I think it is worth the one shot risk there is of doing it. Trump was only choice.

If the US imposes a tariff on German and Japanese companies exporting from Mexico, Germany and Japan can apply to the WTO for countervailing duties (may not get them) since those tariffs are discriminatory, Mexico can also apply and would definitely get them. Since unfinished goods go back and forth across the boarder 4 or 5 times, the costs of goods would rise dramatically - pricing the American goods out of the market.

" downward pressure is put on wages & every other cost." Except wages have risen in Canada to new record highs (the huge downwards leg was before the introduction of NAFTA). They are also at new highs in China, India. Labour and environmental standards haven't fallen, they have all risen - see Ontario's Green energy shift. Trump promises to reverse the RISE in regulations and standards of resent years. Meanwhile they have been rising in Mexico, and other Emerging Markets; in terms of development, they are bringing in higher standards at an earlier stage of development than we ever did. Just one small example, look how far behind the US actually is. https://www.c2es.org/federal/executive/vehicle-standards/fuel-economy-comparison. Who do you think will develop the necessary technology? For the D3, we have thrown them huge subsidies, but we don't buy their products. Why would anyone want to build a plant here if we are going to subsidize their competitors?
4
A couple of points in reply: The increased importance of Mexico as a market for cars is a good point, though I do not know if it accounts for the shift observed in share in proportion. Exporting is exactly to my point. When advanced industrialized countries, with all the extra costs I mentioned, including wages, trade freely with less advanced countries jobs move & downward pressure is put on wages & every other cost.You get cheaper goods, but fewer jobs & lower wages, deteriorating labor rights, pressure on environmental standards etc. You get a shifting of wealth within the industrialized countries from those that earn a living from wages & salary to those that own capital-capital is more mobile-and that is a shift from the average person to the wealthy. Itis not that Canada can't build the German cars, it is that the cost can't compete with low wages etc. The D3 has little to do with share numbers I mentioned because these are shares of North American production only,not sales.

I specifically defined that basic value as so basic, even religious conservatives take it for granted, not something controversial. If it is controversial, it isn't a basic value. Neither Roman Catholics nor fundamentalists believe women should not interact with unrelated men, in public or private space. Men and women have interacted in "church socials", country dances, banquets and dinner parties, the market, etc. for the last 2000 years. No one argues about this, no political parties have fought elections over it or debated it in Parliament, etc. In order to get to a place where abortion rights can even be argued, we had to have a society in which women were interacting with men in society as a matter of course. The notion they shouldn't is to prevent any possibility of "illicit sex" happening in the first place. And although I never claimed we are "swamped", numbers is a different issue.
6
What do you think about Roman Catholic immigrants to our country? How about fundamentalist Christians? They too have restrictive views about the roles and rights of women in society. For example, no woman can be ordained in the RC church. The church forbids its female members from obtaining an abortion, which is every Canadian woman's right. RC females are even forbidden from using contraceptives. The views of fundamentalist Christians are no less restrictive to females. Elsewhere you you claimed that Canada is being swamped by huge numbers of Muslim immigrants. That's wrong of course. Christians- and specifically RC and fundamentalist Christians, immigrate to Canada in far greater numbers than do Muslims. Your interpretation of a primary Canadian value is not shared by the Roman Catholic church, nor presumably by many of the 12 million Canadians who identify as Catholics. The value that you claim is nearly universal to Canadians isn't. Try again.

"I wondered if she’d ever heard of white-out, but decided not to ask. I felt like Methuselah’s grandma." LOL - that had me almost spitting out the water I was sipping. Margaret, please don't ever retire! This paper, and your readers, need your delightfully witty and iconoclastic pieces, even if the neo-fascist leftists that populate this message board are too dumb to understand them. The description in your last paragraph of pre-digital life sounds like heaven to me. Being in my 30s, I only knew the tail-end of that era when I was a child and teen.

Yes change, sometimes is a step backwards. Take for example this devoid of intelligence commenting system. The previous system was simple and better. This one is horrible. The first comment is expanded fully to the million replies, so that the second comment can never get read. Unlike the previous system where the comments were seen and replies were expandable but collapsed by default. However, that system had a problem with sometimes not appearing. The system previous to that was even better. And the first system was the best of all.

Old Soul, I like light roast Italian, however, I respectfully decline your generous offer. I decline NOT because I am AFRAID of YOU, but the LAW is if I enter any dwelling KNOWING that illegal drugs are present, I could LOSE my CHL license. . As you probably know or at least you should know, our government lists Hash Oil, Marijuana etc., the stuff you have in your house, as ILLEGAL.

What's a "third world language"? "Generic xenophobic slur #78"? The streetcar riding demographic is among the whitest and most affluent demographics in the GTA. Perhaps not quite as redneck as say Owen Sound, or some other dump in the meth belt, but can't see that being a bad thing.

They should have the signs on the streetcar in 3rd world languages, i'm sure there is a language barrier happening here as they seem to get licences without knowing how to drive. I just avoid the overflowing toilet of the GTA and life is much better.

Ok well if you're ONLY a drunk it's easy to go around and make babies and not do shit for them. Our kids are so in love with their dad. He has a problem and he is taking care of it Saint motley crew. Or should I say your heigness since you're so much better than everyone else. Since you've never made a horrible mistake in your life. I'm sure there are no skeletons in your closet and from the looks of it your just the perfect example of what us as American citizens should look like. You know everything and you surely know his life based off of the photos you viewed from his Facebook page.

I am glad you have the courage to post here and take the criticism. Be careful about standing up for someone because as some might say, "we've all done wrong things". Your number one priority is to your safety and your children's safety. Your husband is an adult. We had a group of loose friends with one guy that was just off. He'd get drunk and act crazy. He met a woman who was very lonely and they had a kid. We lost contact with them for a couple of years. Eventually he got drunk, then angry because she wanted to leave. So he took a gun and killed her and them himself. If you have guns in the home you are at increased danger. A person with an alcohol/drug problem does not feel better because someone stays with them despite their addiction. They feel worse. Get help from people who have had similar experiences as you. You owe it to the children.

I like how they only have something to say about the photo of him holding up the finger because it would be seen in a negative light and most people like to see things for what the media says instead of acknowledging the collage of photos he has of all of us, our kids, our family. Because no one makes mistakes right? Yes I know these mistakes could have taken a life or even several. He knows. The guilt he has in his heart for his actions and poor choices are haunting him. But he didn't thankfully, and the only thing that was hurt is our car. We are insured and the car was completely paid off. I'm thankful he has such a strong support system and he is prepared for whatever happens next. He might serve some time, and if he does, so be it. Every step we take in life is about choices, he made the wrong one and now he is paying for it. So before you judge a person you don't even know, you are no saint. Unless you are jehova himself, it doesn't matter. I just want to set the record straight.

I won't doubt your personal experience - but if flights were being cancelled in to any meaningful extent it would be prominent news both from an investment perspective as well at the consumer level (i.e. evening news material). Probably more accurate to say that the schedules are more reflective of near capacity passenger loads. Consolidation of the airlines is part of this.
4
here's what's changed. when was the last time you took a flight & the seat next to you was empty ? It hardly ever happens any more. for flights that aren't nearly fill AC simply cancels the flight & consolidates it with another. That's a game changer.

As you can no doubt tell, the tone of the comments has significantly improved since that august collection of lazybones Jones took over. And now, to pass/fail 3 more comments on various columns and concerns about which I similarly have no interest, I remain as always, you loyal servant.

The killer was in his twenties and was a big boy that could have sought help on his own, or his family members should have helped him out. It sounds like he was a drifter long before he joined the military for free meal tickets.

These kids shouldn't be joining the Guard to go to Iraq, they should be joining the Guard to serve their communities. The Guard chews them up and spits them out, unceremoniously, and then doesn't give them the follow up access to mental health resources. Shameful. The system failed us.

Why don't you look into it yourself? It's not difficult. A net worth of a couple of million dollars is not an unexpected outcome for someone who has had a good income and lived frugally for decades. Many thousands of Oregonians have had similar outcomes over the same period. Do you suspect all of us of some kind of wrongdoing?

trudeau will be brutalized. He picked the wrong guy to hug last year and for that he will make Canada pay. I expect Ontario and Quebec to be hit exceptionally hard.

Notice how Streep was also giving "orders" from her pulpit to the liberal media to go after Trump? And he isn't even President yet. If they'd done that to Obama in 2009, the country would have been outraged.
4
One can't help but wonder what her excuse is for embarrassing herself in public, but liberal elitist Meryl Streep, who incidentally is a significant part of that big media/Hollywood machine with all of the power thanks to its domination of society, clearly prefers more political correctness over something to back it up, such as, jobs for all Americans, reducing the $20 trillion debt, effective American foreign policy, support for Israel, and affordable healthcare. Maybe Streep should consider that a significant number of responsible Americans have grown a tired of the phony liberal charismatic speeches with promises and platitudes but which deliver zero action. Trump isn't perfect, that's very true, we all saw over a year of his election campaign. But we've also experienced Hilary's election campaign, the Clinton Foundation, the sleaziness of the Democratic Party and CNN, and eight years of Barack Hussein Obama.

Frank, So it is not just Peggy now you want to take ownership of all public lands and dictate who and how said lands should be used because you enjoy the law or lack there of as it is written now. Do you see why your selfishness won't help. We all share public lands use them responsibly and don't act like you deserve more than your neighbor. I trap and setting a trap near a known dog used trail is irresponsible no matter weather the dog's should be on a leash or not. Being right is not always right!

Really! let me understand this issue. 1. You have a group of persons who do not at all comply with the law, and asking government to make another law for a different group to comply with. 2.There is an enforcement agency who interprets the law by "intent", (when they feel like it) and claim they are under staffed to enforce laws. But a few assemble persons are wanted to have their police authorities who are also under staffed to enforce a possible new law. It would seem to me if pet owners really cared about their family members (loveable pets) they would not want to endanger them on "public lands". I do not allow my family members to play on roads and highways,even though we have the right to be there. We don't need another law that may or may not be enforced (costing tax payers more money). people need to be responsible, know were you are recreating and who else may be using the area. if you believe you or a family member may be a in a danger area, be proactive.

i hope you realize you at arguing for slave labor, and so for slavery.. The reason the jobs are $5 per hr is the artificial illegal labor supply.
4
Re: "Laborers, by the millions, pouring across the border willing to work for $5 an hour." This simplistic statement ignores the other half of the equation - the (too) many reprobate American employers who 1.) HIRE those laborers, and 2. refuse to pay anyone - American or otherwise - a living wage. If, as you claim, "they [the foreign laborers] have the residential and minor commercial market covered", you need to fault the people who hire them in the first place. Doing so is equally illegal in the U.S., remember. Re: "Can you blame the American workers for wanting to stop the flood of workers competing for their jobs in a manner that that can't compete against?" Again, you're 'blaming' the wrong people. Those workers really AREN'T "competing for their jobs" since most American workers would not work for $5/hour. Nor should they.

Cardinal Burke will be visiting a nearby parish in my town next week. I know many friends who are going to his Mass. My husband and I are on the fence, go see if he has anything to say about this? or don't go, so he doesn't think he has lots of support. We are leaning toward not going. I think he garners a lot of support in this area. I am sorry that he has made this so public.

Hard to believe it could be worse than the last Republican President, who, with his sidekick Cheney, tricked the US into invading a nation, and through that, destabilized the entire Middle East. But alas, I have a great imagination. Lynn and I both live in HUD housing, and I expect that he is watching what Ben Carson does as worriedly as I. Hugh Massengill Eugene Oregon

I must admit the whole Putin/Trump scenario does have a Shakespearean quality. We'll just have to wait and see if its a farce/comedy or a tragedy. regards, Gary Crum

The wounds from this campaign won't heal because Trump ran such a negative, vicious campaign. He will always be dogged by claims his victory was illegitimate, because of the interference of Putin and Comrey. His inability to be gracious and humble will seal history's verdict.

I thought this incident with the reporter was an embarrassment for the future president. He needs to use better judgement . His reply was silly to Meryl Streep. However , I am not sure this was the correct place for an actress of her stature to bring this on. I think the USA needs to heal the wounds of this election and to try to improve things for everyone. Trump denies he was belittling the reporter. Though I find it a bit hard to believe he wasn't, he needs to get the benefit of the doubt and everyone needs to move on.

Every pollster and news agency had Hillary winning in a walk . Even Hillary felt she had the election in the bag to the point she didn't even campaign hard towards the end. Sanders ? Are you kidding me ? Bernie Sanders was nuts. His plans didn't pencil out worse than Walkers gas line does. When he let Hillary off the hook over emails when that issue cut top the chase as to how dishonest and untrustworthy she was---he sealed his fate . Sanders was a guy who accomplished little in his life and offered kids free college. He didn't have the IQ to run a 7-11 successfully. The leaks also showed us how the democrats shafted him . Just think , without Putin and Russia we wouldn't have known the truth.

A miracle Richard? OMG, I wouldn't call the election of Trump a miracle. Now I admit, I am not a fan of the Donald. Neither was I a fan of the Hillary. I was, and remain, a believer in the Bern.

Well, at least you and the Church are even. It thinks your teaching is without merit. On the other hand it has three thousand years or so of constant teaching and a teaching mandate from Jesus, while you’re armed with an opinion.
4
Neither you or the Church present a whiff of compelling evidence that homosexuality is "disordered", and equating one's sexual orientation with murder, selfishness, greed and brutality is libelous at best, and hateful at worst. Until the Church can present an intelligent argument regarding homosexuality -- and sexuality in general -- the Church's teaching is without merit.

"...male salamanders...." I like that: male salamanders -- maybe near some tall woman with wiry nets dropped in the water. The Jordan?
10
However, this is assuming that the powers of the Catholic Church are as egalitarian, fair, and open-minded as their Protestant cousins. For all we know (judging from behavior), ordaining women in the Catholic Church might not just be behind ordaining married men, but also behind ordaining male ostriches, male capybaras, mustard trees, male dingos, lichen, male salamanders, etc.

It would be interesting to see if the ratings for the Globes were up or down. I knew it was going to be a Trump bashing. No thanks we've heard the same trash for 6 months from the MSM.

Absurd idea horrible action to put this in the location. There are schools all over this area to include Churchill High a fair distance away. Would someone please tell me how to get on the bandwagon to protest this. I've never protested anything in my life but this I have to. This is extraordinary and insulting to say the least. I am one to stand up this time. I will not let sweet talking manipulators convince me that putting 50 to 80 convicted hard time offenders in our neighborhood. Who thought of this? Who is this insensitive? Unbelievable , people please stand up before one of our kids gets hurt. Please.

wtf6, If he had any character, Obama would have resigned in protest years ago. The content of Obama's speeches has been in such contrast to the content of Obama's character, he should let a real man replace him in making his farewell speech - Reverend Jeremiah Wright. Wright: "Fellow Americans, unfortunately Barry has been feeling under the weather and doesn't feel up to making another useless speech. So he's asked me to deliver his farewell message for him... My fellow Americans, Not God bless America. God d**n America!!!"

First off, you've edited the Wikipedia article without mentioning that fact. One look at the dates you list and it's obvious. Secondly, the UNEDITED citation reads, "According to American psychiatrist Loren Mosher, most deinstitutionalization in the USA took place after 1972, as a result of the availability of SSI and Social Security Disability, long after the antipsychotic drugs were used universally in state hospitals.[3] This period marked the growth in community support funds and community development, including early group homes, the first community mental health apartment programs, drop-in and transitional employment, and sheltered workshops in the community which predated community forms of supportive housing and supported living." Thirdly, your source isn't about "the old, vulnerable, disabled" or "the old vets", it refers to the process of replacing long-stay psychiatric hospitals with less isolated community mental health services. Read the wiki and learn something.
5
untrue; according to wiki: "According to American psychiatrist Loren Mosher, most deinstitutionalization in the USA took place after 1972, (and) The plan was set in motion by the Community Mental Health Act as a part of John F. Kennedy's legislation [clarification needed] and passed by the U.S. Congress in 1963" i knew a VA nurse that was heartbroken when the old vets were pushed out on the street after spending their lives in hospitals. did people genuinely care? i honestly don't know, the mix seemed to be 'let's drug them, let's free them, let's save money'.

Biographies tend to include all years, even the ones where nothing much happened. If you spent four years working at Walmart, maybe you sum that up in a half page and move on. But if you move from Ireland to Canada, work in your first job out of school, meet your wife and have two kids....uh....you don't drop out that level of 'nothing'. And again, it's an unexplained and deliberate omission.
4
He left out those years from the book because nothing of relevance to his career happened. He taught native kids for a few years and went on with his life. More precisely, he did not teach those kids who made the accusations. Are you offended teaching native kids was a forgettable experience?

Obviously YOU were asleep when the truth was lain before the American Public.. Did you not notice that not even ONCE did ANY Dem step forward and say that the disclosed emails were NOT FACT! NOT ONCE! All they did was fire people, move them around and make sad excuses... You missed that huh?? And you wonder why America is the way it is today - 8 years of Obama added to the problems.. Perhaps your should open your mind and accept the REALITY that Democrats are one TINY step above the criminal element in America!

To rebuild the institutions that allowed the emergence of a Donald Trump, people first have to recognize there is a problem in those institutions that failed us. Sadly, there will be no such recognition that these institutions are dysfunctional. There will be no discussion about the corruption of the Clinton foundation. There will be no discussion of the corruption of the DNC. There will be no discussion of the corruption of the news media. Because none of those problems exist. They are all figments of Putin's imagination. And Putin's wild imagination stole the election. So let us all join hands and march against Trump and his friend Putin. Because there is absolutely nothing wrong with ourselves.

Orthotoxic faux Christianity NEEDS to be warred against.

I think Barack Obama is probably a secular humanist at heart, but I don't think he engaged in any kind of organized "war on religion." Trump, for all his disgusting sucking up to the religious right, is basically a secular humanist too. The difference is that Obama's faith is in government and Trump's is in capitalism. The U.S. is moving into a secular era in government and, on the whole, I think that's probably a good thing. When religion has an undue influence on government it becomes oppressive. It also becomes corrupted. The separation of church and state is really for the benefit of both institutions.
