The left wing path of denial, much like "right sizing " government is for the right. No Joanna, low oil prices are the problem and as Mr. Cole points out this is a situation that will not change for the foreseeable future. Hiding behind tortured "facts" does not change the reality that the Governor's PFD restructuring plan as well as an income or sakes tax will be necessary to see our way to a sustainable fiscal future.

Putin is well-positioned to do it: the meeting only happened because he prevailed on his stooge, Trump; and Trump, in turn, admitted the Russian press and excluded the American press. Trump's contempt for the American people, their government and their institutions is inexhaustible.

The senate still needs to have a vote, a vote to make absolutely sure that he is not entitled to any senate pension. It would be a very important step for the senate's image improvement! As far as I now there is no employer in Canada which would permit an employee like Meredith to receive a pension after resigning because he knew that he would be fired.

I concur with others that this is a good article. But so what - those of us who understand and respect the words and the writer are the kind who would, are we not? Preaching to the choir comes to mind - and I do NOT say that to diminish Henein. But if anything shows that to MANY people facts don't matter -it's Trump in the Whitehouse and Spicer and Conway shamelessly spinning. How to reach the people honestly scared and who think everyone's out to hoodwink them and that the falsehoods they hold are in fact, truth? I understand FOX news is still running with the story that the Quebec mosque shooting was perpetrated by a Moroccan Muslim.

Why are governments so reluctant to react to these housing bubbles? Because voters that own homes feel really fantastic about themselves seeing these high prices on their appraisals - it makes them feel like millionaires. Happy voters tend to vote status quo. Of course, only a few of these owners are smart enough to cash in at these historic prices and crystallize their gains (and actually become millionaires). The majority will just sit there and watch the housing bubble eventually deflate, just like they watched it inflate. It is all built on historically cheap money (more so than foreign buyers, which are a catalyst, but that's it) - and the writing is on the wall for the end of cheap money.

So these guys, by all accounts, defend the Canadian flag that's being desecrated and the government and military apologize? Flying a Canadian flag upside down, with the word "decolonize" scribbled across it is an obvious attempt to inflame and simply trolling for a reaction. If not for their untouchable status as "First Nations", the usual response from most Canadians would have been a punch in the mouth. Why no comments on this obvious attempt to incite and bait the "settlers" yet again? I guess insults, in Canada, at now only legally permitted against whitey. Sad day when we are forced to apologize again........and again.............and again.

You are judging them by today's standard of what is considered moral. How do you know what was civil then as compared to now?

The situation still arises out of an imbalance between supply and demand - not enough homes for sale for the volume of people who wish to purchase. Generational demand is colliding with that of immigrants and foreign buyers who have more resources than generational buyers. Those generational buyers that do not have financial assistance from their parents or significantly well-paid professions cannot compete with the resources coming out of places like China. There is no shortage of housing in Vancouver either but there is definitely a shortage of homes priced in the range that generational buyers can afford. The call for increased development to create 'affordable' housing, however, is a political canard. Redevelopment costs (including a plethora of government fees and regulations) are such that most new construction in Vancouver is still much beyond the means of most generational buyers. There is absolutely no doubt that generational buyers are being displaced from much of the city.

Never answer a question with a question. One thing for certain, the quantity of melanocytes in the epidermis does not define a particular race. Einstein and Obama's father, a Luo, share the same haplogroup E1b1b1-M35.1. The Fitzpatrick dermatological pigmentary scale ranges from between 1 to 6 , from "white" to "black"; Hitler's National Socialist herrenvolk master race, the Arians ( German-Iranians) range from 1 to 4 on the scale. The white suprematists who believe themselves to be members of the Arian master race , likely aren't. Back to the question...what is a " racist monument"?

Islam means submission. It means that you submit to the rule of Allah as written in the Koran. The shahada, the prayer oath of obedience, "There is one God. Allah is God. Muhammad is the prophet of God.” is the foundation of Islam and said of by all Muslims. One must put Islam ahead of all things, even one's own life. The hijab is a sign she is FIRST a Muslim. but an American secondly. . She is loyal to a country only to the extent that does not conflict with Islam. Therefore, Muslims must denounce any person, politician or country (which is in fact any western democracy) that does not uphold Islamic submission to Allah. The mayor of London believes exactly the same thing: it is impossible/forbidden to be critical of Islam, no matter how much blood is shed for Allah. The shahada also is the white text on the black flag of ISIS. How could she be critical of them?

Still don't understand why the "accumulated deficit" was permitted to increase by millions each year for so many years.

Actually, toxic greed isn't wonderful but it would be important to understand where it exists. You seem to focus on the provider and I can understand doing so given your experience. And I will readily acknowledge that there are providers that are a problem, although in my experience the vast majority are simply trying to earn a living and care about their patients. To address the issue of greed, your employer opted for cheaper insurance premiums with a higher deductible saving the company/corporation money (survival). The insurance company raised the deductible so they could collect your premium and almost never have to pay for service by a provider (greed). The physician provider either charges you for the deductible which your insurance and employer straddled you with or "eats" the loss. For your information, many providers "eat" the loss (altruism). But please Stubs, explain why the provider should financially support (enable) insurance companies and corporations to steal?

Incorrect. They can not use the banked sick days as vacation.

This hubbub makes mockery of a serious situation. Since when did it become sound foreign policy to only meet with allies when trying to bring peace to a war?

Seems the world trend at the moment is falling back to authoritarian leadership. Things happen for a reason, maybe we've got to take a look at just what Democracy does well, or does badly. I will throw out an idea. When democracy turns to populism, rational choices for complex problems, turns to popularity contest with dumbed down partisan ideology. We get a lot of dolts in Congress by way of a nice smile, a fluffy campaign promise, identity politics, personal wealth, campaign fund size, ....... It's prom elections for gown ups.
