How did JT "wash his hands". He made this statement following the news. "Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Monday that it was likely Hall had been executed: "It is with deep sadness that I have reason to believe that a Canadian citizen, Robert Hall, held hostage in the Philippines since September 21, 2015, has been killed by his captors," Trudeau said in a statement, adding that officials were working to officially confirm his death. "The vicious and brutal actions of the hostage-takers have led to a needless death. Canada holds the terrorist group who took him hostage fully responsible for this cold-blooded and senseless murder," Trudeau said." Paying ransom is something no government on earth would do. It would just set a dangerous precedent and sow the seeds for others to be kidnapped. Saying that incident and Khadr's have anything in common is ridiculous.

Recently we agreed to send troops to the Russian front on behalf of the USA to help us meet our commitments. Most of the wars Canada has to help with are due the the incessant meddling of the USA in other countries affairs. Not clear how you think Canada cannot defend itself. We are not generally concentrated in huge cities that are easily devastated and we actually have an open minds and can think on our feet. Maybe some could occupy small portions of Canada but you would be surprised how well we defend ourselves.

Hillary whining about rigged election................. NEW YORK, Oct. 27, 2002 -- At a private fund-raiser in Los Angeles for Democratic Sen. Jean Carnahan of Missouri, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton told the crowd that President Bush merely had been "selected" president, not elected, Newsweek reports. ...... "Bush's machine has raised far more to try to ruin the reputations of our candidates or, if they can't, to depress the turnout" by making campaigns unpalatably nasty. "But, you know, you have got to hand it to them," Clinton said with what sounded like a rueful appreciation. "These people are ruthless and they are relentless." WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Take the extra moment to live in the moment and our unconscious habits of selfishness reveal themselves to us. That gives us the ability to alter our course, and be who we want to be. Thanks Margaret, who I don't always agree with: it is possible to improve ourselves, not to be less attentive to the world but to be more so. Mindfulness is anything but instant gratification: it makes the instant meaningful in itself and meditation, as you noted IS work.

I am not running from anything. Faith is gift free to all who will accept it. Mark 16:16 "He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. John 20:31 but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name. Mark 1:15 "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel." Revelation 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely. Matthew 11:28 "Come to Me, all [you] who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." All of these speak of choices being made. In the last two, Whoever and all, do not seem very selective. This last one clearly shows that will plays a part. Capitalization is mine John 5:40 "But you are not WILLING to come to Me that you may have life."

Its a tough call, Chris. But lets compare the qualifications of, say, Lisa Raitt with those of Trudeau when he was running for Liberal leader. (One can do the same thing with Bernier or O'Toole or Alexander or Scheer vs Trudeau). Raitt has a BSc and an MSc. Trudeau dropped out of two BSc degree programs. Raitt has a law degree from Osgood Hall. Trudeau has a BA in English and a teacher's certificate. Raitt was general counsel, then harbourmaster and then CEO of the Toronto Ports Authority. Trudeau was a bouncer, snowboard instructor, and on call teacher. Raitt was an MP for 9 years, minister of natural resources, then labour, then transport, then CPC finance critic. Trudeau was a celebrity MP with a famous name for 5 years. Raitt was a volunteer and fund raiser for numerous worthwhile charities. Trudeau made thousands of dollars for himself reading speeches at charity events. Raitt is a self made success story, Trudeau is a selfie-made success story. Tough call indeed.

This was an expression she often used, such was her great humility. Marie much preferred to be known as "A Courageous Fool" - hence the title of her recently-published biography.

[ "If all Mr. Trump's statements truly did \"stand on their own\" there would be no need for the media to do anything but dutifully report them. Instead, they pluck them out of context, reinterpret what they \"really\" mean, and spin them for one, two, or three days depending on how long they think they can gain political advantage from it. In Mr. Trump's case, this is being done by the liberal media supporting Mrs. Clinton, as well as by much of the conservative media who support the old guard GOP who fear losing power in their own party. This is not to imply that Mr. Trump does not say some stunningly uninformed things from time to time, but not the steady stream spoon fed to us by the media, and not every comment on every topic as they would lead us to believe.

Both did not denounce Trump until after many letters and opinion stories from liberals demanded they do so. Trumps words from years ago didn't stop voters who saw him as the much better choice than Clinton who was beyond any doubt to most dishonest and untrustworthy major party person to ever run for president . If they continue to disrespect him as Alaska liberals want them to do , it will hurt our state. It's time for liberals to face the fact that they ran a poor quality candidate and lost. Just as Alaska liberals do every two years against Don Young and can't figure out for the life of them why they lose. At least Trump wants to bring American's together , unlike Obama who worked to divide us based on color and how much we earn. Under Trump the sky is the limit and American's will come first .

I can't agree with the idea that diplomaccy will do anything positive. We know what type of character Kim has shown himself to be. He is ruthless, a killer of kin and friends. He can't be trusted to act with Judeo-Christian, or western values. To negotiate with him simply gives him legitimacy in his eyes, a trump card that the west is weak. It would only embolden him to carry on as he has been, likely with even more impunity. He wants power internationally just as he has exerted within his country. A man will not change his ways unless he experiences a severe traumatic event. That event is not likely to come from within his country. That leaves only externally sourced events. That event won't come until Kim oversteps internationlly based boundaries, and he's moving toward conflict at a measured pace. The time will come and the world can expect it. I suspect Putin gave N.K. weapons technology. Kim may be Putin's puppet, emboldening him even more. Putin will push NK when Putin is ready.

First of all, Thank You Konrad Yakabuski for yet again writing an article without once mentioning the boring topic of Donald Trump. That fact alone makes this piece highly readable. Secondly, it is wonderfully entertaining and deftly lampoons the creator, CBC, over its objectives and motives - casually revising history using emphasis or not; for example,what about the settlements in Nova Scotia ? Also, I was disappointed in the depiction of Champlain, who in my view was a giant in our history, although to give credit he was at least included. A cameo appearance by the PM was a bit much. Anyway, Mr .Yakabuski has succeeded brilliantly in setting the Fox amongst the PC chickens and I am going to enjoy the fallout, which I expect will have more legs and laughs than a barrel of monkeys.

So let me get this straight, you think by the new rules, they are unfair because the rates haven't been there for years. How to explain to borrowers: interest rates are inflation plus a rate of return of 4, an inflation target is 2. So the proper realistic interest rate for a mortgage rate is 6, and that is where we are going to eventually get, sooner then later. Better for the homeowner to prepare for this eventuality. Also, the price of a home is overvalued by say 300,000 on a million dollar home, what sense does it make to loan 700,000? People don't buy houses lenders buy houses. Where is it seem right that at today's prices homes are 13 times household income, when it should be closer to 3 to 4 times income. I see these new rules as a safe guard to the taxpayer who backs the banks!

I agree with what you are saying. I know that this aquarium ban is also based upon bad/no science and is being driven by mis-guided emotion. I wish everyone in support of this ban would watch the film "Chasing Coral". The film is a muiti-year study conducted by real scientists and includes Hawaii. The real problem is temperature change causing a mass bleaching of coral on a global scale which directly impact all fish populations. In the mean time we waste resources on a silly ban that will have no impact while the coral continues to die.

I was raised in an Okie town until 10 years old. My folks were Okies. My Dad used the words Wetbacks for illegal Mexicans, Wops for Italians and Dagos for a lot of others. He was actually from Missouri before moving to California during the Great Depression in the 30's. I guess he would call me a Squaw Man if he were still alive. But I never heard him use the N word. But we didn't have any Black people or Asians in our small sawmill town in California. When I saw the movie Grapes of Wrath it was like seeing the story of my folks when they first moved to California from the Missouri and Arkansas. Grapes of Wrath was all about Arkies and Okies leaving the Midwest and moving to California. Actually changing our language like Obama is doing takes a lot of color out of how we can express things.

More fake climate predictions (i.e. guess). Let's look at some facts. Increases in atmospheric CO2 occur after increases in atmospheric temperatures. Global temperatures have been increasing at a rate of 0.6 Degree C per century since the end of the little Ice Age in the 19th Century, and that rate has not varied substantially, 19 of the last 20 years has seen no statistical increases in global temperatures. CO2 is a trace gas and one of the smallest greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Water vapor is the largest greenhouse gas and accounts for 95% of the warming effect of greenhouse gases. Man made CO2 accounts for less than 2% of the total CO2 in the atmosphere with nature providing the rest (termites produce 12 times more CO2 than humans.) Various CO2 concentrations Atmospheric levels - 400 ppm Greenhouses - 1200 - 1500 ppm in their operations to increase plant growth Humans exhale CO2 at 4000 ppm Soda Pop bottling operations - 5000 ppm (carbonated bubbles in your drink)

The problem in Saskatchewan was the Public School Board initiating a lawsuit against the Separate (Catholic) School System and the Gov. of Saskatchewan because they lost some mostly elementary students, who were not baptized catholic when the Separate School System opened a school in a small town to avoid a 45 minute bus ride each way (Sask deals with large distances). The Public School Board as aggressor started that lawsuit 14 years ago and has spent over $6 million dollars doing so.

Given that Mr. Comey and the Obama DOJ had colluded in the destruction of evidence, allowed sweetheart immunity deals, required agents to sign unprecedented non-disclosure agreements, obstructed justice in the Clinton national security violation investigation, asnd then closed it down even though the Uranium One quid pro quo payments from the Russians to the Clintons were revealed a month earlier in the NYT, it is no wonder that young Trump did not contact a politically compromised FBI when offered evidence of Clinton/DNC collusion with and payme by a from the Russians.
