Veteran firefighters have described the situation at Grenfell as "unprecedented." They are entirely correct, of course: what happened last night was very, very unusual.\n\nThe same adjectives would be used if a fire were to occur at a handful of major sites in Toronto. In each case we have a large, multi-storey facility built next to at least one high-pressure pipeline carrying flammable liquids. Since these pipelines operate at pressures in excess of 1,000 psi, a release next to any of these buildings would present an emergency of the highest order.\nIf a release were followed by ignition, Toronto could see a situation very much like Grenfell or Megantic... an inferno that would make headlines around the world.\n\nOntario has very sensible prohibitions against development near "human-made hazards" such as transmission pipelines. The Province (TSSA) has a 200 metre setback requirement for buildings that would be difficult to evacuate.\n\nNone of this has stopped the City from continuing [TBC]

Lets see...the team has been in an offensive funk with RISP but yet Cargo is still hitting 5th? Right now he looks awful as nobody is throwing him strikes since he flails at everything way outside. He picked an awful time to look so bad being his contract year. I would hit him 7th as Black can't worry about hurting his feelings until either he hits better or someone else can step in to produce.\n\nWhat more can be said about Lyles that hasn't already been mentioned....I just wonder why Black has used him in the situations he has in his last 2 appearances. If it is not mop-up duty, that name should never be summoned.\n\nThe Amarista pinch hit was a tough call as its easy to second guess...Chatwood was only at 79 pitches and could have gone one or two more innings the way he was going...Knowing Cole would be gone the next inning plus the way Chatwood handles the bat probably would have leaned me to keeping him pitch but its a gut decision that didn't work out well.

It sucks this happened, but the only thing left to do is install a new rule saying that any edits like this must be submitted to an teacher/administrator for review. Having "Trump" on a t-shirt is no different than that "bold" hairstyle and clothing choice someone thought was cool in '84. It may be frowned upon or laughed at later, but it was still a student's choice and not directly offensive (no matter how much anyone dislikes Trump, a campaign t-shirt with his name on it isn't defined as offensive).

"True, and a real problem in the UK where physicians reroute their patients into the private care sector and then treat them, for more."\n\nAnd your evidence to support that statement is what? When and where was it ever a real problem in the UK? It was an old myth put about by Old Labour back in the 70's to try an explain their amazing mismanagement of the NHS.\n\nI do know that when New Labour "audited" Dr's practices to highlight all the abuses, they found very little. They also found they owed quite a few Dr's addition pay because they were working longer hours than contracted - strangely that didn't get much attention\n\nCertainly, since Gordon Brown encouraged the NHS to buy capacity from the Private sector, waiting lists have gone down.

As the Monty Python school of theology underscored "Every sperm is sacred" there is no way the RCC will accept gay relationships as equal to hetero. The sperm will never connect with an egg, unless in in vitro fertilization which for the RCC is a no-no.\nThis anti-gay position is ironic given the RCC is the last & largest closet of gay members left in western society. The RCC & Islam are ecumenical with one another in the being anti-gay, and maintaining hierarchy of male clergy. How many female imams?\nThis article pleads for inclusion politely. Politeness is not a convincing argument, nor reason with the RCC. It's a power ideology that is the MO imperative.\nNo matter how polite this article wouldn't see the light of day in the other NCR!

In fact, there was tremendous construction of rental units since 1991, except they are called condominiums. In the Toronto CMA 60% of all new condominiums built in the last 5 years were purposely purchased as rental units. Why? Because most people are too smart to trust the government not to put in rent controls. And before someone says "those are not real rental units" they are exactly rental units that are covered by the Rental Tenancy Act and provide safe housing to about 50% of tenants in Toronto. Over time, however, these will also decrease as no one can trust the government not to expand rent controls by removing the vacancy decontrols (as promised by the NDP).\nThe net result of Wynne's desperate gamble for votes is fewer rental units for an expanding population that is going to hit the poor and other marginalized people of Ontario the hardest as landlord will have the ability to pick their tenants from long waiting lists.

The Liberal government happily approved the sale of Norsat to the Chinese, a very controversial transaction due to national security concerns and being objected to by our ally the USA. One can not help but wonder whether Canadians should be concerned about Chinese influence and interference in our economy and/or politics, in the same way that US politicians and media are obsessing, perhaps correctly, about Russian influence over the US election and politics.

I am glad this is finally getting some coverage. The CRA is 'cracking down' though is not the correct characterization. Rumor has it that the CRA has been directed to shrink the program and they are going about it in an arbitrary and unfair way. (i) CRA auditors are making arbitrary decisions on what the scientific method is. They have a 1950s high school textbook definition of how science and experimental development works that does not reflect the reality of science in the 21st C. I wonder if any of these people have read or understood Kuhn. (ii) The definition of what is science is painfully stupid and does not recognize the shift in the nature of scientific subject matter that has accompanied the rise of modeling, big data and machine learning. (iii) The exclusion of design as core to engineering advancement is also a serious shortcoming of the program. At this point it should be closed down and the budget shifted to IRAP. The CRA is not competent to run it.

There is truth in experience. Attraction, bonding, affection, and sexual expression can be known through experience to be good, or they can be known through experience to be destructive. The Church's broad brush of labeling relationships does not allow (or postures as not allowing) the truth known through experience to have its say. A gay couple truly in love would have an obstacle with the "disordered" condemnation, just as a heterosexual couple in a monogamous but physically or psychologically abusive relationship would have an obstacle thinking of their relationship as being approved and nondissolvable because it imitates the love of God to humanity. The Church would be well advised to focus on teaching the specifics of what makes attraction, bonding, affection, and sexual expression healthy and constructive so that the experience of people can be informed and made useful. The current mode of retaining condemning language while trying to be welcoming is inconsistent and untenable.

If it ever were "the only party capable of delivering on its electoral mandate to realise a better life for all." this time is definitely past tense since the ANC chief has become a chief thief. Are you even aware of the Gupta scandal and the many other damaging decisions of Zuma and his ministers?\nIt appears that the entire ANC, especially the NEC, needs the backbone you think your MPs have: to stare reality in the face and save the country from destruction by your Zuma-Gupta clan.\nA secret ballot might be the only way the ANC can save face and her own future. If they vote the party line once again, there will probably be only 50% of them remaining in Parliament after the next election. Oh, and there won't be any money left to pay them. It will all be in Dubai, with the Zuptas swimming in it.

Good for you Gerson! You do have the ability to find issues in this vast land to discuss that do not involve how much you do not like Trump. Yes, Sanders is rejecting the notion of freedom of religion. Yes, so-called liberals are not liberal at all, they wish to control everyone to act and think as they do. Yeah, there is diversity among liberals, but the general attitude is that others should conform to their mantra.

There's nothing open minded about believing in myths and fairytales for which no evidence exists. It is also not logicly comparable to believing in them despite the lack of evidence. \n\nOne can prove existence. One cannot prove nonexistence. One cannot prove pink unicorns do not exist. One cannot prove God does not exist, and it is irrational and illogical to demand that of a non-believer. In a "healthy debate", the onus is on those claiming the existence of something to provide evidence that is open to independent verification. Since that has not been done, the only rational conclusion is that the opposite is true. That is simple, calm reason, not zealotry.

Taking a quick look at the statutes at the time of the incident he might well have been legally carrying despite the sign? Was there adequate security in place at graduation? The sign did not appear to meet the requirements of law (too small and improperly placed). The technicalities matter when you say he was unlawfully carrying. That said the discharge of his firearm was definitely not legal. He should face the full weight of the law for the discharge. \n\nThe criminal offense wasn't the carrying of the firearm but the discharge of the firearm per the documents on the Kansas Government website and info provided in your link.

Such non-sense! \nRemembering who you met has absolutely zilch to do with social standing, daily experience or any other factors you try to allude to.\nTrying not to remember and/or professing not to remember and coming up with "it could be possible" or some similar BS is exactly what Sessions was accused of ..... stonewalling.\nEven more ridiculous is trying to apply a future Executive Privilege by Trump! Sessions is, all in all, simply unbelievable and incredible — in both senses of those terms.

I can see why it has devolved to this point. Heck, even the President urged people to take up arms in the fight against perceived political injustices. He stated, in part, "...nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don't know." So while I find this act disgusting, it's not too surprising anymore, especially when the leader of the country encouraged the people to utilize the gun option.

Oh, sorry, yes, Building Seven.\n\nWell everybody knows it was brought down by Mossad, the Israeli security force, after months or careful and clandestine installment of explosives in the steel beams, performed in the guise of pastrami sandwich delivery boys while unaware office workers munched their wares, the overall goal being to destroy two types of evidence: That aliens from another galaxy were facilitating the cooperation between Mossad and the CIA, and that Elvis is still alive and living on the set of the fake moon landings.\n\nBut then again, that was only one of the dozens of extremely reasonable explanations for why secret government security teams would be busying themselves for months to take down an office tower in a Western city. We may never know, because conspiracies involving dozens of high-ranking rogue government agents and hundreds of installation workers are rarely discovered. That was how the Russians got away with the assassination of JFK's body double in Dallas.

Hmm ... on the face of it, despite Mr. Robinson's sneering at Kansas, it seems that the state is functioning much better than deep-blue Oregon. The Kansas deficit is 1.0 billion, but our is 1.6?!\n\nSo, which system is worse? (You tell me ...)\n\nThe other odd thing - what does the fiscal and financial chaos in Illinois and Puerto Rico "prove" about top-heavy bureaucracies in high-tax, business-unfriendly, Democratic jurisdictions? My understanding is that Illinois is hemorrhaging population greater than any other state in the Union the last three years running - apparently, people voting with their feet think that they would be better off in Kansas! ;-)
