This new Candy Cane & Pink Popsicles approach to commenting in the Globe & Mail is tedious – plus the new shortened comment space, circumvents anyone with a serious bent for critique from truly stating their case complete with citations.

Trump's insistence on investigating Clinton's emails further was a smoke screen, to cover his own more serious misdeeds. He has made two outrageous claims, that Pres.

I wouldn't be too confident about diocesan clergy either. In several dioceses bishops have raided priest pension funds to pay off settlements of clergy abuse lawsuits, sometimes raising the retirement age for priests even into the 80s.
