Thank you Globe and Mail for publishing this article describing just how dire the situation is for animals in Canada. The transportation laws are just one issue; the treatment they endure on factory farms are another issue it would be good to see more coverage on. It is embarrassing that Canada lags so far behind Europe and other western countries as far as the treatment of farmed animals goes. I'm very thankful to organizations like Animal Justice for speaking up and trying to improve animals' lives. | 00 | not toxic |

Absolute rubbish. High immigration levels and restrictive land use guarantee seven figure home prices indefinitely.

Republicans been unable to put together a plan (despite saying they were going to replace the ACA for the past 8 years), and now GOP politico's are anxious about the political fallout from ending coverage It gets worse, WA Democrats Cantwell and Murray voted against giving Americans access to cheaper Canadian pharmaceuticals which won't help keep down medical costs. Now ACA covers more of our citizens, kept pre-existing conditions from disqualifying people from insurance coverage, and covered adult children to age 26 on their parent's insurance.

What you fail to understand that being a member of a protected class does not grant you special rights.
If you are gay, that does not mean you can demand a political or terrorist type cake can be made for you. It just means that you have the same rights as everyone else.
Every person is a member of a protected class, think about it.
Here are some protected classes in Colorado:
Race, Color, Disability, Sex, Sexual Orientation (including Transgender Status), National Origin/ Ancestry, Creed, Marital Status,
Every person is a member of at least one of those. That does not grant a person any special rights.
So, your gay KKK guy does not have some special right that grants him the ability to force anyone to make political or as you call it, ‘terrorist’ type, pastries or baked items. | 00 | not toxic |

I do not understand how Trump (or any other adult) could have SO little self-control that he cannot ever restrain himself from tweeting excerpts of his whiny tantrums du jour -- with foreseeable results. This time, of course, he sent millions of people online to watch & forward (and talk about) the SNL skit, turning a tame spoof into a news item.
Surely even Trump must know that, even before TV, most major-party nominees & all Presidents have been continually mocked by comedians, indeed skewered by the sharpest ones (e.g., Will Rogers, Mort Sahl, Jon Stewart & Bill Maher...). SNL certainly has repeatedly lampooned Obama throughout his presidency and it continues to mock Clinton.

Harbor Freight has a 12-volt dual horn that produces 135 decibels for $14.99.
135 dB is 'louder than a gunshot' but there is no 'nausea' until 141 dB and you have to get to 144 dB before vision is blurred due to eyeball vibration.
A 152 dB three horn air horn (152dB Vibration is painful and felt in joints; 153dB Throat vibrating so hard it is impossible to swallow) would cost $138.95. | 00 | not toxic |
I like how all the "progressives" say exactly the same thing on here. If the guy goes to a church that has a whiff of conservative theology, boot the sucker out of town! Really?

Great insight there on Siemian. I keep saying this: When he is protected and everything goes well he is good to pretty darn good.
But when he has to do anything remotely close on his own he really falters. I was thinking the same thing about the scripted plays. He seems fine with the script, but anything that goes OFF script...he really falls apart.
Trevor, you need to make plays! It is part of your job and you cannot just rely on everyone else making them for you.

I see Trump trying to reset a lot of government labor wages which is normally political suicide for politicians. Given Trump's response to when he's attacked, it's unlikely he will be afraid of this.
In the short run he likely stops or reduced government labor growth until he changes the way employment is setup. In the longer run (likely middle of year two) he increases government labor growth through infrastructure projects and research work. | 00 | not toxic |

"Holding open nominations – instead of directly appointing candidates – has been a key element of Mr. Trudeau’s efforts to attract fresh blood to the party since his election as Liberal Leader in 2013."
Yup, this was just another promise for the election period, not one that was meant to be kept while in government. It joins the string of such promises including a self-correcting $10 billion deficit and this is the last election featuring FPTP.
BTW, why, after less than 2 years from the pervious election win, do Goodale and Dion get plum government appointments to supplement their golden MP pensions and causing the need for some of these by-elections? And why is the press not calling Trudeau and the Liberals on these partisan appointments? The double standard is sickening. | 00 | not toxic |

That's what all governing parties think until they lose. The last election was the Conservatives to lose. They should not have lost, but did. Too bad they lost to a group far worse at governing than they were. In BC, the "Liberals" had no business losing, but they did. Canada deserves better, but will not get it because now the voters want pictures, not policy that creates a better environment for regular people to succeed. Regular people don't matter. I believe Trudeau et al have shown, in a very short time period what they are, and many who didn't vote for them believed they were. Opportunists, who use government for themselves, not the people. | 00 | not toxic |
Since 2008 financial crisis China has gone on a credit frenzy and created more credit than the value of the entire US banking system and we're talking several trillions $$. That money was spent on ghost cities, bridges to nowhere and many many other useless lavish projects that will never make any return on the investment, making many Chinese enormously rich very fast at the same fast. As a result of that China has become a Ponzi scheme, so the Red Barrons in Beijing cannot afford any trade war with anybody, because it will collapse their fragile system and make poor masses very angry.

Air pollution is one of the leading causes of death on the planet. The World Health Organization's 2014 study of mortality from air pollution found that about 3,000,000 people a year die from effects of "ambient" (outdoor) air pollution.
Skepticat makes an excellent point, below, when he calls the AQI a "death index". Science probably knows about how much the mortality rate increases per percent of beta scatter, although this would vary given differing populations and geography.
I wonder if anyone has correlated local emergency room admissions and the AQI.

I'm not convinced of your argument Timber Wolf.
First, there's no evidence to support it. Second, how do you even measure quality of legal services? Third, you can say "quality vs. quantity" about any profession. If you're going to use that argument to keep the number of lawyers low, how about car mechanics and cooks and truck drivers? Low quality in those occupations will cause fatalities.
Also I never said "excess"; and I don't what that means in this situation. In a market economy, supply and demand meet to determine a market price that satisfies the majority of buyers and also provides the sellers with enough profit to continue. Excesses sort themselves out (e.g., lawyers/paralegals who don't make enough money will go do something else).
To solve this issue of delays in the courts, requires curing the disease not the symptom. Do we agree on that? | 00 | not toxic |

I don't think you realize the utter pain and torture your ideas cause, and for what? So you can thump your bible?
You're free to have whatever ideas you want. If you think homosexuality is a sin then by all means live that way.
