Trudeau's comments simply proves that he is a typical well-heeled - on Daddy's money - self-centered elitist who can not fathom anyone with a political perspective other than his own becoming Prime Minister. What he rails against in Lietch are her desires to verify that people coming to Canada are open to Canadian values, such as equality of women, non-discrimination based on race and sexual orientation, and freedom of religion, which are the values the Liberals also hold.
Of course what Trudeau really wants is an electoral system that guarantees Liberal governments into perpetuity.

SK recovers NK missile test parts all the time to assess the level of technology. They are still using rivets, which haven't been used for missiles since World War II.

Both satellites failed. Going orbital is only 200+ miles straight up.

Any Republican knows that assault rifles and high capacity magazines have nothing whatsoever to do with any mass shootings, like at elementary schools. If only every legislator had an assault rifle along with a bandoleer of high capacity magazines then these type of things couldn't happen.

The images from Texas have to prod the consciences of those in the House and Senate who have not fully prostituted themselves to the johns of the fossil-fuel industry. Americans who have been victimized by this historic storm are pleading for both short-term and long-term help: not only do they need immediate assistance to rebuild their lives, they also need Congressional leadership on the climate crisis.
It wasn’t that long ago when Republicans would grudgingly acknowledge that human-caused climate change is real. There’s no place for House and Senate Republicans to hide now. The evidence can’t be walled off anymore by the conservative-entertainment complex. They may not like it. They may not enjoy it.

I have an idea.
Gut the new building of all furniture, privacy doors within said bathrooms, all partitions, and anything else that may comfort these creatures, allow them basic internet and computer functions, install 360 degree cameras within all spaces except bathrooms with a link to the public that can access them at any time, so that these 'creatures of comfort' may sit upon the floor and work within the public view with no hiding whatsoever.
Sure, they may retreat unto the bathrooms, but without expanding them, none too many shall fit into them at any one time, which shall be most uncomfortable, as it should be.
Within fact, let this happen within the State Capital and Governors Mansion as well, as perhaps they will not be so eager to get their to get their non-work done.
Oh, and turn off the heat, and turn off the electricity in the bathrooms, as well as 75% of the lighting in all buildings as well to concentrate them into a much smaller space.

"A majority approve of Chinese investment in Canada if it comes from private companies..." I don't think there are any private companies, as we understand them, in China. One is ALWAYS dealing with the Chinese government even if you think it's a private company. Nor do I think - outside the Chinese community - that there is a groundswell of support for even more trade and accommodation with China. On the contrary.
So yes, Trudeau - unless he's really just a paid shill for China - really needs to be a bit more careful about how he approaches all this. | 00 | not toxic |

One more note, I was told back in March by a woman who works as a counselor there, that K-Bay, Marine Corps Base Hawaiʻi, has the highest incidence of strangulation of any US Military base anywhere (out of 1,000 bases, it seems) Itʻs a chilling thought to me to know that the Marine Corps presence in our islands has such horrifying behavior festering among its personnel.

I think we are confusing pedophiles who suffer from a mental disorder, with normal sexual desire between adults, usually a man and a woman. According to the dictionary pedophiles suffer from a "mental disorder" involving a desire by an adult, usually a man,, for prepubescent children, quite often boys. What I was referring to was the repression of a natural, normal desire of a man for a woman, that finally lets loose inappropriately by celibate clergy with one or more members of the congregation. So we both agree that there are no more pedophiles among clergy than among the general population. What I am saying is repressed celibate clergy tend more to sexual abuse due to repression among those as opposed to the general population. It is understandable that this would be covered up for obvious reasons but should not be. Clergy are human so is the Pope in fact. Asking for celibacy is inhuman because it is not normal and incredibly hard to do. Desire among adults should not be suppres | 00 | not toxic |
