Greg Robertson is concerned about the “extraordinarily derogative” comments the pastor has made. Mr. Robertson goes on to say that Franklin Graham's "values are not in line with Vancouver’s". It's not the mayor's job to obstruct freedom of speech and enforce his own agenda of telling Canadians what our values are. Mr. Graham is not against Muslims....his comments are against radical islam - and with good reason. He also stands for the traditional definition of family instead of the rapidly changing definition of family.....there is nothing wrong with Mr. Graham publicly stating this. Vancouver mayor Gregor Robertson has the lowest approval rating among 10 Canadian mayors, according to results released by national pollster Mainstreet Research. Robertson has stepped out of bounds on this event......expect to see his approval rating fall again.

Culture is not like a jacket that you can remove and replace with another one. It is not nationality, either. And, when everything else around you looks strange, attempts to remove culture must surely be cruel. In settlement of the West, Hutterites and Mennonites were allowed to keep their culture, and to let their culture shape their farmlands. It seems to me that that was more successful than the "one family on one quarter section model," which separated families

Every PM has to work with the cards that are dealt them. Harper wasn’t responsible for the 2014 oil price fall any more than Trudeau was responsible for the Fort McMurray wildfires. That said, your statement about growth under Trudeau recently being much higher than anything achieved under Harper is absurd. The annual real GDP growth rate in 2017Q1 (i.e. the four-quarter growth rate) was 2.3%, the best Trudeau has ever achieved to date; you only have to go back to 2014Q3 to find 2.6% growth; in 2013Q4 and a number of earlier quarters under Harper the growth rate was 3.6%.

The UO is a public university, and Shurtz is therefore a public employee, whose behavior even outside of work, if it affects her workplace, can be subject to employment law. Social media postings outside of work are one example of this. Here's another way to look at this... Do you see minorities doing anything comparable to blackface? Do you see, for example, African Americans using "white-face" or something similar to disparage or in other ways make a political statement about whites? I've not read any reports about such a phenomenon. The lesson is not about staying white or staying another color. It is about white people, especially in 2016, just accepting the fact that blackface is not appropriate, ever. Not at a private home party, not at a public event, not ever. For people who continue to insist that blackface is only racist if it is used in a certain context are engaging in intellectual dishonesty and deliberately ignoring the very real history of blackface in U.S. history.

Also, why would Bernie be preaching communist style government services to US citizens, he's not a communist trying to one-up brother Putin is he? Maybe Democrat brother Putin got angry that Sanders tried to clone his FREE healthcare, college and vodka to all citizens and then the Ruskis would all flock to the USA instead so Putin himself commanded his army of hackers to sabotage commie brother Sanders and HitLIARy?

I totally agree! They buried this paragraph at the end of the article: "The Reuters/Ipsos poll was conducted online in English and French throughout Canada. It included responses from 1,001 people who were at least 18 years old. Individual responses were weighted according to the latest population estimates in Canada so that the results reflect the entire population." 48% of 1001 is 480 people, not half of Canadians! I understand that generalizing results is a common survey/ study practice, however, ignoring all the variables does not make for a very credible result. I always search for the the survey/study details then I ask questions and think critically about the research and the interpretation of results. I like to make decisions for myself, the truth is always somewhere in the middle. I wish those who were making blanket comments in this forum representing "half of Canadians" would take time to think critically as well.

"She could borrow against the equity in her condo to finance the car purchase and home renovations." No: just avoid new car purchase altogether - buy something ~2 years old and gently used for a MUCH more efficient use of money. Research the model using Phil Edmonston's Used Car Guide to make sure she buys a reliable car. Then, learn how to do the home reno herself (at least as much of it as possible-hire out the electrical and plumbing, for instance). She's apparently used to using her body, so is probably in decent shape enough to do some work on a bath remodel. Besides the significant investment problems of letting someone else take care of her money: the significant expectation to over-consume. Innovation beats consumption every time.

"More boys kill themselves than girls, but the rate of suicide by girls is growing more quickly." Until journalists can cite the male statistics without appending a statement that quickly redirects attention to females, the minimization of boys' issues will continue. Boys' suicide rates run approximately 500-700% higher than the rate for girls. When something is a 12% higher in one gender than another, we use words like "more". But this ain't "more"; this is a whopping majority. (Statistically, the lower variable can always "grow more quickly", but that doesn't change the fact it's overwhelming a male issue, not a female one). It's time to call a spade a spade: this is a mens/boys' epidemic.

Yes, they are openly against voter ID laws because there is no evidence for widespread fraud of the type you suggest. And they cite several studies. So rather than simply accuse them of bias, refute the studies. And no, the tiny number of occurrences do not merit "inconveniencing" everybody, especially when proposals for "inconvenience" nearly always target minorities (something that even the Supreme Court recognized recently), make it more difficult to many to vote (again, I cite the long lines that happened even in Denver), and therefore make the US less democratic. You seem to be a gun rights advocate - should your right to own a handgun be restricted because some people use handguns to commit crimes? Finally, I don't understand why any Coloradoan would be in favor of giving up the mail-in ballot, unless he/she is unemployed or retired. There have been times in my life when, because of work and school, it was impossible for me to vote on election day. That's not "inconvenience."

This obscene mess will continue as long as government has it's grubby corrupt hands in medical extortion. The Oregon Department of Insurance was created to prevent insurance companies from going bankrupt and leaving the state and still operates under that goal. The solution is not a single payer system. Thinking government could control price under a single payer system is a naive fallacy because of corruption. The government could sue the industry for unjust enrichment just as they did the tobacco companies but they will not as that would stop the flow of lobbyist money. Unfortunately the only solution is for government to completely get out of the medical corruption/extortion business and let the entire system collapse. Only then will the thieves scatter as there will no longer be enough money in the business to attract them. From the ruins will rise an industry that has learned a very painful lesson about greed and corruption. Our government has created this shameful, obscene mess.

To all of those who just have to drive over the posted speed limit along the Arm, as well as elsewhere, what is your hurry? Are you late for dinner? Late for work? It is a nice drive and a crooked road but just like the several vehicles which sped around me last night at speeds well over 60mph so they could turn off at Girdwood, the time saved is not worth anyone's life. As to the project; a much cheaper solution to the traffic issue would be a solid median between all of the existing passing lanes. A physical barrier between the opposing traffic. Put left turn lanes at the 'official' turnouts for the tourists. Then enforce the five car delay law. Which applies to the posted speed limit by the way. If the lead car is doing the posted speed and they pull over to allow someone to drive 10 mph over, then they are an accessory to a moving violation! To all of you who live in Girdwood etc who can't get up on time or plan ahead, tough. Grow up and become an adult.

All personal property and home real estate property taxes should be eliminated. Personal property taxes are just the government telling you that you don't own the property they do and if you don't pay them they will take it from you and rent it to someone else. Sales taxes are more fair as you don't have to purchase an item. Sales taxes can be placed on real estate to be paid at the time of sale and can be done each time the property is sold. Business real estate might have to be handled differently. The government staying within a budget would help tremendously.

"The House’s plan also restructured the open-ended funding of Medicaid to a per-capita cap scheme, where states receive a capped amount of funding each year per enrollee, and could choose to receive the funding up front in block grants. That Medicaid restructuring increased yearly funding by the medical Consumer Price Index plus 1 percent, a measure designed to keep per-capita caps roughly in line with inflation in the industry, but one that would also underfund Medicaid over time, leading to a growing gap between the number of patients who would be eligible under current guidelines, and the funds available to pay for their care. Several independent analyses have concluded that this funding structure would lead to large-scale shortfalls in every state, which would need to be closed by reducing enrollment or benefits, and cutting capacity to respond to disasters and public-health crises. Those affected most would be poor children, people with mental-health issues, and disabled people."

Seems like all the Trump supporters are upset about ''anonymous sources or unidentified sources" spilling the beans on their hero. It's likely that those sources will turn out to be patriots when this is over. But here's a little factoid that will be inconvenient to your belief systems. No one uses "anonymous sources" more than Trump - "So many people have told me..." "Everybody says that..." "Many people are saying...." and perhaps his most loathsome example, "an extremely credible source called my office and told me that Barack Obama's birth certificate is a fraud.”
