What this "smacks of" is an attempt by people who at least know a bit about China to counteract the flood of anti-China propaganda we have been treated to over the past few years. I personally think any deal with China has to be very carefully drafted and well enforced -- just like any deal with the US -- but popular emotion stoked by China-haters and media half-truths is a very poor guide to action. | 00 | not toxic |

Two questions for Jonah Goldberg:
1) Why, after ridiculing Trump as unfit for months, are you now using almost every column to try to destroy Clinton?
2)Given that we now know in spite of Coney's opposition, that our intelligence services concluded the Russians hacked the Democrats in order to influence our election, "Why do YOU think Putin is so desperate to get Trump elected? " What is the quid pro quo? And is "protocol" really more urgent than this? | 00 | not toxic |

Canadians need to set up a guaranteed income fund for the victims. If just 35,000 Canadians donated $20 each, none of these families would have to rely on charity in years ahead. That would be the best and most appropriate financial response, in my view, to this terrible tragedy. | 00 | not toxic |
Hello Kevin: According to all I've read the man was accused of being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm which he had used to threaten the life of his girlfriend. This reads like a serious situation. The police had him isolated in the deplex with no "hostage" or direct and imminent threat to anyone. They wisely (IMO) chose to not "storm" the apartment and force a possible armed conflict. I certainly agree with that decision. However, if I'm understanding things correctly, they left the scene with the intent of "arresting him later." That makes no sense to me. It may have taken time to negotiate his surrender, but it would have been time well-spent. If, in fact, he had a gun and had threatened the girlfriend, it makes no sense to me to say, in essence, "Hey, we're leaving now....see you later." It seems there's a lot of "middle ground" between "killing the guy" and walking away from the scene.......What do you think? thanks, Gary | 00 | not toxic |

They both admitted Bill Clinton asked her about the "health" of her grandchildren. That is an implied threat.

Trump called the previous bill "mean" but he now supports a bill that is equally mean.

No matter who you are, where you come from, what you eat, people will expect you to live like them and eat what they eat. When Creator made earth, he put many different types of animals in every part of the world. You will not find caribou, walruses, polar bears in the east coast or west coast. Our people did not choose these animals for St. Lawrence Island, they were chosen for us by Creator. Our people did not choose to be born Yupik, we were chosen; just like you were chosen to be born into your own skin. There are many different people, many different cultures, and many different traditions. Take the time to get to know reasons behind why each culture live the way they do. You are not the only important person. Where we come from its about all of us, in the city its about "me". Accept, respect, love, and understanding makes you a good spirited human.

James, I was posing the question that people often ask. If mountain biking is more dangerous, then why aren't more bikers harmed than hikers? The obvious rebuttal is that if there are many more times the number of hikers than bikers, then even if biking is more dangerous there could still be fewer injured bikers than hikers. And yet the odds of being injured by a bear would be higher for bikers than hikers. As I attempted to point out, there are no national or statewide figures for numbers of people who hike or bike in bear country, so comparisons are difficult, although in one instance reported by Herrero in Banff, it was evident that bikers were more at risk. Your "logic-fail" is you forgot to account for numbers of users. | 00 | not toxic |
Good point.
Indeed, if City Hall bought all the properties in the six mile by six mile square of land between twelfth and fifty seventh that is between Dunbar and Victoria, and turned it in to a big park, the density of Vancouver would drop a lot and there would be more park space available.
Maybe Burnaby and Surrey and Delta and Richmond could replicate that in their neighbourhoods. Think of it as the wise Trout Lake move on a larger scale. A wise idea indeed.

Frankly, there is no mention of Sanders in this article, so those who claim that am this is being carried out by Sander's supporters are misrepresenting reality. Likewise, for the group to claim that they are trying to call out "leftist radicals" is presupposing that the protestors are either leftist and/or radicals, which is an assumption at best.
This article to me reads: Trump supporters plan meeting that is interrupted by non-Trump supporters. In fact, that one sentence summarizes the whole event. I would have liked to have heard about the policy debates in more detail, or the positions that each group was discussing. Instead, this is just an announcement of likely vitriol.
This article is rather dumb in my opinion, as are the comments from individuals who are over generalizing. | 00 | not toxic |

What is typical deflection is pretending "more laws" is the answer. We have countless laws on the books now, prohibiting everything from assault to murder, from theft to vandalism, from adultery to sodomy, regulating alcohol to drugs, and more laws and regulations directed at guns than a person can count. None of those do one whit of good at stopping someone who is intent on disregarding it. They only come into play after the fact. I challenge you to name a single law that will be widely complied with and will control what it is meant to do if someone is inclined to disregard it. | 00 | not toxic |

I'm personally pretty conflicted on the whole idea of nukes. I think if done right, they are great, but we need to deal with things like waste storage and the fact that we seem to be stuck on pretty old technology.

I like the "semantic" angle that York presents here -- that the donor could be a Democrat who donates to both parties, just as many wealthy donors do. It wouldn't be the first time the NYT wasn't a reliable source when it comes to Trump. OR it could simply be a lie. And/or it could be a lie started by Deep State operatives. Maybe players in the US Intelligence Community used Fusion GPS as a front to try to smear Trump on Clinton's/Democrats' behalf.
In any case "wealthy Republican donor" could just be an attempt to deflect from or mitigate Democrats' involvement in underwriting the discredited dossier. After all, the Russian Narrative was initially cooked up by Brent Budowsky and campaign chairman John Podesta in December 2015 (according to a Podesta email published by Wikileaks). The book "Shattered", written by Clinton supporters, also mentions Podesta's and Mook's post-election plan to save face for the colossal loss by pushing the Russian Narrative. | 00 | not toxic |
