He may be hoping for a US takeover so he can be installed as leader - because that’s the only way that’s going to happen for him.

It was pretty clear after a few minutes of England retreating into their own zone that Argentina was going to tie it and possibly win.

Not just inaccurate but inflammatory! Stirring up the masses to take over the Supreme Court of Canada building - like the Jan 6 attack on the Capitol building in Washington.

When the premier verbalizes yet another bad idea, we can reject it based on our expertise. Our qualification as expert is simply that we are not insane.

My point is that median income in Canada is higher than in the US. Average income is higher in the US only because of the significant inequality there with a small group holding most of the wealth.

If we are serious about matching or surpassing average income in the US, then we need to create more cdn billionaires.

Even when they are notified that unlawful material has been posted they are not required to take it down. They also have the nerve to argue that requiring them to include certain voices or perspectives interferes with their free speech/free press rights to determine the content on their platforms.

“Canada lives because of the United States” (Trump). Yes Canada lives because throughout our history we have chosen not to be part of the United States, to understand ourselves as different from the US, to follow a different path than the US, and to play a different role in the world than the US.

Richard Moon
Distinguished University Professor Emeritus

“The Social Character of Rights and the Limits of Adjudication”
 
In this talk, Prof. Moon will consider two themes that have recurred in his writing: first, that constitutional rights do not simply protect individual autonomy but instead protect different aspects of human flourishing or dignity in the community, and second, that courts, as adjudicative bodies, are unable to give full or even significant protection to these rights.

If we had any doubts before, the statements today by the leader and deputy leader of the Conservative Party enthusiastically supporting the American actions in Venezuela make clear that the federal Conservative Party as currently constituted must never hold office in this country.

The median income in Canada is higher than that in the US. Average income in the US is higher because of the large number of billionaires.

End speed traps and roadside breathalyzer, since they don’t give drivers a fair opportunity to evade the law? What about police use of fingerprint and DNA evidence which are unfair to criminals, since it makes it harder for them to escape punishment? www.thestar.com/politics/pro...
