Oh and the Liberals never lied, LOL.

  4. 4.

Especially given that they deleted your most excellent comment yesterday for
no good reason.

  5. 5.

Will67, histrionic is posting the same tombstone of bs in reply to post after
post.

This is an extremely bright, ambitious, competitive woman who would love
nothing more than to exceed her predecessor’s time in office.’Sorry… you lost
me after the first comma.

  7. 7.

Typical Harper bullying….Seems to work fer domestic relations……Let’s give ’er
a go fer foreign relations……If it don’t work we can run and hide……like at
home. Get right on that John….why do you think I keep you around!

So f?hlt sich der Reichspropagandaminister stark genug, in seiner Position,
die F?hrung der Partei die Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiter-Frage zu
stellen.

  9. 9.

Wow, Ultra Sensitive…..! And seems to be many assumptions. I take it you
attended the party to know all these things you are saying?

  10. 10.

It’s well documented that you don’t like Trump. The fact that you don’t like
Pence either is zero surprise to everyone.

  11. 11.

6 Canadians were killed in Burkina Faso not that long ago… they want to harm
you in Ottawa, Ouagadougou, Nice, or New York.

  12. 12.

Utter drivel and undeserving of further response.

  13. 13.

Don’t you just love the yahoos (not the native Americans) who refer to people
as ’these people’?Yup, middle of the road attitude …

  14. 14.

Let us hope that the first casualty of the coming war will be the western
mainstream media.

  15. 15.

Its somewhat sad that many here confuse slant with fake. People should look up
what people are talking about when the say ’fake news’ before commenting.

  16. 16.

It’s about time.

  17. 17.

Um no. If i can’t eat, what good is school or a lighted street going to do for
me? I know people like you in the PS won’t go hungry but I will. Perhaps you
should read the article in the Financial Post…

  18. 18.

perhaps, dave. but then they move on to things other than directly into
politics. or marry people smarter than them …oh, wait.

  19. 19.

DaleyI like the idea of ’ getting over it ’ with a Scot.. Maybe while we enjoy
a three finger sampler of the national beverage.. And consider questions like…
If I’m a white guy in Ontario will my kids qualify to be a ’ national
minority’ Argh!

  20. 20.

I am not sure what is silly, and if there is any story in what I wrote. You
write about ”deniers in the same tone as Inquisition spoke about heretics.
Interesting. Just confirms my impression of climate change as new religion.

  21. 21.

No - he does not dither - see Cuba - the GOP wont let him do a thing
otherwise.

  22. 22.

Joe, Joe, Joe… Try reading a newspaper or a book published outside Ontario my
ignorant friend. Nobody cares about Mike Duffy west of Ontario - we just
expect that kind of behaviour from the centre of our universe. BTW, have YOU
tried crack?

  23. 23.

If we left it up to all the Duggars families of world, what a mess we would
have. Now those young girls will have to live with this incest all their
lives.

  24. 24.

There are approximately 1.6 billion Muslims in the world. If they all thought
like ISIS, we would have been eradicated years ago.

  25. 25.

Really? So basically only fire fighters are entitled to comment? Nope. Sorry.
I pay the taxes. I want MY tax dollars going where it is actually NEEDED not
wanted.

  26. 26.

Oh…be serious …who made it an issue… The Trailer Park.. made it.

  27. 27.

Actually, he gave it away with the GST cuts – the corporate tax cuts were
simply a continuation of the plan initiated by the Liberals.

  28. 28.

It should be remembered that ?Nations have no permanent friends or allies,
they only have permanent interests.?

Yet again, the G & M uses another female writer to promote legalization of
prostitution to maintain male sexual privilege and entitlement.

  30. 30.

This legislation would have no impact on Islamist males. It impacts woman,
Sikhs, certain Jews above all. Are you saying one can only be Canadian if one
denies one’s religion?

  31. 31.

The moderators are brutal; way to suppress free speech.

  32. 32.

OH! What a marvellous idea!! All we’d have to do is firmly and strictly
declare something like a War on Drugs…….Wait…

  33. 33.

In this specific case it doesn’t matter at what point you define the moment of
death. The first volley of shots was lawful, even if it meant Sammy was killed
by them. The second volley of shots was not lawful, even if Sammy had
survived.

  34. 34.

See how valuable an education is? Now you’re able to accurately describe the
poverty you find yourself in.

  35. 35.

Weird how you say ’a Muslim male (never a female)’ but don’t add that same
part in parenthesis after priests or rabbis when it can equally be applied
there.

  36. 36.

Hopefully, some of these more secular Israelis will end up in Canada.’Why?

  37. 37.

Margaret Atwood bores a lot of women too.

Mulroney’s legacy whether you like him or not 1. North American Free Trade 2.
GST if they are bad we had about 20 years to get rid of them so they must be
good or we are lazy and incompetent grudgingly admit Mulroney left a legacy
CHRETIEN left none

  40. 40.

Itll be real interesting when Canadas Indians go to the Chinese government
looking for reparations for loss of their homelands

  41. 41.

They are poor because they are reliant on the drug trade and reliant on the
drug trade because they are then poor. That cycle can be broken.

  42. 42.

Margaret says the battle is over? Ask the bigots at trinity western, or the BC
gov.

  43. 43.

Take their guns away and these cowards wouldn’t last the day.

President Dwight Eisenhower arrived at Union Station on a visit during the
Second World War.’Huh? What was Eisenhower president of during WWII? The Elks
club?

  45. 45.

At last someone trotting out facts instead of armchair prejudices.

  46. 46.

Quebec Nationalists are zealots. They don’t care about finances. They care
about politics of language and identity and that’s it…..

  47. 47.

Yet again with the personal shots without any substance to your arguments. One
has to wonder about your abilities.

That jobs in whch women predominate are lower paying is also part of the
gender gap. Its not an either/or.

  51. 51.

…sure is a good thing CONs are spending our money monitoring these comments.
the equallymonitored backbenchers are probably keeping tabs on here, too.

  52. 52.

’The Israeli snipers ( male and female) had a reputation for a lack of
patients.””Perhaps you are thinking of Israeli army doctors.

  53. 53.

So you become more transparent by removing transparency acts. Got it.

  54. 54.

Just maintain residency at your parents house. and come back and visit
occasionally. Problem solved bleeding heart.

It’s nice when a poster’s punctuation mirrors the quality of their thoughts.

  56. 56.

Rob Ford does not have the attention span to write editorials.

  57. 57.

I’ve learned to look at it as more of a game where I am ”beating” the
traditional job market. I’m (op) only 28 and most of my friends have very
little in retirement savings, few assets. They are just now getting out of
student loan and auto loan debt. It feels great to know I’m living so
comfortably compared to most.

  58. 58.

ugh, put to rest that argument, it is so false. often people (well, me) will
come to the site for the comments in response to articles and enjoy the
knowledge that the sludge is not being ingested by everyone.

  59. 59.

You probably really get off on the going’s on in Congress. Serious stuff
there.

  60. 60.

Certainly not Wente, who only speaks for the Cons and their misogynist Bible-
thumping puppet-masters.

  61. 61.

Won? Have you been sleeping under a rock since 1975? And why would you want to
change the culture? Nothing wrong with the Vietnamese.

  62. 62.

Mr Paladin, the framers were, no doubt, well versed in the English language
which you, evidently, are not. Try not to read things into a passage which
exist neither in fact nor intent.

  63. 63.

Rather a silly remark there, watchlist.

  64. 64.

The whole article ignores the fact the $3.1 billion figure is from the period
covering 2001-2009. Who was in power from 01-06? Plenty of blame to go around.

  65. 65.

Well we do have a surplus now. Perhaps we should give crack to all City
Councillors.

  66. 66.

How about the young getting off their butts and voting and/or ( gasp )
campaigning on behalf of their interests ?!The likes of Marx, Lenin, Hitler
were also ’inspiring’ !

  67. 67.

Keep up the censorship G&M, apparently only the Left is allowed to comment!

  68. 68.

I understand the Liberal government will be bestowing two (2) taxpayer funded
nannies each upon every wealthy trust fund family,

  69. 69.

You claim there are gross exaggerations here. Yet, you do not cite a single
one. Do you have a ’real case’? It would seem not, because you made a sweeping
statement, then obviously deliberately neglected to back it up.

  70. 70.

Not so much biased as clueless!

  71. 71.

A truly twisted article by an obviously deeply wounded far right-wing
academic.

  72. 72.

It’s the Pharmaceutical companies you should be watching over - duh!

But he is releasing his autobiography shortly so we will know what he has

Now happily the Conservatives can be consigned to their well earned oblivion.

  77. 77.

Don’t worry. You ARE wrong.

  78. 78.

I don’t agree with this (IMHO and all that, it ought to be done at the high
school level) and, sorry, my comments do not exhibit ’the ugliness that
ignorance produces’. I’ll leave the irony of your comment to the reader to
contemplate.

  79. 79.

Love your grown-up, partisan-based emotional outburst! It has really helped
move this comment board’s mature, fact-based discussion forward. Take care.

  80. 80.

if only we had a true head of state to slap hapers wrist. But we dont. We have
a toad appointed by harper, acting as a rubber stamp for the other inbred
rubber stamp who lives in an english castle and whose great grandson just
pushed new teeth.

  81. 81.

How is Harper going to take on ISIS from inside a closet ?

  82. 82.

Short of taking selfies and spending billions on the world stage. Exactly how
has he helped 1 Canadian? In order to get the god like accolades from fawning
media?

  83. 83.

I would happy see him at the end of a rope, in his spare time he was making
bombs to use against Canadian forces, you do remember those pictures of him ?
Want to tell that to some of our dead troops

So the Reform party was 25 years ahead of the times? Pretty good for people

Please do not share facts. Right-wingers are uninterested. Although you can

Thats a sexist stupid comment.

PAS?’ It doesn’t need to be a physician. A nurse practitioner with a specialty

Whenever an article on MAD uses the word ’suicide,’ I sense the menacing
influence of religion.

You can’t discuss complicated things with simple voters.

his fear agenda… if you cannot see this-you are blind

  112. 112.

Junior Trudeau keeps proving he is in way over his head. An attack ad wasn’t
necessary, Junior proves it time and again.

  113. 113.

So, what are you trying to say?

  114. 114.

If Grandma was a civic employee taking voting directions from a labour union,
she deserves some blame for being so easily conned into bankrupting her
children’s cities.

The French law has been used to stop Muslim mothers from helping out at school

Trudeau will regret his quote (said many times): ’Mr. Harper wants you to
believe thereare terrorists behind every tree, under every rock’.
Unfortunately, it just takes ONE treeor ONE rock to do serious damage. A boy
in charge, how sad.

The NDP gave their vote of confidence to S. Harper to take out the Liberals.

What science degree does Simpson have? Doesn’t stop him from pontificating on
global warming.

  150. 150.

Haven’ seen the ’lisping ’ insult for a while. Some posters seem to have a bit
of a fetish around that.

  151. 151.

The stories are because women are more thin skinned than men and demand to be
protected from bad words. We must protect the women, women are weak and need
protection. But they’re also strong and powerful and can do anything a man can
do.

I didn’t realize that the conservatives lost the election on purpose. Thanks
for that- I guess it explains the lack of a coherent plan, and so forth.

  169. 169.

It’s not calling a spade a spade that’s wrong, it’s putting huge numbers of
very different groups under your spade that is the problem. And if you discard
an argument as hooey you make a display of yourself as blind and deaf.

NDP thinks big with national daycare plan…. Didn’t Jack Layton and the NDP
vote along side with stephen harper against this national daycare program when
proposed by Paul Martin and the Liberals ???

  171. 171.

I don’t think the journalists really care one way or another. A more accurate
description is most Canadians are left wing and thus a PM who was popular here
would probably liked by the New York Times not Wall Street Journal.

What is the G&M’s motive behind displaying 10 comments at a time? To inflate

  182. 182.

Yup, and the Iraq people asked the Western Political society to use false
premises and invade them. It has worked out quite well for them. Only 250, 000
Iraqi civilians have died post invasion. I guess this is ’public interest’

Shhh, Liberals need no encouragement to print money. Wynne doesn’t have her

Ah, death threats, huh? Where? I’m not able to scrape up a whole lot of
sympathy for an entitled frat boy’s poor choices.

The last thing we need is a national daycare program. Children raised and
indoctrinated to behave as state approved, politically correct, liberal

The kids weren’t allowed to speak their own language, much less harvest their

Get the right team behind you, the answer is, Yeah, you can. ”teamwork”: it’ll

We haven’t had that big earthquake yet. And the proposed new KM isn’t a

I wonder how many of the people voting you down also demand we should be more

Why should someone have to pledge allegiance to the welfare queen, she doesn’t

Not even close. Trudeau cleaned house when he took the reins. A foolish move
by any measure, but for this one.

  238. 238.

60 years of involvement and the politicians are all the same. The task of a
new government is to find new ways of interfering in our lives. We are now a
fascist country. Anybody want evidence?

  239. 239.

A slang word blacks use to refer to police is racist if uttered by anyone

rather than to the British monarch?

  255. 255.

Yes it was funny but of course Canadians do not have a sense of humour. No
wonder the Quebecois call us square heads.

  256. 256.

That would be hypocritical! Harper put us another 170 billion in the hole.

But the Oil Sands are not ignorant and washed up, like Neil Young himself…

  259. 259.

Oh, I see now. The people passionately arguing FOR allowing the wearing of the

constitution. I see that their intent is pure, and there is no other vested
interests lurking.

  260. 260.

How do you spell exploitation? This is a disgusting practice that sanctions
abuses of fundamental rights and human decency. We cannot continue to condone
it.

So, do you carshare? I’ve noticed a distinct tendency for green advocates to
want everyone else to change so they can keep doing what they want to do.

  286. 285.

Interesting reasoning. No doubt you feel we should apply it in cases of human
suffering as well. When disasters strike, when famines hit, when wars are
afoot… if there’s too many victims to treat them all humanely, we should
euthanize them. Right?

iski99: The statement you quote is quite stunning and it’s even more startling
that about one-third of Canadians don’t appear troubled by this at all. You
have to wonder how much more of this government Canadians can tolerate.

Kind of like this forum, right? All I see is endless outrage here.

You tell those Russians Globe and Mail, you tell them……LOL

You’re likely right… but will there be any evidence?

The further to the ’ Left’ a country or province votes the greater the

facing adversity, vote for the ’sounds good Leftists’ only to find their
miseries compounded.

Why don’t you tell that to the next firefighter, police officer or paramedic
you see? Or do you just hide behind a keyboard?

  316. 315.

It’s whatever the G&M says - LOL.

You are just silly. Not a word of what you said has any merit.

  318. 317.

Says the opinion collected from voters at the advance poll and the strong
trend toward registered democrats among the mail in ballots. None have been
counted but it is a trend that favours the Democrats.

frothing at the mouth Pierre Polievre who was rewarded for his obnoxiousness

Sorry, but who the heck is Frances Wooley and why is her opinion worth
attention?

  327. 326.

You are incorrect. The firearms act does not require non restricted to be in a

  328. 327.

Sounds like severe ladies’ troubles to me, Pifco.

  329. 328.

And how is TWU forcing their beliefs on others ? You have free choice which

What has it done, specifically, over and above what everybody already knew–
that they were responsible?

Yes, Siren, and Trudeau is Catholic; Paul Martin attended Catholic church

You mean nothing was unprecedented and there were no records before climate
change hit the scene? You mean, every day/year was like the one before?

The Canadian Voter - beleive me- was considered to be be a bunch of sheep who
could be shepherded by the messiah Harper. now the truth is out in the open -
the Canadian voters are not a bunch of sheep and Harper is a sitting duck.

  390. 389.

Left of RightYou are proving my point by attempting to be dismissive. This is
not about the fashion industry. It’s about weak men still trying to put women
’in their place’. Like you.

  391. 390.

I’ll put my hours up against yours any day. Bet you $100 that I work harder
and longer than you.

  392. 391.

Yes the Clinton pyramid scheme is soooo innocent. Pay to play politics.

  393. 392.

First things first, but which are the first things?’ Very good question, in
fact. It seems the most important are cigarettes, dope, and Toronto. What a
travesty.

  394. 393.

Troll. Hey Harper isn’t PM.

  395. 394.

So why does the government feel it needs to force middle income earners to
save? Can adults not take care of themselves? It should be a choice. Why does
the government need to micro manage us? Generation Screwed…

  396. 395.

@Needreason nice distraction. Care to defend your dear leaders retroactive
law?

  397. 396.

What bunk. It’s gone from lets legalize pot because it’s the right thing to do
to how much can we make off it. Just legalize it now and work out all the
details later. And Justin, in the meantime please call off your RCMP thugs.

  398. 397.

No rational reason??? Are you kidding me!?!?

  399. 398.

Actually I have, those who believe in fairy tales and other assorted biblical
/ religious stories are the ones drinking milk and eating cookies. Ba, Baaaa

  400. 399.

I think you could say the same for Liberals and Catholics.

  401. 400.

I’m not a supporter of Zionism, that’s for sure. Want to blacklist me?

  402. 401.

Which one of them was Globe poster Arimas involved in? Your comments are
personal attacks composed of entirely unfounded allegations. They should be
removed.

  403. 402.

Where is the outrage from Danish tourist to this story?

  404. 403.

I believe the author has hit the nail on the head. The Indian Act and the
reserve system have turned the native youth into zombies. It’s time to
eliminate this system.

  405. 404.

Why not? I would vote for a chimpanzee before I would vote for harper and I am
not alone

  406. 405.

As a Liberal from Toronto I don’t really think about these things much. Once
Justin Trudeau is elected Prime Minister For Life, we will have sunshine and
rainbows forever! This is what the CBC told me at least…..

  407. 406.

What’s Jay Sherman blathering on about?

House, anyway.

  416. 415.

Not so soft hypocrisy - the Globe editorialists barely mentioned the issue
when the Conservatives signed the deal. Now they are using barrels of ink to
persuade us how the Libs screwed up. Nice try.

  417. 416.

Great article. Big Pharma, advertising, commercials, books, chat shows, etc
all focus on ’what’s wrong with me/us’? it’s all about making $$.

  418. 417.

What about the presstitutes? Lets legalise them too.

  419. 418.

I wouldn’t bother defending your honesty with this crowd, Ed. They believe
every hateful accusation against Muslims, and deny every story that might
sympathize with Muslims.

  420. 419.

Darn the truth, eh Joey and babbleon

  421. 420.

We might as well just appoint him Prime Minister now. After all, he’s leading
in the polls. That would be the democratic thing to do.

  422. 421.

Speaking of tools. It’s arsenal.

  423. 422.

All Europe, not only Sweden!!!!!

  424. 423.

Actually it was developed by lefties to make fun of each other for the ever
changing ”correct” language in lefty circles. And just like Saul Alinsky, it
was co-opted and turned in to a right wing meme and hobby horse.

  425. 424.

Right on, D_Peters. Sounds like fun. What a work ethic, eh?

  426. 425.

Read the post and think a little harder, RW.

Where is death to Harper mentioned Lazy Beaver 1’s chatter ? Death may only be
in your ability to read and to reason. Not disgusting, just pathetic.

  428. 427.

Also, Robert Nixon and Stephen Lewis (particularly) were gutless.

  429. 428.

That’s not even passable name calling. BTW by the look of this post, coherency
is not your strong suit.

  430. 429.

No more hate filled than you, for backing the wrong horse.

  431. 430.

BS. What is your reference for this statement?

  432. 431.

Well, Pierre Trudeau inherited a country that had the 2nd highest GNP per
capita in the world (tied with Sweden) and ran it down to 14th or so. So
there’s competition.

  433. 432.

You can’t help it if you’re ignorant of the law and one’s legal rights -
you’re just one of the mob and need it to think for you.

  434. 433.

hard core separatists who stay in Canada…?and what does ’arrogant to a
distraction’ actually mean? vraiment!!! You sound a little anti-francophone to
me. Perhaps if Justin changed his last name to Waterhole you’d vote for him
lol.

  435. 434.

Very thoughtful post. Must take an IQ over 50.

  436. 435.

Check out the guys record on truth of statements he makes. He is lying about
78% of the time. http://www.politifact.com/personalities/donald-trump/

2 different points of view is a good thing if only leftist rags would do the
same

Putin may (as a statesman) want to take credit for Russia’s entry. as his
legacy. Merkel is a failure compared to such as Metternich and Bismarck. She’s
a Pentagon puppet, even uses their phones.

  441. 440.

Wow, only 6, actually 7 more years until we can start to get reliable
information again. Thank God nothing important is happening in the meantime.

  442. 441.

They’d have that money if they would drop their feeble attempts at comedy that
are really cleverly disguised attacks on whatever government is in power (at
all levels) in the form of satire.

Oooh boy! I guess you’ve revealed a lot about yourself in a single sentence

I am not sure about this decision , I am afraid of ’mission creep’ but once
our forces are engaged every Canadian will back them and hope and pray there
will be no body bags coming home.

The Rebel is not interested in ’asking the hard questions’. They are only
interested in advancing their obnoxiously partisan point of view.

I agree that the status of women in China has improved a lot, especially

Every day Trudeau-lite proves how unfit he is to lead the country, let alone
the Liberals, well, perhaps not he latter.

  457. 456.

I disagree with your comment a lot as I don’t think it really addressed
anything I said

  458. 457.

It’s vindictive. Pure and simple. These guys run the country like the mafia.

  459. 458.

LOL! well said.

  460. 459.

I see a real problem with this article, if every minority is over represented
due to political expediency we will run out of cabinet positions! No problem
for the Trudeau liberals. Like Doritos, we’ll make more.

I think the main problem is the Catholic Church. It facilitates, activates and
enables the corruption and ignorance that prevents knowledge, action and
proper solutions being implemented.

  474. 473.

It’s nothing to do with the drought. It’s corruption, incompetence and
stupidity. I think that is fair.

  475. 474.

Really, only one question. Given the fact that basically the only ’promise’
this government has fulfilled is that we won’t recognize Canada when Harper’s
through, why would anyone believe anything outlined in this budget?

  476. 475.

On the other hand the defrocking of priests and nuns was a good move !!!!

The Abrahamic religions (Christianity, Islam, Judaism) developed out of an old
dispute between the sons of Abraham’.Now that’s a weird interpretation, but I
upvoted you anyway.

  501. 500.

So we’ll ignore the non-Christian historians like Josephus, who wrote 2000
years ago, and who talk about Jesus and his crucifixion. Even if you don’t
want to believe in him as God, there is a lot of historical backing that he
was a real person.

Harper’s new law allowing him to steal what he wishes from the media for his

repetitive articles for the G&M for four more years.

As will mine. The nonsensical editorial endorsement of the Conservative Party
was pretty much the last straw. This just confirms it.

So you’ve missed all the information over the last, oh, couple of hundred
years on the social construction of racism, sexism, classism, capitalism, ….

Bingo. I was appalled by their shallow and, frankly, predictable recitation of
left-wing talking points Just completely missed the point didn’t you? That

What if the terrorist wannabe plans to attack Egypt and is imprisoned in Egypt
shall we also mind our own business and not provide consular services, which
ultimately means more taxes too much of this going on lately

truth.

the bigots and fools.

You know the language you’re using isn’t even your own, right? ’Leftist
elitists’? Step away from the hype, look at the situation for what it really
is. Who are you defending?

Not sure how the PM can decide on any issues in our country……he’s never here!
He’s a PM via text email or of course the odd selfie, he is a joke!

Rob Ford is far from perfect alright. He’s drifting into the incompetent, way-
over-his-head territory. But, on the bright side, his association with the
prime minister has cost the Conservatives some support.

  529. 528.

I just read the above. I am a scientist and this post is just total rubbish
from an uneducated neocon moron.

  530. 529.

As opposed to the regurgitation by Marcus Gee by repeating Deluce speaking
points which are outright lies? You obviously did not read the City staff’s
report which overwhelming recommended deferral until a lot of unanswered
questions get answered.

I think it’s a concern about Canada, but go ahead with your continual,
ineffectual baiting, as you always do.

There’s something tawdry about a commentator urging a political party to do

you’ve got nothing left to lose. America has an awful lot left to lose, and
Trump will lose it for them.

to wait til next election

I think you mean David Frum. Although he is a bit of glum and grim from which
you perhaps get, Grum.

  585. 583.

You sound like you need to bone up on your WW2 history to see what was
actually happening. There is simply no current comparison for what was going
on, and the bombing (nuke and non-nuke alike) was necessary.

I find the Calgary Flames name to be extremely homophobic and I am outraged.

I’d bet right now you’d have more success raising money to buy them plane
tickets to send them back to Turkey / Jordan / Lebanon.

  588. 586.

My goodness, your concern for Liberals is indeed heart-warming. What say you
about a Prime Minster in contempt of Parliament (us), who cheats in elections
and passes Constitution-violating legislation at every turn? Thought so.

  589. 587.

The same brain dead liberals in this comments section that voted for Trudeau
federally and for Wynne in Ontario are now saying don’t vote for Trump. OK,
got you.

  590. 588.

Guess you missed the hatred during the referendum, conveniently so I might
add.

  591. 589.

There’s ’no point’ going from self-absorbed to a concern for the grandkids, eh
kai2? Particularly if there are no grandkids to ’worry about.’ Indeed,
completely morally bankrupt.

  592. 590.

As for Confucius Institute, it should be banned completely by all countries.
It is the Chinese Teacher Union’s vacation program, totally a waste of Chinese
tax payer’s money.

If I knew as much about anything as M Wente knows about everything I would be
border-line genius. When it comes to Pot advise from Margaret. Just say No.

  594. 592.

Did you just think that up yourself?

If one is a Con, why yes, one would honk. Loudly, repeatedly and in as coarse

When one of the states has a motto such as ’live free or die’, why would you

Assad’s regime is murdering Syrians, aided by the murderous and imperialistic
regime of Putin. We should nothing to do with either.

will be EPIC. I hope puts drama teacher, selfie boy in his place. Go Trump,
Make America, and the West, Great Again.

  601. 599.

NO one in this conversation wants kids smoking pot. Grow up Harperite - if you
can.

  602. 600.

Zero examples. And the Muslim countries you refer to are all 3rd world, poor -
great.

Congratulations Rmiller101, your dream of Stein winning is even more

jumped right over the bar.

  605. 603.

.Yes he did, and than the governments (US, UK, Russia and Canada) that make
the decisions on the what, where, when and how sat on ’it’, doing NOTHING) The
UN does NOT make unilateral decisions, the nations that form the security
council DO..

  606. 604.

Your posting is classic assumption and a better understanding of a dictionary

Nanakanda, you are the one expressing hatred.

What we need here are some salacious divorce records and a twitter account.
And a few thousands posts on these comments sections. Then we’ll see someone
get smeared and attacked.

  610. 608.

pretty jewish of you

  611. 609.

The plan is similar to the Chinese encouraging Chinese immigration into Tibet:
destroy the local culture and replace it with another.

Translation: Outside of legalizing pot we have no clue what our policies are
going to be’You translated incorrectly, If the Liberals release their policy
too early the Reform/Conservatives will steal it and claim it for their own.

But to most of us, it just makes him look gullible.’=====No. Not that. What a
stupid remark.

  614. 612.

When it happens in a ’Free World’ like the US, then to the Lefties in Hong
Kong, this is NOT a problem. Only when it happens in China it becomes a huge
problem.

  615. 613.

Define ’hypocritical scumbag’.

  616. 614.

Russia was crucified by the warmongering of Putin and his supporters… just
look at Russia’s human rights, economy and status …The billions could have
gone to feeding the poor, but no… Putin and his zealots crucified Russia
instead

Where is your evidence of corruption? That is a very serious charge. Please
supply names, and details. Thank you.

Its scary that Mulcair and the NDP are offering up the more centrist, more
thoughtful alternative than Liberals under the boy wonder and his communist
leanings.

Small words. Short sentences. Celebrating ignorance. Living in a dreamworld.
Welcome to Ford Nation.

Good article - about a career path that has become a monopoly enclave of
overpaid professional whiners.

  622. 620.

Feel free to add it to your bag of concern troll talking points.

I think you are talking about the second amendment, but in any case just a
stupid comment.

  629. 627.

Trust me, Sanottava, master plumbers will not be digging that trench. But you

Monkey, If you think private money does not redistribute income and encourage
inequality you are far more naive than I thought.

maximrw - what’s backwards? THe coward’s a Harper?

  632. 630.

Sure - you just keep abusing the aboriginal people and bombing Muslims and
Asians.

  633. 631.

I wish there were more of this thoughtful eloquence in the current CPC.
Instead, the best that they offer us is bigot snitch lines.

  634. 632.

Sounds a lot like Russia and China as well.

  635. 633.

This is looking like the anti technology column written on computers.

Posting on G&M comment sites for pennies from the Liberal party.

  637. 635.

Based on this editorial, but not just this editorial but the ridiculous
opinions regularly put forth, editorial or editorially-directed, etc., this
newspaper has gone batty, so politically correct to have lost all sense of
common sense.

  638. 636.

sorry cant feel sorry for the guy been sucking on the front tit for too long
and the only reason he’s at all relevant is our government allows french
language laws to rule. Yes french spelled wit a small f.

  639. 637.

It’s idiots like you who are the reason the province is in such dire trouble.

  640. 638.

The Globe is making a big deal of this ’Putin confrontation’.. I would think a
Globe reporter would have attempted to verify it, afterall it was reported by
the PMO staff so crediblity is lacking… anybody out there who wants the truth?

  641. 639.

Clearly, containing the spread of Ebola is racist.

  642. 640.

It’s the best of all possible worlds doncha know

  643. 641.

I completely agree with you. This government takes pleasure in turning the
screws on refugee claimants but rolls out the red carpet for this convicted
felon.

  644. 642.

NO bloody excuse Eliza. If the police can’t handle certain jobs, then take
away their authority to do so and give it to an organization that can …. the
army!

  645. 643.

Do you want the OILSANDS shut down??? typical left wing stupid comments!!!

  646. 644.

Really?And what kind of stores would those be? Walmart aims to be one stop
shopping - which means there are precious few small business they don’t
compete with. Get a clue.

  647. 645.

You cut-and-paste the same talking points in multiple messages on this thread.
Who is paying you?

  648. 646.

So a former Secretary of State and Two-term Senator is, in your mind, worse
than a clown with no understanding of how the Government works and what the
Constitution says. That soesn’t say much good about your thought processes.

  649. 647.

Well…. if I had the choice between the current, un-principled, Saudi regime or
an overthrow like we see in Syria, I’ll choose the former. One thing the world
is learning, slow progress is better and less costly (in lives) than
revolution.

  650. 648.

how do you know the money wont be used to enrich shareholders first?

  651. 649.

I smoke pot but not the very potent stuff. Too potent makes me paranoid. So BC
should develop a reputation for potency; that brings recognition. But we
should also offer Bud Light for those who like a calm stone.

  652. 650.

Total nonsense. Is this a Breitbart theory? No evidence for your conclusions….

  653. 651.

Go easy on them Mike, they are only atoms who don’t get around to reading
much. I’m glad that you and a few others do. Surviving the age of Rob and
Steve would be good.

  654. 652.

Ah Lars. I’ve missed your rants and pipeline support. Visit a reserve and walk
in those moccasins before you speak.

  655. 653.

Since he’s a New York socialist I would lean towards sex offender…

  656. 654.

Chiapethewise if you think Doug Saunders is a socialist you don’t have any
clue about the meaning of that word.

  657. 655.

I agree that Islam is fantasy, but the offense is still very real. If two
things equally offend, then does their grounding really matter, if the end
result is the same?

  658. 656.

He had to, otherwise he’d have had nothing to work with. When you look at the
party platforms, nearly 70% of Canadians agreed with most of it. Seems like
thats Canadian enough.

  659. 657.

What if they’re attacked? Wouldn’t you want them to be combat troops?

  660. 658.

Two words….Bob Rae!

  661. 659.

Funny; the one western separatist I know is also an Ontario transplant, to BC
however, but in the oil business as a services provider.

  662. 660.

personally I found recent coverage significantly slanted in favor of Mr. Dix
and the NDP. Better luck next time.

  663. 661.

Clearly you weren’t around while western Canada burned up this summer.

  664. 662.

That is fucking incredible

  665. 663.

Margaret Wente’s response to climate change? Do nothing. And she calls this a
mature response to this crisis.

A pickled ham wearing lipstick and an apple in its mouth.

  669. 667.

Maybe we can create a huge ”sense of identity” bureaucracy that we can funnel
even more tax dollars into. That’ll fix the problem of the odd nutjob slipping
through the cracks.

  670. 668.

Do you have any idea what welfare rates are like across Canada? You sound like
you don’t when you say things like that. You gave a nice sounding slogan but
at best it is meaningless.

  671. 669.

Worst PM ever, worst government ever. Zero respect. A nation embarrassed.
Pathetic.

  672. 670.

The Liberal Party is a fungus.

  673. 671.

what a load of garbage. the western lunatic fringe took us all on a ride under
harpers machiavellian manipulations. the rest of us westerners are finally
seeing through it and are sickened by it.

  674. 672.

Google ’New Brunswick General Election 1987’. Even though Richard Hatfield was
the Conservative leader at the time, what happened to him and his party is the
same thing as what’s about to happen to Krusty the Klown and the BC Liberals.

  675. 673.

The United States is a benign factor’Yeah, when they’re not busy arming head-

Your comment is beyond juvenile.

Neanderthals from Alberta is redundant. Just say Albertans.

Can’t admit who was responsible can you - do you live in the GTA?

Your sunny ways is becoming more like the Dark Empire, lol

Wait, did this need a sarcasm flag?

  685. 683.

Once a leader, Canada disappearing from the developing world’yes, Canadians
are legends in their own minds….. this started with the Liberals under

as Smilie claims

@ Reality_Check (not) most Toronto firefighters & police and most of the
highest paid Toronto employees don’t live in Toronto. So they aren’t spending
their high salaries in toronto. Check it out.

  687. 685.

I think a councilor should be able to vote how he feels and it is
inappropriate to robocallbutwhy is Doug Ford involved AGAIN! He is not the
mayor and should not be setting policy or direction. I do agree these guys are
bullies and yes liars

If Tabatha ever ventures off the overly politically correct shores, I would
not expect anything more than the usual cookie cutter marzipan journalism,

He could do worse than appoint Jim Stanford. LOL

Keep dreaming Liberals, but ’Le Dauphin’ is not ready for primetime….

  693. 691.

If you are Irrational, don’t make stupid comments, make rational ones ’We will
only pay for the who get sick through no fault of their own; the public should
not be expected to pay for life-style diseases.’

  694. 692.

Try using the same logic on Muslims and Arabs. You wouldn’t last long.

  695. 693.

Disgusting. Cannot believe this pay to play scheme is legal in Canada. Can
anyone have faith in a Prime Minister and a Minister of Finance who endorse
this practice. So tired of hearing silver spoons yak on about the middle
class.

  696. 694.

No, you’ve just demonstrated the ’God in the gap’ fallacy: anything that is
beyond your personal knowledge or comprehension must be ’God’. Apparently you
could learn more from this episode with the coin…

Wow, two things that I can tell about you from your post: 1. You’re young and
obviously didn’t live through it, & 2\. You have or are working toward an Arts

It’s odd that the ”lesser societies” are where everyone wants to emigrate to,
Iranians included. Why is that?

The issue is that the university is not generating special exemptions for
GLBTQs. That’s actually equality, not discrimination.

Women are not sexually superior to men. They are sexually superior to immature
boys.

The Globe replaces the letter from the former PM’s et al with this partisan
hack?

Ontario has one more disease to rid itself of, namely kathleen Wynne and her
entire incompetent, corrupt liberal government.

  711. 709.

Me too because PM Sunny Ways Selfie is a liar and a fraud and not very bright.

  712. 710.

None of your examples suggest the ’utmost vile hatred’ that you promised. You

So much for equality?.

  720. 718.

Umm… did you not just read this article on a media website? Is this article
what you consider ’anti-Harper bias’? If so, you really do need to lay off the
Kool-Aid or re-adjust your tinfoil hat or both.

presentation was simpler than half of the senior engineering projects at my
state school last year.

Excellent click bait for the legion of leftist hordes. Good job Mr. Martin.

  727. 725.

It was a very good article until the last sentence, which I thought stupid.

  728. 726.

Very good comment John, even if it requires fleshing out, so to speak, for the
many commenters who don’t understand the vacuous nature of disposable sex.

  729. 727.

Well you seem pretty sure YOU know all about the case, although you’ve
demonstrated you haven’t even read the basic facts about it.

in the trumpeter and move on your the next whacko. So it’s Jill Stein is it?
”Real Solutions go Working People” - wow! Inspiring!

Judy - you are Australian? Were you concerned with Australians killing Muslims
in Afghanistan?

The fact that such comments can be made about any person shows you how low we
have sunk in this country. You have no respect for yourself, let alone the
Prime Minister.

Cherry picked history from the Wile E Coyote of Alberta politics

Muslims generally think it’s a good idea for others to convert to Islam. The
main point made in this piece is that Cathlolics now have doctrinal
instruction no longer to try to convert Jews.

Have to laugh at the son of a Prime Minister who is made Prime Minister

you should get a subscription so taxpayers do not have to fund your fetish

  768. 766.

Speaking of morons you fit the bill.

  769. 767.

France is war mongering again.

  770. 768.

Too right! What a drama queen.

  771. 769.

Your opinion is extreme. I’m no fan of those two, but they don’t qualify as
extreme left-wing. Extremely incompetent, yes, but not extreme left-wing. More
like, ’ideological nutbars’.

  772. 770.

instability in Argentina – who knew??

  773. 771.

ah yes, Judge Judy. That bastion of informed, thoughtful, and insightful
justice. Change the channel, will you?

  774. 772.

This sounds like an ad from the Power Workers of Ontario.

  775. 773.

Ever heard of wage cuts? Don’t like it find another job.

  776. 774.

Politicians are sheep, they fear easily.

  777. 775.

Perhaps clever Canadian academics could be offering to help?

  778. 776.

That people are forced by the government to sneak around to use it is
completely distasteful to me. It’s akin to forcing blacks to sit at the back
of the bus. It’s time for a change.

  779. 777.

Saunders noodles about ’Canadian apartment dwellers’ from his elitist rookery
in London.

  780. 778.

Yes perhaps we should show some love and remove these children from these
’hating’ parents. If they resist, send the Swat teams. I’m sure you have
nothing but ’love’ for those who disagree with you.

  781. 779.

JH….many of your posts are actually ramblings.

  782. 780.

And we have two semi pretty blonde bobble heads that frame Harper and nod
every time the great Dick-tator opens his mouth for the camera’s

  783. 781.

Good one. Allah help the peaceable, ’moderate’ Muslin in France or Germany. Or
Belgium. Or…

  784. 782.

Tell me ’just tom’ and ’you cant handle the truth’ What bothered you more, my
words or the fact that there is censorship/monitoring of Replies?

  785. 783.

By supporting this bad bill, Trudeau managed to make the story about the
Liberals too.

  786. 784.

Your full of Sh*t. My FL rate is half of what my rate is in Ont. and I’m not
even there

  787. 785.

anything that is opposite of what the ontario libs are doing has to be better!

  788. 786.

I don’t think you understand how percentages, odds, or political analysis
works.

  789. 787.

Search the internet for Kal-Tec or Tavor TAR-21 or KRISS or Noringo 97.All
currently available in Canada without a restricted license, all semi’s, all
223 why all the fuss over the AR?

  790. 788.

The majority of teachers are anti-gun and, at the college level especially,
fascist. Use ex-military and/or police officers.

  791. 789.

…more learned liberal advisors…’Not only learned, but even ’more learned’?
Where have they been hiding all these years?

  792. 790.

HATE is not a strong enough word but I hate Stephen HarperHe is RUINING our
country

  793. 791.

Wrong assumption nakedeye1. Chinese and Indian beat English by many millions.
Now, keep on displaying arrogance. It works well for your class.

  794. 792.

I’d rather be me, than an ugly depressed manlet.

  795. 793.

Leftists pee their pants when they see a handgun but stand up and cheer when
someone gets their teeth knocked out in a hockey rink. Total hypocrites.

  796. 794.

Clinton prepares for debates like any normal person unlike Trump who just
can’t tear himself away from the ego trip of the adoration of the ”poorly
educated”, ha, ha, ha.

  797. 795.

Apparently you are not well educated on what is going on in Canada and what
exactly Kenney has done BESIDES NOTHING to stop it!

  798. 796.

Here’s your reality - Harper’s gone (and good riddance!). Get over it.

  799. 797.

How do you dream up the incessant nonsense? Harper is gone for good. Get over
it.

  800. 798.

This was a productive discussion before you joined in. Go back to sleep.

  801. 799.

We should not be smug about this. Canada dodged a brown shirted future by
getting rid of the Harper Government. In his desperation to be re-elected,
Harper appealed to and promoted bigotry.

  802. 800.

Boo! An Arab under every bed!!! Clutching a knife between his teeth to get ya!

  803. 801.

Yeah, right. Merit as defined by whom? By males, of course.

  804. 802.

In order to save this democracy we must stop people from participating!

  805. 803.

Again Jack, embarrassing commentary. You bring nothing to the conversation of
value. Please either up your game or stay home.

  806. 804.

HaHaHa! The comment section of the G&M has sure become the main message board
for left wing numbnutz!. Far more balanced posting at the NP.’And you are
here, Don. Welcome to the club, hahaha.

  807. 805.

Nature recently published something on this and it clearly showed not all
vegetarians are anemic, with a certain diet you and your sister can definitely
avoid that

  808. 806.

All colonialists, supremacists & loyalists inCanada celebrate a foreign
royalty today. God give us a republic ASAP.

  809. 807.

Poor Hamas will have to stop shooting rockets into Israel, and also stop all
other acts of terrorism against Israel

  810. 808.

It seems that Ms Wente has brought her war on drugs mantra from the US with
her. 1964 (year she emigrated) is a long time to harbor outdated attitudes in
a country that knows better, save for Hasrpers gang

  811. 809.

It’s a train wreck waiting to happen, I’m happy to say …

  812. 810.

If the comments here are the true yardstick how people will vote , the Liberal
will win a landslide election next time, and Harper conservatives will be
wiped out from the map.

  813. 811.

The BC Liberals have been trying to scare gullible sheep in B.C. since their
old Socred days. Remember old Bennett’s ’The Socialist horde is at the
gate!’Famous fearmongers the whole lot of them.

  814. 812.

Agreed, Donald Trump like many of those born with the golden spoon, share a
common sense of entitlement. Vilifying immigrates, the poor and disadvantage
will not put a halt to falling wages and standards of living for the rest of
us working stiffs.

  815. 813.

sure, and many prices have sky-rocketed. Friends of the government get the
company and they give us the business

  816. 814.

I completely agree with your commentary. It?s 2014 and contraception is an
essential part of male/female health/lifestyle. It?s an issue one discusses
with a medical professional. I wouldn?t let this physician treat me for a
pimple on my butt!!!

  817. 815.

Smoking marijuana relieves asthama symptoms. I’m surprised Stephen doesn’t
know that. Or maybe he does…

  818. 816.

They have a soft corner for co-religionists.

Diverse canada? who are you trying to blow? Flotsam and jetsam of the third

Indeed, russia is a pretty pathetic case for a country. I’ve been there a
number of times - miserable, unfriendly, uncouth people and third world living
standards.

another’ that isn’t the answer ’ editorial written by someone who conveniently
neglects to provide an answer

  823. 821.

I wonder if Truth lives far from our increasingly foreign dominated banlieux?

  824. 822.

It is time for Germany France and England to lead. It is time for Saudi,
Kuwait,UAE to lead. The US should offer its full support.

  825. 823.

How does an idiot like that manage to pull down $107k a year?

  826. 824.

Your clarification has as much relevance to people outside the absurd
subculture from which the words arose as do the terms ”bogey” and ”birdie” to
anyone other than golf enthusiasts.

  827. 825.

A union economist? LOL! What the frig is that? Great at spending other
people’s money until it runs out and then asking for a grant to continue?

  828. 826.

How’s that real estate speculation gig workin’ for ya?

  829. 827.

David too bad you never got out of grade 3.

  830. 828.

One World Government? Oh dear, you have been listening to those right-wing
American radio talk show hosts a lot lately, eh? Watch out for those black UN
helicopters!

  831. 829.

Since we’ve been hearing about adscam for over 20 years now then by your logic
it’s only fair that we keep talking about Duffy for 20 yearsIs that what you
want??

  832. 830.

Moon, Do you *really* need it spelled out to you?

  833. 831.

You know, right, that the first criteria to win a Nobel Prize of any sort is
that the winner has to be alive?

  834. 832.

Paul says ”only the more simple minded among us would think so.” Nice way to
welcome a new Canadian. Typical leftist vitriol and thuggery from someone
whose blue collar just covers his red neck

  835. 833.

why would Brad Wall save Ontario? There is no need to. Let Ontario drop.

  836. 834.

How about a Quebec federal red neck saying something stupid? Or a redneck from
Ontario? Doesn’t that bother you? It bothers me!

  837. 835.

Not to mention the slur on Motley Crue, who do not deserve any association,
wrongly perceived or not, with this Ship of Fools.

  838. 836.

This guy never signed up for Econ 101 in college…

  839. 837.

You got is backwards, it is Harper’s opposition who has initiated this fiasco
to show how the conservatives are against the freedoms of the immigrants….

  840. 838.

He likely already has several diseases given…

  841. 839.

Who wants to bet that the University of Ottawa will be the first to follow
California? Exactly the kind of low level Liberal Progressivism that Alan Rock
has built a career out of.

  842. 840.

@Boogeyman3 - I wonder if Liberals lie about drinking at the ACC and insulting
people?

  843. 841.

I am not criticizing you because what you said is fact. However, such a fact
is man-made arrangement and can be changed. Time to change.

  844. 842.

I don’t care if he is successful or not in rehab. I just want him gone. I am
long past feeling compassion for that waste of skin.

  846. 844.

Far right conservatism in trouble, progressive conservatism isn’t.

  847. 845.

So people can never change to become more reflective, more responsible and
more giving? Rubbish!!

  848. 846.

Liar. The actual number is 17.5%. See: http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-

  849. 847.

I used to think the WHO was a responsible organization. I used to think the
Cancer Society actually wanted to cure cancer. I used to think there was no
such thing as corruption. I used to think the Globe and Mail was a reputable
newspaper.

  850. 848.

100% accurate, unfortunately the liberal propaganda team will have this
comment deleted like every other post that doesn’t praise their god.

  851. 849.

Much ado about nothing. In the grand scheme of things this hardly rates. All
governments are corrupt. Only the degree of corruption is open to debate.

  852. 850.

Wrong!

  853. 851.

We elect governments that do not allow the ’market’ to operate, we’ve been
raised to be socialists.

  854. 852.

… and here I thought doctors went in it to help people first … wow am I naive.

  855. 853.

John, are you taking a break from your determined search for those WMDs in
Iraq?

  856. 854.

Nobody has a ’social licence’ to commit violence, keith, and certainly not in
the dubious cause of degrading our economy.

  857. 855.

You haven’t owned a Dodge Grand Caravan, bud. 10 more biweekly payments and
this piece of junk is going straight into Lake Ontario.

  858. 856.

Move over Stephen Poloz and Mark Carney. Here comes OldBanister: someone who
really knows what they’re talking about. LOL Holy s-8t.

  859. 857.

yes, let’s toss out rule of law … so we can be more like ISIS.

  860. 858.

sageantoine….if you believe hospital care is free… you are the one living in a
fantasy. I gladly pay my taxes… i begrudge them being pissed away on foolish
ideologically driven wastes of money such as carbon taxes etc.

  861. 859.

Correct thing’? Maybe for people like you who have been out to get the PM from
day 1, but not for me, nor for anyone else who can see clearly.

  862. 860.

Are you stuck in the 1950s?

  863. 861.

I’m all for black people expressing their grievances, but what has Gay Pride
to do with those concerns? Gay people are not the ones oppressing blacks.

  864. 862.

What was with Harper’s use of the phrase ’old stock Canadians’? Sounds a lot
like the ’pure laine’ reference by extreme nationalists ion Quebec. A strong
whiff of racism in that phrase. Too many Canadians not WASP enough for you
Steve?

  865. 863.

The appearance of Con support can be chalked up to cheating.

  866. 864.

Harper censored all scientists, a far greater offense, and basically got a
free pass.

  867. 865.

The G&M is a right-wing rag that gets called leftist whenever Simpson speaks
the truth.

  868. 866.

yes, I agree, Canada should give up its’ thousands of nuclear weapons./sarc

  869. 867.

Perhaps you should care about Tienanman Square if you are Chinese.

  870. 868.

Truth in politics is an oxymoron - and to write abvout it seems redundant !

  871. 869.

Good thing this did not happen at a Quebec university or the writers comments
wouldHave been far more negative Robert tGatineau quebec

  872. 870.

Many of history’s finest examples agree with you as well; Po Pot, Stalin,
Hitler, Chevas (sp), Castro….You hand-wringering, left-wing dingbats amaze me.
Perhaps your rainbow unicorn has some legal ideas to suggest.

  873. 871.

Atheism is a religion as well.

  874. 872.

Well since I am smarter than you are. I understand that anti-Canadian movement
of the left have done everything they could stop all pipelines from Alberta.
Now go back and join your anti-Canadian movement and continue stopping any and
all projects.

  875. 873.

So why is Trudeau also falling into line? Is he as dumb and naive as everyone
says he is? It appears that you think so.

  876. 874.

With that attitude, you must work on Obummer’s White House, eh?

  877. 875.

Pure drivel. But keep believing yourself!

  878. 876.

If there is anything the Press is very familiar with its the gutter.

  879. 877.

Try actually reading the article.

  880. 878.

A weird bit of illogic. Every citizen gets one vote, not many - obviously. You
vote where you are obligated to register, which is where you live, or as an
expat, last lived. Is that hard for you to understand?

  881. 879.

Never trust anyone who predicts the future with such certainty. This article
and woman are examples of why the British want and need to leave. Another
globalist rant about how your average person is too stupid and inept to govern
themselves.

  882. 880.

Nonsense .. The U.K. wants the right to control its borders . If Germany wants
to bring in millions of Arab migrants than go ahead but don’t force the UK to
feel the same

  883. 881.

Media monkey!

  884. 882.

Another dear leader that is more concerned with holding onto power than doing
what is right for his nation. Reminds me of Rob Ford.

  885. 883.

Hardly. Gibson is a life long Liberal with a capital ’L’.You certainly do not
know Mr. Gibson.

  886. 884.

People die if they are killed. But he probably didn’t know that.

  887. 885.

Amazing. Thank goodness the Clinton web of deceit hasn’t yet taken over Apple
autocorrect, Inspektor. Once that happens we know we are in deep deep doo-doo.

  888. 886.

Im willing to bet that they’re over ecological footprint is smaller than the
average person.

  889. 887.

This is an opinion piece. He is expressing his opinion. Got it?

  890. 888.

I suspect at least 40% of Canadians agree with you Bud. When a sober decision
is made at the ballot box on Oct 19, 2015 there is only one serious option.
Its the PM.

  891. 889.

More like Trudeau’s Fanzine.

  892. 890.

I am willing to bet that the other common factor is that they are all poor.

  893. 891.

I tend to agree. The biggest problem, as stated in the article, is that the
union won’t even discuss an evaluation process. Just mention it and we get a
strike. Our kids are being held for ransom.

  894. 892.

No, every Con played up the Liberal problems, like poor drunk Ralph Klein
squalling about the NEP and transfer payments. Even as PM Harper played up the
NEP. And the dumber members of Canadian society fell for it every time.

  895. 893.

If you smell anything like you look, no wonder you have to spend most of your
time posting on internet forums

  896. 894.

Mr Simpson is disingenuous. He fully well knows that Parliament really does
not exist in Canada. It has been fully castrated by the PMO, which is the real
ruler.

  897. 895.

500, 000 unemployed in Ontario. 170, 000 in Alberta and so on . Why don’t you
go there and put those people to work?

  898. 896.

The only racism displayed is your tolerance of old world sexism towards women.

  899. 897.

Sarcasm at its finest - well done.

  900. 898.

–well, –not_quite_no influence. Just enough to make us raise our hackles at
the absurdities published at ’the Centre-of-the-Universe’ in its’ sublime
ignorance of what’s west of Lake Superior.

  901. 899.

As if you know anything about terrorism or islamists. Get a grip.

  902. 900.

Mark Shore - thanks for the context, that’s very helpful. LoonerLander - your
input is great. Not everyone would get around the censors with a llama manure
reference ya know…

  903. 901.

Instead of stopping people from taking the own lives why don’t we actually
address the elephant in the room for once? Why are so many people finding life
so unbearable they chose to end it and what as Canadians can we do to help our
friends, neighbors and our children.

  904. 902.

A hateful Christian is an oxymoron

  905. 903.

What a poorly written article. Does not say much for the University of
Calgary. Like Harper he uses division for political gain.

  906. 904.

Neo-Left Statistics - 60% voted against Tory remember how many times sore
loser leftists whined that 60% voted against Harper 53% voted against Ford so
now we throw the whine back in their faces 60% voted against Tory

  907. 905.

Now if they would just add a contraceptive agent to the meatless meat then
they could really solve the world’s food problem.

  908. 906.

lemme get this strait…. an academic from NB sez govt is great….. am I the only
who sees a conflict here?

  909. 907.

Moronic comment, Jimmie.

  910. 908.

A WHOLE paragraph of NOTHING………. I just wasted 15 seconds of my life reading
your garbage

  911. 909.

Who is not running for POTUS. Irrelevant R U

  912. 910.

Who cares about the Reform Party or Back in the Day? If Back in the Day is so
important to you why not dream about how your Liberals used to be in power and
are now just 3rd rate also rans.

  913. 911.

All true, but the real ’why’ is that the others were loyal Canadians, while
Harper is a traitor engaged in treason.

  914. 912.

If you honestly see the deceitful Cons as the ’best option’ available I feel
sorry for you.

  915. 913.

Straw man argument. Your wife doesn’t pay income tax because she has no
income. Sutherland make millions of dollars annually and pays no Canadian
taxes on his income. Obvious.

  916. 914.

Shia are not promoting international terrorism. I would even question if
paying for the funeral of those murdered by Israel is really terrorism, but
since criticizing Israel is verboten, many believe it to be so.

  917. 915.

What a specious arguement. Are you suggesting that they wouldn’t have freezed
if those jets were parked?

  918. 916.

Union membership is NOT a requirement of employment. You’ve never heard of the
term ”Rand formula” employee? Look it up.

  919. 917.

Actually, the Central Canadian elites care more about bringing refugees into
the country at the cost of several billion than helping our own Canadians
first.

  920. 918.

Harper is the Prime Minister for only the 30% of us who still somewhat agree
with his prejudices. For the rest of us (including the Chief Justice), he is
content to be our Dictator, who will do anything to dictate his orders.

  921. 919.

Stop it Avi, you’re not supposed to comment on your own column.

  922. 920.

It’s too bad condescending wasn’t one of the choices. Clark is an elitist
without any elite qualities. Opportunist politician and talk show host don’t
make the grade.

  923. 921.

For decades, the big frightening threat was fundamentalist Christians…

  924. 922.

Yes, they will be much happier being Putin’s slaves.

  925. 923.

Thank you for you excellent statement. Unfortunately, these Marists/
Socialists change their behavior when they lose the luxuries of capitalism.
They steal other peoples stuff.

  926. 924.

Most people are hard-working, including people earning minimum wage. People
living exclusively or largely off their capital still consume services like
health care, and many others. They should pay their fair share for our
defence, our policing, etc.

  927. 925.

If I had a son who was an incompetent president he’d look like…

  928. 926.

Most Americans did not hear, nor would not care what a visiting PM from Canada
had to say… you over inflate how DC deals with these things…

  929. 927.

Hmm. Sounds like maybe your brain is wired to dismiss the science/ignore
climate change. Could it be the author is actually onto something? Nah, let’s
go with your conspiracy theory and call it ’logical thinking’ instead. Yeah,
that’s the ticket.

  930. 928.

It doesnt have to be hordes, a few as happened in UK, France, US. Deny all you
want, they want to violently rule the world, or have you not been following
what they are doing in Iraq?

  931. 929.

Because to thousand of racing fans even having the welfare and EI fools out
there losing to the slots is an embarrassment tot the sport of horse
racing….why add to the problem?

  932. 930.

Canada’s PM is devious and manipulative. THe TPP deal is shrouded in secrecy
but veils are the going concern with the Conservatives.

  933. 931.

Another one jealous of the rich, did the toronto star send you over

  934. 932.

I don’t recall Canada dropping bombs on India before terrorists in Vancouver
put a bomb on a plane and killed 268 Canadian citizens.

  935. 933.

How about the distribution of armaments to countries you know are supporting
some arms of the terrorist. Should they not be considered terrorist?

  936. 934.

Human rights tribunals rival the Nazis

  937. 935.

Now that you’ve climbed on your high horse and accused someone of being a
bigot, please tell us about the family you’ve sponsored.

  938. 936.

And How many jihadists and sharia law proponents in the mix?

  939. 937.

Next time quote your research. Angus Reid polling shows the exact opposite.

  940. 938.

however, I think the guy needs professional medical help’Detox?

  941. 939.

My guess is that Harper is more like Nixon than we realize - I bet that all
PMO offices were bugged (audio and video) as well as all email and computer
files regularly scanned and reported on. Harper is sick enough to set this up.

  942. 940.

Erika from Amerika will use this forum to:1.) Tell us how dumb Canadians are
and/or2.) Try to deflect or otherwise get defensive about anything that may
have negative connotations regarding the U.S.

  943. 941.

This rather predictable and innocuous article has drawn out an intriguingly
large coterie of rightists to bray denials.

If you’re going to quote, at least make an effort to get it right. ?? For me,
pepper, I put it on my plate ?. ?

The world is addicted to a destructive energy regime and our pathetic response
is: ’Hey, don’t pick on us! We’re just suppliers!’

  946. 944.

you don’t have to be one of the ”useful idiots” to believe that this monument
is a bad idea.

  947. 945.

Wow, commenting on a post about anti-semetism, you post a racist comment. What
a surprise.

  948. 946.

It is particularly funny since Lawrence Martin is usually a Liberal hack.

  949. 947.

difficult because there is no Party politics - officially but the weasel like
NDP type of councillors hold a monthly ”caucus” meeting 15 of them out of 44
this violates the spirit of Council

  950. 948.

Oh please …..Sick & tired of hearing about the ’noble’ Jews. Israel; talk
about a terrorist state - they are the paradigm.

  951. 949.

Its a black mark on the feminist movement who think they can make up law on an
ad hoc basis to suit their needs at any point in time.

  952. 950.

And they can start with not listening to your sour attitude in your post. You
don’t like what men are doing..? TOO BAD FOR YOU..!

  953. 951.

The HATER Jack trolling as usual. Dismal handling, could you provide some
examples? Low oil prices?

  954. 952.

We shouldn’t have to deal with your horseshit here.

  955. 953.

ZZzzz…. Fill in the blank______ have a right to be heard and respected. What a
meaningless cliche!

I see you haven’t bought into JT’s ’new style of politics’ rhetoric and prefer
the standard Chr?tien liberal style of divisive partisan ad hominem attacks. I
tweeted your comment to him. You made him cry.

  957. 955.

That’s nice, sweetie, you keep thinking that

  958. 956.

Hmm well well comment after comment by Castro loverscomment after comment with
distorted historycomment after comment of true believersall by the illusion
filled extreme left…

  959. 957.

Another Liberal boodoggle

  960. 958.

Reminds me of Dan rather, the left winger making up fake news on 60 Minutes
about George W Bush. He was forced to resign. It happens on all sides of the
political spectrum.

  961. 959.

Keep telling yourself that.

  962. 960.

It appears ignorance is bliss in your case. Maybe you should take your own
advice.

  963. 961.

Anything a reader posts extemporaneously that shows disrespect for a PM, other
than Harper, is abusive and must be removed.

  964. 962.

actually he is from the university of guelph.. not in the GTA last i looked

Tory will not get re-elected. This and the DumbTrack will be a nail in his
coffin. Buh buy Mayor Tory. You are no better than any of them.

  966. 964.

If we have no right to call the language we speak French, you have no right to
call your language ’English’.It is because of people like this that
separatists exist.

  967. 965.

I agree No too any Games, this group is not very trustworthy in any land!

  968. 966.

The press did not cover themselves in glory on this one. The relentless
cheerleading for Ms. Clinton was rather nauseating.

  969. 967.

Lyle Lyle Crocodile it certainly does not include dingbats like u that like
ms.wente’s columns!! It shows the state of your non-existent brains.

  970. 968.

No means yes, yes means anal’, is a joke brought on by the stupidity of
feminists. And I really don’t care what your reaction is to that….

  971. 969.

Yeah, because trying to force the First Nations to give up their culture has
never had negative consequences for them before!

  972. 970.

You do not question the Dear Leader! Our Lord and Saviour’s word is Gospel and
must be treated as such! Trudeau is ENTITLED by birthright to run Canada as he
sees fit!

  973. 971.

Actually all it takes is to say you are ( and of course label yourself a
Conservative) and Harper’s base will swallow it all hook, line and sinker.

  974. 972.

You must be joking, right? The NYT recently published the home address of
Darren Wilson, the officer behind the killing of Michael Brown. Talking about
low class journalism. In a turnabout is fair play, the reporters’ addresses
have been published.

  975. 973.

The voters in Ontario were faced with the choice between a liar, a fool and a
thug.

  976. 974.

Why, of course. How could I have been so stupid! They simply take 2.5% away
from all the teachers and then give it back. Thanks for clearing that up,
Friggate! Now, back to summer vacation, you!

  977. 975.

That long list of Harpers transgressions is pretty sickening. But consider
just how much the Conservative party is now hated by a growing number of
voters, and there’s your answer.
