"Stop harshing my mellow."

Was the Lewinsky thing only Hillary's business?

His client committed a crime and adultery. Clinton was impeached for lying to authorities about sex. Again if you're cool with it, good on you. But Trump is supported by the Evangelical Right. The biggest set of hypocrites I can imagine at this point.

That boy is drunk. He needs to step down today.

Sometimes I think Andrew Coyne is an idiot, and sometimes I think he's pretty savvy. This tends to depend, of course, on how much he agrees with me, or I with him. Today's column is noteworthy because it crystallizes the problems I have had with the Conservatives for years, and why I liked the Reform Party so much more. The Reform Party stood for something, and it did so unapologetically. It believed certain things were wrong and needed to be changed, and didn't hesitate to say so. As opposed to the Progressive Conservatives, who simply made mouth noises but rarely followed through. Then there was Stephen Harper, the great pragmatist, who never wanted to rock the boat. Harper's Conservatives were huge supporters of the military, but did nothing for them. They complained about health care, but did nothing about it. They tinkered slightly with immigration without any major reforms. They accomplished nothing with regard to the native issue. They did nothing with regard to inter-provincial trade barriers. Hey, how about a free trade system INSIDE Canada?! They were terrified to even bring up any sort of social issue, like the death penalty or maybe doing some sort of compromise to put in place the kind of mild regulations on abortion such as Sweden or France have. They caved in to the opposition and indulged in a huge amount of deficit spending. They governed like anything but conservatives. And today, what does Scheer stand for anyway? What do today's Conservatives want to accomplish while in office? What to do about natives, about health care, about the freight train of unemployment headed down the tracks at us in the near future when AI takes over so many jobs? What big, bold, visionary ideas are they proposing? I can't think of a thing. "Hey, we're better than Trudeau at least" will probably be their campaign slogan in a couple of years, and they'll approve a few niche programs to enlist voters from those groups, and then they'll lose. You can't outspend the Liberals, because they really don't care how deep the deficit goes. That means you need some big bold ideas, as Coyne says. And those have been sorely lacking from the Conservative party of late. http://nationalpost.com/opinion/andrew-coyne-canadas-conservatives-wont-start-winning-until-they-know-why-they-want-to-win#comments-area

Projecting again... Again...the Palestinians as a people were created at 1967's Khartoum Conference of the Arab League. Before this "magic event", they were called Egyptians and Jordanians respectfully.

Gee....I wonder where else that happened...on a continental scale.

Trump was never busted for lying in a federal court ("...that woman, Ms. Lewinsky"). Ted Kennedy killed a woman, but served several more terms as a U.S. Senator. Porn stars are very, very American...Canada watches a lot of American porn.

A real Nazi, too. Not just calling the dude "Nazi". Movements such as the Palestinian Cause do not get their own Jew-free terror state. In fact, they should be the problems of Jordan and Egypt...those responsible for the war. Syria, too...but hey...it's already gone.

That's sweet. The Arabs still followed an escaped Nazi, start wars and engage in terrorism.

What about this (link): For example, PLO member Zahir Muhsein told the Dutch newspaper Trouw in 1977 that the Palestinian people does not exist. “The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity,” he said. “In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct ‘Palestinian people’ to oppose Zionism for tactical reasons.”

AND, as to the comments against the American way, America is NOT a cult. They DO have people who believe in SEGREGATION laws too. BUT, they are VOLUNTARY and DO NOT IMPOSE laws that favor people based on select races. Of course this too has degraded in the U.S.. But this is IN SPITE of their Constitution with its First Amendment. And it proves that given the fact that racists and sexists STILL have more power in a voluntary society, when it is forced upon people from above, our type of system is worse. I rode my first horse on a Cherokee Nation in South Carolina. I remembered how welcomed we were as EQUALS to them. Here in Canada, you can't do this. The reserves are ONLY for those who have a genetic linked inheritance here. In the U.S. I can CHOOSE to become a member of the Cherokee Nation. If I was adopted by an Aboriginal family, I'd only 'own' the culture that my family opts to have as traditions without laws that conserve them. So if you got something against the U.S., it is only because you can't avoid the POWERS of those cults that have collective BELIEFS in their Genetic roots voluntarily. But they are NOT forced in laws like they are here.

"Racism" is the charge by the Boshie family and ALL those Aboriginals who collectively opted to RALLY AGAINST all Canadians and its supposed (but unclarified) "systematic abuses". It is not something I made up here. "American" justice is about treating people as individuals without reference to any fucking 'superiority' complex that Kings and Queens think they deserve. You are praising our system when it is 'authoritarian' (top-down lead). The ONLY reason Trudeau and others are supporting the Natives is to HIDE their own liability to the debt of their own abuses. But they DICTATED me and all Canadians to a "constitution" specifically designed to EVADE a sincere Charter of Rights for ALL people. That is, whatever 'freedoms' we have been granted are THROUGH the auspicies of those Canadian families who are RELATED to the original Ontario/Quebec 'loyalists' made up of mostly Catholic and Anglican lovers of Feudalistic thinking that treats its members as "commoners". We are a theocracy that hides behind a feigned "democracy". It IS 'democratic' to THOSE fortunate to have INHERENT rights guaranteed to them with PRIORITY. These select groups though do not include those like myself that has no cult beliefs in Gods or irrational Nationalist beliefs that in my genes I OWN (inherit) my parents' and all other of my ancestor's ARTISTIC behaviors: Culture, religion, etc. THIS is racist because it falsely assigns ownership of ENVIRONMENTAL behaviors (of ancestors) as a GENETICALLY linked FACT!! If you are "Scottish", this government says that you OWN the culture of wearing Kilts, for instance. While this may seem mundane to you, this 'stereotyping' requires being logically consistent across all factors both GOOD AND BAD. So if you are 'German', for instance, you require OWNING the fault of the Holocaust, as much as the Oktoberfest beer celebrations etc. If one who is "Aboriginal" genetically has some 'right to PERPETUITIES by Trudeau's own ancestors, HE and ONLY HIS agreed relatives should PAY for any of the past abuses that he readily excuses US ALL as "owning" simply for NOT having Aboriginal genes. I'm tired of this stupidity. If you agree to this for some essence of loyalty to Canadian history, it only tells me that you are one of those fortunate elites who interpret your own fortune as STEREOTYPICALLY linked to all of those who have similar genes to you. So, given this background, to the case at issue, when the Natives rally, this is NO DIFFERENT than what the Germans did for their own beliefs of "distinct Nationalities" of which the Aboriginal German (Aryan race) believed they were separately worthy of OWNERSHIP of GENETIC CULTURE. That is, they too believed that they were victimized by the non-aboriginal Germans who invaded their economies and stole their lands. The JURY did NOTHING wrong regardless of its verdict. The Boshie family ONLY accept a 'guilty' verdict. While this is understandable of one's direct familiar relationships, IT HAS NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO DO WITH THE WHOLE ABORIGINAL RACE. And so when they rallied AS A COLLECTIVE, they also PROVE that it would have been absurdly STUPID of the defense to SELECT Aboriginal peoples on their jury. Note that IF they alter the rights of the accusers to have power of juries with privilege THIS SHOULD ALSO apply to Natives. This would be bad equally for them too (IF WE REMAIN CONSISTENT WITH ANY NEW LAWS). But they will ONLY ACCEPT laws that EMPOWER the Aboriginal uniquely and exclusively. And this means that their appeal to the government is only to have a selective socialist favor for their own "Nations" (National Socialist). I and all other people are born 'aboriginal' of this Earth. The problems that exist are ONLY due to racism and sexism by those who deem it essential to EMPOWER those groups uniquely and exclusively, NOT those pointing out the hypocrisy. I don't OWN some 'European' culture, regardless of the fact that many of them DO have an advantage. But the problems of the Aboriginals are NOT due to the dissociated individuals outside of any cult. It is ONLY due significantly to the contrast of WEALTH that only INCIDENTALLY have larger plurality of Aboriginals. The problem is POVERTY, ISOLATION, and further NATIONAL SOCIALISTIC protections that TREAT THEM AS discriminate beings (some other KIND of human?) So the classification of any problem of discrimination is due to poverty. But they or other groups who are plural and strong enough as a cult are given special significance by our government because those in power and wealth here are ALSO believers in their OWN distinct status as humans. By forcefully ISOLATING people by supplanting and even reviving dead cultures through segregation (such as a right to their own private language), they are purposely attempting to HIDE the actual cause to deny the larger part of the class of those impoverished. When those within the same economic classes are isolated this way, it is just like the Israelis using their settlements to ISOLATE the collective nature of the Palestinians to be empowered to overthrow them. With Cultural laws, this eases the capacity of the wealthy elitist to divide us by redefining such divisiveness as a virtue: diversity. "Diversity" by them means SEGREGATE CULTS. They think of different races as distinct animals that require separate cages in a zoo. It was this very reason why the arrogant 'colonialists' suggest "reserves" as we might have a "buffalo reserve". Instead of destroying these racist concepts, you and others are supporting STRENGTHENING these institutes. If such laws favor you, then OWN this yourself. But stop imposing us to segregate based on your own discriminatory racist beliefs. I may have 'white skin' but I am NOT 'white' by any culture other than my OWN choice .....not my ancestors! To me I treat people as independent beings that have a RIGHT to CHOOSE their 'culture'. If I like skateboarding, this becomes MY CULTURE. But if my grandparents played HOCKEY, I do NOT OWN this culture because it is NOT my choice of artistic lifestyle. (In fact I hate this stereotype also being imposed upon me as a Canadian)

Well, this whole porn star controversy is weak. It was obviously agreed to by the woman and it didn't happen in the oval office, so i'm not sure that it's anyone's business besides Melania's.

Pillory away...Trump has weathered far worse than lying about paying off a porn star. Trump beat Hillary Clinton by changing the political rules.

I don't know that he did lie....but so what if he did ? Obama told lies too.

Adultery is no longer a crime in most states...it is not a federal offense. Lying is not a crime, unless under oath or to the FBI. Ever heard of a guy named Jim Bakker ? Jessica Hahn had a great rack !

Okay...that's what lawyers get paid to do. So what's the problem ?

Donald Trump had "relations" with plenty of women going back to his other marriages too....probably taught Bill Clinton some tricks. Do you think Trump just wrote Stormy Daniels a check ?

Again...so what even if he did ? A "porn star" ran for governor of California.

Sheesh! It's fitting that the menu page I'm seeing for those videos contain adds for toilets.

Did Trudeau bow to the audience in that video ? Must be the drama teacher in him....

Canada's PM Kim Campbell-

More background is needed here.... trials determine a guilty or not guilty verdict, unless there is a mistrial declared or other special outcome...not innocence. This is an important distinction. indictable offenses with stiff penalties usually afford the accused the choice of judge or jury trial in Canada. the conviction rate in Canada discounting abandoned prosecution and other technicalities is quite high...greater than 90%. experts/professionals are invaluable for evidence discovery and analysis, but not final conviction/acquittal by one's "peers". the overwhelming power of the state requires protections and rights for the accused. http://nationalpost.com/news/canada/just-3-of-criminal-cases-end-in-aquittal So before a trial ever reaches a judge/jury, the case has been scrutinized for many factors that would result in a finding of not-guilty.

Salvation depends on believing Jesus is God. When one received Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, he must understand who he is receiving as Lord and Saviour. Jesus the Messiah is the Son of God and God as the Bible teaches in various places which have already been posted. and can be googled.

True...some idiot in Canada (Marc Emery) thought he could legally mail cannabis seeds across the border.

She looks like she'd wipe your face with a poison rag at the first opportunity.

That's interesting, but also doesn't change the fact that he saw himself as some kind of gangster. I'm not sure if it's still up or has been edited yet, but if you went to his FB page it's very telling. You get a clear picture that he saw himself as a gangster and thug. Lot's of posts about criminal behaviour. Also interesting is the fact that his uncle was convicted of the murder of two farmers. An uncanny similarity of circumstances wouldn't you say? It appears that criminal behaviour was, and still may be a way of life for this family. Lately there's been talk that his uncle is a member of the Indian Posse and that this young man also aspired to be a member. I'm sure that's something that won't be reported on though. It doesn't fit the narrative that's being created. I just checked, his FB page is gone.

Interesting point of view. This makes me think, Mr. Trudeau could be the same kind of leader as Mr. Trump, just on the opposite side of the political spectrum. He has the same style, appeal to emotionalism. His personal background is similar too... born into wealth, fame, guaranteed success, with no prior experience in politics. No prior experience in working at all, really. Although Trump does have more as a businessman. Or is that Businesskind. But now I think there really is something to this. When I saw the video of Trudeau confronting that woman at the town hall over her use of the word "mankind", I immediately felt he was bullying her. Not just because of the word, but because of what she was saying about her religious belief. She was a Christian, I think, and asked him to participate with her group, and he pretty much just blew her off like she was a nut. Had she been wearing a Hijab, he probably would have been much nicer.
