  1. There aren't enough females running in elections.
  2. At one point, I was on transit heading downtown and everyone on the packed bus spontaneously started singing 'O Canada'. What a feeling!
  3. Personally speaking, it was fantastic. A real camaraderie was formed in Vancouver among the citizens and was still present many months later. It was an amazing experience to be part of it.
  4. You have pretty much said bye-bye to anyone who was willing to give you the time of day. bye-bye Betsy.
  5. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Did Step In It—Now Get Over It - Commentary by Roger Parloff"One problem with what Ginsburg said is the painfully obvious hypothetical that several commentators have raised: What if the 2016 election ends the way the 2000 election did, with the contest being litigated up to the U.S. Supreme Court for an reprise of Bush v. Gore? Would she have to recuse herself?" "Well, she wouldn’t literally have to, because there’s no authority with the power to force a Supreme Court justice to recuse him or herself if the justice chooses not to. But if she didn’t, the institution’s credibility would take its biggest drubbing since, well, Bush v. Gore."
  6. I would imagine if its a sin it's harming society.
  7. Ok so I'm asking again. How is homosexuality harming society? Can you tell me why God thought it was a detriment to society?
  8. I have no problem with him bowing out. Why do you have a problem with it?It's a personal decision.
  9. Ok so I'm still trying to figure out what is the sin surrounding this. Can you explain it to me?
  10. If I recall Rory did mention that at one time in the press. I will have to dig it up.
  11. If Christ exists I bet he'd be pretty stoked!
  12. This is wonderful news. I hadn't heard about this.
  13. Sorry about the missing link. Couldn't because of my iPhone.
  14. Perhaps they should. No one really knows much about Zika but the Brazilians pretend to. Besides. Golfers aren't as passionate about representing their country as Canadian hockey players are.
  15. He also wants to have healthy babies.
  16. Ginsburg has come out both barrels blazing against trump. She is awesome!! Was she wrong in voicing her opinions during the presidential campaign. I don't think so. She has every right to voice her opinion.
  17. What if this woman was your neighbour? What about 'love they neighbour......'This is one of the biggest problems I have with religion. The hypocrisy.
  18. I'll repeat. Not very Christian of you.
  19. Well you seem to because you are replying to my posts.
  20. Sure it is, but it's not very nice.
  21. Do we have a problem here in Canada with multi-culturalism? Is anyone in Canada imposing their cultural practice on you?
  22. That's not very Christian of you to allow others to point, stare and laugh at other people exercising their rights.
  23. "Slavery is a silent crime. Victims don’t come forward. In the EU the number of convictions for human trafficking has dropped by 13 per cent in the past few years; the latest U.S. data show that only 7,705 prosecutions took place in 2012, though the number of identified victims reached 46,570. In Canada, as of February 2013, there were 77 ongoing human trafficking prosecutions. In 2012 only 27 convictions took place, 12 in 2011. Some victims don’t see themselves as such, especially victims of sexual exploitation, who tend to develop a psychological dependence on their abuser. Victims of domestic slavery are often foreigners who cannot leave the house or speak the local language. Others are simply afraid to seek help. The courage of Leticia Sarmiento, the Filipino nanny at the centre of therecent landmark human-trafficking case in British Columbia is direct evidence that justice can be achieved when victims of human trafficking speak out." http://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/they-walk-among-us-slavery-in-the-21st-century-takes-many-forms/article14924976/ Tim, you need to figure out what slavery represents.
  24. "Canada is among 12 nations with the lowest estimated prevalence of modern slavery, according to the charity. The index put Canada’s population at 35,871,000 with an estimated 6,500 or 0.018 per cent people living in slavery." "The reported cited that the agricultural sector in the U.S. and Canada as a high risk area for enslavement. “Others sectors have also been identified as high risk including construction, hospitality and domestic service,” the report said." http://globalnews.ca/news/2731827/there-are-6500-slaves-in-canada-nearly-46-million-worldwide-charity/ Slavery in Canada: Do we know our history?
