We segregate all the time, you only don't like this segregation because somehow it is linked to Islam in your eyes.

I give my money to a cause I believe in, filling up my gas tank. Why should the government be able to take a cut?

Not when oil (gold, diamonds, etc.) is involved.

The $7.5 million is a very low estimate of what it cost us to train that doctor to be part of the system providing universal healthcare. If they want to then beg out of that system in order to fill their pocketbook, then they need to repay it. They and the patient are contributing to the destruction of the public healthcare system. The tax paying patient will howl and cry to lower his/her taxes, and the doctor has elected to choose his patients on the basis of money.

Bluetooth is very universal, Apple has no lock on it. I agree however there are reasons you want to have wired headphones. Are you allowed to use bluetooth on airplanes? There might be an exception because of its low power and limited range. As a side note, dual cameras - great improvement. Apple was making a lot of noise about the iPhone 6 and it's camera capability, it appears they are getting serious about this use.

Any doctor who practices in private healthcare should reimburse the government $7.5 million for his/her education. Any patient who elects to use private healthcare should never be allowed to use the public system again - ever.

You forgot to add: Get off my lawn

Wrong on all counts. Bloomberg sees Canada as a market, and has been very successful here selling his wares. He has not made any significant capital investments in Canada. He has a product that provides value, unlike Trump. Trump also does not invest in Canada, he just sold his name to Val Levitan and Alex Shnaider, both Russian-Canadian businessmen who put up the capital.

Copy and paste all you like, but this is not about other countries, it is about Canada where you want to forcefully remove the Hijab from women in order to oppress them. Yes, advocate all you want about fixing the problems in other countries, but don't create more in mine.

Bloomberg is well known on Bay street, he doesn't have to satiate his ego.

Yes, unlike Donald Trump, Michael Bloomberg is an excellent example of an American (from New York city) becoming a great business and political success. Here is what he had to say about Trump: "He has run the most divisive and demagogic presidential campaign I can remember, preying on people’s prejudices and fears. Abraham Lincoln, the father of the Republican Party, appealed to our ’better angels.’ Trump appeals to our worst impulses.”

The Clinton foundation has absolutely nothing to do with campaign financing. Please provide a single reference to your allegation.

Where were any campaign funds solicited and accepted from foreign nationals? Are you saying there was Russian money funnelled to Trump?

Well, at least that is a giant evolutionary step forward from We don't need a logical decimal system of measurement based on natural units invented by a Frenchman, much better to have a chaotic system standardized by an Englishman. I miss the rod, furlong, finger, hand, palm, cubit, fathom and barleycorn. Interesting side note, the Anders Celsius (Dutch) temperature scale is almost as old as the Daniel Fahrenheit (Swedish) scale but was used more commonly in scientific communities and didn't become part of mainstream society until the 1960's/70's. Fahrenheit's original scale was based on the temperature of a brine (salt water) solution freezing at 0° and water freezing at 32°, human body temperature was assigned 96° as this made divisions on the thermometer easy (64 divisions between water freezing and body temperature). It was later decided to set the boiling point of water as 212°, which meant a slight revision was necessary for the body temperature. Celsius's scale started from day one with water freezing at 0° and boiling at 100°, no revisions were necessary. What I miss in all of this is what system is not foreign?

Wrong, Wrong, Wrong! We do not accept many aspects of other cultures, but we do no lump the benign ones in with everything else. Our culture respects the individual, and we ensure that is pushed onto them. If an individual chooses to dress a certain way, we respect that, we do impose our cultural dress onto them. Those who try are the barbarians who belong in other cultures.

Jeb Bush had the unfortunate luck to be born into the wrong family.

Why not, when a man can't get a word in edgewise in any conversion who cares that those odd words are worth more? The woman is still way out ahead.

The article by David Akin you linked to very clearly shows that the Liberals have indeed changed things: Media requests for interviews with scientists are shared with the Minister’s Office for information only. There is no review or approval required on their part before we proceed with the interview. While media requests on policy, enforcement, international affairs, etc. still go through approvals processes, for science requests this is not required This is very different from the previous Harper policy that stated: all media queries must now be routed through Ottawa where “media relations will work with individual staff to decide how to best handle the call; this could include: Asking the program expert to respond with approved lines; having media relations respond; referring the call to the minister’s office; referring the call to another department,” Do you not see the difference between them? Yes, it does sound like not everyone got the memo: Scientific integrity remains an active concern. A communications policy was issued by Treasury Board with the intention to end “muzzling,” but its implementation remains uneven across science-based departments. Scientists are still being prevented from participating in conferences that allow them to engage with the broader scientific community. Moreover, there has been no indication that the government intends to enshrine the principles of scientific integrity in collective agreements, meaning there are no enforceable safeguards to protect against future anti-science governments. That sounds more like the problem turning around the ship. The captain issues the command, but the pilot and engine room were so used to the previous course they were following for the past 9 years that they are not responding fast enough. After so many years of brainwashing by the back room boys at the PMO, it will take awhile to clear out the clutter.

I thought women burned their bras in the 70's, why are they still wearing them?

ISIL = 100,000 people, less than half of them actual fighters Islam = 1,500,000,000 people So why does Argus insist that that 0.07% of a population is the standard? You realize that almost twice that amount of Canadians are incarcerated, and no doubt you are arguing that there should be more.

I came across a study that disagreed with my position, so I will claim the study bogus. I came across another study that agrees with my position, so no matter how shady that study I will proclaim it to be of utmost credibility.

Really? Can you name one? Yes Obama gets a lot of "support" in Canada, but I doubt Clinton does. It is just that Trump is viewed as vile.

C02 is not a local issue, it is a global one. The local issue would be particulate and nitrogen oxide emissions; that all depends on the engine, modern diesel engines are generally way better than those of a decade or more old.

Last time I looked, the back room boys at the PMO and MPs were paid public servants as well.

Poor attempt at humor, but a firing offence? If you want to fire Critch, a comedian, for making a bad joke then what do you suggest for the multitude of CPC back room boys and even front line MPs for their absolutely terrible statements about Justin Trudeau? I guess you want to bring in the firing squad for them.
