Donald tells me that Latino judges cannot hear cases against him.

£350 million a week lie, that is over £18 billion ($32 billion) a year lie by the LEAVE campaign. Put another way, they bought individual votes at the cost of £1034 ($1840) a year.

In Europe, yes. It is however way smaller than New York (both NYSE & Nasdaq individually), and a bit smaller than Tokyo. Euronext (Paris/Amsterdam/Brussels) however is biting on the heels of London for equity markets. After they leave the EU however I suspect that the LSE will take a severe blow.

Yesterday's referendum allowed the people to speak, but it is up to Parliament to actually follow through on Brexit. The Prime Minister has already stepped down, will Britain be forced into a general election? Will UKIP be able to form a government? Will Brexit be part of any of the other party platforms?

Interesting to look at the influencing factors by age. It appears the older you get, the less you listen to friends, family and experts and more to the media.

Is this what you are talking about? Take note of the date.

Am I reading this right? The leave side is having second regrets and now blaming it on the remain side.

Money raised by Democratic Presidential campaigns & SuperPACs - $522.4 million Money raised by Republican Presidential campaigns & SuperPACs - $769.4 million That is a 47.3% advantage for the Republicans. You were saying what about the 'left'? In Congress, the Republicans are ahead as well, but only by about 10%

If I had a friend that think he is going to commit suicide, I would be concerned. No different if he thought he was a pedophile, that would raise a red flag. ... A 52 year old man that thinks he's a 6 year old boy is going to have just as many problems earning anyones trust. This is not about sexual identity, it is about maturity. I wouldn't leave a 52 year old who thinks he/is 6 alone with another 6 year old, period. I also wouldn't leave two 6 year olds alone either.

This is ask #4 (I should do this once a day). Other than the colour of their skin, does anyone know why these are not good choices and why others passed over would be better?

No, the fact that Ted Bundy harmed others is exactly the point. There are many people who were previously contributing members of society that began to harm people, and once they crossed that line then we need to take acton. In some of those people there were clear warning signs before, while in others they seemed to suddenly snap. The problem is pickup up the right warning signs and taking action before. We know that sexual preference is not a credible warning sign, could you point out why sexual identity should be? ... You obviously totally ignored what I said about trust.

The provinces hold much more control over the operation of the CPPIB than the federal government, and yes it is a product of federal legislation but making vast changes to the legislation would be very difficult (political suicide) without provincial buy-in. Yes, technically it could happen but there would have to be a significant change in Canadian politics for that to occur. Note however the CPPIB is separate from the government, and separate from the CPP itself. This is an investment board that manages investments on behalf of the CPP. Change to the CPP are not under control of the CPPIB and the federal government could make changes there more easily. In fact I believe the CPPIB act is still in its original 1997 form, but the CPP act is changed regularly (average of twice a year over the past decade).

It is hard to tell for sure because all these aircraft are still somewhat secret. Only the F-35 is available outside the US, and then the foreign forces have yet to have full production aircraft to do their own assessment. The X-band radar cross section is what is commonly used to make comparisons, but even that is highly variable depending on direction. From that simplistic viewpoint, it appears that the F-35 is about half that of the old SR-71, the F-117 is slightly better, and the F-22 is significantly better. The information on the B2 is all over the map, which is not surprising because the Americans really want to keep it a secret. There are good reasons it might be better or worse than the others, personally I expect it is better and perhaps much better than the smaller F-22. Yes, I have heard the story about the F-35 being better than the F-22. Realize that the US wants to sell the F-35 and not the F-22. The F-22 is an air superiority aircraft, and the F-35 is not. Foreign buyers have been concerned about this so I believe that the US is positioning the F-35 as "better stealth" simply to sell it. One thing that is well known is the F-22 has much better design than the F-35 around the engine exhaust venting which can have a significant effect on the stealth characteristics. I expect the B-2 is way better than both in that department, but only the US military would know for sure.

Ted Bundy harmed others, exactly what I pointed out is what I have problems with. Knowing someone for a year is meaningless, how well did I know them and what did I learn? I don't know what you mean by a sleep-over. Generally I would wonder about a 6 year old having a sleepover with any 52 year old (straight, gay, bisexual, transgender, whatever). If a 52 year old identifies as a pre-schooler, then that has nothing to do with sexual identity that is a completely different issue. If a 52 year old acts like a 6 year old then I wouldn't trust them as an adult.

I did a quick check on the private equity side, and the exposure by trading currency is: US dollar - 65% Euro - 15% Indian rupee - 9% Chinese yuan - 6% Canada dollar- 5% Australian dollar - <1% of course, that is only the trading currency and the companies could be anywhere with any of them. Equities in US dollars are probably mostly traded in New York & Chicago, those in Euro's are traded in Frankfurt, London, and Parris, etc. I didn't look at public holdings or real-estate.

The investment board has many professional employees who do the appropriate research and make the investment recommendations/decisions, but I assume you are talking about directors of the CPPIB. The nominating committee has a federally appointed chair and one representative from each participating province. The federal Finance Minister will then make the appointments in consultation with the provincial Finance Ministers.

Rumours are flying around that Jason Kenney will be leaving Ottawa to head a unite the right campaign in Alberta. We have already heard a reaction from the Wildrose party, who welcome anyone but clearly say that Brian Jean is the party leader and will remain so. It appears the Wildrose believe they are in the drivers seat thanks to first past the post system. While they gained a lot in the last election, and ended up with twice the seats as the PCs, they actually had a smaller percentage of the popular vote (ie. they were locally concentrated, just like when the Bloc Québécois was official opposition in Ottawa during the 90's). Will Jason make this move? Will he accept a "significant role", or is he going for the gold?

I expect there were many factors considered, unlike those that think skin colour is the deciding factor. Can you tell me what the deciding factor was in appointing Marc Nadon & Vic Towes?

I usually start questions with 'Do', or are you trying to tell me how I think? I think we are all different, and to varying degrees. The question is how do we deal with those differences? If those differences cause harm to another individual, then yes I would consider them a 'defect' and need to be dealt with. Certainly there are differences that are clearly outside the norm, but do they cause harm to others? Homosexuality is outside the norm, but there are tens of millions of homosexuals that are strong contributing members of society in all walks of life. There are a lot fewer transgender people, but does that suddenly mean they are not strong contributing members of society? What about those people who like to dress up in Star Trek costumes, do we suddenly ignore their other contributions and send them to therapy? If you read what I wrote, you would know I don't recommend surgery just like I don't recommend conversion/conformity therapy. I think the risk is high with both of them of failure, and possibly creating a worse situation. The point is that is a recommendation, not a decree. Only the individual gets to make the decision. Hopefully when medical treatment such as these is being sought, our medical practitioners can directly and/or through support staff help fully inform the patient of the choices and associated risks. You bring up the issue of trust. To me trust is not built on superficial characteristics, but something earned over time. Yes the superficial characteristics will influence my initial impressions of an individual and they might have a harder time earning my trust. I know when I was young I would have had a hard time accepting someone that was openly homosexual because that was the attitude of society at the time. Now many decades later after getting to know many homosexual people both as friends and colleagues, I have no problems accepting anyone new. Like everyone else it takes time to build trust in an individual, but they don't start out with a disadvantage. I don't see why transgender should be any different. I think far more harm is done by creating outcasts than being accepting. I don't immediately distrust someone because they are transgender, just like I don't immediately trust someone because they are straight.

CF-105 might have been faster than an F-35, but it was nowhere near the SR-71. The CF-105 was close to Mach 2, but the SR-71 was able to do Mach 3.2 (unconfirmed report was at least one sustained flight at Mach 3.5). The CF-105 operated around 50,000 feet, and the SR-71 exceeded 80,000 (6 miles higher). The CF-105 was a good interceptor, but outracing missiles was not in its bag of tricks. The SR-71 was a bomber that operated at high altitude, and when missiles were fired at it they lost most of their fuel just getting to the altitude and couldn't chase it when it accelerated. The CF-105 was fairly agile, the SR-71 was not but what it lacked there it made up for in running away quickly. Very different aircraft for very different purposes. One big issue with the SR-71 was at those speeds it would heat up dramatically and cause significant damage to the aircraft the took a lot of time/money to repair. The big problems would be popped rivets, and delaminated skin plates.
