So what do you have to say about Sweden then, where their victim studies consistently show about 20 point higher reporting to police?

That is not an answer. You are quick to come up with costs, but unwilling to substantiate them and unwilling to look at the other side.

Why is not the private enterprise Sabre taking care of its employees? That is the problem with capitalism, the private sector screws up and the public sector is expected to bail them out time and time and time and time and time again. It doesn't matter where you go or if it is people, the environment, or anything else. The private sector never takes care of their duty and the taxpayer is always expected to step in and cover for them. This is why taxes to corporations need to be hiked big time.

Just to add to the science behind where the heat comes from. There are many sources of heat, some of them come from the earth and others from the sun. The solar heat will melt the snow from the previous winter and then begin warming the ground. If there is not enough heat during the summer to melt all the snow then a glacier will form. If all the snow melts and the ground starts to warm then seeds can germinate and grow. It is all about balance. If the summers are warmer then the ground will warm up deeper, and if the winters are colder than then ground will freeze deeper (and colder). Snow acts as an insulating layer and reduces the speed that the ground loses heat during the winter, the compacted snow or ice doesn't insulate as well. There is another source of heat that needs to be taken into account, and that is the heat from inside the earth. The three main sources of this heat are the primordial heat left over from when the earth was formed, friction from the flow of the liquid and solid parts of the inner core, and radioactive decay from uranium and thorium (and other less abundant elements). The outer rock layer of the earth both retains and very slowly conducts heat. If the heat is more quickly removed during the winter near the surface then it is replaced during the summer then it will maintain a sub freezing temperature. If it is well insulated, then sub surface heat will slowly conduct up and warm it. The rock a few feet blow the surface might be colder in parts of the arctic that experience a summer melt than it would be under a glacier.

The riding association is composed of people living in that riding, the people are different by definition.

Unless you provide equally well defined numbers on how much revenue those thousands of refugees add to the economy, then your one sided equation is completely, 100% irrelevant. Next you should look at the investment that future generations will return since our economic model is built on population growth.

Yes, that is exactly what I am suggesting. The riding associations are different in each riding, there is no standard.

No, it does not. It says that violent crime is 31% lower than it was in 2005, and that it is the first increase since 2003.

I believe the only potentially viable DNA they are using at the moment comes from a recently discovered mammoth named buttercup. If they are able to successfully clone it, and gestate through a surrogate mother (probably elephant), I assume only female offspring would result. They would need to find a viable male in order to get the Y chromosome. Preferably many more to ensure adequate diversity in genetic makeup. Rumor has it that someone knows. Buttercup was very well preserved, with much of the body intact and even blood thawed and flowed. Apparently someone did taste the meat, although I haven't found any description of taste. While it may not have dried out as quickly as something would in your kitchen freezer, I imagine that there would be some significant "freezer burn" after a few thousand years. The other answer is of course: like chicken

The theory is the mammoths stampeding around will compact the snow layer, reducing the insulation ability of the snow. This means that during the winter, the ground will cool off faster and help maintain a lower ground temperature thus preserving the permafrost. This all stems from the soviet era researcher, Sergey Zimov. In his case they were using muskox, bison, reindeer, moose, etc. They has enclosed them in a large area and used temperature probes to measure ground temperature and saw that it lowered faster and colder during the winter months than that outside the fenced off area, helping to preserve the permafrost. I believe the theory is that the mammoths are able to trample more and be sustained by the grasslands better than other animals. Note that mammoths have only been extinct for several thousand years, and they believe that over hunting by man caused their extinction; another contributor to man made global warming.

What does you example have to do with anything. You are talking about someone who was traveling on an illegally obtained Canadian passport. Someone who was able to get by both Canadian and American immigration officials.

Are we suggesting that the party accept anyone? The riding association made the final choice, but there still needs to be acceptance by the party or else it is not a party. Whining about nothing.

Average surface temperature on Pluto is 44 Kelvin

What about the many citizens of Iran in Canada, Europe and elsewhere that travel frequently to the US? There are many people in technical and management positions across many industries that travel to the US for training, sales activities, conferences, joint projects, etc. This travel ban is dumb a$$ stupid.

Can you give examples of citizens of Iran involved in terrorist activities in the US? Most of those from Iran that I know are high educated and fit very well into North American culture and economy. No matter if they are Muslim or not, they don't want to be in Iran because they don't support the regime there.

While that might be true for country with very new and developing government like Somalia, how could that apply to Iran which is highly developed?

I think that murdering 100% of humanity except for 8 people is very bloody mindedness.

The BC liberals are right wing

Not according to US President Donald Trump when he stated emphatically "I love Wikileaks".

Right wing party has been in power 85% of last decade 45% of last 2 decades 65% of last 3 decades 60% of last 4 decades I guess any 'leftist' is too much for you.

Why did you start a new topic when this has already been discussed?

I'm unfamiliar with the term peakbit, but what I think you are talking about is moving undiluted bitumen which needs to be heated in order to flow at any substantial rate. Now that will require considerable energy to both fill and empty the containers but it does provide better protection in the case of an accident along the way. I wouldn't say there is no risk of environmental damage, but certainly cleanup should be easier. There might be a case made for modified shipping containers (e.g. top load/unload) to enable the transport all the way from the oilsands to the refinery, not just by rail but also by sea. It would have the added benefit of leveraging existing transportation infrastructure. I am making the assumption that these containers would also float in the case of an accident at sea, I believe that undiluted bitumen is slightly less dense than water but I'm not sure if that makes up for the iron that would encase it.

I am not one to interpret scripture, I am still struggling with 1 Corinthians 6 and 1 Corinthians 7. Now it is true that those do not address the issue of polygamy, but you must acknowledge that many goodly Biblical figures like Esau who took Judith and Bashemath as wives and then when he wanted more variety added Mahalath to the harem. Then there is Elkanah, and one cannot forget Solomon who had hundreds of wives, even Moses had many wives Zipporah and the daughter of Hobab and some Ethiopian woman. Of course the Christians will argue that church leaders shall only have one wife but that does not address others. Modern day Christian polygamists have even found ways around the words of Jesus for more than just sleeping around.

That's not what you said earlier
