There were swastikas painted on a synagogue in Ottawa back in November. Can you show me where that became international news. b.t.w. there is a hierarchy, and words of a nutjob are at the bottom. Vandalism is higher, violence still higher.

The Irish economy is doing good, and they have been steadily lowering unemployment as well. Don't be fooled however by the heavily skewed GDP numbers due to corporate inversions. Government debt (total public debt) is roughly equivalent to Canada (%GDP), and their current year deficit will be equivalent to about a $16 billion Canadian deficit.

Except she didn't only win the popular vote in California, but don't let real facts get in the way of your fiction. Stop fabricating stories that she lost in 49 states, because that is far, far from the truth.

Did I say that? Not even close, but that doesn't stop you from twisting my words to create your own narrative. I said it is not news, especially not international news. The world is full of nutjobs saying stupid things, many far more stupid and offensive than this guy. Are they of concern, yes. Are they international news, not by a country mile.

My perpetual motion machine is even better.

Don't worry, Democrats will survive. After 4 years the deplorables will be in far worse shape then they are today, the only problem is they will be too stupid to realize why.

Attacked? You consider a nutjob making some stupid statement an attack? This isn't like burning down a black church, or going on a shooting spree in one.

His deficit was supposedly about the stimulus program, something that he adamantly stated had a 24 month timeframe and then would be cut back to nothing. So yes, it should have instantly been cut back. The point is that Conservatives are fiscally incompetent.

It's not like Harper didn't control the purse strings. It's not like Harper didn't decide to waste the money on his brain-dead shovel ready projects. ... and especially I love it how you claim superior knowledge but conveniently forget that Harper ran massive deficits for years, way beyond the 2 year stimulus program, and long after he got his coveted majority.

Perhaps because it is not news. If the press carried every statement by every nutjob, we would have to have 6.9 billion news channels.

Sheen is a washed up two-bit drug addict, who cares what he twits. We should be talking about Trump's campaign advisor (Carl Paladino) who wants Obama to die from mad-cow disease. I don't see anybody supporting Sheen, but the idiot Trump takes advise from Paladino.

Canadians said a big no to the Harper bigotry of so called "Canadian values", we saw that it was just a front for the Northern Foundation.

Such depressing insight, your prediction that Trudeau will only do half the damage of Harper is indeed sad.

1 out of 3 isn't bad, you are correct I am not over 100 years old.

While organics are labelled and GMOs are not, of course we can't tell if GMOs are causing issues because big Frankfood won't let us know when they are forcing their stuff down our throats.

Sorry, but being an informed consumer trumps their profits. They are exactly trying to hide, and that is unacceptable. They can base their sales on truth, and not trying to push their product down my throat without my knowledge.

No exactly the opposite. The money is being spent by Monsanto to obfuscate what is included. Get rid of that and the cost goes down. Direct manipulation of DNA is a very specific modification, not at all comparable to any of the others. As I stated many times already I would like to see better labeling all around, but we don't have detailed history for the thousands of years that humans have been farming. We do however have the details for genetic modification, it is the companies themselves that insist on that so they can fill their pocketbook. Why are they trying to hide what they already know?

I looked at what he did. Every single thing he did was pitting one segment of Canadians against another. East vs West, Rural vs Urban, Old stock vs Muslim. etc. He thrived on creating classes of people and portraying some as good and some as bad so he could get his way.

Yes they are. Put the label on the food and then we have transparency. Spending millions to hide the fact and you lose all credibility.

Genetically modified organism are the food itself, not at all similar to if the farmer had solar panels. I might want to know that as well, but I agree the government does not need to be involved there. The fact that the food itself is modified is however relevant, and the government should mandate that labelling. Look at how food is marketed, is the chemical makeup the most important factor? No, it is way, way, way, way, way down on the list. Things like taste, texture, colour, blemish free, etc. rank much higher. Why does Monsanto want to hide what they are doing from the consumer? They know exactly what food is modified because they collect their tax from it, but then they spend millions and millions to hide it from the consumer. This is not credible behaviour.

There are no parallels, despite your desperate attempt to pretend there is one. All I am asking for is information - period. I am not arguing against GMO foods, I am asking to be told what I am consuming. If a vaccine was pushed into the population through covert means, then I would argue that it should be exposed. That doesn`t make me against the vaccine, just wanting to be able to make an informed choice. I don`t want a company or government forcing me to take a vaccine through the air I breathe, the food I eat, etc.

We are so far from what the founding fathers created. There was no stipulation on how the electoral college would vote, but we have the fanatics of today demanding that. We also have Donald Trump arguing against the electoral college both in 2012 and before the current election, but now that he wants to benefit from it he has changed his tune 100%. This would all have been a non-issue if Trump didn`t act like the little child he is beforehand.

They are a well funded group of marketeers that want to force their technology down our throats without our consent. Nothing more demonizing than calling people who seek the truth luddites and irrational. We want to know what we are eating, and Monsanto is trying to hide that.

The GMO strains are well known, right up to the point companies like Monsanto collect their tax. Then they spend millions of dollars more to hide the fact. Why are they costing us more money to hide what they are doing?

I already said, the more complete the labeling the better. While we don`t have complete records of all selective breeding that has occurred over thousands of years we do have 100% complete and accurate information for GMO foods (because the GMO companies demand it in order to collect their tax). Lets put what details are practical on labels.
