Sadly, this is true, I do know one of the 4 of the other types of Muslims though.The 26% that says both. He is cool. I don't like religious zealots of any persuasion.

Please don't quote vox and cnn as reputable sources when it comes to Trump please, they've proven themselves quite slanted and biased and incapable of objective reporting.

If even a quarter of those are partially true, and they are, it shows how subverted and corrupt American politics is. Canadian politics is close but luckily we have more strict regulations to ignore.

Nope, she isn't leadership material. The Conservative Party is the same as the Liberals when it comes to selling out Canada. Rona Ambrose is on the porkbarrel.

Supply management protects our farmers from getting OPECed by large agro-corporations. There is lots wrong with GMOs.

yeah i'd use stevia over aspartame based sweeteners or splenda (discovered from trying to develop fertilizer)

i'll never eat there again after this, Mr. Sub my business is yours

It's not "lefties" it's neocons and neolibs that drank the post-modernist koolaid and are burning down all that every Canadian before them worked to create for personal profit. But now I'm straying OT so I'll put a sock in it.

Cool story, your nostalgia has contributed absolutely nothing to the conversation at hand though.

Incentive is key. I like both of the above ideas although I would adapt them both. You can't force people to see their doctors. It's very difficult even finding a family doctor where I live. How then to implement? 1) Make it a program to opt into, therefore only the healthy people that benefit from the incentive will opt-in. Thereby defeating the purpose. 2) Force all Canadians to get a physical within 3 months of doing their taxes. This will be labelled as draconian and fought tooth and nail by conservatives and liberals alike. Many people have a healthy fear/irrational phobia of hospitals/doctors as well. During the physical, the doctor will provide you with nutritional literature and sign a form stating your overall BMI/general health. 3) Tax the worst culprits, fast food and products with high HFCS. The corn lobby will freak the fuck out and conservatives will lament another "useless" tax. Fast food is big money. As is coffee. This won't go over well. 4) Subsidize farmers (dairy) into growing more fresh local non GMOproduce. Provide a framework for distribution for all Canadians, rural and urban. Don't waste money on ad campaigns and information because unhealthy people will ignore it anyways. 5) Incentivize food processors to use/reduce HFCS in their products. Look at coke stevia for example. Or mexican coke that still uses cane sugar and is super delicious. 6) Genetic testing in children to identify markers to predict at-risk individuals. None of these alone is enough to effect lasting change on enough Canadians to make a difference but a combination of some/all of them could have a noticeable effect.

Appeasement doesn't work against destructive forces.

Unfortunately, this is one of the few non-discriminatory ways to get unhealthy poors to eat/drink better. I'm for it. I'm also against unlimited health care for people whose BMI is in the upper/lower 10th percentiles. Unless of course, there is a legitimate medical reason. And big-boned doesn't count. I've definitely reduced the amount I smoke cigarettes because of the price.

I'm not even going to dignify that with an answer.

As well as a complete overwhelming of our social structures and eradication of Canadian culture, quite the price to pay so rich jerkoffs can do business without borders.

Lol at him leaking his 1040 and then that Maddow guy pulling a Geraldo Rivera
