Yes, if they try not to follow them. But someone could say "It's my house. I'll build it any way I want!" There have been fire codes on buildings since The Great Fire of London in 1666. Legal Information Society of Nova Scotia https://www.legalinfo.org › alias=257-land-titles These rights include any lawful use such as: building on the land • developing the land ... These rights are subject to restrictions imposed by laws such as municipal land-use bylaws. So deveoping land would include cutting and clearing the biomass, which is often doen by burning, subject to bylaws It did affect me, but I'm reasonable enough to accept it for a greater good. Not gonna cry 'cause I can't go in the woods for a coupe lof weeks during extreme drought.

Democrats’ Third-World reasoning

Jan. 6: Why are you a$$hole traitors such a$$hole traitors? -
Quote where I mocked faith? I mocked power/money hungry organizations. So cry me a phuckin' river!

Which apparently you're not capable of.

Can you quote where he said that? And what do you mean 'let' them? He doesn't have the power to let them or stop them. And it's more likely that Iran having nukes would lead to the kind of standoff that exist between other nations. I'd be more concerned about North Korea or that Putin's using the nuke threat re Ukraine.

So what's next? Is the Provincial daily burn ban unconstitutional? Do away with the Fire Code for buildings? Is there no instance when the greater good is more important than individual rights? Get ready fore more droughts and more fires. Just pray that your house isn't one of those burned. Selfishness prevails. And the court said it wasn't that they did it. It was how they did it. All this ruling means is that next time the Gov't will do a better job of crossing their Ts and dotting their Is.

So I've read all your 'proof' and citations. Took zero seconds since you have none. So what have we learned about right-wing Christianity so far? No belief in empathy. No belief in mercy. What do you have in common with Christ? You like a glass of Manischewitz now and then?

That's a ridiculous list. Recyling? Doing thingt anybody can do online? Recharging cars?

Defeating the Federal Liberals

I don't suppose you have some proof for that ridiculous blanket statement. -
Christianity 101: All people deserve mercy. To say otherwise is un-Christian. Here's some of mine. Where's yours? (There are many kinds of meditation. Mantras are only part of some of them. Mantras are also a big part of prayer.) AI: Scientific studies show that meditation, particularly mindfulness, induces structural and functional brain changes (neuroplasticity) that reduce stress, anxiety, and depression while improving attention, memory, and emotional regulation. Research indicates it lowers cortisol, decreases amygdala reactivity, and improves connectivity in brain regions linked to focus and emotional stability. https://www.apa.org/topics/mindfulness/meditation "Researchers reviewed more than 200 studies of mindfulness among healthy people and found mindfulness-based therapy was especially effective for reducing stress, anxiety, and depression. Mindfulness can also help treat people with specific problems including depression, pain, smoking, and addictionopens in new window. Some of the most promising research has looked at people with depression. Several studies have found, for example, that MBCT can significantly reduce relapseopens in new window in people who have had previous episodes of major depression. What’s more, mindfulness-based interventions can improve physical health too. For example, mindfulness may reduce pain, fatigue, and stress in people with chronic pain. Other studies have found preliminary evidence that mindfulness might boost the immune system and help people recover more quickly from cold or flu. Harvard Gazette +7 https://med.stanford.edu/content/dam/sm/pain/documents/meditation-facts.pdf Many more that you can look up your self. There are things prayer and meditation have in common (apart from the fact that a lot of prayer is meditation): The big money being made by by the Church and those making millions off the 'Mindfulness' industry. But the Church wins that contest hands down.

You should go back and look at the 'Celtic Tiger' economy and how and why that crashed. Nothing like Canada.

Compared to Republicans? https://www.huffpost.com/entry/latest-news-live-updates_n_69dcb4aae4b00247ba9c0bc9 "A Jan. 6 rioter, who was pardoned by President Donald Trump, will plead guilty to federal charges in a child exploitation case involving multiple victims, according to court documents. According to court documents, in 2015 and 2016, Daniel enticed a minor under the age of 12 “to engage in sexually explicit conduct” for the purpose of producing “a visual depiction” of the conduct, among other allegations." AI: "At least 33 individuals who were part of the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack have been re-arrested, charged, or sentenced for new crimes. Nature of Charges: The new charges against these individuals are serious and include child molestation, assault, harassment, aggravated kidnapping, and murder plots."

I assume you're talking about the Republicans. -
A little relief at the pumps for a while.
Barquentine replied to John Johnston's topic in Provincial Politics in Canada
We are and will. Inflation and price gouging have a lot to do with that. -
So you have no proof. A lot of 'prayer' is just selfishness: "Oh, big man in the sky, let me win a lottery.' 'Oh, Giant Invisibleness, cure my cancer." In those cases a lot of people are disappointed and therefore worse off for 'praying'. Pete Hegseth's prayers are actually evil. "Give them... overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy." A lot of prayer is really meditation, repeating learned prayers. Meditation actually clears the mind of desires and stress, thereby focusing and sharpening the mind.

What did Prince say? "Maybe you're just like my mother, she's never satisfied." The consumer carbon tax was eliminated effective April 1, 2025. 10 cents isn't much but every bit helps. -

Alan Dershowitz is a Trump lackey who even thinks Trump should have a third term. Talk about bias!
