Its funny most people worry about nukes and terrorists, it might be a bug that wipes us all out. However stay calm. Think about it. If there was an infectious epidemic, Kim Kardashian or Lady Gaga would have spread it by now.

Interesting points Sagacious. In my personal opinion I think education costs soared because we chose in the late 60's to remove persons from medical institutions and decide instead to transfer and treat them in our education institutions causing the increase in expenses. That originated in the 60's civil rights era where "mental illness" was challenged as a concept and it was argued people were not mentally ill, society was based on the beliefs of "experts" such as Thomas Szasz. This approach felt mainstreaming persons with "autism", "physical" and "mental" limitations into the school system was the way to go. So the expenses soared as we now need teaching assistants, public funding of specialized transport and other special education related expenses paid for because of these added needs. On top of that one must remember in Ontario in the Greater Toronto area, there are large segments of schools where the students do NOT speak English as children coming through the regular immigration process, refugee process, or illegally come into the elementary and secondary schools and do not have to speak English on entry to Canada. That mix presents special challenges and expenses. So this idea we could and canuse public education systems as a catch 22 centralized institution of service for all these language and non education related needs was and remains the cause of the soaring expenses. As well now parents are used to this high standard of service and became dependent on it, suggesting it may have to be limited causes extreme reaction. Unions use that fear as a tool to justify building their education empire. That is what Ford and any other politician is grappling with. Someone like Kathlyn Wynne was a symptom of the problem the current government and future governments of any ideology will now inherit. She was part of the generation of education empire builders who believed and still believe schools should be given an unlimited access to funding for an unlimited number of roles. This is a left over belief system from baby boomers of the 60's who were brought up to believe there were no limitations to anything whether it be potential, behaviour, benefits, costs, expenses, services. It was a generation of entitlement and indulgence and for many it prevails. In the past institutions did implement cruel and inhumane treatment..., but those cruel and inhumane treatments have been disposed of. So the question we now must revisit is this -is it possible now, with the advances we have made with treatments, centralization of those treatments in specialized institutions makes not just more financial sense but more clinical treatment sense. Until we tackle that issue we are not getting at the true root and cause of the soaring expenses I would argue.

In your own paranoid way you do make an interesting point in that a "pandemic" would be an excellent way to false flag a police action...but I mean where do we go with that? It sounds familiar. I used to have such thoughts when I smoked dope and that is was in the prehistoric era when it was mild. I am inclined to think there is no need to do that as the cellphone has already tranquilized the masses into complete obedience if not Kanye West.

Well do not blame me. I had matches and a can of gasoline, tar, feathers, rope, but there was a line up with other Canadians to see who would get toJustin first and being Canadian we were so damn polite we could not agree so we all went and watched a curling match to discuss it further and drank some double doubles from Timmy's and forgot. Curling has that effect. It is an amazing sport. People can be fat and smoke right in the middle of the match. Shuffleboard on ice man. Who the hell needs men with tight pants sticking their hand up each other's butt and screaming "hutt hutt hutt" (this guy Hutt seemed to have made a lasing impression) and "huddling" and tapping each other's butts like you Yanks. You Yanks are very girly. Its no wonder you elected Trump.* *all comments were cleared with the Canadian Film Board and passed the KD Lang test of sarcasm

Hey Proud I edited my answer a bit to you. Its not meant to be know it all. I am just debating you. I cut out some snippiness. I am just trying to sound a little tongue in cheek.

How do you know anyone hates Ms. Sweetie Poo simply because she is black? You assume that. She is in fact getting the same treatment as Wallis Simpson once did. You might want to try find out what happened to Wallis and the former King Eddy who abdicated to be with his sweety poo. That abdication then impacted directly on Liz Windsor leaving her with deep emotional wounds caused by that abdication and what it did to her life not to mention the same for the collective psyche of all of Britain that still remains and has been triggered by this latest version of abdication. I would suggest the parallels in behaviour between Harry and Sweetie Poo and Eddy and Wallis t have triggered bad memories for the British explaining the reaction. You see what you see because you probably have no clue who Eddy and Wallis were and what they did. Next how can there be a double standard with Meaghan sweety poo if in fact you think someone is only upset with Sweetie Poo because she's black? No one has accused her of being a pedophile like you seem to think they have with Andrew... and once we are at it...even if Andy was/is attracted to young teens that would not be pedophilia it would be hebephilia but more to the point no one really has accused Andrew of a sexual philia .What they have done is criticize his sexual behaviour and in particular his associating with a pimp (the same Epstein pimp who ran a "modelling agency" that not only provided a 17 year old escort for Andy but Melania Trump and Meaghan Markle. Oh but the world is a small place when it comes to celebrity penises and where they park themselves. No one has used a double standard on Meaghan or Andrew with anyone-Andy's penis has been hung out to dry because he embarrassed the monarchy with his idiot behaviour. Flap one's penis about in a public manner one is bound to titillate the paparazzi. This is why I for example I pin mine up. Discretion is the better part of valour. One must be careful who they expose themselves to. At least that is what my urologist says..but I digress. If there is any double standard it is the press not pursuing the connections of Melania Trump and Meaghan Markle to Epstein's "modelling agency" and how that agency was a high priced escort agency serving he elite and how the money he was paid by these elite for their penis parking privileges was laundered creating the appearance of Epstein being an "investor". Hey now. Epstein "committed suicide", Andy is being hidden, none one has followed up on the connection of Melania and Meaghan to Epstein's agency and you think Meaghan is a victim of racism? Lol. In Prince Harry the Light Bulb's current situation he has been criticized for his trying to sell out the monarchy brand for his own personal use and embarrassing the Queen as he did in public with his childish self indulgent press release and to a woman whose father had to take over and clean up the mess of another self indulgent twit. Harry (the latest version of Edward) and Sweety Poo (the latest version of Wallis Simpson) have been called out because they wanted to manipulate the press to ciltivate a fan base for their brand name and it back-fired. In fact they were called out by the press for trying to whore out the Royal brand and putting self before country something you clearly do not understand and Di clearly did not understand as they repeat her mistake. If a Royal family member whore out the monarchy for their own personal benefit, the press will turn on them like vultures to road kill. That is what happened to Di. Like harry and Meaghan, she believed in her hype mistaking it as love. She played the press when she thought they loved her just as Harry and Meaghan did.. When its coverage was favourable Di just like Harry and Sweetie Poo were quite happy feeding it stories. When it was negative she sulked as they do now. Di started the negative press when she chose to go public with her intimate details. Once she did that any distance from her due to deference (respect for her privacy) was thrown away forever. You can't have it both ways. You can't use the press to air your dirty laundry to get revenge on Prince Chuck of Big Ears and not have the press turn on you when you sit around exposed on a yacht with a rich boy who never worked and whose father told Prince Philip "since I can not get British citizenship and peerage, I will have my blood connection through my son". Di's future father in law sealed her death sentence. Harry has sealed his fate when he chose to show his dirty laundry in public and insult the Queen with his childish abdication letter. He could have done it in private. He chose to do it in public. Meaghan also chose to try manipulate the press. When at first her press was positive not even three months into her dating she had hired public relations and intellectual property lawyers planning marketing schemes to brand the Harry-Meaghan marriage for person financial use. That is what turned the press on the two. They put their own financial and person needs before the country's. Andy's wife, Fergy also chose in public to have her toes sucked. Soon after her mother's head was decapitated in a horse riding accident in Argentina and now she herself is under house arrest. This has nothing to do with skin colour and everything to do with protecting the reputation of the monarchy. If the monarchy feels the son of Harry is in any way endangered by the behaviour of Meaghan she is dead. It could be choking on an apricot pit, having an untimely slip and fall, car accident, sudden onset of a rare form of cancer. Ah the choices are infinite in creative possibility. She opened that door not the press. Charles has been treated as harshly if not more harshly than Harry and sweety poo. He will forever be remembered for his love note to Camilla Parker Bowels Syndrome in which he referred to himself as a tampon. He will always be known as His Royal Highness King Tampon the First. The fact he has chosen as his second wife someone who many believe is David Bowie in drag (no he did not die) and looks like her last name has not helped. However the press does show Chuck respect when he puts country before his penis in other matters. Now that Andrew put penis before country he was skewered by the press. Harry the same. Harry has put his penis before country. Do that when you are a monarch the press will cut it off or try to. Its called putting you back in your place. In Britain its all about one's place...there is a time and place for everyone and thing including even the Queen herself. Everyone must know their role from top to the bottom. Put the state first as Princess Anne and Queen Liz or Prince Phil have always done, the press treats you with respect and therefore the distance which comes from that respect no matter how offensive you might be. I mean you want to talk "bigot" talk Prince Phil although his bigotry would be against anyone and everyone equally based on your perceived class standing not just your slitty eyes as he once referred to Chinese students. (ah what do you expect from a Greek boy) In summary Ms. Markle Sweetie poo is triggering the same reaction Wallis Simpson once did and Ms. Simpson was as white as they get.

Yah that is how I got my big break but then you get typecast real fast. When I auditioned for the Waltons as John Boy they laughed me off.

You sound a tad melodramatic, particularly with this statement: " When the same people are now telling you, that you don't have a right to be in love with this woman "Meghan"?" Give moi a break. You really think the press have told Harry who he should be in love with? Lol. The press knows Harry thinks with his penis. That is not the issue This isn't about who Harry Phacks, its about who Meghan has tried to phack and that is Liz Windsor. Meghan thought she would cash in off the Royal brand for her own career. She still thinks she will. She had market firms and lawyers working on branding her name off the Royal name as soon as she started dating Harry. Eventually even someone as intellectually delayed as his Royal Snotface, Harry of Mucus, will catch on he's just another Hollywood cuckhold in the land of herpes. By the way not that you noticed, millions of people have had parents or loved ones die in horrible circumstances. They don't or won't have the chances or inherited advantages Harry has so get a grip on the victim story. Only gonna be one person standing when this is over, and it won't be sweetie poo. God bless the Queen. The Queen of England

Me worry about your gun obsession? Me no think so. Me obsessed only with mine prostate...or Shakira. Puhleez

Hey hey watch it now-no need to get so insulting. You know how sensitive I am.. Here's some stats/info on the turnouts for Prez elections: http://www.electproject.org/home/voter-turnout/cps-methodology https://www.statista.com/statistics/262915/voter-turnout-in-the-us-presidential-elections/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2016/11/10/even-in-a-historic-election-americans-dont-vote-as-much-as-those-from-other-nations/ Federally you might get me to agree as many as 60% vote but it lowers with state and municipal turn outs and some states have much higher turn outs than other states. As for Americans not knowing their own constitution: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1368482/How-ignorant-Americans-An-alarming-number-U-S-citizens-dont-know-basic-facts-country.html (aboive shows 70% don't know about their own constitution) https://townhall.com/tipsheet/micahrate/2017/09/12/draft-n2380288 https://hub.jhu.edu/2018/12/14/americans-dont-understand-state-government/ Regards, Bernard Saunders

Yah you can kill each other off yahoo! You are weird BC. You probably have this thing for Smith & Wesson – 629's. None of my business though. God bless your pistols.

Of course it was about a blowjob. As for sexual harassment you really want to go there? Really? Lol. Man you guys are something else. Look your boys prevented an impeachment. Your boys started by arguing he did not do what he was accused of doing. Then they changed their tune and said, well yah he did do what we said he did not do but he could do what we said he never did and now admit he did cuz he has executive privilege. Yah we all got it. Executive privilege means a Prez can operate in a vacuum. He need not worry about acting in a conflicted manner. He need not worry about operating without ethics or morality. He can do whatever he wants and he does so because he believes everyone else is as slimy as he is. Two wrongs made a right for him being a large stain on the US democratic principles. Got it. A stain is ok if the shit stain is a Presidential shit stain. The President's shit is privileged. Got it. Go change his privileged diaper will yah please. It smells.

Yah for sure a consensual blow job is a serious crime, asking a foreign country to investigate someone running against you for office is not. I find your reasoning hard to swallow.

In response to your first comment: https://www.ccn.com/relax-coronavirus-is-less-dangerous-than-the-flu-says-epidemic-expert/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2020/02/01/coronavirus-flu-deadlier-more-widespread-than-wuhan-china-virus/4632508002/ https://www.marketwatch.com/story/for-now-the-flu-is-a-bigger-risk-than-coronavirus-2020-01-30 In regards to your second comment: Depends...have you just come from Wuhan and/or have you just eaten garlic or had a job interview?

The half time show was more important than the Super Bowl. 42 year old Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll and 50 year old Jennifer Lynn Lopez were the real match up. Lebanese Columbian v. Puerto Rican hip movement. Based solely on last night's performance I give Shakira a 10 and JLo an 8. J Lo looked a little inflexible. Not as much fluid transition to her moves. However in the overall battle of the Latinas you should consider this: I would caution you both are agents of the Satan illuminati agenda: https://illuminatiwatcher.com/super-bowl-liv-halftime-show-illuminati-symbolism-shakira-the-scarlet-woman/

Most Americans have no clue about how their government works and don't vote. That explains why the political arena can operate in such a vacuum of moral and ethical propriety-no one is holding its politicians accountable for their behaviour. Republican Senators felt no pressure to act according to their sworn duties because they feel their constituents don't care what they do. Apathy breeds lack of accountability and that then leads to dictatorships as history has taught us this over and over again. Americans do have a vote. They do have the power to throw both Trump and Republican Senators out if they want. If they don't exercise their vote to do that they have no one but themselves to blame. In the interim I think Canada should interview Americans coming to Canada and not allow in those who support Trump as their views are not compatible with Western views as to democracy, I also think we should deport all Americans now in our country. You can't be too careful.

Imagine that? No. However you clearly seem to be imagine that a blow job is the equivalent to engaging in a conflict of interest and asking a foreign government to investigate your political foe and the processes of both impeachments were the same. In regards to whether the processes were the same here is analysis of the two: https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/news/2020/01/24/trump-impeachment-clinton-compare-partisan-divide-difference/4547459002/ Based on the above there are as anyone can see very clear differences. As well since you addressed the issue its interesting you have no issues with Ken Starr's about face: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/jan/27/kenneth-starr-trump-impeachment-trial Finally does the following sound like the Trump impeachment process?: "During Clinton’s impeachment trial, senators ultimately heard video excerpts from three witnesses, including Monica Lewinsky, who were subpoenaed to appear for taped off-site depositions. Vernon Jordan Jr. and Sidney Blumenthal had also testified. However, during impeachment proceedings against Clinton in the House of Representatives, Republicans had access to testimony from other interviews collected by then-special counsel Ken Starr. Clinton also provided more than 90,000 pages of documents and other information ahead of his trial, according to a Clinton White House response to a referral from the Office of Independent Counsel. By contrast, the Trump White House have not provided documents or complied with subpoenas for more than 70 records, the House wrote in its impeachment inquiry report." cite:https://time.com/5768920/trump-impeachment-trial-rules/

Good question. A lot has to do with the "news cycle". If its a slow week, this kind of issue gets a push. Take a look how the cycle works. You see how for 2-4 weeks it was harry Harry Harry. At one point it was kim korea. Not too long ago it was missiles and Iran. It appears media works in 2-4 week cycles focusing on one lead story and then they get bored with it and move on to the next lead story. I suppose one could get conspiratorial about these news cycles. It sure bumped off the front story the Trump impeachment, the Brexit, Harry and Andy. Some people see these stories as manipulated agendas to distract from others , others say no its coincidence but our media does tend to run with one lead story saturate its release, then move on and the cycle now seems two weeks. All I can say is disease as a story especially if its contagious is always a good "shock and get your attention" story because most people are ignorant of the pathogens for disease and are easily frightened and will read news stories like bait to fish in a sort of group hysteria. This flu is not the end of the world and is proving in terms of flu capable of being treated. In any flu, people with pre-existing immunity compromise could die from it but the vast majority do not. Many think as soon as they get it, they will die. That is not the case. The ones who die have pre-existing vulnerabilities that strip them of their ability to fight an infection such as cancer, aids, medication for organ transplants, cpd (chronic lung diseases), diabetes, advanced heart disease, other illnesses or the aged or the very young. However most people assume once you catch it you are dead. Thus the fears people have. I am more frightened of the diseases the Kardashian sisters spread.

Four people already came and didn't spread anything and did not die. Breath.

My mother came from Shanghai (but would in your reference be defined as someone of Western or European values) and cost the government zero. I appreciate why you asked the question. I did not take it the wrong way. I got you. I got your point too. With that reference, and so based only on my subjective anecdotal observation of my mother's success, I can only say her having an occupational skill Canada needed and language skills as well as a strong work ethic were the 3 factors to success .( that and of course having such a wonderful son who never gave her a problem ever and inspired her to greatness) (shut up that was a joke) So based on that which I knew you already knew, what I am saying is those qualities are universal qualities and so I would argue they could exist or be lacking in literally anyone not just Europeans. You also know the eligibility criteria is based on points based on verified transferable education, needed skills and of course language skills. It does get more lenient with language skills for trade workers compared to skilled professional workers as the level of language does not have to be as complex but still be fluent. It does expedite entry for people who invest 2 million in Canadian ventures. You can buy your way into Canada with no education if you can show a net worth of 50 million and invest 2 million in the country or with an education have a net work of 10 million and invest 2 million in the country. Otherwise it has a points system trying to screen eligibility based on education, skills and language. It tries to do that. None of that applies to refugees. I fully agree our current system can NOT accurately predict someone has proper work and ethical values which is what you are really getting at. We debate this but we agree a person who works hard, follows the laws, helps contribute to the tax basin and economy is not the issue. The issue comes with people who want to live off the state or come to Canada and be intolerant to others with their values but demand tolerance in return using our multi-cultural policies or concept of human rights to do that. I get all that. I do. I just think these are complex issues. Not because I am politically correct-in fact and odor I am a rude smelly old man.... but because I think human behavior is complex and the methods we use now to assess human behavior all are imperfect. Do I personally think someone from Britain would have an easier time assimilating in Canada then an itinerant shepherd from Afghanistan, probably. I would guess that but I would not necessarily build that assumption into an eligibility requirement for this reason and caution- just because the person is from Britain doesn't mean they won't end up a criminal, a bum, a shmuck and just because that goat herder has an attraction to kids (baby goats) doesn't mean they can't end up doing something good in Canada. All I am saying is we have to look a little bit further than these assumptions which I do not necessarily disagree with but on the other hand can not accept as absolutes. That said I continue to argue with refugees, they are expensive short term to settle, yes but not if they are privately sponsored. Private sponsors pay their expenses, teach them the language and social skills they will need and give them work and serve as their mentors until they successfully assimilate. With other refugees I have argued we are not properly supporting them once making them Canadian citizens. We are not properly assessing their psychiatric, medical and education limitations and so setting many up for failure as they have no transferable language, social, or work skills (life skills) which traps them into cycles of repeating poverty and dependence on provincial social benefits. I am also arguing I now believe our government knows when refugee claimants are rejected we do not deport them forcing them to go into a twilight zone of no rights where now they can be exploited as cheap labour below minimum wage. Our government knows this. In the name of Liberal compassion it is creating cheap illegal labour for Canadian businesses. It also is creating a first generation of dependent refugees with major adjustment issues by not having a program that provides an incubation period prior to coming to Canada to teach them language and life skills. This is why I argue the current refugee system should be scrapped and we have two replacement systems, one private which is not broke and works and another where we spend our money now being spent on the current system to provide instead education, shelter, medical services and fresh water to refugee camps and from those camps choose certain candidates to be prepared for coming to Canada and matching them up to the private sponsors. This way we help the private sponsors and we help refugees and we no longer have a loophole for persons coming to Canada to leap frog the immigration system. As for your wanting to screen people to have the right values, short of assuring they have work life and language skills I am all ears but simply asking people if they like beards but mo mustaches probably won't work.

No one is going to die unless its from laughing at him. Relax MG. Trudeau is an infectious disease and the best way to stop his spread is to challenge him once, then laugh.. Challenge his idiotic statements but then laugh. Laughing is the cure to the symptoms he causes..... that or immodium.

Get real. Your assumption is based on ridiculous stereotyping. Why stop there. Boycott all Chinese businesses and do not buy anything Chinese and stop interacting with Chinese all together. Why stop there, put them all in isolation camps. Give it a rest with the yellow fever hysteria.

I would opine it is illogical to suggest people who wear masks are racist considering many who do are in fact Asian. I would then suggest that masks are a response from people afraid of catching a disease not knowing the mask is not going to stop the spread of the disease. Hand washing, practicing proper hygiene will. Yes the food practices in China are a direct cause of many of these outbreaks. Also with the over-use of anti-biotics, we have created strains of disease resistant to it now.

Lol. Ask him what a Jewish Nazi is.
