So, not just illegally segregating the girls, but discriminatory text encouraging violence against women yet MPs are not backing them up on enforcing the law - why is this? I https://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/2019/01/30/muslim-school-will-not-allow-girls-eat-lunch-boys-have-finished/ A Muslim school will not allow girls to eat lunch until after boys have finished, an Ofsted chief has told MPs. Al-Hijrah school in Birmingham is still segregating boys and girls despite a Court of Appeal ruling in 2017 that found it was unlawful, according to Luke Tryl, director of corporate strategy at Ofsted. Addressing the women and equalities select committee, he said that Ofsted inspectors are trying to hold schools account for discriminating against girls but feel “isolated” when their stance is not backed up by ministers. “Our inspectors are going out and having to make some quite tricky judgements where there are those potential clashes [between equalities laws and religious freedoms],” Mr Tryl said. “We perhaps don’t always feel we get the support we need from the rest of Government in pushing that forward.” He said that Al-Hijrah school was enforcing a “very strict gender segregation” which included “denying the girls to have their lunch until the boys had had theirs”. “And we had some very discriminatory texts for instance, encouraging violence against women,” he said

also the Feds are hiring news media truth monitors including a panel led by ex-Toronto Star VP. Funny thing tho, newspapers are exempt from government fact checking.. hmmm https://www.blacklocks.ca/feds-to-hire-truth-monitors/?fbclid=IwAR0TVK6QD0HRyUckgZf1X7rpoTNFdQ1u-M99KHnwDOapD3l91SHyOxLsd2w

The CBC ombudsman tells us that CBC failed to comply with its own journalistic standards on accuracy and impartiality in two stories on climate change. Even the corrections the CBC eventually made 'violated ... principles on correction of errors & honesty' really, I say defund it now, it's just a propaganda arm of the Liberal party. http://www.ombudsman.cbc.radio-canada.ca/_files/documents/Révision 28 jan 19_RCI_ENGLISH23.pdf

The media didn’t wait for facts so obviously not knowing journalism 101 they rushed ahead reporting on nothing but their own bigotry as they judged them, all based on one 10 second video.

The Telegram is a pretty much respected main stream paper, so how does something so egregious happen, do they not fact check anymore or is because the Trump hate overrides responsibility and truth. https://news.yahoo.com/melania-trump-apology-000100176.html

This might help for Canada https://openparliament.ca/ and for the U.S. https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/

There is an accurate summation here of what happened, and yes, no one seems to want to speak out against the Black group which has been classified as a hate group... http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/01/andrew-sullivan-the-abyss-of-hate-versus-hate.html

Closing in on what though... I thought Mueller's investigation was all about Russian Collusion, the arrest of Stone doesn't appear to be about that, it's about asking for emails from wikki leaks... or lying about it. If it's about lying to the FBI, how come they haven't gone after Hillary and the others

Just for the record, the PC MPPs did not vote for that increase, it was set by the Board of Internal Economics on which sits two voting MPPs, one Conservative and one NDP... the NDP member John Vanthof was in agreement saying the increase was necessary due to the higher rental prices in the GTA. Also, It only applies to those legislators who live at least 50 kms from the seat of government in Toronto,. I doubt that Ford will transfer drug costs right onto ordinary seniors, if he does anything, it might be to force a benefit plan to pay the cost first, anything not covered by the benefit plan will be covered by the gov't.

Another trusted and respected main stream paper has had to issue an apology and pay damages, how could such a newspaper get something so wrong and publish without fact checking. I didn't see the original which clearly was a complete fabrication, so question is, how on earth are we to know who to believe these days. British Newspaper Publishes Massive Apology to Melania Trump; Will Pay First Lady ‘Substantial Damages’ and Legal Costs - The Telegraph apologized for numerous false statements about Melania and her family. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/01/26/melania-trump-apology/

That's the problem I have with means tests, because 19K or 32K for couples is not a high income, not even close. They start clawing back the OAP at around $76 K which is a decent amount to live on if retired with no mortgage. However, if two people have to start paying out tens of thousands they would start having problems, so maybe start with charging a co-payment at that amount. The problem with making a company benefit plan responsible for those meds is that it would very likely result in much higher premiums for employer/employee all the way around so it is also likely that the employer would start to cut benefits.

Just curious about a means test, at what income level should seniors have to pay the full pop which can be a huge amount. I don't have a problem with very high income seniors paying so what constitutes a high income.

Of course it was, the whole thing would've been ignored if not for those hats. The kids where not being jerks, they were doing school chants in response to racist slurs hurled at them, kids never do stuff like that do they. The political hatred today is worse than the GWB era, BDS (Bush derangement syndrom) in the age of Trump it is far worse then I think most thought possible, and sure not to the degree it has become. Did any of us even dream that all rules of civility, honesty and integrity would be thrown to the wind to the point of destroying children because of Trump hatred. The terrorist bomb threats to Covington Catholic are a direct result of the media and others who smeared innocent school kids. Nathan Phillips "Chief Shooting Bull" attempted to disrupt Mass at a Catholic Church . “a group of approximately 50 individuals attempted to gain entrance to the basilica while chanting and hitting drums.

They've been obstructing ever since Trump took office, Kavanaugh is one example Obstructing because they really do mean to say “He’s not my president,” Because of that they continually refuse to extend even routine cooperation needed for basic gov't to function properly.

https://thehill.com/homenews/house/425858-house-rejects-gop-measure-to-pay-workers-but-not-open-government From what I've seen the Dem obstructionism is far beyond anything the GOP did, sure both parties do it but the pathological hatred in the age of Trump is far worse then before and certainly to a much higher degree. Did anyone imagine that all rules of civility, honesty and integrity would collapse to the point of destroying children because of Trump hatred.

The Democrats are not a party for the people, their one and only priority is to oppose Trump no matter what. Did you know last week, the House Republicans voted to pay federal employees their 1st paycheck of 2019, despite shutdown but only 6 democrats voted with them, so It failed.

Yea... https://www.thenewneo.com/2019/01/22/the-covington-incident-activism-and-how-to-provoke-and-shape-a-story/ If a longer video hadn’t existed, Phillips would have succeeded in the technique that Professor Jacobson has described, because no one would have believed the students against the word of this righteous Native Elder....

It’s one thing for media and the left to smear Donald Trump and his followers but it truly is breath taking to see the left become completely unhinged savagely harassing /threatening the lives of a bunch of high-school kids on the basis of a couple of unvetted news reports, since proven to be untrue. I guess we shouldn’t be surprised at the feeding frenzy and egregious left wing behaviour which could result in a lawsuit There’s a lot of deleting and scrubbing being done on twitter and FB right now…

Kathy Griffin for starters, other death wishes from left wing journalists, one of whom that I know of has been fired, unhinged leftists spreading fake news (still) and harassing/ threatening a bunch of kids, Phillips who lied about the incident and his service, there are many others, attached is just one tweet of very many who should be ashamed. in general - violent ANTIFAs and a general psychosis or TDS and where are the people denouncing the racist, bigoted 'black Israelites' or the false characterization (read lies ) told by Phillips because I don't see the rabid, die-hard lefties who think that any bad behaviour can be justified if someone wears a red hat. Have to add to this list (there's more but this one) Believe it or not an SNL Writer offered BJ exchange for someone Punching a Covington Catholic Student in the Face .... here you go guys... go for it
