      scribblet, they didn't campaign off the backs of veterans, really!? That's pretty myopic of you.

      I disapprove of this now and I disapproved of it then. Waldo, grats once again on being the most partisan person on this site.

  3. Why is Trudeau still allowing people to be imprisoned for pot offences when he moved to legalize it?

      Because there will be heavy enforcement for people who consume recreational pot through any avenue than a government owned monopoly.

      ^who do you think will actually do that, the enforcement? Whay does 'heavy' mean? Jail time for smoking a non approved joint? Trudeau is going 6to get hislef as very very far from this forthcoming nightmare as he can....

      At least her favourability is more in line with those that support her. But Trump. That means many people voting for him are simply voting against Clinton.

  6. Imminent death is a terrible addition to the "right to die" legislation. The whole point is relief from irrecoverable illness. If death is imminent, then suicide is unnecessary

      That should still be the decision of the one in pain. What right do you have to decide how much "imminent" pain a person has to suffer?

      The idea that CRA and the group which represents certified public accountants would consult and coordinate somehow becomes Harper corruption in the minds of the frenzied far left.

      Any given day there are about 50 obituaries in the Toronto Star. All will be missed by their family and friends and some will be remembered for their positive contributions and accomplishments.

      Rob Ford will be missed by his family and friends.

  17. Canada falls out of Top 5 Happiest Nations. Thanks, Junior! What's that? The survey was taken while Harper was PM? Well, Junior hasn't made it better! hrmph

      "A growing body of research indicates that immigrants are not only healthier but also more law-abiding than are the native born and in these ways contribute to positive trends in U.S. society (Martinez, 2006; Rumbaut and Ewing, 2007).
