  1. This an AWESOME article for those interested in the rise and influence of the UAE and how it affects USA polices and political landscape. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/02/world/middleeast/crown-prince-mohammed-bin-zayed.html
  2. I love the cast decision.
  3. Great article- thanks for sharing. That is huge news.
  4. Inaction on Sandy hook was the moment when I realized there was no hope for curbing gun violence the USA. **** hopes and prayers- do some thing.
  5. How so? I might be missing something here. What ever her tone- you gotta give her props for spelling aweigh correctly.
  6. Meh let it play out... apparently the states greatly affected by these Mexican tariffs are trump country.
  7. I chuckled. HARDCORE FREEEEEDOM!!!!
  8. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-05-31/illinois-becomes-11th-state-to-legalize-recreational-marijuana?utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=socialflow-organic&cmpid=socialflow-twitter-business&utm_medium=social&utm_content=business Illinois Becomes 11th State to Legalize Recreational Marijuana political- but good news!!!
  9. More fun than good- but that's also good too. https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/30/politics/f-35-accidental-sky-penis/index.html
  10. Ah Liz, I wish I could agree with you on this, but I can't- but if I could, I'd still vote for you. https://medium.com/@teamwarren/no-president-is-above-the-law-f4812e580336 I don't think the president is above the law- let me make that clear. I do how ever think that it is congress' job to do so. And yes, the senate would be the ones to oust the POTUS. Pretty much like how it is now. I think that they need to tweek the rules to stop the partisianship of this process though and try to minimize when politicians fail to their job and put party before country- that is a must. I don't have a solution for this, I just see that as the major issue is all. Hopefully "I have a plan for that" candidate has a plan for that. I have faith in her. I can see a lot going wrong with treating the Office and the POTUS the same as you would a white collar or hardened criminal.
  11. Thanks for that. Very informative article.
  12. Man, I feel for this dude. https://www.tsn.ca/talent/collaros-finds-himself-at-career-crossroads-1.1313327 I think he is done though... "I feel like I’m behind the eight ball. I want to be the guy, I want to get to that point,” Collaros said. “But I feel like the last three years has kind of stunted my intellectual growth in sports because I haven’t learned anything. I’ve learned a lot about myself. “There’s a lot of self-doubt that creeps into your mind and I think I’ve learned about myself that I can have a goal, there will be some self-doubt, but ultimately I’m strong enough in my mind to overcome those things and understand that if I trust the right people, I’m a strong person and I can work my way back from those kinds of things.”
  13. Who's Awesome? Liz is!
  14. See that is how things are going to change. $$$
  15. So now it's just... more inefficient? Well, now you now that there has been cuts. And why is the privatization of Hydro so out of the question? MTS was out of the question at one time, we now have Bell and FIlmon made off pretty handsomely with a tidy little profit from that. What did we get from that publicly owned utility? Cell phone bills are going through the roof now.
  16. Uhm... not sure why this is in the CLimate change thread... This should be in the forest management thread. We should be talking about raking the forest floors, like they do in Finland, as that is what combats wildfires. #MakeCanadaRakeAgain Here, just in case people were wondering if I was off my meds again. MCRA!
  17. Very good point- that could have actually been much more beneficial to the people of Ontario, if a different leader was chosen.
  18. Life is a lot more complicated than that. Hence why, sentencing discretion should not be taken away from a judge and given over to a blanket law. It's draconian. An excellent example here: https://www.aclu.org/other/10-reasons-oppose-3-strikes-youre-out "An 18-year old high school senior pushes a classmate down to steal his Michael Jordan $150 sneakers -- Strike One; he gets out of jail and shoplifts a jacket from the Bon Marche, pushing aside the clerk as he runs out of the store -- Strik e Two; he gets out of jail, straightens out, and nine years later gets in a fight in a bar and intentionally hits someone, breaking his nose -- criminal behavior, to be sure, but hardly the crime of the century, yet it is Strike Three. He is sent to prison for the rest of his life." The above example should not carry the same weight as Murder1
