I agree there are other ways to handle this. I can also see some good and pitfalls falling along this. On the good it's taking a nice step towards better health care and hopefully less crappy profit driven insurance and health consultants (for lack of more appropriate term) On the bad, they are looking too short sighted and a little too exclusive. There are local companies who could probably do a great job on this project. There are probably other industries that would be interested in investing in this to be included. This may also be stepping on the toes of history here. Don't forget the companies that owned and dictated where their employees lived, and that went horribly. (Can't really remember much specific about it, mid 1800s I think)

Apparently you didn't read, or you didn't understand, Samuelson's essay, especially the part where the finished goods have been across the border multiple times, making them a cooperative effort between our two nations. Those are specific products for specific larger assemblies in many cases, and the disruption of the complex net of manufacturing would cost industries huge money in lost capital, lost time, and lost sources. I would guess the immediate loss of capital in Mexico (and in the US) would hit investors on both sides of the border, and greatly increase the scarcity and cost of major goods to consumers in both countries. What is the gain? I see none. The manufacture of widgets for American cars would simply go to China. Much of it has, already. And not only for us. Honda small engines now are manufactured in China, as are many auto parts and subassemblies. You would start a trade war over an insignificant deficit with a neighbor we need to prosper.

The topic is about EPA. And Trump nominee is not "against the EPA", the EPA is a department, has no mind of its own, and just represents the agenda of the director at the time. Precisely because he knows how EPA works, the lies and collusion, and how it has manipulated data and serve the elite econuts, is that his nominee is a VERY good choice. Understandable that the left would disagree, but hardly the sanctimonious and drama queen reaction they are having.

Honestly, I'm having a tough time standing for it. It has nothing to do with disrespect for the Constitution. It has everything to do with how we behave domestically and internationally. Our domestic in-fighting continues to separate us, so we never compromise or cooperate to work towards a positive end for all. I feel bad about this, because when I was young, I believed in our country, so I served to defend it. Now, having watched 54 years transpire in this country, I see more division and bad behavior than ever. Krapernick ticked me off because all that guy did was sit and draw attention. Heck, I read he doesn't even vote. Now, Marshall at least went out and talked to police departments and educated himself. So, I had no problem with him sitting. If someone is actually doing something, sitting or standing during the song doesn't mean much to me. If all they do is sit or stand for that song, that ticks me off.

Ecological Hysteria "Many radical environmentalists do not have the environment as their top priority. In 1992 the top 12 environmental groups raised $638 million. Six-figure salaries abound in the offices of these organizations. Saving the environment has proven for some to be an easy path to financial success. A second motivating factor is the political agenda of a new breed of socialists, who regard private ownership of property as a major source of evil on the planet. A third motivating factor is the New Age religion of people in the Greenpeace and Earth First organizations. Political and social radicals love the implicit revolutionary nature of contemporary environmentalism; they see it as a way of mobilizing the masses into supporting their radical agenda."

The same real estate board in Vancouver said the same thing for many years and had the exact same 4.9 % number (coincidence?)and even up to the introduction of the 15% foreign tax which, when introduced, stopped sales in their tracks and started us on the slow road of making housing affordable again. If I were you I would be very skeptical of the self interest of the real estate board as I think you will find they are only supporting whatever position is in their interest.

Kasich has particularly broad appeal, especially with independents. He also polls better with nonwhite voters than most Republicans. He even goes so far as to acknowledge the fact of climate change, which gives him a leg up with younger voters who aren't fooled by the denialism of the right and who will be living with the consequences of it for their entire adult lives. After the dust settles and the magnitude of what Trump has done to their brand sinks in, Republicans will do well to look to Kasich as one of the people who can lead them out of the woods. Nikki Haley is another they should listen to. The problem is the alt-right has infiltrated so deep that they are in an ugly bind: they can't win with this crowd, and they can't win without them. True conservatism is in no way racist (in fact it's anti-racist by nature), but the party of conservatism has dug this hole by not addressing the rot within. It won't be easy repairing the damage.

"This analysis provides clear evidence that those who view Trump favorably are disproportionately living in racially and culturally isolated zip codes and commuting zones. Holding other factors constant, support for Trump is highly elevated in areas with few college graduates, far from the Mexican border, and in neighborhoods that stand out within the commuting zone for being white, segregated enclaves, with little exposure to blacks, Asians, and Hispanics." —Jonathan Rothwell, Gallup Researcher In other words, race is important. Rothwell, discussing what is known to social scientists as “contact theory,” essentially argues that living in overwhelmingly white enclaves increases one’s chances of being a racist, as “Limited interactions with racial and ethnic minorities, immigrants, and college graduates may contribute to prejudicial stereotypes, political and cultural misunderstandings, and a general fear of rejection and not belonging.” —Ryan Lizza

So what could be done? A 15% top rate graduated income tax conservatively raises $2.5B. Bumping that as State tax is deductible by itemizers, and adding some basic subsistence allowances for stiff taxes on gasoline ($6/gallon) and booze (by gallon of alcohol volume bought by consumer instead of current excise tax) we get to actually start paying our own way.

They can call vigilantism "collateral" or "unintended" consequences, but here and now I stand toe-to-toe with the politicians who pass these laws and call them filthy sorry liars to their very faces. The only real warning attached to using the registry as a means to inflict additional punishment upon offenders in TN is "The offender may not live at the address indicated." In other words, you might get the wrong person. The legislators are by far and large lawyers and have figured out they can put "civil" or "regulatory" on any additional punishment and the courts will wink, nod, and swallow that bull hook, line, and sinker.

Sadly, the NDP response to every issue is just another tax. Your kids are fat, put a tax on soft drinks, what ever happened to sending them outside. Why not deal with the real problems in housing. The housing crisis is due to the systemic failure of a lot of government agencies and such. Fintrac, CRA, CBSA, the Realtors Association and the Legal profession all turning a blind eye to what was happening. Yes, many are government employees. Examples abound of illicit money in the market, bidding up homes and looking for a quick resale. Now governments at all levels find themselves in a bind. If the market crashes, and it will, how about the poor family that grossly overpaid for a half duplex in Abbotsford that finds themselves underwater. These taxes never generate the funds aspiring politicians think they will. Capital is mobile and will go where it is most wanted. The public should be asking tougher questions.

However, Northern Ireland would have trouble getting a referendum to quit the UK. By the power-sharing agreement, the Protestants would never leave and become the minority in a Catholic country, so no referendum would ever be held. And if power-sharing fails, the NI government reverts to direct rule from London, which would never let a referendum be held either.

Hi, Winnipeg. You tell us, "every day we become more fractured into identity groups and regional interests; any semblance of a whole quickly deteriorating." And blahblahblah. Another, "Gosh, in the good old days..." comment. Maybe because you're too young to remember what Canada was like...before. Today, in Quebec, no bombs in mailboxes; no FLQ-type groups stuffing government ministers into car trunks for assassination. Nobody in Ottawa (heck, even Edmonton!) scratching their heads over B.C.'s "Oriental problem"--which makes today's subtle west coast anti-Asian sentiment a joke. Why? Only a few hundred Chinese East of the Rockies back then! When Ottawa sold hundreds of thousands of European refugees on coming here, the press called them "scum of the earth" and the "dregs of Europe." Not much news about "Indians," though as the RCMP rounded up the kids for residential schools... Yeah, we got troubles today, boy! We were never "whole," Winnipeg. Never.
