Mr. Zhang is a political adviser to the Chinese government in Beijing and a senior apparatchik in the network of Chinese state promotional activities around the world."

Comment: So let me get this straight. Unlike Government workers these specialist MD's  have no pension, no dental, no VIP benefits, no catastrophic life insurance,  no physio, no overtime, no triple time on stat holidays, have to work holidays, work weekends, don't see their families and children for dinner, take call for their colleagues overnight once a week, may not have disability and don't have paid vacations. So if these MD's work longer hours and harder and then have to pay more taxes on the additional work.....they just won't work extra. They must feel screwed, let the politicians find some one else to do it. Results in longer wait times in the imploding disasterous Canadian health care system.

Comment: I have been divorced for 12 years. I initiated the divorce. We weren't a good fit and my ex-wife was more interested in my "resources" and what they afforded her to do than being a contributing partner in our relationship. The divorce cost me about $40,000 and I have paid a total of $432,000 in child and spousal support during this time as she has remarried TWICE. When I initiated the split she told me she would take me for everything and continues to do so to this day. In the mean time I focused on living in my tiny house and trying to be the best dad to my kids. Both have completely pulled away from me in their teens because I have insisted on them going to school and having responsibilities. Their mother has been entirely hands off. She parties, rides her horses while I struggle to convince my kids to improve attendance at school, avoid weed, and work hard. They won't listen. It's been hell. Why would I want to go through this again?. It's been financial devastation.

Comment: Its really amazing how unintelligent most of the posts on this article are.  Its like the entire collection  of right wing bigots and racists have come out.
Lets start with some facts.
1) At worst this man was a child soldier.  His father dragged him there and forced him to do the fathers bidding.
2) Child soldiers are not responsible for their actions because it is understood that they don't have free will and can not walk away.
3) The US was in violation of all laws regarding how they treated this man and most others at Gitmo.
4) He is a Canadian citizen and every other western nations brought their citizens home from Gitmo.
5) In the usual Canadian style,  Canada and its officials aided and abetted the torture of this man.   Liberals and Conservatives are guilty of this.  Regardless of your politicals,  your chosen leader can not choose what laws to obey and ignore. .  That means Stevie Harpo wasted $5 million.  Suck it up you fools. Next time vote smarter.

Comment: I recently met a man who was a Navajo from Northern Arizona.  He asked me about the native peoples from where I live (Southern Ontario).  He also mentioned that Navajo speakers from the US Southwest have a very similar language to the native people of Northwestern Canada, and this surprised me.

I later did some reading and it seems that the Athabaskan people of what is now Canada did indeed migrate South to that area and essentially displaced the local Pueblo tribes around AD1400 (and before the Spanish arrived to the area).

I wonder how the Pueblos felt about having their agricultural culture attacked by these nomadic hunters at the time?

Trump's objective here, as in other legislative initiatives, is to wipe away any laws that were passed during the Obama years. It matters not whether existing laws benefit tens of millions of Americans. If these laws were passed while Obama was in power they have to go. I'm not sure whether Trump is doing this because Obama was a mixed race president. In any case, two resolute ladies and a great patriot, John McCain, have done their bit to ensure that the US remains a functioning democracy.

Comment: You bring up a really good point about the grocery stores.  When I lived in Asia there were certain foods that I just craved, but could never get.  I didn't feel as though there was some Asian privilege going on.  Rather I realized it was the market.  If there were enough white dudes who wanted to buy something it would have been there.  But there weren't.  I never thought of boohooing about it and claiming I was discriminated against.  Instead, I tried new foods and enjoyed the culture that I was so lucky to get to enjoy.  Now, back home, I have such fond memories and now I search out the foods at Asian markets that I ate and loved when I was there.  And I introduced foods to my family members.  I was appalled when a family member had never had a mango.  We got some and he loved it!

Now years later the “survivors” are going to get compensation because of their unfit mothers and families.  This whole politically correct thing is getting way out of hand.

Justin Trudeau brought the Liberal Party back from 3rd place to  power and recruited a lot of bright,accomplished people albeit some with very little political experience especially of the go for the throat school of Rove in which many of the CPC members are steeped.

Trudeau has degrees from  2  great universities, Mcgill and UBC and is widely read and traveled.

The leader of the opposition has a BA and few months training as an insurance salesman. Many CPC MP's  went directly into back room politics from high school or university.

 Thee is nothing wrong with any of his of course but to then blather on about Trudeau  not being up to the mark is comic considering the source.

Jim Jansen, CEO of Lynden, has a significant business relationship with ExxonMobil in Australia.  The probable quid pro quo in this relationship is that Jansen arranges funding to groups that want to continue the massive theft of Alaska's oil wealth in exchange for continued funding from Exxon.  This is similar to how VECO operated.  Obtain lucrative, no bid contracts for oil field services "work".  Then the top people (such as felon Bill Allen) pay bribes to elected officials, and fund the campaigns of white trash that will betray Alaskans by giving away the oil wealth.

The goal is not about helping Alaska.  If their objectives are met, they will bankrupt Alaska. 

Every dirty, soulless SOB that gets support from this group must be rejected by voters.

What we look like now is a nation of laws that manned-up and admitted a grievous error we did to one of our own (as we also did to Maher Arar). Better late than never.  We are finally reaffirming that Canadian citizenship really does mean something, even in foreign torture cells.

Comment: Wayne Easter, a 24 year Liberal MP from PEI, has had senior parliamentary secretary and committee roles and was in cabinet as Solicitor General in the Chretien government.

This makes him a double threat to Butts and other central Canada big city slickers (accent on slick) in the PMO who control the government agenda and messaging and try to control the MPs.

Being from PEI, he has an "annoying" tendency to be a down to earth, common sense, honest to a fault parliamentarian whom speaks his mind candidly about government gaffes and stupidities even by his own party.

Being a 24 year MP, he knows how parliament should work, how the government should interface with opposition MPs and how major changes to parliamentary rules and to tax and other fundamental policy should be developed and rolled out.

In April, he criticized the government's attempt to muzzle and marginalize the opposition.

Now he is defending small business from the new tax grab.

God bless you, Wayne Easter!

Comment: The lesson you learned too late was you should have gone into teaching or the public service. It's not as if these were secret professions that no one knew about. In choosing a career it's always advantageous to look at the pros and cons of each profession. If you feel you made the right choice, then you shouldn't complain about what others have, since you could have had it as well, you chose not to.

Comment: 1)All small business has expenses that are incurred and much like doctors our biggest expemse is SALARIES.
2) Small business does not, I repeat does not have the ability to raise prices to account for new taxes.. The Physians claim this as a major reason for their

Comment: It is called the "law of unintended consequences".....and the real problem is Trump's "populist" views that sound good, are actually counter productive, and the second more important real problem is he has no clue regarding the first problem.  He is shooting from the hip with sound bytes, photo ops, and rhetoric while behind the scenes already beginning to create real havoc.  This and he is a low point in US leadership, in my view.

Comment: As David's Aunt I beg the community to insist on  no plea deals, a judge who utilizes their position for our community's best interest and our  community's safety to enforce maximum sentences on each of the 5  punks arrested. A couple of these punks were involved in a similar act of crime recently and bounced back on the street in a few months, escalated their behaviors to  kidnapp and brutally murder our David. Why were their sentences a slap on the wrist? Why were they free in our community? Please I beg you do not allow any of these murderers back on our  streets ever again. The Alaska State Troopers did their job and now it is up to the legal system and the Judge to do their job.  #justiceforgrunwald. A message must be sent to our community that our legal system works and  if you do a crime you will do the time.

Comment: Actually, this money is just sitting in the Permanent Fund earnings account.  No one has actually spent any of it, yet.  Legislative action is needed to spend this money.  So basically, Walker decreed: "I'm keeping half of your PFD ... until I can figure out how to waste it.  Then I will spend it all on a bloated government that I will not cut and my pet projects."

Comment: By only mentioning 'hatred' of clinton as modus operandi and not stating clearly it is disdain and distrust of all MSM that is driving this as the media are clearly part of the problem, in cahoots with the neoliberals wanting to destroy local populations for their utopian ideals, publishing facts that are not facts while accusing others of same.

We are starved in Canada for a proper political party that puts patriotism over migrants for example - a majority p.o.v. in Canada whitewashed out of existence in MSM other than one or two voices in entire country.

Comment: I believe the respected British economist Sir Paul Collier has noted that the net economic benefits for developed countries resulting from large scale immigration are marginal and that the impacts tend to be unfairly differential in that they benefit the already wealthy and hurt those, including other recent immigrants, who are nearer the bottom of the economic ladder.

Comment: Not so, he brought attention to Toronto's enormous waste. Hardly anyone goes along with the proposed $5B Sheppherd subway stop-Kennedy station rebuild boondoggle, or the $17,500 per year being spent to 'not repair' each of the 58,000 TCHC units each year  but which is spent on fake management expenses and  sundries while all other Toronto landlords spend about $3,000 for managememt and repairs, per unit per year in the private sector for similar real estate. Most Torontonians are fed up with mismanagement because Rob Ford blew the whistle.

And, as a volunteer coach, he took his admiring football team to the all-Ontario finals. He certainly deserves a stadium, plus don't forget the thousands of times he stepped into the breach to help ordinary citizens.

He survived a bigoted bully press we all have lost respect for and will not forget, He succeeded in rehab. An American mayor - Mariaon Berry, with a worse scandal was forgiven. We have no right to hold a grudge.

Comment: "you have to live in a bubble of the well-off establishment" lectures a member of the establishment to people who are not well off or part of the establishment but that desire that their tax money be used effectively.  I'm not sure if Doyle is serious about CBC being vital outside of the major cities, but this is false.  A great example would be Saskatchewan, where both CTV and Global have news programs originating out of both Saskatoon and Regina, but CBC is entirely Regina centric.  If CBC went away tomorrow, outside of the politically active left, no one would know...

Comment: The overwhelming majority of Canadians supported not allowing Jewish refugees in the 1930s. I think opinion have changed since then. 

As for the niqab, I agree that it is in violation of the Canadian belief system. So are Amish or Mennonite values. But I don't have a problem with how those communities behave.

Finally, how many of these regressive countries have you visited? Or has your knowledge been gathered from provocateurs like Margaret, or news channels like Fox and Breitbart?

Comment: "Academic extremism comes to Canada"


Well, that may be so, and/or it is just an opinion of a Globe and Mail "freelancer" 

On the other hand/in the real world, far right extremism has been on a steady rise and has come to the cesspool surface in the United States and "parts " of Canada, bolstered/empowered by the Trump Presidential campaign and subsequent win

The amount and frequency of far right white-supremacy, anti-Semitic, homophobic, Muslim hating violent bullying has increased ten-fold in the past year, yet, it has been swept under the carpet by the right-wing across Canada and the United States, a right-wing that refuses to take responsibility for this lunatic fringe.

Time to look in the mirror Ladies and Gentlemen of the "right"/Conservatives, time to clean up your "house" before pointing fingers at others

Comment: Surely Trudeau cannot be that naive. There is way more to this story. Keep digging into the long-time relationship between the Trudeaus, their friends, and China.Canadians need to wake up fast to what is going on. Why is Trudeau so enamoured with China?

Don't think that Trump won't take notice of what is going on between Trudeau and China.

Comment: Well, I'm also a Canadian Forces veteran and I find the apology and compensation unfortunate but necessary. I became a soldier to enforce the Constitution and defend Canada from threats, both foreign and domestic.  I was willing to die to protect our values, our way of life, and Canadian citizens.  It didn't say I was only to protect the rights of Canadians I liked or who are law abiding.  Fact is, our government violated the Constitution and international laws under the United Nations when they allowed a minor to be held in Guantanamo and stood idly by as he was tortured by a foreign government.  Far as I'm concerned, the apology and compensation have nothing to do with Khadr, and everything to do with a failure of our Government to uphold and abide by our Constitution.  Had our Government respected international law and the Constitution in the first place, we wouldn't owe Khadr a nickel.  The system failed Khadr, that's a fact.

Comment: First of all, I thank and honour you very much for your service.

However , there's the rub.
At 15, they allowed you to forfeit your life.
However, at 15 you cannot drink, you cannot drive, you cannot view a restricted movie, you cannot have sex, you cannot vote
You are not considered adult enough to make decisions on your own. In the armed forces, you respond to orders, disobey them, and you are out if not thrown in jail for treason.

BTW, 15 back then is a whole lot different now
At that time, 15 year old boys held full time jobs, and were not living at home.

Comment: I have a challenge that I extend to any members or supporters of the Toronto Chapter of Black Lives Matter.

Do you folks realize what a poor reputation you have with so many Canadians?

Seriously, you wreck a recent parade by laying down and obstructing and refusing to budge.

Who does that?

And your group has trouble - I mean seriously - has trouble somehow seeing that it is a HELPFUL thing for society when police are there in support of a pride parade with a police float?

My view of the Toronto Chapter of Black Lives Matter is that it is an organization comparable to a pile of unhelpful garbage. You folks are elbows up, in peoples' faces, demanding everything be your way or no way, you are like a bunch of three year olds having angry tantrums, you are like Donald Trump.

Please feel free to try to defend your pathetic organization under this post. Or else just accept it: Your group provides a lousy role model for anybody noticing your group.
