“devious Jews” vs “globalists” and “cosmopolitan elites,”: Can't someone be against globalists and elites without being antisemitic? The globalists who want to replace local governments with far-off supranational entities, or the elites who want people to change to their way of thinking and acting? Given that the author of the study is a Jew, might he be biased and try to overstate his case?

“climate-change policies of the Wynne government” This is misleading, since what happened in Ontario was the result of corruption and incompetence, and is not the result of “green” initiatives, but rather, signing contracts that more than tripled the average price for the delivery of such services. This is an anomaly, not the norm. “it is the incompetence and ideological fixations of an inexperienced NDP government” No, that mess was created by previous right-wing governments, who failed to save anything in boom times, and of course, the greed of the oil companies that let go most of their work forces (but continued to gouge Canadians at the pumps) when oil prices were artificially dropped, largely to weaken Russia, Iran, and Venezuela - or BRICS as a whole. Interesting that you ignore "globalization" altogether, which enabled the economic collapse at the root of all of this, and the "austerity" measures that followed, which only made things worse.

Now it is reasonable for us also to pray for God's hand to be upon our new President, to give him wisdom, to surround himself with wise counsel, and to have an open heart and be led by God's holy spirit in every decision he makes.

As The Post noted in a new analysis published last week, that means black Americans are 2.5 times as likely as white Americans to be shot and killed by police officers. U.S. police officers have shot and killed the exact same number of unarmed white people as they have unarmed black people: 50 each. But because the white population is approximately five times larger than the black population, that means unarmed black Americans were five times as likely as unarmed white Americans to be shot and killed by a police officer…." https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2016/07/11/arent-more-white-people-than-black-people-killed-by-police-yes-but-no/?tid=pm_national_pop_b&utm_term=.00640c101530

“What struck me most was the homeless people themselves, or people “experiencing homelessness,” as social workers prefer to say, reminding us that homelessness is not an identity. All the people I spoke to were warm and funny, intelligent and articulate, despite any addictions or mental illnesses that may have led them to the street. They each had an interesting life story to tell — filled with remarkable adventures, cherished memories, loves lost and tragedy endured. They were all very much like you and me.” -- Craig Smith, NY Times, Canada Today, March 3, 2017 https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/03/world/canada/medicine-hat-canada-homelessness.html

“What man among you having a hundred sheep and losing one of them would not leave the ninety-nine in the desert and go after the lost one until he finds it?" (Luke 15:4) “Or what woman having ten coins and losing one would not light a lamp and sweep the house, searching carefully until she finds it?" (Luke 15:8) Apparently chasing after the wandering, looking for the lost, is exactly what Jesus would do, and would have us do. Archbishop Chaput (R-PA), like several of his brothers in the National Conference of Republican Bishops (the shrinking cadre of 'culture warrior' bishops), makes an occasional foray into partisan politics. It's embarrassing for him and for the church when he does; I hope there are priests and people in his diocese who are telling him so emphatically and effectively. The attempt to sanitize a vote for the racist, misogynistic, fascist nominee of the Republican Party is especially repugnant. One might even say that it's deplorable.

“What is not difficult to suggest is that without that organised agency of change there can be no fundamental transformation. The working class is the driving force in this regard.” The words of former "intelligence" minister Ronnie Kasrils. If the ANC had tried to instill an ethos of honesty and integrity in their cadres, and a spirit of tolerance and forbearance in their voters, SAfrica might have been a totally different place today ! It is also interesting to note in Kasril's remarks about JZ, the latent RACISM, even against a comrade in arms.

Kinda like saying what are the schools doing to fix a student's anti social behavior and personality disorder. Parents are accountable for their kids social behavior.

“We’ve benefited since the Second World War from a whole number of co-operative arrangements with the United States on defence where the U.S. carries a disproportionate share financially.” The US activity in the Middle East and surrounding area deserved exactly zero support. The US started by financing the takeover of land in Palestine. The Arabs-Muslims retaliated, hitting US embassies in Africa. Then a US Naval vessel. The US attacked a factory in Khartoum while continuing support of takeover of land in Palestine. Then 9-11, just another battle in the war. For shame Canada joined the US attack on an innocent country, its government taken over by the US. It is good to hear that the US may withdraw from NATO. The US lead NATO into obscene activities, such as Afghanistan. Canada could and should withdraw from NATO and disconnect militarily from the US. There is no common enemy.

“We’re committed to making sure that women and girls have that choice, because otherwise, this is a form of gender-based violence.” Advocates that use extreme rhetoric rarely do their cause any good. Generally it has the opposite effect. People are bound to react negatively to being accused of violence, when they've done nothing of the sort. That in turn makes people feel negatively about the issue in general, in this case about women having choices in reproductive health. INCLUSIVENESS is the best and most ethical rhetoric. "We're committed to making sure that women and girls have choices about their reproductive health, just as we're committed to seeing that men and boys have choices about their health concerns. "

“We’ll always have the situation where people won’t see us as total people. Sometimes they just see us as football players,” When the president publicly calls you an SOB It's not because he just sees you as a football player "disrespecting" the flag or America or whatever - he sees a black man asserting himself and that's clearly not tolerable in Trump's new Jim Crow America. I'm pretty sure it's unprecedented for a president to use such hateful and foul language directed at specific Americans in a public speech. Maybe short of Jefferson's notion of “The blacks...are inferior to the whites in the endowments both of body and mind," Jackson calling Indians savages, Polk's hatred of "mongrel" Mexicans, Wilson calling the KKK "great", Roosevelt's Japanese internment order, ....uhh never mind.
