Can you find the terms of it anywhere? Of course not because the government is intentionally keeping them hidden because they don't want people to know what those terms are, but the fact that the government made the deal is proof, in and of itself, that it is a bad deal. Why? Because if it were a "good deal" then a bank or other private institution would have made the investment. The ONLY time government's "invest" in companies is if those companies don't have a viable plan and therefore can't get people to invest their own money, so they turn to government who invest other people's money. The "loan" to Bombardier is dependent on them selling C-Series and Global 7000 Series jets. How many of those jets need to be sold to get any meaningful money back? The government refuses to tell us, which is telling in and of itself.

ADN and Civil Comments how is this belong the civil threshold? While I disagree with your opinion on the ACA was a ruse to implement a single payer system it would be far better than the options that have been proposed by the leadership of the Republican Party. If they were serious about addressing the health care/health insurance problems in this country it would have started in committees, so that it could have been thoroughly debated. Instead we have a plan written in secret and will be debated on the Senate floor. Pence will be in Washington for the every debate as the Republicans will need him to vote to reject every single Democratic amendment. The ACA was debated and amended by both parties in committee prior to going to the floor for a vote. As for the UK health system being controlled by the courts at least there would be testimony from medical professionals, in the US those decisions are often made by insurance executives who have business degrees, not medical degrees.

You say 'poll officials were threatened' and neglect to mention to your readers that a Senator from Raila's party assaulted a female presiding officer slapping ,shoving and manhandling her to the encouragement of a rowdy crowd as they dismantled tents and equipment of the electoral commission. You also fail to inform your audience that supermarkets were looted & destroyed necessitating the police to use force to deter further violence. And the commissioner you mention who fled for her safety remarked specifically that she received threats from both sides of the campaign. You say that Raila demanded a fresh election as you also side with his suggestion. What you neglect to mention to your readers is that if the election had not been done on the 26th Kenya would have been in a constitutional crisis. The Kenyan constitution mandates a repeat elections 60 days after annulment. By your logic we would have had a power vacuum that depends on politicians NOT THE CONSTITUTION to resolve.

I doubt the selected institutions set the "pace of academia" in the United States or anywhere else. They MIGHT set the pace in higher level Catholic education institutions, but even that claim is suspect. AND, if the "pace" alluded to is strictly about Catholic doctrinal learning, then it also is suspect -- for what is described seems to be lock-step, non-thinking, drone behavior, which is not upper level, adult education. It is pretty near a brain-washing technique. I hope there are no pace-setters for that.

One wonders what politicians thought would happen, when every year for decades now two to three hundred thousand immigrants come to Canada, and settle primarily in our largest cities. Obviously we need immigration and the skill levels many of these immigrants bring, but then we also need an increase in available housing. Home owners in Toronto and Vancouver must be more then a little annoyed that intrusive government in their lives, has now decided what their house should be worth as politicians attempt to control the price. The lesson learned from Vancouver is that the measures brought in are temporary, and will do zero in making housing affordable for the first time home buyer. We are seeing in cities like Toronto and Vancouver, that owning a house is a luxury and not a right as many have argued.

"Germany took Czechoslovakia by force..." but only after it negotiated a deal with British Prime Minister PERSON in which Great Britain and the other European powers agreed to allow Germany to take Czechoslovakia in exchange for Germany''s promise not to invade or occupy any other nations. After seizing Czechoslovakia Germany broke its promise, perhaps taking its cue from the American predilection to make promises and treaties then immediately violate them. Germany quickly proceeded to take over Austria, Poland and nearly the whole of Western Europe, Scandinavia and Northern Africa. The Republic of Hawai'i (which was actually the provisional government with a name change) was an unelected illegal government that resulted from a coup d'etat carried out by about 30 white supremacists. Even America considered them an illegal government until McKinley saw an opportunity to set up U.S. bases in Hawai'i thus violating Hawai'i's neutral nation status, a very serious war crime.

"No women in their right mind would prostitute herself for career advancement." Yes, I do stand by that. This idea that women are willing to prostitute themselves so quickly is male fantasy. No sane self-respecting person (woman or man) would willingly allow their body to be used and defiled, jeopardizing their career, health, dignity, etc., for "career advancement." That is called prostitution. It is a well known fact that many prostitutes have been sexually abused as children, robbing them of their self-worth and self-respect. Folks just want to make a living in a fair playing field. Unfortunately, the sexual victimization of women happens all over (not just Hollywood). It is pervasive and needs to be exposed.

The idea that FN unanimously oppose Site C is false. In fact, some local FN have signed on in support of Site C. Thirdly, the claim that Site C will create massive methane emissions is false.

We learned to protect our investment with fencing and with netting overhead. We purchased feed a pallet at a time, less work and can purchase when it’s convenient for you. There is plenty of storage space. One other item That was not listed anywhere is that the barn is set up and ready to go for heat and water which would lessen the load on anybody. The heat would be the residual heat from heating the house so that the heat will leave the wood stove heat the water in the house and the house come back, the barn would use what was left of the heat and then it would hit the woodstove again in a big circular motion. (If someone were to use the property for other than animals, that wouldn’t even be important. Thank you for commenting.
