counter-citation: Uncle-daddy-pastor Mike didn’t drop out of the GOP primary until February 2016 after the Iowa caucus.

Aren’t maternity and parental leave funded through the federal EI (Employment Insurance) program rather than provincial health insurance?

The cities probably don’t have by-laws or policies requiring advance payment. ByranL explains (in another reply thread) that Orlando does such a policy and did demand payment. Absent policy or other regulation, requesting money ahead of the booking from a single customer could be considered discriminatory.

Excellent financial management by the city of Orlando. As I was reading this, I kept asking myself why city officials aren’t asking for payment in full in advance or a deposit at least. Now I know; many cities probably don’t have a policy or by-law similar to Orlando’s requiring payment before rental is confirmed.

There aren’t Goodwill Stores in the Greater Toronto Area. The company went bankrupt after hiring one of the US-based Goodwill orgs in a consulting agreement. Prices went up and whatever the advice was it didn’t work here.

Many libraries offer short-term “cards” and borrowing privileges, particularly in vacation areas. The PL in Rancho Mirage (Palm Springs) has a 6-month membership for out-of-state visitors for $30.

My dad, class of ‘56, took a typing class in high school. A shitty teacher who wouldn’t give him the top mark because of, ahem, “unique” handwriting, was his motivation.

Yeah, the almost 10 year difference between Anne (Aug. 1950) & Andrew (Mar. 1960) would create that.

Interesting. With succession to the throne having given preference to male offspring until 2015, wouldn’t Andrew have been the spare not Anne?

As far as I’ve read, this is something Trump & Nixon share exactly: hate, bad-mouth, and go after the people that don’t like them.

*grandfather was JSM, Jr.

The business cards are a great idea. Canned text & email messages with the link would work well too.

Can we please note that the ship was named after 2 Admirals who died before Meghan was born — John Sydney McCain Sr., her great-grandfather, and John Sydney McCain Sr., her grandfather, in 1992? The Navy honored John Sydney McCain that we knew as a Vietnam vet and U.S. Senator for Arizona, Meghan’s her father (John…

That deserves “Stupid SOB” on his gravestone.

Excellent frame for the discussion. I’ve been thinking about abortion in another frame recently. A person who is pregnant is facing medical care — one of three sets of medical procedures and the associated risks: abortion (surgical or medical); miscarriage and aftercare; pregnancy care, childbirth and aftercare.…

I knew about Cuban medical professionals in Venezuela. I hadn’t heard that the docs were only for Chavez-Maduro loyalists or about the police state toolbox.

The traitor tots will grift on the status elevation implied by the photos as long as they can draw breath. US taxpayers have paid for material that will fuel future gaslighting.

While in Cuba a few years back, I met Americans who were on side trips from vacations in Cancun and Dominican Republic. Cuba doesn’t stamp passports though two stamps arriving at your vacation destination may raise questions.

Isn’t the power in that relationship more with the Venezualans, i.e. the petro-producing country? Cuba may be facing economic hardship similar to what occurred in the 90s when the Soviet Union collapsed.

In his mind there’s no way he’d compare himself to Richard Nixon, not enough rich & manly.
