She is so wonderful but then...
The statement about being the only profession to celebrate what it means to live a life was so horrendously misguided and ultimately insulting...that is what many of us strive to do in many different ways.

Yikes. “Canada dilutes...”?

I get your point, and do agree. But would venture that that is our culture. Not the “our diversity is our strength” version which seems to negate that we haven’t always, and remain to not always, treat each other well and are the site of some serious ongoing bad shit...But that our culture is that it is a little…

I don’t deny some positive progress and certainly life is better than under Harper. But, that does not mean that I will deny the bad - and some is truly terrible including broken promises, critically important things being stalled, becoming the second largest arms dealer to the middle east and a sketchy commitment to…

Amazing? That seems like a lot, I am struggling to see what he is achieving beyond good PR. A tonne of posters here already said it: aboriginal issues, pipelines, electoral reform. not to mention that whole accepting gifts from the Aga Khan, who receives a huge amount of federal money. He has played a PR game on…

I am so horrified and terrified. I am so sad and angry. And I am so proud of the unity, kindness and action to resist. But.....

gross.

I hate him, hate his kids, hate their politics and am terrified of what is coming. But....I do not believe this type of attack is warranted, especially in this forum. Hate her for squandering her platform, for choosing to be with Trump, for going along with all of this but this is not what you are doing, your attack…

Yes, the Canadian system has been a beacon (imperfect, but something good). But not the only place or way to help refugees. There are so many settlement agencies and university campus’ supporting recently resettled refugees and other newcomers in communities everywhere. You can donate, volunteer, mentor!

It clearly states that one allegation was substantiated.

your vote is yours and you do get to choose whoever you want. But at some point, one works with the system in place or acknowledges that votes for Johnson were really just votes for Trump.

Great point, the Reform Party is thriving today and a strong example of not needing grassroots support to run a highly competitive presidential race.

oh dear, you don’t get how things work.

It seems to me, that those who take this stance of choosing neither likely have very little to lose. Trump ran on a platform of stripping rights from many, I suppose you could argue that if your rights are not impacted it is hard to demonstrate empathy....I am having a hard time understanding what Johnson stands for.

But what were you voting FOR? Did Gary Johnson really present something to you that was highly appealing? Agreed that a 2 party system sucks, but in THIS election without actual 3rd party candidates of value then votes for him or Stein really were just protest votes. What I am unclear is whether the result feels…

You get it? You do not know me and your comments have “othered” me, please don’t push your othering of First Nations onto me. I have not voted for him, but can be thoughtful enough to see where work has happened. As I said before things are not perfect, but better.

The launch of a long overdue inquiry and actions related to murder, lack of infrastructure, systemic racism, limited access to education are not mutually exclusive. Do not attempt to twist my words.

I know you think you have done your homework and keep posting the same articles. For the most part your sources are dated. The refugee article is from before his election. Just last week it was reported that food inflation is slowing. Maryam Monsef’s situation is complex, there seems to be no indication that she lied,…

- gender parity in the cabinet

This is just cold and cruel.
