quote:It’s also besties no more. New Foreign Affairs Minister Stéphane Dion says while Israel is a friend, Canada can help more by returning to its honest broker role and improving its relations with other Middle East nations than continuing the policies of the former Conservative government. “The main difference is that we will stop making it a partisan issue,” Dion said. Our Elizabeth Thompson has that story. Great, now push the Israeli's for an actual peace deal with the Palestinians. quote:NDP Leader Tom Mulcair faced his caucus yesterday for the first time since their thumping and afterwards said the party deserves credit for getting the Conservatives out of government. "I think the NDP formed the only real opposition Mr. Harper ever had to face and that's one of the reasons we were able to defeat him.” Right. Is Tom aware of the small shindig that went down at Rideau Hall earlier in the day? There is no silver lining here, you lost Mulcair. The pettiness of moving the goalposts to support that claim puts you alongside of the departing CPC party and I am not a fan of that. Admit defeat and be humble, take lessons and move forward. vyelkin posted:Harjit Sajjan, our new Minister of Defence, everybody: I like him

Helsing posted:My go to meal is quinoa and beans and one of my favorite past times is chilling out to an audiobook while going on a long run. Then again even when I spent years being physically inactive and eating junkfood I never had any problems with my weight so honestly I mostly assume my fitness is a function of genetics. Either way you're going to have to find a different angle for why we apparently disagree on the causes of obesity. The foods people eat now are much calorie denser than before. Genetics or illness will determine base metabolism (which does not differ much), whereas the food you input is entirely of your own control. It's very hard to get as large as some of the geriatrics do without HFCS, I'd wager it is impossible barring serious illness.

Twiin posted:This is dumb. Two people don't absorb the same amount of calories from eating the same food. Some people produce more enzymes of one type than another, meaning any given food might have a higher or lower caloric availability. Some people's intestines are six feet longer than some other people's. People with mild lactose deficiencies get far fewer calories out of drinking milk. Then, different people expend different amounts of energy to actually process those different kinds of food. Some foods trigger a mild immune response during digestion due to pathogens, which costs more calories. There so many variables in play all the time. You can't conflate your weight with another persons unless you literally eat the same meals at the same times. People don't get large by eating rice cakes and salads without tons of mayo.

Don't bother answering because the number is super low and depressing. Next up the cost of the UP express (half a billion+) which can't even break even on operating costs. quote:By June 19, 2015, the Union Pearson Express was averaging about 3,250 riders a day, or 12 percent capacity.[45] Metrolinx has projected that a year after opening, the service will attract 5,000 riders a day — about 1 million customers. By 2020, Metrolinx expects 2.46 million rides will bring it up to full operating cost recovery.[46]

PT6A posted:If the dental benefits are capped at something like $600/year, which is what the policy said, I submit to you that it wouldn't cover a dental emergency very well at all. I pay $380/visit twice-yearly for my regular dental checkups and cleaning, so given 75% coverage, I'd still be right up against the payout limit without anything happening. Besides, I have plenty of money to pay for more spendy dental work, it just means I'd have less money to do other things with and/or invest. If you work through one of the big agencies they should offer a group rate for benefits. Alberta has the highest dental rates in the country also, so shop around.

I don't believe you can separate a persons physical actions from their mental state of mind, it's fairly straightforward. In the case of episodic <<insert mental illness>> where the end result is physical violence and at the extreme causal to death, there should not be a blurred line where for instance Vince Weiguang Li or Guy Turcotte should be free by any frame of the word free. The same applies to drinking and driving deaths whereby the responsible party basically gets 4-5 years tops for murdering people such as the pending case against Marco Muzzo (who will likely serve under 5 years). If you really want to bring psychology into it, when a person is mentally fit, they should serve the remainder of their sentence as the rest of the population would, rather than release them into the streets. Keep in mind I'm not talking about petty crimes and having people serve 20 years for theft, I'm talking about murders and the soft velvet glove of the Canadian criminal justice system.

They physically did a thing, they totally understood what they were doing an what the ramifications of those actions would be.

Drunk, high, sneezing, whatever. Do the crime, do the time. Specifically to self-defence, I would do whatever I felt reasonably necessary to stop the threat against me. Depending on how I went about this, I would in fact be breaking the law and would be indicted (conviction is unlikely, unless you essentially murder someone) as such. Feel free to please cite examples of vehicular murder/homicide from canlii in the past 5 years where people actually get incarcerated for a significant period of time. You seem to live in a perfect world where there are no repeat offenders for any crime, please send me your postal code so I can live there. Let's look at our harsh penalties for what is supposed to be societies most serious crime, murder or homicide. quote:http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2015/06/19/guilty-verdict-in-costco-crash-that-killed-two-girls.html quote:http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/windsor/ruth-burger-costco-crash-sentencing-probation-1.3280494 Marco Muzzo will likely get the same harsh penalty, a driving ban.

What I am getting at is the best way to murder someone in Canada is with a car, conviction is likely but you will always face the lesser charges regardless of intent. Very rarely is there enough evidence to warrant an actual conviction of murder or homicide. I mean we are better than China where you run people over thrice to ensure they are dead for financial incentives, but be serious about our legal system.
