We live in a society where some people are too easily offended, which is sad! Be more thick-skinned people & stop being so oversensitive! Good grief, life is too short. Hallowe'en is about just having FUN! As long as no one is being seriously hurt & no one is acting like a criminal then leave the kids alone & let them have fun! As long as a person isn't a criminal & is not dressed-up like, just for example, a terrorist I DO NOT CARE what kind of costume a person wears! Live & let live. Last point, 'DO NOT judge a person until you have walked a mile in their shoes'! In other words, don't JUDGE a person until you get to know them! But what do I know?! (I'm a 45 year old, white male. So I guess that makes me a woman-hating, racist, criminal & pig, eh?!) As far as I AM concerned, racism & discrimination is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!! No flagNo flagAllowNo actionChecked

I th…I believe Capital Gains tax was introduced after the Carter Commission reviewed taxation policy. It replaced the inheritance tax which was 30% (? I think). Capital gains tax is better than inheritance taxes. One of the main problems is the extent to which the tax burden has been transferred from higher income to lower income households. The benefits of VATs and Registered Saving Plans benefit higher income households, i.e. those that save rather consume. New fees and tolls would have the same effect. The Toronto car registration fee, DVP/Gardiner tolls, and hydro surcharges are all government revenue sources (taxes) that add to the burden of lower and lower middle income households. Rob Ford figured that out. Necessary expenses, e.g the Gardiner Repair, still have to be financed. Rob Ford also knew that, even if they are necessary, no one wants to pay! Magical thinking is the tax policy for a lot of successful politicians. Maybe we need a return to more progressive income tax rate? No flagNo flagAllowNo actionChecked

A less lovely aspect of Christianity is the intolerance practised by his followers in his name, in the millennia after his death. The Spanish inquisition and the crusades made one of my children exclaim, "You can love the guy, but you have to hate the fan club". The exclusivity, smugness, and irrationality of "only-if-you-believe-will-you-be-saved" made me shake my head at age eleven and walk away. As an almost-lifelong atheist, therefore, I can reassure some of the other commenters that there is no shortage of opportunities to help others outside church-based food drives. One can live one's love in professions such as medicine, and in celebrating mankind's diversity, and in championing social justice all year. No flagNo flagAllowNo actionChecked

They reject capitalism because nobody has been able to explain how individuals, acting to further their own self interests, can raise the economy of the entire population. To justify capitalism, capitalists have to rely on supernatural beliefs, such as the invisible hand.

In 2014 there were 310M guns and the homicide rate was 4.5, a rate not seen since the 1950s. More guns simply do not correlate with more violent crime and, as we all know, a lack of correlation does -disprove- causality. As for your comparison with "other countries," the US is actually quite low worldwide. There are a small group of countries we are usually compared to due to superficial economic similarities but, when you look at actual population, geography, demographics and cultural history, those countries are not particularly sound comparisons.

I smoked some good herb while I went to school and played grand theft auto till three am. Somehow I managed to finish an apprenticeship, see the world, and bring home enough to let my wife stay at home with the kids. Maybe it's because my parents taught me right from wrong, spanked me with a hand cut switch and made me earn my meals. Blame bad parenting. I will agree with you on that.

In BC a priest could end up legally common law married to a live in house keeper, of either gender, or to another priest, just by having the same address for more than the specified time. Catholic Priests have fathered children, not always with consent from the mother. Haven't you heard about that? Early Christians regarded marriage as a corrupt pagan custom. They lived communally. Early converts were expected to donate all their worldly possessions. Wasn't one couple that held back belongings stoned to death? No flagNo flagAllowNo actionChecked

As regards the right to housing, he Bill of Rights says “The state must take reasonable legislative and other measures, within its available resources, to achieve the progressive realisation of this right.” There are many different policy permutations to be considered to give effect to this injunction. Several have been tried and all have their down-sides. Currently the focus is on the state's role in making access to housing more affordable, rather than providing it free, which is unsustainable given the demand. Also free housing is almost always subjected to "down-market raiding" where the poor end up in shacks again and people ineligible for free housing, buying them at a fraction of the cost. As I said it is an enormously complex policy arena. No flagNo flagAllowNo actionChecked

I agree that the election of Trump likely says more about people's disaffection with the current political situation than it does about their endorsement of Trump's policies. Still, it is hard to ignore the decidedly right-wing tendencies of some his biggest supporters, for example Steve Bannon. So, while I agree that one can't label every supporter of Trump as far right, one also cannot ignore the fact that Trump pandered to that group while trying to get elected and seems to have some sympathy for them.
