There was a time when Scientific American was focused on science, and not ideologically-driven spin in the name of social justice.

Hydrocarbons remain necessary for modern life.
Cigarettes and alcohol do not.

A symbol of a terrorist organization that launched a heinous attack on a Canadian ally and calls for the removal of Jewish people from their homeland does indeed have no place in a Canadian legislature.

81% of parents with school-age children agree, according to a recently released Angus Reid poll.
You can fight with the NDP for the 12% who don't support parental notification and perhaps the 7% who "aren't sure."

You know what makes me angry?
1. Pushing back the election date a few days so that more Liberals and NDP MPs can continue to feed at the trough through lifetime pensions, then riding things out well in the knowledge that they are not supported by Canadian voters.

@MarcMillerVM
When I hear the term "far right extremist," I immediately think "average Canadian" because of how dishonest our media framing is.
I know nothing about this group or protest, but I'm inclined to believe it's another case of far-left extremist media mischaracterization.

I suppose as Trudeau's chief of staff, you are quite expert with bending the truth to political purposes and misleading representations of reality.
Thank you for your contribution.

Be careful of supporting authoritarian tendencies by the government.
When it's the side you disfavour, authoritarian impulses are pretty frightening.

This may be the first time a Liberal other than Housefeather or Mendocino has acknowledged this. It's been going on for 6 months and has been tacitly endorsed by your caucus colleagues and coalition partners.

Small tip: you need more white space and paragraph breaks.

The Trudeau government will let you protest anything under the sun, and cause no end to disruptions, except for one thing: protesting them.
They've been 'us vs them' from the start. I've had enough of it.

No interest. The bank buys the house for you and sells it back to you for more over time, or something similar, to avoid interest.

The median couple with children makes even more at $133,600 (source below), so would lose more (all?) of the CCB.
This would make it seem like most middle class families don't really benefit from any of these government benefits.

Ed, the illegal suspension of Canadian rights via the EA invocation, contrary to reasonableness and the charter, is an authoritarian action, even if our form of government is democratic.

Two steps forward one step back. You've tried to change things faster than the Canadian people can bear. We, the voters, will decide ultimately, and most of us will be voting to go 'backward' to times of greater prosperity.

A part of capital gains can be no more than inflation, that's one reason to tax it at a lower rate.
