What an absolute crock!

ISIS terrorists are losing the fight in Syria and those who choose to flee rather than die will become ‘refugees’ unwanted in any nation.  A temporary ban on refugees is prudent.

The string of el Assad atrocities is long and stomach churning. The barbarism shown by both el Assad and ISIS is breathtaking. 

The bleating over US having broken international laws is hilarious – the use of chemical weapons is not against international law?

If the Useless Nations general assembly was to pass a resolution condemning el Assad’s actions and demanding action, how is a Russian veto any less odious?

No nation that stands by and allows this barbarity to be visited on innocent civilians has clean hands.

Juan Cole is pointing fingers and screaming loudly but offers no solution to an intolerable situation. The article is a useless piece of tripe.

===================================
From: Glen Harewood
Joe:
RE:   " BELOW(30)(30)(30)" Johns Feldsted's  missive about High Mileage Government announcements.

"....Social infrastructure is a new leftist term for their beloved socialism. The term includes all manner of structure that underpins welfare including thousands of non-profit volunteer agencies. What is disturbing is that both education and welfare are under provincial jurisdiction. Why is the federal government meddling?"

"Prime Minister announces support for high-quality, affordable child care across the country"
Failure to see  or understand what points he is trying to make, other than to proffer the past government's regressive "Action Plan," where  tax payers' money was  squandered on advertising announcements of government's programmes, on some of which there was never any "action."
 If my memory serves me correctly, Paul Martin Jr. had proposed a comprehensive country-wide child care plan which the Harper governance reversed when they first formed the government in 2006.

Many of us know of the separation of powers delineated in Sections 91 and 92 of the British North America Act (BNA), and I do not think that such jurisdictional powers were superseded or eliminated  by the 1982 Charter. We also know that for a Canadian Federation to work co-operatively, there must, or should be give-and-take in all areas where Federal and provincial jurisdiction intersect.

 Such jurisdictional, "inter-sectional" co-operation is seen in portfolios, to name a few, Health, Justice, Transportation, where the Federal government sets policy for the country as a whole, and the individual provinces administer/carry out their own health, justice, and transportation programmes. Similarly, for Canadian Income Tax collection.

It is, therefore,  rather disturbing to read that the federal government is meddling in the provinces' programmes of education and welfare! It is true that education and Social welfare programmes are administered by the provinces. But does the Federal government  not transfer to the provinces, large sums of income tax funds that it collects, on behalf of the provinces, to administer such programmes? And should there not be co-operation between the two levels of government?

Is the federal government "meddling" in provincial jurisdictions when it TRANSFERS such payments to the provinces? Are we  Ontario Canadians, Manitoba Canadians, Quebec Canadians, Alberta Canadians, OR Canadians???

 When we travel abroad,  and present our passport, does it indicate  that we are  a federal Canadian or a provincial Canadian, or merely Canadian?Glenn Harewood
