If you need some relief you are welcome to vacation in Canada. We have some great vacation spots.

No one has an obligation to run for President. That is the reason why you need a Universal System where you can't buy yourself to the top of a waiting list.

Yes, there are many issues. But at least with the waiting times the issues are shared by the rich and the poor alike.

As a Canadian, I wonder where are the marches against this. If this happened in France or Estonia, the Free Traders would be marching in the street in support of Free Trade.

I like how Pope Francis is framing the right to control borders in terms of the Universal Destination of Goods. Yes it is a right, but a subservient right to the common good of ALL people.

Or the local independent retailer. (I know that there are not too many of those generally left, but you can often find Ethnic food stores run by immigrants from other countries)

He needs to read "I was a stranger and you did not welcome me" and tremble.

Always impressed that our local Costco has several people working who have various physical disabilities. There is the person who helps in electronics in a wheelchair, the person with a deformed hand checking receipts, someone with a speech impediment at cash and training others.

Some of it is congressionally mandated, so he would need an act of congress not to send it. I agree that Biden should have done more to stop it - but this is not what excommunication is for.

I wonder why there would be a diocese with 6 bishops rather than just break that up into 6 dioceses' with a metropolitan ArchBishop overseeing them?

I think that there is a problem about seeing the spiritual in everything too. Ex. those that claim that Ouija board are always run by demons - when 99.9% of the time it is human psychology as has been tested in many experiments. Don't ascribe to the demonic that which is explainable humanly.

Pope Francis has spoken frequently about the war in Gaza, condemning it strongly and demanding humanitarian relief to the civilian population. Why would he threaten Biden with excommunication? That doesn't make sense to me.

If they happen to be found with a gun and are not part of the well ordered militia - then you can fine them and confiscate and destroy the gun.

Well, I will not vote for Trudeau because I think that he is a bully. I can not vote for the conservatives because of their acceptance of anti-science view points. Therefore, it looks like in the next election I will be voting NDP. If Trudeau resigns and there is another leader I may be persuadable.

I am hoping that Trudeau resigns and is replaced, then I may actually be able to vote Liberal. I will not vote Conservative because of their acceptance of anti-science views and I will not vote Liberal because Justin Trudeau is a bully. So unless he resigns I will vote NDP

Yes the State exists here. Why has Minnesota, California, Vermont, Hawaii or New York all democratic strongholds actually implement a universal health care? The problem is the politicians who enable these companies - and there was just an election that said it wasn't a priority.
December 13, 2024 at 9:33 PM
No, there were other alternatives that should have been implemented first - but we see that the American people have chosen not to actually go down that path. Where is the State that institutes its own universal health insurance plan and bars for profit insurance companies!
