He is a decent actor, but he attacked and Asian man with an iron rod and inflicted permanent damage in a racist attack.

There are many societal parallels between Canada and Finland. Where did you get the statistic that Finland is the third richest country in the world? I have worked in the justice system and unpaid fines typically result in jailing- the courts do not take the ignoring of court-imposed fines lightly. If the miscreants have to be pursued for repayment of fines, the next time they appear in court, they go directly to jail.

Bolsonaro faces ‘crimes against humanity’ charge over COVID-19 mishandling A Brazilian congressional panel has recommended that President Jair Bolsonaro be charged with “crimes against humanity" over his alleged bungling of the country's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The near-1,200 page report, formally presented on Oct. 20, 2021, holds Bolsonaro culpable for worsening a crisis that has to date killed some 600,000 Brazilians, outlining how his failed policies allowed the virus to spread among the population. The president denies any wrongdoing. An earlier draft had called for Bolsonaro to be indicted for homicide and genocide as well, given how the ravages of the coronavirus have disproportionately hit Brazil's Indigenous groups. But those charges were dropped from the final report. Since the beginning of the pandemic, The Conversation's authors have been chronicling the crisis in Brazil – and Bolsonaro's role in letting it happen.

I thought it was the European Soccer league.

Hope you are aware that before you will be let back into Canada, you will both have to produce a recent negative test.

It looks like Scheifele is going to sat out due to a positive COVID test. We're probably gonna see if this iteration has grit or if they will sleepwalk through another game. The last game was not exciting- it was infuriating and frustrating to watch them blow a two goal lead with six minutes to go. Hellebuyck has not been sharp.

There is encouraging news from research that indicates the researchers are close to developing for ALL the COVID variants.

Quite telling that Harper thought highly enough of Bernier to appoint him to such a prestigious post.

Not really- in Finland, this has been the case for several years and is well liked.

FWIW-WTF, Scorpios?

Not a fan of Mark Wahlberg.

Ain't no such thing as normal in Alberta. Unless you assume that acting like Alabama is normal. FYI: today the death rate per 100,000 in Saskatchewan was the highest in the country, and most US states,

There is almost always an exception to rules. Brady will simply be a little later in his retirement. I pity him with all that money and a gorgeous wife to fall back on.

Further to Wilder's situation: its been proven again and again that talent is not enough. He will not be missed- the only ones to suffer from him being cut will be his family and community in the US. Then we can do without him if needed. He would have to be darned good to crack the lineup.

If its structural damage to Harris' knee, he's done for the year, and bringing another NI running back would make sense. Especially if he's a good one. Harris has more days behind him than in front of him and retirement is inevitable for all players.

Reports about her problematic behaviour on set were circulating for months before she was canned.

In the media, this is called "throwing red meat".

Are you sure that is not a Sun op-ed?

Do not lump all followers of the Christ into one. Most of us are decent people who care about our friends and neighbours and use His teachings to guide our lives, our conduct with others and the world we all share. Again, there is a small but vocal and annoying minority who use their beliefs to justify no end of doing harm to others and aggrandizing themselves as somehow morally superior. There are similar people within Jewish communities (Lev Tahor), Mennonites (Old Order) as well as Muslim and even Buddhist.

Far-right website claims that Christians should see dying from COVID as ‘a good thing’ Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the MAGA movement and far-right Christian fundamentalists have downplayed its severity — inspiring critics to slam MAGA as a suicidal "death cult." Christian fundamentalist Joy Pullmann, in a shocking op-ed published by the far-right website The Federalist on the day of Gen. Colin Powell's death, argues that Christians should welcome death from COVID-19, like any other cause of death, as "a good thing." And she attacks the "pagan assumptions" of those who argue in favor of widespread vaccination. "For Christians, death is good," Pullmann writes. "Yes, death is also an evil — its existence is a result of sin. But thanks be to God, Jesus Christ has redeemed even death. In his resurrection, Christ has transformed death into a portal to eternal life for Christians…. The Christian faith makes it very clear that death, while sad to those left behind and a tragic consequence of human sin, is now good for all who believe in Christ." Of course, not all Christians share Pullmann's view that the deaths of the COVID-19 pandemic — which has killed more than 4.9 million people worldwide, according to Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore — are "a good thing." Countless Catholic and Mainline Protestant churches have tried to keep their members alive by encouraging vaccination, protective face masks and social distancing. And pastors in the African Methodist Episcopal Church have gone out of their way to help people in the Black community find COVID-19 vaccines. But as Pullmann sees it, churches that have encouraged social distancing and tried to prevent their members from dying from COVID-19 have behaved sinfully. Pullmann writes, "To forsake assembling for worship also breaks the Third Commandment, 'Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy'…. It is time for Christians individually and corporately to repent for the way we and our institutions responded to the COVID-19 outbreak. Our refusal to preach and obey the clear teachings of the Bible amid the world's panic have betrayed Our Lord. Thanks be to God, there's a way out for us." Pullmann argues, "Our Christian heritage also rejects the avoidance of death at any cost by venerating the millions of martyrs we honor precisely for choosing to confess Christ despite the indescribable costs to them of comfort, health and life itself."

But who would be the holder?

Surprised that Ford managed to go this long without saying something stupid.

Good. He ought to be sentenced to community service on the COVID CCU ward. And the church ought to be chained shut until the pandemic is over.
