    Why do american white evangelicals love Donald Trump?

    Jump

  • The Kingdom, The Power, and The Glory has a good dive on how they've squared that circle.

    There's some who see the threat to Christianity as being so high they must make a deal with the devil to save it.

    Some say God works through flaws men.

    Some think it's all lies spread by enemies of Christianity.

    They've also all got an idolatrous view of the faith where America and the flag are synonymous with Christianity.

  • WATCH: D.C. mayor Bowser calls Trump takeover of DC police ‘unsettling’

  • Wait until he pardons Maxwell. That's why he's getting them in place.

  • Doug Ford floats notwithstanding clause in Toronto bike lanes case | The Narwhal

    Jump

  • Section seven is subject to it.

    It's mainly stuff related to elections that can't be overruled since the remedy to misusing it is supposed to come at the ballot box.

  • Doug Ford floats use of notwithstanding clause in Toronto bike lanes case

    Jump

  • Doug is worse IMO. Rob had his demons but he at least wanted to help, even if he wasn't effective. Doug is all about getting power and helping his donors.

  • NDP donations have cratered, records show — and the finances only get worse

  • They had no choice but to play nice with them.

    They could have stood up for their principles. But they didn't, so they voted for strike breaking instead.

    "Oh but then the Conservatives would win!"

    Yes, and they'd have an effective fundraising foil instead of being seen as the little brother to the LPC. They chose to win the battle and lose the war.

    Give'em a majority and see what happens.

    They've done nothing to earn it, nor given me any confidence they'd know what to do with one.

  • Canada’s hockey case raised questions about toxic culture – so why did the accuser end up on trial?

    Jump

  • We are talking about a criminal trial, aren't we? The express purpose is finding the guilt of the accused.

  • City of Toronto says it's seriously considering a zoning change to allow small businesses in residential areas

    Jump

  • These are corner stores in a dense city, not a Costco in the middle of a subdivision. No one is driving to these stores.

  • Me too, man

    Jump

  • It's nuts to me that American schools start so early. Ours had first bell around 8:30. By high school is was closer to nine.

  • 'Pierre's riding to lose': Candidates in Alberta byelection met for debate

    Jump

  • It would be hilarious if he lost but he probably won't.

    I remember voting against Ignatiaff years ago when he got parachuted into my riding.

  • Workers are being priced out of Toronto. Can we reverse course?

    Jump

  • Tecumseth has, and Ottawa hasn't yet but they're making all the right noises, including calling deregulation "really far left" (as a bad thing)

  • Workers are being priced out of Toronto. Can we reverse course?

    Jump

  • Can we? Yes. Will we? If the way cities have been turning down federal money for relaxing regulations is a sign, then no we won't.

  • South Park targets Paramount after signing $1.5bn deal and skewers Trump: ‘He can do anything to anyone’

    Jump

  • Lol give your balls a tug there bud

    Mod is asking if an American show about an American politician is relevant to Canada

  • Canada should follow U.K.'s initiative to lower voting age to 16, says senator

    Jump

  • No, we shouldn't. More voting isn't necessarily better. It's similar to the arguments people make for mandatory voting, which is also a bad idea.

    We don't need more noise in the voting process.

    If anything I'd want to restrict the franchise to people with a certain level of knowledge but I don't think it's possible to do that in a just way.

  • Poilievre calls for law to block long ballot protests ahead of Alberta byelection

    Jump

  • I agree, it's a hard problem to solve because the people who get into power with the current system have the least incentive to change it.

  • Canadian border agents seize 70 kg of suspected cocaine at Osoyoos, B.C., crossing

    Jump

  • We should tarrif them to cover the costs of our border security with these Dangerous and Malicious Foreigners!

  • Trump Kept Gold Club World Cup Trophy for Himself So FIFA Had to Give the Winners a Replica

    Jump

  • This is one of those "an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" sort of situations.

  • Ontario colleges lose nearly 10,000 jobs, and face cancellation or suspension of more than 600 college programs.

    Jump

  • Sucks for those involved, but it was a bubble built on a flood of international students. It was never sustainable.

  • The Trump Administration Is Planning to Use AI to Deny Medicare Authorizations

    Jump

  • It would, but how are they going to grift off of that?

  • There's always money for the military. But climate?

    Jump

  • Always? We've been underfunding our military for generations. This new spending is badly needed catch up to get us functional.
