Even fundamental rights have limitations. My right to swing my fist is limited by your right not to get punched. My right of going anywhere I choose is limited by your private property rights. My right to speech is limited by your right not to have a bull horn in your ear deafening you. Note that the first amendment only applied to Congress as the writers considered that it was up to the States to place limits on speech. The idea being that restrictions would be done at a more local level. Noise by-laws at the lowest level to restrict how loud your speech can be. Fraud, slander and such at the State level. In a sense all rights are also privileges as they are all limited in one sense or another, usually when they interfere with others fundamental rights. The question is always how to balance conflicting rights. Are your free speech rights more important then my right not to be defrauded? It's a difficult problem.
and the Conservatives have already ensured that scientists (who receive any funding from the government) doing research cannot talk about it with the media - or publish their results - without getting government approval, particularly if the research has anything to do with climate change.
They were talking about this on the CBC the other day. Namely interviewed an American scientist who had worked with Canadian government scientist(s) on arctic ice levels. He was pissed as the Canadian government was stopping him from publishing and as he said, the worse the American government does is make him add a disclaimer, not officially the opinion of the US government or such. Anyways they also interviewed the minister in charge of stifling science and he kept trying to argue that it was all about protecting IP and it has always been done this way. Remember when Harper preached the most open government ever?
The car was modified for a disability. I don't know how but I had a friend who was paraplegic so had hand control, push for throttle, pull for brake. The hand controls may be setup in such a way that it is possible a malfunction has the brake operating the throttle.
Well biological intelligent design is pretty well a fact. Dogs are one good example, wheat another. Then of course there is whatever Monsanto has been designing. I don't see any problem with teaching how for the last 10,000 odd years we've been designing organisms.
You need nitrogen to grow plants in a form that plants can take up. You also need a couple of feet minimum of radiation shielding if those plants are going to live long enough to be useful. Of course people are even more sensitive to radiation exposure so more feet of radiation shielding. Simplest is dirt, so you need heavy machinery to burrow into Mars, a means of powering that machinery etc. Might be possible to find caves but have to be lucky to have easily accessible water in the same location. As Mars has approximately the same land area as the Earth the first step is lots of exploration to find some ideal places to even attempt a colony.
When was the last time that the Senate actually killed a bill that a majority government wanted? Remember NAFTA? The GST? Mulroney appointing a bunch of new senators to shove his laws through? The electorate wiping out the PCs? Harper is a smart politician so pretends the Senate has more power then it does.
Well the dollar has been at par for a few years now without prices coming down and our current conservative government has gutted the regulations with the promise that it will be good for business and prices haven't come down. The story seems to be that they charge more because they can, much like gas going up 24 cents a liter today compared to Saturday.
These companies do the same with the Canadian market (costs are usually 30% higher) where we do have the same standards as America. Usually these companies don't bother to fix their spelling and often measure things in US units.
By that logic, inflation was negative between 1979 when IIRC gold peaked at about $1000 and 2002 or whenever gold bottomed out at $250. Same with oil, price goes up and down but both have one thing in common, without increases in production they're having to be split between more people.
Don't you mean that it was about getting land for free? King proclaims that the native Americans are equal subjects and a bunch of land speculators freaked out, riled up the common people and revolted. It was a horror story for those people who lived on that land and it was also a nightmare for quite a few other people who were declared sub-human.
The problem is that the founding fathers had no experience with an actual violent revolution. They successfully waged a war of separation and won their independence but never even got within 3000 miles of the capital of the Empire, little well dispose the King. Violent revolution always seems to go bad and even non-violent revolution often ends up worse then pre-revolution.
Has to be for terrorism related reasons and there's probably a rule that by definition a senator or representative is not a terrorist. Government usually excepts themselves from this kind of thing.
Yes, there's that, why count the most basic needs? Another scam is to change the contents of the 'basket' that they use. Substitute hamburger for steak and you can show the price of meat has dropped. As someone who has to budget, my observation is that food prices generally are increasing much faster then inflation.
Overall inflation measures many things including automobiles (generally dropping in price), TVs (Considered to be dropping in price as when screen size doubles at a price point it is considered half the price), computers and related devices (Computer is faster with more ram and larger HD, similar with phones etc so price dropped even if the price went up marginally). Now all these are things that are not bought frequently if at all. Meanwhile the important stuff like food is getting more expensive all the time. This is easily noticeable if you're poor enough to have to keep track of prices. Other necessities are similar. So in summary, toys are getting cheaper which is great if you're well off. Stables and necessities are going up in price much faster then the stagnant wages which is horrible if you're not well off.
Once the Conservative government considers the usefulness of this software on the oppositions computers and the usefulness of it on voters computers so they know how to target those voters they'll ram it through.
The Canadian government wouldn't put up with spyware being on their devices either though they would love it on the oppositions devices. This may be the carrot that gets it passed, this government is the most undemocratic government in memory, don't even call themselves the Government of Canada anymore, just Harpers government. There will probably be a disable switch only known to the government and shared with friendly governments which hopefully will leak out.
The Russians are building submarines and ice breakers as fast as they can and they're all being stationed in the northern sea. Of course we're pretty well as helpless against the Russians as the Americans. When you're outnumbered by at least 10 to 1 in both manpower and equipment...

Well with any luck, the lawyers can argue about the wording for a long time while nothing actually gets done.
The evidence seems to point to animals coming from 2 organisms merging into one. Same with plants though different organisms apparently.
Well biological intelligent design is pretty well a fact. Dogs are one good example, wheat another. Then of course there is whatever Monsanto has been designing.

Or to catch those horrible terrorists.

The US civil war was another war of separation.
Wasn't that before the Bill of Rights was added? Can't break the 4th amendment before it exists.
The problem is that the founding fathers had no experience with an actual violent revolution. They successfully waged a war of separation and won their independence but never even got within 3000 miles of the capital of the Empire, little well dispose the King.

They don't seem overly worried about all the fake Chinese chips showing up in our respective air forces.

Where in the US constitution does it say that it only applies to American citizens (not counting voting rights)?
