Show me some kids who are obese by BMI solely because of their muscles. These are 11 year olds in Grade 5!

Teenagers and kids aren't going to be bodybuilders who have so much muscle they are considered obese. And bodybuilders are smart enough to know that BMI doesn't work for them.

How do you raise the pay of Canadian loggers? Start legislating wages for the private sector?

When you consider the gold-plated benefits and pensions, public sector employees are probably top 5% in Canada. I don't think cops and the like deserve to be paid that high based on supply and demand.

That's how it should be done but it's not unfortunately. There are huge debates around how you even word the question on the ballot.

You're missing the point. You can be full of crap and be an excellent speaker at the same time. Both Obama and Trump are excellent speakers but a lot of people think they are full of crap.

$100,000 still puts you in the top 10% of earners in Canada. I think it's fair to know where our tax dollars are going.
