    Jeremy Corbyn on the campaign trail is drawing a link between UK policy in the middle East and terror attacks at home.
    That's a brave electoral strategy and is a strong ant-establishment position. He's surging in the polls and is now only 5 points behind.

    Nothing, you can still go. Our schools are funded by property tax, provincial funding, and private donors. When you file your property tax you check off catholic or public then your taxes go to that school board. I think the tax rate is equal since the city sets the rates.

    If this doesn't convince you that the US needs to pull out of the Paris Accord, nothing will.

    Hilarious.

    Truth is though I wish DC would flood and wash away.

    Now that would be climate change worth encouraging.

    Hey, that is where I live. Just because a bunch of carpetbaggers from all over the country make their living here, it is not a bad place on its own.

    Was it the "Wanna feel old? This is *HANSON* now." that gave it away?

    Very clever. Yes, and that ugly one on the left. To be honest, I was thinking "Nicky's a nonno now, so he's old, he probably meant Olsen!"

    Cancellation[edit]

    On May 10, 2017, ABC canceled Last Man Standing after six seasons, despite the series being the second most-watched ABC sitcom during the 2016–17 season (based on Live+7 figures), with ratings remaining mostly steady during its sixth season.[41] A rep for 20th Century Fox TV said cancellation decisions are made by ABC. "This was a scheduling decision," wrote Jori Arancio, senior vice president of ABC Entertainment and ABC Studios. ABC and its production partner for the show, 20th Century Fox TV, typically negotiate licensing fees prior to each season; however, the network decided to cancel the show without doing so. Also, the contract between 20th Century Fox Television and ABC for the show, in which 20th Century Fox Television covered the cost of production, had expired after six seasons. Had the series been renewed for a seventh season, ABC would have been required to pick up Last Man Standing's production costs, which the network was unwilling to do.[42]

    The cancellation was met with outrage from the show's fans, many of whom took to social media to voice their displeasure and petition for another network to pick up the show.[43] It also happened some months after lead actor Tim Allen (who is also a real-life Republican) said in an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, possibly with tongue in cheek, that being a Republican in Hollywood is "like 1930s Germany. You gotta be real careful around here, you know. You'll get beat up if you don't believe what everybody believes." His comment was widely criticized, especially his comparing the treatment of Republicans in Hollywood with Nazi Germany. It was speculated that the series had been cancelled, because of his statements.[44]

    A viewer petition on the website Change.org calling for ABC to reinstate Last Man Standing surpassed 380,000 signatures as of May 23, 2017.[45] In a conference call with reporters earlier in May, ABC president Channing Dungey stated, "Last Man Standing was a challenging one for me, because it was a steady performer. Once we made the decision not to continue with comedy on Friday, it was just kind of that's where we landed." Dungey cited studio ownership, future creative direction, ratings and viewer engagement as all factors in her decision.[46]

    Tim Allen voiced his displeasure with the cancellation, tweeting on May 16: "Stunned and blindsided by the network I called home for the last six years."[47]

    On May 20, 2017, Howard Kurtzman, president of 20th Century Fox Television, reportedly showed some interest in his studio continuing to produce the show. "We're starting to explore that," Kurtzman said. "...[Fox Co-President] Jonnie [Davis] and I are hopeful that we can find another home for it."[48] Variety also confirmed in an exclusive report that 20th Century Fox Television is actively shopping the series to other networks and streaming services in hopes it will be picked up for a seventh season.[49]
