what ??????!!! a false news report, how could that possibly happen

That's a terrible argument. Many people besides your parents paid taxes for you to go to school. Should you pay them back for your education? Seems fair if you're going to say only people with kids should pay school taxes. Amazing that people think only of the "now".

This woman fails to address many of the concerns that outsiders have about these events, such as: 1) I note that she speaks only about a son. Does she have a daughter? Is she OK that girls are not allowed to participate equally in these school sponsored events? What about trans-gendered or gay students? 2) It states: "The supervising teacher has to read through each sermon before it can be delivered, and my son assures me there is nothing “overly political or extreme.”". Well that's nice. Who is supervising the teacher on this? (It could be that they are the biggest instigators of controversial rhetoric.) And does not overtly political or extreme mean that it is somewhat political or extreme? Is the teacher present to ensure what was prepared is the same sermon that is being delivered? Would her son admit it if there was nasty rhetoric being preached? Would all of the various factions within Islam agree to this particular sermon? Too many unanswered questions for me.

They did not have a choice but currently they did break immigration laws, the Presidents who kept them here and the parents are at fault here. Fix the law, Obama and Trump gave an oath to uphold the law and should do so. Obama, Bush's and Clinton created a situation where these kids are put in a terrible situation. They are all to blame and Trump should follow the law as Congress wrote it. If for no other reason than to prevent this from happening again.

I don't blame the NDP for not rolling out subsidized daycare in their first year. Can we even afford to provide cheap daycare, based on reported income, when increasingly so many in metro Vancouver are choosing not to report money for taxation purposes? Problems abound in Quebec. Per a recent G+M report: "Quebec's public daycares are plagued by long waiting lists. Typically, well-off parents have learned how to game the system to snag limited spots, often to the detriment of less well-connected low-income families." Only 35% of kids are looked after in the coveted public system - the rest utilize the same family setting daycares that are so prevalent here in BC. The study concludes that the daycare system in Quebec is simply too expensive for what it delivers. The NDP needs to get this right, or this will be the fast ferry that sinks the NDP's chance of a second term.

Sadly, May and the Conservatives will bulldoze all opposition. The UK is in a bad way, largely because of Cameron and Farish, and things are going to get far worse as May gets free licence to destroy the place.

When traveling in County Donegal, Ireland a few years ago, we saw peat bogs being harvested - turf farming - for fuel. The locals told us that UNESCO had declared it 'illegal', but they said they didn't care. Actually, they did care - they were mad as hell that UNESCO assumed they had the right to declare their private property as 'biosphere preserves'. And then there is Venice, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Venice can't afford to repair its structures that have decayed due to pollution, because UNESCO insists they use original materials - which was marble mined in Croatia, which is far more expensive than Italian marble that could be used. The UNESCO bureaucrats won't back down on this, so Venice just continues to rot in place. It's not just pretentious Americans - it's pretentious One World bureaucrats .. UNESCO may have been a good idea, but it's become a double-edged sword for many countries. They like the 'Heritage' designations, they hate the bureaucracy.

I am proud to see Canada pick this brave woman for our $10 bill. I would like to suggest Louise d"Epinay for our next redesigned bill. She was French but the heritage of modern democracy has roots outside our borders. Louise d'Epinay was one of the great women of the Enlightenment. Louise d'Epinay hosted an enlightened salon and was partner of Melchoir Grimm. She offered J.J Rousseau a cottage on her estate as his home. Most of all she wrote numerous books and wrote many famous letters to the Abbe Galiani expressing many of the values we now identify and aspire to. Her writings expressed more enlightened views than those of J.J Rousseau and we owe her more recognition for the pioneering work she did in championing the rights and freedoms we enjoy.

Donald wants to 'own ' the free press. When he gets push back it's more bleating about it being unfair to Donald. Poor little Donald. In other words he's always mad at Media because they don't bow to him. Come one Motley, what kind of leadership tries to control, even intimidate the press? You want to put the power of the Presidency in this guy's hands? (His own party members have called him out more bluntly than most. SUE EM') I believe Britain works from a 'guilty until proven innocent' assumption. That may make a difference. Either way it does not seen to have changed the character of the press much. politics

Trump will not accept corruption. Enough said!!!

Run for Governor Dave. The left still doesn't get that there are two things that got Trump elected - 1) The majority of Americans hate Hillary and 2) The majority of Americans are fed up with the illegal invasion. We want to see our laws enforced and we are sick of being called racists because we want illegals sent packing. Denver is headed down the path to becoming the next Chicago - a city kidnapped by big spending Democrats who have to look right to see Karl Marx.

Flip flop Lisa. Always got your finger in the air testing the breeze instead being a person with conviction.

Why? And facts, actual policies and action rather than the usual crap...what has she done, or not done to discount her otherwise amazing record?

"U.S. POSITION ON EAST JERUSALEM: Official U.S. policy does not recognize Israel’s annexation of East Jerusalem. The official U.S. position is embodied in the U.S. Letter of Assurances to the Palestinians of October 1991, part of the official record of the Madrid Peace Conference. In part, it reads: [W]e do not recognize Israel’s annexation of East Jerusalem or the extension of its municipal boundaries, and we encourage all sides to avoid unilateral acts that would exacerbate local tensions or make negotiations more difficult or preempt their final outcome."

ahhh, nothing. good to know that medicaid expansion costs " nothing" . those tax dollars are suddenly free. exciting

how is $1m townhome affordable in the city where median family income in $70k?

It is not that Gabbard questions the strike - there are lots of things you can question (lack of congressional approval, lack of overall strategy, execution of said strike, etc), it is that she has defended Assad and even tried to cast doubt that he is guilty of war crimes. I think she feels ISIS is a threat to Hinduism in a way that Assad is not. I also think that much like her position on gays in the military, Gabbard is more than willing to adjust her stance if she thinks it will win her an election.

Since when is the ability to sue someone a "constitutional right?" Get a clue.

We all make choices every day. Some of those choices are made easily by those whose mind and body are functioning well and live in a peaceful and non-threatening atmosphere. Those are the easy choices. Others, however, live in an environment where good judgment is lacking, violence surrounds them, judgment is blinded by fear, and others are in despair. I am speaking here, now, of those who commit suicide, not those who kill from lack of respect for human life. A mother whose child was killed was asked if she could forgive the person who killed her child. She said that judging him was not her burden. That it was God's burden to bear. Someone chose to pull the trigger. They will be responsible for that before God. But our job is to try to see as God sees, with Mercy rather than judgment. We enter into the mystery of being human. God is always there. We need to be there, too. Grace always opens a path to joy, love and forgiveness. A path to God.

check their papers

So what if Kaveladze was at the meeting? He is a legal US resident who has a constitutional right to meet with anyone he pleases. Oh, but he is a Russian, which somehow makes his attendance nefarious in the warped minds of liberals.

You buy it. 4 ways, ESOP buy of privately held companies, union pension funds buying it, Social Security employer contributions shifted to buying it and if there is none available, issuing new stock directly to employees with pay.

"Oxycontin and Fentanyl are meant to control severe pain (such as cancer patients) and not for recreational drug use." No they are not. They are meant to make huge piles of cash on the backs of the suffering and desperate.

What Mosnef did was tip her hand that Justin never intended for this committee to be anything other then a farce or a sham intended to mislead Canadians into thinking that electoral reform was being approached in an objective manner. The committee didn't produce it's pre-scripted answer intended to support Justins tampering with democracy to clearly favour the LPC. This was nothing more then a naked fascist power grab and a gross affront to democracy for freedom loving Canadians. The writing is on the wall for Justin that Canadians just don't trust him to handle this fairly and competently. This is the most undemocratic political party in Canadian history, dishonest, unethical and manipulative.

What a great human being! And not a government program, just a person helping people, they way things worked before the liberal machine created big government social programs

This scam works for more than cars. I had a correspondence with an apparently rich Middle East buyer on and off for a couple of years. Finally they sent a cheque for $67,000 more than the agreed amount. Oops! A clerical mistake. Would I please send them the $67,000 back? I took their cheque into the bank and we had a good laugh about it. It was pinned to the bulletin board for a couple of years. These scammers have patience and highly developed communication skills and printing capabilities (certified cheque looked perfect). Do your homework and make sure the money is absolutely in the bank before you spend any of your own money. Cheers, John Meyer

Well, let's see: what party was the president from who tried to impose his liberal, secular, atheistic, humanistic views on the Catholic Church? What party of the two parties tends to trample religious rights--except of course when it comes to Muslims? (The Democrats love Muslims) It certainly isn't the Republican party. It is not the fault of the Catholic bishops that they support religious freedom while the Democratic party does not. The Democratic Party is obsessed with abortion--so---that makes them the party of death. Suppose we had a president who supports slavery, but otherwise wants to help the poor, and do everything else you claim the Democrats do. Would you say "Well, yes he supports slavery, but look at all the poor he wants to help! We should support him!" Same logic: abortion is fundamental. When the Democrats support the destruction of innocent human under the guide of women's rights and "choice" the rest of the good they stand for is irrelevant.

JZ: And this refutes my assertion that a sales tax is estimated to generate more revenue than an income tax how?

Hey Boots, where is the democratic tax plan?

Good comments by Mead Treadwell....who made a serious error when he decided to run for LT Governor instead of Governor...I believe had he ran for Governor he would have won the Primary and gone on to be elected our Governor and or State Political conversations would have been much different today....

It's not about a Trump Victory ....it's about meddling in the US's election process, How much easier can it be spelled out for people like you. Are you really that blind.

In regard to the "ring wing gun nuts" who haven't shot anyone . . . consider the gun nut Bundy followers who in 2014 shot and killed two police officers in Las Vegas: "The Las Vegas Sun reported that residents of the apartment building where the Millers lived said they 'had a reputation for spouting racist, anti-government views, bragging about their gun collection, and boasting that they’d spent time at Cliven Bundy’s ranch during a recent standoff there between armed militia members and federal government agents.'" Violent extremism, whether anarchist, liberationist, reactionary, fascist, racist or just plain crazy, is still violent.

Fact of the matter is that the tribal employee solved the case through seeing the suspect virtually in the act. That is what happened. The PI did not play a significant role.

But of course ... $1,500 is peanuts ... spoken as a true 1% 'er ...

referendums are not binding in Canada and our constitution. Unless parliament wants to change the laws.

"Just saw headlines on a couple of sites where Pres. Elect Trump is saying again that the election was rigged and that he would otherwise have also won the popular vote." I saw those stories as well. I've come across sore losers before, but Trump seems to be a sore winner.

Who cares? In all seriousness she, as with all Trudeau ministers , will be shuffled. Why? Simple, they're inexperienced in the field and well.... useless in every sense of the term. How can anyone think a lawyer would make a good environmental minster. In the end we the taxpayer have to deal with the mistakes of these incompetents.

PERA needs a haircut. Slash COLA until it is financially sound.

So Great they dumped the Guy in Philly.

that is our bully government for you

And so is yours. Where does that leave us now? by the way - didn't we adjudicate this two days ago? Why are you bringing it up now?

'Twould seem that trying to implement real change is not popular. First Trump, now Macron, join the "30's" club. Hang tough gentlemen, it's worth it.

All I am concerned about is her deceit. We can't have someone that tarnished, that abused their ill gotten position by omission. Had she worked at a message parlour to pay her tuition, we could be empathetic, but covering up her relatives crimes against humanity is wrong. For some reason when I think of her, the thought of Ernst Zundel keeps sparking neurons in my brain. Although he was an extremely dangerous man that got what he deserves. Holocaust denial is inexcusable. Denying your family members involvement in the Holocaust is understandable. That's the way the cookie crumbles. A chip off the old block. She accused Russia of deceit, when it was he inability to be forthcoming that brought us to this point where she no longer has anyone's confidence except her boss that appointed her without considering that matter because he was flying all over world building his following for the king of the world effort he is fixated upon.

Pray tell, what's uncivil about the following comment. It may not please people, but it's not uncivil. The Mass isn't "to represent Jesus...." it's to put us in the actual presence of Jesus. Since we have this gift and ability, shouldn't we offer Jesus our best, what the "wise men" offered, which includes gold?? We shouldn't be ashamed to offer Jesus our absolute best and highest. Would we give our wife a mere cinderblock?

Is this the best argument that the writer of this article can make?

Bey, better a unilingual Bostonion than another Bilingual Quebecois!!

This is the "anniversary" NCR is celebrating today, The modernist JP II catechism? Not a peep about the 100th anniversary of our Lady's final apparition to the seers. Then again that might cause some folks to actually acknowledge that the totality of the Third Secret has not been disclosed.

So, don't tar all liberals as gun grabbing anti-Christian socialists.

BP should disclose the Client Mandate who signed it and the invoices and who it was sent to. They can also disclose where they received their money from as the monthly retainer.

Technological improvements!

Nenshi will win handsomely. "Simple Bill" Smith, the stooge of the property developers and the owners of the Calgary Flames, has demonstrated that he has no concept of the modus operandi of municipal governance. Indeed, he was declared incompetent as a lawyer after failing to ensure funds provided for a renovation project were protected. Smith reminds me of Klein: put in place to serve an influential group's interests.

Oh, come on. No dogs were "snatched off their leashes." That simply did not happen. The dogs attacked by the Richardson pack were off-leash and wandering. A group of walkers subsequently were stalked by the wolf pack but their dogs were not "snatched off of leashes."

Lie detector anyone?

This article wrongly fed the hype that this year is the most this or that, when in fact it's just more of the same dominance of one or two champion franchises per year, which the NBA has done for decades. The only reason to watch the Finals is for appreciating the sheer beauty of great, top bball skills that are fun to watch. Yeah, a game or series can have some fun and/or exciting internal drama/storylines, but the lack of true parity is sad and unfair. The only solution would be a wholesale swap lottery of the top 30 players, redistributed randomly, since the league loves moronic lotteries so much. That would create real parity! Kidding, but almost serious, though I know that would never happen.

If a News person dies for ratings are we suppose to cry or cheer ? Get away from the storm you idiots!!!!!!!!!!!

At least he donesn’t get his fake news from the russians, lol

I got a better idea to determine the state baseball champion. Just to help ensure the best team (St Louis) wins. Make it a 4 team state tournament. OIA champ, ILH champ, and Maui and Hawaii Island champ. make it double elimination. The last 2 standing play a best of 3. Makes you wonder how Punahou ever won 7 straight state baseball championships. Then they ran their coach Eric Kadooka (hill on the corner) out of town when he didn't win a 8th consecutive state championship. Officially he "retired" from coaching.

Pro-Sharia DNC embraces this anti-Semitic conduct to the delight of their Marxist base.

HB 247 and the oil glut will put Alaskan oil producers out of work! Parnell is that what you want? Do you know anyone that has been laid off work in the oil industry? Maybe you have family or friends that want more discoveries like Prudhoe Bay using these important incentive and credits? The oil explorers have found new oil under these incentives why stop development with HB 247? Remember the facts, you would have nothing if it was not "given to you" by uncle Sam at statehood and the Alaskan oil producers! Why lay off Alaska's oil workers when they are drilling for the next 40 years of free Permanent fund money for you! The tactic J.Frank uses is called "turning the tables"! Why not enjoy more Permanent Fund money and let the oil workers of Alaska produce another 19 Billion barrels and 8 Trillion Cubic Feet of Gas and allow these incentives and earned credits keep finding new oil! Alaska's oil worker recently found lots of new oil & gas all over Alaska, are you not aware?

I worked as a Presidential Management Intern under Reagan and Bush on the Air Staff and at Wright Patterson. Not in the White House. As for the Office of the C.A., I coordinated all public safety matters for the City Administrator, who was the Deputy Mayor in charge of running the government. My duties included management reform analysis, overseaing the Office of Emergency Preparedness and did anything having to do with that representing the Mayor's Office (including table top exercises for snow emergencies), helping the Mayor draft testimony on the management reform process to Congress, as well as additional-funding requirements, working with Congress on urgent items having to do with congressional earmarks, analyzing and recommending employee appeals on payroll and other issues to the Deputy Mayor, when the Mayor does a public event, dealing with constituent action items (I had more to do than public safety), putting together the selection process for the new chief of police, etc.

Yawn, very dramatic.

Another frustrated juvenile response, naked.

And, once again, what happened to the previously posted comments on this article?

....and you, like me, aren't afraid to use your real name.

>>It is reprehensible for the anti-abortion Senate majority to eliminate access to birth control, one of the most reliable means of pregnancy prevention. So now the republicans are responsible for keeping people out of drug stores?

How quickly the partisans forget their hero's faults! " This administration has prosecuted more whistle-blowers for leaks and gone after more journalists than any of its predecessors. In a report last year, Leonard Downie Jr., the former executive editor of The Washington Post, said the administration’s efforts to crack down on information seeping to journalists were “the most aggressive” since President Richard Nixon was in office." "In unprecedented criticism of the White House, 38 journalism groups have assailed the president's team for censoring media coverage, limiting access to top officials and overall “politically-driven suppression of the news.” In a letter to President Obama, the 38, led by the Society of Professional Journalists, said efforts by government officials to stifle or block coverage has grown for years and reached a high-point under his administration despite Obama's 2008 campaign promise to provide transparency."

Sometimes it's the way you say it. Just as Obama's arrogant and sanctimonious delivery alienated many people Trump's bombastic and combative style is doing the same.

Thank you, I agree.If my daughters are intruded upon while in any public bathroom, no matter what condition, type, gender, paperwork, mood , sex, the perp may be, they will be stopped, and dealt with quickly

Marty, have you come up with an answer to my question about abortion to save the life of the mother yet?

"That is the lesson Trump pere and Trump fils are about to learn". Prions nous. Oremus. Let us pray. Why pray? Because fact, reason, justice and consequence are not givens.

All the top rated health care systems are symbiotic hybrid public/ private systems.....all the evidence points in that direction...unfortunately this present Canadian monopolistic monopsonic has developed a near religious status despite its increasing dysfunctionality, instability and poor delivery.

Je me souviens. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/harper-has-lost-the-moral-authority-to-govern-says-former-pmo-lawyer/article26864767/ If anyone's morals or lack thereof need any slamming, it would be the worst PM in Canadian history.

You don't have to be an ideologue to understand that the EPA managed their scientific advisory boards with a built-in conflict of interest, having grant recipients heavily represented on their advisory boards. This is the proverbial self-licking ice cream cone. Most media outlets, including the AP and the Denver Post, have consistently demonstrated bias in reporting on this EPA advisory board reshuffling, because they don't mention conflict of interest until the end of the story. Readers understand conflict of interest in government, which apparently only exists for corporate interests since it's buried deep in this story.

As I said, with Cartel killers raping our women and killing kids maybe it's time to show them true justice, no matter what the SJW warriors believe about our justice system (America began by shooting Redcoats in the face)

Hillary is gone. So sad. Mission accomplished. Time to go play golf.

Well Said.. /..

Diversity is an Orwellian word meaning "Ethnic conflict." Somebody in the deep state decided America would be a better place if we were at war with each other.

What a bunch of socialist tripe! The eight global wealthiest are: Gates, Ortega, Buffett, Slim, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Ellison, and Bloomberg. They all build their wealth from scratch, donate billions to charities, and directly or indirectly employ hundreds of thousands of people. Oxfam and their socialists counterparts would rather we were all equal - and living in the dirt!

"His comments rankled many Africans. Since the beginning of the colonial era, they've seen Western companies journeying to Africa to exploit its resources and labour. Even the more recent Western investments in the African mining and oil sector are often resented. They are perceived as reaping profits without paying sufficient taxes or royalties, leaving Africans still struggling in poverty. This perception is compounded in countries like South Africa and Tanzania, where foreign investors have been accused of looting. The controversial Gupta brothers, who migrated from India, have allegedly taken huge profits from South Africa in covert deals with politically connected officials at state-owned enterprises." --------------------- Africans need to look in the mirror if they want to reap more rewards from foreign investment. Don't blame foreign investors for local problems. Want to reap more taxes and royalties? Crack down on government corruption.

Why are the democrats so against talking (debate) about improving health care? Even most Democrats admit that Obamacare need improving... so why are they against participating in trying to improve it???

To turn off the roaming prompts, have you tried turning off data roaming and manually selecting Rogers as your phone's network instead of letting it auto select a preferred network which will likely be whatever is the strongest signal it finds, which is obviously going to be a problem near the border? Also, have you done your due diligence on which carrier has the best coverage/signal around your house. You can google up a map of where each carrier's cell towers are. I see way more Telus towers around Ocean Park vs Rogers. If you are finding you are getting dead zones of coverage after config'ing your settings specifically for Rogers, you should continue to report it as it's a coverage gap instead of your phone getting confused as to what network it should latch onto or change to a carrier that has a tower closer to your home.

Always a good thing when you get the opportunity to pay less to feel miserable.

Here is a very good and sober look at this issue! See: https://www.nratv.com/home/video/wayne-lapierre-we-are-fighting-for-reciprocity

Ok. Prove it.

Wow, 2 days in a row...Any word on that Bill Maher exercise you were working on over the weekend???...#MAGA

Sustained yield is mandatory under Alaska's Constitution and is the management tool for this renewal resource. Utilization and good harvest strategy will create a renewed industry that is in Alaska's best interest. NOT a Endangered Species Act or cultural protection period. Governor should declare a disaster eminently giving reason to create new wealth!. Are you visioning anything Governor or stuck on a pipedream?

Once you hab fans exhaust the rationalization stage of making bargains that are none existent, the quicker you can move to despair

...or have enough money to buy yourself a seat on a one-way ticket to Mars.

These people are clueless. The health care bill will change NOTHING regarding Medicaid for the disabled. It just wants to reduce the EXPANSION of medicaid for higher earning people. That is the way it was before Obamacare and still is for the states that didn't enroll in Medicaid "expansion". How come you didn't protest years BEFORE Obamacare was enacted?

As of this year all Uber drivers had to register for HST numbers so if they don't pay their taxes they'll be an easy target for the CRA.

Reading the mans history on CNN-has 100% ZERO to do with gun control and normal people. More so, under Texas law, he never should have been allowed to buy one gun, much less two. This is a background check problem, not a gun owner problem. It is as CNN reported: [...] ​"a history of violent behavior is a far better predictor of future violence than mental illness," Duke University professor Jeffrey Swanson - 2012 [...] Kelley admitted to hitting his stepson on the head and body "with a force likely to produce death or grievous bodily harm." The injuries fractured the young boy's skull and caused internal bleeding, Christensen told CNN ... He was originally charged with assault and battery against his spouse, aggravated assault against his stepson and four charges involving firearms, including two of pointing a loaded firearm at his wife and two of pointing an unloaded firearm... www.cnn.com/2017/11/06/us/devin-kelley-texas-church-shooting-suspect/index.html

Land that was so obligingly vacated by the previous occupants in 1913? The vast bulk of economic growth in the post WWII era was in the urban economy and SA was no exception. Black SAns were comprehensively barred from migrating to towns and cities, with exceptions for male migrant labourers. The cost to the Black population of this exclusion from the benefits of urbanization is incalculable, while the effects of the breakdown of family units can still be seen today. Do I really need to list all of it and do you truly believe that there is any form of equivalence in suffering/deprivation? Nuff said!

I've gotta agree. I was initially excited he was coming back, but after further review, I realize he probably looked so good before, because Manning was calling his own plays..

That was my exact thought too...what timely reporting. We were trying to get through the area yesterday and the road was closed down and that was hours after it happened. We checked the site and nothing, no news on it. We had to check the state travel site to find out what was going on. What news source did you use? That aside, I'm glad there were no fatalities in the wreck because it looked pretty bad.

Today is 31 May. You need to be off the weed a bit longer before commenting.

Good man.

Whenever anyone says to me "the South will rise again", I tell them "if that happens, then the rest of the country will beat them again".

You know? I've been listening to your silliness for a couple of years. All of your buzz-words; "beak dipping" "Kool-aid" and I haven't heard anything of substance. When was the last time YOU made a decision that benefitted some people and had the possibility of harming others? When was the last time you actually did anything? Did you even go out and run this morning? Did you say "Hi" to your neighbor? Think not. You were up at 0100 waiting to spew venom. Suggestion: Try getting a real life.

When I saw the phrase 'a report on Steve Bannon's appearance at the CPAC' I immediately and incorrectly assumed that it would be about his physical appearance. As I've watched him these last couple months I've become convinced that there is something very wrong with him physically, based on his facial appearance, and that it may be the cause of his demented philosophical ravings. He appears to overindulge in something, God knows what.

"I prefer bigots to be visible so they can be held accountable."??? So identify yourself!
