From a prominent poster:

"Not sure why our friendly neighbourhood Your Leafs reporter's all over Ovechkin, he's outplayed Matthews, though, or at worst it's even."

They both have 3 points in the playoffs.  So how has Ovechkin outplayed Matthews?  Of course, this poster provided no back up or analysis to justify his statement.  Just more Leaf hating drivel with no substance.  Par for the course for this poster.


Trump winning AK is obviously going to happen.  You really think he's going to win the Presidency?How's that going to make you feel when he doesn't?


Measure 5


So do I... Logging, mining, trapping, trophy hunting, seal hunting, bounty on Bald eagles... The good old days!


Jimmy Carter was a nuclear scientist and the commander of a nuclear submarine. He came into office with a top secret clearance and appreciated and used the intelligence briefings before and during his term in office. You tell us why trump refuses the briefings and questions the validity of the FBI, CIA and the 16 other intell orgs consensus that Russia interfered in our elections and especially to help him win why doncha. It's one thing to twitter about a teen aged girl or union president who he perceived as dissing him but for gods sake what is wrong with a man who questions the validity of the information being presented to him by all our intell agencies?


We have friends who were shocked that we let out 11 and 8 year olds take the Montreal metro on their own.


I remember walking from the Mayor Wrights Housing to the Children's Section of the Hawaii State Library 3 or 4 times a week. I devoured books by authors such as Walter Farley (the Black Stallion series) and Hugh Lofting (the Dr. DoLittle series). Although I was a boy, I also read books by Lavinia R. Davis, who wrote Hobby Horse Hill. Of course, I never told my friends—they were suppose to be "girls" stories according to the school librarian! Still, she remains one on my favorite authors from my childhood.


Yes but I'm pretty sure the person who bought a brand new 82 Jetta said the same thing about his 1953 split windowed Beetle. Time marches onward and doesn't look back


Work, wow! Who'da thunk there was so much work involved with work.


Those were days when tv was a delight, funny and even a learning experience for young and old. How I miss those old shows. For me todays tv is to violent and smutty.


"You do not respect the office by turning the country into Orwell's Oceania."

Your talking about bo right boots, you know with his pen and phone and the heck with congress.


wait for it,,,,,,,,,,,, allie going say,,,, heiau, scary place!


At least in Hawaii they don't have to worry about freezing to death. Being homeless in AK can literally kill you.


From the start of this battle for clean drinking water in Port Angeles last year, Edna Willadsen and Eloise Kailin (not even a Port Angeles resident) used the threat of trying to move backwards to a second class city as a fulcrum to keep fluoride out of or water.  Washington State has 281 incorporated cities, and only 9 of them are second class such as Wapato and Colville.  All 9 started as second class.  What keeps going through my mind is simply, if becoming a second class city was such a good idea, then why are not more cities trying to become one.  It is because it is not a good idea, and we should not even consider moving "backwards" towards that goal.  Port Angeles is a progressive,  fast changing and moving forward city, the gateway to our Olympic National Park, and sits on one of the only deep water ports in the state.  Stepping backwards in government will not help us.


I totally agree. I've also found that that is generally the case for the men who are priests, at least with women. They are grateful enough if women apologize for some misunderstanding between them and act as though they are glad that they've learned what Jesus had in mind, but they don't initiate it even though they were the one who wronged. Women are supposed to do their emotional work for them, then be patronized by them for the effort. If priests fix the relationship problem, it is only by acting as though it no longer happened. The exception seems to be those who have sisters and have a better idea of being a part of a family instead of being a favored eldest or only son.

That, I think, is at the heart of the clerical problem, then magnified and concretized by being brought into a man-club with its bonds. They just see themselves as presenting the way to live and forget that we expect them to live by it even if they don't have that expectation.


Wrong. Gross Negligence requires using a product in a manner not consistent with its intended use. Just because a product is illegal in Colorado doesn't mean that the use or possession of said item negligent enough to deny an insurance claim. These consumer fireworks are regulated under the Consumer Product Safety Act, the same act/code that insurers rely on when insuring said products. It would be pretty difficult for an insurance company to say a product, which has been deemed as 'safe and sane,' is suddenly now not safe or sane even though it was used in it's designed manner - so long as the policy owner didn't alter or manipulate the device. Colorado law is pretty clear on this one, and it would take extraordinary (legally speaking) language in the policy, with the burden on the insurer, to deny such a claim.


Exactly, she's concerned about a tree that's near her, that's it.  And here we go again with all these tree huggers who inexplicably choose to live their lives in an urban landscape of asphalt, concrete and glass and millions of people and vehicles.


Disagree.  The potential of a conflict (not words) is real.  Just as we wish to upgrade our missile defense system.


Except that this is a disingenuous comparison, and is a one-sided conflict.

This only continues because the Israeli government fundamentally rejects Palestinian rights and statehood, and has made a conscious choice to perpetuate a military, political, and economic campaign to deny them these things. And the world has done nothing to hold it accountable for its decades-old brazen defiance of the UNSC and systemic violation of the very laws intended to prevent such an injustice.


So, if the cap were raised, why couldn't benefits also be raised since the argument is baby boomers are draining the system? The baby boomers won't live forever.

Not surprisingly, you took my comment to the extreme. Your reading into something that isn't there - my feeling entitled to taking other people's stuff is a personal insult to a middle-class citizen, whose FICA tax contributions have been based on 100 percent of income for decades. Then again, I'm not into personal insults, just responses to comments, so I won't return the "favor."


Whatever happened to simply eating before you got on the flight?

For that matter, based on what I see every time I'm at an airport, many people wouldn't be hurt in the slightest if they missed a meal or two...


How to make a mountain out of a mole hill.


The BOD of Commissioners should NOT have this power to tell the voters what they think is good for them (or not).  This is sucking up to the timber et al faction that give big bucks to elect some of the conservatives  currently sitting on the Board.  Highly unethical like that hugely expensive gerry-mandering done by Bozievich to make sure that conservatives populate the Board.  (Isn't it interesting Jay finds funds for pet projects but not for other things)?    I find it fascinating they think someone died and left them God(s).  (Excluding Pete, of course.  He's the only honest and ethical Commissioner).

This clearly is depriving everyone (other than those that cozy up financially) of due process.  Clearly unethical and probably Unconstitutional.


What in the world are you talking about?

What does this news stories have to to with Toronto, or Liberals.

It saddens me that you are most likely over 18 years of ages (biologically anyways) and are allowed to vote.


Does he need to do better? That example right there should suffice really. It was obviously good enough to warrant a response from you. Clinton never had the electoral college lead unlike what almost every poll told you. She should've been rallying in places like Wisconsin, etc instead of trusting pollsters like you did. Maybe next time little guy, maybe next time. Unless those evil ruskies hack again lol.


Time to light up this bloated maniac.  He just guaranteed war.  Anyone who would starve 19 million people and kill his own relatives would do anything.  Combine that with all of his threats leaves little choice.  Light him up.


Also, fairly recently, nominated for an Emmy Award for the miniseries Hatfields & McCoys, in which he starred with Kevin Costner.

But the one I remember him best for was a low-budget 2001 psychological horror movie, Frailty.  Paxton`s first film as director--he starred in it, too, most memorably, as a religiously deranged father of twin sons, both played by...Matthew McConaughey.  You`re gonna love it.


Toronto has to be one of the most female dominated places on earth. The feminist rhetoric is just a device to silence dissent. What can a man expect of a woman who will be his wife who has been born and bred in Toronto?
The very question in Toronto is absurd.
The contrary: What can a woman expect of a man who will be her husband who has been born and bred in Toronto?
The sun the moon and the stars and if her fickle heart feels like a new flavor; so be it. If the man makes any decent money he'll be paying for her new lifestyle choice as well.
Toronto is the only place on earth where I encounter the bizarre self satisfied egos of regular Jills (the opposite of regular Joes) who really believe they are all that!
Its absurd.


The budget should be constructed so that it hits the oil and gas industry and other industries' tax credits and tax breaks, stop pie in the sky mega projects, put the gas line planning on hold to save money, and make the taking of the people's Permanent Fund dividend a loan.


Walter Becker,God Speed Brah! Your music was like "Soul Food" for the mind. Grew up listening to Steely Dan and still do to this day. I remember when I used to "Cut Out" from High School,  to go surfing  and singing "I remember the thirty five sweet good byes". "My Old School". Haaaaaaaaaaa! The music,when it first came out, was a unique blend of Latin ,Rock,R&B and Jazz fusion.
 Also,the studio musicians,vocalists who played on their albums were top notch and knew their trade! Only The Best!
Remember Michael McDonald of the Dobbie Bros, Patti Austin or Jeff Pocarro? They all played  with Steely Dan. And Jeff"Skunk" Baxter, (Brah!),his legendary guitar playing was off the charts,way too cool! Such fine Musicians. All of them!
 Walter Becker, a formidable bassist,Song writer and later guitarist was responsible for a lot of the arrangements that formed that distinct sound we all know today as.........Steely Dan. Aloha Oe Brah! IMUA!


Sounds like another whinny snowflake to me. She should have told @MSNBC she couldn't handle the job and been reassigned. "Emotional toll" what a crock of 💩


I treat people equitably, not equally. Treating people equally reaffirms white privilege. Because in Westetn Society, everyone is equal, but some people are more equal than others. To treat everyone equally is to fail to recognize that some people carry heavier burdens than others. Which is ignorant and is truly a new form of racial discrimination.


Too much micronisians in line before anyone else.


With the cost of housing continuing to skyrocket it's no surprise. We need affordable housing options. Section 8 only picks 3500 every several years when many thousands apply that meet the criteria :(


This will not end until the petro dollars run out.


And if those babies could speak, and they were poor, or abused, or neglected..... would you be standing there ready to help?  Of course not.  Because folks like you are "pro birth," not "pro life."  You care right up until that baby's born, to satisfy your own sense of self-righteousness, but the minute they're born, you've moved on to lectures about personal accountability and complaints about welfare babies.


Sorry, but sounds like yet another fair weather, bandwagon fan.  Come back when you bleed green & yellow.  Coaches have been doing this forever and the staff is shaking things up.  How is it "they have a lot of redeeming to do"?  There's been some unfortunate situations but I believe Taggert has handled it all pretty darn well.


You mean if Murkowski's pipeline hadn't been sabotaged by Marty Rutherford et al. and then killed by Sarah Palin.   Palin had gotten Gov. Hickel's endorsement by saying she supported a gasline to tidewater.   As soon as she was elected, she brought on Rutherford and then they made the deal to give a half billion of our money to TransCanada for NOTHING.   One day somebody will connect all the dots in that one.


Any actual science in this story? Nope.


In 2003, I found a gorgeous red-nosed Pittie boy at Anchorage Animal Care and Control and adopted him. That dog changed me forever; he was the dog of a lifetime. After a couple of years, we added a Jack Russell puppy girl to our household. After my ❤ boy left too soon, I adopted a senior Pit Bull, who was followed by a supposed Lab/Pit mix (until I got his DNA test showing him to be a Sharpei-Cocker Spaniel-Staffie-Malamute mix!). I found a Pittie girl on the street one summer night a few years ago, and she joined our pack. I'll always be a Pittie person; they need adopters and advocates. My shortie JRT has become my ❤ girl; love the little scruffies, too! Adopt—don't shop!!


Can you show me somewhere, anywhere in my posts where I have advocated for a particular minimum wage?  I'm just curious why you have kept on ranting at me about destroying small businesses and what not.  Stop putting people into boxes.


EVERY state absorbs significant parts of local government retirement system costs. It's an example of economies of purchasing scale and the cost efficiencies gained through  single source administering  of  a host of similar-to-identical retirement programs.


Cochran stole his last election with the help of the Republican establishment and should have never been re-elected.  He hasn't "lived" in Mississippi in years, having lived with his mistress for years now in DC.  He is a criminal in my opinion and should be kicked out of office.  There is nothing honorable about him.


Here in BC you can actually schedule two hour shifts. One of my kids had a job for a clothing retailer who used this staffing method.  They also used their employees on an on-call basis, so you never knew your shifts in advance.

And yes, employees would be called in for two hour shifts and sent home.  At minimum wage transportation costs leave almost nothing.


No one loves and respects the police more than I do, but I thought the police were supposed to enforce the law rather than advise on it.  I can't imagine why police feel the need to weigh in on what is essentially a public health issue.  They should keep their giant yaps shut and get back to work.  After all, the homeless and minorities aren't going to harass themselves.


Scary area.


If you say that the rail project should continue as scheduled while the forensic and other studies are done, which will like take 2 years or more, why call for alternative options?  by then, maybe 1/3 of the construction to ala moana will have be expended.  to change the route, system, etc. by then would be entirely foolish, only more money will be needed to implement the reconfigured system.  remember the audits will focus on past costs and action, not future actions which cannot be predicted.  if any malfeasance is uncovered, it would not have any effect of the current route or construction.  All it can do is to prosecute the offenders and seek restitution.   so to say that a forensic audit or other audits will make the project more efficient from an operating standpoint is ludicrous.  to me, the biggest error was when the state only allowed the city a .5% surcharge, when the city wanted a 1%.  if a 1% was granted, much of the financing costs would have  been eliminated.

Is it legal for the council to require businesses to charge a fee that they are then allowed to keep?  I don't think this has been answered, at least not in public.


". . . some prefer any plant or animal over human beings."

The problem is that you aren't specifying what you would prefer a plant or animal for. When it comes to food, I would prefer almost any plant or animal over a human being. When it comes to hanging out and swapping stories, I prefer humans over plants and animals.

I also prefer intact eco-systems, rare as they are these days.


Leaving this type of comment really is unnecessary on an article that clearly is about people who enjoy cooking and eating meat products. That's great you are vegan, but not everyone feels the same way.  It's like a diabetic commenting on a cake recipe having too much sugar. Move along.


"Ad hominem is his default position". Yes you are, but what am I? I point out lies, but more often I argue a positive position on matters of policy.

As far as gratuitous insults, that's what your post is. You're a sorehead, Motley. I respond calmly to your lawyerly and twisted obfuscation which isn't so complex to untwist, once one learns the rules - red herrings, diversions from the topic at hand, complete refusal to discus the topic - you have perfected all the tricks. And we see daily that you aren't above personal attacks, as this post of yours amplifies.

Here is the outline to happiness in America: liberalism has given this nation everything that makes it not Russia. Liberals are better educated and smarter than Trump voters, who generally are racist bigots. Republican budgets since Reagan have been basically borrow and spend, and give the wealthy every dollar that floats to the top. The only thing that trickles down is the contempt of Republicans for the masses.

Mr. Schwab creates a focus on his own personal miseries and projects them upon others, in this case upon the President.  He dose not base his assertions on facts but on what he wants to believe he can convince you to believe.  Our President is not guilty of any of the charges that Mr. Schwab alleges however if you want a twisted projection of what the future might provide, he is your man.   Mr. Schwab has no faith in the American people or their role in ensuring their government can provide what is best for them.


It's hard to understand who PDC really answers to. Its values, interests, and motives don't seem to be in line with those of the community they exist to serve.

Well the answer that both the BC Liberals and the federal Liberals apparently came to is "by selling Canada to China".

"May June 2012"

New Faculty Union at University of Oregon
By Gwendolyn Bradley
This spring, faculty members at the University of Oregon filed union authorization cards with the state Employment Relations Board and came to an agreement with the administration, clearing the way for union certification.

My parents were teachers ... public school teachers ... you know, as in "maximum salary at retirement after 31 years of teaching of $41K/year".  And they raised three kids, put us all through college, and retired at age 55 and were financially independent.  How did they do this?  They lived below their means and they had a good, competent financial planner.  That's a powerful lesson I learned from them.  I own a nice house thats only what I need, not was I could actually have afforded.  I bought a new car only when my old one finally was falling apart and unsafe.  And I have a competent, certified financial planner managing my money, and I'm doing very well for a person who is 44 years old.  Apparently I have more money saved for retirement than 95% of people my age.  I'll retire to the bland boonies to land I'll inherit (free!).  But I still feel it isn't enough, so I keep at it.  ... The people in this article didn't plan to fail, they failed to plan.


You speak of the Samuel Pipim debacle.  Indeed.  This is an embarrassment.  There is a Facebook page that tracks this situation.  He continues to be invited to be a guest speaker in parts of the world, having never apologized to his victims.  He arranged for his own secret rebaptism against the written communication of the conference that disfellowshipped him.  He continues to speak as though he is the victim although there are multiple victims who have come forward.  There are whole segments of our church who seem to excuse criminal behavior toward women.   Are those the same ones who now oppose women's ordination?

Heard on the radio yesterday that this person missed his hearing in San Diego because he was stuck in traffic.    Now that Trump issued his order he was scared.    So in other words he would rather walk in temps of -30 to reach Canada but could not show up a few hours early for his hearing that may have allowed him access to the United States?    We are being had and the Liberals are complicit.

Unlike coal, the wood we export is used for building, not for energy production. It is much greener because it is renewable (every tree harvested is replanted) whereas coal isn't, and, alternative building materials (steel, bricks etc) require the use of coal burning kilns or furnaces.

"originalism in the reading of the constitution" Now just what is that supposed to mean?


They're both dishonest. Both New Yorkers. My husband went to high school in Chappaqua. He's friends with some of the Clintons' neighbors. A lot of them hate her with a deep passion made worse when she built a wall around her compound. Some of them are staying home this election. A lot of them are considering 3rd party for the first time in their sheepified lives.

This election may look like the entire country has gone stupid, but it is waking up a sizable minority to just how stupid they've been in the past. All Johnson needs is a plurality. I don't think he personally is going to perform any miracles, but the signal his win would send to the elites just might. We the people start to put ourselves back into control if we stop playing the game the elites insist we play. It might also help if we sent a sizable group of LIbertarians to the House and Senate. Whatever shakes up the elites' power structure is toward the good of the people and the states.


The comment about domestic charities is true in Canada.   For example, I couldn't find a charity that deals with issues around access to clean, running water in remote areas, whereas there are several highly rated ones that deal with the same issue in developing countries, particularly in Africa.


The whistleblower regime implementation has been fraudulent.   People are told that they will be severely punished for whistleblowing and they have to sign annual undertakings related to it.

In reality, firms treat whistleblowers worse than dirt and the government is no better.

The whole thing is a "racket" worthy of Scientology or est.


And if all these pending prognostications of doom are correct in their predictions of a collapse in housing prices, then the deflationary cycle will push interest rates right back down again.  That's the inconvenient truth that so many refuse to acknowledge.

To those of you lusting for interest rates like we had back in the 70's, 80's and 90's, you can continue to dream of bygone days, but the fact is that interest rates of 6%, 7% or 8% are extremely unlikely in the next few decades, for a host of reasons, including deflationary technology trends and demographic factors that won't disappear until the last of the baby boomers is in his/her nineties.

Folks need to learn to adjust retirement expectations to appropriately factor these new realities, rather than whining and crying foul about some sort of nefarious schemes perpetrated by central banks to "steal their retirement interest savings"... that's all I have to say.

I hate to break it to you, but outside of your fevered imagination, there is no such thing as the "alt-left".


I think we are slowly watching the count down to the end of the Trump presidency. The GOP will get rid of him by this time next year.


Obama has only a month left to go as President and he introduces this measure as if he can make it permanent? It's not backed up by any action of Congress. Most likely Trump will revoke it as one of his first orders of business. As he will most of Obama's executive orders. Obama should realize that he is a lame duck president and just leave quietly rather than trying to do anything important at the last minute.


But there is no other party which we can believe to vote this december except ANC. And this party should not include ramaphosa now.

Let's see what you left out of Canon 212:

Can. 212 §1. Conscious of their own responsibility, the Christian faithful are BOUND TO FOLLOW WITH CHRISTIAN OBEDIENCE those things which the sacred pastors, inasmuch as they represent Christ, declare as teachers of the faith or establish as rulers of the Church.

They have a right to make their statements. They did this two years ago. Their pastor and bishop did not see it their way. There is a canonical procedure they can follow, although with the picayune complaints I cannot imagine them getting what they apparently wish.

Can. 223 §1. In exercising their rights, the Christian faithful, both as individuals and gathered together in associations, must take into account the COMMON GOOD OF THE CHURCH, the RIGHTS OF OTHERS, and THEIR OWN DUTIES TOWARD OTHERS.

Roman Catholic Women Priests is not Roman, is not Catholic, nor Catholic priests. All participants in their ordinations have been excommunicated.

Then you have your ears and eyes closed. There have been many, many such denunciations going back to the 30s. Have you read George Orwell? One of the most taught authors in the arts and humanities. Noam Chomsky has been scathing on the Soviets and Maoists.


How do you know 99% of commenters have never had an experience of being singled out? Is it conceivable that they simply don't agree with her assumptions and approach to dealing with these experiences? I'm a POC working on Bay Street, and certainly find the author's attitude troubling. For instance, she thinks taking off early to play ultimate frisbee should be attributed equal importance as the need to pick kids up from school... Really? Profit driven firms aren't there to cave to your every interest and whim, which frankly have nothing to do with her being black in this case.

I hope Francis can put a fire under the feet of the bishops to GET REAL.  I can't believe he hasn't been briefed by other sources about what the ACP  have been doing/saying or about the state of the Church in Ireland.

O'Hanlon's  idea that "God is missing but not missed"  is really off the mark  It assumes that God is only present in the forms presented/practiced by the Church.  But God is not missing and never has been.  He is with the priest speaking up, the women who feel frustrated, the  cultural, seasonal, observant, inspired and/or emancipated Catholics every good deed.  God doesn't fit in the Catholic "package" any more - if He ever did.

Why not at least give him the opportunity to surrender so that he could be interrogated? This is a hoax, just like 9/11 was. Anyone who can't see that the Twin Towers were imploded has to explain how Building 7 fell in the same faster-than-freefall pancake fashion despite never having been hit by a glancing blow by part of one of the towers, and having only small fires going. This was treason to fulfill the PNAC's pining for a "New Pearl Harbor" to whip up war fever for the neocons plans to take over the mideast.

So sorry for your loss John . This is a shame , hopefully this lawsuit will put stricter monitoring and help others in this situation .


In one's clinging years one begins to repeat oneself.

Classic dementia a.k.a. the North Shore Syndrome.


repealing Obamacare with nothing to replace it so millions of Americans are without medical insurance\/
Typical of Trumpians - god help ordinary people in the US


Hey buddy, Trumps not there on weekends. The Donal only works 9-5 Monday to Friday. He's golfing now so you are wasting your time. But then Donald is costing America's tax payers 183 million this year to guard him while he goes down to golf and while his wife and kid continue to live in NY.

Donald does what he does best and that's get others to pay for him.


The buzz word here is "critics."  Who the flip cares what Hillary critics think.  I know Hillary doesn't.  LOL


"Whatever the administration decides, it will be the right decision for the university." Yes, there will be a decision.  Whether it's the "right" one or not remains to be seen.  While I'd expect no other words from an obedient head Coach, it would be refreshing to sense some independent thinking on the subject.  Is Altman simply kowtowing to the hierarchy - or is he really so confident in its "wisdom"?


There is an old saying:
.
"Never pick a fight with people who buy ink by the barrel" - Mark Twain
.
Donald Trump needlessly and foolishly chose to pick a fight with the Press.  That is a cardinal error in a democracy.
.
Is he a coward for now choosing to run away?
.
Well, people can make up their own minds.  It may be fair comment.
.
These are the consequences of his own choice:  He picked this fight, himself.


They have to stop playing the anthem at games. Its become a circus act for these protestor fakes.


If it's like his French, pretty bad.


Pat, I just want you to know how blessed I think we all are for your writings here. You add a dimension rarely found on forums, and I'm grateful you don't get caught up in the little bonfires of contention here.  Thank you for your participation. 😀


The criminal justice system is supposed to protect the public from criminals.

What I find most disheartening about the debate over sexual assault is how it is typically framed to leave out the public interest, and McLachlin certainly seems guilty of that in her recent comments.


The clergy sees the laity as surfs who work on their estate. As the pedophile scandal has demonstrated, by and large they don't care as long as they stay out of jail. By and large, this retrenchment will be met with apathy.


In the old days we just turned the chart upside down and everything looked very promising.


What scares me the most is the fact that even if Zuma is ousted the network is still in place and there are probably many more people in the network than we realize. It will be a massive task to remove them all. They will continue to protect themselves and Zuma. The other question is where is all the money that Zuma and co have made ? Money is pretty useless until you spend it and he will want to spend it at some time. Just think, if Zuma had put as much thought and energy into legitimate means the country would have flourished and he would have had more to steal !


The paper just keeps on tripping over it's own feet in their rush to defend the indefensible. This is really a sad time in the history of Canada.


Perhaps another name for White Privilege is Non White Victimhood


From your link:
Young debtors aged 18–29 account for 14% of all insolvency filings, up from 12% in our previous study.
Senior debtors aged 60 and over now make up 12% of all insolvencies, continuing the growth trend begun in 2011.
Student debt is a factor in 15% of all insolvencies, up from 13% two years ago.
--
While student debt is a rising factor, the listed groups' percentage increase can be mostly accounted for by the decrease on overall insolvencies. Looking at the more detailed tabs, the comparisons are still % of debtors rather than number per capita. So the study and report is written to be alarmist, rather than analytical.


Just as women should not be forced to wear the niqab, they should not be prevented from wearing it.  They are not harming anyone.  Why are people so obsessed with women's clothing? The only reason for introducing this legislation is to whip up anti-immigrant (and specifically anti-muslim) sentiment.  It's ridiculous.


As a landlord it is not the tenant's right to resell a parking spot.  Most leases/rental contracts require a vehicle description with the plate number.  The landlord would be open to all sorts of liability if this were to knowingly happen.


Yes, people are laughing at you, nomad.  Best give up your Canadian citizenship and move to a country where there are no checks and balances on what the govt can do to its citizens.


Nothing will be done, what can they do with people like that? Sending him to prison will not gain anything, slapping his hand won't do anything, a public defender would get him off. Maybe spread the word that he has a lot of drugs in the house might be a good way to get rid of the problem.


I don't wear a maple leaf pin on me (I travel with a suitcase not backpack, beyond that being in my mid 30s with more money so I can stay at decent hotels) and haven't found people in Europe hostile.  Although I do always make an effort to speak the local language and try to adopt to local customs and manners so that is perhaps why.  In fact I got mistaken for British a few times (Yes my accent is not remotely British, but if you cannot speak English you might not know the difference just as a Canadian couldn't tell a German and Austrian apart despite accent differences) as I tried to speak the local language which Brits often do as they know not everyone speaks English, whereas Americans tend to just assume everyone speaks English.


Do you think Trump actually "realized" anything?  More likely someone told him the military wouldn't like him anymore.


But do they swallow?


I agree. It's hard to justify boxing as a sport. What do you think about golf as a sport?


Richard Rhyner, people that shoot at U.S. troops are not terrorists.  Terrorists kill civilians, not regulated military.  We have no business being in Afghanistan now.


See ya!


no actually taxation and Marxism is the cause.
nice try


"people who had obtained their Canadian nationality through fraud."

And they were being kicked out?  A violent and blatant assault on their Canadian Human Rights!  Oh, how they must have suffered.  Unlawful confinement. Sleep deprivation.

Bust out the Taxpayer's cheque book.  There are wrongs that must be righted.  Let's see, $10,500,000 X 312 = ?????

Ahh, who cares.  Just write the cheques, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.


Of course they were. But they had much less to work on since Obama was easily 10x the man Drumpf is.


Well, folks, you read it here first, as some members of the MSM used to say: some news outlets really have the best interests aof the future of mankind at heart.  Why, as we speak, I suspect Rupert Murdock and his colleagues are meeting in some out-of-the-way boardroom plotting yet more decisive moves in their strategy to "cut earth population by half...by spreading rumours to create a pretext for huge war."

Naw, that won't fly.  I mean, revenues are based on viewers, readers, listeners.  Why chop the potential audiences in half?

I mean, see how DUMB things can get on this page?  Perception comes easy when all you need is a good grounding in profit and loss.

You're welcome.

Hello! My name is Alisha, I'm the person who wrote the article. I'll switch up the hyperlink to ensure that it goes to the correct story.  The list is at the bottom of the article and includes several local businesses and organizations that are either giving the eclipse glasses away for free or selling them for a couple of dollars. Thanks for reading!

May I suggest that the readership here not get lost in one two victims' individual horrific abuse experiences. By paying attention to individual experiences only it may drain you of the empathy needed to help the masses of uncompensated and ignored victims. Let's talk about the masses of abused and what needs to be done for them/us. I am in no way discounting individual horror but I refuse to ignore the forest for the tree.


A man less than three weeks on the job according to you is supposed to foresee a rope getting caught in the chopper, looping around him, and yanking him into the chopper teeth? Did the manufacturer see this fault? Did the contractor see this fault? Obviously, no one saw this fault, or considered it a possible fatal flaw. It's not as obvious a fatal flaw as working on a roof without fall arrest equipment. It's not even so obvious a situation as working over a drill press or lathe with long unbound hair or metal necklace, two situations usually forbidden in work environments.


Coghill was the primary sponsor of SB91... SB stands for Senate Bill; Claman is in the House.


One of many Canadian myths to add to:

Only the rich can afford med insurance
Canadians burned the WH during the War of 1812
The Statue of Liberty was stolen from the French

The "lets feel good about ourselves" list is endless.


This reads like something from a simpering bureaucrat explaining how the process worked so well according to guidelines and regulations, and checks off all the boxes for success and that just because the job didn't get done doesn't mean everything isn't running smoothly.


We need a ban on insane environmentalists!


Colleges should not be supported by state and still gouge students every year with rising tuition. They are not paid for unpopular thoughts. Same as news anchors giving opinions instead of sticking to facts and let us decide what to accept. Keep the thoughts to themselves and teach skills. Thats the problem with colleges today, they are more interested in pushing opinions and their agendas, students in streets protesting crap instead of class.They are there to help prepare students for their fields of work they choose to support them in the real world.  Who wants to pay for opinions. Just because a person gets a professor job doesn't mean students/parents need to pay high costs for their opinion. Its school,  a change to get a degree in a field of the students choice. Opinions don't get degrees and students shouldn't have to waste their time listening to some pontificating teacher's opinion on the class or world. Why buy books when teacher is giving their opinions as education.


They do what the DPD was supposed to do, round up criminals. Good job.


Absolutely disgusting, many people carry a small 5L gas can in their trunk in case they forget to fill up, it's actually common practice in many regions of the world.  I can understand not wanting people to change a tire in some locations but this goes too far...


Yes, thank you Mr Callan for your ideas on what do with rail.  Your proposal makes so much
sense that our political ruling elite will never support what you propose as they have already
received too many brown envelopes of appreciation and stand to personally benefit
in other ways so they are all going to walk us all lockstep  into a financial disaster of a rail project
no matter what.


Sorry no. Trump should have not approached the head of the FBI and asked him to affect an ongoing investigation.

The memo was not classified, at all. That is a lie and one that keeps getting repeated. It was not leaked he gave a copy of it to a friend, specifically because he was afraid this is how all this would pan out.

He was prepared and ready and had asked Sessions not to leave him alone with Trump because Trump was asking him to stop the investigation. Trump kept pushing him to drop the investigation up to trying to force him to take a loyalty oath.

Yeah let's attempt to defame Comey. The guy that today stood up and gave testimony.

I have a better idea, lets have Donald get up there and testify, oh and he can bring those tapes he has.


You know if they nationalized health care that veterans could just go to any doctor they wanted?


You are absolutely right. Law makers making the case for lawlessness.


Failed try!  Lawyers take instructions from their clients.  The Department of Justice lawyers' client is the federal government = politicians.  Ergo a political deal.

And how is asking a court to make a determination "hatred of the rule of law"?  Exactly?  Be precise and concise.


Anti-flouriders are in the same boat as anti-vaxers- DAMNED STUPID.!


You may mock this but Canadians have contributed to a fund to the tune of $200,000+ in support of Speer's two teenage sons.  That would be $200,000+ more than the Liberal government provided to the Speer family.

Please, contribute your comment to the LPC talking point squad as they are so in tune with Canadian sentiment.

lol.


Too many Jews didn't fight back. And that's a lesson to keep in mind. Better to stifle today's nazis thru reason, social and economic pressure, and the use of law, than have to resort to violence later.

But reason, social pressure, etc require moral leadership. That leadership should be provided by the president. Unfortunately, leadership called the Oval Office. No one answered.


Uh, international disgrace.  I have quite a few friends who live overseas, and they can't believe what we elected.  Yes, he's a reflection of our populace.


Sorry Chase. That was sarcasm. There are no statistics.

Last week, I discovered that one of the national champions in the banking sector charged me a $3.50 fee to move $25 to my Starbucks payment app. I encourage anyone who thinks the Big Six have a great future milking Canadian consumers so shamelessly to invest heavily in bank stocks. I have reduced my own exposure. I also have moved 90% of my chequing and credit card business to a credit union with positive results (despite the fact that one of the Big Six manages the credit union's MasterCard business). My online brokerage will be next to go. And I've gone back to paying cash for my coffee. Great analysis Ian!


There is even more to this Shirley Stephenson than the animal neglect.  While there is a small number of people supporting her, there are dozens more who have their own personal stories about Shirley.
She has a long history of selling sick puppies, ripping off other show breeders by taking their money and never giving them a dog.  The same is true for people who have put deposits down on pets.  Read the BBB complaints.  I wonder if the prosecuting attorney would like to speak to the people that she has ripped off.  How about the IRS for non payment of taxes on all of the money she's made over the years selling puppies?


I love a good laugh but I’m honestly concerned that there are people like Mr. Koch who drive, vote and have access to bump stocks.  I shudder to to think . .


nothing about the guy being at any bar. and some people hold their liquor "well"  they can be blotto, walking, talking,  navigating  just fine - sober enough from all appearances.  you wouldn't look at him twice - behind the wheel he's just sloppy or sleepy or gets aggressive.
 i know there are too many deaths from impaired drivers - really tragic stories.    i have a friend who did time for vehicular homicide: he was stinkin drunk, a macho guy who would never let on he was TOO drunk. he was sentenced to the maximum amount of time and is out now.  he has such remorse for killing the young lady..he's been suicidal - we've gone up cougar reservoir looking for him if he was late back from one of his solitary camping trips. the wreck was about 12 years ago and it's still on his mind always.  he does know what he did - he does know his stupidiness caused a young person to lose her life. double tragedy as part of him died there also. he doesn't exist in the moment now. he's always "there"


And maybe NFL over-exposure.
When MNF started, it was a novel experience.
Then TNF came along. And Sunday night football. And an NFL cable channel devoted exclusively to all NFL Football, all the time. And NFL commercials in the off season to remind us the NFL is still there (as if we could forget).
Meanwhile, cable exploded. Offering more alternatives, including sports alternatives.
The concept has gone from new and exciting, to part of people's watching experience, to old.


"But the Trump administration’s call for resignations seemed less remarkable for what it asked for than how it asked. While new presidents often sweep out U.S. Attorneys to put in their own picks, they rarely do so until replacements are ready. Trump, though, has not yet formally nominated anyone to a U.S. Attorney post."

Black market apparently


Perhaps they could declare an outbreak of "West Nile Virus" in Juneau, it would be helpful. It would give the rest of us something else to worry about and the legislature could make their collective "get-away."


I would rather bring back the student loan forgiveness program.  If you returned to Alaska within six months of college graduation, you could get up to 50% of your Alaska student loan forgiven. A great incentive for Alaskans who attended college around the country to bring their skills and knowledge back to Alaska


The discussion should be about the definition of journalism, period.  Far too frequently the material being presented as journalism simply isn't, the public knows it, and has discredited journalists as a harsh consequence.  The Trump campaign is clearly the tipping point to what has being going on for years ( Justin got elected with such assistance )  and the profession may not recover. Start with cleaning house at journalism schools and ridding ourselves of the gang of liberal progressive ideologues who, as professors, feel it is their mission to imbed their graduating students into the media to bring about a world of their choosing.  Separate journalists and media from legislators the same way the courts are and you will have much less propaganda coming from state-run outlets such as the CBC.  My first sense is to distrust anything from even the G&M,  and I know many who have a similar outlook.


Since the Democrats won't be in the Whitehouse for at least four years and Trump will ignore the Republican party 'platform', you are going to have to accept disappointment.


Perfect!  Like adding an oxidizer to liquid hydrogen... Voila - rocket fuel!


Just flag it as 'abuse'... which passing on a deliberate, inflammatory lie certainly is.


If Mr. Bozievich wants to change state law to allow him and his cronies to veto initiatives before the fact, or even permit a Circuit Judge to do so to avoid the evils of potentially unconstitutional initiatives, he has the means to do so.   Passing an unconstitutional ordinance is not that means, however.

". You can't show up for parliament if you spend most of your time outside Canada."

No Harper is not and you are naive to think Khadr's lawyers would not have sued for the same amount over the supposed torture and abuse while in Guantanamo which all occurred under the Liberal governments of Chretien and Martin.

"I'm gonna fix her wagon!"


That is a very wide brush you're painting with!


Entry level positions require skills. Other wise they wouldn't be called "JOBS". To arbitrarily just say "you don't deserve 15$ because you are just starting out at and don't know enough" is ridiculous. A livable wage is what we are striving for no matter what the $$ amount is.


So much for Congress and this administration claiming to support freedom of religion. It is a farce -- the Republicans show their true colors - discriminate against the poor and people of color, to hell with civil rights, but oh we must give tax cuts to the wealthy.  Shameful Paul Ryan. And all who continue to support his sham.


thank you.knew him well.he help so many get there break.


Back to the Big House . . . hopefully forever.


That's Eugenes M.O....


"University of Alberta economics professor Joseph Marchand, the author of the C.D. Howe report, noted that the province has already lost about 25,000 low-wage jobs since the increases began."

Unless his paper has been revised it only predicted a loss of 25,000 jobs which like other similar pronouncements is pure speculation at this point.


I hope so. Sessions has to go. No legitimate civil rights person wanted Sessions in the first place. But before Sessions goes I am sure he will want to visit his old friends in the Senate (testify as what what really is going on in the Administration, thus taking Trump with him.


When did Trump turn five?


The scary thing is that Trump is easily provoked by insults and lack of respect.  Maybe the rest of the world could lock both of them up in an insane asylum and throw away the key.


Mos of you  guys gotta stop listening to the colour guys on TV.  The Pens problems were not Sid's presence, it was that they simply were not moving their feet and shooting that puck like they can. For example what does over passing nine times  (like the old Leafs) do other than waste time on a power play.  They got one shot on net in the first period, if a team plugs up the middle you shoot through them and force them out of position, not run around the boards and hope to draw them out. If you can't get the opposition to give up the middle, you certainly ain't gonna draw them to the boards, no matter  who you are.  Pens' masterful short passing game was no where to be seen!


Wait, the more I think about it, this is total BS. You're a Ravens fan, but just as of yesterday you no longer watch the NFL? Ray Lewis allegedly killed a guy, but you were fine with that? The real kicker is Ray Rice. Were you and your wife ok with Ray Rice knocking out a woman in an elevator? You were still fans after that incident I guess, but this, a few guys kneeling in a peaceful silent protest, THAT is where you draw the line.


If I kneel in church, is that disrespectful?


Since he is a convicted felon now, did they confiscate his firearms?


"We provide tax credits to install solar panels on rooftops. Shouldn’t lending a public hand to help people with something as fundamentally important as safety in their own homes be as much if not more of a priority than helping lower electric bills?

Two wrongs don't make a right.  And if the 8-member CB board is able to reach a unanimous binary yes-no conclusion without nuance, that is the complete opposite of the vast majority of other observers here, then maybe you guys are just so much more smarter than the rest of us.  Or just maybe you guys are operating under a dictatorship and not a democracy, as you might wish to think or have others believe?


I disagree that there has to be a cogent alternative. Just plain cease work at this istant and leave it be as-is and forget about it.
Just the fact that people like you insist for constructive alternatives is the problem. As long as there is discussion (well-intended) on anything that goes awry, with an eye toward "saving it" or salvaging what good that can be had, then every bloody politician will know that all they have to do is simply bamboozle you just enough to get you to approve the start of ANY project. Because once it goes off-kilter you will seek a "solution". This will beget you more of the same, ad nausea, in perpetuity.
The way to STOP this kind of crap fro happening again is to cease work right this instant in its present uusable state. Thenceforth every generation of voter will be wiser about letting pols sell ignorant public on pipe dreams.


Yep, I'll take em scrambled. lol


If MY tax dollars are involved I will talk about it all I want. Thank You.


"The Federal Way Public Schools bond was short of the 12,781 yes votes needed to pass. As of Tuesday night, it had 7,914 votes in favor (59.1 percent). The measure requires a supermajority approval, or 60 percent".

Is this true? My understanding is that there needs to be a 60% turnout to qualify, not a 60% yes vote.


I don't think the calculator works correctly regarding the proposed bill C6. The days spent outside of Canada after obtaining the permanent residency are multiplied by a factor (approximately 1.5) so it increases the required period of staying. Please adjust it. This factor should be 1.0 instead of 1.5.


I agree with most everything here - guessing Heuerman is out when Butt is finally ready to go?

The PUP is a blessing for Kelly. Might be too dangerous to try to stash him on the Practice Squad.


So change it to be named after Michel Langevin.


"( the group)  agrees with Catholic teachings on sexuality,"
Does the group understand that they can observe their own rules but when they tell others how to live they provoke anger? People have the right to free speech but sometimes shutting up is the right thing to do.


Ha ! "Islamphobia" sounds like some type of disease......!! The only problem with that word is that it's so absurd.... It sounds stupid and once again Muslims are being partitioned out....


Why does it start at $15 an hour? How did you arrive at that? Why is it the employer's responsibility to pay more? I don't see how it is the employer's responsibility to find housing, and food for the employee. What is the connection? Why do workers deserve it? Do you know the original minimum wage was used to keep black workers out of construction jobs. (I know that is NOT what you are going for.)  Look at the Minneapolis airport. They raised the min. wage and now 2/3rds of the wait staff are gone. They replaced them with iPads. You make your order on an ipad, swipe your CC and the food comes out. Now those people had to find other jobs or get the min wage of $0. Similar things in DC and Seattle. growing economy except for those in food service.(outside the area food service jobs are growing)


RIP brothers in blue who have made the ultimate sacrifice and also those who have dedicated their lives to protect and serve their community.  You have our support and respect.


Taxes won't address the problem of inactivity. Physical education should be a mandatory non-credit course to be completed before a high school diploma is granted.  Instead of getting regular exercise, more young people seem to be spending too much time on their computers and phones.

I agree with many fellow readers. For people on low and  fixed incomes, taxes cause hardship. Taxes are just being used as another easy solution to solve the complex problem of obesity.


"Yes it's certainly not cool for a son to have sex with his mother, but . . ."

You missed the point, which was that for unrepentent, recalcitrant mortal sin, Christians eventually have a right protect the Church by saying "good riddance."  That time has come.  Things have gone from bad to worse to intolerable.  It wasn;t enough that gay sex almost destroyed the priesthood.  Most of LGBT wants more.  To those who do, "Good riddance."


Behavior? on who's part? Tyrant Government, Or FREE Citizen Protecting the RIGHT given to protect oneself from a Tyrannical Governmental Body,  bearing arms established precisely for this reason by the forefathers of this country who knew that the government of today was exactly what free citizens don't need. they are overreaching and corrupt! No ifs and or but, they whole system is broken and NOT repairable in its currents design. These men are facing 170 Years for what? letting cattle graze as they have for a Century.  completely believe the government is as wrong here as they were in ruby ridge, waco, etc...


To your information, union employees are now forced to take two days without pay. Would you be okay if this would be done to you?


A have had a statement blocked because I used ‘shill’ when referring to those who post false and misleading information in these posts. Note that shill usually implies pay but motivation may come from owning stock, working in the area, or other connections but I think is a proper definition and not derogatory name calling.
dbsb3233’s comments here are reasonable that may overly pessimistic and incomplete but should form part of a conversation.
I have contacted the Civil people who do post guidelines and asked for a rating scale from 0 to 10.  There are many comments that are only partially civil but contain ideas that should be part of the conversation. I have concerns about the quality of the algorithm that cannot use the additional rating information.


You really think the marks will never wise up, don't you? So far, the Lump administration has done next to nothing, but all of it beneficial to the party's rich donors and detrimental to the people who actually voted for the Mad King. Smash 'n' grabs can't really go on too long once the alarms start going off.


Understandable why someone even remotely connected to the world these people live in might abuse achohol or other drugs. I hear
that they also have a habit of beating spouses. The quilt that comes from living off the public doles must be overwhelming.


These comments seem a little mean spirited to me. Why should this family pay for upkeep of an access road, sewage service and water lines etc which they do not use or need? They do not even live in the Park. Only their garden backs into the Park. The real scandal here is why it took ten long, costly years to come to the obvious conclusion about Positive Covenants. By the way, I would assume they will indeed still have to cover tree pruning costs in their own garden which abuts or includes any Wychwood Park land. This has nothing whatsoever to do with greed and everything to do with fairness and transparency.  I say Caveat Emptor to future purchasers of property in Wychwood Park.


My wife and I LOVED the first season. So did my university-age son. Very smart. We are thrilled that it is back. I strongly encourage your readers to give it a try.


Except that the article expressly mentions Bush's rhetoric in the war on terror as an example of a kind of worldview that is linked with Trump's. I certainly agree with you that now all convservative evangelicism is of a piece (it was actually a point I tried to make last week in response to your comments about the Catholic right). Nonetheless, I do not think the Spadaro article does a very good job of making these distinctions, especially when, as I say, it offers up Bush's rhetoric in its parade of horribles.


It's not that anyone is "threatening our kids."  The article describes an involuntary transfer, an early retirement, a potential layoff.....and even less visible, good teachers that look at the climate and decide Oregon or California is a better place to make a career.  These are the impacts if you hire less people and working conditions deteriorate.  No one wants it that way, but funding priorities will cause it to be the outcome.
The salary is OK, but housing costs here are high.  It's only a "six figure salary" if you include benefits, and they're not "Cadillac."  They're decent but not outstanding. And the retirement is the worst of 50 states.


I hope that they don't use the same general contractor that was involved with the construction & delays at the on-going Union Station renovations and York University subway extension.


Should the city legalize meth and cocaine and opium..... To stop crime.....and save money.....??


oh again and again with this total liberal propaganda bs yellin, stick it bud!  the problem is first and last the ONTARIO LIBERALS, ridding ontario of them is the first best step to starting to fix the mess and high prices.  they you rag on, first so called green is not a big part but then try to claim ridding us of them will cost more money! what usual liberal double talk.   NO MORE GEA and NO LIBERALS is the only answer to start


“Oh, what a tangled web we weave...when first we practice to deceive.”

I live in the SW metro area and work downtown. It is a little over 14 miles from home to work. There is only one short stretch, less than a mile, that I am not on a protected, dedicated bike lane the entire way. That sounds pretty bike friendly to me. I have started biking because parking is too expensive. Even light rail is a budget-buster in spite of the taxpayers footing most of the bill. Maybe your area of town is different but my route is very bike friendly.


At the end of the article it said that we could speed up the hearings, which was followed by the statement that there are no easy solutions. Isn't that an easy solution, speed up the hearings and deportations. The current situation seems to be lets hope it goes away. This isn't a solution it is conflict avoidance. The not too subtle point is that we have a PM who has gone on the world stage building an image of peace , love and an open door policy to refugees. By painting himself into the proverbial corner he can't now take a tough stand, hence the comments the other day, asking refugees to respect the rules. Most of the current border crosses are Haitian , and Montreal has a large Haitian population already, so it is safe to assume that most if allowed to stay will end up there. One could safely make the argument that if Montreal doesn't care, certainly the mayor doesn't, and the Quebec government doesn't care, then it's there problem to deal with.


Flooding in Ottawa in May followed up by snow in Ottawa in May. That kind of 'extreme'.

Ie: you don't usually see both at the same time.


I have never met Mayor Blake but  the work she has done for this community deserves recognition not only by  towns folks but nationally. The Mac became a tinder point  figuratively for the entire Canadian economy as well, sadly, as literally.  The task of mayor of any city in Canada small or large is difficult because the cities are legal creatures of provincial governments rather than self-determining and  often find themselves hostage  to political interests elsewhere. An OC wouldn't go amiss.  Or if we don't want to give it to the  women who led the effort, follow the example of the Late King  in the last war when he awarded the George Cross  to the entire Island of Malta


Instead of looking for a crystal ball perhaps you would be better served looking for some facts.  If you want to sell your fairy tales at least make them somewhat believable.


Still bitter about Trump's big victory huh? Don't you think it's about time you picked yourself up and moved on? It's been almost a year now.


Please tell us why you trust the internal report of a department made mostly of white folks with lots of motive to deny the complaint. We need data to convince folks like you and most sheriffs and police departments don't want that data collected. I wonder why?


European nations haven’t guaranteed their citizens the RIGHT to bear arms, so any comparison is a mute point


Spooktecular!


F-off McCarthy...give the people 2700 pages burnt in the dumpster (to large for the largest garbage can) you promised and proving you're a chicken-sh...* you and the RINO's. After 8 years of big talk...turns out your just a bunch of pussies who need to put your pink pussy hats on.
Give American's a good bill and you'll have all kinds of votes. You haven't learned a damn thing yet. You, and Hillary have the same problems blaming everyone but you!


Your point on "horizontal" is a popular and trendy one, I'll grant you that, but is only made possible by the Vertical.

The most "horizontal" element in the Mass of course is when we are sent forth at the very very end of Mass.

Please list the other non-optional horizontal components.


Unions are a contagious disease constanting looking for new businesses to infect and destroy.


If Drumpf disappears, I call dibs on that ugly Drumpf portrait painting thing.


I'm thinking that every story that questions the antics of the Donald are now coming down Trump supporters thinking they are all lies and innuendo. It's going to be a common occurrence as his supporters fight off the buffoonery coming from the Donald.


Common sense seems to be the conservative word for "turn a blind eye when the fix is in."


How so? You're free to hike into wilderness anytime you like.

Killing a defenseless bird on the ground.  Stealing stuff.  Ratting on his friends.   Wow.


Another example of how "compromise" and "bipartisanship" have been vilified by both sides and prevent our country from making progress in moving our country forward.  Obama said ACA wasn't perfect and needed adjustments.  The other side had to repeal outright for politics alone, but for 6 years didn't burn many calories on a replacement.  Perhaps prohibiting riders (i.e. pork) has prevented our leaders from making deals with each other (give and take), and we all lose.  Please bring compromise back to politics.  I'm glad Mr. Young can see this.


As a former Corporation Counsel for a Police Commission, it is apparent to me that the decisions by the County of Honolulu Police Commission are "old boy" politics and, influenced by the Caldwell administration, the Corporation Counsel has misinterpreted the law. Expect more lawsuits and a waste of taxpayer dollars if these shenanigans continue. Bravo to Loretta Sheehan and Steven Levinson. Be The Change!


Note how Obama never complained about the Electoral College when he was elected President. Time for him to sit down and shut his trap.


It does concern you when they drive down the road drugged, or the costs to health care, the impact on generation.
How many Canadians will be impacted and harmed ? We all must fight this with everything we have.as it will damage a generation of young people and we have a duty as adults to protect them from harm to the best of our abilities. How many do you think know this information?
Health Canada and the government acknowledge the science that says men who are wanting to start family should not use marijuana because of risk to reproductive health.
In 2015 you as a taxpayer helped pay out the $180 million to 100 victims of the drug thalidomide that some very reckless government official allowed on the market inspite of acknowledging the harms - we paid and we will pay for 100 more years if this drug is found to do generational damage. Marijuana is showing generational damage - and there are 1 million grade 12 students using marijuana and they are vulnerable - they do not know risks


He means Bombardier employs middle class and upper class tax payers.  Should they close shop, Canada would take a serious hit to our tax revenue.  The ownership may suck, but they provide the types of jobs Canadians need.  Kinda like the oil industry.


That's true about fault tracing using remote sensing (satellites), Dunthorpe, but those fault traces don't have the sensitivity to detect fault blocks small enough to be displaced by human structural forces in a specific way. Neither does seismology, an inexact science requiring experienced interpretation, similar to polygraph interpretation.


From anecdotal observations, this type of behavior is becoming more widespread.  Ethical sportspersons need to step up and report suspected infractions.  GMU 13 has become a free-for-all.

Penalties for game violations (especially the type mentioned in the article) should be increased substantially.


St. JP was seen as an obstructionist in the Council.  His idea of success is therefore dubious.


Too bad so sad, Kay Gem!

If Trudeau had suddenly donned a pair of gloves and a scalpel and started performing neurosurgery in 2015, and that was found palatable to Canadians and the media because he has such a famous last name and has such a dramatic "I-care scrunchie-face"...

... I would have been referring to him as the drama teacher in the neurosurgery costume in every piece of writing about the man.

Which is to say that the shoe fits and so I describe him as wearing it. Maybe you are okay with Justin Trudeau performing brain surgery on patients. I am not. Thus my alluding to the inappropriateness of said drama teacher performing said brain surgery is in no way pejorative towards drama teachers. High school drama teachers are important members of society for teaching teenagers about drama, not for doing neurosurgery and not for the running of a country as a puppet of Gerald Butts.


Thank you.  I was going to write something similar to your second paragraph when I saw your remark.


Trump' presidency "will" have negative consequences"?

Im pretty sure the bull(y) started rearranging the china shop months ago.


I'm a lifelong Liberal. Always thought Bob Rae was far superior to the garbage ultimately put in front of the fanboys.


Tempmanoa, I disagree with your comment that the legal problems would never have happened if Trump copied Obama.  What we have seen since Trump became president is a never ending attack by liberals on anything Trump says or does. It is anti-Trumpism, plain and simple. He can copy to the letter what Obama did and liberals will pounce on it and find a reason to challenge it when the Trump name is applied.  Liberalism first, to hell with America.


"the cost of housing was better aligned with people's incomes."

In the past, working people could pay for housing. Now it's way out of whack. I have a coworker who has been couch-surfing for two years, despite a full time job. No substance use, no mental illness. Well, not yet; she's starting to crack under the pressure. She still might wind up on the street.

And I'm aware that I'm one crises from homelessness myself. It's a very insecure feeling.


OK.  So to clarify...you want to punish success?  Maybe if we taught more people about success, they could move themselves into the top 10%.  As a reasonable goal, I mean.


A good day for democrac, accountability and responsibility.


What's ironic is you can't see the difference between the two.


I'm more impressed with how intelligent this young man seems to be than with the fact that a bear crashed through his window. I see big things in this you mans future. Keep it up, young sir. You are the future of this country.


The corruption and arrogance of Crusty Clark and the B.C. Liberals is truly breathtaking, even by Liberal Party "standards."  And yes, I live in B.C.


Good - Keep up the good work


I disagree. And I have tens of thousands of miles on outside highways.  So have many other older Alaskans I would say.  So it`s not "obvious" that it`s just the drivers.  It`s "obvious" to me we need to fix our roads to a safer standard.  It`s called a SAFE infrastructure and we shouldn't kick that can down the road like we did fixing the oil tax floor.


If you have enough money, you can get whatever diagnosis you want.


Now that's a laugh,
You reply repeatedly on another thread, returning days later and only when having your multiple crud kicked to the curb, you pretend you didn't read it

You know you didn't ignore what I wrote, it was just that you were slapped so silly by verifiable facts that countered every one of your previous lies, well all you have left is one more lie, how sad is that

I provided a retort to every single one of your previous lies and now, magically you found some high ground... you just can't stop

Next time you feel like peddling your lies about most popular this, fans in the stands that, and tv ratings bull, again you will know that the myths you need to repeat are confirmed lies by nobody else but you

PS did you know that that when the leafs play nationwide free to air on CBC HNIC they pull an avg of around a million giver or take 100,000 (their highest)
But when not they played the Canadiens, the number rose to 1.613 Million on HNIC
Then add TVA 727,000, Habs again tops


The "working class" needs to go to school and study hard.  Our economy is looking for hundreds of thousands more IT workers, just to give one example of good-paying jobs available.  And of course governments cater to the "winners" - those are the ones the rest of society depends on for tax revenues, money for welfare, other forms of help.  Plus what politician would ever hang with the lower classes, everybody hangs with people in similar economic straits, so of course Trudeau wouldn't know a poor person if he tripped over one.  Who do you think he's hanging with tonight, poor people?!


JSB1, you are cherry picking by using full professor salaries.  Check out all professors from assistant on up to full professor and then report back. The numbers you are using is fronm 12 month appointment full professors.


In many areas of Alaska, I don't think you could find a child who hasn't seen what drugs and alcohol addiction involves. That's not where the problem is. Understanding why people start/try the substances they see destroying the lives of their family, friends, and community members and addressing that (however hard it may be) is the only way that will work.


I'd love to see some of those studies. And what is "voluntary?" If you're a serious drug user and violent--- are you "voluntarily" homeless?
I worked for years with that population--- and most want help, sure, on THEIR terms, i.e. let 'em stay stoned and unemployed.
"Lepers?"
Well, would you like one of these folks--- not the false image of a hard-working person now homeless, but rather any one of what I'd call riffraff that hang around 8th and Olive--- in your living room? How about crashing on your couch or in a spare bedroom?
It's time to wake up and stop letting "advocates" define the problem.
The vagrants one SEES hanging around downtown or holding signs are not "good folks w/temporary bad luck." They're people with long-term problems that would only get care if court-mandated.
Again, all this pity is wasted. They've made decisions, they've alienated friend and family alike.
Should they be allowed to gather and displace ordinary citizens?


And we can thank obama and his administration for this. He was for the black lives matter riots and against the police. Sad......very sad indeed.


So you think that Trudeau's comments are greatly exaggerated, I agree.


Tell them, Sister!


I'll always remember Dion in the debate with Harper and him saying... "That's not fair!"

 I ask you... would that be what he'd say to the Russians and Americans when negotiating for Canada?

Time for him to move along.

And as for Quebec losing influence... how many PM's in the past 50 years were from Quebec? Trudeau x 2, Martin, Chrétien, Mulroney... they're basically a plutocracy.


The circular flow of all of the revenue back into the same hands.  The pipeline owners own the entire operation from wellhead to retail pump.  They own the lawyers who litigated the case.  All of their "expenses" are just part of the circular system to never pay out a dime.  Payments to Alaska state and federal government are deducted in Alyeska books.  Pure profit without real cost to any of the oil owners.  The system is rigged right up to the DC appeals court which exists only to serve the national Corporate interests as a barrier to any judicial proceeding going any giant Corporations.  Sending the appeal to DC instead of the West Coast appeal court where the parties are actually involved is to guarantee favorable ruling from a corrupt judicial component staffed by long-time Republican appointees serving the Corporate Oligarchy.


I am so pleased you found a friend to converse with at your own level.


In her music vid she gets chased by the cops.  Go figure.


I'm seriously alarmed at the corruption and dishonesty in our federal government at the hands of Democrats.  That we have to rely on FOIA to get the truth, while Obama and Clinton drag their feet and delay and can't seem to recall simple answers elected officials should be obligated to provide.  How can educators ignore media  collusion with the DNC against Sanders, Clinton Foundation donations and access to the State Department.  How can we trust these people when they deceive at every level.  Obama lied about the Affordable Care Act.  He fails to enforce immigration laws and targets the opposition using the IRS.  Obama and Clinton lied about Benghazi.   Their staffers plead the Fifth to avoid telling the truth.  The NSA lies to us.  How can we trust their drone strikes.  How many innocents have been killed with no accountability.  We don't know and we can't trust.  Who really believes Hillary can't recall mishandling her emails?  She exemplifies dishonesty.  I vote the opposition.


Interesting to see Trump's approach to negotiations for the first time in public. Notice how he indicated he wants better terms, but didn't provide any clarification on those terms? Classic start to make the other party make the opening offer.

This man knows how to negotiate; we (TransCanada and Canada gov) had better bring our A-team to any table we share with him.

Thoughts?


I wonder if Margaret Thatcher and Golda Meir wrote books about their defeats in politics????
Oh my mistake, they WON.


Seems this event is just a way for the family to boast about how they bought the government.  Should make everyone sad.


"Had that bill with the impressive title — let's call it "Freedomcare" for short — not been vetoed by President Barack Obama, it would have meant higher costs and 32 million more Americans without health care coverage in a decade, according to a new report.

Murkowski said the veto a year ago by Obama was disappointing. Sullivan and Young said it was unfortunate."

Just read the article and our all GOP congressional legislators quotes.  Higher costs and 32 million more Americans without health care and they are "disappointed and unfortunate."  Exactly who do these yahoo's represent?....it certainly is not the American or Alaskan voters.  Yet we keep voting them in.  Come on Alaskans these people are not on your side.


It's not blame the white people. But it is true that government around the turn of the century forced many Alaska Natives to stay in a single location. Before that they where basically transient following the food supply.


This is why you at least carry mace when walking your dog.Pit owners are as bad as their maulers.I carry Kimber brand as it has 2 chambers-one for the dog and one for its owner if necessary.


I can't believe people are STILL going on about Ad Scam. It led to the Liberals getting the boot, which they deserved,  and then ten years of Harper.  Harper's scandals, and there ARE many make Ad Scam seem like chump change.  The Chretien/Martin Liberals and Harper are also the reason we are paying compensation to Khadr.  We have laws, we have a constitution and a moral compass.  We don't let 15 year olds get tortured.  We don't support 10 year incarcerations without charge.  We don't support kangaroo court decisions. If you don't like Khadr getting compensation for our country's behaviour, think about what and who you are voting for.


No worries. Still a good post


SA probably did not proof read the article before it got printed, I am assuming the sale price ends October 29 but as for the flight arrangement, it has to be after it is already making those rounds.


"The Nazis paid close attention. As they concocted their own racial statutes – the Nuremberg Laws of 1935 – they pored over American race law as a model."

What is the historical evidence for that?

Most of the top brass Nazis could not even speak English, let alone have the advanced language skills to dissect American jurisprudence.

What is the historical evidence that supports the statement in question?


No kidding. If anyone gets hurt on the property they are responsible so I hope they have a really good insurance policy.


And just will we build a new quarantine for animals?


Gary:

  Everything being said by Trump currently, has been said and can be heard from the mouth of Hillary, You Tube has many videos from the past that show Hillary commenting on everything from the "Wall" to Gay Marriage, it simply proves that she will say or do anything to increase her chances by bending in the direction of the current trends. It also goes to prove her inability to both tell the truth and stand up for what she truly believes in.
 The Clintons truly define perversity, both in their private lives and in past political performance, and anyone who feels differently is simply deluding themselves.
 Duty, Honor, Country, they used to be the hallmarks of what service to this nation consisted of, now they are simply a sick punchline for the joke political service has become. Hillary has achieved a place in history, she is the first Presidential candidate of a major party to be confirmed while under FBI investigation, that in itself should speak volumes about our nation.


So in your world, only people like Trump have the right to express a thought of an opinion?

Some champion of democracy the likes of you are. How sad that people like you exist. I guess in the past, the war protesters, the women protesters, the labor protesters all who made a difference in our world were just wrong,

The trouble with people like you Jeff is that people who support brands that represent controversy never want recognized names standing up against their cause, They are fine with no name people who command little attention but as soon as name branded people stand up people like you have a problem . Why is that Jeff.

I expect to see no shortage of these electrobuggies abandoned on the side of the road in the future if they ever leave the downtown hubs.


This was predictable. While the rest of the AL East made serious moves in the off-season to improve their teams, Toronto sat back and watched as Encarnacion  and Saunders left. Failing to properly address weaknesses in Left Field and First Base while key players like Donaldson, Bautista, Tulo and Martin have all left their best yeas behind them.. Any talk of this team making the playoffs is laughable. Get used to it. This will be the first of several long seasons.


Hilarious, isn't he?


Absolutely it's a compliment! By "homophobic trash" I meant blaming homosexuality and homosexuals for the clergy sex abuse scandals.

One of my leaps; I should have been more clear.


Bravo! This is one of the most odious acts of stupidity committed by our government; allowing Khadr to pursue the taxpayers for damages. Denying him the funds through lengthy delays or forcing him to hand it over to the family of the victim would be legal justice. A group of angry taxpayers settling the matter with Khadr in an alley would be justice.


"The Lac-Mégantic rail disaster occurred in the town of Lac-Mégantic, located in the Eastern Townships of the Canadian province of Quebec, at approximately 01:15 EDT,[1][2] on July 6, 2013, when an unattended 74-car freight train carrying Bakken Formation crude oil rolled down a 1.2% grade hill from Nantes and derailed downtown, resulting in the fire and explosion of multiple tank cars. Forty-two people were confirmed dead, with five more missing and presumed dead.[3] More than 30 buildings in the town's centre — roughly half of the downtown area — were destroyed,[2] and all but three of the thirty-nine remaining downtown buildings are to be demolished due to petroleum contamination of the townsite.[4] Initial newspaper reports described a 1-kilometre (0.6 mi) blast radius.[5]"

trump can't keep his mind on one thing  for more than 2 minutes at a time.  he will sulk, send out dumb tweets and then take a couple more golfing holidays, have a rally in front of his deluded fans, and all will be well again - until the next  debacle next week.

Maybe Trump has orange hair, but Comey may end up wearing orange from top to bottom. Likely his stunt with the leaked memos even violated his FBI employment agreement. Not looking good for him.


His personal history matters little.  What does matter is (1) the pope's pastoral experience, and (2) a consistency (even in general terms) in theology and the basic tenets of the Faith.  Amoris Laetitia is sound in its message and teaching: it is the four dissenting cardinals  and those rigid few who agree with them that are in error due to personal agendas.


As a young white man in Ontario in the 80's the most I could borrow from the bank was $3000 dollars and only after I was up and running for five years.  Two years later I closed the business but the bank was paid in full.  If you can't get enough capital to start a business it won't take off but this can happen to anyone.


What? Iran and North Korea are part of the Paris Accord? HA! HA! HA! HA!  I rest my case.


I feel it should be noted that the library is open on Mondays (and the other six days of the week) and has been for years. Closing on Mondays was from the time before the tax district was created.


I hope that you are still young enough, Jessica,  to get some education!  There may still be hope for you.


No just Obama. How about Clinton and Monica Lewinsky?!
Every president has its own dirty laundry that they use their political and presidential power to cover up or minimize any situation they perfer didn't happen. Kennedy's protected a rapist & a murderer .... the list goes on .... All the way back when Abe Lincoln had an affair and children with a black slave ...... So I'm not sure if the anti Obama comments are because he is black or if you just hate Obama ... The Busch administration led us into war for WWMD that no one seemed to find. Then there is Nixon .... Can't really think of any President that DIDN'T have something to hide and used government resources for damage control - can you?

I would only suggest wording in polls determines outcomes on polls involving "tax increases". The results are actually more favorable than any poll I have ever seen on "tax increases". These polls are usually developed by anti tax proponents that phrase the poll such that it doesn't include the amount. Phrasing it so it read "continue the current GET rate of 1/2 cents for 10 years"  would have been the correct wording.


4:20's blown a gasket. Oh wait, so has Jesse Ulery. White supremacists need a lot of therapy.


This is more an example of moral turpitude.
If Cody Latimer had displayed some football aptitude, things might be different.
However, Latimer has consistently disappointed Denver.
It's time to cut Latimer loose.
If he succeeds fine. If he fails fine.
Nonetheless, let him foul his nest in another locale.


More stop Trump stories from ADN.  Trump is right on about Muslims coming here.  We need to stop the immigration now.  Since the Orlando shooting it is reported that over 500 Syrian Muslims have come in.  Obama and Hillary are dead wrong on their immigration stands.


IRT "Trump, not Bannon, is the real problem"
I think you're half correct.   Actually, the trouble with Trump is Bannon, and the trouble with Bannon is Trump.


Because they are probably are not really based on "merit."


Probably some oriental guy.  LOL.


That's Hakkaisan brand sake, not "Haikkaison".


Nonsense. I know lots of Muslims in Canada, in China, in Japan, in the United States, and other countries whom I have met in my 287,000 kilometers of travel in the last 20 years.  You should distinguish between Islamic extremists and those who are good people. Just like in Canada. People are good and people are bad. I'm a good person. What are you?


Corruption from the top on down to the bottom it appears. The system is rigged, their candidate is a crook, and most D's seem to be OK with that?


So, you were commenting that Lisa shouldn't support Trump, and then once she does, you complain even more that it should have been done on an accelerated timeframe of your choosing?  Makes sense.


I think what he actually said Bob is, "I don't want you in my daughters bathroom". The fact that you are attempting to force yourself on my daughter's privacy will not help the LGBT communities effort to gain acceptance. It will in fact polarize the two sides. If you don't agree, look at your reply to Jay's comment.

Theft (mail, bikes, rifling through cars), public intoxication, and dumping tons of garbage and debris in our parks are crimes. The vast majority of homeless people commit crimes. Making excuses and turning a blind eye to the facts only serves to enable thier behavior and lifestyle perpetuating thier substance dependency issues. Until society has the fortitude to label thier behavior as unacceptable (illegal) and discourage it there will always be less impetus for them to seek help and change.


Thank you Globe and Mail editorial writers. I think that it about the best editorial I have read. Informative, insightful, balanced.


Cuck-a-doodle-YOU!


Insurance companies need to get creative here.  Offer the alternative to patients that when it makes financial sense, they will fund their travel expenses to any lower-48 location they choose that has reasonable expenses.  First class tickets.  Nice hotel.  Good meals.  Heck - give them the legislative per diem package.  I'm guessing that they'd save money.


This horrible, inconvenient and unsanitary system is a disgrace. Since trying to use the recycle center on West 10th (or whatever street) we've resorted to just throwing the damn things away. The people at the return center were rude, bordering on mean. The place was crowded, noisy and filthy. Why would anyone waste time and gas to drive over there? If I remember, I throw cans in the recycle bin on the curb. If Scouts or a church asks and I have a bag, I'm glad to give it to them. Otherwise, trash is trash. This system appears to be corrupt. It is certainly broken, inconvenient, inefficient and unsanitary.

One beneficial observation: We rarely get clearer evidence that, given the chance, government can and will mess up even the simplest task.
