46.00 a pund for Halibut??? That is flipping nuts. I"ll have the Black Cod, thank you. If not that, just good old P. Cod. 5.99 a pound any day.


That was already tried once. It was called the Great Mahele.


Yes the unions and union heads hated it,  the regular union worker had not so much.


Why shouldn't there be an uptick in sex assaults in the military?  The majority of these people idolize Trump, and he's all for sexual violence.

Schiff: Nunes Can’t Conduct Russia Probe While Acting As ‘Surrogate' Of WH


Pay for what?


Just goes to show that Trump has no respect for anything that does affect him personally or his party.


I looked it up for you james -

 "On days when Mr. Trump is not in the city, the department estimates that it costs $127,000 to $146,000 a day “to protect the first lady and her son while they reside in Trump Tower.” On days when Mr. Trump is in New York City — he has not yet returned since his inauguration — the Police Department anticipates “an average daily rate of $308,000.”

Tht's less than 1/3 of james' bald faced lie.    http://www.snopes.com/melania-trump-nyc-costs/


Why would 5000 people unregister to vote? The state still has their information.  If they file taxes they are all in the system with no secrets from Uncle Sam.  I suspect that they are trying to hide something.   Now if only we could get all those dang dead people to stop voting.


The Special Session has an obligation to their constituents and taxpayer to consider legislation and funding, or lack there off, to shut down Rail.  Figuring out how to throw good money after bad shouldn't be the only option.


Tempo Mento Trump


The election is over and it remains to be seen as to how Trump can enact all the things he promised.  Most readers have lived through a number of presidents and know the campaign talk and reality are never the same. Time is the only sure thing that shows what the results are.


Good for these three young men and for all of the other students who are choosing to act on their beliefs.  The fact that their actions are resulting in conversations is most encouraging, because this is the way that change gets implemented.


Am I alone in thinking that Doug's claim that long ago he was on the very spot where this tragedy happened, and presciently thought that it might, is just a little too convenient for quality journalism?


Interesting.  Committing taxpayer money to assist illegal aliens.  And she leads with this as an achievement.  This is definitely a mayor suited to the local mindset.


What a horrible situation for British Columbians.  The continuance of a propped up corrupt government willing to bargain with the devil to stay in power, versus a coalition of two democratically challenged Parties willing to subvert the democratic election process to ensure a continuance of their governance, never mind drive away business and industry with their policies and join the ranks of have not province status.  The only good coming out of this is the imminent departure of Clark.


Garrison, you are quite ignorance so I'll excuse your silly comments. During my years working in the housing units of CIPT, nearly all the native inmates I got to know and there are quite a few of them, nearly all, committed their crimes while under the influence of drug or alcohol or both. Your racist ignorance ignored the deep problem within the native people regarding both issues. Its a issue that often been ignored by native leadership and by people like you.  But issue is real and every native inmates I met, most would say that they would have never done what they had done, if they were sober. You know what? I actually believe many of them! But their crimes were far too serious to excuse them. That is the real tragedy which you are utterly ignorant of.


Thanks for clarifying. An important point and crucial to the argument.


As if there is not enough pressure on families, now we are going to criticize parents because they don't have a house in the suburbs? Give me a break.


"He had run-ins with the law dating back to 1999 when he was charged with resisting arrest, Colorado court records indicate. Denver police charged Ostrem with the misdemeanor charge of resisting arrest on Dec. 28, 1999. The case was dismissed the following year."

Um, hello, Denver Post?  Would be possible for you to ask questions and then report WHY he was being arrested?


I'm quite surprised to see the early vote results towards a High degree of urgency in dealing with N. Korea. Democrats/Liberals have no fear of possibly letting Muslim Fanatic terrorist enter the US but fear N.Korea overseas. I don't know what to think of fearing an overseas threat that could threaten masses of people in the US vs. letting in a terrorist(s) to live amongst us with a terrorist intent to harm US citizens.

imo, it's much easier to deal with N.Korea as a State than wolves in sheep clothing entering the US as refugees


WillWam, So given the tone of your comment, I gather that you approve of Liberal PM Trudeau's decision?


Gov and business listen to $. They do not listen to voters, citizens, etc.


Actually I think the individual stock approach is great. You can very easily track price movement and directly attribute it information about the company.  It would also serve as a great warning about the lack of diversification when things turn south.

You don't even have to use real money - just set up a portfolio on Google Finance.


Your attempt to compare professors who are there to teach the curriculum of the specific class to a preacher who is there to teach the word of God is lame at best.

People are required to pay money in order to get the credits required to graduate with a degree.  People go to church voluntarily to hear a preacher teach the word of God. They are free to leave at any time and there are no repercussions for doing so.

But then again... I think you knew that.  You just wanted to try to take a cheap shot at Christians.


lol, this is strickly a republican problem.  Shows the danger of voting for a party that no longer believes in its founding principles.


So? The way they structure their own internal leadership is irrelevant. Electoral reform wasn't their policy. Take it up with the Selfie, it was his promise.

Wow. Tell that to people in Ukraine or Syria now, to those in the Balkans 25 years ago, to the British, French, Dutch, etc. in WW1 and WW2, etc. "When these things are are met people won't steal or mame on a grand scale." That has to be one of the most ignorant things one could possibly write about causes of war. (But it is apparently the new-left world view.) Truly astonishing.


I give Kelly another week or two max before he quits. The problem is and always will be Trump himself. Anyone with a shred of integrity would run from this vile man.

Brexit will lead to some disaster for UK economy but you have neither space nor drive to stand up to this demise of UK politicians now.

We even see links to the industry funded denial about tobacco and burning fossil fuels, with the same "experts" being paid to deny the science and say that the folks paying them to lie about the evidence should be allowed to continue making gigabucks peddling the same old poison they always have.

On the other hand, Chrétien  hasn't been PM since 2003, and both the administrations controlling the Quebec and Federal legislatures have finally responded to the Scientific Evidence about Asbestos being a lethal product.

JT is premier. That to in time will pass, like Lying Brian Mulrony, Harper, Dubbya, Dubbya's Dad, RayGun (SDI aka starwars makes Reagan RayGun to me) and Trudeau père.


This is indeed a chiropractic ad, and it's outrageous that the Globe should print it at a time when Ottawa has made a political football of the 20% or more of adult Canadians who suffer with severe chronic pain by depriving them of the opioids they need to have any kind of life, and which has been legally and expertly prescribed for them. What's Ottawa getting for its attack on the sick and the vulnerable? In the US, the anti-opioid war was started by insurance companies and rehab centers and Ottawa is blindly following without any regard to the elephant in the room - the street addicts who make up more than 99% of opioid overdose deaths. Chronic pain patients are not contributing to this problem and there is no evidence to suggest otherwise. When called out on this, we hear of "emerging evidence", aka non-existent.
Opioids are the gold standard for treating bad pain. Chiropractors have a tenuous grip on public confidence, and, given a choice I'd be more inclined to sacrifice a goat.


Go visit the WH while the POTUS is visiting Asia.  After all, it's visiting the place not the person, right?  Have tour guides greet them and take photo ops.  Everyone walks away happy.

Michael:  I saw the Hobby Lobby "advertisement of faith" and simply chose not to read it.  That's an option which was available to everyone.

I think the Hobby Lobby owners have every right to hold and express their religious/political beliefs, including spending their money to have them published in newspapers.  You and I express our views and beliefs with Letters to the Editor.  Ironically, that Hobby Lobby ad helped pay for the Letters to the Editor feature which allowed you to condemn the ad and the RG for publishing it.  Sometimes it's amazing how that First Amendment works.

You and I may both feel that full-page statement of faith was bunk.  We have the right to feel it was and to say it was.  That's a reflection of the same freedom which protects the H-L folks right to have it published.    Question for you Michael:  How would the RG's refusal to print this ad be different from the bakery refusing to bake a cake for a same-sex marriage?  Let me know...regards, Gary

"The 15,000 data is from the annual “Service Utilization Reports” compiled from all of the homeless services providers throughout the state. And it is still known to be inaccurate and a low count, because the only agencies that report the numbers are ones that get funding from the state. So non funded organizations, churches and a number of others are not required to report their data."

Translation, those feeding at the public trough justify their state funding by manufacturing statistics.  Perchance do the one reports codify their salaries and personal expenses?


It is up to you the Ontario voter to kick your nanny state socialist wind bag to the curb like we did.


"Do we see it as violence when every year Lucy lays Charlie Brown out flat by withdrawing the football?"

I've been around for over 50 years, and remember when I was young and read Peanuts. I saw that as bullying even then. I'm not slamming Peanuts, by the way. I have no real issues with the strip, but the idea that such behavior is only recently considered "bullying" is dubious.


They can jail all the illegals:) Works for me.


Many Catholic churches are empty and many are full (likewise among all denominations in the US). Needless say, some parishes are thriving with  the "historical priesthood" and some non-Catholic churches -- that never had a "historical priesthood" -- are suffering losses. So it's not necessarily the "historical priesthood" in itself. I also don't think "flinging the doors open to let people out into the world" is a solution because "they" are already "out" like runaway horses, as it were.

The most active parishes I know of, however, consist of lay and clerical leaders showing parishioners how to do the work of disciples, of committed Christians. Liturgies at these parishes are a consequence of or the result of community action, involvement in neighborhoods, Matt. 25 in action. But liturgy and service go hand in hand, nourishing parishioners and the parish leadership team alike, mutually. Finally, such active parishes never confuse bad oversight or management with fate or patriarchy.

Amazing how people can fool themselves, trump is so far gone he may even believe he is right which could excuse his behaviour. Unfortunately his admirers can't use this excuse, they are self delusional. Well said.


Whatever one thinks of Nicolas Maduro, he won the election with a narrow majority in 2013 and his term runs through to 2019. The election turn-out was nearly 80% - much higher than in the last US election. Now, consider the US, where Trump won the election even though he lost the popular vote and where there may even have been foreign influence exercised to his benefit. If massive protests broke out in the US, would they call new elections? If not, then how can the US call for elections in Venezuela?


How about a "dumb idea" tax?
This post should taxable then.


Our good American president doesnt' run sanctuary cities you idiot!  Screwing liberals, all of you!  Support open borders and mass immigration from the cesspool of the world, the Middle East.


The ONLY people that consider President Obama a failure is people just like you.  I consider the entire Republican Party a failure and so does millions of other anti-Republican voters.  Hell, even blue blood Republicans don't like their own brethren.  What about your Do Nothing Republican-led congress and Alaska Republican majority?


Ahh! Attack the messenger when you're unable to cogently address the message.

I've noticed you do that a lot.

Here is one vet that supports Trump wholeheartedly.   Better him than any of the traitors in DNC leadership.


This has to be a joke article.....there are some SERIOUSLY stupid ass people walking this Earth.


This will be a beautiful, and sustainably built addition to the neighborhood. I agree that traffic concerns should be fully addressed. However I believe Mike Coughlin is correct that this will be a beautiful addition to the neighborhood. I also think it is more sustainable to build this building in this location as compared to building a subdivision further away from downtown.


Good editorial by the Register-Guard. I don't say that very often, but I give credit when it is due.

Now the city council must take action to make sure this does not escalate further. It is time to pass a few ordinances (if they don't already exist) requiring onlookers to maintain a greater distance from and noise levels that will not interfere with police performing an arrest, and most importantly build a jail as Springfield has done so consequences can be imposed on those who have realized there are no consequences to speak of in Eugene and who use that sad reality to break the law repeatedly.

Another subject entirely. Swing and a miss...would you like another pitch?


The problem, Sister, IS the Constitution. Any document which claims the source of its authority is "we, the people", is bound to fail. All true authority comes from God, as taught through His Holy Church. The Americanist notions of "religious liberty" and "separation of Church and state" have been repeatedly condemned as erroneous and dangerous to the faith, as well as the common good. Until our Constitution is amended to reflect Christ's kingship, this unity you seek is nothing more than a pipe dream.


yeah but 'supremacy' is not (just) about that is it, its not unlike referring to people as visible 'minorities', its not just about 'numbers'.  There are ideologies and subtexts that go along with such phrases.


Please.

Leave Toronto alone.

Turn Toronto into a City State.

Pretty bizarre to have the account "USA AMERICAN" disagree, why are you even involved trying to ruin BC for China, IN CANADA in the first place?


Speaking of NASA.

"Trump to scrap Nasa climate research in crackdown on ‘politicized science’"

<<Kevin Trenberth, senior scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, said as Nasa provides the scientific community with new instruments and techniques, the elimination of Earth sciences would be “a major setback if not devastating”.

“It could put us back into the ‘dark ages’ of almost the pre-satellite era,” he said. “It would be extremely short sighted.>>

"Kiss Canada goodbye, its going fast" And commenters using rude, bigoted names are leading the way.


Islamic state is taking responsibility for it and patting themselves on the back but it's unlikely that they are directly responsible. It's possible they trolled the sociopath in Nevada on social media. There are crazy people who get talked into doing evil things that way. It worked for Trump. He went on twitter to talk people into voting for him and slanders people who didn't. It's a peer pressure/bullying thing.


The word "hell" is referenced how many times in the Bible?  Kidd cites this as "profanity?  Maybe Ms. Kidd should be set to task redacting that word from every Bible.  I wonder what her party's Nominee for President would have to say about her "political correctness".   Kidd and her four council cohorts are definitely the apocalyptic four horsemen for Port Angeles.

If this post doesn't make the cut then it will confirm the media bias and censorship of the PDN by local government control of media either directly or indirectly by sympathetic media spokespeople and executives.

"No! I won't be good! 'Well-behaved women rarely make history'!"


Trump has signalled that national interests will be front and centre in trade negotiations and go forward larger global trade pacts are out of favour. It remains to be seen what the outcome will be on this approach. Either way Canada needs to ensure it is protecting it's own interests as best as possible in any type of trade arrangement. It's silly to suggest Canada & Mexico should stand together. As a country Canada needs to protect it's own interests and try to ensure any trade pact is reasonably equitable.

With trade countries will always try to further their own interests the danger is when those interests become too insular. We need to continually evaluate whether trade arrangements are beneficial; this goes for all countries. Being complacent on prior arrangements is not an option. Canadians need to stand together let's hope our negotiators keep our interests intact.


I'll play your game. If all DACA people go away, going away with them will be an economy unto themselves, hence, jobs will go away. Contend with that first, and then get back to me, unless you don't think DACA people spend money to buy things while they're here. If you think that, provide a source.


Thanks - I will sleep well tonight.


I wonder if this panel has any straight up Christian members who speak what the Bible says on such topics, or if a person like that would be branded a hater and censored. No one in this group of panel members seems to be such a person, so I wonder why that is the case.


That is what is wrong with Canada, complacent, non motivated folks willing to settle for mediocrity. Must be a millennial or gen x thing.  I came from less than nothing and took the most difficult highest paying jobs I could find and as a result could have retired 10 years ago. I earn my wages everyday and then some.  I do see some young people with that kind of drive today.....but not many.

An empty stomach is a great motivator something most folks could benefit from instead of thinking society owes them something.


Rome a welfare State?  That's a good one.  What charity there was given in the slums was only the recognition that there were tens of thousands more in the slums than in the class embodied in the Roman Senate.  Unless you are referring to the Roman Legions as a welfare state, then you might have a point.


Tell me how I am wrong for asking this question. Great reply though very pertinent to the topic at hand.


So we shouldn't be assured by the team Trump has put in place, because he plans to fire anyone who doesn't obey Dear Leader, Kim il Don.

Don't expect the spineless Ryan or chinless McConnell to stand up to him either.

Mike and Debbie should be genuinely worried.

Can you cite some examples?


But you trust greedy, price gouging for profit middle men whose sole objective is to deny care in order to make money?Exactly what foul play do you think the government sending a check to your Healthcare provider, will be inflicted upon you. Is there some eugenics experiment being inflicted upon medicaid and Medicare patients I'm unaware of?


What would we do without the G&M inviting such sharp intellects to contribute their precious time and effort?

We would all get along a lot better without all the  race baiting and sniveling anti white propaganda.


Trump lies all the time. Making a fact based, true, statement is an exception for him, not the norm.

https://www.google.ca/#q=trump+fact+check&*


But Hillary is a billionaire and Obama is quickly headed to that same designation. Why blame the Republicans alone? You are suggesting that Democrats cannot be oligarchs?


We should all wake up to the fact that in recent years most polls have been wrong, some dead wrong. Even polling in Great Britain on the Brexit, including gambling polls, were wrong. They all expected Brexit would fail and it succeeded. It is time for us to stop relying on polls. They have outlived their usefulness and are a waste of money.


Civil Rights are bigger than football games, so we'll agree to disagree.


Getting the art in there now will make the transition to a mosque much easier and gentler.


I had a more comprehensive reply, but it was censored.

Anyway, see the Financial Time's headline today:

"London Bridge Attacker Known Member of Extremist Network,  Khuram filmed praying to black Islamist flag in Regent's Park."

The point here is that radical Islamists like Khuram need to be dealt with before they commit atrocities.

Khan's strategy is to deal with terrorists after they have committed atrocities.

If Khan had advocated an effective strategy for dealing with terrorists like Khuram, then the latest tragedy might have been prevented.

Khan's failed policy of complacency and lack of prevention is unacceptable.

Since this post is criticizing a globalist like Khan, perhaps the censors will eliminate it as well.

Ms. Chong is indeed correct that Oliver Lee and his followers were vindicated-- vindicated, but sadly at the loss of so much life by both the Vietnamese and US and allied troops. There is an excellent book on what happened after the fall of South Vietnam to the rule of the Viet Cong about specific Vietnamese during the war and after the war. One story was about how people who fled the war and settled in the US, but many returned including a man who returned to head the Vietnamese office of Federal Express. And the story of the Vietnamese pilot who was trained in Texas and fought against the Viet Cong, but ended up strafing the South Vietnamese "White House". He became the head of the Vietnamese Airline. Today many US tourists go to Hanoi and what was once Saigon and now "Ho Chih Minh City".

And as I have pointed out to Anchorage-area media outlets and state legislators, to no effect, precisely WHY is Gorilla Fireworks allowed to advertise fireworks on Anchorage television and radio outlets (which they do almost endlessly around the Fourth of July and New Years Day), when their product is illegal for 99% of the viewing or listening audience to use in the first place?


And your "Anti Muslim " rhetoric is clearly on display here. The person is clearly asking advice and is open about their history. All they want is a little advice and not a mouthful or crap from people like you. Without "Social Justice" there are many things in your tiny life that wouldn't have happened that you take for granted. Get over your self worth


RIP Steve, you'll be greatly missed. We'll take care your family man. I'm so sorry.


This despicable act is not isolated and it is directly related to how adults have been representing themselves in society today, The "pack mentality" preys on the perceived weaker one out of fear that if they break from the pack they could be the next weaker one and the roots can be traced right back to a sickening mix of politics and religion, We had a similar murder here 13 youths involved in the beating death of one young man at a local boat ramp during the trials it was repeatably brought up that all the defendants parents were of the same political party and tied to the Tea Party and all the defendants belonged to the Baptist faith with 11 of the 13 attending the same church, This is not to condemn anyone but it should give us ( adults ) pause to step back and reevaluate what  our children are gleaning from our stewardship.  My heart goes out to these parents may they somehow find peace in their lives  :  (

and "calice" as in "chalice".


CS:  Thank you for your kind words.  We often disagree on issues but that doesn't mean we can't discuss issues in a civil fashion.

The Russian involvement has been investigated and, according to the FBI and NSA, has been validated.  The possible involvement of Trump Campaign officials has been alleged but, as you say, not established.  I do think a special counsel investigation would be merited.  As I said before, investigations can establish both innocence and/or guilt...A truly independent investigation would clear the air.

"This is not a thirld world country where political opponents are persecuted on allegations" I agree on this.  That's why Trump's comments and Trump followers chanting "Lock Her Up" bother me.

regards, Gary Crum


Again, I agree (more or less). But when we're dealing with cases of clergy abuse, it's very important to distinguish between "legal" authority and "canonical" or "moral" authority. One of the reasons this problem happened in the first place was that bishops blurred the lines between those various types of authority.

I just want to approach this from a position of fairness and common sense. If we criticize the Church for maintaining a relationship with pedophile priests before they're convicted, then it's unreasonable to expect them to maintain a relationship after those priests are released.

Once a clergy-abuser is in the criminal justice system, then it becomes the state's job -- not the Church's -- to protect society from that person. If what the state is doing isn't adequate, that's not the fault of the Church.


Motley:  I think Guestquared is about as fond of you as he/she is me.  I do like your response.......Gary


Are you saying that Jm11157's children or grandchildren will move to Saudi Arabia?  Or will the Saudi government invade Canada (with the military vehicles we're selling them)  and impose their laws on us? Because those are about the only ways his children and grandchildren will live under Sharia.


This board is hilarious. The usual Democrat mouthpieces on the DP boards are trying to pretend that Clinton did nothing wrong and claiming much of the data is not verified, yet pretend to know for certain Trump is a "Russian Puppet" even though Mueller has found nothing that directly links Trump to anything illegal. It's time for Democrats to realize the fact that both parties do some illegal things, but only their side is dumb enough to record their crimes and leave a paper trail


Anyone killed by a cop is not justifiable unless other measures have been attempted. What is missing from this article is what crime did  Mr. Crutcher commit in the first place? Be a large black man with a broken down vehicle in the middle of the road? Why the heavy police response? Race has become an issue in this whole discussion as too many police officers assume if you are a black male with a gun (or not) you are a threat, if you are a white male with a gun you are exercising your 2nd amendment rights.


Hate speach  is not a threat ..it is the expression of ones feelings ..censoring the expression of an others feelings  is  hatefull


And then over half of the workforce would be near the poverty line.  Should really help all of the businesses they spend money at.


My biggest concern with this debate is the definition of small family business. I admittedly need an education on this subject but my impression of myth vs reality is the following:
In these comments people seem to imply that our economy is being driven by a vast network of mom and pop businesses that are keeping alive the small town/vibrant main street dream. My gut feeling is that small businesses for the most part don't exist in that form but are big corporation mini-mes that are just trying to maximize profits rather than building communities. Maximizing profit is all good and fine but taxation an closing loopholes is a reality and an overall bigger benefit to society as a whole. I've said it before in relation to these proposals-none of the do away with these benefits but rather close loopholes that are unfair and tighten limits. None of that is punitive.


“...Some tax experts say the tax overhaul might also hurt those who aspire to be middle class. The bottom half of taxpayers now pay no net income tax, according to Treasury Department figures. Many receive refunds via the Earned Income Tax Credit. The plan unveiled Thursday would require eligible taxpayers to provide their Social Security Number to receive this benefit, thereby creating a possible delay in receiving a refund as the IRS enforces this provision...”

My goodness, what a terrible hardship to inflict upon illegal aliens. They must now provide a social security number in order to receive money for nothing.  What a heartless provision.  No wonder democrats are against this bill.  Of course they are always against letting people keep their own money.  How will they make a better world without controlling all the wealth?


The United States is seen a a leader in our global political world. So yes, backing out IS a major problem.

We complain to the Americans that we're not subsidizing our softwood industry and then we go ahead and subsidize the softwood industry. Oh boy.


"President Obama had to promise what it was not his to promise, that all Americans could keep their health insurance plans if they wanted to."

"None of this skirting of the truth comes close to the level of deceit we see from the incumbent president."

The nation begged to differ -- they feel Obama was the bigger liar.

Enjoy the next 7.5 years.

And thanks for admitting that Obama lied.


You need mental help.


A project of this size and expense should last for generations; when the first urban subways were constructed in several east coast cities, they were state of the art, betting on a new, not yet proven technology of electrification. They excited the people, and enabled transportation around and outside the city, creating suburbs and new economic activity.

Our rail, more than a century later, is unlikely to be useful even a few decades from now. The modern equivalent to electrification is self driving vehicles taking people point to point, eliminating the need for garages, car ownership, and vastly improving the utility of our road networks. Even the biggest rail supports could not honestly argue that anyone is excited about the current state of the project.

Too bad no one in government has the fortitude to rethink the entire project, and go find companies that want to use our island as a proving ground for a 21st century mode of transport.

Liberals only held a 2.3% lead over the Conservatives with 35.3% popularity just before Canada Day.

The recent Khadr decision will certainly drop the Liberals further

How I wish Eric Grenier still had his 301.com website updated. I miss his offerings.

And Captain Crayon's popularity is plummeting Cassandra. He was only at 53% in late June and likely far below that now due to the Khadr decision. Remember he was once as high as 72% until Canadians finally realized his high level of incompetence is permanent and irreversible regardless of how much time he's given to learn the ropes.

Scheer (46%) isn't far off from Ambrose's (51%) numbers considering the limited amount of time he's been in the spotlight


No, my income was cut by 1.5%. Again, math isn't your strong suit.


So, if they have the "right" to fully cover themselves, then I have the right to fully uncover myself and walk naked on the streets? If I do so I won't be able to walk 100 m without being arrested for indecent exposure, am I entitled to claim violation of my freedom rights if that were to happen? At some point common sense has to take over, meaning that the two extremes (fully covered vs. fully uncovered) are not acceptable in our society, and we have to meet in the middle.


Better than selling BC out to the foreign corporate interests who own Alberta as well.


I'd like to see em hang. Just to set an example. If the punishment is to fit the crime I'm available with my neatly pressed dark suit and my Bible. I'm sure somebody in Wasilla has got the rope.


I'm not disputing that COP and the underwriters will get theirs.  COP has apologetically said that holding CVE shares for 6 months was the best deal they could get.  What I am saying is that Big Oil just dumped billions of long term liability on Canadian taxpayers for the massive bets that CNRL and CVE are taking in buying out Shell and COP.


Paul says nothing about the ordination of men either.


"At least now all the liberals out their (sic) admit to this fact [a 30-year plan by the Chinese to conquer the world]..."

Really?  You use the small "L" so, that leaves out the provincial government.  I take it you mean liberal-minded people.  That means you're talking about me. You're wrong:  I do NOT believe there is a 30-year plan to conquer the world. I really hesitate before calling people xenophobes or racists, too.  I do call some "kooks"--and I think you're one of them, Klens75.


Nice story, Charles. Thank you.


Heck no, I am all for locking up offenders. I am against "which hunts." There should be strong minimum incarcerations for "rapists" and dangerous offenders need to be kept off of the streets.
Since the Globe started reporting this nobody has answered how the unfounded rate of assault compares to the unfounded rate of sexual assault. Also, what kind of sexual assault is unfounded? Are they aggravated or bum pinching. I don't mean to say anyone should put up with that behavior but that is pretty hard to build a case around and would be best dealt with by education rather than piling a sexual assault charge on an 18 year old boy whose brain is not fully developed.
I am neither a hugger nor a kisser but a lot of people are and to be honest I feel assaulted when somebody wants to give me a hug. For me, not a pleasant experience at all.


Disgusting. Aniva should never walk among free people again. Laws and traditions concerning treatment of women are so abhorrent in many places in the world. So fowl.


I don't doubt it's your intention to be impartial. But when you are being paid by Civil Beat it inevitably triggers skepticism about the choices you make when you critique their competitors as opposed to CB. I would have the same concerns if the New York Times ombudsman started critiquing Washington Post reporters and stories. It's often more the perception of conflict that is the tricky part.


Are you really that stupid!?


I couldn't stop laughing at the title.  This also tells me that agents are getting really desperate.....


I think it is fair to treat legitimate refugees who have medical needs, Canada needs to do at least some small part to help out people who have been displaced for war, political persecution, etc.

What gets me though is that even people who have obviously bogus refugee claims and those who have had their claims denied but are delaying things on appeals or just haven't yet been deported are ALSO provided medical care.  And not just the same medical care as Canadians receive, they actually receive superior coverage to Canadian citizens including such things as vision care, dental care and prescription drug coverage.

Trudeau's Liberals deserve nothing but scorn for favouring fake refugee claimants over real refugees or Canadians citizens when they re-instated this coverage that had previously been removed by the Harper Conservatives.

Oh, you mean that Bill that has only passed the House, hasn't been taken up by the Senate and hasn't been signed by the President to become law?  That one?  The law that isn't a law yet, and will be amended/changed/modified before it sees the light of the President's desk, if ever?  That one?  The one that hasn't changed a single thing yet?


It's way past time to pass this bill! There simply are no facts -- except alternative ones -- to support the archaic approach Hawaii law enforcement seems determined to cleave to. If the Prosecutor's office is genuinely concerned about the "message" it sends to the public, Katherine Kealoha would no longer be employed there.

No...the renewables are dying. During the last three years of heat around the Gulf of Alaska, spruce aphids attacked the trees in the Homer area. It is now clear that this killed many of them. There is hope that the cooler winter we are currently experiencing might stop them for a while until the next El Nino. Do NOT try to pull this oil industry scam...'much higher levels of pollution will have to be tolerated when renewable organics are used for fuel'.

This DACA issue is a case in point why I voted for Trump.
Obama's executive overreach created this problem for these illegal immigrants.
He gave them a false sense of security--- that they would be considered legal if they came here illegally.
He told us that he couldn't change the law willy-nilly before then.Remember?
Where is the outrage about this reckless, hurtful behavior?
Obama and the Progressive Predators use these people to build up their voting base and when things don't go as planned, it's the Republicans or the Christians fault?
Trump is working hard to restore lawfulness to government so that innocent people will
understand the law of the land.They will then be in the best situation possible to evaluate
the risks involved if they decide to violate the law.
Unambiguous, non-contradictory  law avoids the exploitation that the Left is notorious for, and respects everyone including taxpaying Americans and immigrants who follow the law.
That's Christian respect and empathy.

I don't find it reasonable for you to say "I don't want to not pay attention to you so you cannot be here."

Russia's military intervention in Syria is not much different than America's intervention in Iraq. Propping up and overthrowing a brutal dictator respectively,  the underlying motivations were nevertheless the same and they had nothing to do with the welfare of the people. In both cases, it has produced tremendous death and destruction with little if any promise of peace and security in the region.

Russia's invasion of the Ukraine and annexation of the Crimea is a different matter. It lacked even the veneer of
legitimacy. It amounted to naked aggression and hegemony. Absent NATO, Putin would wreak his own brand of terrorism across Eastern Europe. Continue to talk with Russia by all means, but talking is not the same as turning a blind eye to Putin's plan to re-create the Soviet bloc by force.

Canada's role is of little consequence. Whether Putin succeeds with his plan is really down to Donald Trump. And that can't be comforting for the nations whose sovereignty is under threat.


Yet another major US metropolis with a Democrat mayor.


A friend of mine in college was stabbed to death by a street person who heard God tell him to do it. Does that mean every homeless person should be locked up? You are (I suspect knowingly) trying to pass off a logical fallacy, attributing an act by one of a group to condemn the whole group. That's been done for at least several millennia, and it's as dishonest and wrong-headed now as it always has been.


Um, no it doesn't.  The oil sands it the # producer of GHG emissions in Canada.

This is all BS))) Russia is a 3rd world country with roughly 10% of cyber capability. The only influence that Russia made in this election is ONLY mass media when every Russian government body was saying that Trump is a cool guy!

Mekun, you seem unaware of your own history. This country has been a giant affirmative action program for people that Europe didn't need or want. Those folks were so violent that they committed ethnic cleansing of the natives. Then they built the macro economy on race based slavery. In 1860, 80% of the wealth of the nation was in black slaves and their labor. The civil war between white racists and black folks has never really ended. As a beneficiary of AA, you don't know what you have earned and what you were given for just showing up white. Get a good education. Globalization is not kind to the poorly educated.


I suppose few will agree with me, but I'd like to see a substantial tax on all alcohol sales. No, I don't want a new prohibition, but I see first-hand the result of people who are really too poor to drink but insist on doing so.

You ask, "How is it that you conclude that because I do not subscribe to your "rule" interpretation of what Jesus said about marriage therefore my approach "is the opposite of humble obedience, the opposite of love of God?"

Because:
1)  As to whether Jesus' pronouncement is a rule:
When an authority says you may not do X, unless Y, that is a "law," a "rule," if you will.  You are obstinate in denying this.  God does not enact statutes; he tells us his law through Scripture and through Jesus himself telling us what to do and not to do.  No reasonable person can deny that Jesus' pronouncement on divorce is a "rule" or a law or a commandment.

2)  As to the content of the rule:
Mine is no "interpretation."  The rule's meaning is plain on its face.  You refuse to say what Jesus intended to say about divorce, evading for the third time now.  This is not good faith argument.  That's the least of it.  You're neither humble nor obedient.

3)  The rule is Jesus', not mine.

In Milo's "apology" he said "it's not the worst thing that can happen to someone, much worse things have happened to me..." This is very important point.
:
Society is always holding a mirror up to you and telling you who you are but only you can say. What we've seen in the case of Amanda who committed suicide because of the guilt society's mirror put onto her - was truly unfortunate.  And people like Milo who are accused of being a monster, who have also committed suicide over their sexual orientation. That is why the subject is so important and people like Milo are so important. Hence that is what free speech is and why free speech is so important and why Milo proclaimed there is such a problem with free speech in America because people can not talk about it.

The climate has changed throughout Earth's long geologic history. However, it has always changed in response to something. The Permian extinction and wild climatic swings, were caused by massive volcanic eruptions in what we now call Siberia. An ice age was triggered by the isthmus of Panama closing off the equatorial ocean current. Droughts in Africa were caused by the last ice age...and today's changing climate is also being caused by something...scientists whose life's work is to study this know what it is. Every world leader (except for one) knows what it is. There are a shrinking number of people who want to blame natural factors, and disregard the gigatones of CO2 & Methane we have been emitting - it is certainly their choice to do so. And just a note about those who equate understanding Anthropogenic Global Warming with liberal views...it is really only the political right in the USA (and nowhere else) that fights all facts, research and action on this issue.

Thank you, Brett.

There certainly is a lot of "spin" going on.  These days political and popular figures can fabricate story lines on  any issue to create distraction from salient issues.   National tv media is often very quick to respond to any news breaking tweet or comment.  In the past, being first to break a story indicated a lot of time and investigation behind the scenes.  As you pointed out..."speed isn't the most important factor".

People in general avail themselves to media that supports their beliefs, whether it is well researched or not.  What or whom we support is based more upon emotion than we like to think.  What media reporters cover or how they chose to present a story is no different than what media consumers chose to absorb (or not).

Your thoughts on giving time before responding to comments is well taken.  Perhaps looking at our own emotional responses to comments before writing online would promote the civil discourse that Civil Beat encourages.

Excellent article exposing what’s going on behind the scenes at the RJC in our name. This is the same despicable behavior that I’m concerned has infected policing in general, with perhaps more deadly consequences. Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. If authority, in whatever it’s form, is institutionally not held accountable, then I’m afraid we end up getting what we currently have in the current versions of Congress, the MSM, the MIC, POTUS, SCOTUS, policing...ad nauseum.

Unbelievable.  Our tax dollars now being doled out to be prop up housing prices and then deposited gleefully into the hands of developers and vendors.

Bill:  Interesting premise.... However, it's not always the case that concomitance implies causality.  Yesterday I wore new socks and last night it rained.  That certainly doesn't mean my wearing new socks caused it to rain.  Additionally, of course, we might consider "cause and effect."  Liberalism, for example, has emerged and flourished in reaction to difficult times;  the Abolitionish Movement in reaction to slavery; the Progressive Movement in reaction to The Guilded Age; and FDR liberal thought and action in reaction to the Depression.  I would suggest that advances in liberal thought are reactions to the many problems of our nation's history over the last fifty plus years...racial, gender and class inequalities leading the way.

Affordable housing? Eliminating tolls? Killing big projects? Transit? I don't see much here for rural B.C., which is hardly surprising: Horgan made few trips north of the Fraser Valley during the election (I live in Fraser-Nicola, considered one of the tightest ridings in the province, and Horgan didn't show up once to support the NDP candidate), and has almost no support north of the Fraser in terms of seats; the Green's three seats are on the island.

A lot of people in rural areas are counting on those good-paying pipeline and Site C jobs. What will the NDP/Green partnership replace them with, to prevent a further exodus from rural areas? Affordable housing isn't much of an issue outside the Lower Mainland and southern Vancouver Island. As for tolls: the Coquihalla was tolled for more than two decades under a succession of parties (including the NDP; the toll was removed by the Liberals). And transit is, again, only an issue in the Lower Mainland. Rural BC gets ignored again.


"It takes effort to address this issue, which requires our assiduous attention if all people are to have the opportunity to assume their rightful place in Canadian society as contributing and productive citizens capable of contributing to nation building."

  Stereotyping, racism, xenophobia, and scapegoating (along with sexism, homophobia and ageism) are always worse in hard economic times, used by politicians to distract from increasing gaps between rich, middle class, working folks and the poor.

  If "democracy" is about choice, despite the illusion of "inclusiveness", struggling, angry, and manipulative folks are free to dislike any of a variety of scapegoats.

   It's very sad that in 2017, as the economy grows more unequal, scapegoating is quietly more prevalent than ever.

   Genuine Scandinavian social democracies have none of these issues. Individual happiness and community harmony prevail. Unemployment, crime, discrimination are minimal. There's our role models.


Actually, during the Eucharistic Prayer, we are all (People of God in the assembly, including the priest, who is said to be acting in Persona Christi at this moment in time) facing the bread and the wine on the altar (symbol of God and of the sacrifice of Calvary) as the Holy Spirit is called down upon the elements in the epiclesis. We are all facing the Divine who is manifest under the species of bread and wine. The focal point is surely the Eucharist, the Real Presence of Jesus, and not nautical directions, not the priest, etc, etc. And, quite pragmatically, the priest is not standing in our way, obscuring this point of focus from our line of sight!


As BC residents suffer with these wildfires, we can support them.
Just like in the Fort Mc disaster, Canadians show we all in this together.

@Ausexpat: Okay, so you are admitting that the market is not free and that this initial assertion you made is inaccurate: "The housing market is a place where sellers and buyers willingly agree to a price that they both determine is rational. Government intervention will only distort this dynamic and the market will adjust accordingly with a series of unintended political, social and economic consequences."

Presumably, you will stop arguing from this position in the future.

I will respond to your other points in a follow-up.


ummm, well muckamuck I -did- acknowledge Mr. Walker wanting to own the problems (ie., show leadership) Your comment was about Mr. Walker acting alone and I replied back that he -did- in fact act alone.  Apologies if you read my comments as rambling, as that is certainly not my intent to bore you or anyone else.  The checks and balances you speak of, muckamuck, involve the legislature -and- the 'guvner and, in this specific case (cutting the PFD) it was one man acting alone.  And as far as school goes, you're probably right about civics class.  And math class.  And history class.  And chemistry class.  And biology class.  See, I quit school when I was much younger and a lot more stupid than I even am now, but I never let that get in the way of living my life and working as an independent software developer.  And sometimes I even have an opinion.  Sorry it doesn't fit with yours, but there is little danger of innovation where everyone thinks alike.


So you will drive more then 100 k from your recharge station.  Don't dumb as in dead dummy.


Trump is a despicable human being, incompetent in his job, a disgrace to America and what it stands for and needs to be removed.


You know when the Province is handling liquor and insurance they will be expensive. When you work for those institutions you know you have a good paying job. Best stay there as the state is looking after you  but of course the items the public is paying for are far more expensive then they should be or could be.

I don't know about you but I've started to pretty much use those two words  interchangeably  twy4d. hahahahaha


Spider, did you even read this article?
Much more idenuous men then women meet a violent end, AND this is not relevant?


Social terrotism?  Do you even know what the definition of terrorism is?


I would believe a former diplomat before believing any of the posters here.  Experience counts.


What a fantastic collaboration by all of these forward thinking agencies and organizations! My 12 year old asked about this and when I explained it to her, she said, "Oh, so it's like the Smilemobile?" YES! It's just like that. . . offering accessible healthcare where it's needed. I'm proud of our community for being this proactive in meeting the needs of our children.
SBHCs are proven to help keep kids in school, raise GPAs and graduation rates and keep kids healthy. Wins all around. Two thumbs up.


Yeah, keep bringing them in from other country's there's plenty of room for them just now not enough time and money for our children now.


Following on the heels of the moving claims and the Monstef revelations, I think we're seeing signs that this government needs a wake up call on ethics.

After reading this silly "analysis", I have lost respect for any of Carrick's opinions on personal finance.
To not factor in rent is ridiculous.


MS,  Your statement is not logical.  First you claim that only a few hard working Alaskans will have to pay an income tax.  Now you state that a majority of Alaskans do not want to be taxed, and then you claim the D's want to take the $ and give it to "big interests'.  Didn't the Senate want to quadruple the payments this session to the oil and gas "welfare credit" industry?

Now I agree that most people do not want  to make any contribution such as a state
income tax, while continuing to receive a state dividend.  They do not want to pay taxes on a home, but would rather receive free services.

However, if an income tax does pass, then only Alaskan residents would receive a dividend, while non-residents working in Alaska would pay the income tax and receive no dividend from the state. I think you are off base, even for your base.


Funny, because it's your political comrades physically assaulting people in the streets, breaking windows, burning cars and rioting. The anti-fascists have become the new fascists.


I am sorry, I did not let you know that I did read your reference and at least 4 others. While your reference is from the Southern Poverty Law Center, a hard left group, they were fairly accurate but did not point out political affiliation in great detail. Many other sources, including Wikipedia, did note political affiliation. KKK was formed and had three separate strong time frames. In the first two, they were exclusively democratic. In the third, they were almost entirely democratic with a few others, not affiliated with a party. The Dixiecrats were very strong with KKK support in the south until the 60's. When the Dixiecrats failed to have success in their bid for president, four of them switched party to become republicans and the hundreds of other remained with the democratic party. Strom Thurmond was their presidential nominee but was one of the four who switched and over time he moderated his views as they evolved. The same views that moderated and evolved for Robert Byrd.

You're a liar. I asked Gabriel about attempting to light up outside. He also says "you're s liar".
He knows the law. Why lie?


Move to Europe!


This is simply political extortion, the Michigan quality is inferior because of the union demands. Trump just shot himself in the foot and that is dangerous because his foot is generally in his mouth.


Of the 50 state governors, 31 are Republican.  I'm confident they will guard our elections and make them fair.

If Trump carries Alabama this election, I am also confident he'll have won it fair and square.


This so-called reporter couldn't keep to the facts but had to editorialize and find some opportunity to criticize Trump.


No doubt there is a medical issue involved.  I disagree on the treatment and solutions offered by liberal society. Their solution to the disorder is for everyone else to go a long with the gag and enable the person's delusion.

For example, in the case of someone who is clearly a man, but thinks they are a women--liberals tell us that we have to play along with their mental delusion.  Doctors change their appearance to make the  man look more feminine.  The law gives them a paper that claims what is clearly a man is not legally considered a women.  That is what I disagree with. You don't treat what is clearly a mental disorder by trying to alter objective reality and force it to conform to a mental delusion.


Great article! The details of police reform are usually out of the public eye.

I've just read the relevant sections of the legislation and the SPMA agreement. I didn't see a section indicating how arbitrations would create an accountability system that is "open to the public" as per Ian Warner's email. Arbitrations are usually confidential. The SPMA agreement states that information about OPA investigations would be restricted to the SPD, OPA, etc., and otherwise available only through a public disclosure request. That looks like less transparency and several steps back to the old status quo.

What's the rush? This agreement is being promoted by the office of an interim mayor who was not directly elected by the people. We have a newly elected mayor who will have to be accountable for policing—a social and racial justice, life-or-death issue. Let Jenny Durkan review the agreement and receive informed public comment over a reasonable time period before it is approved.


So the fact private vehicles account for 27% of our green house emissions in Canada is nothing?   Really?    Seems to me with EV's we could solve 1/4 of our pollution problem.


What's that old saying..." Be careful what wish for - or bitch about constantly - because it could just happen."


Trump is doing fine.
The hysterical political chants from the left are nothing more than their expression of pain as they feel the remedial exorcise they need to go through to purge the cancerous infection America has been afflicted with, as a result of socialist- destructive ideologies inflicted to the population including Colleges and Universities by the likes of Obama, Clinton, to name a couple, sickening agendas.
No to worry, America will regain her health , be sane and prosperous once again.


Is this an article or opinion piece?  The language and tone of the article are clearly meant to steer the reader into opposing Mr. Peterson.  I've followed this issue and Mr. Peterson has stated that compelled speech is his problem with this issue.  That is having your words dictated to you by the government.  Also, his research grants suddenly were not approved this year, just after this issue became popular, the governments sneaky way of trying to silence him so his Patreon income was made to help fund his research, paid for by the people.  And, lastly we live in a Capitalist society it isn't wrong to make money and as far as I am concerned if he makes some money while opposing C-16 then good for him.


Since when was creating pipelines / tankers to China fuel them? Do you all enjoy market fraud and lies ?


We can test that statement if Hillary gets in.


Another example of the shady alt energy paradigm.


Unfortunately we are at a point where a BB gun is considered dangerous by the police. How very sad!


We don't see that many Estate cars here because the majority of Americans will not buy them.  The Porsche Estate will likely take  market share from Mercedes and impact sales of the E Class Estate  more than other competitors.  If I was shopping for an uber wagen it would be the Porsche or the Merc.


O'Leary has been against carbon taxes but still wants to force companies to reduce carbon or 'go to jail'  Andrew Scheer is against any carbon taxes or other economic impediments.  The two candidates are night and day in terms of tone, but either would be a better option than Trudeau.


Now, if the Trump and Republicans do not want to accept what is presented by the scientific community so be it, but reviving this 19th century legislation shows that they are not refuting what is said but trying to control it.
From this article:
She noted that the government had ample avenues for intimidation, including the so-called “Holman rule,” a 19th-century procedural rule newly reinstated by the Republican-led House, that allows lawmakers to reduce the pay of an individual federal employee to $1

Used to work for him.  Good man.


Its' all about the hair I tell ya.

Kim, Trudeau, Trump, even Macron and his $10,000 per month stylist....

Good, bad, stylish, unbelievable, its' all about the hair!

Kim on the other hand, has elevated things to a Steve Jobs/Zuckerberg level of "mono-style" with the suits. Yes the suits!

They are the most - the collar-less shirt jackets and matching pants...I am thinking of cleaning out my closet, and sending to Pyongyang for oh, 20 or so identical midnight navy outfits. Get my tailor to fit them properly, and I will be stylin'


How sad. Prayers for his family...

Sheriff Joe will not be running for Senate. He will endorse Kelli Ward in the primary. She is already way way ahead of Jeff the Flake.


I think it important to note that fascism isn't restricted to one side of the ideological spectrum, even though in popular usage we associate the term "fascism" mainly with right-wing ideology. It's also been noted that religionism can in some cases be viewed as a form of fascism, particularly when there is inadequate separation of the roles of church and state.


Iol revenue has benefited all of us, including Shishmaref and their state funded pork project sea wall. But that money is no more. There is no conceivable tax high enough that can fund this state at even 1/2 of its current spending so no matter what, projects like this will become a thing of the past.


Glad to know Colorado public is protected from these polluters, and they, not tax dollars will pay for clean up.  Texas is on of the most polluted states in our country and we need to keep them out of our state!


So tell me ADN! is it because I'm indigenous to Alaska or is it because I'm a conservative or is it both?


That's just silly, Jean. Yes, safe. If you would research the issue you would find out that crime increases and goes unreported the more local police act with and cooperate with immigration agents. That makes cities less safe, all while the feds fail to do their jobs.


If you want to fly for FREE, shouldn't you comply with the airlines dress codes?  Just my opinion...


I just don't get why people would pay to listen to just her. If it were both Obamas or just Barack, I'd get it because he was the President for 2 terms and was in the big meetings that dictated American policy. He would have really interesting things to say. All Michelle did was change elementary school lunch menus and get pampered with taxpayer money (like all other first ladies).


What we are witnessing across North America right now  is the absolute failure of the Public School systems to teach anything resembling rational  thought


What we need is briefings for the public (who often are smarter than those in office), with all elected officials and their staffs banned. punishment for this no-no, all those who attended will have to remain out in the open during attacks. They can be the guinea pigs. This should not have been a secret meeting.


You hear that, weewili??? USA is next!!!

Finally someone saves the "needy" kids!!!


Dear Allan R
"clearly doesn't unique to Muslims." ???
-
anyway it could just be a ZONING or NIMBY issue
and not anti-Muslim
-
Jewish and Catholic cemeteries are in Jewish and Catholic areas
this proposed Muslim cemetery is not in a Muslim area but in the middle of small town Quebec
small town folds are conservative
a Jewish, Hindu,  Buddhist cemetery probably also would have been rejected
So not necessarily anti-Muslim


Being told and reminded everyday from 2007 till now of “#Zupta #Zupta #Zupta”, do you think that we stand a chance to not want to chant “#Zupta #Zupta #Zupta #ZumaMustFall”? Linking everything to Guptas is just the propaganda taken by White media.


Should of let him swim.  Maybe we would of been rid of one more criminal.  Good Lord!


Victim's DOB is 6/19/88. Arnold started texting and messaging her in January 2007.

Ultimately, not sure it makes his actions (forcing wine on her) any less creepy. Mike's a funny guy; I bet he sees Bill Cosby as an inspiration.

Jacy Arnold is a divorce attorney who was pregnant at the time. As the saying goes: Physician, heal thyself!


Is your hand up?

Uh, no.

Game, set, match.


CMD: Your reply to my question is typical of Title 25-INDIANS advocates when challenged by the United States Constitution…all bluster and no substance.  Your posts are merely opinions lacking any U.S. Constitutional support.  You are a U.S./State citizen with “Indian ancestry/race” entitled to no more and no less than every other non-Indian U.S./State citizen…anything to the contrary is plain ‘racial entitlements’ manifest in the un-Constitutional Title 25-INDIANS and is foreclosed by the United States Constitution and certainly nothing resembling 'sovereign Native tribes...' as you assert!"


It's only a fantasy in the sense of being improbable. But it could have happened; its "success", depending on your point of view, would have depended on how convention was interpreted and enforced.


What I do not understand, if there is not a racist undertone to the organization, why do they get so upset when signs are changed to ALL lives matter?   If they are truly caring about all lives,  why should they get so upset?


Oh sweetie, your crazy switch doesn't have an off setting does it?  That is why your ol' man left you?  I don't blame you - Most people with a morbidly obese daughter and a dysfunctional family do end up going crazy.  But like I said, I bid you farewell. I don't have time for your tirade.


"To his credit, Wildrose Leader Brian Jean denounced the bigoted slurs and the people behind them."

Well, not really.

Mr. Jean for all intents and purposes spent the week hiding from the press/media, leaving through back-doors ad cancelling minor appearances. Anyway, the far right lunatic fringe within the Wildrose Party will not be satisfied until the Conservative "movement" in Alberta crashes completely at which point these specimens hope to pick up the pieces and make Alberta into  a far-right living hell the United States has become.

One would hope Ms. Notley and the NDP will benefit from the lunatic fringe self-inflicted crash and burn policy. One would hope...........

I see you didn't offer any citations to support your miscreant opinion.


"Oddly enough, it hasn't seemed to help Democratic candidates gain public office."
Maybe that's because the GOP is much stronger in Utah?  Compared to Utah, Hillary barely won Colorado.
Or maybe Utah has a smaller percentage illegal population?
Whatever problems the illegals are having here in Colorado getting licenses, I'm all for it.


Says the guy posting this at work, smh.


Drain the swamp. The last thing we needed was obstructionism and personal agendas to delay progress.

The people voted in mayor Kirk. He has promised to continue what has been started against all opposition. (ben).

Souki (84) should settle in retirement while making way for a replacement with fresh new vivid ideas and solutions to our ever growing problems here in Hawaii. The man has served Hawaii and we appreciate his dedication.

We need new LEADERSHIP. Long overdue.


True, it is the behaviour of the humans for basic greed of betting on dog fights that victimized the animals. What you fail to understand is that either criminals (guarding drug ops) or inexperienced and naive owners cannot be trusted if they get a hold of a dog they cannot control. This ends up very often in another person's pet being mutilated, another adult or child. It is not the dogs fault, but the pet or person is still severely injured or dead. It happens constantly.
As for your facts on pit bulls ... they are absolutely not true. Other dogs can be dangerous, true. But pit bulls were a mixture of dogs that were bred specifically to fight. They were genetically bred to fight because of their tenacity. You cannot stop an attack, The reason they are used to fight is because they win! Backyard
Great owners = great dogs. But how can you make sure ONLY qualified owners have them?  Too late if it is ripping up your pet/child because it escaped from an irresponsible owner.


I know which president fired the US attorney in Arizona in 2007 and a bunch of others ostensibly for political purposes. Thousands of emails sent using the RNC servers which were subsequently 'lost.' An unprecedented mid-term dismissal and a real scandal that didn't involve Obama.

No, the models aren't 95% incorrect and the climate is NOT fine.  Repeat after me, the climate has NEVER changed this fast since the beginning of human ancestry (at least, without the input from a humongous eruption).  What we are experiencing is NOT normal.  Your ignorance of this issue wouldn't bother me except that it affects everyone on this planet.


I wonder if being well fed is the causal nexus for compassion failure.


MRichards: You posted yesterday that the handful of ministers using Morneau's loophole was available on a government web site, at the same time that Dawson said that the information was confidential.

I followed the link that you provided and the info that you said was there is, in fact, not there.

Did you not read the link before posting?

we all make occasional mistakes. Some of us make more than others; some make them continuously.


Yeah right.  The Senate will school Trump just like they did O'Bama.

Here's a fun quote for Mr. Havelock:

"The greatest happiness is to scatter your enemy, to drive him before you, to see his cities reduced to ashes, to see those who love him shrouded in tears, and to gather into your bosom his wives and daughters."

Enjoy the next 4 years.  I know I will.  Cheers -


This GOP resolution is misdirected and premature. Mueller is not charged with investigating "anything Russian" that happens to come in the news, just Russian interference in the 2016 election and any collusion between the Trump campaign and associate with the Russians to interfere with the election. A separate investigation should be started within the DOJ to handle the Uranium One scandal. Mueller, Rosenstein and McCabe should not be any part of Uranium One deal investigation. I'd be more concerned if Mueller and his team did not follow the collusion between the Clinton campaign, the DNC and the Obama campaign organization that paid foreign governments (including Russian officials) for disinformation on the opposition party candidate. That would be grounds for demanding his resignation.


Why, I'm sure I don't know what you are talking about, LotL! You purport to speak for God all the time!


That regurgitating,  gone fishing simpleton " libertarian" mouth that incites, relishes  separation between "winners" and "losers; " those picky tweet fingers throwing, at random,  kindling into the fire of confrontation ( while having lived for so long in a penthouse of speculative, manipulative deception ...) -  what a nightmarish "winner"  to deal with in a world of "losers" that seems to be imploding -  not just from Harry, Irma and Family, which are "Fake News" of course.  Theresa May,  when that friends of yours opens that chuckling mouth, when those tweeting fingers go berserk, your worst enemy might be not just those "losers" of terrorists at home ....Remember Greenfell fire. Remember  those awful comments about the Mayor of London that such a mouth regurgitated to the point of oblivion. No apologies at all.  Such a bubble-babble of an entitled Babel's mouth cannot stop babbling. Send a tweet and ask the culprit to think before opening that mouth.


Gerrymandering is not the reason for heavily red or blue districts.  It's all about the D or the R.  If you took the candidate's party label off the ballot it might make people look at the candidates themselves instead of only their party affiliation.  The real shame is that people think politicians represent them - when over and over we see them only representing themselves and their donors.


Naturally, a picture of these "pillars of the community" might stigmatize.


11:15 AM at Corpus Christi, near Columbia University.  I haven't had occasion to go myself, so this is secondhand information, but it's consistent with information available on the parish website.


Trump really has not changed from who he was in the Primaries.   This  is the problem with single issue voting.  Yes, he appears to be pro-life. However, his policies are still the anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim, self centered views, and run the country like a big business with absolute executive authority.  But we knew all that before we voted, didn't we?


Finally someone who actually understands the difference


Great.  I am going to pay a huge fine for having non-ACA compliant health insurance because I refuse to pay 18k a year for 7k indiv deductible /14k family deductible ACA insurance.  What is wrong with our govt leaders?  This law is screwing the self employed!


An interesting article. Thank you.


Liberal mayor picking the pockets of the voters and the voters get nothing in return.


Just because UH is in Hawaii it doesn't make it "laid back."  The student gets what they put into it


The plutocrat owned MSM has spun the entire police state "thing" into a racial "thing".

This serves several purposes in furthering their agenda:

1) Inciting racial strife is a great red herring  and precursor for gun control/more racial strife/curbing constitutional rights.

2) Inciting racial strife turns a citizenry upon itself.  It provides statists an opportunity to consolidate power (curb your rights) by fooling the citizenry this some .gov program /law will make it all better.

3) Police are known as Law en-FORCEment Officers vs. Peace Officers.  Key word FORCE.  Yuuuuge difference in the perception and mentality. They've become more militarized in most communities...even those with low crime rates.

Police kill whites at twice the rate of blacks...nary a peep.  Incarceration rates for the prison industrial complex in Murica: approx 700 per 100k.  Great Britan: 400, Japan around 50.  Obviously incarceration rates didn't fix the problem.  Can U say: POLICE STATE?


As were Lyndon Johnson, Walter Mondale, and Hillary Clinton, among others.


explosive new report??? Just FYI--DeMint left the senate in 2013.

And, the senate bill cuts Medicaid, not Medicare.


"a nonprofit that works to help public school students become advocates for education"

How about taking their own education seriously and being advocates for themselves. This statement should read "helping public students being advocates of Teachers Union Policies"


See you there!!!  😁


I would like to nominate Ghostbusters 2 as the worst movie of 2016. I can't think of any other sequel or reboot that in one fell swoop both intentionally alienated its very loyal fan base while failing  to create anything close to a new following.  Yeah, it wasn't the worst movie, I would rate it a "ho hum" at best but the damage it did to the franchise is far greater than its losses at the box office.


you mean the same old white guys who built the modern world that you live in, those guys? We can always revert back to our ancestors but I'm sure those from various parts of the world would mind giving up their piece of the magic dirt. lol


Breitbart is calling.  Nobody here is listening to such complete and utter nonsense that you post.  Please spew elsewhere.


Assuming only 10 million are here, that means 10 million jobs taken from 10 million legal Americans, as well as lower wages for everyone in these jobs sectors.

There's about 50 more reasons.

What's the reason why illegal immigrants should be here?


Making pension debt super-priority in bankruptcy and restructuring would go a long way to solve this problem and provide pension security. Under the Wage Earner Protection Program introduced by the Conservative government in 2008/9 normal pension contributions for the year of bankruptcy were granted super-priority status. A good start, but not far enough. Super-priority status should be extended to the entire pension so the pension gets addressed as a high priority whether the company declares bankruptcy under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act or restructures under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act.
Super-priority is one of the few financial terms common in both. Not even secured and unsecured creditors are common.

Sure, I'll take your word for that, doesn't change what it is or what will inevitably happen to it. I have personally seen charted islands in Western Alaska go away in one winter. Sand piles up, sand washes away.


Believe me, I am well aware that saying "illegals are not criminals" is the latest frantic talking point from the DNC.  But like the DNC, you've avoided the central issue:  Is it okay to do something wrong if you can get away with it for a certain period of time?
