Yep,   Pretty important.

Who could have ever guessed?


Unfortunately, I don't see people lugging baggage and/or children or other loved ones taking transit to the airport.

Nor do I see the myriads of relatives meeting family/visitors from their homelands taking transit to the airport either.

Who does that leave?

The same people that make up the Union Express passengers - the airport workers.

And, unless Ontario and the GTA get their transit plans in order nor do I see people flocking to this hub as an intermediate point in their transit travels.

What I do see is more bureaucracy, high paid jobs, higher airport fees, years more of construction congestion at Pearson, bigger parking lots, etc.

Doesn't make much sense to me but then I just use Pearson as an airport.


I would hate to be the one who had to read those letters. Prayers for all those children that had suffered & lost their lives from the hands of those psychopathic brothers & to their families, my heart goes out to all of them. It is a OUTRAGE & needs to be punished by a server slow death.


Canadian kids are taking up pot as a cool thing.

Meanwhile half-way around the world, kids in China and Japan are learning linear algebra and advanced calculus in high school. That's cool over there.

Priorities, children, priorities.

Trump is stocking the swamp with the fat-cats and the rabid right.


This isn't a blunder, it's good politics .  The public are already convinced  that Wynne and her government are dishonest so this will just add to it and give Brown the benefit of the doubt even if he loses in court.


I drive on Broadway quite frequently and I have never once seen a bike in the bike lane.  I'm sure it is a good idea, but someone should tell the bike riders that it is.


They can't use that word, or they'll be cast out from Liberal circles for *GASP* telling the truth!


Starting a sentence with 'Trump tells the truth' typically signals that a joke will follow.  Even his most loyal followers fully understand that Trump and truth can rarely exist in the same room at any time; they just don't care.


If the pill comes out, I suggest the name "Toot Sweet".


Would you car Sir, for the even more generous offer that Olmert gave Abbas 7 years ago, and was rejected out of hand.

The Palestinians don't want peace with Israel, period.


Sort of what Augusta Golf Club had to do a few years back.


Then offer all 35 million of us a free latte. Much better use of the money than some of this idiocy.


It's called corruption.


We need to revive trades education to give options to those who aren't cut out for university. And tighten regulations to force companies to use certified tradespeople instead of a revolving door of the low-paid and untrained who can gain no career traction as they are hired and laid off continually. Raw market forces will always prefer a pool of near-slave labour but we shouldn't want the less privileged to become a permanent underclass.


Funniest statement I have seen!!


Seriously?  What world are you living in?  There was no jihad in America when Skinner walked the streets.  We live under the same Second Amendment as he did.


If you go on the South side of the Kenai please be aware that you need to walk while in the water. If you want to just stand and hold your net go to the North side. Don't be the jerk that makes people walk over you when the drift line is going.


(2 )Once a young man or woman begins to live a duplicitous life, it is not unusual that the "bad" self begins to yield to a self-fulfilling prophecy which begins to take more self-indulgent liberties.  And from there the spiral of behavior is downward with the person caught in a double secret life.  If you can connect the dots you can see that this is classic behavior in clergy sexual abuse cases.  This is just one of the situations in which Church teachings on sexuality inadvertently becomes one of the causes of abhorrent sexual behavior.  All of this is based on a 2000-year-old concept that each sperm contains a tiny human being that is waiting to be planted in a female who acts only as a garden in which the already complete human seed can take root.  Any deposit of this seed outside the female “garden” is gravely evil.  Now through science, we know better and the resulting shame and guilt in perpetuating such teachings is just plain wrong headed and can lead to disastrous results.


Now was that a polite comment about a human being..   Blue Rhetoric.


Dairy farmers will need to adapt to the fact that they are producing a product that nobody actually needs and really should be avoided.   Milk is baby cow food - plain and simple.  Why would you feed it to your human child?  How do we subsidize an industry whose main product is animal fat in a glass.   Milk consumption has been declining in both CAN and the USA since 2010 - consumers get it and so do dairy farmers.


It is really odd how excited you are to give the government your PFD and an income tax.

If you want to go ahead and write them a check right now, I am sure they will accept it.

Or...are you a legislative staffer by chance?


So you speak for these 32 players? Are you their agents, maybe part of their family?

How'd you like them apples Sarah? Any comments? Opinions? Vitriol?


What's criminal is letting those companies dump vast amounts of cancer causing chemicals into the ground that ends up leaking into the groundwater table polluting the environment. And forcing legal land owners to let these companies drill on their land is unacceptable. I hope this bill never becomes law.


Thoughtful, well written and wonderful story. Thanks.


McKenna has deliberately stated that the money will be returned to the Provinces. She has not stated that the money will be returned to the Province it was collected in.

She has left the door wide open for wealth distribution which is a key feature of all of the national level programs around the world.


The commentors here and elsewhere who dwell on Matthew 19 do not seem to even be aware of John's Gospel story of the woman caught in adultery.  Yes, of course there are standing problems with the authenticity of the text -- which is hardly a surprise in any event.  However, that story is soooo like the Jesus who heals, and loves the sinner, and offered his life as a ransom!  "Neither do I condemn thee; now go thy way and sin no more."  (Once I heard a judge sitting in his courtroom dispatch a case using those very words!  And I'm proud to say of him that he was once a student of mine.)  How interesting that these commentors do not want to elevate this teaching from John to the level of law, as they do with Matthew 19!


Blame only yourself for lack of self discipline.


Why do you guys always go with the 'drama teacher' thing?
He taught a bunch of subjects, from math to drama.
If you want to get people onside, you've got to give up the silly falsehoods and repetitious whinges about his parentage etc.
There is getting to be PLENTY of substantive things to critique about this government.  Are they beyond you?


Too many abuses in foster homes. Maybe we could start cleaning those up and making them safer. Too many times at the end of stories it is stated the kids were put into foster care like that is a happy ending and no more needs to be said. But I have found a lot of times it is the start of another bad tale.


Runners everywhere will mourn the loss of the Shuffle...light and compact, much better than a clunky smart phone.


I'm well aware of Sunni/Shia issues.  The post that I was responding to blamed today's attacks on Islam as a "twisted ideology".  Obviously Islam had NOTHING to do with this attack, and given that the Islamic holy texts came generations before the Sunni/Shia split, there is obviously no endorsement for such attacks in any Islamic scripture.


A blue ticket is simply foisting our problem onto another community.. This person needs to be institutionalized and receive psychiatric treatment.


Foreigners race to serve northern Alaska! I wonder whatever happened to the good old Alaskan engineering + construction industry. Signed.. UAF engineering grad, '81, '85. See: giant oil subsidies have made us fat (heads).


And the SJW industry takes another one in the junk.

More to follow....


So am I.


I don't know, John. I wonder if the fact that NCR takes money to report good things about "Global Sisters" has anything to do with their decision to under-report this story. When the stories from Ireland are about offending clergy, they seem to put them on the front page.


Sounds to me like Green Peace is trying to find a cause to keep themselves busy now that seal clubbing and whale hunting are on the decline. Got to keep those donations flowing in.


I never suggested that state oversight was a good thing, I was responding to all the outcries of why there isn't more oversight, on the other hand, they would have at least had an education and some skills to be able to move forward in life instead of needing to start at a 5th grade level and grow from there.  The amount of remedial learning that will be necessary is abundant.  It's likely that you will see further stories of them in the future, so at what point is socialization a factor here?


Your statements are just as flawed as Huckabee's. The fact is a much higher % of black men commit felonies and violent crimes than white men. Because of that, any cope whether white or black will find themselves in potential shooting situations at a much higher rate (compared to % of population) with a black man than a white man.
It isn't the total population but the % of violent criminals that matters.


Don't be so hasty with your veiled accusation.   Someday, one of "dudes", as you put it, may save your life.


It's all just street theater to distract the proles from their

Full disclosure, while not a "supporter" of Caldwell, I did vote for him and intend to do so in the General.

I have trouble with the standard which posits behavior is "unethical" if it is PERCEIVED as unethical. How does a subjective standard become an objective violation simply because some people assume something improper is occurring? This is particular troubling when few people had that perception about Wong until this article appeared and asks Colin Moore to offer that opinion. Thereby creating a perception, which then triggers the "perception" of impropriety standard.

The article insinuates a "quid pro quo." To help us evaluate this insinuation, shouldn't there be some evidence that the services Wong provided the city were over-priced relative to competing bids? Is it possible Wong, as a Caldwell supporter, may have provided better service at a lower price point? The article provides no basis on which to judge that alternate, and plausible, interpretation?


"all the facts coming out of this are unrelated to the campaign"??  True enough, but an unregistered agent of a foreign government was campaign chairman for the fellow that got elected President of the United States of America.  Is there seriously nothing wrong with that?


Thank you! Finally some common sense.


OK, you convinced me to let up just a little tiny bit. :)

Btw I think Melania had that convo with Lauer before the convention.


Full automatic weapons are not legal you say, ?

Immediately followed by you saying they are.

And guess what, they are legal and there are around 193,000 pre-cutoff machine guns in legal ownership nationwide.

That's not indicative of 'very few' collectors.

You don't have to be a collector at all, most citizens qualify if they simply fill out the forms and pay the money.

Death to the NRA.  It's a terrorist organization.


Isn't it funny to see how easy it is to rile up the "turn the other cheek" crowd?  Now that's what I call predictable.


Political officials are fired or "retired" for all sorts of reasons that are not about breaking the law. So what law do you claim was broken in this case?


A new term for verifying voters and eliminating voter fraud. "Voter suppression" otherwise known as vote early, vote often, vote dead, vote illegally. Brilliant!


I'm curious what you'd do to determine if a snorkler is snorkling or drowning?  Obviously no easy solution.  How about limit the number of bodies in the ocean at Hanauma?  Accidents happen and although sometimes preventable, we can never account for the ability of those venturing in to the water.  Many at Hanauma really just need to STAND UP!  Instead they panic...


Off task. Stay on topic please.


dome:  You, and OS,  Fish,  keep confusing "hate" with "dislike".  I do not hate, but there are many things I "DISLIKE".  Get your words correct......


Biggest whiner in the NHL.


Was that because of expertise not available in Canada or because when you have a lot of money you can skip any line in the US?


What Spicer did is what's referred to as "moving the goal posts." The prez used the word "wiretap." That has a specific meaning. You can't come in and say "Just because he said 'wiretap' doesn't mean he actually meant the word 'wiretap.'"


Your Himmler anecdote is ironic because his actions against Jews indicate that he would have killed the person that saved him and therefore would not have been saved.
Where is the irony regarding the Scalise situation? Are you implying that Scalise's opposition to the LGBT rights agenda indicates that he wishes the death of all LGBT persons, or even the refusal to allow them to work as police officers? Could this woman not have been a police officer if she was unable to enter a gay marriage? Otherwise, even if his views had been complied with, what would have prevented her from being there?
Or is it the other way around and all LGBT people desire the death of those that oppose their agenda, so she should not have been expected to act to save republicans?
No, there's no irony here.


"The issue of the church's ministry to divorced and remarried people is addressed in the exhortation, which calls for pastoral accompaniment of such persons and a recognition that priests can no longer make blanket moral determinations about so-called "irregular" situations."
So the situation is that a young pregnant women feels she can't bring a child into the world and so chooses an abortion. Is this an irregular situation about which a priest cannot make a moral determination?


Is the fix in?


I saw the interview.  I understand the reporter gave him a pass, but I also watched the press conference.


Yet another example of county zoning and permitting regulations killing economic development for the public - the public they are alleged to serve.


No.  There's nothing wrong with that.

Please try to learn something this week about the First Amendment and how it works.


I think the psychologists have already begun.


garycrum - Satoshi Kanazawa is a low IQ leftwing nutjob and racist.  That fully explains why you suckered for his biased research, thereby quantifying my hypothesis regarding Democrats.

Your man Satoshi also publicly proclaimed that Black women are the least attractive group among all humans.    As a result, the largest student organization in London (representing 120,000 students) unanimously called for Kanazawa's dismissal from your London school.  His work has been roundly criticized and soundly debunked by his peers.

You got any rooms available for him to board at your place?  -  regards, 420.

You hate my boy Trump cause I am yellower due to the Jaundice, boy I still drink you under the tree and into the dirt.

If im asleep please wake me up!


allie, what's with the "We" stuff. Speak for yourself.


You talking about people inside or people outside. Either way yer talking stink.


Of course we do not want any use of nuke weapons.  But use of same is your interpretation of Trump's words.  There may be benefit to letting NK  know that they have much to fear if they actually attack the US.


The same business has had benzene leaks or fumes that affected the neighboring building as well.


Actually, think about it - native Hawaiians, fish ponds, poi fields, fresh water, surfing, fishing, sweet potatoes, Haole conservationists - the Environmental Protection Act gave presumptive standing to them to sue to "protect" the environment, which meant the environment they relate to. You do not understand the matter.

Because Obama what?


So true.  Just as he never specifically denounced eating lobster nor did He mention killing witches.  He said nothing because He obeyed all the laws of the OT, and expects us to do the same.  Otherwise we are merely picking and choosing, like God's commands are a cafeteria menu.


I'd be in favor of that if voters also had to pass a citizenship test, much like drivers take a written/driving test.


Let's do this without the debt and bond. Let's deal with the failed CO congress and restore those funds stolen through wrongful acts of subterfuge and/or fraud in public service. Why would we want to service a financial debt when we are prosperous enough to pay ourselves? What would a worthy fiduciary advise the public to do here for the most optimal and enlightened collective self-interest outcome?


See that is the issue with liberals. You have been so focused on digging for dirt on Russia you have missed all that he has done. He has dismantled Obama's legacy. Almost everything he stood for will be erased year 1. He has a good chance of selecting a second Supreme Court justice.

Trump will have a longer legacy than Obama ever dreamed of.


It is a start, but the cuts need to go up a couple of million barrels for oil to be back over 100 in the next 12 months. Watch the Saudies and US oil (very greedy people as well) make it happen, Russia lines up, blow up an Iraq pipeline, Iran pumps as much as it can and  Saudi Arabia will agree to deeper cuts and the fracking will not start as fast as the analysis think. If you bough some oil yesterday, buy more today, the stocks are going up and they may just be canadas run next year. Buy US if you want another 5 percent, but be prepared to get out early next year as the CDN Dollar will recover as fast as the oil goes up...


When are you running for office?


Says Kelly, the other money changer. QUIT WASTING TIME ON THE FLOOR!!


That's for sure !


This comment is typical of environmental extremists.

First, it is overly disingenuous for you to bring up the Larsen ice shelf - five minutes on google will educate you that no reputable scientist has said there are any climate change causes of that event.  It had natural causes and even such huge calving events are a normal and healthy part of the ice shelf lifecycle.  Of course, most hyped up media and comments such as yourself immediately screamed "climate change!!".  This is what causes skepticism against the alarm you try to raise, but you conveniently try to preempt any reasonable discussion by labeling others "deniers".

Good job hurting your own cause.


Your response is pathetic as you are ignoring the fact that these a private functions designed to allow the powerful access to Cabinet members and the PM for the purpose of lobbying off the record.
It is not the cost to attend that it is the issues, it is buying access that is the issue.


Delicious future spectacle: Christy Clark in opposition voting against everything she proposed in a throne speech she stole from the NDP-Greens.  I sincerely look forward to her condemning her own proposals.  Well, we know Clark won't hang around, she'll fly off to greener pastures as a lobbyist for realtors or an asbestos manufacturer (she takes anything that pays well); but the rest of that lame duck Liberal (fake liberal) bunch deserve to go down in flames.


on Nov 18 UN was working on resolution to stop fascism and their supporters from spreading and put a legal end to it. US and Ukraine ( the only country in the world with nazi brigade freely roaming the streets) both voted against it - two countries in the whole world! Blame Obama for it, nothing to do with Trump. It is a darkest era in your head if you did not know about it and blame Trump for it. The hate Obama has to Israel and Jews is just crazy. His supporters will spray swastikas and blame Trump for it...


I agree.  I just prefer to be called the gay community, and I am technically bi, but just prefer being with men.


You still around Krauthammer?


Just watch - those Liberal MPs speaking out about this plan will not be supported by Mr. Trudeau, Mr. Butts or Ms. Telford when nomination time comes around.

Poor Cabinet members - no smiling faces in that photo.


socks with birk sandals?  This whole 'ugly is beautiful' irony trend is completely out of control.


I'm arguing about the COST of the permits before the Assembly allows another 100 permits on the streets at what $2000 a pop?  How is that fair to the original permit holders?  How do you know the courts will not intervene?  The taxi owners need to try the court route.


Tremendously tremendous humility.


Awful guy. Harper on steroids.


Trump tactics: go ballistic when found at fault. Exampled at the top, justifies mimicry. Gomes is out of order, especially when claiming he's picking up trash.


Can't wait to see what kind of click bait BS article titles you come up with!


This Is exactly what is wrong with modern Christianity.  Seems to me that Jesus himself was killed for being a subversive to the Emperor.. !!!!!    Yeah, go ahead and 'splain  that one away.


"Interesting that the MP's are going to learn "How to manage that strong reaction"

Well, it's hard to gauge just how "strong" (meaning, pervasive or wide-spread) a negative reaction is these days.  Certainly you can't do it from reading these pages...although we're tempted.
Kadhr settlement: wow--strong reaction.
PM tweet: welcome to Canada: yikes, very strong reaction.
Think the comment from Billy112 says it: the Liberals have calculated in their tolerance level on rejection.  So, in the Kadhr case, likely weighed the potential and went ahead.

An uninformed, indifferent, distracted populace means governments are fairly safe. Witness Trump steamroller ability. It's even EASIER than it was, say, half a century ago, because we are no longer as homogeneous a population.  We're all "splinter groups" differing on what we think/fear/want.

It'll take more than one issue or even two to reach a "tipping point."  FN+Kadhr+tweet+tax+ + +.

It also takes something else: a viable alternative.


Whazzie:

Habs did lose, if they keep these losses up, it won't be good for anyone, sport!


I don't understand why accessible parking permit holders are allowed to park on streets rather than the empty parking lots, which often have designated spots.


Hmmm, quite an interesting thought.


It is fortunate that in the end we will be judged by God and not one another.


That may be true, but the danger lies with people who spout vitriol like yours.


Curt,
In your post, are you saying that the Native leaders who negotiated the ANCSA need to make reparations to the Native people or are you saying that the Native leaders at the time "sold out" the Native people and the Native leaders today need to "revise" the ANCSA ?
What sources, books, historical documents do you recommend they read to educate themselves ?
 I would venture to guess that all the reparations or most of them anyway have already been made. I do know that recently the communities/tribes that came out of the ANCSA landless are about to receive both land and money from the Federal government.
It has take forty or so years for this to happen but it is happening.

The Sheriff's Airport Division has never enjoyed a good reputation. Slackers at their jobs and just plain lazy. Maybe that's why the State  DOT dumped them from the airport.


It was reported long  before the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center that the FBI received relevant information and chose to table the reports.  What's the use of having the FBI if all they're going to do is sweep terrorist information under their rug?

Hi, TPII:

"... Bern is not for a Venezuelan-style approach ..."  Maybe not consciously or on purpose, but gee - giving away 'free' this and 'free' that, all funded (of course) by confiscatory taxation leveled on the (carefully undefined) "rich" - Sen. Sanders' approach certainly *sounds* Venezuelan, whether he cares to admit it, or not.  :-/

I merely pointed out how that approach was working out.  ;-)

By the way, Denmark is a mixed economy under a constitutional monarchy - not (strictly speaking) a socialist government (although it is a very generous welfare state).  Interesting facts on Wikipedia:  There is no federally-mandated minimum wage in Denmark.  73% of the population approves of international trade and 'globalization'.  They are quite careful about who they let into the country - even seizing personal effects (including wedding rings) from refugees, to pay for the social costs.

Bernie support all that??  :D   (Just wondering ...)


I'd like to thank the man who sat next to Donna. --Paul


I do think there is something strange about our system. If someone has money, perhaps through a lifetime of saving, hard work, studying late into the night at university, foregoing expensive vacations or expensive cars and all that, why should they not have the right to pay for some type of superior (perhaps one might say "more expedient") health care? Why should it be "illegal" to provide it to them or take their money? It would seem to be a rights issue -- rights being, the protection of individuals from the whims of government, which seems to be the case here.


Wente is the "Scourge of the Left" and "progressives" of the left

as Oliver Twist said "Please sir, can i have more?"


I fully expect that governments will start confiscating some of what they need, by some measure and at some point.  It has happened a number of times, even over fairly recent history.


National news is reporting that tRump is planning to jet to Mexico and meet with Mexico's president; then tRump will jet back to the US and conduct a breathless Arizona rally featuring his flip-flopping stand on immigration.  There's no news on where tRump stands on immigration.   tRump  can't change his bigot/racist spots any more than a leopard can change its spots or a zebra can change its stripes, or David Duke's inability to turn in his KKK pointy hat and mad hatter cap.

No mention of how much % of profit is made by these private insurers that are allowed to do business in Alaska. Out of every dollar they take in what is the actual % out of that dollar that is used on direct services to the insured? Out of every dollar that they take in from the insured what % is used for administrative costs by the insurance company's? How much of every dollar taken in from the insured is the % of profit for the insurance company's? Inquiring minds want to know.


I was stationed at Elmendorf from 71-73 and we had more personnel then than now with 3 gates.  There are now 4 and Muldoon has replaced Post Rd and Gov't Hill as the most used.    Tikatnu is not the issue. VA Clinic and Elm access is.


"...tragic Oso landslide as “freak” events." The implication is that Oso was caused by global warming? Nobody agrees with that. Geologists point to the geology of the hillside as the cause, noting the town should not have been built in the path of the potential landslide.

The fact that he tries to link climate change to an event that literally nobody who knows about the event says is valid indicates how unscientific his arguments are.


Please see above...here I'll quote it for you.

"The norm now is to label anyone opposed to the left wing agenda as racist and hate speech in an attempt to censor and shut down dissenting opinions."

Your attacks on free speech will not be tolerated comrade.


Continued. damn character limit.....

5. Islamic State. By 2008 the volatile Middle East region had quieted significantly. The Obama administration abandoned a long standing U.S. policy regarding foreign dictators and goons (He may be a son of a bitch, but he's our son of a bitch) and threw Mubarak under the bus. The President then signed off on an ill-advised plan to overthrow Khadafy. Mr. Obama drew a red line for Assad and failed to back up his tough talk. These destabilizing acts turned the “Arab Spring” into a bloody nightmare of anarchy
6. Trump. Heads we lose, tails we lose.


[Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, the manager of the GOP team, said there were "dozens if not hundreds of shots fired."]

Any Republican knows that assault rifles and high capacity magazines have nothing whatsoever to do with any mass shootings, like at elementary schools.  If only every legislator had an assault rifle along with a bandoleer of high capacity magazines then these type of things couldn't happen.

Please do not shoot the messenger, do not blame the gun.  Remember, guns do not wound, maim or kill politicians....like Gabrielle Giffords, John Kennedy or Robert Kennedy.  People like Martin L. King or people like George Wallace.

I am not anti-gun.  I do not advocate taking away the guns.  I do advocate responsible ownership, reasonable restrictions, universal background checks and waiting periods.   Lets not be coy about gun freeze zones.  I do not like reading about guns and violence in our country, be it at a church in the south or a baseball game for members of Congress.

No problem Warriors....got the tourney coming up. Rest up, heal up and IMUA!


Story is a pleasant relief from the regular chaos.


So true.  The main law disregarded is that if there are 5 vehicles following you, pull over.  It's really quite simple.  So frustrating to be caught behind someone who doesn't even know how to pull a trailer and does it seldom - only to go fishing once a year - and they're too scared to go the speed limit.  Oh - and they haven't properly hooked up their lighting so no brake lights visible, and since they're breaking so many laws, they decide to ensure no one can see their license plate. The problem isn't the speed limit.  It's people who aren't going the speed limit and who won't pull off when they want to drive 20 miles under the speed limit.  If people can't drive their RVs at the speed limit, leave it at home.  Buy your fish from Costco and save a few lives.


Why are we following the US and UK? Why not follow the South Korean or Chinese example? Don't innovate just  copy and steal with government supported loans. Western companies are giving this high tech stuff away in China for market share they will never see. So much for Canadian jobs.


SNOWFLAKES :)


Corruption controls Alaska politics! Pretty simple!


Political calculation and social media, nice to see someone able to clearly define the hysteria behind the re-writing of history by the left.


All sounds good but me thinks this is nothing more than a "feel good" article.
Let's see some numbers instead. Because the last time I read an article on the subject in the AJC, it had said that in order for project to break even, the gas prices would have to increase about 2 &1/2 times what it is now. And this is with 3rd party investors expecting a lower ROR.

Show us some real numbers, otherwise this is just cheerleading noise. But I guess this is what the author is paid 800k to do..

Waipio farm - turning to Koa Ridge - thanks to landlord Castle & Cooke.
Helemano farm being sold in parcels - thanks to Aloun farms.

Only time will tell.


Been saying this for weeks now, Kiz. Let's hope the Rocks are savvy enough to get this done!

And yet, according to an article in today's New York Times,

 "On a range of issues, Mr. Trump seems to be taking a page from the Sanders playbook, expressing a willingness to increase the minimum wage, suggesting that the wealthy may pay higher taxes than under his original proposal, attacking Mrs. Clinton from the left on national security and Wall Street, and making clear that his opposition to free trade will be a centerpiece of his general election campaign.

As Mr. Trump lays the groundwork for his likely showdown with Mrs. Clinton, he is staking out a series of populist positions that could help him woo working-class Democrats in November. But in doing so, he is exacerbating the trepidation some Republicans already feel about his candidacy at a moment when the party typically rallies to its nominee."

Can he out-politician Hillary?


The bottom-line fact is that there are straightforward methods to bypass encryption by obtaining direct access to outgoing messages before they are encrypted and incoming messages after they are decrypted (or, better yet, to simply obtain the encryption password) -- planted spyware, hidden shoulder-surf cams, collecting and interpreting electromagnetic noise, and probably other secret tricks.
These all work just fine -- for monitoring *specific targets*. They're too resource-intensive for *mass surveillance*. For mass surveillance, politicians need backdoors. Ergo, the obvious conclusion is that demands for backdoors are driven by a government desire for illegal mass surveillance, not legitimate investigation of suspicious characters.


The Sisters project along Hiway 22 is a long term public and private endeavor using corrections clients for cheap  labor.  The Fremont project is a stewardship contractor,  with cash outlay by the USFS.  But,  if the litigating public wants to have yellow belly pines a hundred years from now,  the myriad regulations created by men of good will actually work hard to prevent that from happening.  EPA will be the leader,  and the ESA will be next in line.  The old McNamara reasoning that you have to destroy the village to save the village is alive and well in Federal land management principles today.


Did she not get busted for plagiarism twice?  She most certainly did.  Why do you hate free speech Layla?  I know, you're still upset that you got caught with several user names.  Yeah, you did!


After Obama went to the UK before the vote and said the UK would be at the back of the line.  Bad Obama, bad Obama!


I suggest you ponder the meaning of capitalism, and the number one global proponent of capitalist ideology.


I think that someone needs to tell the coal miners that Big Coal is not coming back and someone needs to tell you that not only Liberals are enrolled in the ACA. ( and yes millions of Liberal have guns, are in the military, love America ad drink beer).   LOL


Crooked Hillary should be in jail - with Comey - as a room mate.
2 peas in a pod, for 20-years, together forever.
THAT would be justice.


Frankly, Trump acts before he thinks. It would make more sense for Trump to sign an order to not grant any more visas, rather than simply deny entry. That would have eliminated all this chaos.

Not that I agree with Trump's ban, but as head of the Executive Branch, he could have executed his policy better.


Habs give up 45 shots to the Sabres - Wow! They will finish bottom 3rd with that lack of team discipline! The Leafs are licking their chops!!!


Oh, bless your deceitful heart. Of course the wealthy "aren't taxes enough."  It's you who introduced the false "citizens" biz.

Republicans run up the debt and then pretend its the Democrats fault.  SMILE! You just got caught with your hand in the cookie jar.


I knew this wouldn't happen, as liberals need this lie
to get elected. Cretin, and others have used this lie to
obtain power befor and it won't happen.
Never allow legal dope. And to stop drug dealers, just kill
them. They'll get the drift, no work, no live.


I am born and raised in  Kotzebue, I know I heard the name "Geoff Kennedy" somewhere! I'm sure you heard this more than once, but 'do a book'! I would love to hear more anecdotes from around Alaska. I had some good laughs and chuckles reading your short stories.


Like "red lines"?


Hopefully all of Mr. Freemans criminal activity was after he left or retired  from the Fire Department not before or while serving our community. This guy should be devastated
and distraught, if convicted bad, things are going to happen to this former fire fighter who has multiple gun violations.


Read a bit about this.  Michael Eisner was head of Disney when his company bought Weinstein's.  A few years later, Disney fired the guy. Eisner's recall: Weinstein was an "unmitigated bully."

We don't hear a lot about what might be called, "boardroom bashing," because to complain or protest is, well, unmanly.


Meanwhile, in another discussion to the target of relentless harassment you post:

“You're a lot like Trump. Can't ignore anything. Everything is of equal value and must be responded to. Tweet Tweet.”

Your sense of outrage is somewhat selective.


Hahaha a medical degree is subsidized. But the doctor has sacrificed a large part of his life, and is subject to the whims of beurocrats. The public servant/union salaries/benefits/ age 55 retirement is HUGELY subsidized by the public.


It's a bit rich, shall we say, to omit mention of the millions the BCLibs have pulled in corporate funding AFTER the May 9 election.


The idea was to stop the mad rush to end the use of coal. Coal is still a necessary tool for filling our energy needs. Coal still supplies around 36% of the nation's electricity.


Wow, she's a mess.


Yes, but the planet is warming much faster now, with our "help." The industrial revolution came about in the late 1700s. Humans had been around thousands of years before that, and we did minimal damage. Now, 250 years after industrialization, we've managed to pollute the planet to near the point of collapse. Good job! (sarcasm)


"The vote count/Electoral College is just a memory to Americans at this point, it's effect if any, long past."

Tell that to all the people who keep protesting Trump.

And SirJohn can certainly be taken to task. The irony of him calling out the MSM as fake news when he provides his own spin is rich indeed.


If one maps the spread of early Christianity, it overlays very faithfully to the Roman lines of communication.   Makes sense.

God also "used" the Roman and Greek ethos for logic, laws, order (and hierarchical decision makeing) to develop the Church and its teaching.


Fire investigators are not the brightest crayons in the box.


Port Orchard is known for issues in permitting but we have Cookies and Pet Town.  Food prices are comparable or cheaper than Petco.


Janet Zuccarini’s original comments were unnecessary, so is the debate in this article.


It does make sense but that means you're relying on one firebreak. More firebreaks would facilitate both access to a fire, and help to prevent a fire from spreading.

I wonder if we have indigenous fire resistant plants? These are used for so-called green firebreaks, but they are also vegetation so they could prevent wind from spreading embers too.


Brett has found an interesting place from which to pursue his specialties with the sheer volulme of garbage pouring forth from the mouths of TV journalists.  We don't even watch the TV news anymore.  Those jokers can't even use the English language correctly and ignore or have forgotten the legacy of real reporters like Cronkite and Murrow.


Finally someone who is willing to take personal responsibility.  You, sir, will go very far in life.  Congrats.


Careless? Explain?

"A lot of people could die unless Donald Trump leaves this to the grown-ups," he continued. "I would much rather have Mcmaster and Mattis and even Rex Tillerson handling this right now than this verbally incontinent man-child who feels like he is moving little toy soldiers around the board."


Just what we need:  Another media outlet to agitate Americans!


Good article with a lot of truth. More and more, people talk past each other, and not to each other. The moment either side says something the other side doesn't like, the name-calling and labeling starts. This is America, and opposing viewpoints should be allowed and expressed in a civil manner, not taken as an opportunity to try stifling the rights of others to hold viewpoints or beliefs different from the 'perceived' politically-correct version of group-think. Chanting in mobs that one group of people matter more than others, or gerrymandering election districts to disenfranchise the citizens of their votes, are just two examples of extreme positions, where one side is trying to marginalize the other. Unfortunately, the shouting and anger from all sides just keeps ratcheting up. Throwing rocks and bottles and attacking demonstrators or protestors is wrong on both sides, regardless of how one might feel 'provoked'. There needs to be room for everyone to speak, and be heard.


Hey thanks Jay Ramras for shortening the session-- bad idea. You are just another republican with bad ideas. Our legislature needs adequate time to do its work. Jay Ramras should have stayed home in the first place and stayed out of public office so he could have minded his own business without abrading the rest of Alaska. We need 120 day legislative sessions. We need zero day sessions with Jay Ramras.


The voters are going to repudiate the GOP and the DNC by electing Trump.  He is the anti establishment candidate and anti establishment is in.  The BS from the run of the mill journalists duels the anti vote.


Very true. The income tax proponents are now admitting, even bragging, that many if not most would pay nothing. As if that helps sell this as a "fair" tax.


the villagers don't want the jobs anyway, they might miss a days work in da village.


like the turks when they invaded europe in 1354 to expand the ottoman empire and spread islam?


No real difference, except with all these deals, UN, NATO, etc, we get stuck paying the bill.  China, India, and the other major polluters will do as they and their economy requires....since there are no consequences for those who don't meet targets.  That being said, we should still make our own plan and continue to advance against global warning.


Gardner long ago ran for cover, collaborating with the Kochs while hiding from the people he was elected to serve -- nearing 500 (about 489 days) without a single town hall meeting.

And Trump is more determined than ever to ignore the will and the well-being of the Americans a president is charged with serving; and instead catering to his minority followers by pulling every trick to kill the ACA.

Sabotage is not leadership, but more proof that if this coward doesn't get his way, he'll abuse his power to get what he wants, which is to destroy everything Obama, most likely out of envy.


For the latter, my apologies; I misunderstood you (and retract!).

For the former, my assertion has nothing to do with my "beliefs." I never said the data "assumes" all Trump voters are racist or uneducated. I said it suggests level of education and racial views are strong indicators of support for Trump.


By that logic, Harper should have had about three million new voters but, in fact, he lost support.


Have you checked your payroll deposit slip? If you have Employer paid Extended Health Care the Premiums for those should already appear in the Taxable Benefits section.

In BC Employer Paid MSP Premiums are also Taxable Benefits, but CRA does not allow them to be listed as Health Expenses when you calculate your annual spending on Health Care for your Income Tax Return.


So you want the owner to get this precious dog back...what happens the next time Jordan lands in jail? Another Meth head going to "take care" of him? He needs a stable home where he is not in danger. All anyone needs to know about the story...is that he will never be safe where he was.


Education is resource management. And in many district headsheds, resource mismanagement. Out of touch, overpaid, and misinformed, our district leaders are bumbling in their attempt to manage a precious resource.


More FAKE posturing from Trump apparently.  A good thing in this case! It should remain. Of course if Udall was still Senator I wonder what would have happened.


Every move Donald Trump has made so far, including the refugee ban, has been primarily a symbolic gesture of political payback for the Republican base - that 33.33% of the electorate who reliably vote Republican every single time no matter what. There is no consideration given to the remaining 66.66% of Americans who do not comprise the Republican base, and there is a cavalier disregard for the utter chaos that might ensue from the hasty roll-out of ill-conceived, ill-timed executive orders. Donald Trump is clearly making it up as he goes along, and all the people with whom he has surrounded himself are having to go behind him cleaning up his mess like pet owners observing the pooper-scooper law. Actually, that metaphor gives Team Trump entirely too much credit. Unlike responsible pet owners, Trump's people are leaving the mess right where he dumps it so everyone can step in it and let its fetid aroma permeate the atmosphere. Enjoy the stench, folks, it's only just begun.


Little d also shamed women about weight...add to the list of stupid.  Imagine if they were caught doing this while on the job and then denied it! Imagine it was your daughter being belittled, bullied by a man in authority.

Funny, the "right" used to pay lip service to supporting the military. Now the Republican Party is about to nominate and Poor Paul is about to vote for a guy who says POWs, "I like people who don't surrender."

Barton is a vicious Conservative hating Liberal sucking it up on the public purse without any accountability to the tax payers of Canada. Never ever will I watch her !


There are people who condemn all rodeos, including the small ones in towns and villages everywhere in this country. The reason this one gets the most publicity, both pro and con, is because it's enormous and people know about it.


this has been the case for many years.  But how do you expect the MNR to actually go to each site given the staff cuts in this  area?  It has been easy to cut this Ministry as it has the least impact on people's daily life.


Wavey:  You should be thankful that we did not go ahead with the project in 2002.  Just think where the state would be financially if we had!  It would make the current 4 billion deficit look like pocket change.


Billions were removed (divested)  from fossil fuel investments from the Netherlands, not Arab Countries. They did it in one week. You guys don't even know your own industry, you should be embarrassed.


Why? Its all  interpretation when you boil it down whether in SF or at the MM festival in Hilo. It may not be kahiko in it's traditional form, but it's expressive of Hawaiian views and values in a progressive way. I haven't seen it, but I'm open to it. At least he is not competing. Competition is all for show.


Please be sure and send your thoughts to Cory Gardner's office.  He staff is reading them and there needs to be documentation that Colorado voters do not want this.  He is using the excuse that Colorado voters wanted this and that is why he was voted in.

More Dough Morneau is been a major disappointment in a cabinet of disappointments.

Many of us hoped he would be a voice of reason, responsibility and fiscal prudence in a cabinet of economic illiterates and spendthrifts.

But he lost his credibility quickly with 3 disasters.  1st was as finance minister allowing a 1st year deficit of $30 billion despite a promised $10 billion maximum with no compelling reason for any deficit and with the ostensible reason of providing long term infrastructure turning out to be over 80% short term pandering.

2nd was going against his own book about why Canadians did not need and would be badly served by another government pension plan and suddenly endorsing such a scheme.

His final strike is this tax war against SB while leaving himself, Justin and the really rich office shore tax shelters crowd alone.

Morneau went to ground this week and hired the highly talented Ben Chin as his new communications director.  Good luck, Ben!  You'll sure need it!


Read the UBC report comparing NDP versus Liberal economic performance.

The Denver area is "desperate" in the sense that we have a lack of national companies headquartered here.


Its not all about lowering employee cost. Union shops, in many cases inflate their own cost artificially through wages/dues. Non-union shops can re-invest savings into research & development, better equipment, new technology  to maybe fulfill the contracts better. And yes, the owners can even take more of a salary for themselves....I know the socialist here hate that but that's capitalism and that's their right as owners of the company. Its a free market.


the only pathetic argument is your delusional belief that futile efforts to control local feral and/or your neighbors cat populations has anything, ANYTHING to do with T. gondii. its ridiculous. you have too much free time and cats somehow caught your attention. and you shoot them. whatever! don't care. don't care about TNR.

"false equivalency"? no Fred its called hyperbole. (you must be the life of any party you attend.) lol.

Indeed I do. If you did you would know the only subsurface rights landowners can get it water. The state holds the mineral rights. The PFD is the Residents dividend from an investment account set up from the oil sales for the Residents.


When you're in a hole--stop digging.


It might be interesting to read about who got #1 and #2.


Hopefully the legislators realize that forcing the City to pay via its property taxes hurts their constituents, whereas the GET is paid for by non residents somewhere between 18-33 percent. Heck I say slap a $10 landing fee on anyone flying in and that would generate about 100 million a year.


Bad as it is in Puerto Rico, it has the US to fall back on. Why isn't the Globe running an article on how to help the smell independent countries like Antigua and Barbuda or Dominica? Perhaps because that would mean creating content instead of plugging in American-sourced content.


Nobody is making the argument that the players don't have the right to kneel. I haven't seen or heard that at all. They're arguing that their boss should fire them for disrespecting millions of the people whose money pays their salaries. Like when the owner of Chick-fil-A said he thought marriage was a man plus woman type deal. Or the owner of Hobby Lobby said something to the same effect. Or someone didn't want to make a gay wedding cake. Or said something off color on Facebook. Or wanted to speak his or her political opinions at Berkeley, they wanted his book deal taken away. Now that you mention it, it appears that the Left is a tad jealous that someone is using their go-to tactic and it's working.

Odd that a bunch of racists would idolize and buy and wear the jerseys of black players in a sport that is 70% comprised of blacks. Just a thought here, but maybe they disagree with the claims concerning the police made by groups like BLM. Maybe there are some numbers that support this.


Pretty much all they need to do is check current bus ridership figures from the area going to town and that would approximate  it, basically doubling the public transit population for that area going to town.  As it is the 120,000 projected that they state is probably as solid as all the numbers they've given so far that have proven WRONG.  Just remember the "curtains have been drawn" and learn the lesson WHO RUNS HAWAII.


Sears catalogue store was huge in the 70s and 80s.
They never capitalized on that.
Craftsman tools were high quality and a huge part,of Sears and their brand.
They gutted Craftsman for reasons I can’t fathom.
Their  management team was old, stogy and couldn’t see the forest for the trees.
Toss in inefficiencies, old product and lazy service and presto, this is the result.


"...you seem to feel that a favorable partisan outcome should dictate the process"
Not even close. What I've been posting is that if you want all votes to count, then simply  count all the votes...and dispense with the Electoral College. It's the method of doing that upon which we disagree.


And just like that, it is as if the goon Obama was just a temporary nightmare and we are back to normal business.


First mistake - not wearing brown trousers.


You read the article wrong. The Globe and Mail reports that MCFD said that Ontario does not allow children under 1 to be left unsupervised. This is accurate; I have read MCFD documents making that claim and pointed out the error, but they haven't bothered to correct it.


No, the Russian government is corrupt and brutal...not the Russian people.
Stop trying to whitewash Putin's criminal behaviour.


"Our" views? Suggesting all people "brought up here" have the same views as you is laughable, at best.


"The OCO budget includes $5.3 billion for continued operations against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS)."

"War" also includes all those air strikes from aircraft carriers, from Italy and from Turkey.  They are called 'tactical' air strikes, by the way.

They even include the bombers that went all the way from Missouri and back to bomb those in Syria/Iraq.

Those Special Forces soldiers 'advising' the Iraqis and the Kurds in Syria and Iraq will be interested to learn that they were not in a 'war' zone!  How about the ones using laser designators to guide in the bombs?

Do they all have to give back their "hazardous duty pay"?

There is your phony semantic argument and then there are the troops on the ground and those in the US Navy and Air Force dropping bombs.  And dodging Russian jets at the same time.

Just another elderly Armchair Warrior.


Praying for him and his family.


They still have his seat at "Inside Edition"?


I know the stats....and I also know that there were more officer deaths per year in my first decade as a police officer than there are now.  There are many instances wherein the officer HIMSELF screwed up and was subsequently killed (the EPD motor officer shot on I105 @ 52nd comes to mind, as does the recent Texas Tech officer killed in the past several days.)  In fact, former EPD Chief Pierce Brooks wrote a book about the "10 deadly errors" committed by officers that get them killed.  I would submit that ONE officer murder is one too many.  And you might want to get stats from the FBI/NCI records than WApo....LOL


That's just a bauble in a blight.  Like anybody who works for living actually lives there in Koolina.  It's a enclave for the rich.  The Bus doesn't even go there.  It drops you off on Farrington, half a mile or more from the front doors of  those posh hotels.  Get real.  Fact is, the west side has always got the short end of the stick.   Living in town doesn't mean entitlement,  unless you mean they don't have to have a four hour commute everyday.


Still no one has been fired can't believe it.


All the panic artists will keep the news alive reading so much into Trump:s every move or the move he didn't make?  It will actually be dull but the responses will make interesting reading .


He'll "shut up", FOREVER, soon.

Just, not soon enough.


Other than high bottom alcoholics in denial, who romanticizes alcohol?  Except for the aforementioned, the days of the three martini lunch are long gone.


Predictably, this pathetic excuse for journalism has zero to do with male/female issues.  Naturally every family has its own dynamic and sure, mother's are the primary caregivers in most families, BY MUTUAL CHOICE AND AGREEMENT.

This frivolously cheap jab at XY chromosome is in actuality just another lame vanity/ego piece from this nasty, nasty person who is consumed with jealousy, self-hatred and a painstakingly obvious sense of insecurity over her value in this world.  No doubt the many failed and unstable relationships (who is this poor sap currently married to her and wtf is he thinking?) the drinking, the faux superiority complex (really inferiority complex) emanates from somewhere deep and dark in her childhood.  Why G&M readers should be subjected to this writer's psychosis on a weekly basis is beyond reason.

Please provide a cost comparison between some alternatives to this project, such as geo-thermal and PV with batteries. The idea of biomass for fuel evolved from plantation days when bagasse was burned for power. But bagasse was a waste product and burning was better than dumping it in the ocean (done by most Hamakua Coast mills), so eucalyptus was planted. For a while the trees were sold to China for plywood or whatever, but I guess that has failed. There might be merit in bio-mass for power IF albizia was the fuel. We have a big problem with that tree, and it needs to go. UH scientists have proposed to make charcoal from albizia which sounds like a win-win. The proposed cost-savings to consumers from the proposed eucalyptus bio-mass project are not appealing and would lock big island consumers into long-term high cost power. This is wrong and I hope HELCO fights the push to do this project. Big islands are being sold down the eucalyptus river to save some foolish investors!


So you're saying minorities should abandon all vestiges of their cultures. It's like saying the Quebecois should all start speaking English. After all, how do you know that a French-speaking cop will treat you equally if you don't speak his language?

One reason that many Georgetown students feel Love Saxa should be defunded, is because the pro-choice group on campus is defunded. H*yas for Choice (they cannot use Hoya in the name) has been kicked off campus and defunded. In the name of the Jesuit principles of equality Love Saxa should also be kicked off campus. Upholding one group and defunding the other doesn't make sense, if you defund one you should defund the other


The UN has more credibility than you and your weak attempt at apologizing for the racists.


I attended Vic for four years (South House) and then was a Don at St. Mike's for a year while I was in professional school.  First, neither Vic or St. Mike's are satellite campuses.  Those of us who attended those colleges think that they are rather the centre of campus life.  While it is possible things have changed over the years (I admit its been a few decades) since I was there, I found the students at St. Mike's far more willing to engage in rigorous intellectual debate about all sorts of topics, even abortion, than those at Vic.   As the only non-Roman Catholic Don in the residence I was impressed with the students receptiveness to ideas that were counter to Roman Catholic orthodoxy.  That is not to say that there aren't students who have racist and Islamophobic ideas at St. Mike's, but I wonder whether the members of student council (who are often more interested in padding their resume than actually doing anything substantive) are reflective of the St. Mike's student body.

Explanation #2. See above.


Based on this logic if gang A beats up someone because they are  a visible minority and gang B stands up and defends the minority and beats up gang A, they are both equally as immoral?   So when the allies resorted to military action against the Nazis they were just as immoral as the Nazis?  Sounds like very flawed  logic.  The type of logic that hate groups would embrace in a feeble attempt at legitimizing themselves.

Okay, so go read Breitbart; it's a lovely echo chamber of racist, sexist garbage.  Would you rather your child had cancer or feminism...remember that little chestnut?  Here, we have Ezra Levant's "The Rebel", itself a wonderful source of right-wing rubbish, half-truths and pure fiction.  Remember the report on the school board in Ontario that exempted Muslim students from Remembrance Day activities...even though that never happened?


Non-partisan and Democrat voters far outnumber registered Republicans.  But the Republican caucus holds the state hostage.  As Charles Wohlforth argues, the problem is not incumbents per se.  It's overwhelmingly Republican incumbents, and not even all of those.  This is too important to be left to the usual helpless shrug at Alaska's oil-corrupted politics.  There is a huge need for a non-partisan citizens' Legislative Responsibility Coalition to gather and disseminate to the public in each senate and house district to what extent their incumbents are responsible for this infuriating impasse.  Granted, in some cases that'll be a hard call.  But not in most.

How many agree?

You are incorrect. Most adverse possession claims occur when the rightful owner puts up a fence, etc., and blocks passage. In many cases, that's the first time someone gains knowledge that there is even a boundary dispute.


I have a real problem with the Canadian government presuming to speak for its citizens, who strongly disapprove of land grabbing anywhere, yet tell Israel, and the world listening, that we approve of its blatant occupation and outright theft of land in Palestine. Clearly, Israel never has had any intention of two states, of allowing the Palestinians to think they have any right to keeping their own state, but every intention of 'settling' Israelis there. We have an old and long history of land-grabbing by the English in Canada and, other than the most crass business leaders, would never set our seal on any state intent on stealing land anywhere.

Perhaps it is time to pause and reflect why the Liberals were turfed out the last time. Adscam, the sponsorship scandal, Shawinigate and I'm entitled to my entitlements are some of the many reasons why. I'm surprised they are back at it so quickly.
If anyone thinks government business is not being discussed for $1500, they are a primary candidate for the sunny ways certificate of stupidity.

I still don't understand people's antipathy towards Hillary Clinton. For years the Republicans have denigrated her, and that effort has been ramped up moreso lately by Trump. But I would think people would take that as what it is: propaganda. Partisanship and ideology aside, what has she really done to deserve such an unfavourable opinion?

As a career public servant, she would have by necessity made a number of mistakes and miscues, and having survived this long, she must clearly have learned from her mistakes.

To take the word of a known fibber, and come on, what has Trump ever really said that was factual, accurate, truthful and unbiased? - as he claims his opponent is a liar, the devil, a traitor, a criminal, and has hate in her heart, and accuses her relentlessly of the worst things possible...this surely must be the antithesis of critical thinking.

It is of concern that so many American voters are failing in their civic duty to honestly appraise their presidential candidates.


Tiresome lib propaganda piece. Notice that the tides in the West are changing, the majority is more concerned about ultra liberalism, socialism, globalism, marxism, green communism, mass immigration and the religion of peace. Libs as usual, have no insight, delusional and clueless about reality. They still did not figure out how they furhter alienate themselves from people with Trump bashing and Trump supporter shaming. They don't want to notice that the lib MSM propaganda machine is broken,, no longer effective, because people reject propaganda and exchange ideas via social media, bypassing them.


The turnips are reading from the party manual again . Trump ( Sweden terror attack ) needs to be deposed swiftly He is buying drugs from Eugene's local drug dealers or he is mentally insane or both


'
Maybe the only Latin American dictator we didn't prop up.

You recently praised the United Fruit company,

..that hugely profitable US business at the root of several US led coups in Latin America.

Just one example.

Partly at their urging, the CIA deposed the democratically elected Guatemalan President Jacobo Árbenz.

Castillo Armas, our puppet, quickly took dictatorial powers, banning all political parties, torturing and imprisoning political opponents, and reversing the social reforms of the democratically elected Arbenz.

Armas committed massive human rights violations against Guatemalans, including genocide against the Mayans.

A series of U.S.-backed authoritarian governments ruled Guatemala until 1996

The coup has been described as the definitive deathblow to democracy in Guatemala.

US actions serving the corporations throughout Latin America served to install brutal dictators that make Castro look good in spite of his own faults.

.
You should judge?  I don't think so.


How would liberals know what actually Trump represents, they tend to only be tolerant enough to listen to those who think like they do.  Freedom of speech doesn't seem to be high on their list unless it's agreeable to their opinions or they're doing the talking.  When Bernie or Hillary comes here,  they deserve common courtesy and respect as Presidential candidates, I'm not expecting liberals to act like adults though.


I also say abolish room taxes.


Michelle Obama is kind of uppity if you ask me my opinion - I wish she and Hillary would just shut up


Running around a warehouse as an order picker or standing behind  a cash resister? Tough choice there.


Reading the Northwest Ordinance, like most did in 8th grade civics, can always confuse the locals... shown best at the Alaska Bar Association, with not one thing to do with law, on display at our United States Supreme Court.

In the moonlit night the tunnies will come darting through the sea."

He was in Insurance and it was for 6 months ...
The real estate guy was in Niagara.


This is still the ""lull of summer""....I'm still waiting for the students to return
and more normal #'s on Willamette.
I'm surprised that so few are using the bike lanes....perhaps they do not care to bike
so closely to traffic,  or do not feel safe with so many turn-outs, or perhaps the hilliness
of the area is a consideration.  If more bikers start using the area, traffic will be slower...waiting
on cars to turn right into businesses.


If by "Republican values" you are criticizing promotiion of more efficient and accountable government, I'm guilty. The unnecessary (traffic gets worse) and grossly over budget heavy elevated rail system truly does reflect Democratic Party values--spend as much of the people's money as possible so the Party's big contributors (construction unions and corporations, developers, the big banks, HECO) are enriched at the expense of the poor and middle class. Hawaii's decades of Democratic Party "leadership" has suffocated the economy and the people with the nation's most regressive tax system, hitting the poor and middle class much harder than the wealthy. Funding the Democrat rail project with the GET surcharge is insult to injury for the poor, as they they now are threatened with forever paying an even higher additional proportion of their income to pay for the gross negligence and malfeasance of Honolulu Hale and HART. Yes, bash Republicans while Democrats destroy our city.!


Why not 10.5 Million per household ? Oh wait that is only for terrorists.


Bravo! Yes, Trudy is a phony and a tax cheat, a vacuous one, but still a phony and a tax cheat.


Not at all, StewartBrian, it's just that what you wrote was oblivious, even for you.


Dude,  dude. Its hard to say this give that its traggic what happened. I wouldnt say that homosexuality isn't under attack but that its the male identity is under attack. I know, I know how that sounds but hear me out.

These boys that attacked him are probably so frustrated with the systematic sexism and outright attacks that the feminist are inflicting on the male indentoty that they lashed out at a symbol of that. Hell, who cares about being gay these days? A man who wants to love another man, whats wrong with that?

But you have to remember, there is a concerted effort by feminists to turn men into slaves. These boys go to school only to be treated as sub-human by the feminsit oppressors. There is zero respect for what men have done to create this society and are boys are being taugh in school, in society that they are evil sinners, nothing better than criminals. The oppression and disrepect these days is rife, ask more so why than how.


"I haven't heard of anything O'Reilly was being accused of as being perverted."...Speechless...😲😲😲


Smells like it's time to shovel more taxpayer money into the bottomless pit.


An eye for the eye will make the whole world blind.


Wouldn't be a cop in this town for love nor money.  We want them to do societies dirty work and then often criticize/second guess the hell out of them when they don't do it "nicely".  Meanwhile, it's "open season" on cops for no other reason that they are cops. One reason there isn't enough cops on bike paths and elsewhere is because the City spends too much money on non-essential positions like PR/marketing, spokespersons, training coordinators,etc. Your sarcastic comment about cops in doughnut shops is bull.


I am an Anesthesiologist who works in a Toronto Hospital - the VAST majority of Anesthesiologists (I know of none in the 416 area code) are NOT paid by the Hospital.  Please list your reference(s) that claim that Anesthesioloigsts are directly paid (a salary) by their Hospitals.  Perhaps you are mistaking Pathologists (where the majority are paid a salary by their Hospitals) with Anesthesiologists - Pathologists work on dead people while I keep my patient alive.


Sounds likes job for McMenamins!


SB91 has essentially removed jail time for "non-violent crimes".
But having read your interactions with others on this site, I have no desire to continue discussing/debating with you. You only appear interested in insults and your posts all come across as attention seeking. I'm done with you.


Oh of COURSE! It's Bush's fault, I forgot entirely. I guess Bush has really been secretly running the country, and just let everyone think Obama has been in charge for the past 8 years. So seriously, how do you guess they coordinated this, I'm really interested... I am wondering what length leash Bush has had Obama on. Is he a micromanager or does he let Obama do some things on his own? Interesting stuff.


Yes, this was a game I won't be replaying with my DVR even as the Blazers win a playoff series.  There was no building to a crescendo, nothing even close; but more like the ending of the French Connection and a fade to black.  Gritty and Grimy but nowhere as memorable as the French Connection.


Ah, this is a very familiar tactic. When Harris broke up Ontario Hydro and opened a "competitive market", prices spiked! Ernie Eves, facing defeat, capped pricing at 4.3c/kwh. Note that the actual price was much higher. OPG were forced to pay the difference, thus adding to the stranded debt.
 Politically, nothing changes, just the people doing the sleigh-of-hand by kicking the debt further down the road.


America’s Founders felt obligated to state the basis on which they claimed the Self-Evident Rights we enjoy (Sadly Self-Evident’s definition seems untaught in HI’s schools despite its importance to principles that define The American People (Exceptional as a People defined by shared principles instead of a bloodline). Self-Evident means: Not provable, disprovable or subject to compromise. We agree, we separate, or we fight to the death.
Yet the Star’s socialist editor, and others who don’t participate in, aren’t affected by, and don’t suffer the consequences of, flotilla foolishness presume a right to forcibly impose their will on those who do w/o explaining the basis of their claim.
If their claim is they must do so for our own good, Beware! Putting oneself in charge of someone else's wellbeing is an age-old tactic for enslaving them. Injustice done to women in the name of caring for them. NYC’s mayor claiming the right to control what we eat for our own good. Always an evil claim.


You've been repeating this, but do you think this is an actual solution? Some heavily armed young male Arab comes into the club, and the bouncer says, "Sorry, you aren't welcome here!" and then the heavily armed young male Arab is going to say, "Ok" and turn around? I have a feeling you know very well this idea is ludicrous but enjoy thinking that gay bars will be hypocritical in some way when danger comes their way. Either that or you really believe this idea will work to prevent future massacres.


Mike, would you kindly give insight into your thinking?  Her mind seems pretty sharp and her reasoning is buttressed by facts.  Please present yours so we understand the reasoning behind your statement.  An opinion without facts to back them up will appear to be based on a whim, nothing more.


what another embezzlement?


"It’s a trap, plain and simple."
Asking questions regarding possible criminal behavior is "a trap"? If a person being questioned faces no criminal charges, and they are being asked to provide information as part of an investigation, why should they resist? I have no problem with someone using the 5th Amendment to protect themselves, but whey should they be allowed to avoid testifying in regard to someone else's potential criminal behavior?


This is ridiculous.  Our roads are in bad shape.  Our food bank is open one day a week except for seniors who get an extra few hours on Saturdays.  Seniors live lonely in seclusion, without adequate public space and public transport.  There's not enough parking for residents downtown.  There's trash all over our streets and folded signs strewn all over our sidewalks, making it difficult for disabled people to move about the city.  Our buses don't run often enough for people without cars to be able to have normal lives.  But hey, we're giving free space to Hollywood to come write screenplays.  Awesome.  This is DEFINITELY what this community is about, now.  Very sad.


Diversity is beautiful!


BC's provincial debt is 70 billion. Add in contractual obligations and it is 165 billion. Not quite in Ontario's league, but considering the fact that when they took over from the NDP sixteen years ago it was 31 billion it's not the best of records.


This lie by the Donald is treason.  Lock him up!


Speculation tax measures must apply to everyone not buying a home as a principal residence.  Why target "foreign' buyers only.  Do we really care about the source of legal cash? Our own homegrown speculators far outweigh the number of folks from anywhere else.

Another bone-headed solution from the Liberals.


I never knew that.


If I were on the School board, I would fire them.  They are either too arrogant or too stupid for their current positions and there are lots more where they came from.

That would also encourage others, both now and into the future, to leave those attitudes at home.

Retirement bennies are a total guess without access to their actual employment histories, including.


It just raises concerns that Brennan was colluding with the Russians too and needs to be immediately investigated! :)


Wow!  The "deplorables" just gave the political and media elite a big middle finger.


Typical GOP.  Cant just fix things and work things out.  Always angling for their own benefit.


Who? 😁


These games of paid twitter bots can no one except whites can play better because the strategies twitter analysts hired by them follow are commendable. Blaming the same game on Guptas seems another strategy to safeguard their twitter masters so they are not disturbed and caught.


While Trump is admittedly one of our most peculiar Presidents, he did get nominated by the Republican Party and won within our Constitutional electoral process.  Having a public temper tantrum because your candidate lost is every one's right.  but it is a shame more of the pink-hatted women didn't show up at the polls in battleground states where it counted.  The many anti-Trump marches looked like British "buyers' regret" after their  Brexit vote.  It's a little late to get all pumped and proclaim "I'm with Her !"


He did answer questions, just not from your network of choice.  CNN has a lengthy history of  fake news, is something other than the truth not categorized as being a lie, which is fake in comparison to the truth.....


Rather than issues of lift, I suspect that this will happen because of the amount of emissions generated by aircraft. If countries take climate change seriously, as they should, aviation should be hit hard. There is an awful lot of unnecessary air travel. The downside is that I'll miss my annual warm-up trips to Cuba or the Mayan Riviera and I'd better fit in one more visit to Australia to visit my brother, his kids and grandkids while I can afford it and I'm not too old!


Think you were a little hard on Dr. Marrus, but in general, this was one of the Globe's best editorials in quite a long time.


Common sense. Stop the source of vibration. You don't want the rest of the airframe disintegrating.


It appears sane, community-minded and business-like people are too busy doing sane, community-minded and businesslike things to join the Kenai Assembly Asylum.

Any chance of just starting the meetings with the Alaska Flag Song and getting religous fanatic insanity out of it?
Or maybe the members just don't know how to do the real business of local government, and this is their cop-out?


That amygdala of yours just doesn't shut off does it?


He voted down a ridiculous health care act that would have taken insurance away from 20 million+ people, including anyone with pre-existing conditions. That's being a hero to most people.


Wrong


Kaspaorof, the Russian chess wizard, says this is all done by Donald Trump's man-love, Vladimir Putin. "No one else in Russia has the authority to do it; this only be done at his direction."


Just don't raise the tax or add a 100,000 dollar a bedroom tax on those luxe towers going up in the TOD zones!  Then 10000 thou a year in property tax. Rail driven corruption is killing low income rentals. Try working a 10 to 15 buck an hour job and try to find a one bedroom apartment. Rail is a real estate scam dressed in mass transit clothing.


He said he could see all the cars go by and even see to their faces.  Then, how could it be no one could see his car?  Doesn't make sense.  Also, a closer look by the deputies along the likely routes should have located him.  A roadside accident like this seemed like a fairly likely easy find to me.  The Sheriff's Office explanation is weak and unacceptable, IMO.


LOL

There are more people protesting against Trump in London then he had at his inauguration in DC. Sad.


The skeletons in her closet will always follow CH wherever she goes.  A typical "talk out of the side of her mouth" politician.


So you say Assata Shakur was not a cop killer and that Assatas Daughters was not created to honor her?   Or do you say Colin and his charity did not donate $25,000 to the organization?  Is Assata Shakur the type of person you promote?


You've really got to stop taking ecstasy at your raves, SirJohn. The effect is not wearing off any more.


Wilbur Ross, newly confirmed US Commerce Secretary... Bank of Cyprus... Deutsch Bank... Russian oligarchs... Donald Trump...

Stay tuned, folks. This one's gonna be YUGE. Bigly.


Canadian Railroad Trilogy and Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald....two of the greatest
stories Lightfoot put to music.


This began with the Donald making a comment about a reporter suggesting she was having her period. From there, is anyone surprised at where he continued?


The SACP are a bunch of hyporcrits. All along they have been singing Zuma's praises, doing his bidding and turning a blind eye to all the corruption and looting that was taking place. Looking at the podium, during their conference, one can see many cabinet ministers and deputies.  They have all been singing from the same song sheet whilst usurping the bling in the ANC led government.

And now they try the 'holier than thou' trick. With Jeremy Cronin wailing about 'what went wrong'?

Nxesi conducted the sham (inter minsiterial) investigation to get Zuma off the hook on paying for Nkandla.

It was not long ago that Blade Nzimande was praising the Gupta's and slipping in diversion tricks by pretending that they were bona-fida businessmen.

The SACP have been part and parcel to the rot that has set in. They cannot now distance themselves from the catestrophic mess of state capture. Blaming the Gupta's and simulateneously absolving Zuma does not cut. It takes two to tango.


That is thug mentality.


Right.  You're calling Obama a scholar! No, I was commenting on the ISIL term thrown in to prove Obama was superior.


It took 7 years for Bush (dubya) to crash the healthy economy handed to him, I wonder how long it will take Mr. T (Trump).


The alt-left meme is an alt-right fantasy. I can find dozens of examples of racists calling themselves alt-right (Spencer et al) but I find no one calling themselves alt-left.


Good point. It's hopeless. We should all just shoot ourselves. We've got the guns.
Seriously, all of the situation we are in was created by the voting public. Since the hanging chad election of George Bush we've had an accelerated erosion of one person, one vote. Giving up is not an answer.
We've had a hard lesson just how obstructionist Congress can be. Placing a candidate in the oval office that can galvanize the people is an excellent start. For some reason people question Sanders' ability to get things done, but not Trump. Either will face opposition.
We need 2/3rds of that 535 congressional members to propose an amendment, then 3/4ths of states to ratify.  We have passed 17 amendments.
I am not giving up before we try.


I wish they had a system that rejects idiot posts like this one.


Prairiegirl.......You didn't hear?  "Canada is back"


Canadians need to set up a guaranteed income fund for the victims. If just 35,000 Canadians donated $20 each, none of these families would have to rely on charity in years ahead. That would be the best and most appropriate financial response, in my view, to this terrible tragedy.


“send these migrants back to the U.S.”

"When asked ( Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll) specifically about the recent border crossings, the same number - 48 percent - said Canada should “send these migrants back to the U.S.”

"Another 36 percent said Canada should “accept these migrants”.

"Almost half of Canadians want illegal border crossers deported: poll" - Rod Nickel and David Ljunggren- Globe and Mail - Mar 20, 2017


none of the "good" will ever be reported or documented.


Nice


oh please.  this was an suburban neighbourhood where the ranges were short less than 100M, likely 50.  a C8 has an effective range of 400M.  the guy could have been just as effective with an Enfield.  Don't bring a pistol to a rifle fight


These are who we should have taken in the first places. Them, the Mandeans, and the Christians targeted for genocide by ISIS.


badges, uniforms are NOT symbols of oppression, bigotry and racism you ignorant loser.  NO FUNDING!


China maybe not yet, Shanghai can and Shenzhen - cities where there is enormous developments being made in working clean energy solutions such as bike sharing and electric scooters.

Most of China's emissions are due to factory line production of products to the west.

Europe is leader and will remain leader in clean energy solutions. Asia has also strong presence and growth in this field.


He said;
"Government bonds with a 10-year maturity are likely to generate a negative return over the next seven years."

You said;
" a 10-year bond purchased today would have three years left to maturity, seven years hence. "
???

How many (series) of GoC 10 year bonds are there outstanding and available on the secondary market currently Rocky ?
hint...has to be less than no less than nine (!!)
How do they differ ?
hint;several ways
How many will mature in 7 years ?
answer;all of the 2014 series
What will mature in 3 years...
the 2010 series
 (what was the coupon at issue and what is the price/yield  now ?)
etc etc


Make that two of us volunteering for Cory's opponent.


Good point. Let's register guns, mandate training, require additional training for certain guns, create a license for them, and insure them as well.


RadirD you are back...its been a couple days.

How was your time at the dacha?


what a  steaming pile  of  offal from someone  who  supported  the  congenital  liars  LBB  Barry  and  Swillary.


Leader, you make me laugh out loud! Obviously, you are not a leader!


David Brooks wrote a fascinating opinion piece in the NYT (Oct. 11) about the psychology behind Trump. You may want to share this with your students: "Donald Trump's Sad, Lonely Life"


There is plenty of evidence that he is a racist and an anti-semite...


So he stabs his wife and child to death, but takes the easy way out (gun) for himself. Disgusting, cowardly pig.


The Church indeed, is the entire people of God.  However---that does not entail that the Church is a democracy.  That does not entail that the people of God exercise the teaching authority within the Church.  The Church does not take straw polls on teaching.  The Church does not decide teaching just because the whims of pop culture and Hollywood demand it.

As an aside--I find it interesting that despite the fact that Hilary Clinton had behind her the rich and powerful news media, Hollywood, the president, a former president, etc--in short--she has the best of circumstances in order to win the presidency, she lost--despite all the power that was behind her.

I guess that means that people think for themselves--and do not think what Hollywood and the media tell them to think.


Agree, and also best known for his improper use of the phrase "average locals"


The Roman culture embraced slavery, infanticide [exposing unwanted infants in hostile environments], suicide [it was manly for a man to kill himself if by his jailing he would be demeaned], etc.  Our Western Rite still calls itself the Roman Catholic Church---and it embraced Roman law for much of its model of Canon law.

But today, we no more belong to the Roman empire than we do to the planet of the apes.  It is time for the Church to stop allowing ancient understandings of language or custom [which gave rise to shape how we minister to PEOPLE OF TODAY.  Study and learn from the past, but don't be shackled by it.


Canada and monopolizing the artificial intelligence industry ?!
Sorry - pot is not yet legal in Canada  .-)

NOT a chance .....


The majority of Americans love their guns? I wonder. Seems to me I've seen poll results suggesting majority support for additional gun controls.


When trust is gone, no excuse like polygamie can make that right.
You deserve respect Honesty and more, if he cant talk About another woman, you can question a lot more than that.

Be safe, take the pain for now and move on, you deserve more than a man who had a lot more than most men, but still has the needs to cheat on you.

You are going to be ok, dont settle for less and trust youre instincts.

Wish you the best you deserve, cheer up, head up and shine like never before ;-)


Corey Booker, if his closet is empty.


The Globe is only media calling it an "emergency" meeting..it is a meeting.
And the Quebec murder charge would likely have been thrown out under the rules before Jordan.
A lot of hyperbole going on here..


Useless posturing by Impotent Little Donald. The North Koreans will just laugh and continue to thumb their noses at the US.


So, you're an expert on which animals are self-aware?  What do you know about seals and walrus?  Or chickens and cows, for that matter?  If you were from India, you'd be condemning the cow-eaters.  Why should an entire culture listen to you?


Well, Mike, your comments require a lot of discussion to address your underlying assumptions. Hatred of Trump isn't necessarily irrational, but I believe that supporting him is. So, that's just a value judgment, a he-said she-said road to nowhere. Hillary's track record has not been "covered up" by a liberal media. All mainstream media is conservative; all of it is owned by a handful of corporations that have their fingers in every $-pie in the US.  The entire US political body is corrupt, for your information. They are all corporate whores who DO NOT care about ordinary people.  And they are very, very skilled at making sure that a lot of Americans are focused on race, religion, sex, Kardashians, Hollywood, and other issues and non-issues, anything but the truth of how our "business is everything" (i.e., money is everything) mentality exploits large majority of the people dry everyday. Trump is a nutcase sociopath.   The rest are just sociopaths.   We should do something different.


Do you Roy....? Maybe spending time in jail should make you smarter, a lot of time to read. What a hypocrite you are, who is comparing Hitler with Columbine? Only one is you.....so what you are saying is Republicans are the only corrupt ones and the Democrats are not? Is that your truthism there?


That is a total misunderstanding of the scientific method. By your logic everything we know about the sun is fake since we cannot recreate the sun in a laboratory.


"This is the difference between a guy ascending toward excellence in Wentz and one that is mediocre at best in Siemian. One put his team on his back and the other did nothing."

Bingo...you win the prize! This is what several posters have been trying to tell you for a bit now. Trevor Siemian is an average NFL QB who will only be as good as the team around him. If the line protects and the running game is clicking then it is Siemian who can throw 4 TD passes (see the Cowboys game). Carson Wentz to the delight of Eagles fans is growing into what he was expected to be as the 2nd over-all pick in the draft. A franchise QB who is the main man on the team. The kind of player that can throw his team on his back. This is what Paxton Lynch was drafted to be....this is what Brock Osweiller was drafted to be. Trevor Siemian was a 7th rounder...Chad Kelly was Mr Irrelevent. They are the type of guys you are going to have to help.
The Little Guy


It isn't so much a "mind altering drug" as it is a mood altering drug.

And, pot causes a lot LESS "damage" than cigarettes or alcohol, and even that "damage' gets less and less as people vaporize more and choose edibles rather than combustibles. In Washington State, more than half of the product sold is edibles, and more than half the 'smokers' vape.


Difference is I back up my oddball stories with facts which you can't refute.  Disparaging them isn't the same as refuting.  And you're the one who said to a black female commentator--in your online comments--that you wanted to "put her in her place."  Do boy scouts do that?  Maybe the ones who wear sheets...


He thought he was ordering a pizza.


IF the rail is completed in the "who knows when future", the West end residents who want to use it will not be able to afford to buy a ticket...be it a one way, round trip, monthly or an annual pass.  With the cost of electricity, rail maintenance, rail security, employee and employee benefits, etc., I would not be surprised that a one way price of a ticket will exceed $20 and will be less than that only if and I mean if the rail has an 85% capacity ridership.

Yea...I am pulling numbers out of the air, but, please, someone out there can give us a more accurate number.  It would be interesting to know a more accurate cost of a one way ticket...to paradise???


Most people are financially illiterate so one cannot expect intelligent questions and the good questions will be skated around by the more knowledgeable advisor.
There is so much free information that is good and available free on the internet that using an advisory is a waste of money.  Just use two fee only advisors and compare their results and next year get rid of the poor performing one and replace him with another one.
Fees are too high for the amount paid and no one is going to be as careful with your money as you would be.
A lot of good free advise just reading this business section. I even used one of Rob Carrick's porfolio suggestions and it worked out I'm sure much better than an advisor.
