motley beat me to the punch gary. as for the nastiest in history, seriously, dude, you need to study history better. we have far more nastier elections 100-200 years ago than what we have going on right now. and your biasness is unbecoming gary as they both have plenty of dirty dealings to come to public light. team billary is hands down the most vile corrupt politicians in my lifetime.


why of course, you are smarter than all those dummys who want to clean up the country and get  jobs back. tell us the " Anthony" plan to make America great again...


I commented!  3 years ago.  Still being peer reviewed though.  I'll sit here patiently.

I shouldn't respond to your ignorance until I'm not angry at how insensitive you are . I'm 1 of the aunties to those 5 little angels and ther mother and I assure you she was a great mom who loves them more than life itself . I'm going to pray for you to find God and let him in to your hardened heart and pray for myself for wanting to come find you and every other uncaring asshole who feels a sick satisfaction to feel good about themselves by hurting a brokenhearted family with ther wasted  opinions and uncontrollably  beat all of your stupid asses shame on you .


the visa bill came in and I saw $150.00 for the hairdressers, I told my wife this expense was unfair as I did not have 150 hairs.


Progress on cleaning up pollution is measured over a long period of time.  The effects of new, lax regulations will not be seen for decades.


We have the Mass every Sundy and our numbers grow.  Our young priests say the traditional mass and want little to do wit the new mass.  It is the Novus Ordo that will be buried as a mistaken abberation.  You don't know the meaning of the word heresy and you are certainly a nasty piece of work hoping the mass of the ages dies with me.


Is this Kelly's work or Donald's?


He tried to burn the body???  I'll say it again, hang this monster.


"...money grubbing sellout like Gardner."

I don't see Bennet as president but I totally agree with you that Gardner is a money grubbing sellout.  What a loser Gardner is!!!


Real ID gives every state the same access to your information.  Every state's various levels of incompetence would now be allowed a direct path to your info.

And Canada and best of all, Mexico.

Yes, various states in Mexico also get their open access to the database.  Not just one jurisdiction in Mexico but several.

Probably just fine, right?  No chance of any weird stuff or unauthorized access to your info, right?

You're fine with that.

I think maybe if people started informing themselves before saying this is fine they might find themselves wondering if this is fine.

I, for one, don't want this poorly thought out debacle becoming law.  I think it ought to be round filed.

But I took the time to read what Real ID means.  Maybe you should too.

Backwoods nonsense?  Right.  You betcha.


To tell you the truth Bill, I don't think there is any excuse for a man forcing himself on a woman that isn't willing.  Same goes for a powerful woman forcing herself on a man.  Period.

I'm just saying that women are more sexually adventuresome than 'society' is ready to accept publicly,(especially those over 50).   Birth control has lessened concern for pregnancy, and woman seek social power in ways that weren't common 50 years ago.  So why Wouldn't they use sex to achieve power/status?     There's a female Weinstein out there.

Moving toward gender equality has not been easy.  It's important that people be truthful with each other.   It's important people feel 'safe' if you want the truth.  Fewer threats and accusations would help men and women feel safer to talk honestly.


Sounds like a job for the twigs.


Grab and dash is a hare-brained scheme.


"Sometimes I have to go to the government and say, you know, there are issues here you might want to reflect on,” Mr. Harder said in a year-end interview."

====================

That is what the opposition NDP is for, to offer reflection on the Liberal/Conservative political establishment agenda. And guess what? They were ELECTED!


This is what one expects in Canada,  it seems 50 years of maoist style social engineering is not enough.
So is next year going to be a budget for mens concerns?  Or are they going to give that a pass.

Blame the victims.  You're all class.


No problem with watering lawns, golf courses and refilling swumming pools!


The Democrat response was written a week before Trump's speech and it showed.  Having a bunch of older people sitting around like pasteboard cutouts in a 'diner' was so staged and phony that it detracted from what the former Governor was saying.

 I agree with Democratic Representative Cleaver (Missouri)  who said "I don’t mind saying when we make mistakes, and that was a mistake,”

“We think we’re going to have a problem if we don’t start presenting an image of the millennials and that there’s a youth movement in the Democratic Party."

"He would have preferred a younger party spokesman such as former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro, or Rep. Cedric Richmond, Louisiana Democrat.

 "Asked by host Craig Melvin what the “thinking” was in choosing a retired official to represent the party, Mr. Cleaver replied, “The problem is, you’re asking about thinking, and that didn’t happen.”

If you are indeed this child's teacher, I would have not posted the comment you just did.


It's also her hope that the Christian community will begin to see the refugee crisis and rise of xenophobia as a "perfect opportunity to be the hands and feet of Jesus."

Exactly!  If we call ourselves Christians we need to welcome these people in need.  If we turn our backs on them then we need to stop calling ourselves Christians.


Deadly attacks committed by either Palestinian or Israeli civilians against the civilians on the other side are murder. There is no justification for such attacks under any law. It's likewise murder when a combatant on either side targets civilians.

To be sure, there have been examples of that over the six-decade course of this conflict, but relatively-speaking the numbers are low. This is true even during the worst periods of civilian-on-civilian violence. (That's not said to excuse it in any way.)

The only time that large numbers of civilians die- and they're always Palestinians- is when Israel mounts its "grass-cutting" attacks. These are the full-scale military assaults that Israel commits, using heavy weapons, naval vessels and aircraft, against Palestinians in urban areas.


Mr. Beers joins the ranks of those who don't distinguish between acknowledging history and celebrating it.

It's the latter when it's depicted heroically in the public square.


Larry, with respect, you have obviously not been paying attention to the increasing stranglehold the "too big to fail" Wall Street banks have had, and continue to have, over not only our economy but over our political system as well, particularly since 2008 when they strong-armed Congress to pass the infamous TARP bailout against the public opinion that was overwhelmingly (as in 99%) opposed to that shamelessly cronyistic piece of legislation.

If being aware and knowledgeable of recent political events constitutes being "a paranoid schizo" in your eyes, then I truly feel sorry for you.  I guess it is much more comfortable having one's head firmly buried in the sand instead.


You forgot a little item called the supremacy clause of the Constitution which gives the Federal law jurisdiction over the states or local governments-especially on issues like civil rights. Our entire system relies on the integrity of the voting system and the principle of one man, one vote. One miscast fraudulent vote can negate the vote of another lawful citizen and deprive folks of their equality of constitutional rights.
After all, if the Federal government could not intervene in such issues, blacks would still deprived of their voting rights in the South.
And if the fifty states were allowed to run their own elections without any oversight by the Justice Department we would have 50 little fiefdoms running sham elections and corrupt governments.
Hmm...sort of like Hawaii government now that I think about it.


"the Alaska Dispatch and or certain bloggers do not believe in the First Amendment"
Just a quick FYI - the First Amendment has no bearing on private property (such as this commenting service on ADN's website) or the actions of private citizens (or certain bloggers).  It protects speech from _government_ intervention.  Social consequences and private owners' own rules and regulations of online forums opened to the public are not within the realm of the First Amendment even though speech is.


So what if the legislature does not act this session! Everyone seems to forget that the State of Alaska has nearly 60 Billion dollars in the Perm fund and savings account. Use some of it instead of taxing Alaskans. When the house majority gets the courage to cut govt expenses then look at tapping into the PFD to make up the difference and maybe a bit of the principal to make up the difference. Pass a seasonal sales tax, and a tax on the massive trawl fishery. With proper cuts, and these other revenue measures very little will have to be taken from the fund or the savings account. Meantime there is NO crisis. NONE!  Just scare tactics.
Finally get rid of Walker. He provides no effective leadership.


I went and read Prof. Mann's piece from which Mr. Dresser pulls his quote. Mann doesn't endorse Stein. In fact, he appears to be endorsing Clinton. However, he does call for everyone to vote against not only Trump, but each and every Republican on the ballot because the GOP simply refuses to take climate change seriously.


are there fountains at Abernethy that don't have filters?  I doubt my kids were told not to drink from certain fountains.


I believe the Russian force is massed in Russia at the Latvian Border. Latvia is one of the Baltic states that Putin supposedly covets. Poland itself has no common border with Russia proper or with Latvia. However, Poland shares a border with the still-rebellious (against Moscow) western Ukraine, and Putin likely regards Poland as a corridor for NATO invasion. To get to Poland, Russia would have to go through Latvia and Lithuania, or through Belarus, which has friendly relations with Russia but is nominally neutral; or even through western Ukraine, though that's a lot of armed hostile territory. So at this point, Russia and NATO are not facing off at opposite sides of a common border unless it's Kaliningrad, an isolated Russian outpost vulnerable by land, sea and air. Russia probably would like a corridor to Kaliningrad along with eastern Poland, which it has invaded numerous times before. In a few days NATO and Russia are Trump's problem; we'll see how tough or "wimpy" Donald is.


Cant empathize with people in flip flops and a tank top.  When i suggested they consider weather changes and water needs they told me to gfms.  Ok, empathy done.


Yes. You have consistently argued that wages should be set by unregulated laws of supply and demand. The same way you believe *all* prices should be set. So you clearly do not think that human beings are an exception to the rules you think apply to say iron ore (rules you think are universal - as if any rules could ever be).
If you thought they were different or special in any way, you would not assume the same system must automatically be the best for them.
There is no other logical conclusion. You may not even really believe humans are resources to be consumed -but as long as you support policies that treat them that way, it makes no difference what you claim, or even think, you believe.


This is wrong, catering to the demands of these extremists.


Shocking, simply shocking. the things people will do to get a mug shot.


Larry Davis: If you click the star again or the "like button," it retracts it.  I am not sure if you knew that, so I thought I would share.  I hope that is helpful.


If I cared about what you thought, Gary, I'd certainly consider your suggestion.

Unfortunately for you, I am not in a position where you wield any sort of power over me. You don't get to grade my writing.

Mr. Massengill's original post was (IN MY OPINION) a pompous, and false appeal to his own authority. By setting himself up as a legitimate authority on history and politics, he declared himself a speaker of truth, not opinion. Science was invoked to back up his claim to truth.

Rather than waste time pointing out his fallacy, I chose to let the air out of  his screed by pointing out an error he made not once, but twice. It gave truth to his lie of superiority.

I enjoy ruthlessly pricking the odd gonfalon bubble, Gary. And, f I can do it with wit, and an economy of words, I'll continue to do so.

Try to get out more. Read something new today. Throw a ball for your dog. Google Dave Berry's year in review. Tickle a baby. A life with no laughter is not one worth living. Lighten up


Right on JadedJade! I couldn't have said it better.


I suggest County officials give Sheehan access to the records starting at a specific date and time, and publish that info so that licensed pet owners can do what they want about this issue.


As disgusting and immoral as President's Trump attack this morning was, I can't help but NOT feel bad for people in the press like Mika and Joe.  They aggressively courted him.  They gave him hours and hours of free airtime, all he had to do was call in!  The crazier he got during the election, the more these media fools courted and promoted him.  They made this FrankenTrump monster.


Not a problem.  I'm pretty sure that Jared has gills under his skin suit.


With all due respect, your comment makes no sense.  Yes, the students have other obligations, so what, so do the students that work off campus jobs, where the employer is required to pay minimum wage.  The issue here is, should the University be exempt from the minimum wage law?  I seriously doubt that these jobs are "supplementing the students education" anymore than any job would.  They more likely are on-campus service jobs.


another alt left, NO FAR NUT JOB LEFT, piece to support the liberals in ontario and thier bill to al lbut take over children from parents if they want!


spark plug and wiper are NOT english words that had no french equivalent.  Furthermore, the reason those words are used in quebec french has nothing to do with them being neologisms (which they are not).  It has everything to do with the fact that:  a) the english-only manufacturing industry imposed products on quebec with no french equivalent to terms, and b) the english speaking bosses of quebec workplaces imposed english only in workplaces, so only english terms were learned and adopted. Bill 101 changed both.
Anglos have no respect for other peoples' cultures and languages. Bill 101 is about respect in the workplace and respect in the market place.


Who needs a wall?  Illegal border crossings are down 76% since Trump took his Oath of Office seriously and enforced the Laws of the US Congress.  I'm sure you are proud of Trump for saving Americans the costs associated with illegal immigration.  Here, have a good laugh:

Marxism was founded on a lie, written by a mendacious and selfish man. That lie has been the cause of the deaths of 100 million people in the 20th century and continues to wreak death on nations. But for socialists,  what not to like?


I don't. Cut mega projects, road to mines, private dining room, Knik bridge, tax credits, gas pipeline. All dropped for 5 years or untill Juneau understands budgeting..  Many other slush funds can be cut.


Muslims love the LGBT community. Keep praising Chin and the good deeds that are to come from his actions. Aloha Akbar to you! LOL


Oh, man.  My buyer's remorse from a couple of years ago keeps growing and growing.  So many broken promises, not the least of which was the promise a new approach to politics with transparency as a cornerstone.

Shame on him for fooling us in 2015.  Shame on us if he does it again in 2019.


Agreed and what about the jump AKDOT installed in the inbound at Peters creek.  Slap more pavement on it Joe, it will be fine!


A cell phone in Ontario now costs 90 a month.  unreal.


Since when has Drumpf ever told the truth and who is still naive enough to believe anything that comes out of that pouty little mouth?  As Ivanka herself says - "their job is to keep the Trump name brand is good stead".   This has nothing to do with being Presidential.


"it was an executive order by a president trying to create law when he couldn't persuade the Congress to create law"
Yep, it's shameful how Donald Trump exploits executive orders.


Funny. You could substitute, "The State of Alaska", for "Miklautsch and Burglin", and the story would be nearly the same.


I would argue that Putin's Russia is an extreme case and VG supports Putin whose war in Ukraine has cost more than 10,000 lives. I suspect that a lot of the folk sounding off about how music and culture shouldn't be politicized don't know much about Putin's Russia and don't know much about what's going on in Ukraine and the suppression of human rights in Crimea, especially of the Crimean Tatars.


As one who has tended to stand at the sideline of the abuse scandal, I found Luke Hanson's interview with Susan Pavlak not merely informative, but deeply deeply  inspiring. Thank you to NCR for publishing it. And thank you, Susan, for your example of courage, honesty and commitment.


Too funny.  They can barely keep pavement on the roads in Canada and now you think that they will be wired to keep you on the road.


Like you know what the 99% live like.  you must be vying for pretentious canoe rider of the year!  Go back to your canoe and do what you do best Maggie!


A few "pennies" for taxpayers, a huge and mounting debt for them, also. Hmmmm… perhaps it's time to revisit this ridiculously dumb idea of the "kicker"? The state is booming now, but we all know a downturn is coming. How many folks think running on empty is a good fiscal strategy? If you do, you'll probably be hysterically happy if the massive corporate and 1% Republican tax forgivenesses come to fruition.
BTW, notice that difference between median and average kicker rebates? That's the income disparity in this state about as well documented as you can get. Kind of like the complete misinformation touted by those boo-hoo-hooing the corporate tax rate: it completely is divorced from what corporations actually PAY. Rates are meaningless in a system dominated by loopholes, deductions, and special interest tax laws.


Mr. Keillor has written one of the best comments on this tragedy and Trump's rise.  Pay attention to his analysis, especially the final two sentences. How can Trump, or any normal person who has children and pretends to an iota of tolerance for others, celebrate the death of a group of people simply going about their lives as human beings?


What is almost as incredulous as the payment/apology;.... why is he still allowed to live in Canada? A once Canadian citizen that turned traitor and fought against us. Unbelievable!


sounds like a spoiled brat.


Ignoring the arrogant subtext of this article ...
1) It seems that somehow Russia outplayed US with Turkey. Kudos to them.
2)The author of this article has absolutely no idea of who are the "moderates" in Syria and who are not.
3) If US interventions from the past have shown anything it is that violence in the countries only increases after the all the efforts of "democratization"
4) I agree that Russia-Iran axis is unlikely to create a new beautiful republic in the place of Syria, but it IS likely to stop the war and put the country to the rebuilding path.
5) Pretty sure that Syrians would prefer this to the Iraq/Afghanistan/Libya scenario.
6) The author should try and travel somewhere past Nebraska if he wants to write about his nation's policies that affect the rest of the world.


Hopefully he will use his position on the court to further protect the individual right of gun ownership from those who would dismantle that right.


33% see no issue with what they are doing.
Not sure what portion of those are personally benefitting and those that are blind followers.
Either way you are wasting your time trying to explain the issue to them.
Sad but reality.


Its, full stop. No apostrophe required.


In my opinion, he was told to take this stand! Nothing more than that!


"The cultural values surrounding women, critical inquiry, freedom of expression and freedom of conscience in many Muslim countries are often at odds with prevailing Western norms."

The author is correct, of course. (She also might have added sexual orientation to her list, but perhaps that's a non-starter?) The problem these days is that too many "progressive" commentators would denounce the same statement as that made by the author as xenophobic were it being made by the wrong person. Such a statement might even be censored in the MSM. We now regularly hear that the concept of 'free speech' (or free expression), which is integral to Western values, simply amounts to 'coded' or 'veiled' language that implies intolerant intent on the part of those who raise it. Here, however, the author presumably gets a pass. It's our own perfidy that will lead us to forfeit our values if we don't stand up for them.


According to who? the Russian propaganda machine, or did you personally ask each and every Russian?..


I have an MMC and I'm betting you don't.   The mate is as qualified as the Master and probably has the same licensure as well as pilotage, which is required for a large vessel in those waters.   If the Captain stands watch at all on a large vessel, it is only one watch in the day, and all the other watches are stood by Mates.   Yes, a Master is held responsible, but the point is, he didn't put the vessel on the reef and he had no responsibility to be at the conn.

Sometimes it better to remain silent rather than type and prove you don't know what you're talking about.


I'm curious how WCHS came up with the Rebel mascot. It's certainly representative of a Confederate general or colonel, and how can you represent the Confederacy without the Confederate flag. If you look at the test scores, you can see that this school isn't focused on academics.

"The gas that fell from the sky". Tell us just how you know that the gas that killed these people came from Syrian aircraft and wasn't gas already on the ground in a "moderate opposition's" weapons cache? Two days ago it was sarin gas and already the story is morphing to chlorine gas. How many tines do you fall for the same bait and switch war porn? Are those civilians any more dead than those blown to pieces my American bombings of say, a wedding party, or a funeral, or an apartment complex?

The facts are that this government has killed many more innocent women, children, men and elders than the Syrian government ever will and now you are acting as a cheering section for even more killing. Where's your outrage about that?


"Real estate assessments for single-family detached houses in the Vancouver region soared 50 per cent in value over only a one-year period".

Yes, the feeble new tax on foreigners is doing exactly what I predicted (applause here, thank you) on Vancouver house prices.

Which is it is doing nothing.

House prices in Vancouver were dozens of times the average annual local salary a year ago, they were that six months ago, they were that six days ago, and they will be that six months from now.

It was NEVER the intention of government to lower house prices by meaningfully addressing overseas money flooding in (most of it through investor immigrants/passport buyers, NOT "foreign purchases" by people without Canadian citizenship).


This doesn't even make sense.


My father started using Mettrum products in September 2016 for his cancer. His symptoms became exacerbated, went into the hospital mid November and died December 22 2016. I'm curious, and angry, to find out if Mettrum's products had anything to do with it.


So, if pet owners are to stupid to follow the laws in place, then we'll enact new laws to see if the trappers are smart enough to follow the rules??? Then do pet owners get to keep their animals on 190 foot leashes?
I love the photo. The sign says it all...

America first.  That seems to include our border services doing the work for their American counterparts.  If the cargo is in transit, then ensuring it meets "intellectual property" standards is the responsibility of country it is going to, not the country it passes through.   I for one am rather tired of the arrogance of bigots to the south of us.

Wow.
How did *your* comment get through the civility check?

And in answer to your question, however rude it may be: no. No, you may not.


They are part of the shadow government. It is a junta not some friendly protectors of society. The same thing has happened in Ontario, what really goes on is completely shocking and we have no control over it.

"Does anyone know why it has to be owned by muslims? Is there a particular reason the 500 plots should not be used?"

Like most of these alt-left causes, it is not actually the result They care about; They only care about forcing others to change.  The very definition of 1st World problems.


A known trouble maker.


Where is the evidence the president has done anything illegal?  After all, the Left and the Media Elite built up James Comey's testimony like it was going to reveal evidence, but it turned out to be a complete "nothing burger".  We did find out Comey leaked his own notes.


Best story in the news today.


Your suggestion is an insult to anyone who has actually endured fascism.


"...if groups of people are clearly still benefitting (like my ancestors)...'

Exactly how are your ancestors still benefiting from historic actions? I would suspect they are all dead.

There is much to do, to reconcile with our FN neighbours.  We should be focusing on substantive ways of building bridges. I believe the vast majority of Canadians understand the pain and suffering that was created for indigenous people in the past, and understand the legacy of residential schools on today's generations.  To piggy back on the US debate about Confederate statues/symbols,  is not advancing reconciliation on iota.


Re  "Trumps lowest rating"    Obama had one of the highest approval ratings ever and look at the disaster and  misery he has left the US and the World in. .     We have a fellow in Canada that is the same, full of charisma and promises but low on everything else


Pro bowl talent available like who?  Free agent or trade?  Keep in mind that trade is going to cost you dearly in another area (for anyone all that good).


By your definition then any "popular" politician is a populist. Trumps values are diametrically opposed to the common people. Take for example his position on medicare. The people who voted for him bought into his "brand" and continue to do so. It's a "tribe". Even people in his own party (right wingers...gasp) are uncomfortable with his tactics. For example Comey was a card carrying Republican until recently. Trump has harnessed  the dark side of populist politics and the US is going down a very dark road...
It occurs to me that thinking people everywhere have a stake in this. Conservatives need to stand up and speak out every bit as loudly as their more  liberal partners in this project we call democracy.


Motley, our opinions regarding the nature of our justice system are extremely important.  I did not comment on this particular case, I commented on our system exemplified by the subject case where a charge is levied likely without any physical evidence and in the end the reality of a crime or not a crime is determined only by who is believed.  I think objectively we or a jury can never know the truth in cases like this, the jury will most likely be voting their prejudices and personal world views.  You know a grand jury is a rubber stamp and an indictment via them carries no special validation.  Grand juries approve what 99 +% of indictments sought?  When it goes to trial, the trial jury will hear a person charge another with crimes having no physical reality in the current world.  Our practice of convicting under such circumstances is a morally dubious.  We cannot rule out malfeasance on the part of the accuser any more than we can rule out malfeasance on the part of the defendent.


It wasn't clark's response at the time that was teh problem. it was lying about it afterward.


Your usual political partisanship coupled with the lack of objective subject knowledge is noted.


It plays like music to the ears or candy to the eyes. Soon hopefully the black puffing diesel transports and buses found on the streets today will end up as exhibits in the Smithsonian. People should look back incredulously at this period, probably not so differently to what people feel now when looking back at the Industrial Revolution, with all the grime and disease that era produced. People will be less of a menace to the planet, choosing to get around on their e-bikes or electric cars instead of F-150s or diesel powered VWs.


He is a throwback all right, with cave man attitudes toward women, a slaveholders attitude toward black people, and an expressed hatred toward Mexicans and Muslims. We ended slavery 150 years ago. Men like Trump didn't do that.

You nor anyone else is a "slave" to "political correctness", which is a nasty meme intended to demonize respect toward all people, no matter their differences to or with you. I have seen a lot of people who practice disrespect - we call them "rude" or sometimes "jerks". But you aren't enslaved, you can be as rude as you want. And the person to whom you are rude can punch you in the nose. See? Freedom! No slavery!


Moronic, uneducated, dumpy, useless comment! People like you like to make only hostile, ridiculous comments because you have nothing else better to do with your time. Do you have ANYTHING positive to say?! Otherwise don't bother posting your comments here. Where do you live?


It was stunning to learn that the parishioners had to read about the church closing in the bulletin. The priest didn't have the integrity to announce it at the end of Mass. Why is bigger better? Why can't they allow these churches to stay open as small church communities? The excuse for the closing is fewer priest. The fault for fewer priest lies with the priesthood not the parishioners. The Bishop is blaming the members of this parish by closing the parish. This is nothing short of immoral and another example of why there are fewer priest in his diocese.


And there you have it. People like you are the reason Black Bloc is back. Expect to see more of them.  I'm only surprised it took so long for them to manifest.


D.S.-As long as a PFD check is being distributed, I see no reason for anyone paying an income tax, whether they make $10,000 or $1,000,000,000.

De-insure it.  Let the doctor have the right to charge what they think their time is worth.  The market will decide what the service is worth.  Just like professional sports.  You'll get what you've pay for.


Please don't misconstrue my post. These birds are protected and the boys deserve what they got. Nobody should kill any animal for the sake of "fun". My question is, why are these birds protected? When I look up Laysan albatross, there are over a million of them. Just wondering.


ACLU needs  toilet paper that's why but I agree with you


Automation killed jobs.  Running out of big trees (mostly gone now), did that, too.

Boom and bust.

Some people don't know air grows on trees.  Perhaps corporations will sell us bottled air like they do bottled water ...


Because you're  an idiot


Go live somewhere in the rest of the country. And good luck with the job search.


How does it affect you?


Great perspective. Sadly, the tourism industry believes too often that what is good for their industry is good for the destination. While that thinking might translate into quarterly profits and seasonal jobs, it's not sustainable and the destination AND the industry eventually go into a nasty decline. To deal with this emerging reality, destinations are turning to the creation of Tourism Master Plans which are NOT about real estate but are about quality of life.


Just in time for Halloween; a mask is a must.


Maybe they should ban body lice, beards and dreadlocks from downtown.  Then turn the EWEB super fund site into a homeless camp.


The "spirit is willing but the flesh" is a much bigger point Our Lord makes than that one night, one little human struggle.

As always, Our Lord is teaching us, is teaching you and me, a big and enduring and general and particular lesson!

You're trying to shrink Our Lord's point and lesson.

We don't have perfect dominion over our appetites and our body and Our Lord is pointing this out.

Yes, it does take practice, and grace from God, and beginning again...


Some of those calling Lynch a bust also said Siemian was the QB of the future for Denver so take that for what you will.

Whether Lynch is a bust or not remains to be seen, but it's time to move on from Siemian who has proven to be as bad as many believed he was.

As for Elway, he needs to figure out why he and his team are incapable of finding good offensive linemen.


Move to Washington DC please Boots!


When you have NO evidence that in these days, whites in general do NOT believe that black lives don;t matter, and there is ample evidence that in general whites believe that black lives DO matter, it is a vicious racist lie.  More than 150 years ago, scores of thousands of white boys died to end slavery.  Jim Crow followed in some places, yes, but it was whites who ruled those laws unconstitutional.  Then there was busing, and "race norming" (giving an applicant for a federal job more points on a test merely for being black), and affirmative action in college entrance and private sector jobs.  And you still say that whites in general believe black lives don't matter.  Where is the everyday killing of blacks by whites?  Where is the everyday wanton maiming of blacks by whites?  Your statements reveal the utter moral bankruptcy.  I will continue to treat blacks as equals, as human beings, with respect and courtesy, despite your best efforts to make me hate.  You failed miserably.


Uhhh, once the park is closed no one will be allowed inside.

If homeless come back, expect to be arrested, items put in storage.

PR could make Ed the tail that  wags the dog
It could also make Trump the tail that wags the dog

So how does PR stop Trump?
Is Ed thinking ?


What a stupid confusing non comparable article written here. If you are going to compare BP's Alaska's operation in 2015 to 2014 and not adjust both years for the sale to Hilcorp of significant assets including personnel, oil production, and vendor contracts, you are simply comparing apples to oranges; garbage in garbage out. Man, do a better job!!


As Harry Truman said, "You can't get rich in politics unless you're a crook",  and guess what.  Bill and Hilary Clinton who were broke after leaving the presidency became multi-millionaires when Hilary became Secretary of State. Your choice. a "Rinky Dink Candidate" or a crook.

I didn't have a problem with Trudeau's vacation & I don't have one with Ambrose's.  It is a bit rich though that she pointed an accusatory finger from a billionaire's yacht..and then checked  the ethical status of her own vacation from that yacht is pretty slimy.
I don't care how partisan you are, she is the leader of the Opposition, MP representing Alberta & she is schmoozing with "energy mogul"...all good.


Snowflake, you don't have to bear the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune (AKA"take it any more"), you know. You can quit the job, or you can commit seppuku. (Tip of the hat to the film "Shogun"). Personally, I don't care which you choose, but do something other than whine.


A vote for Hillary is a vote for more national debt and massive immigration of cultures that do not accept us.  Obama has increased our debt more than all presidents combined.  European countries have completely destroyed themselves by allowing massive immigration of muslims. Muslims make christian conservatives look like peace loving liberals. Germany is projected to be a muslim majority by 2060 due to child births, at that point you will see Sharia Law put into place and women will lose all the rights they have fought for. Sweden and Norway are practically destroyed. Sweden is the rape capital of the world.


The Trailer Park crowd probably didn't even vote as they wouldn't know how to read a ballot.

So what do your sources say about the "various world leaders"? They WISH they were Trump. Do you know why? Because he is a success. He is not a Dem or Rep. He is not a politician, or bureaucrat, nor warrior. He is a success. I bet these same world leaders will have their collective hats in hands to ask for our money or some of his. I wrote this on another comment, but didn't see it posted. So again, there are thousands, literally thousands, of recent participants in our various and sundry institutions of higher learning pinning their hopes on being asked to become a part of the Trump business.  Hotels, golf courses, business interests, etc. Many of them want to be like him. Many of them want just his money. Many of them just want to pay rent. And many of them just want to use the Trump name as a segue into an even better life than what they have now. They are not asking to learn incompetence; Just as you don't learn golf from a tennis pro, you don't learn success from someone who is no


I'm continually amazed and astonished at the research being done in the Arctic. This story triggers my imagination like when I was a kid reading Jules Verne. Are there images taken by Ridgway that can be viewed online? Thanks for another great column, Ned!


The word "misogynist" has not lost its meaning; it has, however, lost its impact on many people, you likely being one them, Den...

I appreciate that MANY people see this guy as a potential change agent, but that aside, you cannot possibly dispute the fact that he is a vile human being. He is a liar; he is a thief; he is unethical in his business dealings; he is disrespectful to anyone that chooses to disagree, fight for their own positions, or fight for what is rightfully theirs (like payment for work completed on one of his garish, overpriced properties); and he is dismissive of any woman that does not provide some sort of services to him (and this includes efficiently and effectively managing his construction projects, not just sex)...

Many of you that support this man are locked in the battle known as cognitive dissonance: How do you think well of his potential while acknowledging his nature? Deal with it as you may...the rest of the world sees this guy as the pond scum he is...


I think you are missing my point.  It is that Planned Parenthood is no more "federally funded" than other health care organizations that provide the same types of services.  It is not like there is a budget line item for PP.  They receive reimbursements and grants the same as any other similar organization is able to.  I am aware of the good and bad views put forward by Margaret Sanger, but I am not sure how that is relevant today or to this topic.  I am still waiting to hear what information you would like PP to produce that they haven't already.  Based on your comments, I would suggest that there is already a lot of public information out there about them... more so than most other health care organizations.


If Congressman Walberg supports it it's bad for workers. No matter how appealing it's called, be assured it's bad for the Middle class.


LW2: You sound like a real winner. You "wouldn't allow" her to have her wedding when she wanted to have it, instead of saying "Hey sis, much as I'd love to be a bridesmaid, that weekend isn't good. You might want to find someone else." Then you lectured your sister when she complained about the flowers (granted, I can't think of anything I'd care about less than pretty but dying flowers at a wedding, but that was unnecessary). You could have just sympathized. Then you refuse to video the wedding and call her marriage "doomed"? Even I, who hate weddings and would only be involved in one as a guest, think you were really pretty nasty. I would apologize and be a sport and video her wedding and stop with the unnecessary criticism.


Alrighty, then, to edit my comment above:  (and presumably those who share your same ideological and doctrinal positions and your collective)...


Oh Puuullease!!!  You trivialize a very serious subject.  From checkout irritant to ".....when a person can be killed.....etc ".  Take a deep breath before you press the send button w such silliness!
Time to tone down the rhetoric Mr Quinn.  You do a disservice to any efforts to deal with a serious topic.  And please take your white man's burden somewhere else.


How are they taxed to pay for roads? The only portion that pays for roads are gas tax dollars.


This is great news for insurance companies.  Should this place burn, there will be a gaping hole that the insurance company can exploit to keep from paying a claim:  that the Fire Marshall's instructions were ignored.


I'm still not sure why the Governor was not handling public relations. Considering their status of government, debt and unwillingness to make concessions it puts them in a tedious position for receiving aid. IMO, Trump would have kept quieter had this woman stayed off CNN. So I ask, who is being the idiot here?


So basically Osweiler pulled a Josh McDaniels, except this time the Broncos are on the good side of the deal.

McDaniels was great as the OC in NE, and was great as OC after he returned to NE.  But he sucked as HC here, and we paid a pretty big price for the failure.

Similarly, Brock was a good backup QB for us at a cheap price for 4 years.  But he sucked as a starting QB and cost HOU and CLE dearly.  Now he's back with us as a cheap backup QB again.  We come out smelling like a rose in this deal.


Are you accusing Trump or anyone in his administration of money laundering for the Russian government and do you have any verifiable evidence? Or are you just explaining how the Clinton crime foundation is funded?


No. The Muslim religion is not a threat and it has a place in western democracy. Any religion can be used as a tool by those who wish to do harm but the religion itself is not the source of the harm. The vast majority of Muslims are peaceful people. just as the vast majority of Christians and Jews. In every society including Christian societies there have been those who have used religion as a basis for violent acts.


Boots "Have to laugh at these people who are against rail because it is a bit over budget. "

You are laughing at the rail project being "a bit over budget"?!?!  How out of touch can you possibly be?  How disrespectful and hateful are you to the local struggling families who are having their rent, medicine and food taxed to pay for $2.5 million rent in luxury highrises and other disgusting excesses of this rail mess?

From the very beginning, HART and Honolulu and the Mayor have spent millions of our own money assuring us that the "financial plan is solid" and they have a "contingency fund to cover all cost overruns"  Do you not remember the expensive and dishonest media blitz paid with our own taxes?

And you KNOW this doesn't go the westside communities it was promised to, nor does it go to UH or Waikiki.  It serves developers.  Why do you insist on lying to enrich powerful corporations at the expense of struggling families??  You are a fake progressive and should be ashamed.


Technically, you're right...
In practicality, we have no idea who's actually driving the ship, or where they're taking it and us.
Governor seems to be dictating "budget" (for now) by playing heads-up poker, raising the ante by threatening us with a statewide work slowdown or stoppage.


Just for clarification:  No charges were filed agains Neil Goldschmidt because the statute of limitations had "run out" befor his actions were exposed.  Otherwide, believe me, he would have faced felony charges.

I think Kitzhaber made some very bad decisions regarding his girlfriend and her actions.  Whether he committed any "criminal" acts himself has not been determinded.  Actually, whether Ms. Hayes committed any "crimes" or even merits indictment has not been determined either.


I don't care what language they speak, as long as they do a great job keeping the federal budget in line, avoid running defecits, promote trade and not look at me as a bailout tool by raising taxes. If they can do this, then they can use sign language for all I care.


The  article  states  that  costs  have  not  been  fully  defined  but  it  isn't  difficult  to  estimate  the  minimum  cost.

At   $50/tonne  in  2022  the  annual  cost  will  be  approximately   $750  per  person  based  on  2010  per  capita  emissions  of  15  tonne  per  capita.

Total  Canadian  cost  will  be  between   $26  billion  and  $36.5  billion  depending  on  whether  you  use  the  2030  target  or  2014  emissions  actual.

However  you  look  at  it  it  is  a  lot  of  money  being  redirected  out  of  the  private  economy.


A vote for Johnson is a vote for Trump.  Remember Nader anyone?!?


Garbage. The U.S. is still open to real refugees. What the U.S. is trying to stop are fake refugees sneaking into  the country illegally, and other illegals sneaking into the country who are not fleeing war or violence, but simply looking for better economic opportunities, but not wanting to follow the rules  and apply in the normal manner. These are now heading north, thanks to JT's  invitation.


Have you noticed, Pan17, that when DT reads a (speechwriter's) speech from the teleprompter, the tone and the vocabulary are strikingly different from his extemporaneous ( his own?) comments elsewhere?  Possible interpretation:  he doesn't understand what he reads as "his own" frame of mind and values (that the speechwriter was trying to convey), or that it's not actually his, but that of the man (whoever that is) behind the speechwriter, or that he doesn't remember what he read, so that he is easily able to counter what he said at another time.  A further one - mine - Beginning (?) dementia:  the trouble processing new complex info; the memory problems; substituting broad platitudes ("great", "unbelievable", etc), and being unaware of this, to explain positions or policies; inappropriate and impulsive behavior; rambling, nonsensical (his stream of consciousness) sentences; the delusions; etcetera, etcetera.  Oh, my comic book hero needs no defending!


No. They live in a social and political bubble where they think anyone that thinks differently than them is an extremist and it is the ADN's responsibility to push their agenda on all of ou, regardless of balance or full truth. Ultimately, they believe anyone who disagrees with them is wrong and any other point of view cannot be expressed. It's not a free forum, but rather propaganda.


obama's opposition to compromise always demanding everything 100% his way was completely nuts and the reason he could not get anything done. he even had to bribe dem senators just to get aca passed.


Some thing is not right here. Rogers is still beating profit expectations and rewarding their shareholders. I can only surmise that their performance can be attributed to their underhanded practices at confusing customers with their purposely designed bundled service plans and questionable customer retention strategies. Rogers' goal is to squeeze as much money out of their customers and deliver as little value as possible, which is admirable from a business fundamentals point of view but the lack of competition in Canada in this space means that Rogers can screw with their customers quite a bit with minimal negative effect (only lost 18k TV subscribers!!!). I can only hope for a new global model to come along that will punish Rogers for all the wrongs to its customer base.


Good luck with that idea as there is no law,  even COMMON SENSE which prevents crabbers from placing pots near the ferry landings.
   What i noticed this yr with crabbers and boaters was blatant disregard for even getting out of the path of oncoming ferries. The ferry captains were blowing air horns as if they were interstate truckers.
   Another idea that might be looked at is that the vast majority of crab pots were from the nations.  Not a chance in haiti of them taking any responsibility for damages, much less compensating the state.


Ill laws? What? Like laws against attempted murder? Property destruction? Placing people in fear of their lives?

What the hell is wrong with you? Score a clue pal.


The photo associated with the article shows a Muslim lady using a British flag as a hijab to cover her hair.

Do Muslims really want to accept and adopt British traditions, culture, customs, ways, values and laws?

Or do Muslims really want to get their way and change Britain?


Racism will be cured when you take off yrou hijab when asked.

Muslims excoriate us about alleged Islamophobia, but we should bear in mind Islam's entrenched racism, xenophobia, homophobia, misogyny, anti-Semitism, Christophbia, Europhobia, Americanophobia, destructive iconoclasm, and even Islamophobia against each other. Ancient tribal wars between Kurds, Shiite, Sunni, Wahhabi, Druze and other Islamic sects such s ISIS , Taliban and Al Quada are the cause of most wars in the world today.


There we have it a Liberal voter.  George Lenard is part and parcel for saddling us with Junior and decades of debt.  Thanks for nothing George.  Wow I would be smart enough to shut up and not dig a deeper hole.


Here are my cuts and revenue ideas:

Take the current amount of the budget, reduce it by the amount of the budget deficit by any means necessary, force politicians and bureaucrats to live within their means-just like families do.

New revenue streams: NONE!. Problem solved. It really is simple math.


Your comment is fairly incomprehensible.  Native regional and village corporations can sell their land or keep it, as they wish.  Individual Native allotment owners can sell their allotments only with the consent of the Secretary of the Interior, unless this restriction has been lifted by the Secretary's finding that the Native allotment owner is competent to handle his or her own affairs. That is the way the 1906 Native Allotment Act is written.  The Secretary's authority is usually delegated to the Regional Office of the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

It is not legally possible to establish a prescriptive easement on a Native allotment because with that title status, the land is not free to be adversely appropriated or used by others.


"I wonder if they will use the proceeds to pay their long suffering share holders a dividend"

Please explain how the ACA is illegal, but Social security is OK?


The fake news media feel free to put out slanted and sometimes outright fake news under the guise of freedom of the press.  But when Trump wants to run an ad they become so offended and outraged when they feel his standard of "The Truth" doesn't jive with theirs.  The elite press claim to be the last bastion of a free society, but they really look down on the everyday people they claim to be protecting.  That's why they are still outraged that a dummy like Trump could survive and win after they bombarded him with hundreds of millions of dollars in negative attack ads and articles.  How dare he challenge the press...and win!  Nobody has done that before.  The time of coddling the press and bowing to their power is over.  Trump has turned the tables and if he does nothing else for the next 4 years, he will have done this country a great favor.  President Trump is going at Mach One with his hair on fire and the pitiful press and the Dems are left with calling him names and protesting.


I just fly Southwest, your bags fly free.


I think this highlights the risk of the dangerous kavakava drug that should become illegal and pursued by the DEA to rack up as many felonies for possession and distribution to fill our for-profit prisons.  Prisons are jobs people, just like coal.  Don't you care about jobs?
I would love to see what trump or more importantly Jeff sessions would say about this sedative which has now proven itself as being attractive to slugs and causing neurological damage to individuals.  Not to mention that it is mainly consumed and sold by people that are a darker that white skin tone. Even more motivation to make it as illegal as possible with the stiffest penalties they can muster up for this horrible mind altering substance.   Thank rat-lungworm for highlighting yet another dangerous substance that must be pursued by the government to the full extent like cannabis.


This is a pseudo government created disaster. I remember the nonsense 10-15 years ago with the "pain is the 5th vital sign." At that time hospitals who were under the Joint Commission microscope were tweaked if they were not dumping pain medications on everybody. It spread to everything because those policies affected the ER. And guess what another game is patient satisfaction scores  and those are higher in institutions that prescribe more narcotics. When the measures used to judge push the use of narcotics guess what happens. Many of us resisted the ridiculous use of narcotics. There are some specialties that bought into it for financial reasons and a lot of the regulation was driven by those specialties and somewhat by big pharma but it was the policy that lit the fire. And that fire has spread elsewhere as the public latched on to it. Now people think they should never have any pain. Kind of goes well with the Bernie Sanders free stuff and all the trophies for last place.


Uh, this occurred under a Democrat administration.  Good try though.


And to be replaced by what ... Howdy Doody


OMG, in commenting on the obvious fact that our sidewalks are strewn with filthy drunks and druggies, in reaction to an article about sidewalk sprawlers, is it really necessary to include a notarized disclaimer duly acknowledging the splendid diversity of our homeless population, not all of whom are filthy drunks and druggies?


Yes, you sure are.


Some people should never use social media as a means of communication.


“I am not responsible for the death of that woman.”

Sounds like rantings of a greedy sociopath.


Very easy to say that they can't be blamed for sins of their ancestors.  But, if there is any truth to what you say, why aren't these "pacifists" denouncing the aggression of their ancestors?  Why does government ministers regularly pay official visit to shrine containing aggressors, rapists and convicted war criminals?  Why aren't the Japanese ceding territory to their former foes?

Imagine the uproar if Angela Merkel wore a swastika or praised Hitler. Or, in 1990, Germany didn't renounce its claims on Polish land.  Today, Japan continues to have an emperor and worships WWII criminals.  Islands are still in dispute with Russians and Chinese.  And you want to call them pacifists?

Easy for aggressors to forget the atrocities and the sins of their fathers, especially when they are enjoying the fruits of their sins.  Not so for the victims.


Is this a newspaper or a propaganda machine? This writer is a "reporter" for a newspaper? With this kind of opinion-mongering parading as "news," I'm not likely to shed a tear if this paper folds.


Yes, leave a crazy man alone so he can "cool down" after shooting at people. So when he actually kills someone it would be the fault of the police. Sounds like a great idea. He started this craziness. No sympathy.


I can hardly wait for a news report about you being assaulted at work, when you're just trying to do your job and make a living, so we can all have a few chuckles about it.


To call increased Canada Pension Plan contributions a "tax" is  not being entirely honest.  A premium paid for an old age pension benefit is entirely different.


Okay:  One state.  A Jewish state, that includes the West Bank and all of Jerusalem.  The Palestinians don't want to negotiate.  Fine. Let them leave.  Let them go to the Islamic countries that fund their continued terrorism.

You have made so many statements that warrant response.  First, parents are not responsible for a child who chooses hell over paradise; the child has free will.  Second, faith is not logical, or it wouldn't be faith.  Third, while we may develop our faith through logic, faith also develops by encountering the divine and by responding to the prompting of love in human relationships.


Woot, woot.


I know of a Christian muslim who accompanied two Clergy to their favorite muslim owned restaurant. They bragged they were great friends with the muslim owner....The Christian spoke the same language as the owner, and asked him what he really thought of the two 'christian men' -Not knowing this man was also a Christian, the owner laughed and told him when the Mahdi comes they will chop off their heads. Their book says it is forbidden to be a 'real' friend to the people of the BOOK (Bible)They will pretend to facilitate the outcome they desire. This is why a person can work for a year at a company and then murder everyone there at a party with no conscience as happened in California.


yes very little can stop politicians from wanting to steal money from taxpayers


G&M Say: "The average house price in your area last quarter was $746,445
Based on your area code V5E"
I ask again, does this include condos as houses?
If so say so.  If not so this G&M avg house price for my area is total TRASH !
Here the BOTTOM price for a very undesirable house here  is $1m.
For a desirable house the starting price is now about $1.5m.

So condo sales are down, but prices are up. Obviously that reflects a limited supply situation.  Here houses are in limited supply, so prices are going up.

The ugly housing situation is ReMax showing houses that aren't for sale on their web site.
They say just click for realtor service.  I assume then a listing is attempted for their buyer.


Your bothsiderism is in the end supporting the racists.  Good job.


"Otherwise every desirable place to live will be destroyed by overpopulation."  There are only three ways to prevent overpopulation; Limit breeding, kill the excess population; or prohibit movement into an "area, county, state, etc., or dies".

Killing them and internal passports and movement restrictions are illegal, but sterilization by eugenics was still approved in Oregon in 1972 by the Oregon Court of Appeals so I went with the legal method left.


We could have pretty much shut down the black market through reasonably priced legal weed, but politicians got greedy.


It was the NDP that brought in medicare in Sask and forced the issue federally. These days the NDP is more to the centre than it used to be.

And yet, somehow so many people allow themselves to be convinced that the NDP are scary.

And Tommy Douglas is still revered. Talk about cognitive dissonance...


Great article.

I'm opposed to purging Canadian history (as all non-Native Canadians should be). The author supports it (as all First Nations should). This is the point we should be starting the Truth and Reconciliation debate from. HONESTY. What's good for the FN is often bad for Canada and what's good for Canada is almost always bad for the FN. We are a nation built on their suffering.

The views about slippery slopes and respecting our history are the common sense Canadian views.

The views expressed in this article are the common sense indigenous views.

The common sense indigenous viewpoint and the common sense Canadian viewpoint need to talk rationally, without fake-left self congratulatory politicians making promises they know they won't keep and the media constantly pushing stories on statues and parking lot Islamophobia, instead of Thunder Bay, land rights and suicide epidemics.

We need to start discussing reconciliation in an honest way not built on white guilt lies.


How do you figure? Cakes, flowers, photographs and fancy venues used for a wedding affirm the union as a good thing. They are not merely neutral accoutrements. If you would bake a cake or arrange flowers for some freely-chosen activity or association that you don't think is a good thing, then you are being hypocritical.


anybody noticing these murders are happening out in the bethel danebo area?   Bethelmore.  my brother asks WHEN are we moving out of "little Baltimore".  you'd think we'd see cops but nooooo.  i am going to request a ride along - i want to see what the hell the cops are doing besides staying in their rigs?  i requested "welfare checks" for our rental house - the woman there is super concerned about her  and her kids safety. there have been people prowling, ripping screens to check for unlocked windows... so the cops said sure...  they'll cruise by middle of the night.  the security cam says no - they didn't. (we turned one to the street hoping to see a rig or something  of a clue)

The Koran is hate literature, cover to cover.   It violates  every concept of life and let live.  It is evil on velum.


The number of shootings and stabbings I'm seeing reported is reminiscent of the '80s. Perhaps our meth/heroin epidemic has something to do with it.

I also have to wonder if the decision of our DA to not prosecute drug crimes is a contributing factor. I know that the riverfront would be a lot less of a mess if we could get the addicts and dealers out of there and into mandated treatment and sitting behind bars respectively. Who knows, maybe the neighborhoods that surround the river might stop having their mail stolen on a daily basis.


Looking forward to what @MbalulaFikile thinks of private citizens having more intelligence gathering than the Minister of Police.


What a shoddy piece of writing by someone with ADS (Alberta derangement syndrome). Would Mason consider taking the same tone while writing about say, the Ontario Liberals?


I think it is far more insidious than that.


Forget the win, find a way to stop making "stupid" mistakes and the wins will come. Penalties is a major concern.


Trudeau is highlighted by short-sighted symbolic puffery void of substance and a contempt for reality. Critical analysis and common sense are annoying distractions that get in the way of our visionary PM, who shouldn't be bothered with questions from parliamentarians about his government's policies. It's almost embarrassing, especially for Trudeau's base, to watch him in question period with an unearned sense of accomplishment and smug sense of entitlement to taxpayer dollars. The fact that the Liberal's biggest liability is unscripted thought clouds from their leader is precisely why they are trying to limit his exposure to opposition questions. Trudeau is a smug self-involved "progressive" who champions symbolism over substance, where virtue signalling is favored over objectivity and common sense.


Read all of Yonatan Zunger's response. It's brilliant. https://medium.com/@yonatanzunger/so-about-this-googlers-manifesto-1e3773ed1788


See above comment - perfect example.


People wanted to buy them partially based on their claims of being clean for the performance and mileage. That was a intentional lie and everyone is affected by the increased emissions, not just the car owner. I agree though that car owners should have their vehicles fixed or get some reimbursement for not getting what they paid for.

Thank you both for proving my point that democrats hate Alaska and Alaskans


I no longer contribute to UH athletics because of the poor management at the University. I can still remember the Sugar Bowl travel
fiasco where the University allowed " connected people " to fly free to New Orleans for the game. I remember that Senator Hirono and
her husband were on that flight but eventually paid the airfare after learning that the ethics commission would be investigating the trip.
I will not contribute money to the University of Hawaii when they continue to hire private law firms to represent them in cases where
the Attorney General's office could easily handle. They lack confidence in our government lawyers to handle termination cases. These
big time private lawyers usual fold and the people dismissed are paid off to go away. Shame on them !!!


I sincerely hope you're right and I hope that other countries are planning on circumnavigating the US and doing business with countries who aren't led by gangs of schoolyard bully-boys  ,


Trump can't find any top shelf lawyers to represent him...


So the positive news occurred mostly on the federal Liberal's watch.
The bad news started well back. Before 2015?
The LNG mess is due to low world prices as Petronas has consistently stated, just as the oil problem is.  We have no control over that, except not to build up hopes on just one resource industry.
But now cue the Conservatives who will blame everything, probably including earthquakes off the BC coast., on the Liberals. Or more likely just Trudeau. And they'll whine about his hair, at a guess.
As for regulation, I'm on the side of people and the environment over (some, not all) corporations. I'd like my grand-kids to be able to see beauty in our forests and mountains, and to breathe clean air.


Everyone should be careful when they hurl labels at people. And that includes when they label Muslims as "misogynist." Simplistically categorizing people is an attempt to diminish them and their views. It's dehumanizing.

The proposed motion is intended to heal public wounds. We should set aside our personal feelings, at least temporarily, and support it.


Just one bunker buster on their next large government meeting would solve nearly everything!


"Allegedly real"?  No one denied them....They were real enough.

And take your faux indignation somewhere else.  I never said what was done was somehow to be lauded or excused.  The fact is, they were hacked. And they were real. And they are NOT the reason Clinton lost the election, no matter how many times she tries to sell it...and all the other excuses.

And you may want to adjust your other excuse for her, too.  Yes.  Other SOS's rarely used private servers. But never for classified info, and never in defiance of publishrd protocols...like she did.

She won the extremely liberal large cities in NY and CA that gave her the popular vote. Thank God the founding fathers saw past that possibility.  Time for Clinton supporters to "compute" the fact - the election is over.  She lost.


It seems the authors (or ADN editor) left out some important context in this article.  China (yet not America, sigh) is a signatory of the UN Law of the Sea Convention.  As the article states, the treaty sets territorial waters at 12 nautical miles from shore.  However, the law also sets that "shores" do not include artificial islands made from uninhabited corral structures or lifeless "rocks."  It also extends that possession 200nm for exclusive economic usage.  China violates this part of international law as well by claiming the entire South China Sea including parts well beyond China's 212nm claim and well into various other nations like Vietnam and the Philippines.  IIRC China lost a case a few years back in regards to its claims.
Regardless of how legally empty its claims are it still calls on other nations to respect their claims with threats of "You are causing an international incident."  The US rightly enjoys free navigation through most of the South China Sea.


Geezerly - we don't need the oil industry that pays 87% of your state expense.  We can just all head for the woods and eat wild berries and squirrels


Instead of judging whether the form of their response is acceptable, let us judge the substance of their response. The Bishops called for a special prayer at Sunday Mass regarding the terrible acts in Charlottesville. They've now formed an ad hoc committee about racism. They Bishops are definitely not perfect and there have been other instances where committees were established without real results. My Cardinal has stood with local refugees and stood up to president Trump on matters where his actions are unacceptable. Could they have done more? Sure. But let's not condemn this just yet.


<It doesn't say an unlimited right.>
Neither does the Affordable Care Act.

<It doesn't say "high quality, affordable, universally accessible".>
That was Donald Trump.

<It doesn't say that the federal government must provide it.>
Catholic teaching (cited in my post to Kevin) identifies access to basic health care as a human right. Governments are organized precisely to protect and advance human rights.

<It doesn't say anything that Obamacare brought.>
The ACA doesn't go far enough, but it was a good-faith beginning.

In your effort to promote policies rooted in the atheistic materialism if Any Rand (which has been the driving force in Republican/conservative economic and social policy for at least a quarter of a century), you are misrepresenting Catholic teaching and distorting the intention, purpose and effect of the ACA.


Over the past two years, France has fallen victim to a series of major Islamist terror attacks, including the Charlie Hebdo mass shooting in January 2015 in which 17 people were killed, the Paris attacks in November 2015, in which 130 were killed in coordinated attacks across the city, and the Bastille Day attack in Nice, in which 86 were killed when a lorry was driven into celebrating crowds.


The "Jones Act" shipping cartel will fix that "low cost" temporary loophole ;-) LOL


Finally a great and hard hitting article by Miss Wente.
What's driving the inequality?

I disagree with her quote from Ms Freelands book....”One set of causes is political, she explains – lower taxes, deregulation, privatization. Many of these political factors can be broadly lumped under the category "crony capitalism”
Someone should apprise me if I’m wrong but we have yet to see lower taxes and deregulation here in Canada.

More appropriately , free trade has hollowed out our middle class, reduced our wage growth and turned our economy into hewers Of wood and providers of  low paying service jobs.

And it’s getting worse under this bumbling and corrupt Govt  Which increasing taxes, adding regulations like carbon taxes that make us less competitive and removing/ capping incentives like the TFSA permit our millenials to put away a bit of cash for a rainy day.

Minimum wages both here in Canada and the US have yet to exceed what they were 45 years ago.

That’s why..


How can anyone rationally draw equivalence between Watergate, Iran Contra, and Bill Clinton sexually harassing Monica Lewinsky - all events that had clear black+white evidence of malfeasance, against this so-called Russian "scandal"?

So far no real evidence has been presented, except hand waving and innuendo. Does the opposition and media think the public is so infantile to not be able to handle evidence? Why is anyone holding back any meaningful evidence?

And in the absence of evidence, what are we left with? Surely the definition of 'Fake News' is quiet fitting no?


Yeah, hitlery's great. Too bad she's an unqualified, lying pos.


You will have to guess at that one, want you.


I have no sympathy for drunks. One ran into me years ago as I was driving; he had no insurance, fourth dui, no license.


They were being treated humanely in the US. The only reason they're leaving is because they might not like the outcome of their refugee status. Too bad.


Yeah, teachers and unions are so greedy!  It's not like we live in an unprecedented era of wealth inequality, corporate corruption and corporate dismantling of the government or anything!


For those who are celebrating in your most recent "Triumphant" victory, I would encourage all of you to shop at your local markets for Thanksgiving or to put gifts under the tree at Xmas.If you truly support bringing jobs back to the USA,  you should NEVER step foot in another Walmart, but will you? Think about it.


"said Hummel, whose county’s natural beauty belies a reputation for misdeeds by its own lawmen".
What? AP wrote this? No wonder. Didn't the Oregon State Police current place kicker, Lt Edwards, move to Bend with a promotion after assaulting a motorist and losing in court? Maybe the "county's natural beauty" will help Edwards change his new reputation.


Why should I feel shame for something done by someone else 6,7 or even 12 decades ago?
Should I bare responsibility for Custer and the Americans attempt to wipe out the North American Indians because I happen to be white?


There is nothing to this at all-no breach of rules or ethics, its just smears and innuendo. The Globe seems to be specializing in this kind of writing lately. It similar to the far right blog spots that tipped the American election-you can write anything and if it panders a target  audience who dont check to see what it actually  says as long as it aligns with their biases.

The Globe and Mail more and more resembles those blogs and less and less a paper with the rigor one would expect -lets just say its not going to give the NYTimes a run for its money any time soon.

I am surprised Robert Fife  lends his name to this sort "reporting".


The Liberals recently introduced a motion to Parliament which has as it's objective to make it criminal to think bad thoughts about muslims. In other words, a blasphemy law.

You can be sure that Trudeau will prey on people's emotions to force this bill into law without anyone noticing.


More biased coverage from G&M - The WH immediately stated over a week ago that the National Guard wouldn't be used in the enforcement of illegal immigration laws, after initially being reported as so by AP... & then repeated as a 'new truth' by the likes of CNN & G&M etc. - It's a fine example of #fakenews.  There was no contradiction, but nice try.


RRD. You have no idea what you are talking about. The march was peaceful, respectful and fun....clearly you weren't there, and your relationship with the truth is as tenuous as Trump and his buddies.


No-I care.

Those uncaring make this political human beings  might want to look in the mirror and ask themselves why they do not care about the victims, the injured and only politics.

Because instead of words of comfort and sorrow, they verbally attack using the word "Trump", which is no sign of caring about the victims, the people, themselves.

Disgusting
Disgusting
Disgusting

Beyond disgusting. May God save us all.


It is all accurate.
And why should I assume that your reply is applicable to your last-but-one comment?
If you really still believe that I am making 'ad hominem' comments, and 'slandering' you, then you should contact 'CC'. They'll explain these words to you, as I find that I cannot.


This is the mantra of those who support the globalized economy...."yes, maybe we lost millions of those production jobs in the "nuts and bolts" manufacturing industry, but, by golly, we've got Microsoft!"  The problem is, of course, that the math doesn't work.

"High value services"....nice phrase...However, as I'm guessing you know, with the internet communications available, engineers, etc can be located anywhere.  For years American companies have been outsourcing engineering to India, China and other nations where the labor cost is cheaper.  The same, of course, is true of "high end" tech. manufacturing. Here's a little news clip which might interest you. "Microsoft is aligning Nokia's operations in markets where Windows Phone is successful. Lower costs in Vietnam relative to China are also a nice incentive to move manufacturing. Brazil and Mexico sites also get a bump. "

With the globalized market for labor, we are at a huge disadvantage......Gary Crum

Cole has been dead on correct in his analysis of the state legislator's cowardice and denial. I did not vote for Gov. Walker but I have to admit that he has been the only person in the process to show courage and leadership.  Both Republicans and Democrats have had a part in this disgrace, but the GOP runs the show and owns this failure to deal honestly with the people who sent them there.


"bavius" told him that "reading is overrated."


That view does not hold water, BC is not it's own country and will be subject to federal law... you are not above it so you might just check the snooty attitude at the door.

Of course it does.  And you know it.

It tells you whether or not the individual knows something on or about technical or esoteric issues.

It's also why I rarely or never comment on Hawaiian sovereignty, homelessness, fishery management issues as I have no expertise or knowledge in these areas.


I don't care if you live under a rock, everyone knows smoking is bad for you. And no one wants anyone to tell them they can't smoke. As far as light cigarettes go you just figure they won't kill you as fast. I mean I got friends that catch a buzz on non alcoholic beer. It has a small percentage but everyone wants to hear some thing bad is ok. These lawsuits should never happen, you smoke long enough, you will die from them. Period. Will these same people like the government to tell them they can't smoke and fine them if they do? No.


He can't be allowed to make ridiculous statements. His popularity is 20%. The economy is collapsing. Corruption is blatant. Investors are leaving. Unemployment at records levels and protests daily. Nothing works under this Gupta Government.

I've worked in and around Bethel and other parts of the Bush since 1970. It's was wet back then, and a disaster except for the owners of the Kuskokwim Inn and  bootleggers.
 If the City Council really felt they needed a liquor store for revenue, I have suggested for almost 2 years that they set it up as a club membership buying system – similar  to the idea of a  Costco Club membership – but with uniquely Bethel membership rules to control inevitable problems. My suggestions?
* no membership to anyone convicted of any alcohol related crime in the past year
*   No membership for anyone arrested within the past year for any alcohol related crime.
*  Tight monthly limits on quantities members are allowed to buy, to prevent or reduce the purchasing for nonmembers.
*  Immediate loss of club membership for buying or distributing full containers to nonmembers or to any minors.
* Member fees to cover semiannual arrest checks on members.
* No sales to anyone with kids in foster care.


oh forgot BLM is also a corrupt organization.


It is not "YOC" but nice try.

this satire is not even funny.  get serious, you may think rail is a joke but for the thousands of westsiders who must endure the painful traffic congestion daily and people without affordable housing it is not.


And what job would a small business hire a humanities or liberal arts grad to do?

Most people with humanities and liberal arts degrees end up working in government jobs. And look at the sorry state of governments today, in debt to the point of bankruptcy, excessive regulation that costs society billions and hinders human progress.

Humanities and liberal arts degrees are fine as secondary degrees to compliment serious useful degrees like enginering.

Besides most people gain what these degrees provide just through experience.


At least one branch of the government is still functioning normally, with great dignity.

Stephen J. Remington


Here's an idea: why don't Canada's First Nations and Indigenous people pool their resources and build their own schools?  Then they could hire their own teachers, teach in their preferred language, and implement whatever curriculum they deem appropriate.


"... and they are building at-grade rail, at a very high cost ..."
If you think it's expensive now, imagine how much an elevated version would be.


Trump, unlike Obama, is asking Congress to do its job.

Obama did the Paris Accords without Congress.

Obama did the Iran 'deal' without Congressional approval.

I believe that Congress should take responsibility for treaties and wars.

Apparently you think President Trump should ignore Congress like Obama did?

Are you sure you want to go there?


Thanks again Dan.


I have a question for the senators.  What line has to be crossed by president Trump that would lose him your support?


Trump’s lies go well beyond the falsehoods of mundane political spin - They’re off in the never-never land of highjacked reality - Reminds me of the famous Marx Brothers quote (Chico?): "Who ya gonna believe, me or your own (lying) eyes?"


You apparently selectively ignored Mr. Legge pointing out that President Obama inherited the worst fiscal mess since the Great Depression Mr. wop. Getting the car out of the ditch and back on the road while the GOP leaders swore an oath to obstruct everything the President proposed made a very difficult task even worse. It has been estimated that 40% of the debt load is directly attributable to Bush Jr.'s two tax cuts that went primarily to the uber wealthy, the unpaid for and illegal invasion of Iraq, the unpaid for Medicare Part D and the collapsed economy that saw 600,000 people losing their jobs each and every month is responsible for the vast bulk of your selective right wing talking point Mr. wop. Please do try to be more open minded and level headed in your criticism or it loses all credibility.


The governments job is to properly manage the economy.
We need a balanced budget. It took many years for Canada to balance the budget after Pierres spending spree. Now look at Junior.


This was censored?!

Glad I was able to rebut before it disappeared...much more satisfying.


I really do not care for AD's civil comment policy.  There is only a very small margin that I myself would call uncivil.  That would be a threat of violence or some horrible foul language.  And really that's your job to control.  I will not take part in your speech police policy, as I believe it is censorship.  I will like every comment


OMG with the amount of stuff coming at the Pres. 24/7 it is a wonder he does not forget to put his shoes on.  Who are these idiots who keep trashing these inane ideas that Trump had forgotten to do something...he was talking to people when Pence reminded him what still had to be done (and that is what Pences job is for God's sake!).  These idiot Newsies haven't got enough to do but to keep printing their garbage and stoking the fires!  How they are loathed in, and around, the U S A!!!


I would have liked to hear some analysis of the Indian government imposing new requirements for companies importing pulses re: pesticide, herbicides. Will greatly impact Canadian producers such as AGT. Own shares but this is a nagging issue.


Here's the actual song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIwr261Sfsw


I appreciate that Trump is honest that the attempt at cooperation has not worked out (so far). If China cannot by diplomacy get the job done, other means will have to be used ... and will be. Xi is free to jump in anytime he sees a gap he can fill, but, one way or another, the job HAS to get done and Trump is the man to follow it through.


Well said and on point. When Trump began making huge gains during his campaign with all of his bluster and his alternative facts based rhetoric I said he had found the heart of real America. Sad but true.


You are the one whose premise stated "I believe..", not me  so in accepting my definition you also accept that you are deluded.
I am happy to see you abandoning this discussion. I really don't like to argue with someone who hides behind a pseudonym.


What a rush to pilot a flying computer.  Actually several of them all hooked together.  Just hope the power doesn't go out.


You obviously don't understand this situation very well.  I would agree that her passing up other employment is a stretch, however, there is merit to these lawsuits.  They (SB Nation) were exploiting their workforce.  Maybe read the Deadspin piece before making comments like this?


How, exactly, did the police "bully" their way in?  Did they threaten to withdraw security if they weren't invited?  No.  Did they threaten to arrest patrons if they were not invited? No. Exactly what coercive measures did the Toronto Police take to "bully" their way into the parade?

Your terminology is both inaccurate and misleading.  I suggest you modify it.


"The leading purveyor of uselessness was, of course, U.S. President Donald Trump. When compassion and solidarity should have been his priorities, he instead used lies to falsely accuse the mayor of London, who is Muslim, of being soft on Islamic extremism. And he seized on the killings to push pet agendas."

Trump is a huge problem, but let's not pretend this is not typical of the alt-right generally, including our own Reform Hater chickenhawks.  These are the people we must also stand on guard against because they threaten who we are from their own outrageous perspectives.


For those of us here for football, and not to whine about some phrase, yeah, it's fake news.

The Broncos have 2 QBS that they believed enough in for Romo to retire. Add to that, they picked up Kelly last pick of seventh round. Kelly was seen, before injury and other silliness as a 2nd or 3rd round pick. McCarron was drafted in the 5th. It's actually cheaper to carry Siemian and Kelly (Lynch's contract is peanuts) both then to pay McCarron who is a RFA in 2018, Elway is about value and finances, he has 3 QBs he already likes, and Kelly will get reps next year. So, from a football perspective, yeah, it's fake news just to get McCarrons name out there for Lewis' last stand, bang up job with the smoke by the agent because everyone knows Vance coached in Cincinnati.

For those here whining because Elway used a phrase that's used by everyone these days, grow up already.


Gee, I wonder how you get the oil and gas for your transportation!!,,, mule train??


rallying people to kill cats makes you one. but then i think you enjoy just baiting people with your drivel. maybe you need to go home.


Atheism and Communism are probably very GOOD for you!!  No objection from me!!  Go for it!!  Do whatever you want!!!!!!!!      Yay!!!!!!!


I gave you a Funny for that, Kid.

I have a sense of humour....
One thing I don't have is a Liberal card. I've been voting for almost half a century in four provinces... never voted Liberal and doubt I ever will.


Coghill is planning a radio ad to explain his position — that using the Permanent Fund's earnings is reasonable, as long as lawmakers keep pursuing budget cuts at their current pace. But, he added: "I honestly don't know how people will accept that."
He is glad to keep the conversation about SB91, and his voting for cutting the dividend just like the governor did and using "a part of" the permanent fund for government.
When is Coghill going to defend his vote in support of SB21 and the oil tax giveaway that promised a million barrels a day"?
His only excuse will be "nobody saw this oil price crash coming".   That`s no defense of a failure to protect the state`s "downside" which had been brought up by the minorities in both houses.  Just like Coghill`s failure to even allow a vote to act to cancel the governor`s actions he took on behalf of the state`s evident severely weakened fiscal health, in large part due to SB21 and all that "tax free" "new" oil and gas..


Since President Trump was elected in November, Oliver has lost all relevance as an entertainer.  These are his death throes.  Conservatism is the new counter-culture.


In 2020 I intend to vote for him twice.


How dare the ADN solicit opinions from people who disagree with you!


Funny, funny and hilarious. Konrad forgot to write about 2042's elderly PM, Justin Trudeau who was hobbling around in a walker. Back in 2017, The elderly twice divorced PM had admired his close family friend 'el commandante' Castro of Cuba so much and respected brutal military dictatorships like Cuba and China that he declared himself Canada's leader for life. Canadians,  being too timid and terrified to stand up for themselves for fear of offending the progressives and globalists accepted it. Canadians couldn't care less as they were too busy being forced to pay ever increasing huge mortgages. You see in 2017, El Comandante Trudeau , had such love for the brutal military dictatorship of China that he allowed unlimited free trade and unlimited residency to the wealthy of China. Canadians were forced to compete for shelter with the 50 million wealthy who eventually took advantage of it. The elderly PM lived full time in the Bahamas in the same mansion he bought in 2017 on his vacations


Canadian soldier sets new world record with a successful sniper shot at 2.1 miles. Proud Canadian army considers authorizing purchase of a second gun in celebration


One of the first thing want to be dictators do is get rid of a free press.


Accused is hardly what I would classify as a "gun owner". Article doesn't say he was on probation for a felony, but a quick check of courtview shows that he was a convicted felon. It is illegal for a convicted felon to possess a firearm, and there are severe federal penalties (rarely enforced) for felons possessing firearms. If these penalties were enforced, felons who are caught with guns would be locked away for a long time, not back on the streets committing more crimes.


That is what the leftist agitators always do and unsurprisingly you always support them.  What a surprise.


You are in error.... yet again.


It appears I spelled agnostic wrong my mistake wil be more careful next time.


So you don't think that school children should be protected from harm?


Back in the days of DC8 at Montreal International Airport known locally as Dorval, Air Canada tried to remove me from a flight to London LHR. I refused to deplane and they got the RCMP who informed me that I had to get off. I stopped at the cockpit door and advised the captain that I had booked and paid for mt seat seven months earlier, I then advised the captain that I wanted my checked bags and informed the RCMP officer that if the aircraft was moved with my bags on board the captain and co-pilot were to be charged with theft and I then stepped off the aircraft. It took about 10 seconds for an apology to be issued and I was offered a seat in first class . I have not flown on Air Canada since and will never fly with them again.


Like I said you can't grasp it. We have to put up with intolerant people here because  they were born here. Is it that hard of a concept. We do not let in those who are intolerant and give them Canadian rights. Your kids will have zero tolerance until your kids grow up and start living in the real world, start paying exhorbitant taxes, exhorbitant prices for homes, food, water, bills, etc. Doesn't mean they'll be racist. Just means they'll learn about debts and how we cannot afford to help every poor soul. It is a numbers game and if you haven't noticed our number is at a trillion and Liberals have been projected at an added 1.5 trillion of debt.  Wake your dumb a$$ up. I studied the charter in school way back when and knew it was for CANADIANS not immigrants.


Yes and look at who is the opposition. In reality, there is little any President can do -takes Congress.

That included our previous President-he found his hands tied at just about every turn.

Bill Clinton pulled together about everyone. Admirable, successful. But the successes  (and failures) are ours, not the lawmakers. I wanted Obama to do well, Not because he was my pick (he wasn't) but because his success was actually factually ours. Ditto for any failures...

Any gain made is a gain for Americans. We need to focus on that in my opinion.


My friend and business man, Joseph, has his facts correct. However, he assumes that the "conservatives" will acknowledge that most of the examples of "socialsim" in the USA are really needed. Except for those public works that benefit big business, including the big pot called the Pentagon, the true conservatives could care less about and would abolish public parks, prisons and, NPR and PBS, the CDC, USDA, FEMA, public transit and even street lights? They do not believe in sharing expenses and even less in sharing benefits.
John G. Cox.


I guess the drunken Dizzy Lizzie had it right. Quite a visionary.


Have someone read you the article.


How does the rich get rich taking money from the poor? Where did the poor or common folk get all that money in the first place? This logic is the same as the Republican want to dirty the air and poison the water. What air are these Republican going to breath? And what water are they going to drink. Actually it would be better for the left to encourage Republicans to dirty the air and poison the water, could mean less Republicans.


You got it, what is the consequence to EWEB users!    Good company's focus on satisfying their customers. (product, service, price are all related)


Liberals blame conservatives for everything.  All the past 8 years of Obama's nightmare keep being blamed on Bush.  So why not blame liberal policies for creating an entitlement culture, for taking away parental rights, for fostering more racial divide?


Indeed, the poorly educated rule!


Awesome.  I hope your vision comes true!


Actually, the folks  I have known  , the recruiting US hospital will gladly buy the airline ticket.
