Texas has the best liquor stores ever.  Specs.  Huge, and you an actually see the bottles close up with your eyes in the aisles.  I suggest state stores should go away.


73% of those estimated uninsured because they opted out. But CBO hid that fact in their report and DP, with its agenda, completely ignores it.


Time to sing Tom Petty's song, "Free Falling".  For now. Rockies still end up with a winning season. They need 35 wins to reach that plateau out of their remaining 83 games.


McLeod, you are seriously in need of therapy. Another day and the same gibberish. Everyone here knows you have a screw loose.


You didn't read the studies did you? Of course not. Clearly, the only thing that matters to you is satisfying your bloodlust.  Ignorance is bliss, but stupid is just sad.


We don't need an infrastructure bank funded by international investors, we need our central bank to return to its original purposes. From its original founding up until the early 1970s, the Central Bank of Canada funded infrastructure projects throughout the nation at no interest. This wasn't very helpful during the high inflation of the 1970s so it was stopped, but now that inflation is low it could very easily return. Restrict central bank lending of this sort to when core inflation is below 2% and we could get some important projects done!


Government incompetence plagues mankind for centuries.
Ontario's medical system has been leaderless for more than a decade.

Yet, the voters know how to deal with under performers - they re-elect them.


Oh the poor broken woman! She was underappreciated by her supervisors who had the nerve to expect her to handle tens of millions of dollars without taking some for herself. Oh, woe is her!


Obviously the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has been over-funded if they believe that this is the best use of taxpayer funds.  For me, this reads like a call to reduce funding and to rewrite the Service’s mission statement.


I took a wild guess and said it was going to be Samoan criminals. Lucky guess?


Lot of whining and complaining......get a job....pay your fair share.....simple.   Thanks ML&P for keeping the lights on.


You conveniently don't mention your cohorts who call for extermination of Jews and Blacks. With guys like IQ006, IQ22, and the rest in your corner, well, I wouldn't call you  loathsome or deplorable like them but I think " imbecile" has some merit for your selectivity.


Yes, this episode turned into a debacle as the Liberals caved to the well-organized whining of the business class.  But in the Liberals' defense, I will point out that they at least tried to do the right thing in the first instance.  The Cons by contrast rush to embrace bad policy right out of the gate.


O'Leary is the only one who can win


Except for this ...DOH!

Ray  Fujino is acting like a child, my way or no way !! Who's his Boss they should Fire Fujino for not accepting Change..........


no you should be ashamed of yourself to support someone hiding hate under the moniker of "small business". I fully appreciate Lizzy's reporting because of people like you who are dismissive of hate that doesn't affect you. I find it amusing that you mentioned the reference to American Renaissance (why should Sally agree to an interview from a white supremacist rag if she didn't want their publicity?). So, please stop telling Lizzy to not do her job and ask your friends at the Colonial place to stop being racist.


Does the city say--why dont "they"   ride the transit system ??---Some--mabe-cant even afford that !!


until we rely on natural gas more,..and the earnings of the corpus, and an income and sales tax.  Time for subsidies to end.
Alaskans could have made more investing that subsidy money in the stock market.
Welcome to the real world of SB21.


As a current employee, I must say part of this is incorrect.  “Their numbers go up and down depending on how many contracts they have running.”--- there has only been one client, and two different levels of service for this client since "Sykes" started in that particular building a little over four years ago....You make it sound like they constantly lose clients...get your facts before you assume something.


This guy is the definition of a loser.  Fired from his job.  Three bankruptcies.  Smokes and has a disgusting diet.  Rides around Walmart in a scooter, even though he appears to only be in his 60's.  Lives a completely paranoid life, surrounded by cameras and toting firepower everywhere he goes.  Sounds like he has mental health issues.

And then there's the tee-shirt.


The author is correct. Canada is too busy tying itself into endless review pretzels. And any approval can now get tossed out any time when there is a change of government.

Industries need certainty to invest, and can't have the rug pulled out by changing politicians (like Trudeau with Northern Gateway, and the NDP/ Greens attempt with KMX).  Approval must mean approval, at least on the government side (court challenges can of course happen). Just like no approval means no approval.  Better yet, have a totally independent reviewer at arms length from the politicians.

The American oil industry and environmental groups must just love it that we can never get our sh#t together. I'm sure we are a laughing stock to countries like the US and Australia, who seem to get projects approved relatively quickly (as is evidenced by their many LNG plants, where we can't manage even one).


What the report says really doesn’t mean anything.  Many in Eugene and a lot who post here have no respect for the Eugene Police.  It’s too bad.


Is he getting his name on a building? A building wasn't mentioned. It is kind of strange to criticize his motives while totally guessing on his motives! Makes it easy to be negative I suppose if you just make things up.


Acting as unregistered foreign agents and money laundering.

Federal grand juries don't typically issue indictments for parking tickets.


This is a problem in every legal state and it won't go away by making more draconian laws or pretending that it's not a problem because it's already against the law to smoke in public. The fine in Nevada for instance is $600 and there has been widespread public use there already despite the threat of a heavy fine. In most states people can walk into one of a hundred different places at 10am and get sloshed on liquor to the point that they are a threat to public safety but smoking in public is treated as a worse public threat then that, its all just so absurd.


The Saudis and their allies quickly sized-up Trump's simple-minded failings.  Where he looks for 'one bad-guy' to blame for all that's wrong.  Even though they fund terrorism themselves (actually funded 9/11), they threw the smallest nation, Qatar, under the bus to give Trump a nation to hate and blame.  AND they hope to take-over Qatar's wealth in oil and gas.  Its all about money.


Please.
It’s been clear from the word go that taking an axe to Medicaid was a key point of 'budget reconcilliation' TrumpCare, indeed, an inevitable end point given the Republican and Trump budgetary priorities.

These are beyond ending Medicaid expansion.

They’re the starvation diet Republicans put Medicaid on after kicking everyone off their coverage kicks in.

Are you cheering the loss of your healthcare options?


Sounding very much like someone who has never played goaltender in a Beer League, sport.

Guessing from your comment that you have also never once played hockey or are the dreaded "red helmet guy" whom just about every Beer League goaltender loathes, goatie.


We are the government. Until that changes.


It was worse for the gen Xers in the 90s than for the kids today - by FAR.  Just look at the unemployment stats.


..refute your claim.


Never heard about the subtractive theory.
I was taught white reflects all colors and black absorbs all colors.


Canadians have elected a fool to lead the country, hopefully they will come to their senses before the next election.


How ironic that Mr Kilpatrick ended his letter by invoking Darwin and Einstein --  each of whom upended the world of "known" truth in his time.

To those of us who have researched the full range of modern studies of the systemic administration of fluoride, its stern and admonitory "respect the past" boosters seem very much like the reactionaries who still reject Darwin's work.

No one questions the efficacy of topical fluoride application  --  except, oddly, the enthusiasts for mass systemic fluoride ingestion, who dismiss it as irrelevant.  The World Health Organization has recently determined that water fluoridation is unnecessary in industrialized nations where fluoridated toothpaste is used regularly, but that science is not popular with fluoridation boosters.

Of course, topical fluoride is typically pharmaceutical-grade, and thus is of no use to the industries which currently enjoy the profit they make by selling their hazardous waste product to municipal water systems.


I know.


Plus, as an added bonus, it relieves you, and people who believe like you, of any responsibility. If global warming is God's punishment for an evil Supreme Court decision, then "good Christians" don't have to do a thing except wait for God's giant vacuum cleaner to Rapture them into the clouds.
No need to be more energy-efficient or advocate for alternative fuels. That would defeat God's plan.


hats off to those that intervened. if he is placed on a 'no fly' he'll have a long way to paddle.


Your drugstore experience is an awfully limited sample.  If you researched some statistics demonstrating that the male skin care market is a comparable size to the female skin care market, I'd find your comments more worthy of consideration


Mr. Lewis is entitled to his opinion of course, but a 16 term congressman? It wouldn't matter if he was MLK himself, he's past his due date as a politician.


This is great news. The city of Eugene and Lane County can now buy the building for $21 million and one cent, relocate their combined government offices there, take full advantage of the new West 11th EmX line by having LTD run a shuttle route from the Walmart turnaround point to Willow Creek Road every 10 minutes and then . . . drum roll, please . . . open the nation's largest homeless shelter and one-stop-shopping, relocation-assistance facility in the remaining 1 million square feet of space.

Imagine the ancillary business growth that will sprout in that area to support such an enterprise. The county seat will move closer to its geographic center, pleasing our coastal neighbors. And the joy of city councilors, county commissioners and the no-longer chronically homeless sharing not only our state-of-the-art people mover (for free, of course) but a common roof over their heads is almost too wonderful to comprehend.

Just do this. Solve those problems. Write that check.


He should be mulling over where he is going to work next year. He is awful.


It is the liberals coming up with these posts...
 I agree and I am sorry. They are sooooo embarrassing to be associated with.


Donald J. Trump is the finest president of our generation. I'm looking forward to his next seven and a  half years of exemplary leadership.


The best way to learn how to drive a motor cycle is to stay OFF one on public streets.....you may as well play Russian Roulette.


Oh, just phone it in.
Brilliant!


Waaaa.  I want a do-over.


Obama's not the president.


The thing is, everyone has to breathe. While smokers are enjoying whatever they're smoking, who should yield the right of way? Should I walk around the clouds of smoke? Are you willing to smoke away from foot traffic? I don't smoke. I don't want to breathe it, I don't want the smell of it lingering on my clothes. I don't smoke pot, either, but boy, I find myself seeking the reeking when I detect it.


sign me up dude


The politicians like Junior are just as much to blame!


This chick clearly is lying and wants revenge for making a stupid decision. Gtfo


How fortunate for us to have so many defenders of virtue at this late hour of the Republic. If only they'd had more interest in rooting out corruption during prior decades... You know, before a it became about a WOMAN.


You're wrong, of course.  You don't understand the law or the SCOTUS decisions that have already been handed down on this subject.  Ms. Maddow is fully protected.  The statement from the White House that publishing the tax return was illegal is a lie.  Nothing new with Trump lying!


We clearly know a different cohort of priests...


Why is it that only "social conservatives" seem to view education as "intrusive"?  According to your logic, Andree, we shouldn't have a problem; Alaska's a conservative state, parents are perfectly free to teach this stuff to their kids, but it's not happening.  Why not?  Could it be that many feel their paint-by-numbers ideology already handles it?  THAT'S the real fairy-tale...


Thing is, they don't make "those sports cars" anymore. The closest they came in recent history is limited edition 911 R. Cayman is now comes with a 4 cylinder engine. They are now faking engine noises in all cars they make. They switched to electric steering.

So no, they are not just making these minivans on a side to make money. They also turned 911s into boulevard cruisers. No wonder old 911s now fetch as much as brand new ones. Only suburban moms buying what they are making these days.


Irrespective of what we call it, I'm really happy for Mr. Stober finding success in keeping true to his vision for his company and lifestyle brand.  The Drake vibe isn't my thing but he knows who he's targeting without trying to be everything to everyone like the big guys, having a brand for every feeling, emotion and budget it seems these days.


There's the post of the day, folks.

This past election should be known as the election of false equivalence.  Yes Bernie would have been better than Hillary, but Hillary would have been WAY better than this chaotic kleptocracy.


Our repeated impass is your--and it is YOUR--inability to acknowledge that someone who doesn't uncritically accept your dogmas can nonetheless be reconciled with their Creator.

ALL salvation by any name and in any language you choose is ENTIRELY the product of Rah'matullah--God's Mercy.  None attain it for themselves.  The 'good works' you dogmatically attempt to exclude from the salvation-equation constitute expression of GRATITUDE for God's Mercy.  And yes, it's expected. God dislikes ingratitude.  He expects us to express it by obeying His Laws and seeking to do what pleases Him.

You should know better than to trot out that tired 'salvation by good works' accusation. Both it and its corresponding 'faith-not-works' fallacy courtesy of the Impostor Paul is refuted in your own scripture by the Disciple James (rah'matullahi alayhi):

"Know ye not, O foolish man--faith without works is DEAD?" (James 2:20)

I've asked you before, and you've never answered, can DEAD faith save you?


Call it what it is, SOCIALIST PARTY.  If Idiots can't look at Venezuela and see where Socialism  leads them then they are too ignorant to be American.
 Put your hands in your pockets instead of holding them out for the Gov. to fill with goodies for your vote.


I'll tell you why you see cyclists using the road instead of the perfectly good paths. Often times the paths are not maintained, meaning there are frost heaves and cracks. They are also the last parts of the road to be plowed or swept. And here's a little secret, sharp little rocks and high pressure tires do not mix. Just slow down and move over. A couple seconds out of your day is not going to kill you...but it may save a cyclists that has as much right to be on the road as you do.


I have never been a fan of his designs. Way to many  gobelty gook holes that make no sense to the eye or the playing there of. Almost non playable sometimes. His bunkering is particularly in consistent, overly non dramatic, and poorly placed. His greens can sometimes wander off scale in accordance with the particular hole. Bandon Dunes is that example.


Xi Jinping has a reputation (well-earned, mind you) for using "anti-corruption" to justify his purge of people who he deems disloyal to him.
He also snatched a few foreign nationals from Malaysia, Sweden, and Hong Kong (the booksellers come to mind) for personal reasons.

I'm SUUUUURE he'll be a fair and impartial source.


"Which proves the point that Adventists don't really know God"

Huh?  You cannot "prove" this generalization from anecdotal evidence.  Anecdotal evidence might "prove" the Existence of some Adventists who do not "really know God".  But the broader assertion regarding Non-existence of any Adventists who "really know God", simply does not follow.

I submit that it is not for us to judge who does or does not "really know God".  Arguably no human today can claim to "really know God" (see Matthew 11:27).


The citizens of Anchorage voted to make spenard 3 lanes.


Love that Ms McKenna sees massive unemployment and capital fleeing the country as "enormous opportunities".


I find your constant preoccupation with sex and your descriptive language of various sex acts and anatomy disturbing and superfluous.


ouch.


Oh, come on, you must be an old lib hippie!  Normal American Ophobic?


Ah, the typical intolerance of liberalism, so sad.
Bishop Serretelli of Paterson NJ whom the Pope has just appointed to the CDW is a member of both ICEL (Chairman) and Vox Clara and I understand from listening to a recording of a speech of his, warmly welcomed the new translation.


spoken like a true Rethuglican.


Thanks.   Maybe we will, but we might also go the civilian way also.   You are also proving a point of mine because the same thing has happened to presidents.  That is why I chuckle at the thought of impeaching Trump.   It is hard to get 2/3rd of the Senate.   It might be different with Hillary,   I suspect even some of the Democrats are mad at her because of the the dirty tricks she pulled during the election.


No he isn't a Status Indian. And your comment about "dodging" taxes is ignorant. Do you understand anything about Treaty Rights?


It is ridiculous for Jenkins to get self-righteous about the present situation. He has spent decades cheerleading for the people and policies that have put Alaskans, as he says, "up to our ears in a fiscal mess of epic proportions."


I would take this even further, actually. In principle, the government (at whatever level) is an aspect of the citizenry (of the people, and all that). The very idea that the government is an entity that is distinct from and can be opposed to the citizenry is a sign that things have gone awry.

But I've drifted away from reality and into idealism here.


Indians don't have monuments to glorify the evils of slavery. But Southern whites do. What good comes out of glorifying evil acts.


Does she know she can't just "stay in Canada"? Or Costa Rica for that matter.She should be looking at immigrating and acquiring a citizenship elsewhere before renouncing her U.S. citizenship. Otherwise, welcome to the state of being stateless.

Anyway, most of those renouncing U.S. citizenship are probably Canadians who are trying to escape U.S. taxes, not Americans trying to escape Trump.


According to an analysis by Carnegie Mellon University, Trump's vocabulary is below that of a 6th grader.


Sessions begins the rise of the Old South Plantation system to fulfill his lifelong White Supremacist ideology.  Violating his Constitutional oaths on a daily basis for his entire lifetime as a lead agent for the Aryan nation of fascist racists and bigots infesting the entire legal system from the Supreme Court on down.  All courtesy of the Republican administrations packing the Court, federal and state courts  with these self-confessed traitors to human rights and freedom under the law.  Time for a Revolution.


You would lose that bet. What will happen if ICE keeps up this reckless and lethal behavior on our streets is that crime will go up, criminals will gain the upper hand and we will all be in more danger. What happens, you see, is witnesses to and victims of crime will stop coming forward, fail to show up to testify against criminals and fail to cooperate with police for fear of deportation. Criminals will walk free or never be caught. It will go deeper into the shadows and make local police work much harder. You will be in more danger.


What "other side"? Seriously? An underage kid was being chased by two men, obviously older and larger than he. No scenario justifies that!


valuable low income housing but very old


Wynne completely avoided the issue. The issue is the rights to water access belongs to the citizens and frankly the government of Ontario does not have the moral right to issue permits to multi national corporations for property belonging to it's citizens. The only reason they "listened" to citizens was to appease them, then stall, then come out with this increase. When your children will not be able to find clean water, remember this act of selling your rights as citizens to someone else.


Mandatory reading should be all the bankrupt U.S. counties and towns after 'Big Coal' left leaving billions in cleanup costs. Alberta will be no different, and the rest of Canada will pay the tab for these Neanderthals!


It's as simple as if you don't want to go, don't go.


No, you don't "got it." We've been deciding such things for centuries. But the fundamental principle of jus soli cannot be violated. It would be completely unAmerican to do that.


I imagine that people who eat a lot of  flavonol  rich food eat  less unhealthier food because they are already filled up somewhat. This alone could explain the lower body fat percentage.


First step... know the law.

Our laws are based on international conventions, treaties and agreements respecting refugees that we have passed into binding domestic law under the Immigration and REFUGEE PROTECTION Act (IRPA) and which are enforced by the courts.

The law permits Convention refugee claimants to enter Canada by whatever means necessary and make a claim for protection that must be adjudicated in accordance with the principles of "fundamental justice" (our version of due process) as set out in s. 7 of the Charter which applies to "everyone" physically in Canada (1985 SCOC Singh case).  And if the claim is successful Canada must offer protection.

In fact the IRPA at s. 133 exempts refugees from criminal charges and prosecutions in respect of illegal entry and requires that any such proceedings during the claim adjudication process.

The Safe Third Country agreement exploits a technical loophole in the Singh case as persons at POE's are not IN Canada and can be sent back.


As of March 31, 2016, of the 10,501 children in care of Manitoba Child and Family Services, 9,205 — or 88 per cent — were Inuit, Métis or First Nations and there are currently dozens of aboriginal agencies paid to protect aboriginal children in today's world.

Please enlighten us with your reasons why provinces such as Manitoba have some of the highest apprehension rates in the western world.


Lets get this straight. The US has an immigration problem and Trump is taking heat for trying fix it. Trump is cruel, its not fair, how can he do this! ect.
The US has 11 million illegal immigrants! Canada has nothing compared to that.


Trump is an admitted white supremacist and eugenicist.

His 'base', and I do mean 'base', loves them some racism.

It's what attracted them to Trump.


ZUMA has done right. No one support such kind of person.


Given that climate has been changing for millions of years they would look as stupid as Trudeau and Obama if they failed to know about climate change 40 yeas ago.


He's a fu----g liar and he's the president. Say no more.


discussion is manning up, and admitting when you are wrong. In this case wrong on you statement about division. Discussion is manning up and admitting you are posting a shameless double standards, such as with Clinton. You are incapable of addressing the facts I call you out on. That is not a discussion, crum, It is why I am brutal frank with you now. I loathe and despise the intellectually bankrupt who do not have the character to man up, and will treat all of you with the contempt you so aptly deserve. If you want a discussion, crum, you need to attain intellectual honesty, character, and man up when corrected,


I do not begrudge people who drive compact trucks their choice.  I would never choose one myself.  I have personally known too many people who have died in them when they collide with larger trucks.  The passengers in the larger trucks invariably survive.


and a good time was had by all


Have you heard the comments directed at MR. Bill Bellichick and his attire?  Google him then explain why this is double standard?  There are many real issues that females and minorities need to overcome.  You don't do them any favors by just blindly yelling "double standard" at every opportunity.


the dems are like vampires caught outside just before sunrise...........lie, cheat, steal anything is acceptable to them. slander, libel and delusional drivel. the leftys own the MSM.  Trump has done nothing illegal,...........the left is livid.


OK, Wombat! I guess we agree. :)


"...wave of populism, and drift to the far right, that helped to propel Donald Trump into the White House "
Only in the feeble mind of a far left Liberal like Reguly would the mainstream, who voted for Trump, be considered the far right.


The National Anthem honors the country. The flag is the symbol, like the symbol every player wear and their helmets, that represents the team the play for. By doing this in uniform, these players are as much, if not more, disrespecting that uniform they'll wearing. How are these protest reported, Bronco player Brandon Marshall took a knee, 49's quarterback Colin Kaepernick took a knee. Not only are players identified, but so is their team. And how has these protest shot police violence, or inter-cities violence. This action is selfishness on the part of the players, they got their's so the hell with where they came from, so they'll take a knee in protest of?


money managers  and IT  workers ...couple AI  with a super computer and you will get a program that instantly corrects  all the coding defects in your software ...instantly  , no need for all those IT  folks who are presently required to keep any  operating  system running .


The PET Foundation is nothing more than the Clinton Foundation under a different name.

Both specialize in donations in exchange for political favours otherwise known as bribery and influence peddling.

Once again we are seeing the slimey under belly of the Liberal Party that was so evident under Chrétien.

Having perfected bribery under Wynne , it is now being openly practised in Ottawa under JT.

Our politicians are turning Canada into a third world banana republic..


The new lineup, with Bautista batting lead-off and the absurd decision to hit Russell Martin in the 2-hole--when he was healthy enough to play--since that decision, Your Js have played .389 baseball.  7-11, outscored over those 18 games by +40 runs, or more than 2 runs/game.

So, to all those who insisted that batting order really, really mattered, yeah, guess it did--Your Js got worse.

Anyway, posted several times back then that who batted where, that was hardly this team's most pressing problem.  And was right.  Again.  Sorry, I was.  Got some blowback from 1 poster who shoulda known better, but for some reason felt he had to argue the toss with me, and 1 poster who doesn't know better, never did and never will.


It was a jesuit run conference.

the jesuits have little sway in the USCCB

it was a loud side show.


Why can't we just relax? Who cares? Female privates go in the women's room and male privates go in the men's! This was a girl that wants to be a boy.


Oh my goodness, he thinks on his own for the betterment of all Alaska! Call Scotland Yard!

//runs around flapping arms//

Does anyone remember when the Republicans or the Democrats in the state got along? I do! And the state was doing extremely well! It wasn't just because we had money with the oil, it was because the two sides worked together. They respected each other! What a concept!


A victim of Quatro described Tambo as "brilliant and ruthless".


I would think it difficult making a living as a writer for Catholic publications.
Winter is probably under the gun to produce a lot of articles to obtain minimal financial compensation.
And writing  for other non RC publication, where possibly better money, is extremely difficult given the competition of excellent writers and dwindling subscribers.
Possibly MW doesn't have time to check source in effort to churn out bulk number of pieces?!
Apologia - explanation, not an excuse.


The investigations of Archbishop Nienstedt and Cardinal Keith O'Brien have played out ... and we're STILL WAITING FOR THE FACTS ... church-led investigations try to hide the facts from the laity as if we're children who need to be "protected" from the truth. I will follow the secular press on this one ... they'll get to the truth and won't be shy to reveal it to us all! So far it appears Burke has been a very naughty boy, who is in very hot water.

Your feigned Pandoric indignation is all about protecting conservative clergy from being exposed for the unscrupulous machiavellis many of them are.


Good work Jim.  Thank you.  Say "Hi" to Terry for me.


Trump acts on impulse. He doesn't know what the term strategy means. Gott mit uns.


I don't know.  That's why I asked who you were referring to......


"In response, some parents are circulating a petition demanding that the school tell parents before any provocative material is presented to their children. The school district has changed its policy, and now controversial books such as “I am Jazz” must be submitted for approval to the school board, but they still have not conceded that it is the parents’ right to know ahead of time when their children might be exposed to such a hotly debated topic."

Thanks Barack.  Appreciate!


So tradesmen from Italy or Portugal can speak English? That is news to me. I thought they spoke Italian or Portuguese respectively!

As for suspicious degrees, it is harder to get into medical or engineering school in Asia, than it is in Canada. I would say a lot of small universities in Canada don't cut it either, because any half wit can get a degree from there.


Did you bother to read the article what was discussed?  Sounds like a pretty constructive meeting, with human rights, adhering to the rule of the law, fighting ISIS, and what to do with N. Korea.  You realize that Asia diplomacy is Gardner's responsibility, right?

And what the heck is this "liberal democracy" you keep talking about?  Our democracy is defined by the Constitution.


But you just did.


Yes, but it suits the G&M narrative of BLM support by muslims.  Therefore, it is national news.  This allows them to collect another merit badge from the multicultural scout league.  As a gay man, I am sick and tired of seeing these stories about Pride, particularly when it comes to a hate group like BLM trying to take it over.


Eck from Melville


All the "great offshore talent" supposedly flocking to Canada due to a Trump "ban" should read this article about what life in Canada under Trudeau is really like. Trudeau is a profligate spender and has serious spending issues. Trudeau and the CRA are going to come after you for every cent possible. Trudeau will confiscate as much of your hard earned money as possible by analyzing your social media pages and running your data through new Government Mainframe Algorithms.  Trudeau will make you work well into your old age when you have painful arthritic joints and hurt all the time so that he can spend it on His Caribbean holiday vacations and party in Davos.


No muzungu, if you were honest you'd see that's exactly what Chugiak and her buddies are doing. I haven't gotten anyone banned, threatened to get them banned or bragged about doing so.


thank you Dennis!!!!!!!!!


It's what the culture of death does!!

Margaret Sanger would be very very happy if she wasn't very very alone and very very busy nashing her teeth.


So the created a top limit that they can choose to offer or not.  There should also be a bottom line that no one is asked to consider less than.  I suggest $10,000.


Actually, the world population was 2.5B after WW2.  Today it's 7.5B.  The real problem is too many people trying to eat and stay warm.  So now what do u suggest?  LOL!


The hypocrisy of this writer is breathtaking. Now its normalizing fascist behaviours.

We don't need any lectures on Fascism from you today thank you. The creeping fascism by the left-wing and supported by large segments of the media has been going on for decades now. Not a peep from Denise. A visit to any major campus in this country is all one needs to be reminded of this fact....where left-wing fascist behaviour is most often tolerated or even supported by University administrators of their minions.Even deeply racist fascism. Not a peep from Denise....because the people doing it are largely of colour...you see they are allowed to do it.

So please...stop the lecture....because you are guilty of exactly the sort of behaviour you are condemning.


I love your column Rob, but there are problems with this article.  The examples used, whether shopping at Ikea or fixing up the baby's room apply to rentals as well.  The only way it's any different is if by buying, you're acquiring more space, which may often be the case but isn't necessarily.  Of course a roof has to be replaced, but in markets other than TO and Vancouver, a purchaser usually considers this in the offer they make on the home.
None of this changes the fact that a new purchaser in the market these days should not look to a purchased property to finance their retirement but we should stick to the costs that are unique to buying rather than renting.


Good for our PM.  The apology is long overdue and if the Pope has any morals he will apologize and beg forgiveness for the terror and horrific abuses inflicted on innocent children by the Catholic church.


Absolutely.  So many blind, stupid, p.c. fools.  It's their (and our) funeral.  Idiots.


The legal actions will not be decided by who donated to whom, but rather by the facts and law.

So, your comment is pretty irrelevant.


Multiple spouses at one time versus multiple spouses in succession. It's an apt comparison.

Hiding the Church's teaching because it's difficult is not pastoral, and it's not what Jesus did in His ministry.


Way to go.  Bring in politics with a rude label for liberals after someone saying how civil we are.  Please stop.


how dare you, sir, to label the noble class of arachnids as common spiders?

the class is comprised of wingless, carnivorous arthropods including spiders, scorpions, mites, ticks and daddy long-legs.

I really admire Jane Fonda, but I think your comment was quite witty and clever. I think Jane herself would approve. She does look like the kind of woman who is serious, but has an ability to laugh at herself.  I once met someone in the enterrainment field who worked with her. They said she was bright, down to earth, excellent manners, motivated,  smart, committted. And fun. Doesnt surprise me in the least. For many years i had a photo of Jane....era of Klute....wearng a military style shirt....at my desk at work.She is not perfect, but shes impressive, at least to me. I really admire her. Writing her a fanletter is  a retirement project, so Im enjoying defending her , a pleasure.


Yes!!!
Thank you, Orange County!


Given the semi-surreptitious release of this “document,” it may have been intended as one of the Trump mis-administration’s trial ballons; they may have wanted to see how bad the pushback is. Or it could just be intended as a sop to their “economically anxious” basket of deplorables, even if many in that group would bitterly reject any of their own kids who betrayed Heartland values by so much as applying to an institution full of soft-handed globalists and probable sexual deviants…


The people who are so noble as to be willing to fork over 10 million dollars to a Canadian terrorist who may have fought against Canadians because the charter says his rights were violated are to be laughed at.
This has nothing to do with the charter or the rule of law and everything to do with killing an American and blinding another.
And now the noble among you are being thrown under the bus because Trudeau is saying it would cost a lot more money to fight the Canadian terrorist in court.
So are the people who support paying the terrorist 10 million dollars going to continue to say its the right thing to do or do they go with the more believable it's cheaper to just pay the guy off.
What a fiasco. I hope someday the U.S. can respond in kind.


Perhaps I should have said "Your statement, while true *today* is not accurate....".


"Sadly, the vile hatred of the Le Pen family is already manifested in yet another generation, as the granddaughter of Jean-Marie, and niece of Marine, Marion Maréchal-Le Pen, is active in the party and has been hailed by Steve Bannon as a "rising star." This last point is vital: For all the particularities of French politics and culture, the Le Pens are part of a global movement in which the chief strategist to the President of the United States is a principal. If that doesn't scare you, it should."

It does scare us.  France was instrumental in the United States becoming a country.  The thought that both of these countries that have given so much to the world culturally and politically could, in the twenty-first century, be run by two racist regimes allied in hate should frighten everyone.

Merkel smart and progressive. Trump not in the least bit smart and utterly regressive. The US will be the unconditional loser as the world turns away, in everything from trade and tourism to science and collaboration. What an utter and avoidable waste. aMErica.


_"Actually, I don’t think that your point (b) is accurate."_ -- 12AB34CD

Actually the point is correct, and your explanation indicates a lack of understanding the difference between wishful thinking and market realities.

First, a substantial number of single-family homes _would_ have been rezoned to allow conventional apartments and similar condos.

Second. the market doesn't support redevelopment with family-friendly, workforce housing in close-in residential areas. The market drives higher-cost housing, regardless of form, including single-family redevelopment, so-called "missing middle" and apartments and condos. (Note that "condos" can include forms other than "apartment-like.")

Third. R-1 already allows ADUs on R-1 lots, as well as duplexes (some of which already exist) in the current single-family area.

This kind of well-intentioned, but woefully disconnected from reality, representation of the actual code provisions and effects of SW-SAZ has been a real problem.

while I support Caldwell, believe he is wrong on this issue.  people in law enforcement are always held to a higher standard, the appearance of impropriety is very important.  hence, the fact that he is being investigated should trigger some kind of action.  he should be temporarily suspended with pay, this should be the same for his wife.   believe that taketa too has been negligent is doing what is right.  he really should have been the one to act, not necessarily Caldwell because of the law as to whom the chief is responsible to.  even, kaneshiro the prosecutor is negligent.


Don't paraphrase my content with your myopic degenerative ignorance. Keep your hatred to yourself. Try breathing some fresh air and find something beneficial to humanity for your disinformation crusade.


What a wonderful gift to a great institution. I truly believe the gift would have been better spent on medical research rather than 'retail research'. I find it slightly ironic that the retail world, where there are no tenured jobs, no pensions, usually no benefits other than working for minimum wage, are being 'studied' by people with all those things. I hope we see some benefits to the retail sector, not just the professorial sector.


Hey, Gail, I'd like to help you get some of that garbage out of there for you. I've seen this before first-hand and know how nasty it can get. I have a truck, strong back, plenty of trash bags, gloves and an open weekend. Just need to know where to show up at to start getting this disaster under control!!!


They illegally hacked trumps rivals emails and released them to the media, causing her support to fall. And that is just for starters.


They sound like Planned Parenthood,  "We don't SELL dismembered aborted human babies to the research  and cosmetic  companies"   we are "COMPENSATED"


this is a lot of bs. Why? because you can't flood proof a city when 24 inches of rain falls in 48 hours, its not possible. A sea wall doesn't protect from rain, and it is the flooding that will do 90 % of the damages. You would need to have massive canals and biyous built


Perhaps.  You've very good questions.  Whatever the truths, surely greed is a principle reason.  Greed for profit underlying both the lessee and lessor for their own private agenda.  Whether bad or good, greed naturally exists in a capitalistic chess game.   This is why the US is a great nation and has led the world since it was young.  Only in church can you separate greed from commerce.  Our society separates church from government.


You have got to be kidding, it is now more "En Vogue" and acceptable for media attack on anything labeled "Trump" than to denounce Terrorists and/or Terrorism.  And that folks is why this democrat will fully support Trump because I am getting tired of the obvious one-sided reporting of the news media.


that seems to be the curse of the rider....not age related


Nonsense.

Why always with the range anxiety when you know so little about it?   In 5 years they will be all over....  I was shocked to find one in Lindsay on the weekend downtown and one nearby at the college.    Shopping malls can install a bank of them easy enough and charge 10 bucks an hour.   I know change is hard for conservatives but have faith TDW, one day you will own one to and look back and laugh.  Or at the very least your kids will and they can laugh at you...


I would hate to see Waikiki residents park at Ala Wai park to the detriment of the park users.  Plus, what is the "need" that is being addressd?  Is it a "want" or a "need."  Because if it is for bikes, those bike lanes aren't heavily used and do nothing to eliminate vehicle traffic.


The Adventist identity may be less sterile than it once was, but go to any Adventist institutional community and you will find it. It has a bit more money now, especially where there's a hospital, and so it revolves not around the congregation but around the administrator and his court. But it is still very much there. I talked to a family just recently that wants to move to Kettering "because there I can have an Adventist doctor."

I think William is so used to objecting to everything that he can't find a way to affirm anything that's written here.


OSHA regulations require the employer to provide fall protection equipment & training. If an accident happens, it is determined employer "willfully" failed to provide either or both, cost of the fine can be very high.

This on top of lawsuits can shut a contractor down. Sad to say way to many utterly incompetent contractors.

Then you are in the minority......I know many whose insurance covers less and costs much more. My health insurance covers the same but deductibles are higher and monthly premiums nearly triple. My guess is you get your insurance through Obamacare and get great benefits subsidized by the rest of us. I for one am tired of paying higher costs so that you can have insurance......Was much better before Obama.


......obama never worked, period!


Good Lord, "run man run"......come to my place......I'll hide you!


As the article points out, history is rarely as simple as "he won, they lost, get over it." The winners write history, often to the detriment of the truth.
These statues represent significant events in the development of our country and shouldn't be destroyed. But they belong in a learning environment, not displayed prominently in front of municipal buildings, which implies the local government supports the negative things they did as well as the positive.


But first they'll have to finish up their PhDs at the Charlie Sheen School of Winning and take a refresher Defense Against the Dark Arts course at Trump University.

Care to tell us what you do for a living?    I compare most cops (certainly not all) as construction workers with guns.   They have this infantile macho entitled attitude.  Higher education levels and in-house courses in professionalism and psychology are needed.


I buy milk in the US every time I take a cross boarder trip, it is half the price in Canada even with the dollar being so poorly treated. It would be good for Canada to put Canada first and sell our milk, oil, gas, wood et all at the international price it would be great for us all. US will not be happy but they never are always looking for better ways to rip us off.


Walker how about you just go away? Maybe the Pipeline job you are trying get will hire you early. This is what you get when you elect a sheep in wolf's clothing. Independent my tail. Liberal Dem..  get out of the process where the Senate is trying to save Alaska. Senate stay strong, this guy will never see another term.


"overtly identifying yourself abroad as Canadian had become unwise "

LOL. Take it from someone who actually travels abroad frequently and widely, no-one outside of diplomatic circles cares about Canada's position on anything.


Leftist ideology? Do you mean like being against racism? Rightist ideology being like for racism and slavery? Yes.


In my experience private sector defined pension schemes have offered  totally voluntary buy outs to those in the pension scheme.  They are given a lump sum which they may use, invest, or roll over into a tax deferred IRA which they OWN and can manage as they see fit.   If they do not consume all the assets they can be passed on to heirs thus giving them a start in a retirement scheme.   The companies off load pension liability and provide the retiree the ability to manage and grow the funds themselves going forward.   Has PERS considered this arrangement to reduce its liability?


The WSJ, Bloomberg, etc., have all pointed out a few things:

1. Trump is an individual businessman/entrepreneur, (the most self-reliant kind - a developer) but has never had a boss, answered to shareholders, etc.

2. The LAST thing the CEO of a publicly traded company wants is to wake up to a 3AM tweet from the president/elect threatening tariffs (taxes) on your company based upon a simplistic assessment of but one action of your organization (opening a production facility in another country)...several companies have seen their share prices decline because of this...

All in all, the business community's belief that "one of theirs'" is now president is turning out to be not such a good thing...


Here's a thought. A $50,000 fine - and loss of their license. Suddenly what was the cost of doing business becomes the loss of that business, period.


It seems that Mr. Manning and perhaps his closest Conservative friends are trying to ride on the coattails of Pres. Donald Trump.  Do they think that if they rant and point fingers at all non-Conservatives they'll get the angry non-political people to jump on their bandwagon?  I think they are trying to tap into the disappointment that so many feel and are hoping they'll easily buy into being saved by a political party.  It's a dangerous game.

Rona Ambrose's comment that a government's role is to serve the people who pay the bills, not the well-heeled interests that talk the loudest is ridiculous.    She and many of her Conservative friends are pretty well-heeled and they speak loudly.  If hers isn't an attempt to create an "us and them" environment, I don't know what is.

I want leadership that cares about every single citizen--the Conservatives don't seem able to comprehend such leadership in their current mindset.


Bingo....


Most non-US people don't have the Puritan hangups about nudity.


there is another article written by a harada which states that unregulated care homes should be legalized and everything will be fine.  that is wishful and naïve thinking.  if regulated care homes have deficiencies than it is quite obvious the unregulated ones will have more.  patient safety and welfare should be the first priority, trying to avoid regulation.  bringing down costs may be good but we cannot compromise quality care for cheap care.  many of these patients are in the last few years of their life, we have to treat them with dignity and respect and not like animals.


I love it !  Jagmeet wouldn't be the first to utter those famous last words.


Sorry Michael but they are not INDEPENDENT of jobs and it's foolish to think so. Let's see how it works. The Navy is here. The have service families living here that need local services. Local businesses hire people as employees to meet that demand for service and the goods and services provided are taxed as they are for non-military citizens living here. Additionally those local employees have to live somewhere and also generate demand for services for their own families and pay sales taxes and property taxes as well. Net result business increases more taxes get paid as a result and, supposedly, everyone benefits. Now take the military away. No need for those local employees so you get rid of them. They no longer pay sales tax,  income or property tax and if they stay in the area become a burden on the tax base instead of a benefit to it. A lot of housing goes vacant with an accompanying rise in crime like everywhere else there was a base closure. The NAVY pays more than it's share.


That may be the case with the local chapter where you live. I'm in Fairbanks; the Tanana Valley chapter has run a booth for many years at the fair where they conduct a straw poll. We've caught them doing exactly what I described numerous times spanning over a decade.

I mentioned elsewhere that I've been on a hunt this summer for old images of Alaska which have fallen out of copyright for various reasons or were never under copyright (read: works of the federal government). One shows an Alaska Railroad box car with a banner announcing "Alaska's New Voting Machines" from 1962. This came about after Warren Taylor championed ridding Alaska of its blanket primary, or decades before anyone ever heard of Jim Zawacki or other Republican sockpuppets. Or back when Diebold as a manufacturer wasn't quite known for specialties such as voting machines.  Anyway, Taylor's objective was to allow people to basically cast a straight party vote without having to give it any thought.  Sound familiar?


Even if Amazon was intending to build in the Eastern Time Zone, they had no reason to tell anyone that. Instead, they let all these cities know that the competition was fierce and everyone needed to bring their best offer to the table.

The belligerent, aggressive, ungrateful insolence of Israel is truly breathtaking and mindblowing.

For reasons extending through millenia, the Israelites never were able to settle down on and hold a piece of land in the ME. Then came the 20th century and the world community, through the UN, said "Here ya go.  Here's your very own, brand new country.  Enjoy!"

The Israeli response?  "It's not big enough and anyway it's not the one that Abraham's imaginary friend promised us so we're grabbing as much more as we like".

They sure must have a lot of faith in Donald Trump because the United States' support through the decades is the only reason that Israel has continued in existence.  An unconcerned United States, or worse, a United States concerned enough to do something about Israel's illegal behaviour would not go well for Israel.

I don't entirely agree with your post but I will grant you that the idea that this situation has been boiled down to if you support the players your'e un-patriotic and if you support the flag you're a racist, cop lover.  It was never that simple.  It is however why I think it was a colossally bad idea to protest with the anthem in the first place.  Yes, it drew attention but it also drew away from the message.

I'm a 26 year veteran and I went to work every day because doing so made me feel good and made me feel a part of something bigger than myself.  Did I appreciate someone saying thank you when I was out at lunch in my uniform?  Of course.  Did I need someone to say thank you to validate my decision to serve?  Absolutely not.  Players kneeling or standing changes nothing for me.  Can I have the opinion that they should stand?  Of course.  Does that make me a racist?  No, it doesn't and on the flip side, you can love America and be a patriot without wearing a flag pin on your lapel.

The reason "progressives" never complain when Obama and the elitist Democrats send THEIR children to private schools, is because Obama and the elitist Democrats are paying the tuition. They aren't asking the taxpayers  to foot the bill.

You want to take my tax dollars and give them to your Christian school.
Why should I have to pay taxes to support your religion?


Yes. You will see the end of it if you Vote NO on Prop 2, and if the City Council doesn't try to commit suicide by going against that vote again.

If not, buckle up.


So Saudi Arabia wasn’t a huge Clinton Foundation financier? Oh right they donated because they want to help other countries like Africa, duh, my bad.

Recipe for a boondoggle.
Step one: get government approval for your sketchy project.
Step two: complain loud and long about poor "market conditions".
Step three: assert how your project is long term nation building.
Step four: dump as much risk on the public as you can extort from frightened politicians.
Step five: postpone and delay the project until markets improve.
Step six: demand extension of timelines ad infinitum.
Step seven: complain loudly about lack of government support.
Step eight: borrow as much against the value of the project as the banks will allow.
Step nine: never admit that the dog won't hunt.
Step ten: return to step two and repeat yourself.

If the investors in this project have to assume 100% of the risk, it will never be built.


Agreed. I listened to him on the TV this morning as he announced his candidacy .. his voice gradually got louder and louder as he tried to talk over the interviewer, getting more and more excited about "the mess" Canada was and how he could straighten it all out. Despite his denials... he sounds just like Trump; leave it to me, Im so clever I can fix anything! Duh


I've never heard anyone who I considered a real Alaskan say this tired, trite phrase.  And I've been here lots longer than you, bub.


You are free to believe what you like. However there is a burden of rationality inherent in conversation particularly public ones. Advancing arguments of a god should require that you engage with the following:

1. Posit a set of axioms that exclude sought proof.
2. Define god.
3. Define existence.
4. Show objective evidence that a god meets that criteria.
5. Show that the result is significant!

IMO.  Morality, just like god is likely a construct. It is an very important one, but a construct none the less. Arguments that rely on the most good, or the absoluteness of good are flawed. Humans certainly do not seem to be divine or special in any sense. It seems likely that we are simply cleverer animals. The initial formation of the universe is outside the boundaries of concrete knowledge. However the formation of the universe while including randomness, is not random.


People are ridiculous. Thanks for putting Hawaii in the spotlight! Life will go on and people will try to boycott something else within a few days.


"Last month, it was revealed that U.S. President Donald Trump had quietly ended his government’s four-year-old program to train and arm Syrian rebels fighting Bashar al-Assad’s regime."
Correction: Trump ended funding to terrorist extremists who seek to impose a sharia law theocracy, and who torture and kill anyone who is not of their faith, and who kidnap and behead little children.
Syria is a mess because of the West's actions - just like Iraq is a mess because of the West's actions. The West was never in Syria for Syria, but to oppose Syria. Desisting creating and supporting terrorists in Syria is the first thing that the West has done for Syria since before the conflict began.

We need to step away from principles and just use common sense. Of course, it would be disastrous to say any woman who gets drunk, has sex and can't remember was raped.
But in this case, a drunk woman decides to have sex with a middle aged taxi drive in the back seat of a cab....there is no reasonable doubt here.

part of the rise  may be  people "disclosing"  now that they partake, where as before they did the same thing - just kept mum. and there is probably the novelty factor that will wear off.    personally i am very disappointed in the marijuana veg offerings at the dispensaries. i don't want some "altered" product that may have remnants of some nasty chemical still present.  and   for some reason, none of the bud looks like good old fashioned bud and it doesn't have the impact either  - regardless of some number claiming to be the quality of either the recreational or medicinal component in the plant.  smells good - looks funny and is meh quality. i'll stick with the old fogey's that seem to still grow the best... my best advice to a young whippersnapper - go buy from an old fogey...


So much for the smug progressives who claimed Canadians superior to Americans.  Turns out your just as insane.


"Increasingly he revealed himself — and confessed to being — a man who put the institutional church first, second and third. He also revealed a man deeply deficient in compassion and empathy."

In other words he is an Australian version of Bernard Law.  We need clergy who live gospel values and not company men who put the institution first and the Gospel way down the line.

The bridge does carry bicyclists and pedestrians, but so do the many other Bridges. Those uses alone certainly didn't justify building another expensive bridge.

Nobody deserves it but it was made for the people to be able to survive how insanely expensive it is to live up here. Now I dont know all the laws by any means but ak has always been expensive to live and has only gotten worse. I don't like how they are lying to us that the pfd money is running out when it's the highest it's ever been (again don't know all the technicalities but I even been paying enough attention) despite that our greedy government has a HUGE spending problem and need to be voted out and I personally feel a sales tax will handle the rest. I know everyone hates tax and hates it but if we are being honest here. The government isn't going to stop spending and we have to many idiots with lined pockets up here for them to be voted out for example murkowski who has constantly screwed us and don young?really people do you research do just fill it in clause it works for you. Leave it blank if you don't know. Anyways my point I don't think walker  so much deserve governor as

Oh Rochy give it a rest will ya.  First off you have never read Marx or Gramsci and the fact you keep devoting words to a thinker from 150 years ago is tiring.  Marx helped usher in a lot of the rights you as a worker enjoy today.  And a lot of it is very dated for sure.  But what I don't get with you low effort types is the anger and hostility and the child like arguments.
Now just what did Thomas say that was wrong rochy?  Is he increasing military spending?  I heard he was, so that increases debt; is he cutting taxes on the wealthy?  I heard he was so that is also increasing debt.  And the wall rochy the wall.... he says he is going to pay for it up front and bill them later...will that add to the debt rochy?   Trump has gone bankrupt 5x and stiffed people for large sums of money and could care less.  What are your thoughts on that debt rochy?  Is that a good way to do business?  You can do it rochy you angry man-child.  Where are the cost cuts coming from rochy?


Imagine churches becoming just another tool in the political propagandist toolbox. Hundreds of millions can be donated to far right churches, so millionaire preachers can become billionaires and...

Actually, the better community-level services are, the less need there is for more locked-ward placement.  Yes, there will always be some need for secure forensic placement.  However, many of those individuals, had they received adequate community-level treatment and support would not have committed the crimes which led to their commitment.  The best mental health care is timely, proactive care and support provided before the mental illness progresses to the behavior leading to commitment.  That's the "missing piece" in our mental health care system.  We need to recognize it and be willing to provide it.  We're doing neither and we've got hundreds, perhaps thousands, of individuals "on our streets" who need and deserve our care and support.  Gary Crum

Every time some hikers get lost or hurt and need to be rescued there's the usual complaining about the cost to taxpayers.  But nobody ever whines about all the swimmers, fishermen, boaters and surfers who have to get plucked out of the ocean on a regular basis.  Going out in the water is so dangerous there's even a permanent safety force dedicated to saving those people - the City and County lifeguards.   Yes, some of these hikers are nincompoops who are reckless or clueless.  But there are plenty of other people who do dumb things - like eat too much or drive carelessly - and then have to get government help.   The amount of your tax money spent rescuing hikers is a tiny fraction of the money spent on helping people with health problems due to poor eating habits, for example.


Worse than Watergate, oh, yes.

We in Hawaii  don't have any type of legalized gambling because of Las Vegas gaming lobbyists paying off our politicians to keep it illegal. It's so obvious.


How about you move to Detroit or the Bronx or some other inner city and see what the death toll is there.  Baltimore couldn't hold a cease fiire for more than 2 days. Wake up Libertarian and drop your rose colored glasses.  You are in make pretend land with your righteous talk.  And how many did we kill in Vietnam?  Don't give me your libertarian BS talk and make like you know more than everyone else.  N Korea should be a parking lot but we keep talking and talking and now look where we are at?  We got a scary okole president running us straight into oblivion as Mike Tyson would say.  So save your bull crap for the rest of your lala land idiots


The Ontariowe Liberals lying and incompetence has cost us >>$Billions,
Trump ?
Nothing so far ......
Might the media please return to real Canadian problems - PLEASE !!!


Thomas, perhaps they know more about finance than you.


I saw the article as focusing on gun control, albeit which party is pushing for gun control? And which party has been hijacked by liberalism and socialist philosophy?  And what is socialist philosophy?  'Gun control' is about far more that guns.  Emphasis on word 'control'.  If it truly were about saving lives then we would be giving serious attention to our lax driving laws and drivers licensing requirements.  In my pretty long life, over 50, I have personally known almost 20 people killed in vehicular accidents.  I know not one killed by someone else discharging a firearm.


Of the 4 different sources what one in your view biased?

As for the Fact Checker link - again, it doesn't seem to be very relevant to my comment. What do Kay Hagan & Mark Udall have to do with the decline in greenhouse gas emissions?

As for cherry-picking, perhaps you ought to re-read my original comment. I said simply that Democrats oppose any reform of entitlements; you were the one who lept to the conclusion that I was defending or asserting Paul Ryan's plan. I am not. In fact I had in mind the proposals that emerged from the bipartisan Breaux Commission, which was constituted by Bill Clinton in mind-1990s. Alice Rivlin has championed these, among others.

Your other links are to an partisan advocacy group - the National Committee to Preserve Social Security & MEdicare. Fine, but please drop the pretense that you are not presenting a biased argument when you're relying on an advocacy group. I suspect you would demand the same of someone relying on a Heritage Foundation report.


They are no more important than any other citizen.


The changes make sense to me, dealing with Trump and undoing all the damage Harper did to the  Immigration dept  need strong players.


Wow, my mild and inoffensive comment gets deleted and this piece of drivel stays up? Something is seriously wrong with the censors on this comment board.


Don't worry.

We sacrificed a chicken this morning and read the entrails.  Everything is going to be just fine.


Bill was impeached over the Lewinsky scandal .. he settled out of court with Paula Jones.  To deny he is a sexual predator is self-delusional.  By your logic Trump isn't a sexual predator either because he has never been in jail.... so don't feign outrage at Trump if that is what you believe.


The article cleaerly states there is moly in the water.


Umm no, they were not evil because the "judged others"  They were evil because they killed people and practiced genocide.


Since when has common sense and truth had anything to do with left-wing voting blocs?


Imho, Brown's death was suicide-by-cop.  I wish the writers who have blogged about Michael Brown repeatedly would have spent some time and energy looking into the facts of Brown's life.  Why was he so eager to throw it away?  McGivern wrote a blog claiming that the video from the store was fake.  She has never retracted or apologized.  Another writer for NCR said Brown was "executed" for jaywalking.  She has never retracted or apologized.  McGivern boasted of chanting HANDS UP, DON'T SHOOT.  She has never explained.

Now she claims Brown "was set to start community college the next week."  Where does she get that idea?  At the time it was said Brown was enrolled at Vatterott, a for-profit school, not a community college, but that school has never confirmed it.  Maybe he had not enrolled, and part of the misery that caused him to throw away his life was the fear that his grandmother would find out.

McGivern says Brown was "unarmed."  Not because he didn't try to get Wilson's gun.


My hometown let's people have chickens in town. I was against it. They have  brought  bring all kinds of critters to town. I watched a guy fire about twenty pellets at a skunk in a trap that was caught near his coop. It was brutal. He told me he has had skunk problems all year. They like the eggs. I suggested a quicker way to kill the skunk, but he thought it was too inhumane. Oh well.


And today, the PCLU, made up of zuptoids, does all Zuma's dirty work in hunting down dangerous people like Gordhan, Breytenbach, Booysens, McBride, Dramat, O'Sullivan
Its a damn disgrace, and the tax-payer is footing the bill for it
Good story Kevin, pity it will fall on deaf ears


Everyone has different experiences, and those experiences cannot be denied. My own nephew had a bad roommate assignment at the UO and left because of that. Since, objectively, the UO has a vast and far-reaching and expensive system of student support, I'd be interested in hearing, more specifically, about what you've found lacking. The amount of student support  at the UO is overwhelmingly greater than what existed years ago when I was a student. And the people I've met who are involved in that support system are first-rate in heart and mind.

As for the quality of instruction, that variable usually depends more on the individual instructor or department than it does on the institution, although the workload of the instructor is a  factor, too.

OSU is a great school. They've had a great president at the helm for many years.


Lots of hypotheticals...


Yeah she was horrible.  Just a grating voice.  And next to a windbag.


With the thought that the Dr. Dao incident on United initiated waves of discontent, irritation, and a sense on entitlement, I prefer the airlines remain strict in managing every flight.  It is okay that I don't have any rights when I board an airplane.  I want to get to my destination safely.  People complain about the leg room.  Well, we all have the option to purchase seats in business and first class if we wanted more leg room.  Deregulation gave us lower fares, but it also meant fewer services that are not profitable, and a charge for services that are profitable.


Ya right, so I guess you also think that is someone is a racist conservative that it's ok?


I think he changed his name to Godot


What heresy did Fr. Curran teach? Please be specific.


Hannah, I don't know you but I prayed for your safe return, thank you for letting the police know you're ok and what your intentions are. Only you know why you left but I hope in time you can make peace with your family.  Again I am thankful this was a good outcome.


All of those programs affect me (negatively) If you want some that don't affect me much either way we could toss most of the governors office 'programs', cut some of DNR, Some out of Agriculture, Take an AX to DORA and DOLA and a chainsaw to CDE and Higher ED.


Mr. Phoenix followed the letter of the law.  The legislature and the author of this opinion piece don't like the laws in this area and know that Mr. Phoenix will follow the law, and they have actively advocated to insure the law is rendered useless by a fanatic Christian influence in government.  No different than Islamic extremists.  Just a different country, and different circumstances.  You are extremist religious fanatics wielding undeserved power due to your co=opting of money worshipping and leveraging of ignorance through media. I find it, and you, disgusting.


Ducks:  You are not BUYING a Tanker.  They charge PER DAY, when the fire is out, they go to their home base and wait for the next call.


The film producer, Marc Morano, has his far-right bona fides. He studied under Rush Limbaugh, and was the first to publish the Swiftboat Veterans lies against John Kerry. That got him a job in the Bush administration, and a job with climate denier Sen. James Inhofe. Who knows who is paying for his organization, and film, and his website which posts articles like, "There Was No Fukushima Nuclear Disaster", and "Alarmist sea level data may raise flood insurance". Lamar Smith, Sara Palin, and Marc Morano, any or all of this triumvirate of in-your-face-stupidity debating Bill Nye - one can only hope.


so what's the reason you did not get allocated capacity at draft plan approval stage?


China's response was the best...we are on the side of whoever doesn't launch nukes first. Joining the escalation of words or "side picking" isn't going to help.  I've seen plenty of videos where two idiots pick a fight with each other. The people who choose sides don't come off looking any brighter. It is the wise soul that tells them to smarten-up and shake hands that comes off as the better of them all.


they're only concerned with ,how much gold they get.


Leftist racism for calling out a white supremacist (allegedly, if that is what he was doing)?  You have an unusual take on that comment.  Maybe a bigot toward white supremacists would be more appropriate.  In that case, I am extremely bigoted to white supremacists?  And you?


A simple possession conviction equals never being able to find a job and subsequently a life on welfare?

Is this an attempt at comedy?


So, who is the most intolerant? A group protesting the removal of statues or the counter protesters arriving with helmets, clubs and baseball bats......?? Two wrongs don't make a right.....


RIP Mr Peters and condolences to his family. To be a Navy Seal requires the utmost in bravery and dedication to fellow warriors. it is an honor that most can not achieve.


Brazile: <<Trump looks for a daily excuse to distract from his job. No, the primary system wasn’t rigged! States control primary ballots.>>

https://twitter.com/donnabrazile/status/926465631536459777

Brazile is shocked, shocked right-wing media is having a field day with her book.


Good for Trudeau! Leitch should continue to be "disparaged" (I would say challenged) on her nasty views. Since right wingers treated us to daily does of "Trudeau will choose a system that most benefits the Liberals", he is quite right to have dropped the ranked ballot system although I like that system - it does not guarantee the Liberals permanent presence in second pale votes on ballots because there is nothing stopping the Conservatives from making themselves more palatable to centrist voters!


I thought our country was broke?


Silly me - when I first starting seeing the side guards a few years ago, I thought they were for aerodynamic purposes ...
A good idea, mandating them, but they don't look as if they are substantial enough to stop a car moving at highway speeds from going under a jack-knifed truck - I thought they were designed to push cars away from the rear trailer wheels in the event of an accident where both vehicles are traveling roughly in the same direction ...


Speak for yourself, you are an embarrassment to Canada.


Insecurity is not a good trait for a 'president'. And unfortunately we need to take him somewhat seriously.


You must be disconnected from reality to imply that people's fear is somehow irrational and unjustified.  Of course it is a suicide bombers goal to kill as many innocent people as possible with their homicidal bombs.  Of course it is to instill fear.   The State Department issued a travel warning to all Americans about traveling to European  destinations.  They didn't issue that warning to instill irrational fear.  It is in response to reality.  If people are experiencing fear it is not because they are paranoid or irrational,  it is because they are perceptive and aware that ISIS and other non State actors have declared War on them.


What does the pope have against cardinals from Africa?


Yep, and it has darker overtones.


Dave63 wins the generic pro-gun garbage comment of the day award! Yippee!

Nothing like downplaying a pandemic with snarky faux-logic. Nothing like equating the repeated, mass slaughter of innocents with anecdotal punchlines about other methods of hurting people. People like you would never win in a debate, and typically hide from them.


"The Greater Fool" has been predicted  a housing crash since 2008!

He has ruined many people's lives with his bad advice. He still to this day is predicting a crash. Well, even a broken clock shows the correct time twice per day...


A deep ecologist lying about their koolaide.  The devil you say.


Because only tech matters, right?


See reply to comrade Guilbert above.


Trump is ill-mannered, erratic and loves "alternative facts". The leaders of other countries, both America's friends and America's enemies, have recognized this. There is very little chance that Trump will now ever be treated seriously on the world stage. The Trump administration is rapidly diminishing America's standing in the world. It's difficult to see things improving over the course of the next three years.


And we all know Trudeau's tax and spend won't work either.


What's a medical consultant?

' make hay while the sun shines'. Hasn't he heard that Ottawa is slashing health care spending and that Canada's economy is crashing in 2017? Fill up the savings vehicles as the good times won't last much longer.


Elderly patient with a hip surgery after a fall.... that's routine!?


The ones who built the swamp are rich, white people who largely tend to vote Republican. And using terms like LibTard or Lefty, only goes to demonstrate your level of maturity, or rather immaturity. Are you too dumb to realize that people like Trump couldn't care less about the little guy and is only interested in increasing his own wealth at any cost. Trump will not last one term, guaranteed.


Not if you were one of the people she called a "deplorable".


Russia did work to influence the out come of what was a very close election. Whether they succeed or not can never be proven one way or another. The only sure thing is that they will do it again.


Her total lack of class is consistent with the other jerks at Fox News. The sad thing is that the conservative base probably thinks she looks fantastic and is incredibly patriotic. It's easy to see why Trump is so successful pandering to the ignorant.

For the GOP:
Taking a knee - evil

Bastardizing the flag into some 1980's exercise cape - wonderful
Waving the Confederate flag - wonderful
Marching with torches in the street shouting, "Blood and Soil!" - wonderful


...and what a gem this one is. It's filled with standards that have yet to be discovered by the likes of Midler, Streisand and Aretha! Can't Wait. "Here Without You" is extraordinary!


So sorry to hear of this what a great man! He will be so missed!!


I thought the Darwinists would be all over this one by claiming it's evolution.


Good  for Ken Darling for speaking up.  Lets' hear more about  his family connection, as his  Great-great grandparents Eugene and Mary Skinner were excellent folks who lack the controversy swirling around such other local leaders as Mathew Deady, Joe Lane and John Whiteaker.


He was complaining about the communications and consultation strategy, not the contents.


Congratulations ! Kudos to the exceptional gifted teachers!


Well said. It is remarkable that so many here by their votes have signified that protecting the lives of the unborn means so little to them or find it 'funny'.


You do know that the billionaire was a liberal.


You are NOT a tax professional. A "real" tax professional would be enraged at these changes. Nice try :)
I suspect you are a public service employee afraid of losing their DB  pension.


The question, Mr. Duterte, is very simple: Were the people you killed convicted by and sentenced to death by your country's judiciary?

There's a word for people who kill other people without judicial warrant--it's "murderer". And, if you've murdered several people without judicial warrant, it's "mass murderer".


If these demonstrators are opposed to Sharia law, they should be protesting a President whose first foreign trip was to Saudi Arabia, which is the world's greatest funder of extremist Islam —Wahabism. If they knew anything about how the Saudis have spent 100s of billions of $ spreading Wahabism and how they continue to spend their fortune to radicalize moderate Muslim communities around the world, they would have been outraged at Trump doing the Sharia Shuffle Sword Dance and being played for a fool by the Saudis.


No need for job action. Wynne will give away Ontario's inheritance just to keep her job in 2018!


Fake news? If it's fake, debunk it. But you can't because if you were intellectually honest and even remotely curious you would find out there is a whole trove of evidence linking Epstein and Trump as there is linking Clinton and Epstein.

But that's the difference between you and me. I accept the all the evidence to make an informed opinion and you only accept half.


"I still recommend taking out the North Korean missiles, nuclear weapons and leadership but use conventional weapons. An FAE and a few bunker busters would work."

I'm sure that's been considered, but there are problems or it would have already been done. For one, Seoul would likely be turned into a sea of fire from the roughly 20 thousand artillery pieces targeting it. A whole lot of unhappy and dead Southerners the result. For another, China would likely go ape with unknown consequences. And then there's the likely possibility that you don't get all the nukes and/or the brain-trust that builds them( are you also prepared for an all out invasion of the North too track them down?). Too many things to go wrong in  a high risk action for relatively little gain. Better to work on striking a deal of some kind, like say a final peace treaty.


Hi
You are right - I cannot argue with your logic and Buthelezi is academically quite well qualified for the position, plus has some relevant experience.

It just boggles the mind that any sane logical decent person could think that getting rid of two competent people with decency and integrity - Gordhan and Jonas, and replacing them with Gigaba and Buthelezi would be an improvement and good for the country.


Why don't reporters probe deeper? Deadline pressure? Inability to think on their feet? (i.e.: lack of experience?) Another question: aren't they taught this in journalism classes/lectures?  Yeah, I know: Ms. Doolittle spent 20 months on this "file," Lots of experience! (A "learning" experience, I suspect, missed opportunities all along the way.) Another question: where were her senior editors' "oversight" on this particular "file"? The tone of many pieces was "Aha!  And what does THIS nugget suggest to you, dear readers?"  Suggest it's the reporter's job to investigate that, not readers'.

So: the Minister of Justice thinks the Philly third-party "external advocates" is terrific and Canada should adopt it-- the unfounded rate went from 18 per cent to 4 per cent.  To what effect? Are complainants happier? Anybody check with prosecutors?  Judges?  Are courtrooms clogged with unwinnable cases?  What's the CONVICTION rate now?

There you go, Ms. Doolittle...onward, please.  Thanks.


I second that Pocho. God Bless The Donald!  Todays quote: The Democrats have Nothing left. All they Have left is  stirring fear to their supporters and provoking Character Assassnination".


Nice gift from GCI management to their new owners.
Liberty gets a BIG fat rate increase and GCI takes the heat for it.


I'm very surprised this hasn't already happened.
IMO, the BCLibs  political donations stance was a major reason for them losing so many seats.
h11: You are correct - the NDP best not forget this. And best move soon, or earlier.


As long as no one get's hurt, that's good for me too.


According to RD, the statement, "Without a doubt, the use of chemical weapons is morally reprehensible." means "gassing people is OK".


Think about making less than 100K a year, no inheritance, no free trips from mommy & daddy and then write this piece again with that in mind.  Do only people that can afford $500.00 per night rooms read the travel section of the G&M?


Call me cynical, or conspiratorial, but Trump's Syrian missile attack does not pass the smell test.  Too many coincidences. This is all about optics: sending a timely message to multiple listeners.  First, China and North Korea: President Xi Jinxing is informed of US attack over Floridian dinner? We saw that scene on TV's West Wing. The most urgent US-China issue is North Korea with Trump wanting China's cooperation - but claiming he might act alone if necessary? FBI and Senate/House: Russia-Trump ties under investigation and seen - at best - as too friendly? Suddenly not anymore.  Baby-lovers: why was Trump emotionally moved now, but not by previous photos? Everybody else: why would Syria drop just one single Saran WMD when an entire squad of jets attacked? And why now, just when Trump needs a symbolic win both at home and abroad? Can we rule out the possibility that Russia did this to aid Trump?  Heaven forbid - might the US have done this?


That's probably the best compromise we can expect.  A bandaid over a gushing amputation.  We need universal care, not more giveaways to the insurance companies and for-profit medical predators.


That's what happens when dope is legalized.   From alcohol to dope to pills we have too many messed up people in Anchorage .   Unless we vote to criminalize dope , crack down on other drugs an alcohol , the death toll will continue to rise unchecked.


I don't think you're getting the point. You are contradicting the teaching of the Church, imputing to it the content of a divine command, and simply repeating the same spiel over and over without providing the slightest evidence in support of your positions except noting that keeping the commandments is difficult. There is nowhere to go with that in a Catholic discussion.


Shapiro is just setting the stage for another of his blistering attacks on government officials, no matter what they do.  That's how he makes his living.


I budget roughly $25/month for my church food bank.

I try to maximize value by buying non-perishables on-sale.

Last week it was cans of tuna and Chef Boyardee pasta for $0.98.

This week Heinz pastas for $0.88 and 12-pak cases of Kraft Dinner for $5.99.

Keep you eyes open to deals in the weekly flyers - Food Basics and Fresh Co are particularly good for this.


Here is more of the "white man's burden" and the resultant hypocrisy of the left.  You see, they say they're "for" "free speech" by pointing out how wrong the speech of another is.  Head scratcher ain't it?!  The left is accusing others of what it is doing itself.  Too funny.  Even all the voices in my head are saying Hmmmm.

http://www.libertyheadlines.com/boston-free-speech-rally-ends-abruptly-27-arrested/?AID=7236

What if...if...the march was about....oh...I don't know...lets say abortion.  And only 30 showed up, w/ permit, signs, and are peaceful and then 10,000 counter protestors started to drown out the smaller one.  I guess that would be okay w/ you.  But it's cool because you can absolutely have that point of view in the greatest country on earth.  Inalienably.


Because there may have been court proceedings, doesn't mean the parents or children actually benefited from "due process." I retired from DFYS, the OCS predecessor, and due process was often found more in the breach than the observance.

The biggest problems I saw at the agency were frequent disrespect for the performance and ability of those who were capable of doing a good job, workloads driven by chronic failures to provide mandated "active efforts," huge turnover both created by impossible workloads and persistently poor recruiting and supervision, and a cultural milieu that treated responsible Native organizations as adversaries, instead recognition of them as indispensable partners. All the time I worked in the Northern Region, the only professional and competent director I ever saw was Rod Caskey, run out early by the Hickel administration which appointed a host of losers. The only supervisors I saw with a whit of common sense were long-retired Linden Staciokas and Tim Stewart.


Her true diplomatic skills should be with Russia. Imagine a Tea Party buff living in Moscow. Thank God she would leave North America borders! She sees Russia from he panoramic window in Alaska. She knows everything including Putin`s gang eh! Sarah has no fear with her NRA contacts eh!


No thanks. This the time to avoid the insanity by either getting out of town or staying home until it all blows over.


You missed the point.


I agree, Fantino was not good for the Veterans. It also appears that Harper was tough on our veterans. That was then. What is Trudeau doing now? Appointing his friend.


Got under your skin eh, John Kawamoto?


Your delusions are getting the better of you.

Or I should say they already have.


I enjoy McKenna Granato's hitting.  With those legs, she can jump and hit with power.  So she gets blocked a few times.  Just need an opposite threat to force an adjustment in the defense.   And an adjustment to where the sets are made.


Point noted. Refugees vs. refugee claimants. And agreed, Canada has been doing a far better job than the US and IMHO many other countries, at least for the past year or so certainly.


Bottom line for me is that Mr. Trump is a US Citizen and has no legal obligation to disclose any personal information, including his tax records.  By the way, any Trump hating reporter can easily stamp anything on an illegally obtained piece of paper (e.g. Client Copy).


"So it appears Mr. Trump has actually moved past collusion and is now acting as an assett of Russia's intelligence services."

What is his rank in Russian's intelligence services? Which ones?
'Collusion' has been alleged by hundreds of Democratic party people.

Provide your 'proof'; not your opinion or wishful thinking.


30 years ago, I worked on the rigs in the Yukon.  It was routinely close to 30C.

That said, Whithorse is in the capital of Yukon Territory. Yellowknife is the capital of the North West Territories.


Why do you want growth. The economy does not do anything for living conditions.


And in fact the article mentions a Research Chair in "Social Justice"


You sound like a broken record.


Most of these people came here as refugees. They claimed asylum to escape the dire poverty, war or general unpleasantness of wherever it is they came from. And now they complain about not being treated fairly? Canadians have done more than their fair share of giving to the disadvantaged people of the world. Maybe it’s time for Canadians to look after their own interests for a change?


IRT Rod B. Catiggay:  Rod, stock-up on tinfoil! Think "hats".


Obama was too busy promoting transgender issues and hating on white Christians to actually help Americans.


How is he wrong??


A good article ruined by his last comment.

What impact does EIA's forecast of demand have to do with the market?  What is material to the market is actual data, and that data of late has been pointing to increasing builds in inventories, arguing that supply remains greater than demand, despite OPEC's attempted manipulation.

One other comment...

The large build in speculative length in crude is associated with a large net short position among commercial traders [read:  producers].  This is consistent with the net sum zero makeup of futures markets, and makes sense as shale producers hedge prices to lock in margins on new drilling.  The thing is, for producers to perfect their hedge, all they need do is produce the necessary barrels.  That is, producers have no reason to close their net short position... Not true for speculators.

Think $42/b.

C'est la guerre!


disgusting people. LIFE IN PRISON: NO PAROLE!


i guess no rights of rescission ???


... took care of the dog, murderers with COMPASSION ...


One of the more unreliable sources of information known to humans is the White House, where the concept of "alternative facts" was invented.

Stephen J. Remington


Surprised blacks are even part of SBC as there YUGE numbers of black Baptist church not affiliated. Probably most white SBC would prefer blacks leave altogether.
White persons need to press for change.  Should not be incumbent upon black persons who often lack any power and historically are the victims of institutional racism.
But whites continue to balk at providing leadership for change.
Change will come from outside the churches.
As MLK said, paraphrase, churches should be headlight, not tail lights.


God, the pettiness of this man sinks lower every day. How degrading it is for the country to be led by someone so small of mind and heart.


I am a conservative, but I am not a big fan of O'Leary.  Having said that, I love watching him eviscerate the governance of Wynne, Notley and Jr T ... the 'Three Horsemen of the Apocalypse'.


I agree. I also think NCR should cut back on its essays to the number that can be well-written, edited, and fact-checked.


If you've been knocked or rendered unconscious, it's a bad idea not to go to the hospital.
