Most Americans would applaud any effort to make it easier and more likely for citizens to vote, but there is a cynical political plot circulating to make it harder for low income, elderly and the young to vote solely because they are somewhat more likely to vote Democrat. To me this is real attempted electoral fraud, and fortunately the courts seem to agree as they are throwing out these "voter ID" laws on constitutional grounds.


This is a terrible, terrible idea! How long will the poison stay alive in the environment, the land, the waters? What animals and other non- rodent  populations will be  wiped out? Horrible.


I recognize that you are much more smarter than the rest of us but can you simplify (dum down) your quote by pretending you are talking to someone educated in the penal community?

When one gov't agency (Metrolinx) sues another gov't agency (Bombardier....) no winners but for sure the taxpayers who are funding both sides of the litigation, lose.


In other words, the Republicans are going to keep fighting over this Democrat leaning district until they corrupt their way back in.  You've lost this race now move on damn it.


Here's an idea. We tel the Americans that we will 'vet and pre-clear' 10,000 of them. That's it, that's all. Those 10,000 will then be responsible for ferrying all goods and information in and out of the two countries. The 10,000 will have employment for life and a very high standard of living while the people in the other 36 states that export to Canada as a #1 client, will be toast. Good on 'em.


And I'm wondering which one of them got to keep it after they were paroled.

You might want to look at a map of the Korean peninsula.  There are millions of South Koreans, and tens of thousands of US troops, within easy range of North Korea.  If an assassination attempt failed, and likely even if it succeeded, there would be hell to pay and many many lives would be lost.  Even Trump is not that stupid.

Rich, you think 50,000 rats is an extremely low number? Okay. Orkin has named Chicago the rattiest city in America for three of the past four years, so if Orkin's numbers are low for Chicago, their numbers are probably low for every other city. Nevertheless, Chicago is still the rattiest city according to Orkin.

And if you don't believe the Humane Society of the U.S.'s estimate for feral cats (1 for every 10 residents) because you think they are tired of euthanizing pets, how about two researchers who have been studying feral cats for decades and are sympathetic to TNR programs who find it reasonable to estimate a community's feral cat population at 1 cat for every two households, or nearly twice as many as the HSUS estimate. Like I say, these are just estimates, but I used the most conservative ones I could find and your estimate hinges on a wrong turn in a single Chicago neighborhood a number of years ago.

This could be easily possible were Canadian businesses to have a more aggressively progressive attitude to growth, development and creative expansion.
Data mining is surely a potent field (hundreds of thousands of jobs there), new business creation and a positive spin on creative expression, for results would benefit not only women, but men as well.
The Nordic countries can show a large benefit with inclusion of more people into productive activities.
Then again; are we really looking to make everyone a 'worker'?


Outstanding comment, Rob!


You're a much kinder person than I am.  I think LW's fiancee is a self-absorbed twit.  If she's too immature to understand why LW wants to move quickly to plan the wedding while his mother is still able to attend, she's too immature to be getting married at all.

As much as I rail against the homeless, and as much as I believe that giving them anything other than a kick in the pants is enabling their chosen lifestyle, I have to wholeheartedly agree with you. It's your money, if you want to give it away, that is a right that comes with earning your own money.


Right on, brother.

Based on your past tales of your Marine exploits, I can't believe you don't know how easy it is to change a semi-automatic assault weapon into a fully automatic weapon, therefor I find this comment disingenuous.  The ease of that process is precisely why honest Americans want a ban on military assault weapons.  I use the term 'weapons' purposely, because these are nothing but weapons, they are not 'hunting rifles'.

Are we okay with Liberal deficits?

Or are we just resigned to the fact Liberals and deficits are essentially synonymous?


You're correct that the ruling didn't establish a veto. What it did do, however, is quite the opposite of what the author appears to believe it did. Rather than granting "ownership" of unceded lands to a First Nation, it instead granted a limited form of title giving First Nations on untreatied lands the same rights as First Nations on treatied lands. The problem appears to be that the author confuses the concepts of ownership and title. Title doesn't necessarily confer ownership but can imply the existence of limited rights and/or shared interests, in the latter instance in this case between a First Nation and the Crown. Under the current Canadian Constitution, First Nations simply can't acquire outright ownership and control of their lands nor can they obtain an effective veto over development decisions, although they have a right to be consulted. Recent SCC rulings have been consistent on these matters.


What name does it go by?


Not only does Trump not have a theory, or a plan, he seems not to remember what he says or does from day to day.  I imagine his ex-wives can testify to his inability to keep promises.  The American people have been hoodwinked into choosing a man who believes he is not accountable to anyone, and whose only principle is 'I got mine, and I'll take yours too if I want it'.  He seems bent on destroying not just this country but the world as well.


"If you think M-103 interferes with free speech you have not read the actual legislation."
Come on. It sets the tone. First Parliament says "we officially think this is wrong", that's M103, then someone says "Well if it's wrong then why don't you put it into law?" and what do you know we get a law that restricts free speech. Kind of like when you runs dozens of articles promoting a particular political viewpoint and then what do you know, Trudeau is giving away $100M to people who promote that viewpoint.


Ya think?


While the article does a decent job of reporting the details, the headline is editorialized at best. To say that Bailey is "exploiting" a "loophole" suggests that he's trying to circumvent rules imposed upon him, when in reality he's simply strictly adhering to a *self-imposed* rule. Literally interpreting a constraint you impose upon yourself can hardly be considered "exploiting a loophole."

Meanwhile, Wheeler -- who hasn't handicapped himself with any such rule -- is out-earning Bailey by an order of magnitude. The WWeek might as well write a headline about Wheeler "exploiting" his right to collect contributions without limit.


A quick search of the Oregon Business Registry reveals that M. Russell Schmitt is not associated with any registered business name. Makes one wonder how legitimate his business is.

In my early days I contributed to fisheries knowledge in the economic effects of overfishing, and why we need science in avoiding that.
It's a tough problem, because it's one where if you're wrong on the wrong side of equilibrium, you go into recovery, and, it's possible to go beyond the possibility of recovery. I'm afraid of science that works to find the maximum to exploit because of that. Double-check and triple-check!
I did get a kick out of the obvious signs of academia, and this list of 300 shows in a miniscule way the pride and arrogance in academia. I don't rage against it, it's required, seemingly. Look for "Emeritus" & "Distinguished", but realize it's all for fun when babbling in our later years.

Of course.  Phony conservatives love to point out the weaknesses of the democratic party but they rarely acknowledge any good points about their party.  When there is a change one of three things could happen:
Things could get better, Things could get worse, no change at all.  When republicans get in, things tend to get worse pretty quick.  Maybe not so far under the Donald but that will change if he is able to get anything passed.

Silly editorial. Harder remains an MP. She simply wasn't appointed to chair a particular committee in which her personal views may well have been disruptive.


I think what you are saying is you want my money, that I work for so I can provide a safe and healthy life for my family, to be taken from me and gifted to you so you can pay for your health and safety? Myself or anyone in my family ever took anything from you or your forefathers.  Why not make it fair and you go to work and earn your own money for your future health and safety. I can continue to work and earn money that I can use for my family and our future. Or better yet, you give me some of your hard earned money so I will have more to spend on my future and health. That is what I am forced to do for you. Sound fair?


Now, DonInKansas, I can tell by your frequent smileys that you love Jesus so much that you could hardly open your mind to this, but it's true:  Peter's use of the sword against civil authority was not clearly an act of self-defense.  The soldier was under orders to make a lawful arrest, and had a duty to carry out that order.  Peter, by opposing lawful civil authority, was "living by the sword," i/e/. using the sword without just cause.  Further, Peter was unwittingly trying to obstruct God's will for Jesus.  The fact that Jesus' trial later turned out to be a kangaroo court does not alter the nature of the soldier's act or his duty.

Furthermore, if Jesus had intended that Peter never again use the sword under any circumstance, would he have told Peter to put it back in its place (as he said), or instead, to throw it away?

"The March 6 order called for a 90-day ban on travelers from Libya, Iran, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen and a 120-day ban on all refugees to enable the government to implement stronger vetting procedures."
Okay, fine. The Trump administration claimed they needed between 90 and 120 days to "enable them to implement stronger vetting procedures".
But.... they've been in power well over the time they say they needed, so why haven't they actually implemented stronger vetting procedures? The court bans did nothing that prevented the government from implementing them. Nothing. So obviously that was not the reason for the attempted temporary bans.
Obviously the Trump gang lied or they're merely incompetent. Which do you think it is?


I'm not sure I see how neutering a cat prevents it from killing.  They still have teeth and claws.

It's a weird correlation for sure. Probably a coincidence -- but I have noticed that a lot of people are expecting that the next few years are going to be times of far greater financial struggle now and are paring back on unnecessary spending in anticipation.


The government is not trying to keep Marshall, Lynch or any other NFL player from kneeling during the National Anthem.  That does not mean that their employer and the NFL cannot ban these political displays for the good of the League.

re:  Everyone who owns a house has benefited from idiotic rises in housing prices

how have you benefited? your kids now will have a tough time finding affordable housing, even retirement homes will be more expensive, plus these prices have put the long term health of the country's economy at risk

idiotic for sure


Thank you. Salty!  I'm damn sick of it, too.


Well, at least we now know for sure that our PP is at best incompetent with a whiff of grandeur, at worst as captured and more as we all expected.
As for Zwane, another example that the race card exists...


We already have tens of thousands of Iranians, Somalis, Yemenis, etc.  Tens of thousands more travel here.  Didn't you know that.  They are critical to our economy.  That's why our invisible Gov brought a lawsuit against the President's executive order.  Cost us $150,000, but saved our economy.  YEA!!!


The decision to seismically upgrade the city hall design was not delayed. It came up for a city council vote and was voted down. Not the best decision, in my opinion. $1 million upgrade to protect public investment in a $27 million facility was a real bargain, given the probability of a subduction zone earthquake over the life cycle of the building.

What if Biden, Kaine, Pelosi, and Kennedy are right about abortion and Chaput is simply wrong? What if God trusts women to make the difficult decisions about their pregnancies without interference from the State? I think if a woman approached Jesus and said, "I'm pregnant and I don't know what to do," I think Jesus would say, "I trust you to pray and make the right decision."

Why is that not Catholic?


I would be be willing to help with that.  Go to my DST webpage and email me. I have learned that with any initiative effort you either must have substantial cash to spend or you have to be organized statewide with volunteers before you began gathering signatures or you will not have enough time.  The legislature has reserved the initiative process only for those with money and/or those who might have access of an existing statewide organization (.

I wonder how many Canadian "aboriginals" call them bison?


One critical question to be sure is addressed...Will the candidates considered for such housing be chronically homeless by "diagnosed disability" vs chronically homeless "by choice?"


Ms. Carlson wrote: "My husband and I helped co-found Smart Colorado, which works to protect Colorado youth from marijuana commercialization."
Perhaps I'm mistaken, but judging by the contents of your group's website you feel the only way to "protect" the youth is a return to prohibition, regardless of the impact on upstanding rational adults.
I'm epileptic. I take medication twice a day and will do so for the rest of my life. Marijuana helps decrease my need to proscription substances, but I also enjoy the semi-euphoric effects. I feel a great amount of empathy for your unfortunate child, but given the following statement, I can't support you:
"But high-THC products have been shown to damage developing brains. This is the message that needs to get out."
That message was widely played prior to the passage of Amendment 64 and nobody disagrees with it. Children and minors should not have access to marijuana, but why do you want to punish adults for the sins of the children?


I wish it were true but no way will Canadian politicians listen that the public wants drastically reduced immigration, so demand for housing in major cities will keep increasing.


If the Greens align with the NDP then BC woud have a decent government for the first time in years.


Yes, we are such a world power that we can't even pay for medication for our elderly or find housing for our homeless. You liberals love to be compassionate while reaching into other people's pockets.


"...bring in a inheritance tax."
An inheritance tax to level the playing field? How about everyone play at the same level instead of arbitrarily taking wealth from those who earn it and giving it to those who don't? We have become a country divided on the lines of those who earn and those who want to "share" in those earnings. Why has it become a sin to amass wealth? Of course if the not-rich became rich they would change their thinking in a hurry.


Great article! One item though, you got the last name of the teacher incorrect. It's Gerke.


"Trickle down" says you will make the poor better off if you make the rich richer. It is an example of John Kenneth Galbraith's observation, "The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness."

Libertarians actually want some combination of plutocracy and corporatism. They are either too foolish to see this or too ashamed to admit it.

While draining the swamp may "need doing", Donald J. Trump certainly isn't "doing" it - going by observation of the 'swamp-critters' he has appointed to his Cabinet.

He's probably still using it.


Can you name a political candidate with national recognition that doesn't lie?   Does Donald Trump lie when he says the absurd, or does he just get credit for being honest about his ignorance?

I'm not a fan of Hillary Clinton, the Clinton's passion for attention is not attractive.    They are political creatures -not exactly a compliment.    I find Hillary more experienced and far less distasteful from the bombastic egotist Trump, or the self-rightous Cruz.  She will have my vote if that's what it comes down to.

I'll live with the winner and hope they do the best for their country.   I understand that the winner is not going to share my priorities on many things.   None of us are going to get everything we want personally.

Ford alone sold 2.5 million vehicles in 2013. How many vehicles has Tesla sold since first production? I believe the number is around 186,000, although they aren't really strong on supplying the numbers. One thing is for sure, Elon Musk has received 4.9 billion for his ventures.


Wrong ... this was planned well before this. 4/25 received a one year extension, a year ago. That was based on the drawdown plans TWO years ago. Going back to the box happened recently... like the last 45 days.

Do we know more now than 4000 years ago about the purposes of sex and the desires of men and women, natural and unnatural? What "new knowledge" has been given us by God that would reverse 2000 years of constant Church teaching and practice about men, women, love, sex and marriage?

As Jesus said:

"Haven’t you read, that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”

Alaska will go broke for a long time

 and the Trans Alaska Pipeline will shut down.
No, no it won't

This will cause the state to lose 90% of it’s funding and no wise oil companies will do any meaningful business with the state of Alaska because of it’s bait and switch tactics that will harm its reputation for decades!!
Not happening

Alaska has many undiscovered huge oil fields but if HB 247 is made law they may never be found or produce and the all other depleted fields will run dry and Alaska economy will die!!
If they're undiscovered, how do you know they're there? Are you sitting on seismic data that no one else knows about?

Considering your lack of knowledge on what exactly is an oppressive state and what is not, you are not in any state of reason to differentiate anything unless it fits your delusional state of history. Believe it or not, we live in the freest nation in the world but yet you think this is a police state. What will you say if you were living in any other nation but ours....? You will run out of proper nouns to describe other nations. And living in a nation such as ours,,,,,,we got more criminals then any other nations that you mentioned, and more armed criminals. Ignorance such as yours.....is sad. It is no wonder that you hide behind a pseudonym, least you become known to your friends, family and co-workers for writing such crap.


Big shocker from Gary Mason.... Even Notley realized the chanters were not representative of any major group - her dismissal of the chant was respectable even if I don't agree with her policies. The cbc anchor was clearly disappointed when Notley didn't entertain the narrative that it was "oil workers", portrayed like the first X-Men movie in terms of backwoods northern Alberta cage fighters.  Canada has over one hundred billion dollars of projects on hold due to the vocal minority of job-killing professional protesters. Career activists have turned into a national liability - Canada has the "stuff" the rest of the world needs and our biggest impediment to progress is domestic Naomi Klein-style hypocrites. When a vocal minority of ignorant blowhards can hijack the discussion on nation-building projects, it's a sign of regression as a society. The "green" economy doesn't exist, note 13+ years of Ontario Liberal incompetence for reference


Tough to reconcile with shredding in útero, but there I go again... maybe just being too scientific for ya.

The issue will be solved when another site is found. That wasn't the only place that was feasible. Given the climate of islamophobia the Muslim community is sensitive to being rejected on this proposal but I am sure another site will be found where a zoning change is not needed.

"... our only recourse is to remove our Children from a secular ideologically focused education system."
Teaching safe sex is not ideology.
It is like teaching kids to wash their hands.
This comes down to reason versus medieval, backward beliefs that sex is somehow bad.
The state needs to protect children from fanatical anti-science Christians and Muslims.


A bit (?) of an omission in this article is any mention of the travails of Post Media. This is a great (i .e. bad) example of a leveraged buyout that makes money for the hedge fund while destroying the company. Should there be laws to ban this type of dysfunctional behavour or does business have a license to do whatever?

The crisis is in small communities without a local paper. There is no viable solution via government subsidy. It is not a solution to create a government subsidized news media monopoly in a local market.

Fake news is another problem. It has always existed; partisans 'know' evil when they see it! We have to have faith that people will eventually understand the false equivalency of science = hoax. Perhaps the comments on this article will provide some hope that this is possible! ; )

It may be that you're defining Rock'n Roll too narrowly.  I can remember an interview with Pete Townsend in Rolling Stone that appeared in 72 or 73 in which he claimed that no one would ever be able to define Rock'n Roll, "... they can say what it isn't, but never what it is."

Anyway, try to keep in mind that the RRH of F has a broader mandate than just providing a space for aging rock stars to congratulate each other.  There is supposed to be space dedicated to root musics, especially the blues and folk.  Related music, like rockabilly, ska and reggae.

As someone with both a colostomy and urostomy I would like to see it mandated that there be a shelf in every handicap stall.  A shelf is a simple thing but absolutely necessary for changing ostomy bags, catheterizing, or even for diabetics or those that have to use a peri bottle.
A shelf is such a simple thing but almost every handicapped stall is designed for wheelchairs, not for other medical conditions.

So in other words, you do not believe in fact-based, rational dialogue - just chest-thumping, knuckle-dragging tribalism.  Yes, you have the right to be as ignorant as possible.  M103 is no threat to that.


An obvious negotiating tactic: draw a line in the sand and say, "It's this or nothing. Final offer."

If it passes it will be hailed as a great victory for the regime.

But the Senate will have even more difficulty passing the bill and will likely end up amending it. Perhaps the real plan is to get the house to pass the 'hard' version, then the Senate waters it down, then the house ends up reluctantly agreeing to the watered-down version.


How about this this, Outsider--how about we call Japanese Americans and Japanese nationals "Japs" again? It's a shortened version, easier, no big deal. The kids in school now wouldn't mean any disrespect by using the word, no? There are things in history that still hurt, and the reaction of "get over it" does not address how they hurt then and how the regurgitation of that ugliness still hurts and resonates today. I can tell you that word stings me and I wasn't alive for WWII. You may have not grown up understanding that there were people, fellow countrymen, who HATED your ancestors, who singled them out as "other" and treated them as less-than. You ignore the history and struggle that some Americans have fought and still fight to be considered equal.


Is there another media?  But yes, it appears the SA approves his unbiased reporting on rail even though the SA is heavily brain-washed on rail.


Once again, this is about Trump. And your alt right cr*p about a guy who is no longer in office doesn't excuse the horrific criminal currently in the Oval Office. If you can't speak to anything related to the present, then I'll put you on ignore where you belong for adding nothing of value to current topics.

G'day.


Ofer in reg in Feb, 0-7-6.  Those wins in extras, last 2 nights via 4-on-3 PP, meaningless.

If you think your window closes in a yr or 2, and the Subban trades says you do, then you pick up the scorer you need to take your shot.  No guarantees, and in fact, it probably won't work out, as these things almost never do, but you do it anyway.

Same position as 2 yrs ago.  You know from that experience what not to do.  You gotta go for it.


Referring to Manning as “she,” “her” and “women” is liberalism gone crazy.  Bradley Manning was born male.   No name change or surgery can change that.


You can thank the Republic Party, which has controlled the legislature for most of the last 35 years for the $6 billion state budget.


There is a big problem with PZP in that it causes an eroding of the natural vigor of the wild horses and weakens there immune system leading to their decline. It also disrupts their social order. For this reason, I see it as a false solution. -- Yes, the Little Bookcliffs have excellent natural barriers and this area would lend itself so well to Reserve Design to assure genetically long-term viable, ecologically well adapted, and naturally self-stabilizing populations, or herds, of mustangs without coating their most intimate sexual organs with chemicals derived from ground-up pigs ovaries, which on the face of it should send up some mighty red flags, especially to biologists who understand physiology. You can read about my Reserve Design proposal at www.gofundme.com/mstngreservedesign. I have presented this to the BLM on several occasions. It is the right way forth for all concerned.


You write: "Le Pen's platform is based on hatred of the Other"

really? How so?  Could you actually quote a single policy from her platform that was based on 'haste'?  No, I am not interested in summary characterisations (like yours) by partisan-political pundits and ideologues. I simply want some facts.

Note: She changed her party's platform significantly, after she kicked he father (the founder) out of the Party, and already announced that they are going to change also the name of the party). So, if you decide to provide some facts as evidence, they should be from the last election campaign, and not some ten-year old- media headline.


Health care just keeps on getting more and more monolithic/monopolistic.

Now, even the local 900-lb gorilla can't protect itself from the 9000-lb King Kong's.


You think he can just "hire more officers" after the fiscal mess Sullivan left him to fix? While the outcry over the idea of increased property taxes under Berkowitz was nuclear in proportion? How exactly do you want Ethan to "fix it" while - let me guess - not costing you one single dime?


We already had a state- wide ballot on whether or not to raid the Permanent Fund in 1999.  Alaskans overwhelmingly voted against the raid with 83% voting "NO".

Raiding the Permanent Fund to subsidize Big Oil is unconscionable.  It would cost a family of four $4,000.00 per year.  This raid will place Alaska into a recession, causing even greater damage as the real estate Alaskans own declines in value along with the population exodus from Alaska.


Why the Sally Yates Hearing Was Very Bad News for the Trump White House

Are you referring to the Chris Jackson incident?


And I will defend your right to do so.


He sees the handwriting on the wall and he's starting to grasp all the straws trying to hang in there.


Because you are wrong.


If I start a religion that bans clothing do all of the members have the right to walk around naked in public based on freedom of religion? I’m reversing the evidence of the argument by going to the other extreme to prove a point.


Gary,  I believe you give TC who definitely isn't TR way too much credit for Machiavellian thought and ability but I could be wrong.  I would have never guessed that Hillary vs Donald would be our "Clash of the Ridiculous" with cameo appearances by Gary Johnson and Jill Stein as real people with real values in our Mel Brooks presidential selection farce.  I find it hard to believe that if Hillary or Donald are elected they will have any credibility with anyone.  Power yes, respect, no.

The late night comedians are licking their chops now.


They just slashed the armed forces budget, now they want to get us involved in a pointless war?


Yes, a manual with authority, meaning that it is NOT just the words of some ancient people with their own ideas and opinions. We do not have to follow it, we can follow our own way and will, but then,  we should not be surprised  if we find ourselves lost and in darkness.


My first ever boogie board experience as a kid was at the Wall in Waikiki. I had no idea what I was doing. I got run over and it was my fault. So my older, way bigger cousin asked me did that dude run you over? Yeah. My cousin chased the guy all the across the sand and caught him in Kapiolani Park. Guy caught cracks. Then we ate a plate lunch at Rainbows. Welcome to Hawaiian surfing brother.


The answer to your question is yes. It was only after his conviction that Pope Francis agreed to a second dismissal. The protection of children from abuse by clergy under canon law depends on whether the child happens to be living in a jurisdiction with adequate civil reporting laws. The Inzoli case followed the same advice that Cardinal Bergoglio gave to an Argentinian bishop – suspend the offending priest, and put him on a canonical trial. There was no mention of reporting to the civil authorities. Argentinian law then had no reporting requirement. The canonical trial system is similar to the European continental system which is an investigative process, more like an inquest or grand jury investigation under the Anglo/American system. There is nothing wrong with that kind of process, except that the canonical trial is subject to the strictest secrecy.


"...This was nothing more than a publicity stunt by the House..."

It was nothing of the kind kiddo. It was the House doing the only thing it could do to save the PFD program from being raided and destroyed by Micciche and the Senate.
It was,..what`s a good word... "Brilliant" and "Honorable" come to mind.
Publicity stunts, as you term it, don`t cut it in the real world of Alaska politics.  The people who will lose jobs, lose education and career opportunities, from a Senate refusal to act like adults are not a publicity stunt I`m afraid.  https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/trickle-down-economics-is-a-nightmare-kansas-proved-it/2017/06/12/c2d7aae0-4fa6-11e7-91eb-9611861a988f_story.html?utm_term=.dde925b15ecb


Let's see how well the banks do when interest rates do finally rise and large numbers of people walk away from their homes.


"Humane traps" ... that's an oxymoron.  Imagine your dog chewing its leg off because it was caught in a trap.  Imagine going for a stroll and having your leg crushed in a trap, and being stranded for days in terrible pain.  Traps are NOT "humane".  And this cruelty is unnecessary -- it only feeds vanity.  No one NEEDS fur to survive.

Canada was founded on cruelty and greed (fur trade).   Nothing to be proud of.


What a load.  907 is anything but a troll, but of course being a TROLL yourself, you assume everyone is one also. Sad.


There is nothing to be proud of winning in Illinois, your knowledge of US history is pitiful, Chicago is biggest political joke in the USA right above old school Montgomery. Community organizer means he handed out flyers. Harvard means he played some sick fraternity games. BIG is just that a BIG joke. So this AIT (attorney in training) is somehow qualified to be president?


Very true. However there is a huge difference between the public course down the street and the snobbish elite golf courses that the politicians tend to favour.


Reese is reporting on a 2016 survey results by a reputable organization. If statistical data with statistical analysis are merely "superficial conclusions".  You might as well say that a Donald Trump impersonator was really on those tapes.


New word for me, too.   ;-)  I would have guessed it ultimately derived from the Latin "cacare" (to defecate upon ), and referred to "... government by s***heads ..."

... which could mean most government, most of the time (alas) ... :-/


With all respect, I am not being snarky here: "What" was brought back to entice visitors? `Olelo Hawai`i?
You are surely not suggesting that our wonderful immersion schools, Hawaiian focused cultural education programs, and `Aha Punana Leo are HTA tools, are you?
And for clarity, ALL languages that were NOT English were prohibited in SCHOOLS in 1896, not just Hawaiian--and that was only in SCHOOLS, not among families or in public.
To say that "speaking" Hawaiian was "outlawed" is very misleading.


Tract, not track.  And while it is a tract now it won't be for long.  The bros will break it up into separate ownerships to try to qualify each lot for a dwelling.

And with all the stump removal, who will ever know there was once a forest before it was sold under the table to the bros


This witch hunt needs to stop. So the guy likes jacking off in front of women. If you feel offended, turn the other way. I mean, really. He wasn't exactly holding a gun now.


It's a different culture, Helton was reverred by the players his last 4-5 years when he didn't produce at a journeyman level let alone the highest paid player on the team (sans the last 2 where he had reworked the deal).  Other sports they look at the salary he is consuming and not producing and compare that to where that money could go on other players to make you better, but the baseball culture is different. Doesn't make sense to me but Cargo or Helton, or I'm sure Pujolos who is still owed 120M while his skills erode right before your eyes are treasured in the club house.


Characterize the NYTimes and Chas Blow any way you wish, any way at all. The reality is Trump lied and he lied  serious and big time. Simple enough to anyone who paid attention is what he said often was untrue.  So MR.OR Ms. alaska61flyer, have at it.  Be unobservant and then brag about it. Your privilege to bare it all.


No, no....not quite fair, dear peers.....
Annie does not get to make her insinuations and offer her judgments without me being allowed to defend myself.  THAT would be uncivil....

Point out to me the lies I have told that give him the right to call me a liar.

Go ahead. I dare you.

What you mean to say, I think, is that his liberal leanings are more in accord with yours....and that, apparently, gives him the right to make judgments and call others names.

Well. As I said...I dare you. Or I, for one, will accept your apology.


My only objection to Uber is that its business model is based on exploitation.


Hi Obolu, thanks for the heads up — there was an edge case with your citizenship parameters that was returning an incorrect date. I've corrected it now, and you should see the right application date (to within a few days, since it depends on leap years and a few other factors).

Try reading my comments, nothing was made up.


na you're way off base and way too emotional!


Spoken like the 50cents you are.  If there are to be nuclear hostilities and exchanges, it won’t matter if Japan and South Korea get “wiped out”. We’d all be back in a Cold War MAD scenario.  No one, including your billion comrades, would win.


It's all for the Olympics.  Nobody asked us but we have already started paying for it: rather than ask people to spend a gazillion dollars to pay for them our savvy bureaucrats just started doing as many of the necessary projects 20 years early.  When in doubt, the voting records of Rafael Espinoza and Paul Kashmann are a handy indicator of when we are getting screwed: if they don't like it then it probably sucks.


Oh C'mon now. I didn't say 420 WAS a factor..... I said it COULD HAVE BEEN. Why do y'all get so defensive about it?


Don't you already have enough traitors working on Capital Hill?


Thanks. That thought has made me feel much better since last November. Not.
My best hope is that if/when trump is impeached/resigns then pence will be too scared of more impeachments, to follow thru on his religious-based agenda.


Hey Alaska! You elected this jerk. Stop whining deal with the next two years? You will relect another dumbA@# anyways.


CBC and liberal Canadians, led by our illustrious leader, epitomize this smugness.


Let's go, Na Wahine...


Canadians are very capable of moving beyond the Indian Act.  The question is, are First Nations ready, and willing, to move beyond?


I think there is a trend towards absolutism (or maybe just rigidness of thought) not that it is absolutist completely. And not just with feminism.


Rare huh? Not in our Armed Forces.  Speaking as an RN, I never once in my 22 year career heard anyone comment anything about the physical attributes of one of our patients male or female.


Two separate issues.

Then they are happy to not let their vote count.


Social license is a crock!!


Your comment is horse crap.


X Company which ran on CBC for three seasons was pretty good.


A series of giant Ferris wheels:  That's what Scarborough needs.

People would simply leap from wheel to wheel as they traversed the burbs on their way to work downtown.


Dam straight, Phesoj.  That's exactly the issue.  The old guy was comfortable with firearms and would not have missed a couple of tree cutters at point blank range so the issue isn't that he shot anyone and it isn't that he shot at anyone.  He didn't.

Now, what are the defensible options available to someone responsible for escalating this from irresponsible discharge of a weapon to public execution?

There are none.

Just for the record, I don't have any issue with what the officers did and I expect that they should have done exactly what they were told.  I have an issue with the poor management responsible for this debacle.

...and Rachael, you will get your wish.  As the economy trickles to a stop there will be fewer dollars in the system to squander on nuisance issues.  All of us will get your wish and thankfully so.


Um, it does, it takes several minutes before your post is published. Until it is, you have every opportunity to correct punctuation, or your view, or whatever you want. It's called edit.
Maybe it should be included in C.R.S. pocket manual? See how that works? I just edited and added the three last sentences :)


Sad to say elected bureaucrats are pandering to the unions, just adding more pension debt to the already breaking backs of taxpayers.

What they should be doing is following San Diego's lead where all newly hired city employees are covered by a 401k plan. This lets the city budget for its part of 401k contributions. Immune from spiking and unions always demanding more and more and more money but not higher work quality, more efficiency.

In the coming years pension costs will continue their explosive growth, taking away money from city core infrastructure requirements, where money really needs to go.

Just another day in the little 10th world of Hawaii Nei.


Yes, you will hear more from me!


Oh brother. Please.


Well put Stephen. I always wondered how it came about that the two cows I had to milk at the farm school I attended , came to the same spot in the dairy every morning. There were over a 100 cows in that dairy , but unerringly , each one had its spot. Maybe , that is what they are bargaining on.


Clearly you have never had any dealings with CRA. In a reassessment CRA can arbitrarily disallow deductions and include income as they see fit. The onus is then 100% on the taxpayer to disprove CRA allegations to the satisfaction of......the CRA. While the taxpayer is busy trying to figure out and find supporting documents for individual transactions that occurred years ago, the CRA has the authority to freeze bank accounts, paralyzing you financially. Their sweeping power would make the Spanish Inquisition jealous.

If CRA writes off an outstanding tax debt as uncollectible, it is with out a doubt uncollectable. Nothing to do with the Tories as you allege.


Keep paying your union dues.  Do you see how loyal they are to their people?

Who allowed THAT knucklehead in our country?


it is about time that Americans learn the truth about basic income, it is actually basic Principal Secured Creditor as owner of the beneficial interest of the accounts held at the Treasury. Truth has been hidden for too long and the usurpation by the attorneys/brokers who usurp it using the identity to access accounts at the Fed Window. All debts are prepaid and your signature is the collaterol not the house/car/refridgerator. All are due redemption and the propaganda hiding it all is no longer able to be hidden. Attorneys and brokers keep all the theft going and our estates are NOT for sale, not for trespass and this has to be cleaned up, give back that which is the American man/womans and shut down the usuprpation. It is time for America to heal, our President has promised no American will go unheard again. Be heard, claim your estate and tell all to cease and desist trespass.


"It simply does not matter what Bevirt or anyone else thinks about the project."

This is not only incorrect, it's the sort of argument that people should be cautious making. Mr Hargreaves might not be bothered by this particular project, but it's entirely possible that a different, equally legal, project could come around that is less acceptable to him.

We have a right to speak out about what is happening in our communities, and we have a right to petition the government with our grievances. The opinions of the citizenry must matter. To argue otherwise is to argue for tyranny.

I expect that Mr. Hargreaves agrees with this, as he took the time and effort to express his own opinion. He wouldn't have done that if he thought it didn't matter.


No predators, except bears getting an occasional calf.


That stadium was privately funded meaning over 40000 had to buy the seat PUPs and a guarantee to buy tickets for life or until they sell the PUP. So the point is a lot of people bought tickets and no showed. You seem to be more of the drama queen.

Just wondering why the government didn't check this all out with the EU before making the announcement, as one would think that would be a standard practice, or at least common courtesy.


Leave Trudeau out of this.


Agree with everything you wrote except comment about height ... women may prefer taller men, but don't believe the hype that it's a sure thing.

Reality is that there are some women out there who have their "sh!t" together and don't follow the mass hysteria that seems to describe too many women these days.

Women who chase those "tall tugged men" typically have their own problems long before they get into relationships and if a woman can't see you for who you are and recognize your worth then you're better off without her.

I'd suggest you stop chasing those women and do what you love to do, live the best life you can and likely you will meet a decent woman who recognizes you as a great guy.

Be grateful for the women who turn you down -- they're probably doing you a huge favour!


Wanna be gangsters, punks, nothing more. The killing of children should give them the death penalty, but then Colorado is so full of liberals, most of them will walk, and the rest will have to attend anger management


Read this quote from the very story on which you are commenting. The quote can also be found in the OP's comment to which I replied. “Because you’re basically taking away a constitutional right to freedom of speech,” he told reporters. I am at a loss to explain how you could miss such a clear clue, but perhaps facts are less important to you than an agenda?

The players themselves have said that, many, many of their supporters have said that. TV and radio hosts have said it. So, yes some people are missing that point.

No, I'm most definitely not a republican. The GOP is as pointless as the DNC, though probably not as corrupt.


Clearly Trump does not speak for US government policy so why is he there?

It sounds like an attempt to control what citizens can bring to an election even though the Oregon Constitution guarantees voter's rights to put local issues on the ballot. It looks like a deliberate attempt to thwart the group opposing spraying herbicides, who are gathering signatures for a ballot initiative.


Whether a political leader can be a woman or not is hotly debated among Islamic scholars. Not so among Christian leaders. The trend is for more women leaders in the west, and fewer among muslim majority countries. One of Canada's Prime Ministers was a woman, Kim Campbell. In August 1993, a Gallup Canada poll showed Campbell as having a 51 percent approval rating, which placed her as Canada's most popular prime ministers in 30 years.  In the US, no strong, likable female leader has emerged. When one does, no doubt she will elected. There have been 6 leaders of muslim nations, Megawati of Indonesia, Benazir Bhutto of Pakistan, Khaleda Zia, of Bangladesh, Tansu Çiller of Turkey, Hasina Wajed of Bangladesh and Mame Madior Boye of Senegal, all relatively recent. Much lower percent than in the west. Expect the gap to grow.


Those diary people!!  Always writing!!  Be bold Bernier!  You got this!


Let's see - I have read it will take the USA 10 years to get the Wolfcamp shale producing, so we have a decent market until then. Better get some pipelines built to alternate buyers.

How about straight up?


Rather than having to give prisoners 'their day in court', after the fact, how about hiring a prisoners' ombudsman who handles their complaints, issues or advocates for them to ensure 'solitary' isn't abused by prison officials?  In our society any impingement of personal rights and freedoms isn't exercised solely by someone in a position of authority, even a jail guard or governor.  There should also be an option for prisoners themselves to sequester themselves from the general population temporarily and for good reason.

There should be a hearing and tribunal (possibly containing elected prisoners representatives) before imposing prison penalties.


Nope, just confidence that the owner has a modicum of knowledge.


Compared to this one, all preceding presidents were geniuses.

Why don't the doctors en masse exit OHP and other provincial plans? They would be able to set their own rates ( like dentists, physiotherapists, chiropractors and optometrists ) and health plans would reimburse according to a prescribed schedule by insurers. In the age of electronic payments, the doctors cash flow would be secure and doctors would be allowed to charge less to patients not able to afford it. All that they would not be able to do is directly bill a government plan like OHIP. For too long, the doctor's have allowed the government's fiscal problem to become their own. The government would be unable to stop the strategy.

Very good article.  You touched on most of the reasons, but left out on a few.  One is her arrogance not to campaign in Wisconsin or Michigan.   Another is her deplorable comment concerning Trump supporters.  I believe this was big as it showed her opinion of Americans, and she gave the impression it was her due to be elected. And lastly it was her choice to avoid press conferences.  This gave the impression she had something to hide.


Robert, I can't believe you are still trying to outrun those whales still. It didn't work in the early nineties, why would it work now. The next generation is upon you and they have learned from their parents. Good luck my man.

Oh, and 4000 gallons, really? Seems like you could travel from Dutch to Seattle in the Oracle with that amount of fuel.

Aside from the fact that the whales are pretty much taking money right out of you hand, it's something when they swim right up to the boat and look at you as they are doing it.

Nice ride...


'Land of the brave...' so long as your words don't frighten us... and the 'home of the free'.. so long as you say what we want to hear and you don't disagree with us... The differences between the administration about to take office, and the foreign administrations the US has historically opposed, are narrowing daily.

The truth is somewhat painful and those that support(ed) Trump have now come to realise that their veneer is thin and showing them to be made of the same xenophobic and misogynistic material. Incredibly, many of them are women. And I really don't care for Meryl Streep. Has another President or President Elect been so patently insecure ?


I think a lot of folks around Eugene have watched the "local" craft breweries grow......and for some, grow and grow.  They take pride in having supported them since they were small struggling startups.  ....and, let's face it, those small craft breweries are the antithesis of the huge (often international) corporate mega-breweries.  They feel, I'm sure, somewhat victimized when a local brewery sells a controlling interest to one of those mega-corpoate breweries.  This is likely most true for the most loyal fans of the local (to an extent, now "formerly" local) craft brewery.

Hop Valley will lose some customers.  That's life.  However, if the info published and the info I received from a staff member is accurate, local management, policies and brewing practices will not change and they will continue to produce some great beers.  Frankly, if the sale DOES impact the practices, policies and quality of beer, IMO, it's then time for customers to abandon Hop Valley .


Because it's a follow-up to the earlier story about the cemetery issue in nearby Saint-Apollinaire that was hugely popular, drawing thousands of comments - including yours.  That's what makes events newsworthy.  You're welcome.

Klastri, there are many types of trench digging machines, many of them track vehicles that can travel over rough terrain.  The construction industry also uses track and wheel-driven cranes that are capable of traversing rough terrain and they come in many sizes to meet contractors’ need.  Do some research and see for yourself. You must think the people who run the companies that get the contracts are idiots and do not know how to overcome the challenges you mention without having to build interstate highways. I am not suggesting it will be easy, but American ingenuity has always been able to overcome challenges to get the job done.


Native Hawaiians already receive vast amounts of taxpayer assistance. Helping one group does not preclude the need to help other groups.

Mean while the  reactionary bishops appointed under JPii and Benedict xvi are so desirous of their back door channels and whispering innuendo- they are consolidating control with their reactionary priests, bred in the seminary to be the storm troopers to save the good and faithful Catholics from those radical priests and even the current occupant of the Chair of St Peter.

A Vatican visitation is in order of the seminaries in this country, starting with St Charles B in Philadelphia and Mount St. Mary's in Emmitsburg.


Do the bishops believe that they possess all the answers, before listening? If so, then theirs is folly and shame (Proverbs 18:13).
Will they listen, but not hear and understand? If so, then there will be no changing of ways, and no healing (Matthew 13: 13 to 15).

If dope is considered a medicine then why is it not simply sold in pharmacies? Separate "dispensary" , why? The same logic would be to establish a separate "dispensary" for any other prescription drug. The whole idea stinks and smells of imbecility.


Alliance, um, what?

Here is the question exactly as I stated it:

"IS IT THEN fair, reasonable, logical or ethical to PUSH WITH POLICIES for ALL those workplaces to become as close to 50/50 men and women as possible?"

And to that question you reply, "the question is kind of irrelevant."

Hello?

Irrelevant?

Uh, Alliance, I think you need to look around, oh, say at Trudeau's picks for his initial cabinet, and at thousands of application forms across Canada for everything from scholarships to job applications to school admission forms. Ever heard of affirmative action over the past few decades?

Irrelevant? Hardly!


Bear in mind I know nothing about the bus operation business, but I often see the big buses with just one or two passengers. Would it be possible to run some much smaller vehicles at the slow times or on the less used routes? I see little buses carrying people to hospitals, churches, etc. Seems like they would use less fuel.


Why?
Because he's calling out and shaming rich countries that are not pulling  their  financial weight in NATO?
BTW, Canada isn't either, and will be called to task on it soon enough.
Americans are tired of paying for your defence,  while you get a free ride.


Why the continued "gloom and doom" and darkness theme in so many NCR articles?  Rarely a day goes by without some author jotting out a too hastily written article on some gloom topic...darkness, pain, abuse, oppression,  disaster, shadows, crisis, angst, anguish, bad memories, did I say pain already?

It's easy to write about gloominess.

The Christian message is one of hope, liveliness, intimacy with God, growth, positiveness, cheerfulness, beginning again, energy, beauty, goodness, reconciliation, work, solving problems for others, vitality, resiliency.

Not getting any of that in the "naitsirhC" message of NCR.

I think he may be referring to the fact that Hillside doesn't get patrolled and has minimal emergency services. Though that was over 10 years ago since I lived up there.... Or he really meant it, which is an ignorant thing to say. who knows.


When Siemian left the Tampa Bay game Denver was ahead. Regarding the Carolina game...well if we want to play woulda, coulda, shoulda Siemain gave the Broncos 3 different leads vs the Chiefs in Denver. Like Bill Parcels once said...you are what your record says you are.

Nah, I don't waste brain cells remembering the faces of the many politicians.  Yes, the mainstream media is pretty much a homogeneous mass and this artist dude managed to get his photo published in the media which was likely his choice and the media's choice for disseminating it.  Other folks and at other times would have considered the photo to be partisan and in poor taste as it demeans without substance.  Kinda like publishing a photo of somebody picking their nose.


More like there hasn't been anything as refreshingly original since.


To "Another Commentator for Hire"
This is about a police officer being ambushed and you are blaming it on an addict, who became one because of a doctor, and Purdue Pharmaceuticals who sold doctors on OxyContin telling them it was harmless and not addictive? Wow I had no idea it was that simple. And Doctors were so gullible. I'm not saying illegal drug use is not an epidemic. But spice and meth are worse and have no use except getting high. Ambushing a policeman is the last thing a drug addict is going to do to get drugs. Or money for drugs.

This is not a distraction as the author asserts. It is a point of law and needs clarification. Also, if the Supreme Court makes a bad decision, it provides a crack in the Permanent Fund that legislators and administrations have been hoping for so they can raid the PF.


Any chance I can hitch a ride, I need to turn myself in too. I'm guilty of feeding way too many chickadees, nuthatches, grosbeaks and yes, I've been feeding the hummingbirds too.


Being sheltered all your life does have some draw backs. They both seem like intelligent people. so I just don't quite understand what they expected. After the way the Donald has acted all his adult life they should have known they were headed to a snake pit that would try to eat them alive.

The real world isn't like being a reality TV show host with a twitter account is it?

Let's hope this kind of absurdity doesn't lead to something devastating like a war because he heard some random crap a talk show host said.


It's important not to confuse business with politics.  Anyone who has been following it knows that Hydro One is a fine business with a bright future.  As a business, it is not greatly affected by the vagaries of its share price, but for investors, as Warren Buffet has observed, having the share price stay low while you are buying is a blessing, not a problem.

I've been surprised at how well the share price has held up, considering the large block that the underwriters have been stuck with.  They seem willing to remain patient and sell  their shares off gradually, although I wouldn't mind if they dumped them, providing a buying opportunity for the rest of us.

All this stuff about provincial indebtedness and the travails of the Wynne government is relevant for politics, but not for Hydro One.

An NDP government will be disastrous for business development of any kind in Canada.  B.C. in particular, is full of 1960 suburban car-centric communities.  Take a look at Langford, on Vancouver Island as a prime example of maintaining  this out-dated formula.  Kids can't walk to school and the shops are miles away from newly constructed homes.  One has to drive a car to get anywhere.  Ironically , they are building geo-thermal homes as a token of being environmentally friendly community.  I hate space heaters and  prefer gas heat , fireplaces and stoves any day and do not want to rely solely on electricity as  a source of energy.   I've lived through too many power failures and electricity is more expensive.  Cars are the biggest polluters and we need gas supply - keep the mega-projects going !


The Proud Boys have been tried and convicted in the court of mass media, and in the court of the federal administrative complex of two egregious offences:

1. Publicly disagreeing on policy issues with an Aboriginal group.

2. Being white males.

Everybody knows, you can do one or the other but it is an unforgivable offence to do both.


Mott, I personally love all of the legalese and such, but to quote them to the gun haters is pointless IMO. They don't care what the Law IS, they care what the Laws Should Be (in their opinion).

BTW, I thought I read that the Tax Fee to own a Full Auto was around $365 now ?
And talk about requirements for that License, you have to be "squeeky clean."

I believe the Key to the mystery of this shooter's motive is Did he have the license? Did he legally purchase the rifle that was used? Was only One gun used out of the many he had with him? If he did Not legally buy the gun where did he get it?  I think knowing the answers to these and other questions could lead to
some unexpected answers.


It is amazing, but also instructive and at the same time scary that pieces like this can be published about one of the most murderous and totalitarian political systems and ideologies - yet you can be fired and kicked out of polite society for challenging diversity policies, global warming, not hating Trump/Brexit or a variety of politically correct doctrines enforced by the clerisy. It seems like we are already a fair bit on our way back to the good old Soviet days...


Well there is always the CFL.  I wonder how he feels about standing for the Canadian national anthem?


Very good! How are you on capitals?


He may not last that long in prison. Prisoners have no respect for child abusers/killers.

Chances are very good if Peter is not in solitary confinement he could be taken out by other inmates. No one would see anything.

Prison justice making up where civil justice fails.


Not for everyone, and certainly not always for the poor or for people who feel the need for one away from home or their businesses (if they happen to own them).  And certainly not for people who have just had a TRO imposed upon a violent spouse and who feel the need for a defensive firearm RIGHT NOW without the - sometimes purely administrative or bureaucratic - delays of waiting periods or background checks.  Those folks.

You do realize that NK started shooting off test missiles before he took office right? That they ignored the deals with Obama and continued their nuclear program? That the only think they understand is strength?

If Trump were to act like Obama and ask for a photo op we would be in the same place, but with NK using the nuclear device on one of our allies.

You hatred of Trump should not allow NK a pass, and it definitely it should not allow a pass to Obama, Bush, and Clinton.

Trump is now forced to deal with their mess.


Sadly Romanism is rife with such heinous acts under the guise of Holy Mother Church, part and parcel of its sordid, frenzied past.  Most educated Catholics recognize this and reject the militant aspects of "her" teachings... others still secretly root for the punishment of Christians and other outspoken non-Catholics; plain and simply, these are called Taliban Catholics and they are neither Christian nor Catholic.


This is OLD NEWS. He said he was leaving LAST MONTH! Before all this "phony baloney,plastic banana" stuff  the Dimms have been throwing out there.

Rep. Chaffetz just wants some time off. "Mid Life Crisis".Doesn't like sleeping on a cot.Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Yeah right! I would miss my Family too!
But the MSM headline partially reads;

Condolences to the biker ohana.  So many drivers in a rush to save a few seconds.  How about sharing the road and being more careful to save lives?  Right of way can also be unsafe movement.  Aloha.


The problem with Schirokauer's statement is that this was not precipitated by natural factors but by human caused one's. This is not only true for the recently killed alpha male but it actually dates back to Feb 2005 when Coke Wallace killed the alpha female of East Fork. This has caused an unrelenting series of disruptions including the dispersal of the alpha male to the south where he was shot south of Cantwell in April of 2005 leaving six 1-2 year olds.

Since that time, the disruption caused by these 2005 deaths have lead to severe territorial shifting to the east & then north further exposing them to trapper/hunter caused deaths, changes in den sites, changes in use of the park road corridor, to the point where the primary family group of wolves with the longest lineage in Denali has seldom been seen since the summer of 2004.

A question to ask NPS is how can they manage for the overall population & give no consideration to the importance of individuals & family groups?


‘I thought it would be easier’

The difference between Trump and the professional politicians that preceded him is that he admits his surprise battling the bozos in Washington would be this difficult. Let's face it - NO ONE knows the complexities of POTUS until you've filled those shoes.


After two readings of the draft, I suggest you compose the music for calliope.

RR
You nailed it.
The woman leading the charge to solve the issue never mentioned the true root of the problem.  The  largest portion of the harms from illicit drug use are secondary to our obsession with prohibition.
It is going to get worse before it gets better.
I expect to soon see more designer drugs developed, aiming for incredible potency at minuscule doses. The opioid space is pretty well developed.   Likely next in line will be amphetamine congeners.
Prohibition didn't work with alcohol, and it is not going to work here.  Manufacture, quality control, regulate, and tax is the only adult solution to this problem.


Yup, and young non-Muslim men can "suddenly" decide to rob a bank or commit some other crime and nobody generalizes about all of French culture as a cause. Your logic is absurd and petty.


CanadaBob2,

So you're saying that the PC/Wildrose merger will hover up almost all the centrist and right-wing voters on a stable basis purely on a fiscally conservative platform (i.e. that social conservative vs social liberal issues will not yet again be too divisive)?

Clearly we differ on that assessment.


Well I was talking about public education in Hawaii. I don't think the system has failed, just not living up to its potential.  Money is not the whole answer but it is a major part of the answer when you are only paying 50% of the real good schools.  You end up getting what you pay for.   Frankly don't see how anyone can really disagree with this.


It's not after this election...Pres. Obama has faced the same toxicity...the senate hasn't voted on the Supreme Court nominee. The birth movement was not just DONALD! Sarah P was horrible...Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell had a scorched earth plan...how many votes on the affordable care act, 60 plus? There is not real equilivency, the radical right is 90+% to blame...rant radio, Faux news, even the editorial page of the WSJ is in on this...add the 800 channels and blogs and general stupidity. Climate change is real, facts based reality..sure there are different models for what will happen and most have turned out to be too conservative...yes science is conservative. There is no liberal media...most reporters I have meet are educated on some issues, aware and a bit libertarian. Cynical  or of like the police as they see so much supidity. But we need a common reality. Hillary is a terrible campaigner but will be a good, even great, president if you let her.

You are partially correct, Japan had been exploring ways to end the war with terms as favourable to them as possible as early as 1944. Further overtures were made through Swedish, Russian and Portuguese diplomatic channels through 1945. The stickler appeared to be the Allieds demand for an unconditional surrender which the Japanese rejected. The main concern was the preservation of the Emperor and his sovereign right to rule. It is sad that bombs were used to push for the unconditional surrender when the Allies use the Emperor to assist in maintain control during the occupation.


Begich might be a threat but not as bad as the threat of Obama poisoning us with chemtrails, male perverts in the girls lavatory, Muslims imposing sharia law, or the teaching of sex education in high schools.


I honestly can't believe that people CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT their electronic device constantly plastered to their person. Texting in theaters, while driving, give me a break. If communication is that important to you stay, home and communicate. I have a smart phone. If it goes off in the car I wait till I get where I'm going and handle it then. What did geeks do before the invention of the cell phone? They listened in on the party line. Get over it folks, your life will not blow up if you don't get on that text or call right away in the car. The convenience is nice to have available, but too risky for some braindead people to handle. PUT YOUR PHONE AWAY TILL LATER, we're all be safer for it.


The rail was to to alleviate traffic, that doesn't work so it was to create jobs, now you say it is to create slums.


The Blaze? Really?

Glenn Beck?

"Will do"?

Any credible sources, or just that?


RD, you make my job too easy.  It is Congress, you know the Republican led one that said it would do no work to make sure Obama didn't get reelected, that passes bills.  Obviously you weren't watching Schoolhouse Rock to see how a bill becomes law.


Awful lot of "they think" and "felt that" in your little wall of text, Parnell...


“To cut that out would be a really hard hit on our staffing and our ability to do what we have been doing and at the level we have been doing it over the past decades,” Vuylsteke, president of the East-West Center said."

Sadly, it's like veganism -- it's the beliefs that count, not the facts.  So surviving accidental ingestion has no bearing on the dietary preference.

All of the mainstream expert professional groups and their members .. America's Pediatricians, Family Physicians, Internal Medicine Specialists, Dentist, Pediatric Dentists, Public Health scientists etc etc know that fluoridation prevents cavities and is safe.  The fear mongering about enamel fluorosis is purposefully misleading.  Too much toothpaste or high natural fluoride is the cause of all the fluorosis of legitimate concern.  That associated with drinking water is not visible to casual examination and actually protects teeth from cavities.  . .credible scientific references available.    The decision to cease fluoridation will, as it did in Calgary, lead to more cavities.


What a sick and twisted comment. You are demented,  you Jenny....are uncivil as is this pretend news publication. Maybe next time some demented terrorists will kill some of your family to pay for the CIA's deeds, you are a pervert. Lets not forget that.

Cheers!


Donnie - I have never said you were a big fish, but you are a representative of the State GOP, I believe as a committeeman. Thanks for the mention.


Trudeau's thinking goes something like this: rules and standards are meant for people who are bad and who break rules and standards; Liberals are good and don't break rules and standards hence can go to a "pay for play" evening because they are not going to be influenced by what anybody says or does.  If they appear to have been influenced by doing something done or heard, it's only because they were going to do that anyway.  They certainly appreciated the money the nice business people brought to the party but it had no influence and they can't help it if bad people's minds are in the gutter and misinterpret their actions.  There, he's a clear as a bell.  If that doesn't convince you, it's because you're not trying.


Claude Julien gave the bruins a chance to win every night with the system he developed for the team. The team  lacks the talent and chemistry to compete. Those are the responsibility of the players and upper management. This was a classless and boneheaded move to use your most winning coach as a scapegoat, the season is over, not a chance they go 20-7 to finish the season.


Tucker Carlson Never Told Public He Made $150K From Trump


Because electricity can also come from solar and wind. But even if it comes from oil, you won't be using as much oil to get around and you don't have to stop at the gas station.  :-)


Good points.
"...to what extent is practicing one's religion parallel to a game?" I would suggest that it has value rather as metaphor, if only because the "difference" is or should be so clear that the lessons are or should be obvious. Fact is, some, actually treat life as a game and "rules" are tools, weapons, weaknesses even.
I see the article more about how one approaches rules rather than their source or of questioning them. For example, does the "legitimate authority" own them, as in umpire or referee. One could go a bit further with the more recent introduction of "challenges" and "replays" that suggest that "arbiters" of rules and authorities are indeed accountable - under certain conditions, of course .
I think "we" have a problem. Self-appointed intellectuals tend to begin with lofty concepts and pseudo commentaries and fail to recognize the real-life sources of learning of fact, principle, reason and conclusion, not to forget collegial discussion. Seems "edict" suffices.


Perhaps the answer is to stop devoting so much media attention to it, publicity that is ill deserved. Of course it is labelled as "raising awareness", but in reality it is filling the pages with the same old tedious message.

So 100 incidences of right wing violence in 30 years. 3 a year, possibly 4. Talk about overstating the threat.


Good to hear.  Be nice if Island Transit ran in the evenings for all the OLFers... not to mention all the public meetings that go on in the evenings.


Wait until the public sector pension defaults start to really roll.

The Dallas police pension is already on the rocks. Cops have been taking early retirement, and pulling their pensions out of the fund, because it's mathematically doomed.


We find that there is quite a bit of arrogance flowing out of Ottawa lately.


more alt left bs,, it was WAR!,, was it a crime to bomb dresdend then!! NO of course not,, it ended the war japan started and saved countless lives


Wait, fer real? That went to court?! And he WON?!? For the sake of honesty! We finally made it criminal to tell the truth, and it started here. How sickening. I mean, I kinda get it, being socially shunned sucks, but not being able to inform your community about dangerous individuals sucks even worse. It would be one thing if the allegations were false, but if they're true ... well ... if you don't like the consequences maybe you shouldn't have done the deed? I mean, I made the front page of my city's newspaper for being "different," on the heals of Columbine and on Mother's Day no less, and that was awkward as hell. It never even crossed my mind to accuse the newspaper of any misconduct. I was weird, apparently that was news, and they shared it. Well, fuck me then.


Lol.

No "good man in a storm" here.


Prove it. If you can state, unabashedly, in full and without qualification or preselection, as I can, that you love your country, I will gracefully bow out and say I may have been wrong about you. Herein lies the truth.


Probably on the cell like another petrol truck I saw yesterday. DAMMIT! You guys need to quit being cheap and get a hands-free setup if you can't leave the phone alone while you drive!!


Wtf, nowhere in scripture does it say that Elizabeth was a kid when married to Zachariah and nowhere does it say that Mary was a child when married to Joseph. That's a complete and utter fabrication. In fact, it says in Luke 1:42, "And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb." It says blessed art thou among WOMEN.


It is not Trump who his silencing any differing opinions, your dear left wing Prime Minister is.  It is not Trump who is not allowing free speech in University campuses and public spaces, it is the left wing.  It is not Trump who is re-writing the history our children are being fed in the school system by their so called progressive Teachers.  It is the left wing who are using any platform they can, especially the left agenda pushing media to try to over throw election results, to endlessly throw hate at the US President, to blow things completely out of context and proportion at any chance.  Trump is not innocent, but he most certainly is not the only guilty one here......how many books has Hilary brought out now along with snide remarks to her celebrity adorers?  How many items did Obama leave as a mine field for the next President?


Marijuana grows like this are not normal farm crops. How many alfalfa farmers protect their hay with AR-15s?  The assault weapons have a dangerous range of 2.2 miles.Many businesses and schools are within this range including Harrison school, South Lane School District, entire downtown Cottage Grove including the police department.
Health effects from breathing the stench long and short term are unknown.
Water useage was not studied prior to issuance of permits.
State and county agencies have been remiss in their duty to provide due diligence prior to issuing permits for these activities.  I am warning all of you that live within two miles of farmland. This might not affect you now, but you are subject to the same stench we are along with falling property values and wells drying up. This is not right.
Contact your County  Commissioner and state legislators.  Demand that they reclassify marijuana so we can have some control over our neighborhoods. Please speak up now don’t wait.


That is because I detected in some of the comments a tendency to condemn Islam (and Muslims) with harsh or judgmental language that is likely based on fear. Calling a writer and commenters "clueless" is nothing but bashing.


It sounds like, and is possible, that part of the submarine was sealed off. If no water got in there and they were trapped, its possible they passed from lack of oxygen and were entombed. If it's cool enough it could even prevent bacteria from taking the flesh because there's no air. So they could exist in a vacuum. Or they just found skeletons.


I see the usual "US milk is full of hormones/chemicals" crowd is out posting their fear-mongering rumors...planted no doubt, originally by the dairy cartel. (myth started in the 1980's, and relates to what is standard practice in all animal husbandry. Without these various antibiotics, etc., you would have herds dying off regularly - and making the news.)

Ask someone from a cattle operation - dairy or otherwise  - in Canada. Antibiotics, etc., are standard practice. Perhaps the USA has approved/uses different products, but by no means are Canadian operations "all natural" or "organic" by any stretch of the imagination.

It is the same as the rumors planted by the US healthcare industry about "single payer"...

Funny how when you are outside, you can easily see the errors in belief about what is going on elsewhere, totally oblivious to the  falsehoods you hold true...
