Putin asked Obama for evidence.  He presented none.

Putin asked Trump for evidence again today.

It should be no problem to provide evidence right?


Ahhhh another cool guy having a standoff. what has it been 3-4 days since the last one. C'mon all you tough guys how about a few more. Get your mug on chan 2 news!!


Bull chips.
This law is just pandering, with some trying to use it to shut down debate on Islamic militancy.
If you think that there is no reason to distrust radical Islam you have a defective survival instinct.


The Leftnut media, NYT, WaPo, CNN, MessNBC, are all liars, traitors and crooks.  They have only one agenda: hate and kill Republicans.  They have no other function in life.  Sad, pathetic, but criminally liable.  Jail them all!


People really are that brain dead and lazy. It's intellectual laziness.


to nitpick...the "love thy" phrase is one of the few actual  words quoted to be spoken by jesus , and his final answer.  I believe the "first will be last..." is matthew and luke(?).


What an arrogant horse's behind Kat Pratt talking about people who disagree with her - "I get it about once a day usually and some of them get more confrontational. Maybe some not maybe as not educated as that last gentleman, and there's a lot to learn,".  She is an example of why the French used the guillotine for elites.


No intention to be funny.
The pink hats look like underpants &  wearers  made to look stupid.
You were used

Pls research methods of mass propaganda; Edward Bernays; & how PR agents can manipulate people as a means of achieving some larger agenda that supports their interests at the cost of your well-being -- i.e. Bernays was hired by Big Tobacco to get women to smoke:  On Easter Sunday he got women to march down Fifth Ave in Easter finery, smoking cigarettes.  It became chic.  Sales soared.  The cancer did not come until later.

Same with Women's march -- you were seduced to join a mob, and now you are defending the mob's vacuous non-agenda, while real issues, like prosecuting Clinton for deliberate destruction of Libya & Syria & deaths of 200,000, becomes invisible.

REAL women support Tulsi Gabbard who visited Syria and interviewed 14 yrs old raped by ISIS, which US arms & supports.
Now,  "Congress disgusted w/ Gabbard." Google it.
Will you come to the defense of Tulsi Gabbard?


"Data indicates that the availability of contraceptives plus the availability of medical counseling reduced abortions."

Drill down to the actual data and you find much less certainty of the connection. From the original Atlantic article: "It's possible that the decline in the abortion rate had nothing to do with Romneycare. In fact, Massachusetts has generally performed fewer abortions every year than the year before it going back to 1991."

This is the classic correlation/causation blunder. Because you want to see the pattern, you see it.

And that a Catholic publication would contradict Church teaching by promoting contraception is troubling, but not unexpected in this case.


The current saga of climate change is somewhat reminiscent of the 18th century quest to get to the North Pole and conquer the North. Common scientific wisdom at the time, well documented with sound logic and scientific facts was that there existed a polar sea that was not unlike the Mediterranean or the Caribbean. Explorers just had to break through the ring of ice surrounding it.

Guess what.........


I meant "the need to DISCERN"


I don't know why the TV listings was the last straw, but it's hard to disagree with this comment:

"The Post is slowly becoming The Weekly Reader for adults."


"Are the the authors making the case that the modern concept of nationhood status confers upon Indigenous peoples a separate set of rights based upon their own laws and legal traditions, and that the SCC has no status in Indigenous affairs...?"
That is exactly how I read the authors case.
In fact this could be taken a step further, that what we presently call the Government of Canada including the Supreme Court does not have a legal right to exist. And laws and legal traditions of First Nations control Canada.


No, the prices at The Pineapple Room were already on the higher side compared to other lunch options; both within Ala Moana Shopping Center and elsewhere.  Paying more was OK, because he quality was good.  However, both quality and quantity went down.  Only thing you can do as a consumer is vote with your wallet. Take a look at the prices at his flagship restaurant, a lot higher than comparable competition finer dining restaurants.  We believe that he rested on his past laurels and the menu was too predictable and the same.  Way too few specials.  Hey, check out Stage, MW Restaurant, 3660, various Roy's, Vino's; yeah they got popular staple entrees/appetizers, but new specials introduced and menu changes.


joey my boy it ain't cool to give yourself a thumbs up but then again you are a Justin fan.


This is a tempest in a teapot. He was one of the architects of the operation, just not THE architect.  I will forgive him his embellishment - just as I would forgive any of the men that participated in the fighting.
As a Sik - I would guess he was just taking a jab as the anti-Sik folks that still exist in India. I will give him that.


Inflation? Kelly needs those expensive "Stallone" suits color coordinated and  ties to look good on Gavel to Gavel show as an apprentice, along with McKenna's European vacations on per diem, her hubby's private road to his mine,  Olson's moving junkets to egypt,  Walkers jaunts to his office in Asia and Texas, and ten gallon hat.


How about this title: Losing more jobs to oversees countries seen as doomed after Trump victory.


I would like to think that we Christians are devoid of church politics but, alas, not true. Part of the Reformation was a power struggle between the national and international churches. This has humanity written all over it. Even today, all Christians would agree with Christ's commandment to "love one another". Unfortunately, from there human nature creeps in with turf wars, self righteousness and pride.


[ Indeed, it is the astronomical Canadian taxation ]
You're uttering mantras. That is not the case in general. The US actually has very high taxes, one of the points Trump claims to wish to address. Canada's taxes (albeit the methodology of calculation is arguable) are less than the OECD average.


No actually they were working in MacDonalds in California until Trump got in....

Wow the revisionism is deep tonght


Reagan Republican, uber pro-lifer (I had my own plan to end abortion, with JPII declaring the unborn Vatican subjects and Reagan agreeing to protect them, they did not want it because it would have worked), pro-defense, worked as a cost analyst for the Air Force. Left when George H.W. Bush, who was neither a governor nor a senator ran for POTUS, when Jesse Helms was too much of a racist donkey butt to ignore and because the whole contention that the doctors who do abortions were in it for gain rather than to prevent self-induced abortions proved false. I also ran statistical models comparing GOP and Dem economic policies and found that the GOP plan was always worse. The Dems may have been too into dependency, except people work their way out on their own in most cases. The Dems favor more education than low wage jobs and with Bernie, there won't be such a thing with a $15 minimum wage.


Are they the black or the grey squirrels?


Darn, your last post was immediately deleted, and I looked forward to debunking the opening statement.


What doctor approved this?  What admin official at Social Security approved this?  We need reform badly!  I am so tired of this type of fraud and corruption.  It happens all the time.  We need to go back to the way it was in the olden days - no gov't assistance.  People need to help their own family members.


cont.

... review of human history objectively is one long, sad, grim tale of different groups of people treating other groups of people very, very badly.  This applies to every society, every culture, every ethnicity without exception, so far as I can see.   What you describe is a Human Nature problem, not an American one ...

By the way, have you perchance read W. Scheidel's recent work, _The Great Leveler:  A History of  Violence and Inequality .." ?  I'm just working my way through it myself.  Scheidel suggests that the most effective way of eliminating income disparities in market societies that last century or so has been World War ... (probably still considered by most as an extreme solution).

Thanks for your words.


1. Yep, and this isn't a new law.  It's a parliamentary motion.
2. It doesn't single any one religion out for special treatment.

I'm really tired of saying this: READ IT!!!


People with access are paid considerable sums of money whether there is an immediate return or not. That is how Harper and John Baird got onto Easy Street. The significance of Manafort to Mueller's investigation is that here we have a guy who helped a Russian-connected Ukrainian President to get elected. Manafort and Gates have connections to Russia and both end up on Trump's campaign team until Manafort got caught out. Donald Trump Jr and others have stated how much of the Trump empire's financing comes from Russia. Now we have the Russian-connected campaign team members for the Russian-financed Presidential candidate and we have Russians in possession of emails embarrassing to Hillary Clinton. It doesn't sound like Manafort and the Russians did the Democrats any great favours! So, do you think Dubya was being influenced by the Russians, he was still in power in 2006?


Huh?  Atlanta has only about 500K people, Houston only 2.3M

Whereas GTA has 5.5M by the very same sites that show the above populations

Remember their definition of city center = GTA not just toronto proper


Well said. Now watch the leaf troll whazzup spew his usual filth.


These snippets from last month's G&M news stories explain the "New Canada" under the failed drama teacher's regime.

"Over all, part-time work has underpinned Canada’s job growth over the past 12 months. Of the 140,000 new positions, 124,000 are part time."

"Over the past year, Canada has added 213,000 part-time jobs and eliminated 30,500 full-time positions, according to Statistics Canada’s monthly labour report released on Friday"

Just wait until everyone gets hit nationally with the carbon taxes he's dictating on all provinces. Our youth will be condemned to living in their parent's basement until we can get rid of these Liberal clowns in office that have yet to put in a policy that benefits the majority of Canadians rather than just looking after expensive special interest groups.

The tide against useless and expensive progressive governments is happening world-wide. Canada will be next.


OMG Globe this is deep.


I thought the US is fighting against ISIL and Alqaida, which are not supported by Iran. Iran is actually fighting against ISIL and Alqaida. It would be hard to hand something to others, when they don't even have it. Israel has been claiming for over a decade that "Iran will have a nuclear weapon in 2 months". If they couldn't manage it in 40 years, they won't manage it in 4. The international resolution about their ballistic missiles she talks about is a non-binding agreement, which cannot result in a punishment. Of course she would love to sanction a country that isn't buying any weapons from them. Why would the US want to sanction the mother Alqaida and ISIL, Saudi Arabia, when they buy so many weapons.


Actually, it is most often the right-wingers here who don't want facts to confuse them.  How else to explain all the excuses for the Trump team? I wonder if you googled GPS Fusion.  How about Magnitsky? I found the sites and connected articles very informative and disquieting.


Please learn English before posting comments on a Canadian newspaper website. Thank you.


Actually, given the tenants are big money companies, I am not surprised. I'm sure there were a lot a things going on behind the scenes that we're not aware of. But the DLNR need to be audited to ensure that they have policies in place and the resources to check on annual basis if there should be a rent increase. But the blame also falls on those above the DLNR who have not done their job all these years to check on their work and effectiveness. All staff in that department should be evaluated in that term.


Their method of choice for managing is more taxes and more user fees.  They have so many taxes and user fees, that they cannot keep track of them all.  Meanwhile, the Income Tax Act is so complex, that even the information that you get from talking to a Canadian Revenue Agency contact agent is often wrong.


The short answer? Yeh, you are VERY wrong in your thoughts. Make the world a better place. Help out the victims. Vote judges in that will give more than a slap on the wrist. There are lot of things to do. Dwelling on dark thoughts will infest your life and you could end up just like that loser vigilante this is written about. The LAW enforces the law. YOU will go to jail out of stupidity.


An interesting tidbit.  In my first Coors Field game I saw Larry Walker's first ever home run in Coors Field, however, they didn't call it a HR (no replay then) so it went down as a double.  The Rockies were playing the Dodgers early in 1995 at Coors Field.....I remember Mondesi hit one OVER the LF stands early in the game.  He used to kill the Rockies, especially at Coors. Later in that game, Walker hits a screamer over the left/center field fence, but the ball hit the concrete at the base of the LF stands and bounced right back over onto the field.  It was a line drive home run so it happened quickly, but from my vantage in RF third deck the ball was clearly out.  The ump called it a double, and that was that.

Galarrraga will always be my favorite Rockies player, but Walker is easily the best player in franchise history (yes, even over Helton).  Larry was a legit HOF talent.  If he just could've stayed healthy, and maybe enjoyed baseball as much as he did hockey, he'd be in the HOF.


Men are sick and tired of being wallets for woman. They always come out on the bad end in a divorce, with child custody battles and being wrongly accused in the courts of law etc. It's just not worth it.
I would highly recommend that men never get married and be aware of  common law relationships also, as they can still, come after you.


With the fear of Syrian/Muslim refugees entering the US, the pro-refugee/immigrant supporters have been using Vietnamese as the positive model example to let them in since Vietnamese and their descendants have adapted very well and contributed to US society in such a short time (doctors, lawyers, astronaut(s), scientists, etc.) . I think Mr. Stewart was trying to dispel the facts about Vietnamese refugees with ignorance and use it as a platform to not support (Syrian/Muslim) immigration in the US. It only shows how stupid he is. Peace and Love!


Thanks inspector. Your insight is incredible. If called to, who would you trust more? An American or a Russian? And I mean it. Who would you trust more? I knew you'd say "American."
Also, are the CIA and FBI all a bunch of "yes" men for the current President Obama and only want to have a massive world-shaking battle with the newly-elected President Trump? If there was no evidence of the Russian wrongdoings, wouldn't we hear CIA agents and FBI agents flooding the media with accusations against Obama. None of that. Open your eyes. Russians are still slimy.


This network exists. They are RV dump stations, and there are lots of them.


Alcohol is incredibly damaging to the brain. So let's ban alcohol until age 25 too. Also, driving is pretty risky, better bump up that age limit to 25 also. Sex can be risky, so let's put a 25 year limit there too!  Joining the army... better make that a 25 age limit too. Heck, let's just make 25 the new age of majority. Makes sense, right?


FC has no problem with discrimination on the basis of sex. He accuses those who do have a problem with it of "excessive clericalism", which means that he does not understand why we dissent from the institutional sexism taught as doctrine. We didagree with this sexism because it is unjust. Injustice should not be tolerated by anyone.


Hahahahaha!


Lazeelump drink some more koolaid and have a chat with your coffee maker....., I can hear your knuckles dragging here....lol.


franco prairie routinely calls Trump "the manly President." I figure it's a decoy to attract attention away from the rest of his comment. Any other explanations - including from franco prairie himeslf - would be welcome.


Human created regulations and entertainment to control other humans based on invisible nothing.


"greenies"  don't seem to have these issues, my friend, only those who continue without any thought or plan to look out and avoid those places where warnings have been set in place with signs telling you to avoid due to animals and their offspring.  Every time, I have seen countless humans try to get that pic, get close to the offspring, getting close to watch the mom and offspring, or just happily bouncing through following their own plans, ignoring the warnings and then calling and crying to  an officer who will simply dispose of mom and offspring.  You sound like a "newbie" or someone who believes he has dominion over all the earth.  You are the dangerous one.


Junior is a joke

Vote the clown out in 2019!!


I say that aliens from Arcturus have turned the US government leadership into pod people. You don't believe me, of course, but you need to spend a few $Billions to give me the benefit of the doubt and investigate.

What a joke..


Ok, ok, ya right, ok....No one needs any permission from govt to speak or write or practice religion or print (Altho, I think media and newspapers ought to get a license from the government, hahah, ya, right when pigs fly); nor be exempt from troops being housed by you and you foot the bill; nor permission not to be unreasonably searched or seized; or a permission slip not to give evidence against yourself, etc. SO why is it this "right" has to be sooo restricted. Three Guess's....Control, control,  control......and the beat goes on. Wake Up!!!!!

Wow, in 1943 the theologians decided that the previous 1900 years of the Church should be reevaluated.  Sorry, but saying that the theologians support the theologians is like telling us that the psychologists support the psychologists.  And 20 years later, Vatican II and the practical destruction of the Church.

The dichotomy is those who think the Church should change (Protestants or Protestants masquerading as Catholics) and those who think that 1900 years of survival and growth is a good basis on which to continue the existing teaching.

There is much literalism in Catholicism, be it the Creed or the words, "This is my body."


They. Are. Here. Illegally. That they commit a disproportionate amount of violent crime as a demographic is just the icing on the cake. If you subtract the cost of educating them and incarcerating them from the "economic benefit" of them working and paying taxes (which their parents never did), you're looking at a significant loss unless every last one of them is a multimillionaire.

The poll your 2015 Atlantic article cited was not conducted in Colorado. It's as anecdotal and meaningless to this discussion as me saying "I don't know a single Republican who supports DACA." Which I don't.


Gotta love the symbolism..."Seattle and Portland are growing by leaps and bounds"  whereas Eugene gets "trickled" on...yeah, that about covers it...


We need a strong conservative to replace her. NOW

Schlosser > If I may quote you, "April 28, I bought 585 shares...." Ooops, that's stretching past tense a little too much for me. Producing a buy 36 days AFTER you say you bought it, just to prove a point, really doesn't fly. It verges on bragging, not that I would ever accuse you of that. Tell me in the same week that you made the buy, and I'll accept it at face value. Then we can see how it fares over the NEXT 36 days. Otherwise, flipping back over a month to talk about a stock that's done okay is, well, like stacking matchboxes on top of each other. Eventually, with a little diggery-doo & sleight of mind, one can eventually reach the moon.
Here's a head's up: If I can see Burlington Stores (BURL) at the $94-$95 mark, I will bite on the Xchange rate and get 100, then sit back and watch it go to $130 over the next 12 months.
BTW: did you see CCL.B, of which you know I have 300, is splitting 5-for-1? And NFI that you know I got on Jan. 11/16, @ $27.49; now up 105% (ex-divs). Luv it!


Rifleman,
  The infrastructure spending will come in the year of the next election, as usual.  As for a recession, I know it would help the Conservatives politically, but let's just hope their isn't one.


That's an interesting take. I don't know if I'd be for or against that but it's worth pondering. But it is worth remembering in the quest for statehood and crafting of the Constitution, the 101 million acres the state received and the sub surface mineral rights were negotiated and fought for. Hence, this owner state concept is what has given us the oil wealth.


It's said that the flapping of a butterfly's wings can change the weather half way round the world and, as this article points out, influence politicians.

What an inspiring article on the interplay of biology and politics, and youthful enthusiasm. Much appreciated Burt. The picture of William Haines is worth a thousand words. Great job.

FAKE NEWS.....Real Estate always goes up!

Just ask the City of Vancouver. They lost $330 Million on the Olympic Village in Canada's hottest housing market at the time.


I wonder how much life expectancy has changed over a much longer period, say 200 years. Back then northern housing was built with wood, mud and animal fur. There was no education, no health care. The only food was what was grown or killed locally. Over the last 200 years I expect life expectancy has increased far more in the north than in southern Ontario.


AND THIS is part of the reason we installed a hotel bar on our door when our son was young......
I don't know how many times we've told our neighbor he needs one because their little one takes off all the time and runs down to the street where people can't see around the corner as they come around it.
HOW HARD IS IT to make sure in some way that a kid can't get out the door? REALLY...How hard? For us it cost a few dollar and about 10 minutes. Our son NEVER got out by himself. Hell sometimes I don't because that thing makes such a loud sound!

This team had a wonderful run in the playoffs, but it is still:  a wait and see how things fall into place this season?


At seventy two I feel very fortunate to be in the shape I am in. I believe it's because I'm pretty active, eat right for the most part and I'm sure my genetics/DNA have a vital role in it as well. I can't control that but why should I? My mother at 87 is a bit bent over from an accidental fall years ago but has no other issues. Mentally and physically pretty sharp and able to be independent for the most part with ADLS etc. Her husband takes good care of her and loves her and she is reciprocal, so I'm tickled. Obviously, I do thank the good Lord for it as well, yes!
Now back to me. I'm acutely aware of the fact that things in life are relative. When we play Pickleball for example I notice a variety of people in varying age categories. Most of them have had knee and back as well as other issues. I feel bad for them but try not to show it. I have my share of stiff painful back issues from a lack of stretching every morning and that'll change soon, it must.
Relativity, it's fun!


Strong men love strong women, like a matched team hence your 38 years of marriage of which I admire to the fullest.


The reference  to the NW Expressway property was in an article about Nightingale Health Sanctuary's recent move. It was sited there last year, and I don't know of any complaints about their behavior. Nightingale has always been a well run camp. The article said that people were upset because there were so many rest stops, etc. in their neighborhood.
The article mentioned that the complaints about the site east of Freddy's came from people in Mike Clark's district, which abuts the site. There have been no camps in his district, yet, so I don't see how they could be upset by the behavior of campers.


A 'bully' of a President? Now I understand why the Globe is so full of anti-Trump diatribes and objective journalism has been silenced. It starts at the top with the Editors.


Here is what she actually said:

"You know, as a medical doctor, there was a time when I looked very closely at those issues and not all those issues were completely resolved. There were concerns among physicians about what the vaccination schedule meant, the toxic substances like mercury, which used to be rampant in vaccines. There were real questions that needed to be addressed. I think some of them have been addressed. I don’t know if all of them have been addressed. At the same time, we have a real compelling need for vaccinations....."

You really shouldn't buy into smear campaigns from an establishment that is afraid of the left. Although it sounds like you are too.


Once women are ordained, the claim that anything but our witness to the Resurrection is unchangeable is mute. Of course, we can’t just ordain celibate women with the same bent toward asexuality that many celibate men have (or the acceptance of it by gays running away from their sexuality, other gays simply honor the promise by not marrying their lovers). If we ordain women, we must ordain single and married, gay and straight (and, yes, asexual) women and men. We cannot join the sexual revolution in only one aspect. This focus on otherworldly chastity must end for all but those created to pursue it, because sadly Paul, while he dealt with women as equals, brought his personal sexual quirks with him into his teaching. We can honor and respect that, but we need not perpetuate it.


I'd say the right paints themselves that way:

Conservatives favour:
Traditional social institutions,
Barefoot and pregnant and church on Sunday.

Personal and economic freedom,
Unless you're a woman or gay.

Individual responsibility,
Unless you're a senator.

Our social safety net
But only if you don't have to pay for it.

Free-market economics
But boycott companies who exercise their right to advertise where they choose.

Small government
Didn't Harper make it bigger?

Fiscal prudence
Again, HOW many straight deficits? Action Plans ads? Fake lakes? Gazebos?


You don't have to live in New Mexico to have stupid people. Look at all of our politicians.


I always believed that the Liberals set the hypocrisy bar impossibly low for the other parties to  stoop to.

Rona has disabused me of that juvenile notion.


Mr. Hayes:  well, sorta..... However,  Mr Trump doesn't know anything about plumbing either. However, last night he did stay at The Trump Tower.


Well, it seems if you follow the media talking points, they will let anyone write an article in here...

An EMBA program is not that hard to get into...you basically need an undergrad and fulltime work experience...

I'll bet she did not have the academic chops to get accepted into the regular MBA program...

It is like reading a post from a disgruntled egotist...useless.


Being canonized means that the church, here on earth, believes that the canonized person possessed 'saintly' qualities and lived her/his life as a faithful follower of Jesus.  I don't believe that all saints achieve the same place in heaven, ['my Father has many mansions'].  Some mansions may be cottages, too.


But the point is that this article is glossing over the reality that there are women in Canada who are forced to wear head and face coverings against their will.


Respectfully MORRI, let me put Mr. Trump in perspective, as I picked him to win in the very first Republican debate, here's why:
In that debate, Mr. Trump as a billionaire businessman said a very truthful grain of fact that reflects on both parties in Washington, and this nation. When the Republicans accused him of giving money to Ms. Clinton when she campaigned for senator, he said truthfully as a businessman, he gave money to both parties, that was the only way to get things done in business. He referenced several Republican he was debating as to taking his money, and Rand Paul asked if he could get some more, as the crowd laughed! At that point, he said something very true about America, both parties do the bidding of the money behind them, not the common man who they can lie to for votes.
I knew then, like Mr. Sanders said about Ms. Clinton and Wall St., this man who used his own money and small donors like Mr. Sanders, would take down both parties, and I said he'd win the election


I suspect our good friend Bavius is programmed to respond in certain ways to designated trigger phrases. Once response delivered, he goes blissfully back to sleep.


I really don't understand this fascination with wanting to watch commercials.  Personally, I'm either trying to skip past them with the PVR or flipping channels/going to the kitchen/talking to the wife during the rare occasion I'm watching something live.  And if there's some kind of interesting commercial that's going viral, I'll just pull it up on Youtube.


He trusted too much on the "I'm a born intelligence, not academic intelligence" Hlaudi Motsoeneng. The DA should go ahead and lay criminal charges against him.


My whole point is Aga Khan is not even a Muslim.  It's Trudeau' his love for fame.  Trying to protect his privilege.

He keeps moaning about how Fidel and Aga Khan are his family friends.  Guess what if his Father wasn't the PM, do you think they would be his family friends?


I  purchased an $85,000.00 vehicle a couple  of years ago. It had all the bells and with it.  However it did not come with owner's manuals. It was a challenge to get the dealer to provide them. I got them after some significant delays. They contained a total of 1500 pages.


Your $500,000 per day was killed as "Fake News" last week on one of the R-G threads.  That was what the Mayor of New York wanted; not what it actually turned out to be.

Try and keep up, Gary!


What I saw was our WRs unable to get open and being smothered by some unknown and rookie CBs.  So yes, Trevor had few open targets.  The INTs are on Trevor.  One didn't matter much.  The other led to a FG by the Bills.  But even HOF QBs throw INTs now and then.  I thought Von was the face of the franchise, and his silliness cost us dearly.


Might need a lot of trailers! Donald Trump has not made a final decision on the fate of nearly 800,000 young undocumented migrants, the White House said Thursday, after reports said the president was poised to end protections for so-called “Dreamers” as early as Friday.The president has been weighing the fate of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (Daca), the 2012 Obama policy that lifted the threat of deportation for immigrants who were brought to the US before they were 16. In addition to another possible 40,000 Haitians, there are 260,00 originally from El Salvador and 60,000 originally from Honduras all whose Temporary Foreign Status is about to expire!!


"Eco-Nazis" ?  "religious jihad"  ?

“During my time there at the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec, (CDPQ), namely, the Québec Pension Plan, we became very big players in the economy of Québec, resultant from the millions in contributions from Québéckers. That is when I perceived that political influence, especially after 1978, played an increasingly important role at the Caisse and the Québec Pension Plan: Our investments were then very much determined by political considerations … The Caisse and the Québec Pension Plan secretly followed in the footsteps of Paul Desmarais, and we utterly failed the Québec taxpayers. Sadly enough, the losers are not these wealthy investors, but rather Québéckers themselves are impoverished.”

Steve, we all know you have a direct stake in man-made catastrophic global climate change because of the non-profit organizations, boards and groups you belong to. So, it's not surprising you have to toe the Al Gore/Bill Nye line. As does anyone getting grants and money from "we the people". Don't ever forget, it's tax money not free money and many are profiting from fear mongering. But now the money is drying up, the lies are being exposed and they screaming like hungry babies.
Fact remains, it's not 100% or even overwhelmingly embraced by legitimate scientists that your theories based on models are true. You just dismiss anyone who doesn't agree with you.
Also, don't think that because many people and many real scientists disagree with man-made catastrophic global climate change and nearly 100 years of wrong predictions that we don't want clean air and clean water. We just don't want to destroy our country under false premises which this hoax is.


So if your religion sees black people as inferior and not who you should associate with......does this law help?


Nice cherry picking, there, champ. It's interesting that you left out the next paragraph: "Still, many of the average differences between men and women that were described in the manifesto are either small or near zero, according to a 2005 study in the journal American Psychologist. Some, if not all, of the average differences could be due to socialization rather than biology, several experts said."

Those who prefer getting all available information instead of just the single factoid that supports their existing biases will find that the article also states: "The manifesto goes way out on a limb, however, when it aims to explain the gender gap in tech to biology when other factors such as sexism or outmoded family structures clearly play a role, McCarthy said.

"What's more, no studies have shown that the skills and personality traits needed for tech jobs are uniquely male."

See if you can get someone to read you the whole thing.


Perhaps a strait jacket is the only way to stop trump from tweeting - with appropriate residency, of course.

My parents are both retired musicians, none of us kids followed in their footsteps either one has to do what they enjoy in life on one's own terms and time.  Sounds like this kid has his head screwed on right. I'll share that my cousin formed a Van Halen air band back in the early 80s he learned to really play the drums for this in middle school, my little bro and myself were visiting for a couple of weeks so our parents could vacation without us rotten kids.  Every morning my cousin would play along with Alex Van Halen's epic 10-12 minute drum solo, totally cranked up volume, at 6am in the morning.  He had a broken arm at the time, didn't matter to him, he played through the pain.  My cousin is the sheriff now in his po-dunk small town both he and my dad are from.  The lasting memory I'll always have of him is shirtless, cast on his arm, going crazy on his drum set waking up the neighborhood with Van Halen.  You gotta find your own path ...


When did you become the spokesman for "WE"? I was born here, use the word "folks" and have no issue with Texas or Texans.


Just stunning. A couple of years ago, this would have been a joke. Now it's the new American reality. While negotiating a trade agreement with its "partner" to the south, they plan to erect a ridiculous wall to make sure to keep them out. In a related story, scientists are searching for a cure for stupidity; so far, no luck.

Uncle Henry's lessons were not limited to Ewa Beach.  His passion and knowledge guided Uncle Allen's efforts to restore limu to Lana'i's waters.  Both men are now gone, but their teachings guide the next generation on this small island.  Thank you, Uncle Wally, for this article, and thanks to Kua for enabling this effort around the State.  Uncle Allen and Uncle Henry are no doubt sharing a smile right now.

Yeah, right.


So, he hasn't been charged or arrested for the crime, but the RG is naming him as the person believed to be responsible?  You'd better hope to hell it's him, or him and some ambulance-chaser will soon be rich.

Steve Bannon serves as a reminder that it is actually possible to have elected a worse person than the Turnip.


Fair enough comment. I think M97 is a powerfully good and elegant idea, well worth the small cost it will be to most of us. It will address the financial crisis faced by the schools in a state where the schools are already struggling. It will do this by repairing the corporate tax rate--Oregon corporate taxes are the lowest of all 50 states.

Health insurance and the cost of almost anything having to do with health care-- that's a whole other animal, and there is nothing like a solution as easy and elegant as M97. I'm trying to figure out what kind of insurance I can afford (and what kind of illness I can afford) right now. Looking at US health care as a system or at the personal level--it's insane, wasteful, and absurd, as well as absurdly complicated.


"It''s not a good sign that supporters of the new President aren't clear on that."

Sorry. We're very clear on that. Your comment seems to indicate you are the one who feels Trump supporters aren't entitled to the very freedoms to which you allude.


The Canadian government and media still focused on benefiting foreigners instead of Canadians. The government wants to bring in refugees (or quite possibly they are just economic migrants) stuck in Mexico, and all sorts of things it wants to hide from Canadians. Our government keeps ignoring Canadians, blatant abuse by government towards Canadians. Meanwhile Canadians still homeless and struggling, Canadian homeless and poor, are the refugees with nowhere to go, a government that neglects their needs and attends to the needs of foreigners and companies. When are our politicians going to get their head on straight and figure out they should be focusing on Canadians families and Canadian workers, you just can't trust politicians to do what's right anymore, they obviously don't know what they are doing. We have to throw these bums out. Picket in front of MP offices about substantially reducing immigration and foreign labor to Canada, it's only way to fix economy, 3.5%+ job vacancy target.


I thought they were open doing what they could? You can only do so much without access to records stored on computers.


Hillary lied repeatedly about her emails, about her server being secure, about classified information, about the attack in Benghazi, etc.


Kahn lives is the Islamic political world of half-truths, deceptions, and secrets called “taqiyya". In any other religion telling lies and being deceitful is a sin. In Islam, telling lies to protect the name of Allah is a pious duty.  We in the west have no comparable ideology and most western people have a hard time believing such a thing is even possible. That is why so much of what Muslims say compared to what they do confuses us.


And just what would you accept as evidence?  Would you accept Trump's non disclosed tax returns showing he was financed for years by Russian oligarchs because US banks refused to finance another major bankruptcy like his three casinos in Atlantic City?  I'm curious, because it doesn't seem like anything he says or has been shown to do changes die hard Trump supporters opinions of his competency.  (Oh wow, I almost wrote papacy.)


So, basically what you're saying is that women, (particularly, although I also know some teenage boys) who prefer privacy while peeing are somehow mentally ill and must be ripped out of their insanity by a six-foot male in 4-inch heels goggling them over the top of a public restroom stall. (And, yes, I have had that experience and know other women who have had it also). These fearful and unfair people who think their body shouldn't be under public display of the opposite sex will  get used to being goggled and their daughters won't even think it's unusual and the whole world will be better off for them getting used to being sexually harassed. And, hey, the occasional sexual molestation of children ... that will only grow the number of transgendered, so it will meet your goal and that means there's nothing to worry about.


4 murders in one sentence

The left ignores none of those tyrants, and the comparison with Venezuela is especially absurd. What used to be the lunatic fringe is now mainstream conservatism. I think your slope is the slippery one.


Actually, the proper term used in the article is "unauthorized immigrant". Some are known to authorities, like Garcia de Rayos, and so cannot be called "undocumented". However, the article and the headline mixes up the terms "immigrant [community", "undocumented immigrant", and "unauthorized immigrant" in a haphazard way.


James,
Wrong on all guesses. It's the apparently able-bodied people on our street corners, holding up signs, begging for handouts. I will allow that there are some of them who are down on their luck and will bounce back eventually. I will also allow that there are some who have adopted begging as a way of life; perhaps due to mental illness, maybe abusive relationships, or just plain laziness. It really doesn't matter.
My point is that if the number of non-contributing citizens, indigents or otherwise, increases, it's possible that our present economic/social structure will become unstable and collapse. Under those circumstances disaster will be visited upon us indiscriminately. If you think the wealthy are immune, some probably are. But those whose wealth is essentially returns on investments or cash in the wall safe, will have lost everything.


Democrats are fuming. So what's new? They're always fuming. If they didn't fume, they wouldn't be Dems. To mitigate the fuming, we need to fumigate the halls of congress from Prog. infestation.


Tail wagging the dog?!?!  Give me a break.  It's called democracy because people have the opportunity to go and vote "no".  Why 50% of registered voters?  Why now 75% or 90%.  If you are registered, then vote.  There is absolutely no one imposing their will on the rest, and a free and fair election is the epitomy of democracy.


The US, Canadian, various European governments use various money laundering techniques themselves to enact intelligence operations. It is rather funny how they talk about enforcing easy pickings on the domestic audience but they do it themselves.

The US is notorious for using shadow banking channels themselves to move funds to support various insurgents globally. African banks are liked by the CIA for example. The US government like to use their own citizens retail businesses or their allies citizens businesses as fronts. These marks are unaware until it is too late. They then get thrown under the bus for money laundering when their operations are exposed.

The Iran Contra scandal was a textbook case of the US government throwing innocent American citizens under the bus to move CIA funds through various money laundering channels they set up.


its bad and unbelievable they way the democrats are trying to destroy democracy. are you kidding not 1 day goes by without some foolish accusation unproven and silly. and the press and Hollywood  make all sorts of attacks.. no country treats its leaders this way. not even isis and hitler didnt have it this bad


The cap imposed on the survivor income is what makes CPP different from every other pension plan.

It is offensive, especially for a pension plan that does not offer a particular;y attractive return for current contributors, for the survivor benefit to be cut off at the single person's maximum.  That cut off represents a confiscation that is completely unreasonable, both insofar as the pension calculation works, and also in light of all the other financial burdens suffered by the surviving spouse.

It's just another rip-off necessary to pay for the votes of front end front-end free-riders who were promised full pensions despite contributing for relatively short periods.  The Liberal government of Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson in 1965 first established the Canadian Pension Plan.  Surviving spouses are still paying for that promise.


Many Republicans in congress voted with Democrats to keep ANWR locked up.  So let it be written, let it continue to be done.


Maybe Alaska should consider using Whittier as THE port for Alaska. Very secure. Fish processing plant closed. Year round deep water port. Lots of room for expansion. What is wrong with Whittier (or even Seward). Look at the most cost-effective option--and please no more 10 yr studies to do so.


not sure how you came to whatever conclusion about my stance on this but....don't think it is what you think it is...  i'm kinda thinking the guy is getting a raw deal


Tom is just politically motivated. Something I'm trying very hard to get away from.


Mr. James isn't running for president,  The best defense is a good offensive, huh? Ignore trump's behavior at your own risk.


A bank for Trudeau and his elite friends to get richer and for average Canadians to bare the risk and pay for shortfalls. Way to go junior eh. Maybe like Ontario hydro and the GTA 407 eh Junior? Hydro bills through the roof and a ride on the 407 for 45 bucks.


Talk about applying the law with a sledgehammer without regard to the context of immanent legalisation.

Even if it's true that the couple jumped the gun a bit, why are my tax dollars being spent on futile persecution of pot smokers?

Spend the money on rounding up rapists and killers.


Sounds like there's more to the story, but the case seems pretty clear - they've been using the access for many decades and legally they're entitled to continue to under the law. Native rights don't seem to be the issue.

But Charles' bigger point is the matter of losers having to pay legal fees of the winner. This allows bullying of the highest order (which Sealaska appears to have done). It also encourages gouging by the lawyers. Once it becomes clear that they will win the case, the lawyers pile on, billing against the case as heavily as they can. "Yup, we needed to sharpen every pencil in the office for this case. Took our attorney, making $500/hour, three hours." Sealaska should be ashamed.

Cases like these are why people hate lawyers. This legal fee law needs to change. But guess what? Big corporations own our legislature and they aren't going to let that happen. They like things just the way they are.


I thought the headline in particular was of the nudge-nudge, wink-wink double-entendre variety, after seeing the photo of the partners...

What's to stop a woman from burying the fetus in the backyard. With a first trimester abortion there's not much there there. Less than half a liter I guess. Bury it with a tree?


IRT "we aren’t going to be able to totally eradicate slugs or the rats.”  But/and lots more effort could go into education regarding how to control both rats and slugs.


"His contract required him to teach two classes a year, he said, but he typically bought one out — paying the university with money he earned from grants that support his research. He said he worried that if UAA reduced the size of the faculty he would lose control of his teaching load."
Teaching one class a year does not seem like much of a teaching load.  It seems to me that the faculty should be teaching several classes a year


Of course takedowns of Trump are not the equivalent of Nazi dehumanization of Jews, since the objective was extermination. Yet, the type of thinking is comparable, where Trump is presented as not having a single, solitary redeeming quality. He is the devil incarnate. Satire does not have to be a polemic. It can be very witty, without all the exaggeration.


Then there is the matter of the Islamic State(s).  Since 2009, Democrat President Obama Supported "the Islamic Democracy Movements" using U.S. Citizens Money, as part of the "Obama Regime Change Policy" as "the U.S.  Overthrows of U.S. Allies Established Governments".   U.S. Citizens money flowed into U.S. Ally Egypt to support the Illegal Terrorist Organization the Muslim Brotherhood, that had just gotten back from the Autonomous Kurdistanis Region of being Trained, Armed, by Iran's Qods (Quds) Forces, and landed at the Port at Alexandria Egypt (U.S. Consulate is there watching)  along with about hundreds of thousand of Al Quada's Ansar Al Shariah.   U.S. Ally President Mubarak reported directly to Obama "Increased Al Quada Activities", Obama chopped all U.S. Aid and U.S. Assistance to U.S. Ally President Mubarak.  As previously gave $900 Million to Iran's Hamas and SOS Clinton another $400 Million of U.S. Citizens Money, Hama bought more ammunition, bomb making materials, not Food.


Strange how people move and morph throughout their lives. Bill Stoltz I suppose like so many others is no doubt a "fellow traveler." I remember when he was Rep. Sam Cottons-Democrat legislative aide.


and pay no Canadian taxes.


More academic institutions should consider incorporating course work relevant to the development of human skills, such as emotional intelligence and public speaking.
Really?  Is this some sort of joke?  Business and corporate leaders were practically forcing universities to kill general arts education in favour of business and computer education.  The last thing that the world corps wanted was an educated population that knew how to think and question.  So arts programs (and I don't mean drawing and dancing) were starved for funding in almost every major university while business "leaders" who made billions on the backs of poorly paid workers gave out millions to universities to have their names placed on business school buildings!!  this is insane!  I can't believe what I am reading!!!


for some reason the SA keeps referring to the Piper plane as a PA298. there is no such aircraft. the correct designation is Piper PA28.


I agree to your thoughts.  I guess there was a time for better and for worse where there was a culture that was 'there." It is "there " no longer for the reasons you described.


Here is a good article with video.

The only true Hawaiians were the initial Marquesans  from French Marquesa.  Later killed off by the invading Tahitians.  Rest are all fake Hawaiians.


The NDP are their own worst enemy. Jack Layton was moderate in his views, likeable, extremely popular, and not a separatist (I still cannot figure out where Mulcair really stands on this - masterful fence-sitting).

They eventually end up with a religious hipster leader who supports the break-up of the country (and maybe India's). Typical NDP self-destruction.


No way she beats Ige.


^^^ One of the more insightful posts of the day.


So, Mr Trudeau uses the example of a wage earner making $50,000 paying more tax than a corporation owner who runs $300,000 of income through the company. I  challenge him to provide an actual example of how this would work. I may just want to switch tax advisors.

For the longest time my view has been that what we need is more enforcement of existing rules, including expense reviews, filing compliance and collection action.

Wipe him and his forces off the earth, quickly and without mercy. Oh, and thanks Bill Clinton for being the main reason this is all happening.


Really? The government provided no grants, no refundable tax credits, no assistance of any kind while you "paid yourself" $3 an hour?

And now they are taking half?  Just how much are you raking in?   They don't take half until your 202801st dollar, and those above it.   You'd probably have to be high six figures before your effective rate got near 50%.  And that is without considering any special treatment of dividend income, or money you keep in the business to take down the line as capital gains upon retirement.


That's funny a member of the Arab party in Israel was just in Toronto and gave a speech and interview where he described the exact opposite of what you say.  Unequal rights, ownership rules etc.   Ask yourself, would Israel allow an Israeli-Arab (so a citizen) to move into the areas they are expropriating in the West Bank?  No they would not, so hardly equal, but carry on with your distortions if it makes you feel progressive and all.


This is Obama passing the buck to Trump by saying he doesn't want to deal with it since it marring his legacy. Obama knows that Trump can easily pressure the Corps of Engineers back on track for the pipeline. Actually a clever strategy by Obama to give the protesters a temporary victory, settled them down and let Trump take over. This time, the pipeline people will be better prepare.....they will be proactive in blockading the passage to that area and pipeline will be build sooner or later. Who knew that Obama and Trump, working hand and hand on stuff like this??? Devious politicians aren't they all???


This is a ruling the the U.S. Department of Commerce.  Why does the G&M call it  Trump punishment?    Just more Trump bashing by the G&M.


Actually what the Constitution says (that's relevant here) is:  "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; "  The question as to whether abortion is murder or not hinges on whether the mother's life or the child's life takes precedence.  Some credible religions, notably large segments of the Jewish faith (but not all segments), give precedence to the mother because she gives life to the child.  Under the constitution as explicitly written you are free to hold an opposing position (as you and I do) but we are not allowed to prohibit others from freely exercising their beliefs.  Rather than promote my belief by law (i.e., mixing church and state) I prefer to challenge moral beliefs of those who do not share my positions and convince them of the soundness of my beliefs.  It promotes truth and preserves free will, something that laws can't accomplish.


That's an excuse I've never heard from anyone, "To inept to actually have done anything wrong." Wow.

Just got back from Belize last week.  Every time I dive what I see amazes the heck out of me.  I'm sure we negatively affect the reefs and their systems in many, many ways.  What baffles me is the push back on advancing technologies to reduce our impact on the planet.  The talk of how it costs jobs is a bunch of hand-waving garbage.  It also increases jobs in areas of research and development of these new technologies.  If anything, the challenges those technologies present do more for us than against us.


History works both ways. Natives must recognizee their alcoholism and substance abuses,  the systemic corruption of their won reserves and their familial violence against indigenous women.  I won't hold my breath waiting for that to happen.


Sorry, that was in response to a mass-shooting of Muslims at a Quebec masjid, not at internet whiners wanting me deported, which was the topic under discussion.  So not only do you seem childishly addicted to sophistry for its own sake, you're intellectually dishonest.  Besides, considering that just a month ago Assemblywoman Amy Dunbitchsky tried to whip up a pogrom against a member of my faith who lived near her, caution is common sense, not paranoia.

As for the actual discussion, I'll try to dumb it down for you: I'm a US-born citizen who has never held citizenship in any other country.  That means that I don't have to take seriously nitwits that shrilly advocate for my deportation whenever they disagree with what I write and therefore don't feel threatened by them.  First they'd have to find a country that would TAKE me.  I've lived here continuously for 62 years, including six years of honorable service in the US Navy, and have no criminal record.  Not even a misdemeanor.


Mr. King is the face of the Republican Party and the face of Trump voters.


I don't think you understand that those who have died defending American freedoms and the Constitution died so that peaceful protests could happen. You're ignorant. And tonight once again proved that it's racism and bigotry, not patriotism that's the issue when Jerry Jones and the Cowboys kneeled BEFORE the anthem and were still booed by the racist bigots.


What part of "No person shall be ... deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law" don't they understand.


As a German expat who actually follows German politics (nobody at the G&M does), it is clear to me that Merkel is a consummate tactician of power, but absolutely horrible in terms of actual governance. Panicky abolition of nuclear power, endless extension of the Euro/Greece disaster, mishandling of the "Syrian" refugee crisis that ultimately led to Brexit, neglect of armed forces, playing lapdog to failed American "diplomacy" toward Russia, ... the list goes on and on. Absolutely the worst chancellor since you know who.


I completely agree with safe storage of food to prevent these tragedies, but I'm curious as to where she should have eaten her food (since she was actively eating)... outside in the rain or in a vehicle (if she had one with her)?? Everyone seems opposed to eating in the tent. I'm open to suggestions in case I'm caught in the rain while hungry and backpacking. I've always practiced safe storage but you are vulnerable while you are eating. Just eat quickly and clean up immediately is all I can think to do. It sucks how many bears are being killed this year. They have learned that there are too many careless humans around with food and the "victims" may not be the ones who "trained" them. For instance the boy who was dragged out of the tepee.


Do politicians get to keep their pensions when they bugger things up for the rest of us?


Hugs and deficits....because it's 2017


Expensive housing will now result in higher property values and increased property taxes, of which the church was paying none. I realize that the city is all-evil in your world, so that's not news. The neighbors didn't like what was happening and, as a result, it didn't, so they likely feel more vindicated than insulted, but you're clearly the better judge of that. Do you recall how many houses were on that parcel and who owned them before they were sold to the church?


Do they get the PFD to spend on whatever they want? Yes. So what is your problem. They even get to spend the PFD they recitative for their kids and then pay less income tax under the kids tax filing.


Great if you love dirty air and traffic congestion!


Well, they cannot "appreciate" in the standard sense, i.e. become worth more year by year than an appraisal. Why? Many reasons, not least of which: they're fine for single folks, but couples won't last long in such cramped quarters.
Lots with undervalued homes, i.e. tiny homes, on them are a poor usage of the property. Everyone, sorry to say, just can't have there own place or Oregon would have no farm land or public land left.
Strange as it may seem, New York city is the greenest place in the USA. Tiny home people are the LEAST green folks. Period.
It's too late in history to think about "40-acres and a mule." 7 billion on the planet, pollution looming as an extinction event. You tiny homes folks are part of the problem, not the solution.


I think people are making way too much of this.  It never even occurred to me how easily disrespected our flag could be until this happened.  I am still in shock about how incensed people get about something so trivial as a person kneeling instead of standing.  Standing for the flag is a meaningless gesture because it doesn't cost you anything.  I am willing to bet that if you ask, most people will say that they stand because that's what they believe they supposed to, not because of any inherent belief that standing is somehow superior to kneeling.  Indeed, kneeling is often a way to show respect.


I've always said that in my next life I'd like to come back and own two or three Tim Horton's franchises.
Recently? ..... not so much.
RBI needs to chill, and understand that it is the franchisees who made Tim Horton's what it is today, a Canadian icon.
Messing with that kind of success, surely, cannot be great business management.
And if they want to do something great, please, bring back the honey stick!!!


as soon as you insult with the name clown you are proven to be a bias one with no facts. trump with the gop are right on economics and are going to send the economy skyrocketing, its already started.


Hopefully Len Pen wins France and cancels this so-called "deal" that will steal more Canadian jobs, lower our wages and take away more benefits.  This is yet another cursed deal in a long line of cursed deals.


You are not a community voice when you have a financial stake in the outcome. Also, the statement 'there were no further issues or concerns' is false - Congressman Sablan sure has some!


"The contractors involved in the renovation have . . ."
.
. . . got to be very nervous right now.


The government loves to take care of you and loves to hear what you need but what if everybody just cleaned up their area and kept an eye out for people leaving junk just maybe you wouldn't have to pay a tax to have someone else do things for you. It's like everything else, if you don't want to do it you pay to have it done don't you? Government likes that and hates to see people get involved. Think about how much of your tax goes to the establishment for wages, retirements, health care and the list is long and you pay for it with your earned money when if you used some of your time instead the government wouldn't need so many people, it's your choice.


That is nonsense.  There are a tiny number of intersex people, but in general, xx people are female and xy people are male and feelz don't change that.

That doesn't mean that xy people can't wear make up, dresses and high heels if they want.  But it does mean that they shouldn't be allowed to compete against xx people, who have 25% less muscle mass on average and are smaller and have lighter bone density, because that means that in time, all XX people will be pushed out of sport.

Just as they were a century ago.


That was a bad call by the ref, certainly wasn't O PI. Watching Gates totally stiff arm Marshall in order to make a catch, THAT was Pass interference. Got to shake your head at the reffing.

Yes.

Because it was Harris who went all-in on a Green Energy Act that has been a failure.  It was Harris who signed all those 20 year contracts at ludicrous over-market levels that we can't get out of.  It was Harris who put us in a position to have to sell our power at a loss to other markets.  It was Harris who continues to sign these Green Energy contracts for power we don't need.  It was Harris who received over a million dollars in donations to his party from those very same providers.  It was Harris that the AG blamed in her scathing report on the power system.  It was Harris who could have taken significant action over the past decade to fix this.  I could go on....


What makes you believe that any public figure needs to be accountable to you for how they conduct their personal affairs? People have become so jaded by our warped media who believe they are supposed to make the news rather than just report it. Maybe you should have to present your tax returns and a detail of your entire life sexual history before you can vote ... just so everyone is accountable? ???

And one of the most liberal, "modernist" nunneries possible!  And bind them under the power of the keys to obedience to the superior of the house!  😂


There is no doubt that Hillary's speech is better and smarter than Trump's . Modern Catholics who support Pope Francis support Hillary Clinton and her ideals and goals. There is no such thing as an abortion at the 9th month of pregnancy. Even a 6th month abortion is risking the mother's life. When towards the latter part of the pregnancy the unborn has a fatal deformity or has no brain and cannot survive, birthing is induced to protect the mother from the toxins of decomposition. That is not a late term abortion, it is being truly pro-life.


Well he's not taking a penny of the 400,000 a year salary.   He spent over 100 million of his own money to get elected.   Those are two pretty big sacrifices to me


Working in 1/100 of degree when none of your models have ever been able to predict anything properly? Your guff is bad science, Mark.


Greatest bait & switch in Canadian tax history. Say you are going to stop the super wealthy from turning income into capital gains though deferred income bonuses...options, deferred shares & convertible debenture (they allow capitalization of interest in some cases) etc. Then say holy crap...no way and go after hard working, job creating, risk takers who are learning the same loopholes using corporate class mutual funds to capitalize profits inside the company and pay it out as capital gains or half taxable. The super wealthy including Mr. Morneau, Brian Tobin at Aecon (they have to hold their options to align with shareholder's best interest...the holding period in the fine print is 3 months) Also, New Flyer Industires & anither multi billion $$ firm. The wealthy have been using loopholes for decades!! But they are in 'the club' which you cannot get into even to empty the trash.


When the liberals first entered into the solar market (98c cents/KWH if I remember correctly) members of the German government told them they were drastically overpaying and actually likely do damage the solar panel market  by supporting such a high price. We are now on the hook for a series of twenty year contracts ranging from that price down to some 28 cents/KWH. Bear in mind none of these prices include delivery just production. They have driven many high paying metals processing jobs out of the province and caused all businesses and in turn consumers unwarranted price hikes.Their next big thing is carbon Cap & Trade starting in January, is everyone ready for a hike in pretty much everything else they consume? They need to in the very least defer Cap & Trade.
They say you get the government you deserve, let's not vote them in again.


You are joking, right? If you have read anything about why Miles was fired...being an arrogant, unbending dinosaur on the offense side of the ball...unless you want Oregon to plummet to the bottom of the Pac-12 in offensive production...you will be hoping Miles is not even remotely considered for the job.


Speaking of spay/neuter, the reason we're seeing the importation of rescue dogs from out of the area is partly because of the success of past spay/neuter programs! If our shelters were full they wouldn't be able to find room for the imported dogs and if our shelters were full we wouldn't be seeing so many rescue groups bringing dogs in like Luvable Dog Rescue is doing! Local veterinarians have been offering low cost spay/neuter for years, some of which are lower cost than the low cost Eugene Spay/Neuter clinic! And we now have the good work WAG is doing along that line. The staff at Greenhill does amazing work and deserves our support!


All of us in humanity are imperfect beings to some degree, however, at least in my view, it is their right and their will to self determination, to preserve their culture and their land and to reclaim what has been taken from them as a result of Canadian confederacy.   Were they in reality not our first Canadians whose values, forms of government and economies we collectively disrespected and cast aside before we tried to further oppress them by robbing them of their cultural identity and even their children?  Today, we can choose to reconcile these wrongs and support First Nations and heal our nation.


Now who is inciting violence, again?


I'm disappointed.  The Post is leaving out the biggest beneficiary of occupational licensing: politicians.  See, in exchange for writing occupational licensing laws, industry associations write politicians big campaign contribution checks, which inevitably favor the incumbents who write the laws.

Without occupational licensing the opportunity for graft drops, reducing the likelihood that the incumbent politician will be reelected.

So occupational licensing laws have a moral side too: Even if it saves the reelection campaign of just one politician, aren't licensing laws worth it?


This doesn't single out any group that doesn't smoke in public. If they want to smoke, leave the area. That applies to everyone. If more citations are given to the homeless who spend their entire day in the area then perhaps they should go somewhere that allows them to smoke, just like anyone else who is given a citation.


If the Prime Minister had said either of these things how loud would be the outrage?


Taran, it is brave of you to speak up. Decades of scientific studies support you. As does the American Academy of Pediatrics, the National Sleep Foundation, the National Education Association, the Center for Disease Control, and many other health and education entities.  It is time public policy catches us with science. Sleep cycles shift as children become teens programming them to fall asleep later and get up later.  It's time for a change.  Here is an organization that supports you: www.startschoollater.net


Of what?


Why privately?  Seems like he's taking an indecent liberty to me.  This investigation should be open and transparent.  This is our country we're talking about here.


Trails for Nikes, duh.


This post was disliked by Archie bunker.  Dude is all over these articles disliking anyone who dares to disagree with white supremacists.


Racist.


Judge Question.  What state and city or town could we contact to get a copy of your birth certificate?  We can contact them and get a copy of the form.  Response by illegal.  No enlglis.   Follow up from judge.  You don't understand ANY English?  A translator asks person about birth certificate again.  Response. No tango certificado naciemento.  In English, I no have birth certificate.  Judge.  DEPORT!!  Total time required for hearing and decision should be no more than 10 min.
Judge works 6 hours a day. This means judge should be able to process and deport up to 36 people per day.  Works 200 days a year.  One judge should be able to dispose of 7,200 deportations per year.
Even if some hearings took up to 30 min. ALL 437,000 cases could be cleared by about 70 judges in 1 year,
The math does not add up to 2022.


MV has big problem. Diverse cultures with attitudes in small area.

Alaska is not a game to be played, we are talking about real lives and families here.
Can we trust those we vote for will do the job, well those Alaskans have voted for have not lived up to the deals made to get elected rather caused more issue's than good let's say debt caused the theft of half the PFD, get the point than not only rob the PFD now find a tax scheme being planned to take more money, can someone fix Alaska's issue's without becoming a thief. only time will tell.


it is only allegations for Chrissakes ....the social justice crowd has succeeded in  eliminating one of our  greatest  protections  against social injustice ...innocent until proven guilty !


I think the likes of Carl Lewis, Hank Arron, Mac Danzig, Robert Cheeke, Murray Rose, Martina Navratilova, Venus and Serena Williams, David Carter, John Joseph, UFC Nick and Nate Diaz, Jake Shields, Bill Walton, Ricky Williams, Prince Fielder, Robert Parish,  etc. etc would disagree.


Wow, read this part of Clinton's speech in today's setting and think about it.  She saw it the whole time.
"I know there are only 60 days left to make our case -- and don't get complacent, don't see the latest outrageous, offensive, inappropriate comment and think, well, he's done this time. We are living in a volatile political environment. You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic -- you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up. He has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people -- now 11 million. He tweets and retweets their offensive hateful mean-spirited rhetoric. Now, some of those folks -- they are irredeemable, but thankfully they are not America."


They are cash strapped.   Wanna know why?

The globe ran a retirement article of two government workers in their retirement section yesterday.    Ages 49 and 57.    Both of them government workers wondering if it was the "right time" to retire as they amassed into the millions..     And there you go that is why they are bleeding us dry.

It does not matter how "cheap" solar or wind generated electricity becomes - they are not base load capable and require equivalent capacity back-up power ! Thus in principle doubling capital investment and operating costs.


You must be quite the chess player.

On a related note, his averaged approval rate is 38.6%, which is lower at this point in his presidency than every single president since WWII (including Nixon).

Once again trudeau shows himself to be the hypocritical, spineless coward that he really is!

During the last election he turned this same issue into an election issue. But now that it his electoral base in Quebec doing the same thing, he says the government has no business telling people what to wear!


You don't think your WWIII comment is over the top?  Ummmmkaayyyyyy.  SMH


I, too, appreciate civil discourse.  I read the articles you provided.  If the last article is correct, I will have to change my opinion on abuse. (The data source is at least partially from peoples perceptions which is suspect.  The data source of the "stop and frisk" is probably spot on.  The others seem to deal with shootings.)  The Chicago Tribune article specifically stated "But it is true that a disproportionate amount of murders and violent crimes are committed by Black Americans" which means the police are often in more dangerous situations.  I want to make sure I am not misunderstood.  I do NOT think any race is more likely to commit crimes because of their race.  I believe it is a by-product of the socio-economic conditions and any person in those conditions would be more likely to commit a crime.  I believe it is the conditions which need to be addressed more than race which is why I support economic zones, school choice, an expanded earned income credit, etc....


".....and shot him on a road near a sewage treatment plant.".......
Nice irony


Trump's nonstop lies are not science! Therefore his supporters eat them up?


Yep, he's just not fit ... for many, many things, the Presidency being one of them.


Lynne Curry you do harm by spreading misinformation about child pornography recidivism rates. I have worked on this particular issue and the fact is the recidivism rate for child pornography is low and the truth is there are people on the sex offender list (for child pornography) that should not be on the sex offender list and yet their lives have been destroyed because of it. Not every individual on the sex offender list is a threat and not every individual on that list should be on the list.


He was mentally-ill.


lol then dont lie... dont make up stories, and dont push bad reporting. nobody believes you guys anymore becasue instead of writing. you give opinion pieces.


You are incorrect.  It is, of course, more appropriate that Mass be said in the presence of believers, but it's false to say that "people must be present."  Many priests properly say the Mass  in their own homes, by themselves.  This is perfectly acceptable.


ya OK
BOOBY.


What comment, it was only a piece of matter.


The liberal "politically correct" ethos is drowning out even Muslims that want to help and condemn this type of brutal violence by their most radical flanks --I think they call this irony. No law abiding, responsible Muslim citizen wants their children involved with these insidious terrorist groups; no more than white parents want their kids in neo-Nazi gangs, or black parents want their kids hanging around with the Bloods and Crips. Let Muslims help by speaking out and identifying these radical elements within their community, so let's please not sacrifice more innocent blood in the name of politeness and pretend that we don't see any differences in our multicultural societies.  Help be part of the solution, read "Heretic Why Islam Needs a Reformation Now by Ayaan Hirsi Ali"


Reminds me of the old schoolyard poem:
"You like yourself / you think you're grand / you go to the movies / you hold your hand / you put your arm / around your waist / and when you get fresh / you slap your face"


"I believe the Editors heard a different speech then Trump supporters."

Not just the editors. It's very clear that the pro-Trump crowd heard a very different speech than most everyone else did. The one I heard made me fear for the future of the nation.


Sorry Lela but you keep tossing out unconstutional as if you know what makes something unconstutional. Obviously you don't, for it takes more than your posting; it requires a decision by SCOUTUS.  By being  big and complicated the ACA is not more complicated by many things Congress passes.
Do you believe whatever is put out for a replacement will not be big and complicated?  No it has to be when you are establishing a health care insurance program for over 250,000,000 million citizens of all ages with different medical historiesand needs. It not like deciding 'do you want fries with that."


Wake up Johnson supporters.  Not only are you throwing your vote away, but you are voting for an uninformed fool.


Convict the murdering drunkard and sentence him to MANY years in prison! Nothing less will satisfy... for killing a motorcyclist out on a ride. Disgusting behavior by the drunkard and he needs to pay big time.


"Enryo" notwithstanding, local AJAs hold racist attitudes like any other group.  While not PC, Kent expressed her frustration in the heat of the moment.  I'm sure she regrets it, but it's done.  Time to move on.


Is that so?  So the mind and emotion has nothing to do with gender?  It's all down to "plumbing?" Your ignorance is breathtaking.  You are completely incompetent to comment on the issue.  You have zero knowledge or understanding of the matter.  Zero.  I'm amazed.


Yes, let's focus on one of the smaller major departments that's not growing and instead ignore the many larger departments whose year to increase is much larger.

Let's focus on trimming down locks and doors and heat in a house, and instead ignore the larger parts of the home budget with sharply increasing curves of spending.

Good idea.   Got it.


Mark 10:18 would apply to you also, right? The point is this: Is it really helpful or necessary for you to make a comment like this?


Why should Trump backdown? All those protests are not bipartisan... Rather a bunch of sore loser Democrats.....  And the others are twisting the reason for this moratorium saying it's religious discrimination. Nothing could be further from the truth. It's all about terrorism and the countries where it seems to be quite prevalent.....  And if you don't think that to be true, then why are so many people wishing to move to the Western World from those areas?


Where is the evidence that demonstrate the "glee of the libs". I don't see anyone behaving gleefully about people being murdered in the comments section.


America will make sure it starts a MAJOR War, a Win-Win American corporations make Lots of money and , well "Population control? !!!!!!!!!


"Normal" racist & white supremacist values ...sounds weird but that's what this Beyak woman really is - nothing nice or christian about her just your plain ol' garden variety  deplorable white supremacist racist. Definitely not someone to whom we should be paying a senator's salary to be present in our chamber of sober second thought...maybe she should have some sober second thoughts about being such a horrible person.


Well when the employer, Trump, is only paying 70% of the HC premiums for most of the employees Donald has to find someone to blame for not paying 100%.


The welfare and government funded programs are a democratic push. Not republican.

I applaud my Valley mayor. He's absolutely right. I doubt Walker has looked around at state operations in Wasilla. Where would he suppose we take these cuts? Our DOT is down. There's a handful of people at the DMV and F&G. What else? Snow plow drivers? Pretty sure we have just a few as it takes 2 days after snow stops for them to hit my road. Welfare office? Not many there neither. The program office is low on staff as well. Police and fire are low on numbers.

Walker has no clue what he's talking about, just pointing fingers and signing checks while simulataneously making unrealistic vetoes and reaching in our pockets.

Institute a state-wide 3% general sales tax, no cap. Property excluded. Present mileage tax to septic companies who transport millions of waste to a single-stage treatment facility which is simply dumped in the inlet. How about upgrade our treatment plant instead of building LNG.


That's it exactly! I think Americans are so accustomed to cookie-cutter presidents, it's difficult to imagine someone like Berlusconi or Gaddafi or Trump, and we naturally assume the worst. At any given moment, there are usually dozens of very strange people running countries somewhere on earth. And they usually manage to survive.


Let's hear it from the right...Proof that nobody should ever be paroled under any circumstances.  Ever.


No doubt. Rank speculation is your forte.


I guess that's the sucky part about democracy, you only get to change your mind every few years.


True expertise is still admired within its proper context.
Expert-advocates who transparently exceed the limits of their know-how, or overstate the abilities of their disciplines and methods, however, are just another bruit in the fake news echo chamber.


is this news??? put it in the ads section. and who cares about who got promoted.  really, who give a rats ass about these peoples new jobs.  what about naming the person that got promoted to supervisor on the construction site, or at the trash dump, or at mcdonalds.  i had a nephew that got promoted from drive thru at burger king and now is training supervisor ahahahahahhahha serious though, i could care less about these people, why do you keep putting this crap in your newspaper.  is it because you have to kiss someones ass.  its just like in the sports section on where the kids are playing in college, majority are punahou alums. does the SA sports writers keep checking all on these kids in college playing sports or are all these reported by their publicity seeking parents.  I vote these parents are emailing or calling in about to report how wonderful their child is doing in their college sport.  bingo


Do you think she showered him with her charms? Bestowing golden favours upon his brow?


Way to go Gov, why not just pardon him instead?


Is ALL Canadian fabricated steel Russian??


uh the Tri-Cities is Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody. (Originally referred to as PoCoMo)   Burnaby is not part of the Tri-Cities.


In light of Trump's executive order opening up coal fields and mines in the U.S. to use coal again for
industrial purposes yesterday, it seems stupid to me for Canada to have carbon tolls for the electorate
at all!     Just as was said before the tax was implemented, it would be another way for the governments
to remove more money from the electorate, in order for it to be wasted.     So now we can get more acid
rain, carbon etc in the atmosphere, blowing over to us.     And what can federally, provincially, municipally can be done to protect us?


…false narrative.


The domestic terrorists at the company called "civil comments" are attempting to destroy your first amendment right to free speech!
Only in communist countries or in Nazi Germany you had to have approval of your speech by your peers!
That's not the United States of America!
That's Russia under the iron fist of a loser named Putin!
RESIST LOSING YOUR 1st Amendment right!
Here is the communists website I HOPE all hackers that are reading this understand it is time to take this website down are you listening @ "anonymous" our free-speech is being destroyed by these losers
Be a real American patriot like Thomas Jefferson and George Washington that fought for our first amendment rights for free speech !

It was you who claimed that "our name is integrally linked to our identity".
I then pointed out that your claim is gainsaid by yourself - who have used at least three names here, without ever diminishing or losing your own identity.
Case in point.
So 'identity' is not a matter of names, whether these are given names or assumed names.
MLK was who he was, irrespective of his name(s). A great leader and champion for Civil Rights. We need more people like him now.
Yes, your family and children have every right to be protected from the 'nuts on the internet', as you express it. And I wish I had the power to help them with that.


Problem is, when is Church teaching really being distorted?

There are probably readers of this thread who think that YOUR interpretations sometimes distort Catholic teaching.


Mary....I'll take a whack at that ....

Not everyone is called to be a Merton or a Day...though Francis did mention both in his Congressional address as being our american very special folks...

But I think we are challenged to follow our prayerful conscience relative to dissent...and that could  mean meeting up with very painful pushback....everything from IRS audits (punitive) to jail.

I deeply hope it won't come to that....but it has occurred to me from the very beginning that freedom is not easily "rewon"


you're so correct.  In those days - and I can vouch for this - the police used their rubber truncheons on our heads, knees and spleens.  Some people must still have headaches.   Today's protests are grade school stuff compared to those days.  Remember Kent State?...


Ethanol: And yet it is old news that we get 1.1 units of energy from corn ethanol for every 1 unit of fossil energy spent to create it (energy return ratio),  and it displaces crops for human consumption.
The misogynist minister who slandered her with an airhead epithet was off base, but I now see it was not baseless. Corn ethanol is not good for the environment, or people, or small engines, but it is good for the special interests who now benefit from it.


This is awful prayers for his family


if they want research money.
just fell of the turnip truck did we.


Is Edmonton where Garland is confined?

Garland was convicted of butchering the grandparents & grandson in Calgary.

Within 24 hours of being transferred to his new home, the welcoming committee hospitalized him. This change in physical conditions should allow Garland to socialize more freely with his fellow inmates.


wow another hate right wing and trump agenda by of course a trudeau nut job liberal


No one was crossing from East Pakistan to West Pakistan - they are over 1500 kms apart.

And your grammar is incorrect. I suggest that you retake Grade 8 Geography and English. After that we can talk as adults.


And no where in the report does Gowdy mention that his party cut funding for embassy security.....go figure.


So, Canada would help if the Israelis had not helped to arm the Myanmar republic?

India and Russia are the major suppliers to the Myanmar government military.


Here's another link for you from a person that was actually on the ground:  www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8w7CKp1FM0


Tax avoidance and tax evasion are both highly sensitive to tax rates.  For more insight, readers might google Laffer Curve.
The exact threshold of tax rates at which tax revenues decline is a complex formula based in part on the degree of belief of the citizenry that they are receiving value for the tax that they pay.  Typically, tax rates over 50% are in the red zone, but it is important to note the additive impact of  income, consumption and asset taxes, as well as the odd head tax.
It is pretty clear from this government's attitude on enforcement that it knows it is well  into the red zone, and each spending splurge and disbursement scandal just adds fuel to the fire that pushes taxpayers past the Laffer Curve peak.


Nothing is done federally until it hits Ontario, then it becomes a "National Crisis".


It was noticeable standing in the crowd at the inauguration that the Trump supporters, the people standing outside on the lawns, are not the rich people we saw in previous Republican administrations. They were lower-middle-class, humble people who were thrilled to be in the nation's capital for the first time. Their clothes were not fancy and a lot of them don't seem to be able to afford good dental care. They are hoping for good-paying jobs with more security. Trump was speaking to them directly when he said Buy American, Hire American. No one knows if these are empty promises from Trump, but his supporters see what he is saying as a hopeful message for them.


Hmm.....Mark Begich is Big Corporations' continued foot in the Senate though not chairman of a committee. Vote for Margaret Stock: Really smart (Harvard Law School with honors, etc), winner of the MacArthur Genius grant, retired Lieutenant Colonel, long time Alaskan and.. INDEPENDENT!


Just hopping on the current bandwagon for their own 15 minutes of fame.  Yawn....


"Package is OK; content minimal"  Thought that the other day listening to some stuff by Van Halen.

How Do you Know When It's Love: aurally, fabulous.  Lyrically?  Ehhh...

Same could be said for hundreds of "songs" produced over the last 20 years or so.  Make that, "half-century", 'cuz you have to include dozens of "dance" hits including the Contours' "Do You Love Me" ("Watch me now!") and Nobody But Me, the 1967--The Human Beinz, hit in which the single word "No" must be repeated 50 times, and in fact, becomes song's memorable background chant. Ahh, but the package!


I fully agree but it's funny when you elect a reality TV star as prez ha!


I saw many comments when this story was originally posted blaming the victim, certain that they would turn out to have been a drunk Native Alaskan stumbling into the road. Now that it turns out he was a sober retired professional white male walking legally in a crosswalk, I wonder how many will acknowledge their mistake. Whatever you may think, racial bias is alive and well in the Last Frontier.


Cultural Marxism is the Leftist intent to destroy the West by destroying the culture.  Multiculturalism, Diversity, Inclusion, Tolerance.  All leftist code for invasion!


Trump uses Assange to cast doubt on claims of Russian hacking

You do not have to rely on Assnge.  Just phone editorial department at Washington comPost., the  specialists in news composting. They get it from an unnamed source at CNN


Given the persecutional and genocidal treatment of Jews in Europe over millenia by Christians, the treatment of Muslims, and the elimination of the Earth-based religions of early Europe, to avoid mentioning some kind of religious partnership and mutual respect in the designed future of Europe is irresponsible and gives the impression that Christians are unaware of the perils inherent in being triumphal, intolerant, and without a  caring vision of diversity. "Proclamation of the Gospel" all too often implies evangelization, structural discrimination, and forceful pressures to hold people down who are different from those in power. Have we not seen enough of what that yields?


It's sad that you choose to allow anger to rule you. Alas, but you're right- it's your burden to carry.


Kids do need well-rested parents that come home at a reasonable hour.  Leaving at 5:00 a.m. and coming home at 8:00 p.m. leaves very little time for parenting.  So, Malosi's point (while a bit harsh on the teacher) is well taken.


I believe it's a license for the animal not the pet store. I think it's considered an exotic animal.


If nothing else, Trump has made an enormous contribution to the US by exposing the people to the truth about their country. He has rubbed their faces in the realities of economic decline, out of control debt, massive unemployment, military weakning, loss of international leadership, political corruption and more. The people don't want to hear this, but their country is in crisis and they have difficult choices ahead.


Democrats are very generous with taxpayers money.


Did you read the original comment? I was talking about responding to calls during the pride events. Sorry, but if a 911 call is made the police who are on duty have no right to refuse to show up just because of juvenile tactics by pride organizers.


Classless Canadian. In addition, conduct unbecoming of a team captain. The Ducks should strip the C from him.


Censorship...the start of a dictatorship.


You mean that phony scripted BS speech she made yesterday?
Michelle Obama did not get emotional for Juanita Broaddrick.
Michelle Obama did not get emotional for Kathleen Willey.
Michelle Obama did not get emotional for Paula Jones.
Michelle Obama did not get emotional for Connie Hamzy.
Michelle Obama did not get emotional for Eileen Wellstone.
Michelle Obama did not get emotional for Sandra Allen James.
Michelle Obama did not get emotional for Christy Zercher.
When will Michelle Obama get emotional about all of Clinton's alleged sexual assault and rape victims?
PS- I know several women, and they are not buying into the phony manufactured outrage made up by the msm.
4 or 5 of the women making these absurd allegations have been caught lying about Trump. One claiming she was assaulted at a concert that never happened. And another is tied to the Clinton Foundation.
But you wouldn't know that, because you get all your news from your TV and rags like the ADN.


You missed the point by 1000 miles. Better get back to your "friends" on Facebook!
