What has changed under Notley is a $10 billion dollar annual deficit, spent on paving and sidewalk replacements throughout the province. That will have to be paid for through personal taxes, not royalty windfalls.

What has changed is an Alberta now on the permanent defensive about its primary industry, after issuing a string of grovelling apologies to any and all anti-Alberta, anti-oil and gas industry fanatics, without a single thing to show for it in exchange.

And for the record, Alberta private enterprise, led by the oil and gas industry itself, has managed to scrape and claw its way back to tenuous profitability, using brutal cost cutting measures, without a single government nickel, federal or provincial. So as for your wishful thinking about things "getting worse" for Albertans, you'll just have to join the long line of disappointed anti-Alberta schadenfreuders who infest these boards.


Mostly about insurance, what this article didn't address is the higher cost of virtually every medical procedure in Alaska (compared U.S. generally).  Part of the higher cost is attributable to our small towns spread across vast distances, quashing hope of economies of scale.  Thus, no HMOs in AK.  But another part of the higher cost is that doctors, clinics and hospitals charge much more in Alaska than they could for the same procedure in the Lower 49.  Read T. R. Reed's The Healing of America, in which he describes other countries' systems where doctors cannot legally charge more than a set fee for a procedure.  Medicare comes close to that, but, until we have a single payer U.S. system, not everyone is on Medicare, so those who must buy insurance policies get shafted by the insurance companies, which make bank off of Alaskans.  Remember the recurring Medicare "fix" because AK's procedure costs exceed Medicare allowable costs by so much?  This article only addresses one aspect.


Remember Canada, Justin is doing this with no regard for the environment or human rights. He should not do any deals with China unless he forces them to reduce emissions. Any increased business we give them will result in increased manufacturing which will result in products being produced with a substantially higher carbon output. So Justin can penalise us with carbon taxes while this deal will actually increase overall carbon emissions.

He also continues to let the human rights issue go uncontested. Do we as Canadians really want to allow China unfettered access to our country and natural resources.


...and democrats, hopefully,  avail of some online courses in Economics 101.


Colorado needs to get hot while Arizona needs to have a bit of a losing streak. It would be great to host that play-in game.

Very true, Janet...and that is why some may feel federal recognition is an appropriate response (?) since Congress has ignored and been ignorant of the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act of 1920.

It has been hard to get the state to provide state resources to DHHL even though this is their kuleana to do so since statehood, and punctuated in the state's constitution since 1978.


What "Envision Eugene" comprises can be hard to pin down. The 18 recommendations were affirmed by the larger Envision Eugene "Community Resource Group". To some degree some of them are reflected in the March 2, 2011 draft proposal, a descriptive document that City Council "approved." The formal "adoption" package is the legally-binding stuff and is in draft stage, and the public review and adoption process has not been initiated.

Oh yes, Mr. Haxby, Trump is a hero for fighting against his "foe" and fake ne...wait a minute. That's some strong BS there Haxby.  Haven't you left out a few things?

Wikileaks, Russia, Trump's campaign colluding with Russia and Assange, not to mention some in the FBI and more.  As for Hillary Clinton being a "poor candidate " and "checkered past":  Are you saying that Trump's past is squeaky clean?  As for being a poor candidate: I guess she just wasn't a good enough, non-stop liar like Trump.  Aside from working her ass off for the American people for decades, she was knowledgeable, competent and had been unjustly harassed by right wing nuts for her entire time in public service.  You, like so many Trump Chumps don't have the brains or integrity to appreciate her hard work on your behalf. You'll all spoiled children who are mad at mommy, so you ran away to the Lie-Lie Land invented by a self-aggrandizing, lying, completely incompetant clown, weekend-warrior president, Trump.


Weird story. Makes no sense. Pass.


I really hate reading articles such as this one.  Instead of allowing Mr. Twit and his white supremacist shadows run good people off the job site, the reverse needs to happen and happen quick.

"The claim that this issue is about Christian values is a huge canard."

Exactly.  We must always remember that Jesus said, "Send those Samaritans back to Samaria, where they belong."

Most ignorant Demonrats at the 3rd World Demonrat State of Hawaii, have no idea how to successfully manage a Business, Company, Corporation.   There is a long list of Failed Demonrat Businesses, Companies, Corporations as Bankruptcy Closures, Bankruptcy Liquidations, Mergers then Closures at the 3rd World Demonrats Anti Business, Anti Company, Anti Corporation Demonrat State of Hawaii.

Forgot to mention you might want to look up who the Majority Stockholders are.

(sarcasm) Thanks Hawaii Demonrats for F___king Hawaii Citizens again, with your anti Hawaii Citizens Actions.  Obamacare needs to provide a 4 pound jar of KY Jelly or Vasoline a Year so U.S. Citizens a holes don't hurt as much.


No, he's a liar not a journalist.


By creating the power vacuum that allowed ISIS to become the power it is today, yes, he essentially created many of the refugees we see today. But you could care less about facts, right?


The question more pressing is, why did millions of Christians in the USA recently vote for an anti-Christianity atheist. Why did USA Christians hate and detest the only two presidential candidates (Jimmy Carter and Bernie Sanders) in the past 50 years who followed the teachings attributed to Jesus?


UH is not a similar institution.  UH is far superior and is tasked with teaching, public service and adding to the world's store of knowledge through research.  Faculty in all fields are expected to research and publish in their field.  UH is critical to Hawaii's economy.  HPU's rivals are BYU and Chaminade but they are rated much higher than hpu according to the annual rating of universities posted by SA.


If any US President can simply be blocked by the deep state, then the US is not free at all, and its elections are meaningless. The establishment does not tolerate any leader's deviation from the status quo. It is liberal authoritarianism masquerading as democracy. There is an illusion of choice when in reality there is none.


We are doomed as a province as we have given the decision making process to malcontents. We have forgotten in the age of apologies and forgiveness what made us successful.  A hint it is not letting special interest groups make bad decisions on behalf of the province.  In our hatred of  all things past including proper governance we have become an indebted social assistance addicted do nothing jurisdiction.


It is fairly  difficult to determine if a person has multiple accounts if those accounts do not use a common item such as an email address.  You can easily set up an number of email accounts on the free sites such as Yahoo and Google.  Then use those accounts to get you user id's from the ADN.  With those accounts and multiple window you can move from one window to another and post as different accounts.  It not quite that easy but it can be done by anyone who is willing to spend some time getting it set up.


I think it's pretty clear that adding a homeless shelter will increase our homeless population by attracting more homeless, just as our abundant free meals, laundry, clothes and park camping have already done. The real question is how we manage to house people who need shelter and have no means of obtaining it without bringing ever more bums to town to drink, shoot up and defecate in our parks.

Perhaps I'm overly optimistic, but I think it can be done. Of course we will need to make a serious financial commitment (perhaps foregoing a city hall for a decade and charging city staff for parking), but if we fund several hundred shelter beds and simultaneously provide substance abuse treatment, job training and enforce our laws (yes, jail beds), we might just make Eugene inhospitable for bums while housing those in need who aren't predators or parasites.

Unfortunately, our clown car city council seems determined to add a tiny shelter in an already dense homeless area. Failure guaranteed.


Thank you, Don!  So appropriate to mark the passing yesterday of Patricio Flores, our first Mexican-American bishop, whose cathedral (and the funerary urn of Davy Crockett) are located right across the street.  A tip of the tail on my ol' coonskin cap to you!


The concept of free speech has reasonable limits.  Yelling "fire" in a crowded theatre is one such limit.

Another reasonable limit applies to foreign nationals seeking to whip up political dander among an expatriate population.

Unless we want immigration to be capable of being confused with some form of aggressive invasion (which is being redefined by the moment), and thereby invite even more legitimate fears that would hinder the flow of legitimate immigration, we have to accept that foreign agitators have absolutely no right to address a gathering of their compatriots in another jurisdiction.

This is where we need a good-fences-make-good-neighbours policy.  The fact that a soaring megalomaniac like Erdogan is the instigator in this case should provide an extra alert that this is not a legitimate free speech issue.


Columbus Day is considered an Italian holiday because it was pushed by Italian immigrants at the turn to the century in an effort to assimilate as Americans.

I think you'll find very few that's "making light" of the organization. There are a few people from every group that are idiots and can't see value where there is value. Ignore them because they are insignificant and by giving a response or comment, it only feeds their stupidity encouraging them to make more comments. Focus on the positive, kind of like the organization is doing, and keep moving forward.  Looking back only gives people a sore neck and keeps you from avoiding obstacles in front of you.  I applaud them for their effort to promote youth to become better members of society. It helps all of us regardless of our race/ethnic background.


You must be referring to Jeff Flake. McCain isn't up for re-election until 2022.

We must acknowledge, though, that McCain's medical status may well have more to say about the future of his career than the Senate election cycle.


John Havelock's selective liberalism is rather laughable and somewhat funny considering that he is listed as an "university scholar" at the bottom. He gave American football "few more years" but simple fact is, violence in sports, sells and Havelock's view of non violence in sport is only left of the Lord of the Rings. People boxed out their own choice. People played football out of choice. Everyone got a choice. There are many sports and activities that are literally life or death. Now Mr. Havelock want take that away due to chance of long term injuries?? Bit silly. If Mr. Havelock want to put safety bumpers all around, let him do so at his home. By the way, Mr. Havelock, driving a vehicle injured and killed more people each day then boxing and football combined for an entire year. Banning driving will save so much lives......but yet you are too hypocritical to advocate that, eh?


I tip because the extra bit of money is not significant to me and may be very significant to the person receiving it.  Twenty bucks can go a long way in some places.  I especially tip the chambermaids - that is really tough work they do and I think they are often forgotten.


No, just plain no.  Of course they made their conclusion on drug use and alcoholism fit the definition of a disease, otherwise they couldn't get the funding.  If you get in a car wreck and it changes the functions of the organs or the brain, is the car wreck then a disease also?


Every animal I've ever shared my life with has been incredibly friendly and sweet.  Of course I don't use them, abuse them, treat them like inanimate objects or fleshy alarm systems, beat them, leave them out in the freezing cold--you know, the way a lot of people in Alaska do.  Try a little tenderness:  It goes a long way. ,


“We aren’t winning,” Trump complained, as quoted. “We are losing.”


You have kahoneys to say posters here are ignorant of state finances.  Not so. We were ignorant to trust people like you who said they could understand finances and elected them to do the job.


We also need a school board that will rebuild the district so as to help our kids, but also to improve our house values.

The fact is, that nearly all buyers of homes in douglas county will be looking at the public schools and our district. Prior to the kock bros selection of the board, we ranked in the top 7 or even 5 districts in the state. Now, we are at 19 or in the 20s. Basically, we are falling fast due to the current board.

It's all about growing the liberal voting base and growing a dependent class of people who will support the ruling elites' goal of growing government. All the while the ruling elites enrich themselves through their power of controlling where taxpayer money is spent.


Only 3%.

And yet look at how this issue, already, consumes us.

Dougie Saunders has made a career out of writing these finger wagging, tut-tut articles.

But when you dig into the real numbers, one stark fact stands out.

The only way that Muslims will not become a majority in Canada within this century, is if they start having smaller families. Much smaller.

You don't believe me?  Look around you. Ask your Muslim co-workers how many children they have.

I had a taxi ride from downtown Calgary this past holiday season. The taxi driver, bearing a Muslim name, said he had 7 children. Another on the way. OK, anecdotal.

Perhaps you do not mind the prospect of Canada being a Muslim majority nation within 80 or 90 years. Perhaps, like my European forebears, generation 2 will have fewer kids. But then of course, those immigrant forebears of mine were farmers and ranchers, not urbanites.

Perhaps this, perhaps that.

Just recline back in your LaZBoy and let the hockey game wash over you.


luke.... how's about you answer a question.  The USA was just caught using white phosphorous in Iraq.  According to international law this amounts to a war crime because it was near innocent civilians....   What should happen to the USA Luke?   Should we ignore 'actual' crimes against people.    I know this will fly in the face of your trumpian logic but let's give it a shot shall we.


Nope. He seems like a scared, angry guy who is acting out of fear.


Sorry, I don't take seriously posts from whites who claim to be this or that--"Indian", etc.--to try and "validate" themselves and their claims they're "not racist".  They routinely claim to belong to the very group they disparage.  While I actually have encountered "Stockholm syndrome" in one Samoan with whom I debated about the war in Iraq (he was a son of an innkeeper on Tutu'ila, and he'd been ruined by both the US military and the CCC of American Samoa), I generally regard such claims as attempts to hide from well-deserved censure by more reasonable people.  In the albeit unlikely event your claim is accurate, it's even worse--what Mexicans refer to as "la mosqa en leche" syndrome--i.e. identifying with those who walk on you in an attempt to salvage an illusion of self-respect.


Yeah...teaching in public schools is a total cash cow. Lol...oh and all those liberals pledge allegiance to the flag, with sincerity, every morning with the kids. The vast majority are from white middle class backgrounds - so not your standard America-hatin' radicals.


I firmly believe in the benefits of blueberries but I don't understand the concentrate approach.   Blueberries are widely available and relatively cheap with 600 gram frozen packs going for $5 or $6.  This amount would easily last an individual a week.   Blueberries are by far the best and cheapest superfood.

Why buy blueberries in anything other than their whole food, natural form??  Extracts are processed and more expensive.   Buy frozen or from Chile over most of the year and then go to pick your own farms for 6 weeks in the summer for la creme de la creme.

Cheers,
John Meyer


how is yours not an absurd comment when the only abuse perpetuated was by the arrogant, angry, and newly emboldened con who's now facing charges for it? this reporter was properly conducting himself while working for us, the exponentially marginalized citizenry, and abusing him or other reporters should be a felony, and in this instance, equal to a hate crime. how dare you castigate this or any peaceable, professional, and necessary member of the press, especially regarding this insanity!


This is all Harper's fault!


I am sure the NFL cares.  I stopped watching a few years ago when a game took 4 hours to complete.  This is a sixty minute game not a 240 minute game.  TV is destroying itself with so much advertising.

As for honoring the flag, the players are honoring the flag by opposing cops killing young black men.  When cops kill young black men they are not honoring the flag nor the country.


Yeah right. How many assaults have happened because of this silly sign. The perpetually offended.


jerry69, Maybe Judge Watson didn't follow your principles, but he followed Constitutional principles, as he emphasized at the start of the hearing.


Legislating incompetence is not the answer. This is akin to saying, "Well, there were no signs to tell me that I shouldn't jump off a cliff, but... ". If you it looks dangerous and you don't have the proper experience, equipment, guide.. then don't do it. If you decide against that basic logic, then don't go looking to blame local government for not giving you proper warning.


We've got thousands of square miles of perfectly legal places to camp. They just don't happen to be in the prime real estate that holds our city parks. One also does not have the right to trash the place no matter where. Unfortunately, our bums, emboldened by the friends of homelessness, can't be bothered to carry their rubbish to our plentiful garbage cans and they often aren't even toilet trained.

As someone who has picked up and disposed of more trash from homeless people than I have generated myself (by a factor of over five), I'm fresh out of sympathy for these parasites. Every ne camp that is sanctioned brings us ever more theft, ever more trash in our public space and ever more human feces in our parks, streets and yards. Time to bring back chain gangs.


Everyone so related their. "Come on cuz, I no li arrest u, we one party tonite at yo uncle house." "He gone scold me yeah?"

"No one has high confidence that the U.S. missile defence system would have anything approaching 100 per cent accuracy in shooting down incoming missiles."

Correct me if I'm wrong but to date the only successful anti-missile tests have come when the defenders have plenty of warning and the missile's trajectory is known in advance.  So, in reality, nobody has the slightest idea whether these things will work in real world conditions.  That's a lot less than "100 per cent accuracy."


The city actually covered up the graffiti, without asking or telling anyone. Also- the owner of the businesses in question is NOT the owner of the building. Writer needs to get her facts straight and should have a moral obligation to report the truth. This does not appear to be the most valid journalism.


RG, thanks for the article on the "Wine Trail" with the six local wineries flourishing in their "unique microclimate  in the coastal foothills."
However, it's time we take a closer look at the geography there.  Several are described as being in Junction City, but that is only their official address because  it's the nearest city.  However, all are actually   to the west of JC, and in fact are west of Territorial Highway and the Long Tom River.  Your directions of driving north on 99 to JC are OK for those who live in Eugene, but not for all of us in Central and Western Lane County. We simply drive north  on historic Territorial Highway, which Eugeneans and Springfielders can also do after driving west to Veneta, to "enjoy the country drive with beautiful scenery all around."

While  "Prairie Mountain"  is a special area, you'll find a scattering of  fine wineries  and a few restaurants all  along Territorial by  the Coast Range  foothills south  to Lorane.
Think NS, not just EW!


. “While immigration should not be based on race or creed,” the Blue Book declared, neither “should it be explicitly designed to radically or suddenly alter the ethnic makeup of Canada, as it increasingly seems to be.”

It is remarkable that the above statement was then, and would be now, toxic to a political career when it ought to be the absolute right of a sovereign nation to decide on such a policy.


I would have a lot more trust and confidence in the outcome with my doctor!!!!!


I'm no fan of Maher, but would it be better if Al Sharpton spent more energy going after a bigger fish, like reducing gang violence?


Ethereum is grinding lower now as more people figure out its not a store of value like Bitcoin is. There is no limit to the amount of Ethereum that could be created.


Yes, Daryl Williams,  thanks for posting this article. Not only should Trump read it - so should Barry McKenna and the other Globe writers who support the destruction of supply-management in Canada but never talk about the downside or do any real analysis. They just repeat all the cliches they were taught in Economics 101 all those years ago.


Now this MAN traitor can use the same bathroom as your little girl. HE is free thanks to obama.


The good general Kelly has been infected by trumpinitis.  Symptoms include a total disregard for history, a tendency to lie and distort, an urgent need to blame others and never say you're sorry or admit mistakes.  Without proper treatment, usually in the form of an extended vacation, the condition will worsen and become chronic in nature.


Hockey is a business, and shouldn't be treated like the arts.

Why doesn't Imperial Oil demand that Calgary pay for a new building? They can make the same arguments.


Just so, so very unfounded.

You decry the system that routinely tops the List of Happiest Countries?  I only lived in Scandinavia a year, but I had no sense of this lack of freedom you are imagining, nor having been surrounded by autobots or crushing weight of an oppressive state.  They are as individual as we are, and enjoy things like free education, decent health care for all, fantastic public transportation, and a nimble and inventive social system that won't let anyone have to hit rock bottom.  Also their numerous political parties prevent politicians and innovation from stagnating like ours has.  Have you noticed how bad capitalism is at a number of these things?  It is because capitalism is a system that revolves around money and how citizens can provide that, and their system revolves around their citizenry and how money can benefit them.  You seem to presume that the US has discovered some kind of utopian paradise that can't be had any other way, but I suggest that your measuring stick is rather small.


It would be reasonable, although I was posting to point out the illiteracy of the Register-Guard reporter. The story has since been corrected, although the Register Guard never posts that stories have been updated at a particular time, it just acts as if nothing happened. The last paragraph remains nonsensical journalistically.


Do ethics, morality, probity and embellishment mean anything to you? Get a dictionary and look up the meaning of those words. He swore an oath to uphold those values for his Queen's Commission and Cabinet appointment . He has broken that oath.

OK, here's a little tip.

You've been deluded. Led astray, fed a fantasy.

Trudeau has values ?


"Demand fuels Toronto house prices, not lack of supply, study finds" " but the shortage is not fundamentally a supply problem but one driven by an imbalance caused by speculative demand in Toronto’s market, which is fuelling rampant price increases and a market bubble that will inevitably burst. : Globe and Mail March 13/17

"There’s only one way to fix the housing bubble"  “There isn’t going to be a housing bust.” That’s because there’s a big shortage of the kind of housing people want to buy. “It’s wholly a supply problem.”... : Globe and Mail March 27 /17

so, this article directly contradicts recent articles saying the opposite

so how about this as a simple test....a punishing speculation tax applied on top of a 100% ban on foreign ownership of property unconnected to residency criteria.

It'll only take a short while to determine which position is more accurate in its view regarding what's actually going on...

There's a difference between being prejudiced and grievance based on bitter experience.  Just sayin'.


British newspapers are outraged over his firing, and are saying that a white woman accused  Halls of being a racist, after overhearing him privately joke with an African American friend of his: the famous singer Reginald Mobley.   Mobley himself, made no complaint at all.

Sorry - you did not understand what he said.  Even opponents described Roe as based upon SCOTUS finding in the Constitution justification for female privacy rights that extend to an abortion decision.  Some explain this as *equal* protection since males have complete privacy rights when it comes to medical decisions.  You may disagree but let's not make up a *strange statement*.

So Nortel did produce something good besides a failed cheating company. Good on these lads for using their entrepreneurial skills and making something useful. The name Instant Pot does conjure up  a different product though - now if they could add "pot "recipes they will strike gold !


There's no tables turning,

The CBC does not produce or pay for Schitt's Creek; they simply add it to their disastrous schedule of licensed programming. Schitt's Creek could be uploaded to YouTube. Canadians have already paid for it via the New Media Fund and should be allowed to stream it commercial free. Schitt's Creek has nothing to do with the CBC. The CBC "broadcasts" content they do not own and did not create in some sort of elaborate scheme to justify their annual $1.2 billion hand-out from Canadian taxpayers.


#53 in the world after nearly a decade under the ACA. Interesting.


looks like the fair value of Canadian dollar is less than 80 cents on the dollar.  In other words, that's what Canadian labours worth.


Trump Tried To Take All the Credit For ISIS Defeat

Trump tried to take personal credit,  not mentioning the contributions made by our military, many who are on the ground fighting, the foreign forces fighting, or the coordination with our allies that cut off both funds and recruitment for ISIS.

In the mind of this incredibly infantile man, he did it all by himself.

It has to be pointed out that Trump only continued a policy that President Obama initiated.

Again, like all Trump's claims of accomplishments, Trump tries to take credit for something he had absolutely nothing to do with.


PFD meaning permanent fund if you didnt know. I want the mineral rights back that was givin up on my land for this PERMANENT FUND DIVIDEND

The rural satellite campuses have 1/3 of all the students, generate 1/2 of all credit hours, and cost 1/10 of the UA budget.  The rural campuses are the most efficient, AND people in those communities the first rung on the ladder to higher education.

I found an article describing the mechanism of action of these massive "fuel-air" bombs: (Wikipedia)  "A thermobaric weapon is a type of explosive that utilizes oxygen from the surrounding air to generate an intense, high-temperature explosion. .... They are considerably more destructive when used against field fortifications such as foxholes, tunnels, bunkers, and caves—partly due to the sustained blast wave, and partly by consuming the available oxygen inside."  Please note that they "consume the available oxygen inside" - which makes the weapon's actions similar to poison gas that suffocates the victims.


Warren Keogh....you forgot to mention a moron as well. Get your facts completely in order or you'll be called a liberal shill.


It's a tangent, but I really think the "bequest boom" might be over-stated.

In general, baby boomers are probably going to live longer than their forebears. And this is great news! But health care and general elder care are INCREDIBLY expensive and will probably only become more expensive over time. That is going to eat up a lot of this potential wealth transfer.

I also think that a huge portion of that wealth to be bequeathed, at least in Canada, is related to real estate. I'm not sure how much of it will remain as the social costs from housing unaffordability mount and governments are forced to address the inequities created by their policies in this area.

Though the future will surely continue to bring forth other ways to improve our lives, people might simply have less wealth that needs managing. Maybe financial firms will simply be less relevant long-term.


Not exactly. Most industrial climate change emissions are the result of nonenzymatic oxidation. A key feature of this form of oxidation is the formation of toxic compounds, from carbon monoxide to dioxane. A reduction in climate change emissions will help reduce the poisons in our air locally. I'll take that as a by-product any day.


let me guess...Dembo and Star would like to see SMG take over the management of the McDonald Center?

Hmmmm...the only state owned ice arena in town charges nearly half the price/hour as all the muni rinks and you wonder why prime ice is being left unused at the city rinks? Price it fairly and it will be utilized. Dembo, Star, while you still have your audit and ice books open, let's also look into the confilct of interest that currently exists between the cities only privately owned rink, it's major tenants and the SMG Boeke/Dempsey arena manager. Everyone using a city owned rink is being forced to subsidize the profits for the only privatly owned rink in town! Letting a privately run rink dicate the price the public has to pay for a city owned/operated facility is just wrong! $400/hr is highway robery and backroom politics!

Add in local speculators and  ramped up immigration programs, student visas, TFWs, provincial nominees, investor immigrant programs, and the sky is the limit for demand for our homes.


That's what I'm wondering and we need more details. If the owner came outside and caught the guy breaking into his car and shot him, it seems like a case of excessive force on the a part of the owner. Is a car or the property in it worth a person's life? That is debatable but quickly leads down a slippery slope so no point even going there.


Maybe it's much more than the Religion itself but of the followers who take the written words to the next level without care of human life. idk, just thinking here on idle time


All propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate itself to the comprehension of the least intelligent of those whom it seeks to reach.


People of Alaska don't want the Pebble Mine, they will be the deciding factor.....State has to approve it also....


Why pick on Facebook? Fake news is now a staple of the major news outlets.


FWW - what are you talking about?
"First, Khadr's country was invaded by the US and allies " -

You must be talking about 1812, because that is the last time the US invaded Canada. Or are you actually trying to say he wasn't a Canadian? If so, I am all for that and therefore what happened over there/Gitmo doesn't qualify him any protection under the CANADIAN Charter of Rights/Freedoms.


He did say that he is going to look into voter fraud, so what's the problem now? That he does what he said?


"Why don't we address the issue of over-federalization?"

Translation, Big Insurance and Big Pharma didn't get enough goodies out of this bill and my handlers won't let me vote on it.


Denied nothing - got the actual facts.

No error on my part to admit - looking forward to your next parry.


Congratulations! Full marks for originality.


If you can see the melodrama in your comment, then maybe you can begin to see the point in mine.  Climate changes, so what?  It has been changing for centuries.  Make adjustments as we need to, but do not get alarmist over it.   The sky is not falling.   Get over the excitement.


President - Republican
Senate - Republican
House - Republican

Oregon- In total denial


It's as though they can't even be bothered to pretend at journalistic integrity anymore and this writer is one of the more egregious examples. Pure unadulterated hacktivism.


"I don't understand why a return to the 1958 liturgy would be an artificial and selective reconstruction?"
It shouldn't be.  At least not if a return the some selectively-imaged Second or Third Century liturgy wasn't considered such when updating the mass post-Vatican II.


Uh, the rich also benefit from a myriad of tax dodges that Average ol' Joe doesn't. The rich also disproportionately serve in the military. They also hide their money offshore. They also make the decisions to ship jobs overseas.
I hope you're rich to so love that class. If not, have you ever asked yourself why you do? Is wealth something to instill shock and awe?
Note: I am not unsuccessful, and I would like to see a healthy jump in taxes for the successful. Without the system beneath them, the wealthy would have paper and metal, that's all.


The left will use Mr. Trump far more times than President  Trump


It's amazing how fast this guy slaughtered his credibility. I guess that's what happens when you work for trump.


Sadly yes, them too. And the sedevacationists.


One thing is for sure, Oregon State football is that bad!


Woodrow Wilson was born in Virginia and raised  in Augusta, Georgia and Columbia, South Carolina. He was 20 the first time he went north of the Mason-Dixon line. Mr "Nazi Germany allowed conscientious objection to conscription" shows his ignorance of history again.


Cute story. I live in oz and the mere thought of driving an electric vehicle around this big, empty, hot continent which is the same size as mainland USA, is frightening.


The concept of economic anger is interesting but we need some data to establish its existence. The article in The Walrus doesn't do this. It just mentions "economic anger" once.
People should be angry that a decent and secure life is now available to only the top 20% or so of the population. That anger should drive them to become politically active. Instead, people live in denial, borrowing money to live the life that they think they deserve. Easy credit, easy bankruptcy, little consequence. Harsh lessons not learned.
If writers want us to empathize with the plight of young modest-income people, they need to find us some examples of people diligently trying to live within their means. Stories like that of Kervin and Kyra are easily dismissed as entitlement and fecklessness.


If regular confession works for you, that's great. Don't assume it works as well for everyone else.


Lars, thank you for one of the most reasoned comments I've seen at the adn.


You are very civil but completely wrong in your economic scenario.   How does keeping private sector capitol in the private sector hurt the majority of individuals who live and work in the private sector to make a living?   This class warfare is so ludicrous. Please study the 20th Century communist economies or in this Century Venezuela to discover that after the people eat their rich, their government officials get fat as they slowly starve to death.  It doesn't work every time it is tried.


Beyond the water pollution have you folks ever driven past the Climax mine area?  Destruction for miles around.  I never understand how a private company is allowed to rape and pillage public land like that - it's disgusting.  Same goes for that Henderson Mine but there the damage is hidden in that valley up to the let as you start up Berthoud Pass.  The Henderson operation has destroyed an entire mountain and TWO adjacent valleys.  JustlLook at the damage from satellite views - very sad.


We all know Trump is a serial liar. This incident was true to his nature.


Denver looked good. The QB looked surprisingly good.  But remember, Prescott is a young quarterback who now has a history on film that can be studied and picked apart.  So a nice win, but perhaps not a signature win quite yet.  The Chiefs, Patriots and Raiders still loom large as potential tests.  If I'm not mistaken, NE will actually venture to mile high later this regular season.


Excellent article. I'm going.


Guess what? They all have to abide by local zoning. That's how most business works.


Exactly what have I been paying for the past 31 years on the house that I have lived in during that period?  31 years X $ 6,000 = $ 186,000


thank you. right back at ya, sister.


Bunch of prima donnas on this team, they need to step up and start playing some football!


Mr. LoPresti:
It seems you stuck your head in door of this room where a pie fight was raging. Now voters appear to be asking questions. Will you respond?


The conversation over just how much it is going to cost to operate and maintain this rail system is rarely ever heard and when it is discussed it is only in the vaguest terms. This will be much more expensive than projected as well. Sometimes being an adult means simply saying that we cannot to afford to buy it.


Brock university seems to be on the right track.  It is in the Canadian interest to help graduate education in socially important but politically sensitive fields.  The Turkish example is an important one.  The swing towards totalitarian regimes must be reversed.


I'm a non-partisan.  As long as I am I will be a minority.


Your screams for help from your Progressive Psychosis are heard!
Hope you get the help you need.


Ah, the "real folks" argument!

As in everyone who isn't just like me with my beliefs and attitudes and habits isn't a 'real' person and is thus a lesser being.

Strut away!


incompetent crooks.


Junior is embarassing remember he also left the country when he gave our tax $$$ to Khadr.  I was glad to see Brian Lily and Conservative Kempel on Fox News telling the world how outraged 71% of us are.


If you want to learn the true legacy of Christianity, read "A History of Pagan Europe" by Jones & Pennick. This includes Halloween, Christmas & Easter, with all of the strange things that are included into "true believing" church services, all in the name of Christianity. None of which are going to be tolerated by a Second Coming Jesus...


Anderson, That is unrealistic. Because one becomes a legislator doesn't mean one cannot have cordial relations with others. What if a legislator is invited to a friends home for dinner and the dinner conversation turns to politics? What if a lobbyist offers meals to relatives of legislators? This holier than thou attitude we espouse for legislators is nonsense. Of course direct payments (bribes) and gifts are off limits, but a social setting to present one’s case is reasonable. Isn’t it a bit ironic that you would outlaw meals of any kind yet labor unions can contribute thousands of dollars to political campaigns? Don’t you think the labor unions expect a quid pro quo for their money?


Hello? To tweet that the press is the "enemy of the American people" goes way beyond simple criticism. This was a fascistic condemnation of the power of a free press from the highest office in the land. If you're not worried by such paranoia you are asleep or a fellow traveller.


I couldn't "see" that happening.


Love begets love. Hatred begets hatred. Belligerence begets belligerence. 'Humanities ancient dilemma.' The only thing that's changed is the technology that media uses to brings it too us.


dar: not a word in defence of scheer? I understand the difficulty  but surely someone who knows him well enough to call him 'Andrew' should be able to find SOMEthing.
And keep going on the anti-Trudeau thing. It worked so well for your party in the last election. You need positives, not negatives, to win and the cpc wouldn't know a positive if it gave them a hickey.
BTW, if you know some way 'Gerry' (you love name-dropping, doncha?) would pass me a few bucks, let me know. But I'm willing to post about scheer for free - it's fun and easy to do. Unlike your problem with finding something good to say about him.


Private profits, socialized losses.

You knew what these people were about when you elected them, folks...


Coming from you, thats a badge of honor!


It is outdated that Healthcare should be a Provincial responsibility.

This is not and should not be a partisan issue.   This will take a generation to fix.   But the bottom line is that our current system is unsustainable.

Anybody who values "socialized medicine" has to think really hard about the current delivery system.    Eg:  Why, IF Canadians are all entitled to same standard of free healthcare, should a person in Nova Scotia be under the care of a doctor who answers to a totally different set of standards, fee schedule, etc vs a person in Alberta?

Why do we need a separate billing, record keeping, payment, and administration for every Province?

Canada currently has 11 separate health bureaucracy fiefdoms when only one is necessary.   This is a huge waste of money and the most inefficient way to administer healthcare to a country of only 35 million.

It is long past the time to re-open the Constitution so that future generations will not be stuck with the current mess.


Fishing is hot today!  Gotta throw another one back.  Small fry.

Glad you enjoyed the bait.


Cut per capita spending to what it was pre oiled and we can talk about it.
Until that happens career politicians such as yourself should polish up the resumes and start looking for other work because you're not worth anything to the public.


Election influencing by other countries happens all the time. They do it, we do it. Obama influenced the Brexit vote, the election in Israel. I'm I to believe the many in Colorado didn't know who they were going to vote for until the Russian influenced them? Colorado voted for Hillary so if the system was scanned it was scanned for Hillary.


I wonder if it would work to say something flagrant that would catch Civil Comments' attention -- and also include a "Hey, editors! Your subhead and second paragraph are messed up!" message.


My dog loved driving in the F-150 with me and her smell never bothered me a bit considering that I often reeked of diesel or other oilfield aromas. Daisy tolerated my smell and I tolerated hers.

By the time that I retired and no longer carried my previous aromas Daisy had also aged and didn't seem to get into the predicaments that caused her previous dog smells. I have had two new F-150s since my retirement and Daisy happily traveled with me in the first new truck. Daisy has since died and never did get a ride in my current F-150.

I kept the old F-150 to use for the tough, dirty jobs around my place and I can still smell Daisy (and diesel) whenever I drive the old truck.


Courtview reveals quite a history including sex abuse of a minor, he would have been incarcerated a long time and with that charge would have had problems with both inmates and staff so they most likely would have kept him in adm seg, so he may have decided it was not worth continuing to live.


I think this is a wonderful story and yet I have seen it three times now. Why can't we see the same repeated story about the good things that happen in Alaska Native villages, instead of when something goes bad? The ADN needs to adjust its performance and perspectives. All I ever read about the Alaska Native villages is when something is wrong. Let's be fair.


Very well said, You Gotta B Kidding.


nice try at deflection.  She is a liar and no matter how many times you say she is not does not change the fact.  She lies, denies and blames others.


dang volcanoes


Apparently feminist "theologians" or commentators know much more about the mind of God than did Jesus Himself.
It seems a silly exercise to me to change the lyrics to match one's ill-conceived concept of a gendered God counter to all Scriptural and Doctrinal references to Him as Father, King, etc. despite the fact that the Church has always understood that Father is not a gendered identity but a relationship.  It's an exercise in idolatry.
I will say that WRT "Holy God We Praise Thy Name" that goddess fits the measure better than "Go-od", but in the second verse you are still left with the problem of making a two syllable word stretch for three notes; "Fa-ah-ther" and the proposed "Mo-uh-ther".


No.
It's you.


Quick Jughead and Climate Barbie: raise my taxes and save those polar bears!


I left the Church immediately after the promulgation of Humanae Vitae, by Pope Paul VI.  A major error on his part and just one of many examples of the misogyny of the clerical overclass.


Kevin donates to ADN like Trump donates to charities...


"an online media outlet/propaganda machine/moneymaking scheme that borrows language and tactics from the dodgier corners....."
Wow, I could of sworn this media outlet was talking about itself and its own extremist views.
Regressives, ops, "progressives" hold a rally, destroy property and that is ok, because you know, they are "progressives" demonstrating for the betterment of society. A conservative group holds a peaceful rally just  trying to promote what they believe in for the betterment of society but it is a "ugly populist uprising." Seriously Globe? President Trump is right, the MSM has become nothing but fake news. Nobody believes you anymore other than your own groupies that you are an unbiased news outlet. Such a sad state for modern journalism.


A house blowing up or not is not a matter of tolerance or intolerance.   It is completely unrelated.

I see you love dance on the bodies of the dead to further a political point.    As usually is the case it's completely unrelated to the dead bodies you are dancing all over in your rush to make political hay.


Lets start an income tax so the ones losing their jobs can get excited about paying more taxes when they find work again.


Honestly peeps; where exactly would the path of this alternate road go? Sure, go around Kaena, too late it's a Bird Sanctuary, go over or around the mountains...Through grandma's house, and who's back yard in Nana's or Maili or Makakilo? Just use Google Earth, there ain't no path left unless you plan on uprooting entire neighborhoods!  The problem is population density! Too many people double stacking in homes on the Westside because the cost of rent and/or homes are still some what affordable to most working class citizens. Just my 2 nickels for the day!


Southwest is coming.......get ready HA to get bachi for all your greedy ways.


Cher,

You can also post pics of bees and any other sort of insect on my Facebook page ~ https://www.facebook.com/buggingyoufromSJI/. I'm happy to identify and answer questions about insects there.


Bow,
A lot of smart looking cars and SUVs will arrive in 2018 and 2019. Audi is an example of a legacy car manufacturer that will be introducing lots of new and attractive EV vehicles with 500km ranges.

I get entertainment from the whiny liberals who cannot accept they lost. That pretty much sums it up. It is certainly not for the propaganda, fake and biased news. Do you yourself feel they are biased? Do you feel they are fair and honest? Just curious what you thought are?


"exploitation, enslavement, and evitable destruction of the Earth, Abzu, and atmosphere alike"

It's not possible to have an intelligent conversation with someone who's entire thought process is one hyperbole after another.


Nothing like a little quiet and thought to clear our the misinformation that often takes root when one is running among electronic media events.


My guess is that they are being cautious with the detailed investigation information since early release might prejudice jury selection in the civil actions that I believe will follow. Once subpoenaed and becoming part of testimony, the details will become public record.


Do you agree with the President's statement?  A difficult yes or no for you, it appears.


I am an avid iPad user and read eBooks all the time.  But, there are time when I just want to go to the library, just to browse and find books that aren't on the eBook list.  Plus, I love to browse the magazine shelves, look at newspapers, and look at Cd's I can borrow.  Then, there are the children's book my grand-kids love, as well seeing people who don't have access to computers using the ones in the library.  I don't go as often as I used to, but I still treasure our libraries.  And, even in the face of the on-line onslaught, the staff is still super.

Further, I have to disagree with Bernie, 600.  The Abbotsford, BC Library still has study or quiet rooms, and the staff are there to help.  I have gone there to work on university papers when I couldn't focus at home, then had to fight the urge to browse.

Libraries Forever!!


Don't read much is what you are trying to tell us Malcolm?


Excellent article Ms. Page.


Could you imagine if they drained the swap in Ontario, the out cry would be heard all the way the China.


It has EVERYTHING to do with his criticism of this Governor.  Where was Roger on fixing the fiscal issues?  "Trust tax cuts and Exxon..."  This article is a cartel hit piece by a historic industry shill.


I believe the talking point phrase you're looking for is, "You're either with us or against us."
Scandalous when first used to suppress accountability in a democratic country.
And ridiculous now knowing how it was used the first time.
What next, attacks on those who mention root causes for today's events?


It wasn't on purpose and I know by facts not assumptions! There were more than just the two of them in the car that night whose lives hve been changes! As a community we need to help these young men rebuild their lives! Believe me I wish my nephew had the choice of rebuilding his life but I did know my nephew well enough that this young man was his friend and it's not just an excuse that it was an avoidant because it was! Gun violence is ramped in our community and ha changes our family forever all I ask from him is that he do the most to make better choices moving forward and those other young men in the car that night because that night changes the fiber of each one of them! I am just thankful to know the truth about what happened to him and that helps me move forward because many families rarely know the truth! So please as a community let's help the youth and not demonized them when it truest was a horrible mistake that night!


They just want to protest, I have seen them burning tires, that's great for the air! Also, there are 4 different pipelines going under the river already. So they wait till they start putting pipe in the ground to protest?
Poor left doesn't get it's way...so they cry!


Absolutely lost his compass if he ever had one.  Running the war from Washington during the Vietnam campaign (war) didn't work out so well for the US.  Put a microphone in front of McCain and it fire ready aim.  Let Mattis and his staff, generals on the front develop a plan.  What these generals need to know from congress what the overall budget for the military entails.

McCain would do well to focus on the budget- defense budget.  Not sure he has accepted, the American voter had a chance to support him on national and global thought processes, and by my standards the answer was clearly a no.  Give the defense department, strong congressional support, via clean budget and removing sequestration.  If he has any weight to throw around this should be the area he focuses on.


If an airline cancelled a flight, the doctor would (obviously) have no liability to anyone due to that action.  The gate agent had many other options available that would have prevented this debacle.  He or she chose poorly, and that poor choice resulted in an injury and major financial loss to United.  This was not the fault of the doctor.


Interesting column.  Individuals that work at the Anchorage Airport for the State knowingly misrepresented their qualifications and accepted positions when they knew they were not qualified.  This is known by staff at the highest levels in State Government, but nothing has been done to correct the violations of the Merit System.  Other highly qualified individuals also applied for those positions but were denied.  The State is covering this up.  So it appears that (you can lie) to get your job at the airport, and no one will check as long as you are in with airport management.


You know what they say about people that repeat themselves.


@ Jerry D
"RCMP Inspector Donovan Fisher said the nine were released and have applied for refugee protection"
Yes, you're correct...Canada loves illegals.


Yup, if the Millennials ever realize there is life beyond living in a GTA basement then Toronto will become a ghost town.

"..or the lady who handed out a condom while saying no."

Actually, Mulcair understood and therefore did not pursue this.

It was Justin who put the the poor Liberal who was entrapped out of caucus.


Sure, put me on the list for a free house.  Working, saving, living frugally, and paying for things really sucks.  I'd rather spend my money on booze, smokes and VLTs, but hey man, a roof is my human right.


This is the best news I've read in the G&M for at least a decade.
Now we have to start working out what the reparations to the Palestinians should be. I think Rothschild should be able cover all costs quite handsomely. And of course Britain should issue a formal apology and maybe provide the apparatus to dispense the compensation to the Palestinians.
All in all a great Christmas present to the world.
Thank you to the UN Security Counsel
Merry Christmas to all!


"No one answered the jail telephone Saturday."  Huh?!


Your misleading headline should read "Trump team throws up red herring to divert gaze from its treason."


These guidelines are a result of studying evidence based medicine.  How can you disagree with facts?


durrrrrrr


Expensive snake-oil!


My party? I didn't realize that it was the independents that gathered up all those Japanese Americans and put them in internment camps. I thought that was you guys.

You just keep proving my point, at every turn you label those in opposition as evil. Good work supporting the DNC and their march toward oblivion. You can only run on hate for so long. I mean, you guys have done it for a very long time but everything comes to an end.


In part because Oregon voters keep approving unfunded mandates and "kickers,"  S-Corporation tax breaks, etc.  Yes, we have record amounts coming in but are required to give large amounts of it back--a not insignificant portion going to out-of-state corporations.


Pence said this on Wednesday, and IT WAS A LIE:

“Let me be very clear that the President’s decision to accept the recommendation of the deputy attorney general and the attorney general to remove Director Comey as the head of the FBI was based solely and exclusively on his commitment to the best interests of the American people and to ensuring that the FBI has the trust and confidence of the people this nation."

Even Trump, in his ever-evolving explanations, said this was not true.


these "some people" are all over the place...leaving messes everywhere.  it's the norm - not the exception.  you find a homeless camp - you find the same kind of unsanitary cr*p as is in the next homeless camp.


There is a lot of money to be made off of people with disabilities. But it is asking other people to pay for it instead of a family. The Democrats say yes and Republicans say no. At the end of the day, it is all about money. We can keep people artificially alive for a long time. It is notable that most doctors say they don't want to die getting aggressive treatment.


I cannot imagine a worse insult to the citizens of a riding who elected the Mayor- the leader of their community.  A terse dismissal without providing the reasons why.  This is not democracy.  The fix is in. The behaviour of a Party that takes for granted their choice as being the defacto MP awaiting an election process that is nothing more than a ceremonial occasion.  I cannot fathom what the candidates of the opposing Parties must think of being treated like potted plants.  To call the Liberal functionaries arrogant would be complimentary.

I think this is a clumsy attempt to scare off a qualified candidate based on his gender.  Or this is a hint they have something on the Mayor.  Or the innuendo for the local Liberal riding association being spoon fed the need for immediate obedience to this decree.  Come to think of it, this must be Trudeau's interpretation of what he meant by ranked balloting in a taking democracy for granted kind of way.


OK, let's instead pretend that nothing is happening; that there is nothing to worry about, so we keep ignoring all the warning signs. Then, a few years down the road, we realize that we $crewed-up royally but at that point there is no turn around: the damage has become irreversible and everyone will suffer the consequences. Then what?
I guess you've never heard the term "social responsibility", right? Try reading some books about the subject. Or if you are like Trump and don't read any books, then perhaps using something called Google may help you to open your eyes.


Did, 2 years ago.

Nowhere in that film does it say what is, and what is not allowed in Canada.

What is your point?


Ah, I see. I don't follow sports.


It seems that the man asked legitimate questions.  Not sure of personal attacks or small mindedness.


YES!  I wish that people would stop using "what Jesus said" as the reason to behave in a particular way.  As you say, we have oral tradition, transmitted in writing, with all of the errors, embellishments, and changes that this entails and with the results of literary traditions of a given time.


Oh so only Catholics are parents?

You don't understand how "long a problem" this is.

You think we're going to have a solution in 1-4 years.

The world changes not because of some fund someone sets up..or because of protest signs..or because of who is elected...or what some soft bishop says.

It changes because men and women decide to love more and harder, despite their feelings.

and that work is very slow and indirect...one neighbor who goes over to their "generously living" Catholic neighbor and senses a "calm" in that house...it's clean, more order, more cheerful, there are boundaries, there are people who work and can deny their baser inclinations...and so little by little they are "infected" with a Christian spirit.

Read this, and you'll get a sense for how long and slow and quiet and yet good change can happen through a few "mustard seeds".

Why can’t they ever make an announcement in Ottawa? I would love to know what the taxpayer is on the hook for with all these posters and photo ops. Are they afraid to be in Ottawa for question period?


Curious how the  G & M is spending so much time going after Ambrose.   Here's a clue G & M, the bigger fish should be and is the PRIME MINISTER....who is being investigated AGAIN for ethics misconduct, he is the one we tax payers are worried about, he is the one spending our taxes like his Father before him....not Ambrose.


The BC Liberals are Liberals in name only and even less in common with the Liberals in Ottawa.  If the previous election wasn't able to provide any affects with the Liberal Party chanting "anyone but Christie", ( the now LIberal Premier of BC),  its highly unlikely it will cost Liberals any seats.  To enhance the view on this, consider the fact they won a majority after all that went on with CN Rail.
As for costing the Liberals seats in Alberta, I would have to ask ....what seats are you referring to since they have none to lose ?


Wallace revealed the true nature of Republicans-at-heart masquerading as cultural Democrats.

You are welcome.


It really is not that simple, no matter how badly you wish it were.


It would seem that any money the county might save by finding a petition non-compliant would then be spent arguing its merits in Circuit Court.

Sometimes, it actually is best to just sit there and do nothing. I'd say now is one of those times.


Thank you for your leadership!


Hi Lawrence,
Some people need the spotlight.
The need for approval is immense (like Trump also).
Politicians are like artists, they NEED the light (cameras).
So she will not vanish, lets get used to it. Without resistance and
on open mind.


Don't be a sore loser, Billy...


Indeed. The lack of thoughtful foresight is a failure here. The Bloor Viaduct remains a symbol of clear thoughtful planning, while the St. Clair streetcar line had to be retrofitted  just six years after the new raised line was built to accommodate the new cars. It's difficult to hear our Councillors explain such failures away as if this is the very best that could be achieved. And as, the City still allows developers to build to the edge of narrow sidewalks bordering narrow streets.


Actually McCarthy was correct:  there really were people  (spies)  in the army,  government and agencies,  working for the Soviets, sending US nuclear and military secrets to Uncle Joe.    So too there really are rapists , but they get lost in the  mob hysteria. of trying to entrap  innocent men,


I hope they do feel like dogs!

Jail in Canada is like a vacation!

Three meals a day, tv, exercise time, access to education, healthcare when requested.

When I was studying in university there were times when I didn't know where my next meal would come from, when I couldn't afford a gym membership, and when I couldn't afford to pay up front for dental or other services. I lost my family doctor and basically didn't have access to health care unless it was an emergency. Even then it takes 8 hours of waiting to get through! I was working two jobs and cutting grass using my landlords lawnmower! Hopefully he didn't see this!

My point is yes they deserve all the necessities of life including food, healthcare. But tv and evercise space? Give me a break! Do push ups or body weight squats in your cell! You want more than that? Get out of jail, get a job, get a membership to fit for less for $5 a month.

Start contributing to society!


the most insane thing is that now because of the settlement, the state is going to be sued and the tax payers will pay


Do you read your own comments on this site?  You might quickly come to that conclusion!


Manuel is overseas! .... Why hasn't the Symington Affair been sorted.... as you say, sitting on, or under poodle Shaun's desk, if not shredded!
Oh, and not a wholly male poodle as he was castrated!


CONTINUED from ABOVE:

I refer of course to the American Eugenics Movement, which inspired Hitler and which argued that certain "lineages" should be forcibly sterilized or otherwise eliminated, to "improve" humans by culling "inferiors".  Who decides what's inferior?  That has literally proved to be a life or death question.

Regarding your last question as to my "deciding" to be heterosexual, that isn't the RIGHT question if you would understand the logical fallacy of claiming certain behaviors "inborn" without evidence.  It is as inaccurate a comparison as trying to equate "gay" and "interracial" marriages in this context.

I'll use myself as an example why the comparison can't be used to claim choice-of-mate is "inborn", i.e. controlled by genetics.  I'm mixed European and Arab.  I've had three wives.  Two are black.  One is half-Thai and half Texan.  So am I "genetically wired" to marry black women?  Or Thai women?  Or (God forbid) Texas women?  What's your answer?  I'll wait.


I notice The Post has been pushing its anti-gun agenda very heavily lately.


The investment industry likes to combine financial planning, investment advice and investment management. It locks clients in with high costs and hidden trailer fees. It also means the advisers have a huge conflict of interest and pressure to sell products that may not be the best choice for the investor, but make money for the adviser and financial institution. Fee-only planning goes a long way to ensure that investors get unbiased conflict-free financial advice. It is surprising that this planner did not analyze the decision of when to take CPP without being asked.

The other issue that was not addressed in the article is how to get effective, low-cost balanced investments. If the subjects are using mutual funds that have typical 2.5% MER they are losing potentially 1/4 to 1/3 of their returns with very little added value. The next step is to learn how to invest and use products like ETFs, eSeries funds or a robo-adviser to get the best possible returns within their risk tolerance.


If hubby is is worried maybe he should have worked another five years or at least until he  is 60. the same age he expects her to work to. That way they can enjoy their time together earlier.


Very low - to zero - to negative interest rates have successfully CRUSHED pension funds, the insurance industry and savers.

We have substituted "credit" for "productivity" for decades, and this process is STILL accelerating.

But we won't stop this madness until we finally - totally - crater our economy.

 And at that point, we'll just be Venezuela, with snow...


so why is twitter stock stuck in  a rut?


What's so wrong with our senator supporting production in Alaska. I say kudos to any politician  supporting Alaska jobs versus the out of state shippers, out of state growers, the out of USA growers in Mexico, ect. The overall plan with this program is to make Alaska less reliant on other states and countries for its produce. It's to develop better growing techniques. If successful on these smaller scale operations, it could be used in larger operations, creating jobs for Alaskans, deversifying our economy, not to mention fresher food. Have you compared the tomatoes from Mexico to the Alaska grown tomatoes in these high tunnels? You may not realize it, but our food is subsidized by the federal government, otherwise we would be paying 8$ for a gallon of milk in Anchorage and 18 $ a gallon in the remote communities. This is an economical benefit to Alaska, without question.


Canadian immigration policy is being swamped by illegal refuges flooding across the border and we spend tens of millions of dollars annual to support this nonsense.  Walk in and receive a minimum 18 months of welfare from Canadian taxpayers.


You are in my prayers and I suggest you see a therapist.


Agreed.   I don' see why having an EV should allow you free parking and premium parking with free recharging at malls, which all other patrons end up paying for.


This review describes the show well.


Obama made lying look good, but that does not make it right.


They weren't sent to "colleagues" within the FBI.   They were given to "a friend" from Columbia University who leaked to the press which prompted a Special Counsel headed by Mueller  to investigate the Flynn incident.   You nicely left out the "leaker friend" part.
COMEY: Yes, I — yes. I think nearly all of my written recordings of my conversations — had a chance to review them before filing my statement.
LANKFORD: Do you have a copy of any those notes, personally?
COMEY: I don’t. I turned them over to Bob Mueller’s investigators.
LANKFORD: The individual that you told about your memos, that then sent on to the New York Times — do they have a copy of those memos, or were they told orally of those memos?
COMEY: Had a copy — had a copy at the time.
LANKFORD: Do they — do they still have a copy of those memos?
COMEY: That’s a good question.

STOP SPREADING FAKE NEWS!


It boils down to one very simple fact. We are subsidizing the oil industry , and paying that subsidy with the PFD. Government can, and should function without a " Permanent Fund ". The Fund belongs to the people (Residents) of Alaska, and NOT the Alaska State Government that is trying to make laws, rules, and regulations that would allow them access to a very large amount of money. The strategy was , and is, to squander what we have and then go after the PFD. Much like the tax cut for the wealthy, and the benefits cuts in Social Security which also belongs to the Citizens. There is a pattern , and it is to bleed the General public for as much as possible, and then find ways to steal it.


Are you joking, dude? There are three. They are not from or to Hillary and they are not from her server.


Have you also seen the other posts from people that are supposed to have Indian blood in them?


Pull back your nonsense. His sons are still under Chines control so what purpose for that?
Chinese haven't want Korea for 2000 years why want it now? Korea was abandoned by Chinese 2000 years ago because it is too poor the land is.
Anything changes since then?


This is one of Shapiro's most ignorant columns.  He is losing it.


Concerning the idiotic claim that the PFD "draws people to Alaska", it would take a DECADE of PFD's to pay the costs of moving to Alaska from elsewhere.  I came here because my job transferred me here.

As for the "wrong kind of people", two points.

(1) In the context of this discussion I understand you're referring to Samoans.  All the Samoans I know work on fishing and fish processing vessels.  They came here for fisheries employment--there are seven major Samoan families who've been fishermen ten times longer than the US has existed.  They go where the fish are.

(2) The "wrong kind of people" started coming to Alaska long before there was a PFD--first from Russia, then from Anglo-Amerikkka.


Evolution in action. If these folks are that dumb, tough luck. And, anyone that is rescued - dead or alive - should pay for it even if it comes form their estate or their family’s pocket.

I was out n Moab this summer where there are always deaths at Arches National Park because ignoramuses ignore sing after sign warning after warning, not to hike - even a short distance without a hat, sunscreen and water.  Yet I saw tons  of people in flip flops without water hiking in the desert. Th worst offenders with their little kids.

You Can’t fix stupid.


Benjamin Disraeli British Prime Minister in the 19th century:
"There are lies, damnable lies and, statistics"


As a newly appointed member of the fishery council, I'm setting the record straight. All of this has been published long ago. A lot has been done to protect that area and to ensure that fishing can continue indefinitely.

And it's not WesPac that's claiming conservation success. It's the United Nations which carries considerable credibility.

As for AP's story about the problems with the longline fleet, it's a terrible tragedy if people are being abused. Any mistreatment is unacceptable and should be stopped. It should also be noted that the article said some crewmen sign up again and again, for more than a decade. Which means that not all skippers or boat owners are treating people poorly.

You make this sound like a game, Bryant. It's not.

Fish has always been an important food source for the people who live on these islands. Longline fishermen provide up to 50 sustainable tons a day, and that contributes a great deal to Hawaii's ability to be more self-sufficient.


If anyone does not believe that ownership of Assault Rifles and high capacity ammo magazines both need to be banned, this incident should convince them of that necessity.

The National Rifle Association needs to take full blame for the shooting of this deputy, just like they are to blame for the recent deaths of police officers in Dallas and Baton Rouge.


Restaurants make small fortunes running patios on public land for very little money. It's time the public receive its fair share.


Peak use price in France is around $0.15/hwh. And they don't have the delivery charges and debt retirement BS on the bill. In fact an average hydro bill (all in) in France is a bit more than half of the Ontario average bill.

Prices in Germany are even lower (less than $0.10/kwh including some ecological tax).

In a QC Hydro chart only three major American cities have rates higher than Toronto.


Not apples and oranges at all.  Regular programming on pay TV, even broadcast IS falling as my link shows.

I've already explained this to you before but I'll do it again.  Right off the bat you're admitting that up to 13% of NFL games can't be watched by cord cutters.  We also need to take into account that Thursday games are atrocious in general, hurting ratings.  Assuming all cord cutters have a good enough antenna to get games, that limits their options to at most two games for the morning and afternoon games but usually you only get one game when the local team game is on.  So now we're down to at most a cord cutter can watch five of 16 games or 31% of games.

"The...platform competition just doesn't exist for NFL" I think you're wrong there too.  People have been showing for years that they don't want to sit through three plus hour games in general and now there are multiple places you can go to get highlights.

Nope, that doesn't explain any rating hits at all./s


The bed tax directly funds the efforts of the visitor industry to bring more visitors to Alaska. By not paying the same tax as B&B's pay, you're essentially reaping the rewards paid for by everyone else. If you own a vacation rental here or more than one, consider becoming a member of Visit Anchorage and taking advantage of all the programs you can use to grow your business.


Do you still have the mullet?  Do you not realize how unattractive those are?


True, except we aren't talking about unwanted facial hair, warts or cysts. Or even your kidney for that matter. This is another human life. Not yours.

OK. I responded to your previous post with what I consider kind suggestions. Now I honestly think you are losing touch with the issue at hand. Did you really just ramble on about rose-ringed parakeets being 566 times smaller than humans and somehow try to relate that to RUP's? You need to stay focused; be clear and concise about the point you are trying to make; and back that up with some sort of fact based analysis. You are losing credibility with every word you type. Come on Joni! You CAN do better. Please stop embarrassing yourself. You are one of the few people that have any connection to the local farming community here that comments, and we need your help, not just ramblings. Please get it together.


It makes sense. I'm saying that people should not be trying to blame the DoJ or APD for actions and consequences of these individuals.  They are adults and need to held responsible as such.


I still have not read the lesson u provided me but i fully intend to do so  soon. i have  sent u a couple of msgs. Im not sure if u got them. Im not sure its appropriate that u respond anyway.


That comes just after checking local records.  Then you move on to the tertiary level by vetting the references' references.  I used to do the checks.  It was just paperwork shuffle; I didn't get to provide opinion unless derogatory or unverifiable info was discovered.  Usually, when an applicant was asked to provide further data, and/or to explain discrepancies, that was left to other background investigators.  To ensure fresh eyes on any particular applicant.  If it got to that point, however, due to the added depth of checks, more scrutiny was given to any one applicant and the vetting data they provided.  The last step would be for DOJ rep to make the final call.  This process has basically not changed over the last 20 yrs or so.  Part of the EO is to vet the system and if found to be under the thresholds' increased scrutiny processing, then recommendations would definitely be made to enhance the vetting process than what is already being done.  Can't get there until we get there.


The budget was in crisis years ago with no plan to reverse course. It will take a lot longer than one legislative session to get on a responsible track. The problems are systemic. Why? Because the current legislative majority won't fix the budget problems and continue to molly coddle the oil and gas industry. Until that changes, any real effort to balancing the budget will fail.


I was replying to Alesia's comment that was in response to my earlier comment, not that of Rick's.


Yes but it is soothing, like Hamlet without  bloodshed; cleaned up and nice so as to not offend the  Danes ( you know how sensitive they are about what the English say about them.).


The "pie" isn't fixed in its size.  The example of not cutting spending is what the Ds did to Reagan in the 80s.  Both of the major parties stink. I can tolerate the Freedom Caucus (Rs) and that's about it.


Look at the average age of these snowflakes.  If any of these snowflakes are here on a student or work Visa, let's round them up and send them home on a cargo plane.   I'm so sick of these entitlement, feel good, time out kids.  A waste of oxygen.


Like the IMMIW, what's to investigate?  They want to investigate the obvious.


Brent Crude is currently at $46.17 a barrel.


Many of us including the administration to the legislature have fallen into the Reaganomics trap of less taxes and smaller government. Closer scrutiny shows Reaganomics hurts the poor, working and middle class while benefiting the wealthy. We have lived this lie for so long the idea of raising taxes and pouring money into public infrastructure like public schools,public  transportation, public safety and the like is seen as an infectious disease.


We did not have this so-called homeless situation when we had vagrancy laws that were enforced. Enter the ACLU, homeless advocates and liberal judges who declared the laws unconstitutional and wallah!  We have a major problem.  Vagrants can sleep on sidewalks, in public parks, on beaches, under freeways and wherever they want on public property, defecate anywhere, leave their trash everywhere, and there is little we can do about it.  We still may have vagrants if the old laws could be enforced, but it would not be the monumental problem that it now is.


Vandalism and destruction isn't such a big deal when it's your own comrades doing it, is it.  But I would imagine you'd be howling in outrage if right-wingers engaged in similar behavior.


Russia will go broke in a few years


complaints are made to City and HPD, including 911.  common response is that the law does not allow them to take action.   hallelujah!!


Sears has good sales on clothing!


Wombat, despite my strong opposition to transgendered people serving in the military, I have to agree with you on every single point mentioned here.  Although I agree with Trump on many points, he himself is an idiot.


My suggestion is you should not read them if you are offended. This is a free society.


Spoken exactly like someone in an ivory tower, or perhaps an 'elite'.


Ahhh the racist thing. Of course


Not talking about criminal liability. I am talking about women making serious allegations of sexual misconduct- none of which is likely to ever wind up in a courtroom but may well influence peoples vote. Like I said- some folks choose to believe the Women accusing Trump- some choose not to believe them- much as was true with Clinton in the 90's. My point is that it seems the politics of it are more important to people than the alleged bad acts.


Good for him but do we have to keep looking at these "victorious male ape" visuals to convince us he's victorious?


Oh wow, your senseless wave of words really serves as a strong economic argument against my comment.


A man who believes that he has the power to change the laws of arithmetic is too arrogant to be taken seriously.  Quoting a dead Russian is insufficient for overruling reality, even for a Jesuit.


Being a "professional" is an attitude.

It basically requires that you will follow the law even if it is inconvenient, even if all your friends are doing it, and even when there is almost no chance of anyone ever catching you at it.

I had to do it in virtually every 'job' I had for my entire life.

If you can't do that you aren't really a "professional".

And when you violate those standards, you are and should be held more accountable and receive greater punishment than a non-professional.

It is part of your personal ethical standards.


To find, in Fr. Rothers beatification, cause to wonder whether there's sexism behind it is to be obsessed with sexism.  That kind of obsession is self-oppressive.  Be free.  Save your feminism for real concerns, such as provable discriminatory hiring or provable pay disparities, and the like.

No, I don;t know why it's taken so long for the nuns to be beatified.  Nor do I know why it's taken other male martyrs so long.  You haven't a scintilla of evidence that it's sexist, yet you raise the issue here in a wonderful article about Fr. Rother.  Question your own maturity first.


The main reason is that for felony cases, the probation office has to prepare a "pre-sentence report" that analyzes the case and the defendant's criminal history and makes a sentencing recommendation. That's a pretty common sort of thing across he country.


A BLATANT STUPID MOVE to BUY VOTES...

IT is time to GET RID OF CHRISTY CLARK and her BC LIEberals


trump's ongoing war on women.


I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for these popes to do ANYTHING but maintain the ongoing status quo...who expects the fox to heal the wounded chicks? Please...😂


Right ON, Elise! It is astounding how many men think this still today! In the 21st Century! It's both appalling and amusing, if it wasn't so pathetic.


Once again, immigration is a civil, not criminal offense. Odd how the "law abidin'" people don't seem to know much about the law. Colorado is a haven for criminals, too. *puff* *puff* You'd better leave the state.


Waiting to see what happens to those involved in the misdeeds mentioned by Santiago. There's a new Chief in town so time will tell.


Any politician who casts a vote simply to save his or her political hide is despicable.  Sadly too many are like that.  Totally unprincipled. They will throw the Dreamers out just to keep their job.


A decade ago, the Whiteaker tried to make the quiet zone happen. The city literally laughed them out of the room. Then the Obies (and other developers) found that it would help their bottom line to get a quiet zone and this thing was brought back to life. In the meantime, the people of the Whiteaker have moved on and no longer want it for a variety of reasons. (One of which is the fact that 82% of Whiteaker residents are renters and do not want any additional rent increases.)

If we are to have a QZ, it should be the east end only and it should be paid for by a combination of the developers and the riverfront (slush fund) urban renewal district. Very few people west of the station want anything to do with this, especially those of us who live near the tracks. While they're at it, they can close the Pearl crossing instead of closing one that is used by pedestrians and cyclists for their new crossing into the EWEB property.

...define 'too much'


Youre absoltely right, his lack of attendance will make no difference whatsoever - to you - you can bet it does to trump, hence his angry response.

BTW, Mr. Lewis can bask in the glory of being a civil rights icon for as long as he wants- the people for whom he fought and their descendants have no problems with that because they understand/know what its like to live under slavery, jim crow, and its current iterations.  The achievements of civil/equal rights are the foundation of modern day rights for LGTBTQ people, etc.  I would assume these groups know and appreciate how they now benefit from the bravery and sacrifice of JL and many others like him.  Anyone wishing to denigrate people like JL might want to visit the new National Museum of African American History and Culture for a little reminder...or start by reading Michelle Alexander's the new jim crow.  We're not as evolved as we'd like to think.


Atlantic salmon don't breed in our waters & don't breed with our native species. Suggesting as some have that they are invasive is hyperbole.

The earliest attempts to introduce atlantic salmon as a wild-foraging species date to 1874 in California, then 1904 in Washington State and 1905 in BC when 90,000 fry were released into the Coquitlam River, Lillooet River, and Harrison Lake on the mainland and into Campbell River, Comox Lake, Horne Lake, Nanaimo Lake, Cowichan Lake and Koksilah River on Vancouver Island. In total 200,000 Atlantic salmon eyed-eggs, fry, fingerlings and smolts were introduced into B.C. waters that year.  The bulk of releases were into the Cowichan River system.

There have been almost continuous attempts to establish Atlantic salmon in the Pacific right up to the 1980s.  Every attempt to introduce Atlantic salmon as wild foraging and self-sustaining have failed for almost 150 years.


👍 nice story & pics


All Airbnb has to do is post notification on their website that many cities now require permitting for short term rentals. As I use the service when I travel, I've noticed a photo of the permit included with some of the rentals. It implies, if you rent a unit that doesn't include the permit, there is a possibility the rental could be shut down before you arrive. Put the onus on the buyer.

On another note, after some experience with Airbnb in our strata, we created a bylaw to deal with it and they were shut down. The most recent was actually a renter who was subletting to vacationers via Airbnb, while she stayed with her boyfriend.


Thanks for the insight!


I am more optimistic than you en.  I think Trump will seriously consider single payer because he is a businessman and understands a bit about how things work.  I cannot see any other solution to the long term health care requirement except single payer with mandate to control costs.  Throw in incentives to increase production of medical personnel and we could do well.  It makes sense and I trust that Trump, not being bought and sold by the rich, can seriously look at realistic solutions even though they are opposed by special interests.


Actually in BC the municipal tax system works exactly as you propose. Mill rates are adjusted each year to compensate for the increase in property values. All things being equal your taxes only go up if your property increase more than the average. If your property doesn't increase as much as the average your taxes go down.


Hopefully our society pulls itself out of these sewers soon.  Trump got himself into this mess, so there is not much sense in defending him.  However like it or not, the "Donald" was elected and now deserves a chance to introduce policies. Hollywood is certainly comprised of many, many elites and it seems as if working class America is getting tired of being preached to by the hypocritical rich, such as Leonardo from his yacht, such as Bill Clinton, such as Al Gore etc.  While most of us worry about jobs and raising our families, the elites wallow in luxury, continually preach one thing and practice the opposite and are totally detached from the realities of meaningful.work and the realities of life.  Sorry Meryl - your rant fell on deaf ears.


Discussing/comparing these two entities is not possible.
Going back to1987 and  "YOC" etc is also meaningless regarding all equities.
NUGT is not a buy and hold ETF....look at a 5 year chart !!


Sounds like they were burning Pot waste, I had a neighbor doing that once and threatened to call the cops on him.


The point is that he knew about it much earlier in the year and didn't do anything until AFTER Hillarity lost...when it became a weapon rather than a "problem". THEN he acted.


I've never said that an audit wouldn't be beneficial. The finances of the school system are not controlled by the teachers, and in all honesty I don't think you will find the wide spread waste everyone thinks there is. A few questions that should be asked, how much is the standardized testings costing us? Pearson the same company that creates many of the standardized tests in this country, also market the computer based "solutions" to fix the problem, except it doesn't work. How much is spent on athletics, extra curricular activities and what is the cost benefit of them? As for the health-care costs, I don't know how providing a good health care plan for employees is a waste. I guess when the current thought is health care is too expensive so we shouldn't provide it for public employees? If you want to really look at some of the issues with education speak with classroom teachers who have done it for years, like it or not the NEA is often that voice in the public arena


Where does it state that this tax will fund schools?


Unbelievable. Alienating a strong ally in his first phone call. What chapter is this in the Art of the Deal?


Step Four: relocate manufacturing jobs from Mexico and China back to Europe and North America creating jobs, incomes, demand, prosperity and security.

Not saying I agree with Trump. Just questioning the assumption that globalization is the only, or the best, way to go.


On the contrary, carey9.  tRump's lost it and so has his supporters.


Now back to Trudeau's use of taxpayer-owned aircraft for him and his entourage to go on  vacation..........


Click farm poster.


She has learned that almost every time she opens her mouth she makes things worse or creates another scandal.


Trump and the Republicans will repeal the ACA when they figure out they can rename it and make a few changes and get something as good or better than the ACA-- they almost did that except for wanting to give the rich a deficit-increasing tax cut of $187,000 average annually per person. We want to keep the Hawaii program that has businesses get a tax credit in exchange for providing insurance at a group discount to their employees and officers that keeps our premiums well below national average. Trying to abolish employer provided plans and take away the tax credit is anothert thing that caused small businesses to object to the Republican plan.


To use the word "terrorism" in the way you just did is as excessive and false as the word "racism" as it is most often used by the left.  It should not be difficult to understand that we have immigration laws.  You call it terrorism to enforce those laws.  Need I say more?


Leaving the discretion to the officer is good. But opening the general public to such a broad definition has a long history of abuse. As they say... "Power corrupts" and it is not a statement about the individual but rather all humanity and our collective struggle regardless of our individual moral ideal.


Most of North Vans gas stations are owned by Iranians........so there you go Pete you can add them to the mix


Lacking courage you say? Would you compare this to how it lacks courage to attack a single delegate acting out of rage versus attacking an entire political party underming democracy with zero accountability? It seems like it would take more courage to callout the systematic problems in this country rather to attack an individual. But then again most "journalists" are complete hacks these days, so I guess it's par for the course, right? Funny how you sit here and talk shit, Denby, when Chelsea's finger got more attention than all of your articles this year combined. Just keep hating. We'll change the world without your old ass.


OK donald, I'll play...
Let's assume for the moment that the FBI DID pay for the dossier.
So what?


I don't speak for NCR, but as an academic theologian, I do oppose the university's decision to fire Dr. Seifert. Although I strongly disagree with his opinions about Pope Francis, I believe academic freedom should protect him. However, I understand that he works for a diocesan institution, which means that his position is under the control of the local bishop. That is not the case with the vast majority of Catholic colleges and universities.


Nomorobo is NOT available on landlines. It works on VOIP phones.


The law already exists!  You have selective hearing or a low attention span!


Man o man, what has our media become, and who hires these writers, for lack of a better word.

Starting an article with stating such an alarming problem, without any proof or context, just IT IS believe me...and then going on to lecture what should be done...

What happen to just reporting the ACTUALLY, FACTUAL news as it was happening in reality...

Why Hype and make everything so Alarming..?

Can not wait for media to regain a level of professionalism again...

Hire some writers with integrity instead of many fancy degrees from gender studies classes...


That; however, is similar to feeling sorry for say... Satan.


Let's send a much large force with planes, ships, etc.
