Well, the first thing they did was to consult the provinces, which had not been done in 9 years. Then told Alberta that is was a carbon plan before pipelines, or nothing, and so Alberta, or rather Notley agreed. BC is happy. Alberta is happy. Ontario is happy. The Chinese are happy, Donald Trump is happy.

Everybody, apparently, except you.


One more hate spewer who has no understanding of the issue whatsoever.


It must have been a good comment to be taken down


I choose not to further engage with someone who cannot treat me with dignity and respect.  Goodbye.


Let's face REALITY and prepare for GET for life...


Why does the far right wing want to stop an investigation into treason? Ppl like you went after Hillary and Obama for no reason and now,we have an admin that is loaded with traitors. As it is, the Logan act is about to be invoked on trump, pence, Trump's SiL, etc.


Nanakanda What is this rant about? Did you read the article or is this something you always wanted to say?


"Such an impression"??  We are nothing to tRump but an element of his next business deal ...
Not the impression I was looking for in my NEXT president, sorry.


If the Elliott would have been managed properly, according to its unique mission statement... to maximize funding to K12... not to provide timber to local mills, we might not be at this juncture point in its fate.

The state could have cut a third of the timber for three times the dollar return had they taken advantage of the export value of the older timber. This would have maximized both dollars and habitat.
I say this as an ex timber cruiser who has marketed export timber for private coastal forest owners.

Of course, they'd still have some greedy enviro attorneys to pay off.

As are you, I'm against any and all privatization of public lands. I'm also against subsidizing private industry with public timber.

Had the private industry lands in the coast ranges been managed truly sustainably, the Elliott would not be the sole surviving habitat for endangered species. And there would still be mature timber for local saw mills.


So, there is a moral equivalency between the Taliban and Christian Evangelicals?  WOW, there's the problem with the sanctimonious LEFT right there in one neat little package.


Pocho do you have a reading comprehension problem? Where did I say that there was any terror committed by the KKK? I said that the vast MAJORITY of terrorist shootings/bombings etc... in this country since 9/11 were perpetrated by RIGHT WING "Christian" extremists. Since 9/11 there were 21 instances of right-wing, white extremist, "Christian" terrorist attacks in the U.S. that caused 53 fatalities....


Technically, three presidents have been impeached ("impeached" basically means "charged", the function of the House of Representatives). Of those three presidents, two were put on trial in the Senate and acquitted and one, Nixon, resigned before the process could be completed. It is generally agreed that Nixon was at most days from being formally ousted when he resigned.


When they and other local stores stop charging for bags I will consider giving them my business again.


Verdell is going to surprise a lot of people when he gets here...I think he makes the rotation.


Nope, if he wants to do drugs, I don't really care, but hypocrisy annoys me.


80% devoted to natives?  I don't think so.  Not on my last visit.


Too bad the Liberals and the NDP didn't give Mr. Harper the kind of support the Conservatives are offering Trudeau!


Agree.  These economists never look around as they drive to work.  They just look at old data, this data is from June.  All economists that work for the state should be cut to save money.  There is no point in paying people to tell you the obvious facts that you easily figured out on your own 1 to 2 years ago.


If you mean that Donald Trump is doing his best to turn the United States into a tin-pot phony democracy, I have no argument with you. However, the DJT "Great America," if  (Heaven Forbid) he succeeds, will look a lot more like Mussolini's Italy than it will Zimbabwe or Paraguay.


It is time to lay down pipe and to tear up the trails.


One.  It's all I need.


"the hoax that is man-made global warming"

Sweeney vs. the world's climate scientists? That should be a one-sided match, assuming any even notice him.


BRO there's no mention of the amount of money these guys will be allocating to abuse victims....in the Fox News article cited below....there is apparently a time limit....and this is a CNS story Catholic News Service...the bishops news agency....


You're the ignorant one if you don't think Hillary would've continued her lies and deception after taking office. We'll never know whether or not her level of "badness" would have been less or more than Trump's. It was a lose/lose situation.


Close the pool or make it self-supporting.


Quite so. The Zoroastrian fires burn in the hills of Persia annually to this day. But for the Battle of Nahavand and the fall of Ctesiphon, Iran today might well be a Zoroastrian-secular democracy, rather than the despotic theocracy brutally maintained by the IRG/basiji mafia.


I think it's possible, being he said there was a connection to wikileaks, that he now does not want to end up, as those associated with the Clinton's  in the past, ie. in the morgue. He is desperate although there is proof he said what he now denies. Give the guy a break, as he is trying to save his life.


You must be really getting frustrated boyo all your stuff is < this comment did not meet civility standards >.  Then all you have to say is the same canned comments you use when you run out of gas on a thread.  SAD


You got a point there. Send out a few packages of Hawaiian organic raw escargot. A very fine French & Portuguese delicacy I'm sure he'd enjoy. Let the rat-lungworms eat his brain away! LOL


...congress cleaned house at FEMA

The Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act was passed (bi-partisan) The act also increases funding for Urban Search and Rescue teams and requires the establishment of a family registry within six months after a storm.

the Army corps of engineers rebuilt the levee system.

the city of N.O. overhauled their inadequate emergency  alert and evacuation system.

yes, Travis, your comment is a logical fallacy and frankly only serves to prove YOUR willingness to politicize Katrina, its loath worthy.

your comment is a perfect example of false equivalence.


You shouldn't be letting your kids decide what cereal they get to eat.


This cant be real, can it? You think you have heard and seen it all but then all of a sudden this, just sick peope we have in this country!


Think about this:  USDept of Education has a SWAT team.  Its Inspector General formed a fully armed and armored defense team for Dept of Education.  So far,  they have only shot one person in the early morning hours beating down a door to serve a warrant for loan fraud on a college loan collection effort.  That was under Obama.  If you are not now thoroughly paranoid,  just hope Gov. Killer Kate Brown doesn't send OSP officers with them to make the kill shots when you reach for you cell phone or a pen.  (To be fair,  over 70 Inspectors General in the Federal Government have formed and armed their version of Seal Team Six for their agencies.)  The  USFS IG bought 36 fully automatic assault rifles for his troops last fiscal year.  Gotta be prepared for a battle with the Southeast Asian mushroom pirates.  Or the Cartel weed growers.  Only they are always served by the local county sheriff out of private assets tax money.  You don't think the USFS would pay for law enforcement,  would you?


"""""""""""""Say something nice PCan""""""""""""  something nice.

1. Caldwell, Honolulu's "Pharma Bro" equivalent known as "Choo-Choo Bro"?

Sorry for the delay Frank
Non consumptive users have no rights to an opportunity to purchase an introductory Alaska license that represents their constituency.
They have no rights in the Board of Game arena
They have no rights to viewing areas save for two or three in the entire state.
Nonconsumptive users are generally bullied even though they bring double the amount of money into our state in expenditures, wages, jobs, state, borough and city taxes.
We all "own" wildlife as per the constitution yet the rights of the majority wildlife enthusiasts take the back of the bus...due to political bully tyrants.
Listen in at the legislature or the BOG and this is evident.


Well, they stole something. Where they the real plans or just a set of made up fakes?


Poor guy walked right into a bad situation with a woman he wanted to spend time with! People are crazy!

Walker has to surround himself with boot licking yes men.  It's classic Walker to keep Whitaker and grow government.  Two more years of Walker ... it hurts just thinking about that.


Your reply makes no sense. There is only 1 national debt, it isn't divided into "areas". Trump's "plan" will add at least $5 trillion.

http://www.crfb.org/papers/promises-and-price-tags-preliminary-update

"What has gone on for several decades cannot be undone in months", were you singing the same tune for Obama when he inherited a $1.3 trillion deficit because of Republican borrow & spend policies, and then oversaw the largest deficit reduction in history during his administration?


"in 40 per cent of cases there was no clear ideological motivation"
That totally strains the credibility of your "recent academic research"!

I hope we can agree on the following:
Right-wing terror exists.
Left-wing terror exists.
Islamic terror exists.
Organised groups carry out attacks with logistical support and widespread applause.
Loners carry out attacks with no support and no applause and no allies.
Mentally ill people carry out attacks that look like terror.

And I hope we can agree:
It is wrong to blame right-wing peaceful democrats for right-wing terror.
It is wrong to blame left-wing peaceful democrats for left-wing terror.
It is wrong to blame peaceful anti-extremist Muslims for Islamic terror.

Clueless


Trump and Co are greedy morons. The time will come when they will profoundly regret their greed. Their stupidity on the other hand is something they will regret but can never remedy. That's just how they are: as intelligent as fence-posts. They are as dense about their economy as they are about the health and well-being of their citizens. If they pass this stuff into law, they are toast.


A vicious - but profitable - cycle. The beverage industry makes money selling soda, the pharmaceutical industry makes money selling diabetes drugs & ultimately the medical industry profits when the disease progresses enough for frequent doctor's visits & ultimately hospitalization, As usual the American taxpayer loses.


Its time they all stay home, in their pajama's and get paid $10.00 for every bill they can click "yes or no" to online. No more airfares, hotel bills, perdiems, suit and ties.


Good point but people have been stealing for alcohol for years. Yes more drug addicts steal but stealing is done even by non drug addicts.


Again, the United States is not a theocracy. Its governing framework is the Constitution, not the catechism.

Legally, "stealing divine laws" is a meaningless concept. The establishment clause concerns the government establishing a state religion. Your right to practice your religion is not "injured" by the recognition of the civil rights of same-sex couples under the law. This is basic civics.


So do airports.  But they and the Vatican both own the areas they are monitoring.
The mosque is not Israeli land.  Yet.


The only thing scarier than what Trump is doing is what Hillary might be doing.


Again, have you ever played "the telephone game?"  Who knows at this early stage what she said to the lieutenant and what was understood, let alone what was conveyed further down the line?  My underlying point is that at the very least, she put her husband "above the radar" as far as the police were concerned and was not in an easy position to ensure that everything intended was relayed to any officers who paid him a visit.  She just wasn't there and on the spot - yet she alerted law enforcement nevertheless.


That wasn't his post: he knows he and anyone can "look it up."  He wanted a synopsis of some kind- the kind you can bet we'll get when Trump is about to leave office- on the list of criminals pardoned and given reduced sentencing, in order to assess whether that was a prudent decision or not.  Stop playing oblivious: you're smarter than that.


I agree. Gregor's strategy to fight for 'affordable housing' is to declare war on homeowners in  single-family neighbourhoods . Just how they are responsible for the inflation of home prices is not explained but for some reason they are the new enemy and the object of Robertson's latest crusade to placate those who have been displaced from the market by their inability to compete with the deluge of immigrants who have more financial horsepower. Throwing single-family neighbourhoods under the bus for a crisis created by Ottawa's immigration policies is a desperate and pathetic attempt to retain political power in the upcoming civic election by the Mayor and his Vision council members. Given the litany of failure and mismanagement on their watch, it is unlikely this cynical ploy will save them.


James, you are controlled by government media. I said big government, not just Wall Street. This includes Big Pharma, the legal drug dealers that are responsible for overprescribing OxyContin, resulting in the heroin epidemic when oxy's became too expensive and demand was too high.. oh, and they spend millions of money to make sure that marijuana stays illegal..

Cut to commercial. Are you depressed? Take this pill. Do you feel like you're not quite a man? Grab a Budweiser! "Trump hates Mexicans and doesn't respect our vets."- paid for by Hillary Clinton.

Hey, where is the fact check for when Sen. Kasich said that Trump and Pence said that Mexicans were bad peoples? cause neither one of them said that.

Now watch as they quote something out of context while simultaneously saying that conservatives have taken Hillarys quotes out of context.

This message is brought to you by Snickers. Hungry? Why wait?


His office has already issued an apology.  Innocent people don't apologize.


1st they said the would hit the PFE so they wouldn't have to tax us, know they take the PFD and want to tax us. Total BS, just like the past election when they said they were retiring bonds so the new ones wouldn't cost us anything. And the dumb a$$ voters fell for it. Is our property taxes staying the same? NO they are going UP. Why not propose a sales tax instead of an income tax? That way everyone pays the same percentage on what they buy. Not just the working people. Alaska was gotten so f'd up over the past 10 years I cannot get out fast enough. The low life welfare, live in the middle of nowhere to get subsidized, live on the backs of the working people have ruined a wonderful place. It is simply just a sh-t hole, welfare, snowflake state.


So explain this to me.  Everyone thinks there is a mania.  But nobody wants to sell their house.

Ultimately that is what solves all these artificial demand/supply imbalances - owners stop hording and all head for the exits at the same time.

Question is when.  I still own my house.  But the kids are all grown up and I do wonder sometimes.  But gotta live somewhere and moving is a pain in the a$$ and then there are all those costs - transfer taxes, real estate agent fees, new furniture, curtains, carpets, moving.  Is it worth it?  So far, no.


Without question this is nothing more than a grab at free publicity, now that we know that Spacey's show was cancelled a few months ago. Two  actors, in careers in need of a boost, have figured out a PR stunt which hurts neither of them, but seizes the hysteria of the moment about alleged sexual assaults. BTW, what was a 14 year old doing unchaperoned at a party of otherwise adults? Don't eat this story Elmer, snowballs are white!


Waddles The Clown just can't let it go like a real man, instead preferring to blubber, simper and whine behind his stupid tweets like the bloated orange coward he is. The freak has all the dignity of a dirty-faced toddler with a fully-loaded diaper.


Probably about how the "marketplace" encouraged runaway climate change and led to massive economic and physical upheaval. I hope you don't own any Miami real estate. They will probably also care about the tens of millions of climate refugees.

Given as white men were in charge when all this goes down, perhaps they'll care more about aggressive and toxic masculinity (note qualifiers please) than you think.


Unfortunately, this initiative has a loophole large enough to fly helicopters through.  Most sprays are not directly next to homes and therefore would be continued.  It is strange that this company and environmental groups refuse to suggest the aerial spraying should be stopped, period.  Asking the State to determine supposedly safe buffers is a poor substitute for prevention.   Aerial spraying is banned on federal forests and aerial sprays drift for miles.  Upcoming Weyerhauser spraying in the Coast Range near Lorane would probably not be stopped by this initiative.


I just don't get how our confidential information gets stolen.  I thought Trump just asked us to turn over all information about ourselves from the day we were born and keep it in a safe in his house.


OMG I have never read such an out of touch comment like this before........look at all the talk shows, all the tv series coming out, the media,  all the celebrity narcissists attacking Trump and writing him into their story line,  they do not even try to cover up the contempt they have for their sitting President.    And to say maybe only 10 Universities with only a few hundred people are this nutty??  Wake up and try to sell it somewhere else.....sheesh.  And the Left are the ones who are a danger to democracy, not the right.


The occupational force  in Gaza is Hamas.


I see the photo of Senator Murkowski speaking with reporters.  I do not see any of her comments.  I see nothing from Senator Sullivan.  Ditto for Representative Young.  Perhaps those comments would be of interest to dispatch readers?


I read your 1960's study in more detail.   As no surprise, at age 9, the control group and preschool group had the exact same IQ level of 87.    What you also FAILED to mention is this was not just preschool for needy kids.   This was part time preschool augmented by family intervention and the participants were often single parent African American households.    The cost savings cited in the study were questionable and underlying factors had not been considered in totality.   Here's a link of an assessment done in 2011.

You are trying to provoke the same kind of mindless idiots that you have successfully turned into a mob in your country. Leave our country now, and don't come back. If not, we will throw you out.


Why is this non story front center along with Trudeau"s?   The media up to its tricks, just like the reporter who refused to acknowledge her question was already answered by Scheer.  And for the record there is nothing wrong with working for the Rebel Media.....why is this reporter making such a sinister thing out of hiring someone who did?   Whether Scheer knew it or not, makes no difference.


So...shut down the jails and prisons? What do we do  with criminals? And the violent ones? Is treatment and rehabilitation voluntary, or forced? If it's the latter, how do we enforce it if we don't incarcerate?


So the police can now return fire with similar fire? It's about time....


Biggest problem with mining companies, is that they are usually obligated, by law, to maximize profits for the shareholders.
I have been in contact with Pebble's VP, Mike Heatwole, suggesting that PLP incorporate some "benefit corporation" provisions into their bylaws.
Just a few changes to their bylaws, would protect the management from civil suits from the stockholders, if Pebble took extra (and expensive) precautions to help protect the environment. This would of course take away some profits that would normally go to dividends.
It would cost a couple billion of the profits to seal and backfill the pit, during the same time that Pebble was still operating. Come on, a couple billion isn't going to really hurt anyone's bottom line, what with over 500 billion in ore.
All the "No Pebble" until you're blue in the face won't stop Pebble from opening. There's too much money involved for the fat cats to give a hoot. Instead, support PLP incorporating "benefit" provisions into their bylaws.


Will be interesting to see if we can elect another ethical, non-professional politician to this office.


The BMA is in fact (as I read it) the worst thing that can happen to South Africa.  It would complete the  Zupta's  STATE CAPTURE, and they could do with the money whatever they wanted, because it wouldn't show any amounts collected and used on the SARS's system, because it would not be connected to it.  What is also now totally clear is that Malusi Gigaba is a completely captured individual, as this is his pet peeve.  This boy has a mission to accomplish, and he has been Minister to the main structures of our country to carry out his mandate.  Let us look at his resume, if I don't miss anything else. He was at the helm at: Transnet, Department of industry, Home Affairs, and now the Treasury and Minister of Finance.  I have to give the Gupta's kudos for their immaculate planning of the road to complete State Capture.  They have covered all the bases of complete control of our country. It is time to arrest and prosecute this traitor of the nation, failing which, South Africa is doomed.


Yea, because we can easily retroactively change what people have been promised by law. That's not begging for a lawsuit. Btw, PERA did significantly change their retirement tables after 2008 and new hires do not have bearing the same robust benefits as older workers.


(I'll try this again. Amazingly, it was rejected as being "uncivil." Apparently people really do vote based on whether they agree with the comment or not.)

I was speaking about voters in general, not necessarily Colorado voters. The GOP has slightly less representation than Democrats nationwide, but Independents are where it's at. We're the ones who decide elections, and we prefer moderates. (Again, I'm speaking generally.)
Despite her flaws, Clinton was more moderate than Trump, which is why I think she won Colorado. I think she would have won the country if Dems weren't such lazy voters.


All pit bulls should be euthanized


Silence is complicity. Pointing out equivalence, when there is none, is offering a defense.

Trump didn't know the facts on the ground, even on Tuesday. If he had, he'd have known the entire congregation was composed on white supremacist groups. No nice people there, just violent fools.


It is a way that already exists. Those who have been -convicted- (i.e. have received due process of law, not merely been baselessly accused) of even misdemeanor domestic violence (which has been construed very broadly by the Courts) are prohibited persons, reported to NICS, and cannot legally purchase, from a dealer or privately, nor possess firearms.


There's no evidence of that, or that Trump ever had any relationship with Putin.

Conspiracy theories aren't evidence.

And your girl Hillary blamed her loss directly on Comey -- had she won the election, she would have fired Comey too.

Think.


"During his campaign, President Trump talked a big game about rebuilding our nation’s infrastructure "

Why is Patty Murray talking about rebuilding things that haven't even been built once yet?

Regardless, I'd feel a lot more disappointed about this development if Sound Transit had come up with a financially responsible plan in the first place. Building what as far as I have been able to find is going to be the least cost effective transit system isn't a goal that exactly inspires me with a strong desire to continue.


throwing money at it is not the solution, it is an inefficient industry, governed by their own bodies etc.


Which Red Guard?


You are the one who is using "left wing" and "right wing" in trying to put modern liberals to blame for a movement that began in the years following the Civil War, led by the WCTU, Women's Christian Temperance Movement. Wilson was a progressive, and he vetoed the Volstead Act. This is what your BS is about: You say everything bad is from liberals, everything good is from conservatives. And you're not even a conservative, you are at the far edge of right wing , in my opinion. You hold not a single moderate opinion. I doubt you even know what moderate means.


Hockey is not a uniting force for the nation it was 30 years ago.
Number 1 watched sporting event in Canada is Super Bowl, number 2 World cup of soccer and number 3 the Euro cup. All three have nothing to do with Canada.

Kag....I am pretty sure I can hear this guy saying....patiently, "Look_________, funding for public schools is already thoroughly inadequate" AND you are arguing to further reduce this very inadequate funding by splitting it up between public schools desperately in need of every last dollar and other institutions.....your argument further imperils the kids left in the public school...do you really want to do that?

What we need is greatly enhanced public school funding itself"...and Kag I checked the school pop figures and came up with 51-2 million kids...

What the Globe & Mail meant to say was vote for the BC Liberals and maybe Christy Clark would resign. The Globe editorial board continues to discredit themselves with brain dead endorsements.


Trump and Trudeau are very much alike in making lots of noise but producing little substance.


Exactly......we have a very biased, manipulative media......and they wonder why people don't trust them.....always thinking we stooges are to stupid to see what they have been up to.


Agree totally. My favorite examples of how unhinged the left became after Trump's victory is the far lefties who, on the day of the election, before anyone knew what was gonna happen, were posting things on FB and Twitter essentially about how, "no matter how the election turns out, we need to work together in love and peace to move our country forward".  Clearly, they thought Mrs. Clinton was going to win.  Then, the very next day, without any sense of awareness or irony, these same far lefties filled their FB and Twitter feeds with "OH MY GOD [redacted] TRUMP, [redacted], [redacted], [redacted] TRUMP VOTERS!!!".

And when people tried to point the glaring discrepancies between the day of and the day after, these same far lefties responded with yet another stream of  violent invective fill with additional [redacted] terminology.

And then, with his infamous [redacted] Trump column, the uncivil Schwab positioned himself to be just like the deranged far left.


Rogoff: "We always tried to hew to the center line".  Uhmmm ... no.  Sorry to say, but you definitely did not do that.


This report is perfectly in keeping with the fact that the total for most major medical procedures in the U.S. is at least 4 times the total in other advanced countries. For example, a hip replacement costs about $50,000 in the U.S. and $12,000 in Europe ($3000 in India) . Of course, the outcomes are highly and roughly equally successful in all advanced countries; just far, far more expensive in the U.S.

Several websites offer cost comparisons for medical procedures abroad, for example https://www.medigo.com/  Have your favorite operation and pay for your vacation abroad!

Some decade soon, the U.S. will advance to a modern, cost effective health care system (preferably single payer insurance), but certainly not while Republicans or the Trump are in power.

The past tense of 'beget' is 'begot,' Comrade. If the Obama presidency was such a failure, why did Clinton, a candidate with much baggage and a woman to boot, garner almost 3 million more votes than Trump ? Maybe the begetting of Trump had much more to do with Putin's role in the U.S. election than did the imagined failures of the Obama administration. Maybe certain kinds of Americans are more loyal to their backward ideas than they are to the nation they inhabit and its democratic institutions. Maybe these pro-Putin dupes are the dregs of American society, their patriotism all show and no substance.


So mabrham, if they are failing at half the rate that means they are doing twice as well?  I think nrh clearlt stated there were 3 factors.  He couldn't be more accurate.  Why are you accusing him of bashing.


The Roman Catholic Church has failed victims of clergy abuse in so many ways. Changes have been made. Most of these changes are still being fought by many in the Hierarchy. For me, a victim , the biggest failure is the refusal of those in authority to take responsibility for their part in what has being going on for many, many years. They continue to see victims as the enemy. We are not the enemy. We never have been. We are innocent children whose lives have been altered in ways that most people cannot even fathom. Until the Church begins to treat victims with the care and concern that they deserve, the crisis will never end.


Would be better if all the autistic high school kids got together and had an exclusive prom of their own. I'll bet you they will like it better.


Jeffrey, have you ever considered that the majority of people in Hawaii are satisfied with the democrats and don't feel the need to vote?  In any case, what is the alternative to Democrats?  It is sad that the republican party has abandoned republican principles and today are little more than witch doctors practicing Voodoo.  Maybe the Greens or Libertarians can become the second party?


lol at the headline of this story...


I couldn't agree more.


Sounds like the former Marine got his hands on the lolo first.  Either way, he was toast.

Um, wow. Where to start with you? There is absolutely nothing in the article indicating that these three emails are in fact "classified." You realize that, right? You realize you are wrong, yes?

It's also clear that there's nothing in the articles indicating that the emails are even from Hillary Clinton. Do you realize that? Can you admit that you are wrong about that?

I'm betting you're going to ride those two statements into the ground no matter what. They're wrong, they're lies, and you're going to die on that hill.

As for your question, it's hard to restrain the epic facepalm. You don't know that Weiner's wife works closely with Hillary? After all that has happened, you don't know that, and you feel that you can provide a meaningful comment on that issue?

Unbelievable.


It would appear that the religion of Islam covers a wide spectrum of beliefs with different interpretations. Some of the sects within it are very peacefully while others, like ISIL, are not. It also appears that the various sects each feel that the others have misinterpreted the true meaning of the faith. This really an issue for Muslims to resolve however,  if it is to fit into the 21st century the religion of Islam is badly in need of a major overhaul.
In the interim perhaps we could make a dent in this kind of thing if we dealt with the mosques and educational institutions which preach a very conservative version of Islam, (salafism/Wahhabism/Muslim Brotherhood organizations for example) as these are the groups that are preaching a more conservative, one prone to a more violent interpretation


Oh great. I'm one of the 143 million. Oh wow free credit monitoring, woo hoo. And you will make it available to me on 9/13? What the heck? What a joke...


No matter who won, we likely will have another recession before the next election.  We are due for another one as we've never gone ten straight years without one and 2019 will be that and likewise with the housing bubble, that is bound to pop at some point.  Otherwise yes we will probably see another recession, but that is going to happen regardless of the ideological leanings of the provincial government.


The notion that moral issues are reducible to axioms like '1+1=2' is naive nonsense that shows an utter failure to grasp the issue at hand!  There is no 'one size fits all' cookie cutter answer to the problems of divorce, remarriage, and the best way to respond to those problems.  Amoris Laetitia proposes dealing with individuals on a case by case basis - that's the way it should be because no two cases are the same.  Nor can the role of a person's 'informed conscience,' which the Church teaches is the individual's supreme authority in matters of faith and morals, be ignored.  Burke wants to render the same verdict and punishment in all cases, no matter how divergent the individual circumstances.  That 'everyone is guilty no matter what' mentality is the hallmark of a God of vengeance and unrelenting punishment, not a God of love and forgiveness.Those who exalt the rule of  law over God's law if love and forgiveness are, in Biblical parlance, 'Pharisees.'


The likelihood of 'mass migration' in the US as a consequence of global warming is about the same as the historical 'mass migration' from the 'low countries' in Europe who have built massive structures to continue living below sea level.

http://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/06/science/in-europe-hightech-flood-control-with-natures-help.html

"So at a cost of some $8 billion over a quarter century, the nation erected a futuristic system of coastal defenses that is admired around the world today as one of the best barriers against the sea's fury -- one that could withstand the kind of storm that happens only once in 10,000 years.
The Dutch case is one of many in which low-lying cities and countries with long histories of flooding have turned science, technology and raw determination into ways of forestalling disaster.
London has built floodgates on the Thames River. Venice is doing it  on the Adriatic."

We rebuilt levees in New Orleans, remember?

 Florida is  a Presidential 'swing State'!

My question is still, how much do the top managers, CEO, head honchos make?


I can only imagine just being touched by this repulsive thing , never mind raped.


Trump: "I don't believe it." Based on what? Gut feeling or just denial that something might just be there? Something could have truely happen without his knowing. That would be actually believable but to just say "I don't believe it" leads a reasonable person to think you are covering up. Buffoon. What till a real crisis comes up that requires critical thinking skills without just pushing the button!


I had two over the years. They were unique in many ways. The thing though is that you never felt isolated from the machine. Always aware of what is going on.


They do a pretty good job without comparing to the Eastern Rites in my opinion..........you just don't know who the are many of them not knowing themselves.


Stadium manager Scott Chan said, “There’s always risk with an aging facility. At this time, though, it is a facility that is still operable and a safe facility to come to.”  Very scary comment to say here Mr. Chan but I know what you're trying to say.  Exciting times ahead Hawai'i!  Get on board to make sure your seats are locked when we take off!  Go Warriors!


100% agree....a disgrace of a leader


Ok all you NDP "LEAP" manifesto types, where is your hero Naomi Klein? Her fawning adoration of  Chavez and Venezuelan thuggery knows no bounds. I'm sure she's awfully hysterical over the thought that such a pathetic dictstorship could ever be sanctioned.


LOL you are off your rocker or off your meds.  I thought you were all about 'protecting those who were falsely accused of crimes'.  Usually you have to have actual proof to be guilty and this falls far far short of 'proven guilt'  Lets say we reversed a few facts in the story.  It was a black man and a black woman involved or a black man and a black man.  Or maybe just a anyone not as despised as a 'rich white girl' with a lawyer for a daddy.

As I have said repeatedly its possible that she is in the wrong but I would like to see some REAL proof not lynch mob NONSENSE. You have bought one possible story and are defending it without facts against other stories that could just as easily be accurate.


"No one should EVER physically Force the body to do anything that creates severe pain."

Then we had better eliminate high school, college, AAU, and Olympic wrestling immediately.


considering the attacks coming on trump its an easy conclusion and accurate,, by the way i am still waiting for you to make even any argument against my points but as usual you are incapable


What one pen has done another pen can undo.


This is something millions of believers has pondered and rightfully so.   This nation needs to fear God again.  Does this justify the attack - of course not and Moore certainly was not saying anything of the kind.  But sin robs a nation of God's protection and gives rise to foolish leaders.


Don't waste too much time on a poster who can only bring up a team's past. It comes from hate and jealousy. They cannot stand it, when a team is on the right track and put it together.


What is your medical training & experience ?

I know that you have the fundamentals, to debate in circles.


Curious  , what passes for " world news"


Every time he gets a chance to make a comment, that Edward Sonshine (sunshine up his azz?)  lets us know how incredibly positive it is for his company! How is RioCan not the most valuable company in Canada?


If we had proportional representation then the parties would have to learn to compromise and I believe we would have better, sounder government.


They weren't "removed".  They were being used elsewhere.  That they were "removed" with advance knowledge of an attack is a conspiracy theory that has been debunked.


Hillary never condemned Weinstein. She said she was "shocked and appalled by the revelation " but never condemned him. Maybe a small difference but maybe not. Maybe because Weinstein gave and raised $Millions for her campaign, but maybe not. Maybe because she doesn't want to give the money back, as others have, but maybe not.


That so heartless, gofundme funds the victims of every mass shooting victim in this country? They must have a purpose?


No schools require teachers to do such, and all have texts, and no-one pay's less than $2 for fuel, and no-one pays 9 times that, or even $9.  You are correct Janette.


This is NOTHING.  With an average of 6 stolen cars per DAY there's obviously a chop-shop in Anchorage that's out-innovated all of the auto parts chains in town.


Evolution describes a process of change among living things. It doesn't confirm that the origin of life is random.


As is Trump.


Rail and bus will overlap service because express routes will be canceled and bus riders forced to ride rail.

It would more than double the cost and make transit less efficient.


Great news! Canada has gotten a free ride with 'free' trade with the U.S. and the chickens are finally coming home to roost. Instead of protecting our local industries,both major political parties sold out to Communist China,TFW slave labor,and flooding our country with cheap trash at inflated prices. Businesses have to wake up from snooze land and develop new markets and pay more than lip service to the local labor force. President-elect Trump is doing Canada a great favor that will hopefully force Mr. Selfie to spend more time in his country and focus on the economy and not giving away taxpayers money abroad! Canadian businesses and many of their lazy politicians, like Manitoba's premier on two month 'working' holiday, out of the country, on the taxpayers dime, need a swift kick where the sun doesn't shine!


Selecting low-grade insulation in a rush to show you are 'fighting' Global Warming is very much a First World problem.


Meanwhile, tuition rates at the LCB have gone from 'that's a pretty good deal', to 'might as well go somewhere else'. And the rankings of the LCB? Well, they have trended in the opposite direction of tuition and fees.

Now tell me, in what other industry is there a product, where the price / quality trend lines are inverse of each other? It baffles the mind...


So what you are saying is that when NASA publishes data that does not fit your denial of climate change, you reject them.

I worked with some NASA people as well. I had a minor part in the correction of the Hubble space telescope optics.


like help - to sue you? People are already working on that.


Republicans are not totally to blame.  Key word is 'totally'.  Members of the house are re-elected every two years.  As such they are running continually for re-election.  1/3 of the senate likewise.  They know that 25 percent, or so, of republicans are adamant Trump supporters and it would be at their peril to counter Trump.  That is a misfortune for all of us.  What does it take fully knowing that TRUMP is mentally and emotionally unfit to hold office.  If one is to ask a Creationist what would it take to realize the Bible is not literal.  The answer is nothing.  So it is with a Trump supporter.  Nothing possibly would deter them from believing his lies.  Trump must be taken to task and examined by an exogenous entity such as the American Psychiatry Association.  He is THAT disturbed.  Take courage, take heart.  This means journalists, cable news, all who hold this nation more dear than party politcs and religious persuasions.


Cherry : Please don't paint all Democrats with a wide brush.  I've been a liberal Democrat all my life, while, at the same time, employing common sense......they shouldn't be mutually exclusive.

The JC State Hospital is a huge, huge fiasco.  I applaud Governor Brown for having the guts to recognize that fact and propose its closure.  Those legislators who pushed it through the legislature (in the face of unanimous opposition from all mental health professionals) will, hopefully, acknowledge their mistake instead of trying to defend it.  The idea of a mental hospital operating at a cost of $425,000 per patient per year boggles the mind.

I suggest those specific individuals who "ramrodded" the hospital construction should be the ones held accountable.  regards, Gary


Lynn, while we can appreciate your stand on protecting dividend payments, you need to reflect on your role in creating a $4 billion dollar budget deficit.

You voted for SB-21.  This legislation is unconstitutional as it gives away our oil- literally, almost $10 billion per year, tax- free.  Your vote to give away our oil, and your support for corporate welfare to the tune of $700 million per year has created a $4 billion dollar deficit.

We are troubled when you proclaim that when Alaska stands up for itself- that we are "attacking" the oil industry.  Presumably you read these responses to your piece.  Please explain how you think that you are not violating your oath of office when you ignore what is required in Art. VIII of the Alaska Constitution.  Our constitution requires we get "maximum benefit" (for Alaskans) from our natural resources.  When the owners (us) are giving away almost $10 billion per year, how is this remotely constitutional?


You're embarrassing yourself.  Please read "Centesimus Annus" by JPII, especially paragraphs 35-42.


This three-times convicted felon is getting to be a real pest.  Maybe he is a 'suicide by cop' aspirant?


He doesn't like Muslims who want to blow you up. Sounds like you listen to MSNBC or CNN.  At least consider both sides of the issue.


Goodness are people actually crediting the Blue Jackets' success to hard work? Didn't think you needed that dimension to win, in hockey.


Verbiage is one thing but why does Richard Poplak feel compelled to include schoolboy obscenities that add nothing to his otherwise interesting contributions to Daily Maverick.

So if the PFD payout is increased that would be the same as reducing taxes? brilliant. Actually the PFD is a negative tax. A tax by definition is a contribution, not a dividend. That is why the acronym is PFD, not PFT


The house didn't rebuke anything.  A small committee thumbed their nose at their colleagues and all Alaskans.


A:  Is George Soros included in the story or is it just another liberal political hack job?


CChild - you need to read the story a little closer. He has no interest in building anything in Canada. It is merely a second choice country from which he is attempting to re-open underground hospitals in Syria.


Since Washington is owned by Beltway Boys, another word for Corrupt Bastsards Club, how is Mr Sanders going to get anything done when the Koch and Norquist boys own everybody including Don, Dan and Lisa. Remember no matter who,they sign a statement of loyalty to Norquist to promise not to implement taxes on wealthy and corporations. Just us stupid voters who put them in office get to pay!


I love this comment by the dealership bc it will prove that all these so-called patriots offended by the 'disrespect' shown to military service men and woman are fakes. Little money, time or interest will be shown in their Mount Carmel Veteran's Service Center that is actually trying to address the true disrespect to our military - the physical, mental, behavioral, and financial toll they endure daily, which is largely ignored by the government and these so-called 'patriots'.

Truly respecting those who have, are currently and will serve is to treat them with dignity which extends to much more than simply standing for a song!!!


Whisper it, Steve, but a poster not a million pixels away actually stated - not for the first time - that Burke and Co demanded an explanation in his answers and not just yes or no's. He even gave a link to the actual letter. Then of course in the letter was the exact opposite to what he had claimed. Burke actually DID want simple yes or no answers "without any theologising."

It is mindblowingly crass that he is back on accusing people of not reading it.


Catou,
Why would you waste even 3 minutes of your life thinking about where the stock market is headed next? This theme keeps coming through in your many comments.Haven't you learned anything from Warren or P Lynch? Any investment plan that starts with a market forecast is doomed to failure.

Or do you know? And could you tell us how? ( gut feel doesn't count, sorry-could just be gas).


Your post consists of a  'little hands' attack and then you call Trump 'immature'?  You just have no sense of things, do you?


You used to edit W Week when it was a collection of counter culture rants and pornographic images.  You are stuck in the past, baby.


Stupidity has no shame so he won't be erasing anything.


"top heavy"???????

In an average sized school board in OntariOWE, you have 1 Director, 7 Superintendents, 5 Senior Managers, 52 Principals and... 3,435 other staff and teachers, 20,000 adult and continuing education students and 22,000 day school students.  You have 13 people managing the affairs of 45,435 staff and students on a $250,000,000 budget.  I sure as heck hope you redefine your understanding of "top heavy" because this isn't it!!!


It's misogyny! No it's Russia. It's Comey!  It's Macedonia! If only more illegals and dead people made it to the polling places!  Well, she may not have said that last one out loud.

Did you hear her talking about her email scandal being a "nothing burger"?  Sure Hillary! That's why your staffers took the fifth, others were granted immunity, you had cell phones smashed with hammers, and you wiped your server (you mean like with a cloth?) No, like with BleachBit.  All for a little nothing burger.


Still working at 71???? Hahahahahaha, lol... I gave up at 50,... give the younger kids a chance in the salt mine!


23 point favorites sounds about right as UCLA's Josh Rosen was picked Pac-12 player of the week, leading the Bruins to five straight TD drives in a little over one quarter of play, passing for nearly 300 yards in the fourth quarter.


What a beautiful person she is. Brother and sister are both blessed to have each other!


Hi TransparentCourts, thanks for not having a point, ever.


Where is Joe Vogler when you need him.  He proposed a "scenic highway" from Juneau to Seattle.  Blasting some glaciers out of the way would only be a minor imposition.  Kind of flies in the face of the word "scenic".   But the bottom line: Road to Skagway - child's play.  We need to think bigger.  Did someone below say something about sarcasm?


Actually- it is a relief that someone actually points out that the natural consequence of setting up the funding system as we- or rather actually the Conservatives- have is that there is now no alternative to the odd bit of stroking that goes on.  I think eliminating the direct government support for our democratic machinery was a mistake- giving the better off more influence in the process is not necessarily fair to all parties because as we all know they logically tend towards supporting the Conservatives- ergo the rule change by them.


Bill, I think you are strictly framing journalism as a profession rather than considering journalism as an ideology, and a way of being in the world, and understanding the world. In the latter perspective, which I recommend highly, comments are a part of journalistic discourses. They share the same basic space (physically and conceptually), so they should have some fundamental standards. My argument is really simple. If you work for (or lobby for) a particular special-interest group, then you should disclose that background when you comment on that particular topic. If you do not, you inherently present yourself as something you are not, unaffiliated and independent (of the substructure you belong to). ... And in terms of being your Reader Rep, whether you agree with me or not, my role is to prompt and foster these types of important societal discussions. Whether I agree with you or not, I appreciate your participation, and I hope you continue to promote civil discourse here.


I'm not cherry picking data like your researchers did - here's all of the US crime since 1960:
http://disastercenter.com/crime/

Compare rate in the years and decades before and after the periods of the study you cite. Compare it to other states. Compare it to the US as a whole.


I agree that KYC means a financial advisor is basically hamstrung and has to suggest GIC's here.  The problem with KYC is that when people are unsophisticated, as this couple is, it leads to horrible choices (like putting $300K in GIC's).  What these people really need is an education.

Right now all their income is from GIC's, pensions and annuities.  They are basically 100% invested in secure stuff.  They have $300K leftover, a long-term investment horizon (both mid 60's, so most likely 20 years) and need income.  Clearly, the best option here is dividend paying stocks.

While they were burned by the Great Recession, the only reason they were burned is because they sold.  Again, showing a lack of understanding about risk.  Buy dividend stocks, earn more money than a GIC and on a tax-preferred basis.  And in 20 years you kids will have way more than $300K.


Finally, eye witness testimony.


Keep dreaming.


Apple did they same thing by buying schools computers. Every school when i was kid had only apples, if thats not product placement i dont know what is.


CRA goes after the little guy who might owe them 300$.

But for the multi million dollar international money laundering scams happening all over the country (representing billions), still nothing concrete.


Actually, I don't believe anything that a politician say's. But Sarah, she's in a league by herself. As far as the book, no didn't and won't buy it because I don't need a book to see why she lost. But on the other hand it's sold 300,000 copies in one week so I enjoy the fact that will p!ss all you Billy Bobs off


Groucho,

You wrote: "I don't understand why Dr. Carson continues to support Trump." He's made that point clear in numerous interviews: the great evil that he sees in Hillary Clinton and the damage her plans will do to the nation. If you can find anyone in the MSM who will let you read or hear any of what he says, his answer includes some considerable detail.


How many jobs and how much tax revenue does building the odd ferry and processing  logs to lumber create (remember, there is a certain issue with softwood lumber exports to our number one importer)? Geothermal and solar will not pay the bills, both of them suck revenue out of government coffers !


Maybe a nice change for us would be for our PM to look at Canada's needs, i.e. Canada first, rather than chasing  UN kudos.


They tied winners and losers but those terms were outlawed years ago by equally irrational and nonsensical people as yourself.  You see terminology that talks of winners and losers is upsetting to the special snowflakes among us.


it is the perception . he lacks credibility


There is no credit to be given.
He is doing what his boss, the Russian stooge in the White House, wants, and that is to disintegrate American links with friendly nations and destroy the inner structure of American government. That is what Yanykovych did in Ukraine, when Putin and Manafort installed him to run Ukraine into the ground so Putin's Russia could steal land.
We haven't seen Putin's end game yet, what he is planning while he still has the Trump clan infesting the White House. It is Putin's style to hide in the darkness and arm groups who can disrupt and kill and open the doors to Russian military.
I think  of that picture of Trump and the Russians in the White House, and fear.

Not an IT guy. He simply worked in voter expansion. Highly unlikely this guy had any access to Hilary's email or servers, and would therefor be a pretty unlikely "target" of either side.


May is shameful.  She basks in the orange glow of Trump the Magnificent when it suits her.  And then she distances herself when the baying left applies some pressure.  If you want to play the role of junior partner (e.g., Mussolini), you need to show some loyalty to the senior partner.  Trump may need to look elsewhere for a decent sidekick.  I hear that Putin would make a good dance partner.  And cozying up to Putin would have the added advantage of keeping under wraps Trump's cameo in "On Golden Pond".


"never enjoyed the thrills, emotions and joy that the Hip brought into most Canadian lives, "

Most Canadians have never heard one of their "songs". And if they did wouldn't know who they were.


Yes. I'd rather they joined gangs. Gangs are less deluded and dangerous.


Jim, your passion and will to distort the truth is commendable. Unfortunately, Trump fumbled what was probably an easy at bat for most humans.

Here is his full comments from Aug. 12, the day the deplorables killed a protestor:

"We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence on many sides—on many sides. So we want to get the situation straightened out in Charlottesville and we want to study it and we want to see what we're doing wrong as a country, where things like this can happen."

THEN and only then, after fury from his own party (whom como Estas is trying to distance himself from) and every other sector of America, did Trump denounce the violence from those deplorables by name.


The Country is imposing a 20 Trillion dollar debt on our children, grandchildren and yet to be born great-grandchildren.  There was a hiring freeze for every federal agency less those involved with our security.  Is there a way the government can restrain spending so future generations will have the luxury of visiting a national park or will we have to sell off our parks to the Chinese?  Jared Polis is a multimillionaire. He has never been told no to anything he has wanted.  He thinks that is how the world works.


The largest nation controlling the euro to its benefit is the greatest threat to the global economy by the exporting crisis and inflation. It must sell, sell, sell, and not buy anything or face imbalance! It is difficult to see how Canada can benefit. The UK, voted to leave for good reason. This oxymoron for a union is undemocratic, non transparent, and failing.  Shame on our politicians.

Never mind being sued, our government will also subsidize drugs costs, amid our already overburdened health care to, just to protect drug giant's patents. How many people know this or would vote for this. Deals are in secret, for five years!

This is a horrific deal handed down by the business biases conservatives, under the guise of free trade and not free trade. Trump was right to impose a 35% tariff on German cars with their unfair surplus than extend exploiting North America. No wonder populism is all the rave!


Sidenote:  Vladimir Putin praised Trump after the nomination.  Trump has said that he admires Putin.  Birds of a feather.


So you are opposed to sending any aid to Florida, Texas , Louisiana , and the majority of the east coast ? Good thing there are no Forest Fires that need to be fought in Colorado.


Conservative Alaskans are proven idiots. They'll continue to vote for the 3 stooges regardless of what they do or don't do.  Republicans have ruined this state but people keep voting them in.  It's on them.


The letter had it right. As a Canadian I do not want a convicted criminal admitted to Canada. Obama may have commuted the sentence but the conviction stands. However, I am worried that Trudeau might ignore Canadian law and admit Manning so that he can score a selfie with the convicted traitor.


RangerMC, I suggest you read these fact-checking efforts on the wire-tapping story: http://www.factcheck.org/2017/03/examining-trumps-wiretap-claim/ and https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/06/us/politics/fact-checking-trumps-defenses-of-his-wiretapping-claim.html and ... https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2017/03/05/trumps-evidence-for-obama-wiretap-claims-relies-on-sketchy-anonymously-sourced-reports/?utm_term=.e2680f09f607 Look at the evidence provided, and judge for yourself. ... The accuser doesn't even spell wiretap correctly. ... What you are saying here does not match the facts in public circulation; I'm assuming you don't have personal insights into this case, but if you do, please let us know. ...


If you had paid any attention for the last few years, you would already know that he always stands on principle. This is why he should have been President.


Posted my comment after the pic was up. As for what I was saying, Marshawn, The cops didn't give the community a chance to finger this guy so they could get him off the streets quicker. Meanwhile, they posted the name and image of some young 19 year old gal with a $500 failure to appear warrant and asked the community to help locate her. Where is the priority? LEO tend to take their secret code to an extreme when it behooves them and the communities they "serve" to share a little info to expedite the safety of the citizens.

This all went down 5 years ago and the perp is soon to be released. If his 1 day off in three good time remains intact.

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

Yahh,  when Bill+Byron got elected they inherited a crime scene...
It looks like a botched mass-suicide resulting from a bunch of Hale-Boppers who endured decades of abuse and embezzlement from a consortium of kooky corporations owned by Marshall Applewhite.

...no wonder the crime rate is so high is Alaska.
The police blotter looks like Florida, Texas, Chicago, NewYork.

AGDC+AKLNG looks like a dead end trap to me, the blueprints of this megawhopper gasline LNG project are of bogus origin. Bill+Byron inherited a shipwreck salvage project which is out of sync with the tide-tables. We dunno if we are salvaging the Princess May or the Princess Sophia.

"Americans are questioning the value of their global leadership, so countries like Canada have to be prepared to step."
Step how?  Step where?  The missing word would appear to be either "up" or "in."

I beg to differ.  No, Canada does NOT need to spend $62 billion additional dollars.  Whatever spending is done  should be allocated to defend and safeguard Canadians here, at home.  Any military money spent in the Middle East or Africa is wasted.  Buy the jets, build the ships, beef up cyber defense and help prevent radicalization that endangers Canadians right here. That's it, that's all.

Americans are slow to learn: it's taken them close to 70 years to finally "question the value of their global [military] leadership"--or whatever else you might want to call it (and plenty of words come to mind.)  Let's learn some lessons from them, Canada.


Thanks for the input.


What is?
.
That you don't have to abide by the law, until it actually becomes a law?


Don't know about Omar but his family has different kind of fireworks in mind.


Wow your a manly man 😅


If they could program something to stop the 50,000 artillery shells that will hit Seoul in the first 30 minutes of any conflict then maybe they'd have an option.


" Curious that you avoid the question of why the girls weren't told the reason for their denial."
I did? You think my statement  "The U.S. is not obligated to issue visas nor do you have special privileges for entry" implies the U.S. is obligated to give them a reason? Oh brother.
"The question then is whether your lack of civil behaviour is a result of bad manners, a bad upbringing, or unresolved anger issues. "
LOL. You just get in deeper and deeper. This has to do with your whine concerning entry into the U.S. , nothing more. Maybe you were never taught to obey laws you like and whine about those you don't, especially when the U.S. is involved?
You're stumbling big time, again blabbering about visits Canadian to websites. The answer is obvious, isn't it? Correcting your myths and taking you and your ilk to task is a favorite past time. Feeble "defenses" that say little are always the reply. And by the looks of it, seems to me you may be the one in need of a less stressful hobby.


Exactly.


Yer repating yerself.


The one who is asking people not be manipulated is the same person who himself is a WMC puppet, who every now and then switches his agendas to divert the attention of the people ! For one second he talks about ANC unity and the other second he shifts the blame on his own party members for spreading corruption within the party.  He keeps targeting Guptas so that the people can be fooled.


If it is a non-profit, there is a board of directors who could be consulted. Undoubtedly they are already aware of Bart. The bottom line is (to me) that the executive director isn't knowledgable enough about IT to grasp that it is almost hilarious to suggest that Bart has some special IT talent that could not be replaced by a high school senior. NGOs don't need anything special in this department, give me a break. The ED is either limited in experience (many NGO hire oldsters w/o a good current knowledge of IT and related marketing matters) or is simply too weak to go through the fit Bart will have when he is shown the door. I would leave.

Oh come  off it. I bet that Sessions would have bitten off Rosenstein's hand to get hold of the document! Do you deny that this paragon of virtue has been sidelined from the Russia-Trump probe because of his sessions(sic) with the Russian ambassador? Be off with you, troll!!!!!


Time for ESL


Carolyn you have made some good points that deserve attention however your case has been weakened by trying to jump on the left's bandwagon and denigrate Trump.  I doubt that you have ever met the man.   You may be working from a political narrative that has been promoted by the Clinton campaign and the media in order to smear him.  "Innocent until proven guilty"?

Only God knows the full truth.  Trump is an imperfect sinner in need of God's Grace just like the rest of us.  However there sure are a lot of people willing to throw stones just before the election!

I am reminded of Naboth's vineyard and Ahab and Jezebel.  It is not that hard for kings and queens like the Clintons to get people to come forward and make accusations - e.g. does anyone remember what happened to Clarence Thomas?

I am very troubled that AT, which is a publication that I have gladly supported since its inception has now repeatedly taken such a partisan position.


The other part of how the Australian model won't work here, is the rabid gun folks.  I'm not talking the run of the mill hunters or target shooters, but the guys who scream that the 2nd Amendment is about keeping the government in check.  Those folks honestly believe they can fight the government with their ARs.  Many of them are couch commandos, but many of them would actually try to fight it out if the 2nd Amendment was repealed.

Personally I don't want to see anything as drastic as the Australian model here, but I do think that we need to find a solution.  That solution isn't just more guns, I'm not sure what it looks like, but more guns isn't' the answer.


"Anchorage will determine every election in Alaska."

Um, it already does when it comes to the electoral college.  And to our congressional delegation.


Isn't that what MSW just did to the Wanderer article?


And Paul you have made your partisanship clear.


WOW. JoelBanks totally legitimate comment was deleted even as I wrote this answer to his question: "What's wrong with my comment?" Allegorical Answer: you're a boxer boxing a rival, you're both taking a share of knocks while also landing a share of blows; the knocks you take are for whatever reason not very hard knocks, and it seems your blows are in contrast quite a bit harder; suddenly you spot an opening during a moment of your opponent's showboating; you wind up and take one amazing swing which lands square on the jaw of your adversary - POW- And it's lights out baby! You win!  BUT WAIT! Your opponent starts balling their eyes out like a baby, gets off the couch and mashes the reset button on the Nintendo.  You see, they were playing a big fat game of Mike Tyson's Punchout this whole time, you know, where they never have to face up to a big fat LOSS because they simply cut all power to the bad bad mean people who beat them. Yup. That's it.


"Is President Donald Trump’s immigration ban an abuse of his power? "
No, it is mass immigration that is abuse of power-turning white majority into invisible minority.


Your 99.5 TDI is a high pollution vehicle....we understand your bias and need to lash out at the USA.


I can top that:  Ebonics.


Do they understand what they are really protesting is free speech?

Nope, they are just plain stupid.


Certainly climate should not be a political issue, it's as scientific as they come. It's beyond me why it should be a requirement for every good Conservative to be a denier and every progressive voter a believer.


Amazing how the public was so eager to elect this bunch of clowns who are now plundering the wealth of the nation.


In the case of Hillary Clinton the hatred is completely irrational. It is the cumulative effect of twenty years of Fox News and right-wing radio vilifying her 24 hours a day seven days a week. It all started because she was perceived as uppity simply by virtue of the fact that she wanted to be a productive First Lady who didn't simply stay home and bake cookies all day. That enraged both men and women on the right for whom such a declaration was a step too far. The right found their villainess and they haven't let up on her ever since Roger Ailes took the helm of Fox in '96.

Hatred of Trump, however, is completely rational based on the very real possibility that he could single-handedly bring on Armageddon, which maybe is why evangelicals like him - they're ready to be raptured and Trump's their man to make it happen. Trump's very instability would instantly tank the stock market and it would never recover from the crash he would cause. Then there are the wars. God help us all.


Says the researcher: "My own son’s first memory was from the age of 22 months. Children who are 2 often remember pieces, three-year-olds have a lot of memory ..."

I'd be interested in seeing the research on that--not the numbers of people who say "I remember", but how researchers know for sure.  Many people claim to "remember" things in early life, but what I think they REALLY remember is what they were told about their pre-5 year old self by others--parents, in particular. Call them "second-hand memories."

If I can't remember anything younger than, say 3.5 years--safe age, in my instance--what's wrong with me, Hmm?  "Memory deficient"? Oh, woe.

  I know I have some "pieces" from about 3.5 that are truly mine--because I've never told anybody else about them and nobody "reminded me" about the time that ______ (fill in the blank.)

The best reason to take  kids younger than 4 on big travels?  Cheaper than paying people to care for them back home.


Supply chain logistics apparently. I'm set


Let's do the test.

Government has:
Full control over the means of production? Yes
Full control over distribution? Yes
Full control over labor? Yes
Full control over prices? Yes
Government sets economic plan/production targets? Yes

Was NAZI Germany socialist?  Yes.

One lie (by Korea) doesn't undercut the tests I've laid out, it only proves they're a socialist goverment as well.  tks.


They also directed that he not leave the hospital to go home to die. Pope Francis seems to have heard the call: “the Holy Father follows with affection and emotion the situation of Charlie Gard, and expresses his own closeness to his parents. He prays for them, wishing that their desire to accompany and care for their own child to the end will be respected.”


As Bob rae found out in 1990s Ontari, you can't spend your way to prosperity. When will these half-wit "progressives" ever learn?


You mean the god who won't allow you to wear mixed fiber clothes, demands that rebellious children be stoned to death, directs you to take the wife of a man you killed as a slave, won't allow anyone with a physical deformity approach the alter... that god?  I see you failed to mention Christ in your rant.  You know, the Christ that directs you to turn the other cheek, love your enemies, don't seek wealth, throughs the money-changers out of the church, give away your worldly possessions to those who ask...  You don't sound like a Christian to me.  Not sure why you are.

After Liliuokalani's attempt to put forth her own constitution J.L. Kaulukou changed his mind about her.  Once a staunch supporter of her, and gave Liliuokalani the term "steadfast", he saw the light and embraced Democracy.
Kaulukou was the Speaker of House of the Republic of Hawaii at the time of annexation. As Kaulukou told the San Francisco Chronicle on July 28, 1898, "I regard Annexation as the best thing that could happen for Hawaii, both native and foreign population. I have advocated it ever since it became an issue in political politics and I rejoice heartily that it has come. For years I have looked upon it as being, if not inevitable, at least as the only way in which the best interests of Hawaii could be protected and advanced".
So, here is a Polynesian-Hawaiian, Speaker of the House, (which was dominated by Polynesian-Hawaiians) saying annexation was best for all.


Guess all those true-blue Your Js fans who were bad-mouthing re-signing Justin Smoak, or who later proclaimed he was this yr's Michael Saunders, there's a big helping of crow over here on this table.

Feel free to gorge yourselves, and once finished there, please partake of any of the other remaining 7 deadly sins menu which happens to catch your fancy.

The decent outings from both Liriano and Estrada this week may pique--or peak--some interest from other teams, so maybe you get back something beyond just a  bag of used split-finger fastballs.


Your argument is better than most, GS, but it still has fatal shortcomings.

TWU doesn't deny entry to ANYONE. Everyone is welcome, regardless of their religion, sexual orientation, etc. Those who enter voluntarily agree to abide by certain rules. LSUC, however, DOES deny entry to certain people: those who got their law degrees at Trinity Western.

I can certainly accept that LSUC may establish rules for its membership, just as TWU does. For example, LSUC could state explicitly that their members must offer professional services to anyone regardless of the sexual orientation. Voila! Problem solved, no?

However that's not the approach LSUC has taken. Rather, it seeks to exert influence over a religious institution by denying entry to those who are or were members of it.


Totally differ.
What is needed is to Phase-in e-verify over 2 years and at the same time, help with moving towards robotics.
H1B needs to be constrained and then removed, and H2B needs to be slowly gutted. Like lower the number by 10-5% each year.

In order to have cheaper goods than the rest of the world, we need to AUTOMATE THEM HERE.

I agree with one thing you say, Franklin Galvin1 - "The simple answer is to uphold our actual human rights laws."

I've posted this before, so please excuse the repitition, but here's what an Alberta court said last year about ordering a private school to find a place for muslim students to pray, a private place convenient to both the school and the students:

"[the private school] characterizes the tribunal’s decision as a “precedent-setting decision with far reaching implications” With respect, that is not an accurate characterization. The tribunal applied well-established principles of law. For many years, public and private schools have been required to adhere to human rights legislation in offering their educational services to the public."

What they are doing would have been called 'sedition' for many many years.

Our expansive view of First Amendment Rights makes sedition laws pretty much obsolete.

'Seditious Conspiracy' is still a viable charge though.

The 'blind sheik' was convicted of this as one of the charges in the first 'Twin towers' bombing attempt.

The far left of the democratic party has morphed of late from 'loyal opposition' to 'seditious conspirators.'

It may be time for Grand Juries.


Eyefly, I will tell you, a professional driver would not dodge a pothole and endanger another life. Also, I see you are not knowledgeable about diesels. Leaving our engines running, ilding is the worst thing we can do for them, they are best shut off, running at rated under load, or using an APU or other means. We may all, be one as you suggest, yet I humbly suggest you take some further education courses. Take care.


I am very partisan.  The guy votes anyway he is told and has been ignoring conservative voices since day one.  You may think that is a good thing but it is not.  He wins every two years because the district includes parts of Jefferson County and Adams County.  It slightly favors Democrats and he wins every two years... slightly.


Please show us the section of the Instruction where it speaks about polygamists.


Funny joke last year.

This year-eh-no.


"In schools today they are taught: Nazism is bad, Fascism is bad.  If they think anything is bad, they then pick one of those two labels and apply that label!" motley

Love those "alternative facts" that you reliably post. You would have not only flunked elementary school, you'd have been sent home for lying.


Are you really naive enough to believe that no charges equals no corruption? But I could settle for "lying" and "self-serving".


They celebrate killing evil westerners, is that western-er-phobia?  I wonder what our PM has to say about that?


For years I have been a loyal reader because I had faith in the reporting.  However, today I'm terribly disappointed with the story as written.  There is a vast difference between bill’s deferral and "Committee Kills Aid in Dying".  Words have meaning.


Governor Bill, you'd better start listening to what Alaskans want you to do, which is to tell them to take a long hike.  I suggest you send them a map of the Chilkook trail.

One might also ask, how can a dyed-in-the-wool leftie like Caplan be so keen on Wall Street's anointed candidate who has no time for deplorable, irredeemable former blue-collar workers?

Hillary lost because she deserved to lose, and her undoing was the vote of precisely those voters that Caplan should have the most sympathy for.


Why must monuments be used for celebration?

The pyramids are used as teaching tools, for the society (and the slaves) that built them.


Why is mother nature not properly processing the increase in CO2?  Is she mean-spirited or just asleep at the wheel?

Wrong again!

News flash: Trump isn't my president, but McWynnety is Ontariowe's Premier.

As an Ontariowe voter, ending the 15 long dark years of breathtaking Liberal corruption and incompetence is far more important than the obsessions of the TDS-afflicted...


You babble more than Hillary trying to explain why she lost the election.


What a dork


When did Jon Gray become Cy Young? In his rookie season last year he went 10 and 10 with an era of 4.61. The word to describe that performance is mediocre. Perhaps that makes him the ace of the Rockies staff, but it doesn't lead me to believe he is going to make a big impact on the team or season. If the Rockies are going to make a run at the wild card (the last two weeks pretty much flushed the dream of winning the west) the Monforts are going to have to spend some money and young players to bring in veteran players.


Another hack writer.  Making this article about ludicrous but not mentioning that Canada will not give permission to enter Canada if you have ever had a pot conviction.  Ever.  So put that in you pipe and smoke it Christopher Ingraham.. its called "ludicrous"...


You missed the point completely.


Securing our borders and making sure all immigrants come in correctly is how it needs to be to keep Americans safe. If Immigrants want to live in the United States of America do it right the first time. Terrorism is one of the concerns. Sorry Mazie Change is always hard, it always is. For sure it will happen. Aloha


So, now that this funding is tied to a Byzantine formula to identify need, watch schools (and parent councils) try to game the system to ensure that their school falls above the threshold....

Here's a hint:  maybe you should look at factors that a school can't game, like (just to pick one) income inequality in their catchment area.


Government Hill always seems like you've left Anchorage and entered a nice quiet town outside of Anchorage. I am freaked out this morning to see that the sirens we heard last night were because someone was shot in our little community. I hope this was an isolated incident.


Nothing is confusing me at all.  People born in the united states of foreign descent do not refer to a different country other than that of their birth as their home country. "Home Country" is the country of your birth.

I am not arguing that he was born there, only that there are a myriad of reason in which the Obama's have provided to give conspiracy theorist a reason to believe he might have been  born outside the US.  No of which have anything to do with him being black.  Now is that still confusing to you?


Very loving story. Thank you! And I laughed a little when you wrote that the body bag was not quite long enough to fit your dear husband. The Dutch people are so tall!


I think you meant "precedent";

for sure. I concur.


Anyone can sue.  Whether they will win or settle depends on the case


Speaking of " tips" you looked busy, so I didn't want to interrupt, besides with the line that forming for your attention, you were going to have a very profitable day.

I was seriously looking at the possibility of choosing a 3rd party this election cycle. Specifically I was looking at Johnson/Weld. After digging in a bit I came to the realization that they have ideals but no actual plan. Any presidential nominee that is afraid to get "in the weeds" of their own plans will not get my vote.

This election cycle should be embarrassing to all of us. In my opinion not a single candidate is qualified and will only add to the problems we are currently facing, some more than others.

I am still absolutely dumbfounded how easily the Republican party fell for Trump. There is a lot of talk from the Republican party about vetting refugees, I think they should practice on their presidential nominees.

In my opinion Clinton is the closest to qualified and the more honest of the two major parties by far. I would be impressed if she dropped Kaine and picked up Pence as VP. I know that will never happen but it could go a long way towards resolving some of our issues.


This event is a well-documented scam that makes people believe it's for charity, when really they're using charity volunteers as unpaid workers. It's also a blatant cultural appropriation of a Hindi festival. Can we stop letting this stupid event come here?

why buy bottled water at a price higher per litre than gasoline, when tap water is available to most Canadians??  Insane.


All deeply religious people feel no doubt in the foundations of their belief.


The reason capital gains are only partly taxed is because part of the apparent gain is the result of inflation and, therefore, no real gain at all. Capital gains were once taxed at 75 %, but this was reduced to 50 %. With inflation as low as it is now, bringing the rate back to 75 % doesn't seem unreasonable.

The reason for the dividend tax credit is that the corporation has already paid income tax. If the shareholders had to pay income tax on the full amount of the dividend, there would be double taxation. The credit is supposed to offset the tax that has already been paid. The foreign tax credit is based on the same principle.

The logic is that "a buck is a buck is a buck" (for the history behind this, see https://www.policyalternatives.ca/publications/commentary/putting-fairness-back-canada%E2%80%99s-tax-system ) and should be taxed at the same rate. It isn't based on the idea that any particular group should be rewarded.


With a comment like that, how can anyone take you seriously? Step back and let your school taught critical skills come in to play. You may not support Trump following clear-headed critical thinking, but you will realize your comment has no basis of fact.


Let's phase out the Auto industry first. They contribute 80% of the emissions from consuming a barrel of oil. Let's phase out the Forest industry. They cut down our carbon sink at an alarming rate. Let's phase out the arrogance of the Liberal Party of Canada, our comrades in the Natural Ruling Party from Central Canada. We'd be better off.


Mr. Knox, if you want to waive your religious flag and advance your religious views then I suggest you pick a street corner and have at it.  You know NOTHING about Planned Parenthood. You know NOTHING about the reproductive process. You know NOTHING about women. You know NOTHING about human rights and dignity.


The anti-gun nuts always seem to chime in with ideas when they don't actually know what they're talking about.


The comment section has devolved into character assassination. Good job, ADN.


Hello Mr. Yellin,

You pretend that overseas money is not behind high Vancouver house prices.

Well, let's review some facts:

1. In the past 3 decades, house prices in greater Vancouver skyrocketed to reach dozens of times the average annual local income.

2. In the timespan of one generation, elementary schools went from less than 5% to over 75% students with facial features consistent with Chinese ancestry.

3. Those schools were in places (west side Vancouver, Richmond, South Surrey) where houses are most expensive, about two million dollars each.

So impress us with your insight, Mr. Yellin. Explain to us how items 1 through 3, above, happened.

See, the reality is that they happened because Canada imported lots of rich folks from Hong Kong and Mainland China, who flooded the market with billions of dollars, skyrocketing prices. It is obvious and plain.

There is no other explanation. Local workers CANNOT get house prices to dozens of times the average annual pay.


People said the same thing about facebook, amazon, google, etc., and they all succeeded. Snap has way better video feed and tools than all those other social media apps and it's just a matter of time before ads tap into that. Old people just dont get it.


It's great that he cares for his dogs. It would be even better if he cared enough not to put them in danger in the first place.


Where would be Irish be if they had all stayed in Ireland?


Well written but the conclusion is wrong:  We (40 -50 somethings) are leaving and our children are leaving even faster than we did.  My teenage daughters are very turned off due to the church's exclusion of women and the LGBT set.  They are naturally turning elsewhere.


Being a retiree without the wonderful pension of MP's is tough enough as is with low bond returns.   The idea that "the rich" are the only ones impacted by an increase creates a very puzzling question of what we consider "rich" to be.


Why are they so ignorant? Well, they only produce that dirty crap for customers.  They'd give it up pronto if the eco-socialists in BC weren't out there driving around by themselves in their trucks/SUVs - commuting endlessly back and forth to work and then heading off to the anti-tarsands rally on the weekends. Darned ignorant Albertan/Texans.


While I appreciate your memories and the story's morale, I have one practical question: what was the country in your story? Definitely, not Russia (or the USSR for this matter)


They will just raise the gas tax and let those that refuse to change pay a bit more........


Au contraire.   Deriding people of faith is in no way non-partisan.  Bad move on her part and even worse on Trudeau's.    This is not leadership.    It is knee-jerk superiority.   Speaks volumes.


Dear Denise,

Just because one is white, male, educated, speaks English, pays taxes and oh yeah makes a decent living, does NOT mean you are racist!


The USS Constitution, commissioned by president George Washington, is still seaworthy with its guns working. My metaphor is excellent, it is you who is "lousy"; that is crawling with lice. Have a nice life being a jerk, Nate.


All they had to do was sit down with the Dems and hold hearings i bet they could have come up with something. McCain would have joined them.
Try again later guys but don't try to do it on your own.


In sports umpires and referees make mistakes, in the Church thy don't, they are infallible. That is the difference.

It depends on which month he said it. A fair number of campaign claims have been reversed or ignored. (Which is not necessarily a bad thing)


Find a single mistake in their reporting.

Good luck with that.


Or maybe NCR has a surplus of commas they have to use up before the end of the fiscal year. You know how it is with punctuation -- use it or lose it. 😊

Right there with you on The West Wing. I watch it over and over again on Netflix. The only problem is it gets more painful as time goes by when I compare the brilliance of that show to what passes for drama these days.


I'd agree that suburban Denver isn't perfect; but you said that living here is "desperate" and that's ridiculous. Maybe it doesn't fit into what you'd consider a great place to live-maybe you aren't into outdoor activities, maybe you like denser cities where you can walk, etc. However, your personal preferences don't apply to everybody.

Furthermore, I get the feeling that when you say travel, you mean other first world countries because no one would visit a third world country, where a lot of people live in poverty, and call Denver's suburbs "desperate."


Scottie: Now, now lets try and be nice!  You and I are old hands at this, you also know there is always a new game to be played. A few tweaks and Habs will be better  next season. Not the glorious Habs, but they will always be there sport. Lets not get silly, because Buds had a good year. As we both know, that might not be the case in a new season.  Buds have some serious talent, but also have some serious problems, just like the Habs and Oilers.  But a new seasons always brings new outcomes.


The article barely mentions local broadcast TV. With an inexpensive "leaf" antenna with an amplifier, I get 12 channels. I stream Netflix and Amazon. Might consider Hulu if they have a discount deal.
I used to have Dish, but it has the same disadvantages as cable - price hikes, having to pay for a lot of channels you don't want in order to get a few that you do - plus this far north the signal's weak enough to be disrupted by heavy rain or snow falling.
One cool thing Dish does have - a live feed from a camera on one of their satellites, aimed at Earth.


So they withdrew their application when New York financial asked for more information but our officials shrug their shoulders and have no explanation?    What is going on?


What makes you think Sen. Tokuda had any ability to stop this scam?  At the end of the legislative session, she was effectively stripped of any power to make any decisions over her committee.  Effectively, Dela Cruz ran the show with Kouchi's approval.  This kind of shenanigans always occur at the last minute with only a few legislative leaders' knowledge.  This is similar to the conference committee sneaking in provisions like raising the hotel room tax to pay for rail with no public hearing.  Looks like the crooks are back in power and the deal making will be rampant until the voters decide to "clean house" and get rid of all the incumbents.  Corruption now rules the Hawaii State Legislature!   Let them all eat cake!!


Looks like Postmedia is trying to keep the lights on.. Let's hope all sides of the political discussion in Canada can exist.

The National Post represents a side to Canada's political discussion that is just as important as the Globe & Mail.

/.


Yup, totally peaceful. Except for the flaming piece of whatever that was tossed at the police at the 00:12 mark of the video. So what's the protest about? Clean water? We live in AK and have the TAP. How many spills over the last 30 years from TAP? Is this about sovereignty? Why now? Why not when the other pipelines in the area were built? An agenda was picked, a narrative pushed and the reality has nothing to do with the stories being pushed. We see stories about police brutality and militarized police but so far no dead protestors in 7 months of confrontation. Also 7 months and this is allowed to continue which puts the lie to mention of a police state. Just because you want to romanticize, glamorize and empathize with the event does not justify what is going on.


But didn't I read somewhere that they are a "Non Profit" Group?


OK, so you reported the news. Same as last year and the year before that, and so on. Nothing will change, nothing meaningful will be done- just like in the decades past. Nothing to see here... just some dead Native children in some remote location.


Is this a scenario from a real person in Alaska, or did W/W make it up? Sounds like a Cosmo article.


Calling this a "war on first-time home buyers" reminds me of Republican Party tactics - OREA wants to convince first time home buyers to oppose policies that are actually in their own interests that are designed to protect them from getting in over their head into debt particularly given that interest rates are going up.


That's a good idea. Trump's team didn't just meet with any Russians either. These were bankers and politicians well-connected to organized crime. Trump couldn't move fast enough to line up favors for the Kremlin. Wait a few months and you'll see that half his company was financed by laundered Russian money through Deutsche Bank. We have a US President owned by a hostile foreign power. How did we ever sink this low?


They have never been the "party of civil rights," and no historian agrees with you-- anything you're misconstruing as "civil rights" means "social welfare programs," which is not the same thing. "how we got to where we are today" in Baltimore, Detroit, Chicago, etc. are because of that-- sorry, you won't revise history.


Our government will defend the interests of Bombardier, the Canadian aerospace industry and our aerospace workers," Freeland said.

Why is Canada's Minister of Foreign Affairs broadcasting such overt favouritism of Bombardier when Boeing employs over 1,600 Canadians while doing $4 Billion in business in this country ?
