@Catou1403 take a quick peek at your atlas, Manitoba does have tidewater.

Here we go again....garycrum's definition of  "troll" is anyone who disagrees with his thin-skinned, far left narrative.

A recent study out of Oxford shows that Strong Republicans have almost a five and a half point IQ advantage over strong Democrats, and even moderate Republicans have nearly 3 and a half points more IQ than their moderate Democrat counterparts.  A researcher at Yale recently startled himself by discovering Tea Partiers know more about science than the general public, and the New York Times, a former newspaper, nearly choked reporting that Tea Party supporters are more educated overall.

How has he done that? He took $10k to start his software business, and ended up walking away with $10ish million. That's pretty good by any measure.

Yeah, he was a terrible asset manager, as are most.

I'm not a Kevin fan or supporter. But these kind of articles just make me laugh. Mid-income journalist heckles the business success of a guy that's hit a few home runs, and a few strike outs.

If it was a more successful businessman talking trash, I could buy it. But it's not. End of story: Kevin is a self-made multi-millionaire. That's an accomplishment.


A free and self-governing society should be capable of enforcing on its elected leaders the responsibility for maintaining decent public schools
it's not the schools' failure - it's the failure of society to prioritize education over thrills

high schools are awarded by parents for a good football season, not for the SAT scores or the numbers of students who complete AP courses


The SR&ED program along with NRC's IRAP are the best incentive programs in North America.  It was sickening that the previous federal government decreased SR&ED funding so drastically. Most of our government, government funded organizations and so many venture funds completely lack understanding of the creative process, innovation and entrepreneurship. We can compete in any area that Silicon Valley innovates in. Unfortunately financing institutions, Canadian venture capital and our core society are ultra conservative ; we are not a country of people that take risks and people are not willing to work around the clock intensely, sacrificing having a life "balance". Every day I keep finding that too many people are closed minded, don't care about excellence and are simply protective of their jobs.  Thankfully other people I do meet who share a passion for excellence, creativity, innovation and excellence compensate for those who don't.

It is disgusting some of you think this person's violent and destructive actions are justified. Take a moment to think about the employees who were in danger by this. If they were your family or friends, would you say they were asking for it by their choice of employer? This is disgraceful, please think about the victims.


"...make history"! What history was made?
Let's deal with the real issue, the guy is deadly dangerous to EVERYBODY!


There is one basic principle in how to kill a snake. You don't start by chopping off its tail and slowly work your way up the length. You should start with the head and then the job will be done in one chop.

“As an ex-Navy guy, I decided to show him support and let him know that there are real Americans, real patriots here, who support him,” said Edward Odquina.

The real patriots are those who stand up against bigotry, those who believe in the promises of the Constitution.


As a Saskatchewan resident I am appalled at this Federal intrusion. I am fine with these private MRI's since they reduce waiting lists and are essentially allowing private citizens and organizations to voluntarily pay which allows more people in the public system to have procedures done in a more timely manner. This since the law requires these private providers to perform 2 "free" MRIs in the public system for every 1 private procedure. The private MRIs are essentially subsidizing the public system and injecting more cash. Tommy Douglas pioneered the Canadian system we have now which started in Sask by doing something innovative. Brad Wall is trying to do the same but is being "blocked" by the communist Castro lovers in Ottawa. How does Trudeau and Company think we are going to improve the healthcare system in Canada? The feds are not giving more money so let the provinces innovate and if we in Sask don't like it, we can vote Brad Wall out.


So the Bovine Scatology resumes in full foul odious presentation!


Political correctness was designed for people who are unable to think on there own.

If your house is broken into or vandalized, forget that police will ever catch the perpetrator.
Happens all the time.
 Even if caught, sentences are much too light, leaving a bad after taste in the mouth of the victim.

Gang and  violent drug crimes are proliferating because the Police are too scared to intercept.

Just another example of our broken society


It has been mentioned somewhere that Russell Martin threw out a runner trying to steal 2nd.  Congratulations.  At last.  As this was a strike-him-out-throw-him-out double play, and not a straight steal, well, not sure you can actually say Martin gets the credit, but we'll let it slide this time.

See where Bautista came to the plate in the 2nd inning, bases loaded, 1 out, and he drove in a run.  I mean, it was on a weak grounder to 3rd, and he was out @ 1st, but still, this is why that wily old git John Gibbons has him batting lead-off--cuz you want you better hitters coming to the plate more frequently.

Or at least, this is what certain posters have maintained for the past few years, that batting order matters, load up the top of your order with your better hitters, like Bautista.  They get more ABs.

And Bautista, with his .215 or so BA, he definitely deserves to bat high in the order, right?


Depends. If people in the service of their country lost their lives due to Snowden, why wouldn't capital punishment apply?


Just because something is firmly entrenched doesn't make it immortal.

And the campaigns wouldn't focus on battleground states because if the winner of the popular vote received the electoral votes, then there are no battleground states.

Instead, campaigns would focus on their likely voters, regardless of the state they lived in.  Politicians would be forced to campaign for all our votes, not just those in the toss-up states.


I so look forward to when Ukraine is officially known as The Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic again.


I think it's unfair for the Oregon coaches to single out players this way in the media. Why say anything at this point, given how badly the coaches have performed? I mean, the defense was on the field for so many plays against Cal, much of that due to the Ducks defensive line being sub-par and couldn't disrupt Webb, the Cal quarterback, and couldn't stop the run, which wasn't supposed to be Cal's offensive strength. That made the defensive backs' work more difficult.

I can imagine Springs, Umadi, and Schooler were simply worn out, given this season's struggles. No, this loss, again, is on the coaching staff. The inability to adequately recruit talented defensive linemen, like Armstead and Buckner, and linebackers like Alonso, is the reason the Ducks defense is the worst in the nation. If you only have three or four legitimate FBS talent on defense, how can the coaches honestly complain when their scheme and game plan aren't working? Come on! Well, coaching changes are coming.


Our Government is spending billions on Super Hornets and possibly F35 jet fighters, supposedly to "protect" our borders! In the meantime they are developing an "open door" policy in Manitoba and Quebec for refugees and economic migrants. It appears that the millions we spend on our immigration department is no longer necessary since we are about to depend on Manitoba and Quebec borders to supply our population growth! The one fact that is overlooked is that there are currently 60 million refugees and IDP's worldwide and that number if growing daily!


Be careful Coloradocaveman, it seems there are some folks on here who will quit hugging that tree just long enough to smash fellow humans with it lol.


Here are some dietary recommendations:

The U.S. Institute of Medicine (IOM) updated Estimated Average Requirements (EARs) and Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) for molybdenum in 2000. If there is not sufficient information to establish EARs and RDAs, an estimate designated Adequate Intake (AI) is used instead. The current EAR for molybdenum for people ages 19 and up is 34 μg/day. The RDA is 45 μg/day. RDAs are higher than EARs so as to identify amounts that will cover people with higher than average requirements. RDA for pregnancy is 50 μg/day. RDA for lactation is 50 μg/day. For children ages 1–18 years the RDA increases with age from 17 to 43 μg/day. As for safety, the IOM sets Tolerable upper intake levels (ULs) for vitamins and minerals when evidence is sufficient. In the case of molygdenum the UL is 2000 μg/day. Collectively the EARs, RDAs, AIs and ULs are referred to as Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs).[97]


The Denver Post misprinted the headline, it should have read.....I want a Colorado for everybody who thinks just like me.

No Trump isn't TRUTHFUL about everything, Parnell. Quit being brain dead.  Why did he settle his $25 million fraud Trump University case?  Didn't want to be dragged kicking and screaming after faking his oath of office in January.


You have only 13 favorable reactions out of 100.  Maybe it's time for you to start listening to your fellow Americans. Murkowski is right to vote no on a bill that she doesn't know what's in it. The rest of them voting on something they have no idea of the contents doesn't speak well for their independent thinking skills but rather demonstrates a sheep mentality.  Neither Republicans or Democrats are served well by sheep.


If he had this 'mental' problem 'stirring' for over 30 years, it certainly didn't keep him from being a Class II Firearms dealer and thus have possession of the AK-47 he shot the deputy with.

He shot and hit a deputy sheriff responding to his illegal shooting at/near his business partner.

He is by conviction by  a jury of his peers a 'low life who target[ed] that [law enforcement] officer.


In practice you get too many political appointees rather than independent, capable managers.


Oh, please!


Maybe the GOP thinks they can outsource the wall.

Aga Khan is nothing but a charlatan


There are many examples of companies that failed because they made a conscious decision NOT to embrace change...
Blockbuster, whose CEO called online streaming "a very small niche business".
Kodak, who invented the digital camera but held off producing consumer models to boost film sales.
Blackberry, who dragged their feet in producing touch-screen phones despite the iPhone's growing success.
Yahoo, who passed up offers to buy Google and Facebook.
Xerox, who invented the mouse and a Windows-style operating system, but didn't commercialize them.
Meanwhile, most of the largest and fasted growing companies are those that embrace change. Apple changed from making computers to selling music to making phones. Amazon changed from selling books to selling everything to selling cloud services. Google changed from internet search to mobile operating systems to AI services.


Trump is an honourary Jewish President

Goodbye Obama's anti-Israel - not very subtle


Glad she's not my girlfriend....lol


Senate President not wanting to cooperate and release more funds for the investigation.  His wife, Elaine Chao, is in Trump's cabinet.  We need to find out the truth on Russia's meddling.  The Republicans should put our country first.


you will always have civilian casualties when fighting terrorist groups who uses women and children as shields just so the terrorist will get world sympathy about how we are killing their women and children.


probably another sock puppet of one of them.  they always sound alike.


Jesus was also a Jew.


Just what we need on our streets, more entryists and SWPL liberals who think riding in the street and being a public nuisance is a God given right. Bikes are toys folks, and they belong on the sidewalk!


There's a reason for separation of church and state.

Pretty typical, hypocrite. Bark about the Constitution and what "The founders intended".

"The first amendment to the US Constitution states "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"

Let's build a wall and let Texas pay for it.


Cleary, you don't know any actual Muslims. I do, and you couldn't be more wrong.


All I have to say is, your as dumb as a rock! lol


I would argue that those who do get inheritance (at least from people my age that have inherited) have squandered the money in no time and are back as working stiffs.

I would also argue that some of the absolute most hard working persons I have ever encountered in any country are immigrants.  They work hard, save hard, are good kind religious people, help their families, help their neighbors, and are sitting on nest eggs like you can't believe.  And good on them!


Or something to do with entire condo projects sold first overseas in presales, apparently where demand is "unlimited".

A big shout out to the Federal government, both the present day Liberals and past Conservatives, for not placing any restrictions on the sale of our residential real estate overseas.  Unlike many other countries who do have limits.

And an extra big shout out to the BC Liberals, for not lobbying the Feds for restrictions. And of course for their first time buyers plan, which has no doubt just helped escalate price thus making even more homebuyers unable to qualify, despite the loan.

Well done gang.


Fake news or hyped up news as I like to call it has always been around while serving overseas in hot spots like Viet Nam, Iraq etc etc etc I always told family and friends back home don't believe the news you hear as over half of what's reported is not true and it stills hold true even today.


I think the word important does not mean what you think it means lol


Meanwhile, the UN sits by while Russia "annexes" the Crimea and occupies Ukraine. Sure - go ahead and pick on the only democracy in the Middle East - the country where 20% of the population is Arab - Arabs who enjoy the most individual freedom of any in that God foresaken region.


It's simpler than that...just go find the proof, and you'll prove me wrong.  Very easy.

But instead you continue your way.


This post, Sher, explains all your previous postings, usually dripping with bitterness.  I hope someday some people enter your life (note that 50% of marriages do not end in divorce, and you just have to look around you at the grocery store to see many loving families and people enjoying each others' company) who you can cherish.


Instrument siting must adhere to standards. The GHCN and other sources of station data started out as weather stations run by volunteers. They had no agenda. The automated stations have no agenda. Again, those who maintain the temperature records are paid regardless of what the trends are. Read this carefully: There is no "financial incentive to show it's getting warmer". And nothing nefarious happens with the data analysis. The raw and adjusted data from the providers all show warming...actually the global raw data show greater trends than the adjusted.

No, you can't count SH temperature stations on your fingers and toes. As an exercise in reality, look back at the map of stations in the UHIE paper and count the dots in the SH. Now count your fingers and toes. Compare.

In addition to a the thousands of surface stations, we also have MSUs (satellites) with greater spacial coverage, radiosondes, and thousands of ocean buoys and ship measurements. Guess what? All of them show warming.


Yes I did predict that with the Donald the stock market will soon crash.  I still stand by this.  I have liquidated some stock but not all of it.  Soon is a relative term but I suspect the market will take a dive sometime later part of this year or beginning of next year.

As for the Donald being so much better what do you like most about him?

That he is Buddies with Putin?
That he is buiding his wall?
Thathe has locked up sweet Hillary?
That he has fired the person that is doing an investigaton of him?
Just curious have you ever read 1984?  Just curious but who do you the heros were in the book?

I frankly don't see how you can come to the conclusion that the Donald is better than Hillary.


Oh yes - the popular vote, no the Russians, No wait, Comey.....This is getting old.

NOW HEAR THIS - We will never allow 5 population centers to dictate who our President is, that is the law and always will be, the EC will never be abolished.

How about demanding the next Democratic candidate to:

a) avoid federal investigation
b) be in touch with the people that live in this nation
c) quit making excuses


Thanks, 48557 - good point, and said with a grin😄😅


APD needs to focus resources on keeping citizens safe Instead of busting pot clubs and wasting time on marijuana.


Come on Paul, how were the actions treasonous. No attempt to overthrow or sell/trade government secrets to the enemy occurred during Trumps remark.
I have no idea why everyone is so upset over this if those missing emails were so insignificant.


Only in 'Merika do we have for profit prisons. We all know there is no rehab involved. When we freedom ringers who put our trust in god continue to punish humans after they've completed their time with questions on job applications asking if you've ever been convicted of a crime, things will remain the same for the multi billion dollar prison system.

You seriously cannot expect someone to become productive after doing their time while not having the ability to find suitable employment, housing, education, etc., due to a previous conviction. Of course other countries like Canada and Great Britian don't allow this rationalized backwards mentality.

It costs at least 25k to 30k to house a prisoner. Think about that! Imagine giving a convict a check every month for 2000 dollars and telling them, hey, we want to stop paying you so get a job but we will prevent you from getting a job by holding you down but keep trying. And we are jumping up and down about paying for health care. Lol


Author sounds very judgmental. And the husband needs some patience.


Well he didn't castrate a "woman", he castrated a MAN. Women don't have the correct parts to be castrated. Science deniers.... what are you we going to do with you all? Next thing you know the earth will be flat and gravity is a hoax. And castrating a man doesn't turn him into a woman, it turns him into a eunuch. Doesn't anyone watch Game of Thrones around here?

And the word of the Lord came again to Zechariah: "This is what the Lord Almighty said: ‘Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another. Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the foreigner or the poor. Do not plot evil against each other.’
 — Zechariah 7:8-10
The Democratic party favors policies that reduce income inequality whereas Republicans do not since reducing taxes on the wealthy (the most favored policy approach of Republicans), according to the CBO research, is less effective than policies that directly help the poor and unemployed.
"Three-quarters of Democrats favor raising taxes on the wealthy and corporations to expand programs for the poor as the better approach to lessen poverty. Republicans, by about two-to-one (59% to 29%), believe the government could do more to reduce poverty by lowering taxes on the wealthy and corporations in order to encourage more investment and economic growth."

I'd be interested in knowing how many homes were built in the 8 years of the Obama administration, or Bush and Clinton?
The author shows a picture from 2 years ago, he indicates that this has been going on for 50-60 years, and then
blames the Trump administration? Okay, I get it, its very popular to blame Trump for everything wrong in the world,
god knows he's earned(most) of it. But to be fair, these poor people have been getting screwed for a long time.
Andrew, its time to patch the holes in your suit, your liberal bias is showing through.

Instead of kicking a politician who's already down and on his way out, CB should watch for those hands are still in the cookie jar and abusing their positions as we speak. There's nothing new Billy Kenoi was caught doing that wasn't already done by other politicians before. This state has a history of corrupt politicians using their positions for personal gain, just Billy was caught this time. He's not the first nor will he be the last!


The NFL League Office was tax exempt until 2015. That is no longer the case. The billions of dollars made by the individual teams is all taxable income for the corporate entities that own the teams.


Agreed.    Per diem should be by receipts only, up to the monthly max, for starters.   There is absolutely no reason that Juneau and/or Anchorage legislators should receive the same per diem as say, someone from Bethel.    All salaried and hourly state employees (including legies) should have their pay cut 10% before they cut the non-state people's income.   There needs to be an out-of-state travel ban, except for emergencies.   We are in a recession, and protecting state workers comes at the price of job loss and income loss in the private economy.   That should not happen.   Do we want to have private citizens demonstrating and pointing at the state workers and saying, "YOU ARE THE CAUSE OF OUR POVERTY?"


Our prayers are with you NIC,  and your family, God Bless YOU.


First, OFSI's measures are not arbitrary. They are just ensuring those who buy homes are not overextending themselves. This also will apply to HELOCs. Canadians are over their heads in debt, much of this debt is from lines of credit from people using their primary residence as leverage to renovate or speculate. Those who have bought homes as a primary residence to fund their retirement are not the problem. They have not caused this bubble. Yet many of them have used their property gains over the last few years to redo their home interiors, speculate and purchase luxury goods. (I'm not accusing you.) Historically mortgage rates fall around 5~6%. OSFI's measures will brace us for the inevitable end to the cheap money binge around the corner. Yes, some home buyers will be pushed out of the market.........as they should be. Skip the Starbucks, etc., live modestly like mommy and daddy did and come back when you have ponied up enough for a down payment.


Exactly, might even find a lifer to drop a heavy dumbbell on their head.

Wow, the comment board here actually questioned whether my "civil" vote was really civil. "Are you sure" it admonished me, on a big black page. Jeez, is this 1984, or what?


They have to enforce every day! If they had been proactive and hired security and acted sooner it would have been a lot less expensive and the homeless would not have this territorial attitude.  There are beds in shelters and we should not lose our parks and streets to the druggies, mentally ill and drunks.  Get those children in schools.


Not all of the citizens. Just militias, right wing hate groups, trump enthusiasts, etc. a republican in Oregon already suggested employing the Oath Keepers to perform security for RNC events.


You misunderstood my association to the Russian meddling. Both this effort and the Russian meddling investigation are concerned with voter fraud. Plain and simple..so it is under the same umbrella of concern.
Would not a commission to study the vote expose voter suppression, voter fraud, and voter meddling....the only ones who should be against this effort are those who have something to hide...which according to you are the RWM..but they seem to be backing this effort...
Its the more liberal states that seem to be opposed..what are they hiding? ..After all its public records...the same records the big money voter groups use to determine who to call incessantly during the election...i'm not seeing the reason to oppose...it appears to me to be a chicken little scenario


Kinda like how the "baby boomers" funded the "Lost Generation" (my grandparents, who were only asked to pay a  few years into CPP before retirement at age 80, the "Silent Generation", "Greatest Generation" - My Dads generation although he himself paid his own way many times over after surviving 5 years wartime duty in the air force and finally retiring at age 83; and the "silent generation" which would include my Mom. Although she too loved to work, retired at 65 for 2 months and was asked back to work by her boss & finally retired at age 76.  I myself a boomer started working at age 12 (family business) and have willingly afforded my own way. Not sure about the saving habits of my peers or the millennials.


I don't think that is really possible.  It is insulting to worship with people who treat your priests less than their own.  This will get more tiresome over time - not less.  We must change and the laity must unite to make that happen.

Every week as I stand in line at the supermarket I shake my head when I see what is being bought by so many families.  I doubt 1 out of eight of these customers are using food stamps as I can easily watch the cashiers and the customers transactions.  Most of what I notice is fast food items and not individual ingredients. It is more like standing in line at a McDonald's when you see  the microwaveable breakfast and no plain old groceries to make a breakfast.  Stacks of potato-chips and cases of pop  outnumber  other items parents are loading on the belts.

It a great result of the volume of TV ads showing how dad can toss in a pop tart for the kids and be done in 30 seconds with feeding the kids.  In the evening just head some hamburger helper in a few minutes and that satisfies the entire family.

Unfortunately when it comes to the food stamp buyers it is  easy to find items meeting the list of acceptable items in the quick fix ready to eat isles. Besides who teaches kids to cook?

What do I know I don't grow it but year's back I tried


Seems like Shopify wanted a bit of self promotion.  As far as I can tell, the writer agreed with Ms. Wente.  However, the Globe and Mail wouldn't have published a one line response saying, "yes, correct".

The writer concedes that not everyone will code, but that shouldn't treat computers as a black box, and that computer literacy is important.  That's exactly what she said.  The writer's comment about not teaching is also silly, since Ms. Wente has spoke out about silly fads in teaching math too.

The writer basically says he doesn't code daily, but uses the logical thought process to solve complex issues.  How is that skill specific to coding.


You can't just throw money at it irresponsibly. You have to rewire the entire sector.As California and Vermont have shown that single-payer costs as much as the entirety of their current state budgets, it will only work if you do everything Britain (and to a lesser extent the US military) do to make it happen. Big Pharma and health care provider (hospitals and physicians) profits and salaries will have to be heavily regulated, along with tort reform (lawyers), rationing, Charlie Gard death panels et al. And in 50 years the result will be Third-World health outcomes, just like Britain and the VA are experiencing today, as well as loss of all the free-market medical innovations that are the reason our border hospital parking lots are clogged with Canadian license plates. If that's the consensus, then enjoy.


Do you have her bra?  I think she lost it.


As you know your claim about McManus has already been thoroughly debunked. It was a case of NYT cherry picking quotes. Here is the response to this from Jewish JBS leaders: https://www.jbs.org/more-press-room-articles/item/3255-jewish-members-of-the-john-birch-society-clear-record-of-anti-semitism-charge-of-society%E2%80%99s-president-in-the-new-york-times  Funny you mention Zionism. While I consider myself pro-Israel I know many of the most violent opponents of Zionism are actually Orthodox Jews. Will you be insinuating that they are anti-Semitic next? I dare you to try.


I couldn't agree more.
Catholics (regardless of the time they have spent as Catholic) are free to level well-founded criticisms at the pope, whoever he is.  It seems that MSW wants it to be that only American Cradle Catholics can level criticism about the Petrine Office, in the person of the pope, and that only against a more conservative pope or on very specific issues.  Do converts have no conscience to obey, as well?  And if those well-founded criticisms are echoed by many Catholics who have been so from their infancy?  I guess Hizhoner Spadaro already addressed that dilemma.
All that aside, I do appreciate the humility evinced in the final three-or-so paragraphs.


I would welcome the day when 'faith based' hospitals do not exist.  It should be the patient who decides their own care within the limits of our law, not within the limits of the hospital staff's superstitions and beliefs. If you have religious beliefs, let those dictate what you do to your own body when you are ill, not other people's. What if the patient has no access to other hospitals or care?


Then the commission, and all church leaders, must listen!


What's out of bounds is decided by each of us when we rate a post.  And YES, I will be (and already have) said No to the childish names/spellings for POTUS (any POTUS).  I hope others do as well.


Marijuana smoke smells bad and I don't want it near me, my family, or may one who may be irritated by the smoke.

If it helps you for medical reasons, then it will be just as effective or more so by way of an injection.  That way, you are keeping to yourself and not sharing the unwanted smell of pot.

If every "pro-Marijuana" users just admits that's they want to smoke it recreationally and it isn't for pain.  Marijuana should not be legal anywhere in America!


1. Staff analyzing the developer's umbers and finding them bogus.

“To me it’s just bizarre … What business does a Hawaii representative have doing these kind of foreign affairs?” said Gaye Chan, chairwoman of the Department of Art and Art History at the University of Hawaii"
What a ridiculous question, and from a university department chairperson!!
It's refreshing to have legislators actually going to the source for firsthand, up close exposure to what is happening in hot spots around the world, in order to report factual information back to constituents.
As a chairwoman of the Department of Art and Art History at the University of Hawaii, I would hope Ms. Chan would travel the world visiting historical sights and museums, to have personal knowledge of her subject matter.


Allan Ross, i would like you to provide evidence that Goober's comment is "partisan attack"

as for evidence ""Thousands of Somalians and other Africans crossing our borders illegally".

do you want visual evidence - did you not watch it on TV and media - they were not blonde and blue eyed


You chose to be offended. Stop watching.


They had no right to "occupy" the reserve and law enforcement had the duty to remove them.  Thus, they were criminals planning to murder law enforcement officers doing their duty.  This is indefensible.

Get ready for the chaos of the 90's and early 2000's to return to the immigration and refugee system - and important safeguards against phonies, asylum claim "shoppers", and problematic individuals to be dropped.  In short, it means policy where you let softness of the heart spread to the brain.


Unrealistic article that has a condescending edge and a propaganda aroma.


Lol, that's comedy!!  So because government already breaks the law and tramples people's rights we should just accept it and go along with the program .   Delicious Friday humor.


I first heard that phrase reading a book called "Mr. China's Son". Great book for anyone who wants to understand what living under Mao as a minority in China was like.


Tell me, what has the current administration done to help the ACA?


Having just raised their own salaries, the commissioners turn around and pressure regular folks in Lane County for more money, throwing in propaganda for more handouts to their big timber contributors as a side dish.


Instead of bulb-outs, why not try longer walk lights or four-way red-light stops where all lights are red with no turns for all cars and pedestrians can walk across or diagonally.


Typical comment from another DRUGGIE.        CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW  ????????????????????


I would not join a golf club that used race or colour as a criterion for membership. But I continue to self-identify as Roman Catholic. I wonder about me.
I am usually careful to add a qualification but that really doesn't excuse me, does it? We make "evil" so complex when it really begins with such simplicity.


Erin, is that truly all that's being asked?  That they post signs and are then free to ignore whether anyone pays any attention to them?  If that's the case then I might feel differently about this.

Why don't you google that question? After all, even a four year old can do that. And your mental age is at least five.

Personal responsibility continues to be a struggle for Toronto and Ontario politicians.  I don't know the MPP who introduced this legislation, but it has liberal nanny-state-ism written all over it.

"If even one death could be prevented by this bill, then it's a death that should be avoided." - Please, give us a break.  That was the argument for the long gun registry.

Untold billions of wasted tax dollars later and the spreadsheet was never credited for saving one single life.


"We don’t want Canadians to be inherently distrustful of experts, to presume that a person is less ethical because they have a higher or lower net worth, or to believe that those with global outlooks aren’t patriotic. "

Perhaps we don't want Canadians to be inherently distrustful, but skeptical seems reasonable. Experts need to have their credentials verified and their claims should stand up to scrutiny based on objective facts and reasonable argument.

On the other hand, we probably should be inherently distrustful of the wealthy who, in the vast majority of cases, have either inherited their wealth, gained it through shady investments or by appropriating the surplus value from other peoples' labour.

And indeed, those who benefit mostly from global neoliberal capitalism, which leverages the new mobility of capital to exploit labour and avoid taxation, should be made to feel fear.


But will he keep anti-environmental science ideology out of NASA?


Yoh Controller, were you aware that a coal or gas fired "steamer" spends a month in maintenance for every month in service? So much for fossil fuel generation via steam. Nuclear plants used to have a similar ratio, but the USA government mandated them to have a second set of steam handling equipment installed to provide close to continuous operation.

The high ratio of down time for steam processing generators provided Enron and TransAlta with phoney excuses for shutting down plants during peak demand periods. They are supposed to schedule the planned maintenance for off peak hours.

Hey Reyes you should know about being busted.  When you post responses the system tracks the number of times that you post and delete before finally getting it the way you want it.

"Ruben Reyes, Ruben Reyes, Ruben Reyes, Ruben Reyes replied to your comment!"


Glad to see you finally figured out that it was an obvious example of something that gets ATTENTION.  Nothing more, nothing less.  But sometimes it takes a painfully obvious example for people to see clearly.

And now you're just being silly with the "stand up at home" quibble.  That's just stupid, but you know that of course.

So you stand for guests that enter your home (as do I).  That's good, because that's standard societal protocol.  To NOT do so would be disrespectful.  The situation for the national anthem is exactly the same.  Get it now?

As for the wholly unrelated stuff in your last paragraph, I'll bite.  Of course what Trump said about McCain (for instance) was more disrespectful. Duh.  It's also irrelevant to the issue of players disrespectfully taking a knee during the national anthem.  This isn't a "which is more disrespectful" game, it's simply establishing that refusing to stand when present for the national anthem IS disrespectful.


It's called having class, something Frump does not have nor deserve.


The blow out the Canadian right and centre may want to worry about is not in Alberta but in BC. I don't think Alberta elites understand just how much anger there is on the west coast about Alberta's arrogance and willingness to run roughshod over our values and interests. Vancouver is emerging as the most important engine of innovation in Canadian tech and is changing how economies work. Many many people are furious and not just about Kinder Morgan. Stephen Harper's government worked actively against our economic interests for a decade and there is little evidence that the Trudeau government will be any better.


You gotcha a real good edumacation.


Another one impervious to CFL's satire. You've been fragged.

My first response to you was, "you disgust me."  But I thought about it for a bit and realize that I need to feel sorry for you.  I hope you feel better.


You sound confused. You want a free marketplace, but you want state regulation too.

Yes, stopping more often increases total travel time.  The A line doesn't have trolly type trains, is on time around 90% of the time and improving.  But no, I doubt these would be the same Silver V commuter cars as they top out at 79mph.  For this project to be worth it, they would need to be at least 110mph.


I agree!

We all know this is bogus. Who are these families they speak of, women with children without fathers waiting to get into subsidize housing, food benefits, utility benefits, in short the government nanny state.  I would like to know the average age of these women waiting for subsidize housing?  I have a number but I won't say it.  Because you will be shocked.


I am a fervant supporter of the Muslim community.

I guess John Elway would know! Thanks!


A simple change in asset allocation could have been the recommendation to this people. 1.65% MER isn't that bad.. That is basically what the planner has recommended to increase their expected rate of return. Or he's just pulled that 6.5% rate of return out of the air. Though there could be some benefit to moving away from retail to a higher level service provider such as a investment counsellor. There isn't a guarantee that they will get them the 6.5%. Historical returns aren't an indication of future performance.

Don't take the commuted value of the DB plan. You are taxed on close to half the money right away. In addition the investment risk has then been shifted from them to you for no reason. Unless you are expected to have a significantly shortened life expectancy. What if when he did this the market then drops 30%.....


Sounds like the company needs a massive fine given the poor containment they have shown.  This will also show other companies that they need to address such issues too.  And now we need to hope that all the fish die off rather than contributing to establishing reproductive populations.  Great how we have Atlantic Salmon being considered species-at-risk on the Atlantic Coast and need to worry about them being risky species on the Pacific Coast.


It doesn’t matter because she's hot, so who cares?


Again Where does it state that the Government and Tax payers should fund healthcare for those that choose not to have it?  Where does it state in the Constitution and Bill of Rights that gives the Government permission to force us to buy something and be funded by the tax payer, Why not just give us the same healthcare plan the Senators, Congress and the Executive branches get, How much do they pay into Healthcare, oh that's right they get it free...


Hopefully the owner will have a signed rental agreement stating "no illegal activity" and the insurer won't prove negligence because the owner knew about the grow - add to the mix the rental company that owns the generator and that it was likely not being used correctly.

What this most likely indicates is that the increasing moisture from the increasing evaporation cycle caused by the increased melting of the Arctic permafrost (and the attendant methane release) caused by our relentless assault on the atmosphere from our millions of crud-barfing gas gizmos (d-e-e-p breath) -  is pushing the precipitation in the mountains at 7,000 feet ahead a little each year.


A lot of people come to Alaska because there are opportunities for certain types of crime. Most of their activity is in Anchorage and the Mat-su. And Fairbanks. What's needed to deal with these mobile scum s totally different that what is needed for criminals from the Bush. How do we resolve this?


Most people in BC do not know the difference between the BCliberals and the Federal liberals-- even those with Master Degrees! Provincial BCliberals need not worry too much about the outcomes of the approval to upgrade the pipeline. They will win if the NDPers do not get their info. and act together and I am an NDPer! It will kill me to check the BCliberal box in May, but I do approve this upgrade. As for the Feds. Trudeau is in for the long haul---no worries--nothing good enough in opposition anymore after the horrible way we treated Mulcair who was our conscience on the floor all those years.

‘What If’ Time -- Imagine This As Sign of Times:

Or, hundreds of thousands more Refugees with six, eight, ten kids.. many with 'boy children'; building diasporas of Religious Nations..

All New Cdns paid CPP & Societal monies left by redacted 'Euro-Seniors & Elderly’

Canada's 'Seniors' will soon top 23%.. must rattle a PMO where 'self-serving biased' undertow points to 'CdnSeniors &Elderly'.

Political Scion studiously ignores ‘Those Cdns’, referred as Canada’s ‘old white men & woman’by(c) J.Trudeau, G&M Video); glibly making sure evolved Western Civil. & Euro-Historical Intellectual Property are given a ‘Public Relations Boot‘; papered-over with Lib. propaganda of ‘Pot & Legally-Assisted Suicide’

There's a 'forest-fire' in our housing market that is destroying the chance for our young citizens to ever own a residence.

I agree.


I grew up in this neighborhood in the 1970s, and plenty of hot-shot weekend warrior pilots would buzz the area at well below 400 feet AGL. It was a matter of time before someone crashed on the Hillside. It got to be a real problem, with neighbors calling the FAA with tail numbers, and a few brandishing shotguns. Not everyone, not every day, but often enough that it became a topic of neighborhood conversation. It's way to early to know what the cause was of this crash, but my money is on someone getting too sporty with their plane and losing control.


Where do the customers get enough money to buy pot?


no, thats not the supreme courts interpretation of a common weapon, please keep up with the facts. mmmmkkk?


I don't know if one anecdotal tale is evidence that legalization was a mistake. At most, you've described a case of an inconsiderate neighbor. A neighbor who could be asked if he or she could possibly smoke elsewhere.

It is an obnoxious smell, and I smoke outside and occasionally wonder just how much the neighbors can smell, and hope that they'll let me know if it's an issue, so that I can try and find somewhere else to do it, or to try to smoke when they aren't home. I already do this as much as possible, weather permitting.

Something being an inconvenience to someone, however, isn't really reason to make it illegal. I haven't seen any studies indicating that incidental secondhand cannabis smoke is all that hazardous. By the time it's wafting into someone else's house, it's dissipated greatly from the concentrations that the user is inhaling.

98% of those stories are hoaxes perpetrated by crazy social justice warriors. The Website "Moonbattery" has listed EVERY ONE OF THEM under their "Hate Hoax List," so stop lying, DB. Anyway, how many White people have been murdered and raped in the last 20 years by feral blacks? 10,000 times more than blacks having the n-word

It doesn't make sense to threaten domestic food supply. US dairy farmers have many advantages over Canadian dairy farmers. The more Canada relies on imported food the more vulnerable Canada is.

Move the capital to Las Vegas. This isolated, hard to get to backwater really should be in Canada. It's cheaper to get to Vegas than it is to Juneau. In Vegas everything is cheap. And on any given day there are more Alaskans in Vegas than in Juneau. Locating the capital in Juneau ensures that Alaskans who live off the road system have little or no access to the legislature. Is that the objective? I'm starting to suspect it is. What a goofy set-up. Sometimes I think we'd be better off with a king.


What happens when there are not any of the jobs you claim to be available? The fact is that this economy is a service oriented. So the majority of jobs are low paying.

Gotta love it when a criticism of the New International Marketplace is that it does not have an ABC store.

If they ain't selling overpriced booze and Hawaii kitsch, they ain't authentic Hawaiian.


One of the few policies that was clearly Trudeau's idea was the calamitous small business tax reform.  I doubt even Morneau would have gone that far but he has been given marching orders to put a nice bow on this and align it to Trudeau's 'middle class fairness' plan, even though it's a square peg-round hole problem (hurting some of the very people he purports to advocate for).

But yes, otherwise Butts drives the bus.

The game changer though? Positively negatively, he's a thug with a nuclear arsenal.

Not you, but it seems much of the nation has become desensitized about the worse than dramatic consequences of a nuclear war. Oh, "we survivors only need to start cleaning up the rubble the next day," will never again be the reality of a post war people.

With the invention of 'total death,' the world, and how we deal with it, changed forever.


If Siemian Is your best option you have no viable options. If Lynch is physically able to perform, play him. You paid big time to obtain him, let him sink or swim, but at least learn what you do or do not have. This orginazation under Trump-admiring Elway (and I am a long time Elway fan) starts more and more to resemble the Browns. If The Brockster gets a start, or even meaningful time, I'm done with this mess. You offer him more money than he's worth, he walks to take slightly more money from Houston, Houston realizes that he is awful and practically pays Cleveland to take him off their hands, and Cleveland cuts him. Is this not Keystone Cops / Monty Python material? And Our Dear Lord John Elway welcomes him back to Denver. This is an awful joke in search of a punchline. But maybe none is necessary. I'm starting to think that the biggest problem with the Broncos is their defied GM.


I'll ask the question I always do when Tulsi breaks the mold and inevitably gets the "why wasn't she fixing healthcare or something, something, else" treatment.

What did Brian Schatz, Masie Hirono, and Colleen Hanabusa do last week?

Representative Gabbard,
Thank you for introducing some sanity to our national drug policy before it wastes more precious resources, ruins more lives, and erodes our civil liberties further.  You are great American and I am so glad you are in office.


Agreed Mitchell Andrew: (goog) Trump presidency has big implications for Alaska oil development KTOO.
Lisa just a blowin her horn. My comment to KTOO.

Sorry folks but Lisa did not vote for Donold nor support him and in fact called for him to resign. If you want to make headway with oil development you may want to look to the people here in Alaska that worked 7x12/16 per day and confrencing every morning with Trump along with all the other lower 48 Campaign Managers. See Jerry & Margaret Ward of Ward Realty here in Anchorage. This was all about the grass roots not the elitest that think they can cozy up at the end of the line. Look, Jerry had a 1/2 hr meeting with President Trump when he was in WA. I dont beleive Lisa has ever met the man. Remember what this is all about- #draintheswamp. The Trump Train left the station and her and Dan Sullivan stupidly threw their tickets away. Are Lisa & Dan going to be first to have his ear about Alaska. Id say no.
Sarah/Todd are in NY transition


After saying the door is shut, the Pope says that women have the capacity to be priests (September 28, 2015 NCR article).  Despite the headlines on or about November 1, 2016 (NCR), the Pope says aboard the plane from Sweden that the teaching "remains." That could mean "endures;" however it could mean, "it is the status quo." At this point one might assume he means, "it is a done deal." However -- then he says,"it goes in that direction." So not a done deal, but instead, a process that has a direction. This is an enormous step forward to define the teaching not as a done deal, but as a process, perhaps a process of discernment.  His affirming the Magdalene as apostle also has interesting implications.  If real Christians 'don't put up walls,' as he has said, then he should begin dialoging with the organization of Roman Catholic women priests, just as he is willing to dialog with the Lutheran Church.


Chad Blair  .. well since Kirk has so many media guys and PR might as well put them to work today..  HERE YOU GO BIG LEAK OF THE DAY !  IF I AM WRONG I WONT POST FOR TWO DAYs

1 week ago KIRK Caldwell and his fire fighter union buddy's decided to hold signs with Kirk OCTOBER 24th. After holding signs they decided have a big drinking party at union hall
With Kirk Caldwell drinking with them!

Drinking got out of hand and nobody cared enough to stop one of the Union heads and fire fighters from driving .. not only could he endanger the public but also hurt himself and Kirk and the rest of the fir fighters could not care enough to stop him.. Yes it was kirks sign waving event and party with fire fighters.. Now their asking Kirk to bail him out .. Is this the type of mayor we want ? Keala come out and deny it and we will submit photos .. Event was on oct 24, 2016. Was arrested that night at 1pm on the 25th!  Get to work kirks PR team.. public safety Kirk?

Obama's approval rating is a lot better than your hero, George W, was at this point in his second term.


I assume that by your comment you mean to say that you either share or approve of Donald Trump's penchant for making contact with his daughter's hips, his professions of attraction of a sexual nature for his progeny ?

320 million already here. Third most populous country behind China and India. How many do you want here and what is that going to do for our opportunities and quality of life.
Tens of millions of Americans not working by choice or circumstance. Huge welfare state offered to immigrants by democrats in exchange for votes.
I really don't see the up-side of a faster immigration path. But then, I must be a hater.

"All over the internet in comment sections, articles, blogs etc, people are voicing their concerns about Islam. "

Which is exactly the point of M103.  Islamaphobia like yours is all over the internet (as is misogyny and anti-Semitism, etc.) and inspires the terrorists who murder innocent people in a Mosque.  Your hatred is also a great recruiting tool for the Daesh.

How again are the native corps struggling? They rake in 10s of millions a year if not more through public, state, and federal contracts.


Wishful thinking. The constitution needs strengthening by making the electoral system individual rather than party centered, and to significantly curtail the executive, particularly the president,  to hire and fire, as well as create portfolios and ministries on a whim.

We are currently a dictatorship run by a thief, and our so-called Parliament is powerless because no individual can be called to account for their malfeasance because they are not an individual but a mere cog.

Currently only the judiciary are individually responsible for their pronouncements being in line with the law.


Your story is my story! I learned to play drums because I don't have to find the right note!


Its the only way if you forget the way it used to be done prior to 1974. Before then Canada had the money to build the Trans Canada, the Welland canal, fund health care... it goes on.. untiul the Bank of International settlements, the Central bankers bank decided that that wasnt to proper way to do things and we had to turn to the commercial banks/foreigners and we've been in hock ever since.

I wish Ms. Barrett the best in Calgary.  I read her article the other day and can understand entirely why she left Vancouver.  The decision to be with her boyfriend and have a life in Calgary is a much better choice than staying single in Vancouver.

There's a TV show on Netflix called Ozark about a man who has to find a whole bunch of creative and complicated ways to launder money.  It's been renewed for a second season.

The Canadian version of Ozark, which would be called "Vancouver", would consist of one episode that lasts 5 minutes.  To launder money in Vancouver, all a person has to do is buy a few mansions and declare that their occupation is "housewife" or "student".


Maybe you might consider the possibility that we Trump-voters wanted nothing more than a good Supreme Court Justice, and to stop further Democrat-caused damage to our country.  Anything else positive that Trump might accomplish would be 'icing on the cake' (which I'm still waiting for).

You have to admit, Trump isn't actually getting anything accomplished, mainly due to opposition within his own party - which I am totally fine with.  Gridlock is better than more regressivism, I mean progressivism.


Zepher- I've worked 45 years IN Alaska building Alaska in a real hands on way. I'm retired now and have mine. Let me ask this. Who should the resources of Alaska belong too? GOP talking points only fool the weak minded. I don't think much of Democrats either but to stay on point this is a perfect example that Trickle down economics does not work.


It been years since the Clinton's were in the White House as President and First Lady.  They didn't stop working during that time. They've had plenty of time to make money and invest it. As for the Obamas: well, I heard they made a multibook deal for which they'll be paid in the area of 26 million.  That's money made after leaving the White House after a long, hard job well done.


Yet another unthinking, cruel human overreach in rule making, very sad.  Blessings to you Deacon  Weigel, your response is perfect.  We would all do well to emulate your steadfast character.

Yeah U of Nike and Uncle Phil do not care about education...that is why last year they pledged $500 million to build a new "science complex" on campus as well as, to quote from one of many articles, "The Knight name is already on the UO law school and library.  Several endowed professorships in various disciplines also bear the family name."

Oh and since you obviously do not read articles which contradict your beliefs...EVERY UO athletic program is at least 21 points above the minimum requirement for postseason participation including 4 with "perfect" scores! The criteria?  Eligibility, retention and graduation of student-athletes!!

"By denying god, they thi...."

As soon as evidence shows up that suggests the gods exist, atheists will stop "denying" that the gods exist. It's been at least one million years since humans started believing the gods exist---- just how much longer must we wait for evidence showing the gods exist?


Mostly the spread of infectious diseases has nothing to do with immigration. Way to try to inject some baseless xenophobia and racism into the conversation where it doesn't  belong.


You know something (anything?) about what facts the judge considered?  You actually have some evidence, of any kind, that the Colonel thought about President Obama?

That is actually what you are suggesting?


Pay back the $2M you slimed from the Canadian public.


The Donald was fined several $ Million for money laundering. He is now under investigation for several white collar crimes like bank fraud and a RICO charge. His partner in these ventures is connected to corrupt Russian oligarchs and a convicted felon. Do not forget that as to Hillary, one reason Trump gave for firing Hillary was that Comey spread derogatory information on Hillary after the FBI and DOJ elected not to indict her.


Thank you for the link. My point exactly. Do your own research.
I'm sorry that this prompted a nasty back and forth response from both sides. It's the pre-election all over again.
Harry is entitled to his belief, although I always find it a bit hard to agree with men who believe that since they are never in the same position as women who make that choice.
but I do think it's amazing that pro-Trump voters can ignore all of the hurtful things that he and his group have said throughout, and are still saying them. certainly not christian or inclusive or constructive.


Palani is so correct.  The Mayor has done a worse job than we thought.  He needs to deliver city services in a more effective and efficient way.  Time to hire on the mainland, in Asia and in Europe?  We could far better workers for far less money.


Ok, I can now assume you just made it up for low wattage shock value.


Agree.


You're a poor guesser.

Virtually every single election season in NE Calgary, federal or provincial is dogged by stories of inappropriately "packed" nomination meetings or similar hijinks.

Start with Deepak Obrhai, erstwhile Conservative leadership candidate, and simply work your way through the stories of past and present nominees, from all parties, in that quadrant of Calgary.


What Stephanie fails to realize is that once censorship machine is built, it will be quickly turned around everyone. We must tolerate far-right speech because the danger of unleashing censorship on everyone is much greater.


Freeheels, and Brills, what real name these folks live annonymously while being 18th century. First off Jack of trades is the senator is an American African, not an African American. For us constitutional idiots in the world, streets run two ways. The problem you have a white reporter, slim of the earth, Trump even hates them more than all the others on his list. Reporting the American victim s crime, I was assaulted by A minority, that is old as slavery, no. #1 in my America. Cops and you are quick to beieve Blacks folks kidnap, or do whatever the white host alleged, pure American horse manuer, won't see a white reporter aledge that of  trump or any white guys. Not a contest, equals out, so they throw those out. But mighty funny the agitator (reporter) is poking a senator, A minority is right. The last American African senator, that let aguy get really close and pray with him and others membrs at church was killed.  Dillion roof after prayer executed nine God loving, fearing folks.


Anyone walking the streets downtown at 4:30 am carrying a gun, unless in APD uniform is absolutely looking to do harm one way or another.  At work, we see these officers every single day come into our cleaners and we see the type of people they have to deal with regularly.  I'm sure it's not an easy job to do and our police officers are human beings also that feel fear and panic just like everyone else.  I pray for a full recovery for the injured officer and want him and all of APD to know that I appreciate them and the possible and unfortunate sacrifices that they make to ensure our safety.  And for the lost souls walking around downtown up to no good, I wish you would think twice before making such horrible decisions.  But I will pray for you too.


Trumps presidency is looking alot like Obamacare...  Everyone wants to repeal and replace it, many would be happy to just repeal it, but in the end, the republicans are going to let it implode and then bam... the Dems will make a deal!


[you should stop whining about socialism then. Because in a true socialist state the rich in this state would be paying tons more tax.]

I am not so concerned about socialism as I am about socialists, such as yourself, who appear to want to institute such socialists policies.


Scott, this agrees with you: http://www.thepriceofliberty.org/06/02/06/greenslade.htm — I recommend you read the whole article.

QUOTE: "There are two other methods for the federal government to acquire legislative jurisdiction over land within a State. It should be noted that neither of these are found in the Constitution. They are judicially created methods. The first is for the States to pass a general cession statute. ... The second method is for the federal government to reserve jurisdiction at the time statehood is granted to a territory. This does not involve a transfer of legislative jurisdiction because the State never had jurisdiction over the land in the first place. This is how the federal government gained control over so much property in the western United States."

With that in mind, ponder the information in the following link: http://www.backcountrychronicles.com/public-hunting-land/

The chart at that link should make every thinking Oregonian weep, and then get angry!


Enforcement here needs to be proactive, not reactive. 24/7 enforcement, 24/7 presence until the scum leave. Clean up the graffiti, bring in the pressure washers before the vermin drop their pants, not after. Why is the City abdicating its responsibilities here?


... burned the place to the ground."
Not prescient.  They were commenting on an actual occurrence.


"SO people need to get more healthy and stay safe,"
I agree with you on this point but it is also why I am opposed to single payer. Liberals love to tell everyone how to live their lives and what people should or shouldn't do. Once the central government gets control of our health insurance and healthcare there will be nothing to stop they drive for social engineering. In fact gun ownership could very well become a safety issue and like the seat belt law was implemented to save lives and save health care cost restricting gun ownership would save live lives and healthcare cost.


Eric Bjerregaard, The article uses the word "pesticides" six times.  You yourself refer to the chemicals as "pesticides" twice in your comments.  CB readers can see that.  You are contradicting yourself.  You are the one who doesn't understand what you have written.  Let the readers decide.

YA RIGHT.


"(Several lawyers in Hamilton have said they are concerned of drawing the ire of judges in the city if they make negative comments about Justice Zabel.)"
This is the real worry. We are all in trouble when lawyers, or other officers of the court, have to be scared of being critical of a judge, or merely of being truthful in their opinions.


agree..the rich, the NRA and israel own Trump and his sleazy family. Why would Trump undermine an agreement with Iran that is good for the world and when his own generals say it is working?  Yup..Israel won't permit it.  Only Iran has the power to contain Israel.  Check the facts hon.


These two contribute to why the Middle East is a hell hole of war and carnage: they avert their eyes .


It would if he is mentally unstable. Once he is in, it would be difficult to remove him


Are you suggesting that Trump is so mentally feeble that a supposed (unproven) reference by Clinton in 2008 is enough to send him off on a five-year public crusade to lie about and delegitimize the nation's first black president?

I think you're right, and it also can explain Trump's other odious views. A sort of unified field theory explaining the poor man's delusions.

Good job, Dogs.


A solid anchor and one of the biggest egos Canada's ever produced.


You know you could read the article to find out,  right?


Not sure if you watch Samantha Bee on TBS, but she did a piece on how the modern republican party morphed into its current form and is now reaping what it sowed. Definitely worth checking out given your recommendation of Nixonland, which I am now going to read. Thanks!


Putin is a communist and not a fascist.  But you are correct in that there is very little difference in communism and fascism; both want absolute state power and no individual liberty or freedom.

Interesting that the Communist Party of the USA political platform so resembles that of the Democratic Party that the CPUSA declines to run its own candidate and always supports the Democratic one.


Water, at least in Canada, is abundant, doesn't require packaging, and is recycled at the water treatment plant.


Dyslexic as usual Boots. Republican states have also legalized marijuana. Not sure why you're complaining like all those confused protesters.


Victor Carlson was a terrible Judge, that's the main reason he is no longer serving on the bench!! He was the most overturned Superior court judge of his time, as well as numerous questionable episodes in his personal life. Let's not loose track of the "REAL" reason he was forced from the judicial system.


On the one hand, I guess it's a small miracle he got any jail time at all.  On the other, this does not even come close to justice.  He'll be out just in time to start his next fall term, no big deal.  I would like to hear the judge's explanation behind such a light sentence for a depraved act like this.


Maybe your definition of Hail Mary is different from mine.  Those were thread the needle passes, not jump shots!  Even Cris C went a bit ape over one of them.  I can't remember who was in coverage, but the truth is, Marcus Peters is getting burned this season.


Thank you ADN for this morning gift of seeing McConnell with some well masticated black feathers sticking out of his mouth.


I found it very interesting that Mbalula had Phahlene sitting next to him at the press briefing yesterday. Phahlane himself with huge corrupt question marks hanging over his head.


Charles Wohlforth wrote, "In a town with a scratch-paper approach to history, the cemetery is a document of our attitudes and hopes."
I'm glad to see you highlight the cemetery - I enjoy the annual tour.  BUT, your cute turn of phrase is NOT TRUE.  You of all people should know better!  Folks in Anchorage, and most of Alaska take history very seriously.  UAA Archives and Special Collections <https://archives.consortiumlibrary.org/>  holds many collections given (gifted) by members of the Anchorage community.   The Anchorage Museum Archive also holds collections donated by locals <https://www.anchoragemuseum.org/collections/archives/>.

"Many Americans have expressed longing for things to go back to normal ..."

In Virginia, 70 angry, frustrated slaves rebelled, killing close to 60 white men, women and children before being routed by thousands of militiamen.  Many innocent slaves were slaughtered in retribution. The year: 1831.

Hundreds rioted in Buffalo NY and in Manhattan for four days, destroying and burning buildings. About 120 people died.  Many were Irish, angry that blacks might take their jobs.  Many others were angered at the new enlistment laws.  The year was 1863.

In  1919, just months before the Presidential Election of 1920.  Violent race confrontations occurred in 23 cities (notably Chicago, and Washington DC .) Over 300 died.  It must have  been "normal"--race violence played no part of the Presidential campaign.

1925: 40,000 KKK members march in DC.

1970s: thousands protest Vietnam War.

2003: anti-Iraq war demonstrations in 150 US cities, over 100,000 protest in NY City.

Normalcy, USA style


The DA silencing of HZ is a slap in the face of all us white products of colonial forefathers. The lack of discourse on important matters of 'imposed guilt' continues to leave us out in the cold in the drive to appease potential Black members to the DA.

The elephant has by no means left the room - just told to shut up and this likely leaves many whites without a clear non-partisan party to follow


I guess I would agree with you so far as the government is not of the people.
That our government is of, by, & for the government.


Of course you have to repack something to ship it back. That isn't a requirement peculiar to Amazon.  And there are numerous Amazon locker locations in the Metro area that will take your return. You don't have to take it to UPS


Lets try applying some common sense instead of pushing incoherent nonsense.  President Trump has not said anything negative about the efforts to forward cooperation or science.  Lets all agree to cooperate with one another to address our common problems without promoting "feel good" programs and then walking away, especially when they fail.  Lets, above all, quit in the divisive efforts to play one against the other based upon demographic or political categories as has been done over the last eight years.


Marvelous.  Thank you for these additions.


Good


I was going to reply but I'll let this one lie. I will say this though. Anything can be second guessed.


The author of the article writes: "Out of thousands of sightings of black bears in Canada and the U.S. every year, on average there is only one black bear-caused fatality every few years."  Actually, there were 5 fatal attacks in north America in 2014, five more in 2015, and one in 2016.  Non-fatal attacks resulting in human injury during those years numbered 23, 40, and 35.


One of the attached articles states that there is no connection between the privatisation of electricity and rising prices. And yet it also says that the private sector was engaged to build and provide the current generation of electricity and was responsible for possible cost overruns and in return was given expensive 20 year contracts to produce the power. So it seems that it was acknow;ledged that there would be cost overruns(inefficiency) and the companies were rewarded for that by too generous long term contracts. Bottom line; get the private sector out of publicly necessary services. Read David Cay Johnston's book "The fine print" to see how you are likely getting screwed by power companies.


Another news outlet reported that after 24 hours or so the husband was able to hike to a location that had cell service and made the call.


In this case, it looks like its base was 71% of the population.

both of those crucial democratic elements cannot  be underestimated


Can we really blame Europeans for not wanting to live in an Islamic society?


Bankruptcy is coming.


The eagerness of Da Skier to shoot someone's property over whatever they perceive to be an invasion of privacy is damn-near mind boggling.

To the assemblyman's remark about a drone buzzing 20 feet away, I'd be surprised if it was truly that close. Anyone that has operated a drone knows that anything bigger than a Tiny Whoop sounds more like a weed whacker than a distant buzzing at 20 feet.

Ultimately, the idea of legislating a problem that doesn't exist is absurd. We have peeping tom laws and private property laws. If there's a problem, deal with it under existing statutes.


Just remember the upcoming Homer recall election where 3 outcast council members want to fill the town with these terrorists.  No sanctuary city.  Recall YES!


Hi Everyone,
I would encourage everyone to watch the video of the debate to see what I actually said about the PAEC.  I said we have now raised $24 million for the project with $8 million to go and that naming rights would "bring that number down."  I did not claim that naming rights would fill that entire gap.  I believe it's important that the people of our community get the correct information.  Thank you.  Jim


It is time. America.

It is time for racist America to accept responsibility and be held accountable for creating a despicable racist monster as Donald Trump. The key to Trump’s rise to power is America’s pride of its slave days and the wanton killing of Native Americans of the American West.

What we see and experience today is part of that legacy.

There is no other explanation. That legacy is here in Anchorage with the wanton killings of Native people  on our streets, run down like animals and left to die. It is in our cities by rogue hate cops killing black and brown people at will.

Donald Trump, with all of his hate and bigotry, from his “hate Obama is not an American birther” days to his kick all 11-million Hispanics out, is your creation. I can only conclude that might include some of my Hispanic family.

And the white media? They all smile and laugh about Trump like high-school kids watching a school-yard bully.


There is a flag to the left of the smiley.


Cabinet changes for political rather than governance reasons will affect provinces ito inter-level communication. But provinces have their mandates until the next election and budgets for the year so I'll wager that impact is minimal. More important is the long-term, systemic failure of the public sector to deliver services.
Reviewing six themes - ethics, resource optimisation, etc - David Fourie and Wayne Poggenpoel (2017) say 'findings resurfaced, on average, 6.17 years in a nine-year period. Key challenges have less than a 50% chance of being resolved, if at all. These recurrences imply overall the public sector struggles to address functional and process issues that affect efficient and effective delivery of services.'
Public sector workers are the new elite. From cleaner to CEO, politician and cadre they're paid 30-40% more than they're worth without a concomitant sense of duty, accountability and efficiency. And it's happening in the WC and CoCT too, so don't be complacent.


Meanwhile, in other news, the G&M has discovered that the pope is a catholic.


Trump did get more fat women out walking in one day, than Michelle Obama could in 8 years...Just saying...


Come 2018, I predict another Liberal majority for the simple fact that there are way too many people employed or otherwise dependent on the Liberals for their livelihood.

It's utterly apparent that Ontario is heading the wrong direction but with so many people making their livelihood from government I don't see any chance this will change.

If this is what it means to be progressive, I'll pass.


Actually communism is good for something.

I think of all the great people from places like Czechoslovakia, Poland, Hungary, east Germany, Russia, Ukraine etc., that have contributed greatly to Canada and the west because they escaped communism.

Perhaps you could provide us with the list of people who have "escaped" capitalism to set up wonderful new lives in say North Korea, or Cuba?


He didn't justify it for pecuniary advantage.  He justified for economic survival in the US.


You're not (not "your") the arbiter of what's polite. You're not (not "your" again) special for using your (not "you're") real name nor for being a season-ticket holder. You're (seeing a pattern yet?) just a guy who thinks too much of himself.
Also, Ems (not EMS) is short for Emeralds, who've been drawing fans of all kinds for all kinds of reasons for decades. My kids liked the ice cream served in batting helmets the best. The Bebans did a great job back in the day.
Bethel Park? Heard of it but wasn't around here back then. Still doesn't make me any less qualified to comment than you. Try getting used to that.


95% (or is it higher than that now?) of scientists from around the world agree that 1) the global climate is changing (and not for the better for humankind) and 2) humans are contributing significantly to that change. I'll go with the conclusions of such highly experienced and educated scientists over politically driven stooges and beer-guzzling Deplorables sitting in their chairs listening to Rush.

I do fault scientists and world leaders for doing a poor job of educating the global public, especially in the US, about climate change. Our planet is surrounded by a closed and finite atmosphere. Since the start of the industrial revolution, human industries and activities have poured millions of tons of greenhouse gases into that enclosed space. Humans continue to do so. Scientists, give us the math. There's XXX space in our atmosphere. Humans add YYY amount of greenhouse gases each year to this enclosed space. Those gases increase the Earth's temperature. It's pure math/science.


Day dreaming liberals raised on Disney channel are the real danger. You can't appease an aggressor. You call their bluff or you vanish in history.


Not shaming. Am very sad that this happened.


If 'flooded' is truly the accurate description than we might have to multiply the 'way' 😬   I only hope that might have been an exaggeration.


AK Hunter, if you don't believe BHA and Richards are political activists, simply google "Back Country Hunters and Anglers Green"  About half of the first page are articles similar to the sentiments stated here.  Or just go to the BHA page and read their purpose http://www.backcountryhunters.org/index.php/our-work-our-values/our-purpose-and-objectives.  If you don't think Richards personifies this, go ahead and read through his and AK-BHA comments to the board of game over the last decade, they are public on ADF&G website.  Most are anti-predator control and anti motorized access.  Those have been his issues.  He is no friend of the average Alaskan Hunter.


So open-minded and tolerant, so willing to listen, today's youth:

There would be protests if Jesus Himself were invited to speak at ND.


Mr. Wittshirk, a true patriot, as opposed to those waving flags, singing anthems, and pledging allegiance at every opportunity.  The idolatry of veterans as a special class only began with the privatization of the entire military.  No more draft, only "volunteers".  Veterans status is used to further politicize all discourse as any who disagree with phony anthems or pledges are declared as enemies of the veterans.  Veterans status has become an industry joined with the Military Industrial Complex to keep the wars going forever.  The majority of veterans ever serving have never been in combat or harm's way at all.  Those paying the ultimate sacrifice are used as one more excuse to further blind obedience to capitalist agenda.  Today's veterans have little in common with those of the past except they are more likely to be used for foreign economic adventures far removed from any protection of the U.S. nation.  The most irritating phrase to hear is: Thank you for your service.


It's not a matter of making nice with Trump.
The problem is that you can not trust anything he says.  How do you negotiate with someone who is just as likely to turn around the next day, deny he said anything that he said in the record, and accuse you of being dishonest and terrible?
Dealing with the American government for the next four years is going to require a whole different skill set from traditional diplomacy.  It will be essential to not rely on the Americans to do anything that they say they will, because Trump has the ultimate deciding power and demonstrably disavows any of his surrogates when the mood is upon him. It will also be essential to assume that they will manifest the worst possible behavior.
That way we're not disappointed and not hung out to dry.


Start by firing Doug Saunders, the  G & M "journalist" who tweeted comparing Trump's inauguration to 9/11.

The  G & M started going downhill when the ranks became infested with SJWs and logic-starved regressive leftists.


Many do not know Kesey was a gasser, getting his laughs by unnatural chemical means, but eventually will find out with only the slightest of effort. Perhaps it worked well for him, but we know of so many for whom the drug life did not work out so well. As we idolize him by naming the central square of the city in his honor, is it not also appropriate to let our youth explicitly know the dangers that accompany drug use? Or will we let them think that Kesey’s example is typical and let them find out the truth the hard way? The result is on the heads of the city council, you, and all who so unwisely agree with this decision. You should wonder about it each time you read of another overdose, drug related theft, or arrest due to drugs in our community. But you won’t, because it is just one of so many bad choices we have made as a society that have made ours the most drug addled in history.


Yes, you are correct, but quite incomplete. The French surely helped, but only after decisive American victories. France was already more than broke in 1763 after after England blew them away in the French - Indian war and won Canada a few years before that. If it was not for those early American victories, a very popular, savvy Benjamin Franklin and the French so vengeful of the British, we would not have had French help. To me there was a whole lot more than French aid that factored in to victory.
I am a patriot and I was taught this and more in school. You ?
Bailed us out ? To think that is short of the truth.


"yous kids stay here while I go willingly disfigure myself" is not the same condition  of long-ago park play. I spent a lot of time in parks as a boy. I don't remember piles of crap and toilet tissue, passed-out sub-humans, or openly copulating wretches.
I do remember tattoos on sailors and convicts.
But mostly, I remember the assumption of mothers being at least somewhat competent and caring. I guess there are mothers and fathers, and there are breeders


You don't know that, and taking the word of media-with-an-agenda isn't too bright.  If I was confronted with a citizen "waving a gun and sidestepping like a crab", I'd run too.  The CCW Cowboys MAY have saved lives -- but perhaps we'll never know.


You are right, Jim, mostly  young white men.  As Rampell notes, Millennials.  There they were, marching in a long torchlight parade through the U Virginia campus.  Remind you of something scary from history?  It should.
History has  shown that the young, politically, tend to be more radical, more open to extremes, than older voters; more emotional and idealistic but in a black and white sense.
They also tend to be more liberal, as we saw in the tumultuous 60's.
But what about situations where the young, including students, were more conservative than their elders?  It's uncommon, but a stark example was Nazi Germany.  Those torchlight parades often included book burnings as well as attacks on Jews and liberal professors.
Looking at the makeup of the German Reichstag  in 1933 we see the majority  of the Nazi deputies were under 40, while the majority of the Socialists were over 50.
Now look at the  age of the leadership of today's Democratic party....


The Trump election shows that Americans were tired of being talked down to, tired of losing jobs, tired of city swingers and the liberal elite making fun of them because they believe in God and like to go to Church.  Gerrymandering occurs, but it occurs for both parties.  Not everything is racism.


Show me any valid studies that repudiate Global Warming and I will change sides. The problem is, they are zero published solid scientific studies or papers printed in reputable scientific journals that support the Deny club; a big fat Zero. All you have are a few crackpots, self-proclaiming scientists, seeking attention at all cost for all the wrong reasons.


"WASHINGTON ― President-elect Donald Trump is leaning toward naming as secretary of state John Bolton, a bellicose enemy of Russia and Iran who is among the most hawkish members of the Republican foreign policy community, according to two sources familiar with Trump’s thinking...“While Mr. Obama sleepwalks, Mr. Putin is ardently pursuing Russia’s Middle East objectives,” Bolton wrote in a 2013 op ed that argued against assuming the U.S. has common interests with Russia in Syria.

In 2014, speculating that Russia was responsible for the downing of a Malaysian plane over Ukraine, Bolton told Fox News, “I think we’ve got to begin to treat Russia like the adversary that Putin is currently demonstrating it to be.”

Goodness is not the criteria for being able to illegally enter or stay in our country.  The world is full of "good" people who want to immigrate here for the opportunities and freedom America affords.  Some get in line for that chance and others break the rules and ignore the line completely.  We do a disservice to those waiting in line, honoring our country and its laws by giving border jumpers a pass regardless of how long they have stayed here.

We have long been totally liberal and compassionate in our immigration policies, allowing millions into our country.  Deportation must be the consequence if we are to remain a nation of laws.


Homeschooled, I assume?


Trump attracts the children of George Wallace's voters: White, male, low paid and poorly educated.


the usual research connected to CFL football that relies on too much State Farm attitude.  for now lets say we know the difference and too many great men have become great men in their own countries but understand good football players and good football.  None have ever considered their players wash ups,  no good football or gasping at the orgasmic play of NFL,  big school NCAA,  or texas school boys/ the CFL has been guilty of allowing nonsense people to offer clown rodeo marketing which is on it's way out of here.


They just signed a similar deal in Alberta as well. I honestly can't see where we're going with all this, other than to create another massive windfall for Canada's legal community. Perhaps if the Supreme Court is going to be writing our laws for us they'd take a moment to explain what the social deal is going to be in this country. 37 million people need to know.


And what truths did you learn in Trumps 16-minute inaugural speech?


And why was that?


Tried the ribs and shrimp once and it was good, really good, but too far for most.  Hope they open another location closer to town.


Day one and Brick Pussweiler is making noise about being the starter.  Drama queen, bringing the team attitude with him, like when he pouted about Manning (GOAT) taking his spot.  Probably blowing doobies with Plummer all summer.  His summer workout really helped him in Cleveland.  Good God, do we really have to watch this drama queen?


Eventually he may be right, even a broken clock will have the correct time at least once or twice a day.  No once really knows when the next housing reset will occur if ever.
