The complacent and pablum-press in the USofA have no difficulty using the term "alt-rt" After all, America is far too sophisticated a nation to have one of its own called a fascist - especially if that person or persons have earned the "respectability" and deification that celebrity bestows. Other gentle euphemisms they delight in deploying is "he walked it back" which is code for he lied or reversed himself, or "he fudged the facts," a euphemism for "he can't distinguish between fact and fiction. Have you noticed that many in the media had the courage to vilify the narcissism and sociopatholgy of the President-elect, but now "out of respect for the office", Trump has become the new normal as the swamp gets deeper and Animal Farm slips gently into the non-fiction section of public libraries - assuming there are any left !


dumber than a 5th grader ...check my poll


He's done?

lol, yes people like to criticize and that is why the Donald was elected.  He did nothing but criticize Obama, Hillary all the other republicans who ran.  So now that he is president, we are not supposed to criticize him?  Fact of the matter is that the Donald has offered nothing of substance.  He even chickened out of releasing his tax returns.  What a bum!


We've kneeled to many over the last 50 yrs, Ho Chi Min, the terrorist in Mogadishu, the terrorist at Kobar Towers and now the terrorist in N Korea. I know we talk tough but has anything slowed them down.\? Also the terrorist in Iran, again tough talk. Do any of them act afraid. Tell me when is the last time we won.
 You are an academic who taught in the lower third of universities. Basically you were the guy the community colleges didn't want because you couldn't think for your self.
  It's like my daddy used to say, if you want to build houses be great at it, if you want to dig ditches just work your a$$ off. But if you want to be worthless, go to some 3rd rate institution and teach, but make sure you get tenure so they can't fire you


Hmmm, I wonder what she will do now?  She's been coddled by the Democrat party with jobs in liberal non-profits and politics her whole career.  Think she'll get a real job?


So what do you suggest - we freeze our population?

Not sure that's even possible


If John really thinks Melanda really wrote that speech , he didn't go to any university.


Thank You, Rep. Seaton.  Finally the adults in the room have presented a plan.  A real starting point for solving the mess caused by the do nothings you have to work with.  Everybody has to have skin in the game, otherwise they have no standing to complain.  Next let's throw out BS21, and only allow tax credits to be applied when taxes are actually paid.


You took this course in university. It is too bad you didn't learn how to proofread the difference between then and than, probably something you should have learned in public school or when you learned English.

"This states simply if a rich, successful fund manager says a stock will go up than it’s basically a guarantee."

Our responsibility in the courtroom is to seek truth beyond a reasonable doubt, but the article is not about criminal trials.

Our responsibility in society is to listen to people when they allege to have been harmed and to believe, at the very least, that something happened that left them feeling violated.  That's not the same thing as assuming what the other person did was criminal.  It's to accept that not all unethical behavior is criminalized, that some people are nasty, and that they too leave a trail of victims and are worth keeping an eye on, albeit informally.


The fact that he committed a crime with a gun and fired several rounds justifies anything that happens to the thug.


Those "death panels" are looking better all the time...true patriots 'check out' early.


There is so much misinformation or no information with this story that it blows your mind...99% is assumptions and who said the workouts were like 'boot camp'?


"Wimps" is Russian for liberal men.
That analogy makes perfect sense.


Cry me a river.  What happened to the Syrian Christian refugees?


It's ludicrous to compare Trump with Adams, Jefferson, Hamilton, or Burr. But leave it to you...


Hello Kevin:  According to all I've read the man was accused of being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm which he had used to threaten the life of his girlfriend.  This reads like a serious situation.  The police had him isolated in the deplex with no "hostage" or direct and imminent threat to anyone.  They wisely (IMO) chose to not "storm" the apartment and force a possible armed conflict.  I certainly agree with that decision.  However, if I'm understanding things correctly, they left the scene with the intent of "arresting him later."  That makes no sense to me.  It may have taken time to negotiate his surrender, but it would have been time well-spent.  If, in fact, he had a gun and had threatened the girlfriend, it makes no sense to me to say, in essence, "Hey, we're leaving now....see you later."  It seems there's a lot of "middle ground" between "killing the guy" and walking away from the scene.......What do you think?  thanks, Gary


If the protesters outside Saffron Colonial really wanted to make amends for past colonialism, they would get their hands dirty and join the Peace Corps. That way they could do something about CURRENT sufferings in African nations and in India. The young fascists I encountered outside Saffron Colonial were more interested in grandstanding.

The purpose of political correctness was? To quell free speech. While allowing the left to redefine the language.

Just doing what they have to do when forced to share the infrastructure with cars. If cyclists had their own protected lanes and protected intersections, things would be better for them and motorists alike.


The whole country is a dump, Donnie. You're not helping.


Bill, I'm part of your we. And have voted different ways over the years - not married to any party. Notley's conversations with the oil companies re royalties seemed to go better than Stelmach's. And over the 40 year Conservative dynasty, the government ran deficits in half those years, depending on oil fortunes.

The days of "standing up for Alberta" with belligerence instead of reason are yesterday's tactics, employed by politicians like Trump who aren't getting anything done.


Unfortunately, the majority of these Mexicans are Roman Catholic.  If they could renounce Catholicism and convert to Islam, Justin would appreciate it.  We only support and protect certain religions in Canada.


You can't submit any proposals: You're on paid leave!

The story makes it sound like the older man just, out of the blue, decided to attack the student simply because he was black.  It's possible it played out that way, but I doubt it.  More likely the older man was provoked in some way.

And no, I'm not defending the actions of the older man.  I'm simply saying there was probably more going on than the article would indicate.


Sorry to hear of your loss.
The armchair cops and warriors here love to make anonymous assumptions about others to show how tough and masculine they are. It's sad.


The way we prepare young people for the work force is completely wrong and we should not pay people to sit at home doing nothing. Employers should be subsidized to hire and train young people not just give the unemployed cash. Same thing for refugees - the employer would help assimilate the newcomer into the economy and society after the obligatory language classes. As a small employer who works 55+ hours a week, if I could add a staff member to my business at a small cost, I would hire and train this person.


If PM Jean Chretien had not leaned on the government of Pakistan to release Khadr Sr from their jail perhaps Khadr Jr & Canada would have been better off.

The Islamic Jesus will in the last days will appear in Syria near Damascus and take his rightful place BEHIND Imam Mahdi, he will help spread Islam. He will then abolish the tax leaving the only 2 options for non Muslims being submit to Islam or die .


Innuendo about aggressive tactics does not make it true. It was politics by the so-called 'centrists' that wanted the lime light and figured they'd be a reincarnation of Alison Redford.


If hemp can pull toxins out of the soil at Chernobyl, why not in Portland?


Are you kidding me ?  No president so far has worked longer and harder than Trump .  When Trump takes a break it's a short one and then he's back to work.  When a U.S. military member was killed Trump was at the airport when the body arrived . When someone had they're head cut off , Obama was at the golf course one hour later.  When there was another major issue , Obama was out on the dance floor . Poor optics to say the least .  trump has America headed in the right direction . He deserves a round of golf .  This story is nothing more than the liberal bias press working 24 / 7 to trash Trump because he kicked they're rear ends in the election.

And it most likely will be tapped when reserves run low in the future and people will have a need for plastics, lubricants and the many other uses of petroleum.


Pretty sure you can YouTube how to make steel, not very technical.  But yes we are going to have a very hard time ever catching up with China.  Especially when our president already is invested in Chinese steel.

There are biological differences, yes.   That doesn't mean you (and others) get to categorize people based on your observations and assumptions about their biology, and what you assume it means about their capabilities.


Banks make 5 or 10 billion dollars profit each year. Paying for tuition would be a small inconvenience for them. It should not affect your pension fund at all.And the bankers should be happy knowing Canadians will be well educated, paying big dividends in better health care, lower unemployment, less crime, a happier work force.
  Chambers of commerce are complaining there's a big shortage of skilled workers.This is an excellent way to address that shortage - without needing to plunder Bangladesh, India and The Phillippines of their small number of educated professionals they badly need.


This was a court decision not a political decision.
In any case he was a child at the time and his treatment was disgraceful, that Canada played along with this for so long was aslo disgraceful

"Ignoring others questions is an old debating tactic which provides little of value." And you are very good at it motely and just as unimpressive.


This will cause D.J. Trump to have a fit of envy.  He will begin attacking Trudeau (and Canada) with his tweets.


Best news of the week.


The "ontologically changed" Father Gil Gustafson is so convinced that public accountability helps the pedophile recover, that he refuses to tell us how many children he abused. Legal considerations.

There is within Buddhist teaching a difference between compassion and what is known as idiot compassion. If Father Gustafson is recovering  nicely from acting upon his temptation to sexually assault children perhaps he can take his recovery to a monastery cell to pray for all  his unnamed struggling victims, their struggling families  and the countless child victims of his countless colleagues who engage in his level of ontological narcissism.

Next, will there will be discussions of recovering ontologically changed serial killers grateful for their graced recoveries?

In talking about the restaurant stocks, I am curious what fellow investors think about how the upcoming raise in minimum wages will affect these stocks, since it will affect much of their staff, and therefore the bottom line?


Not one Alaskan has ever drilled for oil and found it and sold it for a profit because they made the rules so harsh and confusing that keep everyone but the majors out so when you shoot at the majors you kill the Alaskans oil workers and keeps smaller explorers and small producers broke!

Fix this broken oil and gas system that favors big oil or the the Trans Alaska Pipeline will shut down and Alaska will have nothing but the Permanent fund to live off of.


I never had Professor Pothier as an instructor, but you couldn't attend Dalhousie Law School and not be in her presence.  She was the most excellent of us, from her legal brilliance to her monocle to her crammed office with the articles she had read - and those that were on the list.  She will be missed.


At the risk of generalization, let me give my own experience of nursing homes. My family has visited various nursing homes in Montreal and Toronto to see family friends there. An old family friend with dementia was placed in a Montreal nursing home. It was terrible place run by Haitian nurses who didn't care and were lazy. The place stank of urine and was dirty.

Our friend was transferred to a Chinese nursing home in Montreal's Chinatown. I can't recall the name. It was like night and day. The place was clean and filled with sunshine that came through large windows. The Chinese nurses were young, cheerful and hard working. They interacted with the seniors with a great level of service.

In the end, I doubt anything will change at Retirement Concepts. It has to meet the standards set by the BC Health authorities.


I generally enjoy Midday Report but Grootes I find is too full of himself, especially when his left-wing bias takes over . He is also very poor with data and statistics, hence his frequent use of the phrase' not necessarily'.
I hate Grootes comments on Boris Johnson, calling him a racist and worse.... would he dream of doing same in SA. Boris was Editor of The Spectator, wrote a great weekly column in the Daily Telegraph (£250,000 annual payment) until his appointment as Foreign Secretary and was Mayor of London 2x... with 60% not born in London and millions immigrants!!


aa the socialist loving high taxing lover left are out again with the stupidity of government run anything

Let's bygones be bygones and move ahead without stirring an aged-old hornets nest . We have enough present day problems to attend to and unless these documents endanger our national security let's put it at rest!


Taxing DIRTY natural gas to heat your house is a good idea.!  As "nothing" will ever replace it  the government wins a guaranteed revenue stream.  The proceeds can go to Government to build  heating stations for the middle class. Coast to Coast ... Meanwhile we will double ship our oil exports

you are very kind.

really, the credit goes to don marquis and his wonderful characters archy the cockroach and mehitabel the cat.

if there are any of you who haven't read 'archy and mehitabel' get the edition illustrated by george harriman, of 'krazy kat' fame.

i've had that book on my shelves, through thick and thin, since 1963 and it never fails to make me laugh out loud.


It was probably a crayon


I think it is fair to say that in all provinces people take government services for granted. Why this should be so is odd, but it exists even in Alberta.


WHY IN THE HELL WOULD THEY DROP THE MOST SERIOUS OF CHARGES??!!!??? If this isn't a perfect example of the perversion of our judicial system I don't know what is. This man deserved to be hung the first time he was found out. How about holding the hospital responsible for not reporting to the authorities, but just suspending him! OMG. I'm so pissed. Innocent children are nothing to our courts.


These ratings agencies depend on crooks who are protected by public officials like Gov. Walker.

Why hasn't Walker removed Marc Pfeffer from the AK Municipal Bond Bank Authority after emails between Rep. Hawker and Pfeffer that relate to the Anchorage LIO clearly showed that Pfeffer does not have the integrity to be in charge of our public finances?

As chair of the AMBBA, Deven Mitchell carries out what Pfeffer and his gang @ the AMBBA cook up.

'Deven Mitchell, the state's debt manager...who communicates with the ratings agencies before bond sales, said their analysts realize Alaska is spending its readily accessible savings at unsustainable levels.'
http://www.adn.com/alaska-news/article/fitch-warns-alaska-potential-credit-downgrade-if-fiscal-ship-not-righted/2016/02/29/

Pfeffer's questionable collaboration with Hawker to take care of his own interests before the public interests was a red flag to all and he should have been ousted off the board.

This all stinks to high heaven.


At the end of the season's salvaging we might just to be satisfied with UH football team showing up each game, regardless if its is a losing season.  winning and losing really doesn't mean anything just so as to not bring us down in life in Hawaii.  We will know then more of Rolovich's  head coaching abilities.  compared to JJ's years at UH,  I thought it would be similar and winning season on till the epitome we had.  reality no more JJ and no more da kine.  no more exhuberations.  Warriors were also OUT-COACHED.


Somedays I look at it and like it , and other days I don't . I definitely don't think it's anywhere near as ugly as the Honda though.


He needs to go to heaven to get re-educated on why health care for all american's is a right not a privilege.  He is a very hard right guy who choses corporations "rights" over people's basic rights. He gets all him medical paid for but supports a republican "health" care plan that will exclude 24 million americans.

If he doesn't go to heaven and he recovers.. he will just continue his hateful anti-human behaviour.


This will upset most people in the country..


The federal government can withhold health care transfers to ensure provincial co-operation.

They just don't want to face the political fallout both from the provinces and from the pharmaceutical lobby.


Perhaps the slogan should read "For then many, not the Jew". His 'friends in Hamas and Hizbollah' would be so proud!!!


What you don't seem to KNOW is that the HART Rail serving the Joint Bases is ACROSS the highway requiring massive busing and causing major traffic issues for military commuters. Rail does NOTHING to serve JBPHH workers. It just makes their commutes three times longer.

Jesus did mention that the 10 could be boiled down to 2  .
He also gave us the 8 Beatitudes  .  Not that much attention is paid to them !
Seeing how little we truly loved ourselves he added  "  love one another as I have loved  you  !
Why we forget Paul's lengthy discourse on the powerlessness of the 10 commandments to do anything but convict us of sin   ( letter to the Romans ).   is beyond me  .


I doubt it's logistically possible to give 3 quarterbacks enough reps to adequately prepare them for games and to compete for the top job. It's hard to do it with 2, and the delay in figuring out the starting quarterback is going to show when the season starts. An NFL quarterback needs lots of reps with his team to truly be effective. Splitting practices, which are already strictly limited, into 3 groupings, would be irresponsible.


Yeah those Brazilians and Aussies just can't compare to the ultra unbeatable, super powerful 'MURIKKKANS!!!


I would be inclined to agree MK, but I think Dr. Milner was comparing the public approval ratings of these three far from wise men--NOT their degrees of apparent psychopathology.

By this I mean the first comparison is "apples to apples", while the second would be more "apples to oranges" as you perceived.  Aloha!


Kind of strange when the defense for Communion in mortal sin is, well, Judas received in mortal sin too.


Aloha Richard,

Thanks for informing me on the program you described.  I was unaware of it.  However, I was hoping to keep these exchanges on a professional level.  Are you implying I live in La-La Land?  If so, I don't believe your comment was necessary in making your point.  I believe this is one of the things Civil Beat is trying to promote.  An exchange of ideas, not finger pointing or taunting.


"Sticks and stones, bombs and drones, will break my bones, but words and gestures will never hurt me." While both parties of the US duopoly continue to wage illegal wars and daily visit death on other countries, we discuss whether 'the bird' was inappropriate.

Have you ever walked (perhaps with a walker) to mail a letter?  Nine-tenths of a mile is very different than in a car.


Look at CBC News. It receives $1.4-billion a year, and is profoundly biased. What is so sad is that the CBC's "code of ethics" states that the news agency is supposed to be ideologically neutral. But only a fool or a liar would claim that this is true. The CBC is profoundly corrupt, and the billion-plus subsidy helps drive the corruption.

Let's get on with the state income tax, of which there will be no more money given for houses built on sand bars. This is one of those pointless topics of conversations because there is no logical problem  for which there are no logical solutions. Just an opportunity to name call and be angry with each other.

So absolutely all of Texas is a war zone, huh?

Top to bottom, including River Oaks in Houston, or the Park Cities area in Dallas?

I am not sure if I have ever set foot outside of my auto in places like Jane-Finch in Toronto, let alone been through there more than once or twice in the last decade... I am not even sure it is the worst area of Toronto any more...I am sure if you speak to anyone who lives in Texas will tell you the same thing - bad areas? just don't go there....

This why prostitution should be made legal.  When I went to the UAF we had Ruthy's in south Fairbanks where a male could get laid for $10.  But the do gooders shut that down after about 25 years.


You keep calling for a revolution. Are you going to be the first to take up arms? Or are you just "venting"?


Unfortunately, far too many deplorables still tune into fake news outlets that deliberately keep them ignorant and stupid. Give it time and such outlets will have the deplorables believing that Obama/Hillary/$DEMOCRAT is to blame.


I know it's a serious thing but that was my first thought too lol.


Wait till Trudeau is called out for breaking his promises on helping out the middle class, through stealth taxation that affects more than just the 1%.


Perhaps it is the Patriot Act of 2001 that you are ascribing to Vice Pres. Cheney? The House voted 357 to 95 in favor (Democrats voted 145-62) and the Senate voted 98 to 1 in favor.  Seems you might want to spread some of your rancor around to more than one individual.

Actually MUSLIM American (often originally refugees or immigrants, or first generation of) support Sharia Law in the United States of America. And Jihad too.

From the findings of the Center for Security Policy’s survey of Muslims in America - *a majority (51%) agreed that “Muslims in America should have the choice of being governed according to shariah.”

And: *Nearly one-fifth of Muslim respondents said that the use of violence in the United States is justified in order to make shariah the law of the land in this country.

Americans, non-Muslim, do not.
[...] * broader U.S. population, the overwhelming majority held that shariah should not displace the U.S. Constitution (86% to 2%).

*More than half (51%) of U.S. Muslims polled also believe either that they should have the choice of American or shariah courts, or that they should have their own tribunals to apply shariah.


The article points out " a disturbing level of excuse-making and willful blindness".  I agree, but on the part of whom.

"Let’s not forget that there are three times as many Indigenous children in foster care today as there were First Nations, Inuit and Métis children in residential schools at their peak.".  This fact is stated as an accusation, but who should it be directed at?

Most of these problems could and should be solved at root causes.  With local leadership.

Being nimble and able to react to opportunities and obstacles, is a main reason small businesses can thrive.  The key is to innovate, stay relevant and take calculated risks to out move the giants like Walmart and Amazon.

So...what's "indoctrinated"?  A good case could be made that TV sitcoms and Fox News qualify as "indoctrination" just as Father Knows Best, the Ozzsie and Harriet Show and Leave It To Beaver once did.


"Your priest is deliberately excluding the congregation from what he is doing."

I'm sorry, but this makes no sense. Why does the priest need to *face* the assembly for the assembly to be included? Does the assembly have to *see* the priest's *face* to be included? Why?

Does this mean that people who cannot see -- at all -- are excluded? What about people who are sitting behind a pillar? Or who -- regardless of which way the priest is facing -- aren't even looking at the priest? If someone attends Mass, and follows along in the missallette, or prays with eyes closed, or is attending to a child -- is that person "excluded" -- because s/he isn't looking at the priest's face?

Why do you consider which way the priest *faces* so terribly important?


The media needs to stop referring to these illegal businesses as "ride-sharing." The Associated Press has already stopped because it's dishonest reporting and does not meet their journalistic integrity standards. The Globe should consider this.


And in a parallel universe a young German teen goes off to a foreign country, has a baby, fights for that baby, and then is sent to Guantanimo Bay where she and her baby are tortured. The Germans are called in and say go ahead torture her and her baby and then we might take her back.

If Trump doesn't get us WW3 and a quick ending, he will give us decades of misery with a Supreme Court that is loaded with ultra-conservatives who will promote corporations and the rich, over the rest of us.


A couple of marks of fascists:

1.  Declare that the free press is an enemy of the people, and only the fascist leader can be trusted to tell you what is going on.

2.  Tell the same lies over and over and over, despite the evidence.  Repetition wears out the public and they'll believe any lie.

Trump is not merely a mentally unhinged narcissist on a power trip.  He is not merely feathering his own bed off the Presidency of the United States.  He has taken directions toward having an authoritarian government.  And yet people like Valantas still buy into Trump's crap.  Democracy has failed and failed hard when we have a population that is this gullible.  Valantas should never vote again.  Valantas has proved himself too stupid to vote responibly.


Here is the problem with your position. If you insist on ignoring the 'will' of a substantial portion of the population of a region, then you often end up in civil war. The US is perhaps the most famous example of that. Lincoln had absolutely zero business insisting that the 'union' remain in tact. In fact, the war of independence had been fought on exactly that principle - the enduring 'right' of people to choose their own path, if that is the only way they can find the freedom they seek.


Ah seez Commonists everywhere I look!

LOL


We don't have to tolerate it and we shouldn't. At the moment the only past promises I can think of that rank with this one are:
Liberals - we will kill the GST
Conservatives - Free trade is a dead issue
Justin - deficits of no more than $10B for at most 3 years
All promises that *could* have been kept put the part of the day decided Canadians weren't entitled to have them keep their word. Canadians need to make our politicians pay a steep price for lying to us.

I'm not sure I owe you or anyone else a resume but I do have a BS and MS in the Sciences, plus 50 yrs working the sciences.  So as to my "bold statement" about the words used in the article, any statement that is completely inclusive, ie. some act of nature being "totally driven by man" is on face value an error.  Nature is too chaotic, almost nothing in nature is totally driven by one force.  If an exotic like a mammoth walked the north slope today, would we consider this exotic to be totally caused by man, just because it is at this date an exotic? Exotic species is a relative term. Milankovitch Cycle theory describes the collective effects of changes in the Earth's movements over geologic time periods and these movements effects on Earth's paleoclimate, perhaps this bit of science might have some validity too.


Truck was loaded with guns and grenades too. Driver jumped out of truck with gun and fired into crowd as well. Stop being an idiot. Children, mothers, families were killed celebrating freedom, fraternity.


Territory captured in a war (1967) provoked by Arab perpetrators is always permissible as an act of self-defense.


Their "theory" is that the mom and GF helped conceal evidence. I guess people can be charged and arrested now on a "theory"; evidence not needed. What BS.


Yes Dela Cruz and Inouye were strangely absent for this very seemingly important vote. Very strange as both Dela Cruz and Inouye
were sponsors of  this bill.  Does that mean that what happened yesterday was a dog and pony show and they already knew
what was going to happen.  This would seem to be the case as the bill passed easily even with Dela Cruz and Inouye not even
showing up to vote for it.
This does line up with what I was told recently by someone on the inside at the legislature.  This person stated that these
hearings are just for show and that the decision has already been made prior to any testimony and the hearing itself.


You mean sanity.  Gerson, a Republican operative and GW Bush war enabler, has succumbed to sanity.

Please email me directly with any other patients whose cases we could look into.  Of course, we would need those patients to be willing to come forward.  I talked to many more patients than those named - and found it very difficult to get cases on the record, because most people are fearful or reticent about speaking out for one reason or another.


First you bash anyone who has the temerity to call a spade a spade (trump being a liar), then refuse to accept proof of his lies.  You are in denial, which is truly sad.


Well, clearly, writing an essay can lead to someone voting differently, so I'm not sure of the point either.


Give the man a break.  He's too busy with his many dogs, and flying to Europe to attend conferences on the NCR dime.


You people don't even have a kindergarten level understanding of what insurances.

 Does the state require you to purchase "no fault "insurance? You people are unbelievably dumb


That's almost exactly what I said when I came back to the U.S. almost 20 years ago and watched Fox News for the first time!


I am not on the losing side of the Trump discriminates "debate".  I have proof.  If this is a "debate" then rebut with proof that shows I am wrong.   Orders of the court aren't "false allegations":

"“that additional affirmative relief be granted to ensure realistic opportunity of nonwhite citizens to rent dwellings at predominantly white buildings . . .”  AND

"that individual victims of discrimination be compensated for any injury caused by unlawful conduct”  AND

“that Trump be required to continue to report to the Court and to the United States.”

The state sells the oil in the form of lease and royalty agreements. How is that a "theft"?
I think if the referendum election were held today, the outcome would be the same given the electorate were informed. The reason is that with the old system, which the state would have had to revert back to, would have been no better, perhaps worse.


Such discerning skill is utterly missing from the Hawaii DOE's "curriculum."
Let us continue to raise and train our children to wait on tables, greet with lei, dance the hula in the lobby, and clean rooms.


Enjoy the walk when it's -35 and your new play toy is dead as a doornail.


right,  how dare someone hold a corporation accountable for their poor choices!


Let's be clear. During the campaign, Candidate Trump routinely charged that the election outcome would be "rigged." Mr. Obama's measured response to the alleged Russian intrusion was not to serve the ends of any particular candidate but instead to preserve the integrity of our electoral system and to assure the public's faith in the same. It is now up to Mr. Trump's Justice Department to investigate the matter and take appropriate action, providing that action is executed with competency and without the meddling triggered by external political calculations.


AKMILF ??


Have you actually lived in a theocracy, or a totalitarian regime? I have, and I assure you, it is very, very different.

History is always massaged. After all, British kids are not taught that Churchill committed terrible war crimes. Japan glosses over its wartime record. Many Russians revere Stalin. Mao gets the same respect in China.


Let the elite's MSM make up the fake news, you are just too fake!


If there was ever a crime report needing a mug shot, this was it.


Dreamlost please tell us why M&P should be sold. Does it operate at a loss that is being picked up by property taxes?  Please privatize the trash collection as I know the private companies have yet to do the job for less in any community they serve.


Kind of like trying to overhaul the entire immigration system because one DV Visa recipient used a truck to murder in NYC? When a murder is committed by a Muslim, the "patriots" are willing to move heaven and earth, spend endless amounts of blood and treasure, establish new bureaucracies, spy on American citizens, frisk us and inspect our shoes at the airport, invade random countries that had nothing to do with the crime, all to keep us "safe". When yet another mass shooting happens in America, the "patriots" are like, "meh" and resort to whataboutism and deflect to alcohol and act as if we can ONLY address drunk driving or mass murder but not both.


"And it says most of those PR advocates favoured a mixed-member proportional system, in which MPs would be elected in each riding just as they are currently, supplemented by additional regional MPs chosen from party lists and apportioned according to each party’s share of the vote."

How does this differ  from FPTP?  We can still get majorities with a minority of the vote unless the regional MPs are almost the same in number as the riding MPs.


Wow, but that's all spurious.  To begin with, the Government does not publish individual census responses within the lifetime of the respondent.  And the info you mention are held by different levels of government who (thankfully) do not have the authority to link it.

...Being able to compel information on an ad hoc basis with a warrant is nothing at all like collecting it systematically on a population basis, but go ahead if you want to keep saying it is....


Conservative For Life's comments are crude, vile and unacceptable.


And just where did Pope John's utopian, nonsensical preference for a warped notion {in the post Conciliar era} take us?  Into the abyss where only four Cardinals are FINALLY calling out this modernist nonsense.


""slams Mayor Kirk Caldwell and his administration for lacking benchmarks and mismanaging programs aimed at sheltering people.""

Are we surprised at the homeless programs inefficiency, or the rail for that matter?


The reason that there are very different views in the Catholic Church (or in any institutional religion) is that each of us is at a different stage of spiritual growth.  "Stages of Faith" by James Fowler and "Integral Spirituality" by Ken Wilbur are two books that speak extensively on this topic.  Growing our  souls and establishing a personal relationship with the ever present God/Yahweh/Allah/Mohammed/Buddha expands the inclusivity of our souls and widens our circle in regards to all of humankind and creation.  Both of these books explain why some folks cling so tightly to 'their' religion and others are able to move forward.


I'm one of the biggest critics of Robertson -- I can't stand him.  But he is entitled to his vacation afterall and it's not as if it were a 9/11 situation, or a catastrophic earthquake.

Also there is an acting mayor in place while he is away.

What city council and city services should be blamed for is for their lack of preparation and, as usual, making up excuses that they were not prepared, are doing their best, blah, blah, blah....the question is WHY are they constantly not prepared ever five years or so when Vancouver gets walloped by snow?  Where is the lessons learned?  Even when mistakes happen why are they so slow to react?

And here's the hypocrisy of the CUPE union: they want private citizens to line up in the cold, get salt, and salt the sidewalks, alleys, and roads which really should be the city's job.   But back when they were on strike, they implicitly threatened private citizens who were picking up garbage at parks citing they were infringing on CUPE.


I think you will know it when you stand before God on your judgement day.


"... elitist narcissistic populists, like Trump and Trudeau..."

Are you insane?


If we continue to do the oil train thing, we can expect a LOT more of these derailments in Oregon and California. None of our tracks are up to snuff for carrying mile long stretches of tanker cars, which are somewhat unstable under the best of conditions. The only question is do we have a major catastrophe involving a major urban center (Portland, Sacramento) or do we destroy a watershed (Sacramento River, Willamette River, Columbia River, Klamath River).

Since fracked oil is the most expensive to pump, upwards of $40/bbl, it is sensitive to market conditions. If people would return to reducing their driving, as was done from 2004-11, we could dry up the market for this source before the bomb goes off.


Put in a sales tax.


Figured I'd give it a go ...since you don't seem to get it in English 😁


I find it sad that some of the public like yourself keep asking for another pound of flesh from members of a profession that's already worked so hard and sacrificed so much.

Doctors sacrifice and delay their youth, starting a family, becoming financially independent, their freedom and mobility, their family life, missing importance life and family events, and many times their own health and mental wellbeing for years and decades in order to be competent at their craft and serve the public.

And yet people like yourself feel like after all this we should still be treated like indentured servants.

I don't think foreign doctors will treat you with as a customer-friendly attitude as you believe.  Doctors from outside the US tend to work in systems that are more paternalistic and less concerned with quality or patient wishes than our own.


While I feel for the innocent people caught in the middle, I have to take a stance against more food aid.  Simple reason is the corruption; most of the aid is stolen, then sold and the ones who benefit are the a-holes that are the cause of most of the problems in the first place, the despots and warlords. It's useless, it doesn't reach the people who need it and it strengthens the positions of those that cause and exacerbate the problems. Just give the warlords more guns and cut out the middle man, because that's what food aid is doing anyway. In South Sudan, embezzlement  estimates range from $4-10 Billion in a 10 year period, there's already billions in food aid that's been given - and promptly stolen. Is the plan to just keep pouring dump trucks of money into the country and hope they can't steal it as fast as we can give it away?


Some lawyer you must be. Assuming facts not in evidence ring a bell? That aside, the administration is perfectly within its rights to question any decision by an executive department. That it did so hardly makes it responsible for either the actions of the police or the protesters.

Funny thing about this pipeline crossing, when it was upriver of a major predominately white city they were made to relocate it downriver from that city. Potentially polluting white people's water source—problem. Doing the same to non-white's water source? Nothing to see here, move along.

Tell us Mr. Lawyer, got any energy sector clients these days?


Thanks for that little tid bit. Really makes me respect your total unbiased insight. I'm glad you are looking at things with a open mind even after you did not get your way. I would tell you hating is not good for the heart. But you surely know that. Keep on keeping on


Under what justification would they attack NK. Methinks China might have a wee problem with that. But attacking NK would just be insane. The guy may be crazy but he is crazy like a fox. He is all bluff and bluster. He also has a huge army and if you do attack him he won't hesitate to hit back and also maybe hit Seoul as well. And then there is China. China will not tolerate it. And then lo you  are also at war with China and WW3 is on with nuclear weapons.


Start reading this drivel from Rebecca and wondered 50% through why bother. She is following her libtard agenda and here i am falling for it again, hoping a more neutral view would be offered.
My biggest problem?
The quick reference in this article to the other side of the story is just not good enough, so is the reaction from Spur. That is to say the black woman is “lily white” in her reaction. Sorry after watching that video i think not. So Spur, own up to the whole story and stop discriminating against one side only, whether it is current populist politics or not to slag off one side of the population. I also did not see one owner saying he would like to see both sides of the story through interviewing both parties. There are clear biased opinions here and because of that the chain is hurting.
Quality of journalism seriously biased and getting another thumbs down from me. Rebecca should go get another forum to publish here libtard drivel please.


Exactly right! The editorial surmises what the term "trade war" means. There is no definitive meaning for the term. In effect, it's 't-it for tat', and that's what most who answered the poll would be thinking, not aggressively provoking a snake before it bites.

To paraphrase the zeitgeist of those polls: "Don't be a victim".


"disturbing".  The drama undercuts your point.

Of course the "order of charity" is related to the Catholic principle of subsidiarity.  You understand neither and you're making statements about both!


"Trees grow here like corn grows in Iowa with comparable acre/revenue yields over 40 yr periods."

I want to see you grow corn on 30% slope out by Mapleton. Where are the comparable yield figures Don?


They couldn't poll the Electoral College- a remnant of the  civil war, and an oddity in a so-called democratic country.
The popular vote was spot-on the polls.


The lawyers overcharging on aboriginal issues has been going on for decades.  Lawyers who are members at the same golf course as I am, whose main files are aboriginal land claims have standing 1:30 tee times during the week and yet are ignorant to say they are 100% chargeable.    I know of abuses going back to the late 40s when some reserve land was deemed unnecessary, the amount paid by the famer purchasing the land was far greater than what was transferred to the band/govt.  Don't know who received the difference but the cheque did go to an Ontario law firm.


The notion of rights as inherent in human nature is a philosophical concept. Rights in law, individual rights enshrined in the laws of this or that land, is a very different conception of the same word.

The question whether healthcare is construed as a philosophic right depends on the philosophy adopted. Adopt as one's core philosophy the tenets of laissez faire capitalism, and one might conclude no such right exists. Adopt as one's core philosophy the tenets of Christianity, and depending on your version of Christianity, the notion that healthcare as a right can be derived without great effort from the golden rule.

In the current context, the question properly put is whether Americans ought to adopt healthcare as a legal right? If they answer in the affirmative, and if they elect lawmakers who actualize that affirmation in law, then ipso fact healthcare becomes a right in the US; just as it is in virtually all other first world countries.

American's decide if it is a legal right.


You're right -- trusting the hierarchy implicitly in this matter was a godawful mistake, believing implicitly that our local priests had nothing but good in mind for our children was a devastating mistake.  I think the increasing access to information over the last decades has made it less likely most of us would make that mistake again.  And it has opened eyes to many other forms of abuse and abusers.

But we still have presumably lay people, even on this site, who seem to insist it either didn't happen, or has been blown out of proportion, or is a bunch of false allegations, or the hierarchy isn't responsible, or it's a conspiracy to attack the Church.  And that's after decades of revelations of the violence done to the laity, especially children, and the hierarchy's efforts to bury it.

The hierarchy continues to act like we are simple children who just need to be told what to do and what to think, and everything would be fine -- for them.


I hope that the incoming flux of money will be going into a specific account for Health Care, if not it will just put  into the trough..If not then gallant will just blow through it ,as the province is in such dire straights.
As far as praise for this deal, I feel that there is something more behind this story, other then desperation for any money. Thus a separate account..


The most glaring problem is the disrespect shown our country by these overpaid athletes.

You can blame QB's, DB's OL, etc, but look inward, these misinformed, way out of line athletes, spend far too much time composing endzone celebrations, tackles made, passes blocked down, whatever bit of trivial event happens on the field.  And now, are 'protesting' their country, as 'unjust' 'unfair' when 6% of the population, black males, do over 50% of the crime.  I have no idea of what they desire, but know it's unachiveable.  Has anyone asked them?  Most won't know what they are protesting,  I, for one, have no idea.


John, if driving is a circle with no off ramps suits your fancy then go for it.


Yep, try those pernicious sanctions.  They worked well against Japan prior to December 7, 1941.  The imposition of sanctions - economic and diplomatic - sure kept the Chinese from developing a nuclear arsenal.  We should also be proud of tough economic sanctions that kept Pakistan from building their stockpile. (Wink, wink).  Who is this Cory Gardner?  Is he some type of intellectual lightweight?  Or, is he just looking for ink?


I remember the "R" after her name. Surely you do too.


No matter how Alaska education is packaged, it is simply the easiest money to take and repurpose in order to satisfy the oil industry's appetite.

The funds are being taken from more than education. Moneys are taken from all facets of the Alaska community equaling more than $1 billion of tax programs, subsidies and state credits payable to the richest industry in the world — even if the oil industry fails to produce or if the market isn't buying.

The Alaska Legislature needs to pass a plan prioritizing our community and our students above oil industry subsidies and tax credits. This can be done by thinking about ways to create revenue and other industries that would benefit the state's earning potential.

With that, the Alaska Legislature's uncertainty, missed deadlines, and lack of proactive planning should not be rewarded with overtime and additional per diem. This responsibility should be fulfilled as part of the job they agreed to, at no additional cost to the citizens of Alaska.


oddley enough Rachel Notley-Arab was holding a protest sign to stop any and all developments not so long ago.


Trudeau better wake up from his dreampuff idealism. The Liberals are suffocating our job creators with red tape and taxes while Trump is planning on doing the opposite and Trudeau calls this an opportunity? An opportunity for Canada's best and brightest to move to the US? The Butts/McGuinty/Wynne boondoggle in Ontario is a wet blanket that the Globe shamelessly ignores.  Now Trudeau is about to saddle the rest of Canada with the same short-sighted stupidity - higher energy costs with absolutely nothing to show for it besides a warm and fuzzy feeling for smug champagne liberals who live in a bubble of self-involved ignorance. "Being green and clean isn't cheap" says McGuinty while enjoying a golden pension - meanwhile, people who actually work for a living are drowning in energy bills.


I certainly hear what you're saying, just not sure what the most effective course of action is at this time.  Whatever we do, or don't do, has the real potential for being disastrous.


Free speech is still here and alive but not for foul language and nasty ness. You don't have to use blanked out words to make a point anymore, judging your words is not the same as judging the meaning of a comment well written is it?


Medics in civilized countries don't execute the wounded, even wounded enemies. Netanyahu supported the medic's actions,  calling his parents to offer his support and sympathy.

That is Israel today.


Natural law is one thing.  Its about sin.  Dogma is about what we decided at Nicea, Chalcedon and Ephesus in the fourth century.  Democratically by democratically chosen bishops.  For a great history of the latter, read Christianity, the First 3000 Years by Dairmind MacCullocgh.  Don't let the fact that he is an Episcopal priest scare you off.


Just take away the NCAA championships UNC won during  the fake classes period.  This fake classes were way worse than the infractjon UH men's volleyballball did when their title was taken away.


It's not a first step; the courts have never viewed any Charter rights, including freedom of religion, as absolute.

As just one example, you may recall the 2012 decision saying a sexual assault complainant didn't (under freedom of religion) wear her niqab while testifying in court against the accused.


What would be funny is to hear Cam ask a question about mathematics.


Fukushima?


I would much rather have a leader who makes decisions judiciously and with great forethought and consideration of all the possible ramifications than have a leader who does stuff just because he said he would whether it makes sense or not.

I've found that when people don't understand complex issues they like to have a leader who will tell them that everything will be okay, trust me, I have all the answers.

I have found that those leaders are the worst leaders. They get lots of people killed.


Still popping the popcorn, but I don't see the Rox being able to keep up with the oncoming Cardinal rush during the impending road trip of death.  Stranger things have happened, but not often do you see a faltering team regain its composure against elite opponents on the road.

Strangely, despite the early success of this team they just haven't grown on me.  Had you said the starting pitching would dramatically improve I would likely have been ecstatic by that alone.  However, I just don't think this team has the spark that looked possible during the first 2 1/2 months of the season.

Bridich will have his hands full reconstructing this putrid offense, but at least that's a more manageable task in Colorado than finding ways to pick arms from the proverbial pitcher tree.


This is why adultery is punishable in the military. Because we condemn it as a society, the adulterer can be blackmailed, which could compromise classified information. It's just as much a concern for any person in a position of power (especially presidents) and why they shouldn't be sleeping around, even consensually.


Aren't you disappointed our Defence Minister didn't claim the credit for it?


If Schwab knows all that he states, then he needs to prove it with credible, verifiable facts!


Did those big city cops ever get a conviction on that?  No?  Jump back, little podunk La Plata has solved a case from bones collected on a mountain and Boulder can't solve one with no footprints outside the house on a snowy night.  You have to admit the Ramseys had a lot more money.


hat Trump is the biggest buffoon he has ever seen.
--
Trump does not take shirtless selfies
.
nor wear colourful socks with a dark suit
.
like Justin Trudeau
so biggest buffoon, who ?


Hey fakestream, this nonsense didn't work during the election and it ain't going to work now.  It's Just like Trump's tax returns -- nobody cares.  Going on about it just shows how out-of-touch and isolated the fakestream is from the real world.

THE JOURNAL OF GLOBAL DRUG Policy AND PRACTICE
A Critical Evaluation of the Effects of Safe Injection Facilities
Garth Davies, Simon Fraser University

Conclusion: Taking Causality Seriously
On the subject of the effects of SIFs, the available research is overwhelmingly positive. Evidence can be found in support of SIFs achieving each of the goals listed at the beginning of the evaluation. In terms of our level of confidence in these studies,the assessment offered here is far less sanguine. In truth,none of the impacts attributed to SIFs can be unambiguously verified. As a result of the methodological and analytical problems identified above, all claims remain open to question.

Such false hopes in the wall and Trump are had to deny.  A wall without adequate border patrol employees is nothing more than a stop sign.


No, but the article was cleared for publication by officials in Trudeau's PMO.


Then u do not know either nation. Both have aspects of both market and socialist economies, similar to what made America great.


I want to know who this guy flies for so I can put them on top of my vendors list.


The constitution mandates congress to "provide for the common defense." Hunger is a greater threat to our lives than any foreign enemy, especially considering that we spend more on a military (that couldn't protect us from 19 guys with boxcutters) than the next SEVEN nations combined, and many of those are allies. This is corporate welfare for the military-industrial complex.


" fair than equal rights for all and special privileges for none"

Could not agree more but lets face it what are the chances of that happening?  As long as we dont see the humanity in each other we will continue to see the 'other' as less than/less deserving.

On the generalisation minority advocates I would think they want equality of provision.  The assertion that they want equality of outcome paints them as unreasonable and implies wanting something without effort - the typical pushback to equity.  Racialised minorities know, have been told from the time they could walk that they have to be 10x better, work 10x harder than their white counterparts to be even seen as half as good.

From the perspective of the historically privileged class neither equality of outcomes nor equality of provision can be achieved without being perceived discrimination.  If theres only one job and it goes to an 'other' it will be seen as such b/c they likely believe the other wasnt as good at they are.


The average age of all DACA recipients is 25 Years Old.  Catch up, tell the whole truth.


You would do well to educate yourself on Ibbitson's informed view of Stephen Harper, warts and all, by reading his Shaughnessy Cohen award winning biography titled "Harper" which was published shortly before the 2015 election.   This award comes with a $25,000 prize and is given for the most consequential Canadian political and public affairs book of the year.

I have this book and I can tell you that it is an exceptionally even handed accounting of the 22nd PM's impressive strengths and political successes as well as the former PM's impressive weaknesses and political failures.

It is a good read, a cogent analysis and makes it obvious that neither Harper nor any other contemporary Canadian PM is John Ibbitson's hero.

One of Ibbitson's great strengths as a journalist is that he is scrupulously objective, thorough, fair and candid concerning the people he covers as a columnist.

This makes him an increasing rarity among the ink stained wretches.


Mr. Trump has just signed his 33rd executive order banning ozone alerts.  Ozone alerts lead to research and conversation about climate change which is a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese government on existing American manufacturers.  On his order we will have no more ozone alerts and also no more ozone.  Instead of ozone Mr. Trump will build a tremendous wall around the planet.  Trust me folks, the ozone wall will be tremendous, OK?  Believe me, no more ozone alerts.


OPEC is bad but the broken oil and gas system in Alaska is the worst.

In my opinion, based on 30 years in the Alaska oil business.

6 things can help Alaska's failing oil industry and help save Alaska's future;

1.Set up a one stop oil & gas agency and elect five commissioners.
2. Move Capital to Anchorage or anyplace most Alaskans can drive to and watch these legislators do what they do.
3. Elect the AG,
4. Make Alaska a self insured oil and gas state using the idle $50 million 470 oil spill fun" thus doing away with the unreasonable c-plan and outrageous permitting and bond cost.
5. Change the rules so Alaskans can afford to drill and find oil and sell it for a profit.
6. Allow for a jury trial in all oil & gas disputes to stop the Agency kangaroo hearings that do not give due process, making Alaska less fair then some third world oil & gas nations that cheats it's people of the wealth!

These 6 things may help stop things that do not serve the people and make Alaska great again

Keala and Lex Smith ,

Just showing how dishonest your answers are , Keala first you said it wasn't the Dennis francis, then you said it's a person on the other side of the island ? Now your saying it's a computer glitch that they put the name in without verifying ? It's very funny you would pay 20k two run that article and not vett the names .. sounds like how you operate rail and cbdg funds,  sewer spills we are getting fined for and the list goes on!

Bottom line you got busted and it's sad that Denis looks bad a publisher of the paper , who appears to be rigging the system too..

Their you have it guys I was right t Kirk rigging the system and looks very bad for star advertiser too. It just show the closeness the two have !!

Chad Blair you are one of the good guys posting that article and being a fair journalist !!!


Daddy's little RINO always looks that way.

Well said.  The answer to solving the PERS problem is to actually "solve" the problem.  Restructure, revise, remove, whatever, but let's not throw more money at it that the state, and the good people of Oregon, don't have.


Do you think that most politicians write their own speeches?


Ontario voters are almost as silly as BC voters. not quite that bad, but almost.


I would bet 1/2 the teachers couldn't do the math either. The teacher business is attracting too many arts graduates. I'm sure if Wynne increases their salary to twice the Ontario average, throw in more excessive benefits and pension plus some pizza money, the problem will be solved. Time to let parents decide where to send their children.


Odd.  Grew up in PA and we had to obtain licenses for our bikes if we wanted to bring them to school.  To get that, we went through safety inspections and riding classes, and they taught us to behave like cars...inclusive of traffic direction.

What's really bad about riding the opposite direction of traffic is the bike is in an area where the motorist isn't looking.  About 6 months ago I almost pulled out on a lady riding the wrong direction.  I was making a right turn on red into a divided road, and my focus was primarily traffic coming from my left.  There were no pedestrians in that intersection.  Just as I was beginning to pull out, I looked right to the lane I would enter, and there she was.  Fortunately it was nothing more than a scare.  But, in that situation, what reason would I have looking to my right?


A Time article from '81 says that Rother was told he was on a right-wing death list.


Heads up to our manufacturers and our federal and provincial governments. The game is on. We cannot rely on a huge currency differential to mask our lack of productivity. We will have to respond in kind with corporate tax changes if we are uncompetitive (and that's subjective), but the larger area of concern would be over regulation that drives up costs (and taxes). A thorough review of those regulations should be undertaken sooner than later to see if they are still valid or whether duplication exists.


The Democrats who control this State government with the Union, hook line and sinker once again has mis-managed our tax dollars in falling short in paying for this over-priced rail.  The Democrat city council is looking at Mayor Caldewell request to suck it to the over-tax burden citizens of this State once again in the form of raising the property tax to pay for their mis-managed rail funds.  Those people that voted for the Democratic party is happy.  The majority I presume are government workers.  This group is the only one that votes in the election and keeping these greedy politicians in power again.
       I don't know what will wake up the over-taxed citizens of this State and get off their okole and vote this rascals out of office.  In other words, FIRE THEM ALL!!


many standards need to be flexible, and trump is a cave dweller.


Actually most american states have far higher corporate taxes....in Canada they are low and the public pays the difference.   So from a taxation perspective you have it backwards.


So DP, why isn't this story on the front page?  What?  It makes Obama look like a fool.  It exposes more of his ineptitude by exposing yet another of his terrible deals?  "Defense attorneys have acknowledged that Bergdahl walked off his base without authorization." "Facing Republican criticism, Obama noted that the U.S. doesn’t leave its service members behind."  Hey Barry, he walked off on his own.


I agree that there are truths which vary depending on the variables, and the answer depends on those variables, simple algebra, but when can solve for those variables leading to an answer, a truth.

In quantum physics we see this when measuring subatomic particles, when observed they act differently then when not observed.  Light also acts strangely, at times acting as a wave and at times as a particle.  We understand this and they are truths we are aware of.  This does not change that 2+2 will never be five.  Ambiguity is when we are uncertain of the truth, such as a math problem we can't solve, or variables we aren't certain about, but in the end, the ambiguity comes from ignorance, in other words sin.  There is an answer to the problem when all variables are accounted for, this answer is truth.


I am closing in on age 65 myself but fail to see why seniors deserve across-the-board tax breaks..."to take their grandkids to a concert." Really? If they can afford that, they don't need a tax break. But lots of non-seniors could use some meaningful help.

I can almost guarantee that more health spending will just boost health salaries again, without changing the system or ensuring timely, quality care. There is so much needed, and such a slim chance it will actually be done.

To all those partisan liberals and conservatives out there, your loyalty may be admirable...or simply incredible. Both parties got us into this financial and ethical mess. Please stop saying that left is good or right is good - the few who deserve our trust are in all parties. Personal integrity is a far more useful and enduring quality in politics than party affiliation.


Unbelievable!


Unfortunately, in the current circumstances visiting the White House is an endorsement of Donald Trump and his ugly, divisive, bullying behaviour.

That usual response from a dyed in the wool racist like you. I must have a chip on my shoulder...no...I'm just an older journalist who covered cops and crime for years.


I'd guess that it's because Mexico didn't ask Guatemala and Belize to pay for it.

Was Ukraine ever a country?  Nyet.


What we don't need in power in Canada while Trump is still in place.  The sell out of our interests will need supply management.


Wouldn't that be an alternative fact?


Yeah.  Why can't hey make high school about stuff that grumpy old people care about?


Fun to read someone so wrong on all accounts. (i) Natural resources have been declining as a share of economic activity for decades. (ii) Services and technology are by far the largest and fastest growing parts of the economy. (iii) Investments in education, healthcare, transit are public goods that drive higher growth (compare Canadian and US economic growth. I am not sure you you intend by 'my cohort'. I do know that my property taxes in Vancouver are a tad lower than they were in Boston.


Believe and say what you want about President Barack Obama, but he's the first and likely to be the last president to ever show the intense kindness and respect to Alaska's first people:  Alaska Natives.  For that gesture alone, President Obama has my undying respect.


If I have to pay for it myself, Justin Trudeau will get the Nobel Peace Prize and you'll get nothing.


This editorial is about the second-class-city measure, not fluoride. Commenters should read the article before posting comments on a separate issue.


No need to get inappropriate comrade, he will be dazzled by right wing compassion and bigly rich with our econ plans.  Doublewide and copy of Pravda for all!!!!


I like the "semantic" angle that York presents here -- that the donor could be a Democrat who donates to both parties, just as many wealthy donors do.  It wouldn't be the first time the NYT wasn't a reliable source when it comes to Trump.  OR it could simply be a lie.  And/or it could be a lie started by Deep State operatives.  Maybe players in the US Intelligence Community used Fusion GPS as a front to try to smear Trump on Clinton's/Democrats' behalf.

In any case "wealthy Republican donor" could just be an attempt to deflect from or mitigate Democrats' involvement in underwriting the discredited dossier.  After all, the Russian Narrative was initially cooked up by Brent Budowsky and campaign chairman John Podesta in December 2015 (according to a Podesta email published by Wikileaks).  The book "Shattered", written by Clinton supporters, also mentions Podesta's and Mook's post-election plan to save face for the colossal loss by pushing the Russian Narrative.


Obamacare must go and be replaced by a market oriented non compulsory system where the customer cares about the cost of care.  Health savings accounts long term is one of best systems.  Employers need to be named and shamed if they do not provide decent health insurance for their employees..  Adult kids under 26 could be on their parents insurance but that should be an option.  People without slug kids in the basement should not be forced to subsidize their neighbor's slugs.  Health care is something you earn and pay for and a socialized system will bankrupt the nation.  Our social spending is far out of control and some realism about what we can actually pay for is long overdue.


The CTV network is showing the Super Bowl in Canada.  CTV is part of the Bell-Globe Media conglomerate.


Hear, hear!


Typical Liberal idiocy. The longstanding fact is that young women aren't as interested in the sciences as men. There are a lot of areas in university which are very disproportionately female, and nobody seems to care about that. But let there be one which is disproportionately male and the social justice warriors are on the march! Hey, here's an idea. We FORCE young women to enter sciences whether they want to or not. We choose their career path and make them follow it. That way the number of women in science programs will be equal to the number of men, and then you can appoint equal numbers!

Of course, the more likely alternative is they'll just find some incompetents and appoint them solely based on their gender. Then our glorious science minister - who only got her job due to her womb - will be able to act like she's accomplished something great - just like the girlyman who appointed HER.


Trump is running away from Clinton just like the Hodad predicted weeks ago!  All the blather from the American haters has come to naught!


Noah,

A "prominent notice"? The Booze Calendar is placed in a more prominent place within the newspaper. If the Herald has space for a Booze Calendar could it not provide a Snohomish County Calendar for different council events through out the county? This could include all Town Hall, city council. county council and community events. Those events on the calendar could be linked to any article published in the paper.


Katie Layne?  Wonder how (far more successful) KD Lang feels about that rip off attempt.


Someone got rich on the failed modernization of the port......lets call it " The Port of Shyster Sheffield"


We as medical consumers (because they is what we are) need to question prescriptions more. Why do we feel we need to take whatever a Dr. prescribes or the only way to fix is with a pill? There are also pain management devices out there for pain. No, they don't fix all but can possibly help. I know that a lot of people do try alternatives before going to meds but how many do not? Man, when I broke a toe the Physicians Assistant immediately wanted to give me Vicadin (sp?) and I said "No thanks".


Canadian Universities have an embarrassing record on defending free speech, whether it's the University or Ottawa or Ryerson, any group that doesn't follow "accepted" opinions are treated with (often violent) hostility under the guise of protecting other students from thought violence. Just imagine the outrage if this same student was criticized for perpetuating sexism by wearing a cultural garment commonly forced on women under the guise of morality, modesty, and piety - as in Iran, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, or any other country that subscribes to double standards for men and women parading as religious beliefs and cultural relativism. Had the TDSB not been made aware of their "accidental" inclusion of criticism of politics and culture of Islam in their definition of Islamaphobia, it would still be there.
The hypocrisy and double standard of the campus left (student and faculty) isn't new and it's only getting worse (or "better"?) depending on your point of view...


So a failed lefty likes our health system...great.


Here's my advice: focus on the gifted students. They're the ones who will matter in the future. Probably 40% of the kids don't need an education at all. Let's put the resources where they count. And the real losers, they can get their GED in prison.


Puty is the awesomest of the awesomest.

Pecs of steel on a man of that age are so macho.

Puty is a hockey god who is better than the entire Krutov, Larionov and Makarov line combined.

He may have poisoned a few of his enemies with radiation, but he also scored eight goals in a single game.

Not just because the goaltenders were scared for their lives to stop his shots either.


If an investor is happy with 2 to 3 %, then that's fine keep on with too much or ineffective diversification.  I prefer 6 to 8 % that I receive consistently by dividend investing.  I haven't owned fixed income since about 1984.  I can look back at income trust income and then a conversion to corporations when dire predictions didn't happen.  Book value of long term investments are so far below today's values that a 30 to 50 % correction wouldn't touch them.  Traders of course would say otherwise.  As Larry says, what he's looking at are paper values.  Cash in hand to spend or  reinvest, I believe is more important.


"...  fifth columnists, fellow travelers and dupes ..."? The 1950s called and want you to testify against your neighbours at the McCarthy hearings.


This is an outrageous travesty.  "Wolf Eyes" Walker has used state money to build a road knowing that there would be no parking.  No doubt the native corporations will come up with space for parking, at a premium price. How many representatives knew that this road would not have accomodations for the public to park?   This is a racist, unfair, and discriminatory action designed to benefit the Native corporations rather than all alaskans. It probably is illegal use of state money and it smacks of corruption and collusion at the highest levels. There should not be another nickel put into maintenance or building an ice bridge at state expense until this is changed. If not, make it a toll road and let the people who choose to use the road pay a fee to the state.


Tiresome leftist drivel.


I recall a previous post that asks a good question:  "If large oil deposit located under Cherry Creek, do you think Extraction would occur?   The rigs could be setup in parks, etc.".   Answer:  NO.   The Money and Political influence of the residents in area would prevent (ie. money always wins...).  The residents of Broomfield and Adams County simply don't have enough money to compete with political system, local elections, and O&G lobbying efforts at state capitol.   reference: local funding $350k+ against Prop 301.  this does not include the millions and millions spent on lobbying across the state by O&G.


seems there are many commie sympathizers in alaska. all those who defend antifa are defending communism.


Let’s all really enjoy Rthurs unhinged comments here.  He’s really losing it.  Fun to watch.  Typical Rthur post:  uh, duh, Hillary, oops, yah, uh, duh, democrats, I know you are, but what am I, you are ,uh, best president ever, um,um, duh, #MAGA, Hillary, democrats.  Best new thing is encouraging people to jump off the Pali.  Gotta love republican insanity for some morning humor.  Go Rth, Go Rth.  Really love his writing style for emphasis “diluuuuuuuuusional” - taking his cue from a teenagers textin style.  Okay, bring it on, can’t wait to see what you say about this post.  I’ll be waiting, but have to work (unlike you) so I probably won’t see it until tomorrow.


That's a beautiful dream, but that train has already left the station.  Ryan had a chance to step up to the plate and he passed.  The reluctant Speaker has his eye on the future.


Yes, I was a Flight Follower during the Exxon Valdez.


Jack,            Really?, why the heck did they have their money in our banks to begin with?  Don't they have banks over there?  It all sounds rather sordid and paying it off  "clandestinely" in   cash is really suspicious. It reminds me of a massive drug deal.  How did Trump scam anyone of his creditors?   Bankruptcy maybe?  You know that is legal and its actually loosely based on the Bible. The Israelites forgave all debts after 7 years.  What a concept.  Millions of Americans take advantage of our bankruptcy laws and thrive afterwards.  A good thing!


The glaring difference between Charlottesville & New York is that there were two opposing mobs of people at Charlottesville.  In NYC, there was no mob or protest just people out for a walk or bike ride on a normal day.  Also when a guy gets out of a truck shouting “Allahu Akbar” after running several people over, it’s pretty clear what the situation is.  Only the densest of people fail to recognize that for what it is.


My wife and I, over the years, spent time in Seattle visiting old friends.  We've also spent time in Portland.  Both cities have commercial/retail neighbors with those small, independent, locally owned shops and restauants. Those are the neighborhoods we really enjoyed.   We also enjoy Corvallis, whose downtown (which avoided the disaster of 70s era Urban Renewal) has dozens of those shops.  Broadway in Eugene is, to me, an effort to promote such a downtown.

 However, for such businesses to be successful, shoppers must actually enjoy walking down the street, "window shopping", visiting those shops, and having pleasant exchanges with others who are doing the same.  Given the unpleasant atmosphere in Downtown Eugene today, we "non-travelers" are far more apt to avoid the area than to go there.  That's a real shame for everyone involved.  Again, I'm 74 and wish to "go places" I find pleasant and be around people I find at least respectful.  that's not today's downtown Eugene.


Trump will win Alaska, 100%. And we'll probably be one of a handful of states that go red and for Trump. And I'll spend the next week after the election answering emails and texts from friends and family in the lower 48 asking if Alaskans are really backward, ignorant, hillbillies.


Don't confuse a few minutes foolishness at a service station with life.


Good editorial,  essentially saying, "let's learn from the past."  Thanks for that.

"Tax to legalize, don't legalize to tax."
 Like illegal pot, Liquor Prohibition in western Canada had been a costly, embarrassing nightmare.  The real reason for it (not temperance, but WW I guilt and grief) was no longer was a factor. In B.C., people just wanted to drink--even women, who voted "wet" in large numbers and especially returning vets--potentially dangerous, it needed to be "controlled."  In B.C.,  finance civil servants did the math.  B.C.'s liquor store "windfall" tipped it. The prairies saw it--and tipped.

Let's learn what happened AFTER provinces went "wet."  Did bootlegging stop?  No.  Bootleggers were a phone call away, 24/7.  Many delivered to the door. Good liquor cost much more than hootch from a hillside still. Quality didn't matter so much. Cost and convenience did.  It took years to build enough liquor stores, all of which closed at 5pm and on Sundays.  Get the lesson?


Rejected from Tuesday, trump's lowest point in office, maybe the lowest point in the history of any POTUS:

"Today he reached a new low. He publicly sided with hate groups and murderers over people who oppose them. He needs to be removed from office. Immediately. Anyone who disagrees with this is wrong and will be on the wrong side of history. He doesn't deserve any more chances. He's one of the ugliest human beings on the planet, inside and out, and he should not, no, absolutely cannot, be our president."


The root of the problem lies with David Cameron, Boris Johnson and company absconding and leaving the horrible mess behind that had resulted from their machinations.

Essentially, the blokes knew where this was headed and wanted to save their own skins for potential future campaigns.   Theresa May fell for it.


I was referring to his inability to even make cars on time. Hyper loop, linear motors and mag-lev. Both of which have been around longer than Musk has been on the planet. Don't hold your breath.


"The only important question [so called moral argument]", is what the judge said he found “odd and, frankly, insulting” against the insurmountable evidence that Canada did wrong. No government can deprive anyone of life, liberty, and especially their children based on "I have a better plan than they do!" And it's even further Donald Trump type imbalance to think that a few anonymous settlers are more hard done by this than the thousands of children robbed of decades of their lives.


in fact it will make it worse, now the usa will add this 680 million into thier subsidy amount claim and raise further any duty on our lumber


Mandy I agree with you about your comment. But the vote you are referring to is our vote for our legislators to represent us. The constitution does say it takes "legislative action" to amend the PFD. This November we will see how many people care about how we are represented when we see the voter turn-out report.


Perhaps a bit of simple research will answer this question.

Former Rep. Mike Rogers, former Reagan Attorney General and Heritage Foundation fellow Edwin Meese, former President of Heritage Edwin Feulner, former Bush administration official and lobbyist Christine Ciccone, former Dick Cheney adviser Ado Machida, former Senate Budget Committee staffer Eric Ueland and Sen. Jeff Sessions' former chief of staff Rick Dearborn. The effort is chaired by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Trump counts former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Sessions as close advisers.

My God what a wonder group of bi-partisan  intellectuals...not.


Unfazed or dazed  ? The books will balance themselves eh junior.


I liked this column. I think we must be careful not to see the faith of a convert as less worthy than the faith of a "native" Catholic. But, at the end of the day, Catholics can disagree prayerfully with the Pope on matters that have not been spoken of ex cathedra, but it truly is ridiculous to suggest that this Pope or St. John Paul II aren't Catholic or practicing heresy, whether spoken by a convert or a "born" Catholic. Not a huge fan of St. John Paul II, but I never, for a New York minute, thought he was an imposter sitting in the Chair of St. Peter. Those of us who think we need not listen to the voices of others need to get over ourselves.


DAPA is not the same program as DACA.  The facts of the cases are completely different.


lol "who's got it better than us?!!!" .........EVERYBODY ELSE LOL


It's not "bullyism" (?) just because you can't compete and you're getting your clock cleaned.  CBC and school taught you everybody gets a ribbon, but it's a lie.


Is Mr. Bowman appropriating western white culture by wearing a suit and tie?

Is this some sort of Halloween costume?


Your questions are in every way total conjecture, Pandora17, and highly disrespectful.  Why?  I guess in order to be fully prepared by Advent, we need examples of how for some there is "no room at he Inn."


got it


Not true, Weary Taxpayer.

29% of hispanic voters marked an X for Trump.  So did 8% of the black voters. So much for that "white guy" landslide.

A lot of other Trump supporters weren't even "guys", they were women: 42% of all the women who walked into polling stations to mark their ballots.

Just in case you're inclined to think that Clinton's voters wee "all rich," that's not true either.  She actually had a higher percentage of "poor" voters than Trump: 52% of those on incomes below $50,000 (£40,000) a year supporting her compared with 41% voting for Trump.

Source: exit poll conducted across the country by Edison Research for the National Election Pool, a consortium of ABC News, The Associated Press, CBS News, CNN, Fox News and NBC News, as reported by BBC, Nov 9, 2016, "Reality Check: Who Voted For Donald Trump."

This took me less than 3 minutes to discover.  You could have done the same, "Weary."


Well, Joshua Skov has lots of relevant government experience. Indeed, if you look at the voters' pamphlet, which is required to follow a prescribed format, it lists his extensive experience … and that Emily Semple has none. And much of Skov's experience is current, like his serving on the Eugene Budget Committee right now and asking the hard questions about where public money is going.

But in terms of biomass, it was actually Brian Weaver's guest viewpoint in the Eugene Weekly—that's you, "Nothing but the truth," right?—who has done the most to stir the pot over a report Good Company did 7 years ago, one of hundreds of such reports. Read the truth about biomass here: http://www.eugeneweekly.com/blog/ward-1-race-viewpoint-response-brian-weaver-josh-skov-and-seneca


"The board should reconsider. The long-suffering public has a right to a thorough explanation," and "A transparent, comprehensive review of the project’s troubled history is warranted."  Agreed.


You so funny.    But true:)


Funny I haven't noticed you come out and say the same about America....there a dozens and dozens of examples that are verified; for all we know this is a WMD style of obfuscation on the part of the US.


The irony of your post is laughable.  Don't ever question for one second that the ISS broadcast is coming from anywhere else than space!!  hahahaha NASA would never mislead the people.  They have only swindled billions upon billions from the tax payers and for that we get to see some really great videos and pictures from "outer space"

hahahahhaha happy dreams.


And then, after they get out of the penitentiary, the law will place the kids back with the parent(s) unless the parents are almost totally unfit.


Mr. Smith,
The map I referenced is the Federal Government's interpretation, not mine.  Thank you for looking at it.  As you can see the OLF is clearly outside the boundary of the Reserve.  All the documents that I have studied appear to indicate the same.
I don't know the document you refer to as "Ebey's Reserve EIS" from 1978.
But if you send me a link I'll be happy to take a look!
Also, are you citing the US National Park Service as the "fringe group"?
Or the Town of Coupeville?  Island County? Washington State?  Which of these four Ebey's Reserve Trust Board partners do you have concerns about?
All four are charged with "preserving and protecting the rural community"
(language from the Enabling Congressional Legislation).


"This just shows that there are way more stupid people in this country then we ever thought possible."
That's nothing new.  Bush was re-elected in 2004.


Abusive women in a position of power made my life a living hell, not through sexual assault, but in other ways. Of course I quickly separated myself from them and spread the word about them to friends, colleagues, and superiors.


Or... they could stop breaking the law and then acting like the KGB when they get caught.  What would that cost us?


Shilling for Countess Hillary, eh? You getting paid for this, or are you volunteering your services (servitude)?


What a great story!


There is one line in the article I hope is not wish full thinking, The Paris Accord will disappear. Driving all the Green`s and Leap Manifesto`s to despair.


Seems we have no problems coming up with $10,500,000.00 for passport Canadians - where video exists showing them building IED's, the same weapons that would ultimately would kill nearly 100 of our troops and wound 100's more, but taking care of our own troops . . . . well that can be a little more difficult. Perhaps the photo ops are a bit tougher given the nature of the wounds and grief involved. That being said I am happy this family and deceased warrior have finally be recognized and honored . . . . lest we forget.


Liberals won over medicare then implemented it?  That doesn't make sense.  I wasn't there at the time.
.
and it doesn't make a Dr strike evidence of a popular revolt


"Today in an interview with Blitzer on CNN, Spicer apologized and said he didn't want to distract from the President's policy of destabilizing not just Syria but the whole region."

  Right. I thought I heard him say something stupid like that, but I couldn't believe my ears!


No I am not - There are many rational arguments for God. If you want to listen to a good debate, even from an Agnostic perspective, listen to Bahnsen vs Stein, it is on Youtube, I am not expecting to to "convince" you, but it will give you a better understanding of the presuppositional argument.  You might even be aware of Gordon Stein.


I feel your frustration Broncos country, I'm defiantly with you guys, when as a team you can't run the ball against the worst run defense in the league, it defiantly going to be a long season. At quarterback Trevor needs to get better, but your offensive coordinator has to have more plays in his arsenal than we saw today. I saw 2 may 3 screens the whole game, and when they were called it was in obvious passing situations.

This will be a long season unless John Elway makes a move or 2 to get some OL help:

https://predominantlyorange.com/2017/10/18/five-offensive-tackles-denver-broncos-trade/

I'm not jumping ship, but this dumpster fire of an offense is defiantly cringe-worthy!!! Mike McCoy can't consistently, leave his rookie LT and RT in transition without help a large percentage of the time.

Again, only real time the Broncos move the ball was when they were running the no huddle offense but, I guess that won't be part of the equation this year!!!


Maybe we should make changes to our own political system before we tell other countries to change theirs.
How about electoral reform in Canada. Oh wait thats off the table because of another broken election promise by a typical politician.

On another note Trump is the ONLY president to make good on so many election promises in such a short time.


MSW never misses an opportunity to bash Obama and Clinton, never.  I have a feeling, even though he  denies it, that he voted for Trump.


Scott, I am glad that you (and other road/traffic engineers) are willing to sacrifice more and more of your fellow Alaskans in the futile effort to prove your pet theories, only to ignore unique and specific local conditions that disprove those theories.


You at the Denver Post have a really broad view of the word "Persecute".
Further, what is your point in running this story? It seems you are trying to gain them sympathy for their attempt at "passively" spreading their ignorance. Did we learn nothing from last year's election, where media sensationalism played heavily in turning the course of the election? Because all you are doing with this story is helping them to raise money for their billboard. Is that your goal? To spread misinformation and willful ignorance?


agree, these homes are too expensive for the people in the area, they should be in the $350-$400k range, the project should be rejected.  maybe they should downsize the houses by 1/3 to make them more affordable.


The Lawful Commerce in Arms Act is very narrow in scope. It only gives protection where a lawfully sold and purchased firearm (and all of the due diligence that goes with it) is used to commit a crime. It simply gives protection against suits that desperately try to build vicarious relationships with the person who commits the crime.

The Judge in the Sandy Hook suit is allowing for the Plaintiffs to conduct Discovery. If this goes to trail then the start date is scheduled for 2018


I knew Jason in highschool and he was someone you could admire, an athlete, an acidemic, and an all around nice guy.  I also know I sold wine and booze to Mrs. Vasquez for a few years and my impression of her was that she was inconsiderate, rude to employees, entitled, and overall I was worried that she has been in politics for this long.  When I heard Jason was running I was really happy to finally have a candidate that I could represent a true sense of stewardship and civic responsibility!  Enough is enough with Mrs. Vasquez, my vote is for Grenn.

PS I am pretty sure but you would have to ask Jason, I remember him as an honor student and was in several advanced placement classes at Dimond, I also believe he was a varsity athlete and leader in several clubs.  He is the real deal folks!


As if Canadians were not mellow enough :)


Items such as this are not "news" anymore.


Thanks Geoff. Perhaps you read version 1 with the gremlins? And then you might have missed: 'But, let us also make no mistake these cities themselves face the challenges of inequality with many poorer people increasingly pushed to the margins of cities. In addition, housing for those on the fringes of society has become a challenge which most countries have been unable to deal with adequately. The recent Grenfell Towers incident in London is a case in point. ' I would argue however that London's parks or Central Park are not merely havens for the well-heeled.  And then the reference to developing world cities later and Habitat 2. On Sea Point, well, yes, Maiden's Cove is something I have also written about - because sometimes development decisions are overtly political. The over-arching point is that we need to be aware of creating a city for everyone, that this is not easy but we need to at least make the effort and prioritise the trade-offs. Regards, Judith
