The apology it is owed is from Canada. In 1994 Canada stood by and watched the genocidal mass slaughter of Tutsi and moderate Hutu in Rwanda by members of the Hutu majority. In a  100-day period from April 7, 1994 to mid-July, an estimated 500,000–1,000,000 Rwandans were viciously slaughtered, while Chretien and his Liberals did nothing.


Bravo Open Secrets, Bravo.

When Pope Paul VI said that the "natural object" of sexual intercourse is procreation, he was wrong. Among our closest relatives in nature, the great apes, such as gorillas, chimpanzees and especially bonobos, sex is more commonly used for pair bonding. Thus, science pokes a major hole in Pope Paul's argument.


Lori had a huge impact on the grandson I raised.   She instilled a confidence in him that grew with each year he took her class -- all four of them.  She is an amazing, kind, loving, nurturing woman and our world is better for her being in it.   I hope your future, Lori, is as wonderful as you and --- keep on dancing!!


If traveling on a two lane road, doing the posted speed limit, why should I have to pull over to yield to 5 or more vehicles behind me...delaying my trip and wasting fuel through slowing down and/or stopping?  They are breaking the law, am I not abetting their unlawful ways?  Frankly, I'm not going to do that...sorry speeders, you're just going to have to wait for a passing opportunity to break the law!


They  ran away from college because they couldn't handle the changing demographic. They are just putting themselves at a huge disadvantage in the future. Talk about cutting off you nose to spite your face.  This attitude is mirrored in many Trump supporters. Instead of adapting, they blame immigrants, refugees, minorities, women, media and the left. I certainly agree college isn't for everyone but leaving because your felling are hurt is kind of pathetic.


These people are irrelevant, hypocritical washed-up jokes.  Thanks for the chuckle Trump and ADN.


Americans do not "smirk with disgust"when Canada comes to mind.
They smile with envy. Americans I know speak glowing of how lucky we are not to be subjected to the Jerry Springer Show Presidency. That is why so many want to leave Trump Land for Canada. The Globe has had stories on the number of high-tech professionals picking Canada over the U.S. because of Trump's anti-immigration policies.
Maybe you are talking to the wrong Americans. Try speaking to some people other than coal miners.


John

I followed your Strategy Lab portfolio from day one and included some of those same equities in my portfolio.

I look forward to following your Yield Hog portfolio. I am sure it will continue to not only generate new investment opportunities but it will also continue to reinforce for me the power of dividends and dividend growth investing.

Thanks again,

Rick


Hopefully the B stands for Bankruptcy.  Then we can stop subsidizing a failed business.


It depends on your genetics and you won't know until you are given them. There is no need to be in pain after surgery, if they cut you open. If it's laproscopic you may need nothing more than a mild analgesic. If, after an open surgery, you feel really, really good or even euphoric on opiates tell your doctor and get off them as soon as possible. Do not take home a prescription! You are predisposed to addiction. There are other pain killers, and maybe a little pain is better than an opiate addiction. Those people non genetically predisposed to opiate addiction will not feel great after surgery. We feel like crap, even on opiates. They just put the pain in the background while we are nauseous and dizzy and sleepy. If Euphoric or feeling great, red flag.  If you fell crappy on morphine after surgery, you won't become addicted to it.


Actually its not - as per the previous article 100% of the costs are paid by corporate sponsors

$0 from taxpayers


That's not what 'attenuated' means, and your genetic superiority argument is purile. That means its a belief you're supposed to grow out of.


+1, but they can have both (not that I would vote for it).  It means more sprawl and higher housing prices.


Wavemaker, we've had this conversation.  It's a very small business because I can't work full-time.  Car insurance failed, but mostly the driver speeding downtown running the red light.  I do the best I can.

To be honest, I should have conformed like a good little girl and been sucking up your social security instead, but I didn't want to depend on the government like that.  I wanted to be productive.  My bad.


Hmmm, I wondered why Mr. Ballard, instead of refuting the science, would be so invested in lowering the argument to implying the David Morrison is a terrorist. Let's look up his bio and see if he had any interest in the wireless industry.....oh, my gosh......if anyone knows the technology of being a Ted Kaczynski it's Mr. Ballard:  Nigel worked as a consultant on the development of the first commercially successful PDA, namely the Palm Pilot, for CEO Donna Dubinsky, then went on to work with Sony Japan on handheld computing devices. Before moving to the USA in 2000, he managed Bluetooth globally for Cap Gemini out of France.


Donald Trump rose because he made promises he couldn't keep. And his supporters could bear the idea of a female President.


They have only spent 4.6 of the 13 billion of the infrastructure budget.


Anyone charged with a crime should be required to surrender all personal property to the State once the State makes the allegation of guilt until the person proves himself to be innocent, correct?


Correct!


Any Liberal MLA with leadership aspirations, or who just wants to serve out their term as pensionable time, will try to keep this government alive. Remember what happened when the Joe Clark government fell, and as a new leader had not yet been chosen, Pierre Trudeau won another majority and 4+ year term. Pierre had been intending on retiring annd was forced into service. Circumstances conspire!


They're not speaking because they have nothing to say. Weak form of protest in support of a "movement" based on false pretenses.


The World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument--which includes USS Bowfin Submarine Museum and Park, the Battleship Missouri Memorial, and the Pacific Aviation Museum--is under the jurisdiction of the NATIONAL Park Service.  Ige has no authority there.  Since it's a National Monument, Trump likely has ALL authority there.  However, it's good to know that there are folks like skias3779 who can speak for everyone since they know the opinions of even dead people.  Perhaps they use Ouija boards.


There seems to be a pattern to these Marian Happenings among poor folks and nuns.One can imagine people poorly feed more easily hallucinating and subject to suggestive imagining. Institutional Catholicism moved in with monuments to attract pilgrimage who will be open to group suggestion.
Interesting your first hand source to parse Lucia. Seems she was kept under house arrest?
Read a dense study on visionaries in Spain, whose title escapes me. Poverty & politics played prominently in the pious ploys of partisans. And the poor remain poorer. And the institutions rakes in pilgrim profits.
Keep on coming Mary!  You are good for religious business!


I can only imagine the look on a mother's face when the Canadian Aid worker tells her, about her 2 sick kids, "sorry, we can't save your son, only your daughter, our mandate is to help women and girls only".


It sounds like we are trying to do a better job of controlling the dosing in edibles here. The Colorado treats were way too potent - people were instructed just nibble at their cookies, which is just plain dumb.


"24 different mutual funds, including high-fee segregated funds,”" Crazy, I have 1 Balanced fund with an MER of 0.94%


It's not about not getting enough aid, or help. This is a catastrophe not seen in our lifetimes and there's really nothing to measure it with. The infrastructure was destroyed, coordination isn't happening and more than anything else there needs to be someone handling logistics that knows what they're doing. By sending a three-star general in to handle coordinating these groups in setting up a command control center will make all the difference in the world. Things will be different a week from now for these people now that the military is taking over.


What does that mean, Yellow and Pink? Asians I know are brown and seaweed is not pink so what does your statement mean?


Just a start but read my comment and get an Idea!!


The charge was incest.


We used to hang horse thieves.


Nothing like giving a quote with no source.

Are we to understand that you spoke to him yourself?


Weekly basis.  The swamp is so infested.  Unfortunately, family members are off-limits.


"Government service predicated on an understanding of the theopolitical Islamic supremacism that animates jihadists is simply out of the question. Heaven forbid that national security and foreign policy officials have any understanding of the Sharia law that both de facto and de jure governs the lives of hundreds of millions of people worldwide.

What will it take for the West to flip this script?

To date, murder, bloodshed, and fear abound. In spite of that fact, much of the West would rather cling to a narrative that makes it feel good about itself than recognize the reality of a global jihadist menace that threatens its very survival. This insane delusion will continue to have fatal consequences until we wake up."

I pretty much agree with you. This guy 'talks a real good game' but he doesn't 'walk the walk'. However, he isn't the only BNN regular with such a record...........funny how many of them have an association with Sprott. Remember those boys, Hodson and Tardif, and Sprott's disgraceful performance with Timminco?


WHILE WE'RE AT IT, why not BAN EVERYTHING that ANNOYS or STRESSES ANYONE? No one would be able to SMOKE or DRINK or HAVE SEX or USE A PHONE or OWN A GUN or DRIVE A CAR, because ALL those things VEX and BOTHER and even KILL PEOPLE.

The thing is, the word that most deserves capitalization is FREEDOM. That means you sometimes have to live with things you don't like, even if they stress or aggravate or sometimes even kill you, so that you too can be free to pursue the things of your choice.


Offering more treatment for mental illness, and making an attempt to understand the homeless community (instead of applying our standards) would go a long way towards helping solve the problem.


Ok, at first glance, it's $6 million for 20 apartments; but lets look behind that figure.

The 'Building', not just apartments, was fully renovated. That could mean a lot of things. When was the building constructed? If it's old enough, it would need earthquake retrofitting. What about asbestos? Same thing. How big is the building? Is it ONLY holding 20 apartments, or does it have ground floor offices, other offices, rental space, storage? Was it fitted with new high-efficiency windows? Doors? Major insulation upgrades? ADA upgrades? Were any of the support columns/beams having to be replaced/upgraded? What about heating systems? New boilers needed? Was the parking lot included? If so, you have to add in new landscaping requirements, drainage, etc.

It appears the idea is to run it for at least 16 years, so it looks like the building was renovated with that in mind. The price would reflect that. Analysis please?

And this looks a far better deal for Anchorage than the Taj Mahawker II!


The economy of Canada is $1.6 trillion. Are you saying several times the economy of Canada has been donated to Africa?

Do you know the difference between billion and trillion. Quick, how many zeroes in each number?


I am stunned and kind of in denial regarding trump and his impact.  ok, assuming the awful and he does beome president....he has to divest himself financially of darn near everything or is he going to be the first president to openly twist the tax laws and loopholes to avoid paying money.  this guy is so corrupt, it will be just a matter of time before he is impeached...  really, objectively look at trump....he is who he is...


Still waiting on you gun fetishes to explain to me how we are going to stop rape and murder.
I mean rape and murder still happen, yet we have laws against them.

We can continue to have this conversation, or you can stop using stupid logical fallacies.

P.S. Paranoia of a tyrannical government, is a mental illness.


There is no controversy surrounding vaccinations. It's merely an example of the left being just as prone to conspiracy theories as the right.


There is no such thing under the Constitution for 'sovereign Indian states or nations' or any euphemisms. Wikipedia is parroting back faux federal common law not supported by the Constitution.
As of the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, there are no more "Indians" within the original meaning of the Constitution...only U.S./State citizens with "Indian ancestry/race" entitled to no more and no less than every other non-Indian U.S./State citizen.  Politicians are lying to the citizenry of the United States.


Most especially when the business you're going about when out of the office is that of undermining your boss!


This is not a fake, made-up situation.  As a retired therapist, I've seen this time and time again. Although I don't believe counselling or therapy is the answer for every human problem, in this instance some sessions with an experienced couples counsellor to clarify the issues, to translate each partner to the other, and to improve their communication would be the best preventive medicine.  Alternatively, it could reveal that they are fundamentally unsuited to each other and they might have to accept they made a mistake and move on. I've known couples who had a disastrous start to their marriage, followed by a rocky few years, but twenty years later are thriving, having learned to see things through their partner's eyes, to empathize, and to put coupledom ahead of short term individual interest (which can be maintained and even enhanced in a good relationship).


No.

The breach of California law would be a breach of criminal law to the extent someone telling Anne Coulter to shut up  made a threat.

Simply telling Anne Coulter to shut up and leave town s not illegal unless said by the STATE


I spent one year monitoring drug busts, deciding where to go to escape Texas. Denver P.D. and much of CO has the highest rate of heroin/meth busts. The cartels will continue to try and saturate CO, but I will bet every dime I have, they will not devour CO the way they have TX, AZ and CA. CO won't have it. You made an excellent choice. CO isn't just beautiful, most of it's residents are educated/smart and it's classy, fully intent on staying that way.


More lies from the nutbar deep ecology cafe.


Not a "shoestring budget" at all.

Tod True and the not-so-true legal gang are charging huge hourly rates and making many millions through what has become a very profitable enviro litigation industry. Especially the business of holding-up public timber sales until they are paid huge settlement fees like the $340,000 collected over an Elliott timber sale inside the 1500 acres that the state then sold to Seneca.

The sale of the whole Elliott is just the start. The short sighted, self serving actions of the enviro attorneys are setting it up for the timber industry's politicians to justify privatizing more public forests.

Wyden and DeFazio have already sought to do this with the westside BLM forests. With Oregon's Dems giving away the Elliott, I expect they will now be more empowered.


It's time to use some common sense. Build to middle Street and stop. You probably could even think about changing it from rail to buses  since the rail system is a total waste of money and will need a lot of maintenance.

These elected Officials are just a bunch of donkeys who don't want to take a stand and demand accountability. They are all part of the problem here in Hawaii.


I love how liberals bring up red herrings when the issue of abortion is raised. What, precisely, does social security, medicare, medicaid, food programs, healthcare, maternity and the like have to do with the right to life?

The right to life is a fundamental right.  That right does not come from government. The right to life simply exists. We all have it by virtue of the fact that we exist.  The government cannot take away that right--the role of government is to defend and protect that right.

Social security, food programs, healthcare, etc, are not fundamental.  Those things can be granted by government--and they can be taken away by government. We can debate whether government should cut them or take them away---but they have nothing whatever to do with pro-life/abortion.

I mean---you don't really mean to suggest that women have a fundamental right to kill their children because of cuts to healthcare do you?


It's a new business and industry. These are great numbers just for starting. Growers haven't had several full seasons to build up supply yet.


you are full of poo!!!!!


Just think how long would "Dear Black People" show last before BLM start marching?


When the institutional Church teaches the hogwash that is Humanae Vitae, when it treats women as second class members,  when it actively discriminates against gays, when it covers up clerical abuse of children, when it excommunicates the divorced and remarried, when the Vatican is shown to have hundreds of millions in slush funds, when it actively lies to us , why do should people listen?

Two of my sons have rejected the Church. I didn't cause it, the institutional Church did.


No, it's not.  It's a duty to speak out when the President is unfit.  You can stay silent if you want.  And you obviously want.


Human Caused Climate Change is the single biggest threat facing us today.
Exxon knew of this in their own study over 40 years ago. The damage already done to our planet by the Republican Party in halting or hindering attempts to reduce carbon emissions is incalculable. Big Oil and thier bought and paid for politicians have knowingly committed crimes against humanity for decades and should be held accountable for what they have already done. But instead they are now in control of the most powerful and influential country on earth. The damage the Big Oil Russian Republican Party is capable of doing controlling Congress, the Courts as well as the Presidency is beyond comprehension. Our only hope is that the Global Community will keep the USA in check.

They have aged out of pastoral responsibility.  They have no stake in the answer or question.  They are acting like the pharisees that pestered Christ.


We must be using different calculators. Mine says that $2732 divided by 12 comes to $228 per month.


KarenInAK:  ....that they use to make more money as their corporate logo, correct.
.
And to clarify: W.F. Bank STILL uses several, working horse-drawn wagons around the country.  In fact, they brought one up to Alaska when they took over National Bank of Alaska, and were giving rides as a promo to smooth over our local bank getting taken over.


That game showed a lot about the pressure of September baseball. Almost blew the game on defensive plays by Arenado and LeMahieu; two gold glovers.

As an aside, that was torture to watch. Nerve-wracking.


And hypocrisy


Being retired I have watched many documentaries on the subject. Number 1 is the fact that about 120,000 years ago all but 600 people were killed outright in the world. Thus limiting out DNA. Mainly ones in Africa were left. As rain-forest to desert to rain-forest cycles progressed over centuries man lost his hair/fur. This enable him to run long distances and even leave the continent - hence spreading around the world. Well it is not quite that cut and dried .. but close.


Daniel Donkel: I only hate oil when it slurps up on the beach, smothers otters and cormorants, decimates ecosystems. Oil in my car is fine thank you very much.

You are fringe and reactionary. You are the best player on the pro-environment team.


Learn how to construct an argument, idiot.


Why would such an obviously gifted person want to be a lawyer?


And you of course thought that was going to happen immediately after Trump was elected, right?


Foreigners trying to make people think they're American.


The Legislature just put man panties on Cadwell and Menor and they now telling the city how to fund its projects (no spending on Blaisdell) and run its budget (spend $13 million a year on rail funding). Any tax that furthers this ridiculous rail project is a bad idea. But it's fun to see Mufi on tv crying about the taxes HE CAUSED and now let's watch Cadwell turn tricks in Chinatown dressed as a woman with his man panties on - dance, Cadwell, dance. He said he'll do anything for rail the heck with the consequences. What a loon!!!


That's the cost of doing business isn't it, Researchers?  Sorry but I don't have any empathy for anyone that owns a business and they have to pay taxes.  All the communities in southeast Alaska have been paying a sales tax (5-7%) since time immemorial.  The locals understand that if they want a certain level of services they have to help pay for them; unlike Anchorage that has the largest population in the state and never have paid a sales tax.


I don't know the ins and outs of CMC's situation so I can't say where I stand on this particular situation, I guess you must. It's easy for you post your comment. Do you believe that our cumulative tax rates should be 40, 50, 60, 70 or more. What's reasonable to you?


You go David Leavitt. I was born in Andersen way back when Alaska was a Territory and whew! Our city sales tax, state income tax and borough school tax of 100 bucks (only from of our first paycheck) every year was a gnarly bugger to hump. Soon after big oil and Juneau started fire-hosing cubic dollars at every community I felt like a cheat to have all 3 taxes nixed.
I hate ALL taxes, but I love the big 907 Alaska much, much more. So let's put on our big-boy panties and just cut out the tax checks, then go AK dudes: where we "can't be too fat or too drunk." (The Simpsons)
I now tell my rowdy party animal friends we'll have to trim our respective household budgets. We all won't have to drink less, but our obese children will have to eat less.


First, well done LEO's!
Second, bad criminals! Bad bad!  They ignored gun laws and even possessed stolen, so unregistered to them, guns!
 Who woulda thunk ... (eyeroll)

Re "35 firearms, including several stolen weapons and a machine gun"


or gasp, it is not sin - especially if it is not,.


His popularity skyrocketed for me.  He's the only politician who has demonstrated any backbone to make the hard, unpopular calls on our budget train wreck.  Every single member of the legislative majority, and probably some from the minority as well, should be fired in 17 days.  Unfortunately not all of those in the senate are up for reelection this year.  Mark down their names for elimination in 2018.


Trudeau lied to all Canadians in the last election campaign.

Shame on you shiny pony!

SHAME!!!


I guess it says they are trying to keep the country running, correct?


He should leave the country too! Plus, maybe take Rosie and Cathy with him.


Another professorial article descending from ivory tower academe to the mere sheeple below.... mostly devoid of useful content.

What is the alternative .... please enlighten us. An alternative that will not destroy our economies and infrastructure. It is not simply a matter of phasing out fossil fuels - but to find an economically viable low CO2 alternative for heating, transport, electricity generation 24/7 and base load capable. If our universities are supposed places of critical thinking and innovation then this article rates a FAIL ! It is atrivial accomplishment to write about what should be. How about spending some time to propose what might be .... written by a STEM expert.

And please don't recycle the current Green Energy fiascoes as experienced by Germany and Ontariowe !!


It's just another in what will become a very long list of Junior's failures.


I hate giving away good ideas for free but how about creating an "edited" comment section where the editor selects quality comments for a point-counterpoint debate? Non-selected comments would be placed in an adjoining trash/waiting bin still accessible to  the readers.


ADN, could you tell us if our own ethics- challenged Congressman, voted on this?


He actually testified under oath that nothing like that happened.

Watching liberals grind their gears trying to find dirt where none exists is becoming sport at this point. The Democratic Party is quickly becoming a thing kids will only read about in history books, like the Whigs.


I hope Ms Morrow will be equally insistent that the rights violation of the next victim of her client be dealt with so effectively.


This strikes me as wishful thinking. As Motley points out in his comment here, most Trump voters continue to believe in him. They believe and approve of his tweets, forgive the contradictions, believe the only collusion is the rest of the world against Trump, and either tacitly approve of or don't believe his racism. They oppose immigration and immigrants. They oppose regulations to protect consumers and the environment. They approve of Trump's foreign policy interactions. We can also see that clearly in comments here in the R-G. I'm very worried that in our country we have multiple realities and alternate versions of facts, and even truth. These divisions are very dangerous. How will Trump supporters react to a constitutional challenge, if it does come?


Waiting to see which way the wind blows.....


There will be plenty of insurance companies, and plenty of plans with many options for you to choose from...
The only difference is you have to pay for it now.


As far as I am aware, uranium recovery from the Witwatersrand gold mines ceased many years ago, largely on economic considerations.  With the current decline in nuclear weaponry, the world-wide demand for uranium is considerably below production capacity, and serious doubts have been expressed about the commercial feasibility of any local uranium mining, even considering the once-off fuelling demand for the proposed new SA reactors, plus their (fairly small) annual fuel top-ups.


If they do not need the income, they can either place their shares on dividend reinvestment or allow the cash dividends to accumulate and periodically use the cash to invest where they see fit a the time.
If they do need the income, they simply cash the dividend cheques.
Either way, this type of dividend portfolio can work or them.


Women programmers and mathematicians in soviet union were not uncommon either.

There is the need to fit everyone in a one size fits all box, but that is impractical. People are different.


What did Trudeau have?   You are so correct about shallow left voters.


40 billion is too much money to spend trying to hit a bullet half the time or to impress you.


If collecting everyone's "public" records were such a nothingburger, you'd think the Trump gang would just gather them up themselves rather than collude with the Colorado Secretary of State to vacuum them up directly.


I base my comment, “in all likelihood” guilty, on what evidence was presented in the original story of the encounter.  That and the fact that he was, at least in his own mind, a big testosterone filled stud on a sports team.   Life displays the all too common scenario.  I say so based on real life, not the courtroom.  My opinion and nothing more.

Although certainly not the whole story I am sure, I have sat on enough grand juries and trials to know that "all" evidence is not always presented because of legal challenges outside of the courtroom.  But be that as it may, he was acquitted and apparently the PC, feminist police want to 'punish' him.  Totally wrong.


White grad assistant.  Is that what you were hoping for?  A quick Google search.


Definitely front page worthy.


Excellent response, graykeeper. I wish others in the discussion shared your sensibility.


There is no doubt that there has been massive civilian casualties and suffering.   But why the selective morality on the part of G & M editors?  Why no front page coverage of what the US and its puppet government in Bagdhad are doing in Mosul?  Are there no civilian caualties there?

More damning, of course, is the propagandistic narrative so typical of the Globe and other mainstream media.  Why no mention of the support the US, SA, Turkey and Israel have provided to "rebel" groups?  These are no rebels, of course, but mercenaries, or terrorists, that were installed to overthrow the Assad regime and destroy Syria as was done in Iraq and Libya.  The very same al Qaida types who were responsible for 9-11.


You can't have it both ways. Either you believe God admires those who speak from their conscience or not. If so neither you or I or any church can judge whether God agrees with the protestor or not. Jesus, a known protestor, said "Judge not lest ye be judged".


Yeah...Roy...Bill Cosby hasn't been found guilty of raping anyone either yet the width and breadth of the allegations are comparable.  Hillary has viciously attacked every single female that has accused her "husband" of misconduct, while simultaneously "claiming" to be a feminist.  The two things are mutually exclusive.  She is out for herself period.  Perhaps the most self-aggrandizing politician of all time.


Yawn.


The laws seem to be forcing expansion on people who may not want it.

How do places like Detroit handle these growth laws...or do they just apply to areas in states such as Oregon that haven't been as damaged and over-populated yet?


Canada's demands aren't even trade-related....kind of strange for a trade negotiation process.    They are more about social engineering (an entirely different agenda).    Is it ceding control of the agenda to the US to actually focus on trade/tariffs at trade negotiations?  After all, they aren't negotiating a new North American Unified Social Engineering Agreement (NAUSEA).

It's like bringing hockey pucks to the ballpark.  The Americans must be annoyed; the Mexicans must be confused (or amused).


"....no-spray buffer zones in agriculture while spraying restaurants, cafeteria, food warehouses and retail is unremarked...."

Thanks for pointing out the hypocrisy and inconsistencies of regulations.

"adaptation to traces of 'toxics' is part of nature"

Many times mutations are the result of toxic chemicals becoming pollutants, inadvertently or because of human design. The legacy of man-made chemicals causing humans mutations is not pretty..

By all means, be a supplicate as possible when in the presence of one's betters ... especially if they are armed and about to mess themselves due to fear as they approach your vehicle ...


The malignant narcissist, mentally warped sociopath, pathological liar and draft dodger, has now revealed himself to be not only a bigot and racist, but a closet fascist. The man spews nothing but excrement from his stinking swamp and proclaims himself president. He is nothing more than a disgusting, semi-ignorant, loud-mouthed fool in an empty suit. The sooner he is thrown out of the WH, the sooner this country can truly be great again.

What trump tweeted when it appears that Romney had won the popular vote in 2012(he didn't):

"He(Obama) lost the popular vote by a lot and won the election. We should have a revolution in this country!

The phoney electoral college made a laughing stock out of our nation. The loser one!

We can’t let this happen. We should march on Washington and stop this travesty. Our nation is totally divided!

Lets fight like hell and stop this great and disgusting injustice! The world is laughing at us.

More votes equals a loss…revolution!

This election is a total sham and a travesty. We are not a democracy!"


What a christian attitude. She fled for her life, she put in paperwork 7 years ago.


You only own the surface estate and pay taxes on that.
You don't own the mineral estate (oil, gas, gold, ) except under limited circumstances as Diamond Ridge Curmudgeon pointed out.


Wonderful article about wonderful people!! Happy travels! 😍


"Donald Trump impersonates a president, and gets away with it."
.
The Globe notes that he "...  painted a false picture of a country besieged by drugs, criminals and terrorists. ..."
.
Well, gosh, Stephen Harper did the same thing, yet the Globe endorsed his impersonation of a Prime Minister ...
.
.... four times in a row !
.
The Globe's criticisms of Trump may be entirely accurate, but they, and even more so the Globe's indignation, are a bit hard to swallow when the Globe fails to acknowledge that it has been an enabler of the very same kind of polarising behaviour that has brought us to this point.


Yet he refuses to have a town hall and meet with his constituents.  He refuses to open the door to his Issaquah office during business hours.  He wants to take away people's health insurance.  He also refuses to listen to his district and ignores their views to further endear himself to Republican Leadership and Donald Trump.  It's time to throw the bum out.


Time to flag yourself as a hate monger.


Gosh, can you imagine what it would have been like if this had happened when Burke was there!


Great post! I am actually getting ready to across this information, is very helpful my friend. Also great blog here with all of the valuable information you have. Keep up the good work you are doing here.

So was Meredith another Harper appointee?
If so, one has to appreciate the Machiavellian genius of populating the upper chamber with so much moral hazard as to almost destroy it....


Most of these faith based facilities were forced into being funded by gov't when medicare was adopted. Many wanted to remain independent, but the governments would no license them as healthcare facilities unless they submitted to the Ministry Of Health for funding and regulation.


I mean you are supposedly a professional, so I think you mean well. But how about look at this from a poor persons perspective. We get it. Rich / priveledged ppl get great healthcare everywhere. And if you do not understand that your circumstance is not representative of at least 80% of the country (over 50% of the US workforce makes less than 30k/yr), then you'll never understand Bernie. My Dad was denied cancer treatment with US private insurance and passed away as result. But I don't get to say, "see." You have to look at facts. And the US doesn't come close to number one anywhere in healthcare. Why not mention that? And it costs nearly 3x amount for simple things, like a doctors visit and shots. Other single payer countries are beating us in QUALITY. Fact is, we pay more for less, and 46k/yr die from no healthcare. So you had to wait a bit? not so bad. Poor ppl in the US have to do that now


Agree, it's important for the public to know the truth behind the madness. Cronies have a tendency to "jump ship" when they know it is sinking.  And this ship has a big hole in it.


Tony Heard’s engrossing personal Kgosana piece is memory-evoking.

At a Lady Selborne High School, Pretoria matric farewell ceremony in 1956 I was deeply impressed by headboy Philip Kgosana’s address showing great leadership qualities. I was 23, working on my PhD; Philip 20: a situation sadly still the norm. In 1960 he burst onto the public stage leading the massive march of people nearly twice his age in ill-fitting borrowed shoes to Caledon Square, Cape Town.

In exile he dropped below my horizon but re-appeared in an article in The Star, 10 October 2016 tracked down to where he was living in Pretoria. With a contemporary friend I found Kgosana’s phone number. It was answered by his charming wife Alice. With my wife we met them on 28 December in their very gracious home in a far-flung north-western mixed suburb. The intended courtesy visit stretched into three-and-a-half hours ending with lunch on their unusual farm products.

Contd……


C'mon PCan, how about a grudging "well done".


Interesting only if you're someone who likes to scrutinize people's every move and make an issue out of something as trivial as how people respond to dinner invitations.

For the who knows how many times, posting a gain that there a re 30 teams in the NHL, a nd only 6 of them have a less than .500 record.  So judging a team by its record, give your head a good shake.

Better indicator is goal diff.  Only 13 teams have a + gd, with Bos even.  That sounds much more right.  That's not counting the SO.

A warding loser points, deciding games 3-on-3 or, horror of horrors in a SO, dramatically distorts a team's quality, a nd distorts the standings.

The NHL could somewhat mitigate the disaster that is the loser pt by making reg wins worth 3 points, which is sensible, a s winning in reg is worthier than winning in a SO or 3-on-3, or 4-on-3 should a team get a PP in OT.

But the NHL is a ll a bout sizzle, not steak, and a gullible public, so many of whom only care a bout the crest on the jersey, don't get it and probably never ever will.

The only people disrespecting our country are racists, slave owners, modern day Republicans, dirty cops, and those who are so indoctrinated as to think not saluting a flag is disrespecting the country. And the only people confused are you and your ilk.


I'm sure the suspect is well-acquainted with the law...all the more reason the officer should not have lost control of that gentleman after he had already established control by putting him in handcuffs. And why should not the police be aware that police procedures are so "predictable?" What you say reflects poorly on the officer...who apparently allowed himself to be distracted from a cop-wise perp. All I said was that the officer lost control of a suspect over whom he had already established control. All you are doing is making excuses for the officer....for "losing control of the situation."

Her shirt reminds me of an article published elsewhere that described the perfect "non-sexist" community.

It was populated only by women.


You have, from a distance,  generated quite a set of "alternative facts" ...that would be wrong.   There is nothing "vague" if you have been paying attention and reading what has actually been said over the course of over 350 comments,  several from people who actually live here and know the real facts.  Speculation is not the same as knowing the facts.   But no doubt you will continue to believe what you choose to believe regardless of facts.


Some parents are just losers that raise losers and society hopes that they don't run into them at the wrong time.


Maybe now JT is beginning to realize that Trump has played him for a fool. Make no mistake, Trump clearly intended all along to put the screws to Canada and recent US decisions regarding Bombardier and softwood lumber make that obvious.


you are an idiot,, tell us loser what has he done that warrents that fantasy


The headline...at least the online headline...incorrectly referenced a teacher as the subject of the allegedly mishandled investigation. The article reveals it was not a teacher, but an aide who was fired for mistreating the student. The editor in charge of writing headlines for the ADN ought to know the difference.


Arms length from the Beijing  CP please--we can sell oil and gas and stuff but we should not sell our industries out- they are not our friends and we should not be their patsies. One day the people of China might wake up from their stupor and realize consumerism is not enough and freedom is more important- if not shame on them. The Communist Party fears this more than anything.


I am not an advocate of government intervention but if you think Toronto and Vancouver operate in a vacuum and they have no affect on the rest of Canada you are dreaming

The only other "victim" around is the donald.  I guess it will come down to who can make the most noise being the  huuuuuugest victim, and then they will declare themselves the winner.  #MAGA  lol


thank you motley.......you, with your post, highlight the difficulty in discussing this issue.  You seem to suggest that anyone opposed to kids playing football is somehow emasculating them.  Football is a "manly" sport and carries with it tremendous status for high school boys.  It's not surprising that over a million young men (and a few young women) play high school football each year.

I would suggest that the possibility of lifelong brain damage from playing football far, far outweighs the possible emotional damage and sexual role identification issues from NOT playing football.  Additionally, of course, were there not football, these same kids would be playing other very active and, at the same time, less damaging sports....so their masculinity might still be saved (thank goodness)....(that's a little sarcasm at the end, by the way)   Gary Crum


There is a solution, but it's somewhere in the middle where no one wants to go. Dallas did a great job. They protested as a team, owner included. Then they were able to stand and show  respect for those who are represented by the flag. Protest noted, respect for those who are represented by the flag noted. Game on and most people were happy.

Now, if the Cowboys organization goes the next step and brings police, players, and communities together to work toward mutual understanding then all of this will have meant something. Until then, it's just more of the same back and forth that gets us nowhere.

To be clear, I'm not advocating that anyone become a Cowboys' fan, that would be ridiculous. I'm saying that even dingbat squirrels get an acorn every once in a while.

Some words there loaded with differing emotional baggage. "male" is the only one I find unambiguous - and not everyone would agree on that.


Miss Machado can lose weight.  Being a whiney, sore loser is a personality trait.


A few years ago, there was a pothole on the road in front of my house. It was there for a couple of months. I finally got fed up with trying to avoid it. In the middle of the night, I planted a small mango tree to fill the pothole... in a couple of days, a crew came to repair it... Maybe this is what we all need to do with potholes in our streets to get them fixed...


I don't deny my privilege.

I surely don't know what you mean by the 'right kind of feminism'--the far 'right'? I like Hillary; I'm with her. I'm guessing that makes me one of those kinds of women.

Thank you Ian  Bailey...Justine Hunter and, peripherally Gary Mason as well as Michael Smyth of the Province for finally tying up this sorry tale which started with BC Liberal incompetence in the management of THEIR OWN WEBSITE (disclosing personal information about their own supporters), proceeded through a series of Trump like lies and false news before finally rebounding with a thunk on Ms Clark's own doorstep. Unfortunately, many low information BC voters will have taken the wrong message from this debacle but it gives me pleasure to say, for once, that the traditional media has shown its value to a free and democratic society.


Either you get it or you do not.  If you don't then all that I feel for you is sorrow and gratitude that I am not limited in that way.


Not even remotely,

…but you did demonstrate the inane level of cognitive dissonance required in order to maintain and demonstrate exactly the right wing hypocrisy that was so aptly presented in the comment you replied to.

Not even another different Russian bot could have done better.


No.  But the electoral college delegates can change their minds and vote for someone reputable...


@RangerMC says: "If that is true, then he (Mr Obama) learned expertly how to use semantics to communicate."

This neatly sums up the alt-right's Orwellian position that meaning (semantics) is the enemy.

In contrast, the sane world still believes useful statements convey meaning.


Absolutely hilarious coming from someone who doesn't know how to shut up...


"They are putting together a responsible pan.."  What nonsense. We have a workable affordable plan with the ACA. Republicans have nothing to replace it with, because the ACA, like Romneycare in Massachusetts, was a Republican plan worked out by the Republican "think tank", the Heritage Foundation. It's a Republican plan. Republicans have nothing except the ACA, and if they kill it, tens of millions of Americans will lose health insurance, which in the US means any kind of decent health care. If you swallow the crap oozing out of the 135th Congress, you are truly a bag head.

I think you are correct.  I have been doing that a  lot lately, since I can't block that kinda carp.


And lets not forget that Brad Wall and most of his brain trust were staff with the Grant Devine government...that took an NDP balanced budget or series thereof..the best public finances in Canada...and within 2 terms of government literally bankrupted the province....some 14 billion in debt. More of the same.


Apparently you missed the point of my reply to Oiljar.


TDW,

EV sales are growing 15 times faster than sales of non-EV cars. That makes an enormous difference over time. EV sales are growing, if you like, 1400% faster than non-EV sales. That's reality. Again, we've both spent too long here. You can have the pleasure of the last post(s).


Kotongan--Trump hasn't stopped making such comments and Republicans/his supporters--including you--knew it or should have known it. Therefore it's no wonder you aren't surprised and continue to defend him just as he has continued to make lewd, derogatory and misogynistic comments and continued to behave like the sexual predator he has always been.   He has been accused of rape in the past, and not only by his wife. But even if that weren't enough and assuming it's all lie (which everyone knows is untrue) he's still a poor excuse for a human being, much less a presidential candidate. Those who support him support and reflect his base values.  That's really all I need to know about you.


Apparently the bishops who oversaw these horrible cases did not see it as purely black and white as they mostly attempted to protect the priest and condemn the child and family who would report it.


I hope they get this built. It might give me a reason to go to Glendale.


She is sane, and knows that what she is doing is morally bankrupt.

I assume $5 billion would be conventional diesel commuter rail with a max speed of 79 mph. And the $15 billion estimate would be for high speed electric commuter rail simular to Amtraks northeast corridors Accela trains which have a max speed of 150 mph.

Here's the thing, spend less and it will be a waste. 79 mph diesel trains running 2-4 times a day won't be popular. Even though it only costs $5 billion from Pueblo to Fort Collins which isn't bad on a cost per mile basis, it 2ill be too slow and not frequent enough to attract riders; making it a waste.

Of you spend $15 billion and get 150 mph train a that run 12 times a day, then you have something faster than driving and frequent enough you can easily integrate it into your schedule. The ridership would be much higher; thus making it more viable and worth the investment.

So I must warn either do high speed rail, or don't do it at all. Anything less than high speed rail will be a waste of money.


So Tim, in 6 months we will have a study that says the Pipe will cost an additional $1-2 billion to finish engineering and such?  You stated that so simply, as if it's easy money. Who's gonna pay that? The State of Alaska?  With what?  We have no money.  Maybe we can borrow some of our money back from AIDEA who holding Alaskans money in  huge cash reserves in their accounts. My assumption is that the cost of the pipeline before a shovel enters the ground is around $100 billion and likely much more.

By the time this is thought out, our oceans will have warmed enough to put the export facility at the north slope, thus no need for a pipe across the state.

Wow.

I mean, just wow.

Talk about missing the forest for the trees.

Hello, professor, you do not need a fancy math equation with percentage plots of house value to land value.

What you need are two words that appear nowhere in your discussion.

And those two words are Feng Shui.

About 98 percent of houses on the west side made it, intact, from 1940 to 1980, a 40 year period.

Then suddenly, in the mid to late 1980s, the demolitions began en masse, and after just three decades, many city blocks have more than 50 percent of old stock houses demolished, gone, with big new houses up, too large for the yard proportions and absent nearby trees.

Feng Shui.

Hint: The cultural/religious belief systems of a culture/ethnicity on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, it wants big new houses with bling and flash and no nearby trees and no hauntings or bad vibes of previous owners.

And also no number "6"s in the street address, but lots of 8's are good.

No need for percentage ratios...


OK , so someone's hungry and the other's got too much food ...Mankind's had thousands of years to even  things out.... Do you see any progress? The sun will die before human barriers disappear


That's how to cross creeks...in shorts and what look like wet shoes. Keeps the regular pants and boots dry.


Lana, you related to Professor Trelawney, the seer who predicted Harry Potter's premature death?


Junior cannot give preferential treatment to companies and force people to buy more expensive products.  The manufacturers using wind/solar power cannot compete.

Medically necessary services are not supposed to be bundled with private pay, that is.  For example, if a doctor refers a patient for a surgical consultation, which is what happened in Ms. Guthrie's case.

This lady will take issue with ANYTHING Trump says.  He could offer her a million dollars and she’ll find fault somewhere.  This is the kind of person that has an agenda and will do whatever it takes to cause more hate and dissection.


Ah-ha <bullsh**t> ah-choo!


It's true that Bannon isn't technically the president, but he's helping Trump become an even bigger criminal than he is, so Trump may yet catch up.


My definition of "Progressive" is favoring big government solutions, wealth transfer to achieve more equal outcomes, massive vote-buying Ponzi Schemes like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid that require more people paying in as the population ages, and programs for the poor like Housing Subsidies, the EITC, SNAP and WIC (several of which were implemented by Progressive Republicans), paying for deficits with debt instead of more taxes, because you get votes with handouts and lose votes with taxes.  Brilliant economists that the Progressives are, they also gave us birth control and abortion to pull the rug out from under the Ponzi schemes by cutting the birth rate in half.

What's your definition?

The only Republican Presidents we've had who weren't Progressives were Harding, Coolidge, and Reagan, and Reagan had to compromise with a Democrat House all 8 years.  The rise of Progressivism in this country coincided with the rise of Communism, and their planks are similar.


Oh, I know it was directed at Purg, but having asked her the same question for years and never receiving an answer, I just thought I'd put my two cents in. You'd be surprised if you  got a chance to talk to some of the nutters in my town who hold some very irrational views on race and gender, including the role of women, based on what they were taught by their pastors' and parents' religious views. Is it purely based upon that? Probably not but, in their minds, that's how they justify it.  They don't think they need to go beyond that. The Bible is All to them. Scary! And I have to live here! Love and Hugs, Empress!!!


Where is the proof Regional's plan was"markedly" different? Why not release the cost comparison? Maybe facilities should be required to turn away the patients that are NOT major trauma and life threatening. Too many people use an emergency room as an urgent care or physician office. Wait times would be less and visit cost would be less for the patient and the insurance company.


It was a sarcastic comment that I somewhat regretted after writing it. Sen. French was never in the Marine Corps. He was enrolled briefly in Marine PLC in college and tried to use that brief time when affiliated (barely) with the Corps as "military experience (" I was in the Marine Corps") during several of his campaigns. He was dragged over the talk radio coals; especially by Rick Ridell, for taking this great license.

I found it sickening to hear the TSN announcers this weekend gushing about a goal Matthews scored this weekend. Let look at it. All he did was extend his stick outward, the puck deflected into the net. To hear these bottom feeders announcers, it was like the second coming of Christ. Please people, settle down, it was a deflection. They were even talking about his superhuman strength to be able to accomplish such an easy deflection. Are you kidding me.
The Laff land is so focused on trying to find a hero that they are getting into the stupid territory.

Thank you.  I appreciate the clarification.
I see I have a few grammatical errors in my earlier post.  Not sure if it is from my auto corrections or just me.  Probably just me.


A breeze??  You're too willing to dismiss justice for victims of sexual assault as though we as a society shouldn't be troubled by having to convict rapists because, you know, it's just the women who are the victims (mostly) so why should anyone care? The only one doing the flapdoodling here is you.


I agree--the argument about percentage of emissions is irrelevant. You can always compare yourself to the worst polluter, but that doesn't absolve you from responsibility.

I also agree with applying the golden rule with regard to future generations (I would add some non-human as well). The golden rule is a kind of empathy--you imagine how you might feel in a situation faced by others.


Evangelicals did have their candidate- Ted Cruz.  You could not change their minds. It was Ted or nobody. They did not care that Ted's wife was a bankster who worked for J.P. Morgan and currently works for Goldman Sachs. Nor did they care that Ted's wife was on the steering committee for the North American Union. And they really did not care that Ted was a Canadian up til about 2 years ago.

So.. The choice evangelicals have today- Trump who appears genuine or Hillary who has a long list of dead bodies, supports abortion, and is a loose trigger.  As the damning emails are released on the DNC and Hillary in particular, the choice is not really hard.  American or a Stalin wannabe.. Make your choice.

Good informative essay by writers Morrow and Cardoso. I don't live in Onario, but if I did, I would be voting against the Wynne Liberal government in the next election.


Ooh, an opinion by the Post.  I must immediately change my views.  Hillary could burn down an orphanage filled with transgendered children of color and beat them with Gibson guitars as they came running out and the Post would still giver her their support.


Nasty.   Just.......nasty.


Agreed.


The Canadian government is not noted for proactive management on the lumber file. When the Americans cannot build homes because there is no lumber, political hell is in store for Washington. If the U.S. decides to add a 20% levy on Canadian lumber, then the short term solution is for the Canadian government to intervene by creating a serious shortage,one way or another, so that the political pain would be a serious detriment to the 20% levy on Canadian-sourced lumber. One way to do this would be to put an equivalent levy on the exports, so the cost of building would shoot up. Fast. Also why should the Yanks get all the money? The levy could be used to compensate displaced workers, compensate the industry, stockpile lumber, etc. But by putting up the cost of construction in the U.S. their housing industry would suffer dramatically, and job losses would be on the table. Oh dear!


I would immediately get a firearm if I heard my dog bark and then several shots fired. Coming upon the scene of my dead dog and an armed man would definitely make me fear for my life as well and I would not stop shooting until the threat is neutralized.

What about all these blacks in gangs; do you listen to the lyrics of rap music? It is all about killing, violence and crime and yes supremacy !


There is little to no evidence of your claim. Millions of healthy Americans are paying a penalty rather than the thuggishly aggressive Obamacare coverage: birth control for post menopausal women, chiropractic care, smoke Enders. Meanwhile, true catastrophic care is limited because there are so few affordable options. Democrats have nothing but spending our money and dividing us: black against white, women against men, rich against poor. Medicaid expansion does nothing to improve the health of our nation, 2016 was the first year to see life expectancy decrease (!), and since the top 1%, which though despite lavish incomes both Bernie Sanders and Barack Obama managed to escape the appropriate tax rate, pay the most taxes should get the most cuts.


What are you talking about? This has been going on for years. The North Koreans shot down a US EC-121 unprovoked years ago killing 31 US servicemen. The Republican in the White House at the time did absolutely NOTHING.


Stupid pesky pop-up Robotics ad. Get rid of it ya silly newspaper company!


"You didn't realize you were naming teams associated with Baltimore?!"
Actually, no.  I have never followed sports at any level.  I feel fortunate not to have accidentally compared a football team to a baseball team.

This article emphasizes one of the reasons why I love living in rural Alberta - no traffic. I probably drive more kilometres than drivers in Toronto or Vancouver but I would bet that I spend less time sitting in my F-150 with its engine running than do urban drivers. I am a bit surprised that Calgary's Deerfoot Trail does not appear on the 'most congested' list. I have been stuck in the 'Deerfoot parking lot' more than a few times.


She's got it backwards. It's the legislature that has acted in a way, that is inconsistent with the best financial choices. Somebody's got to be the adult here, and that's the governor.

As a consumer advocate for hearing care in Canada, I've spent the last couple years working on a plan to bring high quality, affordable hearing aids and related in-person services to the Ontario marketplace.  Hearing loss affects 10% of the population but only 1 out of 5 people with hearing loss purchase hearing aids.  The industry claims that those who don't buy are just not ready.  I believe it's more a question of cost/benefit for the "private pay" consumer.  Read more at HearingClinics101.org


Well what is the conservative fun that I'm leaving out? The fairgrounds and Knight arena have country music, and country events; what exactly goes for conservative fun in a city, or what is exclusively liberal about good food, for example?


Hey ms.amylou, you are rude, you call names, you are mean spirited much of the time, as are most Trump supporters.  I haven't seen you telling your nasty buddies to stop their nasty little jabs.  You can start with Nick Travis and waveamaker. 99.9%of the comments I review on here are "mean spirited" remarks by Trump supporters so don't presume to lecture me.  Got it?


Trump = legal tax loopholes
Hillary = illegal dealings with Clinton foundation and 'pay for play' access to state dept.


I's not fair to impose your views or mistakes on everyone else. Everyone is not the same and just as she state's the doctor had good intentions. ..his own intension may have an adverse effeCT ...on opioid  pain management.  I am on management and because of all the media hype..people who need it are already struggling to simply maintain their own legitimate pain management. . I have  a  human right to maintain my own medical needs. There doesn't need to be anice iron fisthe over doctors head..merely education.    This infuriates me....I want to sue assholes trying to use my body as a pin cushion to avoid prescribing opiods..doctors should not have to live in fear. .thus being forced into substandard care...what's good or right for one person isn't for another. .and shouldn't be forced to live in agony because of laws created by healthy people who have never experienced pain..


I notice Ohio Dan who had his military discipline going now has a pot belly.


It's only sport. It shouldn't be taken too seriously. It's ENTERTAINMENT people! E. Bouchard & these other (overpaid) tennis players make more money than the average person makes in a year (etc.)! If I was ranked 60th in the tennis world I would be ecstatic! (that makes ONLY 59 other people better than Bouchard!) She has plenty of time after her tennis career to deal with real life. Let Bouchard enjoy her time as a tennis player for crying out loud! She is a VERY good CANADIAN tennis player. Canadian tennis fans can be very PROUD of her! Professional athletes' careers are short enough. Cathal Kelly since you love to do nothing but criticise, why don't YOU play tennis with Bouchard & I CAN guarantee she'd make you eat your words! Cathal, let me know when YOU are ranked better than 60th in the world in professional journalism?!


Great article, this country needs a shake up badly....and I have a feeling it is coming soon.  And it would really, really help if the East Coast would vote with the west and put Conservatives in, not the Liberals who are bought and paid for by Quebec.

Can we sell Trudeau to the Chinese- nay-- give him away.


lol, nothing like in-state rivalry, but yes things go too far, and someone claiming their neutral by (wink, wink) claiming they "support both teams" but their kids are wearing CSU shirts and get (gulp!) "verbally accosted!" should look inward, and realize. . it's just a sporting event.  We have two of the best university's in the nation in CU and CSU, and rivalries are healthy more than they are a real public danger.  OK, one team lost, get over it, move on, make excuses why your team lost, but don't start blaming the fans/students for your frustration.  I'd hate to see this event cancelled because of disruptive fans, but as long as we get into this tit-for-tat argument, which fans are more "verbally abusive" things will head south.  I'll never forget 25 years ago, returning to my home state of Iowa to watch my "dance with the one that brung ya" Buffaloes take on my childhood favorite Hawkeyes.  As Colorado had one the game we turned to leave as a hurled ice cooler hit me in the head.


And the cost of living in San Francisco or  Los Angeles or Sacramento or Seattle is thousands more per year as well.

Apples and oranges comparisons  provide nothing.


So true, so true!


The worst tax scofflaw in the nation gets revenge on the agency which allowed him to escape taxation for most of his life.  Only the little people pay taxes - Leona Helmsley.  One of Trump's fellow New York Hoteliers joined with the Trump criminal RICCO conspiracy throughout New York City and beyond.  Billionaires freed from any fear of audit will be free to loot what remains of the national economy.  All protected by the massive increases to the Military Budget to ensure maximum arms against the citizens.  The perfect storm of Republican Fascist Nazi rule by the 4th Reich combining control of governing, economy, and military.  Time for Revolution.


Oh really? My memory must be getting bad because I don't remember any rioting, looting, burning, or calling for the assassination of Obama either time he was elected. So please cite me some examples of that happening.


Really???

Count me OUT !!
I loved La Loma. Now you want to take La Loma and turn it into a CIA Hyde Park crap 5 star.
We are your customers, we loved La Loma, now you got your dough and you want to be the Hudson Valley of I-25. Go for it, you are making a big mistake. If we wanted a Route 9 New York CIA joint, we have several to choose from. We know food, we travel, we have money! But we don't want New York crap food! All we wanted was La Loma. You want to Re-invent yourself into some crap NY junk!
By the way, the CIA takes anyone with a GED!


They spent too much money on power generation capacity we didn't need, not the least of which was the subsidization of solar and wind projects through the FIT program, and under-invested in sustaining capital projects to address aging transmission infrastructure.


This is ridiculous.  It's not like he was buying himself surfboards, going to nightclubs or on family vacations.  It is/was to support a community activity.  Why would this be a bad thing to support a healthy lifestyle (other than the possible after game refreshments) lifestyle and community involvement?


What happened to "Government, by and for the people"? Now it's, "Government by and for monetizing the people"


What's racist? That makes no sense.

My point was that instead of drawing attention to their issue it has turned into a debate on whether people should protest during a very specific time period ie, the anthem. So whats truly important has been lost in all of this.


Indeed. "Lock em up" is not the solution. A fair trial and death sentence is far more appropriate.


Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRBs) are designed for marine use. Hikers and travelers should use a Personal Location Beacon (PLB).  SPOT is a brand name for a satellite messenger and tracking device.

PLBs and satellite messengers can be rented.


Kellie Leitch offers absolutely nothing.  All she offers are solutions to non-existent problems.  She's had virtually nothing to say on any issue other than her so-called 'Canadian values'.


Yes , 75 MPH = 110 ft/sec ....but the article states he went diagonally across the median... additionally, it does not actually ever say how wide the median is in the area of this accident....without the angle of his diagonal, the width of the median and his speed, we cannot estimate how long of a time he was in the median before entering oncoming traffic.


Remember Loony Thabo the AIDS denier? Not a peep from any of them including Trev. An absolute disgrace, all of them.


It must SUCK to live in fear........................


At one point, as documented by Matt Carey, three different statements - only two of which are found in the available transcripts - are spliced together, taken out of context, in way that misrepresents the meaning of the two available statements. They are put together to mean something else. That's misrepresentation.

There is no credible evidence supporting a link between vaccines and autism, and abundant evidence showing there is none.

Next, a 1% sales tax for alternative energy assistance. Then 1% for urban bird houses. Then 1% for suspenders for youth with sagging britches.... If the public likes art, it will buy art. It doesn't need gov't forcing its taste on them. If this was going towards something that truly alleviated human suffering, like homeless shelters or public health clinics I could see it, but art is in the eye of the beholder. Will graffiti "artists" be subsidized now? Why not? To many of them what they are doing is beautifying their environment. Forcing others to pay for your idea of beautification is tyrannical and despotic. Shame, shame, shame.

Actually, it's common. Cold Bay was an alternate runway for the space shuttles!


Stepping away from the cultural aspect and moving into the political arena, nice.


Agree. He played well. The foul trouble looks to me like partly a technical issue and partly a self-control issue. Gotta keep the energy inside the technical limits and not trigger the auto-foul call. It should just take some work and focus.


Failed monopoly party?  Why no comment about the failed republican party who has abandoned its traditional views.  You are probably  too young to remember Eisenhower, the last republican president who actually balanced the budget.

Why would anyone be other than a Democrat when the other party is so bad?


Justin Trudeau continues to fawn to the interests of those who've dangled chump change to the Federal Liberal Party and the Trudeau foundation.  He is selling Canada out, against the interests and wished of its own citizens for fractions of a cent in the dollar.

That electoral blade is drawing inexorably closer act by foolish act.

Break out the water cannons and hose those cry bully leftists back into the sewer they crawled out from.


Your rant makes no sense...so now IT is the most absurd thing I've seen posted here.

We now have no children or families? Leave 270 million people alone? What about the other 53 or so million? Work for money for who? "You people" have "nothing" for human life? And do stop making assumptions and generalizations about people, okay?

If you can explain what you are talking about....Maybe I can help you.


Raise all the funds you want. Alaskans won't forget the Legislature's lack of action related to dealing with the State budget, and the subsequent raiding of the PFD. Incumbents will be in the crosshairs like never before.


The House vote to establish this small wolf protection area next to our number one tourism asset - Denali - is fantastic!  Along with the Fairbanks borough resolution in support last summer, the thousands of letters in support from Alaskans and others, it is high time for Governor Walker to wake up and do this administratively, for all Alaskans.

it will be foolish the entire time... you, I believe, are saying that the values will be higher in 10 or 20 years - which is likely true - but would you want to make $1 in 10 years or $10 in 10 years?

I too called Lisa's office, specifically yesterday.  I encountered the exact problem as Ms.Carr.  Interestingly I too was attempting to comment on Trump's education secretary nominee who I believe would be a disaster for public education.  Sullivan's office was easy to get a hold of and I finally got through to Lisa's Fairbanks office.


An H bomb now. Thanks 0bama.

"boosting his professional stock" ? This is the mindset of a Oregon Duck athlete - All for me...He is slow, cannot play against NBA caliber players (last nights game is a perfect example), a horrible defender and far too small to make it on the front line. After a humiliating defeat all he can say is that he is not considering an early entry into the NBA draft...there you have it - Duck Athletics at its finest.


it is a NATO initiative not EU


I was under the impression that modifiers such as gentleman or lady have been passe for at least a decade, as they imply class structure. As long as the remainder of one's behaviour toward the patient is respectful and consistent, regardless of position in society, all is good.
 It takes years of training and professionalism to compartmentalize one's response to unpleasant professional experiences vs those encountered at other times in life. In healthcare settings and in my personal experience, I have only experienced these unpleasant sights as part of the clinical picture and sought to improve the state of the patient, not considered the impact on my sensitivities.


A few years ago, I was told that an autopsy showed that a close personal friend of mine had died of natural causes and was in fact, not murdered as was suspected earlier in the investigation.I took this as good news, since being murdered is undoubtedly the worst way to die. I'm pretty sure that if much evidence showed that millions of my relatives were not murdered, I would weep with joy and celebrate into the early hours.But whenever anyone even so much as questions the official Holocaust  Narrative, people pretty much go nuts with anger and type things like "____ you" from their little pulpit. Such questions are a criminal offense in every Western country except that place called America, where freedom of speech has not been gutted, or "filtered." What "truth" needs protection from the state and media ?


Yeah. I don't know what all the particulars are, but unless wrongdoing can be proved on the part of the developer, then the state may be held liable for losses. But I'm no lawyer, however, in the past, I have taken many tenants to court, and a breach of contract has consequences, and it appears the state is in breach.


This art teacher has said he wept for days because of the election result. Maybe he was advised to try art therapy?


In fairness to Jennifer, her column unlike many actually feature numerous reminders that the stocks being presented merely meet the breakout criteria which in itself doesn't make for bulletproof recommendation.

Oddly enough some people on the one hand plead non stop for the Globe to provide them with a free Finance 101 course and on the other routinely proclaim their ability to earn annual lofty returns while keeping 70% of their money parked on the sidelines.

Don't stop transgenders from enlisting. Just make them sign an agreement that they will be fully responsible for their own medical expenses relating to their condition and the military will not help them cover any of the costs. Under this agreement, they will receive the same basic medical care any other soldier would receive, just no hormonal treatments. If they don't agree, they can't enlist. If they join and attempt to renege on the deal, they will be released from service and given a dishonorable discharge.


the cops left the scene?   THEY LEFT?????   LEAVING THE GOOD SAMARITAN ALONE WITH THE TEENS TO FEND FOR HIMSELF?   after the older man who had spoken up on behalf to those cops. to those teens who had been fighting?  OMG!  can i sue the police for negligence  on behalf of this man?  can i  please ask the cops why they thought that was going to be a good idea?  how did they see that scenario concluding?
 of course the first question i would ask is how accurate is THIS STORY REPORTED? i think we readers of the RG should ask that every time we read a story.  enough truly shoddy work done in this paper to make that a valid question.

The concept of producers having to resort to  hiring "right-wing writers" in order to portray a conservative character accurately reveals both how out of touch and dysfunctional Hollywood is at the moment. It implies that hiring is done based on where one stands in the political spectrum as opposed to their ability to create or portray a believable character. And it reveals that producers tend to surround themselves with those whom they feel socially compatible instead of those who might understand the audience.


Be patient, it took Woodward and Bernstein over two years to take down Nixon...I will say that the sooner he resigns or is impeached, the better for our country...


Very generally, but proving to be true too often is that Hedge Funds come and go leaving a trail of destruction in their path.......


Easy enough to find out.  Just go ask the many, many states that already do it.


Why don't these Pharmacies lock their drugs up in a Drug Safe every night before they leave?  Maybe we should pass more Drug Laws?

(This is what Liberal Anti-Gunners propose every time a firearms store is broken into.)


This was a small oil and gas company and that had approval from Pres. Bush and then Pres. Obama caused a small oil company great harm, who is surprised?
Thank God these Alaska oil workers still have jobs because these outrageous fines could have bankrupt this small oil and gas company that did no harm but now provides gas to keep Americans warm, what a crime!


1) What is FWAB?
2) Is there no waste or fraud in the private sector medical insurance market? Or has it somehow magically freed itself from such human frailty?


Absolutely!  I agree completely. Canada needs to stop letting in all (non-white) people from around the world.  Enough is enough.  (non-white) People from the around the world should not be allowed to own property in Canada.  Only (white) Canadian people should be.

Enough is enough.


Maybe you're part of the Russian deep state propaganda machine.  How many Rubles are you getting paid?


Jews who supported Trump are as loathsome as gays like Peter Thiel or transgendered people like Caitlyn Jenner who did so. I have no use for any of them.


Noooooo! How could they have shot and killed this bear? Why didn't they try and reason with it? Why didn't they just shut down the post office for the day, send everyone home but leave the back doors open so the bear could have left. What is this world coming to? I'm sure Ted Stevens Airport could have easily diverted the flights to Fairbanks for the afternoon to quiet things down. The police should have closed down Postmark drive until the bear wandered out on its own. All they had to do was put a trail of peanut butter and donuts leading out the door, wait a few days and problem solved.

I see both sides of this almost daily.  i try to ride ~150 km a week so i spend a fair amount of time on my bike.  I've been on roads where drivers pass me so close i can touch them and they make zero attempt to even slow down.  I've been hit by two cars, both making right hand turns without looking and turned on top of me.  I've had people walking on the trails and cross right in front of me without bothering to look both ways first and i am doing 20km/h.  Flip side, i have been passed on those 20km/h zones by others who think it is their personal "time trial"..  I've also seen people walking 5 deep and blocking the entire pathway even thought it is marked dual use (walking/cycling).


Just wait until the FARTS program kicks in
(That is Trudeau's' carbon and methane reduction programs)


IRT Palani, fully agree with your post.  Since 1974 when marijuana was added as a Schedule 1 illegal drug, all research has shown that marijuana belongs on the list as a Schedule 1 illegal drug.  Today, more scientific data is becoming available for all of us to evaluate.  My opinion, the scientific results are not in favor of marijuana.


Yes the Church does reflect that, but it semi officially deflects all the blame to gay priests.  This is wrong for a number of reasons.  It ignores the availability issue of boys vs girls as altar servers.  It ignores what data we have from the developing world.  It ignores the fact that pedophiles also have an adult orientation and most claim that orientation to be heterosexual, and it conveniently maintains celibacy is honored by heterosexual priests and ignored by gay priests.  No credible data supports that assumption, but the homosexual aspect is great salacious news for the conservative press.


It was pretty clear yesterday that this Bill would fail. It doesn't meet the requirements of either end of the Republican spectrum and would hurt a lot of poor and elderly Americans. Now comes the showdown between the House Freedom types and the rest of the GOP. Great viewing.


The one thing DEMS had in common is they didn't care THEIR candidate was a lying career criminal with obligations to countries that murder gays and Christians AND treat their women worse than their dogs... Guess that tells us a LOT about the LEFT and THEIR lack of values.


The only model in the link with a price attached is the bolt.  That price is nearly double the cost of what you would pay for a similar conventional car.  If this gap cannot be closed then the niche status will remain.  There are several other factors which will hold these models in the niche status.  You are familiar with them based on our previous conversations here.  Range and a lack of rapid recharge.  Plus the debugging period with the tech has not even begun.


I believe Safe Seattle on Facebook pulls the trigger rather too quickly on banning thoughtful members of the community.


I think this old ex Alabama governor's plumbing is all worn out and pulling down one's pants would be pointless.  Seems he just needed some spicy phone sax and saxting with his aide since his wife was not into that.  His boo boo was that he did not understand all of the taxpayer supported Ipads he and his wife used all had the same ICloud account that shares email, texts and pictures across all of his Apple devices.   If the buggah was not so cheap and bought an Ipad for his wife with his own money, his Ipad would not have been 'connected'.  Will give his wife credit for divorcing her dirty old man husband UNLIKE Hillary Clinton who stuck with her serial cheating husband cause she wanted to ride Bill's coattails to the Whitehouse which later twice gave her a chance to be Pres of the US.


France is a country of dubious moral and ethical integrity so perhaps Reguly is right & France will defend her as it tries to hang on to the illusion they are still a great country.

 France's historical failures as a colonial power still haunt the world with almost all there former colonies being poorly developed socially and economically,  dictator or torrorist dominated with suffering people due to French mismanagement (a rare exception being Quebec, which had the good fortune of being abandoned by the French & going on to invent their own unique French language based culture within a predominantly British colony. Note the British are the diametric of the French, their failed colonies are the exception rather than rule). I add this commentary to illustrate a result that shows France's vacuity on the moral and ethical as a world player.

Finally, the rise of populism in France gives hope people will reject the defence of Legarde: the elites are bankrupt, not the French people?


As far as “Spring Awakening” itself is concerned… I don’t know either the text or the music, but everything I have heard from those involved is that it is going to be an extremely powerful event that has already changed these kids' lives in a remarkable way, & this is coming from some of the most highly respected folks in my life, parents and students alike. Some of the cast members in this show are THE most genuine and brilliant and caring individuals I have *ever* worked with, out of at least 1000 throughout my career. They are one class act after another, & as I cringe to witness the crapstew of our world as portrayed in the news and social media, it’s young people like these that give any hope whatsoever in the darkest hours. I consider these kids to be role models for *me* in many ways. And I don’t say that poetically or metaphorically, but in the most literal sense.They are undoubtedly some of the best people I know, & I can all but promise you this show will reflect that. (cont)


It is like a 'city within a city' in some places. I've never had problem being or feeling threatened, I'd wager most don't want the cops busting up their spot. I just wish they would work to keep the trash to a minimum, that would go a long way towards improving perceptions IMO.


Really?  An embarrassment to humanity ... if you said that about Hitler, Jeffery Dalmers, Charles Manson that would make sense.  One thing that both sides tend to have are the drama queens.

How long has the investigation been going on?  What exactly has been found?  How many times has it been said on the major news outlets "here is the proof".

Manifort might be guilty of something and Trump canned him quickly.  But we do know Clintons received moneys and nothing is said.


You go Girl! Sen Giessel is my Sen by way of gerrymandering I recieved her ususal update on for the days happenings. For the first day of the special session her explanation was that it was the GOVERNORS fault for adding things! I am not making this up, never mind all the time wasted on Guns on campus and daylight savings and what not. It was eerly similar to the piece by Sen Meyer, nothing is my fault. Is there an adult in the lot?Can they take repsponsibility for any thing?It is very clear by her news letter that Sen Giessel thinks we should spend our revenue on BP and not schools or healthcare, as her boss I disagree.


What did Nostradamus say about all this?


Hi Lela, I was going to say the same to you -- and study the meaning of the word socialism while you're at it -- but I guess you've already studied these things so I'll withhold the comment. :-)


Tuggs can you please elaborate?   San Diego's trolly doesn't go to or through Mission Hills. It does go through downtown San Diego and I have never seen it impeding traffic between there and Old Town. Across the San Diego River I was stopped once to wait for a trolley crossing, very briefly.


"In many ways, they're doing much better than the men. (Just look at the lopsided university graduation rates, which are now around 60-40)".
Women in STEM/computers (useful degree) is a tiny fraction,yet women totally dominate the arts (useless degrees) while men dominate the trades which usually pay better.

"Today, most men can have all the sex they want for very little cost"
Nope,studies show that 10% of the single men get 90% of the sex.

"and the arrival of online dating sites, which make it easy for men to find willing sex partners."
I've looked on tinder,it was 95% men.None of my friends had any success on Tinder.

"The marriage rate is falling steadily, especially among the lower middle class, while long-term stable marriage is increasingly a privilege reserved for the better off."
This just proves the point that women want the guy with tons of dough.

"including online porn on demand that can make the real thing feel mildly disappointing."
What does this even mean?


Thats funny considering the video of the "liberals" who attacked his event.

If you are fine with the usual laughable college shouters showing up to his event having their usual tantrum, while you are then complaining about this guy and his politics...

Let us try another tact, you are OK with 20ish screamers while you think that another faction has learned by wrote?


The problem is that the taxes will go to general revenue and be frittered away on pet projects.


Well now Ernie, come and visit with me my friends in Atka. Even though you are an out-to-lunch racist, they will invite you into their homes and offer you the harbor seal, sealion, pogy, urchin eggs, salmon, reindeer and etc. that they don't actually subsist on according to your twisted view. You are brazenly inaccurate. I've been there, you obviously haven't or if you have, only as a drive by.

Can someone please explain to me exactly what is meant by "deep-seated homosexual tendencies?"

Deep seated: “firmly established at a deep or profound level.” – Google

Homosexual: “sexuality of those oriented to persons of the same gender/sex.” – Common knowledge/known


I think the news said Hillary redirected the money to another worthy cause. Should have returned the money to Weinstein but instead gets a charitable deduction by taking this route.


"The trip was paid for by the Prison Law Office, a Berkeley, Calif.-based nonprofit law firm that sues for better conditions for prisoners"
Enough said.  The lack of respect for the law sends them to prison, lack of respect for law enforcement keeps them coming back.


This is not free enterprise, this is FAKE privatization. The OLG a crown corporation with a MONOPOLY is 'awarding' a GTA monopoly to a private company to run Woodbine. The Workers at OLG Slots at Woodbine, which I am a member of have been locked out by the OLG because of a labour dispute. The OLG is demanding its workers in casinos and slot facilities will no longer be public service workers and thus removing our pension language from our collective agreements. Apparently those who came up with the 'Modernization Plan' will keep their government jobs and their sunshine list salaries 100+ k. Yet the rest of us who earn anywhere between 20 k to 45 k our jobs will be outsourced with only a 1 year guarantee.  This reminds me a lot of the 407, where taxpayers built up an industry only to be turned over to a private operator. This makes no sense as future casino profits will be shared with new owners. There should be an immediate freeze to all sale of business until after the  election.

I detest Rob Ford. He is dead, and I still completely detest that poor excuse of a man. However he is still loved in Etobicoke, and naming an Etobicoke stadium after Rob Ford is something I can live with. Just don't bring anything "Rob Ford" on this side of the Humber River.


Are you not quite awake? Your narrative sounds much like a dream you just had and as most dreams, virtually impossible - unless of course, rewrite of the Constitution was in your dream, too?.


Very well stated.  Thanks.
