In your mind the only question is appropriate response.  But global warming is not just warming as Mr. Watson likes to point out.  The more recent claims address violent weather, droughts, and other things that have much less evidence associated with them.  Regarding the holocaust, of course the number killed matters.  If it was 200, it would be nothing compared to the Democratic President's war crime of killing hundreds of thousands of non-combatant Japanese via nuclear fire or the comparable numbers of non-combatants killed in the saturation bombing of German cities.  There are many atrocities Mr. Scott.  But the majority cast a blind eye to those outside the popular point of view.  I've read that US support for the Syria rebel killers has killed a hundred thousand or more and made refugees out of million more.  A democrat liberal (who loves everybody and is good) did that.  The number directly killed in Iraq is similar.  Who knows how many the American bombs killed in Syria.


And just to educate you, Trudeau saw fit to promote the guy who played a big role in skyrocketing Ontario hydro rates.  Gerald Butts.


Outrageous. This law discriminates against anyone who, for personal reasons, chooses to wear a nylon stocking over his head when entering a bank.


Mr. Olijar,
Which paragraph or sentence in Mr. Mitchell's LTE leads you to believe he has a lack of knowledge about economics?
Please enlighten us.


The country is never going to collapse quickly and any person with a half a brain know that.   You believe a lie; that all liberals said the country would collapse (in six months?)    Around here, that's called creating a 'strawman'.     It's also called demonizing your opponent.      I'm sure you can find some who might have thought this, but most certainly did not.    You're attacking a myth and spreading needless spittle on people that don't share your politics.

Feel free to express yourself, but you don't get to tell others what they think.


Any outcome other than Trump is guilty will never be accepted by the left.  The left is crying that Trump did this because the FBI was getting close.  So you put a spotlight on the issue to hide it?  No logic there.  Comey was axed due to his overstepping his position as Director.  He is to collect evidence and turn it over to the DOJ.  That is all.  What may be interesting is what will happen to Clinton now.  Did she sleep well?  Is she thinking about how she will look in jail togs?  Will the FBI now reopen her investigation and turn over the facts to a DOJ that is not controlled by Obama?  Will the actual laws be enforced?  With the facts, as stated by Comey, that no evidence has been shown to link Trump himself to the Russians but evidence showing Clinton's disregard for laws concerning the handling of State secrets will be reviewed and prosecuted.


This is what this forum has stated to me,

"You have 1 of 1 comments remaining for the next 24 hours."

Wow, I feel highly blessed to have the privilege to post one comment every 24 hours.

If I wait 7 days, can I post 7 comments??????

Just  curious to know.......


Earthquakes and tsunamis? Psshaw...the facility is directly across from an active volcano with 3 others nearby. Wheeeee, let's all do the Fraggle Rock!


Hopefully Trump will cut spending on those whore journalists one day


Yes, we know that Gary, but you failed to address my remarks about the Pacifica Forum opposition.


Like Spock would say 'it's logical' when you are confronted with reality and have no solution to a problem the logical thing to do is step back and let someone else deliver.
I hope you were joking about a 'big name' coach, that ain't happening, ever.  OSU needs someone like Leach...someone like the NAVY coach.  Triple option with connections to the Islands.


To say it's "common sense" is asinine when we don't know the facts.  Perhaps the "shooter" was a fraile person fearing for their life.  Common sense is that an instigator ought to know the potential deadly results if they push too far-all per law.


massive immigration runs counter to this goal
I live in Vancouver
we know


You forgot the CBC's hypocrisy  aver the "Q" guy, whose name I have already forgotten.


What about not doing business with companies that provide services to them. Like the security company guarding their compound .


It's good to be pastoral, as long as he never says 2+2=5, or that two contradictory statements both can be true. That would be an invitation to insanity, which is not a pastoral thing to issue.


Since I understand capitalism I happily pay more for things to support the source.  I buy Alaska grown to support my fellow Alaskans...pay a few bucks more to ensure my local grocery & liquor store stay open..and YES I will pay more for US made!  Best of all, we will have jobs to pay for what we need, not more taxes on those of us who do work.  Nice deflection...he is following through on his promise so you had to find some angle.   Hang in there Lefties....some of you have made it out of the Denial stage and are onto anger (destructive protests).  Only 3 stages of grief left before you accept It.


I don't think any measures will do any good unless you address the foreign money which the Liberals are welcoming with open arms.

400,000 10 year visas to China in 2015 and probably close to a million last year all looking to hide money in Canada.  This along with 300k in immigration and 100k in Quebec sales of citizenship.

Canadians at Canadian salaries just cannot compete with this.


I don't agree that it will encourage more hate, (the headline makes the assumption that someone hates theses people at present.)

I think it might encourage more women to break the bonds of mysogyny and stop wearing the burka and the niqab.


Sure hope this congress critter does create a 'back channel'. Prog tears make my day!


1. ...My suggestion to those women who don't approve of abortions is not to have one.'
You can replace "abortion" with "beating a child to death". It's the same result.


Let's just accept reality. We, as a free people must accept whatever anyone else wants to do if we want to stay a free people. They can sleep with whomever they want, dress however they want, eat whatever they want, marry whoever they want, pray to whoever they want. We can however draw the line at bomb whoever they want.
On the other hand, as a free people we can not, dislike whoever we want, disagree with whoever we want, not take pictures of their wedding if we don't want to, not bake them a cake if we don't want to, not tell them to use the bathroom designed for them.... Man, this whole Liberty thing. It sure is tough. No wonder it's concept is fading from our lands.


Some where somehow we need an accurate accounting. One side says they are dramatically underpaid, the other side says they are dramatically overpaid. Does anyone have data to support either claim?


We're still trying to get out from the massive debt that the previous government caused, as they left the current government with an empty bank account.

Give them some time to get things back on track before you cry wolf.


Nobody stole anything, quit being butthurt


Im fine with that. The goal is to reduce taxes and paperwork associated with filing taxes. Who cars what deductions you don't have if the total tax burden is reduced?


Pardoning is what Trump did to that racist ex-sheriff despite his multiple contempt of court actions and lack of remorse. Also, before serving even a day of time. Racists protecting racists. That's what Trump is all about.


To expand on this, it creates a bit of stratification of rents.  Existing rental units, limited by rent control, see potentially lower price, but new units aren't built in sufficient quantity, driving down supply.  What little does get built comes into the market at much higher prices.

So existing tenants get the benefit of lower prices but potentially worsening maintenance.  New tenants, or those forced to move for whatever reason, face much higher prices.

Landlords oppose them because it takes the decision making out of their hands.  It makes it much more difficult for them to adjust to market conditions.  It takes a long time (20+ years typically) to have a rental unit pay for itself.  It is always a risk to guess where demand will be over the next two plus decades, but with rent control that guess entails even more risk.


James, I was posing the question that people often ask. If mountain biking is more dangerous, then why aren't more bikers harmed than hikers? The obvious rebuttal is that if there are many more times the number of hikers than bikers, then even if biking is more dangerous there could still be fewer injured bikers than hikers. And yet the odds of being injured by a bear would be higher for bikers than hikers. As I attempted to point out, there are no national or statewide figures for numbers of people who hike or bike in bear country, so comparisons are difficult, although in one instance reported by Herrero in Banff, it was evident that bikers were more at risk. Your "logic-fail" is you forgot to account for numbers of users.


Given the data on outcomes for immigrants, you definitely have a valid point. Canada is pulling a bait and switch on immigrants - especially legal ones.

The racist dystopian narrative of welfare queens and criminals is false, as is the feel-good nonsense about dreamers and innovators.

The data tells a story of wasted potential, failed dreams, and working poverty.  We need to ask ourselves some hard questions.


Trump will win on this one.  But it was fair to the people already on the way who would be stuck in no mans land.


So your antidote for your lack of interaction with suburban and rural Canada is to go live in the woods with the bears? Instead of say going to rural Saskatchewan and meeting the people you have often written about? Lol

Do you need more proof that the G&M writers are out of touch with the average Canadian? Don't they sound eccentric? Despite her great worldly travels, Balkisoon clearly hasn't seen much of suburban or rural Canada. Based on her self-admitted confinement to life in Canada to urban centers, I doubt she'd be able to point out Saskatchewan on a political map of Canada, let alone know how to spell it.

What a joke.


I think the Globe long ago abandoned the idea of human editors reviewing work before it is published.


If I believed in devils, and souls (and the selling of them), I'd trust Mr. Lucifer before I'd trust minority-elect "President" Trump.


"Would the defenders of Jack Phillips of Masterpiece Cakeshop call it his First Amendment right if he refused to bake a wedding cake for an interracial couple?"
Spot on, Cheryl Kasson!
"People used religious arguments to support their opposition to interracial marriages" But the US Supreme Court shot down those arguments.
The US Supreme Court also shot down arguments by bakers and flower arrangers and wedding designers who insisted their religious and artistic freedom overrode state laws banning discrimination based on race or religion.
Religious conservatives never had a problems with civil rights laws and court rulings upholding them -- until gay people and couples began being included in state civil rights laws.
This is all about religious conservatives wanting government, through the courts, to protect their right to show superiority over gay people. Religious conservatives want to be protected from discrimination while discriminating against gay people. This is all about power.


it was all done legally
no one has the right to enter any sovereign country

if you don't like the questions, then simple, don't go
everyone knows the border guards are acting legally

I heard an immigration  lawyer on TV today, basically you are at the mercy of the border agents


Russell Raven You Rock! Give that man a PFD!


One more misstep in over 49 years of missteps as the continual expropriation of land continues, executed by Israel to fulfill a bizarre and immoral religious imperative from a barbaric book - with sanction provided by the US.

Hitchens was right - Religion poisons everything..


Combine:

“They’ve been pretty loud up there for the last few months,” he said. “You could hear them at 5 a.m. — gambling, yelling, making noise.”

with

Just over a year ago is not some years back. You did not write against it, you spoke and voted (the only no vote) against it. Like you do with rail, you completely exaggerate its visual impact.

I thought the new commissioner was going to fix the inmate death problems at corrections. I guess not.


We still have two refineries in BC - one in Prince George and one in Burnaby. BC has never refused to build or upgrade the existing refineries. That's just another of your fabrications.

The oil company plans to close the refinery in Burnaby rather than upgrade it because they really don't care about the BC market. KMX is intended to ship bitumen to China. We can't process bitumen here.


I am 68-years old.  I use my private group health insurance to provide for my needed health care.  Although I paid into Medicare for much of my adult life, it does not provide for ambulatory care nor medicines.  The polices that are available to provide such coverage cost more than my current plan and have deductibles, which mine does not.  I would oppose putting the rest of the country on a system that has to be subsidized by private coverage after all is said and done.  Even if you changed the system to provide needed care, the administrative cost per patient to provide Medicare is $509.  The cost to provide coverage under private plans is $453 per person.  Where are the savings?  After 35-years in health care management and public affairs, 30-with the Federal government, I know that most people are doing their best, in public and private systems.  Why turn an entire industry on its head for philosophical reasons?  Universal access to care is possible with a public/private system.


Weed becomes legal. All the sudden media showcases " marijuana" as the culprit in recent crimes. Just wondering what the violent crime, not excluding domestic violence, involving alcohol is?


I think it's time for Canadians to inform our politicians that the current popular mantra of "environment before all else" is not going to be tolerated any longer.  These buffoons are going to destroy our standard of living all in the name of scoring perceived political points.  The current movement to be "climate change leaders" has gotten out of hand.  The inmates are running the asylum.


I agree that there will be an election soon. And then the BCLibs will have to try explaining to their ex-voters why they did a u-turn and abandoned them. Heck ,  BCLib MLAs are already asking themselves the same question. I wouldn't want to be in their shoes when they go back to their local executive.

And if NDP and BCLibs have the same stated policies, but the NDP will actually be government and follow thru on the policies, then the only ones with a motive to cross the floor will be .... BCLibs.

Gonna be fun for most of us, but embarrassing and sad for you BCLib supporters.


Sure, Trump Offcials support a 3 way. But what does the boss want...

A Cancel it..

A tweck of it...

A ???? of it...

Does he know, do the people that work for him know...DOES ANYONE KNOW?

He will destroy the world....one way or another.


Dave, we know the Sun  goes down every day.  We also know, usually multiple days in advance, when clouds will block sunshine.  We know hours and days ahead when the wind will blow.  We know how much wind and sunshine to expect per week and per month during the coming years.

We do not know when one or more reactors might suddenly disappear from the grid.  And they do.

If a reactor goes offline it will generally be offline for days.  It can take days to restart a reactor.  If the needed repairs are extensive a grid can end up with one or more reactors offline for weeks, months or more than a year.

It is a necessary assumption that the wind will not blow 24/365, the Sun will not shine 24/365, and a nuclear reactor will not be operational 24/365.  Grid design involves building in the needed storage/backup to deal with those events.

The question is cost, is it not?  I gave you some numbers to consider.


Proof ?


"Wong denied their requests and sentenced each Wednesday to the maximum 10 years in prison for the theft and five years for each of the forgery counts, "

I don't know what party affiliation you have and I don't care.   Just know that I have enough exposure to you that, SHOULD you run for office, I will be working on your campaign.


Take a longer term view and not just focus on flippers.   Tax for capital gains in stages over 10 years starting at three years.   Say, if you sell within three years, tax as income based on 100% inclusion.   Within 5 years - 75% inclusion.   Within 7 years - 50% inclusion.   Once you've owned for 9 years, there is no capital gains tax at all.  (The cut-off's can be adjusted, but keep the first one at least three years to discourage speculative flipping.

Make sure the data are captured and registered properly.   Allow for some kind of exemption for life-threatening illness and so on that requires an application.   Pain the neck and "nanny-statism" - I know.   However, we are where we are because action wasn't taken a long time ago.

It also makes sense to consider foreign buyers, especially where they have no connection to Canada.   (e.g., are not citizens)   The big issue seems to be that nobody is capturing the data properly.   Capture good data and stop avoiding the issue.


You CNN folk are hilarious!


The author has shown us good reason to use collective bargaining, it works to balance the huge imbalance of power between ownership and any single employee.    But private unions turned to the government and found a friendly hand, at least part of the time.   Instead of negotiation for profit share, unions negotiate with a government institution, but not private ownership.   The federal government abandoned it's support mechanism for unions, and unions abandoned the workers in low wages that needed their support in favor of trying to find new 'opportunities' to leverage concessions out of large corporate entities, and of course Government contracting.

Worse Unions chased the money the could find in higher paying jobs that did provide a good standard of living, and forgot about organizing those who aren't even earning the deeply devalued current minimum wage.    This is an area ripe for collective bargaining. but without corporate financial transparency - difficult to do,


Perhaps it is time for Toronto to be separated as an urban territory of Canada. We seem to be out of step with the rest of the province politically with different needs and requirements. Outside of the tax dollars that we provide in excess of our percentage of the population while bearing more than our share of under-funded social services, I doubt the rest of Ontario would miss Toronto.


Will be opting out 2019 myself. 2018 cost will be $200/pay period X 24= $4800.
That is almost 5 mo mortgage payments.


No one is taking choice away from God.

The Bishop is simply saying "based on what we know" (that's an act of humility).

It would be an act of arrogance and pride to "go beyond the data" of these people's lives.

Remember if the person as they died asked for forgiveness and gave evidence of their desire to reconcile with the Church, there'd be a funeral.


There is no U.S President in history whom the establishment has tried so hard to impeach from Day 1. Trump will get past this. No one is completely innocent; not James Comey, not Loretta Lynch, not Hillary Clinton, no one.


Penny ante
but it is just a degree of corruption
the greater corruption versus the lesser corruption


Mr. Morneau has rectified the situation even though he did not have to legally.   It's over and done with so let him get on with his job!


Clear back in 2008 when the state was wrangling with the feds over conditions at the Oregon State Hospital (which resulted in two new hospitals and a whole new approach to treatment) everyone involved wondered why they were not pursuing an Olmsted investigation as well. It was well known that Oregon was not meeting that federal standard. Hard to believe that the feds have waited this long to call the state on its sorry performance while the mentally ill have suffered. It really is unconscionable what we fail to do for some of our most vulnerable citizens.


Hello (Father?) Kuss. Were you the priest that wrote at length about Amoris Laetitia? Yes, I remember you! However, since I was banned from First Things I've not kept up with goings-on over there.

I agree the "Supreme Court judges can have social conscience, and at the same time be sober interpreters of the constitution," but I'm not sure what to make of your last sentence. I get you're being literary, but the justices shouldn't be priests of any kind.


I am neither ignorant nor misleading.  The facts are that Republicans offered over 700 amendments to the ACA in committee.  Of those, only 159 were adopted, and of those, only two of them were substantive enough to require a vote.  Yes, Congress could have worked toward some kind of compromise on the ACA, but it was the Democrats who repeatedly said no.  Just like throughout the last Congress, when Harry Reid was so determined to shut the door on any good idea, Republican or Democrat, that he consistently refused to allow Senators to have votes on their amendments on the floor.  Which is one reason why Mark Begich wasn't able to get anything done.
Now, however, under Republican leadership in the Senate, multiple complicated, important bills have been crafted on a bipartisan basis and signed into law.  Just a few, in case you missed them: the Every Student Succeeds Act; the Patient Access and Medicare Protection Act; FAA Extension, Safety, and Security Act; FAST Act; etc.


No one should be surprised by this - it was expected.


Yes math teachers must know math, must have studied it and be good and comfortable with it and QUALIFIED in it. They shouldn't be teaching it otherwise. No, you don't need a PhD to teach elementary but you should have enough math to be comfortable in the higher levels, to know that addition and multiplication are the building blocks and can be taught with reference to the ceiling tiles, real world.


A bit of background on NRG is interesting.  NRG Energy, Inc. was formerly the wholesale arm of Xcel Energy, and was spun off in bankruptcy in 2004.
.
NRG Energy president David Crane resigned as president and CEO in December 2015.  Crane's resignation was a direct response to investor pressure and a declining stock price. The shareholders worried that the independent power producer had invested too many resources into distributed energy, without much to show for it.
.
Governor Ige arbitrarily blocked NextEra's efforts to enter the Hawaiian marketplace. It will be interesting indeed to witness what the agreement with NRG, a financially troubled entity whose owners are focusing on ROI, will means for energy availability and prices Hawaii.
.
While the Governor is busy making aspirational speeches and setting decades hence goals another financially unstable mainland firm is being allowed to assume a major role in his "renewable energy goal".


Proof ??????And no, I am not a Trump supporter,  or Hillary , or Bernie.


KK, u and people like u, are like cigarette smokers,  we can't turn our noses off from the public stench of the odor, and we can't and won't  turn our ears off. Go away with your indoctrinated fairy tale nonsense untrue myths and beliefs.  . We don't want to smell your warped demented psychological diarrhea of the weakest of minds, ever again, were sick of your mindless drivel. The earth is flat and 6,000 years old too....hahahahaha


This is a warning and I do feel for all affected. Those affected should be bought out and re settled to higher ground. As the ice shield melts the water levels will continue to rise. The earth is a closed system and new melt will continue to raise water levels. Waterfront property has lost its value . We will all be punished by insurance companies, but please fight increases if you are on higher ground and not effected. They are already scheming to raise everyone's rates!


Since I have obtained electricity from PP&L, Blachly-Lane Co-op, EWEB, and now SUB, I want to have nothing to do with any LWEB!

I know.  I wanted to be an astronaut when I was a kid.  Stupid comment from me.  Thanks for addressing it.  I deleted my comment.


On one hand I agree with you. Yet MacDonald makes a good point: there are other ways to increase voter turnout. It intrigues me that our system locates the place for compromise is in the voter's mind.

I agree that all electoral systems require compromise. However, it had never occurred to me that that is what happens in my mind when I feel supportive of a particular party or leader, but choose, to vote for the best local candidate. I am not sure it has ever occurred to me that that, or its opposite, makes our system stronger.

An election takes shades of grey and, from them, manufactures an assembly of lawmakers, most of whom subscribe to the concrete ideology of a party. Somewhere in the system the "grey-to-concrete" conversion must be made. MacDonald says, "Why not in my head?"

I have gone through a conversion of sorts in my life in which I learned that it strengthens one to be able to embrace ambiguity. It weakens us - and our nation, perhaps - when we are stuck in black & white.


And that, my dear, is one of your best features :-)


I will call my good friend Tom Turner, Florence Police Chief,  and have a Good O'L boy chat.

I have a fishing friend who lives right next door to Erwin Drake.  They have been neighbors for 15+ years.  After I read this article I called my friend and asked what happened.  My friend told me that for the last several months, Erwin's health has not been very good.  2 weeks ago Erwin fell down in the driveway while attempting to bring in his garbage can.  My friend went out and helped him get up and go in the house and lay down in bed.  Erwin did not want to go to the hospital.    Last week, my friend had not seen Erwin for several days, so he went next door to check,  My friend has a key to Erwins house so he let himself in.  He hollered for Erwin, no response, my friend went down the hallway to Erwins bedroom.  Erwin was laying there alive, but not very responsive.  My friend poked Erwin a  little and Erwin opened his eyes and sat up.   A few days later Erwin is murdered.   Hmmmmmm.


Great article. It needed saying to counteract the propaganda that the Liberals are circulating.

I agree. It was totally irresponsible of the Register Guard not to report on the Wyden Town Hall Meeting.  Hopefully they will report on the Defazio and Merkley Town Halls this weekend.  What is it with the RG these days in failing to report on political news that affects Oregon and the Nation?


Did you see trump proposed jailing or stripping of their citizenship those who burn an American flag?  Did you see that trump's attorney general and secretary of health picks both support removal of protections under the law for LGBT folks? That's just two examples of trump creating fear amongst rational people.  As far as offending the delicate sensibilities of trump's snowflakes, they should be ashamed of themselves.


You know what, you are making these conclusions based on a news story.  I believe that the police would have arrested the dude if they had clear evidence that he had "lured" the boy away.  Recall he was found some distance from the mother.  It would seem that the mother did not just turn away for a moment.  How long was she busy talking?  Sounds to me like she left the developmentally disabled youth alone to his own devices for some time and he wandered away or got curious about something.  In any event, I believe police are only too eager to arrest and detain.  I trust that the reason the dude was not detained relates more to the absence of incriminating evidence - despite what the news story leads one to believe.


The polls predicted that Hillary Clinton would receive the most votes.  And she did.


In other words, now might be our legislators' last, best chance to start an income tax, sales tax, motor-fuel tax, studded-tire tax, corporate-tax increase, Medicaid subsidy, and some sort of education tax.


I'd be far more concerned about the militia wannabes wearing camouflage suits and hold late night bonfires spewing their anti-government rhetoric.


I find this meeting to lead to NOTHING.  Really, was it at Trup's request or was it her request to grab some political gain?  What does she know about Syria and terrorism that most National Congress members don't know?

She was a vet who fought on Iraq and I give her all the respect in the world for that.  But, she reminds me of Inouye and Macain who used their was injuries to give them a life long job.  Gabbard is on that same track and at this point, you only hear of her name opposing her party and going to see Trump...nothing on bills or initiatives she, herself, introduced.

As with all other Hawaii congress people, she does nothing but make noise to be heard mostly in Hawaii.

Waha at its best...


And if they hadn't, you would have raised holy hell about your rights being infringed upon, and still blame Obama.


Curious - we've seen the ads and heard the claims, so:
What percentage of electricians/plumbers/specialists/contractors/construction workers out there actually sign up to be 'found' and 'reviewed' and 'background checked' by these services?  I've asked a few guys that we've had work done from here in Estes (new roof, replacement windows, outside paint job), and they have more work than they can handle already and they all said they have not signed up in the Angie's List/HomeAdvisor world.

{Same question about how many dealers have signed on with those 'magic' no hassle/best price used car sales apps we see commercials for ...}


Does Bill O'Reilly have small hands too?


Isn't it great that through the game of football they are now interested in getting involved in something worth caring about? I don't know these kids, so I can't comment on your idea that they've never worked for anything and just want attention, but it seems like football is causing more young people to wake up and think about serious issues.


Unwinnable!


You haven't had an original thought in years have you? Just keep letting your team think for you, it's easier that way.


Actually, the women he sexually assaulted did not grant permission.  Many have come forward.  He also bragged about going into the change rooms at the Miss America pageants and Miss Teen America pageants so he could ogle them naked.  He said it on Howard Stern.  He belongs behind bars.


To summarize: progress on houselessness and affordable housing has been diminimis, whereas contracts to political donors like developers and bloated charities has increased.  Climate change proclamations are just symbolic without the corresponding action to implement them. And standing up to the Muslim travel ban may have gotten campaign contributions, but appears disingenuous when HPD's blatant racism, sexism, and harassment of the poor and houseless show's itself in the jail population.  So much so that the Governor wants to build new unaffordable housing on the taxpayer dollar to jail his disfavored, non-campaign contributing constituents. And AG Chin doesn't seem moved to action either for some reason.  And last but not least the public will not forget Carleton Ching, Scott Enright, and Suzanne Case.  These nominees speak volumes about the Gov's priorities, ethics, and management style.  I think the 57% who want a change figure is a conservative figure,


Aren't you supposed to be the "victim" and not the bigoted bully that insults everyone?


I've finally come around to thinking it might be a good thing to have a gun. Probably be doing it in the next couple of weeks.


A high ranking Indian politician acuses our defence minister of being a terrorist in one of Canada's worst terrorist acts, and this news gets little air time? I think there should be an investigation given the parties involved and scale of the accusation.


Just take care of business.  Go Warriors!


Denver will get sued for violation of the 14th amendment - equal protection clause, when homeless, vagrants get cited disproportionately and the white collar suits walking on the mall gets a warning. that is what this law is about and how it will be enforced by the DPD because they will use it as they see fit, 14th amendment is lost on the Police.


DonAlt tRump has cancelled out of a planned visit to the African American Museum in D.C. That was planned for Martin Luther King Day on Monday. His team sites  conflicting arrangements but after his now famous dressing down of Mr. Lewis, it is undoubtedly because he fears being booed and jeered at by the other visitors. It seems that courage is easy when you are twitter twit, not so much in a real life situations.


So the fact that he completely twisted what the mayor said is irrelevant when it comes to speaking "truth".  Do we actually even know that the London mayor is as "pro Liberal" as you indicate?


Been doing it for decades and just buy my blackberry jam!

What's a little annoying, is that even though we're 44-26, we're only one game ahead of Arizona AND Los Angeles in our division. What's MORE annoying, is that if we switched places w/the 1st place team in the NL Central(Milwaukee), we'd have a nine game lead on their 2nd place team, the Cubs. But what flat out SUCKS, is that if we switched places w/the 1st place team in the NL EAST(Washington), we'd have an ELEVEN AND A HALF game lead on THEIR 2nd place team, MIAMI.

I find it beyond the issue of equality -- it's the call of the Holy Spirit being rejected -- utterly REJECTED! -- by the hierarchy in charge and those who believe they can do no wrong.  Rejecting, without any consideration or thought, those who may have been called and sent BY GOD to serve his people as priests, or in positions of church authority.  It's sneering in the face of God -- "we've decided we know better than you" -- and turning their backs on the will of the Holy Spirit.


I was thinking more "Peter Principle" by statute.


A very interesting question. Who has an answer?


1.) Snopes claims this but repeated requests to the City of Charlottesville to produce said permit have been ignored. Which is odd.

2.) I don't know if she was attacking anyone. Her murder has absolutely nothing to do with the topic of discussion (freedom to assemble and freedom of speech). It's perplexing that you'd mention it in a rebuttal.

3.) The city approved the permit, then tried to rescind it, and a judge forced them to comply with their own permit approval. When counterprotesters became increasingly violent, police forced the racists to leave the park then failed to escort them out, allowing the violence to continue. This is government persecution on several levels.

4.) If you can't be bothered to sit and watch video of the incident I don't know what to tell you. They showed up in full battle rattle like Antifa always does. They threw urine, bottles and rocks at the racists and the police. YouTube: it's free. Tons of unedited video of this.


Reply to Dunny Ramsay: Apparently the U.S. has developed missiles that can intercept and destroy intercontinental ballistic missiles.  If they can do that, they should be able to develop the capability to deflect an asteroid from hitting planet Earth.  If a large rockface in the Azores threatens to fall into the sea in a single chunk, it would make sense for people to develop a system to break off small pieces over a period of time.  It would make sense to find a way to slowly release the pressure under caldera at Yellowstone.  Don't all those courses on time management say that effective people (and effective governments? ) are supposed to work on their "A" priorities instead of on their "B", "C", and "D"  priorities?


These are good ideas Clayton and should be implemented along with others.


No more feet left to shoot themselves in!


THINK and HONOR aren't part of his vocabulary


This otherwise comprehensive editorial would have benefitted from mentioning the fact that multiple federal district judges across the country have stayed implementation of this ill-considered and poorly-implemented policy.


There has absolutely been a "real reduction" in state workers.  Just ask the people we are watching walk out the door in Juneau.  You can't prop up your arguments with fallacies and generalizations.  After yet another round of cuts via these line item vetoes, the state of Alaska has one of the five smallest government budgets in the nation.  And most of those other small state governments have taxpayer generated revenue to pay for services.  We can't not have skin in the game as oil declines, unless, you want to do away with government services that many would complain about if they weren't provided.  So - what do you do?  What services are not essential to the majority of Alaskans?   For the people who do work, and work well, you want them not to have merit based raises.  Fair enough - that cuts about 65 million in a year.  Certainly not the CAUSE of all budget woes as that represents about 1.7% of the total budget deficit.  So blaming government workers doesn't pass the smell test.


jerry69, pretty accurate. yes, he was treated unfairly, from conception. go talk to some homeless people and you can find many similar stories, except your racist statement about 'free ride and 21M'. when white america understands their complicity in poverty, or sixty percent of us actually experience it, then and only then will things get better. the super wealthy pay to store their cash and have more than enough to create living wage jobs for everyone. won't happen because they love keeping us divided and fighting each other.


Unfortunately the changes proposed affect doctors, other professionals, farmers, small business owners, etc., etc.

Your comments, while directed at doctors are not based on fact - if doctors can be unfairly penalized then all other groups affected will also be unjustly affected. This is not about "fairness" it is about pulling ever more cash from a certain segment of society for government to spend.

The problem with this whole issue is that there are far too many completely uniformed Canadians, spurred on by the rhetoric of Butts, Trudeau and Moreau against the "rich" doctor/small business owner/professional who have formed an opinion on this issue without the complete facts at their disposal. Because Trudeau tells you that an employee earning $50,000 on salary pays more tax that a small business owner making $250,000 - do you just believe it and start commenting?

Think independently, get the facts and form your opinion. I have.


The USA is in the early stages of self discovery and distrustful distruction.   A new world Civil War.


Thise darn liberal, socialist Republicans, always taking whats not theirs.


"Recent house price increases in Toronto are being driven by demand from foreign and domestic buyers".

That is only part of the story.

It should be also reported that, among domestic buyers, just like in Vancouver, there are lots of millionaires working overseas who bought, for themselves and family, Canadian passports and Canadian citizenship through our investor immigrant programs over recent years. Those folks are new Canadians who bought their way here, for themselves and their student children and spouses.

It is important for newspapers to make that clear, because THAT is what actually caused house prices to skyrocket in Vancouver and Richmond and South Surrey and other places, NOT foreign buyers or what most people assume when they hear "domestic buyers".

In order to address a situation, a first step is to recognize the nature of the situation.


Great article! Thank you for reporting on this event and the various viewpoints that were presented.
May I suggest another angle--
The greatest American generation was/is the generation that survived the Depression and World War II--many of them came out stronger, more pragmatic,  with a more accurate sense of reality and yet positive and good humored. (I grew up among them).
Hard times can bear good fruit if we face the challenge.  We were already reaching the point of a mentality preceding civil war and the Trumpian mess is forcing us to face it.  We need to re-establish the best of the concepts on which our nation was founded--"that all [humans] are created [genetically] equal  and endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights..."  [and responsibilities].


Actually, the crime rate is not "skyrocketing" in Eugene, it's relatively stable from one year to the next.


The front page again, anti-Trump.  Daily news used to be measured - no longer.


live in ottawa,

   But that's my point. We shouldn't have let Mulroney push us so much closer into the orbit of the US, (including NAFTA). We shouldn't have let Chretien further right wing to match the American drift to the right. We shouldn't have followed Harper in making us so much more like Americans
(Lovers of war, appeasers of Israel, folks who do anything for money, very little for democracy and struggling Canadians).
  If we had maintained our left-of-centre Anti-American independence, the US and the world would be so much better for it.


what resources are you talking about? what benefits? as far as benefits, there are some that I never use nor will I ever use. why then does the state force others to pay for something we don't want? as far as skin in the game goes, I already pay the state through the borough about $3500 annually and now they want more.


Francis and his modernists buddies not only can't comprehend theology, they also are incapable of policing themselves.


ADN. Please remove this article.  It is not NEWS and all you are doing is keeping them in the spot light.  Besides, you should never need to use other media outlets postings. We have plenty of real news to report on without having to do that. Thanks.


Boy, you sure hate the 2nd amendment and those that believe in it and don't want it diminished. How would you feel if they came after the 1st amendment like they do the 2nd? I bet you'd be livid! You probably feel the 1st makes us safer, right? I mean you can have your say and call people names(demagogue, cotton candy hair etc) but if you lived in say North Korea and said such things, you'd probably be executed and nobody would ever know. Each amendment is as important as the next, there's a reason #1 is speech and #2 is guns, not like they just tossed those in at the end to fill up space. How has he been too lazy to reverse the flow? It hasn't been his job, that was on Obama's watch.


Remember when Trump Defied Louisiana's Governor To Heroically Deliver Play-Doh To Flood Victims ?
(VIDEO)
http://thepoliticus.com/content/trump-defies-louisiana-governor-heroically-deliver-play-doh-flood-victims-video
He's such a vacuous buffoon, …and petty con man.
And a traitor.


An eloquent piece, well written and worth reading. Unfortunately, the ethos of any company or government trickles from the top down. In our case from the Union Buildings. Hence, in spite of all intentions, we as ordinary citizens are now stuck with a government of entitled politicians, arrogant blue light convoys, surrounded by a stagnant economy, growing poverty and unemployment, a schooling system which as failed our children, service delivery which does not deliver etc. Every day we are confronted by theft, graft, lies and obfuscation. Cadre deployment has failed the country, the SOEs are a bankrupt mess, municipalities do not function.  It never seems to end. Tell me Mr Mbeki, how do we turn this ship around .....  ?


I think too many of the commentators here are confusing allowing a person to make a refugee claim, a UN-backed policy, and accepting a person's refugee claim. Most of these recent refugee claims, particularly those of single males, are rejected relatively quickly. And Germany actually returns their rejected refugee claimants.


CP, again I agree with 90% of what you say, however, how do you label Trump as a racist when he acknowledged he does not like the various hate groups. You have inferred based on his statement that both parties are to blame for the violence. Granted, the protestors are wrong promoting their beliefs, but, how can you not say the anti-protestors did nothing wrong? It takes 2 to tango and "some" of the blame resides with the anti-protestors. But to surmise that Trump is a racist is invalid.


Yes, that was a typo that I did not notice.  Unfortunately, Civil Comments makes it impossible to edit a post after 6 minutes, so I guess it will remain.


Find me ANY article in any other publication about this mini-scandal that refers to him as Dr. Potter.

As for Matthias, a real ringer for Cheers' know-it-all Cliff Claven, we're not talking about the origin of the term doctor. We're talking about its use in Canadian publications. But, gee, you sure are smurt.


They're useful for:

1. Long distance shooting.
2. Competition
3. Practice
4. Plinking/recreational shooting
5. Varmint hunting
6. Big game hunting, in the proper caliber and legal magazine.
7. Self-defense.

Sure, there are other guns that can do any of these better, but an AR is the only gun that can do them all. You can go from a self-defense gun chambered in .300 Blackout with low penetration rounds to an upper with a 16" or 18" barrel for competition to a 24" long range shooting barrelled upper in about 10 seconds per change.

We have 13 million ARs and AKs in civilian hands with hundred of millions of 30 round magazines. Less than 300 people are killed each year with any kind of rifle, and handguns and shotguns are easy substitutes for a rifle in the close up killing we see from these nutcases.


This right wing Liberals story is so old, it's growing wings - two right wings.
  The BC "Liberals" expropriated power for 16 years with cheap tax cuts for the middle class while the bottom 50% suffered. They always promised help for "families". But only helped middle class families.
  Jean Chretien never did change course after eight years of "Lyin Brian's" term as PM ended in 1992. He pushed Canada relentlessly and ruthlessly to the right wing, in the process deteriorating democracy, waging class war against the poor and middle class.
   Is Justin being "obstructed" by all North America's right wing institutions, particularly the multinational corporate billionaire oligarchy that runs Canada? Justin doesn't care any more than Obama cared.  It's always up to the people of Canada to care enough so that profiteers don't push us down the slope of fascism.
   Anything else is colluding for a deluding.


Donovan DLC....no wonder Leno said "politics is Hollywood for the UGLY"


Not a platitude but a fact of the nature of being a compassionate human being.  When a person vilifies another it is that person who is filled with anger and hatred and who suffers.  Give it a little more thought.


Apparently the trick over the next four years is going to be to find constructive social and economic policies, and putting them on twitter in a way that hurts Trump's ego if he doesn't implement them. Ego stroking appears to be the top priority of this new administration, which could provide some opportunities.


Can the Denver Post create a new section just to cover pot related crime?


Uh. . . the rulings of the courts.


It's not easy doing nothing.


How many Chiefs and Band Councilors have ever achieved the level of graft and corruption of this third party 'manager'? Indeed, this is another clear case of INAC corruption.


What is the basis of this opinion?  And do you oppose Dual Immersion programs? Kids are capable of being bi or multilingual.  It happens all over the world.


I don't mean this comment to be snarky or sarcastic in any way, but there are four BILLION dollars resting now on the expense side of the ledger, representing payouts of all forms (rightful restitution, therapy, overinflated legal expenses, etc.) associated with the child sexual abuse scandal.  There have also been, and continue to be, grossly inflated costs for sprucing up various cathedrals and other facilities, which certainly could have been done more modestly.  The money is/was there to pay decent wages.


*SIGH*  Insurance rates were going up with or without ACA.  The fact is they went up less then projected but you can't prove how high they would have gone without ACA.  Just be careful what you wish for.  Medicare is an excellent program and health care costs are lower for those in the medicare group - and not just out of pocket.  Because the federal government can negotiate for the entire group the rates charged for standard care are also lower.  It's a good model and works better than private for profit insurance.  These are facts and yet people spin facts in the most awful ways to make lies into truths.  Anyone who wants to pay full retail cost for their healthcare in the USA is either insane or insanely wealthy.  We have got to collectively support each other's healthcare or we will all die early deaths (well, except for the wealthy).


Harbor Freight has a 12-volt dual horn that produces 135 decibels for $14.99.

135 dB is 'louder than a gunshot' but there is no 'nausea' until 141 dB and you have to get to 144 dB before vision is blurred due to eyeball vibration.

A 152 dB three horn air horn (152dB Vibration is painful and felt in joints; 153dB Throat vibrating so hard it is impossible to swallow) would cost $138.95.

Murthy is as insane as Caldwell -- let's extend the system in both directions and -- then go to the North Shore. How about a Chunnel System to every neighbor island?


u5a1a1 injected UK and other foreign governments into the discussion presumably to demonstrate that those governments could control national healthcare after it was stated that the US federal government has never demonstrated the capability of managing with better outcomes the nearly 67% of national healthcare that it currently funds and administers.
I questioned whether u5a1a1's statement was asserting whether a foreign government should control US national healthcare as u5a1a1's statement makes little sense otherwise.


Fake news


After throwing these peanuts to consumers, you just know the CRTC's going to give away the farm to the corporations with a subsequent decision.


This is rich; the lady wants the police and natural resources to develop a humane approach.  Then she notes that they had only tracked it for two hours.  Just how much time and resources does she think the police have, and, are they the ones to deal with this in the first place?  This falls directly onto the lap of the Minister responsible  for natural resources.   It is apparent that there are no resources, leaving the police the unenviable task of shooting the bear.  They probably don't feel too good about it, but if the proper agencies don't work after dark, there is no other choice.


Saudi Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal, arrested on money laundering & CORRUPTION, is also CLINTON's #1 top donor.
The MSN will probably tell us it's nothing.


ARCO was using the same technology attached to a Cessna 172 in the Dallas Fort Worth area flying over know oil fields. The technology obviously didn't work because they still use explosive sounding to discover shelf deposits. It likely didn't work because of what you describe, but in its infancy it was theorized that they would be able to identify objects / stuff sub-terrain


Open your Own Wallet or Purse, the Democrat's State of Hawaii does not have their Own Money.


a story was published by the New York Times saying it created fewer than 300 jobs while giving $140-million in refunds since 2008.

However, the Liberal party said a study by the government found the program created 1,140 jobs between 2004 and 2007.

Classic Clark.  Get asked question A and give the answer to question B.


I am not sure you are correct but it is a interesting theory.  What about the opportunity for the guest workers?

Do you really believe that Rolo and his staff will do anything drastically different?  Dream on.  You know, I hate it when coaches (including Rolo) say we cannot do this or that because of the opponents strengths.  If you really come to play, then do what you do, don't make excuses.  I don't think at the AFA, they think that way, but believe anything is possible with the right and positive attitude.


I'm more inclined to think that the network execs have run out of ideas. A reboot with new characters is one thing, but a revival with all the original stars is just zombieism.


I'll save Northside the trouble by posting on his behalf. :

Another lucky win for the Leafs thanks to three fluke goals within 42 seconds in fhe first period. Apart from the fact that they scored more goals than their opponents, the whole team sucked and there are statistics to back this up. Babcock was a joke behind the bench and Auston Matthews is the next Alexandre Daigle. The Leafs will collapse in the final four games of the season because they always do and that will be really hilarious. Leafs fans can't see past the crests on their sweaters and the score of the last game because they are really dumb, unlike the fans of the unnamed team that I support.

Did I miss anything?


You're right, we do agree on rail.  I'm sorry if I sounded defensive.  I think a lot of people just do not realize that just about everyone is paying for our roadways -- the vehicle weight tax and fuel tax are just not enough to pay for it all.


"It's not a function of economics, of salary, of anything. It's, 'Look, we've got a job in Bristol Bay for three-and-a-half weeks.' That's hard to hire anyone for."

It's not?  Raise the wages, you'll get workers.  Why does economics go out the window when talking about labor but not their business profits?


You people are going to have to step it up big time, if this cash cow is ever going to fly.  If one of you would do my part too, that would be nice.


Oh please


You will eventually find yourself on the wrong side of history.


"The Pope and Mussolini" is an excellent, if distressing, book that has been dismissed in these threads (by people who haven't even read it) as "anti-Catholic." It draws on exhaustive research, including previously unavailable material from the Vatican archives, by a respected historian, David I. Kertzer, the Paul Dupee, Jr. University Professor of Social Science, Professor of Anthropology, and Professor of Italian Studies at Brown University. This book won the Pulitzer Prize in 2014 for Biography or Autobiography.

Thank you for mentioning it.


I hear Trudeau writes "Sunny Ways" in the memo section of his checks


Pull out of NATO and concentrate our efforts on protecting our interest in the Arctic.


Ok...it took the Las Vegas PD about 90 minutes to find the shooter. They have no leads or no possible motive. The shooter's girlfriend appeared to be in an abusive relationship with him where it's been reported he readily berated her in public.

The shooter made over $5 million last year from gambling. How is all this possible? Has he come back from the future that he is beating the odds time and time again?

Maybe it's that the FBI and Las Vegas PD are a bunch of idiots and believe what they're being told? There was some sort of "note" in the ugly hotel room where the shooter killed himself. All this sounds like nothing but a bunch of incompetent people involved. The worst part is the authorities will never know his motive...but I am sure his girlfriend has some sort of idea even if she has blocked it out of her mind or is too clueless to realize why the shooter did what he did...or she's in on it too.


I see the "deplorable" thing has stuck with Hillary supporters. It's a shame really.


In your case argument, no one can disagree if a kid's life is at risk without good cause.  It would then have been inexcusable should the mother have continued on the flight with the toddler not seated as you would require.  While the airline is liable civilly for monetary contract damages, your logical reasoning then compels that the mother be criminally prosecuted for neglect or similar if she had put the kid's life unreasonably and inexcusably at risk.  If it is as serious as you claim, then hopefully, here, the mother deboarded the plane with her child?  If not, then perhaps a complaint should be filed against the mother?


Oh AT, poor little you! That line "I pay twice"...doh! You are doing your part to support the public square, sorry to hear it's such a burden.


Once again, in any coverage I have seen of the mayors race, the one thing that I never see is any position where they want to see economic development in the City.  With both of them already supporting the completion of the rail, any discussion around the issue is only there to facilitate it's end - get more money, audit the books, kick the managers out, change the law - the thing is plowing ahead to get done.

My one question to both of them now is "okay, you believe in the rail, now how is it going to help us with economic development in the City and County?" If both of them feel it is better to just rest on their record (Caldwell) or blame the other guy (Djou), than this very critical question about economic development, which we should all be asking as voters, will never be asked.

Perhaps we should start.


When 'bluster' is backed up by significant military assets, results are sometimes attained.

Example:  President Putin in the Ukraine.  Example:  President Obama re:  Syrian Poison gas destruction.  Example:  President Obama's attack on Libya to topple Khadaffi.


Prediction is very difficult especially about the future, but I am quite confident in the G&M continuing their semi paranoid pattern of censorship and a return of Vorticism.


You ever been to a 1030 movie? When were you driving home? Did you take your kids to a midnight showing EVER? It's just that people feel the need to baselessly blame the victim or their family when you don't know either from Adam.


Dan Sullivan likes it? The same Dan Sullivan who chopped the police force down to nothing?  He eleminated APD positions AND special police teams such as the gang unit and others because "Anchorage didn't have a gang/crime problem". All in the name of tax savings.  . Anchorage is now a cesspool with your name on it. It is going to be a long road to get this place cleaned up to where it is a decent city again. I worry every time my wife a kids go somewhere in this town alone. Thanks for the "savings". What a joke


What does the USPO have to do with it? I never mail my ballot.


We had a birth at Sacred Heart (at the old location) that bordered on malpractice.. It ended with a nurse cutting my newborn baby's foot with desk scissors, removing her ankle tag without looking at what she was doing. She had to get stitches.. as a newborn.. It was a HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE experience, start to finish, everything from pushing formula, refusing to give lactation training, moving us to a shared room so they could have the single room for a 'potluck', broken blinds, freezing room, disdainful nurses and ambivalent treatment..
It culminated a few weeks later with me having to go back for a post birth hemorrhage (retained placenta) that almost cost me my life..  Never, ever again.. I never heard from the nurse who cut a dime sized piece of skin off of my baby's foot.. not even an 'I'm sorry'.


“Conservative leadership hopefuls engage in lively debate amid crowded 14-person field”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was not a debate. It was 2 hours of the candidates reading their scripted monologues. Even during the rebuttal segments, they largely ignored anything their opponents said and went back to their talking points. They couldn’t even get a rise out of O’Leary, who was the target of several jabs. The verdict..... a lacklustre performance by all concerned.


It is easy to see why the NDP-Green alliance is doomed to fail.
1) A power hungry NDP leader who will make rookie mistakes........power intoxicates.
Take his opposition to the Trans Mountain expansion as an example. A political leader cannot directly influence the job of a Career City official who has to make decisions based on set guidelines. (Imagine a City official not giving you a building permit for your house because you voted for a different political party).
2) A Green Party that will feel side-lined by the NDP .
3) A well oiled Liberal party that will make the NDP-Green leaders look like school children!


Please re-calibrate your BS meter.

1.) There was an incident but they did NOT destroy the entire herd - It's there to this day.

2.) I don't believe it was Kipnuk

3.) There was no taxpayer funded caribou transplant project. The herd augmented itself from the Mulchatna herd - but that discrete Kilbuck herd is still there.


Thanks, I'll enjoy it even more with your history wrapped up in it!


Yes, Trump is a genius!


I've never seen that protest sign here before...has anyone else?


Thanks for the numbers !
Might we expect the G&M to publish this compared to our current rather futile solar and wind generation efforts - especially the cost ?
Also please note that France made an exclusive comittment to nuclear years ago - no problems or diseasters I am aware of. They keep the lights on in Germany .....


Seems the gloves are off. Using Presidential powers as he fades into the background is completely classless. It more classless wen he is blocking issues that are not really within his realm. Yes he has the power, but his childishness is starting to show. The USA has enough problems without Obama being a knob on his way out.


Will there be a separate category for the 97% of these occurrences that turn out to be fake hate crimes committed by Trump-haters, or will the Denver Post continue with it's fake news theme and lump them all together?

She was part of the problem, not the solution. Won't be missed.


I think you completely misread my post, Rich Mole. What I said is that the KKK, the white supremacists and other alt right groups overwhelmingly voted for Trump. Without their votes he would not be POTUS and he would not stand a chance for re-election. Are you surprised that he is not prepared to lose their support by condemning them by name? I am not.
.
The problem is that Trump is tacitly endorsing those groups' actions by refusing to publicly and explicitly condemn them.

They must have a MASSIVE farm if 3200 is just what they've lost!  Here in ON, 200 acres would be considered a pretty decent-sized farm.

Wow! A new Guinness record set by LeMaster for linking the President in the furthest possible way from what is reported and what the President is actually responsible for! You sir, are the new champion TRUE Alaskan, congratulations!


Not only have house prices risen but so has rent.  Many people are paying rents that could be mortgage payments, and the home never feels like yours.   As well, when you’re a tenant you can be evicted at anytime and thrust into the chaos of the rental market which in many places is extremely limited. When you have a family that can be a very uncomfortable situation to endure.


Remind me again: How many cops have been shot by the BLM whose leaders were featured at Democrat political events and invited to the White House?


" Ontario’s Liberals take a big step to the left"

No. Ontario Liberals need to take a big step AWAY from us. Don't let the door hit you.


"Some debates are merely academic. This one isn’t. If you believe that people are rational and markets are efficient, this will largely determine your views on gun control (unnecessary), consumer protection laws (caveat emptor), welfare programs (too many unintended consequences), derivatives regulation (let a thousand flowers bloom), whether you should invest in passive index funds or hyperactive hedge funds (index funds only), the causes of financial crises (too much government intervention in housing and mortgage markets), and how the government should or shouldn’t respond to them (the primary financial role for government should be producing and verifying information so that it can be incorporated into market prices).

"The financial crisis became a battleground in a greater ideological war. One of the fi rst casualties was the former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan, the man who journalist Bob Woodward called the “Maestro” in his biography of that name published in 2000."


While seeing a billion dollar gain turn into a 2 billion dollar loss couldn't happen to a finer group of individuals than the criminals that run Target, the Trumpettes must all be quite thick.  Even "Made in America" products have foreign content.  Isolating that supply chain from the real world could start a US recession.


Paedophilia for the perpetrators would most probably not rate as sin in the first place, let alone a crime. It is 'normality' for these people and should be recognized as such if the ever approach the Sacrament of Reconciliation. If there is any residual sense of guilt for 'sin' they need to be told that absolution is contingent on them handing themselves into the police or to an agency which has the mandatory duty to report.
The Australia Bishops should know this and stop playing PR games to impress the Royal Commission and Australian Catholic laity and priests  who came to the conclusion long ago that they (bishops) have lost their moral authority.


Hey look at the react buttons that have been made against your post. It is a landslide! You are cuckoo.


Does Trump own any wineries, golf courses, or hotels in south Texas?


42% of 13,300 ballots.  The majority of votes being against Trump.  A lot of support for Trump coming from those he brought into the party.   If that is the base, the base is not very large and it is not the majority.


Dick,
I think you have it backwards. It is because of the distraction of religion in schools that is causing this in the first place.

I have no issue with people practicing their particular brand of religion, but the public school system is not the place.


I'm copyrighting the term  "quantum-aggressions".  I might as well add "neuro-aggressions".


Most of which will likely yield disappointing results.


This story shows that the one-year limit may not be suitable for some cases. It is not one-size-fits-all. At least in this case there are sponsors who are still interested and willing to look out for them. I wonder about the government-sponsored refugees who could lose all supports at the 1-year mark.


No worries: the budge will balance itself.


Maybe we are going about this backwards. All government information should be automatically public and searchable unless and independent panel judges that it should be protected. Sunlight is a good disinfectant.


Thousands??


Port Arthur!!

Its' been Thunder Bay since  Fort William _+ Shunia + McIntyre + P.A. were amalgamated .....in 1970


There's no whining in football.

I'm not arguing the simple point of motivation anymore, this crap is ridiculous.


This article erroneously excluded the very top-ranked public university from the list of top public universities: UC Berkeley now ranks 20th, four places higher than UCLA, and even higher than the other three public universities listed.


Still HNL......right?


She's lying through her teeth.


Typical post from an Intolerant, Left Dem. Name calling seems to be their one, consistent theme.


We have a lot of people who act in the best interest of America.  Unfortunately we're saddled with the Trump administration who fires them when they do.  Things would go a lot smoother if Trump wasn't trying to force his narrative down everyone's throats.  If he spent less time trying to make the facts fit his narrow world view and more time dealing in reality, such as giving due consideration to intelligence agencies instead of arguing with them, we'd see less abrupt 180s like Trump's newfound support of the "One China" doctrine.


Why is it even the City of Toronto (!!) can get it right and have a Canadian performer on Canada day ... yet the Care Bear government in Ottawa brings in a couple of Irish guys?


Trump wants local police departments to work with ICE.  The federal government cannot force that.

Your facts are all mixed up.  None of this has anything to do with whether anyone personally likes Trump.  He is drowning in a cesspool of conflicts that he created, and he is falling over himself to fail.  How did the repeal & replace Obamacare thing work for you?  Republicans did that - not people who don't personally like Trump.

He knows almost none of the things a President needs to know.  Thankfully, the courts will stop his illegal and unconstitutional acts.


At least there was no reference to a State DOT "spokesman", then again, if I recall the DOT will not comment after last posted article.  I'm curious if the DOT had any influence on the contract award(s), change orders, etc.  Perhaps we should reach out to President Trump and get him to manage getting project completed...perhaps he'll end up using just the unspent  $1 million "$1 million still unspent from the original Segawa contract in December 2015 when the hangar job shut down, and yet the state then extended the consultant’s contract by another $2.4 million last May." and get it done!  (i.e. skating rink).


LOL classic.

Wolf!  Wolf!  Wolf!  And the credibility dwindles....

They should start prosecuting media who publish garbage like this.  The media should be held accountable for the inaccuracy of their "reports", and I don't care if it's on the right or the left or any other position.


Even if Trump were to leave the White House tomorrow, he wouldn’t take the hate he has whipped up over the past several years with him. Trump, arguably more so than any post-Eisenhower Republican President who came before him, has erected a form of psychological Jim Crow in this country, making it virtually impossible for Americans to coexist across the barriers of identity and ideology.


Why does one have to "friend" people one doesn't particularly like or barely knows (if at all)?  No one is obligated to accept every friend request they receive, and we don't all have to use social media the way you would prefer us to.  The snark directed at her for not feeling the same degree of closeness/desire to keep in touch with everyone she knows is just nasty.


I think this reporter is making a mountain out of a molehill.  he asked Sen. Wilson what he thought of article; Wilson gave him a tap..It seems to be like it was a tap or a playful gesture in response to the reporter's question.


It only your tax money
Piss off she says


Without mainstream awareness of who is and isn't running for each office we cannot possibly get out of this closed circle.  News media in Hawaii chooses to focus only on top candidates, as if they are the only ones that exist.  In a closed loop system you cannot get fresh ideas and non-corrupted candidates.  One responder last week suggested that those who weren't at the top of the heap need to 'earn their way up through the ranks' - which is a coded way of saying they must learn who holds the true power and bow to them - in other words be coopted into the same closed loop system.  In Hawaii we end up with incompetent leaders and cradle to grave employment for the anointed few, who play musical chairs to move from one position to another.  Dismal system.  Civil Beat is doing its best to expose us to all candidates - but they are not TV or in every home.


What's the meaning of the Latin word "munio"  http://www.wordhippo.com/what-is/the-meaning-of/latin-word-2bf5ebb726acd49f30b8368cf815a0be7460f76b.html


" I was a 17-yr-old co-op student and he insisted on massaging my shoulders as I typed."

Really? You're comparing shoulder massages to rape? Those are not the same thing. Just because you experienced discomfort, and something happened to you that was wrong, does not mean you were sexually assaulted. What these women went through with Weinstein was horrifying, it shouldn't be trivialized.


So we have to cut essential services but we can afford $41M to upgrade the Muldoom interchange? Tucrapnu caused major traffic issues.


There is a reason why coaches have abandoned the 4-3 when found facing high-octane offenses. Nothing to do with player's IQ. If you do not have an interior lineman that is so dominant that he requires a double team, it simply does not work and you cannot get pressure on the QB.


Yep, she was one clever lady.  Almost made a career out of her impersonation, but now her destiny may be that of a Walmart associate.

However, anything is possible nowadays, Elizabeth Warren shamelessly parlayed her impersonation into lucrative academic and political careers.  And, perhaps a slim majority would vote for her as US President based on the 'D' after her name and her being a solid socialist.


So we can enjoy three years of President Mike Pence? . . . possibly the strongest argument one can make against impeachment right there.


Mr Trudeau and Ms Wynne, say what you want about them, all they do is win.  They know the politics of division (e.g. men against women, middle-class vs the wealthy, "old stock" vs new Canadians), while accusing your opponents of exactly that, is a sure-fire winner with today's Canadians.


The Left can shout
And the Left can scream
But one thing is sure…
The Left can’t meme.


In other words the la la land mayor sees more money being funneled to his parasitic city from the rest of the province- who wanted the NDP and Greens punted.........he could be right.....sadly.  The left progressive mentality or mental illness,   will drain any hard working person of their last cent, and they think nothing of making people jobless and homeless, as long as their feel good bs is being played out..   Selfish and stupid, a bad combination.


This contradicts what you wrote earlier when you said the sex abuse crisis was a corporate failure.  So which is it?


re: Political Activity:

I'd rather a columnist's political views were clearly visible and stated. Let's get those biases and agendas in the open so that the reader can make a more informed opinion on their own. In Europe, newspapers were born out of political parties, the parties ran their own news papers, so readers know exactly what politcal slant that particular paper wrote for. I'd rather see something similar here. Otherwise, it makes it look like there is something to hide.

...now, as for the claims that media is under attack, etc. I'd like the media to acknowledge their own role in the continually sinking levels of trust we have with the news and media. Often the news is selectively reported, with half-truths, omissions, certain stories are given more leverage if there is good shock or click bait value, and frankly with such drastic consolidation of the media, we think you're all beholden to your corporate masters and money. We don't trust you, why should we?


You are repeating yourself.  Current warming is not slowing down.  Coming off an El Nino high is not slowing down.  It is expected internal variation.  I commented on your cooling argument above.


The "Civil Comments" software allows one to MUTE other commentators, after which you'll never need see their comments ever again.


And that is a FACT!!!


Check your mailbox this week. I think you will have been promoted to the curia. A high position, no less.


Bernier's internal communications campaign -- to Party members -- was consistently tone-deaf and awkward, as was his key platform of throwing core Conservative voters (i.e. farmers) under the bus. He would have won with a better communications voice and without the anti-farmer message. But that voice and platform never wavered. His brags were off-putting, to say the least. The Conservative Party gained members to stop people like Bernier -- it's why he lost the vote in his home riding. It would have lost me, a lifelong member and former riding President, if Bernier had won. It wasn't his poor English, it was his platform and bad emailing...


I know a few retired people that do this to supplement their retirement. Most of the people I know have been trapping in the valley for 30+ years before all these anti-people came here.


You realize that's a compliment, don't you?


It's not that complex.

Holiness is hard, the pursuit of virtues too is hard, but both are rather simple.

Racism is just another vice, an ugly one to be sure.
But it is certainly less ugly than killing our own offspring.
It's less ugly than adultery in fact.
It's really really awful, but it's less awful than these other things I've mentioned.

It has a sort of fashionable "valence", that allows some people on both sides to take umbrage with.  Focusing on it, sort of give some people a comfortable distance from having to work on their own nagging defects that are disrupting the REAL here and now relationships they have with their families, neighbors, and co-workers.

So (the topic) can distract us from the HARDER work of personal holiness.

It sort of gives people air cover to be seen as on the higher moral ground.  "I was at the protest...see Facebook picture I posted!!"

But if we're honest, it provides cover for some to not focus on cleaning up their own defects and vices.


As George Patton put it, no one ever won a war by dying for his country. He made some other poor bastard die for his country.


There is no longer any credibility in the denial of climate change.  One might just as well deny the reality of gravity.  Frankly, people who accept the findings of science in all aspects of their lives want to deny what scientists are telling us about our culture of death killing the planet.  Some deniers are simply ignorant of what's happening, while others fear having to change their greedy lifestyles, and still others would rather live in denial than face the truth.  Sadly, so long we delay taking serious action to preserve and nurture the world God gave us, the more people will suffer and die.  19 of the 20 so-called 'G-20' nations recently reaffirmed the reality of climate change and their commitment to the Paris Climate Accord.  One nation - the USA - represented the ignorant, greedy, and those in denial, and denied the reality that climate change threatens all life on the planet.


You do realize that you mentioned "leaving oil in the ground" three times? Your fixated on that one sentence and virtually ignoring the rest of the it. Oh you do talk of running railcars half full and lower speeds, but even that minimal step isn't even on the table for consideration by the powers that be. You can remove Margolis' "leaving oil in the ground" comment all you like and it won't make a hill of beans, few if any of the things he's addressed will be acted on, period, end of sentence. And it has nothing to do with safety vs stopping oil production(hint: it's profits)  but go on believing your fantasy it's that one sentence that's holding up real action on this. Nothing more to add.


The most ridiculous aspect to these 'dense' developments is the lack of space for an automobile...so where do the owners/leasers of these dense developments park their automobiles? They park in the street. How in the world is parking in the street permanently allowed by the City? This isn't temporary parking...like a person visiting....this is permanent parking.

How is there not an ordinance requiring X parking space per X residents for these developments? Who is asleep at the wheel, when approving these designs?

It's a selfish design and thought process, if you take a public space currently being used by pedestrians, bicyclists, and others, and permanently change the space to a parking solution for people living in these units.


Not at all.

If they've shown that they're a danger to society,  prudence and justice demand that society be protected against them.

But that doesn't stop them from sanctifying the world around them.


be of good cheer, he will be out before the day is done, and by tonight he will have plenty of heroin.


Boldy spoken.  Now show us the evidence.  No sources here means you have none. By the way...the MSM likes to say "sources said", then they never name them.  And usually it is "one source".  CNN does that all the time now.  It lasts for a day or two, then suddenly disappears.  lol!

When you have zero evidence, they just make up unnamed, phantom "sources" that don't exist.
OK, so, now show us YOUR evidence please....


Regardless, there is not valid reason but sexism as to why that priest need not be female.


Don't waste your breath, if France would convert to Sharia Law Sher would be singing their praise from hear to eternity.


The underground facility built in a purposed developed salt mine neat Carlsbad, New Mexico  is another  great place for this stuff.


So an opposing force captured an enemy combatant gravely wounded in combat, gave him medical care, jailed him, tried him, released him after time served and then returned him back to his country of choice to live his life.   Not a bad outcome given the historical context of how captured enemy combatants are usually treated.

That is the way justice works, case closed.

RIP Sgt. Speers, a grateful nation will not forget your sacrifice.


Canon law is a temporal matter.  The psycho-sexual-spiritual integrity of innocent souls is both presently and eternally priceless.  To believe in a "god" who is more concerned with canon law is goofy.  Canon law is not infallible, it's just law and it can be changed when common sense would indicate.


Is it the popular vote that Determines who is elected president? Who just had 8 years to amend the constitution? Ouch...sore loser alert.

and this is a Civil comments section so please stop name calling. What are you a deplorable or something?


Despots and fascists come in all colors and they don't like outsiders.

There have been multiple people gone missing or had to be rescued by SAR because of that irresponsible idiot Forrest Fenn.


Membership in satanic churches is soaring in Trump's America.

http://www.therooster.com/blog/membership-satanic-churches-soars-trumps-america

Looks like they've taken to spamming Canadian websites too.


Why, you ask?  Because Justin Trudeau doesn't know his rear end from first base.  His only interest is his personal aggrandizement on the world stage.  Looking at him preening for the press beside Ivanka Trump in NYC this week provided an opportunity for comparison on substance.  A professional, accomplished, highly-educated and successful business woman sitting beside what can be best described as puppet.


Green card recipients are considered "permanent resident" status. That is, they have already gone through the vetting process and given this distinction. The process can take two years or more. But if you apply for a green card and the application is approved you can work legally with a temporary SSN while your application is being processed. This is most likely the group that may be affected.


Excellent comment! People seem to forget (or blissfully ignore) that China is a full blown military dictatorship ruled by the Communist Party of China!

Democracy, justice, equality, freedom of speech and movement is not part of China!


Easy, Trump often ( too many times) opens mouth and inserts foot. I don't need any media explain to me what he says, I watch him live and I don't need people like you or Trump himself  to explain  me "what TRUMP really meant" after the fact.  If Trump does not want to be "misunderstood" then he has the power with words the same as us to come across in what he claims he is really saying.  Most of us voters speak English here, we get it.         LOL


.02,  If the state needs to pony up the oil entitlement payments then shouldn't the underpayments from the oil industry also be paid instead of waiting for an audit to catch them?  I believe the oil industry has shorted the state of Alaska every single year.


I'm waiting for him to win the Favourite Leader category on the Teen Choice Awards. We know he'll have time to pick it up.


I think to get a better understanding of the entire context, try watching Kate McKinnon's portrayal of her, in a very interesting skit from SNL ---- it is life imitating art and seriously an uncanny perspective.
Not sure what else can be said about this crude, willing to do anything for Trump woman......unique!


Oh yeah! I remember this show. It was fun! Also, I am glad the cops didn't bust out their M-16s to "spray and pray" all over the neighborhood. I think they have 30 round magazines now same as we did in the Army. Not that it matters that much, with proper training you can swap mags pretty damn fast. However, the "proper training" the EPD appears to need is in public relations and officer conduct, not playing soldier. Bullying and sexually abusing the unarmed members of the populace and appearing incompetent when confronted by an armed member? Yeah, let's not militarize these guys any more then they already are. That's inviting the Gestapo.


We fell off the GOP cliff long ago. World Class Hypocrites, like Palin. Time to WHACK spending and eliminate all but ESSENTIAL spending on things like Law Enforcement and road maintenance . We should not have to fund things like Medicaid, we should have a REAL Federal Health Care System that covers us ALL. Obama FAILED US there.

By trying to appease the Right side of the Isle...

Epic memories of '84 Free Peoples Concert with Stimela, and Ladysmith Black Mambasa with Paul Simon making a surprise appearance. Sjoe this is sad news! But deepest gratitude for the talent you are Ray Phiri. RIP now and forever - your work's surely done.


Most Canadians are not as fond of Fx News as the CPC supporters.


Really, there is nothing wrong with securing your borders. Canada is protected due to its geography (pretty hard for people to sneak in across the oceans or from the US), so doesn't have this problem to any great extent.

Still, Canada has to watch very carefully who we let legally into the country. To argue otherwise is foolish. CSIS should have more of a final say in vetting potential immigrants, and not be overruled by naive politicians, as is frequently the case.


He's a liar and soulless opportunist, just like The Lyin' King.


I like the idea of network connected devices such as wall plug timers and stove/microwave clocks to keep track of and adjust time following power outages and daylight savings adjustment intervals.


PD.

Thugs with guns.


The solition is somewhere between these two extremes.  Leaving people without healthcare is morally corrupt but the ACA has serious flaws that need to be rectified.  Sensationalized reporting like this does nothing but fan the flames.


Hey NP ... I'd like to vote on your arena poll, but it appears that you've disenfranchised everyone who isn't on Twitter.


Yep, can't remember when I've seen a Conservative picketing someones home or business. Maybe an abortion mill or two. I've seen liberals do it, though.


The best protection against investor fraud is for the investor to retain control of their financial affairs and follow some basic principles:

1.  Never defer investment decisions or trading to an advisor, salesperson, or promoter.  Those people may be sources of information that help guide your decisions - but ultimately you need to be in control of the decision.

2. Never invest in anything you don't understand or can't be easily explained to you.  It is either too good to be true or too complex for you to manage.

3. Never invest in anything that promises unrealistic or unusually high rates of return with unrealistic or unusually low stated levels of risk.

4.  Be wary of unsolicited investment advice be it from strangers, acquaintances or friends.  Sound investment advice is rarely offered on an unsolicited basis out of benevolence.


Why get a job when you can get the highest welfare in the country and surf all day?


The title of this column is "Teaching Civility In The Time Of Trump" which infers that it is he that is causing the rift. And yet, all these hate groups existed before he came to office.


You can't drive and talk on a cell phone but you can still endanger yourself, other cars and pedestrians by driving on icy streets and intersections with no more than worn (un-inspected) summer or all-season tires in most provinces in Canada. And you don't need a lot of snow to cause havoc. Edmonton falls to pieces most mornings after only a few cms of snow, and even without it, cars warming-up spew lots of water on roads that commonly refreezes in the core winter months each morning. Snow tires ought to be mandatory (as in Quebec) to ensure greater safety and long commuting delays when the latest dusting sends people into the ditches.  And if the provinces won't, insurance companies could still happily raise their rates for those drivers who chose not to buy snow tires. Safety shouldn't be an option.


Maybe we can find it right here, in the City of Eugene.


What do you expect  from TWO Democrats....................


Shame on you.


Interesting. He HAS violated the TOS. Twitter won't do anything about it, of course.


First of all... the U.S. government is not going to make any changes to their "right to work" laws because Canadian trade negotiators want them to.
I think Trudeau is simply pandering to the unions to maintain their support.
Unions, particularly public service unions, have way too much political influence here in Canada. At some point that will change.... it's simply an unsustainable situation.


I guess now we need to change the name from Bear Creek to Chicken Creek!


Bad parenting


Ontario has the big yellow rubber duck, surprising THAT  wasn't towed behind the "old icebreaker."

“Neo-Medieval Adventism” sure gets my attention, yet Dr. Edward Zinke is no Medievalists.  Nor is he a Modernist, as were the founders of Seventh-day Adventism.  “The Great Controversy” is Modern through and through, in that it takes great pains to explain very literally over the ages how humanity works, and thus its destiny.

This article seems almost desperate to paper over vanishing knowledge and failing prophesy by advocating a retrograde post-truth denominationalism for Seventh-day Adventists.

There is “a more excellent way,” compared with vanishing knowledge, failing prophesy, and tongues gone silent (1 Cor 13).  In the end as well as the beginning there is faith, hope and love.  It dawned clear the morning of October 23, 1844, after the ‘blasted’ failure of the previous night.  Clouds soon rolled in.

Let’s restart with that morning, rather than forever living to explain as light the darkness of midnight October, 22, 1844.

It sure seems nothing lost, nothing gained.


Surely the Queen of radical, alt-Left, anti-American, socialist, Progressive Democrat hubris either breathes only through her far Left nostril; or else, delusionally self-identifies having two far Left nostrils.

Pantfull, there is one big difference between you and I. I am *^%#*) smart. Very *^%#) smart. That is something U can not say for yourself.  I also know Scott, Foxtrot and Pantfull you have no response to my last posting. I will come out with class. I wish all 3 of you and your families a very Happy Holiday Season, and the best in good health for 2017. I hope you will take this advice for 2017. Post on here regarding the topic and get away from the personal attacks on myself. It gets you nowhere. Absolutely nowhere. If that is all you have to say, or type, then its not worth the wear on your fingers.


Satire...right?

No one is called an illegal migrant? So are they crossing the border using legal means or not? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills, irregular is used to describe a washroom experience after too much fibre. Illegal is used to describe what these migrants are doing by crossing the border outside of legal channels. They are breaking the law and are therefore illegal migrants. The most ridiculous part is that these migrants would be rejected if they tried to enter Canada through legal channels so they are effectively being rewarded for breaking the law.  Trudeau: "Please do not come to Canada..." Migrant: "Right but if we decide to come, will we be turned away?" Trudeau: "No, you will not be turned away, you will be welcomed with a bunch of free stuff". Migrant: "So if the alternative is to be deported from the US, why wouldn't we break the law to enter Canada?" Trudeau: (stunned look on his face)"because it's 2017?"  Migrant: "Ok so see you tomorrow (friends nodding in aggreement)..."


you know darn well that his commentary is slanted towards djou.  maybe trumpy is right, some media folks are rigged.


When will you liberals ever GROW UP and realize that islam REALLY IS The problem???
Our A.G. Douggie Chin and the ACLU need  to stop fighting President Trump and help him get his"Muslim ban" passed and put in effect.
islam is truly an evil "religion !!!
Will you liberals wake up and see the truth that islam is evil and satanic!!! Or will you or your family be killed by them first???


"And asked if he'd accept a fence instead of a wall, Trump said: "For certain areas I would, but certain areas, a wall is more appropriate. I'm very good at this, it's called construction." Trump added that "there could be some fencing."

LOL!! This election script had to have been written by Comedy Central. I'm so thankful that reality is sinking in, you know the reality that the wall can't be built, the reality that you can't round up and deport millions of immigrants, the absolute reality that Hillary Clinton will NOT be charged or indicted. Sorry guys and gals, no cigar. Your imaginary wall of the Knights Watch is fiction, you will be lucky to get a snow fence as we rally around Israel to solidify ownership of Golan Heights oil fields for the Cheney Clan and friends on the dollars of the American tax payer. Duped again....

Totally.  I wasn't super clear. To clarify, the WES line runs from Wilsonville to Beaverton transit center.  From Beaverton transit you have a hub to jump any max line easily.  One of the stops between wilsonville and BTC is in Tualatin, just a few blocks from Cabelas, etc.  Bridgeport is an easy walk as well...or a shuttle as I mentioned.
