If you’re blaming Harris you need to also blame Bob Rae and David Peterson.  The 407 tolling was because Peterson and then Bob Rae due to government revenue shortfalls.

Also the corridor reserved for Highway 403 between Burlington and Oakville was changed from being a 403 extension to 407 due to Mr. Rae.  Yet another mistake.

Unfortunately if your ship is on fire like Ontario was in the mid 1990's (post Bob Rae) you need to do whatever it takes to put it out. And yes Harris did sell it for far too little and didn't limited fee increases and a shorter lease, but don't put all the blame on him.


And unless they have a rational reason for objecting - and really, how could they? Then they are sexist throwbacks.


I didn't get that it was Manual from the article, but I could have made assumptions.  I would say assuming it is Manual wouldn't be prudent either.  It doesn't look like there's enough evidence either way.  I'm curious to know your experience with Manual, as I am a teacher who has subbed there. The kids have always been respectful to me and I am Caucasian.


Brett, no one believes you, because they know you're lying. Anyone who read Tulsi's statement knows that she did not compare herself to Eisenhower or Mink. She said that we should learn from their example, i.e. that we should be ready to talk with anyone we need to talk to with in order to pursue peace. You're lying and you know you're lying. You know you're misrepresenting what she said. When you lie about one thing, people aren't going to believe you when you say anything.


Gardner pandered on the issue to get into office and now is having to pay the price.
The next thing he gets to eat is a tax cut for the wealthy that will either give the rest of us nothing or raise our taxes.
His problem isn't that people are calling him on the right wing nonsense.  The problem is that the economic policies of his party are all designed to reward the rich at the expense of the rest of us.  At least they are only yelling.  In a less genteel age it would have been tar and feathers.


Awesome work Mike. A piece everyone needs to read. Thank you!!


I wonder if the congressman would like to leave his family, friends, and home to "be an economic development lift for Mexico and Central America." My god, just how thoroughly out-of-touch does one have to be to make a statement like this? I honestly didn't think the GOP had it in them to deport immigrants brought to our country as infants or small children, but once again, they have exceeded even my worst expectations.


You hypocrite.  I spent more money on one simple house purchase than I do on several visits to the dentist.  How dare you provide comment or pass judgement.  a lawyer - Physician - heal thyself.


Enough with the race card.


The liberal government is being run and influenced by leftist, socialists and academics together with a few wealthy individuals and a ski instructor drama teacher. 2019 please come soon.


I'm all for you making your choice. I'm all for all women being able to make their choice


Why does this article act like Lucic was McDavid's linemate for most of the season? He wasn't.

Maroon ended up taking the spot on McDavid's line that Lucic was supposed to occupy.


Roy Anthony...I'm just wondering about you and why you want to be so easy on crime?... In my opinion you are part of the problem and not the solution... maybe we'll all be reading your name here on ADN or some other website... your are the one that's disgusting for trying to minimize this tragedy and twist it around...


Wow!  Somebody with an empire.  This makes you an emperor.  We haven't had an emperor in his own mind since PET (which stood for Prince, Emperor and Tsar).

We are honoured, honoured I tells ya, to be graced by your presence and by you taking time from your very hectic schedule selling pencils on the corner of Yonge and Dundas in front of the Eaton Centre.

And we understand how you would rather write tiny and reviled posts here than to write actual full length columns in the Globe for money.

Do tell us more about your empire.

Is it larger than a 5 by 8 foot cell in a place where you get to wear special jackets that lock in the back?

BTW: Notwithstanding your usual bogus tripe about Spicer's lack of experience, he has been in the political communications field for years and has known and been on good terms with many of the senior journalists who cover The White House beat.  He smiles, jokes and is quick and likable.  Off to a bad start, I expect he will recover admirably.


Thank you for a thoughtful presentation of a global issue that should concern everyone on this planet. I am engaged this very day in Geneva with Governments, business and labour; there is complete agreement that the problems associated with refugees are complex, but urgent.  The costs of not acting is not just the cost today of maintaining basic supports for millions of people, but the lost contributions of the people, and the consequence to all of us of lost hope of large populations.  This is not about being kind and generous, although that certainly helps. This is about making things better for all of us - a world where everyone is given a chance to contribute and live freely.


So we have 500,000 people here illegally but there is no cost? I'm declaring Hamilton as the first sanctuary city for Canadians who don't want to pay tax. It won't cost anything and why should Canadian have to follow tax laws? It is embarrassing that so many of our lemming politicians just follow along.


I have posted these 'words' at least twice before.

As usual, your response, when cornered, is to project whatever you see fit  onto the person who makes the argument.


I will say that only the faithful will care that Trump is always right. The money the US gave back to Iran was an old debt from the 1970's that Obama finally cleared up for good. Now since Trump has now over 4000 lawsuits and he has had many people come forward with stories of being stiffed by Trump at least the US did something that Trump does not get, they paid the bill they owed to Iran.


I posted "funny", but then I had a thought. OMG, I think you may be serious! Get help, please.


"male starring at children with his pants undone" is entirely different than just "staring."

Wait, perhaps you're pointing out the typo...I think you're pointing out the typo...


".....hypocritical."  Some people need to look at a mirror when using this word.


Nearly 1 million California illegals have drivers licenses, and there is no process to check if they voted


A big part of the profits is coming out of the capital markets division.  Thats trading folks and a big part of this windfall came last quarter.  If you invested in the market wisely you would have profited just like the big banks.  Thanks Donald.
Now the question thats on everyones mind is.....was this just folly or will it be real.  RBC dropped after their record announcements  as even some folks realize that this party can only last so long.   But who knows they seem to do it quarter after quarter.  Its quite amazing.


Hardly but it might be the end of the republican party.  Lock them up!


Well now, which nazis or KKK or Alt-rgt (What the hell is that?) is Trump trying to please now -----  Let's hope that this NAFTA farce is over and the US is further behind as a world power and continues to be further isolated from reality.  Not only is Trump not reasonable, he is not intelligent, nor discretionary, just gutter street smart.  (Remember that he is the child of a bully and who now himself has become a bully.)  But where are the Republican Senators who will eventually in about 5 years time vote on a new NAFTA agreement after they have impeached this idiot!  Not to be seen or interested, frightened of losing their seats but signing on to a misfit president.  Shame on them!


Thanks Neko....that's exactly what I was looking for and really like (and had forgotten) the brood of vipers part! Very very timely...


Very disheartening to again hear how law enforcement employees skirt the rules.  Doesn't really help with trust, now does it.

Crazy idea, eh?

And  taking action to encourage Russia to observe international norms regarding human rights, democratic governance and respect for neighbouring nations' rights to self-determination is not "detrimental to Canada in the long run".

Quite the contrary, Canada would benefit from having its great northern neighbour become something other than an aggressive dictatorship.

Bill Gates pays more taxes than you, so he should be afforded the protection (U.S. military and police) his money can buy. You, on the other hand, should be required to defend yourself with a pitchfork, as comparatively, taxwise, it's all you merit.

I am generally the first to say that exceptions exist but how do you know she was really gay to begin with?  Or that she really desired men afterwards?  With gay conversion it is far more common for such converts to revert back to being gay.

Don't you hate autocorrect?

I found out how to fix errors after submission.  Copy the bad post, garbage can it, and then do a new post with the copied stuff and then you have two chances to fix the typo/error/autocorrect problem.

SOCIOPATH!


Some 60 years ago, I sold newspapers on the streets of Anchorage and people of Anchorage relied heavily on the ADN and Times for information about our state and nation. Nobody called it a “Left or Right” or “Red or Blue” newspaper. It was just the “Newspaper” and now we have all these goofy labels that are supposedly identifying the news media to somehow influence our opinion about what were reading. We even have a President who brands the media as “fake news” and we’re supposed to be driven by these statements one way or the other.

I was raised to have a mind of my own, to ask questions when needed. Have an opinion and use use what the good lord put between my shoulders, to think with, but not be branded by these labels.

My first job was selling papers for a person I greatly respected, Bob Atwood at the Anchorage Times and never once did I hear him use these labels.

I for one greatly appreciate the ADN for hanging in with our community and providing the news and our news!

You may be living in the past with fisticuffs, bats, chains, etc., nowadays you may get shot at, who knows but I understand taking my chances displaying my disgust. I'd display that face to face at this stage in my life. Someone do me wrong and I'll tell them of my disgust, nothin wrong in doing so and it doesn't mean I deserve a crack. I'd sue the hell out of em if so and still alive

Giving the voters a party that will save them from the rigors and depravity of carbon taxes may be a wiser policy then many are willing to concede.


For most people-- the 49% of Americans who get discounted group plans from their employer, plus those who get individual plans on the exchanges that are working, are happy with their plans (not even the Republicans tinkered with this in the end-- businesses and consumers were lobbying for policies and for the tax breaks for employers and employees with the group employer plans). Add to that the people who were happy with Medicaid and the Medicaid expansion and add the Republican and Democratic Governors and legislators who want to retain Medicaid. That means the exchanges (which impact only 17% of Americans) need fixing and the law overall needs fine tuning. There are good ideas for the fix: insurance companies have made statements through their leaders and through material distributed to shareholders on fixing the exchanges and so have doctors and the AMA (disappointed in no attention paid to fixing the exchanges has opposed all of the GOP drafts).


Good one Charles.  Lottery may solve some problems.  It needs a rule that anyone on any form of public assistance or a person who is homeless cannot win the lottery.  Period.  Even if they enter they cannot win or use a straw man to collect.  Why give people tax money to supposedly live on and let them bet it.  Can't you just see Joe Blow address Ala Moan Park the next millionaire if rules are not set in place to prevent it?  To placate the people who say lottery only hurts the poor and less fortunate among us, this should stop that.  Oh I forgot, the aclu will claim discrimination based on race...economic station and whatever else they can throw in.


How can it be left-wing when most of the countries spearheading it are right-wing?

Everywhere else in the world climate change is non-partisan but the US.  Did you know that?


Thanks, Neko.  I think the article is right on the mark. Ryan has devoted his public life to trying to advance the atheistic materialism of Ayn Rand. I think everything he does -- including opposing Trump when he thought Trump couldn't win and supporting Trump when he realized that Trump had won -- everything he does is to advance the regressive social and economic ideas of Rand. And so Ryan easily transitions from one of Trump's chief critics to one of his most energetic boot lickers, simply because he believes that Trump will sign whatever Ryan puts in front of him.  And he probably will, too, if Bannon says it's ok.


Not from the reserves, but no politician has the balls to do anything about that.


Pardon? They can take their "pardon" and shove it. What I want is EXONERATION -- and a written apology signed by the prime minister and the minister of "justice" -- and reparations, financial compensation for the harm that has been inflicted on me and the damage that has been done to me by my government and it's ignorant, mercenary armed thugs.

AND the three police thugs who beat me for a half an hour to make me sign a confession to possession of a half-pound of weed must be prosecuted for assault.


Pandora is a Catholic. She supports her Church's teachings. Your position is that a Catholic who follows and agrees with her or his Church's teaching is a homophobe.

That seems to support the conclusion that she is not a bigot but someone else is.


More of the same, more of the same, regardless of who is in power? Finger pointing, accusations, the system smells like an old dead fish! And these are the types who appoint the single judges at times who sit in a court room and tell us we win or lose? Wow and some of the pols and their loyal lackeys point the fingers at the Russians and Putin? Regardless of whether one is a Tory or a Grit the system has needed a cleaning out for sure since the governments of  Chretien and Mulroney! Odd, how Justin and Brian get along so well? Are they on the same team?


I was Cinematographer on this movie and have sent an email to Ms. Spitz requesting a correction today. Will update and let you know how it went.

This was my very first experience working on a film and am honored to have worked with such a great cast and crew! Long hot days in the high desert, parkour leaping across boulders, balancing on cliff edges, and braving tarantula-killer wasps and rattle snakes, and even (on the last day of shooting) torrential rains. But it was all worth it all to get the perfect shot!

I served two primary roles including PRODUCTION ASSISTANT and ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY (credited as "Cinematographer" on IMDB). I also contributed to still photography, location scouting, script/dialogue development, and even got to do some of the special effects (blood splatter).

All in all, it was an amazing experience under a talented, demanding-but-fair visionary new director named Isaac Medeiros.

Regarding your assertion about global cooling.  I would ask you to consider this comment from a scientist in the much respected Scientific American magazine whose whole issue was devoted to AGW.  “Global warming should be unmistakable within a decade or two.  Prompt emission cuts could slow the build up of heat trapping gases and limit this risky planet wide experiment.” Stephen H. Schneider. Sci Amer. Special Issue: Managing Planet Earth. Sept 1989    I invite you to dig up the issue.  You'll find it enlightening,


Lock all those keys in a safe. Hire armed security officers.


i can't believe this fool is our PM - what a complete imbecile he is - just get him out of office, his incompetence is limitless


Ah, the old hypocritical "you drive a car, right?" or "you use natural gas, right?" argument, when almost all used automobiles and nearly all new vehicles still use gasoline, and to function in rural America, one needs his/her own automobile. Hypocritical would be if I criticize Oil and Gas for illegal dumping, but then I turn around and dump my used motor oil down the sewer.

The problem is, Fort Collins residents are told by the city that they shouldn't even wash their automobiles in their driveways, because of the chemicals that can come off and flow into waterways.  If any citizen were to dump their oil down the sewer, the sensors would detect it and they would be ticketed.  Yet, Oil and Gas is once again laughing at the law, opting not to spend extra money to transport their waste to Adams County or Pueblo.  Oil and Gas, time and again, feels that the law only applies to others.  But then again, endocrine disrupters?  Nevermind those innocent little things.


Eskom currently sells less electicity than it did in 1994.

The only reason that we have not had load shedding is that owing to the ANC's abysmal mis-management of the economy, economic growth has been either moribund or non-existent.

Had we been growing at the rate of Malaysia, Singapore or even Ghana or Botswana, demand for electricity would have exceeded supply capacity and load-shedding would have been the order of the day.

Not performing disaterously is not reason for acclaim - it is like SAA Pilots demanding a performance bionus because they did not crash any planes this year!


In the "we" I mean western gov's.


Larsy,
Trump is neither a conservative nor a libertarian.
He's a con man whose only allegiance is to himself.


Congratulations, Ms. Carney.  Practice Alaska First and leave out the Party politics and we'll get along just fine.


Oh, we know.
The word is overused because racisms presence is so ubiquitous.


How is the founder of the religion, described as the perfect man not relevant to the discussion?

That most Muslims are peaceful is not because of their founder but in spite of it, however, why are we surprised that at least some Muslims imitate the founder of their religion? Why do we have to close our eyes and pretend Muhammed was a nice guy?


Why should the US allow Canada to run structural surplus and to steal American jobs?

The US Auto market shrank from 1999 to 2009 from 17M units ,to 10.5 and only recovered the peak in 2015 , further market share has shifted away from the D3 towards Germany and Korea.  So when you are tied to the anchor of the wrong product in the wrong market, you are going to lose out.

If the Auto pact were still in place we would be even worse off as Trump would be aiming straight at us.


What a dain without compensation!


I think it's the arrogance of the long-time politician who thinks he's the most qualified to do (insert job title here.) All the old timers in the Senate have it.


LOL...those are not facts. 1) The ACLU defends anyone or any group that has their civil liberties violated including Christian groups. 2) Because David Duke may have endorsed some Dem in the past it does NOT make him a Dem. He is not a card carrying member of the Democrat party. 3) Yes the KKK was in the past aligned with the Democratic party but that all changed when LBJ and other Dems tried to pass and successfully passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964. When that happened all the southern Democrats left the Democrat Party and joined the Republican Party where the racists have resided since. You don't seriously think that all those KKK members and Nazi's that were in Charlottesville this past weekend were Hillary supporters do you?

Mrs. Houda-Pepin (see Google for info) believes that "Saudi Arabia pressured the federal Canadian Government to allow banks to operate according to Islamic finance and implement the Canada of Islamic banks.
“...People need to understand that here (Québec and Canada), the laws must apply equally to ALL and there is no reason that Muslims are exempt from the whole of society...”


She thinks she is a superstar.  If she was, Stanford would have offered her a bundle long ago.


Perhaps the Senators should look back in history at the Northwest Forest Plan.  Then President Clinton held the big media summit of all the federal forest interests in Portland.  Timber interests and the no-cut environmentalists offered their support to the President's proposal to create a "scientific" plan that would increases protections and still allow some logging.  After the plan was finalized with the acres of protected forests more than tripled, proposed harvest levels reduced to about 25% of previous levels, what happened to those "agreements and compromises" from the summit?  The no-cut environmental groups continued to sue almost every timber harvest proposal from the BLM and FS.  Banking on income from Elliott timber harvests to pay back state bonds is fool hardy at best and dishonest at worst.


Yes gridlock will continue to be a problem but rail will give an option to those that live along its line.


He knows who, where, how and when they got their drugs, they had been buying drugs every payday together. SHE DIED. And he isn't talking. He has no remorse and the fact she died NEXT to him doesn't matter enough for him to help take these dealers out of the village. If I was the girl's Mom, I would have strung this kid up by his balls and made him talk. Shane is too worried about saving his own ass, what a POS!!


People vote against across the board increases that give the largest increases based on time in service with no performance component. Why can't a brilliant, motivated, energetic, highly-educated teacher that proves that s/he can facilitate high levels of student achievement be paid the same as the teachers with 25 years of service? In the rest of the working world, a new worker right out of college is often paid higher that the veteran employee if that new worker can prove results. The best and brightest will never enter teaching if they know the system is actively working to limit their potential.


I know first hand what this man has done .He made it impossible for me to get clean and try and become a asset to the community I had cared about so much.He did not care one bit that i was productive for 11 years as asst produce manger. at sarrs market place.That when it closed my life went upside down.HE only cared about my sickness. I have bin in a long term treatment center out of town to try and get some kind of life back but my heart will always belong to Port Angles.Its not all his fault but I feel he has don more harm than good.And Karma always comes around.


Jeff, if you are smart enough to understand coal is dirty, you also understand about external costs not paid by the coal industry for the combustion of its dirty product- such as people dying from cancer due to their exposure from the pollution.  Or people made sick by their exposure to mercury from fish.  Building the transmission lines is not such an expensive propositon by comparison- and much of the transmission lines were built from Healy to Fairbanks anyway.

The fact is the Interior has five dirty coal plants in operation.  Even worse the University is building another dirty coal plant.  One of the regents works for Usibelli.

Killing this project throws the Interior under the bus.  Too bad no one cares enough about the Interior to fight for it.  The air pollution up in Fairbanks is now the worst in the United States.  Why?  No one cares that it is killing people, (strokes, heart attacks and cancer) and making people sick.


One more note, I was told back in March by a woman who works as a counselor there, that K-Bay, Marine Corps Base Hawaiʻi, has the highest incidence of strangulation of any US Military base anywhere (out of 1,000 bases, it seems) Itʻs a chilling thought to me to know that the Marine Corps presence in our islands has such horrifying behavior festering among its personnel. Where this sick culture emanates from is less concern to me than the obvious need for it to be expelled from our islands.


LOL  'peer reviewed'. That actually means nothing. Ever been to Southern Ca.? Santa Ana? San Bernadino? Riverside? East LA?

The same can be said of Republicans. Seems you are one Republican that likes to keep the bs going instead of taking responsibility for your own actions and reactions.


Uh huh, and would you be so kind as to provide some proof or evidence of your claims?  You can't see the future and neither can anyone else, but you can project what will be in the short term by looking at what is occurring in the State of Hawaii today!  What this rail project will do is leave our children and their kids, a huge debt to be paid by them for the "rail system" that does not solved any of today's traffic problems.  Your claim of "selfish and unwillingness" to contribute to the future is missing the mark and showing your bias and ignorance of the "rail project" and the final costs for completiion and maintenance!


I agree, Tools made in USA, gone. Refrigerators that only last 5 years, present. Popcorn/snack counter within the store, and shopping carts to tote kids and purchased clothes around, while happily enjoying food, gone. What do you see and enjoy on outings for clothing, etc? A 2 mission in one trip, and what do we see at Walmart or Costco? Food nearby, lunch on the fly, those places are full of people.


You forgot promising to end the war in Iraq you can keep your current plan and you can keep your doctor. You have to remember that to liberals it's only lying when conservatives tell them.


"Us Trads are not unreasonable."
Unfortunately, lots of them are.

You plead for openness and welcoming the Tridentine rite.

Are you sure that all "traditionalists" are open and welcoming of the post-Vatican II rites?

The problem comes in their claiming it is the ONLY way, and that all else is heresy, etc., etc.


They had over 300 workers already.

Quick Reaction Contractors are often 'no bid.'
A small team will move quickly.

Or PR restoration can be put out to competitive bidding.

They may have bids in a month or two with full cost backup.
Then they can spend a few more weeks reviewing them.
And then a few more weeks negotiating terms.

While PR sits in the dark.

Cost, schedule, function.
Pick any two.

You cannot get all three.

Schedule and function would appear to be the important factors here.

I left out a few weeks for the government to even prepare the 'Request for Quotation' to publish requesting proposal or bids.
Just what work is to be performed?
How many miles of lines?
Of what capacity?


How soon the failed Harpercons forget that Harper was the worst PM we ever had. Record deficits. Record debt. The worst fiscal record in 80 years. All Harper accomplished was adding $160 billion to the national debt plus a lot of corruption and electoral fraud.
Oliver actually made a joke about having children to pay for Harper's debt.

The headline says "Ottawa to roll out new rules to cut Canadian carbon emissions".

I really think it should read "Ottawa to roll out new rules to kill Canadian economy".


I have to only generally agree. Facts "should" matter. They unfortunately matter far, too, little today, generally supplanted by opinions more closely tethered to myths. Americans, and most of the world, has more access to facts than any other time in the history of the world -- and that, ironically, has mainly just given us more to ignore than understand. But, then, understanding requires thinking, and that, too, seems on the decline...at least about things other than sports, entertainment and whatever "celebrity" is.

Beyond the moral and traditional reasons you cite, this action just creates a bigger market from which to recruit terrorists. It's a 90 day strategy for fostering a larger problem long-term. I suspect it's not making Christians in those countries any safer either. This is just to go foolishly and boldly into the future.


Yet another silly article by the Globe's worst sports writer! Subjectivity is one thing, but making assinine comments such as claiming Federer is 80% as good as he was in 2006 is sheer nonesense.


And you are entitled to your delusions as it seems impossible for people like you to actually address the facts I stated, and go straight into hateful charges you never, ever, back with actual facts.


This is a terrible human tragedy . Crimes of passion however, don't deserve 75 years .


The Democrat Party should vote yes! The Senate Bill does almost nothing to Obamacare, and after that Republicans would own it. Thank goodness they are so lock-step opposed to anything.


So what?  The priest is still turning his back on the congregation. Tell me, if you want to include people in what you are doing, do you deliberately turn your back on them? You Tridentine Mass aficionados seem to think that someone with his back to you is inviting you to participate.

1st. It is Meyer's turn to inform us of his perception of B.S. Now it's Mackinnon turn. Who's next for the Republicans to run out and tell us not to blame for past failures and to trust the same -------. Just a shout out to you legislators. WE NO LONGER TRUST ANYTHING YOU SAY! Bye Bye!


`Friendly fire`deaths, while horrible, are quite different than having a firefight with enemies who are deliberately trying to kill you. And had this case been tried in Canada at the outset, likely Khadr`s `child soldier`status so glowingly trotted out in nearly all arguments would have been thrown out. Still, if our governement is smart they`ll find some `humanitarian`money for Ms. Speer. Because this will not go away, regardless of legal arguments.

BS.  A 10 ft boa is nowhere near big enough to eat a dog.  A rat, yes.  But the fridge part might be true.


Yep. I've been buying my health plan that way for nearly 20 years, shopping for and comparing coverage just like I do auto insurance or homeowner insurance, or nearly everything else in life.

Which is the way everyone should be buying coverage, IMO.  We should divorce employers from the health care coverage paradigm completely.


I completely agree.


And dropping  electoral reform like a hot potato because he suddenly realized the current system favours him.


One just has to look to the similar practices of the Ontario Liberals and how i's finally hurting them to realize the  LPC shouldn't do it... Federal Politics is different and more checks and balances are in play.


Bear cam is great!  Lots of action.  Is it really feeding live right now?  Seems like it's showing selected clips.  Are pinks running there already?


Trouble is, Mike, this bunch of Republicans have themselves safely gerrymandered in office.  The odds of them being fired are slim and none.  And they know it.  Couple this with the fact that they serve at the direction only of the oil lobby.  This is who's purchased their allegiance, regardless of whatever else they may profess. They're careful to dance, only with the ones that brung 'em. Oil.

Their owners don't want them to touch oil taxes.  So they won't.  Meanwhile, the problem can't be solved without it.  Instead, they'll squawk about "reducing spending", even though they themselves are holding the checkbook.  They'll continue to wait around for some grand solution, which isn't coming.

It's they who've brought us all here.

Governor Walker needs to keep them in special session all summer and into the fall, if that's what it takes.


No, the same law, but the airlines can choose according to their own criteria, as there is no law against that.


"Truth and facts are not hate speech."

Yet as you pointed out, the truth doesn't belong to you. So what is it, exactly, that you're offering?

It's trivially correct that truth and facts alone can't be hate speech. It's also true that the best propaganda always contains facts. What propaganda doesn't do is give ALL the facts, presented in a balanced way. Hate speech does the same thing. It hammers on the faults of a group- which are typically the same ones you can say of any group- over and over. After a relentless barrage of selectively chosen negatives comes the kicker: "We have to push back. If we don't, we're done for."

I could write you a litany of facts about Western Christians that would whiten your hair. And if that's all you ever heard, you would come to fear Western Christians. From that point, encouraging you to act against them would be easy.


in reference to the confederacy/confederate army, latinos and native americans/indians fought for the confederacy/south as well. the reason the indians fought for the confederacy is because the north/federlists violated the treaties they signed with them. also, i can't say i blame them (in that case). in reference to slavery, indians also have owned black slaves too (the tribes in the south that is).


" while concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere hit a January record."
What does that got to do with sea ice extent?


Except, of course, that Trudeau didn't say anything of the sort.

They say lying becomes an easy habit. Many trumpkins seem out to prove this.


I've listened to him and Clinton. We can't afford Clinton. She isn't without her faults either.


How about "no". If the private sector is radically efficient we can sell off some money-losing pieces to them, ask them to perform the same level of service and...see what they do.


This article is the G&M's equivalent of reality TV but the CPC brass must be absolutely weeping.  They want the party to be taken seriously after the Reformacon years, and then this.  Of course, those of us not of the Harperite persuasion think it's a hoot.


It's a long time since I worked for DINA (as it was in the day)--around the time the Department screwed up an amendment to the Act that mis-handled women's status rights.

But I believe the Act enshrines fiduciary responsibility for status Indians with the government, and I'd be curious to know how the feds plan to handle that.


Dear Metrolinx,

It's been really nice having you and your contractors in my neighbourhood gumming up traffic on Eglinton West between the Allen and Bathurst.  By my count, you've been working away for the past three years.  I sometimes wonder whether "working" is the right word, however, since there is apparently no end in sight.    By comparison, One World Trade Center (one of the largest office towers in the world) took five years to build.

You must feel a bit hypocritical complaining about delays at Bombardier.

Luv & cuddles,
IBJ


Why don't they just say it like it really is. They are moving toward a defined contribution plan.  The public sector has been on these for years and no one realized/cared or did anything when the pensions of thousands/millions of people were stolen from them in reorganizing that may have technically been legal but was absolutely and  morally wrong .  Welcome to the real world...


The real question for me is, just because something makes you safer does that mean you're happier?


Why do you think?


What's "D2"?


Four kevlar offroad tyres for my F350 are closer to 2 grand.


Because he was hungry.


For those reserving the exact same spot, as in a public space fronting one's home, I believe a case can be made of this as it will be easy to prove. As far as the ones who reserve spaces in varying locations from day to day, I doubt HPD has the manpower to investigate each and every single incident of this nor do I think our courts should be overburdened with parking violations at the taxpayers expense if it comes down to fines, as it will be difficult to prove unless a policeman witnesses such a person reserving the space with cones, then removing the cones and parking in the space and finally testifying in court about it. So I'm wondering, if it's illegal to use cones etc. to cone of spaces, what if such items are simply treated as litter, and thus be discarded by city crews? That would be a pretty good deterrent as a 28" traffic cone retails for around $20.00, so a scofflaw using two or more of these cones to privatize a public space ain't cheap if they get discarded often.


Unfortunately, Bernie was too far ahead of his time in America. I really do believe he had some great ideas to turn us the correct direction. Yes, some of the ideas could have been better developed. I hope the democrats can put up a young, energetic progressive candidate.


"Nowhere in the Constitution did the Framers ever DREAM".  Likely, there is a difference between the Constitution and the dreams of its framers.

Gfaw, Gfaw.  Wow, Andrewmoron, you learn that one on the kindergarten playground?I'm more than happy to add you to the list of MAGAphants.  Let me guess, you probably look just like the the guy driving the car who also looks just like all the overweight, stupid, racists white males standing behind the baby-in-chief in West Virginia.  Please next time you post,  attach a link to your latest photo, so we can confirm.  No need, we all know who you racists idiots are.  Oh, BTW, I'm having so much fun commenting on all the MAGAphant posts.  Every day that you guys defend the baby-in-chief by posting comments makes the world see just what morons voted for Trump.


I don't blame him for working for the EPA -- somebody has to play watchdog.  He had better watch his ethics a little closer though.  6 words can be looked at as "advising".  His lawyer obviously could contact him and he obviously didn't want to respond.  Now that he's needing money, he wants to get a job.  The EPA will probably hire him because he's proven himself.
Bristol Bay a National Park?? Would that eliminate fishing entirely?  After all, you can't hunt in Yosemite without special permission!  From what little I know about Park laws, that permission has only been given a few times.  What would that do to the fishing industry?  I believe there is a national act that puts mining as the primary use of national land and has not been modified to change that.  So how does a designated mining area become a fishing protectorate?
I still say, buy the corporation(s) and eliminate the mine!


No, he's right. The Senate isn't saying "cut unnecessary support positions," it's saying "cut 5%." If there are in fact 5% of a Statewide Education budget's worth of valueless support positions, neither you nor the Senate has provided what they are.

I would wager that there are not in fact 5% of a budget's worth in valueless support positions, but I await your detailed information on them. Keep in mind that the Senate needs to defend this cut not merely for Anchorage, but Statewide.


Did you just sleep at the Trump Tower and have the Kool Aid in bed? You require therapy if you believe a word that he utters. DO some research on him via the FOI site and you may change your silly mind.


look at this picture...are we not all blessed?  good, good work McKenzie river trust... thank you.

"By using a metric that widens the trade deficit, it could give him political leverage to make sweeping changes, the paper reported."

This id$ot of mammoth proportions/Trump is staring to look and sound more and more like the USSR communists of the 1950's/60's/70's. Obliterate the press/media, fire anyone and everyone that does not agree with you, lie as much a s possible and as often as possible.

Nice going Donald..............

Cuts to this program to fund education? What a waste. This state spends almost half it's budget on education and we are aren't getting but pampered teachers unions and overpaid administrators by the thousands. Also, we are providing education to illegal immigrants who are burdening the system which makes no sense. Yep,  let's go into debt giving resources to a group of illegals who should've even be allowed to be in the country in the first place. You liberals are just absolutely brain dead, spending billions of other PEOPLES tax money bc you want to be politically correct and promote you're agenda.


I hope she's reading all of this, maybe she'll catch on


Hey kids get off my lawn!

Seriously Jon ... You're way out of touch.


What you going to do ? no snow, no money to support it and seems to be this people can afford it themselves.

RIP. Thank you for your commitment and dedication to Alaska and living life. A life well lived.


The players did not protest the flash despite what Trumplethinskin told you. Sadly you've been trolled by your own president, sad.


HECO can ask all they want, but sadly, it ain't gonna happen.

Of course if there were a law setting the selling price for metallic balloons or streamers to 100 times what they cost now, then that might amount to something.


I am by choice cableless... too expensive when it is one or maybe two choices (a monopoly I believe that is called.) But thanks! I will look now-or watch if I locate it.

As for this "You have your head buried in the sand." Seriously? Snide you are!


Which would be plenty of money for h rods of RTD didn't receive twice as much tax-payer funding as CDOT.


She was referring to his inaugural speech, not his campaign slogan. There is a difference.


So you are claiming to have studied every second of Trump's life and have a detailed analysis of how he has treated the poor ? Care to  share ?


The D's tactic to not negotiate on anything unless the R's agreed to everything was seriously flawed. It defies the entire logic of how a legislative body needs to deliberate. That and an almost religious (Socialism) crusade for an income tax.
In their Sisyphean quest for their Holy Grail of wealth re-distribution, they ironically abandoned funding for traditional social programs.

The way the 5th is interpreted today, gives an extraordinary killing power to a single individual.  That is does not conform to the principles of democracy to have equal representation under the the law, nor is does it meet common sense standards for safety of the public.  I don't fault the founders, they simply couldn't know the lethality of weapons 200 years in advance.

For those who feel their hand weapons provide safety against a foreign nation or even a domestic political tyrant, guess again.   Match your hand weapons with targeting missiles or nuclear weapons and you are playing a fools game.  We have both covered with a standing military and internal civil law.

The 5th as it stands today hands over extrordinary killing power to individual citizens to do with as they please.  There's nothing democratic about a lethal weapon in settling any conflict.     It's a life threatening risk to the owner, their families and their neighbors and should be regulated.


And here I thought that I was peerless. Oh well.

You really need to read the comments before responding, also the "uncivil" notices. In numerous instances on this thread your retorts have been removed, not mine or anyones else's.  Remind us again about the definition of projection.


Peanut butter is only mentioned in passing in this article.  I would be interested in knowing if other butters- cashew or almond for example- would have the same benefits as raw nuts.  Also it would be helpful to know the quantity of the butters to use for maximum benefit.  I liked the fact that there was an estimation of just how many of the various types of nuts one should eat.


The problem I have with principals is they ARE NOT administrators.  When teachers apply for an administrative position, on their resume under "experience as a manager", it is ZERO years.  Teachers undergo training but that is not sufficient.  Every so often you read about a lawsuit because of the failure of the principal for a myriad of reasons.  So part of the problem is 100% of our principals are former teachers and teachers are not administrators.  Have a nice day.  Boy, is it hot and humid.


You think there are a lot of kids hanging around Assad's air force bases?

This beats the pants off of the usual Russians bombing hospitals.


Racism against people of color is still alive and well in Canada and there are still many people in this country think that such sinister act is "normal".  So shameful.

What legal analysis would this be, argyle5663?

The N.S. decision is as 'on point' as SCC decisions ever get.  And if you think it refers only to criminal proceedings, you'd be mistaken - as would anyone else with that view.  It's as odd a view as thinking the Keegstra decision is perfectly analogous to the Belgian decision.


Probably some company that thinks the rules don't apply to them.

Following the rules as having a spotter would have saved this guys life.


As long as short-sighted people focus ONLY on the final price of a given item, and refuse to consider quality (among many other factors), those same people will continue to act and spend in ways that are counterproductive in the long term to themselves and to us as a society collectively, and the drain on and of our economy will continue.


Perhaps you can tell us if Christ ever implored his followers to kill anyone.


All these GOOTARDS commenting about high premiums under ACA then comment on other threads that they are seniors (medicare) or veterans (VA). Sooooo, they don't pay squat. Hypocrites.


Thanks David. I had not seen Trisha before and mistook her for a local pro-fluoride commenter on this post. Then she vears off, feins victimhood and tries to start up an alternate divisive commentary.

I think Mr. S burned up all his names' credibility early in these recent posts, he has been oddly absent. He had not been well-received and was starting show what a hot-head he is and get his comments removed. It would not shock me to learn that he started posting under apparently female names here.

Take Linda, the standard pro-fluoride beloved archetype of the nurse. Not a haughty doctor with his wealth, expensive car, etc. but a working-class person...just like you! And when we hear nurse we're conditioned to associate it with compassion and dedication to our care.

Her and Trisha both have a subtle anger just under the surface though. Snotty, passive-aggressive and defensive when things start to not go their way, just like Mr. S.


LOL. You're a one trick pony buddy. Laughable as always. Enjoy Bergevin's Habs!!!


You mean when they are forming a well regulated militia?


Doesn't make any sense to keep enacting laws that can't/won't be enforced.


There's a lot of interesting and good opinions below, but neither do I see much compassion. Do you think all these homeless people choose to live like that?


The last number of weeks have had no shortage of articles speculating on the meeting this Monday between Trudeau and Trump. The articles by and large tended to be cautiously optimistic, but certainly didn't set the bar that high for expected outcomes. If you don't expect much , you won't be disappointed, and perhaps here is where Trudeau may do well. The emphasis would be on "may" as it's hard to call. However it's highly unlikely that Americans want to pick a fight with their closest neighbour, trading partner and friend. Canadians and Americans, know each other quite well. We vacation in each others countries, we have each have friends on both sides of the border, we share a common language, pop culture, and our business interests cross borders as well. The Trump administration may be new to the game, but there are those within the administration who understand the value of a political win. My prediction is both will come put looking good, without having achieved a great deal.


Veterans wear their old uniforms long after their retirement from service for parades, special events. Are they frauds?


Harper paid down 25B against the debt in his first two years in office.
Harper had to re-equip the army and air force for a war that Chretien sent us to. Tanks, APC's, , Uniforms, Medium and Heavy lift aircraft.
Harper had to deal with the worst worldwide recession in our history
Harper did this in minority parliaments where he had voting support from both the NDP and the Liberals or he would have been defeated.
Harper eliminated the deficit in his final four years when he had a majority government. You can't eliminate this type of debt in a year.

So you were saying?


Yup!

The bad ones as sanctioned by year are found here.  Click on the far right rectangle to see the actual order as to what they were found doing that justified a sanction.

Local School Districts had five (5) last year and only one so far this year.  The recent convictions may happen this year or later, of course.

There is a way to search by teacher in case you wonder if one of yours ever got caught or at least sanctioned.

Absolutely nothing. Trumpettes will never find any fault with him.


How many times die the DP call Eric Holder wrong, when he continually defending Everything Obama did or said?  ZERO.  I'll bet the DP thinks that all the investigation into the imaginary 'Russia Trump' connection is valid and needs to happen, and also that Mueller is a good other, head investigator into Trumps business, correct?

Sessions, a good man, had to protect his president, had to defend his president, he did not. and Now we have this nightmare of 'investigations' going on, and it's nonsense.


Every PM has to work with the cards that are dealt them. Harper wasn’t responsible for the 2014 oil price fall any more than Trudeau was responsible for the Fort McMurray wildfires. That said, your statement about growth under Trudeau recently being much higher than anything achieved under Harper is absurd. The annual real GDP growth rate in 2017Q1 (i.e. the four-quarter growth rate) was 2.3%, the best Trudeau has ever achieved to date; you only have to go back to 2014Q3 to find 2.6% growth; in 2013Q4 and a number of earlier quarters under Harper the growth rate was 3.6%.


Wow a Liberal who hates Trump? oh big surprise.

She likes to post on twitter from her "French Chateau" she even brags about it.


Did you try an office that is not the listed Juneau number? Anchorage or similar?  I left a message on the first try.


The ultimate answer is to defund Prog (1984) Ed; replacing the anti-human and anti-republic pedagogy with Western (1776) Enlightenment.  Nothing gets fixed, nothing stay fixed until Prog (1984) Ed is defunded.  It is suicide to fund Prog Ed, and the states did not sign a suicide pact when approving the Constitution.  Prog Ed is suicide, therefore defund it, ASAP.


Oh I get it alright, I've seen some of these people hanging out at the shelter for years.  Not all are mental, disable, or have fallen on hard times.  They have chose to live on the streets for whatever reason. How many years do you think they should be supported?


A conflict for me with this article is I'm not against doing the right things in the effort to limit trash and things that don't degrade.
What I'm against is meaningless "scientific" studies and discoveries for the obvious. Better to use the monies to do good works than to "study" and reassert over and over again what is well known.
For instance, in 3-1/2 months the "scientific" crew on the island could have collected and disposed of ALL "38 million" pieces of trash.
Why didn't they? Is it because it won't sell like yet another useless article "saving" our planet?  Nor promote a cause for marches?
At least it didn't make thousands of little pink hats and plasticized protest signs that will be discarded in heaps at every landfill. Nor does it wear down a hundred thousand shoes which need replacement sooner than they would otherwise.


terminating tens of thousands of pregnancies every year, even if for purported family planning reasons, tends to reduce the fecundity of our population. That, however, just doesn't fit with modern narrative now, does it?  We'd better get on with more immigration, and soon.  perhaps it's time for tax policies that encourage family growth, as they have done in Quebcec, for nationalist reasons, mind you


Just like the IRAQ War, "Shock and Awe" - What a Waste. This will not impress "Un"


No, Doug Sanders, you are wrong.  Mass murder, including mass shootings, may be terror in its most basic sense, as in fear, but it is not always terrorism (note the headline cleverly did not say "terrorism").  Terrorism is by definition either targeted or indiscriminate violence in pursuit of a political goal or ideology.  A goal may yet to emerge in Vegas shootings, but so far we do not know.  This has nothing to do with skin colour.  Anders Breivik and Timothy McVeigh were terrorists; as far as we know, Stepehn Paddock was not.


Motley:  Here's the top-rated definition from Google:  It's a generally accepted definition....except when right'wingers use it to describe liberals..
fas·cism
ˈfaSHˌizəm/
noun
noun: fascism; noun: Fascism; plural noun: Fascisms

    an authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization.
    synonyms authoritarianism, totalitarianism, dictatorship, despotism, autocracy; More
    Nazism, rightism;  nationalism, xenophobia, racism, anti-Semitism;   jingoism, isolationism; neofascism, neo-Nazism
    "a film depicting the rise of fascism in the 1930s"
      (in general use) extreme right-wing, authoritarian, or intolerant views or practice

 We also know from history that dictators and despots work very, very hard to control the media since it provides an accountability they find intrusive.  Trump seeks to discredit and delegitimate the media to invalidate the efforts to subject him to public accountability.  .walks and talks a bit like a duck? eh Gary


I only wish it was scheduled so that group watching parties could be planned.

These overpaid and underworked unions are going to hold Hawaii hostage so the gang can bully their way to even bigger, already greedy skim of money on everything shipped to Hawaii.


At least the SCOTUS ruling that we are mandated to regulate Carbon Dioxide is still in effect. Trump can't get around that.

Sometimes it's about protecting a woman's health--where if she becomes pregnant her life could be in danger--while preserving the COUPLE'S relationship.


It's not that they aren't supposed to know, it's just that their insider trading moves have to be arranged in a way that the ethics commissioner approves of. That's all.


JEEEUZ Hugh M for starters the "patriots" who instigated the coup of the democratically lected Ukrainian President was the US CIA... no one even argues that point anymore ...we did it for our corporate masters ...the ones who own Barrachio and Hillary. The people of the Crimea voted to be part of Russia...80+% of the people voted in the referendum and 97% + voted to become part of russia.

In November the American people rejected the Democrat party's corporate owned and chosen candidates for POTUS and VP... Killing your own child isn't or shouldn't be a reproductive right...it's the sign of irresponsible reproductive behavior and our national shame. The ACA is dying all on it's own in case you have been reading and listening to the fake news and didn't know it yet


People are always going to be selfish in their perspective, but expanding the monument is the right thing for the good of all.


Absolutely spot on.  The instant a lib/dem/soc/com/left/prog becomes a president, your line of defense will shift to the boundary of a state that supports the 2nd Amendment.  Such a president will have no more respect for the Constitution than an NFL kneeler.  Such an administration will simply concoct a law (a la, Obamacare), confiscate willy nilly and let the Supreme Court sort out the details in about ten years.  Sorry to say that Obama's fundamental transformation is working in blue and swing states.


Not precisely the same.

But the co-occurrences are far too great for a scientific-minded person to ignore.

It's ignored by many today for political reasons, clouding their view of reality.


Despite the fact that President Obama did his level best to pry us away from George W. Bush's ill-begotten follies in Iraq and Afghanistan, which is what the American people elected him to do, I've read that the U.S. military and their families voted for Trump by a three-to-one margin. Now that they've gotten exactly what they wanted in terms of leadership they're about to find out what that means in terms of deployment overseas to hot zones on the other side of the world. I have to wonder if they will still be feeling the love for their preferred Commander-in-Chief four years from now. Something tells me things will change in that department. People are very fickle and have exceedingly short memories, it seems.


Timmy called the Senate's proposed bill "immoral" because it doesn't go far enough in dismantling the Affordable Care Act. What do you call it when the wealthy would prefer that people go without care so that they can ensure their obscene sums of wealth can be protected from taxes? I now have a much better understanding of what motivated the French to invent the guillotine.


I'm not so sure that part is important, because that answer can change. There are timeless truths that the church is charged to proclaim. These truths need to be taught clearly and definitively, to be understandable.


They are different. Mr. Feminist viciously elbowed a woman MP in the house of commons and didn't apologize to her immediately afterward.

Then his feminist followers flooded the MP with thousands of rape threats, threats of bodily harm and vicious, ugly, degrading and demeaning sexist comments.

Why? Because its 2016.


Because he is a human, exactly like you.


I'd like to see NCR do more articles on Church art with explanations of the symbolism like this. I do believe that much of it is like an alternative religion, perhaps approved by a local priest or bishop or king or abbess, but not by the 'sacred magisterium' as they call themselves. So more a true expression of the beliefs of the local people.


True, but ONLY in regards to the saddling of people, regardless of race, with criminal records.


This article is a good example of how a columnist or pollsters can bend the numbers to represent their personal agenda.
The headline reading two-thirds approve (66%) is far from what the poll actually illustrates.  The poll actually suggest that 52% are opposed to some degree the current Liberal plan.
To suggest that the 17% that somewhat support the plan as outright support is wrong. It's just as valid to say that 17% somewhat oppose the plan.


Top of the rollercoaster is a good metaphor for the feeling in the pit your stomach. But the "crazed 12 year old in control" doesn't fit with the metaphor. Gravity is in control of a rollercoaster. Everything that happens is completely predictable and inevitable.


I'm sure everyone will agree with this entirely factual statement:

Former Prime Minister Harper's Conservative's lost the last election.


The general consensus here is that this punk's sentence was too light. We should all send copies of the articles related to his crime to NYU. Maybe they will think twice about letting him back in the fall.


It is also irresponsible for an editorial board to cite low numbers. Irrelevant as this would be precedent.


"Routes over the ocean, Kalber said, were “not financially feasible for those guys … It takes too long to get there and it uses too much gas.”   Are you kidding me?  These expenses are going to be passed on to the tourist using this service.  Make the trip part of the experience.  I sense here that the companies are really trying to shorten the trips to get more trips in per day.  I hope they make a profit.  BUT... if they make a profit at the expense of the well-being of the folk on the ground, then they either need to share that profit with them, or go elsewhere.


I bet Pat didn't even go to the Trump rally. His canned response was probably written and ready to go even before Trump set foot in Eugene.


Codey Tallman was released for only $1000 bail (=$100 to bail bondsman) by Judge Zwinke in February, in spite of a crime spree spanning the 6 years of his adult life which includes 9 separate felony charges. Vigilantism, as ugly as it is, is a predictable result of MORAL IMPOTENCE by those we have elected to protect our life, liberty and property. Do we as a community have a duty to absorb obvious future violent crimes so that repeat offenders can have a 14th chance?


Protest weak fire codes?  Sure.  Protest inadequate enforcement of codes?  Good idea.
Protest income inequality?  Y'mean there's an inherent right to income equality?  Cuba's done that, and they are desperate to climb out of that hole they dug for themselves.
Sounds like the Marxists are over-reaching here.


Maybe junior needs to put gender and indigenous politics aside for a little while and deal with this elephant in the room.
I don't think he has the parts to deal with this so he hides in his little cocoon of gender politics and indigenous "issues" . His speech at the UN just backs this up. He is over his head.


Every economic indicator has improved under Obama..  The economic disaster he inherited has completely turned around, hemorrhaging 000 jobs a month, auto industry bust etc....  Given whats awaits, 4 more years would be a good thing.


whereas the Liberals use a positive criminal records check to select their candidates :)


Construction and construction-related jobs have always been transient.  You have to go where the work is.   North Dakota oil patch is booming...........
Oh, and in the long run of life, it's not how much you make - it's how much you don't spend.


Isn't it odd that every picture printed on these pages of our President is a bad one?
Not really. Never would have done that to Hillary. Just hate that the Dems lost the election.


Imagine my disappointment for failing your test.  Myself, and everyone else, should certainly strive to pass your tests and be deemed worthy.

Do you wish to explain how you determined fact, avoided personal attacks and engaged in a civil, rational, to the point conversation when you repeatedly referred to me as "evil", "deranged"...when you compared me to the Orlando mass murderer, when you said to me "you are rape."
There are inferences to be made about those that engage in this type of behavior and then turn everything around to where they insist it is others who are uncivil, not rational etc.

The rich who really rule us don't care if we are armed or not...they've got the domestic police and the US military. And, you are unfortunately correct, Mr. Minshall...by the time the armed militias actually open fire it will be on the wrong people...that's what all this orchestrated racism, xenophobia and class divisiveness is all about.

What I still do not understand is why no one appears to have questioned the judge's decision at the time it happened. Were there no reporters at the preliminary hearing to question why the woman was in shackles? Were there no other officers of the court in the room?

How could this have happened without someone asking why and alerting the public and/or the ministry of justice?


As to ..."God entrusted creation and history to the covenant between man and woman,"...
I do hope P. Francis is not trying to use the Genesis myth as though it were history. True enough – this is the myth story that expresses our common human experience. Couples reproduce. And humans are responsible for the human effect on the Planet. That is our responsibility before God.

But let's not get it backward. The human experience and thought is the source of the myth, not the other way  around.

Jane the patsy is the guy that gets framed or takes the fall.  The patsy is the set up man or in a poker game often referred to as the mark.  The pasty is usually a dupe that can be fooled easily.

Now, you got to learn the good guys from the bad guys,  That will come with age.


so... your great concern over pot is to eliminate "enhancers" for what noble purpose, to kill an entire benign industry merely to force smokers into fashioning corn cob pipes again? such silliness over pot will never stymie the many millions who simply wish to relax and enhance the moment with a toke, that it's also a medicinal wonder drug plus hemp's unlimited industrial uses being unequaled effortlessly destroys all arguments against it's wildly beneficial uses.


Not if he is using a HEAT PUMP


You need to prove your implicit premise, which is that "kids" couldn't get pot essentially at will -prior- to legal sales. Which is an asinine claim on its face for anyone who grew up here to make. Never been a user but even straitlaced nerdy me in Jr. High could have, should I have chosen to, gotten weed from any number of "friends of a friends." If anything it'd be harder now because my network of friends and associates is smaller.

The problem with claims that legalization and commercial sales will make things "worse" is that legal sales, as this article clearly states, have had zero effect on usage. Logically and practically, everyone who wanted to try weed already has. Thus, anyone who would, say, drive stoned already does. Any kids who want to will get it the same way we did (or could have), the stores are irrelevant to all that.

What the legal market offers is the ability to pay a bit more for consistency of price, product, and direct access not involving sketchy people.


Too many white men live in fear. They need their guns to feel safe. Other wise they are just equal to the rest of us. The nation was built on murder as much as democracy. The 2nd Amendment was design to support white supremacy. Like the Electoral College, they are both doing what they were designed to do. The original Constitution was never intended to benefit the rest of us.


Yes, strong words in defense of Bishop Paprocki. Hopefully those giving public scandal to the faithful by living openly in a same-sex marriage will take note and repent.

Not so, there is plenty of middle ground.  You forget the following sentence:

I used to count the number of both bagged and unbagged dog poo piles I would see on both those trails, they are so numerous it's unbelievable. The people who bag their poo and then drop it by the side of the trail (or sometimes right in the middle of the trail) are especially pitiful. Then there are the owners who stand with a bag in hand but pretend they can't find their poo, that's nice too.


The oil corporations are doing very well, because the Chief Executive Officer of BP, Bob Dudley, gave himself a pay package worth $20 million, and the Chief Executive Officer of Tesoro received $23 million in salary in 2015.

This is pretty funny to me, as 30 years a commercial fisherman, I'd say fully 90% of my fisherman friends voted for Trumples, and just days ago if one went into the Kachemak Gear Shed and mentioned Obama you'd be pummeled. As a lib-er-ool, I find this this delicious. More and more buyers remorse from the unthinking. Right now our congressional contingent is is wondering whether to genuflect or think. For me, I already know the answer.


Bettman should resign for the good of hockey, if NHL players are denied their right to play in the Olympics.


It's interesting watching and listening to the protests going on in response to Donald Trumps' assumption of the presidency. These people are supposed to be protesting against Turmps intolerance, bullying, treatment of woman, promotion of fear of Muslims etc. What I'm seeing and hearing from these protesters and the organizers is no less hate filled, intolerant (see the exclusion of a feminist, pro life group of woman from the march), bullying (see the pressure put on celebrities by other celebrities to get into the group think against Trump), and outright ridiculous (see Madonna thought about 'blowing up the White House') than that which they are accusing Trump of.  I have one word for these folks - hypocrites. They aren't prepared to accommodate anyone who doesn't see the world the way they do. This doesn't bode well for social peace in the future.


Biblical sense?  The Bible says to obey your government leaders.   That's why Jesus did not oppose paying taxes.


Gruden sure goes after the coaches and players. It's fun to watch and listen to. I can see why he doesn't get back into coaching, he'd be getting into fistfights every day with them LOL

Smtapu,Too bad that you seem to not understand that the modernists have gone the way of the dogmatists in this post - modern world....  Both are now rejected as a good way to lead us forward.


agreed.  someone that is "going off the deep end" may not even be aware they are holding something.  or that hand was closed into a fist which i think takes it to another level.  a  fist is made in anticipation of trying to do damage.


There is a comprehension issue involved here.  "A fact can not also be a belief??  Where does that come from.  A fact is an agreement with reality.  Belief is a religious expression, fact is not.  No logic course I have known would postulate "I believe the sun is hot."  We 'know' the sun is hot, by actual knowledge of what the sun is.  No, once again, about the 'Creed being fictitious'.  The Creed is a set of beliefs...fictitious contradicts what is known to be true.  Have you been following any of this.  My point; are you here to 'troll' or are you in earnest and serious about what you write.


Yes... I hope te word really gets out on this one!!


Angela Merkel and all other European political leaders who have aided and abetted the ongoing invasion of Europe by the forces of the crescent moon death cult should be tried as accessories to Mr. Urban's murder.


What is most disappointing and depressing, but not really surprising, about the US ban is its stunning partiality. Of the 19 attackers during 9-11, 15 came from Saudi Arabia, and one from Egypt. The female half of the couple that attacked in San Bernadino came from Pakistan. These are documented, identified assassins from Muslim majority countries that are NOT included in the ban. Bannon, Flynn, Conway and Trump are almost bracingly stupid and mendacious.. the problem will be where they find themselves out of depth with  much more formidable adversaries..


We also need an investigation in Canada to determine what laws Freeland has violated here with her secret program and what other personal secret operations she is engaging in at tax payer expense.

She is a predator, this isnt the first time she has been caught.


Another leak, another investigation, and still nothing! The worst part about all of this is that the attempted mass assassination of multiple republicans has been basically wiped from the media pages as it goes against every one of their narratives. They would rather discuss an accusation against Trump.

We all know had the tables been turned and a Trump supporter targeted democrats it would be front and center 24 by 7 for all of the networks.

The fact we have another leak with another unsubstantiated claim with zero evidence leading the political news cycle tells you how awful the media is, and how they are an accomplice to the violence toward conservatives.

The risk to the financial system is only one consideration. A person can have a 40% down payment, and still be (significantly) negatively affected if they can't afford a 2% rate increase and have to lose significant equity in a forced sale.

Finally. After getting criticized for doing little about climate change the Liberals have fired a welcome shot across the bows of the do-nothing premiers like Brad Wall. Funny, all the criticism of Trudeau's decision is coming from the usual suspects and not the petroleum industry which is O.K. with it.


Hello Thomas McGee!

You are wrong. The CBC has NOT reported the connection between high Vancouver house prices and waves of overseas money arriving from China.`

Did you even read the articles you posted? They do not pin, on money from China, the fact that Vancouver house prices have skyrocketed to dozens of times the average annual local income and, further, they make the false claim that, even if money from China had hypothetically been the cause, no policy could have stopped it.

Are you somehow unaware of the difference between money from China and foreign owners? Let me school you. Those "foreign investors" and "foreign buyers", the focus of the CBC's articles, do not hold Canadian passports. They are a tiny force: The HUGE force, UNMENTIONED by the CBC,  are buyers of Canadian passports (investor immigrant programs) and stand-in shills covering up for foreigners. That huge group is not accounted for in talk of "foreign investors". So no, the CBC has not reported what you claim.

We have the safest highway in all of Alaska but the folks up North don't want any money put in to keep it operating. Maybe you folks ought to consider figuring out a way to travel by the Alaska Marine Highway system, the safest highway in America.
But on a more serious note......
The first 17 plus years of my life were spent traveling on the old, original Highway 66 and then Interstate 40 came along to "improve things".
My parents drove us fifty miles one way five days a week so we wouldn't have to go to BIA schools. We rode the Greyhound bus home every night. The number of terrible accidents, including one car accidents, on the "new improved" I-40 out did the old Highway 66. People could drive the 70 miles an hour speed limit (daytime) but always in a hurry to get to Disneyland or to Chicago, they drove 100 plus miles an hour. Too many drove non-stop and fell asleep at the wheel. It's a terrible thing to see entire families, including their pets, laying broken,bloody and scattered.


Yeah sure, zero votes from the other party and 30+ attempts to repeal it is "bipartisan".  Good luck selling that fairy tale.

I think the reporting is that the murdered DNC official is the one who gave WikiLeaks the DNC emails, not the missing 30,000 Hillary deleted as not work related that the FBI found thousands and were actually work related. The State Department just released 44 of those and the watchdog group with the lawsuit also just released 296 emails that were work related and showing a connection between the Clinton Foundation and the State Department. The 340 emails were just the tip of the iceberg of the thousands the FBI found that were supposedly deleted as not work related by Hillary. I have a feeling the FBI and the Justice Department may not be done with Hillary yet.


What did tRUMP say to one of the widows who he called that had died in Niger while on active duty; "he knew what he signed up for, but I guess it still hurt." Never in the history of this country has someone so void of concept ever led this county. We are doomed by stupidity.


These articles don't overtly play the "men are dicks" card but boy they create a stereotype.

This is by design.....

For the record most men are decent honest people and it is so important for authors to point this out.
Instead, IMHO, they leave it out to show their true colours....

I find it fascinating that it takes 10 years for women to come forward?
Why is this? Fear, Revenge? Media coverage to help their careers???

Regarding: " King also stated that the advisory was meant to be confidential, and that the leaking of the document was in violation of church protocols and that those who leaked it were guilty of calumny against Morlino."
- Fortunately ArchbFrancis of Rome was recently advised by his counsel of nine that the 'pontifical secret" needs to be rethought.
- The whole business of running a local church without transparency is rubbish.
- The very notion that a bishop and presbyters are alone in running the church directly leads to clericalism (a grave sin) and a church notable for its bishops and priests alone.


UN-informed people in Ontario think nuclear energy is renewable.

When you start with that, your in trouble.


The preponderance of the evidence indicates there was no such wiretapping.  You are denying reality by trying to switch to other possibilities. You are like those who still claim Nixon was innocent; out of touch. .

Of course he will not resign as the other Senators would not resign who have been in trouble. Why would the public even entertain the idea he will do the right thing? Get rid of this sad institution.


Pidgin is fun, easy, and natural to talk on the playground when you’re a kid. You don’t need to learn it in the classroom, because it has so few rules; it’s also easier to learn if formal English is your second language. While it’s a fine exercise to study it at UH, it doesn’t need to be taught in schools, where the rigor of learning English is difficult enough for many; oddly while easy to speak, it’s very difficult to write, let alone spell check on a computer, which may be why it is facing some decline among text addicted youth, who are developing their own slang for that media. If you could only speak Pidgin, or Hawaiian for that matter, your prospects for employment are very limited, and non-existent if you ever leave Hawai‘i. On the other hand, if you can’t at least understand some Pidgin, you aren’t really experiencing Hawai‘i, just visiting it.


New poll released today: 68% of Republicans agree with Trump.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/americans-divided-over-trumps-response-to-charlottesville-cbs-news-poll/

The Failing New York Times now admits that Trump was right, some of the people protesting against the statue removal were regular folks, not Nazi's or white supremacists.

As usual, the Fake News simply cannot stick to the facts when it comes to Trump.


Lamont Cranston offers "I remember when they first introduced I believe tzizki (Greek garlic yogurt dip). Sold out like cray... Best of my knowledge, never returned, even though everyone in the stores said, yeah, super popular (it may have returned, but I don't even bother to look any more)."

I don't recall Dave Nichol ever pushing Memories of Lamont Cranston tzizki (perhaps Memories of Greece Traditional Tzatziki), but I do not miss the simpler times that Lamont appears to long for...Memories of Rural Canada Hot Turkey Sandwich...white turkey loaf twixt slices of Peter Pan white bread, instant white mashed potatoes and canned baby peas that had lost most of their green giant colour!


And how would that work on a case by case basis?  This isn't an issue yet, but why wait until it is a serious issues as it is in Germany.


Mmmmmm..... quite debatable.

This is complete bullshit. I lived in the building. Donna bought it to make money off her friends in the City govt. Helping domestic violence had nothing do it with it. What about all of us that were living in that building and were kicked out!!!


"The state did not appear to have shipped any items to Juneau — just back to Golovin, Varni added."
Hmmm. So, he's not shipping essential household items back and forth between Golovin and Juneau when he goes back and forth for his legislative duties - he's only shipping stuff to Golovin.
Well, to a small extent that might be expected - you buy an item in Juneau that you need, because you  neglected to have the one you have in Golovin shipped; then at the end of the session, you take the new item home. Okay.
But, "7,381 pounds of stuff that went from Juneau to Golovin in 2015 and 2016, but not the other way around: a washer and a dryer, a piano, four air compressors, building supplies, enlarger parts, a band saw, a basketball backboard, lawn chairs, four weight benches, three fans and three vacuums ..."
Yeah, I'm sure lots of folks would like to have free shipping on big items going to bush areas.


I'm not exactly a pro-gun or pro-violence person, but I'd like to see some details as to why Mr. Elliot was arrested for killing someone who entered his residence and attacked him. I hope there's some follow-up to this story.

There was a fund.  It was spent to placate the unions and the bureaucrats demanding more and more tax money.


If the Democrats turn three Senate seats in the 2018 elections, they can undo the nuclear option.  Fat chance of that, though.

 "It threatens to reduce U.S. democracy to majority rule by cutting off both debate and discernment. While the opposition sits back silenced and silent, the ruling party will run the country."

And there is nothing democratic about a filibuster, or about requiring more than a simple majority to confirm appointments or pass legislation.  Democracy (at the Senate level) is by majority rule.  That is the system that the founders founded.  Don't like it, then elect more senators to your side of the aisle.  But don't disparage it as being un-democratic when the majority flexes its muscles.

Mr. Konar came here as an immigrant and found success, good for him. He also arrived here at a golden time, when higher education was virtually free or very low cost, housing still reasonably cheap and good jobs relatively plentiful, a lot of advantages that most twenty-somethings( his "many native-born Americans" that he dumps on) today don't have. From his perch in the upper middle class, things no doubt looked rosy, so why rock the boat. Maybe if he'd paid better attention to what was going on in the rest of the country ( where things weren't so grand ) before the 2016 elections, or looked beyond the color of Obama's skin he wouldn't be so shocked, sad and embarrassed at how things turned out.

I have followed some of your comments on the article "Geese-creatures also teachers" link below
https://www.ncronline.org/blogs/soul-seeing/geese-creatures-also-teachers

 In your running commentary with Lumen Gentleman  I realized that would not be able to keep up with the vocabulary used by you so I avoid bringing none human life forms into our discussion but not out of disrespect to you as you definitely do count obviously you have great empathy for all living creature which can only be admired. If I had attempted to do so I would have made a dogs dinner (Total Mess) of our possible anthropocentric (I cannot say the word never mind spell it) dialogue.

I hope this reply to you has created trust between us and we can both leave this discourse with mutual respect.

I'm confused. The article states repeatedly that the Supreme Court case is for juveniles convicted of "non-homicide" offenses, but then the Post's example for this story is Guy Lucero who, according to the Denver Post, was "sentenced to 84 years in prison based on his consecutive penalties for murder and attempted murder." Then the story only mentions attempted murder and not an actual murder conviction. I'm assuming that it's just sloppy reporting and editing, or is the story not presenting all of the facts?


Condolences to you and your family, Pitt II.  Too, too sad of a story.  Trust me when I say this, your father was not alone when he passed away.


Seriously Chris, why don't you admit you are employed by the liberals? Oh, whoops, I mean Cassandra.


And thus, the Church is now capable of convincing itself that it can never do anything at all.


I think the core issue is one of anthropology. Official Catholic teaching continues to be grounded in the idea of the human person as a rational animal who, precisely as human, can (and should) rise above one's passions and choose to act in an intelligent, responsible manner, which the Church interprets as acting in accord with official teaching.
I think contemporary anthropology has moved away from the idea of a rational animal to one that sees reason as but one of the faculties that make us human. In this view, sexual expression is a function on par with rationality -- something the Church doesn't seem capable of accepting.
