Or is it "another 58 Americans slaughtered at the shrine of death worship"?......where anti-gun Democrats defend and somewhat consider honorable the 60,000,000 abortions that have occurred since 1973.
-
When "murder for just-because" is legalized and defended.....why should we be "shocked" when "murder for just-because" occurs outside the abortion clinics?


Go look for it yourself.  You're not my boss.


The overriding impression of the President's performance is that of arrogance. South Africa,  it is our duty to change him into a humble and respectful man in 2019. The disrespect he shows those who did not vote for him is crystal clear.


Interesting article.  IP is often only seen as a good and a driver of R&D effort, but there is a negative side in that it stifles communication (ironically in this age).  It also acts as a barrier to small players who often have the most innovative ideas but lack the deep pockets and law teams of the incumbents.

IP was started as an incentive program in a time when communication was much less efficient and by people who understood this tradeoff. It has morphed into a right.  Extensions to copyrights have even been applied retroactively, adding nothing in the way  incentives but adding to the costs and barriers side of IP.


I miss the good old days when Reagan and Mulroney tackled acid rain and defeated it.  It can be done.


allow immigrants who aren’t yet citizens to vote
______________

Absolutely HELL NO. That is TREASON.


Correct.


The press, the mainstream the media, and non-Trump supporters are all SO mean to President Trump.....  SOOO, soooooooo mean.

President Trump has to wipe away his tears from the screen of his cellphone before he can tweet.

You would have to go back to Jesus to find another leader as persecuted as Trump - and even that one is a toss-up.


Eight daughters, one son, and 32 grandchildren (http://dennisrichardson.com/about-dennis/).
In this overcrowded world, that is enough reason to vote against him.


So exactly how many people are shocked by this find.   A fortune to build   No where near enough trained people to staff it/   Oh and correct me if I am wrong.  Was not one of the people doing the tests doing the evidence????   Another huge cluster**** when the money was flowing.


When can the public visit the restaurant and eat their dishes? How much will they cost? What hours are they open. I will visit often if they're cooking is good.


Um, because he was attempting to kill a trooper by driving over him with a vehicle.  Ever been run down by a car?


As wealth disparity grows and more and more people are relegated to serfdom, 'Trump Fever' will continue to grow.  If the republicans thought that this year was an aberration, they'll find out differently in four years...or less.


I think it would be more accurate to say that Americans allowed Trump to get within sniffing distance of the presidency thanks to Putin, and Republicans were able to cheat the rest of the way through voter suppression and intimidation efforts that they've been engaged in for years and for which they have been legally sanctioned.
Trump was "elected" with the votes of just over a quarter of eligible voters.
I bought no lemon, would sell my soul to the devil before ever voting Republican, and do not believe we have to "keep" the maggot-in-chief or his family of blood-sucking ghouls. If you think people should resign themselves and their children's future to this despicable Thingamabob-in-chief then you're weak, Mr. Scott, truly weak.


Didn't know we win with completion percentages.


Not really, the U.C. schools are very good. Rejected students would rather apply at some no name university in India, Asia or even in Cuba before wasting their money to attend UH teaching Libtard Politics at community college levels.


Rubbish.  The entire surface area of the reservoir is 4,000 Ha, or 40 square kilometres, (20 Km  x 2 Km.) That's roughly double the surface area of the river at present. The area to be flooded represents 0.4% of Ag land in the Peace River district and 0.2% of Ag land in BC.  If that will feed 1 million, the balance of Peace River Ag land can feed almost 140 million Canadians.

Alternative energy sources? A  windmill has a 20 year lifespan. A dam's electrical generation capacity is approximately 100 years.  The Paris accord requires CO2 cuts of 30% by 2030, the transportation sector which contributes 27% of CO at present, must be electrified. The claim that we can rely on the Columbia River (USA) dam's capacity is foolish. When Trump says America First, it means everyone else last. The only energy security we can count on is our domestic supply.

Finally, blowing off about $5 billion to mothball a $9  or $10 billion project is astoundingly stupid.


According to the Harbor Master in a CNN interview, the dock has multiple signs warning visitors to not feed the migrating sea lions and that they are wild animals and should be treated as such. He also commented, 'You can't legislate stupid.'

Pontificating nonsense! You'd actually come into the public sphere and quote Naomi Klein? Tell me, what books not from the far left have you read to keep a good perspective on things? Or, like all Lefty's, you only read what you already agree with?


Thanks for a thought provoking comment.  I am not sure if "secularization has mutated into a militantly anti-Christian and anti-Church ideology" or if Christian ideology has not mutated into a "militantly anti-secular society" ideology.  Both "sides" are battling. .Same is true in Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist societies - the religion is trying to control the secular society.

It worries me that we need the influence of faith based people to know how to live together, to not fall into traps of nationalism, which is tribalism writ larger.   All these faiths do teach us a basic respect for one another, of the God given humanity we all share.  But each faith wants to determine social rules that all must live by.  Maybe they just want villages of their own faith and separation of people by faith groups.

That isn't going to work.  We are in a time of globalism, of movement of people across and around the world, of instant and constant communication capabilities.  Faiths must learn to get along


I am trying to understand. So if I become a one-percenter, I can set up a trust and pay very little or no tax? Is this how Justin and his finance man go about it? How can I become a one-percenter member?


So, now the G&M comments are highly critical of trudeau and his government ! What happened ? There was nothing unprdictable in any of this ! He's following the practices of the clintons, his father and many other politicians who saw political power as a means to try their ideological theories upon an ignorant public and get rich at the same time. Where's the surprise ?


Kim Mullen, Please realize that this bill would empower any person in partnership ship with any single law enforcement personnel to search and confiscate firearms from any legal firearm owner but not illegal ones since there would be no record or registration.  The bill has good intentions but is intrusive to the rights of any legal firearm owner, e.g. they can also come to your home because your son or daughter owns a firearm and turn your residence upside down during the search since it may be the address on the registration.  The criteria for confiscation can be meaningless since it would be very easy to document and fabricate false reasons and leaves so much room for corruption.  Beware of this empowerment!


How about some facts. China setup its Investment Bank (AIIB) to compete with the World Bank, the latter setup by the U.S. to control global development. U.S. sneered at the AIIB and refused to join, disallow Japan too. But today the China Investment Bank has 57 full members with 25 more negotiating to join. Canada being one. The AIIB target is 100 member countries and looks like this will happen. How's that for leadership by a 'communist totalitarian regime'. Your choice of word only tell me of your ignorance and dogma brain of a Trump. Do yourself a favor and purge.


What an awesome article - kudos to ADN for recognizing an amazing performance of an up and coming great Seawolf Setter! Welcome Madi!!


"Trudeau won't live to see a balanced budget"
There are many factors that could see a balanced budget sooner than you think.
First is the effect of the infrastructure investment bank.  No financial model has taken that into effect as no-one knows how to estimate its effect.
Second, overhauling the tax system could increase revenues, especially if it moves toward taxing consumption rather than income.
Third, taxing the capital gains on primary residences could be implemented so that those flipping residences, after a year or two, for profit would pay tax while those living in their primary residence for many years would not.
Fourth, the government could reign in spending.
Being in deficit until 2050 assumes no changes to taxes and no changes to spending.

So which domestic and foreign policies is it Afghanistan is supposed to adopt in an effort to stop all these terrorist attacks?


Sally, you ignorant hack, the President is empowered by the Constitution to do EXACTLY what you say he can't. The Attorney General, nor the Director of the FBI are independently elected. As such the President has COMPLETE control over them and their actions. Nice try trying to protect your fellow travelers, tho'.  Sadly for you, you're just flat out wrong.


For the historical record, here's a link to a video from the National Policy Institute's conference in DC this weekend regarding Trump's plans for the nation's future:

Note how everyone waves hello to Trump at the end.  Or perhaps I should say "hail-o"


Anybody who actually believes that it was Kim Campbell, and not the legacy of Brian Mulroney, that led the PCs to the greatest defeat in Party history is either woefully ignorant of Canadian history and politics, too young to remember, or a flat-out liar.


The concentration of carbon dioxide in exhaled human breath is about 40,000 ppm, which is far above the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide of about 400 ppm. Anyone who claims that carbon dioxide is causing catastrophic climate change and keeps exhaling is a hypocrite.


Fairminded, you are right.  That's why the registry IS cruel and unusual punishment.  The lawyer who argued this case in court has herself received death threats. She's simply a lawyer that did the job she was paid to do and she received death threats.
Also, anyone who would befriend, love, or support a sex offender, particularly a child molester, is viewed as human trash the same as the offender. Sex offenders' kids are bullied and ostracized by others. Where's the concern for the safety of the children?  It seems only certain kids are worthy of that concern and it certainly isn't the children of a registered offender.


Be specific and name the date and time of the incident please.


Race has nothing to do with marriage; sex does.  To fail to see that fundamental fact renders the rest of the discussion irrelevant.  And if the person does know for what the cake is intended and does not agree with that, he should trample his conscience in order to comply with a questionable notion of "non-discrimination?"  No.


For the first time in this dudes life, he sees "smarter heads in the GOP"  lol yuk yuk , there is no reality to this kind of drivel.


DUI is never excusable.  I hope he gets suspended by the NFL.


Refusing to patronize establishments owned by AB&M damages employees the most.  They were strong enough to go to the Labor Board and still keep working even though angry.  They shouldn't be punished with losing their jobs because of the owner's management practices.  AB&M will pay them their back wages plus fines and if it weren't for their persistence the owner's would be continuing to cheat their employees.  About time they were actually charged with their criminal activities.

I would assume Correct the Record financed the dossier.


If Al was anything like the man you describe, then he wouldn't want to see precious tax payer funded resources wasted on "no value" initiatives like this.


The short answer is, YES, of course they are being over-fished. Will ADF&G react in time to to prevent a  long term problem, of course not. ADF&G has a conflict of interest, they will never say no if it might impact sport license sales which is a large revenue source for them.


The FBI stated they didn't have enough evidence and she has been investigated since the 90s, but any day now we will find evidence that she did it.

Any day now she will be found guilty.

Meanwhile, Trump runs around opening talking about sexually assaulting women and refers to his daughter as a piece of ass he would like to date, and the integrity question falls to Clinton?

What reality do you live in?


When one actually studies the numbers, it becomes clear that there are huge variations in the way that these tourism activities are represented. The total shown for visitors is 3.3 million but the total of the country data on this page is actually 2,152,442. What accounts for the variance?
The biggest variance is for Cuba. Here it shows 527,757 Canadian visitors but according to The Conference Board of Canada, this number is 1,299,980, a difference of 772,223 while Statistics Canada show the figure as 800,000.
Variations appear for the other countries too but this is the most glaring.
Does the number depend on who is gathering the data and which one is accurate?

Where did you dream up the $ 72,000 dollar income from.  If that was true Trump would have few supporters in parts of the country he leads in.


Yes people who loot their countries and corporations for private gain stick together.  We have lost our collective minds.

Conservatism has degenerated into an intellectually and morally bankrupt ideology. It offers nothing more than bumper-sticker slogans that pander to the prejudices and ignorance of the lowest common denominator. Angry, cruel and sneering, it is exemplified by the carnival barkers on talk radio, Sun Media and Fox News. High in volume, but devoid of substance, it has no long-term future because it lacks credible solutions to the range of problems society faces today.

O'Leary is just the latest film flam artist leading the Conservative war on the intellectual habits needed to detect lies.

Well said Icon66 and I stand corrected by Helene Cixious herself.
Is there a feminist equivalent for "Dude?" (certainly not Dudess)


But, but, but ... Christianity is different! The Crusaders who slaughtered Jews in Medieval-era Germany weren't "really" Christian! The Spanish Inquisition officials and executioners weren't "really" Christian. The Protestants and Roman Catholics who bombed and shot and committed other violence in Northern Ireland weren't "really" Christian. The members of the KKK aren't "really" Christian.
(Yes, I've heard that argument, sadly.)


The judicial branch is part of the checks and balances  in the system...and yeah when the people vote in something that is unconstitutional, the courts can toss it out...the founding fathers were wary of the tyranny of the majority...like the two wolves and a sheep voting on dinner...

There are pretty fundamental rules about who you can sue and when...You'd likely need more than just an underage driver to hook any negligence on the retailer...and youd still need to show somehow that the sale of the weed was a contributing factor  in the collision...which could be difficult to impossible...Now the state may attempt to create something similar to the dram shop/liquor liability laws...but again it would be difficult to prove what you'd need to prove to prevail.......and in Alaska you have no direct action against a 3rd party's insurer....so they would be out in the first 10 minutes of the lawsuit....and billing you for their expenses....so would the state...and the feds...


I recall in Anchorage a few days close to -40 degF in the 60s & 70s.  Do you remember how many record cold temperatures records were broken in interior Alaska 2012?  Lots!

Not sure how you were measuring the temperature in the 60s & 70s but I doubt you experienced an ambient temp of -60 degF in the Kink-Matanuska River area.  Perhaps -55 degF in some localize area with temperature inversions, but not -60 degF.


"a rash of racially damning incidents" ... there was one incident in Eugene, not a "rash." And that one incident may have been spurred not by Trump, but by the UO repudiation of the professor's Halloween costume and/or the recent riots by Black Lives Matter. Beyond Eugene the reporter cites only one other incident in Oregon and four elsewhere before turning to the Southern Poverty Law Center for its slanted rhetoric.


Au contraire, Stephen. It will be a very 'pleasant' sight, in my humble opinion, to see his ambitions disappear in jail.

Very pleasant indeed.


so , as most of us...you do the "what if?".  i think, just by commenting, people naturally do the "what if or maybe"  you do enjoy research, old research may be outdated, but research is good, especially with the RG being the RG.  it's almost always the the short story. no outside sources, no investigating even just one layer deeper - the very recent story about the house on ruby lane was a train wreck.  the RG went to print (i assume) with a very weak, incomplete story that really distorted the actual situation by leaving out context and large,  pertinent chunks of information.  there was much more info and much more interesting as it played out in the comments.  people involved in the story commenting gave a much more accurate picture and was a black eye to the RG for their lack of digging.  i think it's great you like to research and can add perspective or context to a story.  maybe it's ego - meh.  information is information. it's why i read the paper...


Is this the same Marcus Gee who  a while back was lamenting about the stratospheric prices of Toronto
housing?  Being saddened by the fact that his three children will never be able to live in Toronto, or at
least never own a home.
What a poor excuse for a review of a very important book.  I moved to Toronto in the mid 70s and I
sure still feel that the city was so much better then than it is today.  It was a livable city with a much
more mixed population.  The Beaches, where I bought my first house for less than $ 40 000 was a wonderful mix of young and old, lower middles class to pretty wealthy. With relevant stores that
serviced the community and a healthy sense of communal spirit and belonging.  I and my husband
were young with a very low income.  Today this is an impossibility in this neighbourhood as well as
in most other.  Toronto, like so many cities has become a place for the wealthy alone.  This is not better, it's tragic and sad.


It's not much uglier than massive concrete rail stations in the sky, and it would bring much greater quality of life.

Yes he could have been stopped. In fact he was already behind bars. But Portland, being the liberal forgiving society it is, let him out. And they'll do it again, and so will he.


Please quit listening to rush and sean.  That very old right-wing story of the Clintons "stealing" objects from the White House was debunked long ago.

Our choice is between these two candidates.  I would have rather seen Senator Sanders as the nominee, but that didn't happen.  Hillary is far from perfect.  However, she is not the very real threat to the welfare and safety of our nation and, in fact, the entire world Mr. Trump represents.  It's quite easy to sit back and say "oh, they're both just awful,  so I'm not going to vote for either one."  That, in my opinion, is a classic cop-out.


Maybe it should be in Elvish?


Why do you keep lying about Ms. Manning?  Mr Obama did not pardon her, yet you obsessively write that he did.

Can't you stop lying?


Trinidad:  Capitalizing random words has gotten YOUR ATTENTION, or you would not be complaining.   As far as being coached, there is a huge discrepancy in  definition  between "coached", and "talented".    You are claiming that Seda or Kristin are two of the most talented writers YOU know.  That's because they have you "BRAIN WASHED",  they have you caught up and  trapped in THEIR  world, they have YOU believing that your crew is in a healthy  situation, (notice I did not use the word "FAMILY"),   Currently, they have the wool pulled over your eyes.  Wait until you are 18 years old or older, and are out of the "NEST",  hopefully college,  or better yet,  go into the Military.  The Military turns Boys into MEN.   College is not the real world yet, its a step up from living at home.  Most people do not grow up in college,  its SEX PLAY day's  for them with a few actually focusing on education.  After you have left home and been out in the real world for 2-3 years, now tell us your story.


Stick a fork in is we're done 😁


She has proven to be quite dishonest and she is under investigation, that is not in dispute, except by her. Why would anyone want her in the Whitehouse? I find it quite disturbing that anyone would vote for her with the baggage she carries. Where have all the quality people gone in politics? I'm not feeling good about the future of our country.


Hi my name is Shane Hatcher although I can't say a whole lot about the case due to court related issues I will say this I did nothing wrong or would I change anything that I did that day.I do support the 2nd amendent I my self do not carry a fire arm but I fully support those who do a little about myself I am a professional security guard and have been for the last 15 years I have done security for the President of the united states of this great nation we are so privileged to live in I have done security keeping many members of your family's safe on a daily bases from night clubs ,concerts,uaa college functions, AFN gatherings , to protecting trick or treater's I am not a saint by any means though I do trust and believe in my higher power whom I choose to call God anyways to the day in question I had just finished a long shift were I had to deal with someone who comitted suicide about 6 feet in front of me from roughly a hundred feet up so by the time I got home I was pretty drained


'till his dying breath as President Obama continued doing what he has done for the past eight years, sow the seeds of divisiveness and hatred, all in the name of tolerance and inclusiveness, of course.


Trump's Administration is prioritizing Homeland Security and the safety of all American citizens.  Both American and Canadian communities are experiencing difficulty integrating the massive numbers of new immigrants.  There is a serious shortage of employment opportunities, housing, and financial resources to get all of them started in a new country.  It has obviously resulted in the-final-straw that has tipped the balance of radical domestic supremacists, as well as marginalized racial communities.  Either we exterminate  all of the domestic hate organizations and individuals, or we apply temporary remedial policy to stop the never-ending flow of mass immigration.


I don't believe he gave any evidence under oath. But more importantly, his appeal of the convictions (including the guilty pleas) is still pending. At any rate, it was pending in 2015, when he was released on bail, the Alberta judge saying: "There is unchallenged expert evidence before the Court that his appeal is not barred by his waiver of appeal rights, and that it has a strong probability of success."


With M103 in play, this article or similar news will be come history soon in Canada under this government.


WanchFaised, the FEDS actions from start to finish says one thing. PREMEDITATED MURDER ! Their actions say nothing but they planned to kill them, the 2 girls screwed that plan up. Obama & Co. wanted to make an example of them. You keep lying to yourself, and lying for tyrants, supporting a traitor makes you a traitor. Don't worry if they are successful in their NWO COMMIE takeover, you can be proud you helped destroy your own country, BE PROUD ! There is one thing you should know, TRAITORS always get shot in the back of the head when their little task is complete. Anyone with a little sense knows a person that sells out his own country, hell he can't be trusted, why worry about it.. BOOM !


Canadian universities are increasingly regressing into "safe spaces" of politically correct ignorance imposed by the vocal minority of career activists. Jordan Peterson has been left to the pc wolves while administrators defer to the mob in a (now common) display of cowardly self-preservation. A biology professor is fearing for his personal safety after refusing to leave campus on "no-whites" day in Washington State. Frances Widdowson has been shunned by her peers who refuse to even engage her work because it doesn't follow "accepted" themes about First Nations policy. Pride Toronto capitulating to BLM under the threat of "direct action". Canada's Science Minister pushing a personal political bias void of objectivity that does a chilling disservice to Canada's scientific community. The suffocating political correctness is part of a broader narrative that has become commonplace at the Globe - be it comments, editorials, or opinions. I'm surprised this article was even published.


I'm happy that Rex Tillerson is a moderating voice.  "Fourth in line" is not Secretary Tillerson.  In elementary school we learned that the President pro tempere is the 4th in line after the speaker of the house- after the vice-president in a real catastrophe.  So it would be Pence, Ryan and Hatch, then Tillerson.
Heather Nauret(?) should develop a longer fuse in the press room, comes off very snarky compared to past State Department spokesmen. Studying a little history wouldn't be a bad idea either. Remember the mistake Alexander Haig made?  Maybe not! Why does no one know these things about our government any longer? To serve in the cabinet or in any branch of our government-this should be a requirement.

Don,  they can't touch the corpus, they will however take all that remains of the earnings reserve next year. They will pad their retirement with it and suck the last of the CBR dry just like they did the SBR . They are all in it to pad their constitutionally mandated retirements. When that's done and the states revenue stream is like the city of Las Vegas, they will gladly disappear after having crippled and or destroyed this state economically.


Heads need to roll at the CRA.  This was a clear attempt to undermine the government.  A full investigation is required.  I wonder if the Cons are OK with that?


Who is the "some guy"?  A ghost writer?  "Amoris Laetitia' has MORE authority BECAUSE hundreds of bishops were meeting to discuss it.  The documents of Vatican II REQUIRED Papal Synods [that is what this is called] to be held regularly [the pope with the bishops], just as it had occurred in the ancient Christian church.  Papal synods of this kind were held almost until the time of the Reformation.  One of the strongest popes of the second millennium, Gregory VII, held such papal synods regularly, and obviously he did not think they were injurious to papal authority.

Through the whole first millennium the popes wrote no encyclicals nor did they define any dogmas of the faith.  The popes of the first millennium did not exercise a universal government of the whole church.  The popes in their capacity as bishop of Rome and successor of Peter were the BOND OF COMMUNION for all the other local church and the bishops, the successors of the Apostles.


Mainstream media and network comedy made the same mistake. They felt confident they could indoctrinate their audiences and "deliver" them for their preferred candidate.  They forgot to consider that a lot of people would simply hit the off switch.


They don't do telecom research as big as Huawei does here. Huawei employs almost 1k personals in Ontario, they are highly paid jobs.

BTW, besides Bell, Telus, all budget carriers use Huawei equipments in Canada, that is why people have choice  to be screwed less by big companies.


Where can I get this information about not being required to accept treatment. Not that this is the point, but I worked in a behavioral health center, and even for our involuntary patients, they still are allowed an amount of autonomy that they can refuse treatment. The main requirement that they are safe and not a safety hazard on those in the community was the point. And it was really hard to get involuntary treatment (Joel's Law) for patients. Civil rights cannot demand medical treatment unless very specific arguments are made.

But the point being the first step is that they are safe and the streets are safer. And yes, you are right. The welfare of the community is important. Was this not adddressed in the plan?


Old Soul -

What I don't believe in is some kid who is 18 - who very likely first tried cigarettes when he was 12-14 because some other 18-year old "adult" offered him cigarettes - and who is now addicted - going out and buying cigarettes for some other 12-14-year old.

It is a senseless cycle.

We scream bloody murder about the illegal drugs pouring in from other countries, but allow US cigarette companies to addict our kids - and to export cigarettes to other countries.

The American tobacco industry accounts for less than 1% of our national economy, but our political system has never shut them down.  But we can't figure out why those OTHER countries cannot get their illegal drug growers and manufacturers in check - though in those countries that industry can account for 40-60% of their GDP.

Cigarettes have been proven to be terribly harmful since the 1950's.  That our kids can still get them so easily is a huge societal failure.


Law school socializes lawyers pretty uniformally, save for fringe schools like Ave Maria and Liberty. Clerkship does the rest. Gorsuch clerked for Kennedy. Think about that for a while.

They must be true blue Canadian... after all, no true Canadian would ever be able to grow a company to international level or revenue past a small-to-medium size... That should be a test at citizenship time: which country's owners/founders will sell ASAP to Americans as soon as they can because they feel only Americans can take a company to the next level?

Lekanoff was talking about the big Post Office that was built in Dutch Harbor. A government building. During Reagan's reign. The Post Office built many offices around the state and elsewhere, during the 80's.
Now during Obama years, the Republicans have made the Post Office pay for retired workers 75 years into the future. It's breaking the PO. But the Republicans want to privatize anyway. No other government agency pays for itself, just the PO. No other government agency has to pay for retirees that aren't even born yet, just the PO.  So, many offices built around Alaska and the lower 48, are closing due to this added tax.


Too bad Judge Judy didn't hear the case, eh Larsy?
She would have bought your weak argument.

[...] For the second quarter in a row, President Donald Trump declined to take a salary and opted instead to gift the quarterly installment to a government entity, this time to the Department of Education...
 http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/trumpometer/promise/1341/take-no-salary/

Article II of the Constitution requires a president to be paid:
-The President shall, at stated times, receive for his services, a compensation, which shall neither be increased nor diminished during the period for which he shall have been elected... https://constitutioncenter.org/interactive-constitution/articles/article-ii

[...] Trump reiterated this pledge as president-elect more than a year later on Nov. 13, 2016, when he told 60 Minutes' Lesley Stahl he still wouldn't take the salary.
"I think I have to by law take $1, so I'll take $1 a year," Trump said...

It has been less than 24 hours since the Chiefs got their 4th straight victory over the not so super team from Colorado.


So I am the enemy now. Too funny.


"At no point did he attempt to admonish the crowd for suggesting a democratically-elected politician be thrown in jail over her policies."

That's false.  His first response to counter the crowd's chant with "Vote Her Out".

Sounds pretty democratic to me.


This is going to be like that scene in the move "Kingsman:Secret Service"..... When Clinton is elected all the Trump supporters' heads will explode to "Pomp and Circumstance"

Can't wait to watch that


Nice words. Deeds?


Whens the lynching?


You made a point - who knew.


There were 3 whales - Tilikum and 2 females (Haida and Nootka, IIRC) - in the pool at the time. They generally didn't have a lot to do, though on rare occasions, they'd be given a toy to play with. To them, anything that got dropped in the pool became a toy, and sadly, Keltie Burns slipped and fell partly into the water. There is apparently some evidence that it was Tilikum who pulled her the rest of the way in, which is why he has gotten most of the blame, but all three of them were involved.


The letter P. is an abbreviation for an English word that won't make it past the censors. Its French equivalent is "minou".


Gee where have I heard your ideas before???  Oh yeah HARPER was stating that is what we should be doing, the outrage of the enlightened led us to this money pit solution.


Actually, Canadians were unprepared for the extremely illegal activities of our Prime Minister and police forces, which enabled this catastrophe in Canada.


Just think about the premise of this enforcement - normally we wouldn't bother illegal aliens breaching our borders, only the 'repeat' offenders. But now we are doing it, to prevent them from dying in the desert.


Except that is conservative, how do you guys say, alternative facts, and our standard of living is not declining


Pure, unadulterated BS. The KMPL is approved, like it or not Mr Weaver.

The Feds approve these things so little provincial politicians can't do exactly this. 3 seats and he thinks he's king of BC. LOL.


Just great, just when we need help to pay for the rail these anti trumpers will be out making fools of themselves.  Maybe I'll finally get to see what klastri, boots, keaukaha, allie, cellodad, and the rest of the ding a lings look like on TV when they get tasered, water blasted or teared. Ha, lol. Chin better be out there front and center. What an ahole.


Obviously you forgot about clinton the rapist. There i reminded you


No, it's crap because it's still degrading and limits their freedom arbitrarily according to the predilection of men. Don't you see?


Mr. Trump found a direct link to his target audience - Twitter. With that, he can reach the people and give them the straight goods, without interference and misrepresentation by the pundits and the 'free press'.
Barack Obama did it first with canvassing aggressively through social media and was very successful against an establishment candidate, called Hillary Clinton.
Nobody stopped her to do the same. She didn't and lost.
Twice.


So Grace Park was a submarine?  Definitely, not a "baby boomer".


What incentive would prompt North Korea to cooperate "... unless it denuclearizes and gives up its weapons of mass destruction."? It sure didn't help Saddam Hussein or Muammar Gaddafi from U.S.-inspired regime change. But having a nuclear capability has prevented war and invasion invasion of Israel, Iran, Russia, China, India and Pakistan.


Trump would definitely flinch. The mere thought that a building with his name on it being destroyed would terrify him.


Science doesn't deal in "irrefutable proof" nor does anyone say global warming "caused" the cat 5 hurricanes this season.

Thankfully baseball writers don't get to choose this. If Arenado was in NY or Boston, the fools would have to carry drool rags around.

What happened to "DON'T FEED THE TROLLS"?


Really, R.D.?  You are judgementalist #1 on this web page.


Right now I feel sorry for your kids and grandbabies. You're a poor excuse for a human being.


The liberals must hate this! That is one reason that I don't understand them.


ONE GUY made all three phantom calls that changed the outcome of the game. No reason to question anything there. I'm absolutely certain that the PAC 12 would go to any length to make sure the teams from their conference were NEVER given any sort of advantage,especially when playing schools from the non power five group. If you watched the game, the Rams were the better team, and I know that the players walked off the field knowing that.


"So-called "liberal" bishops like Cupich do not insist that everyone vote Democratic or think like a liberal. They want Catholics of all types to seek common ground. Cupich calls Catholics to focus on what we share in common one with another, and with all people, not to start by highlighting our differences or by noting the speck in our brother's eye."

A noble enterprise, to be sure, but one that will require a generation to undo the damage of Richard John Neuhaus, et al. who worked tirelessly to make the Catholic Church the Republican Party at prayer, a phrase that used to be associated with the Episcopalians. Given the volume of conservative bishops who share Cupich's predecessor's vision, I'd say his noble effort is akin to using a teaspoon to dig a well. But I suppose you have to start somewhere, and as a liberal I welcome Cardinal Cupich's approach. Unfortunately it will take an army of Cupiches to reach groundwater when digging that well. Let's hope Pope Francis lives long.


Well, thanks for sharing. Now, might you please answer my question? Again, just curious.


"'When you look at how much tuition has risen versus how much people are making, I don’t think anybody should have to choose between quality of life and education,' she said."

Those who achieve their goals in life understand that there are necessarily sacrifices and compromises to be made along the path to success.  Most survive their college years, even on a diet of ramen noodles (and beer?), unscathed.


Wow, you went back three years and found a Forbes article that says Politifact's rating Obama's "you can keep your health care plan" it's lie of the year in 2013 was disingenuous because in 2008 they rated it true?

Boy, do I feel discredited.


"In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread..."

Working to produce or earn food and shelter is the human condition. If you have a problem with that, take it up with biology. If you cannot earn a living, there's plenty charity to go around for the deserving, assuming of course you don't live in a communist disaster zone. If you think you're *entitled* to live off the work of others, as socialists do, then *you* are the one engaging in slavery.

And yeah, other dictatorships also sucked. That doesn't mean the Soviet one is worth celebrating.


Alberta needs not only to separate, but to start training its own army. By invading B.C. they could combine the two provinces into a very powerful country and stop equalization cold.


This being the Internet, I am not at liberty to disclose my location. I'm sure you can understand why. We are in rural Utah, but I'm sure other community health centers have similar offerings. As a community health center, we can also sell medication on an income-based fee scale. Many of our patients get inexpensive birth control this way.

Allowing religious exemption does nothing to address the larger issue of affordability for all patients - particularly for medications; this is what we should be discussing.


Just another corrupt republican doing business as usual....


I am no fan of coal...but to see the huge old mine sites sitting idle....its great at least one is re opening.

You have to be kidding me on this one Maggie. Try writing something that has at least one ounce of 'from the right intellect' in it. It's about time someone started to move U.S. foreign policy in the right direction after 8 years of Obama pussy footing like a complete wuss.  Kudos to Mr. Trump, who had the curtesy to recognize a free country like Taiwan and stick it to the Chinese. They are lining up to be Secretary of State.
Dal


No I checked out the inside sources website there snarky one.


Yeah for the McDougal's !!!!! They are ridding us of this evil tree plantation, and replacing it with housing; housing that will bring in a lot more property taxes the county seriously could use.


Yeah, I guess I wrote that wrong. Oops


There are thousands of cannabis related SKUs. It isn't "just another product". Wynne's plan completely misses the mark. For just one example, extracts (eg shatter) is a huge component of the market, yet the government  does not even recognize its existence nor the variations that can be produced.


Gives another meaning to 'Biting the bullet'.... but quite frankly SAPS are disorganized and in SA, a danger to Society, poorly let politically and among its staff, top to bottom.
All too often we hear of police brutality and it is seemingly endemic. This in no way absolves the rioters, I feel the same way about them.


My the G&M is really out to get Trump.

Mr Trump has the same opportunity as Obama had re health care. First, note that virtually everything around him was produced by the private sector. And it all works except health care. And there it is medicaid and medicare, government programs, which have a major impact.

The US medical system is the best in the world. Unfortunately it is not connected to the poor. At the same time the US welfare "system", like ours, needs attention. These two areas could be fixed by a Guaranteed Annual Income FOR THE POOR. Then the poor could access the private sector for health care and housing and food, and whatever, just like other Americans.

I would suspect that cancelling all the various welfare programs including Medicare and Medicaid would provide enough money for the Guaranteed Annual Income. If not, so be it. The US is a wealthy country. It would be getting a better health care system and better living for the poor.

A far better country to live in.


Too bad.  Stuff happens.  Find another country to hold to the same standards as America.
You have fellow citizens who are denied their human rights and if this is front page news of an international incident then a lot of people have too much time on their hands.

You got bad customer service. Get over it.


The voucher system will not get your kid into that good private school in town.  The price of that school will just go up the amount of the voucher.  The rich kids will still have their exclusive school voucher program or not.  For profit schools will open and then close as profits go unrealized.


I agree with SA.  Trump is attacking Americans who depend on this type of insurance.  He needs to apologize and let Congress fund the ACA as the law requires.  He has been a failed, vicious president.


Cuts need to be planned and executed on the ground, with the personnel you have listed it sounds just like a timber faller job.


I'm surprised your comment made it this far. Clearly you didn't understand the article. This doctor earned and deserved the medals he received from Canada. What other better options did he have?


I do not understand how Trump (or any other adult) could have SO little self-control that he cannot ever restrain himself from tweeting excerpts of his whiny tantrums du jour -- with foreseeable results.  This time, of course, he sent millions of people online to watch & forward (and talk about) the SNL skit, turning a tame spoof into a news item.

Surely even Trump must know that, even before TV, most major-party nominees & all Presidents have been continually mocked by comedians, indeed skewered by the sharpest ones (e.g., Will Rogers, Mort Sahl, Jon Stewart & Bill Maher...).  SNL certainly has repeatedly lampooned Obama throughout his presidency and it continues to mock Clinton.

Do Trump's followers imagine he'd develop a thicker skin, some foresight & real self-control by midJanuary?


Seriously? Are you folks truly this clueless?

This is not at all intended to block religious invocations. This is trying to circumvent those that wish to make a mockery of religious invocations by parading in any sort of invocation they can to mock the practice until they succeed in ending the practice.

If you can't see that, youre choosing not to.


I can agree with most of the picks but I disagree with a couple. I like Gary from Canadian Tire ads and Wendy Mesley.


Going to the movies tonight to see SULLY. After 15 months of tRump, aka, Gregory Ammas Stillson,  I'm hungry for a real American hero.


The standard of NHL hockey is the stick is used the same way hands are used....hands go up as someone approaches you for a hit, the stick goes up as well.  Cross checking in close quarters is par for the course.  So this reaction by the Capital to Crosby is deemed a "hockey play".

But this does not need to be a hockey play.  If players were assessed strong penalties for stick work, sticks would come down....even in this reactive play to Crosby by the Capital player.  So there is no suspension or expectation of a suspension in today's hockey environment.  The question is whether that standard is the right one.  I grew up playing hockey where cross checking was a penalty.  Now, players wear protective padding on their back because of the frequency of cross checks.

I believe today's standard is inconsistent with the rules of hockey but the NHL obviously thinks otherwise.


If you choose the behaviour, you choose the consequences.


This is a highly marketed, entertainment business first, so Shapiro's cynicism is understandable. Rubes will come, wearing team merchandise, and Rogers will make big money regardless of the baseball played.


I have no interest in tRump's wife's toes or shoes, but do realize that the public has a craving for such trivial info, which is why the press gives it to them. They do the same trivial reporting about the clothes of all FLOTUS. "Someone has to do something about North Korea." What should that be? What words of wisdom can you offer on that, and what superior experience do you have to back it up? Avoiding war is the most responsible thing to do and the most difficult. Provoking nuclear war when it isn't necessary to do so is juvenile and dangerous. Which is your boy doing? ISIS wouldn't be where it is today without an illegal war being forced in the region by Bush/Cheney. What answers do you have for that war, too? What should Obama have done differently? What about the domestic, angry white guy terrorists we have here at home that everyone has ignored and tRump thinks are "fine people?" "When you are a young woman like that, you would do anything the President of the USA wanted." Sure


c my last post.


So you'll collapse a system with a poorly designed healthcare plan for 4% of the population. You seem to think trump thinks healthcare is bad, it's the obamacare setup that's bad. This is trumps best case scenario now when it does collapse, which it will it can't hold its own weight, trump can blame the democrats who should take the blame. If he would've had his own version of obamacare light or a watered down obamacare it would've failed on same principles and the blame then gets pushed to him.


Good one Harry, and Crater Lake in Oregon was caused by a comet!


I hope you don't have kids if you see this woman's actions as acceptable. And I applaud the den for kicking the kid out.  She brought unwanted negative attention upon them.  However, she will, and is already likely, pay the the price for her stupid stunt.


Every society has public holidays, based on various excuses for one, including cultural tradition. These are ours, based on 2000 years of tradition.

In reality, there is little that remains religious about them today. Government-run operations may have a long weekend because unions negotiated those, but mostly life goes on as usual in the rest of society.


First - those social media sites you reference connect the world not just 'Mericans.  Second - you're on the losing end of that battle. Third- the transparency has been for the better, think "friends" that criminals communicate with.  Finally, why the affection?


Oh my.  Let's take a quick look at DT's career stats for a moment...

https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/T/ThomDe03.htm

He's averaged 98 receptions and 1370 yards/yr over the last 5 seasons.


"In one section, the program said then-Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio of Buenos Aires, Argentina, tried to help Fr. Julio Grassi, who was convicted in 2009 to 15 years in prison for abusing boys, by ordering a long investigation meant to exonerate him on appeal."

If true, very, very sad.


The natives and the French both need to get over it and accept the fact that the English won and this is an English country. We waste too much money trying to appease these groups. Everyone here has the right to live as they wish, including the natives but we should stop wasting tax dollars in trying to keep dying cultures in Canada such as the French alive.


It's generally a 90 factor.
Except for police and fire fighters who gets the 85 factor.
They also get the higher cancer rates (fire fighters) and death rates (police and military).
I'm not sure what the ambulance workers get in return for PTSD.
The Mr Beans of the world use the term "operate like a business" to justify a wage slave mentality extended to our public institutions where their human resources are used and discarded in an anti-union "right-to-work" universe.
Where they believe that we live work, not work to live.
An antisocial personality disorder management system.


When I receive an e-mail saying someone has responded to my comment with the link - view the full reply - , when I click on it I am directed to the thread but not to the reply. I have to search through the whole thread both up and down to find the particular conversation.
Disqus took one straight to the comment one was replying to or at least marked it.
Why is this?


She's right.


Can't wait until Hillary gives her acceptance speech.  The fact checkers won't have much work to do because everything she says is true.  Even if it isn't, the spin put on it will make it a blur.  Ha!


Your Js, winners of 5 of their last 6, that streak coming immediately after 1 in which they lost 5 of 6.  So, .500 baseball the last 2 weeks, which, given their injuries, acceptable.

Play a 3-gamer vs. Cin @ home, some assuming the Reds, hey, pushover, much in  the same way Atl was not that long ago.  Cin has a better record than Your Js, not by much mind you, but better.  Not very often a team comes in to play you with a better record, and your regional media considers them pretty much cream puffs, eh?

Cin also has a superior run diff, again not by much, but still superior.

No HRs today.  And we all know from past experience, when Your Js don't hit for power, that's a problem.  They got through it last season cuz of their very good starting pitching, but this year's been different, with 3 starters on the DL right now.

Best guess right now is that Biagini stays in the rotation, and Liriano, when he gets back finds himself the odd man out.  Which is the right move.


Had one of these drones overhead at our condos complex's swimming pool hovering overhead for about 3 minutes, and yes, there were girls laying out working  on their tans...if my teenage daughter were out at that pool...yep, I would shoot it down.


Enormity?  Easily impressed, aren't you?


Sorry it was an M16. Been awhile and there are so many brands and abbreviations for guns, only an ammosexual could keep up with them!  I'm not into guns anymore except for my trusty Llama 45 that holds an extra round over the Colt……. so my boo….sorry.

I  was a federal boarding officer in foreign fisheries and drug interdiction in Alaska for a number of years. I was trained by the Army over a month of shooting and became proficient not only with the M16 but also .45 and a shotgun. Had Shoot Don't Shoot training along with 100's of  boardings on the high seas carrying weapons for my government, the US of A.  Every few month we went out to the range and blinked. I left my guns behind when I was discharged. It was a long time ago, when the US was more peaceful and less armed.


Tech support and field services work 7 days a week, know your facts before you spout untruths, tech support is 24 hours a day.


The original genocide in North America between whites and Natives was the extermination of several of the original white settlements by natives. Seems they didn't have room for a few hundred whites and had to slaughter them all.


I remember some other low risk leaks.


You're totally right about the first throw he made last year.  If Osweiler or Lynch were put in that situation we'd have either taken a sack or gift-wrapped the defense a TD to start the game


"deemed a low risk for repeat offences"

This is bad satire, given the jury decision that failed to recognize his most serious crime as an offence.


Read the background of the court case.   This pipeline was fully approved years ago.  Only 1100 feet remain to complete the project.  Read the court case background, not the biased media.


Yes, it is asinine to dismiss the entire conversation as stupid. These are very real and complex issues that aren't going to be solved by saying people should just get the right training or pick up their boot straps.

What does this say for working parents, or other people with fixed incomes and limited time? How should they acquire the necessary training to compete for a limited number of high-tech jobs? If denied education, their remaining choices are to go on welfare that depends on their unemployed status, or work in low quality jobs (quality having been driven down by the large amount of competition for the remaining jobs). Neither of these is a good option - quite frankly why should anyone want work their hands to the bone in dead-end jobs so the economy can screw them? The capitalist argument frequently forgets it's most potent weapon: incentive.

UBI does not pay people not to work. It supplements income to guarantee security and inject market confidence.


Rosenstein is also a witness in Mueller's investigation, which means he shouldn't be supervising the case. There's a lot of indications that the criminals are running their own investigation.

Not much in the way of "wisdom" if they produce unsafe food products.  Doubt that will result in much cash-flow--except perhaps when they have to settle lawsuits with the people harmed by said unsafe products.

First of all, the headline stating that "Liberals" urge Trudeau to break promise'... is misleading. Five Liberals did.  Not Liberals in general.
Secondly, the promise that the previous election would be the last FPTP  election was clear and unequivocal. It is not a promise that can be dismissed since nothing has changed to justify it.
Finally, the French run-off election system is a positive alternative since it ensures that no party gets elected without a majority. Even if people only get their second choice, they never get the worst choice unless they vote for it freely.
That's democracy.


I need to have a sit down meeting with Representative Thielen. Too many problems with her article to address here.


Look at the Philippines indeed. This is an apt comparison to what we will likely experience here is Trump is elected. This man is a disaster for the reasons the author states.


And in other news, several HUNDRED million other guns, legally owned by responsible owners, injured or killed no one yesterday, or ever. (and that's just in this country).


Spot on!  If I hadn't already made up my mind to vote "YES" on this amendment, this article would have convinced me to do so.  Keep up the good work, CBers!


absolutely love this!!!!!  yea for Vat2 'normal' and real!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Agreed. Joseph Card. Ratzinger with the approval of  then Pope John Paul II wrote and promulgated something quite different.  This contemporary position MUST be repudiated. I see the point made so ably by Dennis Galon and agree with the difficult process of change within this beast.  The repudiation of the contemporary JPII/Ratzinger literalism of Genesis rationalizes and justifies diminution and exclusion of women.  Candy-appealing with cuddly phraseology simply insulates misogyny from confrontation with what it simple is.


See paragraph above bold "The ANC must decide" subheading.


All the government can do is take money from the taxpayers and give it to other people...some are taxpayers;  some are not.  Some are businesses some are not.

The government taketh away and THEN the government giveth.


Yes. I've learned that when John uses the W word to let his anger dissipate.


And actually, to follow up on my question (does anyone remember ANY such opinion about comparable Canadian matters making it past an editor)...

... well, ask yourself a second question, was the Canadian article in question sitting beneath a paraphrased version of today's actual headline, as in:

"Will Liberal Party take long to make Canada less white?"

If that headline above an opinion piece makes you bristle, if that headline seems glaringly offensive, if you are feeling outrage against the words you see in print...

... then ask yourself a third question:

When it comes to opinion pieces, why is the Canadian media so comfortable hurling provocative and pungent spit-balls and molotov cocktails on issues of immigration and race IN AMERICA to provoke stark, uninhibited discussions about race and immigration matters in AMERICA...

... but not comfortable using the same approach with immigration and race matters in Canada?

It is totally bizarre!


Why did the DP print it if? It should know better.


The Sanders (or any candidate) campaign could always hold a rally at Autzen Stadium if they genuinely cared about getting everyone in. Much better narrative, however, to have a site bursting at the seams and have fans shut out to demonstrate he's so loved and popular, better that than photos of a 3/4 empty stadium or half-empty Knight Arena.


and Sagaya and Natural Pantry charge significantly more...


It's a media chill resulting directly from Bill M103.  The government has thrown a brick through their window with a clear warning against "Islamophobia", and they're knuckling under.


Oh, yay! The naked emperor was able to read what he was told to read! All will be better now!


Well, first, a complete one-celled organism is a life, if it is alive.  Biology 101.

And second, you are just being silly.  Any life on Mars, one or multi-celled, will be huge news; and life on other planets is a completely different issue.


Question:  Why are they all  marching?   Answer: Because Hillary lost and we are all sooo upset.... waahhhhh,,,boooo... hooo... and Trump will take away abortion on demand and free birth control.

Question:  But 54% of women voted for Donald Trump. How do you explain that.

Answer:   They are all traitors to the sisterhood!! Hisssss... Hissss...


Reader, I don't know where to begin. just 2 very basic points...1. Al-Qaeda is not synonymous with the people of Afghanistan 2. Khadr was a Canadian , or at least purported to be, conveniently.


As a mature country growth by immigration doesn't make a lot of sense, and not necessary a good thing.


That's always cool to watch.  I wonder why kayakers never try to catch the wave?  Seems like the same principle as a paddle board.


As opposed to the sub-third world taxi service we have now?  Bring it on.


"A person should make enough money in their career of choice to live regardless of what they are doing."
McDonald's is NOT a career for most, its a job.
.
"Basically what you are saying is that there should be a slave class, who work for a pittance just because they cannot afford to go to college"
I got where I am today without college. I couldn't afford college. I got where I am today through ambition, determination and an absolute refusal to give up. I sacrificed countless hours of free-time to learn everything I could about my trade. I'm not saying its easy, its hard but VERY possible.
.
You are arguing for entitlement. The market adjusts for entitlement, its called inflation. I think your position is noble but short sighted and unrealistic.


It is "truly" and make sure you correct that before you put it on your slide. If my "Firm" wanted to engage your "Firm" how would we do that ? And why all the secrecy ?


Oh France, my France; may you endure such turbulent times.


Oh give it a rest, it's not about women. It's about a class of people the public want to see the back of.

There was a similar collective groan in the UK this week when Tony Blair announced he wanted to stick his nose back into things. These people are poison and represent much of what is cancerous about politics.


Why are comments closed on the the current Chinese Realtor investigation article. What  a joke.


USA has 11 million illegal immigrants from Mexico

Trudeau with naive sentimental feel-good touchy feely "compassion"

declares Canada will welcome refugees (also economic migrants?)

Trump says to teary-eyed Bambi Justin "You can have all 11 million"

Just don't call them "illegal", call them "undocumented"
and give them "sanctuary"

Problem solved


It would be Extremely Interesting to peruse the voting records of those 36 "Republicans". Many "Republicans" and More "Democrats" are...neither.
They are Traitors to our country and their voting records will reveal a Globalist agenda.


Where should I complain?

It's not as if the G&M runs weekly stories about jewish immigrants complaining about the food and accommodation in Canada.


The new city hall must have a hair salon AND a barbershop for just these emergency situations.


Finally, a solitary leftist writer gets it. I wonder how she figured it out without venturing out of her neighborhood in Northeast DC or Silver Spring?


And the honourable  Zelenitsky was there to see the bird 90 million years ago? And when last did your carbon dating prove accurate?

Thanks for reiterating and augmenting my answer to Sailman2016's question about why we have to pick a party in the primary election.  Thanks, too, for your 24 years of volunteer service as a precinct election official.


So... he needs help plagiarising?


You can disagree with 90 percent of the party's platform and call yourself a Republican.  Is this a great country, or what?  RINO alert!  He could run as the Democrat that he is deep inside, but in that district he wouldn't stand a chance, so like the deep inner Democrat he is, he lies and declares himself a Republican.  Who does he think he is? John McCain?


Ivan Moore poll had Ulmer ahead of Murkowski by almost 3 percentage points.  Ulmer lost by 15%, an 18% “miss”.  Not a credible source.


So it is all those evil Republicans over at the U of O who are responsible for the ever-increasing tuition and fees!  I was curious about who it was.  The liberal professors sure don't seem to be turning their increased salaries down, though.

I look forward to Ryan and Joanne's letter to the editor when the new sales tax being sponsored by SEIU hits the poor here in Oregon.  It won't even have the exemptions traditional sales taxes have on food, medicine and necessities.


Think about the people who fought for the independence of America. Today, they would be labelled as terrorists.  the patriots did very awful things in the name of "Independence" while trying to overthrow a legitimate government. But now, because they won, they are heroes.


What does the Greenest City Ever - the City of Vancouver do with their green bin compost?

Truck it to Harvest Power in Richmond, where Richmond residents get to smell the stink from processing (over 1200 complaints last year).


No, Jet, the point is that a lot of women, our mothers, daughters, sisters, wives, girlfriends, aunts etc, have been assaulted in rather horrible ways, and sadly, often shame or fear keeps them from coming forward.

Trump is featured here because he has assaulted numerous women, as he himself has admitted to. The fact that you think these nebulous "hit pieces" are somehow worse than repeated sexual assaults tells the sure lie to your comment about not being a Trump supporter.


No way! Racism consistently marked as "uncivil?" Heavens! How shocking!

I do appreciate that you acknowledge that racism is a right-leaning tendency.


The only thing that matters to the chump and his followers is whether or not it was a muslim.


22 million is FAKE. This is part of a 2016 CBO report predicting 2017 enrollment for Obamacare at 15+ million. Actual enrollment is 10+. Not to mention the CBO predicts ~15-17 million will drop voluntarily. Math is hard, but run the numbers.


The argument is not we don't need to do something because the other guy is worse...it's about not needing to institute specific policies that cannot be shown to be effective in addressing the problem from a global perspective while at the same time, imposing a disproportionate local burden on the societies which take those ineffective actions.

Rather than the professor's chocolate bar moral argument, which is flawed simply because stealing always has a victim, irrespective of whether the amount stolen is large or small....a better way to judge the global warming action argument is the 2 trains speeding towards each other on the same track analogy.  If the trains are already so close that both need to apply the full brakes to avert complete disaster , and yet one engineer refuses to do so, there is no moral reason to stop serving lunch in the dining car of the other train....

climate change is a technical global issue, it requires an enforceable co-ordinated technical response


The world is messed up. Nothing new. Is there a way to protect kids anymore?  :(


How many were visible minorities Chris?


I got your point and don't think you need to apologize.


Silly, the whole issue. Why can't another nation post political ads? America has influenced many global elections, and sometimes replaced governments.

For all the men of this age group, well POWER is the motivator.
POWER. They want POWER in their older Years.


areukiddingme: The right and ability to criticize religion is and has been a Western value for a very long time. Those politicians who blithely seek to toss that value overboard lack an understanding of history and in particular seem to be oblivious to the impacts of the Protestant Reformation and the Enlightenment. Some historians believe that the emergence of an ability to challenge all traditional institutions, including religion, was crucial to the advancement of Western civilization over the past few centuries. In other words, it made us what we are. Of course, we should strive to treat all individuals with respect, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't be able to criticize religious ideology or practices merely due to a fear that such criticism might offend somebody. In a free and democratic Western society, no religion is or should be exempted from scrutiny, skepticism or criticism.


CNN is going down!


Not a patch on the Catechism of John Hobson, eh?


Apparently you missed this? "The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe had already passed a tribal resolution asking protesters to leave, and asking for federal aid in closing the camp."


Your comment was all about me, regardless to whom you posted.  It is typically a cowardly way to dismiss someone.

And I know I should be flattered you keep quoting me, although you give no credit.  But instead, I will repeat myself for the umpteenth time - please leave me alone.


I believe its called Independence Day.


We read the headlines and know the truth behind the words. In the USSR people knew the truth was even as Pravda lied openly about how great things were. Headlines proclaiming the success of    Stalin's Five Year Plans to boost wheat production meant there would be shortages and hunger in winter. Same thing here about immigration, M103 or terrorism.


People migrate from low per capita resource countries to higher per capita resource countries.  Britain is massively overpopulated.  It is resource negative in virtually every area you can name - energy, food etc.    This happens in most countries - population exceeds the resource base and the population declines through migration and starvation and lower birth rates.

Get Judge Pryor on the Supreme Court, or even Gorsuch. Great day for America.


Hate to.say good riddance, but I do in this case.  Menelik Watson's injury history is probably the reason why the Raiders let him leave in free agency and why the Broncos were able to pick him up at a bargain price.  If you're an NFL general manager and you're trying to protect your quarterback, you don't build your O-line on the cheap.  When you have salary cap room, you spend extra money on the best offensive linemen.  Menelik's signing is yet another "quick fix" for our O-line that backfired on John Elway.


BS RANDALL HILLARY HAS COME OUT SAYING SHE WILL END COAL MINING!


I take this argument--only those with a stake in society should be allowed to vote--in a different direction. In my science fiction world, only mothers and potential mothers are allowed to vote. Since men don't get pregnant, they have little at stake in the wellbeing of children and thus in the survival of society. I'm being deliberately facetious, but mothers do have greater stake in society (9 months of pregnancy) than do property owners.

Are you aware that most of the goods you use / in our country are transported by rail?


Possibly to protect the identities of double agents in Russia or Cuba. Even as far as protecting family members against reprisals of the said agents.

prohibit the sale of contraceptives.

Just out of curiosity, suppose all the pharmacists in America were to suddenly go wild over traditional Catholicism, play Gregorian Chant in their pharmacies, and show "The Little Flower" every day at sunset.  Suppose they also refused to sell contraceptives.  What constitutional provision would require the pharmacists to sell the pill against their firmly held religious beliefs?  Would it make any difference if, instead of Gregorian Chant, they piped in music out of the Bob Marley Hymnal?


If as you state, funding is necessary for legislation, then how much did the "Dream Act" cost and how much does it continue to cost?  Democrats block as much legislation as their caucus tells them to - they play as many "political games" as anyone!


I would have thought Nixon was out of Purgatory by now....


A fetus is a human being and its right to life trumps the convenience of the mother. That doesn't mean we have to force a 12-year-old to have a child because she was raped by her father, but we do have to think about whether the child should be adopted or murdered. We can make child murder legal but we should face up to what we are doing.


Have you listened to her speak?
I thought JT would be a fantastic speaker (in the vein of that great orator, Obama), until I heard him deliver a few speeches  that might have been less rehearsed, and responses to media questions.
"Uhhh" and "ummm" seemed to be his favourite phrases.

In contrast, Ambrose can deliver polished, coherent, and engaging responses to media questions, and strong speeches even with light preparation.


That's what Caldwell is telling his friends and family


She is correct. 8th grade civics class cannot confuse anyone, who passed 8th grade civics. The written instrument case 1803. Corruption in Government?

If such be the real state of things, this is worse than solemn mockery. To prescribe or to take this oath becomes equally a crime.

"It is also not entirely unworthy of observation that, in declaring what shall be the supreme law of the land, the Constitution itself is first mentioned, and not the laws of the United States generally, but those only which shall be made in pursuance of the Constitution, have that rank.

Thus, the particular phraseology of the Constitution of the United States confirms and strengthens the principle, supposed to be essential to all written Constitutions, that a law repugnant to the Constitution is void, and that courts, as well as other departments, are bound by that instrument.

The rule must be discharged."

25 feet isn't giving them their  space. You are lucky you didn't become  a statistic.


Lovely. In similar ways, my father sometimes visits with me. Whether his presence I feel is 'real'...does not matter. It is a reminder of the gifts that have become part of me.


OK, what's the point?


Joe,
ADN  does ban / monitor the conservative thoughts on this site. It's amazing they believe in the 1st amendment. Only if you believe in what they think...


So you acknowledge what most won't that there were two. Approval is easy or at least the easier part. It's too soon to say what will happen under this government. but the goal is at least two to match the Conservatives. The Conservatives also managed to get two extensions approved and built. We will have to wait and see how the extension in the east is handled.


A "sustainable" draw from the PFER and CBR would be equal to 4-5% of the PF corpus. That equates to $2.2-2.7 billion/year. Phase out the Dividend would plug another $0.65 billion/year. The rest of the budget gap can then be filled by spending cuts and new taxes.


Bad things haven't happened, that's just the point, chance has saved us up to now. We should have learned from those near misses and at least reduced arsenals down to a bare minimum( total elimination would  be impractical, and actually unnecessary ) and done other things like enshrine "no first use",  remove warheads from missiles, and a few others, things that would buy time that currently doesn't exist.
You seem a bit fixated on N. Korea, yet are ok with the larger status quo. Why? And then you setup a strawman scenario where N. Korea commits suicide( nobody is going to just "ignore it") by taking out Hawaii or Seattle. Why is one insanity bad, while the vastly greater insanity is ok? It doesn't compute for me, not at all.


Funny you should say that. I just got a statement and a bill from Kaiser yesterday for my recent foot surgery to correct years of Ironman training, etc. injuries.

The cost of my surgery was $28,800. My bill was for $15.00. Smiling and feeling grateful.


so when they bury him put a dead pig with him so that way he won't have the 72 virgins that they believe they get when they do this horrible act on human life.


During his stay in jail he can be let out supervised with a can of black paint and paint it black day after day with a brush.  Three good coats of paint should do it.  When it is nice and shiny black again and looking new he gets out of jail.  This should teach the ignorant kid how to properly paint.


No, I am not arguing for anarchy. The "constitutional" argument says one generation of people will decide for all future generations. By saying the constitution is invalid I am advocating that people who are alive today be allowed to exercise their right to elect their own leaders and decide their own fate. I am not advocating anarchy (no rules / government), I am advocating self-determination (rules based on what people alive today vote for).


Enough with the snarky bullying comments!  If you have a point to make in response to a posting, why don't you make it?  Instead, you just post a comment that appears to be nothing but an attempt to troll.  Perhaps it is time for the CC to get involved, again?


How 'bout you start with Dickerson vs United States, when your finished with that one, I can give you a bunch more.


Another mindless diatribe out of the Il Duce Trump follower attacking the messenger for revealing truth.


Great job Anchorage Democrats that was a well organized caucus and I really appreciated all the volunteers; folks who stood up to be delegates and the exceptionally positive attitude.


Isn't it fascinating how we all dismiss alcohols roll in this horrible attack?  Time we went after alcohol like we did cigarettes.  The alcohol lobby has done an amazing job of pushing its wares on TV, in every movie, making it a cultural expectation at every social gathering.


Well the Liberals did commit to studying it and vaguely promised to introduce a bill on it


This study based on a sample of 81 niqab wearers indicates they are not being forced to wear it and the majority had no issues showing their faces for security or safety reasons.
http://ccmw.com/women-in-niqab-speak-a-study-of-the-niqab-in-canada/
The legislation should have reflected this.  It would have satisfied most people, including those in Quebec.  There is no need for a woman to stay unveiled longer than necessary.
 To date, there has been no discussion of employment probably because there are so few niqab wearers and most are homemakers.  What's going to happen when some applies for a public facing  job wearing one or what's going happen when someone applies for a job without one and starts wearing one once they get the job?  An employer is supposed to make every reasonable attempt to accommodate religious beliefs.   It's not a problem now but if  the number niqab wearers grows it might become one.


this is a circus.......


Excellent comment.


Why would you say that when Mulcair dragged the party down to it's worse election outcome in years? I can see you saying that if he kept the seats or support, but he failed miserably at it. Maybe in a few years when those that voted for Potato  realize how out to lunch he is, Mulcair will look a lot better.


Russia is a "thug" of a nation that has been run by totalitarians for a long time. From the Czar and his ministers through to Stalin and the Communists. Now it is the "mobster" Putin running the show. I am certain that it is far more likely that Russia "fixes" its own elections rather than having to deal with "outsiders" trying to cause problems. They've been doing it as a "democracy" for some time now. Little Putin is a thug. A Russian thug. And while I am sure there are millions of fine, decent honorable Russians, there are far more who aren't that way. From the wealthiest to the poorest in Russia , it is money that talks. Widespread corruption from the Baltic to the Pacific. Huge country. Nasty bunch.


Step #1: arrest Zuma and his vile accomplices.

It's the law, not an expectation.


The only way to diagnose CTE is to use an autopsy. It is obvious that there are many, many young men being damaged by brain micro trauma.
Your letter is kind of silly. It is saying there is no danger from lung cancer from smoking because kids rarely get lung catastrophic injury. The second is true, but it is not in any way related to the first.
Any parent who cheerfully has his or her kid play gladiator sports like football is either ignorant of the latest studies, or a really bad parent. And don't tell me small sample extrapolation is bad science. It is, in fact great science if it is the only way to get the evidence needed.

Good Luck  Kyle Sloter,,,The Broncos don't deserve you.
Smooth move Elway... (Be-Elzebubba) Your EGO could not take Sloter showing up your draft picks.
Then plug in Stephenson's 2 sacks to sabotage Sloter performance and take him down a notch.
Your EGO will be your downfall.
Why? ...I don't know... Broncos draft efficiency over last 5 years ranks 29th in NFL.
eee-HAAAWW  eeeHAAAWW ! (Donkey cheer)


It sounds like playing whack-a-mole.


Who's in charge here? Ford is gone to the gov so no accountability for supervision or lack of it . Who allowed Self insurance?  We are paying for it with tax credits! Head of DK pacific Contractor is back in town with another construction company


Again, the Globe and Mail has it wrong.

The simple questions to ask yourself are:
Do we want to live in a real democracy? YES or NO.
Do we want to know how political parties can do their work? YES or NO.
Do you accept that political parties are part of our democracy? YES or NO.
Do you accept that our democracy: the operations of the government, the elections we have to elect our governments, the election campaigns political candidates and parties run, need to be financed in a transparent way? YES or NO.

If you say YES to all the above questions, using tax money to finance election campaign should not be a problem for you.

Political parties are not foreign entities, it is people like you and me taking part in the political system. The finance reform is making sure that we can all do so, as candidates or when we want to start political parties. This is a measure of true democracy!


Big money behind Doju.  Lots of engineering firms one firm gave 9000, broken up into 3 individuals donating 3000 donations .   private practice attorneys. Few doctors.


You are absolutely right! It's absolutely none of my business.  And it's not the government's business either.  That's kind of my point.  My opinion is exactly that.  And the same goes for Tim Farnum's opinion as well.  He shouldn't be pushing to regulate something that is opinion driven, and is in all actuality a personal liberty.

On a side note, I can completely understand how my words could be construed as an insult.  I didn't anticipate that actually happening, and I apologize.  Not everything on the internet is targeted directly at you, however.  There are tons of great parents out there, and tons of great kids.  If you and yours fall into that category, then nothing I said was targeted at you, at all.

But in the spirit of being civil, I retract the second paragraph of my statement and will repost my comment below.


Shouldn't that really be Jerky?


Elon Musk sold $66,000,000 worth of shares recently.  He is really disappointed that this decision makes it less likely he can find suckers for $66,000,000 of shares in his Tesla venture next quarter, so he is going to have a tantrum and take his "expert" opinion home in a big sulk.  Follow the money folks.  This was an economic decision for the US that clearly reverses the dopey decision making of the prior administration.  The corporate beneficiaries of this bad decision making are worried that their billionaire lifestyles will be reduced to mere multi-millionaire status.  I guess going forward it will be hard to get more dates with Amber Heard.


Go to Amazon books and search on "ecological economics".  You'll get over 3400 hits (not all precisely in that field, as one would expect from variances in search returns, but a lot).

One of my favorites published over 15 years ago is "Eco-Economy" by Lester Brown. Have a read of that one, then list for me all the conservative politicians, pundits, think-tankers who advocate for those ecologically sound economic ideas. I've yet to encounter a conservative who can see past their brainwashed ideology to even consider such ideas because the idea won't get through their confirmation bias filter, much less have a sound enough grasp of economics to understand the ideas.


bavius,

It's true that doctrinaire free-market capitalism coupled with multilateral free trade & the robotics, communications & IT revolutions (while fostering efficient, effective & growing economies) does foster the widening of wealth & income disparities within countries.

It follows that through our public education, domestic taxation and income redistribution public policies, Canada needs to limit & reverse domestic widening of these disparities.

On the other hand, erecting significant trade barriers only retards domestic economic development & itself would be counterproductive to narrowing domestic disparities.

Surely, the current spectacle within the US & in US/Canada trade relations draws into deep question your assertion that "Trump is the cure. Trump is the Canadian workers best friend." on the issue of international trade.

How did he pass his flight physical and maintain his pilots license if that were the case?


The same to you, Tater.


I just don't understand this Republican Party. They could oust Trump and his cadre of idiots right now, put Pence in as President, and go the next year and a half scandal-free as they push forward with their agenda. Trump's base will be angry, but they'll still vote for anyone with an 'R' after their name, so why all the fear? The longer this goes on, the greater the probability the Dems take both the House and Senate in 2018, so what are they thinking?


"no doubt, be demanding taxpayer subsidies to stay afloat."  This statement is pure ___  , other parts ok but where has the gov't paid a subsidy.  It just wouldn't happen.


Susan  - I think the country is doomed to bankrupcy.  Neither party has the will to change it.  But at least Virginia is well on it's way to having Adam and Steve wedding cakes in every bakery...    Hooray!!!!


Negative it could be political I just don't think of everything politically.  I thought it was Christmas and they weren't fully staffed and somebody screwed the pooch.  You're right the system is definitely screwed people involved in hit and runs getting no jail time people who have murdered out of jail to do it again.  I just think it could be other reasons his pic wasn't immediately up.  They had no pics of the kids they were looking for in palmer at first and four out of five of them are white hell they were only identified by initials.  That's just my thought on it.  I have no agenda just don't see conspiracies in every situation


Lock him up!  lol


Agree with everything you said.  AFC West may end up being the toughest division in football this year.


We should not be spending as if these dollars come from Monreau and Trudeau's personal (and tax-sheltered) trust funds.

Liberals are also using acocunting tricks from Gerald Butts and Katie Telford, who ran Ontario into the ground when they were teaching Wynne these tricks... just read the Auditor General's latest remarks about how Wynne has cooked the books!  Kick the debt/can down the curb so whoever boots her out of office inherits a multi-generational debt sinkhole.  And now at the federal level, too.
 Unbelievable.

For reference, the first goal in the Ontario Geography curriculum is this:

Not much but it may not have looked like a stapler when they threatened the cop.  Perceived threat will get you shot just as quickly as a real threat when dealing with police, they aren't going to wait until they're shot at to confirm the bulge under your coat you're pointing at them is or isn't a gun


Another Wahine with the last name Williams.  There have been great ones.  Sky will be another, love that name.  We should recruit "Williams."


I know I was born in raised in Waiau two lane highway to the Westside as far as Kaena Point.  No traffic, no crime, all clean country and we all knew each other.  What went wrong?  Greed for money, uncontrolled development, military illegally occupies stolen land, no treaty of annexation, genocide, high industrial areas, infrastructure needs improvement, drugs, no respect for native culture scared lands and ocean,  and the list goes on.  These reasons fits perfect for the conference to be held here because they will see what happened to once a beautiful island turn into  concrete jungle with no respect from the leaders on environment and conservation issues.


My daughter is going to Cardinal Carter (TCDSB but I don't think it makes a difference). The majority of the kids in some programs seem to be Asian, so I don't buy the argument about whites. She managed to get in just with her talent and her hard work - long weekends and nights working on her portfolio, with no private lessons. She wakes up at 6:30 every day and spends 1h commuting each way (subway and 2 buses). So you don't need to be wealthy. Teachers, family and friends must recognize potential, encourage, plant some seeds and let the kids choose their way (all we did is register her in a few art camps over the years, take her to the AGO and limit the time spent on gadgets). Schools can provide exposure to the arts and plant the early seeds with little funding. However, we cannot equalize downwards. The talented kids who make it into specialty programs thrive because they are challenged in the right environment. In another setting they would probably lose interest.


Now, who's censoring?  But the haters won't complain.


Once they are here, you can impose some taxes, and if they threaten to leave, so what?  See the letter from "justlife" above, and my additions.  You can withhold medical coverage, limit the ability to work, audit when home values vastly exceed what their reported income covers, shut various tax shelters, and shut the immigrant investor scams.  Deportation in some cases.  Snitch lines with rewards. Note that while this would indeed hit wealthy foreign newcomers the hardest, it would also imply cracking down on the classic "All-Canadian" dodges: (1) paying the kids for being cute; (2) paying the spouse for non-existent work; (3) reporting personal items as business expenses; (4) related party scams - sell at a "loss" to my Uncle Fred.  Enforce tax laws on everyone - don't target any one group, but don't avoid either!
It would also help to raise the GST, getting some of their spending into the tax base with little ability to evade - match that with an increased low-end credit.


Its difficult to understand how somebody voted against your comment


China hands Trump a win on North Korea crisis
    In a matter of a days, tensions with North Korea appear to have calmed down considerably.
    Most of that is thanks to China making a series of positive moves and statements.

This plan is ignoring the best aspects of the site, the views to the east and south from the field and bleachers. They're suggesting that a huge building be placed right in the way of the east view. This will make it feel like you're completely boxed-in when you are on the sports field or in the bleachers. That's totally different from the old Civic Stadium. You might reply that there was a wall in the outfield so how is this different? Well, the wall was probably not as tall as the building will be and it was thin so you still had views beyond. Why not place the building on the North side of the site and parking along Pearl.

Earth to JJP 52 ...the CIA is NOT a credible source for anything


When I started working full time at the age of 24, I was told that it seems silly, but you need to start saving for retirement.   So I got a second job and for the first two years, ten percent of my full time job income went into a 401K and about half of my income from my second job went into a IRA.    My friends were all buying new cars and telling me I was insane "wasting my money" but now nearly 30 years later, I'm so glad I sacrificed and did it.


The 6,000-pound elephant in the room is Mina Morita's lawsuit questioning the legality of Tom Gorak's appointment. Ironic since she is the very one who recruited Gorak to the PUC in the first place.
