The elitists that are killing society come from the poor thinking involved in  trickle down economics.  The resources from our economy have been ever sucked up to the very wealthy.  It is this group of elitists wealthy that form "think tanks" like Cato that are making us again a Feudal Society.  The word elitist as ED and other alt right thinkers use it means that they would rather see a dumbed down society of serf workers rater than an educated society.  Ed seems to believe that propping up Universities and educating more of society is a bad thing for the economic elite.  These are truly elitist ideas that only make society worse. These types of political and  financial mistakes will eventually lead to a societal anarchy that will topple the economic elite.  In the end the Queen lost her head.... Yes it is time to rethink educational financing so that all qualified students get a better deal as they strengthen our society as educated citizens.

Or just the unspoken things like "hey we're gonna have free trade with China, 10's of thousands of new Chinese student visas, way more TFW's frm China and lots more 10 year visas for China"? That kind of lie?

Several years ago I read a book called "The Fine Art of Conversation - How to Start a Conversation, Keep It Going, Build Networking Skills - and Leave a Positive Impression" by  Debra Fine. I found it very useful. I loaned it to a friend who had trouble speaking with his teenage daughter. He found it very useful. I have since recommended this book to several people and now I recommend it to you.


I think people that have been paying even a little bit of attention to things knew Donnie Two Scoops was an awful human being back in the 80s. He represents nearly everything that was awful about that decade.


"All subsidies should end from all countries."
And everyone should love their neighbour, and violence  should end, and we shouldn't be cruel to puppies, blah, blah, blah.
Sorry, but your comment, and Bernier's fatuous warblings belong in the realm of fantasy.
According to the U.S. WTO notification, in 2012 direct payments to farmers under income support programs amounted to US$3.837 billion.
Price supports for the U.S. dairy industry under the Dairy Products Price Support Program and the national dairy market loss payments program, were $403 million in 2012.
The whole world subsidizes its agriculture industries. And to compete, Canada does the same.
Bernier's no-regulations philosophy is analogous to a team that says its wants to play in the NFL but doesn't believe in wearing any protective gear. Purists.
They would end up in hospital pretty quickly, just like Canada's economy would in a world of protected economies.


The best step a parishioner can take toward independence (toward self-direction, toward exemption from arbitrary control; to sever ties with a church) happens when a pastor imposes suffering on the parishioner.

To help you understand where I'm coming from , I've lived in Alaska nearly my whole life . Even though I grew up in Anchorage , I have many friends from all walks of life .That includes native friends. I'm a good listener and have learned a lot from so many. For example the myth that Alaskan natives only take what they need from nature and nothing more has proved wrong .In the past they took limited amounts of game because they didn't have the means to travel far or store food like they do today. When a native tells us on TV that they don't hunt the animals--the animals give themselves up to them--you know it's baloney  I KNOW that most commercial fishermen are from outside . My point was few die from primitive fishing . Look how a group of Bush fishermen refused to follow a river closure and only did so after their boats were taken. Look how native youth kill animals for kicks.  Many villages need to shut down and move to where they can survive . Their ancestors moved as needed .


None of this is about Hillary Clinton. There is no ongoing investigation of her, and the previous investigation of he private server, though very thorough, revealed nothing that merited prosecution. That is, in fact, the end of that story, and your attempted diversion of the discussion is a red herring.

Eugene Robinson is a genius next to you. The main investigation is of the Russian interference in the last election. Comey said that it s a fact, and that it "went all the way to the top", meaning Putin. Trumps connections and transactions with Russia, which we know are many, will be investigated by special counsel Robert Mueller, and neither you knor anyone can tell at this point what they will reveal, so the "crap" is coming from you. At this point we and the world know that Trump lied to us and then lied about lying. That's no surprise. It now seems likely that we will see Trump's books for the first time since 2008. I suspect Trump owes more than he owns, which cont'd....

"Whatever happens, the white Catholic vote has proven to be one that has been most in play during this election. Where they finally land could determine the election." I doubt that is accurate, I rather think it is arrogant to give white Catholics voters (a group that includes the author) such importance in the election. More relevant, I belief that when the cleric looks at Catholics as a voting block, they are hoping to influence politics. The separation of state and church does not only protect our democracy, it also protects our faith - we are allowed to vote in consciousness. Not following the Catholic political agenda (like opposing gay marriage and the legal right to abortion) does not make us less catholic. It makes us more civil, in the literal sense of the word.


How about a plus minus million that died in Iraq, due by and large to US killers intervention since 2003 ?


Well, that's one opinion.


I suspect that would be a waste of time and money.  The ones that are influential are the only ones the monied care about influencing or dancing with.


Education is the key.  Once people are taught that the Catholic Church is the One True Church, the issue of religious freedom will be solved and the Church will be given the freedom it deserves, to do as it wishes, free from the restraints of mere secular law.

How about Republicans pass a bill that lives up to the promise that candidate Trump campaigned on,
Cheaper, better health care for everybody. Remember when he promised that?
That's why people voted for him. He lied then and he's lying now.
Do you think people would have voted for him knowing over 22 million people would lose their health insurance or that their premiums would go up and cover less? I never believed Trump's promises, knew him for the liar he was.
Republicans in Congress need to listen to their people. People want affordable health care and they want it now!


Why would the OIA propose a format that drops the number of OIA participants from nine to five? That's four OIA teams left without the opportunity for postseason play. Shouldn't it be about participation and opportunity  for the kids rather than political football?


JS, creating "gun free zones" doesn't keep innocent citizens safe from the crazies out there!  You can go ahead and say my response is "completely unacceptable", but it isn't going to change the fact that a criminal would choose a gun free theater, church, school, store etc., over one that isn't designated as "gun free".  Just think about it for a moment.

Actually, it quite often sentences addicts to a death sentence, delivered faster than they can remove the syringe and toss it in the playground.

I'm really of mixed emotions on this. On the one hand, distributing fentanyl and carfentanil causes deaths in people who could possibly be cured of their addictions. On the other hand, we cure so few of our addicts and they themselves cause immense suffering, by recruiting others to their lifestyle, thefts and muggings, and by infecting innocent people who get stuck by their carelessly abandoned rigs, as happened to a child on the Springwater bike path in PDX last year.

not sure about that...Toronto drops a lot from the various main cross streets to the lake.

Bloor is much higher than King, St Clair higher than Bloor, Eglinton higher again.

As you look down (towards the lake), the various perspectives on height, etc changes...One of the top floors of an older apartment building at Yonge and Eglinton, appeared to look just about the same height as the top of the BMO building...and this is with binoculars...

What a remarkable ode to the man.


Well, if you look at a chart of US greenhouse gas emissions, they peaked in 2005 and did drop as the economy crashed in 2008, but they also continued their general downward decline as the economy recovered. Government policies (along with citizen initiatives) surely played a role in that.

http://www.earth-policy.org/data_highlights/2013/highlights41


I hate to tell you all, but it is basic economics:  The natural gas located furthers from market (as measured in $/MMBtu) will be brought to market last.  At this point North Slope gas is indeed furthest from markets (Asia) and thus it will not be brought to market now - but probably later.

I realize that is not the answer you want to hear in this "Age of Instant Gratification" - but it is the answer you need to hear before you waste a bunch of money on a project that currently is DOA.


People have been proving you incorrect every time you post in this thread, but you're too dull to recognize it.

Rob in Calgary - do you know that tuition for non-Canadians is about double that of Canadians? That is the real reason that overseas students are given preferential treatment. The government funds post-secondary education based on the number of CANADIAN students enrolled. All post-secondary institutions make their "real" money by charging foreign students significantly more to pursue an education. It makes sense financially for post-secondary institutions to accept more foreign students.  A quick fix? Maintain the foreign tuition at its current price and deduct the amount paid by all foreign students from the government funding.


How were u passed as being civil?

It is NOT a red herring
Do u work on AGW studies with NOAA or other groups? I seriously doubt it.

Right now, even NOAA and a number of AGW experts  are saying INTERNALLY that it is very likely too late. They are ramping up CPU for the models.
Now, u attacked me, while disregarding the facts that I have been aware of this due to an EX-GF, since 1990.
Likewise, in here, I have argued that we need to speed things up and have pointed out that u far lefties are as MUCH to blame as the far right. Perhaps more.
U continue to give China a pass, and even proclaim that they are not only better than America, but improving faster. The fact that their emissions not only continue to grow, BUT that they are building out new unfiltered coal plants FASTER than they put up AE COMBINED, and more than the west can bring down.

And IIRC, u fight against nukes which ones are not  only safe, but would be perfect to replace coal/Nat gas.


Here's the simple answer. Senator Harris is what we call a "Senator" who was attempting to exert her power during a "Senate Hearing."  Devos, as with all individuals brought before a Congressional body, should not be permitted to distract the Congressional body from it's intelligence gathering function by rambling on about something they were not asked to discuss.

Here's a poll for you, from IPSOS, Dec 20th: "Growing Number of Canadians Believe Trudeau Government is More Style than Substance... .Overall, two in three (67%) Canadians ‘agree’ (24% strongly/43% somewhat) that ‘the Trudeau government is more style and substance,..".       I'd bet Liberal boot-lickers on these threads don't like that poll at all.  I suspect the results will look even worse for Trudeau once this un-costed, climate plan hits everyone in the pocket book.

That said,  In BC the Carbon Tax has worked out reasonably well, but it was carefully cost/benefit assessed  at the start.

aa another hate based ignorant childish insult rather than debate as an adult, , figures coming from the nut job left as usual


I just got an overview on how the proposals would affect the Canadian CCPCs I have invested in.
I'm certainly not in as bad a spot as  the income splitters, but the long term affects on keeping money in the company , tax sheltered retained earnings ,  used by the company to fuel  growth , really changes the strength of our balance sheets and the investor picture in CCPCs
I am left wondering where our lending institutions are on this issue?
Theyv'e been pretty quiet ( or I missed it)
 with the bank - My hypothesis is that requests for personal guarantees on loans could become more prevalent , with a consequence of investor money leaving the small biz sector for safer harbours , both  onshore and offshore.
We'll see, I still don't believe they will be this stupid


There are some significant differences in the fiscal views of the CPC candidates.  Bernier wants to cut government by a third.  Others intend to balance the budget in two years or less come h*ll or high water.  But some are more realistic, with very modest  tax cuts or stabilization, supported by attrition or program efficiency reviews rather than major service cuts.  Harper's cuts were also relatively modest.


try calling HPD or state sheriff when you see homeless tents etc etc.  nothing gets done! NOTHING, fricken homeless setting up tents right in front of them guys drinking their coffee.  i seen it with my own eyes, at ala moana park, these park workers and don't do nothing. they just pick up rubbish around these losers.  if all our parks are closed at night, thank how come these bums can sleep in the parks,  because no one is doing their jobs.
round um all up with a homeless team and take drop them off at sand island.  the reason they don't want to go is they don't like listening or following rules/laws. many are druggies who are hiding and love to break the laws and give others a hard time. round um up, all mainland bums, send them back, locals bums send them to sand island. make them work, if they refuse then send to kahoolawe with water and leftover foods from fast food or restaurants.  they remind me of rats!!! yuck, we all work too hard to waste our money on lazy bums.


Throe (daughter of a conservative journalist---sorry)


Not really. This is more along the lines of put in an appearance because that is what is required. Trudeau is correct to be trying to find some common ground because there is little else to do when confronted with the colossal problem that is Trump.

The conservative candidate won the race.  However, I was surprised the liberal candidate didn't do better only getting 25% of the vote.  Mr. Sakamoto is a successful small businessman, well liked as is his entire family.  I guess Justin saying he supported Bombardier and doing little for Alberta, his carbon tax and the record of his father in Alberta were far too much for Mr. Sakamoto to overcome.

This is the first big test for Trump. Should the court order be upheld, it will create chaos for worldwide travel.  The biggest concern is how international airport and Homeland security measures will hold up as people swarm to get out of the old country.  There is no room for failure as there is no excuse for it.  This is a Trump issue of his own making, and whether his decision affecting U.S. security will pass the test.  This will also not bode well for the court lifting the ban if a horrific event occurs.  If all goes well and runs smoothly, the political, judicial, and security systems, will have responded to rapidly changing events, disagreements, a potential crisis, which is indicative of a healthy democracy.

Rush did indeed talk about hurricanes as if it's some big Librul Conspiracy in the way its covered. The man is completely irresponsible and I hope he's sued into poverty if people are hurt/killed because they stayed in their homes because of this disgusting con man.

He also seems to be extremely BUTTHURT that hurricanes are, unfortunately, a very direct and devastating way to show that idiots like Rush are wrong, AGAIN, on something they are engaging in denialism on.

Rush used to be a big denialist on tobacco causing cancer, too. Shocker.

As far as I know, he's moved the goalposts, somewhat, over time, and mostly bleats about second-hand smoke.

But this is all so predictable, since some of the very same snakes that used to work for Big Tobacco, lying to the public and trying to obscure the truth, slithered on over to Big Fossil to do the same thing all over again...

Ever notice how Gov Ige's thrity years plus in the legislature, amounts to nothing much but being a bench warmer? I would have figured in 30+ years in the legislature that the State of Hawaii would be much better off and more prosperous than it currently is;what with democratic claims of supporting education in the islands, claims of solving homeless issues and more, with nothing to show, but lip service for our votes!  Hawaii's educational system under the democratic party mono-rule has been camping the bottoms of the basement with very little improvement; teachers have also been languishing under the same system with low retentiton rates and lackluster wages.  The only things that seem to be going up are our utility bills, the costs of living in our state and taxes!  Just imagine the effects if Hawaii actually had a multiparty political system, instead of a monopolized one as it has had for the longest time, maybe we could actually save a buck or two under a different system!

The only way LNG projects can go ahead in BC in today's energy market is if the production and processing is heavily subsidized.  That means, of course, that BC taxpayers will be paying, big time.

I expect royalties will be cut to the bone and beyond, which will also raise hackles from other LNG producers in the US.  I also expect that Christy will refuse to enforce expensive environmental provisions, such as sunset cleanups.  Again, taxpayers will foot the bill.

If a measure "is of county concern" or not is already being made. It happens after the election, after hundreds, thousands, or even millions of dollars are spent on the campaign. Courts also don't simply say something is okay just because the measure made it through elections. It has happened in recent history in Josephine County! It's not even a matter of people being able to make changes in the law... certain things should just be taken up at the state level. Giving commissioners the right to sort out issues that truly can be changed at the county level will save both sides of every issue valuable amounts of time, money, and resources. This isn't a left or right sided issue, it's whether we are going to allow appointed individuals to do their job and make our communities stronger by expediting the certain future of many measures.


When does life begin?  Conception.  When does it end?   Abortion stops a beating heart.  Abortion kills.    Abortion is an elective procedure performed on women,  with their consent,  for the sole purpose of the taking of the life of another.  Abortion is an execution.  The poor soul is executed and does not receive a death certificate.  Abortion creates a society of people who are indifferent, desensitized, and consider life expendable and worthless.


Except the Donald administration did not end the program.  He punted. Congress has 3 months to fix it or is it 6 months, no matter a piece of cake for a congress which has been so good at accomplishments and getting things done.  Just look at how well they fixed Obamacare.    lol

There is no crime of collusion.  That's simply made up.  Russia is not an enemy.  We have diplomatic relations with Russia.  The United States government did real business with Russia through Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.  The Russian government GAVE money to the Clinton Foundation subsequently.  For ME, that is the corruption that led me to vote for Donald Trump.   I think that I am not alone in my continued belief that the Clinton corruption was simply too much.

That's certainly a base way of looking at it however humans have generally, present company excepted perhaps, evolved beyond such base imperatives which is why we are now the dominant species. To simply say that "survival of the fittest" is the only way to deal with human issues is to ignore every accomplishment that is a result of people trying to make a better world and to help others.

The lies continue. Another Trump who the FAKE NEWS claims is engaged in shady dealings and blatant lies.  And now he's being forced to hire a lawyer who represents organized crime gangsters - that demeans the great Trump name. The next thing you know he'll be cutting business deals with cell mates with romantic intentions.

How can we Make America Great Again if we unfairly force our best and brightest to be prosecuted under the same laws that criminals violate?  It's simply not right.  We should be showing proper respect and obedience.


17 agencies point toward a Russian involvement in USA affairs. Trump et al say its fake.

The CIA would lie even if the truth would serve them better. But Trump ONLY knows lies and disdains educating himself. He says he is "smart". He knows more than the generals.

Fair share? You do realize that the top 10% of income earners pay over 50% of the taxes, while using less than 10% of government services.

So let's tax to death the geese who lay the golden eggs (ie. pay the bulk of the taxes, create  the private sector jobs, etc.). Who needs doctors, engineers, scientists, entrepreneurs, etc.

Why should a doctor make more than a postal clerk anyway? It's not fair.

We should all have government jobs - the kind where we don't have to really work to get good wages, superior benefits and a great pension.

So let's crush the "rich" professional class and the private sector. We'll use their money to create jobs - good government bureaucrat jobs.

And when the cost of the bloated public sector and debt cause the economy to collapse, and  the private sector can no longer create jobs and pay taxes, and we can't find a family doctor, etc.

Then we'll .....

Excellent article from Ms Henein, as usual.


Hopefully the "climate plan" will be rejected by the Commons since it is merely a hoax devised by those that have a direct interest in such absurd claim that has no support in pure science. Humans cannot affect climate since they are insignificant animals with absurd pretentions no other animal ever had .


OMG! I just spewed my coffee! Hilarious, James! Well done.


Government-run healthcare.  No compassion.  No accountability.  Civil service protection.  What more can you say.


no, merely stupid


I don't think anyone relishes the thought of being asked or knowing that another traveler is being asked about religious affiliation - likely not often happening but I think it is naive to believe that it is not happening more often to those who dress differently or whose skin is not white. Witness Muhammad Ali's son, and he is a US citizen. Or the student from Montreal with his team.   So I would expect that the numbers of those trying to cross will continue to go down and that the rejection rate will follow.


Sorry that obviously went waaaay over your head, willfully ignorant is not a slur.  Please understand willfull.  As for your other stereotypes, you wrote them not me and you're so far off the mark, keep chasing your tail.


I wish the voters *would* remember. We've been here since 1994 and haven't seen the voters remember much at all. Same people with the same philosophies keep getting elected.


In 1971, the International Synod in Rome published "Justitia in mundo".  It states "action on behalf of justice and participation in he transformation of the world fully appear to us as a constitutive dimension of the preaching of the Gospel.  For the first time, the church stated that IT had a need to bear witness to justice in its own life if its call for justice in he world is to be credible.

and how would lovely architect  Melania  know if Trump PUNCHES back 10 times harder ?

did she experienced it herself....what a disgrace she is to USA


A completely useless ban that does nothing but stir up controversy.  That seems to be Trump's hallmark: Do nothing that advances society, blame others for the storm of disapproval.  What a clown show.


Is it a coincidence that Felix very recently resigned as Finance Chair of the Hawaii Republican Party??  Fritz Rohlfing made this announcement at the most recent state committee meeting.  Hmmmm.....


The HPV vaccine is garbage ... anyone giving it to their child should be thrown in jail for abuse.


Bill:  The statues in question are "public property" and the message they convey is a public message representing the sentiments of the jurisdiction owning and controlling them.  That jurisdiction has the authority to determine the message they convey and, conversely, the message they don't convey.  Were these statues private property erected on private ground, it would be an entirely different issue.  If an individual or group should wish to purchase, for example, the Robert E. Lee statute in Charlotteville, and move it to private property, I would support the action as an expression of freedom of speech.  I would oppose the message, but support the right to express it.

I would venture to say that Trudeau told Vance to march - more evidence that our military, as with most everything else in this country, is finished as a useful entity.


(My question) "Do you know why they kneeling? I keep hearing new explanations from them...do they know why? Cool is good. Cool also can make one unemployable it appears..."

(Answer?) "Do you know why you believe what you believe? Explain it to us, so we can vet it" ~ Amber Collins ~

All I can say in response is, I am really sorry Amber. I would never wish any ailment such as that on anyone.


What the heck does that mean?    And if you're looking at results, not just appearances, athlete's living in million dollar homes and purchasing the teams that once employed them, hardly looks like it has fallen behind the average American business in racial equity.

I have no doubt you have sincere antipathy for racism Gary.    That may bias your view of  people or events that hint at race.


It's a god damn tree branch. That’s worth assaulting someone over?


If the two "developers" says it`s such a good deal for the state for a measly thirty seven million, why don`t they put it on the market and see what offers come in?  We all know why they won`t be doing that...don`t we...


No doubt.  They tried to lock up my neighbor for resisting arrest.  Which he did not do. He went along peacefully.  I had it all on video and took it to his lawyer and the sheriff (Tom Turner).  He was out by nightfall.  Without the cameras who knows?  He is a disabled veteran.  He didn't even do the crime he was being arrested for in the first place.  That was dismissed as well.  He has no money to spend on lawyers.  The cards are stacked against honest citizens when there are really some bad police.  Good police (many in my family and friends as well) don't like the bad apples.  It makes them look bad.   Bad police insult everyone and makes the streets more dangerous for the good police.   Too bad the Union doesn't stick up for the good cops like it does the bad ones.


He's so far out there, I'm not going to the Chris Christie comparison....but it makes sense to close a facility that is paying such high rates per person.  Why did they not start with a smaller, less expensive facility with options to add on?  I think the REAL problem is the construction companies/developers seem to get lots of government contracts at the taxpayers' expense. For examples, if the city of Eugene just bought the EWEB building from the beginning and retrofitted it, the costs would have been millions of dollars less, or if they just retrofitted the current (now demolished) city hall for earthquake protection, that also would have saved US millions of dollars.  It's so easy to spend other peoples' (tax payers) money.  This has been an on-going issue for decades in Eugene and Lane County.


wacha gonna do?
she has made up her mind 3 hots and a cot outweigh her ego and self-esteem
a simple decision of mind over matter.........she don't mind cause you don't matter


I don't know about the $50 per day part but pretty much any charity or volunteer organization counts on large numbers of usually trained part-time workers showing up to get the job done.  It is why it is referred to as being a volunteer position.

The other part of the equation missing is that unions depend on their membership to exist or more specifically on the union dues to exist.  I am willing to bet that if the volunteer departments were kicking in dues this would be a non-issue.


Nobody has claimed that the system was 100% abusive, 100% of the time.

That's not the point. The point is that 10's of thousands of children were ripped from their families based purely on racist and religious dogma, with massive damage to their entire culture, to say nothing of the premature and gruesome deaths of some 6000 poor souls.

A posture of atonement is appropriate for our white culture, not cheerleading the abusive system as Beyak attempted to do. She certainly has the right to say those things, but even an unelected person has some accountability... don't they?


Actually, as Jade corrected, they were "fine" people according to Mr. Trump.  I will contend, however, that just as "good" people don't march for white supremacy, "fine" people don't either.  BTW: I didn't "make that up".........Donald J. Trump did.   Gary Crum


Wrong, gonegolfin.  The potus suggesting he might fire sessions if he doesn't do what he wants is akin to forcing an investigation.  What else would you call it but "arm - twisting"?


Good luck coming up with a new agreement, got to deal with the HGEA first.


People were warned but instead voted for endless promises and dreams of a utopia.

Tough cuts will need to be made, going to sting a bit too however at this point, it is all necessary.

No more taxes, cut spending.


What "bait"? I have asked you - three times now - to explain your statement that Pope Francis's seminarians (when he was Bergoglio, in Argentina) called him by the nickname 'la comadreja'?
And three times you have refused to answer. Why should this be? Unless you have no answer to give. No substantiation to supply. Another made-up story. To discredit the Pope.

Yes, you threatened 'a board in my face', or perhaps the words were along the lines of whether I'd like a board in my face. It meant nothing to me. It sounded aggressive, unpleasant. But yet again you refuse to explain what you meant by it. Noted.
Here were your words. I've found them:- "I can explain "at least two viewpoints". Would like the polite version or the board in the face version you seem to ask for?"

As for your final paragraph, you seem to be losing your composure. For myself, I am not at all upset.


Don't know of course, just speculating. I think the two key factors are:

1. No top notch replacement available
2. Oregon (probably) will not be losing any of its current recruits to MLB.


No.  Just no.

People seem to forget that these properties are homes to many families.  This would have a significant negative impact on our rental market.  Real property taxes would double (or more) for rental properties on Oahu.

Here are the rates per SB686:

     Under $500,000               $3.50
     $500,000 under $750,000      $4.50
     $750,000 under $1,000,000    $5.50
     $1,000,000 under $2,000,000  $6.50
     $2,000,000 and over                $7.50


Ah, that's the timing: during the trial of the most corrupt political party in Ontario history.

Brown obviously had legal counsel. Now, the other obvious timing is the conclusion of the actual trial - possibly near the 2018 election ??

It's all about power - just read the emails !!!


Trying to equate racial discrimination with transgenders is a weak argument.  Public toilets since the beginning have been based on either being a male or female sexually, not on what one claims to be or wishes they were.  If nothing else it is common sense and most parents do not want young children exposed to the transgender or opposite sex bathroom experience.   Public toilets are available based on the physical sex of each individual, or in some cases facilities with limited access that have locks on the doors.   Why is this not perfectly acceptable? What of the rights of millions of people whose religious or personal beliefs reject the transgender life as sinful or immoral? Why insist everyone using what ever toilet that he or she wishes to use other than to force an issue that should be obvious in it's solution.


Which once again proves that Radir thinks the entirety of the Constitution is the second half of the 2nd Amendment.

This does not seem to be the right country for you. There are nations out there that perform summary executions as you seem to desire.


Not everything needs to be a speculative commodity.
The most hard nosed Banksters brought in regulations in 1934 to create a level playing field and make sure that speculators directly felt the pain of their mistakes. Not be able to bundle subprime mortgages that they issued and market them off as A+ grade investments, as happened in 2008.
Responsible governments keep a tight lid on housing affordability.
Just try buying multiple houses in China. Good luck with that process.


Like China and India were really going to abide by the non binding agreement. They were just going to let the USA commit economic suicide, then say, "Oh, that's okay, we were just joking".


That's on his agenda after golf today.


Really, TomZ?  That makes you an expert on climate change?  Epic fail.


A seven-fold increase in tanker traffic?  Perhaps true in the 25km transit of Burrard Inlet where the Kinder Morgan terminal is located.  They'll ship 35 vessels per month, up from 5; seven-fold over 25 km.   But compared to overall tanker traffic in and out of Juan de Fuca strait the increase is almost inconsequential.  At present there are 13,000 ocean going vessel transits per year.  1,100 of those are tankers with the vast majority going to Washington State refineries with Alaskan oil, (oil that was first pumped across that state by pipeline.)  Kinder Morgan expansion will add one sailing per day.

It is this 2.77% increase in marine traffic that protesters claim will end the native way of life, (Chief Stewart Phillip,) this insignificant increase that the eco-nuts tell us will lead to the extinction of the southern resident orcas.  This small increase will lead to marine traffic congestion, and so collisions and spills.

They are not being truthful or realistic.


Speak of the devil. I just ran stats for Columbine Knolls neighborhood in Littleton and found sold prices leveled off this summer.  From Dec 2016 to April 2017 median sold prices were $470K. and from April this year to today median sold prices were $465K.  The sky is not falling yet!  Median days on market is 5! Five days before getting a contract! Remember when agents had to wait 90 days before buying a new SUV?  I hear you chuckling.


If WikiLeaks is accurate (A pretty good track record so far---Snowden and Podesta come to mind) and
 “The archive appears to have been circulated among former U.S. government hackers and contractors in an unauthorized manner, one of whom has provided WikiLeaks with portions of the archive" and it is widespread inside the clandestine agencies of the US government and friendly foreign governments, does that raise at least the possibility that Trump was 'wiretapped' not by Obama or the official government NSA, CIA, FBI, but by someone else with access to all this stuff?

"WikiLeaks has a long track record of releasing top secret government documents, and experts who sifted through the material said it appeared legitimate."

If WikiLeaks got it, why couldn't other people have done the same and actually used it?

"U.S. government employees, including President Donald Trump, use many of the same products and internet services purportedly compromised by the tools."


I do hope Trump allows NK to get a nuke war going and NK
really can miss a mark. Then Russia can send a few that fall short.
Start the war Mr. Trump, Time to clean house.


Why can't UAA ever produce UAF quality teams ?  Last night UAA looked pathetic . It was like boys playing against men. You can't change a zebra's stripes . There is little hope for this season . It will be the same old , same old. The only difference is this team is done from the beginning.  One goal in two games ? Are you kidding me ? Credit does have to be given for their ability to deliver power plays to the opposing team.  And easy scoring chances . They gave the game away. It's nice to see more fans turn out to support the Woofs . Even though at times the crowd looked more like a scene out of the 1970's TV show Romper Room or a day care center run amok . If the Seawoof players showed even half the passion those thousands of kids in the stands showed , UAA could have made half a game of it. Instead they chose to play selfishly , putting themselves against playing for the team. UAA is who we thought they were---the latest edition of another losing team and season. Fire Matt Thomas .


She has the same eyebrows as the clown from 'It'.


Putin already starting to prop up his own defense against Trump association(s). aka, "I never met trump."


Couple of things here, respectfully, FrankPi .......

How do you know his Iranian and Pakistani friends are not Canadian? They may have been born here, or have become Canadians, and still have names difficult for some to pronounce. Also, assimilation is not a prerequisite for immigration to Canada. Observation of our laws, yes. Assimilation? Not necessarily and not obligatory. We call than multiculturalism.


Crickets awfully quiet these days and for good reason.


"so obviously its not religion thats the problem".   Definition of naive.  I know you would like to think that but this is not only about the terrorist attacks, it is about culture.  Their religion does not like our culture.  They do not like gays, they believe women should be subservient.  Pew polls suggest that while a small minority believes in the violence (still a whoopingly high number in absolute terms), they do believe cartoonists should be killed if they portray mohammed.  And they also believe in Sharia law.  Overtime you see a muslim leader or Imam get questioned they say "Islam" is a religion of peace, but push them on Sharia, women and gays and its all double speak and changing the subject.  Plus, where are they when these things happen?  I rarely see any news stories of large swaths of muslim sincerely renouncing these atrocities nor do I see them doing something about it day to day. You would think the left leaning media will be all over those types of stories.


Yeah, there's no way that could have any unintended consequences.


It's past time to make cuts like this. Reduced mail rates for the Bush should be ended as well . It's totally wrong for taxpayers to pay for people to live in isolated area's that have no means to support themselves . Many of these locations should become ghost towns , as did locations in the old west.  Many of these villages have no hope for the future, have high unemployment , along with no police protection and rape and incest numbers off the charts. It's really sad parents force their kids to grow up there.  If these people want to live under third world conditions---let them pay their own way and stop expecting the feds and state to support they're way of life. In the past natives moved to area's that supported their families. Today's natives want to stay put even though there is no way to support themselves. It's time to end the handouts . Let those who choose to live off the grid fend for themselves. We can no longer afford to carry them. We must stop enabling poor choices.


In this "post truth" age of Trump one wonders whether anyone is capable of honesty any more.  Initial reports on Hernandez' death said "no suicide note," now there are three.  His door was reportedly wedged, from the inside, and the guard had to force it open.  But one wonders whether this can be believed as well.
All in all, a truly sad ending to a tragic story of a wasted life.  Almost inevitable, but would have been better, certainly for his family, if the ending had been cleaner.


The only ones who should be concerned about voter fraud, are those who practice voter fraud. The Obama administration wanted to Nationalize all election and was turned down in West Virginia and Wisconsin.

Mary, there are NO cuts in the health bill, just a reduction in the rate of growth. Your posting is FAKE NEWS.


Attaching the word "science" to the vast majority of output of transgender, critical race theory and feminism is an insult to real scientists.  These are at best justifications for utopian ideologies.  All these departments are not seeking truth. Their starting points are ideological points and their rationale for existence is to support them.  It is not science, it is a religious cult.  They would not last a month with their ideologies served as a political program for election campaigns. Instead they infiltrated academia and now sheltered by public money and prestige of "scholarship" they are trying to  impose their false ideas through back doors.


Sorry, don't get the references and how they relate to each other....are you the guy who put the article on the game?


Trump's actions will pummel the Peso, making Mexico an even more attractive destination for low cost manufacturers selling to the Global market.

His actions will also force an economically weakened Mexico to court greater investment from China.

I get what he's trying to do, not so easy to execute.


About being "absurdly whitewashed."  Well, if it's a problem for anybody other than reviewers and the  finger-pointing outraged, people won't pay to see the flick. When enough die at the box-office, then whitewashing will stop.  If not...it won't.

Did Brits scream outrage at misappropriation because a Yank star (Gregory Peck) found his way into British-in-Burma war movie and was passed off as a RCAF officer to explain his lack of British accent (1954; "The Purple Plain")?  Did Canadians scream outrage when Yank star Cliff Robertson, played A Canadian C.O., did Americans scream when Brit Michael Rennie played a US C.O. (1968: "The Devil's Brigade")?  Did the Japanese complain when the Seven Samuri became Magnificent Seven? Did Mexican government demand an apology when Warners created Sleepy Gonzales? Did Canadians rise up at decades worth of American "Mountie" movies and TV shows?  No Screams.  Just a few chuckles and sneers.

All this stuff only matters to a few.


The President of the US is like the nasty child we all despised in grade school...a bully, think skinned, low EQ, and in his case IQ, and I truly suspect he has mental problems.....he has disgraced the US and will continue to do so....it only tells me that almost one half of the VOTING population of the US are just plain ignorant.


"What will happen when oil revenue drops to a point where the spending appetites of the Legislature are not satisfied? Then I predict there will be strong attacks on the Permanent Fund." Elmer Rasmusson


I agree with the esteemed writer -- even worse than the horrific murder of 22 innocents is the risk that it might have a chilling effect on Britain's acceptance of mass immigration.


How about that: five wins in a row; a little bit of quality speedy  and battle; some developing skills; a good work ethic; and finally someone who knows how to develop a serious team mechanism.  Notwithstanding the retro-stats guy , and all the possession foolishness from Mirtle, if these guys work together they just might (a big might) be  able to keep this little run up. Meanwhile,  these guy are playing very smart hockey, that isn't too bad on the eyes either.  Get rid of Bozak and Gardiner and add a few more constructive pieces and you've got a serious shot at something!


"Blackmon had 203 hits, had scored 134 runs and racked up 373 total bases entering Monday’s game. The last center fielder to match those numbers? Yankees Hall of Famer Joe DiMaggio, in 1937."

I love Charlie Blackmon. But if only he had had one of those hits last night....He did put the wood to that ball (in the ninth) but the Marlins first baseman made a great play.

I'm sure they exist, but if stats emphasizing batting performance in clutch situations were to be emphasized, I'll bet the Rockies problems would be clearly illuminated. Of course, one big stat is RISP (runners in Scoring position. What about a similar statistic that also factors in the run differential at the time the AB and also perhaps, when in the game that it happens. That is ninth inning carried more weight than first.


I lost the plot? May I remind you that this thread and topic began with your comment :"Seems to me that those protesting so vehemently seem to have an issue reconciling their own faith with science and reality."  And since this article raised the issue of "modern gender theory" I  opted to use this as an example to expose the hypocrisy of those claiming to be compassionate on this issue while refusing to open their own narrow minds to finding a cause and cure, and accusing those who state the obvious of being hateful, having narrow minds and view on sexuality somehow. Unbelievable.


Woo Hoo!!!
We finally get a Saturday afternoon game !!!!!!


Yeah, in addition to loss of good/earned time for multiple Class II (2) (20) violations of the Colorado Dept. of Corrections Code of Penal Discipline.  Bad ink/bad judgement/bad actor.  He's right where he belongs.


Thus the SARB has little influence on the external value of the Rand. The repo rate as set by the SARB also, in my understanding, has little influence on the "carry trade" that SA relies so heavily on to finance the twin deficits. That is influenced more by bond rates and private lending, where the rates are determined by the perceived risk.

In protecting the internal buying power of the rand, i.e. controlling inflation, the SARB's inflation targeting has little effect. Due to the monopolistic nature of the SA economy (specifically in the government sector and soe's)  inflation is not really driven by demand, but by cost. No government agency like local government entities, water boards, ACSA, Transnet (goods transport and harbour fees), and especially Eskom have kept their increases anywhere near inflation. This increased costs for industry and forced increases in prices, even when demand did not justify them. The repo rate had no effect here on these prices. Cont..


Not sure if it says anywhere in your travel documents, that the Canadian people are on the hook to rescue you while you vacation.  You go to a location, that is in full hurricane season.  You then expect al a cart rescues.  Ok then, I want this extended to medical care, while I vacation.  You get a flight home for taking a high risk....I want medical attention while I take a low risk!


I am adamantly against bike boxes and 'special green lights' for bicyclists.  In the interest of fairness, they can wait in line like the everyone else.  Sharing the road means sharing congestion, not cutting the line.  What makes bicyclists think they're deserving of special privileges on a shared road?


Continuing....

Research costs overwhelmed most of the programs cost. Even the need for a parent at home for BOTH test and control groups was something that is unique to this study but insured a good record of the students and their families.

But these costs are for BOTH test and control groups, so are important to the validity of the study. The only difference between test and control group is preschool experience.

Keolu lies when he tries to compare the test group to a standard preschool. There is NOT scientific justification in the comparison - except that he's probably thinking like a lawyer by saying anything in his comment to justify his opinion.


And - to clarify (and be less harsh),....most of the people in the AHA think they are doing the right thing.   They are part of a bad feedback loop and don't have experience of a different way of doing things.


And who is going to benefit the most? The rich, naturally.

Trump Chumps are trying to " Trumpsplain" that these are good cuts. Hilarious.

You can't fix stupid.


Fake News, MOST, MOST City employees are now 401K style, think that was over ten years ago, how many have retired and been hired in a decade? The Majority of AFD is now Tier IV not defined benefit as you describe.


100 years wasn't needed to receive Trent. The anathemas, the catechism, the canons... they're all pretty clear. It might have taken 100 years for all of the writings to disseminate through Europe without modern technology. But it didn't take 100 years to figure out, develop, and ultimately grasp. That's a canard used to cover up the fact that Vatican II is an unmitigated disaster of a Council.


It has to do with Tyranny of the Majority.  It's not acceptable for the majority to infringe on the rights of the minority or an individual.  If it were, we could hold referendums on all kinds of ridiculous things.  As soon as it appears someone's rights have been infringed upon, whether it is by a tyrannical monarch or a majority vote, it becomes a constitutional issue.  Hence a constitutional lawyer.

For instance, we could hold a referendum to:

1) Take your house away and give you nothing in return.
2) Throw you in prison.
3) Deport your entire family to North Korea, except for your dog.
4) Let Justin Trudeau adopt your dog and rename him Justin Jr.

If we achieved a majority, then we could just point at the referendum and strip you of all freedom.

As silly as these things are, the constitution is what protects a tyrannical majority from infringing on the rights of the minority.

I am not saying this is anything more than NIMBY, but if it is, then we have a problem.  Make sense?


Obamacare was based on the 1930's Nazi Health Program, it is an affront to freedom, it is theft and it was pushed thru against the will of the American people. It was passed based on a plethora of lies and has been propped up by even more lies. It will go 1 way or the other, repeal or collapse. Your argument doesn't hold water otherwise slavery would still be the law of the land.


It's down from last year's rate of 43%.

"Because more students in Minnesota take the ACT than the SAT, what Minnesota's high average SAT score likely means is that only the most prepared, ambitious high schoolers take the SAT. These students also tend to score higher."

I would suggest that Mr Butts like Ms Wynne are destined to become Senators within the next 12-18 months.


Ms. Elkins, I would encourage you to not take Mr. Struck's comments at face value. As outlined in my comment, please visit the MICA website, read about the project and see the extensive answers to many questions. Email us with additional questions. The City also has a FAQ on its website. Thanks for your consideration.


Oops. Just saw your post two paragraphs down. Winchester Park. Got it.


So nobody posting about the wages and condition issue?


Chiefs and natives have many forked tongues amongst themselves too.


It took me about 30 seconds on the internet to find numerous 1 bedroom apartments for less than $1600 a month in Juneau. If a number of legislators rented a house, it would be even cheaper. our legislators make $16,000 a month in compensation and then get per diem ON TOP of it. There is absolutely no reasonable argument that can be made which says our legislators get paid too little. This may not be the perfect time to revamp the per diem policy (a few decades ago would have been better) but it is a step that is critical to restoring any trust whatsoever in our body politic.


Minorities are well represented in this murder.


Why, Paul? I have yet to hear a reason that makes any sense to send them "back" when, in reality, there is no "back" for these people. Oh, they are here illegally? Well, that's because of very bad law that should be fixed. They did not come here by choice. They were brought here as young children. They grew up here, went to school here, have jobs or serve in the military here. To say they are criminals because of their parents actions is a throwback to other bad laws that were changed centuries ago, such as throwing children in prison for their father's crimes or debt. To send them "back" to a country they don't know and where they have no life just because you don't want "those" people here is simply evil racism.


Little guy with the heart of a lion.


I have a fix place a meter on flowing oil and gas Alaska gets a minimum of 25%fair market value on all extracted oil and gas. No credits at all. If the. Ungrateful oil companies don't like it they can leave.  We hear and read about all they have done for the state but not so much as a thank you from them or their investors for being allowed the opportunity to make billions from us, the way they talk you would think they were the church giving all they had and the shirt off their backs, but in reality they are for profit companies who have made 10s of billions of dollars off our oil and done so with out fear of being shot by warlords, or the country seizing operations. Send the ungrateful bstrds packing the price will go back up and their will be companies who are happy to make billions off us who say thank you not F.U.  give us more.
Or better yet a constitutional convention to allow state run oil and just cut that middle man out  Alaska hire first good paying jobs less lower 48 accent


Using your logic, I assume that you would agree that the 2nd Amendment should be limited to the right to bear what were considered arms at the time of the Constitution, single shot muskets, crossbows, swords, etc. but not pistols that can fire more than one shot, and automatic weapons like the AR-15?

If the intent was to include all weapons that could be carried then it should be legal to own RPGs, grenades, and suitcase bombs.


Yes ... it'll pain them to not get the moonroof on the Lear! LOL...


In almost every thread I've read the entire election year, I was being told how "Republicans" were the "Dangerous" ones.
   And here we have Republicans getting ready to play a "Charity" game to raise money for a certain Cause, when a Sorry No Good POS Left Wing Bernie Boy Socialist tried to gun them down and was successful on 3 of them.
   Since 2008 Obama has been doing his Dead Level best at dividing this Country up and way too many Idiots have bought into it. It's time this Country has the wool taken off of their Eyes and see the Truth standing before them.
    Socialism Is Not Good for America. In fact, it's VERY Dangerous.


The snowflakes are upset and hiding in their safe spaces.


In other words, you are against traditional America!


A fool and their money are soon parted, and I'm no fool. Budget, live within your means, grow to enjoy things that don't cost much (try a hike in nature for instance). Best book I ever read was the millionaire next door, all about spending wisely(like ensuring your kids have an education that leads to a career).


This is unbelievable. The rest of the world moves on and we can't make a decision on anything. Lets beat this to death for another few years until it goes away. In the meantime we will take a bunch of taxpayer money to build "infrastructure"!!!


All that praying has shown to be effective in stopping violence around the world. Certainly no terrorist incidents in the USA; nor is there any more violent weather that kills so many and destroys so many other lives. Praying!!! Yep, that solves everything. If we can do enough then nobody will be subjected to violence ever again ... of course this doesn't include all the priests and other religious professionals who abuse and rape the children under their care. Cos that's just part of God's plan right?

Buy a clue god-nutter. Your beliefs are mythical. There is no magic man in the sky looking out for you and continuing to believe that nonsense only keeps people from taking responsibility for their own lives.  Nice freaking excuse ... god/satan made me do it!!


Just imagine! If the Israelis hadn't ripped out all those Palestinian olive trees we could be eating delicious untainted Palestinian olive oil!


The article did not mention that Bart is also on a Eugene Community League co-ed softball team--The Woods--that has won the Community League Championship a record 9 times!


His mics are tremendous. So very tremendous. Believe me.


Well, what do you know, the Globe published something of value for a change.


Sorry - your reply wasn't up when I wrote my response. Right now I think I can see your point. But I am still concerned about how much our health care "system" costs, regardless of who provides insurance. For example, would you retain Medicare in your proposal? One of the issues that Bush's drug benefit created was Congress's prohibition on price negotiations with big pharma - which seems to increase costs across the board for US consumers. And, of course, as I wrote above, the fact that doctors, hospitals, etc., charge fees for each service provided, which obviously incentivizes more, not less, care (and more care is not always good for one's health). Finally, what would you propose re. the whole pre-existing conditions issue? Auto insurance differs from homeowners in a crucial way. If one wants to drive, one needs to buy insurance (though one can choose the coverage amount) - not so for homeowners (except if one has a mortgage). Would you make people buy health insurance?


EDITED, looks like it deletes all after the arrow marks. after the code was more text.

slash mark. For some reason the text editor replaces it with that code, at least from phones. Does the same sort of thing to the "greater than" and "less than" arrow symbols.

Climate change is the new "religious" belief that is being used as the vehicle for global control and wealth redistribution.


Both Iran and Saudi Arabia want to call the shots in Iraq.  By antagonizing Iran and cozying up to Saudi Arabia the u.s. has made their choice who they want to see in this role.  Yet I don’t think it’s smart strategy since Iran will alsways have the upper hand due to their size and proximity and the power of Shiite Moslems in Iraq


would have attacked the refrigerator instead.


The human environment can be part of the cougar's habitat, as can be the coyote's.  They are highly adaptable creatures.  The same cannot be said of William Gibb.

 He is a news species of gnarly-man.   A-r-r-r-h!


UH has and will continue to lose big time with this strategy.
By not having the next generation or anyone for that matter get behind a team you need to see them play to develop your fan base. And many can't make it to the stadium.

Hawaii is the only school I've heard that does this ppv and its lame. This is a state run university that WE the taxpayers support already.  I would bet you could put this on FREE tv and the network would make advertising $ like every other league or sport. Shortsighted and very unfriendly for new fans or others who can't afford $75.


I think they need to drop Joe Ellis and promote Elway. Ellis should have made this priority one. If Elway does leave because of Ellis' mistake then this team will quickly descend into the toilet.


MA:  Go spout your communism in another country.  If public sector unions quit using taxpayer dollars to support legislation and political candidates that do not represent the taxpayers, if unions quit forcing workers to join, if union leaders were not corrupt, if Democrats would quit advocating wealth redistribution, if unions quit forcing members to vote certain ways, etc, etc.  Bullies, gangs, and violence are mostly a thing of the past and were tactics used by both sides.  You should be proud of your union brothers and sisters, I am also.  Unions, particularly in the private sector, are necessary and useful.  In the public sector not so much.  "Right to work" produces goods and services that union members utilize.  As you can see there are two sides to this issue.


We are constantly listening to the "welfare crowd" tell us how they can't find work.

1. Create training programs
2. Put them to work

Problem SOLVED.

History teaches us that most of them will not do this on their own, so phasing out welfare and putting them on a Payroll instead will need to be mandated.


At the end of the 6 month period, I hope the list is ready of all the DACA illegals who are not working, on public assistance or in public housing and it's back to Guatemala.  If they are employed and supporting themselves, then we can talk about them staying.


The relationship (guanxi 关系） that was developed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau between Premier Li Keqiang was astounding in its complexity and efficacy.  Their families were able to enjoy each other's company. This is the way one should relate to the Chinese on all levels. Trudeau has been to China many times. Xiao Tudou - 小土豆 - Small Potato is a name that endears him to the Chinese. When people insult the prime minister by making fun of this lovely name, they insult the Chinese.  Why? Because it's a form of bullying.  Anyone who really knows anything substantial about the Chinese as opposed to ephemeral ranting knows this is true.


That reminds me of when I was a commercial fisherman: When we got to port we spent our money on liquor, fast women, and cigarettes. Whatever was left over, we just spent foolishly.


Lock him up!


Exactly my thought.  There are great Canadain companies so why not set an example for the Canadian youngsters.  Something they can all relate to, like a telecom (communications), bank (obvious), a utility (heats their house), or a rail transport (kids love trains).  You know he ticker symbols - not rocket science.


This single vote could very well be John McCain's legacy. In one vote he got even with Obama, and now we could have MCCAINcare. And has a anti-Trumpist he gave it to Trump. So in typical McCain style McCain comes first and the country a distant second.
Democrats want the mandates, as a mean of control, and Republican want We the People to be in control of their health care needs. This all come down to trust, Republican trust We the people, to be able to make their own decision, and Democrat don't, and McCain wants everyone to look at him.


BSherman sad to ay is my house rep.  He's one of the those scum bags that tried to pass a law to imprison Americans for 20 years for boycotting Israel HR1697.   Sherman got behind a law in Ca where anyone can accuse a business of  Boycotting Israel,  including supporters of Israeli Business AB2844.   American business can be turned down for state contracts as a result.


It's a 'harsh reality'show.


It's this often quoted myth which gives some Doctor's their God complex.    You know what happens in the majority of cases when a Doctor makes a mistake?

I don't think I have ever read a more insightful essay on what religion really means.  I am not Catholic nor do my experiences mirror Kelly's, but this article touched a deep chord of longing and memory. Well done.


Oh, I see.... all hunters only hunt for sport? They just chop the head off for mounting and leave the rest to be scavenged?? What do you think happens with the kill, after it's taken out?

I imagine it's fun for them, lol. I'll say this, if there's a huge disruption on produced meat supply, they probably won't have issues getting meat for themselves. The thing is, people have their right to hunt, with permits, or a property owner's permission to access certain land.

I'm sure you know, if you know anyone with land that contains cattle and/or horses, that baiting or trapping, within legal requirements, to eradicate predators, may be necessary. Hence, where those measures are most likely in use. Of course, if it's coyotes, they probably shoot them.

Goats will not fend off a bear or wolves, or a mountain lion as well, they'd be eaten.


Sham treatment - yes, kind of.  It works for a little while for some people because it is a form of blood-letting that reduces accumulations of substances such as toxins in the blood.   People with certain metabolic genetic anomalies have problems eliminating toxins and even excesses of healthy minerals.

The majority of MS patients have a form of the disease that is treatable.   The treatment is inexpensive though and so doesn't get much support.     Of the 100,000 or so MS patients in Canada, fewer than 5% have a form of the disease that should require advanced medical treatments such as stem cell therapy.

Note that Canada has the highest rate of MS in the world.   Countries that receive less sunlight than the majority of Canadians such as Norway and Finland have much lower rates of MS.


Illegal crossings have probably not stopped. The fact that the media are no longer reporting on them implies to me that the rate of crossings has probably decreased making this no longer newsworthy. If they were coming over in their thousands every day, it would be reported on, guaranteed. Perhaps the word has got back to the American side from those who crossed illegally that they were taken straight to CBSA and their chances of remaining here are slim?


Oh yeah. You just hold on for a couple of minutes ok, while we run off and do your research for you.


I respectfully beg to differ on one small point.  I know a number of people with DB pensions with a bridging factor who - for a variety of reasons - started collecting CPP prior to age 65. In every case they knew that once the bridging factor stopped (at age 65), their "early receipt" CPP would not be quite as large as the bridge itself.  At least their small age 65 CPP shortfalls were eliminated by starting to collect OAS at that age.  Agree that his combined government and employer pensions will be nice at age 65!


$82/person doesn't seem too bad.  It would depend on how often a person is able to run an activity. Is there an admission limit or would they allow as many as they can pack into the place?


I have particular 'gaul' (sic) with the Star and Globe using the term "reprieve". It smacks of tabloid journalism, and completely misses what has happened, and not just in France. It's happened in the Nederlands, Austria and elsewhere.

Yes Europeans have very serious issues with Brussels, but those are far better dealt with *inside the EU* than out of it. The marriage is far from over, it's just going through a mid-life examination, and coming out looking solid, for all the yet unresolved issues.

Not unlike Canada or the US, with states and provinces at each other's throats on some issues. And both well over a century and a half old.

"Reprieve": www.dictionary.com/browse/reprieveto give temporary relief to (a person or thing), esp from otherwise irrevocable harm: the government has reprieved the company with a huge loan. noun. 3. a postponement or remission of punishment, esp of a person condemned to death. [...]

Obscene.


Shallow nantucket.....how's about the west gets out of the middle east altogether and  let them solve it themselves.  If you think when America goes into a country and kills over a million people and that creates no hard feelings, it is you that are causing damage to the world for your short sighted understanding of cause and effect.


But you stated "the current system that funnels government funds into the largely private, for-profit, and grossly inefficient delivery system." Now it seems that the largest government system "is the most efficient insurance system in this country."

Your math seems to be twisted perhaps your analysis is shaded by working backwards from your conclusion that US federal government controlled single-payer is the solution and attempting to make the components fit your preconceived notion.

I would tend to look at the situation directly and notice that the federal government controlled solutions seem to be a significant contributor of higher costs and worse outcomes nationally.

You seem to have faith that giving the federal government the small remaining percent of national healthcare up to 99% or 100% is a rational conclusion. I do not see any evidence that conclusion is objectively justified by current or past results.


The billionaire philanthropist has and continues to receive financial support from the government.  There is a difference.  A major one.


"This article tells us nothing about what Maduro's plan is:"

And nor do you.

Maduro's plan is to further degrade democracy by removing democratically elected opposition members, and install a rubber stamp chamber.

"Maduro has compared these machinations to what happened in the Ukraine in 2014" He's hardly going to put his hand up and say "Yeah, I'm destroying democracy the way I destroyed the economy", is he.

Meanwhile the people are starving, his cronies are looting the treasury, and the country is"progressing" backwards.


Hi William,
The issue is that we don't judge truth by our experience. To say that you have been blessed by the preaching ministries of a woman preachers when the bible says that isn't the correct order of things. Its like I know of men that are really blessed by how their wives go to work to support the family and they think that it is so wonderful that the Lord would give here the work and the strength to do it and do a good job but the bible gave that duty to man not woman. And to his shame he forfeits his God given roll and the bible says that he is worse than a non believer if HE doesn't support his family.
And so it is with ministry. God gave man the duty of ministry"the elder is to be the husband of one wife". 1Cor.14:34-38 is not a suggestion it is a command and it ends with "if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
The the point is don't judge your ideas by your feelings but by the word of God…The Holy Spirit inspired them.

God bless you buddy

Dave

I had to get some help from people who know logical fallacies much more than I to name your potential fallacy.  The fallacy of the future seems to fit your statement that future Federal courts will explain your point at some later date. Now, to be sure, this is not a fallacy if one can see a logical progression of things. If I see my wooden deck furniture start to decay due to exposure to the elements, I can say that if this continues without intervention, my furniture will likely need replacing. But you are assuming the will of the courts, something much more difficult to predict (though you may feel yourself an expert here). Anyway, I enjoy looking these things up and I'd hope you might think this is a way to keep our arguments free of logical fallacies. I am sure in the future, you will come to my way of seeing it (humor). https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Escape_to_the_future


I guess you missed where I criticized Obama.... Oh well, reading doesn't seem to be the hobby of choice for Trump supporters, unless it's Sean Hannity in your Facebook feed.


I shouldn't laugh......but.


I'm pretty sure Elway would give more to Os than I would, so my opinion doesn't matter.  Just not big on the guy.  His arm motion stinks (lots of batted balls for a tall guy), his field awareness isn't anything "wow", whereas Siemian is coming on line to where his is.  Siemian just seems a lot smarter, adaptable, and able to stand up to a LOT of pressure both on and off the field.  Os seems the opposite to me.  Things would rub him wrong, and his play would go downhill.

6th for Lynch...lol.  Bummer investment.  I wonder if they really will give up on him (or already have)?

Who would you pursue?


How about the word Squaw?  I am married to an Alaskan Native, an Athabascan woman.  I think the word Squaw is derogatory.  There is a song, too, that uses the phrase, "Squaws along the Yukon are good enough for me."  That song should be removed from jukeboxes found in bars throughout Alaska. Also, the treaty with Russia when the US purchased Alaska uses the phrase, Uncivilized Tribes.  That's kind of offensive, too.


Not nationalistic enough or perhaps too many big words?


I remember "Workfare" - a model of why rampant socialism should terrify everyone.


LOL...much of the media has turned into the tabloids we find near the grocery check outs.


Maybe before you start making yourselves the laughing stock of where ever it might be you coke from you might just want to do a teeny bit of investigation into that which is housing hope.  I know for a fact that they have stringent guide lines and YES rule to be followed AND brace yourself now adequate surveillance (big word I know) to insure that these are resected. And like they said this is there 60th yes 60th project; so not only are they more than likely a success there a welcome sight to those a litte more informed than the average ameaba, and shouldn't be that hard to find even for those such as yourselves that obviously are not. Like the one let's say just a tad north of this sight maybe ten minutes from your front door Mr Martin which you obviously haven't heard anything let alone negatime a report about. LOL


Sort of like CM Martin claiming to see the Mayors cabinet members laughing during CM Ozawa's comments when at the time there weren't any cabinet members in the room?

Here's a recipe for disaster... in the last three years, government spending has increased from about 25% of the Russian economy to 70%.


Part 2:  Yes, increased pay would help recruit and retain teachers.  But, it's not just the money.  Better working conditions would also help.  Much of this, I will say, falls on the parents.  A lot of children come to school with poor study habits, bad attitudes, bad manners, and simply do not value education.  This is a difficult thing to teach.  Teachers are trained to teach their content:  math, science, social studies....they are not trained to teach proper manners or how to study instead of spend hours on Instagram.  We only see your child a few hours a day.  For high school, it's maybe 1-1.5 hours a day.  We can only do so much.  If every student would come well prepared, have good manners, appreciate their education, and do all of their work, there would be no teacher shortage.  But, do such students exist?  Hammmm.....I wonder why private schools do not have teacher shortages?

Not course he has the right to say his verbal gibberish and people have a right to invite him to speak but we should all endeavor to strive for speak that does not harm others.  Just because free speech exists does not mean I should morally be allowed to use that speech to hurt people.


That's insane.

Am I missing something here? This seems to be a fairly provocative speculative piece of reporting and for what purpose? Two vehicle deaths, albeit with possible criminal implications allegedly due to drugs and alcohol (an all too common situation anywhere nowadays), and a one off arson that got of control caused by a disgruntled and/or troubled patron. That leaves two gun events, one of which you can squarely lay at the feet of law enforcement and the other unsolved to date. Hardly a crime spree despite your attempts to characterize it as such. What's the KR agenda here? Who's agenda is KR trying to further? This just doesn't pass the smell test. Me thinks this may be an effort to garner public support for once again more police activity using the age old scare tactic. Shame on KR.

Canada has kept treaties with its native people.  Canada has also 'settled' land claims with First Nations people to  the tune of billions of dollars over the tears. The goverment of Canada maintains a national policy that again costs billions annually to see to the needs of First Nations people. Please note we call them 'First Nations' because they were in Canada  before Europeans appeared, and they aren't second class citizens (they were at one time) .  They aren't taxed at all.

How much money has Israel paid for land sequestered in the West Bank?  How much does the government budget for the welfare of millions of displaced Palestinian non-citizens?  And why do we keep on hearing that Israel denies fishing rights, or withholds the taxes paid by these people to the Israeli state.

Lastly, Canada  doesn't maintain any military or security force to 'cope' with native people. They seem to be reason one that Israel s an armed camp.

Israeli might try a Canadian  solution.


Freedom of Speech is a right granted under our Constitution. Yes, everyone has consequences for what they say,depending on where, when and what they say. Yes, no one has to listen to me, or like what I say.
When everything I post is "offensive" because you disagree with me, it does not mean what I say is actually "offensive", or that it is anything less valid then what you say.
 Calling what I post as "offensive" is your personal judgement based on your perception of what "offensive" is. In this case it seems that anything I say is "offensive" to you because you hate what I say. I do not get offended by what you say, not even the personal attacks.
You call me names but I don't try to get you blocked or flagged. Just because I do not agree or like what you post I do not try to suppress or silence you. I see it for what it is,
bigotry. Bigots are intolerant of any ideas, thoughts or beliefs contrary to their own.Bigots are close minded to new or different idea and try to silence them.

EN, Your analysis of why the Electoral College was created is flawed.  The true threat to the various "small" states was large population centers (northern cities) dominating the new Federal Government.  Exactly what we would face today if the President was elected by the popular vote.   The "3/5" compromise came about to ensure the small and mostly slave holding states had a large enough population to counter that simple mathematical domination.  If this compromise hadn't occurred, there would be no Constitution and no Union.  The Constitutional debates began in 1787.  Slavery was still legal in some northern states when the debates began and those that had abolished slavery, had only recently done so.

So one has to ask themselves, what would have happened between now and then if the "3/5" compromise hadn't occurred?

Here's an easy to read simple overview of the Electoral College:  http://www.history.com/news/the-history-of-the-electoral-college-debate


A "disagree" for asking a basic journalistic ethics question? Tough crowd.


While Picard is right in principle that misuse of antibiotics promotes resistance, this is not the key problem in the case of tuberculosis. TB bacteria are special little critters, and there is little overlap between the drugs used against them and those used against other bacterial pathogens; therefore, misuse of the latter class has little effect on TB.

A key problem with TB is drug cost. As stated in the article, you use a combination of 3 or 4 effective drugs. The key reason is to prevent emergence of resistance under treatment: bugs are much less likely to acquire resistance to multiple drugs all at once than to a single one.

Now, if you are poor and nobody pays for your treatment, and you are prescribed 4 expensive drugs, what are you going to do? Right, you only buy the cheapest 1 or 2. Your bugs become resistant, and you infect other people. That partial resistance now serves as a jumping board for the bug to become resistant to the other drugs in the combination as well.


blatantly misleading headline.  i clicked on that video expecting to see folks wearing ushankas, dancing around- some clothed, others not so much- swilling vodka and eating sausages, boogying down to some mind-numbing european techno.  you owe me 2min and 42 seconds.

Congrats G&M, you're that much closer to your dream of getting rid of Trump and life returning to the globalist's idealization of the regulated norm. If you think that he's an outlier and not a product of the growing undercurrent of Nationalism across the West, I've got a bridge to sell you.
I will, however, support your editorial calling for a declaration of war against Russia. It's time for Freeland to put her money where her mouth is.  I suggest calling for the draft and starting with the Ukrainian front.  It should be a good character building exercise for the Millennials.


Actually they were the progressives of the day. Liberals are a more up to date descriptor. Fascism is a left wing ideology, always has been and always will be. Mussolini was much loved by American progressives and even Roosevelt modeled many of the New deal programs after Fascist programs and policies. A great book that explains it very well is "Three New Deals : Reflections on Roosevelt's America, Mussolini's Italy and Hitler's Germany, 1933 - 1939". An excellent book from a progressive author and scholar.


I know this is asked a lot so his Medal of Honor pension is retroactive. Back then not sure how much it was. In the early-mid 90's it was like $300 - $400 a month? Then there was no limit of pensions for each additional MoH the recipient was entitled to a pension/stipend. That later changed. Concerns of a MoH x2 were people attempting to do acts of valor to be nominated for the MoH to get more pay; tax payer burden; ensuring the recipient can live modestly day to day. The MoH pension + any disability + SSA should allow a recipient to live modestly. Thus the MoH pension limited to a single payment and the sum increased - currently $1303 a month tax free. Yes there are MoH recipients not listed publicly and some with more than one MoH. For instance if you search for 'Green Beret coffin with SEAL Trident' you'll see a pretty well known picture. That Green Beret is a Medal of Honor recipient yet his name not made public. A bit of history on the MoH.


Anyone who believes that Trump cares AT ALL about coal miners raise your hand.  You must be shopping at the new pot shops.  It's all about money and oil, folks.  Most of the Republican Party is financed and owned by big oil and to some extent by big coal and like good little servants of the almighty dollar the politicians do as they're told.  Trump's dealings with Russia are mostly about oil and he stands to make very large sums of money for using his presidential authority to promote fossil fuels.  It's big oil that runs America and they'll enslave the US to fossil fuels until they squeeze the last dime out.  Leaving a livable environment for our children does not matter to them.  Clean air to breathe, clean water to drink?  If it doesn't make oil magnates more money to get tax breaks on, they don't care.  And I object to the author's referral to people who object to pollution as "environmentalists" as though it was a strange and separate breed.  Climate change affects us ALL.


no one cares what a paid liberal trolling hack like you believes lunatic,,
