Donald Trump is far from a failed businessman, what a stupid uneducated argument.


Not true at all.


Netflix is a scam. Have never signed up....all my films and TV i get from the public library. My tax dollars at work!


Wow and I mean, "WOW"!... Who are conservatives?....what an incredibly stupid question!    Conservatives are, a wide spectrum of, reasonably thinking people, who, for the most part, think that, Government intervention, in peoples business, personal and otherwise, (which by the way, fuels, 75% of the Canadian economy) should, "go away", that's who we are!  We're the people who have:....Ideas, who create business, who hire people, who, above all else, "PAY TAXES" to various levels of incompetent governments!   OK, let's refresh....CONSERVATIVES create, most of the "REAL" employment in this country and pay the, "MAJORITY" of taxes!... Anybody, and I mean, "ANYBODY" who doesn't realize this or hasn't figured it out, is a complete and utter fool!


I don't know how to make my point any more clear so I will just say it again, you cannot call a person who changes his mind unwavering.

That was my only point; not that he's right or wrong good or bad smart or dumb just that he's not unwavering.


Solid platform.
What are your stands on water quality / aquafirs / Ocean / RIMPAC Bombing / GMO's / tons of pesticides applied around our keiki's schools and homes, Geothermal? ,
Overdevelopment moratorium until we figure out how to mend our current infrastructure/ road improvement/ waster water treatment, TPP/ TMT/
Haleakala, Hawaiian's on the list for homes ( some 30+ years SHAME! ) .  That will be a good start of what 'the people' care about. Mahalo 🌺
Anyone may use this to question their representatives and please add your interests.


Maybe you should watch it more?  You might learn something.  On second thought I think you should take my class on the Theology of the body.  Yep, I'm ready when you are Monica!!


CNN said her purse is worth more than $10,000......wow laulau.....maybe she can switch to a 50 cents blue cloth bag from Wal-Mart......make believe she's one of us little people?

Nah.  He's 18 and will be tried as an adult.  Long stretch awaits this violent criminal.


Run the damn rioters into the jail.  PEACEFUL protest is the right, riot is the wrong.


The same office who let Greg gagnon murder Shane Carlson in cold blood with witnesses and did nothing. Doug Harcelroad and Alex I'm a liar and a crook Gardner have blood on there hands and always will. Greg gagnon was a fletcher and smart repairman.


A one mile commute by bicycle sounds like utopia. That should be the gold standard in urban planning.

I had a 3 mile commute by bicycle back in the South, with no bike paths; it took me, typically, a little under fifteen minutes each way.

But with the lack of dedicated road space, the lack of bike racks at work, and the dreadful heat and humidity much of the year it was too far.


Another quality City of Anchorage project administered by time-tested, donor-savvy political operatives. What could possibly go wrong? See: Lack of real-life, actual engineering experience.


Yes. And to your point, here's an article from RedState (in no way a liberal publication) about today's events:
http://www.redstate.com/sweetie15/2017/06/29/men-courage-responses-trumps-latest-assault-dignity-office/

More telling is the comments section. Conservatives (not the Trump variety of populists) are disgusted, ashamed, and wondering if they need to form a new party.


It is sad when a protest vote against the government asking about Religion gets morphed by bureaucrats into a serious Religious category. Obviously they didn't get the message.

The Stats Canada numbers are a waste of time any way. People lie and give Socially Conventional answers. That is, answering as they were indoctrinated to respond as children. Bibbiy (U Lethbridge) noted back in 1986 that for most Canadians being Anglican, Baptist, Catholic, ...  has no significance beyond whether a particular ritual is performed when they are born, married, and buried. It is like saying they are English, French, Irish, ...   A statement about their ancestors that has no relevance to their daily lives.

Census data is published, after a delay, but with the full details including Religion, Address, name, birth date, and other personally identifying information. The pressure to give a socially conventional response goes up when the government asks and plans to tell everybody in the future.


I think anything short of an independent police force and justice system is not good enough.
These Princes of the Church need to understand that they have failed and they no longer control the justice system but must be responsible to lay authority that respects true justice, not canon law. As Tom Doyle, a respected canon law expert, said canon law seems to be what a bishops says it is. Not good enough indeed!


However Trump cannot fire the FBI director because he was continuing to investigate Trump and staff members and any illegal collusion with Russian officials.  Flynn was already caught lying about his Russian ties.  If a case can be made, with Comey's testimony, that Trump fired Comey to end/stifle the Trump / Russian investigation, that is an impeachable offense.  Presidents of the US are given incredible power, however like Nixon, the line is drawn when they act like scheming dictators.


Nope. Acting AG Dana Bolt took the place of the AG Trump fired when she told him how wrong he was.
.
You can try to peddle your fake news .... but the GM readers are much too intelligent to listen to your silliness.
.
In case you still don't get it ... Federal court judge James Robart has already invalidated at least part of Trumps ban. Border patrols have said they will comply with the judges order.
.
Do try to keep up to what is actually happening JC .... you look like a trump toadie when you fall behind


I'm pretty sure we have an agreement/treaty with South Korea that has US contribution to the cost of containing possible North Korea aggression.    All things can be renegotiated, but I would not break a contract unilaterally.     We may change administation but internationally our agreements are made by the Nation, not the fluctuating whims of partisanship.    If South Korea wants to change terms we can certainly negotiate changes.


Trudeau long ago said if you were personally against abortion, even if you agreed to vote on party lines on the matter, you still couldn't be a Liberal.  Like the Taleban, ISIS and liberal progressives, he forbids you to have personal views other than the approved ones to be associated with him.  Harper said you can have your personal views but you must vote on party lines.  Today's Canadians and their media prefer a dictator as long as he's got nice hair and is a cool dude.


This nonsense of "playing chicken" is what's unsafe to begin with, and the recent teat-for-tat* activity has the potential to threaten world peace.

The particular incident shown here occurred on 6/19.  Only two days later in an obvious retaliation, we "buzzed" a transport plane carrying Russian defense minister Sergei K. Shoigu (again, over the Baltic Sea).  Our fighter was itself intercepted and chased off by a Russian fighter and there were no US complaints that its actions were anything but professional.

We're claiming, disingenuously, that we had no knowledge Shoigu was aboard.  Don't make me laugh.

The Baltic is not a NATO lake and a transport plane can easily be differentiated from a bomber.  These gratuitous interceptions and harassments on both sides must stop.  They can only exacerbate international tensions that are already high, and they could easily serve as triggers for far more dangerous escalations.

*Your software forced me to use this alternate spelling ;-)


I'd say you're the one who's dreaming, and a delusional dream at that.  You comments about Democratic collusion are based on pure fantasy. Time to wake up>


I think there is a bit of revisionism in this editorial.  It stresses slavery as the cause of the civil war.  It was a factor, but so were states rights.  The South was not the first area of the United States to consider secession.  During the war of 1812 areas of New England talked about leaving the Union because they disagreed with the war with England at a time that England was fighting Napoleon.  It is worthy of note that Abraham Lincoln wrote a New York newspaper in 1862 and said " My paramount objective in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery."


Sure they will, they did the same with tobacco growers in the 70's.  All it needs is gobs of compensation after which the dairy farmers will pocket the money and suddenly discover they can compete even without supply management.


I like raccoons, too.  Just a couple of weeks ago, I was watching the Rockies game when my cat started making strange catterwalling sounds and went to the sliding glass door that leads to a porch.  I got up to see what was going on, thinking it was another cat, but no, my cat was rubbing noses through the glass with a raccoon!  I walked right up to the door and the 'coon just looked at me.  I'm sure if I'd opened the door, he would have walked right in.  No fear at all.  He hung around about an hour, then climbed a trellis to the top of the fence and scampered off after finding no dog food in the yard.

A couple of years ago, I heard a commotion on the deck.  I flipped on the light, and a really big, fat raccoon waddled off.  I'd stored some bird seed in a cabinet on the deck, and he'd managed to open the cabinet door to get into it.   I have no idea how he managed climb the fence, as fat as he was.

Had a duck hang around about 4 hours earlier this summer.


The  non-grandstanding way to accomplish all that is simply to refrain from applying for a share of The Permanent Fund Dividend.  It's also  good economics - reduces the need for accounting and handling.
Shall we expect fewer applications for the 2018 payout?  (OK to laugh out loud now)


Says someone who really doesn't understand the industry. You do realize bitumen is going down the TransMountain today? Albeit in smaller batches. And it is either Dilbit, Synbit, or SCO (synthetic crude oil)? Along with diesels, gasolines, and jet fuel?

You do understand a new refinery/upgrader is under construction and is due to come on line this year after having been initiated by the former Progressive Conservative government? You do understand that the economics of building new refineries/upgraders are weak and that new Oil Sands mines (Kearl, Fort Hills) are producing pipeline spec bitumen that doesn't require upgrading using a new process called paraffinic froth treatment?

You do understand that there isn't much difference between a dilbit, synbit ocean spill and conventional oil?

You do understand that bitumen isn't any more corrosive during transportation than crude oil or refined petroleum products?


A person needs a drivers license to drive a car, a license to cut people's hair, a certificate to work in food service...but anyone can become a parent!  How can we change this?!


"instead of chasing the aerospace industry"

Actually we should review all subsidies / tax breaks that we provide everywhere.

Maybe the Federal government should stop providing subsidies / tax breaks altogether (including to BBD, GM, Chrysler) and pass the savings to the provinces!

Provinces would then decide what to subsidize or not, with their own money!

That would save us from all the Quebec bashings...


It is hard to imagine a government that is less transparent than the Harper PCs were. Morneau has not earned the respect and support of Canadians. We have not had such a lame duck finance minister for decades.


"A Berkowitz study indicated that the first $40 million and four years of work were wasted."  Friends, is that not the definition of a self-fulfilling prophecy by Berkowitz and the author?  And since the piece makes accusations about political malfeasance has anyone forgotten how Bill Sheffield with the help of Begich and Berkowitz wasted $302 million dollars on the Port of Anchorage fiasco without accountability except for those of us who paid the bill?


Yes your buddy laugher. Or canie or canoli or whatever you call him. He had a lot to say about Auston Mathews'  pants. He spent a great deal of time looking at them.


The general rent-versus-buy argument seems to be a dumb paradigm over which to argue (in terms of wealth creation). The decisive determination ought to be one of fully pricing a housing asset in relationship to the expected pricing of rents over the same period that one owns the asset. In some circumstances (i.e. GTA in 1994), it proves profitable to own; in others, like the current recently deflated mania, it will prove otherwise.


Back in the 'good old days'---at Catholic colleges---about the only women who WERE prepared to head Catholic colleges were the Sisters.  The Sisters strove to educate the women who came to study, to take initiatives, to be leaders.  At that time Sisters DID their work and educated women.

Now, those women and the daughters of those women so educated to be leaders are NOW LEADERS---and they can and do head universities.  This is the AGE of the LAITY---and it is time that lay women and men---step up to take the responsibility to educate a new generation of Catholic leaders.
It's good that they are doing this.

The Sisters, today, have moved to minister to those who live on the margins of society---both in our country and abroad.  They should be applauded for moving in the Light of Christ and moving into the unknown territory of the poor, the homeless, the addicted, the abused.


This is Oregon and, unfortunately the courts do not punish career criminals. Until the lawmakers are removed from office and replaced by those who actually want to make this state safer, this will continue to be the case.


Things will be bad, but unlike the 90s the other places to move so aren't so attractive.  The US has Trump whereas if they had Clinton or an establishment Republican it might be more attractive.  Alberta and Ontario had governments on the political right during the 90s, today they have left wing ones like BC will and are in a deeper mess.  Only Saskatchewan and Manitoba have centre-right governments and both being landlocked and small populations will mean less moving to them.  Now yes if Brown wins in Ontario and Kenney in Alberta you could see this change, but people don't change on the whim of a change in government, they change after a government has been in for a while and its policies have had an impact meaning it will more be if the NDP gets a second term this might happen.


Who are the D's going to run against Murkowski?


She wasn't a victim. Calling someone like her a "victim" is an insult to real victims.


the root of all of this was to get the uncle out of the picture by framing him so that the elder abuse could continue with Katherine taking from her grandma. Elder Abuse. Aloha


It was probably some liberal hypocrite who judged my comment as politically incorrect  and uncivil because it hurt their feelings.


You get an extra deduction for each kid you can cause to be born or adopt or raise as a 'dependent' according to the US tax code.

Is English your native tongue or are you just being intentionally 'ignorant' again?


It seems that Mr. Rhoads is more concerned about illegal immigrants than he is about our kupuna.  Shame on him!


Does this comply with the sprit of The Oahu General Plan?


It showed as having been deleted as 'uncivil' after it had been approved and up for several hours, ot. When this happens, the commenter can see the original post but no-one else can.

So I reposted it. Hope that helps.


Here is the PROBLEM.  The Big Rig  RV industry  in Oregon has a extremely volatile history here in Oregon.   When the economy is good, the RV companies will show growth just like most companies.  But when the economy tanks, the RV industry is one of the first to go, along with health memberships, golf club memberships, etc.  This RV property that Winnie bought has traded hands 3-4 times now in  the last 10 years, and the real winner is the original owner, Ron Lee, who has sold it , then had to take it back, re sold it again , and again, he is laughing all the way to the bank.

When the economy tanks again, Winnie closes the plant, Ron Lee is lurking, he will buy it back for pennies on the dollar, sucker awaits.

I do not care what anybody says, the Oregon economy has never totally recovered from the last recession.  I believe another recession or depression is looming in the very near future, keep a eye on S&P 500, has been down now 9 days in a row, WATCH OUT, the BIG one is a comin.


All Republicans should be in favor of this bill, however I worry about the RHINO's who lean both ways as it suits their personal agenda.  John McCain for example has a vendetta against President Trump that he is not honorable enough to let go of for "We the People".  I do think the lack of support for the "repeal/replace" of Obamacare may cost several with the R designation to loose their seats and rightfully so.


@thats that then. And exactly which books have you read that were based on Current Oil tax and production compared to past tax and production based on the effects of SB-21.. Must have missed tho books


Scheer comes across as a pleasant man who stands by his opinions and beliefs with conviction.  He can convey his message without being shrill.  He can also clearly articulate his Party's position with intelligence, not getting off topic or lost in bafflegab, that continues to be an issue for the PM.  He still has to work on addressing questions to the press with more confidence as he initially displays initial nervousness.

Ibbitson is correct.  Scheer can make difficult decisions in regard to who is leader and who will be the team supporting him.  Bernier is not a good #2 man as was in evidence after the leadership vote, when he tried to tarnish a fair vote outcome.   This is what happened to Clark when his opponent, Claude Wagner, continued to criticize Clark after the convention which undermined the effort of securing a base in Quebec.   This was a problem that plagued Clark throughout his leadership of the Party.  Voters do not support Parties with unity issues.


the kids in Eugene are NOT GOOD enough to play at this level. our best athletes typically play at 2nd and 3rd tier schools


Yeah, but Obama worked to make this country great again. This president* is ruining our country after Obama worked so hard to drive out of the ditch.


Just crazy! I'm glad some realize they will b out when their election comes..most don't seem to care in the senate..glad my rep hears us!! WeThePPL will remember this issue come NOV! Refusal to cut spending but give run around excuses for taking the PFD..smh


So, the origins of the words "faggot" come from old English, and are a reference to a pile of sticks..used to burn people at the stake. Leaving aside Mr. Van Norman's blatant contempt for feminist theory, this is just an awful, sad justification for an ugly slur with no apparent consideration for impacted men, Gay and Straight, who have been assault with its meaning. If you really want to build a network of stronger men, you can inspire them with love, kindness, and the imperative to serve the community from a place of compassion. Three men in Oregon stepped up this past weekend, and I am assuming, and hoping, that nobody had to call them "faggot" to get them there. May the memory of the two who died be a blessing.


About right for being too arrogant to believe that the Courts really could take away and sell his toys and 'memorabilia'.

If he hadn't got the gun nuts in there with him, he would have been out years ago--or maybe even probation.


"But they’re deathly boring and dining out often means choosing between Swiss Chalet and East Side Mario’s."
Is it any wonder why everyone in the 905 hates Toronto?
Clearly the people of Toronto are completely ignorant to the rich culture that exists west of the 427 and east of the DVP.  In my town we are up to our neck in fabulous Thai, Vietnamese and other ethnic (for lack of a better word) restaurants.   That doesn't include specialty delis where one can buy a vast array of European sausages to take home or have a meal in the deli.  The local tapas bar is one of my favourites.
While Toronto raves about the Brickworks, it is but a postage stamp compared to the vast forests and tended gardens of the Royal Botanical Gardens.
Clearly, Yakabusky needs to get out more.


54 % in ontario, government has crossed the line and total tax revenues will decline as people find inventive ways to counter greed of government and disrepect for hardworking, productive people.


Yes, but federal law conflicts with state law both here and in other states.  Republicans claim to champion states' rights (except when they don't, which is most of the time), so which law do we enforce?


With 94% of the votes counted Clinton is leading Sanders in California by 425,000 votes out of more than 3,000,ooo votes cast. She is trouncing him by double digits. She has won about 150 more than a majority of PLEDGED delegates than Sanders. She has won the popular vote by 3,600,000 votes. Sorry to bust your bubble, but she won going away and WILL be nominated on the first ballot at the Democratic National Convention.


I beg to differ, when speaking about Atwood I feel that you have the wrong end of the horse


As an Alaska Native I would say this is unconstitutional to be promoting the take down of our nations statues.

I will back our current president Trump for protecting these landmarks, and our historic landmarks.

The confederates were only 2% slave owners and this has nothing to do with race or ethnicity.

Every gov't of every nation whether it be European, African or multi Ethnic had slave owners in that time frame.  The history books will not disclose this to the public, but they will eventually find out the real history in due time.

The information the mainstream media puts out, is designed to insight hatred and cause division, and it should not be promoted anywhere.  Not in Alaska, Texas or DC.

Trump represents the people (America First), and not the politicians who work for special interest groups in DC


absolutely correct Billy Ray - could not have said it better - and again - that's the legislature's doing.

Besides Madrid and Brussels, as mentioned below, there are several other cases.  Brasilia seems to the most populous with THREE living cardinals, one retired archbishop at age 80, the new cardinal-archbishop appointed in this round and a former archbishop who was appointed as prefect of the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life and who is voting age.  In addition, there are two living Cardinals in Rio de Janeiro, one voting age and one not.  Westminster, England.  I know there are others, I just haven't taken the time to thoroughly investigate them.


I would like to see a federal ban on foreign real estate investment. I'm starting to think we shouldn't think of real estate as investments.

I took the median family income in BC from Stats Canada, and used it in RBC's Mortgage Calc to estimate the maximum house cost they could afford. There is nothing in the GVRD that the median family income could afford, unless they had a few hundred thousand as a deposit. Keep in mind the majority of BC population is in the GVRD.


Give him the belt.


That's funny. I'll bet three fourths of those reading the comment section don't even know who she is.


A lot of Hawaiians would probably like to move back home to Hawaii.  But, aiyah.  No get room and cannot afford.  Choke outsiders already here get the land with more money and votes.  Tough luck brah.  You gotta keep duckin' bullets ova deah.  But at least you get more sand there than we get here.


Good Job Uncle BEN!


Who'd have guessed you and Jason were both comedians?


that's (barely) good for the few but far from sufficient. sanitation / protection regarding foods and handling from the masses is paramount, but seems to have gotten short shrift from the start. deadly e coli and such can quickly turn rampant in such conditions and devastate all outside markets should a major case occur, not to mention the expense and hassles if it does. these factors should have been a top concern from day 1, instead it's gotten far out of hand and we've been lucky to avoid serious problems.
thanx for your vigilance!


There goes any affordable housing for the working poor along the rail line--a unique opportunity to provide transportation and homes for the people who provide daily service to the tourists and working professionals in Waikiki. Sigh...


And what is wrong with this?  Nothing.  Hopefully soon 98% of countries will take back their criminals.  For the life of me I do not understand WHY people think it is ok for ILLEGAL CRIMINALS to stay in this country.  Come to the USA the right way- which is to do it legally- which millions of others have had to do. This reminds me of celebrities who adopt children- probably more than likely they are treated specially and with kid gloves and put at the top of a waiting list - not having to wait long.  Is that fair or right?  But I doubt they see it that way.  I don't put much stock into what celebrities say about our government these days- I just change the channel.  Time to change the channel people and enforce laws here in this country and get the bad illegals out and hopefully for good.


Fuck this dude my dog is pit lab an he is the most sweetest loveable dog ever . I'd like you to do so thing to me or my dog . Plzz do . An I'll say this I have been attacked by more small dogs then big dogs in this town . So if another ankle bitter tryes getting at me ima kick that little fucker so far


A few years ago we bought a new truck from a local dealership. Young salesman was intelligent and charming. He had a picture of his four year old son on the desk and had tears in his eyes as he spoke of his love for the youngster. Later as we got to know him in the drawn out process of deal making he revealed that he was Sandy Hook truther, i.e. a denier of the carnage wrought on that elementary school that had taken the lives of 26 children his sons age. Another intelligent person afflicted with the poisonous plague of disinformation that is destroying reason in this once great nation. Having never met anyone who questioned what the media was reporting on Sandy Hook I went home and googled. One half of the first page was statements by law enforcement/first responders, the rest was the ugliest, vilest conspiracy theories imaginable. Our young salesman had fallen for the crap. Why? He no doubt voted for trump. Why can so many Americans no longer recognize the truth? Right wing media?


As long as it is not near where she has her second property in the periphery of the GTA with its farmer's markets, nice people, etc.  Go back a year or so ago and she was lamenting about the city folk encroaching on this rural way of life.   Hypocrite.


File this under Duh!  Of course having more money opens more doors, enables a college education, provides more seed money to start a business, and many other things that help create financial success.  Doesn't mean it does in EVERY CASE, of course, but on average, of course it's going to.

It's silly to pretend like that WOULDN'T be the case.  That's just how reality works.


Oh, they're paying premium prices for these new condominimums. The old train station was moved down there, just in case.


It's kind of disturbing how little thought some people put into their comments.  You really think it's "simple" if you have HPD responsible for airport security? You do realize HPD has limited manpower don't you? The only thing "simple" is your mind.


It's the salaries, but only that. There are occasional sudden unscheduled boosts in salaries for administrators, apparent rewards for well...what? There are also sinecures that attach to some administrative positions--that is, take an admin job, then return to your ordinary duties and you will take with you a lifetime raise. Then there are the little deals made between administrators involving getting hired part-time at high salary after retirement. There are all sorts of ways the admins bleed the system. The U is a corporate world with a tendency toward corporate ethics in some sectors.


Bigot: a person who is intolerant toward those holding different opinions.

Clearly you are intolerant of those of us who exercise our Second Amendment right to self-preservation and to kupuna-preservation. Clearly you are intolerant of those of us who use guns to protect ourselves, gays, transgenders, the kupuna, and/or the weak. Ironic isn't it?

This may challenge your beliefs. Gwendolyn Patton of the Pink Pistols an LGBTQ gun rights advocacy group stated it best in her press release in response to the tragic Orlando massacre that targeted Latin gay men yet destroyed gays, transgenders, and straights:

"I say again GUNS did not do this. A human being did this, a dead human being. Our job is not to demonize the man's tools but to condemn his acts and to work to prevent such acts in the future."

Well gee whiz.........Nixon is famous for his words,  "I am not a crook."  Reagan is famous for,  "Take one for the Gipper."   I cannot imagine Nixon (ewwww) saying something like what Trumpty did.  Reagan wouldn't dream of saying something like that............Nancy wouldda clobbered him, fired his chief of staff, his speech writer, his Secretary of State, his hairdresser,  his valet, his chef and the national security advisor.

Today, bigotry and sexual assault have become normalized thanks to this man who wants to make America "great" again.


Elizabeth, You are presuming it was the perp's legally registered auto.  Recent criminal activity in our town most likely means the car was stolen as well. Ownership of the auto notwithstanding, why are we as a community tolerating this lawless behavior?  Oh, I forgot, Mayor Berkowitz said we are safe if it isn't after midnight.


I think you're picking a quote that is little known. I'd love to see a reference on that. I also suspect that without context to that claim we don't know what they mean... do they mean that adding more energy into the system (global warming) they could turn off the thermo haline current and therefore plunge Eurasia into a new ice age - which is true.
If it is a bona fide claim by a recognized body, then the discussion about it will be vigorous and either be consistent with other findings or challenge other findings and either supersede them or be consigned to the junkyard. That is the nature of peer review.... that is getting the story straight - and it always takes time. These are not proclamations but processes.


The point of light rail and commuter rail has never been transportation. It was the construction projects and all of the graft that came with it. Now that the construction is done on these lines (R and W in particular) the reality of their superfluosity becomes a problem....and RTD scales the service to conserve as much of it's tax revenue as possible for administrative spending. (bureaucracy if you will....the real purpose of the tax to begin with)


Alaska best oil and gas years are ahead of us so it is time to revise our oil and tax policies to ensure that Alaska gets its fair of oil and gas resources. The administration and legislature are tasked with two things: 1) Balance the budget and; 2) Adopt an oil and gas policy that is proposed by Robin Brena.

Only then can we be sure that Alaska will gain maximum benefits for ITS oil and gas resources.


So many options to pick our pockets. Time to live within your budgets and state law.


Robb Myers, the Bible tells a different story.  When Moses brought the commandments down from Mt. Sinai, he created/God created (depending on your views) a Theocracy.  The Torah was a religious document, but it was also the law.  Jesus made a new covenant with the people, which replaced the laws of Moses.  Jesus spoke against the Sadducees and the Pharisees, which ran the legal system of Jewish communities, even under Roman rule.  He was very political.  He was, in essence, a legislator leading a grass-roots, political revolution, since in his Judaic world, religion and politics were one and the same.


Not sure we can call a man who refuses to have dinner with anyone other than his wife an "adult." I have serious reservations about Pence too.


what about all the clients of MEP ( maintenance enforcement) who have been forced to overpay their court orders, but no one in the justice department is liable? Many lost livelihoods, driving licenses, 70% never see their children anymore etc. Maybe they can start suing now too...? A group no one talks about in Canada, and around 30% of the population or so.


Do you even know what bigotry is?  Look it up


Yea, well ... we've heard other promises from Justin Trudeau that have not come to pass.  Don't hold you breath waiting for this one.


Your comment supposes everything is known, like knowledge is some sort of digital environment of known, or not known, at the flip of a switch.
This is the reason for the demands of an investigation, free of political interference.  Your post summarizes why this is needed, its reasoning does not do anything to diminish the need.
If he has had no contact, good.  But, that has yet to be established, and there are overwhelming reasons to consider the investigation of that question as warranted, both in the seriousness of the threat, and in tangible evidence already available.


Could surely enjoy more from this author.
"Having been involved in some struggles against injustice, I have become more aware of how we can become like what we fight against. "

This IS a question Americans should engage with as we spread war among the world.

And again, "I finished my graduate studies with the conviction of the importance of recognizing the significant questions in life, in faith, even when the answers were not clear.

'The important thing,' said Fackenheim in one of his lectures, 'is to deepen the question.'"

I guess I would like sermons in my church that would force me to "deepen the questions."


Clearly Trump is the winner..... Comey is nothing but a Leaker among many other things.... And that may be unlawful in itself - leaking internal FBI documents to the press?? And this guy was the head of the FBI?

When PC administrators go to a conference and hear talks on lock downs, they can't wait to get back and do the faddish PC thing.  Yuck.


Pohaku96744, it does not matter that Brian Schear paid for the seat.  What matters is that the seat belonged to Schear’s son who did not show up for the flight for which the ticket was issued.  That resulted in an available seat to be filled at the airline’s discretion.  Mr Schear had no rights to that seat just because he paid for it.  It is SOP for all airlines.


News for all of you - nobody is apologizing to anybody because this is about a COLLEGE FOOTBALL GAME held on a FRIDAY NIGHT for a major state rivalry. It wasn't Sunday morning, and this isn't church. I agree with others - raise your kids to learn that people say profane things and they can ignore them. College undergrads should be held to no standards of decency. (Note - I'm over the age of 35 - not in college. I have kids, and I would never, ever take them to a place that is predominantly full of bros on booze, and expect decency or kind language. So beat it Gabe.)

"The Mouse that Roared"  -   a great black and white movie from the 50's with Peter Sellers when a tiny country invaded the US and won.   Everyone was in the fallout shelters during a drill and they took over the government .   They invaded on the premise that countries the US went to war with and were  defeated were  given aid  after the war,  such as Japan and Germany,  and so they would be.   But they won!


In Ontario prices are up noticeably on more than just gas.

Biggest increase seems to be hydro and government services as well as groceries.

Sadly - coffee at Tim's is also more expensive.


Great job!!!


These people can only make so many excuses for the dufus trump, so the only card they can play is deflection.  I personally think it is durn funny how desperate they are.


The Reagan drug policies directly caused an inflation in the incarceration rates, helped to fund the path towards the current militarized police departments we now see standing behind tanks to stop protestors, and helped to turn the crack epidemic (of questionable origins) into an even greater force for destroying the families and communities of poor minority socioeconomic spheres.

The government abolition of drugs has been a money garnering scheme since its inception that has been used to target poor communities. The opioid epidemic has mainly been caused by drugs that were entirely legal while pharmaceutical companies are making record breaking profits. Too act like marijuana isn't readily available in Hawaii is an act of purposeful ignorance so the true question is who stands to earn what whether marijuana is legal or not.

Last I checked Colorado made a billion dollars from legalization.


Well, yeah...duh! Nothing is more worthless than an empty weapon...unless it's an empty-headed gun-grabber.


really-----   these priests, bishops , lay who tolerate this are not Christians…they are Constantinians.


In fact, it would be difficult to find an industry that does NOT have old fashioned whips and chains slavery in it's supply chains somewhere, and if you use the SANE definition of slavery (any instance where people do not have the realistic option not to work for this specific employer under whatever contract that employer chooses) then frankly there are virtually none left.
The only cases where you don't find it is in small business - and even there you can't count retailers since you'll certainly find it in some of the products they are selling.


Agreed.  The dairy cartel kneecaps consumers, food manufacturing (which employs more people than dairy production), and producers in general every time we go to a trade negotiating table.

That's NOT what 5 itself says.  That's NOT the way God has interpreted it.  So call God a pacifist, too!


Kind of makes sense, slow thought processes and chaos are definitely two things I'd associate with the ANC. Let's just hope some of them break the mould and make the right decision for once!


It's cool.   You don't care.   I know.   Disasters like what is taking place now are not important.  "Humanity" will be fine in 500 years.   Even if those who have denied climate change for the past 30 years, or in the case of Exxon-Mobile almost 50 years, are quite responsible for the suffering and the losses, it's not their problem.   See, I gave you another opportunity to talk about how much you don't care, and why you get to decide what has value and what does not.   I can't wait.

My best friend of 40 years and her husband have been evacuated there, I haven't been able to reach them for 4 days, and I'm deeply concerned.   Another family member is there also, an elderly individual who also has been unreachable for more than 4 days.

But I doubt everything will be fine.  There over 440 nuclear power plants in the world.  And there's a storm or a fire or a tornado or flood coming for every one of them, and they are coming faster all the time.  I hope you have a large family.


holy cow. I reference a line from an old SCTV skit and you go off about Trump turning the US into a dictatorship like North Korea. Loosen the strap on your tinfoil hat, it's affecting the oxygen to your brain.


And skinny....

This tree is sooooo skinny that it makes Celine Dion look pregnant...


In my opinion, ALL Americans should be highly offended.  We liberated France from the Nazis in WW II and, when we have a national crisis where people die, they see fit to humiliate us.   Least we forget, US blood was spilled to help France. These editors owe us an apology.


John, I am sure you will be quite glad when you get rid of all the Chinese, Black, and Muslim colonists too.


You know, the man is married to an Alaska Native and his children are Alaska Native. It's just not as you haters paint it to be.


Oh wait I see I had already explained that to you using the placeholder arguments "A" and "B". Oh well a little repetition doesn't hurt.


well, John,  that would be me. Jeanne Olson, running as an independent for House District 3. Ironically, i have seen this particular issue  from the animal abuse perspective. I worked for the FNSB Animal Control for 3 years and have been involved in animal rescue/abuse cases as a veterinarian for 28  years.  I had 3 cases of clear animal abuse that i couldn't get the legal system to process. Kids and Animals have the same plight...some are ignored and some are publicized unnecessarily. Yup, indeed, there are way more than two sides to a story. Sorting out the facts from 5 to 10 or more witnesses takes time, patience and diligence. Often, time is the deciding factor.  Having been in the trenches with the animal cases, i can assure you that it cuts into the deepest part of your soul,  to the very core, every time. Animals and kids....they are our voiceless and we need to do better. Stop throwing stones out there and let's work together to figure it out.


Yet they claim to be a "Christian Nation".

"One of the ways to resist Donald Trump is not to obsess on him. Unfortunately, late night comics are doing just that."

Good one.  I just got through explaining to a screaming 5 year old that the 7 year old will always do things and say things to you to make you cry and scream, or get mad because it always works.  That's what she wants.  For you to react.  It's called having power over you.  Of course he's too young to understand, but I'm sure he will figure it out (hopefully soon) and then he'll ignore her (hopefully soon!!!).

Here's another example from the "flipped" side:

TOO FUNNY!!


Worth noting,  after Trump finally made his waffling false equivalency response that David Duke (who was also in Charlottesville) publicly told Trump to "look in the mirror, we put you in the White House".   That tells us all we need to know about why the alt-right, neo-Nazi groups have become so brazen... they believe their man is in the White House and the tide is turning in their favor.


And thats your opinion and right...as it is the opinion and right of the players...and anyone else in America...to stand up for theirs...or kneel...or sit...the US army are not exactly freedom fighters anymore...more like freedom takers.  Make love, not war.


furthermore, the insect kill you refer to, was reported in Germany, and more hyperbole drivel for the sheep to graze on.

To sell milk on the open market you have to own a "quota" and they are expensive. So expensive that were the system to be abolished the dairies that own them would have to be reimbursed at great cost. Don't think Maxime has thought through the "unexpected consequences," not to mention who would be safeguarding the cleanliness of the milk.


Go ask UPS! My comment(s)... stand! If you want to escalate, go somewhere else.  Or after you've called UPS, YOU make the decision whether or not you want to work for them or do business with them.


Under Oregon rules, it is quite simple to change political affiliation on line. This year I am registered as a Republican because that is the party where I will be able to vote against Commissioner Sid Leiken who is running for Oregon Secy of State and Commissioner Faye Stewart who is running for US Senator. I want to do that because of their fiscal irresponsibility in giving Lane County administrators $800,000 in bonus pay while bemoaning a lack of resources to meet the county’s needs.

The Presidential primary in Oregon has little relevance. Neither major party’s nominee will depend on Oregon voting.

You still have time to do the same if you wish to vote for or against a particular candidate in either of the major parties.

The attempt to have open primaries has already been lost in Oregon and isn't likely to come back up for quite awhile.

Trump is free to give that speech to a fundraiser of his supporters. And most people wouldn't complain.
It was not appropriate for the Boy Scouts.


Excellent analysis and conclusion.


Speaking of Laura Miller, Clark's campaign chair, she is said to go on trial this September over the destruction of records in the McGuinty gas plants cancellation investigation which cost taxpayers around $1 B.


Fifty years later, we have two steps forward and five steps back. Why? The inertia.

I'm sure Gary Johnson can handle this.  Its been on the internet for quite awhile.


Doesn't seem news worthy at all.... a walk by, offence taken, a brief discussion, ten minutes of milling around quietly and then leaving. Has the Globe become infiltrated by the CBC? Somewhat disappointed to the apparent over reaction by the military before an investigation into the matter took place. Good ol' "guilty until proven innocent."


Her stuff is wasted in politics she should be on YouTube.


No...it is easy for you to say without actual knowledge. Are you there everyday to see the "many" or more than a "few"?  I really don't think so!


" the Americans may no longer be interested in Canada’s participation, said Prof. Charron"

That's about right. Canadians should not take themselves so seriously. PM Martin, PM Dithers and his record was an example of typical Liberal short sited political expediency. The current PM is the same. Instead of having foresight, planning for the future of his country and doing what all European countries like Germany, Netherlands, Poland, Denmark are doing currently with a missile defence system, Dithers was wringing his hands worried and fretting about what a bunch of apprentice students in Quebec thought. US doesn't need Canada's approval for anything. If Canadians think their nation has ever had any sovereignty, think again. Canada is on its own. Canadian territory will always be at the disposal of US strategy. If Canada doesn't like that then Canadians should do something about it.( which wouldn't be much )


Hi Lars,
It says Mylan donated $100,000-$250,000 to the foundation, not to the campaign. It says it likely happened in 2009. There was no Clinton campaign in 2009. Ooops!

The problem with your inquisitive mind is that you make stuff up and then present it as fact. Then when somebody calls you on it, you start obfuscating, attacking and projecting.

Hope this helps!


Kettle, meet pot.


There is a health care tax repeal that the liberal establishment is trying to kill, can we get this in place tomorrow so we can be sure to vote on that repeal?  The liberal establishment hate this idea because they know that it would make it harder for them to steal more money to waste.


Pretty thin analogy in my view. But how about this: Lots of great equity in appliances (Kenmore) and brands that you could count on, and home service was the #1 reason I bought at Sears for many years. Every single appliance and beds, to boot. Then, they outsourced their service and it seemed that you could never get someone to come, the parts took months (yes, months) to arrive and their hours of service coverage were inflexible in a society where most couples both work. There was no longer any reason to prefer Sears. I will miss Kenmore - but another brand will fill that space.

I wonder what happened to the booze after it was conficasted?


Trudeau speaks out and shows that he is an integral part of the alt-left violent propaganda machine when he labels Canadians who are peacefully protesting illegal immigration and radical Islam, racists.

Trudeau plays Liberal political games with Canadians when he could be blocking these supposed 'refugees' from even entering Canada but doesn't, thereby setting up the very conditions that fuels protest and then criticizes it when it takes place.

How dare he slander these Canadians. Thank goodness the Quebec police reacted and quashed the alt-left violent illegal counter-protest, many masked of course, and allowed a perfectly legal peaceful protest to proceed.


When Obama took office there were 242 detainees at Gitmo. When he left office, there were only 41 detainees left.  He transferred, traded or released 201 Gitmo detainees. Not a small number.

our roads are layed out so bad - so confusing. I notice new signage along 6th in the em x-d section that let you know you had to turn left ahead...but also the lane you were in ended in about 1o feet.  merge into bumper to bumper traffic.  to all those folks who scoot up that "free lane" and then expect to merge in without the wait - eat my exhaust.  to the folks that let them--'?

"Your richer than you think"


You don't even believe that desperate call for help.

Trumpism failed.

He's done.

Best get yourself some popcorn and get ready to watch the fall.

Clovis just withdrew after his grand jury testimony.

The net is drawing tighter and your pal Trump won't escape the net.


If one checks the dictionary for the meaning of "survivor" you will find it does not apply to the people being discussed in this piece.  It is high time the media stopped using "residential school survivor" and replaced with a more accurate term.  The native guilt industry will no doubt brand this suggestion as racism but that is what they do best.


Fowler talks about moral development, and appeals to "law" and "consistency" is less mature than a more nuanced view of what is good and what is evil.


Thanks... makes perfect sense.


Gigaba is revolting.


LOL@Chris, are you trying to tell us CBC is 'better' media?
More expensive, yes, better - now that is funny! Thanks for the weekend chuckle!


The mayor's contract illegalities have nothing to do with the Council Rules.  It's important to know those issues are very separate. the mayor $15,000 over and over again is complete circumventing the law and any public process to evade her spending limit.


And you don't think the Republicants wouldn't do anything different?  Hahaha


Andree...baloney.


"(either John Kasich or Mitt Romney)"

Kasich is just another Government Small Enough To Fit In Your Uterus creeper like Pence.


I doubt that.  He didn't say that and he posted his comment in an article about Comey and the written statement he released.


This is actually a good sign---of the hope of ending the boondoggle.  When the idea of "bringing in the private sector" to a public project is brought up, it's generally a desperate shot in the dark.  It's a stalling tactic while they try to think up more BS to stretch out this project until they're out of office.

According to the article, the researchers say that putting the project on hold is not a good idea---in other words, that's what our great leaders are considering because they have NO answers.  And what makes private ownership in this boond---er, public work look like a bad investment?:

"Under that model, known as “design-build-finance,” the private investors wouldn’t be paid back until the project is finished...."

Hey, if any of youse is looking for an investment as solid as this fine rail, but don't want to wait that long, I have an awesome bridge you can buy into.  Credit cards accepted, cash in plain brown envelopes preferred!


And there is also Section 35 of the Constitution:

35. (1) The existing aboriginal and treaty rights of the aboriginal peoples of Canada are hereby recognized and affirme
(2) In this Act, "aboriginal peoples of Canada" includes the Indian, Inuit and Métis peoples of Canada.
(3) For greater certainty, in subsection (1) "treaty rights" includes rights that now exist by way of land claims agreements or may be so acquired.
(4) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, the aboriginal and treaty rights referred to in subsection (1) are guaranteed equally to male and female persons.


Nope. I prefer the Norwailing.


isis still there is the result of nobama cutting and running


You are wrong. Taking millions from the Russians would be accepting emoluments from an enemy, collusion would be what ha happened, joining with the Russians to influence an American election. That I what Trump Jr. admits to having done.

What evidence do you have that the DNC colluded with Russia? There is no such evidence. Prove it, Twyford.

Who has told the lies? Trump & Co. Trump Jr. himself has now admitted to collusion with Russians to throw the election. Pay attention.

It is you who is not paying attention.

As usual, lacking intelligence, you use coarse insults. You should not be posting here. Clean up your act.


The turn lane is a huge improvement.


You said: "As cardinals, they have a duty to preach and to teach."
But only with humility, should they do so. Humility is the most becoming of all Virtues as it ATTRACTS others to one teaching not repels others as do those two prelates.


I wouldn't belive ANYTHING that US media "Says that any intelligence agency SAID" and icing on the cake, these days I wouldn't belive any information coming directly from an intelligence agency with all these Obama holdovers.  The credibility is gone and likely gone for 15 years or more.


"Prisons see drop in solitary confinement use as vulnerable groups granted immunity."

Vulnerable groups, such as the mentally ill and pregnant women, are NOT granted immunity from solitary confinement.. All that's happened is that Corrections Canada now has a new "policy" in place. It's the same as any employer having a policy in place, but one which it isn't obligated to follow due to law or labor contract. That policy may be there later today, or it may not. The policy may be followed, or it may not.

The Liberals could have easily included the policy's provisions in its recent legislative changes. The obvious reason why they didn't is because Corrections Canada intends to violate the policy, at least in some cases. So it's virtually assured that the mentally ill, pregnant women and other vulnerable inmates will still be sent to solitary confinement.

I applaud the BC Civil Liberties Association and the John Howard Society for continuing to challenge this inhumane practice.


And from this article, Catholics are to take what, exactly? (I suspect I can guess)

When every few years I find myself in London, UK, on a Sunday, I inevitably go to the Sung Eucharist at St. Paul's Cathedral (at 10:30 or 11:00 depending on the season, lasting almost exactly an hour). The texts are in beautiful English, the Ordinary sung by the cathedral choir from a composer such as Byrd or Britten, the hymns both ancient and modern sung with gusto, and gender balance always - when the main celebrant is male then the preacher will be female and vice versa. The Eucharist is celebrated under Christopher Wren's magnificent dome. We are welcomed as we enter and the celebrants greet each person as we leave. And one of the most international congregations anywhere! A sensitive interweaving of traditional and contemporary styles.

I think that one has to see the improvement in robotics and technology together with universally declining birth rates. Populations will be declining rapidly in just 30 years from now and in most advanced societies such as Europe, China and North America, population growth is only achieved by extending lifespans or immigration.

The human race has never worked as hard as it does today and we could also start receding toward a four day work week. None of this looks like a problem to me.

So by using the word "handouts" in regard to rural public education, I can only assume you believe all public schools in Alaska and around the country all get "handouts?" Rural Alaska is where ALL of Alaskas wealth comes from, we're getting the "handouts."


Ray Lau, when Da Bus was on strike, this is what happened.  Those who depended on Da Bus found a way to get to work through their friends or neighbors thus car pooling.  In many places, since buses were not occupying the right-hand lane, traffic actually were smoother.

1. If you hate black people you don't have t act racist towards all the black people in the world to be correctly labeled racist. That is a ridiculous bar.
2. Are you claiming that we have troops on the ground in all six countries, and in no other countries in the Middle east?


At least the rail will do something unlike the wall.  The rail will provide an alternate mode of transportation into town.  May not be the best but it is needed.  The wall is not.  That is just waste.  So Republican.


Business expenses are deductible whether incorporated or not. The issue is the ability to save hopefully for an adequate retirement. The maximum RRSP contributions will not provide for a retirement equivalent to a retired teacher or firefighter even for someone earning over $200, 000 unless they save additional funds in a non registered account.

So a doctor who starts earning an income at 30, pays off student debt by 35, really only starts saving additional retirement funds after 35 if they live below their means.

If they get sick they have zero income for 3 months until their long term disability insurance kicks in. This is self funded and costs 5-10 grand a year, and is not tax deductible.
Short term disability is too expensive so most professionals or business owners don't bother.

The income splitting provisions are reasonable for spouses who in most cases own half the corporations assets (in the event of a divorce)

Trudeau is out to lunch on these tax measures.

Sorry Heimel, you can't revise history to suit your bias.
The Confederacy was founded on the tenets of white supremacy,
Alexander Stevens, vice president of the Confederacy is quoted in documents:
" Our new government's foundations are laid, it's cornerstone rests, upon the great truth that the Negro is not equal to the white man, that slavery - subordination to the superior race - is his natural and normal condition."
Throughout the war, the protection of slavery had been and remained the central core of the Confederate purpose.


I know of an elderly homeless woman that has been missing, I normally see her all the time, and haven't seen her in some time, this story seems so vague in details and insensitive to the deseased. Just because they were homeless doesn't mean that  their life didn't matter, may he or she rest in peace, at least they are not suffering anymore. A bit more compassion, after all, he/she was someone's son or daughter, brother/ sister, aunt/uncle, ect. And deserve more than, some homeless person, or "decomposed body"


That's essentially what I am saying, Papa.
I think you missed the part where I espoused that in the U.S. "Law abiding citizens could keep guns." ... referring to citizens not in a militia the same as in Switzerland.

170k for a consultant company to tell the brain trust of Eugene what to do.
Hire a consultant to tell them what to do with the idiotic flying people at eugenes international airport.
Between the two that is close to 200k wasted because Eugene voters vote for liberal idiots not qualified for anything except?
200k imagine what the mission could do with that . Does anyone have a good idea how much local so called leadership spends on consultants each year? If anyone knows how to find a summary of Eugene and lame county and  4J expenditures for consultants last few years please pass it on .


The reason private timberland owners have locked gates is because they tired of having plastic bags of used diapers,  all the broken appliances,  stolen cars set on fire,  and dead women's bodies dumped on their land.  Whole logging jobs are shut down for days as the investigation slowly examines the area,  and everyone who used the road gets questioned.  Easier to lock the gates,  and keep them locked,  and like in all aspects of communal life in America,  the many are unjustly penalized by the actions of the few.


Maybe Gardner cares and knows he needs to really - in depth - study this new bill and make sure it will help Americans. He has to get it right. Although this one is shorter than ACA's, it is extremely complicated as was ACA.

The CBO predictions - well, they have been wrong year by year to date with ACA and their prediction errors have been very costly to us taxpayers. I don't begrudge them at all, they just are 0 for 7 so far in that prediction arena.


Of coarse it is about politics, she is running for the highest political office in the world! But be honest, discount the double standards applied to women, and lay out Hillary's ethical standards against Trump, who is three times married and proudly cheating in every relationship, screwed countless business partners, has a couple of thousand civil lawsuits including current fraud charges, and who is dishonest? And who is the elitist?


"You mean like you did? And encouraged others to on your behalf?"

These things are not truthful.


It's not just hurricanes causing disaster.  It's fires in the West, but if you follow the usual news sources, no one knows.  Finally a national publication has an article on the fires in the West:  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/fires-in-the-west-hurricanes-down-south_us_59b2db6fe4b0dfaafcf7dccc?ncid=inblnkushpmg00000009

Montana currently has major fires still out of control totaling over one million acres.  I have spent that last two months watching two DC10's fly out of Helena with fire retardant for a major fire fifty miles from here.  There are only three such planes in the US.  They weren't mentioned at all until the fire in LA.  We have lost two fire fighters. The Department of Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke and our own Senator Steve Daines came to Montana and blamed these fires on 'Environmental Lawyers'.  They totally ignored the Pine Beetle kill that has ravaged our forests for years because our winters are too warm to kill them. Colorado Springs folks know this too well.

Why would anyone think that extra caution would be a bad thing. The dems are playing a very high stakes poker game with their refusal to attempt to protect the US citizens.

If there is an attack that could have been prevented from the travel ban the dems will not be able to recover from it. No the same risk as if there is not an attack.


I didn't give them an honorable mention at all.  My point was simple: that Trump is so outrageous lately that EVEN Fox News has things to say that aren't in favor of him.

Where did I suggest, even remotely, that I believe that 2/3 of Americans are racist?  Are you just making stuff up to get angry about?


Anyone who believes that Jason Kenny "...thinks Alberta should strike back by stopping equalization payments to Quebec." must have some cognitive disorder. That's not how equalization works and as a former federal cabinet minister to make such a vacuous statement is worrisome in the extreme.


Eh.  I've never even MET John Tetpon and I'm proud of him.  He stands up and tells the truth.  And these in-denial, oh-so-SUPERIOR white folks who go into a panic whenever anyone even suggests they're less than perfect hate him for it and screech that he's a WAAAAAAAAAY-cist!  Yeah, proud of John.  You, not so much.


It's "there". You musta be one stupid haole.


Planning regs also allowed the Capstone folks to get away with not putting stores on the Willamette side of the project--thus deadening two blocks on what should be a key thoroughfare.  Honestly, given some of what is permitted in this town you have to wonder how much of the Planning Dept. budget actually ends up achieving the opposite of what our goals are.


Germany doesn't want them.


Put the fat boy into solitary and don't let him out until he confesses. Need ID's of the other two and motive. Every human has a conscience and a breaking point. Read Crime and Punishment. Oh yeah, that rape charge. I think the victims were angry and at the same time afraid the cops weren't going to investigate the crime seriously. So they blew the story up to a more serious one. Lots of people do that in robbery or burglary cases to enable them to make inflated loss claims. Only when the detective sits them down and questions them more thoroughly they get confused and flustered. Trying to remember two stories is not as easy as it seems in the movies. My curious mind wants to ask, "What exactly was stolen?" Was it something illegal and expensive? They must have thought, "Now how we gonna call the cops and complain we wuz robbed of something illegal?" So the rape charge. Now that they caught one the cops can ask his side of the story. Uh oh. Somebody fibbed.


Dishonest is pretending to be someone you are not. And its an undeniable fact that Cayetano folks delayed the rail by a year.


Maybe he is telling the truth. She might really be a choking enthusiast and got some old bruises from other previous customers. Maybe she made her own throat marks to scare him for a better pay before she calls the cops and accuses him of abuse of a female. He is panting because he is afraid they will blame him. Arguing for 10-15 minutes? Did the listener get up and open the door to hear which door it came from? Did the eavesdropper call the front desk to inform them of the disturbance? Did the front desk go up to investigate. It's the Hilton, of course. Next time you get into trouble like this poor fellow CLAM UP. You have the right to say nothing under protection of the 5th Amendment. That's what civil rights is all about. In an extreme state of confusion one cannot think or remember clearly and a low level cop will try to solve this case to get a feather in his cap. If you want to talk ask for the chief homicide investigator. If a cop gives you a stink look like you're guilty fork h


Kidnapping was made a serious crime in the wake of abduction of children for ransom and often their subsequent murder.  In this case, the "kidnapped" party was likely detained ten minutes and then asked to or allowed to get out of the car.  While the kidnapping charge is levied, it is certainly not what legislators had in mind when the relevant statutes were written.


Empowering the DOT isn't in the best interest of people, the problem being State agencies have the disconcerting habit of deciding the statutes regarding standards and code compliance don't apply to them. Dot has a building maintenance crew that likes to play contractor but without engineering or inspection. So then there are suddenly mysterious roof fan fires due to motors wired wrong and now the State wants to empower these people?, how about hiring qualified people and pay them a living wage instead.


A whole career after covering up for a politician.  If you were real investigators you would know where this career was born.


As Sherman David says, the palestinians could have had a state in 1936 (Peel Commission, 1948 (UN Partition Plan), 2000 (Camp David), 2008 (Olmert Peace Plan), any many an occasion in between.

They pay the price for their continued rejectionism or their outright desire for genocide against the Jews (see the Hamas Charter, or go back to the Grand Mufti al Husseini's alliance with Hitler).  If the palestinians ever change, they won't be "oppressed by bureaucracy".


That is not even remotely what was written nor would those actions have any place in Canadian society.


But will she design a gay wedding cookie?


I hope Anna McKinnon has more time to spend on repealing daylight savings time.  That's always a useful way to drag out the session and not do one damn thing, Jesus how do we get stuck with these ass hats.


Damn Mongolians.


One aspect rarely mentioned as part of the oversll strategy is the infrastructure investment in repairing and expanding transit. More people can start using transit (and/or buying smaller, fuel efficient  vehicles). Also forthcoming is subsidy program planned to help people increase the energy efficiency of their homes. In other words, people can choose to lower their future carbon taxes by changing  their behaviours.


Just because you are older than me doesn't make you more knowledgeable...I know my history and I know it well enough to kno that the apartheid flag is a symbol of hate and oppression...all symbols that represent colonialism and apartheid are exactly that...do you think it would be fair for people in Armenia to have monuments that praise the 'glory of the Ottoman empire'?


Yes.  Put that option on the table for discussion.


Decker said in an interview Wednesday. "These people have nowhere to go."

Since they clearly find a liquor store no problem there is always someplace to go. Some are just choosing Brown Jug over an apartment to spend their cash. Booze isn't free. Leave them alone to live or die by their choices.

ACLU could provide budget seminars if they really are sincere about helping.


Please tell me you are kidding.   All world events in some way could then be tied to 'founders of the Islamic State'.

You could claim Gaddafi is a founder of ISIS considering his autocratic/brutal/terrorist supporting reign.    Take the time and read a quick Biography of saint Gaddafi.

The Assad government has not been killing its own citizens?   At best it's a draw between factions but I'd wager the body count for Assad/Russia in being to look like the chain saw versus Paul Bunyan and his Ox.    For god's sake please don't try to justify either.


He might be (or was yesterday) shopping for a house in LA, but if I were him,  I'd get on a JAL out of LAX tonite to Narita and spend the winter over there taking offers.   Hope his high speed internet works, because,  I would think the offers will be coming in at the speed of dialup service.


He didn't say that we had done it- he said that it still needs to be done. Some efforts have been made- some are ongoing.


Correct about the general inaccuracy of this years crop of polls. The LA Times/USC poll was spot on with it's numbers which were always 4-6 points higher for Donald Trump than the polls conducted by the rest of the media.  For this they were condemned as being inaccurate or simply being outliers.  Of course you had to be reading the LA Times or Breitbart to have heard about it.


Correct, my first thought is that I wonder what their recommendation is for a solution. As it is they seem to propagate their own existence. It is about the time the homeless situation is resolved.  Those who need mental and medical help need to be treated.  Defending their "right" to be homeless is not doing the homeless any favors. Shorten rail by 40 feet; that should provide provide enough money for trial programs, and not for the attorneys who are not solving anything.


The difference is the I can't do anything to change the actions of the Past (I never supported the Iraq war.  I did my best to humiliate Democratic candidatesn- who 'authorized' Pres Bush to conduct the war - during the Iowa primaries).   I can vote for the Future of our nation.   Trump has neither the personal values or the professional skills that I would expect in the President of the United States.

Each may vote as they please.    I will not vote for Trump.  I've not hidden that fact from anybody.


Your statement that the Tongass has 17 million acres may be true, but is not accurate if intended to imply that much land is available for timber harvest.  The 17 million acres includes all the mountaintops and glaciers in the Tongass.  The potentially suitable lowest land is 2+ million acres.  If you eliminate the acreage  of forest land  located within land use designations (LUDs) that do not allow timber harvest, etc, you get to an existing timber base- including second growth, I believe- of approximately 600,000 acres.  A far cry from 17,000,000 acres comprising the total forest.

Of course, the fact that Ruse writes for Breitbart and Crisis means he should simply be ignored, even when he gets noticed. There are voices on the left who are saying very provocative things on the subject but don’t have a sponsoring organization. Write about us.


"God has given Trump authority to take out Kim Jong Un." ...

Messianic complex is scary.

Federal budget takes high school student council activist approach to economy


The headline is indeed wrong, but it should read “Criticizing Trump isn’t in Canada’s interest _ why don’t the clueless Liberals see that?” Just yesterday, Stéphane Dion, the man Justin Trudeau has made our leading diplomat in Europe, said: “In its own way, the European continent is facing the same challenges as us, ensuring that openness and inclusion triumphs over exclusion and xenophobia”. Take that, Donald Trump! Trudeau hasn’t created and publicized a list of Canadian demands for a revitalized NAFTA, as he should have. He hasn’t done anything but antagonize The Donald. He’s the incompetent leader of an incompetent government.


If you think all the wackos are on the other side . . . you are the problem


Such a wonderful cartoon character.  Is it based on anyone?


Oh well then, as long as Trudeau thinks it's ethical to accept gifts from lobbyists, I guess it's OK.


Cutting state spending will increase for sale and for rent signs. That's not to say we shouldn't do it, but you  seem oblivious to the fact that cutting state spending will deepen the recession.


What grip does he use in the washroom? Does he show "Little Donald" who is boss?  Shaking vigorously. Or swinging him around.


"The overwhelming majority of Canadians agree with Leitch in terms of her proposal for a stronger screening processes..."
Where is your evidence?  There was one poll that said a majority (of those questioned) were concerned about immigration being too high.  That is a far cry from an "overwhelming majority" agreeing with Leitch's cultural values test.
Abacus reports a plurality of millennials agrees with the Liberals approach to immigration, that millennials feel not enough is being done to support minorities in Canada.  Sure doesn't sound like they agree with Leitch.


You disrobed him?

He is a well-known advocate for originalism and textualism; laws mean what they say and the Constitution means what the adopters intended.

I would guess to say "oh gee, it was an elderly person taken advantage of", but hey, i'm an elderly person and this screams scam.  I love these phone calls - I ask questions, interrupt to ask a second question, interrupt to ask the first question again.  if they haven't hung up by then - I put my phone that is on speaker phone about 10 feet away and yell questions at them, saying i'm multitasking or doing something else.  i'll tell them (don't ask) to hang on  a second and have a pretend conversation with someone, repeating , kinda, what the person on the phone says, ask them to repeat and then interrupt again, going back to my pretend convo..  if they're STILL on the line .... I'll just tell them "ok, love you, bye bye..."  oh, asking "WHAT?" a lot helps too.  it's a healthy, fun way to spend a couple a minutes and waste some jerk's time...


Most of us in Canada learned that with our first snowsuit!


Thanks Rick.  This is shameful.  But who can blame hunters for monopolizing Alaska's game management.  They actually have a point in that they pay users fees and those that don't…tough.
That might change if the state imposes any tax on it's citizens that contributes to the general fund and thus management of game. If I start paying taxes, I will certainly demand a bigger voice in game management.

The state is dominated by old and new guard sport and trophy hunting interest, baked in the antiquated game ethics of the 50's, To think that someone with serious game violation is not given a criminal record and his gun toys taken away is really sad.  This sound more like the Slob Hunter's Advisory Panel.


All the best on your path.


There doesn't seem to be anything in the Liberal proposals that would prevent back benchers from fronting the fundraisers,  at which the PM just happens to be there (wink wink nudge nudge)... and arrange for the money to be funneled to wherever the party wants it to go. That would eliminate the publishing of details, the restrictions on venues and the requirement of press presence.


I know you understand the difference between weather forecasting and global climate change forcasting Motley.   What's your point here?

" Alaska Supreme Court has ruled that convicts have a due process right to at least have their petitions forwarded to the governor."

In the absence of a review process, the petition should be sent to the governor. Instead, the petitions were put in a folder. This is a violation of the law.

My man was cheating on me since last year with his co_worker, i was upset and confused on what to do, i tried my best to win his heart back but all effort was wasted until on 21 of this February when i came across a spiritual man called DR MACK, i saw a many post about his wonderful work and i contact him via his Email and explained to him and he asked for some information which i gave him and he told me that my heart desire will be granted just in 3 days, i was skeptical but i gave me the chance to help me, to my surprise my Boyfriend called me 5 time to tell that he is so sorry and that he wants me back and wants to marry me, everything happened like a dream but i am so happy that i have my boyfriend back and we are planning to get married soon, if you want to Ex back please don't hesitate to contact ( dr_mack at yahoo . com ;).....


In another alarming display of rewriting history and general lunacy, Trump's Housing and Urban Housing secretary Ben Carson, told HUD employees during a speech that slaves were "immigrants" who came to America "looking to pursue prosperity and happiness.”

I kid you not.

Sullivan and Murkowski both voted to confirm Carson,

they willfully gave their full endorsement to a man who is literally brain-dead.


All park visitors whose motor vehicles are not registered in Boulder County must possess either a daily or annual permit to park on Flagstaff Mountain, in Gregory Canyon, or at Doudy Draw, Flatirons Vista, Greenbelt Plateau, Marshall Mesa, South Boulder Creek West and South Mesa Trailheads.

Huh, so it's OK to discriminate because the "outsiders" can park farther away. I see your inane logic.  So your initial comment is dead wrong.  Nothing feels more welcoming by charging you according to your vehicle registration status.

I know you believe that the Donald is draining the swamp but he isn't.  I believe you are wrong about Obama hiring more government workers than any president.  I believe your hero G W has hired more workers.  The Donald is making the swamp 10 times bigger with all his hires from Wall street and retired Generals.

Richard Johnson 693, You dropped the weekly rail tax from $4.80 to $2.83, ostensibly for affordability reasons.  But for a family of 4 with both parents working, the weekly rail tax would be $5.66.  Over 15 years, that would amount to more than $4,000.  Explain how that family of 4 is supposed to live comfortably and pay the rail tax when they earn less than $60,000 annually.  Then explain how seniors on fixed incomes who cut the pills they are taking in half because they can't afford to pay the full cost of their prescription drugs -- explain how they are supposed to come up with the rail tax.  Then explain how poor families are supposed to come up with the rail tax when they can't even come up with lunch money for their kids who go to school.  It might be easy for you to pay the tax, but it's not easy for everyone.


"They are among 74 cases of potential voter fraud uncovered by the Secretary of State’s Office during a multi-state review of data from the election."  So, 4 were Republicans, guess that leaves 70 as Democrats????


Now you are being a racist making fun of my Native American name. At no time can you bring an intelligent debate to this board. When you are confronted with facts that debunked the crap you post, you always run like a coward from those facts and resort to grade school insults. Now you make fun of my name just like racist bigots. You take being a gutless coward to an art level. That's what is so despicable about liberals like you. It's bad enough you are void of intelligence but you have no shame too.


Back in the day, women could not vote, there were hangings downtown, wives and children were beat, kids got corporal punishment, higher education was grade eight and families were large as a form of free labor.  All I am saying is, things were different.  So to the first nations people, don't forget most everyone was treated like an SOB...unless you were rich.


He smokes more than cigarettes. He's an embarrassment to the USA.


The word "denier" as you use it is an abusive slur and constitutes hate speech.

The only agreement is that of the politicians since any decent scientist will tell you the science is always an open book.

How many professional, peer-reviewed papers, and technical publications relating to the issue have you read? Please enlighten me.......

Can any liberal image the collective outrage had this been done while Obama was president or even now that he is out of office? The D List comedian would never work another day in their life.

The fact that CNN has not come out immediately saying they will not allow her back for NYE and any other TV show which hosted her shows doing the same shows how bad the double standard really is.

There is no place for this no matter who the president is, no matter how you disagree with them. The tepid response from many democrats is only to cover their bases. If they were serious they would demand she is fired from every gig she has.

So he's an "idiot" for thinking that, being both conservative and male, he'd get a fair shake in a tech company rife with political grandstanding about tolerance and inclusion? He's like Harvard's Larry Summers. The latter suggested, to an audience of female scientists, that one hypothesis explaining the dearth of top-tier females in STEM fields is female choice. For daring to say that, the female scientists got hysterical, worked to get him fired, and added evidence that females are thin-skinned, emotional, unable to tolerate different viewpoints, and lack leadership grit.

The vast majority of the open long interest in the Canadian dollar is by trend followers and other momentum based investors.  Models drive the size of position, not sentiment.  The Canadian dollar is technically attractive over most time periods up to 200 trading days that cover most of the models.

To suggest as Mr. Osborne does that there is more to it than that is a simple acknowledgement that he does not understand the structure of the market.


I am no one's consultant, and have absolutely no idea how to pay for anything, but I am embracing a different vision. It requires the city to be its own master, and not give away the farm to Lane County.
Sell the entire city hall vacant lot to the County for a bunch, buy the entire EWEB property for a lot of money, offset that with the funds from the city hall site sale, move the entire city assortment of divisions to the EWEB site, sell 25% of that site to a developer.
Put up a big sign that the City of Eugene is here, right here, by this beautiful river. Have a party. Fix the bike path along the river. Hold a Eugene Celebration on the EWEB site.
Go back to work.
Would you rather work in a cramped downtown site, or where you could gaze out on the river? Imagine hundreds of city workers having lunch on the patio, and imagine having a hundred parking spaces for visitors.
Beauty, parking, office room, everyone in one area...

"You do not speak for all white people either"
Good point Icon, it seems a bunch of my fellow white folks are envious of the terrific  athletic ability of those black NFL athletes.
As far as disrespecting our flag and patriotic rituals,  this Vet says Trump himself  was disgusting when he refused to honor the  rituals of "retreat" at an army base recently.  But what would one expect from a draft dodger who would ridicule John McCain, a true military hero?


People don't seem to realize that thanks to interest rates at generational lows and foreign speculation and money laundering, Canada has had the biggest and longest bull run in housing in many people's lifetimes. The long term average rate of real estate appreciation has historically been something like 2-3%/ year. In Vancouver and TOronto, housing is severely overvalued and anyone who bought in the last few years if they expect things to appreciate like they have in the past 10 years, I think they are in for a big shock. Average house prices in these cities have far  exceeded even average professional salaries, so if prices continue to climb, you have to ask yourself who will be living in these cities. Vancouver has already changed for the worst, and it looks as though TO is headed in that direction.


This is a post without any political comments.
I have some health issues that make working difficult. So my income is kinda all over the place. Obviously if I could hold a steady job this would be different.
I signed up for a plan under ACA. It was expensive and not very good...I would still owe quite a bit if I went to the doctor.
That's not the problem. The problem is my monthly premium was based on this year's tax returns. In other words,  I got a discount based on my anticipated income that would change based on my tax returns. No non accountant would ever want to deal with that. Imagine getting an IRS bill for $12,000. I will take the penalty.


Yes, I know several "Cr"avalho's!  They dont like being corrected....


Did Jesus choose St. Paul as His Apostle or not?

You have a problem with the canon of the New Testament, which even Protestants accept.


Kunia, What is appalling about the Trump executive order is that it widens the net from those who have committed serious crimes to those who have no criminal record.  It is pulling undocumented mothers away from their young children who are US citizens by birth and leaving them without any support.


Therrien is not going to get dumped.

Last fall, I predicted that Pacioretty would be the new scapegoat/"cancer in the room"

How you people think is amazing!  In what are republicans cow-towing?  For your information we Democrats believe in laws and (especially) the Constitution.  And how has Governor Hickenlooper fooled anyone?  He has met our every expectation.


No, anyway it is by Shekhinah that Jesus was conceived, not the Father.  The scientific explanation is parthenogenesis, but for a male child that requires an intersexed mother.


Rich is sooo relative today: Anybody who has a little 1 or 2 Bedroom Shack in Toronto and happen to live in there since the 60ties is now a Real Estate Millionaire, even if she or he is on fixed income and just scrapes by, because selling and thereafter renting would most likely feel like another lifelong mortgage, let alone if the talked down inflation starts to really blast out of the starting gate.
Why not install a 5 year salary freeze for the people on the sunshine list in various governments and disallow squirreling money away into tax havens for the corporate welfare club we all maintain on little or medium income?
What about cutting government programs which are not absolute necessary?
The really rich are so few, that governments by intent always will tax-hit on the working middle class and asset rich retirees, as there are so many of us.


Justin Trudeau is very big on talk.  In fact, you could say that he is engaging in a form of brainwashing.  Canadians constantly hear Justin repeat the same rhetoric over and over again, ie.  the liberals are working for the middle class and those working hard to join it;  the liberals are lowering taxes for the middle class and raising them for the wealthiest 1%.  He now really needs to "walk the talk" on the tax fairness issue.


Win or lose, we all need to support the Warriors.  Despite the Stadium Authority's poor service and dilapidated facility, don't let that stop you from coming out to support UH's players and coach Rolo.  Go bows.  Go Rolo.

Obama used executive orders ALL the time!!
was he also a dictator?

also only certain things can be changed or put into place by executive order. For instance NAFTA can't be killed with executive orders.

Brush up on your civics before you use words like "dictator"


Your point? That takes zero away that his BAC was 0.2


I just don't get the meaning of lethal defensive weapons... This is so ridiculous. Defensive weapons are basically non lethal. Washington is trying to sell the BS with a nice package. These are offensive weapons that will be used in a military operation to retake some territory. That is to say an offensive... How can people blindly buy in? The idea is simply to wear by inflicting more casualties. The usual war... Call things as they ought to be called and don't use superfluous adjectives. Weapons are lethal and can be used for offensive and defensive purpose.
So, I would rephrase this: "US military compound is actively lobbying to sell US taxpayers weapons to be delivered to Ukraine in a bid to ensure more losses among pro Russian insurgents and expedite the war before winter". Sounds good, no?


I agree, ATF.  Since Jesus came to that particular culture on that particular time, of course, He would be male.  But his message has nothing to do with his maleness.  Neither should our response to Him.
