"In other words, there was little of the bipartisan outrage that greeted President Richard Nixon when he fired special prosecutor Archibald Cox in 1973, leading to the resignations that became known as the "Saturday Night Massacre." Early Wednesday morning, Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn, a former judge and state attorney general, linked favorably to an op-ed about Democratic hypocrisy. (It ran in the Wall Street Journal, which like Fox News is owned by Rupert Murdoch's NewsCorp.)".

Of course there was little "bipartisan"  outrage.  There is little bipartisanship in the country thanks to the GOP and Putrumpski.  The GOP is backing a traitor and anyone who doesn't see that is blind.

I watched Cronyn get his ass handed to him by Sally Yates in the hearing.  He didn't have a prayer going up against a smart, experienced, principled woman of integrity. He's about as partisan and a vitriolic good ole boy, misogynistic, old white man as they come.

To get the surgery, candidates are screened psychologically. Again, no moral issue. Medical practice ethical issues? Sure. But nothing that deserves the cultural response it gets save for its relationship to gay rights, even though it is not a gay thing. Both issues cover such small groups of people (as opposed to child poverty, which is huge), the wisdom of addressing them at all bespeaks scapegoating, not concerns for the moral development of either trans or gay people. They provide an enemy within to distract from real problems, like capitalistic exploitation of both workers and consumers.


What terminology would you use?  "skepticism" implies the existence of a plausible competing model, and it doesn't.   Climate change "deniers" are not providing evidence that the observed change is natural. They simply deny that it's human, or that it's occurring at all.


Nothing was more important to Jesus Christ than treating disfavored minorities like s**t.


Shameful action against relatives and friends of those accused in China, but this is still commonplace. Punishing relatives of the accused is inexcusable and supposedly against Chinese law. However Chinese law is meant to protect the government and the CCP, not its citizens. We Canadians should not tolerate such human rights transgressions if and when an extradition program is discussed with China.


(Part one of two)  Results from the St. Leo University Polling Institute in September show that a majority of Americans, over 56 percent, greatly trust their police departments and officers, while about one-fifth to one-quarter have little or no trust, according to an Oct. 9 press release by the university.—James Dearie  That between 20 and 25% of the people have little or no trust in their police departments.  That is terrible.  Referring to Juda and Jerusalem, but in this case referring to ordinary citizens, “I will avenge their blood (i.e. the reason they are not trusting the police), and not leave it unpunished.  The LORD dwells in Zion” (Joel 4:21), i.e., in the Faithful.


Many cities and corporations said they will move ahead with energy conservation anyway.  So why did we need a Paris Accord?  We have done more than any country in the world.  Why do the taxpayers of the U.S. have to send $3 billion a year to countries like China and India who are not required to do anything for years?  The Paris Accord has no, repeat, no penalties for not following the terms of the Accord.  It's an honor system.  Can you believe it?  An honor system!  Many advised Trump to stay in the agreement and just not follow it rather than leaving it.   What a joke.  One of the worst Secretary's of State, Kerry, said kids will have asthma because of it.  HA! HA! HA! CNN said we have abdicated our role as the world's leader.  FakeNews.com and it's many wholly owned subsidiaries are throwing a massive tantrum which is hilarious to watch.  The scary thing is, many people believe them.  The world is pissed because the dumb, rich kid, just got smart.

Did I miss something or did this article not mention any numbers related to foreign buyers (which, should be foreign cash, not the buyer, but I digress...) Any word on how the tax has been applied thus far, or how many purchases will have the tax applied, are the numbers changing at all on how many "foreign buyers" are flooding the market?

But seriously, why aren't they tracking the origin of the money instead of the buyer?

My point was meant to be that the writer is basically calling Trump a liar and then using logic that an EPA job is the same as as a production job that produces energy to heat homes., etc. Faulty logic used to call him a liar. Even if the extreme where you would try to argue they are of similar value, a reasonable person could see the logic rather than to demonize him for
"Rhetoric" rather than "facts". A job that produces energy far outweighs one that does not. The regulator lives off of a percentage of the producer's efforts. Thereby, like a leech, sucking the lifeblood from its host, who eventually turns from healthy to unhealthy as more and more leeches pile on to the feeding trough.


Outsider, your assumptions are incorrect; I am doing all I can personally to reduce my carbon footprint, from family gardening, raising chickens, and cycling to a family electric car - a 2012 Volt, which is amazing and averages over 220 mpg. Your dismissal by hyperbole and attacks on the messengers' credibility is a sign of flawed logic. There are now 1 million electric vehicles on the road and we cannot move in that direction fast enough. For those who dismiss electric, and the solar, hydro, wind future, simply study EVs and open your mind to the possibilities.  We need both individual and institutional efforts to shift the current bias (and massive subsidies) for dirty, expensive fossil fuels toward a cleaner, economically vibrant renewable energy future.

And you support tRump who never served in the military and has the balls to brag that his bedroom escapades were his Vietnam; he mocked Senator McCain for being a war hero, and then goes on a two-week rant bashing away at Mr. and Mrs. Khan's purple heart son who gave his life for his fellow soldiers, and caps this past week off by flirting with the idea that Hillary should be assassinated?  Is that what you want, Traut?  And you don't even raise a question of how tRump intends to make America great again.  I'll burst your bubble, Traut, and clue you in that anything that comes out of tRump's mouth is nothing but a campaign slogan.


Fortunately for the rest of us, Trump and Rand are the opposite. Trump promised a solid gold plan, then tried to hand us a gilded turd. Rand promised to agree to certain conditions but then moved the goal posts. The result? The Republicans have not destroyed the ACA yet. Rand's right. If they destroy it, they will own it.

They knew or should have known it was going to happen when they invited him. But it doesn't seem they made any efforts to minimize Trump's offensiveness. It probably would have been wasted effort to ask Trump to stay on message or at least keep the self-backpats to a minimum but at least it would have provided some rhetorical CYA. Nor do I give them a pass for their appeal to tradition. If there is one defining characteristic that can be said about Trump's administration is that it breaks from traditional norms.

Lets start with the state funds used to keep the airports, Anchorage and Deadhorse operating.   All those traveling to and from the slope are using them and paying nothing to the state coffers.   We subsidize the Alaska Railroad and the highways that brings materials to Fairbanks; plus the cost of the roads to the slope.  The port facilities where supporting materials arrive for the slope.   Without all of these items  there  there would be no jobs.

" In fact, the entire “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” protest was based on a lie. Michael Brown did not have his hands up when he was shot in Ferguson, Mo."

Perhaps, but the final kill shot was straight down through the top of Brown's head, a fact the cop lied about in his testimony to the grand jury. Normally, when a potential suspect lies to the grand jury, there will be charges brought so that the truth can be sorted out in a trial. But the grand jury process in Ferguson was obviously a sham run by the DA, designed to get the cop off the hook. And that is the problem. The PROCESS of justice was denied, so people, especially minorities, can't trust the cops or the entire legal justice system. And that is a condition they were very used to in Ferguson, as evidenced by MANY examples of police targeting blacks there with no repercussions and no justice.

When will Putin withdraw his military from Ukrainian soil?

When will Putin announce compensation for the destruction of infrastructure in Ukraine by his military?

When will he announce reparations to Ukraine for the thousands of Ukrainians his military has killed?


Yes.  It is sad because there does need to be more policy prescriptions to help especially with the opiod addiction and job training.  Trump gave them a 2 minute hate and some convenient scapegoats rather than real prescriptions to help such communities.


Skeexix, you are clearly a very wise and wonderful person.


"Prayers for the families in Quinhagak today. 3 heroin overdoses, very serious," Bethel resident Gerry Graves posted Tuesday"
   So, how are those prayers working out? Why didn't the Almighty stop those overdoses?
So archaic and selfish to think prayers are the ultimate fix for everything. It's a placebo to fool the one who prays. I might as well throw some table salt over my left shoulder while I'm at it. Do something real, folks.

What on earth does "degense of jer jrto" mean?  I mean, if you actually know, of course......

As to the rest of your comment?  Nonsense, as usual.  I notice you don't address the issues raised by my post, as usual....just spin what you think I said - and as always, you have spun it incorrectly.

Here's a thought.  Why don't you let me speak for myself?  I actually am well able to....and then you won't have to try to explain what you obviously have no clue about....and you won't be forced to stretch credulity.

There is also the issue of special prosecutors.  From what I remember they were created when there was evidence of a problem as with the Watergate break-in.  From what I have read, there is no evidence of collusion, it is just being looked for.  What there is evidence of is repeated leaking of classified documents. I wonder if that should have a special prosecutor.


Had Senator Beyak stuck to the subject that she was supposed to speak to...(the increasing over-representation of indigenous women in Canadian prisons) she might have avoided all this press.  But she wandered all over the place, talking about residential schools, the Langevin Block, Mohawk Chief Bryant and his slave ownership in the 1800's, and even went overtime with her speech....twice.

She clearly demonstrated why the old way of appointing senators was wrong....unless we want to see a senate with an average IQ less than flowering plants.

"Then why, one might ask, have children in Waimea been sickened by pesticide drift from neighboring GE test fields?"

Because it wasn't pesticide drift, and you have produced zero, exactly zero evidence, to demonstrate that.  You've merely asserted it as fact because in your mind, if you believe something, magically it becomes true and everyone else should believe in it too.

What we really should be talking about is the fact that the "Center for Food Safety" is actually a political lobbying organization and not an "educational" non-profit.  Your primary purpose is to influence legislation and politicians -- let's just be honest about that fact for once in your life.

I'm all for more transparency, but I think it should work both ways.  You should be more transparent about the lack of evidence to support your beliefs rather than exaggerating it.  You claim residents are being "poisoned" but haven't produced any evidence to that effect.  You're lying to the public.


I am a Markham resident. I can tell you that 9.1% is understated by a couple of orders of magnitude in our area (Unionville). I would not be surprised if it were closer to 50-60%.

For years Markham Council members have tried to debunk the claims that offshore investors are causing the real estate frenzy. The position of developers is well known and our council has always favoured developers in these debates. I am glad that some facts are being collected but I hope they will not be distorted by sloppy reporting by the media (previously announced 4.7%). I would encourage the G&M to dig deeper to understand this data and not just parrot what the Province releases in a Press Release. Ask questions please.

The aftermath certainly has been.

Because of the nutter for whom you voted, we're on the verge of nuclear war with his Korean counterpart. Our allies have to hold their collective noses in Trump's presence in order to be able to stomach him; our enemies hate us more than ever and the rest of the world rightly thinks we're complete idiots.  Health care for millions is threatened, social security & Medicare are threatened, our educational system is threatened; our very way of life is threatened by the nihilist installed by his equally deluded Chicken Little freaks. If you think people are enjoying the 24/7 anxiety caused by the nutter in the White House, you're sadly mistaken.


Gosh, how did humanity ever survive long enough to make it to someone writing Genesis?  We're talking thousands of years here.

".. 34 states that already have ... one thing in common-- lower taxpayer cost and better early childhood literacy than Alaska."  You know what else they have in common? No wild Polar bears!

So much for the implication of correlation.  Nice try Bob - actually it was a pretty flimsy try. Have a Koch and a smile.

Olrun Horde--

Just because "evil" oil companies have picked up the tab for state spending levels that would otherwise require the highest state income taxes AND highest state sales taxes in the US, doesn't mean we need to increase our property taxes, that are already among the highest in the US.

According to the latest data from the nonpartisan Tax Foundation, Anchorage is in the 91st percentile of highest property taxes in the US, when local property tax payments are compared to local median income (a pretty good proxy for the difference in cost of living between communities).

Darryl Freeman-- Waiau chief on parole, making restitution --
http://archives.starbulletin.com/1999/12/22/news/whatever.html

Star-Bulletin, 1999: “Question: What ever happened to Darryl Freeman, the former Waiau battalion fire chief sentenced in 1993 to state and federal prison terms involving convictions for theft, firearms violations, tax evasion, mail fraud and racketeering to defraud insurance companies with false claims of stolen cars? Why was his house not confiscated as his sentencing indicated?

Answer: Freeman was paroled on his state term April 24, 1996, and was released from his federal sentence on Oct. 4 this year.  "He is under supervision with us and serving a term of supervised release," said Betty Taylor, chief U.S. probation officer, District of Hawaii.


Not all Canadian writing is at the level that one would want to use for our students.  I find that we have an unrealistic perspective when it comes to some of our authors.  Some are excellent (Alice Munro, Mistry, Urqhart etc), some not so much.  Timeless universal writing like Shakespeare is essential.
The curriculum should offer a variety of genre, time periods, and the best quality of writing.

Since there is an opportunity to offer an opinion about this weather forecast, I thought I'd take it.  Heck, my opinion is worth something, right? Right?
While the fog was expected to burn off at 10:00 AM, we never had ANY fog. How do I "feel" about that? Disappointed in the accuracy. Happy with the sun.
The high of today was predicted at 61 degrees but the actual now is 65. Again, disappointing forecast. Happy with outcome.
Given the failed forecasts, how can I believe the prediction for tomorrow? This shakes my entire confidence in the RG and by logical extension, predictions of climate change. After all, are not meteorologists really just near-term climatologists who are paid to create "fear" that we'll have fog all the way to 10 AM? And if they can't get the day's high correct, how can these short term climatologists predict global warming? My friends did not predict fog and don't predict climate change. Are we going to trust the educated elite or the people we trust? (satire)

Why are you so against common sense police oversight and reasonable rules of engagement? Police in the United States are far more deadly than their counterparts in other industrialized nations. There seems to be lack of education and training. We need more of both. As for accountability from the "bad guy", listen to what you are saying! Of course the police should be more accountable than the bad guy. It is a major difference between the two. Police are (or should be )  held to a higher standard.

It would make more sense to revisit the controversial stock option deduction that you failed to tax because it would hurt your Bay Street friends.  Incorporation was given to physicians in lieu of fee increases.  Your above comments now increase the amount of "income" to $300,000 as opposed to your previous comparison of neighbours in the $200,000 range, but you have now chosen to compare professionals to government paid employees who have no overhead expenses, and have  pensions, benefits, etc.,  They  have taken no risk in setting their businesses.  Unfair.

Perhaps controlling spending would be a worthy alternative to explore as well.


Has nothing to do with "liberals"; it has to do with 'free enterprise' making a decision it doesn't want to redirect to nazi-sympathizing sites.

The cost of deportation:
"Each deportation conducted by ICE cost taxpayers an average of $10,854 in fiscal 2016, an official from the agency told CNNMoney. This amount includes everything from housing and feeding a detainee to transporting him back to his home country...."
http://money.cnn.com/2017/04/13/news/economy/deportation-costs-undocumented-immigrant/index.html
There are approximately 11,000,000 undocumented people in the USA.  This includes many people from Europe: "The Pew Research Center estimates that there are 475,000 to 500,000 unauthorized immigrants from Europe in the United States, including around 50,000 in New York City...."
http://gothamist.com/2017/01/09/undocumented_immigrants_nyc.php

Deport them all, right?


I thought Obama would fix rising health care costs 8 years ago...did he lie to the world?


Perhaps because he knows about as much about nuclear engineering as you do?


And what about our Canadian men and women from Singapore, Hong Kong, and Shanghai... they were treated worse than dogs in POW camps. This was war - nothing more, nothing less.


Getting elected and re-elected President is "a failure as a man"?

Or were you thinking of something else, like the size of his hands? Do elaborate!


Stores are afraid to do anything for fear of being sued. I've seen ESA owners get media attention when turned away, forcing the companies who were within their rights to back peddle for fear of losing customers.
 Almost every media story i've seen recently is either an ESA or total fake dog with "certification" papers who refused to answer the store's questions. Whoever is supposed to be going after fake dogs on a federal level should just search " service dog denied" and they'd have a good starting place.
I've suggested to the Justice Dept a Federal Disability Cert Card  that physicians can give to people who meet the ADA requirements as Disabled and need a SD.  At that point the dog is medical equipment as designed without disclosing any personal info and stopping people faking disabilities in their tracks. Instead of asking the 2 questions stores simply ask to see the card. At that point, all dogs get turned away if the card can't be presented. Please do the same if you like it.


Simply because it is neither cognitively sound or honest.

If you want to meet some of the most "conservative" i.e. resistant to change people, just hang around unionized workers at a mine, or mill. They do not want ANYTHING to change, until they can stroke off that last day on that calendar the announces their retirement.

And if they mostly backers (or used to be) of the "conservative" NDP.

That a paper mill worker who is opposed to say marijuana litigation might support a party that favours it, is similar to the situation in the USA. People who need the programs that the people they elect want to remove get the vote...as long as they feel the person is against abortion, or same-sex marriage, they will allow them to be behind other  things that are  against.

It does not matter what this or any other editorials or columns in the world say.

TRUMP HAVE ALREADY DECIDED TO HIT NORTH KOREA, START KOREAN WAR 2.

All propaganda are noise. All pretax are hot air. Trump wants war and he will get war. A real honest war which will blow up Korea. The North know this day will come and have been preparing for decades. It know the U.S. will finally get a president who wants war, but knows nothing about war. The perfect guy to start Korean War 2.

So folks, sit back and watch Korean War 2. We know how North Korea will fight - for its national survival. We will find out how Trump will fight - for his glory.


Pickard will almost certainly replace McElhinney as the back-up at some point this season.  If the latter stinks out the joint tonight, then it might be as soon as tomorrow.

And for my money, Pickard is just as good as Andersen, and Your Leafs management knows as well as anybody that had Andersen played well last playoffs, they beat Wash 1st round, and then who knows after that.

Fortunately, for Rogers, et al, the fan base is hockey illiterate--well, not all of them, but more than 1/2--no clue.  Guy makes a stop at a key juncture in the game, and he's good for life as far as Your Leafs fans are concerned.

Laughing all the way to the bank....ScotiaBank knows.  They know....


Well, it's not denial when it's a prediction. Nothing has happened yet, has it? Politics is not Calvinist theology. BC has the NDP in the lead heading into May's election. Most of the votes that fled the Alberta PCs went to Rachel Notley's NDP, not Wildrose. So I'd wait for the 2018 polls before I began popping the champagne corks. The European Union isn't Marxist. Where'd you get that idea? Angela Merkel is a conservative. As for Trump, he's made a royal mess of things in 30 days; I don't see him recovering in 1000 more. And my uncle's family lives in France and they aren't about to leave the EU any time soon. LOL. That's just Fox Fake News.


All well and good, but for a r-e-a-l-l-y slow pace I gotta go with "Mark Trail".  You can drop that sucker for a couple of years and come back and feel like you haven't  missed a beat.


There is. It's called "sorta". You click on that when it's not a bad comment and not a good comment.

But Civility is a binary choice. Does the poster attack other people? Does it call people names? Does it use purposely incendiary rhetoric? Basically, is it a dick? If so, mark 'no' on civil. If not, mark 'yes'.


While the 9th Circuit declined to overturn the District Court's decision, this important litigation has had some incredibly important and positive results, including elimination of the Chambers Creek hatchery program as well as bringing all Elwha River hatchery programs under ESA authorizations that impose various monitoring and reporting requirements. Such requirements are intended to ensure proper techniques are in place to minimize adverse genetic effects from the Chinook and steelhead hatchery programs. The appellants are currently evaluating whether to seek en banc review by the Ninth Circuit of the panel's decision.


Differences re- the Khadr settlement can be debated indefinitely, and likely will be, but for our federal conservatives to now ingratiate themselves with the worst of the Trump mob and its media shills (Fox/WSJ) is nauseating. I suppose it was too much to hope that our major party on the right could resist mining the depths of political pandering -- though it will no doubt impress Donny's half-dozen adoring fans here.


That would make more sense


That might have more to do with nonstop attacks by the press and an avalanche of false stories. The Washington Post, which I stopped reading a week ago, looks like something right out of 1938 Nazi Germany. It's horrible. CNN, ABC, NBC, NYT, aren't any better. And Fox, Breitbart, etc. treat Trump like he can do no wrong. That has more to do with Trump's poll numbers than anything else. In the meantime, the really dangerous thing is that the press has destroyed its credibility with this. You do realize, don't you, that the press is trusted by less than 35% of the country? This is a historic low. Disney and ESPN squandered public attention to football, Hollywood is viewed as a collection of spoil lunatics and narcissistic sex addicts, and the Democratic Part is held in such low esteem that they couldn't get a candidate elected dog catcher in most of the country. The attacks on Mr. Trump have been an unmitigated disaster. Stop it. Pray for the man!


Not an expert about weather and climatic changes but isn't our storms like hurricanes and such helps clear any man made and/or nature's pollutions? We mustn't worry about the physical or materialistic world but we should focus more how to live with each other in harmony. The basic rule "Love thy neighbor as thy self ". Then our insurance of living the good life is quarantee on earth as in heaven! Have a great day and God bless the world!


I don't need to contest anything, cogently or otherwise. Your comment was nothing but the daydream of a conspiracy theorist, and I pointed that out.


listening:  Where have you been the last 30+ years.  This Criminal and Weird behavior is going on ALL the time.............EuGreen is a BAD Trainwreck and the Mayors and city council's the past 30+ years just want to keep it that way..........VERY DISCUSSTING.


Only if they're incompetent.


you're confusing the issue and the cause by doing real math, rather than feminist math. It takes a very special person to do feminist math, you know math like:  "1 in 5 girls will be sexually assaulted during their time at college" But it takes an  extremely special feminist to publish and purport as true, this special math in a National newspaper....nuff said.


here is the current picture of Barrow via webcamhttp://seaice.alaska.edu/gi/observatories/barrow_webcam      it's turning BACK to a regular tropical paradise


BlackAcre, This is the rantings of someone who can not control what his brain is doing. Idiotic comparisons are usually only found in immature persons. I guess loincloth and war bonnets are the sign of sane people in your mind. Read what intelligent people think about the issue of religious behaviour.


How long have you lived in Alaska?  Did no one think about such things until marijuana was legalized?  Does everyone think that all the marijuana users while it was decriminalized were *not* toking and driving?  You can bet a lot of the kids were doing just that.  I find it kind of amazing that Alaskans, now that it's legalized, are "suddenly aware" of this.

I would hope that legalization would help provide the sensible regulation that your comment suggests by limiting access to minors and making people think twice about what's wrong and what's right.

please specify factual instances of paul manafort's GUILT. your statement is obtuse and vacuous


Why is this not listed as "advertisement" or "sponsor content"?  A partner at Morneau Shepell quotes a study by his firm that suggests you are undersaving if you will have less than 85%(!) of your spendable income.  The solution seems to be some sort of national savings plan, presumably run by firms like M-S.

Fake argument: OAS is inflation-adjusted, not "gradually shrinking in real terms". The CPP enhancement is for people who don't save at all, so it is at worst neutral - if the person saves less by an equivalent amount. Since CPP is not counted against RRSP limits, that will increase potential CPP+RRSP assets.

Meanwhile, his own argument about people reducing RRSP contributions by CPP expansion will be even an bigger argument with a national savings plan, where people will see the "saved" amounts.

Which is why I think this article is just an ad to lobby governments to promote M-S's services.


While I don't agree with the overreach here, it is a state matter. The feds have nothing to do with this particular news item.


My handy dandy "10 in 1' cooker arrived today, just in time for me to celebrate having been tricked into using my so called expiring miles on the least useless item I could obtain.  I have taken my Air Miles card out of my wallet and that's it.  And I will take pleasure in avoiding retailers who give out Air Miles but explain why I am no longer a collector if I do.


FYI, it would also force the trans "dude with a beard wearing a flannel and work boots" to use the women's restroom with your 7 year old daughter....


He'll leave sooner than that and I doubt it will be by choice.


This election will prove that the end is near for America. Nero, get out your fiddle.


Good luck with that....


Mark..

Will you address the question of why the recent warming is no different than warming cycles in the past?


It never ceases to amaze me the number of comments responding to crackpots feuding over prayers at a local meeting or vilifying the oil industry - yet here’s an example of sane, rational and reasonable people trying to contribute something to our community and economy….and all you hear is “crickets”. It’s a sad realization that most people are more worried about their feelings than fixing problems. So, to this, I say KUDOS and a huge thank you to the bold entrepreneurs who keep at it, and continue to push forward despite the obstacles.


Billy Ray, you know that repealing Obamacare doesn't repeal Big Pharma or doctors unions or for-profit hospitals or attorneys or insurance companies, right? And you do know that Trumpcare actually benefits all of those groups more than Obamacare does, right?


Wow. Great piece. All the SA writers should learn how to do their work just like this.


"Real" news sources? Those delusions sounds exactly like something from InfoWars or Pam Geller or Gateway Pundent. Is that what you consider "real news sources"? I would love to see a link to your "real sources"

Gotcha.

I think we may see a repeat of Jan/Feb 2016 before the rebound. Oil dropping below $40.00 ,dollar low 70'3 and TSX below 15000. All based on the price of oil but I believe the inventory levels in Oct /Nov will support this forecast.

I agree.
Plus, those people are generally peaceful. Very few extremists if any. Will make great neighbours with the Syrians. Canada will be stronger with them, because diversity is our strength.


At the rate the federal Liberals are imploding I can see Kenney as PM in 2021 and the Liberals back to third place for keeps.


“I thought it was a tourist thing, I thought it was some attraction or something,” Lame!


Yet another cop, alpha, idiot. Screw this guy.


So so many of us "knew" this a year ago and it has been incredibly frustrated that nothing has been done by Republicans or the press....talk about domestic collusion! Their reputations are damaged forever. It is refreshing to see a few lone wolf reporters acknowledge some truth.


A) Why you would ascribe any desire to Abp. Chaput is beyond me, as I do not see how you could possibly know that, and B) it is completely beside the point and merely a smear on Abp. Chaput (who, as mentioned in this very article, chastises those who use vitriolic personal attacks against Fr. Martin), and C) if Abp. Chaput is any type of fan of the EF, I have never heard of it.  I am not aware that he has any affinity for the traditional liturgy.


So the payout would be closer to $15M+

When I vote for someone I vote for them to represent me and to vote MY conscience, not theirs. And I certainly don't vote to send them to a club to become a "team player/cheerleader". This caucus culture should be outlawed. I have voted against one of my favorite legislators in my stance to purge the the system. Vote anti-incumbent!!!


HHmmmm....it must have known you're out of the demographic.


MORE SCHOOL BUS BREAK LINES CUT?


"We Americans do not value lives."

Agreed.  We have even elevated the killing of our children to a Constitutional right.

It is a spreading moral rot.


Climate change science is fiendishly complicated, and many of us are not very scientifically literate. The official GOP and Trump response is almost criminally negligent. Living in Alaska we see change happening much faster than the lower 48, and anyone here who denies it must never leave their couch. I am thankful I do not have children, because we are living in interesting times (an old Chinese curse). The pace of change here is absolutely stunning. Alaska might be a overall winner in these changes as long as you are not into winter sports, but there will nationally be huge losers and disruptions too.


Yeah, you get to talk.

Racists, Nazis,  racist Nazi Trump supporters, and you.


The practical approach is to innovate and adapt, as  our ancestors have done for millennia.. NOT overreact and give money-grubbing governments more tax $$ to squander.


That's cute. Good luck with your insurrection.


You think that's the purpose? It seems like just another version of smug liberal lecturing to me; bad if we express our minds, good when they do.


According to your logic, we won't be able to celebrate anyone anymore. George Washington owned slaves, and Thomas Jefferson undoubtedly raped his slaves. FDR created internment camps. Abraham Lincoln ordered the execution of Indian insurgents trying to protect their land. Martin Luther King Jr, was a renowned adulterer. Mother Teresa refused to return $1.25 million of stolen money given to her by fraudster Charles Keating. And John Lennon beat his wife.


Let's remember Harper's irresponsible gang assembled this poorly organized, poorly regulated system that threatened medical cannabis users' health & lives. Harperite Tories are hazardous to your health, folks.


I'm not talking about the media. Yes, I'm well aware of the Assad, Puntin and Iran's unrealistic "expectation." That was the gist of my comment.  Just another ignorant, impulsive probably illegal, wasteful (59+ million dollars down the toilet) hugely expexpensive Trump fail.  he's an incompetent moron. But hey, Hillary had emails.  🙄


It's just the usual Carrick schadenfreude; denigrating homeowners and homeownership because he still lives in his mother's basement.


Most people were dead by 40. Problem solved.


Wow, they still use landlines in Fairbanks?  Wonder if they still use rotary dial phones too?


And we wonder why we have so many problems in this world.....


Another violation of the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution by Trump and his corrupt family. Of course all you righties and Trumpkins that are always screaming about Dems not following the letter of the Constitution will have no problem with this even though Trump is in direct violation of Article I, Section 9, Clause 8 of the Constitution which prohibits U.S. officeholders from taking anything of value from foreign leaders and foreign governments....


President Obama did not have scandals.  repubs always do.

What were you flapping your gums about?  Employment history?  That is a good subject.  What is the employment history of trump's "advisors"?  They worked for daddy or were paid by repubs to lie.


To OldBanister

if you read nuance

very subtle

it is referring to Justin's legendary inability to deal with  terrorism

so very relevant comment


It should be a choice, not a mandatory program.


It is not the fact that priests have been excommunicated lately, it is the fact that the threat of excommunication is still there today. The orders that Pope Pius XI issued back in 1922 remain in enforce today. I believe I read somewhere that some Bishop threatened Tom Doyle with excommunication because of his work on behalf of victims. In typical Tom Doyle fashion he said bring it on. He knew more about Cannon law than almost any Bishop. There have been more priests coming forward lately to report their fellow priests. That is very late in coming but certainly a welcome sign. I do believe that if you polled Catholic priests, the vast majority would hold Cannon Law supersedes civil law. That needs to change. If Francis truly believes in justice for victims, he needs to overturn what Pius XI put into effect in 1922.


Republicans urge Trump to come clean - if that means actually tell the truth, something this man doesn't understand them meaning of, then I urge Republicans, and the American people, to not hold your breath.


Why is the secrecy a troubling issue?   When has any of the compensation deals for the wrongfully convicted or even Arar ever publicly negotiated? They are not because most negotiations are never done in public.


While I understand why Gov Walker did what he did, it is very misguided.  To all you pro-oil, take the PFD individuals, there is not enough room here to tell you what I think.  The oil companies have not done what all these people say.  They have hired out-of-state individuals to take our money to Louisiana, Oregon, Washington, etc.  We give them more credits then the taxes they pay, that would mean we pay them to do business here, not the other way around.

Now Walker wants to take the money from everybody to support a bloated, ineffective operating budget.  There are too many things he could do to fix this.  Renegotiate State contracts, quit supplying unneeded services, and run a more efficient Government.  BTW, stopping a capital project has nothing to do with the operating budget, so quit blowing smoke.


Right "...no overall tax cut for high-income households." What about businesses owned by those "high-income households?"  "However, the Tax Foundation estimated that even with so-called "dynamic scoring," Trump's tax package could cost about $3 trillion over a decade." Tax experts have already analyzed Trumps plan and agree that it will substantially increase taxes for everyone but the well-to-do and the 1%. More trickle down economics, with a huge boost to the 1%. Trump & the GOP become more malignant  every day.  It becomes more and more difficult for me to understand how any self-respecting person can support Trump.  If you care about this county and the people in it, there  is simply no excuse for doing so.


So who was speaking in Familiaris Consortio, Veritatis Splendor, and in the past 2,000 years of Church teaching?


So glad we have had visionaries in our community - they make this place incredible!


Jack,  The Lord healed the sick and raised the dead. He never asked if they had health insurance first.  The world  we live in is  a world that puts a price on everything. And that price has to be paid by someone. I would never ask a doctor to perform surgery for free, or ask a nurse to come to work and never be paid.  That would not be humane to them. In the same way it is not showing love to our fellow Americans by taking away from some to give it to others that don't want to pay a dime.  Even the Bible says, "The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat."  Thessalonians 3:10. That may sound harsh by today's standards, but  the Bible expects even  believers to pay their own way.  I think it is only right to expect someone to contribute towards their own health expenses if they are able-bodied.


The problem I have with banishment is that it just makes one groups problem a burden for another group it seems like the majority of the time.

I can only remember a single case of when banishment was enough of a reality check that it made the individual get their crap together.


or the HOT TUB!


Are there? Please cite the news story, evidence or research that has identified these women.


The claim of religious discrimination is absurd.  By your lights, no one whose religion teaches violence toward non-believers should be subjected to scrutiny.  What an absurd notion of religious freedom.


I agree except that the more deals that Trump makes with the Democrats, the more the GOP becomes disengaged from the power that it should inherently enjoy from controlling the House, Senate and notionally the White House. The more Trump pushes aside the party he claims to represent, the more likely his impeachment. Also, the more the Dems cosy up to The Donald, the harder it becomes for them to be a credible opposition and to campaign convingly in mid-terms and the next general election.


I live on Hunter creek road about 8 miles from the proposed mining site. I am extremely concerned that this project will pollute the stream, kill the fish and wildlife and pollute our well and drinking water, to name just a few issues. kudos to our elected representatives for seeing the potential harm this and other projects like it could do to our beautiful forests and watersheds.


Being a geezer can pay off. I so seriously lament the Zobel decision. Just think: no-cost retirement growing exponentially every year, add a free hunt/fish/trap license and with a little creative thought, complimentary beer from all the micro's out there! Seriously though, this is a good move and only the beginning of small ways to make things pay. Remember when the game regs were only 10 pages in a little white booklet? And I defer to the true oldsters who remember even less regulation.


Kurgan, is that you?


Don't be so naif. When have they protected us from a terrorist attack? There has been hundreds in the last months. In the Uk they have cameras every 100 ft.


Machines control the earth!
Down with the machines!
Down with corporations that increase prices every year for "new technology" but can't figure out how to make a universal charger or a universal protector case.  Or build something that they are willing to back up for more than a year. This includes laptops, gaming counsels, televisions, smart phones, internet downloads, cable television and phone companies.


No. Christ -- the Jew who lived in the First Century -- would not have recognized or understood virtually everything Trent said. "Transubstantiation?" "The Latin Vulgate?" and so on would have been a complete mystery to him. Because, as every realist knows, the magisterium changes its teachings over the years.

And you knew exactly what I meant.


Between commercial and military flights, this Trump suckee blew more than a million bucks in taxpayers' money. His sleazy, thieving butt should be fired.


Its a valid point...except for one thing.  When WE comment, we really are commenting, bad or good, for or against. Civility is mandatory.  When Poplak writes, he is not only commenting, he is entertaining, and for that he does require the occasional crutch.


I agree, but we don't know if she has family or how she came to be in custody at the border.  All we really know is that she is a desperate young woman in need of help - we can either support helping her have her baby or support helping her kill it.  She ought not to be here, but the reality is that she is here. Now we get to choose who we are going to be in light of this situation.  All people like you and I can do is voice our opinion and pray for her, her baby, and those around her who are guiding her.


Wish I could have seen this on tv, but PAC12 & Directv can't get their acts together (no matter how much I pay.)  Good job Montez.


Do not treat or educate, incarcerate. The Alaskan politicians mantra


IRT LittleYoboBoy, the article says nothing about concrete structural cracks.  Are you one of the subcontractors or maybe an inspector.  If DCK got paid for the concrete work, they must have conformed to the contract specifications and drawings covered by inspections.  Many years ago I was asked to assist the University with their error on the Women Softball field where you couldn't see the home plate sitting in the first row of seats.  It was redesigned and repaired.  Now, a $80 million Airport Construction Job.  Auwe.  Yep, it's is sickening


Our ethically inconvenienced mayor must be smoking out 24/7 then, judging by the slitted eyes I see on him in EVERY photo out there...


Exactly, like the free tuition promise - like a true liberal, she never did say how she planned on paying for it? Maybe she thinks the budgets balance themselves too?


This poll does not reflect the reality when it comes to illegal immigration. Of this I'm 100% sure.


Hot off the presses!

Trump has just announced that he'll select 'Brownie' to be his head of FEMA.  He said that, "Brownie has precisely the sort of experience and leadership skills I look for on my team."  After returning from his Louisiana visit he stated that the choice of Brownie for FEMA was obvious.  "That man knows what to do with flood waters!  He's just like Moses!  Look how he rescued New Orleans after Katrina."

When asked to comment on Brownies' past performance, former president George W Bush called him "one of the brightest lights in my administration."


I do! It is absolutely my favorite place to be and my only place I can get to the ocean! And hey we patronize them too! If they let us get near, we eat at the little shack, buy drinks, etc! I patronize their spa, their buffet breakfasts! I give them a lot of money for being able to sit on what should be our free beach!!


Roughly the last two weeks of his 37-day stay in Providence was unnecessary, hospital records show. Mitchell said it was closer to a month.

But of course the last two weeks were unnecessary...The American health care and insurance system is a for profit scam. More worried about rolling in copious amount of money than providing good medical service to those that need it.


Why not have a referendum on whether or not we want to keep Canada a 'multicultural' country?


From the article: "the best way to address [the bubble] is to try to carefully let some air out, before the balloon pops."

Serious question: does anyone have any examples of a "soft landing" or engineered plateau in a real estate market, when prices are very decoupled from local incomes and rents? Because I don't know of any. How can you "let some air out"? Maybe the message should be: if you think the high prices are bad, stop baking in more pain and letting them go higher.

Meteoric price increases in Canada are driven by policies related to debt, real estate, and "citizens of convenience" (demonizing all immigration is a poor choice). Hearty laughter should greet anyone suggesting high prices are the result of a roaring economy that is creating high demand for shelter. Similarly, laughter should meet anyone who calls real estate a free market. It is the most interfered with market in Canada (taxpayer-backed mortgage insurance, capital gains exemptions, myriad tax credits, etc.).


So go get your able seaman card, then.


hodad...have you always lived in the basement of your mothers home all your life? Do you need a welfare check?


I don't know what he said except what he always says.

"We're going to win." (constantly)

"We're going to kill terrorists" (constantly)

"We're going to do stuff and make other countries pay for it." (the wall)

"We're going to show American military strength and power" (North Korea)

Other than those vague things, Trump bascially adopted Obama's position in Afghanistan.

Except that he wants to leave troops there, while Obama wanted to bring them home.

Isolationists like Bannon/Brietbart are gonna go bonkers.


Another example of people who don't know journalism critiquing journalism.

"Chill" is from the 2016 story linked to in the article, written by Jason Blevins: "If you are bitten, he said, get away from the snake. Chill. Then call 911." Nobody had a problem with him not being precise with life-saving instructions.

Blevins did a very odd thing with that quote. Journalists are taught that direct quotes are sacred, and they should be reproduced verbatim and placed inside of quotation marks. Jason did not do that, which indicates that the excerpt above was a paraphrase; the words are a combination of what Tripp actually said and Jason's interpretation. If "chill" was the word Tripp used, he's the one who needs to be more precise with life-saving instructions.

In any case, it's not Tamara Chuang's word choice, or her error, even though she corrected it in an update. My guess is that she was unable to reach Blevins or Tripp to verify the quote or get a new one by deadline.


“We Like it Here. You Might Too”  Definitely to go down in the anals of advertising campaigns.


This situation is everyday in Canadian hospitals with crowded rooms and patients lining the hallways. The already bankrupt Canadian system is getting worse due to the frail, elderly and sick parents and grandparents from the offshore being allowed admission to Canada without proper medical screening and costs being billed to the children who sponsor their parents and grandparents.


It is hard to see her as a local athlete.  She has few local attributes. Mariotta and Buckner in the NFL have far more.


I have a better idea. Give the Canadian families very generous incentives to have children, so they can afford them and concentrate on the humanitarian cases for immigration. I believe that's called a sustainable solution.


Too bad all these people complaining about the Broncos exercising their rights to peaceful protest aren't upset about the traitors flying the confederate or nazi flag, those are the scum that people should be upset about.  I find the scum flying either one of those flags far more disrespectful to the flag and this country than people exercising their freedoms to peacefully protest.


What has that to do with anything? The fact is that the magisterium can and is disagreed with by Catholics who are proud and genuine members of the Church.


Perfectly stated. If your community is not sustainable it will not survive. Just look at Detroit.


Exactly why Raitt is a good choice.  Platform is solid right from vision to principles to costing of policies.  But it's more fun to call Trudeau 'Bambi' than it is to think things through.


What are the real economic and job benefits to Alaska? TAPS benefits but that is not owned by Alaska. What if there is an oil spill? No known method of cleaning up oil in ice conditions. Again, how does Alaska benefit in real economic dollars and jobs?


Karl Roads is a good choice.  Stanley Chang will give he east end of Oahu a voice.  Nobody feels threatened  by Slom.  What bills has he ever passed?  Don't really know.   Shopo Samoan president giving money to a Samoan representative is untoward in the sense that it seems a little racially motivated and inappropriate.  But Maafala also supports Chief Kealoha.  Shopo needs new elections.  Public needs a stronger police commission.


9 mil? Try 15+ mil in "greater Tokyo" area including Yokohama, Chiba, Kawasaki, etc!


If these orgs were truly wanting something done, then they should not be directing their angst against President. This has been a Congress issue even before Obama. Democrats had what GOP has today, that is control of three houses of government and they did nothing at all. Obama Executive Order was unlawful. So don't blame Trump, blame both parties in Congress. Drain The Swamp of both parties.


Their seats make it a very torturous ride, they lost me as a customer.


My mother once said, "It's dangerous to get between your father and his food." A couple minutes later, my father instructed me never to criticize my mother's religion. Since then I have noticed how food can inflame the same irrational
passions as religion.

Today, I would add, "Never underestimate the power of the conglomerate food business with their deep pocket lobbyists, public relations, PHD's on salary, and passionate legions of fast convenience food converts and no weeding farmers."

As Americans we all can agree it's a freedom of choice of what we choose to eat. Unfortunately, that's not possible anymore since lawyers and politicians have tweaked labeling laws.

Climate change effects on crops, depleting water aquifers, long lines at soup kitchens, in the future, may outweigh any food concerns we have presently.


I did not say these were "terrible" results...or that BMO is a "loser" company.
Putting words in the Cat's mouth has become a form of  sport around here...
I just think you have to put these earnings in context with;
.
1)The recent anxious real estate/credit market
2)The banks last 3 quarters of earnings


Here is the bottom line: The oil company's have one fear that they could never let happen and that is that Alaska is rich enough to do its own exploring, drilling, producing and exporting  our own oil that would make Alaska worth 100s of billions of dollars. But that will never happen as long as the oil company's control Juneau!
Just look at S.B.21 that gave billions to the oil company's that used to go to us thanks to the corruption in Juneau!


Give me a break!!! Kathleen and her ilk have done more damage to Ontarios economy than any form form Automation

The ragging left has NO regard for inconsequential people, it's their ideology that matters!

Yes Green energy cost, high taxes and government that spends more time working against business has chased away industry period!!!!

Yes we allll know small business is a tax shelter for the rich, keep it up Marxist  and Canada will soon have its own Trump.


The politicians don't care.  Passing the law for votes is the point.

 The most recent affirmation of that was Sen Prozanski's 'gun control' legislation requiring person to person background checks. Virtually every police agency and DA in the State pointed out that they did not have the personnel or financial resources to enforce this law.  Several sheriffs and police chiefs had press conferences where they said they would not enforce the law.

Prozanski and the legislature put the Emergency Clause on it so the voters couldn't have an initiative against it.


Trudeau Derangement Syndrome?


China bots blow and so does this.
G&M nice new low. The only time I read this paper is when it is at my hotel or on Air Canada.


Bring in Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker...
He'll straighten out this Pension obligation problem.


Yes. The petition says you don't like him.   It doesn't do anything other than claim conflict of interest (in a matter the whole council acted on) and refers to an UNCONSTITUTIONAL BAN as ruled by the State Supreme Court multiple times as if it had some legal validity.

Basically your argument is he failed to do what you wished and violate state law in complying with your wishes.   Therefore he should be recalled so you can replace him with someone WILLING to violate state law.

By the way thanks for proving that you are indeed an extremist.


The People are complicit in the incompetent and arrogant government system we have here.

Blindly (the minority sliver of actual people who bother) re-electing the gang of beholden, owned, usual suspects in an ever revolving turntable of government positions guaranteeing mediocrity, inefficiency and morass every time.

Ed can critique from the outside because the people (in a moment of clarity?) rejected his lifetime political ambitions. If he were still in office would he still be part of the status quo?


Payrollgirl
Nice thought, but please tell me, when has a criminal EVER obeyed the law!
Now Dems & republicans that is another story.


Called it yesterday. Kendro is the best candidate. He's a very active person ,"boots on the ground" type of guy. Even when he was Major of different departments, he was always at major scenes whether crime scenes or legislative issues. He should be Chief.


Yes the E-Type was gorgeous but then again in 1960 they weren't concerned much with safety and fuel consumption. Those days are long over my friend not to be seen again.


I would agree with pretty much all of what you said, except the whole GOP bashing thing.
We are talking about Hawaii, here. Not the mainland USA or nationally. HERE in Hawaii the democrats have RULED the state for 50 years with basically absolute control at all levels. All of the problems we have here are FULLY owned by the democrats. The 8 Republicans in the state legislature had nothing to do with creating them, it is the 68 others that outvote them on everything. HERE In Hawaii, with "the party of the people" in full control, we have the worst percentage of homeless than anywhere else in the entire country. The worst housing, the worst schools, and the "worst of" in several other categories. Trump nor any other national figure is responsible for that in any capacity at all.

But yes, i absolutely agree with you that is is a problem of democrat political will to actually solve the problems here that they created, and continue to create.


Most of the foreign money in Canada is from the Koch brothers and other right wingers who have poured millions into  Canadian right wing think tanks and have been influencing  Canadian government policy and pubic opinion for many years.

After his defeat, Harper flew to Los Vegas to address a group of Republicans at the home of billionaire Sheldon Abelson, source of "dark money" in the US and Israel,

 As well the Conservative Party has brought in advisers from the right wing of the Republican Party  and have followed many of their negative advertising and dirty tricks campaigns very closely.  They even imported a notorious Australian right wing adviser last elections whose stock in trade is dirty tricks.

<<Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you were bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body.>>

It seems RD didn't know the source.


Liberals in BC, ONT. and Federal can all be tarred with the same brush.


You're confusing Trump with Clinton and the DNC who did what you're claiming Trump did, only they did it to Bernie Sanders last summer. Some polls were purged of dead people, etc.  So what? That's how it should always be done.  The only Facists we've seen lately voted blue, physically attack people who disagree with them, vandalize public and private property, and riot. Emotional retardation at its finest.


Sorry, but this should surprise no-one.  Not that a CO was bringing it in, nor the fact that a fellow CO was so blase and willing to assist [until he picked up on a serious bust going on that he had just put himself on the wrong side of].  Drugs inside DOC facilities [and many other jails and prisons] are not at all uncommon - just very expensive.  The mj may actually be a good idea, but the heroin prevents someone from an opportunity to get clean in seclusion from temptations.


Yield rates is everything in quality control.  Read Deming's work.


Dodds-Frank in no way chokes small business. Whoever fed you this line is deliberately out to deceive low-info posters like yourself.


Oh come on!  This country will never give the NDP a shot even if Jesus Christ, Ghandi, and Nelson Mandela all merged into one person to lead it!


Ok then.....please point to some source (i.e. a census or study) that shows that most feminists are radical.  Any man or woman who advocates that women be treated as equals to men is a feminist, by definition.  This is the half of the population that is female, and a portion of the male half of the population.  We can plainly see that we don't have billions of radical feminists running around.

Feminism and radical feminism are not the same thing.  Some good summaries:

Feminism: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feminism
Radical feminism: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical_feminism

Radical feminism, a relatively small group, is where you find those that are most likely to believe in and promote misandry.


These bridges are NOT in danger of collapse. They are certified safe by both states, and can be earthquake updated inexpensively for 50-100 years more use. It turns out open steel frame construction is much more maintainable than was thought. They were made right.


Nothing compared to the mess that was left for them.


Seems like Alaskans are better at tearing things up than building anything that might around a few thousand years from now like the Pyramids. Unless mine pits count. I wouldn't mind a popular public works project where we Alaskans built something truly needed as good as the Washington Monument or the Golden Gate Bridge. Something of quality and lasting value. The pipeline will never have the tourist draw. And I know just how to pay for it but ExxonMobil will not like it since we ought liquidate their stock first before moving on to BP and Conoco.


GSA

I am curious where you are getting your info on ROI of wind turbines.  I am not saying you are wrong, I would like to read that info myself.

I know there is a lot of iron, copper and rare earths in the generator at the top of the stick.


So there seems to have been no due process of any depth.  Just like Germany in 1933 and beyond.   But Trump does like the far right.  He is contemptuous of  law and due process and uses Presidential orders instead of legislation.   He is leading America into the darkness of fascism.


I think so.....just haven't seen any data on the subject. Apparently doors wouldn't shut, water seepage etc....

I personally would have preferred a renovation of a neighboring church and the money saved used to keep inner city schools open...and other charitable acts...don't see the cathedral as necessary or even attractive.

And the 200 million cost along with 60 million in settlements....the bond market loans that must be paid down or better yet, off....

The whole thing is just pathetic.


They're skipping it because they know that being a serial liar, using dog whistle politics, attacking minorities, making fun of the disabled, being unable to withstand any and all criticism, wanting to unilaterally jail your opponent, and likely being funded / blackmailed by the Russians, is a bad thing. And all this before he's even officially in the job. A lot of serious negatives there. And its a high price to pay for any of the good the man may do while in office.


What right do you have to demand health care from other people? You are born with certain "RIGHTS" and not a one them involves getting something from someone else.


PM May came across like a partner in a marriage that wants to engage in an open marriage while demanding that the other partner remain faithful. Don't think that's going to work out so well.


I disagree with the entire premise of this article. We, and by extension our PM, have no reason whatever to comment on what the USA does internally. The author uses as comparison the Chretien/Bush disagreement, but it's specious. Chretien refused to enter the Iraq war; the current immigration situation does not affect us directly at all.

The US immigration policy is none of our or Trudeau's business.


Oil demand increasing, production increasing even faster. Prices in Canada, locally inconsistent and irrelevant.


Yea, everyone is corrupt except the one right before your very eyes. I bet used car dealerships love when you walk onto their lot.


Yup I go by stupid is as stupid does.

Germany is a representative democracy whose elected members should have been using reason in legislation but instead followed the hysterical mob. Witness the destruction caused by the Brexit vote and BC's transit referendum.

Trump's visceral hatred of government regulation may be just the ticket to a science based nuclear revival - serendipity.

In the US, 97% of the staff of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission are lawyers 3% scientists and engineers.  Big Oil owns American politicians like Obama to the point that it takes only a few months to get approval for a gas plant that will murder thousands of its local neighbours with air pollution while a nuke plant that may save tens of thousands of lives by replacing a coal facility takes ten years to gain approval.

Here's real science, peer reviewed and published in reputable journal, denouncing Merkel's wind/solar plan.

"Pet overpopulation"  is caused by Inhumane Societies promoting the disposability of animals.  They train generation after generation that animals can just be dropped off whenever people become inconvenienced or bored of them.  The Inhumane Societies don't embrace trap, neuter return, their adoption rates are abysmal, as are the number of sterializations.  They are the problem.


Welcome back Dooley!  I hope you will keep writing, because it clears up the stink in local politics.


They used a private email server, not paid for by taxpayer dollars, for political communications. Legal and proper.


If you say so.


The legislation was in 1951 (which is what I claimed) and the program was implemented in 1952.
Again you cannot claim something doesn't exist just because you are unable to find proof of it.
And why do you keep ignoring the simple fact that your claim about EI/UI was:
"All governments ... have treated EI premiums as general revenue. There was never any "money saved"."
The key word in your claim being NEVER and I have provided evidence that the plan was in fact run separately, self-financing, generating surpluses. Those surpluses, in the billions each year, were accumulated (saved) in the program account which was completely financially separate from the other government accounts, just as the CPP accounts are. During that period UI/EI premiums were not treated as general revenue. So there was a period when your claim is untrue and thus your use of the word NEVER is wrong.
If you are going to ignore actual facts that contradict your claims there is little to discuss.


The PF belongs to the citizens of Alaska, and not to Walker, and not to the GOP senate and not to the oil companies. The PF is not to be used to pay taxes for the oil corporations.


Ottawa has arranged for volunteer registration on the city website.

Does Montreal have something similar?


Really, RD?  So anyone who doesn't agree with you is a red?


Fine, if you're going to disagree then would love to hear your reasoning as to why we're better off with with traditional stewardesses over law enforcement personnel. In my opinion, it best for public safety. Any your reason to back traditional stewardess jobs is why?


You have to know that the Clinton campaign has had this and other yet to be released evidence for some time. They were just holding it as a hole card to play after it's too late for another candidate to apply. Trump has surely lost. And without a winnable candidate to unify behind, we are almost sure to have to endure 4 years of Clinton. They played this one well... Down and dirty...


HawaiiMongoose>  You have to make a decision, since in your post you disagrees with a first strike, then you "sort of" agree.  Which option are you choosing, huh????


Maybe you missed a few issues but he is suing the government, and that government is currently liberal.


"What many viewer’s may be unaware of is that the Star-Advertiser endorsement also agreed with Djou’s criticism of Caldwell that he “stood on the sidelines and did not sufficiently fact-check cost projections".....Is this opinion piece a fact check on a 30 second political ad or a plug for Charles Djou?


The number of Muslim terrorists in the West is much larger proportional to the proportion of Muslims, than the number of Christian terrorists relative to the population of Christians.

None of the ones you mention btw, mentioned religion as their motivation. Which "Christian fundamentalists use their religion as a motivation for mass killings" recently?


Now is the time to buy!

And it's always now.


Is this the biggest crime killing or wounding Canadians today??  I think not.  It would make more sense to be stricter and provide treatment in the areas of guns, mental health, domestic violence, opioids.


Or a commercial for one of those survival pack food companies, where they sell you a whole weeks worth of food, and it comes in a backpack. Ideal for helping out those bear folks who've been lost in the woods without a score or handout.

One pack of goodies can sustain a bear family of four, for three days. ;)

{Snickers would be OK, if they could dub in laughter as the bears have their fun snack.}


Every country buying aircraft has many things to consider not just the price of purchase and operation.Canada because of its size needs a long range reliable  aircraft that can operate from austere northern air strips,Ability to detect and  kill possible threats at distance.What are these threats ,principally Russian Bears ,Blinders and Backfires with cruise missiles. coming at North   America over the pole.They will be possibly acompaniedby  fighters and be aerial refueled.So we need a long range plane supplemented by aerial refuelling.We currently have justtwo converted Airbus aircraft.
They must have long range kill,Meteor missile is probably the best.
For operation elsewhere in NATO they should have a strike capability be able to defend themselves. As to offsets Magellan  is already building and has a contract for 1000 horizontal tail surfaces for the F35. Boeing the  is already buying components from Canada and I'm sure any future purchase will come with offsets .


Canadian culture should support itself ,not be shoved down our throats. If we don't watch it we don't need it. My choice. Quit stealing my hard earned tax dollars and focus on the economy.


Somebody post the negative flyer.  Why does it matter?  It will get lots of Hawaii fans angry and compensate by donating money to UH men's volleyball or get more people to attend UH playoff and other regular volleyball men's games.  Also UCLA is very well respected by many Hawaii residents as a solid academic and sports school  Psych 101.  This is a gift.  Use it to Hawaii's advantage and get the players and fans motivated.  Controlled anger is a useful emotion (Arnold Schwarzenegger- Terminator 3).  Agree UCLA is not UH's real opponent to getting to the final four but evoking strong emotions and will could be useful to the players to carry UH in postseason play if all opposing teams really think UH has a panty nickname (even Ben Jay and Chow genuinely believed Rainbow stood for gays and lesbians) and people are saying Wade is a panty coach (not me)


Not sure what the logic is behind the assertion you should only have US stocks in an RRSP?

The only relevant factor of when it comes to an RRSP or any registered account is the tax implication.  Generally speaking you want to avoid holding stocks or investments in an RRSP if upon withdrawal the money will be subject to a higher rate of tax.

The only difference (for your typical investor) between US stocks and Canadian stocks in this regard is the taxation of eligible Canadian dividends.  So while it may make more sense to keep Canadian dividend stocks in cash account or TFSA that doesn't equate to saying your RRSP should only hold US stocks.  It really depends on your current and expected future tax rate, as well as your overall portfolio composition.


In 500 years you will be no better off no matter how you weep for your dead children today.


Bring on the Dumpsters!!!! I'm a, 3rd generation hoarder and it STOPS w/me.
Or so I've said for years then my B-friend moved in and I didn't know he was a hoarder till it was too late. It killed our relationship.  I asked him when it's it too much? He said NEVER. Glad Mom died and left him well fixed. My dumpster arrives next Friday.


It's something that can sometimes happen to the fourth one I open!


This is the right decision. Football is a great game, an interesting tactical and strategic mix  when the game is played at the elite level. And yes I am counting the CFL as an elite league. However, there is an ugly side to the sport which can not be overlooked any longer. In the seventies football fans were in awe over the punishment that football players of all levels endured to play the game. The players were considered idols because they represented a level of toughness that  transcended them from the regular Joe's who stayed in the stands. However, this turned out to be false,  and the truth was that there players weren't super human and the cost was much greater than sports fans understood. I find it very difficult to watch the game now. Knowing the real cost of this entertainment takes a lot of the thrills out of the experience.


As long as you're sent with him, Conservatroll. Not the first time you've suggested players should be "sent home."


I want Trump to fire the first shot. That will guarantee he gets impeached as the President can not take such preemptive actions unless there is a need for a defensive action against an actual attack.  Congress approved of the infamous WMD invasin of Iraq.  Without Congressses approval to invade NK Trump could be giving Congress all the evidence they require to hold Donald accountale.


oh please obama clearly interfered...

President Trump’s claims that the Obama administration sought to undermine his presidency received some support on Wednesday from a New York Times report on the Obama White House’s activities in the weeks before the inauguration.


This is perhaps the most vicious example of "catch and release" imaginable. Catch and release these poor individuals so they can serve as a never ending source of employment across the spectrum from drug dealers to judges.   I would ask how much did that lady pictured pay for that meal?  What did she do to earn it?  Does she understand the concepts that effort results in reward and that self discipline (including avoiding drugs over lunch)  protects one from hazards?     If she is mentally incapable of functioning in society than shouldn't she be institutionalized to protect herself and the general public?  What actual good is accomplished by "warehousing" her in an enviornment of law enforcement and social welfare that doesn't end the cycle of behavior that is the source of the problem?


Ms Friedheim, sorry to have participated in the diversion of the comment from your main point, the march itself.  But anyway, here's another science story to further stray away from your main points.

http://circa.com/scitech/science/the-voracious-appetite-of-these-worms-could-help-reduce-plastic-waste

I mean, since the leftists also read this site and comment, they might like this article on the wax worm eating plastic.


Pro abortion plaform is just another form of "Consumerism" (see consumerism article on the front page today).


This is an awful law. Tenants can finish their lease or find someone to sublet it. It is the job of the police to protect someone. But now the owner is responsible and will lose money for no reason that was caused by them. It is infuriating. Especially since renters can go get a "bogus" doctor letter at any time. Just like they already do for "service dogs" stating that a dog is needed as a companion animal--a far cry from a service dog for a blind person. You can find a doctor to sign anything. It should require a police report at minimum. If it is real threat, then why won't a police report be required? Awful law.


He looked like a stalker.  Creepy!


As long as Canadians buy cheap imported products, they have to sell Canadian products abroad. And because Canadians don't work in factories for ten cents a day, all we have to sell that anyone wants are our natural resources. The way to fight global warming isn't to stop selling oil to people who are still using it; the way is to eliminate unnecessary fossil fuel use. Cars need gasoline, but why use coal to generate electricity, when Saskatchewan has plenty of uranium?


Don't forget the Bowling Green Massacre! Or Sweden! God only knows how many innocent Christian victims were killed in those two attacks.


Oh please - so a common editorial practice to use a time worn phrase that is common parlance to grab attention and get folks to read NOW becomes some type of *unfortunate but usual NCR tactic*.  Please, every new organizations follows these internal rules (some news organizations ONLY sensationalize and do this with no substantive or actual documentation or facts - think EWTN, Fox News, Breitbart, etc.)

Too quick - really - in your slanted opinion, only.  Click counts - ah, yes, the dreaded click counts.

Yes, putting phrases, headlines, words in quotations is the acceptable practice (guess it is wrong only if NCR does it).  Talk about a double standard.

But, agree, "humiliation is a necessary part of growing in humility, whether it's an individual or news site"
Glad to see that you realize your humiliation as a necessary part of your need to grow in humility.  Does that mean we will see fewer posts from you or more balanced posts?  No hope for the likes of Fox, EWTN, etc.


Nice whiney concession speech Garrison.

In Keillor's home state of MN - "Republican candidate Donald Trump has won the first round of Minnesota’s mock election for high school students, narrowly beating out Democratic rival Hillary Clinton."

Buh Bye Democrats.  Time to man up and accept the election results like you asked Donald Trump to do.


Exactly Mark and all the tributarily thoughts that flow from that.

Premier Clark has had years to raise concerns about handling US coal bound for Asia. Her silence has been deafening.

The only reason this is even an issue, is because of the BC election in a couple of weeks, and her team have handed her a list of quick wins to roll out each day in order to try and woo votes.

All of my experience is flying in lower Southeast Alaska where we use air taxis/float and wheel, to get out to the outer islands and areas where there are no roads or water access to.
People fly in and out for doctor and dentist appointments, shopping, and to get to Ketchikan to catch a ferry or jet to further destinations.
I think the difference in tipping, is the air taxi's who fly summer visitors on pre-arranged tours. Most of the passenger are off the cruise ships and take a Misty Fjord's flight tour or a Bear tour.
There are also the folks who come up and are flown out to remote forest service cabins, they charter the plane and tip the pilot for returning to pick them up.
The air taxi /float pilots work for companies with staff support for freight and  mail delivery.
Our "bush" is flying over water and 17 plus million acres of Tongass National Forest and Misty Fjord Wilderness and National Monument. The temperate rain forest weather is a huge challenge daily,12 months a year.


Sorry - misread your comment.

The Confederacy was an explicit rejection of the American ideals in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

They weren't Americans.
