I don't mind mounting a campaign within our borders against another Canadian politician. When you take our politics outside our country and publicly air what you believe is dirty laundry (which in this case was begun by a Conservative Government, not a Liberal Government), I am disgusted. Disgusted enough that I have always voted Conservative. I will no longer vote for a Conservative candidate, even if he or she is considered a close and loved friend or relative. Dirty politics has always disgusted me but going to the US media, especially in the Trump era is disgustingly low. Thanks for undermining so many things Canada has to deal with this low life Government on.


The Point is ... all he has done was met with someone to obtain opposition information.... there is nothing beyond that ... if you and the rest of the crazy left want to spin that in to conspiracy to commit treason go right ahead ... anyone with any objectivity will be laughing because the proposition is that ludicrous


And I had to "dig" to find this article, which seems to be a bit "buried" on the DP website, when even the NYTimes had it front and center, on their front page at their site. Hmmmmm.


I agree, Mr. Atkinson: beware!
As a kid in Minnesota I remember my Mom cooking up big iron frying pans of morels in bacon grease. SO good! Then one time Dad got sick as a dog. Now, mind you, my Dad was a tough, hard working farmer's son, he powered through just about everything without a complaint, including a bout with Asian Flu and a case of Scarlet Fever, but I'll never forget his words regarding the mushrooms: "Well, they won't kill you but they'll sure make you wish they had!"
All I knew was one kind had a hollow stem and one had a solid stem and you had better darned well check each and every one. And then go back and check them again.
Now that I think about it I seem to recall herds of people descending on Tok to pick mushrooms where there was a huge forest fire a few years back.


Ah the old bait and switch, let the buyer beware.


I would have thought our PM would have flown just a bit further west when visiting Calgary the other day, and stopped in at one of the evacuation centres to lend some moral support.

Mind you, he also gave BC a miss on his cross-Canada town hall community forums this year.


What would expect when the cops have taken a ration of crap lately about almost everything and are under restriction and rules that the crooks aren't. Still believe that the police should all take their vacations the same month and maybe people will appreciate them when they come back and the locals can eliminate a lot of problems in the interim.


Joshua McElwee wrote : "In 2008, Russian troops crossed the northern border of Georgia".

However, this version of the events has been called into question.

In their November 6, 2008 New York Times article entitled "Georgia Claims on Russia War Called Into Question", C. J. Chivers and Ellen Barry wrote : "Newly available accounts by independent military observers of the beginning of the war between Georgia and Russia this summer call into question the longstanding Georgian assertion that it was acting defensively against separatist and Russian aggression".

Did it really take that long for Oregon that long to start teaching mathematics beyond the 6th grade?


True but city won't put resources back into airport. Placing HPD back in there extents the county's liability. If a PD officer shot the dog, both State and City would be the deep pocket. Last year there  was sexual harassment case that ended in descsion for complainant, she was K9 handler for Securitas, fellow K9 harassing, final decision although she was employed by a private company at airport, was a State contract, therefore state also liable. She got $30.000.00, which was small but decision was a warning. Securitas settled right away to keep themselves out of the lime light.


Good comment but I believe it contains a typo: "Despite their massive population India produces only 6% of global GHG, or roughly 3 times what Canada produces with a much smaller [should be "larger"] population." As they say, China is the factory to the world, but India is the office.  I saw Thomas Homer-Dixon speak at Carleton University. Someone asked why he mocked Harper and thought the world of Justin Trudeau when Trudeau had just adopted Harper's targets. He replied that he felt  in his inner soul that Trudeau believed in those targets and Harper didn't or words to that effect.


"I think you don't know what you think you know about this"? I'm not claiming to know much here. As far as I can tell, you don't forfeit your car when you get a DUI. Anecdotal and from the State of Alaska's website that's far from the case. There's a bit of a gulf to cross between forfeiting your property and having it impounded. I don't think you know as much as you think you know about this.


One thing Canadians will not stand for is other Canadians...

So now there are two levels or set of Canadians? You Liberals are an arrogant bunch assuming you all talk for all Canadians.


I meant to say "mob" not "riot."


He was also a Katy Perry fan.  That probably drove him over the edge.


This first hike in the BoE’s bank rate in more than a decade can be usefully compared to the first hike in our central bank’s overnight rate in almost seven years earlier in July. The BOE hike followed on the inflation rate rising to 3.0% in September, and forecast to rise above the upper bound to 3.2% in October. The BoC hike followed on the inflation rate falling to 1.3% in May from 1.6% in April. The inflation rate fell again, to 1.0% in June, at the lower bound of the BoC’s target range.


You won't do much with a 3rd grade education kiddo.


Wow, that sounds like what happened to Merrick Garland.


Correct Paul, What a hate fest!  I am trying to be understanding, they are still getting over the trouncing President Trump gave Clinton in the election. And what a trouncing it was!


I assume that when MSW says that he especially liked Fr. Sirico's tweet he is speaking ironically?


UBC huh? That's where Mary Bryson teaches no? Can anyone explain what the educational purpose of springing hard core pornography on unsuspecting, impressionable young women is? Seems kind of predatory to me but apparently its standard procedure over there


Regarding: "In the interview, Hoffmann von Rumerstein expresses doubt that Burke's Dec. 6 action was legal according to the order's own constitution and laws."
- This whole incident lays out the parameters of ArchbRaymond's (he who was moved from LaCrosse, removed from St. Louis, dismissed from the Apostolic Signatura and other committees of the Holy See, now sidelined as chaplain to the knight and dames of Malta) knowledge.
- He clearly is an expert on the canon law of gentlemen's prophylatics. However, the niceties of civil and international law as it pertains to sovereign entities clearly escapes him.
- It is often noted that the symptom of hubris is the constant acting as if the hammer one has makes all the world a nail.
- ArchbRaymond is clearly qualified to preside at a tribunal where church law is required to remind the participants that the rape of children and molestation of young people by clerics is wrong.


This analysis only holds if you don't get really sick or have a bad accident.  If that had happened while you had no insurance you would have used expensive hospital services you would be unable to pay for as you state you can't afford insurance premiums.  At that point your health care is paid for by the hospital or your fellow Americans.  You become a leach on the system and we tax payers get to pay for it when you lose your personal game of health insurance Russian roulette.


Gilded banishment.


No income tax while the state is handing out checks every October. If you feel you are entitled to state funds get it from the entitlement department. Don't rob Peter to pay Paul.


Wrong headline!  This man may have been Peter Boy's father, but he was not his dad. As an old saying goes, "Any man can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad."

I take it you didn't read the NCR article, the thread, or the article I cited. It would help to read them.


If he's so unpopular, then why did people vote for him?


I did, in fact, read your article, and I agree that you said that.  The problem is that it's simply not true.  “Journalists today also typically understand the fallacies of objectivity as a fixed and limited concept. They try to transcend its conventional boundaries by valuing and weighing information on its perceived merits, not by using objectivity as some sort of rigid scale designed to give equal time to unequal ideas."  But that is EXACTLY what you are doing with the GMO issue.  You are pretending as if both sides have equal merit and that Joan's "conflict of interest" is somehow relevant to that fact.   Should high school teachers disclose the fact that "Big Government" pays them to teach Round Earth Theory?  What is the conflict?  The Earth is round and GMOs are safe -- why is it relevant to disclose the fact that someone is being paid to report scientific fact?  We don't need to hear from the flat Earthers -- they're wrong.  It's your job to tell everyone that fact.


Name a couple.


Article 2, Impeachment of Nixon: "He misused the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Secret Service, and other executive personnel, in violation or disregard of the constitutional rights of citizens, by directing or authorizing such agencies or personnel to conduct or continue electronic surveillance or other investigations for purposes unrelated to national security, the enforcement of laws, or any other lawful function of his office"

Trump, just prior to his departure on this trip, stood on the White House lawn and directed the Justice Department to investigate Clinton. That was an impeachable offense.

Where in my OP did I identify myself as a liberal? I'm only referring to the excessive media attention Mr. O'Leary will likely attract in relation to the others in the leadership race.


Mr. Fennimore, To say that a voter should cast a ballot according to the beliefs and values of a "privileged religion" is very insulting to the rest of us. Your preferred theology was indeed thought about by our Founding Fathers, and the 1st clause of the 1st amendment is no accident, and that this provision was so prominent and on their minds then was because they had seen, far too much of it, in Europe, your religion's entanglement with government. In fact, the Inquisition was ongoing at the very time. The best thing for our country is to have our judges to remain non-partisan


The federal government can't fix a payroll system yet voters trust them to wisely spend about $300 billion of our tax dollars each year?   Now, tell us again, someone please, just how the Canadian economy will thrive under these miscreants as their spending bloats the deficit to >$30 billion/year  over the next four years.


Not to mention the zip-fastener, which helps to warn the sheep that Hamish is coming.


Wonder if he learned a lesson?

"Donald Trump has already softened up Canada and Mexico to make trade concessions with his tough talk of a 35-per-cent border tax"

That's funny, or should I say; get lost maggot brain.

The United Sates corporations control  a disproportionate % of this world's business activity, Thus/so, lets (all of us/the world) put a 35% tax on all I phones, Google, Facebook, CAT, Exxon,  and any other US multinational corporation.

Go for it Gents, I'm in.........................

You shouldn't make rash generalizations like PHD scientists are legalistic. There are a vast array of sciences, each of which demands its own discipline and behaviors. I doubt that any of them demands a legalistic way of thinking!

OTOH, individuals in almost any field can be legalistic, especially when discussing issues outside their field of expertise.


If the NDP-Green coalition doesn't fix BC's scandalous political financing in their first week, they won't be getting my vote or a heckuva lot of others.  They must know that.
So I suggest they will fix it. They can get examples of laws from every other province.


It sure sounds inconvenient to be an illegal alien residing in this country. I wonder what alternatives these people might choose that would make their life less inconvenient


But who is buying.


The Globe and Mail should just shut down comments. There no longer is any intelligent commentary going on here; there hasn't been since the Sun closed comments.
This is a glaring example of the abysmal quality of commentary: nothing but the same bigoted whining from "taxpayers" about how their puny tax payments are being used for purposes they don't understand. Give it a break.


Klastri is Mr aclu in Honolulu. One of the legion of haters of those who are sick and tired of far left governmental control of everyday life and twisting of reality using mainstream media. They have no rational basis for their hate so cannot objectively view the actions of the new president to determine if they are adding to our woes as citizens or working to lift some of the burden. There is something profoundly wrong. Jean Baudrillard analyzed it back in the day and it has only progressively become more dysfunctional. Yet the dems cling to it. Why? It's their only hope to stay on top. Power becomes them.


'Sally' is awesome, I don't want to see government of any kind ask for more taxes, for Sally or doctors,  farmers or plumbers, no more taxes!


Cliff and his merry band of idiots. Wow......not surprising these alarmist ideologists can't even get an address right.


Dang!!... 17 seconds! The Habs got lucky...actually, they worked harder than the Rangers and the "harder you work the luckier you get" as they say.  They were desperate and played like it and it payed off..But I'm disappointed.  Enjoy it for now Hab fans.

After the Masters, the Habs and Sens annual exit from the playoffs are spring  highlights for me....(when they make the playoffs that is) and I'm never disappointed.....Majestic!


You're right. White people never experience dark clouds.


Eric, the mayor has said that he appointed three of the commissioners but that that is pretty much the extent of his involvement.


11:44 AM — A Facebook group called “Terminate the Republican Party” seemingly celebrates Wednesday’s assault. The Belleville News-Democrat reported that Hodgkinson belonged to this group.


Loren,

That "dozen" is a political tactic Hillary Clinton has mastered where her supporters like George Soros, working through political front groups, pay people to make public statements condemning her opponents or accusers. At least three of those new accusers made statements that directly contradicted their past statements about him.

Nobody has gone to prison for vulgar language but they have gone to prison for doing far less than the FBI Director said Hillary Clinton has done. So, where is the outrage over her actions? If we're going to shoot words at evil, let's aim our verbal guns at the elephant in the room, not the squeaking mouse.


Of all the items on the Trump agenda so far, this is perhaps the most disturbing.  The immigration policies may cause brutal suffering to individuals and families that will last a lifetime.  Loosening of environmental standards, if he can make it stick and influence other governments to go down the same road, has the potential to damage all people, everywhere, for generations.

The irony in this is that there is now some potential that Trump Tower in New York will be flooded by rising sea levels within the lifetime of his own children.


Soros is a fear mongerer. His predictions are about as accurate as a monkey throwing a dart at a board.


Cardinal Sean, which way does the PC wind blow this morning?


Me too, LOL


The reference was not about the time, but the cost to park. Where I teach it's $20 for a few hours. And it's not downtown. An expense that is not covered by the college. Students are often shocked to hear that I have to pay for my own parking.


with all the ignorant left wingers here perhaps we can get them some help with thier stupidity


1 in 15 Canadians are on social assistance and we are helping more?........how stupid are we.....send them back...PERIOD!


Maybe we could offer to dismantle supply management. Pacify the Americans and help out the average Canadian family, all at the same time.


From the Western Regional Climate Center:

"The highest temperatures in Colorado occur in the northeastern plains, and sometimes exceed 115° F. Because of the very low relative humidity accompanying these high temperatures, hot days cause less discomfort than in more humid areas. The usual winter extremes in the plains are from zero to 10° F or 15° F below zero."

From Wikipedia, "Coffea arabica": "The plant can tolerate low temperatures, but not frost, and does best with an average temperature between 15 and 24 °C (59 and 75 °F)."


Why can't these players protest on their own time? Why make the games political. As Broncos fans we want to watch it for the entertainment and protesting this Country, that has given them so much, does not sit well with us. You cannot find a Country on this planet without faults and if you do you can decide if you want to leave America behind. We want to stand together and make it better, but are you doing that with your protests? Mr Trump went too far but we also understand his frustration while Mr Goodall proved himself the Hippocrite again!!


1960s arithmetic test:

"A logger cuts and sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is four-fifths of that amount. What is his profit?"

'70s new-math test:
"A logger exchanges a set (L) of lumber for a set (M) of money. The cardinality of Set M is 100. The set C of production costs contains 20 fewer points. What is the cardinality of Set P of profits?"

'80s "dumbed-down" version:
"A logger cuts and sells a truckload of lumber for $100. Her cost is $80, her profit is $20. Find and circle the number 20."

Current version:
"An unenlightened logger cuts down a beautiful stand of 100 trees in order to make a $20 profit. Write an essay explaining how you feel about this as a way to make money. Topic for discussion: How did the forest birds and squirrels feel?"


Sorry, I never had opportunity or inclination to get into those.  I have heard that those who have done time have lots of opportunities for this, however.


When even Krauthammer, the lifetime fascist, deserts the candidate, few still remain to support the most recent reincarnation of Il Duce, Trump.


Voter fraud and voter suppression are very, very different things.  Voter fraud...persons who do not have the legal right to vote and vote anyway has been repeatedly shown to be statistically non-existant.  This is not a secret.

Voter suppression is a very different animal.  It is the systematically applied strategy of using every available tactic to keep people who have the legal right to vote from voting.  It has been documented again and again across the Red States in our country.  Tactics like "voter roll purges" wherein everyone having the name of a felon is removed from the rolls and has to prove they are not that felon in order to get re-registered.  Tactics like having fewer voting booths in precincts which are "Democratic"; tactics like shortening hours, closing the polls even though there are citizens waiting to vote; tactics like refusing to have early hours so individuals can vote w/o having to take time off from work.  The list goes on...the editorial is on target GCrum


I've been following Donkel's posts for a while, and commenting somewhat counter to him, my being against the tax credits and SB-21.  However, I decided to look into the matter of the smaller oil companies.  While I'm still against the tax credits and SB-21, I'm beginning to see some of his points.  It has evidentially been the small oil companies that have proven most of the oil and gas deposits in Alaska, and it has been the giant oil companies who appear to have bought their way in, and elbowed the small companies away from what should have belonged to them by right of first come, first served.  To top it off, the small companies are in the practice of maximizing the oil and gas reserves, pumping slower, so as to recover the most possible, out of each field.  The big companies seem to be high-grading the leases, pumping so fast, that they suck a "void" within the fields ... which leaves a lot of what otherwise could have been recoverable, had they pumped a little slower.

The reality is there has not been one recorded attack on a human involving a registered papered legitimate American Pit Bull Terrier and the fact is if a dog attacks a human it in essence confirms it wasn't really a pit bull but a mixed breed mutt that resembled a pit bull and even pet experts and shelter workers struggle to identify a pit bull regardless of what the propagandist assert daily?


The age profile of the immigrant stream is very close to our own so that even mass immigration, which is what we have now, has almost no impact on aging.  Aging is going to happen anyway and mass immigration is a broad spectrum disaster for Canadians so there is no reason to pursue this fruitless policy.

Cheers,
John Meyer


In Alaska landowners sacrifice their ownership of oil/gas, as -by our State Constitution - those resources are held "in common" for the people of Alaska. Likewise, the proceeds from those resources are held in common &, appropriately, provide an annual dividend - just as any other property does for its owners.


It was a joke, Steven.  Even the LA Times said so.

Unbelievable...


In fairness, the article did point out that sometimes it helps and sometimes it doesn't.


This article just shows how prone to overreaction people are nowadays.  The media and political parties thrive by creating and exploiting division.


My personal opinion is that you got it backwards.  No overpopulation thanks to climate change, probably lots of border crossings to escape famine in the early stages though.


Ho hum, not the irrational Brooks Spector again.


Your candidate lost, eat your crow and put away the crying towel.


Will the accused still be presumed innocent until proven guilty in Justin Trudeau's Canada ?


It sounds too good to be true.


Jordan Bell is currently slotted at #37 at Draftexpress.com.  At just over 22 years old, there is only one player ranked ahead of Bell that’s legitimately older (Clemson’s Jaron Blossomgame at 23 years old and ranked one spot ahead at #36).  Bell waited a year out of high school to join the Ducks, so he’s pretty old for a draft this year’s draft class.  The argument will also be made that Bell is better off working on skill building full time as a pro, than relatively part time as a collegian.  Ultimately a big weakness for Dillon Brooks, Tyler Dorsey and Bell is their lack of length.  That’s a hard deficiency to overcome.  The intangible bonuses for Bell returning for his final season is finally getting national attention in the preseason, going down as one of the all-time great players in Oregon basketball history, and making another national championship run with the guys.


White inbreeds?  Are you a member of Rev. Wrights church in Chicago. Or a brown or black, Cool, Cluck, Clan movement?  BLM?


TAPS should be shut down ASAP and condemned, then it can be remodeled into a funky but useful state owned gasline, until we get the flexpipe gas-grid into full swing.

I was a young activist at UAF 1970 when TAPS was being "planned", and I advocated for TAPS to be built as a gasline, as an opportunity to evolve the petrochemical industry from using rotten crude as primary feedstock to using sweet gas as a superior hydrogen rich feedstock. In the 1960's we had the technology to convert crude to gas efficiently. Hydrogen does most of the work, cleaner than coal, but coalwater can be more valuable than crude, if yer smart.

IMHO:  TAPS wrecked Alaska, and it has forced the pattern of thinking into quicksand statewide. AK has become a CargoCult of mindless mosquitoes chanting "Pressure in the Pipe" and dancing madly in the streets.

Pappy said; Son, yer gonna drive me to drinkin' if you don't stop drivin' that hotrod Lincoln... speeding the pipe with DilBit caused the the '89spill.


Surprising in this day and age that nobody recognized what was happening and what to do about it.  Everyone who takes CPR training learns the Heimlich maneuver as part of it, and it surely would've worked on a chunk of doughnut.

Probably not everyone knows choking's "universal sign of distress" -- both hands to the throat.  Doesn't sound like Malouff did.  These avoidable deaths are unfortunate.


Hope they make Crime Stoppers as there will be a reward.  Coincide that with playing the video on TV news and garans ball bearings, somebody

Compare Tammy Duckworth with any Republican running for the US Senate from any state in the Union. She is head and shoulders above any single one of them even while she sits in her wheel chair. When Donald Trump goes down in flames, as he surely will, and the GOP gets burnt (as they well deserve), Tammy will be there for all the 50 states, Hawaii included. We were proud of Mark Takai and we honor his memory as his service honored Hawaii. What is hard to understand is how the Republican Party of Hawaii can still support Donald Trump - but they do. Happily their candidate will be history ton November 9th and Hawaii will rejoice. Tammy and Brian and Mazie. What else can you ask?


Thankfully, self-driving is what is known Hard Problem that requires AI to solve 100%. We can get some of it working today, but just like with chat bots, it will fail to perform outside of narrow range of 'usual' parameters and will require human driver to bail it out.

Now, BlackBerry going into self-driving many years after competition (Google, Uber, Tesla) will end up about as well as BB Bold in the age of smartphones. I am surprised that after so many years of wasteful bleeding of money they are still flailing around.


Ha ha ha, at less tell the truth.  BEST (Better Eugene Springfield TRANSIT) was a Facebook group that was formed by a bunch of embarrassed former and current (at the time) LTD officials and diehard transit fanatics.  Those people formed BEST in a desperate attempt to salvage LTD's battered public imagine after all of the LTD lies and "misinformation" was exposed regarding the West Eugene EmX boondoggle.

BEST also favored the SW-SAZ debacle, which turned-out into an entertaining defeat for the corrupt city manager.  BEST and the League are very biased and don't care in the less about "community goals"; they're more interested in ram-rodding their silly ideas onto the taxpayers.  As time goes by, these taxpayers are starting to see this, and don't appreciated being mislead.  I don't blame them and will be campaigning for NO votes.

you bet clayton,

…take more money from the citizen and give the legislature that money too so they can hand it over to their corporate masters in the form of corporate welfare.

Don't presuppose anyone else should give them more money, but you go right on ahead.

Leave everyone else out of your amazing and awesome plan.

"Too bad you weren't there to show the other patrons how to engage in a shootout and get your butt shot off or worse."

That's not nice, Roy.

Thugs need to be shot when brandishing weapons at citizens while committing a violent crime.    Then the other thugs would think twice about doing other similar acts.


John Beebee, perfect. 10,000 "thumbs up".


I would call SS a "Payout". We have all Paid IN for years, now it's time to get our money back as a Payout. This is completely different from giving citizens Medicaid or other monies for free.

If they want to get rid of SS, then start with kids, not with us who are nearing the 'Payout' time in our lives. I don't care if they get rid of it, just do it fairly, BEFORE anyone pays into it.


Um, what??


$1,800 drug sale gets, Benjamin Meneses III  a nonviolent 26 year old Alaskan man a 20 year term in jail when 10% of Alaska's legislators went to jail for around 1 year for selling the people out in favor of a big oil tax deal just a few years ago in the VECO sting!.

Clearly , you have no experience or knowledge whatsoever with the medical cannabis industry, the rules, regulations, and very, very strict chemical compositions of the various strains, ALL of which have very specific guidelines. Clearly you understand nothing about the various medicinal components of cannabis, the CBD and THC levels which need to be precise in order to achieve very particular results for the user.
This is one of those times when educating yourself would be time much better spent than would writing "witty" comments on the Globe & Mail's website. The science...yes, science...is much more complicated than you think.


Stay out of Richmond!!!


What it boils down to is that human nature tells us that this is immoral and unnatural sexual deviance.  To quiet their own consciousness they want to force society to accept them.  Its not okay and never will be.  They should not receive rewards and benefits for the deviant example they are infecting our society and children with.  So please don't bury the seriousness of this wrong choice under rhetorical sentimentalism.  It is wrong at every level society.


He didn't have a plan to replace Obamacare. The last attempt was to punish states that expanded medicare by diverting money from them to states that didn't.  The tax plan is likely not happening, at least not in a "big bang" way, since it will be tax cuts which will increase the deficit, and a fair number of conservatives oppose deficits.


So your pizza isn't guaranteed to be freshly baked.


HMMM! Wolf in sheep clothing? I'm VERY suspicious when I hear a push in AK to vote against DeVos. Another ploy by the Democrats to cause obstruction? Vote YES to confirm her.


In most cases Don, using their brains and sound investments. Give it a try.


"We love this country, and we want to be accepted."

I could say the same thing. But I am accepted, because I follow the law. I speak English, rather than speak another language and expect everybody to cater to my language. I don't hold an Xavier rights march and see if I can be a bigger victim than everybody else.


You, Jim, and Roy are the only ones who agree.


And to that comment add any member of the provincial or city office.

If you get a response from those minions it is typically: "that issue falls under someone else's mandate"


Sickening, and it shows how far the disease has spread that McKinsey are still convinced they can salvage something from this debacle (crime) - keep the loot, and stay in business - when their best solution would be to declare every detail of this sordid deal. And the others, which there are undoubtedly (e.g. Transnet). Sunlight is, as someone reminded us recently, the best disinfectant.


We must imitate Christ in every aspect of His life.  Of course this is true, especially in his total self-gift for the true good of others.

We must die to our self as Scripture tells us repeatedly.


Oh no you are wrong there.  The Cubans could vote and came out at close to 100%.  Of course, they had to vote by law and there was only one choice on the ballot, but why let the facts spoil a perfectly wonderful propaganda exercise?


Does anyone remember how a last minute investigation got Bill elected? I do. "Flashback: Bill Clinton cheered 11th hour indictment that doomed Bush re-election." Remember?
"Many Republicans claimed that the indictment made by special prosecutor Lawrence Walsh against former Reagan-era Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger the weekend before the 1992 election cost Bush a second term. The indictment, later thrown out, challenged Bush's claim that he did not know about a controversial arms-for-hostages deal that dogged the Reagan-Bush administration." I guess Hillary forgot also. This is Deja Vue with the names changed is all. I love it when the mud gets blown back in the face of the thrower. Hillary's campaign is by far the dirtiest.


I am shocked at how the comments virtually all support removing a ban on polygamy from the criminal code. I guess a future Mohammad Shafia won't have to pretend that the first of his two wives is just an aunt to his children to get into the country . Look for it in Justin "Get the f--k out of my way" Trudeau's second term, if he gets one. I would expect it would still be against the law for him to kill her, but Trudeau has already taken the passage condemning honour killings out of the citizenship guides, so one can't really be sure.


People talk about Islamophobia. A phobia is an irrational fear of something. Islamophobia suggests an irrational fear of Islam and Muslims who follow Islam.

When a Muslim follower of Islam like Abdul Razak Ali Artan and other Muslims attack, maim and kill innocent non believers  and when non Muslims can't tell when moderate Muslim followers of Islam will turn radical, lash out and maim and  kill non believers,  is it irrational to have a fear of followers of Islam?


Mayor Benson has been angry and breaking all the rules all year.  She boiled over when she attacked a councilmember.  Mayor can't call a recess. Morgan had a right to continue meeting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rv2fNik8Czc


I am so glad you can see that.  I hope you will take it to heart and stop it.


If the US Bishops are ppaying little attention to "The Joy of Love", that might be proportionate to the attention people are paying to the US Bisops.


Thank you Mr. Farnsworth for reminding us that this whole  UO mess shouldn't just be swept under the rug.  Bad as it was we should at least learn something,  find out why this happened.   Who or what  was responsible? Do we need to change the system, find new personnel, or what? (We note the UO seems to be taking tighter control over the Bach festival now.)
In particular we should find out if  there's any  truth to that bizarre story that Halls was fired  because he shared a funny comment with Mr. Mobley, a good friend  and African-American singer.
It's one thing to have scandals in the athletic department, but in the music school???!


Wow!  I almost made the exact same reference to the long-time Lakers PA.  Good call.  When Essig announces the Oregon starters, the other voice that comes to mind is the long-time SNL announcer (It's Saturday Night Live! With Dana Carvey…….Nora Dunn……..)


It would appear that for years the  Department of Hawaiian Home Lands, which "Isn't a housing agency" and those providing it its funding have had a failure to communicate.  I did so love it when Jobie Masagatani said she must do “a better job of educating” Senator Brian Schatz. I finely understand the meaning of the localism "talking bubbles".
.
Given the plethora of local experts on Hawaiian Affairs I am hopeful that someone can edify me as to when and why the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands acquired the Bowl-O-Drome. Does the site or its former purpose have some historical significance to Native Hawaiians?

Nothing like an aggressive neighbor to get a family to finally circle the wagons after years of separate isolation.

No matter the spin from Ottawa, in the end, you can thank Trump for this one.


Well, the reliability of the data gathered and the reliability of algorithms used to analyze that data need to be an integral part of the teaching of statistics...


Unfortunately, the president is disgusting, racist, sexist and irrational. We know nothing about his medical records - I suspect he has a severe psychological disorder. Time for the 25th Amendment before he destroys the entire planet.


Let's not forget Muslims who are hurt by Sunni /Shia anger, hatred, intolerance and violence. Sunnis just killed 88 Muslim Sufis in Pakistan.


They were holding till now. No regulations, open season on everyone who uses the internet.


He is guilty all right, he is just lucky it happened so long ago.


It seems that conservatives got all riled up by speculation and can't calm down now that the reality is a banal revision.


Whazzie: Matthews, Marner and Nylander are already playing 200% better than Bozak could ever attain with his tenure in the league.  Even Nylander's and Marner's checking  and playmaking is already far, far better than Bozaks and they haven't even completed one season of play at this level and in Bab's hands. If your team is going to become great again, it must make great strides, sport! One of Bozaks greatest problems is he has no sense for shooting, so it doesn't matter if he is a right handed shot.


Our entire country is childish.  This guy's just a reflection of it.


The LNG gasline is about profit, not about "job creating" to the oil companies.

Our Alaska Governor Walker does not understand that concept of profit making as the governor spends millions taking care of hiring "buddies" on a LNG gasline that is not economically feasible to private investors and will never happen.


A deeply flawed candidate come president, a deeply flawed election process, and a deeply divided country.

Russia has done what so many previous US administrations have managed to avoid, the discrediting of what was once the standard of democracy.

America is in checkmate.


...baloney...


If anyone is guilty of spreading misinformation, it is Monsef herself. The woman lied like a rug, and she got caught.

How Trudeau - or anyone - can defend a proven liar is beyond me.

Oh wait - they're Fiberals. They're not capable of telling the truth!!!


So’s a private company with one controlling shareholder (aka, fifedom) and a public company. Trump’s experience is very far removed from governing.


Good to hear that!  Good that they Walk the Walk!   Too many just Talk the Talk.   The ones I see from Main street did not appear to be doing that, but electric is not the cheap solution.  There is also a plug-in down by the Arts folks parking lot at 5th and Main.  I have never seen anyone plugged in there.

I wish that hydrogen power were fully developed and feasible.  Perceived Safety and refueling are the problem there.


Playing with such a large segment of the economy is a very slippery grenade. Especially when the industry says don't grease the pin.


"Without controlling who businesses hire it will fail."

I'd like to see them start with the businesses, make a verification plan and prohibitive consequences for the businesses that fail to comply.


Oh, child.


Doctor Demento, you may be brainwashed sheep but I am not. I read from a variety of news sources, not just G&M or BBC.


That's a lie!


You hit the jackpot.
Rich secular and religious conservatives put their money where there mouth is.
Many progressives have left the Church, and of those left not many are very wealthy.


It’s not a democratic issue. That is the whole point of Roe. It is outside the politcal process, unless being used for electioneering, however you have no passable proposals.


As a US citizen as well, I'm doing everything I can including contacting my US and State Senators, Congressional Reps and US President to publicize what an impulsive and insulting decision PM Trudeau did. NAFTA repercussions for Canada would be appropriate for taking the feelings of Americans and the US for granted.


It is just a matter of time before a cigarette or marijuana ash drops a spark on some urban land or a dry log at White Rock Beach or the grass along our streets and highways. We see it everyday; cigarettes thrown from car windows, dropped on a sidewalk or tossed over there somewhere. Hopefully most of our smokers get this.


Interest in this never-ending "unfounded" series seems to be waning fast.


Better to be in a world of miserable truth than a false utopia of mirrors.


And I thought the gist of my remark was obvious.

Chastisement of women's movements tends, as in the present case, to elide their accomplishments and efforts. I took the question Mr. Manion posed, "Why praise a women's movement..." as an example of such elision. Hence my answer.

Some other items on women's agendas are: equity in work and wages, access to health care, societal support for the rearing and education of children, civil justice across ethnic and economic lines, and freedom from sexual insult and battery.

The women I know who attended the women's march, (the example of a "Women's Movement" offered for discussion) were animated by a wide range of concerns. An objective observer might guess that Trump's "locker-room talk," and subsequent victory,  taken as indicative of a widespread attitude of disrespectful liberty towards women and their persons, was the galvanic force that made the march as big as it was. The recent "#Me Too" uproar supports that view.


Don't you love a happy ending?


In fact, how does anyone know what Trump intends from moment to moment given the growing piles of contradictory statements and deeds emanating by or on behalf of The Donald from hour to hour?

A few more weeks of this and the overwhelming impression both domestically in the US and internationally and within both governmental and public circles will solidly form that Trump is simply playing everyone against everyone else, that he often doesn't know himself what he is trying to achieve by such juggling and that a dangerous chaos is unfolding.


If Trudeau is determined to meddle in Africa of all the countries to visit  with the least influence it's nondescript Liberia.  Surely,  larger and more influential South Africa would be better place to visit to discuss how best to help Africa.  Maybe SA didn't want him so he settled for what he could get


I acknowledge, of course, that the USA is a democracy; that Republicans have won a lot of elections; and that elections have consequences.
Tax policy, economic regulations, and social policy are all coercive, and they all result in taking away money from some people to pay for services or activities that benefit other people, or ideally that benefit all of us. Progressive taxation is intended to place greater burdens on those who have more; Republican policy is onerous for those who have less.  It moves money, resources, and opportunities from the lower and middle classes to the wealthy.  The American Health Care Act is not really a health care act at all, it is an act to provide tax relief to very wealthy people.


Kellyannne is the new face of evil in America. Washed-up peroxide blonde liar... I mean Lawyer.

I'd suggest all should be replaced with Alfred E. Neuman statues, complete with quotes from "The Half-Wit and Wisdom of Alfred E. Neuman."


MP's should condemn anti-Muslim, anti-Christian, and anti-Jewish behaviours and get on with more important matters. Our existing laws should be able to handle any contingencies.


Potentially legitimate complaints are hard to take seriously when they're made by someone who openly views people as not fully human. That attitude is deeply disturbing.


The atrocious mismanagement of the electricity sector continues. Shifting tens of billions of dollars in waste and overcharges to further in the future or from ratepayers to taxpayers is pointless. It was the idiots of the last decade that voted Liberal, so why should people even after the 20-year span of the contracts pay for these mistakes? Unless the Liberals raise taxes again, or add another new tax, taking funds from the general budget only means more debt, so again, it's future Ontario that pays.

The only solution is to legislate changes to the contracts. This strategy has been validated by the courts already; the Ontario government has the right to do so. Many of the (Liberal) people who profited from the ridiculously overpriced contracts have already paid off the cost of their "investment" (some after five years or less of 20-year contracts), so to unilaterally change the contracts from 80c/KWH or 35c/KWH to a more reasonable 15 or 12c/KWH would be perfectly justifiable.


These cardinals cannot answer for the Holy Father the question which was posed.

Therefore, there is nothing "very very telling" about asking the question  - which is a reasonable one - and to which the Holy Father should respond with brevity and clarity in his role as successor to Peter.


For once I would like to see an article where the history of federal/provincial so called loans/grants to Bombardier was clearly outlined. Are these repayable loans ever repaid?


How many boards do you sit on and with what companies? How many OHA contract bids have been won by these companies because of your influence? How about OHA funds and awards to your friends?


The heteros is the clergy largely fled. The gays, both celibate and sexually active know who they are and mostly at peace. It is the Asexuals who simply think of themselves as chaste heterosexuals that are causing all the trouble because they try to impose their personal predilictions on the rest of us. Sadly, there are also the priests who were abused as youth who were patterned to abuse again. They can be any of the three. The Aces, of course, blame the culture rather than the reality of pederasty. Short of interogating seminarians about their own histories of being abused, there is nothing to do but keep vigialent. That, and convince the Aces that what they think of as holiness is in their nature and not true for anyone else.


The writer doesn't write the headline. That's done by an editor on the copy desk. Unfortunately, the editor is often busy and doesn't read the entire story. Sometimes they read only the lead sentence and sometimes they just yell at the reporter "Hey what's this story about?" Then they write the headline. Happens all the time. Similar shortcuts happen in the kitchen at your favorite restaurant but I know you don't want to hear about those.


Children are incredible, they only see their friend, not the colour.  Supports the idea racism is a learned behavior.


Just a billion you say?  I thought it would be more like 2 or 3 billion out of the "private" economy.

First of all, I am not an Amy Demoski fan. Shannyn, I suggest you practice what you preach. "Be careful with your words." How about your words in articles you have written. 1 Calling Pete Kelly a clown, 2 How about Rats butt and
Rats Patootie. Your negative words about Republicans over the years is beyond the pale.How about Ohio Dan? In my opinion, you have called people more names than any other columnist in the dispatch. In fact after 38 years in Anchorage, I have cancelled my paper. because of your attitude. I  am 1 of more than 6000 subscribers less since the Anchorage paper has become the Anchorage Dispatch. Again How about taking a closer look at that a person actually says before you jump to your own negative conclusions.


Why do so many Globe columns insist on telling us "we must" one stupid thing or another.


You're right.  This IS interesting, and something I know nothing about.  I won't ask you for the names of all 50 (or so) that Benny unjustly silenced, but if you could just tell me the names of 4 or 5, so I can read up, I'd appreciate it.


Yes, but that's part of his appeal, everyone is waiting for the next politically incorrect statement to pop out of his mouth. If nothing else, raw unfiltered, say it as he sees it Trump is fairly entertaining to watch.


Such sweeping statements as your 2nd paragraph are SOOO inaccurate and disingenuous.

For SOME Republicans, you're right.  Just like for SOME Democrats that do the same type of thing from the other side.

But that's only SOME.  Heck, anyone that can't see that large swathes of Republicans thought (and still think) just the opposite about Trump than what you describe wasn't paying attention during the nomination.  More than half of the party was fighting Trump's nomination tooth and nail, not just voters but top party leaders all over the place.  Trump had the LEAST support from the party and it's members than any party nominee in modern history.

It just happens that D's ran someone with just as many problems (different problems, but big problems nonetheless).


If you get all of your news from CNN MSNBC CBS and even fox and rely those sources as being factual I can see why you have drank the Kool-aid.


"Keep in mind that demonizing those who hold opposing viewpoints is the tactic of Donald Trump and his base."

That was precisely Caffarra's tactic ... declaring that those who support the normalization of homosexuality in society are the agents of Satan and are bringing about the destruction of civilization. It is impossible to dialogue with the holder of such a priori assumptions. Their Trumpian tactics ... repeatedly demonizing gays ... were and are intentionally malicious. If they weren't then they'd have ameliorated their hate speech with the reminder that gays are to be "accepted with respect, compassion and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided."


Yes... and?

That is why in my post I wrote "as such they have protection at international law that we have enshrined in our domestic legislation."  That domestic legislation is enforceable.

As far as reform, the legislation and processes we now have are in place because in 1985 the Supreme Court of Canada determined that the lack of an oral hearing for a refugee claimant before an independent tribunal was unconstitutional.

See Singh v Canada (Minister of Employment and Immigration), [1985] 1 S.C.R. 177

Singh determined that any person in Canada even without legal status was protected by the Charter.  That decision was based on section 7 rights to security of person and fundamental justice. The SCOC ruled the government's claim that giving hearing to refugees would be burdensome was too utilitarian a concern, and that administrative convenience would rarely be sufficiently compelling to justify infringing a Charter right.

So good luck getting changes past the courts.


When dope smoke floats into the surrounding community, and into the lungs of our young, it becomes everyone's business to bring them to justice. We all have the right to breath fresh air. Marijuana isnt only additive and harmful, it is illegal.

"...Americans will never again see them [media outlets]as neutral arbiters in the dissemination of news and opinion."  Who are you talking about, Will Smith4?

Of COURSE Americans won't regard media outlets "as neutral arbiters in the dissemination of news..." (I've omitted "and opinion" because obviously, any "opinion" is demonstrating a bias one way or the other.  But I digress...)  They myth is that the American people EVER saw them in that light. don't you believe it.

You give Americans far too much credit.  Canadians, Americans, Brits, whatever. We're all human, and love to feel before with think; sound off before we consider, love to...  Well, you get the point.  Or maybe not.  But in any case, since its early outrageous newspaper era, media have NEVER been entirely neutral, if at all.  Heck, even the most trusted of them all, Walter Cronkite, decided to go to Vietnam and then went on the air...and wow, he was a looooong way from neutral, after that. Likely a good thing, too.


Thoren, you need to educate yourself on Indian affairs since European contact. Deal?


The headline was wrong. Instead of media the word should have been Dispatch .  Look at how the Dispatch covers educational issues . They don't ask questions , they just lobby for higher educational spending. They should be registered as lobbyists the way their stories are so one sided.  Their stories never report an issue objectively . No matter what the story , the reporter writes the story to fit the liberal agenda.   This happening now and then would be one thing. But the Dispatch does this every day of the week.


In 2005, the City Council of Longmont, Colorado, agreed to change the name of Chivington Drive in the town following a two-decade campaign. Protesters had objected to Chivington being honored for the Sand Creek Massacre. The street was renamed Sunrise Drive.

I'm no fan of his radio stuff (and Moxy was like 20 years ago) but literally no way of handling it would have been deemed acceptable.

Pfft!  The umps, both those who are inept and those who think they're bigger than the game are blowing strike calls at an alarming rate.  A whole game can turn on the swing pitch of an at bat, and an umpire missing three corner strikes in a row is frustrating, to say the least.

As a Rockies fan who has seen some really bad pitching over the years it drives me crazy that the umpires miss calls on or near the corners when the pitchers are putting the ball exactly where they're paid to.  We live in an age where hitters can and will punish a pitcher badly for missing their spot just a little bit.  We don't need umpires punishing them for putting the ball where they need to in order to succeed.

It wouldn't be so galling if not for the fact that many of these umpires, who are paid quite handsomely to do this as a career are so fat and out of shape that they can't get in a legitimate position to call the pitches accurately.  It's time to either go electronic or hold umps accountable.


Stay in school!  "Where are the trolls?"  grammar robot reporting.........and you're welcome!


I don't know why I have a problem with EVERY hierarch in the U.S. Catholic Church but I do. These clowns have been watching nuns get paid $1 a day for running schools, universities, hospitals and social service agencies for over a century. These same nuns have cooked and cleaned and washed the underwear of these hierarchs. Some of these nuns slept in the attic of some of these places where they worked. Why don't the hierarchs just keep their mouths shut and clean up the messes that they have created.


There's a large, bronze statue of a bear sitting on a bench in Park City, Utah, that is quite the tourist attraction. It's not clear if the bear wrote any books or wallowed in drugs as its higher calling. Perhaps he's a descendant of Yogi's or depicts the on-screen buddy of Grizzly Adams (the movie's production company was located there). His name is Franz and visitors line up for selfies with him all the time. It must be his magnetic personality.
Of course, the reputation of Park City (pop. 8,300) is very different from urbane Eugene's, what with all their ski business, the annual Sundance Film Festival and the nearby sports park from the 2002 Winter Olympics. In that light, your preference as namesake for our central open sewer seems perfect.


You wish. You voted a lazy, ignorant, boorish clown into office.  He'll probably delegate his presidential duties to some stooge. I'm going to really enjoy watching their idol wipe those sneers off of your faces. Very much as I did when Frank Murkowski was voted in and Bush flushed the country down the toilet. This time I hope no one bails your boy out.

 So, what does Israel do now? Democracy? Or apartheid?
Disappear. Israel founding in Palestine was a mistake. An understandable, considering the emotions of the time, mistake.

It became more and more obvious as time went by, that Israel in Palestine was not going to work. So what does Israel do now. ..My computer jumped again....
Disappear. By Israelis moving to countries where Jews have done well the US, Canada and on and or buying a chunk of land from a willing country. 1 48th of the size of Texas, same size, similar climate. Ridiculous. How does it stand up compared to establishing Israel in a desert. surrounded by enemies


No I have seen interviews with the girl. HRC made it seem like the girl was asking for it. I don't think HRC believed that but she will do or say anything to win. On the other hand Trump will do or say anything to lose.

I would never suggest a wage cap.  Only the economically illiterate ever suggest such a thing (and uniformly from the political left).  And no there is not 'excessive compensation' from company stock.  The market tends to excessively punish people who focus on short term stock returns compared to the longer term viability of the company.


Yeah, your right. Less money for companies that create jobs, more money for safe drug injection sites, welfare, subsidized housing, that's the way to go. No businesses to pay taxes, no problem, we can just create more budget deficits because later the deficits will "balance themselves."

It is complex!
My father's family were Irish Catholics on his father's side (hence the surname Quinn) and English Protestants on his mother's side; his mother converted to RC and he was raised Roman Catholic.
My mother's family were ethnic Lithuanians who moved to St Petersburg two centuries ago and converted to Russian Orthodoxy from Roman Catholicism.  In St. Petersburg, her family did intermarry with Lithuanian ex-patriots and ethnic Russians.  One branch of my mother's family emigrated to America in the late 1800s from St. Petersburg.  Her surname is Lithuanian, therefore, her family still acknowledged their Lithuanian ancestry.  Before my parents married in the late 1930s, my mother converted to RC, and I  was baptized and confirmed in the RCC; they are buried next to each other in a RC Cemetery.  When I spoke to my mother about her conversion, she always said, "I came back home to the faith of my ancestors."

Forest mismanagement is, in fact, one reason for global warming. I wouldn't disagree with you there, although we'd probably disagree about what a properly-managed forest would look like.

It also needs to be said that  BLM and the state management agency are probably doing things that made sense under a mid-20th century climate regime. It's just that nature is ahead of us now, and those things no longer make sense.

Of course, the things that make sense now are politically impossible. And nobody could imagine the impacts of industrial logging and intensive carbon fuel use when those things were becoming the norm. In a few words: our way of life now is no longer sustainable and our problems with wildfires are a symptom of this.

The Catholic Church once 'outlawed' chocolate.   "In the 1600’s, chocolate was thought to be a powerful aphrodisiac, inflaming lustful passion.  So much so that religious leaders banned monks and nuns from ingesting it."

The Church has lost membership ever since.

Cacao beans are a natural drug.  They contain up to 2.2 percent phenylethylamine, the ‘love and sex’ chemical.  Cacao beans contain other compounds that enhance mood, joy, creativity and imagination.

 Research at West Virginia’s Wheeling Jesuit University suggests that chocolate may boost your memory, lengthen your attention span, shorten your reaction time and strengthen your problem-solving skills as it increases blood flow to the brain.

From my understanding, investment gains earned within the corporation are taxed at the same rate as are investment gains held within a personal and non RRSP/TFSA account.  Furthermore, when the after tax funds are transferred out of the corporation to the owner, additional taxes are paid to bring the total amount of tax paid on that money to the same amount as the owners marginal personal tax rate.  So at the end of the day, Ottawa still gets the same percentage.   So why the rush?

Clearly you are not happy with the election of Donald Trump as President. However all the protest in the world will not change the result of the election - and nor should they. Protesting the actual result of a valid election is what happens in third world countries where democracy is little understood and respected.
Once again my point is simply that those that are unhappy should stop protesting the result of a democratic election and work to put forward a candidate that is respectable enough to win.
Mass protesting the result of a democratic election is not a part of the process of democracy - protesters need to make certain that any protests are about specific issues and not about the election result. Until that time the protests will do more harm than good.

Just how in the hell do you think human got this far, long before Monsanto and Dow chemical starting profiteering on human health? Humans grew on soil for thousands of years without poisoning the food, the soil, and our bodies. We grow and eat our food without the deadly chemicals that slowly poison the body and we wash our food before we eat.
Your choice to eat poisonous chemical residue will show over time...cancer, birth defects,
neurological breakdown in the brain. It's all so short term profit oriented and the health of consumers doesn't matter.


trump trying to loom over clinton was a 'display of dominance' that's completely out of touch with today's world. Except, of course, for trumpkins who are trying to get back to an imagined 1950s world.
It failed with any reasonable human being.

Anti-vaccination myths are indeed widespread among parents, more's the pity, since society as a whole and children in particular suffer and die as a result of this anti-science superstition.  Same with cell phone radiation, which is ignorance.

Are you maintaining that Jill Stein has not taken a position that vaccination may cause autism or other developmental disorders?  I believe I have read several times that she has publicly stated so.  Maybe I'm wrong, I'll look it up.  But saying vaccination is harmful (except in extremely rare cases) is hugely irresponsible, and a sign of ignorance.

The DNC chairman apparently did what she could to keep Sanders out of the news, but Sanders got plenty of free coverage.  Anything the DNC did to harm hi made no difference.  Sanders was a fringe candidate, his ideas aren't (yet) mainstream, and you can't say that the people did not decide.  I'm sorry, but the Sanders dream was a dream.

Rieger reminds us of Jay Hammond's reason for even having the PFD.

I hope you realize that you've listed exactly why hyper-partisan Kenney was useless for everybody outside of his party.   He spent the majority of his 10 years as a senior member of the ruling CPC Govt scheming for his party vs working for the country.    So he is a great political operator, and master of the underhanded dirty trick.    But try to list what he has actually done that is for the good of his country (or for his Province in the future).

He may very well win the next Alberta election - but it's totally debatable whether that would be a win for Alberta.


And yet, Mr. Trump felt it necessary to criticize Mr. Gorsuch later in the evening.

Trump is a psychotic.  The sooner his administration ends, the better.


@JPMP what a joke.   sheep


Ms Campbell's article is disappointing. The head line talks of how journalism will protect us from fake news but instead suggests it will play only a minor roll with most of the heavy lifting by consumers.

Unforuntantely even the most independent of media is no protection against fake news. In the rush to make money sitting on stories while they are verified can be a losing position for media outlets. Sites like Facebook do not want to vet stories posted on its site because that will cost huge money, compromising their business models and could lead to liability for content.

A better solution to stop fake news is to have huge penalties that even teenages in Macedonia cannot hide from. The same should go for any media outlet that passes on fake news, whether or not it knew or should have known it was fake.

Penalties must be harsh enough to make everyone in the chain of creation and distribution of fake news think twice. Distance must be no impediment to enforement.


The PFD comes from the earnings of the Permanent Fund which was created by Hammond to keep the dirty politicians hands off of the money.

The dividend is meant as a check on corruption.

It was a way to pit collective greed against selective greed.

 When they government comes for the people's share of the money, it means government is corrupt and out of control and it time for the Alaskan people to replace them.

Degree in the arts, though I work in software.

The short story is that RGB is light (transmissive), think your TV or a projector, or slide film, if you are old enough. CMY is ink sitting on some sort of a substrate, so reflective.  Due to the inks not being pure, most commercial printing applications would actually use CMYK(blacK). Without the Black ink, 100% CMY would look kind of a muddy brown, so the Black ink is used to make it look like black, well, that and that much ink would be very very thick.


You live in a small world.


Based on her own figures.........the industry has lost a billion dollars this past year. Wish we had their loss rather than the four billion dollar loss Alaska is facing. Cry me a river.

Sadly Kara is parotting the same industry whiny statements used when oil was at $140 per barrel.  Just never changes.


Considering Fox New generally gets more total cable news viewers then CNN & MSNBC combined.  It would appear that Fox, while not perfect, does a better job of presenting opposing views then the other two.


Good question: It was a reference to the preferences the Alaska Native Corporations receive in bidding competitively in a free market. Not a race thing at all.


Absolutely NOT!


Here's the thing. A lot of those people became addicted taking exactly what their doctors prescribed. They trusted their doctors.  The doctors were either ignorant, careless, or greedy. Many trusted the pharmas who encouraged them to prescribe the stuff, promising that it wasn't addictive.

Once addicted to opioids the concept of personal choice and responsibility evaporates for many. If you don't understand that you haven't spent much time around addicts.

I wonder if the Russians are giving money to the NRA in order to deepen our civil discord and pain over this issue. By giving money to the NRA, they are giving money to lawmakers who consistently "pray for victims" but do nothing to pass sensible gun laws. Sad.

Catholic colleges can't cozy up to politicians, then act surprised when people expect them to make nice. Notre Dame set a bad precedent by inviting presidents and should end the practice, not substitute one politician for another just because he sounds less offensive, depending on one's perspective. What the Church needs from its leaders is strong action, not pillow talk.


It's really more important that the congressional delegation and Cabinet and administration staff understand these concepts. The position of president isn't God. Not a king. So far, in several administrations successively, Congress has shown itself to be the REAL problem.

Mr. Trump may only have a Republican majority Senate for the next two years. If he performs badly, he may drive more people to vote in  the 2018 Senate elections and find himself facing a Democratic majority Senate. A counterbalance to this GOP Congress would be something positive.

Ooooookaaay, good to see how the other side thinks. Read the comments following the Sr. Campbell piece over at RNS and scary stuff, man. Well, *somebody* feels threatened.

After the polls predicted a Hillary landslide do you still believe the polls?  The polls are a joke!  Could the Russians have hacked the polls to lull the Hillary voters to stay away from the voting booth?


Better insight and ethics wouldn't hurt anyone.


Dan Sullivan needs to read the constitution again. The supreme Court has upheld the ability of the president to wage limited attacks in times of imminent threats. Also the War Powers Act allows for 30 days of conflict before requiring a Congressional consent.  That is still the law as passed by Congress until they change it.


The establishments - both Rep & Dem tremble at the prospect of Trump upending the tables, restoring a transparent, representative Republic.  One of the first Alaskan issues should be a real-life investigation of the Wells Fargo bank scandal. If Trump is elected, we can expect years of turmoil as he hammers the Republic back into a semblance of what it was designed to be.  If HRC is enthroned we will see a faster slide down the splinter laden bannister of world socialism, islamification of our culture & systems, - maybe even a darkening of the sun & moon.  Vote for our beautiful country.  Vote for Donald Trump.

Jerry69, The major national polls, such as Gallup, Rasmussen, YouGov, Morning Consult, and Ipsos, show that the majority of Americans disapprove of Trump's presidency.  Less than 40% approve.  More and more people want him to be impeached.  A substantial proportion of Trump's supporters are racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, and Islamophobic people.  He has to cater to them in order to keep his popularity from dropping further.

Not accepting immigrants will make it impossible for Canada to maintain its GDP and economic growth, not to mention skills enhancement. That will mean job losses - are you the one prepared to give up your job because you would rather keep immigrants out? Perhaps as a decendent of an immigrant you might be prepared to give up your place in Canada for a new comer. Seems a double standard here.


Are adults expected to take Trump seriously. He's a buffoon and can't stop making a fool of himself when he opens his mouth. It's as though he's compelled to avoid reality.

"There is no evidence that increases in the minimum wage have any effect on employment and the author fails to cite the study he mentions."
A student of first year Economics is taught that increases in labor costs result in a fall in total employment. Also that managers make choices between labor and capital, so when the price of one increases, money flows to the other.
When I raise these points with certain individuals they cry "propaganda". Just like when you discuss climate change with other individuals and they say the science is also "propaganda".
So you want a study? Pick up a first year Economics text book.


What makes you think Trump has to "let" anything happen here? If he were to act to prevent this, he'd only look (even more) guilty.

I always find it amusing when the state of one of the counties implements generous salary increases for political appointees, rationalizing that government must pay "competitive" salaries to attract and retain good people.  But this rarely happens for rank and file workers.  While his contract should help reduce the number of teacher vacancies, there are many other factors that discourage  DOE teachers, including weak--school-level leadership, lack of support when dealing with unruly students, and--perhaps the most frustrating issue: frequently changing curriculum and expectations.

You're totally missing the point. What the poster was getting at is that Japan is not accepting hundreds of thousands of migrants/"refugees" who end up being a massive welfare burden and commit a lot of crime. The US spends up to $100 billion a year on illegals and their spawn, the vast majority who only have an eight grade education if that. Money better spent on Americans and their children.

Of course, Kuroda supports globalization as it helps ASIANS but it destroyed many American cities and towns as industry moved offshore. The reality is that there IS only one piece of pie and the US has allowed Asia to eat it and let their citizens starve.


No one can reject migrants and refugees and say they are following the ethics of the Bible:
"Do not deprive foreigners and orphans of their rights; and do not take a widow's garment as security for a loan. Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and that the Lord your God set you free"(Deuteronomy 24:17-18)
"God's curse on anyone who deprives foreigners, orphans , and widows of their rights"(Deuteronomy 27:19)
"Do not ill treat or oppress a foreigner; remember that you were foreigners in Egypt. Do not ill treat any widow or orphan. If you do I, the Lord, will answer them when they cry out to me for help, and I will be angry and kill you in war"(Exodus 22:21-24)

Our Lord Jesus in his Parable of the Sheep and Goats(Matthew 25:31-45) list as one of the Works of Mercy how we treat the stranger. Furthermore his judgement isn't only on individuals, but on Nations as well.


Socialism is dead
You parasites have killed the host
Socialism causes fat people because the nanny state does everything so these morons can't even make their own smart decisions anymore. Stop making their decisions. You are killing them.
If you let them die others will learn
Stop wasting our tax a money on deadbeats
If you socialists would just stop trying to control everything the world would right itself
You just can't stop interfering in people's lives.....
Tax the self righteous lefties
That would shut these people up


Neighbor98...I've never darkened the door of Imago Dei and couldn't find them without Googlemaps.  I will agree with you the idea of moral absolutes is troubling for everyone, me included. Surely you believe in some yourself, however. Take a few minutes to think through what those might be.

As for moral relativism I am also sure that has some limitations for you as well, as evidenced by your insistence that everyone at Imago Dei believe like you or face your wrath, laughter,  disdain, etc.

More White folks in a community with a high percentage of African Americans.

Here's an idea:  Offer free breakfasts every Sunday in a campaign for new parishoners (passes handed out at the end of mass).  Homilies should be about the importance of marriage and fathers and the harms of drugs, recreational sex, and how God helps those who help themselves.  Something like that, anyway.

Incentives to attend, and solutions for people to improve their lives.  Women go to church, and they want their kids to do well.  It's a slow process, but you have to get into the heads of the kids.


Yup.

It would be nice if the Canadian media would ease up on Trump coverage, its becoming a bore and is mostly repetitious anyway. I would like them to concentrate on the shenanigans of Trudeau and Wynne who seem be getting away with all kinds of dastardly deeds and faux pas.

SK recovers NK missile test parts all the time to assess the level of technology. They are still using rivets, which haven't been used for missiles since World War II. They aren't even flush rivets, invented by Howard Hughes.  https://www.wired.com/images_blogs/dangerroom/2012/12/AP590482977794.jpg  In 1996, a NK Sang-o spy submarine floundered on the shore of SK. The crew committed suicide rather than be captured. More World War II technology.  http://b-29s-over-korea.com/A-Complete-History-Of-The-North-Korean-Navy/images/Sang-o-Class-N.Korean-Submarine.jpg  NK has launched two 3-stage orbital rockets, the first one with a payload of about 50 lbs and the second with a payload of 440 pounds. Both satellites failed. Going orbital is only 200+ miles straight up. An ICBM needs to travel 7,000 miles and they only have the atomic bomb, WWII vintage, about the size of Fat Man, about 10,000 pounds. They are still using rail cars to transport their atomic bombs. NK can't reach Hawaii.


I looks more like they were colluding with the Ukraine as nothing about collusion with Russia anywhere in the article.

Intelligent choice, Royce.


Trump did react differently to the two tragedies, for two reasons.  With the terrorist attack in New York he plays to his base big time and his purposeful need to call others names and throw nonstop accusations to put down others.  That hate and blame is pure bigotry and it sells real well to a certain conservative voter.  With the Las Vegas terrorist attack, he faithfully and very Republican minded succumbed to the NRA narrative that huge firepower in the hands of anyone is extremely profitable to a few, and the fact that the death toll in America is horrific is just gosh darn inconvenient.  Nothing to say, plus the glorious shooter had his rights. That absolutely nothing can be done to stem our harvest of self-inflicted carnage.   Our founding fathers and tradition demand it.  Plus, some of them certain conservative voters may have to rush to Washington with those weapons at any time, to protect their idea of freedom.


Good Idea to assure that Obama didn't send it to Iran also.


As a Hamiltonian living directly on the proposed LRT line I am well aware that King Street, Hamilton's primary east-west traffic route, will be nothing but a huge excavated trough running the length of the project for the next 5 to 6 years. It will shut down the lower city core for that long. Most of the thousands of tenants and businesses along the route will leave due to the long term construction. Everyone I know along the route says they will likely depart the city. Look at what it's done to Waterloo and Eglinton West in Toronto. Talk about how to kill a city in one fell swoop. But don't kid yourselves, this has been a back room done deal pretty much since day one. I expect when they break ground this September I will be forced to leave as well. While the existing bus stops outside my door I would have to walk 5 blocks to catch the new "improved" LRT! What a joke! It is obviously designed by people who know nothing whatsoever about Hamilton. Shame on them!


Think about it Boots.  With the massive amount of fighting all over Europe during WWII the entire European Continent would be contaminated if any of these claims were true.


Medicare can be confusing at times. And costly too. Here's something I found that makes my fathers life a whole lot easier.
It's a Medicare Plus card. It is a completely free card that is made for those on Medicare.
It gets him healthcare discounts and provides a free list of Medicare quotes from all major insurance carriers.
You can save 75% on services not covered by Medicare.

Infrastructure spending, the bulk of which will happen toward end of Trudeau's first term and beyond, looks perfectly dove-tailed to recession around 2018 or 2019. Recessions happen routinely and predictably approximately every 10 years. The infrastructure program is well-timed to mitigate the impact. Meanwhile, child benefit increase last July sparked the economy. The bar chart shows the correlation and economists agree.

The move to $15 an hour minimum wage in Ontario will likely start a shift toward the long-awaited rise in incomes across the board, the area that has lagged most throughout the last twenty years.


I don't think that this proposal is perfect, but I think it's a start towards the reforms that are needed. There's nothing in this I think is bad, I just think it doesn't go far enough. I support this though.


Exactly.  I was just reading a story about how Ed Norton made a fraction of what Brad Pitt did in Fight club.  Equal parts.  Equal face time doesn't warrant equal pay.  Their greed about what OTHERS were making will now undermine their whole bottom line.  Smart.


While I agree with many of the author's ideas on how campuses should be, I would like to see those things for the comfort of working class students, not the education of the upper class (that would take much more than on campus exposure).

The focus on doing this for the upper class students and the separation of the working class from the educated (among other things in the article) reflects the same arrogance the author tries to address. There are plenty of educated working class people - educated both in and out of the campuses.

I went to school later in life because I came from one of the poorest sectors of the working class. I graduated in the top 3% of my class, went to grad school, and became a teacher. Some of the most educated (and I mean in university subjects) people I know have not been to college. Some of the dumbest have PhDs.

For a perspective on the election written by working class people try this - http://www.communistworkers.org/pdf/wa/2016/wa201612.pdf.


SO a Republican turned Independent caters to the Democrats that stole the election thinks he is going to get re-elected? and therefore is pandering to which way the wind blows to get what HE wants. Not a chance in HE@#


All on a path to failure. Jut watch.


Chris, people are smart enough here to post what they mean... Stop adding your own meaning to other people's posts


You give conservatives a bad name. Go away


Before the sung Ordinary Form Mass at St. Edward's in Newark, CA (and much else that parish had going for it) got tossed aside by a new pastor with an axe to grind, the Latin ordinary of the Mass would often be punctuated by an English hymn of Tallis and sometimes also Vaughn Williams if my memory serves me correctly.
