Bail is a right under both Alaska and federal constitutions. A person charged with an offense is not legally guilty of it, no matter what the police say.  Curious, how some people burn incense before a constitutional right they like and ignore the ones they don't like.

Granted, the court has discretion in setting the amount of bail, provided it is not "excessive."  There are different interpretations of that word.  In some minds it means "excessive compared to the bail usually set for similar charges."  In others, it means "excessive compared to the defendant's resources."  Usually, the court considers both.

People also don't realize that there is a distinction between cash bail and "corporate" bail.  The latter means a bail bondsman puts up a bond for you (for which he will mulct you dearly).  Usually, the defendant in felony cases is required to post at least 10% of his total bail amount in cash.  The article doesn't say whether the $2,500 was the whole bail, or only the cash part.


I can't argue with how they made you feel, but I feel like there are several steps between talk of complimentarianism with some off-putting interactions and saying the church "believes mixed-race marriages aren’t okay."


I believe that the bear spray DID work for Ms. Trainor. Check the story.


When your staff releases information to anyone they are free to use it. It is up to your staff to know what is or is not to be released. When a large part of your staff is family ---  well blame the media.


The typical delusion of the stupid and blind ideologues of the Trump mentality. Without government spending nothing in this nation would be functioning. You believe you are some Aryan super being devoid of any responsibility for any part of society except your own selfish interests. The Nazi/Fascist/White Supremacist ideology devoid of any humanity or conscience. Crawl back into your bunker you evil bastard.


I challenge you to find a single piece of high tech hardware that is manufactured in the U.S,, THAT is trump's exact point, its not and the usa is changing now to get these made in the usa


This comment just appeared in my queue of comments to evaluate as I was posting in a different thread.  I came here to look for the comment, not knowing who had written it, because I wanted to say that I am not terribly surprised that your Catholic family members have been supportive of you as you seek to live a life that is faithful both to who you are and to the Gospel.  One of the great things about Catholicism is that most Catholics, even many priests, be they conservative or liberal, have an earthy appreciation for the vagaries of the human condition and a great tolerance for people who are plugging along, doing the best they can.  And that's most of us, gay, straight or whatever.  The great gift you've given your family is that you let them know who you really are; and their gift to you is that they let you know that they love you as you are.  And God sees that it is good.


Maybe think of it differently. I'm a Canadian company selling a product to Canadians.  I pay tax and employ Canadians.  I'm also legislated to donate money to a fund that helps Canadians in that industry.  An American company starts competing against me in Canada.  They don't pay tax, employ Canadians or donate to that fund.  You lobby the government.  They agree but don't want to charge the US company a tax because it will upset their customers (voters).  US company comes up with a solution that benefits them. Maybe not Canadians so much.


I looked at SEIU Local 503 collective bargaining agreement for 55,000 state workers. The phrase "minimum wage" appears once, for pay scales for school coaches. Do you know that it is used as a peg for other pay scales?  http://www.oregon.gov/DAS/CHRO/CBA/SEIU.pdf (I think this is a good place to look, but am not sure).


Let me get this straight...
If an employee of a cafe / restaurant gets a free or discounted meal, then the owner is supposed to track the value of this meal or discount and add it as a line item on the employees' paycheck (on top of wages).
Then at the end of the week tax the employee for the wages + savings on the meal...?

Please tell me I have got this wrong


Merkel's position is the same one Trudeau mocked during the election when the conservatives proposed it.


Interesting that “There are hundreds of thousands of Pakistani or Bangladeshi women who don’t speak proper English or hardly speak it at all.

“That might be through choice in some cases, a cultural issue. But it is a big issue because it does then hold those women back from the employment market and other opportunities.”

So whose fault is that, and how do you change it without appearing "racist"?

And "if these disparities cannot be explained then they must be changed.”

"Communities secretary Sajid Javid the data would not provide the answers to why disparity existed, but said the government wanted to work with outside groups to come up with ways it could tackle the injustice.

“We are not pretending today we are sitting here with all the answers, some of them might have a rational explanation but others will require action,”

That's backwards. If you can't explain them, you don't know how to change them.


I agree that we should make every effort to curtail such people in the world.

However, we should not just limit these actions against the Russians.  Being Canadian we should start with our own government people that helped kill thousands of people in Libya.  Libya is now a failed state and has been destroyed.

Let's perhaps consider sanctioning George Bush Jr and his sidekick Dick Cheney who should have been charged with crimes against humanity for their lies and going to war and the killing of millions of people needlessly in Iraq.

Trudeau is fast becoming a two faced person and is following the United States and their ridiculous world views.  War, war and more war.

Also, it was rather apparent that the United States was involved in a Coup de tat in the Ukraine.  Any honest newspaper would say so but do we have any.


So now only 'cpc supporters' are allowed to comment? You're a tough sheriff of Dodge City, brissy!  Not easy to get elected to that position.
But some facts about why we can't post here , would make more sense.


It's hard to argue with Ozias' points  --  it sure does sound like the County has dropped the ball in its evaluation of this rezoning.

Of course, since the Dry Creek Water Association is a completely private entity, it has no obligation to provide water to any given customer.  The neighbors of this proposed industrial development, as members of Dry Creek Water, may still have some recourse if they oppose heavy industrial use in their neighborhood.

I drive past this parcel several times a week.  I know I wouldn't see the presence of a stormwater drainage system (though I would have expected to see a little activity beyond just scraping off good agricultural topsoil into piles to level the parcel, which was all I did see).   But I am perplexed by the assertion that "industrial road approaches" have been built.  Where?


The Con-conservative party of Canada are anal retentive hard asses. Not a tittle of compassion on the part of anyone. Mean-spirited con-con hypocrites.  Gloating and smirking with their pasted on smiles. Ha! Viva Justin Trudeau.


The money allocated goes to the Department of Homeland Security.  The Secretary of the Department decides where the money is spent.


What I want to know is why can't we make a  Municipal ordinance here in Anchorage that allows us to banish the drunken bums begging on our street corners and wandering around fouling up the place? I mean, we see here that banishment is actually a viable option. I know the state of Hawaii bans people, also, or at least they used to. I knew a Hawaiian dude working on the pipeline who had been kicked out of Hawaii for a spell.


This sounds like a good use for the head tax revenue.   Think the cruise lines will oppose that too??


Comey knew no later than June that Russian officials were trying to ratf**k the election on behalf of Trump.
		At no point during the campaign did Comey inform the public about what Russia was doing.
		He also knew that the “scandal” surrounding Clinton’s email server was the Trump line of attack that was getting the most traction in the media.
		His response was…to violate norms and/or departmental rules to issue multiple prejudicial statements about Clinton’s email server.

The last of these statements was a letter prematurely informing Congress about an investigation that had virtually no chance of revealing material information about Clinton less than two weeks before the election.

We can perhaps call this response “the Russians can’t ratf**k the election if we ratf**k it first!”


Conservatism and prejudice. Study links low intelligence and low IQ with limited education, to conservatism and prejudice. Go ahead and type it. It explains a lot who morphs into conservatism and prejudice.
How do the so called Christians expect to make it into their white mans heaven? The Christian politicians say they have the right hand of their god and make sure everyone knows but......
The Christian politicians are busy defunding the health and social programs that benefit the same people that the Christians jesus lived and breathed to help, the sick, weak, poor, infirm, diseased, hungry and the dying, and giving the same money to the same kind of money lenders their jesus booted out of the temples.
With all the supporters of Trumps republicans screaming to boot out the refugees, they are forgetting that their white mans jesus was a refugee himself.
Conservatives going to heaven makes as much sense as a murdering  terrorist going to heaven with 72 virgins


Bottled water costs 2000 times what is spent to bottle it. In the words of Dr Helen Caldicott (as I recall she was talking about soda pop) "You don't need that." Bottled water is the biggest marketing scam since - ever.


Is it not completely obvious to everyone that this woman is mentally ill?  I mean she needs to seek qualified help, maybe spend a little time in a mental ward under some supervision.   Add the rest of the idiots who voted for her please.   She is clearly about to have a mental breakdown every time she speaks she is about to fold.  Shameful behavior and her actions on the MCB are reprehensible.   Get rid of this shameful nutcase or you are doomed to have her idiocy repeated.


Trump's racist rhetoric is making these creatures come out from under their rocks.


You may be certain that the Russian president is quite aware of the protocol optics of having his mere foreign secretary meet with the head of state of the United States. Usually this is only acceptable if the foreign secretary is from a great power and the head of state is from a more minor power. The Russians certainly won this protocol contest. They have the measure of the child in the Whitehouse, and I don't mean the president's son.


The swamp has a new member...'course he will get sued, and lose, when he doesn't actually do his job...this will create more anger, but maybe that's the plan...sad.


Yeah, we'll see "dead carcasses" if this bill passes -- and by the way, lovely choice of words there, Drumpf -- namely, the 20,000,000+ who will be tossed out of the health care system for lack of coverage.

But it's all for a good cause, the further enrichment of his already obscenely wealthy buddies.  What, you don't think that's a good cause?  Well, time to do something about it.


Like his tweets or not, (I think he should be quiet personally speaking) like him or not, the truth is we and FEMA are doing a good job in a difficult situation.


We are a representative democracy In which, like a republic, officials are elected to vote on behalf of the people on most issues, rather than having all of the citizens vote on every issue. A constitutional democracy is a representative democracy in which the government's power is restricted by a constitution. In essence, this is a republic, so for practical purposes, the difference between a republic and a constitutional democracy is often largely one of semantics.


I was talking keeping bad employees. School was just an example of  that behavior.


A real intellectual way of living in 2016. Poor guys


Back in the day, hash oil extraction used to involve petroleum ether.  Now that was a really nasty process.  Today's methodology is far superior.


This technology has already been tried in the Arctic; read about the Airship Norge and Italia.
The same limitations exist almost 100 years later.


Picking the pockets of Alaskans results in the reduction of the quality of life for Alaskans who are trying to provide for themselves.   You advocate for increasing the cost of living while decreasing the standard of living.  You want to burden the parents attempting to provide for the future citizens of Alaska.  You do Alaskans no favors by claiming it is in their best interests to suffer thousands of dollars of loss of income in order to enrich and maintain the standard of living of  Government public sector union workers. Absurd and a mockery of the people who reside and strive in Alaska.  There are very few Alaskans who will not suffer this year by having thousands of dollars confiscated by the Governor of this State.  He's a plague, a blizzard of indifference.  He promised to cut spending in order to get elected.  He has a pipe dream.  He spends wildly with total disregard to economic reality.  He's a calving glacier of damage.  He's a tidal wave of impoverishment for Alaskans.


Well, gang, if the rioters are so peaceful and forthright where is the State and Federal government with coming to the rescue of these disfranchised folks?

I believe in peaceful protest not this mob rules! What is really wrong is Journalism is popular, but it is popular mainly as fiction. Life is one world, and life seen in the newspapers is another.


This is what happens when you have kids looking after the candy store.

They don't realize that when China agrees to stop doing something it shouldn't have been doing in the first place, it's not because China had an epiphany of conscience; it's because China has a new way to do the same thing and they can give up their old ways.

Really, Junior?! This is another major breakthrough? China didn't agree to stop hacking the NRC (something far more valuable than anything it was doing with the private sector), they gave you a cookie made of air!


Southern Pride? We live in Alaska. Rebellion? Against what? Lets be blunt, this flag was carried by people who were fighting to enslave other human beings, it is nothing more than a disgrace to our nations history like the Nazi flag is to Germany. Thats is the lesson students need to be taught, you are not cool and mysterious you are glorify a mentality of racism.


And you decide who should get fired from a private company?  Please.


Trump is a racist,
…and a petty con man,
…and a traitor.
But back to the racist part.
That's what attracted so many of his supporters.
There is no longer any doubt that Mueller's office is investigating Trump for collusion with Russia and obstruction of justice in the Russia investigation,
…it's just a matter of time now.
Being rid of the racists in the White House will go a long ways to making all the other racists scurry back under their rocks where they belong.


Well, that will help the Social Security recipients who drive that didn't get a COLA increase because of the downturn in gasoline prices.  And the ones who ride LTD don't pay, so LTD's extra profit with the reduced price can go to better salaries and benefits to their people.  Win-Win.


I took a flightseeing trip over Denali a long time ago and remember seeing a cabin along the way.  It was all by itself.  Is there another cabin up along the way or is this the one I saw?  It seems to me that the cabin I saw was shaped different and may have been higher up on the mountain.


I give him next to no credit at all. Winters rarely tackles the substance of arguments but goes in for ad hominem attacks, usually against good, holy bishops like Cardinal Burke - and stirs up hatred against him and other good priests and faithful. I bet he's never even met the Cardinal but sees himself qualified to judge his heart. That isn't Christian by any measure. I say this in all charity: his screeds add absolutely nothing to building up the Church and are (rightly) ignored by practically everyone.


Yes, I would. Mother Mary was quoted as saying very little, but what she DID say has been ringing down through the ages inspiring hearts and minds in every corner of the earth. Women who have traditionally been the heart of the home, often have more time to meditate on the things of God as they go about their daily work.  Their strong  emotional ties to the needs of their children give them a perspective that men would love to have, but, due to their own  difficult commitments, sadly miss.


My advice is to stand back, Roach.

The splatter off of Trump is going to hit a lot of people.

All your Fox News faux responses are not going to change history.

Trump and his gang of sewer rats are going down.

Enjoy.

.


Slofstra, I have been reading through your various comments and in my capacity as a working Certified Financial Planner, I feel I must advise you to stay away from any form of currency that does not have "Monopoly" written on it.


Apparently that is a good fraction of the American public that believe they would be better off when America becomes a third world country. This is just another indicator of what they believe the American dream is - if you are poor and get sick you should go away and die. They don't believe that decent health care is right (like clean air, clear water) and that the wealthiest country in the world should spend taxes on helping anyone but the very rich. The rest of us are trying to figure out how they took over the government and what to do about it.


This is a joke, right? Satire that completely misses the mark?  Because if it isn't? Lord have mercy.,


Bernie seems cut from the same cloth as the 90+ year old woman I talked to recently who said she didn't believe a woman should be president.

Regressive ideals will always persist in some people, even to their own detriment.


Is there a link to see how much money the state made selling trinkets under the initiative developed under Ellis?


Dream on


Nick, doing a quick Google search came up with the following most corrupt politicians:
1.President of Indonesia
 2. Ferdinand Marcos	President of the Philippines
 3. Mobutu Sese Seko	President of Zaire
 4. Sani Abacha	President of Nigeria
 5. Slobodan Milosevic	President of Serbia/Yugoslavia
 6. Jean-Claude Duvalier	President of Haiti
 7. Alberto Fujimori	President of Peru
 8. Pavlo Lazarenko	Prime Minister of Ukraine
 9. Arnoldo Alemán	President of Nicaragua
10. Joseph Estrada	President of the Philippines

But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assumed you meant US politicians:
1)Boss Tweed
2)Ray Blanton
3)Budd Dwyer
4)Edwin Edwards
5)Spiro Agnew
6)Carroll Hubbard
7)George Ryan
8)James Traficant
9)Randy Cunningham
10)Huey Long

Still no Hillary...

Now maybe you were being sarcastic, but when you state outrages facts it makes you sound uneducated and hard to take seriously. Just like Trump.


Bear dies due to the stupidity of others.


It is difficult to teach eye contact these days.  Unless there is technology to do it through cell phone screen.


Time for what? He's battling zero right now. He's pursuing his lost causes while the country is stuck in the doldrums. Anyone who calls this leadership is missing more than a few screws.


It is refreshing to see someone stand up to China, rather than the Canadian example of kowtowing and selling out.


Right on!

After the Matador Ballroom overcame NIMBY objections and secured approval from the AGCO and the License Appeal Tribunal I happily assumed the ballroom would be open for business by the spring of 2016.

It is beyond the pale that the Ballroom remains stuck in this limbo. Bad for business. A lost opportunity for the neighbourhood. Sad for the city. A real shame.


So where is the $500 million for the national birthday bash coming from?


How much did Trump propose increasing the D.O.D. budget - $54 billion as I recall?  That works out to more than $1 billion / state.  Good to see that POTUS is trying to make sure that Federal monies will be spent/given to Wall Street's favorites rather than back to states (us) for education and programs that benefit citizens.  :)


He's probably south of the US border by now, bragging to his buddies as they all read about him in the DP.


The most important work exprience on the PM's resume was that he was qualilified and trained to teach drama.

A quote of Marc Antony from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar,

"Cry 'Havoc!', and let slip the dogs of war"

The PM, when implementing this deal, knowingly or unknowlingly, did a disservice to world peace.  And there is no getting around the factual evidence, reported by this and other newspapers.


I can only hope it was someone blowing off fireworks that got shot.


Uh, no.

We went over this in the Ford years.

LRT on its own right of way.

Cars running every 10 minutes.

Preferential lights (again, only 10 minutes).

(that and its not on the surface for over half)

Cheaper by FAR then subway for operating costs.


Hope he works out, he does have some butt kina crappy run support, but he's learning.

Whoever is in charge of scouting LBs on other teams rosters deserves a raise.


as of now Khadr and Trudeau are the most hated Canadians.
hey Justy i hear you're not going to the Stampede.


Well if you understood the 3 names portion of the comment you know my feelings on Trump. In Canada I am a PC member. Trump however is not a political party affiliate from what I gather he is a money man...although he has pissed away a lot of his inheritance and filed for several bankruptcies.


We should be concerned with his "I did not hurt a fly" statement. No remorse, denial of the facts that left the sanctuary destroyed and sharing his video of the offense may take more than counseling to address his current state of mind.


and the BOC is still trying to convince of a cut? Perhaps. But don't assume the banks will follow with a prime cut. They are more likely to raise


Wildwood is over crowded. Woman are housed in a half-gym this makes no sense. The farm is a different story they have room.


The billionaire Kochs are concerned that not enough poor people are going to be denied health care? What kind of bizarro world are Republicans creating? I mean, seriously?


Jim Colver is alright. George Rauscher, who the Republican blogger Susanne Downing described as the Deputy Mayor of Sutton will say anything. Sutton is not an incorporated city and probably never will be. So he isn't a Mayor of any kind. Rauscher is more of the same old same old tired blithering repubo from the Mat-Su. A vote for him keeps this failed status quo going. Rauscher for State House/Ridiculous.


This case succeeded because a lawyer with an obsession worked for free
---
Non-sense. He didn't work for free. He just got paid. And he also got a "pro bono" award. What a scam.


Right. Let's all then gather for the demise of downtown.
Look, we all have ideal situations we'd like, but then we stop to consider reality. Are people really going to bike and walk from all over this small city to get downtown--- during 80-95 degree summer days (you have to plan for all contingencies when deciding about a downtown) and most importantly, during the long and dark rainy season that could last up to 9 or 10 months?
It's like the idiotic idea of shrinking Willamette down to 2 lanes to accommodate a relatively VERY few bikers, neglecting the fact that the parallel accesses worked just fine.


Paraphrasing Hemingway who famously said ones in Toronto: that newspapers will say what, when and how but never why.  That seems to be the case with North Korea. Why? Why is North Korea doing what it is doing? What do they want to achieve for what purpose. Nobody fires of nuclear weapons just for fun especially when most of the citizens are in powerty. And why the six party talks? Why doesn't USA talk to them directly?After all they seem to have the main issue here.


I loved the speech.  Well done, POTUS.


Likewise. The best project manager I've ever had was a woman. Two of the three smartest engineers I've ever collaborated with were women. Nor is my workplace is a bros club. Many of my coworkers are older family-men who want to get their own daughters into STEM and are therefore motivated to create an equal-opportunity workplace.

However, I can't speak for Google. Google has a less mature workplace culture. Google's workforce is relatively young (median age in their 20s) and has a high high turnover rate (employees stay an average of only one year). Google offers their employees "stereotypical male" perks like video games, billiard tables in lunch rooms, etc. If they claim Google is a "bros club", I could believe it, but that does not apply to the entire tech industry.


Is anyone who lives in Ontario and has had to deal with the disastrous policies of successive Liberal governments really surprised? I only hope that come election time voters don't succumb to the underhanded and completely transparent efforts Wynne's government will be taking over the next 18 months to sweep these issues under the rug and buy our votes with money the government doesn't have.


No, not yet.  The Executive order has been blocked for now.  There is uncertainty on what the situation at the border will be.  School trips take time to plan.  There is certainty that there are kids that could be blocked based simply on their Nationality.  Do you suppose there might be immigrant kids from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen in schools in Canada?


Wow, what a great idea. Tell you what, since we're all in this together, since my pay would be cut 10%, the legislature can pass a 10% income tax on all non-state workers too. Because I'm sure you wouldn't mind contributing 10% of your income.
Also, lets cut 10% of all other benefits you get from your employment, because you clearly have a non-essential job as well. Feel free to supplement your job with basket weaving you can sell by the roadside.


An apology to everyone for my intensity... this whole exchanged sat disturbing peace so I wanted to return to bring some clarity to my intention. This particular call to consider brought to us by Tony and perhaps also his son... needs be considered with all the urgency of the present moment, the present circumstances. Tony, gave us a share in his epiphany, his change of heart -- and then shared his living out that change of heart. It is important because it is a one heart at a time experience. "My heart won't let me do this any more".  It is a mustard seed planted and it grows from context > context in which it occurred. Yes, I badgered and bullied on "context" and "magnitude of ever escalating violence".  Not so good about nonviolent speech... sorry. Here we see what road rage looks like on the internet.
EFC -- no executive order is going is to do away with the Military Industrial Complex Business.
We can hope for a civil service alternative... chosen one heart at a time.


Great article! I can't stand the amount of spam calls I've been getting. This article did make me curious about something. I've been using CallApp for almost a year now, any thoughts on if I should switch?


Please explain how then the rate increases were less under the ACA than before it?


We should be more like Americans. Scott Wood and Wayne Jory should be able to sue for millions, split the take with the lawyers and bankrupt the company.


I used to feel that Wynne belonged in jail.

Now, I feel she belongs on the end of a rope.


"About to"?

It's already started.

Even Ann Coulter, one of Trump's biggest supporters, is now publicly calling him out for "selling out" on immigration.

The Trump collapse has already started, and he hasn't even been inaugurated yet.


Ahhhhh Lordy............more muslim victimhood crap.  They are victims of their own ideology, period.  To defend your country is a hate crime?  Reality check.......Canada is fast becoming an islamic satellite, thanks to our spineless politicians.   Why are progressives in such a hell-bent-for-leather hurry to defend that which is indefensible?  They are ashamed of our country and the values that true Canadians have fought and died for.  This is truly sickening.


Where was anti-fa when we need them to beat the crap out of everyone, beat journalists, punch Indians

Oh the glory of the left.......
In the US they are declaring Anti-fa an official criminal gang and some are asking for them to be put on the terror list.

Great news.

These anti-fa punks are nothing but punks using our charter and our freedoms to hurt people....

And what about all the G&M journalists who backed them?
Criminal intent on their part too. Aiding and Abetting violence.
Thats probably 2 years jailtime
Lock em up
In fact charge the Indians for defacing pubic property.


Hopefully Colorado doesn't put a lot of money into this ridiculous idea. For a fraction of the cost they could lay down standard rail which could transport 100 times the passengers, and ship you to Cheyenne in under an hour. I have no desire to be stuffed into a windowless tube and "hurled" to to Vail in 9 minutes. It's a sad world if your time is that valuable. "Quick! Get me out of this tube so I can tweet everyone about how I pooped in my pants!"


I'm a Denver native and I have a second home in the SF Bay Area. Colorado drivers are MUCH worse when it comes to allowing people to merge or change lanes. Most times, when I put on my blinker to change lanes, the driver slightly behind me in the lane I want to join speeds up and won't let me in. I think Bay Area drivers are among the most courteous I've ever dealt with. They have such soul-crushing traffic out there that people have learned it's easier for everyone if they all just cooperate.


Trudeau never ceases to raise concerns. Who elected this half-wit?


Something is not quite right here. In the German press, Canada is often given as a good example of how to handle immigration and immigrants. I guess the truth on either side is somewhere in between.


Really? What legal court would that be exactly?


Not much different, and no moral difference between this and how many Native Americans were treated by Europeans. Except the gold miners today don't evidently bother disguising greed with the hypocrisy of "saving" their souls.


It's funny how ignorant you are in your certainty about something you don't understand.


TrumpCare = Alaska Income Tax, and don't even bother to argue that, who do you think will pay for all the medicaid in the future?


Trump was the one whom said how much he could accomplish in the 1st 100 days.He hasn't gotten squat done,as to what he said he was gonna do,COME ON.The one thing he has done is cause hate and discontent.That I think we can ALL agree with.Remember this chant?LOCK HER UP,LOCK HER UP.,look whose gonna be on the hot seat now.And remember,,I'm gonna build a wall,and whose gonna PAY FOR IT...MEXICO.WELL WELL WELL,HOW THINGS CHANGE,now he wants the US to pay for it,oh but we"ll get paid back...yea right.Just like a true carnival barker.I don't believe anything he says.Remember the old saying,don't believe anything you hear,and only half of what you see.


Raising interest rates would do what?
Most of these speculative buyers can afford to pay cash!


The empty vessel must be in trouble again as the Globe sees fit to apologize for his behaviour


that is just stealing other countries' population to enlarge our own.  And why is it such an imperative to perpetually grow our population anyways?  Eventually it has to stop.  Already the global population is only reproducing at replacement rate, and will stop growing in a few decades altogether.  Instead we should begin adapting to no-growth.  And it will be a better world too, without growth.


Wind and solar energies have very unique and punctual applications, and making huge wind and solar farms is not one of them. They are very useful in areas where there is no connection to a power interconnected grid. But they provide little power in return to their investment costs. Solar and wind energies are too diffuse, and on our present industrial and domestic energy demand, we should keep relying on dense energy fuels as nuclear or coal providing constant and reliable baseload power.

Solar and wind energy farms must always be subsidized in order to their owners to have a profit. And that profit comes from taxes (user's money) and from higher kW/h prices that drive up industrial production costs and decrease competitiveness in foreign markets. But the temptation of having "free energy" is too high for gullible followers of the myth of renewable energy. They might as well run and find that pot of gold coins at the end of the rainbow.


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!
Loser!  So funny!
HAHAHAHAHAAHAAHAHAHA!!!!!!


Keillor hints at what is missing:  who in Scab Holler, Kentucky really gives a tinkers dam about what happens in a city which  you  can only enjoy it if you are relatively wealthy,  like Keillor,  who made his dough producing a  great program for Public Radio.  Irony at its best.

In Scab Holler,  Junior  died of an opiate overdose,  a teenage girl is preggers.    Grandpa is hocking up his black lungs,  and dad left years ago for Somewhere,  Indiana.  The week the debit card gets filled by the state is the best of every month.  The white trash majority  voted for Trump and their erstwhile "friends" in the Democrat party are doing their best to re rig their rigged election,  which was lost by a lazy candidate too old to serve at full capacity.  Karma bit the Democrat butt.  They threw a pair of large panties and a bra out to the voters,  and lost.   Irony.

Billy Joe Sue had a boyfriend,
his name was Diamond Dick,

Sex, death, religion should be things we can discuss at the diner table.


Yes, too late to stop!  It was too late to stop when the first lies came out of the sides of our public officials' mouths before anything was ever done!


Since we're referencing 60's cartoons he was more like Quick Draw McGraw who shoulda been seriously El Kobong'ed and turned over to Yosemite Sam


Why not - it's a direct violation of the establishment clause of the Constitution. Ah well - I'm pretty confident that he'll do something impeachable - probably soon.


@ hapaguy
You didn't answer my second question..wait..you can't answer because you made that up too?


so will Trudeau the feminist stand up for women at this meeting - or will he talk softly and carry a small stick?


To be completely accurate, they are not the core messages of these Gospel texts that you wish to present. However, they do tie in into the Church’s understanding, particularly of the sacrament of Reconciliation.

The Jewish process of forgiveness involved sin - repentance - forgiveness (up to a point limited in numbers).

Jesus took this process and (1) made forgiveness effective; He really could forgive sins and gave that power to his Church; (2) made forgiveness infinite.


So the increasing growth of the homeless all over Alaska is all the fault of Anchorage's mayor.  What a brilliant observation.


Yes, but that was in Canada! It's cold in Canada.


We do, but then reality sets in!  Enter 10 aircraft carriers to carry US policy to  hateful enemies.  What country do you reside in?  It surely is not the US?


Not that it matters since evs will always be a niche product.


This shows the power of corrupted people like Gordhan in our nation.


Here's what I remember from the 70's concerning this story.  There was a guy who lived in the valley, he was a Korean War veteran.

I read the JFK shooting papers and there was a notary on the grassy knoll this thing is bigger than we think.


The fact they have a powerful lobby group now pushing their second PM to put Canadian soldiers into "their" country of Ukraine to protect them from .... Russia I guess.

Although Ukraine sure has more problems than Russia on its border.


My deepest ALOHA to his ohana.


Jesus, as with the thousands of others who died through crucifixion, was naked on his cross  i.e. no loin cloth in spite of what one sees on statues.  I wonder: when we look at the crucified Jesus, do we ever think about the thousands of others who died as he did- in pain and humiliation??... and perhaps also in ''innocence'' given that the Romans used this kind of death as 'crowd control.'   Curiously, Jesus as portrayed in the Gospels, experienced an easier death than seemingly all others who died as crucified.  According to the Gospels... Jesus's death was hastened (and, some would say 'made easier) by a sword in his side causing an immediate death.   A 'normal crucifixion' was one that could go on for days as the body slowly suffocated, endured jeers, sun and what had to be a raging thirst.  Perchance, the Writers minimized the Lord's  suffering so as to force it into a ''fulfillment of the Prophets'' instead of the murder of an innocent man.


What part of public land do idiots like you not understand?


There will always be a certain degree of such "imposition".  Pacifists do not have the option of not paying the portion of taxes that goes to fund the military; those of us who hold sincerely-based beliefs, based on our religion that oppose some US political policies or DHS policies do not get to withhold that portion of our taxes that would go to fund activities which we oppose.


Sorry I hurt your feelings. I take back everything. Are you good with that Roy? I did not want to make you copy and paste. In the future I will give you a safe space. Warmest regards.


Ultimately this play on 'evil' small business owners (tax cheats) has really backfired against the rich entitled liberal leaders. Looks good on them. They should be ashamed of themselves and embarrassed. The went about this the wrong way. Canadians do not appreciate being bullied.


I would be willing to bet that the NTSB has a lot more pressing investigations to complete, given the slough of fatal crashes this year.  Two accidents with no injuries reported are likely to fall to the bottom of the pile, regardless of whether or not it is the same person involved.

"Self love is a sin"
I think that a bit of an overbroad statement.  "Inordinate" self-love, according to Aquinas, is where the sin lies.  It is love of self that causes man to seek a good or avoid an evil; sin arises when one has an inordinate attraction to a good (food, for example) or avoidance of an evil (pain, for example).  Scripture is also clear that self-love is expected of us, else we cannot love our neighbor.  There is a proper way that man may love self.
Self-abuse, however...


Have you seen South High?!


If I did not know better one would think this story is an epitaph of empathy for a terrorist. Where are the stories about the family's that lives have been shattered forever? How to stop it? Re-write the Koran? Expel the family's from the country, citizen or not? What to do with those that portray radical tendencies but get lost in the bureaucracy. Society cant continue to stand by while the weak and defenseless are taken. A dissertation on the life and times of a mass murderer tends to feed the ego's of the infidels we are. This is wrong on so many levels and at best dis-heartening.


Dude, Donald Trump lost the popular vote by 3 million votes because of "Gerrymandering".  That means CHEATING, and FRAUD.


In the name of putting an extra nickel into the pockets of polluters, Dourson, Pruitt and Trump are willing to risk the well-being of the families of their own supporters.

Maybe Republicans weren’t wrong to brand themselves the “family values” party after all; it’s obvious that Dourson, Pruitt and Trump hold fast to the values of a crime family, and are depraved enough to, in effect, take out a contract on our children.

LOL.  No I chose my words carefully.  Threw you for a loop did I?  It occurred to me this morning that there was an inconsistency in my arguments as I believe most conservatives do not want nuclear proliferation, especially to Korea and Iran.   I also believe that most conservatives do not really want guns in the hands of the insane or people like this yahoo.     The problem lies in the way to do it.  With nukes, it almost has to be the way we are going about it.  With some force behind it.   Now with guns, it has to be more individualized and more laws are not necessarily the answer.   We have enough laws on the books.  It has to be more person to person.  Neither nukes nor guns are in of themselves the problem, it is the people using them.   Really with both that is where the ultimate solution lies.


This all gets more ridiculous by the day. President Trump isn't going anywhere anytime soon other than to the Oval Office every day to continue working to Make America Great Again. While the media and many with no sense whatsoever have been obsessing on All Things Russia, the President and his cabinet have actually been accomplishing all kinds of things toward the goal. This nonsense needs to end soon, as it has been a huge waste of time and U.S. tax payers money. #Shame

Penn State, John Hopkins, Univ. of Michigan, Stanford, Duke, UC San Diego to name just a few that offer on line classes.  I understand that these schools are not on the same academic level as the prestigious  UO but hopefully they can improve.


So, Margaret, do you get tired of having to include the de riguer concessions about how Trump is awful this or really bad that?  I know I find them tedious to read.


I grew up there in the 60’s and 70’s... Pesdestrian accidents back then was almost nonexistent... And that’s because much of the responsibility to cross a clear highway rested mostly upon on the pedestrian. Now nowadays, you have to watch for them darting into moving traffic from anywhere. They think they have the right of way... Its difficult to come to a complete stop @ 35 mph in one or two seconds. Pedestrians should enter the highway with caution when traffic is reasonably clear. Don’t depend on the motorist to slam on his breaks and cause a pile up and possibly killing someone...


Any idea of the cause?


We'll find all those "illegal voters" yet, just to prove T actually won the popular vote.  What a waste of tax payer money.


Sun Ra has been vindicated!


I noticed that, too (actually more like $45,000/person).  That's even worse than the state's per capita public indebtedness, which itself is pretty horrible.


Second guessing Trump on the six nations identified in the EO is especially doubtful, since those nations were identified by the Obama Administration.


Do you find yourself like in a counseling sort of position, or is it strictly "Let's pray together"?.....Does this reporter like know how to speak without using "like?"


Sounds like someone's full of themselves.


Blame high taxes, high cost of living, diversity, inept government and out of control third world immigration.


Trump has never "gone bankrupt".  He owned companies that declared bankruptcy, under chapter 11.


Well, I got a chuckle out of it, and it's still there, so I guess you lose again.  It appears that some folks on here share my sense of humor.


May be the best way to protest against all of this is to stop paying taxes? Interesting how would government react if thousands of Canadians refused to pay taxes. Why should we pay for such idiotic policies and plans.


Well it would be absurd to pay for something you can't appreciate.


Shocking!


That's funny. I keep getting alerts that dillwinkle replied to my comments, but they get sh1tcanned before I see them. His Clinton Derangement Syndrome isn't playing too well. It's been happening for weeks.


Society, politics, the economy, every thing about life can move any way it wishes, even "backwards", especially when the politics of "forwards" stops providing solutions or a future for us.  There are no guarantees or rules.  Life is what we make it.


Of course that will fix it, genius.


It appears that the lack of blocking is intended to prevent the formation of small self-contained cliques, one of the unfortunate side-effects of the Disqus approach to moderation of discussions.

Come on, the government of Canada was all eyes on the climate change panel in Montreal through the weekend - virtuous priorities you know. As we heard from Carbon Barbie on CTV's question period yesterday morning, "carbon taxes make us more competitive." As she later blurted out "...that's just stupid..." No kidding.


Real military might uppercase that.  People who are pretending do as they wish.  Careful you don't attempt to impersonate a marine around any of the real thing.


Yea Wielechowski. Governor Walker is completely on the wrong track. He wants to raid the Permanent Fund so he can build his $65 billion pipeline. His plans remind me of Venezuela where energy has been nationalized and they now have the highest inflation in the world. Venezuela and Russia both have "Nationalized Energy" and both of their economies are failing, and this is a preview of what will happen if Walker has his way. Governor Walker's plans are disastrous. Thank you Mr. Wielechowski.


Mr. DeLorey makes a good point. Good writing is both explanatory to the lay reader and doesn't speak down to the expert. Bogging down a narrative like that with jargon served little than for the writer to show off how much he knows.

Criterium racing involves a short course, usually a mile or so, ridden repeatedly for a designated number of miles. This differs from a point-to-point road race or a circuit race, which is several laps around a longer course. The peloton, derived from the French word for platoon, is the large group of racers. I'll admit, lactate (not lactose) and wattage aren't my thing, but they essentially involve the power produced by the racer's pedal stroke and the physiology of the muscles.

Instead of having readers get lost in the weeds, the writer could have focused on the essential element of a transgender bike racer.

The Canada Council Art Bank is a good example of how the Federal Government wastes money.

The Federal Government is the customer that rents the vast majority of art from that building, very little is rented by private companies.

And the rental fees are high: You sign on to a two year agreement in which time you pay about 20 percent the appraised value of the piece.

What a way to burn money. If the Federal government simply bought the art outright, it would pay no rent and, after ten years, would be saving money every year forward, indeed saving the price of the piece every ten years.

That is what most private businesses do that want art on display, they buy it. But then private businesses do not have an endless supply of taxpayer money to burn...


Same with firefighting services. Those two line items are bankrupting many municipalities.


The only one on the campaign trail defaming ordinary American citizens was your candidate, Trump.  My, my, my how blind your world must be.

Utterly useless. Banning pill presses and hoping border guards will catch every small package of carfentanil is like pissing in the wind.

Myself as a pet owner of several dogs to other pet owner " READ THE SIGN". (pic above)
Irresponsible pet owners do not need to own pets, leash laws are protect your animal and other animals in the same area from harming themselves or others, not just other pets. A loose dog will run down any rabbit or furred animal it finds, (so much more humane than a trap I'm sure, sarc.) causes issues for other people trying to enjoy the area with poop everywhere and loose dogs running you over on the trail. Remember, not everyone likes dogs and have the same rights to the trails as you.
Need to have someone at the trail head handing out tickets to unleashed dog owners. maybe that can help pay for the new enforcement of the trapping reg. Only sound fair to both parties.

Other than that it is not a bad ruling.


"recycling" is a major financial loser, anyone with a small amount of common sense can understand this. Kill it now. Is that clear enough ? The only benefit is give society is to assuage the guilt that comes from "over-consumption" , especially with affluent Hollywood elitists, they can keep consuming as much as they want as long as they recycle, folks like Al Gore et al...

Trump will get the dems elected


Her views on abortion are wholly irrelevant to her views on the War Powers Act.


The point is not what the article says, or what it does, or whether it is accurate or not.  The only thing that matters for some is that it is critical of Trump, the man their courageous bishops supported and the man they voted for.  They will defend him regardless of his actions, just as they habitually support clerics who abuse children.  Right or wrong is irrelevant.  Partisans will back their side, no matter what.

None of the people you mentioned -- not the Republicans, not Clinton -- come remotely close to matching Trump's mendacity, either in degree or in kind. I like the Wall Street Journal imagery, don't you?  I especially appreciate that it's the WSJ.

Trump is a reckless, dangerous man; reckless and dangerous in ways that Cruz et alia (and Pence) are not.  Not that I would or do agree with them about much of anything; but they aren't nuts.

PS; What do you think about the wiretapping lie?


Yep.
A round flat table on four pillars that sit in an ocean of unknown depth, with a crystalline hemispherical "firmament" on top of the table, the whole thing surrounded by water in all directions. When it rains or snows, God opens slits in the firmament. When it floods along the coast, God allows the oceans to escape. See Genesis chapter 1, plus the Noah narrative, and also references in the Psalms.
Strange how the people who believe in the inerrancy of the Bible leave all of that out.
And as far as the peoples of the Middle East and the conflict there:
I feel all of the fanatical conservative American Christians who believe Israel is divinely inspired and part of God's plan are playing with matches in a gunpowder magazine.


So Jake how can you be sure a person has no preexisting conditions.  A person who shows no signs of cancer finds out they do have it months or years after it first starts.  Should the insurance coverage be able to retroactively penalize the person who showed no signs until they are hospitalized?


Still believe everything you read in the news, Slick?

How's that panned out for you lately?    Are we learning yet?


Every mass shooter in America, has been a legal gun owning Christian. Christians mass murdered the real Americans and stole their country. Now they call it "their country" and demand no one else come in. Christians still hold the record for the worlds worst atrocities and most people killed, and killed in the name god, during their Holy War, which somehow they managed to flip onto Muslims, by claiming Jihad means Holy War, which it doesn't.  Christians are also labeled the most ignorant people in the world and most unaware of reality. Although I can't imagine why! Clearly that isn't true... :/


Had to write a new Trump post due to our humor.. :-) newest article re the joke fest..


There's old Banister on meaningless rant again, trashing Brad Wall while ignoring the elephant in his own backyard.

Can you explain to us why, here in Ontario, Wynne has not only raised taxes, but she has also raised to deficit to astronomical levels, higher than California's debt... yet despite all of this, the provincial economy is still mired in the muck and there is nothing to show for the higher taxes and increased debt?

I'll await for some sort of a response.

Your comments are full of xenophobia (yeah it's still xenophobia when it's aimed at British culture), negative stereotypes and self-loathing. I bet if the same type of comments were made about any other culture you like you'd be foaming at the mouth. It's too bad you have learned to hate your own culture. Maybe you should get some help with that and those rather obvious anger issues.  FYI our Sunday roasts were quite pink in the middle.

The "One Thing" is that this time around "Civic" is funded.  The Original Civic was suppose to be funded, but was not, excuses were used, and we saw first hand what happened.  It was not the children who being children burned it down, it was those responsible for the funding and maintenance that "Burnt it Down".  I end with this, We have a Need for "Civic" but do we have the "Want" to maintain it?

The problem with library budgets, in Toronto anyway, is that there is an enormous amount of money spent on the building, and there is not much money for actually operating the library, and buying books.  This kind of thing has been doing on in Toronto for at least the last three decades.  It's the "hallway" syndrome.  Losts of money spent on space and hallways in public buildings, not much money for actually operating .

The thought must cross their minds now and then, but perhaps they don't care all that much because the marriage was all they wanted, since it gave them security (and in Callista's case a cushy government job).


Elise Patkotak had a chance to write about something important but in the end, her article reflects what really is wrong with Alaska politics and why its so mess up. Elise is neck deep in party politics. Politicians in Juneau are bloodsuckers to the people of Alaska. It doesn't matter if they are Republicans or Democrats. If the power were reverse, we would still have this set of anthropomorphic mosquitos sucking up the overtime money for their own financial gain. Elise's effort to blame this just on one party reflects why people like her and her ink in Juneau, are the real problem to our state.


"But that is no justification for throwing civil liberties and core values out the window."  Sorry RG, you have no right to say this because you folks have frequently thrown civil liberties out the window with the Shurtz black make-up case a recent reminder.


Trump is polling historically low. If this keeps up and Republicans intend to maintain the Presidency in 2018, they should be open to the possibility of running someone against the incumbent president in the primaries.


The only way the Rockies would be a lock for the playoffs at this point is if they were on a 95-100 win pace, and they are just not good enough to win 95-100 games. And I said that exact same thing in May, when they were on pace for more than 100 wins. At that time I thought they could win about 90 - and they still can, but will have to play well to do it. Anyone who ever thought the Rockies had any easy path to the playoffs has been listening too much to the ROOTsters.


Hyperbole is not necessary; at least bringing BC teachers up to the national average would certainly be a good start, however, especially in light of the high PISA scores BC students achieve.


Hmmm….in FY 2009, President Obama inherited an annual deficit of about -10 % of GDP. By 2014, the annual deficit was done to about -3.5% of GDP. The 1974 to 2013 average deficit is -3.1% of GDP. So I find it disingenuous to assert that “He’s done nothing…”.

We may have found a motive for Republicans to finally impeach Trump:
He's colluding with Democrats!


That's not how Canada functions in practice though, and practice, is what counts.


I don't think the Democrats have any worries; Chump is managing to sway his own voter base 180 degrees in the opposite direction! The Democrats only have to sit back and watch the fireworks!


Yeah, I'm still confused about how she got into that situation in the first place.


After doing a bit of reading (Ryan, Google is your friend) I find that the answer depends a lot on who you ask. Nisei are not quite the same as "native born" Japanese if they return to the "homeland". Then there are the half Japanese who are also often in a different position socially and economically. It would appear that for so called "native" Japanese there is a distinction to be made.

I rather suspect these subtle distinctions are lost on most non-Asians. Frei very likely was ignorant of these facts and the young driver running around waving his national flag might as well have been a pilot over Pearl. He is, at least on some base level still back in WW2.

We all have to get along some how....Trump is not very helpful.


The only real issue now is "Who gets the remaining $21 million?  If the inquiry folds, does all that  money go back to Ottawa, or do the natives who helped scuttle the inquire expect to get it for themselves?  If the inquiry continues, that money will be spent on hearings, meetings, conferences, reports, and bureaucratic paperwork.. I am sure many chiefs and band leaders  have different plans for what to do with it.

Isn't it "Federico Fellini"?


As a host country, Canada has every RIGHT to ask any  Question. These are the people who are crossing illegally from a Democratic country that is our neighbor.

If we are to provide proper environment for them to practice what ever they practice we obviously must know what they eat and at what time / how many times a day or night they pray or not pray! Same as what size shoes they wear in snow?


The Trump campaign is being investigated. Just what Trump knew is not yet determined. The FBI requested more funds to continue looking into it.
The investigation of the Russian collusion will continue- the people will demand it.
They are now wondering why Sessions, who supposedly recused himself from any involvement in the Russian connection, broke his word yesterday.


[and any peer review of you conclusions]

"Peer review" ?!  LOL

Your quackery study was only "peer reviewed" by COER leaders (and their funding) - it is a complete joke that only the desperate will defend.


Leinenweber was nominated by President Ronald Reagan on November 7, 1985, to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. He was a Republican member of the Illinois General Assembly from 1973 to 1983.

Do you wish to revise your nonsensical post now?


Lowest cost is not necessarily the best thing.  You should be thankful for the auto industry.  It brings money into the region.  That money is then spent and moved around the region by spending.

If you want lowest cost only then go to a right to work state in the US.


U.S. growth has already slowed and the "Trump bump" has fizzled.


I agree , this is my thinking as well . I plan on taking CPP at 60 next year when I retire. It has always been my plan . The other alternative is to work another couple years to make up for the delayed CPP payout ...not going to happen. This article is government propaganda.


The new norm, when lefties don't like ti hear the truth they call it fake news.   I know what I saw, that isn't fake news


While I fully agree with your sentiment, let's remember there wasn't an internet during W's presidency.  This thing is kinda new and really messing with our collective psyche when we let it.


No surprise there. If it supports you, okay. If not, then:

- it was written (insert date here that suits argument)

- yes, but it was contradicted by (name of book left out of the canon)

- when (name here) translated it, he (insert embellishment) the text

and so on.

It is possible, but not certain, that Paul did not himself write the epistle. It may have been written by a disciple of Paul. It is completely consistent with Paul’s thought, and was certainly written while one or more Apostles was still alive.

What it makes clear is Jesus’ identity with the Word that made the universe, also reflected in John’s Gospel.


Absolutely correct.  I am glad he has the guts and courage to stand up to that idiot Justin Trudeau.  The next Federal election can not come quick enough.  Trudeau is out to bankrupt this country and hand control over to his buddies from the Middle East.


Gotta love the religionists. Wyatt will have a lot of time to "pray for forgiveness". The girl's father ought to be dumped in to the slammer, as well. By the way, what was the mother doing to prevent this?


I agree, why not Dghelay Ka'a??? And in the mean time, will everybody quit mispronouncing Denali?  It's not pronounced De nah lee anymore than we pronounce Valdez "val dezz."


Why is CBC not pumping out this news the way they did when Russia was accused of killing civilians when Russia was liberating Aleppo?


If his own language isn't English, isn't it ironic he's kvetching about immigration? LOL


1. He is retired and working for free, so he can't be fired, but he can stop working, and that's what he's doing.

2. We know. Previous articles on this gave his background, they are linked below this one, anyone interested enough to comment might have bothered reading them, and others out there, to get the full picture. One quote:

"He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, the author of eight books on the Holocaust, including The Holocaust in History, Lessons of the Holocaust and co-author of Vichy France and the Jews, and a former dean of the University of Toronto's school of graduate studies.

...

"His scholarship would indicate someone who has fought his entire life for human rights. Younger Junior Fellows may not be familiar with it; it is reasonable to react how they did," he (Segal) said.


Should have traded him in December. Too late Now -they need to dfa him.  Boat anchor around the teams neck right now.


Will Trump's claim that his plan will include  "insurance for everybody," join Obama's assertion that "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor", and Sarah Palin's "death panels" on the list of health insurance hyperbole?

Republicans been unable to put together a plan (despite saying they were going to replace the ACA for the past 8 years), and now GOP politico's are anxious about the political fallout from ending coverage  It gets worse, WA Democrats Cantwell and Murray voted against giving Americans access to cheaper Canadian pharmaceuticals which won't help  keep down medical costs. Now ACA covers more of our citizens, kept pre-existing conditions from disqualifying people from insurance coverage, and covered adult children to age 26 on their parent's insurance. Most Americans don't want these provisions to end.

Despite Mr. Hall's aversion to having a dialogue on the matter, this is going to be the only way citizens will actually be able to talk about what they want.


Do, have you stopped torturing small animals or beating your wife yet?


Obama will be judged (in about ten years or so, after some partisanship fades) by what his enduring accomplishments were; not what he tried to do and was thwarted by the Congress from doing; not by what he did 'with the stroke of a pen' that was then removed with another 'stroke of a pen', not what  he tried do internationally but couldn't because the American people were tired of 15 years of war;  but what actual enduring accomplishments he had that are still around in ten years or so.

Bill Clinton did NAFTA.   Carter gave back the Panama Canal.  Reagan gave amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants.

The only one that pops up for me is him getting quite a bit of Chemical Warfare items out of Syria and subsequently destroyed.

What other enduring accomplishment(s) does anyone see that will still be acknowledged in ten years or so?


"I have an idea."

You mean you have an original thought, RD!  Are you sure it isn't just another thing you read on breitbart?


Complete disdain and hatred towards Canadians born in Canada
WHERE IS YOUR EMPATHY FOR US! NOWHERE BECAUSE ISLAM DOMINATES AND CONTROLS OTHERS THROUGH RAPE AND MURDER, A FASCIST IDEOLOGY!


Shizz!!  That an honest, and objective, and dedicated,  South African woman, loyal to her country and to its progress,  should be intimidated and under threat,  is ludicrous.  Crazy-mad. The ANC has gone, and has been replaced by a Mafia.  And that Mafia is now threatening our country, and should be removed by whatever means available.  Why?  Should we have to fight, to get rid of them. They are already criminals, and traitors, and should all be chucked into gaol (or jail),  without any more faffing about. Why, again, are South Africans so scared of taking action against wrongdoers?  Too much intimidation by this Mafia?


"Plsssssss ? Who talks like that?"

Gollum.


According to your Bible, your god murdered millions of fetuses and innocents whenever he had a snit about people not worshiping him enough. If you don't get the irony, I'm not going to bother to try and explain it to you.


This is even better- and there are many more on youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aYFC_7ZIn4

Look, we know you're angry and upset that Trump won, but stop with the lies.  It doesn't help you and doesn't convince anyone to change their minds.  It just boxes you in.


Or

How about a follow-on study on who does, and does not get deported because of irregularities on their immigration documents and why?


Communists and left-wing thugs have no place in modern society. None.


Drain the bog


Michael, my condolences on the passing of your beloved Clementine. I agree with you that no creature on earth can love like a dog. And I say that as a long-time cat owner. Hugs and prayers.


Like any honest person did not already know this...Liberals and pro-illegals are so dishonest


His whole family were lying killers. He is a lying killer with no moral compass.  His lawyer coached this garbage. You are an idiot to believe this "thing"  should be  allowed in Canada.  He is no child!!!


Meshes well with their recent EBT card effort.


[Customers are not loving McDonald’s nut allergy decision ]  Errr...*some*. As I look across the street at my local McDonald's, it's as packed as ever. And oddly, I'm not seeing anyone having allergy attacks.

Are you?


I would tend to think that it is the awareness of most drivers that has kept these figures down but I also think they will grow as the practice increases. Self-preservation is simply an alien concept to some people.


How did the cheerleaders do? Nobody writes about that.


Huge thank you to the Rolling Thunder, the Montesano city council, the Mayor, the VFW, all the veterans and speakers involved in making that day and the memorial signage happen. It was a day I would not soon forget and now with the Fleet Park memorial and the "“S SGT Timothy Peter Davis Memorial Drive” sign on Academy, it is a day that I will never forget.
   A perfect way to honor my great life long friend Tim. I will never forget my friend, his strength, courage, loyalty, and the sacrifice he made for the rest of us.
Freedom is never free. From a civilian to all the active duty military, veterans, and those no longer with us, much respect, and I salute you.


That may have been 20 years ago, but the new players still bring their tainted socialist ideology with them.


CHINA IS NOT CANADA NEITHER IS THE USA. Your lobby lies to ruin BC like Fort Mac that is completely burned to a crisp from your years of ignorance not cleaning up toxic waste is A NATIONAL DANGER TO ALL CANADIANS.

Here's a better idea - send Gerry Butts as consul-general to San Francisco.  In fact, offer him a permanent appointment there.


Bureaucrats always play to our naivete, innocence, and the basic concept of trying to do what's right as you did.  I run into these types in all levels of school administration, the DMV (well ANY government office), customer service (especially in the financial industry), building contractors/sub contractors, etc.  They will say almost anything to make you go away regardless of what is correct, incorrect and right or wrong.  Unfortunately, it is part of our maturation process.  Thank the stars the young have the internet now to check on these people.


Maybe Mrs. Wynne will be inspired by all this.


My husband, who has shot a 50 caliber machine gun, aka "Ma Duce", during the Vietnam War agrees with you. He knows the bullet can go that far or farther but hitting a human target or any target for that matter had to have been pure luck. In fact, my husband would like to take the sniper to Las Vegas with him.
My son served nine and a half years as a Marine, shot various firearms, and other "neat" things that go boom and blow-up such as $5,000 missiles, as a Marine Anti-Tank Assaultman and in the Advance Infantry Assault team, said many "improvements" and "innovative" weapons have been developed, since his last tour in Iraq.
There are so many things these days that were once the stuff of comic books that are now reality. Jet packs, IPhone watches (remember Dick Tracy?), unmanned flights and driverless cars to name a few. So, while unlikely, it is possible that a scope and some type of computer programmed sniper rifle has been developed.
Guess we could ask Marine Gunnery Sgt. Lee Emery


The pigs at the trough still looking for more free rides, and for everyone else to pay for another Bridge to Nowhere, on the backs of people who actually produce GDP. This is the Party that America just dumped, just in case your still having Pork Roast barbecues with Don Young. This is the reason were 20 trillion in debt. Can't make it in the real world, call up the Alaska Delegation, and the'll even get you an unwanted interchange in Florida. The Bridges to nowhere Team, as long as it lined someones pocket, just like Frank the Bank Murkowski, History does not lie.


The "silty water drags you down" myth is just like the "traffic driving over a snowy road drives the frost deeper" one.  No science involved, but go on believing it if it makes you happy.


Thanks for the compliment.   How about I take over the governship of this fine state?   Do you think I would be good?
Maybe they would use their nuclear bombs ;-)


nope, hes a child molester


Why would anyone do that? The situation is almost resolved - lets see it to the end. As I pointed before, no need to drag this thing on forever.


Sounds like an advocate for the new world order or kingdoms for the rich. One always wondered how the kings were selected in the first place, but stealing from the people has to be how it's done certainly not by special mothers that only give birth to the noble. John, only a lawyer could believe something like this.


Six months of slapping his opposition around isn't enough? Erasing Skippy's "legacy" is not enough? Denial will not salve your bruised egos.


These comments are amazing proof of all the paid trolls and Russian bots on here

Less then 15% of Canadians support Trump yet look at these boards.  All the proof you need.


Yeah Obama sure let it become a mess under his terms.


You are waffling AJ... something akin to African Accounting!


Wow all the title needs is Clinton's name.. But really if this was about a Trump investigation Trumps name would be listed first.  This is hogwash.. just a week or two ago Comey was a true Patriot. now? That it hurts Hillary? He's "weaponizing" the Base.. SUCH WORDS!!!! I've had comments blocked on this site for nicer words than this.. But ADN has it's reader base. and this plays right into it..


After a certain amount of time has passed, what was once "invasive" becomes part of the environment.  120 years is pretty long time for tge cattle to have been there. Nature adapts one way or another. Sometimes the invasive species survives and thrives in its new environment or it eventually will die off because it was not meant to be there. Nature has a way of taking care of its self except when it comes to the most invasive species of all, humans. You have some who can live in harmony and the others who end up destroying the land and/or the plants, trees,birds and animals. Eventually, Nature will survive as the invasive will adapt or end up killing its self off by killing everything it  has devoured .


Are you a Rockefeller Brothers shill then? Or is it George Soros? Grow up yourself.


LOL!!!!!!!!!! You're going to use the fact that guns were used to murder 10's of millions of people to imply that guns make us safer?

Seriously? You can't be that dumb.


Suncor received a royalty break when they expanded the Tar Island facility. And if you do a little research, they sued the Alberta government for the same royalty break when they built the Firebag facility. Shell received the same royalty subsidy when they built Jack Pine. And Syncrude partners essentially expanded the Mildred Lake refinery at the expense of Alberta taxpayers.


Dude, he's term limited,......he can't run again, thus the reason he doesn't give a $hit about the people of Oahu......only cares about his union bosses and construction pals


Hm, this sounds like a functional business and a good thing for Port Angeles.  I assume that means the Port is intending to kick it in the teeth.

The Port seems to have two modes of operating with its tenants:  if they're real businesses that create family-wage jobs, like our shipyards, the Port treats them like unwelcome deadbeats;  if they mean well but never get beyond the fantasy stage, the Port bottle-feeds them with our tax dollars.  I hope the Port can break with its old pattern and actually give a good solid business some breaks.


I am so sick of animals on the plane. I have to fly for work every week and it's the same thing: somebody claiming their dog is a special trained animal for emotional support. I'm also tired of airlines not taking into consideration people who have allergies. Animal owners forget that those who suffer from allergies often can't just keep taking inhalers as they are really bad for your health. I should be able to travel in public areas free of animals, dander, and dust.


Nah. You can get that right at the strip clubs if that's your thing. The most successful clubs have private rooms making for a safe transaction of "goods" and fluids.

In all honesty, I may be giving you guys a lot of crap but I'm just another 21 year Avs fan who couldn't abide by this behavior and failure any longer. I feel for every Avs fan and I want to sincerely wish you all the very best. I'm a hockey junkie and will still be rooting for some of the players there. The Kroenkes broke my heart. I wish I could break their bank account and throw them to the wolves.


Trump won the election because the alternative was so much worse. Trump may well end up being a one term president. If he earns that than so be it. We are headed to an unknown destination but the election was about Obama's policies and whether to continue them or change directions. This came from Obama himself.  The country decided it wanted a new direction.

I for one am hoping that Trump does so well that he is indeed re-elected in 4 years. Because that would take "real" accomplishments to convince the people to continue with his policies.  He is so disliked by so many that the only way for him to make it 8 years is to do good things for the country.  I am not going to condemn him before he has a chance to show what he is going to do.  I do like most of his appointees though and look forward to seeing whom he appoints to the courts.


Too bad that cohen has declined to show any proof whatsoever, that he claims to have, that he was not in Prague.
9 days is plenty of time for him to have gone in and out without having to have his passport stamped.
Can't you figure that out on your own?
I suppose I wil have to continue to school you on how deceptive liars like trump and trump's lawyer are.
.
Nothing in the dossier has been disproven.


We dont need islamo fascists throwbacks trying to turn our nation into their third world cess pool...Go back to your country if you don't like the President or his policies.


Evidently you also missed the fact that you stated that you "believed" that the climate changes. That is antithetical to science. That was the point that you missed.

I detailed a host of "natural causes" in another reply to you. That would indicate that they were not being ignored. But why do you ignore anthropogenic causes? If you "believe" (there's that word again) in science, why are you not acknowledging the evidence for AGW? Alternatively, which of those natural causes that I detailed do you mistakenly believe has been responsible for modern warming?


A press briefing is bad kabuki theater on a hyperbolic reality TV show  - with audience participation. A press briefing is specifically designed to blind its beholders with brilliance, or baffle them with bull****.  I'll leave up to the readers to decide what proportiions of brilliance and baffle this administration puts out.


I also think that if you legally own spoons, you can get fat.  ter.


This onerous bill called the AHCA could be called  the Ryan/trump/deathcare bill because without a doubt people will die without access to healthcare and needed prescriptions. We still don't know if the recision clause will be reinstated whereby insurance corporations could legally cancel your policy if you were stricken with a costly ailment or accident no matter how many years or decades you had paid in the premiums. And all this cold hearted taking away health insurance for 23 Million people according to the CBO report released yesterday just so the uber wealthy can get an enormous tax cut. In a sense the CBO's report that the AHCA would cost $100 Billion less than the ACA is a fabrication because the GOP fully intends to give the $800 Billion slashed from the budget of Medicaid to the wealthiest people in the nation in yet another giant tax cut. That's money lost to the tune of nearly a Trillion Dollars, not money saved folks. Unbelievable, cold hearted cruelty for tax cuts.


"Whatever happened to the Russia thing?"

The fact that you choose to:

1. Pretend you didn't say things we can all read;

and 2. Ignore the stories about the "russia thing"

are not my problem. You're very plainly trying to call out lib'ruls for the very thing you're doing, and it's hilarious you refuse to admit it. The rest of us don't need to be told every 6 nanoseconds that the investigation is happening to believe that it's actually happening.

Here's your 6-nanosecond reminder: the investigation is happening, no matter how much you try to ignore it. And FFS, the "Obama adminstration dropped the ball" is a news story from 6 months ago (they didn't, but whatever). That is trump distracting you from the actual investigation. WHich is still happening, since you need constant reminders.

You got distracted from the investigation by a petty trump tweet. The exact thing you're trying (and failing) to accuse libr'uls of.

SAD!

ps the investigation is still happening

still happening!


Roughtie: very impressive, good for your Sens!


Argyle, your question about "how many will Canada retain" after providing educations etc is a good question....

.... considering that about a third of a million Canadians live in the city of Hong Kong and probably a similar number live in the state of California...


What a worthless article. To base the occasion of Halloween not upon spirit, but the amount of money people spend on candy is the among the stupidest things I've ever read. As opposed to other places (too many to name), the Denver area has pumpkin patches and corn mazes to indulge in, not just Snickers bars.


And the prospect is a SS who is blocked by Rogers, so IMO a good use of an asset likely to never be utilized.


Jebuz Lamont Cranston - it's nice you pay attention to my posts but that's almost stalker territory you're in.

I recall the issue on refugees crossing the border that some posters were frantic with rage that it was happening at all.  I simply noted that short of shooting people, greeting, accepting and processing them as we/RCMP were doing was the only option.

Shame you don't like my take on Russia and Ukraine.  Crimea River.

And for the umpteenth time; PLEASE stop having my posts deleted because you imagine they mean something they do not.


LIAR!

This is exactly what you posted:

HB17-1305, HB16-1308. You must be unaware of the real world around you.


"Handguns and assault rifles, like explosives, only have one purpose, and are very efficient and reliable at it."
The term "assault rifles" is meaningless and handgun are already very heavily regulated. But if they are allowed to only have one purpose that must be target shooting since that is the vast majority of the use most civilian guns receive.


Thank you for doing so. Out of curiosity, do you do the same for other racist groups like LaRaza, BLM, Black Panthers etc.?


I wonder how many kids found out their daddy is not their daddy?


Kermot, I'm sorry, I meant Dermot, thank you for the indepth, investigative reporting....


Nice post Art. Thanks.


NITRO08>  What are you talking about?  "Your orange person"  And who might that person of mine be, by  chance????


Sounds like a fun elective class.


At this juncture, if the 6th Nuclear Weapon Test happens, it is definitely to remove Press Indulgence in Small Countries including ME from where #NorthKorea earns. If NK clearly thinks which Press is Special.


I wonder how he passed Prozanski's background check?


When was the last time you met a racist sexist group of teachers and administrators in Oregon? There must be many reasons we are not hearing, and EVERYONE is afraid of being labeled a racist misogynist so they reinstated her.

As with ANY firing there are far more problems than are released to the general public. In this Eugene/Springfield area, there is no way the PC schools system would terminate a capable female minority.

Of course, I am admitting I also don't know the facts.

BTW, when was the last time a grammatical error was not used by us to trash a person posting we disagreed with????? Are we posters no longer going to do this, since we think it is not important for principals? I make lots of typos and mistakes, but then again, I'm not sending out emails as a principal....


Two points for you to consider:

1. Say President-elect Trump would follow through on his original policy of deporting 11 million undocumented immigrants (he's rolled that back to exactly what the Obama administration is already doing by the way.) Who is going to replace their role in the economy? Am I to believe that supporters of these policies are eager to fill the roles in society undocumented immigrants are filling? What are your opinions about places like Alabama that have passed strict policies against undocumented immigrants? Do you think that's working well for them (it's not.)

2. Nobody is "pro illegal immigration" but when it comes to "cracking down" on the illegal immigrants who are here, many of them with natural born children,  how do you avoid having a giant bureaucratic system that racially profiles U.S. citizens? How do you avoid eroding the constitutional rights of people who would get caught in that net? Images such as the Japanese internment camps come to mind.


Millie: Seriously, you're going to do that to Ted Williams, sport? It is like me asking Russ Jackson to coach the Leafs. And ya Minnie has had some good teams, but generally it's been sad, very sad. good luck to Bruce, but i think Habs just had a night off, it's expected at this time of the season, for some teams, don't  cha think?


A quick bit of investigation revealed that as of 2014, there's 29% more male lawyers out there working in Canada (53, 153) than there is female lawyers (40, 920), so unless the Minister's pool of candidates was a pretty egregious statistical anomaly, such that our SMALLER pool of female lawyers produced a LARGER candidate pool of qualified candidates for appointment, her arguments that she appoints on merit and merit alone are total baloney. Given the size of the two pools, the odds that her utterly flipped split of candidates is the result of random distribution of talent drops to near nil.

I'm 100% comfortable accusing her of outright sexism in her appointment process.


You did the right thing. It would have been much easier to leave it in the field and keep on hunting. Glad you applied ethics and took responsibility. - Hope you keep hunting in the future.


Amazing that the Japanese can extend the Shinkansen from Morioka to Hakodate, 93 miles, for $4.7 billion.  It's in the country, true, but a large % of it is in tunnels, culverts, elevated guideways, etc since it is completely isolated.  A private company in Texas is also considering a Shinkansen from Houston to Dallas and they estimate $12 billion for that 239 mile segment.  Something is very wrong here.


In this country, people accused of murder are released with no trial because the procedures took "too long" and members of terrorist families get 10 millions bucks deal...

And the victims? They just don't matter. If the bill of rights really says that, then this document is flawed and wrong. Period.


Condolences to the family and to his brothers and sisters in arms.


Man shamming. Man hating. Feminism is nothing to be proud of. They claim to be peaceful, tolerant and for human rights. But that is all bull.


thats because we have an increase in the number of big babys in this country. safe rooms? please, get over it you big babys


ACH:  So who is going to figure out how much each person owes? That's the beaucracy I'mtalking about.  Yes, I am the one complaining about the 200,000.  Your plan does little to change that.  That said your plan will never float.


Yes, please. You had me at the 'UO foundation being run by professors' analogy.


If you quote Trump or run footage of him, he comes off in a bad light.  There is no way to paint this clown in a good light -- it runs counter to the evidence.
And we already have someone like Trump in Canada -- my brother-in-law.  Thankfully, he has no power and I only have to put up with him once in a while.


It is extremely offensive to anyone who understands why it can't be "won"...........


The Zuptas must indeed be in 'panic mode' to resort to having this woman write articles on their behalf.


you assume that the 1 example she shared is the sum of her whole experience of racism and discrimination in Canada. this isn't about her "feeling" discriminated "in the past" by "one individual". it's about actual discrimination that happens daily - from individuals and systems and industries (including much of the music industry). we should all be thankful that she used her time to speak openly about this. we should be thankful for the work she is doing and sharing with us. the world does owe her something for that work - at the very least some respect and compassion. As for the sound issue, she carried on performing like a pro. Her job was to make sure she was delivering the best performance possible, and the techs jobs were to support in that by providing professional sound - they failed at that, she didn't. "Celebrity-status" is irrelevant, she is entitled to have the same expectations on the sound crew as any other artist. She called it out appropriately.


Yes, isn't it $500K?


Well, you really offered no response to my analysis, so does that mean you don't challenge the truth of it?

Of course I'm concerned about the "quality of clergy," as are we all. Admitting married men to the priesthood doesn't make any change in that, unless you are prepared to argue that married men are intrinsically "better" in quality than unmarried men, which is without foundation, and rather insulting to single people. Is that what you mean to say?

Now, overstretching personnel certainly affects quality, which is where my analysis bears some consideration. By my calculation, admitting married men to the priesthood would *reduce* total clergy availability, thereby overstretching them further. If I'm right, what does *that* do to quality?


EU "democracy" in action.

Berlin/Merkel is using its puppet government in Madrid to stifle Catalonian freedom à la fascist Franco so that the German EU Empire will stay intact.  History repeats itself.

Brexit was a wise choice.  And Merkel can't do much about that.

Germany will become even more insufferable as the AFD/Gauland becomes more powerful.
