I tend to agree with the ferret. In my case I retired at 59, have not taken my CPP and do not intend to til 65 by which time I will have reduced my RRSP by 30% and paid the taxes but put as much as possible in my TFSA. Taking my CPP at 65 along with OAS and having my bridge drop off my pension payment I should have an income in the 50K bracket and not pay too much tax until 71 when the RRIF starts. Reducing my RRSP without a huge tax penalty is a goal as dying with a big RRSP and no spouse means the estate gets hammered with  a 50% income tax bill in the year of my demise. Anybody know when that will be? Me either.


wasn't there supposed to be a prison out in JC?  maybe 10 yrs ago or so?


We have an idiot in chief who calls global warming a hoax and an 86 year old woman who has never seen floodwaters that high in the 40 years that she has lived there. Who would you tend to believe that global warming is real. The state of Texas is a republican stronghold and as much as I pray for our fellow Americans I can't help but feel that there is a divine connection.


Money in religion/politics corrupts!
Except for ‘green religion’,  the future is dead-end. If the desolation of the Middle-East and the violence of politicized religion don’t shake our souls, we’re already petrified in thinking. What will Putin and Trump talk about when they get together - probably, more golf than gulf.
Absolutist religion/politics guarantee conflicts; on the other hand, open-end dialogue can lead to an open future. A ‘Back-to-Nature Movement’, embracing in principle and practice ‘Community Interfaith Academies’ and ‘Community Supported Agriculture’ can put religion, politics and life on a converging path. Nature-sensitive culture affords best chance for a future of reconstruction and ecological vitality. The plundering of diverse life by the petrochemical trashing of soil and plant genetics is not a survivable direction to be taking.

Don't worry about the parking issue; instead, keep the number of slots available down for whatever you're offering. That's about as good as it can be balanced for now. What a joy to read, and best of luck to you!


As a retired marine biologist, I assure you I love science.  And that's why I asked you to back up your implied claim that more people are struggling under "climate change dogma" than are struggling because of climate change itself.  As a data-loving biologist, I like to see if there are  actual numbers to back up vague claims.

So Foster, do you have any such numbers?


I believe the article stated that the man is a 10 year Canada citizen.  That is good enough for me for their  involvement.

ok so what! cant do the time as they say dont do the crime


Should've done a State lottery long time ago.  But then I really don't have the confidence our State legislature would be intelligent enough to know how to use the money.


Empathy is not Donald Trump's strong suit. Unless of course there is a way for him to make a buck on the deal, and he doesn't have to do any negotiation. Because this guy couldn't make a deal to save himself from bankruptcy, and he has tried, on many occasions.


because they are so damn in a hurry to get somewhere, they don't care who they hurt or kill to get to where they are going!!!


Or sometimes a good 'deflection' is a good 'reflection'. 24% increase is a sorry bit of news for all those people  who fell for "Affordable Democrat Healthcare"  Act 1  Scene 3   Somebody, please pull the curtain on this flop!  I do admit though, Obamacare is crashing...


Sir, you are a non commercial fisherman and you are saying you fish in the Papahanaumokuakea.  Please, the cost of fuel, the distance to travel and the yield of fish that you may possibly catch makes your statement highly questionable.  Further, did you have a permit to fish in the Papahanaumokuakea and did you have an observer on board.  I think you a just fooling around.  I doubt that you ever caught any ahi in the national marine monument.


Nonetheless we do, thankfully, operate under the rule of law. I am not comfortable with 10.5 million. Perhaps some laws do require changing, but the law is what it is today.

I do not like the political deception of Trudeau having determined & executed the award & not acknowledging it when questioned. A black mark on him. I am also not sure why the apology can't include "your family, specifically your parents were murdering terrorists, their influence over you, as a child, is the reason any further pursuit of you for murder is ending. The settlement recognuzes that the Canadian government did not uphold your charter rights when it provided information to the US. Despite the fact this was a period in which your family members of adult age were engaging in murder & or plots to murder innocent people, it was a violation of Canadian law for the government to participate against you in the manner it did. Our action now is ton preserve the bedrock rule of law in civilized countries."


As the NFL, players and teams, understand the respect of the American Flag and Anthem they will all join President Donald J. Trump.  The Pat's and Cowboy's have joined the President this morning.  Imua.

And she is 24 years older than him.....and she left her husband whom she had 3 children with to marry her former student.   Kinda icky.


LW1 - If you guys have separate finances and split everything regarding bills/payments, why not split the repair cost?  Where he got his money is irrelevant, and it sounds as if he's sticking to the pre-arranged financial situation.  Just because you gave advice that happened to pan out for him, it doesn't mean he owes you anything.  Had you given him that advice and he lost it all, would you foot the bill alone for the repairs since your advice cost him his inheritance?


Not surprisingly, mainstream media didn't include the findings of a recent Harvard Study on mainstream media bias.  In short, " the study was released to the public proving beyond all reasonable doubt that the mainstream media’s “fix” is in: to portray the 46th president of the United States in the worst possible light ..."


You people are disgusting!  Try respecting or President instead of insulting him constantly.  While you are at it... stop lying about him too!  Treat him like you did Obama...  you had your nose up his ass!


There are problems associated with this sort of conduct.  The reported ones are underage drinking and littering.  Sounds also like child endangerment as to the minors.

OK.  Here's a solution.  Make all participants either criminally liable for the specific acts, if caught, or conspiracy to commit those acts -if floating .  Make the only alternative for "avoidance" of charges for any of those things transpiring NOT TO PARTICIPATE.  Simple.

Sounds harsh, but this has to stop.  It's idiotic because it requires the intervention of law enforcement and life saving services to avoid death due to drowning, caused by use of alcohol at the very least.  There's also the trash problem.

Just make people criminally responsibleas "conspiracy", round em up as they exit the water, and charge all if there's a single incident of litter, alcohol abuse, underage drinking, or child endangerment.

They glory in the group entitlement to do it.  They should take group responsibility for the problems.


Sadly, I'd bet most on here aren't aware of the scam you're referring to.


If I remember correctly, they had that compound wired to self destruct - bringing it down along with all the occupants as soon as the "bad guys" arrived.


Trump Clearly Despises the Very Voters Who Elected Him

POTUS is backing away because he doesn't want to be tied to Clinton and end up in jail with her.


Trump doesn't reflect your values?  He seems to be about acquiring personal wealth, not paying taxes, (thereby putting the federal government in considerable added debt),   while at the same time maintaining and building on the world's most powerful military, and using that military at will, anywhere on earth; while de-funding environmental safeguards, lowering taxes on big business, and dismantling social services and public education, as well as health care, since that's all part of the socialist utopia...Did I miss anything?


I know some people who complain about the high cost of local produce grown here in Alaska.  The main reason the prices are higher, is that Alaskan farmers pay workers $10 an hour.  If the price of Outside produce included farms paying their workers a similar wage, then the prices would be closer.


New York Times April 2015
Beyond mines in Kazakhstan that are among the most lucrative in the world, the sale gave the Russians control of one-fifth of all uranium production capacity in the United States. Since uranium is considered a strategic asset, with implications for national security, the deal had to be approved by a committee composed of representatives from a number of United States government agencies. Among the agencies that eventually signed off was the State Department, then headed by Mr. Clinton’s wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton.

As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, a flow of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation. Uranium One’s chairman used his family foundation to make four donations totaling $2.35 million. Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama White House to publicly identify all donors.

How convenient that you start the quote with the portion of the statement IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING: "In view of the PASTORAL nature of the Council, it avoided extraordinary statements of dogmas endowed with the note of infallibility..". Moreover, according to the translation I'm reading, you also misquote him: The pope said only the "authority of the ordinary magisterium", NOT the "supreme authority". You further misquote by adding the adverb "obviously" before "authentic". The pope never said "obviously authentic", only "authentic". You really ought to familiarize yourself with the degrees of authority attributable to the theological note the Church attributes to ach teaching.


Yet another in the ongoing Wente series: "It's all good. Nothing to protest here." Also known as "I've got mine, Jack." These articles are usually buttressed by deep investigation, such as recalling how her latest dinner guests supplied or concurred with her opinions over an adequate Merlot.

It's true that the women's march lacked focus and it may, like the 1% protests, fizzle away. But the march did raise real issues. There are plenty of Republicans who will grill any potential Supreme Court justices on their stance on Roe v. Wade and vote for a judge who will further limit access to abortion. For many women, there are already severe limits on access, particularly for poor women who can't easily travel out of red states. If that happens that might give the women who marched the impetus to help bring down the Republicans.

Who knows? There might even be enough kerfuffle to disturb the complacency of Wente's over-privileged and overfed focus group.


Remember when the Liberal Media told us Spicer was  going to be fired. Never happened. It was just Fake News to attack the Trump Administration.


Please stop these rants.  You can challenge the topic or why other candidates are not also being vetted based on family relationships but you lose all credibility by threatening the writers themselves.


Increasing here in Vancouver you will see a decent rent advertised for a unit, say $1200, then the landlord hosts a group viewing.  He will then ask the gathered prospective tenants what they are willing to pay for the unit. Yeah - an auction.

You can get away with that when the vacancy rate is well under one percent. As it is here.

(Btw one of my kids faced this scenario twice when looking for an apartment recently).


The world is laughing at JT and the 39.6% of the voters of the last election that bought the media BS  about 'bad Harper" and voted for a person as dumb as a sack of hammers. They're lined up at the door with their hands out and so far they've not been disappointed. Justin writes cheques to buy the country an impotent seat at the UN Security Council, to enshrine his legacy, and the trained seals supporting the LPC get up on their tails and clap their fins. Worse yet, the Chinese oligarchs, like the Ferengis on Deep Space Nine, see weakness and are swarming the moron seeking unfettered opportunity to buy the country like they are in the process of doing all over Africa (I think that was a film?).

Canada elected a high school student council president to run the country. They voted for a Craig Keilburger persona as PM, but they got Ronald McDonald.

The lowest Liberal common denominator has found a new bottom baseline.


Not true, it is still an official language in international organisations, and will become more important with Brexit, and most of France's former colonies still speak it as their official language.

But even if it were true, so what? It's irrelevant. Malaysians, Burmese, Turks, etc. will still speak their own languages, just as Italians, Germans, Finns, Neerlanders, etc.

As a matter of fact, lots of francophone Quebecers speak Spanish as a second or third language. Latin america and the Spanish-Speaking Caribbean are very popular with Quebeces, many go back year after year and learn the language because of that.

Which is more than can be said for most English speakers.


Maybe we should take away the reference to "Native Hawaiians" and replace with "Americans" and this article becomes a wake up call for all of us....."more gravy on da rice and Mac salad please."

Sadly some believe in only hang him high.  A pity.


It's amazing how pervasive those subsidies are. For example, RTD is heavily subsidized by taxpayers in the areas it serves, yet is admittedly Denver centric. The focus is on Denver or going through Denver. Metro area taxpayers subsidize that transportation system disproportionately.

The people living in rural areas have their right to complain. One, the state is responsible for the entire state, not just certain areas. Two, people have a right to express their opinions. People whining about that should get over it.


So Federal funding isn't a ONE way street.  Who knew?  Tit for tat. Guess states can't just sit back and be takers.

Well I've been a criminal lawyer focusing on sex crimes in CO for 10 years.  So I'm quite familiar with the actual laws here, not a link to an org's website.  So go ahead and show us the statutes (requiring registration) that this conduct would violate.


To quote LBJ (who was referring to J. Edgar Hoover) I think the Republicans feel when it comes to Donald: "It's probably better to have him inside the tent p!ssing out, than outside the tent p!ssing in.”


You do understand it's the Republicans that caused the recession, right? So why should I listen to any Republican can. They don't know how to do anything but spend money we don't have and destroy what we do have.


This is a hard discussion. On the one hand most islanders support this kind of effort... generally as long as it is 'not in my back yard'. If it is in your back yard, such as for me but not C. Szala (according to property deeds), 41 units (40-80 cars?) sound like it will really change this area of Gorsuch/Dilworth. Part of the discussion touched on economical viability of building just 5 units, for example, vs 41 (proposed). I think for Vashon the ideal number is somewhere in between.


The first "westerners" to contact native Marquesas were Polynesians from Tahiti who immediately engaged in ethnic cleansing and genocide.

What you define as "Hawaiians" then began exterminating each other as epitomized by Battle of Nuʻuanu.  Interesting to note that little notice was taken of the iwi resulting from the Kalelekaʻanae. No state subsidized cultural practitioners in 1795?

As for "ummmm What do you think Hawaiians did before western contact?"

Based upon input from self-appointed experts the primary activities were:

1) mmmmm... Chanting reverently to inanimate objects.

2) Disfiguring each other with kakau, using unsanitary implements due to their lack of knowledge about animate beings such as bacteria and pathogens.

3)  Deforestation to create war implements and surfboards.

4)  Growing kalo containing xalic acid which causes kidney stones.

As for organizational skills the 2106 'Aha and the associated Na'i Aupuni with its 191 participants is epitomizes them.


Do you know what is even more stunning? to see you apply your spoonful brain into this matter. People like you should have no right to formulate opinions. They are useless too just like you!

This manifests a shopworn cliché as a fake solution to a real problem in which land and its ownership and occupation is the issue. Fake versus real. Get it?


Cutting income tax on the bottom 80% of income earners would have little effect. The top 20% pay 80% of the tax bill.


You mean that students end up stupider?


The day I will trust our immigration system is when I truly believe there is a Santa Claus.  Trudeau can say what he likes but he is absolutely wrong when he calls people who object to "illegals" coming across to our country racist; I resent this big time.  But then it is really easy to throw insults at Canadians who do not share what he stands for.  He is so "naïve"!


Nonetheless, Trump tweeted thus earlier this morning:

"I had a very respectful conversation with the widow of Sgt. La David Johnson, and spoke his name from beginning, without hesitation!"

Who to believe, Sgt. Johnson's widow or the man who has been proven a liar more times than can be counted?  That's a tough call.


Excellent comment.  The leftists will never accept this truth, and have worked hard to ensure that it will never be spoken of in universities and by western governments.  And apart from Ms. Wente's columns, this truth will never be seen in the pages of the Globe and the Toronto Star, or heard on the CBC - the largest and most powerful news media organization in the country.


But since NE splits their Electoral Votes she might have won the 2nd district.


42 or so people sold their properties to this guy. How is it his fault or blame? Don't want change, do not sell.


"If you're willing to believe- without any proof- that the Russians hacked the US electoral process, then why would you refuse to believe that a small percentage of US immigrants managed to cast an illegal ballot?"

The underlying question is one that few are willing to acknowledge, let alone answer.

In a democracy, the people are obliged to critically and impartially examine every word that comes out of an elected official's mouth. But people tend not to do that. They decide with their guts first, their feelings second, and their thoughts last.


Yes, the city has a responsibility to work on the local level to find safe places for those without housing. But, really, this is such a massive problem that it really needs to be a joint activity, state, city, county, and federal government. At a minimum the police need to be told that homelessness is not a crime, and if the city cannot point to a place for a poor person to sleep, that poor person has a right to survive.
Miami Florida worked to  solve the problem with a meals tax and other funding sources, but only after a successful lawsuit that forced the county to allow all homeless people live as best they could without police interference.

No bed, no arrest.
No public shelter, no arrest.
I thank the RG for published this series on homelessness. It may educate many to the weird absence of affordable housing, even at the Pubic Housing level. State legislators seem absent on this.

Interest payments on Ontario's >$300b debt will rise.  Swell.


Good to see someone citing the US Constitution.  We are a nation of law and no one,has the right to violate the highest law of the land.  The moment that US lawmakers, who swear to "support and defend" this document, hold themselves above the law is the moment that we become a fascist nation.  DF needs to be removed from office.

Pardon me if I don't climb onto your tangent . .  my remark stands on its own.


You might very well think that's who turns up when the swamp is drained, but I couldn't possibly comment.


Donald Trump is not just a bad president.
He’s an existential danger to the US and the world — and he is allowed to be so by a Republican Party that is wholly complicit in his failure, his corruption, and in accepting his embrace of evil.
As we do our best not just to resist but to overcome, we must aim not just for Trump’s fall, but for salt to rain on the fields of the entire, and thoroughly misnamed Grand Grotesque Old Party.


Look.

It's a really simple matter.

Trump has no idea what he's doing day by day.

Expect more of the same.

What did not, and could not happen, was Trump being 'shrewd' and/or 'acting tactically'.

He simply reacts to whatever immediate stimulus that he encounters which distracts him from his normally constant state of dwelling upon his own greatness.

   HIs lizard brain controls all his actions.

When Trump acts it's simply autonomous.

He's well know for agreeing with the last person that gives him any kind of input.

It's what he is.  Vacuous.


His tire was not flat, it was just resting. #alternativefacts


This poser enjoys the limelight so much that he’s ready to create new, relatively obscure but explosive issues, in order to get his face and that full head of hair that oh-so coveted tv screen time. Will this reduce Canadians’ tax burden? Improve health care? Bring greater prosperity to Canadians?


The articles may be cherry picked but it doesn't take away from the truth of them. Instead of refuting the truth, you turn back to Trump and ignore the elephant in the room.  Nice deflection.


For my Bethel and area friends and family, I had quite the scare today, felt bad, went to BFC (clinic) and they immediately sent me to the Emergency Room, they were ready, straight in, blood pressure critically high, they keep trying to get it down and took more test, said I was in heart failure, finally got stabilized when they gave me pain meds for my busted up chest, withing 20 minutes, blood pressure down, no more talk about medivac to ANC.
I lived..
went back to emergency this morning, not for heart but my legs stopped working, after hours they said kidneys and they want to medivac me to Anchorage, I REFUSED, then they wanted me to stay in the hospital here, I REFUSED, will see the doc Monday if I live... sorry, but Mr. White man here cannot afford $3284.00 a month for insurance, remember that "AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE" medivac alone is $40,000.00
rather die then pay forever


" we will fight the fight and prevail, keep a force in place to police that country, then move on to the next battle, win it, hold it, then move on to the next, etc."

We don't own the world. It's not our gated community.  We have enough work to do on ourselves, right here within our own borders.  Last time I looked, our bid didn't win the contract to be Global Robocop.


I believe the decline especially among those under 30 is that they sense the hypocrisy, judgmental nature  and general lack of love and kindness among Christians as a huge turn-off.  We again, I believe, need to hearken back to the Gospels and love one another as Christ loves us, period.


Evidently Ms. Clark and her party recognized that your rationale for that practice had absolutely no credibility with the electorate because she ended those payments just before the election.


"The fact is that sex plays a very limited role in the lives of many married men and women after their children have been born anyway."
Sez who?   If that is your reality, then it may have something to do with your denial of your own sexual orientation. If that is the case, I am sorry for your spouse.  It is not the way a thriving marriage is meant to be.


Would his affect the interest rate received by Canadians with trusts in the British controlled Isles of Jersey, Isle of Man, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands or the Cayman Islands?


What is your definition of "everybody"?  Because if you mean "all other airlines", you're waaaaay off.


Pharmaceutical and insurance companies have tremendous power to affect legislators through lobbying, and they are big players in the health and financial mess that is healthcare in the US. Their way of doing things is a problem for a lot of people. Not the executives who make megabucks, of course, just ordinary people who have to declare bankruptcy because they cannot afford to save their own or their children's lives through our medical care processes.

Love of money may not be the root of ALL evil, but it sure is an overwhelmingly large part of what is wrong with America. We think people should be able to make money no matter how much damage they do to the world, which, of course, is insane.


Amen to this!!!! Only now, past middle aged, and after my parents are both gone, am I fianlly realizing how luck I was to have the parents I had.


Your emotional response on your part which does not take the reality of the situation seriously.  Laws regulating driving have gone on for a long time, think mandatory seat belts and more recently texting while driving.  One concern does not negate others.  No one would argue that there are not drivers of motor vehicles who drive poorly.  There are.  My comment was about cyclists who place themselves in danger by violating the laws of the road.  There are those who do not. is it your contention that Denver's roads are indeed suitable for cyclists and drivers?  Is it your contention that drivers should also be wearing helmets?  What exactly is your point or do you just wish to inflame the already seething conflict between cyclists and drivers?


I think Russia's view would be rational if there wasn't a history of North Korea progressing for decades towards a competent nuclear weapons capability and their practice of sharing that technology with Iran and other trouble makers.
What Russia and/or China could do is sign a pact with North Korea to come to their defense against enemy attacks and that would eliminate the need of North Korea to have a nuclear weapons arsenal.  But that wouldn't happen because North Korea enjoys the imagery of a world nuclear power.  Their hostile personality and puerile videos of giggling dictator and military generals is scary.  I wouldn't trust them with nuclear weapons and nobody else should.
Why not promise to help them become a world economic power with trade and skills training for the world trade like China has in exchange for nuclear weapons?  China should be able to do this.


Jim, read the article before commenting!

Philadelphia Archbishop Charles Chaput used a weekly column to excoriate a “scheming” Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign for anti-Catholic bigotry on Thursday.

Thousands of hacked emails by Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta have embarrassed Mrs. Clinton since last Friday and revealed her key allies talking about ways to ignite a “Catholic Spring.” Documents obtained by the nonprofit WikiLeaks show Mr. Podesta and Sandy Newman, president of the nonprofit group Voices for Progress, mulling ways to end the “middle ages dictatorship” of the Catholic church.
Archbishop Chaput blasted the exchange, as well as another by John Halpin of the Center for American Progress that labeled Catholics “severely backwards” on gender relations.

Which of course is why cutting tax rates never effects tax revenue correct?  It's magic you see, fairy tale gumdrop magic.


We'll never know.   Gerald Butts would take the test for him.


We went as a family almost every Friday (when it was a West side of Spadina restaurant) for pretty much my entire teen years, even recruited my best friend from high school and his family to the cause   ... and now that I have lived out of town for over 25 years crossed to the east side of the street and went back when we could with my girlfriend (then wife) and then our children often with my parents and brother (and eventually his wife) in tow.

As for off menu ordering "old #1 - assorted cold cuts" (with nothing actually cold but hey that was the whole charm of it)".

A (or more correctly another) part of my youth is definately gone but the great intergenerational memories of family, friends and food remain and that as they say "is priceless".

Please explain why he "looks" ignorant.  His ears stick out like Obama's.  His skin is white like the Clintons.  Please explain.

While I think that any white supremacist is a fool and completely wrongheaded, they are still American citizens and are entitled to voice their opinion. That opinion may be insulting or reprehensible but they still have a right to free speech. I refuse to listen or interact with them in any way. They also do not deserve to be assaulted or silenced due to offensive speech. In fact, by assaulting them or attempting to silence them, you are actually making their case for them and attracting more to their way of thinking. I spent 20 years of my life defending every Americans right to free speech, even offensive speech and I choose not to give them an audience in my case. The more people refuse to attend their protests and listen to their message, the more they will be ignored. Not only by more and more people but also by the press. As long as nothing happens for the press to report. If the press have nothing to report, their message goes nowhere. Simple concept.


That's a lie.  The final polls had Hillary winning by about 3% - which is basically EXACTLY what she won by

The problem was Trump got the most amazingly advantageous vote split ever, winning 3 swing states by less than 80K votes in total.  If those go the other way, it's President Clinton


Any organization or person that tries to prevent a showing of the middle of the road informative documentary "The Red Pill."


In the 2016 Republican primaries, Jeb Bush was the rich kid in grade school and Donald Trump was the class bully who pushed the rich kid around, took his lunch money, and exposed him to the ridicule of his classmates.  The Bush clan will never forgive Trump for that.


You write just like Ivanka Trump. She too primarily used other people's thoughts and words in her book, which is really just a compilation of quotes from others which she doesn't even understand. Sound familiar?


Aloha Mr. Minister of Information.  Just want to confirm that in a little over 2 years, the Hawaiian Kingdom will once again rule the hawaiian islands?  Once that is done, you're saying that all ahapua'a will be restarted and all communities that are in the way will be removed so that the lands can then be put back.  And as part of that change, you're saying that the Americans will leave the islands?  Please list your current hierarchy of the future Hawaiian Kingdom.  I'd like to figure out if I'm going join forces and hike up the Pali.


"it would have came out already"
Yes.
Like yesterday.
try to keep up.


Sorry bud, Ontario has the largest sub sovereign debt in world at a cool bill a month to float.
Double land tranfrer tax and homes prices built on speculation not on actual earnings.
Rate go up and Ontario crashes, why do you think people are putting the brakes on ?
330 billion - oooooops.


The idea of 3 pts for a win in reg was raised by 1 poster.  Let's discuss.

Take the Atlantic, where if a team got 3 pts for a win in reg, then Mtl, Ott, Tor, Bos would be a few more pts clear of Fla by virtue of the fact they've won more games in reg.  Your Leafs, heavenly days, would have 90 pts to Fla's 84.

Now, I think it's right that a 5-0 win in reg should count for more than a 2-1 in a SO.  The logic is so apparent when presented that any pushback is nonsensical.  The reply from some regulars here that, hey, them's the rules and rules is rules is so chaotically indefensible that to even post it seems a violation of the most basic of common sense, though that's hardly stopped some before...

Further, rules is changed with dizzying regularity by the NHL nowadays, so let's not have any of that, shall we?

Finally, these same posters have chimed in with such missives as a shot on goal is not the same as a shot on net, and that Your Leafs pass too much in the SO.

The defence rests.


"always insisted"

Yes perhaps it would have been more accurate would have been to say that "in his writings, Brown consistently argued that the itinerant preacher ..."

But to to then blame Brown, in a study of Jesus, for not covering the subsequent historical development is simply off target  (rather like Trump saying "If I knew Sessions was going to recuse himself, I wouldn't have appointed him").


Yep--

with the nations economy struggling under the liberals and Mr Simpleton

a carbon tax is just what we need to make us more competative


If super delegates just voted like the non super delegates wanted them too their whole existence would be pointless.

It's shameful that public school unions are willing to do anything that protects their interests.


WOW!

Justin's and Gerry's stash just got more valuable - they'd better start rationing its use,


It's a wonderful day to spend with family and friends.


Are there any other fresh water streams around that could be diverted to the Red and Bonita to bring the PH up from acidic levels and to dilute the concentration of the metals and toxins in the water?  Seems to me the bulkheads caused the problem by concentrating the chemicals.  Had they just let them leak, it would have been less of a problem.


Another Trimp wimp out.  He has some bad foreign policy advisors whispering in his ear. Please explain to how "merely delaying" the move of the embassy to Israel's capital will help achieve peace? The Palestinians don't want peace. They want Israel to surrender and are perfectly happy being a "victim" country and recipient of billions of foreign aide until then.


Name at least three others ...


That's your wish ?


"Action" any "action"?   Who will be the recipient(s) of these alleged "economic and environmental benefits"?

Can we quantify them or must we accept them on faith?

Who are the gurus/prophets/seers/mediums of this faith?


Neo-Nazis, KKK, and white supremacists are now 'white conservatives' WOW. You need to work on your assessment skills.


Nothing from Tulo?  Is he still bitter and angry?


Funny how Trumpsters don't understand that...


So what you're saying is that we should keep drug dealers and prostitution IN Waikiki?


Another "progressive" groupthink op-ed. Whatever.


Dream on....


We need some machete control, I am demanding some legislation!

Can I get a harumph?


Define "truly poor."


We have the big government over regulate, tax and spend, do what the union says Begich city government. Just some of the names have changed.


Good point, I'm a lazy editor.


Got it.  I was wondering why 100 of our brave liberal posting warriors were all crammed in and hiding out on the 15 passenger short bus articles and attacking the latest Trump tweet.

Nothing to see here folks, move along!

Too funny :)

This is the most ethically challenged government Canada has ever seen.


You mean we are manipulating our currency


And I'm guessing you'd prefer to have mass shootings if that's the price not to have restrictions on guns.


An Obama appointed official that is singing the praises of Obama?
Well, we all know THAT will never be on the network evening newscasts!


"...public institution[s] must allow all to be heard."
I didn't say that public institutions had to invite everyone. But they do have a public duty to protect the speaker & venue from undue disruption. They should not uninvited speakers because some faction threatens to disrupt the event. If a student organization (left, right, or center) invites someone to speak, they should provide an appropriate venue with the same rules applying to all situations.


A large part of the current refugee problem in Canada is due to the Prime Minister of the country grandstanding on the international stage for anyone impacted by the U.S. immigrant crackdown that they are welcome in Canada. Then all of Canada basked in the glory of the articles contrasting Canada with America, the seat of all evil.
Evidently, the Haitians only heard the welcome part, believe all the Canadian myths and have no interest in listening to any other message because Treudeau said they are welcome. They may even think Canadians have an affinity toward them because 'everyone in Canada speaks French'.
How there could not be articles here holding Trudeau responsible for some of this is beyond me. It doesn't seem natural.


What difference does it make at this point, they're dead aren't they? Secretary Clinton.


Francie Duggan apparently doesn't get art, sex or what, in 2016, is deserving of outrage. Can anything help these people? Living in a bubble world appears to be making them super cranky if not mentally ill. Maybe the feds should give them back their oxycodone.


I hope President Trump never forgets her role in his success - the campaign turned around when he appointed her -what a great decision - Kellyanne is a star.


No income tax unless based on gross earnings so everyone pays instead of only half of the people.


Laura Cooper: "I can confidently state that American progressives have become so blinded by their own political ideology that they routinely sacrifice fundamental values such as objective truth, equitable justice and the rule of law..."
And I can confidently state that anyone who begins an essay on  law with such extreme hyperbole is not likely to be taken seriously except by the True Believers.


Jackscrew's need grease, as any old jackass would know, maintaining a plane, is just like maintaining any piece of machinery. Of course when you ride the donkey, you could let em feed on any side of the trail. Been riding the donkey long? You democrats are all alike. Antonovich? What nationality is that? Riding a broom stick, even witches check their broom sticks.


Co-Pierre, every good point you make is overshadowed by the fact that you see students as a lingering horde of barbarians. Surely you could have made the same points without that last paragraph. It's astounding that you believe you can say that. First that it's acceptable, second, that you are so cock-sure that no one will challenge you on it and third, that it enhances argument. What is wrong with you?


Oh gawd. Move the airport out to the island that's sinking.


Nice to see they elected a leader who will fight the Ken's and Barbie's in the Liberals party over the job killing carbon taxes that are raising the price of everything and hence the coat of living in Canada 10%.


I agree that Trump is a bully, but then again so is China.  Maybe Trump's approach is the only sensible one given the current global context.  Someone needs to push back a little.  I'm not worried about "consequences", as I suspect China's bark is worse than its bite.  After all, they want things to work in the end, because it is in their best interest to keep things relatively smooth.


If Michael Porter Jr. was Lebron James coming out of high school (an obvious slam dunk hall of famer), then you keep Romar.  Porter is deserving of the #1 rating in his class, but he’s not a transcendent player like James was in high school.  What’s the best case scenario for UW next year if everything goes right – get a 6 seed in the NCAA tourney?  Then what, Porter and maybe one other player leaves the program.  If UW can get a high-end coach, they should cut ties with Romar at season's end.  Ironically, Missouri has been mentioned as a landing place for Romar should he leave.  Porter played in Missouri prior to his recent move to the NW.  UW and Missouri are often brought up as two of the sleeping giants in college hoops.


When you have an agenda to push, you have to keep repeating it.  Over and over and over and...


No thanks! Not our issue! We have already given way too much money for these 30K+ refugees. Canadians have had enough of this insanity!


When there is a recession (not if) even Trudeau's debt to GDP will rise.  This government is failing Canadians, plain and simple


Only difference between Hillary and Satan is lipstick.--ken--


Reliable shill KK pops up immediately to support the oil companies.

KK, all owners of mineral rights, of which the State of Alaska is one, get royalties from the sale of *their* minerals.  This applies whether you are the State of Alaska or some rancher outside San Antonio. The oil companies do not support Alaska.  They pay us royalties for our oil.  Similarly, radio stations do not support musicians.  They pay musicians for the right to play their music so that the radio station can sell commercials to advertisers and advertisers will buy it because people tune in to listen to the music.

Your lies don't sink in with anyone except the very low IQ folks in Alaska, of which there are an abundance thanks to oil companies.


Another manufactured story from the Washington Post.  Aren't there any other papers we can get articles from?  The Post and New York Times are just full time ads for hillary.


Poor kid was molded into a DNC puppet by mommy. Caring parents don't abuse their children like that.


There certainly will be numerous lawsuits.  Will be interesting against whom and from who and for what.


It's a bit much to claim that Canada opposed the U.S. war on Vietnam, and ludicrous to think that made Canada "a major player on the world stage". The Pearson government spied on behalf of the U.S. as a member of the International Control Commission, did nothing to stop Canadians fighting for the Pentagon, and happily allowed Canadian companies to sell oodles of war materiel, probably including horrible chemicals, to the Pentagon.
When Noam Chomsky pointed out some of this on CBC, Saint Peter Gzowski blew a gasket on air ... but later had to apologize.
At least you didn't launch a similar claim about Chretien's official (but not unofficial) refusal to endorse Bush's invasion of Iraq. But that's probably because you ran out of space.


This is relevant to a thread about illegal aliens how again? Snarky for sure. Relevant, uh ...


Just try to get them to plow the snow off the sidewalk.


Refreshing to hear an inigenous artist who can play an instrument, sing and write. Too many low talent youtube artists pretending they are Chicago gang bangers!


Sound like Fox wants to be more like CNN, then the "we report you decide network".


You're talking out of both sides of your mouth.  You say the white supremacists should be condemned.  Then you say the counter protesters "lose credibility".  In what way, then, do they lose credibility?  What part of the white supremacists platform isn't wrong?


I suppose if I were a Marxist I would argue that Tillerson's nomination at least has the benefit of discrediting the hypocritical conceit that the American government is not controlled by multinational corporations.  We should probably delete the term "representative democracy" from the lexicon while we're at it.  The idea that U.S. government officials somehow "represent" us is now patently absurd.  We peons are here to be ruled for the benefit of our economic elites.


It's not about money and never was about money. It's about self-determination and independence from a strong central government which is no longer an issue.


There is one way to avoid all this and it is a win win situation for everyone. Lethal injection.


Note that Dawson has said that she hasn't seen anything breaking that Act from the Liberals


Jeffrey - does that make it okay to shoot the thief?  To become the executioner for the theft of a possession?  To put other lives at risk?

I sure hope you would rather fill out some paperwork than kill a person, even a thief.


Kukailimoku, looked up the name, obviously not one that suits your demeanor. imagine, imagine if there were people like you in hawaii when the first 'known' hawaiians landed here. people are people, the only thing that differentiates us is our biases and yours have no purpose or place in civilized society.


Playing a patriotic "hymn" at sporting events is rather ridiculous, unless you consider stadiums to be the equivalent of a church. End the practice of forced patriotism already. Much ado dumped on Kapernick for no good reason.
BTW, can you name a war(s) where an American soldier(I am assuming that is what you meant by "people") died to guarantee me or anyone else our civil rights? Off the top of my head, the only ones that remotely qualify would be the Civil War( to free black slaves), and the Revolutionary War (had it been lost maybe we'd still be subject to British rule, horrible that thought, eh?). Any gain or loss of civil rights we've sustained to this point hasn't required anyone in uniform to die(excepting the aforementioned conflicts) that I'm aware of.


Souki & Gang...looking out for our interests...

Yeah right.

Souki is an anachronism that is way past his expiry date and needs to GO


29 years old = child?

It's not exactly a swindle when one is welcome to go check out the property before freaking buying it. He chose not to do that, so.....


How many of those Bishops that the Pope spoke to were women? I grew up in the Catholic Church, and was constantly told by the Church and my parents that women were not as "human" as men. I had to wear a covering on my head--and my brother did not--because lowly female gender was not good enough to go before the presence of God with my head uncovered. Whenever I voiced my desire to go to college, I was screamed at to, "let some man take care of you!" I was one of the smartest girls in my huge school. The Catholic Church has long preached inequality and hatred of anything that is not "human male." Little kids and women were to be abused and demeaned (thus the horrible and inhuman abuse of young children by priests). After all, children were lowly like women.
If the Church wants to encourage healing, then give up your misogynistic ways and prejudices that are so common in societies of this world.
Of course, I left the Catholic Church as soon as I left home. Don't preach your lies to me.


It took ten years to turf Harper and, given the state of the Conservatives and NDP, I give Trudeau ten years too.


So, can the driver of a vehicle that hits one of these homeless people living on the medial (thru no fault of the drivers), sue the State for not taking care of what is an obviously dangerous condition?


Sounds like yet more politically correct history, touching this time on all the things that made our forefathers such disgusting people and showing how far we have come and how far we still have to go to expunge our past with more diversity and toadying to 3rd world countries in return for their "respect".


They (city assembly) find broad based sales tax problematic because it will go to a vote of the people. But they can circumvent the vote of the people by doing it one item at a time like this sales tax on gas. Slow but sure big gov.


Somehow when good things happen because of religion, I do not hear politicians saying: "do not credit that on Islam, it is only a minority who are doing good".

The fact is that revolutionary things, whether very good or very bad, are always done by a fanatical minority inspired by a doctrine. When bad things are done in the name of Islam and are condoned by a sizeable part of the Muslims in the world, we have a serious problem.

Politicians, as usual, are cowards who would rather stick their heads in the sand, live in their gated communities, and enjoy their nice salary and their future pension.

We can't afford Canada to turn into Europe.


Well then the  judge should've worn the MAGA hat under his wig or someplace  'under his frock'.


That's what happened when all the 'politically correct' people elected a muslim, who in himself, hated OUR country.  Notice most of the protesters are black.  If you don't like this country, move to North Korea....you should have one hell of a life there.


\i would like to see a schedule out earlier, I want to go to Calgary and see a game, wish we had a team here in toontown. |So does the C in CWHL stand for Canadian here and Chinese in China??


He's "solving" the problem of drunks, drug dealers in Town Square by ripping the fountain. Was just making a comment about his methods.


Yes, Sue, the opinions of that nasty "small homogeneous group of upper-middle class homeowners" are more important because they actually live there and have invested in the neighborhood. Now that you haven't gotten what you wanted there, now just please don't "frequently drive through and shop" my neighborhood and then think you can demand high density zoning here. Why is a "bicycling advocate" driving anywhere "frequently" anyway?


Okay, I will offer $100K for the 106 acres with no conditions.  Trees will probably grow there.  I like to grow trees.


Again and again and again people carrying bear spray in hip-holsters or on their pack's shoulder strap can't use it in time to prevent injuries. Carry bear spray in hand. During the 4th International Bear-Human Conflicts Workshop in 2012, biologist Steve Herrero said that in classes he teaches, it takes people 2-5 seconds to deploy bear spray. You don't have that much time during a surprise encounter with a brown bear at close range. Carry bear spray in hand, and if you're in thick brush with limited visibility or the situation just feels "bearish," thumb off the safety and carry the spray in hand with your thumb jammed under the trigger. State and federal agencies and save the bears environmental groups do a lousy job of teaching people how to carry bear spray.


We could sit here and talk about fair and not fair and all the "what if" in the world. I understand your need to pitch this. However, this is not Florida, and these mistakes have already been made here in Alaska. You would be a fool to assume that we should take a chance with my money, my neighbors’ money, and other established communities we have all invested in just to hope it doesn’t happen. It’s easy for you to say that because it is not your money. It is a mistake to hamper the many for the benefit of a few.
I also think it’s funny…the liberal mindset that everything is free and should be fair. Then when a state like Florida does something like what you say to increase tax revenue and buy someone out a fair market value….suddenly it is no longer fair because it is unfair to the people who sold. You cannot have your cake and eat it too!


Me too - following with great interest from London.


We already failed when the Donald was elected.  Not smart to go to the town butcher for brain surgery.  Hopefully the country will survive without too much collapse.  Already, it appears we are abandoning our leadership position to just be a non entity.  It remains to be seen if this is the best course of action.


We've had this previous discussion as it relates to DHHL.  The "failures" are related to this federal law passing management to the state of Hawaii when statehood occurred.

Perhaps one perspective is to see DHHL as an equity issue vs. an equality issue.


Steve was an idiot. Justin is an idiot. Next!


Just another couple hundred million$$$.
Do we have oil wells in Hawaii? Where is the money to come from? Oh ya, it grows on coconut trees.
I guess after the rail skipping Million and going to straight Billion, what's a couple hundred million between friends?
Wink, Wink.
Well, if we are going to go bankrupt we might as well do it in style. Think twice before you buy the bonds though!


.......9 months actually


The reasons for this settlement are to simply get it over with.  The easy politically neutral strategy would have been to prolong this, go to court, spend millions in legal fees, then lose in the end.  But at least that would have taken it past the next election cycle.

This was a no-win situation for Trudeau and he chose a politically damaging but arguably the least expensive route to take.  The actual damage was done by the Chretien and Harper govts when they chose the populist, politically safe strategy of bending to the will of the popular opinion even though it violated our own laws.  In other words, they did what was "popular", not what was right or even legal and very far from being courageous or principled.

Stripped down to simple facts:  Khadr is Canadian, like it or not.  And his rights as a Canadian were violated.   So it doesn't matter whether you hate the guy - or what popular opinion about Khadr says.  Our Govt did the right thing, even if it's wrong politically.


it's just a matter of time...and electing sensible Canadians. which means its going to be a long long time.


What about this guy?

"A University of Oregon football player has been suspended from the team after allegedly punching a woman in the face.
Eddie Heard, 22, of Eugene was arrested Wednesday evening by campus police and booked into the Lane County Jail on charges of fourth-degree assault and physical harassment, both misdemeanors."

Are professors sending out a petition and letter asking for this guy's expulsion from the school? Which of these "offenses" is worst for UofO's reputation? There are so many things wrong with the haste to force a tenured and exalted professor to resign, yet this guy doesn't get expelled or kicked off the team, merely suspended, until he has his day in court. The professor should have her day "in court" as well.


Sorry fort the short reply. Long answer is that every murderer had a reason for killing. Voices in the head out covering up adultery,  it's all outside of my definition of dame.

When someone straps a bomb to themselves because it's what Muhammad would do, they have been leg on that path but they ate insane.

The congressional softball shooter was invited to his attempted murder by the #resist movement. Still, to take it offline required that he be insane,  in my opinion. I had a friend who was murdered and her murderer seemed have reasons that seemed to make sense to them at the time.

Crazy is as crazy does.


You would be a LOT happier in lawless Tejas (formerly Texas) where at least 65,70% of big city civilians AND LE residents are "down for whatever" and NOBODY cares either way. As long as the dope gets in and makes it way quickly out across the U.S., all is well.


agree. this was offensive.


allie, that is not a Monk Seal. I'm beginning to question your acuity. Hint: it is an animal famously indigenous to a place he was visiting before he got to Hawaii.


It proves he's a ephebophile, as well as a homosexual. Pederasty is a long standing sub-culture within homosexuality.


Pope Francis doesn't accept them as having any real meaning. He'll pack the Synod with his cronies, push his own agenda and publish another ambiguous Exhortation just like he did the last time.

China won't allow us to use them to our advantage.
We're far better off to deepen ties to Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan.


Overall the Rockies ticket prices are on the low end of the MLB spectrum. I travel to other stadiums often and what we pay in the lower level, in other stadiums your sitting in the upper deck. So it's hard to complain compared to so many others I've visited.


Don't bother Renzetti with pesky details.  Too hard to fathom.  Don't bother her with Liberal Irwin Cotler's complaint.  She and her husband have an agenda to flood Europe with refugees and Middle Eastern immigrants and change the West forever.


BLM has links with left wing activist groups...." birds of a feather fly together" .


It is not the liberal press condemning Trump this time-- the Far Right is blasting him on taking action against Assad and talking regime change-- when there is no evidence that Assad ordered the sarin gas attack. Even Hillary is praising him for his action. It is the far right "America First" news sources and conservative radio like Laura Ingraham and Ann Coulter. Ir is the guys on Infowars, zero hedge, and many others. They blame it on liberal democrats in Trump's cabinet led by Democrat Jared Kushner (who is demoting Steve Bannon), Democrat Gary Cohn, Dina Powell-- friend of Huma Abedin and Hillary, Generals McMaster and Masters that are liberal democrats and believers in climate change, and soft on Muslims.


This is a good start, but it's meaningless without enforcement. But what if some texting idiot causes a crash but refuses to turn his phone over to police.  How does that work.
I'd also like to know what the odds are in getting caught even without an accident.  Slim, I bet.


Canada is making specific requests.  US is trying to see everyone's cards and get an agreement while only making broad ultimatums that the only agreements they will make are to the sole benefit of the US.  That's not negotiating, it's an attempt at bullying.


Actually, neither will grab headlines. Americans are more concerned about Oroville Dam and the safety of its citizens downstream than political visitors.


You're kidding, right? Who told you that?


Less transparency and accountability is never a good policy for a public organization. This is a bad plan.


This is so sad. Prayers to the family. I'm glad they are safe and I'm sorry their dog didn't make it. Would love to see a drive set up where we can donate clothes and help this family. Please let us know so our community can help.


How entertaining to listen to the  incessant "Never Trump" MSM's grievance about "Fake News".

The new MSM narrative have now shifted from the deplorable  Sexist, Homophobic, Xenophobic, Islamophobic ... to "Fake News".


This is what passes for civility in BC's world.


Wrong. This was removed as uncivil by Civil Comments and after I said What??? they placed it back in saying they found nothing uncivil about it.

Unless it is shown that LGBTQRSVP people are a distinctly different species of human then I do not understand the reason abnormal sex is celebrated and promoted to such a massive degree. Did we ever hold up people who had sex with their pets as being a class of humans who should have parades celebrating it, flags and posters plastered all over celebrating it, taxpayer money promoting it? WTF is going on here... its sex, nothing else... LGBTQRSVP people are not unique other than having abnormal sex. Its nuts.


It was a nine and a half minute Sun-Sentinel video. And Kelly was NOT talking about Wilson's preamble and post speech posturing. He was talking about her speech. He said "a congresswoman stood up...," and then the lies start coming out of Kelly's mouth. And he ends the litany of lies by saying "And she sat down, and we were stunned. Stunned that she had done it. Even for someone that is that empty a barrel, we were stunned."

Only now, after the video has outed him as a complete liar, all of sudden it is the things that she said off camera and "there were witnesses" according to Sara Huckabee Sanders.

Oh, how convenient.

No, I didn't think Kelly would lie about this or anything else up until two days ago. He seemed to be a sane, steadying influence. Today, we know differently. And it wasn't just one lie or small lies. They were big lies used for an attempted vicious character assassination.

And that disturbs me to the core.  And it should disturb you to the core as well.


Not if we pass new laws that are stronger and stricter.

It is most clear that there is much new legislation for our state legislature to work on, when it comes to the subject of young people and weapons.   And parents who allow their kids to have access to weapons need to be held accountable by the law as well.

The legislature really needs to roll up its sleeves next year, and do more to protect our schools.


Any Anglo that remains in Quebec lacks ambition, ability, and any sense of self-preservation.


What?


It was a guy named Joshua Whittaker, a previous political candidate for a couple of different Assembly seats, he was non-partisan.


Nah, the real money will generated by next week's investigations into the Dems and their collusion with Russia, and while popcorn stocks will indeed go up for that, psychiatric practices, therapy dog and cuddling businesses will exponentially skyrocket as they did after Trump's election.

Better get ready for another massive meltdown T-bone, who are you guys going to blame this one on?

Bush's illegal invasion and occupation  resulting in the military significantly lowering its recruiting and retention standards.


Until there's evidence provided of any kind, Trump is lying.  You may believe that evidence MAY appear, but Trump obviously doesn't have any so his claims are fictional.


It's all about image for the Village Idiot.


Democrats won in Democratic strongholds.  Not sure that's a trend.


Although I would not have great sympathy for an MD whose take-home was $500 000 (and to be fair, this is not most MD's take home or anywhere close but yes, some...e.g. plastic surgeons, radiologists do obtain this) your take-home is not $75 000 or you are very bad at doing your taxes.  The highest combined marginal rates in Canada are just over 50% and apply only to income over a high threshold (typically $200 000). Even in a province like Nova Scotia, where the highest marginal rate is very high a person, assuming no deductibles (unlikely), making $150 000 would take home $98 000 of that....Moreover most professionals employed by a hospital or university or government have pretty nice benefits and pension plans that are worth a fair sum...and there are many healthcare bureaucrats making 6-figure salaries - many of them with considerably less than a PHD. I don't begrudge them - many earn it doing important work, but if we are going to point fingers we had best point in all directions.


All I ask is that we get out of the Middle East and out of Europe.


No they hate us just because we are not muslims!

They tell you blind and useful idiots this everyday!


"from Russian side" and without an article. That's what we call politburo speak here in Canada. Isn't there a Putin worship website somewhere that needs your disinformation more than this one?


Too bad the opinion does not recite the methods of CO2 removal planned (other than the reference to plants).


Just another day in Carmerica!


Another racist comment from you


What an odd comment!


Trump is a disgusting human being , and I question the sanity of his supporters. Hillary is no saint, either. This election is indeed about the lesser of two evils. But in this particular case, Trump's evil outweighs Hillary's by several million metric tons.


They are terrorists pure and simple.


Fireworks are not the problem more ppl hurt themselves every year misusing steak knives than do using fireworks we need to stop letting the brain dead among us from setting the rules for the rest of us


Congratulations on this initiative to support women seeking priestly ordination. The male-only priesthood is a consequence of original sin.  It is the religious manifestation of Genesis 3:16.  The patriarchal priesthood of the Old Law was subject to this curse, but the sacramental priesthood of the New Law is ministerial, not patriarchal.  Patriarchal religiosity is a diabolical malignancy that can be healed only by the Holy Spirit.  This is my summary of where we are in the healing process:

They had the sleaze red handed. They had the hit and run kid red handed. Too bad the victims are poor people. There will be no justice in Our Town until we elect a prosecutor who is competent enough, professional enough, and (most importantly) UNBIASED enough to actually do his/her job. It seems an even halfway decent lawyer  runs circles around this crew of amateurs every time. Remember this come election day. We deserve better.

This column was unfortunately marred by the uninformed reference to intersectionality being Marxist.  Totally wrong.


So, why on earth does the Globe and Mail not publish online the graphs contained in the print version? As a university educator, I sometimes use such graphs as teaching tools. The Globe should take a lesson from The Economist, which possibly has the very best online version of its print newspaper: it is quite parallel. If anything, the online version has more material than the print version. With the Globe, it's the other way around--inexplicable, not to mention frustrating! The trends indicated in this article about capitalism in the 21st century are quite relevant and concerning.


After this hotel is demolished, build another hotel with a 50-year warranty. Make it such that demolition is fast, easy, and safe. Trouble is tourists' tastes change every decade, the sea level might rise even higher, Hawaii may get displaced by cheaper destinations like Mexico where pot and hookers are easily available, and Islamics may one day outnumber all of us. Hotels are risky investments. Like marriage.


America and Britain has done a great job of creating millions of terrorists while eliminating only a couple of thousand. Bush and Blair the war criminals and their cohorts in their governments, all of whom walk free today.


Well we all know how unreliable and slanted your personal 'translations' are..

Great, all we need now is simply the security footage from the hotel.


Do you ever offer anything with any substance,  fact or truth ? Or is it always just a bunch of ranting ?


If you want an indicator of the Catholic Chasm in our nation, note that the "National" Catholic Register doesn't even name the American cardinals in their headline...and then read the comments from folks who demean and degrade at least one of the chosen cardinals. Yes, if the "other" Tobin and Chaput had been named, it might cause a similar reaction from the other polar side of the American Catholic spectrum. But it is clear, there is not unbridled enthusiasm at the Register for Francis's choices. And it is clear, there is a gulf...a wide one. And maybe, just maybe, that's not so bad.


Consider how everything about Trump is somehow about Hilary. You'd almost think Trump is Hilary or something.

The executive branch does not define, without limit or constraint, the interests of the state.  The entire US constitution is set up to make any action difficult by requiring alignment by all 3 branches of government.  There is always friction between them and that is by design.  Congress passes legislation, the president vetoes it, then congress over-rides the veto.  Someone takes the new law to the Supreme Court that then rules it illegal.  Those "well-defined functions" result in friction and all of that is by the intent and design of the US constitution.   So if a President signs and executive order (bypassing Congress, a bad precedent set by Obama but now used shamelessly by Trump) and a judge stays it on grounds it is against the law, that is the system.  That is not a conspiracy.  There is no "deep state" except in the minds of some very frustrated Trump supporters.  Trump is not a CEO he is President (and not a wanna-be tyrant).  The rules are different.  apply the rules.


The increase in listings before government's heavy handed intervention happened because they pre-announced it, please don't try to mislead the readers that it was somehow a result of market forces. I see realtors still going door-to-door trying to get listings, even as enough of them already on the market,  promising sky-high prices.. once they get a poor old guy to list, they will try to convince him the sky is falling and sell for less and accept the first offer. It'll all pass in 2-3 months or at most 1 year (see Vancouver, we seem to be tracking 1 year behind them). Good opportunity for buyers to pick up something for less than 2 months ago, but it won't last, as in fact nothing has changed in the long term supply/demand picture in Toronto.


By whom?

Who voted on it?

When did they hold the referendum?

FPTP was actually adopted long before the Dominion of Canada came into being.  There was, and is, almost nothing democratic about that story, either.


You may want to check the requirements of IRC 501 (c) (3).  What save Kamehameha School was the timely intervention of then U.S, Senator Dan Inouye.  He also introduced illegal aliens into the Hawaii fish fleet.  Well the good Senator has passed on. Help is not on the way anymore. Things are going to change under Trump.


QuietAndEffective, Do you have any evidence for that?


Jimmee: "Ford F150 XLT Sport"
..
Do not mention GJ's interpretation of JD Power study that rated Ford at bottom


One of the more common complaints not necessarily beginning with Monsef , but she is part of the group that sees referendum as divisive.The supposition being the referendums are supposed to bring people together, when their purpose is to get a consensus. using that same logic we shouldn't have elections, as it can hardly be said that they bring people together.


Oh and JSB - how about what was happening 10 years ago? that is what I have been referring to and that is not in your link.  You sure need to take a chill pill and learn not to call names when you disagree.  I mean, you sound like your man, tRump.  Childish and combative without a clue.

@ valleyisle57
Choosing a side is bad? Really? Very different ideologies don't you think? If you are in the MIDDLE as you indicate then you still have to go to a side you feel that best suits your or "have the public's best interests in mind" right?
Obviously you chose the Dem side.
I am of and believe in the Conservative/GOP ideology!


china steals technology , is hardly a friend,,,and they treat their workers like fodder.. no we dont and should not just blindly share cultures with them


"What you ignore is that it was kept secret ..the public was not informed, ..."  That's complete nonsense.  Decisions by school boards are matters of public record.  I know that this has gone on for years, and I don't even live in Peel Region.  I've heard discussion of it on the news many times.
In fact, while I'm at it, the Lord's Prayer is not "banned" in schools.  Many schools have Christian clubs (ISCF, Pathfinders, etc.), and on club time, they can pray their teen-aged faces off.  It's simply that the Lord's Prayer is not used in 'official' activities.  The Muslim prayer accommodations are no different.  Muslim students, like Christian students, have the right to gather for prayer any time they want.


I sure hope "blank page" Sajjan isn't mistakenly filling his pockets.


The problem that I have with these individuals crossing the border is that they are coming from the USA. They have already landed in a place that should be a refuge for them if they are indeed refugees seeking asylum. The USA is their first place of entry and they should be processed in the USA. Some of these individuals have been in the USA for a decade and now fear the new rules and procedures installed by the Trump administration. We should maintain our immigration procedures and policies; otherwise we will have problems with an uncontrollable border. The other solution would be to refuse them entry and send them back to the USA.


Medicaid is taking an increasing share of public dollars .. not much left for roads.


Look like it to me. Becket Adams is a idiot.

It was at that point that i turned my back on the establishment and realized how deep in bed they are with alt left.
Hope is was worth it.


charlatan


Nothing new here; just the same old tired anti-gun drumbeat. No logical conclusions drawn. Just stretches of the imagination while trying desperately to support a failed narrative. Something important to note though: constitutional rights outweigh your feelings about them.


Anchorage voters were just disenfranchised.
The good news is that now, no bond proposition will be left behind.
No tax proposal will accidentally get voted down.
Question is what are we going to do about it?


I would have to agree. As a regular international visitor to Hawaii, I was looking forward to the opening. I, too, was impressed by the quality of construction and care for the trees. However, we went for dinner and were very disappointed by the variety and prices on offer. Admittedly many of the restaurants and shops aren't open yet, and it will be another year or so before they are, but we still ended up going elsewhere for dinner. It would seem that the opening date was dictated by head tenant Saks.

I will be interested to see how it looks and works on our next visit. But it will never be the old International Market Place, more's the pity!


"...whose record of serial mis-statement, obfuscation and outright lies is unparalleled since the time of Amor de Cosmos in this province ..."   you are quite given to hyperbole, aren't you? I fear your head will explode once Christy takes the coveted prize on May 9th.  fear not though, there'll be prosperity enough, even for the likes of you.


Hard to say for certain from the brief description, but losing control in a steep turn immediately after takeoff certainly sounds like "stupid pilot tricks".  Interesting to hear that he'd had problems before.


"'..as part of NATO deterrence against Russian aggression..." c???? what in the hell is this guy talking about??? - the Americans, and sockpuppet NATO, have been provoking Russia for years now, lining up heavy military stuff all along Russian borders - and accusing RUSSIA of 'aggression'???? - Alice in Wonderland meets loonytunes land Trump has been talking about putting a stop to this - let's hope he at least tries to tone down the wartalk of the American psychos.


"What actions is the girl supposed to be held to? She was unconscious."

The question here isn't whether SHE could consent, because that was established.  The question is whether HE could.  His friends indicated that he was stumbling, barely coherent, and his recall of the night in question was clearly compromised.

Any fairly applied standard would allow for the possibility that BOTH parties couldn't consent. Either you're not a legal actor or you are a legal actor.  If the standard is applied one way for women, because they are presumed to be the one acted upon,  and another way for men, because they are presumed to be the actors, then it's a firmly subjective standard.

You can't compare a murder, where there's clearly a victim that died, to a sexual act where both parties typically mutually consent and there might not even BE a victim.  You cannot presume her victimhood OR his guilt.


And once again WHO was polled?  Toronto, Vancouver, Victoria and the east coast?


I am beginning to think the RC clergies are the lowest in the spiritual attainments among all religions on the earth!   They seems to be a hypocrite in general holding themselves
above everyone!  They don't even know how ugly they seem to the eyes of lay people!


This is what small government looks like. To be clear, a lot of other Valley neighborhoods are used as drunken playgrounds for idiots. It's really just about attracting and pandering to discourteous people, people who litter and race their ATVs and dirt bikes on residential roads.

Reminds me of the sleazy Anchorageites who successfully lobbied the Assembly to let them throw their drunken parties and take over a small residential lake every weekend, making the actual residents miserable. Those Anchorageites were insufferably self righteous about their entitlement to trash a Valley neighborhood on the weekends with their equally sleazy friends.

The Assembly took the side of the weekenders over the actual residents.

Yahoo MatSu, right?


This board is really striking.

Close to half the posts - and all of the most popular-voted posts - are hurling insults and mockery and pointed judgment at Americans civilians in Houston, picking on their alleged foolishness and wrongheaded views on this, that and the next thing.

Compare that to the posts on past boards about wildfires in British Columbia or ice storms in Quebec, where more than 90 percent of the posts were respectful and sombre, and the less than ten percent that were inflammatory were targeting government and government parties, NOT the layperson citizens living there.

In summary, too many Canadians who are actually parochial, tribalistic bigots somehow nonetheless manage to see themselves as sophisticated and worldly.

It really is an amazing phenomenon, and does not speak well of Canada.


Is quousque your real name?


And I choose to respond to this one, too....

As I read the entire thread again, I have to admit I didn't realize two things....

1). That comments concerning me, comments made about me,  are supposed to be none of my business;

2). That certain comments made to another are private and not part of open discussion.

Glad to see you have decided to talk about me but not with me.  Is that a Christian position or a liberal one?


How do you relate your links to the Schwab rhetoric or the comments on it?


These greedy home owners should donate their homes to the homeless instead of selling them for a profit.  It's unconscionable!  Next thing you know they will want to keep the money they earned instead of giving it to the government to take care of all the unfortunate people in the world!


When I moved to Denver I was shocked to see corn being irrigated in 100-degree heat on the highway from Nebraska. Corn grows well in Pennsylvania which has plenty of water. Why not grow the corn in PA and send it by train to the feedlots near Commerce City?


you have your freedom yes you overcame but you are still a consumer
the problem with incarceration it only ads more fire
and it follows you around even to the point the will not rent to you will not give you a job
 background check,s are here to stay.
we the people
not me the people
human rights
yes there is homeless that are happy to be burden less
and there are some that work to get them a bottle are whatever
they work or panhandle or make there living of what society throws away
they are still consumers just like you
god made many things just imagine if there were, t any bees or worms what kind of world would we have
rent control came up in the early eighties in a public vote it did not pass but know that the oil is drying up and thousands of people are packing up and leaving Alaska the homeless will prevail
i predict Alaska's boom and bust cycle is here and by the time it,s done we are going to loose 100 to 150 thousand people
only the tough will remain


Here we go. Some lawyer with a vested interest trying to heap guilt on an entire country just because of the actions of one psychotic individual. The sad thing is that the government will probably bend over backwards to accommodate his views.


It's Scott's first day on the internet everybody!


Most of the time, I see Bicyclists riding THRU the people in Crosswalks (on a Walk light) While cyclist is Running a RED light. At Hotel and Fort Street Mall. I'd Love to Kick them.


The Taiwanese president called Trump, not the other way around as first reported by CNN.


This attack seems to be a first for the U.S. — the first time the the U.S. has bombed both sides in a war. Trump's jingoistic tough guy act was celebrated by the cable news outlets that inform Trump's world view as if he had just been anointed homecoming king, much as they fawned over Bush's "Mission Accomplished" puppet show. However Trump and his novice foreign affairs team don't fully appreciate that the war in Syria is not a simplistic, binary conflict. It's a multilateral conflict that is lacking a simplistic good-guys-vs-bad-guys framework that Trump might understand. Instead, the players are all bad, and many of the players and their motives are the predicted fallout of the Iraq War (in which Iran was the biggest geopolitical winner). Perhaps the only upside of this mess is that Steve Bannon and the white nationalist fringe seem to have lost some of their White House power.


Thank you for shedding some light on the situation.


"constitutional amendment this week that would block all entities funded by public dollars from making political campaign contributions of more than $500 a year."

"Symbolic gesture"?

Citizen's United (2010) ?

SpeechNow.org v. FEC?

Has anyone in the Oregon Legislature any familiarity with the US Constitution?

 Do they understand that an Oregon Constitutional provision that conflicts with the US Constitution is best used for toilet paper?

Oh.

It's "Rep. Mitch Greenlick, a Portland Democrat"

Those folks don't expect any laws to apply to them.

Grandstanding for the illiterate or ignorant base is all we have from that proposal.


LW1 - You sound like a good person, and your siblings and your community are lucky to have you.

I hope that if a check is returned to you or donated, that you won't be sad or offended. It has nothing to do with whether your sibling loves you, and it's not a rejection of you as a person. Some people feel weird about receiving money, and a lot of people dream of being self-made. Even if they don't accept your gift, they may still appreciate the sentiment.

Another option is perhaps you can ask the siblings what they'd prefer? One may want cash toward a mortgage. Another may want a contribution to a child's college fund. Another may have no needs at all, and then you can ask if they have a charity that's dear to them.


BERNIE SANDERS said best:
"The model the Democrats have followed for the last 10 to 20 years has been an ultimate failure. That’s just the objective evidence. We are taking on a right-wing extremist party whose agenda is opposed time after time,  issue after issue by the vast majority of the American people. Yet we have lost the White House, the U.S. House, the U.S. Senate, almost two-thirds of the governors’ chairs and close to 900 legislative seats all over this country. How can anyone not conclude that the Democratic agenda and approach has been a failure?”


Freeman must have been waiting for an opportunity to use his gun. Who carries a gun in their car?


Why is it that every know-nothing that uses the term "do your research" is always so, so wrong? The VERY DEFINITION of Fascism is "authoritarian RIGHT WING government". So in alternative fact world, did "leftists" magically become far right wing?

Next, try going and checking out the 14 tenants of fascism and tell me how Trump isnt doing the exact same thing. Or how he's NOT conducting a Shock Event to distract from his real intent. How he's NOT sending up trial balloons to test the response of government agencies.


Since Bernie didn't accept the Green Party's presidential nomination when Jill offered it, maybe Jill could entice Al Franken to accept the nomination...the Franken/Stein ticket could be a monster!


The bathroom makes sense, but what's the history behind that Kitchen? It seems like a much more grand structure than would normally be set up for a once a year Sundaes In The Park. I feel like there must be some interesting history behind the architecture of those structures and the pool house. They're all so pretty.


Duh - a group of clerics and theologians??  Yep - but you need to start somewhere.  Why make the perfect the enemy of the good.
Let's see - comments to date from folks who did not even attend this event and so base their nonsense on second or third hand reports - talk about fake news.  Yes, we all know about listening to women, to families, to lay, oh - and there were participants not just clerics/theologians, etc.  Guess what - if you had been at the event, you would have seen some of that going on.
But, give me a break - they started with the ongoing bishop vs. theologian polarization - btw, theological speakers included male/female - some of whom are married with families. This is a FIRST step - so, your nitpicking wastes time and effort - let's talk substantial questions, issues, etc.  Start with the family - thank you Lisa (btw, she is a female theologian).


Its amazing how the Democrats can pass judgement without knowing what it is.  Purely bipartisan.


I think this ruling really demonstrates the difference in how Canadian and Americans approach consumer law.

In the states pretty much anything you sign is binding.

So when these companies work outside of their country they are in for a big surprise... Just look at the EU ruling against Google


Don't you ever get tired of regurgitating the same garbage?  Even animals in the wild know not to regurgitate.


This is what is called a liberal-fascist police state.  Given that the German authorities tried to hide the events of NYE 2015-16 where 1,200 women were raped & molested for five whole days, in collusion with the national media, it does not surprise me that they now want to intimidate everyone into silence, so when this happens again, women will not post what happened to them on facebook, twitter and other sites, which is how it got out in the first place, prompting more victims to come forward out of solidarity and with confidence that they will not be alone.  This is what this measure is about.


I don't understand, if you buy a house that you know is built on a flood plain, and we all know that a river will go in any direction it wants to on a flood plain, don't be soo surprised when the river does.That whole area is built on  a flood plain, it is going to flood and it is going to eat up your property. That probably why you cant get flood insurance.


Geez, if you're going to quote, look it up first:

"Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public."


Kiz, this is pathetic.  CJ is averaging well over 4 ypc, including 5.2 vs the Chiefs.  Also, there's been minimal breakaway runs to skew the average.  Behind this OL, and with no passing game, you really don't see how absurd it is to whine about it?

Booker has looked very good, but WHY are you clamoring for more carries?  Trying to start an RB controversy?!


Your teeth. Carry your teeth.


Parents need to be asked to teach these skills to their children. Why not let parents learn early on, even in pregnancy, what a good home environment can do for children and how to get them ready for school? This program is wonderful, but is likely also very costly, although I am certain it is worth it, especially for children whose parents don't or are unable to help them.


What an abuse of the "crucifix". What a profanity of what love is. A pseudo-pious pomposity of dialogue disruption.


ah that was a very VERY large drone aircraft. Actually I would consider that more of a drone than this one and the others like it. However since we have a simple minded society and press they use the term drone instead of RC craft.  Drones are very large, the one that almost took out the C13o was close to cesna sized..  this one was the size of a very small rc plane.  (roughly 1ftx1ft)


Word is, WP has the contents of the meeting that has not been published yet. Remember how this started? Jr.saying, oh that Lil meeting? Oh, yeah we talked about poor orphans, aawwwhhh..Then WP saying, we have the email string. Then Jr. ,aaahhhh. Then Jr.being transparent. Then WP, ex-russian intelligence in da house. Then Jr. ahhhhhhh...yeah so!  Then,manafort and kushner leaving after 1 hr. Now the security tapes,lol. Also the 8 cellphones on "record" mode. More popcorn please!


Why ? Probably no self respecting successful professional business man/woman would put up with the mostly spoiled brat voters and political three ring circus !
Thus we get to elect the wanna-bes ....


I am sure that John Bowlen is looking to cash out before the full effect of the CTE issue lands on the league. Throw in the effect of the recent political controversy on the NFL and I'd be looking to cash out too. But I doubt there will be much demand for a one third ownership stake with no management or voting rights. Certainly not at 1/3 of the valuation of $2.4 billion. I suspect that once Pat passes the rest of the family will be looking to sell. The will as described is a path to decades long litigation. I suspect most of the kids would rather have a couple hundred million cash than a 8% interest in the Broncos.

The economics of pro sports are likely to change dramatically within a decade as the remains of network TV crumble. Networks have overpaid for sports for fifty years (especially the NFL) on the premise that sports brought viewers to the rest of their lineup. That business model is history. ESPN is losing its shirt on its rights deals.


Wow.....so this is what Hawaii Public Schools produce?  Nothing but vegetables?


Are you named after your pointy tinfoil hat?


"The Shank" was a cool dude.  Gonna miss you bro.  C ya when I C ya.


This story is about three people you obviously don't like or agree with and you are questioning Trump's judgement in inviting them.  For you to suggest a former KKK member be invited next explains that.   You are a pretty smart and well read lady. I don't believe you for one second when you say you don't know about Al Sharpton.  His actions have been covered in the press for a long time . Even a sixth grader knows who he is , and how wrong it was for Obama to give him access to the White House over 30 times. Plus , Obama invited a number of cop haters in the group Black Lives Matters to the White House a number of times .  I'm just saying that liberals had zero problem with them and Sharpton , yet now they question these three ?   It's exactly like liberals screaming and protesting over Bill O"Reilly's claimed words to women , yet none of these same protesters protested Bill Clinton and his long track record of action taking advantage of women , or his access to the WH had Hillary won.


I need to get my hands on those Quanta Cannabis vape pens. I seen it in Drakes and Futures snapstory.


This criminal can thank SB91 for being back on the street and able to commit so many crimes.

Remember those politicians who supported SB91 the next time you go to the voting booth.


Did you read Trump's tax proposal?  In all its detail, it came out to one page (as outlined in NYT).
Obviously, a lot of thought went behind it.


I think perhaps Tim Cestnik could offer some clarification. As far as I can determine the Ontario rate for corporate investment income (prov and fed combined) is 50.17% for CCPCs. This is not much different from the 53% top marginal rate and the corporate rate pertains on the first dollar of investment income. I am not sure I see much difference between the 2 rates. Certainly it is not true that investment income in a CCPC benefits from the 15% rate for Part I (operating income)


It amazes me that even while marijuana is finally being legalized it is still being viewed through the eyes of reefer madness paranoia.  14 Years for selling to a minor?? A store will lose its license for 6 months for selling liquor or cigarettes to a minor but weed will net you over a decade in the slammer>
There is going to be the same battle keeping kids from smoking weed and drinking as there has always been.
This fallacy that there is going to be a dramatic rise in users of pot that needs to be feared. The truth is that after the initial coming out party, the number of pot users will slip right back into approximately the same percentages of society that are currently smoking it.

The idea of not selling pot and weed in the same store is laughable. What is the distance to be between the two? A city block, cab ride? And what about the clear reality that they will eventually end up in the same house regardless.
Glad it happened but the method is madness.


"Okay , where is Russia or Trump in the above paragraph"

Yes, so what's your point.
It's nothing new that all the major and minor players around the globe are up to little good!
What is a first is that allegedly an American player colludes with the Russians to influence an American election.
That's what is "the novelty"!


As a retired CCPC, half my money is in stocks where I eke out my retirement income. Half is in fixed income, where after tax and inflation, I loose money.

Lots of articles on the big crash coming (of course these articles appear every year regardless)  I can't time the market, I would have a high probability of making the wrong choices.

It would be nice at this stage to have a nice fat taxpayer backed pension, and benefits.

I can't figure out why my modest retirement funds are under attack by trudeau/morneau/butts


How mean of the G&B for Andrew Scheer's photo.
But it was my morning laugh!
Seriously though, Mr. Scheer.
You gave Rebel an interview?
Sorry too late to remake first impressions.


Caps were quite lucky...they won the first 30 minutes handily  while Andersen was playing dodgeball. - and they mailed it in after that -The giveaway on the 5th goal had Leaf vomit all over it...but if I am the Caps, I am worried


China is officially secular
========
Chinese or Chinese culture are highly secular. No matter any where Chinese society has the least religion followers (including in Canada), less than 10% of the population (same in Hongkong Taiwan or mainland or ... in Canada).
That why DL is a ridiculous figure to Chinese. God king never sells well to Chinese.


I agreed with her booze taxing as it had not been changed in decades and admired the willingness to go contrary to GOP dogma.  I also supported her selection by her dad in spite of the nepotism smell.  The other candidates were the dregs of Alaskan politics.  But today she cannot stand tall to hold a hearing on the best centrist likely to be nominated for SCOTUS nor condemn Trump.  No guts, no vote.
