Hi Dennis,

You're absolutely right about the smear campaign. I meant, all other things being equal (and obviously having been First Lady, a senator, and  secretary of state is quite distinctive), Hillary is no more dissimulating, corrupt, opportunistic or cynical than a typical pol. She was certainly targeted for being a Democrat married to Bill Clinton, but I think much of the animus toward Hillary is plain old sexism as well. Hillary was a pioneer, especially coming after First Ladies like the catatonic Nancy Reagan and wholly conventional Barbara Bush. One reason I voted for Hillary in the primary was out of disgust with the decades-long character assassination campaign against her. So unfair.

I do think Elizabeth Warren is to to the left of Hillary, more forthright, and far more credible as a critic and reformer of Wall Street. Also, Hillary's term is going to be hellish. We can expect more of the same from the incorrigible GOP, only worse.


Every day is a sad at Fox News.


I think some of the commenters here should take off the Trump caps and don white hoods in his  honor...This is not a SPORTS issue. These are real American citizens trying to survive in a new Trump America. Sooooo sad. Great article!!


Yet another futile attempt to force self-contained RVs into stupidly-expensive run-down RV parks, but all that happens is people drive straight past and take their business to towns that are happy to see them.


Punk @ss!!!


Marijuana is not  hallucinogenic.


Most intelligent people dodge stupid questions.


@Ernie Ha! Good point, calling many "Third-World" is an insult to the Third-World.


if you actually staged the "crime" in order to claim insurance proceeds then you are not a victim.  But if there are many missing items then it is pretty obvious your possessions are missing.

One of the biggest challenges with sex assault is that it often is not visible to an observer and therefore relies on people telling the truth.   Not all people are as truthful as we might wish to assume.


I have a solution for you. Send a check to Juneau for the amount that will make your guilt go away.


Well said!!


Housing and Canada makes me sick. Way to force people into giant mortgages to inflate the economy Poloz / Carney. Just paying more for the exact same asset as before. No extra value. Building costs have not risen. In fact there are millions of unemployed men who can be employed to build the ingredients that go into a home. It's simply land that has bubbled and that is because it hasn't had a recession to make it go back down. If we don't let demand fall for three or four years at least, than why is anyone going to discount their land to sell it? 66% of Canadian homes sales are in BC and Ontario - so Toronto and Van are not just 'two' cities. They are 2/3 of Canada's real estate market. Canada and Australia sell out their kids and they should sue the government for damages. It costs hundreds of thousands to emigrate to other countries or cities, which are thousands of kilometers apart in Canada. The federal and provincial government should be sued it will cost trillions.


This is what I need to know...

Did everyone see the LTTE Bob Lopetrone wrote today...

"State owes Brandt's wife and kids," I also am extremely disgusted and angered by the loss of life not to mention the benefits to this young family. Who in the hell let this individual walk the streets, anyway? Who are the judges or magistrates who let this person walk after having 3 DUIs in one month? Any semi-sane person would understand that this individual should be jailed for the safety of the public."

I agree with him, the judges that allowed this obviously dangerous criminal to walk the streets are responsible for the death of Officer Brandt. If we don't vote them out, they will allow more dangerous criminals to walk the street. 3 DUIs in one month?

Can someone help me figure out the judge(s) responsible for letting him walk? (perp Anthony George Jenkins-Alexie)


Good, this guy and his company are a joke anyways. DaVita needs to be cut off from Medicare reimbursements. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yw_nqzVfxFQ

Erdogan has slowly been transforming Turkey into a right wing Islamic dictatorship, but for better or worse, seems to have the support of much of the population. He just convinciblely won an election. This is a huge setback for democracy in Turkey. Sad.


There isn't really a difference at all really, except socialist programs people like they defend, and then ones they don't like they call Soviet-style communism. Every one of these things I mentioned have been targets of the anti "big-government" crowd, and every one of them redistributes wealth in some way. Every one of them could have been left to capitalism, but we had the foresight to know capitalism wouldn't solve the problem. That is how societies work, we realize that we are all better off with public education, research, and infrastructure. Many of us feel we would be better off if everyone could get the medical help they need when they need it.

Article 1, section 8 of our constitution gives Congress the power to "lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts, and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common defense and general Welfare of the United States." General welfare. That means redistribute wealth and invest in the future. Sometimes it works really well.


Ditto re his comment "Syria is now a client state of Russia". This isn't exactly Breaking News,
the Russians have had a naval base in Syria since 1971 and Syria and Russia have had a Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation since 1980.


"that Bill"...you must be referencing   Slick Willie!


This needs to be kept in the forefront, especially when she comes up for re-election or any subsequent elected position that she may seek. Unfortunately, she's not up for re-election this November.


Stop making sense; you're interfering with the misogyny narrative!


Mitch Buchannon.  So if you were "introduced" to Pirate online you are claiming that you would knowingly and willingly agree to spend time with him in bush Alaska?  If not so why?


Loser..........Trumpism. Seems in most elections the one with the most votes win.


Where do you think the support for funding for science comes from? Not cash hungry business people, but those who are interested in bettering humanity.


Audits only work when the problems found are fixed. Sad to say as we have seen for decades, audits of city and state government find willful and massive problems, years later nothing has been done.

The utter and willful incompetence of city/state government is incredible.


Osama bin Laden used lunatics, crashing jet planes into the World Trade Center, to create chaos in the U.S.

Putin showed much greater finesse, using hackers to put the Trump in the White House.

Monsanto and Dow never really stopped making or promoting the use of Agent Orange and its many poisonous cousins. They just moved their chemical killing from war zones to farms.

I thought we were passed all this but it might make sense to institute some kind of 'Don't ask, don't tell' policy in parliament for elected officials there who either cant or wont play nicely with others with whom they disagree


Eye in the Sky did a good job of showing the competing considerations that ought to determine any military action, those of a civilian government and its political (national and international) concerns, the moral questions of how much collateral damage is appropriate given the opportunities to prevent much larger scale damage, and those of the military who are charged with defending us at the same time that they are restricted by their civilian masters (hopefully).  I am not sure what Middleton wants, but I and others who joined me in the screening we watched, were riveted by the competing needs to act and to hesitate.  Quite possibly increasing the percentage of non-white characters might contribute to a better movie, but I am not clear how; perhaps Middleton would like us to see the perspective of those plotting the suicide bombings and the social and religious underpinnings of their motives to act.


Putting an additional manufacturing tax on top of everything actually makes us more competitive. Seems like a statement you'd hear from a lawyer trained in human rights and socisl justice.

We dont have supply problem really. We are building two houses for every new person. We indeed even build more number of houses than England. Yet our realtors pretend that we have lack of houses......One simple stats. Number of houses in canada 13 million and howmany families including with children, without children, single families is 9.5 million. Yet we have more houses now....We are building almost 200 k new houses every year...Our population growth including the immigration is merely one percent. If you exclude the immigration, we dont have any growth at all....Yet we pretend that we dont have any house here. Our realtors like to sell 600 square feet condo for 500k as if we dont have any land in canada.....NO SUPPLY PROBLEM....only speculation....All the vancouver speculators jumped to gta after bc enacted foreign speculators tax. Now they may be up to ten percent....It surely will impact...Do we need rent control? Yes we do..Why? labor laws are against companies. dont we need?


Quebecers, like Europeans, are "nice" about this because it is enforced there.


The answer is obvious.


Bigots typically spew their sarcasm when other people are wrongfully prosecuted or held in prison longer than the judge ordered, Kyle Craig.  Go get so psycho therapy or just quit visiting this site.  I'm really sick and tired of your bigoted comments.


I couldn't help but think of this last night when a bi-racial little girl showed up on my door step wearing a long blond wig over her dark hair and an Elsa costume.  I wonder if her mother was worried about appropriating Nordic culture?


So, you worked at sixty+/- hours (minimum) a week. For how long? Five years? Because, if you were indebted to the tune of $50,000 at 11% interest, I don't know how you'd live even with that many hours of work and make payments. And, even if you are superman, does the fact one guy can do it mean we want that for our society at large? NO other developed country puts banks ahead of its future leaders, NONE. Do you work in banking, now?
I don't understand your argument: it's okay to make higher ed a business? Make as much as you can from a captive clientele? And it is misleading to claim your situation was the same: tuition has not kept pace with any measure of inflation: it's four, five, six times as much. Why do you intentionally mislead, AAS?
And "unprecedented?" Yes, hell yes. When do you think tuition has increased by these amounts before, for goodness' sake? I'm not attacking you, I'm attacking your misleading and erroneous claims.


Another boondoggle by a foreign country to get the American and Alaska government to build them a road so they can rob the Alaskan resources.
How much of this the state have to put up with? Americans should build a road especially at a time in Alaska when we are laying off people and have big time budget problems. This too smells like a smokescreen to take the attention off of Pebble where still another Canadian company wants to dig and take out more Alaskan gold and resources. Is Alaska and it's people so stupid that they aren't getting the picture. Do we initiate taxes so that we can pay for this robbery?


Measure 98 doesn't ask voters for money, it's the voters instructing that we want to prioritize our graduation rate problem by allocating a small portion of the budget -- it amounts to about $150 million a year. And it comes from dollars the state has forecast for the upcoming 2-year budget cycle. M98 is not asking voters to open their pocketbooks.

OR are you a Trump supporter?

Not much difference these days


http://www.factcheck.org/2008/01/crooked-claims-about-clinton/

The video reminds us of various "documentaries" that proliferated in the early years of Bill Clinton's presidency. "The Mena Coverup," "The Clinton Chronicles" and others accused Clinton of a range of illegal and unethical acts. Like many – we daresay most – of those, this video contains a lot of false, unproven and misleading material. And what it leaves out is often more important than what it tells us.

Paul was a thrice-convicted felon at the time, a fact that wasn't known to the Clintons or aides who were working to set up the gala, according to a lawyer for the Clintons. ("It was missed" by vetters for the campaign, he told us.) In the late 1970s, Paul was convicted of conspiring to defraud the Cuban government of $8.75 million by selling it a nonexistent shipload of coffee beans, and of possession of cocaine with intent to distribute. He served about 40 months in prison.


Obviously, the only way to separate ourselves from the socialist, taxing hoards that are invading Canuckistan is to join with the US.  Salute, President Trump.


Obviously, he is now aware that he does not represent the views of the majority of Canadians and is now trying to save face! Too late Justin, now we know that you care much more about your own personal goals rather than Canada. Since the UN has declared the USA a safe country, no one should be allowed to enter Canada from the US. It's time to secure our borders and if you are not willing to do so, you should resign!


I would take what Mark \Coleridge says with a grain of salt.
His reputation as a narcissist cleric himself  points back to the Australian Newspaper  *The  Age Anglican Ire  at Catholic Bishop's  Abusive Email and judge for yourself, he just didn't count on it being published and you learn more about a person when caught off gurard.


Sad.


I don't really worry about the overall portfolio value but that my monthly income from dividends and interest keeps increasing (up 14% over first 4 months of this year compared to last year).  Just have a diverse selection of dividend paying stocks with some debentures or preferred share thrown in.  When the market goes way down, it is just a good opportunity to buy!


Thank you


A major principle of communications is that what the speaker intends is far less important than what the listener receives. Regardless of what Trump intends (or not - he may just be clueless), If China sees the phone call as a provocation it is a provocation.

As to the "status quo", wasn't Trump elected to upset the status quo?


Watch and weep Wavemaker. Obamas legacy will be nonexistent after Feb 2016.
Besides all the damage he completed in his two terms, it will be like he was never even President.      This will be especially painfull for you I'm sure!....

cmck,
You forgot about the so-called Snohomish Carnegie Educational Center boondoggle where Karen Guzak and her partner Warner Blake want the city taxpayers and water and sewer ratepayers to waste $5.1 million to refurbish the interior of a 4,000 s.f. 1910 building.  That's spending $1275 per SQUARE FOOT.
And that doesn't include the value of land.
This boondoggle ranks up there with the county courthouse fiasco.  $1275 per s.f. is "Taj Mahal" prices.  Only one example of city hall extravagance and wasteful spending we've seen the last 15 years in Snohomish!


Bazil---thanks for the letter...I feel your pain and frustration too. Too much power politics maybe, or perhaps they are saying this but we don't have access to their words...I suspect this is true for some... Without exception the pope has been clear and, while I'm not a Catholic, he seems to be consistent. We don't ask much of our leaders...and when they share their concerns, politics and power intercede. We do hear loud and clear from a few about a few things, but there isn't a morally consistent lesson....yes I would love to see a convocation of leaders condemn war, violence, hate, murder...but I fear they are preaching to the choir. The underworld is still there, louder and clearer.
So please, keep reminding us...we need the help! Ryan


As is so evident in these civil comments when there is no valid argument against the point of the comments all that is left is to criticize the punctuation

The article was fine in substance, but I cringed at the word "rebranding" in the title.  Several weeks ago the Diocesian Vicar for New Vocations the Priesthood visited to encourage more young men to consider the priesthood.  Our pastor said he was here to "market" the priesthood.  That word also alarmed me.  I am quite concerned at the idea everything in the world should be thought of in corporate terms, it's a very impoverished way to look at pretty much anything except an actual business corporation.


Oh dear, let them travel, have good food, cocktails, maybe a round of golf  and some adult entertainment.  After all it is good for business. This years hidden fund is $95,000.  Next year it will be $99,000.  Why bother with a few numbers and such small annual incremental increases.  Have them appropriate $500,00 thousand and not worry about minor details for a few years.  Be done with it.  That sounds fair.  What does CB suggest?  Menor, Fukunaga, Kobayashi and Manahan are off to Seattle to study homelessness. So much to learn, so little time. This should be an annual trip.


Fake new alert!!!

Bush didn't create that recession. It's causes can be laid squarely at the feet of the previous Clinton administration. Clinton relaxed banking and mortgage lending laws specifically with the aim of making it possible for people who would not qualify for a mortgage, to get mortgages. Everything else followed from that.


Your faith is weak Bill G.   I will pray to Gaia that you are struck down by a heavenly heat wave on a walk to Damascus and have a conversion to anthropogenic global warming.

I feel that the audit would show corruption within the states Government collective and should holt all rail activity until the audit is done why make the people suffer paying for rail if corruption is a problem in the government system raising taxes is not a good idea just scrap the rail system and cut losses and move on we all new that this rail was a bad idea thanks to mr mufi and the rest of his constituents for pushing rail onto hawaii they got paid already that's why the state doesn't want to audit


Unlike you I've already read everything you've posted.  Reason I know this is because had you done so, you WOULDN'T have posted 'em out of embarrassment.  I know where the Alley Cat Allies website is too, Boy-Roy.  For now, I'll just expose the one for the cat-nutters' favorite fraudulent TNR veterinarian J. K. Levi, DVM.  In her 2003 University of Central Florida study, she claimed a 66% reduction of her subject population.  Now pay attention, Boy-Roy--here's why you shouldn't stop reading at the abstract (assuming you got that far):

47% of Levi's supposed reduction were feral kittens adopted-out to local households--i.e. she foisted 'em on people hoping they wouldn't just re-dump them as soon as she turned her back.  Problem is this doesn't demonstrate the efficacy of TNR, and only does a poor job of demonstrating efficacy of adoption because there was no follow-up.

I'm sorry your Russian conspiracy theory has crumbled.

Who are you going to blame next for your pathetic loss?

Here is the list of the myriad of pathetic Dem excuses for Hillary's loss, SO FAR-

James Comey, Russia, sexism, the Electoral system, Wikileaks, right wing media, mainstream media, Democrat Party, DNC, voter suppression, misogyny, Citizens United, Netflix, Facebook, white supremacists, Bernie Sanders, suburban women, fake news, bad polling, low info voters, stupid Americans, deplorables...

It's way past time to take a long hard look at your own party, put on your big boy pants, and accept your loss like a man.


btaim, when you take a photo, do you just sit there with your hands clasped? Most people will depending on what the photo represents do the "arms around the friends" thing.
I've had women who've had their hands around my waist and due to movement or rearrangement of the people in the picture have had my okole touched. Does that mean I need to go back and file for assault charges on theses people?


Amen!


I was at Walmart this evening and was tempted by a "Canada True North Strong and Free" tee shirt ......until I saw that it was made in Bangladesh.


So many of you referred to Peyton Manning as a "rent a quarterback".  I bet you wish you had him now as you did when you called him that.  Manning owned the Broncos as a Colt (10-2) record, took the Broncos to two super bowls and won one, and is the best thing the Broncos have had since Elway.


Yup....everything (especially health insurance if you have a preexisting condition).


Agency heads testified under oath they had "moderate" to "high" confidence that the DNC servers were hacked by Russia. (Notice the language...WMD anyone?)   Not one American agency actually looked at the DNC servers.   Fact.    No evidence was ever offered.  Fact.    So please stop spreading fake news.


Once again you prove you don't know what your talking about . Garbage collector's have to have a CDL . To get a CDL you have to pass a written and driving test. There's no way to pass those without an education which is needed to pay the written test . Oh , and you also have to pass a medical test and random drug tests --which would eliminate perhaps 75 percent of young people in today's society .  Having an education opens the doors of life to everyone. Crying wolf every year like the NEA and ASD does by passing out layoff's they KNOW aren't going to happen is dishonest to taxpayers and those getting the notices .The Dispatch working hand in hand with the NEA and ASD to create this false narrative every year like clockwork is shameful.  You can only cry wolf so many times before people stop believing you.  Watch for this same thing to happen next spring.  The only difference may be that the Dispatch may not be around to help the unions and democrats next spring---if we are lucky .


Each man (or, theoretically, at least) woman who becomes President bring with him/her a lifetime of experience, a worldview, a set of knowledge and wisdom, and a set of values.  The Office of President doesn't "erase" the persona of the occupant, it reflects it.

You reference to "Trump the man rather than Trump the President" is wholly illogical. The very problem with "Trump the President" is he is, in fact, "Trump the Man."  As I have often suggested, IMO, Trump the Man, as reflected in every facet of his life, meets the qualifications of a sociopath.  He is now President and, guess what, his actions continue to be consistent with those of Trump the (sociopathic) Man.  It would be foolish to expect anything else.

 It is a cliche', (most cliche's have a large element of turth. that's why they're cliche's) but the best predictor of FUTURE behavior is PAST behavior.  Look at Trump's long and infamous personal, business and now political life. (cont)


I have no doubt Quebec will always remain part of Canada. They have been well taken care of. British Columbia on the other hand I would not be so sure about.


"Teachers only care about themselves."  That is one of the biggest lies I have ever heard!  Many educators have been using their own money to purchase supplies for their students and chose their careers to help build our country.  As classroom size increases and children's needs along with it (behavioral problems, lack of proper nutrition & housing, neglect, abuse, etc.) teaching becomes more and more difficult.  Teachers are one of the least appreciated professions.  Let's look at administrator's pay and benefits, NOT the teachers.


Even though  the old witch will still lead Germany, I am happy she did lose some seats as did the SPD, under the EU demagogue Martin Schulz.

your dream come true, silencing all dissent.


That is no consolation since the Republicans are set to pass an entire slew of laws that are as destructive as they are unAmerican.  If Trump does deport eleven people, are you going to perform their labor that is vital to our national economy?


You have answered your own question. The British never ruled Japan or China. If you want to compare India, do so with Bangladesh, Pakistan, Burma, Yemen, Egypt, Nigeria, Sudan, South Sudan, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana and South Africa.

And you forgot to mention that the world's largest steel company (Arcelormittal) is owned by an Indian named Laxmi Mittal.


The point was that something you posted was not quite accurate: 2/3 as opposed to 3/5. We've all done it a time or two.
What does detract from your post if not your argument, is the venom. Kentucky Derby? Really? That's injecting a lot of horse poop into the discussion.


Why would men put up with divorce rape?  Why would men put up with a legal system that is weighed against them?  Why would men put up with feminist hags?  Men have give up on women because of what what women have become...simple answer.


What changes has Trump made, Kabooby?  Do you have some inside information he's going to do anything he promised to do in order to get elected?


Grootes is a leftie and its easy to pick on "right wing" white politicians in another country.  Another article by Grootes just for the sake of writing an article for DM.


Not to mention that he also attacked the guy.


That is true.  First thing that occurred to me when I first read this story.   Will he kill people next?

He and his friends should be given mental evaluations.  If their mental problems are not dealt with now, the result could be much worse when they are eventually set free.


I don't happen to have a copy of a 1950s era Gun Digest handy.  Perhaps you could provide a link so I can peruse through one.

What am I going to find in one?  You're saying there were no semi-autos on the market during this time?


Raise_in-Chugiak:  ..." We lived through 8 years of Socialism, you will be just fine with 8 years of Conservatism."

Trump is a conservative? Better check on that assumption.  With Trump in office, most Americans do not feel safer, and for many citizens...getting health care taken away by the current president...The USA certainly does not feel great.


If GPS is allowed using the portable units so long as it is programmed before driving, sounds fine.  But what does the law say.  Are portable units totally banned?  or not.  From the description, it is not clear that portable units can be used at all.


How is this "manufactured?" He doesn't deny saying it.
What's manufactured is the establishment GOP outrage. They knew who he was, but they have been embracing backward rubes for so long, now, that the rubes have taken over.
Embrace him! Be proud of what he represents: Racism, women-as-property, and tax cuts for the rich!
Don't worry, Blues. Trump will be whipped by Clinton, but there will be more elections, and there's no shortage of angry old white blow-hards for candidates.

"I'll be there for you."
Trump has made a similar pledge to a wife or two, or three. His pledges mean nothing.


My soul has no empathy for greed and gluttony.  As Mr. Daws, the banker in Mary Poppins said to the boy wanting to feed the birds, "What do have? Fat birds."   These greedy birds got what they deserved.

It's not even religious garb. Nowhere in the Koran are women instructed to wear the veil. It's a cultural thing from Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan, masquerading as religion. And feminist author Phyllis Chesler states that in many cases they wear it because their men demand it. Women may publicly say it's their choice, but according to Chesler they make this statement to avoid domestic violence.


We need a quick solution for those who ask asylum in the US and then do the same in Canada.  Also, there is certainly a way not to let people to cross the border where they want. Somega Europe countries demonstrated it.


NCR.  Has interest in dialogue with Muslims (which is fine), but apparently zero interest in dialogue with conservative Catholics.   Something is wrong with this picture.


Lose, not loose.


Never mind Trump. The Americans will do well over the next 4 years. Canadians need to be concerned about this Liberal government. M-103 is likely the first step towards approving Sharia law in Canada.


Roy Anthony must be a paid snowflake.  He is such a flake, he even "likes" his own comments.


Hi, Dunny.  Days late getting back to you but better late than never...

Re: "Widespread condemnation by Muslims..."  Well, on this page we have lots of snorts and sneers about our leader(s) doing that sort of knee-jerk "It's expected" reaction to mayhem in our midst.

 I'd like to read/see/hear stuff about Muslims on a continual basis. That's part of what I believe Khan is saying. Her community is mostly silent. What are they REALLY thinking, feeling, doing? Are these folks joining Rotary? Are they volunteering in their (wider) communities? They keep a really low profile.  That's OK--lots of us do.  But when our ethnicity/religion is under scrutiny--even suspicion--as it is in this case, the people under the microscopeneed to show and tell. Continuously. Do we hear a radio feature, "Inside the Neighbourhood Mosque"?  Nope. Do we see public service TV spots about "Islam In Canada!"  Nope.  Even get profiles of Home Hardware folks, for Pete's sake. Where's "Hi there! I'm Asif Akram."


Google Yulin Dog Festival and tell me where in Canada it is acceptable to skin an animal alive before eating it.


Not awesome, but at least the Broncos are deep in pass rushers.

Best news since Prince Trudeau started his intership!


HPD reports that much of the violence is directed at native Hawaiians who are loathed for what is perceived as a phony history perpetuated by Hawaiians.  There is an ethnic and racial component to this.   ride the bus a lot and you might be surprised at what Micronesians are saying about the history of Hawaiian slave ownership and the stealing of land in Hawaiin invasions of these islands hundreds of years ago.


More thoughtless destruction by the GOP.  Instead of slowly torturing the ACA to death by cutting out vital parts of it, they should just repeal the whole thing. The people who voted for Trump need to feel the consequences of their stupidity.
What constructive things has Trump accomplished so far?  ZERO. All he and conservatives know how to do is tear down. They're rabid animals leaving death and destruction in their wake. Who in this country feels truly hopeful?


If the shoe had been on the other foot, we can be sure that the Democrats would be poo-pooing the whole idea of voter fraud. Their answer would be  "We won!  You lost, get over it"    And  of course,  they'd still oppose investigating for fraud, but just for different reasons. They truly are a party with something to hide.  They cry that Russia hacked the election but don't want anyone  to investigate? Are they worried what might turn up in a real  investigation?   That's like accusing someone of stealing your car and when the cops show up, you tell them, "Never mind, I don't care. Don't bother, I wanted a new one anyway...ha, ha'


I sure won't watch these leftists disrespect America.  Too bad, I used to like the broncos.

Agreed, Mychal was killed in the World Trade Center attack while assisting others - so were hundreds of others, especially dedicated members of the NYPD and NYFD.  True, Mychal was gay - so what.  Let's put an end to the current canonization craze and all agree that November 1st is the appropriate day to celebrate Mychal and the millions of others who have been good and faithful servants of God.

Mr. Johnson--As of 2010 some 70% of firefighters in America were volunteers.  That has nothing to do with this conversation.

Everyone should be concerned with the plight of people whose medical costs are out of control.  We should focus on solving their problem, not creating one for the 85% of people who currently have private health insurance.


I am greatly concerned as to why the Pope never responded to Burke's several questions.  He, the Pope, is impressed with dialogue so why not answer Burke's questions.  Dialogue with him.


Totally agree, that way the people will have healthy lungs as they freeze to death in the dark.


Nice unprovable conspiracy theory there sparky.  The problem is that at least Clinton AND Obama respect our veterans and soldiers.  Trump does not.  Period.  He doesn't understand public service at ANY level, much less the real sacrifices by our military.


"The House’s plan also restructured the open-ended funding of Medicaid to a per-capita cap scheme, where states receive a capped amount of funding each year per enrollee, and could choose to receive the funding up front in block grants. That Medicaid restructuring increased yearly funding by the medical Consumer Price Index plus 1 percent, a measure designed to keep per-capita caps roughly in line with inflation in the industry, but one that would also underfund Medicaid over time, leading to a growing gap between the number of patients who would be eligible under current guidelines, and the funds available to pay for their care.
Several independent analyses have concluded that this funding structure would lead to large-scale shortfalls in every state, which would need to be closed by reducing enrollment or benefits, and cutting capacity to respond to disasters and public-health crises. Those affected most would be poor children, people with mental-health issues, and disabled people."


And this from the father of the progressive sexual revolution!  lol


That reminds me of my first winter here, when I told some old, crusty sourdough it was going to snow that night.  He had a few choice words for me after he found out that I'd only lived here 6 months or so.  Anyway, there was a foot of snow the next morning!


Nets mr. chicken.


We already have more than enough political pork barrels - e.g. Western Economic Diversification, Atlantic Opportunities, etc.  Surely there is enough loose cash in those to fund the PM's pet projects.


How can anyone consider such a volatile commodity as currency?


these judges are only appointed, so they can be removed.
Get them out before you have another 9/11. Now call this

  Of course the globe has not the stones to censor so they
now want the poster to do it for them. They are still
responsible, even that way.


The type of long term sexual exploitation Evans practiced doesn't often result in murder of the victim. Do the math: he abused her for seven years.
The murder/abuse crimes are usually single or serial incidents...grab the kid, do the deed, kill the kid...move on to the next one if you're not caught.


Exactly. Trump exhibits most of the traits of fascism: He asserts that the Fatherland has lost its former glory and is under attack from within and from without. He scapegoats racial, ethnic and religious minorities. He proposes to keep people out and throw people out based on ethnic and religious considerations. He taps into fear and stokes hate. He mocks the disabled, attacks minorities and ridicules women. He offers not so much a program or a policy, but simply himself, the Great White Savior. He shows little understanding of how democratic institutions work and he demonstrates no inclination to work within them.
But the United States in 2016 is not Germany in the 1930s.  Our institutions are stronger, our democracy more secure. We will survive the Trump presidency, but given his contempt for our system and institutions of government, and his corruption, incompetence and instability, the Trump presidency will be the most serious test of constitutional government since the Civil War.


I'll even further your education on slavery. Anthony Johnson was the first Slave owner in British America (yes before the USA). Anthony went to court and won to keep John Casor as property for life. Thereby allowing / starting slavery in America.

Did I mention Anthony Johnson was black??? And so was John Casor...? Hmmmm didn't see that on CNN


Hay good going jack ass. It's Jonny come latelys like your self that can't appreciate a place for what it is.
So you have to share it with everyone else instead of keeping the majesty of the place for those who would find it on there own. And actually deserve it.
Good job ****hole.
Hope I don't see you up there.


Although this is quite an emotive subjective article, if the allegations are true then it does show callousness on the part of the owners and the department. I'm I'm sure there is another side to the story that will shed more light on it.

Most kids have the same view of our current president as their parents, what they see and hear on our local news TV stations, what they witness in politically motivated news casts, politically motivated teachers and university professors, etc.

So, it is what it is...a lot of our kids grow up as clones of their parents and will voice their parents thinking that is pounded into their heads by daily dinner conversations...left or right rhetoric.  There is nothing that Mililani teachers can do...maybe some of them try to be neutral, but, their true beliefs will show up in what they use a teaching tools and their own interjections into their discussions with their students.

Discussing stuff like race, Charlottesville, DACA, immigration issues, our presidents character, etc. is dangerous because no one can truely remain neutral.

You're right: maybe Karmen Willis, the teenager shot while trespassing on Ludwig's commune, actually committed suicide. Or maybe the RCMP shot her.

So for the record, do you believe Ludwig bombed AEC sites, or not?

The real issue is the damage done to the incentive to take risks, to challenge the big players in order to bring better prices and service to consumers.
Big L Liberals are about big corporate dominance that feeds their need to feel in control.  They'd rather funnel money to Bombardier and to Morneau Shepell, than incentivize the small business segment that creates 75% of new jobs and competition for big corporate players.
They're talking about incorporated professionals to fuel average voter resentment against above average earners, but what they are doing is building Venezuela.


@Greenleaf2 I don't think middleman said the climate isn't changing, which would be ludicrous since the climate has been changing from warm to cold and back again throughout history.
The question is whether today's changes are really different from the previous cycles due to human activity and the answer is still we don't know.


I like his energy.  I like what he had to say.  It seemed like Helfrich could only communicate with short choppy sentences.  Maybe Taggart will hold his players accountable before they get in trouble.

Fact #2. The 'civilized nation poisoning this group of people' is the native peoples' poisoning themselves with alcohol from the village store, one of which is operated by Bethel Native Corp. Unless you don't want to call Alaska Natives 'civilized'. I suppose then you could try blaming the alcohol issues, now rearing their ugly head(s), on 'da ebul White Debbul', where it seems to land far too often. In fact, the blame is squarely on those who are drinking and the owners/operators of the stores, both of which are apparently native owned or operated by, and employ large numbers of native peoples.

It's no surprise that the 'legal' stores are now operating as a staging ground for alcohol-fueled disruptions and violence. This was warned about, and ignored, by people in Bethel who wanted to drink and to hell with the surrounding areas. Big noise was made about how 'Bethel was maturing' and 'prohibition was lifting'. Now we get to see the results.


Dude, you gotta pay the girl!


Jesus died for all sinners and if homosexuality is a sin, they must be included.My views might be different than other Christians although I do not think homosexuality is natural, but for me to be heterosexual does not make me a judge on right or wrong. However the Bible says it is a sin, but what I know from God is that he has a lot of mercy for sinners. The Israelite's could for instance not eat certain foods like camel or pork. Pork because of what pigs eat and quick decay.Camels because they gave hair for clothing and transport over the dessert.Unfortunately a lot of diseases  can spread through homosexuality and that might be a reason to be called a sin.Christians generally believe that God will punish you if you sin.God do not micro manage us as we all have a free will to do what we like.If we skip a traffic light, chances are good that we would be involved in an accident.That is natural law kicking in and not God.All sins in the Bible involves are things that hurt other people.

No they aren't "efficient". An internal combustion engine is, at best, 25% efficient. It's just been a cheaper fuel. Google it.
 Yes there is a "footprint" to manufacture PV and EV's, but the pollution they remove, far exceeds the one one required to create them. Google that too.
 Renewables won't replace petroleum. It'll be needed for manufacturing for a long time to come.
But renewables are quickly overtaking fossil fuels cost wise.

Waterfront, I gave you "thumbs up", but the CHRT would support discrimination against whites.


All very true - bets comment of the day.


What is typical deflection is pretending "more laws" is the answer. We have countless laws on the books now, prohibiting everything from assault to murder, from theft to vandalism, from adultery to sodomy, regulating alcohol to drugs, and more laws and regulations directed at guns than a person can count.  None of those do one whit of good at stopping someone who is intent on disregarding it. They only come into play after the fact. I challenge you to name a single law that will be widely complied with and will control what it is meant to do if someone is inclined to disregard it.


Of course, a writer living on the Hobbema reserve can attend the University of Alberta gratis, totally funded by the federal government, take a BA in Creative Writing, and publish his or her own books about the tribal history and directly rebut these aging white writers with a competitive product in the marketplace. It's not like academic positions, writing, and publishing fiction involving reserve life are restricted to only those two writers in the province.

For once I agree with most of what you say, and sweet that it so nicely supports what I said above.

When it took down the Hussein regime, the US didn't destroy a Sunni government. They destroyed a Ba'athist government, which happened to have many Sunnis in it. (The Saudis hate Ba'athists almost as much as they hate Shi-ites.) Having parachuted democracy into Iraq, the USA has no choice but to work with the Shi-ite controlled government of Iraq, which in turn is aligned with Iran. Given its 'druthers the US would much prefer that Sunnis ran Iraq. Second best is that the US can use the Sunnis to keep the Iraqi Shi-ites from acting in total concert with Iran.

IMO, if Islamic State hadn't turned so extremist the US would've happily let them remain in NE Iraq and push the Syrian government into the Mediterranean. But IS turned to extremism, attacking the Kurds and European allies as well. It took a long time, but eventually the US had to act against them.

He met with Obama right before the ruling.  He graduated in the same class as Obama.  He is no doubt under the influence of Obama's "Deep State" and a puppet in this drama.  Obama used Hawaii. Hell, Obama couldn't not move out of Hawaii fast enough when it was time to start his career.  He became a Chicagoan, remember?  He wanted nothing to do with Hawaii.  Unless and until it suits his manipulation.  Pathetic, Hawaii, pathetic.  May it be undone quickly, and may this misguided judge be out of work very soon.

Couldn't agree more. The cons have been laying the groundwork for this divisiveness and un-American attitudes for YEARS and YEARS with their fake news platforms, ever since Ronnie Raygun's crew dismantled the Fairness Doctrine. Before that, they were consigned to John Bircher pamphlets and the like.

This president* didn't create this situation; he's the most obvious symptom of the disease, though. He even looks like and acts like the typical Faux consumer - even down to the same age of that demo.

So what really takes place there?  It is a place where one can adopt a pet.  We have adopted multiple dogs from there over the years.  I don't believe they put down many dogs at least that was the case back when we first adopted.  Cats though are a different matter there are just far too many of them.  What is the solution if you don't put them down?  Probably can't build enough cages fast enough to house them all.


They don’t give a damn about college kids trying to get ahead in life.

Trump’s budget would cut the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program, which would hurt middle-class and low-income kids who study to become public health doctors, or public interest lawyers, or do other good works.


It took a few years for some folks to use seatbelts back in the day, but they eventually bought in.

It humbles me to read of someone who faced such adversity in life and did not give up hope. I cannot fathom what it would be like to become paralyzed from the shoulders down at the tender age of 12. At any age, for that matter.


What do people hate about these safe drug consumption sites? That saving these people from overdosing or being abused on the street while vulnerable is ethical and compassionate? That providing them with clean needles and keeping dirty needles off the streets reduces our tax-dollars being used to pay for their high medical bills and HIV treatments? That it keeps their drug use indoors and away from the eyes of our children? Or maybe that it encourages them to meet with professionals and get help for their addictions? Honestly, these safe sites benefit everyone.


Property crime has a lower priority with both the PD and the DA.  Doh!


It is a true shame that Trudeau and crew are so quick to give away millions to foreign nations, while consistently turning their backs on Canadians right here at home. What about some support for the veterans? Liberals were happy to collect taxes from them. How about giving them support in return?

Liberals, once again, disgust me.

Vote Conservative.


So 9,616 dying by firearm is still okay in your book?  Cars are a vital part of our society and a hell of a lot safer than they used to be back in the day, I don't think the same case can be pled for guns.


Politics is always about "real reasons" and "publicly stated reasons".  Nixon was impeached (supposedly) for deleting white house tapes.  The real reason was probably because of the "Kent State Massacre".  Though he wasn't directly responsible, the public associated him with the event since his military policies were the underlying cause of the event.


No, what's "absurd" is your ludicrous estimation that the profoundly meaningful and singular life and ministry of God's son, Jesus Christ is equivalent to empty Pagan festivities which celebrate a chocolate-bearing rabbit and a fat man who flies a reindeer-powered sleigh. Uneducated thinking such as yours is what's leading the Western world into decline.


These lunatics are now out in the open since Trumps election. Trump people will try to tell you crimes are committed mainly by Hispanics so lets deport them. Well what do you have to say boutguys like this?

At present the Liberals are leaderless and would have a difficult time forming an effective government even if that opportunity had presented itself.  With Dr. Plecas in the Speakers chair, it seems likely that the NDP will govern with the support of the Greens for four years.

Will the NDP continue to govern with the hubris of smug self-righteousness ideologues just like they have in the past?

Probably.  Four years of NDP damage - like cancelling major projects across BC, taking on 3 or 4 billion debt by assuming the costs of bridges that now have no tolls - as they have done in only 3 months, will be enough to convince the voters that the NDP are a recipe for economic disaster.

At least they now have sufficient rope to hang themselves.


That's pretty darn stark, Shane.

So, by the time my son hits adulthood where he *might* get a program at a university where there's more male professors than female, he'll have endured 18 years of a system where he's overwhelmingly likely to have a female teacher in his prime formative years (84%) and quite likely to have had a female teacher in High School (59%).  Given that we've measured repeated marking bias and disciplinary bias in female teachers in favour of female students, and have a growing body of evidence showing that boys and girls learn very differently, and female teachers preference female modes of learning ... why would this make anyone with a son happy?

What role does having this heavy of a sex bias in early teaching play in the fact we're graduating considerably more female university students than male, these days?


This has really turned in to a circus !!! This people are getting "PAID" good money and they can't even put a grocery list together . Such a shame our representatives are so incompetent.


I heard Alex Anthopolous on the Fan590 last week before the start of the World Series. The Dodgers are heavy into Trackman ( velocity, tons of metrics).
They know exactly the spin rates of every pitcher they send out and what their batters face. What I’m saying is that the third time a Dodger pitcher faces an Astro, the Astro hitter knows what’s coming.

Arpaio did not properly investigate over 400 sexual assault cases, with many involving children.  Why did Joe protect rapists and pedophiles?  How can Trump call him a Patriot?  This is grotesque.  America has failed yet again.


Thank goodness Gabbard listened to her constituents and not these two rich guys from out of town.


I laugh when I hear them call the Albertan PCs "socialists". These guys are so clueless.


Being minority elected makes you a significant asterisk.


The Grifter and Liar in Chief showed during the campaign that he was ignorant. And the ignorants elected him! And now, every time he opens his mouth, he proves it. Brace yourselves for a very, very rough ride.


But it's now not a ban, it's extreme vetting....lol, from an orange extremist.  Spicer foisted by his own petard was funny to watch.


I am truly encouraged by the article, especially the bit about the left wing vote being divided and the PCs being the net beneficiary. The time for fluff, appearance and extreme ideology is over; nice while it lasted. As a minority from South Asia and a professional who has had to earn every cent without Government handouts I have seen how the Canadian political parties over the past 40 years have been vying with each other to "re-distribute" wealth, i.e., take money from the private sector and give to the public sector and various other grievance bearers. I dont give a damn about turbans/kirpans/niqabs etc; I am more concerned about the policies of the wearer of these garments. I wish the mindless followers of these "charismatic" leaders would do the same.


That conclusion only makes sense if one is so homophobic that they attribute all evil to homosexuality.  The comment to which I responded involved the physical abuse of children by men including Benedict 16's brother.  Being unable to understand one should not abuse a child is a demonstration of a lack of basic morality.  Converting the discussion to an attack on a group of people is a demonstration of bigotry.  And an excellent reminder of the value of the mute feature.


Isn't it strange how that works with the Repubes too?


That would be good. I wouldn't mind if my own properties declined in value. But it would create some investment opportunities too.


Like EVERY OTHER ecumenical council, Vatican II is magisterial.  Paul said that the emphasis of the council was pastoral, but, as every true Catholic knows, Vatican II's teachings are fully part of the magisterium.

You don't like some of what Vatican II taught. Too bad. It remains the official teachings of the Catholic Church.


How much do you "Know" about schizophrenics ? And nowhere did I say "all" did I ? If you would back off the stereotyping you might see just a little bit of wisdom in what I am saying. And any time the government has a monopoly on anything (like Mental Illness) I am immediately suspect of it. You suspect a lot of things about me, and evidently others, but you are not clairvoyant and most certainly not as wise that you have convinced yourself you are.


Having dealt with many tyranical fed govt agencies that really do nothing but say no and pass continous red tape regulations I would suggest starting with the Dept of Interior-all of it- BLM, US Parks service, Forest service, then the EPA and USACE. Don't fire them, let them struggle with not being able to make a living like they have done to the private sector trying to develop resources. Let them quit and try to go get a job in the real world.

They aren't adopted. The babies are born, and immediately conservatives start complaining about the burden on society and poor life decisions. Conservatives don't give a darn after the babies are born.


I find it very distracting and irrelevant to pepper your prose with the label "liberals" and "conservatives." State your case and let it be accepted and rejected on its on merits - not bias.


Anyone without a compass would leave almost anything.  These issues have been addressed with the OCF board and the people at the campground (who we assume are the main perpetrators) numerous times.  However, the problems remain.  Regardless of whose responsibility it is, it becomes our problem.

Once again, the area is just not suitable for an event this large and as long as they are allowed to expand, they will.  That is the problem.

While I cannot comment on MG's circumstances but I've had to go through a scanner/pat down that the TSA didn't have in Anchorage for the last sixteen years.  Maybe the last eight or so.  I didn't have to worry about any electronics except for my camera film to be exposed/damaged and now I have to deal with separate inspection most important at border entry points where CBP/TSA can and have asked to see it powered up (and possibly request unlocked).  Also, the TSA wasn't much of a presence in train stations until the last few years as well.
Every time I stand in one of those scanners and cross my hands above my head I recall Franklin's words (paraphrase due to limit), "Those who trade liberty for security deserve neither."  The terrorists won when they significantly changed not only how we enjoy our liberties, like commercial airlines, but also how we think about them.

I, for one, approve of the new Comments evaluation matrix.  It is a good spectrum of  "reactions".


Heh-heh.  I noticed he picked on the easy targets this time (Bombardier and GM) rather than agricultural supply management.  Maybe that old dog can learn a new trick or two!


You can’t quit me.
What you said and what Trump said are just words. No actual action. Did you read the article?
What action is going to take place?  Go away little child.


If this sniper action is not evidence of a combat kill then I am Peter Pan  .-)

I do find such gratuitous political obfuscation embarrassing and beneath me - but then I would make a very poor politician.

Who cares about the exact gradations of "combat" ? We are there in a military role and not to protect Pink Elephants from being put in harms way.


You are moron and troll and a liar.


All these people saying it's disrespectful to the flag and the troops. Who are you to define others intentions especially when they tell you that is not what their intentions are? This is the biggest issue. Group think. This is what N. Korea does, they force patriotism. We all are uniquely different. Let's not make the flag an idol, ... Definition of idol ...a representation or symbol of an object of worship; broadly :a false god.


Agreed.   By the time rail construction was first built, it was already double in price from what Moofi sold the public on.    Now it's almost quadruple of what Moofi promoted.   And to this day, the mayor and city cannot say how much it will cost to finish rail, but wants a blank check.     Just say no.


James Mason 771, can I give you a couple dozen more "like" stars for this comment?  You are right on the mark with this comment.


closet reverse racist trying to appear politically correct? not buying your post


I agree. I'm not sure it was clear from MSW's essay that he understands the seamless garment to be a metaphor.


The Alberta Party consistently polls around 5%.  The WR & PC together well over 50% together.

Once again we see that Mason just doesn't understand Alberta politics.  Maybe someday the Globe will hire a columnist who actually lives in Alberta.


How much do you want to pay me for the work?


Tell you what.   We will put you in charge of the Ukraine with no money for defense and no support from the US and we will see how long the Ukraine lasts as a separate country.  It is only the strength of the US Military that is keeping some of these countries at bay.
If you think Blue Cross, et al, are so bad, wait until you deal with the incompetents at OHP.   Remember these are some of the 'smart people' that gave us a fully functioning HealthCare exchange and readily determined who was eligible for policies.

Also, I believe that England does push prevention and they are still in crisis.


This letter is spot on.

Property values should be based on sales price plus up to 2 percent a year increase for inflation based on inflation numbers.

It is bad enough that your home gets reassessed annually, but the problem is the assessors are COUNTY employees!  Talk about a conflict of interest - your salary is based in part by the assessments you make.  If you assess a price higher than it's value and all assessors do the same thing - this translates over to your salary and possible salary increases.  Plus, as this letter writer noted, you have to deal with the county to try to get information that it is your right to have.  Don't pay your property taxes - goodbye home.....don't respond to public information requests in a timely manner - nothing happens!

If Island County and Washington state are to continue this bad methodology of taxation - at least the assessors should be an independent entity and contracted out to entities with no connection to the county.


Mike, we are so glad you had the benefits of a CASA!  Thank you for sharing!!


Look closely, and you'll see The Laughing Cow.


Supply management is obsolete in 2017  as it is a protective, preferential, old dairy farmers'club where "grandfathered " protection  is king/queen.  In consequence , Customers pay too much for  milk, cheese and any other dairy product.


One of the most worrisome aspects of this decision is that when you read Trump's speech and his alleged justifications for withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement it's clear he doesn't have a clue what he's talking about. As with so much of what he says, the speech is filled with multiple statements that are blatantly false.  You can't help but worry that if he is this misinformed about something as basic as climate science, then what kind of critical analysis will he use on more complicated problems?

A couple more years of decisions like this and we better all start learning Chinese. If our country refuses to look toward the future, the Chinese have shown that they are very eager to become the world economic leader in low carbon technologies.


More evidence for team Mueller to digest for his investigation.  Trump, Jr. would have been better off just keeping quiet about the whole thing instead of blabbing.  He might have been in panic mode since he is digging himself deeper.


”Canadians rarely exercise or even threaten to exercise hard power. Canadians now hold no value as a commodity and there is no risk if they are harmed. So who will be chosen to be the first victim?”

The logic escapes me. If they have no value, why kidnap them in the first place? That’s the reason Canada doesn’t pay ransoms ... it reduces the risk of kidnaping.

Personally, I have little sympathy for people who travel to high risk areas with no reliable and open central authorities. Why should Canada take heroic efforts - risk the lives of Canadian service personal and tax money that should be directed toward services - to rescue people like this?


One of the issues I have had with discussions on this matters is that there is a common assumption that there are only three choices; the status quo, ranked ballots, and proportional representation. There are MANY other possible choices, all of them should be examined.


It's not "the exact same thing," and if it were as you say, why was it bad then and fine now?


There's no evidence whatsoever anywhere for a god, whether that be the god of an Abrahamic religion or a god from a pantheon such as the Norse, Greek or Hindu gods.  That Creation Ministries make up stuff, employ their lack of imagination and twist facts into fiction to fool people isn't evidence.  And pushing your opinion as a believer onto other people isn't right in my opinion.


Danno it sounds like you are calling for the breakup of the slope "cartel",.. that being the signers of the  "Prudhoe Bay joint-operating-unit agreement"? That`s the governing document concerning development on the leases BP Conoco and Exxon are leasing from the people of Alaska,...a cartel in which none of the three alone or with another partner, ( or the state in say a joint venture with Conoco), are able to drill a foot anywhere on the slope legacy leases without the consent of the other two. Have you grown your retirement beard yet Danno? or is it too hot down in Florida?


Presumably, that guy in the $200k RV has paid in a lot more in taxes to support National Parks then the guy in the beater mini-van. Also, I know a few people who live in their RVs instead of a regular house.


Don't worry, Trump is only holding a 4 to 8 year moving idiots convention between the White House, Trump Hotel in NY, and the Trump golf resorts in NJ and FLA.


The consigleiri (SP?) is also the capo.


The screams of outraged Canadians will break the sound barrier knowing the Liberals pumped more money into Bombardier while it's top execs got nearly a 50% raise.

Yet the article reads US & Korea turn to Diplomacy, again making your argument moot...


CRYBABIES CRYBABIES, CRY ME A RIVER....LMAO!

PREZZY HILLY CLINTY!!!


It's likely that most of the refugees who arrived in the US over the last quarter century have paid more in come taxes than Trump has. Some might consider that Trump is a greater danger to US interests than many of these refugees.


Cynical in Toronto:

Then send him your personal cheque. We want our taxpayers money back, or Liberal blood come 2019


This boy took my father's life! If the shoe was on the other foot and this was your parent that was brutally murdered you would agree that 60 years is more than fair, but at the same token it will never bring my Dad, my mother's husband and or my childrens Grandfather back.


Of course she'll start a family - that way, when immigration authorities finally try to deport her, she can run to all the media, crying that these heartless monsters are about to deport her CANADIAN CITIZEN children!


Sure, keep bending over backward to defend him if you want. Most people can tell a joke when they hear one...


I thought this was a great article written by someone trying to get the feel of this wonderful place.  I was raised here, spent most of my life here, and many of the so called locals still treated me as an outsider - so don't feel bad Tanisha!  I moved away to a much bigger city on the other coast, mainly for the weather, and I am treated more like a local here than I ever was in my own hometown!


This is pointless. There is no law that says he has to release them, it is clear that he won't, and no amount of kvetching will make it happen. Focus instead on the things that matter: impeaching him for real crimes already committed.

It saddens me that activists like to focus on fun, pointless events like these.


Ya I renounced my U.S citizenship too a couple of years ago because that goofball Obama was making a lot of noise about cracking down on international tax cheats. So the IRS made rumblings about looking for Canadians with bank accounts they could put huge fines on and made everybody adhere to the FATCA rules and there's nothing the Canadian government would be able to do. All the reporting and prying they were doing wasn't worth the benefit of keeping the citizenship because I moved to Canada when I was 9. I think I made a mistake. After Obama's brother Justin Turdeau was elected he went about systematically turning the country into a communist state. Carbon taxes, pay your fair share taxes, decreasing TFSA contribution limits $30 billion dollar deficits etc. so much so that there is no incentive to work hard anymore. And then he gives $10 Mill to to Omar Kahdr. This country is going down the drain and I'm thinking the US is looking vetter all the time. But I'm now stuck in a stinkhole


My God a swat team??? Go away and leave the dude alone. He's upset because they are probably doing their clear cutting statics and taking every tree they see down whether it needs to go or not. I had the same problem with MEA years ago. They brought a dam brush hog onto my property to clear the line that ran to my house and I threw them off my property. There wasn't any thing over 2 ft to cut. I called them and said they could hand cut any thing that they thought would be a problem except a very small blue spruce that my dead husband had planted just before he died. It wasn't even near there right of way. They were pissed by now, came back the next morning and cut that tree down and no other. I took my anger out on the boss over the phone. That all  being said this guy just decided to be stupid and use his weapon.


The road to hell is paved with good intentions, and righteous mobs have a lot to answer for.


Hunting, be it for warm- or cold-blooded animals should be only for sustenance.  Hunt and release doesn't make any sense, and it simply isn't that much fun.

Arguing with pete isn't about good arguments.  Its about him punching me and me punching him.  One of these days we will both grow up and make good arguments.  That being said, I do like your reply to pete.


Why not appoint yourself as a judge and just finish the job. Judge judy of the north. Good grief woman calm down you will have a stroke.


Every child should be guaranteed food, clean water, shelter, an education, and health care until they are 17.  They can join the military after that, unless they have other or better options.


What about the MEN. More indigenous MEN are murdered than women yet the GM does not report it!


That is not what is happening at all.  The "state" is not making the kids go to this group, so it is a ridiculous notion that the "state" is deciding what is"right" for the kids.  The kids make the decision to join in the group.  It is the kids deciding what is right for them.  And joining the club helps them....it doesn't endanger them in the least.  Perhaps you can explain why you think it is detrimental to the kid to "leave the parents in the dark"?

I suspect you wouldn't feel the same way if the school didn't tell you that your kid was in the "chess club".  Perhaps that is telling...


I think you are cherry-picking parts of the Faith.  We have always been taught that there is sin.

The sinner is not "worse", but he is damned if he doesn't seek a solution and resolutely goes about amending his life.

The Church's job is to get souls into heaven.  And to do that it needs to set people who have strayed, back on the righteous path.


Because there isn't a problem of religious discrimination over all.  Islamaphobia is a real thing for a disturbingly large part of our society.


Meanwhile, the criminals with stashed money have become, with help from Canadian lawyers and accountants, very adept at evading taxes, hiding the extent of their holdings and intentions - like whether they "wish" to live in a property.

What Canada desperately needs is a full registry of all real estate property. All sales would then be taxed through withholdings at the time of sale. This would end many current tax evading practices.

Those attempting to circumvent this through holding the property in a foreign corporation, would be subject to an annual withholding tax equal to say 10% of the value of the property.

We in Canada hold the "whip hand" on this. The question is whether real estate is for the benefit of all Canadians or only for the speculators


I think the point is that restrictive gun laws don't work, and should be abolished.


The same rebels that Obama has been supporting?  So your hatred of Bush overrides the reality that Obama is also supporting them?  Typical...

And Obama is the one that drew the red line in the sand and then ignored it when they crossed it. It may be too late to do anything now without starting WWIII. Obama stood and watched doing nothing after giving them an ultimatum. Now Russia is enmeshed with the Syrians and has made taking action to save people next to impossible.  Leading from behind isn't working!


Nobody did more to chase away young people from Mass (or Bible study, for that matter) than Traddies as exemplified in the posts by Jay and Trid. It's all right there in their posts, arrogance, condescension, rigidity, and an absolute contempt for the young - unkempt, disrespectful, bad mannered - just a few of the slurs they cast on the young in two short posts.

These same people in real time shot down any youth programmes/initiatives in their parishes, complained about noise, complained about the music the young people  liked. The list is endless.

Bitter people whose lives had passed them by and who secretly detested having been dragged along to Mass, Benediction, Rosaries, Novenas, in an unintelligible language, when THEY were young. And by God, if they were subjected to it - real, eh, Faith - then the next generations should be subjected to it too.

You are spot on, Elag, there are reasons why they continue to hit their heads against a Latin wall. One of them isn't its 'beauty.'


Doubtful. Thiel's a 'contrarian' - which seems to mean doing the opposite of whatever makes sense.


actually they did invest. the major part of the deal was wind and solar farms which have been installed.  Yeah, in 2013 the scope and size was downsized.  I do also question why we subsidize big companies, but that is the way of the world these days.  The companies, from sports teams to Ford know that they can blackmail or bamboozle politicians and citizens into these things.

Yet in the modern history of the NHL no team has ever gone undefeated during the regular season. Apparently, looking average in some games is not an impediment to winning a Stanley Cup. Hold onto the hope.


And people in Parker want to move across the avenue to the newer development, but they just can't afford it.


Everyday is Stupid Day for Putrumpski and President Bannon.  They've been really, really busy putting Bannon's  "Shock and Awe" idiotic EO and Executive Memo starting gate program into effect. But I understand they're taking a little group moron break, after finally realizing that the majority of the country isn't as stupid as Trumpnuts, they see what Putrumpski and Co. are doing and they're not only not impressed, but mad as hell.  So they're busy, busy, busy, trying to find a way to sneak their bullshit past us. Not gonna happen.


A US born, lifelong citizen is detained and asked about his religion? The US constitution has something to say about that -- mainly that it's illegal, wrong! I hope Ali sues over this. Govt agents have to learn that they are not allowed to do this -- and having to lose big in a lawsuit might just teach them a lesson.


Every once in a while I come across an article that's honest & open. It's refreshing to read a story that truly rattles the guilty.
There's a lot left unsaid but that which isn't mentioned is difficult to prove when bullets & lies have obscured the evidence & killed the witnesses. The Sangoma has words put in his mouth & then he dies. It's an urban legend that they always turn the impi invisible & make them bullet proof. Couldn't the liars come up with a better excuse? At high velocity water is slightly less powerful than  bullets depending at which stage the transformation takes place. There's a lot of 'facts' not theories missing from the spin coming from the Government, the Police, Lonmin, S.A. & UK Intelligence & the Inquiry. Justice denied. Stage set for civil war. The seed is truly planted. The perpetrators had a TV camera 'deck' at the only hole in the barbwired enclosure. Typical of a Lonrho psyop for sure. Good work Greg the truth is worth reporting until justice prevails.


Operate at a loss.... just like AMHS.


Nice hit piece. Maybe we should dig into all the people who have ever expressed praise for you and judge you by the worst of them.


Note to headline writer: it "would" NOT be good for Canada. it "could" be good for Canada.


Well.  At least they have the means to get the procedure done at Cedars Sinai in LA.  That facility has waaaay better resources and care than anything we have here.  Twelve hours is a long time to be in surgery.  Good luck Beth.


In most European countries, surrogacy -- either commercial or altruistic -- is illegal, with some countries that permit the payment of expenses specifying that the surrogate mother retains legal right of determination of the child and remains the legal parent. This is true in countries considered liberal (France) and others considered conservative (Italy).  This article could have clarified that surrogacy laws vary from state to state within the US


What about the "cruel and unusual punishment" toward the victims?  Most crimes are committed by choice.
Are you saying these prisoners don't have the capacity to make the right choices?


What I understand from what you say is:
You fight Nazis because you are pro-Jewish.
You believe Nazis are people who declare themselves Nazis.
They are different because they declare themselves different.
Nazi ideology is 'to be different'.
Alt-Right = Nazi.
If people do not respect your right to life, you do not have to respect their right to life.
Modern Nazis have the same doctrine as the original Nazis.

I think that is a fair summary and it has helped me understand many people with the same thinking as you. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thank you.

NOTE: The causes of WWII was not ideological. The Nazi ideology was tolerated and allowed to exist without any objection until 1939. The Americans only found Nazi ideology intolerable after Pearl Harbour - how strange. The Soviets allowed Nazism to exist until 1942. The Swiss, Irish, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedes etc never had any problem with it. The Italians and Japanese joined them. As did the Hungarians and Romanians.


China switches it's purchases of US Corn and Soya to Brazil and Argentina, those two countries move more firmly into China's sphere whilst the US Midwest sees its economy collapse.

Expropriate Ford and GM's businesses in China and watch them both collapse,

Slap 35% tariffs on Chinese exports to the US and watch the Japanese and Taiwanese economies fall into a depression.


moon howler,

  One might think it's in China's interest to have North Korea as a perpetual threat to the West.
  On the other hand, given the West's propensity to engage in various longer and longer wars, scaring its populations into submission with nuclear threats, terrorist threats, and increasingly long  lucrative wars throughout the world, whose interests are being served by not signing a peace treaty to end the war these last 64 years?


OK, let's parse that.  Students currently ARE free to shout down a speaker.  And, yes, sometimes they do.  Therefore by your logic, students are ALSO currently free to shout down professors with whom they disagree.

Yet that's not actually happening.

So it seems you've posed a false equivalence.  But we knew that, didn't we?


Dumb arse student.  No common sense at all.  That goes for the kids that egged him into bringing back a trophy from N.Korea.

I can't believe I just read you posting "having untreated mental illness......(is) a choice for most"    Wow.....one of the characteristics describing conditions of mental illness is the inability to make responsible decisions....and the more mentally ill an individual is, the less likely he/she is to recognize that mental illness.  You also seem to feel we have adequate facilities to meet the needs of the mentally ill, the developmental disabled, the physically disabled, Vets with PTSD, the durg addicted and chronic alcoholics, the abused spouses fleeing from abusive relationships, teenagers fleeing from abusive homes, individuals who have lost their jobs or are underemployed, and other circumstances which have led to homelessness.  Yup, these folks all just "chose" to be homeless and destitute and, if people would just quit giving them spare change, they all be receiving the treatment they need.  I'm amazed that anyone could really believe it's all that simple.......


wouldn't it be more like "MANDAN HUN MANDAN HUN MANDAN HUN"?


Good. Justice prevailed in spite of Barack Hussein Obama's War on the Military. Ssgt. Chamblin shouldn't have been prosecuted in the 1st place.  Semper Fi!


India's economy is probably similar to where China's was 20~30 years ago. We already missed the early bird to get on that train, and are just starting to recognize the fact that by now, we need China more than she needs us. We most definitely should not make the same mistake again.

Jeff, you keep recommending Plantskydd for moose proofing trees. It doesn't work. There was a study done using it on trees in the Point Makenzie area. It proved ineffective. High fencing is the only sure way to protect your trees.


This is the statement that holds the clue to intergeneratinal poverty.  "Of the several causes of descent, there and elsewhere, into the intergenerational transmission of poverty.... Some causes of this remain unclear,".. Oh Really???  The presumption is that once no one was poor and then there was a "descent" into intergenerational poverty.  Instead of looking at the social, political, and economic history of those who suffer from generational poverty, Will compares them to "successful" middle and upper class.  Among "causes ...which remain unclear" would include, I assume, individuals for whom even a highschool diploma might be an intellectual struggle, through no fault of their own.  There was the Vietnam war from which many men did not recover; and a welfare system that for generations demanded there be no "man in the house." Asserting that knowing  which is the  proper spoon for soup as a cure for poverty illustrates the real poverty of the study.


Fox has been going down hill for some time now ....years. Watch One American News.


obviously I struck a nerve.  a little too close for comfort Alceste?


Have to laugh at all the butt hurt liberals, you LOST the last election.  Obama was not a god and did a lot of damage.  President Trump is not a lifelong politician who speaks in PC terms and understands more than Obama ever did.

President Trump is a Leader who will do what is right for the USA.

What percentage of the total healthcare costs are those procedures? I've read a lot of comments on Breitbart like yours. And I see your point. But do those costs add up to more than even 1% of total healthcare costs?


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment

All I hear is a lot of "if this, if that". Again, what specific charges would you file, with probable cause?

This cracks me up, sort of. My account is currently restricted because I didn't vote with the majority.

Your account is currently restricted
Due to your continued biased voting, your account is limited to posting two comments per 24-hour restriction period


As soon as you start talking about how their assembly was unlawful, you are implying that what happened to them was OK.


No, I pay for my own healthcare.


So your basic complaint is that I do not see things the same way that you do. In fact, I do regularly read simply for pleasure, and I see nothing wrong with doing so.


Good thing having a gun in the house kept the family safe.


Well the political left in Canada was opposed to North American Free Trade decades ago, it's just that the Conservatives were in power when the time came to signing. Remember these are agreements for companies, not for people! And remember, we are one of the few countries in the world positioned to be comfortably auto-sustainable, with all our resources, we can get away with not participating, the change would be something, but it's doable especially for a country like Canada. You know many US corporations treat Canada as a job shop, just hire people (frequently not Canadians), and drop them when they are done the project that could be just a couple of years (because market needs change). They take profits out of Canada and don't reinvest for Canadians. So the financial stability and some of the some of the so-called benefits to Canadians of FTA/NAFTA are questionable. People are just afraid of change more than anything else.


Wow. I started looking at Breitbart when Trump put him on the team. It is right leaning, but racist or bigoted, no. Have you ever gone to the site? I starting to think that you haven't done any research. Alt-right is a dog whistle for racist, but you know that. Please keep that in mind before posting opinions that have no basis in fact.


Thanks Craig. Mr. Rodne's failure to take full responsibility for his words or apologize for them made matters even worse.

"A politician’s words reveal less about what he thinks about his subject than what he thinks about his audience." George Will

Boy are we ever learning the truth of George Will's observation in spades.


So very true, Canada can't prevent climate change, and "yes", we should be focusing on efforts to help hunger and peace in he world.

We all still need to get to our jobs and work and most people need a vehicle to do that.


A good piece, sadly it doesn't go far enough in my opinion. After living in Hawaii for 19 years (four of it in the '70's) plus the last 13 years, I've seen 'Aloha' go from something that felt real to what it is today, just a sad excuse of the original meaning. Today 'aloha' as well as 'living in Paradise' are just over used words used to lure tourists or 'buyers' to our islands. Every day it gets worse, 'paradise' is just a word and Aloha has lost it's meaning...


You seem to be unaware that it is the Church itself that says the Church is always in need of reform.
