Come on, fess up.  This comments was a miserably failed attempt at satire, right?  I mean, no one could miss the point this widely without trying to do so.


It's the same stale, static, commercial laden crap, now just higher priced, and counts against your data cap. Still not commercial free, still not dynamic, still the same static stale crap, now costing more!

What innovation!


Jeff,100% agree.  Just let everyone split income.  It's the only fair thing to do.


Suddenly the Seattle Weekly, who had to be shamed into jettisoning Backpage, is concerned about children.


If the feds leave it up to the provinces, how will that not result in the same inequity of access as the abortion situation in law has?

Abortion is not illegal in Canada. It's covered by health legislation. Yet in some provinces and territories, and areas within them, it's impossible to access local legal health care abortions.

If cannabis is not illegal in Canada, and is covered by legislation, what's to stop provinces and territories, and areas within them, from blocking access in the same way?

Anything else, like basic justice, aside, this violates our universality principle.


It is to Ono's credit that he has re-instated the speaking engagement by Furlong.  Political correctness has run amok when all it takes is "an open letter," circulated by a disaffected student to derail a speaking engagement.

We need to be mindful of the words of the author, Salman Rushdie:  "“Nobody has the right to not be offended. That right doesn't exist in any declaration I have ever read.  If you are offended it is your problem, and frankly lots of things offend lots of people."


Minimal disruption, JDart88. That's why it's called a reasonable accommodation.  And yes, it's available to keep students in the public school system - which helps in teaching them about Canada and Canadian values.  That's a good thing, yes?


While according to German intelligence, Iran has violated the treaty 32 time (that they know of), by attempting to buy banned nuclear weapons technology.  Meanwhile, Iran refuses to allow inspections of their military sites where nuclear weapons programs would be taking place at.

So who is moving the world closer to war?  The Iranians, who have serially violated the "deal", or Trump who is refusing to play along with the farce that the Iranians are in compliance?  Or this German minister, who thinks appeasement and wishful thinking is preventing war?  Maybe, he should look to his own country's history, to see how well appeasement works.


They were beaten this week by two pitchers who have lost 28 games.  They are toast.  The gagging sound you hear, it is the Rocks choking on the pressure of a playing in October....


Another check in your daily "snowflake" box!

"The US no longer even grows much food here anymore except some organic farmers!"  Yes, of course.  Tell that to the thousands of farmers in every state that grow our food.  Good grief ... are you just incapable of learning?


Thanks Martha but they have scratched my comment. This paper receives too much funding from the sovereignty fringe.


CNN or the Clinton news network.


Some politicians are capable of learning from experience and mistakes, and it often makes them even better than those who have absolutely no relevant experience to draw from (do I need to name names?)


ScienceDuck, That "THING"  that Bruce Jenner is now should be introduced to "Seda"...............It could be a match made for Movie Rights..............

I certainly agree with you,  ALL the Kardashian's have non-stop drama and serious life problems.  The Kardashian's women's parents never taught them any MORALS...


The monarchy is a useless symbol of self-appointed elitism bounded by greedy claims to be leaders of the 1%ters and other sycophants. That begins to describe Charles, and so the Brits should just eliminate the monarchy after QE2 dies, if not earlier--like right away.
Then they can recover all of the money these 'royals' stole over the years to support their high and mighty lifestyles and spread it out amongst the British People.
They can call it Rexit. We called it the American Revolution.


We need some ninjas on defense.


Some questions for the judge who may as well be wearing a white sheet with eye slits.
http://www.vice.com/en_ca/read/some-questions-for-the-canadian-judge-who-wore-a-make-america-great-again-hat-in-court

Yes, judge, the KKK endorsed Trump and plan marches celebrating his rise to power.  Minorities in the US are reporting being bullied and harassed by Trump supporters. The Atlantic editor's life has been threatened by Trump supporters because he's...wait for it...Jewish.


LOL, what?


Well, with Hilary it wasn't some "word of mouth" story, we all saw here lips moving on the television.

ADN, garbage in-garbage out, as usual.


"How the heck is it legal to funnel public money to a foreign company!?"

Happens all the time. It's the way the world works.  Also, US-based companies, like Boeing, get money flowing from foreign countries into the USA.  Money comes in, money goes out, money comes in, money goes out....etc.


In other words, the hard-left children running the student association had to be forced into following anti-discrimination laws ...
-
hard-left children indeed
if they were Palestinian students I can understand
but as you say probably just "hard-left children"


The real reason is Trudeau couldn't get his Firefly phone to connect.


And if the Republicans find nothing and want to concluded the investigation the Democrats will just go along with that. right? Of course not, the Democrats will not be happy until their get their pound of flesh and we both know that.


Great!


No, Francisco.  John Hobson's example is right on target.

We aren't erasing history.   What we need to do is be sure what we consider historical is properly understood, in all its complexity.  Why are we surprised that what we once glorified is now seen as awful?  We don't throw Christians to the lions any more, do we?  Understanding increases and changes over time.

I don't think you can make one rule about changing names of cities or roads, or whether or not a statue in a public place is appropriate.  A lot of the "if" will be in the story of why the one "honored" is now considered dishonorable, and how bad the story is.  It will also be in changes in the power structures of societies.


Any bets how long until a village poacher nails one.


Words do matter and Mr. Storey deserves to be removed.  I just hope this same standard is applied to Trump.


The parents no doubt raised their son to avoid accepting responsibility for his behavior. I'd agree wholeheartedly that a mean, childish remark or behavior from middle school shouldn't follow one into adulthood, but as this story is written, the parents have shielded Jr from consequences for his actions. Restaurant my burro.


That was because no one wanted Al Gore in the Oval Office, and that also was  Barack Obama  insurance ticket with   Joe Biden as Vice President.       However,  Democrats need to quit obstructing the President,   and see if he can govern.     I have no doubts,  but  they seem to be delusional  about Russians,  when all developed countries  have  intelligence agents,  and facilities, and Space Craft, using Space Communications,  and can intercept,  and  all have hackers  in their countries, whether authorized, military,  or civilian.    Can  fake other countries messages also, just  we  see in USA.    Robo calls,   and phone ID is not accurate anymore..


I think what John assumes is Immigration is indeed an unmitigated good and people just might mis-perceive the benefit.  What government should do is tweak and temper immigration policy to suit the times, based on evidence and foresight.  How many should come in?  What type (family class, economic, refugee), as they all have different needs and costs, but also different moral dimensions.  What is frightening is we speak as though immigration is only good, but bears no costs.  Ignore the realities of real peoples' concerns (unemployment, integration, strain on social services) and then they really will turn to a hard-core populist, like a Trump, to deal with their concerns.


Boo hoo crush NAFTA it brought homelessness and is a scam.  Donald Rocks!!


remorseful: besides your risking arrest and prosecution, some stores will also forward a bill for enforcement costs and admin costs of several hundred dollars. another reason not to succumb to the wrong shoulder whisperer.


Despite bigotry amongst whites on the extreme right,  and within too many Muslim and African American communities the United states remains one of a handful of nations where Jews are safe and may prosper.


You would think this is the LEAST that could be done!  I'll bet it's either a civil rights issue or a cost issue.


And all the scandals since then? That cost tax payers how much, while politicians were doing nothing.
And out of those quoted, 1 person had to resign.  What a track record.


What Sweden does is not the issue. The issue is what Canada does, versus what Canada pretends it stands for.


IRT Robert Holub. Thank you for your service, and I agree 100%. Besides the lantern ceremony, too many of us see Memorial Day as a day to party as the beginning of summer fun. I would like to see Memorial Day observed on May 31, the day that was set aside to honor the great Americans who served.  "Without Memorial Day, there is no other holiday." _ Joe Mantegna


Brah, run spell check before you post.


There are a 1000 acres virtually across the road from Ranchos (Mauka). That are for sale for a thousand dollars and acre. All one piece, old lava flow, unusable for anything else, and south facing. That could easily be tied to the grid (power lines right there). Why don't they do something like that, keep it centralized in stead of chopping it up. Come on HELCO use some of those profits.


Canada: meet Rob Ford version 2.0.


"Father Figure" was by far and away his best...beautiful and haunting...


What?


A report funded and produced by ,gov employees...no bias there.


Belgium is entitled to exercise its rights as an EU member and what right does any other nation have to criticize that? Millions of Europeans agree with Belgium's position.

And why is it that the pro-globalizers treat every perceived setback as the end of the world? They attack their opponents as scaremongers or worse, but then act the same way.


Enough already with the politicization of EVERYTHING. We do not need a bunch of uninformed football players lecturing us on issues they have little to no understanding of. If they want to "protest" they are completely within their right to do so. But they have NO RIGHT to do so during a football game.


Please, Marxism has nothing to do with this racist nonsense you are selling as victimhood.  You and your "uniformed" beliefs are to be pitied.


Well let's see.....he's a Liberal, a visible minority, and he had his own knee-pads.


I, too, have a dash-cam installed, front AND rear-facing.  It's already paid for itself from claims that something was my fault, when it wasn't. But without video proof, it becomes a he-said,she-said issue.  Insurance companies don't care.  Your own carrier simply charges you more, because YOU couldn't prove you're innocent.  I've even switched insurance carriers when they wouldn't agree my video evidence was enough.  Fortunately, the courts agreed with me.
An interesting outcome, is that I think I am driving more carefully WITH the dash-cam.  So it's a win-win for everyone.  Except the ones who get caught being stupid......


i have dual citizen ship i find the US is more patriotic and competitive than Canada.
Canada has a government that is destroying the country and characters like laugher thinks it's funny.
i will continue to see what country caters to my wants and needs.
keep in touch.


Crazy fake equivalency, isnt that from a Johnny Cash song?
Like:  you can pick your friends and you can pick your seat but you can't pick your friends seat in a same sex bathroom.


I have a hard time balancing your Medicare experience against experiences of family members I know (most issues being long (months) wait times) and with the reports that say Medicare is on the road to ruin if Medicare remains as it currently is. Is it not similar to Social Security in that what you paid in has already been spent on someone else, and the equivalent of what you paid in will probably only cover 5 years of your medical needs.
I myself have concerns about Medicare in the future.
I'm glad to hear its working well for you.


When Trump opens his mouth, all kinds of unsubstantiated nonsense drips out, except for the evidence he provides the public with proving he is sexist, racist and relatively uneducated (as far as getting facts straight is concerned).


i worked for them and i would never ever work ever for them again,,too much bullshit drama around a bunch of contradictory premadonna's..Gossip monger. gossip nazis and back stabbing..I Learned always be leary of women and people of the arts.....


And Charlottesville took the headlines away from North Korea.  Which in turn took the headlines away from...


There is also an amazing amount of damage a landlord can do to a property.  Not doing repairs comes to mind and then renting the property while stating "everything works" when it does not.  Try to get a landlord to honor his or her commitments.

Normal wear and tear is just that.  Above it is destruction.

Colorado Law requires properties have working heat.  Many landlords try to skirt around the laws by claiming it's tenants faults.

If you can't stand the heat of being a landlord, sell the property.

Landlords also judge every tenant by the worst tenant they ever had.  In return, we remember the worst landlord we had and judge every landlord by that criteria.

No two landlords are alike just like no two tenants are alike.


TTP is there strictly to advance corporations over citizens in all country's, leaving citizens on the hook for their failures. It bad for the citizens of all countries, I hope this deal crashes, and the public tells the dealers their game is over.


Why wait then for decades????   Why have all these women vs Bill Cosby, Weinstein, and all these other dog males, wait so long to come out and say this?   Why in 2017?   Like why all of  sudden in 2017 do all the statues of people in history have to all of sudden come down????   What is it about this particular year that it is all happening?  Why not 10 years ago or shortly after the fact these occurred?


That is left to be seen since he did not listen or even allow half of our membership any real voice or vote in the last synod.  Remember we females don't count to this pope yet either.  It is impossible to hear any voices from the mouths you have clamped shut.

Just asking how young people feel and then don't give them any voting power on how final documents will be drafted is like leaving a room full of celibate old men the authority to interpret and decide all end documents of rule on what women should do in marriage or when dealing with intimate health issues related to their gender.  Wait a minute - we did that and it failed miserably.
This pope needs to treat women like he treats men and ordain women priests or he proves himself not much of a difference where justice is concerned than past popes and becomes the reason we continue to lose many young people.


Butts may as well run in the next by-election.  Doesn't matter which puppet you make the Minister of Finance at this point anyway.


Kevin, I like you in small doses. PM material, not so much, not diplomatic enough, and viewpoints show no flexibility. How are you going to win the undecided and furthermore how can you maintain good international relations?


Obama enjoyed reading & re-reading "1984".

He loved it so much, that he used it as an instruction manual...


Molefe is the standout SOE board chairman. Honest.


You won because you cheated and worked with the Russians.  That's the problem, now you get it.


You are a class act Sir. Thank You for you service to our State. Our family has benefited from work you've done while in Juneau. Wishing you all the best!


"The provision of healthcare should continue to be provided by the private sector to maintain innovation and competition".
The level payments from the central government will not allow the private sector to maintain innovation and competition, that is the long range problem with single payer. Single payer will work well for the time being because of the infrastructure that has already been purchase and built by the private sector, however the private sector won't be able to continue on that track.


Watching the video of the turbine blades spinning like was off balance, that would be the most likely scenario.   If it was a bird strike, there would be a lot more visible damage.  Even though the turbine blades was spinning off balance and causing a wicked vibration, it was still producing thrust so going to assume the lessor of two evils is to leave the faulty engine on as it was producing consistent life giving thrust cause you never know if you shut down the vibrating engine, the "good" engine might have a problem in the time it takes to get back to an airport to land.  At that point the pilot might end up with no engines working and that would be the worst case scenario.  Seems the vibration was unnerving but consistent and not getting worse.  Also turning off the engine might result in the unbalanced fan blade to behave unexpectedly like possibly change vibration harmonics, possibly destroying the bearing and the whole fan blade seizing up. ...


I am adressing the current FN situation - which is socialist in the sense that the FN have become wards of the Nanny State ! No matter the treaties - the FN are no longer responsible for themselves, live in a culture of dependency without pride of achievement. The playing fields wildly uneven ? Of course - GET OFF THEM and integrate. This does not mean you loose your cultural values - but would gain respect and the pride of self reliance. Absolutely nothing will kill a culture and traditions more surely than living off hand-outs ( even if according to treaty ).


Your first point is short sighted as anyone who wants can brew their own beer or wine but how many do? Less then 10% I would guess, it takes effort and experience to do it well.
Your second point is blatantly racist and should be retracted.


As well after the fall the liberals will be able to point out that the green-ndp coalition voted against they very thing they want, making them look silly. This could work out well for Christie


Of course he didn't miss the point, we all watched it.

(Americans are always rescuing someone and saving lives, even when deploying nuclear weapons)


Again, I like how everyone is pretending that the Obama-era Justice Department rulings still matter.


Well, I suggest you go sign yourself up or encourage a close friend or family member take a shot. Hope it works out for you/them.

The complete lack of compassion, caring, and decency that is echoing in this thread is truly disgusting.  Somebody dies in prison (which has to be one of the worst possible things to go through) and instead of showing some compassion for the unfortunate individual and his truly suffering family, everyone here decides to condemn him as society's worst human or something. (Bury him at the landfill????) Then someone else decides to promote drug legalization and gets verbally bashed and has their criminal history blasted here??? How awful! What you are doing is heartless, lacks any empathy for anyone, and is disrespectful to the deceased. I really hope those involved aren't as cold and shallow as these posts make them seem.  Please take a moment to think about it.  Thank you.


There's this thing called the internet.


I'm sure it was just an oversight by the author to leave out interviewing anyone on the other side of the ledger, like taxpayers stuck paying the bills, or people that can't even use their newfangled healthcare plan because the deductables are sky high.  On top of not doing a damn thing to reverse soaring prices for services.


Well we have our "man" in custody.   However, I am still waiting for the criminal statute he has violated.  We may not like the man, but we have a responsibility in a free society to make sure his behavior has actually been against The Law and not just a political transgression.   There is a difference in a free society.    See Alan Dershowitz.


I very much agree. I get people wanting to experience life, but he has a little child and another on the way. Couldn't this have waited until they were older? Sounds a bit selfish to me. I feel awful for his wife and children.


No here's the questions, why is our federal government and Lisa Murkowski peddling a need for six Arctic ice breakers when we all know that by the time these breakers are built there won't be any ice to break.  These icebreakers are projected to cost at least $1 trillion.


They do have some nerve.  I don't know if we'll ever know if it was caused through negligence but if so, this just makes them look so much worse.


Barnum and Bailey has found a worthy successor in Trump.


FINALLY COMING OUT  WHAT A PERVERT THE SON OF A BITCH IS!


How do you know the criminal Greenlee is a 'wealthy white conservative'? All I gathered from the article is he is white (due to a mug shot).

Some would take the assumption that he is more progressive because he was involved in a grow operation. AS IF IT MATTERS!

I really wish people would stop labeling. The guy is a criminal, he has no wealth (anymore) and he killed someone in cold blood.

It doesn't matter whether you lean right, left, up or down. HE'S A CRIMINAL!

Both sides of the fence are disgusting me with the labeling someone based on their political views. We are a lot more than just what we think politically. Good frickin grief!!!


Hey, Lenny.

You've been dead for nearly 100 years and your Revolution failed big time, man.

"Capitalism rules - Communism drools."

- Rmiller101


We have a larger population to serve and we postponed some of these projects in the past.  We needed this and the voters agreed.

Now we hear the repubs whine about "wasting" money.  When repubs want to give a YUUUGE tax break to the wealthy trumps of our country, the repubs call that "reform".

That is the repub problem - they refuse to do anything for the public good and they want to GIVE money to billionaires.


PCB has been a good community bank for Eugene.  I hope they are able to retain that after the buy-out.


'native americans' are imports, too, just like spaniards, italians, and africans. they came from somewhere, maybe before you and me, but they came. the Jews were given their land. they are a separate and set-apart people.


the lies and bs you spew never ends, there was no voter suppression loser lefty, keep crying nut job!,, ..


For all the people trying to suggest this is about 45 - asking why this is happening now and not under BO - this is NOT new, Kaep has been doing this since pre-season 2016, August.  He started first by sitting then went to kneeling.  Last I checked BO was still president in August 2016.


I think they're all hiding under their beds. Can't say I blame them.

How does a post calling someone "idiot" get passed as civil for hours and hours? What kind of sick dirty favouritism allows such abuse? Who is in charge of this crooked system?


Margaret, it's pretty hard to argue against doing "something different" when "something" remains undefined.  Have you any suggestions?

I am heartened by the British resolve in both London and Manchester to carry on as normally as possible in the face of tragedy -- and sickened by Corbyn making political hay out of it.  He has spoken out against increased surveillance in the past, making him a hypocrite as well as an opportunist.

Terrorism is notoriously difficult to stop.  The cells are loosely organized, if at all, and there is usually little warning that a tragedy is in the works.

Heightened vigilance is, of course, required.  So is prosecution to the full extent of the law for those found plotting attacks.  I don't think even civil libertarians would object to a closer than usual eye on any group known to be hostile to the status quo.

But we must never give in to the temptation to become a police state, intern people based on faith, or act outside of the law.


There are degrees of disbelief. I have found that the Globe is quite reliable on straight reporting (opinion pieces are, of course, another matter) and I have no reason to think that Globe editors or reporters would willfully mislead. I therefore categorize Globe stories as "presumably true, but probably incomplete". The presumption of truth lasts until I am given reason to doubt.


After reading this article I have to say that it is more than misleading and certainly fails on all fronts to address the real problems in the economy. To begin with the LPC failed to budget properly when they decided to make the Child Benefit program tax free. They also fail to realize that yes they cut middle class taxes by 1.5% but then doubled the CPP which makes it a wash. They also increased UI premiums also and therefore if you are middle class and have no children you are behind. How can these politicians generalize with out any real thought. Next we have the training comments which are surprisingly very far off base. Did this govt. not take into account the demographic issues that are in front of their collective faces everyday? They are looking hard at collecting more taxes instead of how they should cut spending. Canadians cannot afford PM Trudeau's constant handouts to the world. We have enough issues right here at home with Vets, seniors, poor and homeless.


And he was elected because the working people of American deserted the Democratic Party in droves just like they did when Reagan was elected. Who really cares what this lefty academic says anyway. You know what they say: Those who can't, teach.

So lets say the roles were reversed and whites were running from a regime somewhere instead of fighting for their country like normal people do trough resistance (history folks- history) and migrated through the snow to a Muslim country called Canada.

Would the Muslim government let in white infidels or .........
You know the answer


No need, just start teaching them their rightful place from day one, and they will buy into it and defend "their honour" and "their faith" themselves.


I hope the TPP gets thrown into
the dumpster all around the world.

If we had smart and strong opposition, they would demand end to this Liberal corruption and call in the RCMP. The question is where is the opposition? Incompetent and corrupt government isn't going to stop itself.


Because all renewable power comes from IPPs, independent power suppliers, not (yet) captured by political cronies and the Zuptas.


It's just eye candy. They turn those off when the officer can be implicated in wrong doing. Oops, my camera must have been disengaged when I feared for my life.


Since Andrew Scheer - an excellent Conservative leadership candidate - was the youngest speaker ever elected by the House and so had for four years the tough task of herding these cats, he would certainly know.

And I laughed with former UK PM David Cameron when during his final PM's Questions he revealed that he had responded to 5500 questions in the House and then joked "I'll leave it to others to determine how many I've answered".

But I must say that in terms of the intelligence, content, quality and relevance of answers to parliamentary questions our current PM has unquestionably reached a new, all time low.

Overall, he is actually even worse than some of his cabinet ministers like Chagger and Monsef and Joy and Sajjan and Gould, etc., etc.

It is so bad, particularly when The Clown Prince rises to recite his lines, that for the first time in over half a century even hopeless political junkies like me cannot sit through an hour of QP.


Exactly...and unless one has deep pockets for attorney services to counter each and every little action by the spiteful custodial parent that evades each previous ruling, one is screwed.


It's possible to talk about more than one thing.....this one happens to be  about literature in schools.


So here comes the first hard push of Denver's merry-go-round of mediocrity.
Trevor Siemian, a seventh-round draft choice three eons ago, is now officially on board with coaching license to kick up his heels and squeal whenever the merry-go-round goes 'round fast enough or too fast.
Yeeha!
On the outside, pulling with all his might, is Mike McCoy, offensive coordinator. His job is to resuscitate a moribund attack that Siemian guided last year. Denver has to overcome a marked proclivity to fail on third-and-short, downs critical to maintaining drives, long or short.
Siemian also has to find a way to incorporate a running attack that disappeared often in 2016-17. CJ Anderson, a Fat Rat, or el fato rato, struggled mightily to score from one yard out in Denver's turnover feast win over host San Francisco, 33-14.
Anderson tried three times to bust over and, on his third attempt, Anderson burst into the end zone. Yawn.
A plodding running attack will doom the Broncos and leave them badly blue.


Lots of comments but no facts to refute that their was a family incident that required Mr. Stewart going to court.  Did the event happen, sounds like it did, did it frighten the two young women, apparently it did so Mr. Stewart there is enough evidence available in the court of public opinion that kind of parenting doesn't allow you to bully your child under any circumstances and it doesn't help you in trying to win an elect to anything.


This is even more odd... Even though that comment shows as "Rejected" on my dashboard, it remains in the thread.  Curiouser and curiouser.


It's only hypocritical if you think that conservative support for free speech means we shouldn't speak out against speech we don't agree with, which is pretty much what Rogan is arguing.  It's such a poor argument that I'm inclined to believe he wrote this column just for the attention.  Fortunately, judging by the number of comments, it didn't work.


None are so blind as they who will not see.


I observed the trial and this news article takes the actual testimonies out of context and excludes testimony and actual evidence in favor of the defendant.  The CPA firm who is the alleged victim confirmed that the four complainants owe $1.7 million.  The sole detective in this case was a former patrol buddy with one of the former partner's husband.  Police favoritism again.


Canada's numbers do look good - thanks to Canada's energy industry despite JT and Carr's attempts to demonize it...


You're not impressing anyone with your [diseased part of the male anatomy] phrase.


Because lying and saying you do not have AIDS when you know you do do...

Not very similar the poor guy's predicament in today's story...


Is there anything here that surprises you. It shouldn't. Everyone, and I include those who call for radical wealth redistribution, try and pay as few taxes as possible. The wealthy amongst us have the means to be more 'sophisticated' in their approach. Such as it is, such as it will always be.


Your nom de plume was martyred in 305 by beheading. Perhaps the choice was accurate; your attitudes seem to reflect a fourth century level of reasoning.


Natives in the Bush like to shoot stuff they aren't supposed to shoot.  Like wood bison on the Y-K Delta.  Or lots of caribou that they don't recover near Hope.  So this is just something more that Natives shouldn't shoot, but will shoot.


I would remind you that Governor Walker submitted a well balanced plan to the legislature back in January that called for wise spending cuts along with revenue enhancements that included cutting the subsidies and tax cuts of SB21, an income/sales tax and increased taxes on mining/fishing/oil along with the PFD cut. The legislature ignored his plan and instead focused on meaningless social issues as the state burned through the savings only in the CBR because of ACES. The legislature is totally AWOL on the budget and couldn't even find the courage to take a vote to over ride the PFD marker thrown down by the Governor. We need a new legislature come November but don't have that option with the Governor so please get out with your friends and neighbors and vote for the changes we all know need to happen in the legislature. Geisel is one of the prime sponsors of SB21 so if you are in her district you know what to do.

Wow! Well thanks for confirming what Liberals really want out of motions like Ms. Khalid's.
Do you not understand the fundamental importance to a democratic, pluralistic society that religion be open for criticism?! Do you think women would have reproductive freedom without it!!
Here's a tip: Try reading some Orwell..."1984" or "Animal Farm" would be a good start for you.


Well, a little dirty advertising campaign against Ben didn't help either.  Have we already forgotten the apologies made?


Obama never balanced any of his budgets!  There is no mathematical block to balancing the budget while reducing marginal tax rates and spending more on the military.  There is however a mathematical block to balancing the budget if we continuing expecting fewer people (less than 50%) to pay for more and more people doing nothing, including their healthcare, food, housing, education, etc.


Someone disagrees. Please correct the facts.


That is a classic false dilemma - a false option logical fallacy.  Vision Zero is not a "political ploy by BEST" nor an "LTD gimmick".
A third alternative is that the existing system does not provide enough safety for pedestrians. As you have noted, "...bikers and pedestrians blindly trust lines painted on the street or traffic/pedestrian lights."  I would not say they "blindly trust" but expect that a green light, a walk sign and a crosswalk means it is safe to cross. Sure, people still need to look both ways, but your accusation that they have "blind trust" blames the pedestrian when they have the right-of-way.
As far as saying, "Until that changes, we’ll probably hear more tragic news.", it is not a "tragedy" if the system is designed without adequate safety. It is a correctable design error  This is why Vision Zero calls it "collisions", not accidents.
I get a sense there is an undercurrent of nefarious motivations by govt. and pedestrian are at fault. Are those your beliefs?


Agree! Any officer out on patrol needs to do whatever they can to make sure they go home safe at tours end. This committee be damned.


Why does the Post run these free real estate ads for overpriced McMansions none of their readers would be eligible to tour let alone buy? Are we supposed to be jealous of the tackiness?

You do have to study the laws,rules of road and pass a test - otherwise known as drivers education - in order to obtain a license. Also - not to be picky - but the primary purpose of a car is transportation, where the primary purpose of a gun is to inflict injury and/or death. Why? Because it's a deadly weapon. See the difference?


Giving people money is always popular.  To the extent that this may help the NDP get elected, it's an effective policy.  In terms of rental affordability. it's useless.  Rents are ultimately based on supply and demand.  Giving every renter an extra $400 just means that every renter can spend another $400 on rent.  This'll get absorbed in rent increases in short order.


Just another sorry excuse of yellow journalism contrived to give the paid disinformation agents a platform for Trump-bashing. Ho-hum and life goes on. There will be more tomorrow.

Auwe. Apologies to Frankenstein.


Yes.  But if the intention of our relationships...the motives for each and every act isn't the love of God, isn't to give glory to God, then they are disordered to that extent.

If our desire for reconciliation is to "feel good"..to "smooth the air" and not to correct ourselves and atone for our failings out of love of God, then our reconciliation..our act of re-union is defective to some extent.

OK, Graves likes Halloween and has accumulated his ghoul's in his garage.  He evidently is  NOT  happy with them by himself, so, his EGO dictates that he invite people over and try to scare them.

Why buy a car from a company that's likely to be belly up before long?  Overpriced with a poor parts supply line and bottlenecks in production.  And from all reports, the latest model isn't that well made.


I know (and tutor) kids whose parents are here illegally. In many cases government aid requests just don't ask about legal status so although the rules state someone must be here legally to get that aid, if you don't check it doesn't matter.


I can see how Neal enjoys his "sleight of hand" metaphor. It can be helpful in explaining legislative gambits. But Neal seems unaware that he is a victim of the earlier sleight of hand. In the dimly lit room, he did not see that McKelvey had swapped out a good bill for a bad, look-alike bill.

Having missed the first deception, he only saw the second deception, as was the magician's intention!

Angus inserted "poison pills" into the bill, features designed to cause the bill's defeat. He did this against the will of the bill's supporters. He expanded the bill beyond restricted use pesticides, added termite treatments, and greatly broadened the class of users who would be impacted.

He was engineering the bill's defeat, but so his colleagues would be blamed. His actions were secretive, hidden. But it the rest of the House who is accused of violating "transparency"? He thought he was being slick. They disagreed.

Neal is a classic victim of the misdirection he writes about here.

The fundamental misconception is that popularity is an important metric in determining the Church's success. The more popular the Church is the more souls it attracts, but if that popularity is at the expense of offering a fraudulent Christianity it diminishes its ability to reveal God truthfully. Mainline protestantism that embraces contraception and female clergy has demonstrated that these things do nothing to prevent shrinking. People embrace religion in a quest to be connected to an eternal constant, something certain and reliable. The more a religion changes it tells people that it does not possess a connection to that eternal constant and they will do just as well without it. Fidelity and constancy have served us well. Change and innovation are on every corner. The local country club can change its rules and reinvent itself as much as it want, we cannot. You hit the nail on the head: we are not a secular organization.

Sounds like the same place that Trump will be building a wall and making Mexico pay for it! Or maybe it's the place were Trump can get the Trump health care plan passed.  Hey but he was able to change the restriction on shooting bears in their dens. Well done donald, I'm sure your son would be proud of that one.


two years ago they started hassling vagrants there and I saw them switch over to the park strip.. the benches there and especially around the skating rink and horsehoe pits are just as "claimed" by the drug users, vagrants, and inebriates. They verbally accost passerby's every day. It will always be a shifting problem until anti-loitering laws are created and enforced (which the ACLU will never allow).


Good decision to increase the number of bid requests in responding to local construction industry. It proves the theory that if more companies compete then the final bid will be lower. Also that the HART estimate was correct.

One station to inspect is just an estimate. Nan could have put out nine designs in a very short time making all the stations very similar and started construction on all stations. HART would have still needed inspectors for the 9 stations. The auditor is wrong.

Note that change orders are low. Each builder has only one station design to optimize and is not worried about making the same changes over nine stations. This might show that more care has been given to each design by each builder so that the changes are minimal or no mistakes 9X.

Given the greater number of inspectors, better engineering value can be done for each change. That means there's something to be gained that's more than something that is lost by each change. So we are improving the design.


There is a big difference between government-paid healthcare (Canada) and government-mandated healthcare (Obamacare). In Canada, you have no choice but to pay taxes and support it. The bill is hidden, and universal coverage means that the young and healthy support the old and sick. In the U.S., people still have to pay their own health care premiums, or pay a penalty. The cost is explicit, made worse by self-selection of those who need care. In addition, there would be an early bump in costs, as people who formerly did not have health care need more immediate care until their health stabilized.

So even if the Tommy Douglas quote was true, the circumstances of its implementation makes it incorrect.

Trump and his election team are on record as being in contact with the Russians, prior to, and after, the 2016 election cycle. It is a fact that Russia deliberately manipulated our election system to have Trump elected. Trump refuses to open his tax records because it will show the money he received from an enemy nation, for his businesses, after his 6 bankruptcies made it impossible for him to get loans from Western banks.

". . . have been transparent only on request."  This is not entirely true, as some requests still have not been honored.  For example, over a year ago, I requested that all testimony be posted on HART's website.  As far as I can tell, that still has not been done, even though HART redesigned their website, and I've asked several times since then to post testimony.


I had orthopedic surgery 4 times in 5 years and never came close to meeting the bar for deducting out of pocket medical expenses.  My income isn't low, but it's not super high; right at median for the region.


Mahalo for the clarification.  I hope that his intentions are truly in the interest of the poor & homeless- this is a problem that plagues every community across the nation.  Many non-profits are highly scrutinized, regardless of the backgrounds of the groups.  That his is quite checkered only makes things more difficult.

Maybe he could earn the trust with my suggestion of taking a loan out on the property and donating the $200k that he had promised- and then paying off the note when the property is sold.

Regardless- I hope that projects like this, which provides living accommodations for those needing help, can be developed.

Oddly enough it was Reagan and Bush (jr.) who were thought to spend the most time away from the office.

Although I agree with Blair that something should be done with May's strategy for a Brexit, much of what he is saying will fall on deaf ears.  May's approach to a Brexit seems to lack a vision or understanding what will be involved in the process and what the future will hold afterward.

Comments from the "Leave" side seem to be almost laughable given that many of their leaders "left" after their successful campaign.  I'm sure they expect this will absolve them of any messiness after Britain really leaves.

The results of the referendum, although decisive, with a 2% difference, was not exactly resounding.   Given the demographics of the results I suspect that they would have been different if it had been held a few years from now.

But as the diplomat said... the bus has left.  There's no turning back on this one.  The challenge people will have is trying to make sure it doesn't turn into a cluster *.


What happened to court challenges when the Bush was in the elected moron!


Yes, the public fell for the scare tactics propaganda flooded upon us by the colluding insurance industry and medical providers, so elected officials were afraid to even utter the words "healthcare reform" again for at least another 15 years.  Insurance companies wanted to rein in provider's greed and control the system, and providers were afraid they wouldn't be millionaires. In those 15 years, the insurance industry took control of our entire healthcare system;  now medical providers are crying boohoo! and trapping us between them and the devil they danced with. (Alaska providers are the worst because they charge outrageously more and refuse to belong to medical insurance networks.) The added costs, stress, fear, and fractured medical care Americans receive now, trapped between our medical providers and insurance companies, is *bad healthcare*. Shame on the medical providers of this country for their participation in tanking healthcare reform efforts in the 1990s.


I read the link, thanks for sharing. Seemed everything she said was correct and backed up by an audio of the event in question. It seems to me General Kelly misrepresented the event.

Trump's huge weakness is that every woman but three hates him. So they trot out columnists like this one to try to convince women that he's not really all that bad. And that they actually don't want the next president to be a woman.

Good luck with that.


Under our Rules, someone who runs as a candidate of another party loses their DPH membership. The person cannot rejoin the party for 3 years. Inspired by Bernie Sanders campaign, Cedric went to our caucus in March to vote for Sanders and was allowed to submit a new membership application. That was probably a technical mistake, but the party erred on the side of inclusion.

This year, Cedric decided to run for office as a Democrat. I think all Green-oriented activists should bring their values into the Democratic Party. They can have a better chance winning election and enacting their ideas as a Dem than as a Green.

Tim is correct. Cedric is not technically a member of the party. But the party did not file a legal challenge by the deadline. Voters of his district chose him to be the Democratic nominee. If elected, I expect the House Majority will treat him as a fellow Democrat. Under these circumstances, what does Todd think the party should do? I think Tim is handling this correctly.


My problem with her is that she winds up the right, much more than she inspires the middle.  Every time she opens her mouth, it gets those on the right wound up, but she doesn't really inspire much from the middle, so it ends up as a net negative for the left.  I would prefer if she just faded away at this point.  The Ds tying themselves to her isn't a winning strategy.

I'm really getting rather tired of the slime approach.
 Dear Conservatives,
If you are unable to come up with actual policy and implementation approaches,  then why are you talking?  As opposition, we, as a nation, expect that you will have intelligent, thoughtful, and, well... intelligent.. ideas to put forward, as alternatives to what the governing party proposes or does.  This inane whining is getting to be painful.  What alternatives do you suggest?  What approaches would be more helpful to the people of Canada?  Do you actually have any ideas?  I haven't heard anything, other than attempts at denigration of various peoples' characters, since the election.  If you have any hope of actually challenging the current status quo, then you had best start finding an approach that sounds less petulant.


You're comparing British upper-class boarding schools with residential schools??? Do you understand that those boarding schools were for the 1%, not for ordinary people? Have you read any Charles Dickens??


As it is now Paul, we have mediocre medical care.  Seeing how the system treats older people especially is eye opening.  Yeah, everything is fine until there is a problem even the slightest non-standard.  Months to schedule specialist consults, months to schedule tests.  It is an illusion that America has excellent health care.  The easy standard problems will be taken care of under pretty much any system.  The harder less common problems are not handled well now and treatment could only improve.  One example of possible radical change is computerization.  Symptoms are symptoms.  A lightly trained person could assist in gauging and interpreting symptoms and feed them together with standard blood tests results into advanced diagnostic computer programs.  The computers would order additional tests if diagnosis is uncertain.  We have the technology to computerize diagnosis now, but the medical industry stands in the way it would cost them money.


colorado, being the dryest state in the country, doesnt have a way to accomodate true power boats and powered recreational water activities.  In wet states chatfield would be considered a fishing pond.  considering all these lakes are drinking water storage, the statehouse should eliminate combustion powered water vehicles from all colorado bodies.


They are all DINOs.


Sounds like a bunch of trumped up charges to be putting on these TEENagers for having pics of there PEERs. I think the reporter for this story is seriously a one sided biased and doesn't balance truth with "fake-facts". Cause I'm today's story these "victims" were vulnerable children/minors/teenies not capable of making cognitive decisions. But when they kill a friend or parent playing with Dads gun, they get charged as a adult having cognitive understanding. At the end of the day, everyone involved are TEENAGERS! But let's not let that stop police who also viewed all these pics (probably the only real adult to do so) from charging them with crimes that send them away for 6 years. And a D.A. who should know better than to pursue such over charging of crimes to teens for teens!

No thanks komrade…


What evidence do you offer to back up your opinion? None at all that I can see. And is there some reason, not evident in your log-on name, why we should assume you have unique, comprehensive knowledge of what it's like to be black in North America today?


It is weird, but I'd rather have someone that can think for his/herself managing the country than a sock puppet being prompted by a Marxist.


To continue in my initial humorous vein, I think that it's a misquote of the KJV version of Matthew 22:24 (No need for auxiliary "Do" in the early seventeenth century) plus an initial dash of equally linguistically dated polytheism. Or is it from the hymn? In which case the answer is that it's a test.


Never met her, don't really follow BC politics and therefore won't comment from a personal standpoint.  I would suggest that starting any conversation with a campaigning politician with "I would never vote for you..." probably wasn't the best opening.  The lady might have gotten a better response with "Excuse me Ms. Clark, may I speak to you regarding an issue which directly affects myself and my family".


Most of these seem like things that could have been pursued without the recent press clippings. Is it normal at the probation office to ignore whether people are following the terms of their probation?

Moral position???? When did an ILLEGAL act become moral? Crossing the border without proper documentation is an ILLEGAL act. Every country has an IMMIGRATION LAWS; you break the law and you get deported/imprisoned.  There are millions who are doing the proper thing and going through the proper way of getting here. Get your moral compass checked before giving your voice.  What the DACA has created is underground human trafficking where juveniles are stuffed into cargo containers with the promise of a better place only to find themselves selling themselves on the streets to survive, while their parents are stuck in their homeland scraping every cent to pay back loan sharks they borrowed the money for the traffickers in order to get their child into the USA ILLEGALLY.


They can pretend that the desert sand in Afghanistan is water.


Had to dig deep for that comment huh?  Crazy talk.


I'm with you on the comparative photos. What I see is are normally developing thickets enlarging as one would expect over a twenty years period. It definitely matters what time of the year the photos were taken and whether it was a dry or wet period. Mature willow and alder thickets such as those shown are really hard for humans to navigate around in but plenty of birds and small animals have no trouble. They and moose further shape the thickets by eating the bark and tender shoots of alders and willows (diamond willow) but this only makes willows and alders grow more than before being munched on. Each thicket is unique and is a microcosm of it's own which we know little about because we rarely hang out in them.


Ultimately this comes down to ignorance and fear.  Who are these people crossing the border?  Are they Americans?  Are they migrants?  Are they refugees?  What law applies here?  I know that they're crossing illegally because if they tried to cross at border crossings, they'd be turned back.  Beyond that, I don't know how the law should be applied, and based on many of the comments here, I'm guessing most people don't know either. Certainly the politicians don't know.

Perhaps if someone had a good idea on how to deal with these people that actually fell within the law and our international agreements, it'd be worth listening to.... but simply getting angry about it accomplishes exactly nothing.  For now, leave them in custody until someone figures out what to do... and calm down.


One is the bag, the other is the nozzle.


Weekly sweeps.


Can a liberal admit white supremacists have the right believe what they do and to assemble? Or is it only allowed for causes they agree with?  That's the question here.

If you say no, you are stifling freedom and a hypocrite.  If you say yes, you are smart enough to know that allowing them to protest/march is NOT equivalent to condoning their actions.  I know this is a hard concept to grasp.


I am also tired of hearing this.  Is he not watching the games when he is on the sideline?


A Liberal agrees with a Chinese Communist Party supporter.
What a surprise...


We're getting a bit off-topic here, but the election was not an election to a state assembly. It was a by-election for the only Montana seat in the federal House of Representatives, vacated by the incumbent to serve in Trump's cabinet. The Republican candidate ran as a Trump ally, while the Democrat ran on defending Obamacare, so there is certainly interest to see how the Trump policies were being received by voters. And therefore the question on health care was relevant.


Yes, we need nuclear like we need Fukushima, 3 Mile and Chernobyl.   Extreme examples, of course, but along with the unsolved (and perhaps, unsolvable) problems of radioactive waste disposal or neutralization, something to be concerned about.


Are you confusing him with the Liberal Finance Minister ???


I understand that they might diverge in their opinion columns, but what I don't understand is how the G&M often fails to run what I consider to be basic news stories  that I have to pick up at the NP or even on Yahoo news in order to be fully aware of what we used to call "current events".


... it is unlikely that they are as inaccurate as the US 2016 election polling.

Any tax is a good idea. The U.S. government needs the money. Have you checked out their deficit situation?


Yes. "A religious submission of the intellect and will" to an authoritarian institution seems to me a betrayal of the distinctive human traits of intellectual curiosity, imagination and reason. No, thank you.


But Donald, you said this was not going to happen under your watch! You promised!!


Interesting. Most of the 'rebuttals' say that there is 'no racism, only populist anger'. You do get special messages.


Sad, sad commentary. Hillary is a BIG Zero, I agree.  Gary Johnson appears dumber than a box of rocks. The Trump is looney tunes.  Again... no one to vote for.


Trump has appointed Rudy Giuliani as his cybersecurity adviser. Lets review what has been analysed about the company's website,  security as of January 12th, 2017:

- The site has an expired SSL certificate.
- It does not require https connections

The height of revenge based narcissistic passive aggression. I hope she works in hospice with those dying of cancer, and sees how she insulted them all with her lies and fakery. Then again, would it be wise to allow her to be around such patients, and would they want her in their presence?


The Dems may be a mess but where are the Repubs?  If the Dems are bad the Repubs. are way worse.


Agree that the majority of muslims are moderate and peaceful.

That's why we should listen to the moderates, for example, Tarek Fatah.


How many emails do you think she gets a day?   The justice department was apparentlly not overly concerned.   Maybe it was the equivelant of 'junk mail for the Secretary of State'.     I'll see if I can find something else.  A big number doesn't scare me.    The woman is a workaholic and very much planner.    That's a personality type that likes a lot of control.. (and often are solid hard working people)

There no proof that she conducted something like a 'hidden' government with some nefarious plan to.......?

Now that I've learned someone can steal my car and reimburse me just the wholesale value, I can't take any chances. I'll work from it during the day and sleep there at night. If you see liquid under the car, that's not radiator fluid or motor oil, but it will be much more toxic than either one because my diet will have to be heavy to drive-thru joints.


Stay strong Quin! You know what to do to keep your youth safe and how to flush out the dealers. Stay strong and together.

Paraphrased from the 2017 columnist:

"Too often, gene advances provoke hysterical responses about an imminent race of super-babies. We saw it when in vitro fertilization was pioneered, when three-parent IVF was done and now with genetic editing. We need to keep our wits about us, to consider the promise of this technology as much, if not more, than the potential perils."

Paraphrased from the 1930 activist Edith Keeler in Star Trek:

"The years ahead are worth living for. One day soon man is going to be able to harness incredible energies, maybe even the atom. Atomic energies that could ultimately power cities and hurl us to other worlds in some sort of spaceship. And the men that reach out into space and use the atom will do good, there is no need for hysterical predictions of a planet whose nations become armed with thousands of nuclear bombs designed for destruction. We need to keep our wits about us, and consider the promise more than the perils, the future of the atom is good."


God Bless Cardinal O'Malley for saying what needed to be said.  All of us, regardless of gender, race, religion, sexual preference, ethnicity, native born, or immigrant is an American.


Dull life ?  I'm living the dream . I fly all the time around the world.  I'm the voice of all those innocent people who died because of the pilots bad judgement and risk taking. It's beyond pathetic that even supposedly professional pilots in Alaska are making such terrible mistakes . Many have the same attitude as you---that life is a risk---so it's no big deal that so many pilots are taking so many innocent people to their deaths.  That you and I are writing about this subject means we have been lucky so far to have flown with pilots who did it right.  These pilots just don't seem to realize the responsibility these innocent passengers put in them . If they did they wouldn't pull all of these stupid stunts . In the past 60 years look at all the innocent people who have died because of these cowboys.  There must be a way to end the madness in Alaska. How many innocent passengers will die in Alaska this year ? How many innocent people will have to risk their lives searching for them ?


what claim did i make? (always there putting the dancing shoes on and  - and ... side step, side step side step.... )  AThere: "Proving a negative or negative proof may refer to: Proving a negative, in the philosophic burden of proof. Evidence of absence in general, such as evidence that there is no milk in a certain bowl. ... Sometimes it is mistaken for an argument from ignorance, which is non-proof and a logical fallacy."

You really need to be aware of posting such nonsense that is so easily debunked."
 and you just put  the best evidence down for that. no - don't address my post...go all smoke and mirrors nonsense. or is that in your bible?

Wow! McLaren supports her article with a discredited New York Times article. Then, she doubles down on her unsupported assertion that "most of us are guilty of overpraising men." That's chutzpah! It's also BS. An apology for low editorial standards is in order, G&M.


Where is Mayor Lucy Vinis in all of this.  After her speech at the woman's pink-hat protest and her self described Eugene's "welcoming-to-everyone" movement, I would expect her to make a public statement.   Maybe this issue is her litmas test.


Well, except that one is normally supposed to believe that your local District Attorney's office is telling the public the truth.

I guess that our new District Attorney Patricia Perlow that our Governor appointed may not be as good as folks claimed she is.   I wonder if this incident will hurt her chances in the upcoming election?   Seem rather scandalous, if it turns out that the family was being truthful, and the DA's office was not being forthcoming.   Contradicting the family like they did yesterday really impuned the family.

There might be a Torts lawyer willing to sue the DA's office over this.

This case gets more unusual all the time.


The Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act does not authorize any reversals.

All you have to do to prove your claim is:

(1) provide a PERCENTAGE of the cats you've TNR'd.  You'll need to get to AT LEAST 80%-90% just to "stabilize the population"--the rate of increase is about one-third annually

(2) explain why, despite SIX DECADES of practicing TNR, the UK stray and feral cat population has more than DOUBLED from 4.1 million in 1965 to 9.1 million today.

(3) explain how sterilizing cats prevents them from contracting and transmitting toxoplasmosis.  I'll make that one easy for you--it doesn't.

(4) What was that you were saying about laughing at idiots?  Are you standing in front of a mirror?

Yes, I oppose taking people's money to give it to a cause that doesn't even have the PRETENSE of being able to solve the problem, IF it's a problem at all.  The head of the EPA says at most, the attempt to control CO2 emissions won't slow warming by more than 3-tenths of a degree over the next century.  Furthermore, the rest of the world is increasing their emissions faster than we're reducing ours, completely offsetting our efforts.  Neither the Kyoto Accords nor the Paris accords have an enforcement mechanism in them.  Other countries are free to show up at the party, pledge their cooperation, then go home and keep up what they were doing, trying to produce energy the cheapest way they can, which is with coal.  And there's not a damned thing you can do about it.  What to do you plan to do about it?  Conquer the world and force them to comply?


Unfortunately, Canada has been caught up as a taregt in various plots that were stopped by UK and US security services. Canadians are not immune to this menace and it is a huge mistake for Canadians to think they are.

Radical Muslims are no kinder to Canadians overseas and see Canadians as just another bunch of Westerners.


When JFK was elected, there was a hope that things would be better - all his external rhetoric promised it. However, underneath all the pleasant platitudes and friendly flummery of his administration, a deeply subversive and destructive revolution  was inaugurated. It has taken slightly less that 50 years to come to maturity, commencing with the takeover of the Dems by George Soros, the installation of Obama and the prospective installation of Clinton - both predicted by Soros prior to the formal election - which suggests that in 2016, this will be the third frauded (& for Soros, last unnecessary) election America has had to endure. If things go the way that Soros wants, this will be America's last even faintly democratic election. Thereafter, the inconvenience of both Congress and the Supreme Court will be unnecessary as Hillary tries to rule by decree indefinitely thereafter. This will be seen as necessary in the aftermath of WW3 that both Obama and Clinton have planned.


I suppose that you will still be living in your alternative reality when he wins the next election. "Reality is that which does not go away when you stop believing in it". See you in 2018!

Actually, the original comment is precisely correct.  The Campbell government didn't like the agreement that the previous NDP government had put in place and sent Clark in to undo it.  Weren't you around then?


Absolutely false. Every single one has expressed the opinion that the constitution is the ruling document over this country, regardless of what their religion tells them. In case of conflict with their religion, the constitution is the final arbiter. You can express your hate for anyone or anything religious you want but the facts are just that, the facts.


Totally agree about trash canning Win the Day mantra...that's what MH should have done but the AD wouldn't let him, I hope they have learned an expensive lesson.  Coach T needs this to be his team and his coaching staff not the last regimes.


Well said. I agree completely. How about some honesty here?


I would expect that it is up to any government advocating this model would justify using it.
That hasn't happened.
In support of India November, advocates are just that, advocates that have a build-in bias.
If you want to see the results of depending upon advocates, simply look at Ontario's electricity sector.


BC under the fiscal policies of Gordon Campbell has some of the lowest debt per capita in canada, despite weathering the 2008 meltdown. Subsequently BC has enjoyed 5 consecutive surplus budgets, increasing the credit rating and saved reserve monies BC will need in future, especially for health care.  The NDP's plans will only run us into ruin like Ontario and many other provinces doing heavy spending, heavy borrowing and higher taxation.  Finally, because the debt is low and taxes kept in check, BC now enjoys unemployment at a rate nearly half what it was under the NDP!  People never had it so good in the province as they have today - fact. NDP will put at least a half million out of work, like they did before


"All gun criminals were at one time peaceable gun owners."

Amazingly incorrect. The vast majority of guns used in crimes were acquired via straw purchase, theft or illegal street sale, and each of those purchasers were criminals before committing any gun crime.


Really??  You've missed the point, palani.  It's unfortunate that you didn't comprehend the gist of her commentary.  Her last paragraph stated it, clear and simple to understand.  Let's just agree to disagree!  Aloha!


Not true.  Almost by definition evangelicals seek to actively promote their view of religion by knocking on doors and by knocking heads.  These are very powerful fringe elements of mainstream religion.  They come as Christians, as Muslims, as Jews.  They rob humanity of it's diversity by proclaiming that their views are God-given.


Eastern Europeans from Serbia and Bulgaria "work hard" because they are desperate, just as much as Mexican workers. $300/month doesn't go very far. They are also highly educated, all are University students: engineers, pre-med, government, business, IT. They all got this education from FREE UNIVERSITY, lol. Hard for local youth to compete with imported university education, especially when the ASD does such a poor job from a cost/benefit viewpoint.


I think the public deserves to know what the original tax bill was.

In other words, how many PFD checks worth in tax liability was forgiven for a Rasmuson as the Rasmuson Foundation openly campaigns to reduce PFD checks for low income Alaskans?

The CBC will never stop until the beneficiaries of their organized crime network are dead or in jail.

I agree the Tax Foundation does not make a good spokesman for the No on 97 campaign, but they do make a valid point.

This is a tax that is making a pinpoint drone strike on a few large companies. I think that feature is its worst quality and is the main reason I oppose it.

If we have such a big and important problem that it takes $3 billion to solve, shouldn't we all be sharing the burden? If a ballot measure can succeed by demonizing and targeting certain businesses or groups, who is next in the bulls eye?

This is not the way we should be governing ourselves.


This guy confused socialism with communism.
I doubt he has one bad word to say of the outsourcing and greed that is the root of our current economic state of affairs

Dear Canada.

We, the developing world, appreciate all of your efforts to hobble your own resource industries while we charge ahead on ours, and also as we continue to eat your lunch in other areas of economic development.
AND, we are very pleased that you will pay us for the privilege of doing it.

Thanks ever so much,
The Climate Change Victimhood Cartel of Nations.

PS. please continue to send three or four times as many delegates as any other developed nation to all upcoming climate change conferences. It is a source of great comfort, and humor, to us as gaggles of Canadian bureaucrats wander around aimlessly and powerlessly while deals are negotiated that will see your outrageously high standards of living brought to a more reasonable level - just at or below ours.

Toodles.

Very good article. Thank you Globe.


<Neither orthodoxy nor truth divide into right corners and left corners and far-right corners and the like>
Of course they do; they always have. Difference of opinion has always driven the search for truth; words like "orthodoxy", "heresy" and "heterodoxy" are often lobbed as weapons in an attempt to control the search or to declare that it's over.  It never works; let's pray that it never does.
There was an equally erudite group of scholars who objected to Humanae Vitae (though they didn't have the arrogance of this group: no reference to 'correction', still less to 'heresy.')  They didn't get very far -- though time and experience have proven they were right.
Respect is in the eye of the beholder: the sheer. preening arrogance of the writers of this "correction" seems obvious to me; apparently you don't see it.  Difference of opinion, I suppose. It's hard to believe that anyone who has read Faggioli could dismiss him as "anti-intellectual". But you just did. And so it goes.


News flash: No one, including the Clintons and Obamas and Bushes and Reagans and Roosevelts and Lincolns and Jacksons and Washingtons, has experience in national politics until they actually do it. Unless you’re in favor of a permanent ruling class.


We do NOT need to stand together in a "show" of unity, and now -- if ever -- is the time for reasoned criticism.  I'd venture to say that standing apart and offering criticism is a patriotic duty, and advocating the contrary is playing right into the hands of those who are at work to subvert our Republic and its tradition of town-hall politics.

Pearl Harbor has not been bombed again.  The Twin Towers haven't fallen again.  Assad the Butcher hasn't attacked America or any American assets.  No Americans have died in Syria -- yet.  Let nobody say we don't have the right -- the obligation -- to make our dissent heard!

Now is precisely the time to question whether we want to take another false-crack at the tar-effigy that's the Middle East and get stuck to it really tight.  We seem to be stuck pretty good already in Afghanistan and Iraq, already America's longest wars.


Not surprising given the liberals are pre disposed to taking payoffs. Trudeau is finally showing he is the same as any unethical, integrity challenged politician. Maybe the opposition should ask Trudeau if he is willing to hand over all pay for access monies to pay down the country's debt. Trudeau's answer would be illuminating.


Amusing that after your tirade you'd label someone else "fanatical"..


Dude, I think you are the most misogynistic poster on the site.  I note you condoned the killing unleashed by the Trump.  Yup, you are no compassionate humanitarian.  Like most libbers, you are a closet killer.


not racist, 1st amendment rights! we agree! that 50 cals and nylon nets are a pain, Good! Call me a racist all you want, just because I voice my opinion and You don't like it, that makes me a racist? sure thing buddy.


You are exactly right!
Unfortunately, the majority of Canadians are now socialists / communists without even realizing it. They're safe and cozy with their government pay cheques and platinum pensions, and have no idea what a free market really is - well at least until the system implodes like Greece.


You're right, I certainly do not believe comparing O'Leary makes him a worthy leader.  I just wanted to show that anyone can selectively choose a piece of information from a person's past and take it out of context to make one look like an incompetent idiot.  There's more to Trudeau than his drama teacher past, and there is more to O'Leary than one business transaction.

Like I said in a previous comment, I'm taking a 'wait-and-see' approach before I really formulate an opinion.  I wouldn't consider O'Leary to be my 'newfound hero'-- or at least not at this point anyway ;)

NFL players don't get paid to stand or kneel during the National Anthem. They get paid to play the game. Does it really bother you that they are silently sitting down during the National Anthem? Before the game? They aren't hurting anybody.  Also, the teams allow them to do it. Btw, I do have a issue with forced patriotism but if it's required by the NBA then so be it. Still, they should do whatever they want. Stand or sit.


Hate to break it to you, but if you've been living in Canada for any length of time your standard of living has largely been supported by the oil industry....the ignorance and hypocrisy of the left knows no bounds...


"Mr. Trudeau surely meant every word of his platform".
Hopefully, the author was being sarcastic. The budget/deficits promise was a blatant lie.  FPTP was also a lie. You can't look at either either of them any other way and they were both the most important underpinnings of his campaign. On the environment - he maintained the Harper emission targets - targets that he said were embarrassing to Canada on the world stage. That's at least a fib - but one that we should be happy with. And it goes on and on. I've been around a long time and I've never - NEVER - seen a government break or neglect so many promises.  As Andrew Coyne said - it's not the LIberals fault for breaking their promises - it's yours for ever believing them!


Alaska's Christians will continue to appear ignorant and vindictive to the rest of the world while the Prevos and Boykos of the world go on their merry way ruining innocent people's lives while the Carlsons of the world are forced into early retirement.


I have come to realize that our government does not have the capacity or the capability to deal with the homeless epidemic.  Who is the government, me and you and even the homeless.  So rather than complain, blame, and pass the responsibility to others, how about we all take part in  finding solutions...maybe hard solutions.   The responsibility of the homeless lies with the homeless themselves first.   Our first kuleana is to support the homeless families with children.  The mentally and physically disabled, are like the children, and rather we like it or not, it is our kuleana to care for them.   But how many are on the street because of drug addiction?  It is a choice they made,  They must agree to enter treatment, or what?  No more excuses.  Two choices, treatment or jail?  If not, live with this and forever stop complaining!


wow.  So if there is something bad about the President or the PM, the media should ignore it?  Or would you prefer a Russian or Chinese style media?


Hillary Clinton told the media that Americans elected a man like Weinstein.  Yes his name is Bill Clinton and Americans are still trying to get over that.

Here's the biggest part of the whole sordid Weinstein affair.   People like Hillary Clinton and her cronies have condoned and coddled this type of behavior and they are are just as guilty as the man himself.  As long as these guys are big donors to people like her then turning a blind eye is easy.  I still have not heard Biden say anything to the media. He and Harvey are buddies.

Then again lets face it there never has been as big a sexual predator as Bill Clinton and the media still loves him.


I make comments like I make my snaps, >SUE


Part 1:

I don't think Jesus spoke in a didactic way about the relationship between justice and mercy; Jesus' teaching unfolds in his parables and in the Sermon on the Mount, especially the Beatitudes.  Of course, the church has been reflecting on his teaching, trying to understand and follow it, for more than two thousand years.  We live in the "time between the times" -- the "already" of the reign of God inaugurated by Jesus and the "not yet" of the full realization of God's reign in God's time.  In the time between the times, we seek justice and practice it imperfectly.   In the reign of God, God blends justice and mercy perfectly, because God is Love; but we do it imperfectly.  At least, though, we must keep both in view and recognize the priority of mercy without denying the importance of justice.  What an awesome task, especially for those in the church, charged with ministering to sinners, and those (like you) in civil society, charged with administering justice. (con't.)

Sorry Michelle.  Not all Americans can send their kids to private school where their $30,000 tuition also pays for a decent lunch.  The rest of America has to get by with public schools and crappy lunches that don't satisfy a waif let alone a growing child.  No wonder lots of districts were ditching the program well before Trump was elected.


All right!  Good job Anchorage, a new record for murders!  Now's not the time to slack off though, let's seal the deal for years to come with a few extras.  Get to it!


Great News...Sounds like Trump is Uniting the Country...Even if we're Uniting against Trump...#MAGA


You're mom sounds like a real trail blazer... Playing "nurse" while on the payroll of a massive timber and metals manufacturing corporation... Indeed she must have been the most unbiased professional around...

...Back to the original inquiry which you did not answer:

*Please cite your scientific source for your claim that "1-3 cigarettes is healthy," otherwise, stop spreading such a blatant and dangerous claim*


That's equivalent to arguing that all black people are oppressed and should be offended by the comment; An inherently racist argument. Some people, regardless of skin pigment, genuinely don't care to clutch pearls at the slightest of slights....they understand nuance and those who declined to sign the petition realized this was not a hill worth dying (or killing) on. Rather low-hanging fruit from a morally righteous perspective. The professor's comments were a relative non-issue but torpedoing his life's work after lamely collecting a few dozen signatures was an easy win. Kudos.


Uh, Steve...public employees work tends to benefit all of us, and the pensions add a lot to the economy by giving retirees the ability to purchase goods and services...and as noted earlier, most pensions are moderate in size.


Free shit for everyone! No thanks! Pay your own way.


That's awesome.


No, that's not the way it is.  I live in S. Eugene and we've endured years and years of what sounds like mortar fire around the Fourth of July.  (BIG illegal fireworks)  I've called the police a couple times and always get the same story from the dispatcher:  "We're too busy."


Typical Trudeau. Remember  "... because it's 2016." But now, it's hands off. Human rights, feminism, equality; it's not our issue. THAT needs an explanation!


So at the end it was the DNC who colluded with Russia to alter the elections. And the DNC leadership (at the time) denied knowing that they paid millions for the dossier. And that pesky uranium deal. Funny.


Dingman, you should either stick to topics you know something about, or bother to learn something about the topics you choose to write about.  This commentary is just embarrassing (for you.)


Actually history will show that P Trudeau  ruined our banks in 1968 when the Liberals allowed banks to provide mortgages . Before then only trust companies could provide loans greater than 4 years. You are old and should know better.


Oh please, Democrats!  Please make this the central plank of your 2018 platform...


So when can we stop the welfare cheques?  The 3rd world immigrants need them now.


That's just it. Murkowski has no leadership or moral compass. It's all partisan political posturing for her. Alaska can do better than this.
