It would be helpful if Dems grew a pair, and tried to fix the absolute abomination of Obamacare.  Premiums have gone up over 120%, if you're self employed.  Health care has been totally devastated by this law, and Democrats surely know this as well as anyone else by now.  Their childish behavior, under the tutelage of Chuck  Schmer, and the infamous Nancy Pelosi, has brought American politics to a low that is unrecoverable, unless we have a major national crisis of some kind.  Our political parties are like 2 kids bent on having it their own way.  It's one thing when you're between 2-5 years old.  Quite another when you claim adulthood.  America is in dire straights, and those with all the money & power are bent on keeping things this way.  Schumer, Pelosi, and a whole host of others from both parties, are knocking down huge money, and receiving enormous benefits via us, the taxpayers.  The worst part is that we're so divided, we don't do anything about it.


If they have room for one woman not getting entry, then I don't see one single reason why they can't put in a story affecting 6 Canadian girls! I guess if a Muslim girl was assaulted, they would have not only run the news as the main cover story but also would have had follow up articles and taken up 'the precious space' that you mentioned for the rest of the year! What a shame


AnnieO, thank you for your reply. Not sure why my comment you replied to did not meet the < civility standards >.  But thanks for taking the time to reply.

We all need to reflect from time to time. Reflecting in a mirror, magic or otherwise, is one good way.


All Colorado Baseball Team is not the correct title for this article! It should be titled "All Frount Range Team.  Oh darn, had to let one  Western Slope  player in because he had a great season!


Canada does not need to have the capability to solely defend it's borders as it's in NATO. That's the point of the alliance. In return, we've made a commitment to spend 2% of GDP to have a military capable of meeting our NATO commitments -- including defending the borders of other NATO countries. As many of pointed out, the cost to us to be capable of defending Canada alone would be far greater. So, there's really no excuse for not meeting that commitment other than it is spending that doesn't provide much political return (which is a terrible 'reason'). If someone has a practical alternative to the NATO alliance for Canada's defence that will be 'cheaper' than 2% GDP, I'd love to hear it. Otherwise -- time to step up.


You are incorrect. Most tribal societies were far more egalitarian than we are. In the lower 48, numerous Native American tribes were matrilineal and matriarchal, including the Iroquois who famously influenced many of the democratic ideals,  freedoms and processes delineated in the Constitution. Caucus is a Native American word and process

People have a tendency to pick a single negative fact about tribal societies and apply it to the entire culture out of context, and doing so presents a very false understanding of the subject. But a number of areas of scholarship, obviously anthropology but also other fields like psychology and history, conclude that far greater egalitarianism existed among tribal people.

Many of the beliefs about tribal people held by this culture are pure projection. This culture is the one that has a history of horrific ongoing violence and warfare, injustice, mistreatment of women and children, greed, and unfathomable destruction toward EVERYTHING.


Yep.. only thing to due to induce more capital flight, more de-industrialization, and stagnation in this "Post Nation Economy"

Good idea- increase the population, let anyone in, drive industry away, everyone works for the government, drive up taxes and deficit..

Sounds like a winner..

We are sing Nigeria as a model?


Humbly and pitifully admit that you don't find her as attractive with the extra weight. Tell her how you never knew you were this kind of person on the inside and you wish you weren't. That you are sorry. That you are trying to change and are hoping to find other ways of connecting with her. Stand by your comments and live with the fallout. Ask her about her views and expectations of physical appearance within the marriage. Ask yourself what you would want her to do if you had gained weight. Also: the cover story on the People magazine website is: "Couple with Down Syndrome Celebrate 22 Years of Happy Marriage: 'Their relationship is pure' says sister"


"How is this possible if the final elevated guideway segment with stations is expected to cost approximately $1 billion?"  Me thinks Mr. Wilson has factored in the guaranteed CHANGE ORDERS that will occur based on the prior segments?  Also, he's probably factoring in the downtown obstacles ahead (why did KIEWIT bail?).

And lastly, why did Captain Kirk say he needs 10 or 20 years more of the tax to have enough for construction?  Doing the math that's another $3-$6 billion based on current annual "rail revenue".


Oh. I see. Asking the temperature of the globe is a "stupid question." We're just supposed to accept that it's "warming."

Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows that 55% of likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. You need to read Ann Coulter's column today for the facts

"While Oak Harbor’s economy, history and culture are heavily steeped in the Navy base, the Coupeville and Central Whidbey economy are not".
Very interesting to read an article that refutes an ongoing misstatement that some Oak Harbor people claim, that the Navy base benefits the whole island's economy.

Truth is It really doesn't benefit much beyond Oak Harbor.

Military and civilian employees of the base do not flock to Coupeville and points south spending their paychecks there. The Navy's presence in Oak Harbor has very little economic effect on Central and South Whidbey.

Nice to see an article point that out after numerous erroneous blogs claiming the opposite.


Another G&M "phenom", so they told us


I see. So, he said something nice to one lady. Good. At least he doesn't seem to make a hard policy of offending these widows and bereaved parents.

Not clear how this excuses his horrid mangling of this with the other lady.  He didn't even remember the guy's name.

He says he calls them all, but he's contacted less than half of them.

Obama wrote, hand-wrote, personal letters to EVERY family of a fallen service member during his term in office. He had his staff research the details so he could personalize the letters. He called dozens fo those families. he honored their sacrifices in his speeches and in his actions. Even Bush, inarticulate and bumbling as he was, managed to send out letters to all of the families of the 4000 plus who died for his misbegotten wars during his term.

Trump has had the chance, with 20 dead service members to demonstrate some grace, and has already failed on more than half of them.


What a cretin.


Alaskans are some of the biggest hypocrites. They're always whining about congress and "Washington" but every two years they keep sending the same guy that's been in office since the Nixon administration back to DC.

Supposedly Alaska has a whole bunch of so-called "independent" voters who "vote the person, not the party". But the independent voter in Alaska is a total myth . Otherwise, how can the same republican has hold office for 43 straight years? In reality independent in Alaska means a republican who's trying to pretend to be a sophisticated voter. Its like the Tea Party...which was nothing more than a rebranding exercise by republicans who were trying to skip out on the responsibility for rabidly supporting and twice electing George W. Bush, the worst president in American history.

PS. Apologies to those of you who are truly independent in your voting habits...I know there are a few of you out there.


No. It's the smart thing to do. The golden rule of planning is "plan for the worst and hope for the best". Paul Martin did the same thing, it's called being fiscally conservative, something that the late Jim Flaherty ever understood with his perpetually over-optimistic projections.


It's obvious to me that a number of posters are disordered themselves, but not with PTSD.  More likely personality disordered, as evidenced by the narcissistic "me, me, me" rants.   Poor little things are routinely outraged at the mere thought of ordinary decency.


Gosh, all this point the finger here, point the finger there, is that really the point I ask? Pardon the poor pun. The biggest question I have is, sigh, Mr. Walker states "if we don't cap it, it will be gone in four years or less" Hmmm, if I'm not incorrect, which I can be, if it is not "Stolen From" and continues to be invested in, the fund will not go away Mr. Wohlforth, there are other, proper budgetary ways. There are other ways, Mr. Walker and many, of whom I personally believe need to go away, will. Of the people, for the people, by the people. If our "Public Servants" were working in and for our best interest, of what ever party, we would possibly not be in the mess we are in? I believe humbly, our elected, public servants are "self serving" at this point. I have lived here since 1964, I'm not someone who has not seen many changes and ups and downs and made changes to weather them. I do, believe, we, the people can change it, and I hope "WE" do.


The question is "Does Mr. Trump's temporary or indefinite target Muslims?"

Recently, the UNHCR reported there are 65-million refugees globally. In October 2012, the UNHCR said there were an 'unprecedented' 45.2-million refugees, so the number spirals ever upward.  The UNHCR also reported that more than half of all refugees come from Afghanistan, Somalia, Iraq, Syria and Sudan. Mr. Trump's ban affects these five countries plus Yemen and Libya.  These nations tend to be Muslim-dominated. In many cases, the fight is between religious factions where Muslim factions (eg, Sunni versus Shia) will not tolerate each other's religious interpretations, so Muslims are fighting each other.  The UN needs to broker order in these unstable nations, and funding should be applied to programs there. The constant increase in refugees is related to human over-population and associated resource scarcity in those regions. The problems need to be dealt with 'in situ' -- what is the UN doing?

"For a president who came to office more than seven years ago talking about eventually ridding the world of nuclear weapons..."

Yes, New York Times : he lied.  About many things.  We know.  Some of us tried to tell you that before you voted for him.  But you didn't care.

Looks like the New York times just finally woke up from a seven year sleep.


What an idiotic posting @shopaholic.  Move out of the state if you don't like it here.  Get a real life !!!!

All for show to try to get democrats elected this fall.    The only way to even come close to balancing the budget without the PFD is massive cuts to the very social programs the Dems champion.    I'll believe Wielechowski when he signs a pledge to never vote to use PFD earnings for government (which he will never do).

Remember, the Democratic Party in Alaska is the group that withhold approval to fund this years budget until the republicans added millions back into the budget, that resulted in a net $13 million increase over last years budget, before Walkers vetoes.   The only way democrats can get elected in Alaska is to deceive the voters; don't fall for it.


Voted en masse to repeal and replace when they KNEW it couldn't happen. Now that it CAN, their knees get weak. Trump is right - all their posturing is just to get votes, not to serve.

The RCMP are applying the law as passed by Parliament.

There is a very good legal reason why refugee claimants (not asylum seekers which are a completely different class of persons) are not being charged in respect of their entry to Canada.

Under Article 31 of the 1951 Convention on Refugees Canada has undertaken to not prosecute refugee claimants for illegal entry into Canada including any issues of false documents or fraud relating to that entry.

Canada has enacted that exemption into our domestic law as required by the Convention in various iterations of our immigration legislation over the years. Currently that exemption is contained at s. 133 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.

So no charges because the law exempts refugees recognizing that refugees who are fleeing persecution are different from other migrants.


The liberal "politically correct" ethos is drowning out even Muslims that want to help and condemn this type of brutal violence by their most radical flanks --I think they call this irony. No law abiding, responsible Muslim citizen wants their children involved with these insidious terrorist groups; no more than white parents want their kids in neo-Nazi gangs, or black parents want their kids hanging around with the Bloods and Crips. Let Muslims help by speaking out and identifying these radical elements within their community, so let's please not sacrifice more innocent blood in the name of politeness and pretend that we don't see any differences in our multicultural societies.  The West must help reformist moderate Muslims reform Islam, this is one of the most important issues of our time.


Veterans groups keep telling the government what veterans need and what the VA needs. The VA needs less red tape to hire new employees. Government hiring freezes and attempts to funnel money from properly staffing VA's to expensive and less useful civilian care have left most VA's critically understaffed. I understand that politicians want to look like they care about vets while funneling vets to private civilian care. But it doesn't work for us.
Civilian providers won't take our low government pay for services, even if it's more expensive than VA care. And the care civilians provide is substandard for veterans health needs. Military members are exposed to unique toxins and environments like burning oils fields and depleted uranium and such, and unique stressors like the conditions of battle and military life. We need veteran specific care and the peer support of contact with other veterans.
Fix hiring and properly staff our VA. Don't let them privatize our care to please lobbyists.


Have to wonder what Bugsy and Meyer would think about having taxpayer funded facilities available to support their customer base with advise and supplies, enabling them to survive longer in order to consume even more of their contraband merchandise?


Yeah...private companies SO care about our privacy and the public interest!!! LOL!


What a great idea!


CLOWNS - that is about the only word I can think of to describe the leadership that put together this utterly irresponsible and fiscally devastating attempt at a budget. Not even close to what was needed in this environment.


The very rich who attempt run Our Country for their selfish gains.  Hoity-toity bunch!


I prefer not to inflame with comments that are designed to make people angry. I also do not wish Hillary ill with regard to her health. I think there is an underlying health issue that her and her campaign are keeping under wraps but I wish no one, not even her, serious health problems.

How come these job creation articles never reference immigration and the increase in general population?


Yes, I think there is a concerted effort to keep this under the radar from people. City government officials are not publicly honest about the crime because it makes the cities look bad even though it already IS bad.

Reminds me of when I heard awhile back that the city of Lakewood WA didn't want the TV show COPS to do anymore filming there because "it puts the city of Lakewood in a bad light" city officials said. LOL!


Rest In Peace Desa. You will NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!!


It's probably cheaper for the car manufacturers to just pay settlements to the few people who have been (or will be) injured/killed by the faulty air bags than it is to replace all the faulty air bags.  So of course they're in no hurry to get them all replaced.


I campaigned AGAINST Dan. He turned out like I expected.


"Call a racist like Ann Coulter on the facts and her calls for violence, then you must be against free speech."
No I think it is more like if you dress up in an identity concealing uniform and attack peaceful meetings and marches by throwing bricks, pop bottles and M80's into the crowd, and gang up on individuals to administer a beating then you are against free speech.


Hopefully the driver will get caught and punished (hopefully severely).  More important however are prayers of recovery for the injured serviceman.   Danger in Afghanistan he signed up for, idiots in Alaska are not in his employment contract!

Here's some simple math from AEA's site:  Projected cost: ~$6 Billion.  Projected energy production: 3 Billion KWHr annually.  50 cents per kwhr. Cost of CEA today: ~ 15 cents.  GVEA: ~20 cents.  Mega Projects NEVER come in less, always more.  $1 Billion in transmission line costs are needed to connect SuHydro to the Railbelt.  Projected, not completed.  Seeing a pattern here?  http://www.susitna-watanahydro.org/


It was like the way things play out at Coors field.


Are you so afraid of the truth.


I'm also confused by the purpose of this piece.  It's a great idea - bridges and maintenance are extremely important.  But it really seems to lack an understanding of all the factors involved.  The purpose really seems editorial to take hits at Caldwell.  So if the point is political, then it should look at Djou's record as well.  As you mention, he has voted against every single bridge maintenance project in his 8 years on the Council.  Not just that, but he also proposed signifiant cuts to the budget multiple times, which would have decimated CIP funding for projects like this.  Now that he is proposing a tax cut for the wealthy, which City programs would he propose cutting to pay for his luxury tax break?  Caldwell fixed 22 bridges (by this article's report) / how many would Djou's #notaxesever do if he had the chance?  Hopefully we don't find out.


The press does NOT get a free pass to libel people.

And you might be forgetting that the First amendment to the United States Constitution says "Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of ... the press."


Exactly, meanwhile in Brussels today... and crickets from Saunders (it's 2017...)


that's what Gavin Newsom (former SF mayor) said on fb: "If this is true, then the President of the United States just declassified information about a serious investigation on Twitter. If false, then the President of the United States just lied about an FBI investigation on Twitter. Either way, once again Trump is making our intelligence community and our country look like a mess."


What 'native groups'?


why don't the city setup a website so people can report illegal rentals in our community


The players won't stop, the owners have already shown what side of this issue they are on (the players side), and the MINORITY of snowflakes that are upset with the players that are protesting will eventually GET OVER IT...


Others have explained to you how and why Burke would have been involved in Bannon's invitation:- the Breitbart connection; and the fact that Burke was chair of the Institute which invited Bannon to speak. You don't find these things to be even "hints", never mind "proofs"?
"Media coverage" (whether in the US or elsewhere) is usually a mixture of reporting facts and then discussing their likely significance, as you know well. Often, it is the case that not all the facts are known (e.g., some details may be kept private), and in this case journalists will report such facts as are known, and then try to make sense of them. Of course, some journalists and commenters are less ethical, and they will also invent (or spin) 'facts'.
Here, people are suggesting that Burke would have been involved, for the reasons stated, in inviting Bannon to talk to the 2014 conference. It is not a 'fact', but it is indeed very likely. If you have another explanation, please let us know it.


Porter claims "mythical jobs" at a time we are at a 40 year low on unemployment. It's not an issue of different perspective. It's about propaganda that flies in the face of reality.

This is unofficially a total breakdown. A team which has deep problems which have been covered-up by rookie pitchers whom no-one had ever seen before, and the first time through they were unexpectedly good. But now the league has seen them and they are no longer a mystery, and they're getting solved. Hoffman did a pretty good job last night, but still. And the offense continues to get exposed as average at best---except for a few elite hitters like Arenado, Blackmon, and DJ. Story was a one season wonder, Desmond is what he is, CarGo is on the decline. This is not a promising scenario from here on out. I was as jazzed as anyone at the amazing start, but that's what it is. A start. It's a long season, and we've been down this road before. Oh, and remember when the bullpen was making people sit up and take notice? Me, neither. They're done.


Please set me straight on the "falsehoods" I am posting.  I certainly don't want to become the CNN of posters.

Nicely done and thank you.


its not a lie its close to the truth you see you believe everything the vermin on the left tells you in the vermin press and the vermin T.V. media they are always pulling numbers out of there hats on a lot of articles and what they say on T.V. they are half truths and lies and you fall for it so you believe in lies and deny the truth that's why I told the truth and did not lie.


I've noticed many of my friends on the left and right display  nearly identical behavioral characteristics when it comes strongly held beliefs.  It becomes more acute as they move further in either direction.  Reason/facts/empirical evidence/science...all "out the window".

=>Creationism

=>Government can correct every "cosmic injustice"...every lunch is free.

It's called DENIALISM!

Trade has always been a part of human history. From antiquity to the present time man established trade routes, by caravans along the famous Silk Road or by vessels plying the seas. Canada, in recent centuries sold its wheat, fish from the Grand Banks, timber, ores, manufactured products and had substantial trade with world countries.

But that was then and that was before 'free trade' deals and pacts between large international corporations entered for rapid profit and control of people. Trade deals became the means for maximizing profit without regard for the producers/people and even less regard for the  environmental and social repercussions. Greed leaves little time for social justice concerns!

How could this have happened so quickly? One word: governments. Governments who sold out to corporate power and greed; there is a word for the merging of government and corporate powers: the word i fascism. Il Duce introduced it in 1930's Italy. Globalism and 'free trade' have revived it.

Mostly, after the last three days, I am feeling gratitude.
My apartment complex lost either Comcast internet/tv or power or both for most of it. Yet I was able to take an LTD bus to get around, and go to the library, and felt that there were a lot of folks working a lot of hours making sure my neighbors and I were ok.
Also, and it happens at least once a winter, I get a reminder that I am terribly addicted to the digital world. No internet, no tv...in the old days that would have been funny. But with my phone dependent on internet, with my streets littered with dangerous overhanging limbs, without LTD I would have really been immobile.
So thanks to those in the community who worked and are working, to make our lives safer.
Rethinking my total dependence on internet phone.
And a special thanks to those who keep Egan going,  including the agencies that help fund it. To sleep in a car or in a tent in this weather is to tempt death.

White House: 'Premature' To Talk Gun Control In Wake Of Las Vegas Shooting


Onlooker,

People in Florida were charging their EVs long after fuel pumps had run dry in places like Miami. People had nearly a week's notice to either fuel or charge their vehicles. Many did not pay attention. Without electricity life in Florida will be difficult. Keeping food cool, air conditioning, the internet, plumbing in high rises and on and on will be off the menu. Solar panels and a good storage battery are going to be increasingly useful/necessary in the southern US as climate change plays out. Large utilities are trying to stall roof top solar of course.


Vancouver has been a world leader in being a Green City. Vancouver was one of the first to stop wild animal acts in circuses. Vancouver closed the Stanley Park Zoo. Vancouver tried to ban cetaceans in 1996. Orca captivity ended.
The polar bears paced back and forth and back and forth. Their paws bled. The cetaceans swam around and around and around. This is a major win for cetaceans. The ban on cetacean captivity will help end their physical and psychological abuses in Vancouver and worldwide!


Why anyone would pay to hear this repulsive woman talk is beyond me.


Ms Norton has no interest in a political position in Colorado because Colorado has no interest in her. This throw back appeals to the dumbed down and offers no ideas to improve the lives of the citizens now or going forward, stay in church and leave the thinking to the thinkers. Your support of the liar is telling.


I actually flew Anchorage to Spokane recently after finding the lower fare on Delta, and I elected to upgrade to first class.That trip was far and above MUCH better than if I flew on Alaska Air, which I have done to the same destination previously. Delta seats in Economy and First Class are far more comfortable than Alaska. The Delta regional jet from Seattle to Spokane actually had a comfortable first class section, unlike Alaska where your a sardine and you get to know your neighbor more than you want to. My status with Alaska went down from 75K to MVP and so did my mileage plan miles, but I don't care; I'm tired of Alaska's marginal service overall.


But pre-Vat II, when the Church in America was at its pinnacle, the democratic model did not prevail in the U.S.  The model of the Church in America pre-Vat II was destroyed by Vat II, in the name of the democratic model, which many here want even more of.  This will further the separation between the Church in America today, which is at its nadir, and the Church as it was 50 years ago.


"She could borrow against the equity in her condo to finance the car purchase and home renovations."

No: just avoid new car purchase altogether - buy something ~2 years old and gently used for a MUCH more efficient use of money. Research the model using Phil Edmonston's Used Car Guide to make sure she buys a reliable car.

Then, learn how to do the home reno herself (at least as much of it as possible-hire out the electrical and plumbing, for instance).  She's apparently used to using her body, so is probably in decent shape enough to do some work on a bath remodel.

Besides the significant investment problems of letting someone else take care of her money:
the significant expectation to over-consume. Innovation beats consumption every time.


No, she's someone who's willing to cross the aisle and work something out.  It's a lot harder than just sitting there and saying NO.  It's called Statesmanship, a very lacking qualities in our politicians.


Sounds yummy.

Will have to try it when I go there.

Again we see TheSA in Liberal mode. Illegal means "illegal", go google the word "illegal" or use Webster's for it's definition! Why don't we give all our criminals in jail that done wrong amnesty? Why give drivers parking/moving violation fines, why do we have street signs? This is what happens when you don't enforce laws, people abuse the laws and expects to get away with things without any consequences.


Trump is a malignant narcissist--an unstable individual with a serious mental problem. Look it up on Google. Many sources.


And to be fair, I'll expand further.

$4.2 million is for the entire 5 year grant. So it'll probably be closer to 30,000 doses.

Hooked or unhooked doesn't matter.  Naloxone stops you from ODing, it doesn't treat addiction.

I tend to agree with your comment. However, Martineau is a polemist and doesn't have much credibility. I think if a french speaking high profile professor had written the same thing in the Canadian or international press, it would have  raised indignation as well.


There is no gestational limit on abortion in Colorado. Why is the healthcare of this premature baby so important but not if it’s in the womb.


Well, that's an accusation.

Would you care to provide some more information to substantiate it? Exactly how has the provincial government done what you're accusing them of?

A Leader with excellent sense is MaxPac. Habs are so fortunate to have him.

Taking care of sick people will never be profitable, this is the fundamental reason free market health care will never work. Comparing LASIK, a voluntary procedure, to rounds of chemotherapy or treatment for MS is absurd. The idea that "choice" is key makes sense only for healthy people seeking elective procedures. What choice is there is your kid has cancer? Millions of dollars in care or they die. What if they need a kidney transplant? The problem is that people can move from "healthy" to "in dire need of care" in a literal heartbeat. I've watched healthy active friends be diagnosed with cancer and ALS in their 20's, without insurance they would simply die. Full stop. No one can save enough or clip enough coupons to pay for that treatment. Pretending that people get sick because they have no financial motivation to stay healthy, or that the issue is voluntary treatment, is absolute nonsense. Not to mention the absurd costs you incur when older, that are paid forward by insurance.


Can I get more here on policy differences? Need to send out my ballot this weekend....


Thanks, Natalie. I'll take a look at what you sent.


I share your outrage.  But remember when BXVI lifted the excommunication on the Lefebvreist Bishops, but some one failed to inform him that one of them was a holocaust denier?  Terrible things do happen, even in the most august of institutions.


Sorry, but those have no cultural value. Nicely done but don't say anything.


ahh, what exactly was the classified information that was "leaked"?


Google "Christia Freeland Bill Maher".  God help us.


Don't be so paranoid about links. As long as you run some kind of security software, you'll be fine.


Trump's logic:

"We've had bigger hurricanes, therefore climate change is a hoax!  SAD!"


Earth to the Denver Post-

The bulk of those 3400 voters that cancelled their registrations were either illegal immigrants or voters that were illegally voting in two states, and they did it for fear of getting caught.

Somehow the crack staff at the DP never thought of that.


I picture the angry God in the old testament.    Time and tides march on and yet for the first two hundred years after Christ's partial departure Christians did not believe in nor practice self defense.   We had Francis of Assisi and Pierre Tielhard de Chardin since then compounding the deeper current of our Universal Consciousness and evolving understanding of the true calling.    Sure we have fallen for fear and madness abounds/Trumps winner take all world of might makes right etc, but then again the whole world is becoming aware like the cities evolution would first reveal true love and help bring heaven on earth not just above.    So mercy for ourselves and salvation is just a matter of making the connections with our destiny and makes the idea of being bad unconscionable.     Who for instance would want to be drunk or on drugs in this coming world of love?   Thus anger and making amends seems a childish quality God within us/the spirit vanquishes.   imho


people see what they want to see.


The massive participation in the generous food stamp program (SNAP) has led to a lessening of value shopping among lower income folks.  Not many recipients clip coupons to save on groceries.  Indeed, the grocery business has thrived from the expansion of SNAP, and has allowed more families to afford smaller specialty grocers.


Wow!
zerohedge claims that!
Must be true. 😄


It's still puzzling as to why so many people live in southern Ontario, if everyone's that desperate to get away from the place on the weekends.


Aaack spoiler!


Exactly!  They admit they don't even know how much money the GET surcharge will raise if extended.  Not the lawmakers, not HART, not the Mayor.  Bozos all of them, IMO.  But, "just give me the money" is the only refrain they know.

The FTA report later this week is going to be the best piece of fiction since Moby Dick.

"...When a politician says "tax the rich" people hear " tax those who are richer than me"...."
.
.
My whole life I have read of studies were people are asked "who is rich?", and it consistently means any one who earns (I believe) around 20% more than me. And that was true at $50,000 per year, or $500,000 per year..

You see, of course, I am the THE most middle, of the "middle class"...

AK is not open for business by passing any part of HB 247	new
House Bill 247 represents a public policy that’s “hellbent, 24-7,” to send oil companies packing from the North Slope, as one company official, Bill Armstrong of independent Armstrong Oil and Gas, said at a hearing last month.

If the state wants to enjoy the jobs, royalty and tax from new billion barrel oil discoveries then don't pass any part of HB 247.

If Alaskans want massive lay offs and TAPS shutting down and Alaska going broke then pass HB 247, simple.

The oil Industry has found billions of barrels of oil under the current program so why change it when oil prices are so low, one would have to be a fool to hurt the state now.

This action of killing the smaller oil and gas investors will hurt every Alaskan for years to come.

Don't tell the world of oil and gas investors Alaska is not open for business by passing any part of HB 247.


I understand your objection perfectly well. This isn't a question of how soon they turn a profit - it's a question of whether or not there's any development at all.  This is not the gravy train you've misunderstood it to be.

The difference between tax breaks and incentives is the restrictions and qualifications they come with. If they're not well-balanced, we end up with Capstone. If they are well balanced, we have thriving city neighborhoods or districts that more than pay for the tax breaks once the tax break period is over. That sort of long-term thinking is why these tax breaks, if done right, pay off many times for tax payers. Unfortunately, much of the voting public reaches for the pitchfork every time they hear "tax break", no matter how unequipped those members of the public are to understand the larger picture.


I am thankful that these meetings are coming up so the community can share possible ways to help or ideas that we have ..like a curfews for the pre- teen's and teen's, all you have to do is listen to the teen's in that come into your home to visit or the ones who just hang out and you can find out thing's that they have been doing, I don't act surprised out wardly to what they say ...yet on the inside I am praying shocked,and so so sad.
I agree with the police ,heroin is the 1 drug preferred not pot, next meth,! among mat-su pre-teens ..and how do they get it ? Adults ( gangs)recruit and manipulate them to sell for them, they provide, free drugs and money,,and as sad as it sounds a very dysfunctional sick family entity where most of them don't have a family dynamic ...the last thing I will say is that there is a underground that both adult's and teen's secretly party and do every debauchery that is against God ! Saddest thing.is now even kids with good home life's are getting involve


Sales tax yes, income tax no - it takes an entire bureaucracy to enforce an income tax and is very inefficient.


don't believe this is true today, non-Japanese are allowed to participate but preference is given to Japanese, the same as kam school's admission policy.  btw, the original exclusion was not only white, all other races were excluded.  and yes, this was wrong.


The term "the government" is used as a scapegoat to create an imaginary adversary.  It was a person(s) who fired the weapon.  But that firing was not without justification because the person shot and other occupiers threatened with weapons.  If someone threatens me with a weapon, it's either me or them, and there is every justification for a threatened individual to shoot  someone threatening them.  In that instant there is no such thing as "the govt".  The wildlife refuge belongs to us all so is my land and your land.  A threat to our land is justification for defending that land.  This is patriotism. the other is terrorism for personal gain.  This was not a peaceful civil disobedience.  And tell me, how much chance would you give someone to prove they intend to use a gun they were carrying, perhaps leave your wife and children fatherless,  if they had threatened you and vowed to use it in a situation like the one we're discussing?


I understand that reaction to the Civil system. It's easy to get on the wrong side of them too.

I said I was tired of being called racist, you said it wasn't racism it was heartlessness. Something I'm never accused of by those who know me. I have tutored many kids who were dreamers and I think they should be given a chance to stay. As long as they have a job or are in school, they should be given a visa for whichever applies. Not citizenship, but a chance to study or work here as a foreign national. Not sure how that makes me heartless but I've been called worse (see this thread for examples).


This is awesome news. Rand Paul needs help in the Senate to go against the McCains and Mcconnells. Lets get back to sanity and stop all this madness that has been going on for many years. A time where we were responsible for our own actions, what we say matters and most importantly stop ruling by feelings and emotions not logic and by law.


A decision made in a last ditch effort to save the premier's political career.  A decision made for the sake of political opportunism to secure a vote deserting her en masse. She is trying to project that she represents the interests of all the GTHA and not just the city of Toronto.  The problem she cannot shake is that she has succeeded in being untrustworthy and unpredictable- the hallmarks of unstable governance.

She made the only decision that could be made which is to stop penalizing the nation's economy by grifting employer and employee,  interfering in the making of product and getting product to market, creating further gridlock, and treating Toronto as if it was a bedroom community. This is what drives jobs out of the country.

Rather than blame Walker for PFD and other "thefts" why don't you instead point at the Republican led AK legislature for the past 30 years that have spent our state's money like drunken sailors?   Walker has had to make some tough choices -- and it is not out of line to expect Alaskans to have to chip in for the financial mess that's been brewing for years - with a small sales tax, income tax or give a little of the dividend.   No one can go it alone here.


Kimmel's the everyman who just happens to have a platform at his disposal to express his discontent toward the inherent hypocrisy and deep shortcomings of the GOP Obamacare 'reform' proposals, no different than what you'd hear from a neighbor or next person standing in the grocery checkout line. Kimmel's observations were based on the personal experience of his child's illness and were heartfelt, sincere and legitimate. Unlike the neighbor or the stranger in the checkout who'd express some understanding and empathy, his comments drew the fire of those trolling the sidelines, poised and ready to cast the first stone. Good for Kimmel that he cast back.


Remember: the FIRST action of the current Congress was to loosen restriction of SELF-DECLARED mentally ill people to possess firearms.

Well, the evangelists are probably glad they signed a letter opposing him before it got any worse. This is worse. He is disgusting.


no...it actually ended when closet loving harpocrit could no longer cry 'terrorist' after his blown horn government finally succumbed to voter fatigue about that illusive phantom terrorist he was crying wolf about during his entire time in office..


I don't agree with you very often but this one gets a star. :)


Susan Carney would be an excellent choice.


Looking forward to the convoluted rationalizations and deflections put forward by the diehard Trumpeters for today's revelations. These Trumpeters are exactly the kind of people the Trump family likes to do business with.


Hmm. $200,000 must put you into the top .001 % of global income. And you still get to be middle class!


Giuliani does seem to be coming unglued.  He uttered the most egregiously anti-Catholic comment of the campaign, and seems to have gotten away with it.


BS.

Well then, nothing to worry about.   Move along folks.  Nothing to see here.  When the lights go out it'll be Hillary Clinton's fault.


Donna, have actually read the comments section of the Alaska Dispatch News?

The open and thoroughly repugnant racism toward Alaska Natives that is on regular display by ample numbers of individuals is a stalwart segment of the society.

This kind of project however, is the only way to get competition back into the broadband market. Comcast holds a near monopoly in virtually every market it "serves". These kinds of projects DO work, and bring in business and jobs. For proof of that just look at what happened in Chattanooga, or closer to home, Tacoma.


This is simply not true.  People are customarily addressed by the title of the highest position they have held.  That's why Hillary is still addressed as Secretary Clinton, and Mitt Romney is still addressed as Governor Romney.  (JFK's father was addressed as Ambassador Kennedy till his stroke isolated him.)  Former presidents will always be President Obama, Clinton, Bush, etc.   No exception is being made to honor President Obama, and no exception should be made to exclude him from this customary honor, either.


Calgarians ought not to be surprised if one of the ultimate consequences of the 2017 municipal elections is a decision of the ownership group of the Calgary Flames and Stampeders to sell their interest in the teams to others.  It will be representative of alot of other business decisions taken recently. Perhaps Calgarians will see it as a good thing.  The present owners are likely loathe to move the Flames team to another city but it might not be so hard for new owners to do so.  Overall, given the election results, citizens appear quite content with that prospect as Calgary slowly winds down and devolves into perhaps a city like Tulsa or any of the other "fly-over" cities folks refer to as they do business elsewhere.  Horizons have shrunk considerably in Calgary as people, money and ideas have left town.  Those that have stayed behind currently find alot to celebrate much like those walking a beach before the tax and spend tsunami hits them.


"Having jurisdiction over another person's body in the United States isn't new." You mean like thinking you have the right to murder a baby? O wait you meant somebody forcing an extremely irresponsible woman to lose custody of her child... Oh wait you support that to just so long as its ex-utero. What a tangled web you weave little spider.


Good post. You've made a good point. I would look at donors like Soros. I is hard to argue that he is helping society. His open border policy and socialist agenda isn't doing us any favors. As you know, Democrats gladly accept his money. He doesn't like current America. The MSM is very quiet about the top Dem donors, but they really do like to focus on the Koch brothers, even though they contribute primarily to politicians and good causes, while Soros contributes heavily to demonstrators and anarchists.


37 plus million dollar damages? Thats more than bldg is worth! Owners pulled a major con and are the scammers of idiot legislatures that dont read fine print on contracts.


Makes you wonder why Loretta Lynch never recused herself with respect to the Clinton "Matter." Just goes to show that Republicans have more integrity & honesty than Democrats on most matters- including the  present presidential witch hunt.

Attorneys general in several states, including California, Connecticut, Kentucky, Massachusetts and New York, who said they planned to sue the Trump administration to keep the money flowing need to go back to law school to study the Constitution.  The President has absolutely no authority to spend money not appropriated by Congress.  Although Obamacare authorizes the subsidies, money to pay the subsidies has not been appropriated by Congress.  Thus, it is illegal for the Trump administration to pay them.  The only reason I can think of for the AGs wanting Trump to make the illegal payments is so they can then demand his impeachment.


Obama's interpretation was directly in-line with Supreme Court precedent interpreting Title VII.  It was not an over reach.


Mlandu is a racist fool. He has minimal support and wants to dictate. He is also incomprehensible. What does “For us to sit here with no nuance is a betrayal of intellectualism.” actually mean?

Nope, your pedantry is no help at all.
I expect Pope Francis knew what he  was doing when he gave his document the title "Amoris Laetitiae" and that translating that into English as 'The Joy of Love' is appropriate. It does suggest that just maybe 'Love' – especially married love – can be joyful!

If you want to reduce all love to sodomy, that is your mind at work. It is not in the words Francis uses.

Though I would suppose all genital activity is pleasurable, or people would not engage in it.


I'm fascinated. The world we live in is full of randomness and chance. Yet, in your opinion, drivers of internal combustion driven vehicles are completely in charge of their entire surroundings. In your opinion, there are zero accidents.  Someone is always at fault.

"Hawaii has long been dominated by the Democratic Party establishment. Should this change, and if so, how?".........Part of the problem is questions like this cannot be answered with a couple sentences and is phrased like a push poll where the question is written is a way which is meant to influence the answer. The four questions in this piece editorialized the question before asking the question. Just ask the question.


It absolutely is, but colleges don't need to sponsor it, for the most part that hateful and derogatory speech has pretty much zero redeeming value.  Folks like Milo Y and Ann Coulter are pretty much just angry people who do their best to spread hate.  They are free to say whatever they want, but college students should have some say in what their tuition dollars go to sponsor.  That being said, the rioting in Berlkey was just stupid.


Here's another heretical idea:

Maybe we need to stop funneling 50% + of all revenues into a black hole called health care. That might free up revenues to be allocated to other areas of need.

Another reform would be to set time limits on trials based on the charge. That might stop all the Perry Masons from turning a petty assault into a federal case.


The Ontario government is about as ready to do this as I am to have a baby which is a genetic impossibility. They couldn't even answer the questions in the presser. I thought the 'Gong Show' aired at night. Perhaps this is the 'Bong Show' cause they wwere smoking something before  going on air.

Hello J, after 31.5 years in law enforcement, let me analyze the scenario as "told" in the press release. Apparently these two "young" "ladies" initiated the interaction..the discussion became "heated," vulgarity was used...the minor "lady" spits on the man...
You were not there, I was not there...but if these fine young ladies initiated the confrontation...shame on "THEM."  You "assume" that the male suspect here was "the bully," but this positioning stems from ignorance on your part in not having dealt with "entitled" females and their personality-type.  If "calling people names and hitting people" are your definition of a bully, then with that in mind, there is a form of bully behavior on both sides...legally speaking, the ladies confrontation with the man during his Constitutionally permitted protest, then spitting on the man is a form of assault that should have landed her in jail...and the context of the story suggests it is told from the "ladies" perspective.

Oh please!  Get over yourself along with your arrogant, petty perceptions of regional disparity and injustice... with your comment, you blatantly typify the selfish stereotype of an arrogant and out-of-touch lotus-lander.

The fact is that BC has done far more to hinder and obstruct the economy of Canada than the other way around.  It's borderline treasonous, especially given the fact that were BC to have a huge earthquake, along with a huge hit to its economy, I doubt that the rest of Canada would ever be quite so isolationist, unsupportive and uncooperative in terms of helping fellow British Columbians to rebuild and get their economy back on track.  Too bad the selfish lotus-landers can't see fit to reciprocate!

Actually both HIV and HCV are difficult to transmit, though both are easily transmitted by unsanitary needles. Both can be transmitted from mothers to newborns. HIV is almost entirely transmitted otherwise by one specific sexual behavior  It's very rare that HCV is transmitted through sex and if so, is usually between the elderly with compromised immune systems. Using toothbrushes between persons with bleeding gums might be a way to transmit either. Unwashed hands?  You're confusing Hepatitis A, and perhaps Hepatitis B with the others.


Hopefully as more states legalize Oregon could develop a reputation as a high quality supplier, similar to beer and wine, and market itself as upscale. Get a celebrity on board.

The primary definition of “gun” is: “a weapon incorporating a metal tube from which bullets, shells, or other missiles are propelled by explosive force, typically making a characteristic loud, sharp noise.”
The primary definition of a “weapon” is: “a thing designed or used for inflicting bodily harm or physical damage.”
The one time a weapon -- a sword which is "a 'weapon' with a long metal blade and a hilt with a hand guard -- was wielded in Jesus’ presence, he clearly demanded, “Stop, no more of this!”
Before receiving absolution, the penitent resolves “to sin no more and to void the near occasion of sin.” By its very definition, a gun is not only a near occasion of sin; a gun is an outright invitation to sin.
Christians are called to be peacemakers. Peace is not "propelled by explosive force."
"They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; one nation shall not raise th sword against another, nor shall they train for war again." (Is. 2:4)

Laughable definition.  Where was the discussion of "real science" or "non-real science"?  The ruling was pretty clear, she took it on herself to diagnose her son.  She did not provide a healthy environment to live in.  She did not take any action to address his illness even as it grew more and more serious over a prolonged period of time (2 weeks).  That is plain and simple negligence.  There was no science involved at all.  There weren't any practitioners of any sort involved.  If there was a science of basic parenting (like not letting your kids stay up to the wee hours of the night) then maybe there was fake science, but there is no science in parenting.  I know many parents that bring their kids to the doctor that would fail that parenting science test.


How so?  Can you be specific?


We know light bends.  The point is that the bending caused by the moon is insignificant so when there's a total eclipse, the sun's UV rays are blocked by the moon and do not get to us on earth.  Light bent by the gravity of the moon has nothing to do with damage to your eyes during a total or partial eclipse.

Yeah, the visible spectrum is relatively small.  You've just mastered that concept in 8th grade science class.  Congrats.


And at various times over the centuries things on one local church have been considered SACRAMENTS, while in other local churches they may have only been considered what today would term "sacramentals", or even wouldn't exist at all.  Some of the eastern church's still have a more fluid view of what is considered a SACRAMENT.


The epidemic of opioid toxicity and death is an ongoing catastrophe.  However, despite the finger pointing at medical providers as being the primary cause, in actuality the main driver of this disaster is the misuse of this dangerous group of medications.  I see patients everyday with very real chronic pain who gain some relief and improved quality of life through their proper use of opiates but are being abruptly takeoff of these medications as providers fear the ongoing demonizing and government over-reach into their practices.    We need to focus more on the misuse of the medications, seeing that these dangerous pain killers stay out of the wrong hands and do a better job of educating the public.  Such an approach worked in reducing  the use of tobacco.  Interesting that the sale of tobacco is still permitted by the government even though this highly addictive drug is responsible for far many more deaths each year compared to opioid overdose.

Look folks. There is no way Clinton can take Alaska. And even if she could, our 3 electoral votes have never swayed an election...ever...in history. And none of you really like her anyway. Well, some do I suppose.

Most of us (82%) voted for Sanders. Why not vote for him anyway, or vote for Dr. Stein. Heck, a vote for Gary Johnson. Why not? Let's show the Lower 48 what we think of their selection.


The law does not say that - that is what DOJ counsel are claiming but Judge Robart disagrees.

When Robart asked the DOJ's Michelle Bennett how many foreign nationals of the seven countries targeted by the ban had been arrested on domestic terrorism charges since 9/11, Bennett told the court she didn't know. Robart informed her that the answer was none.

"You're here arguing on behalf of someone who says we have to protect the US from these individuals coming from these countries, and there's no support for that," Robart said.

Bennett replied that it was the president's duty to make that call, and that "the court doesn't get to look behind those determinations."

Robart said that he did have to find if the executive order was rationally based. "And rationally based to me implies that to some extent I have to find it grounded in facts as opposed to fiction."

While I detest Trump, I don't approve of the riots and violence of damaging property.  One video that I saw there were Caucasian men dressed in black and with a covering over their nose and mouth so that they couldn't be identified.  President Trump deserved at least a respectful and peaceful inauguration.  There's going to be plenty of days ahead to create disruption and havoc for his administration.  Today wasn't that day.


Imagine!  Now the journalists tell us it is bad to change your mind or position.  Of course this is nonsense.  To compromise, one must change position.  Perhaps journalists like Robinson are behind all the grid lock in politics.  If any politician agrees to compromise, i.e. accept a final position different from his/her original, in Robinson's eyes the politician has no substance.  Yucky.  Down with the media.

That does not make any sense.   The tax and the dividend are different things, apples and oranges.  The tax is not being used to subsidize the Permanent Fund.  Actually now that the state is planning on dipping into the Permanent Fund it is the other way around - as in oil company credits, aka corporate welfare.

If you liked Rick Mercer's programme, you liked it. If you didn't, you didn't.
End of story. I'm just sick of everything being picked to death.


This is disheartening indeed. Even worse, I fear for what our generations have to go through if we do not unite against change.


If you live in Canada and can afford $29 a month for a newspaper subscription, your life is far better than the majority of impoverished people in this world. I count myself among the privileged to be living in this country and to have the life I do. The difference between you and I is that I can still show empathy towards the human struggle. You make no mention of the other side of the equation - all of those business owners and corporations that were only too happy to exploit these people as source of cheap labour, many of whom were treated unfairly and then had the threat of deportation held over their heads. Now lives will be uprooted and families will be separated. But, as long as you're happy.


The globalist attack on Free Speech and a Free Press begins with this type of "reporting".  Every effort to undermine the Republic is now in play. No surprise this came from the Ivory Tower.

Did you know:  Ms. Zimdars has only held her teaching position at the private college in North Andover, Mass., for 15 months. She said she began writing the list because she didn’t "approve" of the sources her students were citing. (Read: They weren't "right thinking")

Besides, it's all about silencing the opposition with this type of slime. I'd like to know:  Who paid her to do this? How did she become so famous so fast?  The vile stench of neo-liberal BS and SOROS is strong.


A small population in a contained geography does well with the best kind of care -- one on one family, home doctors.  Cultural healers, naturopaths, homecare nurses, health practitioners do well here.  But, a large population spread over a broad continent depends upon clinical, centralized, primary care MDs -- mass productive treatment via clinical diagnosis and specialization.  Furthermore, if high-risk living cultures such as fast foods, soda drinks, processed drugs, etc. applies to a geographically expansive large populated society, that society will inevitably exceed its capacity of centralized clinical care.  This is where the discussion should begin.


There's one in Kodiak and one in Auke Bay. Maybe more elsewhere, I'm not sure. As for the study of Pollock, look to the Seattle Trawl Fleet for relevance.


I have NEVER seen "an OBAMAcare fee" on any restaurant receipt I've been issued. Not sure how I would react if I did.


We are devastated by the soon to be loss of our Archbishop Tobin here in Indianapolis. However, we felt from the time of his appointment that he was destined for greater things. He will be good for the Newark diocese and may be able to repair some of the damange that has been done there


Remarkably oversimplified.  Farmers (and large scale agribusiness) do business in a legal environment provided by their state and federal government.  If everyone is using cheap illegal labor, that is the environment they have to compete in.  There are a number of factors that influence the type of crops a farm can grow.  The choice of crop is not an arbitrary decision that a small farmer can make easily, nor are decisions to automate.  If a small farmer sells out because they can't make a profit without using illegal labor,, who do you think is going to buy their operation?  You seem to think there is some set of farmers that are competing in these same regions and markets that are doing it all with legal workers.

I agree with ericnorstog below.  We need to develop and enforce a robust documented migrant labor system.


The entire team is, probably, greatly relieved.  Only a mindless MAGAt would want to meet 'Rump, anyway.


I'll vote for any party that starts to pull back on taxpayer support for public sector pensions and benefits.  80% of private sector workers fund their own pensions and less than 10% of private sector workers still have a defined benefit plan.  Only 50% of all workers have any kind of employer health benefits and this number includes the public sector meaning only 30% of private sector workers have such a plan.  In other words very few private sector workers have much in the way of workplace benefits anymore.  Therefore, the public sector should be paying their own way like the rest of us do.  What are we creating here a well to do aristocracy in the public sector with the rest of us as serfs.

I completely agree with you.  While I find it difficult and my inherent tendency is to try as best as I can to help others from my years of experience, I also need to realize that not  everyone will believe in or use my experiences to their advantage and some may choose to  go in a completely different direction from what I have learned over the years. There is, after all, more than one way to "skin the cat."
I have, over more decades than I wuld like to count, tried numerous ways to build my wealth. The one and only one that has worked and continues to work over all of these years is owning dividend-paying companies that not only pay their dividends each and every year but that also increase those dividend payments every single year.

I completely agree that responding to CAT or his buddies is time wasted as they will never be open to even considering reality.

I hope to be able, somehow to ignore those posts and not be sucked into responding to these comments too.

Most of it's money?  None of it's money should come from the government coffers, if it can't survive from listener's donations then there aren't enough listeners using it.  Just another government freebee.  Maybe the petroleum industry should pull their funds also, since most public radio supporters are the biggest opponents of the oil industry.


It is naive of us to think that when a company is doing business in any country listed in your comment, that a 'bribe' or 'paying a middleman' or some such has not taken place. If one travels in those countries it is always wise to carry some money in your pocket for the conductor of a train, a service, etc.  For big businesses, It is the only way to sell goods and transfer goods. The rest of the world does not have our ethics in business matters. Thanks to the G&M for this research, but the customs of these countries will persist.


Let's build a theme park on Temple Mount. It will create jobs. Who cares about what jews and muslims think.


Theft by the city..... period........  of course the city won't pay a fair price........they set the taxes on them through the assessments....and they set the market price through the same......... and those properties that they assessed that they want they kept low.
The city needs to buck up and compensate them fairly..........commercial property is super expensive in this city and they want to get it at bargain basement prices,,,,,,,, cut footage off of the remaining property which in turn will devalue what's left ......PAY THEM MORE,  DON'T STEAL IT .

The people who voted the thieves in yet again and voted Berkowitz the tax and steal guy in should be banished.


The problem is the corruption of our electoral system. It's also the mil-spec Psychological Warfare operators such as Robert Mercer, Steve Bannon, and Cambridge Analytica, as reported* this summer by The Guardian. I would expect Russia is a red herring, though that's not to say their interference in our liberal democracy should go unchallenged, though to be fair we must weigh that against our own foreign alien interference in their politics, when and where that actually did occur, even if well-intentioned. Maybe this was actually a reprisal for something we did** first?

Seems Trump has a WH full of his own hires that are leaking like crazy. It's a reflection of Trump's utter lack of leadership qualifications and management skills.


What does your post have to do with what happened?


What do you mean "private lobbying"?     Lobbying is legal in Canada within certain guidelines.


Sections 117-123 refer to people who are brought into the country in contravention of the Act.  If the Minister has decided that they are admissible, then sections 117-123 could not possibly apply.

Try harder.


Like the poor, protesters will always be with us.


I don't know who are the "swimming pool liberals".
I think that as long as people don't vote, a democracy cannot work.  I also believe that the injection of big money into politics is highly counterproductive.  There were bipartisan efforts to regulate campaign contributions.  Citizen United cut off those efforts.  This simply increased many people's distrust of the entire political process and aggravated the belief among many that voting doesn't matter, because money predetermines the outcome.
I agree with you that the Democratic party needs re-invigoration.  I don't know what it will take, since it does not seem that last year's loss made much of an impression on party leaders.


The sour grapes never ends does it.


I imagine the Jews were told this when they were ordered to pack a few belongings and report to the railway station to be herded into box cars by their "friendly" government.

Perhaps Vaughn Glenn should get a clue to why the TSA are shunned like lepers.  I cringe every time I have to fly somewhere. I have flashes of  TSA agents dressed as gestapo, demanding for papers with a bad German accent. This is not the country I grew up in. No, I do not feel safe. It disgusts me that a high school dropout is digging through my bags, leaving "for your safety, your bag was searched" after they wadded everything up and threw back into the suitcase.


He does not think, PERIOD!!


Since when has Trump been concerned whether something is constitutional?


They are 'really' furious that drilling happens at all anywhere in the state.  They want to persuade people that all the drilling is happening under people's homes (like 10 feet beneath the foundation) not a mile or two beneath the foundation at the closest.


I watched the entire speech on TV. Trump never did pronounce Oregon correctly and it seemed no one had the stones to correct him. He doubled all estimates of the attendance at previous rallies, even adding numbers to his earlier statements about the attendees. He also seemed unaware of voting by mail, saying to make sure and vote, "not this Tuesday, but next".
I like some of the statements by Trump. A few months ago he railed against the drug companies.
The Framers knew that voters could get swept away by a demagogue and elect a tyrant. Fortunately, they included checks and balances to keep another king from controlling the country. So I am not too worried about Trump being elected.
But if he is not elected, what are his supporters going to do? As Trump might say, "time to go home to Mommy"?


Good read, thank you.


No, you know the context in which I'm using it. I never said it was a synonym for insult, I meant precisely what it means: attacking the person rather than the arguments. Winters, and many here, never really tackle the arguments. They attack the person, usually Burke.


Apparently you didn't read Ralph's comment, with its closing citation.  I notice, however, that you don't provide citations for your own sarcastic effusions


Is someone actually conducting an investigation?

No investigation will occur unless we demand one.


Get my GED?  Citations?  Do you just rely on insults instead of civil comments.  BTW I have a Ph.D in neurobiology and have been on this planet for 60 years and take the responsibility of voting quite seriously. You sound like you have some growing up to do


The "VA horror stories" are a result of the decades-long cuts that Republicans consistently made to the VA.  The strategy has long been -- cut funds to agencies, and then complain that the agencies are not doing their jobs, so are useless.  When the VA was funded, the services that it provided were very good.  I have a brother-in-law (now 78) who can attest to this fact,.


Agree.

And "the Church" could - each on their own - ask that a Mass be offered for the president's conversion, offer their own work well done for the victims of his administration, offer a skipped meal quietly for the staff that has to work for him.  They could offer their "pizza" not ordered and send the money to some Church in the Philippines.

There are hundreds of things "the Church" can do to help the people of the Philipines.

And most of it isn't the too easily "called for" bully pulpit that so many people here seem to like to point to, without lifting up so much as a Memorare on their own, 7 days in  row, or some other slightly more arduous prayer offering.

Make pronouncements for others to act...forgetting the prayer is the more powerful instrument of action.


Another POV on this is the fact that this type of news makes the current administration at Washington Place look good. Being fiscally responsible and firming up the state's financial resources for a potential recession will be credited, eventually, to the current sitting Governor. Not to say that a lot of this has to do with increased tax income to the state because of all the new developments, new payroll taxes coming in and of course the influx of visitors to Hawaii - from about 6 million to 8 million in the last decade.
It will be interesting to see how the Gubernatorial challenger to Gov. Ige will spin this to their favour.


Miller, your ignorance of the English language never ceases to amaze - try secession and see how it works.


Legislative pay went up 150% from 2003 to 2013.  So that must be 6 times the rate of inflation, and twice the increase in per student funding.


The Communist Emergency in Malaya ended in 1960; Thien's parent emigrated in 1974; so while it makes for a nice drama to spin it as her parents fleeing turmoil, it's not accurate.


Let me guess, you vote NDP.


Actually you've perfectly described what went on in the Christy Clark government. Well done Rational.
BC Hydro was Christy's slush fund...as was ICBC. Now? They're both broke.


When a company has access to a person's entire and up-to-date banking history (as well as other personal information) and is able to deduct payments at the exact same time that grants are paid, it is not an advantage of mere efficient processing. It is an advantage of operating with almost no risk. That is no risk of non-payment and knowing exactly when to stop providing any new services to a captive market (they have access to recipients at pay points and via cell phone). The contract CPS has with SASSA prohibits them from using the recipients' information for anything other than to pay grants.

It seems you haven't been following this story closely? For more details about Net1 and its operations as well as the repercussions of this for recipients, I can recommend the excellent articles written by the author of this article as well as Groundup and amaBhungane.


“It is ridiculous to assert that B.C.’s opposition amounts to a regional blockade against a project ‘in the national interest.’ No province should act unreasonably to block neighbour – or national – priorities. But federalism doesn’t mean that one province gets to tread on the rights and threaten the environment of another,” wrote Mr. Weaver, who in 2013 became the first Green elected to B.C.’s legislature.  “It means we work together to assess and advance the national interest.”

The feds haven't tread on BC's rights here, nor will the pipeline threaten the environment.  Last time I checked there were several million kilometers of pipelines in North America.  And the environment seems to be in pretty good shape.

The last sentence is key to the issue and is why pipelines are in the federal jurisdiction.


Police Commission - another city office that really lacks introspection. Silvert is doing the job he's paid to do. Applaud!!  Kealohas and supporters need to take a lesson. This, another Grube digital guide to an unfolding, long, drawn out, now made for Mangieri TV sitcom.


is that akin to Pelosi's comment on "we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it"?


All these payments were unconstitutional and the insurance companies should be required to reimburse the Treasury to the last penny.  If they have any complaints then they can sue Obama as he was the one that authorized the illegal payments.


What planet do you live on? There's oodles coming on stream. Ever heard of shale oil?


I agree. Stop talking about Russian collusion/meddling in the US elections. It didn't happen. It's more or less fake news.

The reason Ms Clinton lost (even though she got more votes) is: 1. Electoral College, 2. Voter suppression (as article intimates), 3. Low voter turnout, 4. Big money and corruption in US elections, 5. Ms Clinton was just a poor candidate who was backed by too many Hollywood celebrities and she talked too much about 'identity politics' issues and not enough about real bread & butter economic and social issues affecting middle-class and working-class folks.


You could have kept your money in a US bank that may have failed in 2008 - despite the high fees etc our banks are probably the safest in the world - when was the last time a Canadian bank reduced their dividend? or failed? or set up fraudulent accounts ( and no-one went to jail) etc etc- complain if you want- they are the absolute best


There have been double digit declines in this former centre of real estate delusion. Where are you getting your facts? From bottom-feeding realtors?


$$$ for Native Hawaiian traditional culture.  Since when should Quicksilver et. al. ever own, control, or commercially profit in native Hawaiian culture or its intellectual property ("IP")?  The "et. al." hardly excludes the Aikaus as well.  Just cause you Hawaiian, one lifeguard,  celebrity, or pay choke income taxes, you get to steal traditional Hawaiian culture and indigenous IP for commercial enterprise and personal profit?  Surfing throughout the world as such is due solely Hawaii's customary indigenous legacy.  In Hawaii, he'e nalu is KAPU as being the exclusive royal activity of surfing for select ali'i.  Lower ali'i and commoners were forbidden.  Today, kapu is out of fashion and kings are politically incorrect.  However, traditional customary practices are protected by the State Constitution.  Profiteering from and usurping native Hawaiian traditional cultural practices are wrong.  Shame on everybody.


Virtually everything NEEDS to be affected by Trumps budget.  You hogs have had your snouts in the public trough for far too long.


I am firmly pro-choice but this is absolute nonsense and I give the author the benefit of the doubt that she knows it is...

'Research shows that one in three American women gets an abortion at some point in their lifetime. '

Its an old wives tail based on an intentionally deceptive analysis of decade old Guttmacher Institute data


The Liberal government is about to tax small hardworking family businesses even more in the next budget. However, a big corrupt family businesses like Bombardier gets bail outs.  Effectively my hard (& legally) earned tax dollars have been used to support a poorly governed corrupt Company.  This stings.


Great Job Ladies, keep up the hard work!!  Good Luck Thursday


How to make Canada safer from future attacks:

On the one hand, we could make it illegal to access salafist websites, prosecute imams who counsel terrorism and ensure that no one can take up residence in the country except after a thorough security check which takes months.

On the other hand, we could permit anyone who arrives at an unauthorized border entry point to enter the country with only the most perfunctory of checks (shhh no one tell Daesh!) and burble on ad nauseam about solidarity and diversity being our strength.

Clearly the second alternative stands to make us safer!


Hi  just to add my N of one.  I am a family doc in Ontario.  I suture, remove lumps and bumps, have xray on site and will cast simple fractures.  As do the 11 other docs who work in my family health team.  We also have weekend clinic hours and are open till 8pm 4 days per week  ( we stopped fridays bc the patients did not show up after booking, better things to do I hope) .  Several of our docs deliver babies and some of us do palliative care and *gasp* do house calls.  Which btw I get paid less for than I pay a plumber.   Please don't paint us with the same brush.  Every practice is unique but at this time we are all struggling to maintain a business, pay our staff and stay afloat.  The stress is high we are now in the position we get blamed for not preventing disease, for wastung all the health care money and not providing a guarantee like a naturopath does  ( i had a patient tell me this yesterday) but we keep chugging along.  Because we are needed.


Re Judge Garland- Don't people realize that both Obama and Biden held the exact same position as the Republicans when the roles were reversed?  Like Obama said a while back, "elections have consequences" and it works both ways!


Don't confuse events that happen at the same time with a cause and effect relationship.


As a family, we make 5 to 8 trips to the USA each year; from day trips shopping to 2 week vacations in sunny destinations. This year we did the sunny trip in March. It was half as long as usual, and we will likely not go back until maybe next March break. 5 days in Total in 2017 compared to the usual 20 to 30 days in the USA.
For the record, I love the US, miss it, used to live there, would again under the right circumstances.

That said, I now view the USA as a semi friendly nation with an unstable government that views Canada as "Taking advantage of the USA" therefore subject to justified retaliation by the US government, citizens, and a radical and unpredictable leader. Add to that, most of them are unabashedly armed.  Not a description of where I want to spend my relaxing vacation $.

We, quite rightly, have no vote in the US elections. Its their country, they can do what they want.  We can however vote with our $, its our money, and we'll spend it where we want.


He didn't say that Hitler did not use chemical weapons in the battle field.

He said that Hitler did not use chemical weapons. Then he tried to correct himself by saying that Hitler did't use chemicals on his own people, although many of the jews killed by gassing were, in fact, German.


Gardner is "on the fence?" What a joke!

The only thing on his mind is whether $800 billion in tax cuts for the rich is enough, or whether he should push for $1 trillion and hold his hand out for the money that he figures will get him re-elected.

The only one worse is Bennett, who voted against lowering drug prices for his bag of loot from the pharmaceutical industry.

This is oligarchy, folks, and we voted for it in the US Senate.  Let's kick both of these jerks to the curb!


Sure you can write all you want but primary actions should be to get rid of the credit cards and pay by cash or debit.


Its not reasonable when the legislators, school administration etc blow money through it like monopoly money, hiring their friends for very high paid positions. #1 they have a very large amount of administrators, who are paid far more then teachers, who never get laid off cause no one cares about that, they rather layoff teachers to pull on the heart strings to get their way. If it was any other career no one would care, they'd say sad but such is life, maybe cut reckless spending. Find a new career or move somewhere that has opening for your career CHOICE! We will not let them steal more money from us to get their way, i don't care how many people they lay off.


It's a delicate balance which generally isn't explored too deeply here in the West

Such exploration would be quickly quashed as i-phobia.


I'm the only judge of my choices as a free person. That has something to do with individual freedom. What do you have against individual freedom of choice?


There, there,  no need to fight: It was my fault.  I should concluded my original post by saying "Canadian political voting mechanisms at all levels are laughably easy to monkey with."

That would have made it easier to understand for some of the more challenged readers.


Your sympathy is misplaced.  It should be for all the people he took jobs from or the people he displaced that could have lived in his home, and your sympathy should be for the children he put in this bad situation.

Just because he compounded his own problem doesn't relieve him of paying the price for knowingly breaking the law.

If I embezzle a million dollars from a bank, then adopt children, do volunteer work and get named Hawaii volunteer of the century, it doesn't relieve me of paying the price for stealing the money.  In this example, what fraction of the million dollars should I have to pay to make things right by your shaky moral code?


You are comparing a one or two day temperature anomaly over a tiny portion of the arctic to a historical mean temp for the month of January? Just like when the majority of sea level buoys have shown a sea level DECREASE over most areas around Alaska when you claimed the opposite. You are all about spreading FAKE science


What? Of course they are.
The Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the rest of the Amendments are constantly being debated, and the fact that we can't resolve these debates necessitates the interpretation of the Supreme Court.


It's poetry!

There may not have been doctrine about chattel slavery in America. There does not have to be to condemn the Church's inaction. Legalism in the face of such things is cowardice. In this case, no doctrine was as bad as wrong doctrine or worse allowing bad proof texting regarding scriptures on slavery, which were underlined by the belief that the end was near and all slaves would be free anyway. Bad proof texting is not doctrine, but it can be part of it, like those regarding receipt of Communion when you don't believe it is real (mortal sin was not a thing in ancient times) or reading too much into Mark regarding divorce, if you wish to be relevant to this article. Sadly, bad proof texting can become traditional doctrine, which does not render it less bad. Bad proof texting adds authority to bad doctrine and usually no one had the courage to object. Post-Vatican II some of us are willing to clean up past mistakes, which include not ordainig women.


Well here coms the big test, in the next 5 games after Winnipeg we have the Rangers, habbos, Sharks, Kings, and Ducks. No easy points there except the haabeetaunts. Anything less than 3 victories in those games seriously hurts our chances. Should be interesting.

At-grade rail may be acceptable to the FTA as a viable option but it does not meet the terms of the 2012 Full Funding Grant Agreement (FFGA), which calls for “80 light metro fully automated (driverless) rail vehicles.” At-grade rail will require an operator. I also calculate the cost for conversion, using the Honolulu Transit Task Force’s own figures, to be $7.23 billion. Converting, instead, to American designed urban magnetic levitation (maglev) will meet ALL of the terms of the FFGA, keep the system elevated and automated, and enable completion within the available funding (through 2027) of $6.8 billion. Maglev also is the quietest and most environmentally sound rail system. Maglev 2000 technology will allow use of existing guideway by both acquired steel trains and maglev vehicles. It is time to move into the 21st Century.
