Funny how you can go to Bathurst and Lawrence and see they have their own schools, their own community even their own hospitals and nobody goes there and say hey you are Supremacists!
Let's face the fact: unity is only possible with division. But this rule seem to be some but not all in Canada.


Never read the last three paragraphs of a Wohlforth article.  They all end the same way.  With the steering wheel abruptly and illogically turned sharply to the left.


I guess the current generation had to rediscover affirmative action and busing and the like.  Such efforts have been underway for many decades.  Maybe if we didn't throw so many minorities in prison they could take care of their kids.


Assimilation, oh yeah, this mess will bite  Justin on the derriere the next go around. Why didn't we just help these poor souls financially where they were. We and they would have been much better for it.


Cuz it was saying from a friend of mine over the years, who wrote it that way.


61 years old and vandalizing private property, this feller needs a good cock punch and a strawberry yoohoo.


Big companies pay high taxes, high prov and fed corp taxes, high land taxes (much much higher than for residential), payroll taxes, regulatory taxes.  And yet Big and small companies are the ONLY engine of the economy.  Folks need to understand that the prosperity of a country does not come from government, government workers, or government social programs.  It comes from the private companies that produce actual goods which multiplies through the economy to all of us.


If your polls are accurate Sheriff Joe should stay out of it, period.  He is way too old too.  Part of having good judgment is knowing when to hang it up.  He is 85 and it's time for him to hang it up.  He did a great job for all the years he spent in government but he has reached the point where it is time to let go of it and let someone younger, say a 70 year old take over the control.  It's time and it is the right thing to do.  It looks like Kellie is going to win the primary big time.  Let her do it.  Don't split the vote and give it to Flake.  She can win the general too.  Please.  Who wants a senator with the name 'flake'.  It sounds stupid.


Steve you are right, but it is a no brainer to use the blind trust.  Best to err of the side of good governance always, especially when you have a lot to lose.

Wealthy Canadians for the most part want no part of politics and this will keep them away.

Historically the US and UK have both done a better job of taking advantage of successful people from business world.


Thank you for the article.
Dieppe lies between cliffs that totally command the landings.
.
To the east, the "beach" at Puys is a 15 yard wide strip of large stones. It stops abruptly at an overhanging cliff.  There is a narrow cleft in the rock.  It was defended by six concrete pill boxes.  That was the objective for the Royal Regiment of Canada.
.
Many died before they could get out of the landing craft.  In about 15 minutes the unit had suffered 85% killed, wounded, or captured.
.
At Dieppe itself, the tanks couldn't climb the seawall.
There was bitter fighting in the casino.
.
West of Dieppe, the South Sask. Regiment landed in a swamp.  With no concern for his own safety, their commander got them across the Rive Scie bridge and saved their lives.  Charles Merritt, VC.
.
All day a chaplain carried wounded off the beach to be evacuated.  As the last boat was leaving, he got back into the water and walked ashore, because the captured and wounded needed his care more.  John Foote, VC.


As I said above:

He ought to mandate owners of "historic" homes retrofit sprinkler systems as well....since they're getting such sweet tax breaks and all...


They will likely find their way to Canada where that bottomless pit of public dimes will take care of this.


You would think that ordaining less than six or ten or five seminarians per year, coupled with the deaths and retirement of clergy each year, would give these bishops a clue that there just might be, possibly be, a drastic shortage of clerics.  Add in the closings of parishes, schools and Catholic social service agencies/programs, and it actually is laughable when one of them clams there is no shortage.......unbelievable, yes?


That's "President Trump" to you, and his job is not to "identify problems" with existing vetting- it's the job of the agency bureaucrats who should have had that figured out under President Obama.  Glad we could clarify that for you.


You were 'profiled'. Really?

Hand on the gun. Like that's a bad thing? Really?

Well, Boo Hoo.

My roommate was pulled over while driving. Two officers approached him (from both sides of the vehicle). Guns drawn and pointed directly at his face. He was 'assisted' from the car and placed against the (hot) hood. They eventually determined he did not seem to be an immediate threat. Friend: So why did you stop me officer? Reply: You are driving a stolen vehicle. No front license plate(!), and rear plate does not match your vehicle. We ran the plate before we stopped you. Friend: Florida issues only one license plate. You didn't notice it was an out of state plate? Reply: Oh, um, sorry. You're good to go.

Driver as well as cops were white. Does it matter?

Mistakes happen. Police have a very tough job to do. They have to be tough to protect everyone.Yes they are protecting you too.  Sometimes it hurts. Oh yeah. Rocks your scene. Join the rest of us. Someday maybe?


Suicide by cop?  Try murder by cop.  Disgusting.


This is as much a Trump plan as the ACA was Obama's.  Obama promoted the ACA and Trump is supporting this one.   Trumpcare is the right name to use when it is engraved in the annals of history as another of Trump's colossal failures.


This proves that the Democrats were right to choose the stability of the Hilary, woman candidate, over the violent volatility of the patriarchal Sanders camp.


Gun control is an entirely appropriate religious topic.   The pastors, ministers, priests, and rabbis throughout our community need to speak out against gun ownership this weekend.

To murder is immoral.   It violates the Holy Commandments.    And guns are what are being used to break God's Holy laws.

Do you actually believe that Jesus Christ would be in favor of people owning handguns?   Or Assault Rifles??

Please come to your senses.


nnooo the ONLY thing that Junior EVER  discusses with all billionaires id the plight of the Canasian  middle class and how best to help them.,,,,honest!!


SUB-HUMANS are so much easier to deal with. Don't ever have a conversation with one or it might break the 'mold'. Not one of them is worth your time. If it hadn't been for the Negroes and German Jews we might have lost our touch. So how much would you pay to sponsor the disappearance of one you see all the time? Out of sight, out of mind. I'm sure there are a few 'patrons' who think the homeless would make good compost. The 'street herd' word spreads and the panic sets in. Perfect. These statements are of course to shame. Virtually all your information didn't come from your own experiences. "OH but I had one!" You had one. I'd say, read a book on outdoor survival and head up in the forest. Nature would like to introduce how it 'feels' about you. You live in a 'dream world' but it's just not good enough. Good Luck!


Thanks for canceling your return day in Hawaii. Betcha it's an extra day of golf.

Maybe because it would invite some examination and comparisons.


Same thing happened here in Denver a few years ago.


Countries with higher gender equality are more prosperous because they are in the West, which is the most prosperous part of the world. It's fallacious to imply that these countries prosper because of gender equality.

But I appreciated the analysis of why men in some countries are raised to dominate.


Okay. I watched the video too. I empathized with Strickland for a moment too. He obviously has loads of mental health issues and no doubt those issues were being exasperated by the crowd via whatever verbal and or physical threats that began before the filming began. (Side note: I don't go to these rallies even though I support the causes because the masked anarchists with their raw physicality and verbal prowess scare me almost more than the evil-doing being done that we're protesting about). As someone else said up above there somewhere in the comments, toward the end of the video some white folks do try to get verbally aggressive with the camera man, and a couple of other black folk do appear to be physically posturing towards Strickland. These things made me uncomfortable on behalf of Strickland. I wanted everyone to leave him the eff alone, for their sake and his. BUT YOU DONT BRING THAT MUCH AMMO WITHOUT PREMEDITATION! End of story. Everyone--Strickland included--got lucky.


She should recuse herself from this issue.  But then there is no such thing as conflict of interest in Hawaii, is there?


And our illustrious leader, Justin Trudowe says: Canada is the world's first "post-national state." ... 'There is no core identity, no mainstream in Canada'. Seriously - and we elected this guy? You don't speak for me Trudope - that's not MY Canada!


Yes, too many fringe parties along the entire political spectrum could ruin the Liberal party's   chances of a majority government under Trudeau's  favoured ranked ballot system, as could proportional representation.


They probably did not like an expletive "A bunch of XX" in your post.

Those two states are Jordan - the Palestinian Arab state and Israel - Palestinian Jewish state.

That leaves no room for the second state of Palestinian Arabs, currently in the making.

US legislators and especially European legislators do not need to tolerate Palestinian Arabs taking them for idiots and insisting that there was no King Solomon Temple in Jerusalem and similar Islamic propaganda nonsense.


Sorry, that pic was from another ANTIFA "peaceful" protest.


Even my sister, still doe eyed and fawning over Justin's toothy grin and general 'hotness', admits we are seeing the most inept government since the final days of  Pierre Trudeau's reign or perhaps bumbling Joe Clark.  Trudeau has gone a fair ways primarily on his dashing looks but there are limits, even in Canada.

Harper, for all his jack boot, tyrannical ways was  vastly more competent than JT and so were most of his cabinet ministers. Jim Flaherty, O where art thou.


"Our sacred spaces and faith lives should remain free of partisan conflict" -  a bit late for that and besides this publication alongside some others no doubt might be in danger of closure.


Edward and 1 Little Bear:  Your emoticons register sadness with what David Lafranchi said.  But where is the error?


LOL at the commie pointing at Zuma and saying 'those that visited this abomination on us' like he wasn't one of the architects and layers of groundwork for the wannabe dictator to happen. Did we not point to Zim hard enough and shouted out the similarities every step of the relentless decline? Kinda ironic too that he claims on his blog to be an analyst examining threats to South African democracy, when he was so blind to this one. Most of all though, and totally predictable that, as many others he only really started to develop real-world goggles and some semblance of conscience once he's left the cult, and (somewhat like Frankenstein) now does battle with the very same monster he was instrumental in creating..


Not specifically. It's the "language of vagueness". It seeks to take the clear focus off the anti-Semitic activity as a manifestation of anti-Semitism, and redirect it anywhere the reader/listener wants to imagine. If the activity isn't truly anti-Semitic, then there is no problem. If there's no problem, he doesn't have to address it in any meaningful way.


Fine Stradivarii don't usually explode. Trump is like three stooges in one.


No-just an evil capitalist who will sell to anyone.  But at the same time cancel pages where firearms are bought and sold.


Drink 3 litres of water?! You'd better know where the washrooms are!

It's funny that while modern junk nutrition "science" misguidedly pushes over-hydration, drinking fountains are a rare sight these days. The result is "health conscious" adults walking about in public carrying sippy bottles like overgrown toddlers.

If we can't quash this particular piece of junk science, perhaps we can use it to demand drinking fountains for public spaces. From there, we can demand the restoration of amenities like washrooms, shaded seating, clocks, etc., so that public space is less of a barren concrete wilderness.


Well said ctheorist.  The prime ministerial attitude you observe is a serious risk for national security and Canadian identity.


I really agree with you ("athletic supporters" - heehee). When I first started college I blithely went to the gym to work out, only to have a coach tell me I couldn't work out there because that was for the "athletes only."  So our mandatory sports fees went to treating athletes like they're special, whilst 4.0 students like me had to take the crumbs left over.

Sorry, I'm just not in support of athletic programs tied to colleges. It's not appropriate.


Keep on spinning in circles.  It gets you nowhere.


"Your hate and bigotry is showing again, John."

Really?
Perhaps you could point it out to me fedup, cause what I read seems like a pretty accurate assessment of the man/situation.

BTW, just out of general curiosity, how many guns did the government confiscate from you last year?
Must have been a lot to warrant the screen name.


You are projecting once again.  Pretty sure I didn't snivel about how tough I had it...once again, feel free to re-read what I wrote.

So...it's true christian behavior to tell someone they deserved to have their mother murdered?  Here's a direct quote from you:
"Your just full of hate and probably don't have a loving bone in your body. Why you so mean?"
So then in your sadistic world...it is not hateful, it is loving and not mean to tell someone they deserved to have their mother murdered?


Justin Trudeau. Downside is...he'll have to quit his current job...


Tell us about how great blacks had it before the so-called Great Society ruined it for them. Don't forget citations.


Oh joy.  SeaBiscuit, Selfie Boy and crew will offer some sort of tax break for Toronto and the whole country pays


I've officiated with Tom for many years.  A well deserved award.  Congratulations Tom!!


Rep Ward and his GOP colleagues- are fully aware that the federal government has a law that makes it illegal for any grantee to expend one penny of their grant monies on any lobbyist- or on or for any lobbying efforts-   law 101.    All State and the City agencies are too- prohibited in our City Charter and State Constitution from expending one penny on any lobbyist-   it is illegal.   But when HART was created-  the State and City permitted HART to thwart the law- skirt the law-  and  enter into a contract with a federally registered lobbyist-  getting $300k a year to do nothing but funnel that money back into the coffers of candidates for elective office.
Ward and his gang, refused to address this -  they in fact, have never spoke up against this practice-   they could have, if straight shooters -  honest people-  if acting in good faith-  the GOP would have offered an amendment to require the city to stop the paying off of lobbyist with the GET Rail Surcharge monies-


Wow... it's the very same paid Brietbart/Koch bros./Rebel climate change denying poster every single time.

Your counterpoints amount to very little but ad hominem attacks so just stop embarassing yourselves.

Even Drumpf's Interior Secretary nominee knows climate change is real :

And to think hours before the debate and this editorial the available space I could have saved the paper.

"It's very obvious that hard-liners for both candidates already have made up their minds their candidate won the debate and it has even taken place. Although the debates may or may not be a turning point for the undecided voters which remains to be seen."


I do believe that hate and denial of any person's right, is something far less than Liberty! I'm by no means a member of the Borg hive mentality of a Democrat but thoughts further to the extreme right are just as bad. Maybe a bit worse, actually. Free thought and expression is what works, provided a person can put a plan in motion that benefits society. Imprisoning society might work for short term but rebellion will be the ultimate result.


Are you hearing voices?  Because I did NOT say that.


Phil,

Congratulations on taking the first of 12 steps to recovery!

I think everyone should be taxed 100%.  Cassandra and Chris will live forever happily after.


Drain the swamp! Drain the swamp!

Is Pruitt next?

Is there going to be an original member of trumps cabinet left by next year?

So many questions, so little time, for some...


Could do a lot of things Paul but I mostly reflect back at what is directed toward me. This is no walk in the park but I appreciate your comment.


Sounds like a "Jesus" family to me!


Neither you nor the G&M can speak for the Canadian public.  That's what elections are for.  Polls suggest that many Canadians do trust the government, but polls have no official status.  However, if the G&M has, in fact, lost trust in the government, then they should have the courage to say so in print, rather than simply continually sniping.  At least if they came out and said that, their readers would know where they are coming from, and could judge what they write accordingly.


Do you think it's Melania's achieving the American Dream that you like better- or her being a successful and strong woman without Leftists like Hillary telling her she is?  I can't decide.....


I know. I was there back then, sitting through some of those classes. I know I am painting it darker than it was. It is probably just frustration on my part that people come on here and use " modernism" with little idea of how awful the anti-modernist effort became.
I have lived with people who have struggled, who are struggling, to overcome the poor catechesis of the past. There is great faith in many of them that is constrained by people who want to go back to those days.


It is amazing that anyone would vote for a person with absolutely  no political experience.  Why would anyone think anyone could come in with zero experience in politics  and be successful is beyond me.   The Donald is truly an embarrasement.  We will probably lose our leadership role in the world to China and perhaps Russia.  Sad.

I was not a Hillary supporter but I voted for her as at least she knows what she is doing.  The Donald acts like he has no clue most of the time.  What an embarrasement.  A real shame that republicans have no leaders like Eisenhower.  Hell even Nixon and Dole have been rejected.  Pathetic.


Bill, this sounds a lot like a classic case of projecting the characteristics of President "I alone can fix it" onto others - Regards.


Yawn.


AP news feed.

"Lotter said “the comparison is absurd” because Clinton had set up a private server in her home at the start of her tenure at the State Department and, unlike Clinton, Pence did not handle any classified material as Indiana’s governor."

"The vice president’s spokesman, Marc Lotter, said Pence “maintained a state email account and a personal email account” like previous governors in the state. Lotter said at the end of his term Pence directed outside counsel to review all of his communications to ensure that state-related emails were transferred and properly archived by the state."

In my opinion, I believe we can move on. :)


And John01235 - you are the most faithful Disagree poster I have! Tenacity is admirable...

But out of curiousity, do you disagree with my questioning how I know someone who says they know me, or with the White House link to "Signed Legislation"?

Just wondering and thanks!


Get the lardass cops (and there's NO shortage of them) out on FOOT PATROL. Do them AND the community some good.


Well with provinces eliminating the server wage, and minimum wage going up to a "living wage" which will be passed on to the customers, I would say there may be little or no need to tip in Canada soon. No one tips retail workers. Why would the tip a food service worker or a maid? People over tip and shouldn't be tipping for someone to pour them a coffee. In developing countries, set a budget and distribute. Again there is no need to over tip.


Trump played his supporters for uneducated fools.  All of his plans call for weakening and ripping off workign class Americans.  They got taken.


A strong US benefits Canada, Trump is a business guy, let's see what he does. And let's see how the Canadian version turns out.


kpkcrv011:  Are you speculating or do you have a link to provide?

I'm sure there will be some lawyers who disagree, but it is interesting to note that lawyers experienced and knowledgeable enough to present to the SCC and a world-class law school professor likely know more than them, and more than the poster "...censured" to whom I was responding.


In 1974 the gas was more valuable to use to produce oil and that situation remained until October 2015.    The State Agency that determines the highest and best use of our gas for the State's benefit is the AOGCC (Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission).  Until this last October, the AOGCC had never allowed release of the volumes of gas from the slope necessary to support a large gas line project.  Think of that when you reflect on how we spent upwards of $540 million on AGIA and hundreds of millions of more dollars on AKLNG when the State's had not sanctioned the release of the gas.


Well, it's safe to assume she is not a Republican.


Given the city's problems, does Safeway's policy seem sane and responsible? Shouldn't pharmacies be enthusiastically willing to do anything and everything, however seemingly inconsequential, to the keep prescription drugs they sell out of the hands of even *one* kid?

I'm contacting P.A. pharmacies next week to learn their policies. If they take unused drugs back for safe disposal, I'll congratulate and thank them. If not, I'll urge them to reconsider. I'll report my results to Ozias and Downey and press on until I'm happy with the outcome.


Big events hinge on small things said Captain Obvious


I am going to my safe space now.


Any guesses as to why "Civil" has a limit on characters?


Bishops don't attend conferences/courses designed to introduce them to other models of community.  Many of them don't really read anything about this.  And at the USCCB meetings [and I know this for a fact], they don't discuss this in general and few engage even in private discussions about declining numbers of Catholics and other models of either:
1) running parishes
2) alternate communities

They are too tied into "We HAVE to do it this way" [says Who and Why].  Bishops' Synods can come up with alternatives.  Of course, having the laity invited---not as auditors, but as participants is a major KEY.  But the Bishops would have to change their attitudes---sadly, in which it would be easier for leopards to change their spots.


They both admitted Bill Clinton asked her about the "health" of her grandchildren. That is an implied threat. I'm guessing Clinton made the off with their heads gesture at the same time he asked about their health. Wonder if Vince Foster had grandchildren? When someone threatens your family you either do what they say or commit suicide. There are no other options.


When I was a kid they used to claim it caused genetic damage ...


I appreciate that you appear to think media using the pejorative word "cuck" is disgusting.  However....

The Globe ran an article explaining the use of it.

A quick google search shows that Rebel Media has run several columns and a video *using* the word in its pejorative sense.  The latest: "[name omitted] becomes a cuck, apologizes for dressing up as Native at “Lone Ranger” Party."

Breitbart, of course, specialized in it.


This raises an interesting and potentially important question -- are there any tapes? If there are, how many recorders are there, where are they, and are the tapes catalogued and archived?

This is a material issue.

Could you be more obtuse? Mueller is going to flip people who will take him straight into the WH, and quite probably to Trump himself. That is why Trump is so freaked.

And so it begins... Are you paying attention Wynnbag and Trudumb?  This is what happens when you make it too expensive to manufacture in Canada (OntariOWE).  More to come, I'm sure of it.


Indeed, all those questions would have to be worked out. Certainly there are plenty of methods for people to work in good faith to assure that Canadians are properly represented. I did not like Harper's 39 per cent majority. I don't like Trudeau's either. I want democracy!

Harsh but funny ...


The mission of the EPA was always to safeguard the public from environmental pollution and toxic contaminants (i.e. a cleaner, healthier air, water and soil).  I’m not sure how the EPA got “tasked with protecting our people and our environment from the impacts of climate change” as Schatz puts it. That sounds more like an executive directive than might not be around much longer. So, is Schatz asking us to use old Obama policy as a qualifier for the new director? Good luck.


Who is asking for special accommodations here? Transgender people who just want to exist and live their life with dignity and respect? Or the ignorant bigots who can't fathom sharing the bathroom with them?

Not even the bathroom - you're not even allowed to serve in the entire military.

Yeah, special accommodations. Grow up.


He has golfed for about 25% of his entire term in office.  At taxpayer expense.

A lazy slob.  I stand by my first comment.


Women's rights groups gave the green light to politicians by looking the other way during the Clinton sexual harassment trials regarding Paula Jones.  The media further empowered politicians when they chose to redirected our attention to Monica Lewinsky and attacked the judge Kenneth Starr.  Bill Clinton was not held accountable even when he said he didn't know that Oral Sex was considered sex and it depends on what the meaning of "is" is.  This BTW had social impact on our teens.  Some teems decided that Oral Sex wasn't considered sex because of what the president said, which coined a new slang word, "Outercourse".  Oprah did a show on it.  There were "rainbow" parties involving lipstick and males.  It's about time that we held people in power to the same standards we are forced to uphold.


Cuts to per diem are inconsequential. Cuts need to be made to the LARGE pieces of pie, like education & social services. There's the bloat.


Nope...you set up thought restrictions

The Luddites are loose.

Ignore them, they're always wrong.


The US is Canada's umbrella and has been since the late-1940s. Canada knows that and has taken advantage of it by defunding its military to absurd levels.

How can a wealthy and proud Canada starve its brave military to the point at which it can barely assert sovereignty over it vast territory just a few hours flying time north of Toronto?

We should all vote at the same time. I find it astonishing that in 2016 we still have some of the voters eliminating candidates before other citizens even have a chance to vote.


Doesn't sound like "use." The victims were known by thugs to have a large amount of cash. Sounds like an illegal business got raided by its customer base, probably so they could buy coke. These killers want the cocaine, kill thrill, and gangsta reputation more than cash or weed.


It will not happen...“I have seen no evidence of a more communicative and more accountable HPD” during the time she’s been on the commission, she said. “What I’ve encountered thus far is far more a culture of secrecy.”

Sheehan said that from what she understands, new commission members are supposed to receive an orientation with each division of the department to learn about its procedures, protocols and policies. “Despite six months of requests, I’ve never been privileged with an HPD orientation,” she said.

Per the aforementioned,  it's not just Sheehan's opinion/experience, in my opinion, HPD is becoming community with a culture unto itself.  It's either you're in or you're out.  Hence, they conduct themselves in a manner as they find appropriate.  Perhaps we have the creation of a new party in the making or already here.  Sad.


Sad and unnecessary,  the chances are the child did not have a PFD either.   I find that the suspender type PFD to be the easiest to wear.  RIP mother and son.


You’d think that if Trump were as rich as he claims to be that he could pay his own legal bills.
President Donald Trump’s attorneys in the probe of Russian election interference are being funded in part through a Republican Party account with a handful of wealthy donors—including a billionaire investor, a property developer seeking U.S. government visas and a Ukrainian-born American who has made billions of dollars doing business with Russian oligarchs.
☭
The Republican National Committee, through an account typically used for its own legal bills, paid more than $300,000 last month to help cover Mr. Trump’s private legal fees, according to filings with the Federal Election Commission.
The fund has also paid another nearly $200,000 to lawyers for the president’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr.
If you donated to the Republican Party, ...you're footing the bill for traitors.
Winning.


Protest Report, please!


Nothing has changed with you Banquo over the years has it. Still spouting the Church of Toyota gospel. You need to have the title " Reverend" placed in front of your name.

Tell me Banquo, where is your evidence of this Unreliable garb you keep harping on.


Although John Birch himself pointed out below that "Settler media tends to focus on issues and reports on the problems...", it is apparently considered uncivil to mention that there is no inventive for the media or government commissions tasked with reporting on said "problems" to go out in search of those who feel they DID benefit from getting a residential school education, or from having been rescued from abusive homes and put into better ones.

It is not uncommon for adoptees in "settler society" to have fantasies about their birth parents, to imagine that they would have been better off in their original families. And adoptive families turn out to be not that different from "normal" families, some are better than others, it is the luck of the draw.


He bought the island so he can do whatever he likes. When you buy it from him then go ahead and lower the rates to your desired levels. Until then, you have no voting power. LOL


I don't think you've completely considered what your response suggests.
.
it is typically parents who would prevent their kids from doing drugs at home
.
wrt saying grace, it would typically be parents who set this example.  Banning religion from children would require the state to monitor the activities at home .... is that what you suggest?


trump hands everybody tremendous reasons to beat up / accurately report his toxic idiocy on an hourly basis. I imagine he'd be wearing a white hood 24/7 if he thot he could get away with it, and you might see it come Halloween, cos ya know... it's just a costume!
you say the bad guys are a small group, in fact it's his base.
the things Obama said were based largely in fact, he was right.
Socialism? trump is selectively yuge on it and corporate welfare.
Charlottesville was about race and other things righty haters feel bold about now that they have a fascist / racist ally in the White House / high offices encouraging them. that's how trump keeps his favorable ratings from totally disappearing, plenty of sly smiles, winks, nods, and red meat to the zombie sheep. did you have yours for lunch today?


Just remember the growth of the alt-right in the US and Europe is a direct result of huge illegal immigration. Canada has been largely immune from this movement but that will change if we get thousands of illegal refugees.

MSM has a huge egg on its face when Trump talked about an incent in Sweden and the Swedes mocked him only to have migrants rioting the next day.


This person is a nightmare...non-white person buying her work?  Never.  Oh poor me...getting all this commesse from aunties and non-aunties?  And those awful whities and their bah blah blah blah... What a horrible person.  Anyone brown or white who indulges her "art" is a proud member of the sheep.


Since a real 18% jump in any disease in a decade is extremely unlikely, the more likely explanation is that diagnosis is increasing. If people not getting treatment is an issue, then this stat (if accurate) could actually be considered a positive sign.


I had the same thought. That part of the story was kind of buried at the end but I think it's very curious.


They just don't get it.
But wait until the day when Trump is impeached and ousted either with overwhelming evidence against him or after a major scandal. I'll bet my boots that once he is out of the WH NONE of his current defenders will ever admit voting for him or supporting him. C'est la vie.


Friendly amendment: the 'target' date would be PRE-1964 - you know, when all of them 'uppity folks' got assured of rights the majority took for granted.


That he did not cite his other predecessor, Cardinal George, speaks volumes.  Cardinal Bernadine actively resisted the Republican Party's goal of co-opting the pro-life movement without quite saying that this had already occurred.  Today, it should be family wages, not the death penalty or nuclear war, which defines a consistent ethic of life.  This hits the libertarians where it hurts, even though most of us prefer some type of tax credited income (like a negative income tax) to categorical programs.

Making sure all families are financially well is simply more solidarity than some pro-lifers can take, since they are more into forcing conservative sexuality onto women than protecting life.  Theirs is a consistent ethic of moralism, in solidarity with all the moralists before them, rather than with the poor or with sinners.


Or, passionate about the cause.  There are many people who would be willing to take the survey multiple times to skew the results in their favour.  The survey results are useless for any kind of statistical data.


I didn't see anything in the article to support the conjecture that Lamborn bought his stock as a result of insider knowledge,  only that he is one of 495 representatives in Congress and he happened to buy stock in the company.  Pretty thin gruel.


Ed, I agree with you 100%, with both your sentiments and your candidate choices. You yourself are a good example of civil, thoughtful community engagement, even (or especially) when I don't agree with you. You are absolutely right that a change in political tone needs to begin at the local level. Looking forward to seeing you at more community forums.


Start pedalling.........


You should get a quote on what it will cost to swap out for new batteries and factor that into your $2 fill up cost.  Batteries have considerably lower life than a gas engine, so don't be fooled by the relatively low cost of charging.  You have to factor in the life span costs.  Sure the govt gives you a break on the original cost of buying the batteries, but no subsidy exists for the 2nd or subsequent go around.

Currently we have a fleet of battery powered drivers and drills for work.  When the battery goes, which is maybe 2 years, we throw away the tool and buy a new one.  Why the cost of replacement batteries is almost equal to the cost of a replacement tool with new batteries.  It just does not make economic sense to buy replacement batteries.

I see a whole slew of junk electric cars, simply because no one will want to replace the batteries.


"Liberal": is that, like, a conservative who can read?


The focus remains on the original issue too.  The new focus has both highlighted the original and obfuscated it.  If you read the article it is front and centre.

Taking a knee has awakened many.


His lack of judgement and self-control as a politician was breathtaking. I can't imagine how anyone could possibly be inspired to pay heed to whatever he says or recommends going forward.


What a terrible example of corporate entitlement!   Delay these bonuses....ridiculous.......they should be cancelled immediately.  Any managers at Bombardier before the provincial and federal bailouts don't deserve any monies for their poor performance leading up to this situation and any managers brought in subsequent to bailout funds should be realistically rewarded since they decided to join a "chronic bankrupt government charity case".  Pierre Beaudoin being given any money is pathetic, and if it weren't for his family's dual-class share structure, he would have been fired years ago.  This mess is 100% his responsibility.  Unfortunately, this dual-class share structure continues and in turn, the Beaudoin/Bombardier families ability to blackmail our governments, and in turn, taxpayers.  Too bad that Ottawa and/or Quebec cannot "nationalize" this economically important enterprise and end this corporate governance blackmail.


And sadly you have no understanding of the income tax act.


In our civilized society, Khadr, aged 15, would NOT have been allowed to buy tobacco/smoke, buy alcohol/drink, drive/vote etc. ...

Just think on our reaction if, at his young age of 15, an adult had tried to have consensual sex with him... ?

Our law would have deemed him not capable of making such decisions for himself...
Yet  look at the what we let happen to a child... Selective morality?? He deserves the cash... Surely... !


I’m totally amazed to discover that OLCC is not getting any money from the distillery tasting room sales  when they are doing a 100% tax on the wholesale cost of all the other alcohol.

How did that happen?

Didn't all the other distilleries who have to pay that 100% markup complain?


All of the hysteria from the left about starting impeachment proceedings immediately is one example.

The two previous Presidents who were impeached actually did something first to start impeachment.  The only thing Trump has done is win the election.

Colluding with Russia?  Still not one shred of evidence of any wrong doing.  Obstruction of justice?  No evidence other than Trump expressing a "hope."  No one in history has been impeached over expressing a hope.

The Left's constant banging of the impeachment drum is the exact thing Dems worried Trump would do if he lost.  Refuse to recognize a duly elected President and threaten our democracy by doing such.

The Left likes to scream that conservatives (or Trump supporters) are Fascists, yet the left are the ones using the tactics of Fascist Brown Shirted Nazi's to shout down conservative speakers or conservative student groups.

We may look back at this shooting as a Ft. Sumter moment when things turned bloody in this civil war.


How about we do this the old way, since you lefties
only believe in a democratic vote if you win. We
load up and start shooting you. That help you
to realize what's about to happen.


Don't expect much from the Senate- especially Valley legislators who have been telling their constituents the lies they want to hear about "right sizing government" and balancing the budget with unidentified cuts. I think anyone who leveled with voters on fiscal realities in the Mat-Su would have no chance of winning a legislative seat.


I think at least they could defer the deportation until his kids reach 18 or graduate from college.


Yes, where was he when Black Lives matter was marching in the streets and screaming "cops are pigs, fry them like bacon", (or something like that). I heard crickets from the former President. How about the riots at Berkeley , when they rioted to protest a conservative speaker (to prevent her from speaking). Media was fine with that, and where was the former President? It seems like protests by one group seem to be "OK" (freedom of speech), while a conservative is not allowed to even speak. Are you ok with that?


When public opinion is intentionally swayed before proper procedure, rights of the accused are deprived. In my diocese alone, 3 accused priests established their innocent. Yet, the inflamed emotion of the public destroyed the ministries of those 3 priests.


I wish Trump luck, I really do. I don't particularly care for his world view, or the truth that he has survived by clever bankruptcies, simply refusing to pay his bills, and a lot of braggadocio, but, he's the pick.  I think probably the worst thing he could do is to try to fund this expansion on the backs of people who have already paid through their teeth, with jobs, wages and benefits. Even if he was able to restore the manufacturing capacity of the US, as it was in the 50s and 60's, he would be faced with a generational deficit of unbelievable proportions, i.e. total debt and obligations in excess of 250 Trillion dollars. It was their politicians who stole the money and left the country bankrupt in the false belief that they would always have growth, and now, many of the same people who have been gaming the system for years are back in control (i.e. Goldman Sachs etc). How he will pull it off is questionable, at best.


“A lack of an integrated health-care system, poor education by provincial standards and a largely absent community infrastructure are uniquely positioned against the backdrop of colonialism, racism and social exclusion….”
In my opinion, the coroner correctly identified the missing elements in the community needed in order to make it effectively functional, but to suggest the primary causes are "colonialism, racism and social exclusion" is rather disingenuous and a tepid interpretation of why isolated Northern reserves such as this one are in such a dismal situation. I would expect that there are enough well paid politicians, bureaucrats, FN chiefs and elders, and those who prospering from the "Aboriginal Industry" who can come up with a plan to help these people....throwing more money at this issue is not the solution either....it's time to stop the blame game and tippy toeing around the inconvenient truth....


I understand.  I feel the same way about Liberal Gov'ts.


A - Canadian history


That’s the claim


You assume so many things
first - that history will repeat
second that Trump is a politician with something to gain form NAFTA??? Explain that one to us genius. Trump isn't a politician and business person and has nothing to gain from NAFTA>
The US economy is the global economy!
The US economy is now deeply diversified compared to the 80's,

and you simpletons don't get it.
You  have nothing to offer the US but burkhas, terrorists, and deadbeats


What we've got here is a colorful and extremely one-sided story telling of the events. While there may be racism involved in the leasing decision, nothing presented here other than the narrative, stands as proof. After all, the restaurateurs were able to secure a lease in the beginning.

This article should be somewhere between the opinion page and the food section. The description of the food made me curious about Western African food so that was done well at least. As for objective reporting, I don't see even a hint of that here.


Can anyone here explain what the booing of Team Canada at the half-empty Bell Centre in Montreal tonight was about ?


Is there a cure for stupid?  50% of the fires were caused by people.  Ditches really work well when glowing cinders are blowing 100 yards or more.


creepy comment


Mr. Rhyner: I don’t trust opinion polls…don’t take these letters to the editor as such. I see what you see though…lots of letters that might not be regular, approved, right-wing conservative. However, your notion "that liberals are well organized in using the newspaper to produce countless letters to the editor supporting their position or candidate” may just be paranoia. Looking at the rather simplistic pro-Trump letter today, the simplistic pro-Trump comments (the simplistic Trump campaign platform) and considering his base is working class White guys with likely limited writing skills, there are good reasons why Mr. Trump‘s popularity is not reflected more in these letters (and comments sections).


She was a lovely woman - always smiling and so happy in her job. This is almost impossible to believe. Rest in peace, dear lady.


One of our many bishops demanded that theology be taught in Latin in the Seminary  .  Not only was there no Latin going on neither was there theology  happening  .  And most students had all they could do to speak English ( a second language  for some .  )
Worse yet the instructors were not trained in Latin itself nor in how to teach it  .
I would be astounded if Latin were spoken in seminaries  .  Were it so I'd find that appalling!


Boots, read the paper once in a while. Trump has not cancelled ObamaCare yet. He has not built a wall yet. Unfortunately, he has people like yourself that complain and lambast his efforts to get things done.
You need to accept the fact that he is our POTUS and you need to climb aboard and help to build this country instead of tearing it down with accusations and silly sarcasm.


This wasn't very patriotic for someone whose first name starts with the first three letters of Patriotic.


Glad to hear the Ducks are working hard again, but hospitalization is obviously taking it to the point of negative returns. Coaches should evaluate where each player is at, then design individual workouts that are challenging for that individual rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Then require each player to have a teammate verify their completion of each part of the individualized workout. Not doing the workout, or lying for a teammate is grounds for disciplinary action. When my son was in the Army, his drill sergeants would tell slackers and liars (forcefully, and nose to nose!) "Why would you cheat yourself out of the improvements you can make by doing all the reps, or the personal integrity it builds to tell the truth?" It was an approach that worked for most, though they have creative disciplinary measures perhaps not available outside of the military. Still, if done right in front of the team, it will have an effect.


Stan, you forget that 99.9% of the HNL public don't know and/or could care less about any current event news other than who UH plays for football or when the next Mariah Carey concert is scheduled.


You mean Medicare for all?

Yes, by all means!  Thank you!


Let's see, in one corner you have Donald J. Trump, the greatest negotiator in the world.  In the other corner you have Trudeau and the Crying Freeland.  This one is over before it even starts.  A first round TKO by Trump.

And that's great news for Canadians who will be freed from the protectionism, regulation and favoritism that is suffocating the Canadian economy.


He was a medic saving lives. Giving a lotto 6/49 payment tothe killer of an unarmed man is a national disgrace.


Concrete Finishers are skilled - no doubt.  That doesn't take away from the immense training and certifications that a Mix Driver has to go through learning the trade.

Furthermore, my understanding is that generally the laborers that are picked up don't even have to be drug tested so you end up with folk that could not pass a piss test and drive a car much less a 90,000 turning burning cement mixer.

Say I'm wrong - either way, we are all in this together!  Unions unite!


This is the funniest thing I have heard since Halifax declared the donair the official food of the city.


Which is dust, we hope.


His opinion is  not based on facts. Not entirely.     He provides links to some  far out  left field articles written by people with his world view.  CNN is not credible news anymore.  Their reporters have more facial expressions than Jim Carrey in "The Mask"  Good comedy, not good news.

I don't sling "mud".  You did though when you inferred people on this forum are racist. I happen to like former President Obama as a person. He was not a good President, but I believe he is a good man. Jimmy Carter was a good man, still is. His party shunned him for years  as he was  politically bad luck. Both men did more damage to their own party then anyone on the other side did.  Under Obama, Democrats lost more seats in Congress, state governorships and state legislative seats, finally culminating in losing the White House. Jimmy Carter had a similar result in 1980 when the  Reagan "earthquake" shook many long term Democrats from power including our own Warren G. Magnuson.


There are definitely people who know how to make the most out of $1400 per month.  Let's just say I'm working abroad and want to come back for a break from work and live with my parents and don't work.     If I'm entitled to $1400/month, this could be a pretty good vacation destination.


For once in your life you're correct! Actually thanks to Obamacare, many GOOD doctors went private and went back to the good old days where you just pay cash directly to the doctor! For the rest, well, Dr. Jack Kevorkian is a suitable choice to help put you out of your misery. LOL

Eric the Blue? Please.


Mr Gruening really ought to provide facts and figures as regards his contention that freight costs into/out of  Juneau could drop and fresh fish shipment out could be part of that. Pieces of the EIS speculate that trucking fresh fish out to yet undeveloped markets could result in reduced freight costs. could, could, could.
 Barges and air take millions of pounds out already, all over Southeast. The fish going south on the barges - refrigerated, frozen, and canned -is figured to reduce freight costs for everything overall by something like 10% as it means they aren't traveling so empty.  And the barges already provide a significant cost savings  to air freight  with almost zero chance of interruption .
Mr Gruening insults his neighbors here in Juneau as well as our Southeast neighbors  with this diatribe. We do not need this silly road. We need decent ferry service  and good barge service with regular air service. It fits the area .


Statement (1) then lead to the question of why the author of the G. of Matthew, writing after the author of the G. of Mark & likely including much of his material, would waste his expensive & limited ink & papyrus to include an exception clause if it wasn't a notable point that the former gospel merely took for granted.

Statement (2) doesn't account for the overwhelming majority of English translation bibles that translate porneia as adultery or infidelity, since the Greek words used to translate the Hebrew words for adultery and infideltiy in the Septuagint translation of the Hebrew scriptures are moicheia & (wouldn't ya know...) *porneia*. The Septuagint was more than likely the version of the Hebrew Scriptures cited by the gospel authors.

Statement (3) begs the question of the morality of divorce & remarriage by presuming that Jesus made an absolute prohibition that included every form of d&m, when the context indicates that his response was specific to a lax practice of divorce.


"Perhaps we do need reminders so that we do not repeat mistakes made then."

That's a good idea.  Put Confederate statues in a gallery or a museum, with explanatory notes about the history of the war and slavery beside it.


Pretty sad when you have to update "the paper of record" with info from a tv news source.


Failed in parenting? His daughter is a college student and doing well. Don't you think it's more possible that at 19, she's just your typical ungrateful kid who thinks she has all the answers. You must not be a parent, huh? LOL...


Thanks  for this post great https://armasdefogueo.com.co


I said no such thing Phil.  The facts are that US owners and consumers gott the henefit of low wage immigrant workers.  And even at those wages itt was providing a better  income for manual labor immigrants.

I think the US needs an immigration policy it can enforce and meets the needs of our nation.   I'm fine with a refugee program as long as it's enforceable.

The question of people living here already, some for many generations, deserve something more than the back of our hand considering our complicity and benefits from their labor.   There is no ethical 'one size fits all ' answer.       We disagree and that's fine.   But Congress needs a decision and twice the hard line faction like youself blocked majority efforts to pass reform.


Evidently “ADN” finds no fault with Miss Hillary.  I’ve yet to see a negative piece on her.  Fair and balanced reporting?  Come on guys!


Watercraft - boat, PWC, surfboard whatever - that are contrasting colors to the ocean are much easier to see.  I was aboard a Coast Guard Cutter a number of years ago; we were conducting a search pattern for a missing motorized kayak and were practically on top of it before we could see it.  It was dark blue.  I can't over-emphasize the need to file a float plan; leave it with a responsible friend or relative so if something happens it'll be a lot easier for responders to search for and find you.  I'm in the Coast Guard Auxiliary; local flotillas can provide much more information.


Its the racist Democrat left trying to rewrite their own inexcusable racist history that continues to this day


diverdave,  An immigrant is simply a person who migrates from one country to another, whether according to the rules of a country or not.  "Illegal entrant" is not applicable to most of the undocumented immigrants in Hawaii because they didn't cross the border without being processed.  Even you must agree that this is true.
 They came to Hawaii under a visa and simply overstayed, which is not a crime.  You claim they are a "cheater" and a "fraud," but those are only your terms that have no legal foundation.  2/3 of the adult undocumented immigrants have been in the U.S. for 10 years or more.  They are living in our communities, though their neighbors may not know their immigration status.  Undocumented immigrants have a crime rate that is 44% below that of native-born U.S. citizens.  Trump claims to  deport the "bad hombres," but he is being indiscriminate and is deporting the "good hombres" as well.  The Kona coffee farmer is a good example.


No insurer would touch it.  It would cost more for the work involved in setting up the policy than they would ever realize in revenue.

Cyclists create very minimal damage in society, especially compared with cars.  And any damage, which mostly impacts the cyclist themselves, is more than offset by the improved health outcomes we get from greater numbers of people cycling.

The idea that cyclists need to be licensed and insured comes solely from a collective desire to punish people who do not fall in line with the dominant force in society.


He who represents himself in Court has a fool for a client.  The only thing more foolish is to think internet law has any local application .
See ORS 18.225 et seq and the local Lane County Circuit Court rules.  Review the  difference between small Claims judgments and those where real money is involved.


Not sure what your point is?  Are you saying we should go back to teaching drivers education and ignore the issue about sexual consent?


No, but just because I vote one way or the other, doesn't mean I'm not going to call Bu11shit when I see it. Maimane decided to pen some horse manure for us to swallow, I'm spitting it right back in his face. Just because I speak out doesn't mean I'm going to stop participating in elections. What is wrong with you man!


The police and others who believed they were helping a homeless family should be applauded, not criticized. Yes, sometimes helpful people wind up helping those who arguably do not deserve it. So what? The net effect of their kindness is still positive.


bycatch, I dont feel I failed at anything ever to include this link. If you read the entire article you would see how high property taxes equal out the difference in taxes compared to other states taxes. This link is in reference to a total tax burden not just state income taxes that so many love to toss about to Alaskans as a free tax ride. Again I say taxes are taxes. This link does the math for you. My research is just fine.


It is exceedingly rare for someone who steps down from office for "family reasons" to actually be leaving for family reasons.


Candy Rohrer, your sentiment is spot on. Whether I agree or disagree with Paul Seaton, he is exactly as you describe him to be, and a good number of our legislators could and should take lessons from him. Pete Kelly is at the top of that list, but there are several "close seconds."


My guess is that the average voter paid very little, if any attention to the fact that Hillary and the Democrat leadership were rigging the primaries........although some of that information did start to leak out toward the end.  And once Obama became a lame duck, the Clintons were once again the face of the party  and the upstart Bernie was not playing by the establishment rules.


"In the report, Jacobs doubted whether the city will have rail ready to operate by its latest December 2025 deadline, and it flagged continued uncertainty over the project’s largest outstanding construction contract — the final 4.3 miles of guideway and eight stations....

"Responding to the Jacobs report, Robbins said its scheduling doubts are being addressed with a new strategy...now HART plans to bid the utility work under a separate contract and start the work in March."

Time will tell. If HECO and the legislature are fearful of utility problems then these problems will be solved at the very start of the second phase. The cost may be much less and take much less time than was feared and the finished utility work will speed up progress in construction for the rest of the rail. 2025 is in the distant future and Jacobs is just being alarmist here.


The researchers might want to find out how many of the suicides were young blond males during the years of the Scarborough Rapist hunt... The inquiry into the failures of the hunt for the Scarborough Rapist indicated that the police stopped looking for him because the attacks had stopped, and they believed that it was possible the perp (too much Blue Blood) was dead.

According to the MR. JUSTICE ARCHIE CAMPBELL review, there were about 3,000 suspects in the crimes later attributed to Paul Bernardo. If a small fraction of those 3,000 suspects received a hint from behind to "don't jump" while standing on the subway platform during the stress of a rape investigation, there is reasonable chance that some would find it to be a suggestion to jump.

I am curious as to whether the number of subway platform jumpers decreased after the Toronto Transit police constable service was disbanded for a few years?


Without specific deadlines in place for development, the state simply ends up with chump change.  At least these bids show that ConocoPhillips is all talk when it comes to demands on "long term fiscal security."


Maybe you might think about giving it a rest. The man has paid for his crime and moved on to a better way.


Well, God made people, so He made science. Why does God and science always have to conflict? Only bad science conflicts with God. He warns people about that bad science.


True.


Whether your Congress member is liberal or conservative it never fails that when money pops up in the federal budget that benefits your state you will "announce" it in a way that suggests you should get some credit for it.


Well, not all of us are fools.

So, you think stained glass windows are supposed to make you think the saints and Jesus are walking in the windows?

You think Picasso really wanted you to believe things were shaped like that?

Get real, BROohthor!


What is inherently wrong with addiction?  If a person receives relief (either real or placebo) from pain symptoms (real or imagined) from pharmaceuticals that are purchased legally and used under medical supervision, what's the problem?

If they acquire and use pure pharmaceuticals legally, we have eliminated or reduced costs for police, courts, health care, property crime, etc.  So, what's the problem?


Saudi Arabia is America's second best friend in the Middle East and Canada needs to suck up to America in our never ending quest for more money , so we follow along kissing the feet of these Isis loving barbarians.


That's pretty silly, isn't it?  Just so everyone's clear, what's your definition of "address the issue?"  Sort of hard to take your approach seriously when you don't offer a single, specific idea that would be more effective than government following the rules they should already be following (i.e., what would have stopped this killer from getting a firearm).


In the movies that's true.   In real life a broomstick can cause "death or serious physical injury", which justifies deadly force.


This is getting REAL old, REAL quick.

All of our personal information has already been hacked thanks to mega corporations and the government.  How many confidential records have already been compromised?  Millions upon millions.  Russia already has most of our voting identification, North Korea has our military secrets and the National Security Agency codes are open book.   About the open people who can't get information is when we try to get our own medical records and do not have a release of information form on file.


so, the department spokesperson reports ferguson's mother had nothing to do with his hiring because she wasn't listed as a reference.  come on, who do they think they are fooling.  they need to be investigated.  let go by HPD, not recommended by HPD to be hired.  Lawyers for this girl must be drooling at this case.  This is a mess!


Milo is an openly gay man purports to be a Catholic and does part of his hate routine in drag.  The Cardinal Newman Foundation should have itself in vapors if such a character comes to a Catholic university.   Milo might corrupt the students and turn them gay.


If you are concerned with fuel consumption, become an anti cruise ship activist. As we watch them pass out the strait all summer, they are burning 4 tons of bulk an hour!  For only pleasure...


Neither do the players. Hands up don't shoot.


What do you expect from a guy with no qualifications to lead anything?


Even with special needs faculty support there will still be disruptions when a student needs to be removed from the classroom.  It will be every other student's focus instead of academics.  Disruptions due to behavioral issues taxes an ASD faculty that are already teaching everything under the sun with a poor student/teacher ratio now.  More stress and the rest of the class suffers.  It is a proven fact that focused students, without interruptions, learn at a better and smoother pace.  Is it fair to handicap the rest of the students at these four schools?  I think the pressure on the special needs children will also be extremely difficult.  Their environment will no longer be set up in the best manner for their needs.  This move helps none of the children that ASD is supposed to be doing their best for.


Well, at least you finally agreed with me on something LOL.


Not much, they both have the same genius for avoiding working for a living. I would agree that street cops have a higher commitment to being thugs, but they both have a similar commitment to physical fitness, apparently.


exactly. but both sides agree that the dog got loose and that fact is key. a person unfamiliar with the dog, much less a pitbull, won't know if an approaching dog is friendly or not. a wagging tail does not necessarily mean the dog is friendly. everyone knows pit bulls are capable of causing grave injuries and who would want to take a chance if an approaching pit bull is friendly or not?a loose chihuahua is a different story. sure the bite would hurt but it's not going to kill you and besides you could probably punt it away 30 yards if you had to. so a loose pit bull? cholo is going to have to side with the officer on this one as much as cholo hates trigger happy officers.


Celebrities like Elliot generally have no problem with a fan taking a selfie together with them.   There is nothing at all wrong about doing that.   Elliot certainly does not seem in any way unhappy, in either of the photos in this article of fans taking selfies with him.  In fact, he seems to be in very good humor about doing it.

People here are making way too much out of this privacy issue.   The fact of the matter is this: Elliot would not have his fancy home in Malibu, or his 220 acre property here in Oregon, if it was not for his fans that have watched his movies and TV shows throughout the years.   He owes quite a debt to them.


By the way, "fiscal" policies refer mainly to tax and spending policies.  I don't think by any stretch of the imagination you can refer to our current tax regime in the U.S. as attributable to the Democratic party.  You seem to be of the conservative ilk who feel our taxes are too high.... they're not, either historically compared to prior U.S. tax regimes or compared to other developed nations.  Our Federal taxes are actually unsustainably low.  Too much of the total pot is Social Security and Medicare taxes which are earmarked for specific programs.  In particular, corporate Federal income taxes have been consistently shrinking as a % of total Federal taxes for decades.  But corporations are people, you know.  Except when it comes to paying taxes.  And dying for your country.  And being executed for serious crimes.  And being capable of empathy, charity or kindness.  But other than that, yeah... they're pretty much people.


The story here is you better hurry and file your complaint within the time allowed, or the drones will be next, scanning your neighborhood without prejudice.


Slashed (federal) costs mean less income for entities and less jobs in aggregate...by formula: GDP= federal spending + non-federal spending + net exports. What you think saves money at the federal level, COSTS YOU MONEY. WHY? because:there will be less income hence fewer jobs!. (Refer to the formula, if you have an inkling of brain power.)


Thanks for the tremendous analogy Dante1969.  It's a mess because 2 years after promising legalisation, we are headed to year three.  We don't need city councils sticking their big noses in.  Also, provincial jurisdiction is ridiculous.   The system should be the same across the country.


No. Mr. Bley is NOT calling you or any other poster names.

He is characterizing Trump and his white-nationalist supporters in a negative way, which SHOULD be protected speech anywhere, here included.


No, I do not.  As a matter of fact that waste is part of the reason I am against government run healthcare.  That being said, the military budget has been cut too much to satisfy liberal sensibilities.


MandiGoodly:
your comment of How about we just let the banks assume all the risk, no more cmhc insurance, and let them set their own guidelines? let's do that, let's go back to 1880 where the banks assumed all the risk took all the profit and when things went south they closed the doors and told the depositors we don't have your money your are out of luck, starve!


Chiefs issue  a threat to Trudeau. They know a wuss when they see one.


Settle down.  Nobody is honestly talking about eliminating our universal health care.  The talk is about improving it by providing some capitalism.  A hybrid system can work and it can be even better than we have now.  It just needs to be crafted properly and carefully to ensure that such a system improves for all, and that access isn't improved for some at the expense of the poor.  It can be done.


Fair enough, if I pay more taxes under a new plan, I will gladly appear in public to protest.  Sure hope they get rid of the death tax!!!!


Sher,
Distortions of historical facts have been a trademark of yours. Segregation or apartheid was introduced in South Africa by the Afrikaners in 1948, long after the British granted nominal independence, while creating the Union of South Africa in 1910. and the country became fully independent in 1931.


Perhaps the worst word in the annals of business and public life is the word strategy. There is only one thing true about strategy and that is like terrorism, in the history of the world, no strategy has ever really achieved its stated aims. Grand plans do not work. National strategies, especially in country as diverse as Canada are the worst of the worst. I do not understand why the Globe wastes precious column inches on this stuff. Slow news day perhaps. And the print media wonders why it isn't making any money when it publishes this drivel. Oh wait, lets have a national strategy to use taxpayers dollars to help support the print media so that it can peddle more of this pap. Or let's not.


Awesome!


Nooooo, Somewhere.  You mean groping p___y tRump don't you?


Exactly what race based welfare are you speaking of? I know of no Alaska race based welfare that YOU are paying for, considering that most native Americans go through native corporations which tend to take care of their own.  This includes education, and medical.

Or is it that you're jealous that they have their own hospital? I mean seriously if you feel you'd do better in the lower 48 feel free to move anytime.

Not to burst your bubble but as a fact majority race on welfare are Caucasian Americans.  Due to the fact that majority of the populace in America is, you guessed it, white! (Eye rolls)


Gradual is good. It gives people time to adapt (so long as "gradual" doesn't turn into lifetimes). It also gives time to solve problems that crop up with the replacement.


This is the smartest comment here. There's only one taxpayer and only one pool of money. Why send tax money to the federal government for re-distribution to the provinces? The federal government should get out of funding healthcare altogether and let the provinces tax directly for the needed funds - with a proportional reduction in federal tax.


This article is pure propaganda


Thank you.  I could not keep silent on this.


You and tedwilson2 are finally removing the blinders...now smell the sulfur!


Thanks for the history lesson, Mr. German-hammer.  Now go back to your comfy confines and keep writing more articles about your new president's ADD affliction. His memory and conscience will need to be rebooted every day.


Lt Governor Mallott apparently won't be happy until every non-Native Alaskan leaves the state. And why, Byron Mallott, is not putting into statute that Medicaid Expansion will be funded not a dedication of funds and thus unconstitutional?


Yes, of course.


Wow!  Nice she was seen quickly and glad you are happy and satisfied with a 15 hour wait to be admitted!  I guess it is better than 2 days.


Gary--we need prisons that help as they incarcerate. So many inmates are seeking treatment for substance abuse and it makes sense to provide this option...and perhaps this would be cheaper in the long run. And many more folks might avoid criminal charges if their abuse was treated better beforehand as well...the same could be said for mental health issues that we don't deal with till the police are called. My last comment...please assure that the building get's painted...it's a bit of an eyesore...at least grass green would blend in.
Keep up the good work!


When does Loussac give you some "outside time" Shareblue? Methinks you need it, put the Library computer down and go chase some geese at Cuddy Park.


Sorry Cheryl, you are incorrect. Mckelvey made changes to the bill that he knew would make it unpassable. "But Ashley Lukens, director of the Hawaii Center for Food Safety, said after the vote Monday, “I do not think that Angus amended the bill to address the concerns of my food safety advocates. I think he amended the bill to kill it, which is precisely what the agrochemical industry needed to happen.”


My understanding is that felony convictions and voting vary state by state. In some states, you get the right back after time served, in others - you never do.  It appears from the article that in AK, the right to vote depends on the 'kind' of felony.


And here I thought young people were waging a war on cars by going car-free and trying to ruin all the civilized folks' commutes... Now I learn they're (we're?) all buying BMWs. Okay.


After a recheck, You were right on the final vote.  I could hardly believe that every Republican was willing to sell out the nation for party ideology.  Blind followers of traitorous fascist ideology to the detriment of the nation is not something to be cheered.  Now history will be repeated as they destroy the remaining basic social foundations for the nation created in response to the previous Republican economic disaster in the Great Depression.  All led by a German compatriot of a Russian Oligarch.  The cheering from the gormless faithful abhorrent to any true patriot is disgusting.  Blind allegiance to evil never turns out well.


Kinder Morgan's proposals aren't even correct geographically. it is more than just doubtful that they can build any pipeline that would not spill.

Fix the other pipelines, the new line will not be built in BC.


Its hard for me not to be a little bit sad about the Rockies even though this is the best late August record I can remember from them.  It just doesn't feel like the club has a lot of life right now.  I share other's puzzlement that Tapia isn't still up with the big club--speed doesn't slump and even though Tapia strikes out a lot, he does bring good energy.  Hopefully the Rockies have better luck against Ian Kennedy, although he has dominated them in the past.


It is about time they investigate this organization. They have been on a witch hunt for years and responsible for ruining the lives of innocent priests in their quest for justice.


I agree with you but missed the infrastructure issue many of the rural areas do not have the water and sewer system to allow much development outside of the current urban centers.


Now we see the real reasons for Joe Biden's visit. He was Obama's emissary for:

1. A treaty banning drilling in arctic waters - one that the incoming president can not easily reverse.

2. The co-opting of Canada into a show of belligerence in Latvia. The border of Russia is already bristling with NATO missiles and defensive weapons. This provocation is unnecessary and only serves to further destabilize the region.

Both of these are Obama's "up yours" to the incoming president. Obama has been no friend of Canada during his eight-year presidency. Only now does he court Trudeau, who in his inexperience has given the finger to both the USA and Russia. Trump has clearly signalled that he wants to thaw relations with Putin, but after a few hours of flattery by Joe Biden, Trudeau has been persuaded to do exactly the opposite.

Obama will be gone in a few weeks, but Trudeau will remain to deal with the consequences of this deliberate provocation. Neither Trump nor Putin will forget.


Yep!  I agree.  And, I rarely ever agree with Greenberg.  The Dems just don't get it.  Change...change...change is what the electorate wants because there is little trust for the Republican Party or the Democratic leaders as well.  Pelosi is a relic from the past.  Democrats need to look forward rather than in the past. New thinking, new strategies, new leadership!


There are still a few elephants left.  Don't want to be too hasty in ending it quickly.


You mean like reducing the size of the federal government?  Long overdue.   Trying to eliminate entitlement fraud?  Common sense.  Enforcing immigration laws?  Long  overdue and common sense.


That was certainly one part of the column, but not the only part.  Read the rest of the article.  Trump has accused Germany of currency manipulation, running an unfair trade deficit (whatever that is), accused Merkel personally of ruining Germany through immigration and on and on.

Of course, Trump can't be trusted.  Not only does he fire off his silly little tweet with little to no thinking, he changes course at a moment's notice for no apparent reason.   There is no coherent thinking behind his actions, no plan, nothing.  Just emotion-based reaction.  That is completely untrustworthy in the realm of international relations.


“Holy negative heel on your sandal Batman! That walk down Bay Street  wasn’t like we planned”
“ Just like a sandy beach Robin , just like walking on  the beach”


That been the excuse given by Chicago for at least two decades.

80% of the guns used in solved crimes in Chicago are contraband, stolen from lawfully owned guns in Illinois and other states.

The shootings in Chicago that result in deaths are over 80% gang shootings. These are battle between criminals over drug, prostitution, or other crime turf.

Rahm Emanuel, btw, disbanded the Chicago anti-gang unit a year or so ago.

In addition the Chicago police force has been corrupt for at least thirty years.

So, no, the problem is not Indiana. The problem is in Chicago and it's 100% homegrown.


Well, other States are able to graduate more students than we do, also.

We're 46th out of 50 in graduation rates.  And Oregon got to set its own standards for graduation and then couldn't meet them.

It couldn't be a lack of competence; all of our educators and administrators meet the Lake Woebegone Standard.

They "Are All Above Average"!


wE ARE ALL IN THIS MESS TOGETHER AND YES, PLEASE COLLECT TAXES FROM THE HTOELS ON ALL ISLANDS.


Like Trump, for example.

I was in Iran when the Shah was in power.  Truly the 0.1% were in the ascendant.  The guy on the street had very little, and definitely no say.  Loud grumbling would result in a visit from SAVAK, the much-feared secret police (trained by Israel), perhaps a stay in Evin prison with some physical 'encouragement' to see the true path.  Or worse.  Tens of thousands simply vanished.


The problem here is that with our 12.5% share of production we Alaskans are actually another player at the poker table, not the dealer. We can't just go asking the other players to show us thier hands so we know how to bet. Actions like that where all the players conspire together to fix a market price are what makes the casino (the SEC and foreign trade councils) throw you out on your ass. It pains me to say it but the big three know what they are doing here.


Lynn, that is an excellent idea and for the life of me I cannot understand why the Governor has not already done this.

For one it forces the legislature to take some ownership and It will also start the budget process in realistic territory.


Out of the box thinking...great suggestion.


This idea came from a state employee who happens to single-handedly support our household. Personally, we would be willing to take the cut now rather than put our retirement at risk later. Can you explain your logic behind cutting 10% of benefits? I think that would surely be a savings to the state, but it would be a deal-breaker for most state workers, I bet. Based on your comment, you may have assumed that I work in the private sector? Actually I don't work right now because I've been told I'm dying of cancer. Sorry to play that card, but your response was so snarky, I wanted to make sure you understand that we can't assume anything about anyone on this forum or anywhere. Everyone is dealing with their own burdens of which we will likely never completely know. All I know, is for us personally, we would rather have an income than not have an income. We would rather sacrifice wages (hopefully temporarily) than benefits. But I don't think our moronic state labor unions will go for this.


In what way have they ripped you off?


Not as many jobs in much of the rest of Canada. Easy to say go move to timmins or Sherbrooke.But if there is no work!?


Great article Jiz, I think the Broncos always get neglected.


The public perception of what lawyers do is overshadowed by adversarial litigation.  Most lawyers spend their time negotiating mountains of paper, regulations, complex problems and interpersonal conflicts.  They are expected to deliver elegant solutions to an incredibly complicated set of problems.  Time and financial strain is crushing.  Plus demanding clients, antagonistic lawyers, unsympathetic public servants,  Judges ... with extremely high standards to do everything right and paper it to exacting standards.  It can be soul crushing.


Ajijic, Mexico. A hiding place for senators, the chairs are softer and the air much warmer.


As usual, Ms Collins exercises her biting wit.  It was a bit pathetic to watch Mitt Romney go to Trump "hat in hand" and have Trump make a complete fool of him.  Imagine how much better he would have looked to all of us had he said "no thank you sir, I don't wish to be considered for any post in your Administration, I consider you a fraud and a charlatan."  That would have take some backbone..However, as Ms Collins notes, Mitt is a bit short on backbone.  Too bad, Mitt, you blew your chance to actually "man up."


Your investments are essentially working for you, earning you income. Why shouldn't you pay taxes on that income?


When there are jobs, the Left works for their money and services. The Right Tight Republicans simply recycle money and cut services to our brothers and sisters.


Your freedom to do that is about to end.


Tilly
Tommy Douglas certainly had a lot of money injected into the system. The intent was to move health care for the poor from  volunteer to government.  Unfortunately it made health care for everybody a charge on government. There were and are millions of people who are capable of paying for their own health care, being paid by the taxpayer. Every taxpayer pays part of the health care cost of everybody. Thus poor taxpayers are paying through taxes, some of the cost of health care for those with money. That made everyone poorer including the poor.

The poor need an injection of money, not money taken from them. I am sure Tommy Douglas would agree with that.  Now how to do it?

A guaranteed Annual income for the poor and healthcare in the private sector. The poor, like all others could purchase the health care insurance they want. Taxes would be less because most Canadians will be paying their own way.

Any other ideas?


Shhh, don't tell him.  It will be a surprise.


Don't believe everything you read on social media


Very sad.


For the State school budgeting,  the  budget is essentially a labor bill with a vast and generous benefits practice unavailable to the non government sector.  And,  it is about 3/4 of the employees working a very truncated "year",  which is a 180, @ 7.5 hours, contracted days of work,  with the pay spread out over 12 months to provide the illusion of "full time" work and remittance expectations.  Teaching staff is about as work prone as the US Senate,  which is not in session most of the time.    I believe in my local school district 88% of the budget is salaries,  wages, and benefits,  including the 6% of every salary dollar to PERS.  So the lights, water,  janitorial supplies, maintenance,  all come from the 12%.  Legacy payroll costs are significant as expressed in PERS mandated extra contributions and cadillac health insurance costs.  The 5% annual increase is primarily a salary and benefit schedule out of control,  not the cost of light bulbs and computer paper.


you are so correct - i collect floor ashtrays from the Deco years - they range from brass to c*rap pot metal of whatever was left over went into the crucible. .. did silver smithing for a bit and know metal weakens and fails.  BUT, you put your finger on the key issue, and that is maintenance, regardless of plane, car, boat.
 i imagine they machine replacements parts for older planes, also know the military and commercial aviation  has raided the "bone yard" that is in the mojave for years - not sure if they still do.
 anymore i am scared to death to fly which i must sometimes- unfounded, i know - i've avoided certain airplanes if i had a reasonable choice, and ask about the age of the plane which always draws complete silence for  a bit. i say a prayer that the mechanics were honest and not just signing off on things, and were well trained and kept that way...  my life is in their hands - maybe more so than the flight crew.  planes are so unforgiving. oops = death too often. boats :(

Why would you even begin to think that's humorous?

Reminds me of a story years back when an elk rancher had a bull killed on his ranch. Eventually the perpetrators were tracked down to a town in Oklahoma, a couple yahoos that had gone around town telling a big tale about their hunt. It must have been rough on those two "hunters" when the town learned the truth!

Vancouver is the face of globalism.  Is this what Canadians want?  Unaffordable housing, sky-rocketing food prices, overcrowding, loss of culture along with deteriorating infrastructure that massive immigration brings?  It is no wonder that nationalism is on the rise in Canada to counter the ill effects of globalization.


huh?


Sher,
‘The Ottomans did not make serious attempts to invade Western Europe.’ The Sultan sent an army to take Vienna twice, and failed in 1529 and 1683. So he sends 100,000 soldiers to take Vienna, just for fun. Be serious.
‘In the Roman Empire  .. Turkey.’ If you knew history you would see there was no Turkey then. The Turks were nomads in Central Asia. What is called Turkey now was Asia Minor aka Anatolia.
‘The increases of population in Europe were of the poor and starving.’ Another fantasy: How can there be an increase in population if the people are starving? Europeans multiplied because of their medical advances.
‘Same reason no Indians went in the other direction (to Britain) 16th to the 19th centuries.’ Indians did not have the physical means to travel to Britain; no Indian ship knew how to sail to Europe. Indians have flocked to Britain in modern times, illustrating your saying ‘the poor have almost always emigrated (correction, immigrated) to richer countries’.


Idiots are perfectly legal, as a issue of educational standards, that is not condescending, but collaborative fact.


Homophobia isn't fear of homosexual people, it's fear of homosexual feelings/attractions the person has inside their own mind. Thor has a semantic point.

What?


The numbers in the table above are painful to look at.  I'm not sure that closing most parishes is going to make things better.  My parish is the result of three older parishes merged into one.    The process was so painful that, as a result, some people went from active to nominal participation.


Saying that increasing supply with fix housing issues assumes that the free market to is working properly. For this to be a valid assumption, the legal system has to adequately and fairly address any issues arising from rental contracts. The article in question points out that this may not be the case and so the author is jumping the gun. I'm guessing from their use of the regal we that they are a lawyer, did they fail logic 101?

It's not more rules, it's ensuring the fair applicability of existing rules.


I support Hillary because I read the posts from Trump supporters who generally like to attack others.  Do you get that, like me, you are free to voice your opinion but having to attack someone when you do it is why the GOP has had no traction in heading to the White House and the US Senate now has a 60% chance to flip Democrat. Years of bullying Clinton and Obama has had the opposite effect that you wanted, voters have heard so many whacky conspiracy theories they are immune to it as Hillary heads to the finish line. It has come at a time when Obama's favorability rating is very high, better than many presidents before him as he leaves the office. Hard to keep trash talking Obama when the" people "like him a lot.  A lot of non-stop bullying and Trump polices that change on a whim along with close members of his campaign staff has tanked his bid for the White House. But good news is you have a handy excuse for then Trump loses, the "system" is rigged and your beat will just go on.


Another wonderful article Wayne. The Zuma era has come at a enormous cost to us, not in financial terms alone, but in terms of spirit,National pride and the will to keep moving forward to the future that we all dreamed of. What do we want more, Justice  or to be rid of all of those who have sought to bring us down. The truth is that there will never be justice so lets pay them to go, cut the losses and move on. Lets face it if we allow them to stay it will cost us more. You have to treat these people with what the know best....greed!

No, they like the idea of getting rid of Trump, same as many of us who aren't a lefty or righty.  Duh.


Surely US allies are not stupid enough to believe that Trump is anything but erratic and irrational? Any other belief is just wishful thinking. Remember where wishful thinking got the world with George W. Bush. Sometimes it is just necessary to accept that the US President is every bit as incompetent as he appears to be


Good luck. Some people would watch "Soylent Green" and their only thought would be, hey, why don't we do that? I could picture them standing up and cheering at that steam shovel and dump truck scene.

I carry a gun, not intent to use it! It's for the unwanted in our state that our Govenor won't get rid of! Gangs law breakers, these people aren't wanted in any city, but we have more than our share! Read the trooper report everyday and see how many unwanted people we have on the streets! Per capita we have as much crime as Chicago Il not right thanks Mr Govenor Walker!


My thought too in addition to the fact that Alaska has significantly squandered its oil wealth as have the recipients of the PFD.  It would be outrageous to re-institute an income tax on a few while continuing to give out money that nobody has earned.   Everybody rich and poor should have flesh in the game which makes a sales tax more equitable.   Poor people are also a drain on the system and should at least pay something.


You're likely right Overeducated....otherwise there wouldn't be three, count 'em three articles/columns on the ...gasp.....secular invocation proffered by young Iris from the Free Thinkers in Soldotna.  If it bleeds it leads.


Sure, kpare, but if we don't get access to these highly skilled leaders in their field, there are no jobs for the new recruits.

A faith is not sacrosanct if it's core doctrine which formed it's subsequent legal system contains in it commands that are abhorrent to modern day society. There are reasons that countries have tried to ban the Quran. Some of us don't want to a parallel court system operating within our borders (as is presently the case with some parts of Europe). The end goal of this is to establish Sharia Law in Canada and some of us have the wherewithal to stand against the potential subversion of our laws.

The Globe loves to fuel the housing speculation in Toronto, do they have no shame.
Why is it every time I meet some one from Toronto the 1st thing they say is " do you know what my house worth " not "I feel sorry for those poor family's who are stuck in life long debt"
The funny think is most of the articles in the Globe are left wing articles bleating out the outrage of the day. I guess once they are done  making the world a better place it allows them the moral high ground to run back to their  heavily financed  million dollar homes.
Got to love the TD advertising with calculator and the incredible  amount of interest one can pay - oops get the deal done on a bidding war and live a dream life.


If there were 100 guns in the house properly secured, a child would not be in intensive care.  A gun can't secure itself, a person has to do that.  The problem is, an adult didn't secure the gun.

This is a negligent parent issue, not a gun issue.  We're done here.


Yes, Clinton is very much an establishment type. If she does get elected, and continues the policies of her husband and Obama, I think that will finally convince Democratic voters that neoliberalism is dead.

Reading comments from her supporters tempts me to vote for Trump, but then I realize that her neoliberal supporters LOST the Oregon primary, so obviously they don't speak for the party, at least in Oregon. The recent mayor election leads me to believe that most of the commenters here don't speak for Eugene.


Have Oregon demographics changed?

Brown must have a poll showing she is at risk with little  appeal beyond Portland.


Political reminiscing etc is not solving anything.
Canadians need ? an impeachment process or something...there is zero accountability....no matter what party has the reigns......just buck passers.


MW's piece was a good example of the "constant barrage of hating and vilifying" that causes you to wonder if life's worth living.  So, the reasonable thing, Emmett, would be to call NCR and complain.  But no, you complain about CM.  God, I love this place.
