What about, "Timber"????    There is NOTHING easy about dealing with firewood or cutting wood.  This is what works for me.  I run a Husqvarna 6.5 cubic inch chain saw, 5 ft. bar with chisel bit grind on the chain.  I have a Sthil saw 24 inch bar for the twig stuff.  I have a 10,000 lb winch on the front of my truck with a snatch block to move stuff around.   These days there are only a few landings open for cutting firewood, and they are usually quite a ways away.  Nowadays,  I just call my logging friend in Lorane who lives on 800 acres of solid flat timber land.  He also has a backhoe, and a Cat 550 dozer with winch.  Firewood life  is good.

Foster, we can do better than that.  We can overturn this unconstitutional theft by doing a citizen referendum- to override the corrupt bastards.


Greg has been buying barley from our farm in Delta for the past year and half and we pastured cattle for him this summer. He would like to buy animals here or raise them himself, but there is hardly any available. I see this as a great opportunity for Alaskan agriculture to have some real growth and replace some of the food that we import with local products.

People should have goals all through life and retirement is no different.  Goals such as getting educated and employed, getting promoted with better salary, getting married or not, having children or not, buying a home or not, when to retire, etc.  Every goal depends on whether you can afford it or how, (maybe by sacrifice).
Determining how much you spend and how much you have to spend so that you can live is most important.  How much you will no longer have to spend after retirement has to be taken into consideration.  Only then can you decide what is important and what is a dream.  Everyone's circumstances will be different and decisions will be required as you have done through life and most didn't have an advisor then.


Being a conservative, I love nothing more than taking the man to task on his politics, but his visits to the calico queens and brides of the multitudes, if they occurred at all, have little to do with anything concerning the running of the city in my opinion. Many great men, many of the most brilliant of minds, and often found to be rather successful, have had such traits of character.

So, respectfully SEAN_EVERS_JR, why not crucify him for his politics, and especially what has happened to our city on his watch, there is more than enough there to do so. Like his excuses for running off ICE from the courthouse, we don't want him to be scared of going to the free clinic should the need arise! LOL!~

Much more important issues in my opinion, his extra-marital exploits, or even if he has left handed wife, if it doesn't impact this city, this city's business, so be it, his life. But his politics? This is where I believe he should be held accountable, because that does effect this city.


liberals.....hypocrites who truly practice the politics of division


You're right.  But in the choice Between more of the same or off the cliff, it makes it easier to choose.


Rep John Lewis boycotted GW Bush's first inauguration because he felt the election was illegitimate.  So now he is boycotting Trump's first inaugural because he says the election is illegitimate.  Yet he was elected to office in 2000 and in 2016,  in the same elections.  Is Lewis a legitimate congressman,  by his own definition?  Or DeFazio? Schrader? Blumenhauer?  3/5ths of the Oregon delegation is going to find tough sledding for their constituents in the upcoming Congress,  by their own hands.  On the other hand,  who in rural Oregon really cares anymore?


I think Oregon might of missed a true superstar in their own backyard? I was watching highlights of Blake Long from Lincoln H.S. in Ptown. D.E. named defensive player of the year PIL. His size is a question? 6'2" still growing, weight 215lbs. His 40 was 4.56? Quick as lightning off the ball. His nose for the ball is a natural instinct that is almost impossible to teach? I would have hoped that the Ducks would of taken a look at such raw talent?  He would be a project Middle Linebacker but aren"t all recruits a project? Go Ducks!!


Excuses, excuses.
When you start out your presidency with an approval rating of 40%, and your predecessor leaves office with an approval rating of 60%, you're in trouble.


That she took the seat is more disgusting than Frank offering it to her. Folks if you really want to see change in Washington we need to focus on taking back the Senate and filling the SCOTUS vacancy. We do that starting with the ousting of Lisa Murkowski and replacing her with a true independent, Margaret Stock.

liberals hate the truth.shame on you for taking out my comments. look at wiki and you will see the world has been at war since 1980. across the world, from europe to the far east to australia to the US, the world is under attack by islam. the faith has been at war with itself and everyone else for 1500 years. it has never been a religion of peace. if the man running for political office is associated with a questionable group, it should have been brought to light. and he should have been named. you can look at both wiki for a list of attacks, and to study what we are discussing, answering-islam.org.


“Very Fine People on Both Sides." Donald Trump. If anyone marched with the neo-nazis chanting, "Jews will not replace us," I wouldn't call them fine people. To give moral equivalency to the neo-nazis and white supremacist shows were Trump's heart really is.

If Alaska has the funding, where's the money for Anchorage going?


The Senate wants to send the state off the cliff and make the 1980 recession (depression) seem like a boom period.

False equivalence.  Also, if you know that you need to walk around with your breasts out, perhaps it might be advisable for you not to go to this place, assuming you felt discomfort by revealing your breasts.


Why does RT(RoTflol), globalresearch and zerohedge all have the same delusionally funny "news"?!

Is it plagarism or much rubles from Putin's "Mafia State".


The economics certainly don't add up.

Instead of building Site C, Hydro should use the power that BC is entitled to under the Columbia River treaty - over 1,100 MW capacity and 4,000 GWh/yr energy.  But the BC Liberals won't allow it, so instead this power is sold on the market for $30 a MWh, one-third the cost of Site C's energy.

And BC now has smart meters which would allow time-of-use billing to reduce peak loads, further negating the need for Site C.  But the Liberals won't let Hydro take advantage of that either.

Hydro's debt is spiraling out of control - despite a 46% rate increase from 2014 to 2024, Hydro's debt will grow from $16 billion to $24 billion over the same period.  Clearly not sustainable.


"A technology-led effort could advance not just solar and wind but all alternative-energy technologies," says Lomborg, in denial of mainstream science's concerns about untested, speculative environmental engineering proposals put forward as somehow evidence-based.


Here is what the latest polling shows according to CBC:

"The EKOS and Forum polls on Northern Gateway and Trans Mountain conducted in the spring found support in British Columbia for the pipelines ranging from 37 to 41 per cent, roughly 10 points below the national average. Opposition was as high as 60 per cent.

"More recent polling by Insights West in British Columbia also found support at just 35 to 40 per cent, with opposition at 46 to 50 per cent for the two pipelines."

So, the majority of British Columbians - those most affected by the pipelines - disapprove of them . There is no social license to build the Trans Mountain line.


Same as Chretien's lost decade.


Well, you give the Mayor $500 million and he will spend it.  Trust him! But he will come back many times for more.


The only way an SOE, hemorrhaging money so fast it now effectively requires monthly multi-billion rand loans from government, would be able to contribute 0.3 percent to the country's GDP is through a creative process we refer to as 'Gigaba-nomics'...


As for making friends, how many friends do you have where you have nothing in common? How many alt-right, white supremacist  friends do you have?

I have Muslim acquaintances and neighbours who have similar lifestyles and interests, we can be friends.

I cannot be friends with a woman whose view of  everything important, including showing her face in public, is diametrically opposed to mine.


Really terrible for those who pay for this. Where is/was the oversight to protect that money?


I am correct about what you said, and I don't know why you're trying to run away from it when it's still visible above. You clearly wrote "I bet they didn't even read it." Why are you risking losing a bet if you didn't believe what you wrote?

Now you're backtracking and saying "some did not read it."

What's typical here is people like you, not me, twisting the truth for your ideological purposes.

You're the one who needs to learn the difference between "they" and "some." You only said "some" when you started backtracking from all of them. I don't play games.


"using weapons of mass instruction on populations of innocents"

Are you suggesting we subject North Korea to our public school system?


Boots, you're becoming the ukublu of Democratic supporters. What I find is most most disturbing, and you should as well, is how the protests at Republican meetings are being organized by groups like Move on or George Soros. You're being duped to criticize your own government. Do you agree with George Soros? Do you agree with Hillary? Both stated they wanted open borders, yet people like yourself parrot their comments criticizing Republicans. Just take that one issue, open borders. Do you believe Hawaii would be better off with open borders? Do you believe an open border would effect Hawaii in a positive way? I've watched Honolulu struggle for many years with the "homeless" issue.  Are you hoping that a Democratic administration would "bail out" Hawaii?


An example of how football is now a year round slave labor where gladiators are trained to entertain the masses. Hey, I enjoy football and have supported it for years, but this exploitation of young men must stop. There needs to be restrictions put in (not only in football) so that these "voluntary" requirements are not imposed year round. When does all this hypocrisy end? Guess never, as long as there's money to be made and papers like SA continue to write about these things as good things without regard to the overall evil of the whole process.


Wish this was available for Facebook SDA friends.


The company is going to start having an armed guard to watch for bears. This two young women were working out in the field when attacked and it sounds like the bear snuck up behind them. I have had a black bear do that to me twice and I was lucky both times to get to safety only because I happened to turn around and see him. Next to carrying a gun, bear spray is the best deterrent available. It is not always possible for people to carry rifles around while working. But you are right about bear guides carrying rifles. I went out to a bear viewing area where we had guides and they both had rifles. One walked in the front and the other at the back of the group. I can't imagine taking a group of tourists into bear country to view them without adequate protection!


Sam......they' they have been driving down the road while under the influence of marijuana since the sixties !!
The threat to our safety comes from drunk drivers.....always has, and obviously , still does!
Some 'law enforcement' will miss the low hanging fruit.....possession charges.  ...of which many are dismissed, but the flow from Federal dollars to police is for charges....not convictions.


These guys smoking too much pakalolo!


TDW,

Several manufacturers have developed technology to enable EV charging in  five or six minutes. Many posters have provided you with the relevant links. Many posters have reminded you that 99% of EV owners will be able to recharge at home. I passed by six EV charging stations while on a stroll this afternoon. Shell and other oil companies are rolling out modern refueling stations that will provide drivers with either gasoline, hydrogen or electricity for charging. This is the 21st century.

The issue initially may have been Russia joining NATO(, but it quickly dissolved into a "bash Russia" thread NOT a fair discussion of pros/cons, so turnabout is fair play. To Hamilton's key point:
"Instead of posturing and demonizing Russia, invite Russia to join NATO, and make it a serious offer."

If NATO is to continue, then this is a sane and sensible idea, and will never happen as long as the US is dead set on global domination, militarily, economically, and politically. Putin is no angel( who of the major power leaders is?), but he does have a sense of reality and he's probably a whole easier to deal with than whoever will follow him.

Since the US virtually owns NATO, what the other country's citizens think about it doesn't even come up for discussion. The threat of a nuclear war between super powers is vastly more threatening to their health than any fantasy of Russian tanks steamrolling through Europe, and most of them know it even oh so many here don't.

As a breastfeeding mom I am always so sad when our global economic system makes it impossible for women to breastfeed. I am so lucky in Canada I had mat leave. My baby was exclusively breastfed until the age of 1 when she only slowly starting to show an interest in foods such as cereal. Fortunately I was able to work part-time and remotely so that I could continue to breastfeed her, which continued to make up a sizeable part of her diet until age 2. At 3 1/2 I am still breastfeeding her, and I am grateful despite economic sacrifices I had to make (and it really hasn't been easy), there was a general economic support through mat leave and then family benefits to maintain a strong breastfeeding bond/ lifestyle. I definitely can see, however, why that option wouldn't be available to everyone -- breastfeeding is a beautiful gift that I am so grateful I can continue to give my daughter - I hope that all babies can have that basic human right and we do need to make it a priority.


....it would be nice.  I do think the uncertainty in all things is really high especially with all the drama to the south of us.


Much love. You'll be remembered forever


No.  You cannot discriminate against straight people, either.  The "class" is legally called "sexual orientation," not "gay."  And you cannot discriminate against white people, either.  That "class" is called "race," not "black."


And getting worse and worse, depending on the level of government influence. The more the government gets involved in the insurance business the worse the service becomes. Thanks Obama!!


If it's international waters, the Chinese don't need anyone's permission to pick up an unmanned drone either.

To be lawfully immune from interference, a sea-going vessel must be manned. Otherwise it can be considered abandoned, or flotsam or jetsam, and retrieved by another ship. Ordinarily no one interferes with drones in  international waters when they're used for scientific or commercial purposes. But the Americans were obviously spying on the Chinese, so the Chinese picked it up. For all the sputtering outrage from Trump and others here, if the roles were reversed the Americans would've done the same thing


Good ole Sully, playing Cold War scare games on the public to get more money to his defense industry contacts.  Why doesn't Sullivan ever offer proof of the Russians' supposed military expansion (even though they are cash strapped due to low oil prices).  Google maps covers all of Russia.  How about some URLs Danny of Google maps showing where these new bases and airfields are?  Danny can't produce this evidence because he is full of BS.


It's no secret within the medical community that when a politician gets sick, strings are immediately pulled to bypass the system. Hypocrisy from beginning to end...


I'm confused -- isn't this "new plan" simply Boston/Cardinal Law redux, prior to the Globe's investigation and revelations:  just pay off the families and require a confidentiality agreement which precludes disclosing and/or further criminal reporting?  The only difference appears to be the alacrity with which claims are responded to.  Did Dolan just turn back the clock to 2002 and receiving accolades for doing so?

Where are criminal investigation and possible prosecution in the equation?  Where are transparency and accountability for victims and offenders?

If this analysis is correct and these are truly objective facts of how past, present and possibly future cases will be handled, where is Pope Francis' much-touted department relative to this nightmare?  I find this an alarming development, not one that represents any kind of viable solution for victims, their families, and the whole dreadful mess.


Both candidates are sinking fast. Bernie is the only one with the integrity to lead our nation.

It’s interesting how the posters have come back saying how good forest fires are.  They were keeping quiet a couple of months ago.  Maybe they were choking on the smoke like the rest of us.  Move the junk and the and person in the tree, hypocrites.  So much for the NW Forest Plan.


Meanwhile, transportation continues to be the province's largest and fastest-growing source of greenhouse gas emissions. Our municipal and provincial pollution reduction commitments are totally broken by this trend. So it doesn't work from a health perspective either. I'm really disappointed that our ten year bike plan doesn't leave us with a safe, usable, connected network, and that it's going to take ten more years of fatalities and high emissions before we have half a network worth of under-used bike lanes. There's no plan for a large, immediate intervention, which is what we need.


But whose paying the bill? It's not unfair.

If a barber doesn't provide you with the haircut you requested, do you go back?

If I visit or call any business for a service that I need and they can't provide it, and, despite that, I go ahead and waste my money there anyway.  I'm being unfair to myself.

The amount of work required is not and should not be the customer's problem. I'm sure that "work" will be factored into the price.

What is rude is a business that does not provide the service asked for by the customer and yet expects their loyalty.

I understand that this what a business person, like yourself, may want.

But, you have NO right to dictate or disparage ANY customer on how and where they spend their money!!


Mike.  Look at the headline of this article.  How Fishing interest infiltrated Conservations Biggest Event.  Infiltrated... smuggled themselves in.

Ivanka, Jared Have Third Email Account, and Yet Another Private Server At Trump Tower

↴

↳ Kushner, Ivanka and other top officials in Trump’s orbit were told not to use private email, were reminded by the NSA not to use private email, and had just wrapped up a campaign based largely on falsified hysteria over a government official’s use of private email, so there is no excuse.
There is Trumpist/Republican hypocrisy though.

There's ample proof the Trump administration has done all the same actions as they accuse others of doing.

And you can tell how outraged their 'supporters' are.


Stop TFWs

We are being taken for a ride by greedy small business and stingy ad abusive big business that do not want to give back
Our youth are not getting job experience and the discipline that goes with it
Money is flowing out of the country
our unemployment rate is staying higher than it should be and
human rights is being violated and many horror stories spreading both here and worldwide about Canada

The politician that stops the greed and hatred for Canada gets my vote.


I presume that the village has another strike available. If not, they shouldn't be hunting whale again this year.


Considering how far left this current regime is, Canadians will be very open to another center right fiscally conservative government after Justin continues on his 19 billion deficit spending spree in 2017.

Harper lost, but left behind a strong and healthy opposition.  The campaign missteps sunk him, not the platform.  He underestimated the lefts ability to be divisive through fear mongering.


You are talking about average hedge funds like Carrick talks about average mutual funds.  The best performers in each are WAY above average.  PS.  Sorry, but I don't even know what "Billions" is.


Where does Don the lefty fascist come up with this rubbish? Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton praised Trump for his record with minorities in NYC. Once Trump became a presidential candidate, leftists like Don, foaming at the mouth, scream "Racist!" On but wait. It was Hillary Clinton who praised former Klansman and US Senator from West Virginia as "her mentor." Like a Pavlovian dog, Don simply parrots what the frail and quite pathetic Hillary Clinton spouts.  Trump speaks the truth about what the Left has delivered to inner city African-Americans: poverty, failed schools, and broken families. Who has been running  large US cities for decades? The only thing left in the Democrat playbook is to scream "Racist!, Sexist! Homophobe!" Hillary Clinton is guilty of numerous felonies for her gross mismanagement of classified material. Her husband is a serial rapist. Their greed and corruption are unmatched. And all poor, sickly Hillary and deranged Don can do is scream "Racist."


Love how the old reform/alliance slugs are all over this.  Where were you when Yosemite Sam told Canadians that they were with the pedophiles if not in agreement with him?   Where were you when the lousy Bev Oda demanded a hotel where she could smoke and ordered a limo to take her there?  Lots of lousy politicos littered your time in office, yet not a peep from any of you types.

Read what someone who actually served with  Sajjan (his Brigadier General) said about him  and he wasn't even a racist like some of you are pretending you're not.   Little feet, little boys.


Of course the NDP will be against any privatization.. Are we missing something here?

To satisfy them start a National debate and then when they lose the next election it will be unanomous


Fall Kabib, you are a true ignorant uneducated dunce. I could care less what your Native relatives believe. I also blame Sheldon Jackson for dividing Alaska up and handed over to different denominations. None of those folks had the right to do what they did to Native people.


Who cares what the inclusion rate or the minimum holding period is when the vast majority of such flips are not reported at all, and the feds don't check!!   The CRA refuses to cross-check provincial data (property transfer taxes) or real estate board data (all deals) or non-CREA data (Property Guys, ComFree, etc..) against federal tax returns.   They would find 10s of thousands of taxable deals, going back to the onset of the boom/bubble...   It is a little bit amazing that the tax-and-spend government of Jr. is NOT (yet) going after that money!


" .. changed the definition of acceptable political discussion, cheapened the country’s civic life, coarsened a serious process and presented voters in the United States with an Election Day choice that they themselves believe is unappealing if not outright odious..."

Well - No ! It has always been thus - fuelled by electorate fruit fly attention spans, the IQs of amoebas and an eager media ever groping for cheap headlines. There is ultimately no surprise here - merely a Jerry Springer moment. Factual realities and situations carefully swept under the carpet. Let us look in the mirror - at democracy of the lowest common denominator. We are all guilty of what governance has become ...


Got a link.


You don't understand how logic and burdens of proof work.

Just because something may *possibly, remotely* be true, does not establish that it is. More importantly, the burden of establishing a claim is on the proponent to prove it, not the other party to disprove it.

Is it *possible* Trump Tower was wiretapped? Sure. But it's also *possible* the Russians infiltrated the 2016 election to hand Vulgar Talking Yam the presidency.


Many of our Social Science graduates should be happy for those jobs. Otherwise they would be unemployed.


People are gullible to think CONway has gone rogue with regards to Mitt. She's been his most disciplined advocate and isn't about to change now. This is orchestrated from within the tRump team and most likely by the Doncon himself. He's a product of reality TV and likes drama. There's a long list why he would want to do it but most likely it's for his appearance. CONway is the same who called tRump supporters "nasty" and "above their skeeze" when she was on the Cruz team.  Yep. CONway is sent out there as a distraction from following the money in the tRumpland conflicts of interests.  She did what tRump told her to do.  It's his stage. This is one of those trying to look good cons, with the Republican establishment. He's setting up the media, to be punked again.  Kind of a good cop/bad cop thing, where everyone is being played.  This isn't news. It's access Hollywood. Where's Billy Bush when we really need him?


No one who cares about Alaska voted for Trump. No one.


I think you're confusing the Baltic nations with the Balkan nations.  Take a look at where the Baltic nations are on a map and convince those nations NATO is really going to come to the rescue, that Europe would risk anything for them.  Are you ready to go and fight in the Baltics?


BCers sure hope that Wal-Mart -Home Depot, Safeway, Banks, Repair Mechanics, BCAA, Shoppers Drug Mart, etc... will all get into that magnificent opportunity. BCers will be happy shoppers!


The 9/11 fires were many times hotter than the Grenfell Tower blaze. The World Trade Towers were soaked with jet fuel, and burned hot enough to melt and warp steel, and disintegrate concrete. The Grenfell fire was mostly wood, paper, synthetic materials, and plastics which spread fast from one apartment to another but not as hot. It is like comparing a blast furnace to a BBQ,  The Grenfell Tower is now extremely unstable and may very well collapse under its own weight.


This show is going to drop like a rock.  Hatred, and evil lies and diatribe.  What's everyone hiding?


Trump Tax

The goal of Trump and the Republican leaders is to pull off a giant redistribution of over $1 trillion from the middle-class, working-class, and poor to the rich, who are already richer than ever.

They're selling this to the public with a false claim that the middle-class will benefit from their tax cut plan. It's a gigantic Trojan horse.

For most Americans, the proposed tax cuts are tiny and temporary. That's right – temporary.  They will shrink in just a few years.  And some middle class Americans will actually get a tax increase.

Watch it on YouTube

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfHjzp0PxMI

This tax cut will explode the deficit. And when the bill comes due, politicians won't ask the wealthy to give back all their gains. They will once again come to the middle-class for concessions.

We better fight this before its too late. Contact your politicians loudly and often. Let them know you will not allow them to pull the wool over them once again.


In Alberta this will double down on the NDP wrecking crew currently telling investment capital to get lost. Good post; and I agree 100%.


Please please please stop with the Trump addiction. It seems the media can't help itself but to view every possible topic through their anti-Trump lenses.

I'm not defending Trump, just sick and tired of every article that can possibly be made to be about Trump getting into the papers.


"Thank you!" to everyone involved in this - what a great idea!
Do they need any volunteers to help out?


Typical. Screw everyone else. We got ours. Just because you secured funding to Alaska does not make it okay to vote for a bill that hurts the rest of the country.


BE very WARY when anyone starts to use Religion any religious denomination for their gain and/or on defense when cornered! It's all Shibai, smoke and screens for their gain!


In no way do I agree that Democrats haven't served working people, Lynn. You have a huge chip on your shoulder that blinds you when you conflate your friends with your enemies. Our federal government runs on consensus (when it runs at all) and not by diktat. By turning your back on Hillary Clinton, a hugely talented administrator and master of policy, and going into a pout over the unelectable Bernie Sanders, you and people like you elected Donald Trump.  I will remember that folly to my dying day, and I think you oh-so-picky people have ushered in a huge disaster. You should have learned after Ralph Nader, but you didn't learn a damn thing; and it is you who will pay most dearly.


In the spooky Conservative world, mommy always did tell Beaver that Mr. Jowls knows best.

Yes, of course it's always about the policies.   But Conservative policies are entirely obvious from the faces of the people who propose them: fleshy, comfortable, white.


Actually, I DID do the budget the game, and I found three things. ONE: the game was rigged to give the result the governor wanted (raid the PFD). TWO: I cut the maximum allowable of 30% EXCEPT from education (went untouched) form EVERYTHING and balanced the budget using savings. If that game allowed more than 30% budget cuts, I could have balanced the budget without using savings, which THREE: illustrates exactly what people are saying: STOP SPENDING MONEY!!!


Nuke 0bamacare and confirm DeVos, Lisa!

America is finally going in the right direction.


Not to worry, we're in good hands. Oops!


X 100 Tom. On a daily basis the editorial/commentary page was a mix of right/left/center opinions on the national as well as state level. The national news was aggregated from the still surviving national newspaper chains and it was also quite balanced. If the new owners can be half as fair and balanced as the ADN was under Ms. Rogoff's excellent direction we will still have an Alaskan newspaper we can be proud of. Those who complain about bias in one direction or another are those who would complain even if the content was lifted solely from slanted right wing bloviators. Thank you Alice Rogoff for giving the ADN years of your life. Lord knows you are wealthy enough to not have taken on the challenge for anything other than altruistic motives.

So when the ice was thicker 10000 years ago it melted slower, but after Al Gore invented global warming, climate change, or whatever name they can use to bilk the useful idiots out of money it melts faster now seeing as the ice sheet is thinner and melts like a normal hunk of ice.

"At long last, a forum where Trump cannot escape the truth"

Except only the people that already hate him will care. meh.


Except that we don't need to generate the btus derived from fossil fuels.  For example there is only about a 20 % efficiency from the fuels used to drive our vehicles.  Electric vehicles can be 60% and better.  At that rate solar electricity on homes and businesses could easily supply our transportation needs.


Trump’s budget plan does not make deep cuts in safety net programs; it simply is removing hammocks from the programs.


Health insurance went up for people with those cheap policies, you know, the ones that are great unless you get sick. For most people under the ACA, REAL insurance is cheaper. Remember, before ACA premiums had gone up double digits yearly for a decade. Now THAT was unsustainable.


"Yes, they will build cheaper houses. They'll be smaller, and have less amenities"--How times have changed.  We've gone from the mocking of soulless suburban McMansions to lamenting that people will have to live in smaller homes that aren't packed with non-necessities like granite countertops, marble backsplashes, and hardwood flooring throughout the house.


I don't know you can disagree with this comment - he provided impartial proof. The median total family income for Vancouver in 2014 was $76,040. This is half of $150,000. $150,000 is even 50% above the median in Calgary for that year. Clearly a family income of $150,000 is doing well, even if some people are not comfortable considering themselves wealthy.

There is one coherent Truth.

Having a non-mathematician talking mindlessly and giddily (there are a number of these types of Jesuits aren't there?) about 2+2 NE 4 may make the easily led gush with emoji's, but his argument doesn't move the needle in any real sense.

He's a pope worshipper.

Funniest post on this article, and the misinformation here today is mind boggling.


"More boys kill themselves than girls, but the rate of suicide by girls is growing more quickly."  Until journalists can cite the male statistics without appending a statement that quickly redirects attention to females, the minimization of boys' issues will continue.

Boys' suicide rates run approximately 500-700% higher than the rate for girls.  When something is a 12% higher in one gender than another, we use words like "more".  But this ain't "more"; this is a whopping majority.  (Statistically, the lower variable can always "grow more quickly", but that doesn't change the fact it's overwhelming a male issue, not a female one).

It's time to call a spade a spade:  this is a mens/boys' epidemic.


It seems we are in agreement about both personal forgiveness AND civil punishment.  I have long since come to realize that a lot of what consumed my anger towards others was really self inflicted punishment.

This included my relationship with a brother who left me holding the bag too many times.  I was furious about stuff like his wrecking my car with just a oops to take its place.  I should have forgiven him years ago.  Imagine my surprise when he called me to tell me he had just found out he had a very virulent form of cancer and that I was the first person he wanted to talk with, before even calling his own kids.  Over the next 4 months we had many great conversations that his wife told me helped him out a lot.  Sadly, during what was to be our last conversation he started to have some bad coughing and we needed to stop the call.  Before calling I had decided to tell him that I totally forgave him, but held back because of how weak he sounded.  Lost my chance he died.


Informal settlements toilets are unsanitary places, as are most public toilets. But the writer is confusing the consideration users ought to have for the next person, personal responsibility and pride and cleanliness with the fact there are no and can be no toilets in individual dwellings. Even in the home or workplace one gets annoyed when others who used the toilet, bathroom or any facility for that matter, before one has left it in a state.
Axolile has reason for concern about sanitation in informal settlements as a general service, but his anger is misplaced, and self-pitying so, about the state of individual toilets. Have you surveyed whether users try and keep it as clean as possible? Or don't they care? Probably the latter (if one goes by the state of many public toilets).  Axolile, have you heard of the informal toilet cleaners of Nairobi's slums? If not I suggest you read up on them before complaining about city-provided toilets here.


AK Regional clearly states they weren't anticipating the amount of patients seeking care for multiple health issues.

Does primary care take handle sore throats? Of course, but they also handle patients needing annuals exams, sports physicals, and patients with several co-morbidities.

A single provider clinic seeing 30 patients a day for sore throats and headaches? That is clearly Urgent Care.  Unless they truly believe it's feasible for a MD to do an exam, pap smear, answer all questions, and decide whether to stick with medications someone has been on for years or to prescribe different ones in 20mins.

Politics is seldom about what may be good for the country.   It's often what is good for the special interest that bribe the political structure with tons of money, future jobs.   You would have no trouble finding cheating, lying and graft in the Republican or Democratic party.

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/feb/9/obama-carbon-emissions-rule-halted-supreme-court/?page=all   Here's the 'legal' recap.   The administration was stopped, but we don't know the final result.  It was sent back to the lower courts.

"The 5-4 decision by the court puts the Environmental Protection Agency’s regulation on hold while a lower appeals court hears states’ challenge to the rules. "

5-4 means 9 very smart, well educated people had a close disagreement on what was legal.

Your shallow acceptance of warming denial only shows your bias in the face of overwhelming evidence.  Tough guy (thank your for your service), but not qualified to judge scientific evidence.


1. You're contradicting yourself, you just admitted the fact that the KKK is predominantly a Democrat founded supremacist group and now you're trying to spin it the story that they have changed political parties??? Care to post sources baking your claim?
2. David Duke's endorsement of the DNC chair is recent dating back only a few months ago, and the source I provided proves this and you can easily Google the fact as well and find hundreds of sources with the same results. You can even look up David Dukes PUBLIC political history with showing him as a life long devout Democrat so how can you blatantly lie here in this thread and claim he's now a Republican because he possibly doesn't carry a card? LOL
3. Frankly I don't care whether the KKK members and Nazi's were Hillary, Obama, David Duke or Bill Cosby supporters. They need to be stripped of their US Citizenship and exiled to Mexico along with any other person in the US stating that Trump is not their US president.


Ideally...
For the interstate highway system it would be all federal funding.
For state highways it would be all state funding.
For city streets it would be all city funding.

But instead, we have this bad tendency to send a bunch of our taxpayers' money to the feds for laundering, and then have to go begging to them to get it back.


So, you're alright with racism and bigotry by American  Presidential candidates then.

Great News!  Caelus found lots of Oil at SMITH BAY a multi giant oil discovery!

Alaska credits have caused many more discoveries at Mustang, Placer, Kitchen Lights, Cosmopolitain, Sword, Kenai Loop Gas Field!

Alaska is on a COMEBACK with new discoveries and $100.00 barrel within 1 year!

The ignorance of the Constitution runs deep in every political party these days.  Many of the citizens today who do know what it says would like it changed to become more politically correct.  Why am I not surprised.


ricknro, you might be interested in this little history lesson--from a source not universally known as friendly to Republicans: http://www.cnn.com/2014/04/10/politics/civil-rights-act-interesting-facts/.  A larger proportion of Congressional Republicans voted for the Civil Rights Act than Democrats.  It was a conservative Republican who played a key role in getting the bill passed.  It was the Virginia Democrat Chairman of the House Rules Committee who fought hard against the bill.  Makes you think differently about Republicans, doesn't it?


The President was standing up for America, which the un-American players were disrespecting.  Don't you have a problem with American citizens disrespecting their country?


Anyone who defends the wearing of this niqab is essentially defending the Wahhabi sect in Saudi Arabia which demands that women wear this (most other forms of Islam don't enforce this). The Wahhabi bureaucracy in Saudi Arabia continues to foster religious extremism (including supporting many of the 911 hijackers)--This sect only provided aid to Germany during the recent immigration crisis to build mosques--not for humanitarian aid--any symbolism promoting this disgusting sect--should not be allowed--PERIOD--don't give me this "blatant violation of religious freedom" nonsense


Poor poor Peggy.  You are truly in the minority here and Trump will trump the biased public service and the courts.  They are about to be taught a harsh lesson in democracy.  The elected always Trump the unelected


When you give your email address to a political party, they will upload into Facebook so they can target you and your "lookalikes". The Elections Act disallows campaign spending on US television stations but says nothing about US internet companies.

Ah... didn't take her long to play the race card, did it?


Have you ever played chess?  This may not make much sense but stick with me a bit.  You know how sometimes it can feel pretty bad when you lose your queen?  It doesn't help when your opponent lords it over you or any spectator makes comments about it.  Chess is like politics in some ways.  It's about the long game.  If you focus on protecting your queen instead of how best to use or lose it your attention is divided and you set yourself up for a loss.  This EO from Trump is just like that.  His administration was so focused on not feeling bad it lost all sight of the long game.

Trump is the only one at the table who has control over the US's pieces of international "chess."  His conduct demonstrates he is only looking a move or two ahead.  I just hope he learns from this mistake.  But given his attitude towards the press, his disregard for disagreement even from his own appointees and his blind adulating supporters who can see no wrong I expect that hope is in vain.


According to an analysis of American National Election Studies data by a political scientist at Georgetown University’s Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate, Catholic voters narrowly went for Democrat Hillary Clinton, 48 percent to 45 percent. Among Hispanic Catholics, Mrs. Clinton cleaned up handily, winning by more than 50 points.

Just exactly what does the NRA have to do with the wonder of science and medicine?  Now isn't your comment just 'tarded!


I assumed the idea was the play the middle-man only - but keep the individual provinces, etc. in the same role.

I.e., become a bulk buyer & distributor of drugs - but do not take over admin of the plans themselves

That seems WAY EASIER to setup, way less expensive, way less to worry about.  Just get the provinces and canadian plans to buy from the federal govt instead of dealing with the firms directly.  But let them continue to manage the programs

That should only cost say $20M / year to run instead of hundreds of millions but could theoretically achieve the same or maybe even better results.


First, Congress approved the budgets, the second 4 years of Obama's presidency had a Republican majority doing so.  Second, the debt increased by ~ 8 trillion, not more than 10 trillion.  Get your facts straight.


As Ronaldus Magnus often advised, “never say ‘never’ “.

Just because Felony-Shrillary has made a career of being a scoff law does not mean that the wheels of Justice - - which grind fine and slow - - will not at some point snatch her up and deposit her in what Mark Twain once described as “strong lodgings”.

Or are you by chance operating under the delusion that she did not commit some very serious crimes in violation of national security? (and oh how I hope you will answer in the affirmative)

In any event this spastic, incompetent tin eared, arrogant shrew finally ground her own political aspirations into dust when Donald Trump won an electoral majority last November. He did not win. She booted it.

Dr El-Erian, as usual, is spot on in his analysis.

Mr Powell will help the good times continue. Unemployment is 4.1%, GDP is 3%; jobless claims are at a 40 year low, consumer confidence is sky high as is the stock market, and inflation is below 2%.

President Trump can claim some of the credit for this excellent economy by his efforts to reduce unnecessary regulation and to reduce US corporate taxes which are among the world's highest.

Janet Yellen should be commended for her steady hand on the Fed's tiller.  She cooly and intelligently guided the Fed after the financial crisis;  she should receive full credit for having done so.

Dr El-Erian frequently comments on economic policy;  perhaps the Post could carry more of his insightful columns.

Good luck to Mr Powell in his new role as Fed Chairman.


Rubbish yourself.


"anti-Muslim sentiment of most of the EU"

Europeans have nothing on and pale in comparison to inhabitants of Hindustan and their centuries old hatreds of Muslims. Just 5-6 decades ago, in 1947, in Hindustan there were millions of killings and deaths due to simmering, cultural and religious hatreds. Even today they kill each other due to ingrained superstitions and hatreds. EU is a paradise in comparison. No wonder so many economic migrants from A-Stan, P-Stan, Iran, Hindustan and Burma trekked to get into the EU in 2016, fraudulently claiming they were Syrian.


Yes, sir!


I agree that the definition of what constitutes a hate is unclear and either needs to be refined or scrapped. I do understand the motivation. We as a nation, have yet to address our history of racism and it consequences. From black slavery to the genocidal policies against native Americans, to the past and current nativist movements, we have record of racist oppression that hasn't been openly and fairly discussed with a view to some kind of national resolution. Incidents such as this, the Travon Martin shooting, Rodney King, the history of lynching, all are symptomatic of the endemic racism of our country, and will continue to happen until we as a nation face up to and resolve our past.


Thanks for the heads up Rick.  Now I'm super-glad I just relocated here! :)

I would willingly pay more for a higher degree of quality. The bulk of imports from China are cheap junk well disguised to look attractive.  Decontenting  and chiseling are the order of the day. What's worse, the supply chain managers contracting for Chinese components for product assemblies do not maintain adequate controls over continuity of quality and the consumer is inevitably the victim.


They cut schools, troopers, snow plows etc. to make us feel the pain.

But when it comes to spending, both the legislature and Walker are still spending like there isn't a crisis.

Walker has opened two gas marketing offices, hired more consultants with executive salaries etc.

The legislature flaunts our wealth with free vacations and perks, fancy buildings and subsidized food.

It's almost as if they are creating a 'budget crisis' on purpose to make us suffer so we will finally give in,  pay income tax and give them access to the Permanent Fund so they can go on spending like they want to.

Fanatical Islamist Jihad deprived Arabs of land. They got a surprisingly strong Israel when they tried to destroy it in 1948. It was not Palestinian Arab land. The Turkish Ottoman empire had ruled their for 500 years. Jews and Arabs. Not that much had gone on there until Zionism. The Jews reclaimed neglected malaria infested swamps at the price of many dead.
The Muslims invaded in the 7th century but did not become a majority in Palestine until a couple of centuries before Columbus. It was disputed land for centuries but the Jewish people are indigenous to the land. It is not be natural law Arabic.
The Nazi comparisons are absurd.


My guess is that most Canadians won't care about this unless or until it becomes a reality, as is often the case with public policy. Unlike the business lobby, apparently, most Canadians seldom get very excited by theoretical policy matters. As far as I'm aware Morneau has said little publicly on the issue other than that his department is conducting a broad review of all tax exemptions, which reportedly collectively cost the federal treasury about $100 billion annually. Much of this generosity, of course, is extended to reduce the taxation of investment and business income. Employer-paid benefits plans represent only about 3 percent of the total, which should prompt a reasonably objective observer to wonder why the business lobby and its media acolytes have cast it, alone, as the litmus test of fairness and equity and to suspect that the strategy is likely a smokescreen.


I notice that O'Leary spends just enough time in Canada so he doesn't lose his health care.

And he isn't going to run for a seat until he is leader.  He won't run to be a backbencher.  If he loses the leadership race, he isn't running for the House of Commons.


What a coincidence? Judge Moore is running for the Senate seat in Alabama and now we have women making accusations against him. More tactics from the alt-left liberal progressive, secular humanist, anti-Christian democratIC party and its media wing. These women need to be investigated. The democratIC party knows they don't have to prove anything because they can do damage with just accusations. How about investigating Uranium Hillary?
 Bill (BJ) Clinton , accused rapist, taught our children that oral sex wasn't really sex? Was he the first pervert in the white house? I guess we don't know. I wonder about some of our earlier rich democratic presidents?


What's wrong with this guy?  He must come from a wealthy California family with that kind of money.  He has more money than brains because he could have gone down to any STRIP Club, picked out a HOT Panuni and for  $1,000.00-$2,000.00 taken her home and  made some hay while the sun shines, and afterwards, NO Questions asked,  NO Drama, NO JAIL TIME...........Dooooooohhhhhhhhh.  This guy should have talked to Homer first...................


I agree that it has to be more than a simple majority of votes cast, but I think the voting threshold should be even higher than you suggest (maybe 60% by population)?  It is so fundamental a change,  so expensive and something that is almost impossible to undo.  The experience of independence could be great, but could turn out to be awful. There is no guarantee that Catalan will be let into the EU, if they want that, or be allowed access to the Schengen  zone.  They may have to negotiate trade treaties with the rest of the world from a position of weakness.  These things could all give a serious case of regret to the populace.  Given that downside risk, I think you need a solid super-majority to show that people truly want it before it can happen, because there just seems to be practically no going back.  The spurned rump of Spain is going to be in no mood, for likely decades, if ever, to let a remorseful separatist Catalan back in if things don't work out for them.


Good job!


Yeah, well Trump made his declaration that the election was "rigged" before it even happened, which was indeed outrageous. Now that we have a pretty clear understanding that it actually was rigged in his favor that rather changes things. Trump may have been legally elected (with Putin and Julian Assange's help) but Congressman Lewis was right - his presidency is illegitimate and those of us who oppose him have every right to do so because of that glaring, shocking fact.

By the way, I notice you've been getting lots of up-votes from Marty E lately. Congratulations.


That's a pretty cynical statement.   This is a great opportunity for low income kids whos seldom have equal opportunity with students from financially stable families.

There are numerous ways to pay for this, including voluntary endowments given by the wealthy who are committed to improving the education of all students.   Successful people recognize the value of a good education, not just for the student but for the welfare of the nation.    Money spent on education can rightfully be called an investment, not a give away.

Middle class parents are also being priced out of providing college educations.   Much of that is due to the Oregon taxpayer, (and this is true in most states), withdrawing support from their state schools.    Take a long term look captain and see what percent of tuition was covered by taxpayers in the past decades.

Thank you PSU for making this possible.


They compare it to a good many other vehicles but without a price this comparison is mute. If it's 15% less than most of those others then it's probably a good buy, if its the same then it's debatable and if its more then forget it.


Itsssssssssss................... TIME for the Indians to CIRCLE THE WAGON TRAINS.............."DAGAWALODI"


119. When these means which We have pointed out do not fulfill the needs, particularly of a larger or poorer family, Christian charity towards our neighbor absolutely demands that those things which are lacking to the needy should be provided; hence it is incumbent on the rich to help the poor, so that, having an abundance of this world's goods, they may not expend them fruitlessly or completely squander them, but employ them for the support and well-being of those who lack the necessities of life. They who give of their substance to Christ in the person of His poor will receive from the Lord a most bountiful reward when He shall come to judge the world; they who act to the contrary will pay the penalty.[94] Not in vain does the Apostle warn us: "He that hath the substance of this world and shall see his brother in need, and shall shut up his bowels from him: how doth the charity of God abide in him?"[95]

What's the title of the book? Which publisher is publishing it?


Not as amazing as all the "blackhurt" when you show them the numbers proving that a "disproportionate" ratio of murders are committed by race.

Anyone with a mathematical clue would expect that a group that comprises some 80% of the population (whites) would commit a higher total number of murders.

Anyone without a clue would be hurt to discover that blacks, who make up only 13% of the population, commit about 60% of the murders.  Most of the time, it is by a black male, who make up only 7% of the population.  88% of the time a black person is murdered, it is by another black person.

Dis-proportionate.


And remember, the private sector is always cheaper than government.....


Here's a blatant falsehood for us all to contemplate: Bans always work.

The truth is, all kinds of things are banned by treaty, by national constitution, or by law. The corollary to that truth is that those banned things are done in secret all the time, and--sometimes--not in secret at all.

Here's a case in point--torture is banned:

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

Even Syria has signed and ratified the Convention, but Syria in known to torture people. So does China. As does the USA. And Russia. And...and...and...

The nuclear ban is a beautiful, romantic ideal that does little but ensure that nuclear weapons research will be carried out in secret.


The inflation numbers appear to be understated.  There are lots of "basic necessities" that have gone up quite a bit more than 2% per annum over the past decade.

Until the current OIA Ad's move along in life [those that still remember the ILH and OIA going their separate ways] you will forever have this problem.  It's really too bad.  Private schools have always recruited, Public schools use "G.E" to get players or other talented, influenced, academically or musically inclined students to come to their campus. That is how certain schools can go to the DOE and ask for more money when their campus' get over crowded and have too many students.
It's how the administration [principals, vice principals] moves up the DOE chain of command by them saying they ran a "big school".
Adding to what barak181 said--what if the smaller schools in the OIA get fed up with being beaten up  week after week that they form their own "D-II" league with the smaller ILH schools.  That would leave the big boys all alone as well.
Let's just hope it does not come to that.
OIA..learn to get along with others..life is full of compromise.


Trudeau and the Globe and Mail are completely out of touch with Canadians actual viewpoints!


Sorry folks he should not sign anything until special investigation is complete. Thats the one all the politicians insisted on


70%?, please list the programs that have been cut that much. The only items cut that much are capital projects. No state department has taken a cut anywhere near that. And if all these workers were "covered" by federal money we wouldnt have a deficit.  Your numbers dont add up.
P.S. I work in one of those capital projects that has taken over a 70% cut.


Well in the case of megaprojects, I do not believe it stands the test of fiesability. The article claims $552m in cost with only $1.2 in tax revenue. Not including the very expensive upkeep. So it would take....460 yrs to pay off the road? No income input goes back to this project. The road would be used as recreationally as the ALCAN. To include dwindling fueling stations inbetween.

Having 62 yrs experience here, i'm sure you see they can not even maintain the roads in Anchorage let alone a proposed JAR.


Don't worry.
Trudeau, like Trump, is a certified member of the uber establishment, doing the bidding of the world-wide 1% corporatist oligarch billionaires.
  If anyone thinks Trudeau is a "left wing progressive" about to challenge Donald Trump on anything substantial, they must think Thomas Mulcair is actually Che Guevara.
   A bit of a disagreement about refugees and maybe a difference in tweaking NAFTA that amounts to little but fodder for mainstream media and a distraction for would-be Canadian "progressives". That's all the international oligarchs will allow little Trudeau. He will be the smiley face that squeaked.
  If anyone is hoping Justin "stands up" to Trump's fascism, Justin has given them three strong reasons to think again: Trudeau's sale of access to the PMO, his hobnobbing with international celebrity, the Aga Khan, and most significantly, Trudeau's betrayal of his promise to reform the electoral system.


Thank you StewartBrian for adding to my vocabulary. McGuinty & Wynne have BOHICA'd  Ontario residents for too long. Time for voters to BOHICA Wynne and the Libs next year.


" Top Republicans have agreed to add $45 billion for battling opioids abuse to their struggling health care bill,"
Quick, put some lipstick on this pig!


Barefoot.


In other news, water is wet.


Yes, Dems supported slavery and Jim Crow, and starred the KKK.  Those at. the extreme Left are still working hard to keep people of color from advancing.  If they truly cared, Dems would not be protecting illegal aliens who lower wages and would be championing Trump's decision to bring better paying jobs to the US.


I enjoyed reading this! I am a Vegan in Alaska but I also live in the bush. Our stores don't carry many options for produce. Usually potatoes and oranges. Sometimes they have apples and lettuce but that is pretty rare. Full Circle is a huge blessing here. Reading this was super good to here as I will be in town for the summer and it's so nice to know that it is easier out there!


I'm a teacher. I have insight into how this is all working. Maybe one question Ontarians should be asking is, "Why are these changes not better studied?"

I saw one parent at the Peel District School Board evening meeting as the board if they actually KNEW if Muslim prayers were affecting academic achievement or a sense of belonging for non-Muslim kids. The board had no answer. Google Islamic Prayer in Peel Schools and see for yourself. The parents opposed to Muslim prayer are many and come in a variety of backgrounds. Hindus in particular object to these outrageous demands.

The teachers' unions are completely quiet in this issue. Why? They just stick out their hands for more money about pay. People like Barbara Hall at the Human Rights Commission get paid for paying out. It's not their money or their kids anyway. Accommodation for religion is not accommodation when it costs others time and money. It is state-supported obligation.


"A state court judge in Nevada on Tuesday expressed skepticism about a lawsuit filed by the Donald Trump campaign the day before that alleged that the closing times at certain early voting poll sites in Las Vegas had been illegally extended."

"The judge, at Tuesday's hearing, was visibly frustrated by the Trump campaign's request, particularly as it appeared the campaign had not first gone through the administrative route of asking the Nevada secretary of state to look into the issue."

“Are [the votes] not to be counted?” she said. “What are you saying? Why are we here? You want to preserve the poll data? That is offensive to me. Why don’t we wait to see if the secretary of state wants to do this?”

I like that old joke. But seriously you need a millon just to get started. No more working your way from deckhand to boat owner on deckhand pay.


Got that voters?  Manfort is being investigated  for having a mysterious $12 million bank account with his finger prints allover it.  And now  that the eye of the FBI tiger is all over this case, tRump says Manafort came to him and said, "Hey sugar daddy.  I have something to share with you..."  And tRump says he's going to keep his little sugar daddy held tightly underneath is sweaty armpit.


As one of the more simple clients of Airmiles, the loyalty program worked well in the beginning.  I would carry along my card, use it at the gas station, LCBO or other retailers, and when 25 miles were accumulated I would redeem it for a 2-for-1 movie pass.  I'm sure there were tens of thousands (perhaps more) clients who did the same thing.

When Airmiles started cutting off the simple rewards (or making them cost more in miles), I would like the program less and less.  It seemed like I was not the client Airmiles was looking for.

When Airmiles moved into the "cash" vs "dream" categories, forcing me to choose one or the other, then made it impossible to accumulate sufficient dream miles for simple rewards, I became vexed.

But when I was left with 29 cash miles and 229 dream miles and they were to expire soon, I quickly changed my Airmiles credit card and made my wallet a little thinner.

If I were one of the Airmile partners, I would carefully look at my falling sales figures..


I think that the Democrat Party today is still a party filled with hate:
1) It hates the unborn.
2) It hates white folks.
3) It hates rural folks.
4) It hates "unsophisticated" folks.
5) It hates religious folks.
6) It hates patriotic folks.
7) It hates "uneducated" folks.
8) It hates small towns.
9) It hates anyone who refuses to genuflect to its shibboleths.
10) Etc...


Parliamentary budget officer has demonstrated that the Conservatives left a surplus. You are a typical low-information Liberal voter, Undecided2011.


I have been involved with these groups and I think the follow up organization after the approximately 4 million women march nationwide...and we are talking about groups in the many many thousands in many many cities...was the healthcare issue.

Women are passionate about protecting healthcare for those 22,000,000 to 32,000,000 poor and elderly who were proposed to be thrown off Obamacare....without a doubt it was a key issue.

Folks toook a dim view of Trumps airport shanigans hence the rush to the airports, folks objected to abandoning the Paris Accords, hence the marches for the environment and it goes on and on.

Folks also learned from the Indivisible Guide...just how to get the attention of their legislators (it was written by staffers).

Please note the NYTime piece on this movement...

In the context of history, these two cases (St. John's and Halifax) are bizarre.  Here's why:

Clearly the pivotal issue is NOT 'consent', although women's groups would have us think so.  In these cases, nobody can determine whether the women consented or not. Besides, the real issue is alcohol abuse, i.e.: not just "tipsy" but intoxicated to the point of mental blackout.  In the historical context, it would be drunken MEN who couldn't remember.  Not now: today ("you've come a long way, baby",) it's the WOMEN who are publicly plastered. The men under investigation are...well, as sober as a judge, so to speak.

Exactly 100 years ago, prohibition ruled the land, because men couldn't handle drink--they beat girl-friends and wives, robbed their children of food (because they drank their pay away).  Women led the attack against booze.

This time, maybe men should lead the attack.  Back to Prohibition, perhaps, to protect both men--from criminal charges--and women--from themselves.


Constitutions are intended to preserve practical and substantial rights, not to maintain theories. Davis v. Mills, 194 U.S. 451, 457 (1904)General propositions do not decide concrete cases.
198 U.S. at 76 A page of history is worth a volume of logic.
New York Trust Co. v. Eisner, 256 U.S. 345, 349 (1921)

Shouldn't we all be concerned by Israel's crimes, and the glaring hypocrisy of our governments and mass media?


Nothing new there. I havr been held at borders all of the world for hours if not days deoensing on the country. Even the usa, specifically attending a co ference as a speaker, they were trying to determine if i was entering the usa to gain employment.  What is the issue, my anecsote is as valid as theirs!  Besides regardless od what we all think, it is the us border agency's right to question you and if you are not a citizen deny you entry; If you feel hard done by appeal- there is actually a process. But sitting in Canada and complaining about what-ifs just sounds like enititement and hyperbole to me.


Dairy prices in Canada are an udder disgrace. Low income families should be able to have access to fundamental staples in the Canadian food guide at affordable prices! The number 1 request at food banks is for MILK. This has to stop and the fat cat dairy producers need to be Trumped for the sake of  hard pressed Canadian families - - you know, the families our government is focussed on helping, Pay off the producers and turn them loose in open markets like Australia and New Zealand did years ago.


There are a lot of assumptions here that these young men are inherently innocent. Why is that?

A database of thousands of photos -- that is atrocious. This is not one meager violation of the law. This is thousands of intentional violations of the law.

Be with the victims. I'm sure we can't imagine how troubling this has been.


And Quebec's turn away from the NDP because of Mulcair's stance on the niqab.


Exactly.  Why do I need a break? Trump is doing the same thing.


When engaging with nature my favorite meth is with my 27 foot travel trailer.  Hooked up to a 30 amp power source each night preferably.


I have an idea, stop raising taxes to the point where working people cannot afford a home.


"The Rs are great at making excuses for their failures."
they plan failures too and part of the plan is pre-identifying the scapegoat.


This is unfortunate but, let's look on the bright side. He is will to fix things and he not disputing this. He knows he broke the law and is doing things to make sure he doesn't break it again.

We break the law once in our lives, it's what we do after we break the law that defines us.


Harper crafted the current ruleset for the Ethics and Conflict of Interest Commissioner.


As many readers have observed, Mr. Morneau will get a huge tax break from his donation to charity, and I expect that it will be arranged that the donation will come from him personally, as opposed to from one of his companies, so that the tax credit is based on the higher, individual  tax rate instead of a corporate rate.

Also, there is no reason to believe that he won't also be granted an option to repurchase those shares at 2017 prices after he leaves politics.  There are many ways for Morneau-Shepell  'keep him whole', and he is certainly not short of good advisors on executive compensation.


Allan Ross: The argument made in the article is that the M-103 is essentially toothless and irrelevant. So why bother with it anyway? Of course, there's an element of political mischief making involved. But the motion itself contains some dangerously broad verbiage, such as its blanket condemnation of "Islamophobia and all forms of systemic racism and religious discrimination." What does "all forms" mean? We already have a pretty concise definition of hates crimes in our criminal law and actual discrimination is addressed under federal and provincial human rights laws. So what else is in play if we continue down the "all forms" road? That's what properly scares people who care about democracy and all its inherent rights. Remember that words matter.


“They might be more empowered to shoot for initiatives,” Halle said of a possible future strategy, instead of relying on legislated limits or reactions to limits.

And this is further evidence of why I've said that initiatives are a way of circumventing our Republic and why they should be rejected at all costs.


There was an excellent presentation put on by Max Beeken of the Coast Range Forest Watch  at the U of O a couple of weeks ago on the Elliott State Forest.  He and other biologists have been doing surveys of endangered species and if not for their many hours of volunteer work- many old growth stands of forest would be cut and species' habitat destroyed in the Elliott.   He also makes a good case that the sale of the Elliott is totally unnecessary economically.  I believe it will be posted on the website soon.  Information is power.


More baloney, this U.S. House panel and the democrats are one the same. Trump already stated he doesn't have any tapes, period, the end, finito.
It's all a farce, they should be careful it doesn't turn around and start asking questions about Obama- Hillary murky  deals while in office.


Excellent post, but those in charge haven't been listening and I doubt they'll start to anytime soon. Too much money and promises involved.


I doubt that since every single person will die anyway!  Very few people go to any foreign country for health care or operations while some go across borders for medicines.

Where in the Constitution does it say anything about a federal gov't taking care of every single person who lives here?


Why do I doubt the Paris Accord includes the phrase "billions and billions to every tin pot dictator"?
Perhaps your research is a little less than complete? Like the fact it is all voluntary?
Besides , that what the U.S. does. Hussain, Shaw of Iran, Sudat to name a few.


first.  If CBC was the source then the problem is worse than they stated, much worse.  Second build the wall and build it high


The forests in the Tongass are primarily rotten , low grade Hemlock, that should still be going to pulp mills. Clinton effectively shut down KPC and the Sitka mill thus denying a market for the bulk of the wood on the TNF. Viking is the only mill left on the forest; once the NO crowd denies them raw material it's over. If you think some one will build a small log mill for second growth your drinking the Koolaid; not gonna happen cause they can't compete with the lower 48.

We need to be exempt from this rule and still produce high grade boards that will support family wage jobs for Alaskans.


In the United States it is a felonious act to fail to report child and adolescent sexual abuse to the authorities immediately.
Considering this almost all of the men who are clerical leaders i.e. Cardinals, Archbishops, Bishops and diocese vicars of the Roman Catholic Church are criminals.


amazing how simple minded fools belittle my mother's accomplishments, especially after she spent 40+ years fighting for better safety laws protecting blue collar workers. You're not going to find anything on the subject today as for the last 30 years there has been a war on tobacco. Everything written on the subject  covers a heavy smoker., which as I stated is quite harmful and especially for asthma. Before inhalers and drugs, doctors-nurses prescribed 1 cigarette a day to help asthma patients as you will find all over Google, people who attest a smoke helped them breath easier. That's 1 a day, not 20. this is why back in the 60's my mother told patients to do just that, which was common, not because of big tobacco as your delusions allude to when demonizing the industries she worked for with grade school tripe.


Bigly tapes. Trust me.


Not really bizarre, look at the participation rate.  Your posts indicate why you're barely making $13/hr and unemployable.  Try harder because it's not them, it's you.


The audacity of claiming Clinton's campaign is running on insults from the team where all Mexicans are rapist, all Muslims are terrorist, et al is truly insulting.


Wow, Mike I just don't get this policy.  I guess I will have to email CC to explain it further.  I'm sure I have let a lot of snark pass from left and right and I don't seem to have an email.


Careful what you wish for.  A nuclear attack on the US could also work amazingly quickly and permanently to put the US in a place it has not anticipated.


If the implication being set forth here is that the sexual assault charges may have played a role in prompting the suicide, then you would have to admit that their inclusion in this article is warranted.


It is interesting how quick the Register-Guard is to drop the names of the Koch brothers as supporters of the Tax Foundation, but does not mention the supporters of the Yes on Measure 97 campaign. So here they are:

National Education Association $1.85 million
American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees $1.25 million
Oregon Education Association $1 million
American Federation of Teachers $750,000

The amounts given were the totals for this week alone, according to Willamette Week.

It is clear the teachers unions and government employees are fully on board with 97 as it would add to their membership (17,000 public sector jobs are forecast to be created, but at the expense of 39,000 private sector jobs), and would allow the Oregon legislature to shift current funding from schools to pay the PERS obligations once Measure 97 proceeds are available to use as a replacement.

If this seems at all self interested to you, vote no on Measure 97.


I also elect to receive hard copies of annual and quarterly reports in the mail. Since I currently have 22 different equity positions my mail box occasionally fills to overflowing. I actually read the things........Rogers Sugar being the most recent annual to fill my mail box.

Ah.....Rogers Sugar.....a sweet little dividend payer! (I couldn't resist).


Let's quit talking and do something about no hopers
Drug traffickers are murders and terrorist exicute them


There is no "towel" to throw, after the event has happened. Either the affected people have partial/full flood coverage in their home insurance, or they don't.  If they don't, there is no way taxpayers should cover them, ever...  It does not matter why they do not have coverage - they chose not to buy it, or could not get it, period, because the risk was too high.  But when everybody knows that a dumb government will bail you out, you build in the flood zone anyway.  You can always pin a thank-you card to taxpayers up at the Legislature!


I know at least one disgruntled customer who had a very bad experience with Airbnb abroad, the owners were clearly out to extort him, and there was no good resolution.

Anecdotal evidence, sure, but evidence it isn't all wonderful.


What is it?
India Call Centre funded by the globalists Day?

Britain will prosper as millions of people and ideas flood into the region.
It already has had massive expansion of its economy in a few months.

Lies and other things eh?


Wait it  was the Russians, wait it was the North Koreans, wait it was the Chinese, wait it was granny in Topeka, wait it was ME, wait it was the Democrats, wait it was the New York Post, wait it was the New York Times, wait it was that damn Troll, Wait it was a BOT, wait it was those nasty Republicans, wait it is Jill Stein working with a BOT, wait it was Bernie the Communist, wait until January 20th, cause none of these petitions for a recount will change anything, wait for Obama to immediately begin his attacks on his legacy of corruption. Heck I think I'll wait two years and watch 23 Democrats try to get elected.

Mean while "back at the ranch" there could just be some more insanity coming out of universities and their safe spaces, cry spaces,  no conservatives allowed to talk, BLM marching, shooting at Wal- Mart over parking places, sanctuary cities, sanctuary police departments, college graduates reading at the 4th and 5th grade level.
Where have all the sane folks gone? WAIT


Obviously, I am not the only one. My main mission is to protect my children from the corruption your generation has foisted on society (which their Grandmother is part of). Perhaps it the protesting hippies had spent a little more time with their kids and less time complaining, "checking out" and protesting,  they would have a little more respect from the younger generation. Nothing to fear except for fear itself, Gary.


Is it possible to limit Richard Johnsons comments to one or is he a civil beat donor.  Not only is he rude, he does not provide discussion he is an immature pechulant child asking for attention.  Esq means a lawyer not practicing law, did his liscense get revoked due to incompetence?


Has anyone watched the movie "America Made"? Good portrayal of our foreign policy against Russia and communists. Applies to the Koreans. We have interfered too much.

Like it that the movie has so much humor. Great acting. Otherwise it would be depressing to watch ham-handed US foreign policy in Central America.


if you pull your head from your bum and be original instead of regurgitating talking points you were told like a mindless sheep, I said the FED, not Obama, and the fed has done a horrid job at enforcing our immigration law and why there are 22 million illegals in our country today.  take your straw elsewhere SHEEP.


Can you not read...."Donahue faces two counts of reckless endangering.". If it wasn't child endangerment,  child protective services would not have taken het children.


indystar:"By enacting this legislation, we take an important step in protecting the unborn, while still providing an exception for the life of the mother. I sign this legislation with a prayer that God would continue to bless these precious children, mothers and families.”

cutting edge: so you say, what?


The question remains what Trump's ties to Russia really are and how much he is in the pocket of Putin.
The suspicion will always be there unless he finally releases his tax returns to prove he has no business ties to Russia.
Unfortunately, his base is too stupid or too cowardly to demand truth in the era of alternative facts.


But SailFish2, we all work to have laws that treats us all equally, as a citizen of the United States.  If you "feel the pain of prejudice", it must be you and not the rest of the Americans.


Richard,
Republicans are perfectly capable of winning both the popular vote and electoral college. W. Bush did it in 2004, his father in 1988, Reagan twice in 1984 and 1980, Nixon twice, Eisenhower twice.

Oh and 4.5 million people in California voted for Trump, nearly 3 million in New York. If the EC were changed, middle Americans would have the same voice as everyone else--on person, one vote.


do you assholes remember Pelosi's saying:"we have to pass it to find out whats in it",remember voting on that,I guess not


jimetjules,
I'm aware of the conditions, but are you aware of the fact that Canadians are never ever ever ever ever going to agree to Quebec having a veto on constitutional matters.


The difference being I'm not on here making statements about climate change and sea turtle populations...

I'll defer to the real scientists, not comment board experts like yourself.


Agreed. In the interior of B.C. it is not earthquakes that are the primary concern but forest fires. But people keep building homes in areas that have no fire protection so they cannot get (or say that they cannot afford) fire insurance. Therefore when they lose their homes they go screaming to the provincial government for compensation.


Mueller is conducting a criminal investigation. The congressional investigations are security investigations.


2025??? We are looking at 2050 if Bombardier gets the contract and if they also get another cash in-flow from the governments. Well, maybe 2050!!!


When the most well known American Adventist of our day speaks against upholding the Geneva conventions, this comment is absolutely spot on.


Pity Bill Beacon  didn't report the score.


Republican Texas Congressman and perpetual troll Steve Stockman appeared in shackles before a judge today to answer charges that he laundered money through a Nevada non-profit organization which received one donation in the amount of $350,000.00 to his personal campaign account via his employees.

Stockman shackled and in a cell is fitting, no?


Had the NDP not had so much baggage from the past and if they were more friendly towards the interior she probably would have lost outright.  The fact the NDP couldn't defeat the party badly after 16 years of baggage says a lot about them.  Off course assuming they do form government, people will judge them on their record then, not how they governed in the 90s.


Lol. love these pairings. If you want to learn more about each individual cannabis strain you should check out http://www.wikileaf.com/strains/ or Leafly and MedicalJane have info too...

.
true - but in my defence I still see him on cbc.  And he appeared on that pinko commie channel for a long time and cashed their cheques (yes I know HNIC was one of the few money makers at cbc tv, but it would be hard to argue that was directly the result of cherry).  In fact it could easily be argued that without cbc Cherry would have no career at all.


In the end there is no answer, regardless of the pietistic sermonizing; there is only response. It may be reinforced by faith/ideology but to contend that it determines is to fool oneself.
One is either a Sisyphus or not.


Last I checked the Democrats weren't in control of the Presidency, Senate, or House. In fact, they have been frozen out of any participation at all. Nice try to deflect some of blame for all three of these entirely incompetent sets of Republicans. It's way past time to replace all three of them and we aren't even one year in yet. And no, I'm not a Democrat or any other partisan destroying this country in DC.


Hillary Clinton didn't "sign off" on transfer of any uranium to Russia; what she did was approve the sale of private mineral rights to an international mining consortium in Canada, which Russia subsequently  bought from the Canadians. This makes no difference because yellowcake, the uranium ore in question, can't be sold to anyone outside the US without state department permission. Furthermore, as Twyford should be aware, Russia and the US have traded yellowcake and uranium back and forth legally for years. This deal was primarily a propaganda core for Putin. Given sanctions, Putin likely won't get any of that ore.

James Comey is no longer an employee of the US government.

The FBI got Clinton's emails from two sources. Nothing that was found merited recommending charges by the Justice Dept.

In what way do these half-baked conspiracy fantasies merit publication in anything other than a trash tabloid?


We could just stop paying corporate welfare.

We would not have a revenue shortfall at all if we simply stopped paying corporate welfare.

Trouble is, no one will acknowledge that corporate welfare is what put us in this mess,

…let alone will anyone in office allow corporate welfare to even be questioned.

Until Alaska wants to address the actual problem, the Treasury and the Permanent Fund will be handed over to continue the funding of corporate welfare.

No one is acknowledging the actual problem.

No one is offering the actual solution to the problem.

It's all smoke and mirrors in the effort to continue the corporate gravy train.


God ordained the death penalty. Oh, my!

Paul:  She was with a group of others and became separated from them.

I really DESPISE people who go out into the  desolate forest and mountain  areas, and get lost.  This woman was with a group and still got lost.  What does this say about her conference?????    Geeeee Officer, I stopped to take a toke from the pipe, I turned around and the group had disappeared..........Nobody should be allowed to go out  into these areas without a GPS unit and also know how to use it properly......If NOT, stay the Heck out of these areas..................Even Homer Simpson would take a GPS.  Dooohhhhhhh..........


Actually, that was Frank Peratrovich, Roy's older brother (they were among sixteen children on their father's side, by three wives).  He is not to be confused with Frank Allen Peratrovich, the middle of Roy and Elizabeth's three children, because there are websites out there which have done exactly that.  Frank Peratrovich earned his first bit of fame a decade or so before Roy and Elizabeth.  Governor Troy appointed him to administer a social welfare program, making him the first Native to serve at that level in the history of the territorial government.  He quit that position when he discovered that Natives were excluded from receiving benefits under the program he was charged with administering.


Speaking as a resident of the District for 25 years, South Suburban has prudently managed its financial resources which has afforded residents to enjoy its excellent programs and facilities, contributing greatly to the quality of life to those who participate. A vote in favor of 4B and 4C is strongly recommended.


The moon is made of cheese.


The Alaska delegates fall into line attaching themselves to the pachyderm ahead of them as they perform in the circus appropriate to their party symbol.   All of them attached to the tail ahead all the way to the bloated face with the permanent sneer on the giant screens standing on his hind legs with snout upraised and bellowing his hated for the nation and all of the rest of humanity.  A visage morphing more and more into the original fascist, Il Duce Mussolini, twins in facial features demonstrating total disdain for all others.

Dude, keep your agoraphobia to yourself.  Don't make me Google up the number of concerts/sporting events/political rallies held around the globe every year to the number of nutbag shootings.

Turn off your TV and live a little.


Interesting idea but the fix is in. Shoppers and the LCBO will take over.


Those voodoo numbers do not compensate for the downsides like range anxiety and recharge time.


Canie: Oh come on don't be so cute, why are you posting on a big league board, and with the big leaguers if your focus is simply junior hockey, you know excatley what I am talking about. I am not Saullie nor Nurnie sport. You know that as well?
