Hard to understand why there isn't outrage from the population. I believe the free wheeling decision making is a result one one party control and a complicit, and very limited, local media. It's not a healthy situation. One person who I know would disagree is Nancy Pelosi, who famously said (when She was Speaker),"There's no need for two parties". Scary.


Send over to dennism. He's volunteered to take them in:

"If my brother or sister were homeless, I would take him/her in, help him get on his feet and expect him/her to 'get with it'. "


Gosh Sarah, you sound like you're about to be layed-off.  Maybe you should apply at the city, they may have an open position for you.


"Why, thank you, kindly for the sociology lesson. Clearly, you are an expert. "

Thanks for the sarcasm - - is that civil?


The  group of Trump's  jr clowns that lurk here; I don't think they understand.  They are in a large part, the problem


Or "Where's Waldo"


Guess what!!!  Univ. of Central Florida with McKenzie Milton (Mililani) is ranked No. 25 in both the AP poll and the Coaches poll.  Where is UH???


you plan on adopting soon then ?


with so much bad news lately it's refreshing to see something positive for a change!


You might take note of history.   Hurricane Katrina occurred in late summer of 2005.     W was president then.    President Obama was elected in 2008.   Of course, facts don't mean much to some people these days.


what an absolutely fabulous idea.  It would be very appropriate for Alaska. Think of all the money we could save if all the pols and appointees who are lawyers were forced to serve rather than be served.


Pulling the PTSD card is a disservice to those trying to get their lives back.  It is not an excuse for bad choses.  To pull the defense card if you do not believe the PTSD card  is a joke.  Genghis did not have a weapon.  He was hit with a ax in the back of the head first, then shot with a hand gun, and to finish the job had his head blown off with a  rifle.  You have to ask at what point would Paul have been able to call 911 or run if he was so threatened.  He has had 2 and a half years free on bail to come up with a plea.  The fact is the prosecutor caved.


$26 million isn't enough to educate the ignorant and bigoted folks who stand in the way of civil rights.  Ignorance and bigotry are very persistent opponents.


Tough laws on abuse.  Liberal laws on use.


It's their sentience that inspires our wonder at cetaceans and other animals. Otherwise they would just be muscular plants. Respect the sentience of all creatures. Other than to rescue them from death, there is no moral justification for imprisoning animals in cages or pools.


John McCain is a liar. Americans do not want globalization. Period.


Hello !!! ...

If you don't want to make an interest-free loan to the government every pay period... Change your withholding!

If you want to make income that the government doesn't know about buy a laundromat.

For most of the paycheck to paycheck crowd that tax refund is the only saving they do and then when they get it at the end of the year they blow it like a sailor on leave


TRUMP WINS!


The big question is how do we undo this slow moving tsunami before it ruins this city and this state?


he was elected by the public. I surprised he did not ask for recount in CA, where at least 3 million illegals are able to vote using legal drive licences. I guess with electoral college he does not need too for now.


Apparently no one at the Washington Post has opened a Skymall catalog on a plane.


A house on my street that sold for $360K 6 years ago just closed for $900K. That's some kind of crazy increase.


You seem to be missing the point Joe cool was making: if gains for GM are taxed away or lost to competition the incentive to move to south vanishes.


Whereas his post was ok? I imagine Andi is sick and tired of being called "elite" because we value education. I'm tired of it too.  If you don't value education, don't get educated.  But don't whine and make excuses that you can't get a better job or whatever because you chose not to get a degree.  Having a degree is not some magic bean that automatically drops a high paying job in your lap.  I've worked extremely hard my entire life.


Us, South Africa look like such chumps in this cartoon. No resistance to being sold to the Gupta's


Terrorist attack on Canadian soil...no comments allowed.
Terrorist attack on US soil...comments open.


I think the DP forgot to add the "To read the full story on the Daily Camera..." link.


So sessions isnt a racist or a bigot?


Poll release exclusively to the Globe eh? Sounds like an Exclusive piece of Rubbish. If I call you on the phone and I'm a total stranger to you and out of the blue I ask you: "Yo, do you like the immigration situation ???" Maybe you're going to say yes because you've been passively & even actively badgered for the past ______ days/months/years that if you say anything CONTRA-IMMIGRATION, that makes you... well, as the kids say: "literally hitler." So nobody wants to be hitler right? Point being, the so called accuracy of these so called surveys is in line with asking people about their sex life and expecting Real Answers. Whatever.


Exactly.  It is the marriage partners themselves who bestow the sacrament.  The priest acts as official church witness.  If that is the case, marriages witnessed by SSPX priests (or even those witnessed by anyone else) are all valid, though the ones without RCC priests may not be canonically licit.  As for the Sacrament of Reconciliation, it is God Who extends pardon, not the priest.  God forgives us as soon as we sincerely ask for pardon - no witness is required.  We go to confession not to receive forgiveness but to show solidarity with the Body of Christ and to acknowledge the damage we have done to the People of God.


In 2011 they took only 5 seats in Quebec.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Results_of_the_Canadian_federal_election,_2011#Quebec

Still a majority with 166 seats total, though.  The only reason they pulled it off was that the Orange wave in QC shattererd the usual Liberal walk there.  If they'd been able to field a decent candidate, it would  have been a very different story for little Stevie.


I dont think you understand what the term lame duck means...


You have a serious mental problem if you find this funny burde.... whatever.


20 years ago a fair trade agreement would not have stirred the pot, but today it's a stand against the growing trend towards protectionism that is sweeping across Europe and the U.S. History has shown that protectionist countries eventually fall behind. This is bigger than saving factory jobs, this is about saving a globalism.

As for those factory jobs... statistically, more factory jobs are being lost to automation than to fair trade. Protectionism touted by populist governments is not going to stop automation, and therefore won't stop job losses.


He has to start wearing pantsuits first.


Anyone who has followed Liberal policy over the years knows that ethics have nothing do with this. It is whatever they can get away with and win an election.


I'm with Picard. Let's build public washrooms as part of a re-civilization of our cities.
-
instead of running on carbon tax politicians should run on a platform of building public washrooms
Trudeau?
Wynne?
public washrooms are more their thing


Rule of Law
is it unreasonable to ban for only 90 days people from only 7 countries where terrorists and ISIS are operating
7 countries that Obama  identified as countries of concern

just to prevent terrorists sneaking in

in the ivory tower of these authors that is against rule of law
not to common people with common sense


Sadly, these guys have a license to kill.


Alaska is owed billions from unpaid audits after oil companies were caught inflating costs.

Walker proposing an income tax to raise $100 million is an absurd waste of time and money.

Every one of the House and Senate proposals is sticking it to Alaskans in order to allow the continued theft of our oil.

They know that billions are owed but want to make Alaskans pay in the hopes that oil companies will get out of paying their bills by fixing the courts in the repeals process.

They need to sue oil companies for the billions we are owed, Amerada Hess anyone?

Then fix the oil tax structure so that they cannot steal all of our wealth.

The House bill also fails miserably in this. They all suck, I hope all this BS goes down in flames and the legislature is forced to face their obvious corruption.

Where is the FBI?  How do we get another investigation?  They don't need a wiretap, they are all very open with the corruption now.


Relax .............. no one was beaten or injured  .
It was far more peaceful than a Trump rally.


Hey, why was my comment removed?

I was simply reporting that the moth named after Trump has a small John Henry.

Or can I not use the word 'penis'? (Wonder if this will be depleted? Still figuring out the words that we can use and not use.)


" “Go to the mattresses,” a line from the film “The Godfather” about turning to tough mercenaries during troubled times, has circulated among Trump’s friends, said two people close to the war room discussions."

So Trump and his staff's solution to being out of control and more belligerent is to be more out of control and more belligerent.  Grab the popcorn, this could be comical (and sad).


Crime is down but law enforcement is outnumbered and there isn't any money. The thieves are stealing dividends, elections and oil.


I think you need to post a sarcasm alert as some may think you are serious as the content of your post is pretty much identical to many of the Trumpanzees.


All of America would expect a moronic democrat to tell the world our secrets!


It appears that Comey's testimony exposed the president*.  However, what I heard and saw was apparently not what others did.


I agree that the Donut Shop comments are probably not an accurate stereotype and I also agree that they spend too much on the non-essentials you cited. However, the real reason it's open season on law enforcement is because many citizens are tired of law enforcement excelling at intimidation and generating revenue (speed traps, event enforcement, parking fines, etc.). They are very poor in critical areas such as neighborhood patrolling to deter crime,  timeliness and follow up of non emergency crimes,  outreach and immersion into the community and being genuinely friendly. We pay these people, we are their employers and yet it seems their focus is to collect money from us for piddly violations.


Why bother working! The cash they are getting from the taxpayer is amazing!

Cant find employment! Check, same as Canadians. At least Canadians speak one or both of our official languages. Good luck checking the University/College diplomas from Syria!


Yeah. We miss the record number of deficits, right?!


Come on, Gary.  I have an MBA, am a CPA, worked for one of those big accounting firms for 10 years, healthcare and tech firms for 30 years.  So I know you don't know much in those areas.


Standard multiplication tables would cover up to 12x12.  That's for immediate recall.  However, the distributive property, which makes 23 x 412 quite a simple exercise, is part of the grade 5 curriculum.  I went to a math night for my kid when she was in grade 5 only to discover (a) kids were not being taught what they were supposed to be taught, and perhaps more alarming, (b) the majority of parents had expectations so low that living in a world where the most difficult math one might do in one's head should be limited to 12x12.    I taught my kid that night.  It took 10 minutes.   There is another point to be made, and that could be an article on its own, and that is that candidates for teacher's college not so long ago got in on the basis of their marks, and so young kids today are learning math from English and History majors who, for the most part, can't do grade 5 math.  Hence the problem.  There should be dedicated math teachers, just as there are language teachers.


Just jack up the fines for damage, just like when all of the communication lines were getting cut by careless contractors who were more concerned about profits than damaging utilities. Hit 'em where it hurts.


When you act like a child you get treated like a child.


Don't worry - globalism and free trade will make it even worse. Wait until the agency staff are competing with TFW's from China being paid a pittance. It's a race to the bottom and that's the way the 0.01% want it.


Listen Albertans, you're completely "stuck!" You have no sea port to "export" your natural product out of your territory! No exit to the North ! No way out East!
Even less towards the South and the worst of it, no way out West to "export" your product to China! So to find a quick solution to your problem without constantly whining about the rest of Canada to be non-cooperative


Speaking of Gold Star Mothers... Trump raking over the coals a Muslim Gold Star Family is far more disgusting and offensive than a bunch of NFL players taking a knee to the National Anthem. Let's get our priorities straight and remember what our soldiers fight and die for: "One Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."


We need Sarah Werling-Sandwith on the board.
Sarah is a person that really understands both sides of the issues facing public education.   Sarah understands what living on the islands are like.  Seattle school district might need someone with 40 yrs of experience  but here on the Islands we need someone that understands what being an Islanders means.   Vote Sarah Werling-Sandwith for San Juan Island School District 149 School Board Director 1


No matter who is in power, they are all imperfect humans, & as such will do some stupid things, worse still, they will do self-serving things - to the disservice of everyone else. Hopefully, this time, the Reps will act honorably, pragmatically, use common sense, & be effective in returning our country to the Constitutional Republic it officially is.
Yeah, I'd like to see bi-partisan cooperation & fraternity, but already the Muslim wannabe chair of the DNC is voicing how Dems can corrupt the process in their efforts to obstruct the Reps.
One of my greatest dreads is that Pres.Trump will be the subject of assassination attempts, coming from both the established Left and the established Right.
I predict that Trump will keep his promises, build the Wall, do the other stuff & return our country to American Nationalism.  He will be vociferously opposed on practically all his efforts by the Left & many of the Right.


LMAO!  What a crock of bull!


With any luck, this will prove to be a self-eliminating problem, as those who would kill the unborn, eliminate themselves in so doing; from that same future, shared with those who do not. Speaking of which, if I am not mistaken, Canada's birth rate, has been below the replacement rate, for decades now: hence the need to import people just to keep this place going. I might add that since the Church is regularly criticized for opposing abortion, I would take this opportunity to remind everyone that it was that same Church, that was also furiously criticized, for opposing slavery in the Deep South, prior to the start of the Civil War in the USA. Since slavery there is now banned, I would draw the inference that in due course, so too, will abortion be likewise banned. Fortunately, this procedure can't be used to commit infanticide, where late term abortions that result in live births are then killed. https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/are-babies-left-to-die-when-they-survive-abortion


Amen Craig!!!


You're confusing "confident and dynamic" with arrogance, inexperience, and ignorance.


Who first brought up the notion that the election is rigged - and is still talking about it? Who asked the Russians to release more emails (first debate I think)?

Words have consequences -Donald got away with saying so much  (rapists, losers (McCain), crooked, opponent's fathers who were part of presidential assassination attempts), it was inevitable that this would come back and bite him.


Sen Donna Mercado Kim is RIGHT she said the problem was with DOT itself.  Director Fuchigami talks a good game, but cannot manage his own team. In 2016, the Harbors Administrator had his procurement authority suspended over a multi-million dollar security fiasco and was rewarded with several HUNDRED MILLION more in State bond funding for a terminal that should be funded (and managed) by industry.  This same Administrator was relieved of his duties previously at the Airports, then reassigned to Harbors (despite no maritime experience).  Too much nepotism, but frankly, this whole mess is what you get with a SINGLE PARTY state.


Hydrogen: You're challenged to plainly state the truth as you perceive it, and to support your views with evidence. What examples can you cite of business success by our state? Maybe the railroad, which of course is a monopoly and even then, Return on Assets and equity is anemic. Maybe the Ferry system, which hemorages cash? Surely you're aware of our many, many failures.

The problem is simply that people are careless with other people's money. There's no profit motive within government--no imperative to cut costs to meet financial goals or cash flow. IN fact, just the opposite.

Don't get me wrong; we have very smart and talented people working in State government. Some are brilliant. Almost all are great people. But much more is required to run a business.


It seems to me that the author is identifying church with clergy. I suspect that the abstention of clergy overshadows participation by a significant cadre of catholics (including nominal and "former") among the bigotry resisters, the equality supporters.
Our clergy, it seems, do not wish to jeopardize their position with their bishops who in turn, are significantly aligned with the likes of Jerry Falwell types.  They have no interest in compromising their advantageous allegiance to Trump, money and political influence.  More sensitive hierarchy have no interest in "calling out" their brothers, touting human moral values of equality, decency, civility, peace, justice by participating.
So much for demanding a voice in the public square.


Why is Cladwall authorizing vacation for 10,000 City workers?  Do 10K City workers all work in Waikiki?  Do all these City workers have Waikiki hotel side jobs?  As some other poster mentioned for 10K to just take a vacation with no adverse effect in City services means there are over 10K non essential City workers.  Also some other poster thinks Cladwall did this on purpose, possibly at the union’s bidding so thst they attend the protest marches against Trump. Probably true.  There will be major traffic jams on Oahu, NOT because of whether or not 10K City workers go to work.  The problem is the W Oahu/ Central Oahu to town university & private school commuting crowd on Friday that normally creates gridlock traffic will create the additional traffic nightmare with Trump’s visit to Oahu. If the University & private schools all cancelled classes & all school employees take a vacation day, that would make a real difference. Better play it safe by having bedpans in the car.


Who's going to administer a bike registration requirement and inforcment?


Ben became the first chairman of the Alaska Fisheries Marketing Board. It soon received millions of dollars in federal funds to distribute. 2006 awards included $516,709 to Ocean Beauty Seafoods, $444,852 to Peter Pan Seafoods, $418,942 to Icicle Seafoods, $369,706 to Trident Seafoods, and $187,432 to Norquest Seafoods, which is owned by Trident. The fisheries marketing board also gave the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute grants of $1.5 million to market wild Alaska seafood nationwide, and $750,000 to augment its nationwide television advertising campaign for Alaska seafood. Ted helped secure federal funds garnered from import fees on foreign seafood for distribution by the fisheries marketing board. Peter Pan, Trident, Icicle and the At-Sea Processors records were subpoenaed.


The empirical way to test coconut oil is through cycles of introduction and elimination. For me, skin benefits are noticeable, such as getting rid of recurring athlete's foot. The saturated fat lauric acid (C12:0) is evidently both a fungicide and anti-viral. The other dominant saturated fats (MCT oil) are metabolized by the liver into ketones. This is easily verified by measuring ketones. Ketones are the preferential fuel of the brain (supply driven rather than demand-driven like glucose). A lot of research has been done on the brain benefits of ketone-fuelling, especially by nutrition scientists at Johns Hopkins, Harvard and the Mayo clinic in respect of epilepsy and other neurological conditions. There is also research for ketones to boost mental performance of US Navy Seals at University of South Florida. Coconut oil and ketones have had measurable benefits for Alzheimer's. Dr. Mary Newport and Dr. Bredesen's Alzheimer's protocols use MCT oil and are now in clinical trials.


Canadian voters becoming more like petulant children everyday.  Admittedly the Alberta conservatives deserved to have their A's kicked but to vote in Notley rather than the Wild Rose party means these people deserve everything they get.  Same ting in Ontario and federally with a part-time rich heir school teacher at the helm being the adult joke of the century.  Historians will marvel as the childish socialist 'journalists' we have today are all googly eyed at their hero.  When Trudeau's incompetence and Trump's hardball policies have both had their day Canada could well be the new third world country of North Amerika.  Buckle up.


Not strangely enough, this story reminds me of the first and second episodes of the show Homeland.  The Boyle narrative is quite bizarre.  It is possible that an elaborate plot is underway.


Wait a minute, its clearly more unpleasant surviving a 100 days of Trump than 100 days of The Boy Blunder and Orville Redenbacher Lite.

I mean those 80% of Americans not buried nose deep in the government trough are frantic at the prospect of a huge tax cut in the next 100 days and a freeze on hiring more uncivil non-servants and a reduction already of 60% in Latinos illegally crossing the southern border into the US and the US reasserting its leadership in the world and jobs staying in and/or returning to the US and  big increases in economic growth and the markets and other changes we don't get the space to list here.

Its torture I tell you and as the lunatic left wing fringe that have taken control of the Democratic Party will "explain" Trump is as bad as if not worse than the North Korean dictator.

The only good thing about Trump's presidency is that it gives brain washed, intellectually lazy, untalented left wing hacks something to write about.

Like right here.


the working class of America was watching Trump. was there any real men at this dinner.


Not a bad idea, Taboot.

But I'm sure it also helps that the police station is a block away.


I had to speak up.  We all know the truth.  We all want to help but there is a difference between helping and being taken advantage of.  I am not cold hearted but when I am struggling and my PM (can't stand him) puts me last always and he gets away with murder with his personal useless agenda and I see so much tax payer waste, I seriously think that I should go on welfare - is that what we are teaching our kids?  Seriously these refugees should not receive preferential treatment over tax payers. NEVER.


"When all about you is blaming it on you...." Keep a cool head folks! Getting rid of everyone and anyone to appease bruised egos may not benefit the entire police force.


Ryan c'mon.  Your buddies decided it was prime time to dip their beaks.  Why the surprise?


To each their own. It is a lot of work to keep a bait site going, to be there at the right time, to judge an animal as harvestable or not. It is somewhat risky walking in on a predator as well. Whether to bait or spot/stalk is comparable to many other choices made in harvesting animals such as the ethics of using decoys v pass shooting, fly fishing v lures or bait, whether snagging is ethical or not, bow v rifle, etc. I'll leave the ethics up to the boards of fish and game and try not to be snob toward people who choose differently than I. And of course there are more and more people coming into Alaska who know nothing about game and fish harvesting and feel that doing so is wrong. Those people I just ignore


I'm not opposed to the Permanent Fund Dividend Reduction, but it cannot possibly come without a significant reduction in the oil tax credits. How on earth are the bought and paid for politicians rationalizing stealing from their constituents to pay their oil bosses? They must truly have no fear of ever losing an election


Who said he's a Trump supporter? All the guy said was he's going to complain to the president....as in, the president of Hawaiian Airlines. Duh!


Another informative article from Ned and the scientific community.  Wonderful news about the health of one of the most beautiful birds in the world.


My pension is paid in $ U.S. So I'm rooting for a low $ C.


I meant that when Ford was going to move production to Mexico, Trump slammed them on Twitter and then proposed a 35% import tax on vehicles made in Mexico but sold in the US. Ford immediately cancelled the plans. Where is Junior?


You and your alternates up all night eh. Good ol trump seems to be giving you sleep problems.


Luck is a huge part of the equation, but the skill and experience and judgement of the pilot saved lives today, including his own.


So the Canadian taxpayer pays out $375 Million to preserve an unknown number of 100K jobs.   I used to have a $100K job and no ones subsidized my salary.


Justin got 39% of the vote
so yes a minority voted for the Liberals
in fact 60% voted against
even with the fear mongering from "Anybody but Harper" campaign
even with dumb NDP voting strategically for Liberals


Thing is, NTA, your boy ran on draining the swamp, but has clearly been overruled by Prime Minister Butts.


Whineritis:

Thanks for you being you!

Q. E. D.


Politicians are no different then anyone else, they make mistakes. Trudeau made a mistake in his comments, and the realization of that is accounted for in his not attending the funeral for Castro.


Kagan, the only thing that they missed and couldn’t do anything about, was a Mafia-style, we-can-buy-and-bully our way into the White House with a little help from our Russian ‘Friends’ - they are so experienced at it, after all - esp. with the benefits of modern day info-technology too!


The HPV vaccine is garbage ... anyone giving it to their child should be thrown in jail for abuse.


I understand now Peggy! You own the trail's and the area around the trail's just by being a trapper and dog musher. The rest of us should call and ask if it is ok to "borrow" your trail. As far as agreeing with Richard. All I can say is God help us.


I'm gonna go eat get the popcorn and watch this one.  Ought to be fun!


The desperate Lieberals sure have a lot to say about the Tory leadership race. With the backbench revolting, the thing in Queens' Park doing a Chavaz on the economy of Ontario and the disadvantage of a carbon tax imposed on the country by The Little Potato the days are not as sunny as the rose coloured glasses led every lefty to believe.


You mean the China that under the Paris accords was allowed to pollute the air as much as they wanted until 2030 with no consequences whatsoever while the USA was required to take action immediately and send billions and billions and billions to third world dictators? That China?


Bob, there is an Adventism mindset of it being the final stop, therefore the only one, for modeling life. You have described what I concluded many years ago that there are countless ways to conduct life, all legitimate, outside of this one version.

Adventism promotes the myth that it is the holder of the final solution for personal and universal history. When I was a pastor I watched parents in tears because their child had adopted a different life. Their last resort was to pray them back into the "Truth" so they would see them in heaven.

I have no animas toward Adventism. My choice to opt out was not out of anger, or a result of "backsliding," but a conscious intellectual judgment. Hell doesn't await anyone (or their children) who follow their, mind, heart and conscience.


I wonder if Manafort hired some of the Russian trolls who are about to down vote this comment ...


What BS.
There is no "Iraqi Government".
Just a US colonial administration.


Liberal is becoming synonymous  with FUBAR!

Is there anything they haven't screwed up in the past year?


Actually...it does, pretty much.

And it does appear it is you following me, if one bothers to check the glow of conversation.  Apparently you are attempting to take lessons from another poster who tries to rely on sarcasm instead of discussion.  Try harder.

As far as nasty?  Yes.  You have changed.  We typically disagreed, but not like you do now. There are three other posters here who take nasty to amazing levels.  Are you trying to emulate them?


Nice to know the cabinet if full of toadies who'll say anything to keep their job.  It does sound familiar though...I got it!  The Dear Leader proclaimed this as infrastructure week...


Yeah it would sure be nice to sign up Nolan long term but without a solid closer plus reliable late inning relief, and probably a solid catcher too, it wouldn't matter other than to watch Nolan be Nolan in a lot of meaningless games. DJ would be tough to part with but Rockies will not be able to pay everyone so a trade is not so far fetched.


Move the port to Port Mac and save the funds for Dredging...


how can it be that we are sitting here comfortably worrying about football and cleaning up the garden before winter and 6000 Americans are writing their last will and testaments and finishing those painful letters to be delivered in case they don't come back again?  This is just not right; we have no reason to send our sons and daughters to fight in a black hole that has been destroying white people since the 19th century. the British lost hundreds of thousands of troops here during Victoria's reign, the Russians hundreds of thousands more.." He who does not learn from history is condemned to repeat it." Let's not sacrifice any more of our best and brightest in the quagmire that is the Hindu Kush. Bring them home and close the book.


Given Shakespeare's penchant for cross-dressing his characters, I can't imagine that he would be surprised by having a woman play a man's part.


If there isn't a law that has any meaningful consequences, why not apply to the court for an order lifting the publication ban on their names?  Name and shame.


I don't suffer fools gladly....I have a question for you. If I am complaining like a "weenie" about Trump, does that make you a "weenie" for complaining on a daily basis about "fake news"?


The defective concept ot conscience of the rigorists is tied to a defective conception of truth. They need to go back to Thomas Aquinas, and to metaphysics.


Bet the commission are really nervous about now. What if we pick the wrong person? Just ask the other City Dept for help. The ones who picked the wrong persons for the Rail.


Wait folks..   Sarah Palin is getting the Cdn Ambassador's job.  She can see us from her dog house so that gives her the inside track...


If "racism" is all you have going into 2018 and 2020, good luck is all I can say.

That's so completely played out at this point, no one is listening outside of your own echo chamber.


He's here for eight years?  That's a big assumption.  Not every president gets two terms.


The only thing that will ever stop Burke from his insane behavior is death.


I find it sad that the phrase “known homosexual “ has been used in this discussion as if this were the McArthy days and we were discussing “known communists”.  Really senator,  at long last, have you no shame?


As long as we play with agency budgets and do not provide funding to a staff large enough to audit all the oil companies on an on gong basis it will remain a problem.  Every now and the the legislature indicated they will privatize some of the auditing. When asked about the cost they toss out these huge cost figures.  When asked why they will not simply increase the budget for the existing state agency they toss out that would increase the number of state employees.  Then neither plan goes forward.


ok, we are ready to hear your solutions to balance the states' financial woes.
so instead of offering caustic criticism to other responses let us here how you would solve our problems.
please be specific.......


chicken fingers so small.


If Crudwell resigns as mayor he'd have to give up the sweet Territorial gig as well (he's pretty useless to the bank if he's not mayor) and that would bum him out.

On the bright side, however, he'd get to revert to that "historic home" property tax exemption we'd ALL love to have.


The rationale behind the "Major Contributor Report" (MCR) requirement is to add an element of transparency to large infusions of money in the month immediately before an election IN WHICH THE COMMITTEE OR CANDIDATE is active.
Basically, providing voters with information about the source of funding for any "October Surprise" -
it provides no useful information to voters (or anyone else) but adds a not insignificant compliance burden for those committees NOT active in the odd-year election.


This story convinced me to re invest in BBD
They need some outside blood to show them how to actually run a business,so hopefully they do merge.


'The New York Times reported this summer that he’s on track to insult 650 people, places and things on Twitter alone by the end of his first term.'

Such a patently one-sided view of things is hardly likely to promote civility.  No mention of a rabid press, an uncivil opposition party, and constantly increasing pressure on the line of civility from the political Left.


'Who knew that the healthcare was so complicated.."

Another shouting tantrum from the Bankster.


The article says that these construction costs are 15 million dollars. That's not even 1% of the total cost that you mention. Actually rail is almost completed halfway.

But operation will not start until these 15 million dollars and construction fixes are completed and the estimate time now is four years. But by that time we will already be starting on the second phase of the first increment of rail to Ala Moana.

2020 will probably see in operation more than halfway to the Ala Moana Center we'll probably the see a lot of traffic at that time to the airport and perhaps to the Honolulu Community College.


keep  in mind his first choice was the U.S. not Canada


No weak attempts to "repeal" the bill have gained any significant support from voters or legislators.

Support has been strong among Republicans, Democrats, and Independent voters, as well as every demographic group in every state surveyed. In the 41 red, blue, and purple states surveyed, overall support has been in the 67-81% range - in rural states, in small states, in Southern and border states, in big states, and in other states polled.

In WA, for example, after enactment, support remained steady, at 77% overall

Most Americans don't ultimately care whether their presidential candidate wins or loses in their state or district. Voters want to know, that no matter where they live, even if they were on the losing side, their vote actually was equally counted and mattered to their candidate.  Most Americans think it is wrong that the candidate with the most popular votes can lose. We don't allow this in any other election in our representative republic.


Darn right the liberals don't really like choice.

In the end liberal "choice" amounts to two things:

1) The right to an abortion

2) The right to be gay

They don't believe you should have the right to choose to keep and bear arms.  They don't believe you have the right to choose your own school--and empower the poor when it comes to education.  They don't believe you have the right to choose your own health care--and so on it goes.  Liberals indeed detest choice because they detest freedom.  They prefer government control.


Thanks for admitting how corrupt city hall is and how you participated in that and devolution of democracy while supporting an industry that has had little oversight.


A great read, Ross Coen!


Most produce regularly tested comes up negative. They even test some produce at swap meets. These are isolated incidents. Voluntary compliance is succesful.


I think it would help the discourse if people thought much more deeply, and less emotionally, and more soberly about the words "equality" and "rights"

We are given rights to effect duties we have by our nature and vocation.

I don't have a "right" to be a priest, because my vocation is to be married.

Duties come first...rights are given to execute our duties.

Much of the liberal and secular world only want to talk about "rights" as if they come first.  And in the end that's why there is much sadness.


Guess Roy made it out alright, no telling where he is now that Gorsuch has been confirmed.


You can check in online but you're certainly not going to board the plane without your passport being checked and your identity verified.

You want to use a taxpayer funded service you have to prove who you are, it's that simple.

Muslims might feel targeted but there isn't another religion out there whose practitioners regularly cover their faces.


You took the words right out of my mouth.  I am so happy for the whole halau, but especially for Tracie and Keawe.


Not only are governments allows to say 'no', they are OBLIGATED to say 'no' based on the notion of "Good governance".

Any politician that grants such corporate welfare, wasting massive amounts of taxpayers money in the process, is guilty of malfeasance and should probably be recalled.  They most certainly should NEVER been elected again as they are demonstrating incredibly poor judgement.

Sadly voters don't tend to hold their politicians to very high standards of honesty or integrity.


Two faced pitiful librarian!


Get the "real news"  from Breitbart and Drudge Report?  Ahahahahaha!  Are you for real?


How, in any way, can this be construed as a good thing?


It's been in a death spiral for what,  7 years now? How long are you geniuses going to keep repeating that lie to yourselves? Even Paul Ryan's CBO said it's stable.


And may I state that I DO have empathy for a pregnant woman.  My empathy, however, is not at the expense of another innocent human life. The empathy I have is for BOTH lives--which is why my empathy does not lead me to support abortion.

As for most Catholics not following Catholic teaching--what else is new? "Wide is the path that leads to destruction, narrow the path to life" says Jesus. I will stick with the minority because based on Jesus remark, I am in good company.

I make the mistake of comparing fetuses to adults and there is no comparison!!?? Except age, what is the difference?

As for pregnancy when the life of the mother is in danger--let me grant that an abortion is justifiable in that case. Would you support restrictions on abortion except when the life of the mother is in danger? If not, why bring up the life of the mother?


Well, he IS fat and unattractive.  Why is it okay when Trump says it but not a female legislator?  Hmmm....?

Boeselager would probably make a good choice for the top job in the Knights now. Having been on the receiving end of very bad leadership he may very well be just what the Knights need to get their act together. It would also be a big slap in the chops to Burke. Which would be nice.


If the construction of this telescope were being held up by a religious decree from a Christian leader or a Muslim imam, the comment pages would be filled with letters decrying the thwarting of science in the 21 century by ancient superstitious nonsense.  But since indigenous religions are seen to be in tune with our new-age eco sensibilities, there is nary a peep.


Israel is an Island of advanced civilization surrounded by regimes led by 7th century zealots. Hamas doesn't even recognize Israel's right to exist so why should Israel negotiate with rabid Islamists who use their neighbors as human shields for propaganda purposes? Russia took over the Sakhalins three weeks before the end of the World War II - crickets from the UN. It's not a secret that any discussion about a two-state solution has been soured by the UN's pathetic history of anti-Israeal bias. The UN is a joke, it has no credibility and the war in Syria continues to demonstrate as much. The sanctions against North Korea are doing wonders, same for Iran's ballistic missile program... but let's attack Israel while Hamas rewards the families of terrorist cowards who kill pregnant women at the grocery store.


Gsrys definition of 'troll' is anyone who dissgrees with his leftwing extremist world view.


Trump is promoting ethnic nationalism, not civic nationalism. Ethnic nationalism leads to war. Civic nationalism leads to improved infrastructure.


Not so. It is the private sector that is not keeping up. Big corporations and people like Trump live off the backs of the workers. Those who put up with miserly salaries and those who voted for Trump are the ones who perpetuate the low levels of pay in the so-called private sector. They cannot blame anyone who makes better pay than do they, they must simply blame themselves.

As for your little "diversionary rant," I'm nor sure that you are saying anything other than you simply didn't make the cut to go to Oxford for a year, and you ended up being bitter.

Trump is draining the swamp right into his cabinet to make the wealthiest bunch of swindlers and double-dealers that have ever made up a Presidential cabinet. Go, Donny, please go.


Spoken like a perfect person. Must be so nice to have never made a mistake, gone a little over the speed limit, "borrowed" something from the job and forgot to return it... You know what I'm talking about, don't you Bean? Next you'll be saying you never lie.


She died Don Richey. I'll be seeing you at a SEHS reunion if you'll come out of the bathroom and overcome your fear of others calling you out for what you are - a rat.


Families, communties churches, parents and friends? really? They are going to what investigate if abuse is happening? And have what legal authority to intervene?
 I am willing to bet in your world they ride magicla unicorns and stay in a fairy tale castle, can I come too? Somtimes the families ARE the problem, somtimes it is ther church, some parents are  train wrecks. YOU have no clue, what you are talking about none.


Yep, it all those unarmed, praying old men, women, and children at fault for trying peace to defend their land and waters.  All of it against an armored, armed military forces with helicopters, airplanes using the same tactics as the Iraq never-ending war against our own citizens.  Citizens daring to protects against the Billionaire Barons of the Oil Monopoly.  The Bundy bunch was white therefore they got away scot free because they threatened maximum violence and the cowards in government allowed it.  North Dakota fascist Sheriffs misused Emergency Management Compact powers to bring in more military personnel and equipment against the peaceful demonstrators just because they are the hated Sioux.  These fascists should all be in jail instead of the incarcerated victims.


"Free speech is the right of individuals and communities to express themselves without repression from the state,” according to the group. “The students are not the state nor the repressors. Taking to the stage and using this platform was an act of free speech — not a violation of it.” "

 What an ironic statement.  It implies that repression of free speech is perfectly fine so long as it's not the act of "the state."  Such a position give license to any group or individual to censor by force or by intimidation the Free Speech rights of others.  Of coure that' precisely what these students (and, it seems, some non-students) did....they, through physical force and intimidation censored the speech of U of O President Schill.

Might I suggest the U of O needs to provide a remedial course in both basic government and law and another in civil discourse for its students.  Clearly at least "about 40" of them have no understanding of these concepts.  That's a real shame (in all senses) GC


I will track down every fraud posting for the pipeline in BC that stalked my posts to delete them. YOU are SEVERELY wrong for even doing THAT.


HOLY COW BATMAN,  he is a FELON  linked to  a gun used to kill a cop,  he only had 20 grams  of METH on him, (isn't METH HORRIFIC whether  its one gram or whatever),  Jones was born in Las Vegas and had a extensive criminal record, has spent most of his life in prison, MOVED to Oregon to get a "FRESH START",  found a job and relapsed back into METH.  A Real Oregon GEM.

I would like to know who gave him a job at the coast.  I would not support that business.

These types of criminals are moving to Oregon in droves to get a "FRESH START", why is that????????

My opinion, Because of all the FREEBIES...................


An often overlooked culprit in all of this is the licensed medical provider who wrote the prescription which is required for OxyContin. Regardless if these providers where subject to "relentless visits" by Purdue representatives, it was their pen that wrote that script. There are multiple drug reference handbooks that are industry standard that described the full effects and side effects of all current pharmacy medications. For any medical provider with the license to write prescriptions to claim they were unaware is grounds for malpractice. It is standard procedure to reference the medication including unique patient history.
I have 25+yrs in rural Alaska as a Advanced EMT and 12 of those as a Lead Flight medic. We saw a huge increase of OxyContin referenced in patient records during this period for pain that likely could have been managed well with physical therapy and over the counter Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen within dose.
Go after Purdue, but many providers are equally guilty.


The problem is people come here and they think hey this needs to change yet it worked just fine for years. What moral high ground do you think you hold over people who were born and raised here and this is their way of life. Its not the default response. Its the we get sick of people coming from the lower 48 saying hey I don't like this. No one forced you to live here. There is a large reason that Anchorage/Palmer isn't growing at the pace of KGB/Big Lake. People are sick of some idiot on some council trying to rule their way of life. I am quite sure the majority of people of Bethel feel the same way.


This is just terrible this young man has lost his life because of some complication that arose from the eye surgery.  However, the man who had intended on murdering him, didn't murder him.  The vest protected him and he was alive and doing fairly well after this deadly encounter.  To now make the young criminal responsible for his death is not going to happen.  Even though we want to, legally you can't do that.


You are right there, LotL. It is something that I notice in your comments.
However, your words of general wisdom do not help us here.
I am looking for clarification as to what your previous comment means?
In particular, what do you mean when you write:- "We are given rights to effect duties from our nature or from our vocation"?
BTW, I am a professional translator, and so I do recognise the 'style', when I see it.
Thank you in anticipation.


" reasonable" is cutting the outrageous state spending, NOT stealing from the people.


I have a feeling that Los Angeles Unified is just a weeee bit larger than PPS. "Second largest in the nation, the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) enrolls more than 640,000 students in kindergarten through 12th grade..." PPS doesn't need to be smaller to be better run, but more qualified, more focused people running the place would be a great start.


Ahh yes, the CBC.....is Jian back on the air yet?


Dear Margaret,

Of all the problems I face in my life, the rants of a 19 year old are very very low down on the list.

Why don't you focus on things that are less provocative, and more important to us? Old age care (most of us will need it), housing inflation (shuts the young out of home ownership; it is a far more important issue for them) and so on.

This kind of fact free mudslinging from journalists is why a majority of Republicans believe that 5 million illegals voted in the US elections. It is squarely the fault of the media.


carbon emissions...too funny..

You know the number one way someone INCREASES their carbon emissions, is when they move to the First world from the Third world..something like 50x minimum..

On the other hand, everyone is welcome in Canada....


lol, we are not a democracy so how can democracy be destroyed?    Can't have it both ways.


We want Top Golf!!!!


This is yet another example of how we major on the minors in this beloved country of ours. Something that has never ceased to amaze me is that nobody has EVER said anything about the isi-Xhosa name for the Western Cape - iKoloni. A mix of Dutch/Afrikaans and Xhosa - who would have thought. As a Rhodian from the distant past I would hate the name to be changed.


Nothing alleged. The assailant pretty much announced it on Facebook prior to committing the act and was caught by a neighbour. How about the three people that were murdered?  A grandfather and his two grandsons. That's mass murder.


Too bad Obama wasn't still president. He could have negotiated a deal that would give NK billions of dollars AND better guidance systems for their bombs. That's the Obama way.


A few physicians make money. The DA's and the medial boards  need to take care of those crooks. They get away with it because of a lack of monitoring. People in need should not be victims of broad restrictions. Lock up the pill-pushers for five years and that will take care of the problem. However, the addicts will turn to street heroin. I think that was one of the points made in this letter.


Illiteracy becomes you, geek.

Die before 70 and your estate gets a Max $2500, that's all. Turns out it was just a Tax.


Minors don't enter into contracts. There endeth the lesson.


elizabeth - what a well written piece. you covered bases that aren't often figured into that equation. unfortunately the "homeless" we become aware of are usually the problem people. and that's why we , in general, equate  homeless to be problematic. and the mentally ill get pushed through and aside all the time. if it can't be seen - it doesn't exist.
 i befriended a woman at  the park i take my dogs to - we have a great time visiting. it was a couple months before she told me she was living in her truck.. how her, several other women and a few sympathetic guys park together for safety to sleep at night. where she goes to clean up.. resourceful woman for sure. i admire her, have offered help that she refused. the only help she'll accept is  sharing a lunch i bring to the park. i can't even speak of her as homeless - she bristles.
 this is not an easy thing. i do think st vinnies should be at any meeting regarding affordable housing and involved in it's inception. they have it down.


So you are going to stop your name calling as an example.


I can't afford a new car either so....


In other words, there are a lot of really dumb Americans!


Gee a baby drumpf.


What a crock. This old bat is as crooked as Hillary and even uglier. She should shut her pie hole.


what complete rubbish, here in canada woman have all the same equal rights if not MORE rights than men period


Trump under investigation, Justin under multiple investigations....both running and hiding and ducking accountability...the similarities between these 2 incompetents grows everyday.


"GTA and Vancouver RE markets isn't in purchases made by PR, visa holders, numbered companies, international students and Canadian citizens with contacts outside of the country?"
How could we stop them buying RE? Isn't it illegal to do so. Don't they have the right to buy property? You are mentioning Canadian citizens with contacts outside of the country. How in the world you could prevent a citizen from purchasing a property whether that person has outside contact or not? The fact is any demand accruing legally is the demand for that commodity. If the supply does not meet that demand, prices will keep on rising. The question is how could government the bring back affordability?  15% tax wouldn't do much.


Medicaid is for the poor, many of whom work full time. It also covers the disabled, and sixty percent of nursing home residents. To qualify for long-term care you must burn through almost all your assets.

Medicare is for people 65 and older. Don't kid yourself that the 1.45% Medicare tax (matched by the employer) covers the cost of the program. It only covers Part A, hospitalization. Part B covers doctor visits, lab tests, surgeries and medical devices is paid for by premiums. Most seniors pay $109/month depending on income. But this only pays 25% of the cost, 73% is paid from general revenue.

Both programs are important components of our social safety net.


cannabis + alcohol = more impairment.
>
 Not the cannabis but the alcohol is the problem. Someone can legally have 1 beer an hour and still drive. This needs to change, needs to be zero tolerance on drinking and driving. It is a bad habit because it temps someone to have a few drinks and still drive.
>
 Considering there is no real test for cannabis, they will drive a little and smoke a little and become much more dangerous on the road. Not that cannabis is dangerous in it self. Someone could smoke all night and drive perfectly fine, especially if they are  regular smoker.


Glad that's not our negotiating strategy.


Chris, are you sure you can't find a Harper connection here? Are you not trying hard enough?

I wouldn't trust the polls after Brexit and Trump. Marine Le Pen will win.


I don't understand how Russia can still support Syria's government if they are the one's who used chemical weapons which killed 80 people and it sure looks pretty convincing the are responsible.  I can't stand Trump and hope he is gone asap but I have to agree with the US's quick response.  Syria has truly crossed the line and needs to know it won't be tolerated. But, the US should stay out of it after that.


While they are looking at this flawed system of housing sales, perhaps taking a look at the way real estate agents are paid for a transaction would be useful.  How is the current percentage of sale a reasonable way to recompense an agent?  This further pushes the price of housing as agents set up bidding wars to increase the price of homes and line their pockets!  It's true that the seller benefits to some degree, but the commissions that agents make on sales are obscene!


Unconstitutional? How about criminal?


Can you obtain a signed pledge from Murkowski that's all she's after, Gegonos?  I await breathlessly.


Personally I will not listen to Pro-Abortionist UNLESS they work to change laws that would allow mothers to euthanize children who are born to the poor, inconvenienced and unloving homes.
These are the reasons most (vast majority) give for being Pro-Abortion.  Whether the child is 8 months or 12 months, what's the big difference.
What's good for the goose...............


Criminal laws do not go against human nature, they simply follow natural law, entities that/who violate the societal acceptable standards are punished. The only real societal changes take place at the kitchen table, and the more the government tries to force the issue the worse it gets.
So what you are suggesting with all of these news laws is the blacks can't be trusted to make it on their own without the assistance of central government? This is my question because I know many successful elderly black individuals, being elderly myself, it is the age group I associate with.


Are the prior comments on this article gone? Why can't I access then?

It doesn't surprise that a Democrat wouldn't understand the math.  You see, if 86 the counties with 83% of the voters have a 53-47% red advantage, but the 2 counties with 17% of the voters vote a 75-25% advantage for Democrats, that 50% of 17%  (8.5%)is more than the slightly more than 3% of 87% (2.67%) needed to swing the state blue.

Bottom line: Denver and Boulder are out of touch with most of the state.  Like everywhere else in the nation, it's an urban vs suburban and rural thing.  C Springs is an exception because it's so heavily influenced by the military, which leans heavily Republican.


I'd go one step further. Maybe it's time for small businesses, farmers and professionals to go on strike.


The institutional Church is still in denial, almost to the point of maintaining a code of silence, about the origins of the problem in different ways in major and minor seminaries.  Minor seminaries are gone and with them part of the problem, but there will always be a need for major seminaries.  Zero tolerance after the fact is not a solution if in some places the Church will ordain pederast priests and put vulnerable young men in environments where they may be steered toward pederasty.

And the topic of pederast clerics looking out for one another and doing what they can to get their fellows promoted or in good assignments is still barely acknowledged.


"This is a way for the city council to fight the insanity of Donald Trump's administration." That fight is far beyond the mandate of any city council.

Republicans are stunned that anyone with a pulse could actually believe that the Women's march was anything other than a progressive hate event cloaked in the garb of Women's Rights. Knowing that the event had over 400 sponsors, of which 56 were George Soros related groups speaks for itself.  Seriously, knowing that the movement was to give the speaker's platform to Donna Hylton the murderer of a gay man, and to Angela Davis the Back Panther, and Linda Sarsour, the rampant anti-Semite, sent shivers down my spine. The icing on the cake was the collective wisdom of Madonna and Ashley Judd. If Fukumoto and Thielen honestly believed that they were engaged in something noble, then they are either naive, stupid, or bought and paid for. In any case, it is irresponsible, and a betrayal of traditional values to walk in step with a counter culture event which embraced hate, anti-semitism and violence. In my opinion, it would be best for the Hawaii Republican Party if they both left.


Pretty funny. If these millennials calculated what it will actually cost them over the course of their lives, mortgage payments and all, for the privilege of staying in the Lower Rainland, I think they'd move somewhere more affordable. But I bet that very few of them actually figure this stuff out - too hard, and they'd have to give up their beloved urban lifestyles. They'd rather be broke.

 No matter, I make lots of money/ dividends off my Canadian bank shares. Keep those mortgage payments coming!


His sister loves him and supports him, but no one in their family could be bothered to get him the mental help he clearly needed?  Thanks for unleashing him on the rest of us.  Are we getting the stomach to re-instate mental hospitals yet, or are we enjoying what the mentally ill have been visiting on us lately?


Your argument is worn, if you look, more people disagree with you, than agree, especially in Colorado. I personally do not agree with giving ME(who has good employer insurance) more tax breaks, at the expense of those much less fortunate ones who really need more medical care than I do. What choice and freedom does that leave the ones with pre-existing conditions?


Very well said.  I have never seen Ms. Khan express most of the ideas her detractors ascribe to her.  Interestingly, The Guardian hired an outside firm to analyze their readers' comments.  The data indicated that when it came to news and opinion articles, negative comments were disproportionately high for articles written by women, people with brown skin and "non-traditional" names.  Sheema Khan hits all three of those categories!  Often, rather than respond to her content, people pop off with remarks about the evils of Fundamentalist Islam, the terror of Sharia Law, the horrors of multiculturalism, and how "those people" just don't integrate (I recall the same being said of Italians in the 60s.)  I find her columns often insightful and have never once seen her attack Canada; many of the posters are simply tilting at a brown, female, Muslim windmill.

Cue the frowny faces!  :)


When two professors from the department of criminology at Ryerson University publish views consistent with the idea that it is better to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission, it's time to freeze Ryerson's funding and consider firing everyone you employ who graduated from RyHigh.


True. But the idea is good--just send them to a sanctuary in SE Asia, such as the Elephant Nature Park in Thailand. Better yet and closer, send them to TES in TN or PAWS in CA.

Best to let a judge decide what is necessary and fair in this case. We don't want to negatively impact operations of the only Blood bank in the state.
Taxpayers may end up paying to relocate the blood bank but that may be a fair and appropriate way to handle this claim. They aren't just any business or landowner, the entire state depends on them and that should be reflected in how Hart deals with them.


Well, the Trump administration has sure been more accessible to Alaska's governor.  It took Obama 7 years to make it to AK.  Walker paid consultants $50,000 to be coached on how to talk to the great Obama when he came to AK on vacation.  But Obama spent more time talking to British wing nut Bear Grillis than to Walker.  Then after leaving Obama did whatever he could to block Alaskan resource extraction.  Glad Obummer is gone.


OSU has all the PERS and health insurance problems that UO has, yet the state's best school kept tuition increases low.


The last 8 years incomes have been stagnant, or worse for Blacks, while the rich have done extremely well. Wall street supported Obama big time. The economy grew at the worst rate of any modern President. And you believe Trump is going to make things worse!! History will judge the growth rates, etc. of both administrations. Time will tell.


An affair. Sadly there were traumatized children in this incident.


"There’s a long history of British Prime Ministers working closely with U.S. Presidents. President Ronald Reagan and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher fought the Cold War together, while President George W. Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair led the coalition against Iraq. And while those relationships proved controversial at times, they lasted for years."

I'd say these are rather spurious comparisons.  People might have disliked previous presidents but 45 is a completely different kind of beast.  Of late his own pick for the supreme court has come said his attack on the judiciary arm of the government is 'demoralising' and 'disheartening'; that's putting it mildly.  He has now railing against nordstroms from both his personal and the presidential twitter accounts.   And, who doesn't understand that he is very much involved with the running of his business?  And the arrogance and disdain that oozed from one of his brietbart transplants to the white house on cbc this morning was scary.

Wow! Extreme ignorance or willful disregard for Jesus' hard spent time on this earth! Jesus most definitely condemned homosexuality. His condemnation was clear to every sinner whom he confronted when he told them that if they chose to repent , they were forgiven...with the stipulation that they go and sin no more. Jesus knows people are not perfect, but that lack of perfection does not in the least justify anyone living a lifestyle of sin. His motto was if you are truly sorry, you have my forgiveness, but I expect you to knock it off. He didn't die on the cross for us to keep sinning! He died on the cross to help those of us who mess up get forgiveness and have a second chance to do right. If your preacher tells you Jesus didn't expect us to shape up, then you are being seriously deceived. And...God is smiling upon any man who is trying to get people to understand and hear this truth.


Sadly, you keep on insisting that the "Church" is the hierarchy/clergy.  They are only less than 4% of the Catholic population.  The Church is made up of all Catholics.  No teaching of the Church can exist WITHOUT the assent of the informed and conscientious faithful to that teaching.  Humanae vite DID NOT have that assent from the informed and conscientious faithful.


Go to see Miller. Walk out on Barr!!!!!

No...I think it touched $58.50 for about 5 minutes...(Thursday)
Maybe I was having lunch :)
Still sitting on $50K of it ...but my new target is $60 after reflecting on my own comments here about the January MF  exodus:
Retired folk with $ who want a MF alternate............step right up BCE !!


Sure its a business decision but  did they take the players wishes into their consideration?

If they can't take a very small hit every 4 years for the pride of their players and countries then they look pretty selfish indeed. But then the NHL isn't known for making sound decisions. Just look at some of the cities they play in and some they don't. Look at the fiasco in Arizona.

Everywhere you go the NHL teams are trying to bribe civic, provincial, or state  governments for money which cost us taxpayers. So how about they pay the taxpayers back every 4 years. Greedy owners and nothing more.

Exactly what is the relevance of an opinion paper written by two Israeli antifluoridationists who sought to espouse their personal opinions against fluoridation under the guise of an “objective” report on media coverage?  This is typical of the “science” antifluoridationists purport to support their position.

The sitting Prime Minister should be the first platform for a few add-on modules of artificial intelligence.


Dante,

You are 100% incorrect on this. He cut the HST by 2% and federal budgets were balanced for two years after that. Then came the Great Recession.  So there was literally zero need to keep pulling money out of people's pickets

Or are you saying Harper should have predicted that, two years before?

Interesting how "pussy" and "Trump" used together are now part of the American lexicon.


Gee, what could possibly go wrong with that plan?


you cant hide what does not exist,.. man the left is so pathetic, cant prove it so revert back to calling for trump to disprove it, ,sad and stupid at the same time the left is..


Cynic11 - the insurance company would most likely never have been privy to their divorce agreement. It would have been up to the ex-wife to hold up her part of the bargain: verbal or on paper. She didn't for whatever reason, and the ex-husband is well within his rights to go after the proceeds. Very few people consult a lawyer before changing beneficiaries, as it is not a requirement by the issuance company issuing the policy.


no but he wont throw interceptions on every other play.


There's just something about people tampering with mail that pisses me off...important documents, bills, letters or things that I save up for a long time to order and poof..i know you can elect to hold your UPS packages at the hub...but can you do the same with USPS? I'de ask my mailman but he shows up between 9am-10pm, pretty sure he doesn't know what a clock is.


It will never happen.
Liberals won't allow it and the dems will block it.
California is a solid liberal victory in every election.
If the split it up, that means they have to worry about losing part of their strangle hold on the electoral votes.
that ain't happening.


Oh no, Mr Bill   --  there might be something you don't know!

Pet hijacking has been a growing problem for quite some time now.  As is identity hijacking.  Your playing around with making the citizens of Clallam County more vulnerable to both is really not amusing  --  or safe.

We entrust data to government which we would not wish to see published at large on the Internet for any old crazy to use for their own crazy (or venal) purposes.  Just ask Donald Trump about his tax returns  -  which are also public documents and data.

Maybe you could do us all a favor and focus on getting that particular set of useful data into public view, instead of picking on Clallam County pet owners.


The long standing Catholic moral principle of double effect does not presuppose they are. Another way of putting what Ken Briggs is trying to say is that the End does not justify the Means or it is immoral to select an Evil Means to achieve a Good End.

It is sound, traditional Catholic ethics to argue that it would be immoral to choose the means of electing Trump to achieve the Good End of ending abortion, if it is known and predictable in advance that President Trump is likely to, among other evil things, overturn Obamacare which will in turn cause thousands to die before their God-intended time because Trump has taken away their medical coverage.

Not really all that complicated, although very badly stated in this article. Complicated only iifone holds that the life of the unborn is more valuable the the born but sick the Trump's policies are going to cause. Is that what you mean when you say the lives taken are not equal?


To understand Trump is also to understand his appeal as an aspirational brand to the worst people in the United States.
What his intransigent admirers like most about him—the thing they aspire to, in their online cosplay sessions and their desperately thirsty performances for a media they loathe and to which they are so helplessly addicted—is his freedom to be unconcerned with anything but himself.

if cannabis continues to be a schedule 1 drug, then it should also be joined by alcohol, tobacco, and e-cigs.
Otherwise, take it of the schedule 1 list.
Just my opinion.
What do you think?


Maybe they should announce a review by a CPA who has recommended financial controls to prevent a occurrence of the same problem.


I've been to the Purex plant. They made the plutonium for the second atomic bomb, not the first. That's why the local high school is "The Bombers." Mushroom cloud decal for your back window! The perimeter fence at the 200 East area has a great sign. It's black and yellow and at the top says "No Trespassing." Below that is the silhouette of an M16 rifle. And below that in smaller print it says "Lethal Force Authorized."


No matter what the agencies involved say, we (the taxpayers) will end up paying the billions for this fiasco.


That's because houses are not selling (sales down 40% year over year), prices are not high (prices down 20% since April) and inventory is high (sales to listing ratio is around 40%).  The problem is you have not look at the latest data and you're still pretending it's March 2017.


This comes from a UAA Justice Center report.

And in Alaska, history shows a parallel state of mind the same as that of the slave days. Each of the eight men executed (in the territory of Alaska) under civil authority between 1900 and 1957 were convicted of murder. Of these, only two of the eight men hanged during this period were white. Three of the executed men were Native, two were African American, and one was a foreigner, an immigrant, of unknown race from Montenegro (a small European nation on the Balkan Peninsula) (Lerman 1996).

In contrast, most murders committed in territorial Alaska were committed by white men.


So what, she has no choice in the matter, what a man wants a man NEEDS!


I bet the people at Transnet were really chuffed to get that awful German software, too! Whoever called it a Shitty Arsed Product just about got it right. At so many levels I hope SAP and their crooked employees get slammed for this. And the Utter Palookas from Uttar Pradesh have to pay back the money before getting thrown in jail, or dealt with in Dubai.


The Globe is anything but a National newspaper. It is and always will be a Toronto paper reflecting Toronto views.


When does he watch 'Land and Sea' ?
Or is it just for people in the Maritimes - Sunday at noon.
So much for Canadians speaking to Canadians; more like Toronto speaking to other Canadians.
The CBC is a disgrace and obsessed with politics (mostly in Ottawa).


This is not one of those cases.


The Oscars and all the other Hollywood self-congratulatory events have a long history of witnessing political acts.  We only need to think back to Marlon Brando sending an aboriginal woman to collect his Oscar to protest treatment of First Nations in the USA.  Streep's speech is nothing new and nothing to get excited about.


I agree with this comment, even though I flatly disagree with what you said and was held to be uncivil -- which it wasn't.


.. or a  mosqueteria in a school.


Sure, sure. If your "facts" don't fit the current conspiracy theory, then just create a bigger conspiracy. Got it.


"So, either you are for religious activities at school or you are a Islamophobe?"

Yup, seems so.


David Cook Martin did not present a single argument on why he claims the Wall with Mexico Won't Work.
*
His only argument is the conclusion "No wall can change these facts."  Except those facts have nothing to do with How or Why the Wall with Mexico won't work
*
Trump boost border patrol numbers which with the Wall may put a halt to the flow of illigals to the US across the US-Mexico border.
*
Martin failed to mention that Trump intends to complete the biometric entry-exit visa tracking system to catch overstaying visa holders to rebut his minimizing the importance of the wall with this claim - as many as half of unauthorized immigrants in the U.S. are people who overstay their visas, not border crossers - which is irrelevant to how or why the Wall won't work.

RRSP contribution limits are based on 18% of earned income in a year to a maximum of $26K today.  If as a small business owner you are drawing little or no salary while you grow your business, your RRSP contribution room is minimal or NIL for those years.  If and when your business is successful and you are receiving a good salary, you only have access to the current years'  contribution room.

Also if your business has a hiccup and you need to put more money into it, taking that money out of an RRSP is expensive from a tax perspective and you do not get to put it back in ever again.

You may or may not have known that, but that is why it "isn't enough".


The Kurds deserve recognition as a self sustaining political entity. It is an honour that Canada had a hand in assisting the Kurds where most required.  The Kurds liberated themselves from terrorism devoted to depravity.  This is where Canada should send support to keep the peace.  These are a people Canadians should rub shoulders with.


It strikes me that Mexico will continue to provide the immigrants needed for the US labour market. They will, however, enter the US legally. Trump is not going to prohibit legitimate immigrants but he is going to control the numbers relative to the needs of the US labour market.


Ding dong, YOU are wrong. Would you like a little cheese to go with your "whine". Grow a pair.


Says the guy who can't spell dummy.


M: "Your party has a logical and factual disconnect in your "Hate Trump; He's a Putin Guy" narrative."

Well, Motley, you might have a factual disconnect if you think that opposition (not hate, opposition) to Trump is based largely on his relationship to Putin.

Personally I am much more troubled by Trump's other relationships. (His relationship to reality comes to mind).


Why so hush-hush CBC ? Got something to hide ?


You see, I held a press conference.  I hooted and I hollered and I made a big stink about the important work left to be done.

I told them Congress had too much to do for us to go back home–but you know the truth.  You know I just can’t stand to be away from you.

Betraying my essence of “more jobs, less government”–I decided we needed more government.  In fact, I decided the only thing that can solve the masses problems is more government.  And while we are at it, threatening the jobs of caretakers, nurses, and hospital employees.

I’d do anything for you.

Anything to keep me from having to face Alaskans.

I’ll work through Alaska’s beautiful summer month of August.

Deny myself many a night fishing.  Deny myself the joy of hiking.  Deny myself nights laying under the stars.  For I fear that I would look up and all I’d see would be the dollar signs you promised me dancing in the night sky.

Continued:


As a rule of thumb, all newly separated people are broken.  Divorce is emotionally traumatic and the changes are overwhelming.  Relationships fail for a reason, and your first mistake was dating a man who probably had a good hand in killing his marriage based on his immature response to ending your relationship.  If your Mr. Wonderful was really that wonderful, he would still be married.

I worked in family law.  Men are much more likely to move on by finding another relationship than women are, and sometimes we had to legally divorce our clients before their financial or custody issues were resolved so they could remarry.  The fact that he jumped into a relationship isn't surprising.  You filled a need at the time.  You weren't Miss Right. You were Miss Right Now.  It is rare to find back-to-back soul mates.  It is common to want sex and companionship.

Don't waste your energy looking for an answer from this guy.  Dwelling on the past changes nothing.


At that point, Jesus was dead.

Gospel of Matthew says he gave the money to the priests and they bought land, while he hung himself.  The disciples were scattered and in hiding.

Acts says he bought land and his body burst open on it.

Another early Christian writer reported he was crushed to death under chariot wheels.

I don't think the authors really knew Judas's fate.  I doubt the apostles went up to the priests and asked who really bought that land and what happened to the blood money they'd paid.  There were obviously several rumors going around.  But he made a good object lesson.


This government is opening its eyes to the reality that significant pot use will continue with or without legalization. And they will be rewarded with tax dollars.


Some good points.  But you can point out crime with guns in any big city and the response by those who want stricter gun laws will be the same.  They will divert the discussion any way they can because "guns are the problem."  Chicago is the point of discussion because it has so much black on black crime that liberals don't want to talk about.  And so much murder almost daily.  BTW, if you want to offer a web site other than wiki, I will be glad to take a look.


The US is really good at creating Bogeymen to justify a lot of the spending.


No, you've got that mixed-up.  We don't assess 'reasonable limits' when determining what constitutes a sincere religious belief.  Religion isn't based on reason. Reasonable limits enter into it when considering the application of religious beliefs.

And it doesn't matter if the majority of muslims don't agree; both religion and sincerity are personal things.  As the SCC wrote, it's "irrespective of whether a particular practice or belief is required by official religious dogma or is in conformity with the position of religious officials."

Cross-examination is only required if there are grounds to believe someone's faking it - as was the case with the only legal dedision about "pastafarians" I've been able to find.  The decision said their claims were a mockery and did not qualify as religious beliefs.


More SOCIALIST FAKE NEWS from the Soros ADN! I read Breitbart and I know that my president is never, can never and will never be wrong! Trump says there is nothing to this Russia thing, nothing to see here, time to move on! This is all made up by libs to compensate for the fact that they lost the election (losey losers who lost). Trump must fire the special prosecutor, declare himself emperor for life, outlaw the democratic party and implement tax cuts by fiat before it's too late! Special prosecutor why isn't he focused on the real story which is Hillary Clinton and all her misdeeds. 30 years of feverish talk radio inspired anticipation and she still isn't in jail! What's up with that you guys!
If Trump isn't shown the deference and respect he deserves, he may just take his incredible dealmaking abilities and business acumen back to the private sector. Where would America be then? Won't someone think of the 1% and the massive tax cuts they need to make America great again??


The language has to basically be an immediate incitement to violence. That's a high hurdle. As odious and repugnant as these nazis are, along with Trump and their other enablers, the courts have said their right to assembly stands. But, they have a right to speak, not a right to be heard or respected.


Quite possibly they are all at work.


The range might be a little too wide.  Have there ever been this many candidates, I mean, outside of a country like Italy?  And their campaigns are a mess.  Bernier can't do simple arithmetic, Leitch is about as trustworthy as a late night infomercial shill, and O'Leary excels only as the man we all love to hate.  Chong has some brains and principles, but supporting a carbon tax in a right wing party will kill him deader than a mosquito in January.  Raitt might have some cred but I'd bet most of next week's pay that she won't go the distance.

Leitch's video is a riot.

Anyone with a lick of sense wouldn't have let that thing our of the can, like, ever.  Incredibly enough, she is touting the number of hits as an indication of support.  Kellie, people can't stop looking at car wrecks, either......but that doesn't mean they like them.


Per capita, there are more American Native vets, than from any other group.  I'm a vet, with service related disabilities that prevent me from ever getting a high paying job.  I had to start my own company, just to be able to hope to eventually make a living.  So cry me a river.


The Lying, Deceiving, Hateful Liberals Democrats including the Media are at it again. No kumbaya after the Liberal Democrat tried to assassinate dozens of Rep. Congressman practicing for a ballgame.


I think it's highly suspicious that the Clinton-loving media is so quick to spend large chunks of time covering unsubstantiated accusations against Trump 20 days before the election.  For those who want to expand their knowledge, I recommend Sean Hannity on Fox News Channel at 10 pm daily.  He has the courage to cover the PROJECT VERITAS VIDEOS, WIKILEAKS, etc.  Sirius radio channel 125 the Patriot (Mark Levin, Andrew Willow, Hannity) is highly informative, too.


@ sirencall

Interesting that you single out US/UK.

The origins of Haiti's problem are clearly France.      In 1804 the Haitians basically slaughtered all of the French masters and left the country completely without leadership or organization.  France did not set up any system of governance like the British , Dutch or Spanish.

France has never paid Haiti back the 21 Billion (40B in todays money) that France illegally took (90 million gold francs) to let Haiti declare independence.   Haiti has never recovered from the weight of this debt.

How lucky we in Canada are that we fell under British colonization after the British victory on the plains of Abraham in 1759.

There are no successful French nations that are now prosperous countries and many disasters.   Haiti, Vietnam, Cambodia, most of Africa.

Even in our own country... Quebec  is using French civil law governance rather than British parliamentary system and is forever a have-not province.


Ya know? In many countries around the world? They don't have the luxury of space. And they manage to get along just fine. In fact? It often brings families CLOSER. Perhaps our curmudgeonly ways are getting us in a little trouble in the West?


kuroiwaj, I'm glad you said "Hawaii born."  Not everyone is so reasonable!


After watching Assad kill so many hundreds of thousands and exile more hundreds of thousands of his own people, he is my choice as murderer-in-chief.

He was either incompetent or a liar when he and Putin said that they turned over all his chemical warfare stocks for destruction to Obama.

Obama and Kerry were either incompetent or disingenuous.

Obama,  the wordsmith, said that all "declared" stocks had been destroyed.

The weasel word "declared" is what makes him disingenuous.

Kerry actually said "all stocks" sometimes and "all declared stocks" at other times.


99bandit,

Some of the prices are steep but these are not the least expensive hybrids available. Even the Sonata mentioned in the article is a fairly dolled up car. The more than adequate base model Sonata hybrid comes in at $29,649. If you live in Ontario the province will toss in $8,460 towards your purchase. In city driving in particular your hybrid will save a lot of gas and your brakes will last a lot longer. I think the rebates should be part of a national program and that they should not apply to luxury cars like the Tesla Model X or the BMW i8.


No, I don't, but if my wife say "no", I stop.


If the Bobblehead said it, it's a lie plain and simple or, at the most charitable best, a disingenuous, self-serving diversion.  Count your fingers; check for your watch and wallet.


Motley, don't you understand that sports builds character? Why would the AG's office ever think anything illegitimate was being done? Such things never happen in the sports world...nor in religious institutions, either.


Paulette frivolous request was taken seriously by lawyer jurists who know nothing about construction.

Greenhouse gases hold heat in the atmosphere.  CO2 holds a small fraction of the amount that H2O in its gaseous form holds.  The devil is in how they define how much that small fraction is in terms of heat retention.  That a gas (CO2) that's less than 1% by volume vs H2O could be a bigger influence on warming is absurd.

I repeat, CO2 was chosen to demonize because it allowed spending on the AGW agenda under the Clean Air and Water Act by classifying a clean, harmless gas, CO2, as a "pollutant," when no life on Earth can exist without it.

Billions of dollars in grant money has been doled out for research papers supporting the agenda; nothing for research that doesn't.  Many of those papers are prefaced with statements that basically say, "This is what you're paying me to rationalize, but it's not necessarily what I believe to be true.  You won't pay me for that."

OMG these losers never stop.........who is going to 'come forward' next?   Russia had ZERO to do with Hilary's loss, and who cares anymore?.... sore losers that is all this is.


Trump and his supporters-- like yourself--were happy to hang Clinton high on "allegations"-- and allegations with little substance. Chants of "lock her up" come to mind.


No time. Too busy working to pay increased taxes required to fund his highness's spending of the public purse on useless events.


Albertan with a PhD in resource economics here:
we are paying for the climate-change denial of previous governments and senoior advisers/strategists.

Anyone with an education level higher than grade 6 understood the science behind global warming and should have seen the writing on the wall during the turn of the millenium (=unsustainable oil industry, we should have divested and moved investments to renewable energy like solar, geothermal, biomass).

We (=generation X and older) made poor political choices and now we have to start the painful transition towards a more sustainable economy, a transition that needs CO2 taxes and economic incentives towards more resource-efficient technology.


Ah, football season.


Well said Lori


What's amazing is the inversion of logic.  Some are shocked and in tears to find that Trump has temporarily closed the border to people who have a history of terror, much like Obama did in 2006.  People who don't understand this as safety measure see Doomsday in this, and they cry and protest  and gnash teeth, but they overlook the REAL threat posed by Iran launching an ICBM, in contravention of the "treaty" Obama just signed with them, and they cheer as Hillary discusses putting up a no-fly zone against Russian jets --- as if those jets won't fly right through them, risking a direct air war between our jets and theirs.  And who knows what comes after THAT.  So eager is the left to cry that the sky is falling that they miss the real Doomsday events happening right under their own noses.  That's amazing.


So why are you promoting celibacy in the priesthood?


All these white supremacists would be in for a great surprise if they all took a DNA test and find out that a lot of them have African blood. Even this Fuentes guy. Bet he has Latino roots. What a bunch of idiots with shallow warped minds.


Why don't you investigate and report back to us.


They squeaked out another one that they should have won in a walk-away.

Pathetic.


"Why not?"

Because your average 1% doesn't earn enough over a lifetime to bequeath a $10 Million inheritance.

Not sure even the average 0. 1 % would earn enough, especially once you strip out the Hockey or Baseball Players.


If you can't make your point without ad hominem insults, there's something wrong with your point.

And why would anyone want some dentist's "opinion" about the vitamin C content of onions, limes, and oranges? That's a simple question of fact.


Nothing Carl said bespoke White Supremacism.

Yes, when you antifa types say "Punch a Nazi", we've figured out that you mean to punch us, whether we're Nazis or not. GFY.


"Unfortunately, B.C. recently undermined the measure:"...this is a sign of a poorly researched article, written too quickly.  B.C. "undermined" the measure because it was too heavy-handed in the first place: in addition to targeting non-resident buyers, it also caught permanent residents with work permits and local jobs contributing to the local economy paying Canadian taxes.  The intent of the 15% tax was to target non-residents who earned their money elsewhere and parked it in Vancouver (and some surrounding areas) real estate, which contributed to pricing locals out.  But legal permanent residents also ended up being penalized, even though they are employed in the local economy and contribute their fair share like any other Canadian.  Thus, exempting them from the 15% tax is just common sense, that was missing when the legislation was rushed through last summer.  I believe that the legislation was rushed and blunt, but at least it was a step in the right direction.


Nice attempt at distraction.

An up-to-date photo of erupting Pavlof would make for a more interesting story about an erupting volcano spewing ash up to 20,000 feet into the air . No?


If your friend has 1.5 million to spend, it sounds like it's enough to buy a nice starter home.  You could still buy a very large home in Milton or Hamilton for that price.  They are obviously insisting on the most unaffordable areas of the city, which means centrally located, close to the subway.  Then the author goes on to state that more urban sprawl is the answer to relieve pricing pressure on the core.  But our friends with 1.5 million wouldn't want to live there anyhow. Anyone else catch the logical flaw here?


It's official!!! ADN = CNN . . . Congrats!!!


Thank you Lisa for having the backbone to do what was right. Now lets address the problem of high rates for older Alaskans in the private market (obamacare) with above subsidy income. Rates which would have gone much higher under the Republican plan for an even larger group of older Alaskans.


“We’re going to talk about how to create jobs, how to create wealth in America. We want to support that agenda,” former Boeing Co chief executive ..."

Funny, I thought that was the President's agenda.  Just goes to prove what the Trump team's known all along.  These guys just don't know what's good for them.


What a ridiculous thing to say and do.


If it's the same Stephen Conn that lived up here for many, many years, he knows Alaska and it's issues far better than the average person.   If he now lives of of state it's a recent move.


Hey Sarah!  You are supposed to be taking votes away from Wheeler, not Bailey.  Didn't you get the memo?


Only your inquisitive spirit is "broke".


the liberal party is made up of old has beens whose best before date expired years ago, goodale, easter, mccallum dion, bennett, brison.  Let us not forget the drama queen Trudeau. A very sad bunch to be in charge of this country.
