Essentially, MP Chan asked his colleagues to "raise the bar."
With a comment such as, "former drama teacher Trudeau who inherited his arrogance, stubbornness and disdain for parliament from PET and has neither the intellect nor inclination to answer questions with anything but a handful of prescripted generic non-answers ..."

I'd say you were some distance from the bar yourself, Teddy.


What makes you think they have an interest in contacting other life forms...if they in fact exist. Not every race may be as curious (or nosy) depending on your point of view as we are. I assume you left your grammar skills and IQ in the pub.


It's wrong for priests to demand people NOT kneel. Some folks have been shamed or denied Communion for wanting to receive kneeling.


Stop using multiple accounts to lie.


Hmmmm. You sure about that?


"The Speech that Jeff Sessions Should Give”

“. . . I am informing Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller that his charter has been cancelled, and his job is at an end. I regret that he and the large team he has assembled were set on this wild goose chase, but there is no goose, and the taxpayers will be spared any further expense at chasing it.”

Well, if it says so in the newspapers, it must be true! (sarcasm intended)
The comparisons alluded to in the article cited have nothing to do with the substance of this matter. To wit, calling someone uncle Adolf just because you don't agree with policies that have nothing to do with liberty and freedom is just villifying by association.

The substance of this matter is the gradual and subtle transformation of this country into a police state. Uncle Adolf didn't have the monopoly of police states. "Papieren Bitte" could also be applied to East Germany, which was not a National Socialist state. The point being is that in Canada, you are not supposed to go to jail for the mere refusal to show your ID if you are not suspected of committing a crime.  It now appears that, in this country, you will go to jail for the refusal to submit to a breathaliser, even if there is no reasonable cause for police to request it.


In the 1990,s most if not all public employees unions did indeed accept per,s promises instead of pay raises.
We knew what was going to be the numbers down the years. Don't make the mistake of blaming the unions for putting the PERS noose around all Oregon taxpayers necks. All unions had to do was collect all the the offers vote it into a contract.
Despite warnings to Oregon,s mostly liberal elected leaders and their pet judges this bunch treated pers as a pot of gold that was going to solve all budget worries. Your union bashing is misplaced unions didn't do pers to you, Pers put a smile on county contract negotiators faces and a spring in their steps when we told them it's approved.
Some of those smiles disgust me still.
Unfortunately the unions and politicians each side with their pet judges in tow just a few years later are wearing those same smiles usually in a private I love me moment .
Even if someone has a solution there is absolutely no so called leadership in Oregon poloti


ADN again follows the Huffington Post, the most stop Trump site on the Internet.  I follow Drudge and Breitbart.  WND isn't too bad, either.


So Richard on what you believe then is when some one is shot it is the guns fault not the person that pulled the trigger?Because this murder was because of pot and pot caused his death not the person who shot him.


Their new landlord would be paying the real estate tax and it would flow through to them via their rental cost. Limit the exemptions.


About 60% of business owners voted for Trump, and that's from the people who's polls said Hillary would win. Guess there are a lot of uneducated business owners.


Things are looking up. One small step.


Lets wait a year, then come back and review.


Hypocrite and fraud work too.


And remember, if the oil companies hadn't pumped it out of the ground and made their profits, then there never would have been a PFD and you would still be paying State income taxes.  Is that what you're supporting?


And so the Mariners rolled the rock up the hill, getting close to the top, only to have it roll back down upon them.  Time and time again.


Nice try...


Roy Moore, Strong candidate for most disgusting human being currently alive, has a human son, go figure.  Well, Much like most white conservative Americans I know, Roy has done a real terrible job of raising a responsible human being.   Roy’s son was recently arrested again this time for trespassing on other people property and hunting wild game over bait, truly the laziest least skilled hunting method.

It was the ninth time he was booked into jail.


Can the media please report the reduction correctly.  The elimination of the 8% portion of the HST is not a savings to small businesses that currently claim an ITC on HST.  So the reduction for most of us is only 17%.

And after doubling our hyrdo rates over the last number of years, a 17% reduction will do what for us?
Oh ya, this reduction is being funded by more provincial debt......


As an agnostic, I don't involve myself in prolonged (or even brief) debates over God's (or god's, or gods') sovereignty.  I don't have the foggiest notion of the metric by which to measure yours, mine or anyone's qualification to engage in such a debate either.

As I look around at the world, however, I can't help but feel that if there's a god or gods "in charge" of things, he, she, it or they must have a really warped sense of humor.


Actually a little.  Look, I get the fact that we live in a society where people are becoming more and more self-centered, selfish, unconscious to others, etc..

But I have to admit that I just can't get my mind around the level of narcissism and mean-spirited, selfish self absorption that would make someone think it's okay to destroy something of such historical importance.


As many times as it takes to unseat an incumbent.


For me it's the endless use of apostrophes to pluralize words.

 Oh look, squirrel's.


Actually, traffic peaked in Portland on June 6th of this year when it took me three (3) hours to go from Vancouver,  WA on I-205 to I-5, a distance of about 26 miles.


I don't get Soros, he survived the Nazis (National Socialists), then fled the Communists to make billions here as a capitalist. But he is determined to engineer his own vision of a socialist world. But it is all over the international news feeds that these are anti-american protests funded by leftist organizations. Soros backed non profits are just a couple. Pays 15 bucks an hour. This is not the Facebook Craigslist rumor.


Unifor has treated the residents of Port Elgin, Ontario, in a selfish, shabby, disrespectful and dishonest manner for years. As a result, Unifor deserves no respect on other issues including its opinions on NAFTA. http://blackburnnews.com/uncategorized/2017/09/02/unifor-plans-resume-sound-tests-around-port-elgin-wind-turbine/ http://www.shorelinebeacon.com/2017/07/27/unifor-must-submit-partial-turbine-noise-test-results http://www.shorelinebeacon.com/2017/07/11/port-elgin-wind-turbine-frustration-falls-on-deaf-ears http://blackburnnews.com/midwestern-ontario/2017/07/11/still-no-acoutstic-testing-results-unifors-port-elgin-turbine/

Where is oboobas comments on this? He will say the same thing as when black lives matter criminals rioted and destroyed others property, they were just blowing off some steam.
Doing this to a mentally handicapped man at that. Pitiful.
Since they hate Trump so much they must have been hillary supporters. Be proud fellow Democrats. Probabaly worried Trump will make them get a job and get off of welfare. Does the article say where they work?


Bosco how do you feel about a $1.2 billion bill for a 3 day G20 summit of the world's elite's?  Be honest now you can do it....   I think Harper's is the most expensive to date.    Oh btw the Gas plants were $1.1billion (still a disgrace).

Why not a change to US policy to re-define Christians from these war-torn nations as refugees?


Take out The Granola State (California, the land of fruits and nuts and troughers) and Trump won the national vote by 1.4 million votes.  Take out the other two loony left states - New York and Massachusetts - and Trump won by about 5 million votes.

View the results from the perspective of the founders which gave weight to Little States Votes Matter and Trump won 31 of the 50 states.

So lets cut the crap about Trump losing the election.  He won by the rules in force since 1776 or thereabouts.   And he won the over whelming majority of the states.   Period.


Bittersweet existence we mortals are oftentimes saddled with that is for sure. Remember always reading about Kesey's success but never saw him in action.  Austin told the story so well it makes us yearn for whatever happy ending could be possible.


A fine article that does honour to all the soldiers who served and sacrificed themselves for Canada.


sorry, I have re-read your post several times, the first 3 lines, is not making sense.
.
Great, you have been studying the idea for 30 years. Then you should be able to explain this since you understand it, as I would love to.
My and most peoples question will be, Who pays for it ?
Where does all of this magic "free money" come from ?
I mean, personally i think it would be an awesome thing to know that people have their basic needs met. I run a non profit org and work with the homeless daily. To know or think that with this we could eliminate most homelessness once and for all ? freakin awesome!  It would free up so many other resources to focus on bigger and better things, higher education, cures for diseases, real renewable energy.
But even as a non profit org, we get money one of 2 basic ways.  1) or we earn it (which is most of our money) or 2) someone gives us some - someone else earned it.  We have no governemtn grants, those are all tax dollars.
Who pays for A Minimum Income?


Exactly.


"None of the charges involved are criminal because the borough's authority extends only to borough code. There will be no court appearance in this case unless Seilsopour decides to appeal".

Ridiculous! Take away his PFD's and tax returns until he has paid for all the medical care needed for these animals to recover. We as Americans, have turned our justice system into a million ways to protect the criminals and justice be damned!

We give out handouts to everyone who wants to work the system and lie, cheat and steal while the rest of us pay for their medical, housing, food, clothing, childcare etc. This is not what our founding fathers intended this country to become. I'm so disgusted and frustrated. I'm over the excuses and bullshit. Hold people accountable for their actions.


Lockem up and throw away the keys. Better yet feedem to the gators in the swamp he was supposed to have drained.


"Look the other way", America. "Look the other way."


Broken law continues to draw disrespect from a huge fraction of Canadians...

Those who imagine Emery's motivation is economic have over active imaginations. Marc and Jodie are activists who have used revenue from their various schemes to fund campaign after campaign against foolish laws. To see who will become rich from their work, take a look at the TSX!!!

The Globe's position fails to recognize that activists are often put in the position of having to defy bad law in order to fight it. Meanwhile millions of Canadians demonstrate *their* disrespect daily.

To their credit, the Liberals have recognized that cannabis prohibition is a donkey, so to speak. Greater would be their credit if they were to encourage respect for rule of law as a whole by getting us through the transition expeditiously. In the meantime, hypocrisy rules and good activists do time.


Presidential as always, clearly demonstrated by his intelligent, thoughtful, reasoned and articulate response.


We "shouldn't" need $54M and a year and a half to figure it out. Trudeau I and Chretien had the solution mapped out ~50 years ago. But there is the entire $10B+/annum Indian Industry at stake here (bent band "leaders"; politicians; lawyers; consultants), so expect the FN's best interests to be again sacrificed indefinitely to preserve the staus quo.


TRUMP IS A FRAUD


Did you have any proof that “the descendants of the indigenous groups” didn’t already “realise that reconciliation is a path to the future” before you launched your condescending lecture? You know, since you’re concerned about “hateful racist statements.”


This is called "dodging the question".


And do you think these jurisdictions will be thankful? Absolutely not. They will complain about how this process is making their cities 'more dangerous'. If ever there were a most asinine attitude of all the asinine attitudes on the Left, this takes the cake. I'm glad ICE has a work-around, and I wish them godspeed. More, please!


This is the state of medical ethics in Lane County.  A group of physicians and administrators pocket $34 million intended to provide medical care to the poor and the greatest in need.  Congratulations on serving your own greed and avarice.


I like that. I am stealing that statement


I find it all interesting how groups vigourously complain about cultural appropriation ("don't write about my culture") and then make criticisms that the general public is not reading enough about their culture ("why aren't you buying my books").  Some folks seem to want diversity dictated on their own insular terms.  I don't think that's how it happens - there's got to be a "blending" or a "merging" along the way.  If someone creates something that is outside their race or culture it is because they have been inspired to do so and they want to share that - not 'steal' it.


I'm concerned those international lawyers may be haters.


In the case of soccer, it's not so much the revenue brought in, it's how much men make professionally vs. women. They have no choice but to pay the men much more because if they offered them a pittance they'd laugh and simply not come. The women have no such leverage with their pro leagues that don't make any money. Not saying it's right, but that's it.

In this (hockey) case I'd tend to side with the athletes. Even if they don't bring in much revenue, the USOC clearly values medals. So that alone should get them more funding than just 6 months' every 4 years. Women's hockey is hardly the only sport that doesn't draw spectators outside the Olympics, and they're relatively successful.


Tell that to the Syrians and the Ukrainians and the Chechens and the Georgians.


"There's a lot of ignorance online."

Another topic altogether--although a very valid one.  Sometimes to two appear together--in addition to revealing his/her specific trait (narcissism, for example), the troll sometimes also reveals a stunning ignorance about the topic and issues being addressed.  I do NOT give most of these people credit for being clever enough to deliberately make ignorant comments to inflame the victim.  I just don't think most of them are THAT clever.


Privatizing profits and socializing costs is one of the core concepts behind crony capitalism.  And it's why this nation is headed to the ash heap of history* without serious reforms to break the back of the oligarchy that has seized control quietly since the Reagan-Clinton years.  (*There will surely be something calling itself the United States of America, but it will be rather like Rome pretended to be a Republic long after that premise became sickly laughable.  "That government of the oligarchs by the oligarchs for the oligarchs shall not perish from this earth . . .")


Yes, China has finally recognized the problem of environmental degradation, and is on track to become the world leader in both greenhouse gas/ air pollution reduction and as the go-to source of cost effective and very profitable, renewable energy technology.

Meanwhile, the Trump is working hard to enable a few more U.S. coal miners to spend their short lives working underground.

Pot and Tobacco two quite different products, and different results by the Body!


I am seventy years old..At 65 I had a chance to buy a little cabin in the area..I had to decide weither to work  5 plus extra years of my life to pay for my dream..A humble quiet little place where the air is clean, the streams are full of fish at times, and there are few neighbors except for an occasional moose or bear..Talkeetna is up the road, and Friday nights in the summer there is music in the bandstand put on by local people..So few locals that people at the hardware store, the grocery and the Art Council recognize me as a local cabin owner.. I don't continue to work so hard to live where there will be gas and oil exploration, possible influx of people, homes, trucks, machinery, noise, crime, drugs and all I continue to sacrificed to escape.


No the broncos still have about 11 million in cap space.  If you remember he tried hard to sign Calais Campbell which would have cost 12-15 million per year.

He cnose to not go after a tackle this offseason because everyone was driving up the prices of average journeymen tackles.  Heck Okung signed for like 50 million with the Chargers and was HORRIBLE for Denver AND Seattle.   Insane.   But if he wants to not waste this Defense hes got to address this OL seriously in the offseason and via the draft next season.


How about you send the feds your address and let them try a smallpox blanket out on you and yours and see if it works.  Generations have been inaculated.


The anti-union, misleading journalism continues. No mention of Tier 2 or Tier 3. No mention that it was the judges, not unions, that prevented changes to Tier 1 because it was a breech of contract. Give it up. Tier 1 is said and done - its unlawful to change what was already promised. Suck it up and realize that big reductions to PERS have already occurred via Tier 2 and 3 to ensure the problem eventually ends.


Tilly, congratulations on living a life of service.

66 in total, 39 in the old, and 27 in the new. those that study say there are no real issues, though non-believers often tout there are. i am in error, i thought it was the woman at the well. but that is not the point. the point is this: Jesus did not just wink and smile and say go on your way, He said: Go and sin no more. I am Protestant- so have no knowledge of the Catholic beliefs about the books included in their version. I am not concerned with exactly when the books were written- but believe the Bible to be, as stated, wholly inspired and without error. but then you say you studied alot, but i don't know what ccd is.


You don't need to keep liking your own comments. If you didn't like them you would not make them. Are you a bit insecure?

Gary,

I've changed my view of what qualifies as "old" and "geezer" as I've gotten older, I'm only in my 50's, so I'm not a "geezer" yet.

I grew up watching movies on a 19" Black and White TV, I first saw the movie In the Heat of the Night on TV in the 70's when I was in grade school, it was powerful and left a lasting impression on me.

Trudeau, an arrogant  clown.


Donald Trump is spending this morning of his vacation lamenting the removal of various monuments to treason in defense of slavery:
One thing I’ve been surprised by during this slow motion car crash into a raging dumpster fire is the sheer depth of Trump’s stupidity and ignorance.
You could tell during Tuesday’s press conference that he thought he had come up with a new and especially powerful argument when he lectured the reporters about the previously unappreciated fact — no doubt just relayed to him by an advisor in the previous day or two — that Washington and Jefferson owned slaves (wait until he finds out that Jefferson liked to rape some of his).
On top of everything else, he’s just really really dumb — and of course he remains blissfully unaware of this.


Naïve. Naïve.


What an appropriate drawing to illustrate this article!
Dear gay brothers, we know some of you are gay.  We think others of you are gay.  We love you.   Well,  I love you and I believe you are some of the best priests in the church.  I wish you could all come out of the closet.  If all of you came out of the closet, what would Rome do?   Fire at half of the priests in the world?  The hyprocrisy from Rome is disgusting and disheartening.  Please know that we care and support you.


My email showed your sweet response.  Thanks!


It was and is a matter of secrecy.  Reasons why action/s take place are often guarded national security programs.


Very cynical to say that.  you make an assumption of people "they" as being racist.  That is sad you would believe that. I guess if you can't make a good case for your cause, you can always pull the old race card out.  Not good.


President Trump did try to repeal and replace but was shot down without enough votes. Democrats would not get behind him as expected so they still have the plan that they created and shoved down our throats. If you're not happy with it you can thank former President Obama and the Democratic party that created it and forced it upon us before anyone even knew what was in it.
it will now become the dysfunctional behemoth it was destined to become and continue to be a drain the working people of America as planned.


Also: Obamacare is still in place, the wall is not being built, and his immigration ban was legally botched through being carelessly written.
I wonder how many of those coal miners are back to work yet.

This legal claiming money from Alaska by legislators should be stopped, and they should REFUND what each received that now in retrospect was WRONG!  It won't close the financial gap - but every penny will help. THIS should be stopped, and monies returned from their unwarranted past acceptances. Legislators should receive one paid trip to and from the capital each year - other trips from their own pocket!  Democrats and Republicans and all others can stop raiding the State of Alaska cookie jar as if they believed they were entitled. The State of Alaska should not fund legislator world travel, vacations, or any meetings around the world.


Where money originates, political influence is sure to follow.  Where political influence follows, regulation is prone to be compromised.  Which leads inexorably to the Golden Rule:  He who has the gold rules.


Premera Blue Cross is one of their largest creditors? I wonder if they accounted for employee healthcare costs in their decision to buy when comparing to other papers from "similar" cities...we live in the most expensive healthcare state in the most expensive healthcare country in the world. Ask any business owner what those costs might do to your margins! Good luck (but really)!


I heard Latinos for Trump are illegal aliens. All 50 of them.

Every barrel we don't produce here will be replaced by another country with lower standards.


Of course, the truth will be that Trump will not be found guilty... for reasons of insanity.


With Attorney General Jeff Sessions, as appointed by President Donald Trump, what other kinds of charges could there possibly be but "Trumped-up charges" against anyone?

A prosecutor only has to convince a jury of 12 people; some of whom may very well be one or more of those "forty million ignoramuses"!

Remember, a jury is largely composed of people not smart enough to avoid jury duty...or sometimes even  those who have hidden agendas.

How about it Liberals?
Since it's obvious that lack of finances is not an issue is there anyone left in Ottawa or Queen's Park that has any idea of what "do the right thing means" when it comes to our Canadian history and what one man was willing to do for this country?


Unfortunate that all legislators do not come up for re-election annually.  Governors?  Once every year - special election in October just a day or two after the PFD payments go out (or not).

You realize you're making assumptions motives and modus operandi for hundreds of thousands of men every year, right?  If anyone made those kinds of broad, unsupportable assumptions about women, we'd be pilloried.

Face it, you know a tiny, tiny, tiny fraction of men that get assaulted.  Just admit it.


“The first wave of soldiers on D-Day had better odds of survival than a Trump senior staffer,” quipped John Noonan.


Dear Sir, I understand your argument and for the most part agree that FB and Google should pay taxes. The part I'm unsure of is the claim that the FP pays GST and PST.  The FP is only submitting to the government that which is collected from it's customers. As for EI, and CPP I hope the figures you quote are the company portion of those expenses and don't include the employee portion. The health and education expense is a mystery to me since I'm not aware that any government specifically taxes any company for those two items. If those items are taxes that are charged on your employee benefit plan, again it is your employees that are paying the tax and not the FP. Let's also not forget that for every tax you pay it is deducted as an expense thus reducing your corporate tax. Without providing a link to the "list" you refer to, it's difficult to determine whether your statements are entirely correct.


As with most of HFP's politically bent articles, I'm seeing no supporting references attached.  I tried to do the work for you & what I found fell somewhere between Dr. Cascini's article (a trace of a substance in one sample (possible cross contamination according to her) & urban myth.


Because few priests have been falsely accused.  Many have been correctly accused and protected by the Church.  And many loyal catholics obediently mouth the defenses used by the church to avoid admitting its guilt, including the sad and sorry claim that many priests are suffering from false accusations.


Seems like the average Canadian is being squeezed out of the housing market. By whom?


Sounds like you've never had a girlfriend from Texas


Don't touch the dang savings.!!! OMG as soon as you politicians see money in an account somewhere you just gotta have it. Like the what was it 28 million in an account and schools needed funding? Education first public safety first, get rid of the deadweight city jobs appointed only for conveniences. Surrender 1/2 of your pay and any other job holder that makes over $100,000 a year, surrender some of theirs as well.!!! You politicians will think of any reason to take from us. Oh look over there, and when we turn back to see what happened you've robbed us blind.!!! You and Walker are disgraces.


In a hearings process such as this the decision is passed down and a penalty is assessed at a later date.  Lawyers (or agents) for both sides make submissions about their view of the penalty (the article suggests this is happening today).  The hearing panel decides and then (later)  issues reasons for their decision.


LOL, call yourself what you want. You certainly are a WEINER!!!. I didn't lose a thing.! It hasn't even been 8 months and Chump is struggling soooo bad that even his own constituents are second guessing him . But you keep drinking that cool aid old man. Your an easy target to go after so keep it coming!!!!

Calling Bannon's ambitions for political realignment "cosmological" is a bit much. The guy is a white nationalist thug and self-described anarchist. Why dignify him with supernatural stature.

<<The dirty secret is that TPP was not an example of “free trade.” Its hundreds of pages of provisions represented a grab bag of goodies for Big Pharma and other large corporate interests.>>

For a more temperate explanation of the TPP:

http://www.vox.com/cards/trans-pacific-partnership

Say what you will about the TPP, but by pulling out Trump has ceded American global leadership to China. Btw, China will have no compunction about disposing of worker and environmental protections insisted upon by the Obama administration in negotiating the TPP. Perhaps MSW can expand on this "social market economy" that will manage to encompass a protectionist, isolationist regime. Rather, Trump Inc., like the Putin oligarchy Trump so admires, promises corruption and kleptocracy unrivaled in US history.


There was nothing uncivil about that post.  Grotesque censorship is another reason the MSM is failing.


Excellent article. Blind self-interest, like all human failings (and wonders) is universal. The reckless greed evident in our government is echoed around the world (maybe not as blatantly as ours, which has betrayed us all and allowed -
even promoted - racial stereotyping to flourish).
And the planet-wide looting by the financial giants, the logical conclusion to the "greed is good" ethos, has caused us to become even more selfish, fearful of economic ruin with debts mounting (planet-wide totalling more than the amount of capital available).
I don't know if there's even space now for Madiba's vision. Maybe incorporate Trevor Noah into our school curriculum - his gentle mockery of human quirks in all "racial" groups is wonderful. And make "Guns, Germs and Steel" a set-work.


Highlander Yank,
" put the citizenry in the position of being forced to apologize for an unscrupulous and unprincipled leader"  Yeah, Thank God Obama's not our leader anymore    Maybe he can spend some time apologizing for his own sins, of which I'.m sure he has a few.


CO detectors have a finite lifetime. Anywhere from 6 months to 5+ years. That's not the battery life, it's the life of the actual hardware. Over time they become less effective and will eventually stop working all together. If yours is over a couple years old and you don't know the lifetime of that model, its best to just replace it. Make a note on the detector itself of when it will need to be replaced.


Nice try! Typical Caldwell tactic - can't defend the message so you attack the messenger.


This could turn into a gigantic clusterthing for the nascent marijuana industry. Nobody knows what Trump will do, but he is impulsive, and if Sessions has his way they will be sending in the storm troopers. Remember the massive bust of the bong industry back in the Bush years?

the GOP still has a lot of milk to get from that cash cow before she is shipped off to slaughter.


I provided history. I'm not sure where you get that the Church teaches that the Gospels were written by Catholics - the Gospels were written by early Christians.  Perhaps either I was unclear or you misunderstand.  To which "history" do you refer that disagrees with what I said.

Where do you see Church teaching diverging from "history"?

Obamacare is now more popular than Mr Turnip.


There was a time I really felt for Bill Morneau.  When he rolled-back the eligibility age for OAS, you could tell he knew it was wrong but took one for the team.

I no longer feel for him.  He knows this is wrong and he is actively selling it as a prescription.


"The whole of scripture needs to be read within its historical and literary contexts." Agreed! I just also think a faithful reading of scripture needs to accompany a belief that the text as a whole is inspired by God despite it's context and historicity. You can certainly understand Scripture as a purely historical text, but Church teaching, practice and dogma obviously cannot be grounded in such a reading.

Not at all confusing.  McCain knew very well that this would surface and he could end this repeal effort. So, he voted for debate and then when this came up, because it was addressing the house version, he voted to end it.  He is nothing if not a seasoned politician and this time he decided to vote country over (nasty partisan, destructive GOP) party and to try and restore bipartisan political conversation and action.  THANK YOU JOHN MCCAIN!


You should be more concened with those who treated her with judgemental cruelty.

In point of fact, Mulroney was sworn in on Sept. 17, 1984 .   That's less than half way into the fiscal year -- not the very end.  I grant you that it is challenging to effect change in the bureaucracy, but he did have a full 6 months to rein in spending.  And his first full budget really wasn't much of an improvement at 6.9% of GDP.

You and Nemo are giving the lovable old Irishman far too much credit!


Vatican II has not replaced Lamentabili, to my knowledge.


Very Wrong Bycatch. I am in a relatively low tax bracket. I am most concerned how these income tax proposals defy our constitution and basic free enterprise principles. Socialism has a problem, it does not create wealth - it stops it from being created.


Not one molecule of that dead horse is left.


Why is it that usual liberals and free-thinkers like yourself, Cognitive Dissonance, take the side of the extreme conservatives ( like the 1% of Canadian muslims who endorse extreme Wahhabism) over the Stephen Harper moderate -type conservatives on this issue.   You wrap yourself up in the greatness of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms when it comes to freedom of religion, but only in the one case of Wahhabi -islam whipped women of the niqab wearing sort, who would actually be better off if you supported the their rights of a woman in its banning of niqabs and burqas.     This is the one issue where you chose to side with extreme conservative over the obvious choice of liberating oppressed women.    How do you reconcile this?


So?
Inequity is a good thing for the world?
Am always left with the "what next" when being lectured to by the entitled Neo-Liberals.
Even many members of the original women's movement (a good cause), when faced with the "basket of deplorables", backed some pretty harsh solutions to upgrade humanity.


I would like to see any pipeline acceptance, by the central government, positioned as part of a longer term plan. That is, longer term we are striving for green energy but we aren't there yet; shorter term, we need oil and we need to get our product to market, so pipelines are necessary (subject to a high level of safety screening). Screaming from both sides of the debate sounds like they aren't considering the longer term at all. It's either all pipeline forever or no pipeline ever and both positions ignore the likely future evolution of our energy sector.


Disagree.  The billion plus in China are only now beginning to experience middle class life.  Like the Japanese beforehand, these folks are anxious to travel, not so much internationally but initially within their own country.  Later, you'll see more and more visiting other destinations overseas, including Hawaii.


The Republicans have two issues: cutting taxes for billionaires, keeping non-white immigrants out of this country.

With the never ending pablum delivery of the diversity kool-aid still never, not once, an explanation of how it makes us stronger as a country. Never, just that it makes us nice. And as usual diversity is coded for diversity by skin color and gender, certainly not diversity of thought as that has been proven to be unacceptable.


Both they US Congress and Senate would save themselves a lot of grief and embarrassment  if they just renamed the bill known as "Obamacare" as "Trumpcare" while telling the POTUS that they made a lot of amendments with actually even touching it. Obamacare may not be perfect, but the fact is that messing with it will hurt millions of US citizens, especially the most vulnerable.


Thank you, I hate seeing the above reader's argument as it gets quite old.


Part one
Not at all barknmod. Prior to 1947 Israel was made up of small pockets of land within Palestine. In that year the UN Partition took place. At that point about half of Palestine was annexed to Israel. Palestine was essentially left with the area we now call the West Bank, Gaza and a small pocket of land in the northern border of Lebanon. By 1949 the land in the north was taken over. Not only Palestinians were removed but also the Druze. At that  time both the West bank and Gaza shrank in size; about the size of those areas now occupied by Palestinians. This happened after the British Mandate and the Arab-Israel War of 1948 ended. Obviously I am giving you a nutshell history lesson but you can always do some research.

Between 1949, when the State of Israel was declared, and the present day, Gaza has remained as a small pocket of land but the West Bank has been incrementally taken over by Israel with settlements, leaving pockets of land for the Palestinians.


I've no doubt you are wondering...for I have read this rant several times and am still at a loss to determine what it means.
1). I NEVER enjoyed sending out fake news. Ridiculous.
2). What election activities of mine? Even more ridiculous...
3). I never said "this snark, that snark..." So I have no idea what tricks your "memory" is playing. Ridiculous doesn't cover this remark
4). What investigations I "desired"?
5). The rest of your remark is pretty much even more off the charts, if possible.

Stop attacking all the time, Annie. Take a deep breath, and keep the false accusations at bay, please.  Discourse would then perhaps be possible...but your comments to me and some others haven't been "discourse" for a very long time.

Pax et Bonum.


DD,

A person who is gifted by the Holy Spirit easily recognizes and respects when another is gifted and their experience with God enables them to see quickly when a person is not gifted. Thinking that a person can be gifted by the Holy Spirit without having a testimony about their experience with the power of God is the first evidence that their concepts are based on theory rather than scripture and experience with God. Second is their persistence in arguing with those who are gifted and ministering using the gifts that are in them. Please, get experience with God, discover the gifts He has promised to give all who believe and find the ministry He wants you doing. Then come back and let's celebrate God's greatness together.


That scuffle had absolutely not a thing to do with SCROTUS, the Orange-Crapstain-in-Chief. Get your noses out of his nether regions.

Battle lines have been drawn by the Alt-Left.  When Indivisible Denver/Black Lives Matter say they want to "...dismantle white supremacy.." what they mean is they want to dismantle the very Foundations/Institutions this nation was built upon.


"...baby boomers continue to live the high-life by borrowing from their children's financial future." Spoken, perhaps, like a spoiled--or maybe disadvantaged--millennium. Sorry for you.  But neither I, nor my boomer wife, fit into your neat little equation.

Our cost of living runs about $3,500 mo.  But, And savings and mortgage-free home we live in are meant to live a nice inheritance for the three kids when we say our final adios. Lots of us out there, I suspect.

So, we are far from borrowing from our children's financial future.  In fact, given the investments these under 40s are making, chances are good THEY won't have to borrow much at all in the next 20 years or so.  You're welcome to do the same.

Personnally I think it's a stupid attitude from Hilton company, in fact, paying my stay every year 8'000$ for two weeks, taking into account that there are more than 4'000rooms dont tell me that Hilton cannot afford 10K$ per year for it's fireworks?!? For me with or without fireworks it won't change anything to Hawaii, people will continue to come to Oahu, they dont come out in Waikiki just because there is a 5min fireworks.

Reporting on and drawing conclusions base on only a small cherry picked number of those "facts" is just as dishonest as out right lying. I can tell you right now as individual who is fairly decent with numbers I can use facts and real numbers to prove you have a great company or one that is falling part, it all depends which "facts" I use.


Oh, she lied alright. And more recently than that.


Some legislators are proposing to reduce or eliminate prison sentences for NONVIOLENT offenses, such as drug possession. It's a waste of taxpayer's  money. Even the Koch brothers agree.


Nope, sorry.

You self-deleted your previous post because you knew you were wrong, and now you're back doubling down with newly found "proof".

Too bad your big link from the discredited loony liberal Buzzfeed contains no proof whatsoever that Cohen met with anyone, or even went to Prague.

You were wrong before and you're wrong again now.

Own it like a man.


Talking points and flag waving nothing else.  Tony Clement said the same things but when asked for "what exactly would you do differently?", he didn't ever explain and hung up on the CBC, and the priceless free air time he could have used to sell his plan, (if he really had one in the first place).

This reflects the same actions as Trumps Executive Order enacting the Muslim Ban. When pressed "what exactly is the threat, beyond talking points and flag waving?" and his crack team of US Attorneys had nothing. "See you in Court!" was his reaction and he hung up the phone on twitter.


Jimmy Kimmel, like the left-wing Washington Post, is just awful. He's gone full libtard and is one of many reasons late night talk shows are terrible and nobody intelligent watches anymore.


Senator Warren is a crackpot socialist with obsolete ideas that belong in early 20th century Russia.


Salmonfest has a pretty good head start on this guy as far as the promotional thing goes as well as the notoriety of lower 48 class acts that find their way to Alaska in the summer. I wish him luck though. He's going to need it. He'll have a lot of perception obstacles to overcome.


So first priority is trans gendered. Why did that become the cause celeb this year.  And second priority was alphabet soup. So if you're homeless but normal , screw you. We only want same sex people.

And how many days until those tiny houses are covered in graffiti, full of feces and condoms, turned on thier sides, and strewn with needles. I'd say a week.

And the mental health issues? Drugs are bad, they'll wreck your brain. Choices have consequences. Snowflakes blame everyone but themselves


Maybe James Barrett the con artist from Juneau, will house them all....


Polis is a dishonest NIMBY, plain and simple. All you need to do is recall how he claimed that an oil and gas well being drilled across the street from his second home near Berthoud was causing adverse health consequences for his partner's children. Funny that they hadn't even fracked the well to that point, but yet he was claimed that fracking fluids were the direct cause. Jared Polis is toxic for Colorado!


"Timing lights for bikes"?  ROFLMAO!  The bicyclists in Eugene ignore red lights because they are already 'enlightened' by being bicycle riders.

Same reason they ignore one-way bicycle lanes or one-way streets and other traffic safety rules and devices.  They are above such things.


It would be nice if the Editors took a opportunity to talk to Bill K. and just ask him where he got the quote.    I've been sent many emails over the years through strings of personal contacts that contain exactly this kind of information.. "Obama brings sixth fleet and spends 2 trillions dollar in Hawaii.....).

So knowing for fact that there intentional deceptions in large quantity on several types of media, you would think a quality newspaper like the RG would chase this story a little farther.  If Bill is willing that is.


Yes, BUT that counts all of the dead voters and illegal voters too. once you remove them, trump still wins.


The Clinton campaign has a TV ad airing which challenges tRump's sacrifice to the nation.  While tRump is shifting around in his chair when asked to identify what personal sacrifices he's made, he tries to list his financial accomplishment.  In the meantime, the TV ad is focusing on military veterans who lost sons in a war or veterans who were sitting in a chair without legs, or veterans watching tRump on previous episodes arrogantly saying he knew more than our military generals.  The tRump sacrifice ad is powerful and I hope the clinton campaign plays that every day until November.


Sounds like someone took a big drink from the Trump sippy cup. Good thing is, racist bigots like you at a dying breed.


Interesting someone becomes victim already due to this human right game. It is not a smart move probably.


What is your definition of terrorism?


The unfortunate thing about this article is it makes too much sense, which means it will never happen.

Your analysis/comment confuses two separate issues: the rates themselves & what the companies do (or do not) pay. To say that the companies do not pay the "effective" tax rate is not the same as saying that the tax rates are not the highest. Which is exactly what the NPR article is saying. The statutory US corporate tax rate is the highest. This is a fact. Now, do corporations seek to avoid paying that rate? Yes, primarily by registering in a foreign jurisdiction with a lower statutory rate (such as Ireland for many tech companies). This is why Pres. Obama was correct when he argued that by cutting the statutory corporate tax rate companies would pay more US taxes potentially. They also spend a great deal of capital trying to lower their tax burden; many economists argue that this is a misapplication of capital that by cutting corporate tax rates might be allocated to different goals.


Thanks, Neko.
<I've also known traditionalists whose company was a pleasure.>
So have I. It may be a cliche, but some of my best friends ...
But the folks we've been hearing from here are not Catholic traditionalists. They use some Catholic words and concepts, but they do not know, understand or believe the tradition. When they try to sing a Catholic tune, they are off-key.
<That said, the "fringe" exhibit certain traits: ostentatious religiosity, anger, fear, paranoia, homophobia, political fancifulness, and, in the worst cases, misanthropy and detachment from reality.>
These are the characteristics of religious fundamentalism across various religions and denominations.  Fundamentalism is, in many respects, not so much a theological deviancy (although it is that) but a psychological deviancy.
<<"[Baum] was the most charitable and optimistic person I've ever known," said Hinsdale.>>
Yes, that does speak volumes: more than theology texts, CDF statements, or encyclical letters.

Pilot’s legal responsibility: NOTAM  http://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/detail_7_6876.html or FSS  A pilot could lose his/her licence if they did not check for NOTAMs and violated the TFR around the hazard.  It is not legal for anyone to operate an aircraft in the TFR designated area.

Disagree on this - nations DO have friends

I can believe many or most relationships are more about interests, but there are certain countries with such long histories that they truly are friends.  Canada and the US.  Canada and the UK.  THe UK and France.  These are real bonds.


The problem is that you have three useless/obsolete degrees.  Those with economics and political science degrees or diplomas in journalism are no employable as they do not offer many marketable skill sets.  I have still not seen any unemployed doctors or dentists.  The lesson to kids today is to get a RELEVANT education.  Period.

you make good points.  my mind was in the mode of  school sweethearts.  she's a fresh or soph, he's a senior when they meet...later, he graduates, she's still in high school. the only thing that may have changed for those hypothetical 2,] is  a year older for both.  but yes, I see a bigger picture when you bring in the factor of where it's made a scoring game, or drinking game -  that should be rape....god forbid, even if the young girl consented.  but that is a sexual offense no doubt.  I guess this what a jury or judge decides.


Short Cuisinart.


This is journalism?  There are a few gaping holes in the story.


Like all cafeteria catholics you simply declare that any part of the doctrines of the Church you don't like are not DE FIDE.  In the end, just another delicate snowflake who cannot accept and follow the full teachings of the church, picking and choosing what you like, but without the intellectual honesty to admit it.


What are you talking about Dick?  There were over 3,000 basketball enthusiast at the games.  Good gawd almighty keep your yap shut.


Let's simultaneously lay fiber optic and power cables to the Big Isle.  Time to fully tap that geo-thermal and boost communications.


In the first place, how hard is it to make a speech?
"Canada to speak up for Rohingya Muslims at United Nations: Freeland" is literally what Canada's involvement is.

In the second place it should be obvious to you that Canada has settled on this for any news coverage it may get during the UN week with virtually no person in opposition to Canada's speech.

You should be thanking Ms. Freeland for a job well done.


"This election is about racism."

You comment certainly proves that!


Ah there it is. The double whammy of shaming the Catholic piety of MILLIONS throughout history accompanied by the elevation of sexual fulfillment to a "need" which must be satisfied at every turn.

Spare me of the "when did Jesus ever talk about the Rosary or when did he ever say anything about contraception" stuff. Just be honest with yourself. Catholicism is what it is. It's REALLY difficult to accept. It's even more difficult to actually live out. If you don't want to adhere to the Church's perennial teaching which is incapable of change because it belongs to the revelation of Christ Himself through the Church then just cease to be Catholic.

Give up the "by golly I'll bend the Church's teaching to my will so I can stay Catholic the way I know it's meant to be" bit and just own up to reality.


For the record, the AFC pre-De Vos invited Rose. It's credibility, through no fault of the other members, went out the window when he joined last year, I believe, after Max Price et al withdrew Rose's invitation.

So all this hand wringing about the WAM chair being ousted has turned out to be a bunch of hype based on the anonymous comments of folks with their own agendas? Pretty shameful reporting. Tokuda deserves our respect and support for keeping a close eye on the budget, not a smear from political opponents trying to make points with the public.


I thought the editors of Commonweal had a thoughtful, yet critical, take on the Civilta article. I find it telling that almost no one has seen fit to acknowledge, yet alone respond to it. Instead, there has been an echo chamber of groupthink that simply re-tweets praise & acclaim for the article, without acknowledging some of its weaknesses.

As the Commonweal editors say: "But it is not just what you argue that matters; how you argue is equally important. On that score, Spadaro and Figueroa’s article is a mishmash of wild and erroneous claims, made in a disjointed, almost impenetrable style."

While addressed to Christians, this is an excellent commentary on anger. I just mentally delete all the “God” and “Jesus” stuff. Besides, isn’t there a myth about a very angry “God” wiping out most every living thing on Earth but the contents of some “Ark”…an oversized craft that would have been impossible to build…and would have sunk in days had it actually existed? Now that is some real anger! The old testament God was supposedly superseded by a new covenant but is still widely embraced by new testament believers.
I have acquaintances who are non-angry Christians. Very pleasant…although I find it rather bland after a while…and I have seen some of them explode with repressed anger (at their kids, no less). I presume the author also addresses the frothing-at-the-mouth Christians...the fear-based cults so politically active these days. But again, his non-denominational views on anger apply to us all.


Trump exempted nations with a majority belief in Islam IF he has business dealings there. Red meat for his followers, greenbacks for his pockets.


Conservative Christians have the power.
Conservative Christians can't stand the fact gay people have the same rights as them. They want to restore their former power imbalance that was in favor of them.
Conservative Christians want the right to discriminate against gay people, on religious grounds.
But, if a gay business owner discriminates against a Christian, that Christian can sue the gay business owner on grounds of religious discrimination.


Dear Pete.
Please recall that Mr. Harper & Company were moving toward budget surpluses, therefore they would not need to be creating more ways to squeeze taxes from the people.
The problem is on the spending side of the ledger, the Liberals are happy to buy votes with reckless spending, all the while telling the populace that it is the evil rich who should pay to make their life better.  Which is okay to a point, but we are going well past that point...


How can it be NK? According to all western sources, North Korea lives in the stone age and is struggling to even keep the lights on.


BULL!!

This is Murkowski's attempt at propaganda. She should hold a townhall meeting and she will see for herself how many Alaskans are angry about healthcare being taken away and DeVos.

She won't of course.


Actually Clark is just cementing her Party's status as the Trump northern farm team, embracing the Trump's post truth methodology.


My condolences to her family and friends as well as all in the industry who worked with her and new her.


The ethically broken compass part-time mayor/part-time banker sees no problem with and has zero issues with doing things that will offend the proper sensibilities of normal citizens who are obligated to abide by societal protocols, rules and laws.

Just another notch on the Cadwell cane of ineptitude, hubris and unbridled corruption.

Good choice Kirky...you must either be a Christian above other Christians by turning the other cheek or owe Mr. Alexander something big. Why does this small rock feel an obligation to recycle every has been, loser or convicted criminal...INTO GOVERNMENT???


I didn't vote for Trump, but now that he's in I *do* hope that a different approach -- to our nation's many, many issues -- will yield positive results, or at least move us in a positive direction.

That said, regarding the line, "Republicans oppose [ACA] and call it a government overreach", the only thing I can't help recalling is that the GOP's proposed alternative was...

...wait for it...

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AT ALL.

(Unless you count "shutting down the government" as a solution. Which must have been fun to have been a Republican voter thrown out of work because of the Party's hollow grandstanding.)

So whatever comes of Trump's plan *has* to be better than THAT, no? Otherwise, as has been said elsewhere, we will continue to be a first-world nation with third-world healthcare.


WE can't really expect one person on the team to score all the points, remember there are 10 other players on the offense and 11 players on defense, if they can't work together as a team find other players who can


Freddy, your title suggests you made it to Meccah.

You should really understand how was Islam spread throughout the middle east, North Africa, the Iberian, Asia, Indonesia etc years after the death of your Prophet??

Your people conquered by the sword, forced their religion on folks, focred their language on folks, and blamo you have the Egyptian, Moorish, Grenadian, Indonesian, Sudanese, and the West African societies all being Islamic.

Every culture has done this, hell yours still does it in Darfur, Parts of Northern Iraq, and S Sudan.

But it is only bad when the west does it right?


You should probably take a look at the Reagan administration's record on illegal immigration.


No surprise that the Newsmax morons are busy hunting and pecking away here.  Yeah, sure, it's a hoax because that's what scientists spend their time doing. Sort of like Trump University.

Peer reviewed study? Hoax in the Newsmax alternate universe.

Enjoy your delusions, simpleton.


You obviously haven't been paying attention and I can't believe I'm doing your work for you but here goes.

Since I suspect you are capable of reading only one article, I would suggest that you google "Expert on Nazism explains the shocking similarities between Trump and Hitler's propaganda tactics." (History News Network, Oct. 12, 2016).

If that's not enough for you (it should be enough for ANYONE) you might want to try googling the following articles:

"How Hitler's rise to power explains why Republicans accept Donald Trump."
(New York Magazine, July 7, 2016)

"There's a little Mein Kampf in Trump's Art of the Deal." (USA Today, 3/31/2016)

"Is Donald Trump getting his cues from Hitler? How the GOP leader is following the Fuhrer's recipe." (Alternet.org, Dec. 10, 2015)

"The similarities are too obvious: Donald Trump thinks like a Nazi." (LA Times, Oct. 22, 2016)

"The theory of political leadership that Donald Trump shares with Adolph Hitler." (Washington Post, July 25, 2016)


Napartaq, I believe that the author of the article and those he is quoting are referring to the entire area of surface streets that one has to traverse when connecting to or from the Seward and Glenn Highways as "downtown" --- I don't think that anyone is suggesting that this traffic is moving through the literal downtown of Anchorage.

Regardless of what one wants to call that area, it is a fact that the lack of a highway-to-highway connection in "downtown" Anchorage is a grievous bottleneck and weak link in the Anchorage road system, the resolution of which is (at least) four decades overdue.


Well, you must know more than your leader Bannon. Maybe you should start your own conservative fake news website.


Incorrect on many counts. You should not be allowed to borrow anything based on the mental capcity stress-test.


You don't know what a heresy is.


Thanks, Cathal. Halladay's passing is a real shocker. Such was the man. I never knew or met him but he carried his self the way you would want all professionals to. Pro athletes, especially those like Halladay who are in it for the purity of the sport, are a separate breed. Your reference to the young boy, Sean, illustrates Roy's character. He made millions but it was all about perfecting his craft and the people around him. He will be missed and fondly remembered. I hope the Jays make up a bunch of Haladay shirts with the proceeds going to Roy's favourite charity. I'll buy one. Such was the man.

This is a long overdue initiative to help the working poor.

-proposed administrative requirements "red tape" do not appear onerous and at and least one of the present requirements will be dropped.

-There are virtually no wage raises in minimum wage jobs.

-There is no evidence that an increase in minimum wage affects hiring.

-There is no evidence that this will affect younger workers.

-More money circulating in the economy particularly in the hands of those who most need to spend it should stimulate economic growth.

Increasing the minimum wage and providing a modicum of security to the working poor will reduce their need for taxpayer funded government supports.  Taxpayers should not be underwriting the labour costs of companies.  Better security for the working poor will also improve their health thus reducing expenditures and give them more flexibility to improve their education.


I just love the reality note ---- "minority-elected "President" Trump.


That has a lot of to do with Americans being ignorant and uneducated about anything besides the US.


What "scandal"? Not a cent has been spent, this has yet to be voted on by Parliament, and you're calling "scandal"?


Now days people really don't gorge on all the buffet items. At least from what I observe when I go. Like me I only gorge on the most expensive items. Who cares about pasta and stuff.

Pete Antonson, You mean those thousands of studies on ANIMALS say that GMOs are safe for HUMANS to consume?  By the way, do you think of yourself as a scientist?


Thank god.  Time to play by the rules Christy.


Donald's campaign is in meltdown mode. He is down 15 points in the polls. Republicans are deserting him in droves. He has a BIG mouth, and spends more time attacking Republicans than he does Hillary. The GOP is fractured. A party that's not united, can't win. Donald does not have a snowballs chance in Hades. He simply can't control himself.


Are these people really so dense that they believe countries should not have borders?  What kind of country just allows anyone to move in anywhere anytime?  It is a felony to enter Mexico illegally.  What if we treated every "undocumented" alien as a felon in the US?  I hate the way they move here illegally and then tell us what our laws should be and how they have a right to this and that in our country.  It's like me moving into their house and demanding dinner and complaining about the service!


Bennet needs to wear a body cam at all times and install cams into and outside his house and car. Trouble is black people give themselves a bad name and nice guys like Bennet suffer for it. What can they do to reverse this? You tell me.

Thanks for that Lynn, it's a good observation.    I'll date myself, but I was thinking along the lines of the high rise apartments like Cabrini-Green and others built with good intentions to house people, but terrible designs for human beings.

I agree with people like yourself, that put housing as a foundational base for building a life.    (I find it difficult to say, but in some cases institutional housing is the best way to offer advanced mental health care as well)

But after living in three very different parts of the country, housing needs are not same, not in price, not in needs, not in construction.   I think state/local leadership structures are the best option.     The fed may well have a great design, but if it doesn't fit North Dakota, it won't be supported in North Dakota.

Thanks for your insights, something that I have enjoyed now for many months.


Trumps now seems to be doing what USA Presidents should have done in the last 30 years: REMOVE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS FROM THE USA. I hope Canada will not tolerate SANCTUARY CITIES but deport illegals from the country as soon as identified. This is the way to keep Canada a welcoming country for refugees and economic migrants. They MUST come in Canada LEGALLY.


Lock the Pig up!


Hallelujah. That just wouldn't play here.


Lies damned lies and statistics....percentage increases mean nothing..you need to know the starting number!  The leap from 1 to 2 is 100% increase!!
The reality is that there are many more anti Semitic complaints thsn anything related to muslims. Get real!


You've got to lower the bar a bit, lets start with the FN word for "wheel" or "steel"....


Ok Trump we heard yor anti free tade message.


Weld County would double their tax revenue if they were just paying for themselves and not the social programs the cities put on. Clown


Some puzzling stuff, here:

Saudi Arabian officials have argued that military purchases ... should be seen as a goodwill gesture by the Islamic kingdom to cement its friendship with Canada."  Okay, on that basis, I don't think Canada should care.  Oh, but if that "friendship cement" comes with $15 billion pay-out, helping to finance 3,000 jobs, well, hmmm...

And this: "...other unrelated Canadian companies such as Terradyne have been making their  own combat machine sales to the Saudis."  Wow: how much are THEY worth?  And, is these deals government-backed contracts? And so what? Are these deals okay by the government or  not?

Also this head-scratcher:  "...reports that show older Canadian-made combat vehicles taking part in the bloody civil war in Yemen – a use for the machines that was not contemplated when Canada sold them to Saudi Arabia to maintain internal security."

Hey, wait!  Isn't putting down dissent in a Saudi province a matter of maintaining "Internal security"?


That shows the caliber of women's soccer yet they want fair compensation?


If they hadn't murdered or scared off nearly all the non-muslims I suppose it would have been them getting arrested.


There you go again....This is not Hillary Clinton, so I'll leave the rest of the name-calling to you. Funny thing for a retired federal prosecutor to be into, but seems like a good time for you to retire. Relax while you're at it...


I agree with your statement whole heartedly but getting people to come together in this day and age is as easy as trying to drive your car without fuel.


You say, "Some people want to decide who can do what in OUR city."
Who are you referring to?

The growth limit policy is a citizen's initiative, petitioned by the residents of Lakewood, supported by City Council leaders, City staff, and their citizens by the thousands.

It is not likely to stop any redevelopment.

It is not likely to drive any middle class families anywhere. There are no plans to develop new middle class family homes in Lakewood.

It is not likely to make Lakewood unattractive for business growth.


Two evils to choose from.  Which is the lesser evil?


Inner city schools have plenty of money?????  In what universe?
The suburban public schools that have good funding do very well by their students.  Inner city schools, with many poor children do not have nearly enough money to provide the services necessary.  Public schools in many parts of the country, which have significant working class poor populations usually do not have the funds (and often also lack the sufficiently talented administrators) to provide the services that the children need to succeed.

Are you holding Strada's hand?
You constantly follow him around like a puppy.
Probably just a sock puppet.


They've been saying lower rates through the entire process.  Not that I expect you to believe anything they say, of course, since you're always on the opposing side.


This week a report came out about how print media is crashing due to all the 'free' news on the internet. Well, Globe and Mail, if you expect me to pay for tripe such as this article - or anything else by her - you better review characteristics of your readership - or maybe work in a 'refund for useless articles' mode for your subscription rates.


One less crap retailer in Alaska.


The ASD is its own little Ivory Tower and one would think that with a 700 million dollar budget, declining student enrollment and underutilized schools management one would think their financial house would be in order.
Oddly, considering there is absolutely no inflation, the district agreed to a one year salary/benefit and bonus increase for teachers which added to the 11.5 million dollar shortfall. If the BSA increase fails I think the amount goes up to 16.5 million.
I'd like to see the roofs repaired too but this is the least of their worries and it is primarily due to a lack of leadership.


Your correct in principle, but what do we do the revenue from oil?  We can save it or spend it.  We already have almost 60 billion is savings, so spending seems reasonable.  Now, who should spend it?  The people who own the resource that is being sold, or the government on their behalf?

It seems that individual people spend the money better then government; neither "deserve it".  (a side note, perhaps we should slow the rate of oil production and live on savings for  while, using the oil in the ground as our "savings"; the pipeline should have been built to move 1 Mb/d).


Every veteran should watch this very closely. Your life could defend on it.


Sounds like you blame him.


If anything is "sad" it's your regular attempts to portray yourself as the arbiter of what others say, when your comments rarely make any sense. Introducing 19th century farmers into the discussion of contemporary elections in Virginia is a sophomoric attempt to draw attention to yourself instead of contributing to the discussion.


"bringing more misery, probably, to many of us."

The word  'probably' defines a true believer.

The Senate hasn't even written a word in response to the House bill yet and James knows today what it will look like in a couple of months after revisions and Conference Committee actions and that it is going to be bad!

Orwell:  Four legs good!  Two legs bad!

James:  Democrat good!  Republican bad!

Just the bleating of an indoctrinated Sheep.


What you had under 8 years of George Bush is amnesty. Illegals didnt have to do anything. The progressive pro active method of giving the ones who work and stay out of trouble, giving them a path to citizenship, or simply a way to work and better themselves without constant fear of losing everything is a better approach. It also shines the light on the 5 million who aren't desirable. Illegals have been a problem for 90 years over 15 presidents. Citizens wish they werent here, but they are. Creating a solution that requires them to stay out of trouble, work and pay taxes, get a drivers license solves a lot of the issue. Identifying the 5-6 million who are not the problem, and shines the light on the 5-6 million that are. It takes half the illegal population and gives them a reason to pay taxes, act right and not cause trouble. That's what we want. And if they do they can pay a fine and earn a limited citizenship.


It has always been, a matter of money.

Power Politics say, preventive emergency spending, will never be an option.

Power Politics say, reactive emergency spending, will always be an option.

I am still waiting for an answer ... yes or no. Anything beyond this ...


I hope things continue to improve.........I hope a nice table/bench area would be used by downtown workers and visitors for a quiet lunch and a short respite from work....That would be great.  If it simply would become a comfortable area for the travelers to "hang out", that would not be so great.  Gary Crum


Yes, globe and fail. It's been a year since he got elected and a year since you filled Lake Ontario with so much of your tears, it could power a hydroelectric dam for the next 100 years. Find a new hobby.


The Republicans don't lead, don't follow and get in the way. The Democrats don't have a platform, follow blindly and get in the way.


all large organizations end up being run for the benefit of insiders and not whoever it is that they are supposed to serve.


Poor Port Angeles


We forgot to mention Robert Byrd, kkk organizer. His name is on 55 buildings and was described by Hillary as her " friend and mentor." Byrd served 57 years as Democrat in Congress.

Of course Washington District of Columbia, (Columbus) has to be renamed. No more  Washingtons, cities, states ,  sir names, streets... Don't want to offend indigenous people.


I agree it certainly isn't going to go away unless specific action is taken to accomplish that. One place to start might be the popular campus fashion of trying to cut police and courts out of the process of delivering justice by instituting "sexual assault tribunals", or the like, where the rules of evidence are flexible and the punishment, while not including jail time, can be devastating.

So ... the Senate ethics committee has decided that Meredith's behaviour has tainted the dignity of the Senate, and allowing him to remain would damage the trust the public has in the Senate?

Hee  Heeee  Heeeeeeeeeeeee ........


Oh. Is America a "democracy" again? All I've seen from Trump supporters in the wake of this election is that America is not a "democracy" but rather a "republic". Which one is it going to be? You can't have it both ways.

Moreover, I fail to see how taking a principled stand has anything whatsoever to do with with having "respect" for "democracy". Please explain.


Insulting to 7 year old boys everywhere.


As adults, these so-called dreamers are breaking the law by being here. Is it that hard?


you thinking we should screen out jokes cause the political correct police nutters like you dont like them is the definition of snowflake stupidity


That was a normal regulation.


I have been a lawyer for 34 years and I am a part time professor of law.  I got my LLM years ago.  The article is misleading and confusing.


Reminds me of  poor old  German VG Gruber who became the scapegoat for another  to take them out of the firing line.........


The Times was an independent locally owned paper. The Daily News was owned by the liberal McClatchy corporation that could afford to subsidize it through the tough times. The News came out in the morning and the Times came out in the evening. Big mistake - and by the time the Times swapped to morning they had lost a lot of readership. Steady level of journalistic integrity - that's hysterical.


Canadian rates go up based on housing bubbles, sure sounds 'sustainable' to me.  Appears more of a political rather than a practical decision.


Rubin is a partisan hack.


"Corporate SJW"? Rather an oxymoron, don't you think?


Thank you Denver Post for this puff piece on the Obama acolytes.  Coloradans only need this piece of information to save themselves from the neo-coms.  They are idealistic, caring and completely ignorant of the destructiveness of their ideological roots.   They will use the force of government to impose their goodness and caring ways upon us all.  They will starve business of capital while they increase benefits to their base.  It doesn’t work everywhere it has been tried.


Completely wrong Gary!  This is not a school yard bully, he is the President of the United States whether we love him or loath him.  We didn't choose him, the American electoral system did and at the very least we need to respect that.   If Canada is smart we'll play up to him, get what we need and want.  I don't believe Canada should back down from what we need and nor give into unreasonable demands but to use rhetoric as a tool would be foolish and risky with this man.  Understanding what to get from the man who holds that office is part of smart diplomacy.  Perhaps if we treat him the way he likes it'll be much easier for Canada to get what it needs.  Let's stoke the man's ego, the rest will follow and we'll benefit from it. Who really cares, he doesn't represent us.


Morguard and Hunt dealt with the enforcement of judgments between Canadian provinces, which under Canadian law have the jurisdiction to regulate enforcement of foreign judgments with respect to most areas of law. However, the Supreme Court specifically noted in Morguard the need in the modern world economy “to facilitate the flow of wealth, skills and people across state lines in a fair and orderly manner.” As such, these cases must be considered in assessing the issue of the enforcement of foreign judgments in Canada.
Canada’s lower courts have almost universally applied the Morguard principles of enforceability to judgments originating outside Canada’s borders. This extension of Morguard has considerably simplified the enforcement procedure for foreign litigants.

Those land sales were all public record. The IRS isn't going after him. It was one county financial disclosure form that was missing.


(part 5)

The NYT, WP, Economist and other respected voices of the political establishment and ruling class is correct in that he is "unpresidential"by their standards; but he was elected to drain the swamp! He is a symptom of a larger political malaise in the West and new class cultural war.

For all the fuss about him not being "presidential" and the latest "tweet", he just reinforces the hubris of the current ruling class. Almost two years and Brooks and co. can only still respond with ridicule or hysteria - no introspection or understanding - just doubling down on the #Resistance.

The great founding principle of America was always rule by the people not an aristocracy, technocracy, shadow state and better than thou ruling class and clerisy...

Trump certainly deserves plenty of fair criticism; but that he is the POTUS should be an indictment of the ruling class (and clerisy) and should cause serious introspection. Instead we have Russia! Hitler! Clown! #Resistance!


But those strict immigration laws have been poorly enforced, if at all. So the simple solution Would Have Been to enforce the existing laws. Obama did not do so and encouraged just the opposite. So now, an EO has been issued...too bad it wasn't even strict enough!


You get the stupidest leading question award
It's so obvious you should work for the NYTimes or the register guard


What a wonderfully well-written article.  This is English at its best.  Mr. Doyle is always highly entertaining and informative. Kudos!


Its disgusting to see the colonialist western bullies ( including our PM) engaging in this kind of racist denigration of a successful African statesman.  Shame.

.
BTW, WHO did not just respond slowly to the ebola outbreak, they corruptly tried to hold back quarantine measures implemented by outside countries.


The people, informed, united and organized, will never be defeated.
    The people, uninformed, uncaring, divided, and ignorant, will always be defeated. And that's the way the billionaire corporate media likes it.
  "What's good for business..."
    People disaffected, disengaged and ignorant, resign themselves to the status quo, comply with authority and buy more stuff.
  It's democracy that needs saving - from the media concentration of billionaire corporate newspapers that glory in the profits of the global economy while ignoring the needs of average working Canadians.


The guy is making a fool of himself every single day so, quite frankly, it's not inappropriate for anyone to call him out on it. Once he starts acting like a decent human being making funny comments will surely stop. Although, I'm afraid there's no hope he will see that light. At 70 years and having been a bully all his life, too late now.

"Your inquiries about this are hereby permanently rejected, and your arrogance will have us discussing if we want to have anything to do with the ADN at all. Do not reply, unless it’s to offer a sweeping apology." - Dec. 17, 2008

"How about I call a press availability...say we won’t dignify these questions and call out by name the reporters pursuing them?... Let’s at least demonstrate publicly our pride and honor that we’re not going to let this evil stand.

Now, we could go sarcastic, with a presser in which we acknowledge that Bigfoot is a member of your Cabinet who has counseled predator control and that you are really the descendant of Anastasia, who survived the execution of the czar, s family, proving that not only can you see Russia but that you’re actually from there, and that you’ve got all of Imelda Marcos’ shoes plus Michael Jackson’s white glove. And then we can ask the ADN reporter why they’re not covering session." - Dec 17, 2008


what world do you live in where you think the worst parts of British Imperialism was the food?


Insult, singular, and boy was it called for !


I find it interesting this person is more concerned that people visiting Eugene will see homeless people in the downtown area than the fact there are so many homeless people in the downtown area.  Maybe this person should stop traveling and take the money and donate it to affordable housing, counseling, drug rehab, job training....I'm embarrassed that we live in a country that does not have universal health care,  fair minimum wages, affordable housing and give tax breaks and subsidies to the wealthy corporate polluters and rapers of the Earth. I'm embarrassed at the adolescent and selfish mentality of so many adults in our country.


Because any news you don't want to believe is fake.
No wonder you like Trump.
We know the drill: Only good news about Trump is real, right?
Da, komrade!


The military's presence in these islands is both an economic pot of gold and an itchy rash that needs to be scratched.  More people on an island does not necessarily mean a healthier economy, both from the military and from the tourist trade.  I learned a long time ago that a diverse economy is the healthiest way to go.  People come here to play in the sun, surf in the ocean, and feast on the beauty of these islands.  They don't care where the sewer lines are, or if they spill our "pilau" into the ocean.


It is a fact Jack.


I'd settle for Ivanka, Donald Jr. and Eric being banished to Exile Island.

To understand the share structure takes very little time, or some quick advice from a securities person.
In short, it stinks.     Shocking that the Teachers Union (pension fund) would even consider this as an "investment".
The managing directors, and major  shareholders (preferred shares) who control the votes are all part of the Laurentian Elite.......So is the Trudeau family.
Note, every time Bombardier receives  government loans (handouts) the controlling shareholders PAY themselves a bonus. And they are doing it again.
Government bailouts are acceptable in reasonable circumstances.   Not with Bombardier.


Oh Joe we know please don't act like we don't! The native claims settlement act was the first attempt at rounding up the nomadic natives into one spot! Further along through history it was modified several times to keep natives off of lands that were of interest to the federal gov. Natives never claimed ownership of any specific lands other than a few good hunting and fishing spots that would be used seasonally.


Nowadays you can blame everything on psychiatric problems, steroids, neural malfunctions and so on. Why don't we take a hard look at the root cause? We are now more advanced than ever, but we are having more and more such problems. Why?
Why not take a more introspect way, and look at ourselves. When bad things happen, the first to do is to look at ourselves and see what we should do to avoid such results. Unfortunately it is a lot easier to blame every else and this is the easy way many people choose to take, including this article.
Tell you what, it does not matter who did wrong. If your kid goes down, it is you that suffers.


Mueller is going to love this latest revelation. He lies just like his father. Lock him up!


Ages ago there was a government funded experiment that set out to prove MJ smoking = bad driving. It backfired on them. The subjects tested better when stoned, LOL !

Actually it makes a bit of sense. They were probably using low potency MJ. I'm sure if you smoke enough it will affect anyone's driving. The good news is it wears off a lot faster than booze.


great idea, and let traffic come to a stop with thousands more trucks a day coming  back and forth to anchorage and seward.. logistical nightmare with the hwy of death as it is. not everything will be shipped by rail. no tracks to homer or kenia.


Correct - it is about making the right decision, not just the expedient or career promoting decision.  Tougher enforcement for younger offenders  just makes sense from a preventative standpoint.


nobody with more then 5 minutes market experience pays any heed to what the bloodsucker squid says  as they are probably on the other side of whatever trade they are pumping on that day.  I wish the media would stop pretending they have more then zero credibility or honesty.

If so, then she might pick up a piece of the $25M Trump was forced to pay to his "students" (and their attorneys).


That's because the era of Liberal tax  and spend Democrats is over.  The business of the US is business.  You can't tax away the wealth of the Country and give away to the less fortunate.  People have to be responsible for their own futures.  They can't look to the nanny government for hand outs.


That's what I said.


There we go: this one paragraph.
Thank you to Mr. Banks.
---
 Amone Banks, an African-American federal employee, said he didn’t mind the talk of white identity.

“Racism is a part of my life,” he said. Banks said he was there to support Trump and conservative economic policies in a time when the welfare state has expanded.

“Free speech is free speech, whether you like it or not,” he said.

This is correct: "Federal immigration law gives the president broad powers when it comes to restricting entry into the U.S. by foreigners."  Seems like that law is being completely ignored here.


Oh its got Harpers name on it... I hate to be that guy who just says its garbage because of one person associated with it... but to be quite honest, Harper never really thought anything through, and his legislation attempts were borderline vindictive, and prejudice.

No lost love for this bill... or the man who put it forth.


Yes! I, a deplorable, basement-dwelling, bucket of idiot, b@st@rdized Catholic, needy Latino, everyday American Black super predator, Muslim ne’er-do-well sand Negro, shall vote for Clinton. She shall unite us all — just like she promised at the convention!
I know that the Russians are trying to rig our elections by telling everyone how we tried to rig our elections.
It does not matter that Bill turned the White House into a brothel, lied to Congress, and was disbarred for perjury, then had to make a nearly $1,000,000 settlement. Bill is not running for president; his enabler is.
There is no story here!


"He has some evidence."

The above is a huge assumption, and given his "shoot from the lip" assertions about all sorts of other things (again, unproved) I'd say the odds are he doesn't have ANY.


Thanks for reminding us that all lives don't matter in this country. They never have. The irony is that most Americans claim to be Christians. That doesn't say much for Christians.


Can't say I'm suprised. How insecure can a self-proclaimed "billionaire-genius" be to have a fake Time cover made propping himself up? Sad!


President Trump is flying at Mach 1 with his hair on fire and the Dumbo Dems are just chugging along chanting, The Russians are coming!  Collusion! Collusion! Impeach! Impeach!  HA! HA! HA!


Title: The Trump presidency has had missteps in foreign policy

Ya think?


Munoz is a great example of how out of touch with reality the majority of our politicians really are. Any baby raping s.o.b. should be locked away for as long as the law will allow, period. There are no socially redeeming qualities within anyone who would harm a child in any way and at the top of the list is a child rapist(Jack) or someone who would facilitate the rape of a child (Hauge). What Munoz has done to the victims of these horrible crimes is nearly as bad as the crime itself in that they are being told that what happened to them does not matter, that in fact they do not matter. If it is possible for a politicrit to feel shame then Munoz should feel extremely ashamed of herself and do everyone a favor and resign (fat chance) and apologize to the victims in person (again, fat chance). There is one way to show Munoz the error of her idiotically misguided ways and that would be to vote this moron out next election. Remember the victims and help them and not the predator criminals.


Somebody on the board wrote, with a lot of voter support by readers, that it is good that there are no white male candidates because Mansbridge was a white male and he hosted the evening news for decades.

Um, hello?

By that logic, medical schools should have shut their doors to white males in, say, 1980 and not re-opened then to white males again until around 2150.

Sorry, folks, but I do not subscribe to your "punish today's younger cohort for elderly yesterday's trends" philosophy...

... indeed, your approach seems shockingly unethical...


A sick confidence game he's got goin on...all in his own words.

“We’re going to have insurance for everybody”

 “I was the first & only potential GOP candidate to state there will be no cuts to Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid”

"We have to get rid of the artificial lines around the states”

“I am going to take care of everybody … Everybody’s going to be taken care of much better than they’re taken care of now.”


That plan has a certain amount of uncertainty.


I don't always agree with Jimmy Kimmel, but he did a really good job defining the problems.  See if you can find his monologue.


This president has a sense of reality that emotionally healthy people find strange.  When advisors leave it is his decision to disband it.  When his people disagree with him he fires them.  When he says dumb things he justifies them and never ever ever says he's wrong or sorry.  He holds himself to bizarre standards that reflect an underlying character disorder.  He cannot change.  He cannot listen to his advisors.  And he cannot govern effectively.  This should be of no surprise to anyone as he couldn't manage his businesses effectively having declared bankruptcy four times, at least.  That he has supporters is beyond me.


"....And the coming referendum efforts will have a high probability of success...."

 baloney.. any referendum will die on the vine when people realize we are back on an even keel with enough revenue to care for our young and needed infrastructure, and the knowledge education and public safety will be fully funded, and the added bonus that dividends can grow again possibly, and we WON`T be wasting our savings anymore subsidizing your patrons in the Conoco caucus Helgason.  Dream on.


So redistribution of wealth is them considered equality under the law?


Not sure there's much to be proud of in being welcomed by the king of a hereditary kleptocracy that holds public beheadings, denies civil rights to women, provides clandestine financial support to terrorist organizations, and spends hundreds of billions of dollars exporting its extremist Wahabi form of Islam around the world.


She looked fine, when she was at a recent formal function.

Princess Abigail never really says very much, in general, as long as I have seen & known her.


Once again, when Donald "FM" Trump can make the wrong decision, he will.


How is that bad news? Unless of course an investor (or trader I should say) gave up on BCE and sold it before the rally. Would anyone make such an obvious mistake?

And it is not good news (for me anyway) that ENB is up in price, as I have explained so many times before. I prefer my income to rise more rather than rise less....not that difficult a concept for most to understand.


Do not worry he is.


The dead horse on this subject has been picked up and put down so many times.  Give it a rest,  GREED WON as always, lets move on to another dead horse where nothing will change, NEXT PLEASE!!!


And you are racist for not caring about Black Flights! Oh yeah, and a bigot to boot. Have I covered everything?


Thank you.  Hartford is 38.4 miles north and inland from New Haven, home of Yale University.  Travel time is 1 hour 8 minutes  .  The Women’s basketball team at the University of Connecticut is in Storrs, east of Harford, 37 minutes and 24.4 miles away.


I'm sorry you are not knowledgeable about the political history of United States' interference in foreign countries/governments...it's "why they hate us"...

And, so glad to know you are also in the dark about the 50,000 Irish who are currently in our country illegally...


Then don't end up in prison.


I'm pretty glad you don't as well, buddy.


"To (sic) bad your "problems" are legal rights guaranteed by the Constitution."

Didn't you even read the headline?
