I'm honored. Now I'm a "who's who". A luminary of the fascist faction of Anchorage.

I want to take this opportunity to thank my high school teachers, my college professors, members of our community, our current mayor, and of course you "No, you're wrong". Without whom I never could have reached the pinnacle of our jack booted, goose stepping culture. Thank you.


Chief Justice John Roberts cited the constitution too, when he voted to uphold the ACA, twice!


I don't know what you would accomplish questioning Hillary when she and Bill are pathological liars.  They simply cannot tell the truth about any subject matter.  Remember, Bill was disbarred for not telling the truth.


A sad day - it was likely the last chance.


Everyone who signs up for military service knows that it could place them in harm’s way with the possible loss of live or limbs, but like Sgt. La David Johnson, they still do it making them true American patriots.  I hope my comment did not offend anyone.


It's all about vision and leadership. China is now working on a global power grid first thought up by Japanese tycoon, Masayoshi Son. The Global Energy Interconnection Development and Cooperation proposal (GEIDCO) is that national power grids will be linked by ultra high voltage lines. Wind farms at the North Pole and solar farms at the equator will generate power that will be sent worldwide. It will cost around 50 trillion dollars and be finished by 2050.

If Donald Trump wants to pull out of the Paris Accord, then so be it. Then let America not benefit from GEIDCO or any environmental initiative.


You can "bill" all you want, but people without money can't and won't pay. Try to get in touch with reality.


Including those on the Union take, Gara, Gardner, Wielechowski.. Etc.


I am going to guess that the FNN (First Nations Network-previously known as the CBC) will continue to rotate the position instead of selecting one person.


The UN will not do anything because it is ineffectual and Canada can't do anything for the same reason.


Alaska Airlines website says unaccompanied minor service is required ages 5-12 and optional for ages 13-17


Now that the story comes out on KTUU we find that the victim left his house against his dad's wishes and walks down the street to meet two guys.  The dad follows at a distance and see's the shooter ( s ) tell the kid to lay on the ground as they frisk him. Then they shoot the kid and then shoot at the dad .   Nothing good happens at night in Anchorage.  If they catch these guys , it sounds like Anchorage will be a little better off. Though the shame is that due to our diversity there will be two more thugs to take these guys place.  Today's generation has no respect for life . Perhaps I'm wrong about abortion--we need way more of it than none of it.  Who's next in the shooting gallery called Anchorage ?


And so - Trump and other Americans lied to Trudeau and Canada. The very basis of negotiations is - trust. Well, that's gone. And perhaps that was their intention.


Comey is a card carrying Republican. Duh....go study.


Didn't know much about the problem with refugees in Australia. Had to do a bit of searching. Good on Australia.  I hope we do the same here in Canada. Thankfully we have a massive ocean so those shotty boats can't make it over here. Unfortunately we have a PM who will fly them here at our expense. Our expense when we, financially,  shouldn't have any to spare.

You call it scare mongering. Maybe it is. I'd love to see you in the centre of one of these riots and by your account you should not be scared. I can only assume your a woman. I'd only assume they'd show you the nice game they play called  Tahharush. I think maybe then you'd have the intelligence to see how delightful the Muslim refugees really are. These riots happen everywhere they go. Certainly not limited to Australia.

the next logical step would be to ban the parade. The LCTB is now accepted in the community so there is no further need to flaunt your lifestyle.


What is it with people thinking a vacation or two (or even ten) allows them to experience what daily life is actually like for Cubans?


They were not involved in the fighting.


The UO is a public university, and Shurtz is therefore a public employee, whose behavior even outside of work, if it affects her workplace, can be subject to employment law. Social media postings outside of work are one example of this.

Here's another way to look at this... Do you see minorities doing anything comparable to blackface? Do you see, for example, African Americans using "white-face" or something similar to disparage or in other ways make a political statement about whites? I've not read any reports about such a phenomenon.

The lesson is not about staying white or staying another color. It is about white people, especially in 2016, just accepting the fact that blackface is not appropriate, ever. Not at a private home party, not at a public event, not ever. For people who continue to insist that blackface is only racist if it is used in a certain context are engaging in intellectual dishonesty and deliberately ignoring the very real history of blackface in U.S. history.


HOMER please post something. Everyone is getting tired of you disagreeing yet not voicing your opinion, you coward! Time for you to come out of the closet homer! LOL


LSD over-rides everything else you put in your body. When you're tripping hard, other drugs have little to no affect. No affect till you're coming down.
And, enough potent pot can have the similar hallucinogenic affect. You people!?


Well, you must know that women have been deacons in the past and the Church has the authority to ordain them as deacons again. Keys to the kingdom...


There is no credible proposal for Geothermal in BC. It's a theoretical power source at this point. Even their lobby group admits that. In fact, the only large scale Geothermal project in BC failed miserably.

As Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe in blood transfusions, could a Jehovah's Witnesses's business refuse to provide insurance that  covers blood transfusions?

James Mason 771: google "women firefighters sexual harassment" and you will see dozens of cases across the nation. You can also read academic articles that document the problem.


I like your writing Eric, you make a strong advocate!  But lately you have been more harsh.   The Presidents petulant insults have lowered the standard of public conversation.    I'd just encourage you not get trapped in the mud slinging.

I'm no angel and have a few burrs get under my saddle as well.   It's not popular in this age of just throwing up emotional garbage, but I believe the work gets done with rational conversation(which can and should include passionate commitment by people of different opinions).

There is no one right way to see life that's common to everybody


You realize that most of the council was also on Harper's Economic council right?  I.e., it's not a partisan group?


Can't drive on roads covered in trees, landslides, sinkholes.

You hit the nail on the head, "Take the oil credits, not the Permanent Fund." It couldn't be any simpler. Well said.


A Catholic site might not be the best place to argue against environmental issues. As for the plan itself, it spurs a lot of development in clean power and there are far more people working in clean power than the coal industry. It also attempts to remedy a host of other problems associated with fossil fuels. Basically, Trump is trying to pour perfume on a pig, the pig being fossil fuels. It may not smell like a pig but it's still a pig.

Meanwhile, we've just completed a new $1.85 billion project adding new 345 kV power lines to bring the energy being created by our new wind plants to market. All part of the development spurred by the plan you mention. Those a jobs too...


So the perpetrator was "known to police".  I strongly suspect that we will soon learn that he has a criminal record and should either have been behind bars or deported.


Donna Leong's greatest accomplishments as Corporation Counsel include bullying the ethics director out of office, trampling the rights and personal property of homeless people and needlessly racking up attorney fees for taxpayers.


No, it's because Trump jr. didn't report the meeting, as required by law.
Then he reported it when the press reported it, but he claimed the were discussing Russian adoption.
Then when the press reported the real reason for the meeting Trump jr. changed his story again.
The repeated lies and revisions show a pattern of lies and evasion...


Why would I explain anything Trump does?  There's nothing in my comments that indicates I'm a Trump supporter.  You really should check your assumptions.


And the bias continues to show through and through, does it not?

Rather than instituting their own biased opinions throughout the article, perhaps they could simply actually cover the entire speech, and let the populace decide whether they like it or not.....

Just sayin'

Good. We need to hold those responsible when they pollute our great state.


We resist.  We stand up, We speak out.  We will not stop until he is gone.


Thank you, Angelica, for an excellent commentary.  Some of us forget that each generation faces its own challenges, in its own way. May I add one thought? When I read the sentence "However, these stereotypes contrast with the way Gen Zers perceive themselves," I thought I could insert "any generation" for "Gen Zers" because no matter who we are, we struggle to make people see the real person, not just who they think we are. Please keep writing. The world needs good thinkers who can express themselves.

It`s not a raid on the fund if his plan include keeping it healthy with some form of inflation proofing to keep the "draw" off the earnings each year as level as possible, getting us away from the boom and bust fiscal cycles because we were talked into a net tax and not a tax on the gross.  Fixing the 5% base as the governor seeks will keep at least a minimum severance value for our finite remaining quality light oil.  If we tax them like Jay Hammond advised us to, they will pay it. They (the slope cartel) are not going anywhere.

bingo.  Their predictions have been worse than pathetic, they are best ignored


yikes!


They ARE fools!  No piece of legislation will appease, please, satisfy ALL those writing it.  Rand Paul, Murkowski, Capito, and Collins are NOT Republicans, they are RINO's and should have never been on the GOP ticket.  McCain is an addled old man, with a grudge against Trump, and played that grudge, instead of helping the people of his state, where premiums are up 116%~!  McConnell and Ryan are NOT strong leaders, or leaders at all, it's time for change, it's time for what 'we the people' voted for, REAL CHANGE!


I agree with previous comments that to take this sum of money is impossible. Even if I get this money it won’t be enough to renovate kitchen or other parts or apartment. I have renovated my apartment and hire worker for doing that http://servicewhale.com/ . It saves my time for working and paying for repair. But even if I did it by myself it could cost more than $1000.


Some people use debit because they have poor self-control with credit.


At least some sanity prevailed and Merkel won. The "Jamaica" coalition sounds like the best bet to me if the SDP really refuses to continue to support Merkel. The far right getting into Parliament with 13.5% of the vote is scary, hopefully they'll get booted next time around. Merkel remains the best leader in Europe.


'wolves do not normally kill just to kill.'
that is true.
on the other hand, there are untold numbers of humans who do kill for the fun of it.
they shoot wolves from airplanes and bears at bait stations and strangle cubs in their dens, all the while claiming that they are providing a desperately needed service.

dealing death is what it's all about.

killing stuff.

those lofty claims about 'managing' game populations and how the killers pay for said 'management' are  nothing more than lame justifications and excuses for limbic barbarism.


Perhaps your right but I never saw them here. It appears they buried it quickly and the only story regarding her stunt I've been able to access in the Post's latest news section or nation and international section, after clicking "load more" 4 times, was after her weak apology.


Thank you for bringing this up, Choon.  The proposal contains two parts.  O&M should be consolidated under one agency or department in order to be effective and efficient.  This proposal also creates a rate commission and deletes the transportation commission.

The second part gives the HART board me control and authority.  For example, it would allow them to issue revenue bonds with the approval of council.  Voters should read and understand this proposal before voting on it.

The proposal is available at http://www.honoluluchartercommission.org/images/approved.

The ballot question, which does not adequately describe the changes in my opinion, is available at http://www.honoluluchartercommission.org/images/meetings/ballot/Proposal_076A_Ballot_Q.pdf.

The commission's next meetings are 3:30 p.m. Tuesday and 2:15 p.m. Thursday.


The troopers are the last bastion of law outside of the grid. We're losing too many kids to heroine. And by the way the trooper mortality is on the rise. Don't let the bad guys win, keep the stations and let them do the job the DPS originally outlined for the state. It could be your kid the skum bag is after.


No, he didn't. There were non-violent protesters that wanted statues kept for historical reasons, or protests such as these would have taken place long ago when it was fresher in people's mind. Your kind of rhetoric is one reason there is a twisted. divide in our nation. You twist the facts.


I'm excited by the prospect of a more civil discourse.  I would be one of the silent readers who has never bothered to comment because of the general nastiness of the comments.  Fingers crossed.


also if I remember nerobama raised the inheritance tax to 50%  that was the last I heard 2 or 3 years ago that I know of.


You have got that wrong as usual. Self-righteousness is sinning and thinking or trying to persuade people that one is not sinning.


The title of this article could be a repeat of GCI's fiber to the bush revolution articles from 2010.  GCI received massive federal grants to bring high speed Internet to the bush.  Back then GCI told us these faster Internet speeds were a game changer.  Faster web access was going to solve all economic and social woes of the bush.  Well, guess what?  It didn't.  It didn't change the bush back then.  It won't change the bush this time either.


The night crew's censorship mode continues to love Hillary.  Boozer Schmidt has discovered that.  Night crew and weekend crew (Interns?) are the only ones who have banned any of my posts and have hit several of his that I have seen and found not to be objectionable.

Just another day at the office.


70% of Canadians are against this.
100% of G&M articles are for this.

The G&M is a tool of the progressive movement.


There is no reason for most of these villages to exist period. The majority of villages contribute nothing towards the state's economy but instead siphon away a disproportionately sized amount off the budget for their size. Just because people decided to permanently settle in their seasonal hunting and fishing camps doesn't mean it was a good idea. The state can't afford to keep building and maintaining all these schools in remote locations with student populations hovering around 10 people. What is the point of it anyway? There are no jobs in the villages so no future for the kids being schooled there. It's time to stop the madness and quite throwing money away into the remote bush communities.


I may be wrong here, but last time I checked 49.9999% is less than 50% + 1, the absolute minimum for a majority, therefor a minority. So please tell me where the wishes of the majority were ignored.


Maybe you had your tongue in cheek and if so, you have my apologies. If not, perhaps you missed the part that said CBC selected the 10 people and arranged for individual interviews. You can bet that selection process was shall I say, very selective?


I am looking forward to the first meeting between trump and our boy with the perfect hair and smile who reproves that beauty is skin deep every time he opens his mouth.  Something tells me that it may not be the love in that he, his wife and half of Ottawa enjoyed after his election.


you are one sick puppy there...getting all inspired again because a Russian predicted a new war! How caring, sharing and inclusive of you! ugh


Fahrenheit 451. NO NO NO! Internet service is ESSENTIAL to people nowadays. I believe it should be free and nationalized. I used the services myself and absolutely needed to to hit a deadline. A very important deadline for my health and well-being. The legislators just don't get it and will have to go. Governor Walker, veto this forthwith!


I would be far more excited about this voyage if it was a ship full of research scientists -- biochemists, marine biologists, oceanographers, etc. -- instead of rich tourists.


It's probably due to our newest industry:  cannabis cultivation.  There is so much money to be made in marijuana that a lot of young people have stopped looking for traditional jobs and probably aren't that interested in unemployment benefits.  There is a lot of money to be made trimming buds and it's a job you can do at home in your spare time.  Marijuana, IMHO, is also the reason that Oregon has become the most moved to state in America.  Marijuana, legal and black market, will stimulate a lot of local spending.


A venn diagram would help explain. Lots of people are  Agnostic Atheists. Probably are some Catholic Protestants and Protestant Catholics as well.


Parents get to choose who babysits, period.


Perhaps Ryan should do some research on the "Electoral College" as a system to elect the President.  We don't elect our President by mob rule, or popularity contests.  In fact, we need to repeal the 17th Amendment.  The Senate is supposed to be compose of Senators APPOINTED by the state legislatures.  The Senate was meant to represent the STATES interests before the Federal government.  The HOUSE is composed of Representatives elected by the PEOPLE.  The electoral college, composed of electors numbering the total of Representatives + 2 senators for each state, elect the president.  If one sits back, and assumes she is "entitled" to the position, and fails to campaign for the electoral vote (which is what she did), she deserved to lose.  Her mental state is evident with her current blame game.  The craziest can sound very sane and competent indeed!  (And she was more involved with things "Russia" than anyone else in that campaign!)


I would argue that once pensions are taken into account, some doctors already do earn the same or less than teachers or RNs.


It is all irrelevant as long as they contribute to the Liberal Party and vote Liberal.


I would hardly call golf an elitist game in Canada. Play at any public course this summer - including the Don valley course in the center of Toronto, with affordable green fees - you are more likely to run into teachers enjoying  their summer off, college students, broader public service employees -active and retired - and the ubiquitous Korean golf addicts taking a day off from their convenience stores.


I'm so sorry to learn of your loss. May God hold you in the palm of His hand.


And the braying morons at BoC will use this as an excuse to raise interest rates again, because they're incapable of comprehending simple statistics.

Somehow one quarter of increased inflation equals a huge trend to them.

QuietAndEffective, White supremacists have killed more people in acts of terrorism in the U.S. than immigrants from the 6 countries named in the travel ban.  Your priorities are misplaced.


The NFL players are employees of their respective NFL teams.  In most private sector employment, the owners set the work-place rules, and employees who violate those rules are subject to discipline up to and including termination.  Why should these NFL players be treated differently?


You shouldn't talk about the good professor like that......


Demboski, a hater, was elected by folks just like her.


While the topic of climate change is important and will not disappear because of a new administration in Washington, climate change hysterics should remember that it is far more likely that mankind will self annihilate due to terrorism, war or socio economic collapse over the next century or two. Even a meteor strike is more likely than man made climate change disaster. Better to deal with reality rather than speculative scientific theory.


Apparently not if one were to look at what universities are doing these days.

The whole thesis of this article is flawed, because it does not account for the fact that there should not even be talk about integration this and integration that.  There should be more talk about protecting Europe's distinct native populations from the danger of meeting the same fate as the Native Americans did as a result of a massive influx of colonists.  Everyone is forgetting to mention that in Europe, Europeans are the native indigenous population.  Aside from that, I'd have to say that thus far all evidence shows that UK and France got it all wrong and Hungary, Slovakia and Poland got it right.  After all, how many attacks in those countries this century?  I for one will never again visit Western Europe.  I was in Eastern Europe last summer and felt glad to be behind the old iron curtain.  The only thing I regretted was transiting through Amsterdam with my family.  There was a terror alert at the airport the day after.  Who needs that?


This is cover up from the judiciary and FBI . So why they don't want to release of those document  and so the people knows if is true what  CHRISTOPER STEELE accusation to the PRESIDENT TRUMP before it's true . And yet now they are investigating the president with this RUSSIAN COLLUSION , Why did COMEY and the Democrat people ACCUSED PRESIDENT HAD AFFAIR OF THE WOMAN IN RUSSIA. AND YET NO IVEDENCE ABOUT IT . And the F.B.I don't want to tell us the truth . So no wonder those democrat they want SESSION  TO STEP ASIDE BECAUSE HE WILL OBJECT THIS ACCUSITION . COMEY IS THE BRAIN IN THIS RUSSIAN INVISTIGATION . AND SISSION IS OUT. THIS SECOND MAN OF SISSION IS DUMP AND STUPID TOO . That he got manipulated with the DEMOCRAT PEOPLE . Why he hired MULLER that he was the same with COMEY . Now the PRESIDENT TRUMP HAD NO PEOPLE HE CAN TRUST ANYMORE. THAT PERSON WHO REPLACE COMEY . WHY ALL THIS PEOPLE THAT PRESIDENT HIRED ARE ALL NOT FOR HIM TO HELP HIM. THE JUDICIARY  PEOPLE JUST WANT THE TRUTH .


I realize mom probably had no duty to call the police after her son killed this poor guy but it sure would be nice if she spent some time looking out between the bars.  Definite candidate for the mother of the year award!


Lie.  This was not true in Boston or in Washington DC.


A problem is that too many of Canadian news outlets are mouthpieces for one side of the political spectrum - Liberal, Left.

They long ago, unfortunately, abdicated their role as purveyors of balanced, thoughtful news coverage and are now agenda-driven indoctrination agents.

In this column the New York Times and Washington Post are mentioned but both are very much one-sided in their coverage (pro-Democratic party and virulently anti-Trump without giving his side of the story).


Even pawns know when they are in a bad position on the board, and move. It must be nice to imagine there's a suspended human pinata you can continually hit for more and more money.


If there were a WF close to me, I'd shop there now and then. They have great produce. TJs is hit or miss. Maybe in my perfect world, I could walk to WF, TJs and Sprouts.

Watch out for chemical company shills like lorie farrel and joni kamiya who are paid to lie by the chemical companies.


BS article written with BS statistics and trying to apply Muslim and Jewish failed marriages to a Christian-background nation which historically supports younger marriages. You people have fallen far indeed to try and destroy the sanctity of marriage and how God designed it, and convince people to "wait" until they are biologically spinsters to have families, children, and happiness in the home. Not surprising that there's zero comments on this either. Left-leaning "news" posts love to censor out any opposing views to their insanity.


So 100 more people will lose their jobs so some psychopath can watch his name creep up the Forbes richest people list.

And people wonder why Brexit and Trump happened.  Our leaders are failing us so we strike back the only way we can.


IMHO the some of the biggest need in reductions seems to be the amounts the state spends on private consultants, outside attorneys, membership fees to organizations that provide free trips for legislators, a daily living expense for legislators lining at home, a legislative office in Anchorage, continued extended or special sessions, allowing unincorporated areas to pay no local support for police and education.


It will be wonderful. Strolling along the banks of Cherry Creek in the evening with a glass of wine, soft music and a stinking smoky joint.


Completely different than Hitler. Hitler hated Jews and wanted to kill them.

 The residential schools were set up to train the indigenous community to become good British citizens with a modern education, They did not understand the negative consequences of residential school at the time.

Its hard to judge people in the past with modern ethics. At one time even slavery was considered acceptable.


A religious case can be made for just about any sort of inhumanity to man. In the distant past, the Confederacy used biblical passages to support slavery. Their motto was "with God our vindicator".   Up until very recently there were laws on the books in most states against "race mixing" placed into effect by Christians who had been informed by the bible.  This particular matter adds credence to the argument put forth by  Christopher Hitchens that  "religion poisons everything" even cakes.


The Liberal government will have  the loss of any future contracts and likely 1,000+ jobs on its record  if it screws up this relationship with the Saudis.   For the faint of heart out there, you can't produce guns, bullets, other forms of armaments and armoured vehicles and then continuously monitor and be responsible for the actions of your customers.   This is the world, not La La land.


So, if I wrote a book about my experiences as a police officer and indicated that I had testified in numerous trials over a period of 26 years...you'd ask me who paid for the book?  The good Dr. is a forensic expert in his field.  For courts to take his testimony, he has to provide evidence of his expertise.... Or, do you look upon ANY forensic expert with jaundiced eye?


Especially when the accused is clergy!

Why does my former political party love crime so much?  Against my original will I've discovered that my former party's crime-ridden government of CA, absolutely loves more rape, more murder, more drugs crimes, more street thuggery, all of which engenders more 'government employees', such to deal with these 'problems', and screw the victims!  More crime is a guaranteed government employee-generator!  So, Denver's city government seems to love more crime in it's libraries, but, is so embarrassed by their love of crime, that they actually use their police to bring their drugger friends' crimes down a few notches!


Hi Glenn.
I am sorry to confuse you.  You jumped so quickly to say something negative about my comment I think you missed the meaning of some of the words.  I like Tulsi because she comes from a cosmopolitan background.  See, my comment was about Tulsi.  You conflated this comment with the population of Syria.

Syria before the uprising was a "multi-culturally tolerant" society ruled by an Assad family dynasty.  It was not a particularly "cosmopolitan" society, but it was tolerant of other religions, including Jews and Christians.

Just as a point of reference, if you continue to rudely reply (Mr/Mrs/robot Alohapolitics, ) with sarcasm and plain insults as you did I will not reply to you further.

Aloha


illegal border-hopping migrants are complaining about questioning?  Monty Python would have had a field day with such lunacy LOL


Of course jenkins is once again 100% correct. There is a reason they are called " right" wingers.


Oh, Apartheid, in other words. A light unto the nations.


Why do people here have a problem with honking while driving? I grew up here... I honk if people are sitting at a green light or stopping in the middle of the road because they are lost. (Pull over and figure out where you are going.) Every so often when I discover I was not paying attention and the light turned green and no one honked I wonder why, and would have appreciated a little notification... It happens. It's not a "fuck you," it's just to say "hey, earth to driver, let's get going."


I've seen those people! They even say they are camping. What they are really doing is  parking.


While this is great news, I'm a little humored at the reporting on it that went from possible broken ankle, to high ankle sprain, to bone bruise and now described as just "a lower-leg bruise"... that's some fancy diagnosing right there! It's all good though, as long as the diagnosis/description keeps getting better and not worse. Don't over push it Garrett and come back strong when healthy. Amazing turn of events!


Lets take a look at history on Hawaii’s bottomfish. In the 1950s and 60s fishermen caught twice as much bottomfish per boat compared to today. This is to be expected when a population decline occurs.

What most fail to recognize are the technological advancements that make today’s fishermen efficient fishing machines that should be capable of quadrupling or better the catches of the 50s and 60s. So why are today’s fishermen catching half of what was caught with primitive gear?

It will be nice to see some expensive video of isolated areas of abundance that US fisheries managers will use to justify the status quo. No offense towards Americans, but it’s no secret that money drives resource management decisions wherever the United States has control.


In peak seasons you will get expensive air tickets. But to get cheap air tickets even in festive season, choose online travel agency like Voyages Booth.


The math and patient-treatment ratios that are needed to make some of the required formulas work for the insurance companies don't exist here in Alaska due to our small population.


Liberals in Government encourage people to stop trying and live off the govt. Then they become and stay Democrat voters. Problem is it's back firing on them and they liberal politicians are lost in space.


Yep. Go be cannon fodder due to being born poor. You are a piece of real sad humanity.


Malama Chun is right on both counts, which may be obvious to most people in Hawaii. Less obvious is a destructive pattern, whereby commercial fishing gets special dispensation. OF NOTE: the Hawaii AG is not elected but appointed, part of the Executive Branch. Gov Ige made great pomp over Hawaii's support for the Paris Climate Accord but his AG ducks behind a technicality with ocean health at stake. The AG showed media courage standing up to Trump, but defers here to "the powers that be." What's the betting line in Vegas that someone affilliated with WESPAC weighed in with someone in Hawaii state government? Technicality and sleight of hand bear down on Hawaii marine species and habitat, in the best interests of WESPAC and The Nature Conservancy, where "eco-based management" should read MAXIMUM COMMERCIAL EXTRACTION BEHIND GREEN SMOKE. The paddle is broken, and so is the rudder. Enough of technical humbug. It's time for pono management, for leadership and political will.


Re-Post until it stays.  That's my system.  Illigitimi non carborundum!


A deeply cynical bunch.


Higher taxes are the solution to every problem, according to the Liberals. Asteroid about to hit the Earth? Raise taxes! Maple Leafs didn't make the playoffs? Raise taxes.

You want to stop the destruction of the planet by humans? The only real solution is to have fewer humans. Slow down the procreation. And the humans who are left should be vegetarian.

Short of that, nothing else will work.


I'll take the bait .  Yes we should.  If you live in America you should be able to speak English . I'm offended when in my own country I'm asked this question . Just as I was offended when Jeb Bush did commercials for president of  the United States in Spanish .


Quinn is the perfect example of the decline of the CBC. Parroting US news with fluff has become the de facto news story out of CBC.
.
I used to be a big CBC supporter but not anymore. Most of it is lazy garbage like this article or really bad content out of Toronto.
.
At this point I say save the billion and reduce CBC back to radio (minus Quinn).


Murder is murder unless you're talking about abortion, of course...


I dislike Hillary; Hillary is a woman; therefore I must hate women.  It's just logic!


It's awful. A beloved cousin of mine died last Winter, leaving a husband and daughter who are also struggling.  And even so, I've got to note the recent shift in tone with respect to drug abuse. In the '80s and '90s it was all about the moral depravity of those caught up in the crack crisis. I don't recall there being much attention paid to the economic and social struggles of those afflicted. Instead, we changed our laws so we could charge and sentence mentally retarded children as adults, built prisons for profit, and militarized the policing of suffering neighborhoods.

I'm glad there's a general will to see people caught up in opioid addiction as human beings. But I am saddened to think that they are being extended that consideration primarily because so many of them are White (USA Today reports it at 90%) I will celebrate more heartily when that  same compassion and sense societal responsibility is brought to bear on  problems afflicting communities of color.


Trump ought to be careful about what he wishes for; every time he gets what he wants, his situation deteriorates. Susan Rice is part of the mix now. At some point she will testify under oath. Trump will wish that she had not.
US intelligence agencies were investigating the attempt by Russia to interfere with the American election. In the course of her duties, Rice learns that there is evidence of the involvement of American citizens. She rightly wants to know who they were, and consistent with procedure, she asks intelligence officers to "unmask" them, i.e., to tell her who they are. (She does not unmask them herself, nor does she 'leak' the names.) Some of the named individuals turn out be members of, or connected to, the Trump campaign. What were they up to? Stay tuned.
I think Obama will be criticized for not pursuing the Trump-Russia nexus vigorously enough. He didn't want to be accused of partisanship; he thought Trump would lose; he thought he could leave the mess for Clinton.


ya I know, no thanks to the UK or anything. Where would India be today? fractured in 100 pieces and constant infighting between each of the cultures.


Who's going to pay this $40-$50 million for this project when it's all said and done? All the homeless people, the 50% who pay no taxes at all,  how about taxing every UO college student $100 /  quarter,  or increase our EWEB bills  and call it a revenue enhancement.


With the same success refugees could be stopped at the border before they cross because there is no exact demarcation line to what I hear. I hope this revolving door at the border will backfire the Liberals.


Great article! Wealthsimple keeps telling everyone they have more than a billion dollars in assets under management, however they ALWAYS fail to mention the average size of each account and how much it costs to service all those (I suspect, small) accounts. Unlike BMO SmartFolio, Wealthsimple doesn't charge a minimum amount to open an account. Having to spend large amounts of money on digital marketing and lacking real estate like the big banks, I think Nest Wealth realized how hard it is to onboard new clients and the prohibitive cost of maintaining small accounts, hence the birth of Nest Wealth Pro. I can almost guarantee you that Wealthsimple will soon follow suit. Their brand awareness is very strong and most aging investors living on fixed income can't afford to pay tens of thousands of dollars in annual management fees.


So, the Harper government proposed uncovered faces during ONLY a Citizenship oath, and Justin Trudeau said this was "politics of fear" blah blah blah.
Quebec PASSES a law which says faces can't be covered in so many other instances and Justin Trudeau says, well, nothing really.

You'd think there was a by-election or something......

Je suis Bill62


IF the protests get  out of hand, the concern, fear, is that the authorities would violently react.  As far as I know, neither happened.  Some of the veterans are at Standing Rock to teach non-violent civil disobedience, and to be the honest broker between government and the protesters.

Please don't provoke, escalate hostilities through your words.


Raise your hands if you actually went to the WikiLeaks website and read any of the (supposedly hacked) e-mails posted there.

If a tree falls in the forest and no one listens, does it actually make a sound?

If e-mails are posted on a website and no voters read them, do they actually influence an election?


Quelle surprise, eh?  I mention the level of outrage in the opposition also.


Solution: Disconnect health care from employment and pay employees a large percentage of the savings. Then that employee can choose what level of health insurance he gets--just like when buying auto insurance. You don't want collision insurance, you don't have to buy it. Not yet anyway unless Pelosi and Obama force us to buy it.


Great prevention program. I was diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes and put on Metformin on June 26th, 2016. I started the ADA diet and followed it 100% for a few weeks and could not get my blood sugar to go below 140. Finally i began to panic and called my doctor, he told me to get used to it. He said I would be on metformin my whole life and eventually insulin. At that point i knew something wasn't right and began to do a lot of research. Then I found Lisa’s diabetes story (google " HOW EVER I FREED MYSELF FROM THE DIABETES " ) I read that article from end to end because everything the writer was saying made absolute sense. I started the diet that day and the next morning my blood sugar was down to 100 and now i have a fasting blood sugar between Mid 70's and the 80's.


HI Jeet09:
I used the libraries for quiet study areas back in the day.The college where I just retired from set up separate quiet rooms all on their own along with computer terminals for folks with limited access in effect minimizing the library.
I go to the Toronto Reference Library for Arthur Conan Doyle Collection and spend hours there(love SH).
Ah,there's the rub, that is why I said "morph"so subtle changes would keep it current and not turn into a "Blockbuster".


Fair enough, and I would like to see that kind of transparency from the KofC paid leadership.  I suspect both of us will be waiting quite awhile before NCR feels compelled to match the transparency of the KofC leadership.


Whether tax policy, electoral reform, budget deficts, carbon taxes, defence procurement, Haitians flooding across the border, etc., etc., and now immigration ....

Trudeau's gov't has not produced a single, successful file, not one. Well, maybe staying on good tterms with Trump, let's give Justin that one.


When your on the machines you can't worry about the little things.


Why should anyone support the kids, they have a working father according to the article.


What about forgiveness. Can someone out there say they have never ever done something stupid?
I will ask the African american community and anyone else offended by her lack of judgment to meet with this person and make it a teaching event and show how we can come together and forgive! Let's show our next generations that we can work things out by dialogue and kindness.

Forgiveness!

I for one am very offended by all this but can find in my heart to forgive her.

Would you?


Eloisa, is it not that the name "Reuben" is Jewish which is far different that Ruben, a Spanish name.
I believe that it is a common mistake by those who have little knowledge of people outside White society to mistake Ruben a Spanish name for "Reuben" a Jewish name.
The tenor of you comment, Eloisa, that  you inserted  in my discussion with Brett seems to me comes from racial discrimination - "are you taking a class in high school" - meaning an uneducated Jew.


Yes as a business we make a small amount of profit but that is pale in comparison in to how much the patients are helped by being able to have untaxed access to medical marijuana


ANNOUNCERS WANTED: Huson and Goodman got into a debate over whether pitchers should be MVPs (don't know where it came from) and missed the final two batters of the inning. ROOT/ATT even turned on booth camera to watch Huson look so intently at Goodman, like no one had ever had this conversation before, or like this was the healthcare debate. Call the game, boys, leave cameras trained on the play. Please, Rockies management, take a hard look at these guys after the season.


Anything can happen, I guess.


BF:  Rrminds me of when Reid and Pelosi coerced Begich to vote for the ACA before he had ever read it!  History shows Democrats value elitists and contributors more than the rest of the citizenry.


You forgot to thank the overseer and slave catchers.


Maimane shot from the hip on reading the Tweet, did not engage brain and clearly too has personal animosity regarding Helen Zille.


Since the guy was on the other side of the street, how do you know he was even tailing them? I have to say, you sound like a busybody. Maybe he was doing nothing at all and simply ducked into a side street because he felt threatened by you? Certainly that's what I would do if a strange car started following me down the street at night!


Good and accurate post Jeff and look at the like buttons people have pushed for you. A landslide.

Of course the dislike are only a few lead by their exhaled leader PHTest. No worries there, that dumbo wouldn't get on a plane unless it had 2 left wings!


Yes humans or inhuman people are the problem.Get out of bear country if you don't like wildlife. Trophy hunters are sick.  Bears need a place from human. Wildlife officials need another job somewhere else.  Money needs to stop changing hands.


That's fine, but who then provides the services people want and expect? The state of AK provides far more services than other states because there are so few counties/boroughs and incorporated cities. I'd love to hear you plan of who and what gets cut.


There's a lot of people willing to make 100k for any of these jobs. They would take those jobs with head up, not sticking there nose in the air. These administrators don't have good test scores. Lower taxes get rid of them!


Russia was Hitler's ally and invaded Poland and western Ukraine!
No country sacrificed more of their "own" people than Russia---- those that weren't killed by the Germans had to be killed by the Russians themselves--Sure saved Stalin from having to starve or shoot them all himself!


You may want to check the scientific literature before you disparage Doppelt.

"Hot temperatures increase aggression by directly increasing feelings of hostility and indirectly increasing aggressive thoughts. Results show that global warming trends may well increase violent-crime rates." While no one can say that event A was caused by temperature B, the statistical correlation is very strong.

Canadian universities are overrated.

Steve Jobs and Richard Branson didn't need no stinkin' university.

We should cut out well over half the universities across this country, and focus future education on teaching young persons marketable skills (like How to Blog 101.)

The high level of intelligence and debate displayed on the threads of this very paper are quite indicative of what a degree from any Canadian university degree will do for a person.


How much of this lawyer money goes for illegal aliens?


These three, if sticking to their commitments will definitely filled more seats at Aloha with `okoles.


I thought post of the day was the earlier one that called you an ass.


Ha-ha.  Your legislackeys are doing fine for you, driving the state to hell in a handcart.  Alaskan oil is worthless at $40/bbl. and best left in the ground not ruining the climate: if it doesn't fill the state treasury I have no use for  your product. But, what do you care living in Florida?


By "pedestrian" QB what do you mean?  Those throws on tight coverage downfield is what a legit QB does.  Last year at Autzen he shredded our defense and threw on the run two TD just like the TD on the run Saturday.  We were lucky the pick wasn't another TD


Why do career politicians  like Chin always begin with the God-like presumption Americans must prove a right to preserve our identity as the world's first People to be defined by our common principles?  Unlike the Liberal's Mosaic that defines a People by their bloodline?
In this case, Chin presumes it's his right to demand America prove to him why there's a need to control our borders. But isn't it his obligation to prove to us why we don't?  Seriously, America isn't short of people or talent, is it?  And, aside from 1%-ers who lust for the profit desperately cheap (especially illegal) immigrant labor offers, most agree a smaller population would solve many problems
So seriously Mr. Chin. How do you defend your claim our borders should remain open to people from Islamic Theocracies whose clerics clearly declare that State only exists to enforce Church Law?  When a fundamental pillar of Western Civilization, and America, is the belief that a Separation of Church and State is necessary?


Name two.


There's no new supply, all resales - most don't have to sell and they won't if they have to cut the price,  that's the difference.


Good post.


Interesting and curious turn to Russia. I guess I thought we were past that when it came out that the majority of the "russian" bought influence on social media was in favor of Bernie Sanders and Jill Stein. But, you don't seem to dispute that Mr. T 89 failed with his comment. Let's try to stay on topic here. The excessive use of executive orders by the Obama administration was/is an overreach and power grab by the executive branch that has very real and dangerous implications, regardless of party affiliation, for years to come unless it is rolled back now.


NB,  Here is the problem, if PERS pays out more money than it gathers from taxes and stellar investing, it goes bust even if a young Warren Buffet is the manager.  That is occurring now which is why everyone is writing about the 22 - 50 billion dollar short fall.  So far the only answer anyone has come up with is to raise taxes to cover the short fall for the next 50 - 80 years (guessing here).  If the voters continue to say no, which they should in my opinion, slowly then rapidly the rest of the state budget will be consumed by PERS assuming voters and non-voters (the People) don't rebel.  Does it have to come to this, no, but it will take leaders of principle and moral character who are prepared to be voted out of office to do what is financially, politically, and socially right.


Winters have been generally warmer today than they used to be.  I remember when the ground used to freeze, and we had to dig up bulbs and bring them in for the winter.  Not any more.


What happened to the real Big Glenn??


What the goofball leftwing journalists/editors who wrote this article don't understand is that it's not so much whether Trump's products are manufactured here in the U.S. as it is that Trump and a Republican Congress are willing to create an environment with less taxes and regulations that make the United States a country that is more attractive for businesses to set up their base, grow and thrive.

The article is a great example of the idiocy of leftwing journalism.


This province was well managed until the likes of Stelmach and Redford got into power through changes in the PC voting system for leaders. Thousands of instant Tories (read public service union members) bought instant memberships for $10 and could vote for a leader. That was the beginning of the end to prudent leadership. And even then, the kitty was not left bare for the NDP. It is now though.


Well, this announcement, coming just a week after the upper house of the German government announced that that country will not produce internal combustion engines burning fossil fuels by 2030 is rather anti-climactic...far short of Germany's obviously clear understanding of atmospheric science.


Oregon is roughly 30th in per capita spending on K-12 education, roughly on-par with our per capita GDP.  If the problem is something other than PERS, then why are we 14th in teacher salary but at the bottom in instructional hours and student-teacher ratio?


Half your posts are copy/pastes of mine with no attribution. Your attempt at copy/ pasting the quotes of founding fathers was also without substantiatuon or attribution. Plagiarism has always been against the rules.  Which one of your plagerized quotes do you actually think defends your laughable claim? I have another ten quotes ready if you can defend one of yours-- that's a single quote. Just waiting...


Meantime the republicans have now tried, and failed, to repeal Obamacare for the third time in a year. With congressional phone lines tied up by callers, angry protestors and politicians afraid to hold town-halls each time. Eight years they spent promising to do this - and apparently in all that time, not once did any of them think to sit down and figure out just what exactly they would do instead.
Now they find themselves very much like the dog that caught the car - and have no idea what to do with it. The best of them, John McCain, refuses to play along with their 'lets have a law without debate' crap.  Susan Collins is pretty much the only one who thinks killing millions of people may not be a good idea for a government. Everyone of those bills included huge cuts to medicaid -Trump specifically promised on the campaign that he would not sign any bill that cut medicaid.


An honest audit would begin with the observation that urban rain projects in the US always arrive overdue and over budget. Genuine errors would fall on both sides. The original time and cost estimates were fraudulent, not mistaken. Every politician who supported the rail project belongs in jail.


rangerMC,  you dont even make sense anymore. when will you thumpers realize that lgbtq's,  blacks, muslims, mexicans, asians, the poor, the homeless, aliens, extraterrestrial and earth bound, all have the same, inalienable rights as you, white, christian males do (in a just world of course), the right of personal choice. no one says a straight guy cant marry a straight woman. we just dont care because it is none of our business. its not about your beliefs or your ideology, its about equality and a persons right to choose. your comment on transgenders in elementary school bathrooms is just too stupid to deserve an answer.


White male consciousness is rising.
Nothing Sarah can do to stop it.


After years of talk without meaningful action, who can possibly continue to pay attention to church hierarchs, including Pope Francis and Cardinal O'Malley, when they seek to assure us how serious they are about fighting clergy sexual abuse and about how much they care about victims of this abuse.   Let them actually do something about the problem and let them start by removing present bishops who were guilty of playing musical chairs with clergy sexual predators.   Until that happens, I'm not interested in their hypocritical assurances.


Agreed - and my 2nd grade experience was over half a century ago!


If you're going to name your kid after a Star Trek villain you can expect to get hassled.


Of course it's damaging to the entire community to gut education on any level.   But, good grief, what do you expect when the wealthy top 1% of the population controls and owns everything, or the deciding portion of everything?

   The 1 percent has 35.6 percent of all private wealth, more than the bottom 95 percent combined.
   In 2010, 25 of the 100 largest U.S. companies paid their CEO more than they paid in U.S. taxes. This is largely because corporations in the global 1 percent use off shore tax havens to dodge their U.S. taxes.
   The corporate 1 percent dominates the lobbying for federal and state policies. In the last 30 years, the ranks of official lobbyists have exploded. In 1970, there were 5 registered lobbyists for every one of the 535 members of Congress. Today there are 22 lobbyists for every member.

Transferring wealth to the already wealthy (in Alaska it's the oil companies) is what government is for, I thought.


You forgot to mention they are also responsible for sun spots on the sun that influence our weather


I am so thankful for the teachers in this world.  Thank you, Mr. Walker and to the ADN, thanks for the article!


Right the fuck on. I couldn't agree more! All you piece of shit out of towers DEFINITELY need to go back were you came from and give us our hometown back! This doesn't even feel like like Portland no more, it just feels like a "Snobby/Yuppiesville" now. So GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE, YOU SORRY ASS OUT OF TOWNERS!!!


And she never claimed or hinted she was being brave.


Gary Johnson didn't serve in the military.

Gary Johnson also didn't mock a POW as not being a hero, or bash Gold Star parents, or run around saying that his service was at a military school, or describe his service during the Vietnam War as dodging STDs in NYC.

If I had a mic, I'd drop it.


Random interpretations?

Interpretations are up to the guys and gals in the black robes.  You know, the one elected and/or appointed by people representing guess who!  And that's only after someone petitions their government.

Then our self-serving, pandering politicians do their stuff (again, at our request).

Which brings us to the Bill of Rights, which the Skeexix Dictionary of All Kinds of Stuff (with apologies to Prof. Irwin Corey) defines as - "A collection of generally agreed upon opinions accepted as points of contention for endless debate."


Your knowledge is quite limited. Several of the residents where I trained left and didn't come back. I prefer living here, but many people do not have the same opinion.


Lets see, 36 billion spent, tested twice, failed once and one success in 2014. Millions of lives are potentially at risk if this system fails. I think they need to do a lot more testing and fast.


Our governments are spending their faces off on things they call "investments" which obviously return little and need every increasing rates of taxation to support and we set our hair on fire over personal debt. Ideally only the government would be able to borrow and waste. There is getting to be little room for the average plebe to make decisions and live with the consequences. The nanny state can't afford it.


A part of this story is that most end up in leg hold traps. So few people have seen them! So maybe--get rid of the leg hold traps? Will see more then? We are hoping for this animal species to survive for sure.


They believe evolution is a hoax and that humans co-existed with dinosaurs.
Yes, they don't understand the issues, are ignorant, and function on blind faith.


What I hate is the attitude that we should be grateful that the police did not kill in this particular instance instead of demanding that police not kill and firing the relevant police chief who failed to train his men to avoid the use of lethal force if police do kill.  You just don't get it.  Your suggestion that merely not killing warrants job well done appreciation demonstrates clearly and blatantly that the norm is to kill.  The lesson that life is cheap and expendable is learned by all.  Your praise of police for not killing instead of demanding routine tactics aimed specifically at avoiding death, demonstrates how civilians learn to little regard the lives of anybody who gets in their way.

The ballistics of shotgun pellets are well known to those who care to obtain the information and to those who regularly use them.

From your comments, it is clear that you condone casual killing of those who get in the way on the grounds that the police get scared.


Good news for the Irish. Welcome to this century, people.


I had recently asked someone that same question and was assured that there is a huge difference between the totality and "close".


Man is certainly the biggest contributing factor to the decline in migratory salmonid. While dams do have a significant impact for the reasons you cited it is over fishing and by catch that are the biggest threat to a healthy fishery.


Thank you!


With my voice-to-print by the Google....you never no for shore! I'm glad it doesn't halve my hand right ting 2.


Yeah Baby!!! What a roller coaster finish to the game/season.  I can't say I have too much hope for the post season, especially if Andersen is out,  but if they get a point tomorrow at least will be in the Ottawa/Montreal/Rangers side of the draw and could possibly squeak through a couple of rounds with some luck vs. likely quick exit against Washington.  Matthews will get Calder, probably with 90% of first place votes.  Laine obviously ridiculous player but he wouldn't have got the Leafs into the post-season and the last couple of weeks pretty much cemented it.   Both of them are going to be in top 10 scoring next year you have to think.

Feels so sweet just to have hope for a few solid years at least of having a really good team with these guys coming up.   Nylander, Marner also going to be very good players.   Going to need some solid D to really be decent but Matthews/Marner could easily become a kind of Kane/Toews duo for the Leafs.  Shanaplan!!!!!


Lordy, this is all much ado about nothing.


He may be able to swap those fees for inhome labor.


Garlands votes on 2A will cost him the job. Fact


How can you not understand that WE ARE going to be governed by a  ruthless, mean spirited, shyster of a business man who IS saturated with NYC? you think he gives a dink about eugene or anyplace like it? do you think he gives a dink about you or any of us?  we count for nothing with him.  how are we going to put more money in his pocket?


where in the constitution is the separation of church and state?


It isn't just Trump, it is the whole party.  The more ignorant you are, the easier it is to be sold the BS the Rs sell regularly.


You should not draw too many conclusions based on a study of brains already suspected of having CTE.  It's like being sent to a parking lot and then noting that you found a lot of cars parked there.  A real study would take a representative sample of brain tissues over time from both players suspected to have CTE and those that showed absolutely no symptoms.


If you need a quick crash course in Graham-Cassidy just google Jimmy Kimmel and you'll learn everything you need to know.


Hanneman's analogy about Ige being the conductor on a train is about the only true thing he's ever said.
But I'd say Ige is more like the engineer running the train except he's asleep at the controls.


This motion can lead to a slippery slope.  One where our abilities to criticize others, and religions, is diminished.  When we can no longer criticize, we are no longer live in a society that values freedom of speech.

Now there is a line between critical thought and hate, and that line was egregiously crossed by the sick demented young man that committed the atrocity at the Mosque.  There is no question that those that kill or intimidate to achieve their goal are wrong.

But we need to understand that critical thought towards some of Christianities backwards "policies" only one hundred years ago led us to grow as a society.  Women can now vote, they can wear (generally speaking) what they want to wear.  Admitting you are atheist or non-religious is no longer blasphemous, nor will it (or should it) affect your standing at your job or in the eyes of society as a whole.  Homosexuality is no longer a crime.

Our ability to criticize is our right. Don't forget this!


It must be your self-contained information bubble.  The polls show (and I'm talking scientific polls, not garbage online polls) shows Hillary winning

"Six in 10 likely voters who watched the debate said Clinton had won. Just 22 percent chose Trump. Another 12 percent called it a tie."

No under NAFTA judgments issued in Canada or the U.S. must be obeyed in the other country. Khadr has a judgement against him. And unless he can get it reversed in the U.S. it will remain in effect and in force in Canada. And she will win.


You're joking right?

Then that pretty well ruins of the credibility of the DP.  And every news source on the planet.  And every poster here.  Because if anyone tries to stand on their high horse and pretend like they've never made a typo, it just means they're lying.

🙄 🙄 🙄


Good! She and the other anti cannabis board members have done nothing to promote an industry Alaskans want. She got paid a lot of your tax dollars to obstruct the will of the voters. Can we stop screwing around and finally get to business?!


Richard,  Closing the Eagle River DMV is probably doable. Asking residents of Homer to make a 150 mile round trip to go to DMV not so much.


Riding the boom without preparing for the bust is mismanagement. The only reason there were higher incomes was the boom; it was nothing the Conservative failures did. Now that the bust has come, there is obviously nothing in place to keep the province in good shape, and that is because of forty years of Conservative mismanagement.


Question.....how can we ever come together when Republicans disagree with Democratic policies and the Libs automatic response is "your racist"?  That isnt debate, that isnt understandin....its name calling and nobody will ever responde after being humiliated


The only chance Israel has of entering into a peace deal with the Palestinians is if they continue building settlements. Eventually, the Palestinians will come to the realization that they are are only going to get a part of what they are asking for, and as the settlements grow, the part shrinks. The lands claimed by the Palestinans were never "theirs" as there was no "they" - the land was predominantly a part of Trans-Jordan, subsequent to its creation out of the Ottoman Empire. Jordan effectively ceded the territory to Israel - they neither want the land nor the Palestinians who claim it is theirs, despite never having any sovereignty over the land,  never having any governing body controlling it, or any Shah, Mufti, President etc. as leader of those inhabitants claiming ownership.

If Trump provides the level of support to Israel he has pledged, they may be lucky to retain Gaza. The US wields a big stick at the UN, watch how the attitudes change - follow the money.


PT Barnum.


I'm dismayed, but not surprised, at some of the comments. Rather than making a case against uncertainty, the New Dinosaur Party supporters bark "They shouldn't say that! Silence!"

Why? Because everyone knows that an NDP gov't would mean chaos and disruption in economies, communities and households. They cannot even manage their own piddly constituency offices, let alone a $48billion province. They accumulated so much debt from the failed 2013 election, that they had to go to a militant, corrupt, pro-American union in Pennsylavania to fund them.

Why? Because businesses, employers, agencies and citizens don't trust the Dinosaurs with money and do not donate.

My wife had one of the best comments of this campaign. Three Dip supporters knocked on our door, asking for our votes so that magically, overnight, an NDP gov't would bring sunshine and roses across the land. Wife said "Oh don't vote for NDP, that'll just encourage them." Bye.

I just don't understand how these helicopter parents expect that their children suddenly turn into well-adjusted individuals and not permanently infantilized "adults" when they grow up.


Ibby, look again Donald's team won. It is their turn to do as they see fit. I do not believe they will be asking you to join their team.

Bonuses are generally paid to those who achieve success.

If your business cannot survive without continual, massive government handouts, you are not very successful, are you?

Little wonder Canadians are rightly outraged by the arrogance and outright stupidity displayed by Bombardier senior management. And one must wonder if this arrogance and outright stupidity is behind their need for continual handouts in the first place?

Perhaps - just perhaps - what these senior executives need is not a bonus but a pink slip.


Great to hear about a wonderful performer and how he handled personal setbacks with grace. A role model for the times!

1.  During the last “Point in Time” survey, how many “families” are homeless and living on the streets and destroying our parks.  And I am referring to a conventional family (mother, father, child) unit that has simply fallen on hard times and has been homeless for less than a year?
2.  During the last “Point in Time” survey, how many drugged out, mental cases comprised the homeless population?
3.  Of all the homeless placed into affordable housing, how many (still) benefit from it? Still in housing?, Broke the rules and got kicked back out onto the street?, Failed to make any substantive improvements in their situation that rendered them homeless to begin with?
4.  If there is a law on the books regards vagrancy (which I have heard referenced to), AND it IS possible to “force” the mentally ill to accept treatment (which I have also heard referenced to), then why isn’t THAT being discussed and/or implemented?
We have indulged these homeless vagrants and bums for too long. Round em up!

Good post.  I'd also point out that humour is a weapon in the fight against the "progressive" weenies who oppose Trump without even giving him a chance to govern.


This is more wonderful news. With Britain exiting and France poised to reclaim their society and now we have Italy seeing the light. Hopefully the EU dissolves.

Nothing will change. The Democrats have destroyed this state. And the union power is incredible. Don't see much hope for this place thank God the weather is nice in the beaches are incredible and we have family and friends close by.


maybe , since so many in society, even at the highest levels of government,  appear to consider Supreme Court picks to be merely shills for whatever political brand of ideologues that appointed them,  it might save a lot of time, effort and cost if the Court were to be simply replaced with 9 personalized rubber stamps ..each coloured red or blue.

I may be dim but I wish the author had explained all this more clearly...
National was getting mortgage business directly,and also through brokers...?
Now it wants to do it directly ??
Why did it use brokers originally ??
The whole (capitalistic no doubt) veiled $$ relationship between banks and mortgage brokers confuses me and this article did not help.

"The point here, which I believe is unassailable, is that public opinion is moving in the direction of greater acceptance. There is no indication that this direction will change in the future."

I hope that's true. But it would probably be a mistake to assume so. Periods of greater toleration are  sometimes followed by periods of contraction. The presence of a vocal and highly motivated portion of the public, working hard to change the direction, is nothing to ignore.

Wherever Democrats have been in control of government for years to even decades (see Port Townsend, Chicago, Detroit, Stockton, Vallejo, Oakland, Richmond, etc. you'll see that hey have managed those communities right into the ground. Yes... Voting in the same inept managers over and over again, and what you get is failed governments like the cities I cited and even States like California. It's an undeniable track record.

And if we don't have that history around because no one even knows the name Deady, he having become an 'unperson'  as George Orwell defined it in "1984" and as Stalin actually practiced after killing rivals, how will anyone ever know that such differences existed?

Truth is better than an invented history which tries to show that what we now believe was always believed or at least superior to previous actual facts.


It is high time churches were treated fairly.  From now on, they should pay property and income taxes, like everyone else.


Good game from Nathan Beaulieu who was second only to Shea Weber in ice time tonight.

He has played very well in Markov’s absence.


If the founding fathers of our country had insisted that their religious (or atheistic) beliefs be followed, there would be no United States of America. Instead, they agreed on the idea of respect for each other's beliefs, in other words, freedom for all.

Amazing that, after a Civil War and nearly 250 years later, we are still learning this lesson.


FIRE KIM DAY! $14.5 million for a bleepity, bleep, sign! The geniuses at DIA entered into this contract BEFORE determining Pena Blvd was part of the National Highway system? Well heck, the airport has only been open for 26 years, so I can see how that fact might have eluded them.

This sign is A) a massive eyesore, the worst sort of welcome possible to Colorado and B) a huge distraction to drivers. Can you say "lawsuit?" The biggest advertisers will probably be law firms specializing in personal injury lawsuits. "Just hit by a driver distracted by this monstrosity? Call Frank Azar, he'll get you millions."

It is long overdue for a change of leadership at DIA. And in the Mayor's office and City Council.


Trump's mental derangement--malignant narcissism--explained. Check multiple valid sources on Google.


Agreed, however, I will try again with the comment.
Hollywood hypocrisy, female superstars today condemning Weinstein and yesterday cheering Roman Polanski.


Lazeelink, if you read the article, or more specifically, Trump's tweets, you'd notice that he accused the British of being lax in their terrorist responses, saying they could have prevented it. His remarks were condemned by the British Prime Minister.


Trump never demanded that they be fired. It was his opinion.


The reality is that the Democratic party has become anti-Christian (both Protestant and Catholic).  Trying to hide that is dishonest.


I guess that world championship a couple of years ago must have been fake news..


'When one team of researchers interviewed fourth-, fifth- and sixth-graders at an urban California high school, they found that more than half of them didn’t know pickles were cucumbers, or that onions and lettuce were plants'.

Anyone living in more rural areas would know chocolate milk doesn't comes from brown cows. Rural area are typically Republican voters. On the other hand urban individuals would be more likely to think something along those lines typically Democrat voters.

Again, the difference between a service dog and an emotional support dog. The laws are different and, albeit loosely, governed by different branches of the law. Service dogs laws are from the ADA, the emotional support dogs would be governed the Fair Housing   Act https://esadoctors.com/fair-housing-act-emotional-support-animals/     It still does not require a landlord to allow a pet that causes a real problem (not cleaning up after a dog's poop on the property, showing aggression and other restrictions as outlined by the FHD). The pet (and it is not limited to dogs) does not require the same extensive training that a service dog does.


Globers play the Neville Chamberlain card. Be nice at all costs.


And how did the "little guy" get neglected? The Republicans promised that "trickle down" would benefit the little guy. Instead they got "tinkled on". People praised the wealthy for their hard work that led to their riches. "Anyone who works hard can make it". Instead jobs got shipped to foreign countries. Panama, Cayman Islands and Delaware are tax havens (for Clintons too).
But Trump's main focus for this is immigrants and Muslims. Building a wall (that Mexico will pay for), trade wars and killing the families of terrorists will not make America "great again". We'd have to tear down the Statue of Liberty.


I am so grateful to know that many Alaskans who have been here longer than my 35+ years understand and are working for our rights for the right reasons.  Most of those reasons have nothing to do with getting 'free' money.

Venezuela? How about Sweden, arguably the most socialist system on the planet. Ever been there? It's awesome!


Ha ha, Trump is such a brilliant foreign-policy wonk that he made an historic blunder stoking tensions with nuclear-armed China before even assuming office.

Maybe its not about changing laws but it is definitely about values, and not our group values -which these outpouring of grief show we are on the side of right - but definitely personal ones.  How often do we as individuals, among our like groups hear racist, bigoted comments and stay silent?  We supposedly live in a multicultural society, how many of us ever sit down to a meal with someone that looks different than us; how many of us on a regular basis interact -outside of work, school, etc.- with people who look different than us;  how often do we have someone in our house, socialise with someone that look different than us?  How often do we use language like 'we are an open and tolerant' society....no human being wants to be just tolerated.

Guess reverse discrimination is an accepted practice in Canada now.


Ian Lind,  some parts of your article are inaccurate and misleading.  For example,  the statement below:

"Trask was endorsed by trustee Robert Lindsey, who was later elected chairman of OHA’s board of trustees. This year, she is returning the favor by trying to unseat Lindsey, who is finishing his second term as trustee representing Hawaii Island."

For the record, Bob Lindsey told Mililani Trask he was NOT going to run again, and wanted to spend more time with family.  HE told her to run  (prior to his health issues; a couple years ago)!  Additionally, some of your past articles are swayed in favor Haunani Apoliona, who is known to be a friend of yours, while you continue to demean Mililani Trask (last election, when Cal Lee ran, too).

Further,  facts should be checked prior to writing an article during campaign season, in order to preserve the integrity of Civil Beat, and your own credibility as a journalist.  Propoganda at it's best, Sir.


Also to Michael:  Gary is correct.

That's an idea. We wanted to have our wedding in Silverton and probably would have but my wife's elderly grandparents live at sea level and they probably wouldn't have been able to come.


I had to flag your comment as you referred to "backwoods" of Quebec pejoratively. I find it part of the Orwellian reality of today that people can constantly denigrate the people who live here peacefully but not those who come with books and a recent past literally screaming of war and a warrior god. Media has made you hate your own culture. How sad.

I wish we had a prime minister who would put Canada first.  So far Canada seems to be a low priority except for photo ops with sycophant  teenagers from coast to coast.


Unfortunately, the public service part of the employment economy is so large that retrenchment is virtually impossible.

If you look at how Argentina went from being the wealthiest country in the world in 1900 to borderline third world in 2000, is was in many small steps, among them having a large overpaid public sector.

If you look at where Canada was in say 1970, it was usually in the top 5 in per capita gnp/GDP

Now? Not in the top 30. It used to be said that it was just countries that WWII leveled were returning to normal

But now Canada is being passed by several countries that were never ahead of it, like South Korea or Australia.

I guarantee Canada is the 21st century's Argentina. In 2100, outsiders will be asking, 'what happened?' (To retired Canadian civil servants in the south of France)


Republicans will grandstand until all the money in the pfd is spent on mega projects then blame the fiscal crisis on the poor entitled minorities.
The conservatives voters will believe then vote them back into office. Worked at a federal level didn't it?


It sure seems that way.  I see it too.


This point below might explain the gap of understanding that we have.

My view is that each Christian should feel greater responsibility for the state of the soul of every person in the world, than most people do.  (and there should be no "zero sum" view of responsibility.  No lessening.

There is a secular view hat exists today that tries to assign and overly narrow responsibility....or to blame even more abstractly.

In some fashion or other, how you live your faith affects my ability to live my faith.  And vice versa, of course.

Grace and prayer operate on the supernatural plane...and if we see things with mere human eyes..we tend to "shrink" responsibility.

God grants and distributes graces as He chooses.  This understanding of course underlies two marvelous aspects of our Catholic Faith: Intercessory prayer and the Communion of Saints.

How well I live my marriage...can change, on a supernatural plane, all marriages.   We are connected "under the covers" in ways unimaginable.


Balancing our state budget and creating a 5-year fiscal plan is way over the Republican majority's head.  Governor Walker, I hope you have a 5-year fiscal plan ready to hit the ground running.  Use your executive order to instill our state budget.  These clowns are too busy looking for a place to park their butts in an expensive LIO building.  The majority's job is done.  They've showed their hand on where they continue to stand with Big Oil; ongoing tax credit giveaways.


My position is straight forward, stop the Bolsheviks (some people call them progressives) from telling us what to do with our own bodies (does that sound familiar?)
There is no greater tyrant than the one who controls your life for your own good because he sleeps well at night (to paraphrase an old expression, not sure who said if first).

All true Jerry69.  It'll be interesting to watch the union bosses bully the state and the legislature to increase headcount, wages and benefits.  The budget is precarious now and will soon be in deficit.  The state pension system is underfunded and is gambling on financial derivatives in a desperate attempt to remain solvent.  When the stock market heads South the pension system will collapse;
.
The next few years will see increased taxes, reduced services and a scramble by the unions to get all they can before the Ponzi scheme collapses.  Watch for a flood of retirements, cashing out before the pension fund is exhausted.

OK - I'll delete the part of my comment that Trudeau might be a closet ........................... but the part about some, especially US politicians, thinking that father Pierre might be a communist is historical fact.

Sadly, when I read or listen to media presentations about M-103 two thoughts come to mind.

First, I think that this is just purposeful distraction concocted by Gerry Butts and Justin to distract Canadians from the Liberals' abysmal financial performance and the impact of such high long-term debt on Canada's interest costs.

Secondly, I wonder if perhaps ................... this is the part I've deleted.

Under either scenario, Canada is doomed to suffer the same unrest as is being experienced in Europe.

Will our politicians and their advisors ever put the well-being of Canadians first above their own petty, partisan self-interests?


Hi, Rita - I've wondered about this as well. Could be their annual business meeting?? If so, I hope they take their time and come up something fresh. I hope.

While I agree with your editorial that this was the right decision, I strongly take issue with the statement "The decision was a serious one, but it was never difficult. "
Had this complex issue not been so difficult it would not have taken the time it did to unravel it.
Along with the considerable good work Deady did, and his  personal growth over his life,  we need to remember the dark side as well:
 1. He was Oregon's strongest advocate for slavery.  2. Slavery was a horrifying system and the biggest issue  in American history, leading to that brutal Civil War.  3. Had the overwhelming majority of Oregonians not opposed  Deady Oregon would have been a slave state, a "Border State" like Missouri, leading to massive misery and destruction here.  4. Even after Oregonians rejected slavery in 1857 he continued to endorse it.  5.  Even after the Civil  War he privately praised slavery in his diary.
So yes, it was the correct decision but not an easy one.


With the exception of children and legitimate spouses of Canadians. It's fair to generalize that immigration benefits foreigners and corporations. Not Canadians. It's very simple and easy to understand. Taxes or the net fiscal situation is actually negatively impacted by immigration, it costs Canadians in government spending to bring in and have immigration, more than they contribute to the economy in taxes etc, for one because we are supporting more people with our generous Canadian health and other programs. It's very simple to understand, if you had a company and 7% the people on payroll not doing anything and 10% of the people only doing half as much as they can, would you bring on more people? Like a dummy. Wake up people, our high immigration is and has been a fraud and abuse on Canadians. Furthermore so called benefits can all be achieved by Other Policies. And there is more to know. Call and email all your political representatives and heads of government at all levels today.
