Both did not denounce Trump until after many letters and opinion stories from liberals demanded they do so. Trumps words from years ago didn't stop voters who saw him as the much better choice than Clinton who was beyond any doubt to most dishonest and untrustworthy major party person to ever run for president . If they continue to disrespect him as Alaska liberals want them to do , it will hurt our state. It's time for liberals to face the fact that they ran a poor quality candidate and lost. Just as Alaska liberals do every two years against Don Young and can't figure out for the life of them why they lose. At least Trump wants to bring American's together , unlike Obama who worked to divide us based on color and how much we earn. Under Trump the sky is the limit and American's will come first .

7 years of heavy industrial traffic up a narrow 2 lane canyon. Thanks to Hickenlooper, the road was never fully repaired following the 2013 floods.

Because of this comment I predict right here and now that Kenney will be premiere in 2019 and that the left is going to be in such a world of hurt that you will wish Nenshi had lost last night just to take the wind out of the sails of the UCP.

How many of the Antifa losers down in the states who are currently freaking out and throwing urine balloons at Trump supporters said the same thing as you back in 2012 when Obama got re-elected?

After the last eight years I think Obama has developed alligator armor. How did Obama convince his kids that yes he's black (when he's only half black), that he was born in Hawaii at Kapiolani Childrens Hospital, and is legitimately qualified to be president when birther lies were being aggressively repeated? I would think this much tougher than a couple protesters or the likes of Bronson and Richard.

Well, would you like to talk about that? You're being so oblique that I'm not even sure what you mean. Are we still talking about 'football?' God knows, I'm a provocateur, but it's mostly to draw out topical discussions.

I can't agree with the idea that diplomaccy will do anything positive. We know what type of character Kim has shown himself to be. He is ruthless, a killer of kin and friends. He can't be trusted to act with Judeo-Christian, or western values. To negotiate with him simply gives him legitimacy in his eyes, a trump card that the west is weak. It would only embolden him to carry on as he has been, likely with even more impunity. He wants power internationally just as he has exerted within his country. A man will not change his ways unless he experiences a severe traumatic event. That event is not likely to come from within his country. That leaves only externally sourced events. That event won't come until Kim oversteps internationlly based boundaries, and he's moving toward conflict at a measured pace. The time will come and the world can expect it. I suspect Putin gave N.K. weapons technology. Kim may be Putin's puppet, emboldening him even more. Putin will push NK when Putin is ready.

First of all, Thank You Konrad Yakabuski for yet again writing an article without once mentioning the boring topic of Donald Trump. That fact alone makes this piece highly readable. Secondly, it is wonderfully entertaining and deftly lampoons the creator, CBC, over its objectives and motives - casually revising history using emphasis or not; for example,what about the settlements in Nova Scotia ? Also, I was disappointed in the depiction of Champlain, who in my view was a giant in our history, although to give credit he was at least included. A cameo appearance by the PM was a bit much. Anyway, Mr .Yakabuski has succeeded brilliantly in setting the Fox amongst the PC chickens and I am going to enjoy the fallout, which I expect will have more legs and laughs than a barrel of monkeys.

So let me get this straight, you think by the new rules, they are unfair because the rates haven't been there for years. How to explain to borrowers: interest rates are inflation plus a rate of return of 4, an inflation target is 2. So the proper realistic interest rate for a mortgage rate is 6, and that is where we are going to eventually get, sooner then later. Better for the homeowner to prepare for this eventuality. Also, the price of a home is overvalued by say 300,000 on a million dollar home, what sense does it make to loan 700,000? People don't buy houses lenders buy houses. Where is it seem right that at today's prices homes are 13 times household income, when it should be closer to 3 to 4 times income. I see these new rules as a safe guard to the taxpayer who backs the banks!

I agree with what you are saying. I know that this aquarium ban is also based upon bad/no science and is being driven by mis-guided emotion. I wish everyone in support of this ban would watch the film "Chasing Coral". The film is a muiti-year study conducted by real scientists and includes Hawaii. The real problem is temperature change causing a mass bleaching of coral on a global scale which directly impact all fish populations. In the mean time we waste resources on a silly ban that will have no impact while the coral continues to die.

I was raised in an Okie town until 10 years old. My folks were Okies. My Dad used the words Wetbacks for illegal Mexicans, Wops for Italians and Dagos for a lot of others. He was actually from Missouri before moving to California during the Great Depression in the 30's. I guess he would call me a Squaw Man if he were still alive. But I never heard him use the N word. But we didn't have any Black people or Asians in our small sawmill town in California. When I saw the movie Grapes of Wrath it was like seeing the story of my folks when they first moved to California from the Missouri and Arkansas. Grapes of Wrath was all about Arkies and Okies leaving the Midwest and moving to California. Actually changing our language like Obama is doing takes a lot of color out of how we can express things. Like N-heads; we now have to call them grass tussocks. N-heads had character. Hemingway, Mark Twain, and Steinbeck would have a tough time writing today.

Sadie this is incorrect. The USFWS adopts nearly all state rules for hunting. But they cannot adopt hunting rules that violate the purposes of the refuge. National wildlife refuges were created by Congress to protect wildlife in its natural diversity, yet the state treats federal refuges the same as general state land. If anything, this is State Overreach.

More fake climate predictions (i.e. guess). Let's look at some facts. Increases in atmospheric CO2 occur after increases in atmospheric temperatures. Global temperatures have been increasing at a rate of 0.6 Degree C per century since the end of the little Ice Age in the 19th Century, and that rate has not varied substantially, 19 of the last 20 years has seen no statistical increases in global temperatures. CO2 is a trace gas and one of the smallest greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Water vapor is the largest greenhouse gas and accounts for 95% of the warming effect of greenhouse gases. Man made CO2 accounts for less than 2% of the total CO2 in the atmosphere with nature providing the rest (termites produce 12 times more CO2 than humans.) Various CO2 concentrations Atmospheric levels - 400 ppm Greenhouses - 1200 - 1500 ppm in their operations to increase plant growth Humans exhale CO2 at 4000 ppm Soda Pop bottling operations - 5000 ppm (carbonated bubbles in your drink)

The problem in Saskatchewan was the Public School Board initiating a lawsuit against the Separate (Catholic) School System and the Gov. of Saskatchewan because they lost some mostly elementary students, who were not baptized catholic when the Separate School System opened a school in a small town to avoid a 45 minute bus ride each way (Sask deals with large distances). The Public School Board as aggressor started that lawsuit 14 years ago and has spent over $6 million dollars doing so. I'm disgusted with their lousy stewardship of taxpayer's money and putting the children and parents behind their political ambitions. As they have stated: " lower enrolment means fewer dollars for their Public School Board". It's a sick way of that Board to spend public money.......

Given that Mr. Comey and the Obama DOJ had colluded in the destruction of evidence, allowed sweetheart immunity deals, required agents to sign unprecedented non-disclosure agreements, obstructed justice in the Clinton national security violation investigation, asnd then closed it down even though the Uranium One quid pro quo payments from the Russians to the Clintons were revealed a month earlier in the NYT, it is no wonder that young Trump did not contact a politically compromised FBI when offered evidence of Clinton/DNC collusion with and payme by a from the Russians.

For once, I agree with Wynne. Road tolls are ok but the infrastructure and operating costs are too expensive. In addition, the time to set that all up was going to take a couple of years. Toronto residents need to pay higher property taxes. I understand that higher density should be less tax because the costs are shared. I also understand that there are those who can't afford higher taxes, especially the low income and elderly who no longer have an income. However, what we've seen is that all the services, infrastructure repairs, and upgrades cost a lot more money than was ever expected. The materials and labour costs have gone through the roof. The costs are just too high. Residents in other municipalities pay more taxes, and don't get nearly as many services as Toronto residents.

There is no confirmation that the plane "had an engine failure the day before..." When the uncle said "The last time he was out in it, it lost all power, communications.

Abortion on the other hand, seems to me to be barbaric. I recommend that you watch Monty Python's "The Meaning of Life" and pay attention to the musical number early on "Every Sperm is Sacred."

The ADN won the Pulitzer for an expose of the Teamsters Union, apparently, long before you were around as the Mat-Maid story was years later.
