NFL players, Kap especially, do all those wonderful charitable works you demand and more. The display by pence was a sophomoric action that was not representative of the quality of leadership the USA is capable of. Black athletes have every right to display a respectful protest to a nation that espouses equality and opportunity but still falls short of that promise during a moment we draw attention to our freedom. The racism that disenfranchises blacks is the same racism that obscures the brave stand NFL players have taken in order to call attention to injustices present in our nation.


IRT "Ban cars from Kalakaua Avenue"
Not enough, perhaps.  We would have no borders and too, be a sanctuary city.  So, Waikiki should be made a "safe zone" no less than in solving the homelessness problem.  Ban not only cars, but also, all locals from Waikiki as safe zone from the tourists.  In that way, tourists will only harm themselves and locals kept safe from especially the "illegal tourists."


The PMO must be confident that Ms. Fukakusa is "compliant".  After all, her marching orders will come directly from Trudeau's inner circle.


Opium poppies are plants.

Use of opium goes back thousands of years.

"The Mediterranean region contains the earliest archeological evidence of human use; the oldest known seeds date back to more than 5000 BCE in the Neolithic age."

It's refined substances are some of the most addictive known to man.

Heroin, morphine, codeine.


Although Haytham Abu Adel certainly should consider his residency a privilege, I mixed up the characters at the protest. It is Hussain Rachou who has the family in Dubai.


Not arms?  Perhaps we should inform the US ARMy that they should change their name to comply with the Constitution.


When you live in a society where the social-media lynch mob can cause you to lose your job for publicly stating things like "I'm against any further immigration" (note: not my view, it's just an example), etc, then the only place to voice these views becomes these radical parties.  A liberal society that allows no dissent from the prevailing narrative, that does not consider the merit of views aside from the current canon, I think is actually the cause of the coming rise of the far-right.


So what?  Obama spent Millions of taxpayers money of lavish vacations in Hawaii and added $10 trillion to our National Debt!  Trump is donating his salary to charity and done more for this country in 9 months, than Marxist Obama done in 8 years!


Health care in the United States will improve dramatically and the cost will decline dramatically when it finally cuts loose the bowling balls of private insurance, defensive medicine, lobbyists advocating for corporate profits, and a congress that gets away with the practice of medicine without either a degree or a license.


You are a dreamer! If our troops were supposed to be in a non-combat situation why arm them. But I have a much bigger question...WHY ARE CANADIANS THERE AT ALL? The entire middle east has been a killing ground for several thousand years. Nothing we do is going to change that. Bring our people home and let the Arabs kill and mutilate each other all they want. To finish off, keep your sick, wounded, poor and destitute over there where they belong, don't send them here for medical treatment, education, and a better life, keep them at home and change the living conditions in their own countries.


How can we trust leadership that continues to let us down?


being about the most expensive airport for airlines to come to, hey can dress it up all they want but it will not change anything


The sand your head is stuck in.


. . . by Trump's prodding, and perhaps go too far, might find out they have no option but to leave the Stadium.  With escorts.

Not too much of a reach to see that NFL owners may take steps to "protect" their players from harrassment.

Also, I believe the NFL may still have a blackout rule.  That a game is blacked out locally if there is no stadium sell out.  So, local fans, at least, can't make "show" and not show up, but exect to be able to watch the game on TV.

Note:  Daniel Snyder, owner of the Washington Rediskins, and BIG million dollar contributor (along with his wife) to Trump's campaign, stood locked arms with standing Redskins, among kneeling Redskins.

Also, owners need to wonder about what impact their "politics", in the midst of this issue, will have on future free agency acquisitions.


The sun is bright. You... not so much.


Oh chucks you got me! None. But I'm not the one claiming to be happy to hand my income over to the government to invest err squander. If someone is really that "happy" to do it just write a check already -- perhaps they will then be so happy they will send more!


It's a throw-away comment as the Court matter is scheduled for December and undoubtedly there will be another postponement.


Why should she be fired for speaking the truth?


This is where you have it all wrong Donald chump is as much as MONSTER as Kim so I don't side with neither. Donald chump is a REDNECK DEVIL👹👹 & their is no uniting with the Devil of the DIVIDED STATES OF AMERICA.


I gave you a link to empirical data. And I explained to you why 67% of funding doesn't not equal 67% control because funding is only 1 of the 7 major components of the health care system. Those are facts that you chose to ignore in favor or your opinions, which you now accuse me of doing, therefore I find your comments here disingenuous and not worthy of further consideration.

You are free to ignore facts in favor of your ideology, and I am free to not participate in discussion with people who ignore facts. Good day.


You can't be fired for insubordination for not following an illegal or unconstitutional order.


The blanket of hubris with which Trudeau and Morneau, McKenna and other Liberals have enshrouded themselves in will eventually smother them. The out of control spending and environmental regulatory hammering they are giving Canada's economy has a correlation dangerously similar to the mess created in Ontario under the McGuinty-Wynne Liberals. And there's one common thread connecting the two that's equally smothered in a generous layer of hubris.


So the FRA would supersede guidelines proposed by the state of Oregon?


No need to lose funding over sheltering criminal illegals.


East of Walterville, there is a road sign that says, "Deerhorn". There is a Deerhorn Rd too but, where's Deerhorn? Is it like Nimrod?


US ban on travel to North Korea won't work. The North Koreans can simply not require a US Visa from US visitors. Then we have no control over who visits them. But it's desirable for us because we can still send in people for backdoor negotiation. Basketball diplomacy.


They really want him to say that divorced and remarried can never receive Eucharist.


No, it didn't go far enough to placate thpse for whom "religious freedom" means "the right to discriminate against gays".


A woman was arrested for this today.....


those fact checkers looked at one stump speech of hers to determine that she was the picture of honesty ...unfortunately the rest of us have seen how this woman operates for decades now and claims that she is the honest person in any room just isnt so


Do you have a comment about the content of my post or, like so-called progressives in general, are you looking to avoid facts and play identity politics as this "professor" is so clearly attempting?


"...the information isn't just troubling because it suggests the Trump campaign sought out the help of Russians to win the presidency. It also contradicts a number of claims made by the White House, the campaign and Trump Jr. himself — claims made as recently as this weekend. For an administration and campaign that have repeatedly denied contact with Russians and had their denials blow up in their faces, it's yet another dubious chapter."

Trump Jr. in March: No meetings “representing the campaign” with Russians.
 President-elect Trump in January: No contact between Trump associates and Russia during campaign.
Hope Hicks: "No communication" with a foreign entity,
Kellyanne Conway in December: “Absolutely not” on contact with Russians trying to meddle.
Vice President Pence in January: “Of course not”
Trump Jr. in July 2016: Suggestions that Russians tried to help Trump are “lies”


Conservative ideology includes lower taxes, less sending, more personal responsibility and less government intervention.


I meant the opinion writers. What do they think about this? Why isn't there an editorial published expressing the view of the paper?
They will happily call May or Trump derogatory names and write advice about they are doing wrong  but on a domestic story like this with the potential for huuge implications no one has an opinion?
Cowards.


There was nothing remotely uncivil about that post.  In fact it was quite a civil response to Stephen Saines' gratuitous insult above.  The censorship here is shameful.


There will be another election within 6 months.  No party holds perfect attendance to maintain power in this precarious situation.


When you are homeless and not responsible for anything "It's all somebody else's problem."You don't pay taxes. You just treat Diamond Head as your "subsidized" apartment you can trash. You intrude on the mountain without invitation, permission or consent. So, given the way you think of yourselves, the state and powers that be are driven to take drastic measures to restore a beloved monument.

Denby the fine work you do has drawn others who do not agree that staying on Diamond Head is OK, good for you.  Well done.


Thanks for the clueless observation.  And I say clueless because it utterly ignores reality.

White kids do more drugs and represent a much larger segment of the population but they don't get arrested for drugs, and if they do, they're far more likely to have representation, beat the charges (often based on illegal search or lack of probable cause), or simply enjoy a lenient District Attorney.

They don't get pulled over at nearly the same rate.  Would you like an example?  This fifty year old black man was detained, searched and shot to death based on incredibly "serious crime" of not having a tail light on his bicycle.

Capital offense.  The problem is White Privilege in this country, boldly practiced by police forces nationwide.


How does this possibly rate a "Disagree", Alceste?  Imprisonment following a false accusation of sexual assault is not an injustice?  Or is it just a trivial one?


sheeperst:  Obama clearly did NOT encourage illegals to vote, and the fact that many on social media claim that they voted provides zero credible evidence.   The additional fact that Trump falsely claimed 'millions of illegal votes' with the same zero evidence does not provide confidence in the United States' immediate future.


Good for the Senate I say!

Captain Moonbeam campaigned that he was going to help the middle class and not stand idley by while Canadians were being taken advantage of. Well he was lying of course - like a continual increase in tax on beer is going to affect the affluent and not harm the middle class. Very slowly people are seeing what he and that party stand for.


No, No, No, No !!!! Dammit NO!


Google "SIG program failure".


Couldn't the Associated Press have used a photo that doesn't make Mr. Bannon look like someone's whiskey-soaked dirty-minded uncle? Oh wait. Never mind.


I wonder how many Bishops and many Priests,  Jesus would or will, perhaps after death,  put a rope around the neck and throw into the ocean, for failing to protect the most vulnerable of our members? Just wondering? Instead of making excuses or hiding the fact they could at least try to rectify as much as possible.


If something is true yet can change what does it become when it changes? It must become false for if it is still true then it has not changed.


Well there's the Hermitage.....and Putin's secret police.

"At what point did the ON PCs become an attractive option?"

LOL, R U serious?

FYI Liberal shill, after 15 long dark years of the breathtakingly corrupt and incompetent McWynnety kleptocracy, electing a stray dog has become an attractive option.

BTW, the answer to your question would have been any of the past 3 elections...


Go get 'em Bill--I believe we met several months ago at Casa deVino when I introduced myself--we are the same age, 87 but I did my political stint when I was 27 as a City Councilman and then Mayor of the city of Buena Park CA, home of Knotts Berry Farm. The experience was well worth the effort and I'm sure you will be a great addition to our local government--you are never too old to do something new!


Joes you said elsewhere here "For much too long, the country known as Canada has inflicted it's damage on the people of BC ..." Maybe you should look to Alberta and the several hundred billion dollars Trudeau Sr. took from Alberta with his National Energy Program. You probably don't remember Sr. kept Alberta oil below world price while at the same time subsidizing the East oil price purchased from OPEC. Or the Petroleum Gas Revenue Tax put on Alberta oil and gas which funded exploration in the north and offshore.  I don't remember getting anything from BC for less than world price.
.
And you said Canada is failure is wrong.  Perfect -- No,
Opportunities lost -- without a doubt
But I would rather live in Canada with some imperfections than any other country in the world.  Well, maybe Bermuda too.


Seriously?
The democrats thank you for leaving.
You can't fix stupid.


Not every circumstance is that tidy.  As those folks trapped on the side of the road in Quebec found.  But by all means don't let me discourage you from an ev if you are hell bent on one.  Be sure to update us on your struggles and strife.


"It was simply to expensive". Guess what you less than smart people making decisions and contract will end up loosing $37 million because you signed the contract. Outcome of cost much later is TOO LATE. People in the legislature should have been held accountable and should be sued by Alaskans once we lose this


She doesn't understand English.
In future maybe Oregon should install bilingual walk don't walk announcements and train train conductors to inquire if you need an interpreter before yelling a warning .


Good point.  If he was just a drug user that got addicted to drugs that is one thing, but he was also distributing and selling dangerous drugs for profit.   Wonder if he sold any of those drugs to kids in his neighborhood?


For clarification, is it "even-handedness" or "level-headedness" you find to be the more offensive?


You might be right - but the quote is:

"When asked about the potential of moving Ward, Joseph said, “he’s one of our better players, so I would be surprised if he was, but I have not heard that.”"

That doesn't sound like a typical sarcastic response to me.


It's ridiculous to think that I can motivate my financial investor to invest in my best interests when his salary and commission is paid by the bank he works for, therefore their interests will always be more important. That's why I left my financial advisor.  This article appears to be an advertisement for the person who wrote it.


I recall that after President Clinton met with AG Loretta Lynch she stated that she would defer to whatever the FBI decided.


Any Liberals unable to access Facebook would shrivel up and die within minutes


Another hater too afraid to speak under their own name.  Ignore.


Well put. Who would have imagined that a free trade deal negotiated between democracies would, could and should be subject to democratic approval by the participants according to their national political priorities? This could well prove a major threat to the multinational domination of western democracies, and so I channel my ancient Supertramp and ask: Crisis!? What Crisis?


Is there a current showing?


Most of deep ecology madness is based on lies.


You would think ethnicity would be the best description of the perp, but no can say that nowadays. Political correctness gone amok.


Sink to what level? Was there something in the mailer that was untrue?


BTW, the approval was not by a landslide either, LOL.


Yes, about five years ago for the first time ever in Canada the number of kids registered in soccer programs exceeded the number registered in hockey programs.

True the changing ethnic and cultural mix in Canada is a major factor in hockey's decline.

The other major factor is the extraordinarily high cost of hockey equipment and programs - especially for goalies - that can run $10,000 a year or more per player and that puts the game out of financial reach for a majority of parents to finance even one let alone more than one child in hockey.

For those of us who grew up with and played hockey, this is very sad.  Perhaps a partial answer is for the NHL in self preservation to  subsidize hockey for youngsters.


What is amazing or questionable is that May is moving ahead without Parliament approval in a country that is a parliamentary democracy, on the basis of a referendum that is only advisory, and that registered  only a small turnout.
One of the biggest political muddles ever. It is not over until it is over.


The reason they don't exist is because neither is a pathological liar like Trump.
And I'm absolutely no fan of Trudeau...
Again, why do you keep dragging Trudeau into an article that has absolutely nothing to do with him.
Desperate to change the subject?


He should have never been given his gun back and should not have been allowed to purchase any new ones.  In most States checking into a Mental Healy Facility automatically revokes your gun ownership rights.  Families may decide to sue our wonderful police department.


in reading these comments, it's quite clear the internet has created a whole lot of "legal experts".

just confirms what I already knew.

the double standards displayed here is staggering.


Good God, it's coming apart!

Clumsy retweeting, and did you see the "war with Korea" photo in this morning's newspaper?  A B-1 bomber is shown in Guam, evidently "preparing to take off" and there is a chock or other piece of lumber in front of the nose wheel, and a step ladder lying on the ground in front of the starboard landing gear!

Step back, Donald! You're going to take an eye out!


$28 is big if you live in Kansas.  That'll buy you a lot of kaukau over there or 1# of poke at Tanioka's.


The wife of a former union executive and a former vice president at Fiat Chrysler have been indicted for allegedly violating federal labor law in connection to a bribery investigation.. As A 25 year UAW local 600 member I can tell you first hand , you are better off without a union! Unions always support democracts, you should see the vile propaganda distributed through out the plant against our president Donal J Trump. The unions were needed 70 years ago now they are only good for taking your hard earned dues and giving it to some idiological democrat to run for office and promote socialist ideals and that directly conflict with the working mans values .....VOTE NO UNION ! Thank me later


Ethanol will not reduce smog and produces 22% more hydrocarbons than gasoline resulting in higher ozone levels that can cause respiratory problems.
Source: Scientific American April 2007.
Also why divert valuable fertile farmland from food production to ethanol production. We have plenty of oil and gas that can be used to power vehicles.
No problem banning diesel powered automobiles. Period.  The concept of bio diesel is misleading suggesting that bio diesel is cleaner than ordinary diesel.


I find it ironic how often the intoxicated driver tends to survive these crashes and victims are the ones who usually die.


Kroenke Sports: a global specialist in nepotism and mismanagement


My answer Mum: Yes.    FYI that's  the way it has always been done.


Sort of like the Roman government huh? Worked until it got too liberal!


Frank never sang to "teenyboppers."  As a big band vocalist, he sang to screaming BOBBYSOXERS.  Later...geriatric.  You'll get there one day.  If you're lucky (or, unlucky--life's like that sometimes.)


Any Act is a lower policy law compared to the highest laws in the Constitution. I think we should just have separate checkbooks and let the Indigenous Nations manage their own share of the Land Wealth that is currently being held in trust in a single asset 1.5% fund that props up the Canadian dollar, budgeted out in the unique Fiduciary Duty that resembles more like dad giving out an allowance. That way if Canada wants to keep subsidizing oil companies while their citizens pay at the pump again, they can do it on their own dime.


show really sucks, poor Jack..............


I don't mind him using an interpreter. He may have functional English, but he may  want to protect his rights to not mis-speak in the courtroom.

However, I don't believe his story. It is one thing to be put in charge of a rubber dinghy and told to steer it towards a visible island two miles away (the Turkey - Lesbos run). It is quite another to actually steer the ship across the biggest ocean on earth.


See, "After the Ball," (Madsen), "The Overhauling of Straight America," (Kirk), and "Gay Revolutionary," (Swift) for starters.

I don't purport to know the cause of same-sex attraction.  But I do know from friends who have chosen the homosexual identity that to call themselves "gay" was a decided choice, a decision to embrace their same-sex attraction and the acts associated with that attraction.

As I say over and over again here, there is same-sex attraction, and then there are homosexual acts.  Conflating the former (which seems to have an element of involuntary predisposition) with the latter (which is totally a choice) under the banner "gay" is an attempt to bury the sin under the sinless.

What could be wrong with someone who is "gay?"  It psychological manipulation and selective messaging towards people who are conflict averse and just want to get along.  You know what they say about the road to Hell....


"The people in that country are fed a constant diet of propaganda from the day they are born. They are subjected to regular shows of patriotism, grand parades, massive rallies and steady streams of misinformation."

Sounds an awful lot like the United States.


Typical article that blames everyone but the instigators for this, and other, atrocities.

Yakabuski should explain why immigrants from southern Africa and the Caribbean, who have faced much more discrimination, have not resorted to the mass murder of their fellow citizens in protest.


earlier today I ended my contract with the company that does my typing, and instead I will have my daughter  do it as a legitimate form of 'sprinkling'. Unfortunately for the other typist, they will lose work. C'est le vie. They can thank Morneau.


That happens often in wife-beating cases.

Very difficult to prosecute when she won't testify.

"Oh, it was really all my fault.  I shouldn't have____________."

"But I really love him and it didn't even make much of a bruise."

"This could ruin his career/our finances/his reputation if he is convicted."

Domestic violence cases are like that.


Congress' job approval rating is around 13%, Trump's is 38%. I didn't leave anything out or cite, you do your own research.


Try again.

The ultra right wing Jews who have allied with anti-Semites are not anti-Semetic themselves, but opportunists who are willing to work with fascists.  Read about the Iran-Contra scandal, the role of the Israeli military supporting the military dictatorship in Guatemala when it was waging genocide on indigenous villages, to cite two of the many blatant examples.


Still bummed about hilly 😂


I love it when an article contains unsupported statements "but is also known to be employed as a shortcut by illegal cannabis grow-operations when a crop is threatened by an infestation." Being from the west I like, most here know people in the old medical grow industry as well as in the illegal industry and for the most part they ran like organic food growers. The crops they grew were smaller than the 20,000+ sq ft operations that make illegal pesticides both necessary and easy to use.

The only way to ensure that people do not get a tainted product designed to maximize profits for shareholders is to allow people to grow their own. The added benefit is it will make the product affordable for those that need it.


And the award for most boring fluoride troll goes to.... Randy Johnson.


Your post asks what your tax dollars were spent on.  You have based your opinion on this question.  What I want to know is this:  with such a firmly held opinion, why don't you know what your tax dollars were spent on?   Why is your opinion not based on facts instead of feelings?  Or is that politically incorrect to say?


Why would anybody stop a robbery like this?
This situation wouldn't be a defensive use of a CCW holder.


Actually, if you look at Lisa's FEC filings and Open Secrets, you'll see that your conspiracy theory is just hot air.  And be careful of those "Canadian" pharmacy ads you get in your inbox -- they're really coming from a garage in Indonesia.


And Trump and the GOP are ecstatic over less people being covered.


"Our whole system" includes the executive and judicial branches, too.  I hear it's far worse there, and we can verify that they spend far, far more money than the legislative branch does, but the average person will never know the difference.  Consumers of journalism seem to have an easy time lambasting the legislature only because journalists have easy access to the legislature.  Otherwise, there's a reason why everything is filtered through departmental PIOs/press secretaries, armed with a bevy of perfunctory quotes/soundbites which say nothing important.  Imagine an ADN reporter walking around the Atwood Building or Nesbett Courthouse unannounced, poking around workspaces "looking for a story".  I don't think they'd make it very far before being confronted.


Curious...how's the pain now, and if it's there, how are you "managing" it?


Great news! Hopefully they will be focused on the crime and gang members. Not like several of noobs I have encountered for no reason! Oh you have a fast car so I stopped you for no reason! Duh.....


Well written informative article.


Obviously you know this from experience, the paper cup coming around soon?


I am a Muslim and I am 110% in support of this law, I believe it should be in place in all Canada.
It is not about religion, it is about security and public safety.
It was better if prime minister try to understand this instead of blindly oppose it.


Another taxpayer funded clusterf*ck.


Actually Trump hasnt done anything at all except talk so whats the big deal.  You have zero cred Nanakuli especially with Caldwells goo all over your face.


Islamophobia to Muslims is anything that denies or resists the supremacy of Islam. Islam means "submission" and not to submit to Allah is Islamophobic.


Trump is a legally documented racist.  That history begins with United State v. Trump. Y. 1973


Someone with a lot more money than brains or compassion. While it was proven that Zimmerman acted in self defense, that does not change the fact that a young man died and I do not like anyone making anything from that death or paying that much for something that caused a death.


... I lived there, those murders were rarely even reported on in a meaningful way.  Very painful stat for the city they really should legalize it all there ...


Privatizing everything is not the answer. "Unleash" makes it sound scary. "Moratorium on regulation" can be just code for having the freedom to do whatever the flock one wants. And that code is a perversion of liberty. Liberty for people in a democratic republic does not mean 100% liberty for them. There has to be laws and regulations in order to support the tenets of a democratic republic. Gluttony and greed are not among those tenets.


Skyline I had agreed with you right up until your last two sentences. When you resorted to attacking the poster personally in a very derogatory manor instead of refuting their debating points you lost me. Perhaps you should look in a mirror to find out who the "absolute joke" is.


Mr. Kenney, as a British Columbian, I salute you!


Jesus Himself was pre-Vatican II.  And I used primarily His words, as did LG.

LOL.


You're making an assumption here, aren't you.  you know what the say about that....


The increased contributions were likely already in the previous contact, not necessarily in addition to the previous contract.  Even if it was added, it may or may not be an equal offset.  You can't assume it is in addition or that it would "easily offset" the labor cost savings.


Really?
Post a credible link of an example of Americans or Westerners stealing Chinese equipment while Chinese operators were watching.
Why are you defending a totalitarian police State?


Let's compare Obama to Trump.

The US warned that the use of chemicals was a "line in the sand" that would provoke a US response.

Obama's response?  I think it's fair to say that Obama's response was similar to the lily-livered responses that Neville Chamberlain gave towards fascist aggression in the 1930's.  "Peace in our time!" - and we all know how that songbook played out.

Trump's response? Well let's just say that after years of Obama's failed policies in Syria, we're finally seeing some definitive action against the atrocities, and it's about time!  Perhaps Assad will finally get the message that the killing of innocents in Syria will no longer be tolerated.


Count on Gary to state the obvious.... over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over ad nauseum.


Saullie: for once you sound  reasonable. Two hard checking forwards, two defencemen and a great goalie, will cost. Blowing 17-20% of your cap on one guy affects  any long term plan in this league.


The scary part is that the popular motive for these type of terrorist acts seems to try to beat the previous record. Not a good thing with firearms getting more and more powerful.


All they want is for taxpaying hard working Americans to pay for the healthcare of non-working immigrants and welfare recipients. We can pay $800 per month with a $9000 deductible and never really use the actual insurance. We are paying for Somali, Afghan, Congolese, Sudanese refugees and lifetime welfare recipients that have no monthly payments or deductibles. The healthcare deduction that comes out of your paycheck every week has now just become another TAX and we get absolutely nothing back for it.


Can anyone please  explain to me why Rose McGowan can have her Twitter account temporarily suspended yet Agent Orange doesn't?


Lynn.. you forgot about the moose antler's thru the windshield  or mounted on the hood...

Be safe everyone..slow down... and buckle up!!!!    gonna be a wild ride.....


Muted? That'll teach him. AHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAAHAHAA


well said, jake.
on another corruption-related subject, what has happened to the national guard/rape/apd/katkus and guns investigation?
not a peep on this subject for many months.


You love your labels.  It creates a nice little world of your personal certainty.   Black/ White, conservative/liberal, rep/dem.    It's typical of campaign propaganda for The Party.  It isn't reality.   And I have jumped several Dems  on this site for the same thing.

What's your name?  Why are you afraid to use it?  I'm serious- why?


Ask yourself why Warren Buffett propped up the mortgage lender in Canada?  The man is a vulture investor. Patience will show that Trudeau will fail spectacularly. He is already running 30 billion in the red annually. Don't see that changing in the near future. Global and Canadian investment capital are leaving at the rate of several billion per month. Wonder how that will turn out? The conservatives should offer no foils for which trudeau could use to prop himself up. Instead just be patient. Saw this train wreck in the 1980's with his Dad. The economy is at peak exuberance without a safety net. Real estate lost 30 - 50% value depending on the region. Ask yourself what would help deflect the collapse of a residential real estate market? There is no industry in Canada capable. Remember well the deals back then. Patience.. LOL ..


I think you are being obtuse if you try to minimize the costs associated with on-going home ownership.


Yahoo!!! that is the way of Yahuah...we are blessed! thank you Gottstein's.


Wayne,
All strength to you and a sincere thank you for the good work you do on behalf of all South Africans.

BUT some additional tactics are needed.

The Spur debacle has shown the way - whatever one's views, once their customers started to boycott them, commercial considerations moved to the front burner, and political / PR considerations took a back seat.

"Facing criminal charges" is insufficient.

All it means is that criminal cgarges have been laid - how many of these cases are either not being investigated, or being sat on?

Where possible and appropriate, civil action is a good alternative - the plaintiff can push the matter, and the burden of proof is far lower than in criminal matters "a balance of probabilities", rather than "beyond a reasonable doubt."

Regading Bell Pottinger, for example - I suggested that OUTA crowd fund a full page advertisement in a couple of British newspapers (the Times or Terlegraph and say Daily Mail) - many commentators offered support of R1,000


Sure, Lil Kim threatens to sink Japan, turn Seoul into a sea of flames, and reduce the US to ash and darkness, but somehow it’s all Trumps fault?


In 1970 if Alaskans fully understood what HYDROGEN is then TAPS would have been a big stupid gas-pipeline instead of a horrid CRUDE-pipe.

In 1971 when I was standing in Atigun Pass before a road was built thru the pass, silently alone with the wind in my ears, I knew the thundering stampede yet to arrive was focused on CRUDE without a broad education in energy architecture.

CRUDE is a messy goop stuck halfway between COAL & METHANE.

IMHO:  CRUDE has less value than properly processed COALwater [LRCWF].

Wasting our gas to produce CRUDE is like wasting all the gold&copper to produce the molybdenum in a big metalliferous porphyry.

A big stupid $65billion gas pipeline looks more like a bank robbery than an efficiently designed gas development project.

We can begin developing our gas-resources with very little CAPEX-risk,
forget $billions and think $tens-of-millions to get started making a snowballing profit that will soon become a new road ahead for Alaska as a global leader.


Lie. When confronted with the truth deny. Lie again. Then lie again and yet again. Eventually the lie becomes the truth. Worked for the Nazis.


I don't want to share shelter with the likes of you. You should be banned and relegated.


Relocate our homeless to here?


Thank you Jeremy Hsieh, for helping the people of Alaska know how the legislature bends the rules to suit their own purposes.

They may have been "interpreting" the rule differently, but our current crisis is unprecedented and they are negligent when intentionally preventing public review and comment.  The last thing we need is secrecy in legislative processes.

The way they slipped by the refusal to rationalize the oil credit/tax legislation and ram through the Permanent Fund raid is more than egregious, it's thievery.

We need more journalists like you!


You don't even know what the Constitution says or who wrote the Constitution.  I suppose you think you're smarter than the Supreme Court justices huh, BO?


just another Soros type effort to keep the left foaming at the mouth. Trying to create some 60's clones out of the current youth. What did the 60's bring us? Drug problems? Sexually transmitted disease? A spoiled generation who's claim to fame was stopping a war that was winding down anyway. In fact it was over in the mid seventies. Keep protesting. It never produced a positive thing yet.


have you ever considered doin' some stand-up?


RTH: when you say that “they admit that not one vote was changed by the Russians,” you are repeating a popular but totally false Republican talking point.

The January 6, 2017 consensus report by U.S. Intelligence agencies, titled “Assessing Russian Activities and Intentions in Recent US Elections: The Analytic Process and Cyber Incident Attribution” very specifically states that the agencies DID NOT investigate whether votes were changed. The agencies, which you refer to as “they,” did not “admit” anything about the changing of votes. Here’s exactly what the report said:

“We did not make an assessment of the impact that Russian activities had on the outcome of the 2016 election. The US Intelligence Community is charged with monitoring and assessing the intentions, capabilities, and actions of foreign actors; it does not analyze US political processes or US public opinion.”


Hasn't been much significant updating.
Worldview, for example. The worldview established in the OT Creation myth of human origin sets off a train of religious/ cultural beliefs that wrongly advantages males, disadvantages females and totally distorts one's personal place in the order of nature.
The whole sin-thing is so misconstrued from the get-go that males uplift themselves in God-The-Father image while having no honest sense whatsoever of God-The-Mother image - what is theologically, biologically, ecologically tragic.
It takes some understanding of evolution science to debunk the religious frauds that prevail. Nature pays the ultimate price for institutional male ignorance/ arrogance. It really is very late in the day for us to wake up to our religion/ culture of self-wasting?  Better late than never!!!


Well, as the old song sort of goes, "Call me, unpredictable; call me, unreliable". Basically, this is from the Art of the Deal. When in doubt, do something that will make the opposition back off and reconsider.


The Irish ambassador gave him a good telling off, but dummy donald  probably didn't get it as per usual.


It doesn't really matter what this guy says or does. He's a wannabe not a contender. He isn't bilingual. He was raised in Montreal and isn't bilingual. The PM of Canada needs to be able to talk to French Canadians. Did I mention he was raised in Montreal but can't speak French? They'll make mincemeat out of him for that.


What a joke. Courageous says the "Governor"? How about Fat, Dumb, and Lazy? You once again steal the PFD and let the out of state oil workers take, take, take and provide nothing but a laugh as they retire in Texas, Oklahoma, Montana, Louisiana etc. No seasonal Sales tax for tourists. Both parties are thieves, get rid of them all.


Good take!


I don't believe that was a sensitive response if genuine question.


What kind of bill, exactly, could the GOP propose that Democrats could support without abandoning their core principles?

You can't flip this around to 2008, either. Democrats ended up passing a bill that was fundamentally the same as a bill passed by a Republican governor and had, in its ancestry, a proposal from the Heritage Foundation.

Republicans opposed the ACA because a) Democrats were proposing it and b) a large bunch of Republicans want the health system fully privatized.

Democrats are opposing the current GOP proposals because a) it will take health coverage away from millions of Americans, b) it will likely make health care cost a lot more for a lot of Americans and c) Republicans are proposing it.

There's no real equivalence here.


North Korea is no longer starving. In fact they are growing at about 2-4% due to economic reforms encouraging small scale capitalism and local markets. That being said its a nightmare of a society.
Investors are a mixed bag for society in general. Sometimes good, sometimes bad.  What about the big hedge fund speculators ? How do you distinguish ? What's the social value of an investor if the money made is not reinvested into the society that created it? Wealth creation is important but unless it benefits the social context in some serious way as it has in the past its social utility is in question. Its the future that has me worried.


Pretty much ANY story about the machinations of state and HNL county government is depressing now.


Go get him, Phyllis!


The mafia and biker gangs? For what? And this is based off of what objective metrics?

After all, it's already been proven to be just more fallacious rhetoric and this is public information. I think the numbers were around 2%, if that. There's few Canadian reports on this - even one of them submitted to the task farce, they're all public, all freely available in pdf.


100% of those deducted fees are taxes we all paid,,


And Trump winning is proof that you-know-what FLOTUS.


Get rid of oil-tax credits and give companies more tax incentives for hiring homeless or recently homeless people jobs. Convince local trade schools to accept 1 homeless person per class as an incentive also.

A school opening a slot to a homeless man, who gets a welding credential...is then chosen by a recruiter who comes to the school because not only does he now have the skill, but he receives a financial benefit for a 1 year period. The homeless or previously homeless person can now use the empty bus slot option to get to and from work until he/she can do it on their own or a year from job start.

Slowly but surely the state CAN do something about homelessness...I just don't think there's a drive to get there. Sure it has a small cost, but we would have more people contributing to our society.

Luke 10:30-37 for you Bible readers. The Samaritan didn't know he was robbed.


Yet another royal edict via twitter by King Twit.  No doubt issued while perched on his porcelain throne, otherwise known as his think tank.


Thank God this guy always has the countries best interests in mind.  I wonder which one of the presidents will be blasted off Mount Rushmore to be replaced with agent orange.


For very good reasons. What's Canada's growth rate compared to China's?

Case closed.


Trudeau has done the FN peoples are far greater disservice then Harper ever did, he gave them false hope. The inquiry is going nowhere because it was never intended to - like the many other promises Trudeau made to the FN to get their vote and has now reneged on.


Unofficial protests are not illegal. We all have a right to gather peacefully.

And what makes you think that any violent group was officially welcomed to the event you attended? Do you know that? Because I'd agree with you that they should not be.

That does not justify the presidents remarks or the ideologies of the groups that gathered. The president is not in a defensible position.


Yes, those sports screens are just awful.


Coming from a depth of 25 miles. That's a relief. At least the vibration isn't the result of North Korean missiles hitting the rocks.


Sometimes, in the real world, things are ambiguous. You don't like this. Too bad.


Trump is drawing ANOTHER line in the sand. As he walks backward. Before yesterday his line in the sand was fire and fury if they tested one more missile. How'd that work out?


Bravo! He must have a good mentor, and be well regarded by his skipper and the crew.
These are the relationships and the young people and their mentors that I remember from my days in the coastal and island Arctic


I think this sounds potentially very toxic.  What are the other cities where this has been successful?  I mean, some homeless are serious ex cons, mentally ill, drug users, none of which take to kindly to be tossed out of their homes.


Liberal rules are aimed at the , what should I say,  dumbed down Canadians.


Does that include the Trump supporters staring down journalists at rallies and punching people?  And the violence of absurd incarceration rates, the death penalty, and economic violence?


First time Ive had to disagree with you, Petrus. (smile.)


Michael Chong was briefly in Harper's first cabinet but resigned on principle. He's probably the least tainted and the most moderate of the bunch.


Rod B. Catiggay.  Here's what we learned yesterday.  Trump was never under investigation, did not obstruct justice, and did not collude with Russia.  Russia didn't change the election results.  (This was somewhat disappointing to me because I was curious to know how the Russians got ahold of my mail-in ballot.)  Comey leaked his own memo, and Loretta Lynch pressured Comey to cover for Hillary. There was ample evidence to put Hillary in jail but Comey chose not to pursue it. CNN and other fake news have been lying.  The Russia story is dead, yet Democrats will continue to make themselves look foolish if not insane by pushing it.  Impeachment seems unlikely because no impeachable offense has been committed.   In fact, Obama got away with so much and set the impeachment bar so high that one can rule like a dictator, ignore the Constitution, and endanger Americans with impunity but still not be impeached.


And the DNC will be taken down by a lawyer.


I would depend on how the referendum was worded and how much real education was done with the populace.  In my opinion, the real problem with tax reform is people not processing the scale of the numbers and the purchasing power behind those numbers.  For an example, Trump's fraudulent business school just cost him 25 million in his class action suit.  That sounds like a lot of money and it will mean a great deal to the people in the suit, but if Trump really is worth 5 billion, 25 million of a 5 thousand million net worth still leaves him with 4,975 millions.  So his settlement figure is not exactly going to seriously impact his net worth, much less leave him at a poverty level.  I just wonder how many people can really conceptualize the disparity between the really rich and the average Joe.


Face it, we need a new city manager and council majority.


The Swedish prime minister calls it a terrorist attack, but the to the Associated Press (writers of this article) they are "extremist attacks". From the third-to-last paragraph: "Vehicles have been common weapons in recent extremist attacks".


What the article also fails to articulate is how bad of a policy it really is.  Every year we see an article or a study showing that one of Canada's key failures in competitiveness and fundamental weaknesses is the lack of entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial risk taking.  This is especially evident when compared to the U.S.
Is it really that surprising that individuals in Canada are less than keen to take entrepreneurial risks knowing that even if they risk everything on their idea/start up/small business, the Provincial and Federal governments will figure out a way to tax the hell out of them?
Meanwhile the average Canadian stands on the sidelines and cheers.  After all, they aren't successful, isn't it the job of their government to ensure that no one is?


As an employer you can tell them what do do when they are at work.


I wonder if Musgroves included a Marijuana Potpourri warmer to complete the package deal.


This "hacking" statement by Trump is possibly the most overblown statement in this entire political campaign. For two countries that are considered rivals (Russia & US), I can guarantee our government has secretly tried to hack Russian communications and we may have even be successful. Russia trying to do the same thing to us should come as no surprise. Instead of being Hillary's fault for keeping e-mails on an unsecured server, its Trump's fault for saying to Russia release the e-mails so we can see them. Its actually a good sign that Putin and Trump seem to have a mutual understanding. Maybe it can improve our relations with Russia.


If you can identify one socialist country that raised its standard of living under socialism, your hedging comments about the left might have some merit, but please, don't try to pass off wealthy market based economies that can afford a rich array of socialist-style benefits as socialist countries.


i doubt I could list them all in 1000 words or less.


Contract work may seem appealing to those wanting to have flexibility or a diversity of roles but the reality is that in an economic downturn they are also the first jobs to get cut as there are generally no/few termination costs.


For the record, Ptolemy knew perfectly well the world was round. He just thought the sun went around the earth and not the other way around. So these people, if they are truly flat-earthers, are certainly not "Ptolemaic science revivalists" or whatever.


Actually, a Telsa will get you there and back no problem.


At least he's an American... obummer was fro Kenya.


Lets not forget the sacred Kennedy clan.


Gonna be more people experimenting once they know they can be brought out of whatever Heroin does for them.


exactly what i was thinking if we pay for the drilling with tax credits then Alaska should get a equity share of the well production.


The people spoke. Now quit trying to shut down a legal business and plan how to spend all of that tax revenue. ;)


Or how the CPC has "moved on " from Trudeau right?  LOL!!!


Wouldn't that be nice!!!!


Noam Chomsky, Amy Goodman, Jeremy Scahill, they rallied behind the Serbs and criticized the Clintons, so by your thinking, they must be Nazi white nationalists, too. What a hoot!


As I warned, be careful of a manufactured war as Trump fades in the polls and wants to scare people into taking his orders.  Nothing scares the poor back into line as claiming a war is needed.


Another "Open Secret"? Another "unsolved mysterious assassination": Olof Palme was murdered in Stockholm on the 28th February 1986.  See: @ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Olof_Palme#South_Africa - ; Just in case you think this is another "Conspiracy Theory" check the facts @ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Cooperation_Bureau. Craig Williamson, Eugene de Kock, Dirk Coetzee, Magnus Malan et alia know the real story. Ask them!


Practically speaking, Greenpeace et al. DO have more standing than HM Loyal Opposition.  Special interest groups can armtwist governments through popular opinion and lobbying whereas the Opposition only has its vote in the HOC.  In a majority government, the Opposition vote is quite futile.

Observe the shameless brainwashing of our youth by the David Suzuki alarmist films screened in schools vs. what transpires during Question Period.  Which do you think wields more power?


I thought Mitsubishi in Japan also signed some similar agreement years ago and that went nowhere. I'm hopeful but skeptical that anything different will happen this time around.


I hate defending a Trump mouth piece but any scan of the internet will show you that Hitler did not use chemical weapons during World War 2.  Both the Nazis and the Allies had large stockpiles available but neither side used what was available.  The Japanese did.

Using gas in the death chambers is not using gas as a weapon.  The Jews, male homosexuals, mentally disabled, Russian and other POW’s, Romani, clergy of many religions and others all died in the chambers but these murders were not used with what most consider weapons.

This mouthpiece can't express very well, but in this case his facts were real.


It will all change tomo when Trump is in front of a different crowd.  We just have to roll with it and work back channels -- which our govt seems to be doing, and well. Whew.


"Just like your Clinton voting speelling."

I appologize but I don't have my Right-Wing-Stupid decoder ring with me...


Hi there,
I beg to differ back. :)
You can use whatever semantics you like but again Comey had no spine.  Couldn't even give the notes to NYT himself.  Where were his notes on Hillary's meetin

Donald Trump can say whatever he wants to whomever as he is one of the few that has the right.  I am not the biggest fan of Donald (did not vote for him 1st time.  As a soldier, I can tell you he is running circles around the last guy in office who was basically toxic and in fact had to put an order out to his troops to stop talking trash about him. First time I have seen that in 26 years.  As far as Russia goes, they may not be our friends but  in many ways they are our partner.  Lastly, if the D's keep up Trump, they will get a real conservative Christian who will take many things away the D's hold so dearly such as roe vs wade.  On the flip side Trump cannot be impeached until after the midterms as the D's dont have anywhere close to the votes and Ryan would never bring it to up for debate.


They have lived their entire lives supported by the laity. No wives, no children, no pediatrician or day care or tuition bills. They impose their distorted understandings of marriage,sexuality, family, and children on those who support them in the style to which they are accustomed - as princes. The hypocrisy reeks.

 BUT, who is at fault for this?  Thirty million+ cradle Catholics in the US have left the RCC, or at least ceased to participate actively.  They, and their money, are gone, because the only voice lay Catholics have in their church is their money and their presence.  I read this site every day, even though I stopped participating as an active Catholic.  The RCC was a very important part of my life for 50+ years, and I can't totally ignore it. For one thing, the bishops try to impose their beliefs on ALL, not just Catholics. The one thing that amazes me is that so many Catholics complain - bitterly and rightly -  yet still write the checks that support the status quo. Why?


Actually tRUMPtyDUMPty (what is up with all these people hiding using aliases) this is very consistent with what Sen. Dunleavy has supported.  I also agree with his proposal to cut 300 million from the budget this year.  The house minority found over 300 million in budget cuts that could have been made this year that would not have harmed the economy.  (First on the chopping block should have been the 100 million budgeted for Gov. Walker's pipe dream.)  Unless he/she works for the governor, it is hard to find an economist who proposes taking 1.5 billion (PFD reduction and broad-based income tax) dollars out of an economy during a period of recession.


R.C. Harris put the rail platform on the Bloor Viaduct back in 1918 because it made sense on so many levels, he did it even though it wasn't used until 70 years later.

The other Harris, Mike the dunce cancelled the Eglinton subway back in 1995 because he wasn't very bright, that meant the millions already invested was lost and contractual penalties added to the cost, now the LRT costs way more then the subway would have.

Until we get more Harris's of the R.C. type, there will never be progress.


Zinke is the Queen of England apparently.  There are some entitled nuts in that administration.

As for Planned Parenthood, it does have too much influence on the DNC just like Evangelicals have too much influence on the RNC.  It is time to leave the culture wars behind.  They are tearing the country apart.


I plain don't understand what he's trying to say.


Lost in the discussion of Trump's deportation intentions is the fact that Obama deported almost 3 million people during his time in office. The population Trump has targeted appears to be around 1 million illegal immigrants who have criminal records - at least initially. Yes, his criteria and rhetoric are alarming, which is why we are seeing these border crossings in to Canada. But, that aside, his actions have not lived up to his words, which is a pattern consistent with much of his bombast. This trickle may yet turn to a flood and Canada must have a contingency to address this. It seems, premature however to panic about a German situation repeating itself here. I agree with Ms. Wente though about the limits of Canadian hospitality. If Trudeau flubs this test and pursues an "open door" policy that does not respect these limits the backlash will be severe and will have long standing. largely detrimental, repercussions for immigration and refugee policies here.


Free trade the un-needed headache.


McCain has milked the hero cow on all 4 teets.  How about Option C: they are both pigs?

Actually BP I frequent the Hale Kona often.  The Warriors Lounge is a pleasant spot to spend an evening.  Odd that I haven't seen you on the premises.  Are you military or DOD?


States challenged Obama's EOs and states will challenge Trump's EOs. There's nothing magical about being a Republican.


and as usual a bs lib troll spewing the usual crap, no lib loser, a peice of toast would be better for ontario over liberals, hence brown is a great alternative


Bubbles,

Just so you know, both of my sons have passed away as young men because of their significant disabilities, so there is no "I" want my Medicaid. If you read the article, you would see that Medicaid funding provides employment supports for people with disabilities who want to have the opportunity to work. As a result $48 M in wages earned and less dependence upon government supports. Not looking for a handout, but a hand up!


.
for 4 of them, it's not clear that's possible.  4 of them haven't the sense their Gods gave them.


I would suspect you will not find the CRA auditing Trudeau's buddies, especially the ones that are liberal bag men and fundraisers.

Don't forget that Trudeau and his ministers have complete control over the levers of power.


Aren't pensions protected in the US and Britain? Wouldn't this be a great way for the Liberals to show their love for the "Middle Class", ya right!!!


How are Egyptian slaves relevant to racism in today's United States?


Nobody's terrified, give it a rest. Well maybe Canada, with the impending invasion of American liberals and washed up movie stars.

So they're citizens? Good. I, for one, am glad we got that resolved.


Actually, Mr Yellin, the house of worship in question first said that it was taken out of context, then they said it was the fault of a temporary clergyman who had since left, then they called the person who had reported the video to police an islamophobe.


Call em yourself. Carl Davaz or John Easely. You wouldn't believe me no matter what they say.


There are two classes of workers in this country. The premier group are government workers with DB, amazing benefits and on average 18% more pay than the private sector (for comparable work). Then there are the rest of us that pay for the first group.

With the power of public service unions, it will take a revolution to correct this massive imbalance otherwise the socioeconomic issues will threaten our society. Put in more basic terms, we have to do something more than raising  the minimum wage to do something for the millions of people who work retail and other poor paying jobs so that they can live decent, secure lives.


That's not an unreasonable interpretation, in my opinion. But I'm not sure that it's the most likely one.

Comey is a seasoned investigator, the nation's top lawman and a deep Washington insider. By his own testimony, Comey was already on alert when he sat down with Trump. Was there something about the situation, or the words he heard from Trump, that would leave him speechless? I think not.


The only way to stop someone with a gun, is .... Drum roll .... Someone else with a gun. Rock, paper, scissors, bullets trump - always.


Canada's Old Age Pension was introduced in 1927, kicked in at age 70 and was means tested. http://www.historymuseum.ca/cmc/exhibitions/hist/pensions/cpp-m1915_e.shtml


"Canadian film and television ascend Whistler to ensure the industry’s gender-parity ...".

So basically, competence, qualifications, quality and experience get kicked to the curb.

Only in Canada! This gender-parity nonsense in all areas has got to stop before we become a laughing-stock.


"In other words, there was little of the bipartisan outrage that greeted President Richard Nixon when he fired special prosecutor Archibald Cox in 1973, leading to the resignations that became known as the "Saturday Night Massacre." Early Wednesday morning, Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn, a former judge and state attorney general, linked favorably to an op-ed about Democratic hypocrisy. (It ran in the Wall Street Journal, which like Fox News is owned by Rupert Murdoch's NewsCorp.)".

Of course there was little "bipartisan"  outrage.  There is little bipartisanship in the country thanks to the GOP and Putrumpski.  The GOP is backing a traitor and anyone who doesn't see that is blind.

I watched Cronyn get his ass handed to him by Sally Yates in the hearing.  He didn't have a prayer going up against a smart, experienced, principled woman of integrity. He's about as partisan and a vitriolic good ole boy, misogynistic, old white man as they come.


Zuma is the RSA equivalent to Mugabe.  He will only leave when he dies from old age


To get the surgery, candidates are screened psychologically. Again, no moral issue. Medical practice ethical issues? Sure. But nothing that deserves the cultural response it gets save for its relationship to gay rights, even though it is not a gay thing. Both issues cover such small groups of people (as opposed to child poverty, which is huge), the wisdom of addressing them at all bespeaks scapegoating, not concerns for the moral development of either trans or gay people. They provide an enemy within to distract from real problems, like capitalistic exploitation of both workers and consumers.


What terminology would you use?  "skepticism" implies the existence of a plausible competing model, and it doesn't.   Climate change "deniers" are not providing evidence that the observed change is natural. They simply deny that it's human, or that it's occurring at all.


Nothing was more important to Jesus Christ than treating disfavored minorities like s**t.


Shameful action against relatives and friends of those accused in China, but this is still commonplace. Punishing relatives of the accused is inexcusable and supposedly against Chinese law. However Chinese law is meant to protect the government and the CCP, not its citizens. We Canadians should not tolerate such human rights transgressions if and when an extradition program is discussed with China.


(Part one of two)  Results from the St. Leo University Polling Institute in September show that a majority of Americans, over 56 percent, greatly trust their police departments and officers, while about one-fifth to one-quarter have little or no trust, according to an Oct. 9 press release by the university.—James Dearie  That between 20 and 25% of the people have little or no trust in their police departments.  That is terrible.  Referring to Juda and Jerusalem, but in this case referring to ordinary citizens, “I will avenge their blood (i.e. the reason they are not trusting the police), and not leave it unpunished.  The LORD dwells in Zion” (Joel 4:21), i.e., in the Faithful.


Many cities and corporations said they will move ahead with energy conservation anyway.  So why did we need a Paris Accord?  We have done more than any country in the world.  Why do the taxpayers of the U.S. have to send $3 billion a year to countries like China and India who are not required to do anything for years?  The Paris Accord has no, repeat, no penalties for not following the terms of the Accord.  It's an honor system.  Can you believe it?  An honor system!  Many advised Trump to stay in the agreement and just not follow it rather than leaving it.   What a joke.  One of the worst Secretary's of State, Kerry, said kids will have asthma because of it.  HA! HA! HA! CNN said we have abdicated our role as the world's leader.  FakeNews.com and it's many wholly owned subsidiaries are throwing a massive tantrum which is hilarious to watch.  The scary thing is, many people believe them.  The world is pissed because the dumb, rich kid, just got smart.


How about divided into "Canadians and Canada first" and everyone else ?


Did I miss something or did this article not mention any numbers related to foreign buyers (which, should be foreign cash, not the buyer, but I digress...) Any word on how the tax has been applied thus far, or how many purchases will have the tax applied, are the numbers changing at all on how many "foreign buyers" are flooding the market?

But seriously, why aren't they tracking the origin of the money instead of the buyer?


They realise that labelling critics of unlimited immigration as "racist" doesn't work any longer. Now they are "far-right", "xenophobic" or "populist".


Like the Capstone MUPTE, Carrier obviously needed $7 million in tax incentives (at whose expense?) to keep 1,000 jobs - or is it 850 jobs?

the only failure are the antis, they tried to sabotage the project several times, increasing the cost by over $2 billion.  yet, their efforts were for naught.  they are a bunch of cry babies and losers.  they are malicious and vindictive, cannot accept defeat.


My point was meant to be that the writer is basically calling Trump a liar and then using logic that an EPA job is the same as as a production job that produces energy to heat homes., etc. Faulty logic used to call him a liar. Even if the extreme where you would try to argue they are of similar value, a reasonable person could see the logic rather than to demonize him for
"Rhetoric" rather than "facts". A job that produces energy far outweighs one that does not. The regulator lives off of a percentage of the producer's efforts. Thereby, like a leech, sucking the lifeblood from its host, who eventually turns from healthy to unhealthy as more and more leeches pile on to the feeding trough.


Outsider, your assumptions are incorrect; I am doing all I can personally to reduce my carbon footprint, from family gardening, raising chickens, and cycling to a family electric car - a 2012 Volt, which is amazing and averages over 220 mpg. Your dismissal by hyperbole and attacks on the messengers' credibility is a sign of flawed logic. There are now 1 million electric vehicles on the road and we cannot move in that direction fast enough. For those who dismiss electric, and the solar, hydro, wind future, simply study EVs and open your mind to the possibilities.  We need both individual and institutional efforts to shift the current bias (and massive subsidies) for dirty, expensive fossil fuels toward a cleaner, economically vibrant renewable energy future.


If you put your faith in the evaluation skills of the handsomely paid coaches, as you did below when you criticized someone else for expressing an opinion as merely a fan with no expertise, are you saying Oregon blew it by offering Herbert a scholarship? Can we see your recruiting credentials, please?


Agreed.


Another fool who wants live 24/7 coverage of every move the police make during an investigation. Surely none of those being looked for would ever think of checking that information to aide in alluding capture.


And you support tRump who never served in the military and has the balls to brag that his bedroom escapades were his Vietnam; he mocked Senator McCain for being a war hero, and then goes on a two-week rant bashing away at Mr. and Mrs. Khan's purple heart son who gave his life for his fellow soldiers, and caps this past week off by flirting with the idea that Hillary should be assassinated?  Is that what you want, Traut?  And you don't even raise a question of how tRump intends to make America great again.  I'll burst your bubble, Traut, and clue you in that anything that comes out of tRump's mouth is nothing but a campaign slogan.


Fortunately for the rest of us, Trump and Rand are the opposite. Trump promised a solid gold plan, then tried to hand us a gilded turd. Rand promised to agree to certain conditions but then moved the goal posts. The result? The Republicans have not destroyed the ACA yet. Rand's right. If they destroy it, they will own it.


Any chance we could have a "Ides of March" situation, I am sure many would play Brutus.


Just maybe the reason is that six Muslims were just murdered in cold blood simply because of their faith  in this wonderfully tolerant Canada.


Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal are huge multi cultural societies that are the biggest part of Canada's Pop.   Then we have Rural areas that are underemployed ,lily white and often anti education. What do you expect?" Duh ...why don't I get hired in High Tech? I can hunt and fish and drive a ski doo?"
So then we discourage education and become coal miners?


What is the new sale price for Canada? Will it be quoted in yuan or Canadian dollars?

Absolutely not a smug doctor. He is a tremendous asset to our community. The patient had rare blood infection with no evidence that it was in her system when she went in, but according to the reporter,  methamphetamines were. Sounds like something she could have contracted after leaving the ER and sticking another dirty needle in her body.


My sincere wish, Mr. Meyer, is that the voters remove you at their earliest opportunity. You are part of what's wrong in our government.


I read it all.  Agree with The Emperor's Paparazzi.  It started BEFORE she was born, when her parents chose her name.

Don't get me wrong: they had every right to call her anything they wanted.  Every decision has consequences. On this issue, wait a few years and ask the adults whose parents named them Rainbow, Daisy Boo and Petal Blossom.


Or maybe they just shouldn't do drugs.  The world would be a better place without the lowlife homeless bums.


No sympathy for his victims - just himself.  I feel sorry for them, not him.


They knew or should have known it was going to happen when they invited him. But it doesn't seem they made any efforts to minimize Trump's offensiveness. It probably would have been wasted effort to ask Trump to stay on message or at least keep the self-backpats to a minimum but at least it would have provided some rhetorical CYA. Nor do I give them a pass for their appeal to tradition. If there is one defining characteristic that can be said about Trump's administration is that it breaks from traditional norms.


Millions of refugees are fleeing the despotic religious turmoil in the Mideast and corrupt socialist governments of South America for a better life. The youth of Chicago should take their cue from them.


"The White House refused comment, calling the 125-page document posted online by the news site Vox an “alleged draft.”
Would that make it a "fake draft?"


They say they are "of the larger Eugene community". That just means they come from all over Eugene, not that they are speaking for everyone.


Lets start with the state funds used to keep the airports, Anchorage and Deadhorse operating.   All those traveling to and from the slope are using them and paying nothing to the state coffers.   We subsidize the Alaska Railroad and the highways that brings materials to Fairbanks; plus the cost of the roads to the slope.  The port facilities where supporting materials arrive for the slope.   Without all of these items  there  there would be no jobs.


2be4peace-where's your outrage for the 57 Muslim majority countries that have not opened their doors to any of these "refugees"? All of your outrage seems to be reserved for our new President. The Syrian crisis escalated under the former administration and was ignored by our former President.


There is still a chance..  Lets hope it happens.


" In fact, the entire “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” protest was based on a lie. Michael Brown did not have his hands up when he was shot in Ferguson, Mo."

Perhaps, but the final kill shot was straight down through the top of Brown's head, a fact the cop lied about in his testimony to the grand jury. Normally, when a potential suspect lies to the grand jury, there will be charges brought so that the truth can be sorted out in a trial. But the grand jury process in Ferguson was obviously a sham run by the DA, designed to get the cop off the hook. And that is the problem. The PROCESS of justice was denied, so people, especially minorities, can't trust the cops or the entire legal justice system. And that is a condition they were very used to in Ferguson, as evidenced by MANY examples of police targeting blacks there with no repercussions and no justice.


Fox supports Trump, he's elected, now Fox is falling apart.  These are strange times.

contravention of PPS and TSSA safety requirements.

I've repeatedly contacted TSSA and the Province as well... no concern from them, either, which actually came as a surprise to me. I'm not a cynical person and fully expected that senior officials would be upset to see their safety requirements being so regularly and so blatantly ignored.

At any given time some businesses (10%) are operating at break even or withstanding modest losses in hopes of better days ahead.  Changing the minimum wage and increasing CPP have now put these businesses and ALL their jobs in jeopardy.  Labour costs should NEVER be assessed in isolation from all other business factors.


When will Putin withdraw his military from Ukrainian soil?

When will Putin announce compensation for the destruction of infrastructure in Ukraine by his military?

When will he announce reparations to Ukraine for the thousands of Ukrainians his military has killed?


Yes.  It is sad because there does need to be more policy prescriptions to help especially with the opiod addiction and job training.  Trump gave them a 2 minute hate and some convenient scapegoats rather than real prescriptions to help such communities.


Skeexix, you are clearly a very wise and wonderful person.


"Prayers for the families in Quinhagak today. 3 heroin overdoses, very serious," Bethel resident Gerry Graves posted Tuesday"
   So, how are those prayers working out? Why didn't the Almighty stop those overdoses?
So archaic and selfish to think prayers are the ultimate fix for everything. It's a placebo to fool the one who prays. I might as well throw some table salt over my left shoulder while I'm at it. Do something real, folks.


You wouldn't know a troll if you looked in the mirror.


I think it's a fair enough question. Most commenters throw around all these labels assuming they refer to something concrete, without ever talking about anything particular.

Funny how nobody has taken up the challenge.


Comey says ‘I hope there were tapes’ on Trump meeting. Yes because fired Democrat FBI Director Comey has been taping it too, as the new pending lawsuit against him asserts.

If you'd recall that beginning in 2008 there was a world financial crisis that required some large bailouts especially in the auto industry in Canada. At the time the Liberals and NDP wanted even larger deficits. What is it about our current economy that requires such emergency size deficits?


Violent prisoners with life sentences should be mandatory donors rather than sit and rot in prison the rest of their lives at our expense.

I was referencing the killers action of waving a confederate flag at a school and football game.  Some would say that it is right, freedom of speech.  So his racist hatred is cloaked in freedom.  Because he felt his 'freedoms' were denied he then took it to the next level and created a more egregious act.


Congratulations to the upholders of political correctness for switching it to cultural appropriation from cultural genocide.  Toning down the rigidness of thought control.  Standing O.


It is with great sadness that I learn of Dwight's passing. I met him as he recovered scrap metal from the auto shops in worked in. I always looked forward to his visits, and, his voice. Time moved me to another shop and I always found myself looking for him around town. I loved seeing him on the serenity lane commercial. Dwight, I do miss our visits..


Since it will never find anything.


What on earth does "degense of jer jrto" mean?  I mean, if you actually know, of course......

As to the rest of your comment?  Nonsense, as usual.  I notice you don't address the issues raised by my post, as usual....just spin what you think I said - and as always, you have spun it incorrectly.

Here's a thought.  Why don't you let me speak for myself?  I actually am well able to....and then you won't have to try to explain what you obviously have no clue about....and you won't be forced to stretch credulity.


LOLers are children or nincompoops.


Canada aims for higher standards than Saudi Arabia.


stop the indians from killing everything, First!


There is also the issue of special prosecutors.  From what I remember they were created when there was evidence of a problem as with the Watergate break-in.  From what I have read, there is no evidence of collusion, it is just being looked for.  What there is evidence of is repeated leaking of classified documents. I wonder if that should have a special prosecutor.


Had Senator Beyak stuck to the subject that she was supposed to speak to...(the increasing over-representation of indigenous women in Canadian prisons) she might have avoided all this press.  But she wandered all over the place, talking about residential schools, the Langevin Block, Mohawk Chief Bryant and his slave ownership in the 1800's, and even went overtime with her speech....twice.

She clearly demonstrated why the old way of appointing senators was wrong....unless we want to see a senate with an average IQ less than flowering plants.


VW should 'fix' and then offer to loan out all of these to people who lost vehicles in the flooding in TX. 3 months discounted lease with option to buy for steep discount afterward.


"Then why, one might ask, have children in Waimea been sickened by pesticide drift from neighboring GE test fields?"

Because it wasn't pesticide drift, and you have produced zero, exactly zero evidence, to demonstrate that.  You've merely asserted it as fact because in your mind, if you believe something, magically it becomes true and everyone else should believe in it too.

What we really should be talking about is the fact that the "Center for Food Safety" is actually a political lobbying organization and not an "educational" non-profit.  Your primary purpose is to influence legislation and politicians -- let's just be honest about that fact for once in your life.

I'm all for more transparency, but I think it should work both ways.  You should be more transparent about the lack of evidence to support your beliefs rather than exaggerating it.  You claim residents are being "poisoned" but haven't produced any evidence to that effect.  You're lying to the public.


I am a Markham resident. I can tell you that 9.1% is understated by a couple of orders of magnitude in our area (Unionville). I would not be surprised if it were closer to 50-60%.

For years Markham Council members have tried to debunk the claims that offshore investors are causing the real estate frenzy. The position of developers is well known and our council has always favoured developers in these debates. I am glad that some facts are being collected but I hope they will not be distorted by sloppy reporting by the media (previously announced 4.7%). I would encourage the G&M to dig deeper to understand this data and not just parrot what the Province releases in a Press Release. Ask questions please.


How about exposing the lies of Kathleen Wynne too? She is not as enlightened as she is made out to be.

The aftermath certainly has been. If you think that most Americans love living in chronically uncertain times because there's an incompetent, ignorant, unpredictable, lying, spoiled nut-job man-child at the helm, better think again.  Because of the nutter for whom you voted, we're on the verge of nuclear war with his Korean counterpart. Our allies have to hold their collective noses in Trump's presence in order to be able to stomach him; our enemies hate us more than ever and the rest of the world rightly thinks we're complete idiots.  Health care for millions is threatened, social security & Medicare are threatened, our educational system is threatened; our very way of life is threatened by the nihilist installed by his equally deluded Chicken Little freaks. If you think people are enjoying the 24/7 anxiety caused by the nutter in the White House, you're sadly mistaken.


Gosh, how did humanity ever survive long enough to make it to someone writing Genesis?  We're talking thousands of years here.  I think humanity can manage if everyone cares enough about everyone's children to see that they make it to adulthood to have their own children.  Maybe that's how humanity survived until someone wrote Genesis.


".. 34 states that already have ... one thing in common-- lower taxpayer cost and better early childhood literacy than Alaska."  You know what else they have in common? No wild Polar bears! Meaning what? Meaning that you already stated Alaska was dead last in 4th grade NAEP scores so the 15 states that don't have "private sector educational choice opportunities" [from the Frank Luntz 'Mellifluous Fluff to Impress Dingbats Primer'] also have "better early childhood literacy than Alaska". So much for the implication of correlation.  Nice try Bob - actually it was a pretty flimsy try. Have a Koch and a smile.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan said two days ago, "Climate change is one of the biggest risks to humanity."  Innocent people are being slaughtered all over the world, including in his own country and he's worried that the climate may change in the next 100 years?

His response to the recent attack, "This was a deliberate and cowardly attack, "I condemn it in the strongest terms,"  "There is no justification of such barbaric acts."  Strange how the words Muslim or Islam or Islamic terrorists or Islamic extremists or anything relating to Islam is mentioned.  Strange.

If 25.2%  to 33% of the students aren't even there, the teachers whining for more money because of huge class sizes are just blowing smoke!

A 36-person class room is only a 24-person classroom!

The other 12 'students' don't really exist!

They aren't judged on graduation rates, they aren't judged on test results and they aren't judged for not educating the 66% to 75% who actually are there!

It's win-win-win!

Also interesting, and troubling, is the 75 million dollar Denver Health expansion project put to the voters. Some years ago Denver Heath became an Authority removing it from the City of Denver government system. Denver Health has issued many bonds since for capital projects and managed its own debt. Why now is this independent entity asking the City of Denver to assume the debt for another capital expansion?  This doesn’t seem right.

The F-22s were there to do what, exactly? Shoot down the civilian airplane and murder every person on board?

America needs to have a conversation about the use of deadly force against a passenger airplane.  Do the politicians plan to shoot down a passenger plane that is not following a flight plan?


Olrun Horde--

Just because "evil" oil companies have picked up the tab for state spending levels that would otherwise require the highest state income taxes AND highest state sales taxes in the US, doesn't mean we need to increase our property taxes, that are already among the highest in the US.

According to the latest data from the nonpartisan Tax Foundation, Anchorage is in the 91st percentile of highest property taxes in the US, when local property tax payments are compared to local median income (a pretty good proxy for the difference in cost of living between communities).

Close the Tax Cap loophole --for good

Having no information or evidence, I'm not going to speculate idly but there are a lot of suspiciously strange things about this whole story. I hope there is adequate and timely investigation of the circumstances.


I don't think any of this is driven by consumer demand. Most people would be happy to just have a dock and an in-dash screen for their smartphone.

Plus, what going to happen to this in 5 years? Imagine driving around with a 'floppy drive and dial-in modem" bolted into your dash. That what was still common in 99, and many of these cars are still on the road. There isn't a way to update any of these infotainment systems.

Darryl Freeman-- Waiau chief on parole, making restitution --
http://archives.starbulletin.com/1999/12/22/news/whatever.html

Star-Bulletin, 1999: “Question: What ever happened to Darryl Freeman, the former Waiau battalion fire chief sentenced in 1993 to state and federal prison terms involving convictions for theft, firearms violations, tax evasion, mail fraud and racketeering to defraud insurance companies with false claims of stolen cars? Why was his house not confiscated as his sentencing indicated?

Answer: Freeman was paroled on his state term April 24, 1996, and was released from his federal sentence on Oct. 4 this year.  "He is under supervision with us and serving a term of supervised release," said Betty Taylor, chief U.S. probation officer, District of Hawaii.

Since there is an opportunity to offer an opinion about this weather forecast, I thought I'd take it.  Heck, my opinion is worth something, right? Right?
While the fog was expected to burn off at 10:00 AM, we never had ANY fog. How do I "feel" about that? Disappointed in the accuracy. Happy with the sun.
The high of today was predicted at 61 degrees but the actual now is 65. Again, disappointing forecast. Happy with outcome.
Given the failed forecasts, how can I believe the prediction for tomorrow? This shakes my entire confidence in the RG and by logical extension, predictions of climate change. After all, are not meteorologists really just near-term climatologists who are paid to create "fear" that we'll have fog all the way to 10 AM? And if they can't get the day's high correct, how can these short term climatologists predict global warming? My friends did not predict fog and don't predict climate change. Are we going to trust the educated elite or the people we trust? (satire)

Why are you so against common sense police oversight and reasonable rules of engagement? Police in the United States are far more deadly than their counterparts in other industrialized nations. There seems to be lack of education and training. We need more of both. As for accountability from the "bad guy", listen to what you are saying! Of course the police should be more accountable than the bad guy. It is a major difference between the two. Police are (or should be )  held to a higher standard.

Who does that? Somebody who's just not that into the person they're dating. Some guys choose women that they aren't "really into" on purpose, it gives them all the power. (Yes, women do it, too.) If she's looking for the real thing, she hasn't found it with him, IMO.

It would make more sense to revisit the controversial stock option deduction that you failed to tax because it would hurt your Bay Street friends.  Incorporation was given to physicians in lieu of fee increases.  Your above comments now increase the amount of "income" to $300,000 as opposed to your previous comparison of neighbours in the $200,000 range, but you have now chosen to compare professionals to government paid employees who have no overhead expenses, and have  pensions, benefits, etc.,  They  have taken no risk in setting their businesses.  Unfair.

Perhaps controlling spending would be a worthy alternative to explore as well.

The cost of deportation:
"Each deportation conducted by ICE cost taxpayers an average of $10,854 in fiscal 2016, an official from the agency told CNNMoney. This amount includes everything from housing and feeding a detainee to transporting him back to his home country...."
http://money.cnn.com/2017/04/13/news/economy/deportation-costs-undocumented-immigrant/index.html
There are approximately 11,000,000 undocumented people in the USA.  This includes many people from Europe: "The Pew Research Center estimates that there are 475,000 to 500,000 unauthorized immigrants from Europe in the United States, including around 50,000 in New York City...."

Stores are afraid to do anything for fear of being sued. I've seen ESA owners get media attention when turned away, forcing the companies who were within their rights to back peddle for fear of losing customers.
 Almost every media story i've seen recently is either an ESA or total fake dog with "certification" papers who refused to answer the store's questions. Whoever is supposed to be going after fake dogs on a federal level should just search " service dog denied" and they'd have a good starting place.
I've suggested to the Justice Dept a Federal Disability Cert Card  that physicians can give to people who meet the ADA requirements as Disabled and need a SD.  At that point the dog is medical equipment as designed without disclosing any personal info and stopping people faking disabilities in their tracks. Instead of asking the 2 questions stores simply ask to see the card. At that point, all dogs get turned away if the card can't be presented. Please do the same if you like it.

That a paper mill worker who is opposed to say marijuana litigation might support a party that favours it, is similar to the situation in the USA.

TRUMP HAVE ALREADY DECIDED TO HIT NORTH KOREA, START KOREAN WAR 2.

All propaganda are noise. All pretax are hot air. Trump wants war and he will get war. A real honest war which will blow up Korea. The North know this day will come and have been preparing for decades. It know the U.S. will finally get a president who wants war, but knows nothing about war. The perfect guy to start Korean War 2.

So folks, sit back and watch Korean War 2. We know how North Korea will fight - for its national survival. We will find out how Trump will fight - for his glory.


Pickard will almost certainly replace McElhinney as the back-up at some point this season.  If the latter stinks out the joint tonight, then it might be as soon as tomorrow.

And for my money, Pickard is just as good as Andersen, and Your Leafs management knows as well as anybody that had Andersen played well last playoffs, they beat Wash 1st round, and then who knows after that.

Fortunately, for Rogers, et al, the fan base is hockey illiterate--well, not all of them, but more than 1/2--no clue.  Guy makes a stop at a key juncture in the game, and he's good for life as far as Your Leafs fans are concerned.
