Random interpretations?

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

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

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


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


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


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


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


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

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

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


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


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


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


Thank you!


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


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

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


Lordy, this is all much ado about nothing.

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


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

Hanneman's analogy about Ige being the conductor on a train is about the only true thing he's ever said.

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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


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


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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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


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


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


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


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


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

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


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


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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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


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


It sure seems that way.  I see it too.


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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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


My position is straight forward, stop the Bolsheviks (some people call them progressives) from telling us what to do with our own bodies (does that sound familiar?)

The most astounding aspect of this whole sorry saga is that JZ783 still wants people to respect him


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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

Along with the considerable good work Deady did, and his  personal growth over his life,  we need to remember the dark side as well:
 1. He was Oregon's strongest advocate for slavery.  2. Slavery was a horrifying system and the biggest issue  in American history, leading to that brutal Civil War.  3. Had the overwhelming majority of Oregonians not opposed  Deady Oregon would have been a slave state, a "Border State" like Missouri, leading to massive misery and destruction here.  4. Even after Oregonians rejected slavery in 1857 he continued to endorse it.  5.  Even after the Civil  War he privately praised slavery in his diary.
So yes, it was the correct decision but not an easy one.


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


Quebec doesn't allow all wines in their grocery stores, and the main condition is that must be bottled in Quebec. The wine arrives by tanker and you used to be able to go down to the dock area, with your own bottles and 'fill up".


And Trump should be fired if his tweets are insensitive, childish, and demented...


Those of us who know how the Denver Post slants it's news, would not expect it to cover anything that sheds a bad light on our mayor and his administration.
Let's stick to sports; this is Bronco country.


Is anyone surprised that socialism has no place in the US?  All that money spent on bad law with bad results and Dems still call it a success.


Self-segregation happens.  Jewish people like to live among other Jews, for instance.  And "White flight" is a legitimate term in the Social Sciences today.  Nothing controversial about these phenomena, although many do not like that they exist.


Surely a sign that somethings not right
Perhaps a bad cold or a nasty bugs bite,
but Trump bashing has become a crazy obsession,
a very unhealthy backwards regression,
with no working cure in sight.


Oh, you poor little thing...


The exploding deficit is the biggest betrayal.  Shades of his father.


Where in the article does it say that he "never learned English"? He used an interpreter in court. Good idea,no?


We already do lots.  From NATO mission to Iraq to all of our humanitarian assistance, etc.


–Bill Clinton "had to pay an $850,000 fine to one of the women. Paula Jones, who's also here tonight." -Trump so trump lied, it wasn't a fine it was hush money. Actually most of the worst things I heard about HRC was from Obama when they were running against each other.

“Bob Mueller did a great job as FBI director. I don’t question his integrity at all, but he has to be careful not to create the impression of partiality.”
Looks like we now have a new definition of partiality: "going after guilty parties."


Yikes!

You should be careful admiting to that kind of behavior. Your surperior degree and all......


ethical liberals an oxymoron


YA !!! SHAME--- NOW--MOVE TO my village and cure all of our corporate ills also---we got seals too--don't brutally club em tho--only brutally shoot and harpoon em---yay !!!


I have bad news for you, the world changes.


Assuming that all homeless are mentally ill or that the mentally ill can't be helped is a great way to obsolve your community (and yourself) for failing to act. Fear makes it easier to marginalize entire populations. Adequate support of those with mental health issues is also something Eugene is sorely lacking. Perhaps we could try to do better on both issues. It isn't impossible. It isn't even all that hard, but we need to start now.  Just because solutions aren't pretty doesn't mean they aren't viable.


It is always helpful if you state facts, when raising such questions, whether you are a visible minority or not.  First of all, a Canadian citizen's child,  born outside of Canada, is not a Canadian Citizen unless their parents were themselves born in Canada or who were first immigrants. So they can't just move back. I was born in Canada.  If I have a child born outside of Canada, their children (my grandchildren!)  born outside of Canada are not citizens.
Second, after immigration to Canada, a person must stay in Canada for two years out of five, or they lose status.  To get citizenship, you now need to be in Canada for three years out of five.  There is no escaping the rules anymore, now that the eTA system is in place.
Finally, there is no evidence existing anywhere that the 3.0 million Canadians living outside of Canada are coming back - in fact, the numbers keep growing. There are a lot of facts that explain why - you should check them out before assuming the worst.


This is just a devastating story.  I hope Ms Zorawski's son is satisfied with himself.  He basically lured dirtbags to his house to murder his mom.  Choices have consequences.


Washington’s blueberry growers launched the www.superblues.net website for consumers to locate family friendly U-pick farms and farm stands statewide for farm fresh blueberries.

So much hatred from those trying to defend their indoctrination!  Don't know what ignited in me, but I'm so happy to not be a brainwashed moran.

Love to all.


typical lies and ignorance. see it before


That Big Book O' Quotes is really coming in handy!


Unless the trade deal is with China, then it's all somehow okay.  BTW when are the Liberals going to stop allowing oil purchases from Saudi, the most sexist country on earth?  Isn't that also a trade deal?


So you are still hanging on to the idea that it wasn't Clinton's personal email server use that was a problem?  It was the fault of hackers.

She has no point.  She should be in jail.


Wente barely touches the tip of the iceberg, the issues in the Netherlands started about 15 years ago with the assassination of Pim Fortuyn (an open homosexual who rejected the far right but was vocal in his concerns about political Islam and integration). Then there was Theo van Gogh, a Dutch filmmaker who was assassinated in 2004 while riding his bike by Islamist terrorists who objected to his documentary "Submission" (written by the secular activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali). No, these issues are not new but the mainstream media has ignored the societal regression in western Europe over the last 15 years out of a misguided duty to political correctness and this has only made the situation worse. Political correctness has real impacts, just google the depressing story on Rotherham in the UK. Western Europe needs to have an honest discussion about integration if they want to stop the trend of societal regression because no-go zones are not a rightwing conspiracy theory, they are very real.


Because someone offers a different position on an issue than you---you tell them to take pills ?  How classless.


You're a tourist with money.   Many of the immigrants are either extremely poor, or fear for their lives in corrupt nations.   I don't see any equivalency at all between the two.
======
I don't want to bring terrorist here anymore than you do.    Why in heaven's name would think otherwise?

Do you think I haven't considered how I'd feel if one of my children was killed by terrorist?

But REALITY tells me I should be worried about their driving on American highways far more than worrying about a terrorist bombing.
======
You blanket fear of Muslims is exactly the result the terrorist were seeking.   They want you fearful, they want you angry, they want you to give them higher status.

I've got no fear at all of my national sovereignty being threatened by thugs brainwashed by religious hogwash.     *Nor do I trust Christians who turn quickly to violence to solve conflict then claim God is on their side.

Stay Calm, Carry On


Yeah, calling racists, misogynists and homophobes "deplorable" is entirely the wrong thing to do. We should embrace all those things and hate our neighbors.


A man may have been suspected of stealing a car years ago, should that suspicion be allowed as inference of his guilt he stole the car he is accused of today? No, he should be tried solely on the facts presented on the case today, not suspicions of what people think he may have did years ago, with no proof having been tried on the merits thereof, then today offered as if it being true today of an unrelated event due to time lapsed, it's just a suspicion!

 When does  suspicion cross over to become a fact to draw inference of guilt in an event years later, without even a trial of those suspicions and their truth established?

Just my thoughts as a layman.


An error.
He didn't mean to; just one day there they were on in the payroll!


Disfiguring uncovered women is just a part of Islam. It isn't a "terrorist" attack in that sense, because it's just part of being a regular Muslim.

These are the moderates we hear so much about.


Trump got more Electoral College Seats, but Clinton got 3 million more votes. That reflects an unhealthy state of democracy in the USA. Time for them to learn from France about voting for Presidents.


This is not the time to enforce the law; this is the time to change the law so that the system can cope with the volume.

Doctors must be permitted to extra  bill at market rates after satisfying a minimum number of medicare billable  hours--- say 25 hours per week over 45 weeks per year.

And hospitals must meet a number of medicare hours per year too, determined by the budget allocation they get from the government.  Thereafter, they can charge doctors for services... such as OR use... this will enable them to create business plans to expand services based on anticipated extra billings.  The additional expansion will  come from private fees and add to the government funded hospital services.


Okay. I respectfully disagree.


Actually, there is a quite adequate supply of good old "MARKIN" trolls!


I'm not sure what conditions must be met to elevate the top tax level to 92% that experts and accountants are arguing with their worst case scenario, but paying taxes between 70% to over 90% on anything is outright robbery.

Your company essentially becomes the host for this parasitic government that drains you dry. On top of the excessive taxation the Liberals still leave the burden of you having to pay the annual accountant and lawyer fees to keep the company living for them if you have anything left after they get done with you. The only thing that can be done is leave the money sit idle until a far better Conservative government gets elected.

Why motivate yourself trying to get ahead in Canada when you know the Liberals suffocate your business until there's nothing left?


Rmiller101,

Just like the odds of Trump winning the presidency were  80% against the man.

I love how the "Valley" comes down for a weekend and doesn't catch their limit then it has to be the poor fool just trying to make a living fault. Guess they will all starve to death..... the dip net fishery is they worst case of gluttony I have ever witnessed.


This is an extremely difficult scenario for the US and coalition forces to deal with. It is the equivalent of a mass-scale hostage situation. The ISIS forces need to be forced out without killing thousands of civilians but how? You need well-trained ground forces to methodically go through. Air strikes can never be "surgical" in Mosul with ISIS mixing themselves together with civilians. Tragically, civilian casualties will happen no matter what. This needs to be a primarily Iraqi army operation to avoid political blow-back for the West.


Not in Canada, that I'm aware.

The union has a collective agreement until the end of 2019, I believe.  Its members cannot just start bargaining with the City, nor can city managers join with them to bargain with the city.  That's against the law.

My first, ever, comment in the Dispatch. This looks so awesome! Just had to say it.


Another criminal off the streets.....for now.


That is exactly my point.  He ministered to Mary Magdalene, a prostitute.  And, if He's in the basket of deplorables as you claim, he's no doubt ministering to the prostitutes contained therein (e.g. you and Richard Spencer).  Less attractive prostitutes no doubt, but prostitutes nonetheless.  A true testament to His infinite grace and unending love.  Amen.


This is all rather interesting.  In my opinion, Incentives may entice those on the who are on the cusp to purchase into the aforementioned projects.  However, personally I don't find value in using these incentive(s) to purchase a "home" (not to be confused with investment).   Per the, "...offers to pay for the sale commission expense of a homeowner who sells their home and buys a Ward Village condo. Pisetsky said there are some limits on the commission amount in case the condo buyer sells a home worth far more than the condo they purchase."....is this the full sales commission?  Keep it simple...I remember back in the mid-70's we (the Buyer) were offered a $5,000 credit that you could book against your taxes owed or use it to offset the sales price.  Perhaps price reduction is something developers should consider and sell it as part being part of the "Buy American and / or new "Tax Break" policy to minimize and backlash from earlier buyers. Just saying...


Totally agree !


Not likely.  You can hear an echo of all the promises made by the oil industry before the Exxon Valdez incident.  Promises can be very hollow, as many who lived here found out.


Audit the foundations

A mistake for the Republican Party.  At least require registration with the Party six months before the Primary.


Too soon, too young.  2016 has been dreadful in terms of so many things, including the passing of greats! RIP.


Clinton was wrong.  The people who voted for Trump were not "deplorables" it is the people he appointed who are.

One promise he did make was to get rid of lobbyists.  Tax cuts skewed to the wealthy, deregulation, more money for the military/industrial complex, reduced spending on social programs, charter schools, increased border security, regressive social legislation, combined with arch conservative supreme court appointments will make much of the current lobbying agenda redundant.


Cut the dementia BS. My mother died of it and your intended insult streak has long worn out.
Anyone who disagrees with you gets labeled demented, which is 99% of the forum.


I think porn has been with us from, at least, the beginnings of recorded history.  I'm not sure, but I'd guess there may be cave drawings of pornographic acts.  Here's a link to an interesting article regarding pornography "://books.google.com/books?id=wfNBQP2UaMEC&pg=PA623&lpg=PA623&dq=what+leads+to+enjoying+pornography&source=bl&ots=sX9IjyWlb4&sig=UqeWUh4_of3maIhtSvzPHAdmxLU&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjAt4j_nZHXAhXowFQKHUf4BqEQ6AEIRzAF#v=onepage&q=what leads to enjoying pornography&f=false"  As the article notes, pornography demeans and objectifies women....they're "tools" for men's enjoyment...feeding the ego and the libido.

From all my interation with Christian Right-wingers, they tend to be sexist and misogynistic....(note those qualifiers, I'm sure there are some CR individuals who treat women very well).  (cont)


Right on the money this time John! Agreed with many of your picks, especially Mansbridge, Wesley, Trudeau (so sad!), O'Leary, Can Tire's Gary. Won't make much difference however; too many big egos involved . . .


Math correction re. UCP vote:

Kenney    35,623
Jean          18,336
Schweitzer 4,273
----------------------
TOTAL of 58,232 votes cast out of possible 100,000 members

58,232 or even 100,000 UCP members out of 2.5 million voter pool doesn't guarantee a majority vote in the next election for the UCP. The reality is 42% of the members didn't cast ballots in the UCP election, some former PC MLA's won't support Kenney, and progressives in the party may have second thoughts about the amalgamation and go elsewhere.


Stop pretending the protests are about the flag or the military or whatever you feel more comfortable steaming about.
Start talking about how to address the continuing problems of institutionalized bigotry.


Scrutinize it to see if there are any more "donations" to the Trudeau foundation... What a joke this Liberal government is turning into.

When people give you money, they arent doing you a favour - they are expecting a favour.


You have to keep track of the conjunctives in legal statutes.

ORS 163.684 has TWO different ways to get you to jail.

The first way is (a)(A)

(1)A person commits the crime of encouraging child sexual abuse in the first degree if the person:
(a)(A) Knowingly develops, duplicates, publishes, prints, disseminates, exchanges, displays, finances, attempts to finance or sells a visual recording of sexually explicit conduct involving a child or knowingly possesses, accesses or views such a visual recording with the intent to develop, duplicate, publish, print, disseminate, exchange, display or sell it;

OR  THE OTHER POSSIBILITY:

(B) Knowingly brings into this state, or causes to be brought or sent into this state, for sale or distribution, a visual recording of sexually explicit conduct involving a child;

AND(b)
Knows or is aware of and consciously disregards the fact that creation of the visual recording of sexually explicit conduct involved child abuse.

EITHER way sends you to jail

You get that this parable was not a historical event, right?


"dusty old cow town."  Great writing Kiz, for the 1st time I remember reading that line was 30 years ago.  Woody coined it I think.  You should ask a millennial what they think of Denver today.


I fought through Fallujah..I worked with and ran with real heroes.  1stSgt Brad Kasal.  Capt Brian Chontosh.  You don't know what heroism demands.   Soft and trendy criteria.

Your first comment was " What you know about Turing isn't worth knowing"....and that's certainly true.


The columnist writes about Washington DC: "So what happens to the self-styled boardroom Lotharios who are still at the height of their professional powers? Well, look no further than the Oval Office, where a chief executive who has been caught on tape admitting that he used his position as a television celebrity to assault women can apparently just ignore a string of similar accusations because he's the dude who got himself elected to the presidency."

Wow, what a BIZARRELY PARTISAN choice of selection for harassment in the White House!

Hello, columnist, Mr. Trump's talking about his actions occurred on a bus in Hollywood many years before he ran for office.

Compare that to the historical fact that Bill Clinton and John F. Kennedy both coerced female underlings to perform sex acts IN the White House WHILE working there!

Drop your partisanship, columnist, and pick the two shoes (as in heels) that really best fit your argument.


How can anyone disagree?  It would be like saying oxygen is bad for humans.


So nothing happened to the credits they earned right? Why can they not transfer those credits to another university and act as a transfer student?

If they chose a school that was not accredited and the credits do not transfer seems to me they are at fault as well for picking such a bad school.

I fail to see how the tax payer is on the hook for this.


The biggest threat to Canadian's sovereignty and our security is the deep ties of the Asia Pacific Foundation and how it is embedded directly with MPs.


" Alaska is extremely financially and educationally generous to the Native population."  Really?  I mean really?  Explain to the rest of us uninformed readers why a handful of rural Native villages sued the Alaska Legislature for discriminating against them over underfunding their education formula funding which is protected under the state's constitution.  The villages that sued the Legislature won their lawsuit.  And let's not forget that even though rural Alaska is essentially responsible for providing the rest of the state with oil/PFDs, rural Alaska is still way behind in connecting to basic Internet services and computers.  Now tell us again, Tesa Ann, how generous Alaska is when it comes to equally funding rural Alaska schools, or providing sewer and water systems that urban Alaska appears to enjoy.


One of the better ways to keep America safe is to keep Trump out of the White House.  Yeah baby.


No, its not a "blow" to President Trump.  As usual, the Fake News that predicted an easy  election win for Clinton is wrong.  This is a huge win for Trump and his agenda of change.

Obama took over 20 months to get Obamacare done.  This is long, complex process.  And unlike Obama, Trump has to fight past the establishment elites, the obstructionist Democrats, the swamp and the Fake News who are all trying desperately to stop his agenda.

This is a game of high stakes chess. And Trump is playing 8D chess while his opponents are playing checkers and the Fake News is still looking for the checkerboard.


The lady knows of what she speaks. If only the U.S. was led by such a rational, responsible leader. So Putin sees his fondest wish come true: a split between Europe and the United States, and who'd have thunk it, courtesy of the American President...
As Trump's northern fans cheer him on from a safe distance, from a land of relative peace and national health care, like frat-boys cheering on their favourite hockey goon from the safety of their rec room.


If you're not anti-fascism you're not a good and decent American human being.

Why do we NOT have a few smaller and faster passenger-only ferries??  Get us off this DOT treadmill of dullards and dimwits.


Like Glen Clark hijacking the BC Knowledge Network to try and convince us that the Fast Ferries were a good idea. His "We Did It" line was unintentionally funny.


"Why should I be paying a subscription for that malicious non-sense"

The Globe has become a negative paper that has no useful place in the lives of normal, sensible, positive Canadians.

The Globe is barking like a deranged junkyard dog because the political class it serves is afraid, with the cracks and decay showing in Canada's derelict English colonial institutions, piled like wrecks awaiting the crusher. Because the owners of the ailing Globe and the political class are failure-oriented, they fear change and are unable to embrace it positively.

And to answer your question, you don't have to pay for a subscription unless you want the so-called "unlimited" content. Just set your browser to accept cookies only until it closes, and use a free browser add-on such as BetterPrivacy to delete the large and invasive LSO super-cookies sites such as this like to hide on your computer (unless you delete them yourself with a script).

CONGRATULATIONS  CRESWELL,  on voting DOWN the POT HEADS.  I said this before the election that if the Creswell voters kept the POT HEADS out of town that I would move there.   The voters have spoken and plans are in the works for me to  move there.  I am SICK of POT HEAD EUGENE.

What do YOU Mike Arnold, NOT Understand about the fact that  the FINE Folks of CRESWELL, do NOT want YOU or YOUR FELON  business in our town????

And yet another reason that I think shot down OneGrow is, Why would ANYBODY of Sane Mind want a business in their WONDERFUL  Town that is run by FELONS and a MURDERER......It  appears Mr. Arnold is NOT so smart after all.

WAY TO GO CRESWELL,   I am PROUD of you FOLKS....................


The majority of states chose Trump.  That is our government, a Constitutional Republic.  To the best of my knowledge the majority of the free world does not choose their President, Prime Minister, etc.... by popular vote.  Those leaders are chosen by the party that controls their legislature or parliament.

The President is the head of our 50 United States (not regions) and responsible for the execution and enforcement of the laws created by the congressional representatives and senators from each of those 50 states.

It's been a couple weeks since I looked at the numbers, but at the end of November, if you take away California, Trump wins the popular vote.  Mr. Hansen has a point that with a popular vote the west coast (and northeast) would decide elections. In essence the other states wouldn't need to vote because they know what is best for all.  That is mob rule.


I like that she tells it the way it is in a straight forward way and that she stands up for herself, the President, the administration and what is best for the middle class, which is the majority of the country.


I know what her problem was. I have 21 cats, kind of an informal rescue service. More keep showing up. I leave my idiot magnet on. She should turn hers off when she leaves the house.


"A federal grand jury has approved the first charges in special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into possible collusion between Russia and members of the Trump presidential campaign, with indictments to be announced as early as Monday, according to multiple news agencies.

The charges being filed was reported first by CNN, which said anyone charged will be taken into custody Monday. However, the charges have been sealed by a federal judge. So whoever is charged and whether the charges are criminal remains unclear."  from FoxNews

Actually, Bill, I don't think anyone has ever called Mr. Mueller a "crooked prosecutor"....By all accounts he's one of the most honorable men in government. Gary Crum


Much of London follows the moon cult so no surprise in those numbers!


The problems with Cruz are that he is pathologically cruel, that the people who work with him (even in his own Party) detest him, and that he puts his extremist ideology above everything else, including his duty to serve his country. Of all the candidates, he would be the worst for the country, and I am including Trump, who would be a disaster.


So many excuses, so little time and society is adversely affected, one is dead, the other one will answer for it and all the families and friends of the two strangers will forever be changed as humans. Sorry there in no excuse for this event.


Outsider, has pay risen over the years?
https://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d13/tables/dt13_211.60.asp

This gives salaries (in current dollars) since the late 1960s (roughly once per decade plus the past few years).

54,006	48,474	56,191	57,856	58,948	58,302	58,758

The change in salary can't possibly be the reason for the shortfall, can it? Maybe more people being paid but fewer interacting with students could do it. Personnel costs others than salary could do it (health insurance, retirement, PERS charges). But salary doesn't seem to be the driver.


The problem with your argument is that much of the country's population and economic growth is occurring in the very urban regions where housing and rent inflation is the most problematic.  Eventually, this will choke off innovation and stifle the possibility of real economic growth.


In Calgary, property taxes almost doubled in the last four years. Plus, the province levied a carbon tax. Everything is increasing but wages: labour oversupply keeps them low. Measured unemployment hit 10% (actual over 20%). This Committee was made up of pro-Olympic supporters - of course they were going to find it feasible. With an election in the fall, of course they were going to say more study needed. Municipal councillors are getting contacted daily to say no to this insanity - they are too scared to hold a public vote. Hope the whole city council is replaced with regular folks who stop the crazy spending.


This is what rankles the most. Many canadians, professionals work in jobs on behalf of canada and at the high level are underpaid compared to private industry counterparts. (Note: federal bureauocrats are generally overpaid at the low to mid skill/position level (aka paper  pushers) but severly underpaid at the top professional level,which is why so many bail to private industry taking their know-how with them....).  So why should this dude get a better salary? Hoe about freeze wages of all feds at low/mid end and raise them at top and tie it to performance at top?!


Wow, great editorial!!   Is the G&M experiencing a split personality crisis?


Thanks Miriam.
Yes there those of us white women who try to be aware and write of other cultures, other races,other genders.
Sometimes it works,sometimes not.
I think it requires responsibility and true and strong insight of your own perspectives
That being said-I would talk to your prof about the syllabus.It needs to be way more inclusive like maybe belle hooks - Fath Ringold - John Witmer - Wesley Lowry
One needs to see writing from both sides other and same.
When I write if my own culture, I inherently want to self censure
and am always afraid of spilling the bones. Philip Roth and Chaim Potok had similar issues to my own.
Also many works are out of print for various reasons. Gwendolyn Brooks had a sonnet cycle about African American WWI soldiers coming home.
It's easier for me to do research on other groups not my own - if I do mine I get caught in cultural shoulds and shouldn'ts.
Good luck on your own research and work. Dig deep and hard.


Oh ya folks, don't forget what a pay raise like this does for their retirement pay when that comes around in a few years. The pay of "X" years for computation of retirement pay. You wonder why the city is in the crapper & why credit ratings for governments is being downgraded!! Take a hard look. Anchorage needs a leadership that has no political agenda & is in the position to better your city rather then their pocket books. Greedy individuals


Politics, like religion, bring out the worst in people sometimes.


I'm all for safety and security, but this would be absolute chaos for the reasons stated in the article.  Nearly every seat on aircraft flying international routes, US carriers and foreign, are wired with USB ports and electrical plug ins.  They cater to both the business and leisure traveler who has a laptop, tablet, DVD player or some other non phone electronic device.  Also a lot of travelers are carry on only who don't check bags in order to make tight international connections and speed through customs and immigration.  Forcing passengers to check their luggage with laptops, tablets etc., will add to the already time consuming, stressful airport experience.  How about a compromise......remove your laptop battery and check it and use the in seat power access to use you computer?  Problem solved right?  No battery in cabin but passenger can still use laptop.  Wait, that solution is too easy.  It'll never work.


You mean the Germans are making bank on the EU and are enjoying their place of power within the structure. Germany always did believe it should be the center of European command and control and the EU allows it that prestige.

But the German people may get tired of paying high taxes to bail out countries like Greece. That's coming, but it will take time for the German people to get rid of the elites who are enjoying the power and prestige of EU leadership.


hio


There is no question that the internet has become a necessity for daily living in such areas as web surfing, banking, information gathering, payments etc. However these activities require only a simple broadband link at much lower speeds. The speeds now mandated by the CRTC are only required for such bandwidth intensive activities as video streaming/heavy downloading. To call these types of activities a necessity is an abuse of the word itself. What the CRTC has really done is to declare Netflix to be a basic right of all Canadians rather than discretionary entertainment while imposing a new "tax" on the suppliers that you can be sure will be passed on to the consumers.


SA staff and interns may get ostracized by the bruddahs. :)


ACH:  I know what you mean.  Kind of like the Democrats labeling everyone who disagreed with them as "the deplorables", don't you think?


Agree.  No more income for the bloated nanny state.  It will only be spent on things like $550 ,000 salaries for AGDC execs working on fantasy projects to Nowhere.


What kind of tips do you make as a bellman at the Outrigger and how much do you have to report to the IRS?


Do crackheads normally own cars nice enough that other people will pay to ride in them?  They'd have to be very patient crackheads to drive long enough sober to get enough money for a fix.


I'm sure this guy isn't the only one suffering such paranoid delusions. Seems like a kind of mass hysteria has been brewing on the right, and this terrorist occupation is how it's manifesting. I'd laugh, but it's just pathetic at this point.

"According to National Farm Worker Ministry most farmworkers lack workers' compensation, health insurance and disability coverage, the right to overtime pay and the right to form unions and collective bargaining. Furthermore, they are often paid low wages and exposed to dangerous pesticides."

How many of the people who want to deport millions of  Latin Americans, both documented and undocumented, would be the first to complain about the higher grocery prices after corporate farms would no longer get to exploit their labor?

As the left and the media ramp up their Manafort-ian mania against Trump, it appears the trail of destruction from special counsel Mueller's probe has spread to Democratic power-lobbyist Tony Podesta.

As we explained in Aug 2016, Paul Manafort - now under indictment on 12 charges - and his deputy Rick gates previously worked with the Podesta Group, run by Tony Podesta, the brother of Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta."

Told ya so.
Hillary is toast...they will sacrifice everybody like they did Seth Rich to protect this witch.


Riddle me this.  What does a woman live on when she has to file for support money from an illegal immigrant.  Answer:  OUR tax dollars.  Ask his ex-wife about that.
WHY does Andres use another alias of Andres R Alves Cramer to this very day?
DO you think that if he excuses his own actions, he'd be above hiring others who are also undocumented?
2001Charged for driving without insurance, bench warrant involved.  No expense to taxpayers, right?
Same Year Charged FRAUD USE VEH PLATES,EMBL,DECL - So dodging everyday vehicle TAXES?  Submitted to collection agency in 2008.  STOPPER on license.  SINCE 2008!!
2007 charged with driving without valid drivers lic

2016 criminal citation involving bench warrant -  Also free for taxpayers?
And YES, liens from Hawaii's State taxation department.  So guess what?
Man is a walking illegal liability that shouldn't BE.


Not such a crazy idea.   But at my age, I don't like the idea of throwing away 4 years on a empty chair.

It is a shame to see people today constantly talking about entitlements.  Clearly another appeal to the welfare state.


Keep in mind many accounts will waive fees if a minimum balance is maintained. In many cases the fees waived would exceed what would be earned in savings account paying up to 2% interest.

Example, $5,000 @ 2% annual interest is a little over $100/year, so if fees waived are $8.50/month or more you are further ahead to maintain the minimum balance needed to waive the fees vs keeping the money in a savings account earning very little interest.


Allahu Akbar! Why would people cry of the ousted Sheriffs? There's no security risks at the Honolulu Intern'l Airport as we welcome ALL migrants, ISIS, Taliban, MS13, "illegal" migrants, etc.. Hawaii is the State of Aloha, Hawaii does not ask so don't tell! Hawaii does you no harm, Don't harm Hawaii. Allahu Akbar!
Liberal Democrats are more afraid of Securitas than terrorists! Allah says Mahalo! Allahu Akbar


how about we give every set of parents $11,400 per child to allow them to determine where they want to send their kids to school. The public system or the Catholic system or any private system they want as long as it meets provincial standards.

we'll see then whether the real issue is about how archaic the whole thing is or how protected the whole thing has been...


Dude:  That is the badge that all Lane County Sheriff Deputies wear.    And the Sheriff's Department runs the County Jail.   So that is why it is on all inmate photos.


A lie is not true no matter how many times it's repeated. Fetuses aren't babies.


Where did I say anything about polls? Joe seems to think that letters to the editor are a scientific poll.

If you look at my posts on this subject you will find I've consistently said that Congress needs to resolve the matter of the Dreamers and that the resolution should not punish them for what their parents did, and should come up with a fair way for them to get permanent residency.


Let's see; a corrupt mayor's office with a lying mayor; corruption at the highest level in the police department; corruption in the prosecutors office; corruption in the "Ethics Commission"; a City Council and a State's legislature unable to create jobs or reduce crime; a corrupt rail system, graffiti elevated to an acceptable form of art; "Metro" designs of condos and buildings the "new idea"; a 28% increase in homelessness.  CONGRATULATIONS democrats!!  In one generation you have squandered the Aloha of Hawaii and turned us into Chicago on an island.  What's next; a race war?


President Donald Trump is a great American and doing a great job. Sheriff Joe did his job and truly deserves the pardon. The snowflakes just took another hit. Will their losing ever stop? The 63 million that support President Trump got it right.


Wait, I'm confused. I thought we determined with the Film tax credit program that these type of incentives were a bad thing.


Floyd,
You should be writing more, or perhaps you are, and I haven't seen it.  I have taught creative writing........So share your talent, and keep going forward.  You write well!

Nobody has "apprehended" these kids.
That website talks about unaccompanied minors entering the country illegally.
These Burundi teens are here legally. What part of "legal" don't you understand?
Hottubjoe was wondering what happens in the event teens here legally claim asylum.


Good news for sask


Potentially great news for Alaska! Naysayers a dime a dozen. Considerable work needs to be done but this looks promising. Walkers plan to incentivize Independants might payoff bigtime.


And what say you about the anti-White-male bigots who voted for Hillary because she is a woman, Obama because he is Black and homosexual "marriage-" evolved.

The hypocrisy is astounding.


The other factor here at play is that most of the American talent pool has been a part of the US National Team Development program for teenagers, or played in the World Juniors, so they are well known to the USA Hockey brass.  Canada does not have a standing national team development program for 16, 17 and 18 year olds, as they have the far larger CHL/Major junior programs to do that level of development for them, so it's not surprising that their management needs the extra tourneys in Europe to evaluate talent that the USA might not need....


Chuck, your post is ideological, tribal ranting demonstrating that you are incurious about those who you perceive as different than you.


Thanks for the community volunteering!  We live in the neighborhood and our boys play at this park often!


The problem isn't with praying...but there is a separation of church and state for a reason. We need to respect that and this article shows clearly why.


Preacher, maybe heal thyself by following your own advice.


So we're down to talking symantics, right?

If your private sector job is worth a lick, my guess is your 'merit' increase far exceeds the public sectors 'cola+merit' increase.

What it's called at the end of the day is sorta irrelevant.

Or did I miss something?


Trump is a paper tiger. All bluster and threats. No action.
If he actually punishes Alaska maybe our spineless senator, Ohio Dan, will finally stand up for us and withhold his support for other legislation Trump wants passed. That's how it works.


So WHAT ARE YOU PROPOSING?  Without a proposal such posts are meaningless.


Have you seen the statistics for concussions sustained in soccer and hockey in comparison to football ?

While the number ranks higher in football the number of concussions sustained in soccer & hockey aren’t drastically off.

Rod,when my mother-in-law went blind, CBC Radio was her link to the world. She even heard stories that involved her son and son-in-law.

CBC is responsible in part for her keeping up with current events.

So, thanks for supporting public broadcasting.


This is great if you are 75 years old and set your thermostat at 24C in the winter and 20C in the summer or the finance companies that will make plenty of interest off this.  But if you are young or less luxurious with your thermal comforts, you lose.


Here's your own prediction, two days ago, for today's March:-
"Predictions? 30K?"


All of those companies employ Canadians


Stories get moved around. You also have to look in the right place. This is the second story under nation and world news.

Quit being such a crybaby.


You can' rent a nice well maintained apartment in Toronto for under $1500.


Are you guys organized, or what? Suddenly today there is post after post about influence in Canada's elections. Do you get an email in the morning with your talking points? Try not to look so coordinated.


They probably were not allowed to bring one in.


You're commenting on the wrong article, perhaps?


These libs are really taking Holy Father Francis' appeals to mercy seriously.  NOT!  :-)


"Truth" uncovered by the NYT is "good"... "Truth" uncovered by Wikileaks is "Bad" - simply hypocritically comical!!!


Lazy urban Democrats will stay home again,  giving  rural and suburban Republicans little competition.  Those urban Democrats keep complaining its all unfair but then do nothing.


. I don't want to see Canadian scientists muzzled again.

The operative phrase throughout this thread is that the thieves "just don't care". They don't care if they are identified or caught; they don't care about the people whose possessions they steal, or the hardships they inflect on others. Burning vehicles on public lands is a felony (maybe that is why they chose a church parking lot to torch one of their prizes), but jail time seems of no concern. Here in Butte, they are blatant and very quick; that said, I believe homeowners and the public at large need to be vigilant in watching for suspicious activity and prepared to defend their family and property, within the bounds of the law; which brings us full circle. If someone "who doesn't care" has forced their way in and are now standing in your home and you are sitting there, Taser in one hand and shotgun in the other, what may you do, what can you do, what will you do, if you care? I would hope you have prepared yourself for this moment. I have; first, dial 911 and turn on "handsfree".


If Alaska went to Gary Johnson, you can bet the candidates would not ignore her next time around.  I don't think either of the establishment, insider, candidates can even imagine what our lives are like, anywhere in the country outside the small bubbles of privilege they live in.  I would so love to see a higher vote total for smaller, more local government.  More freedom, less slavery.


A friend's daughter was on that Ukraine training mission for 3 months. They just cut the grass at the base and drove visiting dignitaries around. To train them effectively we would need to first be trained on their equipment and know their language.

Back in the 50s and 60s we could either stay out of other people's conflicts or act as an honest peace broker, but not anymore. There are Ukrianian-Canadian voters to be pandered to and we are now perceived globally as just another US vassal state.


Shades of Manitowok County


Meanwhile, the winless 49ers, among the laughing stocks of the league, have 29th ranked quarterback Brian Hoyer at the helm, who is sure to strike terror in the hearts of their opponents.  Able Colin Kaepernick, cut by them, continues to be blackballed by the league to the point where even a desperate team will put a Matt Cassel out there on the field instead.


Canadians also voted for pot and other useless things, all the while pretty boy sells this country down the toilet to the Chinese.


His name is Trump and some seem to feel this is negative?  Canadians could learn something here as how many regulations are really needed?


I agree, the organization is as the organization does. What is concerning to me is that the leaders of the Church are teaching through example that granting privilege, policy, and favor to someone with a lot of money is the proper and moral thing to do.


HERE is a more balanced news story - gives both sides of the story - c'mon G&M, get on the story -- http://www.cknw.com/2016/12/30/former-potential-political-candidate-and-campaign-manager-at-odds-over-harassment-allegations/


Are you implying one of those may be you, Schmelter?

Because -- no.


You won't get an honest answer from the repubs to that question in this case.

But your point is well-taken.


Stay classy dems 😅


The only conceivable way Democrats could make a deal with Trump is if he were open to fixing, rather than repealing, the law, which he isn’t."

So the only thing Trump’s threat is doing is driving up premiums.

So much winning.


Actually, IUCN lists 100 such species, based on the following research report:

Lowe, Sarah, Browne, Michael, Boudjelas, Souyad and De Poorter, D.--"100 of the Worst Invasive Alien Species: a Selection from the Global Invasive Species Database, Invasive Species Specialist Group, IUCN, Aukland, New Zealand

Wrong again.


Did you have the same concerns when tea party thugs were doing the screaming? How about when Joe Wilson yelled "you lie"?


Ladies and gentleman of Canada.  While it SEEMS we have a Parliamentary democracy: we have a plutocracy.  Justin Trudeau can do whatever he wants.  Live with it.  THAT IS:  until you make your Next stupid decision maybe, choose a guy with sex appeal, wants to make everybody happy, and the whole world will just become a happy place ...
"I represent the Party that will just make Canada a better place ... "
Does that sound like sound External and Defence policy?  Not sure ...


Since inaugeration......

NOT a single proof on anything tangible affecting a single thing from the Democrats.    Nothing.   They are trying to create hysteria and the biased media and schills are lapping it up.


That's great. You know he's just aching to have a few of those! Sieg heil, Kim Jong Drumpf.


You must have read a different article than I, for the last sentence in the article I read is "Trump is scheduled to visit New York City on Thursday."  There's a subliminal message there?  It seems more a factual statement about upcoming events.  If this is the "bias" people see in mass media, then I can see why there is so much hysteria - people can find conspiracies everywhere.


I can't agree. What Canadian products are going to be sold into China? Food maybe but they want that and aren't going to stop it being sold there. What else do we have that they want - just raw materials. There isn't much that we are going to be selling to China but that $46B annual trade deficit is what is going to be used to buy up Canadian companies until there are no more Canadian companies.


I tried to find Brian Weaver's excellent letter-posted physically in the RG on
January 3, 2017, City Ignores Traffic Impact (referring to the proposed building of too
large housing facilities in various parts of Eugene) and neighborhoods being very
concerned...but its not listed online.   John Quilter refers to the article in Letter
to the Editor.


How's that working out for you, Ridgefield?


That is some great spin doctoring by Trudope's handlers. See how the worked in the idea that Canadians are troubled by the little Omar affair? Oh, yes, and the settlement. The guys is out of touch.

Canadians are troubled by the settlement, period.


It only takes 4 justices to add a case to the docket.  It is possible that the justices saw this as an opportunity to resolve ambiguities among the Circuits.  The four strong conservatives might want to end the advance of "gay legal rights".  Maybe Kennedy decided he would postpone his retirement until after the case is resolved.


Seems funny the GOP can't figure out that Russia is why NK has nukes and rockets.  Who do you think was ramping up North Korea in the 50s?  Russia again, Russia isn't our friend and the GOP should catch up on international politics.  Cory should be the one asking for impeachment but I think he may have taken Russian money and is over a barrel.  Dark money ruined our democracy this time.


So NJP, you do not dispute the 3000 new hire figure, but still think they are doing the right thing?

BTW it's pretty pathetic agreeing with your own post! It will probably be the only star your comment will get so........


Oh come now, we all know you didn't read anything beyond the headline.   Conservatives by and large suck at humour so I certainly wouldn't want you picking out anything for the Globe.


I think you spend all your time and energy looking for a hand out from Alaska to pay for your investments.  I suggest you find some real investors that agree with you and develop your investments without getting the state of Alaska to pay for them.  You can always walk away, which is much easier in your case, being so far away from Alaska.


The provincial and municipal governments should leave the business of operating electrical utilities to the private sector and confine their role to regulation.
There are several different businesses.  I have had experience with electrical co-operatives, municipal utilities and private operators.  The service is similar.  The likelihood is that the private operator will use economic resources more efficiently than the municipal government.
The transmission grid requires a larger view than either a municipal or provincial government can provide.  Neither provincial nor municipal borders were set out with a view to the optimal size of the electric grid.
As for production, we have seen immense grief from poor production choices.


So now you're making as much as Port Townsend teachers? Because you said it was UNFAIR that you didn't. More money to the teacher's union, you might as well build Russia another aircraft carrier.


"Okay, it's decided. No one has heard him belch loudly in people's faces since the start of school. Out he goes."


According to the testimony of Kristin Anderson, Trump put his finger into her vagina of in a Manhattan nightclub in the 1990's.
So if a man stuck his finger into your rectum Outsider, you know, penetrated you, you're not going to "make a big deal about it"? If your answer is that you would just "let it slide" well, more power to you, I admire the equanimity with which you approach unlawful penetration of your person. Perhaps you are a role model for some.
Me, I don't let that slide. Anybody penetrates me without my consent is going to suffer permanent damage. I favor the soft tissues above and on either side of the nose. I wonder how often the vision-impaired commit sexual assault?


Spot on, Ms.Willis.  Thanks for the grim (and important) reminder.


The location may be great, but Mr. Cohen makes a good case for why the building is unsuitable.

A new one built for the purpose seems more appropriate.


You're an idiot and a racist...and part of the problem!  STFU!


I'm tempted to reply, "then become a nurse partitioner' but I won't insult you with typically flippant right wing business snark.
It's impossible to have a realistic back and forth in this forum.
I must admit though that my personal experience with the medical profession has left me frustrated with the lack of accountability (and candour) from the profession.
On more than one occasion I've had to present material from PubMED and a suggestion to involve a lawyer in order to even get my rights from someone protecting their business interests.


@ Tempmanoa
"According to a new poll, two out of three Americans believe the Democratic Party is out of touch with average Americans.
The ABC News/Washington Post poll showed that 67 percent of respondents labeled Democrats as out of touch."
Obviously POTUS Trump is doing good for AMERICANS.


I do know it's a motion, not a law. And read it too. Thank you for your contribution.

Religion, race, blah,blah, blah. Same thing over and over.


Are you saying that accepting discrimination, humiliation, being treated as inferiors are all things that should not get in the way of our ultimate goal to live with God in heaven for Eternity? Women are not sheep who should accept the fate you believe this male dominated version of Christianity is the ultimate truth. If you listened to Pope Francis's speeches and kept up with the media reporting on extremists reaction to his liberal views, like that Fundamentalism is the evil that should be deleted from religion, you know that he received death threats for his public declarations. He does not cond emn women who have had abortions. He has been called an Anti-pope, a sinner for befriending the devilish Jews, for supporting inclusion of all religions and genders. He is afraid now of  stating his support for equality for women and not be able to continue ridding Christianity of its cruel , evil and controlling political Fundamentalism.


No one from the City has explained why they need to extend the tax another 10 years instead of maybe 4-5 years based on the current projected costs of $10 Billion.  At $1.2 Billion for the 2 year extension, if you add another 8 years to that total, it brings the requested amount from the City up to $6 Billion.  Why do they need the extra $3 Billion on top of what they say that they need now?  What are they hiding?  That's the entire problem with the Mayor and HART.  They are either grossly incompetent or lying about the final amount that they need to finish the project!  I say force them to raise property taxes by the amounts that they are asking for and see if they get re-elected during the next election cycle.  The Mayor doesn't care because he's done after this term, so of course he's going to ask for whatever he can get.  Remember that he originally wanted to have the tax forever, then 20 years, and now 10 years.  He and HART need to start telling the truth!


Your reasons are valid.  They've all been "political" wars that didn't have the full backing of the American people.  They do love their wars, though, just like they love their guns and violence.


AND she is voting for Hillerie...


??Sandys, how does this travel ban judgement "help the whole island"?


Hmmm. The 2% of AFD "fire" calls crossing into another shift are causing millions in overtime? Not very likely. Too many AFD employees allowed to take vacation in the summer is the problem.

I wish the Globe editors would stop dictating to the cartoonists.  Gable used to be funny, but marching in lockstep with the agenda is squelching his humour.


Meh. Reviews are just busywork. Call me when he's actually doing something. As for the government contracts, won't this just reduce competition and thus drive up government spending? Not that I have a problem with this, but it seems to be the opposite of a certain brand of fiscal policies.

Also waiting for Trump's own products to be American made. Never going to happen though.


Out of interest, would you include the Smuts statues and the Huguenot monument in your purge?


The negativity in these comments is astounding. Someone had to learn to walk again after an accident and finds comfort in the companionship of a six-pound animal. It's an adorable story of a flightless duck accompanying someone on board what sounds like a 45 minute flight, and people still find a way to be insulting.

Grow up.


Considering that all previous HART estimates were dubious, it is most likely that the current HART estimate is also dubious. Meaning that the GET surcharge may be able to cover only the cost of rail to the Airport station - not the Middle Street station.  Really.  The thing here is that if HART were a private corporation, the HART CEO would have been fired long ago.  And what is really ludicrous is that HART even paid the CEO a bonus for job well done.  Really.  A change in HART management is drastically needed to restore integrity and competence.


Oh......I'll bet the NRA is going to tear a corner off his NRA Tote-n-Shoot card!         (<-Sarcasm)


If climate change is real then Trump's action will have little effect. We have to assume that sanity is still the default option for most people. Most adults know how to deal with a wayward child, who does something stupid just to gain attention.


Ha Ha That's what she said.


Trump wanted one thing when he met Putin, the photos of him being naughty when he was in Russia. What else could hold his attention for two hours with Putin?


Unfortunately, as a society we have legitimized feelings so that they are equated with actual consequence.  Not liking something is a feeling.  Those at the UO would argue that the feeling is the reality.  They see the feelings of some as the harm suffered.  It will be difficult to convince them otherwise.  The equating of feelings with reality is evident in many aspects of current affairs in USA.  How often have we heard "I felt afraid" as a justification for action even murder.


it's costly nonsensical Stalin-esque 'solutions' like you've proposed that has us where we are today both here and the madland, when the real answer is more understanding, compassion, and simply providing basic homes for those afflicted with street life.


Lol, no. No they don't. The Pearl is a sad, soulless place.

Mindless? What was mindless about that post? You think the clown-in-chief cares about policy? Let me reiterate: He thinks health insurance costs $12 PER YEAR.


I don't are which Dan Sullivan this is I know that I don't want what he's selling! If it's ex-mayor you have already cost me enough! If it's Ohio Dan in 22 month's ex-mayor will run against you and will take both of you out. YEA!


The first thing they need to record is why they think a part time admin job merits $200K per year.

I agree. Sentence fragments abound.


Yes, WP, Russia literally did not annex Crimea.
Crimea's democratically-elected government organized a lawful referendum on the status of Crimea, in keeping with the UN charter's enshrinement of the right to self-determination of people, specifically including their political and cultural identities. following said referendum, Crimea's government formally applied to Russia for legal accession, which Russia's government made reality by signing.
An annexation is the unilateral taking of a territory by force, whereas an accession is the mutually agreed-to adding of one territory to another. What occurred with Crimea's reunification with Russia was not an instance of annexation, but of a lawful accession.
You could, however, say that West Ukraine annexed West Ukraine from Ukraine proper, since it was taken via violent coup, and by the overruling former Ukraine's constitution - which left East Ukraine and Crimea as abandoned regions.


I think we need to go back to the basics which worked well before.
