Duvenage is clearly ignorant of the subject matter under discussion here. How he moved from anti e-toll specialist and advocate to anti nuclear power lobbyists baffles me?  The next time he will become a space specialist. That's the nature of our democracy where laymen and idiotic journalists become instant specialists in disciplines that take years to acquire the basics.Let Wayne tell the South African public who is funding his activities as he has become a full-time anti everything South Africa.
Now to the issue of the nuclear power and the decision by the th western Cape High Court. The High Court in the first place overreached its mandate. Governments all over world sign bilateral agreements with other governments all the time. These agreements are mostly principles and intentions and by no means binding. And since not binding they are not subject to legislative oversights. These bilaterals do not involve financial commitments or obligations.The court judgement is therefore hollow


We cannot  cull or reintrodue Soylent Green....what we can do is slowly reduce the population and in some cases decomission sesnsitive area completly of human activity. I have long been a proponent of turning the vast majority of BC and \Alta back to its original state.  Tourism and some ag business would be fine, but the major cities would be decomissioned along with the populations.  Centralize in areas where densification is imperative for efficiencies and survival

Population studies can be made at the universities and independantly and a long term program can and must be put in place.  I say 6 to 7 million is a nice figure to strive for,

Looking back at how we conquered our land seems pretty sad right now.....right up there with the slaughter of the bison.


I don't speak for NCR, but as the inauguration of Civil was intended to change the tone of our interactions from constant arguing and really nasty infighting, I personally think that goal has been met.  Overall, we seem to bite our collective tongues far more than before and a lot of the attacks/overreactions have been minimized.  (The intent may still be there, but it wears nicer clothes these days.)

I don't care for the smaller character limit, and I await the installation of the blocking feature with mad hopefulness -- but I do think the change has been an improvement in general.

Just my opinion, since you brought it up, WillS.


The first paragraph speaks the truth. That paragraph seems incomplete, though.

It should finish with -- "The voices of the priest and bishops are marginalized because it is pretty well accepted that, as a group, they do not have the courage of their convictions. It is further expected that the bishops and priests will follow-the-money. And the moneyed class is now in total power; presidency, congress, and the courts -- all with the blessing of the majority of religious-affiliated citizens, including the majority of Catholics."

Is she making money from this?


That's what we do...  work hard for what we own, guilt free.

You should try it sometime.


I believe you are on the right track here.  We need to parse out the finer points of the legalisms involved, demand every term be carefully defined (what is the meaning of "is"), check, double-check, then appeal all procedural issues, discuss canon, civil, criminal, and international law, and continue to do so for as long as possible.  After all, what is at stake is the lifestyle of a Prince of the Church.  With such a matter of import, we must engage in any action to avoid any risk of a conclusion unfavorable to one of those selected by God Himself to lead the One True Church.


Nuclear war?  I doubt it.  But maybe the Russians will get REALLY angry and finally release the Trump emails they hacked, and . . . the VIDEO!


How many PFDs will it take to pay for Gov Walker and his entourage to travel? I thought we were broke. Guess it's OK to spend "other people's money".


There needs to be accountability. Like out here with our supposed YMCA that's a joke of a trailer sitting behind the sewage plant, that cost us like $7 million! Where did all that money go? How do people get away with these ridiculous budgets!? Where's the accountability?


Trump said he would date his daughter if he wasn't married. I think incest is a lot worse than a may-December romance.

Everything about this post is distasteful and reflects poorly on you  This sort of rating of  women in prominent positions that you think meet or don't meet your standards for "adult -type fixations" would hardly have passed muster even  decades ago.
I guess this is the sort of mind set that rules the day in the Conservative/Reform Party..


As history has shown us, no monetary union has survived without a corresponding fiscal union.
Time for the EU to realize this and prepare for an orderly unwinding of the Eurozone for members who cannot meet its strict budget discipline rules much like what Germany recommended for Greece in 2015. Poland, Czech, Hungary, and Sweden are purposely delaying adopting the Euro because they want control of their currency and can't submit to the budgetary discipline. Italy, Spain, France, Portugal, Cyprus and Greece should all do the same thing as the budget discipline is leading to austerity which in turn is leading to extreme parties and the rise in populism . To put it in perspective, could you image if in Canada, the federal government never sent fiscal transfer payments to Quebec, the Maritimes and Territories? How long would it take until they all left the Canadian dollar. The Euro is over and they just need to realize that.


You certainly are spewing out a lot of hatred for conservatives. Are you planning violent action yourself? Are you actively supporting others planning violent action? If some unbalanced young man commits mass murder of conservatives, will you be applauding him and supporting him? Will you acknowledge that you hate speech was responsible, or will you disavow that it could have had anything to do with it?


please tell us your source for these whoppers.  So silly to make them even less believable than the usual drivel from Macedonia.


I guess the fact that Tim Masters was found innocent means everyone in prison is innocent; and there I just used the same logic used by conservatives to decry BLM and global warming.


This is very troubling. I saw the television interview referenced in the news report above. The fact that Trump didn't disavow the KKK or David Duke, the former leader of the KKK, in unequivocal terms, as a major American political party's presidential candidate, should be concerning not only to the party's voters but to all Americans. This incident was made even worse when a separate news report detailed that Trump, indeed, had previously known about David Duke when Trump considered running as a Reform Party candidate, and David Duke was also a candidate in that party. And just yesterday, one of Trump's many tweets got him in more trouble when he re-tweeted a quote from Mussolini, the former fascist dictator of Italy during WWII. When Trump was asked by Chuck Todd of NBC News about why he would use a quote from Mussolini, Trump replied it didn't matter who said it because he liked the quote, that it was a good quote.

They made a mistake and they made it public.  How can anyone call them dishonest when they owned up to their actions and self reported the problem?  Calling everyone crooked sounds more like sour grapes than a statement grounded on fact or reality.  The Sheriff's Office has demonstrated an open and honest approach to their duties and responsibilities for the past 10 years and I'm glad for the dedicated men and women we have there.  They work hard doing a thankless job many others would not or could not do in order to keep us all safe.  They cut us slack every day and now is a time we can cut them some while they fix the problem.

"Critty, "Obama's only contribution to the rise of the White Nationalist "movement" was the coincidence that he happened to be black." "The problem here is white racism against non-whites. Plain and simple." Are you saying Trump is a problem for being coincidentally white?"

No, saveparadise.  I'm saying Trump is at fault because he panders to, and now clearly supports the racism of White Supremecists. (the same racism that was screamed louder by White Supremecists at Obama for being black).


Dead addicts don't cost the taxpayer a dime.

cn:  If the PFD is eliminated then I might think differently about an income tax but until then - no.  I still think a sales tax is a better choice.  Many of the cities and boroughs with a sales tax don't have a property tax.  Further, almost everywhere outside of Alaska has city, county and state sales taxes.  At least with a sales tax you can exempt essentials and control, to a degree, how much you pay by judicious spending.  The regressive argument is a hollow argument as all taxes, except those you do not pay, are regressive.


I guess you are separating the early Church from the Roman Church. Fair enough, I suppose. I'm a bit of hybrid, I guess, because I don't need to chop our history apart like that. I take our history for what it is.

People will die, probably a child.

Canada will get blamed.

Trump will get blamed.

The people who die will be cast as victims when it is themselves who are to blame.

Please do the right thing and put an to this nonsense Mr. Trudeau most Canadians do not want any further burdens on our social safety nets.

There are enough Canadians in need that deserve better treatment from their elected politicians.


Night off limits to public beaches and parks takes away my right and freedom as a good citizen to enjoy activities I grew up with; fishing at night, moonlight picnics,  strolling in the moonlight.

Apparently, Trump did pay what was required of him, as shown from the leaked 2005 taxes.

Are you going to pay more than is legally required?

Tax avoidance is prudent. Tax evasion is a crime.


The good news is that KA has a great imagination when it comes to crime solving.  The bad news is that no one cares.  Best to leave all crime solving to the experts who actually have the facts


Democrat Vice President Biden's Study demanded by Democrat President Obama agrees,

“This isn’t just about guns, It’s about the coarsing of our culture.  Yes, that’s what I said, the coarsening of our culture, whether it’s with video games or movies or behavior.  It’s about the ability to access mental health services and the safety of our schools. It’s a very complex problem, and it requires a complex solution. W e need studies – and this is where the entertainment industry doesn’t like me at all – we need studies on what are the impacts on young minds of witnessing repetitive violent acts, either in movies, or on television or in video games. That’s not an indictment of the industry - it’s a recognition we have no extensive modern studies on these things,  I believe we can turn this all around,

It’s not all because of guns.

It’s a lot of other things,...But maybe what happened in Newtown is a call to action about more than just gun violence; about civility in our society."


It's not the landlords responsibility to ensure the Legislature followed their rules. A contract was done, the landlord suffered damages of providing a building that the state backed out of.  Judgement for the plaintiff - $37 million.

Reminiscent of Neville Chamberlain's German tours and meetings with Hitler claiming peace was at hand.  How did that work out for the world?  Disgusting that this nation installs the identical regime as the heir apparent to Nazi Germany following the same game plans for a new Fuehrer trained by a jewish traitor, Roy Cohn, with Mein Kampf as the textbook.  Evil personified in a German-heritage traitor bred, born, and developed by the New York Wall Street traitors before and after WWII to install the same in this nation.  Nixon and Reagan blew it, Bush/Cheney set the stage, and the final solution was installed by the Republican Party traitors composed of the Billionaire Barons enriched by the Military Industrial Complex led by Oil Monopoly traitors.  All aided and abetted by the moles in the Democratic Party to insure government gridlock until the complete one party takeover is finished.  Welcome to the Nazi States of Americal! Seig Heil!


Well here go the GOP and RINO Republicans, sentencing before proven guilty! The are just disgusting to me.


Is that the same sort of 'common sense' that says we should start war hostilities in Asia over the sorts of tests they've been conducting since my grandfather's day? I'm sure the KKK would be 100% behind your ideas, but, what kind of contempt would you have to have for the American and the world's cosmopolitan public to think that flight is going to get off the ground again in the 21st century?
We're all looking at the ongoing fallout from that especially wrongful invasion and occupation of Iraq in 2003 that constituted war crimes and crimes against humanity whose perpetrators are still out at large, Shkreli-grinning at the profane acts of genocide that they got away with scot-free, for now.


You mean letting them camp by the creek isn't helping? /s

It should be obvious that evaluating people as individuals with specific problems to be addressed is the way to deal with homelessness,  not just let them be free to live wherever and however they want, with no attempt to understand who they are or what they need.


No question. Already started the process. This whole election cycle is taking off where Nixon started it with Republican dirty tricks. It's all they know anymore to try to keep power, which has become all that some of them care about. The enemies' lists were started before Trump won, and everyone agrees that everything is all about him and paying back anyone who challenges him. He even said that himself about himself.


Why did I bother to read this?


Or they could vote for the candidate that won the popular vote, which would be the right thing to do.

Jerry Rosiek is the only one who is willing to take a hard look at the underlying problems we face. The current school board has proven cowardly and ineffective. They go along with mandates from the state and federal levels, never questioning why, much less standing up for our kids. With Jerry on the school board they would no longer be able to deliberate in private and collude with the state DOE to prevent parents from exercising their rights.  Of course they want Newman. Judy is a wonderful person, a gifted educator, and has done a lot for the community; no one can impugn her reputation for effectiveness in the early learning arena. But I'm supporting Jerry, because I am fed up with the status quo.


Excellent article.

The Prime Minister should be prevented from tweeting.


I'm not sure how you can judge I'm 'good', have a 'closed mind' and 'have given up intelligence' simply because I would like the Pope to simply answer the question.  So knowing that your judgments about me are quite quite wrong, I won't comment on your judgment of  the Pope's "Christ like intelligence."  It seems to me Popes have answered lots of questions in the past especially on this subject.  I mean come on! Look at the huge size of the Vatican library.   This pope even wrote a story book of answered questions which I'm sure is now there.    I refuse to un-ask my question simply because you see me as a sheep.


Well - environmental toxins are at the bottom of a lot of it.   It's true there are different genes that can be involved and so the way in which it is expressed differs, however, I know people who have kids who were hyper, distracted, too intensely mono-focused or always anxious, and the approach I outlined above worked for them.   MTHFR genetic defects seem to underlie some of it.    Heat shock protein defects are also a big issue.

With autism, there are similar issues in many (not all) cases, however, they tend to be far more extensive and more digging into the root causes needs to be done to make major breakthroughs.


In Yemen, we are backing Saudi Arabia against the Iranian-supported side of the conflict by using drone attacks on their enemies and on the US citizens and other jihadists there who Obama has 'declared' to be subject to the death penalty for attacks by the 'shoe bomber' and the FedEx bomb attempts.  Some of the drone attacks are run by the CIA and some by the military.   Any 'troops on the ground' in Yemen would likely be laser designators for 'smart' weapons attacks.

None are subject to any oversight by anyone except by specified congressional committees who are not permitted to reveal 'sources and methods'.


May make the story more juicy, but it is probably irrelevant.
.
It is more likely payback for White House pandering to Saudi Arabia.  Think of KSA as the paymasters of Pakistan and the Taliban.  More likely that the  timing is related to the WH repudiation of the Iran deal - something much desired by KSA.
.
Note that the villains here are the Haqqani network, not exactly the same as the Taliban.  Given the murkiness, who knows whether there was a betrayal, a settling of scores, double dealing by Pakistan's ISI, or something else. Is there proof the kidnappers were killed?
.
They were likely only interested in the US citizens.  They are highly valuable hostages (even women who the captors may deem worthless in their own context).  Canadians are much less so.  KSA is interested in providing special gifts to the WH.  If an incidental Canadian had been lost or killed in the episode it would likely not have mattered.  Canada isn't a player.
.
Or it just might have been a coincidence.


Critical alright.  So, how much did you donate..?


Cold coconut water with a spicy coconut curry is great for hangovers.


Seems like common sense, right? That's something I've heard over and over from voters who want to stay informed. The only thing the state did, as far as I can tell, is post the amendments on its website with links to the original bills, which are not exactly reader friendly.

HOAs won't give out money, but cities give out rebates for people to take out their turf and put in xeriscape.  I don't know what the current amount that Aurora gives out, but in the past it was substantial.  Not to mention they hold free classes for people that want to put in xeriscape.

BTW, for those HOAs that have all sorts of rules about how much lawn coverage people have to have, tell them to pack sand.  Colorado law specifically states that HOAs can neither prohibit or restrict xeriscaping.

Every government functions upon its bureaucracy.  By trying to do everything "in-house" Trump is making it more difficult for the bureaucracy to work with him, more likely to work against him, and putting an unnecessary amount of strain and stress on his administration resulting in shoddy, piece-meal products like the travel ban.  He seems intent on foolishly taking on the DC juggernaut single-handedly and blaming everyone else when he fails.
His inexperience is only compounded by his lack of temperament.  The worst part is that this isn't even the scary bit.  A falling out with the bureaucracy might leave some injuries that mostly can be band-aided over.  No, the scary bit is Trump's fumbling about in the international arena where ISIS recruitment gets empowered, any country basing its legitimacy on anti-US sentiment grows in authority and the more experienced players like Russia and China play him for a fool.


I wonder who is giving this kidcsuch bad advice. Even if they did collude, where is the guys pride. Now he's like begging for a job. He made a decision to kneel. Now he needs to  deal and be a MAN .   there are always consequences . Why aren't they ever taught that?


while it is easy to second guess what happened and state "facts" that might not be true, there is a further question that must be raised.  what happens if the officers let the culprit go and he then renders harm to some else?  what then?  some would say, the police should have tried to apprehend the culprit.  decisions must be made in a split second, sometimes right and sometimes wrong.  the new policy appears good but the key now is to train the officers on the new policy.  believe some officers are unaware of the new policy and are operating under old policy.


They sre.


Mr. Wohlforth's commentary appears to suggest that Alaska Natives are nothing but poor innocent victims of a racist justice system. His tone is extremely patronizing and I wonder if he is playing the "white man's burden" role here.  This is the old Kipling concept that white man like him, must take care of the poor natives who cannot take care of themselves. Bit old fashioned however gallant, Mr. Wohlforth. Nearly all native inmates I encountered at ACC West, knew wholly that they did wrong. Funny thing about native people are that they are extremely honest folks, even when they did wrong. More then any other ethnic groups I have run into, including my fellow Asian Americans, native people stand out in their honesty in acknowledging that they did wrong. Few who claims innocence, are those coming in from probation violations and some of them got just cause to be unhappy, being violated for petty violations. Maybe that is where Mr. Wohlforth should take a look at.


He had the ability to make his own decision at 15 years of age. I'm tired hearing of always having an excuse and blaming others for your own decision. This is like child molestors justifying thier acts because they were abused, everyone still knows right from wrong, even my 5 year old.


There you go again making more false claims. At no time no where did I or anyone to my knowledge say  "Hilary Clinton paid people to incite violence".
The facts are as I stated [1.] " Self admissions by Democrat activist leaders were video taped", [2.] "including video [showing] multiple acknowledgements that [even] Hillary herself had direct knowledge and approved of such actions."

Since that exposure the FBI has confirmed funding came from the DNC Democrat National Committee, That there was knowledge shared among DNC leaders, Clinton campaign staff which included Hillary herself of these disgraceful tactics.

The ONLY  dodgy conspiracy is Democrats wishfully had hoped never to have been caught red handed no less video taped!


I've always thought engineers were underpaid in the early parts of their careers.  But overall they catch up and vastly surpass what teachers earn.  Relax and learn what you can.  Your day will come.  In the meantime, set up your finances as this young lady has.


Tim, you have identified here a part (or parts) of the problem but also appear to oversimplify the media's responsibility in this. For example, when you write that Wikileaks exposed direct coordination with the Clinton campaign and the media, what you really are talking about is a couple of independent incidents with a couple of different reporters (not an overarching conspiracy among the majority of the hundreds of journalists covering the campaign). While partisan media definitely has pushed people apart, the "traditional" media has had a much lesser role in that. I also don't think the evidence supports the assertion that Trump's words have been taken out of context (by traditional media, not partisan media), or that the messengers (not the actual actors themselves) have stoked fears and racism. Significant issues were not addressed in this past campaign, such as environmental destruction, because the public didn't demand it. Media generally gives its audiences what they demand.


But Colonel Sanders is white!


Is it just plain illegal to hold an open session and require that all legislators be in attendance? Put them all in the same room, house and senate members, until the cows come home! In reading this article, it seems that some of our legislators will stay home and campaign for re-election? How is that okay and will they still be paid including per Diem? I've never seen such nonchalant attitudes!

Many have made this analogy. And the persecution of gays reaches a vastly greater number of people. You may know that gays were also Holocaust victims (there are monuments to them in Berlin) and that many gays were burnt at the stake worldwide by the Holy Inquisition.

Michael Gerson is a nationally syndicated opinion columnist for the Washington Post. He obviously has been drinking his own brand of Kool-Aid.

President Trump has been in office less than 30 days but yet the left wing nut jobs and the entrenched establishment talking heads from both corrupt parties, which over the past 100 years have put this country in a hole, talk like he was either supposed to wave a magic wand or fall back in lockstep with them.  He was elected because the American Voters are tired of all of the 'establishment' policies which benefit only a few elite and the destruction of Constitutional Law.

Gersons opinion is just that, his and perhaps he should find a different brand of vodka for a mixer.

We actually had a guy with two degrees in economics and an analytical mind and a clear eyed, focused preoccupation with economics, trade, taxation and fiscal responsibility.

He led our country to the best record among the G 7 for the five years following The Great Recession in all major economic and fiscal performance indicators.

During his decade of leadership, Canada was the most respected and admired country in the world and topped the G 7 and other mid sized and large countries in social progress and open government.

He even dragged himself into the House and gave relatively direct and sensible answers to opposition questions.

So we dumped him for a part time drama teacher with a famous name and nice hair.

Said part time drama teacher has neither the knowledge or vision to develop a coherent long term economic strategy for Canada.

Even simple questions in the House are beyond his competence.


Recognizing who gives it to them, it's more of a redirect, and not as important as the two coins of an old widow for either one. Sad for WB, and glad for BG for his wife. He's a fortunate man because of her.


Not getting the attention you crave?

You poor poor dear.


If someone working for a large corporation like Walmart or Target showed up for work dressed up to promote a political candidate or cause, that employee would be sent home or fired.  Businesses work to serve everyone and alienate no one.  After all, both Democrats and Republicans buy food and soap.

The NFL made a huge mistake by not taking action when the kneeling first occurred.  Now their brand and ability to make money are tarnished.  They are loosing fans and money because their inaction has alienated half of their fan base.

Football players have to the right to free speech on their own time.  Not on company time.  Save it for their twitter feeds.

The court decision cited on the pledge was when a government institution (a school) coerced actions.  The NFL (not a government institution) can coerce participation by its employees.


to maintain the income to the business owner to remain in the state. . .to a degree . We are Alaskans and have been since 1965 we left the state in 2004 when our country was at war  I served my country in Hawaii rebuilding our troops training facilities there. was gone from the state just over a year the first time away. but since less than 6 months each year!  WE shouldn't be classified as second class in our state because of lies and greed!  Our 14th amd. allows us the right to move to any state to engage in commerce . There is no good reason either by law or threat of penalty why we Alaskans shouldn't be allowed to do business where we reside. The Board in it's wisdom screwed US. They will fix it or we will test it in Federal Court! This isn't how we wish to see it happen. Why are they so foolish to think this will stand? Good point Charlie How do you think the court will react when we ask for a TRO on the program? That's not what we want either as we are State Rights advocates!


The Globe and Mail should be sued for publishing this type of mind rotting garbage. No wonder their subscription rates are plummeting. This is tabloid trash OPED in its finest hour.


this is one of worse financial articles I have read in my life.


Kim's family can't live not to be king of NK. They know it, Chinese know it. They would rather drag the whole NK down with them than surrender.
Chinese would absolutely not touch that line.


Mr. Horgan and Mr. Weaver say "whoever the Liberals put forward as Speaker next week should remain even after the government is defeated. They said it would be undemocratic if Ms. Clark did not ensure that happened."...........what a joke!  Complete amateur hour with these two (Horgan / Weaver).  They arrange a pact to defeat the party that won the most seats in the May 9 election and have the arrogant gall to insist the BC Liberals by convention have some duty to keep this opportunistic alliance propped up by graciously providing a speaker from their own caucus.

Message to Andrew Weaver. With every public utterance you make you become more and more detestable by the day.


Trudeau's personal image gain, paid by the Canadian society.

Hair is still more important than governance.


Well considering that there is 1.9 billion class B shares out, that doesn't give them control of the company.  Class A shares are what count, but the right to buy Bombardier's remaining stake in the C series begs for a few more details.
I'd like to know the conditions attached to this.


Ooooh, didn't like that one, eh?


He does have a way of weaving snippets of quotes with his own brand of fantasy . Thanks for the clarification.


This latest missile is at most intermediate range. This according to Russian experts not tied to the government. Quite crude, as one can expect.
The Pentagon of course treat it and others as intercontinental able to reach America's heartland. And thus constitute an existential threat, the Pentagon favorite word. This to justify a restart of the Korean War, which it wants very much to do. China and Russia, even Iran has missiles of far greater range and power. Yet the Pentagon does not call for war with them. Yet.
Japan attacked and took over Korea during the first half of the 20th century. The bad feeling between them has hardly subsided. A second attack from Japan on Korea will trigger total war. Since Japan also attacked China during the same period inflicted the most horrific bloodshed, you can count on China joining the war.
Nevertheless, if the  Pentagon and Congress wants a big war, then they will have it. After all, there is never a war the American government don't like.


Pebble Mine needs to come up with a minimum of 3 innovative solutions in their mine plan:

1.  Eliminate the unprecedented high earthfill dam subject to several failure scenarios to retain a toxic waste pool.
2.  Provide a method of transportation that does not require a state-supported to tidewater.
3.  Develop an innovative dust control system that prevents contamination of adjacent tundra in a high wind area.

The Alaska legislature needs to implement at least 3 laws prior to any State project approval of the plan:

1.  Tax the project in a manner that exceeds $100/bbl oil on the North Slope under ACES.
2.  Prevent ANY damage to existing salmon or trout habitat during construction and operation.  This excludes any promises to restore or "trade" for other habitat enhancements.
3.  Provides no state-supported infrastructure or tax benefits to sweeten the project economics.

Good luck on the Legislature doing anything to support the fish, environment or residents on the project.


You’re not wrong. People are finally waking up to the fact that Islam and Western traditions are largely incompatible.


That's great news...


The military is the most wasteful of all. But hey its a job creator and the poor defense contractors are not making the profits they've been accustomed to.


You should have read it first prior to pstng
In fact, let me pull this for you:
<quote>
The deceptive nature of fraud makes its extent in the Medicare program difficult to measure in a reliable way, but it is clear that fraud contributes to Medicare's fiscal problems. More broadly, in fiscal year 2013, CMS estimated that
improper payments—some of which may be fraudulent
—were almost $50 billion.
<quote>

Improper Payment is NOT 100% fraud.
Improper payment, in general, means that Medicare paid out for procedure A when it should not have. Of course, a VERY SMALL PORTION of that is fraud. IOW, fraud would be something that was submitted but with lies attached to it or procedures were not actually done.
BTW, had YOU actually done the real work and understood what is happening, you would have found that GAO PURPOSELY skipped over the portion where procedures were NOT PAID, but should have been. oddly, over/under tend to work in medicare's favor, not the providers.


Walker, self identified as an Independent, ran on the promise to cut government spending 16%. Which clearly, and without a doubt, distanced himself from establishment republicans and democrats.
Since his election to office he has failed to submit a budget that cuts spending 16%, which Vince and the democrats are happy with. Conversely, he spent 55 million on an imaginary gas line project which the the republicans are happy with; and continues to hire non-essential employees which the Vinny and the AFL-CIO and democrats are happy with.
Self identifying as an Independent doesn't mean one is good at catering to different groups of people. It means that when it comes to leading and legislating that you'll make the difficult choices and make decisions based on the realities at the time and that reflect the will of your constituents. Which is what Reinbold does well and Walker only talks about doing.


I don't really know how Clark would have done, but I agree that this doesn't seem to be a fair fight when the republican presidential race is already decided. Although, the results from Lane don't seem to back up the idea that voting is reduced by Republicans

           REGISTERED VOTERS - Democratic  .  .  .   103,496   46.89%
           REGISTERED VOTERS - Republican  .  .  .    58,800   26.64%
           BALLOTS CAST - Democratic .  .  .  .  .    54,995   59.32%
           BALLOTS CAST - Republican .  .  .  .  .    27,104   29.24%

At first I thought the 29.24% Republican vote was out of Republican voters, but it is out of all voters. So Dems voted at a higher rate and Reps did too (just not as much). Turns out nonpartisan voters didn't vote:

REGISTERED VOTERS - Nonpartisan .  .  .    47,007

BALLOTS CAST - Nonpartisan.  .  .  .  .     7,468

Would the nonpartisans have voted for Clark? Do they normally not vote? Are these auto-enrolled voters?


Freedom of speech trumps flag waving. Disagree all you like.


One thousand thumbs-up!


Been to Europe once on airmiles and taken several 'short haul' flights as well to use up the points.  The points you get are so small it will take a LIFETIME to get enough miles for that 'dream vacation'.  We view it as a way to get almost free flights or lower our cost of flying and only use it for flying, not accommodations or rental cars.


Ya but....you know....CHINESE!


trump admitted it on a nationally  televised interview , and archived on video tape.


".I don't care if you are religious or not, people who attend church are generally very good people."

I hear the Westboro Baptists are very faithful in their church attendance.


The biological clock being stressed is not the circadian rhythm it is the whine-adian rhythm.  We want all the daylight during the summer evenings but fail to realize that it would be dark until mid-morning. Also all the people who complain would willingly skip time zones to enjoy a vacation or stay up late to watch a movie or go to a party - and then just miss the sleep lost. When the time change happens during work it apparently causes accidents, distractions and mayhem. People with few problems chose to make little problems big problems. Maybe instead of complaining or walowing in self-pity do something charitable (which has been proven to be good for mental health). And if it is really a big deal ask your employer to allow you to start work one hour early so you can go home one hour early, same thing.


From the figures I have seen there are about 70 million refugees in the world.

Let's give ourselves a Canada 150 birthday gift and bring them all to Canada in the next 6 months.

If we mobilize our armed services we can do this. After all we are only talking about a little over 2 million people a week.

By doing this we will make ourselves the most diverse and, hence, the strongest country in the world.

What could possibly go wrong?


Given the same-sex attraction element to this story about a Catholic priest from Today's Crux, it's not going to benefit Father Martin's cause any.

This sounds awesome!


It's so depressing to read these posts which are, I suspect, mainly from men. Any mention of female achievement seems to bring them out in full force.
Maybe women in the early English colonies were more downtrodden & lacking in education. Perhaps the women in new France were the opposite.
Women doctors are the ones having the babies not their husbands & they're often more responsible for chid care than their partners.
Ms Plante ran a flawless campaign. She deserved her win. Give credit where credit's due.

"Per capita basis" is meaningless for GHG emissions when a country, such as Canada, has few capitas. That is what the author of the article is saying.  It is deplorable that that Stephen Harper was too meek to come out of the closet and say outright what he thought about the whole Climate Change business. It is too late now. The country will be gravely harmed by our naive (but oh so good looking!) Mr. Trudeau. Only Donald J. Trump can save us rom ourselves!


The Democrats have not learned much at all, if anything. Unfortunately, that means one less obstacle to a Trump second term.

No matter who you are, where you come from, what you eat, people will expect you to live like them and eat what they eat. When Creator made earth, he put many different types of animals in every part of the world. You will not find caribou, walruses, polar bears in the east coast or west coast. Our people did not choose these animals for St. Lawrence Island, they were chosen for us by Creator. Our people did not choose to be born Yupik, we were chosen; just like you were chosen to be born into your own skin. There are many different people, many different cultures, and many different traditions. Take the time to get to know reasons behind why each culture live the way they do. You are not the only important person. Where we come from its about all of us, in the city its about "me". Accept, respect, love, and understanding makes you a good spirited human. I am very proud of my nephew Chris Apassingok! He did what he knows to do, feed his people. Try it. You'll feel good from deep within


The only reason 2015/16 was a deficit was the LPC were in power for the last 3 month of that fiscal year and they instructed every department to spend everything they had.

In March 2014/15 (the last full year Harper held the federal purse strings) the feds spent 3 Billion in deficit that month. In 2015/16 when the Liberals were in charge of the finances for the last quarter of that fiscal year March 2015/16 spending was in deficit by 10.4 Billion. That is a difference of 7.4 BILLION even though the government received a full 1 billion more revenue than the previous year.

John McDowell my Name is Dan Donkel, I think you know that!  The 'L" and the " R " are far apart!

That is a false report "BP said in “discovered” internal documents" and proves nothing.

It is clear to you that more oil in TAPS is better, would you agree with me on that?

Everyone knows that TAPS can shut down around 2020 if prices stay low and HB 247 is made law and they don't fix the broken system fast! Google it.

Thank God for Bill Armstrong  who testified to the Legislature  that HB 247 is Hell Bent on Running oil companies out of Alaska 24/ 7 !

I hope someone is listening to this great man!


Americans win when Republicans cannot pass their bills.

The Internet mob can be devastating. It can destroy lives and families. He should have done the responsible thing, and took the video down that morning. But he wanted his 15 min of fame.

Great article.


Gavin Neil is not setting up a false dichotomy. His comment is that it is not "of course" that competition in health care promotes efficiency and quite rightly uses the U.S. system as an example. He is not commenting on the lack of coverage and under-coverage.

One can also look at the Netherlands and their reforms to establish competitive private health insurance coverage for all and the assumed "of course" would stimulate more efficient health care delivery. Costs skyrocketed and pushed up Netherlands to among the highest of GDP spending on health.

The notion of "of course" has been questioned by the most mainstream of economists since Kenneth Arrow wrote his seminal article, "Uncertainty and the Welfare Economics of Medical Care", in 1963. Countless research and published articles over the decades say 'not of course'.


"...then use tax payer dollars to defend those breaking our laws."

We do that all the time. The Supreme Court ruled that it was a constitutional requirement in Gideon v. Wainwright.

Do you get out of your basement much?  Trudeau has denounced radical Islam countless times.  Wow,  your hate is eating your brain.


stoopid liar. no one has lied about the bloodthirsty butchers of Planned Parenthood selling baby parts for profit. they (and you) are scum.


Oh carey9 you make me laugh!

How can that be right wing? Those comments are mainstream in Canada outside the GTA. Maybe you're too extremist.


More lies. Who would believe anything Trudeau's aristocrats say.


actually you are ignorant and stupid then


Allie, you don't understand campus solidarity team sports are able to create; therefore, even renown educational institutions all have some kind of team sports. Anyway, I don't think you will ever understand.


Thank you Civil Beat for bringing out this mans concerns.  My daughter was five when a man who worked for a state program thought my daughter was a mute. She was very quiet and selective with who she talked to.  This man who worked for the state program was aware that my daughter had what they thought was a speech impairment which was not.  She had a speech delay due to our separation.  When I picked her up after work she told me that this man took her to the bathroom and he told her to touch his face.  She showed me it was in a manner that someone would who is showing intimate affection to another.  I was furious and I went back to the school.  I went to the principle who showed concern.  It was the director of the after school programs, sped classes, and paraprofessional tutors that pretended as if it never happened that it was a lie. My daughter and I are close. I worked as teacher so I knew what to do. I believe this man and I believe there should be loyalty & safety for the child.


Correction: Walker hired Rutherford on Dec. 1, 2014 (not 2016 as stated above) after her prior tenure at the State as Dep. Commish ended in Dec. 2010. (In between, Rutherford managed Linc Energy Alaska projects w/for Corri Feige.)

IMPORTANT NOTE: Rutherford held the same job title, DNR Deputy Commissioner, in 2010, when she left state employment and when Walker hired her back in 2014.

$130,000= salary at time of Dec. 2010 end date.

$184,000= salary as of today...end date unknown as she might still be on pay status (await clarification from Div of Personnel)

How can Walker account for the $54,000 difference in salary when he promised during his campaign that he'd rein in those high salaries and then repeatedly told the public we'd all have to take cuts.

Now he wants our PFD's to pay for his failed promises and inept skills to rein in salaries of his exempt, at-will, employees.

Walker/Mallott's administration is rife with mismanagement, incompetency, and lack of accountability.


M:  Well put.  Those are exactly the problems, not more money, more teachers, standardized tests, smaller class size, etc.  Good luck with solutions.


Legalize and regulate. The potential for abuse of the prostitutes remains whether legal or not without rules being set out as to the who and where of it..


Sorry always puzzled, the result is not a smaller, holier Church, but a smaller more prejudiced one!!!


Sullivan attacked Obama at every opportunity, his post election award ceremony at the Koch brother resort in California indicated to me that his interest and aspirations lie at the national level.
 I admire Moores passion and indignation at the infringement of liberty. I have no respect for any of Alaska's current representation, " crooked as a dogs hind leg ". A license to steal is the creed of the current " conservatives ".


Your fallacious reasoning is a perfect example of begging the question,Erv. Is the pension system underfunded according to the law? We don't know. Is the law clear on the issue? We don't know. Has the Florida Hospital system funded the pension in a good faith belief, based on solid legal advice, that it was legally compliant?

You presuppose, with zero understanding of the facts, law, or issues, that the answers to some or all of these questions is no.

Please help me understand, Erv, how something other than deep-seated animus toward all things Adventist could induce one to build a moral case on a foundation devoid of factual or legal knowledge or understanding.

In the meantime, I imagine the next time you hear that I am invoking C.C.P. 425.14 to protect Loma Linda University Medical Center's legal rights as a religious corporation, you can speculate about the nefarious parochial concerns that motivate the position I am taking.


I'm shocked that UAA faculty don't know the difference between possessives and contractions. Given this, it's doubtful that they will be poached, as UA faces its greatest fiscal crisis.


But the number one reason is they cost too much relative to desire for the flavors and textures.


What's Justin's position on all these proposed oil and natural gas pipelines again?


I sold my Toronto home in November of 2009 because I thought the housing "bubble' was going to pop. Figured I'd rent for a while. Since 2009 I"ve had to move 4 times because the landlord either wanted to move in or sell his condo. What a nightmare these last seven years has been. Renting is crap.


Why wait?
I jest Kag.  Stay with Holy Mother Church thru thick and thin.


It's all good, fine sir.  No need to focus on posters instead of articles.  However, it's good to know someone's perspective, especially because I have fielded many questions you have about my comments.  It's helpful to know that you are a white conservative male in answering them.  I am a white progressive female, for the record, so let's get on with the topical, civil viewpoints!

My first question is how do you feel about racial profiling?  Do you think the DP is worried that posting the race of the suspect would be considered profiling?  That was the original topic you presented in this thread!


Hear, hear! In fact, the Legislature has just a few weeks left to stand up for jobs and energy independence right here in WA with the Solar Jobs Bill: http://solarstrongwa.org/


Khadr confessed, he was not deemed a child by UN standards, he was in a battle zone fighting for the terrorist side, and he killed a medic trying to give aid to the injured.  Court decisions aside, tell me where this was the right and just thing to give this miscreant 10.5 million.  Trudeau was just trying to cover up a Liberal boondoggle made by Martin and Chretien.  The only thing Harper did was not move faster on expediting Khadr's return to Canada, which the supreme court acknowledged as the government's privilege.

Trudeau is just trying to buyout a problem created by the Liberals and blame everyone else.  He is nothing but a coward in a pretty suit.


One Death by gun is one too many. America has a problem of shooting deaths in it's hoods and the US don't need Refugees that can't be properly vetted to enter the US. This is not a chicken or egg debate, I'll use this example, you destroy all chickens and it's eggs in the US and watdayouknow, no more chickens in the US. UNLESS you "illegally" import the egg or chicken

This article is highly flawed.  Investing is about the future, not about the past!  This article wrongly focuses on the past of Home Capital which is obviously good as housing prices have run up significantly in Canada.  And Canada is not that special ---> Canadian home prices are in extreme bubble territory and (unfortunately) Canadian debt levels are extremely high (Why are people getting into bidding wars to overpay for homes - are they really stupid or on drugs?), there is a lot of downside risk in the next couple of years and it could be very tough for Home Capital, which will get definitely crushed in the next recession and if housing downturn takes place.

I think there is a small chance that Home Capital could be a ZERO in the next 5 years....


I hoped that the U.S. would see absolute proof before taking military action.  Alas, that didn't happen.  What I do find interesting and possibly damning is that the U.S. hit the Syrian airbase from which the U.S. said the Syrian planes took off with the gas.  Was there a release of the same gas at the airbase?  There was likely left over gas at the airbase, no?


For those attempting to conflate Islamophobia with Antisemitism, please understand that Antisemitism refers hatred towards a certain group of ethnicities that employed the use of certain languages (Hebrew, Aramaic, Carthaginian, Chaldaean, Syriac, etc.). The term "Semite" is an erroneous term if used to denote race and ethnicity. But it has come to mean hatred against Jews. That is fine. The difference here is that Islam is an ideology, not a race or ethnicity. People think that most Muslims are of middle-eastern descent, they are not (most Muslims are south Asian) Islamophobia implies a so-called unfounded or irrational fear of Islamic ideology. I would argue that fear of Islamic ideology is very rational and has a very well-established historical basis. If you have read the Quran and understand Sharia Law, it would be irrational for a non-Muslim NOT to have a healthy fear of Islamic ideology


No.  You didn't make a point.  You interjected politics into a story with NOTHING to do with politics.  Cannot alt-lefties like you turn it off for even 60 seconds and just enjoy a good story?

Pope Francis refused multiple requests for his participation and/or presence in the peace process. He rejected several requests by Santos and the Colombian bishops to visit. Representatives of FARC asked to meet Pope Francis during his Sept. 2015 trip to Cuba. In April 2016: FARC Commander-in-Chief Timoleon Jimenez published an open letter to Pope Francis calling for assistance in the on-going peace process.


As the fish farming grows world wide, as it will, consumers care about prices and availability more than philosophical arguments by fisherman.  Alaska can and should continue to focus on the quality of wild salmon. Alaska is not going to stop the farming in the rest of the world becasue we do not like farmed fish.  There is a segment of the population who will continue to seeks the best quality available regardless of price.  Those buyers are the exception not the rule.

As I see the situation  it is parallel to the fast food industry.  There are low priced fast food joints on every corner of most cities.  There also is a place in those cities for the white table cloth restaurants.  The customers of either are there becasue of price and service.  The preponderance of fast food places overwhelms the white table cloth places, serves as evidence that price not quality is what drives the vast majority of  customers through which door.


I'm there (retirement) and doing it. Have purchased several annuities over the past few years. I can confirm that, yes, I am less anxious about making it through retirement! I am quite aware of, and somewhat anxious about inflation too (living through the 1970s will do that). My CPP and deferred higher OAS will partly (as long as the government continues to pay) counter-act that along with, hopefully, my remaining equity investments. Also, I anticipate that, like most people, when I get to be 90, my spending will decline anyway.


Quite surprised there are still Therrien fans out there.
When Price went down last year, he changed the lineup and their style of play.

It didn't work.

This year, he hasn't been sure of what style to play.
He stifles creativity and does not put young players in a position to succeed.

Julien isn't the same coach as the one that was fired in '06.

My guess is that Habstinistas will be happy with this change.


Doctors in Canada are already among the highest paid in the world before we even take into account these tax loopholes that don't exist in countries with the most cost-efficient health care systems. If Canadian doctors keep comparing themselves only to US doctors that are working in a broken and inefficient health care system then we will never see the end of this... Canadian doctors need a reality check... Move to the US at your own perils... (dealing with insurance companies, etc...)


English please!  In English!


Wow.  You're one to talk about racism, after the thing's you've posted about First Nations.


"Roof collapses at Central Oregon school gym; no injuries" - Okay, I am a bit confused.  I thought this was a story about Central Oregon, such as Bend, Redmond, Sisters, LaPine, maybe even Warm Springs & Madras, but how did the weather related problems in Portland become relevant to the title?  All the pictures and more than half the article is about Portland.


You are paid $2,000 to $4,000 per course which are rated at about 6 hours of work per week including classsroom hours, office hours and grading. The real time can be higher if preparing slides for a new course and if you commute to multiple schools. For a 15-20 week course this about $18 to $40 an hour.
Most schools limit instructors to less than 20 booked hours per week in order to avoid paying benefits like health insurance and sick days. So the trick is getting enough courses over a year to make a living wage. Five courses per semester is pushing it, giving the instructor $20K to $40K a year, of which you pay your benefits. And you may have to spread these courses over 2 or 3 schools due to the part time rules. If you are lucky you might get a MWF set one place and TuTh elsewhere. Or a daytime/ evening split. The name of the game is hustle, hustle, hustle.


I reach the age 70 milestone in a few weeks. It seems our experiences, and lessons learned, differ considerably.

I've learned 1) that silence in the presence of one's elders is out of fear more often than out of respect, 2) conversations between generations generate more respect than they do fear, and 3) fear can be created, but respect can only be earned.

Yes, age brings experience. It does not confer wisdom. But, if any wisdom should be gathered over one's years, it should be the wisdom of acceptance of oneself as not being all that wise.

Know-it-all's in their seventies are no more tolerable than know-it-all's in their twenties.

Listening to the young folk is an opportunity to learn.


I think euthanasia is the legal term.


Where do all those airplanes go when not in use? Where is the land for airports going to come from? How about all those cars and how are they going to get to the airport and where are they going to park? What happens if an engine fails on a plane? There are thousands of issues that haven't been answered or engineered.

The same basic questions apply to anything new. If society stopped every time, we would be still living without the wheel.


Trudeau DID teach math and French, correct? I have no idea why anybody would remove reference to him being a drama teacher as there's nothing wrong with that either. Wikipedia entries can be edited by anybody - how do you know who edited Trudeau's entry, assuming that it has been?


Okay. Granted the organization may be far-left and deal in highly slanted info, but what I am interested in is whether the info presented in the webpage sited IS or IS NOT truthful and accurate. If not, show where it isn't and please cite a better source that is. It would also be nice to show how it is slanted.
There are a number of webpages devoted to that subject. Trying out several Google searches I see that the one cited is listed first when searching 'Benghazi facts and myths check'.


I'm glad the Border Patrol and ICE have stepped up enforcement. Keep up the good work!


From an evolutionary standpoint, Trump doesn't even have legs yet.  Or gills (it just looks that way: they're jowls, actually).


So much better to just ignore cops killing blacks, right fiveo?  They deserve it.  We just want to watch a football game and get drunk.  So very American.

If God did have a hand in the founding, he or she must be shaking their head like crazy today.

How could a country get away from God so much where violance is tolerated and actually celebrated each week?  So very Christian.


The plaintiff is the Washington State, in this case. I included the judge because the federal DISTRICT court clearly overstepped its authority. This will be quashed on the appeal as Mr. Ferguson has no case.


You have this...and then you have Elizabeth Renzetti's latest column ("Is Donald Trump losing his war on Reality?") and then, Tabetha Southey's column, ("Five Summer Movies Walk Into a Bar")

Boy, Dog Days of Summer, indeed.


If there is no requirement in the recall definition that it only be used in certain cases then it seems to me the citizens can use recall for whatever reasons they choose.  Trying to impose your standard is ridiculous.  If a standard is required, let it become part of the statute that defines how, when, and why someone may be recalled.


Ipi iMali?


is saving innocent lives bad? when laws encourage the loss of innocent lives, are they still good?

I know I'm not providing perfect solutions, but this is more than a logical issue, since what's happening is madness.


Interesting that some of the the posters from the right disagree with my comment on the violence, that it's time to pull together, and focus our thoughts and prayers on all who suffered from this violent act -- very revealing in my opinion.


Which increases the velocity of money in the economy, boosts spending, increases profits for businesses large and small, etc.  Basically the only people who lose are plutocrats who can't squeeze extra bucks out of their employees to pump back into scam stock buy back schemes and other sterile speculative financial navel gazing.  But of course the plutocrats are the ones our government works for and so we increasingly become a nation of peasants working for starvation wages while healthy democracies and their citizens flourish.


Question. For those who are persuaded by the author's argument, why does it not also make sense to defer OAS. Other than the obvious risk of its abolition ( dont think any political party will alienate the senior voting block) and the increase in the deferred benefit is only 35% vs 42%.


Hunt those men down and string em up.


Not surprisingly coming from you - you have no understanding of the nature of liturgy.

Humans aren't "pointed" toward anything.  Humans are always in relationship to other humans - that is our nature.

BTW, God speaks to us for sure, but that is only a human metaphor. God cannot talk because God doesn't have a physical body ... didn't you study your catechism?

As Jesus taught us:  "Where two or three are gathered in my name, there I am among them" and "the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath" ...  that is the purpose of any human ritual or liturgy.


There are 11 words in the first sentence of my comment. Read them and make a attempt to understand fully before you spew your negativity. Now Consider yourself educated. But please note that what you do with that education is strictly a example of your morals and values as a human.


From some of the Canadian  alt right commentators here, it's clearly not exclusively a failing of the US education system.


Roy your defending lying to ethics , you saying bribery not a problem.. this whole rail is falling apart because our foundation starts with honesty. Rail is falling because of pay to play..


The response from the public is just a tad extreme and based on the public outcry and personal harm threats, I'd say that Mr. Sorrentino struck a nerve with some very insecure people. Sounds like after reading the article, some folks may have realized that they actually fit the description provided.There use to be a time when people(men and women alike) dressed appropriately when leaving their home and were embarrassed if their panty lines showed.
I'd challenge the offended individuals to ask themselves if they have ever posted, shared, or laughed with others about pictures or people you thought were wearing outrageous clothing in public? If so, then you my friend, are nothing more than a hypocrite. It's time for all of the thin-skinned people to get down off the podium and get a grip. Last I checked, we live in the USA and enjoy the right to freedom of speech. This man should apologize to no-one for voicing his opinion.

You're right.  The country is going down the drain.  Brilliant, know-it-all people like you should get out while you can.
Today is good.  Yesterday was better.  No doubt there's someone who will miss you.


I'm glad my high school football coaches never pussed out like this guy.


How do you know it's going to lead to chaos?

Right now the preferred solution of Trudeau/Clinton/Obama/Merkel/etc... is slow motion ethnic cleansing. You think that's better?


No they're not, with the possible exception of the victim. Marijuana possession should never have been a crime. Of the attackers, one was housed and two apparently homeless. There are violent people among both the housed and homeless, and they're a minority in both cases. I know of no evidence that homeless people are more violent than housed. A few news stories don't prove anything.

On the other hand, the homeless are very vulnerable to attack, from both housed & homeless, since they have no locked doors to protect them. Especially women, who I've heard are "terrified". They are also in danger from disease, due to exposure to the weather and lack off medical care, and die much younger than the housed.


I attended today's lecture and the lecture was held in the Social Science Building Room 1118.  It's not in the Bookstore!  Professor Madley presented a lump in the throat lecture of the US federal and state governments genocidal actions against California's American Indian people.  Anyone reading American history knows that what happened to California Indians was widespread across the nation.  American Indian lands were stolen by our governments.  Bigots and racists arrogantly stereotype American Indians and Alaska Natives as freeloaders of government handouts.  Bigots and racists don't even know half the truth or history.


Can't be done. What can be done is provide you an astonishing amount of evidence of how our unfathomably large and vast universe was created without a creator, which scientists do all of the time. "The good thing about science is it's true whether you believe it or not." NDT

Only you could put such a ridiculous spin on what is currently happening. There is not one political commentator who comes remotely close to your obvious over the top partisanship. It's fine to be blindly partisan, but don't make the mistake of posting these views. In two days you are the only regular Liberal to show up on these forums.


Thank you for proving my point.


You are living in a dream.


Anytime we try to destroy people, who are trying to get their opinion across, if we agree with them or not, it is not our right to do harm to them, as long as they are not abusive to any other!! None of us was chosen by GOD to destroy our enemies, whether we agree with them or not!! Don't try to play GOD, it won't work, except to do more harm!!


Nobody saw this coming? Go to any local sporting event, especially a Rockies game and witness 1/4 of the crowd cheering for the visiting team, then when that team leaves town, witness 1/4 crowd cheering for the next visiting team that shows up. Suddenly the sad reality sets in that this place is overrun with transplants. The road congestion is becoming intolerable. Hiking trails resemble Disneyland anymore. ENOUGH!


"From what you can tell..." says to me that you have likely not traveled to the area. I was there yesterday. Those people are struggling and need jobs.

It is widely known that Shell pulled out of the Chukchi last year after Obama met with the President of Shell USA at the Hotel Captain Cook. Shell was told not to even bother finishing their well because this action would take place and no further development permits would be granted. They never finished their well at Burger and pulled out in a matter of days.


How is this statement not racist?  If you are talking about the South in America, there are many more Black people than there are in this state established with the intent to exclude Black people from living here.  Please clarify what you meant to say.


The problem with TV is that much of it represents a kind of synthetic reality. Real life is always a bit more blunt, a bit more bold, brash, and a little bit more nasty at times. And if you watch enough TV, this false reality transforms into a subliminal message. That all is as it should be. And then when the commercial breaks occur, the mind is primed for acceptance because "all is as it should be". We don't live in that world folks. You should throw those TV sets away.


Just admit it. The Council has no clue on what to do with the greatest debacle in Hawaiian history.


After 8 years of Bush getting blamed by Liberals why not .


If Trump and the states want Amazon to collect State Sales tax then all they need to do is amend their laws.  Currently for most there needs to be a physical presence in the state to trigger the tax.


I am sure Trudope could have chartered a boat at his own expense.
Aga offered his chopper and Trudope accepted - apparently that is a big NO NO

Do you often take fellow co-workers on 'private, family vacations'?
The optics alone stink from a million miles away.


I'm with you all the way AFT. The psychological fall out from the exposure of the clerical abuse scandal, made me question my faith very deeply. Eventually I realised that all the problems were centered on the institutional church. Coming from the background as an "Irish Catholic" that grew up in the 1940's/ 50's ; pre-VII; the hierarchy dominated Irish life, as a very powerful & influential force. We were "institutionalised" and unquestioningly endeavored to follow all the rules blindly.
Following the exposure of the abuse scandal; in despair to find out "why" & "how could they"; I accidentally analysed the last 200 years approx of the church, from the Vatican to Ireland. As a result of the "litmus test"; my faith in the credibility of the institutional church collapsed. Their claims to infallibility & direct spiritual guidance from above, were laid bare; as were their conclusions & decisions. They were very flawed & that brought me back to basic Christianity. Lumen de Lumine.


It takes a lot of moxie to succeed Robert Finn and talk about guilt by association.


Yet...


Really, you want to stake your Blue Jackets turnaround on a hot streak with numbers that are arguably not sustainable?  From a team that has made the playoffs twice in its history, has never won a playoff round, and whose predictions from all the writers pre-season were a team targeted to not make the playoffs?  You're ready to project them as a turnaround story?  I'll wait to see where they stand on the last day of the season.  Maybe they will be maintain their winning ways but this was hardly something that anyone foresaw until it happened.  At this point in the season, that is not the foundation for a strong turnaround story with legs.


To claim that Church doctrine never changes requires either ignorance of history or dishonesty. Because the fact is that it has changed on any number of subjects.


So, you think the two things are mutually exclusive?


You're missing the point.

The GOP investigated HRC for 4 years regarding Benghazi....and had little to show for it.....and yet, you seem to think that this is a big waste of time.  As I have said many times......maybe there is nothing here, but Trump and his people have given us a reason to look into it.  If you want to blame someone for all of this, then blame them (or is personal responsibility so 1990s?).

And.....would you be defending the Dems if the shoe was on the other foot?


Betty Taylor and George Brown voted against tearing down the former City Hall.
There was quite an opposition to tearing down the award-winning structure and there
were several outspoken Letters to the Editor with many comments.   If the true
costs had been given...it would have never happened.

No one tears down a building without having a firm idea of what the cost of the rebuild
will be.   This is beyond incompetence.


The conservative party of 1860 consisted of Abraham Lincoln and was republican not democratic. Yes, it was the progressive party that spawned the KKK and the conservative party that wanted to do away with slavery. That is still true today. Well, mostly, the progressives changed beginning in the late 40's causing the slavery defenders to split off, called the Dixiecrats. When that failed, all but 4 returned to the democratic party. You are absolutely correct about one thing though. You can't be a current member of the republican party and a progressive. That was also true in 1860.


That's because they couldn't care less that their ways depleted fisheries populations.


Hmm, wonder if Caldwell is looking for a senate seat via Ige....kinda like how Shatz got his?


Skipping your harshly judgmental accusations, take a look on the PAEC website at how well those $23 tickets are selling, or should I say AREN'T selling. Is it better to sell 10 $23 tickets or 25 $11 tickets? Or 50 $7 tickets?

The PAEC shouldn't have been built at all. It was never put to a public vote and doesn't serve the community in which it exists. I agree Federal Way needs a cultural identity, but not this one. A great start would've been a children's museum that also had attractions adults would've found enjoyable. If not that, then something else that kept costs and admission low so more community members could participate. The PAEC only serves a select few.


They might not be islands of sweetness and light, but they are always BETTER than male-run organizations. Men cannot be trusted in any position where they might have power over women.


Insurers have done this every year already, you know, before President Trump WON the last election. Ex President Obama is too blame for that.


"and whether the state has conducted or commissioned audits of those costs or the enrollees’ eligibility."


Yeah, and a couple hours later Ford cancelled plans on a billion $ investment in Mexico, moving it to Michigan.


The Bank of Canada being as opaque as it is, it only provides charts and not tables in its outlook document. Even so, it is clear that business expected a lot more inflation at the time of this winter survey than they did in the fall. Around 80% expect CPI inflation to exceed the 2% target as opposed to around 70% three months previous. Dave mentions this being the first survey since the election of Donald Trump but Trump’s name isn’t mentioned in the outlook document at all. However, independent of Trump’s election, it is likely that the increasing probability of a federal funds rate increase and then the actuality of one over the survey period led respondents to anticipate higher inflation. This interest rate rise, which will almost certainly not be matched by the Bank of Canada, will certainly have an inflationary impact over much of 2017.


Article 25 Section 4.


Well now that you've questioned my honesty.  I'm still waiting for an answer to my question.

BTW, I'm sticking with my earlier assertion," The "C" marking is abused on a daily basis.  I can assure you.


"Tolerant" libs trying to control who celebrities associate with. Never mind when it's even  our democratically elected president.  Libs are so hypocritical and funny that it's cartoonish.


Our town has gone to hell.  Its time to play Cowboys and Samoans.


They keep doing the same thing with mine, so as you can see they don't discriminate: they go equally after anyone who posts anything challenging their narrow views. They have obviously chosen to believe only in alternate facts, perhaps because they find reality a major threat to their beliefs.

In the end, Trumpeteers seem to be just a reflection of the very same people that Trump surrounds himself with. However, let's not forget that for Trump loyalty is a one way avenue. So far he has not hesitated in throwing under the bus anyone around him who sees things differently and dares to say so.


You see some of the old clergy rape victims are better off getting some hush money handout at C. D’s discretion?   And hide CI (Catholic Institution) criminal behavior of hiding and condoning clergy rapes of children is find to you?

So what kind of faith journey are you leading?    You are not saying that God of Catholic is OK with clergy rape of children?   Who wants to worship God with the child rapist organization?

In that case, why bother with religion at all?  Surely the child rapists are OK by CI, divorced/remarried or LGBT fork are angels and even abortion are OK too since the clergy rape victims kill themselves often.

What kind morality one grew up with to not see that the clergy child rapes can’t co-exist with any kind of religion?


Yep- The smart thing to do is try to tie every GOP contender and office holder to this anchor and let gravity do its thing.


Whom are you writing for ?

As a shareholder of Kinder Morgan, I think their initiative, approach and result were brilliant,
As a property owner in BC, I am also a supporter.
As a person, handy with a calculator, I know the cost per barrel is just a fraction of a single percent.
As far as free movement of goods across provincial borders. Are we talking about Canada ??
Let's turn down the hysteria and leave this transaction between two willing parties alone.


How dare real Americans question the Dear Leader! Those that investigate should be punished, amirite?


"It was the second consecutive balanced budget for the Liberals."

50% of NS's budget comes from equalization and other federal handouts.


I said constructive.  Massive debt and fueling the middle east nuts like Hussein with chem weapons technology isn't constructive, unless you hate America.


"Oh, I’ll pound you when I see you."

Oh man, I would pay to see Kimmel try that. Get real guy! He probably meant I'll give you a pound cake when I see you.


Early voting shouldn't be allowed.  Too much room for voter fraud.


Boeing claims that the Quebec government buying a stake in the CSeries project at a bargain price is an unfair subsidy. Completely different from the $8.7 billion in tax breaks Boeing got from Washington State. Or the $35 billion rigged tanker deal that they got from the U.S. federal government. Or the $900 million they got from South Carolina.


I love False Bay. Please let us know what we can do as citizens.


Let us forget that "fact."

"the Australian Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse found that the average time it took between a victim of Catholic sexual abuse being abused and reporting it, or seeking redress, is 33 years."

IOW, the abuse that was brought to light started many years earlier. If it was news in 1980, it probably happened in the 1940s. While that is the figure in Australia, there isnt much reason to think it was different elsewhere. The accusations against Maciel in the 90s were for abuse in the 50s, though there is evidence of later abuse. It simply isnt true that abuse began with the generation ordained in the '60s, it is closer to the truth that it began coming to light with that generation.


Thank you.


The arrogant, in-your-face demands being made by these 'kids' you weasel word to 'ask' is not civilized behavior and need not be tolerated by anyone.


and rising prices...10cents here...25 cents there...every 6 months or more...for me it is not the place to go or have meet ups anymore. It's home now, better coffee..better cake or cookies, and way cheaper...


There is no rational basis at this point for anyone to disregard or marginalize reports in Washington Post or New York Times based upon unnamed officials, senior advisor, etc. and yet people keep trying.  Trump proved beyond question on numerous occasions that the story he's concocted are lies after some unnamed official leaked the truth.  Yet people still want to buy into his fantasies.  It's gotten to the point I'm tired of hearing the same "fake news" protestations and trying to not just write off anyone who objects like that as irrational but it gets harder with every article.
I curious.  Has there been a single occasion where a leak was proven wrong in regards to Trump since his inauguration?  Perhaps that is why he feels the media is "treating him unfairly" because they can report on leaks he considers a "witch hunt" but he cannot?


I see the Rail Station to nowhere in Waipahu is making progress with more sprouting up like weeds along the Route. Just amazing.


No, I'm asking because I believe for you and other liberals, blacks are required to march to the same political drummer as you.
What's your opinion of Dr. Ben Carson? A successful neurosurgeon and POTUS candidate. I don't hear him crying racism.  Perhaps that's because he's a very productive member of society, who didn't rely on government or anyone else to determine his lot in life.


I am so tired of opinion pieces laying out one grand plan or another without putting any numbers to it.  Mr. Havelock, how much of a tax will be required to keep the PFD intact and still balance the budget?  Lay out the numbers so that once everybody picks themselves up off the floor, they can look at the PFD with blinders off.


And in the United States of America, Christians voted for Donald Trump. How's that for "issues"?


But, of course, a LOT of religions (and religionists) DO violate some OTHER people's rights. As do their adherents. Sadly. (Eg.: "The Bible tells me so" ... selectively, of course.)

Belief is different from actions. They're/we're all free to believe as we wish. NONE of us are free to discriminate in the secular, public, civic square because of those beliefs. It seems to be very difficult for some (evangelicals, specifically, but by no means exclusively) to grasp this concept. They seem to have confused commerce for religious exercise. (See 'cake shops' and 'florists'.)

No one is seeking to change their beliefs. (I sincerely doubt that is even possible.) It is their discriminatory actions that are the problem. They're corrosive to a CIVILized society.


#notmyunion. I am a nurse at Eugene Urgent care and I voted no for union. I felt pressured and harresed by union reps... constant phone calls.. constant visits to my house even after they were told I was dealing with family issues... if they have to bully, pressure, and harass people to get them to vote, then I do not think they will do any good.. I love where I work and who I work with and for, yes change is good, but our company deserves a chance to make the changes right now they understand they mistakes...


"The Pope can lead a worship service for Lutherans..."  How did you change the nature of the planned event?  Evidently you have a lot of strings you can pull.  Reports on this celebration has Pope Francis listed as a guest, or if you wish, a co-celebrant - of an ecumenical prayer service.  Yeah - sort of like what Pope Benedict XVI did with Muslims, and St. John Paul II did with Jews....should I go on?  You make it out to be a Eucharistic liturgy, which of course it is not.  Let's stick to the facts and the appropriate words, as I am sure you do not want to sow confusion and falsehoods, do you?


Or you get private insurance (like health) when you travel...


For goodness sake -- just because something is within federal jurisdiction doesn't mean it's a good idea for the federal government to strong-arm the issue.  The National Energy Policy of Trudeau the 1st was also within federal jurisdiction, but in hindsight, not many people think that forcing it whole down Alberta's throat was smart, and I'm pretty sure Trudeau v.2 agrees.

As for chicken little pundits warning that the constitutional sky is falling, the NDP-Green coalition isn't even government yet, and trying to barter, cajole, or reason with them would not make Trudeau v.2 into headwaiter to the provinces.  It would be a sensible first step.  The good news is that he doesn't owe the NDP or Green party any loyalty.


Thank you for sharing.


The dental examination is not a "review".  What you are describing is called "a loss-leader" in retail.  Do you know the cost of the service that you received?  Do you care?
Go to Mexico where that "work" will done without health regulations, exposing you to potential infection; materials and products that are likely not approved for use in Canada and US; and personnel who are likely unlicensed.
As Oscar Wilde said, "Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing."


Stop thinking readers and start thinking market.  If you are looking for a house, you look at the House section.  Ditto cars.  The rest of the paper doesn't matter.  Advertizers couldn't care less if the paper gets read, they just want response to their ads.

But you are right, print revenues are rapidly eroding.  Still immigration occupies a big part of media corporation marketing strategy and has for the past 40 years.   Also, some of the media corps own ethnic papers.

Cheers,

This is a cheesy, backdoor way to borrow ever more money - sell the asset now, get money for our out-of-control government to spend NOW, while the lost revenue is spread out into the future.  And airports are a serious part of national security - does Justin really want to sell them to foreign interests?? How short-sighted, greedy, naive, stupid etc. can you be??  CUT SPENDING, stop subsidizing idiotic bits of "innovation" policies, fire about half of your bureaucrats, and cut the pay of those that remain by 15% to 40% (higher cuts at higher incomes).   Quit paying OAS to wealthy seniors - in the short term, change the clawback - longer term, means test on income.  Don't sell valuable assets, screwing future generations more than we already are.  How can JT look into a camera and claim to be any friend of the young, as he piles debt upon their heads directly, and by sleazy schemes like privatization???


The U of A land is some of the best.  Over and over in the last years I have come across UA land.  The bad state land is sold to the public but the UA land sits idle.  It is about time the UA sell some of that land.


You're citing a survey that is over 30 years old?  How about the Oahu growth master plan that's also nearly 30 years old.  The master plan that made Kapolei into Oahu's second city.  Hows that coming along?  There's thousands of homes in Kapolei, yet 90% of those who live there still got to travel into town for work.  What happened to the jobs and companies that supposed to move or open in Kapolei?  I shall await your answer.


Perhaps.  But good luck suing someone in China.  That's were they were all designed and manufactured.  "Bad" and "not ISO tested" are two different things.  That's why there are no stories of anyone with burned out eyes.

Even in China's lawless manufacturing industry, a group would not intentionally go on a mission to blind half the world.  Making compliant lenses costs exactly 0 cents more than making non-compliant lenses, and there are no stories of mass blindness from "fake" glasses, so there you go.


Why isn't being wealthy and not sharing your wealth with others a mortal sin?  Didn't Jesus have something to say about this?  And the issue is that you can be a good wealthy person but you can also be a pious remarried person who is the innocent victim in the relationship.  The issue is that remarried people are summarily barred from Communion while wealthy CEOs aren't.  This includes wealthy CEOs who are actually bad and greedy people.


. . . ? a bunch of killjoys in the comment section? Really.. ??

What is that sweeping generalization based on?

Ms. Cormier presents an 'ugly' representation of English citizens living in London currently, as well as those living 70+ years ago...

The couched vitriol portrayed in this article certainly explains why she likely did not write this article for the consumption of 'English' newspapers.

Cormier's representation of London is loaded with 'sly put-down' once one cuts through the derisive dichotomous doublespeak.

. . . and quite honestly, calling Canada home is nothing to "grumble" about.


The argument makes absolutely no sense ------ "It is the separate VA system, housing system, and commissary system that has isolated the military from too much of the country. For example, the original purpose of the commissary system was for those who are serving overseas."  I lived on post at Fort Leonard Wood, Fort Rucker, and Fitzsimons.  The commissary, PX, and movie theatres were located on post for the benefit of the many families living there as well.  It is odd to suggest, for example, that military families would have to drive twenty to thirty miles at Leonard Wood. Most military facilities were constructed miles from local communities.


Speaking of whores, what's Donny Rumps wife up to?


Big Brother is watching you. Everywhere you carry your cellphone, use a Presto transit card, your whereabouts are being monitored. Every time you walk on the street, there are probably CCTVs recording you. Every time you use your credit card or payment app, or swipes a loyalty card, some organization is accumulating information.  Every computer or appliance connected to the internet is sending information to the manufacturer's service center.

We are always at war. Oceania may not be at war with Eurasia or Eastasia, but we have been in a cold war with one or the other, and now al-Quaeda, and then ISIS, if not a war against drugs, illegal migrants, or the politically incorrect.

Since at least 9/11, the U.S. has demanded patriotism and not opposing voices. Trump has taken it further with demanding media be "nice" and subscribe to his "facts".

To a fair degree, 1984 is upon us.
