One common theme of these recent incidents is the fingerprinting and photographing of some folks. In these cases the traveler was turned away after the guards obtained the fingerprints.  I believe it's obvious that the guards had already decided the traveler would not be permitted entry. Yet the continued the charade in order to collect those prints.  It's quite clear to me that if the guards ask for your fingerprints, they have already determined your not getting in.

Time to examine church laws and faith profession. Where is the Gospel message urging trust in ways and means of violence?


I have been involved in gun rights for more than 20 yrs. I am fully versed in Federal law. Read your own bill. It states "under indictment," that's a plain language reading. As the saying goes, "a decent prosecutor can indict a ham sandwich." Yet the accused is not allowed to present evidence to the Grand Jury and, per the law, is legally -innocent- of any crime until actually convicted.


""Canadians benefit when we have a time on the Security Council," Trudeau told reporters"  after speaking to the UN.  How do Canadians benefit  Trudeau?
How many Canadians can name the times Canada had a seat on the Security Council and what the benefit it was to them and their fellow citizens?


So the "Right Wing agenda" doesn't always meet young families needs huh? I hope Wohlforth's not inferring that any of his left wing agendas fit the bill. But this is "ADN World" after all.....where any lunacy is acceptable.


Sorry to hear about McCain.  He is one of the few current Republicans who have spoken calmly, while the rest are lugging around flaming faggots* and pitchforks, claiming to be for law and order.

ixtlan, I agree. We should either get rid of the boards, which lack any decision making authority and are therefore ineffective, or truly empower towns with local councils and mayors. The current system provides the appearance of democracy without true representation - all too often devolving into a forum for grousing about problems without the ability to do anything about them - waste time brah!


It is remarkable that neither the Liberals changing the bill nor the people advocating for the change can tell us how many people are likely to be eligible to be added to the roll of status Indians.  There is potentially a lot of money involved.

Posted at 8:36 AM on President's Day.  Extremely timely 'news'.   Totally useless unless you already have the day off and can instantly change your plans to actually use these locations before dark.   Wonder when the US Forest Service published their press release?

I don't think they do that anymore....


Nothing in your post is true, starting with your belief that Palestinians are Arabs - they are not, they are Semites (just like the Jews).


You don't have go to the rivers bank to find trash. Just visit some of the lesser know Eugene Parks and you will find the grounds in general poorly kept and trash from one end to the other. Throughout Eugene and Springfield pay attention to LTD bus stops where LTD provides no garbage can and trash is left on the ground.


Not sure if I would file the UPX train in the common sense file.

A huge amount of money that was very poorly spent based upon ridership one year after start up and a major drop in fare price points.

Don't get me started on Presto......  They could have chosen to lease the Oyster Card system from the London transportation group and decided to re create the wheel with the presto system.


It's okay Larry. I was being a bit sarcastic about feeling warm and fuzzy. There's a lot of things I'd like to say but it wouldn't be civil and the Homeland Security might throw me in a hole some where for being a terrorist. We've lost our freedom of speech already and it won't be long before we won't be able to vote any more. I just get disgusted with the entire political crap machine!

You're trying to fool people - there are no lone horses roaming 400 acres or 1000 acres anywhere.  Some places are more amenable to wild horses than others and in some of the places that are hospitable to them there are overpopulations which leads to environmental problems which include starvation of some of those horses.

Also bear in mind horses are not a native species.


So, the first amendment no longer applies? Funny, I thought the POTUS was supposed to uphold the Constitution, not selectively choose when it does or does not apply.


Every President has their good points and their bad points and President Trump has a wider spread than some, but his administration is getting it right when it comes to the reduction of regulation.

Unlike popular myth, the president really can't control the legislative agenda. That's Congress's job. FDR was able to bully them and that created the popular myth of the POTUS as king, able to do whatever he wants, but it is indeed a myth. Congress was always meant to be the primary governing body through its law-making capacity.

But, for a century now, the administrative state (technically under the auspices of the POTUS, but continuing from one administration to another) has added layers of regulation on top of laws that strangle our economy. Alaskans know this better than any other state.

So, good job, Sec. Chao and President Trump, for recognizing that red tape strangles and you can still have robust environmental protections without federal abuse of the states.

It is disappointing that the Globe failed to mention the Toronto experience with a high-speed rail link from downtown to its main airport, particularly when that project appears to be a financial nightmare for taxpayers.  Below is a link to a Globe article from 18 months ago which stated that the trains were 90% empty.  Government public transit mega-projects have a long history of costs much higher than forecast, and revenues much lower, with taxpayers paying for the huge losses.

The Russians are saying that Putin got everything he wanted from this meeting, and most important, the first true bi-lateral meeting as equals between our countries in decades. Russia has been trying to get that acknowledgment for many, many years and Trump just handed it to him. And now Putin is daring Trump to call his statement that Trump "accepted" the denials a lie. Trump won't do it, you watch. Who knows what was really said in that meeting...

"“He was a great guy,” Mueller said. “I never flew with him, so I don’t know his pilot skills.”

That's kind of interesting.  Renting a plane is not like renting a car where you grab the keys and drive off.  A plane's owner always checks out a perspective renter's skills (pattern flight, some touch and goes, etc.) before he lets somebody rent his plane.  This guy must not have a very big rental fleet....less now.  I'd never rent a low wing 50 year old Piper for a circle island sightseeing flight.  No newish high wing Cessna 172s in his fleet?


I voted for Nader instead of Bush, because I couldn't possibly vote for Gore, but Bush won without my vote. The end does not justify the means, we must vote for who we want, not who we think will win.

Right-wingers often throw around the term "free speech" as a cloak to justify attacking or disparaging others. What they don't seem to understand is that there is a huge difference between free speech and hate speech. Hate speech should have no place on any campus, or anywhere in this country. It divides communities along religious, cultural, racial and political lines. This is not healthy for our country or our youth. It is possible to show respect while criticising someone at the same time. And why is it that the most inflammatory people in this country are the only ones complaining that their "free speech" is being violated?


Joy and celebration when 22 people were murdered? I think we can deduce from that what side you are on Ross.


I always buy travel insurance for trips/cruises because of the unknowns that could occur--accidents, weather, delays, etc.

THe cruise line (Carnival in this case) insurance is more expensive and has lower coverages than going direct to our travel insurance provider GENERALI  Travel Insurance.  Their website www.generalitravelinsurance.com has plans with the highest medical and emergency transport coverages in the marketplace.


One factor working agains this prediction is that the decline of the Euro against the USD - thanks in part to Donald Trump's inflating inducing budget plan - is a de facto devaluation that is likely to help paper over the economic weakness of the southern European economies. The Euro is a good bet to slip below par with the USD.

Another western mercenary in indirect support of a deranged and degenerate hard right-wing ideological cause of enslavement, authoritarianism, fascism, and subversion of liberal democracy? Did you promise to support his family if he did this thing? Guys. We were not born yesterday.


"Let them fight"?  Utter hypocrisy to advocate this when you arm and finance their enemies. "The liberal hates himself." Find a liberal to complain to. I'm not a liberal. Most are as useless as the self-worshiping, hypocritical "super-patriots" who embrace the satanic fallacy of "anna khairum min'hum"--"I'm BETTER than him." It rationalizes their bloodiest atrocities, and ultimately it WILL destroy them. Military "superiority" and the economic largess derived from it doesn't automatically equal cultural, social, ethical, moral or spiritual superiority. All it means is that your "superior" at killing and stealing. And that is ALWAYS a temporary situation.

If the average age is 25 and they have been here for at least 5 years chances are they weren't children when they got here. Reagan's biggest regret after leaving office was the amnesty he made a deal and allowed ...he knew it was like putting up a sign telling the worlds transients ...if you can sneak in to our country we will hand you a citizenship and lots of freer stuff. All over the US (outside of mexifornia oregon and washington) finding a democrat in power isn't an easy thing to do. The legal voters of this country decided at every level that the GOP should be trusted with that power because they would follow the law and support the middle class the left has destroyed with attacks like O-Care and failing to protect their wage rates from cheap unskilled foreign labor. We can either do what we promised we would do or we can prepare ourselves to take their place on the back benches ...


Sounds like the Sullivan agenda.  But you forgot the part about eliminating Unions.


Yes, it is exhausting to hear the boomers complain. In addition to being in a terrible position financially, millennials need to listen to the know-it-alls  complaining about them. It is a shame that boomers don't know how to read newspapers and understand statistics that discredit the majority of their complaints.

If, as discussed here, these people are talking of retiring together and share meals and confidences daily while living next to each other, they are behaving like life partners, not exes, whether they are having conjugal relations or not.  To call them "exes" is absurd.

This I so wrong on so many levels.  Who gets to sanitize history?  The answer is apparently a mob of politically correct vandals who can't view history in context.  These people are a bubble off of the same collective mindset displayed by ISIS in tearing down ancient temples and statues.  They assign meaning and claim injury to objects that have long ago lost any aura.  These people can't separate the past from the present.  They lack an ability to get past their self-absorption and see how this could apply, in the future, to statues erected today.    These memorials are a part of our collective past.  The reasons for their erection are as much a part of the past as the actions or people they depict and none of these reasons or actions happened in a vacuum.  They took place as a time where norms were entirely different.  These changes in our society are memorialized, in part, by how these events and people are viewed now, not by trying to erase them as if they never existed.


Incredible,
Trump temporary immigration ban of 6 arab nations hostile to American lives, brought a doomsday scenario from the usual left, "the dark ages, a blow against science, a blow against islam, a blow against high tech., -Silicone Valley-"
Now, Dooms day all over again, every one repent!.
Really?
Trump just saved trillions of dollars, in the long run, to hardworking american taxpayers,
that otherwise they would've had to pay under the Obama- Hillary team, had they won.
Man made Climate change is a terrible scam, Trump is right.


On the contrary, I see it daily, everyone has an excuse, and it's always the same something or someone to blame, their childhood, abuse, bad parents, no parents, not enough attention, drugs are still a choice and it comes down to accepting responsibilities for your actions and making a change.


The government remains "Of, by and for the people". Those who hate it have to wind up hating themselves.

Ross - the chance of Warner making that parade available would be rather slim. There has only been a "Warner Archive Collection" DVD release, some 10 years ago, which has no extras. If Warner was to have a real DVD or BD release, there might me outtakes or such, but I doubt that this title has had much appeal, outside of a few older Alaskans. A quick check today shows no availability of it on DVD, even at Warner Archive. There is a PAL R2 from Spain, which does have the spoken English track, as well as a Spanish track. I will not be selling my copy, which is part of my Alaskan collection.


John, those insured under O'Care can't afford the premiums or deductibles or co-pays, and therefore don't go to the doctor. It hasn't helped them. Others have been pushed off.

Solutions need to be market driven, just like w/ auto insurance or homeowners or renters insurance - portability across state lines, MSA's, catastrophic options, insurers selling across state lines, major tort reform.

There will be consequences IF the GOP does nothing or something. Either way, too many of us rebelled against the gargantuan and monolithic control of the Federal Gov't. We put more & more conservatives in Congress, and Ryan & Mitchell still won't do what they promised. Those 2 would prefer to be loved than do what is proper. Repealing WILL force both sides to admit that something needs to be done to contain costs and to come to a compromise. Mind you, our President is not a conservative, and may wish to get the 2 sides working.


Slow news day?


For those who have not taken the time to read Bob's books, find the time.  I had my fix meant late last year, early this year, read eleven of his books, purchase books for friends, and at Halloween gave out "52 Lessons from A Christmas Carol", one I highly recommend for this time of year.  (four children from our neighborhood that we give books and candy to).  Looking forward to this book and will be one of the first to purchase.  So if you have not read his books, do so, you will be hooked like myself, he is that good.


Putin told Trump to halt the CIA's efforts to aid Syrian rebels and Trump said "sure Putie, anything you say". Putin also told Trump that he want's back the two Russian spy compounds Obama seized last year. You watch....that's what will happen next. But yeah, according to the Trumpkins nothing going on here...it's all innocent....


Well, hey, join the club sky.  All my posts pointing out that this amounts to using coercion to force people to behave the way you want got zapped too.

HRC lost because she directly named called over 40% of voters, within a 2 minute period,  as "deplorable" = lamentable, regrettable, unfortunate, wretched, atrocious, awful, terrible, dreadful, diabolical; sorry, poor, inadequate.  HRC supporters would then suggest these deplorable voters are thinned skinned, backlash voters.

People loath this leftist hypocrisy, arrogance, and podium righteousness.  It was HRC's election to lose and the mask came off during two short minutes.

I guess you really are fit to make such calls, aren't you? LOL


The use of anecdotes to describe how patients misuse opiates is driving the State's demand to control more of sick or injured people's lives.   Doctors make medical decisions concerning individual patient's care.  Another layer of bureaucracy with arbitrary limits and gatekeepers like pharmacists is not only not needed, but interferes with the Doctor/Patient relationship that we are all entitled to maintain.  The chair of the Interim Study Committee says that she is pushing this legislation because her mother was an addict.  I'm sorry to hear that, but it has nothing to do with the needs of thousands of Coloradan's who suffer from chronic pain.  Dr's go to school for nearly a decade to understand medical science. Not pharmacists, or law enforcement officers and certainly not legislators.

Potentially suffering from life time spinal, head and other permanent injuries affected ones physical well being aren't worth participating in this sport! Why take a chance with permanent injuries to one's healthy body for the glories and praises to appeased parents and family members?


The point is exactly that. To not allow people to be hired and promoted solely based on genetic heritage as it has been for hundreds of years. The point is to consider all who are qualified and not have a soft system of apartheid that disqualifies minorities.

Let's step back for a moment to put mayor Piercy's legacy (or that of any other local figure) in a broader perspective.  Search as we may for someone to praise or blame for what's become of Eugene over the past decade, it's important to acknowledge that this city is a bafflingly complex, collective organism that, particularly  in this undisciplined age, defies unilateral control. While a determined mayor can exercise a modicum of influence, she/he is a relatively small player in a much larger field where myriad social and economic forces intersect in unexpected ways.  So whatever one thinks about her policy orientations, Kitty Piercy, at most, had marginal influence on something far bigger that defies coherent leadership whether elected or not.  That is is not to trivialize her efforts or discourage deliberate efforts to improve things (and heaven knows, Eugene could use a lot of improvement) but rather to warn us not to demand or expect too much from any one person or group.


What does your comment have to do the article above?  It sounds more like 'how many angels can dance on the head of a pin"?

In today's society, would people attending Mass have badges on them stating "I am an Atheist" so that everyone would know that they are atheists?

And since the Eucharist is to be a PARTICIPATED liturgy---WOULD a priest be celebrating [not just mumbling words---which is "saying Mass'] the liturgy if he KNEW that he was in the presence of ten atheists?

Comment on the article, please, and not in trying to trap people in your pharisaical, hypothetical statement games.


There is something broken in your brain, sir.  One internally held down key in a calculator (your brain) compromises all further results.  Carefully reading David James's comment or Kathleen Parker's article and trying to assign intended meaning to a group other than Trump and his followers fits as well as a baby's booty would fit your big foot.  You could fictionalize and make up a group with similar factors paralleling it to Trump and his followers or, fittingly, to Hitler and his followers.  But the left using Trump's tactics against conservatives?  Larry, that's as dizzy a rumor as any.  Feed it to Trump and see if he use's it as one of his threats to us all.  I bet it won't fly.

Besides, where is your conservative pride?  David James wrote:  "What he offers is an attitude, an aura of crude strength and machismo, a boasting disrespect for the niceties of the democratic culture..."


Alberta Conservatives, seem to be a branch of The Republican Party.

Kathleen R. Jones: The argument for marijuana tax revenue happened to be refuted by Noam Chomsky in 'Understanding Power': "...the U.S. tax and transfer system creates a 28.5% reduction in the poverty rate whereas the tax and transfer system in all other industrialized countries decrease poverty rates by between 60 and 80%. The only exceptions being Britain, Australia, and Canada, whose tax and transfer programs still reduce poverty rates by appx. 50%." Chap. 10; footnote 28. Marijuana tax revenue strengthens the plutocracy while affordable housing continues to be denied. The American Eugenics Society was founded in California in the 1920's, funded in large part by Rockefeller and Carnegie. Connect the dots. Planned Parenthood's Margaret Sanger referred to " the weak and the unfit" as an "unnecessary burden on society" = socio-economic definition of eugenics. Nazi's scientists testified they learned eugenics from the Americans.

Let's not punish our retirees...work with a plausable plan.  Perhaps a buy out and have them manage their own portfolio.  Provide education on how to invest so they may even be able to beat the ROI provided by those who manage the ERS.  Daunting task but it can be done.  In addition, we can't forget about those who are incoming civil servants and make investment education a requirement, there are Target Date Funds which are rather balanced and almost self managing and if they opt for some higher risk (further out on retirement) then invest accordingly.s  We also need to reduce the Medicare benefit payback and coverage of others than retiree.  Just my thoughts...


Clapper and Comey both admitted in congressional hearings that there was no evidence tying Trump to the Russians - Comey asked for more resources to keep the 'fishing expedition' alive for his left-wing friends - we saw him lose sight of the statutes at a previous hearing when he started talking about intent when the statute has no quarter for it - how many lesser military people were jailed for the same offence committed by HRC - I would say Comey was fired for cause in this case and all the innuendo about Russian interference blah, blah, blah is just noise to distract from the real crimes committed by Rice and Farakas and the illegal leaks of information by Obama administration appointees - but lets not let the facts get int eh way of a good witch-hunt of man that is despised by left-wing ideologues and progs everywhere


You seem to forget that 'many' of these homeless are living a chosen lifestyle.  Witness the picture of 'Crash Anarchy" in a corresponding article.

You wouldn't get ANY takers.


"...as Catholics, I do think we can and should look at everything differently...."

Happy birthday, Michael.

I believe without a doubt that religions, including Catholicism, can provide a gateway to a more sensitive, aware, holy, and integrated way of being alive. I do doubt, however, whether any one particular religion can be that gateway for everyone. People vary in their temperamental constitution and in the experiences they have lived through and learned from. A religion that serves one person perfectly might be the wrong thing for another; it would not bring sensitivity, awareness, holiness, or integration, or it might bring them in a faltering way. I think it is good for us to be mindful of the truly substantive differences among us in terms of our spiritual needs and proclivities. Some people are Catholics for a valid reason. Some are heathens for a valid reason. Some are Protestants for a valid reason. Some fill their spiritual lives with music for a valid reason. And so on.


i'm sure this a release with absolutely no follow up by any RG staff...they got a million people on staff as reporters (? actual term they use) and another million as editors?  what the beans do they do??????????? they sure ain't writing or editing...


You're right.  Good ones don't have to be supported.  The lefties, guess what?  They are supported.


Very interesting idea. It would work with a regular petrol engine too. It would certainly for a big tractor truck.


that would be equivalent to the US creating 500,000 jobs

this is very hard to believe


"The international community must respond to attacks on gay men in Chechnya"

Such attacks are deplorable, but if we acted every time a columnist told us we "must" something, there'd be no time to enjoy an occasional doob.


George really misses the past.

The GOP's 'historic mission'?  The Federalist Papers?  The enshrinement of 'political parties' first railed against by George Washington?  "Indirect Democracy" in a "One Person-One Vote world?  George is an establishment person who has been left behind by events he wishes he could control.

While BLM had a valid critique of how Police deal with minorities, they won't win friends and influence people with their draconian measures, their cause will suffer because of their short-sightedness.

Pride Toronto will also suffer, they have shown themselves to be weak and indecisive on this issue.


You should have recieved a property tax statement from the MOA that breaks down the various mill rates for services. Girdwood residents and the others you reference do not pay for police and fire. Hope this helps.


A shame that luciferian leftists don't fight for American citizens the way they fight for foreign invaders

Of course if they did they wouldn't be luciferian leftists, they'd be republicans (for the 1/2 wits I'm not talking about rinos)

Eradicate leftists


Plus, the apostles quite obviously believed that Jesus was coming back in their lifetime.  Jesus nor the apostles, including Paul, had any intention of starting a religion.  But human beings what we are, we eventually group & then we organize.  Then we have to have leader, and something we profess to (hence, The Creed -- Council of Nicaea -- 300 AD, I think).  And the RCC was up and running -- governed by men only, of course.  [Female community leaders, who had existed for at least the first century and maybe the first two centuries -- were no more.] And not unlike totalitarian governments, The RCC has been controlling us every since.  I mean, seriously,  who is going to argue with anything and/or anyone who we believe has the power to send us to eternal damnation.  I love it when someone says, "Of course, it's true -- it's in The Bible."  We ask, "How do we know The Bible is true?"  The other person replies, "The Bible says it's the True Book."  Nothing illogical about that, is there?


In this instance, your distinction between"Promulgating" or "rejecting" is of no moment. To do either in contravention to a dogmatic teaching renders one a heretic.  Your qualification of "conscientious" is likewise irrelevant because you omit the additional qualifier of " well formed {conscientious"}". One's conscience is not well formed where it rejects dogmatic teaching.


Yea,  when 40,000 people dies every year due to lack of insurance. You must be a pro lifer.


The good news is Justin Trudeau is following in her foot steps (thanks Mr. Butts) and people will soon see that the snowboarder has no cue to what he is doing.


"Her true feelings came. Maybe she should have said she wouldnt loose any sleep if he wasnt president anymore. Same way I feel about the politician criminals that are here destroying the aina."
Copy and paste is your friend.
I didn't realize it, but you have more friends than I thought.


Getting rid of the indian act and every other bit of duplicated native only government service will help solve problems like this.   For one thing, the federal government has no expertise in education.  This is a provincial responsibility everywhere else and the provinces have the expertise here.  Native communities should fall under the provinces like everyone else, then everything is equal.

Not to mention all the dollars and resources wasted by setting up all the administration and overhead to run all the separate, duplicate programs for 3 percent of the population.  There are no economies of scale.  All that wasted overhead could go back into front line services.


You are 100% wrong.  He had paid for his ticket, he was in his seat.  The airline had no justification to tell him to leave.  The fact that their terms of carriage allow them to, does not in itself provide justification.


At least he's not knocking on my front door.


Remember-we do not know. What we DO know is they shot a felon, rapist, with a weapon and ICE could use more time practicing their aim.


Hello?  This incident took place in the County, not the City.  Sheriff's deputies, not City cops.  Do you understand the distinction?

Next time you're out wandering, head west to Bean Road.  And then think about the fact that there are something like 2 deputies on duty at night  --  and they cover everywhere from Blyn to Joyce.


""Putin publicly blamed me for the outpouring of outrage by his own people," ... It is extremely risky to destabilize a regime that has thousands of nukes. If the ensuing unrest in Russia had gotten out of hand, Putin and his cronies could have decided to take America down with them, and started tossing some. Russia has far fewer checks and balances in their government/military. I remember JFK speaking publicly on television, in great detail, of how our safeguards worked for our nuclear weapons ... so that Russia could have a clue as how to modernize theirs.


My thoughts exactly.  Trump's decision is absolutely covfefe.


I just posted your picture in the church (just like the post office) as one of the most wanted criminals of the church...but in your case for being a reasonable and well thought out christian!  :)


If Donald Trump targets just Mexico and Congress agrees, other countries might think they were next and keep quiet.  Would others stand with Mexico and start a trade war or would they say NAFTA and trade is still OK and not much damage has been done to us so let's not rock the boat?  What could other countries do?  Would they apply tariffs, if none were initially applied to them?  Could you see South Koria, Japan or Germany retaliating because Mexico was being charged a toll?  Let's not use the same old rhetoric here and talking about World trade when we are talking only about the USA versus Mexico.


Well, the more time they do, the more likely they are to reoffend.


Nice to see all the Globe Liberals telling us who the best Conservative leader should be: red Tories (Chong etc) who will be indistinguishable from Trudeau. That will work.


I would like to know how many guns are manufactured or imported to the US every year and also how many are destroyed or otherwise take out of circulation?

It seems quite obvious that as more and more guns exist, more and more of them will end up in the hands of those who shouldn't have them.

Gun laws in the US are far overdue for updating. The original writers of the constitution could not contemplate automatic weapons and other advancements of these killing instruments.

Selling or buying of automatic weapons should be banned and taxes to buy other guns should be increased dramatically to fund the destruction of weapons used in criminal offenses and found in possession of people who are not licensed to own it.

Doing nothing is not a option.


Approval ratings three years out from the election and in the absence of other party leaders and platforms for the 2019 election mean nothing.

Trudeau 1.0 also had high approval ratings after his first year in power - and this was against both the Conservatives and the NDP with capable leaders and partial platforms - but by the time of the next election in 1972 his approval ratings were down so low that he only won by two seats in a minority parliament and only then because Quebecers voted tribally.

So even if The Clown Prince's ratings are still high, it doesn't mean a thing.  (There is no opposition yet and only political wonks like you and me are paying much attention this early on.)


Nope. No background check required to purchase a car or truck.


I'm just hoping both  Serena and Venus are allowed back into the USA, after all they don't look like the your typical Trump supporter.


Replace Conservative with Ignorant Blowhard and it all makes sense.


Ya just can't get enough of us liberals huh Chugiak?  Start your own newspaper.  It's a free country.


" You're certainly free to be smug and pontificate about crime and punishment..."  And you are free to say that I said something that I didn't say, all that does is show everyone your inability to read carefully.  Now that we've established that I DID NOT pontificate about crime and punishment, I can commend you for offering something that may be real facts about how Sheriff Arpaio actually treated inmates.  But what I'm really looking for is someone to offer trustworthy information from an unbiased source.


Mulroney did warn against underestimating Trudeau,  but he didn't support him.   Under the populist political environment,  only then populists would win am the election.  Bredxit, Trump, Wynne, Trudeau were all populists.  No consistent good policies were given during the election.

After Wynne's majority win, I correctly predicted Trudeau's win, and warned in this forum not to criticize Trump in case he would win the US presidency.  I noticed that Democracy is under seizure,  right after Wynne's win.


I thought it was higher but 21% is still high.  This 21% is probably the brighest and strongest. I believe we are among the highest in the nation.  Not a good sign, but no easy answers.


I looked at some US stats, seems 1 in 10 of heroin addicts died of overdose in 2014. This is before fentanyl got mixed. We might be talking about 10-20K of severe addict in BC? It could be quite a line up for  medical heroin.


I am filled with hope for our future.  Thanks to the students of Kelly Middle School who participated in this march.  Your brave actions will continue to reverberate throughout our community and hopefully inspire others to speak up about the deleterious effects of climate change.  Keep it up!


You for example, and other commenters posting here.


State income taxes are deductible on your federal return, so it's a wash tax-wise.  My understanding is we'll be able to use our PFDs to offset state income taxes, although I could be wrong about that.


These numbers don't lie: Ontario pays solar and wind energy producers 38.4 cents per kWh, then turns around and sells it at a loss to home and business owners for between 8.7 to 18 cents per kWh.

This is totally UN-sustainable.


Ward 1:  I'm not sure about the "barbaric past".  I fear the world is as (or possibly more) barbaric today than any time in the past.....and, yes, I find that very distressing.

Guns, whether you or I or anyone else likes or doesn't like it, are part of today's life.  With over 300 million of them in private ownership and that ownership Constitutionally protected. they will not disappear.  I think it's far more sensible and realistic to seek ways to decrease their misuse.  Each year tens of thousands of Americans die from gunshot wounds......accidental, self-inflicted, and intentional.   We need to work together to significantly decrease that number.  We need to work to keep guns out of the hands of those who would misuse them.  Additionally, we need to address the personal and emotional problems (mental illness, including depression and PTSD), substance abuse (a significant number of gun deaths involve alcohol or drug use) which contribute heavily to gun deaths.   regards, Gary


The thing is, the vast majority of lethal car crashes, and drug overdoses, are accidental. Mass casualty shootings are never accidental. Can you understand that? Don't let your "cognitive dissonance" get in the way of the truth, Scooter.


The ignorance level of the media is legendary.   "Rip and read" was the term most often used when AP and UPI passed on their bogosity by teletype.

Now it should be 'cut and waste'.


Your saying the sun has nothing to do with an article about global warming....?  That is your problem Ace...
you seem to have a problem with common sense, critical thinking and I would suspect you have done little to no research on Earth's climate and scientific method....  Here's a suggestion....read and think for yourself....


Cool your jets, punk.


You'd better do a memo to Lord Trump, because he has no plans to do that.


Don't be daft.  The CBC is a public broadcaster.


Not at all. The people who deny climate change are not necessarily denying the change as much as the cause.  The Earth's cllimate will naturally change as does the ever inflating universe.  The deniers simply don't think humans have all that much to do with it. ....The Climate Change people aren't doing anything to solve the problems that will develop from rising temperature.  They're just screaming "it's coming, it's coming."  Humans are not going to change their nature, so shut up and design solutions for the coming problems.  If they're correct about climate change their solutions will be put to good use.


Mmm, angry at the report or at Hillary?


Mr S G   thanks for the link.   This state is insolvent and it seams that the people that know that are trying to grab all they can before the fall.
How are we the small people to make it through it with the inability to save money .
My bank will not let me have a budget that doesn't balance. When I don't have the money for prime rib, I have hamburger when i don't have the money for hamburger I have mac-n-cheese, when i don't have the money for mac-n-chese I have top roman. How is it that the people that are in power don't get that ?

Sorry I unloaded on your post .

Peace to all that get my outrage. V.


Canada is nothing.


Reality TV is far from Reality.. Producers see the final product (Final Drama Plot points) and will spend the cash to get everybody (Actors and non actors) their faster in any so called "reality show".. That is why all Alaska Reality television is such terrible TV.  Kind of like our Government in a way!...  Shame really. Alaska has a lot to offer those that visit.. not so much for those that move here though.. busted bloated budget built from on high in Juneau. :)


Empty suits = empty seats.


We have such great candidate choices to choose from both as president and as our legislature. Ha. 😴


So now he's the blood-alcohol of Cali?


Trump and his people are clueless to the intricacies of this issue or much of hawaii for that matter. Much of his policies analysis seem to be based on the idea that popularity and backing of the his base comes from simply identifying anything obama did and supported and undo it or do the opposite because for 8 years they did nothing but cry, moan and complain about obama.  You see them around, maybe even on here, the real sad ones that have been programmed to constantly talk about obama, democrats and the left.  So my prediction is that trump will just say he's doing the opposite of obama and the lemmings will come following after him.


Lawrence Solomon has been peddling his nutty global warming denier tripe at the National Post for well over a decade now.  In this case, he is basing his column on the crank hypotheses of a retired Russian astrophysicist with no background in Earth, atmospheric, or climate science.


When they see the tax rates here, they will quickly move back.


What does the Great Malumba think? Or The Media Lies to YOU!


I already call it Progressive Radio, because it definitely is biased to the left of me. Many viewpoints there do not represent my Libertarian attitudes, but what else is there? Fox News? No way. MSNBC. No way. Rush Limbaugh? Professional Liar. Rachel Maddow? Professional Liar.

Hey wait a minute! The reply to which I am responding has been deleted. I didn't see anything that didn't meet civility standards.


an assault rifle, is that any different from a rifle that fires bullets, like a hunting rifle with a scope? or is it different from an assault car that becomes a deadly weapon when driven by impaired, distracted, or irate drivers intending harm. or what about an assault knife responsible for so many brutal killing around the world.


And she got more votes than either f them. In fact, she has never lost an election on votes.


Try talking to someone that's gay. Every one of the ones I've talked to said they knew as young as 5 that they were different. You honestly believe it's a choice? Yes, sign me up because I want to be treated like a second class citizen. I love being told I'm an abomination and will rot in hell. I love being beaten up because of who I am. Again, when did you decide to be hetero?


What else is VJ going to say?  He has to express full support to his starting QB right now.  Unless you are an established QB (Brady, Rodgers, Ryan, Carr etc.), your performance is always evaluated.  If the team loses 2 home games to start the season, the pressure will be on (and every positional player that under performs will be apt to be replaced).
As far as Talib's comment, it is what players do.  Support each other.  This past weekend, one of the local TV Channels had highlights of the 4th preseason game.  At the end of the game, Talib is walking off the field with his arms wrapped around Kyle Sloter...and he is shouting at the cameras joyfully shouting how Sloter is so great and "Sloter is in the house at Mile High".  Words to that effect.  So if Sloter had been chosen as the backup, I am sure Talib would have expressed his complete support for Sloter (as he did for Brock).


Kellie and Kevin-- please take note----Trumpism  `a la Canadiana` this  ain`t going to be.


Good . It was the right thing to do .


Motley, are you forgetting the testimony of the witnesses who saved her?


That'll learn 'em, indeed, my stalky little buddy. That'll learn 'em, indeed.


Maybe, but since Donaldson's return, Your Js are scoring runs at 'bout the same pace they were during the 40 games he missed.

And, let's mention that Donaldson was playing during his team's god-awful start to the season, which is still the main reason why they're where they are in the standings.  And though he may not have been 100% during those games, his stats were very good, OPS over 1.000, eg.


A Catholic is NOT by definition someone who follows teachings. A Catholic is someone who believes the apostolic witness: Jesus is Lord, Jesus is risen from the dead, Jesus has appeared to Peter.


Legalizing marijuana for recreation would indeed "be a disaster".

When youngsters who do not use dope are asked why, they invariably answer "because it is against the law."

Once that final barrier is lowered, the lives of many a youth will be utterly destroyed by the powerful lure of dope.

But of course this means nothing to a bunch of spoiled rotten ingrates who took as their curriculum vitae "If it FEELS good, do it." They are as cold blooded, mean spirited and self centered a cohort as ever disgraced this great country of ours.

RP's Rodrigo Duterte has exactly the right approach to ridding society of dope.


So much for the middle class eh?


Dear Sheryl, Zuck and Company;
Show the ads and the dates and locations that they were displayed and let people make up their own minds. There is only one possible reason why you would not, since you cannot violate the privacy of what you have already determined to be a fake entity, and that is... #nothingburger


Your first sentence very succinctly sums up the paradox of Native education both in AK and the lower 48.  The elders mistakenly assume that the younger generations want to live as they did when the vast majority of the time the younger generations want to walk a different path.  One that honors the past but moves firmly towards the future.

Isolationism at this point will do nothing but tear a tribe apart.  My tribe saw nearly 3/4 of our people (literally thosands) die in a small handful of decades from a similar division in the 1800's.  It is my hope that the AK tribes can learn from that experience without having to pay as steep of a price as we did.


Will this ever end?  Bill Walker is not alone.  Our Legislature and Governors Murkowski, Palin, Parnell and now Walker all have promulgated this basic idea of a natural gas export project based on a "partnership" with private industry. These attempts have cost us well upwards of a billion dollars yet not a molecule of gas has been sold nor an inch of pipe laid  They have all failed and this one is about to join the others on that scrap pile of failure.  These failures demonstrate beyond doubt the absolute folly of the beloved "public-private partnership" approach to development of Alaska's resources.   The sovereign (State of Alaska) has a critical yet entirely different role to play and the  state's purpose and interests will never be aligned with those of private industry except for very brief periods of time.  The state needs to get out of the business of being in business for profit because a sovereign is not structured nor purposed to make a profit as is a private enterprise. .


I have to agree with you.

Why would I want to patronize a local small business that doesn't feel the need to invest in his own community by offering jobs to local people.

I might swing at a later time but for now I'll look elsewhere.


Oh sweet jeebus. What next? No US history before Obama?


can't stay on topic can we????


low income or affordable housing is not the same as "rent controlled".  they are not the same at all.  which is the guy wanting to build? what is "affordable housing" at 39th and willamette?  $900 for a studio?  at least the neighbors will be quiet...


"...the outgoing ... and the other candidate...."

Yes, and both parties were not clear about what direction their junta of experts had intended to go to sustain religious freedom, to respect pro-life people and to honor the rights of conscience.


problem is it only involves the CSeries not the entire company


Build a road to this location and many others. This will add not only tourism bit infrastructure and add to the local economy. Local Alaskans would gladly drive there.


We haven't even seen Vatican II fully received yet.  How about we take care of getting THAT finished first?  IMO you are pushing far too early.  And I disagree completely with your statement of "If we wait until the time is right, we will eventually find out that that time will never get here. NEVER!"  Not at all.  There are identifiable times that are right for such initiatives, and those needed conditions are not yet fully in place.  Pope Francis needs more time to change the make-up of the world's bishops (we have eight diocese here in the US alone that are in need of new appointments) if we are to expect any changes that help the Church find its way successfully into the 21st century.  It is incorrect to assume that the Church has any of the ingredients (such as a liturgical reform movement of 50 years) that St. John XXIII found when he took office in 1959.  You can try to "DO it!!" if you wish, while I prefer to let +Francis or a successor and the Holy Spirit decide when.


I had been against recall in the past thinking controversial but the right decisions would then never get made(eg GST was needed to replace manufacturer's sales tax) .  However, I have changed over the years to your point of view.


Kiszla,
You are fishing from the bottom of the barrel to print that non story. That was the dumbest "sports narrative" of the year. Perhaps you should win the "Goodell Liar" award for most contrived, meaningless, blown out of proportion, story about Tom Brady.


The "hands off my "PFD" rhetoric is so tiring. I find it's those who keep up this ridiculous chant are the same ones who then decry other social welfare programs for low income residents. And yes, the PFD is a social welfare program. So - Johnson? He's out.

Landfield? "The closest thing the Alaska Senate race has to Trump."  Reworking and using Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan ("Make Alaska Great Again.")

 Yikes, double yikes and no thanks. I'll not take a narcissistic bully on the national level, nor someone who mimics (idolizes?) his campaign at the state level.

Von Imhof appears to be the only thoughtful, reasonable one in the bunch.


The MLS schedule needs to start respecting breaks for international games,  as top leagues in Europe do,  if the league wants to be taken serious.  It seems unfair when teams are without players because they are selected to national teams. Toronto and a number of other clubs would be in the same position.


Hero!
Thanks, Beth. ('Loved your lede!)


There would have been no duty to correct if Comey had said in May, "Up until now, President Trump has not been under FBI investigation.  If that situation ever changes, then we will not necessarily announce it."  Comey apparently wanted the cloud to remain over President Trump.  More recently, if Comey had removed the cloud via his leaks, then he would have failed in his declared mission to influence the Justice Department to appoint a Special Counsel.


Fascist Leftist?  Appropriating alt-words again from the Breitbart- Bannon lexicon, whaler31?


exactly.


Same bad joke without a shred of supporting fact.
This is the third chance you've had to post a link
or some sort of supporting info and .... just crickets.


It's not a true bright line. Suspensions always disqualify you from a promotion, but before you are suspended you have the right to appeal and have a case by case decision made on whether it was deserved. There may be improvements to be made to the system, but the reason this man wasn't promoted was because he failed to appeal the suspension. That is more on him than the state.


Fake POTUS.


Celibacy is a choice that nobody rationally claims is equal to that which it excludes.


shift,

Thank you for the prompt to clarify my point .... which is that even if the rates had recently been increased in light of current accident rates and costs of repair popular models, the rates generally would remain below those in most Provinces where private insurance rules.


Then the Premier simply orders the gas stations not to collect it, and people being so fed up with you easterners will listen and tell Trudeau to get stuffed.


Why didn't the parents of these "DREAMERS" come to the US illegally in the first  place?? Why was it that most of these "DREAMERS" are now adults and yet during all the time they have been in the US they didn't bother trying to apply for legitimate citizenship? All Obama did with his law was encourage more illegals to come since they know the laws wouldn't be enforced anyway---now their angry??? give me a break


Trump has passed some bills in addition to many executive orders.  However we must keep in mind that only one of them was new policy (S. 1094: "Department of Veterans Affairs Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act of 2017") and none of them would be considered major legislation.


France. Poland. Most other places in Europe.

Not to mention south America - all of it.


"Maybe just one game at a time before we anoint Siemian the next Brady."

I'll just be glad when fans realize that he doesn't need to be Brady. Is Brady the only one with a Super Bowl ring? Joe Flacco is no Brady. Eli Manning is no Brady. Ben Rothlisberger and Russell Wilson aren't going to get confused with Brady. All Siemian has to do is be more  like Troy Aikman. A solid QB who allows the talent around him to do the heavy lifting by being smart. Aikman has 3 rings. That'll work.
The Little Guy


The gig economy is ripe for worker exploitation, since part time "giggers" will never unionize...


1885 lol. You don't think anything more in this decade could've helped. Like possibly better democratic candidates and less of obama? Then you source a column from Canada's most biased, innefficient l, complete drain of taxpayer money joke of a news source. More and more everyday I see the shoring collapse and the walls caving in on the left crowd. It's actually really amusing.


We are worse off dealing with these autocratic,  misogynistic, homophobic, dogmatic religious doctrine 2nd century to 18th century ideological countries.


I'm a little more interested in the quality of the food than in what label management gives its staff.


Yes. They need to leave the negotiation of a plea agreement to the FBI they are the pros of negotiating plea deals.  Flynn's foreign ties and his connection to Russian propaganda and Putin were well known. Why in the world did Trump pick a guy like Flynn? He is an odd guy with a difficult personality-- sadly, he acts like a guy with PTSD. I predicted that Flynn would be the first of Trump's cabinet to leave and lo and behold. Trump seems attracted to those types. Look at Steve Miller-- talk about a weird guy who has all the signs of maladjustment-- a guy who scared people who knew him in school.


Yet another NCR piece in which the authors take up the mantle of MLK Jr in 1963.
"I have a dream!" they say. Is there like an NCR manifesto I can find somewhere that runs along the lines of "Catholic Church 2085 AD: Vision for the Future"?

What is the magic Church they hope to re-found for the future? What place will doctrine have in it? What "Christ of faith" will they invent for this new Church? How will it be different from pretty much every mainline Protestant denomination that is currently withering on the vine?

Just come out and say it: we have no love for the Church as we've received it from past centuries. We have no love for some of its teachings that have been affirmed ad nauseam. We have no love for settled doctrine.

Above all, we have no love for the Jesus of Nazareth we encounter in the Gospels. We want to re-invent Him in our own, more enlightened image.

You'll feel better once you do!


OregonBorn  : " LOCK HER UP."  as in the michael Flym Chant re hilary? is that context for the lock her up, statement?


Poor families that tried to help these kids. By far these Canadians were there to help a bad situation for these kids. I hope they are always appreciated and not forgoton for their good.  For many reserve kids, a lot of progress has not been made, and it's not Mainstream society's fault. There are huge cultural differences    and that part of reconciliation will take a very long time. Most urban Canadians think life is good in their subdivisions and everyone is the same, even if they came from another country.


That's exactly what I thought when I read Stephen's words about the ANC National Conference being declared null and void. You can't have a leadership vacuum, so Zuma just keeps on going, benefiting from the chaos. Hence my belief that he is behind a lot of these factional fights and is probably playing both sides.


I am a proud American to have Donald Trump as our 45th United States President.  This President is for Americans and Americans only.  He is bringing back "common sense" in place of Obama's political correctness a tool for the mental-illness liberals who want to take away our Godly family values for their socialist or another name for it, communisim to this country.
    I don't think its a good idea for President Trump to go into the evil darkness of these late night shows that literally hate him for what he stands for.
     These liberals are for killing the unborn (abortion) and God's covenant of marriage of one man and one woman.  Unfortunately, most Americans approved of what God has instituted for human beings on earth.  This is why we a total collapse of morality in this country.
       I hope President Trump don't step into the hell on earth with these mental-lillness idiots on late night programs.


Teachers should stick to teaching reading, writing and arithmetc and leave the morality to parents.


To the best of my knowledge, the INCONTROVERTIBLE evidence 1LittleBear asserts for bishops and priests has not yet surfaced, but such evidence. IMHO, does exists for women deacons. The crucial question is whether women deacons were in minor orders or major orders (in Roman terms) or whether they received cheirotonia or cheirotessia (in Byzantine terms).

Although you are right, the evidence is that women deacons had different ministries than male deacons, for those that understand Byzantine theology and liturgy, two facts cinch the major order status of women deacon in the 8th century (id est, while the East and West were still one undivided Church): (1) hands were laid on women deacons behind the iconostasis, exactly as with male deacons, priests, and bishops [minor order cheirothessia took place in front of the iconostasis], and (2) the epiclesis prayer said while laying hands on women deacons is structurally and essentially the same as the prayers ordaining male deacons.

Her donations  from all those Arab nations, who are so sensitive to women's issues, were accepted without reservation from Hillary.  Along with some very nice bottles of 'sour grapes', I might imagine.  I guess if she drinks enough of those, it might take the edge off the fact she just accepted donations  from men who won't even let a woman drive  a car, let alone run for President.


I might be wrong, but "hate crime" status only applies to protected minority groups. I don't think child rapist is a protected group...yet.


Maybe they disagree because your post is full of your own "must be" thoughts while short of any rational analysis. Vancouver prices went up 3.6% last year so the foreigner tax accomplished nothing, is that right? Well, first off, our government received income from the taxes which they can use, or squander, what have you, but the money is real. Secondly, before the tax prices were rising by 10-20% annually. Last year, 3.6% Are you sure the tax "ACCOMPLISHES NOTHING"? Some proper analysis beyond your gut feelings might be in order. FYI, shouting your point doesn't make it any more valid.


Just remember this during the unending ethics probes of Democrats over the years.  Do unto others my backside.  I know what the GOP is made of.  The GOP lies and cheats and gets away with it because they side with bullies.  One day it ends, good or bad.  We all know what happens when you repent and don't mean it.


Who supplied the "dirty" local weed?
Testing bogus 'local weed' will produce bogus results.


Singapore is an over-regulated monarchy, put on the map by Lee Kuan Yew and the West to stop the spread of Communism, and to advance the spread of Chinese predatory commercialism.


Well, technically, the Saud family was founded in 1744 and only finally murdered their way to power (with British assistance) in 1932.


Successes?   We Republicans outside the beltway haven't seen any of that yet....


Junior is going to fail. The retrenchment of country economies has begun. Handing out another 650 million to non-canadians will go a long way to sealing his fate. The taxes and fees paid by ordinary Canadians is unsustainable just as it was in the USA. Trump didn't get hired because he was the best. He was hired to wreck the system that has bankrupted the western world leaving nothing but debt in its wake. Not the Left libeals are trying to shame populism so that the globalization of the western economy is saved. It will fail. People are pissed off looking at the government fees, property taxes, bank fees, income taxes, etc. etc. etc. Watch closely what happens in the election in France this spring. It will surely tell you where the EU will be headed. With brexit, or lagging along dragging countries along that have no positive inputs for staying together. If the EU fall, then the movement that started in GB , moved to USA, will continue through the globe. Trudeau will own this fail.


Here's hoping this sellout Republicrat gets primary-ed out of her seat.


We should know by now that the White House crew has a real problem with comprehension. Starts at the very top and it isn't a "trickle down effect" it's more like a vigorous shower. Hence ..... they are all wet!


such negativity for such joyous music. wow.


Actually, I would love to see the military offer up blue collar training in the last 3-6 months of a tour esp. when the MOS is something like Gunnery.
I think that 6 months of teaching construction by rebuilding new barracks on-base would be useful. Heck, we might even teach this over seas esp at any ephemeral bases.
Or how about adding some chef schooling even at oversea bases. Heck, they could have an average mess hall, and then each day / week, they have 1/6 of the ppl eat at a special mess where decent cooking is done.
And yes, that means a better kitchen, better ingredients, etc. And yes, a bit more money, but I think it would be worth it for the troops and for those that want to learn how to be a chef. Once stateside, in the last 3 months, they work on better dishes.


searched online for north pole temperatures and found

https://www.yr.no/place/North_Pole/Other/North_Pole/

Appears to be -12C to -23C over this weekend, so quite a change from the +6C yesterday ?

Might have been a fluke or a dodgy website, so went to the canadian government one

https://weather.gc.ca/city/pages/nu-10_metric_e.html which seem to be similar.

No idea how cold it should be, but some of the russian cities in the deep frozen wastes seem to get much colder with -50C being common, suspect the water underneath the arctic shields it a tad ?


a definite possibility - if the guys in the car were loaded or especially stupid to do such things on W 11, chasing a black guy might have seemed a good idea.  I know that driving and walking ...living while black can be offenses for some people.  I jay walked with my black step brother across a street in Inglewood many years ago, more of a mixed race neighborhood - we got stopped by a cop who actually pulled over to the curb and  upshot was my step brother got a ticket!  I got a lecture about being a "follower".  blew my mind  - right then I learned ...yeah....different rules for different people.


Too true!


This Bozo aside we better climb out of our dream world and quickly realize that we would be in real trouble if the Americans began to take economic action against us, which may well happen in Junior continues down the route he has been going the last year. To start with I am sure we will have to spend money, and proper money on Defense and curb our immigration policies for a start.


There are more than a million Canadians working in the US already.


Your proposition that"The dossier may have been leaked not to weaken Trump, but to immunize him against Russian pressure and blackmail," is illogical. The dossier contains information that, if true, would greatly handicap Trump's presidency and may lead to his impeachment. Coordination with the Russians to undermine Hillary Clinton's candidacy would be deemed a treasonous act that is specifically cited in the U.S. Constitution as grounds for impeachment. Salacious acts that are described would very much be an emperor has not clothes situation. In any case, in fairness to Trump, we should realize that the dossier may be disinformation. Its appeal and possible truth derives from the low regard that many if not most Americans have of Trump's character.


You'd think that by now, you'd have heard that he is investigating whether the Trump team colluded with the Russians to influence the American election.
Can you grasp that?


"meaning, for example, that people with dementia could, while they are still competent, decide they want an assisted death at a later time."

This I have a problem with. Dementia,  currently, is unstoppable but in the future it may not only be stopped but a person may then be able to build new memories. You can never get the original person back but there may still be enough of the familiar left over to compensate.

That being said, a diagnosis of any form of dementia could be mind numbing enough that a person does not wish to wait and would prefer to end their life early and at their convenience. Waiting to do it when they become incompetent just seems the wrong way to go.

I hate to say it but the timing of one's demise should always be done whilst one is competent enough to throw the switch themselves.


"the great supply argument is a myth, a dodge," and this is Comrade Mason coming to you from the central planning politburo. Won't hear any supply management talk in this column for the advertising, media or newspaper businesses.

Fact: 100,000 units of housing today stuck in local planning in B.C.


Were you attacked while alone or with your dog?


The cocaine addled woman beater? Good one.


Blondie: completely agree! Matthews showed his real stuff, I was simply amazed that he understands so much, so early. Despite some of the comments on here, he wants to play in the post season, if he gets more support like that, there is a very good chance he'll get them there.


Another "I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today" The problem with that scenario is Tuesday never comes. Once the democrat have their amnesty they have no reason to compromise.


So three overvalued stocks are a good hedge against the downturn? That makes no sense.  If you really believe there will be a downturn, buy gold, or hold more cash.  Strange.


Hard to defang the "fringe" when that is the president, lol. Or is that normal? Someone who gives comfort to the enemy, supports white supremacists and Nazis, how do you do that? Oh, impeach. Oh wait, then we'd get another zealot, and his mommy.


I fear you are indulging in sola scriptura, an unfortunate heresy.  The bible may say all kinds of things, but we are taught by the One True Church  to call many men on Earth "father," all priests, and of course the popes a/k/a Our Holy Father.  So, you see, tradition replaces scripture.  That's how it works.  Many things in the bible have been tossed because Holy Mother church no  longer teaches those things.  It's all tied up with the infallibility of the Magisterium, tradition, and so forth.


Explain to the nice people, Kathleen, how this media release is a calculated attack on the Irish community because you are trying to block our local fire chief from preventing illegal, highly toxic burning in the area that could cause strokes, miscarriages and cancer. Tell everyone about your antisemitism agenda while you are at it.


Housing for our work force!


Ya, if only Mueller and Sessions would do the job and investigate the damn leakers, Trump could pursue his agenda of colluding with Russia and obstructing justice without all these encumbrances.  It's an outrage! No President in history has been treated so unfairly! Everyone knows that squealling about the crime (i.e. leaking) is worse than the crime itself.


Exactly!  After all the lies I was told after my abuse by several bishops, priest and lay staff in diocesan offices, why should I believe anything else they tell me?  And then all the other lies upon lies surrounding abuse for centuries, how can anyone believe the hierarchy about anything?  I couldn't and, like thousands if not millions of others, I walked and didn't look back.


There are actually some people who voted "disagree" to a statement of the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights???


A majority of Americans never voted for Obama. Your point is???

Keep telling the lie about Trumps support declining. There are a few idiots in liberal la-la land that still believe it. Very few.


They act just like our human homeless. And the government treats them like that too.


Jake just explain why it was acceptable for the Republic majorities in Congress to alter ethics rules and make more collusion allowable.  It now almost accepted for lobbyist to publish what they are paying to buy what they want while the recipient stands and get applause in either chamber for taking the bribe. You can not put this on the Democrats.


For clergy maybe...


Mike:

While I agree with your comment on the quality of hockey, there's no call to be snarky about the beautiful game. One can love both at the same time, if for different reasons.

Basketball, on the other hand....


Anyone recall Enstar clamoring, some years back, they just couldn't "make it" unless the RCA allowed them to base pricing on the Henry Hub Natural Gas Spot Price?  That didn't last long, did it?


Thanks, Caroline ... but looks like that last one might be changing soon here.

Thanks for reading!


Actually the debt is $160B when contractual obligations are added in. Those contractual obligations cost the taxpayer $billions annually as BC Hydro must dump  taxpayer built capacity over its' dams to meet the terms of the Fascist Party's Howe Street cronies  in the IPP business.


Let these people shoot each other. They're doing us a favor. By the way, I used to work in that building when it was a brewery.


Terribly. Bragging about winning against Oregon State tells me that you are trying to convince even yourself that CSU could win.


Without a fair treatment of his subject, his argument's validity is suspect, making his intentions clear and his column irrelevant. Yet it gets printed and reprinted, and swallowed whole by a segment of readers.


Liberals are a curse on Canadian society.

They are corrupt, arrogant, intransigent, and unbelievably stupid,-- like termites, devouring and destroying the fabric first of Ontario and now all of Canada, and the very structures holding our society together.

And just like termites, they infested an antiquated English colonial system of government, with no protections or firewalls against these repulsive, ugly, sneak-thieves.

Truly Kathleen Wynne is the face of Liberalism in Ontario, with a convergence between the way she/it looks, and the crooked way she/it acts. The same applies to the acne-scarred bipolar leading Canada into the abyss with his grandiose, delusional failures.

There is no better way to kill industry, let alone the public, than with obscene hydro rates. Similarly, in a climate critically dependent on hydrocarbons for heat and transportation, to impose so-called carbon taxes is criminal.

The Liberals must go.

Quickly.

Never to return.


WOW that is some dastardly stuff right there. If you want a Frexit, keep it up dummies.
What a stupid law, how can representing reality be a crime? Something has gone seriously wrong in this world if one cannot post reality no matter how lovely or violent it may be.
France, qu'est ce pas?


Of course the same can be said of every other established nation up until the very recent "free movement" experiment, for which the EU unwisely volunteered.

"The <insert any country> has a sordid history of racist, exclusionary laws meant to keep out non <insert dominant race/culture>."


Ya, who wants to breathe? Or drink water? All those droughts and floods are great for the economy!


Shoaltsie,

You're late with this news! The other Toronto newspapers have already reported the Leafs blowout loss to the Blues!

"England has fallen to the jackboot. Couldn't help itself and now can't be helped."

--- So it's the nasty right wing that's turned the UK into a surveillance state, and is currently arresting people for what they say on Twitter?


Zero sympathy for this clown that calls people that didn't vote for His candidate "nazis"
He's a sad figure that needs to apologize to everyone for being so offensive.
Now doing the sue them routine.    Bet he's such a fun person to talk with, except you won't get to have any opinions unless they're his and he will sue you ....
Close his restaurant by not going there.  Vote out those that preach hate


Yeah ... right...If our common friend Bill only started thinking about something in this direction loudly and in public, those public service unions would right away teach him a very quick, yet unforgettable lesson of "fairness", so we would ran away screaming...

So, he had to find a target with weaker defense system, so he can be fair with it.

I hate unions, but in times like this I wish we had something alike for independent professionals.


It does not surprise me you missed the analogy.


Obviously the logic of this piece is somewhat wanting. But I actually agree with the conclusion -- the military charges against Bergdahl should be dismissed. Instead, he should be charged with treason in a civilian court, and when convicted he should be sentenced to death.


With respect, your concern may be misplaced.

The language is: "The rule regulates the use of arbitration agreements in contracts for specific consumer financial products and services. It prohibits the use of a predispute arbitration agreement to prevent a consumer from filing or participating in certain class action suits. The rule also requires consumer financial product and service providers to furnish the CFPB with particular information regarding arbitrations."

In other words, it looks like corporations can no longer force a consumer to sign a predispute arbitration agreement that eliminates the consumer's right to sue them.


My father was in the occupation force in Japan after the war.  I remember him telling me back in the 1970s, that because of Japan's economic success, post war, some people said that THEY had actually "won" the war.  No, he told me plainly, they did not.  He saw the utter destruction and human suffering in Japan, including the cities that were hit by atomic bombs.  America also suffered greatly with the loss of over 400,000 men.  Think about the potential that was lost along with all of those souls.   To overlook all the pain, suffering, and destruction of the world war and to say it "did our nation a lot of good" from an economic perspective, seems like quite a stretch to me.  Regarding war with Germany vs. "Japan only," both nations were part of the tripartite pact and as such, war against one inevitably meant war with all three (Japan, Germany, Italy).


This is totally Hill-larious.  Pitts is almost as much a liar as Clinton.  For many years all Liberal progressives have done is try to re-write history in school and college textbooks.  Now, Pitts gets upset because one state takes a stand and tells the real in-varnished truth! What a laugh!  What comedy show is he on.  A political propaganda show pretending to be comedy!  The left has lots of those shows!


This all started because Nenshi wanted a legacy and a springboard for his Liberal candidacy.....drop the idea we don't need more debt


No.
You brought race into this discussion, not I.
Many in Latin America are white (and regard themselves as white), by the way.  I was talking about culture and economics, not race.
Look in the mirror and you'll see the person preoccupied by race.


Richard:  So reducing the Anchorage/Alaska non-white population would decrease crime? Please elaborate on which residents are white enough to stay, and if/how the whiteness standard will be applied at the border to determine entry eligibility (i.e., are we still suspicious of the Irish, or have we determined they're white enough?). Be sure to specify if Jews count as white, or if a parallel Christianity test will exclude the other riffraff. Will we apply the same standard to tourists?

If you really looked at the names and faces of who is committing most of the crime in Anchorage, you'd have noticed that nearly all violent crimes are committed by men. It's so obvious - this gender diversity is killing Anchorage. Let's get rid of the men, and then watch drug use and crime rates plummet.


How is that a big story when “Uranium One” news broke yesterday and it is being totally ignored by the MSM……….   Very interesting…  G&M and CNN, MSNBC, Star, everyone ignoring this huge story that’s why they are making a big deal about Corker & Flake cause that really isn’t that interesting but “Uranium One” is.  And it’s got Canadian content to it !


hey loser madow what not picked to be in cabinet, are you really this stupid or what!


"As far as the verbal attacks go" in my opinion deriding the First Lady because she wore high heel shoes on the plane doesn't fall under fair game. Neither does going after his son Barron.

As for this--surprised we can write this wording- "bunch of crooked a**holes" but that stood when posted by you.


The real problem is that you can't legislate envy and greed. The emotional attachment a family has to their house as home, is what creates the good will value of the estate being maintained as a house in a community of households. However, the misrepresentation that a condo unit has the same equitable value, on par, as a home is so widespread that people, first time buyers for instance, don't realize they don't have the same proportional "real estate" value at all.
Living in a hive of units require's more social stability than does living in freehold property's like houses, they may both be housing units but they are worlds apart in social and economic value. This was all reflected in mill rate assessment now long gone.
Bring back BENO designations on "Land Titles" and you will soon have a wealth of data points on the influences which drive commercialization of primary dwelling units. You can collect proper taxes from private rentals by setting the standards to reflect commercial ones.


Oh please! We're all supposed to believe Brad Keithley, a consultant and former oil industry lawyer, and Senator Dunleavy an industry bought politician?

I'll take Dermot Cole's analysis of the situation over these two any day.


Yes, Francie, by all means vote for DT.

But if you are in any way a physically attractive women do not, ever, go into a room alone with him. With DT it isn't just the sex talk. He's a man of action.

OTOH, if you are (in Trump's words) a disgusting pig with blood coming out of your wherever, it shouldn't be a problem.

P.S. Please don't think I'm being uncivil. I am simply quoting your candidate.


Sure they can. Think: inability. "In Case of the Removal of the President from Office, or of his Death, Resignation, or Inability to discharge the Powers and Duties of the said Office, the Same shall devolve on the Vice President, and the Congress may by Law provide for the Case of Removal, Death, Resignation or Inability..." (Article II, Section 1, Clause 6 of the United States Constitution)


How do you know that? The link you gave is only one person's opinion.


Leadership?! Trump is certainly doing something, but what he is doing is NOT leadership.


Much easy to spend billions on new weapons and send troops to Europe then to build good relationship with Russia.How dare general Flinn to connect Islam and terror.


Why should the government agree to extend today's contracts into the future when the electricity being supplied is surplus?  At the end of the the 20 year contract for surplus electricty, the supplier should be happy to accept any price that is above zero for surplus electricity.  We should electricty prices to collapse at the end of those contracts.


MSW - here is what you posted yesterday:
"At Commonweal, John Gehring is upset that the Al Smith dinner is going ahead as planned, with Donald Trump in attendance. I sympathize but, in the final analysis, I do not want bishops deciding to favor one candidate over another because that usurps the role of the laity. For all his flaws, and they are many, we cannot ignore that Clinton defends a legal regime that has resulted in millions of abortions. If New York is going to host the Al Snith dinner, they should invariably invite both candidates. Exceptions? No Holocaust deniers. So, Gehring gets my sympathy but not my agreement"
Today - "That discussion will only intensify given Trump's performance. As a general rule, however, if we are going to invite the nominees of the major parties, we are going to invite them. Short of Holocaust denial, I can't really think there is anything that would warrant rescinding that invitation."
We disagree - Dolan and MSW failed - surprised, really?


Only a chump would think that Orange and the Russians did NOT discuss how the Russians could help the orange campaign.

Orange, not having an ethical bone in his body, would see nothing wrong with it.


I would also restrict citizenship to only those who immigrated legally regardless of age. Out of respect for those that did follow the process, permanent green cards for those children but not citizenship.


Western woods, it may be an accurate statement on criminal law, but it is not true for other kinds of law: employment, education and human rights law come to mind.

Ross  was primarily a case about the "poisoned educational environment" created by his off-duty anti-semitic writings and other activities - as the excerpt I quoted above indicates.  Which means a high degree of relevance to this California school case.

Here's another relevant excerpt from Ross v. New Brunswick School District No. 15, [SCC, 1996]:

"The school is an arena for the exchange of ideas and must, therefore, be premised upon principles of tolerance and impartiality so that all persons within the school environment feel equally free to participate.  As the Board of Inquiry stated, a school board has a duty to maintain a positive school environment for all persons served by it."


Winners never get tired and losers don't know what it means. Right Squigly?


the left hate of business, wealth along with the ignorance in economics never ends with liberal shills like you! you are clearly out of touch that the city of tornoto decades ago moved the tax base down for residences and increased the burden on business. they pay enough already!


Stone age beliefs?  Hate speech against Catholicism isn't uncivil, apparently.

How can loving parents, even Catholic parents, support their gay child (who may be going through some very difficult times) if they don't know what it happening with their own kid?

You assumption of Catholic parents as incapable of supporting a gay child is absurd.


Don't you mean, "oh, the hyperbole."


Probably as many times as you attempt to dishonestly inflate the number in an attempt to create a false impression regarding the scope of the issue.


I agree with  Iwandcah.  Toooooo much hype.  Just like "severe" weather introducing the weather news.


For 13 years, we at SWAN Vancouver Society have been supporting migrant and immigrant women who do sex work in Metro Vancouver.

I thought we had a merit based immigration system. If we do how did the fifteen hundred sex workers  SWAN has been helping get into Canada?


It looks like Tepco doesn't like the $110/lb they contracted for. Increased regulatory issues isn't a force majeure in a lot of books. The tsunami was but restarts have happened.  I think they'll look to settle this at lower rates- we'll see if Cameco will play ball. "In practice, most force majeure clauses do not excuse a party's non-performance entirely, but only suspend it for the duration of the force majeure" - Wikipedia.


What term would you prefer to use for people who automatically assume that all Muslim's are potential terrorists, that all want to impose Sharia law, that Muslim's should be banned from Christian countries ... these are real things, as a short trip through comments on this article will show. It seems a name for this belief system would be useful. Is 'homophobia' a term that is acceptable to you?


How much longer is the G&M gong to perpetuate this lie?  Despite how much you may disagree with Trumps policies, you can not be an asylum seeker if you've arrived from the USA.


Why is it that the left always looks to govt for a solution and yet, the govt was the one that created the rent control problem in the first place?   Well intentioned, but as most already knew, if one just read the implementing legislation that got politicians elected they would have readily been aware of the "however" clause(s).  It's an election year.  Maybe the candidates who supported this initiative might have answers as to why their program was SO unviable that it needed a subsidy to begin with...and then ask them if they knew about this loophole even after it was passed.  Nope.  Looks like they used the short term hoopla of "an affordable housing" solution to get elected, then when the inevitable bump in the road came, the issue became "complicated".


My hope is that our new good American AG, Jeff Sessions will go after Denver for many illegal activities.  Marijuana, homeless, illegals, and put them where they belong, behind bars and done away with altogether.


Did you know Buck ?...Did you know Canada has a «SuperHero » such as comic book…SuperMan ?...SpiderMan ?...called « Dan Cooper » ?
A French Canadian Major in the Royal Canadian Air Force, who since 1955 has been dealing with any spies, air pirates, or aliens who think they can intrude on the skies of Canada. Known to millions of European readers, as well as in Asia and the Middle East...but Dan Cooper remains virtually UNKNOWN in Anglo Canada.
(see Google for pictures of Dan Cooper)
In Europe’s Francophone, Dan Cooper (also known as « Les Aventures de Dan Cooper ») is a Franco-Belgian comics series about a fictional French Canadian military flying ace and rocketship pilot.
The French Canadian Hero Dan Cooper is the archetype of heroic, courageous and fair fighter pilot, who lives aerial adventures at the controls of the aircraft the most various: fighter (Lockheed F-104 Starfighter), futuristic prototypes, imaginary or real spaceships, such as Mercury, Geminiou Apollo capsules.


All of the comments thus far miss the point. Here it is folks. The point is that football is a business. Owners are the employers. Players are the employees. Fans are the customers. Employers have the right to require their employees, while at work, to conduct themselves in a manner that does not alienate their customers, whether or not that is the employees' intention. It's that simple.

This is not a first amendment issue because the government is not mandating the players can or cannot kneel. President Trump spoke out forcefully, but he did not issue an executive order. At least not yet.


Hey, I have an idea. Upload responsibility for both the Gardiner and DVP back to the province. Nickel-and-dimed citizens can't afford to pay tolls.


Rand Paul is one big reason we Republicans who voted Trump and who voted the GOP majority are not seeing our agenda passed. Rand Paul is the reason things are failing, he and the FC need to GO AWAY. Our party has been hijacked by the extremists of the party. Rand Paul is BLOCKING Trump's plans and we are getting REALLY TICKED about it. He must go away .


Exactly what I thought Wavemaker, you can't cite the grounds on which the application was denied because there were no grounds. The decision was arbitrary and political and therefore will be easily undone.


The bishops just don't get it. They need to clean up their act. Until the hierarchy seeks reconciliation with the junior clergy and laity, people - particularly young people -- will continue to regard them as nothing more than talk.


More food for thought on this fortunate incident today. If in the future these individuals happen to live through it, and they somehow get a lawyer or attorney (there is a difference) let them be housed with them and  their families, see how they can justify and defend them then. But there's no money in that. I like the common statement from our incompetent leaders that drugs are victimless crimes. Just because WE haven't been personally physically harmed , our property is being stolen and more how is this justified?


Drain the swamp...............deport the PFD trash.  Keep crime breakers in prison.


I guess you may be right. I read it in ADN that he was the only Senator with a high school degree and no post high school education. Since ADN reported it, we can't trust it can we?

So Begich got his "training period"  after what preparatory training, OJT?


Some business's need volunteers I suspect?  to stay in business with the high rents,  high taxes, high wages they cannot afford to pay. We are not all like the CBC getting $1.8 billion dollars a year to write editorials and spin the news.


"Self-employed parents can voluntarily opt-in to the employment insurance system in order to qualify for parental benefits, but the study notes take up is low."

So there IS a system in place but people aren't choosing to enroll... likely (both common sense as well as several articles that have been put out on this) because they don't want to pay into the system.  Now the government wants to "fix" the "problem"?  Simple solution: mandate that self-employed people pay into EI.  It is the epitome of unfair for people to get a free ride ESPECIALLY when they literally put themselves into the situation.

But since this predominately plays with female voters, expect Lil' Trudy to put billions into it and shaft the masses to cover some of the cost.


that is something that I do not get.
She does not deserve to be groped. There is NOTHING that she does that makes this right.
And yet, some of the ppl here continue to denigrate her and blame her. Yet, in that pix, you can see that the guy has his arm down towards her bottom and not on her waist or back. Likewise, you can see her skirt clearly lifted on her left side, compared to her right side.
It is disgusting that ANYBODY is knocking her for this.


Actually SkeptiCat, rates were increased in 2016 by 2.5%. They also plan on increasing rates an additional 10% over the next 5 years and I would venture a guess that that number goes up much higher than that. EWEB plays with residents money to make property purchases and engages in horrible secret deals with pollution generating sawmills all at the expense of rate payers. If we use energy efficient light bulbs, appliances, etc. they make less revenue so what do they do? They raise rates, again and again and again.


My God!  I knew whack jobs existed, but I had not personally encountered one in a long time.  Let's take you piece by piece, shall we? You say: "You hate the Sioux Indians, extolling the judgement in law against them."  Hate the Sioux?  I feel bad for them because what MAY have been a decent environment case was so poorly presented on their behalf. Indeed, they presented no environmental case at all.  I saw merit in a well-written judicial opinion by an Obama appointee.
"You side with the oil companies totally ignoring their malevolent influence on American politics." Wrong. See above.
"You hate homosexuals, repeatedly quoting obscure scripture texts from thousands of years ago, even justifying them being stoned to death in one of your posts and agreeing with gay people being sacked." You lie. True, I quote Scripture texts about the immorality of homosexual acts. I have never said gays should be stoned. To the contrary, I approve the Church's stance -- respect.

YOU hate.
