It all depends on how many drinks or drugs they had before. Some may even jump from towers thinking they are Superman.


Shipboard - The oil industry is in fact necessary to our national economy. And this is not as you suggest about the greed of a small handful of people. The oil industry impacts on almost every Canadian. I realize that the same can be said about the environment. And of course, Pipelines are the most environmentally safe means for transporting oil over any large distance. However, if you refuse to accept the premise that the oil industry is an imperative and significant aspect of or economy, then you are too naïve to even participate in the discussion.


At a Republican retreat, at the Library of Congress, right before Obama's 2009 inauguration, Mitch McConnell said:

"There are enough of us to block the Democratic agenda-as long as they all marched in lockstep." "As long as Republicans refused to follow President Obama's lead, Americans would see partisan food fights and conclude that Obama had failed to produce change."

January 20, 2009 Republican leaders in congress literally plotted to sabotage and undermine the U.S. economy during President Obama's inauguration. 12 republican senators, Frank Luntz and Newt Gingrich plotted to destroy America's Economy.

Since 2007, "the GOPs willingness to say not to everything, they have filibustered 500 pieces of legislation that would have helped the middle class.

Examples:
Student Loan Affordability Act
Bring Jobs Home Act
Small Business Jobs and Tax Relief Act
Paying a Fair Share Act of 2012
Repeal Big Oil Tax Subsidies Act
Paycheck Fairness Act


I don't understand Grantham's point. The lawmakers will have been called to Denver, the session will already have started, the money to have the session will already have been spent ... so why not finish the job then instead of saying we're going to adjourn the special session and wait until January? Seems like that would be more wasteful!


"...and having contentious issues raised by constituents in her recent Arizona district where she has been superintendent for less than three years, "

That's our formula for continuing accountability via chaos.  Keeps hiring the rejects of other States.   You DO remember the warning flags raised/ignored with the early HART head, right?


Donald Trump's tweets continue to show what a clueless, childish, and completely unqualified individual he is. In no way whatsoever should Trump be allowed to make any decisions regarding the well being of any of the citizens of our country. Any support of his policies will continue to be undermined by his lack of knowledge, intelligence, and common sense, and cannot be taken seriously as a way to improve our country. We're being led by a person with the mental capacity of a ten-year-old child and the vast majority of our country is well aware of this fact.


How about a $50 million gazebo - courtesy of the Federal Conservatives?  I think I'd rather have a rubber duck - it's a heck of a lot cheaper and a lot cuter!


"Not that you know about the particulars of a region a half a world away. "

Well, you seem not to know about the particulars of Canada, or the right of its citizens.

You wouldn't be able to do to aboriginal Canadians, what Israelis do to Palestinians. Neither Canadian law, nor the First Nations themselves, would permit such treatment.


Expectations met.


Excellent  exposure ,however  they never end with a conviction


Judging by the scars on her face she's had a rough life. That doesn't excuse her from first degree murder, though. Hope she's caught.

1000 bags! a major drug bust! Someone had WAY too much time on their hands. Of course there was the great concern about alligator clips sold at Radio Shack (remember them?) being used as roach clips, so this is consistent.


SWAT across this nation are under trained thugs who think they are elite military. Any fool knows you never point a gun at a target until they are a threat and your finger never goes near the trigger until you are ready to fire. They had no right to detain the couple whatsoever. A lot and i mean a LOT of cops are going to find themselves burning in hell for being thugs and thieves who hide behind a badge to bully assault and steal with impunity. I have long since lost all respect for the police because even if you are "one of the good ones" you sit idle while the rest run roughshod over this country and steal from people daily.


that's outsider talking......you're absolutely right.


Confusing SJSJ5 with documented facts could have dire consequences e.g. he could mull them over, take a day or two to absorb, then take the rest of six weeks — like Trump — to announce "it's all a conspiracy" i.e. back to square one. ;)


Exactly! VOTE NO ON PROP B1! We need the jobs and all the economic gain that we can get in the Mat Su.


Jack,
You have more faith in 'human' perfection than I do. What does the Bible say about the condition of the human heart, Jack?  If my close friend had been fired by the guy I was now investigating, I think I'd have to  recuse myself out of 'appearance' of impropriety, if nothing else.


When you see all the notices of lost dogs and cats, remember it is the coyotes and wolves are eating fine.


From some of the comments, looks like a fair number of the left-inclined have been joining the tinfoil hat club lately.  Same advice as to the right inclined...you may want to loosen up the foil a quarter turn.


I suppose what you’re doing here IS easier than trying to rebut points that people actually make about:
- A de-diversifying BC economy focused to a record degree on real estate/construction (>25% of GDP and growing).
- A growing net loss of young people (and essential skills) from BC’s most expensive areas (and the service fee/ tax increases that will follow to actually retain people like doctors in the future).
- Record household debt at a time of record low rates (and when rate increases might happen [or the CAD will plunge relative to the USD and purchasing power takes a larger hit]).
- Growing evidence of systemic gaming by foreign $ that is being sheltered in BC real estate (condoned by governments to maintain the status quo of inflated real estate values).

Despite self-interest from government and the majority of people, in the last year I’ve seen movements that acknowledge the truth in a lot of these points. Guess we’ll see what 2017 holds.


Like the  teacher that allowed a Trump piñata right here in Colo. That's ok according if you're liberal.


How is seeing the truth stereotyping?  Also, why the derogative "little man"?


That's what they were trying to do. Read the report on Facebook.

The cops were several blocks behind the SUV, not racing along with it at high speed. When they got thru downtown, they found the trashed guardrail which led them to the vehicle, where they found the driver in danger of drowning as he was trapped half in the vehicle. Thankfully it was low tide or they would have all drowned given several people could not get out of the car on their own. They cut the drowning driver free to save his life, and then helped others until Fire Rescue and others arrived.

Sounds like some excellent police work to me.


For those that decry the above post check out the  CBC story from today about organized crime already embedding itself in the medical marijuana market.

PNW Mike, Your wild speculatory assertions about my employment status reveals defects in your thought process.

I raised the Cruikshank case only to show that there is solid legal grounds for the idea that the Constitution does not grant the right to bear arms.  Heller reverses the Supreme Court's interpretation of the Second Amendment, showing that Heller can also be reversed.


Gee Mr. Ballgame, I look back on the dazzling bright lights that were the Harper cabinet and it is like a Trump ego sized diamond has blinded me.

That was sarcasm btw, and your curiously specific issue with one member of the federal cabinet in Canada has nothing to do with the point I was making.


Dear AG Chin,Thank you for standing up for the constitution and the people who live on these beautiful island and elsewhere. You are fighting the good fight and as MS Winternitz said , it makes me proud to be a citizen of Hawaii.


As a kanaka in the world of birth (I gave birth to my children under "dangerous", "high-risk" cultural circumstances, and assist in other wahine to  birth in a cultural manner), I appreciate Ms. Compehos' mana'o greatly. Her central point is extremely important: how is it that sailing a dangerous ocean or surfing dangerous waves is understood as vital and important to continuation of culture, but revitalizing our ancient birthing traditions is judged as irresponsible?  Is this not the classic colonial problem wherein the body of the wahine is deemed the purview of others than herself, precisely because that body has the power to give life?  I stand firmly for body sovereignty, reproductive choice (including birth choices) and the re-invigoration of our oldest cultural practice. Mahalo Tara!


I suspect that the "wage gap" is primarily a creation of comparing non-identical work.  To determine whether there is a real wage gap, double blind studies where researchers see job descriptions, separate them into equal work categories without knowing the gender of the employee and then only after gender free identification of job categories, employee tenure, and employee experience has been completed, reveal the gender of the employees.  Double blind studies are often utilized in order to eliminate bias in those who perform the study.  It creeps in in many ways.


Flake and Corker aren't leaders, they are quitters. Not many are in a better position to oppose Trump so if they disagree with him they should fight to stay in office and lead the change.

These guys are more likely sore losers who were going to lose anyway but made themselves more well known and scored some cheap points. They will attempt a come back in some fashion.


Gerald, the ACLU is an organization devoted to protecting everyone's rights under the Constitution of the United States.  Why wouldn't the Alaska DOC join forces?  Is the Alaska DOC against the laws and protections under the US Constitution or the Bill of Rights?


Leave it to Bautista to "choke" in the 9th inning--this coming from the same guy who prior to last season was demanding a 5 year $150 million contract ("there won't be any negotiation--they know what I want and that's it")--the sooner management starts jettisoning these overpaid/underachieving players (and Bautista is a big example of this) the sooner the rebuild can begin


MA:  You mean old "One Term" Begich the guy who voted for the ACA because he was told to and didn't even read it before voting?


Why not just come out and admit that you came up with a system to insure that conservatives will never again have a voice on the DP. With as far left as the paper is every conservative comment will be down voted until they just never show up anymore. Way to drive everyone outside of the 470 loop away.


Moving is just another example of wasteful spending. Time and effort and cost to pass this unimportant legislation another waste.  They should knuckle down and get their jobs done now where they are.  I am tired of the cost of "special sessions" when they are not special at all but are routine every year.


Start working at home with Google! It’s by-far the best job I’ve had. Last Wednesday I got a brand new BMW since getting a check for $6474 this - 4 weeks past.

It can't possibly happen soon enough.  Quebec is a different society - so why does the rest of Canada let it dictate to us?


Joe Miller thinks Ted Cruz is the greatest Senator because he wants to obstruct everything that doesn't go his way.  So voting for Joe Miller because you're concerned about obstruction is illogical.


"Les only will do the bidding of those that give him campaign contributions"

Right recoveringhomeroid, because so many low income seniors, foster children, and pre-schoolers are contributing huge $$$ to his campaign. I'm sure the huge contributions the oil industry makes to him is the reason he is trying limit tax credits that the SOA is paying them too!

Try watching Gavel to Gavel, so you at least have some basic understanding of what he attempts to get accomplished on their behalf.


I can not comprehend the struggles of transgenders, and the need to medically alter one's self to identify as a gender. I don't recognize myself by my gender. I get hungry, not her-ungry, I go shopping, not she-opping.
When I meet someone, I don't feel awkward because they're looking at my womanly features. I just don't understand it. Not at all.
Mostly I hope that the kids feel safe and loved and that the parent's decisions don't have negative impact on them - socially or emotionally. I wonder how many people will gasp about the horrors of this arrangement - while little Luke sleeps under a tarp behind Walmart, or kids get dragged through a revolving door of lovers and apartments and domestic violence....

OMG!!! I have a feeling the author needs a mental health evaluation. Hopefully he does not own any firearms.


Cheap shot. You'll find similar observations about Noonan in this Commonweal article that's thirteen years old. Straight from the horse's mouth. Not from Curran's.

What's your point mooseknuckle? White males, muslims, always warning signs and somebody concerned who said nothing and let it happen. Always.


Lol...nice stretch. Tear anything?


It is apparent that either 1) you really enjoy trolling people. There is nothing really wrong with that I suppose. Still, don't you have better things to do? Do you really need to feel superior or the laugh that  badly? For someone who is not a twenty something milli intern ( they are HILARIOUS by the way)  you are pretty sophomoric.  Or is it 2) You  really need affirmation. Seriously none of this is all that intellectually stunning, go smoke through one of those overpriced yuppie asshole vaporizers you review for no discernable reason. Either way,  this is stupid even by your standards

Excellent observation on the obesity rates. CU researchers issued a recent report indicating that the obesity epidemic is playing a critical role in premature deaths. That said, I'm responsible for own health.

I suspect R&R is not all that familiar with Baum's theology.  The fact Baum admitted he was in a gay relationship negates anything the man did in his entire life. As mystikali notes, for the conservative Catholic there is no forgiveness for those gay 'disordered acts'.  I pray that when I die, I will find out that God is not a conservative Catholic.

Hi Paperboy,
I always think about it as a massive project to replace all the children our pill planning spouses will not have, somebody is going to have to pay for all our seniors.
Immigration has become the NEW birthrate project.
I am ok with it, since the planning is easy and the numbers can be tweaked at will or need.
Have a great summer.


What? So the secret of theft is to take it all, then you can't be charged??? I don't get it. What do you mean "let's just get over it"? The government still spends a fortune each year fighting land claim lawsuits and objecting to treaty rights. Seems to me it's the Thief that wants to move on.

"do those individuals that have illegally settled into our own Nation, enjoy the same protections under our own Constitution, or not?"
As I stated before the Constitution protects them roughly similarly to non-citizens that are here legally.  The fact that they committed a crime does not change the limitations on government action under the Constitution.
"The fact that they are here illegally, first and foremost, does, and should not, afford them said protection within our own Constitution"
You are still thinking about the Constitution in the wrong way.  The Constitution does not grant or bestow protections, ie. produce positive rights.  It limits government action, ie. produces negative restrictions.  For example, there is no right to privacy under the words of the Constitution.  It is not specifically "granted" or "bestowed."  However, the limitations on government actions in other areas, e.g. protection from unreasonable search/seizure, grounds such substantive due process rights.


There are Russians on the West side? LOL


Sessions done most everything theDonald wants except investigating Hillary. Why so?
imo, investigating Hillary will open Pandora's Box and "All" politicians will be exposed, they are in fear not wanting to be exposed themselves from the Politician rats within themselves. There are no party lines within the Corruption in Washington politics.


This is wrong. The woman was on her free time and expressed her opinion of the moron-in-chief, as per her first amendment rights.

If admitting the inhabitants of a certain country is perceived as constituting a danger to the host nation, does the host have the right to not allow them in?
If so, does the fact that most inhabitants of that country belong to one religion mean that it is the 'religion' that is being banned and not necesssarily the inhabitants of that country?
If that is the case then regardless of the danger posed by that country;  because all the inhabitants are of the same religion they must be allowed to enter the host nation for to bar them would amount to discrimination on religious grounds.
Does this mean that only those countries who have a certain mix of religions among their inhabitants can be barred as immigrants?
Finally, if a majority of other countries composed of the same religious majority are not included in the ban, how can the ban be said to target that religion?
Don't dismiss this summarily.


I agree with you it is to both Mulroney and Trudeau 2.0's credit to work together for the good of our country.

Like you, I am no fan of Trudeau 2.0.  We shall have to agree to disagree on Mulroney whom I consider to be the greatest post WWII PM on economic issues and policy just as I consider Lester Pearson to have been the greatest post WWII PM on social issues and policy.

As for Chretien, he is simply not considered to be in Mulroney's league by political and business movers and shakers and has little to contribute on this file.

As to buckets of sleaze, if Mulroney has a bucket of sleaze then Chretien has an ocean freighter of sleaze from his golf course and hotel deals to his turning a blind eye for years to the Adscam scam going on right under his nose to his campaign lies and broken promises to win the 1993 election.

Indeed, one of Le Petiti Gar de Shawinigan and Palm Beach's greatest sins was that his phony 1993 campaign set the template leading to McGuinty and Trudeau 2.0


Sexual assault can be substantiated from a medical exam... same as for physical, assault. The courts don't substantiate the assault...they substantiate the guilt of the person accused of the assault.

Donald Trump won the electoral college vote which is not truly democratic because in most states it does not represent the one person one vote concept.  It represents a miniscule winner takes all.  Had Trump won the popular vote by almost 3 million and lost the electoral college I doubt seriously you would be confused.  You would be very angry, and you would be right.


Write or call the Ethics Commission I support of Sheehan. Your voice counts!


An interesting speech for a non-RC to consider. Indeed with some basic emendations, some of the themes could flow from the lips of an evangelical pastor. The elect (chosen by God before time ala Calvin?) of faithful people accepting all the dogma in full with no messy disputes, arguments or questioning.

But the speech was mostly about strictly "inter se" RC things and I won't touch those. But Apb. Chaput, be careful what you dream about. As a mainline church member I know all about smaller when it comes to churches. It has meant an end to publishing houses, hospitals, schools, and institutions. It has meant a loss of influence with the secular world, even as they need to hear the Jesus message more than ever. Be careful about much smaller and purer as your model. In closing I see (all too predictably) that only the problems of TEC are mentioned by traditionalists. In truth, with the under 55 crowd we are all in trouble. See Pew, see the other forums studying faith numbers.


They did apply to the taxpayers bank.


The findings that there are less jobs and lower overall wages reflects the economic reality.  If you raise the price you will sell less.

Vos Canadiens, as I pointed out yesterday, they're back to averaging just over 2 goals/game, at least over their last 10 games.

Anyway, le tricolore, now have Mitchell, Plekanac and Desharnais down the middle.  Don't think you could take these 3 guys and make 1 decent centre out of the parts, but others may dissent.

So, Mtl fans, if you thought your team was dull to the point of tedium before losing Galchenyuk, you ain't seen nothing.

Those evil  'developers' are the ones who demanded that there be thousands and thousands of dollars in fees and 'systems development charges' to city and county bureaucrats before they can even pour a foundation!

I posted the $900+ Lane County septic installation application fee in regard to this project just a few days ago!

The 'developers' demanded that fee, too!

And the ones for curbs and gutters and underground electricity hookups, too!


It was American.


It's still a non-issue, because it's non-relevant.  Take any random judge in the US, shy of the SCOTUS, and they wear a hat with Trudeau's "Because it's 2016" on it. Would anyone seriously think that overt support for Trudeau would translate into a ruling in that court room that would be biased?

Before you answer that, look at this:

http://lawnewz.com/high-profile/judge-wears-anti-trump-pussy-hat-to-court/

That's an overt anti-Trump statement in a US court room, in Texas, and progressives were falling all over themselves to excuse the action and to justify why she should be allowed to continue doing it, and shouldn't be disciplined for it. If they are already making excuses for opposition on the bench to a US Presidential candidate, then would they care if that judge supported a Canadian politician, overtly?


If you say so, okay. Me, I think throwing away $24,000 per car ($3 billion dollars added to our great grandchildrens debt) is not chump change. But maybe I am just not as rich as the rest. Kudos to them if that is just the cost of a weekend of fun.

Fortunately, other than on this forum, people think like me. They know the truth about The King now dethroned.

Who has the power to fire this panel?  This looks so much like a manipulation that the panel has no credibility.  Now it looks to likely that the seemingly silly suggestion of one candidate may have been devilishly clever.  If and only if the Mayor and the City Council are fooled.


Which "consensus" are you talking about Mark as the AGW crowd has changed their angle using a fixed survey by a grad student which was proven to be a sham to then target vague abstracts from reviewed papers that merely mention global warming that only represents 0.3% "consensus" that actually linking AGW to the study in the paper.

John Kerry had to publicly apologize for incorrectly referring to 97% "consensus" as it's a complete sham.

There's a big difference with scientific papers that simply mention AGW (97%) and those that attributed AGW (0.3%)

Every angle of this supposed scientific "consensus" have been proven to be cooked numbers, Mark.

Consensus is used so loosely by so many like yourself without any actual backing most people brush it off like fake news.


I think it's important to keep e-cigarettes mildly regulated, otherwise people might switch back to smoking. I stopped smoking and started vaping after reading an article on how to quit smoking: http://ecig-reviews.net/using-e-cigarettes-quit-smoking/


Beating on children is a crime, regardless of whether or not you dress in blue or wear a badge. When police are guilty of assault, manslaughter, murder or child abuse, they should be arrested, tried and sentenced for their crimes. The rule of law applies, regardless of what a partisan Supreme Court may presume. Hired peace-officers work to protect and serve the people who hired them, and those who enforce the law must also obey and observe the same laws. It's in the book.

When we allow beating on helpless children, we can more easily dismiss murdering unarmed citizens in street executions, and ignore or deny our export of terror, munitions and war, spending trillions to kill millions for billionaires who pay no taxes.  Lesser-evils, wars for profit, unprovoked aggression, trickle-down lies, destruction, debasement, dishonor, avoidable wars, needless drones and presidential murders without due process of law are illegal, unconstitutional and unacceptable.


It comes down to who you trust.

The manifesto was labelled mysogynistic because it was mysogynistic. I don't think there is a big conspiracy to silence certain topics because people don't want to debate them.

Social interactions should be reciprocal. To those who keep bringing up telephones and email, when on the phone or email, both parties are in a reciprocal, equal relationship as neither can see the other.

Uh huh. Sure because the timing of the message had nothing at all to do with what Trump did. Nothing at all. Do you really expect people to believe that? Or do you just not care and a facile excuse is as good as the truth in your book?


Since India has declared that they will be moving to all Electric vehicles by 2030 and China is pushing hard to go the EV route will the pipeline really be necessary.  How long will it take to build once they start? An oil glut is coming and demand will fall probably sooner than later.


Dear Localstateofmind, no one is "just a jerk". humans are products of our life experience including the values we are taught to uphold growing up in our society.

The point of my comment is to compare and contrast the values of traditional Hawaiian society in comparison to the values of western/American society. Hawaiians are taught to malama (nurture and sustain) the natural world because to do so insures the survival of our society. westerners and Americans are taught to rape, plunder, pillage, pollute and lay waste to nature in order to exploit natures resources for the wealth they can produce for the wealthy capitalist elite,

as to my "thinking to deeply", that is a part of my job as a Minister of the Hawaiian Kingdom and a Policy and Strategy Advisor to the Kingdom. Those who govern have a duty and responsibility to "think deeply" about all matters that effect the people and the nation.

What kind of tools are thinking about Charles?   I accept that racial discrimination continues, god knows, we've been seeing it every day on the fascist far right, but we also have the unconscious silent discrimination all along the political spectrum.

How do we move forward from here?


So I was in front of the Hult Center entrance from 4:30pm to 7:00pm holding my SkinnerInDeed.com sign. A well dressed man came out to 'chat' about the conditions if I entered the event, I could not hold up my sign, as it was a City Council Meeting. I told him I had no plans to come in. He said being outside was "fine". Later I see a woman at the top of the steps 'talking into her hand' several times as she looked in my direction. Ahhhh . . . you're talking on your walkie-talkie.  Moments later a rent-a-security guy comes down the steps telling me I could not stand where I was. Out of the way, 'disturbing' no one and out of the rain. He says I have to be on the other side of the curb lights, in the rain. I ask him if I'm on public property. He does not answer, he's just being told to confront me. I tell him I am not moving. I say loud enough for his 'supervisor' to hear that if she wants a "media event" to escalate, I'm a Skinner and would be happy to call Tom Adams/KVAL News. The End.


I hand you the best comment award!!


Why is he down?


I did something I haven't done in 40 plus years, I turned off NFL football and didn't watch any of it.  Not that I support Trump, I don't, at all.  I do support the police officers out there making sure we and these NFL players are safe.  I'm not sure how these players look the officers that are providing security to them in all of theses stadiums in the eye, a disgrace it is.  Congratulations players, you have made a die hard fan disinterested.  Oh well, got some chores done instead.


typical left wing loser, live with less or we will come after you fascist mentality,, and yet you get to vote, thats the real problem,


Amazing that, of all Bernier's ideas, abolishing supply management is considered the craziest. Says a lot about Canada, really -- and not in a good way.


There are several opinions expressing that Hillary is wrong because she supports women's rights to their complete healthcare, and their own life-changing decisions. I believe that the Constitution states that everyone is entitled to their religious beliefs but no one has the right to impose their beliefs on others.


This guy works just like Obama - "we have to come up with an agreement... My agreement.. and if you don't agree I'll take the rest of your Constituents PFD."  There is no compromise with this guy! He's a thug trying to spend as much money that isn't his as possible..


You could begin any sentence with the phrase, "Does Trump not know" ... and be writing the rest  until the universe ends.


So basically, conservatives are happy because they can ignore the suffering and unhappiness around them while liberals want to do something about it so that everyone can be happy.

In that case I'm sure Justice Zabel will be starting each day in court with a 10 minute set of stand up concluding with a recommendation to try the veal.

Or, as has actually happened, he could realize that his "joke" was inappropriate in a court of law.

Thanks for clearing that up Layla. Not that it has anything to do with the subject at hand.


Dave, I can't help but notice that you hastily register a "disagree" with every comment that challenges yours. Is this the behavior that counters "further division" or is it one that adds to it; was there not one thing mentioned that deserved consideration?


I just wonder what kinds of dark secrets OD is hiding behind their walls.  I bet if one were to get into their secret archives we would find things that make the Legionnaries look like Boy Scouts.   I wonder if it came out Escriva was an abuser it would get his canonization reversed?


Scammers spend all day coming up with their nefarious schemes.


Andrew Weaver should say exactly wha  his principles are, stand up for them and get to work.
His one liners to  the media are useless and getting very tiresome.


Canada? That's it man,send them a real estate tax bill.


If they want to make the Seward safe all they have to do is reduce the speed limit to 35 mph and enforce it.


The city's system is down that's why she didn't have a driver's license.


Medical schools in Canada should see their enrollment at least double. The college of Physicians and surgeons is purposefully keeping enrollment low in order to keep supply low. We should be increasing supply such that the supply of young doctors is significantly increased and hence salaries and rates will drop.

There is no reason why medical school should be so elitist. Many other countries open medicine to a far wider socio-economic group with varied backgrounds than just the top % of pre med. This is the issue, it is also what drive many young canadians to pay private universities exhorbitant fees to get into medical schools.


"... the oceans are, in fact, rising ..."  Yes.  They've been rising for about 15,000 years.  Science has known about this for, oh, something like 150 years now.  Oddly, it has never  before been considered a political crisis (or indeed, really a crisis of any sort).  I wonder why the change?  Politics, perhaps?  :-/

Please explain why I would want to listen to someone spout racist ideology.  I will never accept racism and have no desire to espose myself to it.  You seem to suggest that I, for example, should have simply listened to a gentleman call President Obama a "stupid N#$%$" and continue his racist rant.  I confronted the man's racist comment and will confront every racist comment I hear.  I don't feel I need to "improve and broaden my understanding" by listening to racists.  If I wanted to do that, I'd just Google the past speeches by David Duke. Racism is not a "new thing".  It's as old as mankind and is as vile today as it was thousands of years ago.  Thanks, but I'll pass on listening to a white supremacist extoll the virtues of racism.  Gary Crum


Too bad the pages don't come in a softer paper.


Moore upheld the law in this case as he always does regardless if its a Constitutional law case, a tort case, criminal case or whatever.  He always upholds the Constitution and the law.


Yea I know, whispering hero's whispering to themselves.


He acted like it was Yalta when repeal passed the house. He's still on a reality show playing someone actually accomplished.


I know right its not like the people there know more than you. They probably are saying they told the people to leave them alone sarcastically whereas we know you are both credible and straight... I mean you are commenting online not like those shmucks who show up and stand around in the cold like l0sers!


I hope, Wavemaker, that the ADN shall be brave enough to publish mine own letter that I just submitted, and that YOU shall be brave enough to take up said challenge.

When one has a choice of where to live, Surrey is close to the bottom. Given the rate of displacement of people from other areas of the lower mainland, however, Surrey will continue to grow as a region of last resort.


"White people make up roughly 62 percent of the U.S. population but only about 49 percent of those who are killed by police officers. African Americans, however, account for 24 percent of those fatally shot and killed by the police despite being just 13 percent of the U.S. population. As The Post noted in a new analysis published last week, that means black Americans are 2.5 times as likely as white Americans to be shot and killed by police officers.

U.S. police officers have shot and killed the exact same number of unarmed white people as they have unarmed black people: 50 each. But because the white population is approximately five times larger than the black population, that means unarmed black Americans were five times as likely as unarmed white Americans to be shot and killed by a police officer."

Hahaha! This is a good observation. Sure. Gordhan's in full mood to do that to the country.


I am going to give you a pass on the understanding of your awareness of the magnitude of this issue.


I am so happy you found her! Enjoy your sweet hound.


Of course, we are going to take more money out of your pocket "to protect future generations" when Canada can turn out the lights for 500 years and it won't make a difference to the world anyway, "because it's 2016" but we don't give a darn about shackling the future generations with huge debts they will be paying for until their dead.  That's right. the hypocrisy and ignorance of the public is astounding.  BTW, I didn't agree with debt or deficits with Harper either.  It's a joke. All  the money is borrowed. It's never even considered to reduce the size or cost of government.  They don't care at all about present or future, just votes and how they can raise some more money by selling their souls.

Bill Ayers wrote Obama's autobiography. What's your point?


And yet you don't "test" the idea behind the word you used ("penalized")?

Doesn't it strike you that perhaps you've swallowed the secular's world's criteria: power, (misunderstood) freedom, position, accolades, money, rights?

The goal in life is self-gift, love.   How you demean motherhood (and of course indirectly fatherhood).

The noblest vocations (I didn't use the secular word "profession") in the world are mother and father.

We have to "give back to them" their noble and holy meanings, sucked out and distorted by secularists.

There is no greater love (and use of freedom) than laying down one'e life (and of course ambitions etc. ) for someone else.

Jesus taught us this.

Your whole schpiel is so utterly temporal, secular. Every bit of it.  You just can't see it.  There's a whole other plane of action.  It's hard even to talk to you, since you don't recognize the supernatural in the ordinary.


keonimay, that's a good point. HART was created to oversee Da Rail as a semi-autonomous, independent agency, and we all know what a fiasco that has been. How would a similar airport entity be any different? But It is out bloated state bureaucracy that's the problem.

“It’s our showcase,” he [Dunkerly] said. “It’s the first place people see on arrival..."

Even the potholed approach roads and sidewalks leading to the airport are a disgrace. How long have the temporary construction barricades been in place? And the weeds along Nimitz constantly encroach upon the sidewalks. When even the little things are ignored, you can be sure that the big things will be as well.

Yeah, that's it.  It's the consumers' fault for being easy marks.


The climate change is a lobby itself,  if you actually take the records of POLLUTION, then you'd get the real figures and that pollution is real. China claims it's combating climate change, however I would not suggest to drink any water from a tap while you are there (or even in Calgary for that matter) and you will have lung problems in their major cities.


YAY!!!.....lets go set them off in the woods.


Well I am glad he is not doing it for the money or notoriety.


Of course health care costs are a factor, but they are not the primary factor; salaries and administrative overhead are the primary factors.


Ward your posts are emblematic of everything wrong in this country these days......and a perfect example of why there will never again be peace in this country. And you want it that way so you can always have enemies to aim your personal hatred at.
How sad, and how sadly predictable.


What did you learn, if anything?


Mr. Sherman... Quoted from Patrick J. Buchanan, We hear the grievances. Where is the gratitude?
What more opportunity is it that the White people need to give to help the Blacks?
If the poor white got this much opportunity there would be no poor white or lower class of white trash people!!
The main problem why black people are not progressing is the, "They owe me factor"!! Get it in your head! No Body Owes You Any Thing!

Talk about new 'ladders of opportunity' for blacks. Go to Altoona? And Johnstown, and ask the white kids in Catholic schools how many were visited lately by Ivy League recruiters handing out scholarships for 'deserving' white kids?
Is white America really responsible for the fact that the crime and incarceration rates for African-Americans are seven times those of white America?


There is more to this giveaway than most Alaskans know. To see what we Alaskans get for our oil, compared to what other people in Norway, Iraq, Bahrain Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi, and other oil producing countries get for theirs, Click the link below. Alaska has produced more oil per capita than most of them. If we had retained the same share of profits they retained, and deposited the extra money in the Permanent Fund, your dividends would look a lot more like dividends in Bahrain Kuwait, and Qatar, about $60,000 per year.

Hancock knows the Black Community will vote 99% for a black candidate, no matter how little that politician does for them. He can screw them over all he wants to try and get the Hispanic vote. Throw in the 20% of white voters who love to pat themselves on the back for supporting illegals and he is untouchable.


You can claim to offer more, but you and I both know that it isn't going to happen.
It was a deflection because we you deflected to those massive tax cuts for the wealthy.
I'm not the one on here preaching about how people should be helping more.  That's you.  I help every time money comes out of my paycheck.  That appears to not be enough for you.


Those amendments do not disallow everything. You must produce a DL if driving and proof of insurance.


He will with politicians like Trevor Ozawa who say one thing and vote another way. Typical self serving politician.


Loves our saints, thanks to Phyllis McGinley for her Saint-Watching, and Ann Sexton for the poem based on it.


There were 0 buyers between Nov 2008 and Feb 2009.  I went to see an agent and he said "I have never witnessed a time when there were 0 buyers".  A real correction would have occurred if banks and gov allowed it to happen.  It's now much worse.

Sorry but incomes are reported as income from ALL sources.  Unless you deal with cash and are not reporting (this only applies to mobster/mafia/hell's angels crowd).

Supply and Demand is a great text book story but sadly doesn't work in the "real" world.  We know that most people are irrational, which is why you can sell a piece of crap for $1.3M to someone earning 150k.  Unemployment is low because you have hordes of people earning $15/hour... What house are they buying?


The tragedy is that this guy was allowed to influence young minds as a university professor.


If you still trust her now, me posting a thousands links from reputable news sources won't change anything. I'll save my time. Emails conveniently deleted, FBIs deemed her "extremely negligent", DNC emails hacked showing her working rig the nomination and get rid of the Bernie problem. Organizing fake protests... The least of these worries and this is just this weeks revelations. Yep, I wish I was making all that up but you should know by now that I'm not Allen or you having been paying attention.


Condolences to Amy's family, friends and companions


Jesus did NOT conform to the status quo of his culture - ON IMPORTANT ISSUES.
Jesus spoke with the Samaritan woman at the well AND asked her for a drink. That was taboo!
Jesus - a spiritual authority - dined with tax collectors and prostitutes. Again - taboo in his Jewish culture.
Jesus' disciples didn't follow the proper cleansing ritual before eating. Taboo too.
 . . . . . . On down the line.

Jesus wore sandals - cause that's all he had -there were no Gucci slippers available.

Jesus DID NOT have to pick only men for his apostles - but He did. Whenever there was an important issue to deal with - Jesus always SET the standard - regardless of what others would think!


Spot on...........home school please I beg you !


Ha, this is hilarious, and shows you just how statistics can be used to paint two very different pictures.
Statement 1 (quote): "statewide robbery rates have decreased over the last 30 years". True.
Statement 2: statewide robbery rates are now at their highest point in almost two decades. Also true.
Statement 3: Alaska rape, assault and robbery all higher now than at turn of century. Also true.
Statement 1 (from the article) might lead you to believe that your personal experience of thefts going up is a hallucination. Statements 2 & 3 sound almost sensational, but no less true than 1 or 2.
Important to put the critical thinking cap on once in a while. I wonder what the value of the 30-year histogram is? Is it telling a story about generational changes? Are there conclusions one can draw from this and are they different than 5, 10 or 15-year views? What do they correlate to?


Meanwhile in other insignificant news, also rated as drivel, rain fell in the Amazon..


Thank you for your contributions to our community, Ms. Kirkland. Your articles always give our family the inspiration and information to get out and enjoy our great land, armed with information, advice and an understanding of the challenges.  Greatly appreciated!


"The difference between willingly risking one’s life and health in service of country and risking one’s life and health for the profits of tobacco companies is vast."

I do not know a single person who smokes for the express benefit of tobacco companies in the same way they serve in the military for the benefit of their country. Usually they smoke because they like to smoke. The RG's comparison is absurdly unhelpful.

I hate smoking, particularly when my neighbor does so on his porch for an hour at dawn, and his smoke drifts in my window as I try to cool my house. Even so, I prefer people have the right to make the decision to smoke for themselves once they are of reasonable age to know the consequences, which they certainly should by 18. However, they should not be able to force others to bear any part of the costs of that decision. Tobacco should be taxed at a rate to cover all health costs for its use. Those taxes should be held in a superfund which would reimburse health providers.


Worth a try! What could go wrong?


I wonder if all the pedophiles are sent to the sex offender prisons in all cases.  I've heard these guys love these special prisons as the same subject of conversation 24/7 reigns. so now we are going to host this manipulative, useless creep for at least 25 years in prison.  if he lives long enough, he gets out in his 70's  and starts hunting all over again with a pent up libido and all kinds of advice as to how to "succeed" this time, as per his inmate peers are concerned.


This is totally false.  It is YOU who is distorting and trying to defuse the impact of the horrible comments trump made about gun owners shooting Hillary Clinton.

It wasn't a joke when he suggested violence against Clinton, and it is more pathetic that people like you try to pretend that's not what he did.  Everyone knows that's what he did, hoping some deranged gun owner would read between HIS lines and shoot Hillary Clinton.  That is what happened, whether you deny it or not.  You just can't handle the fact that your candidate is a nutjob.


Need a citation, indubitably, ALWAYS.


It’s so precious when Republican senators pretend they give a damn about their constituents:

Travel tourism and adherence to the Paris Accord are not compatible. We need to do everything we can to discourage travel tourism that involves plane travel.

1 round trip plane excursion from the East Coast to Colorado creates a larger carbon foot print than the guidelines of the Paris Accord allow for an entire year.


Why is it called 'Stunt Driving'?  Such a stupid term for what is speeding or racing.


The resignation of Festing is evidential, no? Surely F could have pointed out any relevant iniquities by B. Not sure it's wise to cling to the hope that F will be vindicated at this point. But I recognize this news is fresh and there may be more to learn.


As soon as all the leftists are kicked out, which is already happening in the US, UK and other parts of Europe.


PNolan, none of your comment is based upon reality.  The actual economic policies of the Reagan administration were demonstrably favorable to the general population.  Your theory of the function of government is wrong.  There are, of course, cases where governments do control rabble or re-distribute wealth, but those are not primary functions, as the briefest of study of the actual history of government would show you.


Trump and many of his Christian supporters fail to follow the teachings of Christ as laid out in the Bible about the treatment of aliens, immigrants, and refugees. The Bible says that God commands that we treat immigrants and refugees as if they were citizens. There are many Bible pasages you can quote on this. Here are just two of them:  Leviticus 19:33-34 and 24:22 – When the alien resides with you in your land, you shall not oppress the alien.  The alien who resides with you shall be to you as the citizen among you; you shall love the alien as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt:  I am the Lord your God.” Ezekiel 47:21-22 – The aliens shall be to you as citizens, and shall also be allotted an inheritance. There are many more as this was a consistent teaching of Christ.

Makes sense, Michigan is represented by 2 Democrats in the senate.
I'd love to see the debate between one of them and Kid Rock, must see TV.


No one ever wants to 'pay' for anything. However, a majority of Oahu residents want to see rail reach Ala moana. So it is time for the politicians to think beyond their own reelection and provide the funding source needed to do that.
My post above is an objection to the notion this should be an Oahu only issue. The islands are interconnected on so many levels.


The ANC will try to get mileage out of everything forever, whether it fits or not, that is how depserate they are.


Interestingly, under the US constitution those people have their citizenship revoked and could be deported.


The point is he falls within the definition of "Law abiding citizen".   So what if he does not follow the rules.  Who does?  Look at all the people who exceed the speed limit on the roads.

So you are against the second Amendment?  Come on, what is the problem with you?  He is entitled to a gun is he not?  Does the NRA know about you?  lol


Emily Jashinsky is a moron


We have to have faith in out good citizenry. Our good girls demonizing our good guys has led to the resurgence of the bad guy.


Scary describes what the environmental policies did to Ontario.


Thank you for posting this link, "Senator". It's unfortunate that it won't reach a wider readership. I I would never condone it, nor wish it on his loved ones, but I fear the best hope for America is a quick and painless head shot.


This isn't just an foreigner issue. It's also a domestic greed issue. The real fix, is a speculation tax for people who own more than one or two properties. A 25% tax Canada wide would flatten out the market and not be challengeable under NAFTA or WTO so long as all Canadians are affected.

His statement about the meetings he had with the Russians illustrated this picture of him: incompetent, in over his head, out of his depth, naive and oblivious.  The Russians are playing him, just like they played Trump Jr., exploiting the vulnerability of their ignorance in this kind of affairs.  That's the peril of Trump's relying on family loyalty over experience.


You're quoting the Sun???  LOL.  BTW, Stats Can and Rev Canada are not the same animal.


At a minimum the article should have named the HR firm and mentioned some companies where these employees would have been sent. Total lack of context in this article.


They don't listen or care.


Wait, why is the Oregon State Police Captain Fugate speculating on the cause of the crash even as he also states, as quoted, that they are still conducting the investigation? That's not appropriate.


Donald Trump and a Turd Sandwich walk into restaurant. Donald orders prime rib, a bottle of ketchup, and a beautiful slice of chocolate cake. He leaves a yuge tip. The turd sandwich orders coffee and a donut and leaves a 50 cent tip. Their waitress says, "I hope that orange buffoon never comes here again."


At this point there is no simple solution - the contracts have been signed and the money spent.
Enjoy  .-)


I wonder if the terrorists will leave us alone while we continue to arm the Israelis.


As a card carrying libertarian, I find this initiative appalling. Any regressive democrat with a preschool level understanding of economics would know that artificially limiting growth in the housing market will only drive housing costs higher, further driving out the poor by making it more unaffordable to live in Colorado. It's called supply and demand. If the supply of a highly demanded product goes down, the cost for that product goes up, especially if that supply is artificially limited.

All the policies that have been passed in the last 20 years by so-called progressives have created the perfect storm in the Colorado housing crisis we have today: increased property taxes, inordinately high and unnecessary construction standards which drive up insurance costs for developers, and now artificially capping growth. If anything, this initiative is an attack on the poor. Funny how democrats attempts to help are actually making the housing situation worse for those on the bottom.


Republicans in City and County of Denver government? What's that?


where do these illegals come from?? I think that a country of our size with a relatively small population should be able to locate these people appropriately (not major towns) help them find work/ open business etc. if they are legitimate. We are not Donald Trumps USA. I think some of Trumps ideas have credibility , but we cannot be anti- immigration.


I think this opinion piece scores very low in terms of evaluating Trump's overall science policy.  Hager confuses global-warming-related studies with all of science.  Lot's of federal money is being wasted on global-warming-related pseudo science.  Hager could have made a stronger argument for his point if, for example, he had identified just one concrete result produced during the ARPA-E energy summit meeting whose demise he laments.   Yeah, Hager (like Bob Doppelt) likes to burn jet fuel to attend big hoola climate-change-related conferences, but what good do they do.  Hager should rethink his argument.  Focus on the concrete.  I expect that Trump is a great supporter of all science related to opening new horizons, to improving products, computers, etc.  Trump may be opposed to spending endless billions on quixotic climate change research.  Doesn't mean he doesn't support science more generally.


" I just think he would make the situation here even worse."

It's a joke. Maybe a bad joke. But don't start censoring humor.


Totally agree.  That is why I continue to call him red. Oddly, until this article printed, I could not recall his name, which was good.

BTW, we need to get together sometime, hopefully with erudite.


Where is the referenced study indicating that banning tobacco use is detrimental to health? Where was the ban? How are pipes and cigars safer than cigarettes? Sorry, I guess I found a lot in your brief comment to question ;-)


Sanders is right. It's a new brand but the same party composed of the same people.
I spend a lot of time in France, and even have friends who support LePen, but I find even in them one common characteristic, xenophobia, or more simply, irrational fear of others who are not like them.
Most admit it openly.
I just remind them that it was foreigners who fought and died to save the cowardly derrieres of their ancestors from the Nazis. They have no good response to that fact.


I made that claim to you at the time and you denied it at the time. You just claim the priest is innocent. Maybe it is your strong support for clericalism that comes across. Look at Disqus yourself.
Donald Trump used fear and anger of minorities to win the election. Racial intolerance to blacks. Religious intolerance to Muslims. Nationalist intolerance to Mexicans. This has resulted in some incidents reported on the news where these minorities have been verbally or physically attacked. These lives matter as well. Trump is responsible for his divisive hate campaign. How will this make America great again? How will he be president for all the people by without surrounding himself with a diverse group of people.
The Catholic Bishops support for Trump is designed to collect funds from their rich republicans. The minorities are ignored. Quoting Burke generally show support for his point of view.
The country is deeply divided and it is time to stop the fear and anger. Not support it.


how about 0 tax breaks for everyone, and a flat 30% income tax.

It's been seven years the since the purchase, have they identified anything linked to the Iraqi museum yet?


Not that it matters.


Sorry that wasn't my point.  I was only stating that the negative goal differential would have concerned me more had the team been a high scoring one, which they were not.


Once again, B20 is the "Official" game changer!

The end of the credit bubble = The end of the RE bubble.

The RE industry will pump out more propaganda that nothing has changed, keep buying, nothing to see here. Yeah right! Think of "B20" as a gigantic pin heading straight into an inflated bubble.


"Claire Syrett, meet the Black Market, Black Market, Claire Syrett and the tens of thousands of people who buy and use cannabis in Eugene." Do you really think people are going to consistently pay 20% more or go to the source they've used for years?


That extreme disparity in income and assets is a bad thing is an idea that goes back at least to Adam Smith.


Regardless of the Congressional disapproval of Trump's executive orders, the Republicans won't lift a finger to counter them - yet. The new president is very popular with the members of Mr. Trump's "movement" and a Republican Congress will be unwilling to rock the boat at this stage. Trump put the Republicans back in power by his sheer populist message. This occurred in the same vein as the Liberal Party's beholden gratitude to Justin Trudeau for bringing them back from third party status to government.


Cannabis can be cheaply and easily extracted and concentrated. A 100% THC product can be produced for under $100.00 a kilo. I do it all the time with other plants that we extract and concentrate - have done for decades.

Need specific levels and kinds of cannabinols? That'll be an extra ten or twenty dollars a kilo.

No chemicals are used in the process, just carbon dioxide. This process is used everyday, all over the world, to produce millions of tonnes of concentrated plant extracts. It's old tech - cheap simple and effective.

Yet this global fully functional, multi billion dollar industry, has been shut out of the cannabis "legalisation" process in favour of connected insiders and greedy security industry types.

100:1 Astragalus root extract concentrate, is priced today at $90.00 a Kilo. It takes 2-4 years to grow the roots. the yield from cannabis is TEN TIMES that of Astragalus!

We're all being snowed by these people "forming" this industry. It's a complete and utter scam!


Did you read the article Grady? Apparently not. Both republican and democratic officials in virtually every state are refusing to comply fully with the request.


Meanwhile Labour's Corbyn campaigned to Remain but privately sided with Leave.


Good cause;  Paul Allen is a quiet force for many good things.


"laughed loudly throughout the entire trial"  That is a serious accusation.  Can you show evidence to this?  I'm really very curious.


Maybe you should move to San Fran and go live in a box with the other human trash.  Alaska has lots of hard working people (including natives) which don't want to support these lazy people.


No that is not why churches are exempt for taxation.

We made them exempt as a courtesy but we require them to remain out of politics in order to keep that exemption.

And tax exemptions for churches, or anyone else for that matter, have not always existed in our country.


Hey Wa Po - you LOST.  your 95% negative articles didn't work to defeat Trump.  Your smear machine - guess what no one CARES what Washington Post thinks!!  You ignore Clintons getting filthy rich off of their foundation...


Abortion is legal because Harry Blackmun thought he was the smartest man on the Court and jury-rigged a decision which threw a wrench into reaching a democratic consensus and has led to decades of conflict and an intractable divide in American politics and opinion.

Assuming for a moment that a human life amendment were passed, abortion would be as illegal for those who want people to stay out of their lives and don’t have to justify themselves to anyone.

And whether that amendment were passed by “the ultra-Republican right” or people who believed their next neighbors were Venusians would be irrelevant.

Like the Dredd Scott decision, this hare-brained judicial edict laid the seeds of its own destruction.


When does an investigation stop turning into a Stalin inquisition? At some point you have to stop.


This Vancouver housing bubble should have never got so out of hand. Those receiving huge Government salaries, VIP benefits and massive government pensions in all three levels of government have been inept and willfully ignorant about the situation causing massive economic and demographic changes many for the worse.
Those who are to blame have been involved and elected for over 10 years and knew or should have known what it going on as that is why their benefit package is so generous. To this very day any questions or being held to account is met by silence and obfuscation. In Vancouver Federal Liberal MP's Joyce Murray , Hedy Fry and Mayor Gregor are all guilty for doing NOTHING and not even being concerned about the plight of their constituents.


ADN and it's ilk will not let up on Trump at all.  Even though the election is over, everything said and done by Trump will be spun to be a contradiction of what he has said.  The hatred the media has for this man knows no bounds, and they will show it every time they can.
The irony is that people like Sara Fredericks (see comment below) want the media to call Trump whenever they can but are willing to give HRC a pass on all of her LIES.
At least let the guy put forth some definite proposals and plans, Sara and others.  Ignore the mud-slinging and pot-stirring by the ADN, Washington Post, New York Times, etc. until we actually see what's going on.  HRC had every chance to win this election, but she has no one to blame but herself, her ego, and her attitude.  Deal with it!


Yeah, right.  I was born in Yokohama during the occupation in 1947, and my dad showed up at the hospital with his Red Cross girlfriend to show me off to her.  That went over like a turd in a punchbowl with my mom, who got on a boat back to the states with me and my older sister as soon as she could.  I was brought up by a single mom in her 20's in the 1950's when the was no welfare, and got passed around to friends and family for several years.  Ended up leaving home at 17 and working my way through my senior year of high school sleeping on my older sister's couch.  I was born and raised poor, and I was never lazy because I didn't want to stay poor.  I graduated near the top of my class, got 99th percentile SATS, and got a scholarship to college.  First home I ever lived in that wasn't a rental was my own, which I bought with a VA loan when I was 29.  Went to 16 different schools in 7 different states growing up.

"It is not a matter of religion...This is about our nations safety."
Let me see if I understand your position correctly.  We should ignore one aspect of American ideology, ie. the separation of church and state, and only focus on another aspect of American interest, ie. national safety?  Nor should anyone consider the possible violation of the Constitution by a guy who just swore a little over a week ago to "preserve, defend and protect" the Constitution because of his alleged good intent?


We already have a monarchy. Why would we want to add Mad King Donald?


What is disrespectful is lying to the Canadian public about the true nature of these fundraisers.


This is great!  It'll only mean that the best and brightest need apply.  At least Podesta is not in there.  Seems that there are a lot of hidden Obama/Clinton radicals lurking amongst the new Pres. WH staff.  But if Doug Chin were trying to look for anti-muslimists, then he should focus on Geert Wilders.

The left is just supporting the 'ole Patsy Mink playbook of "just oppose everything" tactics.  When oh when will there be a positive story about the new administration?

"In 2009, Pope Benedict offered a personal apology to Phil Fontaine, a residential school survivor and Grand Chief of the Assembly of First Nations. That apology was not accepted by the commission because it was not offered to all victims of residential schools."

It's not fair!

Why can't we just mindlessly support just one side?

I thought there were only winners and losers? Black and white? Even Ronald Reagan told us that the world could be comprehended as a battle between good and evil . . . which was freakin' awesome because not only did he capitalize on the rise of non-relative adventure storytelling movies in the 1980s where there was ALWAYS good vs. evil, Reagan just made the world a simpler place.

Please put this neverending, historically-rich and vaulting history of the Middle East into easy-to-understand paradigms such as Good vs. Evil.

Moral relativity?
Intellectualism?
Context?
History?

Pfft! . . . boring! . . . choose a side. The Good Guys. And let's win this thing against the Evil Empire.


Air pollution is one of the leading causes of death on the planet. The World Health Organization's 2014 study of mortality from air pollution found that about 3,000,000 people a year die from effects of "ambient" (outdoor) air pollution.

Skepticat makes an excellent point, below, when he calls the AQI a "death index". Science probably knows about how much the mortality rate increases per percent of beta scatter, although this would vary given differing populations and geography.

I wonder if anyone has correlated local emergency room admissions and the AQI.

No, I'm saying, based on previous comments you've made at NCR, that you're a Nazi apologist. Don't bother responding to my comments. My reply will always be a big "f*** you."


Do the math people. These people don't work, they are homeless! Yet you see them smoking and drinking. Where does that money come from?? It isn't coming from handouts!! I don't want them anywhere near my kids or my home. The park by my kids school had such a problem with homeless they came in and cut down a bunch of trees. They moved to the other side. They cut those trees out. The team that cleaned the park said they took out over 200 needles, condemns, drug paraphernalia, and bags of biohazard garbage. This park is behind a big church, on the side of a busy street and next to a good neighborhood. Their street corners are disgusting, imagine their camps!! They choose drugs & drink. They aren't trying to get a job.
I agree getting teens off the street is important. They are easy prey & they don't have safe places to go. Most don't have safe homes. They need shelter, food, school and a support network. Kids don't necessarily have a choice, adult homeless CHOOSE to stay homeless.


A sad day for the families of the missing sailors.


The Difference Between Donald Trump & Pope Francis

King Herod sent his men to kill the baby Jesus. Joseph was warned in a dream to flee with Mary and Jesus and go to Egypt. When Herod's men were in hot pursuit, they approached the Egyptian border. Standing at the border were Donald Trump and Pope Francis. Donald Trump yelled, "You terrorists can't come across the border!!" Pope Francis protested by saying, "Heh! Herod's men are refugees, too! Let's welcome them. It's the Christian thing to do!"


Gee, I wonder if this person is a bias social justice warrior, lol

Good, this is really good. The more time Turdeau spends outside of Canada, the less likely he is to continue in his failing ways, talk about out-of-touch!!

Tell Justin Turdeau to take a few extra months off this year and to ensure his holiday is booked outside of North America. I've heard Damascus is quite nice this time of year, arrange a trip for his entire support staff too, including his diaper..


Like a jewelry store owner, I'm wondering why his weapons aren't locked up at the end of the day. It may be expensive, but his display cases could be transformed into a "lock box" type of case each day at closing. It wouldn't take long to secure them, and a thief attempting to open them would also give the police more time to respond (assuming he has an alarm).


Quadruple the fines and use the money to fund the police necessary to address the criminals who are trespassing.  Make the people who are causing the problem (by allowing crack/heroin/spice buildings to flourish) to manage their properties.

Wow! Jughead figured this all by himself.  Not to mention that he is the boss and should have been paying attention.  Guess he was too busy traveling with his buds.  Deciding whom to give the cash to.


Hey, pseudo--"anomie" doesn't mean what you think it does.  The primary meaning is breakdown of customary social and ethical norms.  It also sometimes refers to personal alienation from society that results from such breakdown.  It doesn't mean "the absence of any emotion at all"; the word for that is "alexithymia."  And it doesn't mean "depression". Both of these are clinical entities.  "Anomie" is strictly a sociological concept.

Not one penny of federal money is used for abortions.  Federal money that goes to Planned Parenthood is reserved for women's health needs such as gynecological screening and contraception, of which PP is one of the major providers to poor women.  Of course the government doesn't want states to accept money designated for those needs and then simply deny it to PP because a religious clique controls their legislatures and wants to make a grandstand play for their fans.

Reread Schopenhauer, idiot.  And stay away from Pound--he's too hard for you.


Liberals are bound and determined to restore Oregon to Tax Hell, USA, and what caused our state to stay in permanent recession in the 1980's.


I've generally seen it written as Quebeckers.
I think that Quebecers would be pronounced "Quebesers"


Trudeau and the liberals are traitors to Canada and western democracy. Shame on them. With all their other lies they can never be given power again.


The Quebec lieutenant is not Maxime Bernier. Bernier had the leadership stolen (ref. Corcoran article in N.P.) by the milk and hen people getting together to support Scheer, and now the cost is the loss of one of ten Consrvative held seats in Quebec. This is what is going to put Mr. Trudeau back in power next election: no loss of Quebec seats, possibly gains, whereas with Mad Max there would have been losses for sure.


Shills for certain industries like to use arguments to prevent people from seeing that most of the things that will benefit them environmentally will also benefit them economically. There is an attempt to distort the message and accuse the messengers of hypocrisy which implies the message they are delivering is not valid.
For example, the simplistic assumptions about using AC misrepresent what is to be accomplished through a number of processes to reach goals that will give people a more comfortable environment, for a reduced cost to people and the society.  Housing should be built using well know principles to reduce the heating and cooling needs.  Those needs should be meet efficiently to reduce the need of things like fossil fuels.
I find this article that is based on ignorance and false simplistic assumptions with all the conclusions false to be contemptable because it endangers our future.


Yes - You go Jaded ! Let's eliminate all the babies who might grow up in difficult circumstances, that's the answer, but wait, how about these old people who are just as miserable, let's eliminate them as well. We can't do it overtly, but we can cut off their insurance and coerce them to do it themselves. Yes, that;s the answer - Go Pete Go...


Indeed.  But I was responding to a suggestion that Poland should refund the EU.


It means to be injured by the device that you intended to use to injure others. Petards were explosive devices used to blow holes in gates or walls during the sixteenth century. In Shakespeare's Hamlet it was originally written as follows: "For tis the sport to have the enginer Hoist with his owne petar."


Exactly correct. Nate sets up a false dilemma. There are many other options. Thanks for pointing them out.


Repeat after me: "Opus Dei, qui tollis pecuniam mundi, dona nobis partem".


It's the Democrats who ought to be shaking in their boots. They are a lost party and headed the way of the Whigs if they keep failing to learn from their mistakes.


Wow, and you're just coming to that eureka moment now?

Aren't you just way ahead of the curve....


See this is exactly why I don't let my husband do any tree maintenance on our property! It's not worth the risk! Our tree service in Salem, Oregon (Oregon Woodsmen - http://oregonwoodsmen.com/) always utilizes solid and upgraded equipment so they get the job (trimming, pruning, removing, etc) done efficiently. I'd question whether this arborist was using out of date equipment like some contractors/DIY'ers tend to do..?


I was appalled at a CBC interview given by Mr. O'Leary perhaps 6 weeks back. He laid into Rachel Notley with a real junk yard dog-style attack. That might be great for TV ratings in a fragmented entertainment universe, but it is no way to build a society. The man doesn't know the first thing about what would qualify him for political leadership, and if Conservatives are smart about the future of a great party, they need to show this guy the door. When he leaves to return south, it would be great if he could only find a slot among his minions for Ezra Lavant. The party could well do without such divisiveness.


That was a disgraceful reMark.

The left is finally realizing people are tired of their way of thinking.


what does your comment have to do with what he posted? aren't you doing the same thing as what you are saying? two cents worth?


Paddling classes?  Is that legal?  Does it hurt?


Its a non-issue. The ethics commissioner has already said this is all legal and above-board.

Its not sticking on Trudeau (his numbers are still way up) because people in Canada don't just believe what the opposition says.


That would be relevant information.  The state may be counting benefits as part of total retirement amount.


Except for the alleged airport closures, I'm basically OK with the rest.


Yes a Canadian is a Canadian " unless you live in Justin's Provence of the chosen ones !!!
Remember when he stated the French are naturally better leaders than the West, yes all those ignorant Westerns allowing women to ware what they want - shame on them.
Truly the Liberals are the gift that keeps giving, yes Justin anthimg for a vote.


This should never have happened. There should be no gaps in law enforcement procedures. Sometimes I believe our government officials remove their heads and place them on their chairs before being seated.


Very nice of an ANC member to be "appalled", all your so-called leaders you've thrown onto society have caused the ruin of our country, you very well ought to be appalled and ashamed. Anyone who voted for Zuma, who disrespected our Constitution by voting in a known rapist and criminal into power, is complicit, and you deserve nothing from this Country, nothing!


if you are a hipster, Old Portland started 10 years ago.


Ummmmm, and so Rhyner is suggesting we look at their faces to... what?  What other aspect of their diversity is he suggesting we ascertain by doing this? The sizes of their noses maybe?

I'd say this was thinly-veiled, dog-whistle, white supremacist, racial cleansing talk, but actually Rhyner didn't attempt to veil it at all, even with a thin one. And Josieaka, you should be ashamed of yourself for defending it.


Trudeau actually re-posted this on his Twitter account four hours ago:

"Sara E. MayhewVerified account @saramayhew  4h4 hours ago

I don't know but it was one of Harper's Senate leaders who told newly-appointed Conservative Senators "Remember who gave you the job!"


Your low end Civics and Corollas are made in US and Canada which contradicts your point that they cannot be made competitively here.


The left are the only ones allowed to coin phrases and make up words like homophobia, micro aggression, trigger, etc.  When anyone on the right does the same, they ask why (eye roll).  They are the Ministry of Information and will control what we see, hear, say and believe.  Welcome to 1984.


DP, your credibility is shot. The problems in DougCo schools are BECAUSE of reformist school board members. Shame on you for perpetuating lies.


To be fair, I don't really think getting laughed at counts as legitimate persecution, especially when the same article says they are laughing at the rest of us... "believers invite fellow adherents to open discussions in which the like-minded confirm one another’s hunches and laugh at the folly of those still stuck in the Enlightenment." I'm not advocating meanness and name-calling, but if they're dishing it out, they better be prepared to take it.


Quite the story.  Trial will make headlines.  Not the first time this has happened


The CIP makes my mouth water. Where can I go to eat their delicious creations? At their Diamond Head school grounds? And when will they be open to the public?


It's about the economy, stupid!

How long will it take to understand that.


It is totally relevant because it is not wise to make a country that does not respect human rights wealthy and powerful. If they treat their citizen so badly, how do you think they will treat non-Chinese.
Not to mention this is a regime that continues to murder respectable Chinese citizens and essentially sentenced Liu Xiaobo who won the nobel peace price and whose only "crime" is to advocate democracy to a death sentence by failing to properly treat his cancer at the early stages. Shame on you for defending such a inhuman regime.


None of that makes a difference. I don't like to draw hyperbolic comparisons, but Hitler won by a landslide, so did Mussolini, and Pol Pot, and most of the men that knew what people wanted, could read and exploit their weaknesses, and wreaked havoc on the 20th Century. Trump is a menace.

And rest assured he does not play chess. Putin plays chess. Trump does not have the temperament for the finesse and subtlety of chess. If you played chess you would know this.


Wanna bet Clinton wins Alaska?


What absolute nonsense!  Coming from this mutt and his leanings as a Dimmocrat, it's 'par for the course'.  First, Colorado drivers licenses, now, 'a fund for legal aid for 'illegal aliens' to fight deportation'  Here Illegally, broke the laws of our nation, and this 'mayor' sets up a 'fund' for their legal plight, what absolute nonsense.  Has anyone ever debated this 'mayor'?  He's a real dope, and the embarrassment would be entertaining.


Didn't this happen once in Girdwood?


Ah, too bad your Donald guy doesn't receive praise. Sometimes you just need to do some good to be worthy.


Returning control of health insurance back to the states would be a great idea, if this is what they are proposing. Keep in mind a couple of things:
1) If your state had high premiums before Obamacare that was the fault of your state government being in the pockets of the special interest groups. Change your state government and stop with the buying across state lines!
2) The whole cost of the unemployed ill and the unemployed with pre-existing conditions fell solely on the shoulders of people who buy their own insurance out of their own pockets. Time to get the other 270 million people to shoulder some of that cost.


Not only did this guy's cowardly  behavior changed the lives of his family but the victim's family as well! Sad and great losses to everyone. Heartfelt condolences to all especially to the Kishida's family.


we just want a one year extension to find an appropriate solution that can keep our great teachers and pre-school alive, and continue it, without having to scrap it and risk not see it come-back! (very hard to do as a project for parents on their own free time with no promise we can even get space / funding / licensing etc...when we need a pre-school that works while we are looking!) we would need Federal and / or provincial help down the line anyway, so they may as well help us now and avoid the massive headache and potential disruption of our children's education this is causing


...and all the racists come out of the woodwork. Nice job, WW. Civil comments, indeed.


Why are you accusing the "fake news" MSM as being alt-right.
After all, most of their "fake news" was about how great Hillary was and how she couldn't lose.

I've lived in Missouri, Mississippi and North Carolina.  My ex-wife and her siblings grew up in Jim Crow Arkansas.  Her late mother (rah'matullahi alayha--may God have Mercy on her) told me how it was during WWII, living in a town in which she and her family had FAR less rights than Nazi POW's quartered in camps outside that town.

In my own lifetime I've seen first-hand how easy it is for guys like this to utterly destroy peoples' lives and get clean away with it--because they had names like "Beauregard" and were descended from pampered, well-connected people who used to "own" the ancestors of those they still walk on today.  Lannatullahi alayhim alf-mura'at: God-d@mn them a thousands times.


It's sickening that Trudeau allows Canada to be exploited by a bogus refugee industry, yet he turns around and gores small businesses with new taxes and in doing so risks economic activity, job growth and even doctor capacity.
