I hate seeing people giving money to these people. Stop feeding the fire, people who don't help themselves are a lost cause. Your money is being used for drugs/alcohol and the person isn't really even poor.
Create energy generation locations for the poor to ride a bike or spin a hand crank so the can earn a honest dollar and give something back to the community.


Well, now we know what Reuters wants us to know.


AND THEY RELOCATED DOWN THE STREET.  This state is insane !


Never mind that Liberal politicians were quick to assert that the RCMP were investigating, when in fact they were not.

There's been political influence in this scandal from the very beginning, and Christy and the rest of her corrupt and incompetent gang should pay the price come election day.

They are rascals. I use peanut butter, but they lick the trip catch clean. What i find successful is using a whole almond meat. I dig a slot through it flat side and the slip it on the tripper, and that's been working good. And i glue it with peanut butter


Just in case anyone takes anything this poster says seriously, Captain Hazelwood was not on watch when the Exxon Valdez fetched up on Bligh Reef.   He did the responsible thing since he'd been drinking and went to bed, leaving the conn to a Mate.   Hazelwood just made a good scapegoat.


OS:  You state you live on a slice of heaven out in the country.  You have critters roaming about.

Your problem with motley is not with CRITTERS, its that he is RIGHT and YOU are WRONG..............


Not always. Sometimes it's just business.


"Leave Black Catholics out of it."

You are shifting the meaning of the metaphor. That metaphor has nothing to do with the color of one's skin, much less one's religion. "Brown priests" of Nazi Germany were black-hearted to compromise the Gospel as are Imams today in the Middle East who exploit the tensions there to attack everything about the West. Nancy is just as black-hearted, making sub-textually the sins and crimes of a few intrinsic to the faith-integrity of everyone in the church. Maybe a better metaphor for Nancy would have been "white-fanged" to best express the center and excess of her anger.
As for you -- Raymond J. Jirran, Ph.D. -- you need to go back to English 101 and attempt to acquire a literate knowledge of metaphor. A metaphor like an big onion should have successive peelings of meaning. Not one! No doubt when W. Stevens says "a man and a woman and blackbird are one" you conjure up images of miscegenation. Or think a black hole is some kind of black ghetto. Sad.


But he was OK with coal oil


This new comment format is a PITA and has to go.


Pretty sure that was aimed at Gregsask and his ridiculous notion that no one knows roughly how many people were there. on Friday.


this all done with tax credits by the feds and the provinces, look at the end credits for any movie these days and cgi is done in quebec with the help of tax credits, huge subsidies for these industries that will never get off the public teet


Nailed it ... almost:

"The Federal Bureau of Investigation on Friday said it was investigating newly discovered emails that might relate to Clinton's use of a private email server when she was secretary of state.

"The investigation will last for years. The trial will probably start," Trump told a rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan. "Nothing will get done.”

Parliament can do anything, if it has the will and the fortitude.  One small example:  the Harper Government attempted to amend the Supreme Court Act retroactively with respect to Justice Nadon.  The SCC did not say that a retroactive amendment was not permitted - it said that an amendment to the Supreme Court Act is tantamount to a Constitutional amendment and therefore required the consent of Parliament and the Provinces.  Amending the Citizenship Act is not a Constitutional amendment.

I don't say it would have been easy, not at all.  I do say, however, that it could have been done if Trudeau stood on reasonable principles.


Right you are but you left out the robots that operate the warehouses and soon the delivery system.


I look forward to the next parade when Idle Some More decides to blockade them.


Both Darrel Galera and Keith Hayashi are excellent options


it is wonderful to support the local community, it is wonderful to support and strengthen education, especially academics and it is wonderful to have sports to keeps us physically fit and to relieve stress. it is NOT wonderful to see how much money ,under the radar as far as public is concerned, is being dumped into the university athletic department.    i'm trying to do the math as to the $215 mil donated in in 2015 and how much 38% (percentage to athletics department)of that is. curious as to how much money went to athletics last year...  problem:   1) my dog has better mathematical skills than i , 2) is my calculator too old if doesn't have enough spaces to make the number 215,000,000. ?  38% of $215,000,000.00 must be ABOUT  $35,000,000.00.  !?!  ?    35 million dollars were donated to the athletic department in 2015?  what happened to it?  where did it go..what was it used for?  where in the ledgers does it get put?   35 mil would have paid for a heck of lot of education....


It says that when you run a race, you don't take anything for granted (ask Duke Bainum who was out celebrating his 'victory' the night before the 2004 election) and you better be all in. The fact that Djou didn't pay for polling means he wasn't serious about winning, and everyone that did give him money ought to be pissed. It is no surprise that the person who ran hardest won, that is usually how life works.


What, that one example in 2 million. Get a life and get real. In the real world in which I worked in this never ever happened


Conservatives hate truth (any doubt, check out the current pack of right-wing lapdogs that eagerly gobble up every falsehood spewed by the current GOP "leadership".)


The state Senate along with Governor Walker will not be satisfied until the dividend program is dead.


Let's go with your rabbit analogy Steve.

People committed to having rabbits. When they no longer wanted to be responsible for them they dumped them in Langley, or they let the rabbits escape. The rabbits then over populated, then became destructive, and the people who were responsible for the rabbits in the first place are nowhere to be found. The towns people then take sympathy on the rabbits and embrace/adopt them and even use them for promoting their quaint little town.  Then, those who once embraced/adopted the forgotten rabbits now complain of how destructive they have become and then beg the government to solve the problem.  Again, not taking responsibility for the consequences of their actions.

Langley cannot handle rabbits, why does anyone think they can handle anything more complicated?


About a month ago I would have agreed with you.  But now you have to ask yourself, why wasn't Sessions more forthcoming?  Or worse, what does Sessions have to hide?


Too much like counting angels on the head of the proverbial pin ...


What does that make Fox News and Breitbart? Or, Trump himself?


Time for a change in gov't, please use your vote to vote in a new gov't each vote is powerful and important.     Christy Clark and her cabinet use BC tax dollars for her, the BC Liberal party and their donors own ATM.   Example, in 2013 Clark sold BC citizen's land/crown land far 43 million below market value in Coquitlam to Westbild one of the BC Liberal parties donors.   The proceeds of the sale were used to balance the gov't books in 2013/2014, money was stolen/transferred from ICBC and BC Hydro coffers which is not meant for gov't spending as well to gov't treasuries this has been done every year by the career crook Clark.   ICBC/BC Hydro money belongs to BC Hydro/ICBC clients.    The BC Liberals regularly use BC taxdollars for their own ads they are in civil court over this, and they are being investigated for conflicts of interest/fraud.

Corruption must always be voted out in politics, including now.    Whatever your preference Green or NDP, but please vote.

The poll suggesting Murky Lisa is ahead is a real shame.  Joe Miller is the candidate who should get our vote.  He'll get mine.


You have a lot of history with cab drivers being ripped off?


the only solution is to name every school
Justin Trudeau.


The DNC, the Super Delegates and the Beltway Democrats chose Hillary.

See how well that worked out?


The difference is she is a practicing nurse. She is identifiable. If another doctor publicly slanders a doctor, they would sue, because this affects their ability to earn a living. They would also be disciplined by their regulating body.


You both are SICK FUCKS AND SHOULD ROT IN HELL.I HOPE YOU GUYS FEEL THE RAPE WRATH WHILE YOU TWO ARE IN PRISON AND IM SURE SOMEONE WILL VIOLATE YOU AS YOU TWO DID AGAINST INNOCENT CHILDREN .AND THE MAN IN THIS CASE SHOULD HAVE HIS PENUS AND BALLS REMOVED AND HIS HANDS CUT OFF AND HIS TONGE REMOVED AND FOR THE LADY ACTUALLY I CANT EVEN CALL THEM MAN / WOMEN YOU TWO ARE A WASTE OF HUMAN FLESH DISCUSTING .


The contract, the details of which have never been made public under both the Harper and Trudeau Govts would be the key here, no?

If our contract has stipulations about acceptable use (really having a hard time picturing this) then Canada could use this as a way to get out of further shipments.

IF there is no language in the contract to cancel, then we are asking a private Canadian company to cancel a contract that carried a Canadian Govt trade guarantee.    So compensation would be warranted both for the company as well as Saudi Arabia.     So we would be paying the company for not shipping orders and we would be paying Saudi Arabia for reneging on the contract (and they can use the payment to source elsewhere).     Net benefit - zero.

So unless there is contract language to cancel (and we, as taxpayers will likely never know) then the realpolitik solution is to learn from this and not repeat the mistake for any future contracts.


Great idea!  I was in California last week and saw this first hand.  Seems to work very well.


People generally fear what they don't understand.  They don't understand how devout religious believers can chop the heads off those they differ from, or how they can use children as sex slaves, or how they can mutilate young women in a barbaric manner, or how they can throw those with different sexual identities off rooftops.

Perhaps if can help them understand, the hatred would stop?


Actually, the police and, in particular, the media are regularly manipulated by various groups.


Then you do not know many people or are lying through your teeth. I live in Eagle River and work in town. I run into many, many more Trump supporters than Hillary Supporters, I run into a lot of Johnson supporters also. I get it, people that flock together vote similarly, but saying that you know no one voting for anything other than your own candidate is asinine.


I agree we should not "forget which party used the Klan as its militant wing to keep blacks from participating in elections (Democrats)."

Nor should we forget that our founding fathers, in spite of all their wisdom were slave owners. We should never forget the wrongs that were done, and we need to be certain we don't make the same mistakes again.

Our country has evolved since the days of slavery just as the Democratic Party has evolved and so has the Republican Party. Recent changes in the base of the GOP are very concerning to most Americans.

Political correctness to many Trump fans means not being able to be openly racist without repercussions. They want to take our country to a place its already been; when America wasn't so great.

You're certainly right about one thing MT907, we shouldn't forget.


And this, ladies and gentlemen, is exactly why you should never trust the government about anything. No matter what they tell you or promise, no matter what the say is the purpose, it will cause and allow abuse. And this is especially true of taxes and healthcare.


Maybe Dr. Suzuki can explain how my 50 year old beer fridge downstairs that is "built to last" is so uneconomical and environmentally worse than buying a new "disposable" fridge every 8-12 years.. I've heard quite a few hard luck stories of people buying a new fridge that only lasts that long and when a part needs replacement they're no longer carried and it makes more economic sense to buy a new unit.

It's a terrible waste endorsed by environmentalists.

The energy efficiency of a new fridge that is replaced that often isn't great enough to make economic sense let alone the "horrible" carbon trail to produce that many machines over that length of time


With Andersen out, the leafs have average goaltending at best (slightly below average is more accurate)...Some teams can overcome that and make do with average goaltending. But you need good to excellent defense (Like Chicago) or good to excellent back up goatending (like Ottawa) in order to accomplish that - of which the Leafs don't have in either case.

The Leafs need Andersen in goal to do anything substantial. I think they can most likely limp into the playoffs without him. But they need Andersen at or near his best to win consistently...I am thinking this injury is short term because he managed to finish the 1st period. He probably couldn't pass the protocol, so the team Doctor erred on the side of caution - once he's out, he can't come back in. (Fingers crossed he's back soon)

Very few in the US take NK seriously.  It is generally assumed that the US triad would prevent them from attacking.

But that viewpoint is going to prove to be catastrophic.  At the very least, NK will pass their WMD/ICBM technology on to Iran, Syria, Pakistan, Egypt and various African states -- e.g. Uganda & the DRC --with which they have done business for decades.  You can expect to see all of these tyrannical states become nuclear powers within the next decade.

Moreover, NK will use its capability to re-unite the Korean Peninsula under their rule.  No US president is going to sacrifice the US mainland to protect SK from NK invasion.

The US is in a lose-lose situation.  If the US does nothing, then NK and its numerous rogue allies will simply become more formidable and threatening to the West.

If the US exercises a military option, that will be a disaster.  At the very least, millions will be killed and wounded.  If the PRC enters the fray, then the US would lose (cont.)


Are we 'forgetting?' Do you not understand that Clark's problem is that memories of her cash-for-access and other corruption are very, very recent - as in 'ongoing'.
When the fox is  in the coop now,  you don't worry about last decade's fox.
BTW, $15K is peanuts - Clark has taken more than that in sealed envelopes in one evening's meeting.


Will her self-humiliation tour ever end?


This is a terrifying comment. Unless you are a lawyer, you will never understand the need for due process until YOU are accused of a crime


If you are paying your minimums on your credit cards you will have a fine credit score but you're still a financial moron.

Credit scores don't reflect how well people are managing their finances -- they reflect how well people are paying back debt. The people who manage their finances the best don't have debt, though....


The quiet zone is entirely for the benefit of the Obies and other downtown/EWEB property developers. One need look no further than who was given seats on the citizen committee that city staff used to pretend they were listening to the public to know who was behind this.

If it's going to be done, it should only involve the crossings on the east side of the station. Those can be done alone and can be funded with the riverfront renewal district (slush) fund. Spending an additional $4.5M to do the stops west of the station, where the residents mostly don't want it, would be hugely inappropriate. That money will come out of our general fund, so it will be felt in ever-diminishing services that we actually need like traffic law enforcement (those of you who don't walk or cycle may not notice, but it's getting quite deadly around here), fire and ambulance service, and even drug treatment. What a waste!


So your guns aren't making it more secure? There goes another argument in favor of guns.


What should happen is, whatever the difference between the PFD cap and what it would have been under the current regime, should be credited to everyone eligible for a PFD, is a ownership share / dividend share in Alaska LNatural Gas Line. 1 share for every $100 deferred, up to 100 shares in the STATE OWNED Alaska LNG Pipeline. 100 x $100 x 735,000 (rounded eligible residents) = $7,350,000,000.00.    Use these deferred dollars as pledge bond for the seed funding of the Alaska percentage owned interest in the ALNGP.


Grumpy and stir-crazy here!   ;)


And no one cares.  The baseball post-season doesn't reflect anything except competitive imbalance.


Who ever gave him the family me

All presidents have attempted to deal with North Korea.  Lots of talk, and sanctions, all of them.  What has Trump done to differentiate himself?  The little pip squeak is still there, tormenting him.


Kick those illegals to the curb
Mr. Trump, make sure they
go South, as with the useless
PMS Canadian leader, don't
let the snowflake force these
useless things on us.


I own a 44 magnum, a 338 rifle, and 3 shotguns. I am not anti-2nd Amendment. I just know that there are appropriate and inappropriate places to carry guns. Its easy to marginalize people, spouting groundless stereotypes, calling people names. Its harder to keep an open mind and consider the opposing person's perspective.


You must be joking. Ownership of such weapons was not common even 50 years ago.


Yup that is why it is so popular on campuses to demand sexual assault centers - it's part of shifting the process away from courts into a venue where serious penalties can be imposed without the need for actual proof as would be required in a court of law.


Worst yet, his approval ratings will be up next week simply because he managed to talk for an hour+ while sounding somewhat presidential. It's still a populist message in many ways and many of the things said are not practical. How is congress going to do all of these things without increasing the deficit?

Sorry buts he's been a raging lunatic for the last year and it's going to take a lot more then one argubely decent speech to convince me he's changed.


China has a greater historic claim to Tibet than the US has to Texas and California, which are actually part of Mexico. No one's giving anything up.

Also, the Canadian government should have learned by now that interfering in any of China's affairs only result in swift economic or political retaliation.


In terms of dollars, Canada is the fifth highest spender in NATO. Only the US, UK, France, Germany and Italy spend more. We spend almost as much as Israel which has a formidable military. Part of the problem is in how we actually use the money we have allocated for defense spending. Most other NATO members with smaller budgets get more bang for their buck.


Got any stock tips since you know the future so well?


Whether or not he could actually open the door, it is not a good idea to let some dipxxxx like that tamper with an airplane, especially while it its in flight. Wonder if he will make the "no fly" list. Good thing the plane didn't land in Alaska, after SB91 what he did is likely not to be a crime.


are citizens permitted to run for office and vote for whomever they want or not? Maybe at 21 trillion dollars in debt, the American public has determined that the political class is incompetent


Minimum wage - cont'd

Those who oppose a higher minimum wage assume that raising wages  forces employers out of business as costs rise.  But price is a function of demand, not cost.
.
The bigger question is whether gross inequality of bargaining power is, on the whole, allowing employers to extract non-competitive economic rents from their employees.  That is a much tougher question.
.
One of the big distortions of the labour market arises from the non-entitlement of part time and "casual" employees to full-time benefits.
.
This creates enormously perverse incentives, and effectively allows large users of part-time employment to slough the cost of social services on the rest of the economy. I.e., they are extracting a tax subsidy at the cost of every other taxpayer.
.
This can be solved by requiring that benefits be paid pro rata for part time employment.
.
Is that causing market distortion?
Or fixing market distortion?
.
Sometimes "market distortion" is in the eye of the beholder.


PS: apparently he didn't follow Clinton's example and inhaled...


we will be sorry.  hayashi would have been a much better pick.


The question for a Canadian newspaper is who really won the civil war, the North say they won but really, the GOP hatted Obama and everything he stood for. Maybe a more gradual transition over the past 200 years would have been better, maybe the south really did win over the new money, maybe Americans are being sold a bill of goods, look at the President today. One thing for sure who ever has the narrative gets to write and display history as they see fit, look at Russia and its invasion of the Ukraine. This people only became Russian because the deportation of the real people to Canada, of their systematic removal from this import food basin for Russia. In this case I think it was the South that won, Florida and Texas elected Trump, so that says it all. To bad really.


I agree.  Naive and delusional would be a better description.


No Kidding... How could that be??

Given the amount of censorship that seems to be taking place within this story's commenting thread... it is surprising you were able to state your opinion here..

Check the tuition for Ontario colleges and universities and get back to us.  For programs in CS or Engineering $27,000 is on the light end if one doesn't pay extra for a co-op program.

What about the Post Office building downtown. Joint use, city in the a.m. And the county in the afternoon. Saturday Market on Saturday. The Church of the Almighty Buck could use it on Sunday's.


He has the intelligence , leadership and good working ethics to build a successful farming businesses. Why didn't he utilized all these positive drives to become a citizen?  Why wait until he lost all legalized means for residency? It's sad when his deportation affects his family from staying together. He has no one to blame but himself!


LLucas - how were any of them held accountable?  It's true Del Mastro went to jail, but Harper pretended he didn't even know his former ethics top guy. Nigel Wright skipped free with no repercussions.  Harper's GST cuts put us in structural deficit .

I can't understand how Harperites can be so against Trudeau's globalism when that is what Harper was all about.  Signing trade deals, dragging our nation into every war going, demanding to take the lead in bombing Libya, posing against Putin and sending troops to Ukraine, signing the biggest arms deal in Canadian history with Saudi Arabia.

I get not liking globalism; pretending Harper was for ordinary Canadians and against globalism is simply not real.

You want to believe Trudeau is just nice hair, as Harper told you, but he is actually putting in place what he said he would.  And the media, including this paper relentlessly endorsed Harper like everyone else benefiting from Harper's corporate tax cuts- there's no L/liberal media.


Then why the seemingly panicky reactions now? The information posted will not change. Maybe because it would also be in one single database as well as state by state?


Who decides to "just close the Anchorage-Kenai road" on a busy weekend while thousands of cars stack up so that we can accurately diagram the accident scene?

If I slipped on the steps of APD or AST headquarters this winter, could we "lock down" the building and force just the relatively few officers to spend the night inside rather than go home while I painstakingly documented the ice and sanding situation? I would only inconvenience a few hundred (compared to a few THOUSAND) folks for about the same duration. How do you suppose APD/AST would respond to that?


RC Church remains stuck in his irrelevant theology; Augustine is dead, let's finally bury him . . . and his theology.


very true.  I was upgraded to FC only when my indigenous status was revealed and I was honored appropriately.  But in the main, they can't upgrade regular passengers.  FC symbolizes the income disparity and inequities in America.


No need to worry. China could imprison  Canadian journalists with impunity,  and the Liberal federal govrnment will kowtow to anything China wants.


I support every project that will improve quality of life for everyone. And as simple as it seems our vote will determine whether we travel by rail or bus. The rail is something new for the islands,  but it is a decades old norm for cities and countries throughout the world.
When we filter out the Grey matter it still comes down to rail or bus. Caldwell or Djo U.


Put forth three choices which would allow for consumers aka voters to pick which seems more practical for their needs.

=== ObamaCare which retains the health insurance industry  for those who fear the word Medicare or phrase Single Payer. Provide tax rebates to taxpayers.

=== Single Payer Medicare for ALL = excellent coverage for those who wish to enroll.  The absolute best choice on planet earth. This group does not need tax rebates because our taxes are working for we the taxpayers..

=== LAST BUT NOT LEAST ALLOW self financed health care for those able to do so BECAUSE this group does not want to spend tax dollars. Paying out of pocket is more efficient for this group. Offer a tax dollar rebate at the end of every year that would equal about what families would “payout” through taxes on Single Payer.

WE know that using the existing medicare template to service Medicare for All Single payer saves lots and lots of dollars over reinventing the wheel.

Let taxpayers approve this!


And when is lane county going to start building homes north of Eugene instead of south and west...for south and west of Eugene is a Magic Place..


The Democrats use Antifa like the Muslim community uses radicals. They turn a blind eye to it until it is pointed out to them, then they shrug, throw up their hands and complain there is  nothing they can do.


“The border is complicated, as far as building a physical wall,” Zinke said at an event held by the Public Lands Council, according to E&E News.

He went on to say, “The Rio Grande, what side of the river are you going to put the wall? We’re not going to put it on our side and cede the river to Mexico.

And we’re probably not going to put it in the middle of the river.”

Zinke’s answer to that problem was similar to Bannon treating the members of the Freedom Caucus like a child who can be ordered to comply with your wishes.

Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke proposed Tuesday that the U.S. build its border wall on Mexico’s side of the border.

Of course, there is that little problem of sovereignty to contend with!

 It was easily one of the most ridiculous things I’ve heard from Trump or any of his associates. I doubt that Mexico will respond any differently to that idea than the Freedom Caucus member did to Bannon.


Wow, way to blame the victim caught between two violent men.

Your question is too profound for me, so I'll skate around it. I think that we need a full-fledged contemporary Francis. Our version is a partial, a transition; the best we could hope for at the moment. I wonder, if the original Francis had opted for "ordination" whether he would have included Clare with him?
The church has an absolute need for a transitional mode of collective discernment, unfettered by anything except a) Faith that Jesus represents an ontological change, an "evolutionary" elevation of creation into a relationship with God - whether new or restored is irrelevant. b)That humanity is in some kind of relationship that is "co-custodial" of creation. c) That Jesus is a thinker, teacher in the line of civilizational greats who takes us beyond  our "ought", beyond knowledge to wisdom; takes us beyond the "to be" and do "the good" to a vocational calling to do and be more (e.g.,beatitudes and Cor.I,13); from the mutuality of interdependence to the "unitification" of love.


That is a correct statement, this guys a joke!

Blame the ACLU for that. They got the mental illness institutions shut down. Yes, there may have been a few bad eggs running those places, but now its even worse since the only place to put them is in jail.  You can no longer take someone to an institution for help against their will. Regardless of their state of mind.


I like what former speaker of the House Tip O'Neal once said, "All politics is local."  That means the big guy has to answer to the little guy no matter how one slices it.  Levels of government have to work together to take care of its people.  Last time I looked, we're not a robot dependent society yet.  Name a few state departments that overlap.


Illegal abortion in Poland is like in Ireland. It doesn't save any lives. It just makes women travel to Germany or England. Free demagoguery for right-wing zealots.


Jesus was a  liberal - he believed in individual autonomy, equality in the eyes of the law, the need for one to actively seek salvation rather than getting it as virtue (clearly un-socialist), and compassion for your fellow citizens. He also fought against the political establishment who owned and controlled everything from information to production. Every time I hear or read someone say Jesus was socialist, I shudder that people do not understand what socialism even is, and clamor for socialism in the same sentence they complain about the government. Albert Einstein may have claimed to be a socialist, but he also fled the only socialist country he ever lived in. Socialism = full government control of production and capital. Everything else is negotiable (such as Nazi racism). Liberalism = autonomy, free markets, rule of law; else negotiable. 99% of conservatives are still liberals in the broader definition of the word (though DT threatens that). Socialism ≠ social justice.


It's a truism that history is better written 50 years or more after the facts. In this particular case a poll is worth about as much as a pile.


"The Oregon Legislature appears unlikely to pass a bill that would conceal the name of the officer who fatally shot LaVoy Finicum." Thank God the Legislature did the right thing.  Some states are trying to pass this kind of legislation that I believe can lead to a secret police force.  Public has to know the officers name and their record on the job in order to keep things honest.


Calm down, columnists. Such hysterics. 3 mill more voted for H.C. despite her flaws. Trump will change things, a lot, but the Dems will then roar back and ride change too (they better change, to help out the little guy more)--but with a decent candidate this time who will enjoy the support  of all those H.C. supporters plus the easily disaffected, swing voters who protested via Trump. And hopefully when it's a little more clear to people that it's Washington AND greedy rich people who cause working class woes, we can get some proper centrist control of corporate juggernauts. In the meantime, the world will adapt to Trump, play the waiting game where it can, he will self-destruct in 100 ways to Friday (soooo many scandals and broken promises are coming), and in 4 years there will be media courses taught on the subject of overreaction and the Dems will be back in. They better get it right this time.


What's wrong with taking at least baby steps to end the evil drug war?


Biblical prophecy certainly is interesting in connection with what we are seeing. Much of it is incomprehensible to me, but the parts about the earth are easy to understand and are scary right-on.  Some of the best is actually from the old testament, and I quoted some of it recently. Hosea says that there will be mass die-offs, including beasts of the field, the birds in the sky, and even the fishes of the sea will die. Daniel has a fascinating prophecy that says that knowledge will increase, and the people will be highly mobile. Certainly that is the case of our era, something that began not that long ago and is in stark contrast to the rest of human history. The trees will burn, the oceans will die, and people will be terrified of the storms. There will be stark increases in earthquakes and war.

I came to my conclusions through science that the earth has been dealt a fatal blow, but when I read biblical prophecy I thought my hair would catch fire, it was so uncanny.

Conversely, if he had hung out in forums for Antifa and BLM looking for the same signs of ignorance (means lack of knowledge), he would have found you.


This reads like a well considered and informed critique.

Though it's far from a rave, it's so intelligent that I may just go see the performance.


yes, of course!  Pay check stubs, tax returns, assets, retirement accounts, proof of money in bank, and any help from an agency or your family.  Those aren't a "CLAIM"--they are proof of income to meet the expamded FPL.  Get facts--it makes you appear informed!


Nice try but no one cares what you have to say.  There is nothing you can say to change the fact that the civilized world will eliminate this savage stone age ideology one way or another.


I agree.  This wasn't Diaz at all.  This season has been a ton of fun so far, but we still get to worry.  And what's been bothering me a bit all along is the situational hitting when they're behind or tied.  The RISP stats might look good, but these are inflated by run padding.  Sure, they've faced some tough pitchers, but this isn't an ordinary lineup.  Heck, Wolters has the highest OBP on the team!

As for Chatty, not that Black needs my sage advice, but I think he needs to be on a shorter leash until Gray gets going or Hoffman gets pulled in.  With Marquez and the toddler twins, they seem to thrive on pitching to the point of extinction and then quietly getting out of it.  Chatwood goes into a mental tailspin.


He said things along these lines  more than once during the campaign but it is clearly laid out in "Full text of Rosemary Barton's interview with Stephen Harper", October 6, 2015. (There is no mention of the debt-to-GDP ratio in the interview.) Rosemary "Anyone But Harper" Barton takes the Liberal promise to run deficits only for three years as an article of faith. Harper replies, accurately as it now appears, that running multiple deficits when the economy is growing is a formula for perpetual deficits.


in reference to our joining the suit -  i can only quote the Tom Jones lyric phrase in light of our recent past history from the AG's office, "IT'S NOT UNUSUAL......"!


He was not duly elected. Comey was in trump's pocket and Trump was in cahoots with the Russians. The Russians interfered by hacking the dems website and and then Comey did his assigned job.

The American people are the victims of the biggest fraud in history. Trump is a grifter, a degenerate cheat and this ain't over Rexy.


No, the OP said being homeless and addicted are not crimes.

She was not a drug user at the time of the incident.  She started using after the assault, and she stopped in the weeks before the hearing.  That was corroborated by evidence at trial.

The ends doesn't justify the means.  The fact that she was able to testify after she was rested and fed doesn't mean she needed to be jailed to be rested and fed.  She could have gone to her mother's house or a hotel under police supervision, as she volunteered to do, with the same result.  That would have been a reasonable solution.

No reasonable person wants a dangerous offender on the street.  My objection to her treatment is that she was jailed for 5 days illegally.  They didn't even bother to serve her with a subpoena.  She was voluntarily cooperating with police and had attended the trial, ie, had not defied any court order and there was no evidence that she was at risk of flight.  It seems she was jailed just for being homeless.


There are thousands of married priests at this very moment. The only thing stopping them from ministering is ignorance.


If Brulte wants to disrupt the Dem controlled CA state government, he should start by getting the Rep legislators to stop collaborating with the Dems.  The Dems passed three tax increases this year with Rep votes.  If all Reps had voted NO, the tax increases would have failed.


NBC has had ZERO credibility for decades, so if it's possible to sink into negative credibility  it would have to apply  to NBC.


Josh will figure that out after their first offensive play.


Stupid people and their expensive toys.  As am Apple stockholder I say, "thank you, suckers!!!"


Racism is made up liberal buzz word.  A majority sovereign monolithic country cannot be racist.  It is always in their best interest to keep a majority.  Just ask all of our enemies!  Tell them about racism and you get a firing squad!


So calling me "Don" isn't a compliment?  Fine.    If you prefer to not be called "Gomer", I prefer to not be called "Don". Howzat?


"Objectively, it's hardly taking sides to be opposed to a foreign nation undermining democracy"

I look forward to reading your comments the next time the US gets itself involved in the democratic processes of a foreign country, such as Germany (taps on Merkel's phone for example, or the taps on Brazilian politicians during their last election) .


No no, the Great Trump will bring back the jobs!  Because he said so!


That is 122, for unwed mothers. 121 mandates cash for families. Read it your self and abandon your heresy.


American companies don't pay their taxes by hiding their monies in offshore tax havens. Trump is a part of that same culture. You would have to be a fool to believe he would be some sort of saviour to poor, working-class people.


DACA has caused unknown harm or death to those who trekked thru the Mexican wilderness, causing many to die from exposure, kidnapping, rape or sale into sexual slavery.

The only person to blame is Barack "Pen and Phone" Obama. By his UNCONSTITUTIONAL act, as many as 800,000 have given over to the Federal Gov't their proof that they aren't US citizens, who are now tracked by said gov't. He also signaled to those below our southern border to risk their lives to come here. He even stated that he does not have the authority, but that it rests with Congress to change immigration law. It is now up to congress to fix it or have them deported. They have 6 months.

Here's a compromise. Given Dreamers protection in return for a wall to be built first. Both sides get what they want.


IPPs were another BC Liberal failure.


There was a time when merit and experience were the key requisites for advancement , but of course that is all gone under the banner of diversity, or as I like to refer to it designed society for liberals by Liberals. There was never any question that universities were going down this road, as the feds were holding a gun to their heads in the form of denied funding if they don't fall into line. Prescribed beliefs and adherence to those beliefs are the stuff of societies that are not democratic in nature, and so these moves by the current government tend to grate more then a little.


Disagree.  State employees don't "deserve" anything.  In particular, 50% of them don't deserve jobs when the money that used to be available to pay them is gone.  You don't here the thousands of folks laid off from the oil industry crying that they "deserve" their jobs.  Wake up to the economics, and send out the pink slips!


"When Adam Schiff (D, CA 28th) was pressed about evidence of a crime, he had to admit that there wasn't any."
.
No, that's not correct. What he has said, when asked about something specific, is that he has not seen that evidence. That does not mean there is no evidence.
There is obviously evidence or there would not be two grand juries and now a search warrant served.


Jack cheer for % change in Canada sales, not me.


The puerile President picked a Palooka, then threw him under the bus. He's so smart he didn't/doesn't even feel the puppet strings pulled by his Ruskie masters. Throwing Manafort under the bus like Lewendowski demonstrates his sense of one-way loyalty, Will he be throwing his supporters – and the rest of America, under the bus too? Curious minds want to know, is this how he's going to make America great? Or just grate?


Nice deflection headline by the Globe. It should read "Liberal government" or "Trudeau" deficit. I doubt the city of Ottawa ran that deficit but we don't want to critisize Supreme Leader Trudeau.


No, actually, we are paying the Americans to take it off our hands.


You are one of the most awful people I have seen on these pages.  And that is saying a lot.  You seem to have zero capacity to empathize with people who are not in your situation.   Do you never step out of your car? You seem to think you're invulnerable.  Oh and by the way, if everyone in Toronto drove around then you would never be able to get to work.  The number of people in cars would literally double from what it is now.


A few thoughts:
Democrats have been running Denver for decades. If their ideas and policies were effective, why the high cost of housing now? Did they fail to plan?

I think the Democrats running Denver secretly LOVE high housing prices because it brings in more tax revenue.

Instead of the same old rob Peter to pay Paul tactics that Democrats always resort to for affordable housing, do you think Democrats would ever consider freezing homeowner taxes so that they don't rise with the value of the home, and this would be a way to keep housing more affordable?


Regardless the viability of the rail project, everyone should agree that the city administration, having promised originally "on time and on budget", and then "we won't be back to the legislature again", has now shown they simply are in over their heads, again. Either the state government takes responsibility for the project, or they need to cut off the additional revenue and let the city own up to its problem.

To me, the real long term problem is that the city has no viable plan for operating the train; the only thing worse than not completing the project would be to build it and then have it sit idle because we can't afford to run it on current revenues, or that hundreds of millions of additional dollars would continued to be drained from the local economy to run a train that only a small number of people will eventually use.

Isn't it overdue to question the technology, route, operations, and ridership assumptions along with the cost of this project?


Her name is Stephanie Lopez. Not Maria Rosa Campos-Lopez. I'm guessing she was born here legally?


It's a humorous way for overly sensitive types on the right to criticize overly sensitive types on the left.  I think the term snowflake is perfectly applicable to the poster in question, being as snowflakes are devoid of intelligence.


Another one of those gun nutz that is sooo concerned about gun minutiae. I can imagine what the response would have been if the weapon was described as an 'assault rifle' - another tape loop recording about trigger group details that I've heard a thousand times.


What is 'socialism' then, J.B.?
Start with the root word - 'social'.
From there, the definition of 'anti-social'.
Let's cut to the chase here.


since when?


This is a non-story. Given the lack of delivery infrastructure, the economics weren't there at $100 oil (nevermind $50)  No one is going to develop offshore hydrocarbons in Canada's Arctic any time soon.


Repubes should be more than ashamed.


The problem with Groundup pronouncements is that they act as both judge and jury regarding fact and myth! .... I say this as a general overview statement on their articles in DM, not one in particular.


Would you be happy to have your family's security held at the whim of Ankara, Tehran, Baghdad or even Damascus? Didn't think so... So why should that situation be fine for Kurdish people?


In your opinion.  Voucher money is much bigger than that narrow view that you have because of your filter.  And you never want to talk about choice and competition in education because your filter only let through "how can the state educate."


And yet, as has been pointed out, none of the 9/11 terrorists came from countries on Trump's ban list. Kindly explain that one, won't you?


Einstein is also reputed to have stated that he thought the Universe and human stupidity were infinite, and he wasn't so sure about the Universe.


The process of electoral reform has been sandbagged repeatedly by the vested interests that benefit from a disenfranchised electorate.

Both reform efforts in Ontario and in B.C. were swept under the carpet and sprung on unsuspecting electorates to face near certain defeat as political orphans in obscure election-day add ons.

Canadians are the losers here in a system where 39 per cent of the vote gives absolute power to one party while the majority get no voice.


People from nations with a more mature constitutional relationship often remind us that the purpose of a constitution is to protect the citizenry from government.
That sentiment was evidently not gathering traction 35 years ago among those who left us with the Charter.


Funny, I live downtown as well and have seen little to no change.  Still the same people hanging around on sidewalks, with dogs to boot. The ban was, is, and will continue to be a ridiculous bandaid that fails to deal with the actual problem,


Damn tough call.


That's an outright lie.  But it's not surprising that a man would say something stupid like that.


Was he saying "god is great' in arabic? Looks like the violent, deranged attacks lately (when the code phrase isn't yelled) have 'progressive' as a common factor. This viscous, unprovoked and potentially deadly assault was from someone with easy access to potent drugs - is there a toxicology test on the perpetrator?


The whole purpose of people who talk about cults is to create fear and loathing toward a particular group of people and to pass judgment on the "group" they belong to. It may be religious, racial, gender, sexual orientation, or whatever. But the purpose is the same. It's called "othering."  The purpose is to have people pass judgment on individuals based on their ethnicity, religion, race, etc.  It's the foundation of bigotry and hatred. It's the opposite of respect and aloha and doesn’t belong in Hawaii.


"Baby Driver" already done.   Too bad.


Your understanding is incorrect, nice try though.


Fair does. You're not a troll. Anybody that thinks The Chump is anything more than an absolute moron is one themselves.


"No mandate, little love and a lot of mistrust": no, it's worse than that. Mr. Trump is a menace to liberty, with none of the learning and reflective thought necessary to do the job well, to prevent him from acting on hunches, prejudices, and paranoid reaction.


Fascism and Socio-Communism are both LEFT. There were ALL Socialists you fools. Even the idiots that call themselves Neo-Nazis and White Supremacists don't get this. All the bloody mess and murder of tens of millions of human beings was from the brain dead ideology of the LEFT. The only people who ever truly stood in the way of Leftist Fasio-Communism were in effect those who represent people with common sense. They are neither LEFT OR RIGHT. The Left have nothing to offer. They use the old MGB, GRU, NKVD, OGPU, KGB tactics of social division to conquer. In fact most idiots posting on here dont ever realize that most slave holders were DEMOCRATS. Most politicians advocating slave ownership and the quelling of real minority rights ( being women and blacks) were DEMOCRATS. George Wallace was a DEMOCRAT you morons. Bill and Hilary Clinton even endorsed Senators and Congressmen with ties to the KKK. Abraham Lincoln was a REPUBLICAN. Those who voted down slavery in the US were majority REPU


$300 in total receipts in 2015 and $310 in 2016.  I don't think it's Gubmint over-regulation destroying this particular business.


The 2008 financial crash was so much fun that Donald Trump wants us to go through it again.
And you have to wonder if the so-called "working class" voters who supported Trump really want him to allow the banks to make even bigger profits off the rest of us? The whole Tea Party movement arose out of fury at financial crash caused by the Wall Street banks, and now Trump is just giving Wall Street what it wants.


Greenbelt

looks nice but
to build more houses you need more land

so some of  the greenbelt that surrounds Toronto needs to be used for housing
you need a  supply of land to meet the demand or prices will go up

Greenbelt benefits only those who already have houses
those who silently wish prices do not go down


I REALLY like Andrew Scheer, but I have a mental block about having the ex-Speaker shifting back away from official neutrality to partisanship again.  I kind of like the UK method where you leave your party behind for good when you become Speaker.


Greetings.....Blessings to Holy Father Francis for his wise use of discernment combined with mercy  to bring forth the new evangelism so needed in a Church stagnated by doctrine!

She defended him in the sense that what he had done at the time, sexting with a consenting adult (and different than sexting he did with a minor that got him thrown in jail ) , wasn't any more scandalous that what Republicans routinely do in office : Lets see David Vitter caught with prostitutes, Danny Hastert a former child molester...the list goes on and on. She was saying that Democrats should stop being such wusses and immediately attacking their own.


Failure to plan. No satellite phone, Emergency Beacon  (GMDSS) or (SEND) on board.
Yes, these two were clearly in the path of the SS Minnow.

I dunno --- maybe all that retardant makes the wildlife retarded?

Seriously, though, that is a good question.  It would be interesting to know exactly what chemicals are in that fire retardant, and how long they tend to persist in the environment.  Let's just hope that Roundup is not a constituent of the mix!  Knowing the perfidious and outright evil nature of many giant corporations nowadays, I wouldn't be surprised if they somehow managed to sneak some particularly nasty chemicals into such mixtures.

I am in complete agreement Richard. I assume you know how rare that is?
We don't need to be censored or kept civil especially by a computer. It is just electrons and no one need pay attention to a disagreeable comment. I want to know what people had to say not what they or a machine thought should play.
I have my annual renewal in hand for the print edition. I am renewing for 8 weeks only. I am letting ADN know that If they don't cancel the Bot and stop censoring all our comments, I will have no further use for the print ADN after that. That isn't entirely correct but  I already have years worth of the comic section set aside. It is the only part of the paper suitable to my bird's sensibilities and all he cares for in it. If I feel like having my sensibilities offended by the CivilBot I can log on free.

Since the records that have been disclosed indicate the foundation received most of its funds from anyone but Trump it about time.  However, ending of the foundation will not stop the investigations into the use of the funds by the State of New York or the IRS.  YOU CAN RUN BUT YOU CAN NOT HIDE DONNY! Next he will give the life size cut out he bought with foundation funds to some museum and claim a million dollar donation of art using another set of IRS loopholes.


We do not live in a depression. Youth have been coddled by many boomer parents. Participation ribbons instead of inspiring a competitive nature. Easy for young people to lament (and their parents also, who wish to create excuses to make them feel less guilty) about how tough things are. To be employable you must differentiate yourself and stand out from the crowd....not wallow in generational self pity. And your comment about staying out of the discussion is a typical left wing drone, attempting to drown out any thoughts which differ from your own pseudo intellectual position. Shame on you and others who create excuses instead of inspiring creative problem solving and personal ambition. You do the under employed youth no good by pandering to their lament.


When does one realize it's you, not everyone else, that's the problem?  What's the tipping point for it?  And how long do your daughter and Jewish son-in-law just sit there while you justify Nazi ideology before they finally say, "Sorry, Pops, with all due respect, you gave it a good run, you proved you could do it, with some very minor help of Russian Trolls, massive data manipulation ideas robbed instead of from the headlines like most of your ideas, from the latest season of 'Homeland',  and the dissillusioned alt right + other deplorables — people got mad when Hillary called it, but looks like, she was right after all and don't retweet that by mistake — but time to just resign and go quietly back to your day job.  No one will blame you.  Everyone will understand.  Being the President of the US is not a good fit for you.  It's actually not a job, it's a calling, and it's just not who you are, no matter what a Simpson's episode predicted."


So, trump thinks $2.4 million to $8.4 million represents "tremendous medical costs"?  Then what does he consider the $84 million the military spends on erectile dysfunction medication???  Or how about the $3.6 million spent on each government-funded golf trip he has taken???  Money well spent?  I think not.  I'm betting this is all just an attempt to distract from the russia investigation, the medical care issue, and all the other disasters facing the white house.


My comment got removed for what?  Pointing out that our legal system let out a man that beheaded another man being a sign of our system's liberal insanity?  Well it's true: WEAR IT. The man is guilty and should either be dead or in jail.  Anything else is absolute quackery that is going to cost more Canadians their lives.

"The Vatican has not become a mediator in either Ukrainian or Syrian disputes." The pope will not stick his neck out here.
The rapprochement between Cuba and the US was initiated as soon as Obama became president. He began by easing some trade and travel restrictions in 2009. Negotiations between the two countries ensued.  Even the pope said, “[Rapprochement] was the goodwill of the two countries, and the merit is theirs, the merit is theirs for doing this. We did hardly anything.”
Pope Francis refused multiple requests for his participation or presence during the Colombian peace process. In October 2016, the pope said: “I have said that when the peace process [in Colombia]… if it succeeds, I would like to go, when everything is ‘airtight.’


Reading it is like being on some sort of acid trip without actually doing acid.  The main stream media is in full out panic mode, they no longer control the narrative.   Sit back and enjoy.


You are aware of the Canada Child Benefit are you not?


none of that is true -


So these millions of voters that are too poor to drive, cannot drive, don't have time / money to get photo ID - also is not bothered about collecting welfare, opening a bank account, getting a job, buying alcohol, getting a phone etc, etc? Plenty of government programs, including in Blue States, designed for the poorest of the poor - require photo ID.

Again, this is just repeating the dumb nonsense your hear from Ds, media generated "common sense" talking points, celebrities and comedians...


Trump should not have rescinded DACA. He should have just changed the old DACA to a new DACA. New DACA being Deportation Action for Criminal Aliens!

And you think we should add to that debt?

I only did a quick Google search referencing 2015 atricles and there could be some items Harper wasn't able to procure.

Bart that is one more reason for Alberta to feel like they shouldn't be supporting Ottawa and Quebec. Alberta and Donald use your Trump card and make the same offer to the Atlantic provinces and probably B.C as well.


Robin Danner's response claiming that Bob Lindsey's style is to "discuss, agree and disagree on the substance of issues" and "foster aloha in our behavior to tackle issues" is laughable.  All we need to do is to review Danner and Lindsey's record in their dealings on issues important to Hawaiians to see what their real deal is.
When it came  to the DOI Rule, Danner and her OHA supporters including Bob Lindsey, negotiated its substance behind closed doors for years at the expense of the OHA beneficiary trust.  It was all accomplished behind closed Washington DC doors without the knowledge or consent of the Hawaiian people.  When it finally became public, it created political upheaval and turmoil in every community that hosted a DOI Hearing. When polled by OHA itself, Beneficiaries soundly rejected Lindsey and Danners ongoing effort to create a State/Nation.  As of this date Danner and Lindsey can not account for every penny spent on the State/Nation effort.


What you ask is impossible. Not to mention that Trump more or less accelerated N. Korea's progress by threatening to blow up 25 million people in front of the U.N. council.

Remember this. The Arctic Ocean has not been ice free for 2.5 million years. The only Arctic Ocean we have even known as humans had a layer of ice keeping it flat when the wind howls. With no ice this ocean will get swells. Really big wind driven swells and they will severely erode  all of the surrounding shores which we have see in only small ways so far. Of course the sea level will be much higher too. It will become the most dangerous and destructive ocean on the planet. So when the last bear dies so does Prudoe Bay.

Doing everything right cant compete with chemicals in water,  genetically altered foods, air and land toxins. Money, money, money.

Bill:
As I stated previously, the "top two" primary could result in two candidates in the General Election from the same party.  From Ballotpedia:  "A top-two primary is a type of primary election in which all candidates are listed on the same primary ballot. The top two vote-getters, regardless of their partisan affiliations, advance to the general election. Consequently, it is possible for two candidates belonging to the same political party to win in a top-two primary and face off in the general election.[1][2]"https://ballotpedia.org/Top-two_primary

An incumbent who runs second in the primary usually loses the run-off. The incumbent has run three times state wide and been elected twice. McConnell and Rove spent millions trashing Mo Brooks. The incumbent had Trump's endorsement, Trump's robocall and the Trump's PAC doing voter turnout. Mo Brooks has never run state wide and is not well known south of Cullman.  He still managed to get about 20% of the vote, in spite of all the negative ads Rove and McConnell paid for with lobbyist money. Roy Moore has a strong base of support. They will come to the polls to vote in the run off. Most of his voters are Trump supporters. Luther is a weak candidate. This author is clueless and delusional. Trump is strong here in Alabama. McConnell and Rove are not. Luther is McConnell's candidate and we know it. Getting his vote out and picking up enough votes to beat Roy Moore will be very difficult.

Yes, it's an important book for many reasons.  It's extremely well-researched and annotated almost to the point of tedium -- except, of course, that the documentation is essential for credibility.  We need a similar book to give us a fuller picture than we have now about Pope Pius XII.  Pope Francis should act immediately to make all of the relevant archival material available to historians and researchers.
The religious leaders of our day, especially in the United States, would do well to remember that a future generation of historians will study the resurgence of Nazism, fascism and racism under Donald Trump. A good exercise for them would be to write the chapter they hope will be written about them.  History will ask: Where were you, what did you say and do, to stand against the reemergence of fascism?


Non-stop and daily flights, great! It’s like gift from American Airlines to travelers. You can book tickets for this route with Voyages Booth.


Did you read the letter? He has no problem with gender equity, unless it means trying to force a 50-50 gender distribution through drastic means, that would not happen otherwise for natural reasons, i.e. that more men than women are interested in those jobs.


[Those living on the base pay no property taxes]

Hence, Federal Impact Aid. Been around for decades. This is an OLD, tired, worn "factoid", NOT a relevant fact, for reasons I have already stated above (and which you just wanna' ignore).

[The "in lieu" payments are less than what is spent per student.]

Again, you are just ignoring that K-12 per-student funding is shared by local, state and Federal entities.

What you have grasped upon for dear life in this attempt to close the OLFare  old, tired, worn facts that are actually "factoids" and NOT relevant facts of any merit.


I am not speaking of tourists and people that come to the USA legally. I am talking about gaming the system with anchor babies.

Mexico people do this probably twice or three times as much. It ALL really needs to STOP.


So you are saying Trump does not mean what he says, and what he does is always the right thing.   No one is judging Trump by interpretation of his words, but by his actions.  Repetition of his contempt for the media, shutting out any reporters who don't pander to him, are actions contrary to democracy.  His words and actions show he wants to convince us not to listen to any media he doesn't agree with.  How will you judge policy if you aren't allowed to know what it is?


"Some" Catholics seem not to care, I would suggest.


Is thiswhat you mean...when I see an "important" Catholic Mass being televised and note how the clergy always merge in the front of the church and how there are precious few women involved in this liturgy, then I am turned off by the organizational Catholic Church.  But when I am in my parish and surrounded by caring people (particularly women who are doing the work of the scarce deacons and priests) then I am" at home" in a community and feeling a divine presence.


This is a great article, well written and based upon an entire year of observation.  Of course that is why the libs hate it and why the Denver Pravda won't print it.  http://nypost.com/2017/10/21/the-other-half-of-america-that-the-liberal-media-doesnt-cover/
Of course libs on here won't read it because it just might enlighten them.


ICE chief's statement says its annual budget will be $7.9 billion, including "$4.9 billion to expand detention capacity." Do we really want to pay that much money to detain people, most of them productive members of society who start businesses, pick our crops, mow our lawns, etc.? What happened to small government?


All three final Presidential candidates were 70 plus.

We were going to risk that age degeneration no matter which one was elected.

At least there were no videos of physical disability on either Sanders or Trump like we had of Hillary.


For someone who claims expertise in international relations, you seem to be missing the obvious when it comes to the deployment of the Iskander. The country that's most concerned with the Kaliningrad build up is Poland. Perhaps no country has had a more painful experience dealing with Russia than Poland. It's why they just bought $5 Billion worth of Patriot missiles and they are spending up to $62 Billion modernizing their armed forces. Like the Baltic States, they have close relations with Ukraine.  Like the Baltic States and Ukraine, they have learned the hard way not to trust the Russians.


Not sure about today, but back in the seventies (UNEF 2) the pills were dispensed by the wait staff (locals) with your evening meal on Mondays. Can't remember how they ensured that everyone took one (and no more) but I believe it was fear tactics - malaria is a scary prospect.


You know over the years I have spent too many dollars and too much time finding and fixing the electrical problems in cars I have owned. To think that EV's will negate that situation is pipe dreaming, like our PM, from the land of unicorns and rainbows.


That is his name, I heard the POS say so .

Good column, evidence based .  Competitiveness and innovation in every field need fresh perspective sna dieas. That is how we will compete and we become a place where the brightest and best want to come to because we show compassion and are welcoming.

Bottom line is that they are unelected and unaccountable. Abolition is too good for them. They are essentially Liberal party lapdogs which is a proxy for corruption.


Patriarchy amounts to discrimination on the basis of sex. Tell us why you think such discrimination is good, Trid.


Vancouver is a great metropolitan city. Some of the newer immigrants from China are not assimilating into the Canadian culture as well because the Canadian government chose to give wealthy immigrants the priority to become citizens under the Canadian immigrant investor program versus those that would actually contribute and work in society instead retire here after 5 years.

If you were referring to the whole housing mess then go blame the Canadian government on their lax rules and inability to put Canadians first. CRA doesn't have a clue who has been flipping houses and claiming principal residence exemptions the whole way because no one from Land Titles office (at least in BC) is telling them. Realtors governing themselves has also been another debacle of the government's hands off approach to that "profession".


And I'm tired of being libeled. People are tired of you two, as well.


a new federal sales tax? a no in case you missed it the congress is controlled by the GOP, that will not happen.  our taxes are too high PERIOD,, we all pay far too much in taxes with an over bloated government at all levels, we can slash and still provide basic safety nets bud.  and its not business that failed, its the government that creates bad policies that do not allow business to succeed. , and as for your dollar claim well that is bs too, our low dollar has NOT seen some magic boost in our economy... you need to get educated over this usual left wing drivel you live in.. its time for government to get out of the way and reduce the burdens so businesses can prosper


Like Jack's kid in the Jack in the Box commercial.


IMF deal in 19th Century Economic 'Theory' not 21st Century reality.  Throwing more people into the work-force when there's a huge lack of decent jobs, even rotten jobs, just makes everything worse.


Maybe if the media and the libs( same) were fair to the President, he would be fair to the media.
It is a disgrace how you so called media idiots have treated this President.
So, he has every right to get his own message out to the real American people.
You, the media are a joke. People don't even believe, nor listen, or watch your shows anymore.


Fun and games with goPro at $100,000+ salary!


"Albeit a police officer on the BIG ISLAND at the time..." He killed his ex wife in a domestic type incident, which isn't any less heinous, but he didn't maliciously kill someone under his color or authority, and he was probably convicted and is in jail for it. I guarantee he isn't still employed as a police officer. What's your point??
Bryant said, "hpd HAS these officers" as if to insinuate HPD harbors malicious killers and other criminals. NO THEY DONT. Get real!
Have some faith in your professional law enforcement officers who are selflessly serving your community.


Soon, a Conservative government will govern Canada and try to make deals with China. They will be supported by Conservatives and attacked by Liberals.

Soon after that, a Liberal government will govern Canada and try to make deals with China. They will be supported by Liberals and attacked by Conservatives.

You know I'm right.


No Richard, guns are inanimate objects that have nothing to do with health. Turnips are vegetables which are good for you.


I'm the lone voice here; I couldn't bear Maclean's laconic drawl delivery style. As much as I'd try, I had to turn him off pretty quickly. My loss, people will say. Guess I'll have to read the books to find out what all the fuss is about, though the voice will undoubtedly haunt them anyway.


Russia had a nuclear bomb parked on Cuba that they threatened to use on American soil. Let's start with that.


The Titan of the industry of politics is Clinton.  The Titan of the industry of business is Trump.  Both squared off in a no-holds-barred, fight to the finish, winner-take-all battle.  The only thing each overbearingly arrogant super-Titan shared in common was in their being merely pedestrian in their opponent's industry.   Trump, admittedly proud as an "outsider," won entry to Clinton's industry leaving his homefield to change her's.  If Clinton had entered Trump's venue and remained an incorrigible arrogant politician expecting substantive returns in exchange for hot air political tokens, Trump would have decimated her.  So, what makes Trump think that he can enter Clinton's cutthroat political venue without material changes to his kingly big-business nature?  If he doesn't morph into a "never as seen before" effective politico-business animal, Clinton will decimate him just as he could have done had an incorrigible Clinton walked onto his homefield.


How are we doing with the voter fraud investigation?

What is government doing about the sea level rise. We are past arguing the cause. The reality is here, seas will be 3 feet higher in 50 years or something like that. Don't we need to be planning to rebuild, relocate, reconstruct sewage treatment plants, power plants, roads, airports, housing, parks, hotels?


It will be very sad but also a little fun to watch the entitled twerps known as millenials adjust to a leaner world.  Probably not as bad as 80 years ago but one never knows.


I don't think anyone is necessarily beating up on Reaves.  Just correctly questioning a 60 k payout from a school that is raising tuition and cutting jobs due to a budget shortfall.  It is a public institution.


I'm no military strategist, but I find it hard to believe that any competent leader would broadcast exactly where and when he was going to attack.

People say that this sort of bluster is largely intended for homegrown consumption, but Kim didn't reckon on having Donald trump respond as he did.

So opinions, desires, and biases aside.  Anyone, ANYONE, who really watched this game,  knows CSU got robbed. There will be a lot of folks who did not, will not, and care less to watch details about the game, dropping opinions based on the just the score.  I hope Cu and CSU, both have a great seasons.  Ultimately, it helps football in Colorado for both teams to be successful on the year    However, this officiating did not help anyone.  Even CU!


Denver Water Board hoards and then sells water to any entity in the state that needs/wants it.

Tom Jordan living in his own reality universe devoid of reason or intelligence.  Rupert Murdoch and Fox News leftist agents?  How far divorced from common sense can one get?


Nikos is from analytica, a consultant group created by and for the Republican Majority.

Working with the Alaska legislature is all they do. It's almost as if the Republicans created this company and hired some friends to tell them what they want to hear.

I don't know who pays Marks now but apparently the state was for years "Between 1983 and 2008 he was a senior petroleum economist with the Tax Division of the Alaska Department of Revenue"

He was a propaganda machine in support for SB21 and it turns out he was wrong so we clearly shouldn't be listening to him (nor the legislature for that matter)
https://www.adn.com/commentary/article/roger-marks-calling-out-six-vote-yes-claims/2014/08/10/

The only one I trust right now is Robin Brena and he has given his consulting to the state for free.

I have yet to see anyone discuss his testimony in the media or legislature.

If he is so off the wall,why don't they tell us what is wrong with what he said?

The blackout implies he is correct.

From recent years the alumnae included Kalei Adolpho, Sarah Mendoza, Tayler Higgins, and Tai Manu-Olevao. Chastity Nobriga was on the sidelines. I was disappointed Angelica didn't play - really wanted to see her and Robyn together again. All the Sateles were there. It was a much bigger and younger turnout than in previous years. As a result it was a much more vigorous game.


Jeez, another example of social justice warriors trying to milk a non-story. Are we going to start regulating how athletes trash talk during a game? Really? When I played football, I don’t recall a lot positive affirmations spoken on the line before the ball was snapped. I remember a lot of trash talk questioning the other player’s manhood, the relative attractiveness of his sister and the unknown provinence of his birth!  It’s not a lady’s tea social, after all. If you can’t handle a few insults, you shouldn’t play the game — whether it’s baseball, football or basketball.


Melania can wear whatever she wants!  She has her own business and her own bank account.  She obviously changed into more comfortable footwear.  I think the press's obsession with this story is deplorable and wasteful!!   There are much greater concerns to focus on!


According to other articles, she had due process. There was a removal order in 2013.


poor little lefty...he works here.
What don't you understand about a washout not being fixed for 17 years.


Once again, note that the Trump defenders are behaving more like fans than supporters - fans follow blindly; supporters view with a critical eye. He is turning the presidency into a mockery; I can only hope that it's a short period of time before his colleagues tell him to either grow up, stop blaming, and lead or he should resign and head back to tv.


Is that like carrying your musket to the TEA party rally and claiming it part of your heritage.


Frank baker, hahahaha. Teenagers don't do physical labor anymore. Mow lawns? Shovel snow? Sweep parking lots? It's beneath them. Their parents give them whatever they want. They are too busy playing video games all night.


Monsef is incompetent and completely untrustworthy.  This person should be fired.


Indeed!
And by insisting on strict obedience to the church’s authority, a generation of children grew into priests, becoming a generation of bishops that all met in Rome for Vatican II. There they looked at how they were raised and saw the problems, the restrictions and illogic, and called for changes. Christians should respect the dignity of every human person, we are a pilgrim people, etc.


You are right that it is skewed sample, skewed to politics and policy wonks. The average person didn't bother.

But that makes it all the more striking that even those want a deliberative, consultative government that makes compromises rather than rams down an agenda.


It is much more difficult when you don't even try. No one is asking you to learn an entire language. It is one word. Just one word.


Too bad the leg does not forsee these things. There should be an interim plan B to give the leg another 5 years to work out these problems.


When you consider the whole planet as sacred ground, it kind of loses its strength as a point of opposition to development.  This is not like building a condo on a graveyard.


Not very full on details..it did allude to it but May visited the site and only spoke with firefighters and arranged a photo-op with them, when meanwhile close by were the actual victims whom she ignored.  Mr. Corbyn on the other hand was right in there consoling them and saying he would investigate the cladding issue.   It will be hard for her to go back now....who would want to meet the women that would have opted to put the money saving cladding on as is her nature (of course it was not her that did, but as a comparison it is her ilk that does that).


what point? what happened  200 years ago etc is meaningless today.


According to the Victim Survey (NCVS), 25% of the victims of rape and sexual assault, robbery, and aggravated assault in 1993 faced an offender armed with a handgun. Of all firearm-related crime reported to the survey, 86% involved handguns. The FBI's Supplemental Homicide Reports show that 57% of all murders in 1993 were committed with handguns, 3% with rifles, 5% with shotguns, and 5% with firearms where the type was unknown. The 1991 Survey of State Prison Inmates found that violent inmates who used a weapon were more likely to use a handgun than any other weapon; 24% of all violent inmates reported that they used a handgun. Of all inmates, 13% reported carrying a handgun when they committed the offense for which they were serving time. What types of guns do criminals prefer? Research by Wright and Rossi in the 1980's found that most criminals prefer guns that are easily concealable, large caliber, and well made.

From the DOJ.


Now we're saying that Trump used his fame to force himself on women? How did we extrapolate that out of what he said. Seems to me his fame is what made women WILLING. So the women's morals are just as questionable as his. But wait, what is immoral about consensual sex or groping? And if you're going to say adultery is immoral, well, last statistics I read 66% of married men are unfaithful. So let's all just calm down a bit, why don't we. Ridiculous.


Respect women, children and your fellow man, don't do illegal activities, and be a productive member of society.  It is pretty simple....and if you screw up, you pay consequences.  Maybe with all the press on him now, he should do something positive with it; learn to change his mind-set and be an advocate for those in DV situations.  He could turn around how he is viewed and make a difference.


This article is written from your point of view that you support.  It however does bring up several things that blacks have advantages over whites.  Deny some on the list.   First and foremost should be the ability that blacks have to yell racism that whites do not have.

Cory's going to own this!


I'd really like to see this company be successful. They have received a lot in grants, tons of positive press coverage and made promises. If things don't work out, people will jump on that as evidence that a liberal run, grant funded venture to build an electric vehicle proves that such vehicles are impractical.
And as you said, it has to be the right vehicle. Let's hope this Uber thing works out.


Excellent.  The state budget gap is a little smaller.  One ferry is more than enough.


I really don't understand your logic on this issue. I thought Trump and his administration was supposed to be better than the Dems? "Drain the Swamp" remember"? If you were against wasteful spending of the Dems, shouldn't you be REALLY against it when your guy does it especially when your guy's campaign theme was "Drain the Swamp"?


Dear alaska: even though you are stone broke, keep paying for my pet social program no matter what. Just print more money and make me happy.

Bill Maher  and Richard Dawkins say the same things about Islam  as The Rebel  but don't get attacked for it because they are liberals .  Double Standard .  The same people attacking The Rebel  would be fine with it if  The Rebel  went after Catholics but Islam  ,forget about it . What a bunch of hypocrites .


Yeah give them the needle too.  Did you read where I wrote "The guns were secured in a locked building surrounded by an electrified fence, monitored by numerous cameras. The thugs stole his truck to smash the electrified gate and bust the door to the building. It all happened in 6 minutes. He has gone beyond what the BATF&E demand for securing those weapons."
In other words, he EXCEEDED what the government says he needs to secure his shop.


Also AGAINST THE GRAIN, there have been times I voted for a Democrat, Mr. Clinton on his second run is one. He was a scoundrel with women, but he also signed several pieces of conservative legislation, and reached across the political divide. A tough crime bill, the Defense Of Marriage Act, a law cleaning up welfare, but today, to find a Democrat like Mr. Clinton who could unite us as a nation, or a Republican like Mr. Reagan, is very rare.
Your point on both parties being corrupted is well taken, they are. They are the goose and the gander , birds of the same feather in many ways, Both owned by money, both serve big money corporate and individual, money is their key to power, not the common man who their only need for is a vote. I truly loved seeing Mr. Sanders and Mr. Trump both turn away the Koch brothers, Wall Street, and big money, today that is most refreshing. Although I voted for Mr. Trump, (supreme court), Mr. Sanders was the most honest of the 3, but I don't vote socialist


For both the Ontario liberals and the Federal liberals they also benefit that immigration actually increases job security for the Public sector. So once again the Public Sector worker is insolated/isolated from the downward pressure of wages caused by immigration. You have to wonder what the support for free trade and immigration would be if the public sector worker also faced downward pressure on their living standards from these policies.


Oh, you mean like the intel we got from the Israeli's saying there were WMD's in Iraq? The only reason for the failure of the peace process between Israel and the occupied Palestinians is because a peace treaty is not in Israel's best interest. The Israeli's want that land, and they are willing to murder alot of people to get it.


I hope the ADN can be saved.  The reporters are great.  WE need this newspaper.


Adrianna, I suggest you read the pseudo-science behind lie detector tests and how easy it is to beat them. There is a reason they are inadmissible in court.


Nah, I'm good. Enough anger issues out there as it is.


Thank for your sage advice.   You must have read that in The Communist Manifesto?


Oh,  but they are that simple. The left's negative coverage of Trump's remarks and soft coverage of Hillary is typical and expected of a media that is primarily leftist.   Look at CNN admitting, "we've done what we can to help Hillary"e

The coverage of Trump's remarks about Trump and how it was an "attack on goldstar mom's...." Which it clearly wasn't and while supposedly defending the attack on a gold star mother they go on the offensive to attack Patricia Smith.

Sleazy? yeah not seeing the swift boat ads as sleazy, How about Bush's awol? Which was a complete lie and crock. He didn't go to a medial appointment, SO WHAT??!! .  Kerry ran on his record which clearly wasn't what he said it was. So the swiftboat ads were fair


Zephyr....a life is still a life. Taking of a life by someone who had 1,000 to prior or some one with zero, shouldn't matter. Each life taken should be considered just as important and criminals who take a life, should pay just and equal punishment for taking a life.  Now if you don't see the relevance of what it means to take a life, there is nothing I can do to explain it to you.


Oh boy.....the man in the ivory tower is even going religious.  Evil?  Similar to most of what has been put out about Trump supporters, he claims a rube reflex based on hate, yet ignores the devastating damage that has been done to the working class in resource development and manufacturing from government over regulation, denial of access to natural resources and global outsourcing to the lowest common denominator.  Those used to be jobs where working people could actually afford to buy a house and send their kids to college.  Try that with a job as a barista.  C'mon Steve, you are supposed to know something about history.


So what's next on day-care policies? Will scheer now propose to spend some $$ on day-care or would he prefer women stay at home, in the kitchen? It would be good to see a policy on ANYthing out of scheer.

And slightly off topic but no other comments posted, even after 3 hours, so I'll sneak this in:
The headline says 'liberals can afford', when it should be 'federal government can afford'.
But that's  much better than a few years ago when the G&M would have written 'harper can afford'.
At least with this government, governing is not all about the PM. Not every decision micromanaged by the PM.  Wonder how scheer feels about micro-managing?


The problem is lack of alternatives.  If you want a nice, convenient, all-in-one solution of all your channels coming into through a single DVR available to record whatever you want whenever you want, your choices are pretty much Comcast, DirecTV, or Dish.  And even though they have some differences from each other, they all share many of the same annoyances.

We keep hearing about cord-cutting, but I have yet to see an all-around single alternative that's better.


Like the OPP at Caledonia. Too scared/politically correct to do their duty.


Couldn't agree more.


Do some research instead of taking the talking points that are being fed to you.


Your name says it all as does this comment.


If they scammed once, they are not done!

I would like a lot more details about them so others can be warned!


Yes, this country was built by Immigrants, but they were coming here for a  better life, and for religion.  The immigrants that are coming today, are not coming for a better life and religion.  They are coming to destroy America.  That is wrong!  We want people to come to our country with a sponsor and with the idea that they are going to become American citizens, work for themselves to be able to live by our standards, and to FOLLOW OUR LAWS.  Yeah for the Supreme Justice for voting 4-4, so that President Obama cannot have it all his way.  I suppose now he will have to take another vacation, because his work is so hard on him!!  What a joke!!  He does nothing, it is all of the immigrants that he has hired to run the White House for him and his family that make his decisions.


I suspect that even with a Republican president, conservative SCOTUS, Republican House and Senate, there will be no significant change in women's health and privacy rights.  COnservatives have already had 43 years to act against Roe, etc., and all there has been is noise.  Put up or shut up, respectfully.


First it was "lewd comments"

Now it is "sexually aggressive remarks"

Soon it will finally be accurate as "bragging about sexual assault"


No, diversity in this nation didn't start in the 1800's.  Diversity in this nation is a big problem.  I said, "And yes, before the Europeans arrived, the tribes were not one."

Yes, there's good from diversity.  But this nation struggles with it.  Always has.  Reading about Sayyid Qutb.  Right here in Greeley he was treated like garbage, and it prompted him to hate the West.  When I travel, I'm always met with a welcomeness I rarely see here.  Most of what we do is "those darn __________".  So, I'm saying for THIS country, diversity is as big a problem as it isn't, if not more so.  Just look at the in-fighting going on now.
