Could you cite your source to support 500,000 illegal immigrants?  I ask because the highest statistic I've found is closer to 120,000, of which 40,000 have disappeared off the government's radar.  That's a fraction of your quoted statistic.


Ak Joe - PLEASE don't be offended, I understand why you would feel disrespected, I really do. Personally, I am offended by religious groups who refuse to pledge. I have HUGE issues with the military! I hate the way our government treats those that serve. Lack of proper medical care is atrocious. I hate the high suicide rates of our returning vets. I hate how once you join they own you, for those that can't take it, they can't leave & jailed for AWOL. I hate that we are fighting other people's wars but they tie our hands because of "rules of engagement". We have AK soldiers still in military prison because they were ordered too shoot and when it turned out they were civilians their CO's lied.
Our military men & women sacrifice so much, family, mental health, truama, injury and even death and the way we treat these heros is horrible.

 "...with liberty and justice for all."

LEO brutality, racism, hate crimes and failing to take care of our military vets isn't justice for all.


I hope you apologize to every person in hauula that dies or suffers serious permanent damage that could have been saved had the new fire station  already been built, but instead you delayed it to hold out for more money after reneging on your agreement to sell the land.

You mean, get this change made among all the Berg bills which got overwhelming support and changed City Hall forever?  Surely you jest.  And, even though you are merely being snotty, I actually did work on that precise change in the form of a draft Charter Amendment.  You'll have to ask Berg what he did with that subsequent to my early departure.  But since you're merely being snotty, I doubt that you will get to the bottom of this.

So the reason that pet sales are banned in Vancouver is that inhumane manufacturing processes (breeding mills) exist.

A fascinating line of argument.

At this rate, then, Vancouver should ban the sales of running shoes, clothes and pharmaceuticals, since inhumane manufacturing processes exist out there for all of those products.

Yup, don't let anyone in Vancouver buy another running shoe, shirt or pill in that city until the brave social justice warriors engineering Vancouver have solved the worldwide problems in those areas.

And maybe after they have finished curing the world of probelms in the area of dog, running shoe, cat, pill, tee-shirt, dress and rabbit...

... they could do something about something useful about something wildly outside of the purview of city concerns, namely, um, the prohibitively expensive house situation in Vancouver...


Yes, solid union research, lol.

Trump should build a Trump Tower right across the street from city hall just to rub it in. ;-)


Boozer, if Apple has sales of $26 million in Oregon, wouldn't Apple now pay the normal $30,000 tax for sales of above $25 million, plus 2.5% on the $1 million over $25 million? My reading of the bill is that it doesn't matter about where something is produced, just where the sales were.

We already have hate laws on the books. The recordings from a mosque telling their people to kill Jews is a pure hate crime. Saying you don't agree with a religion is not hate it's an opinion.


Thank your this link. It tells us that:
"Dominican Cardinal Christoph Schönborn was one of the first to apply Aquinas’ supposed imprimatur to the document, telling reporters at a press conference to mark its publication in April that the document “is profoundly Thomistic.” The Pope has designated the Archbishop of Vienna as the definitive interpreter of the exhortation."

I am not sure why we should prefer Fr Cole's claim to Schönborn's, or vice versa. Fr Cole tells us that "In the end, following Tradition is the most authentically Thomistic position, for he firmly opposed any doctrinal position that was not faithful to divine revelation and the Church’s binding teachings." The teaching from Francis is now part of our tradition, and Schönborn is the one faithful to it. Fr Cole seems rather to side wih those who claim it is not, so it appears this principle depends on prior position. If you believe papal teaching is part of our tradition, you side with Francis; if not, you side against.


I'll try to refresh your memory.   I got this from the Huffington Post.
1. On election night, several television networks called Florida for George W. Bush, clinching the electoral college — although Gore would end up winning about 500,000 more votes. Gore called Bush to concede.
2. Then the networks uncalled Florida — and Gore unconceded, realizing that he was ahead in the popular vote and if he ended up winning Florida he would have won the election. The election was literally too close to call.
3. A legally mandated recount began.
4. Bush (not Gore) sued to stop recounts in some counties.
5. Gore sued to extend deadlines for recounts.
6. The Florida Supreme Court ordered a more extensive recount. Bush (not Gore) appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
7. The U.S. Supreme Court stopped the recount.
8. Gore conceded.
Bush v. Gore would resonate, in any case, because the Court prevented Florida from determining, as best it could, whether Gore or Bush really won.


The Donald is obsessed with what goes on in the Media Mecca as you call it.  So much so that he spends his time watching TV rather than doing hig job.  Trump was glued to the TV and his twitter account while on vacation in Florida while Boeing laid off 1800 engineers.  So much for his pledge on jobs.

Mr. Trump is an imbecile.  He's an embarrassment to the United States.

Thankfully, his popularity drops every single day.  He's increasingly irrelevant , although his sycophant supporters haven't figured that out yet.


I spent the day yesterday at Camp Pendleton, where the son of one of our employees was graduating from Marine Corps Boot Camp and, coincidentally, being sworn in as a new US citizen, along with seven other recruits from the Mariana Islands, Nigeria, and Mexico. My husband and I had helped him and his family get through the process of obtaining their green cards, but only their son has become a citizen because the law allows people serving in the military to accelerate the process. We discovered yesterday that there were many such families who had been assisted through the process, and that the military and the government actively cooperate.

I think this is one of the avenues concerned people should explore as their time and resources allow, even as we debate the larger issues, because there are people who can be helped right now if we pay attention to the human drama as well as the political one.


No sociopaths/psychopaths aren't "created" by upbringing. They are born that way. And there are more of them among us than you would like to know.

I resented being forced to be one of the guinea pigs for equality as a member of the military,  I also resented my loss of Free Speech, Freedom of Association and several other Constitutional rights.

That's where the progressives get to force their views on a portion of the society just because they can.

As a result, however, the goals of a meritocracy which did not depend of 'affirmative action' or 'special' treatment based on race permitted and required me to be an equal, a subordinate and a supervisor of Blacks, Hispanics, Asians and every other conceivable ethnic group.

If you do that for twenty years or so, and pay any kind of attention, and the meritocracy actually functions most of the time, (nothing human-designed is perfect!) your attitudes will change.

I found, based on personal experience, that every single human being's best and worst qualities exist in every single ethnic group without exception.  They are not weighted more heavily in any particular one, either.

For that matter, if AA is not a religion, why did the Toronto AA governing body try to hide behind "section 18 of the Human Rights Code, which allows a religious group to restrict participation to the faithful?" But then, reason and logic are not particularly useful in the world of AA membership.

Most people not have almost no knowledge of investment matters and have little or no inclination to learn. To them, it's all a big mystery and they have not had the opportunity to learn the basics. I was lucky when I was in my mid- 20s to have benefited from the advice of someone who had stock investments and counselled me on what to look for. Most individuals don't get that kind of advice and most investment professionals have no interest in educating small investors. Back in the days when we had to deal with full service stock brokers, small investors like me were almost entirely on our own, with far less information than we have at our fingertips today.


Look up who the two principal owners of the Civil comments company are.  It will clarify what is going on.


Any G20 that can't reach consensus on condemning North Korea's nuclear weapon aspirations and provocative missile testing isn't worth the carbon burned to fly these people to meet.  These are smoke-and-mirror events, more about posturing and photo-ops than anything else.  Worse yet, they are an open invitation for professional protesters to escalate their violence.

The politicization of the G20 (or G7, or the UN) has undermined its effectiveness.  The most effective kind of multilateralism is the kind which occurs when nobody is looking....the kind that happens in spite of our political leaders rather than because of them.

Cute, but it's not that simple.  The collectivist attitudes of the middle 20th century against colonialism only created a different kind of colonialism, where the government owns and controls all of the subsurface and virtually all of the surface and doles out well-paying jobs to the few and a thousand or two per year to most of the rest of the populace.  Then there's the "now that I got mine, I need to keep you from getting yours" mentality that the older generations constantly hold over the younger ones.

Mr. Brewer,

I do not agree that Queen Lili'uokalai suffered from Stockholm Syndrome.

I am suggesting that Native Hawaiians had suffered systematic oppression following the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom government, which coincided with the loss of Native Hawaiian agency in political authority exercised here in the Hawaiian Islands.

My grasp of Hawaiian history has equipped me with the understanding that the U.S. Government neither overthrew the Hawaiian Kingdom nor did it impose systematic oppression through legislation (like the Dawes Act) as it did against Native Americans.

The Native Hawaiian Constitution neither promotes segregation nor is it racist.  Those are your unsubstantiated opinions and you are entitled to them.

The death of Queen Lili'uokalani did not end the Hawaiian Kingdom.  The transition of Hawaiian Kingdom subjects to U.S. Citizens over the 123+ years since the overthrow ended the Hawaiian Kingdom.  No such Hawaiian Kingdom government currently exists.

Read the summary prepared by the UN of systemic racism that exists to this day in Canada that, unlike in the U.S., is never discussed or even acknowledged.
Then ask yourself if the mere fact that black racism, while it permeates every Canadian institution according to outside evaluators while your entire society and government look the other way is justification for your smug yet virtuous persona.

Good information. But my experience flying several thousand hours in Alaska is that all birds try to avoid a small airplane, IF they see it. Including Bald Eagles. Would be interesting to know how these bird experts attribute an intent to attack an aircraft.  Is it possible that when the Cessna 172 hit the tree as reported that it might have hit a nesting Bald Eagle?

Often wondered why it seems that mental illness has become more frequent.  Suicide rates since the 1960's have for the most part stayed the same.  But, reported mental illness and use of prescription drugs has skyrocketed.  Seems like things are getting worse and not better:

"...Whitaker: The rise in the disability rate due to mental illness is simply the starting point for the book. The disability numbers don’t prove anything, but, given that this astonishing increase has occurred in lockstep with our society’s increased use of psychiatric medications, the numbers do raise an obvious question. Could our drug-based paradigm of care, for some unforeseen reason, be fueling the increase in disability rates? ..."

https://www.counterpunch.org/2010/04/28/the-astonishing-rise-of-mental-illness-in-america/

In that story, the author says the common theme in scientific literature is that psychiatric drugs are short-term treatment but create chronically ill patients.


Awesome!  What a forward-thinking, benevolent and cool guy he is!  So hard to imagine any of the Trumps doing the same.


This is sort of a silly argument because none of these people who are responsible for the dead bears have 40 acres, but I'll humor you because the electricity bill wouldn't be much different. You don't understand how electric fences work.  If you are paying 20 cents/kw, and you are running a 50KW charger 24/7, your monthly cost would be $7.20.  40 acres means you need a mile of fence (very small by agricultural standards).

This is a tired argument.  Benefits were already reduced twice - once in the 90s and once in the 2000s, leaving retirements to public employees starting after those dates quite reasonable.  However, commitments to public employees who started before those reforms cannot be repudiated once those benefits have been earned under the Oregon Constitution, and, frankly, fundamental fairness.  I sympathize with the writer regarding his fixed income, but he should consider how he might feel if the federal government suddenly decided that his Social Security and Medicare benefits were too generous and decided to cut them.  That wouldn't be fair to him, of course, any more than it's fair to cut the earned pensions of public employees.

Watching Mr. Trump "on stage" in Phoenix was actually a little frightening.  IMO, I was watching an American President who seemed to be "channeling" Benito Mussolini....the strutting; the primping; the upthrust chin as he absorbed the roar of his crowd of sycophantic supporters. Watch some of the films of Mussolini, I think you will see what I mean.   Trump's  performance....and, it was a performance,....was about him and was designed and orchestrated to "feed" his ego.  Watch it for yourself; listen to his bragging and his appeals for adulation.  Then, ask yourself: Does this man seem focused on the welfare of our country or on his own ego gratification?  Is this man really emotionally fit to be our President?  and finally, do you really want such a man to continue as our President?  Gary Crum


This reads like a variation of a "domestic dispute" police call.  Put together a few folks who are angry and intoxicated, mix well, then call the police to settle things down.  It's common knowledge that such calls are extremely dangerous for officers.  Additionally, of course, police officers are not "relationship counselors" and usually end up with everyone angry at them.

At this point it's all "guess work" as attorneys, judges, possibly juries and who knows who else send time and amass huge legal fees and court costs to "resolve" things.  Law suits are almost always aimed at the folks with the "deepest pockets", in this case the EPD.


Using the UN statistics (how were they computed?) helps sensationalize the issue but gives little insight into what is happening at this time in Canada. The first step in understanding the issue is defining it properly. Apparently a non-ideological analysis conducted with real scientific rigour,  that considers both genders and works from a defined, agreed-upon definition of sexual assault is impossible to come by.


Good luck with that.


This is so silly, and patently false.  Dodd - Frank, which the House repealed and is the subject of this piece protects nobody other than the big banks.  Why?

It is in the process of driving local banks and lending institutions out of business, concentrating the power in the hands of a few too big to fail corporations in NYC.  Putting your faith in Elizabeth Warren's brainchild is a poor lifestyle choice.  Good on the Repubs ot repeal this legislation.  Cheers -


Exactly right. These small communities and many others, in Alaska, have a sales tax that already taxes it's visitors to offset taxing its reidents. Now these small cities, bush hamlets and people who chose to live off the grid want the Anchorage and Fairbanks to subsidize their chosen life style through an income tax. Many of these bush hamlets and off grip places, have NO viable economy. The only thing that keeps the doors in these places are tons State $$.

Jerald Bruce Harrison, 58, of Fairbanks, was charged with 4th-degree assault and two counts of 4th-degree criminal mischief Jan. 22 after Fairbanks police responded at 4:20 a.m. to a disturbance at the Springhill Suites hotel. Harrison, who was not registered as a guest, entered the hotel and began writing on a wall. When contacted by hotel security, Harrison became agitated and started shouting at the front desk staff. Harrison said two Fairbanks City Council members were going to pay for a room for him to stay in. Hotel staff asked Harrison to leave and he began shouting that the council members were demons who were sent to kill him, according to the charges. Harrison opened a half door and let himself behind the front desk, then menaced the staff with a pen. He entered an office, barricaded the door with filing cabinets and discharged a fire extinguisher in the room. Harrison also knocked computers and various office supplies from the counters.


Yup! Your point?


Didn't Uncle Frank da Bank try this during his administration, if I recall that had little or no affect on state spending.

Now, take a look at that photograph.  I mean, really SEE it.

Saw video just like that shot in Firdos Square, Baghdad a few years ago, showing Iraqis cheering and shouting with glee as the statue of Saddam Hussein sort of...kind of...keeled over.

Well, whaddya know...


Conventional mortgages with 25 year am is subject to stress test at the higher of 2% or the benchmark rate.  The 35 year am is a loophole but that only brings their maximum credit back to before the B20 change.  Another loophole are credit unions or unregulated capital but that is currently countered by tighter appraisal values.  Conclusion:  Without significant increases to wages, there's limited upside to real estate prices because the mortgages are simply not there anymore.

You're confusing criminality with FCC Licensing. The FCC doesn't license ANYTHING that isn't criminal. But the major media considers itself too big to fail. Even tough they were caught red-handed colluding with the Clinton campaign against both Trump and Sanders, their attitude is you HAVE to believe us anyway because a free press is so important.


Not that it matters.


"...The spiritual malaise will continue and it will fester and it will spread and it will devour until that day of reckoning, reaffirmed decency, and true justice arrives to liberate us all...."

Don't hold your breath, Chroma.  As long as the majority voting masses continue to be duped by the two big parties, nothing's gonna change.  Iraq wasn't only a Bush-Cheney thing.  And, nobody is to blame for buying into that garbage than the American citizen.  It's our duty to educate ourselves and keep our government on a short leash.  I'm thinking that'll never happen, as these troops being deployed has met little resistance.  Wanna see where our citizens are?  Go follow the article on Trump asking ESPN to apologize for the things said about him by an employee of their's.  That's the priority of Americans.  We're way too stupid to be making decisions for other countries.


Except for Nazem Kadri, I believe that all the other people you list are christian.


Mumps does not cause male sterility. That is propaganda intended to scare people to get vaccinated.

I have been vaccinated. Even for trips abroad. Had my fair share of jabs in the arm and oral equivalents. But none work. The adaptive human immune system doesn't flinch over subcutaneous injections that happen to include a deactivated pathogen, and deactivated ingredients is quazi-homeopathy.

You put your faith in false experts that have no tangible idea what they're talking about. How the human immune system works eludes the brightest microbiologists, who are way more scientifically knowledgeable than average MDs.

In fact, much discovery in immunology is by students chancing upon decades old papers collecting dust and rejuvenating their findings. You have no idea what vaccines are and how interface with the human species, else you would have a Nobel.


I still believe Biden-Warren would be a hard ticket to beat  - both experienced, both well-liked on both sides of the aisle, both with high approval ratings and low negatives.


The British Monarchy is the last one in Europe which is still, by law, involved in the actual governing of the nation and still a world power.  The rest of them are just figureheads, even Monaco, which is allowed to exist by its neighbors.  Since you can't see such reality and refuse to read further into the text your reply is useless and just another attack the messenger ploy of the uninformed and stupid.


Anyone care to have these people be their next door neighbor? If your answer is "yes", then there maybe some credence to your argument. However, if your answer is "no" then leave the issue alone and allow the people in charge of our penal system to decide where an inmate is housed.


A great program for our young.  "Read - for knowledge and wisdom"!


The entire world should be supporting the creation of an independent state for Kurds, considering the amount of persecution these people have had to endure!

These people have been one of the best allies to the West and it is a disgrace that western leaders are not supporting this!


Money is not the only factor - add in the lack of respect for teachers by students AND parents, the testing overreach by the federal and states, the cost of living combined with salaries that are now 8% LOWER than they were a decade ago, and the declining value of PERA as a "benefit," and it's no wonder we have an ever increasing teacher shortage.

This is just the tip of the iceberg ... it's going to get worse - MUCH worse.


"In every other way his criticism of Acosta was reasonable and on point."

No, it was not.  Miller created his own argument that wasn't there to begin with, then he ran with it.  He very clearly twisted Acosta's words.  He did not address the actual questions that Acosta was asking.

I felt deeply embarrassed for Miller as I watched that train wreck.  He looked pretty bad.


For $25million we get the federal government to spend $225 million that will go to local companies, local vendors and local employees. Do the math and it pays for itself. Don't pay for it and maybe you are driving over one of those bridges when it fails....


My reason to include off street parking is due to the current lack of on street parking for retail and professional visits downtown.  Eugene allowed development without off street parking for businesses years ago when the population was much smaller than it currently is, I don't think the City planners at the time envisioned the current growth of Eugene.

The mention of the parking garages by an earlier respondent is noted as a reasonable alternative, but due to a frightening experience in the garage at 10th and Oak Street many years ago, I never use the downtown parking garages when I'm by myself.  Also, I know several people who won't use them because of the current population of miscreants that have taken up residency downtown.

Another factor to consider about parking a block or two away from the apartment is the unpredictability of Oregon weather, tenants won't  want to make multiple trips carting items from their car in the rain,  they'll park on the street by the building.


Merci Rich pour l'aide...although I feel some contempt in your comment. I maintain "self-sufficient", however. Meriam-Webster's definition: "having an extreme confidence in one's own ability or worth". That's pretty much what I think and what he thinks of himself.

Brilliant as usual. Cutting humour supremo.


Honestly, I do. All you have to do is look how the Broncos handle the rest of the team. Competition is everywhere, period. No way you can deny that. Right?

I'm beyond glad the competition went down, because people seem to avoid the fact that if Elway just wanted Lynch, Paxton would have been the starter the minute Vance was announced as HC, and no one would have blamed Vance, it being a new regime and all. Imagine Lynch just getting all of the 1s automatically. He would probably grow as fast as Goff.

Tip O' the hat to Vance, he made the right decision, in front of everyone, and yet the decision of competition is still questioned.


The entire column is ignoring the sources for all of the "healthcare" costs.  Hospitals and physicians groups have raised their prices for all aspects of healthcare with no restrictions or justifications other than greed.  The insurance industry joined with the providers to form an unholy alliance of uncontrolled greed unimpeded by any government regulations.  The only regulating is in Medicare and Medicaid where a government agency restricts the payments to providers.  The providers wail and gnash their teeth at these intrustions into their greed system.  Compounding the problem is the ownership of healthcare providing by Roman Catholic corporations claiming religious exemptions from tax payments and restrictions on healthcare providing based on religious dogma.  In recent years, the Catholic  Healthcare institution have absorbed physician groups into their umbrella to control all aspects of healthcare in many communities throughout the nation. This column is just chaff without truth.


Would be interesting to know what group in New Delhi Harper was addressing Canadian Press! - according to CBC it's the India based Observer Research Foundation.

Great analysis though from a great former PM.


It's been a year and lots of people are already tired of Trudeau's style.


My aunt from Australia came out for a holiday, and she was utterly horrified at all the drug addicts and panhandlers.
Got news for you Dippers...tourists don't notice pipelines.
They do, however, get turned off by druggies and beggars...


Funny how no one here was seemingly concerned when Mr. Comey testified that charges would not be brought against Clinton - then he seemed to be a hero to many here.

Interesting.


Yeah the only problem with that theory is that it doesn't work in the real world.  The last election was about more and more of the economy getting funneled to the top few percent to the detriment of the rest.  The tax cut for businesses only adds to the problem.  Instead of funding more production and jobs what happens in the real world is that it funds more stock buybacks. The problems in the economy are on the demand side and worker skill levels not the supply side.  Targeted tax cuts that promote workforce training and apprenticeships might be something that will help the economy.  Eliminating other tax breaks that provide no real economic benefit while lowering rates by a like amount could make sense.  Eliminating or limiting the deduction of interest expense could help in the long run. There are reform ideas that make sense but all we see at this point is rate cuts.


They will use Alaska lawyers.


One (of so many) element of your story is that you don't only "see" the physical, the physiognomy of the other, but in their personhood.  Marvelous. Thank you.


The true face of liberalism is starting to show. They know which groups are too busy to organize protests and use these same groups as an escape goat to divert attention away from their own ideology and incompetenance. Unions, left wing groupies and those that won't work can organize protests on a moments notice and are rarely picked by liberals...disgusting that the harder you work, the less free time you have, the more your attacked by this government.


And that would be Dall Sheep?-we are talking about Alaska in case you missed it.


I think to mean patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel.


Was this poll, by any chance, taken from the 39% of  liberal folks who elected Justin.
This portion of canadians, think that prancing around in pink and making faces to Trump, will be as easy as introducing the scam Carbon tax  'to save the earth', over a destruction of Canada's economy and anguish for poorer taxpayers


Yeah, ADN, why don't you HIDE all those gun violence stories so we don't scar the law abiding citizenry into waking up and lobbying for responsible gun control.  Shhhhh.  Keep the gun stories out of sight, out of mind.


re "Number one lesson in life No body owes you anything. Lesson number two do not be dependent on the government for your insurance..."

True. Totally absolute truth.


Yeah ... I was wondering about my punctuation there :-) I am well aware of the history.
Perhaps to be more specific for any future readers. "the so-called "coloured" peoples; the Indian population ...."

I could also have said: "And of course there are other very large cultural groups that you do not mention: the so-called "coloured"; the Indian population who arrived here as either slaves or indentured labour." But that sounds a little clumsy.  And I only had limited characters!

I'll have to update My Grammarly. https://www.grammarly.com

One would hope that readers of the DM would be aware of the history but my question remains: "And how will you change it?"


I have no idea what Trump supporters are. Those who aren't Trumpists themselves may merely be credulous to a self-defeating fault. I have spoken with quite a few who inexplicably thought Trump would progress things in this country. Perhaps they're just terrible judges of character. Are they surprised to watch Trump nihilistically tear down a century of progress, upset, or in a state of denial? Who knows. I'm not sure they're even willing to give themselves an honest answer, much less provide one to someone who starts on the true left for progress. After all, in simplistic football game mentality, those who aren't on your team are always The Enemy. Too bad this is a recipe for social division and enslavement to feudalistic thinking and politics. To Enlightenment thinkers, that's somewhere in the rear view mirror. We're not going to live in nor give any quarter to some new American dark age nor its proponents.


As a Gay cradle Roman Catholic who moved away from the Church many years ago and a year ago began again to receive the Sacraments, I must say the Church has not been very welcoming in Los Angeles to my husband and me.
With the Cardinal of Lima, Juan Luis Cipriani  Thorne, invited by our Archbishop to say Mass at my Parish the Cathedral Our Lady of the Angels I realized that it was time to search for a different faith community. Cipriani said this about LGBT unions in Spain "In today's world, evil disguises itself as good, it is imposed on others, and woe to him who does not believe it". Cipriani has also made comments about women who have been sexually abused such as "the woman puts herself on provoking display". At All Saints Day Mass yesterday at the Cathedral when we shared the Sign of Peace the man next to me turned his back to me.
Sunday we took the Blessed Sacrament at St. John's Episcopal Cathedral, the priests and parishioners were very welcoming. An ordained Mother said Mass.


Coach, please ban gum chewing.


Here's a link to an article by the president of the  Sustainable Trails Coalition in California. The vast majority of responses( quite a few by cyclists ) in the comments section there appear to be negative and most state the reasons for that better than I can.

Mr Trump has many times stated he favours bilateral deals vs multilateral.  To him they seem simpler and transactional. But for companies and governments they add extra complexity when building international supply chains and in the end it is less efficient for all.

We can't force Mr Trump to stay in NAFTA but as this article recommends we can keep close trading relationships with Mexico. They seem to be emerging as the more reliable partner in our North American trading alliance.


I forgot, they must also learn as much canon law as possible, as it is the law of the One and Only True Church, is mandated by the Inerrant and Infallible Magisterium and thus is the epitome of all that law could be.


HI:
I appreciate your honesty:"I voted for PM Trudeau"
In my unofficial polling a Tims(over a morning coffee) those voters are harder and harder to find.

Sorry, I don't understand.  I thought measure 5 put limits on property tax rates and that most of the counties were at that limit.  What gives.  Also, $315 is given as the average public safety expenditure per capita.  Yet every example given including the most populous counties are below the average?  I don't understand.


I don't use this plant but I want my community to have the right to use it if they so choose.

Best comment on this thread. Northwind your thinking is good.


Did UH ask for the dates of these meetings and the minutes of these meeting so that they will know how much time was spent on the review of the case.


fastcats, well at least they were built locally, spinning the money around the province. Where the last 5 built?  Germany and Poland.


They're banking on the hope that follow-up attention and accountability on this slowly-unfolding corruptly-managed disaster recovery will be diverted by the new disasters and/or armed conflicts these fascists surely have already got planned to pop up like poison mushrooms in the next few months. They expect to see this sucker forgotten in triage, its affronts systemically minimized or lost to escape the public's attention. A death by 1001 cuts to Puerto Rico and to Boricuans.

The government can't oversee that a job is done correctly and people want them to run their healthcare, some people are just plain insane.


It is the exact thing Thomas Merton was talking about "From now on, Brother, everybody stands on his own feet." at Bangkok just before he died.  I apparently have relied on the CI (Catholic Institution) way too much. My horror, grief, and outrages lasted about three years.

CI is apparently too busy with other things, perhaps with power and money, to tend this sexual abuses of children!!!
I, IOH, can't wait for them.  I am not strong enough to ignore the impurities in CI.  I will have to work on my inner transformation, i.e., purity of heart some other ways.


I heard that mentioned respectfully COLOGEEK, but yet to hear it was verified. We'll know more as witnesses come forward and are heard, but maybe not in the Denver Post. The Denver Post has a left wing agenda, they are owned and don't always report everything, much like 98% mainstream media.
It's why many of us go to other sources to stay abreast of the news, local, especially national, and worldwide. The editorials in the Denver Post offer no contrasting opinions, often omits much, nor is there any deviation from the leftwing agenda. It even buy articles and editorials from other well noted leftwing publications, and is not even an independent thinking publication. It's sad.
Have a wonderful evening!


I am referring to my Grade 13 economics knowledge here so please excuse me. Just looking for someone to weigh in. Are we not likely to end up back as the "hewers of wood and drawers of water"? In other words, the U.S. will not impose large duties on raw materials they are after and we will remain their closest and largest source. But as for manufacturing, and jobs that go with it, the U.S. wants those jobs to be in the U.S. So, Canada may still be in a good position in terms of lumber, wheat, metals and other exports of raw materials.


Or Canon City. Or at least the county slammer.


In 1972 I made 1.80 / hour, which was above minimum wage. I shared a two bedroom apartment with a roommate and barely managed to make ends meet every month even with mooching occasional  meals off my parents. This was in a very low cost of living state and there is simply no way I could have supported a family. I don't know why anyone would expect anything different today.


The King Cove/Cold Bay road is about one thing, and one thing only..............Building a road with taxpayer dollars so that TRIDENT seafood can drive their Crab and other rare seafoods to the airport to ship them out fresh to make huge profits.

This is all about Murkowski and Sullivan using taxpayer dollars to pay for a private company' s road. How much will that company pay to use the road ?  That road will be made to withstand the large truck traffic for their large seafood trucks.  They will pillage the oceans, all so Murkowski and Sullivan can ride the Richey Rich tides of their super-wealthy sycophant lifestyle !!!!!!!

They want to screw over that wildlife preserve, so that company can rape the ocean out there !!!
It's all about money, and getting ahead in politics by using Average Joe's tax money for the benefit of their rich backscratchers. It's simple anti-social behavior and shows a truly anti-social thinking pattern by our politicians.  Disgusting !!!!!!


Jeeze, I'm glad you know the perspective of all business owners. Some owners are willing to give up those rights to support artists and to expand public art in our city, good on them. If all art is "painted on material that you own," art would remain locked away in galleries and museums. Murals bring art to the masses, they make us think, they bring joy and beauty into public spaces.


The state could ALSO review its current tax rates and any negotiated rate deals with a host of corporations (Walmart, Cabella's, Sams Club, Fred Meyer [Kroger], Carr's [Safeway], REI) most of which are headquartered outside.  Ironically, nobody, it seems, wants to talk about revenue streams that don't come out of our back pockets.


Oh my goodness! Such petty men you are. You are all twisted into a huge awful knot.

Not many citizens have the privilege of attending city council committee meetings or hearings.

The more I participated in the process, the more alarmed I became of Mayor Caldwell's disjointed leadership and pay to play games. I deem Mayor Caldwell a grave danger to good government and basic democracy.

So far, I have not seen it reported anywhere that Ms. Coulter received an equivalent replacement; I see it stated by commenters, but not reported. If she is upset because she had her extra legroom taken away from her, I am on her side. If she's throwing a bratfit because she didn't receive the exact seat she booked, but did get an equivalent one, then I side with her critics.


This is not some 'entitlement'. This belongs to us as citizen/owners and you're the 'sore loser' by trying to play politics with our money. This isn't about Bill being a Democrat or about you being a Republican, this is about doing the right thing and getting our share of our oil wealth. Good for Bill Wielechowski looking out for the states' citizens.


Canadians would be well served to wake up and oppose scum by the likes of one Angela Merkel. We've become too accepting of her nonsense, which fosters hate.


The reason this Dr can prescribe such huge quantities and/or seemingly fatal combinations w/o multiple deaths from overdose to his acct is because he is prescribing for individuals with HUGE tolerances in all likelihood - people who have been addicted for considerable time and have very large habits.

There are arguments on both sides as to whether he is performing a kindness or a horrific crime.  But he Doesn't seem to be *pushing* - getting the naive addicted.  And what he's charging, combined with the cost of the pharm, is a mercy compared to what people with this degree of a habit would have to turn up each month - likely from other people's property sold at an extreme discount.
We Really need to rethink the Federal Laws and handling of addictive drug use and supply.  Priority: closing down the Black Market and profiteers


DQ actually bought out Marukai as well, although now they will only have one Marukai store.  Food-wise, you can pretty much find everything that you would find in Japan.  The only thing Japanese do better is with the hot food offerings.  Not to be racist, but Japanese chefs do a much better job at taste and appearance (i.e., bentos, sushi).  But DQ/Marukai is OK for local purchase.  I wonder what Japanese tourists think of DQ/Marukai bentos?


At the R-G Website it's always April 1st!

Er....I think the media was just reporting what the Democratic Senate leader said...


When is a vet not a 'vet'. Perhaps in Canada when they spend more time whining about how much pot they can smoke on the governments dime, than the more important issue facing real vets. Vets are like any other group, with their fair share of 'base stallions',weekend warriors, and issues they had long before entering the military.


Spot on, screw the locals.


For anyone thinking about military action, read the second sentence of this article 10 times.


You’re a real wit...

Too funny !

You know, people keep asking me that, but I've actually never watched that. (And don't intend to.)


BA:  Gonna be a long 8 years for you.  Too bad you can't put aside your animosities and help improve the current situation.  Your constant complaining will fall on increasingly deaf ears making your comments less and less relevant.  But to each his own.


You need a physical address to register, Spen.


So you think we can just stop having economic cycles with the wave of a hand??  That's incredibly naive.


You mean you're relieved your daddy figure isn't going to jail today.


Everybody benefits from economic activity and value creation.  Everybody loses when loudmouted ignoramuses step in and shut it down.  We have engineers that can design for things like earthquakes and crashing 747s.  Unfortunately, we can't engineer against every contemplated disaster that any chicken-little can imagine, or those extremists that will use imminent catastrophe as a pretext to their agenda.

Where were you when the natural gas pipeline was brought in to Coos Bay ten years ago?  Hunkering down for that imminent catastrophe?


Okay, Sarasi1, I'll spell it out.  Say, the improbably impossible happened that a priest rendered a lady "with child".  Theologically, the conceived child would not be a priest, because the "ontological otherness" of priestliness ends with his ontologically necessary "whatever". God made it this way, just in case "the conceived might be a female. Got it? Wouldn't that be awful?!
This might seem to contradict the ability of a priest to "transmit" a priestly blessing that somehow goes from him to whomever. We'll deal with that when we have forgotten about this.


Yes drastically different and are suffering the consequences.


............. and Trump lies more often than Spicer


So where were you on the report that the Trudeau government is less transparent?   Keep it up you are entertaining at least.


Some like it hot.


Wow, some republican lawmakers showing concern. That's a bit like, some people in the Titanic lifeboats worrying about that old iceberg...time to trade in those "make America great again" ball caps for the "I'm with Stupid" tee shirts.


Is trump paying the G&M? It is severely bizarre to have comments removed that are real in Canada


This is all just kabuki theatre. They will pass higher taxes because they don't have any ideas of what to do differently. The rail will get funded off of all of our taxpayers backs and they will fleece our tourists. In the end, the rail will never do what some had hoped, but it will be very lucrative for the poiliticians who keep getting insanely voted in and for the developers who have bought them.

We don't want rail at this cost or at the cost of 3 years ago. If you can't do it for the projected $2.5 billion, change it to fit what we can afford but don't keep driving down road expecting more and more and more taxes for failed leadership and wasteful spending!


So Ronald, where do you live?


So you liked Harper because it benefited you personally as a small business owner?
Some of the best con games exploits the greed of the mark.
Please also consider the ramifications of Stockholm Syndrome.
The fact that you make this post (judiciary, stats Can, muzzling) leads me to believe that you can be saved from what I observe to be The Sociopathic Business Party.
Harper's agenda was real for those not willfully blind to the facts.
"What does it profit a man to win the whole world but lose his own soul."


I'm not a fan of southern food, but everyone said Taproot had good food. I never got to try it, though it always sounded good.

I'll miss the live music.


You can thank Republicans who hate the right to a decent public education for continuing to cut school funding.


These chemicals allow farmers to grow more food for cheaper prices than ever before.  These chemicals are the reason there isn't mass starvation in the world.  Before you go on any more anti-science rants you should thank the next farmer you see because without them you'd starve in a week.


But many of us do want to fund them. Why do you assume that your dislike for them should be a deciding factor?


Keonimay, I might have believed you if you had not cited being on Beau Gritz team.  You do not even have his nick name right.  It was “Bo,” and not “Beau.”  James “Bo” Gritz was and perhaps still is a blow hard egotist, conspiracy theorist and antigovernment wacko who claims to have done many things that were either false or could not be substantiated.  Following his retirement from the Army in 1978, Bo Gritz spent most of the 1980s organizing and conducting private missions to Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam to search for and rescue POW his informants said were still being held.  The results?  Zero, zip, zilch, nada.  Gritz had no credibility with his POW/MIA nonsense, so he turned to politics where he failed at several attempts for political office including Vice President of the United States.  He also failed when he shot himself in the head with a .45 caliber pistol in a suicide attempt in 1998.  What a loser.  When and where did you serve on his team?  What was Operation Freedom.

Anna,
  I'm sorry if your granddaughter got injured as a result of a vaccine. However remote, it is inevitable that some people will have negative reactions etc. to vaccines. I applaud any effort to make vaccines safer and am aware of no one who would oppose or obstruct initiatives that make these products demonstrably safer and/or more effective.  I also think compensation is appropriate for those who have demonstrably been injured as a result of vaccination. That being said, unless you are trained in how to read scientific studies, I encourage you first to attend a university or institute of higher learning to study how to interpret scientific studies before you continue long nights reading them. Your energies would thereby be better spent in the long term and your opinions may change as a result.  See my next post for the other question you pose.


Get insurance, pharma and hospitals out of stock market. Then America will have a chance over wall Street and stock portfolios. When stockholders are more important than the health of a nation then that nation will not endure. American's to be so rich, so powerful is so blind.

The "may contain nuts" warning is a common legal cover to prevent lawsuits. It is used even where the presence of nuts is unlikely. McDonald's has a low-price mass market business model. That choice is their right. They should not be required to serve special needs niche markets. If you can't eat at McDonald's, eat somewhere else.

McDonald's blunt announcement may be another sign that we've entered a new age where tails will no longer wag dogs. In that spirit, it's time for the media to leave SJW whines and campaigns in the Twitterverse where they belong. Let's have more stories of majority interest.


I read somewhere that Matt Continetti is married to William Kristol's daughter. The DC political establishment is a hotbed of nepotistic incest. Philosophically & ideologically inbred exhibiting strong characteristics of avarice and lust for power. Drain the swamp. Lock them up.


I knew Trump would be awful, but I never imagined he could be this atrocious.  America needs a "real" President.  Trump is a racist, sexist, con artist who preys on the mentally weak.  Sad.

Yes, a trip to Hope is always a chance for the bear to reform his/her life.

Rugged Island would be a better point of departure, part of the 'bear endurance and survival skills re-training program' sponsored by the department of corrections. An outreach program from Spring Creek.

{Since there's no credible college of higher knowledge to train those non-humans, in detail of interaction with people; perhaps a 'trump university' course on urban survival.
Who'd give a bear credit, with no more collateral than the fur on its back?}

Where's a bear to turn for a survival pack of goodies, without the grief or torment losing ones skin to a kinder and gentler species? ;)


Hypocrisy!.

In 2018, the Jays will be older and slower. The Yankees and Red Sox will dominate the division for the next 5 years. Baltimore will slowly slip into mediocrity and Tampa will continue to perkily hang around.

If the Jays are in any way serious about competing with the Yankees and Red Sox by 2020, they'll start the tear down with releasing Bautista...in November.

To me, the proposed law itself looks like a no brainer, at least. It really seems pretty smart and well-thought out, about as much as we can expect from a government dominated, historically, by extractive industries, ranchers and farmers and the laissez faire policies they favor.

Indeed it makes provision for the very sort of market-driven emission/pollution controls that liberals always offer to entice conservatives to stop destroying the living planet and the human future on it.


Because recounts get ugly and ballots tend to "go missing" between the real vote and the recount once partisans get their mitts on them.

Why no recount in states Hillary won if all they want to do is verify the results?  After all she won New Hampshire with a much smaller margin than Trump won these states they are recounting.  Why no recount there?

Lets stop pretending that this is an attempt to verify that the election was clean.


It's an offer, not an agreement. High school players will often receive offers from many schools. At some point they might make a verbal commitment, but nothing is binding until they actually sign with a school, usually on national signing day of their senior year, or even later. Nothing unusual about offers being extended early in a high school kid's career. It shows interest, and begins the relationship building part of recruiting.


My thank you card is my big check.


America has the Presidential candidates it deserves - one, a promoter of abortion and immorality; the other, a crude free-market capitalist. It's the fruit of American "Exceptionalism".


who cares what date it is?  Seriously, 9-11 didn't touch most people in colorado as it was 2000 miles away. Kiz is just trying to do his usual crap.


Definitely not DACA material. He was deported in 2012 and turned over to Mexican authorities.

Good luck to all involved!!!!


Next time leave the French at home.


#AlternativeFacts - does the year matter? Hey, at least they got the name correct and what happened to him.

At least the paper could add a footnote (like other big name news sources do) stating what was corrected if there was a factual error in an earlier version.


The Hatch Act became Federal Law in 1939 and was initially proposed by Republicans as a means of countering what they saw as excesses by (Democratic) Roosevelt administration appointees accused of meddling in local elections.

The Office of the Special Counsel is an independent organization created by law in 1979 to protect whistleblowers from retaliation and ensure that there was not improper influence by the executive branch in elections and campaigns.

Enforcement of the Hatch Act has nothing to do specifically with Democrats and Robert Mueller has nothing to do with the Office of the Special Counsel.


A CBS commentator just revealed what she and CBS think of country music fans


Every country in the world including the USA gives subsidies to major companies.  Does anyone remember the millions of dollars in bailout money the US government gave to Chrysler to keep it viable.  Perhaps we need subsidies and maybe we don't I do not know for sure.  However business is business and as it stands we need to support those who support us, the USA does not however we do have agreements in place with Mexico and Europe, we need to focus on those markets and reduce the amount of focus on the USA.


I'm not talking about subsidization. I'm talking about regulation that would keep the pharmaceutical and insurance companies in check.


No offense, Monica, but if you are not sure that "anyone is really listening to anyone else", why do you bother to post?  People do respond to your messages from time to time, so it appears that someone is listening.  I'm just not clear about why you would write something like that -- unless it's an attempt to be clever.


White men, without a college degree, make up the largest part of the Republican base.

White women, with a college degree, make up the Democratic base.


Come on, everyday is a weekend at the the government offices. They even have time to take on 2nd jobs like Caldwell which only proves they don't really work at all. LOL


More bullying from Putrumpski. What a clown.


Have you considered the possibility that perhaps people are working past age 65 just so that they can keep up with paying the bills?

Heck...you need two jobs in Ontario just to pay your electricity bill.  And after 14 years of Liberals, it's difficult to find even one job.


Today, he is not counsel. I have shown his posts to a lawyer I know and after shaking his head at post no. 12 he said, "No, he is obviously close to the system, a court clerk, a maintenance worker in the court house or  something similar but I can tell he is not a lawyer."


Sounds a lot like natural law.


Obama's winning the popular vote was not surprising as his handlers employed every scare tactic and mass mobilization at their disposal, with the full cooperation of the fawning media. Krauthammer's opinion pieces are significantly more analytical and prescient than his leftist opponents, and much better reads.


Assuming "John Barron" did write the original article, then Mr. Barron must know whereof he speaks, and presumably acts accordingly.


Anchorage voters need to know that in the April 5 article by Tegan Hanlon, Tegan falsely stated that I told her that I ran to promote my book – I have demanded of her immediate supervisors that the ADN provide me a phone transcript of the interview which I plan to use in a defamation suit. As a result of Tegan’s patently false statement I have received the absolutely predictable defamation insults from the public. I made manifestly clear to Tegan – both in the phone interview and in previous emails to her – that the ONLY reason I ran is to inform the ASD parent population of the 4 issues already (during my “candidacy”) well-disseminated in print and over the air. Because of the disgusting assault on our children by treasonously negligent administrators, school board members and politicians continuing now after 25 yrs. I will be spending the bulk of my effort overseas. One day the children of today will look back in absolute disgust at the trashing of their champions.


I snorkel on East Oahu 4-5 times a week. The number of species I used to see has declined dramatically even within the last few years.. If you're worried that "...my kids won’t be able to enjoy fish in an aquarium..." then take them snorkeling. The fish they won't see are the fish that have already been depleted from "taking". Besides, there are plenty of good photos online.

Like it or not, with this email indictment behind her, Clinton strolls into the WH.  Voters will have forgotten/become bored with Emailgate by then, just as they are with Benghazi.

And it's entirely the republicans' fault.  They're nominating perhaps the only person in America that can lose to Clinton.


It really was a shame about the camera man in Quebec. It is always a shame when innocents get killed by zealots. As to people like Kim (or Hitler or Madur0 or other despot criminals) I am not ashamed to say  that the world would be a better place if they were to find the kind of misfortune they bestow upon others.


Good piece - another thing that would help is for word to get out to would-be attackers that the souls of Salman Abedi and other “martyrs” before him are swimming in the entrails of swine for all eternity.


And not everyone liked Obama.   It's just that when Obama was president, we dealt with it maturely.

You can say all you like about Trump being brusque and even uncouth  -- but the Left's reaction since the election is far worse.


This is not news.  Controlling Forex is necessary for countries whose economy and currency stability is propped up by foreign reserves.  China is no exception.  What is different is the increased degree of control.  This makes it harder for the average Joe to get Forex.  And will increase the amount of bribery needed to get hands on foreign currency.  In this way, the Chinese Communist government is like Wynne / Trudeau.  When the coffers dry up, make up some new rule to restrict access so people needing access have to seek alternative methods, like attending lavish dinner parties.


That's right, I didn't present a "god" argument, I presented a good argument. You just aren't open to reason.


I'm sure you think the comments to which I was referring are perfectly sensible.
You're the type who will do or say anything for your agenda, just like they are.
What makes you think I'm angry?  Oh, because that's how you WANT me to be.  I could look you in the eye and call you an idiot or a liar and not be one bit angry.
If you're looking for people being angry, why aren't you commenting to those on this thread who really ARE?  Because they're your buddies?


Newspapers are fighting for their lives these  days. I want local news and professional journalism. ADN is losing the battle and is not keeping their pages fresh on the web site which I pay for. They are becoming more like FOX tv and repeating the same things over and over.  National ownership may mean less local news if people do not support the local papers with their advertising dollars and readership.


Is the real purpose, for studying other inhabitable Earths, is to colonize those planets, because mother Earth is dying?


The reason for the war was because Southern leaders refused to accept the results of an election that brought in an anti-slavery administration.  But even before that administration took office, they passed ordinances of secession that -- uniformly -- mentioned the preservation of slavery as their key goal.  And yes, Lee fought to maintain that.

In response to all of this, Lincoln fought to preserve the union.  Over time, he realized that freeing the slaves was a key step to victory.  But since he didn't start the war, his motivation wasn't the reason for the war.

Indeed, try reading history.


Perhaps the good people of Vancouver are starting to realize that gov'ts are to be endured and not endorsed.

No matter who is running, no matter what the election result, the end outcome is more taxes being collected and spent less than wisely.


LOL...regular or ultra?


strange that we have money and space for heated tents in Quebec to house refugees but no tents for homeless across the country


I watched way too much Gavel Alaska last session. Dogs getting more rights in divorce court. That quite an accomplishment in this fiscal climate.   Maybe you can explain one more time why the poorest among us don't deserve health care?

It time for new energy. Jason Grenn all the way.


They THINK they lead functional lives...but of course they ARE mentally ill....😉


another left winger with no repect for tax payers, tell me pal, if the cbc is so great why cant the manage by advertising like the others do without a dime of tax subsidy? ooh see the cbc ratings are the lowest of all canadian networks because only sheep like you watch it


And just where did you find this inside information, BS?  But, hey, just shoot first and ask questions later.  Got it that you live up to your to your name.


Well some are dying rich.


No doubt it will more than confuse our PM, this will not end well for Canada. Oh well we will all be able to smoke it up next year and stutter along like Little Potatoe.


The problem with predicting the direction of the Canadian dollar, or anything else for that matter, is that it is very hard to do.


There was stories about how the women who make her awful, overpriced clothing overseas didn't receive maternity leave.


The level of grift and corruption, back door lobbying in this administration is sickening to watch. Growing up we were taught all about democracy, and how we are a just system of checks and balances. It is apparent that we have been lied to. The fox truly is in the hen house, we see now that our elected officials (i.e.Congress) are not on the grift, then for the most part they are spineless cowards, who are much more worried about the future of their job than actually doing their job. When has the voice of the average American  ceased to have any relevance whatsoever. The grift is sickening.


Good luck finding one that is as contemporary as this story. It never works out for Republicans.


Horse manure.  She lost cause not enough people believed she's a leader.  Many thought she simply couldn't be trusted, anymore that Bill could be in a room full of young women in short skirts.


Bono’s performance was weak. We’ll need to leverage the Access to Information Act to learn how much was wasted bringing him in. Let’s find out if DiCaprio was flown in too so the 3 stooges can sit down for dinner tonight and develop Canadian policy.


Father's Day will be a bit subdued this year.


A stunt? Is that why Trudeau's staffers were out knocking BC and Clark? Because she would not bow down to them. If the PMO's short pants gang think this is over in BC, they are sadly mistaken.


I probably fly at least fifty times a year unfortunately. I quit flying Alaska air when able due to their rude staff. As stated, they create problems when there is not a problem. The flight attendants are like aggressive cops looking for a confrontation. This fellow could have had a drink or two but was then bullied by a flight attendant and was not aware enough to realize he was getting set up. Instead of defusing situations airports escalate situations. They are like attack dogs. Overzealous work!
I avoid Alaska airlines whenever possible and airports in general as well.


He Rex at least you're consistent and lie and act like your not so erudite orange groper hero.


When Chump starts giving BIG business owners BIG tax breaks they might hire more people. Those  will pay more taxes and by more taxes I mean that he will raise the middle class taxes to the point that we all become lower class. If you think that Chump is doing this for the people, you've been under water for wayyyyyy tooooo long


Trump is an idiot. No other President in history has relied upon a tv show for information  in place of intelligence that has been fact checked.  Aside from that, Trump did lie because he repeated the same lie for days, well after he had been told the "information" upon which he relied was untrue. In fact, he's still repeating it.


Enough of this nonsense.


The truly sad part of this is that the provincial standard is just a B- or equivalent to 70%. Apparently the ministry finds this to be an acceptable level of mastery. The fact that fewer than 50% of grade 6 students master more than 70% of the curriculum is down right appalling, but it doesn't tell us anything about the students who fall in the 70%-80% range which should be unacceptable as well. If the ministry raised it's standard to 80% which is where I think it should be, how many kids would fail to meet it?


Ohhhh like this same comment of yours twice??? LOL


Alaska is a train wreck.  A corrupt, mismanaged, third world train wreck.  Giving money to Alaska is not a good idea, at all.  The money will only be mismanaged and quickly wasted.  There needs to be an adult in the room.  The feds are the adult, or at least they should be playing that role.  Murkowski - be an adult please.  (No sense in asking Sullivan or Young to be an adult).


“Our goal is to have an event that is carbon neutral, plastic free, paper low and produces zero waste,” really? And people are advised to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by riding bicycles?

What about the 8000+ visitor riding CO2 spewing jet aircraft all around the globe to get here and then again back home?

At the 2012 IUCN World Conf in Korea, aviation was responsible for nearly 90% of total GHG emissions, and that figure was arrived at by ignoring climate science. For example, the IPCC has estimated that the climate impact of aircraft is 2-4 times the effect of CO2 emissions alone. These extra factors are usually included in aviation CO2 calculations (RF), but IUCN ignored them in 2012?

Will IUCN take the low road again in calculating Carbon offsets needed to be neutral? This issue is thousands of times more important than riding bicycles.

Let's hope Chad or Nathan look into the issue of aviation CO2-eq (very relevant to Hawaii). This would be journalism, not IUCN PR.


So I don't misunderstand you -- are you saying you don't see any examples to cite?

I had some possibilities in mind, but it was your point, so I wanted to see what you thought might fit your criteria.


I am glad they hired someone with this kind of experience. He does need to get out and talk to or survey average users. His priorities should be:
a) Get the commuter trains moving. It takes 1 hour and 15 mins on an "express" train to go 30 miles on GO Transit. That's not even in the ballpark for a service standard. It should take 30 minutes or less for that trip.
b) Automate the system as soon as possible. He could then run more trains, more often.
Point A could be fixed immediately, automation will take some time.


Winning an election does confer wisdom or legitimacy where there is none. The biggest losers will be the poor sods who voted for Trump, thinking there was something in it for them. They are the first to go under the bus. Are you actually enjoying the embarrassing spectacle of the Trump Crazy Train roaring right off the rails? Give yourself a big attaboy.


Nice article. I think the government's time/money/effort would be better spent on improving mental health services. IMO this investment would probably have a better chance of reducing gun violence/deaths in America than the direct regulation of firearms. Mass shootings are obviously terrible.  After one happens, there seems to be a sense that we must "do something".  The problem is that those trying to "do something" don't really appreciate the complex nature of the problem.  Study gun violence, identify the most relevent factor(s), and take meaningful steps to address these factors.

It's just sickening.  The legislative session should be renamed  the" B.S. How can we keep swindling the state  session".


Good. It would be great if we could rid ourselves of minimum-wage jobs. Are you a minimum wage job?


That's scary....


Yup.  We looooved American tourists even though they were inveterate boors, since overtipping as compensation was de rigeur.


A good idea-but one where we do need to proceed very carefully. China guards its economy very tightly and has far too many state controlled companies for an economy as large as it's.  China likes to buy foreign companies such as ours, but does not allow its own companies to be bought by foreigners. China has spied on us and stolen our technology and we must remember that and the fact that it is a dictatorship. Piecemeal may be the way to go-buy our oil, gas and wheat but not the companies that make it.


I don't shop much in Anchorage, but have always had a soft spot for the Carrs-Sears Mall.  Partially due to memories as a youngster visiting Annabelle with my grandmother, who helped knit booties for Annabelle as well.

I've always wanted to see the mall attract larger retailers so that it would become a "One Stop Shop Mall".  As a male, I detest all forms of shopping.  Not sure if it's a male DNA thing or what.
It's too bad Sears hasn't done better here in AK.  I use to spend quite a bit of money at Sears during the holidays and wish I knew what happened with AK chains.  Our Valley location has downsized as well and wonder how much longer it will last.

  I want to enter one end of the mall and circle back.  I won't bother to exit the mall to walk around to Nordstrom Rack.  They should be part of the mall in my opinion, not just hanging around.  Hopefully  Nordstrom Rack will listen to it's customers as well as the other merchants.


Methinks YOU need to do more homework. Get to know the state you live in and its people, regardless of race or where they live, with an open mind. You live a beautiful state, with many beautiful people. Broaden your horizon.......


Can you explain that? There are reports everywhere of green card holders being denied entry to the US today. US citizens cannot be turned back at the border, but green card holders are still in the citizenship process and don't have any kind of constitutional guarantee.

I've seen an argument that it might not be legal to discriminate against green card holders on the basis of nationality, but there is nothing in the text of Trump's executive order that exempts them.


What on earth does that have to do with the topic?


No comments from the 49-year-old Mandan still attending UH. I think the finally arrested Allie! LOL


Diversity is just code for: " No dogs and white males allowed on premises"


I haven't read Ibbittson in ages and didn't this time, either. I just came in to say he sucks.


Yes that exact scenario (frustrated gun owners in political debates) make approximately 98.6% of all murders in this nation.


Our congress persons and staff should have to try and live on $7.25 an hour, really it would take 3 jobs to make a living at that rate. Even in the lower 48  it's tough to make it on minimum wage, I had 4 jobs in NE, one at 7.25 (cattle sale barn), one at 11.00 and two at 15.00. All were seasonal or part time. The small town's there were falling apart, replaced by more centralized shopping and living centers. Most of the young people went east to Omaha or west to Denver or north to Rapid City. Agriculture continues to be expensively mechanized and fewer people do the work.


RTP is from federal highway funds, managed by the state.


You seem to be ignoring the fact that with dividend growth stocks that 3, 4, or 5% yield is generally a perpetual yield as the cash paid grows alongside the capital.

Which quickly puts the dividend stock on even footing or better than a 10% bond.  Even more so if taxation is a consideration.

Nope.
The "like" was attached to the deleted comment - hours after it was deleted.
It is still there....

The reason?  Easy enough to determine.  The one I am referring to came from someone who posts smiley faces on practically everything I post - when a comment that was deemed uncivil was attached to a comment of mine, I am sure said poster thought it was fabulous.

No matter, really.  I just find it....odd.


Why, Sha... you just opened your mouth. Thanks.


If there are more people registered to vote than PFD recipients, there are obviously too many people ineligible to vote on the voter rolls, which would explain the low turnouts (which are percentages of the total number of registered voters).  Voter rolls are only purged when a person doesn't vote for 2 successive presidential elections.  Now, if Ballot Measure 1 included a better way to purge the voter rolls and keep them current, I would vote for it.


Maybe you should educate, and seek emotional counselling


How about Old Stock Alex who blew a bunch of praying men away this week? If those are "Canadian values" he holds, I'm sure glad not to share them.


Hope they remember to design tent cities for the homeless and druggies into their "park vision," then this plan will be comparable to San Francisco.


As you said you are who your are based on your words and by just noting that the law enforcement system is run by whites shows your bitter racism. So I bet it really burns you up to see our Country run by a Black man? I do not care at all who has what job as well as they are competent and earned the job and it was not given to them due to any other reason then they were the most eligible. Obviously a persons race has a big impact on how you see them.....sorry for this but dont know what to tell ya....maybe get over it and move on? The whale slaughter is not words I made up, research the article, they admitted it and the VPSO, who is not White but native, concurred. Sorry to burst your bubble.


You knocked the bar down trying to clear it Chris.


A list of things no teen said ever, I can't wait to be abstinent, I wish my parents where more involved with teaching me about sex, I don't want to know anything about sex, No don't show me a picture of the opposite sex naked, or same sex depending on teen. Well this is pretty much true for all mammals. I hate to break it to people but humans have three main instincts food, survival, reproduction. In fact the sexual instinct is so strong in Humans their are 7.4 Billion of Us, and I know no one wants their kid to grow up but pretending you where a result of emasculate conception, or that you never had sex outside of marriage is well just silly. 3% of americans successfully wait I'm sure your kids one of the 3 in a hundred.   http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/health/2006-12-19-premarital-sex_x.htm


HLB  - Please explain your comment.  This isn't a choice of "Alaskans refusing" anything.  This is about typically being deceived by corporate interests [big shocker]; those assets are owned by Hilcorp - lock, stock and barrel.  Are you saying it's the populace's/state's responsibility to support what the market won't bear?  That is, if Hilcorp cannot afford to repair purchased but aged-out infrastructure how in the heck are we as Alaskans responsible for that?


Dear Zoe,
Please read Atlas Shrugged, if you haven't yet.  When I read it the first time, there were four times that it got thrown against the barracks wall to lie still on the floor for from 4 days to a week.  This is just to warn you that you should continue after any such rejection of something said by one of the characters.


We're at a point in time where the EPA can't be counted on to protect our interests as residents of Colorado.  I for one am thankful that the CDPHE can be more stringent than the EPA is willing to be. Strange times we live in.


They are trained to say the inane that doesn't bother anyone.


Feeding a hungry child has never bothered me, I dont mind paying for them to eat something at school so they can learn better.  Its not their fault.  However, tight oversight needs to be implemented here to stave off abuse of the program by parents who keep having kids with no plan for their upbringing, and providing a steady income to do so.  I refused to have my first child until I had something to offer a family: a nice home, good career, and most importantly parental readiness and lots of love.


Rather  than restrict the costs; why not enhance revenues,  and let those who wish a better bundle of services than " standard" , to pay more?


I didn't even think about what would happen when the rail was shut down for investigation.  And the terrorism aspect of it all.  What happens if people are too scared to ride it because crime or a terroristic attack or threatening.  Bomb threats will also shut down the rail. Or imagine a package left on the rail that is ticking or that releases a chemical or a powder. Sure it might be a package with drugs because of the all drugs that will be trafficked around the island with the rail, but you can't tell what it is and the rail would need to be shut down to figure it out or contain the chemical.
Thank you for your post.  I enjoy engaging in intelligent discussion on this site.

I feel bad for that "Football" player. Just because Margie was drunk doesn't make him a rapist or potential rapist.

I have seen the 113 billion cost of our 11 million undocumented "illegal" residents on FOXNews. I believe it originated at The Heritage Foundation and is widely disputed, especially by government agencies that track these things. It is baloney for right-wingers to chew on while cursing Mexicans. I hope that doesn't include you; sadly,it included my late father who became addicted to Lou Dobbs. But generally, it is based on The Heritage Foundation report that each illegal immigrant family cost $14,387 above what they contributed to the economy and in local, state, federal, and SSI and Medicare contributions.    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_impact_of_illegal_immigrants_in_the_United_States

It is generally the consensus of all government departments that overall, illegal immigrants contribute far more than they take. In addition, when adjusted for sex and age cohorts, illegal immigrants are far less likely than citizens to commit felonies.

I would like to see your citations.


Strong and wrong beats weak and right any day of the week. And based on your comment I'd add also tha ignorance is bliss. Perhaps you should try to educate you on how the world economy's work together.
