I am not sure what the problem is

During the last low - dollar high tax rate differential with the USA (under Chretien), the country lost somewhere around 300,000 professionals.

This accomplishes two things - it leaves behind a greater percentage of the population that is employed by governments at all levels, which ensures the re-election of governments who favour these classes.

In addition, it creates a new field of work for these bureaucrats - creating soft programs like billboards in Silicon Valley trying to lure back the same people who where driven out by these programs....

I wonder what the next campaign will be? "Come back for the weather. Stay for the lower dollar, and higher taxes..."


Alex Demarban, you are a very good reporter, but you would be an even better reporter if you more accurately described what the House Republicans did today.  You reported that they met in a "...two- hour, closed door caucus..."   This phraseology does not convey how evil these meetings are.

It would be better if you reported that these crooks met in secret.  No reporters, no members of the public allowed.  If the public tried to observe, they would be arrested.

If elected officials from the political subdivisions of Alaska did this- they would literally be committing a crime.  But the legislature exempts itself from the laws others are expected to follow.

All of these miserable, corrupt people need to be overthrown, before they completely destroy our state.


If gay priests had been barred from the priesthood in the first place, the costs associated with straight priests involved in pedophilia/ephebophilia would have been a drop in the bucket compared to the costs involving gay priests.  The numbers do not lie.


Stopping the move to mailboxes instead of door to door delivery was one of the worst things the Liberals did when they got elected. They can spin this all they want but the numbers don't lie and we the taxpayer are on the hook for it. By the way, the mailbox for my house was installed the week before the election and there have been no issues since it was put in.


Somehow I expected more than a link. That being said why the indecision as to which link to post? Is the NYT more credible than ProPublica ?

Quite so! The tax returns tell the tale, and a whole lot more. And under the proper investigation can  be called as evidence. Trump ran the Miss Universe Pageant in Russia...  The Washington Post "flow chart" of relationships has only skimmed the surface. Yes, subpoena the tax returns.


“We’re not good enough to come on the road and not play as hard as possible for 48 minutes,” Malone said. “I can only do so much. I can’t motivate 15 individual players and give them a ‘rah-rah’ speech." ~ QUOTED FROM THE ARTICLE
-----------------------
These words coming from a head coach, one who has never had one winning season, never been to one playoff game as head coach, even though the bar in the NBA is set so low when it comes to low seeds making the playoffs.
Go ahead Mr. Malone, throw the players under the bus, the last loser who was head coach just before you did that, it worked real well.
Sadly, Denver fired a winning coach, one who the year he was fired, took a young inexperienced team to the playoffs, receiving "Coach of the Year". He took Denver to the playoffs consistently, year in, year out. He was replaced with two losers, ones who never achieved anything in the NBA as a head coach, ones who the owner said he wanted to take the team "deeper into the playoffs".


Markov was an outstanding defense player in Habs history. He recently matched Guy Lapointe performance. Yet Larry Robinson was the exceptional and best ever defense player of Habs along with Doug Harvey of another era.


Good to see that the shoe will be on the other foot then. Rent is ridiculously over priced in this area and landlords have been renting really crappy apartments at a premium because rentershad few options. Not everybody can afford to buy a home, so they rent out of necessity. I know so many people that pay more than
50% of their income to rent an apartment. And most of them spend food money on rent because they have to choose one or the other. I think it's fine that apartment owners want to make money. We all do. But do they have to be so greedy about it? Just because you can doesn't mean you should. People aren't getting a living wage most of the time so cut them a break and lower rent. If you don't, your competition will.


Too funny.

No little fella, it is not.

A 22 fold increase over 40 years equates to an approximately 8% growth rate.

A six fold increase over 20 years equates to a greater than 9% annual growth rate.

You sure are clever. By the way, the obvious flaw in your arithmetic comparison  is so obvious, a smart 4th grader should be able to figure it out. I'll leave it as a little puzzle for you. Genius.

Regardless for the record, even with a drop in the annual increase of the Muslim population to 7%, in 60 years that translates to approximately 60 million people. Let's take 2/3 of that and say 45 million.

As I stated, and as is exactly true, without a change in demographic trends, and unless muslims in Canada suddenly catch this secularism trend you're all excited about, Canadians will be regularly hearing the call of the muezzin within 60 years.


The platform already exists. Take a look at edx.org with 90 universities and institutes.

"Founded by Harvard University and MIT in 2012, edX is an online learning destination and MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses) provider, offering high-quality courses from the world’s best universities and institutions to learners everywhere." - edx.org


Sounds like a win for state sovereignty.


I think Trump and the military industrial complex has already allowed the Russians to establish a base in Area 51. You may want to investigate this but I must give you a trigger warning that this may cause nightmares

Monica...I'm having a simplistic morning. I went back and looked at those 10 steps and the Journalism one seemed both central and foundational...i.e. Good accurate data on which to base conclusions ( http://freespeechdebate.com/en/principle/p-4/)

Without accurate data,..it would seem that the edifice comes  tumbling down....is this article to be taken seriously? I admit to some difficulties.


I heard it from a reliable source, one I can't tell you about but it's a great source, believe me I know more about sources than anybody, and this source said that Donald Chump made a deal with Putin to remove the sanctions if Putin would have his people spread fake news and rig the election to that Chump could win. I'm hearing from lots of people that Flynn is just the fall guy.


This is a surprising - and disappointing - editorial from CB. The Jones Act requires cargo shipped among US ports to be on US vessels with 75% US crewmembers. Why are we advocating the elimination of jobs for Americans? Look at the issues around long line fishing vessels that are excluded from requirements to use American workers. If we want good jobs to exist for America workers, we need to support the infrastructure and laws that allow for those jobs.


Nonsense.
This is the sort of rubbish people get when they're forced to vote for the lesser of two evils.
The odious comparison makes the lesser of the corrupt, greedy, hypocritical, treacherous look good  Think Mussolini in comparison to Hitler.
 Far from being exceptional, Trudeau has shown his real colors as merely another member of the uber establishment International Oligarchs.
  Breaking every election promise and betraying the "progressive" change he represented, he's now merely another lying purveyor of wealth to the 1%,  struggle for the rest.
  Betraying the large number of Canadians who want a more democratic election system, Trudeau has joined the US in maintaining the old status quo  FPTP. Canadians are now set up again to vote in the next election for the lesser of the two evils.


And so many other things. I've been censored for intolerance toward Trump and his cabinet, despite the fact that my comments were both true. I miss Disqus, where I didn't have to answer three to five questions before posting mine. I've also found I have to judge comments about which I know nothing such as some sports topics. Seems there's no "I don't know" option.


It's not news that someone said it; "They" always reference "disproportionate" numbers when citing victim stats.  Now if "They" admitted the "disproportionate" numbers on the other side of the gun, THAT would be newsworthy.


Maximum security prison for hardened criminals and no parole.


Really?  The Globe is that hard up for articles that they thought this was newsworthy?


McCain is clearly the true Manchurian politician. He is undermining the U.S. border security and standing in the world.  Truly helping Putin.


It doesn't matter, whether the officers, are innocent or guilty.

The general public's perceptions, as well as this criminal case, will always be inside the officers' personnel files.

If there is a future criminal case, this criminal case, will be used as evidence, for the future criminal case, to establish a pattern of behavior.

The good officers, who were defamed, should transfer out to another government job, after the smoke clears away.


Hacking into someone's email is illegal and unethical, just as burglarizing someone's files or wiretapping their office.  Selective release of emails is unethical.  This is a fairly simple moral question.  I thought you only used this alias for abuse scandal postings.

In this news article, Tory says he has a plan to "fix traffic".  Is there anything more to that plan than doing the repairs to roads that should have already been done by now?  The City of Toronto seems to love cement.  I see lots of brand new cement sidewalks and brand new cement street curbs.  But not nearly as much emphasis on fixing cracked and broken streets.  Is there some sort of pro-cement, anti-asphalt bias at City Hall?


Jeff Stahley, Your information about Hawaii's judiciary is irrelevant.  Derrick Watson is a federal judge.


But Alaska is a state.  Reality: Try it sometime Trumperbelle.


Ex-HPD officer have gone on to distinguish themselves in other organizations.  Some may work for a federal agency or may have gone on to many other jobs in various employment positions.  HPD does not define a person.  It does not require a employee service contract, a non compete clause, and there is no signing bonus.  One works until he decided to seek other employment or gets another job.  Working to get 25 years of service and retirement at 55 years of age is not happening.  Those days are gone and people want lives that may be more suitable to travel and economic opportunities,  Forty three thousand  for recruitment to be spread around to 11 officers is not really that impressive.  Now, a $43,000 bonus per officer over and above one yearly salary...that's interesting.


Yes, I've never understood that. Shouldn't they at least have regular buses meeting the trains to go into town?

Non sequitur?  Not in the least.  You asserted a criterion ("attacking virtually every Christian value…”) for excluding a presidential candidate from the Al Smith Dinner.  My question stands on its own; it does not relate to Clinton.

Donald Trump is a vulgar boor who has built his presidential campaign on xenophobia, racism, misogyny and nativism.  He ridicules  women, mocks the disabled and attacks racial, ethnic and religious minorities.  He's pretty much the textbook definition of a fascist.  He’s a serial adulterer and accused rapist and molester.  The question is: Using your criterion, does he get invited to the dinner?

Not for nothing, but: Her pro-choice voting record and policies notwithstanding, Clinton has done more to reduce the number and the rate of abortions in this country that Trump ever has or ever will.


Catholic schools will help troubled neighborhoods, although they may have left because of the troubles, rather than their leaving being the last straw. The new legislation is a good start, but there is a long way to go.  Make social benefits, like the minimum wage and the child tax credit, adequate ($15/hour, $100)/child/month), with paid literacy and job training for anyone after sophomore year at the higher minimum and an end to the drug war and amnesty for prisoners and these neighborhoods will turn around overnight.


Good news.


For goodness sake.
Nobody seriously thinks globalists are a  group of rouge jews.

fantastic journalism!


Sounds like an excellent case for permanent incarceration in some contract prison in China or Africa.


Outsourcing jobs is a business tactic necessary in this country to remain competitive. Until something changes on that national level to keep those jobs here, companies cannot be competitive and remain operational paying the higher costs to keep their manufacturing here. That is basic business. The change needs to happen from the national level.

I won't touch the small guy comment as I've addressed that in the past. I believe that is more of a media tactic than anything.

Besides, I am suppose to expect the other side to be looking out for the small guy? Here, lets raise taxes on everyone. Oh, by the way, we are adding a tax that will tax 401k transactions. Thats ACTUALLY Hilary's tax plan. Why don't we start by cutting some of the broken government programs and try to find ways to cut spending. We can start with Obamacare. It's gotta go. It isn't working.

Or shoot, if we are going to sell our secrets, at least let that money to into the general fund instead of Hillary's account...


HART's latest projections are still incomplete and incorrect.  They do not include the city- required $35 million of reserves for the G.O. bonds.  Bond proceeds appear to be incorrect -- they're listed at $390 when only $350 was approved by council.  Other revenue shown at $7 million is actually lower than audited amounts.  The legislature should not pass any tax extension or increase.


I'm sure it was before your time, but the institutional Church has a long history of social, community, employment, educational discrimination against those in "irregular" situations which led to a LOT of heartache to those involved, including children within those families.  Most of it seems to have disappeared with cultural changes since the 1960's, but it was at least equal to the injustice the LGBT community still experiences.


There is no doubt in my mind that the greatest hurdle the US bishops face is one of relevance. One can be a "culture  warrior" and stick your head in the sand or one can show true leadership and face the issues. Some issues are out of their hands but ways are available to soften the detrimental effects. Why some bishops cannot even go this far speaks volumes of their formation.

Christ spoke many times of the sin of self-righteousness yet our clerics still have not learned the lesson.


I hate to toot my own horn...BUT if we implemented my Economic Plan, our financial rating would vastly increase - enabling cheaper borrowing for everybody (including the State).


So I will clean up my previous post. I as an Alaska outdoorsman must judge a moose to be 50" or greater or suffer a fine and penalties, just rcd. notice that a course must be passed prior to hunting moose in units 7 and 15 to properly identify! You almost need a lawyer to decipher all laws required by the same people responsible for this shoot first fiasco. Now we have supposed professional staff that have the id of a black faced bear ALREADY shot and they shoot 3 others prior to hopefully getting the right one. Sounds like the old poachers "ground checking" to me. The race was over a young man lost his life and now for pure political gotta show em we are in control this happens. How many of you hailing this activity are anti hunters? We live in Alaska this is a wild place and things happen that we all feel terrible about, animal attacks, drownings and the list goes on, we CHOOSE to be here! It doesn't make it right to let these hired "experts" go about things this way.


Paul Jenkins: "An edited video by James O'Keefe's controversial Project Veritas Action purports to show..."

O'Keefe has had to settle, i.e. pay money for other things he has 'purported to show'. O'Keefe is a known partison falsifier of documentation. This Jenkins hit-piece tries to combine folksy semi-history with some topical semi-calumny.
Grow a truth-seeking spirit of journalism, Paul, if it isn't too late, or stay forever on the also-wrote op-eds.


We've all known people who are poor losers.  Get beaten in any game, and they pout or throw things, make excuses and blame everyone except themselves.  If their friends don't ban them, eventually those same players will win at something. Surprise, they are also poor winners, strutting and bragging, disrupting the game.  Politics is a lot like that, except the childishness is very surprising in those apparently adult.
Republicans acted like spoiled brats when Barack Obama won his two elections, and pouted for eight years.  Now they have won, their behavior is just as bad.  They taunt and boast and tear down, taking every chance to dismantle a government by and for all the people.  Eventually the cycle will turn and they will lose badly, even though they won't believe it now, and their behavior will come back to bite them.


I don't bother getting very deep with those who vocabulary includes "dorked" as it has proven fruitless - sorry.

Great article on best Blue Jay ever. Fans don't have to like the best but you know who they are. In NY or Boston would have carried them to multiple world series wins.


Brilliant, we'll give away those things that MAKE money and keep those things that cost taxpayers (military, health care, consumer protection from monopolistic businesses ...).
Here's what I see.
Conservatives like small government so they starve it.
Small government can't protect the public and hold elite corporate interests to account.
Mission accomplished.


That or they enjoy staying fit and looking good...


The problem is even worse than described, with an even narrower portion of the population actually paying taxes - the childless.  The new Child Benefit has effectively taken millions more off the tax rolls who were once productive taxpayers.   The Child Benefit is the main driver of the new, much larger deficit and it somehow always escapes notice of the Trudeau critics.  It also seems to have escaped notice of conservative writers that the Child Benefit is a huge new state intrusion into child rearing, making the state the daddy and the childless a new class of Canadian serfs.  Stalin would be very proud of his disciple in the P.M.O..


I hope you reported that?  If not please do....


I believe him.  My company wants to launch another line of product, which I was going to back the startup capital.  Guess what?  No money from me means no product, no launch, no expansion, no new job, no contracts for marketing folks, packaging folks and delivery folks.  It's already decided and done.  I never ever considered conservatives, but methinks it's time to actually donate so we can get some reason back into government.


Beautiful story, Dermot! Happy anniversary to you and Debbie.

Hi Keala, I will have to look further into Hawaii's sunshine law to more fully answer your question. Here's what I do know; the proposed association is not an "agency, board, commission, authority, or committee." According to Egged, the group is private and nongovernmental. The existing special improvement districts (Waikiki, Fort Street Mall and Waikiki Beach) have associations which are also not subject to sunshine.


At best, putting such a question on the ballot was a waste of time. Of course, the city has the “power” to build rail. So what? The relevant question—should it build the current proposed project?—was not plainly asked.

Worse, it was a sham. As Honolulu Star-Bulletin reporter Laurie Au noted in 2008, even a “no” vote on that ballot measure, “would have [had] no legal power in stopping the city from continuing to build a mass transit system.”

Something to keep in mind when the city tells you rail was all your idea."

The President of Purdue put the issue in its correct context. The fact a handful of people distributed flyers, (free speech), meant virtually nothing. The media's non-stop race-baiting and hysterical disinformation is equally sad and appalling but expected.

Equating WN or KKK to WWII Germany is just an outright, boldface, horrendous lie. The media blithely dismisses the tens of millions of people who were killed by Germany. The media's naked political agenda makes them "brown shirts"? Oh wait, only one political side of the coin is openly denigrated by the left-wing media's propaganda. Sorry but every person has a right to free speech. Every person. The media's opposition to free speech for Caucasians is tragically opposite of our Constitution. We don't have to agree or like the speech. Once we agree to limit free speech of one group then we've caved to fascists. Fascists like America's media.


The GOP Senate cut vet health and mental health programs. Maybe they will be willing to do the right thing now instead of making spiting Obama their top priority. Your myopia on who has been wronging vets combined with the idea that illegal immigrants and refugees are living "in the lap of luxury" give little credence to your letter.


Trudeau is working hard at dividing the country. Soros must be proud of this progressive baby...

Secretary Tillerson went to China and wanted to order a take-out of North Korea, Premier Xi said, the kitchen is closed, come back during normal hours.


I always fly Hawaiian because of the excellent service and have never seen rudeness from them, not even once.  I've seen them take some super rude behavior from customers though, always handled professionally.

We can sit in the comfort of our homes and criticize decisions made by others who are responsible for the lives of others.  I give Hawaiian the benefit of the doubt.


What will kill society and/or America first? How much we rely on computers/Internet and the attacks that come with that? Or will it be social-media posts?


Athletes actually pray for victory, and thank God when they win.  That, no doubt, comes from nations at war.  You are so right, Peter, that God doesn't take sides.  Yes, each of us has a soul which is an extension of the Divine, so God is within each of us and always present.  It is our free will and ego that cause some of us to go wrong, but God is still within all.  There is nothing anyone can do to change that.  We, in this country, have the unique view that our country is "god-ordained," as being the chosen one above all others.  That is so sad.

Trump delivers stern message to nation's journalists.
Trump bans media outlets who do not condone his views and policies.
Trump employs fascist tactic of silencing media and governing in secrecy.

Which "slant" is correct? When are situations so dire, that reporting requires emotion? Is "Pearl Harbour experiences big fire" better, or "Japs Butcher Americans"? (Which was published.) News is emotional and it requires an opinion as well as an insight into how you fit into the world. It's always best to find a news source that matches your view of the world.


Frankly, ignoring your mysogyny, Trump looks like a very large sack of raccoons.


I think it would be fair to say that they're certainly in the tank.


So how many voted and how many registered Republicans actually showed up to vote?  The turnout numbers are key.  Rest assured that now that Republicans see that by not showing up to vote their candidate won by a slim margin will motivate a higher turnout in. 2018 in the same district.

I think its funny you complain about Jess Phillips being shushed in parliament, when she herself has terrible views on male issues. The reason no one takes her seriously is she finds the idea of Men having social issues funny - re her interaction with  Philip Davies back in October  2015. There are strong women in Government - Christie Clark, Theresa May, (my own MP) Bardish Chagger,  Nicola Sturgeon, Angela Merkel - among many others. This was not Clinton's first White House attempt - she has failed multiple times and it is not all down to sexism - try an aversion to family dynasties and the Bill's presidency was fraught with controversy. The American people had many opportunities to tell Clinton that they did not want her in that office, its not sexism that she choose to ignore those warnings. But then again you have your opinion and it is clear that you are set in it. Honestly its divisive people like you that make me just want to wander off into the woods and never come back.


Dems are pretty much powerless ACH? I disagree somewhat. Though they are no longer a majority in congress, thank god, they certainly had the power to derail Trumps big plan for repeal.

You're right.  There has to be a deterrent to force them off the street.  Right now they have NO incentive to move.


Whether Vukovich had prior convictions or not, Zacklby, he has no right to anoint himself judge, jury, or executioner.  If Vukovich pulls this kind of stunt again, I hope he gets it between the eyes.


In Missouri,  first degree murder is defined as knowingly causing the death of another person after deliberation. Second degree murder is defined as knowingly causing the death of another person. The sole distinction is the element of deliberation.  Second degree murder is, therefore, a "lesser included offense." meaning that if the judge or jury found that the defendant had satisfied all the elements except for deliberation, the proper verdict would have been second degree murder.  So if the prosecutors overcharged, it would not have been to their detriment, except morally.


Did he really win fair and square? #IStandWithJohnLewis


With the UN approving the textile ban, USA can now go after any country trading with NK & USA. Advising them to make a choice. Trade with NK or USA. Can't have it both ways.
.
USA would ban all imports from countries dealing with NK after the UN ban. EU would follow our lead. Want to bet errant countries would immediately drop trade with NK.


Gosh Alfred, I'm afraid you're incorrect on all counts. Not everyone reads and relies upon the National Enquirer and the tabloids for their "news."


I don't care how you spin this, you're putting people in sheds.  At least trailers offer mobility.


Good to see that someone recognizes and acknowledges DeAngelo Henderson's journey from high school to the pros.
Hey, if Henderson continues to break on through to the other side and find his way to the end zone, so much the better.
Denver needs "The Juice" to put fear and plant the seed of doubt in the heart of heartless defenders.
You provided great insight for Denver fans. Thanks, David Southall.
As for DeAngelo, great job!
Way to tote the rock.
Maybe now we can start thinking of a scoring threat whenever a Denver running back goes overland.
We don't want field goals, we want touchdowns.
Yeeha!


Rich, you do realize that the republicans want to do some major screwing around with social security and medicare, right?  As long as you're comfortable with them privatizing SS and doing away with Medicare, replacing it with vouchers, then more power to you.  I suspect you're in the distinct minority of seniors.

'controlled' burns?  And they haven't learned from past experiences? Please.


I was planning to leave my current job to start a new business, but the plans are now put on hold. Why would I risk our personal savings and our family home with these proposed tax changes looming? Why would I subject my spouse and family to the upheaval and uncertainty, and ask for their support only to see the benefits taxed away?

If the business fails I will lose almost everything...if it succeeds then I will be taxed into oblivion...what is the point and why would anyone in their right mind do that?

To say that I am as mad as an angry hornet is putting it mildly! This crass and cynical move by the Liberals is nothing more than a blatant tax grab to pay for a bloated and wasteful government.

The federal government will never see a nickel of tax from my idea for a startup business, and no new jobs will be created here in Canada......the whole country is poorer as a result.


And, as is customary, even with a reduced number of Justices, yet two more 9th Circuit Court cases were overruled.  One per curiam, one with two dissents.


Is there pictures of the progress by chance, it would be great to see your idea:)


Rural BC relies on natural resources and Horgan is going to sewer job creators across the province with a red tape and taxes under the guise of "climate change" - because that worked so well in Ontario where people are forced to decide between paying their mortgage or power bills and the province wastes $C 12 billion/year on servicing their interest payments for the largest sub-sovereign debt in the world. The NDP's campaign is a joke - solve the real estate crisis? Wynne's policies are similar or more left to Horgan and Toronto's just as expensive as Vancouver... The NDP is a group of washed up socialists and career activists who are unapologetic in their contempt of fiscal realities. Good for you BC, you deserve what comes next.


Wow a tax free cash business !!!
Who wouldn't want to be part of that? Wish I could do that with my business !!
Perhaps they should be charged with tax evasion !
and where does this pot come from?
Ethical motorcycle aficionados no doubt.

NCR is a private business and their annual financial reports are available for any interested person to see, as your message proves. They are not withholding information from those who contribute to them.

More to the point, NCR has never shied away from shining a spotlight on Catholic organizations. At this very moment they are running a piece on the dubious financial investments of the Knights of Columbus. Knowing this publication, it is daft to think they would have any interest at all in protecting Immaculate Heart radio.

By the way, there's no such thing as a professional Catholic. There are professional people of various sorts who happen to be Catholic, but church membership in and of itself is not a paid position. Would that it was.


JSB,
You don't know what you're talking about when you say that suicides and violence "have nothing to do with each other."

A few years ago my nephew put a gun in his mouth and pulled the trigger. Believe me, it was extremely violent. He blew a hole in the back of his head the size of a cantaloupe and scattered his brains halfway across Skyland Park.
Violence with a capital 'V'.

Best,

I'm not so mind dead to limit my feelings to Rs or Ds, that is for mindless partisans. The ls (legislature) has spent money like drunken sailors for 40 to 50 years. As yet there is no sign of that stopping. Walker, an R, voted in by the Ds because he pretended to be an I is at the helm of a spending crisis. The only spending he wants to stop is the spending that does not promote his pipedream. The fiduciary and constitutional duty to review and approve all state expenditures seemed to fail us when they wanted a new building.


Ibbitson’s columns are going downhill. So if millions of illegal voters didn’t vote against Trump in the 2016 election, as he suggests, just how many did vote against him? Ibbitson doesn’t say. Trump didn’t just manufacture the concerns about illegal voters changing the results of elections. Democrat Al Francken may have defeated his Republican opponent in the 2008 Minnesota Senate race thanks to illegal voters. The Washington Post, using data from the Co-operative Congressional Election Study, estimated that 6.4% of non-citizens voted in 2008. Given the demonization of Trump during the election campaign it would seem likely that higher numbers of non-citizens might have voted illegally in 2016 to defeat Trump. In 2014 there were 22.4 million immigrants to the US who were illegal immigrants or legal immigrants who had not become citizens. If ten percent of these people voted against Trump that would be more than two million votes.

Canada privatized ATC about 20 years ago and having made a dozen or so flights through there as a vfr only pilot, my experience has been excellent. ATC services,  flight plans services , and weather briefings are as professional as you will find anywhere in the world and for all this I get bill in the mail when I get home for about $17.00 CAD per quarter (only when I am using the services. BTW the cost covers all services except at a few of the very largest Canadian airports  for aircraft under 2 metric tons. A twin engine Piper Navajo is under 2 metric tons as are most of our common single engine acft.)

The system appears to be working very well. You don't end up paying for my private flying and the Canadian taxpayers don't get soaked for paying for the cost of a bloated bureaucracy like the FAA.


Godwin's law got played awfully early tonight.

Undisputable historical fact : Hitler was actually a fascist who hated both socialists and communists.

"Mein Kampf" well documents this fact.


Johnsmith,

  I disagree.
  In my view Canada's best values were the values of Canadian hippies in the era of social transformation, 1967-73.
  Our values were called the "counterculture". They included stronger democracy of the people, by the people, for the people, inclusiveness; community; secularism free from religious dogma; more money for workers, less for corporations; back to nature protection of the environment;  justice for all; social justice; equality for all;  strong social safety net; generosity of spirit; simplicity and anti-commercialism; organic food; meditation and yoga; fun; laughter; sex.
   Good will towards all with malice for none.
  All of these amazing values, except for the few that have been commercialized have been defeated by corporate culture.
   Believe me. Unless you're a CEO hippie culture was so much better than cut throat corporatist culture or the religion-ridden cultures of backward, impoverished, authoritarian countries.

Additional responsibilities include advising, pursuing funding, conducting research and creative projects, and often service to the university, college, program, and/or community.


1. Sorry, but you're one of many I often disagree with.  However, I note I didn't disagree with your previous comment, but you sad-faced mine. Ahem.
2. I do not try to get your posts deleted.  The fact you think I do reflects your obsession.
3. I guess focusing on me is better than actually having to deal with the the manufactured outrage my comment was about.


The "Happy Days" era is a distant memory. People are more mobile now,  the underclass has grown , illicit drugs are common place, and gangs are vastly more prevalent and better organized. It doesn't matter that Eugene is considered a smallish city, there is no immunity conferred, plus smaller cities tend to lack the resources necessary to effectively combat gangs. Being located on the I-5 corridor doesn't help matters. Expect the problem to grow not lessen.


Whatever happened to looking after yourself. I don't mind paying my fair share of taxes and I done that all my life but able bodied healthy people should have to look after themselves. Canada should not be a welfare state. .


People are too worried to comment any negative comments regarding Natives or Indians .The word Indian became controversial by a politically correct Jewish lady at a conference. A Native with an MBA stood up who manages a huge power company in the States and was very offended. She is a 6 generation "INDIAN" from Sitting Bull and says she is a very proud Indian who lives on Indian way and will not call herself a Native. Now as far as the land deal goes I am OK with negotiating land deal as Canadians stuck their heads in the sand and didn’t finalize land deals. Oh and I am a very small part Indian and very few but some people look at me strange when I say that word. Indians are not going to get the whole country but some people think they should. I also would never go get my status card as its crazy a 1/16 part Native cards get me a whole lot of free stuff, support and education which I don’t consider ethical. I do hope they get some of that land and use it wisely and don’t hold hands.


Clearly the French are a nation of misogynists.


No, you don't.  You're selective, if it's a member of your 'tribe' that commits the crime, you look the other way and make excuses.

You've done that in these pages.  You think no one would remember?


"One major problem here is that much of the disdain and distrust has been earned. The press has behaved deplorably for decades. "
These two sentences from your article say it all.  If they even made an attempt to provide accurate coverage and act with a little bit of integrity, there might be a reason to read/listen, but it's fake issues and false drama 24/7.  They only have themselves to blame.


Having worked in both environments, it's from the employer the worker has to be worried about being intimidated.

Re Dogs' "growing numbers of liberal hateful left-wing anarchists to advance their anti-America agenda;" and the opposite, calling people "Trump babies."

Please, people, the extremes on both sides are killing our politics, and socially toxic. Complain about the behavior, yes, sure. Object to the idea, the statement, the policy, that too, bring it on.

But those of you who automatically unthinkingly blame the other half of the country for everything, on cue, right or left, please realize that you waste everybody's time and energy, you become numbingly predictable, and essentially you drown out your points and make yourself totally unconvincing. Do yourself – and those who read your comments – a favor, please. Don't use comments to lob generic insults to a generic imagined other side. Make some useful point.

Enough already! Mindless repetition of useless insults, and wholesale blaming of imagined villains, are toxic.

He was dressed in Muslim garb because he was at a wedding. President Obama has written several books. But you'd rather hear it from Bill than from the actual person. I don't know why I bother. I guess it's the Margaret Mead in me.


Except that the US definitively took on the role as Leader of the Free World willingly- actually created the position for itself exclusively after WWII. Some of us see this abandonment of responsibility as similar to the evacuation by the Captain of the Costa Concordia - to put it gently- the act of a cowardly poseur trapped by his own delusions of grandeur yet overwhelmed by his responsibilities .


tinyhands trump has a 9% chance of winning.


Of all the tax reform they could do... they go after small businesses instead of the mega-corps that line politicians pockets and fill seats in government? How surprising. They talk all day about the 1% and do nothing about it behind closed doors, besides making it harder for anyone else to become the 1%.

How about reforming the whole tax code to be massively simplified? This endless back and forth over small details is a waste of time. Don't want loopholes? How about you stop legislating every little detail? Complexity is what creates loopholes.


RIIIIIGHT    ahahhhhaaaahhaaaahhaa  You fool only yourself with lies like that.

No, actually he isn't.

2) In February 2015, Trump said, in an interview with Hugh Hewitt that he would commit to release his tax returns when nominated. "I would release tax returns. I have certainly no objection to showing tax returns.”   Now he won't.

3) He promised to repeal the Affordable Healthcare Act on his first day in office.   Still waiting.

Modern society has devolved into a tangled web of ideological power struggles designed to obliterate contrary opinions instead of creating a productive dialogue.

At the risk of generalizing the subject, all of this racous debate can be boiled down to one simple concept- respect. Respect for others and respect for oneself.

A university should be the central square for openness and tolerance and above all learning.  Respect all opinions, encourage an open dialogue but don't try and force people to conform to your beliefs. That's not tolerance, that's fascism.

It's time for some sanity to return to the conversation.


Nope, Benny would never have done such a thing, er, except sacking Bishop Morris of Australia and following up the sacking by sending a personal letter to the Bishop stating that he needn't even think about having recourse to canon law because he (Benny) hires and fires the Bishops.

And Cardinal Burke is one of the few Cardinals in the world who has excommunicated Catholics.

The truth is you people were quite happy to see forced resignations, sackings and excommunications when it suited your conservative agenda. Don't even start with the Benny was a loveable, fluffy bunny routine. He was an arrogant bully who got found out in the end.

Since "civil" beat is allowing the column to continue that is disrespectful and totally uncivil then I have to assume that is what they intend to do in order to form a division among civil minded people.  Doesn't Pierre have enough pocket change to support his little blog?  This is one of the most disrespectful blogs I have ever seen.  The editor needs to submit her resignation for allowing it to go on.  Any legitimate credibility that civil beat once had has been destroyed.  Can I write a similar column comparing Obama and Hillary to the devil?  (It would be easy to do).  Did you know that Barrack was the name of Mohammeds black horse?  Can't say that.

Perhaps those creative, entrepreneurial types in Hawaii with experience in the movie making industry can get some funding and make a version more to their liking.  Hawaii has progressed enough that it could be done and done well.

Just in comparison, to prove that Hawaiians had a rich navigational tradition, they didn't just talk about it, the Polynesian Voyaging Society did something...the Hokulea.  Pretty amazing impact, if you ask me.


"Reduction in use of medical services" = "people leaving the marketplace"  If people have to buy their own insurance, they go to the doctor less.  Canada learned this the hard way: If the government pays for everything, then I'm riding in an ambulance to get my sprained ankle looked at.

Oh, and this is a real rich statement coming from an overpaid university administrator.  Any young academic out there knows exactly why there's no money for teaching and no money for research:  an ever expanding cabal of overly paid university administrators.  These days, administrators get full-time, permanent 6- or 7-figure jobs.  Young Professors get term contracts and precarious employment and the expectation of running "paper mill" labs chruning out corporate-sponsored "research".

"We can’t change that by removing statues or flags. As Americans we need to accept our history and move into the future with civility towards each other. As Abraham Lincoln said, a house divided cannot stand."

So, we generate civility towards each other by keeping monuments to southern treason and defeat, these symbols represent Jim Crow laws that oppressed and subjugated an entire race, but we need to be civil with this segment of the population, or the division will remain?

The south has lived with their delusion for a century now, isn't it time they learned humility versus the pride in losing a war over an unjust cause?


Yes, that would make total sense. A slightly higher CAD supported by a Bank of Canada rate increase absolutely helps reduce the high prices paid on imports (foreign purchased inputs to manufacturing, fruits, vegetables, nat gas, gasoline pump prices, steel, copper, and many other commodities priced in US dollars) and it also reduces foreign speculation on domestic real estate, since Canadian real estate then costs more in foreign currency.

In fact your reasoning is so sensible I nominate you for Bank of Canada Governor. Anyone is better than Poloz and Wilkins, who sewered the dollar with 2 reckless rate cuts in 2015, stoking all of the above but in the reverse.


"We learned racism from the haole, from books, news reels and news papers...like, "To Kill a Mocking Bird"

But they didn't need Haole propaganda to plan and carry out the Pali genocide.  Native grown ethnic cleansing.

The thing about the slide stock or “recoil trigger finger bumper”— besides jerking all over when you shoot it is that it can kill you when it misfires— and that can cause the gun to fire before the bolt is closed and explode in your face with hot gases. Trying to stop the gun from firing and bounciing into your trigger finger before the clip or magazine is empty is one way this can happen.

In Canada, a medical license from one province will not be recognized by a second province, without the doctor having to submit their credentials again and possibly make up credits required by one province but not another.

In Ontario, a doctor relocating from Quebec is subjected to a one or two year oversight program whereby he or she have to report to an Ontario licensed doctor, even if the doctor from Quebec has been in practice for 20 years.


Well colour me surprised- not!


People need to stop being so prone to reacting on junk media presented to them on face value. The gun ban people are running on blind emotion - which the gun ban groups WANT them to do - and aren't stepping back to look at the data and critically scrutinize the crap the media and these groups are feeding them.


So where do the social progressives of the PC Party go now? Seems to me Kenney isn't interested in keeping them. There are only 8 MLAs. And Kenney has no seat in the legislature. Winning the leadership was easy. Selling the end of the PC Party will not be easy. Expect Notley to pick up quite a few new members from this. And Brian Jean is probably laughing heartily. Why would he want to give up his seat to some Ottawa elitist?


Unfortunately the bishops have lost their moral voice opting for the comfortable gala dinners to raise lots of money from those wealthy successful business types. They have sold out. You can not serve both God and mammon. The bishops have made tried to walk the center, least offensive line possible.  It seems to me that the only one they are offending is Jesus.

Sure I pray for the bishops, but this article and the many thoughtful comments are provoking in me a self-examination of my own integrity and need to be more courageous.

Translation:

steve_d1 has no argument that the court decisions dealing with how Khadr was treated are wrong, or that the recent negotiated settlement isn't legally advisable.

Instead of sticking up for the decisions and the courts that made them, or  the settlement, he's going to try to justify inflamed public opinion by making fun of the "cloistered variety that seemingly lives exclusively within the interpretations of the Charter."  And by pointing to "the Khadr family members."

It's a deeply cynical approach.


Here's a tip: Don't become a felon.


Political people and civil servants do not build an ark, they need Canada First people with strong negotiation leadership skills; like myself. I have volunteered for this job, but was not asked to join the team, even though I said I was not interested in any salary.  our team will be slaughtered by the Americans for one reason, they want to loss everything Canada has and come out on top as individuals. Look at Hon. Brian, he lives next door to the Donald.

Rightly so, I should think.  It's clear he's smarting over the circumstances of his dismissal -- looks like he went a bit too far in the heat of things.


Very well said.  It's long past time for the Town of Coupeville to reign it in and tone it down.  Otherwise, the patriotic supermajority is going to be tone deaf to the Town's legit concerns buried in ignorance and Navy-bashing.


It is not at all clear what leverage the governor has in this matter. First, he is asking for proprietary information from the oil companies. The producers should tell him to go pound salt.  When that happens the governor can attempt to terminate their leases and then what? He’s back to square one because the producers will have vacated.  Secondly, the governor is asking for proprietary marketing information that is wholly dependent on a pipeline that is a pipe dream. The pipeline is an avowed $55 billion project searching for a reason.  The world is awash in cheap natural gas. We don’t need oil company marketing plans to know that there’s no market for Alaska gas in state or anywhere that makes the pipeline economic. And this is the governor who’ll solve Alaska’s fiscal dilemma?


I understand that there is great security in having things stay the same -- in a constantly-changing world, there is security in a religion that doesn't change.  But everything changes -- everything, and I think (no one must agree -- it's only what I think) that love and charity must win out over legalism.  Otherwise, all we have is a religion ruled by celibate Pharisees and adhered to by lifeless Pharisees.


Mr. Keillor should go back to Lake Wobegone, where despite the statistical impossibility, he claims everyone is above average. His hit piece on Mr. Trump, duly reprinted by the Register-Guard which never prints Hillary hit pieces, neglects to mention Trump's opponent Mrs. Clinton's shortcomings:

1. Pants suits far more hideous than Mr. Trump's haircut will ever be

2. A propensity for enriching herself by soliciting donations to her foundation in exchange for strategic U.S. uranium deposits

3. Lying to protect her opportunity to run for president after allowing 4 Americans to be killed in Benghazi

4. Committing felonies by placing top secret U.S. government documents on her non-secure email server, then lying to cover it up

There are far more. OK, so "shortcomings" is a gross understatement except for #1, unless you're Mr. Blackwell. While Trump is no prize as a presidential candidate, Hillary is more fit to be behind bars than anywhere else. Don't even get me started on Sanders.


Be as mean as you can to all God' creatures.


The simple fact is that Canada has very little leverage when it comes to dealing with the superpowers. Canada's Liberal/left/progressives are wont to convey the myth that Canada is a 'Moral Superpower' but they have no idea where to turn when talk can't forestall agression. Canada has precious little to defend itself with, should a country like Russia decide to try us on, other than intervention from the United States.  Trudeau and Freeland can posture to their heart's content but Putin knows quite well they have nothing to back their tough posing. It remains to be seen if he even attempts to mask his contempt for both of them.


Is that all you got?

How about we continue the investigation. Let's find out how filthy everyone is with Russian connections. The Dems might actually outdo the Republicans on this. We'll even give them a ribbon for doing so well.

As I have posted in in this space before, under the Law and Justice Party, Poland is in retro mode, sinking back into the clerical-fascist regimes of the 1930s of Colonel Beck and Marshal Pilsudski. The reactionary and anti-Semitic Catholic hierarchy supported these governments in which there was little separation between church and state.  When the Communists took over the country after the war(for understandable reasons, the Red Army was going nowhere), like all leftist governments, communist or non-Communist, they put the Church on a short lease, brooking no interference from arrogant bishops used to getting its way. Like the Church in Ireland, a narrow_minded clerical class is discrediting the Church, and the general exodus from the Church is already under way.


SWAMP is anyone from either party who has made "politics" (especially federal) their career.  I believe we should go back to unpaid reps and senators which would start to give "citizen politics" back to regular citizens.  And, no, I am not part of the SWAMP, but the monster from the Black Lagoon might be or maybe he/she needs to be invited back!

Hey, Mark the Hitman, LTNS.

The reports I've heard/read so far indicate that she was seen alive somewhere in the Goldenview area at some point not long before they found her body, so that may very well rule out whatever Brady is hinting at.

I'm not 100 percent certain this is the same person, but I'm pretty sure she lived here in Fairbanks for many years.  Her house was constantly on the verge of foreclosure, so she tended to come and go a lot, presumably off working so that she could rectify that.  She also left behind nine children, some of whom had disabilities and depended on her even in adulthood.


Are the Pride organizers (taken over by Black Lives matter) too dumb to recognize the irony of only the police to participate by hiding who they are?


If women were equal they wouldn't need laws and appointed positions. As well they wouldn't need constant media attention claiming equality. So basically the more you demand and scream equality the more obvious it becomes that you aren't.


Have you never heard of Postmedia?  They are a Conservative outlet and they own more papers than any other media company in Canada.  If you think the Rebel is moderate, then maybe the problem is with your own morale compass.


I like the new look.  I like that the page no longer snaps to the bottom when you go to it, and the ICO "R" makes more sense now.


Wrong those of us that work hard don't get Medicaid support we are uninsured if we choose or cannot afford it but that does not mean we qualify for Medicaid. We have to lose everything we have worked for first to get into Medicaid. You assumptions are absolutely wrong. We should never be forced to subsidize your choices and you should never be forced to subsidize ours.

Be an American not a lefty handout drone.


So why make it easier for them?   Why not make it harder for them to live here?  Why not use our limited resources for our elderly, not some bum from the mainland who comes here to leach off our taxpayers?
Your reasoning is disingenuous.


We all enter the Church through baptism just like all the cardinals, bishops, priests, deacons, religious, laity, sinners and saints, liberals and conservatives, everyone - we all come in through the same door, so to speak. No one can "un-baptize" us. I am saddened and scandalized by the presumption of people who suggest others remove themselves from the Body of Christ (or that the Church should remove them) as though this were even possible. As a priest and bishop, does he understands the gravity of what he is suggesting? Not only for the injury directed at the those to whom he is suggesting this, but to us all? Would the church he envisions be the Church of Jesus Christ? Very sad.


Well, I hope the mediator can bring about a fair and equitable deal for Canadian college workers and classes can open again as soon as possible. If the ratio of full time teachers to part time teaching staff can improve to 50/50 and contract workers can get some reasonable job security, be paid for every hour worked, and get some benefits, I think most college teachers would be satisfied. The colleges have been taking advantage of lax labour laws around precarious work for too long and the only way to improve conditions was through labour actions.


The light seems dim even to Americans now.


Divorcing your wife and marrying another for lust is adultery.  Divorcing your spouse for being an alky, beating you, cheating on you is survival, as is getting remarried for love and economic security.  These teachings are for our benefit, not for God or piety.


Burke is not merely asking a question; Francis is not refusing to answer. Burke is trying to undermine the teaching of AL; the pope isn't biting.
A Catholic (or anyone) not only may but must follow the judgement of her/his conscience (cf. CCC 1790) even if, objectively, the judgment is wrong. Conscience formation is a serious obligation and while Catholics consult the teaching of the church, they cannot reduce conscience to conforming behavior to church teaching, especially if they have concluded that the teaching is wrong, as most Catholics have with respect to issues like birth control, masturbation, and homosexuality.
I apologize for allowing you to draw me into a discussion about who goes to hell for what. I admit that I hurled the first volley in pointing out the lunacy of the teaching about masturbation. I really don't think, as I said earlier in thread, that anyone takes this seriously; but I'm aware that someone might be reading who could be harmed by what you write.


IRT Lisa Adlong, the purpose of residential zoning is to supply housing for residents, not hotel rooms to tourists. I don't know anyone who opposes vacation rentals, but most Hawaii's residents oppose having vacation rentals in residential zoning. These businesses take housing away from local residents and alter the residential character of our neighborhoods by displacing local residents.  Renting an ADU unit such as a cottage, apartment or a studio to a fellow resident is a great way to earn extra income and support the local community. If you want to own a vacation rental, you can legally do it in resort zoning.


Yes. Especially when the truth is embellished with outright lies.


And I thought Kushner was in Iraq on official US Government business. Silly me. What he is doing is representing Trump Inc. They always have an eye to the main chance, don't they? They just don't want to miss a single  trick. And while he is there  he's going to tell the Iraqi president, if he'll listen,  to run his country like a business. Just like USA Inc. And look how successful that hasn't been. Sad. Very sad.


President Big Shot Hotel Magnate can't even book a hotel room right, sad.


If you actually "pay very livable wages" why are you concerned with the min wage hike? Certainly ur employees will still b paid more than the hike yes?

Also,"have top of the line health insurance, pay vacation and sick leave" These are not things you should be counting as 'extras' given 2 your employees. These are the MINIMUMS. Workers have organized & fought for those RIGHTS. It is your duty 2 honor them but as a employer your values show when you go above and beyond. Your employees will notice that and you will see, better production, more loyalty, less turn over, increased sales/revenue.

"I do not see how raising minimum wage would help my business or employees"
Again, since you are paying "very livable wages" u are correct it wont help, nor will it hurt, your business or employees.

Finally,
"am not by any stretch getting rich!"
 This is the problem with our current capitalist/neo classical economic system. We prioritize large profits over the HUMANS that make it your $$.


You are horrible to write this no matter what your history is with Jamie. I am losing faith in human beings seeing these kinds of comments these days. A 15 year old boy with a future has left this world and that is a terrible thing!!


That depends on how you define success.

And if one says "the Church teaching is hogwash", what then? When my wife was told, after a literally life-threatening pregnancy, that she should not get pregnant again, we decided I should get a vasectomy. My mother-in-law insisted we see her pastor. He told us that the Church taught that it was better that my wife die than I get a vasectomy. It should not surprise you that we rejected what he had to say.

"The people of Canada would need to first be consulted then given the opportunity to express their wishes in a referendum."

Funny thing is, we already had a referendum about all this in 1992 and we said NO. Perhaps it is time for another one.

"The national referendum was held on October 26, 1992. On a national basis, the Charlottetown Accord was defeated by a vote of 55 percent to 45 percent. Moreover, a majority of voters in seven of the 10 provinces (including Quebec) voted against the Accord. Only those in Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, and the Northwest Territories voted in support of the Accord. It’s also important to note that 62 percent of Aboriginals on reserves voted against the Accord."

In my opinion, Trump is correct on the narrow issue of prohibiting political speech from a church pulpit or its equivalent.  Banning it violates both religious freedom and freedom of expression. The law is also potentially dangerous, in that a politically-oppressed religious minority cannot use the pulpit to warn and organize their followers. One would hope that no such threat existed in this day and age, but clearly that's not the case.


Shenzen doesn't have to worry about labor unions.


Not everyone can afford to live close to work for the LUXURY of biking there. This is an insult to most middle class and poor people. I feel that this is class discrimination. This is another way to divide this country. Sounds nice on paper but in practice it's terrible and needs to stop.


China doesn't and won't obey any 'rules' or ethics on trade or anything else. They have the most protectionist economy in the world.  Huge import duties and other obstructions, but also, artificially peg their currency way below the USDollar.  In business, you have to go through a third party bank to ensure they actually pay for what they get.


It is truly sad and indeed unfortunate that we have no writings from Jesus.  If prayer has 'concrete' effects, any, forget the impossible to comprehend 'infinite effects;  what are they, and show the evidence.  NONE as you claim are scientifically confirmed, though many have claimed to be.  "healings incongruent with the known course of disease, etc."  are not scientifically confirmed healings.  In fact, quite opposite;  they are a confirmation of 'ignorance'.  Throughout history the legacy has been to affirm to a god what was not known at the time.  That is the 'god of the gaps' argument.  But, 'was once not known'  at a particular time has been filled later by discovery.  Unknown causes of healing now will be known and understood in a later tomorrow.  'No known medical rationale for healing, is not a miracle, it is a statement of ignorance.


arts? more left wing bs,,get them into trades an business courses


Okay, Bobby, then expose it.

May I suggest you begin by disproving the basic physics behind the excitation of loosely balanced gas molecules such as CO2, N2O, CH4 and the like by long-wave (IR) radiation bouncing back from the Earth's surface as a result of sunlight, and how that excitation "rings" in easily correlatable and empirically meaureable wavelengths, thus warming the troposphere and the Earth's surface while concomitantly cooling the stratosphere, as has been predictably observed by multiple international sources for decades?

No rush. I'll wait.


So can I up in my neck of the woods.  But, that was heterosexual men on girls which is of course, a very different more 'natural' kind of pederasty.

I will give MY this much credit, he has certainly put a big spot light on the hypocrisy of the religious right.  He has them defending a flaming gay man who espoused the NAMBLA philosophy.


I'm confused.  Did someone say it was illegal?  Or, is your argument that everything that's not illegal is fair game?  That if you can't call the cops on it, you shouldn't stand your ground?


Oh well.  Another perfectly marvelous response wasting away in my mailbox.

So, removing the statue of Robert E. Lee, one of, if not the most reluctant general to make the decision to fight for the Confederacy, a guy who expressed his opinion that there should be no statues commemorating war, is on par with destroying century-old artifacts.

Can't say I agree.


At Church this past weekend, found out we sent the homeless guy that was hanging around and tired of the Aloha State,  back to his hometown in the Mid-West........and he wasn't even a member of our faith! WWJD?

Just make sure you leave before kickoff.


The Establishment media is profiting bigly by Trump's every word.
But they need to remember that actions speak much louder than words.
Trump has done nothing to alarm people. It's the media that does that.
So far Trump hasn't changed a dollar for anybody, especially for Canadians.
The media's attack on Trump is mostly about covering up the corruption Trump exposes/

When all is said and done, much more is said than done.
The rich are said the poor are done.
The rest is mostly the fog of war.
There's an old saying: If voting would change anything it would be illegal.
Politics is mere sound and fury signifying nothing.
Because at the end of the day, and the beginning of the day, it's about the economy.
Don't worry about Russia and China, As long as the Chinese Communist Party  and the Russian oligarchs are growing rich, they won't do anything to provoke war.


This analysis is excellent, but it lays out an important point yet does not make the connection. Ss. Augustine and Gregory "amalgamated her with the repentant woman" BECAUSE "the need for penance was felt deeply." Describing her as a penitent was a way to honor her, in the same vein as the earlier honors cited.

There are lots of oddities in the history of The Magdalene. I'm not convinced that it was later authors who amalgamated the different characters as much as it was St Luke who tore one character into two to make a point about repentance. But those are large questions on which we can disagree.

Today is Holy Saturday, a day of quiet listening between the death of Jesus and his Resurrction. Mary Magdalen is the image of this day, always listening to the Lord in the silence, remembering how she saw him die yesterday and preparing herself to visit his body tomorrow.


They don't live up to your expectations. Once again, you are insisting that you can set priorities and standards for other people.

Spain experienced a period of enlightenment under Islam.


that is a stupid comment. Canada has a trade deficit with the US.  Mexico has a huge trade surplus. They are completely different situations.


Perhaps related to the discussion started by Jerry69. I recall the Ford administration's response to the "axe murder incident" was a rather large show of force that had a similar "calming effect" on the North Korean regime.
Then again, there is a fairly large list of North Korean actions: https://fas.org/sgp/crs/row/RL30004.pdf

Although many people may believe Trump is calling the North Korean bluff of threatening a preemptive strike on US interests, everything I know about Trump makes me believe it is more likely that he simply does not care about other people dying, because he will be safe, and he will be allowed to use the military in a new war that he will most likely "win". But I suppose it doesn't really matter if North Korea does back down.

If.

And, "[There has been] a deep rejection by the Catholic faithful of the Church's theology of sexuality based on the interlinking of sexuality and procreation, especially following Humanae Vitae in 1968, with the result that the Church has had no widely accepted theology of sexuality since that time (p. 310)."

Cahill and Wilkinson's point is that by taking the position it did in Humanae Vitae, the magisterium so undermined its credibility in the area of sexual ethics that nothing it says about it is now seriously by many. This leaves a big gap both within the Catholic community and the world at large, given how much influence the Catholic church has around the world. This lack of credible, coherent sexual ethic is a factor that played into what may have been an acceleration of sexual abuse of minors by Catholic clergy in the second half of the twentieth century.


Sounds like a good trade to me

I'm calling BS on your claim to have graduated with a degree in poly sci from ANY university, let alone Ivy League.  It's not possible that you could graduate with such a degree and not be familiar with voter ignorance, any more than someone can have a PhD in Bioengineering and not having been familiar with the Theory of Evolution.  It makes no sense.  It must explain why you have to rely on Google scholar for your information on this subject -- because this is not known background information for you for some reason.

What makes this most bizarre is the fact that you must, on some level, be aware of the existence of ULTRA ignorant voters, the "know nothings" as described by political scientists.  These are the people who can't even name the current president, some 10-20% of the VOTING population.  Do you imagine non-voters to be more informed than the average voter?  If not, you are literally advocating increasing voter ignorance by definition.

To suggest the homes are vacant is naive, they are investment properties used for short term rental or secondary homes. Again investing in real estate is legal and taxes are paid on income and capital gains when sold.


Totally agree - better yet how about sending him down to NM before he hurts the team any more than he already has.Stop giving him special treatment if he's not batting good enough to be on the roster.


there is a difference between a Jew and a gentile. or didn't you know that? one follows the law, the other falls under grace. Jesus didn't have to say anything about 'homosexuality', though the NT has plenty to say. knowing He was a Jew, and called a Rabbi, means He followed OT Jewish law. Homosexuality is clearly addressed in the OT. so hang that tired old argument up, would you? it is nonsensical.


Judah.  Thank you! I'm in agreement with you.

I believe that the opinion of the writer is somewhat valid but is stated as if his opinion is proven fact, not just his experience. I would have preferred that he say "I'm my humble opinion.". The potential for people that read it and are considering taking medication may change their minds now.

 Also, if the guy was taken to Providence he may have just been taken to the Psych ER. I don't remember if he was taken there as an arrestee or not. If he was taken to the PER then they normally have a visit with staff and are then observed. I don't think they are prescribed drugs. He may have gone to DO I to. Don't know.

“Even voting for the right is doing nothing for it. It is only expressing to men feebly your desire that it should prevail. A wise man will not leave the right to the mercy of chance, nor wish it to prevail through the power of the majority. There is but little virtue in the action of masses of men.”
― Henry David Thoreau, Civil Disobedience and Other Essays

Civil disobedience is part of our democracy and progress, yet you think that it is wrong and complain when it is not your "side".  I am sure you were probably cheering the tea bag party when it was engaging in civil disobedience.  Hypocrisy much?


Cool


It would take a lot of guts and a will of steel to get this plane to fly as 100% Canadian.  We had the know how to almost do it.  We had a lot of courage from the company that almost went broke trying.  They got it off the ground.

Yes they were over budget.  Boeing wasn't on the Dreamliner?  Which by the way won't be making any money except for the tax write-offs for decades.  Not to mention the other $millions offered by state subsidies.

Boeing and Airbus cut their prices to keep the C series out of the market.  When that failed the US applied tariffs.

The C series is a great plane and will fly now under the Airbus flag.  We had a chance but lacked the conviction to follow through.  No thanks to the gutless
business and media class we have in this country.  I lose it everyday hearing some broker on BNN in a bad suit say he won't invest in bbd.b because it's subsidized.

Let's just build another pipeline to the US Gulf Coast and ship raw crude. Don't
forget the subsides.

Yes, and Europe has Jesus Christ and the numerous Saints who followed him. I'm always entranced when the priest turns bread & wine into the flesh & blood of the Lord. He said sarcastically. I take it you've not actually discussed your anthropological findings with any real First Nations member.

Hal Niedzviecki, btw, is not in agreement with you. He's rather aghast at all the right wing nutjobs who are using this incident to peddle their hate and white privilege. He actually thinks Cultural Appropiation is real and harmful to indigenous people and people of colour.

There is no doubt in my mind that this editorial was a misguided attempt to rehabilitate Joseph Boyden without actually naming him. Unfortunately, one of the  indigenous authors in this issue of Write was Alicia Elliott who was writing about cultural expropriation. She also has had very strong opinions about Boyden's fraud.

The most ironic thing about "affordable" housing is that only working taxpayers pay for it - the foreign nationals living in mansions and collecting social benefits are not paying a dime (or maybe a dime if the municipality steps in). So not only are the middle class forced out of housing in their own country and community, they have to pay higher costs to commute and live in higher pollution further down the valley, and they get to pay for the socio economic impact of the foreign nationals through such schemes as affordable housing which they will never have and are not eligible for. Why people are not demonstrating every day boggles the mind: this has been a full scale economic war on Canadians with the tacit approval of our governments. Yes, the tax should be much much higher for all the lower mainland and Vancouver Island.

I would be interested in seeing more details on how the county intends to implement compliance with the new ordinance.  My concern is that some department in the county organization will now claim they need to hire 2, 3, 4? more mid-level bureaucrat positions to oversee and check compliance.  The county is struggling to maintain basic services.  Adding more employee expenses for a marginal public health benefit doesn't seem like a good public benefit at this time. (16 year old kids looking to get smokes will still find a way to get them.)

Also as a tax professional that recommends these techniques to clients, these techniques do result in lower taxes than the average employee would pay on the same income.  However, it is apples and oranges - employees and small business owners are not the same given different risk profiles.

However, while trying to go after the worst of the "bad apples", the changes will impact most small business owners, not just the 1%.  Most of these small business owners are middle class.  The changes will result in their personal taxes increasing and to a level that is typically HIGHER than the average employee (based on the same income level).  Further, these rules will discourage savings in a company (for both expansion and to "weather" the next downturn) and are overly punitive to inter-generational transfer of businesses (substantially increases the tax cost if you were to transfer a business to your kids versus selling it to a third party).  These rules will hurt small businesses!
