Haha haha well done article! !! Right on the money!!! You hit my online dating experice right on the head. Good luck with your search! Lol  ;)


"If there hadn't been women, we'd still be squatting in a cave eating raw meat because we made civilization in order to impress our girlfriends."

- Orson Welles

C'mon, we already gave up our caves and our raw meat, but enough is enough.

Let us enjoy our "thoughtless meat" in peace without columnists from Toronto's National Newspaper guilt tripping us about it.


and that is simply frightening. guess you didn't know him well enough to know of next-of-kin? people are simply thieves at times.


Wow.

(I recommend Chicago)


Otness, You said “oil companies take all the oil out of the ground and sell it, and then leave us with nothing - - - .”  Then how do you explain that until the recent worldwide downturn of oil prices for decades oil taxes paid for 95% of state spending?  I’d say that’s a lot more than nothing.


Agree completely.


It is free money. You didn't earn it.
'The People's Money' means it's there to run the state, not to be doled out so you can shopping or pay your bills.


Not only that Allie, the crime scene was less then two blocks from the HPD Waikiki sub-station.  This story keeps getting worse.


The next leaks will expose Trump's ties to Putin.

We tend to think somewhat dismissively of cultures that ascribe absolute truth in all matters to supreme leaders, and of the zealots who believe every word, not matter how absurd.

And we think even less of people who would trade the truth for grub.

So you can come to your own conclusion about what we think of you. ;-)

According to the crime report, the biggest downward trend was in assaults, robberies, rapes and homicides..."Klamath Falls did see an 8 percent increase in society crimes, which include drug and DUII offenses".
"Society Crimes"? Gee...if someone is driving DUII and causes an accident with injuries or death?...is it reclassified Again?
Sounds like the City of Klamath Falls is just playing with the numbers by re-classifying crimes??


4:20  Though this might be helpful to you in understanding the inaccuracy of your comments. I would never be so rude as to call you conservatives "stupid", but I do think comments such as yours need to be addressed.   Sorry 'bout the bad news  "Evolutionary psychologist Satoshi Kanazawa at the the London School of Economics and Political Science correlated data on these behaviors with IQ from a large national U.S. sample and found that, on average, people who identified as liberal and atheist had higher IQs. This applied also to sexual exclusivity in men, but not in women. The findings will be published in the March 2010 issue of Social Psychology Quarterly.

The IQ differences, while statistically significant, are not stunning -- on the order of 6 to 11 points -- and the data should not be used to stereotype or make assumptions about people, experts say. But they show how certain patterns of identifying with particular ideologies develop, and how some people's behaviors come to be. "


CR>  Hopelessly ridiculous post on your part!!!!


That was before the Conservatives decided that only Oil was a supportable Canadian business.


No thanks!

Accepting too many refugees has caused major problems in most European countries that have gone that route.

There are basically unlimited refugees in the world so there is no way one or even all of the prosperous countries in the world can help everyone or even a small percentage.

Canada needs to be very careful about how we do this.  There needs to be a solid plan on how to integrate these people into our society along with an up front evaluation of the total costs and some sort of a backup plan if it doesn’t work.  We need to do a trial run and evaluate if the integration is working before going off half cocked.


But but emails!


iT IS HARD TO ASK FOR MORE FUNDING FOR HIGHER SALARIES WITHOUT SEEING HIGHER RESULTS.  oUR TEACHING CORPS IS MEDIOCRE.  dOES PAYING THEM MORE MAKE THEM BETTER EDUCATED?  more EFFECTIVE IN THE CXLASSROOM?  does IT MOVE TEST SCORES?  does IT BRING NEEDED ACADEMIC CHANGE?  oR DOES IT JUST MEAN MORE MONEY FOR THE STATUS QUO?


Nice idea, but would that mean I'd have to flash my drivers license every time I want to make a purchase? I hate that picture, I'd need to go to glamor shots to have it redone...


This is all we need.... another black thing.... agreed.. you were slaves once..... but that's over..... you get over it as well... and we will try to remember to forget


It's always someone else's fault.

Party of personal responsibility my backside.


It's an election year.  The CBR (consitutional Budget Reserve) has money in it to cover the state's bills this year.  Therefore, nothing is going to get done this session.  The best move now would be to cancel the clown show and send everyone home.  Try again next year when there is more fiscal pressure.


Why not just get the gas version of the Golf wagon, or the new Golf Alltrack?  Some of the suggestions here are ridiculous - minivans, capped pickups, etc.  Dogs should not be "stretching out" like human passengers when travelling.  Too much space for the dogs means they'll go flying if you have to slam on the brakes or accelerate hard - at serious risk of injury to the dogs.  My Bernese mountain dog easily fits into the hatch of my Golf, and he is very safe there.


Is that Chord or Hole??
A majority wants no more of Captain Crunch and the Lie-berals.


Charles Adler and this article are indistinguishable.  The headline should have read “Stuff Charles Adler said that Margaret Wente agrees with”.  Does she get paid for this stuff?


Very interesting. A different approach for the NDP but possibly a well needed point of view. The NDP needs a leader that thinks of Canada, not be the ambassador of immigration.


"ISIS was not born of the US invasion of Iraq."

Really? Name me one terrorist attack they committed before the invasion of Iraq in 2003.

"I find your writing strange. You want to paint a picture where 100% of bad stuff is the responsibility of the USA."

No, that's not quite right at all. I'm saying that terrorism begets more terrorism. You think bombing an innocent country doesn't drive people to terrorism? You think we can solve the situation in Syria by bombing more people? That would be laughable if it weren't so sad.

"I mean, seriously, the USA bombed cities in Vietnam and Japan and Germany into oblivion, and yet in next decades we did not see folks from those countries walk into western music halls and restaurants with massive terrorist bombs."

That's because of the nature of the warfare in those countries. If the US and Russia had financed local militias in those countries, the outcome would have been much different. Warfare has changed.

Stop trying to twist my argument.


The Republican DEREGULATORS are baaaaack.  That's okay because in four year or less liberals will go back and undo the damage; just like when Dubya left office.  Pooper scooper busters.


The BC NDP took power in 1991, BC`s debt stood at $16 billion dollars and when they were voted out in 2001 they did indeed double the debt to $31 billion dollars, however, the BC Liberal party, who have no relationship with the Federal Liberal party are not Liberals, they were a re-branding of the discredited Social Credit party.  Economic growth was higher under the NDP of the 90`s than it is under the BC Liberals...Only because interest rates for Governments have fallen to historic lows, that`s the only reason B.C. isn`t bankrupt


another clueless bs post based on hate over facts


If they do become Citizens, you keep them in your sanctuary cities.......They will be barred from leaving the West Coast.........


Bayer buying up Monzanto...what a cheery merger.


I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to my fellow Canadians across the country for the poor excuse of a Premier we here in BC call Chrispy Cluck.  It's true - we know -  she is a bimbo and an air head.  We promise to try to do better next May.

Sincerely


Try a little less emotion and a little more reason. While I can entertain your discussion about banning handguns to those under 21, you statement that they are "only designed to kill other people" is really ignorant. Surely you have heard of target shooting competitions. Lets calm down or we will lose any ability to get things accomplished. When people freak out and demonize the other side, it just becomes a personal political battle doing very little but making those yelling feel tough.


Nooo, it's been reckless spending on both sides. The House and Senate majority has been Republican for quite some time now. Once again, this is NOT a US vs THEM fight. Collaboration of all our representatives are suppose to do what is best for the State and it's citizens.


I prefer beautiful "look at me" sanctuaries to "look at me!" modernist clerics.


The sound they make is extremely aggravating, carries long distances, ruins any sense of privacy and peacefulness for anyone ekse within the large surrounding area. This could be hundreds of people in a neighborhood.

These are amazing tools, but strong measures (restrictions, fees, mandatory insurance, confiscation, fines, statutory liabilities, imprisonment) will be needed so that the general public is not harmed or bothered by their increasing use.

I recently heard UH is trying to establish an undergraduate major in UAV technology... auwe.


Funny coming from the two who fawn at the feet of San Francisco Ethan Berkowitz...


Exactly right!


Just read an article that has photos of the buses that were uses to bring in protestors.

It appears that some liberal french money bags dude has craig's list adds recruiting people to go to different locations and "protest" (loot, damage property)

"Others claimed to have found ads posted on CraigsList in which a Seattle-based non-profit was soliciting “Full-Time Activists.”


You mean the same State workers who would also be paying Income tax, giving up part of their PFD-AND taking a reduction in pay as a result of the incompetence of the Republican led Legislature?


Q : How do you know when a BC Liberal is lying ?


Looks like she wants to try his turkey sausage.


But the turbines were not built to only generate electricity, West said Tuesday.....maintenance....$0.00. $100.000 dollar rusty sculpture.


Blah blah blah... trickle down economics... blah blah blah. Change your record. The needle's been stuck for over 30 years.


I too want so many extra wonderful services and goodies without having to reach into my own pockets to PAY FOR IT


Yay for guns!


Does this moron not realise that the only agenda Kganyago is allowed to have is to fulfill the reserve bank s mandate as determined by the constitution with targets as determined by the national treasury which is controlled by his own party?  No wonder the western cape anc is in its current disastrous situation.  One would think that statistically he would accidentally be right on some issues, but he somehow manages to defy the odds by being constantly at odds with facts and common sense.


Gee he must also work for nanos polls who said most of Canadians support climate taxes and the destruction of our economy.
This alternative reality thing is trending....


Why do people have to be on Medicaid to have adequate care?


A Jagmeet Singh lead NDP will be a big threat to the federal Liberals as he will retake much of the NDP vote that went to the Liberals in the last election. He "out-Trudeaus" Trudeau on style, engagement with the common person, genuine likeability, etc etc. Singh is the Conservatives' best hope to regain power as he will ensure that the centre-left and left vote is once again more evenly split between the Liberals and NDP.

The provincial Liberals in Ontario have been trying very hard to defeat Singh in provincial elections as they recognized the threat he poses to their election chances in Ontario.


I agree with Ivanka.  PEACEFUL demonstration is one of the key aliments in maintaining a free and open society. Unfortunately members of BLM, Antifa, and other radical Leftist organizations are violently stopping citizens their right to assemble without fear of reprisal.  If Ivanka  wants to have a voice in politics she should at the very least be truthful and to tell the whole story.


Taking out Kim would be the most efficient way to handle this. I bet many North Koreans would like that too, especially the ones close to Kim most likely to be fed to hungry dogs.


Bsdetection,you intentionally omitted the part that said "People familiar with the investigation said the intensifying effort does not mean criminal charges are near, or that any such charges will result."  I think you also missed other reports in which James Clapper, former Director of National Intelligence, said on March 5th in a Meet the Press interview that  when he issued a January 6th multiagency intelligence community assessment about Russian interference in the election, the report didn't include evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, essentially saying he hadn't been aware of any such evidence up through January 20th, his last day in office.


I am presuming that you  are completely ignorant of gynecology and what spontaneous abortions or miscarriages are.  Several American Bishops have also attempted to make rules that would fall into the context of practicing medicine without a license when they attempt to limit D&C's in active spontaneous abortions.  These procedures are necessary to prevent severe bleeding and the foetus is already gone. So please quit trying to moralize about gynecology a science that you know nothing absolutely nothing about.
 My guess is that you listen to factoid news from the likes of the very far right.  MSNBC and CNN do have their  problems with large corporate ownership, but Breightbart and Fox are neither news nor entertaining.  They are frankly total propaganda.  RDP46MDPhD


DOC is at the end of a trail of tears.  We should start with the overcrowded court schedule (we need more judges) and the underpaid and overworked public defenders.  If innocent poor people had better quality representation (no dissing meant to the Public Defenders Office, as they are truly overloaded), then maybe we wouldn't have so many people in jail.

I can't speak to the workload of the Municipal, State or Federal prosecutors' offices.  Perhaps they're just as overloaded.

There's an entire process that provides for the jailing of people.  We need to look at the entire picture, not just the end result.


Thank you for saying it out load.
The only thing America has to fear is herself.


A special characteristic of aircraft emissions is that most of them are produced at cruising altitudes high in the atmosphere. Scientific studies have shown that these high-altitude emissions have a more harmful climate impact because they trigger a series of chemical reactions and atmospheric effects that have a net warming effect. The IPCC, for example, has estimated that the climate impact of aircraft is two to four times greater than the effect of their carbon dioxide emissions alone.


Well mr Wohlforth.... your rationalization is all fine and dandy, unless your the one mauled/killed by a bear. All your verbiage is for not if the gods have it that its not your day to go home...  As they say, If if's and but's were candy and nuts, we'd all be fat and happy.
Be prepared.


Shame you don't ask that question of your hero, the Donald.  What are you hiding that you won't do what all presidential candidates except you have done since Nixon?  You must be hiding a hell of a lot!  Come on Donald do what Hillary has done, Romney, even your hero Jeb have done and release your tax returns.  Not to do it just shows you to be the coward you are.  I knew I was right in not voting for this clown.

Liar liar pants on fire.


Flynn is guilty.  But worse, why on earth does Trump exercise such bad judgment in hiring this stooge.  Lock him up!


It would be ironic,” Collins said Tuesday, “if the next president happens to be a Democrat and chooses someone who is far to Judge Garland’s left.”

No, that would be partisan politics as usual with the Democrats the winners this time.  There is no 'irony' if the final result is commonly expected.


The way in which tickets are distributed and sold is the reason for low attendance.  If you go online (to either school's ticket site) early on, you are told that all tickets are sold except for a few sections (not on the sidelines).  As time goes by, different sections become available, until the day of the game, when people can get a seat anywhere in the stadium, even though they had been previously told those seats were not available.  Many don't take the risk of going to the stadium and getting a seat, even though MANY are always available. Why don't tickets for all seats go on sale at once, and leave it at that?  And I'm not talking about the blocks of seats that are sold to ticket brokers to be sold at a higher price, or with a high "service fee" attached.


"Alaska has many undiscovered huge oil fields..."

Where's your data to back up your statement?


Mrs Peacock in the bedroom with a candlestick.


Lucky Trudeau. Looks like his friend Trump is doing everything possible to make Trudeau look good. First it was Trump stimulus program which will no doubt extend into Canada and now a ban on high tech personnel from Muslim countries or TFWs as we call them in Canada .


Huh?


Technically you are correct, he is not a reporter but he is (from Wikipedia) "Benjamin Aaron Shapiro is an American conservative political commentator, columnist, author, radio talk show host, and a lawyer."
As for "includes the hateful comments posted below the youtube video - comments clearly contrary to Globe guidelines" you would be right at home at Google where they are now locking people's accounts based on not liking the words in those people's Google Docs documents.


My question is why did he go.to St.Louis program which is known for academia and not football?  Somethings amiss here. Maybe he will be the pipeline for Canadian Hawaiian players.


Great point!


Climbing the cross means loving others as they are, as Jesus did.


Despite the fact that there isn't great demand to move there, the little there is is discouraged by laws and regulations, just as in many other countries. That's the point.

Most countries recognize that a country is a community, and has the right to determine who is a member and who isn't, and under what conditions it will accept someone as a member.


"All Democrats want to increase the size and scope of government."   I've got news for you:  All of us most certainly do not!  Democrats I know want want to get the government out of people's person lives and affairs, and have regulations only when industries can't or won't regulate themselves.  But really, in the end, when conservatives say "Limit the size of government," what they really mean is "No new taxes."  They really aren't concerned about much else.  They are terrified that their hard-earned money will be socialized.


Good comment that sums up the situation.


A GOOD parent.


Have you considered adopting or rehoming a dog? I've had dogs for many years. I've loved them all. The last 2 have been rehomes and both turned out to be terrific. The easiest to train. Both became velcro dogs and I consider myself to be the most fortunate.

The old city hall was built to whatever seismic standards were available in 1964. Building codes including seismic standards have changed in the last 50 years.

The new building design does incorporate the latest seismic upgrades.  But there are different levels of seismic survivability, the latest design puts the new city hall in the same category as emergency responder structures, i.e. police, fire, hospital.


I think you are mistaken on the willingness to help. What I don't like is those who choose to not even try and better their situation and expect to be given everything for free. I am more then willing to help give a hand up, and I understand there are those who cannot better their situation and yes we should help them but I do not at all want to help those who are quite capable and refuse to help themselves.


Governor Christie, “Tonight, as a former federal prosecutor, I welcome the opportunity to hold Hillary Rodham Clinton accountable for her performance and her character” - From there he turned the RNC (the once great party of Lincoln) into a bizarre kangaroo court where he threw out red meat in the form of pseudo charges against Secretary Clinton and then enjoined the assemblage to pronounce her guilty or not guilty - This is now the party of Trump - so of course the roars of 'guilty' and 'lock her up' rang out loudly time after time - Totally disregarding the fact Governor Christie's performance scored poorly with the fact checkers (Google it) - it was over the top even for the party of Trump - I can't help but wonder if Secretary Clinton had been there if the throng wouldn't have called for burning her at the stake - And for anyone who thinks Governor Christie is a righteous soul and qualified to lecture about 'character' - I hear there's a bridge for sale in New Jersey.


Look at the picture of the three of them. Don has very nice skin for a man his age. Lisa has either been in the sun without adequate SPF factor or just has a lot of frown-wrinkles accentuated by a fake tan. Dan has some pretty puffy bags under his eyes and a weird shadow under his nostrils. Hmmmm. not sure what to think about all that.


ICE?


Where's the scientific evidence that NOT having a "group" such as this leads to a greater good?


God be with his soul and family


Sarcasm? The classroom was for first through fourth grade students with special needs. The student who died was 8 years old.


The headlines sure is misleading??


You continue to flaunt your stupidity, Jim. Why do you think it's okay to leave people out in the rain and cold? You reap what you sow.


Sounds like we're gonna have a rerun of the same problem we had with the backup of rape kit processing. HPD is just plain fuggin' lazy. Hope the new Chief will remedy both problems. She's got a lot of work to do catching up.

Senator Robert Richie...I like it!


The nazi and white supremacy ideology must be condemned. It's the moral thing to do. There should be no discussion on that. Attempting to defend that ideology puts you on the wrong side.


Wow, this must be the first time the OIA were voted down on something they were totally against. In the past, they could always bank on the support from the MIL, BIIF, and KIF for votes. For the voting to be 100% OIA against the 3 tier system, and the rest of the leagues 100% for the 3 tier system, sends a powerful message. By the OIA (Araki) says that the Open has only two leagues participating, it cannot be considered a state championship. They should be very careful with what they're doing. In future voting, they might not get the support of the MIL, BIIF, and KIF. Also, the OIA ass u me that the MIL and BIIF will declare for the D1 tournament. If this stands as is, don't be surprised that the MIL and BIIF declares for the D2 tournament. That would leave on 2 leagues for the D1 championship. Which by Araki's assessment, doesn't qualify for a state championship. Repercussion may be done be the HHSAA to only have 2 OIA and 2 ILH teams in the D1 tournament. OIA chose wisely.


I don't want anyone to feel sorry for me life is great. We have an American in charge now and it's America First. I'm sure that hurt your feelings and I hope it hurts every other countries feelings. We won't be pushed around for the next eight years Limpy. There's no Muslim brotherhood left in the whitehouse now so there won't be billions of dollars on pallets delivered to our enemies anymore. Be careful out there when you put on your pink hat to go protest. MAGA.


Justice is always tempered by mercy.  This program is vital, needed and beneficial.


You're taking oranges and apples here.

To a degree you are correct if you are saying the government cannot force you what to do or say, or what not to do or say to express yourself.  You need only to look at NK, to see why our constitution forbids the government to dictate how an individual can express themself.

However in the work environment outside the government, your employer/organization can dictate your behavior and what you say.


When you say you think your comment was deleted because it was "just politically incorrect", can I assume you are using the term in its usual pejorative sense?

If so, what do you make of the fact that my last reply to you was rejected?   When I realized it, all I did was change the last sentence from "Sure." to "Seems self-defeating, but it's up to you." and it made it through minutes later.  As it should have.

Point is, the peer-review system allows rejection of comments by people who disagree with you.  Most of those Globe readers (or at least the ones who comment on anything vaguely feminist) are 'agin it.' But not, I guess, all of them.

I think we agree it's a problem, but don't think for a minute that it has anything to do with "political correctness."


Hopefully this article will clarify in a few minds why the Spanish Catalan police shot dead the terrorist when he screamed "Allah Akhbar!" while wearing what looked like a belt with explosives.
When dealing with terrorists who are ready to immolate themselves in order to kill others, there is little time for the security forces to react; and they have no time to verify whether a suicide explosives belt worn by the purported terrorist is a fake or not, or to read him his rights under the Constitution. This is a very serious business, a matter of life and death. Taking an extra split second to make a decision could be the difference between the death of the terrorist(s) and the death of many agents and bystanders.


Any discussion about the increase in college costs, and the student loans needed to pay them, MUST include mention that the cost of college has increased at twice the rate of inflation even with the cuts in state funding factored in. College is not affordable due to spending cuts, it is not affordable due to the unabashed greed of the education industry.


I think that since they allowed in Gabbard, the father, it would be hard to deny her to join.  As far as being rigid, the democrats are nothing compared to republicans who have no purity at all.  They have abandoned their principles and today believe that deficits don't matter.


Sounds like a good safety approach. Wait til the ACLU get ahold of this one.  You know, ACLU, the leftist lawyers who have been wrong on every issue since their formation!


"Only Mass Deportation Can Save America,"
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/16/opinion/only-mass-deportation-can-save-america.html?ref=opinion&_r=0

Get ready for some Swiftian irony.


nonsense.


This is an inaccurate statement: "This is what bicyclists do, all the time." If cyclists rode the wrong way on sidewalks all the time, they'd never cross a street, and thus, never get to their destination.
I can't tell you if cyclists generally obey none of the rules. I do believe they seldom exceed the speed limit. I also believe they tend to be on their phones and texting much less than motorists.
However, if we look at the consequences of not following the law, what is the ratio motorists/pedestrians killed by cyclists not following the law vs. cyclists/pedestrians killed by motorists not following the law? I would say deaths from motorists vs cyclists is 100:1.
Why are you more concerned with cyclists who I agree ignore many laws instead of he deaths from motorists who do not follow the law?


If we're going to need these trains in a "decade or two" we need to start building now.  Short sightedness has left us with a real mess already.  And self-driving cars are the current day dream - they will never be realistic as long as they mix with human driven cars - humans can't be counted on to always react as expected.  That doesn't mean the humans are wrong - and accidents happen because of many factors - human actions both cause and prevent accidents.  We are not ready with an AI that can anticipate human reactions well enough to allow it to control a weapon on our streets (which cars most definitely are).


Ahahhaha! Freddy, Freddy, Freddy. Between the three of us you, by far, call people names and hurl vitioloic insults at virtually anyone who dares to disagree with you, far, far more than me.  No comparison.   Your buddy Bunty tries, but is efforts are feeble, at best.  You two are just a couple of sad old bullies, repeatedly self-congratulating yourselves in the most embarrassing way, in public, for all to see.  As you would say, you guys "like" each other too much.


That was a tough loss, but we can chalk that one up to "baseball".  A seeing eye double, then a bloop hit.  Got to give the Phillies credit with the hard hit double, but that loss was more bad luck than bad play. Last year when we had blown saves, it was bad pitching.


It is a rhetorical question....I didn't want to insult folks intelligence by stating as much.


Sorry YNT and Kon, but the cavalry (9th Circuit) has ridden over the hill and again saved us from our own arrogance, greed and selfishness. The 9th Circuit's understanding of Alaska issues dwarfs that of certain commenters on this site, maybe because those judges pay attention to the notion of "the greater good" and concern for the future. Learn from history. Remember when millions of buffalo roamed our Great Plains only to be hunted to near extinction. Wise and forward looking humans took the requisite steps to keep that from happening. Polar bears are Alaska's buffalo.

Silence implies consent when it comes to matters of a potential Trump presidency.


I'm not sure if the President deserves that much credit for a planned distraction, but we can go wtih that.   lol


If he liked it so much, then why congress are not on Obamacare?  I believe the President need
to cancelled their health insurance and all of them go to Obama care.


He's a fun character to read about

So are Wolfe, Bolles, Von, Talib, Domato, Gotsis, Sanders, Derby, CJ,Jamaal. Hope I haven"t forgotten any one else who has colorful quotes. Trevor is boring, but sometimes his "aww shucks, me and the Beave" camp act is funny, when it gets absurd, he does sneak in a little wink joke, once in a long while.


They are not taxing pollution , they are taxing CO2


“What Medicare does is it provides health care with a 2 percent administrative overhead. Private health insurance provides health care with a 35 percent administrative overhead,” Miller said.

Medicare doesn’t fully cover prescription drugs and long-term care, high-cost items that many struggle to purchase, he added. “They have to get private insurance to fill in the gaps.”

I have Medicare and an Advantage plans.  My Advantage plan is considered my primary plan and Medicare is considered my secondary plan.  In other words, my Advantage plan always pays first and Medicare may pay second if allowed.

Could this be the reason why Medicare has only a 2 percent administrative overhead?  Also, I did not receive Medicare coverage(?) until I turned 65 years of age although I paid into the system all the years I was working.

What are these Democrats thinking?  There's no free lunch unless you take it from other people.


Um, you left something out......the 2,996 deaths ON Sept. 11.  Did you think there would be NO reaction?


The NEB, during Harper's tenure, also approved the Northern Gateway and the Line 9 reversal.


Scott Gessler has been taking a beating for years from you liberals.  I really doubt he needs a safe space.


I think the problem is too many people ARE doing just that; watching them.  Don't get me wrong.  The current crop of news avenues in our state all give us the problems.  Sound bites aren't long enough for long form discussion/analysis/discussion/resolution process.  I get that.  But if Fink or Blangiardi or Huffington really wanted to report on the options we have to correct the situations, then THIS media is probably one of the better places to start.  However, if it is frontloaded or appears to be frontloaded with a one-sided agenda from the get-go, readers may opt for other avenues for consumption.  That's why Bulletin and Advertiser and NY Times et al are struggling...and losing.  If da ice cream no moa taste, den nobody going buy, dey going bye.

The final voting result did show Mrs Clinton having 3 million more votes, so the polls were not completely wrong. Second, a lot of people who voted for Trump were too ashamed to admit to pollsters that they were going to vote for him ( I expect questions on sex get equally honest responses). So his voters went and did something they were too ashamed to take ownership of. Sad!


Worked in the industrial environment for 40 years.  Definitely a hot place in the summer.  Extra hydration is always a concern and employees are watched closely during the hot days of summer.  Anyone who has been around industrial plants in the summer knows the dangers.


Bethel and our region is so proud of Natalie Hanson.   She comes from a great family who has always been involved in competitive sports from basketball, softball wrestling and more.   Keep doing great things NAT


Agreed. So, you didn't look at your Huffington Post source then, did you?
That makes for a strange discussion when you list your source for what you're saying, but don't know what it says yourself.
Have a look, you'll find the link in your comment above.


Opposing Obamacare worked for the Republicans


Don't be sorry.  This is a mess of his own creation.  He knew exactly what he was doing and said it several times for his own self-promotion.


all R&D is done in America. CHina has stolen a lot, but that is ending with Solar City/Tesla.


I'm not sure how scaling back the drug co-operation helps Mexico's citizens.


That should help the black market immensely.


Equally important, why would well paid high tech professionals want to set up in Ontario and pay  a 53.5% marginal tax rate starting at $200k??? (and high below that level too). Go to Boston in Taxachusetts which appears to be a low tax jurisdiction in comparison.


"The Wassermann test or Wassermann reaction (WR) is an antibody test for syphilis, named after the bacteriologist August Paul von Wassermann, based on complement-fixation."


Any chamber of commerce calendar would give them that "intel." Major track meet? No kidding, what a novel idea for these parts. Major music festival? Only every summer since Nixon invaded Cambodia. Football shuttles? There's a new concept. Why blow up 60 when waiting until the bus empties at the venue puts "them" among 10 times as many victims or more? Just poor staff work. Or a product of local public education.

Well said.


Coordination's not the issue. Honesty is.

The baker agreed in writing to abide by state laws and regulations then went back on his word. According to my grandfather, the baker is technically a man, no more.

Now that he got caught breaking the law, he wants legal protection to freely discriminate.
Do you go back on your word?


Don Maki, I imagine Joe Biden is still kicking himself for not throwing his hat into the ring. His son's death was just a bit untimely about then.


The antifa thugs are fascists themselves and are twenty times in number more than white racists..


Great! We were denied hearings by the GOP when the House passed their bill. We must do want we can to make sure that does not happen in the Senate.


Now you and Manning can transition together....
Congratulations.


I think the headline meant to say "cause of UNNATURAL deaths," which is the case in the deaths of ALL persons in the U.S.


Check out the Maritimes. There are not enough electrons to get into the whole debate about what will drive job growth in the long term, but let's keep it simple and realize that they need an injection of new citizens.
Evil? Dishonourable? I don't really think we are talking about the same thing.


Because Alabama and Louisiana are doing so great!


"And we’ve committed to 100 percent renewable energy by 2045..."
Not true. Not even close.
The fact is, Hawaii's law on renewable energy omits our greatest source of climate pollution - the burning of kerosene jet fuel for the long-haul transport of nearly 10 million visitors from their homes around the planet to our islands and back again. Add in Hawaii resident and military air transport, and this sector generates CO2 equivalents totalling twice ALL other sectors combined!
Due to our popularity and geographic isolation, tourism here is a very very dirty industry, When Hawaii's aviation sector emissions are properly accounted for, our average per capita climate pollution is one of the worst in the Nation, and much greater than California's.
Chad and CB should stop feeding the state's ra-ra propaganda around our deficient climate plan and lack of committment to carbon neutrality. A real plan would require aviation CO2 offsets, such as local reforestation carbon credits. Let's do it!


Who would react "funny" to her own post, especially when it's not funny? Domestikgoddez, I guess. Come back again when you are sober.


"Boys with a normal viewpoint were taken out of the fields and offices and factories and classrooms and put into the ranks. There they were remolded; they were made over; they were made to "about face"; to regard murder as the order of the day. They were put shoulder to shoulder and, through mass psychology, they were entirely changed. We used them for a couple of years and trained them to think nothing at all of killing or of being killed.  Then, suddenly, we discharged them and told them to make another "about face" ! This time they had to do their own readjustment, sans [without] mass psychology, sans officers’ aid and advice and sans nation-wide propaganda. We didn’t need them any more."

Blame the ACLU. No doubt "5150" was misused, but the "let them roam free" doctrine isn't working either.


Mark surely you read about the causes of the Fort Mac fire, climate change or as you put a dry spring was never mentioned.


Political Realignment: A Challenge to Thoughtful Canadians - Hon. E.C. Manning 1967.

A decent man, with insight, a roadmap for what Conservatives should be in Canada.


Morneau is either incredibly politically naive or incredibly stupid and I don't believe he's stupid. Surely someone close to him with even a scintilla of legal knowledge should have said, 'Bill, put your assets in a blind trust. If you don't, you could well be drawn into any number of conflicts whether real or perceived. Either way they'll kill your credibility to manage the nation's finances. For me, this is the last straw--Morneau should resign or be fired. Full stop.


You are being sexist, Margaret, and painting women as the victims.  Lots of trolls ARE women, and, they will happily troll other women.  Unfortunately, we have come to the stage where if anyone says something you don't like, you call it 'trolling'.   Like anyone, I have had negative comments and replies from both men & women, just as I expect will occur here - be sure you look at the female names that are trolling me, and be sure to write an article about it called 'why women are trolls'.   That would be fair, now wouldn't it?


Out, alienating millions of Americans?  Mountain bikers are only 3% of the population and Wilderness Areas are only 2.5% of the land area in the lower 48 States.  If you can't find great places to ride in the other 97.5% of the land area, well, then we should really be going all out to protect Wilderness Areas.


Thank you for this enlightened article.  Ten million dollars is much lower than would be awarded by a jury of his peers, given  the torture this kid was put through.


Oh please.  Grow up.


You first, then I'll answer you.  I consider this necessary so I have a better idea who it is I'm talking to:

Was Jonathan Ferrell's shooting justified?


Firstly, your "feelings" are irrelevant to reality. Don't care what you "prefer" or what "resonates" with you.  Won't pander to your preferences or your sanctimonious sense of "victim-hood" predicated on the imagined "slights" reality has inflicted on you.  These are non-issues.  Secondly, what you overlook is that, while languages do evolve, NO language in human history has ignored the reality of human biological and sexual bipolarity (i.e. that humans exists as males and females--that's a FACT.  Write it down).  Thirdly, the pathetic, ideologically-forced examples you give won't be the first.  They will be consigned to the scrap-heap of history as they deserve, because the survival of our SPECIES will require it.  We are faced with far more urgent and daunting challenges than what makes you and your pampered, attention-seeking ilk "uncomfortable."  You can of course continue to whine and complain because we reject your "ideological" fallacies.  And we'll continue to laugh at you.


Good and necessary article.  The idea of inclusion is going to have be supported over and over again by more and more people.  To think that Canada is by nature safe from a "Trump" is naive.


Amazing how many bogus charges by overreaching prosecutors are filed against cops when the media spotlight is on. Shameful.


you are fixated on the tool. determined psycho/sociopaths will use whatever tool is available. take away tools that are legal and responsibly owned by 99.9999% of  gun owners, and you will not stop one determined criminal from carrying out his compulsion.

There is no reason why democrats should be anti-gun. We drove many middle America democrats out of the party to become Reagan Republicans and vote against their own self-interest, in part, because our Vietnam protest and reaction to political assassinations of the 60's. led to an unstoppable zeal to recreate the party into a rainbow coalition. We became pacifists who hired out our war-making to professionalized military of the poor and people of color. We live in cities  where we depend on police to provide the illusion of security and we are shocked, shocked! when violence shatters the delusion.  And of course we feel entitled to legislate against everything we don't like.  Why can't we take responsibility for our own security?


What? Are we surprised again?
muslim president of US did all the damage he could to non muslim countries.
He has already got into the history as worst US president and the only one who bounds to Saudi kings.
The only way we can do the world better is to send obam, killary and other clintons to the space for the lifetime  journey


Can we have a follow up on what is happening with interest on delinquent tax payments Mr Herz?

The first part of the bill talks about delinquent tax payments having interest of only 3 years?
http://www.legis.state.ak.us/PDF/30/Bills/HB0111A.PDF

Why?

When oil companies sued the state for $100 Million plus $400 Million interest, they were charging 17.5% compound interest for every year.
https://www.adn.com/business-economy/energy/2016/12/16/state-wins-case-against-oil-companies-worth-an-estimated-500-million/

First, Why can they sue us but we can't sue them for unpaid taxes?

Why is our interest rate so low we only charge 8%?
"2007 and 2009 found the state was owed an additional $416 million in taxes, plus another $368 million in interest"
https://www.adn.com/business-economy/2017/02/05/energy-royalty-audits-and-adjustments-brought-alaska-an-additional-117-million-in-2016/

And now they want to reduce delinquent tax interest to only 3 years?  How does this help the state?


what a load of shit this town is. this guy should have answered the door with an AR with a 30 round clip. keep shooting until these worthless fucked up imports are all laying in the street bleeding to death. the mayor would then award the victim a 50k reward. end of story.

Everything your grandparents and parents fought for in the great wars is gone because of liberalism.


Does this condition apply to China?  How much carbon do you think they're emitting when 95% of the junk we buy is made there?


Sad story, anticlimactic ending though.  Now when is the SA going to post about the Fresno shooting, killing 3 white males that just occurred by a man that hates whites.  He also yelled, "Allahu Akbar!!!!"  Oh sorry SA won't post that article, the fake news will.


Casting your net far afield to find new items for your dump on anything Candian posts...............really........... a topic as inconsequential as Canadian teens tennis? Wow.


Oooooh...feel the burn.


Any school that I or any one in my family went to had separate locker rooms. I've never been in a locker room or shower where I was exposed to the opposite gender naked. Where do these schools exist? I've never been to a pool or beach that did not separate shower areas. Not even in Hawaii or California. I also didn't say anything about outrage. I said I am opposed to it in locker rooms and showers. You can get all self righteous if you like . You also brought it back to the"bathroom".


Just like the Kyoto accord the targets will not be met. Justin is a master at wasting time.


Big insurance and their bought and paid for politicians will fight single payer tooth and nail.  If and when public opinion swings far enough to apply enough pressure to make it a reality, we may join the rest of the western world, with coverage for all.  Think about it, the uninsured get little or no preventive care and present in emergency rooms for care, you are paying for that.  Make it a requirement for wellness checks perhaps, catching conditions early is so much better and saves $$$, and improves health for all.  Offer incentives for more to enter the medical field, be smart about immigration and allow skilled health care professionals to work in the USA, improve care in rural areas where it is needed most, stop the slide toward 3rd world life expectancy numbers, improve productivity and lost time for employers, this is not rocket science, keep politics away from health care.


Obama's critics are the ones with the prejudicial ways....

We would be in a cooling phase if it were not for our emissions ...600 billion tons.  A few scientists is the 70s predicted ice age because they didn't factor in the CO2.

Wow...visit the cannabis store today?  Maybe see a Unicorn?  You are lost in the clouds Gigi.


Sorry, O. The courts haven't ruled on the legality of the ban. That trial is just getting started. The Ninth Circuit only ruled on the temporary restraining order which they didn't change.

They didn't review national security policy or make any new laws, as you suggest.

They did find that Trump's assertion that his national security actions were not subject to judicial review was wrong.


Yes, and Florida should have a similar law too ...


As long as consumers have to pay tax on purchases of under $25 I think these businessmen can afford to pay this little bit of extra tax the government is asking of them.


Christopher Mercer who killed all those students at the community college at Roseburg Oregon October 2015, was just as black as Barack Obama.


So true about butchering.  Fact is that virtually all politicians are butchers not by trade, but instead, by default.  We vote for surgeons but get butchers instead.  They're commonly substantively ignorant, incorrigible, and narcissistic.  Even smart people after being elected inevitably become dumb.  I wonder whether politics isn't a disease?  The medical industry after great effort successfully got diabetes approved as a disease, so why not then politics?  Can you imagine the revenues the medical industry could reap?


The future is looking much, much brighter for American children. Thank you Betsy DeVos.

Before the Republican Party existed, there was a party called the Whigs who were certain they would never go away either. But in 1856, they lost an election to the Democrats ... an election in which the brand-new Republican Party acted as spoiler. In 1860, the Whig Party had ceased to be and the Republican Party won the White House and good chunk of Congresional seats. The South promptly seceded from the Union because they could see the handwriting on the wall.


This was simply a vendetta by others who disagreed with his involvement in the Galloway affair. Shameful on the part of the APTV. This is what our taxpayer money funds???

As Cardinal Pell faces up to his accusers in Australia, “Blessed are you, Father; Lord of heaven and earth; you have revealed to little ones the mysteries of the Kingdom” (Matthew 11:25).  Abused children do merit respect before the law.  “When the LORD came down to the top of Mount Sinai, he summoned Moses to the top of the mountain” (Exodus 19:20b) much as Cardinal Pell is being summoned to the Australian court.  Will Pell come out as Moses thundering or whispering with the holy words of God?  Whatever happens, it is the secular government that is taking the place of God in seeking to prioritize truth over politics, wherever truth leads.  “Glory and praise for ever!” (Daniel 3:52b).  “Amen, I say to you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it” (Matthew 13:17), referring to Church accountability for truth.

If one feels uncomfortable with where their money might go, here is another alternative.  Carry a few waters, a couple pairs of socks (street gold!), a bag of dog food, a blanket, whatever.  Hand it out instead, people will be grateful.

Hey, honey, pretty tough when it strikes close to home, isn't it?   The world needs tolerance for ALL.  Try speaking up earlier next time.


It was a horrible lose of decorum in the presidential debates and it doesn't apply here either.

oh I am kept up. But its hard to keep up with someone who's spinning around in circles.

There is NO connection between oil prices and terrorism.  These are radical ideological movements not economic ones.

So ISIS propped up and started torturing Christians, killing gays, ( ours and theirs) because they wouldn't contract with us for oil? Please the tinfoil hat is getting a tad tight around the head.


What have the "average" sacrificed?  You're long on hyperbole, short on facts.  I would argue that the cost of doing nothing is vastly greater, particularly for the "average" person, than the cost of doing something.  It would seem you think the question here is who hurts more, the average man or the elite.  You want the average man to win this battle...but the truth is, it will cost the average man the war.


Mr. Oppegaard you have been played. Mr. Reyes affects hurt feelings because someone spells his name wrong and you leap to his defense.  The elderly lady should be affronted because you agree that she is anti-semitic. Amazing.

No time to cook? I don't buy that. It is easy to make excuses, but you could use the same brain to work out a plan on how to do things. It is doable.
One thing I have learned over the years, is that many poor people are simply choose to be poor. There is no way for them to be financially healthy. I used to have a low end townhouse. I have tried many times to educate my tenant how important it is to save and get out of the vicious cycle, in vain. I had end this misery by selling the house. I let the tenant go forgiving about $3000 in payment.


This is an emotionally charged issue so it is easy to take what appears to be the moral high ground and weigh this on the charge that these are heinous criminals who deserve no rights because the crime involves children. But there is no differentiation in the label and on that grounds it needs to be revisited.  Also, why is there not a "convicted murderer" registry - or a "home invaders" registry.  If I have an accountant, or deal with a bank, should I not be able to access a registry of those who are convicted embezzlers?   Anyone who challenges the fairness of this law puts themselves up as a target of "moral outrage" and judgment that they are a supporter of pedophiles and rapists.  American is now a country in love with judgment, as long as it is happening to someone else.


It really wasn't about the niqab, was it? It was dog whistle politics. Sound like you are being reasonable, but actually aim at an entire ethnic group or religion.

The reason a lot of non Muslim ethnic minorities in the 905 area switched their vote from the Conservatives to the Liberals was that they recognized who the next ethnic targets would be.


I'm so glad vinyl is making a come back. I have all my 45's -LP'S- and 78's and cassettes and won't part with them. It's what I grew up with and I find it sad you can down load music and movies to me it's not right. I don't do it and I won't. This down loading stuff has put a lot of business out of a job and it's sad. Hope you guys do well and stay for along time. Call me old fashion but it is what it is and it's what I like.

A new liberal government in power and a Quebec company gets another bail out. nothing to see here folks move on.

Much of the Trans-Siberian is electrified.  Between Beijing and the Mongolian border you'll pass a number of coal fired generation plants...they sit right along side the tracks (in fairly remote areas). I'm guessing, those supply power for the train and cities. At the border, engines and wheels (different track gauge) on the entire train are swapped...after which you'll begin noticing the smell of diesel exhaust.

However, this IS, hands-down our best bet for clean & abundant power:

Yeah, it would be like if a small town newspaper wrote an article about Denver's growth then accompanied that article with pictures of homeless people shooting up or whacking off.  It is the truth to some of what is going on in the cities but not the entire picture.  These pictures just fit in with their already prejudiced ideas of what is rural America.


Sorry but too many challenges for me....prefer Disqus model for many reasons. Problems, frustrations with this model include...,
Having go log in each time...support team not yet able to solve.
Limited characters. Sometimes a "full throated" text requires more "space".
Cannot figure out how to edit - edit option seems not to exist.
Questions and ratings after submission - frustrating, silly.
Rating as re: civil opens door to what exactly is civil...reminds me of the oft
    noted quote..."depends on what is, is".  Imagine assertive comments will be
    interpreted as aggressive or not "civil" enough.
Disqus system much easier and straight forward for editing, up voting, down voting, seeing history of comments, logging in and staying "in". I could list more problems with this system but must stop as I used up my allowed characters, so must stop here.
Will end with Good Bye and hope that maybe Disqus will return.


Why are the large international insurance companies starting to demand a response to global warming?  Because they see major hits to their bottom lines coming.  They certainly know something that you don't.

You permanently give up your right to vote in state and federal governmental affairs, than you can keep your dividend.  I think it is rude and presumptuous to expect someone else to subsidize another person's way of life.

The government doesn't belong subsidizing individuals through welfare and it doesn't belong subsidizing corporate risk through corporate welfare.

The math just doesn't work, to fix our problem, without capping the dividend at a level of less than 1/2 of what it is today.   EVEN WITH AN INCOME TAX!!!!!

Obama issued out of an exec order to circumvent the legislative process after the original bill wasn't going his way.  By that token alone, Obama understood such a bill needed Congressional support.  But Obama decided the ends justified the means when he didn't get his way and made abused the law-making process.  I voted for Obama (twice) and made campaign contributions to elect him, but he consistently abused the legislative process when he didn't get his way and in doing so, he created a playbook/precedent for Trump to do the same thing.  It's a bitter pill to swallow, but it's our reality.


All of those are graduate degrees, which require an undergraduate degree in some related field.  Both UAA and UAF provide those undergraduate degrees.  One of the big advantages about getting an undergraduate education in Alaska, besides the obvious proximity and cost savings, is students get most of their classes from full-time Ph.D.-holding faculty, not graduate students.  Universities with large Ph.D. programs have those doctoral students teach many of the classes, while the full-time faculty focus on their research.  A great reputation for a university does not necessarily translate into great undergraduate education.  It's usually the opposite.

The bad guys are not afraid of the cops. Our criminal justice system has no effect on a certain kind of bad guy. But "roaming bands of vigilantes" would strike fear into their hearts. The extra legal killing of just two or three weirdos would have a huge positive effect.

It's interesting to read all the comments critical of Trump's decision to take a strategic action against Assad.  It was a remarkable pin point strike, with minimal loss of life. Even Senator Schumer strongly supported the strike, along with many Democrats (except for the usual pro Muslim characters).  Ms. Gabbard's position is curious at the very least.  We cannot turn back the clock, but if President Trump was elected 8 years ago, do you believe a half million deaths would have occurred in the middle east? Do you believe ISIS would exist today, be about the same, or be stronger and a larger presence throughout the world?  Clearly Trump wanted to send a firm message to all evil regimes, that we're not going to "lead from behind". Trump is not going to criticize the U.S. He's not going to weaken the U.S. by promoting the export of jobs.  So all of you who are critical of Trump, all the time, on this issue, you might listen to the leaders of your own party (except maybe for Ms. Gabbard)


You must be kidding! Ever hear of elder lunch, community gatherings, graduation ceremonies?


Tourism is very expensive for this state versus the return. Look at the number of people that need emergency services that they get for free. Granted if we go to another state we become a burden on them for emergencies, but no other state has so few police and medical/rescue services when our population more than doubles in the tourist season.


Gail- simple Google check will yield you the slew of Federal statute (and the resulting form to fill out) that deals with a person convicted of domestic violence.  Based on your state, there are also prohibitions for those who have been convicted of lesser offenses, as well.


No, the statues of Union generals, if there are any, stay. The U.S. won, not the Confederacy. Ya see, Chuck Blinn, if the Confederacy had won, they could have kept their slaves. But, as it turns out, they lost, so they don't get to keep their slaves. Ya see how that works?


Akskiman, the more you bleat on about how "corrupt" Hillary is, with no proof WHATSOEVER, the more you show yourself to be a stupid wind-up toy for the Russian propagandists and their puppet, Trumputin.  Hillary was smeared for 30 years by fake news and you're proof that a segment of the American public lacks the critical thinking skill to be anything other than sheep.  Congratulations, you're a tool of this country's greatest enemy, Putin and Russia.  You're a traitor.

KM is dead in the water, and for good reason.


There's the Issue of *Ground Water* in Rural Communities & for the Families who Drink the Ground Water Daily, which  is Not being discussed here.
Ground Water is Life

The Life of Ground Water should Not be Contaminated with the run off from decomposing bodies of any Human Group.

If you haven't actually seen Where this Cemetery is located then do take a hard look at where the proposed Cemetery is located.

It is to sit behind a Small Community of Rural Homes. Families with Children & Grandparents; those who generally have compromised immunity systems.

Decomposing human remains, boxed or otherwise, in the Backyard is NOT a good idea for the Families of that Community.

No One Has Asked The People What They Think. Everyone assumes the Worst - Which In & Of Itself is Biased & Destructive.

'Ground Water' is an important Issue which seems to have been conveniently forgotten.

But then 'Ground Water' is a practical issue unlike the accusations being tossed around in the MSM. What a shame.


I have five cats and two dogs, three of which are rescue animals.  Like most Alaskans I eat a great deal of meat, many different varieties.  I do not hunt and I do not trap.  I keep track of the Iditarod, don't watch bull fighting (or white it), and I do not support those that abuse and slaughter animals, including PETA.  You obviously completely missed my point.  PETA is one of the most egregious animal abuse organizations in the country.  Why should I give a rat's arse about what they think about the Iditarod, or those companies who acquiesce to their unlearned and ignorant demands?


Are you are still fighting World War II?


There appear to be select segments of our society that get a "pass" on personal responsibility.  :-/


Wondering if  the Doyon - Aramark bus shuttle contract operating costs would be revised upwards as well.


ToTL, I have heard your special message to me many times. It hasn't improved much over the years, and of course, I take it with a grain of salt. What I wrote is that most actual book banning is done by school boards in red states, like Texas. That isn't closed mindedness, that is simply paying attention to facts. If you have some links to "book burning" by Democrats, I would certainly take a look at them, but I haven't heard of any so far. The Democratic Party has always stood up for social end economic rights for persons of all faiths and colors, ever since the Southern Dixiecrats abandoned the Dems and switched to Republicans, who shifted toward racial discrimination after Strom Thurmond lost the presidential nomination. That was quite a while ago, about sixty years. Now Republicans stand for Big Business and Jim Crow.


the relationship with the police will never be repaired pride.... ur membership told the cops to fornicate off and they did now u want to repair that - I think an apology first then lets see where u want to go - this militant stand that u take pride will only hurt ur group in the long run but the non-inclusive forces that are driven by hatred will be ur downfall - ur own community isnt solidly behind u


As a small business owner that already have to pay State tax and other taxes concerning  my business expense it is such a relieve that Council is creating a less burden for small businesses not having to pay additional B&O tax however businesses with a revenue of over $250,000 should not have to wear the burden of increase taxes either, there must be a balance for smaller & larger business. Hopefully through Chambers of Commerce voice for the business community we can come with a better stragedy for both.


But you are assuming that God creates us with all our faults and disordered tendencies-and we all have them. Yes, we are all called to, as Our Lord put it: "Judge with right judgment". What is meant by "judge not" is "do not condemn".  By encouraging someone in their gravely sinful behavior ie, applauding homosexual sex, it is you, sir who are condemning them.


How is losing hundreds of millions of dollars of shareholder money "relatively nothing"???  What does the price of oil have to do with lousy investments in industries that sustained major losses like Evergreen and Piksik?


"Pot is a gateway drug" Thank you Ronald Reagan for that nonsensical insight that has kept 16-year olds behind bars and life-altering criminal records. This one statement has exemplified the failure of conservative thinking for 70 years "Do what what we say or we'll send you to jail" social experiment.


If SteveVickRepoboy had been taken to Germany when he was 9 years old, he would, like most German youth at the time, have been indoctrinated with Nazi ideology and pressured to belong to Hitler's Youth organization (wear uniforms, attend rallies and be militarized). By 15 he would almost certainly have considered himself a German and in the dying days of the war possibly fought (without given an option) as a brave, dedicated soldier for Hitler Jugend against the allied forces in France. He would not have been a traitor to England even when throwing a grenade at allied troops. It would have been what he had been brainwashed for, trained and believed he had to do. His actions would have been that of a child soldier - just like Khadr.
SteveR was not taken from his home in the UK to a foreign land when he was 9 and indoctrinated in an evil cause. There lies the difference. This is a case of apples and oranges.

Thank you Justine. In Ms. Clark we have an assertive Premier who is not afraid to push the envelope. However, don't let your sons or daughters grow up to emulate her actions.


Good for the Globe and Mail,
"But it would be an epic display of near-criminal irresponsibility for the Trudeau government to give  shuanggui and the detention of human-rights activists the blessing of this country."
Trudeau should read this and have it posted on his mirror so these words will sink in.
Only liberal politicians and the communist like the idea of extradition treaty.


Afraid of all the Trump supporters there?


This American isn't "...thrilled with our President.". I know many others who aren't either. Polls indicate currently 2/3rds of Americans disagree with Trump's performance.


What do they need a jury for, or even a court for that matter? Villages have been banishing their criminals to Anchorage, Juneau and Fairbanks for decades.


"Actually, what you did point out was that the college educated Americans who voted for Trump were mostly white"

I simply quoted 2 sentences from the article mentioned. "Mostly white" is about as important to me as you pointing out Clinton had the edge in the "educated" vote but the "uneducated" saved the day.. Insinuating race was my agenda while I specifically stated the vote in question had a feminist slant obviously demonstrates your propensity to believe and distribute the lie all Trump supporters are racist. Sorry, you're wrong. You tried to bring the KKK into the mix at one time, pretending the whopping 5k strong membership out of 330M Americans was a true representation of Trump supporters and the U.S. I suggest you face reality and try other tactics - this one isn't working.


Union version of 'Democracy' is veto power to .o1%. Money and power easily corrupt the leaders of sheep.


(Sigh) Fred, it'll come as no surprise to you to lean that I disagree with your opinion of my post, the point of which you missed. Oh, and please provide cites for your statement about cats being second only to human-engendered etc. Finally, nice try on the "in terms of destruction of wildlife, " Fred. You and I both know the most destructive force on the planet is mankind, far and above any other species, including, but not limited to--by any means--wildlife.


With such a mind for seeing through the BS and explaining the complex world of politics in a spot-on, succinct manner it is sad to see he has been silenced.
Perhaps this will serve as a warning to the next brilliant guy to control himself lest he too goes down in flames.
Peace to any that may have been harassed by him.
Peace also to the hateful trolls that will be commenting today.


Wrong. Doctors know they are being watched VERY closely these days.


I would encourage Via Rail to offer similar deals for May, June and August. If this is not a profitable option for Via, government subsidies would be in order. I love the idea that Canadian youth should be encouraged to see our amazing country.

Farm worker trying to protect her crops....


Long ago I gave up putting any stock in the opinions of Toronto-centric newspapers and how they see things running in Alberta.

It's not up to the government to "diversify the economy", and when I hear that it's a sure fire sign of high school level analysis.  The government reaps benefits as it collects royalties from where the private investment went.. should they have been like Ontario and tried their best to stop all that investment?  No, the job of the government should be to manage public finances in a prudent manner to handle the variability of that income stream.  Why no one at the Globe can make this simple point isn't really surprising.


Yes! If companies are to benefit from innovation, there should be a way for society to benefit as well.  At the same time, more effort should be directed to re-training/re-education.


More gut-wrenching laughable; Becky Robinson  is a strict vegan, yet has no problem torturing 2,400M birds and 12,300M other animals to death YEARLY with her cats. She even tortures millions of cats each year with her TNR attrition. That's 6.6 MILLION birds PER DAY and 33.7 MILLION other animals PER DAY.

And whales, seals, dolphins, marsupials, manatee, inland and sea-otters, and large cats she is killing worldwide by spreading T. gondii and feline diseases. She's even killing rare Florida Panthers.

Or those boiled-alive animals with a "Cat Food!" label that she gleefully accepts from PestSmart and is turned into TNR-grants to perpetuate the Kill-Animals-for-Kitties gravy-train profiteering.

She's a Typhoid-Mary Vegan destroying BILLIONS of animals. The absolute worst carnage and torturing of animals in the history of humanity being single-handedly caused by A VEGAN.

I'm really surprised that every last vegan on earth hasn't synthetic-tarred and faux-feathered her yet.


"People of the United States have been blindly celebrating Columbus Day ..."

If by blindly celebrating you mean walking to the mailbox after work, finding it empty, and then remembering the mailman had the day off, then yeah I'm partying like its 1999.

I've always advocated for calling it Explorers Day, to honor not just Columbus but Magellan, de Gama, Ericksen, and others of that era plus folks like Lewis and Clark and Neil Armstrong.


UH SUCK!!


There is an aura of dissociation in any recent piece I have read on this issue of keeping the museum open. I  used to be intrigued by their story, and by the photos of the five little girls, and yet, now there are only two, we see only pictures of them as 83 year olds, not as little girls or teenagers, or as babies.  The  old images we see of the five, now, identify them as a group, not as individuals.

If you want to garner interest in these two that are left, in the request they are making, then why not show images of the two individuals as little ones,  playing, or posing, and identify them in group pictures.    It is hard to relate to them as real children, when it is only the media's presentation of them that we get to see.   It's almost as if the media of today is perpetuating the original problem - not really seeing them as human beings.

The story of these five remarkable premature babies survival should be preserved for all Canadians to remember in years to come.


"Stirring up US media fur political gain against Overall Canadian interests is just short of traitorous."

True North 60: I'm not sure what you mean by this? Americans will also understand that according to polling most Canadians are opposed to the settlement. If anything, this fiasco will demonstrate that Americans and Canadians, rather than being divided along a line delineated by an international boundary, are largely on the same page on this.


Then magically deleted again.


A quote from an interview with Douglas Coupland discussing some of Marshall McLuhan's theories, pulled from an article in yesterday's Globe and Mail:

<<"And there was this one line from McLuhan that seemed especially relevant: “The politician will be only too happy to abdicate in favour of his image, because the image will be so much more powerful than he will ever be.”  >>

Kind of speaks volumes, doesn't it?


He speaks his mind like many people who think they are above the law.


too old


Correlation ≠ Causation . This article seems to imply that "Marijuana" use is causing these crashes, but it can be detected in the blood weeks or even months after being used. Alcohol is much more dangerous on the road, and this is likely to produce an unnecessary onslaught of reefer madness propaganda.

Tourists who have been traveling to this state after legalization in droves - who are unfamiliar with the landscape, and sometimes bad winter weather conditions are a much more affecting factor in my opinion.


I'm curious why, with her credentials both career wise and familial, she isn't entering politics at the federal level.

"Limited mortgage interest deductibility, for a first owner occupied home, limited to a $500,000 mortgage,"

A classic transfer of wealth from low incomes to high - no thanks.


From the story it's possible the guy was already seated in her vehicle before she got there.  As for why she didn't notice him upon approaching her vehicle, it's also possible the side and rear windows are darkly tinted, as many vehicle owners, especially those of SUVs and pickup trucks in Hawaii, seem to prefer.


Another ill informed ignorant shabby piece of journalism. Israeli intelligence and Chinese and  Russian intelligence and the British and the French and especially the CIA are all over that place. Canada is so pathetically outclassed in the intelligence world..it is ludicrous to even talk about it...why not  have Roger Federer show up at the Rideau Tennis club in Ottawa and play the club champion.


Actually, we only really owe the Guptas once they manage to rid us of the cANCer by killing it like the disease it is..

"""From the minute you get in, they teach you that you cannot be successful on your own - it takes a team. """

Sajjan may have misspoken but he is still one hell of a soldier and is entitled to one mistake.

""" it was about throwing "the team" under the bus."""   How did you get thrown under the bus.  How did it affect you in any way??


Don't expect solutions from liberals.  It's either all or nothing with them.  They'll blame everyone for the actions of a few.  They're fresh out of any other ideas..


Ironic that the vessels involved in this process have been called floating prison by the Associated Press and other observers.  This is the height of greed and corruption.  A congressional panel is calling for the enforcement of violations of anti-slavery laws, poor sanitation, and labor laws on these vessels.  The State Legislature will convene in January to discuss these human trafficking issues, illegal workers, untaxed workers and the potential to carry food borne illnesses by these persons unlawfully fishing.  There will be those that urge the president to rescind his order ad many more voices to keep in place.  These are the same people that disrupted the meeting of world conservationist earlier this year.  Money, money, money....  Where is the courage, justice, good, moderate. pious and virtuous board.   They are slavers and violators of state and federal law.  Trump will order the unlawful fisherman deported.
Your plan and letter are absurd.

These women like many of us, cherished those adrenaline filled moments that mother nature provides for us. It is always a tragic loss and a time for reflection for each one of us when a life is lost doing something we love to do. It is a personal choice to head out into the "wilderness" and you have to make decisions based upon the current conditions. There is no textbook or instructor that can teach you everything you need to know to survive. It is the "uncertainty of the unknown" that keeps me outdoors. Rules and regulations cannot fix the problems. We do not need TVs to act as passifiers for the time between working and sleeping.  Age (generally) is not an accurate measurement of ability. I am 28 and have participated in several endurance races. I am in good shape, but am always been humbled when someone twice my age passes me during a leg of an event. Those people are some of the most inspirational people i have seen. I hope i can continue doing it at their pace when i get there!

Given that the new US Ambassador to the United Nations, Nimrata "Nikki" Haley (née Randhawa) the daughter of Sikh immigrants from the Punjab and who is in the Globe elsewhere for "threatening" in typical American "My Way or the Highway" fashion  to be "taking names" of those who don't support the US, her assimilation into the great 'Merican melting pot in one generation is complete!

Wikipedia has a "precious" anecdote of her South Carolinian roots..."When Haley was five years old, her parents entered her in the "Miss Bamberg" contest.  The contest traditionally crowned a black queen and a white queen.  The judges decided Haley did not fit either category, so the judges disqualified her."

Regardless if Donald whose mother was also an immigrant wants the focus to be on the murder of Americans by other home grown multi-generational Americans by refusing access to the victims of world-wide violence, it's his way and his highway, one of which sooner or later may bear his name in memoriam.


So being repeatedly convicted in courts of law is not enough to convince you that these events are real ?

These are not conspiracy theories - these are just plain old fashioned conspiracies. Generally the likelihood of a conspiracy succeeding is inversely proportional to the number of people involved. Alll these conspiracies could be done by a handful of people - such a conspiracy tends to work and last quite a while before it becomes public.
A conspiracy theory is only crazy when it requires vast numbers of people to be complicit.


Having lost most of their support in Canada, Conservatives are leaning on their friends south of the border. There is no depth some people won't stoop to in search of power. Someone needs to tell Sheer that Canada is different from the U.S. and the imitation of Trump tactics won't take him very far.

"White people can go through discrimination but not racism. Reverse racism does not exist because I would never have the power to oppress someone the way the system can oppress marginalized people."

This comment alone is extremely racist and offensive; it's just a way to excuse the speaker's offensive speech and/or action. Even if her definition was correct - and it it's horribly problematic - by virtue of her power from her representation in media alone she would able to exercise racism against people of European descent. She is part of the system and wields this power. Who is she to say how others should be affected by her comments? This is a blatant example of her entitlement and patriarchy being used to leverage racist attacks on others. Native peoples in this land have been subjected to outrage on outrage. Speaking as someone with Metis children, the last thing Natives need is a self-appointed 'protector' with a racist agenda to use their existence as a shield to attack others.


Mike, meanwhile and back at the ranch...Trump is proposing huge ( 6 billion) cuts in research on major diseases...cancer, autism et al) and i think folks should sign the petition directed to both houses of Congress objecting to these immanent cuts!

Ivan, have you considered the idea that people are free to travel on public roadways? technically speaking, it should not matter what form of conveyance they choose, be it a horse, automobile, or bicycle they are allowed under the constitution to utilize that public right of way. the idea of a drivers license was developed originally to regulate those utilizing public roadways who were profiting (commercially) from the use of public roadways. it was a method originally developed to get more monies to maintain those roadways from commercial organizations. somewhere over the last century people have been duped into the idea that they need this or that to maintain safety at the price of trading a right to travel to the privilege to travel down that roadway in the form of a license. the ATV is nothing more than a motorcycle with 4 wheels, its far cheaper to purchase and operate than any auto, they also put out far less emissions.


lokela, why don't you bag then? Or are you just "one of those"?


The fact is American companies own lumber mills here and influence negotiations.
Why has  there not been innovation to metric to improve trade to other countries?

Loses out yet again.


Hey pocho, welcome back.  Did you mean "made in China like Trump ties"?


The corporate news made gave Trump a ton of free publicity while initially ignoring Sanders. Sanders proved that you could run a campaign on small donations if people really wanted what you're selling. Both candidates tapped into working-class anger at an establishment which has ignored or needs and often made our lives worse. The chickens are coming home to roost.


I'm worried your post will be censored, so I have kept a copy of it.


Trump hasn't duped anyone.  He is trying to get things done in a political system that requires commitment and dogged determination. Trump has both.  Making deals with Nancy and Chuck are what makes him an outstanding negotiator.  Democrats are enjoying the limelight, but it's high time both sides swallow their pride and do what is best for the greater majority of people in the shortest amount of time. Democrats have been given a free pass for too long now. They need to get off their hands and help fix immigration and border security. I am glad they've finally  committed to it and voters will be holding them accountable in November 2018.


About two or three decades ago the ICC agreed to refer to all "Eskimo" people as "Inuit."  There has been an abundance of publicity this past year @ how "Eskimo" is considered to be a slur by many and the term "Inuit" is more respectful.  The term would include the Inupiaq, Yup'ik, Aleut, and Sugpiaq people in Alaska.


Republican FEC members should launch the same type of probe, targeting CNN, MSNBC and The Huffington Post.


Thank you.  I've been a little embarrassed -- I tend to think I 'talk' too much.  Thank you again.


WELCOME TO THE NEW AMERICA...........  complete with enlightened leadership from Donald Trump and Jeff Sessions.

DeVos could have actually show some integrity........Unfortunately, she lacked the courage to do so.  Instead she allowed herself to be bullied by Trump and Sessions.  SAD,  SO SAD.....


Or the $484/mo I got in 1979.


Then start getting your suits ready to file.  The plaintiffs will probably win this suit.

What about the text of the suit you do disagree with, and what law are you applying?

(You didn't read the text of the suit, did you?)


Let's go over this again:
Obama followed the constitution and asked for permission to use force against Syria - he was denied by congress.  So if Trump ignores the constitution you don't care?  I know full well this didn't start under Trump's watch but it's not like Obama sat on his hands and ignored it...One more time - do you or do you not have an issue with a president ignoring the constitution and using force against a sovereign nation without congressional approval?

Putin is a total A-hole of the highest degree.  His complicity in the civil war in Syria as well as his duplicity at home is enough to make me wish him dead.  How's that for a derogatory statement?  Does that make me a patriot in your eyes now?

Finally, Trump can play Battleship any way he wants - of course it's his prerogative.  My point is why?  You are not going to scare Kim Jong Un and you might piss him off enough to push him over the edge.  Maybe he should have talked to the Chinese president about this.


Exactly?  So you agree that it's a slap in the face to all immigrants who became citizens by following the rules?  You are agreeing to my point by saying exactly.  So no, it's not absurd to deport this guy now as he should have been deported many years ago.  He should be contributing this wonderfulness to his home country, not to the US.  Think about the positive contributions he could make to his home country.  His daughter would be going to Yale and then returning to contribute even more wonderful things.


Rubbish.
Protecting your sources has been the center of Journalism throughout modern times.


And the funny thing on that is - China is starting to manufacture commercial airliners. I predict it is them who will be eating Boeing's lunch in the not too distant future. Lucky for Boeing that they are going to have all its new friends falling over themselves to help out- yeah right. They actually just injected themselves with a slow acting poison, like all the others taking advantage of the Trump protectionist  agenda.


There is no "homosexual agenda", other than a desire to (1) be accepted for who they are and (2) to be left alone to be what they are. Your fear and loathing for them does not speak well of you.


Our stepfather worked at this place, if a man can control frequency, then, he can control almost anything, even the human mind, as we have frequencies so high, it's almost criminal....hehe


I don't think you would find wisdom in suing, since there is already an applicable case where SCOTUS is poised to establish precedent.


Have a couple more questions before you run off and hide again, formerly.

How many active wildfires are burning in Alberta today ?

Are wildfires in December very common ?

What was the cost of the Fort McMurray wildfire this past Spring ?


Would love to see a copy of the playbook.  I guess you can't face the fact that he is exploiting your white racial anxiety.


Cue the usual band of Birkenstock-wearing bleeding hearts.. Those crossing the border illegally are law-breakers. Rather than be greeted with social welfare benefits for life, these people should be greeted by every gun-toting American available to defend the border. Given the growing invasion of illegals coming into Canada, perhaps our farmers and other rural people should be entrusted with defending our border with the U.S.. Clearly the RCMP and other so-called border security agencies have no intention of stopping the invasion.


No it doesn't. Otherwise they couldn't lead to the conclusions I made in the questions observed.
You said: ""Sexually_immature_men,_priests_and_not,_engage_in_sex_acts_with_children_and_teens"
That does on the other side of the same premise lead to/conclude then sexually mature men/priests should engage....children/teens. For, you've stated it yourself by saying that which should not (by account) they are immature to engage. Thus, the opposite of immature, is mature. You are qualifying in your argument the opposite would satisfy which should engage the intended subjects. You ought to say: Men/priests should not engage in sex acts with children/teens. Which doesn't depend on sexual maturity. You're qualifying the behavior from your argument, whether intended or not.

Similar(not same):  it could be said Alcoholics shouldn't engage in drinking alcohol. Does that mean those who are not alcoholics shouldn't engage in drinking? Point is the similar argument leads to the faulty conclusion.


The two party system is a broken system designed to divide and conquer and to squelch independent thought.  Mr. Babcock, as the republican puppeteer, this poorly written hit piece reeks of fear.


No kicking the can down the road any more! Get this done or get out of government!


I gave them an A,  just because they didn't give in to Caldwell and HART by extending the surcharge.


Alberta's Kangaroo Court seems to now again be in session.

These are some of the same people who denounce Human Rights Tribunals.

If you think that your behaviour here is actually acceptable and winning you support, let me assure you that it isn't.

Your so called leaders should have put a stop to these childish antics, but they didn't.

You are not Progressive Conservatives.

I am not really sure what you are.


Sadly being "right" is not always right.
If you are on the correct side of the road and there is a lorry coming straight at you you had still best get out of his way even though you are "right."


Anyone owning Saputo stock should sell it fast. It will likely implode.
Trudeau can't protect Canada's business elites and wealthy  any longer which have been ripping off Canadians for decades . Trump's next target is Canada's protected Telecom and Finances .
Canada's wealthy families and their Liberal Party enabled protected markets are gone. Sell BCE, Telus and Rogers before they implode too.
