Don't forget the plans for Thomas Square include a "snack bar."  Who would use it - this is not a traffic-heavy park.  Maybe they think concert goers will cross the street during intermission.  Of course, they would have to convince programmers to extend their intermissions to half-an-hour to give people enough time to get across the street.


Most Canadians are

And would like to make Canada a "safe space", free from the Canada-hating Liberals.

The appointment of Monsef/Al Zedeh was a slap in the face to Canadians, made all the worse by issues that should have prompted her removal.

Now we read of his handing out a 5.5% increase and $650 bonus to the federal public service unionists to buy their votes, at a time when federal spending is already out-of-control.. Just like Ontario's Kathleen Wynne Liberals, he's a cancer on Canada.


It may be that drivers who kill someone regret it....that is not the point.  there are drivers who are simply careless...of pedestrians, other motorists, just careless in general and there needs to be adequate consequences for such behaviour behind the wheel of a vehicle.


More proof that Liberalism might be a mental disorder.


"Drive positive change"?  Please.  Every actor, jock, and newscaster has suddenly become a social justice warrior.  You're a football team.  Have you forgotten?  Just drive the football down the field.


Trumps has no class.


What, no cheap China steel for the wall, I already knew there would be no wall, no blocking of immigration, no muslim ban, no jail for Clinton.  Since Trump lied and has no idea how to run government, Ryan and McConnell will be able to cut or eliminate medicare and turn social security over to their buddies.
  Dark days are coming for the working people who need social security and medicare, the gop will turn the US into Kansas on steroids, and if you follow what is happening in Kansas, it is classic Reganomics that is destroying the state.


3 stars for that drek. Give your head a shake.


Thank you for the links.  I'll be interested to see if it were major law firms that sponsored the studies.  ;-)

Commentators have mooted for some years that we in the U.S. would be way ahead to adopt the British style of civil jurisprudence - you may file all the lawsuits you wish, but any plaintiff that fails to make their case is presented with all the court costs at the end.  This would go a long ways toward eliminating the excesses of the casino-style system of litigation that we have in the U.S., presently.   But as I noted to Gary above, Pigs Will Fly, first ...

I would imagine that the TLA is all in favor of a single-payer, government-run healthcare system.  Instead of filing suit of mere millions or $10s of millions in damages, the sky would be the limit!  (Hundreds of millions, or billions!  After all, the Government has infinitely-deep pockets!)  :-/


It's pretty clear some oil shill is censoring one entire side of this discussion. Completely transparent, completely deplorable. Fuck you.


Almost 6 million without hydro in Florida due to Irma.  Good luck charging EVs.  Also about 69% of Florida outlets without gasoline.
When China bans gasoline driven vehicles where are they going to ship all those used cars?


yeah, everyone that drinks an occasional soda must be obese. (/s)


God no.


Obviously, you did not read and comprehend the question:

"Does the GMD system provide a good defense for the US?"

It is a simple question which you could easily answer with a "yes" or a "no."

Let's see if the fifth time is the charm.

Or will you just continue with your troll-like behavior?


Actually, Mary, ER wasn't speaking her mind, but quoting someone else's thoughts from many decades ago. Either way, rules are rules. However, the rule in question should be amended...when a senator is being considered for a non-senatorial position that requires senate approval, they should be fair game during those deliberations...but that's something the Dems had their chance to change not too long ago, but chose not to.


And people worried about Barry Goldwater having the nuclear codes...


Focused and failing.
The regressives can't repeal the implementation of health insurance that they designed.
What would they replace it with?
The same designs that the Heritage Foundation developed, including a mandate.
Tweak and move on.
I am soooo tirrrred of winning.
When will trump give us a break from all the winning?


Without commenting on how I pictured him, I did wonder what Tridentinus looked like when he wrote condemning opposite-sex couples for participating in homosexual acts.

I knew, then, that we LITERALLY did not speak the same language, since in English his scenario is impossible.


Death by ego. There are so many adventures you can do without putting yourself at serious risk. Two people going off the beaten track in Nepal with a tent and a little food is not that smart.


I hope I am wrong, but I expect to hear in 15 to 20 years of malpractice lawsuits of people misdiagnosed as trangendered and guided into irreversible surgery due to the biases of identity politics


Lex smith is the attorney for hart litigations for rail why wouldnt he like this more trama more work.


What website category are these articles going into? They seem to be falling off the front page into a black hole. Even a search for Curtis Cook doesn't find this one.


He's a nut and so are nuts?


no, I'm the guy your mom gave crabs to. Tell her thanks.


I don't know how. I weaned myself off the government teat years ago. You should try it.


How many more half-bright bureaucrats will they have to hire to enforce this nonsense?


What would you describe as most parts of the world? Do those parts of the world have tension with westerners?

As far as assimilation goes, my last name is Hartsfield, meaning I am of "Euro-American" descent. I know first-hand that assimilation is totally possible, and my family and many families I know are proof of that.

It's an extreme to say that locals of Hawaii, or Guam, or anywhere else with tension towards westerners, don't take it as a sign of respect that someone is trying to learn their language. The underlying issue is the racial tension, which can lead some locals to question the sincerity of westerners trying to mingle into the culture. Learning to speak a language is superficial and isn't enough to build trust with a community.

It is not anti-haole racism at play. It is an issue of trust between an individual and community, and trust is something that is earned through actions, not words.


Well, the architect of Bill Clinton's dirty tricks division in the 90s disagrees with you.


Excuse, excuse, excuse.
Trump just advertised his ignorance for the world to witness.


I like your thinking but as long as the Northwest area of the state remains in control by anarchist,we will not see the state government red.


I do not think any Canadian would mind a MOAB dropped on these traitors' heads.


Well let's see now, Caldwell promised in his last campaign that he'll "do rail right....on time and on budget". But rail costs have grown from $5.2 billion to $10 billion and counting, upwards. Rail was promised, when proposed, that NO PROPERTY TAXES would be used for rail, yet Caldwell is threatening to use/raise property taxes for rail. The editorial states that rail will alleviate traffic, yet it has been stated previously that rail will NOT improve the traffic congestion. The original sunset of the rail surcharge tax has been extended by FIVE years, though at that time Caldwell wanted it to be permanent. Now the state legislature is in cahoots with Caldwell to extend the tax another TWO years, though Caldwell wanted even more. But what does Caldwell care? He gets to double-dip his income with his mayoral pay AND the Territorial Savings Bank director's pay. Meanwhile the rest of us get to suck rocks.

What I find interesting is that 30% of most people's retirement assets are in their homes, yet real estate agents are allowed to take 6% of those assets as commissions but no one calls them fiduciaries.


Reagan wasn't qualified as a two-term Governor of California? Interesting, and tough standards.


Firstly, the LCBO should be shut down and let the private sector sell alcohol. Secondly, the last thing we need is for Wynne/Trudeau to further control anything. It's all about the taxes for these folks.


This is hurtfully true. Jacob Zuma is just a puppet for the already rich people & businesses that use political power to have first hand access to information & state funds. Zuma is not the peoples president, he is a man with no intellect to lead. Your comment is a voice for many.


And a ban on Muslims, you forgot that.


Another story about a wealthy individual with a DB pension, who is hardly in need of a 'financial facelift'. This column is quite stale and boring. Time to write about middle-class people who have real problems.

Meh.


without false equivalence, raw hypocrisy and double standards your comments would be rather spare.


Just a note here for consideration :
The point in time count was conducted "during the week of Jan. 23"
Just days later, on February 1st, the states new homeless shelter rules kicked in and dozens or even hundreds of people were put back out on the streets.
- One shelter evicted all of their families to comply with the new rules, and now only has singles in the shelter. Where there was once over 100 kids in that shelter with their families (close to 300 people), there are now just over 100 people total.
- Lighthouse closed down completely.
- Other shelters reduced their bed counts and occupancy.
Where did all of those people go ? (right after the point in time count)


What relevance does all that have to the embezzlement issue under discussion?


I guess it's my fault for not making it clear that I was using $10000 and not $7000  as a starting point. A $2000 subsidy increase  is 20% of $10000 and yes $7000 is 40% more than $5000 (obviously)


It's never that easy.  Comon bruddah one more for the road we nevah see you for ages.....


USC, UCLA, etc recruit more outside of the state of California so that leaves a lot of under the radar kids to pick from and guessing they do their homework when recruiting.  I'm thinking our recruiting people will also profit from this too.


Yet another rare instance of agreement.
Nobody with a pre-existing condition was charged more, within the same plan, as anyone without a pre-existing condition.
Prior to ObamaCare insurance companies could demand exorbitant premiums or deny coverage outright.
Under ObamaCare nobody could be denied coverage.

This was a cowardly attack that must be condemned in the strongest possible terms. It is part of Canada's fabric that people of all faiths can worship freely and without fear of violence and persecution.  I agree with most of the article, however, face coverings are only common in countries with no freedom of speech, no gender equality, and no freedom of sexual orientation (without exception).  Canada is a secular country with laws independent of cultural codes interpreted as piety. It is clear based on history that fundamentalist demands for submission to strict religious codes never wane, Turkey's secular protections have eroded into religious fundamentalism in under 10 years (rolling back 70 years of secular progress established by Ataturk). Europe's experience has demonstrated that cultural segregation stemming from strict religious interpretations results in division and conflict and ultimately regresses society.


The religion you named can all coexist with each other. Not so much with one other religion, not named.

Hey, what about the Pastafarians?


That is the way of nature.

Dude, this is PRECISELY the reason I take ambrage at your comments. You afford yourself a position you do not have, taking your submissions as evidence. One moment YOU should Correct Zoe' article but as you do that you think your comments  should not be challenged because you "only had 6 minutes on a tablet and you are not an aspirant journalist". Meaning the standard you prescribe does not apply to you because of these excuses. Then you go ahead and apply the same "own position bias" by challenging me on my Afrikaans names but somehow the same can't be done to you? What I find even more staggering is where you decide to "manage" my time but as YOU do that you display the same shortcomings you attempt to accuse me of! Lets apply your "Standard" again, should'nt you have terminated this conversation immediately after my FIRST submission? Was there a need for you to "pen" the excuses?

Introspection is always difficult but as it turns out it is always the best cure!!

It was great Dude!


During the Planning Stages it was suggested that the City buy the land around the proposed rail stations and allow P3 development of the Station lands for parking and housing.  It would also have provided future "perpetual  revenue for operation of rail".  Also, I and many others objected to rail starting out from Kapolei rather than from downtown out.  How many people will ride rail from Kapolei to Waipahu?  Many more would ride rail from Waipahu to Downtown and revenues would begin at least 5 years earlier.  However, Hanneman and Caldwell totally ignored this and opted to give away the benefits to their supporters and developers. e.g. What happens to transit oriented development at Ward Village if rail started downtown at Aloha Tower?   The Ward Villages could not have been built and hundreds of millions of dollars would not be lining the pockets of the Texas company.  In my opinion it was not mismanagement it was "planned" management - "give a little to my friends."   Too cynical?


She's lies.
So your boyfriend goes out and purchases 43 guns, tri pods and automatic rifle parts while travelling to over 5 States to pick them up.
He sends you to another country and wires you $100,000.

Of course she  doesn't want to implicate herself.
Disgusting.....

As I sit by this beautiful Lake in southern Alabama finishing watching the Crimson Tide beat Tennessee, I would like to reassure all you America loving Patriots that fear for the future of this country,  Alabama WILL NOT send a democrat to do the bidding of Chuck, Nancy, and the rest of the socialist in DC.  Regardless of any polls (which most down here won't answer anyway) we will be out in full force on December 12.  Lest we forget these 'polls' told us of a sure victory for Hillary....even the Fox News polls won't be answered by the majority of Alabamians because we are working and or hang up on robot voices.
Roll Tide!


Indeed - he offered no argument that makes any sense - he assumed.  He  mandated out of a sense of power and then had his CDF lackey call what he said, though not issued as infallible, to be forever irrefutable.  It was an incredible bit  of trickery to expand infallibility - that horrible idea that came out of Vatican I and should never have happened even in the limited way it was supposedly declared.  Well, JPII and Ratzinger/BXVI have really made a mess for the church to try to live on in an ever evolving world and universe.


You can't be serious. It's common knowledge. It will take 5 minutes of your time to find that information for yourself.


You gotta see bumbling Trudeau try and answer this North Korea question.    Embarrassing!    Is this guy all there?

That Mulder can seem pretty convincing.


allie are you cutting and pasting your comments?


Classical example of a gay couple showing off their utter intolerance toward others. If the situation were reversed, the liberal Nazis and their sycophants would be crying murder. Very reflective how intolerant liberals are getting nowadays as they attacked those who refused to kowtow to their belief. For a gay couple to do this and without any sort of condemnation from any of the gay organizations out there, they got no room to complaint next time they get single out. It can be said nowadays that conservative intolerance has been far surpassed by liberal intolerance as our nation move into the intolerant stage where we are open to attack people for their beliefs, for who their parents might be (like in this article) or their lifestyle. Interesting time we live in, eh?


It appears that as Canada progresses into a more mature stage of nationality and maturity it is incumbent upon its citizens, as a whole to reflect upon what makes one a Canadian citizen.  What can each of us do to make our home and country one in which all of us individually believe and  behave in the common good. In this instance, to what degree is the wearer of the burqa prepared to contribute to the tradition of uncovered faces and facial recognition. When she immigrated to Canada surely she must have known that this expectation is rooted in values, morals and ethics of Canadian life.  The turmoil is self induced.


"Facts are somewhat beside the point when political allegiance is at stake."

Highest Cumulative debt occurred under Paul Martin - 66.8% of GDP in '95-'96; highest it reached under Harper was ½ that number 33.4% in '12 - '13.


Part 2: I just read a fascinating book on Revelation as the work of a astral prophet, who describes what he actually sees in the night sky, interpreting them within his Jewish/Christian faith tradition. Ii is the most cogent interpretation of Revelation I have ever seen, drawing on the ancient fascination with the night sky. It is: Bruce J. Malina, On the Genre and Message of Revelation: Visions and Sky Journeys (Peabody, Hendrickson, 1995).


Where does it say that? There is nothing that says that those 50% female students won't be qualified. Have you ever heard of recruiting? That 50% is a goal, not a quota.


As a customer I am highly insulted.  I get charged enough for user fees and interest charges and I am not happy that a person is losing their job after several billion dollar profit margin.  IT'S OFFENSIVE.  Machines over humans, and many are still breeding beyond earth's capacity.


Are you kidding ms. ann? The entire campaign of trump was based on hate and division. Right out of the gates it was attacking immigrants and the judge who was presiding over his fraud trial because he was "mexican". He attacked every demographic in this country of immigrants except  white men by the time the campaign was over. Now he is attacking journalists who, in his narcissistic mind anyway, may have slighted him in some imaginary way. Pitting people against one another was the big draw for trumps entire campaign because he had no policies to offer the American people. Oh but he had the "best words" didn't he? He spent eight years ridiculously attacking the duly elected POTUS American citizenship but it drew people like you to him didn't it? People who need someone to look down on and blame for their status in life. What sheer gall for you to imply that a humorists column is divisive when you vote for a man who made his entire political career out of that cheap divisiveness. Sad.


Correct! It's all Trump! Well done!


Justin,
I have 2 words for you, Fuddle Duddle.


Good one; thanks, RangerMC! ...


I didn't say it was the same thing as a calculator, I said it was no different in its nature as an inanimate object as a calculator. A firearm is inert. It lacks any agency. Absent human malice or negligence it cannot cause harm, with human good intent it can prevent or mitigate harm.

To assign agency or malice, or even to fear, the inanimate and inert, is simply not rational. Human maybe, but not rational. And reason must trump emotion.


A couple of points of clarification, here... these aren't apartments or houses, so they aren't paying rent. They're staying in a hotel, which ostensibly has other services provided that a renter would never get.
Also, you can't expect the owner to continue maintaining the place at a loss, and certainly not to address and fix the problems they're complaining about, at a loss.

I'm sure that some of them are just down on their luck, through no fault of their own. I'm sure others are just irresponsible with their money and habits. What I don't see here, though, is anyone offering to put some of these people up. Show us the respect YOU have for those down on their luck by taking some of them in!


"hog" is right. The beast has to feast, just to survive.


Maybe $10.5m per person?


Our immigration system has been broken for decades. Legal status is very difficult and take many, many years to receive. These immigrants do work hard everyday and spend their pay supporting local businesses and paying their taxes.... they are not the few...Auburns demographic has changed and will continue to do so.... look around your city and see the changes... look in Auburns schools.... What do you see? Do you advocate separating children from their parents?? This Ordinace would not hurt anyone in the community... there would be no Federal Funding withheld. It is not a Sanctuary City that we asked for, it is simply holding the police accountable to the rules they are to follow.


So he wanted to eliminate a department he knew nothing about, and now he wants to lead it.  Definitely a Trump man.


They're all boxy look-alike buildings. Ugh


Using your logic sirencall, it confirms even more why Trudeau isn't fit to govern Canada ignoring the majority of Canadians like he does let alone ignoring a paltry 25%.

Notley has been completely ignoring the majority of Albertans since she luckily stumbled into the premier's chair due to the split vote which reflects in her abysmal popularity ratings.

Oh, I get it. The complaining 25% on the left in the civil service unions are far more important than the 75% majority.


This was a good learning experience for the young Ducks. Perhaps they now know something more about the level of play that will be required for any team to be competitive with UConn. And Coach Graves knows the type of athletic players he must recruit successfully. But the Ducks have made a huge step towards success this year. Great job, Ducks! I'm looking forward to next year.

In 2008/09, even though the value of equities fell, many investors had no or only a minimal drop in dividend income.  Many even continued to see their income rise over this time period.

This demonstrates why a dividend income portfolio can work so well for many in retirement. It does not matter what the market does, the steady, growing stream of income just continued to roll in.


Ok, that makes absolutely no sense. Plus it doesn't even remotely answer the question about "national morality". All your response appears to be is a platform to introduce racism to the conversation and this has nothing to do with race. Please answer the question if you can. If you can't, please save your accusation of racism for someone else. I'm not interested in bantering with you since you only have a single fallback when you run out of arguments.


There has been nothing that has ever been in place that prevented aboriginals from setting up its own inquiry or commission.If our structure is seen as too colonial and not fulfilling their needs, then by all means they should strike out on there own and hold their own inquiry. Certainly the many communities or reserves where the violence has occurred or where women have disappeared from, have a responsibility to its residents to get involved. If this was to happen, the first thing would be to inform everyone involved what the goals are, and what they can and can not do. It would seem at this juncture that there is confusion about the current commission mandate. The government could then play a supporting role and only get involved when asked. It should also be made clear from the out set, that there are not unlimited funds for this, and there needs to be oversight on any funds that the government delivers.


Like most engineers, you're so fixated on your models that you disregard the fact that humans aren't logical.
You assume that since it makes sense to you, the Chinese and the Americans will follow Trudeau's climate leadership.
They won't...they'll do what they think is in their best interest.
Your whole faith in the belief that killing our economy will save the planet is based on faulty input logic.

I am surprised that journalists are just satiisfied with quoting "experts" concerning ethics and in this case, nepotism. The Statutes make it clear that The President (Title 5 article 3110: (2) “public official” means an officer (including the President and a Member of Congress), a member of the uniformed service, an employee and any other individual...) cannot employ a member of his "relatives" (relatives as defined in statute Tittle 5 article 3110 :(3) “relative” means, with respect to a public official, an individual who is related to the public official as father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, first cousin, nephew, niece, husband, wife, father-in-law, mother-in-law, son-in-law, ...)
The way around this for lawyers is to not pay the relative. Yet, if he is not payed, he is not an employee, if he is not an employee,  he should not get access to high security knowledge because he is not bound by contract. Further, as a son-in-law, all other ehics title apply.


Kenney was a very good federal Cabinet Minister and will make a great Premier of Alberta!


Perhaps, Trump could tweet a solution while in Asia.  Perhaps, he could send in Troops and then join them as a rifeleman to make up for the evasion of the draft in the Vietnam years.  I agree with Gloria Steinam, he didn’t win the election!


You and Chin should look for a new line of work.


The cash hoard isn't a "problem" per se, it allows Berkshire Hathaway the flexibility to take advantage of opportunities quickly when they arise rather than having to raise capital which may be difficult in some circumstances. For example, when the financial crisis in 2008 decimated U.S. banks Warren Buffett bought $5 Billion worth of preferred shares in Goldman Sachs which offered a 10% dividend annually plus warrants that eventually garnered $2 Billion worth of G.S. common stock for shelling out only $750 Million in cash. Several other deals made at the time to the likes of Mars, B of A, G.E. etc. netted BRK almost $10 Billion in dividends alone for $25 Billion in investment over a 5 year period according to the WSJ. That doesn't include substantial capital gains.


I hope he had his rabies vaccine


Yeah because that trickle down theory has done anything but allowed wealth to gather at the top, but keep on waiting, it will trickle down any minute now. Just any minute.

Cross those fingers and pray really hard cause if you are poor it is not failed Reaganomics it is your lack of love for supply side Jesus and the prosperity gospels.

Seriously, this lie that Dems are bad at the economy comes from the party that has not only pushed the clown car economy into the ditch but then lit it on fire, roasted hot dogs, then pissed on the fire, and blamed it all on the other side.

Economy disparity is at one of the highest rates it has ever been, the next generation is seeing through the smoke screen of the economic bull their parents were sold, and everyone is quickly realizing the American dream is dead unless you luck into being born well off.

P.S. Yes I know there are people out there that scrap and make it. They are the VERY small minority, also most of them are over 50.


how 'bout this is right. It was a ahead of its time for speed but that was it. There were no fixed points on the wings for missiles, instead they relied on a missile bay that was lowered from the belly of the aircraft, in flight, and then that in turn disturbed the aerodynamics of the aircraft. In order to fire a missile it had to slow down to sub sonic speed and precariously lower that missile bay. Totally unworkable.

Then a massive cost over run. Originally they were going to use American engines but then decided to built their own (the Iroquois), then the USN navy had a missile system that was going to be used, but they decided they would develop their own. All of this added up and was going to cripple the defense spending on the Navy and Army. The PM was right to can it.


History says you are WRONG.


>If somebody speeds past out of nowhere and hits you – they could be charged with driving without reasonable consideration. It’s a $198 fine and six demerit points.

That covers about 50% of Toronto drivers.


I have LCH.. a type of histiocytosis. I also live in Portland OR and know about 5 people here with Histio. Very rare.


I'm not suggesting that we overlook the plight of the truly needy, but we need to be careful about providing incentives for economically irresponsible decisions.  There is a balance to be struck, and more, more, always more money is both tone deaf and fiscally suicidal.

I don't mean to be snide about education delivering psychic rewards.  But the pursuit of psychic versus economic reward is a choice, and unless you have some way to also redistribute psychic rewards, the case for arbitrary economic redistribution seems to much more grasping and materialistic, not to mention unbalanced, than the idea that we live with our own choices.

The presence of an omnipotent government sticking its nose into things better left alone  is one of the dangerous ideas I gathered from reading BNW and 1984.  Making every snowflake feel special is a heart-warming idea, but an ugly, dysfunctional and ultimately bankrupt basis for public policy.


Sorry JZ, when you're a minor in the public school system............."free expression" IS limited. I would suggest home schooling for the toxic little boys & girls.


The Vatican Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments seems to have little to do. I assume the members are all ordained priests? Let's break up some of these bureaucratic overhangs and better utilize these priests in local parish work. We need more working priests and fewer "thinking" theologians.


Putin, to his credit, seems to understand that retaliation will get him nowhere.

He can deny all he wants but unless he can convince America that Russia did not interfere in the recent election his denials and retaliations are to no avail. The American public is just waking up to the notion that the Russians interfered with the election. Things can only get worse if Putin throws gasoline on the fire.

Americans may be stupid but they are not that stupid as to be duped for long. Eventually they figure things out.

Russia was stupid to think it would not be found out or that there were no consequences if it was.


Journalist Vanessa Beeley also says that escaped civilians were desperate to tell their stories to her.
Vanessa Beeley also says that she believes it would be impossible for anyone to be posting to Twitter from East Aleppo, because there is no 3G, no wi-fi, and no electricity. She suspects they're broadcasting from other regions, and pretending to be in East Aleppo.
Vanessa also mentions that civilians who escaped the rebels report that anyone who was suspected of supporting the Syrian government was be executed by the rebels. Also, a woman who was begging for food was shot by the rebels in the mouth, in public. It's insanity that the garbage and evil G&M care so much about their madman ideology that they're defending and supporting these actions by shielding them from public awareness, while creating fiction to demonize the Syrian army and Russia, who are putting a stop to these things.
Here's Eva Bartlett saying similar things while answering a Question: https://youtu.be/AisvBNXPdG8


The Avs are the red headed step-child of the league, and always have been.


OOOH!  I can only hope that particular slot was a typo.


This is stupid in my opinion. I see this as a grab for money from a give away administrator. The land was flat and useless, then the city being wise turned it into a land fill. Which obviously can be proven to have potential to produce and provide methane gas for energy production. I don't think Elkutna should be entitled to anything. If this is allowed I see this as a acknowledgement of indebtedness to Eklutna for something. So Berk now is planning to agree to pay them for the gas the land fill created; not having been native to the land. As if this was something they were entitled to? And also the city is offering to bring large water mains to these two new housing developments. I didn't know the city did this for developers still I bet if you ask Spenell homes or other real-estate developers they'll argue NO the muni doesn't do this. And this should be considered another $1MIL plus concession.


Edgar Porter let's debate Trump at UH.  You can represent the establishment, I'll represent the alt-right.  I don't even self-identify as that, nor am I a Trump supporter, but your arguments are so terrible that I would gladly go against whatever your position is -- regardless of what "side" that put me on.  I mean, why not?  We both know you don't have the courage to go against someone like Milo or Ben Shapiro, I should be no problem for you :D


maybe she had remote start and the keys weren't even in the car...any attempt yo drive it would have turned it off.


We'll see...


We could learn from the Native way and start banishing criminals to the lower 48


Trump's a loose cannon and the allies know it. They of course have to play nice with any president but it doesn't mean they aren't circling the wagons and preparing for 4 years of wasted money and time.


Luke, you ought to take a lesson from  the pros in Portland!  Maybe you can lead a "protest" through Waikiki, throwing stones or bricks through the windows of Chanel, Prada, etc., just like the Brownshirts did in 1930s Berlin.


Exactly - a "passive investment" by our honorable Finance Minister and redistribution of wealth (what wealth?) Prime Minister.
Morneau would not call his foreign investments "passive" but rather diversification investment.


Cut the budget to whatever is needed. An individual, family or business cuts their budget to their existing revenue when it is necessary. The government should not be any different. We had $9 oil in the past with a smaller budget. My wife & I will never support those who support an income tax. After the budget was cut to the bone, we would support a flat sales tax if needed. Under a flat sales tax, then everyone would be involved in paying the bills not just half of the people like would happen under an income tax. The voters would then tend to elect more frugal politicians.


Boots>  I'm sure you're referring to the DEMs also, right????


So you admit to there being a legitimate orientation, rather than being heterosexual and having same sex attraction. That last bit of sophistry is the hierarchy's attempt to recognize people as being gay as part of their essence, in which case there is no reason to say their behavior is sinful within marriage. Gay sexuality is the norm for gay people, not asexuality (which is a different orientation).


Again, it appears the public is doing the police's job.


Most of the science fiction shows I've seen feature little green or gray aliens. Nobody knows what gender ET was and it probably never crossed anyone's mind. In retrospect ET could have been both sexes. We'll never know what the gene pool on ET's planet looks like until the writers decide to do a sequel.


Bush didn't even try to get bin Laden:

"I don't know where he is. I have no idea and I don't really care. It's not that important. It's not our priority." - George Bush. March 13, 2002

Obama made it a priority, and took him out.


Cory voted 32 times for repeal when he was a Congressman. How do you think he is going to vote as Senator?


DeFranza made a very important point in the discussion:  "What we are learning about science and gender is changing," she said, noting that church reformers need to relook at how Christianity has viewed transgender people. Christian scholars, such as Thomas Aquinas, translated the knowledge of the day into a Christian framework. DeFranza said that is the current challenge.  "We need to do what they did even if it means not saying what they said," noted DeFranza.

Note "...scholars... translated the knowledge of the day into a Christian framework..."  And "We need to do what they did EVEN IF IT MEANS NOT SAYING WHAT THEY SAID." In other words, even if a different conclusion is reached.

What is recorded that Jesus said and did, and the Old Testament base on which so much thinking is derived - all that needs to be viewed anew in light of what we know today.  We need to "translate the knowledge" of THIS day "into a Christian framework."


Given United CEO Oscar Munoz has already publicly stated - without any apparent qualification - that, "No one should ever be treated this way" then if we're honest with ourselves, the question really comes down to not IF United Airlines is going to handsomely compensate Dr. Dao, but only how large a settlement it's going to be.  A seven-figure dollar amount wouldn't surprise me in the least.


"...just called half the world toxic and that being a man is less then human."

This simply did not happen.  Maybe you think you are reading between the lines, but this was neither said nor implied,


Let's face it virtually all, if not all, SOE's originated from the perceived need to protect the Apartheid State should "the World turn against us".  Why has the anc played copy-cat and won't admit it?


The head guy this time isn't a RINO phony and maybe not even a Republican.  The left is now completely out of power except for seven large city metros.  Obama destroyed and eviscerated the Democrat Party.  The Bush/RINO Republican establishment is gone or in full retreat with many throwing in the towel early based on impossible poll numbers against their new Trump backed challengers.  The news says the Clintons paid for the phony Fusion Dossier.  FBI gathered evidence of Clinton being as corrupt as her worst critics ever said.  The entire Obama Administration knowing about it and obstructing justice.


Regulations create a level fair playing field where those that risk and fail pay the price not the taxpayers.
Deregulation allowed banks to repackage Junk Housing Bonds in a big red bow and present them as AAA+.
Trillions of the current US debt is from Bankster bailouts; not to mention the 4 trillion dollar oil war in Iraq (first war not paid for by increased taxation).
And by the way, who were those great big Lefties that brought in Banking and Anti-combine regulations in 1934? The leaders of the biggest banks on Wall Street. The economy then ran great, without any bubbles, till the 1980s and the start of the Reagan/Thatcher deregulation mania.


If it is not Dem propaganda they will they want to choke it down. Dems need to just shut up and go for the ride. They are worthless and would destroy America rather than it suceed under a non-Democrat.


One thing is for certain:

All of this automation will reduce the need for people doing many many jobs and functions, everything from driving trucks to flipping hamburgers.

So with the reduced need for a massive workforce in the economy why has there been so much noise from the news media about the need for massive influxes of immigrants to offset our low-birth rate?

I see nothing but trouble ahead.


Obama tried to get the rules changed for tax inversion, by changing the percentage of overseas ownership to 75% to be eligible for the tax avoidance.  Congress said no.


That is a bit weird
https://www.adn.com/alaska-news/2017/01/11/single-family-home-a-total-loss-in-bird-creek-fire/#civil-comments

do you know what this comment is talking about?

"Wasn't the Alpine apartments fire on the day of shooting also linked to Ft Lauderdale shooter?"


The fans that stayed got huge value for money.
For the thousands that left early, a lesson learned.


Let's be fair and give credit where credit is due. Paulson became very compliant and proficient in accepting and carrying out orders from Stephen Harper's PMO.  You could ask Nigel Wright about that.

Why, some have even referred to him as a canine who is fond of those in a sitting position.

Oh well, at least he didn't pull a Zaccadelli.


You can't fire an FBI director.  You can only impeach (by the house senate)


I think they will be fighting Hawaiian, Alaska/Virgin America, Delta, United , American Airlines for gate space during peak times at HNL. They all use or will be using medium size aircraft and fight with Wide bodies during this period. State is retrofitting  the diamond head concourse for Island Air which would accommodate SW if they entered the Inter-Island Market. Somebody has to pay for it if Island Air goes under.


To compare lynch to tebow makes no sense,tebow was a pitcher playing quarterback,he had all the other intangibles to be successful but style didn't equate to the NFL,you need to go back to what Elway said about lynch when drafted him he knew then he needed some time to develop,he went from a spread offense to west coast,different terminology and then kubiak retires and coach Joseph brings in McCoy,three different styles.patience is needed for lynch not scorn Trevor is the starter for this season hopefully lynch will be ready for next season,as far as sloter is concerned he was a camp arm he didn't have a realistic chance,every time the Broncos draft a quarterback in the later rounds and look good against the other teams bubble players people over hype these guys,slower may turn out to be good but not in Denver,Elway has been around every aspect of football,his dad was a coach plus he was the best college quarterback in college,and one of the best in the NFL,I trust what he says.


Along with all that money comes expectations of a payoff. Campaign finance is a joke. What voters want is complete transparency on political donations at $1000 and higher amounts. We want to know who is providing the money. Neither Democrats nor Republicans push for it since transparency is not desired by many rich and corrupt donors.

The unnamed operatives in both political parties also are not being truthful when they try to blame the problems on open primaries. The far left and far right just don't want open primaries. Open primaries allow more people to vote instead of allowing them to push forward with their extremism during the nomination process. The political parties mostly exist to serve their own needs to gather votes and money rather than the public interest despite their claims to the contrary.


I lived under Mao's reign myself actually, for quite long time. Xi is nothing like Mao, nor his reign.


Holy journalism Batman, Ibbitson has metamorphosed  from the ultra right to something close to communism.


Imagine if an inmate died while COs stood around outside his cell waiting for "backup."  Or a woman was allowed to die from neglect, all the while other inmates were begging for help for her, or an inmate got assaulted by an officer and the other COs covered it up; imagine a CO lost his temper and broke a mentally challenged man's nose by smashing his face into a concrete floor then was allowed to "retire" early with full benefits, was hired back and only fired (no charges filed) after he brought a gun to work and threatened a fellow CO. This actually happened at Spring a Creek.


I was referring also to Ms Altenhofen, who like many cyclists who write in to the paper clearly feel superior to people who use cars for transportation.  No, Ms Macarelli's daughters don't need to take kids to daycare, grandma to the doctor and commute 30 miles to a job now, but someday they may.  Maybe they won't be able to brag about their "one car lifestyle". Will mom look down on them at that point?

I have no idea about 'doth protesting too much'.  I'm expressing my opinion.  If riding a bike fits in your lifestyle, go for it.  But don't disdain those who don't have the health or lifestyle that enables biking everywhere or even anywhere.  When people talk about how virtuous they are in their "happy healthy lifestyle" and "not contributing to global warming", that's what they are doing.


You're his carny barker?

Thousands of jobs?

You don't even believe the nonsense you imagine.


I don't read science fiction but hurray for Curly


Only theones that fruited last year. You will know which!


Trash


Excuse me? There is no moral equivalency here, Richard. When you make one all you are doing is supporting Nazism, full stop. "Both sides" are not wrong when one side consists of swastika wearing, "Heil Trump" shouting, goose stepping honest to god actual Nazis. Why is it so hard for you guys to condemn this? Republicans used to be against fascism and Nazism, but in the age of Trump I guess they're somehow considered an acceptable faction of the conservative movement. How are you not ashamed of this?
Stop misusing the term "free speech." No one was arrested for saying or printing anything, therefore there was no infringement of free speech. Free speech means the government cannot impose jail time, fines or other legal penalties for engaging in protected expression. It does not mean that everyone else has to listen to your BS or treat your ideas as legitimate and deserving of equal consideration with all others.


I agree with the other posters here...just raise the property taxes.
10% increase should do it.  If the average homeowner is currently paying around $5,000.00 that would amount to only $500.00 more per year.  Or to put it into terms that Liberals would understand...
that's less than a Timmie's a day.
Just ask Bob Chiarelli


Uh-huh. But of course, the motion does bind the govn't to do what the motion says the govn't has to do if adopted.

Wow, Liberals are really into double-speak these days, aren't they.


Too funny! Liberals and their costumes.  I can't decide which is more ridiculous - this, or the pink kitty hats.
On November 8, the anniversary of Trump's victory, a bunch of them are planning to scream up into the sky.  This should be very entertaining.


I wonder if your niece meant saw no men in Roman collars. Just watching on television I recognized three Jesuit priests and one Dominican but none wore collars.


You can most definitely patent a process... the same way you can patent a drug... pretty much the only way chemists make money. It costs a lot of time and money to research a method, or a process, on how to make or extract a compound, or drug, and if you do that, you are entitled to monies from whoever wishes to copy said formula. It's pretty much the basis of the entire biotech industry so I don't know why I need to explain this. Fact is they have a cost effective and efficient process to derive these compounds at high purity which are widely used and sought after. There there is a growing demand not only as a skin product, but as a way to help lower cholesterol. The preliminary trials for that are looking very positive, and once published, there is then access to a industry which is worth billions. Aveeno is a company which already purchases from Ceapro.. it's the active ingredient in their products, so yeah I've checked them out. 100 years of MD's concentrated in one drop. Nice.


Calling someone stupid does not reflect well on you or your decency and ability to participate in an adult debate on issues. In fact...using the words you feel okay to apply to others...well they make you seem rather st*pid.


Look like Leah is heading for a divorce.

No surprise, she is white and the statistics say most white women initiate divorce.

I guess hypergamy didn't work for her this time.

You can try again - for white women men are like cereal - just try a new one out.


I'm amazed at what people don't know about driving laws. a guy I work with didn't know it's illegal to change lanes across two solid lines.


If that is the US position, and not just bombast to placate Trump's base, then we should abandon the talks.


It's not illegal or unusual to ask for loyalty.  And Comey agreed to be loyal!

I'll tell you in advance what the Russia investigation will uncover:  nothing.

They've been "investigating" for 6 months and they still have nothing.  If there was something going on they would have found it by now.


How's the weather in Moscow this morning, 'bot?


I read that in a book by Stephen Hawking.


Cool.


Attacking the messenger is the evidence of old tired leftist thinking.    I have quantum AG reports to support my assertion.  What do you have?


I tend to believe there was some biased reporting here.  Only Jeannette can answer that.  Some reporters like to use sensationalism in hopes their story will go 'viral'.   Hopefully that wasn't the case here.


I'm basically a liberal except on immigration.

But, no matter if Trump moves to the far left or not, I say we still need to have him removed from office.

He's really dangerous.  Maybe even more so right now than ever before.  He's actually playing his last hand.  The GOP won't trust him after this, and the Dems simply will not embrace him unless he's giving them clear wins.

He can't give ANYONE a clear win for too long.  It's not about "winning" as he so dishonestly and ironically coined during his campaign.  Except, to the extent "winning" means his Narcissistic impulses and needs are fulfilled.

What he does today could turn on a dime.  Just like what he was doing, literally yesterday, did.

What that means, for all of us, liberal or conservative or in the middle, is that we are at grave risk due to the guy's condition caused instabiity.

Congress needs to act.  Mueller needs to hurry.  Pence needs to learn lessons about bipartisanship in the meanwhile.

We need to come together..


Alaska has by far the highest rates of Alcoholism, Drug Use, Domestic Violence, Child Abuse, Molestation, Neglect, and all manner of Human Depravity per capita.  Are you living in a cave and can't do research, or do you need help ?


Let's use your same yardstick against Mexico which deports thousands of "residents" back to Guatemala and has a massive wall along its border with that country. A wall so big it would make the one Trump fantasizes about look like a flimsy picket fence.


Your consultation is a sham, since you've obviously already made up your mind.

As a middle aged business owner that makes in about 100-150K a year annually, taking no vacations, working 70 hours a week, ALREADY paying 53% tax in Ontario, this proposal ensures that I have no incentive to try to grow my business for more 47 cent dollars.

If this goes through, I will work less, probably live longer, but I will be sure to donate to the Conservative Party of Canada as much a I can afford as the only pathetic measure I can use to protest against your assault on how I've spent the last 20 years of my life, on my retirement, and on my children's future.

I will never forgive what you are doing it.  Meanwhile how does the Liberal government spend this money?  Outside of Canada to a large extent, or on non-Canadians.   Sickening.


In civilized countries, it is not necessary to pack at weapon at church since the chances of a shooter bursting through the doors is pretty much nil. In the U.S., not so much.


I am  all for protests, having heard some of the vulgarity coming out of Madonna's mouth I would have been totally embarrassed  standing amongst these demonstrators.   Besides we females have the world by the tail and can be anything we want to be.


All forms of hate needs to be eliminated. All forms of racism, Islamophobia, Homophobia, anti-semitism and laws discriminating against Transgenders.
We need to get behind Justin, Obama, Hillary and Premier Wynne and fight all forms of hate which includes Trump!


It's pretty evident you didn't read the transcripts of what was actually said, nor did you research the actual case.  You've probably read some Breitbart garbage.

Where exactly is "Columbia" anyway?

Yep. Read these rave reviews.

How many years of investigations into Benghazi did we get to pay for?  Investigations that one after another didn't turn up anything, until the email server was turned up, I might add.  The fact that all of our intelligence agencies as well as the FBI believe that the Russians did try to mess with our elections and the fact that several members of Trump's campaign had close ties to Russia do make it worth looking into.  I get that you feel that Trump is getting a raw deal, but even the Republican controlled Senate is concerned enough to be investigating.  This isn't just a Democrat run thing.


Wonkette has this GIF for a post related to McTurtle's speech after they were unable to kill the most vulnerable Americans. Still makes me laugh.

no! no!
a thousand times NO!


It isn't involves an idiotic grin on his face as if some minor, childish rhetorical point is a major victory. The guy had a huge amount of maturing ahead of him, Tim will tell if that is within him. But he can stay with wiping the stupid bratty 12 year old boy grin off his face.


The Progressive Party had nothing to do with the Progressive Conservative Party. Have someone read the articles I listed to you. You need to learn.


OK, Elaine, you have the same information we have.
On the basis of this story, if you had to decide whether this story is "more likely true" or "more likely false" without any third option, how would you vote?

Of course, the bishop is innocent until proven guilty; but that doesn't mean we have to assume  on available evidence that it is equally likely that he is not-guilty as that he is guilty.


Again, you must be a newbie.   :-)

(It's a joke. You can get it if you try. Otherwise, I guess I'll just keep trying. Are you Pan?)


As a businessman myself, I'm not a big fan of turning any business away, and that's important because to turn business away suggests one has pretty strong feelings about his/her reason for refusal of service.

Better to not know, then one does not need to be put in a moral dilemma.  But if a client approaches a merchant and expresses his unrepentant participation in sinful acts (in the belief of the merchant), he should be allowed to deny that person service.


Build it around New Mexico, too.


Well if you starve a program for funding, of course it's going to lack funding. If you expand Medicare to more people, you would of course have to have additional funding to accommodate those people.

Medicare is NOT driving the cost increases, Medicare keeps costs down.


Sounds to me like they just gave up and crawled into their tent.  They should have kept fighting to remove the snow.


A book I'm reading right now called "Ratf**ked" which chronicles the very purposeful tactic of the Republican party via SLCS in 2008, after Obama and Dems. swept the country."Leftists" lost the Senate? In 2008, Obama had a majority in both houses, so might want to recheck your "facts".

Thats when Karl Rove and some others made a plan, REDMAP, to attack 25 vulnerable state houses with extreme outside money to take those state houses at any cost so they could get the levers of redistricting. They did in 2010, and redistricted in such a gerrymandered way as had never been seen before using a computer program called Maptitude.

The lines they made for congressional districts in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio, Florida and North Carolina flipped those states from Democrat congressional majorities to Rep. by a huge ratio. The funny thing was, even though the Dems. took most of the total votes in those states, R's took a much higher ratio of congressmen. This is not democracy.


Rest in Peace.  Wonderful talent, beautiful music; I will always look back at those concerts and gigs in Waikiki and elsewhere with such pleasure.


Commmoner-
In the 00's people continued to buy cars from GM and Chrysler.  Just sayin' .


That specific area is mostly locals, homeless, junkies, and predators.


The penalties are only half of the problem the other half is UH doesn't know how to play defense.  Every team we play has their highlight game against us. Next year year everyone will schedule their homecoming game against UH.


FM:  There are relatively few non-Alaskans who earn enough to pay an income tax.  Most non-resident employees work in the seafood processing and hospitality industries, are seasonal, and do not earn enough to pay an income tax.  The ones that would pay the tax are the 200,000 Alaskan wage earners that earn enough to pay the tax.  So you prefer to burden hard working Alaskans with an income tax to get a few dollars out of non-Alaskans.  You must not be an Alaskan.


Seriously?

No, Woody Allen.


Are you insinuating something? I don't know this family. I read the story and made some comments in a public forum. The GoFundMe is a separate issue. What we were disagreeing about was whether to call 911. You are strangely trying to win that discussion.


Muslims and Christians co-existed historically more than Germans and the French. Europe has had continuous wars from the 1st century to the mid 20th century. The peace we see now in in the EU is the longest period of peace in the last 2000 years.


Therefore - by your own calculations, Daysofmiracle - Trump DOES represent "roughly half of the American people", right?

So, here we are...


Wow, I'm a critic of HNL but one of the few good things I've experienced during the past year has been going through customs/immigration upon arriving from foreign sites. Now with the electronic customs machines my in and out have been 10-15 minutes. Those improvements are likely due to it being under the federal government. What I still don't like is the WikiWiki buses that are too old, slow and uncomfortable. You are right about getting through NRT.


Because most of the work you're proposing to have inmates do is currently being done, if done at all, by unionized public employees.   I can still hear the late Al Baffone of Laborers' Local 71 howling at us about how our use of "convict labor" was putting his members out of work because we were using inmates to help cook and serve food in the prisons.   And we'd rather our roadsides be scraggly, brushy messes or mass beds of dandelions than put some inmates out with a sling blade and make the State look like somebody cares.


Adam Silver is one of the most sexist administrators I've read about. He puffed and pounded his chest relocating the All-Star game out of North Carolina over the state's bathroom bill. So Silver has no problem of whoever uses what bathroom in Charlotte, no matter what the person "feels" like that day. But when it comes to a woman, a 101 percent woman; who acts and thinks like a woman; a woman who has the evidence she is a woman when you look down her pants: Silver does not want her on a NBA team. She has to play in the WNBA. He should have kept the NBA out of politics and kept his focus on the game.


Not like CONservatives.


Stand for Salmon makes good sense, and is very needed to protect our sustainable coastal economies.  I will sign and vote for it, and would urge others to consider doing so as well.

I believe in Australia the tip is automatically added to the bill.

The NRA just needs to go away. It always amazes me that otherwise responsible gun owners continue to allow these whack jobs to make them look bad. It's high time for the NRA to stop running our country.


Your examples are accredited universities that have to meet high standards to maintain their accreditations. The online schools Betty DeVos would allow have no track record and nothing to make them accountable. We would have thousands of little Trump universities scamming students, their parents and the state departments of education out of millions of dollars. Dumb idea.


i would gather 200 of my closest friends and have a sit in in the hallway .200 of the biggest people i could find, instruct them how to become counterproductive to being moved...


Here it goes again, down the toilet, thanks to Republican Legislator, Gattis. Penny wise and dollar foolish.  Completely cuts off internet service to 40 rural communities, to save $695,000 in the state budget, and in doing so, gives up $3 million in federal matching dollars.  Roughly for every $1 dollar saved - $5 dollars is lost.  Thanks to our 4th grader Republican legislator.  REMEMBER THIS IN NOVEMBER.


I see your point JSB1.  I worded my question poorly.  I should have asked:
"What higher human purpose is served by places like this?"


Hey *Starz,* you know what every mass shooter in the last 2 years has had in common, besides being registered Democrat and ardent Hillary supporters? *None* of them have been NRA members.


My fellow Trump supporters, this is a Hillary forum. These people that vote for her are dangerous to a free republic. It would be ok for them if Hillary barbecued a baby & ate it on the White House lawn. They will give her a pass for literally anything! Trump is winning low-lifes, like it or not, ha, ha! She can't get more than 100 people at her rallies. Hillary in Ohio appeared on stage with Jay-Z, right after these performers denigrated women! You people with your pc good intentions will pave this country a road to hell!


A Speaker has to be chosen and I'm not sure how this is done in BC.  If one of the Greens is chosen to be speaker, it would give the Liberals a majority of one.  This subject was discussed on CBC TV week or so ago but I didn't pay much attention.


It is about time.  It should have never reached this point.  Nice to have him back.  May he have have the best year yet.


It's actually quite funny how the childish Libs here default is always name-calling while having the nerve to pontificate about being well- educated on so on.  Almost as ironic as the feigned outrage over fake news, email hacking, Russia, etc, their hypocrisy knows no bounds.


Mr. Luchs:  Please quit making such sensible, rational suggestions.  The EWEB site was a good option months (is it years now?) ago and remeains so.  I, as you say, could make a beautiful civic center surrounded by parkland.  The downtown site could be sold for development, enhancing the city core.  I think, and the responses to your letter confirm, that the Council needs to "rethink" the City Hall proposal.

Thank for "rekindling" this thought.   regards, Gary


Upgrading and protecting our electrical grid should have been our #1 priority for the last 30 years. I really hope that if we do any future "infrastructure" spending that the grid is tops on the list. People NEED to contact their representatives and push for this. Forget political bickering and lets focus on protecting our nation. It's security, it's jobs and I cannot see how anyone from either Party can complain about that. Lets fix this problem before we face an apocalypse situation. This is no joke.


Learn to read.  She didn't say she wanted to kill the President.  LOL

Not as tragic as the Phaneuf deal, but not significantly better.  Senators management is working hard to build a mediocrity.


Out-physicaled?  Didn't Rolo bring in Bubba Reynolds from Nevada to be his  Strength and Conditioning Coordinator?  So he's throwing Bubba under the bus?
Regarding Dru, "“He missed some throws,” Rolovich said of Brown."  Now that is an understatement.  Dru missed a streaking Isaiah Bernard who was so open you could have run a bus between him and the DB.   I think Rolo is being too soft on Dru.  “It wasn’t great protection, either.” The O-line didn't hold their blocks long enough?  How much time does Dru need?  Okay, while we're at it, let's throw the O-line under the bus too.


Can I be next?


How has the guy who isn't even president yet "filled the swamp"? haha...must still be Bush's fault


This is called inflation.


Alceste: You focus on the difference between the Commission and the Tribunal, but ignore the main point - the clear bias of the Chief Commissioner.  This is from the Commission's website:
"The OHRC has unique legal powers under the Human Rights Code.  We may conduct inquiries, make an application (a complaint) directly to the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario to allege discrimination and seek a Tribunal order, or intervene in applications before the Tribunal. The OHRC may also take part in cases before other administrative tribunals and courts." One of its "unique legal powers" is to launch prosecutions before courts and tribunals. Apparently you have no problem with the Chief Commissioner/Chief Prosecutor with "unique legal powers" being so obviously biased. The Tribunal is a separate organization that does hold hearings, including adjudicating prosecutions launched by the Commission, and does levy financial penalties to be paid by those convicted to those judged to be aggrieved.


I've been a longtime Wind/Freedom customer and love it. Many Canadians, unfortunately, b*tch and moan constantly about Bell and Rogers but, when given an alternative, just go back for more abuse. Small-time thinkers, for sure.


You obviously have no clue of what is actually going on. In the last 5-6 years it is not uncommon to get a month's worth of rain in 3 or 4 hours. Severe weather events are characteristic of climate change. The Calgary flooding of 2013 cost 2.5 billion in damage. We have had repeated major flood events on the prairies at a rate far beyond all historical measures. There is a reason why the big farmers are spending millions on drainage systems.

Climate change is real, pal, it is happening and dirty Deniers have their heads in a dark place.


UnAmerican if you have a so-called orange wannabe presidential candidate advocating mob rule.


You can't fix stupid


"This partisan bill is an ACA-total-repeal bill that takes insurance away from millions of Americans – including hundreds of thousands of Coloradans."  This statement is totally distorted! And, please remember, Obamacare was a partisan bill!


Well, this has certainly opened up a can of worms.  Is pot better or worse than alcohol?  A neighbour drinking in his backyard isn't bothering me, if that's all he's doing, but pot smoke is really objectionable.  I can see that this is a situation where bylaws might be useful to make life more civil for everyone.  Just because something is not criminal, like keeping junked cars on your lawn or playing loud music late at night, doesn't mean that it's uncivil, and that's where bylaws generally step in.  If you want to live someplace where you don't have to consider the feelings of your neighbours, you need to live somewhere very far from other people.


Morneau goes off on one direction at the G20 just before our friendly neighbour gears up to go in the completely opposite direction. While one is making Canada poorer again, the other is making America great (and richer) again. This would be just fine for Justin & Co.  if Ms. Clinton had gained the presidency and implemented soak the rich policies too. But with Mr. Trump in power, the contrast  in policies is increasing by the day, and the coming budget is going to make everything worse for our investment climate and economy.  The Liberals are on the wrong track on fiscal management, but they might just be able to convince their supporters that attacking 'rich' people they are making everyone equal and that's fair and anyway it was the Liberals that let them into the country in the first place. Will the politics of resentment work? So far, so good.


Crap propaganda !  Both sides hate and accept funds from haters. Seems as though the Liberals are way more violent than the Conservatives, but are painted as more violent by the False News Media? Remember your history ! African tribes were the largest group of Slave Owners, and they sold their brothers and sisters into slavery.


History has not yet been weitten just wait to see Do you really  believe America will be better off 4 years down the line? Good Luck with that and once again as the Brexit the more impact will be the poor blue-collar  people who voted for this insanity You can not pray globalization and the technological breackthrough away The cat is out of the bag adapt or die


>Can you name any “young growth” sales that have been proposed, not objected to by environmentalists, and then proceeded to harvest?<

Yes, the Dargon Pt. timber sale on Prince of Wales Island  and the Hecate [Island] timber sale, to name just two.


I had the option to buy my Jeep 2016 with no bells and whistles, mostly, except for sound system and up to date blue tooth communication, automatic transmission, the rest as in the older times.
Saved over 10 thousand dollars in a new vehicle.


Richard. We're in the same business - I've followed your posts for years. Unfortunately, I think you are wrong in this instance. Yes, aircrew and station agents can have a seated passenger removed - for a very good reason i.e the person(s) poses a danger/hazard to the flight (drunk, disorderly, incapacitated, threatening as prime examples). But not for corporate purposes. Add the use of overwhelming force (3 large male rent-a-cops?) and you have prima facie assault.

United was totally, categorically and criminally wrong with their actions. I'm pretty certain the airline will pay dearly for their mistake.

Best regards.


Oh, yes, Max is a "libertarian." Max is a "conviction politician." There can hardly be anything more fundamental than deciding where we want to live.  A libertarian would oppose immigration controls other than those designed to keep out criminals, paedophiles and terrorists. But here's Max, falling in line with all the other big-government-interfering-in-our-lives weenies. His position is not particularly radical for a Tory - suspicion of brown people is a fundamental value for that party - but can we all quit pretending that he's anything other than another pandering statist? Beating up on some egg farmers' quotas? Oh yeah, Max is all in. Standing up for the right to move freely and lvie where we choose? Peep, peep, peep!


US will be sending millions of illegals aliens along with all potential terrorist as refugees to the Canada following Justin statement that Canada is will take them in.


This is shallow, headline grabbing reporting. And many readers are taken in by the headline and forget that everything an economist says is based on DOZEN assumptions that mostly get it wrong. Lets face it more disposable income redistributes wealth which raises the standard of living of those who are at the bottom. No HEALTHY small business is going to shut down because they have to pay their two employees a few buck more. As long as raises are kept to moderate ($15/hr is moderate) then all is fine.


Salmon have to be protected. I agree with you.


This is third world corruption at its finest. Basically Del Duca is using taxpayers' money to bribe voters in his riding. It's nauseating and doesn't belong in a true democracy. Del Duca should be asked to resign.


But junkies ad chisma to the streets of Vancouver!


I read this, then went back to read about lucy vinis' state of the city address on Monday, then wondered why Eugene just can't contract with Springfield for city operations. Eugene will hire an Airport Art consultant, why not just hire out for the whole package? Make Eugene great again!


Wiliki, Mrs. Johnson is upset because the only way Trump could remember her husband’s name was from a report he had in front of him.  How else was Trump supposed to remember the names of more than 1.2 million men and women who serve on active duty and more than 800,000 more who serve in the reserves and are frequently called to active duty.  Such criticism is unjustified.


x
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau introduced the first episode of The Story of Us last month. The series was commissioned by the CBC
-----
isn't our PM over-exposed?
really, introduced the first episode?
why not just give him a role as one of the actors - maybe one of the ruggedly handsome lumberjacks?

is this payback for Trudeau increasing the funding for the CBC?


"Trump has not yet said where he will get the billions of dollars needed to pay for thousands of new border control agents, a network of detention facilities to detain people in the country illegally and a wall along the entire southern border with Mexico."
Surprise, surprise!  Coming from the man whose projected expenditures on his family's transportation, lodging, and protection in the area of nine digits he completely disregard legal and logistical constraints.


I am so Happy that we have Good Pope Francis to stand up to the greedy interests and ignorant leaders who believe the only reason this planet exists is for them to make a quick $ by exploiting its resources.


Especially since the Republicans handle the budget, right?


Not sure how this guy plans on remedying Alaska's financial problems.........


It's all about trade secrets!  Sort of like a new CEO telling the new CEO all they need to know..  I think it's a great opportunity ..


Well, I misread the letter but you fortunately went with my shift to non-government groups even though Steve was writing about the government!


Yes... Hillary and company are winning the Gender War that is raging in the US election... and Trump is getting bashed from all sides.  He has two Gender War cards left in his arsenal of smut:

1. Hillary is a lesbian and will not be accepted as Commander-in-Chief

2. Hillary has cuckolded Bill and is a fraud..!

... and both cards are being tossed around in Trump's circle of supporters... quite sad but politics is a dirty nasty game... wonder how that will go over ....lol


1. Lead teachers to lowering the bar? Consistency? Is that what OCISS's true purpose is?
2. I mean where the bus companies were colluding under the noses of the DOE, yes. "Saving the state millions."
3. If DAGS is the joke, then the DOE is the punchline. Have you seen the condition of most schools?
4. Who's hiring and screening all those teachers with inappropriate behaviors? Isn't it DOE Personnel?
5. (Not 6) The AG is the state's legal department. What kind of "in-house DOE assistance" might you be citing? Does the DOE hire its own lawyers?
6. Is OHR "cleaning up the mess" that OHR let grow for decades?
.
The DOE has too many middle managers (EOs) and they grow their own work to justify their existence. DOE is the second biggest expenditure of tax dollars, and spends over $16,000 per pupil each year. We are not getting our money's worth.
.
The DOE needs a full and comprehensive external AUDIT of its central operations.


I think we offer stipends because the priest will be there when we can't. We pay inflated prices for candles and Mass as a form of sacrifice. The Eucharist is free because we cannot add to the sacrifice of Christ, but someone has to buy the bread and keep the lights on. I had a Mass said for my father on the first anniversary of his death. There was a transcription error, so Justine Bindner, whomever she was, had a Mass said in her name. Who knows, maybe my father had an absorbed twin.


luvable is the st vinny's of the dog world.  both my pups are from rescues from luvable and it still amazes me that these 2 genius dogs were set to be euthanized. luvable has a link for donations.  hint hint.
 he has a very dignified look in the pic -


I'm with Michael Albertson, keep up the good work Senator Wielechowski.


Trumps whole agenda is just to undo anything Obama. He cares little about proper policy, whats good for his country or any individual group. What he cares about is undoing anything Obama because Obama has made him look really stupid, but then again that wasn't all that difficult when you are dealing with a narcissistic idiot in the first place.

The Trump presidency will laughed at for generations and he has nobody but himself to blame. Remember, he picked the finest team ... nobody picks one better. Just look at his picks now eh Mr. Sessions and others


I'll bet he mentions fish camp in his speech


"There are 68 seniors at the Palmer home and 101 employees"  - do you not find that wrong?

Sorry my bad.  O'Leary throwing his hat in the ring is critically important news.  Worthy of hyper-focused left wing attention....and nothing else.

Exciting stuff, tell me, did he tweet about the colour of his tie?

Did he tweet his latest thoughts on skim vs. 1% milk?

What, he can't speak french...uh-oh, does he like expensive orange juice?

Rivoting...


No questions about Russia, of course not, most Americans don't care and the Dems really don't care and they want it to go away because the Dems know the real truth of Dem collusion will come out with the Special Consul's report.

I disagree with the author. when it's 16 below out like it was this morning, I am going to warm my car a little bit. let things warm up just a bit


From Factcheck:  It’s true that Obama raised a record amount of money from Wall Street for his 2008 presidential campaign, as the ad says. But Obama has had a rocky relationship with Wall Street executives since taking office — especially since signing legislation in the summer of 2010 that imposed tougher regulations on the industry.

And, there are some regulations which should be scaled back!  From US News:  "My feeling is that President Obama came into a terribly difficult situation. He did pretty darn well in the first two years. We had an economy on life support," Peter Morici, an economist and professor at the University of Maryland, said during an interview on C-SPAN earlier this month. "He got it up and rolling. But over time, a lot of the things that he did started to build up and create impediments to growth. This has been the slowest recovery since the depression."


More money for contraception in Africa? A look at the population growth charts shows that of the 30 countries with the fastest growth 23 of them are in Africa - 3-4% annually for each one of them. If the intent of this money, and the hundreds of millions handed over in past years, was to control the birth rate then it's not working out very well. Where is this money really going?


The law does NOT require "Free" charging station but "A" charging station.
Many places have started a pay as you go collection system for charging station.
We had a leaf for 3 years. charged it at home overnight. Never had a problem. Now we are registering another electric car with greater range expect that we won't have any problems.
I do not believe, other drivers than I so cannot state for certain, that we have ever used a "public" charging station.
Same thing as people who run out of gas. Bad planning, wishful thinking.
As for socialism you are right it is time to get those socialistic oil and gas companies of the government welfare rolls.
Erase subsidies, erase tax breaks, make them pay taxes etc just like everyone else.


There's been a mosque in Greeley for years. No signage, no hint of anything on an ugly commercial building on 8th Av, no trouble, either.

Pleasantly surprised the Council found a backbone last night.


I'm curious, is Colbert leasing from you directly or is that a sublet type arrangement?


Yes, let's definitely speak some truth about Faye Stewart's career.  There are negatives which should be remembered.


"Institutional racism" is a conspiracy theory propped up with correlation-causation fallacy and "white privilege" is a junk concept based off a bad essay written in the late 1980s by a Berkeley radical. Can you name the essay without Googling? Have you actually read it?


Merry Xmas Voters. Xmas in Hawaii came June 7 not Dec. 25.


And there you have it.  They don't obey laws, so why have them?


It was Rachel Maddow who, on the night of the election said Hillary would win by a landslide. I assume you trust anything that Ms. Maddow says, right?


Ugh.  I am a fan of the CBC for the most part, but the talking points in this article show how out of touch they are becoming.  No wonder the knives come out every time they are mentioned.

I do not understand how quality can be promoted through the establishment of arbitrary gender targets or aggressive funding of "underrepresented" filmmakers.  Either these people have the talent to create a piece that resonates or they don't.  Funding should go to those that do.

The Vice media party sounded equally odious, but for different reasons.  The hipster doofus mentality appeals to only a small fraction of the population, and the prevailing tastes of that sliver of population change the way an amoeba changes shape; i.e., by the minute.  Glomming on to the flavour of the day is a futile exercise that should only be attempted by club kids and edgy bands.


Throughout the 50s and most of the 60s, and for most of the period I can remember before that, the Church was a fairly monolithic institution with a fairly unified Mystical Body of Christ.  You may not have liked what they believed, but that's another question.  Then came the Reformers and the outright revolutionists.  When that occurs --- when a reforming or revolutionizing force sets out to change the status quo, monolithic institution -- who is sowing division?  You may even be RIGHT to seek fundamental change, but in doing so --- and especially in the WAY it's done --- it can hardly be said that the static Church seeks "division" by trying to preserve its existence in the face of efforts to fundamentally change it. Those who seek "reform" or "fundamental change" are the ones seeking to divide.  Indeed, not merely divide, but marginalize.  And that's what we have now.


I do spare a thought for first responders but not because they have to miss Christmas. Wish I could join them.


Speak for yourself!


Not only have I read it, I wrote it. What you are saying is in your own mind. Attributing your own thoughts to me is a cognitive malfunction. In other words, you're crazy.


I'm African?! I hope the police don't shoot me..


"I have a big problem with the demonization of so-called 'elites,'" So...quick question: Does that extend to the demonization of clergy and bishops? Because they get regularly condemned on this site for beings "theological elites." Just a thought


And...it was a sweet deal for the State, since the Army wasn't compensated.  They just chalked it up to training and public service.


Tie executive compensation to a multiple of the lowest-paid employee. This fix is easy, obvious, common sense, and therefore of course will never be implemented.


Given that two of the crimes against aboriginal women Elizabeth mentions were committed by police, maybe the inquiry should start with them and their relations with aboriginal people.


but the democrats are in charge and they say they care about us so this can't be true - can it?

decades of power and nothing to show for it except scandals, backstabbing, higher taxes and a welcome mat for illegals to come on in.


I wonder if the liberals and the liberal media have any idea how massively their democratic candidates are going to get SHELLACKED in the 2018 midterms and again in 2020 when President Trump is easily re-elected in a LANDSLIDE!

The liberal moonbats on the coasts are very much enjoying the vileness as the liberal media continues to try to destroy President Trump using any method they possibly can, including a Russian collusion fairy tale and now trying to paint him as a KKK racist.

But the Americans that voted for Trump in 2016 aren't quite as amused as the liberal moonbats are.  We are taking notes. The payback in 2018 and again in 2020 is going to be SO sweet - as we once again get to witness sobbing liberals with green snot-bubbles coming out of their nose from crying so hard about "stolen elections"!

RESIST the liberal media!  Vote for Trump/Pence 2020!


Nobody believes Jeff Sessions is guilty colluding with the Russians.What  we are witnessing is a desperate Democratic party trying to tar and feather the Trump administration .They have nothing else going on, no policy,no ideas, no substantive solutions. All  they have is a bunch of mud that  isn't going to stick and  looming  mid terms in Republican strong holds.
The moral outrage is laughable, this story also included a  debunked CNN fake news story that  included hooker urinating on Donald Trumps  bed at the Ritz Carlton  Moscow.
The fact is America has a shadow government leaking information , the crime isn't that Jeff Session met with an ambassador when he was a United States Senator its the flood of leaks coming out of the White House from Obama hold overs.
The swap cant be drained fast enough.


Military Lawyers, yeah that says it all. People that clearly become rattled when not working in an office. Bergdahl should be hung or shot by firing squad period. He deserted his post, his unit and got men killed in the face of the enemy. PERIOD end of story, he admitted to it. No one who has served oversees gives a rip about why he did it , he got men killed and needs to face the music for that.


Sorry Dan and Lisa, despite your desire to abort, you are required to carry this candidate to term. Trump is the baby you Republicans have made, and you should have kept your knees together if you didn't want to be responsible for your behavior.


SB only woks if there are corresponding increases in treatment and different philosophy in regards to community supervision. I agree reform  is frustrating , but it is necessary. We simply have not the dollars to keep doing what we have been doing. Big money for poor results doesn't work anymore for Corrections than it does for education. I also have to agree with Mr. Wolforth about too many Valley voters who elect these folks who promise them something for nothing. Sad to watch.


The neighborhood they moved to is Jefferson Westside and it really is the best neighborhood in town these days!


I would absolutely love to see the media explain why they cover these catty lawsuits regarding the immigration suspension and why not one of them are covering the lawsuits against the DNC for its corruption and rigging in the primaries.


I'm not an "Unlimited" subscriber but I'm intrigued by the headline about Wilbur Ross being pushed out of the way by the American NAFTA chief negotiator. I can find no reference to this anywhere else! For all Trump's posturing on NAFTA, the real work will be done by the professional negotiators for the parties and they will only accept general guidelines from the politicians, not micro-managing and political interference. That is why Trudeau is only making general remarks and not ludicrous claims as Trump does.


both countries are the biggest trade partners with a near equal export/import difference....regardless of leaders, the economy will dictate the outcomes..


Terrorism must be fought, yes. But National aggression against neighbours must also be stopped. This is a lesson of world war II. And make no mistake about it. Russia has been an aggressor.


Ron
Well stated. You might Google The Spirit Level. Made this Libertarian think. Rather than economic, their model is living conditions.


Or you could simply follow the constitution and save that $75,000 on governing.


Give it up already.  There is nothing that any government can do to reverse what has happened, short of an armed, socialist revolution.

Over the centuries, people have come in their millions to escape the limiting strictures of the economic class system in Europe.  Welcome to deju vu all over again.

With AI, robotics and automation advancing at breathtaking speed, the economic plight of those at the bottom of the pecking order can only worsen.


You see Brian, you are making assumptions about me and decided to paint me into something you can compute.  You know nothing about me, so it's interesting that you can group me. The thing is, I've agreed with some Wente columns and I've agreed with some Renzetti columns. Can you say the same thing?


Let the story of Zuma be a lesson to black people who vote for the ANC beacause it's the party that looks like them, next time I hope they would've learned to listen when we warn them not to vote for a criminal - 783 corruption charges - and a rapist.

Do visit your earlier statement about being racist or not. Gather your thoughts and probably rephrase your point. I think you could do better than this. find this.


It is evident now that mass immigration is serving to save incomes of  ruling class not improve economy nor increase living standards of people not belonging to "elites".


YES!  End Obamacare and dry up the already-shrinking government black holes that are "ACA exchanges."  A free and open insurance market and open, transparent pricing of medical services is all we need to fix our costs of medical care.  Doctors charge ONE price for every service, and customers compete for the lowest price.  Insurance companies charge ONE price- free of government strangulation and  regulation - and customers shop for the lowest price and best coverage.
.
Free markets, free of bloated government spending, free pricing structures, and free from government lies and corruption.  THAT is how we solve America's health cost crisis.


Bring this activist court to heel.

Our Constitution doesn't need a re-write.


So how come pollution got so bad here?

Market failure or dumb customers?


You can't win an argument with a Flat Earther, folks. If I hold a mirror up to your face, you will see that your head is round, with peaks and valleys and curves and depth. The Flat Earther, however, will examine the mirror, show you that it's flat, and then proceed to tell you that the roundness of their head is a hoax and you should never believe what mirrors tell you. Their capability to deny what they see with their own eyes exempts them from all scientific, logic-based explanations. Just give them their billboard (and tax exempt status) and they'll be on their way.


It amazes me that some posters who have, in the past, supported officers shooting young black me who have no weapon and are running away from them now attack the State Police for shooting Finicum who was armed, refused their orders to get down on the ground and reached toward his pistol.  Your post is a very civil invitation for Outsider to explain the logic of such actions.  Well played, Sir.  regards, Gary


A lot of us don't sing. We stand with respect. In Hawaii, people are kinda shy and don't want to sing if they sing junk. Thats respect! Mr. Hatakeyama has the right spirit and heart. We need a lot more like him.


The full text of Bill c-65, as introduced at first reading, can be found here:

Obamacare is 100% owned by Democrats.  If you're a Democrat then you need to claim your share.


The winner receives $6,000.00.   You can not hardly get out of town on that amount.  A quality food cart costs $10,000.00.


Very important!   In what  way?


Regarding your edit, (isn't that 7 min. bit annoying?), Judy Curry most certainly does not dispute AGW theory.


how about going after the mega rich, justin trudeau - and large, mn corporations.
go for the big bucks.


In the guise as the head of an agency he's supposedly leading, Pruitt is actually a proxy for the oil interests of his home state and elsewhere he so ably served as Oklahoma's Attorney General. It's then natural he'd be concerned about the confidentiality of his communications serving his mythical, debased and damaging agenda.


This is almost a form of a Ponzi scheme....

You might have a bit more credibility if you refrained from using absurd terms like Ponzi.  I am sure there must be some kind of financial Godwin's Law equivalent when the Ponzi card is played.

A company that issue shares in lieu of cash payments to a shareholder is able to retain that cash to reinvest in the company.  Resulting in the ability to fund capital inputs leading to further cash flow growth.  Clearly it is up to the shareholder to decide if they feel the company is deploying their capital in the most efficient manner.

Alternatively they could go directly to the market, or a banking syndicate to fund those needs incurring significant costs in the process.


What an amazing competitor she is! Keep on truckin, Allie!


Does anyone really care about the name-calling the democrats use to describe a conservative?  Except of course the left wing media and others trapped in the same smelly bubble.....


Isn't amazing how someone gets so rich working as a public servant???

The money isn't coming from her constituents !

You no where it's coming from!! Big corporations!
Wouldn't you love to see her net worth progress every year since her Daddy gave her the job?
Since congress will never vote on term limits, lets do it for them! "VOTE HER OUT"


It's Saturday and all sorts of like problems on the Peninsula!


Behold the neo-facists are out in the open now, giving free voice in North America to their holy trinity -- state power, nationalism, militarism -- expressed relentlessly by their prophet, Trump.
Firmly in place in France, UK, Italy, Hungary and Greece, evidence that the movement has now gained a toe-hold in 'socialist" Canada is best found in the comments posted in The Globe, Canada's "national newspaper."


Sorry, I realize now you interjected your comment in a thread between Burnt Norton and myself, in which he had called election predictions 'fake news.'

Although why you felt the need to repeat your comment about fake news using Alex Jones Infowars youtube, beats me.  I've already laughed about that one.


My recycled pop bottle fleece vests work better than the quilted down vest I inherited from my father. Dry off faster when I come in from the Wet / Left Coast weather, or from getting sweaty doing yard work.


big test this week , their playoff hopes are in their own control now.
