I had joked elsewhere that the G&M was giving free advertising to this event.

In fact, the G&M is officially one of the corporate sponsors, along with Credit Suisse.

Go ahead and try to register for the event.. you can't.


Asylum seekers crossing the Border from the US should be turned back per the UN Refugee convention.


No taxes go to fund abortions.

If you would like to prove me wrong, I would be more than happy to walk that back, but ZERO federal funds go to paying for abortion, even the money that does go to Planned Parenthood.

But then you already know that PP does very few abortions and are just trying to make this in a hyperbolic argument with inflammatory language, aren't ya?


I get it, but I was rolling my eyes on the writing about the Broncos after TWO wins. How many times have we seen the Broncos get off to a start like that and then the NFL catches up as it always does?

They like building up nonsense, but then really enjoy tearing the Broncos down when they lose with lousy, obvious views, Kiz being the Most High when it comes to that.

Guess I've seen it in here so many times it's gotten boring. I like being level, but it is a kick to watch people freak the hell out sometimes.


Old, white, male, impotent, finished.


And why does it take British media to investigate it? Where are our Canadian "journalists"?


Trump has done more for this country on the course then oblahblah did in 8 years in office 😀


Bingo.

I wonder if that was the GOP plan all along?


I wish they would write about Alaska having only two Exploration wells this year and how at that rate they expect TAPS to not shut down!

Let's write about that, okay!


Oh Wave, I speak from experience. I hired many people that had criminal backgrounds, convictions because they said they wanted to work and be a different person. I tried over and over, always belong that this was the person who was going to make it. They never lasted long. They stole, they no called, no showed, they violated parole and went back to jail, sold to minors, had their criminal friends hang around the business. It just got old real quick. Employee vehicles were broken into, employees had their coworkers steal from them, the cash register was light, cigarettes and liquor disappeared. I vouched for these people, I hired from halfway houses and just out jail, even when it meant they could only work certain days and times. Finally, enough was enough. I needed people who were honest, willing to work, reliable and dependable so other employees didn't have to constantly cover their shifts. You can hire all the drunk, druggie felons all you want. I learned my lesson the hard way.


It is not about the climate, it is about the billions of $ the USA gives to the "tree huggers" of other nations. Those are  the facts. Acknowledge it, or melt away as snow flakes do. MAGA !!!


yuknon,

Sounds to me like you are just looking for something to gripe about.  It is Garneau's responsibility to ensure this does not happen in Canada and he conveyed this message to Canadian airlines to ensure it does not.  You are seeing what is not there.


I want to agree with you but I'm beginning to think that the high road isn't working anymore. You can't walk into a streetlight expecting to play by the Marquess of Queensbury rules.

I'm afraid we're all going to have to get dirty to get through the next few years.

Barbarians don't respond to reason. They don't even want to accept the facts. There really is only one way to deal with opposition like this.


About REAL Country Mice:
We've lived in the country since 1974, on a 7.5 wooded acreage. Every Fall, mice seek refuge from the coming Winter, and so come Fall we set the traps. In a matter of a month or so catching mice,  10 - 20, we catch no more.
Our mice are mostly two kinds, brown and grey, normal size. BUT: here's the sign from the mice we're getting this year. So far we've caught four 'normal' mice - but - to our amazement we've caught 12 mice, a kind which we've never seen before. They are petite, sleek coated, mono-color grey, about half the size of normal mice, and clever at stealing the bait from the traps.
Someone please interpret for us this unexpected sign from nature.
It's TRUE, i kid you not!!!


please do not fly with young kids, and dont expect the kids to be tying up the seats with more legroom either - they are short you know


Biased and incomplete? You mean like the eco shilling that comes non-stop on the left from biased, well-funded activist groups intent on destroying the fossil fuel industry in Canada that is one of the most highly regulated, safe and clean systems in the world.? Ya, like that.


(Abortion is a ghastly business Dubcik. Not something our government ought to be pushing on people in poor countries).


How can this happen? The government has been saying there is little to no inflation justifying 1.0% Bank of Canada rate.

Unless it costs the same as private, I don't think it would. All the sickies would flock to the public option while the young and healthy would take the cheaper private plans. This would bankrupt the public option pretty quickly.


" you should pay closer attention to what your Republicants (sic) brethren are doing"

I find the establishment Republicans almost as disgusting as the democrats.....
They are not my brethren, and I do pay attention to what they are doing.
 ACA maybe headed in the 'right direction' as far as you are concerned, but it is headed toward an Alaskan tax cliff in the guise of the Cadillac Tax, tax bomb that the democrats put into the bill, that won't take effect until after Obama leaves office.

It would help if you could stick to facts instead of the fear mongering.


Good letter.


i read it as a defense of free speech...i guess it's all in your perspective/political leanings


The drug trade kills more Americans than do Russians. Just a point for reference since you're trying to be snarky


There have been many people expressing aspirations wishing a violent death upon President Trump. Now we know a 2.2 mile kill shot is doable so I hope the Secret Service has taken note and take the necessary measure to protect the President.


There should be no special tax breaks for any high-income earners unless all working-class people get the same benefits. The growing gap between the rich and poor is largely a result of the wealthy not paying their share because of loopholes that are now being closed.


Agreed. But lets also give accuracy some due here. Pope Francis has removed many priests, bishops and Cardinals over this issue. He laicized Josef Wesolowski in 2014 and put him on trial in 2015 in front of the Vatican Tribunal. In 2014 again in his own backyard in Argentina he laicized Jose Mercau who was convicted and pled guilty to sex abuse charges.

He has also done the same actions when it comes to bishops and cardinals such as defrocking in 2013 Luis Bambaren who was the former head of Perus Conference of Catholic Bishops and just recently his removal of Cardinal Mueller as the Vatican's doctrine chief which is significant because it was Mueller as head of the CDF who stonewalled a lot of the abuse commissions proposals.

So Pope Francis deserves legitimate criticism on not issues such as not ending the Pontifical Secret or changing Canon Law on this issue of sex abuse. But saying he's trying to protect child rapists is not one of them.


If there's anything I can do, Senator Wielechowski, I hope you let me know.  Thank you for having the balls to stand up for Alaskans.


I would like to bet that if  the  recipients in this story were the initiators , that the story would be closed to comments like yours.


Yes putting your company in bankruptcy and not paying all smaller vendors so they also default clearly shows how Trump "gets it". He gets it - but his definition of that word is not to give a crap about anyone but himself. His mouth talks but his action speaks......


1st your boy sunny ways has had had ample time to get rid of mandatory minimums - he hasn't. 2nd - when did Harper balance the budget? 3rd - Ontario one of the most populated provinces is run by the liberals and has been for some time.

Now what is your point please?


Sounds like these nurses need to get out more instead of staring at deceased Mr. Richard. Hope his family files a lawsuit!


Again Lynn, you have no idea who I am or what I do. You have automatically put me in the category that that dislikes homeless and travelers without meeting me. Would it shock you to know I have friends that are in the “legal” homeless camps, and that I work for a no-profit that assists people of all ages in need throughout the valley? And when I say assist, I work with people face to face to try help put them in contact with resources to help them recover from whatever may have put them in their current position. I also meet with people that disagree with me, or I disagree with, and I appreciate an open discussion in hope of exchanging ideas. You are a very passionate person, but your passion seems to have created a feeling of intense tunnel vision of frustration, annoyance. contempt, hostility, and resentment to others that may not agree with your point of view 100%. I always ask people to welcome constructive dialog,  and  I hope you will  be a facilitator, not an obstacle for change


Roughly the same odds as Wynne holding on to power in the next beauty contest.

Seriously, though, why do the right insist on self-immolation with every leadership contest?  The last federal contest was a bloody farce, with Andrew "I won because I am the least hated" Scheer walking away with the marbles.

It's probably time the ficons and the socons formed different factions.  They are fundamentally at odds with each other, and their incessant squabbling probably does their political opponents more good than a split vote would.


OHA may need new leadership, but the openly pro-assimilation Akina is not the one to provide it. As a fellow Hawaiian, I cannot fathom why he opposes the notion of sovereignty. While I respect Trask's history of bringing attention to the plight of native Hawaiains, her recent dust up with rep. lee make me think she is not as idealistic as she once was. I think Apoliona has done a fine job in her OHA tenure.


Why not let nature take its course? with our states budget cuts, one would assume this experiment should not be conducted @ this time...


Is east bound, kaneohe bound?


Good God.  Trump is appointing people with ties to Putin, his first campaign manager was nose-deep in the Russian power structure, and Trump expresses admiration for Putin.


Westerners seem to have an inferiority complex when it comes to Toronto. You might not hate Toronto personally but your probably in the minority as Westerners definitely come off as being very jealous of Toronto.


I would like to examine the liberal/conservative views of whoever complained to the State Bar about Arnold's offer of free representation in the Bundy case.

I don't believe they would reflect an adherence to the US Constitutional principles  regarding "Free Speech" or "Representation by Counsel" but just the opposite.

Personally, I believe the "Content Neutrality" requirement in this case will trump (so to speak) the volume issue.


We finally have a leader who leads and doesn't accept being pushed around and it's a problem...good grief!!!  "...deliberately trying to tear down the US standing in the world.."  REALLY????  Thank goodness Gore was never the President.


By definition, if she is fine with it she is not a victim and accepting her perspective is the responsibility of reasonable people in a free society.  Your comment is kinda like saying you would not accept a daughter who said she was fine being a lesbian.  You would apparently claim she was a victim.  Regarding power, all life is about deals.  The only important thing is that we are free to make them or refuse them.


Officials wasted $200 million on *planning* a failed bridge? HOW? Seriously, I want to know exactly what that money went towards. $199.5 million of that went into the pockets of those officials and we all fucking know it.


You cannot be serious. Harper still has an iron hand on the party???? He is the chief fundraiser???
How do you come up with this stuff?


People who patronise the smaller stores paid a price for convenience. Whatever else you can say about Walmart the price of living dropped by 10% to 15% when the 1rst Walmart opened in a Region and broke the Family Compact / Chateau Clique cartel that used to set supermarket and department store prices. Eatons, Simpsons, Woodwards, ... just a memory, thank goodness.


What exactly is appealing about anything in Barrow?


Are some of you seriously asking me for a definition of the "Scientific Method"?

Okay, let me get this straight...

You are unable to on your own seek out an accurate definition of the "Scientific Method", however, I am somehow to believe that you fully understand climate change and that it is 100% man made.


and where exactly do you propose these charities find the money to do these things?


Gerry, you really do need help. I wish you all the best


Eighty million dollars goes up in smoke because of an incompetent sailor.  Enlisted or officer, don't know or care but he/she should be reprimanded.  And to add insult to injury, this was a known preplanned test.


I'm in agreement, John. There were clearly Popes who were not fit for purpose in any time.


You see not not realize that that rail is one of the major catalysts for affordable housing which in turn decrease homelesness.


Correct, that is what is happening here after Obama got caught lying about Russia hacking the election.


You think this works in Trump's favour?
Carry on then.


The problem with NAFTA is the playing field is not level. All the talk about being competitive is nonsense when Mexico's labour & environmental laws are weak or nonexistent. Wages and standard of living are close between Canada and the US, but way out of bounds with Mexico and that is why Big Business sends their jobs there, period. There was talk of Canada joining with Mexico to team up against the US. Why? That only makes things worse for Canada.


There's NO conspiracy theory. It's pretty obvious. Kirky's bald faced, broken moral compass flaunting in the face of every person that PAYS him, showing how easily bought off he is and how he's got NO problem with it.

Who are you constantly defending the indefensible? His taxpayer paid PR flack or his daughter?

Ever hear of honor and integrity? Yeah...NEITHER has Cadwell...


She is a rusted out movie star and Oil towns will be rusted out wrecks of towns. Each similar. You know you will grow old and "Rust", and we know that Oil towns will die and rust out. The one difference is Mrs. Fonda (whether right or wrong in her stance) knows she is going to die. Northern Oil Towns, are still in denial.
Sad sight really.


It's always the doctors (like the teachers and public servants) who go militant when you try to crimp their cushy pay and lifestyle and undermine what little respect is left for their profession. Greed and entitlement is all this is. Ask any one of them to justify what they do for the avg $400K a year that a smidgen of intelligence and google can't do. What accountability do they have for the salary they draw and how can they justify tax breaks for them and not the rest of taxpayers? They get paid even when they kill their patients right? I don't recall hearing there is a need to do a good job to get paid. Sad state of medicine in Canada. Just another group of lazy entitled greedy unioners.


Ivanka brand marked for clearance!  Yet there she is at today's table on businesswomen with the President and PM of Canada.   Glad the Trumpster cares so much about the little guy - I mean gal.


Motley and Socks have driven investment out of Alberta and the BC NDP will do the same there.


Have you ever yourself ever darkened the door of an LIO in order to testify at a legislative hearing? It's hard to tell if your comment is sarcasm or an honest inquiry, but as a citizen I spend more than my fair share of time testifying and have since we first got teleconferencing.
Do they listen? Hard to tell. Some do, some squirm, some committee chairs are pissy and will cut you off, some won't call on you if they know you and don't like what you have to say, even if you are civil and polite. It's a toss-up.


Well, that'd definitely accomplish their goal of "liberating" us from pain and disease, I guess.


1/ Thanks for making my point for me. Your assumption is that no one has truly grappled with the church's position, or that cynicism over the church's ability to "heal" is both unreasonable and suggests the church incapable of appealing to reasonable people. Bunk.

As a woman in the Catholic Church I'm fully aware the church places greater value on a fetus than on a woman and effectively teaches that woman's reproductive capacity determines her ontological status, a reductivism not applied to the condition of men. I've put up with this indignity because there's nothing in the gospel suggestive of this nonsense, and the church has its attractions.

Please don't impute motive to me. I'm a mother, I'm not "hostile" to life in the womb. I've held the same position both as an atheist and a practicing Catholic. I believe abortion is morally fraught and should whenever possible be a last resort. But I believe it should be legal and safe.


While the author's intentions may be noble, it has been long established that two wrongs don't make a right.

He is, in fact, advocating for discrimination against 'white, straight males' and without a defined end point.  What exactly has a 20-something young man, raised in an egalitarian generation and era, done to warrant such punishment, other than being born white and likely straight? He did not commit the sins of generations prior -- why should he do unlimited penance for them?  Is it not wrong to discriminate against someone based on the colour of their skin, regardless of the reasons?

Moreover, it completely ignores the overall demographic shift and the fact that it takes many years, if not decades for a cohort to work its way through a system, and ultimately the trend is more important in determining what, if any action should be taken.

Encourage 'non-traditional' candidates to engage?.  Absolutely.

Perpetrate discrimination against a declining demographic? Absolutely not.

Your vitriolic scatter gun spraying of "alternative facts" to cover up your lack of courage to actually address the real question, is quite disturbing.  However, I'll try one more time to reason with you.

I thought we were discussing transgender people and they are not the same as gay.  Transgender people, despite having a biological penis or vagina, "feel" they were born in the wrong body.  Even for Rachel Dolezol who pretends to be black, her race/ethnicity is not biological.  You can't "feel" you are one race when you are biologically something else.   "Gender assignment"--what an odd expression--is based on science.  A penis equals male; a vagina equals female.  How society deals with these issues depends on the prevailing social mores and the requirements or restrictions of its institutions.  We now live in a culture of moral relativism instead of moral realism, and that affects the whole society from politics to education to social issues.  I accept a person's right to do whatever to his/her body, but it is my right to not approve.   My acceptance never seems to be enough.  And then there are transgenders who change, then change back, then change again.   Google that.


For many years, I rented a two-bedroom basement apartment in my own home at a reasonable rent to offset mortgage and other costs. The rent was raised only when the tenants left and even then at a reasonable rate. The entire apartment was renovated. But when I left the work world, I was concerned about my safety as an older adult dealing with the tyranny of the Landlord Tenant Act with its sole aim to protect bad tenants against people like me. I sold my home (which was not my first choice) so that I could get out from under a mortgage that would force me to rent part of my house. So sad that a moderate income rental was lost because the current landlord-tenant laws do not help good landlords to remain in business.


The policy of the church is that gays or straight clergy are to be celibate---no sex with anybody, even themselves.


someone send her back to the $h1t-stan she came from bruh LOL


The construction defects law only helps slip-and-fall lawyers and Democrat Party legislators who serve them.


My cousin is a police officer and she said that SHOPO's big gun attorney has gone before the commission many times but always got a deaf ear on the correct standard that should be applied.  She said it now looks like the judge and the lawyer Sheehan understand what is the correct standard  in support of SHOPO.  It makes sense that you can't judge the officer based on what the wild allegations may be in a lawsuit when people can say whatever they want in accusations.  I'm not making a judgment but the commission should follow the law.   No one is above it including the commission.  And how ironic it is that the most  critical voices on the commission support the officers in need.   This could bankrupt an officer so bravo to the judge and attorney Sheehan.


$62,500 X 2 = $125,000. They're at the max or maxed out. They also earned zilch over the years or forgot to at least put the money into a GIC or GIC's.

The reason I say "borderline" is because Gianforte has not yet been elected to congress. If he were than it would be unconstitutional. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

I would say if the founders forbade congress from passing laws abridging the freedom of the press, they certainly didn't want congressmen to physically attack the press.


Yeah we definitely need MORE real estate agents here.


The anti-Trump media says it is 'not quite the truth'.
But ask yourself, if it was not true, why did they prevaricate with 'not quite'?
It's because they are liars.


Liam, I respect your opinion.  I too paid before and would pay again.  I just don't think we have cut enough to justify a new state bureaucracy.  When we paid before there was no PFD.  Eliminate the PFD and I'll gladly pay an income tax - otherwise it is a transfer of wealth - takers taking my money

As the daughter of a WWII Pacific Theater veteran and the niece of an Army medic who treated Bataan Death March survivors, I can understand the deeply personal context in which Frei’s statement was made. However, the problem is that Frei was fulfilling his professional responsibilities as a reporter for the DP at the time and, as such, his words represented his employer as well. Perhaps a suspension
would have been more appropriate under the circumstances, but, as a long term subscriber, I regret to observe that there is not much left of the DP anyway.


Under ACA subsidy rules, most Medicaid recipients are not required to make RX copays if they declare they cannot afford them, even 3 dollar copays.  Opiates should be the exception.  I suggest a $25 per week copay that comes straight from their government check(s).  I know, I know, the liberals will say that 99.999% of these folks are virtuous and honorable and all of them are in excruciating pain and that a life long supply of high dose opiates is the only thing that works.


The indisputable evidence against Trump and his klan continues to mount. When Mueller completes the investigation, Trump and his boys will be toast. My guess is that Trump will step down on his own instead of waiting to be humiliated while in public office.

Gary Pickering comes across as arrogant, evasive and totally unapologetic for what he and KPMG have done. His performance at Scopa last week speaks volumes and illustrates precisely why he and Nhlamu Dlomu  (nice lady, very polite but way out of her depth) are in no position to make amends for this incredible breach of professional ethics and standards - and the devastating consequences they have brought on South Africa.

As David Maynier's DA colleague, Tim Brauteseth, scathingly commented "When we see people being taken away in handcuffs rather than being let go with bulging pockets" then maybe we'll be comforted and see how sorry you really are."

Dlomu, Pickering & their KPMG colleagues (including those "fired" with generous severance packages) should all be in the dock on corruption & other charges. Many of them clearly belong in prison for a long time. All should be struck off the SAICA & IRBA rolls (except poor Dlomu who isn't even a CA!)


Are you serious????

I...don't know. How do you make a case for loving people because of Church teaching, when you belong to groups that actively dissent from Church teaching?

I think a more credible case could be made without pretending that Church teaching is the criterion, i.e., we believe God's love exceeds the boundaries of our understanding, and that God's mercy embraces us all equally.


It's possible that rates will rise from here, but Rob has pulled the alarm many times over the past several years. Pro tip - don't take mortgage or investment advice from a newspaper columnist.


The Trump voters of my acquaintance focused - solely, it would seem - on abortion.  Great.  If Trump follows through with his pandering to "the Catholic agenda", perhaps some babies will be born who otherwise might not have been - to TrumpWorld, with its misogyny, racial profiling, ethnic exclusion, disability mocking and all sorts of other delightful characteristics of the Brutal Society.  Heaven help us all.


This is nothing but an defiant attempt to create obstacles within the initiative process to serve a select few, certainly not the registered voters of Lane County. I think you just punched your ticket out of office for your record stands and we'll see you next election, if not before.


There already are plenty of magazines and blogs that talk about pairings and such for cannibas consumption.  Those will certainly become mainstream just as with liquor once legal - as they should.

In my experience those forms actually help promote responsible usage, since the point is to enjoy something in moderation, not to get drunk for example.


Hahahaha...
Integrity?.. now that's funny!


The only Andrew Selsky from AP I could find is this one:

Africa Editor
Associated Press
July 2009 – Present (7 years 7 months)
Direct news coverage for all of sub-Saharan Africa for AP.

https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-selsky-b426b76

Interesting that he is writing about critters in Oregon (unless there are a couple more Andrew Selskys who write for AP).


The problem is actually in 2 ratios that lenders use - TDS and GDS which are 40% and 32% respectively.

This is like a self fulfilling prophecy - by setting GDS at 30%-32%, everyone buying a house or moving up will max this ratio out - people in bidding wars bid until they cannot borrow more.

Want lower housing prices and more disposable income for people to have kids, pay for daycare, etc., then the answer is simple, reduce GDS and TDS by 5%, and housing prices could be reduced by 1/6th (25% divided by 30%) if not more.

And remember, these ratios are calculated on BEFORE TAX income - most people only take home 75% or less of income, so in fact, the impact on standard of living would be higher


Interesting that the billboard is blank next to Trump and Hillary only - by not having Johnson they seem to be endorsing Hillary (almost). I wish the moderate Republicans had been able to guide their party rather than get pulled so out of whack by their leadership catering to special interests and where the conservative press wanted them to go.


To say Jerome Iginla's heart and hunger is superior to that of most NHL players is just silly.  The NHL is increasingly a young man's game.  Iginla's 8 goals (half on PP) despite receiving 2nd line minutes and significant PP time is telling.  Sadly it's 2017 not 2007

It's about time Alaska embraced the marijuana movement watch the tax dollars roll in


Ranger. Born & raised in Ak, raising my family here as well. Exhusband is Native. Spent a lot of time with his large family and relatives over the last 20 years, never heard any of them talk about ignoring "white man's" rules. My daughter is biracial. It's going to break my heart when she learns how many Alaskans hate Alaska Natives because of the color of their skin. I judge people by their actions, which they control and not by their skin color which no one can control. Crime stats prove Anchorage is just as bad as the villages - and we have Police AND State Troopers.


Politics.


I agree the opposite of resentment might be forgiveness, a moral choice that then accepts offense as inoffensive, even if recurring.

But I think the opposite of revenge might be justice, a moral outcome that reduces the odds of recurrence of the offense.


Even up here....racists, please go back to whatever .....hole you came from


Yes, yes and yes! I completely agree that HPD should be publicly accountable for their actions. But it troubles me that the Chief Prosecutor, Keith Kaneshiro is sitting idly aside defending his employee, Kathrine Kealoha. Kaneshiro continues to play the role of "Defense Attorney" when it comes to "Kathy." Like Chief Kealoha, Kaneshiro is arrogant and dirty! He refuses to cooperate with the Feds and continues to make statements like, "Kathy has committed no crime under the law." Sounds like Kaneshiro's years as a defense attorney is paying off! I hope the Feds turn their attention to the Prosecutor's office with the same vigor as they are giving to HPD.

The Prosecutor's Office should be publicly accountable for their own actions. Since 2011 the office has failed miserably in trying high profile cases (State vs. Deedy). The Appellant Court has overturned murder convictions (State vs. Collins) due to prosecutor misconduct and the list goes on. Is Mr. Kaneshiro above the law too?

Awww, the new generation: waiting for the old Caucasian to remember how to tie a bow.... So sweet.


I see by the posts that the anti Semitic  crowd is still alive and well in Canada.  Canadians  are now on the third generation of progressive education (indoctrination) since Comrade Pierre Trudeau, so this leftist ignorance is expected. The Islamic states will never allow Palestinian statehood as the Palestinians are more useful as proxy terrorists.  Besides, Hamas rules the Palestinians and Iran trains, funds, arms, and controls Hamas.  The Palestinians and Iran have stated publicly that they will destroy Israel and kill every Jewish man, woman, and child.   Israel knew where it stood when they seen Barack Obama as President of the United States bow to waist before the Muslim King of Saudi Arabia like some Dhimmi Apostate asking forgiveness for his mere presence.


I think I accurately summarized your remarks as saying Bernie got screwed by the DNC/Establishment and subsequently many D's were not energized to vote.

We are ALREADY at war with North Korea — and have been for 60 years. The Korean War does not officially end until a peace treaty is signed by all parties. All that exists currently is  a cease-fire agreement — which Kim Jong Il withdrew his country from on March 13, 2013. Two weeks later, he declared war on South Korea and his heir Kim Jung Un appears to be running his country as if a stray bullet from either side would resume full-scale hostilities.


1.) I was at White Mountain as part of a tour group. We were allowed to walk among resting dogs, but told not to bother, touch, or feed them treats without the musher being present. Anyone could have done it; there were volunteers wandering around supposedly keeping an eye on things, but it was haphazard and many times the entire rest field was unwatched. Heck, you could simply throw a small treat at a resting dog when someone's back was turned and it would be vacuumed up within a millisecond.
2.) The "prove you didn't do it" rule is not workable logic - it's impossible to prove a negative, and not allowed in law (think the Salem Witch Trials). Someone on the Iditarod committee please take a college-level course in Logic, and in Statistics/Probability.
3.) Mushers: never have a conversation with a race representative, for any reason and at any time, without recording it, and telling them you are. If you don't have it in writing/recorded, it didn't happen.


At best, this article is a basic description of unethical sales practices. Name on other industry where something is put up for sale at a price, but when a buyer offers that price they are told no, it is not enough.
When this market crashes, and it will, there is going to be a lot of litigation as buyers remorse stats to set in.


Precisely why some crazed monarchists who believe that she threatened the franchise may at some future date petition to have the statue removed.


So here's the question: How do we politically get to Brena's proposition?  We all know that the industry handmaidens absolutely won't do it themselves.   Until the current crop of legislators are ejected from office, nothing will change.


You obviously don't understand the acronym if you think it can be used for men.


Talk about sensationalism.  The loonie rallies over 10% and they are talking about a 0.4% softening like the sky is falling.

Its time for Iowa to go "single payer" like most first world nations ..............


Our AK state employees continue to conduct business on private email accounts.  Should we report each and every one?


This aligns well with the proposal for expanded rural broadband access. Which, in turn, could improve health care delivery for everyone (lowering costs), and improve educational opportunities as well. Also something that has been pursued long before last November. This is where the priorities should be -- moving smartly forward, not exacting revenge.
Now, how to pay for it ...

I've stated this before but maybe you missed it: I was a Bernie Bro. But to answer your question, yes I trust Hillary before I would trust anything Putin says! I trust our media sources before I trust the Kremlin's propaganda machine which includes Sputnik News Agency or RT (formerly Russia Today) or any number of propaganda sources that you most likely read and believe. You've stated publicly that you trust Putin and the Kremlin! When I was growing up we had a word for people like you and that word is "commie".....Dasvidaniya comrade RTH!


LW2: Listen, cupcake, you are not the center of the universe.

He seems like he enjoys life to me - You are the one who seems to complain about everybody. I appears you have a deeply ingrained allergy to truth, everything Cleanup said about Eugene is right on and correct. The question is OS, did Keillor go to any of these places ? Did he see the drug needles tampons, toilet paper, feces lying around in our parks, under bridges and public areas ? The answer is he didn't, he was, most likely, "hanging out" with rich disconnected, liberal, tenured, Profs from the U of O in a campus Bar talking about the good life, these people have about as much connectedness with how life really is in this city as the Man in the Moon does.


This whole thing is strategic.  Get the word out that we might take in 450,000 immigrants a year, then announce that it's too much and we're "only" going to take 300,000.  This way not only are we not mad that the biggest year for immigration of all time has become our "baseline", we're happy that they haven't increased it.


Why wouldn't they?  If gold was valued at $1200.00, and you had a horde of it you purchased long ago for $100.00, does that mean you should sell it for what you paid for it?  Ever take a business class?  Markets are made from 'supply and demand'  not emotional decisions.


One thing is also crystal clear about the Rockies, they have a lot of guys who can be good players on bad teams, toiling in obscurity, put them in meaningful games, and even a rumor of a pressure situation, and they will crumble faster than you can say choke.


Greetings....IMHO.....Cardinal Pell needs to be taken down because he represents the cold dark side of the Institutional Church.  The Church needs to cleanse itself by using him as the sacrifical goat on the altar of Justice!


"The war that American liberals created in Vietnam was a just war wasn't it? A liberal war that should have never happened."

Interesting ... this is the first time I've heard Eisenhower being called a liberal.  Of, course I guess the majority of today's republicans would classify him as such given their far right views.

" Not much unlike the Korean war."

Your historical perspective on this one is certainly different than mine, comrade.


Anyone asked how many officers work Property Crimes for APD?   Do they plan on training all officers on how to bring up the property being reported by Businesses?   Similar system in my city - can't tell you how many times officers have showed up looking for a stolen item and it goes like this.  We ask "Have you checked the pictures that we post for every purchase via your reporting system?"   Officers reply "What pictures?".   95% of the time they officers investigating don't know how to use the reporting system - ridiculous.   We spend countless hours entering info for every purchase and they don't even know how to use the system they implemented.


Perhaps they could have stayed at work...?


He ducked your comment . My brother is chicken

I am genuinely surprised at how many Trump supporters there appears to be in Canada, who are also readers of the G&M. Supporting and defending such a loathsome, thin-skinned, ideologue, must take a lot of effort.


Or ... if a marriage never took place, doesn't that make the now-climbing-out-of-bed-and-slipping-away-into-the-night bishops f*rn......s?


Aerial counts by professional wildlife biologists is sufficient.


Opening ownership to foreign buyers means we would be part of a global oligopoly rather than a domestic one. Corporate concentration can not be solved by markets; the reliance on markets has created these monopolies.


It is about both - Eucharist's primary symbol is the community.  You appear confused.  Try reading your catechism again.  Liturgy is both horizontal and vertical.  The symbol of that community is the table of the Lord around which we gather.
Theology/liturgy is best when it is *both/and* rather than *either/or*


Try to stay on topic...


Good for them for exercising their rights for a peaceful protest. I fear that they are misinformed as to what they are protesting though and they may want to do some research before they fly thousands of miles to participate in North Dakota.
There already is a gas pipeline running through that right of way and there has already been two FN approved archaeological studies performed so the burial ground argument is pretty weak. And they are not protesting peacefully in North Dakota. Pipebombs, molotov cocktails, and rocks have been used against peace officers and one protester was charged after she tried to shoot them as well.
It is funny looking at the signs that these protesters in Anchorage hold. They are anti oil and gas and talk about climate change yet do not hesitate to jump on a plane to fly down. What is their carbon footprint? You cannot say that you dont want oil yet use more than most of us average people.


The message was clear from the start. We live in a country where the criminal, corrupt and the wicked rule with impunity. It is a story as old as time itself. Not to preach but even the bible knows this story. When I read Proverbs 30:21 I see old JZ and his ANC and truer words could not be spoken.


Too many exaggerations in there.  Osweiler is worth more than a box of used tissues.  Which is why he's here again.

What he wasn't worth was an $18M/yr starting QB.  Which is why HOU (and then CLE) cut and ran.

Is he worth a $775k backup QB?  Hell yeah!  Bargain price for an experienced backup QB that helped us get to SB50 in the same role.


Bad idea. Here is a good example why.

I see greater parallels between the middle east and the Filipino campaign during the last three years of the Spanish-American War--and continuing for about ten years after--during the McKinley and Roosevelt administrations--fraught with some of the most indefensible and hideous (but nonetheless American-celebrated) atrocities imaginable, and which Rudyard Kipling "serenaded" with some of the most sickening imperialist propaganda of the last two centuries.

Said atrocities were so horrific Samuel E. Clemens--who was initially in favor of the war, mind you--remarked: "The United States should change its flag from the Stars and Stripes to the Skull and Crossbones."

I suspect he'd have similar opinions of America's machinations of fear and loathing in Iraq and Afghanistan.


Yes, of course they would like to make a quick exit.  Ideally before the facility opens, and everyone realizes it can't do what its promised and that it was nothing more than a bailout of Ian McGregor by his good friends in the Government of Alberta.

Another white whale paid for by taxpayers to bail out a failed business venture.


Yeah, man! Geithner, Rangel, Sharpton, McCaskill....Oh, you said GOP. Must not have heard of those "other people" from that "other party".


Gerald and Justin must be laughing all the way to the ballot box while Maxime and Kevin make the laundry hamper public.

This kind of infighting shows everyone just how splintered the party has become.  Harpo managed to keep the dissident voices somewhat quiet, but those rifts are coming to the fore.


Already started.  Hang out with that orange haired POS and you're tainted for life.  Peyton Manning is now a douche.


This will make biking to downtown Springfield much more convenient.


Lucky for the way this turned out and thanks is differently in order for Springfield PD. The homosexual lifestyle includes a more often  violent lifestyle largely hidden from public view by the media and LGBTQ agenda.

The church over there is blaming the victim. A local Catholic news publication is trashing the girl.
Quote Daily Mail Online:
A Christian weekly magazine, which is backed by a Catholic Sabha or association, blamed the alleged victim for the event and said Mr Vadakkacheril may have momentarily “forgotten his position”.
“Daughter, why did you forget who a priest is?" read an extract in the Sunday Shalom, according to an India Today translation. "He has a human body and has temptations. He may have forgotten his position for a few seconds, my child who has taken the Holy Communion, why didn't you stop or correct him?"
Father Paul Thelekat from the Bishops’ Council, also commented on the incident and blamed consumerism for the rape.
You would think every priest, bishop and cardinal on the planet would be issuing apologies and offering help to the girl but no. Instead, the church has stolen the baby from the girl (i.e. the baby from the priest's rape).


Those who wish to destroy unions are those who wish to finish destroying what's left of the middle class in our country. If you are a non-union worker and you think you're wage and benefit package is fair the you should go find a union member and thank them.  It is they who banded together to raise wages and benefits for the population in general.  If not then get organized or go begging.


Let BarryCare burn to the Ground. That'll light the fire under the Rep.'s rears.


You must have replied to me by mistake as your comment is non sequitur to mine.  I point out that this news is likely generated by a traitor who break an oath of secrecy to the USA to reveal confidential information.  Hillary was found not guilty in emailgate.  Done deal.  Does one stupid investigation justify another?


When does it end?  More reckless blank-check spending resulting in more grabbing at taxes. Weren't we talking property tax earlier?  And mind you I am anti-austerity as I am huge believer for funding education, social programs, housing, environment etc. and investing in our people, island and future.  But I am also anti-stupidity.  So this seems like steps in the right direction but it's still moving forward on something that may not make difference.


Did you bother to read the piece? Can you say confirmation bias?

"Florida State University Professor of Criminology Daniel Mears says that “good data” focused on immigrant criminality - specifically undocumented immigrant criminality - is scarce. "


Lucky dog.


I do not have particular confidence that, with a 'confession' extracted by torture or promises of leniency, the teenaged Khadr did what he was accused of (and let's talk about, in that case, charging busloads of Western drone operators with murder, if that's the case). I do know that the manner in which he was confined was illegal, and, if he was the "enemy soldier" he was supposed to be, he was not treated according to the tenets of the Geneva Convention under which our own armed forces ostensibly operate.

TL;DR: You can't suck and blow at the same time on this case. Everyone in the chain of accountability betrayed the rule of law for political gain.


Wow this is cool the Glob and Mall wants me to pay 49Cents a month to read the lunatic rantings of 777.   Are you kidding me, they would have to pay me.   So sad , so bad you never went back on the meds.     Heh clown so you are still at it 18 hours a day.    You would never get the help I suggested that you get on the national radio program.

Racial profiling will result in a more effective outcome.


Why are people so stupid? Just amazes me, they think they can get away w/ anything and then think they can get away from the law.


This just doesn't belong on CB. What I get from this trash is that they condone people taking secret video at private CASUAL parties (I see shorts, jeans and slippers on the guests which usually means relax, have fun, we're off the clock/record tonight) of people just to make trouble. I've never viewed CB as a TMZ/Sensationalism type publication but obviously I was wrong. What exactly did he do so wrong given the setting? Dropped an F bomb and gave a passionate speech that probably could have been shorter? Hardly a case for an inquisition and public hanging. Kicking a man while he is down is just shady. Talk about standards. I'm holding CB to a higher standard and they didn't meet it with this one.


A warrant is not always needed, depending on the totality of the situation.  Exigent circumstances, where evidence is likely to disappear, is one major exception. But again-it depends on the entire situation, which is often vague and fluid. But I would think the deck is stacked in favor of "exigent circumstances" being present for a vehicle that contains, or recently contained, a gunshot victim. Proper procedure in that case would be to do a cursory search and if anything is found then the vehicle is held and a warrant is applied for,


Once they are dead, no one measures them that way again.  They can still be beat, of course.  No horse is too dead to beat, as you continue to demonstrate.

You just reminded me of a consulting project I had about 30 years ago to provide a short list of the 3 best candidates to be the new CFO for a fast growing, medium sized company in the communications industry.

I always provided lengthy reports on the pluses and minuses of each short listed candidate  and summed up with my first choice and why.

In this case, my first choice among three top flight executives happened to be a black executive.

While I worked on a retainer and guaranteed payments basis, I still wanted to push for the best of the 3 choices for both my reputation and my no charge replacement guarantee of a full year after the executive's starting date.

So I tried various arguments on my client including humour.

"Jack," I pontificated, "there are only two colours when it comes to finances and to CFOs, black and red - and black is good!".

The client hired the black CFO and he was a star performer for several solvent years with that company.

(Sometimes humour helps.)


I thought he was a bot, no one could possibly spend day and night in here disagreeing with every comment posted.


This isn't about divide and conquer.  It's about moving forward with a plan that is, in fact, reasonable.

And, yes, it's about time there was accountability from the provinces in how well they use money earmarked for health care in their provinces.


Forget incentivizing any person or entity producing wealth and moving society forward. Progressives (misnomer 4 sure) have "repackaged" the failed Bolshevist meme of "peace, land and bread" into endless war (more government), free bread-housing-phone-tuition-gas-childcare-daycare-seniorcare-healthcare-anything else.

Don't worry.  Progs will instill a sense of victimhood, across the land, through the divisive politics of class and race in lieu of prudence and work ethic.  This strategy will drive the most productive middle-class in the history of the world to serfdom. Personal wealth is a thing of the past as banksters abscond with savings...tax burden skyrockets...personal property rights are undermined...good jobs exported overseas...and compensation is undermined by a flood of cheap labor streaming across the border.

Let's all practice queuing up for that next government handout.


what about 'cut' don't these folks understand? maybe they need to hang out with moms/housewives for budgeting 101?


Appalling that there is actually people in this world who insist on not only having a voice, but also will venture outside, engage with others, talk with them, be around groups of many different people etc.  If only everyone would hunker down, build bigger fences, have more guns and hate every single person that is different than themselves.


Things are looking pretty good for Hillary. Democrats are energized. They'll turn out.


I am sorry, and am still hazy on the concept.

You have no passport, No social insurance number etc?

If you have those then I am not sure what it is you are missing

Personally I have a SIN, birth certificate (one of those Ontario plastic thingies), and a current passport...not sure what else would be needed...


Yeah, you said it all, you didn't vote for him.   The GOP Christian right is telling us what bathroom to use, not Obama.  LOL


con't: Trump did the only reasonable thing and saved a costly and losing court battle.  He instructed Congress to act soon as they need to now - the fed has been forced.

That Trump rescinded an illegal order as he was forced to do by State AG's, and has not said he wants these people out; quite the opposite he's demanding congress get their act together so these people can stay, makes this editorial analysis baffling.  No research, just more anti-Trump insanity, typical from the commenters but would hope the editorial team is better.  Intelligent people get sick of reading this useless "cruellest" junk when there was no effort at all to explain the politics behind it.

Trump did the most reasonable thing with a 6 month grace period, any longer and he just would have been sued and lost (quicker).  The anti-Trump craziness here is funny if not sad.


Only took a few billion$$$$ before the public realized Caldwell lied to us about the cost of rail in order to keep union support to get re-elected. Articles like this get buried in the print paper. Must be the Star Advertiser support of Caldwell and rail. Hope our only statewide newspaper doesn't become like the media on the mainland where partisan stories rule and everything else doesn't get reported fairly.


Where were you eight years ago??? A Kenyan was an American president. Where was your outrage then!!?!' Your so full of Botox to cover your absolute stupidity.

Welcome to the United States, now officially the largest Third World Banana Republic on the Globe. May as well stop all election processes, we're a land without law now so no need to send law makers to represent us. The current ones have now clearly demonstrated they are completely useless.


I remember all too well. It is a healthy reminder why the NDP were left with only two seats that last time they were elected. This time they were appointed, go figure.


Because of population growth, systemwide the enrollment has increased to over 60,000. If you look at Public Schools it seems that an increasing number might not be attending the uh system but attending other colleges and going to the mainland. And here's a quote on the uh..

"UH-Manoa must tackle retention rates and faltering graduate-student figures — about 25 percent of freshmen are not returning for a sophomore year, and graduate student enrollment plummeted by 19 percent between fall 2010 and 2016..."

Freshmen are having a rough time at Manoa and it seems that there is insufficient aid to graduate students for research or teaching. The community colleges provide tutoring and counseling for their students having a rough time. It's no surprise that they continue their steady growth. Manoa should follow their lead. On the research side it seems that the legislature needs to support. For example Cancer Research Institute.


Your answer speaks for itself.


PS:  That should have been "rot" instead of "corruption".  But really, either one works.


You're lying. Rwanda was a domestic case of genocide. Clinton sent a prominent black leader friend of mine to Rwanda to assess what might have been done. His efforts were never publicized. Clinton said that a failure to intervene early there was his worst mistake, but he never involved the U.S. military. Have you the faintest notion of what you're writing about?

5/29/96: President Clinton on Tuesday broadened federal benefits for veterans exposed to Agent Orange, ordering the government to provide disability payments and health care for Vietnam veterans with prostate cancer or the nervous affliction called peripheral neuropathy. adding the two ailments to the seven linked to the deadly herbicide for which veterans are already eligible for aid. He also said the administration would propose legislation to give benefits to children of veterans suffering from spina bifida, a spinal cord disorder connected to the defoliant. It was the first time family members could receive such benefits.


Good thing for Puerto Rico Trump's words don't match his actions.  Puerto Rico is getting all of the help they need and deserve from our government.  But, as always, our government only contributes in a small way to the relief victims of a disaster receive.  For example, Convoy of Hope has posted that a cargo ship containing three million meals arrived in the British Virgin Islands, which lie directly east of Puerto Rico. So far, the Convoy team has been able to send nearly 1.2 million meals and distribute hundreds of hygiene kits, tarps, and solar lanterns.  This is on top of what the Red Cross and other non- government agencies are doing.  Plus, the governor of Illinois, Bruce Rauner, donated a plane filled with drinking water to the island to be distributed to areas in greatest need.  Both church and non church entities are stepping up big time to help the citizens of Puerto Rico.  But all you want to do is whine about Trump's big mouth.

You are correct. The US opioid epidemic won't end as long as these drugs are being excessively prescribed. In this regard, it is worth examining the fundamental rationale for this, expressed by Dr. Kozak as, "There is nothing wrong with relieving pain,." Is this true?

There is overwhelming evidence that an intact pain response (nociceprion + movement) is essential for tissue health and healing, and that blocking pain (or free movement) results in strain, inflamation and damage to tissues, particularly in our high-use and weight-bearing joints. Injury can happen very quickly, but healing happens slowly and depends on an intact pain response, uninterrupted for months.

Sadly, the failure of U.S. physicians to appreciate basic physiology is at the core of their misguided reliance on unsustainable artificial systemic analgesis (pain relief with opiods). Poor training has allowed therm to be led astray by the illusion of a quick fix to pain/injury and by false pharma propoganda. Auwe.


Weekly Standard guy read w-a-y too much P.J. O'Rouke in Jr. High.

But he did write this:

"All around me, good non-antifa liberals go about their business, pretending none of this has happened, carrying “Stand Against Hate” signs. There’s the sound truck with preachers in clerical garb, leading a “Whose streets/our streets” chant. There’s the gray-haired interdenominational “Choral Majority” singing peace songs: “There’s no hatred in my land / Where I’m bound.” I want to vomit on the Berkeley Peace Wall.

"I’m made even more sick when I look down . . ."

Take away - "good non-antifa liberals" make the author sick.

Gotta wonder what he likes.


More stringent standards of suitability are needed for police recruits, In Britain, their elite combat unit, the SAS has standards which few can attain because they are so tough they border on being cruel but the mandate of this organization is operations behind enemy lines whether that is in the searing heat of the jungle or the bone chilling cold of the Arctic, if captured, their fate can be torture & execution.

Obviously not anyone can do this, it requires a certain mindset and because the standards are so tough, odds are that successful candidates have the right stuff.

The actions of James Forcillo are a case in point, he clearly wasn't up to the job, had a more stringent selection process been in place, that fiasco may have ended differently.

Those in charge of civilian police need to take a hard look at this, why an officer shoots an automobile, beats up and / or shoots unarmed suspects & civilians.


If you read the Goldschmidt story, he funneled  money to Ms Dunham for years after the "affair."  If you read her biography it's a very sad tale.  Those "rewards" for acquiescing to sexual abuse or harassment and, often, for remaining silent about it are very, very typiocal in cases of such abuse.  It's all really disgusting stuff and, IMO, the efforts to "blame the victim" just make it that more disgusting.  Gary crum

Ah, another Catholic who believes that his moral model should be Adolf Eichmann. You will remember that Eichmann attempted to defend himself by saying that he had his superiors make the moral decisions and all he did was accept what they told him. You are telling me that Eichmann was correct in doing that.

No, what you want is the sort of Thought Control that Orwell's Ministry of Truth wanted. Yours is a wholly totalitarian mindset.

I follow Thomas Aquinas who wrote, "Every judgment of conscience, be it right or wrong, be it about things evil in themselves or morally indifferent, is obligatory, in such wise that he who acts against his conscience always does moral evil." -- Quodlibet 3, 27

His discussion on whether one is bound to do what an erring conscience calls for in the Summa Theologica I-II, q 19, art 5 expands on this, but the bottom line is that every conscience binds, even an erring one.


Ken_Conklin, You have your views about churches, and other people have their views.  You're upset because everyone doesn't have your view.  You're going to be upset for a long time.

Preventing slavery in Canada was very important to the people of the British colonies.   Fighting international slavery was a social activist  movement  akin to environmentalism today. The Presbyterian church of York, now Toronto, was  outspoken about ending  forever the pernicious practice.   They believed it violated principles of human justice and violated God's laws of how the world is ordered.  Slavery played no part in the economy of the colonies, so passing laws to against  slavery was relatively easy.


Yet you are posting here.
Hilarious!


Many things do come down to cost. If you are wrong and climate change scientists are right, our grandchildren will be paying megabucks to build dikes around all the major coastal cities of the world. Remember it cost $14.5 Billion for flood control upgrades in New Orleans alone after Katrina. http://www.nola.com/hurricane/index.ssf/2013/08/upgrated_metro_new_orleans_lev.html
Now multiply that by 1000. These costs far exceed the costs of simply reducing our current production of CO2.


Hopefully it will be complete by 2025.


I agree with you.
Too often it's the "strings" that pollute the religion.
Churches should be wary of the strings attached to the money.


If her vote is anything like the VAWA reauthorization, she'll cave to McConnell and company. She won't look out for her constituency and she'll abandon those who voted to keep her in office in 2010 in favor of financial support (Koch).

I don't think he's lying.


I was diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes and put on Metformin on June 26th, 2016. I started the ADA diet and followed it 100% for a few weeks and could not get my blood sugar to go below 140. Finally i began to panic and called my doctor, he told me to get used to it. He said I would be on metformin my whole life and eventually insulin. At that point i knew something wasn't right and began to do a lot of research. On August 13th I found a blog  http://mydiabetesday.com/i-finally-reversed-my-diabetes/   I read that article from end to end because everything the writer was saying made absolute sense. I started the diet that day and the next morning my blood sugar was down to 100 and now i have a fasting blood sugar between Mid 70's and the 80's. My doctor took me off the metformin after just three week of being on this lifestyle change. I have lost over 30 pounds and 6+ inches around my waist in a month. The truth is we can get off the drugs and help myself by trying natural methods


An appropriate one, considering you just wrote that calling diversity a marxist plot was "an accurate analysis."


Yes California has a water shortage, but the bottling plants don't. The International Bottled Water Association says that about 3.1 billion gallons of water are bottled in California annually. Nestle, for example, uses 725 million gallons of water annually at its California bottling plants. Where will the water enter California? Pipeline over land? How long a pipeline? "(The system) uses gravity and floatation to create energy to generate electricity to purify water to drinking water standards," rather vague. Enough energy to pump it over mountains? Because there are mountains under the ocean. This thing will require tons of public money.


Doctors nationwide tend to disagree with you. The majority of them would like it to be improved but definitely not go back to pre Obamacare.


The winner-take-all method of awarding electoral votes became dominant only in the 1830s, when most of the Founders had been dead for decades, after the states adopted it, one-by-one, in order to maximize the power of the party in power in each state.

The constitutional wording does not encourage, discourage, require, or prohibit the use of any particular method for awarding a state's electoral votes.

States have the responsibility and constitutional power to make all of their voters relevant in every presidential election and beyond.  Now, 38 states, of all sizes, and their voters, because they vote predictably, are politically irrelevant in presidential elections.

The National Popular Vote bill is 61% of the way to guaranteeing the majority of Electoral College votes and the presidency in 2020 to the candidate who receives the most popular votes in the country, by changing state winner-take-all laws


Why not Tomahawk the oil pipeline and train tracks running down from China ?  Dare them to respond.


Frau Merkel's declaration of open borders and Obama's embrace of that policy led directly to the deaths of thousands, as migrants from all over the middle east, Africa, Afghanistan, south Asia, clamored into flimsy rafts for an ocean voyage to their watery graves. Some legacy.


With the current rail project running to an expected 10 Billion (or likely much more) the current FTA contribution is just 15%, of which less than 7% has actually been given to HART. Therefore a small fraction of the rail cost.

The FTA administrator quit and went to work for AECOM, another HART rail contractor, so a new one will be appointed by Elaine Chao, Trump's new Secretary of Transportation. The whole project could be changed by that. The FTA should come out to Hawaii and tell everyone what they plan to do now. Caldwell likely doesn't want to see that happen...


Wasn't this one of the "common sense" proposals from the collectivists, insurance to protect the society that was being harmed by "unprecedented and historical" amounts of their illogically termed "gun violence"? And now, when the NRA implements one of their "common sense solutions" and makes it available, they seek to villify their own suggestion by coining the term "murder insurance"?
Perhaps this bait and switch tactic is an example of why no one who owns a firearm has a scintilla of interest in "compromising" further with these irrational individuals?  Just a thought . . .


Question: Who would you support, or vote for, if the choice was between Samson or David or Solomon and Rahab the liar for POTUS?


The RG.  Again, showing irresponsible journalism.  They switch from Disqus to Civil Comments to clean up the posts.  But they in turn print this kind of letter.  Go figure.


Is it an "attack" when it's an agreed-to plan of action? There may be more to this story - this bizarre, twisted, suicide-by-nail-gun drama.


I'm guessing the 'state's plan' will be to bend over, put your head between your legs, and kiss your hind end goodbye!  (but it will still cost a few million and be over budget)


In this day an age I would think a laser system could track and immobilize a missile threat. But I may be getting ahead of myself.


Kids go home on vents all the time. Not fantasy.


And for your next joke .....


You mean like the war to stop Hitler?  And WWI also against Germany?  The war against Japan, who bombed Pearl Harbor?  How about retribution for 9/11?  None of these okay with your small mind?  You young, non-thinking' 'lead' 'amen nodders' have no real education, just spew and repeat what some Socialist told you to, how sad for you.


So you are claiming that all/most/stat sig number of poor or non-white people are inherently criminal? Who's the racist?

See, violent crime is nowhere near evenly distributed in poor communities but very concentrated among a small sub-culture. You excuse those violent sub-minority by lumping in the vast majority of the poor and disadvantaged with them rather than insisting on personal accountability.

Try some truth instead of virtue-signalling how egalitarian you are.


Mr. Patriot,
  You're in the midst of a battle of wits with an unarmed man. Give it up.


onions meant "those people"


Excellent points.
Of course what's good for us is not acceptable for others.  Nukes for example.  N Korea namely. (not that I'm advocating they have nukes -- any more than Trump ought to have them).


Another killer gets his  photo plastered all over the media.  When are you people going to get that this is the attention that they seek?  Let's start being more responsible in our journalism.  Let's plaster the photos and names of the VICTIMS.  But assign a number (with no photo) to the killers seeking media attention.


Relax .................. Its only "Fox and Friends" that are "whining".


This "Made in America Week" brainstorm is yet another indication of how stupid the Trumps actually are.

Surely someone should have thought "Wait a minute, Trump critics are sure to point out that Trump products, including Ivanka's tasteless, overpriced junk, are almost all made overseas."  But no, push on, Donald.


New Zealand allows Canada  unfettered  access to the NZ lumber market so why doesn't it have unfettered  access to Canada's dairy market.


The most fair thing the government could do from a tax perspective is to have household tax returns.  This would make income sprinkling obsolete and would make it fair for households that earn the same income, whether it is from one source or two.
Unfortunately that was the first thing the Liberals eliminated, so now a household with $90k in income will pay significantly different taxes.  A household that has two equal incomes will pay about $5000 less tax than one that has one income.  Is this fair?

Also, what I would like to know is what "unfair" tax avoidance techniques our Prime Minister and Minister of Finance are using.  We should request their tax info for the last 10 years and see if they have been paying their fair share.


If the US Congress ever votes to permit a State to declare bankruptcy (which they have not) and if SEIU takes it all the way to the US Supreme Court because their attorneys think that the 10th and the 11th Amendment to the US Constitution do not authorize a Federal Judge to tell a sovereign State what to do and if SCOTUS rules against them, then that Federal law might permit bankruptcy.

Except that the US Constitution prohibits "Impairment of Contracts" as well.

That's assuming that the Democrats in Oregon who rely on SEIU and the other unions to support their re-election would ever do such a thing in the first place and that a referendum which talked about all the widows who would lose their benefits didn't overrule the Legislature.

"Firemen and police widows sue State of Oregon!"  Great headline!


None of the excuses I've heard from Bettman as to why NHL players cannot participate in the 2018 Olympics have little validity, particularly since the league, in the form of its little, short-sighted boss, appears, at this stage, willing to go to China in 2022.  If, as suggested in this article, most of the "stars" decided en masse to represent their respective countries, what could the league do- suspend them all?  Doubtful.  This is just another nail in the coffin, IMO, and an added reason why I watch maybe 10% of the NHL hockey I watched 10 years ago.  The IOC could give a rat's ass about the NHL; it's not going to change it's policies just for the NHL but it could very well ensure that NHL players will not be taking part in the 2022 games should they not participate in South Korea.  My sense is there's still traction in this story so don't bet your bank account yet on this going one way or the other.  Sure wish Bettman would retire though and get out of our hockey lives.


Funny Timmy.....

I wonder why the US Military hasn't been able to stop ISIS, who are largely armed with rifles, with their fancy Hellfire Missiles?

Could it be that you know as much about Military Matters as you know about history or the Constitution?

Technical Weapons have NEVER won a war by themselves.  Yes, yes, we dropped two nukes on Japan, but it has always been Boots on Soil (my men with rifles) that ultimately decide the issue.

That is why the Founding Fathers gave us the Second Amendment.


Seems just a roundabout and burdensome version of Single Payer.  Why bother with all the paper work can shell games?


I've no doubt the author has experienced racism throughout her life. But I'd like her to understand that many non-blacks have experienced much of what she's written about. My white husband's university educated parents were told by his kindergarten teacher that he would likely need to go to a technical high school. She concluded he wasn't very bright because he only ever played with the blocks (he managed to get a biochem degree & MBA). Fitting in on Bay St with the "private school boys" was difficult and he always felt like an imposter. One year the partners at his firm took the younger partners to a men's store to have them buy new clothes (with $ taken from their bonus) because they didn't approve of how they dressed (not expensive enough suits). He was told to buy a new car and when he didn't get the German one, the partners' faces fell.  We just took it all in stride with a "whatever" attitude and played the game.    Sometimes it's not about being black or a woman.


For someone who so frequently attacks others for making assumptions, you make an awful lot of them yourself.


Fine. Good for you that you followed your conscience and joined a church that believing Catholics -- millions of men and women -- don't believe is the right church for them, in a deeply moral and ecclesial way.

Catholics women (I know) also don't feel shriveled to reflect positively on their own church's self-evaluation as the Body of Christ. Nor do they feel the need to go to Protestant Episcopal posts with frightening almost narcissistic projections of their own "despair" that Episcopalians are doing harm to marriage and family (owing to their position on gay marriage, among many, many other moral issues).

I also know some former Episcopalians who would never think of going on an Episcopal post as you do (on a Catholic post), however much they are shocked at the moral direction their former church is taking. The door swings both ways. To the credit of former Episcopalians (in over a dozen US Ordinariate parishes), you rarely see them with their visors down attacking the EC.


I am also talking about Seward in specific. And that night in specific. You aren't the only one who lives in Seward. And the fact that you refer to them as 'mundane pullovers' shows a complete lack of understanding of traffic stops.


It is almost impossible to believe that this is really where we are at in this country.  These two will vote for a trillion dollar tax cut for the wealthy as soon as they can, but relief for millions without homes and basic necessities - nope.  We must stop electing such indecent people.


Trying to silence anyone in the investigation will not serve our nation well.  We need a thorough, definitive result.


What about median wage?...


Firefighters actually spend a very small percentage of time actually fighting fires. Their injuries are more from EMT work or more often, from out of shape FFs training infrequently,  playing basket ball, working out, etc. all of which is covered by workers compensation if it's done during a shift.


Just as Ad Hominem is not a synonym for insult, it is not a synonym for "attack". It is a specific type of attack, on someone one is debating with. MSW is not having a debate with Burke. Thus, his attack on Burke is not an Ad Hominem.


If you discover a peeping Tom in your backyard, you have a right to seize his spying gear and trenchcoat and turn him over to the Police, which is what the Chinese Navy did.  As I posted earlier, the Americans were likely spying on China.

"Although the ministry said the drone would be returned to the United States in a “proper way,” the statement stopped short of saying when or how the device, which Chinese and American analysts say was most likely used to gather intelligence about Chinese submarine activity in contested waters, would be returned, or if it would be handed back intact."

The Governor is working to get a project that 138,000 Alaska voters asked to be built.  Good for him.  If this project goes forward, Alaska has a chance at new revenue and affordable energy.

By contrast, what does Giessel offer?  She gave us the unconstitutional, bankrupting SB-21.  Does she offer any sort of vision for our future?  (Crickets)


ASD is far from being considered to have "very high costs" by those who are actually interested in being factual, which we know the Alaska Policy Forum, is not.

How often do you travel to rural communities? Or is it mostly central urban areas? Suburbs?

An alt right hack, Mr. Kouvalis does not represent any Canadian values that I would recognize or support, and I infer from this that Ms. Leitch does not either. I prefer O'Leary to her and Chong to either.


It is your choice. Like Paul Anka said "I did it my Way".


It wasn't an anti-diversity memo. He was basically outlining the differences between men and women. And contrary to the current socialist narrative, men and women ARE different. It's based on biology and science that no SJW can undo simply because it make them feel good.

More succinctly, they can't force others to accept their beliefs under duress.


Good article - now if the G&M could PLEASE dump the laughable "Prototypes" comics and focus on real science and technology, engineering, mega-projects ...


It's sad when one has to read about the actual identity (both personal and religious) of the shooters in foreign media.

Since only 2% of the "Fire" Departments calls are fires, maybe it's time for the private sector to start picking up some of the "non-fire" work.

 Private sector EMT's could probably could supplement or replace most of our public sector EMT's who have an average taxpayer cost of around $180,000/year for pay and benefits.


I would not trust mary bara and GM after the ignition switch scandal - if you buy GM, then you are taking a risk - GM f--cked up with the volt (only a handful out there) and the bolt is over rated - a woman CEO of a car company makes the company even more of a joke...I'll stick with japanese or korean - no german mercedes crap thank you very much or over priced BMW and definitely no volvo ugliness


PV Panels should be place on rooftops.
Covering precious land is a waste.


I have to admit I've had those thoughts, too. The real victims in all this are the kids. I wonder how they're going to cope.


I agree with everything in your post except for one thing ... just how do you propose schools hold students accountable for exercising their right to protest? I don't agree with DACA one bit but penalizing schools for it is not the answer.


Who wants to go to the White House with Lying-Don-The-Con there? It's a 'Dump' anyways right?


No trial, no proof. Just accuse someone of sexual assault because it is fashionable and the media will publish it as fact.

Good article.


Yes, my infant son got nailed on his capital gains taxes last year.


Names?How about Nike and George Soros?So what?How about the EPA releasing 3 million gallons of toxic sludge into the Colorado River, now that's a big deal. You try paint some of us as not caring a bit about the environment. I will state again, we want clean air and clean water but not based on fear mongering. If someone or a company screws up, then fine and/or jail them. So far nobody at the EPA has paid any consequences,ZERO.
WEAN killed the sewer proposal in Clinton, tried to kill the church parking lot in Langley because of blackberry bushes. You kill projects by sucking down resources of those who want to improve things. Why?Because you are no-growthers&NIMBY's.
I'll remind my neighbor how horrible we are for the environment as we clean up the toxic mess left on our properties and pay for it's safe disposal by paint huffers, meth tweakers, heroin users, squatters. We'll think how horrible we are as we clean up old tires and appliances, once again paying for their safe disposal.

The operating budget deficit is $1 BILLION +. The PENSION(s) DEFICIT is $11+ BILLION and increasing by the minute; and the OIL/GAS incentive credit(s) exceed $ 1 Billion ( a CONTRACTED Agreement- payable in increments) / So, the TOTAL DEFICIT exceeds ...$13+ BILLION. WHY do they ....NOT... TELL THE WHOLE FINANCIAL ISSUE. Furthermore, the OVERSIGHT , these ELECTED , OVER-PAID, in-the- pocket-of -BIG OIL and GAS, for life LEGISLATORS, whom . for the most part. will NOT OR  DISREGARD THE CITIZENS WHOM ELECTED THEM. They meet will "special interest groups" and the for profit corporations, profit&non-profit organizations; and the local and state government to "pacify" the unions.

FIRED! Our Minister of Defence is so immature that he feels the compulsion to completely invent stories about himself and is also dumb enough to think he'll get away with it? FIRED! Did I say that already? FIRED!


Five o`clock shadow,...AOGC said in 2002 or (2008?) there was "2.7 bcf per day surplus" to what was needed to keep Prudhoe "pressurized" that could be sold.  That started the effort.. but..
    But foot-dragger Exxon didn`t want to invest in Alaska gas and still doesn`t if you notice. It has too many other ongoing projects that compete with it`s undeveloped gas here.
   Sure they will be happy to sell "their" gas if somebody else does the investing and not them.
Thanks Governor for divorcing us from SB138 and SB21 and the extorting cartel. That alone will save Alaskans billions in taxes we would have lost.
   The Governor we elected over Parnell deserves the time he has asked for, during his administration, to try to get our energy infrastructure built on OUR terms. The same infrastructure that 138,000 Alaskans voted to build under ANGDA (but you remember Parnell and his oily legislature denied funding THAT agency created by the VOTERS!!). http://parnellshakedown.wordpress.com/

Until our new President actually does something concrete about the Alternative Right BS, he's no better than they are.  One can disavow all one wants, but it's doesn't stop the extremists.
When the extreme right are using Trumps name and presidency to legitimize their views, we have ourselves a serious problem.


Then why is it a problem when Trump wants diplomacy with Russia, huh? You guys get all bent out of shape when he wants good relations with Russia, but then you go and say that you're "Pretty sure she is smart enough to have a conversation with the Russians ... "

Hypocrisy much?


Catalonia was the last province to fall to Franco, with the Nationalist troops marching into Barcelona in March, 1939. The head of the Catalan government, Luis Company's, escaped into France. In 1940, he was captured by the Gestapo and turned over to the Franco police. He was executed shortly thereafter with no trial, but not before being sadistically tortured by the fascists. The best source on the Spanish Civil War is still Hugh Thomas' The Spanish Civil War. The progressive Left has never forgiven the disgraceful conduct of the RC Church and the Vatican during this episode, and they never will. These events linger on into the Spanish consciousness to this day, and old wounds are being opened.

"I can hate Islam and not hate Muslims, just as I can hate Christianity but not hate Christians."

Perhaps you're that one-in-a-billion person who, despite the fact that he hates a religious belief, nevertheless is utterly calm and rational in how he views those who profess the belief he hates. On the other hand, perhaps you're just a bigot who can't admit it.

When it comes to things that are intrinsic to a person's identity, hating that thing is no different than hating the person. If you hate homosexuality, pretending that you have no animosity towards gays is a transparent lie. It's the same with any characteristic that the Canadian constitution deems fundamental to a citizen's identity. If you hate it, you can't help but hate the person who embodies it.


The results of Cap and Trade will be seen most notably in better teacher contracts, benefits  and  pensions; Ontario civil service salaries, pensions and benefits; and  Hydro One salaries  pensions and benefits.  For the rest of us, less so.


Would we be surprised that the 'hot house' of neo-liberalism would offer praise for the infrastructure bank plan? The IMF lives on the deeply held faith of market fundamentalism in which public good and public interest are alien concepts.

Tax rates do not tell the whole story of tax bills in Maui.
For a vacation rental condo, (not an owner operated B&B), the tax rate is $9.37/$1000, for a property assessed at say $450,000 the tax bill comes to $4216.

For a Maui resident homeowner, the tax rate is $2.86/$1000 after a $200,000 homeowner exemption is applied. For the same property assessed at $450,000 this comes to a tax bill of $715. Approximately 6 times greater for the vacation rental condo.

For an owner operted B&B property, the tax rate is $4.56 and the homeowner living in the B&B loses his exmeption so on the same $450,000 value he pays $2052  instead of $715.


That was about getting "religion" out of the schools.  No Christian (or non-Christian, for that matter) has ever been "forced" to recite The Lord's Prayer.  Reasonable people don't like that this religious accommodation is going to be disrupting class-room time and instruction for the "non-believers," as well as taking away much- needed physical space where that class-room instruction takes place.  What are the "non-believers" supposed to do while half the class is away reciting prays?


The Sun Belt market will go nuts for it, making tooling around the retirement community to pick up the Viagra prescription in a $12,000 souped-up golf cart all the rage. That is, until those exposed front wheels have biffed one too many curbs, medians, parking-lot barriers and garage walls.


While this scenario could happen (God help our country) there may be pragmatic reasons why it does not. Old Benito was no millionaire with an on-going business empire and needy heirs with a brand to protect. DT above everything is about money and control. He has overseas investments. He wants to leave the next generation the business empire untarnished, and viable. I think that is the air brake on the wheel of potential despotism, along with non-Tea Party Republicans close to a nervous investment community which abhors uncertainty and too much conflict.


Canada has a pretty high gun ownership rate to begin with (including handguns), probably higher in places like NB than other places. Agree that tourists should not bring un-registered guns into Canada without the proper paperwork, but don't really see this as an "alarming trend" -- more so evidence of a slow news day and perhaps the preoccupation of the press with gun ownership in general. The fines being met out seem about right in relation to the "harm" caused.


A poster has dumped all over the 2015 roster, at least in comparison to the current 1.  Don't see much difference myself, except the current 1 is much younger.

Of course to get here, management kissed off 2 years without so much as a 2nd thought, and some member so the fan base, as usual, are fighting their battle for them on these pages.  Good for them.  They did that, 1 must remember, for the 2014/15 roster then, just as they are now.  Not much has changed, if anything.

Could this roster be way better down the road?  Of course, if everything goes right, which it won't.  But if you see it as going that way, while at the same time, hedging your bets--having your cake and eating it too, I guess--go for it.  The other courtiers who frequent these pages, they got your back.

Big things were expected from Your Leafs after the 2013 playoffs, and what came to pass?

Some may think that this time is different, maybe it is, coulda said that bout all the other times too, though.


except trump didn't announce it.


It was an EXCELLENT UN Speech ever!  EVER! You know it just cracks me up to see the "Unfavorable" numbers. Of course Libs will see this as an unfavorable,everything Trump dose or says is Unfavorable in their eyes. They forget why we are here today dealing w/NOKO and IRAN ,it's because of them the Dems & ,the Obama administration, who allowed the NOKO and Iran to scale up their nukes..... We were Bribed to pay them millions and Iran? Billions! And they took the Money and ran,with no intention of fulfilling their promise.

But you know ,irt this poll, It's all fake news. You can tell these unfavorables are lying  because,they cannot stomach or even watch President Trump for two minutes without their heads exploding. So I say; if you did not see  President Trumps UN speech,your vote here is irrelevant!

 I xx dare the libs to watch it in it's entirety(Youtube).There was nothing negative about,it was about putting America and all Sovereign countries all over the world first! IMUA! MAGA!


Wrong again. Put on your big boy pants and face the facts.

It's an attempt to muddy the waters. They don't have a sound position against contraception coverage. They try to say "no free pills" but that's not the issue, because they are not free. Then it get weird after that.


Tide is turning indeed. The more immigrants arrive to Canada, the less understanding stay why some  people demand special treatment.


Wow luke this is soo much longer than your normal blathering I was hoping for something to take hold of here....  but no such luck, all of it is as usual non-factual.
*  Hate for civil servants - check
* Believe Trump will fire civil servants - check (when this doesn't happen feel free to admit it).
* luke does not believe there is such a thing as income inequality (but then why do you hate civil servants?  In other words luke is incapable of seeing his own hypocrisy)  - check
* Trump will only become more popular -perhaps a demi-god - check
*Liberal taxes and regulations (ignoring libs have decreased taxes) - check
* Trump will create MILLIONS of jobs - check
C'mon young man give us something to work with......


Safe, but odd decision to not allow dope smoking in the casinos. They'll normally allow anything that will degrade your ability to think correctly. I would think that after a couple of cocktails and J's most people would be making ridiculous bets. Another possible good thing for the casinos and dope smoking is the possible "contact high" that those who are not partaking may experience. Anything that gets people to throw their money away is a plus for a casino.

If you are so fond of ADN and its liberal bias and Sienfeld type articles ( lots of words but little news ) I recommend that you carefully read every word on the next several editions.

Any chance he'll see that federal money needs to be spent on this instead of a silly wall?  Recovery is estimated to cost $40 billion, and the federal flood-insurance program is bankrupt, pending Congress' decision whether to fund it or not, which may not happen if Trump's budget is adopted.


The problem is that it is dramatically lower prevalence in most workplaces, and dramatically high incidence and severity in militaristic workplaces (armed forced, police, firefighters).
