Good point on coal jobs.  They are unlikely to come back.  My reference point are the words of Sen Mitch McConnell (R - KY), “Whether that immediately brings business back is hard to tell because it’s a private sector activity.”  http://www.kentucky.com/news/politics-government/article114197923.html

If you are really interested in bringing back the coal jobs, the most straightforward solution is to ban all fracking immediately.  This will drive up the price of natural gas and could make coal economically feasible.


People, instead of arguing and bashing each other, how about bashing MAZIE, HIRONO and SCHATZ ! ..... during B.O.'s reign CONGRESS opposed enacting ANY LAW that even resembled DACA. B.O. himself spoke out AGAINST illegal immigration ! AGAINST bypassing the rules of CONGRESS to decide whether or not the UNITED SATES would allow the illegal immigrants a free pass through enacting a LAW. B.O. himself stated that it was CONGRESS' job to act on it. So what dos he do? you already know, TRUMP's move has put he ball into CONGRESS's court, so to speak, and it's THEIR job (mazie, hirono, schatz! ) to get your (donkeys) together and make a DECISION ! DO SOMETHING instead of grandstanding !


It wasn't a big secret where Mike worked.  He worked there under his real name.  His articles weren't about DOC in the past, so why should his employment matter?  When he finally addressed corrections, he stated his affiliation.


Problem is, "carbon pricing" is mostly being done at the provincial level, except in Sask.  The directive to implement it is coming from above, but removing that imperative will not make the provinces immediately revoke it.

In fact, a lot of provinces were talking about implementing a carbon tax (in the case of BC, did implement one) while Harper was still PM.


The beauty of keeping your trees correctly maintained and pruned periodically, is that when an ice storm does occur, there is much less damage.  I've seen some trees that have been neglected, resulting in the breaking huge and major branches due to the excess weight of the ice on much smaller branches that should have been pruned perhaps years ago.


Will any of the new Chin sponsored refugees from Somalia, Iran, Syria, etc. be invited to the special session? I think they should give it a good traditional "Aloha Akbar" blessing to ensure the project is a success! LOL

Ah, the useless, do-nothing Legislative Majority wants to tighten its grip on Alaskan's throats.


What a childish statement - as if the author "hates all Albertans".  And you think these people "rightfully" want the Premier locked up - for the crime of doing something legal that they politically disagree with? Wow, maybe you would be more comfortable living in Trump's America.  Or Putin's Russia.


Thanks for the correction.  So he's a 1-team man and not a 2-team or 3-team man.  BTW I noticed he's thrown the ball more times (1,033 attempts) and has the 2nd lowest percentage (58.0%) of passes completed which I hope he improves on.  If his passing completed percentage were higher, he might be higher on the all-time career list.  But I know he will go higher and maybe even No. 1.


Why don't you quit with the affectation? "Within Hillary" 🙄


I'm reminded of that landmark paper: _The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity_ by Carlo M. Cipolla, Former Professor of Economics at University UC Berkeley.

-First Law: Always and inevitably everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.
-Second Law: The probability that a certain person be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.
-Third (and Golden) Law: A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.
-Fourth Law: Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular non-stupid people constantly forget that at -all times and places and under any circumstances to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.
-Fifth Law: A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.
-Corollary to the 5th Law: A stupid person is more dangerous than a bandit.

it's about time ol' lucifer got some recognition.  and at a very prestigious forum, no less.


Part #1:  The way the city manages the tax money it collects is really quite maddening.  First, remember past tax increase initiatives.

The city INCOME tax initiative several years ago was suppositively for the schools.  It was defeated in a landslide.
The city service FEE measure, suppositively for services (pools, libraries, Choots, etc.)  was also defeated in a landslide.  This was after the city threatened deep service cuts if it didn't pass.  The threatened cuts never happened.

Then, after the latest shellacking at the ballot box, the city held several budget meetings, and swore up-and-down that the city would find a way to fund all the services.  This never happened.

The library hours were cut, park maintenance was deferred, and some of the fulltime park employees were moved to the storm water fee, which was increased.  These cuts were made because the city manager felt depleting the general fund, and relabeling these funds as "one time" dollars for the city hall...


Good info, thanks.  Kaiser needs to step aside.

Can it be willed?


"The news portion of the site is written by a group of editors who collectively write under the pseudonym"Tyler Durden" (a character from the novel and film Fight Club)...
Zero Hedge's content has been classified as anti-establishment, and economically pessimistic,[3] and has been criticized for presenting extreme and sometimes pro-Russian views.[1][4]...Economist and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman describes Zero Hedge as a scaremongering outlet that promotes fears of hyperinflation and an "obviously ridiculous" form of "monetary permahawkery."[17] Dr. Craig Pirrong, professor at the Bauer College of Business writes that "I have frequently written that Zero Hedge has the MO of a Soviet agitprop operation, that it reliably peddles Russian propaganda: my first post on this, almost exactly three years ago, noted the parallels between Zero Hedge and Russia Today."

Seems very credible.


Hopefully the US will tell Canada to take its "Right to work" abolition demands and inject them solidly up their socialist butts. What this has to do with trade is beyond imagination. It is a political message sent by the lefties. IMHO The US should respond with demands that Canada must have Universal "Right to work"  in order for it to consider Canada a trading partner under the deal. Canada would be a better place to live with a greater ability to support its indulgent social agenda if the Unions did not have such an unfair stranglehold on our society.


If it was Colorado.........


Soon we won't have to even leave the house.


How many people complaining here are in fact making minimum wage?


Landlords price rent according to what the market will bear, not according to how much the taxes are on a piece of property.


Better check your facts the ratings for Sunday night were 10 points lower than last week. The NFL is making a big mistake by pissing off the paying customers! Money talks bullsh*t walks.


George, your mid east policies and needless wars are the legacy of your failed presidency. You need to just play golf and shut up.


Looks like you, and Marc are saying is correct.  Home Capital is DOA.


Businesses need to be able to run on their own or not BE in business.


He's sitting pretty and you're writing petty. G&M is a joke.


Just a mystery why there has been such over the top positive press for Ambrose. She had a number of cabinet posts, from Environment through Status of Women, Health and on to Interim Opposition Leader. She underwhelmed in all, never seemed to know what many were about, did Harper's bidding (in closing Women's advocate offices without any reason for e.g.) and even abused her position to try and get doctors to speak out against marijuana to try and hurt Trudeau.
Petty, partisan and smug- she was a Harperite through and through.

As for the "train judges" Just Act - well, she and Kenney were responsible to vet judges and let "knees together" Camp reach federal level.  And Camp as the judge who "inspired" the law also referred to the complainant as the accused - he needed far more training that "only" on sexual assault law.


Northern industrialists needed a justifiable system that could still be seen as congruent with American ideals but could still allow cheap or next to free labor. Slavery was an embarrassment and the trade of goods being manufactured in the North would run into problems if it was being done within a slave system of which the rest of the world correctly had already banned and saw as the savage system that it was. Capitalist liberalism is self serving - "tolerance" of immigrants and newly freed slaves as migrants, for example, provided a source of cheap exploitable labor. There were two sacrifices needed to save capitalism - Republican abolition and later the Keynesian Democratic New Deal. Both worked to the political benefit of each of the two parties in the end by maintaining economic capitalism with the veneer of political democracy...


Essentially the issue is one of morality and philosophy.... Most of the ANC Leadership have a moral philosophy akin to Attila the Hun..... rape and pillage the country for personal gain!


Left or right , all the wealthy elite who own the banks, insurance companies , oil companies , mining companies , real estate and construction , drug companies , food production and distribution , media , etc., etc., these are the super rich who financially support both political parties and always have , and expect tax breaks in return . To go against them is like biting the hand that feeds you . Good luck Prime Minister , be you Tory or Liberal . But go after that money that belongs to all Canadians , the people are behind you.


Is this giving up or reneging?


The city was trying to pressure Mansato to sell to a developer. People are to easy to fool.


22,000 people in Alberta instantly lost their welfare cheques in 1993  - announced by the Premier Klein for political reasons -  whom btw admitted to being a drunk after he left office... and sent them to BC because of political hate for NPD parties and no thought about the people living in BC or the people of his own province. He kicked out anyone that would not vote for him. It was political.

that also does not include the ones sent from Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

that fact you deny it, while the evidence is clear, in records and in the DTES themselves (if they didn't die from overdose yet) is the actual problem. You have to recognize the problem to solve it.


Maybe they were walking briskly and he was out of breath. Noticing she wasn't, he makes the comment, "You're in such good shape." Could be a 100 different reasons.  Give it a rest!!!😀


It's the reasoning behind AL's eight chapter that is the issue. Apply these premises more broadly and there is no authoritative moral doctrine that one to strive in one's life, with grace, to follow, or discipline concerning the sacraments. One can accept the  position that there is a difference between objective sin and personal culpability and also that the annulment process will make errors. However, AL goes way, way beyond this.


Hillary is not even close as mis-guided as the media bosses and the Democratic leadership. It is difficult to understand how someone so misguided can continue to reap the unearned spoils accumulated during her tenure as SOS. Consider the mentality and intellect of the millions of minions that continue to love and support her.


Nice try Megan. Gardner deserves everything he got at this meeting. He is a Trump supporter and a coward who is working to gut health care for millions of people. He is a party first ideologue who rarely supports his constituents, unless those constituents have deep pockets and write BIG checks to Cory.


Ann Wright, If you were BLACK & A CRIMINAL then Obama would likely stop and give you hugs and praise! He has failed his duty from the beginning and no wonder, who in their right mind would believe 'a community organizer' that never had a real job could con his way into our highest office. His major accomplishment was to DIVIDE our country and set race relations back DECADES! iF Obama's presidency has proven anything, it's that ELECTING A PRESIDENT BASED ON GENDER OR COLOR is NOT the right way to get the job done..


Democrats are organized crime.  There is no difference in stealing and voting for a fellow Democrat to steal for you en masse.


CUT. THE. BUDGET.


RBC and BMO are issuing mortgage backed securities to offset their risk.

The environmental rhetoric is based on a myth.


I'm wondering if you even read Soh's article.


Housecats have been with us as domesticated animals for a long time, but "domesticated" implies that humans must care for them. This includes regular visits to the vet and protection from cruelty, environmental mayhem, and the pain of disease. None of that is possible under TNR. A feral cat's life expectancy is a fraction of that of a cat sheltered and cared for in a home. Why?

TNR does nothing more than replace responsible pet stewardship with the law of the jungle. Some people want to be around cats but cannot muster the courage to end a cat's suffering, so they let Mother Nature take care of it--out of sight and out of mind. We don't do this to stray dogs, so why do these people think it's acceptable to do it to cats? TNR is animal cruelty painted over with a self-satisfied smiley face.

MOA Animal Control offers traps that can be used to capture feral cats. Show kindness to such cats by getting them to a shelter where they have a chance of adoption into a caring home.


Agreed Paul. Good job on this piece.


I empathize with your experience. As a male, can I explain from my (I certainly can't speak for any other male) perspective? We were faced with a most difficult choice, complete radical hysterectomy or not? Her Mother had recently died of uterine cancer and her older sister has endometrial cancer. Lynch syndrome was suspected but ironically, the Ontario Government would not approve testing to confirm. I fully understood the probable impact on our sex life but weighed against a possible/probable cancer diagnosis in the near future, for me, the decision was easy. Sex vs death. I supported her decision without reservation, whatever she decided. Post surgery, our sex life is dormant and I have no regrets. We will grow old together and love and laugh together, that is far more important to me.

Thank you so much for representing the people of this state.


Addendum to above: If it is determined that a professional facilitator should explore the "health" of the communication at Page as regards this issue...the bullying "ring leader(s)" would highly likely be identifiable - if "bullying" has in fact been taking place. Anyone who has worked within a group where this kind of toxic aggressive or passive-aggressive behavior is inflicted on others knows the frustration and paranoia it brings to the workplace. Can toxic folk be shut down from within, very hard to do as they quietly create a network of supporters which makes it harder to trust - anyone. Work is challenging enough without a toxic environment to contend with.


Chrystia Freeland is no longer chair of Cabinet Committee on Canada-US Relations. New chair is Marc Garneau and Ralph Goodale is vice chair and she is a member.. Her mandate letter is almost identical to that of Stephan Dion and Francois-Philippe Champagne's mandate letter is virtually identical to that of his predecessor. They will be part of a stronger team and I wish them all the best.


This bill is bad. How about by starting out with which homeless citizens are really in dire need of help, weed out those who are just wanting to live that way, find where their immediate family are and ask if there could be a way they could help the family member to get back on their feet. this homeless issue needs to stop and people need to held accountable for their actions not cradled. that area in Waianae needs to be removed and cleared out. Mayor and Governor your jobs are on the line, take action and please stop throwing money at this with no clear action plan, please stop. Aloha.

The Liberals spent double the amount in relocation kick backs to Gerald Butts...I think we'd all prefer to stop wasting money chasing down a $90K payment...


Amazing.  You and 7 others here actually believe that 9/11 and the Boston bombing was purely the fault of Donald Trump, because these terrorists were "radicalized" by something he and his advisors did to them.

That might be the most astounding comment in the history of NCR.


Well, you got what you voted for.


You have no foundation on which to make such a statement other than your own prejudice.


Another, in a long line of,  messes Anchorage taxpayers are on the hook for...because of this bloated inbred government.

Remember taxpayer millions Begich paid out to Patricia Godfrey...because Glen Godfrey couldn't keep his zipper closed?  Resulted in his psycho concubine (Karen Brand) who was vice president of the Alaska State Chamber of Commerce and a former staff person with the state Legislature, deciding to blast them both with a .44mag.  Paid out unchallenged  "settlement" because "first responders" couldn't find the former Alaska Commissioner of Public Safety - Godfrey's  house.  Another load of BS and tax money fritted away on public misdeeds.


Off topic but I felt this is an interesting line from the G&Ms Civil Comments FAQs:
"We’re strong believers in freedom of speech and freedom of the press, but"...

As a rule of thumb, any time you see a "but"  after a statement of principle it means the preceding statement is a lie. Ie
"I am not a racist, but...."
I believe in helping the poor, but...
I believe in gender equality, but ...
So if somebody says "I believe in free speech , but...

You get the idea.

Please mark all comments, even the rude ones you don't like, as civil, or the G@M censors will win.


OK, how was he a failure, and more to the point, how is Trump succeeding?  Don't bother to use the SCOTUS seat, McConnell owns that, not Trump.


I live in Nathan Cullen's riding and attended one of the meetings.
It was clear that Nathan Cullen's preference was for some form of proportional representation which would give the NDP greater influence.
My personal preference would be to bring in Initiative and Referendum and then let the proponents of reform sell their proposals to be decided on by a yes or no referendum.


Uh no, the government decided, and I hope this is a good lesson why separation of healthcare and state should be the law.


A firing squad is generally the prescribed treatment for high treason.

"or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort." <--What about this, since you brought it up and posted it.

Nice to see how the right has hanged their hat on calling Americans they disagree with ill with "Trump Derangement Syndrome".  Getting a bit old about as fast as Trump supporters are getting worried.

Assuming he is, in fact, guilty of helping the Russian Oligarchs launder money, colluding with Russia to get elected, etc. would you then decide to throw your support behind somebody else and give up on him or will you go down with the proverbial ship?


Someone let the curmudgeons out their cages! I think it's great that the United States Army does high-altitude training on Denali! It is a rare opportunity for those soldiers and it brings positive press to the Army, Alaska, NPS, and Denali. It makes me happy to see my tax dollars being spent exactly like this!


Im thinking this is not covered in Freedom of speech,   Im glad I don't have to clean up after that.

Schools are the last place where superstition should be encouraged. Religion is just superstition dressed up for going to Temple. Belief in supernatural beings and powers is superstition, plain and simple.


Funny, comments open on this terrorist attack but the 2 recent Islam ones were closed. Why is that globe?


Unfortunately the best candidate is not running for the CPC leadership - interim leader Rona Ambrose.

She has the experience in Parliament - with past Cabinet posts as Minister of Health, vice-chair of the Treasury Board cabinet committee, Minister of the Environment, Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, Minister of Western Economic Diversification, President of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada, Minister of Labour, Minister of Public Works and Government Services Canada, and Minister for Status of Women.

No other candidate even comes close to that record of achievement.  And her feminism credentials far surpass those of Justin Trudeau.   Ambrose's community service included involvement with organizations working to end violence against women; including the Status of Women Action Group, the Victoria Sexual Assault and Sexual Abuse Crisis Centre, and the Edmonton Women’s Shelter.

She is a libertarian and economic conservative - not tax and spend.


Nap, that is just fundamentally incorrect. what we do know is that the state government currently spends upwards of $13000/person, yet the national average for state spending is about $5400/person. their budget is for what, about 9 billion? they only have 5 and want the other 4 and intend to come after it through taxation before considering the cuts necessary to remain solvent. until the state can reduce their spending to where it is more in line with the national average, don't come ask me to reduce my standard of living.


This is so wonderful! A movie premier, a newspaper article, and a brief visit with your mom! Doesn't get much better than that


You have no idea? She used the N-word to publicly refer to a black woman who complained about racial abuse at the school board .  She also  verbally attacked an oriental trustee on the board for not having English as her mother tongue. But this is all manna from heaven for racists who like to post in the Globe and Mail. The racists will never win because the majority of Canadians will make sure that never happens.


Yes, Pope Francis is the strawberries on the last two pope's cake.

It is OK.  I won't bother posting.


You and your nations reps need to drop the cognitive dissonance. The evidence is staring you in the face. The vast bulk of terrorists in the ME are sunni not shia.  Iran is the sane player. Thats why the rest of the planet are swinging in behind it and not the Saudi /Israeli axis. The next year or two and probably sooner will be a steady humiliation for your lot as you realise no one gives a damn anymore for Washingtons decrees.


The alt left, neo-liberal hate is at work. If you perform you may get shot. Not much of a choice. California has legalized child prostitution. Hollywood is well known for its cover up of pedophilia. Meryl Streep giving a standing ovation to a pedophile. The US president is better to distance himself from celebrities.


While people may characterize these non-verbal cues as trivial the fact is that as the President of the United States your actions (verbal and non-verbal) are constantly being looked at, dissected and evaluated.  Trump has always been a me first person and it is directly reflected in the way he speaks, carries himself and treats others.


I dont see a problem... this can be seen as a business investment for DHHL - an endowment for example. To provide funding for 1/2 blood homes.

Hawaiians today mostly prefer to work in air conditioned offices. Few want to farm or ranch the homestead land. Why try to do that? I think small residential villages would make more sense.


The question I always had, " Why is a non-elected employee making policy and spending decisions that are the responsibility of elected trustees ?" Hopefully an audit will bring out the facts on how the Trust is run.


The state needs to quit pussy-footing around and shut the company down until they remove the debris from the water.


Once Ambrose started speaking for herself and not Harper, I was actually impressed (and figured a party under her might have a shot at beating Trudeau).

But now we have a cover band of Harper's greatest hits, where everybody in the band outsings the lead singer (okay, terrible metaphor - but Scheer seems to be making [or just letting] everybody else do his dirty work - it's likely coordinated, but it sure doesn't appear that way).

And the Conservatives have brought up the will of the people in Charter issues before (remember when gay marriage wasn't legal nationwide and they wore "It's the stupid Charter" buttons to counter Liberals'  buttons that said "It's the Charter, stupid")? Rights shouldn't be a popularity contest.

The trouble is that Liberals (and the media) haven't done a good job of explaining the background -under the law, it doesn't matter what he did or didn't do before he got to Guantanamo, it mattered what we did after that - and the Supreme Court has spoken on this


Couldn't agree more. Fear mongering and outright lying to a knee jerk public. That's what got us the moron in the White House, whose behavior,by the way, is probably the real source of the feelings of fear and stress that is stupidly being projected onto to SB91.  Get rid of Trump and put someone competent and thoughtful in his place and I guarantee those chaotic feelings of helplessness and anger will substantially subside.


Satire ?

You really don't understand the term "white supremacist"? Or are you just being coy and intellectually dishonest, which is the typical M.O. for right wing commenters?

Wake up 'sheeple'...we are being sold out to Communist China by BOTH major political parties. This started in earnest under the muffin man's ten year reign of ineptitude in the lost decade. His legacy....lots of nice panda boy photo-ops. The shiny pony and little potato crowd are finishing the job on this blatant foreign invasion of drugs,money laundering,real estate 'rigging' and destroying our democratic way of life.  Why no reporting, from the mainstream media in Canada, on China's connection to all the current drug overdoses sweeping the country?


Not to take away from your comments at all, but you can also run into trouble on a day hike on a safe trail, if you're not careful.  And sometimes even when you are both careful and knowledgeable.  Some of the best days of my life have been those spent hiking in the mountains.  How tragic for the family and all concerned.


Stop posting then and get to work and earn some money


I liked what's his name from CNN, and whats her name..Rachel something.

Much better take than MSW.


Give it a rest, dufus. She was 100% cleared after over 10 investigations.


Really??? I've never seen the value of 'naming rights'. Seeing some brand on some public building has never -- I repeat, NEVER -- motivated me to go out and buy whatever that company was selling. I guess if we want to start calling the Ellie Caulkins Opera House "The MacDonalds Ellie", and get a few million more on top of the millions that Ellie put in, this town will just go and do that.

Kind of reminds me when I lived in Milwaukee and they opened the "War Memorial Performing Arts Center" and there was no observance anywhere in the building of wars or soldiers who died in those wars, but there were chairs, bricks, plaques and all manner of places that commemorated the rich folks who ponied up to build the place.

Oh well, if it keeps these places open . . .


Well, she's gotta give Bill something to do to keep him out of the way of her presidency.


Crossing the border is against the law.


So this article, liberally slanted as all of them are here, was under the “Politics” section.  So what I want to know is if the editors plan to include in their Politics any story about the collusion between the Clinton campaign, the DNC, and the Russians?  All this nonsense in the “Trump dossier” was not only false, but bought and paid for by the Clinton campaign and the DNC.  So where is your unbridled fairness NCR staff?  You talk about social justice all the time, so why not do your part to actually set the record straight, especially since you’ve had a hand in disseminating all those feathers in the wind.  Admit it; the Trump dossier was a complete fabrication, brought about via collusion, and if jail and impeachment were a good idea for team Trump had any of that nonsense been true, then why shouldn’t team Clinton face the same Justice?  Or is this just going to be another victim of the leftist double standard?


We have already seen enough with the Trudeau government. Let's start with the upcoming by-elections and get them out.


What do the formal Stats Can Chief have in common with this gentleman?
Partisan appointments to replace valuable Civil Servants.


Gen. Flynn "retroactively" registered as an agent of a foreign country , is like a shoplifter getting caught outside the store, but tells security that he now wants to pay for what he took. Anyway he was in total violation his restriction to become an agent of any foreign country, because of his previous security position. At least he was fair, he took money from both sides.


I was enthusiastic about this car's release, I really was. It looked great when I saw one in a parking lot overseas. But I can't get the autonomous braking feature, nor the related safety features, in a manual transmission model in the top trim. Those features really should be standard equipment in 2017.  Regrettably, the curious way Hyundai has defined the option packages, is pushing me towards the class benchmark GTI or Golf R.


C'mon brother...You know that cops and Government don't condone crime of any kind.

"Seattle where the local government officials promote the riots either directly, or by not enforcing the existing laws."

They do not promote and do enforce. Who or what are you referencing?


Fair point, but seeing as the sky may be falling (with nukes), some of us simply seek solace in the humour of a domestic partisan attack first thing in the morning.


Maybe she got covered in Honolulu Civil Beat because she represents Hawaii. Not sure how she is stealing the limelight.


The cause of gender dysphoria is psychological or psychiatric in origin and not physiological. One isn't "assigned" a sex at birth. Apart from exceptionally rare medical conditions, we are born male or female regardless of what we might "feel" about this as we grow older.

One's sex - male or female - is a natural fact of life, not a social construction or matter of personal choice.
There is a Catholic teaching on this. Briefly stated:

•each of us is made in God’s image as man or woman;
•gender identity is determined at conception, genetically, anatomically and chromosomally;
•a person must accept that objective identity.

Catholic teaching is clear on the need to accept the objective truth of the reality of our bodies in this condition, and therapy should have that aim as its goal.


The problem posters such as yourself face is that the average Canadian over the age of 45 has direct experience with the health care system, either personally or through the experience of our dear parents.  We take our direct experience and compare it to statements such as yours and they simply do not line up - as demonstrated by openwater above.

It is true, however, that results vary from Province to Province.  Recent Ipsos polling shows Ontario as the most improved healthcare system over past five years for ease of access and patient experience, followed by the Prairies (Manitoba/Saskatchewan) not far behind, with Alberta and Quebec tied in the middle, Atlantic Canada much further back and British Columbia well back at the bottom.  Yet. BC is getting good marks from openwater.

Canada can and should improve its healthcare system and I agree with the prescription recommended in this editorial for an expansion.


Canada's growth is due to excessive consumer spending due to low interest rates. Any economist will tell you that this is not good. Consumer debt is at record levels and any slight increase in the interest rate will bring down the economy like a sack of rocks. The rest of the economy not dependent on consumer debt is due to the US.


Gordon I agree with you in that it doesn't matter what the reason behind GE's advertising it a good thing to see a spotlight on women who have made great impacts in/on the sciences. Too often they were regulated to hidden tasks while the men took credit. There are many young women and men who need to see that women have long been an asset in science. As for the push for the STEM academys, push for everyone to enter the STEM fields, if everyone does it then the market will be flooded with engineers, etc. I encourage all young men and women find a passion you are interested in that can earn you a living and provide for you and your family. Doing a job you hate to make a living for long periods of time because you are stuck there is a horrible life.


John Glen, at 77, when he returned to NASA for another flight to the moon.  Can't keep good men down.


Not quite...our work is in the world, but that work should ALWAYS have a supernatural intention.

Our job is to "give back" to the world, it's original supernatural intention which is to bring every soul closer to God now and in the hereafter.

We don't simply have hands and feets to do mere temporal work.

Changing diapers can have salvific effects if we learn how.

"These Oilbertan creeps all voted Conservative, we owe them nothing"

Since then, you, Oilbertan creeps, burnt your own Province down too.

What a bunch of redneck Dumba$$ deniers, you are !


Looks like the problem is pretty evident.  We have two parties that are in bed with corporations who are in it to make money not serve people.  I will be voting for the party that breaks with corporations and starts supporting labor.  Corporations have two parties against single payer now.


Spence was born in England and raised/schooled here.  So the argument wouldn't apply in this case.

Moreover, the syllabi of the various universities have long spelled out what are considered scholastic offenses.


"The only ones with big comments are ones that give an opportunity to slag Obama or Trudeau."

Oh? Finding it tough to find anti-Trump comments, eh? Come on - REALLY?


Yep.  Excellent article.  Activists, in general, paint themselves as wanting to make the world a "better place".  In reality, as Charlotte points out in this case specifically, it's much more about making the world conform to what they want (which does not necessarily make the world a better place) and that will never, ever stop.


m:  Yes I can and quite easily.  There is no other tax that you can groom as easily as a sales taxes.  You can exempt essentials, you can control the amount you pay by judicious spending.  What's not to like about it except that everyone has to pay unlike an income tax where only some (estimated to be less than 50%) have to pay.  A sales tax doesn't lend itself so easily to your favored redistribution of wealth ploy but it is by far the fairest and even you should understand that.


Is there not a reduction in the monthly payment to the CPP recipient if they choose to have an amount allocated to a survivor?  That would be the premium paid by the recipient

Some uninformed folks like Leonard Pitts want guns taken away from honest gun owners, while on an even wilder side, people like President O bama desire to release felons from prison just because he can.  Go figure?


That is all you have is a spelling correction ? and a "Might" ? Hardly enough to lose sleep over.


The leadership of America does not reflect the majority populace. The right wing has used gerrymandering and other political tactics  to keep themselves in elected office, and the spineless Liberals do nothing but sing Kumbaya and hold hands.

As a result of gerrymandering, 70% of elected officials in the US are Republicans, and have  been for three decades now.


Both Kirill and Putin must be quite pleased with themselves.


This is an interesting article also one sided as usual. Stop thinking about yourselves and being so selfish and arrogant for once . Mauna Kea does not belong to you. I don't know why astronomers, the University of Hawaii and TMT supporters keep on believing that Mauna Kea belongs to them. The University of Hawaii is leasing Mauna Kea from the state and has the audacity to think they can sublease it to TMT. So with that being said, way can't TMT build the telescope in Japan, India, China, the Canary Islands or any other place in the world just not on Mauna Kea.


While Seavey exhibits very little credibility, and a typical Armstrong denial/picking on me mentality, how can the ITC disqualify a musher for an iPod, and not a musher for doping his dogs?
Seriously, intent must be proven first? Is the ITC the only one one the planet that hasn’t figured out the intent for cheating in a sporting event?
Well, one thing is certain, and we know why the ITC is in denial. This little good old boy club ranks right up there with Sheffields impeachment proceedings, the LIO building, and VECO’s purchase of our legislature and Ted Stevens.
The ITC and Seavey have caused the Iditarod serious and irreparable harm.


HAHAHAHAHAHAAH ur funny


Is there ever anything other tha turmoil, divisiveness, chaos, and incompetence from Trump?

The man even managed to bankrupt his own casino, for Pete's sake! How do you bankrupt a casino!? They practically have a license to print money!

He's a pathetic, vile embarrassment.


"Papal diplomacy in Syria has helped Russia and Assad...In September 2013 [Pope Francis] led the moral charge against a proposed Western military intervention in Syria following charges that Bashar al-Assad had deployed chemical weapons against opposition-controlled areas around Damascus. Francis launched an all-out diplomatic push against widening the conflict, and was later credited by Russian President Vladimir Putin with being decisive in halting the momentum with the G8 towards supporting the initiative." (cruxnow.com)


Excellent.  Trump pardons a law enforcement officer while BO pardoned thugs and criminals.


Really glad to see all of the Hillary lovers are out today,  I would much rather vote for an business person who can create jobs, one thing the article didn't mention is the thousands of people who made a lot of money off Trump's entrepreneur's acumen,  bankruptcy's laws are created for people who make mistakes or their timing is off or misjudgements in business,  most of the time who gets burned is greedy people looking for a big payoff,  not the small investors,  the fact remains he is still standing and still creating jobs and moving forward,  now Hillary makes bad judgements with people's lives and government money and continues to lie, cheat, steal and she is still standing,  so who do you vote for,  that is the question.


IRT AirSumo, Mitt Romney?  You jest.  What part of ACA was Mitt Romney's?  And, why there were not one vote from a Republican in the House and Senate if Mitt Romney had a part of ACA.  No make sense.  On State control, Hawaii is one of the best States for patients with pre-existing conditions, such as you have.  The State of Hawaii is controlled by the Democrats and they will fight to the death to protect supporters as you and others with catastrophic ailments.  I believe it's a huge advantage for Hawaii citizens in your kind of situation to have the State control your healthcare, as was prior to ACA.


Meanwhile the roads are crumbling infrastructure is falling apart. This city and state has the most incompetent donkeys I've ever seen in my life good grief


Some are not even that, "representatives" of We the People.


I pray to the heavens that this twisted co-opted turn of the republican party ends in the utter destruction of the insurgents. The Alaska I fell in love with as a lad more resembles an asylum each and every passing day.

Trespassing is not free speech.  It's trespassing.


Keonimay, I believe your comment about our soldiers being sent into Laos, Cambodia and China is fiction stranger than fact.  There is no question about the U.S. bombing the hell out of supply routes in Laos and Cambodia and there was a South Vietnamese incursion into Cambodia, but there were no ground operations involving U.S. troops.  If you know otherwise, please cite your source.


Yeah, he just forgot you can see Mauna Kea from just about anywhere on the Big Island.

I grant you that Trump spent less domestically than Clinton yet won.  I did not support either of them. That said, how much in dollars was the Wikileaks revelation effort worth to the Trump campaign and who paid for that effort let alone orchestrated it?

I believe you can have all the  political influence you can afford. If not then why "K Street"  in Washington D.C. and why does Juneau fill with lobbyists?  What do you suppose motivated those legislators (other than money)  who went to prison after dealing with Bill Allen and why did he invite only those who had influence over the legislative process as committee chairs allowed by the current caucus system to veto legislation by simply refusing to hold hearings?  I think we agree that the current paradigm has failed the people of Alaska. I simply am not going to support the assumption that those who created this disaster have an inkling of how to solve the problem.


according to an officer in Mesquite they did not know the man and he hadn't even had a driving infraction.


Nope, it's the nurture versus nature debate and the last time I checked scientists said the effect was was 50-50.


Then how about this argument? Comcast (and other big companies) add this tax directly to your bill. It can be found on your invoice under the line item "Oregon tax pyramiding". As Tapogna explained at the debate it will be more than 2.5%.


Hopefully he won’t get paid for the missed workday and will be disciplined for being insubordinate just like other Canadian employees... Did he forget that he was hired by the taxpayers to work for the taxpayers?

So UH doesn't have enough players to write about? With start of the season less than a month away, is it too much to ask that UH football be highlighted?


Everything you've ever read from a liberal poster here at the G&M during HArpers tenure, was never anything more then a hyper-partisan temper tantrum that had ZERO to do with Canada or Canadians, just power aspirations for liberals and liberalism.

That's why they now hide out in articles about Trump, Scheer or Levant.  Such brave warriors these left wing posters are.


Actually some nurses can prescribe. As well as pharmacists (in certain provinces), podiatrists and naturopaths.


Wow!  Not a very smart move by the doctor.  Incredible that he moved so much $ through Mexico and Central America without being robbed.  Repatriating the money was a dumb move.  He should have moved to Costa Rica.

"But Republicans on Wednesday voted to suspend the rule that had required at least one Democrat to be present for business to be conducted."

That's funny...............

I really love our so called "democracies". A governing party can at anytime suspend rules with a stroke of a pen, and THAT somehow is all right in our democratic system(s)

Kind of makes you wonder why the Americans spent decades "exporting" democracy when they can't get it right at home.

This chief EXCHANGED suggestive texts with a female police officer from another detachment who was also married at the same time to an officer who worked for this Chief in Victoria.

The female police officer had NO discipline of any kind.
This Chief is being bullied into an early retirement.

Something more to this whole situation...


joe miller is like "the guy who wasn't invited" but showed up anyways.  smell what i'm cookin'?  that one dude who everybody kind of tolerated, but never wanted to be associated with because he was a major league tool.  the kind of guy who was probably a booger eater, and would just assume sniffle constantly rather than blow his nose.  he constantly needed a ride to places, and would never offer any gas money.  he'd pinch your bag, drink your beer, and try to makeout with your sister.  and then lie about everything.


I've heard of fake news but now you are supplying fake history!

China 1900 - Boxer Rebellion
For two months the Boxers occupied the capital and besieged the foreign legation district, where the foreign community and a large group of Chinese Christians barricaded themselves within the legations. The foreigners managed to resist repeated Boxer attacks until a multinational force finally fought its way in from the coast and reached Beijing, lifting the siege. U.S. marines played a key role in defending the legations during the siege and also joined the multinational force that crushed the Boxers.
That's your "invasion"???

 Korean War
US and/or the UN force fighting the N. Koreans and the Chinese, who "attacked them" to back the N. Koreans, but 'never' crossed into China.
(Maybe your "epic bloody battle along the border" was a video game you once played.)

Vietnam.
US was invited into Vietnam.


Hard to afford because Alaskas reps including Lisa chose to not embrace the ACA. This ultimately kept subsidies from helping Alaskans to afford the health insurance company that does offer healthcare in Alaska and provide a field of companies to compete. Many 'red' States have this issue like Ohio (hello Dan) and Lisa is not far separated fro Sullivan on this issue but at least those with no monetary income in Alaska have access to healthcare through the medicaid expansion that Alaska finally followed. Now if the politicians in Alaska could to terms with the truth about affordable healthcare instead of blindly following the Republican agenda at any cost and lives true healthcare might someday become the reality. Until then or a malignant brain tumor it will be harder to pay for.


Populism is a political movement that supports ordinary people against the establishment elites in government, business, universities and the media. Canada has a long history of very successful populist politicians: Mitch Hepburn, Premier of Ontario; Maurice Duplessis, Premier of Quebec; Camillien Houde, Mayor of Montreal; William Aberhart, Premier of Alberta; and Rob Ford, Mayor of Toronto. Populism is neither right nor left, it is only against establishment elites. Populism is often a reaction against the condescending and patronizing attitude toward ordinary people by the establishment elites such as Globe editors and columnists.

You believe you are invincible
You are not.  You are just stupid pawns like you have always been.
Stalin, Goebbels, Hitler, Marx,  Lenin all told you that you were equal until you weren't.

In fact I dare say many of you will regret your stance when Muslims take over this country and put you into youtube videos and make death camps out of you.....

Progressives don't believe that a religion can promote hate even if it is clear in the text; even if suicide bombings happen daily. If you believe the earth is flat then the earth is flat, notwithstanding overwhelming evidence to the contrary.


Another successful day for our PM.  It seems that the sky is not falling as the Cons would have you believe and we're not even getting "attacked" by terrorists every day.  I guess the Cons have nothing to offer anymore.


tigerwarrior,

Newsflash for you:  the overriding reason the Assault Weapons Ban was allowed to sunset after ten years was because there was no persuasive evidence that it worked.

Quite simply (from Wikipedia.org) :

"The Task Force on Community Preventive Services, an independent, non-federal task force, examined an assortment of firearms laws, including the AWB, and found 'insufficient evidence to determine the effectiveness of any of the firearms laws reviewed for preventing violence'."

It goes without saying this is very old news.

Now granted, if by reinstating the Assault Weapons Ban your intent is to keep bureaucrats employed and to support the passage or continuation laws that don't work, that's one thing, but by all means be explicit about it.  Just don't claim your intent is to prevent violent crime.  That would be disingenuous, if not an outright falsehood.

Now, care to try again?


Who do you think the Zionists are.....Ewoks?? They are Jews, Freddie...Zionists are Jews. The reason why I wrote about all Jews committed war crimes is because you insisted you haven't commit one when I stated that our nation has done so in the past. You individualized it, implying that individualizing Jews as well. You wrote it, not me. With all your "statements", you have yet to offer any solution to this problem. What is your solution, Mr. Minshall.....do you have one? Or all you got is extreme exaggerations to spread around?  What is YOUR solution to the problem in the Holy Lands?? Do you have some ideas right? Some thoughts?


Not all people are peace-loving.  That's what we need to deal with.  In my opinion, and I'm a registered Democrat, President Trump is attempting to change Washington, DC.  We are creatures of habit and it takes a massive load to cause anyone to change.

After looking at the coverage of this situation and the incident in April, it appears that United Airlines has a problem with racial discrimination against Asian-Americans.  I was wondering if the JACL would look at this issue as with other similar organizations.


Being hypocrites is not a compliment. Somebody really needs to tell these far left Dems that.

As for slanted news sites, they are only slanted if they do not  write what the Left mandates they write.

 The good news  for Americans is, try as the Dems might, they cannot change facts and rewrite history.


And Alaska pays out the highest oil and gas tax credits in the nation, has the highest prices for gasoline and fuel oil in the nation and receives the lowest revenue on production taxes in the nation.


Trudeau screwed up this option as well. when he limited the amount that can be contributed to the TFSA.  He was worried foregone government revenue in the future, not worried about how we will fund our retirement


The no to everything group might have more credibility if they ever proposed a viable alternative once in a while .


I would amend that to "practice law first" and then it would be good.  If the law/constitution doesn't match how "Alaska" - however you are defining Alaska - does things, then do the correct legal thing.

"The Trump administration is advising beneficiaries of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program to "prepare for and arrange their departure from the United States," ABC News reported Tuesday."

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2017/09/06/trump-administration-to-daca-recipients-you-might-want-to-pack-your-bags-n2377629?utm_source=thdailypm&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl_pm&newsletterad=

“DACA recipients, whose average age is in their 20s, were not an enforcement priority before and they certainly won’t become a priority now,” Sanders said at a press briefing Tuesday. “The priorities remain the same: criminals, security threats, and those who repeatedly violate our immigration laws. The main effect of today’s announcement is that work permits and other government benefits are being gradually phased out.”

The author seems very confident in dismissing Iran's stated reason for launching a satellite into space, but he does not use facts to justify his conclusion that the most recent launch is part of a nuclear-tipped ICBM program.  Contrary to his assertion, launching satellites is not a "perfect way to learn" all of the necessary precursors to an effective ICBM capability.  Most  conspicuously, it does nothing to assist in developing a warhead that can successfully re-enter the atmosphere.  It should also be incumbent on the author to explain why Iran's considerable missile development efforts in recent years have been focused on improving the survivability and accuracy of its short- and medium-range missiles -- not extending their range.


The mass shooting rate in the US is the same as the European Union.

The average incident rate for the 28 EU countries is 0.0602 with a 95% confidence Interval of .0257 to .09477. The US rate is 0.078 is higher than the EU rate, but US and the average for EU countries are not statistically different. The average fatality rate for the 28 EU countries is 0.114 with a 95% confidence Interval of -.0244 to .253. The US rate is 0.089 is lower than the EU rate, but they are again not statistically significantly different.

There were 27% more casualties per capita from mass public shootings in EU than US from 2009-15

Nonsense.  350 humans die from toxoplasmosis each year, more than from any other food borne illness except salmonella.  Your state bird is dying from toxoplasmosis, a disease that didn't exist here until feral ha'oles introduced invasive felines.  Toxoplasmosis kills all mammals, including humans, and probably all birds.

Stewart: I think what critics are calling for is the 'truth' and that is why they want a Special Prosecutor to look into the allegations.  If the truth is what everyone wants why are the GOP and White House vehemently opposing an investigation?  If they have nothing to hide one would think they would embrace an investigation.


LOL.   Only to the blind and the deaf.   Those of us that have ears to hear and eyes to see understand him perfectly.   Give you a perfect example.   The blind and the deaf accuse Trump of wanting the Russians to hack Hillary to find her 30000 missing emails.   The ones with ears to hear and eyes to see, know it was a joke and that he was referring to a hack that had already taken place, not asking them to hack again.


Unfortunately with over 50 per cent failure rate in the last EQAO grade 6 basic math testing in Ontario, this problem will not be resolved.  Apparently there are over 3000 high tech jobs available in the greater GTA which are requiring companies to bring in workers on a foreign visa as we do not have the qualified labour pool to fill these vacancies. It starts with basic math in education to fill these positions and Ontario is failing!!!   We are in a digital revolution and basic computer science skills are not required to graduate high school.


Not that I want to give the communist party of China any ideas, but when will it learn that silencing sources of dissent can only be accomplished by removing the senses, disabling speech, the ability to write, to see, to be mobile, to think.  mao all ready tried to convert populations in China to human forms of machinery when he worked and starved so many to death with the policy of the great leap forward. A policy that wanted to change people's names to numbers.  What did China fail to learn from the stalinist policies such as The Holodomor and the soviet political pogroms of the 30's.  What part of, intimidation does not work, is the ccp failing to grasp?

Here is a novel concept.  The issue is the inability of communism to separate itself from the horror of totalitarianism to hold onto power. Their incompetence is governing a population by intimidation to enforce compliance.  The problem is communism. History has shown that a controlled people can turn on a controlling government.


and kim jung il shot 16 holes in one in a single game! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA , ya right you little fat nut job


Did he assign fault ? I did not see that. This discussion seems to be void of practical wisdom from many engaging in it. We all know, right or wrong, that women who dress in certain ways are going to attract more attention, right or wrong, that is the way it is.

A woman who wants to avoid UNWANTED attention could dress differently if she chose to, to avoid unwanted it. Attention can be a good thing or a bad thing, some women use attention in business to gain an upper hand, much the same way a person uses a "power tie". Any of us who are married probably have wives who do NOT want attention and probably dress in a way as to discourage it.

You said you take pics of naked women - Which are obviously meant for someone to look at , and those pictures are going to illicit certain responses from different people. Some will react a certain way, some will react another way, but you cannot deny those reactions would be different had they taken pictures with clothes on.


Fine piece but it conflates politics with legislation and governing.  The latter two require empathy, the first not so much.
.
As Mr. Dooley said, "Sure, politics ain't bean-bag. 'Tis a man's game, an' women, childer, cripples an' prohybitionists 'd do well to keep out iv it.”

How's that "pig smooching" working for you today, Paul?


Please show us the  homes that have an assessed value above market value. It a simple process to appear before the Board of Equalization and show the them comparable properties in your neighborhood that are selling for less than your property. Of course that requires you can actually show those sales and not simple pretend they exist.  The actions of the BOE for last year are available. See how many claims there were about overvalued homes and how many owners were not able to show the assessment was wrong.

The only ‘joke’ is this article. A biased opinion piece, written specifically to bring out the crazies on both sides. Here’s another stat for you, vacancy rates in downtown Calgary are 30% and rising. Does that sound healthy to anyone? Calgary is the economic heart of Western Canada and the city with the 2nd most head offices in the country (behind Toronto). The frustration that Alberta has with a few provinces has little to do with transfer payments. The frustration is with the lack of understanding around the massive amount of taxes and jobs created country wide by exporting its oil & gas. Energy East is the biggest no-brainer infrastructure project in the country as it would end the import of foreign oil into our largest refineries in the east and eliminate our trade deficit overnight as our exports to the US would drop by a like amount. It would increase royalties and taxes as we would no longer sell our product at a discount to the US. But it will never happen, now that’s a joke!


Nope, his supporters could't bare the thought of one particular Women being President. And what makes you think he won't keep his promises? It's going to be a beautiful wall!!


Legality can be an objective fact, but sinfulness is not. You clearly were not present in Catholic school when loopholes were taught.


As the crusades were a response to the violence of Islam, so is the right’s rage toward the progressive left who initiated the violence toward conservatives. As usual, it’s the children of the left that first lower themselves to violence. This time, though, the right is starting to fight back and the left doesn’t like it, and it damned well will not like the end result.


Of course the fact that the necessary fiber optic cable expansion into every neighborhood, could be easily augmented to carry internet into every household in the city at almost no extra cost, will not be a consideration under the Big Telecom supported regime of Mayor Murray. Santa Clara's and numerous other munipower operations under more enlightened administrations used smart meters to as a vehicle for low cost broadband expansion using modern 802.11 ac mesh standards instead of the obsolete AMI standard.

Every southern Democrat, those who supported segregation, voted against the 1964 Civil Rights bill and Strom Thrumond left the party. The only southern Democrat who supported it was Ralph Yarborough of Texas who supported all civil rights bills from 1957 to 1970 (including the Voting Rights Act of 1965). Sanders isn't a "D". He's an Independent. Try to pay attention. The KKK collapsed by 1870, disappearing for 50 years. The Republicans abandoned Reconstruction in 1876 and are now doing their best to void the 15th Amendment by sending Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach around the country to teach Republican officials how to keep blacks and Hispanics (and even students, the poor and women) from voting.


One can envision a scenario in which the offender, having confessed and then re-offended, is finally apprehended and then blames the priest: "Well, I confessed to Fr. X and he could have stopped me."  The offender might try to mitigate his own responsibility in that way apart from whether or not he was denied absolution; and again, the priest would not be permitted to affirm or deny whether he gave absolution.

I tend to think, though, that none of this is likely: I don't think serial sex offenders are getting in line to go to confession.

99% of the cases they see aren't this clear cut.
Trump shot himself in the foot and admitted his reasoning was based on bigotry.


It depends on what type of "faith" you are looking up.  If it is religious faith, it is exactly the same.

(Religious) faith: "strong belief in God or in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual apprehension rather than proof."

Superstition: "excessively credulous belief in and reverence for supernatural beings" and "a widely held but unjustified belief in supernatural causation leading to certain consequences of an action or event, or a practice based on such a belief."

There is no difference.

"The proposed measure could cause the price at Waikiki metered stalls to go to $3 an hour between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. in areas where it is now $1.50 an hour, and to $1.50 an hour where it is now 75 cents an hour. Parking for 10 minutes would cost 50 cents. The proposal also could double designated metered parking rates downtown to $3 an hour from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m."

THIS is how they respond to Honolulu's high cost of living problems.  The same problems they preach and preach about in their supposed compassion for same?  THIS is the result of that compassion?


Most people see the arrangement you describe as a win-win deal and good for business.  Trump sees equality as an opportunity.

Just because you have money enough from whatever/wherever - it is no defense against having zero taste, because there plenty of zero taste here, more than enough for several homes.

"the funding of the rail should not be contingent on any audit results of past experience."

That's the same as saying if a crime was committed in the past, those involved in the criminal activity, can't be prosecuted because the crime has already been committed.

Mr. Yamachika, you are right - we would certainly appreciate seeing a Federal audit triggered by issuing construction bonds!


Why not go back to the Ottomans as the basis for middle East turmoil?

Why not suggest our involvement was to mitigate the problems caused by the Crusades?


Certainly you must understand that historic, naturally-caused climate change doesn't preclude anthropogenic climate change any more than historic, naturally-caused forest fires preclude arson. Things can, and do, happen for different reasons.

The reference to the "half a degree" rise is given the impossible context of all GHG emissions stopping now. That increase is simply the lagged response of the climate equilibrating to GHGs already having been emitted. A "business as usual" emissions scenario will likely result in an increase of near 4ºC (7ºF).


Yep. No system is perfect, and this one has flaws that probably allow a motivated, agenda-driven person or group to get acceptable comments removed that they don't agree with.

I noticed yesterday, while going through the posting process, an earlier comment of mine appeared for review. A few seconds later, I got a notification that someone had just replied to the same comment. So I assume the poster flagged the comment prior to replying. If that's the case, the flagging was done just because the replier disagreed with the anti-Trump comment, which had already been adjudicated as meeting civility standards.


This is how a rich country like Canada is in shambkes.   Cons, Libs or whomever.    We are being duped.   And bad.

Since the press is in lock step with the Democrats, i hope the hate carries over. Can't wait for the midterms.


i wouldn't presume anything in such a complicated, rare condition.  pregnancy is the same in that it involves another life in a host mother.  different ways that ends and even in the category of live births,  it's not the same even for one woman having 2 or more pregnancies.


We are the Democrats. We can control the weather!


Really people?  A dog known by animal control and "it's owners" to be excessively aggressive.  A yard with no fence visible.  A man and his 3 year old, new to the street with no knowledge of the dog.  Premeditated,  Really?

The average dog runs at about 25 MPH.  That means it would take 1.3 seconds for the dog to cross the 50 foot yard.  How fast are your reflexes and how much do you desire to protect your children and self?

Losing a dog is not fun, been there!   However once the blood lust of the offended neighborhood cools, life will go on and the former dog owner can get another dog to train to be a guard dog.  Hopefully he will keep it better restrained or better trained!  Perhaps in a few years the new neighbors will find a better and smarter neighborhood to move to anyway.


Learn from Vegas.  Because of the freedom to sell it, the demand FOR it has gone up and suppliers are raising prices according and the users are now REGRETTING how much they now have to pay while the govt is laughing all the way to the bank.  Don't be puppets.


I thought and hoped that he'd drifted away from the public life.  He lied for years, hurt people by denigrating them for speaking the truth and has never fully taken responsibility for his deceitful and outrageous conduct. Anyone who thinks otherwise has simply not followed the story.

The dictionary definition of the adjective racist is: "showing or feeling discrimination or prejudice against people of other races".  Trump has demonstrated this behavior on numerous occasions.  So, if Paula White insists that Trump is not racist, then, either she does not know the meaning of the word, or she is lying.  Either way ....


You are question begging.  You assume what you want to prove, namely that the SCOTUS ruled on the constitutionality of existing law.

The decision was 5-4.  The decision was not even close to unanimous.  Four justices dissented.  One made many of the same arguments I made by his question "When did this become unconstitutional?"  A question the lawyer could not answer.

The only answer he could have given was "Sometime after 2008---when gay marriage stated to catch on and be the next trendy sensation to grip pop-culture." I think Roberts even argued something along those lines, namely that this institution is so new, the court should not be wading into the debate at this time.

In the end, four justices believed that the decision was wrong, perhaps for different reasons.  The point is that the decision is not so obviously based on existing law as you want to lead me to believe.

Dale Patrick, Hillary did not kill anyone, yours is a slanderous statement. If she did kill someone she would have been charged. Even the republican congressional hearings of 11 hours straight did not find a criminal act. Freedom of speach is a wonderful thing.


What you expect from a tax and spend party . They will give with one hand and take from the other while a smiling  Singh makes promises of looking out for you  but in the end you find   less money in your pocket.
Oh, and they will  justify  trying to sell this to support one of their social engineering schemes  where you find yourself fleeced again a victim of the self  righteous left that forgot about you.


All the more reason for McCain to retire. If he veers "off-course" so easily why is he entrusted with

What about Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday, today, and forever. Hebrews 13:8 ?  What about "I am the Alpha and the Omega".   Your statement contradicts.


the "organic" industry is one of the greatest consumer frauds committed in America today, but down at LCFM they have had a history of illegal price fixing, and until last year LCFM mandated all vendors engage in illegal price fixing. Any vendor that honors "buy direct from the grower and save" is ran off through a gauntlet of criminal behavior our county board and city council has protected from criminal prosecution.


I was there, 1956-59, a product of BIA.


He didn't just show up a few days before his 16th birthday and start fighting.  The brainwashing started with his father and others working on his young mind years earlier.  He stood no chance of cultivating an independant thought about this.  The KKK does the same to their young children, they begin indoctrination as early as possible.  Our reasoning and other higher functioning skills are not fully developed until age 25 and only if we have been free of childhood trauma.  This child was denied his rights and is owed all the rehabilitative support that we can provide by both governments.  Harper should be billed directly.


The bait will NOT be taken.

Not "entirely from the perspective of social science", but more importantly from a growing consensus and public consciousness. You seem to acknowledge this yourself as "generally considers equal treatment of LGBT people in terms of justice". This is somewhat distinct from a more esoteric or academic "social science".
You also give too much credit to the church. To adopt your terminology they don't "entirely"  "approach the subject in terms of scripture and tradition". Rationalize yes, but also upon the more recent defensive construct that still refuses to de-link homosexuality from clerical sex abuse, maintaining and capitalizing upon the debunked myth. This in addition to what you rightly identify as tradition:  the sexual complementarity model revived by Pope John Paul, which in turn supports the "spousal" argument for the exclusion  of women, not to mention the reproductive politics of sex, etc. Too much vulnerability to seek common language with LGBT let alone honest discussion.


The NBA doesn't disrupt,their season, soccer doesn't either. The Olympics can stick it.

Way less.  Over eight years, the Obama vacation / weekend travel cost $97 million.  Trump will exceed that in less than six months.

It's a scandal and a disgrace.  Trump supporters who whined about every dollar spent on Obama are silent on the fantastic costs being racked up by Trump.  So much for his pledge to not travel and work in the White House.


A dirty tag-team hit.


It was quite civil. As well as correct. Tridentinus has said, in as many words, that his opinions are congruent with the teachings of the magisterium, and also that anyone who disagrees with the magisterium in any jot or tittle is ipso facto not a true Catholic. Hence: Anyone who disagrees with him is not a Catholic.


Galchenyuk looks lost out there.  Not used to playing the wing, doesn't want to play the wing, probably should be @ centre.

Not out of the question Vos Canadiens move him at some point once their season ends.


Which one of Obama's moles leaked the information out about the meeting.


"they pay".  Probably a lot if they don't have a license, what is the fine?  Undoubtedly more than a license or three.
As to RV parking, have you tried to book something in the summer?   Last time the wife and I did, had guests coming up for a couple of weeks and wanted them to see Homer so we took the RV down, we booked that about 6 months in advance and were lucky to find a spot.  WallyWorld is about all that's available, and they're starting to shutdown that option, insurance I suspect.  It cost us about $2K to get across Canada, and takes about a week, did it down in the fall and back in the summer.  The RV type tourists probably will spend the summer up here, and sometimes they even buy stuff here.


Aren't we so smug? Your "obviouslys" are not so obvious at all, at all. That's why trust is needed in pastoral discretion so that someone with some education can sort things out with people.

Ok I get it, you can't understand it so you just dismiss it as nonsense and ignore the actual science that supports it. Your claim about the "onus of treatment" is absurd. Dealing with people respectfully and compassionately isn't treatment, it's simply decent human behaviour. Your claim about  the "threat of government imposed penalty" is nothing more than an attempt to make you look like the victim and is simply paranoid fear mongering.

You can google the National Geographic article yourself. But be careful you may find that it, and other google results, will challenge your rather baseless convictions. Psychiatrists in Canada aren't licensed by the government but by the professional association in each province. You can google that too. You can also look up Peterson's research, writings, and videos. None of which are focussed on gender dysphoria or gender identity. I would hardly call his refusal to use different pronouns an offer of "open debate". Nor is he an expert on the subject


Great job by Nolan on the defensive, offensive and crowd control fronts.  A great game only slightly diminished by the heckling clown.  You always know you're going to have a long day at the park when having to sit near some other dum bass fan that won't put a lid on it.  Some buy tickets only to behave in a way that is otherwise socially unacceptable. Yer a buncha bums, I tell ya!

Definitely a tension-filled game all the way through.  It shows how important just making the playoffs would be, because that's what the Rox would likely face...Greinke in a one-game series in AZ, and at least for one night the club showed such a game is winnable.  Holland is still very shaky, but patch the sails and shine the rails and move on to the next challenge.


2016 will be remebered for Usain Bolt.


Well that aint bad, but you want to talk about impeding, you need to look at Clinton and Comey.  His so called "bragging" was just shmoozing the Ruskies. But he's several steps ahead of everyone else, so relax, every little thing is gonna be alright.


Good article. Thanks.


Apparently you didn't live here before the Pipeline era, Wavemaker. Alaska used to be much wiser when it came to matters of self-protection and justice ... before folks like you showed up to change justice into criminal law that enriches state workers to house criminals while the victims bear the cost of the crimes committed against them.


I think Chicagoland, a little bit outside of Chicago, is a real possibility.    Transportation hub, relatively cheap for the US, and some interesting spots.   Lots of strong schools in that area.  The housing market article today mentioned that prices in Chicago lag other major world centres, so definitely a possibility.


"Having boys focus on dance isn't a good idea."  Yes, they might want to jump into leotards and even consider ballet!  GASP!  We know what THAT means!!  You are a freaking idjit.


I looked at reverse mortgages. The younger the borrower the less money advanced( 33% to a 65 year old ). The  reverse mortgage is a good option for the 80 year old looking to live out their days in the family home. The loan advanced is never more than 50 to 60 % and is likely to be paid out within 10 to 15 years.  I advocate that CMHC backstop all lenders so as to provide reverse mortgages as an option for older 75+ seniors. Surely it makes sense to lend money to seniors to allow them to stay in their own home instead of warehousing them in expensive facilities. If more lenders offered this kind of mortgage perhaps the interest rate could come down. What is needed is a complete rethink of risk management for reverse mortgage portfolios. The property taxes should be paid by the lender and tagged onto the loan . Also the loan need not be paid out in one sum, it could go out as annuity payments .


Thank goodness that my husband and I can both live with a bit of clutter. okay, a lot of clutter. Although I am given to spending the last hour of the day in tender putter mode, putting the newspapers in piles. At some point, I decided I could have gleaming floors and counters or finish the book I was writing. We don't live in filth (thank you, Rosa)  and most of the clutter is books.  Those austere minimalist houses aren't zen, anyway; they are crazy making. Leave one set of keys on the counter and the effect is ruined.
I did roll up all my socks into balls and color code them, Marie kondo-style.  It makes me happy every time I open the sock drawer. I think the socks like it too, since many of the missing socks returned from wherever they were gadding about.


Why does your Hypocrisy Radar only work on the Dems, didn't it go off as you were writing your comment?


"(Just imagine the recriminations if any public sector agency ever blew through its budget by a similar margin.)"

Geez, I expected better effort and intellectual honesty from a renowned economist like Sanford.  Public sector examples are easy to find.  Muskrat Falls is more than 50% over budget.  Ontario's eHealth project.  Just about any military procurement project.

A cost overrun for a major, capital-intensive project is pretty much expected.  The Sydney Opera House was ten years over-due and cost 14x the original budget.  (Oh those Ozzies!)  Montreal's Olympic Stadium was budgeted at $134m but cost $264m by the time it opened. A 50% cost over-run seems tame in comparison.

Just imagine if...indeed.   You undermined your credibility with this gratuitous (but unfounded) shot.


Fine but at some point reality needs to sink in for all.  I remember being hassled by police as a young teen of color.  Now I look back with shame because much of it was my fault - staying out late, doing drugs, hanging out with wannabe thugs, and having an attitude.  What I see (on all sides) are good intentions with no real understanding.  If you want to make a difference, stop
complaining and do something to keep our kids in school and out of jail.


I love to see all of the "experts" and the adn assigning motives to people who don't support an income tax that insinuate that it is because they are  greedy, corrupt, etc...while ignoring the main reason shown in polls and stated in public testimony - the state budget has not been reduced enough. The house increased the size of government.  If legislators ae unwilling to reduce even the simple things that don't result in layoffs or a reduction of services - like funded, unfilled positons - why would we give them more money?   Its interesting that Keithley only attacks the Senate majority, when the house is proposing to do the same thing - and add a myriad of new taxes?


The comparison is laughable.

Obama - like him or not - is a respected Constitutional scholar, author and statesman.

Trump is a thin-skinned narcissist, TV entertainer with zero domestic or foreign policy experience and a spotty (at best) business record.

Oh, and Obama's tax returns are available for anyone to see. Where are Trump's?


I see it now............ she lost control of her car when she dropped her meth.  Now that she's tested positive a couple of times, it explains a lot about her irrational behavior.


Fair enough, I said this merely based on the information included in the article and could be very wrong as a result. I suppose we are all so desperate for justice in our sick sick world. The ANC culture was slowly created by all involved in the party  though by those who recruited, voted and allowed behaviour that now torment us. Andrew isn't even here to live through the consequences of his policies and culture created whilst he was in the ANC which are now in full swing.


"Obviously he cares more about possible immigrants than our own mothers, sisters, aunties, wives and daughters. It is time for a new attorney general."

Truth hurts.


"In the end I hope the truth comes out and let the chips fall where they may."

That's all I want as well. This is obviously going to take longer than I had hoped, hopefully a lot if heads roll, Flynn as well, those generals always get off when they do bad.


Proving a negative is technical term in logic.  It refers to attempting to prove (for example) that there are no human beings who have ever existed who are 20 feet tall.  It is logically impossible to prove that.  Or proving that there are no extra-terrestrial beings on earth.  Those statements cannot be proven.  So generally, logicians would say that the only proof would be to prove that there is a human 20 ft tall, or that there is an extra-terrestrial being by producing one.  As a logical exercise, please prove that Mickey Mouse doesn't exist as a sentient being.

The math equation you produced is not a negative by the definition commonly accepted for proving a negative.

I have produced reasons to believe but not proof.  You on the other hand have produced no reason to believe that ICE could enforce local laws.  I cannot prove a negative.  But you have not even attempted to give a reason to believe that ICE agents could enforce local laws.


Julius Malema is a racist, plain and simple. He believes standards are good and double standards are twice as good. Incitement to violence - tick. Hate speech - tick. Blatant racism - tick. Legal action against him - not even a box to tick.


So, trump has proof that the election is rigged, yet he'll accept the results if he wins......hmmm.


I would like to see Meuller subpeona them. Force Trump to either turn them over or admit that it was an empty schoolyard threat.


you gotta be kidding


Yeah. As it's reported in the Atlantic, at least, it seems like they settled for a low threshold of proof on this one. Worrisomely low.


A fantastic success story for Canada  WITHOUT government involvement,  thank goodness,   they would have screwed it up.   Please note Bombardier


Donald J. TrumpVerified account @realDonaldTrump  6h6 hours ago
 If Republicans are going to pass great future legislation in the Senate, they must immediately go to a 51 vote majority, not senseless 60...
Donald J. TrumpVerified account @realDonaldTrump  6h6 hours ago
 ...Even though parts of healthcare could pass at 51, some really good things need 60. So many great future bills & budgets need 60 votes...

So now the realDonald wants to change Senate rules to shove through his ideals. Threaten his staff, threaten congress with "repercussions will be far greater than any of them understand!"

Bravo! Some posters also demonstrate a complete lack of a sense of humor.  Civility among citizens is laudable, but satirizing and mocking public figures is as American as apple pie.


American political rhetoric has always been close to blood sport. That is why the founders created the electoral college. Oops.

In Europe, families with Downs Children recieve support, indeed all families recieve support that they don’t get here. Their value added taxes raise the revenue necessary for this, which is why the GOP resists such a tax so vehemently. The pain capable argument is valid as the fetus reacts to the procedure, which is rare, even if it cannot perceive the pain. This argues for requiring anasthesia or maybe induction, not a mandate to continue the pregnancy. Few have an abortion that late because they simply decide that they don’t want a child.

I suspect the hierarchy is on the wrong side of the gerrymandering case because of right to life movement coalition politics. Sadly, that does not include passing a VAT and a higher child tax credit.


I'm a lifelong Alaskan who lived in Vegas for a few years and I can tell you, our Child Protective Services are ruthless up here. Vegas is nothing like it. Nothing!

You must be in some strange position because the subsidies are huge and the federal poverty rate for AK is much higher than the lower 48.

With Medicare for all you would be fine. Look at what the Canadians have. Republicans like to say millions of Canadians stream across the border for healthcare they can't get in Canada, but actually it is well under .1% of them who do that. They are all pleased with their healthcare plan. We should follow their lead.

With a national health plan we could put some brakes on doctors and dentists prices. You'll note how many docs in AK will not take Medicare or Medicaid. I guess their afraid they can't afford that second airplane and the bigger yacht in Hawaii.


No. No. No.   According to the Michael Babad  article, ADJUSTED earnings went from $1.14 to $1.22.   Actual reported earnings were different. It is very important that the Globe and Mail report the actuals, and not mislead the readers with corporate wish list numbers.


Awww...you're killing the cute little PIKE?  Why don't you just trap-neuter-and-release them like the 'no-kill' animal welfare imbeciles say we should do for feral cats, so they can live out their lives in 'nature' (where they don't belong)?


Utter rubbish....


Well I'm glad you have opened this to an actual conversation. Common sense gun laws? Well first we have to agree that the open ban and confiscation for all Americans  is unconstitutional and off the table. But, as gun owners we need to admit that we need to be able to prove that we are legally qualified and trained to own and possess firearms. I'm a supporter of mandatory gun safety training. Mandatory background checks and registration of any and all purchases and transfers. (not favored by most gun owners) I'm opposed to the right to conceal carry or open carry any type of firearm in public place without all of the above (unlike Alaska's Constitutional Carry Law). I'm for mandatory waiting periods. I'm for fingerprinting. I'm for new regulations on Bump Fire stocks and similar devices. I'm for laws that require guns to be locked up and unloaded whenever not in use or under direct adult supervision by a "responsible and qualified gun owners". I'm have more but out of Character space.


In the end, Trump cares about people, but he cares the most about The Constitution, and American people first as he should.

The Dream Act can be handled like any visa, for a set time frame. It should not include any new applicants, and it should include mandatory deportation of the Dream Act recipients parents or guardian illegally here, who brought them here just as soon as the Dreamer turns age 21. Then remove, expedited, the adults responsible. With no chance of them ever re-entering the US, even sponsored.

But Christ did not say, "This is my male body".

To understand Inter Insigniores, you need to understand that the author was bringing in every argument against the ordination of women without reallyy considering them or their honesty. For example of his dishonesty, he admits that the argument that women are inferior to men is not acceptable (indeed, he tries to pretend that it was never taken seriously), and then he drags it back in, without really admitting he is doing so.

In particular, you have to understand the deeply ingrained sexism of the hierarchy.

No, my future is tied to the continuing progress to make a freer, more democratic, more safe and peaceful and prosperous and healthy world which rules out my future being China on several counts.
