The Lease was illegal.  It was more like industry and the state conspired, with a large amount of incompetence on the State level thrown in.


Making the statement that Trump is not a salesman shows deep disconnect from consensus reality.


Just don't make the same mistake that both McGill and Université de Montreal did, when they hired SNC-Lavalin, one of Canada's most corrupt companies, to build hospitals for them.


Unfortunately, this is happening in ALL of King County.  I live in Renton but in the Issaquah School Dist.  My increase in property taxes will be higher compared to Bellevue.  Im retired and NOT a rich executive.  So go figure.  See chart in this article.  When I was looking to buy a home, Bellevue was too much for me.  It still is.

Well, I would hope we had progressed a bit from our time as murderers of Native Americans.


The most crucial issue here is that they are banning vapor products. Time and again "Public Health" has pushed for smoker's to quit. When they do quit by switching to vaping they are thrown under the bus the same way as when they were smokers. We already know that vaping is at least 95% safer than combustible tobacco, vapers have less risk of respiratory infections, second hand vapor issues do not exist, etc. So why punish vapers for choosing a healthier lifestyle?


I would have thought that if Kapolei would truly be a 2nd city--with its own downtown business district--that there would be much higher density with high rise buildings, wide streets, and that such density would ensure some control of urban sprawl.  However, all I see out there in Kapolei are countless low-rise structures.


More guns surely would have prevented this.


If Obama wants to be true to his values and wants to speak about health care-can you say pro-bono?
Anytime money gets thrown around-it pollutes the original intentions.


Open comment to Director Movick:  Today, a large earthquake (7.7) hit near the Solomon Islands and generated tidal activity in parts of the Pacific.  This nation is part of your 17 nation organization.  Many nations in the area are suffering from climate change.  The area is undergoing changes that have gone beyond the tipping point and the fisheries of these nations are their primary source of income.  You are quoted in this article saying that, "sometimes you have to hope like heck and keep plugging away in working groups."  Well kind sir,   working groups do no work.  Leadership is not found in a committee.  Hope does not address or correct problems. Wishing does not make it happen.  I wish you the best and special regards to those that have been affected in the Solomon's Islands and the region by this earthquake.


I live in a city of 10,000 and we have five pot dispensaries. And the provinces already have the model of liquor distribution.


Did you read it?


I gotta ask
Floyd wants to turn drivers into card carrying felons who injure bike riders
Yet he is against empowering women with 20 year statue of limitations for sexual crimes
He wants 12 year max
Why are those extra years so important to him???


In deep water and heavy sea state an anchor is completely useless. The idea here is to make the window of opportunity that exists to respond broader. Time is the key.


Right. Security for the sake of liberty. Creating enemies out of the people who see America as a beacon of hope and refuge. All good ideas. We're going to be so safe after this I'm sure. This will surely do nothing to play into the hands of those who would seek to do us harm. I feel so safe.

You know, I'd agree with you if we did nothing similar to "extreme vetting" already when deciding who gets to immigrate here. But we already do. This is blatant religious profiling. Temporary ban aside, he also told numerous Christians, women, and children who were hoping to seek refuge from the Syrian civil war that America doesn't want them. An awful and disgraceful precedence to set.


A full break from the your-a-peeon union is just whats needed. Go Britain.


Okay. Thought maybe you were unfamiliar with the area.


So to hell with everyone because a few may take liberties? Typical. Sad!


I don't remember Ige making these promises.  Our prior president may have made these promises.  Do you realize that there is a difference?  Ige is not Obama.

In any event, Obama did not have the control over these promises such as the Donald has over his central promise.  Obama had to work with congress to fulfill his promise.  What is the Donald's excuse?  lol


I used to support Greenpeace, but not any more. What it tells us about the environment is not scientifically verifiable, and even if it were, the hyperbolic language it uses to tell us about the damage to the environment and the protest tactics it uses would negate its argument. Real threats to the environment claims are based on science, not rhetoric.


Lets look at this...... the street crews are union.  They have a great contract.  They can't be fired, so why would the do a good job.  Not like the private contractor doing Eagle River and Chugiak that does an awesome job.  So why no privatize the rest of it.....Well we would keep all the current employees on and not save a penny, but the roads would be plowed.

William Browder's senate testimony revealed the Kremlin connection with FusionGPS.

Now we know that the Clinton campaign and the DNC actively worked with the group to the point of giving them $12M, directly funding the Steele dossier.

How isn't that collusion???????????????????????????????


Sorry I don't follow - no one is forced to retire at any age.  Work until 80 if you want.

The discussion is around when is the MINIMUM age that people should have the OPTION to retire


As president, Trump would probably spend most of his time cooking up new fraudulent money-making schemes like "Trump University."  He would then target his most passionate supporters because they the only ones who would willingly give their money to this con artist.


Bradley Strider That is a good attitude to become a doormat, listening and enjoying justin do you.


I want the totem poles removed from Stanley Park because I am offended by the behaviour of the Miqmaq in Halifax,threatening to tear down the statue of Cornwallis.Real civil behaviour.Why don't we all go back 268 years and file some grievances?We all have some.Even the evil white man.


OBAMAcare doesn't provide regular health care to ALL Americans, and you are perfectly fine with that rationing. There are better ways to ration health care? So is it or is it not possible to provide health care to everyone?


T:  You are a waste of time.  Come up sometime and see how real people live.

Yep, and PMJT will have no influence on her future appointments.  He has already told her to appoint a clone of Jean Cretien or hit the backbencges.


BS Richard Corbeil. Sales taxes takes a fee from people who don't even earn any money! What could be more regressive than that?

Skin in the game my eye, you just want others to pay more so you don't have to - at least be honest about it.


I'm sure that the thousands that Bombardier has laid off will agree with you.

Sure, as long as they understand their biggest asset is at risk if there is a fire. Even the Marco Polo condo owners may lose their nest egg from lawsuits to come.


This study is about as useful as tell us the sky is blue.


that convenience will still allow pot dealers to remain active...since pot dealers are still active after 5PM/9PM on Sundays/weekdays. People grab weed at like 11pm-2am on weekends...the gov store is def not going to be open that late. Alcohol/Tobacco is still accessible via Bars/Gas stations.


Did you mean for that to sound the way that it did?

Healthcare is not, I repeat, NOT a right.  It is a service.
Everyone has a right to life.  For you to exercise your right to life, it doesn’t cost anybody else anything.  Healthcare is a service provided by people who are paid to provide it.  ACCESS to healthcare is a right, and no one is taking that away by not paying for someone else’s healthcare.  That’s pretty easy to understand.  If healthcare is a “right”, then so is food, water, shelter, clothing, telecommunications, television and everything else that is a paid for service.  Of course, thinking that all these services are rights is nothing but Communism.


No leadership.   One and done for Iggy.


YAWN.


That's precisely why police shouldn't be wearing that garb. They're in Canada now.

What about when the judge rules against you or the cop says "go home, forget about it"? How do you know they would say the same thing if you weren't Jewish and they weren't Muslim, and vice versa, and every other combination?


Do unto others, that might one day, be done unto you !!!

Go along, to get along, to maintain status quo, and saving face.


what about the constant diesel exhaust that's more obnoxious then a vape cloud.


II:  Yes, burning flags is despicable so is not standing during the national anthem.  Go to a VFW hall, ask a young wife whose husband is deployed, ask a grieving parent who lost a son or daughter how they feel about this.  Disrespect is disrespect, condoning or apathy or encouraging it is cowardly.


This brazen act of hypocrisy can't be called a "first".


Ah, yes, but patients can be helped in all tax jurisdictions. If we use your logic, I guess no physicians should be working here in Canada -- they should all be working for little or no compensation in third world countries.


So Chris, since this bothers you so much why don't you simply not apply for that "free money"?


GREAT! They've got my business from now on!


Is anyone surprised to see another connection between dogma and crime? Horrible torture and murder inflicted on the innocent due to religion based judgement. Cults are just religions with less adherents and smaller body counts, the underlying dogma is the same.


The  Multnomah Channel seems to be a dumping ground. Several years ago I was there fishing, we were trolling for salmon and all of a sudden my pole and line started goin crazy, thought I had a fish on, jumped up, grabbed my pole only to see that the line was wrapped around  a BODY.  The body was floating.   Had not been  in the water very long, looked fresh.   It appeared to be a neatly dressed, groomed late 20's aged white male,  Nice Suit etc.,   The problem, a large BULLET hole in his temple.  Called 911.   They asked us to stay by the body.   So,  Backed up, got my line back.   It took Harbor Patrol approx. 20 minutes to get there.  They flopped the body up on their boat deck.  They told us, We know  this guy.  He was a extremely well known  local "Business Man", involved in Pimping, Drugs, Gambling, Mafia connections etc.

We did not catch any salmon that morning, I think the body scared the fish away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


If these folks dont like it here they should move to canada 😒


I agree. But gas tax and registration fees (auto usage fees) only pay for federal and state highways - not the local roads that most bicyclists use. Local roads are paid for by cyclists because local roads are funded by bonds, income tax, sales tax and property tax.


Typical twits posting here pretending not to notice sexism in the AfD's statements such as opposition to gender neutrality or equality, focusing on the "natural [biological] differences", "population development", attacking abortion and divorce laws plus calling Merkel 'mommy' derisively and 'taking their country back' are all tinged with sexism.  It's an anti-woman bro culture which is true with most racist movements.


Hey Northsider, your Springs slant is showing.


If it is a true statement why do you far right angry cons need to cower from it?  If this Wolf Pack was not involved make your claim.....otherwise and in typical fashion the rights propensity towards cognitive dissonance is striking again.


While this story may end up as nothing more than a witch hunt, it exposes serious problems with Trump's administration and glaring faults in his character.

He threatens, disparrages people who disagree with him, says whatever he thinks people want to hear without regard to truth, speaks out on issues without knowing the facts, etc.
He is narciscistic and incredibly shallow. He comes across as a child with a temper tantrum when he does not get his way.

He does not have the temperment for public office and should never have been elected much less allowed to stand for election. He may not be impeached but he may get so frustrated by opposition to his policies that he quits anyway.

In the end the American people will come to accept the mistake they made voting him in.


Build the road ALL THE WAY from Juneau to Skagway!!!


The United Nations has publicly stated its goal is not to ‘solve’ climate change, but to seek to redistribute wealth and expand its authority through more central planning. UN official Ottmar Edenhofer, co-chair of the IPCC Working Group III, admitted what’s behind the climate issue: “One must say clearly that we redistribute de facto the world’s wealth by climate policy … One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. This has almost nothing to do with environmental policy anymore.”

Nobel Prize Winning Physicist Dr. Ivar Giaever: ‘Global warming is a non-problem’ – ‘I say this to Obama: Excuse me, Mr. President, but you’re wrong. Dead wrong.’

Plenty of real "sciencee" people below that disagree with you David, probably dismiss them too.

I am also disgusted by people who will turn a blind eye to the obvious corruption in the white house and with donors to the Clinton Crime Family Foundation. I have to wonder if they are just poorly informed or do they have a piece of the action. I can't claim they are stupid because the graft and corruption seems to be well planned and executed with cover provided by the New York Times and broadcast TV.


Now that some of Trumps skeletons are jumping out of his closet, more of Clintons skeletons will be jumping out of hers. She has a real big closet.

How's ol Torts doing compared to the $8MUSD groomed mop in the Nation?  Answer.  A LOT BETTER.


Well put!


Defend Canadian interests. Defend our interests, and get the best deal we can.

Do NOT pick a trade war with our biggest partner, and best ally just because "Trump".

Virtue signalling defiance is a foolish gesture. No matter what anyone thinks about Trump, we've got 4 years, maybe 8 of dealing with him. Do something constructive.


If we can't afford to travel to 'important' meetings, then we shouldn't go.


re:  tech world is full of nerdy guys such as James Damore. People skills are not their strength.

I found his social skills very compassionate and considerate, these are the people I like to socialize with. The PC police on the other hand, people fear them, they do not respect them, and people tell them what they want to hear, that's socializing I can live without, is this 'a lack of people skills' by today's definition?


The market is a herd that that is easily spooked into stampede - it could drop 500 points in a week.


My thought also.   She was mayor for a very long time.  She had her head in the sand until a few months before the election.  The rest of the city administration still does.


To clarify not I am technically anti Navy nor Anti NAS Whidbey for that matter. Nor am I anti Base expansion, NOR anti Coupeville OLF expansion but I want everything but amends as it is done. I want the mess cleaned up.

Looking back over time, this isn't necessarily true. Before the dot com crash, lots of people in public pension plans wanted to opt out because they thought they'd get better returns in the markets. And keep in mind while pension plan owners do get a guaranteed return for life, drop dead early and beyond a lump sum payment, the money stops; unlike a RIF where it can be a tax-free inheritance for someone. DB pension plans have stability and are attractive, but not for everyone and diligent savers and investors can do better.


I enjoyed this article.  Thank you, Mr. Dunham.


Excellent comment and absolutely true.


Here's a concept: leave the place as it is instead of ruining it with humans. We've already taken over nearly everywhere. Go bike somewhere else.


Someone named 'Pladimir Vutin' made the call...


If it were not for certain activities that Trump has taken already, the economy might be tanking, because of the Dems trickle up economics.   They have been trying to kill small businesses who can not afford the spike in wages.


I don't believe he said that. Any informed and legit Fire Chief *shouldn't* say that!

However, I found this which makes plenty more sense:

>>Fire Chief Joe Zaludek and several of the City Councilors say most of the time, legal fireworks aren’t the problem.<<

http://nbc16.com/news/local/city-council-wants-to-avoid-banning-fireworks-completely

Legals do cause problems, just not as often.

Pastor Taylor is always on the news and at city meetings when this topic comes up, claiming to do a bunch of good with the money he collects from fireworks.  He doesn't keep any for himself?   Someone once wrote that churches and fireworks don't mix.   I repeat just once more, I think it's unfortunate that it's legal for him to do what he does and not pay taxes.


"Why is real estate purchased for long-term hold so sinister ... but paying 23X for the S&P for long term hold is OK?"

Well, for one, becuase interest rates are already rising and will continue to rise over the next few years, making mortgage payments more expensive.  And, according to the numerous studies, most people can't afford that.

Secondly, by purchasing real estate, people are gambling with about 20 years of income.  those stakes are way too big for anyone to be playing with.

Finally, any rationale person can take a look at this market and determine that it is poised to collapse.  There is no way these prices are sustainable or justified.

Any other questions?


Yeah, don't bother to actually assess the facts.

This comment thread is discussing sexual assault and how it keeps women down. Violence should never be normalized.

This thread is not discussing kinky sex or seduction. Bringing the conversation around to those points is what some commenters are doing to distract from the seriousness of sexual assault and to provide misguided information. Thank you.


No reason provided for the headline other than disbelief it is where it is. Waste of paper. At least say move partially into gold.


You realize (of course not, don't answer that) that the FBI has been involved with this issue since 2015, and the reason they're releasing him, is that the issue has been put to bed?

Do you really think if the Clintons were guilty that the FBI would let their informant go singing?

C'mon man.


Dude, your obsession with the Clintons is bad for your health.  Chill, it's politics.  Sorry you ended up with a rabid dog in the race but life goes on.


Again, try reading. My original comment already addressed your attempted point before you even made it.


Excellent, chemicals are toxic to humans. Let's see some caring about human life please, Governor Ige, Sen. Kouchi, & Mr. Enright.


First off, I wonder exactly what insights Joe Biden can provide about "what to expect from the Trump administration". I don't think he even knows what's going on in the Obama Administration.

Second is Mckenna's  comment about the cost of Canada's carbon reduction plan.... "While the measures are costly, "the cost of inaction on climate change are much greater"."   What exactly are the costs of inaction and, in the alternative, are there cheaper alternatives that involve less money, less government and less regulation?


Why hold a town meeting if childish Democrats who still can't come to grips with losing the presidential election will shout him down.


I go to this school and the new school is a good idea. I don't think you understand because the new school is run down and dusty, the roof is weirdly shaped and it was made by Californian architects. All the rain gathers on the roof and breaks the roof. We also don't have parking so cars have to even be on the grass. We don't have good technology etc. This is a school of 700 students and is so tiny. It's not a horrible thing so don't think that. Do you think us as students shouldn't have great tools and space to work in to get a better education?


That’s because they load em on military bases. And at least the pilots, not sure about the ground crews, have secrecy oaths. But don’t believe me, do your own research.


Not seeking punitive damages, so the likelihood of a big payday is slim.  Compensatory damages would be medical expenses and maybe lost wages if she missed any work.  If she suffered permanent damage there could be damages for the disability.

BTW, if you happen to get called for jury duty on this case, please disclose your prejudgment of the facts to the parties during selection.


once again, trump shows his unfitness to be president.

he has no idea what the fallout might be when he pulls stunts like this, and he doesn't care.

he can't see past the attention it gets him

sad


"People don't burn other people alive"
You need to acquaint yourself with autos da fe in Middle Ages Europe. Christians did precisely that to women accused of witchcraft, Jews who refused to convert, Christians who were accused of heresy (that is, they held beliefs the authorities didn't approve of), and others. After some Jews rejected Martin Luther's protestant Christianity as not being their cup of tea, Martin Luther suggested locking Jews in synagogues and setting the synagogues on fire.
If that's too ancient for you, only 30 years ago, Christians were raping and slaughtering Muslims in the former country of Yugoslavia.
Last year, Jews living in the West Bank burned down Arabs' houses and mosques, and in at least one house, the occupants were in it.
Terrorists are brutal. A lot of terrorists are Muslim. That does NOT make all Muslims dogs.
If a man from Arvada gets angry at his ex-wife and burns down her home with her in it, are all Arvadans to be considered dogs?


It's definitely "hell."

The hierarchs spend a lot of money through their media operation to get the favorable press they so crave.  That's YOUR money, we talking about.


Kinda like Obama and the 1000's he killed with bombs and special forces?
But never mentioned anywhere in lefty media
Obama had Korea - did nothing
Obama had Eastern Europe - did nothing
Obama had ISIS - did nothing

It goes on and on.
Or maybe the lack of engagement with ISIS and now it's explosive out of control growth which he was too afraid back then to address or maybe he had another agenda? Like being funded by his brothers in Qatar to let ISIS go batshit......

We now have to clean up this jerks mess.

It's only now when the left is threatened that it becomes something.
The never ending tiresome leftist rubbish
If we don't agree with them - they get angry and bratty
Grow up lefties
You lost

There you go again MSM.  "Trump's nearing presidency leaves a world of uncertainty"

There is no "uncertainty."  In fact, it will be certain for the first time in eight years.

Certain that:
- The US is not going to stand by and let flawed trade take their jobs
- Climate change scientists will have to defend their science, rather than just expect people to say it is true because they say it is true
- The US is going to stand up for its national interests - whether you be the PRC or Russia
- The US is going to develop a tax system that rewards business and people who work
- The US is going to abolish and re-invent a health insurance system that will not force people to buy health insurance plans they cannot afford and then cannot afford to use.

And it is certain that America is going to be great again!!!


I don't understand the reference to Nova Scotia. Random choice?


Thanks to a complete and utter lack of industrial policy in Canada over the last 30 years, this country has basically no sovereign defense industrial capabilities left, much less than samller countries such as Norway, Israel or Sweden. There is not a lot of political mileage to be gained by asking taxpayers to subsidize jobs in foreign countries.

"Hundreds of people turned out to the Toronto protest, some holding signs critical of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and demanding proportional representation."

Oh well........................

What most city bureaucrats refuse to acknowledge and understand is the cost of delays.  In the private investment world, 3 months is a long time.

I used to participate as a business volunteer in another community that met with business leaders that were contemplating locating a new facility in our community.  One of the primary questions of us was always how long will it take to get thru the bureaucracy so we can break ground.   We lost businesses because of that factor when other communities offered expedited permitting and cooperation.

It is a big deal for private investors due to the time value of money.  A public employee who is used to sitting on their butts with almost no consequence for delays in work has a hard time understanding why this is such a big deal to potential employers and other investors.

Perhaps all planners, permit approvers, etc. should be required to take financial coursework, and attend workshops with entrepreneurs to listen to investment priorities?


Why should Trump be treated any differently from other political leaders? It is the role of the Fifth Estate to dissect and criticize the people in power. What I can't get over is Trump's supposed naivete about this fact. After all he was the architect of Obama bashing and ridiculous claims that the President wasn't born in the US.


Put Sandusky in the cell with the two of them.


It is incongruous to associate the US Catholic Bishops so intimately with the agenda of Donald Trump. The Church has "bedded" with evil over the centuries to achieve or preserve its institutional advantage. We blithely think that those days were over or, at least, greatly diminished and modified. Modified to suit the age, yes. Diminished? Not at all.


I am getting the feeling that both the House and the Senate are too far apart to come to an agreement on funding the rail project.  If that's the case, there won't be a special session and Caldwell will be forced to either propose raising property taxes by double digits or they will do absolutely nothing and hope that the emperor's clothes update that they sent to the FTA with no funding secured this year will be sufficient enough to prevent the cancellation of the funding.


My understanding is that The terminology of 'substance' and 'accident' are terms developed by Aristotle. No doubt translated into a Latin 'substantia' and 'accidentia' -- but still Aristotle's concepts of what makes up  'reality'.

During the Crusades the West re-discovered Aristotle, whose writings had been preserved by the Muslim scholars. No doubt some of the other theologians of the time were fascinated with this 'new' philosophy.  St. Bonaventure and others still preferred their traditional Plato.

'Substantia' or 'substance', though –as far as I can figure out  is still just a mental 'category' for things. When do we call something a 'chair'. rather than a 'stool' or a 'couch'. It's 'what a thing is' in our mental classification.

Thomas applied it to Eucharist - what we called 'bread' is 'trans'-formed so that by faith we now call  it "'Presence of the Risen Glorified Jesus, whole and entire, body and blood, soul and divinity" as the Official Church Doctrine puts it.


Last I checked total government debt and unfunded liabilities was close to $68 trillion, or $208,000 per US citizen.

What a great legacy to leave to our kids, huh?


And that issue will kill the market.


It is disgusting to hear Florida Congresswoman Wilson take personal and political advantage of Sgt. David Johnson's death in Niger after eavesdropping on President Trump's condolence call to the widow. Where has common decency gone?


What has changed under Notley is a $10 billion dollar annual deficit, spent on paving and sidewalk replacements throughout the province. That will have to be paid for through personal taxes, not royalty windfalls.

What has changed is an Alberta now on the permanent defensive about its primary industry, after issuing a string of grovelling apologies to any and all anti-Alberta, anti-oil and gas industry fanatics, without a single thing to show for it in exchange.

And for the record, Alberta private enterprise, led by the oil and gas industry itself, has managed to scrape and claw its way back to tenuous profitability, using brutal cost cutting measures, without a single government nickel, federal or provincial. So as for your wishful thinking about things "getting worse" for Albertans, you'll just have to join the long line of disappointed anti-Alberta schadenfreuders who infest these boards.


Mostly about insurance, what this article didn't address is the higher cost of virtually every medical procedure in Alaska (compared U.S. generally).  Part of the higher cost is attributable to our small towns spread across vast distances, quashing hope of economies of scale.  Thus, no HMOs in AK.  But another part of the higher cost is that doctors, clinics and hospitals charge much more in Alaska than they could for the same procedure in the Lower 49.  Read T. R. Reed's The Healing of America, in which he describes other countries' systems where doctors cannot legally charge more than a set fee for a procedure.  Medicare comes close to that, but, until we have a single payer U.S. system, not everyone is on Medicare, so those who must buy insurance policies get shafted by the insurance companies, which make bank off of Alaskans.  Remember the recurring Medicare "fix" because AK's procedure costs exceed Medicare allowable costs by so much?  This article only addresses one aspect.


Remember Canada, Justin is doing this with no regard for the environment or human rights. He should not do any deals with China unless he forces them to reduce emissions. Any increased business we give them will result in increased manufacturing which will result in products being produced with a substantially higher carbon output. So Justin can penalise us with carbon taxes while this deal will actually increase overall carbon emissions.

He also continues to let the human rights issue go uncontested. Do we as Canadians really want to allow China unfettered access to our country and natural resources.


...and democrats, hopefully,  avail of some online courses in Economics 101.

Very true, Janet...and that is why some may feel federal recognition is an appropriate response (?) since Congress has ignored and been ignorant of the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act of 1920.

It has been hard to get the state to provide state resources to DHHL even though this is their kuleana to do so since statehood, and punctuated in the state's constitution since 1978.


What "Envision Eugene" comprises can be hard to pin down. The 18 recommendations were affirmed by the larger Envision Eugene "Community Resource Group". To some degree some of them are reflected in the March 2, 2011 draft proposal, a descriptive document that City Council "approved." The formal "adoption" package is the legally-binding stuff and is in draft stage, and the public review and adoption process has not been initiated.

The Arabs started the slave trade.  In Spain the Sultan needed slaves to build the Alhambra and other buildings...lets not omit some historical facts because you don't like them!


Oh yes, Mr. Haxby, Trump is a hero for fighting against his "foe" and fake ne...wait a minute. That's some strong BS there Haxby.  Haven't you left out a few things?

Wikileaks, Russia, Trump's campaign colluding with Russia and Assange, not to mention some in the FBI and more.  As for Hillary Clinton being a "poor candidate " and "checkered past":  Are you saying that Trump's past is squeaky clean?  As for being a poor candidate: I guess she just wasn't a good enough, non-stop liar like Trump.  Aside from working her ass off for the American people for decades, she was knowledgeable, competent and had been unjustly harassed by right wing nuts for her entire time in public service.  You, like so many Trump Chumps don't have the brains or integrity to appreciate her hard work on your behalf. You'll all spoiled children who are mad at mommy, so you ran away to the Lie-Lie Land invented by a self-aggrandizing, lying, completely incompetant clown, weekend-warrior president, Trump.


Weird story. Makes no sense. Pass.


I really hate reading articles such as this one.  Instead of allowing Mr. Twit and his white supremacist shadows run good people off the job site, the reverse needs to happen and happen quick.


'Nuance, not force, will get nukes out of North Korea'

Sure. Let millions of people rely for their lives on your opinion.


"The claim that this issue is about Christian values is a huge canard."

Exactly.  We must always remember that Jesus said, "Send those Samaritans back to Samaria, where they belong."


Read and Comprehend the article justmyview_371, "The transaction still requires regulatory approvals from the Federal Communications Commission, Hawaii Public Utilities Commission and State Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs."

Most ignorant Demonrats at the 3rd World Demonrat State of Hawaii, have no idea how to successfully manage a Business, Company, Corporation.   There is a long list of Failed Demonrat Businesses, Companies, Corporations as Bankruptcy Closures, Bankruptcy Liquidations, Mergers then Closures at the 3rd World Demonrats Anti Business, Anti Company, Anti Corporation Demonrat State of Hawaii.

Forgot to mention you might want to look up who the Majority Stockholders are.

(sarcasm) Thanks Hawaii Demonrats for F___king Hawaii Citizens again, with your anti Hawaii Citizens Actions.  Obamacare needs to provide a 4 pound jar of KY Jelly or Vasoline a Year so U.S. Citizens a holes don't hurt as much.


No, he's a liar not a journalist.


By creating the power vacuum that allowed ISIS to become the power it is today, yes, he essentially created many of the refugees we see today. But you could care less about facts, right?


The question more pressing is, why did millions of Christians in the USA recently vote for an anti-Christianity atheist. Why did USA Christians hate and detest the only two presidential candidates (Jimmy Carter and Bernie Sanders) in the past 50 years who followed the teachings attributed to Jesus?


UH is not a similar institution.  UH is far superior and is tasked with teaching, public service and adding to the world's store of knowledge through research.  Faculty in all fields are expected to research and publish in their field.  UH is critical to Hawaii's economy.  HPU's rivals are BYU and Chaminade but they are rated much higher than hpu according to the annual rating of universities posted by SA.


If any US President can simply be blocked by the deep state, then the US is not free at all, and its elections are meaningless. The establishment does not tolerate any leader's deviation from the status quo. It is liberal authoritarianism masquerading as democracy. There is an illusion of choice when in reality there is none.


We are doomed as a province as we have given the decision making process to malcontents. We have forgotten in the age of apologies and forgiveness what made us successful.  A hint it is not letting special interest groups make bad decisions on behalf of the province.  In our hatred of  all things past including proper governance we have become an indebted social assistance addicted do nothing jurisdiction.


It is fairly  difficult to determine if a person has multiple accounts if those accounts do not use a common item such as an email address.  You can easily set up an number of email accounts on the free sites such as Yahoo and Google.  Then use those accounts to get you user id's from the ADN.  With those accounts and multiple window you can move from one window to another and post as different accounts.  It not quite that easy but it can be done by anyone who is willing to spend some time getting it set up.


I think it's pretty clear that adding a homeless shelter will increase our homeless population by attracting more homeless, just as our abundant free meals, laundry, clothes and park camping have already done. The real question is how we manage to house people who need shelter and have no means of obtaining it without bringing ever more bums to town to drink, shoot up and defecate in our parks.

Perhaps I'm overly optimistic, but I think it can be done. Of course we will need to make a serious financial commitment (perhaps foregoing a city hall for a decade and charging city staff for parking), but if we fund several hundred shelter beds and simultaneously provide substance abuse treatment, job training and enforce our laws (yes, jail beds), we might just make Eugene inhospitable for bums while housing those in need who aren't predators or parasites.

Unfortunately, our clown car city council seems determined to add a tiny shelter in an already dense homeless area. Failure guaranteed.


Thank you, Don!  So appropriate to mark the passing yesterday of Patricio Flores, our first Mexican-American bishop, whose cathedral (and the funerary urn of Davy Crockett) are located right across the street.  A tip of the tail on my ol' coonskin cap to you!


The concept of free speech has reasonable limits.  Yelling "fire" in a crowded theatre is one such limit.

Another reasonable limit applies to foreign nationals seeking to whip up political dander among an expatriate population.

Unless we want immigration to be capable of being confused with some form of aggressive invasion (which is being redefined by the moment), and thereby invite even more legitimate fears that would hinder the flow of legitimate immigration, we have to accept that foreign agitators have absolutely no right to address a gathering of their compatriots in another jurisdiction.

This is where we need a good-fences-make-good-neighbours policy.  The fact that a soaring megalomaniac like Erdogan is the instigator in this case should provide an extra alert that this is not a legitimate free speech issue.


Columbus Day is considered an Italian holiday because it was pushed by Italian immigrants at the turn to the century in an effort to assimilate as Americans.


We know that his desperate fans will be arriving soon to deny the reality of your informative comment. They're funny that way.


I think you'll find very few that's "making light" of the organization. There are a few people from every group that are idiots and can't see value where there is value. Ignore them because they are insignificant and by giving a response or comment, it only feeds their stupidity encouraging them to make more comments. Focus on the positive, kind of like the organization is doing, and keep moving forward.  Looking back only gives people a sore neck and keeps you from avoiding obstacles in front of you.  I applaud them for their effort to promote youth to become better members of society. It helps all of us regardless of our race/ethnic background.


You must be referring to Jeff Flake. McCain isn't up for re-election until 2022.

We must acknowledge, though, that McCain's medical status may well have more to say about the future of his career than the Senate election cycle.


John Havelock's selective liberalism is rather laughable and somewhat funny considering that he is listed as an "university scholar" at the bottom. He gave American football "few more years" but simple fact is, violence in sports, sells and Havelock's view of non violence in sport is only left of the Lord of the Rings. People boxed out their own choice. People played football out of choice. Everyone got a choice. There are many sports and activities that are literally life or death. Now Mr. Havelock want take that away due to chance of long term injuries?? Bit silly. If Mr. Havelock want to put safety bumpers all around, let him do so at his home. By the way, Mr. Havelock, driving a vehicle injured and killed more people each day then boxing and football combined for an entire year. Banning driving will save so much lives......but yet you are too hypocritical to advocate that, eh?


I tip because the extra bit of money is not significant to me and may be very significant to the person receiving it.  Twenty bucks can go a long way in some places.  I especially tip the chambermaids - that is really tough work they do and I think they are often forgotten.


No, just plain no.  Of course they made their conclusion on drug use and alcoholism fit the definition of a disease, otherwise they couldn't get the funding.  If you get in a car wreck and it changes the functions of the organs or the brain, is the car wreck then a disease also?


Every animal I've ever shared my life with has been incredibly friendly and sweet.  Of course I don't use them, abuse them, treat them like inanimate objects or fleshy alarm systems, beat them, leave them out in the freezing cold--you know, the way a lot of people in Alaska do.  Try a little tenderness:  It goes a long way. ,


“We aren’t winning,” Trump complained, as quoted. “We are losing.”


You have kahoneys to say posters here are ignorant of state finances.  Not so. We were ignorant to trust people like you who said they could understand finances and elected them to do the job.


We also need a school board that will rebuild the district so as to help our kids, but also to improve our house values.

The fact is, that nearly all buyers of homes in douglas county will be looking at the public schools and our district. Prior to the kock bros selection of the board, we ranked in the top 7 or even 5 districts in the state. Now, we are at 19 or in the 20s. Basically, we are falling fast due to the current board.


It's all about growing the liberal voting base and growing a dependent class of people who will support the ruling elites' goal of growing government. All the while the ruling elites enrich themselves through their power of controlling where taxpayer money is spent.


Only 3%.

And yet look at how this issue, already, consumes us.

Dougie Saunders has made a career out of writing these finger wagging, tut-tut articles.

But when you dig into the real numbers, one stark fact stands out.

The only way that Muslims will not become a majority in Canada within this century, is if they start having smaller families. Much smaller.

You don't believe me?  Look around you. Ask your Muslim co-workers how many children they have.

I had a taxi ride from downtown Calgary this past holiday season. The taxi driver, bearing a Muslim name, said he had 7 children. Another on the way. OK, anecdotal.

Perhaps you do not mind the prospect of Canada being a Muslim majority nation within 80 or 90 years. Perhaps, like my European forebears, generation 2 will have fewer kids. But then of course, those immigrant forebears of mine were farmers and ranchers, not urbanites.

Perhaps this, perhaps that.

Just recline back in your LaZBoy and let the hockey game wash over you.


Nope. He seems like a scared, angry guy who is acting out of fear.


Sorry, I don't take seriously posts from whites who claim to be this or that--"Indian", etc.--to try and "validate" themselves and their claims they're "not racist".  They routinely claim to belong to the very group they disparage.  While I actually have encountered "Stockholm syndrome" in one Samoan with whom I debated about the war in Iraq (he was a son of an innkeeper on Tutu'ila, and he'd been ruined by both the US military and the CCC of American Samoa), I generally regard such claims as attempts to hide from well-deserved censure by more reasonable people.  In the albeit unlikely event your claim is accurate, it's even worse--what Mexicans refer to as "la mosqa en leche" syndrome--i.e. identifying with those who walk on you in an attempt to salvage an illusion of self-respect.


Yeah...teaching in public schools is a total cash cow. Lol...oh and all those liberals pledge allegiance to the flag, with sincerity, every morning with the kids. The vast majority are from white middle class backgrounds - so not your standard America-hatin' radicals.


I firmly believe in the benefits of blueberries but I don't understand the concentrate approach.   Blueberries are widely available and relatively cheap with 600 gram frozen packs going for $5 or $6.  This amount would easily last an individual a week.   Blueberries are by far the best and cheapest superfood.

Why buy blueberries in anything other than their whole food, natural form??  Extracts are processed and more expensive.   Buy frozen or from Chile over most of the year and then go to pick your own farms for 6 weeks in the summer for la creme de la creme.

Cheers,
John Meyer


how is yours not an absurd comment when the only abuse perpetuated was by the arrogant, angry, and newly emboldened con who's now facing charges for it? this reporter was properly conducting himself while working for us, the exponentially marginalized citizenry, and abusing him or other reporters should be a felony, and in this instance, equal to a hate crime. how dare you castigate this or any peaceable, professional, and necessary member of the press, especially regarding this insanity!


This is all Harper's fault!


I am sure the NFL cares.  I stopped watching a few years ago when a game took 4 hours to complete.  This is a sixty minute game not a 240 minute game.  TV is destroying itself with so much advertising.

As for honoring the flag, the players are honoring the flag by opposing cops killing young black men.  When cops kill young black men they are not honoring the flag nor the country.


Yeah right. How many assaults have happened because of this silly sign. The perpetually offended.


jerry69, Maybe Judge Watson didn't follow your principles, but he followed Constitutional principles, as he emphasized at the start of the hearing.


Legislating incompetence is not the answer. This is akin to saying, "Well, there were no signs to tell me that I shouldn't jump off a cliff, but... ". If you it looks dangerous and you don't have the proper experience, equipment, guide.. then don't do it. If you decide against that basic logic, then don't go looking to blame local government for not giving you proper warning.


We've got thousands of square miles of perfectly legal places to camp. They just don't happen to be in the prime real estate that holds our city parks. One also does not have the right to trash the place no matter where. Unfortunately, our bums, emboldened by the friends of homelessness, can't be bothered to carry their rubbish to our plentiful garbage cans and they often aren't even toilet trained.

As someone who has picked up and disposed of more trash from homeless people than I have generated myself (by a factor of over five), I'm fresh out of sympathy for these parasites. Every ne camp that is sanctioned brings us ever more theft, ever more trash in our public space and ever more human feces in our parks, streets and yards. Time to bring back chain gangs.


Everyone so related their. "Come on cuz, I no li arrest u, we one party tonite at yo uncle house." "He gone scold me yeah?"


That is not the story I am referring to.  Facebook took money from Russians to place election advertisements against Democrats.  And that is a fact.

"No one has high confidence that the U.S. missile defence system would have anything approaching 100 per cent accuracy in shooting down incoming missiles."

Correct me if I'm wrong but to date the only successful anti-missile tests have come when the defenders have plenty of warning and the missile's trajectory is known in advance.  So, in reality, nobody has the slightest idea whether these things will work in real world conditions.  That's a lot less than "100 per cent accuracy."


The city actually covered up the graffiti, without asking or telling anyone. Also- the owner of the businesses in question is NOT the owner of the building. Writer needs to get her facts straight and should have a moral obligation to report the truth. This does not appear to be the most valid journalism.


. “While immigration should not be based on race or creed,” the Blue Book declared, neither “should it be explicitly designed to radically or suddenly alter the ethnic makeup of Canada, as it increasingly seems to be.”

It is remarkable that the above statement was then, and would be now, toxic to a political career when it ought to be the absolute right of a sovereign nation to decide on such a policy.


I would have a lot more trust and confidence in the outcome with my doctor!!!!!


I'm no fan of Maher, but would it be better if Al Sharpton spent more energy going after a bigger fish, like reducing gang violence?


Ethereum is grinding lower now as more people figure out its not a store of value like Bitcoin is. There is no limit to the amount of Ethereum that could be created.


Yes, Daryl Williams,  thanks for posting this article. Not only should Trump read it - so should Barry McKenna and the other Globe writers who support the destruction of supply-management in Canada but never talk about the downside or do any real analysis. They just repeat all the cliches they were taught in Economics 101 all those years ago.


Now this MAN traitor can use the same bathroom as your little girl. HE is free thanks to obama.


The good general Kelly has been infected by trumpinitis.  Symptoms include a total disregard for history, a tendency to lie and distort, an urgent need to blame others and never say you're sorry or admit mistakes.  Without proper treatment, usually in the form of an extended vacation, the condition will worsen and become chronic in nature.


Hockey is a business, and shouldn't be treated like the arts.

Why doesn't Imperial Oil demand that Calgary pay for a new building? They can make the same arguments.


Just so, so very unfounded.


I'm fine with citra hops, but agree that the trend chasing at breweries can lead to a lot of sameness when there should be an absurd level of variety.

You decry the system that routinely tops the List of Happiest Countries?  I only lived in Scandinavia a year, but I had no sense of this lack of freedom you are imagining, nor having been surrounded by autobots or crushing weight of an oppressive state.  They are as individual as we are, and enjoy things like free education, decent health care for all, fantastic public transportation, and a nimble and inventive social system that won't let anyone have to hit rock bottom.  Also their numerous political parties prevent politicians and innovation from stagnating like ours has.  Have you noticed how bad capitalism is at a number of these things?  It is because capitalism is a system that revolves around money and how citizens can provide that, and their system revolves around their citizenry and how money can benefit them.  You seem to presume that the US has discovered some kind of utopian paradise that can't be had any other way, but I suggest that your measuring stick is rather small.


It would be reasonable, although I was posting to point out the illiteracy of the Register-Guard reporter. The story has since been corrected, although the Register Guard never posts that stories have been updated at a particular time, it just acts as if nothing happened. The last paragraph remains nonsensical journalistically.


Hank,

Have I got your attention, Hank?

OK, here's a little tip.

You've been deluded. Led astray, fed a fantasy.

Try reading books, put down the remote,  turn off the radio.


Trudeau has values ?


"Demand fuels Toronto house prices, not lack of supply, study finds" " but the shortage is not fundamentally a supply problem but one driven by an imbalance caused by speculative demand in Toronto’s market, which is fuelling rampant price increases and a market bubble that will inevitably burst. : Globe and Mail March 13/17

"There’s only one way to fix the housing bubble"  “There isn’t going to be a housing bust.” That’s because there’s a big shortage of the kind of housing people want to buy. “It’s wholly a supply problem.”... : Globe and Mail March 27 /17

so, this article directly contradicts recent articles saying the opposite

so how about this as a simple test....a punishing speculation tax applied on top of a 100% ban on foreign ownership of property unconnected to residency criteria.

It'll only take a short while to determine which position is more accurate in its view regarding what's actually going on...

If there is any good news anywhere, I think the moment is fast approaching if not already here when more and more realize that the emperor is wearing no clothes, when he will be able to fool fewer people all the time.  He is preparing his own exit with his crazy twits.


There's a difference between being prejudiced and grievance based on bitter experience.  Just sayin'.


British newspapers are outraged over his firing, and are saying that a white woman accused  Halls of being a racist, after overhearing him privately joke with an African American friend of his: the famous singer Reginald Mobley.   Mobley himself, made no complaint at all.

What a terrifying environment exists at the U of O.   Sounds just as frightening as the world described in the novel 1984

Our country appears to have gone insane since the Charlottesville protests.  The hysteria of 1692 Salem, Massachusetts has returned to our nation.

Sorry - you did not understand what he said.  Even opponents described Roe as based upon SCOTUS finding in the Constitution justification for female privacy rights that extend to an abortion decision.  Some explain this as *equal* protection since males have complete privacy rights when it comes to medical decisions.  You may disagree but let's not make up a *strange statement*.


What are you talking about? Their clothes were from American designers.


Ogling and rape are two different issues. Who are you defending?


Harper is gone.

Let it go.

Live in the present.


Thanks Jason!!!  I voted for you and I am counting on you to brighten Alaska's future!!


So Nortel did produce something good besides a failed cheating company. Good on these lads for using their entrepreneurial skills and making something useful. The name Instant Pot does conjure up  a different product though - now if they could add "pot "recipes they will strike gold !


There's no tables turning,

that's just your anterior lobe acting up again.


The CBC does not produce or pay for Schitt's Creek; they simply add it to their disastrous schedule of licensed programming. Schitt's Creek could be uploaded to YouTube. Canadians have already paid for it via the New Media Fund and should be allowed to stream it commercial free. Schitt's Creek has nothing to do with the CBC. The CBC "broadcasts" content they do not own and did not create in some sort of elaborate scheme to justify their annual $1.2 billion hand-out from Canadian taxpayers.


#53 in the world after nearly a decade under the ACA. Interesting.


looks like the fair value of Canadian dollar is less than 80 cents on the dollar.  In other words, that's what Canadian labours worth.


Trump Tried To Take All the Credit For ISIS Defeat

Trump tried to take personal credit,  not mentioning the contributions made by our military, many who are on the ground fighting, the foreign forces fighting, or the coordination with our allies that cut off both funds and recruitment for ISIS.

In the mind of this incredibly infantile man, he did it all by himself.

It has to be pointed out that Trump only continued a policy that President Obama initiated.

Again, like all Trump's claims of accomplishments, Trump tries to take credit for something he had absolutely nothing to do with.


PFD meaning permanent fund if you didnt know. I want the mineral rights back that was givin up on my land for this PERMANENT FUND DIVIDEND


I hate tRUMP, he's a filthy disgusting pig!


Wow, Hawaii needs competent attorneys.  The island is full of dud lawyers who would be better at mowing the yards and staying out of court.  Poho!


The rural satellite campuses have 1/3 of all the students, generate 1/2 of all credit hours, and cost 1/10 of the UA budget.  The rural campuses are the most efficient, AND people in those communities the first rung on the ladder to higher education.


Bdpapa,  the something, is the bleeding of the taxpayers monies. when you are in a hole, you stop digging and find a way out.


I found an article describing the mechanism of action of these massive "fuel-air" bombs: (Wikipedia)  "A thermobaric weapon is a type of explosive that utilizes oxygen from the surrounding air to generate an intense, high-temperature explosion. .... They are considerably more destructive when used against field fortifications such as foxholes, tunnels, bunkers, and caves—partly due to the sustained blast wave, and partly by consuming the available oxygen inside."  Please note that they "consume the available oxygen inside" - which makes the weapon's actions similar to poison gas that suffocates the victims.


Warren Keogh....you forgot to mention a moron as well. Get your facts completely in order or you'll be called a liberal shill.


It's a tangent, but I really think the "bequest boom" might be over-stated.

In general, baby boomers are probably going to live longer than their forebears. And this is great news! But health care and general elder care are INCREDIBLY expensive and will probably only become more expensive over time. That is going to eat up a lot of this potential wealth transfer.

I also think that a huge portion of that wealth to be bequeathed, at least in Canada, is related to real estate. I'm not sure how much of it will remain as the social costs from housing unaffordability mount and governments are forced to address the inequities created by their policies in this area.

Though the future will surely continue to bring forth other ways to improve our lives, people might simply have less wealth that needs managing. Maybe financial firms will simply be less relevant long-term.


let me guess...Dembo and Star would like to see SMG take over the management of the McDonald Center?

Hmmmm...the only state owned ice arena in town charges nearly half the price/hour as all the muni rinks and you wonder why prime ice is being left unused at the city rinks? Price it fairly and it will be utilized. Dembo, Star, while you still have your audit and ice books open, let's also look into the confilct of interest that currently exists between the cities only privately owned rink, it's major tenants and the SMG Boeke/Dempsey arena manager. Everyone using a city owned rink is being forced to subsidize the profits for the only privatly owned rink in town! Letting a privately run rink dicate the price the public has to pay for a city owned/operated facility is just wrong! $400/hr is highway robery and backroom politics!


Fox has the story  ... G and M and CBC will have it next week


Apples Oranges False Equivalencies oh my!


"..which was to protect the institutional church"
So Pope F. all his clergies are 'company men' who are willing to go 'burn in hell' for the CI!  What a pity!!!

We, the laities should teach these sick CI clergies!   LOLOLOL!


The 10 year multi-entry visitors visa has become a de facto residency program coincidentally timed with the runup in price and demand in both Vancouver and Toronto. Over a million of these visas have been issued to one country alone - China.
You can live here, buy as many houses as you like, send your kids to school, avail yourself of all community amenities, and bonus, you do not have to report or pay tax on your overseas income.
Add in local speculators and  ramped up immigration programs, student visas, TFWs, provincial nominees, investor immigrant programs, and the sky is the limit for demand for our homes.


That's what I'm wondering and we need more details. If the owner came outside and caught the guy breaking into his car and shot him, it seems like a case of excessive force on the a part of the owner. Is a car or the property in it worth a person's life? That is debatable but quickly leads down a slippery slope so no point even going there.


Maybe it's much more than the Religion itself but of the followers who take the written words to the next level without care of human life. idk, just thinking here on idle time


All propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate itself to the comprehension of the least intelligent of those whom it seeks to reach.

Why pick on Facebook? Fake news is now a staple of the major news outlets.


FWW - what are you talking about?
"First, Khadr's country was invaded by the US and allies " -

You must be talking about 1812, because that is the last time the US invaded Canada. Or are you actually trying to say he wasn't a Canadian? If so, I am all for that and therefore what happened over there/Gitmo doesn't qualify him any protection under the CANADIAN Charter of Rights/Freedoms.


He did say that he is going to look into voter fraud, so what's the problem now? That he does what he said?


"Why don't we address the issue of over-federalization?"

Congratulations! Full marks for originality.


If you can see the melodrama in your comment, then maybe you can begin to see the point in mine.  Climate changes, so what?  It has been changing for centuries.  Make adjustments as we need to, but do not get alarmist over it.   The sky is not falling.   Get over the excitement.

"I don't understand why a return to the 1958 liturgy would be an artificial and selective reconstruction?"
It shouldn't be.  At least not if a return the some selectively-imaged Second or Third Century liturgy wasn't considered such when updating the mass post-Vatican II.


Uh, the rich also benefit from a myriad of tax dodges that Average ol' Joe doesn't. The rich also disproportionately serve in the military. They also hide their money offshore. They also make the decisions to ship jobs overseas.
I hope you're rich to so love that class. If not, have you ever asked yourself why you do? Is wealth something to instill shock and awe?
Note: I am not unsuccessful, and I would like to see a healthy jump in taxes for the successful. Without the system beneath them, the wealthy would have paper and metal, that's all.


The left will use Mr. Trump far more times than President  Trump


It's amazing how fast this guy slaughtered his credibility. I guess that's what happens when you work for trump.


Sadly yes, them too. And the sedevacationists.


Woodrow Wilson was born in Virginia and raised  in Augusta, Georgia and Columbia, South Carolina. He was 20 the first time he went north of the Mason-Dixon line. Mr "Nazi Germany allowed conscientious objection to conscription" shows his ignorance of history again.


Cute story. I live in oz and the mere thought of driving an electric vehicle around this big, empty, hot continent which is the same size as mainland USA, is frightening.


The concept of economic anger is interesting but we need some data to establish its existence. The article in The Walrus doesn't do this. It just mentions "economic anger" once.
People should be angry that a decent and secure life is now available to only the top 20% or so of the population. That anger should drive them to become politically active. Instead, people live in denial, borrowing money to live the life that they think they deserve. Easy credit, easy bankruptcy, little consequence. Harsh lessons not learned.
If writers want us to empathize with the plight of young modest-income people, they need to find us some examples of people diligently trying to live within their means. Stories like that of Kervin and Kyra are easily dismissed as entitlement and fecklessness.


If regular confession works for you, that's great. Don't assume it works as well for everyone else.


Lars, thank you for one of the most reasoned comments I've seen at the adn.


You are very civil but completely wrong in your economic scenario.   How does keeping private sector capitol in the private sector hurt the majority of individuals who live and work in the private sector to make a living?   This class warfare is so ludicrous. Please study the 20th Century communist economies or in this Century Venezuela to discover that after the people eat their rich, their government officials get fat as they slowly starve to death.  It doesn't work every time it is tried.


Beyond the water pollution have you folks ever driven past the Climax mine area?  Destruction for miles around.  I never understand how a private company is allowed to rape and pillage public land like that - it's disgusting.  Same goes for that Henderson Mine but there the damage is hidden in that valley up to the let as you start up Berthoud Pass.  The Henderson operation has destroyed an entire mountain and TWO adjacent valleys.  JustlLook at the damage from satellite views - very sad.


We all know Trump is a serial liar. This incident was true to his nature.


Denver looked good. The QB looked surprisingly good.  But remember, Prescott is a young quarterback who now has a history on film that can be studied and picked apart.  So a nice win, but perhaps not a signature win quite yet.  The Chiefs, Patriots and Raiders still loom large as potential tests.  If I'm not mistaken, NE will actually venture to mile high later this regular season.


Excellent article. I'm going.


Guess what? They all have to abide by local zoning. That's how most business works.


Exactly what have I been paying for the past 31 years on the house that I have lived in during that period?  31 years X $ 6,000 = $ 186,000


thank you. right back at ya, sister.


Bunch of prima donnas on this team, they need to step up and start playing some football!


Mr. LoPresti:
It seems you stuck your head in door of this room where a pie fight was raging. Now voters appear to be asking questions. Will you respond?


The conversation over just how much it is going to cost to operate and maintain this rail system is rarely ever heard and when it is discussed it is only in the vaguest terms. This will be much more expensive than projected as well. Sometimes being an adult means simply saying that we cannot to afford to buy it.


I'm a non-partisan.  As long as I am I will be a minority.


Your screams for help from your Progressive Psychosis are heard!
Hope you get the help you need.


incompetent crooks.


Junior is embarassing remember he also left the country when he gave our tax $$$ to Khadr.  I was glad to see Brian Lily and Conservative Kempel on Fox News telling the world how outraged 71% of us are.


Anderson, That is unrealistic. Because one becomes a legislator doesn't mean one cannot have cordial relations with others. What if a legislator is invited to a friends home for dinner and the dinner conversation turns to politics? What if a lobbyist offers meals to relatives of legislators? This holier than thou attitude we espouse for legislators is nonsense. Of course direct payments (bribes) and gifts are off limits, but a social setting to present one’s case is reasonable. Isn’t it a bit ironic that you would outlaw meals of any kind yet labor unions can contribute thousands of dollars to political campaigns? Don’t you think the labor unions expect a quid pro quo for their money?


Hello? To tweet that the press is the "enemy of the American people" goes way beyond simple criticism. This was a fascistic condemnation of the power of a free press from the highest office in the land. If you're not worried by such paranoia you are asleep or a fellow traveller.


I couldn't "see" that happening.


Love begets love. Hatred begets hatred. Belligerence begets belligerence. 'Humanities ancient dilemma.' The only thing that's changed is the technology that media uses to brings it too us.


dar: not a word in defence of scheer? I understand the difficulty  but surely someone who knows him well enough to call him 'Andrew' should be able to find SOMEthing.
And keep going on the anti-Trudeau thing. It worked so well for your party in the last election. You need positives, not negatives, to win and the cpc wouldn't know a positive if it gave them a hickey.
BTW, if you know some way 'Gerry' (you love name-dropping, doncha?) would pass me a few bucks, let me know. But I'm willing to post about scheer for free - it's fun and easy to do. Unlike your problem with finding something good to say about him.


Private profits, socialized losses.

You knew what these people were about when you elected them, folks...


Coming from you, thats a badge of honor!


It is outdated that Healthcare should be a Provincial responsibility.

This is not and should not be a partisan issue.   This will take a generation to fix.   But the bottom line is that our current system is unsustainable.

Anybody who values "socialized medicine" has to think really hard about the current delivery system.    Eg:  Why, IF Canadians are all entitled to same standard of free healthcare, should a person in Nova Scotia be under the care of a doctor who answers to a totally different set of standards, fee schedule, etc vs a person in Alberta?

Why do we need a separate billing, record keeping, payment, and administration for every Province?

Canada currently has 11 separate health bureaucracy fiefdoms when only one is necessary.   This is a huge waste of money and the most inefficient way to administer healthcare to a country of only 35 million.

It is long past the time to re-open the Constitution so that future generations will not be stuck with the current mess.


Fishing is hot today!  Gotta throw another one back.  Small fry.

Glad you enjoyed the bait.


Cut per capita spending to what it was pre oiled and we can talk about it.
Until that happens career politicians such as yourself should polish up the resumes and start looking for other work because you're not worth anything to the public.


Election influencing by other countries happens all the time. They do it, we do it. Obama influenced the Brexit vote, the election in Israel. I'm I to believe the many in Colorado didn't know who they were going to vote for until the Russian influenced them? Colorado voted for Hillary so if the system was scanned it was scanned for Hillary.


I wonder if it would work to say something flagrant that would catch Civil Comments' attention -- and also include a "Hey, editors! Your subhead and second paragraph are messed up!" message.


My dog loved driving in the F-150 with me and her smell never bothered me a bit considering that I often reeked of diesel or other oilfield aromas. Daisy tolerated my smell and I tolerated hers.

By the time that I retired and no longer carried my previous aromas Daisy had also aged and didn't seem to get into the predicaments that caused her previous dog smells. I have had two new F-150s since my retirement and Daisy happily traveled with me in the first new truck. Daisy has since died and never did get a ride in my current F-150.

I kept the old F-150 to use for the tough, dirty jobs around my place and I can still smell Daisy (and diesel) whenever I drive the old truck.


Courtview reveals quite a history including sex abuse of a minor, he would have been incarcerated a long time and with that charge would have had problems with both inmates and staff so they most likely would have kept him in adm seg, so he may have decided it was not worth continuing to live.


Very well said, You Gotta B Kidding.


nice try at deflection.  She is a liar and no matter how many times you say she is not does not change the fact.  She lies, denies and blames others.


dang volcanoes


Apparently feminist "theologians" or commentators know much more about the mind of God than did Jesus Himself.
It seems a silly exercise to me to change the lyrics to match one's ill-conceived concept of a gendered God counter to all Scriptural and Doctrinal references to Him as Father, King, etc. despite the fact that the Church has always understood that Father is not a gendered identity but a relationship.  It's an exercise in idolatry.
I will say that WRT "Holy God We Praise Thy Name" that goddess fits the measure better than "Go-od", but in the second verse you are still left with the problem of making a two syllable word stretch for three notes; "Fa-ah-ther" and the proposed "Mo-uh-ther".


No.
It's you.


Quick Jughead and Climate Barbie: raise my taxes and save those polar bears!


I left the Church immediately after the promulgation of Humanae Vitae, by Pope Paul VI.  A major error on his part and just one of many examples of the misogyny of the clerical overclass.


Kevin donates to ADN like Trump donates to charities...


"an online media outlet/propaganda machine/moneymaking scheme that borrows language and tactics from the dodgier corners....."
Wow, I could of sworn this media outlet was talking about itself and its own extremist views.
Regressives, ops, "progressives" hold a rally, destroy property and that is ok, because you know, they are "progressives" demonstrating for the betterment of society. A conservative group holds a peaceful rally just  trying to promote what they believe in for the betterment of society but it is a "ugly populist uprising." Seriously Globe? President Trump is right, the MSM has become nothing but fake news. Nobody believes you anymore other than your own groupies that you are an unbiased news outlet. Such a sad state for modern journalism.


A house blowing up or not is not a matter of tolerance or intolerance.   It is completely unrelated.

I see you love dance on the bodies of the dead to further a political point.    As usually is the case it's completely unrelated to the dead bodies you are dancing all over in your rush to make political hay.


Honestly peeps; where exactly would the path of this alternate road go? Sure, go around Kaena, too late it's a Bird Sanctuary, go over or around the mountains...Through grandma's house, and who's back yard in Nana's or Maili or Makakilo? Just use Google Earth, there ain't no path left unless you plan on uprooting entire neighborhoods!  The problem is population density! Too many people double stacking in homes on the Westside because the cost of rent and/or homes are still some what affordable to most working class citizens. Just my 2 nickels for the day!


Southwest is coming.......get ready HA to get bachi for all your greedy ways.


Cher,

You can also post pics of bees and any other sort of insect on my Facebook page ~ https://www.facebook.com/buggingyoufromSJI/. I'm happy to identify and answer questions about insects there.


Bow,
A lot of smart looking cars and SUVs will arrive in 2018 and 2019. Audi is an example of a legacy car manufacturer that will be introducing lots of new and attractive EV vehicles with 500km ranges.

I get entertainment from the whiny liberals who cannot accept they lost. That pretty much sums it up. It is certainly not for the propaganda, fake and biased news. Do you yourself feel they are biased? Do you feel they are fair and honest? Just curious what you thought are?


"exploitation, enslavement, and evitable destruction of the Earth, Abzu, and atmosphere alike"

It's not possible to have an intelligent conversation with someone who's entire thought process is one hyperbole after another.


Nothing like a little quiet and thought to clear our the misinformation that often takes root when one is running among electronic media events.


My guess is that they are being cautious with the detailed investigation information since early release might prejudice jury selection in the civil actions that I believe will follow. Once subpoenaed and becoming part of testimony, the details will become public record.


Do you agree with the President's statement?  A difficult yes or no for you, it appears.


I am an avid iPad user and read eBooks all the time.  But, there are time when I just want to go to the library, just to browse and find books that aren't on the eBook list.  Plus, I love to browse the magazine shelves, look at newspapers, and look at Cd's I can borrow.  Then, there are the children's book my grand-kids love, as well seeing people who don't have access to computers using the ones in the library.  I don't go as often as I used to, but I still treasure our libraries.  And, even in the face of the on-line onslaught, the staff is still super.

Further, I have to disagree with Bernie, 600.  The Abbotsford, BC Library still has study or quiet rooms, and the staff are there to help.  I have gone there to work on university papers when I couldn't focus at home, then had to fight the urge to browse.

Libraries Forever!!


Don't read much is what you are trying to tell us Malcolm?


Excellent article Ms. Page.


Could you imagine if they drained the swap in Ontario, the out cry would be heard all the way the China.


It has EVERYTHING to do with his criticism of this Governor.  Where was Roger on fixing the fiscal issues?  "Trust tax cuts and Exxon..."  This article is a cartel hit piece by a historic industry shill.


I believe the talking point phrase you're looking for is, "You're either with us or against us."
Scandalous when first used to suppress accountability in a democratic country.
And ridiculous now knowing how it was used the first time.
What next, attacks on those who mention root causes for today's events?


It wasn't on purpose and I know by facts not assumptions! There were more than just the two of them in the car that night whose lives hve been changes! As a community we need to help these young men rebuild their lives! Believe me I wish my nephew had the choice of rebuilding his life but I did know my nephew well enough that this young man was his friend and it's not just an excuse that it was an avoidant because it was! Gun violence is ramped in our community and ha changes our family forever all I ask from him is that he do the most to make better choices moving forward and those other young men in the car that night because that night changes the fiber of each one of them! I am just thankful to know the truth about what happened to him and that helps me move forward because many families rarely know the truth! So please as a community let's help the youth and not demonized them when it truest was a horrible mistake that night!


They just want to protest, I have seen them burning tires, that's great for the air! Also, there are 4 different pipelines going under the river already. So they wait till they start putting pipe in the ground to protest?
Poor left doesn't get it's way...so they cry!


Absolutely lost his compass if he ever had one.  Running the war from Washington during the Vietnam campaign (war) didn't work out so well for the US.  Put a microphone in front of McCain and it fire ready aim.  Let Mattis and his staff, generals on the front develop a plan.  What these generals need to know from congress what the overall budget for the military entails.

McCain would do well to focus on the budget- defense budget.  Not sure he has accepted, the American voter had a chance to support him on national and global thought processes, and by my standards the answer was clearly a no.  Give the defense department, strong congressional support, via clean budget and removing sequestration.  If he has any weight to throw around this should be the area he focuses on.


If an airline cancelled a flight, the doctor would (obviously) have no liability to anyone due to that action.  The gate agent had many other options available that would have prevented this debacle.  He or she chose poorly, and that poor choice resulted in an injury and major financial loss to United.  This was not the fault of the doctor.


Interesting column.  Individuals that work at the Anchorage Airport for the State knowingly misrepresented their qualifications and accepted positions when they knew they were not qualified.  This is known by staff at the highest levels in State Government, but nothing has been done to correct the violations of the Merit System.  Other highly qualified individuals also applied for those positions but were denied.  The State is covering this up.  So it appears that (you can lie) to get your job at the airport, and no one will check as long as you are in with airport management.


You know what they say about people that repeat themselves.


@ Jerry D
"RCMP Inspector Donovan Fisher said the nine were released and have applied for refugee protection"
Yes, you're correct...Canada loves illegals.


Yup, if the Millennials ever realize there is life beyond living in a GTA basement then Toronto will become a ghost town.


CSU and campus student group, Stupud for Life, settle lawsuit.  The First Amendment protects the student's god-given right to be stupid.


Now we can all do something to help.

"..or the lady who handed out a condom while saying no."

Actually, Mulcair understood and therefore did not pursue this.

It was Justin who put the the poor Liberal who was entrapped out of caucus.


Sure, put me on the list for a free house.  Working, saving, living frugally, and paying for things really sucks.  I'd rather spend my money on booze, smokes and VLTs, but hey man, a roof is my human right.


This is the best news I've read in the G&M for at least a decade.
Now we have to start working out what the reparations to the Palestinians should be. I think Rothschild should be able cover all costs quite handsomely. And of course Britain should issue a formal apology and maybe provide the apparatus to dispense the compensation to the Palestinians.
All in all a great Christmas present to the world.
Thank you to the UN Security Counsel
Merry Christmas to all!


"No one answered the jail telephone Saturday."  Huh?!


Your misleading headline should read "Trump team throws up red herring to divert gaze from its treason."


These guidelines are a result of studying evidence based medicine.  How can you disagree with facts?


durrrrrrr


Expensive snake-oil!


My party? I didn't realize that it was the independents that gathered up all those Japanese Americans and put them in internment camps. I thought that was you guys.

You just keep proving my point, at every turn you label those in opposition as evil. Good work supporting the DNC and their march toward oblivion. You can only run on hate for so long. I mean, you guys have done it for a very long time but everything comes to an end.


In part because Oregon voters keep approving unfunded mandates and "kickers,"  S-Corporation tax breaks, etc.  Yes, we have record amounts coming in but are required to give large amounts of it back--a not insignificant portion going to out-of-state corporations.


Pence said this on Wednesday, and IT WAS A LIE:

“Let me be very clear that the President’s decision to accept the recommendation of the deputy attorney general and the attorney general to remove Director Comey as the head of the FBI was based solely and exclusively on his commitment to the best interests of the American people and to ensuring that the FBI has the trust and confidence of the people this nation."

Even Trump, in his ever-evolving explanations, said this was not true.


these "some people" are all over the place...leaving messes everywhere.  it's the norm - not the exception.  you find a homeless camp - you find the same kind of unsanitary cr*p as is in the next homeless camp.


There is a lot of money to be made off of people with disabilities. But it is asking other people to pay for it instead of a family. The Democrats say yes and Republicans say no. At the end of the day, it is all about money. We can keep people artificially alive for a long time. It is notable that most doctors say they don't want to die getting aggressive treatment.


I cannot imagine a worse insult to the citizens of a riding who elected the Mayor- the leader of their community.  A terse dismissal without providing the reasons why.  This is not democracy.  The fix is in. The behaviour of a Party that takes for granted their choice as being the defacto MP awaiting an election process that is nothing more than a ceremonial occasion.  I cannot fathom what the candidates of the opposing Parties must think of being treated like potted plants.  To call the Liberal functionaries arrogant would be complimentary.

I think this is a clumsy attempt to scare off a qualified candidate based on his gender.  Or this is a hint they have something on the Mayor.  Or the innuendo for the local Liberal riding association being spoon fed the need for immediate obedience to this decree.  Come to think of it, this must be Trudeau's interpretation of what he meant by ranked balloting in a taking democracy for granted kind of way.


OK, let's instead pretend that nothing is happening; that there is nothing to worry about, so we keep ignoring all the warning signs. Then, a few years down the road, we realize that we $crewed-up royally but at that point there is no turn around: the damage has become irreversible and everyone will suffer the consequences. Then what?
I guess you've never heard the term "social responsibility", right? Try reading some books about the subject. Or if you are like Trump and don't read any books, then perhaps using something called Google may help you to open your eyes.


Did, 2 years ago.

Nowhere in that film does it say what is, and what is not allowed in Canada.

What is your point?


Ah, I see. I don't follow sports.


It seems that the man asked legitimate questions.  Not sure of personal attacks or small mindedness.


YES!  I wish that people would stop using "what Jesus said" as the reason to behave in a particular way.  As you say, we have oral tradition, transmitted in writing, with all of the errors, embellishments, and changes that this entails and with the results of literary traditions of a given time.


Oh so only Catholics are parents?

You don't understand how "long a problem" this is.

You think we're going to have a solution in 1-4 years.

The world changes not because of some fund someone sets up..or because of protest signs..or because of who is elected...or what some soft bishop says.

It changes because men and women decide to love more and harder, despite their feelings.

and that work is very slow and indirect...one neighbor who goes over to their "generously living" Catholic neighbor and senses a "calm" in that house...it's clean, more order, more cheerful, there are boundaries, there are people who work and can deny their baser inclinations...and so little by little they are "infected" with a Christian spirit.

Read this, and you'll get a sense for how long and slow and quiet and yet good change can happen through a few "mustard seeds".

Why can’t they ever make an announcement in Ottawa? I would love to know what the taxpayer is on the hook for with all these posters and photo ops. Are they afraid to be in Ottawa for question period?


Curious how the  G & M is spending so much time going after Ambrose.   Here's a clue G & M, the bigger fish should be and is the PRIME MINISTER....who is being investigated AGAIN for ethics misconduct, he is the one we tax payers are worried about, he is the one spending our taxes like his Father before him....not Ambrose.


The BC Liberals are Liberals in name only and even less in common with the Liberals in Ottawa.  If the previous election wasn't able to provide any affects with the Liberal Party chanting "anyone but Christie", ( the now LIberal Premier of BC),  its highly unlikely it will cost Liberals any seats.  To enhance the view on this, consider the fact they won a majority after all that went on with CN Rail.
As for costing the Liberals seats in Alberta, I would have to ask ....what seats are you referring to since they have none to lose ?


Wallace revealed the true nature of Republicans-at-heart masquerading as cultural Democrats.

You are welcome.


It really is not that simple, no matter how badly you wish it were.


It would seem that any money the county might save by finding a petition non-compliant would then be spent arguing its merits in Circuit Court.

Sometimes, it actually is best to just sit there and do nothing. I'd say now is one of those times.


Thank you for your leadership!


Hi Lawrence,
Some people need the spotlight.
The need for approval is immense (like Trump also).
Politicians are like artists, they NEED the light (cameras).
So she will not vanish, lets get used to it. Without resistance and
on open mind.


Don't be a sore loser, Billy...


Indeed. The lack of thoughtful foresight is a failure here. The Bloor Viaduct remains a symbol of clear thoughtful planning, while the St. Clair streetcar line had to be retrofitted  just six years after the new raised line was built to accommodate the new cars. It's difficult to hear our Councillors explain such failures away as if this is the very best that could be achieved. And as, the City still allows developers to build to the edge of narrow sidewalks bordering narrow streets.


Actually McCarthy was correct:  there really were people  (spies)  in the army,  government and agencies,  working for the Soviets, sending US nuclear and military secrets to Uncle Joe.    So too there really are rapists , but they get lost in the  mob hysteria. of trying to entrap  innocent men,


I hope they do feel like dogs!

Jail in Canada is like a vacation!

Three meals a day, tv, exercise time, access to education, healthcare when requested.

When I was studying in university there were times when I didn't know where my next meal would come from, when I couldn't afford a gym membership, and when I couldn't afford to pay up front for dental or other services. I lost my family doctor and basically didn't have access to health care unless it was an emergency. Even then it takes 8 hours of waiting to get through! I was working two jobs and cutting grass using my landlords lawnmower! Hopefully he didn't see this!

My point is yes they deserve all the necessities of life including food, healthcare. But tv and evercise space? Give me a break! Do push ups or body weight squats in your cell! You want more than that? Get out of jail, get a job, get a membership to fit for less for $5 a month.

Start contributing to society!


the most insane thing is that now because of the settlement, the state is going to be sued and the tax payers will pay


Do you read your own comments on this site?  You might quickly come to that conclusion!


Manuel is overseas! .... Why hasn't the Symington Affair been sorted.... as you say, sitting on, or under poodle Shaun's desk, if not shredded!
Oh, and not a wholly male poodle as he was castrated!


CONTINUED from ABOVE:

I refer of course to the American Eugenics Movement, which inspired Hitler and which argued that certain "lineages" should be forcibly sterilized or otherwise eliminated, to "improve" humans by culling "inferiors".  Who decides what's inferior?  That has literally proved to be a life or death question.

Regarding your last question as to my "deciding" to be heterosexual, that isn't the RIGHT question if you would understand the logical fallacy of claiming certain behaviors "inborn" without evidence.  It is as inaccurate a comparison as trying to equate "gay" and "interracial" marriages in this context.

I'll use myself as an example why the comparison can't be used to claim choice-of-mate is "inborn", i.e. controlled by genetics.  I'm mixed European and Arab.  I've had three wives.  Two are black.  One is half-Thai and half Texan.  So am I "genetically wired" to marry black women?  Or Thai women?  Or (God forbid) Texas women?  What's your answer?  I'll wait.


I notice The Post has been pushing its anti-gun agenda very heavily lately.


The investment industry likes to combine financial planning, investment advice and investment management. It locks clients in with high costs and hidden trailer fees. It also means the advisers have a huge conflict of interest and pressure to sell products that may not be the best choice for the investor, but make money for the adviser and financial institution. Fee-only planning goes a long way to ensure that investors get unbiased conflict-free financial advice. It is surprising that this planner did not analyze the decision of when to take CPP without being asked.

The other issue that was not addressed in the article is how to get effective, low-cost balanced investments. If the subjects are using mutual funds that have typical 2.5% MER they are losing potentially 1/4 to 1/3 of their returns with very little added value. The next step is to learn how to invest and use products like ETFs, eSeries funds or a robo-adviser to get the best possible returns within their risk tolerance.


If hubby is is worried maybe he should have worked another five years or at least until he  is 60. the same age he expects her to work to. That way they can enjoy their time together earlier.


Very low - to zero - to negative interest rates have successfully CRUSHED pension funds, the insurance industry and savers.

We have substituted "credit" for "productivity" for decades, and this process is STILL accelerating.

But we won't stop this madness until we finally - totally - crater our economy.

 And at that point, we'll just be Venezuela, with snow...


so why is twitter stock stuck in  a rut?
