Myself as a pet owner of several dogs to other pet owner " READ THE SIGN". (pic above)
Irresponsible pet owners do not need to own pets, leash laws are protect your animal and other animals in the same area from harming themselves or others, not just other pets. A loose dog will run down any rabbit or furred animal it finds, (so much more humane than a trap I'm sure, sarc.) causes issues for other people trying to enjoy the area with poop everywhere and loose dogs running you over on the trail. Remember, not everyone likes dogs and have the same rights to the trails as you.
Need to have someone at the trail head handing out tickets to unleashed dog owners. maybe that can help pay for the new enforcement of the trapping reg. Only sound fair to both parties.

Other than that it is not a bad ruling.


"recycling" is a major financial loser, anyone with a small amount of common sense can understand this. Kill it now. Is that clear enough ? The only benefit is give society is to assuage the guilt that comes from "over-consumption" , especially with affluent Hollywood elitists, they can keep consuming as much as they want as long as they recycle, folks like Al Gore et al...


So what you're saying is, we should ignore him and he'll go away?


Hanoi Jane has no discretion and is not worth arguing about.  She is an lady with no impact anywhere.


Mr Turnip is really trying to pass some legislation that affects him, and in a very favorable way.

Another Trump supporter (and his vile "like" buddies) weighs in.


The gift that was "W" Bush just keeps giving and giving!

No invasion of Iraq—no ISIL.

Why Iraq? "gut feeling" and "the guy who tried to kill my dad."

We started some diplomacy with the release of the Pastor from North Korea.
This should help not hinder us.
We don't know what goes on in diplomatic circles.


The greater good. Always have to choose the greater good and minimize the loss. You & I could do none of these jobs requiring the actions nor decision.


There is no news organization in the world that is balanced - everyone has a bias.


The more we put off doing the right thing for the greater good of all, the more we shall sink into the swamp of contempt that industry now expresses with all its tricks and money.  Choosing hate is not a solution. The dignity of life needs to be restored and we need to respect one another so we can plan a future for our grandchildren.


Trump will get the dems elected


Her views on abortion are wholly irrelevant to her views on the War Powers Act.


The point is not what the article says, or what it does, or whether it is accurate or not.  The only thing that matters for some is that it is critical of Trump, the man their courageous bishops supported and the man they voted for.  They will defend him regardless of his actions, just as they habitually support clerics who abuse children.  Right or wrong is irrelevant.  Partisans will back their side, no matter what.


You completely missed Stormbreaker Brewing on N. Mississippi and Beech


The EU is the destructive process that is being put out of its misery.


Why would the Trumpster ever consider firing special council Mueller if he and his campaign are innocent of any wrongdoing, and the whole Russia/Trumpster connection is a witch hunt, as claimed by the Trumpster, and his complicit cohorts, and parroted by the Trumpchumps?

For the Trumpchumps- That's a rhetorical question, don't strain yourself trying to come up with an explanation.


What a silly question. He doesn't want to !


Well, we know Freeland is qualified to write about the new role.


You realise perfectly well that it was a typo (unless you don't know who gave us the encyclical Deus Caritas Est).

I meant, of course, BXVI ...

Any chance you will focus on the substance of my comment, rather than on a silly typo?


None of the people you mentioned -- not the Republicans, not Clinton -- come remotely close to matching Trump's mendacity, either in degree or in kind. I like the Wall Street Journal imagery, don't you?  I especially appreciate that it's the WSJ.

Trump is a reckless, dangerous man; reckless and dangerous in ways that Cruz et alia (and Pence) are not.  Not that I would or do agree with them about much of anything; but they aren't nuts.

PS; What do you think about the wiretapping lie?


Yep.
A round flat table on four pillars that sit in an ocean of unknown depth, with a crystalline hemispherical "firmament" on top of the table, the whole thing surrounded by water in all directions. When it rains or snows, God opens slits in the firmament. When it floods along the coast, God allows the oceans to escape. See Genesis chapter 1, plus the Noah narrative, and also references in the Psalms.
Strange how the people who believe in the inerrancy of the Bible leave all of that out.
And as far as the peoples of the Middle East and the conflict there:
I feel all of the fanatical conservative American Christians who believe Israel is divinely inspired and part of God's plan are playing with matches in a gunpowder magazine.


So Jake how can you be sure a person has no preexisting conditions.  A person who shows no signs of cancer finds out they do have it months or years after it first starts.  Should the insurance coverage be able to retroactively penalize the person who showed no signs until they are hospitalized?


Still believe everything you read in the news, Slick?

How's that panned out for you lately?    Are we learning yet?


Every mass shooter in America, has been a legal gun owning Christian. Christians mass murdered the real Americans and stole their country. Now they call it "their country" and demand no one else come in. Christians still hold the record for the worlds worst atrocities and most people killed, and killed in the name god, during their Holy War, which somehow they managed to flip onto Muslims, by claiming Jihad means Holy War, which it doesn't.  Christians are also labeled the most ignorant people in the world and most unaware of reality. Although I can't imagine why! Clearly that isn't true... :/


Had to write a new Trump post due to our humor.. :-) newest article re the joke fest..


There's old Banister on meaningless rant again, trashing Brad Wall while ignoring the elephant in his own backyard.

Can you explain to us why, here in Ontario, Wynne has not only raised taxes, but she has also raised to deficit to astronomical levels, higher than California's debt... yet despite all of this, the provincial economy is still mired in the muck and there is nothing to show for the higher taxes and increased debt?

I'll await for some sort of a response.


What in the world is "virtue signalling"?
Are stylish liberals wearing girdles and corsets again?


You got that right -- most people are going to prefer comfort and convenience over everything else!


NB: a good friend and roomate in uni (and after) is an Ismaili Muslim

Apart from all the usual controversies around Guptas and Manyi, where does the Guptas get the idea that 7500 are employed by ANN and TNA.... I doubt it is as much as 1/20th of that figure.


oil executive's fancy pants pockets stuffed with crooked self-serving politicians? well, i never...  on the bright side, we don't hold a candle to illinois.


Your comments are full of xenophobia (yeah it's still xenophobia when it's aimed at British culture), negative stereotypes and self-loathing. I bet if the same type of comments were made about any other culture you like you'd be foaming at the mouth. It's too bad you have learned to hate your own culture. Maybe you should get some help with that and those rather obvious anger issues.  FYI our Sunday roasts were quite pink in the middle. Oh and nothing greasy about the fish and chips... maybe your mom just wasn't a very good cook - LOL!


And that's such a bad idea?


Strange Love,

I am sincerely sorry you choose to act like the hall monitor.  It's not a good look.

Roy Moore is part of the Mercer funded Christian Dominionist cabal. They want to rule by their (cherry picked) version of the Christian bible, and not the Constitution.  Do some research on Dominionist theology-- the founding fathers would be rolling in their graves.


Two Federal jury verdicts involving black plaintiffs in the same week here in Eugene.

I will always disagree with Judge McShane's gay marriage decision, primarily because he is a gay man in a relationship and could have recused himself.

But he certainly isn't a right-wing racist nut job.

I'm betting his dismissal of the race card charges stands, even in the 9th Circuit.

Here is yesterday's 9th Circuit case  involving police a Taser, a death and a crazy person.

Complete with Nanny to look after the kids whilst Mom and Dad had drinks by the pool  to discuss with Aga how much Canada would give to his foundation , as was the case in the Bahamas.


Like making up your phony comments about other posters being jail?


The "One Thing" is that this time around "Civic" is funded.  The Original Civic was suppose to be funded, but was not, excuses were used, and we saw first hand what happened.  It was not the children who being children burned it down, it was those responsible for the funding and maintenance that "Burnt it Down".  I end with this, We have a Need for "Civic" but do we have the "Want" to maintain it?


Why not build roads to resources? After 19 Billion Barrels the state can't afford gravel roads to oil and gas areas, why not?  Ice roads get very costly and they don't have to have them in the lower 48 oil states!!


The problem with library budgets, in Toronto anyway, is that there is an enormous amount of money spent on the building, and there is not much money for actually operating the library, and buying books.  This kind of thing has been doing on in Toronto for at least the last three decades.  It's the "hallway" syndrome.  Losts of money spent on space and hallways in public buildings, not much money for actually operating .


Perhaps the post of the day, Sylvia.  Thanks for bringing some humor to the day.  It's a head shaker why the DP and other liberal media public posted this story.


We could never count on Merkel. She's a failure to the civilized world as a whole.


As soon as DNA testing became an effective crime-solving tool---the lampshades and soap simply "vanished". The tribunal at Nuremberg was instructed "not to be burdened with evidence". All "evidence" , especially concerning concentration camps was testimonial and anecdotal. There has never been a single microbe of physical evidence of homicidal gas chambers.

Is it any more distrubing than the Ontario Premier taking her macro economics theories to a local grade one class recently.


The thought must cross their minds now and then, but perhaps they don't care all that much because the marriage was all they wanted, since it gave them security (and in Callista's case a cushy government job).


Elise Patkotak had a chance to write about something important but in the end, her article reflects what really is wrong with Alaska politics and why its so mess up. Elise is neck deep in party politics. Politicians in Juneau are bloodsuckers to the people of Alaska. It doesn't matter if they are Republicans or Democrats. If the power were reverse, we would still have this set of anthropomorphic mosquitos sucking up the overtime money for their own financial gain. Elise's effort to blame this just on one party reflects why people like her and her ink in Juneau, are the real problem to our state.


"But that is no justification for throwing civil liberties and core values out the window."  Sorry RG, you have no right to say this because you folks have frequently thrown civil liberties out the window with the Shurtz black make-up case a recent reminder.


Trump is polling historically low. If this keeps up and Republicans intend to maintain the Presidency in 2018, they should be open to the possibility of running someone against the incumbent president in the primaries.


The only way the Rockies would be a lock for the playoffs at this point is if they were on a 95-100 win pace, and they are just not good enough to win 95-100 games. And I said that exact same thing in May, when they were on pace for more than 100 wins. At that time I thought they could win about 90 - and they still can, but will have to play well to do it. Anyone who ever thought the Rockies had any easy path to the playoffs has been listening too much to the ROOTsters.


Hyperbole is not necessary; at least bringing BC teachers up to the national average would certainly be a good start, however, especially in light of the high PISA scores BC students achieve.


Hmmm….in FY 2009, President Obama inherited an annual deficit of about -10 % of GDP. By 2014, the annual deficit was done to about -3.5% of GDP. The 1974 to 2013 average deficit is -3.1% of GDP. So I find it disingenuous to assert that “He’s done nothing…”.


What a nation of sheep we have become to follow a loud mouth like kimmel.  He and Lawrence   O Donnell must be brothers.  If you have not watched o.donnel talking about voices in his head you are missing a classic.


That's not how Canada functions in practice though, and practice, is what counts.


I don't think the Democrats have any worries; Chump is managing to sway his own voter base 180 degrees in the opposite direction! The Democrats only have to sit back and watch the fireworks!


Yeah, I'm still confused about how she got into that situation in the first place.


After doing a bit of reading (Ryan, Google is your friend) I find that the answer depends a lot on who you ask. Nisei are not quite the same as "native born" Japanese if they return to the "homeland". Then there are the half Japanese who are also often in a different position socially and economically. It would appear that for so called "native" Japanese there is a distinction to be made.

I rather suspect these subtle distinctions are lost on most non-Asians. Frei very likely was ignorant of these facts and the young driver running around waving his national flag might as well have been a pilot over Pearl. He is, at least on some base level still back in WW2.

No, this is the considerably more than fourth article I've written about the threat unrestrained invasive felines pose to public health and biodiversity.


If those rules existed Hillary probably would have been elected.


Excellent!!!
A job is all about HOPE! Especially hope for those who perceive that their is no hope in their lives.
If you believe that you have a chance -- a future of acquiribg things that you are passionate about wanting thenn that hope will be self sustaining. If no hope then no belief in the future.


We all have to get along some how....Trump is not very helpful.


The only real issue now is "Who gets the remaining $21 million?  If the inquiry folds, does all that  money go back to Ottawa, or do the natives who helped scuttle the inquire expect to get it for themselves?  If the inquiry continues, that money will be spent on hearings, meetings, conferences, reports, and bureaucratic paperwork.. I am sure many chiefs and band leaders  have different plans for what to do with it.


Lol!  You did make me laugh kuli.  Aaaaand the rail will cure cancer, drug addiction, halitosis, stink feet, and keep the UH football teams from having losing seasons:)


We'll need to start cutting education and healthcare now, just to make sure we have enough in the kitty as the defence budget gets bigger over the next few years.


ya taxing us out of our homes is some minor inconvenience in canada now!


Isn't it "Federico Fellini"?


As a host country, Canada has every RIGHT to ask any  Question. These are the people who are crossing illegally from a Democratic country that is our neighbor.

If we are to provide proper environment for them to practice what ever they practice we obviously must know what they eat and at what time / how many times a day or night they pray or not pray! Same as what size shoes they wear in snow?


The Trump campaign is being investigated. Just what Trump knew is not yet determined. The FBI requested more funds to continue looking into it.
The investigation of the Russian collusion will continue- the people will demand it.
They are now wondering why Sessions, who supposedly recused himself from any involvement in the Russian connection, broke his word yesterday.


[and any peer review of you conclusions]

"Peer review" ?!  LOL

Your quackery study was only "peer reviewed" by COER leaders (and their funding) - it is a complete joke that only the desperate will defend.


Leinenweber was nominated by President Ronald Reagan on November 7, 1985, to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. He was a Republican member of the Illinois General Assembly from 1973 to 1983.

Do you wish to revise your nonsensical post now?


Lowest cost is not necessarily the best thing.  You should be thankful for the auto industry.  It brings money into the region.  That money is then spent and moved around the region by spending.

If you want lowest cost only then go to a right to work state in the US.


U.S. growth has already slowed and the "Trump bump" has fizzled.


I agree , this is my thinking as well . I plan on taking CPP at 60 next year when I retire. It has always been my plan . The other alternative is to work another couple years to make up for the delayed CPP payout ...not going to happen. This article is government propaganda.


The new norm, when lefties don't like ti hear the truth they call it fake news.   I know what I saw, that isn't fake news


While I fully agree with your sentiment, let's remember there wasn't an internet during W's presidency.  This thing is kinda new and really messing with our collective psyche when we let it.


No surprise there. If it supports you, okay. If not, then:

- it was written (insert date here that suits argument)

- yes, but it was contradicted by (name of book left out of the canon)

- when (name here) translated it, he (insert embellishment) the text

and so on.

It is possible, but not certain, that Paul did not himself write the epistle. It may have been written by a disciple of Paul. It is completely consistent with Paul’s thought, and was certainly written while one or more Apostles was still alive.

What it makes clear is Jesus’ identity with the Word that made the universe, also reflected in John’s Gospel.


Absolutely correct.  I am glad he has the guts and courage to stand up to that idiot Justin Trudeau.  The next Federal election can not come quick enough.  Trudeau is out to bankrupt this country and hand control over to his buddies from the Middle East.


Gotta love the religionists. Wyatt will have a lot of time to "pray for forgiveness". The girl's father ought to be dumped in to the slammer, as well. By the way, what was the mother doing to prevent this?


I agree, why not Dghelay Ka'a??? And in the mean time, will everybody quit mispronouncing Denali?  It's not pronounced De nah lee anymore than we pronounce Valdez "val dezz."


Why is CBC not pumping out this news the way they did when Russia was accused of killing civilians when Russia was liberating Aleppo?


If his own language isn't English, isn't it ironic he's kvetching about immigration? LOL


1. He is retired and working for free, so he can't be fired, but he can stop working, and that's what he's doing.

2. We know. Previous articles on this gave his background, they are linked below this one, anyone interested enough to comment might have bothered reading them, and others out there, to get the full picture. One quote:

"He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, the author of eight books on the Holocaust, including The Holocaust in History, Lessons of the Holocaust and co-author of Vichy France and the Jews, and a former dean of the University of Toronto's school of graduate studies.

...

"His scholarship would indicate someone who has fought his entire life for human rights. Younger Junior Fellows may not be familiar with it; it is reasonable to react how they did," he (Segal) said.


Should have traded him in December. Too late Now -they need to dfa him.  Boat anchor around the teams neck right now.


Will Trump's claim that his plan will include  "insurance for everybody," join Obama's assertion that "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor", and Sarah Palin's "death panels" on the list of health insurance hyperbole?

Republicans been unable to put together a plan (despite saying they were going to replace the ACA for the past 8 years), and now GOP politico's are anxious about the political fallout from ending coverage  It gets worse, WA Democrats Cantwell and Murray voted against giving Americans access to cheaper Canadian pharmaceuticals which won't help  keep down medical costs. Now ACA covers more of our citizens, kept pre-existing conditions from disqualifying people from insurance coverage, and covered adult children to age 26 on their parent's insurance. Most Americans don't want these provisions to end.

Despite Mr. Hall's aversion to having a dialogue on the matter, this is going to be the only way citizens will actually be able to talk about what they want.


Do, have you stopped torturing small animals or beating your wife yet?


Obama will be judged (in about ten years or so, after some partisanship fades) by what his enduring accomplishments were; not what he tried to do and was thwarted by the Congress from doing; not by what he did 'with the stroke of a pen' that was then removed with another 'stroke of a pen', not what  he tried do internationally but couldn't because the American people were tired of 15 years of war;  but what actual enduring accomplishments he had that are still around in ten years or so.

Bill Clinton did NAFTA.   Carter gave back the Panama Canal.  Reagan gave amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants.

The only one that pops up for me is him getting quite a bit of Chemical Warfare items out of Syria and subsequently destroyed.

What other enduring accomplishment(s) does anyone see that will still be acknowledged in ten years or so?


"I have an idea."

You mean you have an original thought, RD!  Are you sure it isn't just another thing you read on breitbart?


Complete disdain and hatred towards Canadians born in Canada
WHERE IS YOUR EMPATHY FOR US! NOWHERE BECAUSE ISLAM DOMINATES AND CONTROLS OTHERS THROUGH RAPE AND MURDER, A FASCIST IDEOLOGY!


Shizz!!  That an honest, and objective, and dedicated,  South African woman, loyal to her country and to its progress,  should be intimidated and under threat,  is ludicrous.  Crazy-mad. The ANC has gone, and has been replaced by a Mafia.  And that Mafia is now threatening our country, and should be removed by whatever means available.  Why?  Should we have to fight, to get rid of them. They are already criminals, and traitors, and should all be chucked into gaol (or jail),  without any more faffing about. Why, again, are South Africans so scared of taking action against wrongdoers?  Too much intimidation by this Mafia?


"Plsssssss ? Who talks like that?"

Gollum.


According to your Bible, your god murdered millions of fetuses and innocents whenever he had a snit about people not worshiping him enough. If you don't get the irony, I'm not going to bother to try and explain it to you.


This is even better- and there are many more on youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aYFC_7ZIn4

Look, we know you're angry and upset that Trump won, but stop with the lies.  It doesn't help you and doesn't convince anyone to change their minds.  It just boxes you in.


Or

How about a follow-on study on who does, and does not get deported because of irregularities on their immigration documents and why?


Communists and left-wing thugs have no place in modern society. None.


Drain the bog


Michael, my condolences on the passing of your beloved Clementine. I agree with you that no creature on earth can love like a dog. And I say that as a long-time cat owner. Hugs and prayers.


Like any honest person did not already know this...Liberals and pro-illegals are so dishonest


His whole family were lying killers. He is a lying killer with no moral compass.  His lawyer coached this garbage. You are an idiot to believe this "thing"  should be  allowed in Canada.  He is no child!!!


Meshes well with their recent EBT card effort.

I would tend to think that it is the awareness of most drivers that has kept these figures down but I also think they will grow as the practice increases. Self-preservation is simply an alien concept to some people.


How did the cheerleaders do? Nobody writes about that.


Huge thank you to the Rolling Thunder, the Montesano city council, the Mayor, the VFW, all the veterans and speakers involved in making that day and the memorial signage happen. It was a day I would not soon forget and now with the Fleet Park memorial and the "“S SGT Timothy Peter Davis Memorial Drive” sign on Academy, it is a day that I will never forget.
   A perfect way to honor my great life long friend Tim. I will never forget my friend, his strength, courage, loyalty, and the sacrifice he made for the rest of us.
Freedom is never free. From a civilian to all the active duty military, veterans, and those no longer with us, much respect, and I salute you.


That may have been 20 years ago, but the new players still bring their tainted socialist ideology with them.


CHINA IS NOT CANADA NEITHER IS THE USA. Your lobby lies to ruin BC like Fort Mac that is completely burned to a crisp from your years of ignorance not cleaning up toxic waste is A NATIONAL DANGER TO ALL CANADIANS.

What kind of coach ? How to screw millions up and a gift


Here's a better idea - send Gerry Butts as consul-general to San Francisco.  In fact, offer him a permanent appointment there.


Bureaucrats always play to our naivete, innocence, and the basic concept of trying to do what's right as you did.  I run into these types in all levels of school administration, the DMV (well ANY government office), customer service (especially in the financial industry), building contractors/sub contractors, etc.  They will say almost anything to make you go away regardless of what is correct, incorrect and right or wrong.  Unfortunately, it is part of our maturation process.  Thank the stars the young have the internet now to check on these people.


Maybe Mrs. Wynne will be inspired by all this.


My husband, who has shot a 50 caliber machine gun, aka "Ma Duce", during the Vietnam War agrees with you. He knows the bullet can go that far or farther but hitting a human target or any target for that matter had to have been pure luck. In fact, my husband would like to take the sniper to Las Vegas with him.
My son served nine and a half years as a Marine, shot various firearms, and other "neat" things that go boom and blow-up such as $5,000 missiles, as a Marine Anti-Tank Assaultman and in the Advance Infantry Assault team, said many "improvements" and "innovative" weapons have been developed, since his last tour in Iraq.
There are so many things these days that were once the stuff of comic books that are now reality. Jet packs, IPhone watches (remember Dick Tracy?), unmanned flights and driverless cars to name a few. So, while unlikely, it is possible that a scope and some type of computer programmed sniper rifle has been developed.
Guess we could ask Marine Gunnery Sgt. Lee Emery


The pigs at the trough still looking for more free rides, and for everyone else to pay for another Bridge to Nowhere, on the backs of people who actually produce GDP. This is the Party that America just dumped, just in case your still having Pork Roast barbecues with Don Young. This is the reason were 20 trillion in debt. Can't make it in the real world, call up the Alaska Delegation, and the'll even get you an unwanted interchange in Florida. The Bridges to nowhere Team, as long as it lined someones pocket, just like Frank the Bank Murkowski, History does not lie.


The "silty water drags you down" myth is just like the "traffic driving over a snowy road drives the frost deeper" one.  No science involved, but go on believing it if it makes you happy.


Thanks for the compliment.   How about I take over the governship of this fine state?   Do you think I would be good?
Maybe they would use their nuclear bombs ;-)


nope, hes a child molester


Why would anyone do that? The situation is almost resolved - lets see it to the end. As I pointed before, no need to drag this thing on forever.


Sounds like an advocate for the new world order or kingdoms for the rich. One always wondered how the kings were selected in the first place, but stealing from the people has to be how it's done certainly not by special mothers that only give birth to the noble. John, only a lawyer could believe something like this.


Six months of slapping his opposition around isn't enough? Erasing Skippy's "legacy" is not enough? Denial will not salve your bruised egos.


These comments are amazing proof of all the paid trolls and Russian bots on here

Less then 15% of Canadians support Trump yet look at these boards.  All the proof you need.


Yeah Obama sure let it become a mess under his terms.


You are waffling AJ... something akin to African Accounting!


Wow all the title needs is Clinton's name.. But really if this was about a Trump investigation Trumps name would be listed first.  This is hogwash.. just a week or two ago Comey was a true Patriot. now? That it hurts Hillary? He's "weaponizing" the Base.. SUCH WORDS!!!! I've had comments blocked on this site for nicer words than this.. But ADN has it's reader base. and this plays right into it..


After a certain amount of time has passed, what was once "invasive" becomes part of the environment.  120 years is pretty long time for tge cattle to have been there. Nature adapts one way or another. Sometimes the invasive species survives and thrives in its new environment or it eventually will die off because it was not meant to be there. Nature has a way of taking care of its self except when it comes to the most invasive species of all, humans. You have some who can live in harmony and the others who end up destroying the land and/or the plants, trees,birds and animals. Eventually, Nature will survive as the invasive will adapt or end up killing its self off by killing everything it  has devoured .


Are you a Rockefeller Brothers shill then? Or is it George Soros? Grow up yourself.


LOL!!!!!!!!!! You're going to use the fact that guns were used to murder 10's of millions of people to imply that guns make us safer?

Seriously? You can't be that dumb.


Suncor received a royalty break when they expanded the Tar Island facility. And if you do a little research, they sued the Alberta government for the same royalty break when they built the Firebag facility. Shell received the same royalty subsidy when they built Jack Pine. And Syncrude partners essentially expanded the Mildred Lake refinery at the expense of Alberta taxpayers.


Dude, he's term limited,......he can't run again, thus the reason he doesn't give a $hit about the people of Oahu......only cares about his union bosses and construction pals


Hm, this sounds like a functional business and a good thing for Port Angeles.  I assume that means the Port is intending to kick it in the teeth.

The Port seems to have two modes of operating with its tenants:  if they're real businesses that create family-wage jobs, like our shipyards, the Port treats them like unwelcome deadbeats;  if they mean well but never get beyond the fantasy stage, the Port bottle-feeds them with our tax dollars.  I hope the Port can break with its old pattern and actually give a good solid business some breaks.


I am so sick of animals on the plane. I have to fly for work every week and it's the same thing: somebody claiming their dog is a special trained animal for emotional support. I'm also tired of airlines not taking into consideration people who have allergies. Animal owners forget that those who suffer from allergies often can't just keep taking inhalers as they are really bad for your health. I should be able to travel in public areas free of animals, dander, and dust.


Nah. You can get that right at the strip clubs if that's your thing. The most successful clubs have private rooms making for a safe transaction of "goods" and fluids.

In all honesty, I may be giving you guys a lot of crap but I'm just another 21 year Avs fan who couldn't abide by this behavior and failure any longer. I feel for every Avs fan and I want to sincerely wish you all the very best. I'm a hockey junkie and will still be rooting for some of the players there. The Kroenkes broke my heart. I wish I could break their bank account and throw them to the wolves.


Trump won the election because the alternative was so much worse. Trump may well end up being a one term president. If he earns that than so be it. We are headed to an unknown destination but the election was about Obama's policies and whether to continue them or change directions. This came from Obama himself.  The country decided it wanted a new direction.

I for one am hoping that Trump does so well that he is indeed re-elected in 4 years. Because that would take "real" accomplishments to convince the people to continue with his policies.  He is so disliked by so many that the only way for him to make it 8 years is to do good things for the country.  I am not going to condemn him before he has a chance to show what he is going to do.  I do like most of his appointees though and look forward to seeing whom he appoints to the courts.


Too bad that cohen has declined to show any proof whatsoever, that he claims to have, that he was not in Prague.
9 days is plenty of time for him to have gone in and out without having to have his passport stamped.
Can't you figure that out on your own?
I suppose I wil have to continue to school you on how deceptive liars like trump and trump's lawyer are.
.
Nothing in the dossier has been disproven.


We dont need islamo fascists throwbacks trying to turn our nation into their third world cess pool...Go back to your country if you don't like the President or his policies.


Evidently you also missed the fact that you stated that you "believed" that the climate changes. That is antithetical to science. That was the point that you missed.

I detailed a host of "natural causes" in another reply to you. That would indicate that they were not being ignored. But why do you ignore anthropogenic causes? If you "believe" (there's that word again) in science, why are you not acknowledging the evidence for AGW? Alternatively, which of those natural causes that I detailed do you mistakenly believe has been responsible for modern warming?


A press briefing is bad kabuki theater on a hyperbolic reality TV show  - with audience participation. A press briefing is specifically designed to blind its beholders with brilliance, or baffle them with bull****.  I'll leave up to the readers to decide what proportiions of brilliance and baffle this administration puts out.


I also think that if you legally own spoons, you can get fat.  ter.


This onerous bill called the AHCA could be called  the Ryan/trump/deathcare bill because without a doubt people will die without access to healthcare and needed prescriptions. We still don't know if the recision clause will be reinstated whereby insurance corporations could legally cancel your policy if you were stricken with a costly ailment or accident no matter how many years or decades you had paid in the premiums. And all this cold hearted taking away health insurance for 23 Million people according to the CBO report released yesterday just so the uber wealthy can get an enormous tax cut. In a sense the CBO's report that the AHCA would cost $100 Billion less than the ACA is a fabrication because the GOP fully intends to give the $800 Billion slashed from the budget of Medicaid to the wealthiest people in the nation in yet another giant tax cut. That's money lost to the tune of nearly a Trillion Dollars, not money saved folks. Unbelievable, cold hearted cruelty for tax cuts.


"Whatever happened to the Russia thing?"

The fact that you choose to:

1. Pretend you didn't say things we can all read;

and 2. Ignore the stories about the "russia thing"

are not my problem. You're very plainly trying to call out lib'ruls for the very thing you're doing, and it's hilarious you refuse to admit it. The rest of us don't need to be told every 6 nanoseconds that the investigation is happening to believe that it's actually happening.

Here's your 6-nanosecond reminder: the investigation is happening, no matter how much you try to ignore it. And FFS, the "Obama adminstration dropped the ball" is a news story from 6 months ago (they didn't, but whatever). That is trump distracting you from the actual investigation. WHich is still happening, since you need constant reminders.

You got distracted from the investigation by a petty trump tweet. The exact thing you're trying (and failing) to accuse libr'uls of.

SAD!

ps the investigation is still happening

still happening!


Roughtie: very impressive, good for your Sens!


Argyle, your question about "how many will Canada retain" after providing educations etc is a good question....

.... considering that about a third of a million Canadians live in the city of Hong Kong and probably a similar number live in the state of California...


What a worthless article. To base the occasion of Halloween not upon spirit, but the amount of money people spend on candy is the among the stupidest things I've ever read. As opposed to other places (too many to name), the Denver area has pumpkin patches and corn mazes to indulge in, not just Snickers bars.


And the prospect is a SS who is blocked by Rogers, so IMO a good use of an asset likely to never be utilized.


Jebuz Lamont Cranston - it's nice you pay attention to my posts but that's almost stalker territory you're in.

I recall the issue on refugees crossing the border that some posters were frantic with rage that it was happening at all.  I simply noted that short of shooting people, greeting, accepting and processing them as we/RCMP were doing was the only option.

Shame you don't like my take on Russia and Ukraine.  Crimea River.

And for the umpteenth time; PLEASE stop having my posts deleted because you imagine they mean something they do not.


"Handguns and assault rifles, like explosives, only have one purpose, and are very efficient and reliable at it."
The term "assault rifles" is meaningless and handgun are already very heavily regulated. But if they are allowed to only have one purpose that must be target shooting since that is the vast majority of the use most civilian guns receive.


Thank you for doing so. Out of curiosity, do you do the same for other racist groups like LaRaza, BLM, Black Panthers etc.?


I wonder how many kids found out their daddy is not their daddy?


Kermot, I'm sorry, I meant Dermot, thank you for the indepth, investigative reporting....


Sounds like a fun elective class.


At this juncture, if the 6th Nuclear Weapon Test happens, it is definitely to remove Press Indulgence in Small Countries including ME from where #NorthKorea earns. If NK clearly thinks which Press is Special.


I wonder how he passed Prozanski's background check?


When was the last time you met a racist sexist group of teachers and administrators in Oregon? There must be many reasons we are not hearing, and EVERYONE is afraid of being labeled a racist misogynist so they reinstated her.

As with ANY firing there are far more problems than are released to the general public. In this Eugene/Springfield area, there is no way the PC schools system would terminate a capable female minority.

Of course, I am admitting I also don't know the facts.

BTW, when was the last time a grammatical error was not used by us to trash a person posting we disagreed with????? Are we posters no longer going to do this, since we think it is not important for principals? I make lots of typos and mistakes, but then again, I'm not sending out emails as a principal....


Two points for you to consider:

1. Say President-elect Trump would follow through on his original policy of deporting 11 million undocumented immigrants (he's rolled that back to exactly what the Obama administration is already doing by the way.) Who is going to replace their role in the economy? Am I to believe that supporters of these policies are eager to fill the roles in society undocumented immigrants are filling? What are your opinions about places like Alabama that have passed strict policies against undocumented immigrants? Do you think that's working well for them (it's not.)

2. Nobody is "pro illegal immigration" but when it comes to "cracking down" on the illegal immigrants who are here, many of them with natural born children,  how do you avoid having a giant bureaucratic system that racially profiles U.S. citizens? How do you avoid eroding the constitutional rights of people who would get caught in that net? Images such as the Japanese internment camps come to mind.


Millie: Seriously, you're going to do that to Ted Williams, sport? It is like me asking Russ Jackson to coach the Leafs. And ya Minnie has had some good teams, but generally it's been sad, very sad. good luck to Bruce, but i think Habs just had a night off, it's expected at this time of the season, for some teams, don't  cha think?


A quick bit of investigation revealed that as of 2014, there's 29% more male lawyers out there working in Canada (53, 153) than there is female lawyers (40, 920), so unless the Minister's pool of candidates was a pretty egregious statistical anomaly, such that our SMALLER pool of female lawyers produced a LARGER candidate pool of qualified candidates for appointment, her arguments that she appoints on merit and merit alone are total baloney. Given the size of the two pools, the odds that her utterly flipped split of candidates is the result of random distribution of talent drops to near nil.

I'm 100% comfortable accusing her of outright sexism in her appointment process.


You did the right thing. It would have been much easier to leave it in the field and keep on hunting. Glad you applied ethics and took responsibility. - Hope you keep hunting in the future.


Amazing that the Japanese can extend the Shinkansen from Morioka to Hakodate, 93 miles, for $4.7 billion.  It's in the country, true, but a large % of it is in tunnels, culverts, elevated guideways, etc since it is completely isolated.  A private company in Texas is also considering a Shinkansen from Houston to Dallas and they estimate $12 billion for that 239 mile segment.  Something is very wrong here.


In this country, people accused of murder are released with no trial because the procedures took "too long" and members of terrorist families get 10 millions bucks deal...

And the victims? They just don't matter. If the bill of rights really says that, then this document is flawed and wrong. Period.


Condolences to the family and to his brothers and sisters in arms.


Man shamming. Man hating. Feminism is nothing to be proud of. They claim to be peaceful, tolerant and for human rights. But that is all bull.


thats because we have an increase in the number of big babys in this country. safe rooms? please, get over it you big babys


ACH:  So who is going to figure out how much each person owes? That's the beaucracy I'mtalking about.  Yes, I am the one complaining about the 200,000.  Your plan does little to change that.  That said your plan will never float.


Yes, please. You had me at the 'UO foundation being run by professors' analogy.


If you quote Trump or run footage of him, he comes off in a bad light.  There is no way to paint this clown in a good light -- it runs counter to the evidence.
And we already have someone like Trump in Canada -- my brother-in-law.  Thankfully, he has no power and I only have to put up with him once in a while.


It is extremely offensive to anyone who understands why it can't be "won"...........


The Zuptas must indeed be in 'panic mode' to resort to having this woman write articles on their behalf.


you assume that the 1 example she shared is the sum of her whole experience of racism and discrimination in Canada. this isn't about her "feeling" discriminated "in the past" by "one individual". it's about actual discrimination that happens daily - from individuals and systems and industries (including much of the music industry). we should all be thankful that she used her time to speak openly about this. we should be thankful for the work she is doing and sharing with us. the world does owe her something for that work - at the very least some respect and compassion. As for the sound issue, she carried on performing like a pro. Her job was to make sure she was delivering the best performance possible, and the techs jobs were to support in that by providing professional sound - they failed at that, she didn't. "Celebrity-status" is irrelevant, she is entitled to have the same expectations on the sound crew as any other artist. She called it out appropriately.


Yes, isn't it $500K?


Well, you really offered no response to my analysis, so does that mean you don't challenge the truth of it?

Of course I'm concerned about the "quality of clergy," as are we all. Admitting married men to the priesthood doesn't make any change in that, unless you are prepared to argue that married men are intrinsically "better" in quality than unmarried men, which is without foundation, and rather insulting to single people. Is that what you mean to say?

Now, overstretching personnel certainly affects quality, which is where my analysis bears some consideration. By my calculation, admitting married men to the priesthood would *reduce* total clergy availability, thereby overstretching them further. If I'm right, what does *that* do to quality?


EU "democracy" in action.

Berlin/Merkel is using its puppet government in Madrid to stifle Catalonian freedom à la fascist Franco so that the German EU Empire will stay intact.  History repeats itself.

Brexit was a wise choice.  And Merkel can't do much about that.

Germany will become even more insufferable as the AFD/Gauland becomes more powerful.


Congratulations, Shalane. I was extremely disappointed that the Denver Post couldn't find the space for a photo of this phenomenal athletic feat in its print edition, yet can continue to devote 4 pages to NFL coverage. She's from Colorado for God's sake.


I'm curious about the notion "The citizens of Springfield overwhelmingly do not want these businesses in town"
If someone is opening a business - assumably to be profitable - doesn't it stand to reason that people do want these businesses in town?  That whole supply and demand thingy....


I guess you never read the "Holy" Bible. There's enough smiting in there and instructions on what to do to non believers or adulterers. The Old Testament is a very violent piece of work.


did i just hear someone say eminent domain?  it was hard to hear - my ears are still ringing from the slap on my face.


There's no comparison between the ruthless relentless slide down the corporate fascist slope these last several decades and what unions and Greenpeace are doing. One is global fascism, the other is progressivism for the good of people and the planet.

  We see the harm right wing fascism as exemplified by the Nixons, Bushes, and Trumps is doing. If unions and environmental groups had more power and money they could not do the harm being done by multinational corporations destroying democracy for profits, eroding national sovereignty, making wars, harming the environment, and neglecting the needs of 6 billion struggling people for profits.
  The point is, influence in Western elections by fascist states like Russia destroys democracy. You don't hear of Denmark or Norway trying to influence our elections. But elections are merely going through the motions of democracy when corporate oligarchs make the rules.
  Unions and Greenpeace merely try to redress the gross imbalance of power.


Yeah, dip netters are proud of their 'influence' with a few corrupt legislators.

That's not a positive attribute.


Ahhh! I love the smell of a boondoggle in the morning!


Even an innocuous comment like the following is getting censored:

You do not need to create criminal laws to intimidate and punish people for what should be free speech. The problem is the interpretation of "islamophobia" we see being implemented right here on these boards. It is much broader than hate speech.


Here in Canada, Chrystia Freeland also made up stories about Russian interference.


He's one of the Clown Car drivers...


I thought he had some brains,
Our PM  is a complete naïve idiot , or , he thinks we Canadians are dumb.
well , Justin, we are NOT Dumb.  and we can not believe you are , therefore only one conclusion
you are CORRUPT , and you are being corrupted Chinese style


"...toll road that few people in the local area use"

That's what we in the E-470 corridor said all those many years ago.  We were wrong.  The visionaries had it right.  And now they're adding new lanes to E-470 due to need!


This is not "just some lawyer from Russia."
Veselnitskaya, the Kremlin lawyer who met with Kushner has also represented a Kremlin-backed, Cyprus-based Russian holding company, Prevezon, which reached a settlement in a case involving laundering $230 million from Russia that passed through Cyprus before being invested in New York real estate. U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara originally led the case against Prevezon, before he was forced to resign by Trump. Trump's Treasury Secretary, Wilbur Ross, was Vice-Chair of Bank of Cyprus as well as being one of its largest investors; the other Vice-Chair was a former KGB official and Putin ally. The largest investor in the corrupt Bank of Cyprus was Dmitry Rybolovlev, the Russian who bought a Florida mansion from Trump for $50 million more than Trump paid for it four years earlier. The Treasury Dept's FinCEN arm fined Trump's Taj Mahal $10 million for money laundering. Trump owes Deutsche Bank $300M; Deutsche Bank laundered billions through Cyprus.


BBC is a good source... our news sources have been either right or left wing for years. just read a lot, average it out. and hope ..


<I responded to your original post which as we all know didn't have such provenance included.>
That's false.  Either you've confused me with the original poster in this part (conversation) of the thread, or you're being deliberately deceptive.  You made the original accusation of plagiarism in the "arc of history" quote without providing any citation or evidence to support it. Ironically, it was I -- not you -- who provided a citation to an article that traces the history of the quote; and that citation appears in my first post to you in this thread.
Your writing is either careless or dishonest; in this instance, anyway, it appears to be careless. I don't suppose you want any suggestions from me -- but Civil Comments does a pretty good job of laying out a "conversation" within a thread so that you can review it for context before posting your response.
Indeed: Peace.


It is unfortunate. The rules are better now and perhaps enough that Brown only need be reasonable in the approach to control costs. At the end of the day, unions or any organization, would rather use limited funds to support and work with whatever government will be in power, or save up to fight them. The Ontario Liberals are long past their expiration date and I'm sure a losing cause, even with unlimited funds from unions to campaign for them. As a moderate, the NDP and Greens will never be an option for me so Brown really has to not be a wishy washy, smug and clueless John Tory or an equally poor politician like Hudak.


Sara Fredrick's, I agree with your comment about racism.  I can't believe Cofey used the word "crackers" in his video when referring to the white fair officials/ security guards as he was leaving the fair!


I doubt single-payer will cut costs in half.  It might be a substantial savings, but as long as the marketplace determines the cost of healthcare, and people equate paying more with as the ad says "a chance to live longer" the market will be driven to provide the most, not the least, expensive treatment possible.
From what I have seen, only countries that have managed all aspects of healthcare have costs about half that of our system. These countries don't deny healthcare to people who want to buy their own. So the so-called fear of lack of choice is not based on fact. What they do is protect the taxpayer money used to pay for public healthcare by weighing cost with benefits. For example, if they can't pay for new prosthetics for children, they might not fund new hips for those over 85.
We can't pay for every exotic treatment. And choices about what we fund are already being made.
Still, single payer is better than what we have.


Add electricity~~~


Okay, John. You lost me on this one.


"The other thing we know is that whoever, whatever, gets in, our countries will be invaded, your puppets put in place in our govts and millions of us will continue to be slaughtered while you all argue among yourselves." Well said, sadly. Only remains to add 'and all life on Earth will become increasingly imperilled.' I write from Nicaragua, where catastrophe is being added to injury as the US's abuse of resources extorted from countries such as ours is projected to increase our mean temperatures by 3, 4 or even 5 degrees Centigrade by the end of this century.


I missed the sarcasm you mention.


I'm appalled at what I see obese people feeding their obese children. Learning to eat carrots instead of donuts takes some effort, but it can be done. I believe also that snack manufacturers make chips and snack crackers addictive - salty, crunchy, oily - and that leads
to toting the unhealthy heft.
As Miss Piggy would say: "Never eat more than you can lift."


Actually, it is called water intoxication.


Will the Globe and Mail censor comments about Mexicans?? I doubt it.


-- ...  is no longer the reliable and trustworthy cornerstone of the West --  I assume you mean that the allies can no longer expect the USA to pay the vast majority of the Allies defense and military costs.


To call it rape just because of age is wrong even though the law is like that.


Yeah, it couldn't have anything to do with their disgusting "pizza".


K O'Leary executed what can be described as excellent leadership. He clearly understood that he could not win a general election and took action by NOT being a self serving politician. Leadership means making tough/right decisions. Congratulations to him.

On the subject of Bernier, MB is the right man for the job. He possesses the most reasonable conservative views, knows his way around Ottawa and has the ability to unite the country. Let's get MB into the drivers seat and start working on getting Canada back into the hands of Canadians, rather than the liberal elite.

Well he knows for 30 years he was always looking over his shoulder consciously or sub consciously. All this time he must have been driving a vehicle. What was on his license? According to an older article he wasn't even a legal resident of the State of Hawaii.


I wouldn't put it past Trump to say 'no thanks' anyway.


Wow...
Is the bun fight over ??
Long term excellent (30 year) performance aside.....I think shorter term....I am 61 and not in 100% health...
When I see banks plummet 60% (in 2008) and see all this "bubble" talk lately...I am not inclined to own them at the moment.
One frustration I have is that very few (like minded) commenters try to tactically invest...and are ridiculed for it,in various ways....
I have no idea if BMO will drop further ....but I see no reason to think it will suddenly rise...
I picked $80 as a support level based on the (new) dividend rate at $80  which would be closer to 5%...
And no,I am not going to go and figure out if its 4.83 or 5.2......
I tend to look at the forest...not so much the (nitpicking) trees :)
.
And yes (since nobody asked)...
I am feeling a bit self satisfied with calling them overbought recently

The name of every single church in Christendom dedicated to a saint can be understood to include the idea of "memorial," even if the word is not expressed. By dedicating a church to, say, Ste-Thérèse de Lisieux, we're partly declaring, "Let us remember this admirable holy woman!"

But the example you give is an interesting one, viz. a dedication to the memory of someone who is admirable (not necessarily by strictly "religious" measures) but has not been canonized. There can't be many places like that!, so I am glad to know of this one.


In Germany they don't put up statues of Hitler, Himmler, and Göring and celebrate them as heros of a glorious lost cause.

The concentration camps are left up as a reminder of what evil hate can produce, and a warning to future generations to never let it happen again.


"Many of them are of negligible significance to Ottawa’s bottom line, but others – such as the tax treatment of capital gains or registered retirement savings plans – are worth billions a year in foregone tax revenue."

Read it again.


Of course Russia meddled in the election.  They released information and may have spread false news.  But so what?  As if the United States never tried to influence other countries elections.  Hell, we have even assassinated foreign leaders.

But the question should be should the country allow a foreign country to continue to influence American elections?  Apparently Russia was close to being able to actually change the vote.  But rather than complaining about Russia, the democrats should concentrate on removing voter restriction laws, and making election day a national holiday.  Its pretty sad for the so called freest nation in the world to have relatively few vote.  If people are not willing to vote and don't care about their country, who cares if the country is taken over?  Republicans should support this even if the Donald loses some Russian support.


We should sanction our own country because our president is trying to become our first dictator.

For those of you missing Harper, here is a reminder why the rest of us don't:

Patrick Brazeau - criminally charged, assault, drug possession
Pamela Wallin – under RCMP investigation

Arthur Porter- fraud, conspiracy, money laundering,
Vic Toews- convicted for violating Manitoba Election Law, affair with nanny.
Bev Oda- resigned after lavish expenses
Mike Duffy - criminally charged, fraud
Nigel Wright - resigned after Duffy payoff
John Duncan - resigned after writing to Tax Court
Bruce Carson - convicted of fraud, charged again in 2012 for influence peddling
Julian Fantino- demoted from cabinet post for incompetence.
Irving Gerstein- charged for violating Elections Act, charges dropped when Tories paid $52,000 fine
Doug Finley – tried to bribe MP Chuck Cadman.
Pierre-Hugues Boisvenu – Under investigation, senate expenses
Nathan Jacobson – criminally charged, fraud, racketeering


we can condemn the shooter while also investigating what mistakes enabled him to do what he did.  Please grow up.

And Dicky Boy...if you had bothered to read, you would have seen that we do indeed have ticks in Alaska.  I've seen ticks on squirrels, way back somewhere in the 70's.  And obviously, more are coming from our neighbors.


The Taliban were never routed and are in control of large parts of Afghanistan.
Because, you know, they LIVE there and all.


The government current policy on this issue is correct, WE DON'T PAY RANSOM TO TERRORIST'S.  When Canadians travel, don't go to places the government says to stay out of, if you do and bad things happen, then its all on the travelers plate.   We cannot finance terrorism, kidnapping is one of the main sources of revenue for terrorists.   To defeat terrorism we have to remove their money supply, this is one way we can do it.    If those people are smart and want to stay alive then appear as if they are willing to convert to Islam.  It'll keep them alive until they can find a way home safely.


Nobody wants to make anyone's problem your problem. There is a housing bubble which when it pops will be very harmful to your situation. The gap between price and affordability today is probably 20x what is was for you and with globalization it will get enough worse without interventions. All you care about is your inflated valuation. You may want to think twice before giving the housing market over to the flippers and speculators and super rich foreigners.


A circus all around - to the opposition member who said the Commons is the members house - well actually it belongs to the people of Canada. BUT to the Liberals - give us a break, what campaign trail is the PM going on exactly - is he trying to be Trump lite. Enough already - get back to the House, stay in Ottawa. To all those who voted Liberal because it was going to be different with Justin, hope you will rethink that next time. Just same old same old ............

Trump isn't following your guideline,

...he already appointed people you think he won't.

Pay attention.


Greenleaf, if you don't like propaganda, then stop using the NYT which has frequently shown it's true colors when reporting on political topics. Instead, I suggest you go read the actual documents.  China's and India's goals are not to change any of their output of CO2 until they decide to in 2030.

Since using google appears to be too much for you, here is the link to the actual documents. http://unfccc.int/paris_agreement/items/9485.php

Greenleaf, I don't really care that you support global warming / climate change / <new name of the day>, at least be honest what the end goal is. It is NOT to reduce CO2, but it is to redistribute several trillion dollars from the US to other countries around the world. It really is that simple.

Oh, and if I was baiting you, you would know it :)


the illegals are being treated just like Trump promised. His rules are mean spirited. For people like Morelos with children/husband legally in the states there should be an amnesty or some easier way for her to become 'legal'. She should have applied during the Obama years. Regardless she entered illegally and now suffers for it. We have seen similar actions in Canada in the past too.
Countries need to protect their borders but there should be exceptions too.
Under Trump the USA is a much less tolerant society


As usual, you completely miss the point. Researcher demands that Alaskans join the global civilized world in helping African elephants. Then demands sacrifice from us. What do they suggest we sacrifice? I do not need a job, I am retired.


Canada already has plenty of good actors.


That's okay, we'll just grow meat in labs.  We already have the technology and it will only get cheaper and more efficient over time.  And how does that even begin to address my article anyway?  Does a molasses spill somehow demonstrate that sea level rise is a really big deal?  Because my article says it isn't, and I haven't seen any successfully refute it.  I've posted it all over the usual rounds, email it to NASA, Skeptical Science,  etc.  No response.


So these people needed religion to motivate them to help other human beings and stand for what is rationally and self-evidently morally right? How depressing. Maybe that is why the most religious countries and states remain the poorest, most violent and most bigoted, because God isn't making them feel guilty enough.

Now, now Doc, we've all had posts removed that we thought were civil. Given the aggressive nature of some of your posts it's not surprising that some people may have considered them uncivil. It is not however a sign of overt censorship or enforced group think. Get over it.

The latest Canadian GDP print, driven by mining and mineral exploration is unlikely to be replicated if the NDP/Green policies are enacted: "Mineral exploration and evaluation (+13.7%) rose sharply following eight consecutive quarters of decline, primarily due to increased activity in oil and gas." Policies such as adopting the UN declaration on the rights of indigenous peoples as cited in Mr Mason's article is impractical and unworkable - there is a reason why the federal Liberals, despite their understandable sympathy with FN causes, walked away from it. Handing a veto on resource development to this, or any other single, constituency is a mistake. The malign hand of Naomi Klein and her LEAP Manifesto cohort is at play. The good news is that in making BC's economy unrecognisable the Greens/NDP will probably make themselves unelectable.  A timely reminder why the NDP has been out of power so long and only managed to scrape back in via coalition.

Bison are bison.  The 1928 re-introduction of Bison was to provide for saving the species wiped out by hunters for profit and government  in the 19th Century.  Plains Bison were the only species available for transplant to re-establish Bison in the same area they had thrived in for millenniums.  None of your comments have any factual content and are just false.  The only harvest of these bison should be for subsistence.  The lottery removes any aspect of subsistence in favor of the "sport" hunter.  Airplanes can spot the herds which will not move from an area until the feed runs out, so same day ban has no relevance.  Off road vehicles can be used without restriction to travel throughout the hunting area.  No need for roads.  Oil revenues used by the state created the implantation of barley farming into the area with no historical existence.  Your last sentence have no relevance and are just false in structure and content.  Give it up.


Come on, you know as well as I if they tried to do something like that on Oahu, it would all wind up on the side of the road somewhere.


Go back to North Dakota, if that's where you were really hatched.


More Fake News, still no proof of who hacked the DNC servers.

If Hillary really wanted to know, she would have turned the servers over to the FBI for a proper forensic examination.

Meanwhile, nothing in the MSM about former DNC Chairwoman Donna Brazile’s revelation that she feared for her life after the murder of Seth Rich?


No rat with any sense would go aboard a sinking ship!


What a life. Mr. Glenn was truly a 20th century hero.


And here we go.


Congrats on not dying. You're an idiot. A very talented, determined, & in-shape idiot, but a reckless idiot nonetheless. See also: Üli Steck.

People will die (or land on & kill others) while trying to emulate you, and Park Service employees will have to use taxpayer-funded spatulas & hoses to clean them off the granite. Neat.


Borreca, this shotgun blast at the governor is a pathetic attempt to create something out of nothing. Do some homework. Dig into any one of these issues to expose the underlying causes. It's all so boringly easy to blame whoever happens to be governor for any and all the state's ills. Then again, that would be a lot of work to turn up a can of worms with no one to pin the blame on. That would be a long and boring article. Better something short and fishy that appeals to the same old angry conservatives.


Jeff Sessions also met with these people, and lied about it under oath.


Hating on Catholics is pretty acceptable - just ask Californian Diane Feinstein.


Why are we talking about slavery when the primary issue today is residential and educational *re*-segregation. "Guilt" is not what impedes progress towards racial integration in the US but rather both latent and manufactured racism, in particular, coming from a well-financed far-Right Republican money machine (Koch & Putin). The 1% is counting on ignorant whites to further their agenda of inequality and likely their racist lapdogs will obey their wealthy masters. They have thus far.
"Segregation often overlaps with many other place-based inequalities—poverty, unemployment, crime, and housing quality and overcrowding. These overlapping disadvantages are seemingly much more common in the U.S. than in European countries,
where government efforts to promote integration (e.g., social and mixed-income
housing) provide a clear contrast to the market-driven solutions preferred in the U.S."

That's not actually a thing.  What you're talking about with the car is the doctrine of replevin, which allows the owner of stolen property to recover it.  It's subject to a host of limitations, including the fact that it doesn't apply to money.  There's also exceptions for good faith purchasers which would apply to the stolen car.  Your example is wrong.  If the purchaser of the car didn't know it was stolen (and didn't have reason to suspect that it was), they may actually have a good claim to keep it.  That doctrine gets more complicated than the character limit here will allow, so I'll leave you to look it up.

Generally speaking, it's good to recognize that "the law" is actually a thing which has meaning and effect outside of your individual belief.  The fact that you may wish for a certain thing to be true "as a matter of law" doesn't actually make it so.


Has anyone heard Leonard Cohen's "Closing Time".  That about captures it.


Who has never been called names, experienced an insult or embarrassment or a threat?  The whole idea that we should attempt to convert the world to pacifism while we sit back and feel sorry for ourselves is the whole "snowflake" mentality that has turned our nation into a land of victims.  What a pathetic group we've become when instead of teaching people to be stronger, we propose laws against hate speech, relying on the government to constantly protect us.

"Turn the other cheek" is surely a metaphor for not retaliating, as opposed to not defending oneself against a violent attack.  So, we don't call someone names in return for being called a name.  Rather, we say, "Sticks and stones....," and become stronger as a result.


There are similar issues in Canada.   I've seen stuff almost as bad first-hand in very well-off areas in Ontario.   I'm not clear on why local fire depts and councils were not doing anything.

There is no shortage of apartment buildings in Toronto that look run down and suspect there is plenty to address right here.


The "new" DA has only one goal: get elected at all costs. They lost my vote years ago.


The legislative buildings have armed guards and metal detectors. The university does not. That makes the two completely different.


note that there's a difference between "meat product" and animal product.


Actually guantanamo, it is your knowledge of history that is severely lacking. Truman decided on the nuclear option when his generals told him that the estimate of US deaths would be in the hundreds of thousands if they attempted to invade Japan and the many islands under their control.


I wanted to use this service once, but I couldn't because of the timing of the route versus my flight, and the possibility of buses running late.  There was also the fact that I couldn't justify taking two pieces of luggage on three different buses to get to the airport.  If they increased the frequency and made it a direct bus from downtown, I would use this service all the time.


What an empty comment. The Snopes posts aren’t a repudiation of the charges nor do they clear the Clintons. Snopes simply states a couple of minor errors and asserts a quid pro quo as being unproven.  Perhaps a judge and jury would best decide that.


Agreed.  She already knew DeVos was going to be nominated when she passed her through the committee.  The party knows how to vote count.  Notice that Sullivan is lock-step with Trump.  He was the deciding vote with DeVos.  If he had voted against her, for the same reason that Murkowski did, because she's bad for Alaska, DeVos never would have been confirmed.


Ah, shucks.  What's a little graft, corruption or payoff here or there?  I've go mine Jack, I'm OK


Not correct or only fit in western annotation. The impact of Trump's election is only 2nd to Hitler's, never a candidate's personal impact on history course has been such big since that time.

That is the fact, nothing to do with wrong or right.


"Rockaway Beach" is a fairly common place name. Quick search on the interwebs and I found at least 9 places with that name in the US alone. That being said, I'm pretty sure the Ramones song references Rockaway Beach, Queens, New York.


Gardner votes in favor of Trump policies as often as Ted Cruz.  This guy needs to get voted out of office.


I don't have to read any of the comments to know what the majority's opinion is.  As far as I know, the only tribal government in Alaska that supersedes state government is Metlakatla, AK.  However, no tribal government in our nation has jurisdiction over felony offenses.  Last time I read, anytime a tribal member commits a felony offense, it's automatically suppose to be turned over to the state.  There shouldn't be any banishment of tribal members for acts of violence such as in this case.  They guy may have been abused by his parents, but that doesn't give him the authority to impose deadly behavior on anyone, including his family members.  I sure hope the AG's office is on top of this banishment debacle.  Tribal banishment may have worked two hundred or more years ago when there wasn't a judicial system in place, but it doesn't work now.  Hogwash.


What about the tax loopholes that allowed well-off to "gift" $100's of thousands to foreign entities, then get money back tax free?   That is more of a concern!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sure isn't "small" business who do this.


A recent poll in Louisiana showed over 30% of voters blame Obama for the Katrina disaster response, an event 3 years before he was elected President. People are getting dumber and it's not elitist to point it out.


Maybe you've missed the EPA regulating CO2 emissions as a dangerous contributor to global climate change. When you and I went to school CO2 was a good thing - part of the natural contract between humans/oxygen breathing beasties and plant life. Now it's a bad thing, apparently, that threatens our very existence on this planet. And I suspect Pismo was being slightly tongue in cheek.


No quarterback can handle the "pressure" that the Bronco "O" line unleashes.


Transgender people were already serving in the military with minimum disruption.
What the Pentagon and "under control and planned for" was integrating openly transgender people into the military.
Trump has thrown that into total disarray with his base-pleasing tweets.


Elway to Sloter: "I’m telling you from experience, going from the preseason to the regular season is a big jump’ and we didn’t put him in that situation." Nope. He put Brock in that situation because Brock proved how well he can play by his impressive performance in Houston and Cleveland. (Btw, instead of Elway giving credit to Brock getting us to the SB, he should have given credit to the defense because that's who bailed an aging Manning and rookie Brock out the entire year.)


You do realize that the Democrats in the Senate voted no on restructuring the Permanent Fund and the Republicans voted yes.    So vote out the minority in the Senate and you will have your restructured Permanent Fund.  Opposed were Bill Wielechowski, D-Anchorage; Berta Gardner, D-Anchorage; Johnny Ellis, D-Anchorage; Bill Stoltze, R-Chugiak; and Mike Dunleavy, R-Wasilla.


I never thought of it that way, but you may well be right.


The ANC seems to live in a world where the voters are stupid voting cattle who do not understand or care about the fact that they are being robbed blind by these criminals.


#treelivesmatter ?


Hahahahaha!!!!


Lock her up!
From your lips to God's ear


"If she was missing school and the parents were notified but did nothing to correct the absences, were they at least partially culpable for the dysfunction?"

Wasn't that the point the law that the teenager championed? To prevent school districts from blaming parents when the districts fail to do their job?  The parents appear to have done their due diligence: They approached the school before enrolling their child; they sought help from school personnel and then district administrators; and, finally, they filed a complaint with the state department of ed.  Would you make this same accusation if the student couldn't attend school because she was in a wheelchair and there was no ramp? Clearly, she needed accommodations, including an IEP, and the district ignored her; how is that her parents' fault?


Your claims of social disorder, anarchy and mass chaos haven't seemed to come to fruition in other states that have legalized it.  The only thing that has happened is they have crushed tax revenue projections and life outside the industry has continued as usual.  What happens RR when you fear the boogey man and he never appears?
Your only option is to move along with everyone else you claim will be leaving.  Please.


Obo, you are always good for a laugh! It is you that are uninformed. Rural preference subsistence, in areas, is the law. You have no excuse, except, perhaps for low-watt intelligence, to distribute your personal yo-yo myth.


Another example of this government putting Canada and Canadians in peril.


Lava, Just look at the Donald's tax returns over the past 20 years.  Oh you haven't seen them?  If the Donald is so innocent, releasing his tax returns like he promised during the campaign may go a long way towards answering any questions.  But he won't as he has lots to hide.


Agreed.


the Liberals are not prepared
they are sunny


and the feverish hand-wringing continues. as if it's gonna change how peeople here have been growing, eating smoking, and transporting their pot for the flast 40 years WITHOUT ANY HELP from the state. In fact, in many case's the state's own stupidity has only aided the "criminals" we would have a tome filled with legends of yore, heralding our own successes against these bumbling sheriff of knottingham types.


I thought you'd explain why it's an issue since you raised it. A recent estimate has about 60,000 American citizens, total, in Mexico with overextended stays. Not yearly.... total. A few years ago Mexico deported almost 3 times that number in one year alone. That indicates entry from south of their border is the illegal immigration concern for Mexico.


RACISM -
the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.

SO YOU TELL ME HOW WHAT HE SAID IS NOT RACIST


No this was a case of hyped up outrage after the fact without paying any attention to what happened leading up to or during the entire rest of the encounter.


Be safe out there yall.


Whoa, deja vu. Wait, that seems familiar.

Copy pasta of a Krugman column from July31st.


Don't quite understand how robotics will result in a booming economy with a labour shortage unless you mean the low wage service jobs that have replaced the decent wages enjoyed by the blue collar workers thirty years ago.  Wasn't it the anger in the rust belt that led to the election of Donald Trump?


I would say maybe trying to look up that license plate and then connect it to the owner of the car..Whew! this police thing is hard work.

My list would start with a tax code that does less to favor the affluent,..."
.
How could it do any less to favor them?  The "affluent," (I'm guessing at this point what you mean by the term) already pay over 96% in total income tax, and corporations pay the highest rate of tax in this country than anywhere else in the world.  How much more of a burden would you place on them?
.
"....a better-functioning education system...."
.
Unless you give school choice, voucher programs, and incentives for families to home school (all of which are gaining ground, but slowly)--  that will never, ever happen.
.
"....more bargaining power for workers...."
.
This part is confusing: Which American workers do not currently have a right to negotiate their wages with an employer before entering into a voluntary agreed-upon contract with that employer?
.
"and less tolerance for corporate consolidation."
.
Again, this is confusing: how does taking away the freedoms of a business owner to consolidate help?

Quantifying what will "reduce carbon emission enough to significantly reduce the rise in atmospheric CO2."  has not happened yet.

"We must reduce' is as close to quantification as we have seen.

What a billion pound reduction (to pick a number at random) would do and in what time frame is beyond the current science.


The Blue Cross Blue Shield Association warned against a new GOP ObamaCare bill on Wednesday, saying it would “undermine” protections for pre-existing conditions.

In Oahu, it's HART, the mayor and the city's rail that's bleeding us dry.


And the Trump circus continues.


A 26-year-old man went on a shooting rampage at a college in Oregon killing 10 people and injuring 9 others.

Oregon is one of the states where campus carry is legal under certain stipulations. Everyone with a concealed firearms license is allowed to bring guns on campus.

That is because a 1989 Oregon law forbids any public body except the Legislature from restricting the rights of concealed weapons permit-holders to bring guns where they wish.


He's already been indited and bail set by the courts.  He will not be released unless he posts bail or if the prosecutor's office changes their mind and decide not to pursue the case.


Unless and until we know the identity of the person or persons calculating rail estimates, all rail estimates by HART should be considered dubious, not credible.
For years HART has fed the public with fictitious and dubious estimates.
It is time the public should know how and why by identifying the person or persons responsible for making fictitious and dubious rail estimates.
All planning on the future of rail construction are all meaningless when estimates are fictitious or dubious.


Nice color picture of your good side brah!  Is that eye make-up you're wearing?  Could have been on da show with Chumlee if you pawned in Vegas instead.


Well...come on...you don't totally disagree. My point was there were some spots open for competition and others were not. The Jordan Taylor's and the Marlon Brown's and such like were in heated competitions. Was Aqib Talib? Was Von Miller? Was T.J. Ward? Was Demarius Thomas? Was Emmanuel Sanders? Was Derek Wolfe? Was Chris Harris JR? Some of the lesser players are in a fight to make the roster. I conceded that point in two different posts.
The Little Guy


Tough talk with the Americans may be the best strategy at various times, but boasting about tough talk is a dubious strategy. As for her anecdote about 'walking away' over the EU trade deal...I'm reminded of that cringeworthy 'And then I rolled the dice' TV interview with Brian Mulroney over the Meech Lake Accord.

It's interesting that never, since perhaps the War of 1812, has Canada had to consider the possibility of a US administration that may actually wish to do us harm. And make no mistake, someone as unstable, unprincipled, and self-absorbed as Donald Trump can do a lot of harm. Of course we stand up for our social and democratic principles, and point out in clear terms the damage that could be done to the US in any 'trade war' scenario. We also lobby strongly the governors of 15 or so states for which we are their largest market. But let's keep the 'tough talk rhetoric' to a minimum, and focus on desired results.


This is fake news.  You have just made this up.
America is not against people of color (aka black people).
You have just put words together without any supporting evidence or facts.  Shame on you for stirring the pot.


I'm going to post this again, because there is no way it was uncivil.

1. A-Chord, Gee's column in no way called for ridding Canada of all evidence of Christianity.

2. Allowing one religious group to use a room for 20 minutes a week for prayer is in no way comparable to letting one religious group run an entire public school board.


In the vernacular, this is called "setting the fox to guard the chicken coop".


Sometimes we need to be reminded that by strict legal definition, probably about 12% of the male population and 5% of the female population have done or otherwise committed some illegal sexual act or situation with at least 1 under aged person.  Prosecution to the full extent of the law of this mass of population is simply not going to happen, and should not happen.  So we pick our priorities on this carefully.


“I think the public will be happy with those that we selected,” he said.
I can't remember the last time the public was happy. It concerns me when he uses the word "think" in a sentence.


Yessir!


I know it's been a year, but if you try to remember that general election ballot, there were only 3 names to choose from. It washes just fine.


"Practice for what?" - .....hitting targets. And I don't call it "practice," but you seem to like the term.

"The purpose of a gun is not to be a long-distance hole punch for a paper target." -- it is if I want it to be. Olympic shooters do it every day-- you would sure hurt their feelings with such talk. LOL

"and that's nothing to be irrationally afraid of," -- NOW you're on fire!

"Don't try to sugarcoat it or pretend it isn't," -- oh no: colder.....

Modern feminism needs to pick a side of the fence to be on.
Either victims/children or independent adults with agency.

I have to work hard and protect myself to get through life.  I'll only make a  commitment to provide for and protect my children while they are children, not when they become adults.

Now that he's recused himself, there needs to be an independent commission to investigate this.  Mr. Comey is not a trustworthy party.  Nor, of course, is Congress.  Let the commission mandate and members be selected by federal judges, perhaps the SCOTUS.


A really fundamental problem Mr. Trump has in working with anyone is simply the currency of his word. What is a Trump promise worth?

That is indeed radical. My first reaction is that you can't get there from here, because we have deeply entrenched and powerful interests. Certainly administrators, who control the payroll, overpay themselves and create administration-heavy institutions; this has also happened in education at all levels, but particularly in universities, and that has added tremendously to costs. That situation might be amenable to reform. Maybe a nationalized system in health (and separately, in education) could be initiated as a parallel provider, but given the current political climate I don's see Congress acting on that, any time soon. Perhaps it could emerge from a major catastrophe such as WW II. As it is, many of our physicians seem more dedicated to getting rich than to first, doing no harm.


What a bunch of sanctimonious  hogwash. These breakfasts have always been peppered with humor and joking around. You have an ax to grind, not a valid point to make.


Too bad the Russians had to go and invade Ukraine, eh? I guess Moscow doesn't value healthy relations with its neighbour.


This is obviously part of the dirty tricks campaign. Suddenly there is this emerging labelling of "white members" of the ANC, specifically referring to people some of whom made sacrifices that the Collen Maines and Mosebenzi Zwanes could not even consider. Again we see a ANC that is sacrificing  principle for expediency. In short it is no longer a coherent party, but a bunch of individuals pursuing various personal goals. In township contempt we can only say "sies".

Firstly we should revisit China's 3rd world status as it relates to good shipped into Canada...very few people seem to know that goods coming from China are not taxed and in fact are shipped free by Canada post as part of an underprivileged deal with us...strange they can buy us 100 times over and we give them special access and treatment to our country..I say no to that !!! as they have no intention of reciprocating agreements or respecting them...  they can easily shut us down in their country - given their laws and judicial system,...something we can not easily do here..


I'm pretty sure that Ann Robson is definitely left, not right.


Not sure if this provides an accurate assessment of the path to opioid addiction.  While it is true that some people get addicted to these agents who get them from the Dr, I DOUBT the majority do.  Actually I think they get it from street Drugs, and the Dealers are the culprits.  Smoke and mirrors.


Ah the latest conspiracy theory - the "deep state".  What rubbish and evil rubbish at that.  How convenient an explanation coming from a gang that is being called on the carpet by the media for lying poorly and inconsistently.  The folks who stand-up for following the rules and the law in a democracy and for shining the light on situations where this may not be happening are not an illegal conspiracy trying to do someone down for personal or ideological reasons.  They are the people supporting the basic institutions that protect democratic and civil rights:  The courts who ensure the law is enforced fairly and the media whose job is to hold the government of the day to account publicly.  Accusing them of being in a conspiracy is the first step in de-legitimizing them and if that continues, you will soon find yourself without a democracy.


Dear God, I hope not.


The bishops'e re-branding themselves will be even less effective than when Esso re-branded itself as Exxon.They stopped caring about the laity a long time ago. They regard the laity as poltroons who live on their estates.If they are to be effective, they have to regain trust. Unfortunately, once trust is lost; it is exceedingly difficult to restore it. Indeed, it may even be impossible for them to do so.


The biggest mistake was Chretien pressing the Pakistani government so hard to release his known terrorist father Ahmed Khadr from prison at the onset.

Liberals conveniently want t forget this important fact.

Chretien didn't do the smart thing leaving him where he belonged but instead vouched for Ahmed to return to Canada enabling him to continue radicalizing the entire Khadr family.

If it wasn't for Chretien's blunder and intervention we wouldn't be dealing with all this mess in the first place let alone dealing with the Liberal's compliance with the US early on to house Omar in Gitmo to hopefully sweep Chretien's initial mistake under the rug.


HA HA HA HA, what a bunch of clowns. Nobody talked about sacred in my piece or religion. Always trying to change the narrative as usual to fit your beliefs. The issue again was the lack of stewardship from UH.
The ones that want to talk about hawaiian religion should talk about their own first. Senator Akaka is a fine man but he was a US senator not a voice of Hawaiians, nor am I. I am just a spectator who sees the inevitable.
If you want to debate about religion or TMT do it in a mirror.


How on earth can you apply your Algebra teacher's statement to History?  History has taught us how even the 'nicest' people behave when told it is okay to beat up a person with a different belief.  During the Civil Rights protests, anti-integration zealots attacked (killed) not only Blacks but anyone who defended them and their rights as citizens.  Nazis attacked  (killed) Jews at first, then anyone who helped them, then anyone they could label as 'lesser'.  I don't think anyone here is advocating for censorship of the airwaves.  As you say, flying the Confederate flag may be just a form of 'flippin the bird'.

I may very well stop in at Pop's Smokehouse and try the Cheerwine; it sounds like fun, but not if I have to listen to any hate-filled rhetoric.  I have quite a few relatives who disagree me on things political, and we simply don't mention them when together.


No, Bill made her a victim and you are victim shaming to justify your misogyny or narrow mindedness, whatever your hang up might be. She was a victim 20 years ago and has dealt with it and moved on. She's not going around playing victim and has done quite well for herself since then.


This editorial could not be more wrong. Clinton's unpopularity is not because she's wonky or a workaholic. It's because of her governmental history.


Typical Conservatives, when you don't like the rules, change them to suit your broken ideology.


This is going to kill the villages.


Well not ex cathedra means not a dogma that can't change - so that is what.  And its a what that matters a lot.

Where is your proof that God did not call me to priesthood?  This accusation which you cannot prove is sinful and hurtful and you are responsible to God if you do not repent of it.  Not being ordained because our bishops, for now, still support sexism in this church is not evidence.  Evidence would be some kind of writ which you could prove was written in Christ's own handwriting stating that Nora Bolcon was not called to ordained priesthood.  If simply not being ordained yet meant a person was not called by God, then none of our seminarians are called by God to be priests because they are not ordained yet either.
Trent was a council which the emperor demanded women be kept out of having a voice.  This created a biased council to start with, and since God does not respect sexism, even though Constantine did, this means we were wrong to allow the bias then.


Oh this is just the tip of the iceberg, as government tries to bridge the gap in revenue, as payroll and benefit costs keep climbing.
