Still, Carlos likely doesn't use either/or and isn't in position to favor pads. We have different preferences in my own household and I expect the big world of women also has preferences.


but then the law means nothing to you -

you make things up as you go along


Strange that after 2 days there hasn't been any further detail from any media outlets... especially when one of the women was shot in the initial raid, you'd think there would be something to talk about.


Lawyers are the only winners here.


Texas  is  a failed  society,  according  to  some  minor  idiot  on here?  Perhaps  he  could  comment  on  Baltimore, Chicago, Detroit,  etc. Ran into  the  ground  by  democrats  and  hoody  wearing  killers?


That is, it should acknowledge reasonable counterarguments and alternative points of view.  Of course there's no need to address flat earth theory or piece of junk science.


Anyone who doesn't have enough intelligence to keep their damning emails from getting hacked by the Russians has no business running for POTUS, let alone getting elected as POTUS.   The Donkey is a very fitting mascot for the Democratic Party.

I think we can all agree that the only hope for the DNC is to run Mad Maxine Waters or Nasty Nancy Pelosi in 2020.  I can hardly wait to watch Rachel Madcow cry again on national television.


The article doesn't mention how far to term the girl was, but we know she was not in the 3rd trimester. Calling a fetus or an embryo an "unborn child" is disingenuous and reflects neither scientific nor moral realities.


How does CNN get into all your posts?


If you're influential and busy as a bee, you probably don't have the time to scan all information sources. So if you will, consider:

Jeremy Rifkin - Investing in smart cities & regions:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNE2h8pmLn4

Infrastructure is jobs...no argument from me. Paychecks that are out of line with economic reality...will be frowned upon and met with resistance.


It could be that the authors are asked to suggest reviewers and these turn out to be friends or the authors themselves under fake names.


Based on the lies they wrote in the document.


That money didn't go to Trudeau. As far as I know, he has no involvement with that law faculty and no access to the funds in his father's foundation.


So he doesn't trust the Canadian Voter?
This guy is worse than Hillary Clinton and her deplorable comment.


Cassie....it's true that CA is a powerhouse but those other coastal states and major economic centers nationwide that contributed to Clintons popular vote are also helping defray the Trumpies...

It has been suggested that just maybe we need a huge dose of the Trumpies to appreciate collectively as a nation why they are so undesirable....that in a way we have gotten spoiled thinking that clean air, clean water,environmental concerns worldwide,  Medicare and health care for the poor, civil liberties, the needs of the poor, the immigrants et al are values that we can take for granted.....this election clearly proves how wrong that thesis is...(Obama in France recently made the point that we can't just take these issues for granted because things have gone well in the past....)

And sadly I think we, as a nation, are going to learn the very hard way....and so many here and worldwide are going to be hurt. As will the environment be terribly impacted....


Over the years in Hawaii, the courts have been tough on lawsuits against developers for "broken promises". There are usually disclaimers in sales documents, condo registrations, maps, and drawings or in the final contract. There are also practical issues involved in enforcing rulings against the developer. If a developer has had to change its plans for financial reasons, it is not likely to be able to afford restoration of the project to original scheme or to pay compensation or damages to the buyers.


A plague on both their houses, as far as I'm concerned.  I dislike O'Leary but let's find out what's going on before resorting to name calling.

Trump has now admitted sharing "facts" with the Russians, something that was vehemently denied yesterday by Tillerson and McMaster. Tillerson lost his credibility a while ago. McMaster was pushed in front of the press yesterday because he was the last person in the White House who could be trusted, and now his integrity and reputation, built over decades of service, are in ruins. His choices are to resign immediately or to swallow his pride and hang on, hoping that the 25th Amendment will be invoked soon.


"Canada" is not addicted to fentanyl. Particular individuals are. You can try to negate individual responsibility by invoking group blame. Unsurprisingly, that doesn't work. As long as people aren't encouraged to accept responsibility for their actions, and the remedy is expected to come from outside the individual, the problem will not, and cannot, be resolved.


EVERYTHING is too difficult for Susan Collins, especially  being a U.S. Senator.


How is that desperate?


"Does this argue for the elimination of the Eastern Catholic Rites?"
your comment illutrates the needto differentiate between latin or Roman Catholic and the universal Catholic Church.
The NO Mass has no application to the Eastern Catholic churches.  We have our own liturgies.


What BC do you live in?  Carbon tax has been effective at getting Lower Mainlanders to beetle over to Blaine Wash. to fill up their gas tanks, maybe. Everything that requires transportation becomes more expensive.  Everyone pays.


Rather, the quotes should go around "accomodate Vatican II reforms".  Now that anyone can go online and read the actual Vatican II documents, we can see the iconoclasts used Vatican II as an excuse to destroy what previous generations' blood, sweat, and tears built up and  left us. No one can point to a Vatican II quote saying tear out the altar rails.


Great question.
It does not make the news because we MSM is scared it would be seen as islamophobic.


The first step to a solution is to admit you have a problem.

"United States Comes in Last Again on Health, Compared to Other Countries"

"The U.S. spends more on health care than any other country, but what we get for these significant resources falls short in terms of access to care, affordability, and coordination," said Commonwealth Fund President Dr. David Blumenthal.

The weaknesses predate the 2010 Affordable Care Act,

I looking for a home in Alaska but I am going to wait until the Trans Alaska Pipeline shuts down so I get buy property in Alaska at pennies on the dollar!

Maybe you will sell me your home when you leave Alaska. Maybe then Alaska oil workers will help make Alaska great again and drill baby drill!

If you drill and find oil and produce it then you can own oil otherwise you don't own it, do you understand the oil business?


I feel stupid in written debate with you as you raise things I've never heard of (feel as if I live under a rock). Molehill stamping? (don't know what it means) but I guess it means I'm acting stupidly or some such thing. Straw man - this label was applied liberally during 2011 and 12 on various forums. For me it boils down to doing what comes naturally and logically without understanding epistemology like you clearly do. As an unscientific, molehill stamping, straw man builder I'll simply focus on my own references for what feels right or wrong and continue to do what I have since January 2011.

It appears that there is not one thing that I've said or written with which you have even a slight inclination to agree. I respectfully (sans any sarcasm) concede that I can't find any common ground with you and based on the last few days have no cause to believe I ever will. I'm dumbfounded (you probably have a label for that state too) that (in your view) I can be so wrong all of the time.


Was just down at the Library. I think both are working now.


Actually I am quite nice. I am very self-aware. And I am Native. Indigenous people have lost strength and culture because of their dependence on "big government" as you put it. It is a type welfare cycle that has to be broken. Our tribal governments have a great deal of financial resources that benefit a few - the "it's not what you know but who you know mentality." It is time for our tribal leadership to step up and lead our people and protect our people as our ancestral chiefs did.


I provided 4 from across the spectrum. Unsurprisingly all of them disproved the point you made.   Since I didn't make a point other than say your source was wrong and biased you can't possibly argue that it argued against my position.   Thanks for trying though I usually expect better from your arguments.


It's been a waste? Citation needed.

Hey Keolu... these are your lies not mine. What I said is the truth...


I had a similar experience with him and the charges were outrageous. Very, very large ego!


Sneaky rat editor is pulling some crap on me. Here it is:
What the...did I pick up the wrong paper? An article not bashing America on the opinion page? I declare that a first in this paper's history. There's always a dig against patriots somewhere. I think it's part of their disguise, they have decided to try to pose as objective reporters? Ha. I'd help. I would write a letter to the editor, but he won't print it. It's not his fault, I just can't write any such letter without starting with,"Dear miserable @#$!! traitor rat%%^#! What can I say, I loath an America hating commie rag.


Most expensive cellular carrier out there. I guess they have to pay thousands of lazy union workers. LOL


Virtue signal received by fellow "liberal media" commenters.


We did not return their assets, because if that were true, they would have been returned in 1980 under the Reagan administration. Instead the assets were used to bribe Iran into compliance, which is not happening.  Iran's nuclear program is continuing to develop as it was before.


What happened to all the old comments?


Does Trump have any idea how many millions of people around the world are laughing at him nonstop?


Likewise the conservative seem to be unable to answer the same questions.  The difference is Watters will chose which responses to show the viewers.  If he was truly interest in presenting the fair and balanced, the FOX mantra,  than he would take the first ten people on the street and ask them the questions and show all ten responses.  I assure you I could easily ask 20 people the same question. Then by choosing three those whose answers support my views I would prove my point.


CAEL....I genuinely think that pretty much no one even cares about this meeting...except those attending. This is highly "skippable data".....


That's the lamest excuse that someone like Hillary can come up with after her defeat. Democrats (and a lot of the Liberal media around the world) just underestimated Trump. Plain and simple.

Nothing more pitiful than a sore loser.


Yesterday, Morneau said the economy created 450,000 new full time jobs in the last year.  He also said the avg Canadian income is $45,000 per year.
btw, this year's deficit of $23 billion has very little to do with new infrastructure.  OR that $23 billion divided by $45,000 equates to 511,000 avg Canadian incomes.  Yet next year we will have the debt and interest pymts to pay back.


A great column.

Small quibble with "Coptics, an Orthodox-Christian group," - there are Catholic Copts.  Majority are Orthodox, including the ones who were targeted on Palm Sunday.


Intolerant liberals here calling others intolerant.
Liberalism is a mental disorder.  The sooner we rub it out of Western culture, the better.


Hot on the trail of a baby moose


Raised... I can't speek to what "something" tells you as that seems to be a personal issue that can only be worked out by you. But I can say that I believe my dad's tears were brought on by the lost and scared look on the faces of the children in the news interview. I think it brought back those feelings from his youth. I can't imagine what he went through. I don't think the fact that a 90 day ban on refugees from these countrys was going to save us from totalitarianism ever crossed his mind.


When I was a computer science student 15 years ago at UofT, computer science was predominantly male (25% of female students sounds about right), and top of the class was even more predominantly male. Back then, graduate schools were focused on recruiting female students to help the field become more diverse, so it's not the lack of opportunities.

 If I fast-forward to today, about half of the female computer science students I knew left the field, largely because the opportunities in the fields they left for were better.

 From what I here, there is less computer science students now that there were 15 years ago. Where will all these female CEO's come from?


They hate us anyway,  there is no "now Trump made it Worse"  They hate us ...end of.


More Americans work at Arby's than in coal mining.


Steeler I did not mention muslims, I am concerned about the crimes committed by all aliens.  And in some areas it may be cited as an epidemic. Search MS13 and see what is happening with that immigrant group.  Largely settled in the area by Obama letting in the supposed "teens' crossing the southern border. The heartbreak to the families of the dead high school students by members of this gang. You can say omg to those families but it won't bring back the victims.


APPEARS HE USED NOT ONE CENT OF HIS WINDFALL FROM THE STATE WHEN HE SUED FOR SEXUAL HARASSMENT WHERE THEY HAD HID HIM FROM PUBLIC VIEW IN A STATE JOB,  WHEN IT WAS DISCOVERED HE WAS HIRED BY RENTON CITY COUNCILMAN ED PRINCE TO BE HIS OFFICE MINION ON THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMISSION WHERE HE COLLECTED A PAY CHECK FOR A YEAR DOING NOTHING, EXCEPT RUN AROUND ON ED'S CAMPAIGN FOR THE CITY COUNCIL ,  AND THEY THREW HIM A $60k BONE TO GO AWAY.......AUBURN LET HIM ON THE PARKS BOARD, WHAT NUMSKULLS ........MOVED TO AUBURN, WHERE HE IS FOSTERING ANOTHER RUN AT SOME NEW AND WILD RESUME OF INFLATED DO NOTHING , I AM SURE.....


Bernie should try to get a doctor in Vancouver or sit on the waiting list for essential medical treatment.
Frankly, i am not sure which of the two is the worse, but neither the US or the Canadian system is working well.


It's not merely a difference of opinion, but one of several ongoing attempts to return "ambient" white supremacy to its former status of "official" white supremacy--like that preached by Teddy Roosevelt without apology or prevarication because it reflected the fundamental nature of this society. The US is and has always been a white supremacist nation. It's social, political, economic, legal and educational institutions are inherently white supremacist. Most white so-called "liberals" can no more hold a conversation outside the limits of their ideological talking-points with a black or brown person than a "conservative" can tolerate being disputed by one. An "honest conversation about race is not allowed" because most white Americans don't want one. The very idea threatens their illusion that they're "the good guys". That's why the first thing they do when someone points out the enduring white supremacist nature of their institutions is to howl "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY-cist"!!!


Comey did lie. Comey said he never wrote other memos after meeting with another President, not true. Comey admitted writing a memo after meeting with Bush, in a book by Barton Gellman. We also now know why James Comey wasn't interested in finding who was leaking government information, because Comey, himself was leaking.

All this about the Russians hacking the election all happened on Obama's watch, and yet some how a candidate had something to do with it, how? By talking to someone? Who's responsible work computer security, Federal and State governments regarding an election? If we are to believe James Comey there is nothing we, the government can do to prevent the Russians from meddling in our affairs, that is a poor reference as to the direction that country has gone.


If you barely graduated HS you shouldn't waste your time in college.


the MSM acts like no one read the podesta emails, we all know how badly the bias runs
even today,the wapo is reporting that trumps numbers are down in their latest polling,they fail to tell anyone that they only polled 23% gop in their poll,they had 35% dems and approx the same number of independents
they purposely under poll trump supporters and then act like he is losing his base.


I won district championship while at North in two forms of debate, extemporaneous speaking and impromptu.    I suppose we like to do what we are good at.   I thought this would be fun and I wanted to get to know the community better.     Instead, I think I've gotten a very sour side of Eugene and missed out on those that go about their lives doing what they love.

My problem is that I love developing arguments.   It gives me something to think about, it drives me to look at new resources on the internet, etc.    A real debate has rules as well as a declared winner. (a real consequence for what say).    Those that are entertained by petulant insults, or find mocking other people funny would lose badly in debate.

Now that's I'm working full time, I spend far few hours on line, often evenings after talk has slowed.   That's probably a good thing for me.


Approving it and getting it built are two entirely different things. I doubt this approval by her friend in Ottawa will be enough to save Notley.


The approval was by a slim margin. Hardly a majority. The city messed up on the cost estimate because I remember years ago Cliff Slater of HonoluluTraffic.com mentioned at one time the cost being $6.4 billion when the city was saying around $3.5B.


Actually, Muck, I prefer to hear all sides, even yours.  I might not agree, but I at least want to hear it.  Long ago learned no one has a monopoly on being right.  However lots seem to think they do.


After making the outrageous suggestion that the Kim regime is even remotely concerned about protecting the Korean people, just how is calling you a DPRK apologist an insult when you clearly are one?

As for “If the poster had an argument they would have used it”, you must have conveniently overlooked the first sentence of my post: “History has clearly shown that the biggest threat to the people of North Korea are the Kims”.

BTW, how’s the weather in Pyongyang these days?


Reasonable decision by the Court, although it would never had been challenged in the first place if the previous president had issued the order.  Bottom line hasn't changed.......anyone entering the US with intent to harm have lots of other entry points


The Democratic party of today is like Abraham Lincoln's Republican party with its social outreach and actions.  Lincoln cared for every person and had deep conscience and concern for the welfare of the nation.


Yeah, your limited education, ...that's not an 'ad hominem' attack.

That was simply a factual statement.

It's not an ad hominem attack to point out simple, clear, evident, verifiable facts.

(...continuing education opportunities are available to you, take advantage of it,

…it can only do you good.)


I doubt you have 30 pine trees in your yard.  Possibley white spruce.


Another Royism.


Khadr is a now great hero to many Muslims who live in Canada. He confounded America and now Canada. He will be a guest of honour in every mosque he visits and a role model for young Muslims in their quest for jihad.


The man's heritage isn't an issue; not at all.  He's in prison for one reason and one reason only - he broke the law.  It doesn't matter your heritage, nationality, ethnicity, gender . . . break the law - go to prison.   Screw up in prison, go to solitary.  Simple!


Indeed it is a Canadian topic, but oz as you would know, and Canada, are very similar, and lived in Canada for some time, I can't help drawing a comparison on social issues like this one. Maybe Canada is more progressive than oz, afterall Multiculturalism is one of your greatest exports, and if the legal dope regime works out, maybe we'll stumble down that road as well. As for the ''riot''--tongue in cheek mate. No Australian government, federal or state is that brave.


I would think that anything that a Liberal government does would be Liberal. I would say of Harper's period in office:

"Conservative fiscal ineptitude.
Not surprising from a Conservative Gov't."

Harper's fiscal performance was even worse than Mulroney's


So we have "democratic marches" protesting against the results of a "democratic election".  This will only help to ensure that Trump and his deplorables stay on for 8 more years, not 4.


I don't watch propaganda films.

In my universe the police are bettered armed than the civilians. Of course that's not the way it is in the Smith and Wesson co-prosperity sphere.


Where do you get that the reason he became non-competitive was his "lavish" lifestyle?  Per the article he lost $1.7M in contracts this year because when he tried to hire just Americans he couldn't get the work done and it was poorer quality.  A seasonal small business can only exist with repeat customers and stable contracts.
Landscape firms have an average profit margin of 5% to 7%.  As labor is the largest expense, just how much do you think he could raise wages before he would have no customers and be out of business?


The village idiot.


Why doesn't he question all the missed tackles?


Knew a lot of car guys in my younger days, when I was a car guy.  Great guys, but none of them would have made good priests.  They had some interesting posters and calendars on their shop walls.  Know one who still wrenches on old bikes and his '65 Mustang.  He also likes to plant flowers...


Christian's better wake up, sharia law will have your heads


John your basing you post on the best  possible-maybe scenario. Spending the money is a real expense not a maybe scenario.  The $ 400 billion over 25 years is a best case scenario. However you left out all the other possibilities including building the line and never having it operate at a brake even.  You can invest all your money but you alone don't get to chose how others invest theirs. I ask why industry is not jumping into the act rather than staying away?

At this point the actual cost for the line is still being presented as an engineering guess. Considering how often these "guesses" are significantly under actual cost the rates of return you site can change substantially.


Oh, that's original.


Comey:

And to tell you the truth, I'm not even sure what "uniting" means.  If the man proposes something that I can support -- even partly, I will support it.  I cannot support his proposals merely because he is president.  There were things that Obama said and did that I did not like and there was MUCH that happened during Clinton's administration that I did not like or support.
I think that the initiatives of this administration have so far been horrific, and we can talk about specifics, if you like.  I cannot support the Health Care proposal, or the proposed budget, or the sudden bombing of Syria (which made no difference anyway, except for using up fuel and ordinance), or any of the other things that his administration has proposed or done.  If he were to propose what I consider to be rational immigration law reform, I would support it in a heartbeat.


You're mistaken sir. The NRA doesn't arm anybody. It is the nation's oldest civil rights organization and it works to protect a Constitutional right from those who seek to erode and dismantle it.


You're focusing on the wrong thing, Jeff.  The problem isn't one of changing what people think, but what they do -- like murder innocents doing nothing more offensive than indulging in practising their faith.


Get your own account, quit trolling someone else's account.


Considering the first sentence that I received via e-mail, it's not hard to see why it didn't make it through.   Disgraceful.

Apparently, you have also determined not to listen to your candidate - her speech is one that even I, someone who dislikes and mistrusts her, can appreciate and hope that people like you pay attention to.


Knock knock...who is there? President Donald Trump for the next 8 years SUCKA...LOLOLOLOL


$2 million is far short of what should be required in bonding. Make that $20M, close up all the holes, & get PEBBLE the heck out of there.


Do you remember when the US wanted to sell De Russey for millions, to pay down on the national debt?  And do you remember the State of Hawaii said that that land was taken for reason of defense...and since it was no longer needed for that purpose, it should be returned to the State of Hawaii?  It still, however, remains in some capacity as military, and there stands Hale Koa...the place for R&R of our warworn troops and their families.  So it remains military property?
So what is the citizens protesting...it gets blurred with the who, what, or why of citizen chatter!


Women of color? What color, white?


As soon as Winnipeg gets an NBA team I'm sure they'll be more than happy to cover it.

Ha Ha  Well I think taxes ARE specific.  And I agree, paying taxes IS patriotic.  It's how we (the US) pay for everything.  I don't agree with all taxes, but that's not my job.  My job is to pay the taxes appointed to me by elected officials. Just because I don't like who got voted in or what they decree, doesn't mean I don't "have" to pay those taxes. I do and I do. America rocks!!! I learned later in life, the more I pay, the more I get back as a senior.

I agree. Catou and I don't agree on many issues, but there was nothing I saw uncivil about his comment here.

I would not have replied to his comment if I had.


How about a hug?


Most people attribute leadership to Lincoln and most people know Lincoln was Republican.   The only thing that matches your 95% number is the level of your personal paranoia.

The majority of Republicans also signed the Civil Rights laws as well.  The attempt to block poor voters and specifically black voters that lean Democrats originated with Bush Jr's(Carl Rove) insight into leveraging the white Evangelical South for voting strength.    The party capitalized on the mostly unspoken bigotry toward blacks in the South and wrapped their intentions in self-righteous religious cloth.

Now the pretense is dropped and the alt-right becomes the center of Republican politics with their very own President.  I have hopes that Republicans of good will and high ethical standards will continue to push back toward the party of Lincoln.


My God opposes evil. Some incredible evil is located in some foreign countries. I would say North Korea is one of those, and not a new one known for that either. Everyone is just upset because they read the word Trump.  That word seems to do that, dunno why.


Canada is back


And how do we do Arctic intercepts if our fighters are based in the UK?


Xavier,

Do you have any facts to back up your claim to the future Councilman's "thug" status?  I think Mr. Stoehr's victory says more about he current state of Springfield politics.


80% success rate.....I guess the military is happy with that?.....but shouldn't we be worried about the 20% failure rate?  So North Korea fires 5 missiles and one will get through to Hawaii.....assuming they can aim the darn thing.


I do NOT like Sales Calls or unsolicited phone calls either.  They are the one of the worst things about electronic devices.  The Federal No call lists work for a while, maybe a month or two, then they start in again.   What works for me is, if I do not recognize the number, which usually has a different area code, I do NOT answer it.  If it is important, the calling party will leave a message.


The hell with it, lets just annex Mexico. LOL


More excellent scientific information from ADN and its equally excellent journalists.  A valuable service to the entire state and beyond.


I didn't say better, or less crazy, I said stable.  Pence wouldn't be constantly on Twitter contradicting himself and whining about the media.  He'd be much more in the background working his agenda & at least, appearing more "Presidential". Out of the fire & into the frying pan is not a good thing.


But, but....They told us it was good for us, that it would cure everything from dandruff to gonorrhea. Please don't tell us all these "Health Professionals" lied to us AGAIN! say it isn't so.


They had their voice: 55 electoral votes.

In California itself their voice was heard when they reelected Governor Medfly in 2011.

California, with 12% of the United States population, has one-third of the nation's welfare recipients. It has the third highest per capita spending on welfare among the states, as well as the highest spending on welfare at $6.67 billion. The state's debt is a bit over $132 billion.

California levies a 13.3% maximum marginal income tax, has a state sales tax of 7.5%, with local governments levying additional sales taxes.

All real property is taxable annually.

The Electoral College prevented California from exporting their mess to the nation as a whole.


I respect people who have earned my respect, not those who my PM suggests I should respect!


While TrumpUSA is proving to be empty... on a short lease for obvious reasons.... he does illustrate a few things.  The system that produced the TrumpUSA phenomenon can no longer "lead".  It is doubtful that this situation would have emerged without the ill-considered but necessary intervention of Bernie, without the unbelievable corruption of the Clintons... But it did happen and now the USA has to focus its strength on wriggling out from the mess they have self-inflicted.  They cannot even lead themselves politically and no other country is lining up for anything from the USA except money.  They cannot afford nor profit from their situation and have been wandering around in a void for decades.  Leadership exists when people want or need it.  It cannot be forced on anyone.  The Chinese offer it.  TrumpUSA (so far) are trying to grab it.

That would be a very charitable view, IMO.


This is why Islam is such a threat. It's 14th century thinking will destroy us.
The Christian world is disintegrating and the flood of Muslims will take over the West.
I give it 10 years tops before all politicians and bureaucrats are Muslim. The takeover will be complete and sharia law will take over from British Law. The descent to tyranny will be complete.
Liberalism is to blame as well.
It is a fact not racism


So if taking a beating makes you stronger and shows what a strong person you are, why are you not still abusing your body?

Oh you grew up and realized that getting hurt sucks. You sound like someone that takes joy in the pain of others. Through some sadistic urges you feel the need to abuse children based on a pattern of abuse that you yourself suffered.

Equating the ability to deal with pain with your stature in society is a BS game that adults play with children, even when if it was you with the bad enough scraped knee you would be at the hospital asking for pain killers, or do you think it is the kids that are hooked on opiates?


Add to that, the Rs have it in, for Mr Herz, as he accurately reports their goings on. They don't like him, and they make no secret of it. Pete Kelly won't answer his questions, and Chris Birch complained about him by name, on the house floor.

Because he gets under their skin, simply by reporting the truth, they're likely to high-five Wilson, and slap him on the back, in private.


"White House unveils ‘Made in America’ week, though many Trump products are made overseas"

That's soooo unfair to point out Trumpian hypocrisy.


Again a slanted article!  Instead of praise for the new alignment, all we get is negatism from this writer and against the OIA.


Here's what we can really take away from this article:
1. Opinion polls are largely inaccurate (which we knew anyway)
2. The DUP nearly always voted with the Conservatives anyway, so no change there.
3. The vote had nothing to do with Brexit. The Labour party is also in favour of Brexit, so how do you explain that?


Even if that is true does it stay true when the money in the Permanent Fund runs out?


What the heck is wrong with that guy? For sure, his screws are loose.


I hope all that implies that these countries are friendly allies.  There seems to be some question where Russsia is concerned.

In the Virgin island where there is almost complete destruction of the system building a DC minigrid structure with underground cables and home circuits with home DC for at least things like LED lighting and solid state devices would make a more robust and efficient system.
Planners should not give in to pessimism of those concerned about change.


Oh yes it is. There's no way you can treat Toronto this way and expect my support. No vote, no money.


You really do.  Look it up.


Count this Ivy League grad as anti-intellectual.  In the US, with more and more people going to college, we have more and more stupid people thinking that they are smart.    They seem to think that sitting through a bunch of lectures, particularly those in the social sciences, by "those who teach" and memorizing their propaganda raises them to a different level of social status, smarter than others.

But what's a shame is how part of the brainwashing makes them speak differently, putting on airs, to make themselves sound smarter than they really are.  They're human computers, programmed by elitist professors to turn people into wanna-be intellectuals; still unable to think, just regurgitating the memory from their hard drives.

Look at the whole climate change fiasco: no one dare question the (crap) data analysis, because, you know, it was generated and analyzed by scientists who went to college and became smart just like they did.  Meanwhile, many shunned science courses as too hard


The undemocratic tendencies of this left wing government continue unabated.

Now that they've recognized that tampering with democracy to clearly favour the LPC isn't as easy as they thought it was going to be....they've backtracked on their entire pledge and blamed the electorate for not arriving at a clear consensus.

A clear disdain for democracy that has presented itself in instance after instance after instance amongst the left.

There, give that one a try at censorship Thomas.  I toned it down a bit.


It also measures common sense, which numerous posters have made glaringly clear they simply do not possess. Comparing a vehicle used primarily for transportation being misused to a gun, which has the primary purpose of killing, is wildly misleading at the very least....


I would love to be your investment manager if you believe the BS they are spewing.  The Perm Fund has only earned 6.4% over the last 5 years, and 1.35% over the last 12 months. So if we had those 5% bonds outstanding, we would have made 1.4% over the last 5 years, and lost 3.65% over the last year. Again, the only thing you guarantee with POBs is what you have to pay bondholders.

Financial accounting 101 tells us that, unless you have a fixed rate security that is guaranteed by the US Gov and you hold it to maturity, your future earnings are anything but certain. So a snake-oil salesman pitching an 8% return on our investment is a liar.

Now, if the bankers are so certain we can earn 8%, perhaps they would be willing to put that in writing and put their balance sheet at risk--like they are asking us to do. I am confident you would see the backside of their $2k Brooks Brothers suits heading out the door if you proposed that clause.


Is wittle woy still hurt in his butt?


This helps explain why our local Tim Hortons has truly gone down the tubes the last the few years.  Saturday morning, 10am - "sorry we don't have any hashbrowns" ... really??  Go there for lunch --- "sorry we don't have any chilli" ... really?? What's next -- 'sorry we don't have any doughnuts'?  I'm voting with my feet. Enough.


What a bunch of idiots.  Lock 'em up and throw way the key.  Oh, I'm sorry, they're doing their Christmas shopping.  Shame on me!  Black killing black is ok but another nationality killing a black is not ok?  Check the Chicago stats....out numbers any thing else you're come across.  Funny, I don't see them rioting over that.  Just an excuse to cause more trouble.


Younglai writes “the unemployment rate has remained close to the level seen before the [so-called] Great Recession.” (The 1981-82 recession under Trudeau père was much worse than the 2008-09 recession.)  This isn’t really so. Between October 2006 and August 2008, the unemployment rate ranged between 5.8% and 6.1% except for three months when it was 6.2%; the unemployment rate has never been under 6.2% under Trudeau fils, and except for August and September, it has never been as low as 6.2%. Real AHE were only up about 0.9% from October 2016 to October 2017, and the annualized rate of growth of real AHE from October 2015 to October 2017 is only 0.6%.


Anything to continue to bilk the followers out of their money. Lets face it all these claims have a few leaders who are glad to have you or the government fund their theories.


There's nothing wrong with that. What not learn and benefit from the wisdom of others?

No follow-up on Pioneer Home director David Frain, who stole $38k from the residents?  See: https://www.adn.com/anchorage/article/former-pioneer-home-administrator-accused-stealing-money-meant-elderly-resident-fun/2013/08/03/


The alternative is having groups of  prisoners filing through the stairwells, hallways, and courtrooms of Alaska unrestrained and watched by one or two troopers.  It would become a simple matter of three or four making a break in the middle of the courtroom, easily outnumbering the officers.  This is pretrial only, and a necessary security process.  The detainees are allowed much more freedom during individual hearings and trial.  Whether they are chained or not makes absolutely no difference during arrangement, bail hearings, or other pretrial processes.


I'll do your homework for you. Singapore, who is kicking our butt in education, has a standard class size of 60 students. Now I'll speak from experience.
 in 1977 my mother pulled me from OPS, because this problem has been on going even before then, and sent me to England to go to school. England graduated students at 16 years of age, and with the equivalent of our freshman college aptitude. That's 3 years ahead of us at 16. I had to be bumped up 2 grades to be with students my own age.
 I had class sizes of 35-45 students. England was preparing me for college at 17, where I can expect class sizes of 100-150 students.
  The real problem is twofold. #1 our curriculum is trying to teach 95 and less IQ students subjects they will never, ever, be able to grasp. Just read their posts on CC. #2 most of our educators cannot teach at this level regardless the class size.


Look at the face of the guy in the blue plaid shirt and then at Morneau.   Can you pick which one did not declare their villa in France?


Please move to Eugene, you'll like it better there, much more bum and crime friendly.


Kenny did a great job of corralling 75% of the delegates through the nomination process. Now, whether those delegates actually represent the P.C. rank-and-file is another question. The Kenny supporters ticked off a lot of Albertans with their unnecessarily aggressive tactics which caused three candidates to drop out of the race for leader. The P.C. party was actually a pretty moderate party which caused social conservative hardliners to break away and form Wildrose. It's not a given that a combined right wing party can actually win a provincial election.


Appreciate the information - I just didn't know.  Not that I like the answer - but this seems like such a deliberate attempt to undercut the law.  It would be one thing if he hadn't said anything - but such blatant in-your-face attitude - didn't he fire Sally Yates for not defending the law?

No response necessary.  I am being deliberately snarky.


Their son was used and killed in a pointless war, he was a victim of the US military industrial complex.  He parents were used as pawns in a pointless US political circus.  It's disgraceful that this family, parents are child, are/were not smart enough to keep from getting blatantly used by America's corrupt systems.


I watched the part of Trudeau's speech in which he dramatically and indignantly describes how some of Canada's FNs do not have clean water to drink and bathe, and blaming it on colonialism.
My Questions:
Colonialism?  Don't our FN's have self government?
What has Trudeau's Liberal government been doing for the 2 years that they've been in power spending billions of dollars on FNs, and yet they still do not have clean water?  Our Armed Forces did a better job in Afghanistan.  What's the problem Mr. Trudeau with your government?
Why haven't FNs provided their people with clean water and decent housing with the billions of dollars that the Canadian taxpayer gives them every year?
It's time to open the books so the Canadian taxpayer can see what is happening to their hard earned dollars that we give to FNs.


To me this seems just like an extreme example of the abuse of power in the workplace.  Everyone is a potential victim, black or white, male or female, but it is the more vulnerable in society who are the more vulnerable here also.   The problem is in the system... those at the bottom with ambitious tendencies will appease the system since it is their only hope of getting to the top, and will support their bosses at the expense of their fellow employees.  Until society becomes less oriented to individual success and more to advancing the community, I don't see any solution.  Put Weinstein in jail and someone else will take his place, that's all.


Sure...especially when one of the reasons WHY the Iroquois decimated the Hurons was...the Hurons were already decimated, by white man diseases.


Scary.


Yep, you too!  #MAGA!


Considering Trumps whole campaign was to point fingers at Demos an Clinton for lying, he has gotten himself elected by lying. Satan, oh Satan! Come and get em boys. Dont forget those who follow him blindly.


Next on the financial plan: burning the furniture to heat the remaining properties.


Someone need to get the new message to the fool.


Agree UH management needs to do a root cause analysis of declining enrollment to fully understand the problems and causes before they enact any plans or solutions.   Also as the Manoa campus competes with Community Colleges and UHWO for students, they need to consider these entities as part of Systems Thinking.


This is why it behooves all police officers and agencies to keep up on the Legal Updates published and disseminated by the justice department.

We also have Implied Consent, but I knew about the SCOTUS ruling on drawing blood before I retired, and that was almost two years ago.


RangerMC, It's the responsibility of the President to ensure our safety, but his executive orders don't do that.


What makes you think the State is going to lose?


What is true democracy?  And surprise, surprise, media have a bias.  When did they not?


It would be straightforward, if the situation were static.  It isn't.

The question, (which Sky-King chickened out of addressing) is whether there is an amount of INCREASE which is too great a burden to be borne.  Would any of you "pro-military-at-any-price" people care to take that question head-on?  Or would you rather have me just assume I know what you'd really think, but lack the strength of character to admit?  YOUR CHOICE.


It's time to sell the stock.


Kevin Harun & Don Neal- Agreed.
Bill Tolbert - another exercise in obfuscation and illogical thinking to justify the horror that is the Republican Terrorist Traitor Party dictatorship led by the ultimate terrorist - Trump.


Remember: it's foreign money, not foreign nationals. Citizens of convenience don't count as "foreign nationals" but absolutely trade in foreign money.

While I agree that tackling foreign money is important, don't underestimate the impact of local participation/debt. Will foreign money pick up the slack because first-time buyers can't borrow enough. Maybe, but I doubt it.

it is nice to see phil support something besides athletics.  Buuuu-uuutttt. why does everything have to have the knight name? it's getting a bit trump-ish - the desire to see his own name on everything.   that's 3 on campus..the law library, the MK arena and now this. i do think if the u called phil and said that for some ungodly sum, we'll change the name of the university to phil knight U., phil would swallow his tongue trying to say yes fast enough.


Oh brother...here he goes.  Someone needs to muzzle this clown.


It would be a fitting place for these, shall we say, legislators.


keonisakebot?  do you mean john rice, alias keonigohan?


Look at the various trends in the various crimes posted by CBI.  The most remarkable is Rape.  Starting 2012, the number of rapes increased dramatically whil other crimes (including homicide) trended similarly or flat.  The year we legalized marijuana for recreational use.   Not a trend pop culture wants to acknowledge because it does not reinforce their bias.  Why didn't the DP investigate this obvious possible casual link? Because they sell papers reinforcing pop culture beliefs.   The current protest culture does not encourage critical thinking it encourages group think.


Nice job... Attack a man who isn't afraid to put out there who is in a comment section and yet you hide behind an alias.


You got that right.... just count how many vice-presidents there are in Crown Corporations and double it before next election.


However the good folks of Montreal don't want to think about that. They would rather stick with their entitlements in the form of equalization payments from Alberta but shaft this fiscal provider and refuse a pipeline extension that would remove this problem.


Thank you my2cents !!  I proposed that very thing before and have been on radio talk show about it .  It's the only way to a private economy and funded government.  New Wealth comes from the Land  NOT IN THE HANDS OF OUR STATE. The only other way comes from ideas and the Governor and the Legis. has proven they have none!!!


By the way, still waiting to see what qualifies you to comment on, well, anything. Remember you sneeringly demanded to know my qualifications? I provided them.  I'll assume that if you don't produce them, you have none, and are just a bitter, self-involved Republican victim.


Lynn Wilson's story is compelling and inspiring. Most of us do not have the advantage of viewing birth,death and treatment from the point of view of a cultural anthropologist.That point of view shows us that rather than some universally RIGHT way,there are many ways,many choices,based on who we are as individuals,family beliefs, cultural preference and advice from the mental health and medical practitioners with whom one chooses to collaborate at the end of life.The main concept is respect and choice of how ,where, and with whom one chooses to say Aloha.
House Bill 201  provides for freedom of choice and compassionate care at end of life.


just think...your worthless efforts are just that...worthless. gorsuch will be seated, and that's just the beginning sunny. you left wing nuts will be exploding your heads when trump gets done.


Boeing's television ad campaign touting its love and commitment to Canada makes my stomach turn.


More important states?  Are the citizens in the other states less important than those citizens in your so called more important states?


It is true, both 1 Republican, the Clintons and the DNC paid for this dossier to be put together.

The real corrupt part though is....is how Democrats while in Office used this dossier (knowing it was fake) to proceed to

1 - Use as a basis for an FBI investigation
2 - Used the dossier to base the FISA warrants on
3 - ultimately spied on Trump's campaign via the FISA warrants.
4 - Used this dossier to build an investigation against Trump (again while knowing it was fake)
5 - Used the media for the last year to spread "fake news" about Trump and his team...based on this knowing false dossier.

The GOP is being rebuilt right now, the supporters and voting base is making sure of that. McCain, Ryan, Flake, Corker, Mitchell et al, will be gone by the end of 2018 and that portion of the Swamp will be drained (a bit).

The Democrats, well...they have next to nothing right now, and with this information coming out in the MSM (1 year late), they will be forced to purge and rebuild.


How tin eared can the Republicant "leaders" be?  Alaskans (and Americans) want our elected officials to work together for the benefit of all - not ones who kowtow to the party's ideology!  It's like a bunch of little kids saying "if you're friends with him, you can't be my friend too."  Pathetic.


David Grisham, why do you and your group of 'not-anti-gay' friends think it's okay for you to pass judgment on gay people?  And of course you will protest that your aren't passing judgment, you're just doing as your god would have you do, which is...well, passing judgment.  YOUR God is a hateful, ugly god. I have no idea how you fools could be a part of any religion that has so much hatred and ugliness attached to it.  Your Christian religion promotes this hatred.  It singles people out as being 'sinful' and not following YOUR god's demands.  YOUR hateful god, I will add.  Believe what you want, since all that hatefulness and and all those lies have been indoctrinated in you probably since your Sunday school days.  That's YOUR belief. Leave people alone.  Let people live as they choose.  YOU and people like you need to stay out of other folks' business.  Clean up your own dirty sins and stop worrying about everybody else. And go back to Texas.  We have enough like you up here already.


Can't pass a budget or get anything constructive done on behalf of Alaskans or the State of Alaska but by golly, they can sure piss away the money.


Current federal policy regarding lost lands of the nearest kinship group is not assimilation as it is mistakenly practiced by the state agency administering this federal law, badly. It is self determination. Meaning native Hawaiian commerce as well as housing. It doesn't mean the state legislature gets to determine return of the native nearest kinship group to the lost land as per the intent of Congress. The SA persists in using the wrong language, capital "N" Native Hawaiian when the federal law applies only to native Hawaiians, as defined 50-100. A capital N is defined as anyone having ancestry. It is an unconstitutional interpretation of the original law based on that it is the same definition used by KSBE to decide who to permit to apply for entry to the school. The Hawaiian part of the capital N is a racial group according to Rice and federal funds cannot be allocated by Congress for it. Land not homes was the intent of congress. It is not a state law.


Every day the :First Welfare Nations" are upset about something. Get a clue no one cares


WHAT is with these people that just 'react' with a "disagree", but no comment whatsoever.
That only tends to reinforce that they have nothing intelligent to respond with...they just 'feel' that to prosecute Hillary would be wrong. Why?


This very public failure is good news for anybody not holding Pershing shares.

Ackman's style of activism is not healthy for capital markets generally.

Focusing on short term share appreciation rather than growing or building solid companies is parasitic, plain and simple.

If you look at Berkshire Hathaway as another style of activism that has been prove as a sustainable way to be involved, you will see how it should be done.


Today must be a bank holiday in Russia.


OMG this is just painful. What a sham. What a waste of time and money. End this charade now. Everyone knows it's going no where and everyone knows that the "mystery" will never be solved. There is no mystery.

Thank goodness Warren.  You are the future of our species.. .  This 2 party system has failed us. .   .    because it's comprised of us, lol.

You're not trying hard enough sir.

You are 99.99% incorrect my friend!! - a very few people *are* making so much freakin' $$ off this clown car it's not even funny.  People want to blame this or that on "the downfall of the U.S.A." ; missing/single parents, tv, guns, public education, public health-care, social safety nets, the internet, Christianity[or lack thereof, or some other religion], but it appears time & again that our "political 'leaders' " who collect our taxes, feed our innate fears, send our children to wars (most politicians have NOT served), and direct our futures to preserve *their* re-election, these folks (lawyers, lets just call them),  i've reached m


Very interesting article highlighting a lot of hard facts, but also a lot of conjecture in my eyes. Speaking from experience with feral cat populations, I was heavily involved in TNR in Greece for a number of years, particularly on islands in the Cyclades where things can be dire.
We found that the worst thing to hit cats was invariably conjunctivitis, FIV and cat flu. In terms of population I'd say we were dealing with several hundred to 1000 at any given year, a number that remained steady as many cats didn't survive long.
We never found any outbreaks of toxoplasmosis or rabies but we were a coordinated and conscientious team.
The points raised certainly are valid but also highly dependent on location I feel. Truth is one female can be responsible for upto 20000 births if population is left unchecked by neutering so take from that what you will.


He may be bright but that doesn't negate what happened in the past when our lawmakers raided the fund.


I'm sure Tulsi does realize that and that's why she has tried to propose a peaceful solution to end the war; the war never would have even happened if the US hadn't seen literally millions of weapons to the Syria jihadi "rebels."


Previously I have passed the "civil comments" requirement and posted several comments but today I am refused commenting here.  What happened?


"Mom" might indicate any number of people, including my wife, who happens to be a mother. Does your cowardice ever effect other aspects of your life?


Can I put my pink dildo bayonet on it as well, no really this is so funny, not that a chainsaw bayonet isn't real but it's about as practical as putting a 50lb weight on the end of your rifle, I'm sure it will make shooting people in the feet more reliable.  It's a friggin novelty for the "Zombie Apocolypse". You can't have our guns but you can have our bullets one at a time!
Funny thing is that I do not own any guns, nore do I desire to, maybe I should? Way to make us feel safe Libtards!


Let me refresh your memory: 1) The PM at election time was S. Harper 2) S. Harper was also a candidate in this very election. By voting for Trudeau, we got rid of Harper: now who could possibly regret this?


Russia committed crimes against our nation consistent with acts of cyber warfare.   Anyone who thinks this wasn't a massive effort coordinated by the Russian government needs to do some reading.  The fact that a Republican controlled Congress has not recognized these attacks on our nation does not in anyway alleviate the breadth of these attacks nor the damage they have done.


At 16 a citizen may join the Canadian Armed Forces as a reservist, or under the Regular Officer Training Plan. In my opinion (And I'm right!) if you are old enough to fight for your country, you are old enough to vote.


You got ANY thoughts at all? ...original or not? Didn't think so...Just sore loser anti-Trump vitriol.

Yes.


And you play it better than anyone.


TRAIN Canadians to do these jobs.  I can see that a brand new technology might need specialists that we don't have in Canada for a short time.  Otherwise we can train our own people.   It is so short sighted and wasteful to hire outside the country when we have so many well-educated people here that just need some training to do this work.  We need some sort of extra cost to the corporations to encourage them to train Canadians instead of hire abroad, maybe a pricey new tax hit.  The same goes for outsourcing IT to India or China, make the Corporations pay through the nose for this.


Coffee .  Kirk Caldwell got us in this position. They first start a project in the middle of nowhere so we can't stop it. Then they mismanage it so we have to get a ge!  Kirk said middle street then flipped ..  The news continues to lie .. Where did Djou say he was going to raise taxes that's the dishonest Hawaii news now putting words into people's mouth was that a Djou quote!  Coffee where is kirks financial plan? Where is his recovery plan the FTA still waiting he is delaying this project ..


A C-section is performed when the intention is to give birth to a live baby --- the very opposite of a partial birth abortion.  In the latter procedure, the whole purpose of keeping the baby's head in the birth canal is to prevent the whole baby from coming out.  Because if THAT occurs, then the baby cannot be killed; the baby would be, in law, considered to have been born alive.  So the abortionist intentionally keeps part of the baby in the birth canal so as to maintain the fiction that it was "aborted."  Clinton argued for the right to do this.  "Empathy"?  What degree of empathy is due a baby born alive?  That's the degree of empathy to which a partially aborted baby is entitled.

You say 90% of abortions are first trimester.  We're not talking about them.  If only 5 out of 1,000 abortions were partial birth, that's 8,000 babies killed per year.  You accept that?  Q:  What kind of society allows this?  A:  A society of Clinton supporters.  Where's their humanity?


A system that sets the basic requirements for a plan with a tax credit for insurance and a mandate that younger Americans be part of the system?

So you want Obamacare then?


Given that they didn't charge him for a weapons offense he must not have violated that portion of the law.   I.e. He only had a legal firearm with him.   I don't know how you miss 12 times. But I guess anything is possible.


What the established, well done and replicated research shows is not at all what you represent.  What is ideal is having TWO parents involved in the raising of children - no qualifiers are placed on the sex of those parents.  Children form attachments to any set of parents who love them, take at least good enough care of them, and who the child feels like they will be there when needed.  Perhaps really reading the reliable research would expand your knowledge of what works in the care and development of our kids.


As if the Liberals can't spend our money (including our children and grand children's)  fast enough, they have to hand it over to a terrorist as well.

I think their game is to put Canada so far near the brink of financial destruction that the party that replaces them has absolutely no chance of success as they will have nothing to work with.   I guess that is how they guarantee their survival.

It is sicking having had to watch the mess unfold in Ontario and now see it just starting to fester for the entire Country.


And what type am I? Perhaps an American that had his industry run over by illegals? I do not support the ones that take advantage of these people and believe wholeheartedly they should be prosecuted and sent to prison for at least a decade! And by the way, we have fair and workable immigration laws...they just don't want to follow them so these are the consequences.

That brings up an interesting concept: Perhaps NCR should restrict online access exclusively to its paid subscribers. I wonder why it does not.


The trouble is the average Canadian voter isn't politically savvy  enough to think this through.  We accept a sysystem where one riding can have 23,000 voters, and another 113,00.  We really are a "low information voter" country, whether we like it or not.


When Justin was elected and promised Canadian's an open and transparent government and promised to avoid  potential conflicts of interest, I thought that was great. I actually thought, given the Liberal's sponsorship scandal and other abuses of power, they would life up to those promises.

And what I have seen is just more of the same old and maybe even worse. I don't think politicians realize that what we saw in the US  with Trump is already growing here. Low voter turnout is not do to the voting system, it's more likely do to the disgust with each successive government regardless of the party.


It can't be undone by executive order. Only congress.

Obama criticizes Bush but does the same

"Five years ago, candidate Barack Obama criticized the excesses of the Bush administration’s neo-conservative foreign policy and homeland security agenda."

"As president, however, Mr. Obama has increased the homeland security budget, significantly expanded the use of drones in the war on terror, and remains committed to prosecuting detainees in Guantanamo Bay through the same military commissions established by Bush, despite Mr. Obama’s promise to close the base immediately after assuming office."

Why weren't the caring family members more productive in his mental health care. Hmmm...I think his weapons could of been locked up until his recovery, if he ever was able to achieve recovery. Blame the police for protecting themselves and innocent people.
This family needs to stop blaming and start taking on some of the responsibility for what happened.


But you clearly hate liberals. Do you wear the tee shirt? Sounds like it. Hate is clearly a pseudo-conservative trait. "Hate" is not a value.

This level of deficit spending is grossly irresponsible. The governor shouldn't sign until the Legislature defines a mechanism for paying for their proposed budget.


nope, they were still supporting a democrat.  it seems awfully stupid to allow more than one candidate to run in the primary but you cannot support one that the majority supports.  she may have worked her ass off but her behavior on national tv at the convention was not warranted.  people with any class and integrity do not behave like a jerk.


How is he going to protect himself if someone attacks him?


Interesting point.


Ah, Mr Grootes we live in SA, not Utopia. Nothing is done by the book.
Just imagine (actually, no need to!), with a functioning judiciary, we still find ourselves with a rogue President and a captured state. The worst criminals are our police. Our prosecuting authority is in hibernation, permanently. Let's not forget the political killings. All orchestrated by one man.  I will say this about you - you are an optimist. How you manage to remain so being a journalist,  in THIS country is a miracle to me.
Keep your journalist notebook close. Zuma will steal 'December', and as with everything else, he WILL get away with it!


can't we just move on instead of apologizing forever?


If liberals only knew how much Saudi money is flowing into the US to fund Madrassas that teach the same garbage.


I'm not an expert family law but I think we can agree that courts are terrible, expensive and sad places to sort out family conflict. 50/50 parent legislation would force just that. When parents don't get along kids suffer. Passing a law doesn't work for kids.
As for family violence, the vast majority of "perps" are male. That's a statistical fact borne out by #'s collected by police and hospital professionals.
That's not feminist ideology that's fact.
In a perfect world, I agree that more resources should be allotted to deal with trauma to treat everyone afflicted.


Couldn't agree more.......


First of all, he did not give his company away.  He is still in chargee.  I will keep harping on this as republicans always harped on sweet Hillary.  Welll tables have turned.  Now is the time for everyone who believes in honesty and freedom to demand that the fraud in chief release his tax returns.  Now the Bum is going to make it so he will never have to pay taxes again.  Guess who will be paying instead?


Quite the crowd comes out of the woodwork for any story about Trump...


Kudos to the Preds for the win!
Good riddance to Getzlaf for being a homophobe.


You'll not get any argument from me on who makes the decision Jade.


-One of the lowest corporate tax rates in North America;
-no capital tax;
-Some of the world’s most advantageous investment and R & D incentives;
-A large and growing economic market and a well-regulated financial sector;
-Energy costs are on average 30.6% lower than in G8 countries;
-Access to clean and reliable energy;
-Free and accessible public health system that significantly reduces employers’ contribution to employee benefit plans;

Québec’s three main areas of research are:

• Montréal, the 2nd world capital in terms of density of aerospace jobs
with 1 person out of 96 whose work is related to the sector;
• Sales of $12.1 billion of which 80% come from exports;
• 6th place worldwide after the United States, France, Germany, the UK and Japan;
(yes! more to come)


I don't think anything you say to Roy will sink in. He seems to have been a victim of society his whole life and lives in some sort of impervious bubble. I almost think dumpmaker and Roy are hired shills.


The Mexican drug cartel can get anything they want, anywhere in the world. They could have this guy by the short hairs knowing where his family is and using that to gain leverage. The cartel's are more ruthless than your imagination.


Taiwan has been independent from Mainland China for 75 years.
It is a beacon of democracy in that region.

If they wish to retain their freedom and independence, we should support them by any means possible.
Not to do so would make a mockery of our platitudes about liberty and justice.

Trump is doing the right thing.

We won't say a peep here in Canada.
No leadership and totally enthralled by China's dictators who seem to have little potato head in their back pocket


China created North Korea and supported them ever since. They said they oppose North Korea's nuclear weapon program and yet, did not do anything to stop them. Now, we are trying to stop them; and Xi is calling for restraint? China is playing us!


I doubt "bounce-back season:": the article itself mentions first-season turnarounds haven't happened with Taggart. I am not expecting miracles and a bowl game would be close, considering the gaps in the program and the improvements in PAC rivals.
Fans will have to be patient: we may improve on D (nowhere to go but up) but the offense could be worse because of a lack of tried-and-true WRs and also because opponents know we have no proven second-string QB and hence Justin won't be running much (if he does, he just won't last in the PAC-12; safeties and LBs will decapitate him at some point; he just doesn't have MM's acceleration to get into the smaller DBs hitting zone). That means the zone-read option won't have much mystery and ends or stunting other players can tee off on the RB.
I'm very much looking forward to seeing Taggart's team/scheme, however, especially how he uses Freeman, Nelson, and some of the new speed guys. The key: new guys need to perform; luck to keep injuries down.


Believe it or not, it is critical that the U.S. (an Arctic nation) is investing in the Arctic right now, especially in the area of defense, which is behind the power curve in the north. Do a web search of China in the Arctic. China has no territorial claims yet they think it's just as much theirs to exploit as it is the eight Arctic nations' and even weaseled their way in as an observer nation after "helping" Iceland out with a huge currency swap.  They plan to exploit the northern routes for shipping, the fisheries, and conduct "scientific" research in the Arctic.  More than 50% of U.S. fisheries are in the Arctic!  Search "Russia Military Arctic" to see their activities, especially near the Bering Straits.   Also amusing are the numbers of Icebreakers we have (two) compared to China, which has five and one on the way and Russia, which has over fifty (five nuclear powered) with seven in production.  Incidentally, I am NOT part of the military industry complex or a politician...

BREAKING NEWS!!!   (wow, just wow)
Financial problems cited, the NFL announced today the elimination of one team from the league.

The Green Bay Packers will combine with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to form the Tampacks. Unfortunately, they'll only be good for one period and there's no second string.

Ann,
I posted links to two stories about how the DNA from ancient bodies were linked to the DNA of currently living Alaska Natives. The bones were found on Prince of Wales Island.
Proof that the ancestors of today's 3 SE tribes  were here thousands of years ago, 10,300 years ago.

Chrystia Freeland was an excellent choice for this position.  Not only is she fluent in both Ukrainian and Russian, she can see the issues through both Western as well as Eastern eyes--No wonder Putin is afraid of her!


He will go down as one of the best POTUS. All the chatter about his legacy is just that for sure. His place in history will be preserved in the record books. The facts don't change.


My question is why isn't Canada trying this individual for treason? Under s46 of the Criminal Code, a person commits "high treason" who a) kills, attempts to kill, wounds, imprisons, or restrains the sovereign, b) wages war against Canada or does any act preparatory thereto, or c) assists an enemy at war with Canada or any armed force against whom Canadian forces are engaged in. Instead we're paying him over 10.5 million dollars!  The Canadian courts should allow Tabitha Speer, the widow of Sergeant Christopher Speer. Sgt. Speer to receive this blood money.   Mr. Khadr should be put on trial in Canada for treason.


We could solve the doctor shortage this way too!!


The Corrado? Was the that last time Volkswagen made a good looking car?


Unfortunately, even trusted security guards can turn rogue and be the ones carrying out assassinations. E.g. Indira Gandhi.


Great facts, Ronin006.
Our politicians should have hired companies from Japan.  They know how to do things right and efficiently.  Unfortunately this project was seen by those in the know as a huge financial windfall where many could get to
wet their beaks at public expense.  As we can see, this has resulted in a disaster of a project which will indeed make Honolulu, the laughing stock of the nation.  It stared with the selection of Ansaldo to build the trains
a company which then  had to declare insolvency even before the first train was built and the selection of Dan Grabauskas of the Massachusetts Bay Transport Authority and the "Big Dig" project in Boston which went from
an estimated build cost of 2.8 billion to 14.6 billion and  9 years late by the time it was finally completed.  Interestingly the consortium involved there was Bechtel, Parsons, and Brinkerhoff who also may have had a
hand in our rail project.  What a coincidence.


Tyrant Trump....


Can I, a born and bred Canadian, buy a home in China? NO??! Well I guess free trade with China doesn't make a lot of sense. Put Canada first.


I wish the headline writers would stop brainwashing society.

The headline says: "Ontario women to get free access to abortion pill as of Aug. 10".

Wrong.

The headline should be:

"Taxpayers will pay for women's access to abortion pill as of Aug. 10".


And you people in the news need to stop acting like your above all


Thing is, the evidence is absolutely overwhelming that human activities is (by far) the primary driver of the current changes. In fact, all the other things that historically has caused warming periods are going in the opposite direction (including solar activity). Without human activity, we would be in a cooling period !


O'Reilly's whole routine is about free speech.


Those are George Soros protesters .........paid otherwise they would not be there.  I bet they don't even know what they are protesting.


It's currently a gravel parking lot. Take it easy Francis.


Boo


So, what is important to Conservatives just happen to be illegal...check.


If we keep killing Muslims we can expect Canadians at home and abroad to be killed. Our troops should be brought home. They are engaged in hopeless and immoral fighting. They and their families deserve to live in peace, or, if necessary, defend Canada, not attack other countries.


I do not live in the region anymore but I've seen Cantius packed on a Wednesday night, and of traddie and tradd-ish groups the Canons Regular are the last ones I'd call "schismatic".  They offer the Mass in both forms and the parishoners are happy about it.  The anger and nuttery (e.g. neomonarchism) and pride (in the negative sense) I've detected in former-SSPX congregations isn't in evidence there.

To remind you who they are: This is the congregation whose youth group and chaperones put together an Ordinary Form Mass in a hotel bar a couple of years ago for buses full of students stranded in a blizzard.  Not the action of far right loons, nor schismatic wingnuts.

Have you actually went to Mass or events there or is this just prejudices speaking?


Should, should, should.


Greg Robertson is concerned about the “extraordinarily derogative” comments the pastor has made.      Mr. Robertson goes on to say that Franklin Graham's "values are not in line with Vancouver’s".

It's not the mayor's job to obstruct freedom of speech and enforce his own agenda of telling Canadians what our values are.  Mr. Graham is not against Muslims....his comments are against radical islam - and with good reason.  He also stands for the traditional definition of family instead of the rapidly changing definition of family.....there is nothing wrong  with Mr. Graham publicly stating this.

Vancouver mayor Gregor Robertson has the lowest approval rating among 10 Canadian mayors, according to results released by national pollster Mainstreet Research.   Robertson has stepped out of bounds on this event......expect to see his approval rating fall again.


That's actually not accurate. While most, but not all paid staff are men, many of the leaders are women. Go look at their website.


The Greens were between a rock and a hard place.  Back the BC Liberals which would make making it to four years easier, but guarantee a massive backlash and wipeout of the party next election or back the NDP which has a shaky command and hope they can get PR passed.  If PR fails it will hurt them next time since if the NDP does a good job, people will vote for the real deal thus the NDP will get all the credit not the Greens and if they do a bad job, people will blame them for enabling it so they really need PR to pass if they want to improve next time around.


Chris, I disagree; this will change nothing. The Catholic clergy are already roughly 50% homosexual, and the proportion is probably increasing. Just as 98% of Catholic couples use contraceptives despite the unambiguous ban of Humanae Vitae, so to this ambiguous repetition of a former ambiguous statement will change nothing in the practice of accepting gays into the priesthood.

But of course you are right, if gays were actually banned, our seminaries would be very much "emptier" than they are now.


At least Lenny Bruce is not afraid.


Best comment award goes to you!


Sounds like a threat.   Certainly it's character assassination.   This is what progressives do when their views are challenged.


SB 21 and those stupid oil and gas tax credits were a disaster for Alaska.  Since the dividends were cut in half by Governor Walker and last years legislature, I think those O&G tax credits should be cut in half.


My own impression of John Horgan's promises is that he is behaving in an irresponsible and reckless manner.  The BC Prosperity Fund is real.  It is like a savings account.  The BC NDP are making all kinds of big spending promises in this campaign because Mulcair failed to win in the federal election in 2015 with a financially conservative platform.  The federal NDP promised to keep the budget balanced and they ended up in third place.  So in the BC election this year Horgan is going for broke with a lot of big spending promises, and he is also promising to empty out the BC Prosperity Fund.  If the Prosperity Fund is fake, how can Horgan spend the money in it?

There are massive real estate bubbles in Vancouver and Toronto.  Greece still hasn't defaulted on their bonds and left the Euro yet.  China has a massive real estate bubble.  There is the possibility of protectionism.  This is not a good time to empty out the savings account.  This is a time to set money aside for a rainy day.


So ALL of those companies went broke?

Really? Do you have a source for that, or is that another lie that you made up?


The bits ruled the world by the barrel of a gun for centuries. The wealth of Britain is based on colonial enslavement. As the brief hayday of the west draws to a close things will change


Loos like we need to build a wall too .


Interestingly, CB banned anonymous commenting for the first few years. The comments did not seem restrained, although they tended to be dominated by the same people, I certainly agree that we wish to keep this a civil forum for diverse views. And I respect your position.


It's impossible to say how consequential an election will be before the fact. We can only judge consequences after there have actually been some. One would think an historian would know that.


"I have yet to meet such a person."

Well, I call bovine excrement on that one!


Great review. Hollywood just keeps digging to new depths. Zero percent on Rotten Tomatoes so far.


What's "partly true" ?

I didn't mention  Mitterand's relationship with Bosquet, which is even worse than his pathetic exculpation of Vichy.


That royalty argument is one we might expect from their lobby… that since eventually new oil will come online, from which we receive a royalty…we should be happy with that and just keep quiet about the rest.
However that reasoning ignores the very real circumstance, that AK is BOTH the resource owner, AND the taxing authority. So we forego one side (taxes), in lieu of the royalty gain on the other (which we would receive in any event).
In fact, as the taxing authority, if we’re paying out MORE than we’re taking in (which we are now, by design), then aren’t we effectively surrendering part of the royalty as well?


If he was 15, then maybe he was a "youthful offender" and the records were sealed - until he left the State of Washington where such determinations may not apply across state lines? I have seen that before. So sexual molestation of a minor is probably one of the most heinous crimes that could have been exposed. But while not a Christian in my adult life, I do follow the norms of my childhood and have a hard time with the harsh judgement stated in this column. Where does compassion and forgiveness play into our polarized society?


Amazing how many ADN haters read it and comment on it.  What happened to all those who swore never to read or acknowledge the existence of that liberal rag, ADN?  Isn't spouting their vitriolic nonsense to their friends and fellow fascists enough?  Of course not.  ADN is one of the few journalism outfits which allows open comments from anyone as a public service.  The Il Duce Trumpists should thank ADN for the opportunity to spread their propaganda far and wide.


They need to use side-zip boots, since without them those things are a pain to take off and put on without a lot of effort.


I am nor talking of repealing the 14th amendment, I am talking of changing how it is interpreted  by the courts. Originally the 14th amendment was to confer citizenship on freed slaves and not for anchor babies.


"Voting with their wallets".   It will not just be Canadian based utilities voting this way.  Everything all our governments do that makes it more difficult for businesses or professionals in Canada basically tells them they are fools if they do not also vote with their wallets.  They may or may not still live here, but their money and the opportunities it can create will have moved on.  The politically progressives may insult this fact, but money has no loyalty.


and how many of those priests are not the least bit involved in parochial work?


With a 200K mortgage? No big deal. With a 950K mortgage? LOL


It's extremely nervy of Dems to even fantasize about influencing the Catholic Church. I hope the murky political
scene is not too difficult for you.


I agree marijuana tends to rob people of their life blood,  makes them lethargic which puts people out of work, and dependant on welfare. I agree we need to inspirepeople to work. Not get them addicted to welfare.


Mel you are a hoot. And I echo the comment above that suggests that the reality of today's progressive movement has become so extreme it is indeed very difficult to distinguish it from parody and satire.


Two years in , it seems the promises and platitudes made by the Liberals were just fairy tales, as they have actually no intention of keeping most of them.


A Hanomansing and Swain pairing sharing the National would be perfect.
Gender and ethnic balance.  Interviewing and investigating skills.

Mesley grates and ingratiates..  Everyone else is third-rate at best.


Interesting that the usual rejectionists haven't shown up to contest the Pentagon.


I begged for money in person. He said, "we'll do something about that." I mentioned both Senior bennies as well as the PFD.


You're wrong on all counts.


With the ability to make that stretch you should either be a 1st baseman or a stand in for Gumby.  Not sure how you drew that conclusion, but you certainly proved my point through your post.


Hopefully the Police will be on the lookout for any NEW Food Carts or trailers??????


I don't really know what the stats are on sexual assault. You should consider following questions with a question mark.

What H.P. Flashman seemed to say was that Perry's coal advocacy itself was absurd, independent of its ability (or inability) to deter crime. That's what I took issue with.

If lighting does deter crime, then it would make sense for a country to produce that energy in the cheapest way possible for them. Mali, for example, does not have nuclear energy. Should we let them eat cake, then?

I'm curious: When Obama thought that Austrians spoke "Austrian", did that render him unfit for his position?


If you are lucky enough to live in the Grey-Bruce county areas, you can buy heritage grain, real sourdough bread, baked in a wood oven from AsterLane breads.
Visit Collingwood farmers market on Saturdays, but be early because they often sell out well before the market ends.

shlitz, speak for yourself, i cannot stand all our senators, we need an overhaul...............


The Dems controlled everything for 2 years.  They could have done anything they wanted.  Many items were left off the table.  Why is the question.


BTW the motion is approved by all parties except the pro Muslim Liberal party.
Hindu, Budish, Jews, Christians should all remember this in 2019. Otherwise, you will become second class citizens under this government.


If they join "mainstream Canada", dear chief will eventually lose his pay and has to work for it.

What a horrible thing you wish on those chiefs!


The ministerial benches behind him were empty (his colleagues must have had better things to do)
If Zuma had been on the agenda would they also not have been there? Seems MP's are trying on purpose to show no support for Rambo?


Nepotism at its finest.
Thank goodness our dear leader doesn't behave like that...


Cleaning up the donation process is difficult as politicians depend on the generosity of friends (and a few strangers) for their election financing. I like what some posters have suggested: going back to the taxpayer funded $2.00 (?) per vote to fund political parties and do away with the more lavish dinners or meet and greet influence peddling.


Wow, 36% approval. That's only a few points higher than Republican's approval of getting Ebola.


So how much are you paying for produce these days, buddy?  Want to talk "little or nothing to offer"?!


This allows individuals to buy policies similar to what employees of the largest companies have. Companies like Amazon or Facebook.  They have one plan that covers employees in multiple states. The state commissioners complaining is disingenuous at best. Nationwide policies have existed forever, only the fortunate few have had access. Hate Trump or Obama but this is a large step forward in bringing competition and ultimately prices down. If they can cover pre-existing conditions as these large company plans generally do, this will benefit most non-partisan citizens.


So. What are men doing for their fellow men?

Oh. Right. Whining about feminism on comment boards. Very proactive.


You are right they did not and would not.

Hence the payment of 10 million dollars.


By doing what?  Justice by fiat?  Do without the constitution?


Cat should have been indoors, IMO, but that doesn't excuse Verylow's actions and his pathetic excuses..


You may not be aware of this, but after the coal miners in West Virginia were defeated by the US Army, they never recovered all of their arms or ammunition.  I have relatives who still have those very weapons, hanging on the walls as a reminder.

Their day-to-day weapons will not be given up just because the wimps pass a law, either.

There are more people who believe that government is to be feared than pandered to on this issue.

I don't think 330 million privately-owned weapons will be taken away from all of their owners.

And many of those type of people actually live  in the outlying areas of the Willamette Valley, as well.


Any Indians work in private industry? Seems like they are all at the trough and not contributing.


Glenn I agree with you here


How can an "Alaskan" support Hillary? What does that say about yourself?


Whinge, verb, British informal, “An act of complaining persistently and peevishly”.

I am not sure the pot should be calling the kettle black.

To restate his objection, marriage arises from the Natural Law, was considered in Roman law the foundation of the family and thus the foundation of the nation, and is also reflected in the same way in the Judeo-Christian religion.

The Supreme Court has fashioned something out of the gossamer of the “penumbra” and called it “marriage”.

Whatever it is, it is not the thing which arose from the Natural Law.


Nominate Bu Laʻia


Ty!  I will definitely have a look.


Of course those wouldn't be the same dish - but if both of those dishes were called "beef and potatoes" on different menus I would say something like "the beef and potatoes at this restaurant is an interesting and different style from what I have encountered elsewhere" rather than "I haven't encountered beef and potatoes at any other restaurant."  Surely you can see the difference between those two sentences?


There had better be at least one SLAYER shirt in there. Will watch doc. for close examination.


What a shame! Even on youtube?


you got me confused with someone else...
I rarely post a reply, and I've been 'here'  and only here for many many years no issues.
I took umbrage with some mis-speaks about putting UN identified refugees into the same concept as asylum seekers and immigrants.
And Alexandra took personal offense. Anyone engaged in refugee resettlement constantly encounters those term confusions and work to sort them out. The term USCCB uses for their office is Migration and Refugee  ... to make the distinction clear.
So, I raised the question of should the posts be viewed for a high level of accurate information by those whose lives are depending on accurate information... asylum seekers, refugees. I then saw the repeat link, hmm why?

The direction these comments have taken isn't one I pay attention to. My remark to you and Alexandra was pure sarcasm as I frankly, don't pay much attention to who posts unless it suggests a clue to understanding the post content.

Sorry to have disturbed your peace.


that depends- you have a cure for stupidity?


if you can build a condo building for 1.3% more than it cost last year you should open a construction company, you'll be very busy


I'm all for diversification of revenue streams, but not at the expense of changing the Permanent Fund account.  The Body has no restraint in its spending habits, no matter which party is in control.  Changing the PFD and handing the Body the keys to the account is a terrible idea.  The stage is set; the brainwashing is complete.  Too bad.


You have a point in that some feminists have muddied the waters and totally confused a lot of men with their emphasis on women's sexual "empowerment", supposedly limitless sexual voracity, "slut shaming", etc.

Many men have interpreted that as meaning women are, just like them, always ready and willing to have sex with anyone available, or would be if not repressed by society, and so are ready to interpret a woman's refusal as either old-fashioned coyness or evidence of "repression", which could be overcome with a little forceful "persuasion". "Try it, you'll like it!" "You know you WANT it!"

The alternative would be to accept that the woman just does not find them attractive...and their ego can't handle that.


get ready.....here come the Trump claims regarding Ms Clinton being "too weak, too frail" to be President.  I can only say I'd rather have a President with a few physical health problems (Ms Clinton) than a president with, IMO,  serious mental health problems (Mr Trump).


"NE had the lowest church affiliation, and that is a harbinger for the nation."

In one way, many bishops wish it were a "harbinger, " as it were  -- that the CC in NE could be replicated, duplicated elsewhere -- especially that Southern NE (i.e., RI, CT, and MASS.) could be "reproduced" in other regions of the country, especially in the Northwest, US (and even in parts of the South). The CC in southern New England has one of the most sophisticated and successful educational networks of primary and secondary schools,  Catholic colleges and universities in the country, educating well over 100,000 students -- in an geographical area only a third the size of Oregon. The CC in NE is also the largest faith community in the region. Compare that data with the CC in Oregon, with its single Catholic university (the University of Portland), and one begins to understand why Oregon and Wash. CC bishops would welcome a duplication of southern NE (especially its educational network) in their states.

Hi, Mr.Rosenberg,
I invest only in the big canadian banks,
but your opinion is right on target.
Since the banks finance a lot of commodity business this
will be welcome for future dividends.
Thank You.


I started The Polar Sea last night. I'm hooked - what a fascinating adventure! Thanks, again.


There you go "thinking" again.  You always say stupid things when you think.


A biological control for purple loosestrife worked in our area of Eastern Ontario.


So, in 2009 when your sales went down by 2/3's, what did you do?  If you follow the Finance Department view of running a small business, you should have taken all the money from the company instead of having "passive" investments.  Therefore, with no cash in your company and sales down by 2/3's, you should either have gone bankrupt or had to recapitalize your company.  Since your company is apparently still in business, you would have needed a capital infusion - either from a bank (unlikely if you had no cash in the company and sales down by 2/3's) or from your personal wealth, which would have been taxed when you took it out.

What did you do with your "company" that had zero passive investments at the end of 2008?


You obviously haven't spent any time as a musher, a musher's handler, or in a sled dog environment based upon your comments.  Dog teams are often treated better than many children I see daily, so you really should do more up close and personal research.  The sled dogs are exempted to 20 minutes for a really good reason - feeding time, snack time, play time, and hooking up to the sled / loading in the dog box time.  During all of those events, the dogs are super happy and they bark - they don't have cell phones, so they can't text the dog on the other side of the lot to say that it's time to eat / snack / play / run - they have to BARK!  The 20 minutes gives the musher the time they need to do these events.  Yes, .01% are bad mushers - but the amount of bad human parents is much higher, so give these hard working mushers a break from your angry and incorrect, broad based accusations and assumptions.


"paperwork"?  why not call it what it is - BUREAUCRATIC INEPTITUDE!  everyone knows governmental workers have no incling of what the personal character trait descriptive words moral and/or ethical mean - let alone apply!  they have no shame - when they collect their paychecks!  they just laugh all the way to the bank!

SELLING CIVIC STADIUM WAS ALL ABOUT SAVING CIVIC STADIUM! ECA SHOULD REBUILD CIVIC STADIUM!
The primary reason ECA was given the stadium was to restore the stadium!
But, instead, ECA totally abandoned the stadium! ECA left Civic Stadium and the grounds totally unsecured and wide open! All the tunnel doors were wide open 24/7! Prior to and up to the fire, ECA ignored emails sent to them about the daytime and overnight characters and usage of the parking lot as a jamboree of travelers, transients, bicycles, some homeless and an array of others! The parking lot was a circus day and night!
ECA had caused the opportunity for the the stadium to burn by not securing the stadium in any way!
ECA received 3 million from insurance from the stadium loss. ECA should use that money and the current donations to rebuild the stadium.
