What do they make now? It may still go up close to 31 percent because it is starting at a lower rate.


About 29 years ago Bloomers Nursery posted jobs at the Oregon employment office. the special program through the state of Oregon sent 2 applicants to apply. Both were illegal aliens with forged documents California laughed at and deported while our state said: close enough. Here in Oregon our government helps illegal aliens attain jobs.


Ironically, Heritage crafted the Affordable Care Act.  But then Obama plagiarized it.

Literally, Heritage was FOR it before they were AGAINST it.


Don't look now buttercup but the traditional Republicant Party has been highjacked by the ultra wrong-wing of the so-called teA Partiers.  tRump's fraud elect win will shimmy away just like a viewing of a colorful display of fireworks.  Shimmy, shimmy into the darkness.  Poof.


bavius, the OP said "Impeachment closer than ever", he/she did not call for impeachment at this time. You seem to recognize this in the first sentence of your latest post.  However the rest of your response is typically excessive, and shows a lack of understanding of how the impeachment process works, and how martial law could be declared in the US. It is far from a slam dunk process by the President as you seem to wish it was. In my initial response I suggested you take the time to inform yourself, obviously that suggestion fell on deaf ears. Remember, ignorance is curable, but you have to want to be cured.


It's a turned upside down world.  Women used to love being shown extra attention . It was considered by them to be flattering and they liked being told how well they looked and smelled .  Now if you do it you can be sued . What's next---opening a door for a woman will be considered a sexual invitation and grounds for a lawsuit  ?


The 1932 San Cipriano hurricane did $3.6 Billion (2016 US $) in damage to Puerto Rico,  at that time a US territory.  FDR created the Puerto Rico Reconstruction Administration in 1935.  Funding ran out for it in 1955.   300 people were killed in Puerto Rico.  3000 in Florida by the same hurricane.  I couldn't find the damage estimate for Florida.

The uninsured cost of this multiple fire  event will be at least as much as the insured loss.  Insurance policies seldom pay replacement cost,  or even 90% of real cost.  So sad for all those with the loss of loved ones,  the loss of heritage and personal history,  the loss of wildlife and flora,  all the things that insurance does not cover.  Even peace of mind,  lost innocence.  How do you measure those impacts?


Seems like CNN blew this story out of proportion........


I believe we will all come to appreciate that trade. The guy seems to be a head case locker room destroyer to me.


Glenn, I think the US Navy and the Coast Guard can work it into the schedules.  The fish, birds,  sea mammals and other critters know what to do.


Got off too easy! Shame on the justice system! Life no parole!


The people voted, politicians need to get out of the way. Follow the will and vote of the people. People will be employed and a product that will generate taxes will help the economy.


Remember that not all slaves were black e.g.Jews in camps and in Egypt,and not all slave owners were white e.g. Arab slave traders.
All were treated appallingly and I would never mock their experiences.
You should really protest not against Bankorp bailout but against Barclays (The slave traders of repute barring none )Bank.
Let's not forget the human trafficking by ISIS since women have been traded as property for the sex trade.


Judith Curry, Richard Lindzen, Freeman Dyson, Bob Carter, and John Christy.  I particularly like the idea of a science which entails the presentation of data including the method of collection and allowing open criticism  and open debate.  I am repulsed by "the science is settled folks".


I hear Lithuania is lovely this time of year.


TV is buying a product. The weight of that purchase of course is influential. But it doesn't mean CBS and Fox "own" the NFL, any more than people who collectively buy Fords or iPhones then "own" Ford or Apple.


Hurricane Exxon-Mobil looks to be vicious. Stay safe, everybody.


Have to agree with you but the effort to police the PFD system is directly related to how much the politicians do not want the PFD police to really do their job.  I also think that the necessary changes needed in PFD system to keep outside people from ripping off the system has been held up by the politicians.


The bottom line of Trumps speech is an indictment against the party of progressive democrat’s and their elitist entitlement leaders. Of course the progressive left is upset with Trump. But even with all that Trumps speech points out as an indictment he didn’t do near the damage Wikileaks did in releasing emails from top DNC officials that show the inner workings of the Democratic Party aiding the Hillary Clinton campaign to defeat Sanders during the primaries. Secondly the now unquestionable evidence by the FBI director that Hillary Clinton is indeed a sociopathic liar. The Progressive Democrat party is dead they just aren’t intelligent enough to realize it as yet.


So if a government funded, administered and managed health care service which is  all encompassing and 'right' for all citizens why is there a thriving market for supplemental insurance plans in both the UK and Canada, two countries often touted as being the best solutions for the US to follow?

Additionally to compare public roads with the complexities of healthcare is not an argument that holds much validity. But if we examine the public road argument you would see that very few if any roads that were actually built by government entities. Often those jobs are put out to bid to private companies, thus lowering the costs for tax payers.

Most members in the GOP have not embraced a fully free market however. In fact many still hold in high regard Medicare and Medicaid. Both programs which are beset with issues and problems too numerous to document here. Of course one of the largest proponents of Medicare and ACA , AARP love the programs, why? They make huge money filling in the holes.


"Oh, and P.S., canceled my subscription to The Denver Post a LOOOOONG time ago."  LOL But, you still read the DP on line or you wouldn't be here.


Thank you for standing up.


But nobody has tried to erase the names.   To wit:  York University, Royal York Hotel, Royal York subway etc.   There are so many references to the old name in Ottawa that it's hard to list them all, but the Byward Market and many references to Bytown are a start.   There's a Colonel By high school and so on.


History will be the judge.  And Ortiz will be remembered as the worthy one -- worthier than 45* could even dream in his wildest covfefe hallucinations.

Just say climate change and you will have taxpayer and borrowed money to burn.


I was intentionally cherry picking. Replace him with some other example.

The point is that no political or religious ideology is to blame for this, or any other random act of violence. To sit here and think "No wonder this person did this. They are a [insert label here]" is participating in a bigoted narrow view of the world. Comments like that aim to demonize and dehumanize those that are different than us. We do this and forget that someone can turn the same blind eye and assume the same about us. That kind of thinking and talking only aims to increase the kind of absolutist extremism these sick murderers thrive on.

The world contains duplicity. The most important thing we've forgotten is that being good citizens means supporting each other despite our differences. Don't assume that because someone is pro or anti something that it's because they're a bad person. People almost always have beliefs with good intentions. We get into trouble when we believe each other to be malicious.


An empty gesture at best.   At worst, demonstrative of cynical self-admiration.


Air Force One is a military plane - can refuel in mid-air, so can stay up indefinitely, has all the communications equipment to keep the President functioning while in the air, all the protection, anti-missile systems, electronic countermeasures, shielded wiring, etc, etc.      The current planes are getting old and will need to be replaced.

Trump thinks the plane is a luxury, when in fact it's a necessity.     As much as I dislike Trump - as President, he shouldn't be flying in a regular plane - it's too risky.       He'll just have to live without the gold fixtures and red velvet and crystal.    He can still be a member of the mile high club in Air Force One - that's probably all he really cares about.


Will they settle or go to trial?

Don't get me started on teachers. I was 30 before I had enough training to even practice. Never work (No weekends, nights or,
holidays),lucky to work 6 months a year, retire early on the goverment dime and have screwed up the education of our children (most important).
The government should be taxing the contribution made to their pension in the year it is made, not as income when it is taken out 32 years later.

Bombardier makes us look like bad managers but first class aerospace engineers.


The Chamber of Commerce is about maximizing profits for its members. They actively promote ways to reduce your labor costs by hiring foreigners, outsourcing, avoiding taxes, etc. The fastest way to destroy a small business is to make sure those on the lower side of the economic ladder have no money. They tend to spend everything they earn, while the wealthy save it. The true job creators are the people who spend their money.

So "when homosexual activity is consequently condoned, or when civil legislation is introduced to protect behavior to which no one has any conceivable right, neither the Church nor society at large should be surprised when ... violent reactions increase."

I.e. you agree with Rat zinger that homosexual relationships should be prohibited in civil law, and criminalized, and that if they aren't then violent reaction is unsurprising ("unsurprising" being an euphemism for "permissible" or "a sine-qua-non"?).


Thanks for the answers. Where are the questions?


Life, no parole.


First of all kudos to all them that served and are serving. With the highest respect for all. However when is someone going to tell the truth. Granted there was a draft in that war, but the newer ones relied on a feeling. Its called patriotism. This word, or feeling is a money maker for the real people in control.   If you cant control your feelings you may get in trouble. What is really going on? The Bushes and others sold a line of crap, men died and were maimed. For What!  A feeling!! We only think we are free. Those in controll laugh at chest thumping studs. The real money people dont let their kids join. How many deferments did they get from nam, then they are suppose to lead us! How stupid! Then you have a terrorist like Obama, who in there right mind would give a plane load of cash to Iran. A fellow terrorist would. That money is now working against the patriots Im talking about. Again kudos to the brave men & woman of our country.


Since she IS an intelligent woman, willing to share her expertise and wisdom, is it not your obligation to engage in ways some mutual learning can occur?  Again, pray with me: "Lord, make us mindful of the needs of others. Lord, make us needful of the minds of others."

As the great basketball coach John Wooden told us: "Learning is what happens after we know it all."


Liberty that apparently the thugs want to take away. My uncle died fighting and my father spent 5 years fighting for those liberties - I'm not good with anyone taking any of them away.


Fortunately the Donald hasn't been very successful in getting his program through.  Lets see, Obama care was to be replaced by the best system possible, but the Donald failed miserably.  How is that wall coming?  Sad to see that he decided on continuing Obama's war policy.  Just means more of a mess.

Yes the stock market is at a high but the big question is will it last, especially if a real crisis hits.  The Donald could be 666.

It's times like this, that I thank my Father for insisting I study automation.......30-years ago!


Other than the fact that everyone else owns one I've never seen the appeal of SUV's over wagons. I'm on my second AWD wagon (A6, 328d) and for commuting, ski trips, and camping it's great. Always wished we would get more models in North America.


Obama knew Harper was the office boy from Imperial Oil--as did everyone else.


Actually Mr Heisbourg, it has to do with the fact that UNESCO was and is being abused by its Muslim member states and their supporters in order to promote an anti-Semitic agenda, and that's simply unacceptable to the US Presidency (whoever the incumbent) and to all decent people. In this case, its simpler just to read the lines, rather than between them.  Pity though that UNESCO has to suffer for the outrages of certain members.


There is something wrong with the narrative on this. If it is truly as barbaric and causes unremitting lifelong pain, why would veterinarians do it? The position of the AVMA is educate patients and push alternatives, but not "don't do it". Why would there be so many cats who, having undergone the procedure, live 10-15 years as happy and affectionate pets? Yeah, I get that cats can hide pain. But not long term. I've had them all my life until a month ago.

If it were as terrible as some opponents say, it seems that euthanasia would be recommended if the only way to keep the cat is declawing. But it is considered to be preferable to euthanising a problem cat who won't stop scratching inappropriately.

I have to wonder if there are some vets that do it better than others? Studies apparently do not support a connection between declawing and bad behavior. I think there is a lot of misinformation in the arguments.


Dang! guess we have to wait till he's published to find out what he's observed.

I've heard of people asking, "Why don't they wash off the Mendenhall Glacier?"
We do! We heard it into Mendenhall Lake for a bath...


maybe announcing it could have been bypassed. was it announced before or after the 2 pharmacy heists?


That's incorrect. Democrats are pro-Democratic. Republicans are anti-Democratic. TABOR does not call for a vote on this issue. Republicans have the dishonest names, since a true representative Republic would not have a TABOR provision; the people's representatives would decide on tax policy and rates. Your argument is exactly backward.


How many immigrants sleeping under yours?


How is he the answer to a divided nation when he has gone, and continues to go, out of his way to cement those divisions? - YOUR OPINION

No, he's only alienated himself from part of the establishment. He has brought a different part of the establishment even more power than before. He also, not insignificantly, has alienated himself from most citizens. - YOUR OPINION

You can make all these judgments based in two weeks in office ?  It's the economy stupid. If he can bring some level of prosperity back to the rust belt and inner cities, get home ownership back up, and keep unemployment low it won't matter what else he does, and all you naysayers trying to sound smart on the RG website will still be spouting your nonsense.

Low energy prices, low interest rates, stocks and housing on the rise, the stars are aligned and you better get used to it, he is going to succeed, maybe even in spite of himself - but who cares?

It's unfortunate that our team had to play under this condition set forth by the NCAA.  Coach Ganot should be praised for keeping his team focused on the task at hand and at the moment, having a team that was picked to finished 8th or so, sitting in a tie for 3rd with 2 games remaining.  Thank you to the UH Men's Basketball Program for delivering a great season thus far!  So many of the Faithful expected so much worse with all them departures that took place!  Would UH ever consider taking the helm but suing the NCAA?  I'm sure we'd have the backing of so many other high profile Universities but again, our ability to poorly manage funds will answer that rather quickly.  Win the whole ****Ing thing!  Go Warriors!


As   always,   corruptions  starts   from    the    top,   slime   drips   down   to   the   sheeps.  Sorry  to   say,   we   r    all   F-  up.   Simply................  Power   play!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


8th headline, no story!


In June 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the Second Amendment, arguing that there was an individual right to bear arms rather than one connected to being in the militia.

Note that it was a 5-4 decision, so far from unanimous and probably politically motivated.

Time for an amendment to the Second Amendment.


Waking up is non-partisan. If you claim to be awake but still hold partisan views you are fooling yourself - they have you right where they want you!


Better yet, no pipeline, no equalization payments !!!


"and our ethical and emotional need to believe women"

Enlighten me.  Why is there an ethical need to believe women? - the implication being that somehow it is greater than the ethical need to believe men.  Emotional I understand.  But ethical?  Surely the Ghomeshi trial showed us, if nothing else, that our ethical responsibility is to seek the truth.  Listen to the witnesses.  Decide what is credible and what is not.  And reach the appropriate conclusion.  There is nothing ethical about deciding, in advance, that what a woman says is more likely to be true than what a man says.


His base is comprised of white supremacists, racists, ooga booga tribalists, and other extremists who use rhetoric to incite violence. The Republican party's modus operandi has been and remains the use of extremist rhetoric to inspire acts of violence against designated groups--women seeking reproductive medical care, Americans who are Muslim, poor people, African-Americans, Mexican-Americans, etc. This type of activity has a long history in the Republican party.


Not much anymore. The back-to-basics people don't really want to educate people toward citizenship and the rest don't want to pay for it, I guess. We have just elected a new president who couldn't pass an American government or political science 101 course. We do have a long history of rewarding those who aren't "eggheads" and who make fun of anyone 'too educated'; apparently because we don't like people who are better than we are in any way.


"These wayward theories have a tendency to allege that the Hawaiian Islands are under a belligerent U.S. occupation and that a simple trip to some international forum, be it the International Court of Justice, Permanent Court of Arbitration, or International Criminal Court, will result in a forceful withdrawal of U.S. interests. Yeah, that’s not how it works."

Well said. So sad to see our people pinning their hopes on something that will never, ever happen.


LOL.


"But it is disengenuos to abhor other nations and their leaders for what we do and have done."

Of course we can abhor them.  And our own leaders that conduct actions.  It's a slippery slope when we start shrugging it off.  Authoritarian dictatorships are also the "way of the world", so should we just accept that for America?  If Trump announced in a few years that he's declaring a 'state of emergency' and will be postponing elections, should we just roll over for that?


the only reason why the modern "conservative" republican will not be booted back to wandering in the wilderness for another 40 year stint, is because political correctness is a greater cancer. it's scary, and on oh so many levels, but the modern GOP is the lessor of 2 evils. but that's like saying I'd rather be beaten and raped than murdered.


wow another left winger of stupid, no he is not going to dismatle free health care since there is NO free health care, ,, you think losers like bernardo dont deseerve the death penalty, not that it will ever come back, ,, put your stupidity up your butt since thats where it belongs, olearly is about fixing the mess the left continues to do to canada economically,,

Hmmm...so leftist sympathisers are more mysogynistic than conservative sympathisers...or, politicians who use identity politics to try and get voters to vote for them, are less likely to get elected than those who don't...

Are the wardens of good taste & righteous thought asleep at the switch(es)?  Maybe.  My take: nobody much cares, because it is obvious that the piece that inspired a lot of the drivel here on the page this morning is a self-serving promotional piece for a consultation service.

You're welcome.


Tending to his sheep.


Give hin a chance and some space. Its up to him, ket it play out!


There is always a "Mr. Grumpy" in every crowd! So you do not think the coaching staff and players, aside from the fact it is the FIRST DAY of fall training camp, are aware it ultimately comes to results? I think Taggart has been VERY CLEAR on what needs to change from last season in order to change the results. I do not see the slightest indication of over-confidence from either the players or coaching staff. In fact, Taggart's signature line when someone has told him, "You have a lot of returning talent" has been, "We were 4-8 last season." Otherwise, my suggestion to you, because there is going to be "talk"(talk itself is not bad, but rather the content is what is the key) is do not read any articles on Oregon football until the results start to happen. Then you will not have to worry about "the talk." GO DUCKS!!


My folks did much the same in the late 1940's, again a Willys Jeep.  Tanacross north of Tok was the first job for my dad and later on to Anchorage.  Eventually he got on with the CAA (forerunner of the FAA) and we bounced around Alaska from Annette Island to Northway to Biorka Is off of Sitka and finally Gustavus.  Built character.


Yup. I was surprised at that too. While a sad time for Canada, slavery wasn't as prominent here in Canada as it was elsewhere. Canada had around 4,200 slaves during that period mostly purchase from the native nations themselves. 85% of slaves were used in Quebec. France had around 250,000 during that period.

G&M also wrote an article about it back in Feb 2014, "200 years a slave: the dark history of captivity in Canada". It was based on Quebec historian Marcel Trudel's findings.

Some additional context, PBS.org  wrote an article based on the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database, edited by professors David Eltis and David Richardson. Apparently, 10.7 million Africans were shipped to the new world, but only 388,000 were shipped directly to North America (ie U.S.).

This is just more of Dumb Dumb Donald's fighting for the little guy, by enriching the billionaires and millionaires.


Rubbish.  Tort "reform" has already occurred to no good end.  I firmly believe everyone is responsible for their actions, and that is especially important for many of today's medical providers, who use PAs to a ridiculous extent and provide assembly line care.  A medical mistake can cost lives.


J Hamstra,
 You basically parroted the approach of the article. I posted the partial validity of it. Are you acquainted with the Kohlberg model? You post about "rare occasions". In life  and at church it is less rare. At a place of work the motivations are pay and being fired. SDA are worldly, insubordinate rebels. Why do you think preachers keep presenting sermons urging bible study and proper Sabbath observance..etc. Sermons are basically chew out sessions and inept shallow religious therapy sessions..
Also think of where Jesus said to the disciples, I no longer call you servants but friends. He is alluding to internal motivation.
The SDA denomination needs a wake up call & reality check. Members will continue to be Laodicean lukewarm losers as long as pastors & leaders are satisfied with "playing church."


This is quite the saga.   I have known people who are supposedly in constant pain;  one a father who actually broke his back moving a piece of furniture 25 or 30 years ago.  He now resorts to marijuana to kill the pain.    It so happens that his daughter is also a chronic sufferer.  She is massively overweight, never walks (due to her pain) and leads a very stationary existence.
    Neither of them wants to even entertain the idea of yoga or walking or alternative, non-therapeutic drugs.   It's sad really.     Wish they, and other chronic sufferers, could read your story.


Jim678, plenty of people care.  Plenty.


Ironically, those most influenced and who bought into the propaganda of "needing workers/immigrants/TFW" nonsense are also those most adversely effected by these failed Canadian policies.   Too bad the majority didn't have the wherewithal to rebuke the nonsense their social engineer teachers and professors fed them on their journey to precariously employed second world workers.


We need you Canada, now ... very very badly.

(never mind that we strung you high and dry on the Keystone thingy so Obama can look "green")


He already "bit the dust" four years ago for this. They slapped a half-mil bond on him back then for a simple bathroom brawl that would otherwise carry just a $5,000 bail. Now he's being harassed again....this time, with NO bond. They took him away from a handicapped wife of over 20 years that has no one else to turn to. And you're okay with all this?


US intelligence DOES NOT agree that the reports are salacious slander. They simply stated that they are currently unsubstantiated and that they were not leaked by the security services.


Cheap labour or, if you go back 150 years, slave labour based societies don't do well in the long run.   Consumer societies in the Walmart-nation mold are based on debt and extreme income stratification.

A broad based economy whose emphasis is on production not consumption can offer all of its citizens living wage jobs.  The "very narrow interests" are the elites who benefit from cheap labour and asset inflation.  The consumers you say are benefiting from cheap labour really aren't because their wages are low and they are going into debt.

High wage countries can have elevated social safety nets and fiscal balance but low wage countries cannot.  Getting your car hand washed for $4 doesn't compensate for this.

Cheers,
John Meyer


And don't forget that the good folks in San Francisco kept voting against gifting the Giants and the 49ers a new stadium even though the team owners assured them that without those teams the City By The Bay would be nothing. Funny thing. The owners seemed to find a little coin in their own pockets for new facilities after voters called their bluff.

No, it's not paramount to my entire existence - that's pure projection on your part.


My mechanic laughs when I mention German vehicles. VW Audi Porsche MB BMW.....  He says he can make enough on one repair to go on vacation???  Yikes!  A license to print money.  I wish I had gone into the auto repair business.


What a joke!  Your tax dollars?  It is well established that the cities and States that are dominated by Democrat voters, contribute tax dollars  - while the rural and Red States take tax dollars.   Democrats are going to tire of supporting the living standards of the average GOP voter


Hillary funded  her campaign with large corporate donations including 250,000 speaking fees to Goldman and other Wall Street firms.  She is stealing the election from Bernie Sanders with super delegates who are super wealthy corporate and political players.  Bill Clinton and Hillary have been extorting world leaders around the globe for donations to the Clinton Foundation.  This column must be from the twilight zone.  Recommending voters select Hillary and 50 co conspirators to save the nation from Corporations.  Such a travesty.


I will bet that you don't actually know any Muslims. You remind me of those who call for shutting up Jews in ghettos -- and later, in concentration camps.

There is a vast difference between Lot shutting his door to keep a mob out, and keeping out all members of a religion because they are members of that religion.


"After the federal government introduced Bill C-56 in late June that would restrict how long inmates can be placed in solitary confinement..."

That statement is incorrect. Bill C-56 does NOT restrict how long a prisoner may be kept in solitary confinement. This includes younger offenders and prisoners with mental health issues. Bill C-56 simply requires that the warden who sends the prisoner to solitary confinement shall file a report on the matter after 15 days. After that, there's no limit to the amount of time a prisoner may be kept in isolation.

You can see the facts for yourself at the following link:

How is it "bigotry" for me not to want to give my money to organizations that teach total fiction?


What the taxpayers have paid because of illegal immigration is the real crime.What I find most interesting is the all out BLITZ by the Democrats, MSM, every faculty member at any university in the country fighting to the death for illegal aliens? they put a warm and fuzzy name on it "Dreamers." and no one seem to wonder why? future voters? can you imagine the Democrats ever being this interested or motivated in issues involving citizens! There is an estimated 800,000 DACA recipients in the US. That is 800,000 jobs American Citizens don't have or will be in competition for.

The GOAL, motivation (Democrats just haven't figured this out yet) is for the American citizens to be employed, sending their kids to college, buying homes and paying taxes. It's not the responsibility of the citizens of this country to support, educate citizens from other country's.Deportation will save jobs and decrease the expense of illegal aliens. There is also an incredible public safety issues.


There a famine in the US?


I love it when wingers invoke Ronald Reagan
-----------------
Ronald Reagan raised taxes 11 times in an attempt to fix his tax cuts for the wealthy.
The national debt rose from $900 billion to $2.8 trillion during Reagan's tenure.
Public debt grew three fold during Reagan's tenure.
Reagan didn't reduce the size of government, government grew under Reagan.
Reagan's tax code created the Savings and Loan debacle which cost the public 160 billion dollars.
Reagan funneled billions of dollars, along with top-secret intelligence and sophisticated weaponry to the Talbian and Osama Bin Lade.
Ronald Reagan's administration was marked by multiple scandals, the Iran Contra scandal being the most prominent, all told the administration's misdeeds and criminal actions resulted in the investigation, indictment, or conviction of over 138 administration officials, the largest number for any US president.
Yeah, bring up Reagan, St. Ronnie of the hagiography.
Wingnut idol, Ron Reagan. …..Doh.


The place where I see Air Miles cards in action the most is at the LCBO. Now, if you could redeem Air Miles at the LCBO, you'd see a huge spike in membership interest.

"the last thing we need is an NDP leader who is a cult member who believes in reincarnation."
============

Didn't the Conservatives just elect as leader a member of one of the world's largest cults and who celebrates reincarnation on the Sunday after the first full moon following the the spring equinox?

The NDP, Conservatives and Liberals are all free to elect as leader members of whatever cult they like so long as they clearly separate all of their cults from government policy.


"Hi.  Did I make fun of you once, eons ago when we were immature kids? I can't remember, but I'm feeling bad that I think I might have.  Can you tell me if I should worry about this anymore?"


Great yogurt,  and from an operation run by nice people.  How it should be.


I don't understand why Dr. Carson continues to support Trump.  His behavior and conversation are what one would expect in a barroom, not from a  presidential candidate.

On the other hand, Bill Clinton got a pass, in spite of numerous allegations of sexual misconduct by several different women.  And then there was the racist LBJ . . . . .

There seems to be enough hypocrisy to  go around, along  with plenty of evidence of a double standard.


It has never felt so near...and menacing before!  I was that tanned, beach girl that mingled with the tourists at Waikiki...long time ago!  I never knew they were rich,  just silly tourists with loud aloha shirts...but kind and generous.  Not a "Trump-like" person, at all.


I would love to see the liberal stronghold cities cut off from their hourly shipments when the trucks stop running and those "rural and suburban retards" stop trucking in their food.  Feral negros with EBT cards that no longer work would be rioting and looting the liquor stores within the hour. By the end of the week it would be full Cannibal Apocalypse a people start eating each other, with white bois cowering in the burnt out wreckage of a Starcucks waiting for the sun to come out. The ghouls are most active at night.


It's as effective as kneeling for a song.


This is the same kind of arrogance that Kirk Caldwell does .. Keoni and Kirk yes may have not broken the law but they think their untouchable and very arrogant !! Keoni spent recklessly and kirks million dollars he gets from banks and lying on his disclosure may or may not be illegal but sure is unethical and dishonest ..
You may not be able to do anything about Kenoi but you can vote Kirk Caldwell out and send message to these self centered mayors !! Kick the out !! We deserve better


Thanks for pointing that out.


Have you tried Ex-Lax?


And this is what makes it tough for Republicans to pass legislation. Unless they make the bill mean and draconian enough to please the likes of Mike Lee, Ted Cruz, Rand Paul and the rest of the wild-eyed kooks on the far right, it won't pass. If they make it mean enough to please those whackos they piss off the relatively-sane 'moderate' republicans whose votes they then lose.
.
Of course, in the middle of this are all the soulless squishes like Dan Sullivan who will vote however Mitch McConnell says to vote. Meanwhile, Lisa Murkowski is trying to figure out how to play both sides of the fence.


Overall, being judged upon standards, considerations, and implementation equivalent as Rail has been, the Superferry should never have been shut down.


And here is a fact for you.  The Donald is nothing but a fake president who lies, and goes back on his promises.  Shall we have a aparty when he steps down?  The president is mentally unbalanced and is only running on half a spark plug.  So yes the Donald is our president but for how long?  At first I gave him 2 years but now I really think he will be lucky to make it to Christmas.  Finally, sweet Hillary may not be our president but she got close to 3 million more votes than the fraud in chief.


Ever hear of the Songhai?

They were an empire that expanded, killed indigenous African tribes, and later sold them into slavery to the Moors/Portuguese.

Human history is full of instances where a central power captures a frontier from a lesser, weaker, or more primitive culture.

There isnt anything to apologize for, it is only in the current year where postmodernism has peaked does society feel that their forefathers did something wrong.

Let me assure you, if they hadn't someone would have, that is the paradox of this discussion.

And lets assume history played out by your argument: North America (the parts not dominated by the Aztec or Maya) would be a wasted empty land, and Africa would be filled with mud huts.

Progress sucks, the weak get consumed, the concept of equality doesn't exist in nature, if your culture used flint arrowheads and wasn't smart enough to bend the knee to a more advanced society with guns, you are going to get wrecked.

Welcome to the jungle.


If Trudeau admires China on the way it is run, does that mean Canada should be run like China,  a Communist country? I wonder how Canadians feel about this? The only other Prime Minister who said he admired China was Senior Trudeau.


I would much prefer someone shooting at me with a bump fire stock on their weapon because any kind of accuracy goes out the window when the bump fire switch is engaged and the chances of a jam or stoppage is increased 10 fold on bump fire.Once again the democrats are blaming the tool and not the nutcase committing the evil act and the only ones they want to punish are the law abiding responsible gun owners who have done no wrong.Look at whats been going on in Chicago for years under democrat control but they dont ever seem to want to talk about that.


I guess she only looks brilliant standing next to some, Nancy.


New White House hire Scaramucci leaks that he's about to fire someone,

     …..then fires them

         Moochie apparently has developed a reputation in campaigns of being a grifting, leaking, loyal-to-nobody self-promoter, to the extent that prior campaigns left him out of some meetings for fear he'd promptly leak their contents to the press.

         But he is evidently a dedicated suck-up, and that is the singular quality Donald Trump looks for in a toady.


What integrity would Canada maintain if it allowed people who do not qualify to remain in Canada to stay in Canada?

Canada must be run for the benefit of Canadians, not for the benefit of overseas criminals.


Why don't you and your "line in the sand," boss get out of Dodge early, before you do more damage.

remember to turn off the Democratic lights when you, Obama the Weak, get out of Dodge
and shut down Guantanamo (sarcasm, mockery) which you promised EIGHT years ago


I have a novel idea unpopular, but I believe novel. The governor all the way down to every elected official, must take a pay cut and work for the state minimum wage. They must also give up tax paid healthcare that we pay for them to enjoy and live on Medicaid like the poorest of our citizens do.

I believe if our representatives had to live the way we do financially there would be a  greater incentive to resolve finding the guts to stand up to the oil companies CEOs that enjoy corporate welfare via texting our citizens.

This pay deduction and healthcare downsizing,would continue until they decide to restructure the extorted tax payments of the mega rich oil companies that are enjoying tax payer funded corporate welfare as we tax payers are locked into paying for their privilege to take our oil. Enjoying big bonuses and golden parachutes.

Renegotiate get a better deal then get  your pay returndand healthcare. Increase our minimum wage to $15 an hour. when we make more we spend more!


Miller is next.
Then trump.


According to immigration law (unless it gets changed by Congress) the Obama DACA people have to have been in the US on June 12, 2012.

The only way they could 'rectify' their situation is by going back to their country of origin for ten (10) years.  They could hardly do that as infants.

This is the Catch-22 that their parents put them in.


Before we even try defining what it means to fully fund education, here are a few things to think about. The average child today is taught that they live in a Democracy and not a Republic; that speech is limited and not free; that gender is a social construct and not biology, and that everybody wins even when they lose. And once they survive basic education, here is a small sample of what higher learning can produce. Random College kids across the country were asked why they voted for Bernie Sanders as president. Answer? He was going to Federally legalize pot.  Think all of this is just a coincidence?

We used to lead the world in Education before the creation of the Department of Education.  Now after having spent trillions of dollars and dropping to around 33 on the list and declining, is it any wonder that some people actually continue to vote against an increase in educational spending?   At this rate, I might argue it would make far  more sense to actually Defund it?


Did I count "could" 38 times in this article? Trump does represent change with many unknowns and uncertainty, as opposed to Clinton who stood for keeping the status-quo corporate power structure in place, with it's widening insulation from the working middle-class that has been under siege for years.

I liked the positive upbeat tone, especially coming from a woman, because most of the women I've talked to feel persecuted from what they mistakenly view as the "white male backlash", when the problem is that the Democratic party had abandoned the working class, and instead focused on gender and racial politics.

Ms. Downey has a great post-election attitude, that should inspire everyone to work towards finding and fixing the problems that this country faces. The alternative would be rather unpleasant.

Thank you, Ms. Downey.


There's a controversy?


No, because the groups you mention are not protected classes.


Trump always adds fuel to a fire. The US should stay away but keep it's  defense system on 'extra' alert when it comes to N Korea. N Korea knows how to play the game and so many fall for it. It's like a child that wants attention. Let China deal with them. They have a better understanding than the Western world.
N Korea is the little tail wagging the big dog. Kim gets off on that. For years many countries have tried to placate N Korea with an enormous amount of help in the form of food aid etc. That in turn allowed N Korea to use use other revenues to build up it's  nuclear program.
Few will dispute that the US interferes too much in too many parts of the world. Iraq and the US should never have happened, yet G W Bush walks away a free man. Saddam was no prince but he at least kept the region stable.


Well Thomas, thanks for the opportunity to make my point clearer for you.  Victimhood belongs to each and every ethnicity found in the genealogy of each and every victim; and in the proportion that each ethnicity is truly present in each victim's genealogy.  What is absurd is to deny to all of those ethnicities an acknowledgment of the victimhood to which they are entitled.  The denial might be done by a victim who chooses to self-identify only one-eighth of his heritage, thereby cutting out and disrespecting some or nearly all of his own ancestry in order to falsely magnify the victimhood of his favorite group; or whether the denial is done by a grant-seeker who chooses to count only the one ethnicity which a governmental or philanthropic grant program is willing to give money to.  I want truth and transparency in the way victimhood is counted and recorded, not wildly exaggerated claims to get sympathy or money.


Pacific Halibut Commission is a bunch of racist.


I watched an interview with Brad Wall on Power Play where he stated that the Federal Government had not even completed a basic Economic Benefit/Cost Analysis on this carbon tax.  How do you impose something on the entire country that you have not even spent any time analyzing the actual economic costs to the country?


Regardless of your intention, you've done a service by making their behavior internet searchable.


Well Obama did his job.  You have convienantly forgotten that He draged this country from the worst economic recession since the great depression.  Well we now have a president that has basically done squat.  Enjoy your new job building the wall.  Hay have you started the new medical plan that the Donald has started?  Second to none?  What a joke the Donald is but not as big as a joke as the suckers who actually voted for him.  (Putin's suckers)


" In many cases however, the chiefs and councils make secret self-serving decisions. Band members are left in the dark. And, in contrast to the leaders, nearly penniless. "

Rich, you are correct in this assertion that band leadership often subvert the funds for their own ends and their own families, while the rest of the band suffers.

Stephen Harper moved to correct that by requiring open and transparent audits of all band funds.  But one of the first acts of Trudeau, who pledged to run an open and transparent government, was to rescind the requirement that bands show fully audited books.  Trudeau has taken the rank-and-file band members' interests backwards.


Could it be that a member of a vulnerable community was so terrified of our national social malaise that she tried to take care of herself and her child rather than risk the plausible dire harm of going to the authorities? This is how civilization fails. Because of xenophobic hatreds and bigoted intolerances. Those people collaborated in this harm.


Kraz the corruption of a political party is extremely different than corruption within the US government.


"But let's not forget Queen Victoria collected the largest amount of stolen property in the world. Winston Churchill was responsible for the starvation deaths of 4 million Indians."

Utter nonsense.  The Raj was the best thing that ever happened to the Indian states.


Why do the need to build a new power plant? It is only 20 miles long.  Based on your reasoning, New York City has about 200 power plants to power their rail system!  They have hundreds of miles of track with trains that are at least 3 times longer than the planned Honolulu rail and use express and local lines for each route.  The rest of your logic is faulty.  I guess nothing but more gas guzzling autos in 24 hour gridlock is your solution.


No Hillary, The "“unimaginable cruelty" is imposed by you on the American public, still clinging on to some pathetic hope of remaining relevant. Please give us a break and go away. Your perceived spotlight has long since dimmed.


CostCo and WalMart should be offered some of these prime spaces to sell bikes at a discount. High volume, low cost bike sales lots all over Honolulu using City lands... that would be fair.
.
Vendors could have bike sales lots at the airport. Buy, sell new, used bikes. Of course TheBus and train will carry them for free. There will be cheap bikes all over the place...


The cab driver is going to go the way of the elevator operator, blacksmith, weaver, cooper, etc.

Sure... you can fight it for a while but how did that work out for the Luddites?


Well Bobby, you are such a defensive driver you can avoid the stoned driver that is going to be swerving into your lane. Then I knew exactly who you will blame when it is you or one of your loved family who are maimed or killed. "Where were the cops" why didn't they protect me. Well you want someone stoned  like you driving at you in the opposing lane? I sure don't and I have pulled dozens of dead and maimed out of car wrecks, and always there is some person innocent and someone not.

And to #28 Whose miss-spelled crap is just another sign of his low intellect. It was a fight for 35 years working for incompetent politicians at all levels within and out side the agency.


Trump was elected by a minority of the population.  92 million eligible voters did not bother to vote; about 2.4 million voted for senators, but chose not to vote for either candidate in the presidential election.  http://www.businessinsider.com/trump-voter-turnout-records-history-obama-clinton-2016-11.
Telling that those who disagree with you are crazy for disagreeing with you is not the best way of creating dialogue.
You tout Trump as a businessman.  Well, he's a businessman with whom I would never do business, because he has stiffed many sub-contractors.  I wonder how much money he would have made on his own, if he had not had his father's huge fortune to start out with.


Re: Cindy Evans, this Speaker did what every other Speaker would have, at least where the Majority Leader had just been appointed, and whose ability to line up votes and deliver them had not yet been tested. I praise Evans for voting with her conscience, but that is not the Majority Leader's job. It might be otherwise if we had a two party system in Hawaii but under the current state of affairs, dissenters are freely expendable and the GOP has given us no reason to change that.

Re: the Second Amendment, cite all the history you want, and there is plenty, but the final word on the issue has been given by the Supreme Court, and that is that the right to bear arms is an individual right, not a collective one. The question now is whether and to what extent it may be limited. Despite Steve Scalise's opinion that there are no limits, the Court has said otherwise and we are waiting to see what limits are permissible, especially as it relates to concealed/open carry outside the home.


ChuckT, if you believe that, you've been had.  I go to Paris relatively often, and there isn't one part of it that is unsafe to walk in by male or female, day or evening.  My last trip, after that Fox News apology, I stayed in a hotel on the edge of one of the supposted 'no-go zones.' No problem whatsoever.


SO the question is when should older people stop driving?


Support the same right to self determination for the Chechens, Karelians, Siberians, Kalmyks and dozens of other nationalities languishing in the so-called Russian Federation (sic) - they want to be freed from the neo-fascist regime of the KGB criminal in the Kremlin.


But you care about telling us you don't care.


In TR's time, 45 would never have made the cut. 45 is what happens when you replace reading with reality television and social media. Take Twitter away from trump given his relationship with the domestic and international press what is left? Smoke signals?


I challenge your comment on 'highly educated'. Teachers only have a bachelor's degree, which is hardly unique today or for the past 10-15 years. Many of whom  have no qualifications to do anything else.
As a parent of two kids in an elementary school (and a university professor myself), I'm constantly disappointed in the lack of knowledge my kids' teachers have.


you need to understand that a brt system using roads will still be caught in traffic, unless it has a dedicated lane or is elevated.  bonds, virtual railways runs on roads so it is impractical here in Honolulu with so much traffic going in many directions.  any mass transit system not having a dedicated route will be slow and if using surface streets, it will cause more traffic.  creating a separate surface lane will still be very expensive as land will have to be condemned, displacing many people and businesses along the way.  entrance and exit ramps will have to be built, requiring more land for these ramps.  the devil is in the details, merely looking at something and saying it will work and save money is easy to say.


here's how to handle the panhandlers... soon as they make any move  towards you..walk right up (check out the dog first)  "i am SO glad to meet you (reach out to shake their hand (they usually respond in like, because they are stunned) . " jeez, i still need $100 bucks for rent - we are SO scr*wed -they're gonna take away our home and i haven't had milk for the babies in DAYS!  How about a $20..gotta 20?  a ten?  a five?  come on man.   not even a buck?..." they have walked away at this point... with me calling out "thank you.." if they've given anything or not. once in a while.." i'll give you $5 for the dog."
 i have a strategy for unwanted phone calls as well.....


Yes JT, just plow ahead with the same insane policies that destroyed Ontario's economy...the stupidity of this man knows no bounds.


Police shootings are a problem.  2 family members were cops and i was offered a job after Vietnam but chose otherwise.  It is a rough job, they are trained to protect themselves but like in combat, the daily pressure can get to you and cause mistakes.  Bad people are dangerous.
I am white and don't socialize that much with african americans yet a couple guys I am close to have commented they have been stopped over 50 times and always have to be VERY careful.   They keep  their hands in site on the steering wheel, start and end sentences with sir or officer and still occasionally get a cop with challenging attitude
A cop shouldn't have to risk death, yet the frequency of shootings suggest cops have become to militaristic and forgot they are there for civilian policing.  Hiring is part of the problem when a large percentage of hires were High School bullies and that led them ot want power and control.  We need far more psychological testing pre hire and annually.


Sorry to hear of your losses.  Our squadron were the 2nd in during Desert Storm (35th Wild Weasels).  Fortunately we didn't lose anybody, but I know there were many on the ground who weren't so fortunate.

Yes, we (at least I did) joined to protect our Constitutional rights.  And, Brandon is fortunate to enjoy his because of those willing to serve to uphold them.

However, I don't believe Brandon kneeling is with intent to dishonor the military or his country.  In fact, I believe he specifically said so last year.

That said, I think the "disrespect" towards our military comes from another place: our general public and our government.  Desert Storm had nothing to do with the sovereignty of our country.  Brave servicemen and women gave their lives for power and profit.  If anyone deserves our scorn, it's those who send our brave men and women to these unnecessary wars.  Call out your congressman to respect the lives of our military.  Perlmutter hears from me weekly.


Absolutely correct.  And I think many Americans would have overlooked that, if it also hadn't been for the fact that in this recent span of time, this woman has established a track record of making it about herself.

Bashing the U.S., its Presidential candidates, throwing a tantrum at her perceived injustices at being Muslim,  playing the victim when it was decided she wouldn't be the flag bearer at the Opening ceremonies.

This has been about her since day one, and it came out in her loss.


Carl Pawliker of Trumputin's boots. Your candidate will be impeached and all you Trumputin lovers will be stigmatized as allies of a foreign dictator and enemies of American democracy. Fakes, traitors, quislings.


This doesn't make any sense to me, that August is the first month of decline in Toronto since 2016. Every other report I've seen shows GTA down 18-20% since April.


when Trump's elbow is below his chest women need to run!

And, yes, I know it has nothing to do with the topic but the opportunity to poke fun at Trump was just too much.


Gee, could this person be using her Female Privilege to assert the "Toxic" word, so that people associate it with Toxic Masculinity, and she then has more weight to her BS..?

tell ya what Leslie, why don't you make a law which you can then have only women enforce...

...where us men should have to apologize everyday to some entitled and spoiled western woman as yourself...would that make your type happy..?

But even then you would find something to scold people on, wouldn't you...as it puts you above whoever you are criticizing huh

Go have some kids and try being a woman for a change.


If your monthly income is $1650, you surely qualify for a subsidy to help pay your insurance premium and/or you would qualify for Medicare.


That is so sad!! Prayers to the victims family and friends!!


You think this is a new development?! Believe me, it was much worse 30 years ago when I went to university.


Check you biases and assumptions at the door. Maybe the Flames are simply the better team.


Aw. You didn't go to college either, did you?   Jealousy is so unbecoming.


Got 'cha and sorry I was a little slow to pick up on it.


Does the little tweetie bird tell you Mueller's motivations and secret desires?  Maybe bipartisan is the best word when you have people working together across the aisle. How terrible is that? They can all cancel each other out politically! or maybe it is what it should be -a non partisan, professional, by the book investigation.  "Don't even suggest this investigation is politically biased" is right.


I thought no religious test was legal ?  Why can't Mormans practice polygamy? Or Muslims?


Stephen,

You're focused on one event vs. Hillary's more than 30 years of lying about everything and attacking the character and reputation of all the women he raped or committed adultery with? Give me a break. That's like asking someone why they haven't gotten a flu shot when they're sitting in a car across the railroad tracks with a train speeding toward them.


Wow, I get two new nicknames - Right Honourable Member from Somewhere....and His Niblets.  And I think this is in addition to earlier ones.  I feel honoured.  Of course, I would feel better if the attacks were intelligent or understandable but Niagara does his best with what he has.  He is trying to keep up but struggles.  That's OK, the effort is there.

But keep pumping those stats.  Always helpful to know where to go by looking in the rear view mirror.


This could have happened to any of us that work and play in almost any part of our beautiful state. Even with a gun there is no guarantee that a determined bear can attack and injure or kill you. Everything we do involves risk, choices, and decisions. Bear spray and a fire arm most likely will lesson the risks. I carry both.  Statistically speaking it is way more dangerous driving down the Seward Highway.


Why should taxpayers fund and/or subsidize university tuition and related costs at all? In my opinion, the full real cost of most post-secondary tuition should be charged to student accounts and be repayable based on income for up to 20 years following graduation. And upon emigration from Canada any balance owing should be repayable in a lump sum. We're currently funding a lot of graduates in the medical and technological professions who are simply leaving the country, offering Canadian taxpayers and the Canadian economy little or no value for money. And qualifications inflation outside of the major professions is a major problem as well, which is something we shouldn't encourage. It's time to rethink the whole system from the ground up.


It would seem that they have already have done so which must gladden your heart.


DT is going to have a great year!  Glad he is feeling good!


Perhaps there should be a mandate to remove a directive/law every time you add one - that way they'd be forced to review some of these things more often.


The problem is not so much the funds as it is the advisors who put their pocket ahead of their clients, and the banks who introduced trailers above 1%. The real problem now is scrap the trailers and let the industry charge more than what they received in trailers initially. Look at the fee charts from institutions, most of them you won't pay less than 1.5%, and if you can't afford it out of your bank account then get prepared to have it redeemed from your highest valued investment. No gains here for investors, just increased costs. More than they are paying now.


Between the wind and the lack of Sunday commuters, it was remarkably clear over Denver and the whole metro area yesterday.  When you notice the distinct lack of a brown cloud every once in a great while, you know there is a problem.


And this is what trump had to say about carson during the primaries:

"During the campaign, Trump said that Carson could not be trusted, and he said it in breathtaking terms:

…I don’t want a person that’s got pathological disease. I don’t want it. I’m not saying he’s got it, he said it.

This isn’t something that I’m saying, like “Oh, he’s pathological liar.” I’m not saying it! He said he’s got pathological disease. He actually said pathological temper.

And then he defined it as disease. So he said he has pathological disease.

Now. If you’re pathological, there’s no cure for that, folks.

Okay, there’s no cure for that. And I did one of the shows today. And I don’t want to say what I said. But I’ll tell you anyway. I said that if you’re a child molester, a sick puppy, you’re a child molester, there’s no cure for that. There’s only one cure—we don’t want to talk about that cure. That’s the ultimate cure. Well, there’s two, there’s death, and the other thing."

These are trumps words.


That would be really cool for a kid. He doesn't realise he's nothing more than a photo op. He will, but for now, it's the greatest day of his life and that's cool.

Reminds me of Saddam Hussein and that terrified, helpless child stand there as a mass murderer pats him on the head. All anyone needs to do is watch the first 60 seconds to get a full picture. Right down to the yanking the boy closer to him for the camera shot Hussein wants. A british reporter asks to the British boy prisoner "Are you getting your milk Stewart? He nods yes and Husein pipes in "With corn flakes too!" as if that's some sort of sign of his generosity.

The entire interaction is disturbing at best. But alot of the mannerisms and tone combined with an ulterior purpose. Get people to stop talking about how terribly kept the British prisoners were treated. Overalls with "Milk Factory" on the backs of people who had no clue why they were wearing overalls. It's spooky

"Iran's been misbehaving, and needs to be punished."  I cannot believe that a leader of any nation would say such a thing.  There are many who believe the same thing about the United States, but they keep their mouths shut.  Why do we assume the right to tell other nations how to behave?  I've never been able to figure that out.  We certainly would bristle if some other country's leader started saying such things about us.


Liberal tax-grab that will mean nothing in terms of waste reduction.


DougN:  You and I agree and disagree on many issues and I enjoy exchanges with you.  In this instance we're quite in agreement.  The EC was founded on the compromise relating to large population/small population colonies.  It's functioned to retain what I feel is a reasonable balance between the urban/rural and "elitist"/Populist interests in our country.

While I'm somewhat less than overjoyed with the election of Donald Trump, I don't "blame" it on the EC.  Folks will be discussing the factors leading to Mr. Trump's victory far, far beyond our lifetimes.   The EC/popular vote discrepancy is a result of the interplay of all those factors and, IMO, reflects those many factors, not some genuine flaw in the EC system.


In a free society, people are free to make their own choices.  If they are not free to make their own choices, then they do not live in a free society.

In Canada, people are free choose where they live, what their careers are, who they associate with, who fall in love with, even - EVEN - free to choose not to live at all.  Is it really appropriate for us to be interfering in how people choose to dress?

Yes, the message behind some choices of dress is offensive, even abhorrent - religious face-coverings are hardly unique in that.  However, if we are to be a _free_ society, then adults in Canada must be free to make their own choices, as long as they do no harm to others.

How does wearing a face covering harm society?


We can just start referring to it as the 'Republican Insurance Plan', or it's acronym, R.I.P.


"Weather experts blamed the extreme weather on climate change.".

So who are these "weather experts", who understand climate cycles that may take centuries or more to manifest themselves?

They have enough to do getting weekly weather right, most of the time.


[Who will pay for this wall?]

The above comment is a grotesque distortion. There is, and never has been, a genocide perpetrated in Syrian by any side in the conflict.


Maybe there were really three individuals on board that boat; the third being an angel from heaven??


Ironically, each of those multi-million dollar settlements prohibits the victims from letting 'the truth come out'  ..............................  O'Reilly just can't stop lying.


That's fascinating.  If you're a Christian you must know the Bible.  Biblical prophecy says that the destruction of the earth will come about through humans enacting the will of Satan.  It says that the trees will burn, the oceans will die, that men will faint in terror at the storms, among other things like pestilence.  It also says that if God had not stepped in, there would be nothing left alive on earth.

One of my favorites is from Job:

"Hast thou entered the treasuries of the snow, Or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail, Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, Against the day of battle and war?"
Job 38:22-23

Another from Daniel says that knowledge will increase and the people will be highly mobile, unlike anything ever seen before.

The war is the war for the earth, which Satan hates because it is God's creation, but it is also a spiritual war.  If you're not with God's creation, you're on the wrong side.


"Off his rocking chair?"  Is that your professional diagnosis Dr. Flea?


Let's hope the cho cho train to nowhere is running out of steam.


You don't live in PA so how about you leave it up to the voters there to decide?


Mr. Trudeau and the Liberals will be the tipping point for the growing populist and nationalist sentiments brewing in Canada.  Shoving over 300,000 immigrants a year into a recessionary economy competing with our own unemployed will no longer be tolerated.  2019 will end this global nonsense.


Thank you, God.


Gary, you are just talking.  When Trump takes positions we can discuss them.  As it is you are simply projecting your world view onto Trump.  I think he is actually a relatively smart man.  I guess you think he is stupid.  I think he truly does want to make America Great Again, you apparently don't.  But these are just opinions.  You don't like him.  Okay, that says it all.  Your justifications are BS until Trump takes action.


Just more fake news because those sources haven't been confirmed yet. Then when it becomes real news it won't matter because it's just the democrats trying to keep Trump down somehow because everyone was so in love with Hillary.

*Yawn*


The reality, based on actual fact, is that nearly 3 million more voters rejected Trump than supported him. Where things get cloudy, Paul, is that no one, not even you, will ever know what effect Russian involvement played in the election. That you are so unconcerned about this is what is puzzling to those of us in the middle, but hey, thats just my opinion.


When I posted it, this was the reply: "Thank you for your help! You will not receive a reply." It tells you something about how StatCan is misrun that this is their automatic response. One would expect something like: "You will only receive a response if we require a clarification or to acknowledge our gratitude for being the first person to find an error we have gone on to correct."


It seems more important that "quiet and effective" was correct.


I must have missed the part where G&M advocated for this, where is it exactly?


She was the quintessenital PITA. Your comment captured her spirit, which I'm chure would make her laugh... I'm crying alone, knowing she's shaking her head saying "Get outside and DO something about it!"


I believe we talk too much about racism and not enough about non-racism, where a person can be respected for who they are, independantly from the race to which they belong.


Based on some of the recent court rulings, wearing politically-oriented clothing is just one of many stupids.


are you serious?


chris nyman: can't imagine why anyone would publicly aligned themselves with her. You're out there.

Abbas, that may be your modus operandi but I prefer dignity.

So don't judge others by your standards.

So, if those "new opportunities" in Russia, Iran and China, are so much better than here where "we would be left behind, devoid of innovation and technology, hewers of water and tillers of land", why aren't you over there enjoying the gentle hospitality of those brutal dictatorships that you so admire?

Could it be that it's much more comfortable to live here with a high standard of loving, a good future, enjoying the benefits of the rule of law and respect for human rights?

Go back to Iran, or Russia, or China, and enjoy the vicious repression that you so admire.

Brainwashed.


Wait until BillyBob  and his marauding militia  get a looky at this thiing, They gonna mess their britches  Bahahahahahahaha  .


Losers. Focusing on grammatical errors to demonize while failing to proof read their own articles consistently. Journalism which has this kind of hate only fuels the fire of division in our country.... BTW a little off topic, you guy may know though... How exactly do I sign up to get the $25/hr to protest again?


Don't worry, the blind trust will establish itself.....just like the budget.


It will be interesting to see what happens as Zika appears in the southern USA, home to Republican rule which is opposed to fighting this disease with a fully funded governmental approach. While mosquitoes bit everyone, apparently Republican majorities are making themselves more available.


How can a mistake like Humanae Vitae be corrected? It is being corrected by walking away from it and letting time pass so that it can be forgotten. The church has walked away from physics and chemistry.It will eventually walk away from biology and medicine. Sooner or later reality trumps theory.

Most grateful to those who had the foresight to put into place the laws that protect the iwi kupuna burial places.  Queen Liliuokalani Trust should have been first to accommodate this process. To me, this was their kuleana as representatives of our last reigning Queen.  Is this a glimpse of what will be emerging from the cocoon as the new vision of the Queen's representatives?  "...and from the lepo will rise the makaainana!"  I guess the prophecy is coming true.


There is still no proof yet from 17 of oboobas top intel agency's. If they do find proof then it shows how inept they were at stopping it. Did hillary lie.....


No. Categorically, no. Right of way is determined by several factors, but the relative size of the vessels is never one of them.


Exactly, pederasty has never been about equal relationships. The Trump/Ryan "pairing" though is symbolic of the relationship of the Republican party to Il Duce: prone.


The political concerns are that she is a conservative.


Unmonitored free markets do not work. Having said that, how much time do you spend looking at management circulars, proxy statements etc? Most financial advisors don't know how to find executive & board compensation let alone understand the tax preference the mega rich receive. Once they get in 'the club' they shut up about it. Some low level person decided they wanted to tax stock options and other euphimisms for the same thing. Morneau could not allow it as they , the mega rich execs deal with his business. (His wife is worth $3 billion) One CEO I looked at has $28.4 million in deferred stock options which are only half taxable... also big corps hire ex politicians..get it? They give them options too..broke to millionaire in no time & only half taxable. What we need is total tax reform, financial literacy taught in school & full transparency on executive & board compensation. There, I said it...


What are they going to do with Quebec and it French Language provisions, we have had French speakers come to NB to work in the woods, work in our ambulances, work in our hospitals and now they are coming to take jobs away from NB teachers. Every French speaking Quebecer who comes here takes a job that an English speaking NB person can do. So our English speaking young people pack up and move even after NB has paid for their education, it is nuts.


The one part of the American educational system that is the envy of the world?   The part that has competition?  The part that has Pell Grant/vouchers that follow the student - instead of the institution?

The new President and his new Education Secretary are sure to see the obvious parallel between how higher ed is financed and how they'd like to see all education financed.

Hasten the day that American K-12 is the envy of the world because we finance it the same way we do colleges and universities - including state government giving a Trump Grant/voucher to every parent/student for the full amount of state school support -- including a larger amount  for each special needs kid.

Thus the  correct term to use when talking with you.  But why are you quoting one of Pandora's old posts without giving her credit?


Give me break. "Trumps tweets aren't wrong".


This sentence does not make sense: "Both foundations make indirect investments such as index or mutual funds, whose managers may or may not invest in fossil fuels."

You don't "make" an investment such as an index. You don't make an investment such as a mutual fund. You invest "through" or "in" these things.

Someone may invest in or through an index fund, but who makes an investment such as an index?

Either poor editing or understanding of the subject matter


The problem with buying the building now, no matter what the price, is that it will always be a reminder of how our elected officials sold us out.  The landlord is corrupt and doesn't deserve to dump the LIO on us at any cost.  He needs to hurt, and boy, is his reputation garbage now.


One of the biggest problems with bears, is that they are big and tough.  The handguns most people carry will truly just piss a bear off, 9mm, .40, .45, none are big enough to stop a bear unless you are incredibly lucky.  Something larger, the problem is getting your follow on shots on target.  In rifle calibers, most hunters that I know, use bolt action rifles, so you might get 1 or at most 2 shots at a charging bear, and even with a .30 cal round (30-30, 30-06, .308), you may or may not stop the bear in the first shot.  One of the articles pointed out that it took an average of 4 shots to stop a bear, unless you are incredibly lucky or very very good, you aren't going to get the chance at 4 shots.

You would have a better chance against a black bear than against a grizzly, just because black bears tend to be smaller and less aggressive.  That being said, the right tool is bear spray.


Sounds like Garrison should get some anger management counseling before he hurts himself or someone he loves.  Perhaps he'll join Babs Streisand and move to Mexico when Trump wins.


Canada's political "star" expected to dim in 2017 too


Both are bad choices. Out of warranty Audi is expensive to maintain and hybrid SUV is an oxymoron and a colossal waste of money.


I don't know whether transgenderism is a mental affliction or a physical one,  but either way, it is a condition that will require years of medical treatment to "cure".  We don't allow people with club feet or rickets to join the Infantry, since neither can walk the walk without large amounts of medical intervention.  We don't allow allow diabetics to join,  nor those with other diseases or conditions, because of the increased medical care needs that detract from their ability to perform active service.  It seems reasonable to prohibit known transgenders from enlisting to prevent the long term and expensive medical care they would need in order to perform their duties.


The Heritage Fund is almost $20 billion.

Psst... The USA's taxation system is nothing like Canada's.  And stop mentioning Norway.


My suspicion is that he asked Mary to affirm that whatever she told him was "the all" she was able to tell.
In his mind and soul he pondered two things in light of this woman, his betrothed: what do I feel like doing; what is the right think to do. We know what he chose and never looked back; never regretted.


As usual, John Elway leads the charge back to sanity and the business at hand....the SPORT of Football! The NFL better wake up and take his lead before all these players are working at 7-11 or are filing for welfare. I have given some thought to getting rid of my Bronco paraphernalia, but Elway has restored my faith in Pat Bowlen's organization. Thanks John!!

... but, as far as we know, David Duke didn't vote for Hillary Clinton. And there's really no way for a candidate to not accept a vote.

Who's making stuff up, again?


Maybe he's a closet Jew - doesn't wear a yarmulke, Star of David, or other religious symbol.


I don't pretend to know why God knows or does what he does, if I did he would not be worthy of being worshiped. Why is there sin in the world ? For one - Sin is being dealt with and put away and will be no more, and as far as the ones he has chosen to die -I have news for you: Everybody Dies -So you do not like the manner of death ? It is a split second and after that eternity, so in the grand scheme of things why does the manner of death matter ?

He chose to rest to give man a model of worship and to illustrate the ultimate rest that comes from faith in Christ.

Basically you don't believe God because you don't like him, well, that does not make it true. You have no "transitional" fossils and the "strata" is a joke, you need Billions of years to make it happen, but even then it still does not make sense. There is far more evidence for a global flood than "billions" of years, sorry, but I only have 500 characters. You will never disprove God, the truth endures - the end.

I am a survivor of this broken foster care system, and my abusers profited obscenely from both government payola and from free child slave labor. I turn 30 soon, and I have been advocating for foster care reform and oversight for 14 years. Such poorly designed financial incentives contribute to the abuse and re-abuse of children, and are rife with fraud and profiteering...


This is a link to a recently released Voter Study Guide of the 2016 electorate:  https://www.voterstudygroup.org/reports/2016-elections/political-divisions-in-2016-and-beyond

I think there's intriguing information that goes to your point.  Trump's supporters are a combination of conservatives both economically and socially as well as populists, those socially conservative but economically more progressive.  The Democrats supporters are exclusively liberal both economically and socially.  (Note the few libertarians in the electorate vs within the political elite.).

To win, Democrats must maintain their progressive economic position but must be more open socially.  Pro life and economically progressive Democrats would be winners in many districts across the country.  This is the way forward.


Hahaha stopped TMT lol using your court system


Totally unnecessary. We need more and better bus service. WE do not need another expensive  downtown centric  light-rail line.  if anything  use the blue  line tracks and swing to   Beaverton, Tigard, Tualatain, Wilsonvile.


Some people don't believe in volcanos until they erupt.

Yep you got it straight. And the dipsticks defend this stuff as if she has done something fabulous.

And we have a president who lost the actual election by over three million votes - what's your point?  Elections have consequences, deal with it.


This is without a doubt the single most intelligent policy any president could pass in the USA at this time. The US has invaded Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Syria an Yemen via proxy armies. In effect it has garnered the wrath of Islam and has created such hatred for the USA that many Islamic Jihadists are eager to commit acts of suicidal terrorism on US soil, given the chance.. Once again, Donald Trump is right!


Alaska overpaid for this acquisition-- a 47 percent premium over Virgin's share price. Virgin doesn't even own its planes, it leases them, so what did they acquire, except landing slots? It would have been far  cheaper for Alaska to simply buy 50 new aircraft and expand their route system. The only upside is that they eliminate a competitor--but at what price?


Still can happen unfortunately no matter wat....


It's funnier than heck watching the Democrats implode. :)


The sad thing is that the Wisconsin team you describe is probably not as good as the one that went to three consecutive Rose Bowls (one a loss to Oregon) a few years ago.


What do these people actually do to earn a living?
Curious.


Yes Bauer, and the new treas. sec. is saying the debt ceiling needs to be raised sooner rather than later. Now why would that be? If your reply is, "to add more layers to MY wasteful government" then good for you.


Stop with the underlining! It REALLY gets in the way of whatever it is that you are trying to communicate!


When the results in critical swing states sates using electronic voting differ from the patterns found in states using paper-based voting, an investigation should be automatic. No one should have to ask or post a bond. JDart88, one must question your motives and your critical thinking skills.


I really don't think he'll last four years in office.


of course if zuckaberg gave you a few million, suddenly everything would be ok. that's the funny part.you broke, desperate liberals are predictable.


Fr Zed is a disgrace to the priesthood. His website is full of hatred and intolerance and he has the effrontery regularly to solicit contributions for his frequent travelling, feasting and wine quaffing. Nothing he writes would surprise me. I love the traditional liturgy but in the hands of men like him, I fear its future is grim.


So basically what you're saying is that nothing should be done?


I don't need to explain my actions to you, so I really am high on your target list, huh ? I am getting it now. WOW for you:

1Co 1:18-31  For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.  (19)  For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.”  (20)  Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?   (25)  For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. (25) For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.  (26)  For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. (27)  But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong;


Facts are immaterial to the 30th percentile.


How about the Border Patrol not following court orders to cease and desist?  If the Trump administration will not bow to the judicial system we have a constitutional crisis.  Even Nixon didn't disobey the courts.

The DACA Renewal Fund: Make a donation to support renewal fees for DACA Recipients!
On September 5, 2017 the Trump Administration announced an end to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. There are 154,000 individuals who qualify to renew their DACA Status before October 5th, 2017. This process is urgent, complicated, and expensive. It means that many young people have to quickly come up with the $495 renewal fee that would have taken months to raise.

You can support a DACA recipients' renewal


Next up is Trump Jr. for lying to investigators. (Will he lose his toy guns for trophy hunting if indicted for a felony? YES!!!) And if Mannafort was capable of such a money laundering scheme, so was the President before he took office.  Now that they are looking, they might find all sorts of nasty and shady money deals by the Trump brand overseas. The Russians already have the goods on Trump, but why play that card until you really need to.  Trumps is getting exposed for what he really is.  Lets at least hope that Pence is giving the State of the Union address in January and the country can move on from this debacle.

Remind of dirty tricks by Nixon, where he had others he didn't know do the dirty work, like break-ins...etc.  Trump knows Mannafort way better than Nixon knew Liddy.


We just did a near 600 mile ride in our lowly 330ci cabby' it's all the GT car I need. And it's an `01, with 72K summer miles. No steeeenking turbo's for me.


Ernest Moniz claims to be a "scientist", and in fact a "nuclear physicist".  Surely he can address simple physics, such as blackbody-radiation, CO2 absorption frequencies, and other such non-political science?  Here is an open invitation, in case he can actually do physics that is not pure political self-advancement.  You can talk the talk, sir, but can you walk the walk?  Or did you get ahead on nothing but pure political abilities of yours that we have seen?

This is how Sunny Boy does things differently? Not only has he broken his promise  to those that were stupid enough to believe him, he laughs and says he is doing nothing illegal...that's not the point and he should have the basic ethical knowledge to know that. He is a Hypocritical Liar....soon he will just give us his Dad's famous finger.


Completely wrong.  Mandatory arbitration clauses force both parties into arbitration and bar court involvement.  The Federal Arbitration Act is extremely broad, and preempts local state laws that might allow you to circumvent arbitration.

Arbitration is extremely biased towards the corporations, because arbitrators make their living by being selected by the parties (it is not like a court where you just get assigned to a judge) - a typical consumer might go to arbitration once, while the corporation might have hundreds - you can only guess which side the arbitrator is likely to favor if they want repeat business.

The most you can do when the decision goes against you is appeal the arbitration decision, and that is almost a guaranteed loser in court because the court presumes the validity and binding nature of the arbitration process absent exceptional circumstances.

So yes, this is a widespread problem for consumers generally, and a bad thing for the bike program.


School boards have a very significant political role.  They obfuscate what the Ministry of Education has done or failed to do.  It is not in the interest of provincial governments to get rid of school boards.


The hysterical left just got more rabid.


this is the same liberal government that fixed hydro.


So, I now hear that there are multiple versions of truth.
Interesting view you have T Rogers.

Does Canada even have any gated communities?  I know many very wealthy Canadians (some are billionaires) and they don't live in gated communities.  This MP is sitting on a gold-plated pension for a few years of "work" while we all eat cake.  If you live in Winnipeg make sure you let this donkey know what you think of his lack of insight into the lives of real Canadians.


It's mind boggling to consider that a guy dies and eight or nine thousand years later people are still trying to decide who owns what's left of his bones and where his scant remains can be buried.


I like this store, but no way is there ever 40-50 people in it.


How much difference is between the two.....really how much?


•"The U.S. says it wants commitments “to provide fair and open conditions” in telecommunications and financial services, including provisions that prohibit discrimination against foreign service suppliers."

Canadians should rejoice. Its the end of the good times and easy money for Trudeau's friends in Corporate Canada and the wealthy Canadian Corporate Families having protected markets, monopolies in Canada and ripping off Canadian consumers.
If anyone has stocks of Canadian telecoms and  financial services it's time to sell and sell fast as those Canadian telecoms values will implode.


Any suggestion of a monolithic category of the poor is definitely false.  Thank you for the opportunity to argue (debate? Discuss?) with you.  I am done as well.


We need to keep the black privilege conversation going if we hope to arrive at an amicable closure.  Please join in.


People really need to quit beating around the bush on these issues.  Truth be known, the bottom line is which group is better funded and better connected.  The group which believes in development of resources,  or the group which desires to protect the entire planet from man and his activities.  Obviously the loudest and most politically connected, is the environmental lobby.

As one poster said, think globally, not locally.  Local people are not capable of knowing what is best so they need to be controlled  from afar by Government.  I do agree to a point that some people are more concerned with having a job, earning a living and supporting their families and communities than worrying about someone in New York City driving a hybrid car rather than a gas engine.

But the locals really do not matter to the environmental protection crowd because really, the world would be so much better off if it were not for all of the people needing air, food,  houses, clothes.  They just need welfare


Good neighbors.


TPT--and how many of those crimes were the two men you refer to as having extensive records actually convicted of? Anyone can throw out baseless allegations, but having to prove them in court is a whole other thing.  Overcharging is a fact of life in Alaska and elsewhere.  It's too bad the DAs that do it aren't sanctioned every time it's demonstrated that there's no evidence or any evidence sufficient to support the charge--and arrest, followed by incarceration--in the first place.


I couldn't agree more.

Why do we let France, the USA, and others to have polling statins in Canada for their national votes?


Poor guy most like was drugs.


"the developers’ traffic engineer analyzed traffic counts compiled by Lakeridge residents.... The engineer concluded that the street would operate well within city standards, with a wait of no more than 14 seconds to turn left onto southbound Delta Highway during rush hour in 2026."

You get what you pay for!!!


Having a Quebec lieutenant would not have helped Trudeau answer the question.

My recollection is that PET was promoting bilingual services across the country, not just in provinces with large numbers of speakers of a particular language. It would have been cheaper for governments to go with Justin's implied version of bilingualism - French services in Quebec, maybe bilingual in NB,  and English-only in all other provinces.


Hey Moreham (silly moniker that is) ... I know you low effort types usually love Reagan despite your weak sense of history.  Do you know what Reagan said about Israel..... Do not move past the 1967 borders?   So do you agree with Reagan moreham?

Violence stats in this report are terrible indeed.

And actually the figures are worse than reported, since the report actually only deals with violence against women.

(Having looked at the Key Indicator Report from Stats SA, I note that their reporting titled "Experience of physical violence by any partner" and "Experience of sexual violence by any partner" were actually reporting only on violence experienced by women.)

A quick Google seems to say that domestic violence is sadly mainly men against women, nevertheless 15% of domestic violence is  against men.  That is to say that alongside 10 female victims of domestic violence, there stands also 2 men.  It would be good if next time stats are gathered across both genders.


Hey, look at the comment section!
A bunch of white folk arguing about how black folk don't have it bad!
.....'cause, ya know, white folk know all about being black.


The NRA position is not "against" the idea of a smart gun.  They are merely saying that government does not have the right to "mandate" smart guns.  If you want to purchase a smart gun, then you should have that opportunity, however, there are currently no commercial products that are even close to being reliable enough for any serious use.


Gen. Kelly is entitled to express his viewpoints and opinions about the Civil War that ended 152 years ago. Or about Gen. Lee who died 140+ years ago. The discussion is a moot point.

The Emancipation Proclamation was issued 154 years ago. Perhaps, the Congressional Black Caucus can move into the 21st Century. "Faux" outrage over the ghosts of mid-19th Century is the bailiwick of pathetic left-wingers.

Lee was unquestionably a brilliant general, a hero of the Mexican-American War, and cemented his legacy with the Confederacy. 152 years ago Lincoln made the decision to pardon all of the Confederate soldiers and leaders. Today's passive-aggressive leftists rage about contrived and fabricated grievances. It doesn't require a forensic psychiatrist to figure out the Left Wing and Media. Back to raging about the War of 1812? Spanish-American War? More ghosts to fear?


So of the 600 people that attended 98% were democrats. What a sad, sorry party.


Not surprised about greater acceptance by Canadians of immigrants and refugees as the small-minded fears about terrorism, etc. haven't played out. The attitude toward the U.S. is a little surprising though. My family has altered our vacation plans away from a yearly U.S. trip due mainly to the exchange rate. However, there is also a component of fear of gun violence built into every trip south of the border.


"Strengthen the mandate; expand the subsidies; close the loopholes..."

Sounds like a train wreck to me either way.


Thank  Goodness, now I do NOT have to watch on the tv  news about riots in the streets, Police cars on fire, business windows smashed and looting, kids out of school marching etc.
