LMAO...guess he is the assistant chief to the chief assistant.
So basically the Liberals get voted in and now have to pay someone to tell them how to do the job they were elected to do?...Only a Liberal...
Maybe L. Ron Hubbard is for hire.


"I’m saying that it’s not my place to say how or when he should be able to express himself. Nor is it yours. Nor is it the NFL’s."

I wonder if professor Crisp said the same thing about Tim Tebow.


Perfectly logical and predictable result.

Wouldn't surprise me if their tips (for tip jobs) went down as well.  When a customer knows that the price for their meal and drinks went up to give the employees higher pay, it's logical to think that 20% tips should no longer be the norm, and back them down to maybe 10%.

In fact, I remember reading last year that some restaurants are purposely taking that all the way at once -- jumping their employees to $15/hr and making it a "no tip" establishment.  Same exact principle.

Now that Colorado has enacted a significantly higher minimum wage, perhaps the normal tip% should be coming down here too.  I saw a number of menu price increases after that law took effect here on January 1.


I could NOT be more angry and pissed-off with Canada's official Tory opposition on the eve of very important and sensitive NAFTA renegotiations for Canada with the US, for its reckless and irresponsible "bashing" of the Canadian government in the US media, for settling a $20 million dollar lawsuit for $10.5 million dollars, that by my reckoning, ONLY happened at all because a former Tory Canadian government deliberately chose to violate the legal Canadian citizenship rights of one Omar Khadr!!!!


HE built me...that is enough


Still waiting for the bubble to burst, as every so-called expert has been predicting each year since about 2000.


If an income tax is implemented then the PFD becomes welfare. Plain and simple.


2 down, 1 to go.  I guess those SHOPO t-shirts neva help much, eh?


The way I see it, the white man should be thanking the Alaska Natives for the rich bounty of natural resources they so freely enjoy.  Alaska wouldn't have been successful against Soviet rule without the Alaska Native villages defending American interest and serving in the armed forces in the Arctic.  I haven't forgot the ongoing tragedies of imperialism around the world.   Don't forget the Indigenous guides and whalers that provided the backbone of the young Americans fighting against the British imperialist in what is called the American Revolution.  When the British controlled the Atlantic whaling fleets of oil, colonial dependency on the Pacific and Arctic whaling fleets helped the American colonies overcome the embargo and seized whaling ships in the Atlantic.  Honor Native Americans for there is no America without their ongoing presence.  There is no such thing as white supremacy anyway.  Hitler tried and failed.


"A good portion of this skepticism is based on a myth – that advisers are a mob of unscrupulous salespeople who charge too much, and engage in obvious conflicts of interest by receiving commissions for pushing clients into expensive investments they don’t need."

The only part of that description that is mythical is the unscrupulous salespeople part.  I agree that the majority of sales people are decent and honest people with no intention of harming clients.

The majority of sales people are trained to sell proprietary investment product rather than to provide client specific advice - i.e. your typical sales person has a controlled inventory of investment product to sell with considerably higher fees than alternative but comparable investment options.  In many or even most cases the sales person really doesn't even understand the fee structure much less whether it is expensive.  Odds are the salesperson was convinced to buy the same product by the firm to perpetuate the "myth".


I gave you an "agree" emoji...because there was really nothing to add to your statement!

I feel the same way about the silly things though...maybe just an "agree" and "disagree" icon would be sufficient.  The rest are unnecessary, and are used for varying degrees of sarcasm and bullying.

As far as the "slash-and-run" insults?  Your remarks are spot-on.  Thank you for voicing so succinctly what I think!


The armchair ex-spurts are out in force tonight.


I love instant experts. First Ladies live on. Blogs are just some electrons in one form today and gone tomorrow. Deal with your own shortcomings before making up pseudo history Professor.


Those who deny science, logic, and reason in defense of a made-up victim group is beyond evil.  A person with a bona fide mental disorder such as sexual dysmorphia and gender identity disorder can believe they are the incorrect sex as much as they want-- that doesn't mean you get to dictate to anyone that they should go along with their specious belief.

What never occurs to people like Elvi Gray-Jackson or to you is that you don't represent the transgender "community."  You never have- and you never will.  In fact- Dr. Jordan Peterson, a Canadian at the forefront of Leftist Canadian government coercion to force people into not saying incorrect genders, has received many letters from those with the disorder, who say they don't want attention, and that they don't want the "bathroom issue" being brought up at all.

Donna Brazile will be seen as the hero and her complicity in the Clinton Takeover will be ignored.

She is being vetted as the Patron Saint of Political Bravery in the First Church of Intersectionality.  It remains to be seen who her competitors will be.


Well J.T.'s Puppet Master Gerald Butts was advisor to the McGuinty/Wynne crowd who have reduced Ontario to the most indebted sub-sovereign jurisdiction in the world., so it's no surprise.


M,
As much as I love Pope Francis I have to admit that you make an important point in your post.
Unfortunately, the case may be that the church structure just may be the problem. Please recall that all bishops are considered to be brother bishops and thus are equals. Pope Francis is the Bishop of Rome thus also one bishop among many. I'm thinking that is why he cannot simply order all of the other bishops to do as he says. Francis must do his teaching in an artful and Catholic way.
My dear friend, a Catholic bishop once said that many in his diocese were against abortion. So I said isn't that what you want and a good thing. He said" yes, but. The but was because they were against abortion for some very wrong reasons like racial hatred, hatred towards the poor and just plain hatred. He pointed out that it was up to him to stop their hatred and TEACH them the real reasons why they should be against abortion. The Christ-like way to be against abortion. Many said he was soft on abortion."


Another yuge naive mistake by Comrade tRump. There is an old saying he should heed: Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

What the ban will do is send news organizations to other sources within the administration and within the government. Eventually they will be reporting more substantial stories that will not only reveal what is truly happening in the White House, but will really piss Trump off. Not only that, but those ousted media can now report all the rumor and innuendo they want and the administration has no leverage to fight back.

There’s another old saying that is also still true: Never get in a fight with a guy who buys ink by the barrel.


Depends on who is calling the game. And a good rep doesn't hurt either.


I have bled blue my entire life. Born that way. As for the Raptors, anyone who spends just 5 minutes watching DeRozan, Lowry and team do their magic will be hooked. Perhaps these marketers help sell some tshirts, but it is what happens on the ice and the court that builds passionate fans.


What a relief!--a moment of humor - and truth.  Thank you Mr. McDaniel.

Many Americans weren't prepared for Donald Trump, and now are in a state of shock and disbelief--not knowing how to confront this disaster.
Our system of government was set up to promote debate and power sharing--that's why we have 3 branches of government and Congress has two chambers.  These were to provide checks and balances that would prevent any one person or group from dominating.  This system has never faced such a crisis--but it's been slowly developing for decades.  We had gone on automatic cruise control and suddenly our car has broken down.  Let me not analyze what happened and why right now--but let's remember that each one of us has a bit of power and together we can find the way, that God has solutions if we're willing to face this as a spiritual challenge and are willing to grow.  And that front-line humor is the first thing that keeps soldiers alive and going.


In 2017 hopefully we can all learn to ignore trolls so they all just disappear into their irrelevant, angry, meaningless lives.  No need to repeat 2016.


Golfing back at Mar-a-Logo eh?  (basically Spanish for sea of lakes, or "swamp").


MMack.  "Fatima Ahmad, a McGill University student who wears a niqab and hopes to become a teacher. In Ms. Ahmad's sworn statement, she says the law has already had repercussions on her life."  So this would be the case u talked about.


He specifically stated "Measure 97 is a sales tax on all of us veiled as a gross receipts sales tax on large corporations, including power companies."

In the interest of full disclosure, I feel compelled to ask if you are a public employee?


Google, Facebook, Netflix.  All not paying Canadian Taxes.

Stop coming after me for more taxes. Go after these US companies.


There's already more than enough there to run Dolt 45 out of office and then arrest him.  If the Republicans weren't so craven and settled on taking away health care from millions of Americans in order to give a tax cut to the wealthy he would be gone already.


Yeah, it kinda was.  I don't need to read that particular bit of history.  I remember.


I'm sure Mr. Mellerstig has similar sentiments about his child. Thank goodness the child was not injured, mutilated, or killed. Dogs are not equal to children. If you think so, I have no frame of reference to deal with you. You are out of your mind.


And what of this so-called loophole when Harper's Cabinet was in place?

And no, we don't follow the new media rule of total innuendo in substitute for facts.


Modern women are in denial of their own sexuality and hormonal state: In times gone by a little harassment and flirting was a sign that the chemistry was AOK.


There you go, making assumptions and accusing others of being Pharisees.


You only say that because you disapprove of anti-miscegenation laws. Those laws were pushed by people who believed that "race mixing" was forbidden by God, and would quote the Bible in support of their views.


But in many respects, Tridentinus, UK is practically the 51st state (but more like Oregon with its unaffiliated majority).


Good. Put it in the Criminal Code. Airlines should have to pay the entirety of a bumped passenger's expenses, including rebooking holidays when they miss one or more days and any business losses incurred. This has been going on too long and it has to stop which will mean making it cost airlines big bucks to mess peoples' lives up, let alone cause them to be assaulted!


Very good response to Marianne.


Joni Kamiya, Even with the reduced dosage you apparently still refuse the drink-off challenge.  You originally said chlorpyrifos wasn't very toxic in comparison to other substances, but now you're refusing to show by your actions that you actually believe what you said.


So that's your plan? Well...what is one to do?  We'll all collectively run it up the flagpole, so to speak and see what happens...I guess.  But Jesus isn't our President.  Donald J. Trump is.  For the next 7 yrs.


I wasn't implying anything about how you many interpret scripture, but that  Pope Francis and the majority of bishops do invoke Matt 25's  "welcome the stranger" as Jesus' endorsement of open borders.

One can invoke tradition as the most reliable indicator of correct Catholic social teaching.   But history tells me that  tradition doesn't trump reason and conscience.

An example:  Catholic bishops in the South never admonished the Confederacy for its stance on slavery, and even after the Civil war,  some churches had segregated schools and pews.   My conscience and reason tell me this was an error; yet the Catholic social teachings of those times said it was just.    What would Catholic leaders of those days have said about their fidelity and interpretation of Catholic tradition?  No doubt they'd have been sanguine they were in the right.

By the same token, I feel that Francis and the bishops are not entirely correct, not absolutely right, in views about immigration.


You certainly have it correctly, bycatch.  I'll repeat it for emphasis... " an amoral obligation to stick to the contract."    Mr. Gottstein states that he is in awe of the blatant disregard of the law.   Could it be they (the legislature) are so blinded by their sense of being royals that they don't see such minor details as are found in the law?


Didn't Billary lose more electoral votes that Trump? Just say'n


LOL, they lost by 13, all their receivers left the game hurt, missed chip shot field goal...a lot of blame to spread around.


Forget your local hire comments. Even the governor doesn't believe in that otherwise why is he having the engineering work for his LNG project being done down in CA? The oil companies already hire locally when the workforce can supply the people because it makes sense and it's cheaper. And many of us are now unemployed, or have already left the state in search of work. And the environmental regulations here in AK are very strict, and that's good. The environment for oil exploration and production here in AK has gotten very toxic.


I wonder how 'Basic Income' differs from Welfare.

I suspect that if 'Basic Income' ever gets rolled out generally, it will end up looking remarkably like Welfare does now.  I don't see how our society could afford anything else.


"Hopefully" someone is defying democracy and the law?  Really?  You're comfortable with the idea of unelected bureaucrats appropriating the power of life and death to themselves with no colour of right?

That's deranged.

No. It carries on to find the truth--something of which Trump is afraid.


The drug she was using wasn't added to the banned list until 2016.

If true, the PM is on the right track.  I wish he would also discontinue our participation in US led provocative training exercises.  How would our jingoists react if, say Russia, conducted so-called training exercise on our boarder.


As long as the rules are strictly enforced I don't have a problem with it. Some people think that prohibiting legal weapons will somehow make all the illegal ones go away. If you're going to carry know how to use it & know the law.


"White Monopoly Capital" is merely a PR company's catch phrase whereas as "Zupta corruption and capture" is real.


Sometimes (and perhaps most times), the largest benefits of immigration are those due to the second generation (i.e., the children and grandchildren of the original immigrants). I taught for many years and noticed that the most ambitious, hardest working and most engaged students were often the children of immigrants. They often told me of their parents' struggles to be accepted and to have their skills recognized (many of them had degrees in engineering, medicine, pharmacy, etc., but were too busy simply making enough money at low-skill jobs to take the time it would have taken to upgrade their skills). They always had a sense of owing it to their parents to become successful, and they worked hard at it and many of them are now contributing greatly to this country.


Write  the parents a ticket for contributing to truancy.

What the????  Taylors.  That place is trouble and should be off limits to Uof O athletes.  Who owns that place anyway??  This all started IN THE BAR!!!  Based on this and recent news of a bartender ruffying drinks, it's obviously not being well managed.  Making declaratory statements and personnel changes after the fact?? Shut it down if they don't get it together and provide the kind of environment that protects college students from themselves.  Obviously, Heard is one that evidently can't manage himself.


Hmm. I'm a 64-year-old white man, fairly middle-class in appearance. I walk downtown all the time, between the library and the Metro theater and all the streets around and in between. There are loads of people sitting around the streets, yes. I wish they weren't doing that, but it's a free country etc. Yet I've never been "harassed" by any of these people. Generally they tend to themselves and their compatriots. I hardly even get asked for "spare change" much, certainly no more than on the streets of much bigger cities.


God. Democrats are sick, sick people! Why would this pass along party lines? It should have been UNANIMOUS!


People on these boards simply do not realize how large the gap politically there is between Canada and the USA.  There is simply no overlap

As the mayor of Calgary has said a conservative in Canada is a liberal in the USA

These cabinet selections are an example of this. While Canada has far too much government the USA has far too little.

While having people who have no government experience can be an advantage, an entire cabinet without it is bad. And the few who are from the 'government' come from its command and control branch -the military. (I guess they impressed Trump as 'get it done' guys).

I believe it was the freakeconomcs guys who pointed out the 3 or 4 US presidents who where pure businessmen where all considered among the worst presidents

I guess the USA will also find out if this is true for cabinet secretaries


Cupich has treated pro-lifers like lepers in three dioceses. Pfleger has ridiculed them from the pulpit. (Not literally from the pulpit, because he preaches while dancing around the altar.) In other words, Cupich and Pfleger have no actual objection to mass killing.

Cupich has declared canon 915 to be a nullity, despite the fact that each and every time a cleric chooses to ignore canon 915, it is grave matter.

This p.r. stunt will make lots of money evaporate, and then be heard of no more.


Please stop with the 'this republican' crap. the deficit is the result of many decades of hot check writing by the state government and both parties share equally in the blame.


we have a problem with governments in a business that they should not be in, something that is not in any way a necessity of life, marking up products so much more than the private sector would to pay gov employees and thier unions more than most make, yes i have a problem with this 100%,, it is not the governments job to hire as much and pay as much as they can,, its to manage and deliver essential services as cost efficiently as possible.

I corroborate the plea to wear your life jacket at all times while in the boat. Without going into details, I performed a very sudden, foolish act two years ago that caused our canoe to capsize. I'm certain that whatever flotation my wife's life jacket provided saved her life and allowed me to carry her to safety. Without it, I'm not confident I could have kept myself afloat and brought her to safety too. Please ... wear your life jackets. It's not a sissy thing to do. It's a lifesaving thing to do.

Khan has said that terrorism is just life in the big city. Also, the religion of peace is celebrating this fire even though many of the victims were Muslims.

If you stop them from speaking, yes you are stripping their rights away from them.  Offensive speech is the most protected speech.   If you just protect the speech  you agree with, you have protected nothing.  Yes, they do deserve respect.  You can take the opposing view and still grant respect to the individual.  I think you and I have had a respectful conversation.    If you lower a person or a group, you also lower yourself.
As far the ACLU, that statement of theirs is not go 100%.   There are many times that they have been on the wrong side of issues and groups that they should have been supporting.   There are nicknames for them that conservatives have.  Most are not very respectful.


"Paraphrasing" legal terms to what you think they mean rather than what they actually do mean results in misinformation.

Look up "Intentionally" under ORS 161.085 and you will see that there is a vast difference between the two terms.  And that there is another term called "Gross Negligence" in between those two definitions.

I hope the partisan people out there really think about what is best in regards to medical care.  Obamacare does nothing to control medical costs.  This is not sustainable.  The reduction in numbers of uninsured is largely a result of the expansion of medicaid according to a number of media stories I have read.  This has lead to the massive budget shortfall in Oregon predicted.  Unsustainable.  What is the best way forward?  Leave out the partisanship and examine the best path.

I have lived all over the world San Francisco ,Oregon , Washington, Mexico City, China traveled all over Europe and currently live in Alaska. I did not graduate from an Ivy league school I did not graduate from college. But I had a desire to see the world and meet people from different cultures and listen and learn from people. My view has always been Democrats seem to have zero tolerance for other peoples thoughts. And that is what sunk this election for the democrats inability to think past themselves. Yes a lot of democrats are very educated but lack of tolerance from opposings views brings on a feeling like you might be a bit better than the little guy. The little guy keeps this country moving and they we became tired of a party looking down your noses at the hard working American. Say what you want but Donald Trump was listening and heard all the people you have put out work . So in the words of Obama I won deal with it!


Airbnb hosts vet their guests way better than a hotel.  I have seen more shady activity happening in the kind of long term rentals that people think b and b s take away from.  It is hard for me to imagine that type being rented to by the ones doing b and b s.  Hey, last month someone booked a room packing guns and ammuntion.  Then shot into the crowd.  I know a b and b operation.  No way would that person be allowed to stay if they unpacked an AR15 and cans of ammo from the trunk of their car.


'Can', 'should', 'clean safe nuclear' ... that all requires liability ceilings so that Joe Taxpayer can foot the bill and suffer the consequences WHEN nuclear goes BONK!!!


How much does North Korea have to do to prove to Mr Lind that no, it hasn't been American foreign policy that created the most recent nuclear threats to our state.  I guess it's going to take a nuclear warhead just 10 minutes inbound on a ballistic trajectory onto Oahu to convince him that his 1960's flower-child view of the world just doesn't protect our islands in the 21st century.   I guess all those concessions and millions of dollars of aid we funneled into North Korea since the 1990s wasn't enough to prove to Mr Lind America is trying to relieve tensions on the Korean pensisula--for South Korea's sake if none other.  I guess our withdrawal of American forces in Korea to a secondary, reserve force, allowing Koreans to defend their own pensiula, wasn't enough to convince our cumbaiyah-signing journalist we're serious about changing our status on the peninsula.  No, when you're lost in the hippy mind set of the 60's, America is always the enemy,


You do not know any cops. That is obvious from your "view point".


My neighbors behind me shoot off  the ILLEGAL, Big Boomer stuff every year.   And every year me and 8-10 of my good neighbors call  the Illegal Fireworks Hotline number, and every year NO response from the Police.  Last year the Police  recommended  calling  in months ahead of time with addresses that violated in the past .  OK, did that.  Same outcome, NO response from the Police.  So, this year I am going to take matters into my own hands.  Just like the loggers who moved the  Cascadia Tree Huggers car blockade from the road leading to the timber sale several  days ago.  I will Grab the Bull by the Horns.  I am going to post a notice  to my neighbor who is shooting ILLEGAL stuff, post it  on their fence.  Of course I will have to remain anonymous.  The notice will tell them that  surrounding neighbors have purchased some of the Indian Reservation ILLEGAL BIG BOOMER stuff.  After you are done firing around1230-130am, we will be FIRING some right over YOUR house.    We will fire (cont.


I hope the Medal of Honor wasn't too munch to handle for his little hands ROTFL!! If they told me I was getting the MoH I would have said wait "no no no." But at 71 it's long overdue. You all know we have MoH recipients not made public with some more than 1 MoH and still alive. Look at Edward Byers when he was on the Colbert show. He was wearing the MoH and MoH ribbon. I haven't read the regs recently but a few years ago that would mean you have two Medal of Honors.


"Sir Joshua-James Kristall- Wagner..."  What a ridiculous name!  HAHAHAHA!!!  And you can't "save" parking spaces like that.  No car, no park.


You know, to steal something one must deprive the rightful owner of its use.  Writing from the vantage point of someone from different cultures/sub-cultures or expressing views with respect to different cultures does not deprive members of such cultures/sub-cultures from expressing their own views.  In any event, the sad reality is that such "appropriation" has also been beneficial to the cultures appropriated.  Non-aboriginal writers writing with an aboriginal voice have made many aware of the systemic abuses against aboriginals.  Just as white musicians--by "appropriating" the music of  the black community--brought attention to that community and were instrumental in ensuring that black musicians were recognized and honoured.  One could argue that it is lamentable that such "appropriation" was required in the first place, but the unfortunate reality is that it was, and that it did have a positive effect on recognition of the cultures appropriated.


So, if some gorgeous dictator with mesmerizing eyes and a virile mustache comes along and promises his followers specifically nothing much but they can be part of the master race, you're going to fall for him?


Another white collar crime that rewards a select few. Why do politicians support a system that does not hold people accountable for criminal actions and results?

OxyContin had a long shelf life after it was launched by deception. "With questions mounting in Canada about OxyContin’s role in the opioid crisis, Purdue pulled the drug from the market in 2012, just a few months before the patent was to expire. Purdue attempted to paint the problem as one of abuse, saying people were intentionally using the pills to get high."


If you are talking about an economy that is driven by debt to fund it's overconsumption while lining the pockets of our financial institutions... maybe.   But that doesn't have to be what defines capitalism either.

Maybe you should tell me what YOU mean when you think of capitalism.

I have my family take one breath a minute. We also carpool on a scooter like over in Asia. We got a family of 5 on one scooter. Kind of chilly in our frigid winters but whatever we can do to quell the toxic carbon dioxide. Next year we will demolish our house and live completely off grid in our backyard in the middle of the city. Until of course we get told that’s not only child abuse but a zoning issue as well. What have you done Dante? Sadly though through all this I’m sure the climate will still change. If only there was more we could do.

I purchased the redesigned 2016 MX 5 and I call it a "Baby Vet" at 50% of the cost and just as fun to drive. The only drawback is the small trunk. Can't even place my golf clubs in it. The 4 banger in it provides  very impressive  power and is more than you need (hint- I'm not 20 something but a more a mature age).  I may even consider trading it in for the RF.


Personally attacking a legislator by harassing him and his family at their home didn't work out well for the Democrats campaigning against Wisconsin's governor, Scott Walker, and the result will be the same with the thuggish tactics used against Representative Jim Walsh.  If people disagree with proposed legislation, let them debate it openly and civilly.  The Brown Shirt tactic of attempted intimidation should be left to anti-democratic Third World tyrants and their ilk . . .they have no place in America.  Given the sorry state of todays schools and colleges, it is perhaps not surprising to see this kind of anti-democratic behavior rear its ugly head.


Does anyone believe James "Not Wittingly" Clapper?


Why are your unkind comments the topic of all these comments! It sounds like pure hate, not a discussion of facts or even opinions that seem to make any sense. Maybe the comment should be about the article instead of, "change the subject", and say hateful things! Why act like KellyAnne.


Not a defense of these guys at all, but have you noticed that Denver Post LOVES running mugshots of white criminals on their front page, when white criminals are in fact the minority?

It's like they're trying to create this idea that spooky white supremacists are out to get you at every turn, when the data doesn't support that at all.

When there actually WAS a gang attacking people in Denver based on race, it was swept under the rug by both the DP and the City of Denver.

It's just funny.


If the powers that be could actually sit, discuss, and fix that would be great but generations of time and and an unwillingness to compromise suggest otherwise.  With that said, unless the OIA is truly willing to do whats in the best interest of the student athletes they will always be the biggest stake holder because of the sheer numbers hence the bully in the sand box.  Maybe each league should only have one vote - with five votes there will never be a tie.

Sounds like a selection committee should select.  I suppose no selection committee will ever get it right for everyone's taste, hence the same issue and conflict all over again.  It could be as simple as league champions only, but for the parents of the "everyone gets a trophy" generation, even that won't be good enough.  At the end of the day I say let only league champions play for a crown.  Like in the college game, other inconsequential "bowl games" could be played for exposure, etc.

La Presse/ Montréal le 29 octobre 2016;
(Québec Prime Minister) Philippe Couillard, will accompany Sunday, in Brussels, its federal counterpart Justin Trudeau for the signing of the free trade agreement (CETA) between Canada and the European Union. The Prime Minister Couillard reminds that Québec has been the INITIATOR of this agreement, and that the Government was committed for two years to promote on all forums with European partners.

Got it Anglo Canada ?
“Québec is the “INITIATOR” of this agreement”
Cheers to Québec (again!)


C.S.  let me respond with my post responding to LenG: "

LenG: May I offer agreement. None of our Constitutional rights are "absolute." The limitations on the First Amendment are the clearest example. As you suggest, limitations on the lethality of firearms could easily be enacted. However, it's important to recognize that the firearms industry/NRA lobbying power continues to block any such efforts at the national level. Any congressperson "bucking" the NRA had better represent an extremely "safe" District or he/she will face an extremely well-financed opponent the next election. An unkind, rather harsh person might suggest that some folks prioritize profits over public safety......my regards, Gary Crum"

I'd love to read any defense of 100 round magazines or armor-piercing "cop killer" bullets being sold to the public.  IMO, the strong possible arguments for limitations on any Constitutional Rights are founded on reasonable concern for the public safety.  Is that unreasonable?  GCrum


It's good to read a balanced report of this issue. Compared to many international media outlets the G&M refrains from this hysterical yellow journalism that is the rage at many newspapers since trump won the election.

The guy might be full of hyperbole, an egomaniac and a buffoon, but he's not stupid; nor is he the right wing monster those media make him out to be. Impeach Trump and we get Pence - the end of social security and the final nail in the New Deal.


You certainly are & judging from the number of posts you proliferate, you want the world to know it!


Unfortunately, as I witnessed HART go to the Legislature last year, the truth about rail was not discussed.  The legislators did not ask enough tough questions about rail.  They all assumed the extension would go through and sat there silently.  Only the leaders in the money committees asked a few questions.  When HART lied to them, they did not have enough information to know they were being lied to.  They are busy people and are not up-to-date on rail.  Or they are "True Believers" and only want rail at any cost.  We need CB to ask tough questions - now.  Which tax will be raised to pay the annual operating costs?  What is plan "B" if the ridership is lower than projected?  How will the transit commuters get to work when rail is down for maintenance? If the community demands more security on the platforms, where will the money come from?  Why do our tax payments pay for misinformation on the HART website?  What does improved "Quality of Life" mean?


Were the nurses discussing the vaccination of nurses /
 ................ or the vaccination of kids ?

There is a huge difference.
Nurses are expected to get vaccinations for everything.


" I had a checkered youth; mandatory Bible study for years in several denominations."

"Mandatory Bible study" is unfortunate, as coercion often turns off the very minds they are trying to reach.  I know, Motley, as  I lost many  of my own religious beliefs attending a professed Christian university with required Chapel and Bible classes, more rules than love and more sanctimoniousness than sacredness.  It took years to recover my equilibrium.


It is nice of her. Although I'm sure almost every woman wishes she could marry a multi millionaire with a huge custom home so they could not ever have to work and do things here & there for charity.

Aren't the salmon supposed to be able to 'smell' whatever stream they were hatched in?


Anyone else notice how his staff and supporters look like corpses?  Initially i thought they looked reptilian, but the smell of death seems to follow in their wake.


"... isn't that indicative of a better teacher?"

Funny how when students fail it's not the teachers fault but rather it is genetics, poverty, hunger or lack of school funding.  However when students excel it's always the teachers taking a bow and wanting accolades.
.
For the majority of "teachers" student are merely a means to an end.


A 14 year old black boy was shot dead by 2 policemen w/in 6 secs of their arrival at this child's park where he was playing w/his little sister.   They never called for ER. and they kept his younger sister in the cop car as her brother died.

A call had come into 911 stating that a black MAN was waving a gun around in the neighborhood park.

I just thought I'd mention a real tragedy.


Because AI is simply not there yet, a lot of investors' money is actually going into Mechanical Turk outsourcing piecework , Toronto could create more jobs with a Crowdsourcing Institute than an AI institute. Any AI investor should check that 'talking pig' and look under the hood.


It gets worse. Not only did trump arrange to have rare supporters in Poland bused to his speech, but one of them actually had a large confederate flag.

A few years back, I was doing a lot survey in Fairbanks in an older part of town.  Adjacent to the property that I was working on there was a classic Alaska Quonset Hut;  The middle of the hut was partially collapsed, down a couple of feet, there were at least 6 coats of paint that had mostly weathered off, the plank walk was half buried in  mud and weeds, the windows were broken out and boarded up, and in front of it all was a  sign proclaiming "JUST THINK, IF YOU LIVED HERE YOU WOULD BE HOME BY NOW" from a local real estate broker.  There was some certain perfection about it.


I can't believe some posters who are alright with Trudeau the younger being PM, are suggesting that an offspring of Mulroney would be unacceptable as an elected official simply because of who their father is.

There is simply no comparison academically, or intellectually, how every i will give Trudeau the edge when it comes to all the warm and fuzzies as it relates to new media smarts (tweets, and selfies)

The chutzpah is simply breathtaking...


Hopefully, when Parliament reconvenes, the Ottawa media will shake it lethargy about reporting on Mr. Scheer which has been so obvious during the summer, and treat him with the fairness, if not the adulation, they reserve fror Mr. Trudeau!


Maybe he'll talk to GM and ask them why they put profits before safety, then ask them how many of their atrocious killer Cobalts they've actually fixed.


It very alarming on how narrowly journos view and try to push Cyril faction as having a chance! In reality Cyril's faction was humiliated and walked away with no policy discussion in their favor, this white monopoly which seemingly he won was subject of his backers humiliation in the plenary which led to Gwede apologizing and amended the resolution to read as that although the ANC does not believe that monopoly capital is limited to white people, in South Africa it has a racial character which cannot be ignored or denied. Racial character we cant ignore is white, in a nutshell we extend the scope of monopoly to include all but will primarily focus on white so we will still reflect to its racial connotation. Cyril lost every single policy discussion and that the bottom-line.


Most doctors are Republican. What's your point again?


"There is also a noted gender bias: Mothers are more often charged than fathers, and among the convicted, women caregivers receive longer prison sentences than men, the study found."
*
I am not sure what study the author is referring to.  They reference the Kids and Cars organization so one possibility is:
http://www.kidsandcars.org/files/2014/08/2006-heat-crime-and-parenthood.pdf
*
From my reading of the article the major bias is between prosecution of third parties and the parents.
Better reporting would have included this.
*
The reported conviction rate for mother's was 92% versus 90% for men.
68% of the women got jail time and 55% of the men.
As for the jail time discrepancy, the reporter's jump-to-conclusions is gender bias.  Another possibility is that the mother's crime was often worse.


The Donkey Party is in bed with Wall Street.


This is paternalistic rubbish, not thoughtful journalism.
Suggesting consumers be forced to pay for things they don't want to watch.  Who is Ms. Taylor shilling for?  The broadcasters in this country are vertically integrated publicly traded entities and they are doing just fine.
If Cancon went away, but they could still collect their subsidies, Mr. Blais would quickly become their BFF. This is not about creativity and nurturing some idea of a national identity - it is about protecting profit.


Troops of the Warsaw Pact would have loved a deployment to the Mexico US border...Bulgarian, Czechoslovak, East German, Hungarian, Polish and Romanian troops would have deserted to the USA in their thousands....not to mention members of the prisoner nations within the USSR, Latvians, Lithuanians, Estonians, Byelorussians , Ukrainians, Georgians, Armenians and Russians themselves would have taken the opportunity to go for freedom .

As it is, of the ex Warsaw Pact countries many have become members of NATO...the Czechs, Hungary, Poland , Bulgaria and the Baltic nations.


Men like Pell are needed less and less in the world and ought to be needed less, less, and less in the Church.

If it's true that the state seized bank accounts, vehicles, real estate, and $200,000 in cash, he will definitely have paid for his crimes, maybe even disproportionate to the harm.  Ouch.


The government employees, politicians, union members, OAS and CPP recipients all depend on the stock market returns ....increasing capital gain taxation will drive TSX down and ensure the early demise of pension fund liquidity. The bottom half of Canadians will suffer the most . Ontario is an excellent example of this.


Ohhh hahahahahahahaha!!!!


Golly, aren't you the bright spark? Of course they're not neutral bystanders. They're 100% on Donald Trump Jr.'s side.

I ask again, how can it be proven that Trump Jr. made some offer on behalf of his father? How can anything be proven about the meeting, short of it being under surveillance by the police? Of the five people present, three were Trump associates. The Russian isn't talking, nor does she have to. Neither does the "publicist," who would probably gnaw his own arm off rather than make trouble for the presidents of the USA and Russia.

It's a dead end. It may have been exactly what DT Jr. said it was, and no one can prove otherwise.


The obvious reason that CIBC"s stock price is stunted compared to to others of the big five is based on its past poor performance during the great recession. They purchased 10 billion in subprime mortgages      at exactly the wrong time that I think went to zero in short order. The level of trust has not yet returned.
 What I find interesting is that the most Canadian bank CIBC makes the highest return due to the big five  monopoly in in this country, while the most American bank TD has returns similar to the lower profits found south of the border.
 I'm sure a case could be made not to expand into the States unless you can get a great asset at a good price.


The Dixie Chicks song "Goodbye Earl" comes to mind, so there are women who would agree with you.


Minimum wage is just a shiny object governments wave around to convince some people they've discovered a magic bullet to solve everyone's problems and it was only a minimum wage increase all along. All actions have consequences, if people think the status quo will continue except a bunch of people have more money, then they flat out don't understand what they're doing and shouldn't be making decisions about anything. You're going to see a rise in youth unemployment, a rise in senior unemployment, a reduction in full time employment, a rise in part time employment with no benefits and an accelerated use of automation for low skill tasks. And that's just the obvious things. But hey, as long as the general job number doesn't decline and the public sector picks up the slack, you'll win your $500 bet. Ever stopped to think why no government has thought to just make the minimum wage $50/hr? Then we'd all be rich right? Nobody would lose their job your studies say so.


Balderdash.


The standard view of the universe explains why you can't see the southern cross from the northern hemisphere, explains why when I fly to New York from California I lose three hours, explains why watching a live show from China it's night time, but day here, it explains the eclipse were going to have this Aug in N America. It explains all that without having to squint and talk about shimmering in photos, it works without having to cliam NASA is a huge conspiracy with thousands of people lying, for no apparent reason. It works when you fly around the globe on a commercial flight.  It works when you flying to the sunset, and the sun sets slower. It works when you fly away from the sunset and it sets faster. It explains why we've never seen a photograph of the edge of the earth. It works to explain the seasons. It works to explain what happens when I go to Alaska on the summer or winter solstice. It does all this without having to squint and look for shimmering on the horizon.


I think the Whidbey Record beat him there.


All this is provides further support for provisional paper registration, paper poll books, and paper ballots.
When I volunteered to support an election many years ago in the basement of the capital building, there were rooms full of people who did nothing more than audit and recount precinct ballots.
Yes, it would be more expensive, but I believe the ability to double check election results with physical ballots is the best way to preclude any unauthorized tampering of the election process.


Our disagreement may hinge on semantics; specifically the difference between doing something "unwise" and the inherent responsibility one may or should take for doing so, and "fault", or the responsibility one takes or is assigned for one's actions.
In the case of the victim there may be some responsibility involved. In the case of the perpetrator there is always full responsibility.
All that having been said, it appears as though we do agree to some extent. Is my perception correct?


No one wants to become a hideout for criminals. I don't think that this proposal is about anything of the kind. There's a big difference between living in a safe and civil society, and turning a blind eye to the evils that can occur in an authoritarian regime. Trump and his supporters seem eager in many instances to walk all over the Constitution and the first amendment with no regard for decency and human dignity, and the Congress is allowing this, and many instances colluding in this. Nazi Germany had plenty of law and order, but no compassion. We must be better than that.

Correction:  "THIRD world" airport.


The Hawaii Dems challenge is weak.  If they're a party of such great policies that help the working/middle class, it would welcome all challengers and have no fear of upstart contenders taking votes.


So Trump is critical of an agency that helped lie us into the Iraq War, committed a campaign or war crimes and human rights abuses, whose officials have perjured themselves during Congressional hearings, and who were ultimately caught violating US law by spying on members of Congress . . . and we're supposed to rally to the CIA's side?


You are gutless!!  I din't think it's racist one bit!!  I agree with Terry as well.  A Japanese driver winning OUR Indy 500 on OUR memorial day!!  Not very American.  He didn't call him any names nor make any reference to race he just feels that if an American won it would have been a better feel for the day!!  Shame on you liberal lady's


Not that hard - Michael Wilson had it tougher


she is missing something alright, a conscious!


I don't mind you peeing, Brady. I just don't like it when I keep catching you squatting above stream when I'm filling my water bottle.


same Scam Jim Watson pulls in Ottawa.  Your taxes only go up 2% but he moves out lots of other stuff like water, sewer, garbage etc that really are taxes


So you'd prefer them hugging the line on the right shoulder?


Thats because you've been brainwashed for so many years to their propaganda. They LEFT want to keep the money flow going and you want to do the same thing, fraud, deceit, murder is what YOU are  used to.


Ranger at it again! First disparaging education, then neglecting to actually read that only four were at schools.


Yes it is going to get very ugly........ for Rachael Notley and her merry band of wing nuts and kooks


Funny, since Drumpf hasn't shown any respect for Mexico or its people.


Liberals will increase users fees of all types. User fees are a regressive form of taxation. This includes camping fees. But hey, ya know, Junior can't relate to this hiking, camping business. He hob nobs with the Aga Khan on his winter holiday to the tune of $133,000. A completely different league than us working joes


He's the guy, sent that seditious letter to the mullahs in Iran.


... and folks who do you think is more knowledgeable about business law, several longtime CEO's of some of the world's largest companies, or some anonymous commenter prone to faulty premise that lacks the courage to get from behind their nom de plume?


It is upper-class privilege.

Once you have reached that stratum, it is almost impossible to slide back down the social ladder. Your connections will always get you another upper-class job.


As an example, how many large cap US equity funds beat the S&P 500 - especially after fees - over a ten year period?  As the Globe has pointed out on many occasions, in Canada, essentially none. And not much better in the US....

And frankly, not a whole lot of large cap Canadian equity funds beat the TSX over ten years...almost none after fees.


Perhaps relative to T-O, but everyone I know here who lives in a non-stabby neighbourhood is house poor. I think Winnipeg, more than almost any other city in the country, has a vast swath of neighbourhoods you couldn't pay me to live in.

Likewise many of my fellow citizens, because they're not idiots, won't live their either, resulting in depressed housing prices. Which skews the math on median income and house prices. What price a cheap house if you're murdered, mugged or raped while walking from your car?

It used to be affordability kept people here. Not sure what it is now. Familial ties, perhaps? It sure ain't the weather or the abundant opportunities and excellent infrastructure.


The trumpery will cheer and the wealthy who benefit from the cuts, and the corporate interests will laugh at them behind their backs.

They've been played by grifters and con men.

They're being led to slaughter and they want to help in every way they can in the rush to get them there.


Agree. I hope he gets in and changes all of the AS's as well. Clean the swamp in Hawaii's DOE.


An old racist portland urban myth, how charming.


ewwww! not even any soap? and the Health Dept. turns a blind eye?
plus, public rest rooms typically offer only cold water, this is not safe!
now I'm glad I never went there, the crowds make it even worse.


Please expand upon your statement, providing facts as to how those other state's riparian rules are "all better".  Bigger does not mean that they are better.


Good! Now for a speedy trial and bury them under the jail for 20 years!


Imagine that!  Trump is President and the sky has not fallen.


Lusting after an arsenal the size that Paddock has stockpiled is sensible?
Your kind of "sensible" isn't sensible.


The scenerio  Jan 18 2017  Newly minted POTUS Hillary Clinton seized and passed out and was not able to push the red nuclear button when Mexico refused to pay for the wall, Donald Trump would have pushed the button  :  /


Some conservatives like to think of Canada as nothing more than a little USA. Therefore in their minds if it worked in the States it'll work here to. Simplistic at best


Yeah... there's nothing wrong with Weld County.


Most people who point to Jesus have no idea about his character. But, I find that any topic about money often brings the faith-haters to the surface. Churches have nothing to prove to you. They answer to God and God alone. Despite all of this, we love you and continue to pray for you.


Well, there actually is a fix for "stupid". Unfortunately the only fix available for "stupid" isn't legal -- yet. :-)

But I really need to talk to Darwin about that theory of his, apparently the gene-pool-cleaners have been shirking in their duties in ridding the human-gene-pool of all its disasters. I say we remove all guard-rails and warning-labels from everything for a few generations. That should bring things back in balance somewhat.


You missed my point about just barely noticeable or whatever words I used above to indicate non-obviousness.

Imperfections that are just barely noticeable normally aren't yelped to death.  They are tolerated.

The important thing is not to have the "reassertion" of the will noticed by everyone, but known to the self and thus to God.

So get back to the point I made.


Fully agree, Doug, on your central point: it was a terrorist attack whether or not the guy was actually linked to ISIS (who implausibly claims responsibility for all terrorist attacks).

You can create terror without having a political motive. One feminist, Virginia Held, said that domestic violence was terrorism because it created terror. Sounds logical to me.


He has WAY better judgement than crooked Hillary


So, how did the statutory limitations prevent recommending charges against he provider of the bribe, when the same statutory limitations allowed recommending  charges against the recipient of the (alleged) bribe?

This question remains unanswered. Did the RCMP have any outside "help" in getting to this conclusion?


Okay, with your theory, Trump's presidency should be annulled because some voters were driven by "anti-muslim prejudice".


"Firstly, you are still benefiting richly from the livelihoods that were stolen from the Indigenous..."

I am not seeing too many Indigenous folks making efforts today to live like it was 700 years ago, with stone age technology and having a life expectancy of about 30 years, the likely way of meeting one's end to be at the end of a spear or arrow from an enemy tribe, or at the teeth and claws of a wild carnivore, or at the sub-zero temperatures of a food-sparse winter.

I AM SEEING a lot of indigenous people CHOOSE to use computers and watch TV and ride snowmobiles and read and write and drive cars.

So I guess the Indigenous are GUILTY of stealing from themselves, ending their own traditional livelihoods, in their own choices? Look, I am okay with doing them that if that is what they choose, I just want to describe their choices using the phrases you chose in your efforts to toss a guilt trip on the white man...


Single payer cannot arrive soon enough.

Healthcare in the USA is a national disgrace. On one hand, you have millions of  families forced into financial ruin. On the other end of the spectrum, you have CEO's taking 600% annual pay increases while steadily jacking up the prices on cheap, life saving medication. Keep in mind that this medication is developed from money from the tax payer in the first place.

The US healthcare system with for-profit insurance companies involved is the absolute worst manifestation imaginable.


Need one read a sentence further after reading MSW's confession that he thinks a writer gains consolation by writing a piece that 'ignites controversy'?

"There are very few things in this life more gratifying to a columnist than to pen a sentence that ignites a controversy."

Wow.

Read no further.

A Catholic writer who lets his intellect "attach value" to such an end is in need of long term spiritual coaching, and should out of charity suspend his writing work for the division & heat and disunity it causes or contributes to.

Rather, I think a well-formed and properly tempered Catholic writer might gain some consolation from seeing people draw closer to Jesus Christ, amending their lives, increasing their self-gift to others, etc by reading one's work.

Yet an even higher disposition than this would be to have a "pure intention", that is, to produce a work for the principal reason of loving God!

MSW is a long way off from such a more Christian approach to the work of writing


This denial from the same government that told us LHO killed JFK all by himself, and more recently that they did not and still are not listening in on our conversations without a warrant.


Let me strip it down for you and get rid of all the things that you seem to think matter.   "Business A" sells "Product A" $15.  "Business B" sells "Product A" for $75.  Who do you think will succeed?


Not to worry. When Trump is President the problems with NK will be a memory. He has a plan. Hillary Clinton would be a disaster. He's got the best people working on it. It's going to be great. No one else is as smart as he is when it comes to North Korea. North Korea will not take advantage of the system again. It's going to be huge. I've even heard that the beloved supreme leader, Kim Jong Un wasn't even born in North Korea...but we'll let the people of North Korea work that out.


..toeing the party line, fighting for their jobs.


There are multiple reports on this subject.  If you are genuinely interested in reading them Women's Ordination Conference and Call to Action have resources that you can request be sent to you on the subject.


Just cut the salaries of the over paid state and municipal workers, that make 4 times what I make and have to live on, with a family of 4, why should we all pay more taxes to support there lifestyles. If they create an income tax or sales tax, I am leaving Alaska, then the state and municipal workers can fend for themselves.


Not disagreeing but respectfully asking...What white supremacist policies and procedures continue to work in our institutions without restraint?  I am not talking about the people of all colors that don't hire people of a different color.  That happens to all races.  I am not talking about the small percentage of bad cops.  They also affect all races.  What things, specifically, are you speaking of?  "Without restraint" seems pretty exaggerated but I could be wrong.  Would appreciate your opinion.


Glad they didn't get hurt worse. An adult moose doesn't have to try hard to crush puny humans.


Yes, you still follow the norms and dictates of the local bishop or conference, but you don't have to! If a decision of the local bishop conflicts with that of Opus Dei, then Opus Dei takes precedent. That after all is what a personal prelature is all about.
And why does Opus Dei "hide its light under a bushel"? Why don't OD priests put "O.D." after their name?
I am fine with people who want to wear spiky chains and so on, but one area in which Opus Dei oversteps the mark is the requirement that its members go to Confession only to an Opus Dei priest. This implies that OD priests have a special power to forgive sins which other priests do do have.


man trump should run for governor of alaska, he would fit right in lol. he could make alaska great again lol. the sad part is alaskans will vote for trump in the election.


Read more closely.  I never accused you of saying that.  But Bolcon has repeatedly said that for the Church to insist on an all-male priesthood is to hate women.

Know what it is you don't know.  You know nothing of what I know or don't know about Canon Law.  You supposedly teach at the college level, but to begin your discussion with the unsubstantiated, general accusation that "my] background in both [sic] canon law, theology, and the Vatican II documents leaves much to be desired" is amateurish.

FYI:  Canon Law sec. 216 says that "no undertaking is to claim the name Catholic without the consent of competent ecclesiastical authority."  Not only is the AWRCP in violation of this Canon, but so are those who, like Bolcon, encourage and aid and abet them.

Finally, I never agreed that "Roman Catholic Women Priests 'are trained but are not'."  What I agreed to was that women "priests" BELIEVE they are trained but are not.  Get the difference?

Your post gets a D-, prof.


Your not that clairvoyant


30 TO 70 percent? If you are accusing someone of committing crimes, and your data can't get closer than 30 to 70 percent, then ya, it's discriminatory because it is pure opinion without fact. Narrow it down to a 5% spread like 30 to 35% or 70 to 75% and then name names.


Suggesting the UN Security Council is going to solve the issue? Laughable comment from PM Gomer.


You and others here are doing your best to convict Donald Trump of sexual assault via hearsay. When the shoe was on Bill Clinton's foot, the left did all they could to protect him and his hideous wife. So yes, you are well schooled in hypocrisy.

Openly boasting about groping women is a far cry from exploiting the power of the presidency to seduce interns, cover up rape and sexual assault. Allowing men with a psychological disorder to act out their fantasies by entering women's restrooms and insisting it's some sort of social justice issue is simply bizarre.

It appears to me that you have plenty of time to do your own research. Maybe you should broaden your search from Thinkprogess and Huffpo.

Sorry you missed the last one but at least you agree then that Hillary belongs in prison.


Unfortunately for Richard Nixon the people who worked on uncovering his misdeeds weren't compulsive liars.  Fortunately for Obama ...


Ducks terrible on the offensive glass and pretty good on the defensive boards?  That’s a wild imagination.  This is Oregon’s best offensive rebounding team since per possession numbers were tracked in 2002.  The Ducks are currently 22nd in the country in offensive rebounding.  Their downfall, similar to last season, is defensive rebounding (183rd in the country this season).  Much of the defensive rebounding deficiency is likely attributable to all the shots Oregon is attempting to block leaving offensive rebounders free to roam.


The "What's Aleppo" comment was important and noteworthy because we get to hear so little from Gov. Johnson.  He had to make every moment count.  The other candidates have gaffes, but have a lot of other material around it to basically drown it out.  Gov. Johnson had to make the most of every opportunity to shine and he had a pretty major failure instead.


I absolutely agree we as a Church should address the issue of racism in this country, in my native country, and everywhere else. I'm not sure what role removing statues should have in that process, because the racism obviously runs deeper. In some cases, removing statues may do nothing more than create an illusion. In my opinion, if the removal of statues is not accompanied by a systemic effort to uproot racist ideas and attitudes, we won't have accomplished anything. So perhaps the removals should come at the end of a process, as a sort of culmination of a national effort to excise a cancer, and their presence till then should serve as a reminder of what remains to be done.
Will our bishops take the lead in bringing an end to racism? They could....but I too have some dubias.


Like this type of deplorable? http://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/article167755572.html
No doubt you condone the suggestion of assassinating thea President--as long as it's Trump.


Good. It appears that Seneca got away with avoiding restrictions they should have been forced to follow. And it appears, EWEB has hidden the discussions with Seneca about this.
I also heard that Skov was for the incinerator. So I think that is your issue. He is for an incinerator that produces pollution but claims to be for protecting the environment.
So I did some research. It seems Brian Weaver (do you know who he is?) had issues with Skov. In response, supporters of Skov wrote: "Note that forest slash, by law, must be burned in the field, which contributes substantially more air pollution than a biomass facility." Translation: Such forest waste is going to get burned regardless, releasing greenhouse gas emissions and other pollution. So compared to burning and not generating any electricity, burning and also generating electricity, "under the right conditions," makes sense."
So in short, I agree. And Seneca was no worse or maybe better than slash burning. Both are bad..


Agreed.


Yes, after a year-long ATF background check, and $200 tax stamp, on top of paying north of $10000 because all legal machine guns for civilians in the US were made before May 1986, ensuring a dwindling supply to wear and tear, and high prices as supply falls.


You can't be serious.  Self-doubt from any of the far-right wingnuts on this board?


Anybody else disappointed the article wasn't about Dave Shapiro


Finally Chris, I can agree completely with you. Thank you.


Bravo D Demento,

Canadian governmt needs to do right by its citizens.  Every time this govt (all 3 levels) thinks of a solution, it thinks of how to enrich its coffer at the same time, such as tax.

Implement policies such as 1-4 as you suggested or other policies which would not sell this country off to the highest bidders (our shelters, our senior homes,  our security)

 Liberals have no moral standings, they just think about their own coffers, not the voters.
Liberals just voted for the Bombardier increase !


It's quite simple really- she wants the State to control the RB, and the printing of money.

This can only be a Zupta  plan, beautiful in its simplicity. Why even tender, when you control the printing press.

A second plus is the noise that this will create if a court battle ensues and the State loses, as it probably will. WMC vs the People.

They never tell these young girls to keep their legs together. I suppose that would be deemed as "Sexist Male Authoritarian Hate Speech"?


Truth: there are more trees in Oregon because they are planted in corn rows, readied for a catastrophic fire. Truth: it is not in the public's best interest to let the extraction industry manage forests. They manage tree farms and charge the public to recreate on them.


In nature aggressors set the rules. Our Prog-infested-Bolshevist media fits that description.
Trump's an royal a_ _hole BUT he and his family have been attacked, on a daily basis, from every angle --at one point EIGHT, simultaneous, negative articles filled columns on this site.  He hits back with another  tweet and it's 'shocking' and leaves Progs writhing in faux-pain. The laughable part:  A tweet takes only a few minutes of his time after which  presstitutes spend days in the echo chamber.  It's obvious the man understands leverage.  Sorry the snowflakes were triggered and often wonder how's that Russia "thing" is working out?

BTW: The last vestige of White House civility and decorum left on a blue dress twenty-some years ago.

My statement is fact based on the Constitution ad federal law and therefore cannot be refuted and you offered up nothing to refute if that were even possible. Also, I wasn't attempting to refute your opinion, to which you are entitled, but merely making the case, based on the rule of law, that the Paris Accord on Climate Change is invalid as far it concerns the United States. REFUTE THAT!


You raise an interesting point.  Moderate Muslims and even those who have left the religion are silenced by media outlets who could otherwise give them an excellent springboard for much-needed discussion.  Both Maajid Nawaz, founder of Quillam International, and Ayan Hirsi Ali are listed as anti-Muslim extremists by the Southern Poverty Law Centre in the US.  Tarek Fatah is seen as a right-wing extremist. Even if Muslims and ex-Muslims wish to speak out it seems they are silenced in the ever-widening circle of don't ask...don't tell...atmosphere surrounding extremism.  Khan would better serve her religion if she were to unequivocally condemn such acts, with no ifs, ands, or buts.  I think people like Khan are part of the problem, her M103 at the centre of it.   It's not that such  moderate views won't make for interesting press, it simply doesn't seem to fit the current narrative: one that seems to want to force how people think.


Apparently you missed this article: https://www.adn.com/nation-world/2016/11/29/veterans-to-serve-as-human-shields-for-dakota-pipeline-protesters/


What a joke and waste of time and humanity!  The "liberation" of Mosul was declared 5 months ago!...so why are the Iraqi forces still encountering resistance from Isil? Hey USA, you idiots started this mess so, go back and finish what you started so Iraq can get on with it's future!.....so incredibly typical of US foreign policy!


More wonderful work from the Leaf PR department. You can expect something like this to come out after every Leaf loss. And to think, Seigel used to be a respected, objective journalist.

Personally, I'd like to see a story looking back at the efforts of Hyman's father to buy the entire Greater Toronto Hockey League (GTHL) and try to turn it into a profit centre for himself. He was eventually run out of town by angry parents.


HFD has their own issues. You really don't hear much about the inner workings of HFD until something major like this fire happens. Were the Chiefs really guiding the Indians all this time?


Seriously. Stop your whining. You would be fired if you had a real job. So fast your head would spin. Lousy and entitled. Get rid of unions then let's talk.


People should pay from their company.  This way they can get a refund if they make the changes retroactive that corporate donations are illegal.  They get a dinner and seen to support the NDP, all for free!

Why didn't you Libs say that to Obama about BLM?


I don't think that adding more north/south highways to the metropolitan area would fix the problem.  As I said above, the problem is our development pattern.  Having people live ten or more miles away from work, not to mention miles away from the grocery store, the park, the school, has created a transportation burden that can't be solved by adding more roads.


This is the woman who after killing her baby was found having sex in a car. A long list of arrests for drugs and more. She was in no way able to take care of a kid. When she found out she was pregnant she should have gotten a free abortion.


IRT John Toillion: [You say, "It’s obvious she does not agree with the former and current commander-in-chiefs’ positions on military engagement around the world. As the saying goes, “You cannot serve two masters.”

Further, she took an oath when commissioned to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”  ]

Are you saying that one should ignore one's principals to obey the commander-in-chief, to goose-step mindlessly along with him?  Additionally, you are equating defending the constitution with defending trump's actions.  Wake up!  trump is the real enemy of the constitution.


It's an old photo. According to the article she's got a couple of booking photos on file

People are poor or sick entirely due to personal moral failings, in short.

Untrue. Very untrue.


Monica...I could well be wrong....but I think AL did suggest that the Church can work with divorced and remarried folks relative to both the internal forum and sacrament reception, and by extension their Church status.

I am sure the Church supports sacramental marriages and is saddened if that doesn't work out....but in the case of divorce and remarriage, the remarriage/Eucharist reception deal has been addressed in part by AL, the Internal forum and the personal consciences of those concerned.

Francis has said repeatedly that these situations are highly individualized and don't admit of a 'one size fits all' deal.....think you can say that to your folks?


We already have Term Limits it is called The Vote, but remember the majority of Voting Alaskan Voters voted FOR SB21,,,


I have lost all faith in this assembly over the years they say one thing and turn around and do something total different.  This city has seen it assemble and mayors office turn into nothing more than a liberal disaster.

"In the Senate's rejection of a graduated income tax that would affect the state's richest residents more than its poorest, the House found the proposal to just use the Permanent Fund to be mean-spirited to low-income residents, for whom a dividend is a much larger percentage of income". Exactly.


I DON'T know EXACTLY what you meant. That is why I am asking. You're changing the subject.
Do you believe in the principle that if a group tasked with predicting something is inaccurate, that they can't be believed in a new prediction? Seems a pretty simple question.

But it started me thinking about it even more. Obamacare was over 8 years ago. Is this the same CBO that made that prediction? Could they have noted their errors and made adjustments? Just how similar is Obamacare to the new proposal? Wouldn't is make sense that the more similar it is the more likely they will repeat their mistake? Or, maybe not.

You asked: "How accurate was the CBO in scoring the ACA?" The current effort is to dismiss the CBO so as to render the latest proposal immune to their analysis.  They are predicting 24 million will lose their insurance. If the CBO was half right, that still means 12 million lose insurance.

Maybe there is just more to the claim that the CBO is flawed due to past performance.


...cite any Liberal MP using the term “tax cheat” in accordance with the ongoing tax reform conversation?...


my2cents: I totally agree that Civil Comments is frustratingly useless. However, that's no excuse to take out your anger on another commenter. Off-topic is off-topic. That said, it is obvious that serial trolls abound. And this system of us commenters doing the "editing" is clearly not in the job description of most.


There is a trend in modern America to judge people on the basis of what they might have done rather than what they have done.  It is not a positive trend.


Thank you for writing this important article. The large majority of us on the Big Island Support TMT and astronomy. We need more common sense and for our state and county leaders to step up..


GET OVER IT, YOU LOST!


You mean like all this violence going on in America and the President is just lying in bed tweeting nonsense?  See no difference between him and the Presidents he's been criticizing.  Thank God he's for all people to arm themselves with assualt weapons of their choice.  Poor vetting really poor.


Always a bridesmaid; never a bride.  Buying the dress, hat, gloves and shoes is nothing more than wishful thinking.


They might say the US is commemorating the 100th anniversary of disastrous Western intervention in the Russian Revolution by staging a disastrous Western intervention in the Venezuelan Revolution.


Alex,

Deport based on what evidence?  Because he doesn't have an Anglicized last name? Since the article doesn't mention what country Mr. Nejad is a citizen of, I think your comment on deporting is uncalled for.  If he is a US citizen just as I presume you are, then let him serve his sentence and live the remainder of his life thereafter as a free US citizen as allowed by law. However, if Mr. Nejad is not a citizen of the United States, then yes, deport him after he serves his sentence and reimburses the government.

There are many Christians who do not feel superior to, nor believe we have the right to  judge others. To practice bigotry in the name of Christ goes against the loving example of the Christ whose teachings many Christians follow. In short, you do not speak for all Christians.

As for your freedom, you can practice your religious beliefs in your churches, or anywhere you want as long as you do not use your beliefs as a tool to discriminate against others, which is against the law.


Last Patriot, the Bureau of Labor Statistics does indeed publish other forms of the "under employment rate" to reflect not only unemployed but also those able-bodied persons who don't work or are employed in part-time positions for economic reasons. Look up U9 Unemployment Rate in Google and you'll find that for the entire nation on the St. Louis FED website. I'm not sure, however, if this particular statistic is published on the state level.


So you quote the National Review and a youtube site? Who are you working for Toddy? And what is your qualification? I smell oil.

I marked your paper on economics and was only able to give you a C -.

Although you brought out some goods points such as misdirected government spending on R&D and how much is wasted in academia and the need for adding more value to our resources, I had to mark you low as you have been reading some very old books on economics to parrot your answers.

You really must expand your reading list and learn more about sustainable supply chains and the impact of unbalanced trade on national prosperity and the updated view by leading economists on the facts that say free trade is not working for mature economies…

When you have read more updated material please resubmit your paper and I will see if you understand your topic better.

I also recommend you watch some videos on the TRUMP approach and the teachings of economist Ian Fletcher as these will cut across the brainwashed religious fanaticism that has been fed to you poor economic students for 3 decades.

Regards
Professor Citizen


If you read the transcripts of Trump's conversations with the leaders of Mexico and Australia, you have to ask yourself which is worse: the leak or the indisputable fact that the leaked conversations prove, without a doubt, that Trump is a moron who is utterly unqualified and unfit to be president?


I forgot to point out that I was using sarcastic-sans font.


Firing the coach while the team is still in first place in their division, should they end the season anywhere but first it's Bergevin who will be looking for a job.


As I have said so often you build a good team from the net out. Last year they needed improvement, despite the critics,  in at least six areas -  they seemingly stopped at Weber. For some reason Habs were on the right track, but now they seem to look like they are coasting, extremely tired and waiting for a shoe to drop rather than working to get better.


In the recent Toronto production of Louis Riel, the title character was sung by someone of German heritage, not Metis.


BRM:  Thank goodness the racists as represented by the White Supremacy movement are a minority.  I certainly don't feel they represent a majority of Americans.  Frankly, if I felt the majority of Americans shared the values of the White Supremacy movement, I'd move to another country.  At the same time, let's be frank here, there is a very real White Supremacy movement in our country at this time and, with the election of Donald Trump, it seems to be getting stronger.  That may be simply a coincidence, but it is also a fact.  Gary Crum


It seems clear that Alaska is not owned by Alaskans anymore, why?

The people of Alaska voted in 2006 for a "citizens initiative capped the legislative session at 90 days" but they ignore that!!

The people of Alaska  voted to move the Capital to Willow but they ignore that.

The Alaska law said a small oil company could earn a tax credit if they invested and explored but the Governor VETOED this in the amount of $620 million and broke that understanding! Many say this means Alaska has a bad honor system and the rule of Law is lost!

Rex Tillerson told Congress that Exxon looked for two things when considering where to invest, (1.) Honor, (2.) Rule of Law. Alaska has issues with these things!

Let's make Alaska great again and attract oil & gas investment by bringing  back the rule of law and the honor that once made Alaska the number one oil producer in the nation when Alaska was number one in the World in oil production!

Make Alaska attractive so Alaskans can sell oil and profit


Some are dumb enough to hate you for being you, most are not. You should question your perception before assuming anything of others.


ES: You make a great point regarding ad hominem attacks.  I'm a frequent poster on this site and enjoy the exchange of ideas and opinions.  Like you, I tire of the all-too-frequent trolling comments.  I read your comments and appreciate your compassion and consideration for others.

I have no problem with "persons expressing their opinions and rebutting any posting with which they disagree."  I spend a lot of time doing that myself.  However, it can be done w/o those nasty personal attacks you reference.  "Hang tough" and don't let 'em wear you down.  regards, Gary


Good catch! You may be a party stalwart who sees what should have been obvious long ago.


Had that factoid been in the article, my comments would have been reconsidered.


Semper Fi. I understand your frustration, try to do something right and it's nothing but roadblocks. Break the law and lawyers and politicians line up to help the criminals, what the heck kind of backwards system is this?


I'm sure he feels threatened by your juvenile comments (were he even to see them). How childish.


Over to you, Ken King et al. I suggest that this might be the best deal you will get from this Mayor and this city council.

Like it or not, this is now THE issue in the forthcoming civic election. Mayor Nenshi is heading to victory in a cakewalk. There will be no better offer after the election.


Like the escapees of Pandora's Box, the activist judge with his/her own agenda cannot be done away with.  They serve for life.

The long-term solution is for more Gorsuch style Justices and Federal Judges who are less likely to Legislate from the Bench.

The judiciary is a reflection of its society; the increasing growth of Red Flyover States will probably move the pendulum in that direction.  The current Congress will make many Federal Judge appointments.  That should result in more conservative--non Legislating Federal judges.


Hobson says:  "But Jesus and Paul (and Shammai) would have shared the rabbinic understanding that divorce is regrettable but permissible when the vow of fidelity, provision, or love has been broken and there is no repentance. This would include abuse and abandonment."

Jesus addressed this.  As I told you, Jesus did not say that divorce is permissible when love departs, or when the husband becomes a drag on the family's treasure rather than the provider (as when the "old man" becomes terribly sick); or when "love has been broken."  These things are not adultery, and Jesus, knowing this, still limited the grounds for divorce to adultery.  Hobson doesn't explain this away.  Can you?


Victim? It seems like she is quick to accuse people on social media as well.  I tend to lean towards number 5 of Peter's post above. Mark Nichols was part of her family.  He is in their family portraits and goes on vacations with them.


Singh is not the change candidate. Being a different skin colour and wearing a turban doesn't do that. The NDP did badly last election in large part because of moving away from progressive roots. Guy Caron is the most progressive, practical and clear spoken by far, and would delete Trudeau in a debate. I believe Niki Ashton and Charlie Angus could do a good job as well. As for Singh, we don't need another Trudeau-like platitude candidate
- people will just vote for the real thing instead. This is how he comes across to me, a lack of genuineness and lack of platform substance compared with the other candidates. It has nothing to do with his turban.


Sometimes I wonder whether this newspaper should be lumped along with the likes of Fox News and Infowars. The obsession with launching cannonballs over the political aisles is as strong with the G&M as it is with those 2.

Take this op-ed section and its endless fusillade of dressed-up low-grade gibe against the US. It's not much different than Faux's or Infowars' constant bashing of Obama when he was prez.

And every time it shows insularity to news that would inconvenience its agenda, I figure this paper belongs with Breitbart, they'd be two peas in a pod.


Clearly the market is changing and the news organizations of yesterday won't survive today. Pouring more public money into a broken model won't fix the problem. To take this proposal seriously, the first recommendation should be to immediately close down the CBC. It is long out lived its mandate, lacks any credibility, and distorts the market with its high subsidies. Ad revenue would then be earned by the private broadcasters, who would be more financially stable. The second recommendation is to address the credibility problem most mainstream media outlets have. Once these recommendations are done, then we can talk about public subsidizes.


You need to explain or justify that logic a little more clearly for me/us. IMO, not justified, also by the DA's standard, hence a manslaughter charge. They saw the new video today, like some of us and came to a decision that shows she was clearly negligent. She was the first and only to shoot, when others did not. In fact, one person was using their taser, which may have been justified. Should leave you with this thought though, this country would see scores of police officers killing "suspects" every day, if they went by this officer's overly trigger happy sense. Neither person deserved to be in this situation. :-(


Indeed. How many more spitting phlegm-spitting Chinese is McCallum to force onto Canadians?


Thay do pay high personal taxes in Norway - but also receive free higher education and vocational training systems; a very generous retirement system and and have government paid health care to boot.
Which of their programs would you like to see in Alaska? Which Alaska programs for whom should be cut?
And how much more added taxation of oil companies in a declining world oil  market do you want when shale and other cheaper oil is more easily accessible to them?


I doubt the court will do anything more than courts around the country have done with fire districts and police districts. It is a simple matter of there is no free ride.  You can not demand free services when your neighbors are paying for it.  When a fire department serving a service district does not save the house of someone out side the service district courts have ruled in favor of those departments. I suspect the same will be true should the police services for Girdwood ever make it to court.


South Korea's president blasted Trump's irresponsible and dangerous rhetoric.  Kim will not give up his weapons of their development.  Trump failed again to do anything other than strut and play the fool again. Even Republicans are distancing themselves from this TV entertainer.


BS, and it don't take a Bachelor of Science to know you have no idea of the public school atmosphere and how things really are!


Spot on, Turner. As TD said of Mr. Bowlen, “He doesn’t get the credit, and a lot of it is because he didn’t want the credit." In stark contrast to the media whore that jones was, is, and always will be. jerrah really believes that he is primarily responsible for the very dated successes of the cowboys. Mr. Bowlen has always understood its about the whole organization, but mostly about the players.


I believe every word Dr. White said. I am beyond dissapointed with GHCH... give a little and get alot but no. They would rather pay astronomical amounts of money to get temporary coverage then bend a little and keep fantastic permanent service. Apparently Jensen does not realize how damaging this is to our community! I have a three year old and one on the way that just had there doctor ripped out from underneath them.


Thank you for your reply MC.  I care nothing for this dude as an individual since I do not know him.  I have concern for him as a fellow human.   I believe we must respect human life profoundly and destroy it only when clearly necessary.  The policies that lead to the standoffs are often not based on rational analyses of probable threat, but rather on the very American attitude that killing those who do not comply is okay.  I do not impugn the opinion of the "girlfriend" personally, I do not know her.  However, since I do not know her, I have no reason to believe her over her boyfriend.   A reasonable person should question which of two witnesses is telling the truth.

I believe that police and prosecution policies teach citizens how to resolve conflict.  When compliance trumps life in police action, when police or prosecutors do not respect all persons, citizens cannot help but conclude that lack of respect and use of force is okay in resolving their own issues.


I'm not a financial supporter of HSUS or PETA.    I would love for all animal organizations to be perfect, but am grateful for many things they ARE doing , calling attention to things that need to be seen and addressed.

Corruption is rampant, but to a MUCH greater extent in governments,  and corporations that run those governments.  To those entities, people are only important as consumers, but otherwise mean nothing to them, and, like D.D., they don't care at all about the animals.


Our President has the right to his opinion as well. Especially over the laziest & most unintelligent play they will ever make in the NFL. They have the resources, money & influence to bring their agenda to light more productively without stepping on a Veteran or fan and disrepecting the sacrifices of our forefathers. The anthem is what we aspire to as a ppl & the flag is our symbol


How refreshing to watch reports of college students taking in seniors in Florida, of strapping young people cleaning up debris on the many islands, of people helping with children in shelters, and yet our young Canadians who were in these zones are complaining that they have no help from our government. What a selfish bunch of twits! As a senior who has worked all over this world, whatever happened to self responsibility? So in a typhoon in Taiwan I was supposed to whine to the consultate? In a monsoon in India, I was supposed to call the embassy?? In a snowstorm freezing cold spell in Russia, the Canadian government is supposed to fly me out??? Some people should not have passports. They are ann  embarrassment to the country. They didn't seem to know that the British, Americans and the French OWN some of those islands.


We have close to $17 billion in funds that the legislature can access. We are going to blow through that money in two years?


Well then, what are the sources of your information?


It's not like Global Warming is more pronounced at the arctic latitudes or anything...OH, wait...


So tell us, "'war hero' (Phil Long)" and 'Mount Carmel Veteran’s Service center' have just exactly WHAT to do with protests made to raise awareness of police killings of black citizens?

Absolutely nothing - except that it highlights that military worship is something the dealership feels it must pander to ...


Bytown, you can post all the misinformation you like but as I have posted so many times in regard to this article, all previous administrations did not dismiss AGs until they had found replacements. Trump has not done this.
It seems quite obvious that this administration has something to hide and are therefore ridding themselves of people like Bharara to elude investigation.

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2017/03/10/despite-trump-bharara-won-t-resign-yet.html

Now, try to find an article that can disprove my comment. If you can't, then move on.


No, maybe, perhaps, sometimes, yes


NO. It did NOT.


Toxoplasmosis also has a devastating impact on marine mammals.  And given our proximity to the marine environment, feral cat colonies should not be allowed. https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/dual-parasitic-infections-deadly-marine-mammals


Let's be honest - a lot of the fault is down to millennials.  Now that's not simply because they are millennials - it's because they're young and inexperienced....and perhaps a little bit youthful in their ways.

I know because I used to be young too.

But also a lot of old folks are really bad drivers too.   We may have experience but we can be old and sloppy and set in our ways.

Give those millennials 30 or 40 or 50 years and they'll be bad drivers for totally different reasons than they are now.


Divided States of America


Although I follow the somewhat skewed explaination of the charges. The age of these kids and the systemic abuse of these two twisted parents screams mental incapacity. And for the DA to talk about emotional responses like I'm the one who's crazy is way over the line. Why wasn't there a psyc evaluation done on the parents? It's as if we are talking like they left the kids in the car for a minute unattended while they shopped. That's a misdemeanor. I think just because there were not physical locks on the door there were mental ones.


of the "patriarchy."


Unless Exxon has put in a crude oil distillation top unit to make diesel or fuel "oils", the condensate from the gas is more like propane or butane (in lighters).  Propane cannot be shipped in the pipeline due to it's vapor pressure but light condensates are shipped at a rate of about 40,000/daily from Prudhoe.  The joke of this "new oil" is the fact that these light condensates are not cracked from crude at the refinery, they are distilled out and fetch about $120/barrel.  Ask yourself what about 40 gallons of propane cost you.  The butanes and slightly heavier condensates are worth more money as chemical product feedstocks.  Once again our Elected Mutts have given away a valuable people owned resource.  It's just a fact, the oil companies have more intelligent folks working for them than we Alaskans have working for us.


Are you now or have you ever been?


Grossly unprepared for the conditions. Hopefully they learned a valuable lesson.


Nope, that's not how it works. America is a constitutional free Republic complete with free and fair democratic elections, and POTUS TRUMP was democratically and fairly elected, period.
Terribly sorry to inform but America spoke in November and if you reside in America then like it or not Donald Trump is your president too.

Your rhetoric comes across as childish, vitriolic, and uninformed. Trump can no more dictate who supports him than I can.

Also, I've been a responsible gun-owner for decades, I have a conceal-carry permit in my state. And, I bought an AR-15 right before the election....."IN CASE OF HILLARY, BUY AN AR", as it were.

Again, this atmosphere of division and nastiness is eight years in the making......a direct result of a post-Obama-AmeriKKKa, by design.
But we're gonna #MAGA, so no worries.
