The ethically broken compass part-time mayor/part-time banker sees no problem with and has zero issues with doing things that will offend the proper sensibilities of normal citizens who are obligated to abide by societal protocols, rules and laws.

Just another notch on the Cadwell cane of ineptitude, hubris and unbridled corruption.

Good choice Kirky...you must either be a Christian above other Christians by turning the other cheek or owe Mr. Alexander something big. Why does this small rock feel an obligation to recycle every has been, loser or convicted criminal...INTO GOVERNMENT???


I didn't vote for Trump, but now that he's in I *do* hope that a different approach -- to our nation's many, many issues -- will yield positive results, or at least move us in a positive direction.

That said, regarding the line, "Republicans oppose [ACA] and call it a government overreach", the only thing I can't help recalling is that the GOP's proposed alternative was...

...wait for it...

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AT ALL.

(Unless you count "shutting down the government" as a solution. Which must have been fun to have been a Republican voter thrown out of work because of the Party's hollow grandstanding.)

So whatever comes of Trump's plan *has* to be better than THAT, no? Otherwise, as has been said elsewhere, we will continue to be a first-world nation with third-world healthcare.


WE can't really expect one person on the team to score all the points, remember there are 10 other players on the offense and 11 players on defense, if they can't work together as a team find other players who can


Freddy, your title suggests you made it to Meccah.

You should really understand how was Islam spread throughout the middle east, North Africa, the Iberian, Asia, Indonesia etc years after the death of your Prophet??

Your people conquered by the sword, forced their religion on folks, focred their language on folks, and blamo you have the Egyptian, Moorish, Grenadian, Indonesian, Sudanese, and the West African societies all being Islamic.

Every culture has done this, hell yours still does it in Darfur, Parts of Northern Iraq, and S Sudan.

But it is only bad when the west does it right?


You should probably take a look at the Reagan administration's record on illegal immigration.


No surprise that the Newsmax morons are busy hunting and pecking away here.  Yeah, sure, it's a hoax because that's what scientists spend their time doing. Sort of like Trump University.

Peer reviewed study? Hoax in the Newsmax alternate universe.

Enjoy your delusions, simpleton.


You obviously haven't been paying attention and I can't believe I'm doing your work for you but here goes.

Since I suspect you are capable of reading only one article, I would suggest that you google "Expert on Nazism explains the shocking similarities between Trump and Hitler's propaganda tactics." (History News Network, Oct. 12, 2016).

If that's not enough for you (it should be enough for ANYONE) you might want to try googling the following articles:

"How Hitler's rise to power explains why Republicans accept Donald Trump."
(New York Magazine, July 7, 2016)

"There's a little Mein Kampf in Trump's Art of the Deal." (USA Today, 3/31/2016)

"Is Donald Trump getting his cues from Hitler? How the GOP leader is following the Fuhrer's recipe." (Alternet.org, Dec. 10, 2015)

"The similarities are too obvious: Donald Trump thinks like a Nazi." (LA Times, Oct. 22, 2016)

"The theory of political leadership that Donald Trump shares with Adolph Hitler." (Washington Post, July 25, 2016)


Napartaq, I believe that the author of the article and those he is quoting are referring to the entire area of surface streets that one has to traverse when connecting to or from the Seward and Glenn Highways as "downtown" --- I don't think that anyone is suggesting that this traffic is moving through the literal downtown of Anchorage.

Regardless of what one wants to call that area, it is a fact that the lack of a highway-to-highway connection in "downtown" Anchorage is a grievous bottleneck and weak link in the Anchorage road system, the resolution of which is (at least) four decades overdue.


Well, you must know more than your leader Bannon. Maybe you should start your own conservative fake news website.


You don't know what a heresy is.


Thanks, Cathal. Halladay's passing is a real shocker. Such was the man. I never knew or met him but he carried his self the way you would want all professionals to. Pro athletes, especially those like Halladay who are in it for the purity of the sport, are a separate breed. Your reference to the young boy, Sean, illustrates Roy's character. He made millions but it was all about perfecting his craft and the people around him. He will be missed and fondly remembered. I hope the Jays make up a bunch of Haladay shirts with the proceeds going to Roy's favourite charity. I'll buy one. Such was the man.

This is a long overdue initiative to help the working poor.

-proposed administrative requirements "red tape" do not appear onerous and at and least one of the present requirements will be dropped.

-There are virtually no wage raises in minimum wage jobs.

-There is no evidence that an increase in minimum wage affects hiring.

-There is no evidence that this will affect younger workers.

-More money circulating in the economy particularly in the hands of those who most need to spend it should stimulate economic growth.

Increasing the minimum wage and providing a modicum of security to the working poor will reduce their need for taxpayer funded government supports.  Taxpayers should not be underwriting the labour costs of companies.  Better security for the working poor will also improve their health thus reducing expenditures and give them more flexibility to improve their education.


I just love the reality note ---- "minority-elected "President" Trump.


That has a lot of to do with Americans being ignorant and uneducated about anything besides the US.


What "scandal"? Not a cent has been spent, this has yet to be voted on by Parliament, and you're calling "scandal"?


Now days people really don't gorge on all the buffet items. At least from what I observe when I go. Like me I only gorge on the most expensive items. Who cares about pasta and stuff. Give me the crab, lobster prime rib and stuff. 40+ dollar buffet you know where I heading. Sorry folks that's just me.


Pete Antonson, You mean those thousands of studies on ANIMALS say that GMOs are safe for HUMANS to consume?  By the way, do you think of yourself as a scientist?


Thank god.  Time to play by the rules Christy.


Are these people really so dense that they believe countries should not have borders?  What kind of country just allows anyone to move in anywhere anytime?  It is a felony to enter Mexico illegally.  What if we treated every "undocumented" alien as a felon in the US?  I hate the way they move here illegally and then tell us what our laws should be and how they have a right to this and that in our country.  It's like me moving into their house and demanding dinner and complaining about the service!


Bennet needs to wear a body cam at all times and install cams into and outside his house and car. Trouble is black people give themselves a bad name and nice guys like Bennet suffer for it. What can they do to reverse this? You tell me.


Sen. Tokuda for governor.

She's the only one who's fighting for us.


Sadly, the people the Republicans really want to lower the taxes for build with marble, not lumber.


One of the problems we must face head-on as a country is mental illness.  Cutting funding is not the answer


We are not the World`s savior. Latest estimates from the Justin government over 10 Billion dollars has been promised earmarked for helping over-seas for the next five years, enough already...!


The score says that CU won that game.. Stop making excuses


The Mayo Clinic has long been a model for excellent, affordable healthcare. So naturally it's been largely ignored.


Thanks for that Lynn, it's a good observation.    I'll date myself, but I was thinking along the lines of the high rise apartments like Cabrini-Green and others built with good intentions to house people, but terrible designs for human beings.

I agree with people like yourself, that put housing as a foundational base for building a life.    (I find it difficult to say, but in some cases institutional housing is the best way to offer advanced mental health care as well)

But after living in three very different parts of the country, housing needs are not same, not in price, not in needs, not in construction.   I think state/local leadership structures are the best option.     The fed may well have a great design, but if it doesn't fit North Dakota, it won't be supported in North Dakota.

Thanks for your insights, something that I have enjoyed now for many months.


Trumps now seems to be doing what USA Presidents should have done in the last 30 years: REMOVE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS FROM THE USA. I hope Canada will not tolerate SANCTUARY CITIES but deport illegals from the country as soon as identified. This is the way to keep Canada a welcoming country for refugees and economic migrants. They MUST come in Canada LEGALLY.


Lock the Pig up!


Hallelujah. That just wouldn't play here.


Lies damned lies and statistics....percentage increases mean nothing..you need to know the starting number!  The leap from 1 to 2 is 100% increase!!
The reality is that there are many more anti Semitic complaints thsn anything related to muslims. Get real!


You've got to lower the bar a bit, lets start with the FN word for "wheel" or "steel"....


Ok Trump we heard yor anti free tade message.


Weld County would double their tax revenue if they were just paying for themselves and not the social programs the cities put on. Clown


Some puzzling stuff, here:

Saudi Arabian officials have argued that military purchases ... should be seen as a goodwill gesture by the Islamic kingdom to cement its friendship with Canada."  Okay, on that basis, I don't think Canada should care.  Oh, but if that "friendship cement" comes with $15 billion pay-out, helping to finance 3,000 jobs, well, hmmm...

And this: "...other unrelated Canadian companies such as Terradyne have been making their  own combat machine sales to the Saudis."  Wow: how much are THEY worth?  And, is these deals government-backed contracts? And so what? Are these deals okay by the government or  not?

Also this head-scratcher:  "...reports that show older Canadian-made combat vehicles taking part in the bloody civil war in Yemen – a use for the machines that was not contemplated when Canada sold them to Saudi Arabia to maintain internal security."

Hey, wait!  Isn't putting down dissent in a Saudi province a matter of maintaining "Internal security"?


That shows the caliber of women's soccer yet they want fair compensation?


If they hadn't murdered or scared off nearly all the non-muslims I suppose it would have been them getting arrested.


There you go again....This is not Hillary Clinton, so I'll leave the rest of the name-calling to you. Funny thing for a retired federal prosecutor to be into, but seems like a good time for you to retire. Relax while you're at it...


I agree with your statement whole heartedly but getting people to come together in this day and age is as easy as trying to drive your car without fuel.


You say, "Some people want to decide who can do what in OUR city."
Who are you referring to?

The growth limit policy is a citizen's initiative, petitioned by the residents of Lakewood, supported by City Council leaders, City staff, and their citizens by the thousands.

It is not likely to stop any redevelopment.

It is not likely to drive any middle class families anywhere. There are no plans to develop new middle class family homes in Lakewood.

It is not likely to make Lakewood unattractive for business growth.


Two evils to choose from.  Which is the lesser evil?

You constantly follow him around like a puppy.
Probably just a sock puppet.


They've been saying lower rates through the entire process.  Not that I expect you to believe anything they say, of course, since you're always on the opposing side.


This week a report came out about how print media is crashing due to all the 'free' news on the internet. Well, Globe and Mail, if you expect me to pay for tripe such as this article - or anything else by her - you better review characteristics of your readership - or maybe work in a 'refund for useless articles' mode for your subscription rates.


One less crap retailer in Alaska.


The ASD is its own little Ivory Tower and one would think that with a 700 million dollar budget, declining student enrollment and underutilized schools management one would think their financial house would be in order.
Oddly, considering there is absolutely no inflation, the district agreed to a one year salary/benefit and bonus increase for teachers which added to the 11.5 million dollar shortfall. If the BSA increase fails I think the amount goes up to 16.5 million.
I'd like to see the roofs repaired too but this is the least of their worries and it is primarily due to a lack of leadership.


Your correct in principle, but what do we do the revenue from oil?  We can save it or spend it.  We already have almost 60 billion is savings, so spending seems reasonable.  Now, who should spend it?  The people who own the resource that is being sold, or the government on their behalf?

It seems that individual people spend the money better then government; neither "deserve it".  (a side note, perhaps we should slow the rate of oil production and live on savings for  while, using the oil in the ground as our "savings"; the pipeline should have been built to move 1 Mb/d).


Every veteran should watch this very closely. Your life could defend on it.


Sounds like you blame him.


If anything is "sad" it's your regular attempts to portray yourself as the arbiter of what others say, when your comments rarely make any sense. Introducing 19th century farmers into the discussion of contemporary elections in Virginia is a sophomoric attempt to draw attention to yourself instead of contributing to the discussion.


It has always been, a matter of money.

Power Politics say, preventive emergency spending, will never be an option.

Power Politics say, reactive emergency spending, will always be an option.

The Court of Public Opinion, will prevail, only during an election period.


I am still waiting for an answer ... yes or no. Anything beyond this ...


I hope things continue to improve.........I hope a nice table/bench area would be used by downtown workers and visitors for a quiet lunch and a short respite from work....That would be great.  If it simply would become a comfortable area for the travelers to "hang out", that would not be so great.  Gary Crum


Yes, globe and fail. It's been a year since he got elected and a year since you filled Lake Ontario with so much of your tears, it could power a hydroelectric dam for the next 100 years. Find a new hobby.


The Republicans don't lead, don't follow and get in the way. The Democrats don't have a platform, follow blindly and get in the way.


all large organizations end up being run for the benefit of insiders and not whoever it is that they are supposed to serve.


Poor Port Angeles


We forgot to mention Robert Byrd, kkk organizer. His name is on 55 buildings and was described by Hillary as her " friend and mentor." Byrd served 57 years as Democrat in Congress.

Of course Washington District of Columbia, (Columbus) has to be renamed. No more  Washingtons, cities, states ,  sir names, streets... Don't want to offend indigenous people.


I agree it certainly isn't going to go away unless specific action is taken to accomplish that. One place to start might be the popular campus fashion of trying to cut police and courts out of the process of delivering justice by instituting "sexual assault tribunals", or the like, where the rules of evidence are flexible and the punishment, while not including jail time, can be devastating.


So ... the Senate ethics committee has decided that Meredith's behaviour has tainted the dignity of the Senate, and allowing him to remain would damage the trust the public has in the Senate?

Hee  Heeee  Heeeeeeeeeeeee ........


Oh. Is America a "democracy" again? All I've seen from Trump supporters in the wake of this election is that America is not a "democracy" but rather a "republic". Which one is it going to be? You can't have it both ways.

Moreover, I fail to see how taking a principled stand has anything whatsoever to do with with having "respect" for "democracy". Please explain.


Insulting to 7 year old boys everywhere.


As adults, these so-called dreamers are breaking the law by being here. Is it that hard?


you thinking we should screen out jokes cause the political correct police nutters like you dont like them is the definition of snowflake stupidity


That was a normal regulation.


I have been a lawyer for 34 years and I am a part time professor of law.  I got my LLM years ago.  The article is misleading and confusing.


Reminds me of  poor old  German VG Gruber who became the scapegoat for another  to take them out of the firing line.........


The Times was an independent locally owned paper. The Daily News was owned by the liberal McClatchy corporation that could afford to subsidize it through the tough times. The News came out in the morning and the Times came out in the evening. Big mistake - and by the time the Times swapped to morning they had lost a lot of readership. Steady level of journalistic integrity - that's hysterical.


Canadian rates go up based on housing bubbles, sure sounds 'sustainable' to me.  Appears more of a political rather than a practical decision.


Rubin is a partisan hack.


"Corporate SJW"? Rather an oxymoron, don't you think?


Thank you Denver Post for this puff piece on the Obama acolytes.  Coloradans only need this piece of information to save themselves from the neo-coms.  They are idealistic, caring and completely ignorant of the destructiveness of their ideological roots.   They will use the force of government to impose their goodness and caring ways upon us all.  They will starve business of capital while they increase benefits to their base.  It doesn’t work everywhere it has been tried.


Completely wrong Gary!  This is not a school yard bully, he is the President of the United States whether we love him or loath him.  We didn't choose him, the American electoral system did and at the very least we need to respect that.   If Canada is smart we'll play up to him, get what we need and want.  I don't believe Canada should back down from what we need and nor give into unreasonable demands but to use rhetoric as a tool would be foolish and risky with this man.  Understanding what to get from the man who holds that office is part of smart diplomacy.  Perhaps if we treat him the way he likes it'll be much easier for Canada to get what it needs.  Let's stoke the man's ego, the rest will follow and we'll benefit from it. Who really cares, he doesn't represent us.


Morguard and Hunt dealt with the enforcement of judgments between Canadian provinces, which under Canadian law have the jurisdiction to regulate enforcement of foreign judgments with respect to most areas of law. However, the Supreme Court specifically noted in Morguard the need in the modern world economy “to facilitate the flow of wealth, skills and people across state lines in a fair and orderly manner.” As such, these cases must be considered in assessing the issue of the enforcement of foreign judgments in Canada.
Canada’s lower courts have almost universally applied the Morguard principles of enforceability to judgments originating outside Canada’s borders. This extension of Morguard has considerably simplified the enforcement procedure for foreign litigants.
To translate for you. She has a legal judgement at at the end of the day Omie is going to have to pay it.


Those land sales were all public record. The IRS isn't going after him. It was one county financial disclosure form that was missing.


(part 5)

The NYT, WP, Economist and other respected voices of the political establishment and ruling class is correct in that he is "unpresidential"by their standards; but he was elected to drain the swamp! He is a symptom of a larger political malaise in the West and new class cultural war.

For all the fuss about him not being "presidential" and the latest "tweet", he just reinforces the hubris of the current ruling class. Almost two years and Brooks and co. can only still respond with ridicule or hysteria - no introspection or understanding - just doubling down on the #Resistance.

The great founding principle of America was always rule by the people not an aristocracy, technocracy, shadow state and better than thou ruling class and clerisy...

Trump certainly deserves plenty of fair criticism; but that he is the POTUS should be an indictment of the ruling class (and clerisy) and should cause serious introspection. Instead we have Russia! Hitler! Clown! #Resistance!


But those strict immigration laws have been poorly enforced, if at all. So the simple solution Would Have Been to enforce the existing laws. Obama did not do so and encouraged just the opposite. So now, an EO has been issued...too bad it wasn't even strict enough!


You get the stupidest leading question award
It's so obvious you should work for the NYTimes or the register guard


What a wonderfully well-written article.  This is English at its best.  Mr. Doyle is always highly entertaining and informative. Kudos!


Its disgusting to see the colonialist western bullies ( including our PM) engaging in this kind of racist denigration of a successful African statesman.  Shame.

BTW, WHO did not just respond slowly to the ebola outbreak, they corruptly tried to hold back quarantine measures implemented by outside countries.


The people, informed, united and organized, will never be defeated.
    The people, uninformed, uncaring, divided, and ignorant, will always be defeated. And that's the way the billionaire corporate media likes it.
  "What's good for business..."
    People disaffected, disengaged and ignorant, resign themselves to the status quo, comply with authority and buy more stuff.
  It's democracy that needs saving - from the media concentration of billionaire corporate newspapers that glory in the profits of the global economy while ignoring the needs of average working Canadians.

"Your inquiries about this are hereby permanently rejected, and your arrogance will have us discussing if we want to have anything to do with the ADN at all. Do not reply, unless it’s to offer a sweeping apology." - Dec. 17, 2008

"How about I call a press availability...say we won’t dignify these questions and call out by name the reporters pursuing them?... Let’s at least demonstrate publicly our pride and honor that we’re not going to let this evil stand.

Now, we could go sarcastic, with a presser in which we acknowledge that Bigfoot is a member of your Cabinet who has counseled predator control and that you are really the descendant of Anastasia, who survived the execution of the czar, s family, proving that not only can you see Russia but that you’re actually from there, and that you’ve got all of Imelda Marcos’ shoes plus Michael Jackson’s white glove. And then we can ask the ADN reporter why they’re not covering session." - Dec 17, 2008


what world do you live in where you think the worst parts of British Imperialism was the food?


Insult, singular, and boy was it called for !


I find it interesting this person is more concerned that people visiting Eugene will see homeless people in the downtown area than the fact there are so many homeless people in the downtown area.  Maybe this person should stop traveling and take the money and donate it to affordable housing, counseling, drug rehab, job training....I'm embarrassed that we live in a country that does not have universal health care,  fair minimum wages, affordable housing and give tax breaks and subsidies to the wealthy corporate polluters and rapers of the Earth. I'm embarrassed at the adolescent and selfish mentality of so many adults in our country.


Because any news you don't want to believe is fake.
No wonder you like Trump.
We know the drill: Only good news about Trump is real, right?
Da, komrade!


The military's presence in these islands is both an economic pot of gold and an itchy rash that needs to be scratched.  More people on an island does not necessarily mean a healthier economy, both from the military and from the tourist trade.  I learned a long time ago that a diverse economy is the healthiest way to go.  People come here to play in the sun, surf in the ocean, and feast on the beauty of these islands.  They don't care where the sewer lines are, or if they spill our "pilau" into the ocean.


It is a fact Jack.


I'd settle for Ivanka, Donald Jr. and Eric being banished to Exile Island.

To understand the share structure takes very little time, or some quick advice from a securities person.
In short, it stinks.     Shocking that the Teachers Union (pension fund) would even consider this as an "investment".
The managing directors, and major  shareholders (preferred shares) who control the votes are all part of the Laurentian Elite.......So is the Trudeau family.
Note, every time Bombardier receives  government loans (handouts) the controlling shareholders PAY themselves a bonus. And they are doing it again.
Government bailouts are acceptable in reasonable circumstances.   Not with Bombardier.


Oh Joe we know please don't act like we don't! The native claims settlement act was the first attempt at rounding up the nomadic natives into one spot! Further along through history it was modified several times to keep natives off of lands that were of interest to the federal gov. Natives never claimed ownership of any specific lands other than a few good hunting and fishing spots that would be used seasonally.


Nowadays you can blame everything on psychiatric problems, steroids, neural malfunctions and so on. Why don't we take a hard look at the root cause? We are now more advanced than ever, but we are having more and more such problems. Why?
Why not take a more introspect way, and look at ourselves. When bad things happen, the first to do is to look at ourselves and see what we should do to avoid such results. Unfortunately it is a lot easier to blame every else and this is the easy way many people choose to take, including this article.
Tell you what, it does not matter who did wrong. If your kid goes down, it is you that suffers.


Mueller is going to love this latest revelation. He lies just like his father. Lock him up!


Ages ago there was a government funded experiment that set out to prove MJ smoking = bad driving. It backfired on them. The subjects tested better when stoned, LOL !

Actually it makes a bit of sense. They were probably using low potency MJ. I'm sure if you smoke enough it will affect anyone's driving. The good news is it wears off a lot faster than booze.


great idea, and let traffic come to a stop with thousands more trucks a day coming  back and forth to anchorage and seward.. logistical nightmare with the hwy of death as it is. not everything will be shipped by rail. no tracks to homer or kenia.


Correct - it is about making the right decision, not just the expedient or career promoting decision.  Tougher enforcement for younger offenders  just makes sense from a preventative standpoint.


nobody with more then 5 minutes market experience pays any heed to what the bloodsucker squid says  as they are probably on the other side of whatever trade they are pumping on that day.  I wish the media would stop pretending they have more then zero credibility or honesty.

If so, then she might pick up a piece of the $25M Trump was forced to pay to his "students" (and their attorneys).


That's because the era of Liberal tax  and spend Democrats is over.  The business of the US is business.  You can't tax away the wealth of the Country and give away to the less fortunate.  People have to be responsible for their own futures.  They can't look to the nanny government for hand outs.


That's what I said.


There we go: this one paragraph.
Thank you to Mr. Banks.
---
 Amone Banks, an African-American federal employee, said he didn’t mind the talk of white identity.

“Racism is a part of my life,” he said. Banks said he was there to support Trump and conservative economic policies in a time when the welfare state has expanded.

“Free speech is free speech, whether you like it or not,” he said.

This is correct: "Federal immigration law gives the president broad powers when it comes to restricting entry into the U.S. by foreigners."  Seems like that law is being completely ignored here.


Oh its got Harpers name on it... I hate to be that guy who just says its garbage because of one person associated with it... but to be quite honest, Harper never really thought anything through, and his legislation attempts were borderline vindictive, and prejudice.

No lost love for this bill... or the man who put it forth.


Yes! I, a deplorable, basement-dwelling, bucket of idiot, b@st@rdized Catholic, needy Latino, everyday American Black super predator, Muslim ne’er-do-well sand Negro, shall vote for Clinton. She shall unite us all — just like she promised at the convention!
I know that the Russians are trying to rig our elections by telling everyone how we tried to rig our elections.
It does not matter that Bill turned the White House into a brothel, lied to Congress, and was disbarred for perjury, then had to make a nearly $1,000,000 settlement. Bill is not running for president; his enabler is.
There is no story here!


"He has some evidence."

The above is a huge assumption, and given his "shoot from the lip" assertions about all sorts of other things (again, unproved) I'd say the odds are he doesn't have ANY.


Thanks for reminding us that all lives don't matter in this country. They never have. The irony is that most Americans claim to be Christians. That doesn't say much for Christians.


Can't say I'm suprised. How insecure can a self-proclaimed "billionaire-genius" be to have a fake Time cover made propping himself up? Sad!


President Trump is flying at Mach 1 with his hair on fire and the Dumbo Dems are just chugging along chanting, The Russians are coming!  Collusion! Collusion! Impeach! Impeach!  HA! HA! HA!


Munoz is a great example of how out of touch with reality the majority of our politicians really are. Any baby raping s.o.b. should be locked away for as long as the law will allow, period. There are no socially redeeming qualities within anyone who would harm a child in any way and at the top of the list is a child rapist(Jack) or someone who would facilitate the rape of a child (Hauge). What Munoz has done to the victims of these horrible crimes is nearly as bad as the crime itself in that they are being told that what happened to them does not matter, that in fact they do not matter. If it is possible for a politicrit to feel shame then Munoz should feel extremely ashamed of herself and do everyone a favor and resign (fat chance) and apologize to the victims in person (again, fat chance). There is one way to show Munoz the error of her idiotically misguided ways and that would be to vote this moron out next election. Remember the victims and help them and not the predator criminals.


Somebody on the board wrote, with a lot of voter support by readers, that it is good that there are no white male candidates because Mansbridge was a white male and he hosted the evening news for decades.

Um, hello?

By that logic, medical schools should have shut their doors to white males in, say, 1980 and not re-opened then to white males again until around 2150.

Sorry, folks, but I do not subscribe to your "punish today's younger cohort for elderly yesterday's trends" philosophy...

... indeed, your approach seems shockingly unethical...


A sick confidence game he's got goin on...all in his own words.

“We’re going to have insurance for everybody”

 “I was the first & only potential GOP candidate to state there will be no cuts to Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid”

"We have to get rid of the artificial lines around the states”

“I am going to take care of everybody … Everybody’s going to be taken care of much better than they’re taken care of now.”


That plan has a certain amount of uncertainty.


I don't always agree with Jimmy Kimmel, but he did a really good job defining the problems.  See if you can find his monologue.


This president has a sense of reality that emotionally healthy people find strange.  When advisors leave it is his decision to disband it.  When his people disagree with him he fires them.  When he says dumb things he justifies them and never ever ever says he's wrong or sorry.  He holds himself to bizarre standards that reflect an underlying character disorder.  He cannot change.  He cannot listen to his advisors.  And he cannot govern effectively.  This should be of no surprise to anyone as he couldn't manage his businesses effectively having declared bankruptcy four times, at least.  That he has supporters is beyond me.


"....And the coming referendum efforts will have a high probability of success...."

 baloney.. any referendum will die on the vine when people realize we are back on an even keel with enough revenue to care for our young and needed infrastructure, and the knowledge education and public safety will be fully funded, and the added bonus that dividends can grow again possibly, and we WON`T be wasting our savings anymore subsidizing your patrons in the Conoco caucus Helgason.  Dream on.


So redistribution of wealth is them considered equality under the law?


Not sure there's much to be proud of in being welcomed by the king of a hereditary kleptocracy that holds public beheadings, denies civil rights to women, provides clandestine financial support to terrorist organizations, and spends hundreds of billions of dollars exporting its extremist Wahabi form of Islam around the world.


She looked fine, when she was at a recent formal function.

Princess Abigail never really says very much, in general, as long as I have seen & known her.


Once again, when Donald "FM" Trump can make the wrong decision, he will.


How is that bad news? Unless of course an investor (or trader I should say) gave up on BCE and sold it before the rally. Would anyone make such an obvious mistake?

And it is not good news (for me anyway) that ENB is up in price, as I have explained so many times before. I prefer my income to rise more rather than rise less....not that difficult a concept for most to understand.


Do not worry he is.


The dead horse on this subject has been picked up and put down so many times.  Give it a rest,  GREED WON as always, lets move on to another dead horse where nothing will change, NEXT PLEASE!!!


And you are racist for not caring about Black Flights! Oh yeah, and a bigot to boot. Have I covered everything?


Thank you.  Hartford is 38.4 miles north and inland from New Haven, home of Yale University.  Travel time is 1 hour 8 minutes  .  The Women’s basketball team at the University of Connecticut is in Storrs, east of Harford, 37 minutes and 24.4 miles away.


I'm sorry you are not knowledgeable about the political history of United States' interference in foreign countries/governments...it's "why they hate us"...

And, so glad to know you are also in the dark about the 50,000 Irish who are currently in our country illegally...


Then don't end up in prison.


I'm pretty glad you don't as well, buddy.


"To (sic) bad your "problems" are legal rights guaranteed by the Constitution."
the article is about domestic violence in which three people were murdered.
Didn't you even read the headline?
When you ever actually own your words?
This is not a Sunday drive in Charlottesville.


The apology it is owed is from Canada. In 1994 Canada stood by and watched the genocidal mass slaughter of Tutsi and moderate Hutu in Rwanda by members of the Hutu majority. In a  100-day period from April 7, 1994 to mid-July, an estimated 500,000–1,000,000 Rwandans were viciously slaughtered, while Chretien and his Liberals did nothing.


Bravo Open Secrets, Bravo.


Here in rural Alberta, I'm getting 2.5 Mb per sec download, 0.7 upload. The Alberta advantage.


When Pope Paul VI said that the "natural object" of sexual intercourse is procreation, he was wrong. Among our closest relatives in nature, the great apes, such as gorillas, chimpanzees and especially bonobos, sex is more commonly used for pair bonding. Thus, science pokes a major hole in Pope Paul's argument.


Lori had a huge impact on the grandson I raised.   She instilled a confidence in him that grew with each year he took her class -- all four of them.  She is an amazing, kind, loving, nurturing woman and our world is better for her being in it.   I hope your future, Lori, is as wonderful as you and --- keep on dancing!!


If traveling on a two lane road, doing the posted speed limit, why should I have to pull over to yield to 5 or more vehicles behind me...delaying my trip and wasting fuel through slowing down and/or stopping?  They are breaking the law, am I not abetting their unlawful ways?  Frankly, I'm not going to do that...sorry speeders, you're just going to have to wait for a passing opportunity to break the law!


They  ran away from college because they couldn't handle the changing demographic. They are just putting themselves at a huge disadvantage in the future. Talk about cutting off you nose to spite your face.  This attitude is mirrored in many Trump supporters. Instead of adapting, they blame immigrants, refugees, minorities, women, media and the left. I certainly agree college isn't for everyone but leaving because your felling are hurt is kind of pathetic.


These people are irrelevant, hypocritical washed-up jokes.  Thanks for the chuckle Trump and ADN.


Americans do not "smirk with disgust"when Canada comes to mind.
They smile with envy. Americans I know speak glowing of how lucky we are not to be subjected to the Jerry Springer Show Presidency. That is why so many want to leave Trump Land for Canada. The Globe has had stories on the number of high-tech professionals picking Canada over the U.S. because of Trump's anti-immigration policies.
Maybe you are talking to the wrong Americans. Try speaking to some people other than coal miners.


Hopefully the B stands for Bankruptcy.  Then we can stop subsidizing a failed business.


It depends on your genetics and you won't know until you are given them. There is no need to be in pain after surgery, if they cut you open. If it's laproscopic you may need nothing more than a mild analgesic. If, after an open surgery, you feel really, really good or even euphoric on opiates tell your doctor and get off them as soon as possible. Do not take home a prescription! You are predisposed to addiction. There are other pain killers, and maybe a little pain is better than an opiate addiction. Those people non genetically predisposed to opiate addiction will not feel great after surgery. We feel like crap, even on opiates. They just put the pain in the background while we are nauseous and dizzy and sleepy. If Euphoric or feeling great, red flag.  If you fell crappy on morphine after surgery, you won't become addicted to it.


Actually its not - as per the previous article 100% of the costs are paid by corporate sponsors

$0 from taxpayers


That's not what 'attenuated' means, and your genetic superiority argument is purile. That means its a belief you're supposed to grow out of.


+1, but they can have both (not that I would vote for it).  It means more sprawl and higher housing prices.


Wavemaker, we've had this conversation.  It's a very small business because I can't work full-time.  Car insurance failed, but mostly the driver speeding downtown running the red light.  I do the best I can.

To be honest, I should have conformed like a good little girl and been sucking up your social security instead, but I didn't want to depend on the government like that.  I wanted to be productive.  My bad.


Hmmm, I wondered why Mr. Ballard, instead of refuting the science, would be so invested in lowering the argument to implying the David Morrison is a terrorist. Let's look up his bio and see if he had any interest in the wireless industry.....oh, my gosh......if anyone knows the technology of being a Ted Kaczynski it's Mr. Ballard:  Nigel worked as a consultant on the development of the first commercially successful PDA, namely the Palm Pilot, for CEO Donna Dubinsky, then went on to work with Sony Japan on handheld computing devices. Before moving to the USA in 2000, he managed Bluetooth globally for Cap Gemini out of France.


Donald Trump rose because he made promises he couldn't keep. And his supporters could bear the idea of a female President.


They have only spent 4.6 of the 13 billion of the infrastructure budget.


Anyone charged with a crime should be required to surrender all personal property to the State once the State makes the allegation of guilt until the person proves himself to be innocent, correct?


Correct!


Any Liberal MLA with leadership aspirations, or who just wants to serve out their term as pensionable time, will try to keep this government alive. Remember what happened when the Joe Clark government fell, and as a new leader had not yet been chosen, Pierre Trudeau won another majority and 4+ year term. Pierre had been intending on retiring annd was forced into service. Circumstances conspire!


They're not speaking because they have nothing to say. Weak form of protest in support of a "movement" based on false pretenses.


The World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument--which includes USS Bowfin Submarine Museum and Park, the Battleship Missouri Memorial, and the Pacific Aviation Museum--is under the jurisdiction of the NATIONAL Park Service.  Ige has no authority there.  Since it's a National Monument, Trump likely has ALL authority there.  However, it's good to know that there are folks like skias3779 who can speak for everyone since they know the opinions of even dead people.  Perhaps they use Ouija boards.


There seems to be a pattern to these Marian Happenings among poor folks and nuns.One can imagine people poorly feed more easily hallucinating and subject to suggestive imagining. Institutional Catholicism moved in with monuments to attract pilgrimage who will be open to group suggestion.
Interesting your first hand source to parse Lucia. Seems she was kept under house arrest?
Read a dense study on visionaries in Spain, whose title escapes me. Poverty & politics played prominently in the pious ploys of partisans. And the poor remain poorer. And the institutions rakes in pilgrim profits.
Keep on coming Mary!  You are good for religious business!


I can only imagine the look on a mother's face when the Canadian Aid worker tells her, about her 2 sick kids, "sorry, we can't save your son, only your daughter, our mandate is to help women and girls only".


It sounds like we are trying to do a better job of controlling the dosing in edibles here. The Colorado treats were way too potent - people were instructed just nibble at their cookies, which is just plain dumb.


"24 different mutual funds, including high-fee segregated funds,”" Crazy, I have 1 Balanced fund with an MER of 0.94%


It's not about not getting enough aid, or help. This is a catastrophe not seen in our lifetimes and there's really nothing to measure it with. The infrastructure was destroyed, coordination isn't happening and more than anything else there needs to be someone handling logistics that knows what they're doing. By sending a three-star general in to handle coordinating these groups in setting up a command control center will make all the difference in the world. Things will be different a week from now for these people now that the military is taking over.


What does that mean, Yellow and Pink? Asians I know are brown and seaweed is not pink so what does your statement mean?


Just a start but read my comment and get an Idea!!


The charge was incest.


We used to hang horse thieves.


Weekly basis.  The swamp is so infested.  Unfortunately, family members are off-limits.


"Government service predicated on an understanding of the theopolitical Islamic supremacism that animates jihadists is simply out of the question. Heaven forbid that national security and foreign policy officials have any understanding of the Sharia law that both de facto and de jure governs the lives of hundreds of millions of people worldwide.

What will it take for the West to flip this script?

To date, murder, bloodshed, and fear abound. In spite of that fact, much of the West would rather cling to a narrative that makes it feel good about itself than recognize the reality of a global jihadist menace that threatens its very survival. This insane delusion will continue to have fatal consequences until we wake up."

I pretty much agree with you. This guy 'talks a real good game' but he doesn't 'walk the walk'. However, he isn't the only BNN regular with such a record...........funny how many of them have an association with Sprott. Remember those boys, Hodson and Tardif, and Sprott's disgraceful performance with Timminco?


WHILE WE'RE AT IT, why not BAN EVERYTHING that ANNOYS or STRESSES ANYONE? No one would be able to SMOKE or DRINK or HAVE SEX or USE A PHONE or OWN A GUN or DRIVE A CAR, because ALL those things VEX and BOTHER and even KILL PEOPLE.

The thing is, the word that most deserves capitalization is FREEDOM. That means you sometimes have to live with things you don't like, even if they stress or aggravate or sometimes even kill you, so that you too can be free to pursue the things of your choice.


Offering more treatment for mental illness, and making an attempt to understand the homeless community (instead of applying our standards) would go a long way towards helping solve the problem.


Ok, at first glance, it's $6 million for 20 apartments; but lets look behind that figure.

The 'Building', not just apartments, was fully renovated. That could mean a lot of things. When was the building constructed? If it's old enough, it would need earthquake retrofitting. What about asbestos? Same thing. How big is the building? Is it ONLY holding 20 apartments, or does it have ground floor offices, other offices, rental space, storage? Was it fitted with new high-efficiency windows? Doors? Major insulation upgrades? ADA upgrades? Were any of the support columns/beams having to be replaced/upgraded? What about heating systems? New boilers needed? Was the parking lot included? If so, you have to add in new landscaping requirements, drainage, etc.

It appears the idea is to run it for at least 16 years, so it looks like the building was renovated with that in mind. The price would reflect that. Analysis please?

And this looks a far better deal for Anchorage than the Taj Mahawker II!


I am stunned and kind of in denial regarding trump and his impact.  ok, assuming the awful and he does beome president....he has to divest himself financially of darn near everything or is he going to be the first president to openly twist the tax laws and loopholes to avoid paying money.  this guy is so corrupt, it will be just a matter of time before he is impeached...  really, objectively look at trump....he is who he is...


Still waiting on you gun fetishes to explain to me how we are going to stop rape and murder.
I mean rape and murder still happen, yet we have laws against them.

We can continue to have this conversation, or you can stop using stupid logical fallacies.

P.S. Paranoia of a tyrannical government, is a mental illness.


There is no controversy surrounding vaccinations. It's merely an example of the left being just as prone to conspiracy theories as the right.


Most especially when the business you're going about when out of the office is that of undermining your boss!


This is not a fake, made-up situation.  As a retired therapist, I've seen this time and time again. Although I don't believe counselling or therapy is the answer for every human problem, in this instance some sessions with an experienced couples counsellor to clarify the issues, to translate each partner to the other, and to improve their communication would be the best preventive medicine.  Alternatively, it could reveal that they are fundamentally unsuited to each other and they might have to accept they made a mistake and move on. I've known couples who had a disastrous start to their marriage, followed by a rocky few years, but twenty years later are thriving, having learned to see things through their partner's eyes, to empathize, and to put coupledom ahead of short term individual interest (which can be maintained and even enhanced in a good relationship).


No.

The breach of California law would be a breach of criminal law to the extent someone telling Anne Coulter to shut up  made a threat.

Simply telling Anne Coulter to shut up and leave town s not illegal unless said by the STATE


I spent one year monitoring drug busts, deciding where to go to escape Texas. Denver P.D. and much of CO has the highest rate of heroin/meth busts. The cartels will continue to try and saturate CO, but I will bet every dime I have, they will not devour CO the way they have TX, AZ and CA. CO won't have it. You made an excellent choice. CO isn't just beautiful, most of it's residents are educated/smart and it's classy, fully intent on staying that way.


More lies from the nutbar deep ecology cafe.


Not a "shoestring budget" at all.

Tod True and the not-so-true legal gang are charging huge hourly rates and making many millions through what has become a very profitable enviro litigation industry. Especially the business of holding-up public timber sales until they are paid huge settlement fees like the $340,000 collected over an Elliott timber sale inside the 1500 acres that the state then sold to Seneca.

The sale of the whole Elliott is just the start. The short sighted, self serving actions of the enviro attorneys are setting it up for the timber industry's politicians to justify privatizing more public forests.

Wyden and DeFazio have already sought to do this with the westside BLM forests. With Oregon's Dems giving away the Elliott, I expect they will now be more empowered.


It's time to use some common sense. Build to middle Street and stop. You probably could even think about changing it from rail to buses  since the rail system is a total waste of money and will need a lot of maintenance.

These elected Officials are just a bunch of donkeys who don't want to take a stand and demand accountability. They are all part of the problem here in Hawaii.


I love how liberals bring up red herrings when the issue of abortion is raised. What, precisely, does social security, medicare, medicaid, food programs, healthcare, maternity and the like have to do with the right to life?

The right to life is a fundamental right.  That right does not come from government. The right to life simply exists. We all have it by virtue of the fact that we exist.  The government cannot take away that right--the role of government is to defend and protect that right.

Social security, food programs, healthcare, etc, are not fundamental.  Those things can be granted by government--and they can be taken away by government. We can debate whether government should cut them or take them away---but they have nothing whatever to do with pro-life/abortion.

I mean---you don't really mean to suggest that women have a fundamental right to kill their children because of cuts to healthcare do you?


It's a new business and industry. These are great numbers just for starting. Growers haven't had several full seasons to build up supply yet.


you are full of poo!!!!!


Just think how long would "Dear Black People" show last before BLM start marching?


When the institutional Church teaches the hogwash that is Humanae Vitae, when it treats women as second class members,  when it actively discriminates against gays, when it covers up clerical abuse of children, when it excommunicates the divorced and remarried, when the Vatican is shown to have hundreds of millions in slush funds, when it actively lies to us , why do should people listen?

Two of my sons have rejected the Church. I didn't cause it, the institutional Church did.


No, it's not.  It's a duty to speak out when the President is unfit.  You can stay silent if you want.  And you obviously want.


Human Caused Climate Change is the single biggest threat facing us today.
Exxon knew of this in their own study over 40 years ago. The damage already done to our planet by the Republican Party in halting or hindering attempts to reduce carbon emissions is incalculable. Big Oil and thier bought and paid for politicians have knowingly committed crimes against humanity for decades and should be held accountable for what they have already done. But instead they are now in control of the most powerful and influential country on earth. The damage the Big Oil Russian Republican Party is capable of doing controlling Congress, the Courts as well as the Presidency is beyond comprehension. Our only hope is that the Global Community will keep the USA in check.

They have aged out of pastoral responsibility.  They have no stake in the answer or question.  They are acting like the pharisees that pestered Christ.


We must be using different calculators. Mine says that $2732 divided by 12 comes to $228 per month.


That game showed a lot about the pressure of September baseball. Almost blew the game on defensive plays by Arenado and LeMahieu; two gold glovers.

As an aside, that was torture to watch. Nerve-wracking.


And hypocrisy


Being retired I have watched many documentaries on the subject. Number 1 is the fact that about 120,000 years ago all but 600 people were killed outright in the world. Thus limiting out DNA. Mainly ones in Africa were left. As rain-forest to desert to rain-forest cycles progressed over centuries man lost his hair/fur. This enable him to run long distances and even leave the continent - hence spreading around the world. Well it is not quite that cut and dried .. but close.


Daniel Donkel: I only hate oil when it slurps up on the beach, smothers otters and cormorants, decimates ecosystems. Oil in my car is fine thank you very much.

You are fringe and reactionary. You are the best player on the pro-environment team.


Learn how to construct an argument, idiot.


Why would such an obviously gifted person want to be a lawyer?


And you of course thought that was going to happen immediately after Trump was elected, right?


Foreigners trying to make people think they're American.


The Legislature just put man panties on Cadwell and Menor and they now telling the city how to fund its projects (no spending on Blaisdell) and run its budget (spend $13 million a year on rail funding). Any tax that furthers this ridiculous rail project is a bad idea. But it's fun to see Mufi on tv crying about the taxes HE CAUSED and now let's watch Cadwell turn tricks in Chinatown dressed as a woman with his man panties on - dance, Cadwell, dance. He said he'll do anything for rail the heck with the consequences. What a loon!!!


That's the cost of doing business isn't it, Researchers?  Sorry but I don't have any empathy for anyone that owns a business and they have to pay taxes.  All the communities in southeast Alaska have been paying a sales tax (5-7%) since time immemorial.  The locals understand that if they want a certain level of services they have to help pay for them; unlike Anchorage that has the largest population in the state and never have paid a sales tax.


I don't know the ins and outs of CMC's situation so I can't say where I stand on this particular situation, I guess you must. It's easy for you post your comment. Do you believe that our cumulative tax rates should be 40, 50, 60, 70 or more. What's reasonable to you?


You go David Leavitt. I was born in Andersen way back when Alaska was a Territory and whew! Our city sales tax, state income tax and borough school tax of 100 bucks (only from of our first paycheck) every year was a gnarly bugger to hump. Soon after big oil and Juneau started fire-hosing cubic dollars at every community I felt like a cheat to have all 3 taxes nixed.
I hate ALL taxes, but I love the big 907 Alaska much, much more. So let's put on our big-boy panties and just cut out the tax checks, then go AK dudes: where we "can't be too fat or too drunk." (The Simpsons)
I now tell my rowdy party animal friends we'll have to trim our respective household budgets. We all won't have to drink less, but our obese children will have to eat less.


First, well done LEO's!
Second, bad criminals! Bad bad!  They ignored gun laws and even possessed stolen, so unregistered to them, guns!
 Who woulda thunk ... (eyeroll)

Re "35 firearms, including several stolen weapons and a machine gun"


or gasp, it is not sin - especially if it is not,.


His popularity skyrocketed for me.  He's the only politician who has demonstrated any backbone to make the hard, unpopular calls on our budget train wreck.  Every single member of the legislative majority, and probably some from the minority as well, should be fired in 17 days.  Unfortunately not all of those in the senate are up for reelection this year.  Mark down their names for elimination in 2018.


Trudeau lied to all Canadians in the last election campaign.

Shame on you shiny pony!

SHAME!!!


I guess it says they are trying to keep the country running, correct?


He should leave the country too! Plus, maybe take Rosie and Cathy with him.


Another professorial article descending from ivory tower academe to the mere sheeple below.... mostly devoid of useful content.

What is the alternative .... please enlighten us. An alternative that will not destroy our economies and infrastructure. It is not simply a matter of phasing out fossil fuels - but to find an economically viable low CO2 alternative for heating, transport, electricity generation 24/7 and base load capable. If our universities are supposed places of critical thinking and innovation then this article rates a FAIL ! It is atrivial accomplishment to write about what should be. How about spending some time to propose what might be .... written by a STEM expert.

And please don't recycle the current Green Energy fiascoes as experienced by Germany and Ontariowe !!


It's just another in what will become a very long list of Junior's failures.


I hate giving away good ideas for free but how about creating an "edited" comment section where the editor selects quality comments for a point-counterpoint debate? Non-selected comments would be placed in an adjoining trash/waiting bin still accessible to  the readers.


ADN, could you tell us if our own ethics- challenged Congressman, voted on this?


He actually testified under oath that nothing like that happened.

Watching liberals grind their gears trying to find dirt where none exists is becoming sport at this point. The Democratic Party is quickly becoming a thing kids will only read about in history books, like the Whigs.


I hope Ms Morrow will be equally insistent that the rights violation of the next victim of her client be dealt with so effectively.


This strikes me as wishful thinking. As Motley points out in his comment here, most Trump voters continue to believe in him. They believe and approve of his tweets, forgive the contradictions, believe the only collusion is the rest of the world against Trump, and either tacitly approve of or don't believe his racism. They oppose immigration and immigrants. They oppose regulations to protect consumers and the environment. They approve of Trump's foreign policy interactions. We can also see that clearly in comments here in the R-G. I'm very worried that in our country we have multiple realities and alternate versions of facts, and even truth. These divisions are very dangerous. How will Trump supporters react to a constitutional challenge, if it does come?


Waiting to see which way the wind blows.....


There will be plenty of insurance companies, and plenty of plans with many options for you to choose from...
The only difference is you have to pay for it now.


As far as I am aware, uranium recovery from the Witwatersrand gold mines ceased many years ago, largely on economic considerations.  With the current decline in nuclear weaponry, the world-wide demand for uranium is considerably below production capacity, and serious doubts have been expressed about the commercial feasibility of any local uranium mining, even considering the once-off fuelling demand for the proposed new SA reactors, plus their (fairly small) annual fuel top-ups.


If they do not need the income, they can either place their shares on dividend reinvestment or allow the cash dividends to accumulate and periodically use the cash to invest where they see fit a the time.
If they do need the income, they simply cash the dividend cheques.
Either way, this type of dividend portfolio can work or them.


Women programmers and mathematicians in soviet union were not uncommon either.

There is the need to fit everyone in a one size fits all box, but that is impractical. People are different.


What did Trudeau have?   You are so correct about shallow left voters.


40 billion is too much money to spend trying to hit a bullet half the time or to impress you.


If collecting everyone's "public" records were such a nothingburger, you'd think the Trump gang would just gather them up themselves rather than collude with the Colorado Secretary of State to vacuum them up directly.


I base my comment, “in all likelihood” guilty, on what evidence was presented in the original story of the encounter.  That and the fact that he was, at least in his own mind, a big testosterone filled stud on a sports team.   Life displays the all too common scenario.  I say so based on real life, not the courtroom.  My opinion and nothing more.

Although certainly not the whole story I am sure, I have sat on enough grand juries and trials to know that "all" evidence is not always presented because of legal challenges outside of the courtroom.  But be that as it may, he was acquitted and apparently the PC, feminist police want to 'punish' him.  Totally wrong.


White grad assistant.  Is that what you were hoping for?  A quick Google search.


Definitely front page worthy.


Excellent response, graykeeper. I wish others in the discussion shared your sensibility.


There is no doubt that there has been massive civilian casualties and suffering.   But why the selective morality on the part of G & M editors?  Why no front page coverage of what the US and its puppet government in Bagdhad are doing in Mosul?  Are there no civilian caualties there?

More damning, of course, is the propagandistic narrative so typical of the Globe and other mainstream media.  Why no mention of the support the US, SA, Turkey and Israel have provided to "rebel" groups?  These are no rebels, of course, but mercenaries, or terrorists, that were installed to overthrow the Assad regime and destroy Syria as was done in Iraq and Libya.  The very same al Qaida types who were responsible for 9-11.


You can't have it both ways. Either you believe God admires those who speak from their conscience or not. If so neither you or I or any church can judge whether God agrees with the protestor or not. Jesus, a known protestor, said "Judge not lest ye be judged".


Yeah...Roy...Bill Cosby hasn't been found guilty of raping anyone either yet the width and breadth of the allegations are comparable.  Hillary has viciously attacked every single female that has accused her "husband" of misconduct, while simultaneously "claiming" to be a feminist.  The two things are mutually exclusive.  She is out for herself period.  Perhaps the most self-aggrandizing politician of all time.


Yawn.


The laws seem to be forcing expansion on people who may not want it.

How do places like Detroit handle these growth laws...or do they just apply to areas in states such as Oregon that haven't been as damaged and over-populated yet?


Canada's demands aren't even trade-related....kind of strange for a trade negotiation process.    They are more about social engineering (an entirely different agenda).    Is it ceding control of the agenda to the US to actually focus on trade/tariffs at trade negotiations?  After all, they aren't negotiating a new North American Unified Social Engineering Agreement (NAUSEA).

It's like bringing hockey pucks to the ballpark.  The Americans must be annoyed; the Mexicans must be confused (or amused).


"....no-spray buffer zones in agriculture while spraying restaurants, cafeteria, food warehouses and retail is unremarked...."

Thanks for pointing out the hypocrisy and inconsistencies of regulations.

"adaptation to traces of 'toxics' is part of nature"

The malignant narcissist, mentally warped sociopath, pathological liar and draft dodger, has now revealed himself to be not only a bigot and racist, but a closet fascist. The man spews nothing but excrement from his stinking swamp and proclaims himself president. He is nothing more than a disgusting, semi-ignorant, loud-mouthed fool in an empty suit. The sooner he is thrown out of the WH, the sooner this country can truly be great again.

What trump tweeted when it appears that Romney had won the popular vote in 2012(he didn't):

"He(Obama) lost the popular vote by a lot and won the election. We should have a revolution in this country!

The phoney electoral college made a laughing stock out of our nation. The loser one!

We can’t let this happen. We should march on Washington and stop this travesty. Our nation is totally divided!

Lets fight like hell and stop this great and disgusting injustice! The world is laughing at us.

More votes equals a loss…revolution!

This election is a total sham and a travesty. We are not a democracy!"


What a christian attitude. She fled for her life, she put in paperwork 7 years ago.


You only own the surface estate and pay taxes on that.
You don't own the mineral estate (oil, gas, gold, ) except under limited circumstances as Diamond Ridge Curmudgeon pointed out.


Wonderful article about wonderful people!! Happy travels! 😍


"Donald Trump impersonates a president, and gets away with it."
.
The Globe notes that he "...  painted a false picture of a country besieged by drugs, criminals and terrorists. ..."
.
Well, gosh, Stephen Harper did the same thing, yet the Globe endorsed his impersonation of a Prime Minister ...
.
.... four times in a row !
.
The Globe's criticisms of Trump may be entirely accurate, but they, and even more so the Globe's indignation, are a bit hard to swallow when the Globe fails to acknowledge that it has been an enabler of the very same kind of polarising behaviour that has brought us to this point.


Yet he refuses to have a town hall and meet with his constituents.  He refuses to open the door to his Issaquah office during business hours.  He wants to take away people's health insurance.  He also refuses to listen to his district and ignores their views to further endear himself to Republican Leadership and Donald Trump.  It's time to throw the bum out.


Time to flag yourself as a hate monger.


Gosh, can you imagine what it would have been like if this had happened when Burke was there!


Great post! I am actually getting ready to across this information, is very helpful my friend. Also great blog here with all of the valuable information you have. Keep up the good work you are doing here.

So was Meredith another Harper appointee?
If so, one has to appreciate the Machiavellian genius of populating the upper chamber with so much moral hazard as to almost destroy it....


Most of these faith based facilities were forced into being funded by gov't when medicare was adopted. Many wanted to remain independent, but the governments would no license them as healthcare facilities unless they submitted to the Ministry Of Health for funding and regulation.


I mean you are supposedly a professional, so I think you mean well. But how about look at this from a poor persons perspective. We get it. Rich / priveledged ppl get great healthcare everywhere. And if you do not understand that your circumstance is not representative of at least 80% of the country (over 50% of the US workforce makes less than 30k/yr), then you'll never understand Bernie. My Dad was denied cancer treatment with US private insurance and passed away as result. But I don't get to say, "see." You have to look at facts. And the US doesn't come close to number one anywhere in healthcare. Why not mention that? And it costs nearly 3x amount for simple things, like a doctors visit and shots. Other single payer countries are beating us in QUALITY. Fact is, we pay more for less, and 46k/yr die from no healthcare. So you had to wait a bit? not so bad. Poor ppl in the US have to do that now


Agree, it's important for the public to know the truth behind the madness. Cronies have a tendency to "jump ship" when they know it is sinking.  And this ship has a big hole in it.


Tony Heard’s engrossing personal Kgosana piece is memory-evoking.

At a Lady Selborne High School, Pretoria matric farewell ceremony in 1956 I was deeply impressed by headboy Philip Kgosana’s address showing great leadership qualities. I was 23, working on my PhD; Philip 20: a situation sadly still the norm. In 1960 he burst onto the public stage leading the massive march of people nearly twice his age in ill-fitting borrowed shoes to Caledon Square, Cape Town.

In exile he dropped below my horizon but re-appeared in an article in The Star, 10 October 2016 tracked down to where he was living in Pretoria. With a contemporary friend I found Kgosana’s phone number. It was answered by his charming wife Alice. With my wife we met them on 28 December in their very gracious home in a far-flung north-western mixed suburb. The intended courtesy visit stretched into three-and-a-half hours ending with lunch on their unusual farm products.

Contd……


C'mon PCan, how about a grudging "well done".


Interesting only if you're someone who likes to scrutinize people's every move and make an issue out of something as trivial as how people respond to dinner invitations.


I would say that her political career has been far better than most. Her problems lay elsewhere.

For the who knows how many times, posting a gain that there a re 30 teams in the NHL, a nd only 6 of them have a less than .500 record.  So judging a team by its record, give your head a good shake.

Better indicator is goal diff.  Only 13 teams have a + gd, with Bos even.  That sounds much more right.  That's not counting the SO.

A warding loser points, deciding games 3-on-3 or, horror of horrors in a SO, dramatically distorts a team's quality, a nd distorts the standings.

The NHL could somewhat mitigate the disaster that is the loser pt by making reg wins worth 3 points, which is sensible, a s winning in reg is worthier than winning in a SO or 3-on-3, or 4-on-3 should a team get a PP in OT.

But the NHL is a ll a bout sizzle, not steak, and a gullible public, so many of whom only care a bout the crest on the jersey, don't get it and probably never ever will.


"Find a story about Asian Americans,..."
Check out the university admissions case making its way to SCOTUS.

Yes, the Klan WAS proud of their actions of the past. Nor should we forget history, both the good & the bad. But we are living in the present (or should be). Develop & implement plans for EQUALITY.


I'm sure the suspect is well-acquainted with the law...all the more reason the officer should not have lost control of that gentleman after he had already established control by putting him in handcuffs. And why should not the police be aware that police procedures are so "predictable?" What you say reflects poorly on the officer...who apparently allowed himself to be distracted from a cop-wise perp. All I said was that the officer lost control of a suspect over whom he had already established control. All you are doing is making excuses for the officer....for "losing control of the situation."

Her shirt reminds me of an article published elsewhere that described the perfect "non-sexist" community.

It was populated only by women.

Maybe now JT is beginning to realize that Trump has played him for a fool. Make no mistake, Trump clearly intended all along to put the screws to Canada and recent US decisions regarding Bombardier and softwood lumber make that obvious.


you are an idiot,, tell us loser what has he done that warrents that fantasy


The headline...at least the online headline...incorrectly referenced a teacher as the subject of the allegedly mishandled investigation. The article reveals it was not a teacher, but an aide who was fired for mistreating the student. The editor in charge of writing headlines for the ADN ought to know the difference.


Arms length from the Beijing  CP please--we can sell oil and gas and stuff but we should not sell our industries out- they are not our friends and we should not be their patsies. One day the people of China might wake up from their stupor and realize consumerism is not enough and freedom is more important- if not shame on them. The Communist Party fears this more than anything.


I am not an advocate of government intervention but if you think Toronto and Vancouver operate in a vacuum and they have no affect on the rest of Canada you are dreaming

I remember a nice re-balancing in the US in 2008


The only other "victim" around is the donald.  I guess it will come down to who can make the most noise being the  huuuuuugest victim, and then they will declare themselves the winner.  #MAGA  lol


thank you motley.......you, with your post, highlight the difficulty in discussing this issue.  You seem to suggest that anyone opposed to kids playing football is somehow emasculating them.  Football is a "manly" sport and carries with it tremendous status for high school boys.  It's not surprising that over a million young men (and a few young women) play high school football each year.

I would suggest that the possibility of lifelong brain damage from playing football far, far outweighs the possible emotional damage and sexual role identification issues from NOT playing football.  Additionally, of course, were there not football, these same kids would be playing other very active and, at the same time, less damaging sports....so their masculinity might still be saved (thank goodness)....(that's a little sarcasm at the end, by the way)   Gary Crum


There is a solution, but it's somewhere in the middle where no one wants to go. Dallas did a great job. They protested as a team, owner included. Then they were able to stand and show  respect for those who are represented by the flag. Protest noted, respect for those who are represented by the flag noted. Game on and most people were happy.

Now, if the Cowboys organization goes the next step and brings police, players, and communities together to work toward mutual understanding then all of this will have meant something. Until then, it's just more of the same back and forth that gets us nowhere.

To be clear, I'm not advocating that anyone become a Cowboys' fan, that would be ridiculous. I'm saying that even dingbat squirrels get an acorn every once in a while.

Some words there loaded with differing emotional baggage. "male" is the only one I find unambiguous - and not everyone would agree on that.


Miss Machado can lose weight.  Being a whiney, sore loser is a personality trait.


A few years ago, there was a pothole on the road in front of my house. It was there for a couple of months. I finally got fed up with trying to avoid it. In the middle of the night, I planted a small mango tree to fill the pothole... in a couple of days, a crew came to repair it... Maybe this is what we all need to do with potholes in our streets to get them fixed...


I don't deny my privilege.

I surely don't know what you mean by the 'right kind of feminism'--the far 'right'? I like Hillary; I'm with her. I'm guessing that makes me one of those kinds of women.


907:  Run along you foolish little troll.


Thank you Ian  Bailey...Justine Hunter and, peripherally Gary Mason as well as Michael Smyth of the Province for finally tying up this sorry tale which started with BC Liberal incompetence in the management of THEIR OWN WEBSITE (disclosing personal information about their own supporters), proceeded through a series of Trump like lies and false news before finally rebounding with a thunk on Ms Clark's own doorstep. Unfortunately, many low information BC voters will have taken the wrong message from this debacle but it gives me pleasure to say, for once, that the traditional media has shown its value to a free and democratic society.


Either you get it or you do not.  If you don't then all that I feel for you is sorrow and gratitude that I am not limited in that way.


Not even remotely,

…but you did demonstrate the inane level of cognitive dissonance required in order to maintain and demonstrate exactly the right wing hypocrisy that was so aptly presented in the comment you replied to.

Not even another different Russian bot could have done better.


No.  But the electoral college delegates can change their minds and vote for someone reputable...


@RangerMC says: "If that is true, then he (Mr Obama) learned expertly how to use semantics to communicate."

This neatly sums up the alt-right's Orwellian position that meaning (semantics) is the enemy.

In contrast, the sane world still believes useful statements convey meaning.


Absolutely hilarious coming from someone who doesn't know how to shut up...


"They are putting together a responsible pan.."  What nonsense. We have a workable affordable plan with the ACA. Republicans have nothing to replace it with, because the ACA, like Romneycare in Massachusetts, was a Republican plan worked out by the Republican "think tank", the Heritage Foundation. It's a Republican plan. Republicans have nothing except the ACA, and if they kill it, tens of millions of Americans will lose health insurance, which in the US means any kind of decent health care. If you swallow the crap oozing out of the 135th Congress, you are truly a bag head.


Those executives should be in prison for selling their stock shares before the security breach became public.


Trophy Hunting. Not quite yet a remnant of the past. Killing for sport is nothing but killing for ego. It's fun to kill things, and then look as if you conquered them...with your powerful weapon. I'm in the least impressed.

Designs are now available for the 'woman cave' too.


I think you are correct.  I have been doing that a  lot lately, since I can't block that kinda carp.


And lets not forget that Brad Wall and most of his brain trust were staff with the Grant Devine government...that took an NDP balanced budget or series thereof..the best public finances in Canada...and within 2 terms of government literally bankrupted the province....some 14 billion in debt. More of the same.


Apparently you missed the point of my reply to Oiljar.


TDW,

EV sales are growing 15 times faster than sales of non-EV cars. That makes an enormous difference over time. EV sales are growing, if you like, 1400% faster than non-EV sales. That's reality. Again, we've both spent too long here. You can have the pleasure of the last post(s).


Kotongan--Trump hasn't stopped making such comments and Republicans/his supporters--including you--knew it or should have known it. Therefore it's no wonder you aren't surprised and continue to defend him just as he has continued to make lewd, derogatory and misogynistic comments and continued to behave like the sexual predator he has always been.   He has been accused of rape in the past, and not only by his wife. But even if that weren't enough and assuming it's all lie (which everyone knows is untrue) he's still a poor excuse for a human being, much less a presidential candidate. Those who support him support and reflect his base values.  That's really all I need to know about you.


Apparently the bishops who oversaw these horrible cases did not see it as purely black and white as they mostly attempted to protect the priest and condemn the child and family who would report it.


I hope they get this built. It might give me a reason to go to Glendale.


I assume $5 billion would be conventional diesel commuter rail with a max speed of 79 mph. And the $15 billion estimate would be for high speed electric commuter rail simular to Amtraks northeast corridors Accela trains which have a max speed of 150 mph.

Here's the thing, spend less and it will be a waste. 79 mph diesel trains running 2-4 times a day won't be popular. Even though it only costs $5 billion from Pueblo to Fort Collins which isn't bad on a cost per mile basis, it 2ill be too slow and not frequent enough to attract riders; making it a waste.

Of you spend $15 billion and get 150 mph train a that run 12 times a day, then you have something faster than driving and frequent enough you can easily integrate it into your schedule. The ridership would be much higher; thus making it more viable and worth the investment.

So I must warn either do high speed rail, or don't do it at all. Anything less than high speed rail will be a waste of money.


So Tim, in 6 months we will have a study that says the Pipe will cost an additional $1-2 billion to finish engineering and such?  You stated that so simply, as if it's easy money. Who's gonna pay that? The State of Alaska?  With what?  We have no money.  Maybe we can borrow some of our money back from AIDEA who holding Alaskans money in  huge cash reserves in their accounts. My assumption is that the cost of the pipeline before a shovel enters the ground is around $100 billion and likely much more.

By the time this is thought out, our oceans will have warmed enough to put the export facility at the north slope, thus no need for a pipe across the state.

I am guessing you are thinking the Russians are behind this survey issue right? Keep reaching.

Wow.

I mean, just wow.

Talk about missing the forest for the trees.

Hello, professor, you do not need a fancy math equation with percentage plots of house value to land value.

What you need are two words that appear nowhere in your discussion.

And those two words are Feng Shui.

About 98 percent of houses on the west side made it, intact, from 1940 to 1980, a 40 year period.

Then suddenly, in the mid to late 1980s, the demolitions began en masse, and after just three decades, many city blocks have more than 50 percent of old stock houses demolished, gone, with big new houses up, too large for the yard proportions and absent nearby trees.

Feng Shui.

Hint: The cultural/religious belief systems of a culture/ethnicity on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, it wants big new houses with bling and flash and no nearby trees and no hauntings or bad vibes of previous owners.

And also no number "6"s in the street address, but lots of 8's are good.

No need for percentage ratios...


OK , so someone's hungry and the other's got too much food ...Mankind's had thousands of years to even  things out.... Do you see any progress? The sun will die before human barriers disappear


That's how to cross creeks...in shorts and what look like wet shoes. Keeps the regular pants and boots dry.


Lana, you related to Professor Trelawney, the seer who predicted Harry Potter's premature death?


Junior cannot give preferential treatment to companies and force people to buy more expensive products.  The manufacturers using wind/solar power cannot compete.

Medically necessary services are not supposed to be bundled with private pay, that is.  For example, if a doctor refers a patient for a surgical consultation, which is what happened in Ms. Guthrie's case.

This lady will take issue with ANYTHING Trump says.  He could offer her a million dollars and she’ll find fault somewhere.  This is the kind of person that has an agenda and will do whatever it takes to cause more hate and dissection.


Ah-ha <bullsh**t> ah-choo!


It's true that Bannon isn't technically the president, but he's helping Trump become an even bigger criminal than he is, so Trump may yet catch up.


My definition of "Progressive" is favoring big government solutions, wealth transfer to achieve more equal outcomes, massive vote-buying Ponzi Schemes like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid that require more people paying in as the population ages, and programs for the poor like Housing Subsidies, the EITC, SNAP and WIC (several of which were implemented by Progressive Republicans), paying for deficits with debt instead of more taxes, because you get votes with handouts and lose votes with taxes.  Brilliant economists that the Progressives are, they also gave us birth control and abortion to pull the rug out from under the Ponzi schemes by cutting the birth rate in half.

What's your definition?

The only Republican Presidents we've had who weren't Progressives were Harding, Coolidge, and Reagan, and Reagan had to compromise with a Democrat House all 8 years.  The rise of Progressivism in this country coincided with the rise of Communism, and their planks are similar.


Oh, I know it was directed at Purg, but having asked her the same question for years and never receiving an answer, I just thought I'd put my two cents in. You'd be surprised if you  got a chance to talk to some of the nutters in my town who hold some very irrational views on race and gender, including the role of women, based on what they were taught by their pastors' and parents' religious views. Is it purely based upon that? Probably not but, in their minds, that's how they justify it.  They don't think they need to go beyond that. The Bible is All to them. Scary! And I have to live here! Love and Hugs, Empress!!!


Where is the proof Regional's plan was"markedly" different? Why not release the cost comparison? Maybe facilities should be required to turn away the patients that are NOT major trauma and life threatening. Too many people use an emergency room as an urgent care or physician office. Wait times would be less and visit cost would be less for the patient and the insurance company.


It was a sarcastic comment that I somewhat regretted after writing it. Sen. French was never in the Marine Corps. He was enrolled briefly in Marine PLC in college and tried to use that brief time when affiliated (barely) with the Corps as "military experience (" I was in the Marine Corps") during several of his campaigns. He was dragged over the talk radio coals; especially by Rick Ridell, for taking this great license.


"Wow, my comment about censorship has been censored!

I found it sickening to hear the TSN announcers this weekend gushing about a goal Matthews scored this weekend. Let look at it. All he did was extend his stick outward, the puck deflected into the net. To hear these bottom feeders announcers, it was like the second coming of Christ. Please people, settle down, it was a deflection. They were even talking about his superhuman strength to be able to accomplish such an easy deflection. Are you kidding me.
The Laff land is so focused on trying to find a hero that they are getting into the stupid territory.


"....We don't spend more on defense because we're not threatened by anybody...."

Then Canada should keep its' mouth shut when it comes to moralizing on various things..

Not picking up any of the tab, gets noticed, and gets you dropped from being taken seriously...


Thank you.  I appreciate the clarification.
I see I have a few grammatical errors in my earlier post.  Not sure if it is from my auto corrections or just me.  Probably just me.


A breeze??  You're too willing to dismiss justice for victims of sexual assault as though we as a society shouldn't be troubled by having to convict rapists because, you know, it's just the women who are the victims (mostly) so why should anyone care? The only one doing the flapdoodling here is you.


I agree--the argument about percentage of emissions is irrelevant. You can always compare yourself to the worst polluter, but that doesn't absolve you from responsibility.

I also agree with applying the golden rule with regard to future generations (I would add some non-human as well). The golden rule is a kind of empathy--you imagine how you might feel in a situation faced by others.


Evangelicals did have their candidate- Ted Cruz.  You could not change their minds. It was Ted or nobody. They did not care that Ted's wife was a bankster who worked for J.P. Morgan and currently works for Goldman Sachs. Nor did they care that Ted's wife was on the steering committee for the North American Union. And they really did not care that Ted was a Canadian up til about 2 years ago.

So.. The choice evangelicals have today- Trump who appears genuine or Hillary who has a long list of dead bodies, supports abortion, and is a loose trigger.  As the damning emails are released on the DNC and Hillary in particular, the choice is not really hard.  American or a Stalin wannabe.. Make your choice.

Good informative essay by writers Morrow and Cardoso. I don't live in Onario, but if I did, I would be voting against the Wynne Liberal government in the next election.


Ooh, an opinion by the Post.  I must immediately change my views.  Hillary could burn down an orphanage filled with transgendered children of color and beat them with Gibson guitars as they came running out and the Post would still giver her their support.


Nasty.   Just.......nasty.


Agreed.


I would immediately get a firearm if I heard my dog bark and then several shots fired. Coming upon the scene of my dead dog and an armed man would definitely make me fear for my life as well and I would not stop shooting until the threat is neutralized.


Here is an interview with Cantwell. How is he any different from another supremacist groups? He doesn't say he hates anyone.

All these groups mention want to exclude people have their group with special rules, privileges and territory. The so called white supremacists are just like all the other supremacists groups. What about all these blacks in gangs; do you listen to the lyrics of rap music? It is all about killing, violence and crime and yes supremacy !


There is little to no evidence of your claim. Millions of healthy Americans are paying a penalty rather than the thuggishly aggressive Obamacare coverage: birth control for post menopausal women, chiropractic care, smoke Enders. Meanwhile, true catastrophic care is limited because there are so few affordable options. Democrats have nothing but spending our money and dividing us: black against white, women against men, rich against poor. Medicaid expansion does nothing to improve the health of our nation, 2016 was the first year to see life expectancy decrease (!), and since the top 1%, which though despite lavish incomes both Bernie Sanders and Barack Obama managed to escape the appropriate tax rate, pay the most taxes should get the most cuts.


What are you talking about? This has been going on for years. The North Koreans shot down a US EC-121 unprovoked years ago killing 31 US servicemen. The Republican in the White House at the time did absolutely NOTHING.


Stupid pesky pop-up Robotics ad. Get rid of it ya silly newspaper company!

This article emphasizes one of the reasons why I love living in rural Alberta - no traffic. I probably drive more kilometres than drivers in Toronto or Vancouver but I would bet that I spend less time sitting in my F-150 with its engine running than do urban drivers. I am a bit surprised that Calgary's Deerfoot Trail does not appear on the 'most congested' list. I have been stuck in the 'Deerfoot parking lot' more than a few times.


She's got it backwards. It's the legislature that has acted in a way, that is inconsistent with the best financial choices. Somebody's got to be the adult here, and that's the governor.


Why is this even a story.  Change of US Attorneys are SOP when a new President and US Attorney General come into office and how long

Wow. Just, wow.


As a consumer advocate for hearing care in Canada, I've spent the last couple years working on a plan to bring high quality, affordable hearing aids and related in-person services to the Ontario marketplace.  Hearing loss affects 10% of the population but only 1 out of 5 people with hearing loss purchase hearing aids.  The industry claims that those who don't buy are just not ready.  I believe it's more a question of cost/benefit for the "private pay" consumer.  Read more at HearingClinics101.org


Well what is the conservative fun that I'm leaving out? The fairgrounds and Knight arena have country music, and country events; what exactly goes for conservative fun in a city, or what is exclusively liberal about good food, for example?


Hey ms.amylou, you are rude, you call names, you are mean spirited much of the time, as are most Trump supporters.  I haven't seen you telling your nasty buddies to stop their nasty little jabs.  You can start with Nick Travis and waveamaker. 99.9%of the comments I review on here are "mean spirited" remarks by Trump supporters so don't presume to lecture me.  Got it?
