Well, the plot thickens. It's hard to see how a civil suit issued in the U.S. can have any force here but that's for a judge (or nine of them) to decide. The only thing for sure that happened in that firefight is that a grenade was thrown that killed and injured two American soldiers and Omar Khadr was the sole survivor from inside the compound. Proving Khadr was guilty of murder in a combat zone will be devilishly hard to prove as his "confession" is probably worthless in a court of law.


Rolling blackouts
Elevators not operating in Waikiki and downtown

Don't forget the self-satisfied, so-called "principled" voters who voted for someone else they knew - or should have known - had no chance of winning, thus effectively upping the odds the Orange Stain would be elected.  And now they sit back and smugly think that because they "voted"  - but not really - they have the right to criticize.


Um, no. It is EXACTLY a Ponzi Scheme:

"A Ponzi scheme (/ˈpɒn.zi/; also a Ponzi game)[1] is a fraudulent investment operation where the operator generates returns for older investors through revenue paid by new investors, rather than from legitimate business activities or profit of financial trading....


Its a mystery.  You let in a couple of million violent, uneducated robots who are trained from birth to hate everything that isn't familiar.   Rape statistics increase
logarithmically, violence explodes, social services overrun, Jews AND Christians threatened, (Athiests too), parts of cities even the police won't go now.  What ever could be the reason for her unpopularity?  Its a mystery.


Stop the presses.  Non-fake news from the conservative right dated 2009 - "We have a much better plan that will protect more Americans, and will not require additional taxes".  Eight years later - where is this mythical plan that Trent Lott and all his friends were telling us about in '09?


jj5: if you can't see that it's trump who is fear-mongering, then best get to an optician stat.

Lynn:  we're in agreement that w/o the necessary support to provide community-based services,closingthe hospital makes little sense.  I thing we need to move the population "down site"...meaning to less restrictive, more constructive placement when appropriate.  If we don't have those facilities, they cannot be moved.  Additionally, we need to serve those hundreds (or, statewide, likely thousands) of individuals who are "on the streets" and in need of assistance.   regards, Gary


Oh don't leave out your Republican majority, McLeod.  They started the GRAB thirty-something years ago.


It is a big deal.  The expectation is 19 and 20 year olds are adults.  Consequences for their actions can be adult serious I.e., a former student-athlete, #90.

No, Trump is now saying Canada will pay for it since Mexico won't.  :)
Guess the bus loads of folks who illegally come across the border are being bused up to Canada. :)
Not a bad idea either since Canada announced they are giving 160 acres of land to anyone willing to farm in the Yukon. :)


Amanda Marshall led the Portland Federal investigation of Kitzhaber. She actually interviewed witnesses and collected documents. Rosenblum, Merkley's office, savaged her and got former ODOJ in that office in charge of the non- investigation. Complaints have been filed against several of the current crop with the OIG DOJ by whistleblowers who were retaliated against by OREGON ...e.g. The US Attorney's office in Portland LEAKED that information to Rosenblum's fiefdom. I happen to know that there is a continuing criminal investigation ongoing that cuts out the Portland US Attorney's office for just that very reason.


Good suggestions. Let me add two comments.

First,  Oxycontin is not "long-acting." It has "delayed absorption." The medication itself (oxycodone) is no more long-acting in this formulation than in any other. This has practical importance. Once the medication is fully absorbed, it will be eliminated at a more rapid rate than a truly long-acting medication. In other words, it appears to be long-acting up to the point of full absorption (and time to full absorption varies a lot), and then it becomes shorter acting. The result is a more rapid onset of withdrawal symptoms, including hyperalgesia, and greater addictive potential than with a teuly long acting drug.

Second point is that if lower doses are better for many patients, then what about the lowest dose? The lowest risks of constipation, sedation, overdose, addiction and other problems are when opioid drugs are avoided entirely. Learning how to do so in practice, whenever possible, should be the top priority in ending this epidemic.


Anyone who finds free speech unacceptable is free to leave our country.


The NCCM is the same group that provided input to the TDSB that resulted in a definition of Islamaphobia calling any criticism of Islamic culture or politics "Islamaphobic" - the TDSB called it an accident... right. Assertive political Islam is a threat to Canadian values of gender equality, freedom of expression, and freedom of sexual orientation - they encourage regressive cultural practices that are synonymous with authoritarian regimes all over the world, without exception. In Canada the niqab is about freedom and modesty but everywhere else in the world, it must be worn under penalty of lashings or worse, go figure.
The reason the niqab is not common in Canada is because Canada has evolved into a modern civilized progressive country. The niqab is only common in countries that are regressive, misogynist, and authoritarian - there are no exceptions. Canada isn't different than countries with the niqab, Canada is civilized, period.


Thanks to Fire, Sheriff and Clallam County PUD for their service on Christmas, taking them from family and friends. Repair of the Old Olympic Highway pole lasted well into the evening. We appreciate you!


Wow, I have not heard of this before. It's a little bit frightening, isn't it? There is a very real possibility that that guy could be elected.
Here in Ontario, we elect goofy mayors all the time-not just in Toronto. They are entertaining, but one has to balance that against the damage they may do.


Another meaningless meeting and announcements from OPEC. Talk about capping Nigeria only after the country demonstrates 90 days of stability. Very difficult to prove/disprove and open to interpretation. Look for OPEC and Nigeria to drag out the implementation of the cap by a year or more.  Libya is off the hook and continue to produce as much as they want.  Saudi's announce their intention to further reduce  exports, however make the announcement at a time when exports typically begin to decline as  refineries start retooling for winter.

OPEC/NOPEC can no longer influence the price of oil.  Markets and investors see through their hollow announcements, assessments and forecasts.


Beautifully written, Austin, with feeling, sensitivity, and balance.  A most fitting tribute to Willie and the Man.  Roots like these bode well for Coach Taggart and his new team.  Thanks so much.


Why do they refer to these types of attacks as "cowardly?"  They should refer to them as "brazen."


I agree 100% with Ms Maher's views here.

But I would like to warn her about a present danger to Wikipedia.

The Wikipedia model of uncritical reliance on published media sources has left it vulnerable to abuse in
the various situations where main stream media collude to mislead the public.  Partisans and ideologues winnow the media, readily finding 'sources' that sustain their prevarications.  Wiki editors don't have the time or resources to fact check and the result is falsehood entering the public mind.


as much as I agree with all the commentators, there is no hope here for 6 more years. JT is no idiot....the fact is that there will always be more "poor" people than "rich" people, and the "poor" love this guy. There is no bette way to stay in power than to pander to the mass poor


"Non-CPAs" do know what an audit is.
It's not only monitoring or observing.


I would say yes! It absolutly IS the govmints job. I donate every year on April 15th. Much rather see the money go to Texas to help Americans than Israel or anywhere else. Do you not agree?


Perhaps you make a very large voluntary donation so you and the five other people could continue watching such Canadian cultural triumphs as "Little Mosque on the Prairie" and "Mansbridge One on One".
The rest of us are rather tired of the endless river of new and increasing taxes.


The first claim is an outright lie. The Republican platform for 1860 says no such thing:

http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/?pid=29620

The rest of the post is just silly garbage.


so very sad...


Excellent post Chuck T, I am sure JT discussed saving middle class Canadian jobs while flying in the Aga Khan's private helicopter. This had to be a topic of conversation somewhere between Canada single handedly saving the world from climate change and Grandma's living in energy poverty (and being concerned about having to eat pet food). How could she not draw upon her off-shore trust foundation as everyone else does? Butts will have to explain this trick to starving seniors.


I don't doubt they preferred to keep him but it's not like trading him would have been some walk in the park.

Even if they got an offer they liked he has total control over where he goes and doesn't have to accept a trade anywhere he doesn't want to go to..


How can people condemn something if people don't know what they are condemning.  Is there an agreement on what exactly islamaphobia means?  Believe me, I'm no islamaphobe (whatever that means) but to claim someone is for suggesting an alternative is precisely the fear some of us have about this motion....  This debate reminds of the debate about BLM.  Look how well that goes for anyone daring to question or object.


I remember when it first opened (as the Kahala Hilton), they tried to keep us young folks off the beach.  But this was right about the time the high-water law was upheld.  They failed in that, but succeeded in making their two manmade peninsulas kapu.  Despite a number of different owners and the passage of let's say 50+ years, the song remains the same.  So we, the public, all need to join in on the chorus!


Did you read the Jonah Goldberg article below?  Pretty scathing about Clinton.  You will never read a similarly scathing piece about a 'conservative' in the DC.  Same goes for Jenkins.  Not claiming that ADN doesn't have a leftward bent, but at least they try to provide a little balance.


I am once again perplexed on what they base this on.  None of the banks, nor any level of government, know the level of foreign buying in the Ontario, let alone the Toronto market.  That is why in the budget announcement they are allocating funds to actually determine this.  If you look at solds in C3 and C4 right after the announcement nothing has stopped, because...drum roll please... it is actually families buying these homes and moving into them.  we are not Vancouver here in Toronto, so stop this nonsense!


What has yet to be done is to have a statute of Pre at Hayward field, not a picture, but a statute.  Bowerman is at Hayward and Pre also should be.  On the base of the statute should be his quote; To Give less than your best.......".  This is long overdue.


The dreamer of Kai Lung, Bramah,  also related..."It is said with reason, "During the earthquake men speak the truth." (The Mirror of Kong Ho).
I wonder if more earthquake would have revealed more truth. Certainly the people can only learn when the facts are full and, in their season, harvested. Sure do hope this event serves as a lesson to the legislature.
Don't think I had encountered Bramah previously. If space aliens ever arrive, I hope our experts read him and his account of the Chinese man of much intelligence encountering London and British ways, including cricket.
You meet people who look like  you, and act like rational creatures, and yet, upon further examination, you see that they are less rational, and more like lost daydreamers whose interpretations of reality defy belief.

Hello Alceste,

No, the two examples I gave were NOT disingenuous, they were both ACTUAL posts that got deleted. One was posted by a guy whose board name contains the word "Toronto" and one was by a guy whose board name contains the word "Doctor". And the inappropriateness of their being deleted was noted on the board by multiple other post writers, in each case, who wrote in protest about the ridiculousness of the deletions occurring.

That is what you get when you empower people with the idea that they should be the censors of unwanted (by them) speech. That is what you get.


Exactly.  The word we're looking for here is "obtuse."


You forgot bubba & your savior Omaba


and its pretty obvious who the posters are regardless of any article post thier ignorance on every subject based on thier hate for anything thier lunatic left bias does not agree with!,, oh right i see you are here alceste!

War will break out only if NK attacks first, which won't happen.
China won't allow it, the ruling communist party has too much to lose. They don't know what an unconventional president like Trump will do in a war situation.
It's better not to find out.


Isn't the issue less that there is an average but that there was a guaranteed return? The PERS guide says that prior to 2003, higher earnings were passed through to members. So then you have  a system where earnings might be 16%,0%,16%,0% which would have an average earnings of 8% but a average deficit of 4%. Giving it all in the good years and covering the bad years is a sure way to rapid ruin.


“Only in periods of ‘irrational exuberance’ such as the roaring twenties or dotcom bubble did US equities trade higher,” the analysts conclude.

Citizens United involved neither a big corporation nor an instance of anyone "bribing" a candidate.  You haven't read the case, have you?  Citizens United, a non-profit, wanted to show a documentary critical of Hillary Clinton, and to advertise the film during TV broadcasts.  McCain-Feingold prohibited any such speech within 60 days of an election.  Given the First Amendment ("Congress shall make no law . . .  abridging the freedom of speech"), Scalia's position was not only reasonable but right.  And it certainly wasn't an instance of him unreasonably ruling in favor of a "big corporation."  You really haven't a clue about what you're talking about.


Has anyone given any thought to what the adult criminal justice system would do with these kids? Put them in prison alongside adult cons? Get real. Think this through. Having some long term supervision is warranted. But where and how they spend their teen years is critical. They will come out of the system someday!


Of course he is going to say Kasich, he has no chance of winning thus covering is a-s until the last minute. In addition, I am a republican but would sooner vote for Gumby then vote for Young. PS - Yes on Prop 8.....


Archaeology shows idols in Cannan up to the Babylonian exile.  None after the return. The Exile is also where the Law books of the Torah were probably consolidated.  They were not written by Moses and there were only few in the party that left Egypt, went to Horeb (not Sinai) - where the 12 pillars were found, and then went to Israel, which was not overcome in any sense.  Of course, the anti-Modernists blanch at all that.  They have their right to be wrong, but not to insist that their error is the only Truth.


Do you feel that fish hook deeply embedded in your cheek?


ince one of Trump's first acts in office will be to approve the Keystone Pipe with 25% more new capacity than Transmountain, there is no economic need for the TM pipe until well into the 2020's. By then EV's and transpo efficiencies will likely have eliminated the market for dirty expensive Tar - an iffy investment indeed. If Kinder was required to reroute the pipe to clear sailing from a Roberts Bank terminal instead of Burnaby there might be an argument for the pipe as an environmental win win.

The tankers can route through US waters between Lummi and Orcas Islands scaring American whales already used to massive shipping traffic to Seattle.

These two consider to use HART's numbers with no context. Imagine we are talking about a bridge in Waianae and you ask me, what percentage of the cars on Oahu will use this bridge daily? That is a dumb way to decide if the bridge is useful or not. While rail might reduce overall island trips by two percent, that factors in people riving from kahuku to laie, miles from rail. What matters is how much will rail reduce congestion along its route? The answer to that is about 15 percent, comparable to when UH is not in session.


Why would the FBI investigate non-classified leaks dummy? There's no crime being committed. Leaks are a part of every single administration. This one is just so overwhelmingly poorly managed there are a lot more than usual. You don't have a single clue what you are talking about. Typical Trump know nothing cult member.


If ever there was an article that should have been vetted by a farmer, this is it. While interesting and well-written in general, a farmer see the holes, such as. "Josh Proctor tended the rows of tiny shoots poking from his cornfield at all hours of the early summer night, picking his way through the dark to check on irrigation channels easily choked by trash and weeds in a season of unusually abundant rainfall." One doesn't irrigate tiny shoots of corn with gravity flow irrigation. The corn has to be tall enough to not drown. Then there is this, which even a city person should have thought through: "He had spent the winter using borrowed tractors to plant corn, alfalfa and wheat on about 300 acres." You don't plant crops in the winter in Colorado. I do thank the writer for trying to get the word out. Just a little more attention to detail would have helped.


Leech for BM?  Perhaps while she's building her wall she will mandate all women, people of colour, jews, muslims, the disabled and veterans to be removed from Canada?


Just as an aside, I have always wondered why food is less subject to claims of appropriation. We all eat and enjoy each other's foods these days and I know of very few people who stick exclusively to one cuisine. Isn't food preparation a type of art? Why is it exempt?

Of course they have no plans to be the league doormat,  but they will be, Vancouver will give them a run for their money though, and John Scott can resurrect his all star career too.


Drug trials should be sequestered and not conducted by those who stand to profit.

Our government should insist that in order to gain approval at least some trials must be conducted in Canada paid for by the sponsor but arranged through a disinterested third party perhaps a crown corporation or non-profit established for this purpose.


Unfortunately for you, epigenetics says something totally different.  The sex you get at conception does not necessarily stay with you.  God's created order is not exclusively binary.

Despite being an ardent environmentalist, I favor shale gas fracking for many reasons.
- Abundant shale gas reserves makes coal as a power plant fuel very uneconomical and thus a good "bridge" fuel to meet power demands during the time necessary for alternative energy solutions continue to improve and are implemented
- Natural gas produces 50% more energy per equivalent of CO2 released into the atmosphere than coal
- Natural gas does not have environmental issues with mercury and sulfur in the stack gas and heavy metals in slag as does coal.  Even if mercury is removed from gas emissions via scrubbing, mercury along with cadmium, lead, etc. in the residual coal slag is a long term environmental problem as evidenced by breaks in impoundment ponds
- Deaths associated with coal extraction exceed deaths associated with shale gas extraction
- The shale gas water issues are gradually being mitigated with continuously improving technology and field experience.


You've asked this question 3 or 4 times and haven't offered your own proposal.  Thus, can we assume your posts are meaningless?  How about making anyone point of entry into Canada a point of entry where the law does apply.  Right now as  I understand it, refugees can be claim asylum by entering not an official border point.  Easy fix...make setting foot in Canada regardless of how or where an official entry point and thus they would be turned back to the US.

This is a boring racist rant that goes on and on.  You appear to be incurious of history.  I am white and feel no personal guilt about the situation.  I like to know historical facts - "not alternative facts."Why do you feel guilty?  Could it be because your life has not worked out and you need someone to blame.  Maybe you have been actively bullying minorities and the article touched a nerve?


We've been through this before, Buddy!  YOU show me your info that demonstrates all those bishops who don't support Amoris Laetitia.  And I'll show you some bishops who are receiving less and less support from their parishioners.  This is the age of the Laity---and no bishop can demand anyone to open their wallet/purse and give them money.  They're also probably receiving lots of mail----the kind that they don't want.


Down here in Florida, a friend just turned 65 so he could get his knee replacement and not have it bankrupt him. That's a long(er?) time to wait.


Please, your response is simply stupid. The KKK has always been right-wing. When the Democratic party of the late 19th and early 20th centuries was most racist it was a right-wing party. The early Republican party was left-wing--the anti-slavery party of Lincoln. Pro-slavery was establishment and therefore, right-wing. Anti-slavery was anti-establishment and therefore, if a political tendency must be chosen it would be more left-wing. The U.S. Nazi party was right-wing. George Lincoln Rockwell's ANP was founded in 1960 on the ideas Adolf Hitler espoused. FDR disdained Nazism while Henry Ford who rain for the GOP nomination in 1924 and was a Nazi-sympathizer like Charles Lindbergh.
The reality is that poor people--and Blacks are over represented in this category due to racism--are both the most victimized as well as the biggest perpetrators of crime. White collar crime costs $300-$600 billion per year. Wealthy white people commit the majority of those costly crimes.


Don't try to justify Trump's abuse of power, try to switch the topic to Hillary.
Truly pathetic...


if your vaping, you are likely below the boiling point of the chemical, 205 degrees. Im set for 191.


Nothing you posted is "evidence." All conjecture. Cmon - if it was such a problem then post a damn link from a reputable source. Shouldn't be that hard, right?


I don't think you understand what I'm trying to say.  Sometimes, it doesn't take *anything* to be charged and/or convicted with a felony.  Get railroaded by the "justice" system, lose your right to vote.  It's that easy.


The illuminti? I knew it! :)

Or nobody likes me. Which would be a bit odd, since I'm not aware of giving anyone a reason to dislike me. Oh well, that's life.


So, the bishops declined to talk together about Amoris Laetitia.  We, I don't know that I phrased that quite right, but someone decided that they wouldn't talk about it.

Bishop Christopher Coyne of Burlington, Vt., "chairman of the communications committee of the bishops' conference"  ... "said the topic was not on the agenda of the executive session at the fall meeting."  More, the bishops really do not have a venue for this discussion since presentations at the annual meeting are limited to 15-20 minutes.  More,  and I just love this, quoting Coyne and whoever wrote this story: "There would be a divisive conversation around" the document because in an open forum it would be very difficult to protect the discussion from "those who would want to read it one way and those who would want to read it another way."

Open forum and the expectation is that there would be different opinions expressed and that would be bad.

These are grown-ups, right?

I can also say Sharia law, burka, honor killings, Assad soldiers raping women, Isis raping women.


We are lucky that Canada is geographically situated above predominantly Roman Catholic Spanish speaking populations and not Religous Ideological Muslim populations.


"WE" didn't.  And electing President Obama was the closest thing to a revolution we could have in this country.  He was that-much different from his predecessor.


Just admit it, you lawmakers are only focusing on the politics of this embarrassment. There's no concern about the real people who'll benefit (or not) from your political plan.  Obamacare, though imperfect and needing fixes, is WAY better than any GOP plan slapped together to favor the wealthy and to erase Obama's name.  Drain the swamp!


Hardly the sort of discussion to have over lunch in public. De mortuis ......

How many times are you going to repost this piece of sedition.


It's a term used by Hispanics for so-called white people in general.


Your comment has just what to do with the points I made?  I don't shout in Church, I don't speak loudly in a library, and I don't do a whole lot of things because they would be disruptive, disrespectful, and/or socially inappropriate.  None of that, none, limits my right to privacy - nor yours.  You are making sorry mistakes in your comparisons because your clear goal is to spread hate of HRC, and not to engage is a dialogue.  We got it.


How does a comment that has 64 reactions, (54 likes and 2 funny vs 8 sad or disagree) be not meet civility standards?  I guess some people just can't handle reality.


The point is this, if you are going to compare them to team's from the past then at least compare them to similar teams.  Guess what even teams that don't make the playoffs go through similar stretches.  So while you only want to look at the teams in contention, there are far more teams who miss the playoffs with these kind of streaks.

I am not saying its time to panic, I am saying its time to accept them as they are and not what they record says.  The Rockies clearly have played over their heads this first half of season. Doesn't mean they are not a good team because they are.  They just are not a World Series contender or an elite team like the records suggested. But they are a wild card team (probably 1 and done). The offense has been better since April but its still in the middle to bottom third of baseball. And without a trade or two, the offense will struggle as it is constructed now. Tapia hitting 5th was just awful last night.


The illusions just keep continuing. You can't spur innovation with legislation. They sure tried with their biofuels mandate though, didn't they? You don't make something cheaper by increasing demand. Supply and demand.Want less expensive? Increase supply and lo and behold it puts that something within everyone's grasp. A lesson apparently lost on the health care insurance bill designers).You sure as heck don't legislate climate change either, but they just keep right on trying, don't they? Despite evidence. People are just plug N-play, right guys? traditions, culture, none of that matters, just a warm body in the state to vote and pay, pay, pay. And then, the biggest illusion of them all, that there are actually two parties. I miss facts, honesty, integrity, truth.


"...so many people are unhappy where they are...”

Yup, that's true. I applaud those willing to make a change (wow, all those hours of daily commuting is a killer, for sure, and plenty of people around our new home in Chilliwack BC hit the highway every morning.) And yet...

I know from bittersweet experience that wherever you go...well, there you are. Look in the mirror. You can change your circumstances. Sure, it's sometimes hard. But can you change YOURSELF? That's even harder, some would say "impossible" and, in many cases, wouldn't be wrong.

So, before you give it all up and move to that sweet haven, that golden destination on the far horizon (Baja, Mexico, Costa Rica, or--in this case--Cape Breton) think long and hard. And, believe me, when you are under duress and stressed to the max, simply thinking clearly is the toughest thing you may ever do. Not doing so sometimes means packing up the seeds of their future failures with them when they go...


High student absenteeism must reflect low parental interest in the education of their children. In a better world, such parents would not have children. An uneducated child is an abused child through neglect.

Caldwell willfully fails to understand the one main fallacy of government. Allocating more money for rail will not fix the problem. The more money you throw at a shoddy, over budget, government project, the more expenses will rise to spend all the money.

City should have made it Crystal Clear to Caldwell and HART there is no more money.  Do what ever it take to get the job done with available funds. No excuses. Reduce costs in every area which would not interfere with construction quality and safety.

Putin is not Trumps buddy. Putin wanted a destabilized America to allow him a free ride as he rebuilds his dream Russia of yesteryear.

Trump is simply calling Putins bluff, you know.. the guy who is actually parading around his nukes and talking them up?

This chucklehead received over $64,000 in bonuses while overseeing $2 billion in cost overruns at 4 VA hospitals. He then retired before he could be fired, and is now receiving his full pension. I'm quite curious how this leech ever ascended to his position in the first place!


“effective tools to connect with the American people and I think pets help humanize the presidency.”
It's going to take a lot more than a pet to humanize Donald.


That's one of those 'odds' questions that is interesting to speculate about.  When someone is killed or injured by either the speeding car or use of the illegal firearm, however, the 'odds' don't really matter to the person who was injured or killed.  Then we will have the absolute certainty of the armchair police officers with 20-20 hindsight that the other possibility was the proper choice.  And we will also be guaranteed the views that "the police are all intentional killers" contrasted by those who assert that "the police can do no wrong".   I can predict the names on these threads for both of those positions right now.


Tolls are the future as well as private ownership of those roads..  With governments running large deficits, they can't afford to build or maintain them anymore.   If Canada continues to grow it's population we will need a lot more of them.


As I said, buy bank shares - then you can get back, in the form of dividends, any fees you have to pay.  Learn how the system works  and stop being so jealous.  Jealousy will get you nowhere!


Sure, making batters stand in the box and making pitchers pitch will help and so will reducing TV timeouts & pitching changes. Nothing will happen of any significance. Somebody will have to give up something and neither side will budge


Part of this story runs counter to many of my own experiences in wilderness areas of Alaska.  I had a number of close encounters with wolves, both during summer backpacking trips and while traveling by dog team in the winters.  Wolves are naturally curious and will sometimes follow a person or even a dog team with no indication of aggressive intent.  While observing a female wolf with pups I had an adult male walk up behind me within three feet.  I did not detect its presence until I happened to turn around and found myself looking into a pair of yellow rimmed eyes.  The wolf simply turned and walked back into the willows.  I know of only one documented fatal attack by wolves on a human in Alaska.  Far more people are attacked and seriously injured or killed by moose or bears.  You are much more at risk of being attacked by a dog than you are by a wolf.


Romero spent the morning before his death at a beach retreat with Opus Dei. They were scarcely his enemy. His own confessor was OD. Maradiaga, a Salesian, is not in Opus Dei.


My comment is not that hard to understand. If we force a 12 year old rape victim to carry a fetus to term, then we have a collective responsibility for the victim and her child.

What don't you understand about that?


Vague insinuations?  The abuse of power taking place should deeply trouble every American citizen.  There is an absolute madman in the White House. This is becoming more apparent as each day passes.  This should be way beyond the  "stand by your man" stubborn mentality that persists on the part of his base.  Trump and his unstable administration have ALL Americans in harms way.  This includes our national security and our economy.  He insults the world, promotes his brand incessantly, and he lies, lies, and lies some more - every single day.  if we don't already have enough to impeach him, we will soon.  The sooner the better!


You can also tune into old George Wallace speeches on YouTube and get sentimental and nostalgic bout his racism. But why would you? Especially when you elected a guy in 2016 who was caught red handed by the Department of Justice committing illegal ant-black housing discrimination. You got your segregationist president after all.


Interestingly, there are many 'episcopal functions other than the 'sacramental'.

'lay' people are increasingly delegated by the Bishop as parish administrators, communion ministers, teachers in the RCIA program, marriage preparation, and more and more other things.

At present, we consider the sacrament of 'ordination' to be required for somme sacraments (not all) and particularly for presiding at the Eucharistic Liturgy and consecrating the Eucharist.

And we restrict 'ordination' only to 'clerics' – those who are male, and who commit to a full-time, life-long, celibate life style.

That is the requirement that  seems to be coming into question. Could 'ordination' and the 'job' of priest be given to a 'non-cleric', a 'lay' person? One who is not necessarily a life-long, full-time 'professional' ??


Apparently the 1st Amendment's provision to prohibit government from regulating speech does not apply to public school districts. Without freedom of (deplorable) speech (deplorable) fascism rushes in to fill the vacuum.

PLEASE - I don't really care whether it is the feds or provinces that "pay" - it is actually - NEWS FLASH - the Canadian tax payer. Instead of this tiresome circus might it be possible to have a single efficient policy for all of Canada - based on modern data base systems and Internet logistics, including patient communications and file access.


Thank you for putting your hat in the ring, Ron.


Kendall, let's not presume his guilt anymore than others might dismiss the possibility of it.


The apartments had been given access on ECA’s 2015 rendition prior to the fire.  Also, Richardi and Johnson had begun negotiations so that Richardi's property could continue the same access as it has been used for over 70 years. The same accesses could easily be had on ECA’S current rendition. The street on the west side of the parking lot remains the same.


Not really. If you were a guy it would be obvious.


Andrew and LBJ both give their approval.

It will be an interesting book when it comes out.

It's unfortunate that the DNC is or was completely under the control of the Clintons.    Joe Biden would have made a better candidate than Hillary.


To a degree, however it is true Antifa is funded by wealthy individuals and there are links of  rioters and protesters being funded by Soros.


I am from Nevada, USA.. I started on NewLife Clinic Parkinsons Disease Herbal formula treatment in September 2016, i read alot of positive reviews on their success rate treating Parkinsons disease through their PD Herbal formula and i immediately started on the treatment. Just 11 weeks into the Herbal formula treatment I had great improvements with speech and coordination, my hand tremors seized and the stiffed, rigid muscle had succumbed. I am unbelievably back on my feet again, this is a breakthrough for all Parkinsons sufferers, visit NewLife Herbal Clinic official website www. newlifeherbalclinic. com or email info@ newlifeherbalclinic. com.

I hope not.  I have to work to be able to live and put food on my table.


I'm not sure what you mean by intellectual. Let me try again.
We have 2 forms of the Roman rite, the ordinary and the extraordinary. The Roman rite is practiced whenever either is celebrated. That is an example of "unity of practice" that has "various ways" of being performed. Communion in one form is the same communion as in the other.

Your questions are all good ones, and I have no idea if I can answer them.:
with marriage, the differences between Poland and Malta are fewer than the differences between the extraordinary and ordinary forms imo. If I am right, it is an example of what Francis refers to in AL. There is no disruption in communion if there is none between the two forms of the Roman Rite.
AL is in a certain sense a collaborative effort between the synod and the Pope. I am not sure what you are asking.
RC teaching on divorce has long distinguished us from most other Christians. I don't see why a deeper understanding would impede ecumenism.


Comey named them. Works for me. After all people believe him.


heart? (ha!). Not one word of compassion from you about the 40,000 displaced? Or houses burnt down? Or the cattle and horses killed by fire? Nope just a dumb comment about the PM who has sent millions of dollars to help the displaced, sent Canadian troops to help fight the fire, and will now raise more dollars.
And your only comment is about somebody's socks. Sad. Very sad.


The AED is not useful for Cardiac Arrest, it won't even permit a shock.  It will just tell you to start or continue CPR which the most important thing. New CPR training is only chest compressions now and no breaths so there is no fear of mouth to mouth contact.

AEDs do serve a purpose and if available a big plus!


Nickelback gets no respect. They are an incredibly successful band from small-town Alberta who have had enormous international triumphs and have made millions doing it. k.d. lang got similar treatment from the Canadian music fans. I don't understand it.


Do the Alaskan Legislators understand these complicated oil and gas laws they pass for the people or the major oil companies or oil and gas monopolies?

Maybe the people of Alaska should have a new law that provides that ten Alaska University Professors shall give them all a pop quiz on each Bill after they pass it and a majority of the Alaska legislature must pass this quiz with at least a D- or 70% before the Governor can sign it into law? Can we hear any yea's or nay's on this?


Other than Gas plant you mean? Other than Ehealth?


If you are under the influence of opiates at work, why does it matter if you have a prescription?  They are just as hazardous.  The same for pot.  You can get a prescription for medical marijuana.


Really? He had an outstanding warrant? What are the chances of that?


I thought the same after looking at the on-line information.


Ms. Markam, Your ability to pin assertions on Mr. Landry is no less than stunning! I read his very brief letter chastising climate change deniers and saw no claims of SUVs causing climate change or cars causing hurricanes or proposals to pass resources and tons of money to less developed countries. The only evident hysteria was in your response. May I suggest a mirror?


Canada seems to be on a serious learning curve re this rotten issue, but here's a tip. Put these interlopers in a detention centre (ideally on an offshore island as Australia does) and don't let them wander the streets on a salary paid for by JT and co--it'll end in tears.


This is a dreadful idea. Pilots who have been reduced to 'flight managers' who basically operate the computer controls in a cockpit will be at a real disadvantage in a real-world emergency.

This problem of poorly-trained pilots was one of the causes of the Asiana Airlines crash in San Francisco in 2013.

Pilots need more, not less, cockpit time and more flying in the often difficult and confusing environment they frequently work in.


But there has also been an unwritten code that says premiers don’t make direct attempts to steal business away from another province.

How about Ontario's sabotage of interprovincial free trade for 150 years? Maybe not direct theft but much more effective than Mr Wall's effort


Local news seems to be consistent with people falling here and there and becoming a fatality. Awfully strange times indeed.


More wasteful spending on those who refuse to help themselves.

Sounds like he lives by his own code of, "The rules do not apply to me."

Memo to Senator Kruse:

What part of  "Do not touch women at work and do not smoke in specific areas" do you not understand?

 If you have been warned not to touch women at work then yes, a "side hug" or any physical contact is inappropriate.  Plus it is not your decision as to what is inappropriate.  If a woman complains about the physical contact you apparently are initiating with her and you receive a warning not to continue to do it...and you continue to do it....what makes you reach the conclusion your choices are acceptable?

What a guy!


So what happens when it's exposed that the Trump campaign was in direct contact with the Russians while this was going on?

The electors need to do their job and vote for someone besides Trump and Clinton.  Maybe John McCain.  Or John Kasich.  http://www.hamiltonelectors.com/


Anti-democracy?!? While the Hillary protesters are STILL rioting and advocating for him to "go away" and for her to be named President.


The last President to use Executive Privileged  to block Court testimony was Obama when he blocked testimony in the 'Fast and Furious' investigation of his administration supplying automatic weapon to Mexican Drug Lords that resulted in the deaths of two US Border Agents.


Such a remarkable woman :) I bought a rug off craigslist from a woman who noticed my Suquamish sweatshirt and asked if I knew the George’s. She then told me a story about how Martha taught her mom how to live off the land to feed them through the Great Depression, even teaching her how to bake bread in the sand and identify which berries are safe and how to gather various clams and know when the seasons for such things were. Another man told me she’d quietly leave food on his moms doorstep because his mom was too prejudiced to openly accept food from an Indian, but she had three kids and her husband was dead. So many stories non-natives told me of this woman when I worked in the Suquamish museum :)


lol...Right! I'm sorry if you can't handle the truth Dick.


Ralston had almost 4600 votes out of about 10,000 cast for his ward election.  Those people *are still voting* and those that still feel Ralston was an a necessary and important part of the Council still have a majority on the Council itself, without even commenting on the mayor's possible tolerances of his presence or the presence of his less flamboyant though still backwards looking politics.  None of this is over, folks, especially if they manage to jam the Glenwood agenda through before there is another chance for an election.  The 700K study for the CLT parking garage is literally just the tip of the bulldozer.


"In Canada, progress of women into working life simply halted. Around 2007, the percentage of women in the labour force stopped growing, and has stalled for a decade, at about eight percentage points below the rate for men."

Goodness gracious! My suggestion is that, after this huge front page article is digested by Ottawa, there be a change to our criminal code.

Obviously there is still far too much in the way of women having a tendency to be more likely to be stay at home parents, and there is still far too much in the way of women having the financial means, derived from their parents or spouse or their own endeavors, to not have to work.

The time has come in Canada to start jailing stay-at-home moms. The state should take possession of their kids. Same treatment, jail time, for women of wealthy homes who do not work.

Ottawa needs to make this a national emergency. If women are not equal in numbers to men in the workplace by 2020, start using firing squads against men as a fix.


Effete psuedonyms are preferred by some writers.


Perhaps if you had read any meaningful or substantive theology books--instead of Ray Brown, Charlie Curran, Hans Kung and the like you might know the answer to your very question.

The Church is called the "Bride of Christ" and "She" because the Church is a women. The priest represents the Bridegroom Christ to his Bride the Church. Christ is male, the Church is female--therefore the priest must be male.  The Mass is analogous to a wedding feast--but it is the wedding feast of the Lamb. The servers are analogous to the groomsmen at a wedding which is why they were traditionally male. A priest when celebrating Mass is not acting as a member of the baptized, but as the head of the body, as Christ is head of the body.

The larger point I want to make is that the debate about women priests is as much a debate as to the nature of the priesthood as it is who can exercise it.  Those who support women's ordination tend to have a Protestantized notion of ministry.

Idiots like these give hunters a bad name. A reward might cause someone to come forward. They probably bragged about it.


I never said anything about not wanting Mr/Ms Manning in prison.  In fact, I agree that Mr/Ms Manning should be in prison instead of making a name for him/herself.  I don't have a problem with the pardon as that's a President's prerogative.  But, I don't agree with the government indiscriminately spying on us.  If they have warrants for specific people, then sure.  When I was in the military, that was considered a big no-no.  Times may have changed but we're supposed to be a free and open society.


In Homer the Northern Lights have been very white on the horizon and active and I have been looking for more activity even though the forecast in our area is not high.


Thanks. There was a discussion about Vegas trading Fleury but I think his Stanley Cup work and the total class he displayed during the playoff run are huge factors in his becoming the foundation of the Vegas franchise. He is a marketing department's dream and I believe he will provide at least two seasons of solid work for Vegas. He will probably be worth 10,000 General Admission tickets a year sold to Penguin fans visiting the casinos. Looks like win-win for all involved. Happy Father's Day and enjoy the summer.


You keep parroting the same refrain "they have been doing it in public schools for the last twenty years" What you ignore is that it was kept secret ..the public was not informed, or you would have had the same reaction two decades ago... non-muslim teachers did not like it, teachers old enough to remember the banning of the lord's prayer, certainly did not expect it to be replaced by muslim prayers. The fact that it was going on for twenty years does not make it more palatable so stop.


Okay so I checked, the  list in the main page for Pant's on Fire were Trump and his representatives. This is not equivalence here...sorry.


Howard Stern sums up Roger Waters quite nicely.


Merge the K12 niteschool with the non-credit UH programs. Not only are they somewhat redundant but they are failing in their mission of remedial education of adults.

Many community college students spend two years and a lot of money doing remedial work before they can actually take college courses. Make it free and allow then to take free courses for credit if they can pass the placement exam for the course.

Colleges do that now for high school students. Why not for their own students who are taking remedial courses? Community "School" and not Community College where students can get a GED, an Associate of Arts, vocational training certification, and non-credit classes for seniors and the business community.


These numbers seem more useful...

"Walker's positive rating dropped from 43 percent to 32 percent "
"Walker's negative rating spiked to 35 percent from 23 percent over the same period"

https://www.adn.com/politics/2016/10/07/alaska-gov-walkers-popularity-dives-sharply-following-pfd-veto-new-survey-shows/

It seems that the ADN is attempting to pretend that Alaskans support the theft of the PFD with articles like this.  Yes, a tiny percentage of Alaskans, 72% of the people that gave him an A support taking the PFD. Big Surprise, People who have not been paying attention believe corporate propaganda.

As far as our savings dwindling, the Fund manager appointed by Walker only gained 1% overall this year, actually losing 5% on the stock market when the market did well.  The average is 6.4%, so the new manager failed to gain the state $2.5 Billion that should have been in the earnings reserve.  Walker has created the situation he warns about by hiring this inexperienced manager.


The rest is taxes.


Leah, you didn't marry your sibling. You don't have to compete with him for approval.


Boots, I highly recommend you fly to Thailand and get yourself the "Caitlyn Peter Jenner" VIP procedure and enlist in the US military when you return to show Trump you're not gonna take it! LOL


Sounds like special treatment by the way the article is written.  The officer should be treated like any other citizen.  But, you can't always go by media reporting for getting the facts.


But again, Congress is so corrupt and incompetent, Congress should be impeached also. We have a pay to play government, just like the ones in countries  we destabilized, mounted coups and assassinated, in order to emplace and prop up, bribed regimes, tasked with keeping the Natives under control, as mega corporations move in and steal others resources, minerals and lands.. Hide your heads in the sand and drink your pioneering colonial heads in the sand, but America spends $trillions to invade and occupy as the corporations spends nothing but makes billions off the $trillions the American taxpayers pay for. Afghanistan has trillions in resources the corporations and their political puppets covet and don't care how many people die in order for them to profit. Iraq gave the anglo oil companies their contracts after Saddam was put to death that he had denied them. Any one of the many countries in South America, Africa, Mideast and Asia, that America changed governments, are pay to play.


Hmmm, you bring up 'home of the brave' in the national anthem (which, ironically, is set to the tune of a British drinking song - historical irony for you) gives me an idea.  There is zero reason for the image attached to mascots like "Warrior" or "Brave" to be an Indian caricature.  Other schools have changed images without changing mascot names.

Why not hark back to Francis Scott Key's poem and the Revolutionary War.  The image could be of some man in a late 18th century tri-corner hat.  I think it could work.


So he has money to hire an attorney, but no money to just clean up his yard, really?

 who, when are exposed and prosecuted ; spend time at the government "country club"
with many benefits not afforded the "  casual, plain, citizen" violator.. The F.B.I. are tasked to investigate and present the case to the federal prosecutor , charged with conditions of the Espionage Act. The maximum penalty is rarely received; and sanctions are generally applied.
     President Trumps' action to enforce federal is required. Unfortunately, THE F.B.I. has no OVERSIGHT by an agency of the departments' of the federal government , subsequently  Special Prosecutors' are appointed to the task at the direction of President to REVIEW the case(s) and submit to Congress/President. ONLY IN AMERICA....


Perhaps prisoners should have the choice of life imprisonment or the death penalty. Some might consider life in prison to be the more cruel and unusual punishment. In fact at some point  in the future I predict that a prisoner will request a medically-assisted death,  arguing that the depression associated with endless imprisonment is intolerable.

It means nothing to me either way.

Sad, but true.
You are correct.
The evidence all points to what you have stated.
Even Pope Francis agrees with you: he said that gay men should not be ordained to the priesthood.
But the liberals here will engage in cognitive dissidence because they can't bear the truth.

It may prove irrelevant for services it houses, but judging from the RG's photo, this "remodeled" building is a forbidding architectural disaster (akin to Junction City's psychiatric hospital).  Were I a prospective patient, I'd hesitate to enter. Escalating criticisms of the raft of ugly (or at least totally undistinguished) large buildings that have sprung up in Eugene over the past two decades raise the question: "why such a glut of mediocrity here?"  I now live near Boulder, Colorado to which Eugene is sometimes compared (often unfavorably) where new construction and well preserved historic structures generally complement each other and provide a vibrant, organic, people friendly whole. Meanwhile Eugene, having wantonly destroyed most of its built heritage allows and suffers from Capstone, downtown LCC, the Hub, and now Oregon Medical Group's monstrosity, to mention only a few. Apparently the powers-that-be lack the vision or stamina to attack this culture of mediocrity.

I see Rick's map link...lots going on...
But where is this "mother pipe" going to head to... ?
Not the coast I gather...the US ?
And what is being used/where is NG from this area being shipped now...?
How much ?
Is it going to get a better price via this new line...?
How much better ?
I have asked RoB to discuss this obviously "hot" Montney area before in more detail......
Surprisingly few articles on it...
? private investment club ?
The article seems to indicate that it is a $$ losing operation at today's prices...so I am confused about all this investment/activity...I thought coastal LNG was the plan...and NEB was OK with this as long as their were buyers for the gas.
(I will put my hard hat on now)


You've seen officers without signals too. Police don't follow the traffic laws they are supposed to enforce. You should see some come out of that side street by the bus terminal & go opposite traffic flow onto S. King St to go the Hele (formerly Tesoro) gas station. Even if you turn them in nothing happens. There seems to be a different set of rules for the public..


I' guessing the US Securty agencies will have a thing or two to say about how "Loose Cannon" Trump functions. These people are not fools.
Go ahead Mr Trump, keep trashing them, we'll see how well that will work for you in the long haul


I can't wait til we hear about trumps first 'mission accomplished'.


Until now, those who advocate "resist" or "revolt" are unable to explain why and how Clinton who was supposed to win the election overwhelmingly, lost to Trump.
No, this thing about Clinton winning the popular vote looks good but it is false because this so-called "popular vote" did not come from the entire US of A but only from and only from California where she got over 60% of the vote.
Really.
Resist is not the answer.
The answer is to discover and recognize the reasons why and how Clinton lost to Trump.
Only when and only when those who advocate "resist" examine and discover the reason why an overwhelming favorite as Clinton could even lose to Trump will advocates of "resist" find the path to victory.
Otherwise, "resist" will only bury Democrats deeper and deeper into the hole they all dug for themselves in Election 2016


Nice Karlsson goal.  Power play needs plenty of work, happy for the win though.


Fake news. Writer did not do due diligence before writing this piece. Completely slanted to support the cattle industry and destruction of a living legend and symbol of American freedom. In the hearts and minds of this nation's people is the American Mustang - right along side the Flag and the Bald Eagle. 80% of Americans want to protect our wild horses. Apparently Sharon O'Toole belongs in the lower percentile.

I've heard from friends who live in the city that Coal Harbor is dark at night with most of the towers at least 70% unoccupied - you can tell from the lights. There are some university profs who are looking at the issue through BC Hydro rates but the city and real estate organizations don't have any willingness to enact serious reform. They have waited too long to act, imagine if housing/condo prices in Vancouver fell 25%, they would still be overpriced and thousands of new homeowners who took out fat low-interest mortgages would be underwater. Vancouver's growth industries are high-end shopping and other service-oriented industries to support wealthy part-time residents.


Let's be simple.

Sheriff Arpaio is a patriot,...Flake is a fake.


Mexico is far more than tourism.
Under the threat of Trump protectionism, Mexico is already diversifying it economy, and turning to China.
Chinese auto company JAC Motors announced this year will invest it $212 million in an existing car plant in Hidalgo, Mexico, to build SUVs.
Chinese telecommunications company Huawei is expanding its presence in Mexico.
Mexico is contemplating using the "China card" against Trump.
The U.S.  does not want a major Chinese presence in Mexico for economic and security reasons.
Trump's bullying threat of big tariffs would be met with  some major consequences.
Predicted outcome, Trump backs down and issues his default statement: "Gee, I didn't know it would be this difficult."


The United States has elected an openly racist, defiantly fascist megalomaniac to the presidency.  It can't surprise anyone that he's building a reactionary government of, by and for the filthy rich. He's nominated an attorney general to suppress voting rights in minority communities, a secretary of state to protect his corporate and personal relationships in Russia, a labor secretary who wants to replace workers with robots, an EPA Director who doesn't believe in climate change, an energy secretary who wants to abolish the department (when he an remember its name), a housing secretary who rightly describes himself as unqualified, and a national security adviser who is given to right wing conspiracy theories. Add to all of that the neo-Nazi who will be his chief counselor and strategist, it's hard to see where a bridge could be built.

Ottawa was well aware that any subsidies to Bombardier would be attacked by competitors such as Boeing and Embraer.  Rather than using F18 jests as a lever maybe the feds should consider tariffs of their own on foreign passenger aircraft.  After all, both Boeing and Embraer receive subsidies from their governments.

Read it - it's about the fuss when Trudeau was kind regrading the passing of Castro.  Usual  suspects were upset.

No policy was engaged following that statement and our country itself was not ridiculed.

So; meh.


I'm sure that sentence means something.  Right?


Gee Ezra you have proven to be the worst kind of "journalist" - corrupt, prone to baloney, and a poor judge of character. You are no doubt a welcome addition to the Unite the Right movement in Alberta. Hope things don't work out for you.

Oh absolutely, we have a violence problem in this country, as much as a gun violence one.  Guns are a tool that makes killing easier, not easy, but easier.  As I said, I don't know what the solution is, but neither side in this has the answer, and to a great degree both sides have it wrong, we can't get rid of guns and just saying that we need more guns to solve the problem isn't the answer either.


Not at all - it is the author of the piece that is confusing mark-up with Nett profit / EATIA.

Canadian socialist culture. Everybody pays for the 3% of liberals who watch.


You say that the rich have too many opportunities to avoid taxes? I agree but what they have is the ability to afford to find all of the obscure tax loopholes. One of the commenters above states that we should emulate Denmark. The problems we face are our own doing and made possible by both sides of the aisle. If we do as Denmark, very low taxation on business, simple startup policies and greatly reduced regulatory burden, then we would not be seeing businesses moving out of the country. Instead, we would be seeing job creation. One thing that does not help is the government celebrating creation of 120,000 jobs when in the same report, for the same month, the report outlined the loss of 450,000 jobs, yet that is ignored by the media. Democrats praise the great economic recovery, yet 93 million working age american adults are still unemployed. That is about 23% of the total population of the country. What percentage is it of working age americans? And the unemployment rate is what????


What he said was everyone does it, including the Russians. The US is probably the most prolific when it comes to this trick, among others. Ranking at the top with China.


Everybody knows that the poles are greased.


<SO is it your usual practice to rate comments that you don't agree with as "uncivil?">
Not at all.  I rate most comments as "civil", whether I agree with them or not.  So much so that at one point, in an earlier incarnation of Civil Comments, I received a caution that my participation could be suspended because I was allowing too many things to pass.  You are obviously not a serious thinker or writer; a lot of what you post skates at the edge of civility, hovering between "uncivil" and merely boorish. In the absence of blatantly scatological language, I pass most comments as Civil. But, of course, I'm a liberal.


Skipping the budget debate for more selfies is not helpful in dispelling certain negative narratives regarding Justin's acumen with numbers and other technical matters.


You have the concept of Free Riding confused with Freedom.


Anyone who monitors your posts and responses wouldn't believe you if you claimed that the sun came up in the East.   At least not until they saw it happen.  And then the careful ones would want to see it happen the second day.


Brayton Drive isn't really a "street," It's a Frontage Road, more or less a long freeway on and off ramp. The street for pedestrians to use, with bike trail and sidewalk and crosswalks and lights, is Lake Otis.


EXACTLY.
Journalists are frequently wrong.

Assessments may increase, but the MILL RATE (look it up!) will be adjusted so the total tax paid will be roughly the same.

Municipal taxes are calculated in reverse - the mill rate is established so when multiplied by the assessments in the City, the City raises the total desired for its budget.

Your taxes will only see an abnormal jump if it increases more than the average, and eve ten, it wold not triple as suggested by the story.

Incredibly POOR RESEARCH on this article.
I think a CORRECTION is I order.


The situation along the river has gotten worse every year since the "sanctioned" homeless camps were put in. The unsanctioned ones now have quasi-sanctioned status because we have no where to put the criminals who have taken over the parkland. We have no homeless shelters and we don't have the jail beds.

Not surprisingly, people still want to go for walks on paths that don't have cars. The result is that I'm seeing an awful lot more cars at the Ridgeline trailheads while I see far fewer people along the bike paths. We're reaching a point where the thugs who have taken over the parks outnumber all other users. Now, when someone dares to walk along the river, they are at risk of attack.

Nice job Ruiz and city council. Way to turn our city's jewel into a toilet.


Ha ha.


Michel- I have to disagree with addressing the problems with SB21 now rather than later. I would have preferred SB21 had never passed or been replaced by now. Unfortunately HB111 has been compromised and is inadequate the way it came out of the House to get a fair return for our oil. In my opinion it has been weakened to the point that it is also a failure.

I believe that we should modify the tax credits this year and start over next year to create a tax structure that is both fair to the oil companies while getting a fair return for our oil. The legislature needs to hear more from and pay attention to Robin Brena and oil tax experts and pay less attention to the oil industry cheerleaders. And SB21 supporters should stop comparing SB21 to ACES, they both failed to envision that oil could drop to less than $60 a barrel. Aces gets an F-, does the F that SB21 gets for obtaining a fair return for our natural resources actually give Parnell et al. bragging rights? I don't think so!


It's an amusing idea, but at this point I doubt there are any "frills" left to take away.
I've flown both AC and AC Rouge and honestly I have trouble telling them apart. Even the ticket prices aren't that much different.... and, of course, the cabin crew follow you around with an Interac machine trying to charge you for breathing.

At this point, the notion of a "full-service" airline is the real joke.


What a pointless article.


The liberals are just bringing in more immigrants for liberal vote padding...


I get your point but, to be fair, no matter who wins the White House in two weeks time the real power will still be in Congress.

Even the silly notion of building a wall between Canada and the U.S. couldn't happen without Congressional approval, and Congress a.) isn't so stupid as to believe that Canada (or Mexico for that matter) will build a wall and b.) will balk at the costs.


Singh isn't "overtly non-secular".  He's overtly non-atheist.


Keepitverysimple,

From the early 1840s to well into the 1870s exactly the same sort of things as you say were said in what are now Ontario and Quebec about the flood of Irish Catholics offloading during the 1840s from the coffin ships fleeing the Famine. These attitudes at that time poisoned politics and retarded social and economic progress for decades.

Echos of those attitudes distorted debate over public financial support for schooling and set the stage for pitched street battles in Toronto (nicknamed little Belfast), violent clashes between Irish and French Canadian loggers for control of work in the Ottawa Valley lumber camps and the first Riel Rebellion and the serious political discord that followed.

The early 20th century was marked by recurrences of such attitudes directed at Eastern Europeans and Orientals in Western Canada.

Happily, reactionary xenophobia did not win out in the long run then and should not now.


I don't see any problem letting Russian's vote in American elections..They can join the 30 million Mexicans,2 million Cubans,1 million Puerto Ricans,Iraqi's,Somalians,and Arabs already voting in the elections..


So sorry for the loss of Wesley. We also lost our Granddaughter Katelan in 2013 also ruled as SUDC. The loss never goes away but we are never alone on this journey as we share the same road in life. Our ANGELS will watch over us till we meet again


"When they say high confidence, there actually is a lot of evidence pointing in the direction of Russia or they would have no reason to make the claim"

So  you stating they have "a lot of evidence " otherwise they wouldn't have said it is the proof? Got it. I'm convinced.


Sounds like Rosemary Woods and the 17 missing minutes.


It's been found that if you cut a cord of firewood, it will relieve the tension that causes a 'time warp perception' in almost everything you 'think' you hear, see, and read. But its not guaranteed...one has to be willing to learn something new too.


They can't vote in Presidential election, the island is mainly leans democratic  and they aren't the correct color.


"He was a loser when it came to establishing any kind of long-term relationship that would provide emotional security and health."

Are you saying he should have lived longer than 91? Fortunately your values don't apply to everyone.


You're not looking in the right places. Or you're a male. Women health care is all about someone else paying to their contraceptives, because isn't unfair women were born women. The major percentage of those insured under OBAMAcare are subsidized. Congressional staff are subsidizes to 75% of the premiums, because their premiums under OBAMAcare were going to be to high.


Your post is pure bias and makes no mention of this. Now, after the fact, you make this statement. No, I did not get this wrong, you need to articulate better than a bias opinion condemning one while saying nothing of the other equally guilty. as for the latter, Junior, I staunchly opposed Bush in agreement with William F Buckley who warned the GOP they were committing political suicide with this incompetent clown. Now you're deflecting off subject of your BIAS post I addressed.


Look at YouTube videos and there are lots of videos where there was some malfunction of a mortar round.  The person would drop the mortar into the tube no problem, however instead of flying out of the tube at high velocity it would shoot out a few feet up and then drop right in front of the mortar crew.  The ones you see on YouTube must have been only training mortars because even though the crew all run like hell away after it fall just a few feet in front of them, the mortar does not explode.  There was one video that the mortar exploded in the tube but again must have been a training mortar because if it was real one, everyone around the explosion would have died like this Afghan army accident.


Always fun to watch the Left, Progressives and Elites like this columnist mock us, call us red necks, deplorables whatever. Especially interesting to see them attack politicians who actually keep their promises to us.  I realize you may not agree with us and them, but to think name calling and mockery is going to somehow bring us around to your point of view is the height of folly. Maybe you and your ilk are actually the ones who are ignorant.


You are spot on. Science research programs in Canada are starving.


I'm not sure we're going to get very far. I think we both agree for the most part. I'm not defending either - but I don't think Kathy Griffin's intention was to incite violence - nor do I think Trump's intention is to do so. Both would be wise to backpedal and be more clear about their intentions lest anyone impressionable takes their rhetoric as action. I think that is where we should agree.


For most people, life is a gift not to be turned down, whether your own life or that which you've helped create.

I don't like PP, and I won't go there, but I also don't want to pay for it. It's true that "many men won't take the responsibility," but don't shift it to me or anyone else.

And yes, sex is fantastic and all that, but I'm not a wild animal unable to control my urges. Humans are better than that, and those who want to act like wild animals should be treated as such. Wild animals seldom receive government-funded health care.


Trump condemned violence.  He uttered no word of support for extremists.  What is there to complaon about?


That will crush local businesses. Besides the obvious "Just buy it on Amazon tax free" plan people will stop or put off buying high end/expensive items and/or buy used high end items. I already fly to Seattle to buy cars due to the higher price tag here; add a sales tax to that and a lot more people will be shopping outside.


There should be strict oversight for both groups.....and then another layer of scrutiny for foreign companies and individuals. To assume otherwise is to experience "the naive blindness of globalism". Beware.


Isn't it just a crime that we live in a place with some of the world's best seafood (not an exaggeration!) and yet we almost consistently are sold sub-par seafood that is marketed as fresh? If I had the means and the know-how, I would start a serious seafood restaurant with a top-grade chef in this city. Nobody would be treated like an unknowing tourist anymore.


Scram at the audio of Maddows voice is a survival instinct.A sudden video visual would most likely afflict a cougar coronary.


Instead of thoughts and prayers, I would like to see congressmen engage brain and use reason and  logic to make decisions.  Then exhibit courage and moral fiber to actually do something to defy gun merchants and the NRA.  Find ways to decrease the level of insanity and murderous individuals who are unable to live as civilized human beings.  Prayer is fine, but decisions would be better at this level of societal violence.


One day soon, on live tee vee, a little winged monkey is going to fly out of this guys axx and then, even his adoring pack of poodles will get the picture.


Seems to me that posting anonymous comments is rather cowardly.  If you have an opinion you wish others to listen to, at least owe up to it.


A part timer gets around $150 a day for a couple hours of baby sitting? Where do I apply?


"Hobbled?"  They will certainly find new and inventive ways to get the money, anyway.


It's some scary times. I worry for the next gen, because I have the next gen in my life. I want those kids and seniors, and old hippies like me to rally big and write in Bernie Sanders. He has the respect of both parties, notwithstanding the DNC Corporation and the RNC Corp. Our ballot is secret.


More shooting from the hip. It's all the laws passed over the years by the democratic machine that pretty much lets everyone off the hook. In this case, I would expect your next president, honest Hillary to pardon these non violent folks. What goes around comes around.


If I could agree with this statement a billion times, I would.

Things need to slow down a bit so that cybersecurity and privacy law can catch up, along with the general public's understanding of what this wireless connectivity all means.

For example, you couldn't pay me to buy a Bluetooth-enabled car.  I don't understand why people would do that now, before crucial safeguards are in place.

I don't even understand how the insurance industry can justify insuring Blue-tooth enabled cars, homes, security systems etc etc.     The insurance industry has so much misunderstood or underestimated proxy-by-insurance operational risk at the moment, it's nuts.


Good point but "it's 2017" so the Globe won't touch that topic.


"his main priority, broadening the trade relationship and in particular increasing the scope of exchanges in more technologically sophisticated sectors."

China has found itself an easily flattered patsy right on America's doorstep.


I read this article and cannot stop thinking about what Junior revealed in his email chain. How did Kushner square that one before Congress I wonder? How will he square that before the special prosecutor?


"Foreign Affairs Minister Freeland rejects Russian offer to lift travel ban".

What a glorious headline.  If you try and trace it to the sources - there was no "offer", and so there was nothing to "reject".

Russian media asked unnamed Russian official for a  comment as it seems to be the first time in world's history that a Foreign minister is banned entry to another country. The source explained that Russia did not start all this and so can not technically move first, but that they are always ready to cooperate.

Freeland responded that it is important to engage.

Here: "Foreign Affairs Minister Freeland and Russia will engage despite travel ban".


Careful now, you may need him some day. I'm sure he appreciates the free publicity though. Wouldn't be a bit surprised that you shoot like you spell.


These are the so called "enlightened" generation? Wow.


This is already a requirement for mothers to receive support from the state.  And, the father (or mother) is required to pay the state  back for supporting their children.  Able bodied parents must seek employment and report their progress.  And yes, there are parents who would appreciate working and learning on the job, if required to repay the assistance they have.  But, that would mean that somebody's job with the government would be cut-back?  Such work programs were once available through a government funded initiative...it was not supported by government workers.


You tell me where you got the idea that Russia is evil, was it through actual experience or reading biased articles and news reports. The US has always needed to have friction with other world powers to promote spending and keep a strong military. Have you been there, do you know any of the people? I'm not an authority other than what I've seen but where do you get NATO undone other make them come up with their fair share of paying the costs.
What has Russia to do with the EU breaking up other than possibly make the leaders of the EU countries use their heads. Will the nations on the periphery of Russia mind being on their own?


"... that would allow pulling innocent people that are unrelated to you from their cars and administer a beat down."
Got a link to prove that happens in America?


Of course the city would like to pick up all the garbage that residents dump in the canals. But that is not possible.


This message has been run into ground to parents along with every safety tip known. No one lisyens until a nightmare happens. Then its why did this happen. Parents too busy, side tracked and head up their lattes.


Thank you Tom for showing our "Skin in the Game" as we approach 10 years of paying the GET surcharge for rail.  HART has been misleading us about all aspects of rail since they began.  These numbers should have been in the papers all along.  Each person on Oahu will have paid $2,000.00 in rail GET surcharge by this December with eleven years to go. That's $4,200.00 per person after 21 years - $16,800.00 for a family of four.  That's enough.


The FBI has already found no Islamic connection and the perp isn't even religious. No connection whatsoever, but nice of you to promote ISIS for ISIS.  People who object to gun control create the conditions for mass slaughter. You've decided guns are more important than human lives. So put a silencer on your dogwhistle, Russian troll farm bot. No one wants to hear it.


Funniest thing I've heard in a while.


the clinton/comey email situation is questionable at best. at worst it shows a malicious bias.  however - that has NOTHING TO DO WITH NOW!
 and your posts have been the same old, same old, same old as many others and they are MOOT and OUT of DATE. in 6 months are you going to be saying ' who knew we could be so taken advantage of?'  or be the first to gripe about an outrageous, undecipherable 12 page hospital bill?
 you can consider whatever media to be valid or not - start listening to THE WORDS  out of peoples mouths and their ACTIONS - not what ANY spun out media says...
  and very curious... WOULD YOU HIRE SOMEONE WITH TRUMPS PERSONALITY TRAITS TO WORK FOR YOU? WOULD YOU LIVE NEXT DOOR TO HIM?


Liberal PM threatens to rip up NAFTA good !

Conservative President threatens to rip up NAFTA baaaaaaaddddd !

Go ahead, tear it up and see if I care.


Took a first timer into 13 this last weekend and we both got our caribou, nice and quiet like.


These folks sometimes just seem to say whatever pops into their heads.

Filters, people, filters.

We live in interesting times, and the best we can collectively manage is to make the most of its opportunities.


exactly! thank you!


There are plenty of dispensaries in Eugene and Cottage Grove, leave Creswell alone.


Guess you're not familiar with how we used the Implied Bill of Rights prior to 1960 to address this gap.


Trade deals like this one are for companies, especially large ones, and not for people, we all know this. So Canadians have no reason to be happy or excited about this. It's not done just yet anyhow. The outcomes remain to be seen how positive or negative this turns out to be for Canada and Canadians. Less sovereignty is negative. At least this is not as detrimental as TPP, that was a total failure, the idea integrating lower-cost countries into a free-trade zone with Canada. Let's hope we don't get the immigration Europe has had coming over. Our MPs are useless to Canadians if they are not addressing immigration, the Sept 1st Nano/Globe poll showed 80% of Canadians didn't want more immigration but MPs increased it anyhow! We have to start to speak up more NOW, because as we can see how bad our immigration has been and it is still getting worse, take noble action picket in front of MP office nearest you today! Decreasing immigration is the only way forward to better employ Canadians!


What about the Pandey lab at Stanford (Folding@home) ?
https://folding.stanford.edu/papers-results/

Citizen Science is not a replacement for academic research, it's an adjunct. How much would pure science progress if there was pervasive scientific literacy in general society? Also, I spend more time illustrating the benefits to the citizen than the benefits to science.


Of course it's a civil rights issue. Why should gays be discriminated against just because they have sex w/their own gender? Never understood why anyone cared about such things. Gays didn't have any more "choice" about it than you had in being hetero (which I assume you are, from your comment). So yeah, I'd say you are a "hater" and closed minded if you disagree with their "choice."

I think conservatives only got on the anti-trans bandwagon because they lost on gay marriage. Then, suddenly, they discovered trans people, and now they're pushing all these anti-trans measures.

Since things are now set up for the trans folks in the military, and if are doing their job, why kick them out? I think it's a waste of time, resources, and energy to do so.


Go away Floridian. Alaskans are talking here.


“I was astonished that you blamed black people for poor health and poverty because of all the chicken and barbecue they eat,”.  She may not have said these exact words but the inference was there.   Aside from that there really in no reason that this boy should have been kicked out of his troop.  it doesn't matter if the boy was coached or came up with the questions on his own. Apparently the troop leader has a problem with people who don't agree with him politically.  It is really sad that the Boy Scout Council has not come out and said that the leader was wrong.  I guess they will evaluate the situation and come to the conclusion we all expect.  That it is up to the troop leader who is in the troop.  They will make no meaningful resolution.


Quote" The very first thing they will do is pump down the water table of the area ( some 20 wells 2,000 feet down ) when they do this there are several rivers and streams that dry up and go away. Upper Talarik is one of these. Just the foot print alone of Pebble removes some 110 miles stream, creeks and rivers. There is a lake called Frying Pan lake ( all species of salmon ) gets removed completely.

5 toxic reservoirs, chemicals, a 2400 foot hole left to fill up when played out...."

This is all false - there are no scientific facts to back this up, there is no mine plan to base this view on. Please stop spreading misinformation sir. That is pathetic and just goes to show how desperate opponents are. You will not engage in fact based debate because you know facts are not on your side.

Oh well, if they can move the price by couple of bucks just by opening their mouth then why not.
Talk is cheap, nobody really knows how much oil they  pump anyway...

I am sure that those same law professors and Masuma Khan herself would be equally quick to defend the same statement made in reference to Muslims, black or aboriginals on the grounds of free speech.  Excuse me while I roll on the ground laughing.

Trump didn't win any war.  Trump battled bone spurs and clap while his contemporaries died in Southeast Asia. I saw some of them die.  The grotesque creature now in the White House isn't fit to return an American private's salute, much less command him in battle.  I cheer the British refusal to have their august Parliament sullied by the fraud. I hope the rest of the world treats him the same way.  (Of course, I realize his butt-buddy Putin will exhibit him like a grand prize turkey in front of the pretend-legislature in Moscow.  That's where he belongs.)


Karma.

When I went to elementary most of the older teachers had not even attended university.  They had completed high-school, went directly to Normal School, and then straight into teaching.  But one thing was for certain:  They all knew how to teach arithmetic until we all knew the basics.

The Ontario government could probably visit some retirement homes and look for elderly teachers for lessons on how to teach mathematics.  It's guaranteed that these old folk could still teach math better than the clowns who have messed up today's system.


How do you feel about Democratic voter suppression?


"A certain heathen came before Shammai and said to him, 'Make me a proselyte, on condition that you teach me the whole Torah while  standing on one foot.' Shammai repulsed him with the builder's cubit which was in his hand.  When the heathen went before Hillel, Hillel said to him, 'What is hateful to you, do not to your neighbour:  that is the whole Torah, the rest is commentary'" -- Talmud, Shabbat 31a


Oh God no.


Truth is Power!


Going to get money to get his brakes fixed or you're charging too much interest.


The perjury and lies  by the accusers remains ignored  by  the Globe.  One accuser was only 6 and not even at the school at the time the sex crimes were alleged committed.  Other accusers pumped up their accusation against Furlong when money for compensation was put on the table.


So it's the media's fault? Is there anything these days NOT the media's fault? How about the parents? Where were they? Are MTV and Twitter the parents of these punks?

Stupid youths are not political, they are just young and dumb. Some of them are criminal. Let's put some, most?, all? of the personal responsibility on the laps of these "boys".


What Apo did is not just a simple violation of ethics rules, he violated laws.  Why hasn't he been charged with violations of the law?

The average teacher here makes 110K a year????????????????????????????????

70K to start but there hasn't been a new start in years because we can't get rid of these leaches to get new blood in. They recycle some deadbeat on special projects who couldn't get a job in the private sector if they tried.

I've met many of them. They move about 4 miles an hour all day shuffling papers

When they retire they go the College system and double up from collecting their fully indexed pensions to now making 140K a year in admin or teaching hair combing 400.......

Its the greatest ripoff of our money there is.
I bet this scam is right across Canada


Supreme court decisions don't have anything to do with the radicalization and gun-cult obsession of right-wing gun-nuts. The Supreme Court decision is not the source of your worship of the gun.


Since I was 13 and started working under special permit, I have been paying 6% of my paychecks to subsidize your Social Security and Medicare and so have my employers.  Also if you truly couldn't afford an ACA health insurance plan, you would have qualified for subsidies as well so its hard to believe you couldn't get coverage.


It is a matter of fact.


"Apparently you should only have it if you can afford it".
That's correct. Live within your means.

The link : "Pet therapy" is not a scientific paper, makes a statement and then does not back it up. The organization that is behind it, has a vested interest in pets..

A patient presents to a psychiatrist and requests that his or her genitalia be surgically removed. Yet we dismiss the underlying etiologies as benign? It's not a simple, straight line psychiatric disorder that gets "fixed" with cosmetic surgery. Then again, at one point lobotomies were indicated for thousands of people. Gee, how did that work out in retrospect?
