Bingo:  Everything is always about growth int he population.  If we curtailed immigration we'd have approximately ZERO population growth.  What a boon for quality of life and the environment!


stop making excuse for your infantile and stupid behavior.  there are ways to express your displeasure but showing your finger is not one of these ways.  you have disrespected the process and brought shame to the Hawaii delegation and people.   you owe the people of Hawaii an apology and to the DNC.  If you refuse to apologize then you should resign your position with the Hawaii democratic party.  there is no bravery involved just plain stupidity.   you are stooping low like trump is doing in his immature behavior when people disagree with him.   maybe you should join the repubs, you should feel at home with them.  dems do not tolerate stupidity.   no fd, she does not love Hawaii, she lovers herself, if she did she would not have done what she did to bring shame to us.


Here is something else you can do: Get the Gov to stop politicizing the investment process of the fund...as in giving it to novice investors with political connections and/or companies that hire former employees of the perm fund. This will prob be taken down soon cause the owner of this failing rag has her hand in this too.


I was asked by a Canada Custom Officer to remove my sun glasses presumably because he want to clearly see my face as compared to my passport photo. Is this not his duty ?


The debate is over. 97% of geneticists agree that sex is determined by chromosomes.


It would appear that today we have democrats on one side of the aisle in congress, and democrats on the other side of the aisle in congress.


Ah - but Ancient Rome was no different - the elites, senators and emperors fed their opposition to the lions in order to entertain the plebes. Remember ? Bread and Circuses, the Coliseum ... nothing has changed !


I request the following on behalf of the City of Homer residents:

1) An immediate campaign to proclaim Homer an American City open for business and tourism with a respect for law and order is required to overcome this obstacle.

2) The Bible says to cast out the contentious person and the strife will cease. The sponsor(s) be removed from the city council and sued to repay for the labor and time and defamation of character to the image and mission of the City of Homer. It will rid the council of these individuals determined to destroy our economy by reckless endangerment and hold them accountable for their actions.
Excerpts from the Letter to the Editor by Patrick Brown ( can be read online)
I have lived in Homer since 1991. This is what is driving this "machine" for "recall" because the bible tells them so.
The City Council members get to volunteer to administer to the city needs . They are NOT "career" politicians and are happy they serve the community. They are nice folks is all.


Well, DIA for one has 6 runways, all of which can handle a 747. Keep in mind that LAX (e.g.) only has 4 runways total if you need perspective. Also, no runway at DIA intersects another runway. This can't be said for such airports as San Francisco and Chicago O'Hare to name a few. Did I mention that DIA is the most modern airport in the United States? I think we have it covered here Harpro, thanks bro.


All a person has left is his/her integrity, honour and reputation. Look at it like this: if you were accused in the work place, etc of a charge you knew, despite all said and done, wrong, baseless and unfair, would you plead guilty and resign because of the public's 'perception'? Anyone who says they would is a liar. To do so is to confirm that perception - perception quickly becomes 'truth' - and that's how history will remember you. Even Brian Molefe is trying to influence that.

Zille is defending this - so far it's early days and according to procedure until Maimane jumped the gun (how could he not know the constitution?) - because she's hard-headed and wants to be right, yes, but I suspect more so because her integrity demands it. Unless and until you've been in a position where your reputation and integrity was questioned, and you'd do what you must to protect it, I suggest you and others reconsider what that 'honourable thing' is. Anything else is just talk and second-guessing.


What will happen? Trump's 95% (ers) will love him more since FOX News and Trump's tweets are their sole sources of current events. FOX News echoes Trump's falsehoods that Puerto Rico has received soooo much help from Washington that they have to send stuff back and that FEMA has people in every nook and cranny of the island. The legitimate media exposes the reality; most of the population outside San Juan is desperate for the basics of food and water and hasn't received any aid from Washington.

Trump is one of those people with a horseshoe embedded in a part of his anatomy. We've all known people like him. No matter how many lies they throw out there, no matter how thick the BS from their mouths, no matter how low they go, lady luck steps in at the last minute and makes them look good. At least I can be sure of one thing. Trump will spend eternity in purgatory and that warms my heart.


"maybe this type of thing happens all the time in public organizations."

Maybe, I don't know. But I do know it's pretty common in business.


"I'd rather have "an idiot" there with a gun"

Kumbya is greek, use a Kappa. Cumbya is a term used at those Vatican gay orgies. Regardless, I am not arguing for a kumbya moment. Quite a few priests need to be be outed, not as gay, but as asexuals, and counseled on what their sexuality entails and how it has preverted Catholic sexual teaching. They need to feel as uncomforatable with that as they have made the rest of us feel for normal heterosexuality.


What are you on about, Canada is a great Country but people like you bragging about it, and trash talking our neighbours are definitely one of our down falls. And you can hone your skills in Canada just the same.


The root of this problem began with the "one and done" culture because it opened the door  for teenage boys to be bribed with money, shoe deals, access to "successful" agents and so on. The list is endless.  When college players stayed at a school for 4-years in the "old days" and were drafted after their senior year, the landscape was different.

Likewise, paying athletes while they are in school will NOT CHANGE anything about the culture except give them access to more money...it is not going to stop bribery(in fact you could argue it will increase i.e. "If you come here we can pay you more money than if you go..."), being "guided" towards shoe companies, agents and so on.


dear: Must be good to have such a wide span of acquaintances. You're friends  with scheer, and you post about Liberals 'friends' too.  But forgive me if I doubt the accuracy of your post. You seem very hung up on the khadr thing and everything you write is in your defence of that. Not a word of defence of scheer. Not one. Remember scheer? He's the subject of this article.
If you seriously believe a Liberal voter would either vote against the party, or abstain from voting against a cpc that has a harper clone in charge,and with harper's old cadre in his shadow - you are really not thinking logically.

And Canadians feel very strongly about the Charter and about the Supreme Court - strongly positive. If you seriously doubt that then you need to broaden your circle considerably. At least come out of the basement.

Except that high income earners in Canada *DO* pay taxes, a LOT of taxes.

In fact the top 10% of earners in this country pay more than half of all income taxes that are paid, an amount vastly in excess of their proportion of income.  They not only are paying "their fair share", they are also paying the "fair share" for everyone else.  The way our tax system is setup losing only a very small proportion of high income earners in Canada would result in the complete collapse of our social programs because they are covering the lions share of the cost.

On a per capita basis an individual needs to earn somewhere $90,000/year just to break even on the taxes they pay vs. the per capita cost of government services.


Weird post.  And Brock already has a ring, remember?  Apparently not.


The negative attention here stems from crimes made easier with guns.  Crime is generally viewed as negative.  Why is it that gun owners can't own up to being a huge part of the problem?


No where near as tiring as listening to Hillary sore losers.  She lost.  Let me say it again so it sinks in. HILLARY LOST!

Now put on your big girl panties and get through the next 4 years.


Just how many drug dealers do you know?


Not the political will to cut expenses such as $2Billion on cancelling gas plants, $2Billion on windmills,  paying the expenses of teacher's Union at contract talks, running up the debt so we now spend $12Billion/year in interest  etc. etc??
  Haven't you yet realized that  the more this Liberal government receives in revenue the more it will waste on ridiculous projects and handouts  in order to get re-elected.  Now,  that is a fact..


Cycling is extremely hazardous for the lungs, with ozone effect, diesel fumes, car, and bus exhaust carrying dust into the air, un-burnt gas, and oil from scooters, the cigarette smoke coming from cars, micro glass from the asphalt, dust from construction, and smog can ruin a ride.


SMOOTHIE,
Relax, the good guys are going to prevail.  25% today will be less than 10% soon. Do not lose heart or faith, and notice the lack of reason and coherence from the usual ditto-heads. Desperation is setting in.
We will overcome someday, soon.


Your way to out of touch,  If I was to but insurance on the market place it would be $52485 a YEAR for the gold with a 10000 out of pocket max...  there is nothing affordable about this so called ACA unless you don't work........


Sure my baby sitter can use drugs if she wants on her own time, as long as she's sober when she's watching them. To reply to your statement about close to home... Just because someone is an advocate for someone's God given right to use a plant, does not necessarily mean that they indulged in that plant. See unlike you I care about people's personal right to do what they want so long as it doesn't cause harm to others. Someone who chooses to use a plant in the privacy of their home, does not harm you. Just because your in a traffic accident, does not mean you are intoxicated, nothing in this story of the cab driver indicates he was intoxicated. If it is thought that one is intoxicated, then PD needs to be called, they should then charge them with DUI. No reply needed!


It's been fairly obvious for at least a decade that corruption was rife, and it's surprising only that it took so long for it to become public knowledge.

Of course kneeling causes no property damage or injury, I was being sarcastic.

As for take my pick-I want to see neither one.
One should (and is) going to cause a major loss of revenue to the NFL.
The second one (BLM and all) should result in more jail time as well as zero tolerance by both the public and the police.


most 'excellent leaders' don't quit before they become leader. I realise this is the CPC so nothing sensible applies, but try to keep up.
However, you're right. Select Bernier as leader.  The Liberal party will be very grateful.


Well, I think this just confirmed another round of "unrest".

Weird how people go into police custody healthy and wind up dead.


What facts are you thinking of?


The war in Iraq under the direct leadership of President Bush and VP Cheney is a great example of why Republicans shouldn't be elected.


Certainly there has been rage in this community toward the protesters or “terrorists” near Burns. But let’s look at LTD:

TAKES (without asking, without gratitude) hundreds of $$$ per year from my employer on my behalf (I ride LTD once every two or three years). Plans to increase its TAKE in the next few years. TAKES tens of thousands of $$$ from my employer for my fellow employees, who similarly have no use for the local transit system.

TAKES money from countless other businesses whose employees have little or no use for the system.

TAKES space along 6th/7th, etc., for the new EmX line. Disrupts traffic and commerce especially during construction, but to some degree perpetually. TAKES what was once green space along Franklin Blvd., Pioneer Pkwy. TAKES road space for the buses that barge out of stops demanding right of way or barge into your lane because they can't negotiate tight turns.

So who is TAKING public (and private) property and disrupting our lives? Who are the terrorists?


According to what I have learned by following Hob Osterlund, bird protector on Kauai and author of 'Holy Moli`', albatross mate for life.  I'm not sure about whether they will find another mate if theirs dies, I've asked Hob to respond to this article.  I believe a mating couple have one egg per hatching season.  I do no know how long it take for an albatross to reach reproductive maturity, but the population is small if not endangered so any loss of reproductively mature birds is a huge loss to the population.  It is recoverable over time, but we cannot let this horrible incident happen again.


It still stinks. Restructuring the PF is government speak for seizing the PF. More than 10 years ago the Teachers Union tried to get voters to establish an endowment fund for them, taking the funds from the PF. They were unsuccessful, than goodness. Somehow we need to keep gubmut's focus on the real causes of our fiscal grief - SB21, oil tax credits, ongoing mega-project spending, the overly obese government, drafting equitable taxation,  & plenty more.

There are actual Nazis marching in the streets of America proudly showing off their Swastika tattoos and a president making excuses for them.
Screw my blood pressure.

I would rather die raging against them than live with the guilt of condoning them by silence.

In 1928 the original Nazis were also a joke, too small to be politically worth caring about. Couldn't win a single seat in parliament in the last election. Nazis have a way of going from a joke to murdering rampage sweeping the world very, very rapidly if they are not actively opposed at every step.
It's the kind of movement that needs to run into a brick wall of resistance every time it rears it's ugly head - because if you give it an inch, it will burn the world.


So far as I know no one has actually spent a minute trying to defeat this device. But if amateurs never tried to hack security systems, it would wind up being done first by actual criminals.


So you didn't withdraw, you just changed your party affiliation. Not the same.


There is a time for a domestic Canadian debate over supply management.

That time surely isn't when Canada is engaged in difficult negotiations with the US over trade relations.

"I wish your comment was true but it's not. Liberal Catholics have bought his window dressing hook, line, and pedophile priest. The need to believe in his so called reforms is too strong a filter to see the total truth. "

People who still believe that Pope Francis is really trying to address the child sexual abuse crimes by priests and cover-ups by Bishops scandals may, without realizing it, be bordering on religious extremism.


This topic is right on and deserves a good deal of thought.  The country runs a deficit year in and year out.  Things will not change.  thus there should be more thought given to who buys the debt, which Trump has suggested he will devalue.  His business record has certainly used bankruptcy, plainly there will be interest in just who buys the debt and how much interest they will demand.


Come on, President Trump.  Please do not stop with DACA.   Go after all people here illegally and get them out of the country.  And while you are at it, issue an Executive Order putting an end to the so-called anchor baby practice of giving automatic citizenship to anyone born in the U.S. and let the constitutionality of it be decided by the Supreme Court.


Many angel investor companies invest in arm's length companies, and take back preferred shares recorded in a shareholder agreement for their investment. If the investment and its disposition for active business growth is segregated by the recipient corporation I agree the transfer should be allowed at a preferred corp tax rate . The disposition of funds are identified and not comingled with the recipient corp's other passive income. These transfers should be exempted.


I think it's nothing but an Ego Bill that is dangerous and unnecessary. Kill the bill. In fact, shoot it.


I believe that the game here is one that Rebecca Knight is playing.  She wants Mental Health land converted to Federal land such that the communities have access to use it for free.  Cowgirl up Rebecca Knight and organize the local communities to buy the land from the Mental Health Trust.


Obese gov't has been spending our money w/out regard for a long time, ad naseum.

I would be lying if I didn't have at least a sliver of skepticism regarding what will happen vis a vis gov't spending under a Trump admin--he doesn't exactly strike me as a "small gov't" type.

But I'll give him the benefit of the doubt until he acts otherwise. If he acts on the rhetoric he's promoted throughout his campaign, he'll get some spending room. If he backpedals on his promises, he will be roundly excoriated, have no doubt.

The last thing Trump needs to do is promote "yes men", as you say. What he does need is individuals with the experience he lacks, BUT who still support the same ideological goals as he. That means keeping out the Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld types and vaporizing any chance of their neocon aspirations to take hold.

I agree, it will not take long to see the impact of a Trump presidency. I am hopeful the promises will be delivered. And yes, we will be more divisive than ever. :-)


Now let's do some meaningful Big Oil tax credit cuts - or at least sun-setting suspensions - and bring back a 1.5%  State income tax - deductible on the federal tax - Before cutting the State budget AGAIN - and causing additional contractor and employee layoffs that will tip us into a VERY deep recession, similar to the one we experienced late '80's and early '90's- perhaps even worse, with more business closing, job losses, foreclosures, bankruptcies, bond rating declines, etc.  PFD interest revenues, small taxes, and cuts to unwarranted tax credits can probably sustain us as a healthy State economy for a long, long time - oil price fluctuations aside.  They might also chop the millions set aside for the totally unneeded Legislative Office building, if that would make any of us feel better (I know that would comfort me!)


So how come it's only happening to women who get the virus while pregnant? The pesticides are in use all over the world.

Good article.  The Liberals have bought their own story so much so that they seem unable to comprehend reality. Not that that was ever their strong point.
Nice to hear a sound logical, down to earth comment from a good Conservative.


You can spout all the fake history you want but you are no more persuasive than the Northerners that were spouting nonsense about slavery propaganda the other way.


We already provide aid for maternal and child health.


The media endlessly publishing FAKE NEWS does nothing for the country Mr. Tapper.

How did insulting two women as bitches with twisted phonetics get past the "civil" filter?  And to compound such low class behavior you like your own comment like RA used to?  So much "winning!"


Because the police do it also.


Please find yourself a dictionary so you can look up the definition of fascism & tyranny.


Sad part this is only a money maker solution for APD, city coffers and lawyers. Nothing to do with safety, every single day I see APD cars driven from home on the Glenn doing the same as everyone else to get to work. I wish I could have my employer give a free ride to work ...


The writer referred to "our community" and I corrected him. Just because you don't like it doesn't make it off topic.


So, a little more than $1 M annually - compare that to the significant financial amounts documented in this article.  And, KofC and NCR are not the same - NCR is a newspaper.  Talk about comparing apples to oranges and stretching an opinion.  Nice try!!!


If you look at the blurred images later in the videos you will see it was not one race being targeted.  The person who brought the video to the news was white, but most of the others being forced into splits were not.

Federer is on fire right now hitting the ball as crisply as he was four or five years ago when he ran away with everything. He's clearly enjoying the game and, of course, he has nothing to lose or prove at this point so he's just relaxed and hitting out. His serve is outstanding right now and he's playing with a tremendous amount of confidence. Now on to the clay season preparing for the French.


You say "volunteering", but their prez said "inviting".

Your earlier post here certainly would lead one to believe that you are ready for the US to just lie back and let everyone else do the work for us.

Your list is also intriguing.

You do understand that our "self-defense" requires copious amounts of fossil fuel and mineral resources, not to mention a huge chunk of taxpayer dollars.

You do understand that bringing manufacturing back to the US means either investing in clean energy/practices or wearing gas masks a la the Chinese.

You do understand that had we stayed on top of our infrastructue in the first place we wouldn't have the daunting project we are looking at today.  This is the sort of habitual neglect that tells the tale.

How about a toileting analogy, because here we agree.

 The French are the perfect choice.  You see, over there they have something called a bidet.

No doubt they will do a better job of wiping up after us than we are willing to do for ourselves.


False.

"Fascism is a form of radical authoritarian nationalism, characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and control of industry and commerce, that came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe. The first fascist movements emerged in Italy during World War I, before it spread to other European countries. Opposed to liberalism, Marxism, and anarchism, fascism is usually placed on the far-right within the traditional left–right spectrum."


I'm guessing "down market" folks would be the ones that might grow their own. Making them the "artisnal growers".  Growers can produce about 1 gram of pot per watt of light, growing four plants using a 600-watt HPS lamp could produce about 150 grams or 5.0 oz per plant. . Do that 4 times a year on a 90 day grow cycle, you have 80 ounces. I smoke weed every night before bed(sleep like a baby) and likely would never use more than 3 ounces per year. I'm guessing numbers like that reduce the need for the black market.


But the ones still selling heroin and meth to the 'poor black folks' and the rich 'white folks' are still going to prison.

And the ones killing their rival drug dealers and pimps (mostly black victims, of course) are still going to prison.

And none of that has anything to do with personal responsibility or lack of  moral values being taught while they were growing up.


She didn't take office  until January 2005, and I don't recall her having CBC membership. Can you be specific?


Polls are the opium that the 1% use to stupefy the rest of us. They use them to try and influence election outcomes and public opinion, rather than measuring them. We have just seen ample proof. Nice that G&M is trying to do the same. Clinton is a crook, the American people chose the clown instead. Frankly, faced with that difficult choice, I would have done the same thing. Nobody polled me.

Thanks for the data, and revealing that the data you built your article on doesn't account for income.

I agree that there is a great deal of differences in students that attend Bellevue schools.  No two are identical after all.

The point of my comment, for you and the other commentators, is that to only report on ethnicity and results carries the implication that only ethnicity matters.  A clearer statement that income matters a lot, a little , or not at all would have made this a complete article.  Even a reference to a study (from a wider community, if no study was available from BSD) about that correlation would have been an interesting addition to the article.

I'll hang on to my belief that family income matters a lot in educational outcomes, (without defining "a lot"), until I see sufficient evidence is does not. I think there would likely be a wide variance in "how much", and "why" income matters.


Me thinks that all newborns should be handed a little gun just as soon as they draw their first breath...Pink for Suzy, and Blue for Billy!


It's the GOP edition of "bipartisan". Really apparent in the actions of those like Cruz, Ryan and McConnell. In the upside-down world of the GOP, "bipartisan" means that Democrats give the cons everything they want, no matter how extremist and radical and un-American what they want is.


So a teenager with potential but never given the chance to excel in a public school hears the spiel of a for profit school & falls for the empty promises believing they finally have a chance to make something of themselves when in fact the school's resources go to recruitment of new students rather than actual education should be liable for falling victim to greedy operators & slack Gov't oversight?
That seems harsh for a kid just trying to make something of themselves.


Because they ruined their own countries collectively.


I'm wondering about that too. The legislature can invalidate the law two years after it's enacted, if the law is brought into being by referendum. We'll see. Pot is NOT a money maker here at all. What little profit for the state will be lost in law enforcement and bureaucratic paper work/fees.


Hey, fake Frank. More trolling? Yep. Loser.


Murray is a symbol of a diabolic injustice perpetrator and must be removed in accordance with his own standards.


The PF dividends should be paid to Alaskans and not to be used to pay the taxes for the big three, oil corporations.


Ive owned seven wranglers and loved them all, if a chinese company bought them I would bail. That would ruin the brand and that would be it for the American icon.


Why?  Make it legal just like pot.  If people OD on it, well that's their own fault for doing something so stupid.


If you are making America great, you should be able to answer the questions on how, and not scorn the press for asking about the details.

All you who are against torture need to watch  the movie "Unthinkable" about  a CIA interrogator.  It is about an American-Iranian raised in Iran educated in Nuclear Physics  in Europe who buys Plutonium from the Russians and makes 4 medium size nuclear bombs and places them in 4 large American cities.  He allows himself to be caught after sending films of him planting 3 of the nuclear bombs. The CIA interrogator only finds out where the 3 bombs are after torture and shooting the terrorist's wife  in front of him.   The CIA interrogator realizes by the amount of plutonium in each of the three bombs that there must be a fourth nuclear bomb somewhere in an American city.  He then threatens to kill the terrorist's  children in front of .  The FBI agents  seize the CIA interrogator and handcuff him.  The female FBI agent releases the terrorist who grabs her gun and kills himself. The CIA interrogator says you have traded a million American lives for two children. What would you have done?


to date there has been no "scientifically valid data" supporting the notion fruit juices don't cause Aids. Looking for reverse proof is not the best form of scientific inquiry.


New York Times......


Probably Hillary...


The same minister who reassured Canadians that the refugees would not be receiving more than the citizens already here? Wouldn't trust him or any of his colleagues whatsoever.


No, she should have a couple of kids, knowing she may be deported, then when things go wrong blame it on the government.


And that has happened in New York state? Or maybe eliminating property taxes, income taxes and corporate taxes for ten years has generated a boom of business in the state? If the country did the same, only set as permanent policy, then we would see economic growth unlike this country has ever seen. These policies work and work well. Income disparity has grown much worse in the last 7 years due to democrat strangulation of business in this country. Also, unemployment among minorities, especially blacks and black teens has skyrocketed in the last 7 years. As many leaders in the minority community have pointed out, the democrats have done nothing to actually help them in any way. What do they say about doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result? Mmmmmm.


eloisa, were you an english teacher by chance? is it really one of the most wonderful cities on earth? the inequality in london is worse than in honolulu. homelessness, destitution, racial, religious and ethnic divisions, poverty. those palaces were built with money stolen from countries around the world. those titles were unearned, unless you consider murder, rape, pillage and destruction of whole communities and countries as work. the internet has taken the blinders off, the young, and some old people too can now get the unvarnished truth about everything. hopefully they will see through the 'royal' bs we have been fed for centuries and begin repairing their world.


Tell ya what, Catherine.

Concentrate upon the legal immigration process versus the illegal immigration process, and stop pretending that they are one in the same, OK?

What matters, bottom line, is assimilation, that is, those that wish to assimilate unto our Nations values and laws, and those that do not.

Assimilation means not only believing within this Nation, but defending its own ideology.

It does NOT mean flying the flag of their own country of origin, or the ideology of the country of origin all the whilst taking advantage of the freedoms and benefits that this Nation has to offer them.

The "ladder", as you call it, Catherine, shall always be there, should the individual that climbs it, wishes that upon the top rung, they shall be called, and represented, as an American, not a hyphenated version of it, not as an expatriate from any other location, but as an American.

Period.

You, Catherine, accentuate the "hyphen" before American.

I accentuate the "American" aspect of it.


Naomi Goldenberg, I wonder what the gender imbalance is in your chosen field?


The 2 million dollar plus homes are not selling well now in Vancouver so who are all these Vancouverites that are supposedly down scaling to Victoria and buying?  Few Vancouverites can move here if they can't find jobs to transfer to so it's got to be foreignors that are driving up the prices.  There is hardly anything for a retiree to buy here apart from condo apartments.  Estate sale properties in original condition sell for 1200K and then it takes another 700-800 K to build new.    The inventory here is scant and terrible quality.  Time to bring in the foreign real estate tax now so builders can provide buyers with new detached homes !!!  Victoria needs a complete overhall in building.


As a Marine I've heard that expression a lot, and have never gotten a sense of sarcasm from it once, or bitterness or anything other than one citizen's sincere thanks for another's work.  I am greatly humbled by it.

If I did pick up sarcasm I'd most likely respond the way Marines respond to non-lifters, non-hackers, armchair types.


That is mighty white of you. Do you want me to thank you?


Too little, too late, and one diluted plea deal hardly defines success of the program or justifies the expenditures.  Looks like they could do with half the size (and cost) of this facility and still have excess capacity.

AND, can we not just give whatever it is IT is to these blood-thirsty individuals on condition that they just stay where they are, and get on with their lives, and preferably leave us to get on with ours? Heck, this is all just so tiresome!!


Since Netflix is worldwide, it would be informative to know what arrangements they have with other countries. It would seem since it was brought up that Canada and particularly Quebec is the outlier.


Thats how they planned it......always in the favor of the law.


You totally predictable hon...same basic hyperbole


Economics 101:

Here is a question for you. Lets say you lived in Singapore- Their supreme leader is insulted by Trump. Meantime the companies that operate in Singapore can save/make money by doing Biz with, for or in the US. Do you think that hurting Mr Presidents Feeeeelings is going to stop the deal? Hell no- Money Trumps Insults every time. Businesses follow revenue not the cry baby's.

If our goods go over seas they get taxed when reaching destination. In most circumstances the USA charges Importers no tax selling goods here. Is that a fair system? We need 20 Trillion. No more free stuff.

Corporations that pay less tax operating in the US than they do say in Ireland then that company will compare wages and tax implications on both sides. If said Corp can put more to $ to the bottom line here than there its good by Ireland and hello USA. IE: Jobs for us.

Ya got a lesson without a loan- educate yourself- economics make the world go round. Ya, even with, over and in a wall.

Al, your entire lying Trump Russia Collusion hoax is coming to an end after 11 months of dry holes.  Finally the corruption of government by the dirty corrupt Obama-Clinton Cartel will be exposed.  You guys will be be proven wrong again.  When will you guys learn not to get into bed with the Clintons?  You should feel used, dirty and cheap.  Don’t forget to see a nurse for the proper shots before rejoining the rest of us.

Socialists only see how they live in relation to the people they see around them.  They care not if they are actually better off;  in other words, their goal is to pull down everyone around them to their same level.


Wow Jack, it's my opinion that you need to base your questionable assumptions on facts rather than untrue statements.  Currently, Alaska's primary imputus for the Transportation budget is primary dependent on Federal dollars.  Yes, that means roads, airports and bridges.  Second, without Ted Stevens bringing home the bacon for so many years from the federal coffers, no infrastructure in Alaska would exist, especially the Joint Federal-State Trans Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS).  Revenue from the State-Federal TAPS the backbone of what the State of Alaskas Budget provides in SHARING a very small financial piece of services to Alaska, including public safety and law enforcement.  Third, 90% of the State of Alaskas revenue is wholly dependent on natural resources from Rural areas.   Much more can be done in Alaska with respect given to all governing authorities for all Peoples.  Tribes and the State can coexist and benefit the future of all People without the 'sky is falling' attitude.


Baloney... you just weren't paying attention in the 90s.


"....Roberts, who created "Wild West Alaska" and is looking for new ideas here, said pitching shows today requires a shift to better stories with authenticity, more "Making a Murderer" and less "Duck Dynasty.".....

Well, if it's more "Making a Murderer" that he's looking for, he's certainly in the right place, there's a lot of murderin' going on in Alaska these days

Ah, so you are attempting to be funny. A shame that you don't actually think adhering to Church teaching is important.


The term "rape culture" describes nothing more than an assertion from feminist theory, and while it is not fact, it is deliberately provocative, and many among those who do real work (instead of merely talking about it) to reduce the prevalence of rape contest its use.

“In the last few years, there has been an unfortunate trend towards blaming “rape culture” for the extensive problem of sexual violence on campuses. While it is helpful to point out the systemic barriers to addressing the problem, it is important to not lose sight of a simple fact: Rape is caused not by cultural factors but by the conscious decisions, of a small percentage of the community, to commit a violent crime,...”

The author's use of this term inadvertently reduces the effectiveness of her commentary.


Xanthea Limberg is a 30 year old with no experience outside politics and to put her in charge of water etc is scary.  She is though slavishly loyal to De Lille and that matters to De Lille!

Zille, not my favourite person either, has a good track record and experience. What Laws has her administration violated... surely not those tablets loaned to her son for teaching in Khayelitsha or the birthday cake?

Your argument about politicians travelling overseas would apply to most the world over...not a good argument! .... and a pretty cheap shot to suggest Zille and others went there for personal tourism.


That may have been the case for some CC&Rs but hardly the case for most.  I took the liberty of perusing my own ( from the 60's ) CC&Rs and nary a mention of race, color or creed in any of it. On the whole they tend to serve a very useful function to help keep neighborly peace and prevent flagrant abuses. You might want to do a little research of your own.


By that logic, nobody who doesn't desire marriage should ever be ordained because they wouldn't be sacrificing enough. Priesthood isn't just about sacrifice. It's also (in theory, anyway) about embracing a vocation to be one's best and happiest self.

And, by the way, committed celibacy is always a sacrifice, regardless of your sexual orientation.


I don't think Chin is losing.  The history of Muslim Bans shows Trump running away from challenges.  Chin, along with many others contesting the Muslim Bans, is being effective.  If Chin and the many others challenging the Muslim Bans weren't effective, we'd still be saddled with Muslim Ban I.  Their good work has relegated that misguided policy, along with Muslim Ban II, to the ash heap of history where it belongs.


Translation: I can't handle the fact that the guy I voted for POTUS is either the dumbest SOB to ever hold the office, or he's been totally compromised by the Russians; one of our greatest adversaries.

Absolutely!   And you have to hold the stocks for time enough for compounding to work. The reason there is no ETF such as John has designed is that paid managers feel they have to do something to earn their bonuses.  Buy and hold isn't really their thing.


Doesn't matte who's in office....money talks and we are left to clean up the mess.  The problem is the mess is getting too big to clean up.  The day of fiscal-reckoning will come sooner than later.


It isn't so brittle that it can't be used to make a functioning lower. The stress is mostly on the upper receiver an AR15. Now I'm not saying it will last as long as a lower machined from billet aluminum, but it will last long enough to murder 50 people attending a concert.


So you view Trump as "handsome, debonair, hairy chested, macho, good looking, vibrant, well spoken and endowed"?  Seriously?

You shouldn't really be judging others, as your posts offer nothing except hostility and negativity.


Obama, Hillary & Bill, Reagan, Cheney...   Other then J. Carter - who didn't get the bonus?


Mark

Just pointing out selective facts makes YOU the person Gwyn is talking about in the article.

Did you also point out that Sweden does not have to contend with being physically over 22 times larger in area like Canada is and all the challenges associated with being a huge, sparsely populated country?

I didn't think so.


The city is a bit better about noise, but the County "doesn't enforce noise regulations" according to Jane Burgess who I talked with a while back about a neighbor's loud, late parties.  I find that really interesting, as the first couple of sentences of the County's noise ordinance, it states that loud noise can be harmful to one's health, and goes on to list noise sources that aren't OK.  Go figure.. Again, what do we pay taxes for?


The color of the school is not material. The facts are simple:
- People, even children, have a constitutional right to freedom of expression
- Schools may intrude on this right where needed to serve the educational purpose of the environment, but no more than the absolute bare minimum necessary intrusion can be tolerated (see the Freedom of Expression Ombudsman's articles on the topic)
- Hair rules, of any kind, are neither minimal nor necessary -they are all unconstitutional and only  survive because they are not challenged enough.
- The cause measureable harm to students - actually undermining the educational purpose of the school.
-To make all this worse, they tend to have racist outcomes (regardless of intentions or the color of the rulemakers)

They are unjustifiable acts of authoritarianism. Opposing them is a good thing.

As for my childhood - if I feel motivated to protect others from the injustices I have experienced, how is this a bad thing ? It's just the golden rule.


I see the Corrupt Bastards Club is still on course with the Taj Mahawker II, with the original Taj Mahawker issue, complete with the crooks who colluded with our so-called 'representatives, still facing lawsuits and misdirection in the continued attempt to fleece the public of massive amounts of ca$h.

November election is almost here. Throw these thieves OUT. Everyone who was involved with this outright theft and mismanagement of public funds, throw them OUT. No matter if they have a D, R, or I after their name, throw them OUT. The people involved with this larcenous act need to be prosecuted and jailed. Mark Pfeffer and Bob Acree should be charged under federal racketeering laws and sued down to their socks. Hawker and company should be similarly stripped of every dime and jailed.

Any person running for office who pledges to have such corrupt and slimy excrescences as these FLOGGED for Malfeasance in Office has my vote.


Thanks for your uninformed post.  But you have no idea what you're talking about when it comes to mortgage insurance.


I appreciate and recognize that the Alaska Senate was at least willing to consider the solutions Walker has put forth, make changes, and at least try to deal with the State's budget crisis.  The House, and it's "leader" Chenault, have to bear the brunt of doing nothing.  They have said no, no, no, but have certainly whined about how hard it is to make these decisions.  Governor Walker has been willing to offend and be ridiculed by making his proposals, and yet a house of 40 people can't work together enough to solve a huge threat to the state.  Cowards and ne'er-do-wells who have done little to earn the pay they got and more than enough to earn the lack of respect from the Alaska citizenry.


The effects of the Trudeau government are beginning to show in the economy.


What a truly sad and dismal commentary on the state of politics in Canada that this man could be considered to be a serious contender for leader of one of our major political parties.  Truly sad.

The more charitable among us might describe his performance as Speaker of the House of Commons lacklustre.  Others would be inclined to use words like incompetent partisan.


That would be economic suicide.
The entire Free World would boycott China.


Go study a map.


Just because someone is an "ordained" priest does not make him a good or orthodox priest.


That's the problem. Russia sees Poland in a different light. Kala! There's money to be made, no different than how China sees NoKo. Money talks. They don't cast Poland aside because it's rubbish, it's has a potential to be a Cash boon.
You don't have to like whats going on with the Country but if there's money to be made, make it. They not being picky about it, money is MOney


Cutting taxes and certain programs at the federal level does not preclude them being assumed at the state level. As the U.S. is a federation of states, more of these programs could be handled by the individual states themselves. Under the 10th amendment, the states retain the right to provide for public health and safety of which environmental protection and health care fall. Of course that would just mean a lowering of federal taxes and a raise of state taxes. There is also something to be said about greater efficiency and economies of scale of having some of these services provided by the federal government and Americans have seen the ineffectiveness of some states in handling their health infrastructure like water (e.g. Michigan). It would however allow Trump to be able to say he fulfilled his election promise of lowering taxes by downloading more services on to the states. Many American's don't approve of a large federal government anyway.

Glad neither I  nor anyone in my family was there.  Why?  Because there was  a large  Pitbull on an insufficient chain not being controlled by its owner(s).


Do the reactions to your comment make you proud, RadirD?


Perhaps you should explain exactly what the inference of your oblique sentence is alluding to.  There are many Canadians who prefer 'down to earth' honest- straight -talk instead of convoluted conjecture ...

No, Buts would not let him.


It's good to see the United States is finally dealing with their illegal immigrant problem.  And if Mexico (or any country south of Mexico) isn't ready for the wave of illegals coming back their way, they better get ready because it's coming at them full speed.


LOL...so, It's OK that democrats do it as well...but you're now sniveling because you're losing at THAT as well?  What can I say.....you have my condolences?


Writers that advocate Islamophobia, i.e., SHEEMA KHAN are really soft terrorists who are muzzling freedom of speech. Why Islam cares only for their followers, not all Canadians. STOP worrying about Muslims all over the world and take care of all Canadians. People like you are responsible for young terrorists.


No, Bush is no racist he shown that many times. However it is evident that the people at "Fair" certainly are...


He suffered such a massive bankruptcy ten years or so ago that he is legally able to write down his income taxes for years into the future. Sort of the shill game going on with the oil companies on the north slope. They get to go into the out years with deductions that are not taken this year on work done this year. Lobbyists, lawyers and campaign contributions determine who pays and who plays. Trump is a player not a payer. Paying taxes is for the stupid people like you and me.


" Particularly large amount of money in their private investments in their corporations"....."large" by Justin and  Morneau's standards , or by the standards of their lessers?

 So female entrepreneurs save money to cover maternity leave....what happens if they fail to conceive? Does the exception end with the menopause?


The use of that language is used to illustrate how stupid this non-issue is.


Let's parse that assertion:

- Provide, if you will, the teaching of the four cardinals that they are teaching without any authorization.

- Provide, if you will, the order, directive, or command of lawful authority which the four cardinals are defying.

- Since the cardinals asked for clarification in their request citing specific instances of prior teaching, and since the Holy Father has not declared publicly which of competing interpretations - if any - are acceptable, provide if you will a description of the "union" with the Petrine Office would require.


Trump is doing exactly what he said he would do. The left have been totally distracted by his bad behavior with the press, political incorrectness, his "lies" etc. They are all "outraged" and are spending all their efforts trying to vilify Trump.

I think they're being played by a master player, but they think they are the smart ones (people like SNL actors can't fathom that there are smarter people than them out there). Wrong!


The Knights of Columbus must be doing something right for NCR to be this obsessed with them!


Did you read the article? It references court cases from 2010.


Good article.

". . . the Gauteng cabal has very little association with, and even less time for, the high-end whites in the Western Cape . . ."
A rare acknowledgment that the "new" DA is anti-white. It's the height of irony that some black voters still refuse to vote DA because "it's for white people".


The Ontario manufacturing industry has been just as devastated by cheap goods from low cost countries as the US.

Not to ignore or excuse Trump's personal failings, but it seems like a good idea to align with the US on his strategy to bring manufacturing back to North America, it would be very dangerous not to.

I am concerned that the smug sense of superiority and hatred for the US so prevalent in Central Canada and the Liberal Party will prevent Canada from joining the US in this endeavor.


"So hockey skipped over the settlement/acknowledgment stage and went straight to its final card, the players. They were just as resistant as NFLers to rewriting The Code."
I've never been able to figure out why the players (even through their union, the NHLPA) haven't pushed for rule changes to protect themselves.
In the end, I just stopped watching, not that I was ever spending big bucks on the sport to begin with.

Not to mention the billions spent by political parties on doing exactly that: Influencing voters to vote for their candidate.


Canadian tech companies don't want to train anyone. What does that mean for Canada, when the only experienced people will be foreigners?


Again, I think you are conflating being non-white with being a new comer or somehow outside the Canadian enterprise. I'm not sure what the "Canadian diet" means, for instance, especially since we've been importing fruits, in your example, from other countries for generations, as well. Take the banana, for instance. I think you are also assuming that Canadian "privileges" are shared equally among all Canadians. Statistics (never mind history) tell us this is not true.


There is already a so called SOCAN &Resound Fee- establishments have to pay for having entertainment &music etc

I hope the US presses Canada on our dairy marketing monopoly. Give it up and most Canadians will cheer with glee.


What has Trudeau done?

Is he the one buying all the houses in Vancouver & Toronto?

Is he the one that improved the economy of our biggest trading partner?

Is he the one that improved the price of oil?

What has he done other then spend and spend.


Morse came in with his ruling already decided.
What stops Walker from vetoing the whole thing?  Apparently only Bill Walker.


At least the Colorado legislators have come up with a budget that seems a little more compassionate than the one put forth by the administration.


It's called the AFFORDABLE Care Act... How ironic is that...?


Thanks for the links, AndrewWalden. If true, though, the group fits right into the New Left Progressive movement.


Guess in her world only the old fishes in the sea exist.


This is a common tactic to attempt to discredit someone by making negative comments to obscure the facts. Our public & private interests are not relevant to this issue. We encourage creative interests. I'm a member of the Boulder Healing Art's Ass'n & Spiritualist National Union (UK). I just returned from a Spiritualist retreat in BC, Canada. We don't have time to maintain a website.

EIN networks internationally, nationally, and locally. We have done Federal and local testimonies regarding RF environmental & safety culture issues since 1986 and consult for different organizations and scientific committees behind the scenes.

A Congressional Committee investigated the Rocky Flats Grand Jury case. The Wolpe investigators and RF Whistleblowers met at my home for confidentiality and security reasons. Howard Wolpe and his investigators didn't think any of this was "Chicken little-ish" and it is reflected in the Congressional Record which includes former FBI Agent Jon Lipsky’s testimony.


True.  But as a soldier who spent some time in the field and some in a secure compound, I can't help but think that the latter is a piece of cake compared to the former.  I'd much rather face a bit of incoming than risk ambushes, mines and booby traps on a trail.

I knew a guy who went completely bonkers almost as soon as he arrived in-country.  He couldn't handle that every "gook" he saw could be a Cong. He barricaded himself in an unused hootch.  Nobody knew if he had weapons in there.  It took about a dozen MPs using CS to get him out and onto a plane back home.

In any event, my point was that there isn't enough information available publicly to critique how Santiago was handled by the medical system in Anchorage.


Still think Trump is stupid? He's split the country East vs. West and put tariffs and countervailing duties on some of our largest exports. Say what you want but he does understand business.


I've had two false allegations during my lifetime.

Once for child molestation,  once for rape.  Both happened when I was a teenager, and both were proven to be unfounded.  For the first. he only mistake I made was pissing off the wrong girl.  The second,  I was a scapegoat for a girls promiscuity,  and an easy target.

They ruined my life at the time.  Nobody verified or gave me the benefit of the doubt.  Instead a got a lynch mob,  and cold silence after--  Nobody at my school talked to me for months.   It cut me so deeply that I was irreparably damaged,  and since then I find it impossible to emotionally invest in people.  I'll never recover from the way people treated me during that time.  Even after it was all proven to be false I was treated differently.  It taught me hate and contempt, and just like that--  It changed me forever.


Around the world the USA is vilified, demonized and generally abhorred. So why do these 3rd world peasants who offer little and take much keep flocking here? OH...never mind. Looks like I answered my own question. Thanks liberal lunacy.


From three to 434 oocysts per square foot, that remain viable and infectious in the environment for from 1.5 to 4.5 years is not "minuscule."

And your hyperbole and deflection tips over into the absurd.  Incinerating toxo-infected feline carcasses and feces to at least 157 F destroys the oocysts.  Not necessary to destroy big cats in the zoo, which unless they've been exposed to free-roaming house cats probably don't have it anyway.

Nor is it unrealistic or unreasonable to OUTLAW possession of invasive felines from the Islands.  HI already does this for snakes, many species of which are valued PETS, BTW.  Just as mongooses are outlawed from the mainland because of their potential destructiveness should they become invasive.  When I was a kid US zoos couldn't even have them.

So your absurd objections are so much bakwa'as--that's Urdu for the steaming, squishy odoriferous nitrogenous material that intermittently plops from the south end of a northbound male bovine mammal.


Melania compared to Michelle is no comparison.


Note that WolfEagle is the only person who disagrees.


Agreed...you cannot reason with me regarding this issue any more than I seem to be able to reason with you. That is what frustrates you so much. I will continue to share facts and Truth with you even if it is not popular. If you choose not to believe the Truth or facts, that is your perogative. Whether you believe it or not, I am trying to help you. I would rather you not have to face the eventual consequences of your beliefs and actions.


I was "Clean for Gene", McCarthy, who won Oregon just before Bobby Kennedy went to California and his assassination by Palestinian Sirhan B. Sirhan.

We McCarthy supporters thought Bobby Kennedy was an opportunist who only filed for the Presidency after McCarthy had had the courage to oppose LBJ over the Vietnam War.


Arm wrestling is not ‘masculinity’ in any case way.

Hey, if the dogs ate the cons' homework, I know a group that tends to actually still have wonks that are interested in policy, and how to fix up ACA and/or to move onto something even more fiscally responsible, like single payer.


Whining that a private organization didn't want to host VDare isn't advocating for free speech... it's whining about a private organization's decision to not host a particular group.

By that standard, maybe we should protest Christian booksellers for not carrying playboy.


Who wrote this for you, Fikile? There is a decided lack of basic grammar and spelling errors, so this can't possibly be your work. The Guptas must have finally hired someone who can write decently. The ideas and thought process are still crackpot, but at least it's readable now. Thank you.


I've had that same thought. But someone countered my argument with "renters pay property taxes. They just do it through their rent payment to their landlords."  I couldn't disagree, although I can see where, if someone wanted to run down bunny trails, they could take that argument to the extreme.


Bernie's ability to see the failure of the Dem's for what it is is another reason he would have made a good President. It is amazing how many of even the Canadian left can't admit the real problem that Bernie identifies.

As usual, the tournament was well done by ASAA - the Alaska Airlines facility is first rate and folks had a great time.  Congratulations Billy Strickland and the board and staff of ASAA and congratulations to all the young women and men that participated.

You provide the funding to make it possible for kids.


I'm sure glad I bought shares in Alcan - the tinfoil hat brigade is out in full force today!

Everyone can just calm down.  Mr. Trudeau is doing very well, thank you, and Mr. Trump will continue to make a mess of things as per usual.

If the USA continues on it's present course, it's influence on the world stage will be much smaller.  We'll do much better to expand trade with the rest of the world, since we now know that Mr. Trump is completely unreliable.

Those voters who put Trump in office are already starting to see that he can't actually deliver on his fanciful promises.  The coal mines aren't going to reopen, and the textile factories are history, no matter what he says.


if you believe  the boom is fueled primarily by offshore money, then it will be different factors that end the boom.  Cdn rate increases will have minimal impact.  A US Chna trade war could be disastrous if the Chinese economy tanks and funds are withdrawn from our market


It's challenging for me to understand how we need this wood burning plant on the Big Island with the recent advances in solar battery technology. HELCO is certainly aware of the Blue Ion batteries both in production and nearing production that could not only produce the power but could also produce clean burning hydrogen which could replace propane. There are always stories of failed business plans and allowing this to go forward has the earmarks of a bailout for the owners of 30,000 acres of eucalyptus. I read the State and County have 10,500 acres. Is it KS with the other 20,000? I can't wait for the public hearing on this.


What law other than the Johnson Amendment "requires" churches to remain out of politics? Note that this law is rarely enforced anyway, so there is plenty of political activity in churches. I'm wondering where you get the idea that churches stay out of politics entirely - Hillary Clinton spoke at church services, including the Sunday before the election http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2016/11/06/hillary-clinton-speaks-at-philly-church/

If you look at history, tax exemptions for churches started pretty early - Virginia exempted churches from paying property taxes in 1777, followed by New York in 1799 and the city of Washington in 1802. The Seventh Congress also passed a property tax exemption in 1802. Churches were made officialiy exempt from income tax in 1894 when a federal income tax was first proposed http://www.taxhistory.org/thp/readings.nsf/ArtWeb/CFFB1CE42BEFA8B285257BE400723DF8?OpenDocument

I would prefer to not buy these planes because there seems to be a near consensus that they are dated, but if we do purchase them it must be because we are certain they are a lot cheaper and that they will be useful.  Likely cheaper doesn't cut it and we need to know where and how they will be used..  I expect a better analysis from the government.


The headline could also be written as "Two Florida Republican Senators vote against Donald Trump."

Their vote is them sticking by their principles, something that is missing in society, the media, and especially the government.

Why, it doesn't seem to have made you the wiser.   Enforcement of the borders includes air-travel.  We have temporarily visas that used to be enforced and we never had this problem.  If you calculate the cost of healthcare, crime, food stamps and the tons of welfare costs associated with "citizen children/foreign parents",  that head of lettuce you didn't pick costs us all about $95.00.


Are you kidding me ?  Do democrats really think they get all of they're people to vote the same way without threats of their own ?

Yet another boneheaded call from ASD leadership. Main and side roads were a skating rink this morning. Good job.


Derick, I think WE truly do not know how they feel about their pets, lives, situation etc and so we should try not to judge them.

That would probably be plutonium-239, an alpha particle emitter, which presents a very dangerous risk if inhaled.


I agree with you and the NRA 100% on this. Hawaii already has some of the toughest gun laws in the nation. To buy a gun is a complex many-step process of taking a safety course. actually buying (but not receiving) the gun, going to the police department to get a permit (no, it doesn't include concealed carry), return to the gun store for the gun, return to the police department to register, and then finally the gun is yours to take home. Allowing the police the whim to take away that firearm is too vague, with no due process.


Isn`t it better to build the line now when costs are low as well?  If a gasline is needed in this state as infrastructure,.. ever,..then now is the time to make the commitment to our future energy needs,..not wait until the competition gets the jump on the ever growing export anchor customer market, before we even wake up to a lost opportunity to supply low-tariff gas to ourselves from a common-carrier distance-sensitive gasline.  If we don`t invest in ourselves and long term gas nobody else is going to do it for us.  A small B2F pipeline to Fairbanks from say Beluga, would carry gas north until the larger volume line decides to send more south. Pipelines deliver gas in either direction so a smaller line would always be an adjunct for in-state deliveries.  We can fritter our savings away while bitching about taxes and the costs of energy,..or we can take our own destiny in our own hands.  To me it`s just the best long term investment we can make in ourselves, considering the benefits.


So, today in the G&M we have learned that it's immoral to keep pet gerbils, gender science is irrelevant if it is the name of social justice, a carbon tax may thwart Lyme Disease, and learning to love home grown terrorists is the right thing to do.  Thanks Ms. Wente for your weekly sanity check.


I stand corrected - thank you.


Yes, the climate has changed many times during the past 4.5B years. Each time, the extant species have paid a terrible price. We are the first species who can do something about the prospect of yet another extinction.
Is it your position that we shouldn't?


Apologies are empty if the fault is still hidden.  One wishes they would come clean about the causes.  What was going on in the seminaries, and who was protecting and promoting whom?


Not true mc. Changes in incarceration policy that lead to lower prison costs will impact state budget over the longer term and may allow larger subsidies to education. The longest journey begins with a modest first step. Prison and courts are not free. Your suggestion that such costs do not negatively impact peoples' opportunities is simply not true.


Susan is spouting typical victim industry propaganda. The victim industry does a disservice to crime victims by promoting perpetual victimhood to justify lifelong punishment.


After s/he shops here:

basically, you are absolutely correct.


In the political talk of today, this story is not about too many state workers, but about too few state workers. Let's be real and give much needed help to our most vulnerable-children who through no fault of their own need and deserve excellent care. That means helping OCS workers with training/coaching support they need...to help families and children. And not such high caseloads. How many of us could do the OCS worker's job?!


Actually, Carson's selection has nothing to do with the numerous, qualified people President-Elect Trump cold pick for Surgeon General.  Never minding Obama had to fight HIS OWN party for confirmation of his Surgeon General nominee Dr. Murthy; Trump's decision of Dr. Tom Price to lead the DHHS has been met with great support from people who matter, like the American Medical Association.

There is therefor no reason to think his other nominees for the other positions should be less "logical."  Sorry.


Well written and a great big Thank You to Lisa !!!  Lisa for President !!!


Not so funny for those of us who live in Ottawa! Remember that it is not just "lefty" politicians living here, 99% of the population are not politicians.


Bronson Kaahui, You're right that the shooter could have used an airplane. But the fact is that he used guns. That's why gun ownership should be strictly controlled.


I trust General McMasters judgement on this, he is the NSA and should be able to work with and trust (key word here) those who work for him.  If he can't trust him, the man should go.  Same with General Kelly; if the White House staff can't work and play well together, they need to go.  I think the President if finally understanding that concept, and brought Kelly in to bring order.  While dissenting ideas are healthy, they cannot gridlock or derail.  McMasters and Kelly understand that.


There's nothing Substantive in your argument to address. Currently Peruta is awaiting rehearing before the 9th en banc, thus also Richards and Prieto. As it stands, carry is a right in the 9th, if suspended pending. At any rate, try answering my central challenge to your primary claim. If the law has not been enforced, nor even really acknowledged, by state and local LEO, much less Fed, for the past 12 yrs, and hasn't resulted in local/state conflict in that time in Anchorage nor AK, on what rational basis do you claim it will suddenly be an issue if the same situation extends to the UAA campus? Your specious legal theory fails in any analysis of actual practice, both here and everywhere else, ie the majority of states, where permitless carry, both concealed and open, has existed since long before the GFSZA passed.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof, and maybe some legal citations, you've yet to produce either, Captain "Appeal to claimed Authority."


If your point is that what these people did was reprehensible, of course it was. But opposition to capital punishment isn't about warm fuzzy feelings for the guilty. It's about our commitment to the principle that God is the author of human life and only God has the right to take it.

The death penalty is only justifiable if it is the only means by which to protect society from a dangerous person. Revenge isn't an acceptable reason for it and neither is revulsion at the crimes of the guilty.


Aaron Burr.


In Paul v. Virginia, 75 U.S. 168 (1869), the Court defined freedom of movement as "right of free ingress into other States, and egress from them.  It's not a tax thing.  It means we can't charge them to enter our state .  It's got nothing to do with charging taxes for goods and services purchased and used.


How does someone respond to maybe the most ignorant comment ever written?  Seriously, are you kidding...Tell you what come out to Alberta, stand on a box and shout out your concerns....oh please.


Our wonderful bureaucracy at work.........


I guess you missed I was responding to this comment: "With all the hate that goes with being trans don't you think that will cause some problems in the military as it does in the general public now?"

It's only you right-wingers that are oddly fixated on people's genitalia and bathroom issues and what's proper room for what. Nobody else cares.

Like I said in another comment, I'm a mountain climber. On a glacier rope team, if someone has to go, they don't untie from the rope and find privacy. Male or female you drop your drawers and take care of business right there in front of your rope mates. I'm quite certain our military professionals are more than capable of handling a similar situation without having their delicate sensibilities offended like you right wingers do.


I think I’ve had this discussion with you before, and you’ve proven to me that it’s better for the environment if trees burn instead of becoming lumber , but forgive me for asking how many years will it take to re-wild the public forest lands? Wouldn’t it be better to just log them all now and start from scratch?


The 'Joke of the Day' right here, folks.


200 vacancies in the PD. Training normally has 30 vacancies which they use to fill attrition rates , but with 200 vacancies they are far behind their allocated strength. What this translates into, no recruit classes or they are very small under 20 and they are only filling priority  uniform patrol slots. After graduation recruit is assigned to FTO-16 weeks of OJT with a rater. When they complete this training, they are assigned to 4th Platoon, Waikiki, and work foot beats alone or in pairs but because of the shortage, when they complete FTO, they go out into the patrol districts to fill motor beats(white car drivers). CRU Units(plainclothes patrol officer usually assigned to target property crimes in the patrol district) are also impacted meaning a commander will put those resources back into uniform to fill patrol beats. It is probably getting worse because lots of recruits are quitting while in recruit school, not cut out for the regimentation, new generation entering work force.


Really?

You would rather have an aggressive and abusive police officer, who holds the balance of power and is trained and skilled at usurping the law to preserve his authority as opposed to preserving your rights, vs. that of a criminal with no tools, no power and no real ability to hide his crimes?

Canada is in dire need of police reform and Canadians are in dire need of education on how broken the social contract is.

Don't trust today's police officer.


Not really. Freedom of speech isn't trumped by sensitive egos that can't handle words they find offensive.

If a school has a policy that any harrassing comments aren't acceptable in school, they have a policy across the board, that's great. But it can't be discriminatory. It can't favor any particular group of kids. So, the kid blurting out "stupid" towards another kid receives the same punishment as a kid bullying someone for their differences. Why would you differentiate between offending comments?

Bullying in school isn't acceptable, even the pressure to conform to someone else's standards. Yet, these kids can't expect "support" from other kids for the choices they make.

Understand now?


I cannot stand it when actors and sports players spout off their anti-American rhetoric. It makes me not want to watch their movies or games nor attend their performances.


100,000 of those books were bought by Obama for his new library in Chicago.


manufactured outrage, LOL? Better hold your fire there friend, you are talking about every plank of the political left in case you havent noticed.


Never heard of inflation?
If Trump had invested his inheritance in mutual funds he'd be worth 3 or 4 times as much.
Plus he wouldn't have lost a huge fortune for people who invested in his bankrupt ventures.


Oh WoW!

This is how "The Hunger Games" start.


41 points and -34 +/-...yikes.  No reason for Duchene to be unhappy with his situation.  Sometimes it's better to say nothing than to try to say things you don't believe.


I am guessing that Pence and his boss don't like Hawaii after the local federal judge blocked their Muslim ban. The lei represents everything about Hawaii and Pence didn't want to keep it longer than he had to. Just a way to show his contempt for the Hawaiians.


Statues are for heroes. When you erect statues of villains you glorify their accomplishments as heoic. The primary accomplishment of the confederacy and its leaders who are now enshrined in statuary around the South was to secede and start a civil war with America for the purpose of retaining slavery against an entire race. By glorifying that, those who erected and those who support them today are tacitly stating that if we had our way we would again endeavour to return to those days of total white race dominance. Of course we can't, so we have these statues in our public places to tell the world what we still believe in. These bigoted white supremacists who took up arms in the name of slavery are our heroes. Surely the southern states have other truly noble humanitarian heroes who's stories would be better told in the public parks throughout the south than these abhorrent symbols of apartheid and racial cruelty.


Scandinavian governments don't face well-financed and armed thugs blocking streets, attacking government offices, causing deaths and setting fire to food stocks (then blaming the government for food shortages).


Just say "NO" to the extended TAX as the BOONDOGGLE RUSTING RAIL HAS BEEN TOTALLY MISMANAGED AND WAS BUILT ON A FOUNDATION OF LIES AND DECEPTION


Isn't it sad when he needs help to determine his action was inappropriate.

What is terrifying is that he ignores them or fires them or threatens them or...

How anyone can justify Drumpfs actions at this point is flat dangerous. I do mean a clear and present danger to the people. The people anywhere. It's not just the USA where racial violence is an ugly part of daily life. War perpetuated by people who disagree with the others religion. Political power grabbers bent on eliminating competition. Just like Roman times!

Drumpf = "sad"


You and Icon66 have been making those anti-Trump "predictions" for well over a year now and so far you are both still wrong every single time you make one of them.

I hope you live more than eight years; otherwise your tombstone might have to read: "Trump will be Convicted"!


"IT projects are the strategic applications of managing motivations."  "Healthcare is a relative issue."
Nice word salad, with an extra helping of baloney.

From what I remember from the month in college I didn't drink (17 hour semester and very little self control at the time), O'Doul's was about as good as it gets.


Pains me to say because I'm a fan, but I definitely see Siemian becoming the next Ryan Fitzpatrick. Always good enough to get signed, never good enough to stay signed.


No one has proved Bannon to be a bigot. It's all secondhand hearsay based on the whisper game.


In the outlying regions of the Vancouver area, properties that are priced above the $1 million are very slow to sell while condos, townhouses and detached under$1 mil are selling, vacuuming up the inventory and increasing rapidly in price. Pretty soon the minimum and maximum price for anything from a garden shed on a lot to a mansion will be $1 million. As usual, government hasn't thought this out.


State employees got a pay raise but education got slashed.  Maybe kids need a union that gives thousands of dollars in campaign donations to the governor.


Glen, when people come to America legally they never mention their extended "family".  Once here they almost immediately start all paperwork needed to eventually bring their entire family= Mother and Father, Sister and her Husband, and five children, etc..  The United States is being worked by folks that know once their "family" hits American shores they will receive everything for free.  And, whether some people like it or not, it is happening as we speak.  And yet, we have NO money to spend on our homeless and get them the help they need.

 Where are our priorities as a Nation?


So bitter.

Enjoy the next twelve years.


Is that Donald Jr. seated next to Kremlin-linked Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya?

Nope.

Is that Donald Jr. seated next to Emin Agalarov, son of billionaire Aras Agalarov, who is a Russian oligarch and good friend of Vladimir Putin?

Nope.

Is that Donald Jr. seated next to Rob Goldstone, the conduit for the meeting with Natalia Veselnitskaya?

Nope.


Well put Fred - Michael Bloomberg speaking as an independent at the 2016 DNC: "Trump says he wants to run the nation like he’s running his business? God help us. I'm a New Yorker and I know a con when I see one."


Despite the incredulous nature of these incidents, I don't think you can rule out the  deliberate aspect and it still needs to be considered and investigated.  Would a  terrorist organization or a rogue state use such a method to disable and take out of commission one of our most powerful and needed warships?  It is still possible and perhaps the crew on the other ships involved might sacrifice their careers to make a political statement if so radically motivated and if they will be paid under the table later.  Call me paranoid, but stranger things have happened.  Also, how come no injuries on the other ships?  As if they were anticipating the collisions?  Maybe the Navy brass needs to take a closer look at the assumption that their people were exclusively at fault.  Not the first time crew were "railroaded" to excuse the higher command.


Exactly.  If the appropriate tax was charged to non First Nations cigarette and gas purchases on Six Nations alone, it would be a significant amount of money to go toward these children.


The only thing wrong with your projection Icon666 is that so far ...:
1) The party misdeeds have all been committed by the DNC not the GOP ...don't forget that it was the democrats who sat on their hands, covered their mouth and eyes and put their fingers in their ears like 3 stupid chimps sitting on a wall while Hillary Clinton defrauded and disenfranchised every single democrat of their vote in the primary by kinking those primaries to deny the democrats of a legitimate nominee. Nothing goes to the heart of our system of government than this fraud you all sat around and pretended wasn't happening ...Pathetic!
2) No racist events have been tied to either Trump or the GOP ...and as a matter of fact it's the democrats who have the long and storied history of racism ..not the GOP. Filibustered any civil rights acts lately?
3) Social idiocy you mean like bowing to Saudi Kings? like burning over 9000 gallons of jet fuel on earth day? CONT'D

STOP FLAGGING THIS COMMENT ...PATHETIC!


Privilege, like almost everything else in politics, is in the eye of the beholder. People on the left see it only on the right; people on the right see it only on the left. No one looks in the mirror.

Which is more 'privileged': a tenured female academic of colour or a lower middle-class or working-class white man with only a high school education or less?


I won't go anywhere near the US, thanks. I don't cross-border shop for starters and have no interest in winter holidays in the US.


Latest Nano poll indicates Canada's male respondents prefer the CPC over the LPC.  The opposite is true for female respondents.  This would suggest LPC's ability to win the next election rests on Trudeau's "hair and successors".


And he is also seen as more honest than Donald Trump. What's your point?


I have always said that the taste of spam improves exponentially based on your distance from home!  Sorry spam lovers.

Not true! Unless SCC discontinued the practice after I left in 2009, prisoners regularly went from disciplinary confinement to SHIP!


That's not what I said. Go back and re-read the post. Reading comprehension: practice it.


The church is patriarchal by nature and by origin, if you dislike this fact, why are you Catholic? Are they not Father? You propose calling them Mother, then? I'm sorry, this is a nonsense article about a non-issue, and contrary to your 'deep societal insight', it isn't enlightened in the slightest. Pointless idle chatter.


Are you perhaps referring to the murders in Sainte Foy?


“This isn’t a jail in Turkey or somewhere. This is America.” I wrote a 50 page letter to Sarah Palin and sent it to legislators, the Ombudsman, the ACLU and others. Then I posted parts of it on line in 2009. Here is a subtitle, "AM I AT ABU GHRAIB? No, they have decent health care there." I had to write the thing twice because I had a mysterious hard drive failure after the first one. That letter was about injustice, an incompetent, dysfunctional bush hospital, some other crazy things, what I experienced and observed in the prison system when they had me wrongfully arrested on a false charge to try and use that as leverage to get me to drop an appeal and shut me up. Does it seem like it worked? Instead as a retired RN who had several specialties but the relevant ones here are critical care, ER and psych, some prison infirmaries and prior to being an RN worked with mentally ill legal offenders, so I began a campaign of trying to get something done about what went on. They ignored me.


Exactly.  Canada for good or ill has swung leftward over the past five years so electing another Harper won't work in the short-run.  Yes Harper's policies were reasonably popular about a decade ago but politics goes in cycles and we are in a left wing phase now meaning the political centre is the furthest right one can be and still win.  Attitudes towards deficits, taxes, government spending, and role of government according to most polls have taken a sharp turn left and since Harper didn't adjust he lost.  Yes eventually the pendulum will swing back but that is probably a few elections away.


Thank god for checks and balances! If this so-called leader could dictate the laws, our country would fall apart while he tweets up an alternative facts storm!


So Trudeau wants Canadians to donate for a natural disaster on Canadian soil, yet he just spent $650 million on fighting global anti-abortion laws.  Shouldn't it be the other way around?  http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/ottawa-announces-650-million-for-sexual-and-reproductive-health/article34237503/


Those anarchists are showing up everywhere.  A good swat in the rear may have saved some of them, instead of putting them in time out! They might have learned some personal limits in life!


Excellent suggestions! You're so right about everything bad seeming to happen when you're running late (red lights, slow drivers, etc.). What works best for me is to do everything I can the night before (lay out clothes, pack my lunch, prep and set my coffee maker to get started at its pre-programmed time, prep my work bag...my keys, wallet, etc. are always in the same place in the morning, so they can easily be scooped up), no matter how tired I am, so that I have the minimum to do when I arise, for whenever I slack on something I could have done the night before, doing that extra thing(s) in the morning always hits a snag. It's almost guaranteed!


I'm all for impeaching; however, seems that will never happen with the GOP in charge ... unless Trump finally crosses a line Republicans can't live with -- seems he already has, and yet they do nothing.

However, even if they do take steps to impeach. I believe Trump would never let that happen, he's a coward, so he'd resign, try to make some sort of deal to escape criminal prosecution, and then make up more stories about how he's a great guy who has been victimized.


I believe Trump just wants honest, "fair and balanced" journalists. The public is tired of the direction the country is headed, as evidenced by the over 1000 fed. and State elected positions the Democrats have lost over the last 6 years.
I'm glad Trump isn't going. Do you remember how he was humiliated at the last one?  Cnn and the others have made their bed, now they have to sleep in it.


Being an ally to any community can mean different things at different times, as is the case now for Native Hawaiians.  Seeing as you are admittedly not an ally of Native Hawaiians, I can see why this would be complicated for you to understand.


Great satire !


Hm. Somehow attacking, killing and displacing thousands of people seems a bit of an over response to an attack on just two dozen policemen. As I said in an earlier post, there is more to this story. What is it?


I have noticed that Trump's hair has slowly changed from Ronald McDonald orange to a blondish gray, and that the curls over his ears have gone closer to white sidewalls, a more distinguished and less playboy look. I only wish his policy choices would receive the same orderly discipline.


I remember when Randy Wolf was pitching in the majors and MLB decreed that his brother Jim could not ump behind the plate in any game that Randy pitched. Could they do something similar for Dan Bellino? His Cubs footie pajamas were showing through on many at-bats tioday. Fairly amazing that the Rockies overcame that and won.


The Conservatives will do what is needed to win the next election. Populism and Nationalism are the new politics and the next election will be won by the political leader who recognizes that globalist ideologues like Poloz, Trudeau and Merkle are the faces of the past.


Ya, this should have been an easy win for the Republicans, but the party base was fed a steady diet of hate from the likes of Faux News, Limbaugh, Hannity, and Breitbart. They nominated the worst possible candidate.  The GOP has to change or they will NEVER win another presidential election.


what do you expect when you see President Trump:
his murder in a tax payer funded play,
his head in the hands of a "comedian"???

notice that not 1 dem said anything to stop the killing of Republicans, nothing, this is now war,
and they will kill Trump, as soon as he dies, so will obama and clinton,
the hate will never end, so at least stop the witch hunt NOW,
Mueller either MUST show evidence NOW, or SHUT THE WITCH HUNT DOWN!!!

Please sign the petition to END the witch hunt!!!

How does one ride "the wrong way" on a sidewalk? I've not seen a one-way sidewalk.


Why are Trudeau and Obama so popular? Elite, progressive, big gov`t tax and spend redistributionists? Liberal Hollywood/media elite crowd. Not much in common with ordinary people of achievement and merit, not political lifers. When will the bubble pop?


Nothing funny about it...it's disgusting.  The federal judiciary (please read Article III) has the power to APPLY cases presented to them against the Constitution, and READING THE PLAIN LANGUAGE of the Constitution, decide whether the LAW, NOT the Constitution is correct.  Marshall, in Marbury v. Madison made a huge power grab, and exceeded the powers enumerated in Article III.  Courts don't issue "rulings" ... they issue "opinions"...otherwise, we'd still have slavery.  And if "respecting the courts rulings" is all there is to it...then the Dred Scott case, the Fugitive slave act, fdr's EO 9066, are all still alive and well.  (Hmm, seems the federal COURTS don't even respect their own decisions!)  As far as Trump's pardoning...I refer you TO the Constitution, Article II, Section 2, Clause 1.  And there's nothing funny about aliens from other countries entering and staying here illegally...that, in and of itself, constitutes criminal actions.


Hey HIE.  the HATE and vile statements from the left is so disgusting, its really insane.
Calling people racist or KKK supporters because they voted for the President of the USA is wrong.  STOP the HATE !

The "If taking of innocent life is wrong...." had nothing to do with pedophiles. The argument is that of the Law and State. Murder is the removing and/or killing of innocent life. And that is the Law of the State explicitly describing that as a crime. And hence why the debate is reasonable. The lifeform is human in all developmental stages which an infant is born and proceeds from their mother's womb - the life is human. Essentially why it is debatably wrong to take the life of a human being developing through all stages from zygote-to-embryo-through fetal development to an infant. Which is why it is a serious matter  to take away such a life through abortion. Thus, not a religious argument, but that of the Law and State.

Wake up and pull your head out of........the sand. Plenty of people now are living 'off the grid', driving e-cars, and heating their homes with renewable energy. Only dinosaurs and the working poor are relying on fossil fuels for their energy needs.


I was at the bus on Thursday and disappointed to see that he had defaced the exterior...what an inconsiderate loser to deface something so sacred


Not a bicyclist, but I recall well the throttle of "purist" recreational types in Juneau, who shut down snow machine usage and managed to absolutely prevent anyone from riding a four wheeler (atv) anywhere. And other restrictive measures. This "political activism" sort of activity has crept insidiously into many spheres of life in the greater USA, and slowly, quietly, measures are passed and life becomes complicated, and more expensive. Unreasonable building codes, restrictions, and more. Governments profits from fees and become bloated, typically with an attitude which is unfriendly.
    There are nicely balanced responses here. The point brought forward is certain lobbyists need to be watched very closely. Strange stuff has been pushed quietly into law and regulation. Responsible recreational folks find themselves spending vast amounts of free time fighting often unreasonable restrictions, while other extremists of both ilk create hard feelings and can denigrate quality of life.


In just a couple days everyone seems to have moved on. Let's see if I have to rate comments to post this...


Petty childishness is alive and well in the Media Mecca.


The Chump administration AKA the Apple Dumpling Gang and F Troop. Chump junior is corporal Agarn and even has the slick hairdo. Talk about disorganized crime. This comedy would really be a funny tv series except for the fact that it is for real.


And a man did it and it DID work. How odd, right? But certainly that double standard is just coincidental, right?
