Re: " Dose  (sic) regulating gun accessories work...From what was learned so far from LV is he had large mags, bump stocks"

He was in a room by himself away from anyone that could subdue him and considering you can swap a magazine in less than 3 seconds the capacity of the magazine would have made no difference. As far as the bumpstocks, you can bumpfire a semi automatic much more accurately and consistently with a rubberband or belt loop. Also if he had used a hunting rifle with a scope and bipod and chose his targets carefully I speculate it would have taken longer in a large, noisy crowd to realize what was happening and he would have killed more people but wounded fewer.


Obviously the innumerable and interminable experiences of hellish suffering aren't sufficient to get Jesus to return. There seems to be a sense that an Adventist level of holiness has to be reached to actuate the Second Advent. Jimbob7, you imply that Adventist failure is purposeful.

Yes, it's that simple, but with a psychological twist. There is a sub-conscious realization that holiness is unachievable so it is a convenient cover up for what can't happen under any circumstance. His non arrival is expected. A false aura of hope necessarily preserves the myth on which Adventism was born, indelibly recorded on the Seventh-day logo, "Adventist."

 "Hope" and "soon," are artful reinterpretations, both of which ignore the fact the Adventist self-anointed role of end time directors was a farce. But Seventh-day and Adventist are Siamese twins, inseparable even by Dr. Carson. On separation one dies, the other, Seventh-dayism,  lives as an unattractive orphan, doomed to gloomy homelessness.


Tax based pensions should never have happened.  The first question that should have been asked is...       'What if future voters decide not to continue funding this retirement', and now they have.


Prepare to be trickled down upon.


I don't know which Leafs fans you are referring to but I doubt whether any of us are making assumptions about making the playoffs given the nature of the opponents that they have to play five times in seven days to finish off the season. They include the three best teams in the Eastern conference and what is likely to be a full strength Tampa side which was good enough to make the cup final last season. That won't be easy.
What relevance does the past have to this though? In case you hadn't noticed, the current ownership and management have not been around for ten seasons. I had misgivings about Bell and Rogers taking ownership of the team but, to date, they have allowed the managers to run the show and agreed to pay big money to deal with the mistakes of previous management. The team has now cleared the deadwood and is way of ahead of where they would be expected to be  at the end of last season. The previous seasons are irrelevant; what matters is how they have played this season.


I'm sure they'll stop the guy holding the "Don't vote for this incumbent! He raised your taxes!"  sign, but let the HGEA guys standing right next to him continue waving their "Caldwell for Governor" signs.


Clinton started out as a Republican, and she remains one to this day.


Wohlforth is right.  Pension bonds are a highly risky strategy, more so than we would expect from our government.  Not many pension funds are making their target yields in recent years, and there is no indication this is going to change in the foreseeable future. Some countries actually have negative interest rates on their bonds, and in recent years stocks aren't much better.  30 year US obligations are at 2.3% and you can get a home loan at 3.5% so why is the State satisfied paying 4%. Oregon has tried this strategy with very mixed results.  Seems like a dumb idea to me.


So many people still acting like cannabis is the most deadly substance known to man. How about you worry about your small, s**thole town's crystal meth problem before you whine about marijuana? I'd rather live in neighborhood surrounded by 100 potheads than in a neighborhood with one crack/methhead. Sit down and shut up.


For many law abiding citizens our parks are a no go. Recently we had a group of friends gather at Alton Baker only to have to fend off homeless men and women - three literally went into our picnic spread to help themselves.  We would have gladly given extras to them, after we were finished feeding our group... but the aggressiveness scares most women who were organizing our group.  The City needs parks security from River Road to Alton Baker.  Instead of the "district" projects getting money can we please have police presence to enjoy the assets we paid for?

"But it’s not our job to tell our friends and allies what they should do or shouldn’t do. It’s our job to make sure we’re doing what we know that we should do, that we can do in terms of creating opportunities for Canadians, for Canadian companies, but also opportunities for Cuba to continue to develop, to modernize, to improve in the many areas that it’s building success in.”

Crazy video - For sure nothing much has changed with Trump - other than he’s now leader of the free world - Gulp.


Most government at all levels can't keep any money in reserve for long.  Our state government is a perfect example of spending themselves in to a hole that they need the money in reserve to fill in some of the hole.  Unfortunately, it the hole is only part way filled and the money is gone.  Then, they start digging the hole again.  There's no end to it.


You know, I wanted to read this column because I too believe that our important policy discussions are fueled far more by anger than by reason.

But then it got right back into the old "false equivalency" game. Yeah, a few people in a couple of places have gone too far. But to paint the entire anti-Trump protests with the broad brush of the worst actions of a few is like equating the Watts Riot with the Edmund Pettis Bridge, then clucking, "See? Both sides are wrong."

Also, if you think that even the worst of what has happened so far has been a "riot", then you don't know what a riot really is.

As far as taking to the streets and standing up for what you believe in? Sounds pretty doggone American to me.

Gore did concede the election.

ONLY you think that was Wallace's point. No ONE else.

You asked why Trump didn't employ your reasoning to deflect the question. Because, it's too stupid, even for Trump.


Liberal and libertarian society simply mandates acceptence of their choices and those of their doctors. That doctors can fix them and it works is a good thing. Making it a political issue at all is probably an attempt to play to the masses who like hating people. All of which has nothing to do with ordaining women as deacons, although hopefully we can create a lay deaconate that does not require lifetime celibacy if your spouse dies.

If someone has functional genitalia, whether it functions procreatively or not, is enough for the law to recognize the distinction. Think what you want for yourself, just leave it out of any legislative agenda, as privacy rights (to be left alone by such as you) control, which is not liberal, it is libertarian. Your comments would be cogent if you acknowledged the difference.


Yes, it is wait and see for now.  Alought this is how it should have been in the first place.  Trump did take extreme postions to get into office but as of late he has pulled back on his positions.  I'm sure this doesn't sit well with supporters.


It's the Sepoy Revolt all over again!


I am no fan of unions but increasingly the unrelenting focus on wringing every last cent out of a company in the name of "shareholder value" is sickening.

Companies used to value loyalty, image and the people they existed to serve but now do nothing with any foresight or creativity. The answer to any bad quarter is to "reduce headcount" or relocate to a right to work state or Mexico.

The gutting of the middle class is due to the unrelenting greed of the 1%'ers and it will one day haunt the upper crust like it did in 1917

Second is the nature of the terrorist attacks committed by Muslims in Western countries. They're not often perpetrated by Islamic State operatives. More often they're perpetrated by people who are just sympathetic to the IS message. Sometimes the terrorists are life-long citizens of the country they live in, but they sympathize with the injustice being done to Muslims elsewhere. The demise of Islamic State won't deter such attackers. It might even inspire more people to take up the cause.

Christianity is about learning to materialize our interior life, learning to be with God in every moment - through the material matter we're dealing with at each and every moment.

Learning how to put more prayer into every thought and action; thousands of glimpses and encounters with Jesus Christ during each day.

That's what Christianity is about it seems to me.

Christianity is a torrid love affair with Jesus Christ.

Our vocation should radiate outward and people should sense a closeness with God even though God may never be mentioned.

He is drawing all things to Him through our loving Yes.

Yes I will give.
Yes I will serve.
Yes I will obey Your will.
Yes I will follow the Commandments - I will make them mine.
Yes I will deny myself, cheerfully out of love of You, for the great good of my bride, that You gave me, for my children.

Saddest of all is how casual comments that polarise and divide are defended and accepted with attempts at pushback or being even handed are threatened with being shutdown. One of the things admirable about Nelson Mandela, now vilified in many quarters, is that he made every attempt (in my view) to unite SA and step away from the easy target of blaming and allocating characteristics based on race., even though he may have held very strong feelings on a more personal level  I don't think he's copied much, unfortunately and certainly not by the writer of this piece. But the race card is just too easy.

Secondarily for me is how, like Israel and Palestine, there is no middle ground. Either you support Morake (and Malema, Khumalo et al) and condemn Barnard or vice versa (condemning Chris Hart, Helen Zille et al). So the sad cycle continues. Who will rise above it?


They will be asking for more taxes exactly one day after the next election.


Mr. Bridges makes an important point, "We are all passengers on a big airplane now and Trump is the pilot. If he goes down, we all go down."  Indeed, Mr. Trump, come Jan. 20, will be our President/Pilot.  I find that just a bit frightening.  Every action, every Cabinet appointment, every "tweet", IMO, screams "hey, I'm the pilot, I'm in charge, I'm flying this thing and NO ONE is going to tell me how to do it."  Meanwhile, these actions, those selections and those tweets serve to steepen the dive toward that harsh, unforgiving landing most people call a "crash."

Mr. Bridges suggests we all sit back, have a few drinks (at least those in First Class) and admire the scenery.  Furthermore, he chides the RG for reporting any news which is uncomplimentary toward "our" pilot.  Mr. Bridges: The RG is the "messenger".  The paper "reports" the news,  Mr. Trump, soon to be President Trump, "creates" the news.  If you find that news distasteful, I can understand that.  I do too.  (cont.)

HOWEVER, you completely ignore the multitude of comments about WHY Bauman was allowed to continue on as City Administrator, in light of the multitude of SERIOUS mistakes he made, and even given hefty raises.  You and the rest of the Council were elected to represent the concerns of your district.  Even if you had a sterling rapport with Bauman weren't you obligated to both acknowledge their concerns and Investigate their complaints?

Yes indeed, the real estate sector has replaced manufacturing as the largest sector of our economy. Canada has become dependent on the real estate sector because Canada has difficulty competing with overseas manufacturing where regulations are far less onerous and labour laws are virtually non-existent. We do well at manufacturing houses and condos because they are tied to this land - a unique 'product' that no other country can 'manufacture'. Unfortunately, much of our wealth has been transferred overseas in return for cheap manufactured goods. That wealth is now being used by overseas investors to buy the most valuable and unique product that Canada has to offer - Canadian land. Welcome to the global economy where a couple hundred TV's are traded for an acre of land.


UAA is in the pocket of the NPS and the DNR...their studies will say what ever the people paying for it want it to say

There's a reason the framers left the generic terms 'arms' in place, instead of getting specific.

They knew they couldn't predict the future, but they wanted the populace to be as well 'armed' as the government. That was the only way they could see that a tyranny of the majority could be avoided.

What would really shock them is that people in 2016 were afraid to stand up and defend themselves, from enemies both without and within.

That they would cower until the police showed up would seem absurd to these men.


The Green Party position that it is perfectly ok to impose electoral reform changes with no referendum on those changes  (their pet preference Proportional Representation) is so utterly undemocratic and reprehensible.  One of their new MLA's actually states "we should try out our new system a few times and see if the voters like it" .  What kind of amateurs think this stuff up? At least It provides clear insight into the the kind of authoritarian mentality the Green Party has. This is a blatant, shameless power grab and they think the voters of BC are dumb enough to let it happen without a referendum. Makes you really understand how these people feel about compromise and collaboration. Their absurd position on electoral reform without a referendum is a warning shot across the bow to everyone.

No, we're watching the greatest act(s) of self-destruction in American history. Talking Points Memo reports:

"Donald Trump’s lawyers have repeatedly warned him not to contact his former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, who resigned in February after revelations that he lied about conversations with the Russian ambassador to the United States, and who remains under investigation by congressional committees, the FBI, and a federal grand jury. The attorneys reportedly expressed fears that any contact with Flynn could look like witness tampering or coordination.

"It appears the President did not heed their advice.

Yahoo News reported Thursday that Flynn announced at a dinner in late April: “I just got a message from the president to stay strong.” "

Sorry Justin - but it's important that Americans understand that the vast majority of Canadians think it's wrong - imagine if they thought Trudeau's decision - regardless of his justification - represented the position of Canadians as a whole? Now THAT would possibly have undermined our relationship with the US. For those that think we should all be quiet and maybe we can sneak it by the Americans - that's naive - no matter how sneakily the Liberals did it - it was going to be big news sooner or later. Although Trudeau wears a bit of egg on his face, Canada is better off with the Americans knowing Canadians don't like what happened.


Obviously, his peers and constituents are not doing enough to silence his obvious inability to keep his mouth shut. I'd be interested to know what he promised to the people that elected him.

The House of Representatives took the cowardly way out of killing HB 790.  Instead of taking a vote on whether or not to pass the bill, where individuals would have their votes recorded as for or against the bill, a vote recommit the bill was taken, which only requires a voice vote.  Recommitting the bill in effect kills it.  Now nobody knows who voted to kill the bill.  Apparently, the majority wanted to kill the bill, but they are cowards for being unwilling to let their constituents knows about it.

I'm fully in agreement, just be careful with real estate. Vehicles are guaranteed to go down after they're driven off the lot but even houses can suffer setbacks, though rarely over the long term.

By comparison with Canada, Mexico has no trouble in attracting foreign investment. Especially "foreign investment" from businesses in Canada who are looking to move their operations to a lower cost country.


Perhaps the main reason Americans have lost respect for democracy is that we don't have it. Political parties now represent a minority of Americans, and they get to choose the candidates. Which are sold to us by the rich people via corporate "news" media. I've read that six major corporations now control 90 percent of the mainstream news media. There are plenty of alternatives on the Internet -- Common Dreams is one of my favorites -- but I think most people still get their news, if they get any, from newspapers and TV. Which mix facts with a lot of interpretation and propaganda.

I find that even so-called educated people with degrees know very little about political or social issues. They seem to focus mainly on their work and family, and don't care much about issues as long as they're comfortable.

Then there is gerrymandering, etc. Politics has become unresponsive, people are frustrated, and pressure is building up. Danger ahead.


What a life!


Kuroiwaj, I am not sure if we will find out tomorrow.  I think Trump is going to release the entire JFK assassination file tomorrow, unredacted and  just before the indictments are released.  The entire world will be so focused on that for the next week or two, the indictments will practically go unnoticed.

Marc Soules, Guns don't kill people, people kill people.  There are more guns in the US, but fewer people own guns because, on average, each gun owner has more guns.  That's why gun homicide rates are lower.  The Second Amendment isn't going to be repealed, but it grants the right to own guns only to those who are members of "a well regulated Militia"  -- members of the Army, Navy, or Air Force.  For everyone else, gun ownership is a privilege that can be strictly regulated.  It's interesting that you mentioned Sandy Hook.  In the US there is an average of one mass shooting every week.  It has been 20 years since Australia enacted its strong gun control law, and since then there has been no mass shooting in that country.

Do you understand the concept of civilian control of the police, or would you prefer it the other way 'round?


Let's add Burke, Chaput, Pell, Cordileone, Nienstedt, .... to this list.


That's mean-spirited. Alice has nothing to do with this.


The Gin explains it.


Or maybe if he is a Muslim he is just following the Koran: Do not take Infidels as friends.


"It's possible for farmers to pay decent wages and treat their employees well, while still making a profit....and many of them do. "

Give us one example.


America needs to know there is also a price for friendship.   It seems to be one way, we want to be their friends more than they want to be ours.  They have very few friends left.  Time for us to stop responding to their requests for support when they need us politically.

And buy Canadian first.


Not only Catholic Priests, other Christian denominations have their own pedophiles...what happened to those who are "supposed" to follow and teach about the goodness of Jesus Christ? Now Islam in the other hand....is another story.


Are people currently being presented with barriers to participating in sport based on their skin colour?


Its an editorial....not reporting of news.  You may disagree, but it is not "fake news".


Disenfranchised?    Scandal?   Here is where the majority of the House of Representatives are located:

California:  53 Representatives in Congress
New York   27 Representatives in Congress
Illinois         18 Representatives in Congress
Florida         27 Representatives in Congress
Pennsylvania 18 Representatives in Congress
Texas            36 Representatives in Congress

Total:  179 ---  which works out to be 41% of the 435 Representatives in the Congress are provided from these six (6) States.

 Hardly 'Disenfranchised'!

Oregon 5 Representatives in Congress -- Who cares about Oregon?  No one!

If Hillary could have won in Florida, Pennsylvania and Texas, she would be President-elect.

30 years of political experience and beaten by an amateur!

She didn't; she isn't.


Let me not agree with your comment. They are not two groups. Islam terror grows in the soil of Islam, not other soil. And Muslims are followers of Islam. Do you mind to count the  radical Islamic organizations and groups in the world - dozens (Hezbolla, Muslim Brotherhood, Boko Haram, Al Qaida, ISIS, HAMAS, As-Shaab, Al-Nusra, Takiban, and so on). Their support in Muslim world is huge, otherwise they would not survive.


The difference between Mullens and Mokrohisky is that Mullens works for Uncle Phil while Mokrohisky works for us. Big difference there.


Send a few Democrats and liberals  to NK as business emissaries. Kim will send their bodies back in bags.


Superficial, narcissistic and born to privilege. There are more similarities between Trudeau and Trump than the liberal media is willing to admit.


Barking at the wrong trees?  Which trees are the correct ones to bark at?  Dogwoods?  Pussywillows?

Just what guns has Obama taken from you? You don't remember this happening to GW too? A very selective memory you have there.


If your parents talked with you about their field of expertise, then, as the child of linguists, it would seem that you would appreciate the fact that language does not stop developing, as long as there are people who speak the given language.
For the past 40 years, it the US, there has been much conversation about inclusive language, and inclusive language is now considered the norm by many in the US.   (And, by the way, the term refers to an actual phenomenon, so there is no need to put it in quotes.)   To say that "Jesus died for all men" is simply inaccurate; our belief is that Jesus died for all people.
I fail to understand the opposition among some to the evolution of American English.  In the US, it is becoming (and in certain cases has become) generally accepted that "man" refers to male humans, and that "people", or "humanity", or "human beings", or "men and women" are terms that refer to both male and female human beings.


The expression "Be careful what you wish for" comes to mind here. If the U.S had helped Main St. there might not be much of Wall St left and we know how that usually works out.


Wow, I didn't realize the stats on paying back HBP. My husband & I have used the HBP and lifelong learning plan (LLP) and both worked for us. We purposely maxed out RSP's a few years in advance of using both programs, using our line of credit to do so; and the paid off the line of credit in full when we received our tax refund (we did last minute contributions at the deadline and then filed our taxes  early so that we wouldn't have to pay interest). A few years later we pulled out the RSP's via the HBP (we took a risk and invested them in stock and a dividend ETF, and both did well) for our down payment. I did the same for  the LLP So I could get a master's degree. The result was that our house greatly appreciated in price, I received a few promotions due to the degree that tripled my salary, and we gladly pay more than the minimums each year to pay back the LLP/HBP. I have a DB pension (no, I'm not a govt worker) so I don't have much RSP room anyway. Obviously this may not work...


One of my Loony Right Wing Trump and Harper fan relatives tried to tell me that pipeline in Canada have a perfect safety record. I gave him the link showing the red dots where pipelines had spilled 1000s of times in Alberta. They do a really good job of keeping them out of the news. If Alberta wants to peddle the end products of mining tar they should do the upgrading in Alberta.


Again....no facts,  just lefties being lefties.   Only you can spin this gong show of unethical madness.

Excellent piece. Here's hoping your research and dissertation may help to repair the toxic culture.


Everyday a new terrorist come up and ask $some milyon from the government and they expect respect for their prehistoric, violent and barbaric believes. I believe in science and if Canadians don’t want wake up one day in the darkness of the religious, autocratic dictatorship, they should stick to the science and logical reasonable philosophy for everbody’s  benefit but not only whatever religious group has the biggest majority. journalist in Canada should look at what is happening the journalist in the religious dictatorship countries and then they should stop supporting religious extremists nested in Canada.

Once again an 'off' article from the Indian!


Why doesn't the UN provide some food from the billions recently handed over to the them by Junior on behalf of the taxpayers of Canada ?  Or will it never make it to people and just get re-appropriated on the way down the bureaucratic chain ?  Like any charity, what percentage actually makes it to the people in need ?


not a cent of my taxpayer money for this


Actually, there IS a few in Ottawa that I fear immensely.


What has Russia done that you think is so bad???


Front and centre (in the headline) should be the fact that she was killed by an illegal. His actions do not represent America's values as he shouldn't have been there in the first place. Of course that contradicts their masters "no boarders no nations" stance, while simultaneously lending credence to the notion that Trump may be right on some things. Yet again, a tragedy like  this is being leveraged by the opportunistic media to sell their narrative.


I'd be curious to know how the stay vs. go stats compare to other places.  My three siblings and I all left our native Missouri after school. We had great childhoods there, but various adventures pulled the boys west to Colorado and Oregon, then California and Alaska. Only I married someone from my destination state (she came back after college Outside); my brother's spouses began their wandering in Oklahoma and Idaho. My sister went east to New York, then really east to the Middle East. Her spouse was born and raised in Russia. We're all where we want to spend the rest of our lives, but only one will end where she started.

Through Facebook I know that some of my school friends stayed near home, while others similarly dispersed. For us, economic opportunity took a back seat to adventure and new experiences.

I smile when my daughter says she always wants to live in Alaska, but I won't hold her to it. I chased my dream here, but she may take a different path.


Michael Bindner,
So are you correcting your stance on orthodoxy or just contradicting yourself?


I know many people who own guns (I do not own one) and they did not get one because they have psychological problems.   There are some who do this, but you cannot claim it as one of the main reasons for a man to own a gun with any legitimate statistics.


Spot on SpenAK; it's so very true that "one man's government waste is another's critical service". That is the very real world dilemma. However, across the board percentage cuts are not an intelligent approach. Such approaches show nothing but a lack of leadership and a total inability or unwillingness to evaluate spending on a program-specific basis and subsequently assign priorities for spending. Across the board cuts reflect cowardice and laziness, taking the easy route out. They do major damage to all programs, including the "good" ones, and give continuing life to programs that should be either eliminated or cut back. Individual citizens will always have different points of view. Is that not why we elect leaders to work through it all and make good decisions for the greater good?


1. Genius is rare in any country.  In the news, at the end of January, Trump did say that he wanted to "limit", not eliminate, the number of new immigrants so that only the "best and brightest" people were allowed into the country.  ------   2. Numbers???  This article claims that immigrants "make the U.S. economy 11 percent larger each year".  Since the U.S. economy is only growing at about 2 percent per year, what is it that is subtracting 9 percent from the 11 percent?  ------  3.  This article claims that immigrants have little impact on average wages "in aggregate".  "In aggregate" presumably means that the huge compensation paid to company executives brings up the average "aggregate" wages?


Anyone know the rules of the road in that sea with heavy ship traffic-- I sail small sailboats close to shore. Maybe someone with naval background can explain how the destroyer was hit by the commercial ship on its starboard side-- normally, the Destroyer with a ship to starboard would need to maintain speed just like the freighter should do and determine whether to pass well in front of or in back of the freighter. Possibilities include: 1 someone just did not see or note on radar the large ship to starboard heading at 15-18 knots on a possible collision course  toward course of the destroyer, 2 there was a miscalculation and the destroyer thought it would cross well in front of the ship (or the ship was going slowly and sped up). The miscalculation could happen if the destroyer was not at the speed the calculations were based on, or slowed down and/or maneuvered  (maybe to avoid another ship). The destroyer may have been on a shakedown cruise with its $21B. refit.


Most pilots from around the world are able, on a daily basis, to line up correctly with a runway center-line regardless of their mother tongue. Your comment betrays a fundamental lack of understanding regarding airmanship.


Sales and income tax unless spending is cut a lot.


Nobody yet but it is almost guaranteed that with a defacto 22% increase in hiring costs, not as many people will be hired.

So instead of  hiring 4 people over a period of time, companies will hire 3.


First Amendment free speech doing what it was intended to do. Reminiscent of the Federalist Papers. For the legislators and respondents offended, yes the spotlight of accountability is glaring!


I don't usually respond to emoticons but I noticed , Alceste, that you consistently disagree with every single one of my comments, including this one, which was just a review of numbers from Stats Canada.

For someone who tries to present an image of erudition,  it really is childish to disagree with numbers just because you don't like the poster.


Hello Bob!

You appear to have read my post from the perspective of somebody who had just consumed about twelve beers.

I did not imply that the article's authors were claiming victimhood. What I stated (clearly) was that YOUR POST grabbed on to the victimhood card.

Maybe in your frame of mind you are confusing yourself with the columnists?

Or maybe you slipped up, and you are one of the columnists, posting under a pseudonym?

And no, I did not dismiss the authors as irrelevant (roll eyes at another of YOUR grabbing on to victimhood status on behalf of the columnists). I pointed out, correctly, that the most popular posts are actually criticizing the CLAIM of the the authors, not the authors themselves or their religious identity.

If you ever need a reference letter in support of your teaching a college course called "How to Try to invoke Victimhood on Behalf of Others as a Smokescreen to Hide Actual Debate", let me know, I think you have it down pat.


Mum ? Transparent, no. Inept, confused and in the dark yes.
 Trudeau resign you are in over your head.


Following years of massive cuts, mass firings, direct interference, and political appointments by both Liberal Conservative-In-Name-Only governments, the CBC has been hobbled and its ability to function effectively - most notably in the area of news - has been undermined, and has resulted in a huge shift to the right, so in this regard, it has certainly lost its way (or perhaps it's more accurate to say deliberately led astray), but the opposite of what's proposed here is necessary to repair what's been so badly damaged.

Konrad, unsurprisingly, never acknowledges that actions of the bloated private media corporations in creating their own situation. Throughout the 90's and early 00's, hard-right ideologues like the Aspers and Thomsons bought out the bulk of the Canadian media in order to stifle diversity, frighten those left working into acquiescence, and push their own ideology in an effort to alter the tone of debate in this country.

But Canadians are not American, and reject this.


Robert Lewis Dear went on a one man crusade against a movement that has killed over 59,000,000 of the most defenseless and vulnerable among us.  The court ruled him insane, but he may have been the most sane man in the courtroom.

His punishment? Three hots and a cot for the rest of his days.  No doubt a better life than he had before.  Crazy like a fox.


Well, exactly! An unmanned, underwater drone could be a hazard to international shipping and fishing in the area. The Chinese were right to grab it, and now they're going to return it... unless Trump has his way.

It's all "above board,' and other than the hazard created by the drone, no harm has been done.


Bull🤑🤡😡t!


Smart move by a smart man!


Investigation of dome collapse will find any error of design or management.  After investigation, improvements can be made either in design or management policy to ensure safety for dome users.  An investigation will be required by insurance company.  I'm sure some recommendations will come from that.  Thanks for giving me another opportunity to speak about publics safety concerns for the Dome


Bravo! Great project and great build. As rents head upwards in Eugene, these tiny homes will become more common. Rents for modest one or two BR in Eugene range from $800-$1400 per month plus utilities.  More along the river.  That's an average of $12,000-$14,000 a year.  It takes about two years to break even with a $20-30,000 investment.  In Portland, the rents are more like $2000 plus a month.  In San Francisco and the Bay area, $3000 and up.  Tiny homes and converted vans are smart investments that allow young workers a way to save and own some form of housing.


"They can convert their RRSPs to registered retirement income funds (RRIFs) as soon as they retire in order to spread the tax bill over a longer period of time ...".
I don't understand this statement. What is the tax advantage of converting to a RRIF early? Why not just make the early withdrawals from the RRSP? The taxes are the same aren't they?


Hmmmm, I wonder what role - if any - Hawaiian Airlines is playing in this in order to secure its monopoly...


Unfortunate outcome.  Placating these demonstrators, or any demonstrators, only encourages more egregious action next time.  Most disappointing that Senator Gardner caved to the Left-wing press.


You are absolutely correct my reaction to the article was that it was insulting to Quebecers, who are so maligned in ROC.


He/she is just busting your chops - the sites work just fine.

One can only imagine why...


Globalization was a declaration of war on the middle-class through unrestricted foreign investment and massive immigration. In 2019, middle-class Canadians will be declaring war on globalist politicians.


Murthy knows who is paying his $400,000 annual contract loaded with many additional incentives and goodies - its banker and property lawyer Caldwell fronting as a city mayor who has been lying about rail's cost since 2010.
.
How interesting that Kym Pine wants to cut Honolulu City services to the BARE MINIMUM while happily not cutting a single PENNY from the HART budget, which is loaded with FATCAT contracts going on since the earliest days for groups Infra Consult LLC. Like paying community consultants $186-205,000 annually or $18,000 a month to attend neighborhood board meetings and report back any community questions. What a SCAM payoff deal!
.
OR- Millions paid for expensive artwork for non-existent rail stations. SCAM!
.
Just one of MANY SCAMS totally unquestioned by the City Council LAP DOGS as they destroy the entire purpose of City services-- to feed their precious RAIL GOD costing $500 Billion a mile or over $7000 an inch to build. Clearly all needs a Federal Investigation!


The StarAdvertiser made it clear Jill Tokuda offered nothing useful to help finance the construction of rail.

I am aware of Mr Pence's proclivities in this area.  I have repeatedly stated Pence would be as big if not a bigger disaster than Trump...which is why he is Trump's assassination/impeachment insurance.

I'm just saying, talking about guys on IR, other PS squads and people coming back for 775,000 is totally meh. The real deal is upon us, I would like some news about the starter, how it's going with Paradis back, whose his favorite TE option...you know, real season football stuff. I don't care about Sloter, I don't care about Kelly, I like the cheap price on Brock but don't really care about that, I care about the season and Trevor is the starter.

Long term solution is for next year's worries, I'm more worried about the O and D lines.


"Mr. Trudeau represents everything that Mr. Trump and his supporters detest. He is the toast of American liberal and media elites. With his on-the-sleeve feminism, his celebration of diversity and his aphorisms on inclusion, he is the personification of the “political correctness” that Mr. Trump excoriates. About the only thing that Mr. Trump is likely to grudgingly respect about our Prime Minister is his international celebrity status. Mr. Trump will already be regarding his opposite number with suspicion if not hostility."
***
Just to set the record straight, on the issue of international celebrity, Trudeau is the mouse and Trump is the elephant.  This should be a statement of the obvious for our Liberal friends.


Sorry, your assumption is incorrect.  If guns are not used, then knives, hammers, axes, cars, vans, trucks etc will be used.  Not having a gun has not stopped the Islamic Jihadis from killing has it?  And in fact, I would say that they especially enjoy killing with knives and swords.
Before guns, swords, spears, axes,  knives, bow and arrows were very effective means of killing and just as deadly as guns.


We need to go back to the old lever machines.


ya lets ignore the MILLIONS of voters who enabled a sucessful business leader who is already changing the usa to a booming jobs economy!


Must be nice to be guaranteed a spot at the trough.


A mayor's job is challenging in itself considering that he oversees large projects such as the rail system. I would want to have a mayor that will be able to put forth a full time effort on our behalf rather than one that is holding a job with a private company. I do agree that his side job can pose a conflict of interest due to his oversight of developments and the fact that his position influences financial matters including property taxes which a bank has vested interest in. I do not agree that just because the city has no accounts with Territorial that that would mean there is no conflict of interest. It disturbs me that a committee would not see such a scenario. The attorney general should be involved in this matter as that fact should be revisited. And the fact that the bill was struck down so fast makes me wonder if our own elected officials are worthy of our trust to protect us from such an obvious conflict of interest that is not in the best interest of the public.


we won't even ever become united amongst ourselves dems vs reps again. And thats the way politicians on both sides want to keep it to demonize an enemy all to get reelected.   And it works


Meanwhile Canadian VW owners still do not have a settlement thanks mainly to our glacially slow courts system.  Expeditious justice is an unknown in Canada.


It is ironic that "the land of the free and home of the brave" is filled with so many fearful and resentful people. They remind me of those folks that kill their loved ones in a murder suicide because they loved them so much they couldn't live without them. Of course, the excuse for having the gun(s) was to protect their family. We now have a death lottery and we are all in the game. Any one of us can be chosen as a blood sacrifice, any time any where. Is this death cult what freedom is suppose to look like? I'm sure Putin is very happy about all of this. He doesn't even have to pay for the bullets.


Oh, and by the way, Jack, where was the outrage from the right when democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren was barred from speaking in the Senate confirmation hearings on Jeff Sessions -- even though she won the mandate to speak for her constituents in an election?  How is it the right could not tolerate her even just quoting Coretta King from the Senate records? !

Personally I find it a lot scarier that a Senator can be denied her right to speak in the Senate compared to Ann Coulter being asked to reschedule a talk at a university.


that's only true if the savings from growing larger outweigh the total increase in deficit when cost per capita is greater than the revenue per capita....if merely increasing the population was  a panacea for a nation's finances, then countries with large populations would be doing better than us....look around the world and you will notice that isn't true ... and this ignores the cost of environmental degradation caused by increasing our population...I am concerned that our "leaders" are leading us to disaster to help achieve short term profits for their friends in the real estate development industry...cheered on by the banks who expect to be bailed out when everything crashes....think about it...why can't the population shrink....why is this such a disaster????


My personal assessment, since his election, is that Trump will have a nervous breakdown by the end f his third month in office.  The breakdown will manifest as his losing the ability to lose use of one hand, then one leg, etc. etc.  The man is too personally dishonest to face that he got himself into a situation very foolishly.  He will choose to blame his own body.  Doing so may also spare his administration by leaving Pence and Trump's appointees in place, before enough proof is found of Russian collaboration with the Trump campaign to invalidate the election on the basis of fraud and treason.  I suspect Ivanka moved into the White House because he is already showing signs of coming apart.  She probably helps him hold it together.  He seems to be in the early stages of dementia.


An important part of any PM's job is to foster positive international relations. That is exactly what was accomplished at the show. Well done PM and the Canadian Consulate for organizing all those tickets.


Everyone involved in putting the ACA together knew full well it would collapse under its own weight unless the young healthy folks bought in. Then  in one fell swoop the brainiacs removed the very reason we buy INSURANCE, which is by definition protection against risk, by including the provision that you cannot be denied coverage even with a preexisting condition. So what does anyone with any sense do? They wait until they get sick to buy insurance!! And the young rarely get sick.. Can we agree any plan in which the customer prefers an IRS penalty rather then buying in is fundamentally flawed? But of course we can have no rational discussion here because to do so would expose Obamas "signature accomplishment " during his time in office. What Charles also carefully avoids is the reality that unions in government have produced this HAVES vs the HAVE NOTS scenario and the gap will only continue to widen as the private sector feels the pinch in the coming years.


According to our prime minister, Canada is back on the international stage (because, of course, he was elected as prime minister). Now that North Korea has, or shortly will have, the capability to target the west coast of the U.S. with nuclear weapons, which means Canada's west coast is also at risk for a nuclear strike since it would be on the flight path, what is prime minister Trudeau doing to resolve the situation?


I despise our liar-in-chief, but I agree with him on "some" issues. This poll is nonsense, because that does not make me, or anyone else, a supporter of Trump. Unless you can't think for yourself, you're going to find agreement with politicians on some issues, even if you are very opposed to most of their ideas.


Your not sure as to what he's saying because you have a defect in your ability to comprehend basic skills. You fail to see the analogy and take offense to your socialist thinking. Therefore you dive into to weeds and make stuff up!!


But we're probably not allowed to use the word 'sex' anymore, lest someone get offended.


This is Alaska. Say that to the wrong gay dude and turned inside-out. I knew a couple of roughnecks from Prudhoe some years ago either of whom could've hoisted-up by the throat with one hand the guy in the picture. Last I heard, they got married in California.


Whatever you're all missing the point. TSA would not be needed if you use K-9 units but muslims claim it's wrong for you to use a dog to search them, claiming by religious right you cannot touch or approach them with an unclean/filthy animal. If you replace all TSA stations with one german sheppard you save hundreds of millions of dollars... So whom is dumb now?


I'm not with Blue Cross Blue Shield, but with CC we are seeing (yes, this has already been documented) a northward creep of ranges of diseases and parasites that historically only caused problems in the south.  Malaria, Lyme disease, etc.  It can be reasonably be expected that insurers in the northern states will see increased costs of treatment as a result.  Maybe they do have a stake in this issue.


Yesterday the Rich family thanked people on the internet  investigating their son's death.  Seems the DNC handlers are losing control over the family, especially since statement from the attending physician LEOs prevented him from treating Seth causing his death.


GUILTY!


This is cookie cutter left diatribe.  What we need is neither 'left' nor 'right' (social constructs that have become the most dogmatic form of religion in secular society), rather apolitical journalism focused on objective truth.  What we get from you is a highly partisan, extremely typical characterization of the (alt-)right as hate mongers.  The worst places for free speech are, incredibly, universities, which are utterly dominated by leftist/Marxist dogma.  You mention fascism - what about the much more pervasive (neo-)Marxism?

So, no, I wouldn't give your political organization a 'red' cent.


Celibacy has many virtues and there is nothing wrong with demanding sacrifice to hold certain positions in a religion.  So this is not a justice or health issue.  Clericalism is not strengthened by celibacy since anyone can choose to be celibate.  However, only allowing male priests furthers sexism which is a form of real hatred whose example in religion results in the world as violence, rape, slavery, child abuse, genital mutilation, terrorism, forced illiteracy, and poverty.  This bias against women also furthers clericalism as 1/2 the church is made to feel voiceless and subjugated to other ordainable 1/2 of the church.

It is the Ukrainian Catholic Church's refusal to ordain women called in Christ to priesthood while allowing all men this opportunity that amounts to gender sacramental slavery of all women & this is immensely harmful to the church, women, men, children, the world as it portrays Christianity falsely standing for hatred and partiality of God towards men over women.


Tell that to the people following the legal process and explain why these people are allowed to do what they are doing....


When I took my iPhone 5 in to Apple Square One last week the agent pointed out that my battery was swelling and offered to replace the entire (out of warranty) phone for $99.00. An unexpectedly good offer I turned it down only because I expect to be upgrading to an iPhone 7 (or 8?) in the next few months. She did address and fix the initial issue for which I had made a Genius Bar appointment.


Aw, so which is your favourite "story"? Do you watch with your mom? That's sweet. I haven't seen General Hospital since Dr. Luke was a thing. WAS his name Luke? I dunno. Good for you though, dude.


The media has done a good good job of describing conservatives as "alt-right" and defining those voters as deplorable. Clearly you have gobbled up that message.

In reality,  the Alberta PC move to far left and the conservatives  (deplorable taxpayers)  moved over to the WR.  The only acceptable unification is the to drop the "P" and unite the conservatives under one platform.

It will happen, the NDP will disappear and Alberta taxpayers really don't care what you think of them.


In the words of George Orwell "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others".


I know the price of peace is priceless, and the reality that evil cannot be justified and allow to flourish in any circumstance.  The crimes of the government of NK is well documented and factual evidence based.  The dear leader brushed away the invitation by the American President.  NK does this as it thinks it is protected by China as it was in the Korean War, which concluded unresolved by armistice.  Time to conclude it.  Threatening nuclear destruction, and nearing the means to do it, is a serious international crime.  Think of where there missiles could land on the west coast of Canada.  It is NK technology after all.  It is time to put out an internal arrest warrant as well as a bounty.  This is a man who had his older non threat brother murdered this past Christmas for no reason other than  performing the coup de grace in a blood feud.  There is no dealing with this maniac.


Unless traffic is in the way, I can usually go for four miles on Main Street in Springfield and get green lights for the entire distance.  Many main traffic routes have that capability, in my experience.  Traffic people of some type make the lights do that.


What really gets me is that our public broadcaster, the CBC, has not covered this story at all.  They overdid the Trudeau helicopter ride but nothing on hypocrit Ambrose.  Pathetic.


Sheer should really be thinking of his future legacy. He should be very careful about backing  a lot of misinformation about Omar Khadr.  For anyone who is interested in the truth look up Omar Khadr on Wikipedia. Also look up Audrey Macklin who was involved as a lawyer in the Supreme court cases of Omer Khadr.


As you may have noted recently, the R-G just provides the big numbers.  Those little numbers don't always add up to the big numbers in their reportage.  They are either reluctant or unable to provide the information.


so, still not into any gun control or assault weapon controls guys? Even when people with personal security details can't be safe?


(O? I can't guess the obvious, jj. My house is being "wiretapped")


You know what else is strange? This story has been visible on the G&M's website for 7 hours now. Back when the Syrians and Russians were killing civilians in their attack on Aleppo, there would've been 50 comments condemning them by now. However, today it's the USA killing civilians, and there's dead silence from those who pretended they were concerned about civilian losses in war.

It's not just western governments that are hypocritical when it comes to human rights.


Regarding Canada (Ontario) what about having a criminal investigation on Dalton, Wynne and the OPP that protect this corrupt regime.
Nope, lets complain about American leaders. More fake news from the elite!


Romani Gypsy? They're well known across history for these identical types of frauds.


"What is wrong with the Republicans that they don't quietly replace him."

There's no quiet way to do it. Impeachment is very noisy and painful. It's a kind of legal, bloodless regicide.


Wrong.  Lots of people are paying it.  If you are complaining that this fictional lawyer is deducting business expenses such as office and employees from that $350k income, then your point is completely invalid.  Such a high rate of tax has many people looking for alternatives, but most of what you can do is defer, not avoid.  You can't defer forever, they will get it in the end.

In your opinion, is it right or wrong for government take more in income taxes than the person who legitimately earned it gets to keep?


Ontario and Quebec are ruled by Union proxy Socialist governments. Any coincidence that they lag behind the rest of the country ? But the walls come tumbling down in BC and Alberta as the NDP destroy success and alienate the drivers of our economy.


We get one lousy vote every four years, the rest of the time we pay tax's so that
those in elected positions can spend these resources without qualms. If you have
to - give him our cash , but no apology. He was part of a Terrorist Group , a
decision he made that came with consequences. His lawyer will also be a
millionaire! As Canadians we have to live in a Perfect World and bite our
tongues.


So, if the chancery would "list at a sky-high price in the NYC real estate market" it's not really true that "it's a misconception that the archdiocese is rolling in dough."

The Catholic Church does not need money. The Catholic Church owns so much expensive real estate, they could keep going for a century with zero donations. Doctors Without Borders, the food bank, the Humane Society and the science museum don't have enormous pieces of valuable real estate. That's why I give my money to them.

(Not to mention the fact that the Humane Society never spent a cool billion defeating the ERA.)


ANOTHER fake news story spiked.  Will the lying media slime ever learn?


They improvised. Dick Cheney personally authorized the name "curveball" to his inside cadre of inside information of which he had none. He and bush and the rest of em hung Colin Powell out to dry In the wind of lies and deception based on fictitious intelligence about yellow cake.


I'm going to reiterate some of what Jkeb has said. First, a lot of jobs don't come with insurance. And when Obama and others were debating what the ACA might look like, one of their central concerns was the uniquely American tradition of relying on employers to provide insurance. One concern: that it makes American companies less competitive. And if you want to cite personal experience, I have known people who were not able to take new jobs because of pre-existing conditions (because the insurance provider would not cover them). There are good reasons why the pre-existing condition proviso is one of the most popular aspects of the ACA. Finally, with changes the ACA is sustainable. It works very well in some parts of the country. And who else would  carry the cost for anyone ill, with a pre-existing condition or not? Other people with insurance. Because that's what insurance is for - the spread risk around and minimize the cost for all. What would you do? Let them die?


Agreed. They should be going after Bill Davis.


Yes, it would have, Blake, but that’s not how it works.  Note how the council just passed Reso 16-248 unanimously and the day after we’re told of a billion dollar increase.


Look at all the people who want their free stuff.


Only saw a portion of this game but what I saw was not pretty.  Agree with Goatie - focus on the next game.

One stat I saw was -3 for Matthews, Kadri, and someone else.  That was quite telling.  Team defence needs to be a priority with Rielly on the DL.


Eh, Chin, brah.  Since when?  When you was private practice, you neva expect for your salaried associates to spend choke after hours on critical time sensitive cases...because the salaried no more overtime?  You neva went go pay salaries to your associates so you could score by billing clients hourly?  So, now you stay govt, you feed us this chop suey (Chinese for shibai) that the "extra load" was "off the clock"?  How can salaried employees be off the clock when the State get choke critical time sensitive problems all over the place?  If one public servant not going dedicate his life to us here but instead for a public interest elsewhere, then we should hire somebody else.  Let those kind guys go find work in the private sector from where you went come.


Police are like children and need to be constantly monitored.


To repeat those making $250,000 who are incorporated don't just pay more taxes than someone making $50,000, they pay more than $50,000 IN TAX.


We have a government in Ottawa that made a myriad of promises, over 200,  but has failed to deliver. Will the NDP here in BC be any different? I highly doubt it. Just wait until business starts leaving the province. Already, much investment has been put on hold.

There is a reality and that is someone actually goes to work and pays for all of this.


Case closed.


I'd like to know at which bar he spent the money?


Your comment here is a poorly written and misspelled mishmash of complaints and bellyaching. There really isn't much to respond to as it is pure fiction grounded in fantasy.
Clearly though, even you see that the GOP is not in favor of higher education or even basic public education.
Again, my suggestion is that you get some meaningful work and move on with your life. Maybe get a HS diploma or GED since you clearly need help with basic spelling.
Have a nice day.


This is what I was thinking. What business do the Koch's have here in Colorado trying to change the way or education is run? They don't even live here or have kids going to school here do they? It's all just so they can extend their wealth.


How about this bill, allows drug dealers to go onto school grounds sell up to 2.5 grams of Meth or Heroin. What does that mean for the non drug user. A user amount is one tenth of a gram. So Mr. Drug dealer shows up to school and can sell Meth and Heroin to 24 kids and he will not go to jail because it is a class A Misdemeanor and the Governor has order the police not to arrest all non violent Misdemeanor crimes. So Mr. Drug Dealer gets a piece of paper with a date on it called a summons and Mr. Police go on there way. Mr. Drug Dealer goes and refills and sells to more kids. As long as he/she does not get caught with 2.5 grams or 25 user baggy amount of Meth or Heroin he can sell all day and never go to jail. Man what a great bill.


Great article, Americans are an amusing lot.  Have to laugh at the driving comment, as if Trump hasn't driven his own car in 40 years.  Trump is a Supply-Sider so he just thinks the good times will eventually trickle down to those rust belters.


That's -President- Donald to you.


Bernie has a tiny bit of the Donald in him - .   an angry, old white guy.  I don't think either one of them belong in the president's shoes.  this is a too touchy world and both these guys are a bit abrasive.
 maybe no Hillary - that's fine - I keep waiting for a candidate, either or any party, that stands out in a good way.  I most likely will do a write in unless it's a tight race and I have to vote against trump.  sanders is the lesser of two evils.  I mean, who gets a pope to diss them publicly?  how bad does one have to be? - really.?


Yeah Fleury has just played so poorly and it's his fault they lost.  *rolls eyes*


And Rachel Antoinette said let them take a bus, or walk! Those pipelines, which the dippers were against, all of them, would have happened without the colossal mistake of the last election.


M-103: "develop a whole-of-government approach to reducing or eliminating systemic racism and religious discrimination including Islamophobia, in Canada, while ensuring a community-centered focus with a holistic response through evidence-based policy-making"

quelling dissent, eh?  read the text above... see how it says "eliminating systemic racism and religious discrimination INCLUDING Islamophobia"?  The word "quelling" isn't in there.  I checked.  See for yourself.


As a self employed individual.  It must be nice to be able to get paid and picket.  Not show up for work.   Demand more of everything.  Be happy with what you have and think about those who have less benefits.  Or none at all


Clinton is right ...............


Bingo.

Some of us actually like being Catholic, and if we wanted to Protestanize ourselves would actually go and join a Protestant ecclesial community and leave people that wanted to be Catholic in peace.


Yeah I think I heard something about that but while we all mught want to hear of the demise of his career he is still very much alive there is something particularly sick about ogling the genitalia of the dead


Cite your proof, Mr. Snowman.  You're sounding just like former school teacher, David Ness who has an axe to grind with ASD.


Wow! - a  sanctimonious leftist hook to the jaw. Sucker punch! The politics of envy strikes again! Was that good for you?
Every pension fund in North America is invested in global companies, Apple included. If you can honestly tell me you would return any part of your pension invested in these filthy capitalist companies, then do so. Otherwise spare me the hypocritical claptrap.
The issue is, what do we want in society going forward? Globalism is fading. Even the "Economist" recognizes this in recent articles. Domestic industry is doing far better than Global  as wages and benefits rise in developing countries. What is needed in "new" domestic industries is a balance between rising wages and benefits for employees and reasonable profits for companies. That will benefit everyone only if workers have stable jobs and benefits and can actually afford the products their company produces.
If you disagree please explain why, rather than take cheap shots.


"anti-urbanism"...aren't you a dandy.


Lock your doors? This is domestic violence at its worst. Locked doors don't stop enraged abusers - they're usually in the same house.
My heart goes out to Jessica's friends and family.


Remember the last year of the W Bush administration? The economy was collapsing at a rate of NEGATIVE 10%.

Trump will be even WORSE. His fifth bankruptcy will be the USA.


John - does living in your simple world provide you comfort?  you need to stop inhaling propaganda and you need to stop misleading Alaskans. Get smart on the tax policy before making false statements.


or you could whip out your ported long slide 1911 and go to work.


Great article, and congratulations to the Clallam County Jail for making such a huge progressive step in order to help our community.


The only significant error made in the otherwise spot on reporting here was in relation to our 2014 Tsunami Books appearance, which was heralded by a five-photo RG Sunday features spread.

Marc Waszkiewicz chose not to drive to Eugene (from the Seattle area) for the event due to complications from a recent surgical procedure. His doctor informed him he could have a heart attack if he were under any more stress. So he stayed home.  Marc prides himself on NEVER missing a "gig." He is totally reliable. He wanted me to cancel since he could not make the trip. I chose (somewhat against his wishes) to go ahead with the Tsunami event because far too many organizations were involved and too much very visible promotion had been generated.  We ended up having roughly 100 guests that night. I played what roles Marc would've filled, and (aside from me being an emotional wreck by the end of the event), it went great!

Our eventual benefactor ($28,000 in VITAL donations)  discovered us that night.


Go for it Mr. O'Leary. With the two most compassionate conservatives (LeBreton and Harris) in your corner, I don't see what you have to lose.


I assume you've never made disparaging remarks about anyone online then?


If you don't answer the question, then I'm leaving. The question does not include my original "qualifier" referencing only modern warming. Is CO₂ a "greenhouse" gas that forces warming?


I did not read this articial!!!!!!!!
May the best man winn!!!!!!!


The ignorance and laziness of these authors is astounding.
Nobody has to buy manufactured goods from China - it can all be had elsewhere.  Despite their strength as an exporter, they are vulnerable to any shift in purchasing towards alternate suppliers.  Conversely, we have foods and raw materials the world needs ever more badly, and we don't need a trade deal to sell such things.  We have apparently issued a million-odd visas to this country - why?  They should be cancelled ASAP.  That amounts to a huge change in  immigration policy without legislation.  Holders of such visas should not be allowed to buy property here -  citizens and PRs only.  If we can sell a few things to China - fine.  But not military technology, for heaven's sake!  Finally, China will try to affect the next election to keep their puppet in power - we have to prevent that interference.


At least some German prelates are proceeding in Christ's light, as Francis has advised.  The pastoral approach of Francis has two advantages.

First, it is a practical work-around to the Pharisaical preoccupation with legal formulations that has gripped the institutional Church in matters related to marriage and the family.

Second, a pastoral focus gives breathing room for people to center themselves on the Spirit of Christ in their hearts.  This centering moves toward the reign of God that Jesus preached.

Muller and the four cardinals don't appreciate how much distance there is from the Church when a person struggling to discern their conscience cannot be confident that a pastor will encourage that discernment.  Francis is encouraging that discernment.

And, in the end, that discernment restores the primacy of the great commandments to love God and neighbor.  Lack of "exceptions" to a subordinate principle -- such as indissolubility -- risks denying the primacy of love.


Faced with closure of our state parks due to the state's budget crisis, non-profit Levitation 49 competed in a public process and was awarded the permit to operate Worthington Glacier, Blueberry Lake State Recreation sites, Shoup Bay Trail & three public use cabins at Shoup Bay State Marine Park. Our agreement with State Parks is to reinvest camping fees from Blueberry & Shoup to pay for the maintenance of all four state parks. The state requires L49 to operate and maintain these assets from May 15 - Sept. 15, though we will try to keep a roadside bathroom at Worthington open this winter to try to keep the Pass a little cleaner. This summer, local volunteers rallied with us to donate 6000+ hours/2.6 years worth of time to trail rehab, vegetation control, waste & trash management of these Parks. The permit does not require L49 to be janitors for any commercial events on the pass. We expect all users to do their part to be good stewards of the public lands and respectful of one another.


Bikers should not be sharing the same trails as hikers. The needs of the two are inherently incompatible.


Regardless of the math, this entire sorry saga raises fundamental questions about the competence of team Trudeau. There was no rallying cry from the masses to go after professionals and small businesses. The amounts being cited as incremental tax revenues seem insignificant compared to the vast oceans of waste in the broader public services. The targeted villains are not the wall street types but predominantly doctors and entrepreneurs. Somebody had way too much time on their hands and scratched the bottom of the barrel to come up with this half baked tax scheme. It simply pisses off those who have taken risk and made sacrifices without making any particular voting block deleriously happy that the Government is socking it to public enemies.   A family member who has raised  risk capital for a bio pharma start up from "rich" investors is now anxious that further investments will dry up and can not proceed to FDA trials. Such unintended consequences can not be hypothetically quantified.


As soon as they become citizens they have every right to voice their opinions.  The Constitution doesn't make distinctions based on how long you've been a citizen.  You're free to ignore or disagree with them, but you're not free to challenge their right to exercise their 1st Amendment rights.


We patiently await the same fate for Rex ("Friend of Russia") Tillerson.

The T-rump 'administration' seems so easily "misled".

The owner's comments don't make a whole lot of sense. If the only problem the dog had was barking, and that was enabled because the collar that shocks him when he barks' battery died, it also presumably would not prohibit him from exiting said electric fence. The dog, according to the article, was used as a bear-dog, which are trained to aggressively confront animals substantially larger than themselves in the hopes that they run off.

So, we have a dog, that by the owners own statements was barking yet again in this situation, which would lead a reasonable person to suspect that the batteries were once again dead in his collar, and was, a such, unrestrained again. We also the pesky fact that the dog was over the property line, which indicates the dog obviously also approached the man, refuting a construct where the dog was just sitting in the middle of the yard minding his own business. The guy had no reason to believe the dog was harmless, and in all likelihood was in fear.


IRT - Jay Pineda - OK lets change the wording of our second amendment to read something like; All citizens must own a firearm. Look at all the business your idea could start now! Great idea Jay...


I never said it was the only piece of evidence.

My point was that this news story left out the rest of the questioning where Comey stated that Trump never directed him to end the investigation- which was the direct opposite of what that part of the story had claimed.

What other possible motive did the AP have in purposely leaving that direct testimony out, other than harming Trump?


Ms. Wente's expertise regarding  at risk animal species is so intense.  We have absolutely nothing to worry about.   I won't even listen to population biology experts when there is Maggie to ask!


a_r:  Got it, you are an oil company "hater" and facts will not change your opinion.


Yeah!  I'm with you!

I don't want to pay ANY taxes.  Or auto registration fees or fishing license fees.  And I want a cop on every corner to lock up all of those criminals in the 7 new prisons that we should build.  Oh, and I want the size of my PFD tripled next year.


s, sorry but it was Congress that raided Social Security AND the Post Office.


Matthews is good, but he is only one player on a hockey team.


The first mistake is to think Justin Trudeau thinks about anything other than selfies and his over sized ego.

It's common sense to separate legitimate medical uses for any drug and recreational use on the street. Doctors prescribe morphine, fentanyl and a host of opioids to manage patient pain. Completely separate issue to someone shooting up to get high.

Add common sense to the list of Trudeau's or really any government's deficiencies. The fentanyl "crisis" is in the news and politicians react to make it seem like they have control. Well thought out, evidence based policy is virtually never the result.


Okay, Duh Skier, what lie did your fellow conservative Jonah Goldberg tell? Do tell.


self-respect is important


I don't think he can read. He can barely speak. For him to be able to do both is a contradiction!


From what did you infer that? My point was words have meanings and the claim there is a Constitutional or "law and order" issue with Trump "spouting off" is false. Thus to freak out and go ALL CAPS on Sen . Sullivan for not -also- ignorantly freaking out is an emotional, irrational response that would it would be helpful to control.


Start with any rep that gives the tax credits to the oil companys (who by the way never pay their taxes with these tax "credits").  I am so over hearing it's Democrats or Republican; we are all humans, if you want to screw over your fellow human by cutting their throats, then you should lose your job. This is a corruption issue not a party issue. The 2 party system should have been done away with years ago. Most people don't fall into 2 lumped categories. If my boss said "I need this paper on my desk Friday at 5." And I went to him Friday at 3 and said " So, nope sorry I didn't do my job and you have you pay me overtime to work next week." I would be fired. No good business model can be based like this. Government is just that; a bloated, corrupt, group of selfish humans that don't care about us in the state that work hard ever single day. They are supposed to be representing us, yet nobody that I have met agrees with their tactics. Term limits.


Organizations often require written permission to be obtained where there is no legal mandate to do so. They do this as a kind of butt-covering: getting sued, even if you're 100% on safe legal ground and ultimately prevail, is extremely expensive.


Someone steer this kid to Mr. Money Mustache's Website. With that kind of income, and those kinds of expenses, all he has to do is trade that Jeep Wrangler (Very Good Resale Values on these things)  in and buy a cheaper car with cash, killing the loan and investing the difference.  He can be well on his way to early retirement. I only wish I had gotten this advice and his kind of education when I was younger. Toronto will be missing out on this kind of talent. 75K CDN, while more than enough to live a comfortable life day to day, is not enough money to get ahead while paying for housing in Toronto (rent or buy, at this point).  It sounds like he is all about getting ahead. Good for him for realising that it ain't gonna happen in Toronto.


This is Colorado...


Does Downing have any data to back any of his claims?  The rock walls at Kewalos, Rockpiles, and Bowls don't seem to affect the surf at all.  Saying that the breakwater would be a haven for eels is also a far stretch.  After years of diving by breakwaters, I haven't seen the case.


I can agree however it's just an estimate. It's dead money for us at least. No money velocity there. Once again show me the fiscal wealth we have. Hidden money is certainly not wealth to you or I or any immigrant out there. Next explain how you obtain that money. Simply you don't which reverts back to our lack of fiscal wealth. I can only assume they want to keep that financial/ economic information hidden so we do not ask  these questions. I'm not going against your argument though. We have a poorly run economic system that certainly does not promote wealth of citizens and certainly should not promote immigrants.


The GOP is afraid to turn on Trump because they are afraid they will loose his supporters if they do, when the next elections come around. However, by supporting Trump, they are also eroding the moderate base in their own party and driving away independents too. The GOP has yet to realize that they have set a trap for themselves. They are caught either way. The only way to salvation is to dump Trump, take their lumps in the next midterm and Presidential elections and purge their party of the extreme right wingers who have so damaged the party's credibility. It may take years to rebuild the party but it is the only way out of the mess they have created for themselves.


Just one more of many examples of Federal Government overreach, interfering in private business matters, with unconstitutional mandates about dishonesty and fraud. Shockley should claim his rights as a sovereign citizen and call on a patriot militia to break him out.


Think the CBO is inaccurate with its projections?  The White House's Office of Management and Budget released that the CBO estimates of people without insurance is too LOW.  WH OMB project 26 million without insurance rather than 24 million by CBO under the proposed health care legislation.  Yeah, it is clear EVERYONE knows alright - wink wink.


Seems like Viki has limited motivation to help rural Americans.  Her position sounds like it was so far down the food chain that resignation was not necessary.  Her resignation combined with this self-promotion piece suggests she will be asking for our votes again not too far in the future.


Bingo! What is the desired outcome of a Primary Election? Likely, to determine that Party's nominee in the General Election. I fully understand why the Red Team (Republicans) don't want the 'other' team voting; yet I don't quite understand why the Blue Team (Democrats) would allow Red Team member to vote in their Primary. However, it's their Party and they can do what they like.

But the question remains: what does the State of Alaska benefit from a Primary Election when more than half of the registered voters in Alaska do not belong to a political party?

The results in HD 40 are likely skewered, but please note: it was the Red Team that created the rules that even allowed this to take place.

Sounds to me like this guy has his head screwed on right when it comes to family values.

Why then are some Ontario Conservatives upset at this?


Only stupid human error could cause this. Asleep in the wheelhouse? The instruments have alarms, for crissakes!  WTF!!!  This really shows our readiness to our enemies, doesn't it? And your president sez: That's too bad.  Really?  Really?  What a Commando-in-Briefs!


During that 2 May 17 Senate testimony, several Senators asked him directly to say whether Trump was under investigation. Each time he weasel worded the answers…declining to give a straight answer based on some convoluted doublespeak.

STEPPED ON IT: If Comey was so upset over Trump’s supposed obstruction of justice, why didn’t he resign or take his concerns to the DOJ?

Obviously, nothing really was a concern coz NOTHING was wrong. After all, all along, we were told how upright and righteous Comey was…

Comey even set his own precedent by acquiescing to Lynch’s request(?) that he call the Clinton email investigation, “The Clinton matter”.

Why didn’t he resign then?

BTW: What the liberal media fails to report: Comey, Mueller and Schumer are long time associates and friends…and then there is the Comey-Clinton connection…


Somebody got some mommy issues.


.

"Democrat Congresswoman totally fabricated what I said to the wife of a soldier who died in action (and I have proof)."

--

President Trump has "proof".

Great.

"Can you please share that proof with us, Mr. President?

Mr. President?

Hello  sir, are you there?

Sir?"


Too bad there wasn't a massacre? No.

Just....no. Stop.

I'm disgusted at the GOP-NRA collusion that continues in the interest of the gun manufacturing lobby, but you are not helping. At all.


You're missing what wasn't written.  They were laundering money through the Trump organization with shady real estate deals, implying complicity.  Your house of cards is crumbling faster than you're letting on to.


This is a team that is undisciplined, lacks focus, and has little if any concept of "do your job." That coupled with a quarterback who is afraid to go on the field paints a dim picture for the rest of the season. I used to believe that John Elway  was an exceptional GM. I have since changed my opinion. We could have had Kyle Shanahan and Wade Phillips but instead we have this group of lackluster coaches.Meanwhile New England positions themselves for their next franchise quarterback with the  excellent crop coming out of next year's draft


Both of those were a long time ago; the World has changed, and, stupid lefty, I don't fit any of your stereotypes about guns, gold, or Bibles.   Lefty and smart are not synonyms.   Now let's see what my alleged "peers" think about that.


Oh thank the Pillsbury Doughboy that the Muffins didn't increase...I can't imagine a world where our legislators would have to pay MORE for freaking muffins in times of all-around state penny-pinching


Kids do dumb things.  The problem with the digital age is those mistakes can be global in under an hour.  I personally think like crossing the street, parents need to educate their children much better about the dangers of the internet, especially sending pictures of yourself out.  No one should send out naked pictures of themselves, it's a really bad idea.  These boys took advantage of naive younger girls.


I think it just doesn't have the "stigma" with the "mainstream" public that it once did, and as a result of that a lot of people just don't really care if it is legal or not.  I do think, though, that it is very price sensitive and many will decide not to use the stuff produced by the companies included in the new ETF and continue to get there supplies from the vendors they have used in the past.  I once asked the great Peter Lynch what he thought about the market and he said:  I have two balls and neither one is crystal.  Same with me, but I am much more cautious than some in assessing the longer-term potential of these companies.
