No.  This has not come to the Vatican for the first time.  This man was brought to the vatican by the pope when serious accusations had been already floated and an investigation had not cleared him..the retired judge could not reach a conclusion but he was not cleared.  it was well known how he treated with great cruelty the victims and families of abusers.  There was a huge uproar in Australia when he was brought to rome and questions as to why someone, with credentials surely, but not in bank fraud as far as I know, was brought there.  Was it to avoid the australian courts?  I do not know but this has always stunk to high heaven and we are ..and especially australian survivors are..owed explanations.  The pope should accompany him to australia, along with whatever medical teams they would like to assemble, along with whatever confessors they would like to assemble.  they should pack now and take a slow boat.


Correct.
If my memory serves me right, Mrs Trevor Manuel, aka Maria Ramos, also played a part in the decisions that impacted the pensioners.


This has got to be a parody?


And you think Hillary cares about anyone but Hillary? Where are you buying the stuff you're smoking?


Try to be nice allie.


Not only should we do this, we should also offer free abortions to Americans unable to have them in their home country. This in order to counter the clearly deranged actions of the mental case they elected.


I don't want any of my tax dollars going to the people of Texas in emergency funds after Cornyn and Cruz voted against Sandy relief in 2013. We all know they're going to ask for their "pork", and they should not get a penny for their trouble.


It was hard enough to get the stench out of the WH after the Obamas moved out.


But we rescue refugees on our dime bring them to Canadian soil and pay for everything...... no complaints or whining from the left /socialists elites but..... let our Canadian born get stranded and the arrows come out, crazy Canadians travelling  blah, blah , blah.............  Sad😕


That is rich coming from a Liberal party pompom shaker.

How many incompetent ministers has Trudeau appointed because they were XX?


Amen.


You made my point and didn't even realize it.  Will leave this one for others.


What arrant nonsense.  A false equivalence if ever I saw one.


Trid , at Christmas we sang about the world pining in sin and sorrow til He appeared and the
soul felt its worth , a thrill of hope a weary world rejoices for yonder breaks a new and glorious
morn . Fall on your knees , ,o hear the angel voices , o night divine , night when Christ was born ,night divine .
Sometimes poetry alone can carry the deep meanings .


Eichmann had the attitude "superiors must be obeyed without question", you have the attitude "the magisterium must be obeyed without question". Both of you have exactly precisely the same attitude: "let other people make moral decisions for me". It should be obvious that abrogating moral responsibility is not how a morally responsible person behaves. Yet that is what you insist must be done.

Given that HV says that, according to "natural law", the "primary end" of sexual intercourse is procreation. Essentially all sexually active persons know this is untrue -- it's certainly not why they have intercourse. Worse is their justification: HV 4 says "No member of the faithful could possibly deny that the Church is competent in her magisterium to interpret the natural moral law." Which amounts to "we know this is true because we say this is true, take our word for it". Sorry, but I've given up circular reasoning for Lent. Saying this whole thing is twaddle is being kind.


Trump again made a promise he can't keep: bring back coal jobs. He's using jobs as an excuse to roll back environmental protections, but coal has not fallen out of favor because of regulations. It just costs too much. Most utilities are moving away from coal to LNG, not because the latter is cleaner and emits less CO2 (which it does), but because LNG is cheaper and will continue to be for the foreseeable future. It's an economic decision by utilities. But goodbye and good riddance to coal.


'“I am resigning from my position with the Miami Dolphins and accept full responsibility for my actions,” he said. “I want to apologize to the organization, and my sole focus is on getting the help that I need, with the support of my family and medical professionals.”'

Man up, Bucko!
Just what actions are you talking about, jaywalking or snorting lines?
Canned, pro-forma non-apologies do not make is in this world.
"Mistake were made."  is the phrase of a weasel.


This should not be a hard call at all for the judge. The Psychiatric Security Review Board, under whose control she would be if sent to the Oregon State Hospital, has already determined that it would be better for her to be in the community.  So, if the judge sends her off, the Board will undoubtedly immediately put her right back home as a community placement. There is no point in going through the exercise. It is really only a matter of who is going to supervise her. There is nothing to be gained by sending her to the hospital.


Please cite anything that says his parents were fighting for the experimental treatment eight months ago and also had the money to go to the States and do it?  Charlie is in heaven and his parents in emotional hell.  I get that.  Hopefully the fact Charlie is truly in the hands of God will overcome their emotional hell.  However, I haven't actually read a thing that Charlie's parents believe in heaven or hell, so I pray they can accept his death and move on.


Those children born into a single parent household didn't get here because the partners were engaged in same sex activity.  Heterosexuality can be as intrinsically disordered, if you will, as same sex activity.  When it is not ordered to faithful, spousal love it is disordered.


Which was repaid, on time and as expected.  But don't let those nasty little facts get in the way of your fake news, Trumpoid.


I find it hard to believe you don't know.

The mainstream news may help you a bit.  I would give you links, but you say you don't read them, so it would be a waste of my time.

Perhaps just take a look at today's NYTimes.  It may also be nice if you give Guam a casual mention in your prayers.

btw...I would hope your comment was merely meant as snark, which is what it seems to be.


Lets instead focus on stopping the bi annual clubbing to death of the fur seals in the Pribilof's. In this day and age why are locals still allowed to beat a seal to death with a stick? Can you get on this ADN?


Which countries would that be?


The only intolerance I've seen is from the Alt- Left progressives normally known as communists. But since that term and ideology is so hated they have changed the noun to progressives. As if they think we wouldn't catch on??? Duh?

College campuses, unions, media, CNN, MSNBC, G@M all exhibit extreme intolerance.

So no the right simply questions it doesn't beat people up or shoot people.

iT THE LEFT WHO DOES THIS HORRIBLE STUFF


Employers are obligated by law to advise the CNO when they have fired a nurse, and provide reasons.  If the nurse agrees with the reasons and accepts responsibility, there is no further investigation, and the CNO proceeds to the penalty phase.  There appears to have been nothing on its face to make her termination any worse than most of the other 1300 terminations a year the CNO deals with.

Even if the nurse has 'handed in' her licence, the CNO was right to revoke it instead  -  it can make a difference in the future.  In any event, the hearing today was a formality.


Is he the smartest at getting votes or has the media played a big role in him getting elected?  Had his last name not been Trudeau and had we not been constantly told this is some kind of Canadian royalty this guy wouldn't have been elected to city hall let alone PM.

This country got sold a bad bill of goods on a name.  Now we are paying for this mistake.


Groupthink rules. Too bad Orwell isn't still around to document this era.


Sometime the message will get through to Western leaders  that if you attack Muslims, or any other group, you can expect retaliation. For example the West set up Israel with the best of intents except it meant taking land from Arabs/Muslims. The Arabs retaliated against embassies in Africa, a US Naval ship, the US responded attacking a factory in Khartoum and caves in Afghanistan. Then the  Arabs responded with 9/11. It is very clear that if the west attacks Arabs,  the Arabs will respond. Immigration control will do little until the west stops attacking Muslims.


More like the idiot's inactions.


Many intelligent people who can write cut their teeth in Alaska to its great benefit.There is no reason to think that this will not continue. Such is the nature of the place, its unique attractions and its all too-familiar societal struggles.


So? They are allowed to conduct investigations too. Stop being such a tribal robot.


You're right about Chong, he has a high hurdle to jump in May but if he can get past that, he'll be on an even playing field with Trudeau in terms of social policy/inclusiveness, but his policy crown jewel - the revenue-neutral carbon tax - will leave a heck of a lot more money in people's pockets than Trudeau's carbon tax.  In addition, he has credibility as a reformer if voters are still after that.


Don't hold your breathe Terry, they'll just say he's deranged and had nothing to do with Liberalism, which we know is also a mental disorder. So I guess that just makes him a different kind of crazy.


Interesting that almost every comment supporting the minority position cites Muslims.

While last year’s influx was predominantly Muslim (thanks to the West’s ineffectiveness in curtailing Bashar al-Assad’s barbarism), who is to say that all future refugees will be Muslim?

Political strife can easily occur under any religion…..or none at all.  Just look at the Iron Curtain countries of a couple of decades ago.


In fact, there is no gold standard double blind scientific study showing fluoridation actually helps dental health (preventing dental caries). Even local studies show fluoridation in specific age groups of school age children doesn't work. There are many studies showing harm, however. Another point to consider regarding public health is that chlorinating drinking water is treating the water (which is a great idea if you live a few miles downstream of some city that dumps its sewage in the river upstream from your drinking water source). Fluoridating that same water treats YOU and that's medicating you (any chemical used to prevent a disease - dental caries - is a medicine) without your permission. We are fine with you choosing to use any medication you or your medical provider think appropriate - and that choice will likely be pharmaceutical grade whereas the stuff they've been putting in our water here is literally toxic waste containing many heavy metals - poisons in unknown amounts.


It's about time that DOJ get involved in the absurd climate that currently exists on college campuses across the nation. Leftist, PC students have effectively shut down free speech as it comes from anyone speaking who does not agree with their leftist radical agendas. And worse, the Universities, as well as police have aided and abetted in this criminal behavior. Enough!


Seems to me you missed the point - which is that the current president, intentionally or not, is threatening that with his poorly thought out words. Every strong government in history thought they were so special that no threat could ever topple them - but it can and does.
Your criticism of the Canadian constitution may well be valid, but this was not a piece on whether we are "better than them," it was about a growing threat.


In other words, welfare for the rich.  Just what this country needs.  GW is looking better and better.  lol


The O-line is the crux. With a rookie LT, Watson who has battled injuries since college, there are pitfalls ahead.


Newspeople,

Please schedule an interview with the US Dept. of Homeland Security & ask:

Dad Longworth: factory farming is indeed horrible and unethical.


F series for all seasons and occasions for me.


Everybody knows the public education system is already owned by special interest groups, and continually growing. An example would be planned parenthood trying to teach health class, which I'm sure Terry would support 100% since it's democratic demagoguery. Private schools are the last resort for parents before having to teach grade school themselves. I'm an electrical engineer by trade, and went through Alaska's public school system, which was a joke. Get your GED, and bypass high school all together -IMO. Pretty soon the complaints will be about home school parents robbing the public school system, which shows the one-sided hypocrisy, angry, blame hungry, corruption found within these opinion pieces. I'm seriously getting tired of this continual dribble, and yellow journalistic -dare I say- vomit.


When they do this in during congestion it slows traffic more and also causes "steals" spaces from the traffic that is already on the highway or freeway.  The way it should work is you go to the end of the merging lane and then alternate with the people on the highway letting one person in ahead of them.  When someone jumps in before the end of the lane then they will be letting an additional car in ahead of them and everyone behind loses an extra couple of car lengths.


Clerical abuse has been part of church history and ecclesiology for 2 millenia that it was always a topic, sex, to avoid.


As he rode off in his Suburban.


I get it that a strike from N. Korea would be horrid.  But, just because they're testing and Kim's a blow hard doesn't mean he's actually going to do something.  I remember Hussein's tough talk...and it all turned out to be talk.  The guy didn't have that super gun he claimed (back in the 1980's).  His Republican Guard was giving up to supply troops in Desert Storm.  Many dictators are full of it.  Kim may turn out to be just another one of those.  Or, he might be nuts enough to actually try something, but I'd bet there are some around him who would either put him on a short leash or even take him out.  C'mon...a nuclear strike would have at minimum us coming down on him with full support of the big two (China and Russia), or maybe even China jumping in to floor him.


Even if Trump understood what a "deliberative process" is, he would want it not to happen.
Shooting from the hip is the only technique he knows.


And of course on the other hand, if we are all fully subscribed to social services, then there is no need for an 'economy' and can spend our time volunteering for one cause or another. Now, That's how life ought to be!


Be interesting to watch what gets spent before 2019.

I can see a few upgraded shipping berths in the maritimes and along the St Lawrence, perhaps a massive flag production contract for a good Liberal textile manufacturer in Quebec,  a gender equity recruiting poster or two or even a special breed-a-young-soldier incentive payment for parents east of the Ottawa River.

But hardware that can make a difference?  Not on the feminist PM's watch.


Never! Rampahosa will be a very useless president.

Have not seen this before.  A very powerful image.  Thank you.


"If you are born with great privilege, I think you have a moral obligation to chip in to pay for the roads that helped your business and the schools that educated your workers," Gara said.

Let me tell you a little something Gara.....I started at the bottom scrubbing floors and picking up after people. I worked hard to get to this point in my life and my career and sure did not come from a privileged family. I need not a politician such as you telling me anything let alone what you deem as a "moral obligation".


The state media has performed their job well and has once again convinced the people that yet another war is necessary.  I guess Syria's polling numbers were high enough.


The governor disaster declaration is only to protect the state infrastructure, IE Roads, Etc. It has nothing to do with helping Alaskan relocate their homes or saving their property. Only when it endangers the highway system does the state and borough take action. We've seen the videos of Alaskan's homes falling into the river. What did the state and borough do then? They watched and did nothing. The same will happen this time, except the road system will be saved.


This man needs to be EXICUTED


As a nation, we haven't cried enough for the 'thugs'.  That's not my opinion, it's statistics: we jail more people than any culture in the history of the planet, and lead the world in recidivism (repeat offenders).

Many people see criminal justice as good guys vs. bad guys.  I see it as people vs. people.

It's a tragedy that two public servants died in the name of you and me; but nobody's interest is served by treating the defendant like an animal.  If he can be rehabilitated and released, that is clearly the best option for the public good.  An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind.


Trump arguing with China or Russia on superiority while standing in a garage with 3 inches of gas on the floor .....

Trump : I have 10 matches and you only have 5 so I'm stronger than you.

That's what this kind of BS amounts to. Does anyone think about this stuff or has whats left of Trumps brain even get used. Come on Americans ... stop being so ignorant. You are now fast becoming the worlds laughing stock.


I guess English Canada has found its champion!

"I like him cause he say's it the way it is".

Where have I heard this one before? And all of this whilst your government has just passed a bill limiting free speech in the case of anti-muslim discrimination. I guess anti-québec discrimination is A-Ok, though. The same as it's always been to be perfectly fair.


I agree with you though I would hope that most would leave at the end of the administration as opposed to during it.  By leaving in the middle, now the Governor either has to appoint a lame duck director or leave the position open and the duties perhaps filled by someone less qualified.


"Name even one (1) significant change to our social policy that can rationally claimed to be an initiative by social conservatives. Just one ... take your time but don't just scurry away."

Are we counting permanent changes, or just changes that were reversed after Harper left office?

1. Defunded Planned Parenthood in foreign aid spending.
2. Defunded and closed Status of Women offices.
3. Changed federal science funding so that faith based institutions qualified for funding.
4. Office of Religious Freedom
5. Made a chiropractor and creationist (Gary Goodyear), the Minister of State for Science and Technology.  This isn't a policy, but is a pretty good example of how Evangelicals were given direct access to science funding infrastructure to control.


"Culturally in Hawaii for a variety of reasons things like plastic bags, plastic containers, rubber bands etc were historically viewed as valuable commodities to collect and reuse.'

That is a slur on the Hawaiian tradition of revering iwi and insuring that they are respected wherever found.  You should be ashamed of calling iwi trash.


At least the eastern counties GET Demver TV. Those of us down in the southwest corner, LaPlata County get all of our TV from Albuquerque. Gubernatorial debates on TV? Forget that! Susana Martinez is our governor here! Colorado news, weather, & public service announcements? Nope......... just New Mexico. Unbelievable.


What a waste of state and tax dollars.OR.is nothing more than a time out ..then your free...good job who ever championed this bill into law...again with the political hacks we have in office.squandering our tax dollars and now our dividend..theres nobody going to stand up and voice these pragmatic problems for us...
WE THE PEOPLE .
You dig...👍


Eventually regular cars would probably be banned, similar to horse & buggies not being allowed on the road. But I see your point, I'd much prefer trains & such. I hate the stress of driving around town.


Beyond these 3 conditions, the Greens have several issues on which they will have difficulty supporting the Liberals and a couple of issues over which they differ with the NDP.

Assuming that the Liberals & NDP each offer terms of similar value to the Greens regarding the 3 conditions to which the article refers, the extent to which the Liberals and the NDP are prepared to compromise on the further issues in question (or defer acting on such issues) may well determine whether the Greens align with the Liberals or the NDP and how long the accord will be agreed to run.


That is incorrect.  For years Alberta oil tax revenues have been a major source of funds for federal transfer payments to all provinces including BC.

It allowed the Harper government to greatly increase federal transfers to the provinces to assist in financing health care, education, social assistance,  infrastructure etc.

In 2007 those federal transfers were $47.1 billion and by 2015 they had increased by 69.3 % to $68 billion.


Why not a State of Hawaii certificate, seal and all; worth more than what the scammer is offering the naive tourists visiting Kaimana.  The income can be used to keep the pathways clear of debris and garbage.  Offer it at all HVB sites, Hanauma Bay, etc.  Chris will be famous for his scam...and the State a lot wiser!


Mr. D.Jeff you seem not to have a good memory; for a quick refresher, have a look at this:

The liberals are bent on killing the goose that lays the golden egg. Good luck with paying for all your public service pensions , if no-one is generating any income to pay for them.


Yeah, I'm not a carpetbagger either. My family has been in AK for over 80 years and consists of generational fishermen and women, miners, construction workers, Police and other municipal employees. Most are still there, and they get to suffer the collapse of a selfish and spend happy state that has enjoyed the benefits of oil for decades. You want to point the finger at oil companies not paying their fair share? They've subsidised Alaska for almost 50 years. And they are publically traded corporations, not philanthropic foundations. They gave us careers, paid for the development of the state, built our roads, schools, an entire infrastructure across the north slope. They are the primary reason that native corporations like ASRC are worth billions. And our spend happy state government just said "more, more, more". But they're the bad guys? Okay..........


... kinda has to happen at some point, oil is a finite supply here on earth ...


I'm so disappointed in our country Alberta was fallen to just over the worst place in the world to invest and all the press and people of our nation can only comment on a rally in our province and what was said not unlike all the groups that marched against pipelines and have people here riding scooters to church on the QE2 in a blizzard because things are bad here what is wrong with this country.


A good history lesson for you...

Canada is back! Liberals are back. Same old corruption. What favours does Shaw Communications want?


Let's get to your real issue.
An "area" is simply a place, neither inherently good or evil.
It's the nature of certain people in an "area" that scares you.
It must be frightening to step outside because every "area" has scary people.
i mustn't be a very brave person myself, you scare me.


you only need to consider one factor to knock Ontario out of the running - Electricity costs!!
Smoke and mirrors by Wynne to seem to be doing something, anything to get another term


I'm pretty sure this complaint has no significant merit. Janice was invited to be at this Council meeting and present her qualifications and her passion to be appointed to the vacant Council seat. This information is relevant for the Council members to hear and consider in their decision. This is another hideous smear attempt promulgated by the Bellevue Reporter.


I commented on an article of what is happening in eThikwini. Sudden you alledge a rebuttal by dragging me into someting happening in Cape Town, jumping to the conclusion that I have any thing to do with CT, the DA and I am personally knowledgable about what the DA is doing in the cape. Rebuttal would be on the issue in Durban to prove me wrong. You presented no rebuttal but complained about an unrelated incidence about you obviously want an answer from me. Why? Then just for effect you drag race into an argument of illegal conduct by municipalities as if you can read my mind and find me guilty of racism. The irrony is of course that it makes you a racist because you use race as argument for outcome of a debate. Your mind is somehow confused. It seeks to justify illegal acts in the eTikwini metro by pointing out illegal act in CT metro. Does two wrongs now make right.


Raising taxes on everyone, putting taxes on things like children's clothing but reducing them for the rich and corporations is unbelievably callous and I can only say thank god I am not a conservative. Any conservative who thinks this is good governing should be ashamed. Wall's charisma covers up an ethical black hole that he can't hide any more.

Who's talking about giving them a free ride?  The expectation is that they'll come here and contribute, which most of them do, and that helps us take care of our most vulnerable.


Americans have lived through all of this debate before. The Keystone XL debate is almost an exact replay of a similar policy clash during the early 1970s over whether to build a similar multibillion-dollar project: the Trans-Alaska Pipeline. The Alaska project was eventually approved by Congress in 1973 and completed in 1978, but only after fierce debate.

Today, the Alaska Pipeline is recognized almost universally as a technological marvel, an energy policy success story that reduced American reliance on Middle Eastern oil, and one of the most economically successful infrastructure projects in American history.

Sounding much like the global warming alarmists of today, David Bower, president of Friends of the Earth, claimed in 1970:

The annual cost that will accrue to people unborn, and the threat to endangered species, are price tags we cannot fail to consider if we are to be responsible human beings!

Sound familiar?


"Equally important"?

Are you are opposed to abortion as a matter of moral principle, regardless of a woman's choice or her social and economic circumstances?


The S&P 500 is up  a ridiculous 180% since Jan 2009....thanks mostly to Fed cuts and share buybacks.
This has now ended..........but lets go try and get another 40% out of the same pond.
Turn DRIPs off....put your 4%/year dividends aside as a "safety net"....sit back and enjoy.
Never mind the incoming tide of economic recovery/rising rates.
Ignore all this talk of inflation.
Forget Frexit,Brexit and Trump.
I mean hey.....what could possibly go wrong here ??


I saw a commentary that stated: If the environmental disasters being inflicted on the american citizen were committed by terrorists we'd be at war. In corporate america they get virtually a free pass.
What do the people you are voting for do about that?


Ah but an anchor baby brings in his/her mother/father/grannie/2nd cousin


So, if a homosexual appears before a straight judge, should they be able to do the same?


What else doe he mean!. Libtards are focusing on the 0.001% WHILE WE ARE LOOKING FOR ECONOMIC ISSSUES. GET WITH IT!.


Perfect illustration of what's wrong with politics/politicians, on both sides. Schumer's display of disingenuous behavior would be laughable except for the fact that guys like him run our country. They let party loyalty take precedence over what's best for the country.


Then you didn't listen to the homily.  He most certainly does refer to scripture, he refers to God, and offers a solid homily concerning the right to life in accord with Catholic teaching and does exactly what you accuse him of failing to understand - that in fact, he IS educating the conscience.

He also does not say he is going to withhold Communion - why would you and John ever say such a thing?  Giving false information is also a form of lying, isn't it?  MSW came closer to the truth when he said  Fr. Lankeit said they should not present themselves for Communion - at least until receiving the sacrament of Confession.

By the way - EWTN is growing worldwide.  Best check your facts before making such statements, don't you think?


The DP needs to get off the Liberal Band Wagon , with there Opinions , and just report unbiased NEWS !


Chill folks. ALL immigrants coming into Hawaii has to be vetted by the feds at the airport.  CHILL folks, ALL visitors to Hawaii are vetted by the feds because of the "fly list" rule. If you are an illegal, then the FEDERAL AUTHORITIES should have your name on a list,DUH... Trumps target is the Mexicans that walk across the desert. HELLO trumpiez, we're surrounded by an ocean and is the most remote islands in the world!! Thanks city council for getting RED panties in a bind this morning. Much adieu over nada.


"Since when did the physical appearance of a candidate become more important than than the policies they wish to implement?"
... since we elected Justin Trudeau the vapid.


So I take it you are not a Democrat. LOL     Glad you got that off your chest.


You are the most uncivilized person I've ever encountered, Ken ... and you're from Trumpland, aren't you? Incidentally, lesbians are homosexual and have the lowest incidence of AIDS of us all. Incidentally no 2, AIDS was spawned in humans by heterosexuals killing chimpanzees for food ... join the dots ...


My parents. I called them “Mom” and “Dad”. Nice people. Dad was the taller one.


I said this already in another Trump article but last night a friend was over at the house (who voted for Trump) and when pressed for thoughts on Trumps cabinet positions, call to Taiwan, etc he responded with a blank stare, 'well, I haven't really been following things since the  elections...' I think that's probably true for a large portion of Trump supporters. They don't have a damn clue of what they did or who they voted for.


Some actual stats on the proportion of non handicapped  thirty something depending on their parents are lacking in this article.


To not invite the President would be classless, and  I doubt that happened, but regardless he shouldn't go. It's the media's loss.


Let me guess...Trump's pick for Secretary of State.  Or Supreme Court.


It appears Trump leaked the first two pages of his 2005 tax return


Let me take a wild guess why they only play one album at KONR.

Is it...... because they discovered that their listening audience, like most Americans, has an attention span so short most of them never even notice that it's just one album?


The only real accomplishment Trudeau has had is to  ensure Canada has our traditional "First Passed the Post" electoral system for at least another generation.  By being a fool he has been stopped.


The problem is the some people still have a fundamental misunderstanding of the purpose of Canadian cities.  Our cities are not places for people to live, retire, work, enjoy, do business, create culture and interact.

Not even close.

Our cities are places for Chinese money launderers to park their money, and for developers to grow more wealthy helping them do so.  Or so all levels of government have apparently decided on our behalf.


It's always dangerous to suggest any form of a new tax to a Liberal government that lied about its plans to balance the budget.

Ultimately, the obesity epidemic is a parenting issue more than a kid's problem. It's highly doubtful that a new tax will change behaviour, but it certainly is an easy way to rob the lower and middle classes of their diminishing incomes, especially after they pay the hydro bills and the many levels of carbon taxes.

So much for the farce of helping the middle class - however it may be defined today.


People mistake "less educated" with stupid. That is a very stupid mistake.


Pierre T lived as was called prior to the ‘70's, a life of an 'old bachelor' until he was 52 yrs when he married a childlike, un-medicated bipolar 23yr old woman, 1/2 his age & had 3 children in succession

You say 'some teenage boys also went ga-ga over' Trudeau, as he flamboyantly represented a Fr. & Br. Cdn; promoting his Fr.Cdn culture dogmatically

PE Trudeau, as per you was 'hot and stylish..[&] bore.. respect..' for Gays.
As Memory recalls: he was quite facile in bridging both genders equally well

Was entirely a norm for rich Gay men born1919 to have a girlfriend cover or marry in order to hide their homosexuality; especially men in politics

Most people at 50ys sharply realize their mortality; intellectuals perceive immortality with production of their own biological children; especially selfish narcissists

Unethical rich spoilt men who jump for the easy way out are essentially 'without courage of truth'
The Real Story of the character of Pierre-Elliott Trudeau is not known.


The Canada I know reviles anonymous trolls who advocate that our government break all standards of decency and international law. Always has, always will.


And yet you are encouraging management to ship jobs offshore rather than engage in collective bargaining.

Nope. One was a glib diatribe, the other 2 were simple statements. But thank you for demonstrating your predilections for over-reactionary censorship. I'm afraid to say that it appears people like you have a hard time calling out the USA as the freest nation on earth, whilst having no trouble at all champing at the "bad baaad USA" bit, all day long. Admit it, The USA is the Freest.

Internet cafe? Dude that is so 1990's.  WiFi and hotspots are everywhere in Honolulu and Kakaako. Yer lucky you can't afford the rent. You would go but in a couple of months.


There was never a Prime Minister that was familiar with each and every bill their government passed. It's impossible. Which is why the Westminster system of government runs on the concept of individual ministerial responsibility and not cabinet collective responsibility.

Good politics though by the Alberta MP. He picked a good opportunity to highlight something that he obviously cares about and got Trudeau (who I credit for putting himself on the hot seat in this tour) to commit to having his Minister explain her decision.


And I respect that. But ignoring all the success the Broncos have had under his tenure is ridiculous. He's not perfect, but it could be far, far worse.

Again, I'm sorry to see Sloter go. But it had nothing to do with ego. That's been made clear the past 6 years.


Oh look everyone, it's a Joe Miller voter.  I'll bet you want government to keep its hands off your Medicare too.


Agree. There's potentially huge tax source right under our noses.
Each house owned by foreign money is in essence a source of a deferred capital gain, meaing top dollars for the government. The govts at all levels need to know how big that source is, and where it lurks. Therefore StatCan strategy is right to the point, and every dollar spent there will make a 20x return in the future.


BS. Then why don't the Germans, Japanese, Italians and everyone else who has lost a war turn into those delusional terrorist?

It's the religion that breeds these suicidal simpletons. Can you guess what religion that is? I'll give you a hint - it has done nothing for the world in the last 1000 years.


We on the liberal side know we're winning the opinion battles when you MAGAphants have to resort to bring the PREVIOUS president into the argument.  Sad, you guys won, you guys own it.


Blah, blah, blah, whine, whine, whine......


This is really an overdue recognition of reality. Turkey was never a good fit for the EU; it would fare much better in Russia's sphere of influence.


We the citizens pay 100% of all salary and benefits earned by public employees.   However that total compensation picture currently has government workers earning 87 to 93 cents on the dollar compared to what they could be paid working elsewhere.   When you leave off Retirement those employees are getting paid 30+% less than their private sector counterparts.   The only reason total compensation is even as close as 87-93% is that retirement.

If you plan on arguing for reductions in retirement you better be prepared to raise wages to market values for total compensation.   Good luck with that.


Honorable Senator Micciche and others realize that other revenue streams won't come into fruition without more effort to trim costs. And barely 1% of Walkers budget(which has also trimmed a little) is carefully using a scalpel. It must not be fun to have to trim the budget being the peoples representatives, but kudos to them for making an effort.


Funny, we didn't flee from the fire, we (along with dozens of other people) drove toward it to evacuate people and dogs. And then we got to go home and evacuate our property. They ran.


elites? define elites? What's an elite?

A clue might be found in the 93% of the popular vote Clinton received in Washington DC. You know, from that subset of the ruling class who see their gravy train coming to an end.


The residents on the Toronto Islands have no right to be there...it was all a political cave in. Time to cancel their leases and make the Toronto Islands what they should be...100% park land.
No residents=no noise issues.


Berkeley continues to lose credibility. Even Obama raised concerns during his presidency about the disturbing assaults on free speech across American campuses by ignorant snowflakes (the same thing is happening in Canada). Universities are being taken hostage by a vocal minority of career protesters who are an embarrassment to higher education. The "anti-fascists" groups don't see the irony of shutting down speaking events while assaulting fellow students, looting business, and vandalizing school property. Shameless cowards in black masks who use violence to shut down opposing viewpoints. The University should expel any student who engages in violence and intimidation in an attempt to shut down speakers on campus (whether right or left). If Berkeley does not do whatever it takes to protect students and the speaker, Trump should pull the school's funding.


yeah,  arnold backing the far right team, is kind of like having the nazis and KKK backing trump. You really hate both anyways since they are so corrupt.


Eh... sort of. There is a Harvard Business School case study on this used in law classes you take in business school.

McDonalds policy was to keep coffee at temp X but many stores, including store in question kept coffee at X+40 (or something like that). WAY too hot for human consumption, intake, etc. The reason the lawsuit stuck was because of this issue and the fact that this happened way more than once. I think I remember reading the cotton in her sweatpants actually melted into her skin it was so hot.

Additionally, the woman (actually her kids because I believe she was an older lady) tried for years to just get them to cover medical costs and McD's refused. It wasn't until much later that someone with a little more clout picked up her case and made a big deal about it. In the end she still didn't ask for, or get much, if I recall correctly.

While it seems like a "yeah, duh, stupid!" scenario or a money grab, it was actually far from.


Of note UAF has not gone from having a Chancellor to no Chancellor overnight.

Mike Powers is still interim Chancellor and will be through the end of the summer, when a different interim Chancellor will be hired (I think Mike would rather go fishing than continue to make 300 k/yr, which I respect). The transition from UAF Chancellor to no UAF Chancellor will likely take time as the UA system is reorganized.


Employers check Facebook pages and they can come back to haunt people when they run for politics or a job requiring a background check. This young lady at Dalhousie will likely have to answer for her words one day. I assume that she will be devoting her life  to working on reserves or in Africa for the oppressed masses. Good for her !


Sears US stock went up 25% on friday after hitting an alltime low of $5.60  on thurs from and alltime high of $200 about 10 years age. Time to buy.


There were probably extenuating circumstances.


When America is great so is Canada.


There is very little real news and journalism going on in the mainstream media. Most are just pushing their own obvious agenda. They are accused of being fake news every single day, and "journalists" are angry because these labels are starting to stick.


@ kuroiwa
KaBoom!


'She was no angel'

/sarc


No, she did not. Stop lying, if you can.


Just shows that the GOP can turn anything into political fodder.  Why is the state of this project a partisan political issue, and not just a city engineering issue?

Oh yeah, anything to help poor people has to be opposed by the GOP. The people trying to put this project together are involved with other affordable housing initiatives, so they have to be stopped. The GOP is sticking to its core principles.


Two hundred calendar days until impeachment.
Forty -eight hours until insults another country.
Says something stupid: two minutes into his inaugural speech.


Praying Mantis have been sold for years through garden stores to control aphids- among other garden pests. Folks bought them unwittingly...not knowing they ate MANY other creatures as well! And with our more temperate winter weather these last few years, the mantis have flourished!


WHAT GIVES YOU THAT QUALIFICATION, CANADA HAS THE MOST DIVERSIFIED ECONOMY IN THE WORLD AND ENDLESS RESOURCES TO SUSTAIN THAT PROCESS. WHAT WE DON'T HAVE IS BEING MASTERS IN OUR OWN HOUSE, WE HAVE SOLD OFF OUR ASSETS TO INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONS AND WE DO LITTLE VALUE ADDED MANUFACTURING HERE. WHAT WE NEED ARE NEW IDEAS FOR THE ECONOMY AND SEND MR POLOZ BACK TO SCHOOL FOR UPDs ON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT.


Yep, I  am going to take my real estate purchase advice from a convicted drunk driver.  Not likely.


I cannot see the logic behind her wanting this to be resolved by mediation. Regardless of whether public opinion is that he did it, she cannot publicly accuse him without facing him in court. This trial by public is not fair, mostly because in a country where sexual offenses is rife, society is more sympathetic toward the victims of such offenses ( and rightfully so ).

However publicizing her story in the media without recourse to the court, makes me question her end goal. Simply put, it is her right to speak up and seek justice for the alleged offense committed , but at the same time HE had the right to face his accuser in a court of law - which he has indicated that he is willing to do


Gardner shouldn't be allowed back in the state if he costs us billions of dollars.  This law would cost something like 4.6 billion in medicare reimbursements for the state.  That would be a bill for Colorado taxpayers to pick up.  This is red state welfare bill sending more money to states that take more than they pay already.


You can beat that by:

Buying a new Toyota Camry, which offers much better fuel economy, safety features, acceleration and drive characteristics than a 1999 Camry, for $28,000 and keeping it for 13 years.

If you buy a very reliable Japanese car, maintain it well and don't get bored with it, I don't see the value in buying used.


Er, they were Jews who lived by the Mosaic Law as interpreted by Pharisees. Catholics understand the operation of grace and our need to cooperate with God. And, do remember, Zacchaeus didn't expect anything from Jesus. He sought sight of Jesus, responded when he was called, repented his past transgressions and. so far as we know, amended his life.


The Russian Candidate just cannot keep his mouth shut.


Strange how that thought came to your mind. Why, same as your personal experience perhaps?


I, being of sound mind here, happily admit I do not know what on God's Green Earth you are talking about!

However, have a good night?
^o)


Agreed.    As bad as it sounds, the Harper Govt threw Duffy under the bus for all the wrong reasons, and now the taxpayer will probably have to foot the bill, just like we are for Khadr.     That's the way the law works - like it or not.    Even Duffy and even Khadr have rights.

But why would Harper be smiling about this?   Is he a psychopath?


OK.


No real treasures among those rifles. I wonder if they were acquired legally in the first place?


Too bad Don didn't write about the role the RG played in instigating the mob.


except the part where Hitler was a socialist. Right?

"We are socialists, we are enemies of today’s capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions." Hitler May 1 1927


Or probably much diluted to apply it through eyes, not skin.


The Soviets didn't call 'em "Useful Idiots" for nothing...


The laws were written by the Liberals, and they squealed like stuck pigs when the Conservatives tried to tighten them.
You have a very selective memory.


Sens win,  Laughs lose... Condon played great tonite..  A total team effort (except the 2nd period)


"Speculation" , (i.e., 80,000 new residents per year since 1975), has been driving up prices to "unprecedented levels" since the early 1980's.  If there were not a steady, expanding, underlying demand for housing your "speculators" would lose their shirts.
.
For the vast majority of people, the house is their largest asset, by far.  Any government that does anything to impair the value of that asset is courting disaster.


so what!! these cuts and changes mean no changes to anyone with cancer but nice try with the meaningless scare tactic bs as usual from the alt left


I don't think we disagree on these fundamental issues, but I think you are broadly painting most journalists as the worst kind, when there actually are many more good journalists than bad ones. ...


There is another element to this story that is overlooked. The narrative that it is the institutional power which corrupts an otherwise pro-social being into committing indecent acts is short sighted. The reality is that all life long sex offenders understand at a very early age that manipulating their environment and the people around them is critical to maintaining their offence cycle without being caught. What these people learn is how to look for fault lines in workplace cultures which can be exploited to protect them from pro-social forces; such as people who will turn them in,  so the offender can feed their urges unmolested.   Its not a case of a good person going bad, it is really a case of a sex offender figuring out how to exploit the system in order to pursue their interests. The fame and power are simply means to an end. What better way for a serial offender to protect themselves than to be associated publicly with high profile people of strong moral character.


There for awhile, I thought all the clowns in Oregon worked for PERS, CoverOregon, EWEB and LTD.  Now I see that some work for UO too.


The so called "low carbon economy" has been an environmental and economic disaster for Ontario. Hundreds of thousands of migrating birds, including many rare species, have been slaughtered by wind turbines along the shores of Lake Huron, Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. The obscenely profitable contracts awarded to wind turbine owners, many of them the wealthiest corporations on the planet, are bankrupting Ontario. Canada's Environment Minister has nothing of value to pitch on her US visit.


He probably has Osteogenesis Impefecta.
Just check if his sclera are tinged slightly blue- that is a hallmark sign.


A savings to the taxpayers, or do we have to bury him?


There is no abortion law. Your "freedom of speech" ship also sailed, is becalmed and even worse, run aground. FYI  abortion is not a Charter right.


Did you know that immigrants commit crime at lower rates than US-born citizens? Probably not.


Oh Yeah! I always liked Sarrs market. Their produce was alway ripe and way less then Safeway and they had Quality bulk quanity meat for very reasonable prices. Hopefully they still will because I am sick to death of paying 25 or 30 dollars for 2 steaks from Safeway or Walmart


With respect, the onus is on the poster who discredited outcome performance of private and charter schools relative to public schools on account of the "apples and oranges" basis of that comparison to substantiate the claim that private schools exclude "students who are recent immigrants."

Anyone who has attended a private school function involving parents can confirm that the poster's assumption about a lack of recent immigrant students is plainly false.

Something else that might enhance "our understanding" would be to examine some hypothesis  explaining why privileged folk would pay for something that some suggest provides no value.  Either privileged folk make bad decisions with money, or the suggestion that there is no value in private education is misguided.


Wow! Little Jimmy got his feelings hurt!


I did not recognize him.

His sleeves were not rolled up....


what do you think the chances are that APD has thought of doing that already?


Exactly!  We should get the government out of marriage altogether.  In fact, for income tax purposes, just make everyone file separately, as individuals.  That is, if we don't get rid of income tax altogether, which would be even better (and shift to consumption taxes).


Thank you Globe and Mail for not allowing an honest opinion to be posted here, and for restricting my account to 3 posts every 24 hours.
If you look at my last 5 posts (all deleted by the censors) you will understand where I am coming from.
This is simply ridiculous and speaks millions of the peer-moderating system you have implemented here.


One last point,  back in January (not long after those 4 million women marched the day after the inaguration) political staffers developed a working manual on opposition to Trump behavior. They circulated it online and became the Indivisible Project. It was and is an excellent document...these guys know how to get the attention of their "electeds".

There are now 6000 Indivisible groups nationwide whose membership is in the millions, each week they put online suggestions for "Resistence" for  that period, which include visiting electeds at home office, contacting elected s in all sorts of ways and an infinite number of other suggestions...available to anyone who googles Indivisible, gives their zip code and joins a local group.

There are  36 groups in my immediate 10 mile radius, there were 60 members in Jan when I joined ONE of these groups.....there are 570 now in that ONE group

I suggest to the bishops this model of effective and contemporary interaction. NOT an ad hoc committee.


"No one has a right to make decisions for billions of people based solely on ideology," Kerry said

case in point- the united states government


“They don’t say it, but I suspect there are some here who just don’t like Pride,” said Councillor Joe Cressy, a left-leaning politician in a downtown ward, who noted that Pride funding was targeted in the 1990s over the issue of nudity in the parade, and more recently, over the participation of a group called Queers Against Israeli Apartheid.

“Today we are being told we shouldn’t fund Pride because of police participation,” Mr. Cressy said. “Somehow, Pride is always held to a completely different standard than every single organization we fund in this city. Nobody’s talking about the symphony or the AGO or what their policies are.”

I know Joe, I know...why just last year I was at the symphony with the nude cellists strutting their stuff, and the AGO's showing of Jewish caricature art from the 1930s wasn't protested at all...double standard I say....you're bang on with your "suspicions" ...


She will win unless the jury is trumped.


Cue the hordes of "activists" sent by their teachers and professors, and their music/movie-star leaders, to descend on the site to "occupy" it on behalf of Gaia.


Just call me Your Majesty.


I don't think you even have to teach them the history.  The Enlightenment is as the enlightenment does; a lifestyle that is the product of reason and social progress.  And that's why I don't see the burqa as much of a threat here, really.


Some people see everything through a very narrow viewfinder. I'm surprised he/she did not blame Obama.


I can (and do) use Google. I'm simply pointing out that it's not all non-profits that you believe should be immune to the tax/political silence restriction. I'm pointing out the hypocrisy of this. You're just failing to see it. And see this reasoning doesn't even require Google to think it through. Just a willing and rational mind.


Nope. Two airlines have a duopoly.  They are smart enough not to have a race to the bottom on this route.


That is not true.  Where did you come up with that?  The front claws are an important part of a cat's identity.  Even IF a cat stays indoors, it need to know that it can defend itself if necessary.  You should never be allowed to have a cat in your home.  And I'm not being mean to you.  I'm trying to be kind to cats.


Mr. Cole fails to bring the subject of oil taxes and tax credits into the equation. No discussion of oil prices and revenue income is accurate or complete without bringing in the fact that Alaska is paying millions in tax credits. SB21 did Alaska in.  When Mr. Cole points to revenues, he should in fairness, point out that Alaska is making essentially nothing on it's oil. The main source of oil income for the state is royalty oil which is the one eight share from the legacy fields and the state sells to Tesoro. We are being robbed and that is where the focus should be. Many of the oil fields yield no income for Alaska when the producers claim production costs and take cash tax credits from the state. Coincidently the $1000 every Alaskan lost from their PFD equals about what the oilies got in tax credits.


Golly aren't we generous and welcoming!  Very unlike Stephen Harper.  Much more like Angela Merkel!
Open the border.... announce we are a safe refuge for refugees, and watch as the trickle turns into a torrent!  Our stupidity is astonishing.


The word apostle has several meanings and since the Gospels were written in Greek it is appropriate to use their definition.
Jesus arrived in Jerusalem on Palm Sunday with his disciples including women. It is not unreasonable to believe they participated in the Last Supper. Beware of being too literal in your reading of the Gospels. Jesus often invited tax collectors and sinners to dine with him including women. Women would play a significant role the next few days.
The cross is a symbol of suffering that all of who follow Jesus must face in our lives. And with it we will find the love of God and transformation into spiritual life.
I just can't see God asking for his son's death as a sacrifice for the sins of the world. Maybe your view of God requires it? But the God Jesus presents as His Father is love, mercy and forgiveness. God already sees mankind with love. God doesn't need a sacrifice. Jesus was killed by the Romans who were convinced by the priests that he was a threat.


They interviewed a lot of attendees at CPAC and asked them if they felt Milo was really advocating sex with children.  Most said no.

Milo definitely made a mistake, but it's unfair he's being crucified while Maher & celebrities like Meryl Streep (who applaud Roman Polanski) get a pass.


Chuck Schumer and Democrats like him are people that Republicans need to keep in mind on voting day.


Thank you Steve Smith, those are EXCELLENT and helpful tips! Same kudos to Jeffrey.
We're not going to let the bad guys win - pretty soon they'll get it that we're not going to just roll over and let them commit crimes against us!


As someone who spent 20 years commercial fishing by the Chuit (as we called it) river - I really don't get the focus on salmon as the centerpiece of this fight over mining. There aren't very many salmon there - period - and no one depends on them for much of anything. What is cool about the the Chuit is the drainage itself - a place of marvelously sized cottonwoods and estuarine serenity that is not always easy to find.

Over the last 50 years the mobile part of Anchorage has developed the west side of the inlet into a summer vacay destination - all the way from the west forelands to Knik arm. And very likely the future will see even more access - perhaps by road. The kind of experience one gets from slapping mosquitos and watching for bears in drainages like the Chuit is of enormous value to city-bound folks - and we should preserve those close opportunities.

I've got nothing against coal - BUT our legislature should find a way to make the Chuit drainage an important state park.


It appears that your complaint is that the author did not write the article you wanted written. Other people have different priorities than you have.


This hag is out today saying that she lost because men told their wives to vote for Trump.  You just can't make up this amount of craziness.


That may have been true a couple of decades ago but the people in DC today are the professional political class, the UniParty, Wall Street, K-Street and the corporate media. Decepticons. They're counting on you.


"... Duluth, Minnesota, where in 1985 the secretary of the Interior used section 5 of the IRA to transform the land under a boarded-up Sears & Roebuck Co. store downtown into an Indian reservation ..."  Feds. can do that unilaterally on federal lands, but must negotiate with the state, if it is state land.  Usually there is an exchange of lands of equal value between the Fed. and State.


I agree!
What is this nonsense?  Did Jesus ever talk to Cesar how to run earthly politics?
‘Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world.  …My kingdom is not of this realm.”’
 (John 18:36)
Besides, what can Pope F advise to American president Trump?
Trump very well advise Pope F. to turn over pedophile clergies to CJS.
LOLOLOLOL!!!!!
Besides, who can advise the Pope what he should do/say to anyone let alone the president of US!!!


Let's ALL surround NewYorkisatn and Californastan and make them read the American Constitution.


I would ask, "What sort of nuance does the author expect?"
N.Korea is already a pariah in the international community. Repeated sanctions have had little effect except to punish the common people; the ruling class continues to live well. After more than half a century of poverty does the author expect the people to rise up for regime change; not likely. Embargos have had little effect on stalling their missle & nuclear programs.
The only nuance I can see is to convince China to curb their dog. But China have become such an economic power that sanctions against them would also cause international chaos, and not likely to be honored.
So the only option I see is to convince the international community that regime change is in order for the sake of international peace. Thus the threat of "fire and fury" is for consumption of the international community, not N.Korea.


I project?  You're the one hear talking about knee jerk violence and hatred, implying that all that supported Trump are racist, blah, blah blah, etc, as a Mexican, illegals should leave.  They should come here the right way, society has laws and they are more than welcome to come.  Just not illegally.


Dave we need to tap the threes quarters of a billion dollars worth of oil credits that we gave away and  that you shilled for in Sb21 first..
Remember, you said if we did not pass it, everyone would leave and it would break Alaska..you had crews heading for North Dakota and it was important that we did , it was so good for Alaska that you thought you might have to leave..fooled us didn't you.
We are  here .because your guys in the legislature did not feel it was important to protect the owners bottom line, but it was good for you employers to walk away with an ungodly sum of money.
You you also were very good at tapping federal money to fix the haul road last year...and now you want to drill into the Pfd.. not by leveraging into a way solve our crisis, it but by just dissolving it, to pay for a bad decision...
I want business to prosper and thank you for being such a big part of the boom...but should we listen to anything you recommend ,when you gave us such lousy advice last time.


The thing is should their words hold more weight because they make more money or are more famous than most of us, i say no. Hollywood has thrown the fame and money weight around in politics for way to long and whos cares what they think they are people out of touch and use their positions to manipulate the masses, and not to our benefit.


I bought NA for the first time on Mar. 7 2016 and had it in a drip for a
 year. I'm up about 53%(google finance) as of this writing. My original $66,000.00 is now worth over $102,000 and the dividends keep coming in. Life is "gooder" thanks to Canadian Banks.


Yes, and "Reefer Madness" is now a cult classic....."let's all get loaded and watch Reefer Madness."  When I saw in as a 10 grader, it was presented as a serious warning to save us from destruction!!

The Feds continue to list it as a Schedule 1 drug, so some folks must still believe the message.


Great column, amazing how much of Cdn history you packed in , thanks , and yes getting to know each other is the answer


Prayers are more useless than votes...


Left-wing and right-wing tyrants are all horrible.  No bass-ackwards intended.  But lefties tend to ignore the left-wing tyrants such as Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot, whose reigns tried to establish utopian versions of socialism, resulting in the deaths of tens of millions, either by starvation or carnage, in the process.

BTW, do you want the US to follow in the footsteps of Venezuela?  After Venezuela, the slope becomes slippy and results in totalitarianism.


There once was a time when what you describe didn't exist, and the government existed because of the people.  Today, government exists in spite of the people.  The powers that really be control our government, and they aren't about to relinquish that control until their goals are achieved.


This is what happens when you rely on AP. Yesterday's news today.


Yuk, yuk, yuk . . .


I'm still voting liberal. Remember, better a corrupt liberal than a conservative...


Nassa, you say? Hmm.


"Only a fool cuts a consumption tax over income tax. " Indeed, but given Chretien's previous stance a slam dunk to win votes. Still meets your criteria of a tax cut for all - there is a large overlap between Canadians who pay virtually no GST and those who pay no Federal tax either. That's the disadvantage of such progressive tax rates, out tax curves are skewed so heavily towards the wealthy paying, cuts to lower rates have a very limited effect.

"employment rates never returned to pre-recession values and still haven't. "Nope and they won't until right before the next bubble bursts (and I doubt even then).  The world would need to have suffered all the years of excess stimulus that ran from 1998  through to the crisis and that is hard to see happening .


Wrong Clint.  Much essential government does shut down.  And as explained in the article, much private business will shut down too.


Sorry, you are right.  Ecuador.  I see my comment got deleted though.  Maybe because I called Assange a name associated with feminine hygiene products, so let me rephrase.  Wikileaks did not break the Abu Ghraib story.  CBS news did.  Wikileaks is mostly famous for the release of State Department cables leaked by Bradly Manning.  As a person of the "left" persuasion, I have always viewed Assange as a feminine hygiene product, and am happy to see him rot in the Ecuadoran embassy.  I understand that the Ecuadorans recently cut off his internet access - possibly because even though they are giving him asylum, they are probably not enamored with him working so tirelessly to get Trump elected president of the U.S.


No colluding, no colluding, you're the colluder!


Thank you for presenting a few facts (in most cases omitted from news stories on this subject), and elucidating the relations between Obama and the Standing Rock Sioux.  Obama has indeed politicized this matter by overriding a very-well-stated Federal judge ruling and has allowed the situation to get out of hand.  So much for the rule of law.


Oh, and you're qualified to decide what everyone needs to do.  I don't think so.   You failed to address my point regarding your claim of false equivalency between Native people and the invading EuroAmericans.   I said that the numbers alone make your statement IMPOSSIBLE.   You sink to insults, value judgments about living in the past, what is history, and what is growing up and living.  Someone is choosing in live in whatever reality they like, but it's not me.   If you were correct, you would be able to counter my disagreement with something solid, but you can't.  If you could, you would have.


Is the author, in effect, calling on all indigineous people to never accuse anyone of cultural appropriation?  I think she is.  I agree with her


They used to say the same things about Jews.


They already are - that's exactly how the CPP works. It is also one reason why the total lifetime CPP benefits received by women far exceed the total benefits received by men.


"American Thinker is a daily online magazine that is moderately to strongly biased toward conservative causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. It may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports and omit reporting of information that may damage conservative causes."


"Instead of sticking its finger in the federal government’s eye with such a declaration, Phoenix came up with measured recommendations designed to foster good relations between law enforcement and communities being targeted by the Trump administration’s deportation frenzy.
The recommendations assure that the city will comply with SB 1070, the state immigration law that outlines expectations for local law enforcement involvement in immigration actions."

"The sanctuary city public petition never even got out of the gate with the Democratic-majority council yesterday. They denied the measure with Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton and city attorneys arguing state immigration laws restrict the city from taking such an action. “This issue is settled as a matter of law. It was settled for Phoenix and any other Arizona city by Senate Bill 1070.” Stanton said.

So yeah no sanctuary funds cause it is not a sanctuary city.

Thanks for playing.


This is interesting.  I often wonder who votes for this dunderhead.  Great to see his supporters come out and defend his ignorant and bullying tactics.


Equality of opportunity is not the same as equality of outcome.
.
I agree with you that our practices still have some ways to go to meet the complete spirit of the law.  I would counter however that racism is often more prevalent in immigrants than in our dominant culture.


Gee, here's a thought; how about doing research into criminal violence...which covers guns, knives, baseball bats, rolling pins, etc. for example, my aunt was murdered in a Charles Manson style murder. Her killer used a knife, and cut off her limbs, writing death threats to my family in her blood. The issue here is violent crime, not guns. By singling out guns this is purely political, and an attack on 2nd amendment rights.


Hmmm...let me get this straight.   So now the person that used to be in charge of technology security at the employment department,  a department which has managed to loose my Personal Identifiable Information(PII) on five different occasions, is now our new deputy secretary of state.   Sounds like a perfect choice.


A lot of people have been living in their trucks, cars and under bridges since 2008. Maybe the Globe & Mail would devote some space to them?


"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy, when skies are gray.... you'll never know, dear, how much I love you, please don't take my sunshine away."

Equally relevant.


I suppose - if you considered the opinion important to you one way or the other.


Liberals are obsessed with such things. Dont ask me to explain it.


rocky, are you the kalani that i talked to several times sitting on the wall by the palace, under the banyon tree with the hawaiian flag wrapped around him? i hope not, because that kalani told me its ok to kill anyone, even kids (his exact words), that arent Hawaiian, if it will restore the kingdom? no matter, i know this rocky, if parents teach their kids to hate, that it is ok to discriminate against minorities, other religious groups, poor people, women, gays, transgender persons, the handicapped, foreigners or anyone different than themselves,that in 2016, it is wrong.  292ce, 1093ce, 1493ce, 1793ce and 1893ce are past, they are gone. forever.  Caesar, Genghis, Napoleon, Kamehameha are gone.   children on this planet need parents that teach them how to respect others and accept life as it is in 2016.  urge officials to get tablets and free WiFi into every child's hands so they can find out for themselves, the unbiased truth about the world they are growing up in.


Brownback;

a professed Catholic who does not seem to practice Christianity,

memorizes the ten commandments of the old testament but seems to ignore the two great commandments of the new testament,

possibly practices the spiritual acts of mercy but shows no proof of practicing the corporal acts of mercy.

Not really a very good choice for this position, though I suspect Kansans of all religious persuasions are rooting for him to get it.


What a joke....Any credibility the iron dog once had is gone.  I hope the sponsors are paying attention and realize that this race is run by a bunch of two bit hillbillies, and isn't deserving of their support or money.  T n T, I hope you sue the hell out of them


But make no mistake, if we don't repeal Obamacare, that $1000 a month will be all of our group rates in 10 years. We'll either pay it as premiums or we'll pay as taxes, but there won't be anyway around it other than to stop working and live on the dole.


I am saddened by the horror that took place in the Mosque in Quebec, and I can't possibly imagine the anguish that has fallen upon the families of the victims.

Konrad-- you cite the horrific event that took place in 1989 in Montreal, but you left out a few facts: This tragedy was perpetrated by a young Muslim man named Gamil Rodriquez Liass Gharbi, the son of  an abusive, misogynist Algerian Muslim businessman named Rachid Liass Gharbi.

Following the divorce of his parents, Gamil changed his name to include his Canadian mother's maiden name, and he became Marc Lepine.

Is this relevant? Perhaps.

Google it.


Oh, I think that they have resolve: resolve to obstruct and dismantle all government entities which might in any way work for the common good, not just the desires of the 1%.


It will be interested to the rest of the story - for instance, what percentage of lower income kids are in programs like Headstart or day care as opposed to home with mom?  Where is this TV and media use occurring = in the home or at daycare?


So, rather than having a "sexist" point of view, you'd expect everyone to have a feminist point of view instead? Will that make me young again?


You think it's about Korea?
If so then the Berlin Wall was about Germany.
And Cuban Missile Crisis was about Cuba.
And the War of 1812 was about Canada.
We get so little analysis.

For one thing, the red states are too dependent on the federal spigot to get very far with their silly threats.


What a vindictive loon.


Correct! My mistake.


focus to the real polluters in this world..

but , that's hard.


Good tips from both of you.  A savvy user will generally know when they get a bogus pop-up, or an unsolicited phone call from "Microsoft support" requesting access to your PC so they can protect you from the bad guys.  (Note to all:  Microsoft will never, ever, make a call like that, and neither will any other reputable software provider.  It would be logistically impossible and ruinously expensive to provide that level of support).

The social engineering aspect is at least as much of a threat as the malware.


"I was shown the great patience of one waiting until I realized he was always and humbly right."

I *think* this is precisely the unholy chain that Fr. Martin seeks to uncouple in his book. If that is the case, you can imagine how merely changing the terms of the conversation might take an entire book to explore.


If one offers a Degree in Wiccan Studies at a Catholic Institution, something is wrong with the College claiming to be Catholic. Same goes for YOGA or any other practice that is forbidden by Catholic teachings.  Are they going to offer a PH.D. course in Planned Parenthood next?


Sorry. Too bad. There were several offers of safe passage much earlier. You decided to cast your lot with the rebels.

I find all this last minute pleading cynical and manipulative by the rebels.

Where are the Saudis in all of this? Why don't they step up to the plate and take all these civilians into their embrace?


Another racist comment from Minshall. You are always free to leave. But as you know and as I know, you need the white devils more than they need you.


While I am sorry for his family's loss we should keep in perspective the fact that many thought he was a communist mouthpieces as per this GM article https://beta.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/chinese-communist-mouthpiece-the-peoples-daily-finds-an-outlet-in-canada/article31396875/?ref=http://www.theglobeandmail.com&

Mr Chan famously defended China's civil rights record which is unbelievable in most peoples eyes.

I would take Trudeau's condolences with a grain of salt because he is playing it up for the communist Chinese government.


Draft dodger bone spurs ready for VD duty!


This is happening everywhere in rural counties as the young whites move to the city, where they drive up prices, and the rural areas, more affordable just not hip enough for the Millennials attract new people.  Where minorities used to flock to the cities for jobs and the whites flocked to the suburbs the trend has reversed.


Perhaps the problem is not the stock, but the weapon it is attached to. You going hunting with that AK or AR?


Thank you Heather,

I was convinced that once the Post Office wrenched the mailbox out of the Edgewood Shopping Center parking lot, it was a done deal.  I have used that box and I have seen many others use it all year long, for years.  I appreciate your and others' efforts to resurrect this convenience. You have proven that at least at this level, you can fight "city hall".


Not only are you null, but also void.


>The bishops hold the most responsibility still.<

Not when the timeline of events before the bishop knew is factored in.

"Day one" refers to the spring of 11', when I was obeying God's call to be Catholic, when info and knowledge on this subject that I was not looking for came to me, when I used to post here and on FB under my own name, when I asked questions, when I raised biblically based objections and concerns over the rhetoric commonly used by victim's "advocates", when those victim's "advocates" mocked, and ridiculed me and even threatened me with physical violence for even daring to question the veracity of -any- allegation. Biblical and civil statutes require allegations to be tested, not given carte blanche as most here do.


This is good to both US and China, Asia, and the rest of the world.


It's not just Trump; it's the full complement of Senate and House Republicans who support this cruel and murderous approach to health care. They are not listening to any of their local feedback at open houses, none of their clergy of nearly all faiths, any suggestions of bi-partisan solutions. Their stubbornness and failure is a moral tragedy.


Just to be clear....

"We can all agree the rhetoric is over the top."  Okay - now.  Tell me how helpful it is to refer to people as "ignoramuses"?  and excusing bad behavior and hurting and killing people because of disagreement with ideology.

And I suspect it is not only the Republicans that could "use a little more introspection to figure out what they are doing to create the volatile situation which gives rise to these incidents."


The telling thing in all of this, and has been apparent with Trudeau for a long time. You must divide what he says and what he does, there is absolutely no correlation. Much like Obama, pretty words gloss over the impossible and flatter the media. Much like when Obama finished up his tenure, I'll bet my house we'llbe  left asking, what did he actually accomplish?


I really feel like I am in an alternate reality.  I read national news and shake my head and wonder how did it happen. I then read the mostly solid reporting in civil beat about CCH, Police, Rail, etc. and again shake my head. WTF people.  I feel like I am part a very large group of folks, even some in power as well as ordinary citizens, that are standing around and shouting this is outrageous - yet we just wind up milling about in circles being ignored. It is not effective at all, yet it seems all that we can do - cry foul.  And then each day the folks that really do have the baton at the moment do more and more outrageous s#*^, such that the stuff we were shouting about yesterday seems small.  It is truly amazing.  Wish I felt less helpless about all of this.


Alaska's Fiscal Crisis will be staunchly maintained by the same Republican coterie that deliberately engineered it. Some realists saw it coming as the catastrophic economic policy it turned out to be -- violating all the commonsense rules of financial risk management, and ethical economic policy.

How else could revenues sufficient to fund civil society be expected to continue from a single source which is nonrenewable, unsustainable, and responsible for triggering the climate tipping point of return?


Because Christians don't strap bombs to kids and women and blow themselves up.  Look at all the mass killings and the one thing in common...Muslims.


The next government is going to have a real mess to clear up. And probably take the blame for making the cuts that are going to me necessary.


A distributed and unpredictable threat like this cannot be handled by "confronting enemies". Who are  those enemies? Most of these attacks now are committed by fellow nationals.


To the moderator(s):

Scrolling down you will find a troll, "Hottubjoe," who has posted an uncivil comment which has nothing to do with North Korea and the issues involving it.

This post is simply a vicious personal attack.

How can it possibly meet your "civility standards?"

Thank you for your consideration.


Democrats had sufficient majorities in both the House and the Senate to pass whatever spending they wanted.   They increased permanent spending by 20% over the last year of Bush and added the $850K "stimulus".
You're dead wrong.


The young man with the "drama degree" (he actually has two university degrees, one from UBC and one from McGill, neither are a "drama degree") whipped your boy with ease.


Love those quotes!  :)


An irony is that Big Oil saved whales from becoming extinct.

Whales were hunted to provide the world with lubricants and as a fuel source for lighting.

Big Oil in the US got its start producing kerosene for lighting. It was a bit later that crude became a basis for transportation fuel.

The oil from the Sperm Whale continued to be an additive used in premium heavy lube oils up until the 1970s, until better additives were developed.


You're most welcome.

You may also see numbers here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Syrian_Civil_War

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American-led_intervention_in_Syria

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_military_intervention_in_Syria

You state: "the final number casualties aren't the point". Oh?

You state: "the tactics are what matters". Oh?

You state: "it's clear that US/Iraqi forces are no less destructive of civilians and their property than were the Russians and Syrians". Then, it's also clear that Russian/Syrian forces are no less destructive of civilians and their property than were the Americans and Iraqis.

So, we agree, then?

Everyone is swimming in blood, none are innocent, none are more or less guilty, everyone has failed, and no one--no one at all--will ever be brought to justice for their war crimes.

What a delightful war. Everyone blames everyone else with perfect justification, nothing changes, and no one ever goes to jail.

Not even Assad.


So, replacing him with someone worse is somehow better?


Why does the Globe continue to place Kelly Leitch's ill-informed comments at the end of this story? It serves no purpose other than to mislead readers about the issues surrounding of marijuana legalization.


Hedzer: Here is but one example of what lesny4 is talking about when he says Christianity takes a different form in the United States.

All the more reason to own a gun. But while you're ate that computer search, also check for violent crime because murder is not the only problem in this world. After violent crime look into how much time someone does after committing a gun crime and who was let off or out after committing a violent crime. James T. Hodgkinson shot House Rep. Steve Scalise had a long history of violence but a short history of incarceration.


The gas company shut the gas off the day before this happened. I guess they could have been using something like a propane camp stove. Just found it a weird statement since cooking was involved. In any case, what a horrible tragedy. I'm so sorry for the parents and everyone else impacted.


Richard, dead right.

Polls are disparaged by those for whom it is politically convenient to disparage polls.

But they are almost always very accurate.

And they were in this instance.


Interesting points, and I appreciate the stats on medical tourism in and out of the States.

I get the feeling we wouldn’t always have the same view on policy (and this is more than OK, I like respectful debate), but I tend to agree with the guaranteed income model.  It would greatly streamline the patchwork of available benefits to the poor, resulting in savings for the government, and guarantee a minimum standard of living which would be of benefit to all.

Not sure Canada is ready for such a model, but if we are going to have a social safety net, this sounds like the most efficient and effective approach.


[What does TSA do now (in the last 6 months) that they haven't been doing to every American in the last 16 years]
Just conveniently ignore the word "you" whenever it suits you, huh?  Or wait, I guess you would read that as whenever it suits "every American" rather than you personally.  That bit about "to you" doesn't actually mean "to you."
Yeah, no.  I might have gone along with something like "I wrote that badly and actually mean..."  But you are trying to affirmatively remove the "to you" part and revise the question.  I cannot tell if you are naturally stupid enough to believe that is going to fly or just acting like it but regardless of your purpose it is clear you are going to revise, ignore,  amend, etc. to make the facts fit your conclusion rather than the more intellectually honest fitting the narrative to the facts.
Chalk it up to morbid curiosity but where you do even get this "six month" standard from?  Erecting a straw man argument?  Flying's been getting worse for years.


Can one of the lawyers please advise if there is any precedent for this - the NPA going to court to try to PREVENT a prosecution.

If a defence lawyer petitioned the court to have his client prosecuted, he would surely face disbarment?


Westsiders need their car for construction work and have kids. Only the new development right on the line will have convenience. All others will get the shaft because new massive development also brings cars.  Since you asked, If I wanted something that bad that the mainland has I would go live there.  The mainland mentality is killing off the aloha spirit and destroying the aina one day at a time.


As Iggy would say " a smart woman when necessary but not necessarily a smart woman."


This is just pure baseless speculation to create a panic in order to boost oil price. Saudi Arabia is no longer in control.


Very deserving winner - congratulations Penny. Also very encouraged to see so many top athletes, each having an impact on their chosen sport.


He freakin' helped write it!!


It seems you are trying to deflect from the nature of his statement. He was unhappy because a Japanese driver won on Memorial day. How is that not a comment anchored in ethnic bias? Any less bigoted if it is ethnicity based as opposed to race? As others have pointed out, it is a distinction without a difference.

We fought 2 wars with England and one with Italy. Think Terry would have made the same comment had one of those nationalities won? It WAS 75 years ago. Perhaps time to build a bridge and get over it.


I do find it funny when a Starbucks barista with a master's degree is looking down on a plumber or electrician with contempt, but it's there. In reality, many of the "uneducated" make a lot more money than many of the "educated." Education comes in all sorts of forms.


Ah, there's that quick wit.


This guy was a known radicalized Muslim. Why wouldn't The Globe include that fact in this story???
Same thing with the CBC.
Do they think we're too immature to handle the truth???
Do they think we won't find out??
Do they think the Muslims will complain??
I honestly can't figure it out.


@Angus S Miskers Get your facts right
Barack Obama: Added $7.917 trillion, a 68 percent increase from the $11.657 trillion debt at the end of George W. Bush’s last budget, FY 2009.
Ronald Reagan: Added $1.86 trillion, a 186 percent increase from the $998 billion debt at the end of Carter's last budget, FY 1981.


"His mission of peace - we want to carry that on to the next generation."

Verily! Indeed, for it has been written :

"The Spirit of John Lennon is on me because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor.  He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free"

Amen.


The theoretical insistence by the 'left' to push irrationally hard against whomever dissents against the execution of their social engineering agenda, is precisely how I plan to become a refugee in the USA, even though I was born in Canada and have been here for about 2 generations... I will be facing political persecution for my beliefs...


Oh Lord....and I was 'worried' about McCain yesterday.
NANCY,  NANCY,  NANCY.....
WAKE UP.  WE NEED YOUR LEADERSHIP NOW.  DON'T LET US DOWN.


In other words, the people causing division in the Church are those who disagree with Tridentinus.


Okay, switching from federal to local taxation? I live not far from Franklin and see crowds of students and others taking the EMX everyday. As far as W. Eugene segment: it allows folks w/out cars and who don't wish to cycle in the rain access to many commercial establishments. Perhaps this will impact cabs: I've seen poor-ish looking folks getting into them outside of stores with their purchases. Now, how do you stand on building road-after-road for congestion? Or do we just ignore it? You know, like the health care emergency someone named Obama finally did something about?


Oh just to watch the proceedings. A freak show of note!


And you seriously believe the Liberals will with McWynnety?


The labor force participation rate only includes working-age individuals, and it is at a record low. You are either ignorant or dishonest. The fact is that as a percentage of eligible workers, less working-age people are participating in the labor force under Obama. The number is roughly 62% which proves the 5% unemployment figure to be a misleading indicator of real employment.

And you did refer to the unemployment rate as justification, so my comment was entirely relevant.

If your leftist agenda is so fantastic, why do you have to lie to make it sound good?


People are just nasty pigs. Too freaking lazy to pick up the crap they carry in.


ah, but how does one really know why they refused service, all you really know is that they have refused service. they are not obligated to provide you a reason. do you honestly believe that employers don't discriminate in one fashion or another in employment practices? how often does an employer provide you an excuse as to why you were not hired? its always a neutral term like "you were not selected" or something to that effect. if this business begins refusing people regularly, then the word gets out and people stop going, they lose business and may not be able to recover from that loss. in simple terms, people will do what they want, when they want, and how they want. when this happens they must also be responsible for those actions/choices, the problem will still remain that it will be on you to prove one way or another for it to holdup in court.


Check out the video online It's the most wonderful time in eight years .  It's sure to brighten everyone's Christmas . After this election everyone could use a little cheer.


The two-and-a-third cords of dry wood burned to make each barrel of maple syrup from 2% sap release 10,000 lb of CO2 per bbl of maple syrup.

To produce one barrel of oil sands crude from well-to-tank releases only about 330 lb of CO2 per barrel.

So much for the green economy!


Wow.


$40 million a month in gasoline taxes doesn't go as far as it used to.

"In Minnesota deposition, archbishop said he was uncertain that if in the past he was aware a priest abusing a child constituted a crime."
What you listed here was after that.  What difference would it make now but it remains AB. Carlson

No, it is the right move. The pressure has to come the rest Europe. Not Canada.


Whoever wrote this obituary did an excellent job.  I am truly sorry to hear of this great loss.  ALL of my girlfriends (including me) were secretly in love with Tom,  after all, he was BABE-A-licious.....SO handsome, charming, friendly, and kind.  Who couldn't love him ?


Child abuse and neglect is a very secret world. From time to time I have encountered abuse in action while grocery shopping - some adult screaming at a child or yanking them around. The adults get plenty pssed when I speak up.
I seriously doubt - and it saddens me - that an abusive parent's behavior will be corrected by gifts of clothes or a ride to somewhere. Parents don't admit to abuse, neither do their children. It's usually a learned behavior, passed down from generation to generation.
I wish that all schools would have age-appropriate classes on abuse.


I guess once you get past 80 years on this earth you begin to realize you have little time left for BS and just call them like you see them. Her position as a Supreme Court justice doesn't exclude her from the right to have an opinion, legal or otherwise, though I can appreciate the inappropriateness of her comments. If we are using Trump as the bar, I say she gets a pass.


A voice of reason and rationality. Thanks, Dieter! Mixed use development has been the norm this past decade and it's pace will only increase.  While I mourn the loss of the mom & pop character of the past around Cherry Creek, every big city's "Cherry Creek" area is going through the same thing.  Change is inevitable, even though Cherry Creek itself is a giant clusterf of cranes, gridlock and confusion right now.

Can you say that again?  It's difficult to make out through your tears.


"The PFD is an ESSENTIAL support for the rural subsistence lifestyle?"  How was a subsistence life style carried out oh let's say 50 years ago (pre-dividend)?  I'm sure it didn't involve new "snowgos", rifles, boats, etc.  The PFD is just one of the many financial program's that has helped support the unsustainable "subsistence lifestyle"


“As people of common inheritance we do well to honor the natural openness of biology in testing genetic stability/ sustainability, as well as remaining open to natural surprises. Potentials of human sexuality remain open”

No we don’t. That was the purpose of Adolf Hitler and the so-called German super race. People are not lab rats. You’ve utilized a dehumanizing process, which most interestingly, dehumanizes. There is no greater potential to the human spirit by examining them as cesspool of DNA. Pretty sad, if you really think about it.


And, RD implies that the Magisterium MUST be under clerical control, as per canon law, at all times and in all ways!  This is precisely why We the People of God are now having to deal with the clerical sex abuse scandals!  And all the fallout, like Marie Collins' resignation (and more) from the papal abuse commission.


Than logically speaking the first ones you should pick on are the aggressors and the ones having USA support behind that allows them to carry out their nefarious deeds.  Meaning start with the bully and work from there....In this case...Iran comes a distant third.


Trump is proving to be such a terrible candidate that cannibalism is starting among conservative ranks. Pretty ugly. The future survival of the Republican Party maybe at stake. I think their increasingly angry anti-science, anti-globalism,  anti-government, anti-elitist, anti-nearly everything is catching up. What is the current GOP for, other than lots of anger and mostly meaningless rants and slogans? What meaningful positive solutions to America's problems are being offered? Like it or not the world is changing. The real battle this election cycle may not be between the two dominant Parties, but the battle for the heart, soul and future of the Republican Party.


I am glad you take note from me, I say the truth and expect the same from others, I am usually disappointed in others, your words, Trump led chants, proven to be a lie, but with your track record you will now squirm and say you and you alone know what, despite a lack of proof, what Trump did to lead the chant. The amount of deceit some use to try and make a case for what their narrow vision requires is sad, very sad Eric. You also have a nice day, it gets better when you don't need to find all kinds of things and people to be hateful of.


What?

What difference will 120 or 220 VAC make?


The same polls that showed Hillary with over 300 electoral votes are what you are relying on for Obama's popularity.  One of the main reasons Hillary lost was her embrace of the status quo.  No, consistent with the other polls, Obama is not as popular as the biased polls suggest.  You need another narrative after so much was disproved on November 8.


Don’t tell me what I know. And don’t assume I’m all for Trumpcare or Ryancare or whatever is being baked.

Then again, we won’t know what’s in it until we pass it, am I right?


Park benches are still open.  The really Liberal ones have envelope holders.


No, AnnieO, I think they're meant to DRINK the stout. . . hence, the do-si-do. . . pay attention, Heartbreaker!
