How has it affected me? It gives me hope that the cultural Marxists will not wipe out western society and culture by inundating it with 3rd world bronze age people who want to spread sharia law. We could have made secure refugee camps for these people but instead we are going to turn Canada Islamic, Bill 59 in Quebec is just a start, wait till he brings them here in the 100's of thousands, I love my country but I won't allow myself to be ruled by Islam.


The best  universal healthcare systems in the world all follow a public-private two tier model. Germany, France, Denmark, The Netherlands Switzerland etc have proven this model to be the gold standard.

Guaranteed healthcare for all, For those who want to  pay for service they can get out of the wait line and free up a space for someone who can not afford pay.

Successive governments have long known this, however they do not have the stomach to put it into law for fear of losing the massive  Canadian  Public Service vote base.


Oh, we are taking responsibility if you haven't noticed while you male children are kicking and screaming the entire way..


NOTE: this article is from the same DENISE BALKISSOON who was all too quick to join the mob decrying "cultural appropriation", so consider, for a moment, what "culture" came up with vaccines in the first place... Consider whether OTHER cultures should be allowed to "appropriate" vaccines for their own use.... Consider, what if a "marginalized culture" invented vaccines: would Balkissoon then forbid the "dominant, oppressor culture" to use them? Or does her cultural apartheid logic lack intellectual consistency?

It's always a good idea for readers to think all the way through these issues, from every angle, because lightweight opinion columnists can only ever be counted on to provide the most superficial of "hot takes".

Wait a week, get another contradiction...


Has it occurred to anyone that every nation has its CIA equivalent, and is thus engaged in precisely the same investigations of hacking devices and targets?  Yet Wikileaks targets only the US, making no attempt to uncover or publicise the Chinese, Russian, German, Israeli, UK...etc. equivalents.  I'm not keen on conspiracy theories, nor do I hold any special regard for American virtues, but I figure there's a lot more to this story than meets the eye.


Let's not pretend that having to stand in line to vote is the best way to encourage voting. Many are denied this right due to an expectation or financial need to work that day, or the lines are so long as to discourage voting. Finally, polling places allow a convenient spot for opposing forces to intimidate or protest.

Or we could, say, vote by mail but require a paper trail, like we already do. Nah - makes too much sense!


The trolls have not taken long to start spewing their bile over this tragedy.


Excellent article, thank you.

Multitudes of us are fed up and disgusted with the sheer volume of people coming from Muslim countries, who expect Canadians to accept their culture, who look to incorporate their laws into Canada and into our schools.

They may have knowledge of how to do jobs, but they don't have any connection with how Canada's people are socially. So, they remain separated, locked into their own societies, teaching their children their way of life and thinking that they have brought from their mother country.

The Canadian government promotes this, this is 'multiculturalism', but we, the people, are fed up and disgusted.


Great coach, great person, great family. Thank you for everything. Best of luck!


Is this to protect us from the Christians?


THERE IS NO SUCH A THING CALLED ARMENIAN GENOCIDE. ARMENIANS REBELLED AGAINST THE OTTOMAN ARMY AND MANY OF THEM GOT NEUTRALIZED. END OF STORY. YOU ARE A FUCKING MORON, NOT SURE HOW YOUR LITTLE BRAIN WILL CAPTURE THE TRUTH BUT WHATEVER, GOOD LUCK. BYE.


I'm not speaking to the current crop of ineffective legislators, Shawn. I'm simply saying that this crime is not due to conservatives. I agree that there has been a distinct lack of action/leadership in Juneau, but not even a strong group of politicians can fix a problem like this. That's what the courts are for, and they have obviously failed all of us when a felon is nailed 4 times for probation/parole violations yet is still on the street. We don't need more laws, we need more effective enforcement.


And your proof for such assertions is.........?


Martin's omissions put him well outside the Catholic tradition.  What is not said is as important as what is.


I like the fireworks.  Thank you City Council for not giving in on this one.


Hmmmmm I saw the word gala I saw who I expected to see but NO ONE  who  SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE..... OUR HOUSELESS!!!!! WHY & HOW do these people think they know whats best when they no ask or INVOLVE THE HOUSELESS?!


the reason why there are a lot of people over fifty is because they are veterans of past wars who fought  for this country to keep socialism/communism out of America including the democrat machine which is a socialist/communist regime that's what there protesting against and why they back trump up.


But you were ready to rally behind HRC? If you despise them both equally, great. If you think Hillary is any ess of a liar, then you are just another partisan hypocrite.


Unfortunately, you're losing the PR battle with aggressive tax planners and their misinformation campaign, but I wish you well.


Alaska must begin the process of freeing itself from being the colony of the oil industry. Until it does, the decisions that will rule our lives will be made in corporate boardrooms and not by us.


They look exactly alike. Probably got the same daddy!


So you suggest all the people who died , got crushed and injured all spontaneously committed mass suicide by attacking him as he drove his vehicle in a safe and conscientious manner. Yes that makes sense. It certainly explains Bataclan and Orlando then doesn't it.


Maybe signs - "No blacks allowed", "We dont serve Indians". Oregon's alt left has ridden a time machine back to the 1940's and adopted that era's philosophy wholesale - socialism and the KKK.


No he raised taxes on people making over $200,000. He lowered taxes for those under that amount by a small amount. Even that they screwed up. It was supposed to be revenue neutral but the government managed to lose $1 billion because Canada's rich aren't that rich. A lot of those people are professional like doctors. BTW how are Canadian industry going to attract to talent?
He also promised to tax stock options until the tech industry screamed.
He is increasing debt in a time when interest rates are climbing. He is making the bankers happy as they are making a ton of money on issuing government debt.
He wants an infrastructure bank that means that when middle class Canadians go to an airport, drive on a road , cross a bridge etc. they will be paying and paying.


Ho Hum !!  Sounds like the plague is upon Mr. Perry.


As long as it is labeled "sponsored content" I don't mind. Newspapers can't produce content for free, and the business models are changing. But you are spot on about real estate agents!


http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08h4y03

Watched an interesting documentary on BBC recently,  profiling the town of Slough, which has experienced a large influx of migrants.

One of the takeaways from the program was the number of second generation  immigrants (of whom there are many) who settled years ago, who are upset over the recent influx of new immigration to the area, and want to see this inflow reduced.

Of course housing shortages, especially affordable, is one of the issues, but there are others.

This is an area that voted yes to Brexit.

The program is only a half hour - very well worth the watch - as it offers a bit of a counter balance to much of the media here.


I live in BC.  Please provide some details on the iceberg??? Mr Mason's story is exactly that "musings".  He is the resident socialist at G&M.  They should move him from the ROB section though.  All your personal vitriol toward Ms Clark aside let look at the numbers.  This province has the highest GDP growth in Canada.  It has the lowest unemployment and i believe most BC'ers understand that BC and for that matter Canada alone can not stop global warming.


Do everything in your power to vote these criminals out of power...simple!


Before looking at ways to increase education funding--and Rosenlee deserves credit for being innovative--perhaps the legislature should examine where all the money for education actually goes.


How about "we will read it after it passes".  No comparison when you add this in.


Does this mean that anyone who has EVER served in the military can have free legal help and decide to ask for Veterans Court instead of the local judicial system?  Track had a restraining order filed against him so he couldn't see his girl friend, but he ignored it.  Does this mean he the Alaskan legal system cannot charge him for anything ever again and everything will go through the Veterans Court?  Is he allowed to carry firearms/weapons since all domestic violence charges were dropped?


You must not have any idea what the ADA is. You really should read up on it. And try to be more respectful to our men and women in uniform you ungrateful leech.


Actually, you don't know squat.  You prove it regularly.
The helicopter might have been there for surveillance, but how did "one of my buddies" help "end the lives of two cops"?
You'll stop at nothing.


Hey Paul,  how's the book sales going?  The book you wrote titled "End this depression now".  It's about how all of the spending by Obama has failed to revive the economy.


Gene will be missed but so many of us carry her in our hearts that she will never be forgotten.


Alaska doesn't have casinos because we don't have the population to support the industry. And you'd only be robbing Peter to pay Paul since legalized gambling would mean the end of charitable game across the state. And I don't think folks are going to fly to Alaska just to gamble like they might do in Nevada.


The hospitals are non-profit. If they spend the money they make  building new buildings then they remain non-profit AND can keep really high prices for medical services. That is why you are building so much…..


Hard to justify putting more police manpower on prostitutes as the city is full of them.  Most are neevr noticed.  But yes, pimps moving in from LA are all over.


Hillary needs to be impeached for collusion with the Russians!!! LOL. What an absolute JOKE the Fascist Left is.


Did Paul Manafort and business associate Rick Gates work for Trump when these alleged crimes took place? I don't think so? Do the charges reflect this?


Maybe the Health ministers should meet and show the same urgency in reducing wait times in the health system


Continued- At least PM Harper had a plan to resettle refugees in an orderly fashion.  He also had a plan to help those still trapped in refugee camps.  Something Trudeau hasn't even mentioned.
Don't hold your breath on any infra-structure projects, Trudeau has already squandered the budget.  Natives better not be counting on anything either.  They are actually far worse off as it is open season again on reserves for fraud from their leaders.
One can only hope that Canadians will come to realize the disaster they have perpetrated upon themselves by the next election.


Four stages of Republican denial...


This shooting was racially based.
It is a hate crime.


Perhaps you should read the numerous Pentagon reports that failed to find a single soldier's death that was directly attributable to Bergdahl's rescue operation. But I guess you think with your feelings rather than with information so it's not going to matter anyway.


Yeah, the fish I caught in the harbor was full of corn......and small pieces of bell pepper. Gave the fish a garden taste.......


Which Party was in power when the FLQ, PQ, became prominent, the War Measures Act was declared, and two sovereignty referendums took place.  Which Party created the long term conditions for Quebec wanting to leave the Confederation?

Which Party was in power when the nation within a nation concept was employed successfully while Quebec held no sway in federal governance, a time when there was no Quebec alienation towards federal governance?

Your comment reflects Liberal Party propaganda revisionism and profound ignorance in depth and grasp.


Great our tax dollars hard it work paying for this criminal.


A cesspool of note


If Sessions could recuse himself from the phony Russian Election investigation because he met with the Russian Ambassador, Mueller should recuse himself due to his close friendship with Comey.  If Mueller does not recuse himself it shows that his ethics are not as great as advertised and he is just another political hack from the swamp.   He will try to keep dragging the phony invesatigation out to keep the President from meeting his commitments he made to the US Citizens.


So remind me again how someone crossing a street after looking both ways still gets hit by a car?


Yasiel Puig is the next Gene Simmons. His tongue just can't seem to stay in his mouth, and if the Dodgers lose this series, will be the poster boy for how not to behave on or off the field. Vulgar behaviour to say the least. I'm surprised Dodger management puts up with it.


Time for the microchip in the neck, like the sled dogs have.


This always makes me LOL. Repubs have been gunning for Hillary for thirty years. They have nothing but old news that has been debunked over and over again. Even Hillary was yawning in the Benghazi hearings. Borrrrriiiinnngggg.


I loves my gun, I loves my gun, I loves my gun more than I loves my Son! My Son is a "Son of a Gun" and now he's pushing up Daisies! Fear is a terrible thing. It must be awful living life thinking everyone is trying to harm you.

This comment was sponsored by "Smith and Wesson Gun Sales of Denver Colorado."


Wrong again.  The point was if you only apply your "taint" to those with whom you disagree, then criminal background wasn't relevant to same--only your "political" agreement or lack thereof.  You first denied "interest" in applying your "taint" criterion to Frumpy the KKKlown, then changed your position when I called you on it.  Therein lies your concession.

Alas, we have arrived at the inevitable point in our exchange where I must heed the wisdom of the first Holy Imam 'Ali ibn Abu Talib (alayhimus-Salaam): When I debate a reasonable man, I win.  When I debate a fool, I lose."

My turn to concede.  I've lost this debate.  Savor your "victory", such as it is...


Yes...because guys carrying chainsaws, wearing bright orange vests / neon hard hats and driving a GIANT CHUGACH ELECTRIC truck are hard to spot.


Seriously!?!? If someone falls asleep, or is too inebriated, or passed out, they can't agree or say no to sex. If someone has sex with the person who is asleep, too inebriated or passed out, they are a RAPIST. I don't care if you are more violent. RAPE IS RAPE. You may have urges, CONTAIN THEM. I am so disgusted by this coming from an attorney! Perhaps the Bar Association should look into his ability to practice law.


Keep it up, Wahine!! Win out and keep fingers crossed.


My behavior is never as nasty, threatening, bullying or harrassment as yours.

I told you time and time again, if you continued your bullying, I would contact CC...and I did, merely asking if such behavior was considered "civil," and included a choice few of your many sad remarks.  They took it from there, as you know.

I have no idea what happened to Marty...Perhaps he tired of the childish antics so many indulge in here?  Or the gang mentality?

I don't know what your problem is with my career...You don't seem to have issue with anyone else who has posted personal info.  Your constant referrals make it appear jealousy drives you.  I don't know - but all in all, as I have asked you countless times - leave me alone.


And Ohio state proved that one has a difficult time killing with a knife since he failed to kill anyone with his car or knife but was shot to death by officers.

A gun is a killing tool.  It's effective and almost never fails.  Trying to use Ohio state you only proved how effective a gun is by comparison to other measures which ultimately failed. But this guys gun succeeded in taking out his family when he pulled the trigger.


Mr Quilter is tighter than the skin on a hot dog.


Sharon, the only narrow minded group that I see are you and that wing nut John Norby. Is he letting you try on his tin foil hat? You assume that you know the political affiliation of the council members but you really have no clue.  All of those running for election are qualified and have our cities best interest in mind but I will vote against anyone that you endorse.


The only reason I'd venture downtown is if L2G invited me to Voodoo donuts, as she did someone else recently. Other than that, I avoid, avoid, avoid. I think downtown is filthy, unwelcoming, depressing.

I was prescribed Tramadol over 30 years ago as a last resort for pain resulting for a cervical spine strain.  It did nothing for pain and  made me feel nauseous.  Ended up in physiotherapy and my pain eventually resolved.  From experience I believe this particular pharmaceutical has low addictive properties.  I've also been prescribed codeine-based pharmaceuticals as well as oxy-pharmaceuticals for post-op and acute pain and, in addition to pain relief,  experienced a mild feeling of euphoria.  So I can understand why opioid based pharmaceuticals are  addictive and why it's important to follow the physician's instructions in terms of transitioning to anti-inflammatories, aspirin or low-dose codeine for pain management ASAP.


But if you say hip hip hooray for multiculturalism at all cost you will get an extra star!


Opus Dei. Paid troll from what he once told me. Why would he have his own blog when he takes work time to fill this one up? On the run, but glad to catch up more later.


Dr. Klein if your opinion on the subject does not count nobody's does. But after many years of reading public opinions here and seeing many suggest the composition of the Board of Game is backward it only seems to get worst over time. If you want world class fish and wildlife management you select the best trained biologists and wildlife managers for your Board. Allowing it to be composed of fishermen, hunting guides and trappers does not interject science into the decision making process only money which is not known to be a positive factor in fish and wildlife population health. It boggles the mind really...

Unless we are willing to assign a full time social worker to each and every native on a reserve, there is little that can be done.. Solve this issue, and the next one will pop up in these dysfunctional extended family units masquerading as "societies" or "nations"

End the reserve system.

Now.


Cotton and Perdue are great! The RAISE Act is a must do!  The best DACA deal is one that includes full deportation though


Anyone can apply. The U.S. admits ~one million legal immigrants this year. You seem to consider these folks either too lazy or two stupid to be able to follow the rules.


"you don’t make sense. please do not reply to my comments. it is nonsensical to argue with nonsensical people"  Rick Tubania

If you don't people to challenge your comments, you shouldn't post them on a public access message board.  My impression from your comments on this story is that you are not capable of defending your position and would rather resort to insults.

Would you care to return the discussion that the mall train is better for struggling families than a robust island wide bus system or personal car and you claim that no one suffers financial hardship from the rail tax?  Or would you rather avoid the topic at hand and call me names?


Because the Department of the Interior isn't actively preventing roads to those communities.


I sure like what I see, and I hope it holds up when facing the tougher teams this year.  The Chargers have shown they stink, and the Cowboys might've just got exposed.

I doubt Belichick hates the Broncos; the guy seems all business.  Kraft might.  Brady probably does because he gets his fair share of soil samples when facing this defense.  I bet he's had nightmares about Miller.


It makes it hard to drain the swamp when the alligators are in charge of everything above the PLUG!


Luck came out of a Pro Style system in Stanford..common thread with the others was the gimmick spread offense in college.


The "truth" is the abuses were real and still being felt. Bringing up other things to somehow downplay that is racism Jack. Why do you want to try to minimize what these people went through? What does that serve?


But in the place where i live tropical sharks are showing up


We should've started with NOT electing a President that states "thinks like a typical white person".


Would've seemed like a good day for the schools to make up for weather closures earlier this year.  They (primarily Springfield) were pleading poverty about having to stay in session the required days.  Having school today during the regularly scheduled school year should not have cost any extra.
Roseburg schools chose to have school today as a make-up day.  Perhaps the Springfield Admin bunch should give them a call.  (Or probably not, they already had vacation plans for this weekend I suppose.)


Again, I don't think you can assess any of those issues for someone else, let alone a poster on a blog who might be talking about things that you don't understand. There are limits to all communication.

As to your assertions about whether or not there are fruits from the changes of V2, the evidence doesn't seem to reside on all one side. The ones who left were most impacted by being raised pre-V2, including many of the posters on here. I was raised in that time; however, like many others of those from the pre-days, I moved well into the post-days. I am not fallen away at all.

I agree with you that none of us should declare that we understand the workings of the Holy Spirit, one way or another.

As to your assertions that the few Catholics who 'go trad' are 'the many', that is not the case in the U.S. Not sure what country you are in, but the post-V2 Church has been a surprise to outsiders looking at the U.S. because of its health and liveliness.


#1 - Thanks, Vasya!

#2 - If you know about "top secret weapons...that make nuclear bombs look like tinker toys", they're not so top secret, are they?


How did these morons take over my party?


We're taught that our own personal mortification shouldn't become someone else's.  No collective acts and certainly not ones that come from publicized Francis-events, e.g., his 3rd annual pre-Christmas flagellations.

Ever notice he rarely includes himself in any of his cleric rants?

Would that some of the comments here were a bit more tempered, self-denying, mortified.

By the way a fast is a form of mortification.


Thata boy Trump, show just how stupid you are and scream just how guilty you and your gang  are of treason.


Just keep feeding yourself the false narrative... No one else is paying attention!


And that is exactly who this mutt was who shot these Republicans. He campaigned for Bernie Sanders. Sad.


x100,000 Rodney.


Monsef couldn't manage her way through a cow-catcher.  Useless.  Should have been deported.


It is fitting, along with so many things happening in our community, that the resolution of this beautiful art be left to attorneys to decide, and a public hearing where we can voice our concerns will have zero impact on any decision that will no longer be made.

One day, sometime in the future, people will read in books about a place called Issaquah - because, like this art, that will be the only place you will know about it.


"..this is no longer a civil discussion."
Yea, it is 'a civil discussion' to say 'I don't blame Pope Francis', right!
I recommend YOU "Have a heart to heart talk with your spiritual advisor."
Just remember these clergy sex abused children go through 'HELL' in their lives before you speak so heartless defending the very culprit of this clergy sex abuses of children fiasco!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Chin is a hypocrite! He failed to block the Jones Act! Thousands of ships from various foreign countries are BANNED from docking in Hawaii! If Chin was true to his word he would not prevent foreign ships from docking and transporting goods to and from Hawaii! Chin, should sue and block the "Jones Act" as it prevents our friendly and peaceful Somali allied ships from docking in our ports!


The previous government spent all tax revenue collected for the benefit of the people of Alberta. As it should be. And the province was debt free.

Oil revenue has declined and Comrade Notley has been digging a ten billion dollar hole every year since accidentally stumbling into power.

See the difference?

Oh.....and no pipelines either.


The status quo has resulted in nations piling up more and more debt and economies that do not distribute wealth evenly amongst their citizens.   I don't know if pulling out of free trade agreements and renegotiating will be good or bad for the US or Canada.  I don't think anyone really does (the so called 'experts' seem to get a lot of things wrong these days).  However, something has to be done.  It's going to be an interesting four, maybe eight years.


Outsider 77: We know little, actually closer to nothing, about the circumstances of this case. We don't know if the alleged sexual contact was consensual or not.  We don't know the age of the young girl.  We don't know if this was a case of "adolescent sexual curiousity" as you suggest, or a case of a young man using power over a young girl.

We do know that the investigation by the police was sufficient for the DA's office to file first degree sexual abuse charges.....a Measure 11 charge.  We also know the DA has chosen to prosecute Mr. Gouldner as an adult, an option, but not a necessity when dealing with a youth of 15.

Your post seems to trivialize the alleged actions and castigate the authorities who reacted to it by determining it was an alleged crime worthy of prosecution.  IMO, your comments are founded on ignorance (lack of knowledge) regarding this particular case as well as an seeming lack of understanding of the seriousness of sexual assaultive behavior.

This whole debacle has been horrendous and terribly, terribly sad for Charlie and his parents, who are obviously shattered. My deepest respects to all.


Well, if you grow up in Guelph, you've got to have a sense of humour. ;)


Cayabird, I think you only care about this rape because it was committed by an illegal. Which is a shame. Most rapes are committed by people born in the US. Are you 30? Then  you know women who have been raped; maybe a man too. I know a number of women who have been raped. And a man. None of them were raped by an illegal.

It's a very common crime. There's someone being raped as you read this.

There is no "bias by omission." The rape you mention of a young woman in Maryland isn't "notable" enough to make most national news stories. There are hundreds, thousands of women (and men) raped each day in the US. The nat. news only picks up on those that have something that would take the story beyond the local level (a famous person involved, particularly gruesome, etc). If the news covered every violent crime in the US, there'd  be no room left for other news.


I used to track this and had some success buying when spreads got high. As most investors are aware, REITs (and other income generating securities) with growing distributions hold up better when interest rates rise than those with flat distributions.


Whizzed right past that pointy little head, didn't it?  I listed my reasons--one through eight--and didn't ONCE say anything about "hobbies".  And fisbilillah--for God's Sake--PLEASE don't reproduce.  Our species' average IQ will probably drop 10 points per live birth.


Wow ....that was helpful ...........


Hope he wears the fancy socks.


That's an untruth. Show us the text with context. By the way, dogs aren't humans.


It seems sad that so many people seem to hate or seriously dislike Hillary Clinton. The tag line "crooked" is greatly undeserved and she has been more than patient and civil with her detractors who come mostly from Fox News and rabid radical conservative talk radio. She deserves kudos for not responding in kind, patiently long-suffering through some of the most salacious, malicious, false and fabricated calumny campaign language and accusations, ever.  The racial anti Obama stirrings deep in the souls of GOP leadership were at the original root of all this. They cannot escape blame and should be made to suffer the losses of seats in congress as a result.


Reese makes sense as does Rohr:  MANY THANKS TO BOTH OF THEM,
"I am sorry, but I don't think I have ever done anything so bad that it requires me or anyone else to be crucified, let alone Jesus. While I might be grateful to Jesus for taking the blame for my sins, this theology turned God the Father into a legalistic ogre concerned about balancing the scales of justice, not mercy. The Father in this theology sounds nothing like the Father described by Jesus. Alas, some of the liturgical prayers still reflect this theology.

Today, I would rather see the death of Jesus a consequence of his commitment to the mission given to him by his Father, to preach the good news of God's love for us and our need to respond by loving one another, especially the poor. Jesus, like Oscar Romero, was killed because of what he preached, not because his Father had to be appeased. Jesus is in solidarity with all those who died for justice and human rights." Earlier piece


Makes no sense that the lowest level of the US judiciary has the power to overturn any order made by the head of the Executive Branch.  The US Supreme Court has original jurisdiction in certain cases - this situation should be one of those.


Whatthewhat,
You are claiming your statements to be absolute fact but there are scientists who claim there are no absolute facts re causes, only evidence that mankind is a contributor to a natural phenomenon. So, are you more knowledgeable or are they?


Check out the Libertarian candidates for a better choice than either Clinton or Trump.


In your simple little world it may only have one job.  In reality it is the swiss army knife of vehicles.


So Liberal.....and then these clowns refuse to listen to the outrage over taxing small business and Drs and Lawyers more..........zero empathy, zero regard.........and then they turn around and funnel that money into Khadr and baloney like this.    People should be in the street rioting already.


"…the President said in a weekend tweet that his putative Republican allies looked “like fools”"

Yup, as always Trump takes no responsibility for anything. The mark of a real fool.


Your inability or unwillingness to cease alleging that the vicissitudes of life, the hardships we all endure, are "punishments", and your demands that God and His Church cut the task down to a size which pleases you, seems to preclude any discussion.


The US exports 11% of GDP. That's a big enough chunk that loss of it, or any large portion of it would hurt, badly.


Don't look now but your bias is showing.  Noticed you left out Gardner, McConnell, Ryan, Cruz, Trump, and everyone else with an (R) after his name who is working to gut the Consumer Fraud Protection Bureau.


This is exactly the kind of innovative, service oriented private initiative that our public health system is designed to crush.  The only part of this that amazes me is that it still exists and hasn't been shut down for providing a medical service for cash.  How could they not address this in the article?


Down Oklahoma way we call it Endun Country. Like in: Cherky Enduns. But Civil Comments is having trouble with that. They want me to say: Indeeun; Cherohkee Indeeun. We don't say it thatta way. It's Cherky Endun.


FFS Marcus, won't we get enough of Ford Nation coverage during the campaign? Do you really have to start now? The media's desperate attempts for clicks helped elevate candidates like Trump and Ford. Stop with the free publicity.


Another crazy lefty like Antifa he wanted to go  after the white nationalist, country music fans. But the left does not want you to know. They want to make you think only the right wing are extremist and dangerous.

With Justin going all over the world with his virtue signalling that all refugees are welcome and 'diversity is our strength', the world has taken notice.  Today, it's a trickle.  It'll be a torrent with the warmer weather.  With Trump starting to kick out 13 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. plus all their refugees, guess where they're going to head? Hopefully the Conservatives and ordinary Canadians put enough pressure to  make Justin's handlers change their tune...

"On September27, 2017,  the White House and the congressional Republican leadership (the “Big Six”) released their“Unified  Framework  for  Fixing Our Broken Tax Code.”The framework  would collapse the seven individual income tax rates to three(12, 25, and 35percent), increase  the standard deduction, eliminate  personal exemptions, increase the child tax credit, eliminate  most itemized deductions, repeal the individual  and corporate alternative  minimum taxes, repeal the estate tax, reduce  the corporate  tax rate from 35 to 20 percent,tax pass-through business incomeat a top rateof  25 percent,  allow businesses to fully expense investment in equipment and machinery  for  at least five years, and adopt a territorial  tax  system that would  exempt the foreign earnings of US corporationsfrom US tax"

The report also says "80% of the total benefit would accrue to the top 1% whose after-tax income would increase 8.7%"


his point on mining is the copper wires for electric came from mining, the steel pipe came from mining etc. All the raw materials to makes such is mined.


Ironic don't you think that a half white / half black president only served to bring more separation. I never could figure out why he identified more as a black person............


The 80 page report on opioid use is biased and purposely ambiguous in its findings. It should be taken with a grain of salt and if the pain persists come back tomorrow.

That's words.  Much more interesting is the fact, not words, that the Obama Administration knew for sure about Russian meddling in July of 2016 and did absolutely nothing about it. Now there is Red Flags.

No wonder the liberals are in panic mode. Comey is free to talk now. More to come I am sure!


Approx. 29% of registered voters in Eugene voted for Lucy Vinis for Mayor.  All that means, technically, is that her name is the only one that will appear on the November ballot, when a record voter turn-out is likely to appear.  Is it reasonable to imagine there might be a "write-in" candidate for Mayor who would fair well?  Obviously, I am not talking about myself.  But I know at least one individual out there I would support 100% were he/she to agree to a write-in campaign.  How about you?  Can you imagine anyone?


Trudeau should submit his own DNA  to compare with Castro, because it's evident old Fidel was the surrogate. PET was 5'8". Little potato is 6'3", same as Castro, their facial structure is almost exact match. I think old PET was sterile and got Old Fidel to pinch hit.
Just saying !!!


REAL Catholics? We are all different. Are you the Catholic police?


Do your research. Prices are not always cheaper on many items. Walmart only gets you to believe they are with their marketing. Target and King Soopers are cheaper on many items. Some items several dollars cheaper for instance trash bags.


Thanks for that interesting information. One can see the wisdom of such a constitutional provision when the country was a young democracy. Should a territory in the 'Wild West' do something outrageous, the federal government could restore normalcy. As you'd expect, as Canada matured as a nation the provision was used less and less frequently.

Imagining a circumstance today which might invoke that constitutional veto isn't easy. It would have to be something extreme, something that necessitated an immediate federal intervention lest grave human rights abuses were committed by a province. Quebec's anti-veil law is stupid,  bigoted, and an ugly stain on our country. But it's also petty. It doesn't rise to the level of a serious human rights violation. There are other ways to deal with it, and I have no doubt those ways will be put to good use.


Paranoia strikes deep.


is that the same kind of law that is broken when theres a sanctuary  city who refuse to obey all laws or is there another


This makes sense. There are homes that sit empty or partly built for very long periods all over the city.


I'd say it's because there's a lot of islamophobia around, Layla4.  Right here on Globe comments, for instance.

My only 'bias' is in favor of truth and fairness.  I have little respect for N. Pelosi, and none for McConnell; I think Schumer is trying to do his job for the people.  I don't care whether Trump is a Republican or not, I care about his stated intention to dismantle our government.  His actions so far are in line with that intent.  I don't consider him 'evil incarnate'; neither do I trust him to care about our democracy.


The forensic audit is likely to uncover a lot of malfeasance, incompetence and outright fraud perpetuated by HART and the mayor on the Oahu tax payers.    More than likely some people are being paid off, which is why the legislature had power shifts after the GET extension wasn't granted.    This project reeks of fraud on the public.


I wasn't aware one was running. Is it one of the libertarians? Is there a black panther candidate running this year?


Ad absurdum much? 6 million Jews, not arguable. 6 billion sperm? very arguable.


Gary Crum, this is just a point of personal curiosity. Why do you mention your age in so some (many?) of your posts?


Protecting the environment should not be an R or a D issue. Embrace the uniqueness of this land and preserve for the future.


Unfortunately people in a 200-year old industry will be impacted in our changing energy world. Coal is losing out to cheaper energy sources such as renewables and natural gas.


My it is cold outside tonight. I can already feel the cooling effect of this decision.


No, the Dems are still stuck on " the Russians are coming", " the Russians are coming" .


Rather than spend $450,000 on more tax consultants, I think that Alaskans deserve to see the results of the Gaffney Cline report that we already paid for before the passage of SB21.

For some reason, the Conoco governor and legislature would not release this report as promised.

I can only imagine the reason is that it clearly showed that SB21 is a terrible tax policy resulting in the loss of billions for the state.

We need to sue the state for access to this information which will prove that they knew damn well what they were doing.

They knew they were looting the state.  They knew this would result in a huge deficit.

 Instead of choosing to work for Alaskans, they violated their oath of office, wrote a tax policy that gives our oil revenue away, and covered up the information.

This should be enough information for a criminal investigation.

We do not need more tax consultants.  We need the FBI.


OK  Anchorage you have a  democrate  for Mayor live with it


For the full fledged alcoholic.


So you want them to put it in garbage bags that they buy at the grocery store, jump in the car and take it to the dump.  I don't think they have regular garbage pickup by the City.


When Liberals can't get what they want through legislation, they turn to judges to legislate from the bench. Now when they don't like something from the public domain they're willing to throw away the Constitution and try to achieve it through regulation........ In 2012, liberals laughed and chastised Mitt Romney for saying Russia was the biggest threat to the world - now all of a sudden they agree?


It is long past time the Secret Service took action against these entertainer want=to-be.


In all likelihood, the timing of the Khadr settlement was driven by deadlines agreed upon long before anyone knew NAFTA was going to be renegotiated.
Even if that isn't the case and it could have dragged on longer, costing even more millions, it isn't the Liberals who have been ranting about it in the U.S. media.
It's Conservatives Rempel and Kent, cherry-picking the facts of the case, with the clear intent to create anti-Canada sentiment on the eve of the renegotiation. Americans and their media pay scant attention to Canada, but these two have done everything in their power to stir up animosity over this issue.
The Harper/Scheer/Kent/Rempel tag team was in power for most of the years since the firefight occurred, but only became so touchingly concerned about the widow Speers when they thought they could make political hay out of the issue.


Schlameel, Schlmogle, Hops & Tops Incorporated.  No matter.  The EPA has exceeded it legal bounds not just here but everywhere.  This man went into hiding and undercover agents finally found him.  That is a simple fact,

Dan Rather the guy who delivered FAKE NEWS ABOUT PRESIDENT GEORGE W BUSH.


Isn't he still a French citizen?


Afghanistan kind of remind me of the Vietnam War. Not only there is a lack of purpose but a lack of strategy. I suppose our initial goal was to create a pro-US Afghan government and military that can stand against the Taliban in the same way we tried to create a pro-US South Vietnamese government and military that can stand against the NVA. We failed in South Vietnam because we lacked the will to finished the job and left South Vietnam on a major lurch that led to their downfall in 1975. And right now, the lackluster attitude toward Afghanistan may result in the same result.


I'm not sure how anyone can disagree with that....


It is hard to discern a trend, given that (1) Trump barely won that district, despite the Price/Gingrich history and (2) the Republican only won against a guy (and his party) who was dumb enough to think that someone who lived outside the district (and only briefly at that) could actually win it.


A member of the Catholic Church is going to call out science for having a grim history? Just stop.


Wouldn't argue that all seasons are inferior to studs. But the debate is about studless winter tires, specifically Blizzaks. The studies all show all seasons perform the worst in winter conditions, no real argument there.


The only part where Trump failed was thinking that after 7 years to work on it, the Republicans would have had something ready regarding replacing Obummercare that they all could agree on by now. The fail belongs to Paul Ryan and the Republican party, not the President.


Actually the writer has never seen the documentary on Trump and his plane and some trips he took. We can tell Trump is demanding of perfection and spends very little time with trivia. He is well liked by his employees and schedules things to a tee. Air Force One will see a whole new level of detail.


Outlaw knives!!!

The trader says to sell these stocks now and buy them back when their yield is in the 4% to 6% range.

There may be just a small problem with that plan. A typical portfolio invested in these sectors likely yields 4% to 6% today.

These seniors are undoubtedly well positioned, are receiving in the area of $40,000 in dividends annually that will also likely attract little in the way of tax and they'll undoubtedly see that income rise year after year.

I'd sugest they sit back, enjoy life and watch those dividend cheques continue to grow. Who cares whether the the share prices of the companies they own rise or fall in the short term?  These seniors should not.


Audi aired a completely dishonest ad regarding salaries of men vs women.  What, precisely, does this have to do with selling cars?  Not to mention Audi's German board has exactly zero females, it's American board has 2 of 14 females, and it's Canadian exec ranks are both male. Is Audi using this as cover for dieselgate?


Adult supervision like Gerry "death by a 1,000 cold cuts" Ritz?

You can't possibly miss Harper' cast of half witz.

Freeland's doing just fine and the Liberals have been very diplomatic with a very difficult situation.


Forgiveness, difficult, may be possible, but trust is much harder, and, as you say, not always even prudent.


The problem with Consumer Reports is that their statistical methods are grievously flawed:  CR reporting is based on polling only CR subscribers, and their auto surveys tend to have a lot of qualitative rather than objective/quantifiable results.

For their approach to be valid, it must be demonstrated that their sample (CR subscribers) is exactly representative of the vehicle market and ownership in question.  It's not, and CR makes no claims to that effect -- they're happy to have the public believe otherwise.

Further, the demographics of the CR subscriber base are, in general, the type that would buy a Toyota (risk averse) and demonstrate confirmation bias for their choices.  Thus the traditional Japanese brands skew favourably and most other brands go the opposite direction.

Is CR a useful tool as part of overall vehicle shopping?  Yes, but it should be considered as only 1 piece of data (opinion) as it lacks objectivity and scientific rigour.

(and FWIW I'm a CR subscriber)


couldn't agree more. the height of hypocrisy. On the one hand I've approved two pipelines because, you know, the US is also a competitor so we have to be  able to sell our oil to someone else. On the other hand it's a shame they're taking that step back because the world really is in trouble vis a vis the climate. This guy is so all over the map it's frightening. He'll say anything to anyone.


Hereditary chiefs aren't created by an accident of birth.  It's a position one earns through years of selfless work on the behalf of ones people.  Traditional law is definitely codified and was not usurped by the Indian Act.  What this chief has written clearly outlines the struggle between traditional law and law imposed by the government of Canada.

You might be interested to know a significant difference between hereditary chiefs and elected chiefs.  The elected ones are respected because of the resources they acquire.  The hereditary ones are respected because of the resources they give away to their people.  Which one has earned the most respect?


Where do you Trumpkins come up with this stuff? The CBO is non-partisan...sheesh....


Migrations are common to wild-life. Migrations open to new possibilities; for example, helping us to be freed from "same-feather" thinking, from the narrow perceptions of ideological habits.
New light exposes new colors, new beauty.
Openness to opportunities of exposure to 'other'-thinking can be an optimistic and affirmative way of responding to temptations of despondence in these conflicted times. Open up to the opportunities for communication and new enlightenment. Violence is not a future happy to anticipate. Be a factor in common enlightenment.


(p.2)
I'm not exactly when Jesus is supposed to have signed His name to a letter announcing Himself as leader; is this the footsteps they follow in?  He did demonstrate His authority, however, on numerous occasions and was recognized by others as a leader.

Correction:

The failed drama teacher was only successful lulling Trump to sleep by offering nothing but hollow platitiudes to repair the damage he caused in US relations with his stupid comments about Trump and Republican voter during their election. Trump was bored by the entire experience.

The American papers only made mention of the event when Spicer mistakenly refered to him as "Joe" because he's such a small potato.

Claiming this agreement as part of Zoolander's success is pretty much like saying he can take credit for the completion of Enbridge's Line 9 pipeline which started flowing one month after our election.

Don't try to give Zoolander too much credit for simply being around to cut the ribbon when all the heavy lifting and negotiating was done by the previous government.


One of the very best things about Anchorage is that most people do care about wildlife and try to find ways to live with it.

Props to our government's response, hope the bear ambles safely back into the woods without hurting anyone.


Teams make trades because they believe that they will benefit from the transaction.  So a player not playing well in one scenario will likely play better in a different environment.  To a certain extent, that is expected.  But it is expected on both sides and there are plenty of examples of Leaf players playing well that were not on their previous team.  Looking solely at how Leaf players and coaches perform in a different environment is a one sided biased view of the situation.

And by the way, if you are asking what the Leafs have to show after 100 years of playing, that would be 13 Stanley Cup Championships, second only to the Montreal Canadiens and better than all the other 28 teams.

Of course, I think you meant to say what the Leafs have to show for the last 48 years.  But let's not let the facts get in the way of a good insult.


Well said! I'm a teacher in Fairbanks. I've been writing to the Senate every single day for the past two and a half weeks to let them know what their plan and their continued rabid adherence to that plan is doing to public education. When we're threatened with a 5.7% cut, the school district has to treat it as real. So half my hallway has been laid off, and we are all in limbo until a budget is passed. I've written them 18 times, each time detailing a new facet of the destruction they have caused by threatening such a deep cut in the first place and then delaying any budget at all by their continued insistence on a short-sighted and irresponsible budget. All of the Senate minority has responded to me. They hear me. Two in the Senate majority have responded too. Guess who's been 100% silent? Pete Kelly, John Coghill, and Click Bishop,  the Senators whose constituents in the Fairbanks Northstar Borough I have been talking about. They are proving daily that they just don't care.


Well, THAT's gonna work ...    🙄

openwater,

Many dealers who sell ICE powered cars are reluctant to sell EVS since the latter are much more mechanically reliable and require a LOT less maintenance. Brake components last much longer when regenerative braking is employed. Electric motors will last decades longer than ICE motors. Dealers don't need to be replacing oil, filters of various sorts, transmission fluid and on and on in EVs. In the 2005 Prius the batteries gave less trouble than any other component in the car (not lithium ion batteries at that point). I think the EV "debate" like so many others will not be based entirely on the facts! This is just human nature.

@advertiser1: yes without the darn population increase by immigration traffic would not be horrible and rail would not be have been an idea to come even up.


He is not racist.  He is for equal rights for women and men, and he did not do any sexual assault.  Those were all lies conjured up by liberals and media to discredit Trump.  Clearly didnt work but you fell for it hook, line and sinker. We do know Bill Clinton got his rocks off in the Oval Office.


Kasowitz wouldn't be news if he wasn't fronting for the biggest criminal in American history. It's a Trump world, and all that he touches turns to sheet.


So thats why Trumps cabinet is filled with billionaires and Goldman Sachs lifers. You have been had.

My feeling too.... I can't see him being paid by DM.... but Diko has so much spare time he does it for nothing.


The great majority of Oahu residents don't want to pay any more for rail.  If the City Council votes to increase property taxes . . . well, let's just say it's a good way to get un-elected.


Yes because Tlingit fisherman have been driving their pickup trucks to this spot for thousands of years...smh


Part 2: And just let me add that there is NO head trip like reading about the details (the thrusting! the submission!) of sexual intercourse from a Jesuit writer! Why do I even bother with Scandal. Meh, cuz I've made it to the last season on NetFlix. Can't say the same for Paul Quay's book.

"If you want to be rich, stay small."

It seems to me that's a decision to be taken independently, not forced on people by those who like to take advantage.   Being used against one's will ain't worth anything.


Yep, the position that is free thinking and did not take a knee do to liberal pressure and indoctrination to do so.


Back when victimhood was not a protected legal status and people took responsibility for their own prosperity and quietly suffered through the vicissitudes of life that none of us are immune from.


What did a semen-stained blue dress from the Oval Office have to do with a land deal in Arkansas? After a couple of years of digging, that's all a partisan prosecutor could find against Bill Clinton.
There's nothing unconstitutional about a prosecutor working an investigation finding evidence of other, related or even unrelated crimes. And of course, it's constitutional to pursue those other crimes.
Watergate started as the investigation of a burglary and led to related crimes that brought Nixon down.
Say a judge signs a search warrant based on evidence of an illegal poker game in Joe's basement. The cops come in and find they're not gambling, but there is an ounce of cocaine on the card table. Do they walk out and say: "Darn, too bad the warrant's for illegal gambling. Now we can't make a case for the cocaine."
Same as a prosecutor investigating MAFIA underlings to build a RICO case against the mob boss. She may use a drug case as a means of gaining cooperation.


More like 20+ year Homer residents tired of our town being held hostage by those of a different political persuasion who feel they need to speak for all for us... and who are dishonest about their motives and bias in doing so.

If the town has an alcohol, meth, and heroine problem it sounds like a marijuana shop is exactly what they need. Legal marijuana has gotten me completely over my alcohol addiction that was destroying my liver. I know several people that switched from alcohol to marijuana since it has been legal and each and every one of them is happier, healthier, and more pleasant to be around.

The currency is always manipulated by weak governments to take the bottom feeder approach to boosting exports. It hurts the country and its citizens and Trudeau does not care, he would rather us be made economically immobile than let us deal fairly in the world. Socialism at its finest.

Please understand what damage it would do to our community if we revert back to a second class city. This idea that the citizens will somehow gain more power as a second class city is being put forth by a group of people who are so fervently focused on a single issue that they are not examining the facts, and either can't or don't want to understand what it means. First of all, the very right that we citizens now have which allowed them to put this on the ballot in the first place will be gone. No more citizen led initiatives. Also, we will be obligated by State law, under a series of one-size-fits all laws that apply to second class cities with little regard to local issues. Regarding city council, we have the opportunity to replace four out of seven seats in the upcoming election, that is ample opportunity to vote on the issues that concern you, the move to replace the city council is unnecessary. This measure is a scorched earth attempt which will set us back decades.


trudeau, talk the talk, but can't walk the walk.

BRM, a lot of my posts, completely civil, are voted down by the forum. That's just the way it is, a lot of people will vote a post uncivil if they don't like the content even if presented in a civil manner, without insult.

So what, manana es otra dia. Time moves on, and none of our posts are breathtaking genius, just an expression of opinion.


Here we go again "fair share".......tax the working and distribute to the other half that chose  to sit on their butts. I have NO problem paying reasonable taxes for reasonable services and supporting the really needy but that went out the window in the US a long time ago! We have created generations of people who choose NOT to work and live off of the working people. The progressive mantra "fair share" is getting really old. Make it a flat tax that ALL pay. That's how you get all resident involved.


At this point nothing could we worse than sending boats out to pick up people at the Libyan coast and bring them to Europe. Yet its what they do. I predict a tidal wave of Europeans getting on boats and coming to USA Canada and Australia soon.


And if the higher price is correct, book the cheap room instead of one in the overpriced block of rooms.  I wonder if the hotel actually offers couples a rebate on every room booked in the reserved block, or offers the bridal party a "free" room, and neglects to tell them it's because they will charge more.  Wouldn't surprise me.


That would be blaming the victim, even if this means self-victimization based on free will and self determination. Go figure.


Canada, like all NATO members, signed on to a 2% of GDP contribution to its military.  Will it live up to that pledge?  Your armed forces have been in decline for decades.  Time to put your big-boy pants on, or just declare neutrality and pull out.


and yet no evidence of that ,, try again


He thinks like a businessman and not like a politician. There is a difference. His money buys him the best legal advice in America,  as good as anything any president gets in the White House.  Trump knows exactly what Constitutional  powers he will have as president. .He knows what he can do even if  you don't like it.  He isn't necessarily smarter than other people, but he thinks faster and on more levels than others.  Statements made  during the election the media went ballistic over, have indeed materialized just as he said they would.  Hating him doesn't make him wrong.


The judge stated that she appeared to make decisions for herself when leaving the bar.  This would imply a level of competency.  The professor of law stated that there was much circumstantial evidence to dispute the ability to give consent.......but circumstantial evidence doesn't count with a legal decision.

I don't think anyone is happy with the outcome of the trial with the possible exception of the cab driver.  But the judge ruled according to law.


Maybe she just doesn't believe the developer's claim that the project doesn't make fiscal sense unless it is grossly oversized for the neighborhood.

Isn't that what Capstone said - that their project did not pencil out without the MUPTE tax breaks?

It is not up to neightbors to worry about what is financially acceptable to the developer - it is to represent their own interests.


bavis, thanks for proving my point.


I like it when a candidate questions the assumptions underlying government policies, especially when those policies don't seem to be helping the people who are already here.


Something is really wrong with America. I was taught you respect the position no matter who is there. People are gonna give me a million reasons why this happens and I agree he got to stop tweeting and start fighting the big battles instead of the media millennials!

Whoa! I must have kind of skimmed over that part. That can't be right.. They gave a private company a billion dollars to figure out how to grow pot??  New Brunswick even HAS a billion dollars?


But the president & governor had flags lowered to half staff and send their thoughts and prayers to all those that lost loved ones or were injured....isn't that enough.  The shallowness of politicians is as incredible as those gestures.  They'll never address the issue,  how many die every year from guns in this country +20k, if that many died in plane crashes and it was preventable they'd make you take your shoes off every time thru security, oh wait they passed that meaningless reform.

Uh, it was a Democrat that did the harassment and if by acting on morals, you mean waiting a year and a half, and only doing so after other women came forward, then sure, that's what it looks like.


junction, still an alt left lunatic out of touch with reality in every way!,, but the left has become so arrogant and fascist ,, in a bubble they dont understand is going to mean they will lose big in 19!


The PM has nothing to apologize for. Messages from other world leaders are in line with Trudeau's comments (Kofi Annan, Ban Ki-moon, Jimmy Carter, Pope Francis, John Kerry, Obama etc).
Fidel did some bad things. So did George Bush. No, we don't like dictators, but our methods of dealing with dictators, hitherto, have not worked; #Iraq, #Libya.We need to rethink our approach. The US harsh rhetoric and embargo on Cuba was an abysmal failure. They did not achieve the desired aim of overthrowing Fidel. Rather, they hardened Castro and collectively punished the Cuban people.
Fast forward to Myanmar. Quiet diplomacy (not holier than thou relinquish power or die ultimatums) finally convinced the dictators to ease off after decades of dictatorship. Myanmar is not perfect yet, but lessons needs to be learned. Carrots, mixed with gentle sticks go a long way. The PM's quiet diplomacy is more effective than the conventional  pontification from the likes of Clifford Owin.


Seems the wrong person resigned.


How scary and what would have been a horrible way to die! This guy was extremely lucky. I hope he didn't suffer any permanent injuries from frostbite.


its pathetic


Now all the children in Alaska get to pay the same PFD flat tax as the most wealthy.


Its called arrogance and an unbounded ego - the world exists for his benefit, he sees no need to contribute.


i:  Mid-course corrections; and now the Dems are the ones preventing that from happening.  Where are the Dems proposed changes to ACA.


No means no. Stop being creepy.


Question: why do woman tennis players only have to,play 2 sets to win a match while men have to play 3 sets? Men's matches last up to 3 hours while woman's sets are over in half the time. This is never mentioned when it comes to,prize money.


I wonder does President Trump really understand what he caused?  Does he not understand "America is a land where men govern, but women rule." John Mason Brown.  "Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes." Jim Carrey.  "Women are made to be loved, not understood." Oscar Wilde.  "Did not God make Man before Woman, you always make a rough draft before the final masterpiece." Unknown.  "Women will be never as successful as men because they have no wives to advise them." Dick Van Dyke.  A picture of one of the women wearing a hat with a take off of "Make America Great Again", her hat said "Make Women Great Again." Trump must not understand women, he better be afraid, be Very Afraid.  A Woman "Opens her mouth with wisdom and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue." Proverbs 31:26

The lack of 'critical thinking' skills is one of the reasons for the rise of both sides.


_"Why do the Khans get special and national exposure at the DNC? Because they’re Muslim. It’s PC BS pure and simple."_ -- 4:20

In fairness, I think the reason that the Muslim parents of a soldier who died in combat were provided a forum is to emphasize that not all Muslims are terrorists (just as all Christians don't follow Christ's teachings). Of course, the Khan's were speaking only to people who don't have hearts filled with hate and minds filled with Fox News garbage.

Hell.
No.


You were never deported so why go after others?


Topekans are too lazy to play sports, they  would more likely be farm boys from Ellsworth or Wakeeny, maybe Cowley County.


Since "wild" animal rights lawyers are not paid well by their clients, this one feels compelled to earn a living by simply commenting on the handling of wild animals. This particular bear ( not the family loving Winnie the Pooh or Yogi and Boo Boo kind of bears she writes about) represented a tremendous danger to the citizens of Scarborough.

If she really wants to make a name for herself and her case for her clients, she should whip up some tuna salad sandwiches and head to banff  for a meeting with bear 173.


Shame they just decided to go ahead with the war games.  How dumb was that?  He will continue to lob missles as that is basically all he can do.


I hope its affordable.  The goods were sold, and the proceeds have been collected.  The books will tell you that.
Its as affordable as receiving 10.00 from a sale, and having ten dollars in the till, even if youre jammed up at the moment.


"Interchangeable" is an adjective not subject to qualification. And the two words have an almost opposite meaning: that which is presumed, and that which presumes.


Interesting correlation, gay men and divorcees.  It kinda pains me to ask, but would you mind explaining that one?


Awesome product; price is not that awesome.


The dude was born in Manchester.  Homegrown hater.  Being a sanctuary city or not would probably not have made a difference as the dude was already there from birth.  Europe is strange in that most of the terrorist are homegrown.  You can ban travel from all the predominantly muslim countries you want, but the real issue are the terrorist radicalized in Europe who were born there or otherwise have citizenship.


Agreed Mr Nieto.   With over 70% of export going to United States that has a spoilt child as POTUS, we need to diversify trade with other countries like Mexico.  Already trade is $28 billion which is nothing to sneeze at.  If Trump rips up NAFTA, we should continue free trade with Mexico.


So...there's a place for rent down there? Color me IN!


Wind farms built on relatively cheap land with constant wind from the Yukon to Texas could provide all the electricity needed from Phoenix  to Toronto.  Thankyou  Rick for your first hand, on site, news report!  You should apply as a Globe and Mail correspondent.


Firstly, claiming that those among the adherents to my faith seeking to harm non-Muslims constitute 'a great many' falls kinda flat without reliable numbers to to support said claim.

Every country has a right to defend its borders and to establish criteria for those seeking to enter.  If they choose unjust criteria, I likewise have the right to denounce their choices as immoral, and in some cases a violation of human rights.

An example of the latter was the US refusing admission to El Salvadoran refugees who were demonstrably in real danger of being tortured and killed by their government, for no other reason than that government was a puppet/client of our own.

And I've made it clear, I think, that I'm vehemently opposed to both Trumpy the Clown and Hillory the Blood Countess.  Without a viable third-party candidate, I won't be voting for president this election.

Like George Carlin said: "If you vote you have NO right to b*tch--you signed YOUR name to whatever crimes they commit!"


Please tell this to the baiters in their $60,000 pickup trucks, who are huffing and puffing after walking 300 yards into the woods.


I guess the issue is people not willing to put up with the stupid charade of pretending they are willing to live as brother and sister.


This can be un-bungled. The positive thing is, the Canadian Government finally did something about this horrible situation.  There should also be an inquiry regarding the missing boys and men of the First Nations.


Neato, uh, what? Whadup wid da babble?


If last week's coverage of the crazed Democrat shooting up a baseball field full of innocent Americans is any indication, this story will soon disappear, to be replaced by a story about that one time a Republican spoke badly about muslims.


Like Auntie Maxine says: "Imo 'peach 45"!


Because that's not the way elections work. Also, most Americans don't want this criminal for president.

I know where I stand.
You keep changing faces and sing this fanciful song about bipartisanship.
I'm just saying that you will be disappointed because what you call "bipartisanship"
will be seen as "capitulation" by everyone else.
You'll pretend to be disappointed that "bipartisanship" never happened on your terms and
you will point fingers and lay blame ... at guess who?
Spare us the drama.


Agreed.
But I think that authoritarian behaviour has a larger underlying premise.

However, if one happened to have recorded Justin saying that he had discussed/listened to issues presented by a lobbyist then Justin has convicted himself.

He's worse than Pierre.


Ha ha, Trump is so spineless. I would love to see him try his sociopath handshake trick that he did on Neil Gorsuch, but instead on Vladimir Putin.

Trump will likely decide this whole "having his first real job" thing isn't worth the trouble at some point, and he'll probably just bail... go back to peddling cheap steaks and appearances on cringeworthy reality TV.


"... pointing fingers at the cops while their own run around committing murders and crime."
.
That right there is some thinking that I never will understand.  "...while their own run around.."  "...their own..."  what?  How do you break that down:  All Asians responsible for all Asians or just Koreans responsible for Koreans?  Every American responsible for every American or just black&white.  Being blind to your own thinking in terms of your own racial prejudices to condemn others prejudice is amazing.

A white a-hol3 is absolutely no reflection on me because of the color of my skin.

Russia is an oligarchy just like any western country...no more commie. Been sleeping for 26 years?


Too funny. Buck up put the game behind you.


At the current rate of descent, it will only be two years.  The Dems will regain control of both houses and immediately begin impeachment proceedings.  IF (and it's a big IF) Mr. T. can hold on that long.


Flat tax proposals are nowhere near 50%.  The idea is that there would be a flat tax (i.e. 25%), with plans to mitigate the taxes for the poor by offering tax credits which will offset (in whole or in part) the taxes owed.

Most people would pay less than they do today, and those that don't pay anything today likely wouldn't pay anything then either (if they were legitimately low income, for example).

On a principals basis, our current system is unfair.  It is "unfair" to take more (as a percentage) from those with more money, as we do today.


Roll Monarchs!!


You go, Ben!  Mahalo.


I liked the nerdy girls in high school - they were the only ones who would even give me the time of day :)


A faded Palin on the left and a bright red Trump to the right bumpers sticker I'll bet.


The Senators employ a trap.
It  can be effective at times but the Rangers have been skating right through it. They have broken Guy Boucher's only strategy. The Senators do not forecheck consistently, so the Rangers can usually exit their zone without the pressure that makes the Rangers defense make blunders.
NYR forwards are skating really well. The entire team has outworked the Senators in the last two games.
Here comes Game 5. Lets see what happens.


Rempel and Kent have to go somewhere where people don't know them as complete jokes.


And they keep running the $@%ing ball out of the endzone on kickoffs, costing themselves 10 yards (or more)!

We need to put a sniper with a dart gun behind the endzone to shoot our kickoff returner in the *** if he even THINKS about trying to run out with the ball.


The only pervert is u. U assumed that it was a male teacher. But not only would I have been shocked that a man would say this, but with a bit of googling, I found out that it was a female teacher.
Personally, I have to say that it is ppl like YOU whose behavior is the real problem
Not only do you push your PC junk, but then you blame makes when even when it is not.


What a joke.  All of these politicians and police chiefs are truly horrible people.  They're cockroaches, especially Goodale. He should change his name to Doesntgiveacrapatall.

They've known about these issues for years and have done nothing about it.  They've chosen to do nothing because they don't care abut enforcing the law.  The only reason these parasites are yapping like a bunch of poodles is because the issues are public now.

As if the people who created and ignored the problem are suddenly going to jump into action and solve it. Truly despicable people.  They let rapists get away with their crimes. That's really something to be proud of. And now they're lying to the public and the survivors.


It used to be that perusing the Lame County Mugshots you would find every other criminal facing charges for pot and meth.  Now days it's more Heroin, meth and more than likely both that we see more and more young people charged with possessing.  I guess pot isn't good enough now that it's legal, on to bigger and badder things.  It's bad enough to know we're sharing the road with drunks, tweakers and pot heads.  At least the heroin addicts we read about in the news lately seem to pass out at a stand still.


And in another corner of the Canadian universe...

"Will I be allowed to directly ask what the PM's conversations were when he mixed and mingled with the Chinese wealthy in private meetings?  Will I get a straight answer?  Will that answer be consistent with Canadian values?

"Access to education is really the key to opportunity..."
  That;s why university tuition has doubled and tripled in Britain and the US, significantly risen in Canada.
  No need to get violent. We just need folks to understand the Scandinavian nations should be our role models, not the elitist war crazies in Britain and the US, where making war devours trillions of dollars and pounds.


There is an old observation that to a man with a hammer, the entire world looks like a nail.  Mr. Pitts traffics in race, it is the very essence of his being.  It is no surprise that he should find it everywhere.  He has chosen poorly.  Sucks to be him.  Cheers -


You know that they'll march out the "Planned Parenthood is evil" banner to distract their easily swayed GOP sheep.  The vanishing middle class who vote GOP fall for this every time.  The candidates will crow about how they somehow temporarily stopped funding to Planned Parenthood while they quietly use their constituent's PFD to pay oil companies.


The unemployment rate is extremely low, there are plenty of jobs out there, this "make work" plan is just another shibai from the government. Stop "giving" these people everything, close the shelters, the soup kitchens, and all current forms  of temporary housing, assistance and sustenance see how quickly they get motivated.


Reminds me of a family in South Anchorage that perished, all of them, when they were exposed to carbon monoxide. So sad. Prayers to the family and those who lost their lives to this odorless, colorless, and deadly toxic poison.


Hmm,I thought the stewed porcupine tasted funny.


Oh NTA they don't need to Veto anything . They just won't follow the order or will "interpret" commanders intent. The DNA of the Canadian forces however have a very much "We'll show the bastards" attitude and they take care of each other at the end of the day. Believe me that the people I know in the Forces are very much in a wait and see mode with respect to the present administration. The Forces are all from Missouri when the Libs are in power.


The Dems created this procedure, and now must be subject to it themselves.  How do you like it now Chuck?


Moochi whas hired to get rid of Reince Priebus, and it was a temporary post. Priebus and Moochi are both potential Swamp Republican shills, who are aligned against the base of the people who elected Trump (aka Steve Bannon who is dismantling the two-party slaves as we speak))


I agree with Juan. Hard-working people should not have to be worried about being rousted from their homes or jobs as they're trying to support their families. As long as they are law-abiding, the government should leave them alone!


Maybe just maybe we should put the Rail aside and concentrate on some basic necessities like sprinklers and saving lives.   Nah, makes too much sense....  My prayers to those who perished.


Plug it in Plug it in...


I guess the orange man never said he would repeal and replace Obamacare on day one, and everyone will have cheap insurance and great options.


I've found the best way to get polite service in Europe is try to fit in.  Otherwise dress like they do (no track suits, tennis shoes or other clothes that make you look American), don't always be asking where the nearest McDonald's is, try the local food instead.  Except if in the UK or Ireland where English is the main language or Scandinavian Countries or Netherlands where virtually everyone speaks English, make an effort to speak a few words of the local language and if you cannot always ask if the person speaks English before speaking unless on their name tag it shows they do.  While English is widely spoken as a second language in Europe, not everyone speaks it and unlike the US most Europeans take pride in knowing multiple languages so even if they speak English at least making an effort is appreciated which I find Brits often do but not Canadians and Americans.


Millennial's are beginning to figure out home ownership in this brutal landscape. If they can come up with a down payment (either save up or get it from their parents), most quality for an FHA loan for first time home buyers. Once they get that 3 bedroom house with a $1600 mortgage, they can bring in 2 roommates at $800 a month, "live for free", and actually save some money every month.


Shannon, just because you say something does not make it true.  You say that abortions are lower where women have cheap birth control. This is what is called a LIE.  Do some research on welfare and other poor women who have access to free birth control - they have a larger percentage of abortions per 100,000 than any other group.  Abortions are a convenience.  Personally I don't care if you commit murder, abortion, or other evils to your children.  Keep them from reproducing please.


In light of all of the negative press that the citizens of North Carolina have been receiving for having the nerve to pass a law so that pervs like this man would be required to use the restroom that matched their anatomy... regardless of how gender fluid they professed to be I would say that making fun of of those left wing nuts is mandatory under the circumstances. Anyone who thinks we should integrate our public restrooms to accommodate a few mentally ill by pretending that they are normal has jumped the shark and their opinion of who is and who isn't a bigot is worthless and unreliable. You do know how to spot the bigot in the crowd don't you Ward 1?


It's ok to be racist as long as your not a whitey.

Yes. He was a very interesting writer. Those Southern Catholic writers. We really need to re read them. How would he and Flannery write and think now? I miss their words not written.


Not just "technically".   It is not a "bank" by any measure.

The fact that you make a comment, not knowing this, should concern you.


Just as I thought: He didn't "steal" anything.  You're just upset about his appointment.
Get over it.


Ah, the old scarf-to-hide-the-crepey-neck trick.  Sign of a lack of transparency.  This big field shows they understand that Polis can't win a state wide election.  Not sure any Democrat can next year.


This approach to fundraising is akin to using government advertising to promote the political party in power which Harper did with the infrastructure advertising - I was hoping for better of this administration.


Don't get me wrong, I'm glad CB is now free.  However, reporting like this is why I was happy to pay for it.

"Sen. John McCain said President Trump still hasn’t apologized for disparaging his war record on the campaign trail ... "

Of course not.  Trump never apologizes for anything, no matter how heinous.

LeBron got Trump right, with extra points for succinctness:  "U Bum"


partly correct. They lacked the controls to identify the trigger events which qualified the investor for the lower cost units. What about the dual compensation problem of holding funds that paid them a fee inside an account that paid them a fee? That's just wrong.


You're right, Robyn have players that hardly ever had much playing time. I think Shoji had an idea that he wasn't going to coach once Taylor and Higgins graduated so he was leaving it to the next coach to build the team.
My guess is it will be 2-3 years before UH will be able to win the conference and be ranked in the top 25.


Chaput and his fellow conservatives smell less like the sheep and more like the one-percent. To describe fellow Catholics who are politically motivated as 'flacks' requires that he look in he mirror if he wants to know what a political flack looks like. Nothing in these e-mails, whether these exchanges about conservatives or the earlier 'leaked' remarks to the financial sector amount to anything but pragmatic observations.


I emailed the assembly when the red flags started going on up this project  (back when it was $29million) pointing out that industry studies on ERP software installations predicted a minimum cost of $79.5 million over 26 months to do this particular project. And, yes, I did include links to the studies.
Not one assembly member replied.
ADN has omitted from the story that a senior IT manager for the city has already been fired over this disaster.


About time.  The liberals are lamenting this action.   They need to step up to the plate and fight for it Congress.   They shouldn't have to many problems since Ryan and McConnell seem to give them what they want anyways.


I don't like it one bit. There are so many situations that the best computers can't judge. And they want to make cars without steering wheels or brake pedals so that drivers have no way to take over. No thank you !


I agree, Western woods.  What I do with or to my body is my business, provided that I am not risking others' health.  And please don't give me the "but we have a public health system" argument.

Chin should worry about more important problems we have here in Hawaii instead of worrying about some grandmother in Somalia who can't come here to go surfing in waikiki.


She was pregnant when she went 'backpacking' and had two more in captivity.


One thing I've not read, is the number of sanctuary cities that exist in the US. Miami, where a large number of the temporary status Haitians reside, is one of them. That means civic officials will not hold non-citizens if they are requested to do so by US Federal authorities. So temporary residents are safe there. Those who are leaving and coming to Canada are looking for a new deal.


"you do realize that as president, you’re going to have to wait for the facts before commenting?"

Ha, what a hypocrite, let's see you write an article about President Obama's impeccable record of waiting for facts before commenting.


The unfortunate thing is that the Mayor and Liberal party also wants this swept under the rug to avoid embarrassment during the upcoming election should we find out how badly this was bungled from the start.


Keep those personal insults coming, Mark. They are proof that you have nothing of value to add to the discussion.

To answer the question factually about him it is only necessary to listen to the man, himself.


LW1 -- you modeled caretaking behavior for your daughter and she's doing exactly what you trained her to do. By focusing on her, all you're doing is distracting yourself from your own issues. Keep going to Alanon and learn to focus on YOU not her.

LW2 - sounds more like borderline than bipolar but PPD should be ruled out.


Let's spend good city money on hiding the homeless in Eugene and pretending they don't exist... It's sure to work so much better than spending money on trying to actually stop the homelessness, but that wouldn't be capitalistic enough would it? In the not too distant future, this mentality is going to HAVE to change or we are going to be in for a filthy, piss smelling future when automation puts 50% of the population out of work.


Ramming speed, Mr. Morgan. Welcome to Oregon!


There is a good reason for that, among other things, he is naive and weak.


Exactly.  Plus there are the known IDIOTS in Western society to do their best to criticize and stymie the security forces all the while screaming about human rights violations and racism.


So, for children who have grown up in the US, who know only the experience of living in the US, in your assessment, sending them to developing country like, say, Guatemala (where they don't know the language, don't know the cultural norms, and face a fairly high risk of death from violence) _isn't_ cruel?  Good to know that.


Tulsi, you act as if this is news. Earth Shattering News.
But in 2015 Crazy Uncle  Bernie signed a similar deal. And while he and his campaign didn't raise the kind of money Sec.Clinton and her team raised, they also didn't pay off the HUGE debt that the DNC was drowning in. Do you really believe Sec. Clinton and her cohorts would pay off the bills of YOUR DNC without receiving something in return?


Not that easy to get them into the service these days, but i Iike the concept of conscripting some of these folks into public service.    We often forget the value of  work to our self esteem.


No, he didn't call them monster trucks.


I do not know about the service in Paonia, but we went to a camp in the hills to the East of Paonia Reservoir last year and they were happy to have crackly sub Voice Grade service. Combine this with the total lack of Cell Phone service and it certainly spelled out LIMITED CONNECTIVITY.  But then, it would have taken a proportionally huge investment to give the 6 ranches we drove by on the 8 to 10 miles we drove off the paved road to arrive at our destination.  I cannot imagine anybody attempting to lay fiber all the way up there for 6 customers.


Huge amounts isn't the prescription you have for black athletes. 99% is the prescription you have for black athletes. Not for white business men. Just for black athletes.

I'm still waiting for you to admit that if Trump cares so much about the flag or the National Anthem or Confederate monuments then he and his family should give away all but $100k of his supposed millions of dollars a year in earnings to protect and preserve those things.

Same with every CEO in America. Give away your money, boys! Because Como Estas thinks everybody should donate 99% if their income like he does. Oh wait. No, he doesn't donate that much. And he doesn't think white talk show hosts or business men should. He just thinks black athletes should.


Several councillors mentioned how today many black person still suffer the emotional scars of slavery of 300 years ago. I fail to see how the gay men of Toronto should atone for either the slavery or the immaturity of people claim to be lingering victims of it. The African slave trade is still on going in Arabic/Muslim countries, but nobody at BLM wants to talk about that.


Removing metal detectors means lives of both Muslim Arab worshipers and security personal will be endangered by Islamic terrorists.

What is there to celebrate for those who are not Islamic terrorists?


I suppose I could describe laws requiring the use of seat belts or motorcycle helmets, or drug prohibition, as creeping fascism, but few would agree.

New Zealand is currently seeing an influx of wealthy American immigrants seventeen times higher than its normal rate.
